Notes from Day 3 in Beloit
by, 08-05-2012 at 09:50 AM (1084 Views)
The weather has certainly been a factor in Beloit the first three days of this trip. The first two days, it was so hot. Temperatures hovered in the mid-90s and humidity was quite high. On Saturday, however, the weather was a little different and that crazy humidity finally burst into some impressive thunderstorms. Would there be baseball, or would we have to make a tough decision about whether to stay for a doubleheader on Sunday? (Note- we had already decided we would!)
Saturday morning started out well with some high-quality blog writing (my opinion, maybe not yours). At noon, Travis, Jeremy, Jed and I went to Jerseys for lunch. I have to admit that the steak sandwich is pretty great. It was fun because it was just four guys, sitting around a sports bar, chatting about the state of the Twins, players in the Twins farm system and other deep questions like Will Jeff Bagwell get into the Hall of Fame and what would we do with Stephen Strasburg down the stretch?
Although it was quite warm and the clouds were gray and the wind was picking up, it had not yet rained. However, I had received notice that the Snappers would not be having batting practice and werent arriving at the ballpark until 5:00. It was no surprise as the weather reports certainly indicated that some severe weather was headed our way.
What it also meant was that we had a couple more hours to kill. We all agreed that a movie would be the best way to do that. So, we went over to the Luxury Theatre, and when we saw that the movie Ted was playing, we all unanimously agreed that it was the one we must see. And we were not disappointed. The four of us laughed most of the movie. Certainly not a cutesy teddy bear movie. Thats for sure. But it was one of the better comedies I have seen in a long time. Plus, there is a baseball connection in the movie as arguably the most emotional moment occurred at Fenway Park!
Well, throughout the movie, we could hear thunder and pouring rain outside the theatres walls. When we got out of the movie at around 4:20, it was still raining, sometimes even quite hard. We went back to the hotel where we met the infamous Jim Crikket of Knuckleballs fame. He had driven to Beloit from Cedar Rapids and noted that the dark clouds followed him the whole way. We all sat around until about 5:30 when the rain pretty much stopped. We headed over to the field.
I was impressed. When we got to Pohlman Field, the grounds crew and the front office had just pulled the tarp off the infield and the field looked really good. Other volunteers were working furiously, toweling off the seats that were soaked from the rain. Again, the Snappers work with a smaller group and what they were able to do to get the field ready to play was remarkable!
I talked briefly with Dallas Gallant. The team had all worked out in the morning together. The pitchers had just gone on the field a half-hour earlier to run through another pre-game stretch and their daily work.
For the first time, I ventured down the third base line, past the dugout. There is a picnic area that I thought required a special ticket to go into, but it didnt. During the warm ups, I went out there and was able to get some really good pitchers. I talked to Tommy Watkins and AJ Pettersen down the line. Yes, the below picture of AJ does show him wearing a catchers mitt. As he wrote recently at Twins Daily, when he is not in the lineup, he enjoys being a bullpen catcher.
I met Justin Rinaldi and his brother Vincent Rinaldi. They are the young guys behind Rinaldi Photos. Youll definitely want to check out their work here. Also, they will be at the Snappers games the next three days and likely will post many more pictures. They now are traveling the Midwest League taking photos and they are really good.
And then it was time to start the game. When you see my July Twins minor league pitchers of the month, you will certainly see Jason Wheeler. The lefty from Loyola Marymount went 4-0 with a 2.03 ERA in five starts. His first August start technically started out shaky as he gave up two runs on three hits in the first inning. However, box scores alone dont tell you that two of the singles rolled through the right-side of the infield and the other was a well-placed bunt single. After that inning, Wheeler was great. He went a total of eight innings and gave up only those two runs. He gave up a total of six hits and one or two of the other three were of the bloop variety.
Wheeler gets the loss in the 2-1 defeat at the hands of the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers, but he was very impressive. Again, at 6-8, Wheeler stands out. He does not throw hard, likely topping out at 90 at this time. But he has terrific control of his fastball, a very good curveball, and a changeup, and an occasional slider. In this contest, he struck out ten batters. In general, he kept the opposing hitters completely off balance.
2012 10th round draft pick DJ Baxendale came in and pitched a 1-2-3 ninth frame in which he struck out the side. He pitched for Arkansas in the College World Series and then quickly signed with the Twins when his team was eliminated. He has now pitched in nine games out of the bullpen between Elizabethton and Beloit. He he pitched ten innings and given up three hits, walked on and now has struckout 22 batters. He has kind of a deceptive, three-quarters delivery and has a very sharp slider to go along with a plus-fastball.
Kennys Vargas provided the offense. In the 2nd inning, he drilled a fastball probably 410 feet, just to the left of center field for his 7th home run in 12 games with the Snappers. He rounded the bases, and he even did the David Ortiz, point-to-the-sky when he touched home plate. Seriously, the resemblance to Big Papi are uncanny.
Miguel Sano had a double down the right field line. He might have been able to get a triple on it but was held up at second. Sano is such a big man. Once he gets going, he can fly around the bases. There are little parts of his game that are often forgotten about, or people dont know or hear about, because all we hear about are the home runs and the strikeouts. Like yesterday, I mentioned his incredible arm. Today, its his speed. He can really move quickly.
Eddie Rosario was held to just one hit in this game. He played second base and actually was a part of two double plays. One was on a bounding ball up the middle that he fielded, stepped on second and threw to 1B. The second was on a line drive that he threw to first to get the runner who strayed too far from the bag.
Another day, another game in which Nate Roberts was on base half of the time. He had a solid single up the middle, and later he had a long at bat that resulted in a walk.
One of the highlights for me was in the middle innings, I was going to go walk around. I like standing next to the Snappers dugout, by the on-deck circle once in a while because you get a great view of the hitter. While I was standing there, someone asked if I was Seth. I turned and said, Yes, I am. I knew who it was, but he introduced himself as Matt Tomshaw, who the night before pitched a great seven innings. Since he pitched yesterday, he was in charge of filming todays game which means that he had a list of things that he was supposed to get video for throughout the game. The Snappers pitchers and a couple of their hitters as well. Anyway, he was between duties and it was very nice of him to come up and say hi. It was nice chatting with a guy who has obviously risen up in the eyes of prospect guys like myself since being a late-round draft pick just a year ago.
Following the game, we talked to AJ a little bit. Wang-Wei Lin came over to say hi again. Hell be in the lineup again on Sunday. A few other players came over and shook hands. Later, Miguel Sano was walking through the crowd, and as you can imagine, several were asking for his autograph, or to get a picture with him. I have read several places that he can be a difficult sign, but in the three days that I have been here so far, he has been signing quite a bit. Frankly, he seems much more relaxed and seems to enjoy it a little bit. He has acknowledged us each day. As he was finishing up, he came over to shake AJs brothers hand, and then he came over and extended his hand to me and we shook hands.
At that time, we went and sat down and enjoyed a tremendous fireworks display. The crowd was announced at just over 2,200 people which was great to see.
With that, we have one more game to see here in Beloit. This afternoon at 2, the Snappers will again play the Timber Rattlers. Lefty David Hurlbut will be on the mound for the Snappers. It is Prince Fielder Beast Mode bobble arms day today at Pohlman Field so there should be a nice attendance today. Also, the weather isnt supposed to be quite so unbearable, maybe into the low 80s! A great day for a ball game.
When the game finishes this afternoon, Travis and I will be back on the road, headed back as far as the Twin Cities tonight. Then tomorrow morning, an early departure for home. So, I likely wont get to a Day 4 report until maybe Monday. So, be sure to check out my Twitter feed for updates throughout the day and going forward.
However, I do need to give a huge Thank You to Chrissy Scaffidi, the Snappers Director of Media and Public Relations, who has helped us out tremendously throughout our time here. As busy as she is, shes made time for us and been remarkably helpful to us. GM Matt Bosen also spent some time with us over the first three days which is very appreciative. Again, as the Snappers are working with a six-person front office, and those six have so many duties beyond whatever is in their job description, their support of myself and Twins Daily has been very much appreciated. I cant encourage Twins fans from the Twin Cities or anywhere enough that it is well worth it for you to make the trek to Beloit. It isnt that far I guess its about 13 hours each way for me, but its likely well less than that for you to make a trip. The baseball is good. This is a good product that theyre putting on the field. There are great prospects. There is some serious talent. The atmosphere at Pohlman Field is awesome, and the players and coaches are so accessible and for the most part, very personable. The team is going to be in the playoffs in September, and tickets are already available for that. IF you are at all able, I would certainly encourage a trip to Beloit to see the Snappers.
And now, here are several pictures from Saturday:

Lots of items floating around the rinks on Black Friday, which just got blacker with the announcement the NHL is canceling all games through December 14 -- and the All-Star Weekend for late January in Columbus.
The cancellations take the total number of games lost to the lockout up to 422, or 34.3 percent of the schedule. The Sabres have now had 27 games wiped off the original schedule (15 at home).
Seven more games were lost today (home against San Jose, Montreal, Ottawa, Chicago and road against Boston, Toronto and Montreal). Of course, if there's a season, a completely new schedule is going to have to be drawn up anyway at this point.
"The reality of losing more regular-season games as well as the 2013 NHL All-Star Weekend in Columbus is extremely disappointing," said NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly. "We feel badly for NHL fans and particularly those in Columbus, and we intend to work closely with the Blue Jackets organization to return the NHL All-Star events to Columbus and their fans as quickly as possible."
There is not expected to be an All-Star Game in 2014 because of the Winter Olympics in Sochi, so Columbus' next chance appears to be 2015.
3:25 p.m. update -- Statement from NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr: "On Wednesday, the players presented a comprehensive proposal, once again moving in the owners' direction in order to get the game back on the ice. The gap that remains on the core economic issues is $182 million. On Wednesday, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said that the league is losing $18-20 million per day during the lockout, therefore two more weeks of cancelled games far exceeds the current economic gap. It makes the NHL's announcement of further game cancellations, including the 2013 All-Star Weekend, all the more unnecessary, and disappointing for all hockey fans – especially those in Columbus. The players remain ready to negotiate but we require a willing negotiating partner."
---Daly and NHL Special Counsel Steve Fehr continued to paint a bleak picture of things during separate interviews today on the FAN 590 in Toronto. (Go here for the audio of both interviews). There are no new meetings scheduled, no new offers apparently coming from either side.
Said Fehr: "We moved a couple of miles, and they moved a couple of inches. If it was Thanksgiving dinner, they gave us a relish tray but no turkey."
OK then.
Daly, meanwhile, spent a good portion of his interview talking about the potential of the union using decertification as a tactic to perhaps speed things to a solution. Daly called it "a time-consuming process that would likely lead to the end of the season."
Who was the warning clearly directed to? Sabres goaltender Ryan Miller, who e-mailed the Toronto Globe and Mail (the national newspaper of Canada) late Thursday night with his thoughts that endorsed that direction.
"I am tired of the disregard and the ego," Miller wrote in part. "Our fans and sponsors are alienated, and this is hurting the game. This process has more of the appearance of brand suicide than a negotiation."
Confirmed Daly today: "I guess I underestimated the magnitude of the gulf between us. We continue to be far apart."
---Better news department: Sabres assistant coach Teppo Numminen has been named to the 2013 class of the International Ice Hockey Federation Hall of Fame. Others named include Paul Henderson, Mats Sundin and Peter Forsberg.

By Taylor Kuykendall
Register-Herald Reporter
As the natural gas industry, boosted in large part by Marcellus shale wells, grows in West Virginia, people have been looking to the West Virginia coal industry for lessons from the past.
Randy Huffman, secretary of the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection, said the DEP is trying to double oil and gas staff to be sure they adequately regulate natural gas. He said the history of coal provides several lessons in the need to protect the environment.
"I think the biggest lesson is to regulate," Huffman said. "That is really a lot of what is going into our thought process here. We have the opportunity to get out in front of this industry instead of waiting for something bad to happen."
Paul Ziemkiewicz, director of the West Virginia Water Research Institute, agreed that waiting for the crisis to occur before regulating shouldn't be the plan.
"The biggest mistake that was made was waiting for a crisis to occur before instituting the next round of regulations," he said. "That was kind of the history — gradually implementing environmental regulations in the coal industry. You would have fish kills, disasters or recurring dead streams."
Ziemkiewicz said West Virginia is now equipped to properly regulate gas.
"In reality, I think we have a lot of experience now in what we need to do to protect surface waters for aquatic users and municipal drinking water supplies," Ziemkiewicz said. "I think we can take those lessons and apply them now with regard to the gas industry, rather than waiting for things to go seriously wrong."
Proceed carefully and ensure that the natural gas industry positively impacts the state, Ziemkiewicz advised.
"The Marcellus industry is potentially very big and very important for the state, economically," Ziemkiewicz said. "Just like anything in the energy world, if you do it right, it could be an asset to the state. If you don't, it could be a detriment and a liability."
Shanda Minney, executive director of the West Virginia Rivers Coalition, said many of the problems her organization faces are not from modern issues but rather "legacy" issues of the days when coal was lightly, if at all, regulated.
"A lot of the work we have done in the past and currently is from legacy pollution of coal where we didn't adequately protect from discharges of certain chemicals," Minney said. "We have a very widespread acid mine drainage problem across the northern part of the state."
Now, because there was inadequate bonding and permit fees, those legacy issues have left West Virginia without adequate resources to deal with them, Minney said.
"Had they been adequately regulated, we could have done a lot to prevent these legacy issues from occurring in the first place," Minney said.
She said legislators need to take a hard look at natural gas and make sure it is "done right." Many of the legislators have acknowledged such an obligation, admitting that when the coal industry first moved in, legislation to benefit West Virginians didn't necessarily happen.
Tom Jones, Marshall University professor and an environmental scientist, said when regulations are put in place, they are largely followed by the coal industry.
"Most modern mines operate within the law," Jones said. "Just like hundreds of years ago, manufacturing stopped using children in unsafe manufacturing practices. The same thing has happened; most modern operations recognized this."
Trusting drillers to be responsible in regard to the environment is out of the question, said Howard Swint, a commercial property broker in Charleston.
"We have abandoned mine lands in this state, we have Superfund sites just down the Kanawha River as testament for having taken industry at their word," Swint said. "I ask that the committee and our lawmakers do not make the same mistake again. This is a wonderful opportunity; it's a bridge fuel to the future."
Bill Raney, president of the West Virginia Coal Association, said the coal industry is working to become a cleaner energy fuel.
"We need to get better at mining it, drilling it, using it and protecting everything around it," Raney said. "We're pretty good at it. Very good at it. I think the gas industry is learning the same things we have over the years."

President Obama and Gen. Stanley McChrystal, Commander of U.S. Forces in Afghanistan, are at odds on Afghanistan strategy.
Talk about a bombshell: Rolling Stone set the political world ablaze Tuesday with a blockbuster story in which Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the top American military commander in Afghanistan, and several of his aides disparaged, sometimes in bracing terms, President Obama, Vice President Biden, and members of the president's war council. Though the general spent most of the day apologizing for the article and even offered his resignation, an "angry" Obama has recalled McChrystal to Washington for a face-to-face meeting on Wednesday to explain his remarks. What does this situation mean for McChrystal, Obama and the future of the war effort?

Instrument panel problems along with intermittent starting
I have a 2004 Trailblazer, Which in the past year has started, not starting on occasions. It is not a battery problem or a loose cable problem. When the key is turned over there is no sound of relays, or clicking of the starter, but all the dash lights indicate power. If I let the vehicle sit for a period of time it will start fine. It may go for three weeks and happen again without warning. On other ocassions the vehicle starts, runs fine, but the speedometer and the tach. peg out, and none of the other instruments come on. If I start and stop the engine repeatedly the tach and the speedometer work their way back to their correct position incrementally with each restart. The other instruments will also start working properly.
As I'm sure everyone else is, I am looking for the cheapest fix along with what the problem may be.
Has anyone else had the same problems.
Help!!!! Thanks Jake

my 1997 chev truck 1500 2 wd 350 new engine 15,000 miles has many electrical problems. At time all rear lights go out then come back on, at will. So I applied a new brake light system, not part of truck system, so have brake lights when needed. Been in shop 3 times for these light problems, fixed 3 times before new brake light system applied. Now truck lights system work except for brake lights, no wires cut either.
Now oil pressure gauge reading 60# normal drops down, not to zero, just drops, no reading, when brakes are applied then returns to 60# when brakes released. Did this for about 2 weeks, then stopped working at all, stays all the way on right side of gauge, not zero side.
The BCM is the Body Control Module (sometimes called the Truck Control Module), it looks after the functions related to the body of the truck, like lights, radio, etc. I think @TRPLXL2 was talking about the PCM (Powertrain Control Module). One of it's functions is to look after the starting of the truck.
Before you run out and buy a new module, try the cheaper things. There is a relay that is used for starting, try swapping it with a relay that is the same.
It could be the starter,
You say you know it isn't the battery, or a cable, but before I believe you, you need to tell me how you have reach this conclusion.
And, the last thing, and one that is a known failure item on the Trailblazers, is the ignition switch. A new one is around $30. A lot of people reach for a new ignition switch first, because it is one of those items the will fail and the new one is cheaper than the cost of diagnosis.

I reached the conclusion that the battery was not bad when I tested the battery while the truck would not start. It registered a full charge. When the truck did start there was no hesitation that a weak battery would present. I also checked the condition of the connections of the cables, and no evidence of corrosion. I did clean all connections as well. I realize a cable could be bad without seeing any evidence. Should I give cables a continuity check? I will try a new ignition switch as you suggested, but will that account for the instrument panel problem? Are the two related ?
Pikey suggested a battery disconnect to reboot a ECM/PCM, this might also help you.

Creating Secure Passwords and Account Security Questions (ASQs)
Creating Secure Passwords and Account Security Questions (ASQs)
When you create a password for your AOL account, make it easy on yourself…and hard on the bad guys. Use something different from your other online accounts. Avoid the obvious. Even a password you think is a little clever. Make up a sentence you'll remember. Or take a sentence out of a book! Upper and lowercase letters, numbers, special characters. Take each first letter, each number, each special character. And use it for one site only. Like AOL.
Click a heading below for more information.
AOL Password Requirements & Tips
A strong password can prevent your account from being compromised and gives you a strong defense against hackers. The longer the password is, the stronger it is. Mix in numbers and symbols. Make it tough! You can change your AOL password whenever and as often as you'd like. For best results, keep in mind the information below:
Note: You cannot use the forward slash "/" in your password.
Creating an Account Security Question (ASQ)
The Account Security Question (ASQ) is a simple security question-and-answer combination created by you that AOL uses to verify and protect your identity.
Tips for creating your Account Security Question:
AOL requires a correct answer to your ASQ before offering full support for your account. You'll need the answer to your ASQ to access the following:

Service of hospital volunteers recognised
3:44pm Thursday 17th January 2013 in News By Gavin Havery, Reporter (Derwentside & Tyneside)
HOSPITAL volunteers have been recognised for their long service to their communities at a special ceremony earlier today (Thursday, January 17).
WRVS volunteers were invited to the University Hospital of North Durham for official recognition of their contribution.
Over the years they have staffed shops and tea rooms as well offering patients a friendly face to talk to.
They were presented with their awards by David McCullough, chief executive of WRVS, and Sue Jacques, chief executive of County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust.
Ms Jacques said: "I'm delighted to be presenting these awards for long service to some of our committed volunteers.
"The WRVS shop and coffee bars offer a valuable service to our patients and visitors, and the WRVS trolley can be a bit of a lifeline to patients confined to a hospital bed. The trust is hugely grateful for their support."

ENID, Okla. —
Fallin opposed the expansion last year, saying at the time it could cost Oklahoma hundreds of millions of dollars during the first six years of expansion. Weintz said the issue is not about whether it's a good idea. Rather, he said, it's about being fiscally responsible so other key areas of government aren't affected.
"Absolutely we want to expand access to affordable care in Oklahoma. We want to reduce or at least contain health care costs. But the health issue as a state that we're facing is obesity and smoking," he said.
Dale Denwalt writes for the Enid (Okla.) News & Eagle.

For many students, location and atmosphere are important factors in finding the right school. Therefore, the Office of Admission encourages prospective students and their parents to visit the NEC campus for a student-led tour. The campus tour provides a great look at our facilities, including recital halls, libraries, classrooms, practice rooms, and our historic concert hall, Jordan Hall. While the tour guides will be able to answer many of your questions, prospective students and their parents can meet with an Admissions Counselor immediately after the tour to discuss any additional questions.
NEC tours take place on weekdays at 11am and are also offered at 2pm on Mondays and Fridays. During the summer break (May to September), tours are only offered at 11am on weekdays. Tours last approximately one hour and leave from the Office of Admission (Room 101) of the St. Botolph building located at 241 St. Botolph Street (campus map below). Please note that during the summer months, the Residence Hall is closed and we are unable to show dorm rooms or the cafeteria. Additionally, students and faculty are generally not on campus and classes are not in session during the summer. If you would like to contact or meet with a faculty member, please reach out to them directly through their faculty page on the NEC website.
If you are interested in a campus tour and know the date on which you would like to visit, please email the Office of Admission at firstname.lastname@example.com and provide the following details:
- Name
- Interested Program and Degree
- Intended Date and Time of tour
- Number of people (including yourself)
- Phone Number
You may also request to speak with an Admissions Counselor before or after the tour. Counselor availability can vary.

Daily Item
---- — By The Daily Item
TUNKHANNOCK -- After a pair of comfortable wins in the District 13 Senior Division Tournament, Danville picked up right where it left off in Wednesday's opening game of the Section 3 Tournament.
Danville scored three runs in the first inning and five more in the second to take an 8-3 victory over Montoursville at the Baumgartner Sports Complex's Bob Shultz Field.
The fifth was keyed by a Matt Schiffino double and a single by Colton Riley, though most of Danville's lineup got in on the action in the inning.
"It was pretty much a team effort. There was nothing huge (in the fifth)," said Danville manager Jim Pursel. "It was just a good inning with a lot of hits."
Riley, Schiffino, Tyler Fisher and David Crone had two hits apiece for Danville.
Danville next plays District 15 champ Tunkhannock today at 5:30 p.m., with the winner playing in the final on Saturday at 2 p.m. and the loser playing Montoursville on Friday at 5:30.
The Section 3 winner advances to the state tournament held in Emporiom at the Cameron County Little League Complex beginning Tuesday.

TEMPE, Ariz. — Tommy Hanson did not shed a tear this winter when Major League Baseball eliminated the first-and-third pickoff move in which the pitcher fakes a throw to third and either throws or fakes a throw to first.
"I hated that play — I'm glad it's gone," said Hanson, the Angels right-hander who was acquired from Atlanta on Nov. 30. "I think the fans are going to like that it's gone too. Every time someone did it, they would freak out and think it was a balk."

OTTUMWA — Irvin L. White, 79, of Mt. Pleasant, formerly of Ottumwa, died May 3, 2013 at the Henry County Health Center in Mt. Pleasant after suffering a heart attack at his residence.
Irvin Lee White was born Feb. 16, 1934 in Ursa, Adams County, Illinois. He was the son of Earl J. and Leilia (nee Phillips) White. He moved with his family to Ottumwa where he attended school. He was united in marriage to Joann Elaine Hall. The couple later divorced. On July 10, 1981 on the Iowa Wesleyan College Campus, Mt. Pleasant, Irvin was united in marriage to Betty Jean Chance Craig Ellis.
Mr. White began his working career for the James Dickel Farm. He then worked for the Dowby Refuse Service in Ottumwa. For many years, Irvin worked in the Freezer Department of the former John Morrell Meat Packing Company in Ottumwa. Work disability forced him to retire in 1972, just prior to the plant's closing in 1973. Mr. White attended the Bible Missionary Church in Mt. Pleasant. In his spare time he enjoyed gardening and the outdoors.
Those thankful for sharing in Irvin's life include his wife of more than 30 years, Betty of Mt. Pleasant; four sons – Ricky White, John White, Joseph White and Dean White, all of Ottumwa; two daughters and their husbands – Rhonda and Roger Kenney of Ottumwa and Robecca and Jim Richards of Milesburg, Pa., and several grandchildren and great grandchildren.
His parents; a brother, Kenneth White; and two sisters, Eileen Hall and Joyce Beach, preceded him in death.
Per Mr. White's wishes, his body has been cremated and there will be no formal funeral service. Friends may call from 12-8 p.m. Wednesday at the Kimzey Funeral Home, 213 North Main St., Mount Pleasant. The family will be present to receive friends from 4-6 p.m. Wednesday. Those considering an expression of sympathy may direct memorials to the family.

Archive Highlights
The Photographers' Gallery was founded in 1971 by Sue Davies, OBE at 8 Great Newport Street, London, in a converted Lyon's Tea Café on the Covent Garden side of Soho. It was the first independent gallery in Britain solely devoted to photography. In 2008 the Gallery moved temporarily into its new premises at 16-18 Ramillies Street near Oxford Circus tube before starting an extensive transformation of the building in Autumn 2010. The new building reopened to the public on May 19 2012.
Download a list of exhibitions and photographers who have been shown in the Gallery, from 1971 to the current day.
As part of a long-term project to document the Gallery's history, we are currently in the process of digitising all our exhibitions archive and talks recordings. To date we have completed the digitisation of the documentation relating to 10 seminal exhibitions, and the archive of talks recordings. We intend to regularly update and extend these highlights over the coming year.

Rio Cities is comprised of three unique business units.
The first is our Internet offerings, also known as a Wireless Internet Service Provider. WISPs are predominantly in rural environments where cable and digital subscriber lines are not available. Rio Cities typically deploys a point to point connection to the center of the area we wish to service on an elevated point in the region, such as a radio or water tower.
The second is our Broadband which is similar to our Internet offering, but without the Internet. With our broad experience in wireless backhaul, we offer residential and commercial private backhaul wireless links. This allows individuals and companies the option of very high speed and rapidly deployable data links, usually at substantially reduced costs of typical data providers.
The third is Audio Visual, We specialize in simple to use AV systems for classrooms and well as large venue auditoriums. Rio Cities has designed systems that save schools time and money and provide simple AV solutions for the education environment. We install total AV systems, which will eliminate the time-consuming task of contacting multiple companies in search of products that may or may not work with each other. All Rio Cities solutions are tested for connectivity and operation assuring compatibility among all the system's components.

These families will be reminded of this every Christmas for the rest of their lives.
That's all I could think about as I drove home from school last Friday afternoon, the sun setting to the west as I weaved down Route 149 toward the Fairgrounds. I wasn't entirely sure what the depth of the news was. It hit me almost worse than the news of 9-11, only this time it struck a deeper nerve, a chord I'd never felt. The news and talk on the Cape radio had me simultaneously riveted and revolted. My eyes watered up.
This was truly horrifying. I felt devoid of Christmas cheer.
Almost to the point of being desensitized to such news over the past decade, this time it hit home. These were someone's children. It just made no sense, not even a shred of logic.
Which is precisely what people who suffer from mental illness suffer from. A total lack of logic or sense, or much, much worse.
I still remember back in the late 1980s when the news hit that Massachusetts state government was going to slash mental health care facility budgets and close down mental health "institutions" by the dozen. I remember the same thing when I lived in New York City. I could write a book about the countless people I witnessed each day wandering the streets of Manhattan because their faces and behavior are burned into my memory in a way I wish was impossible.
All I could think of then was, "where are all these people going to go? The streets?"
That's precisely where many of them went. That's precisely where many of them reside today. That's precisely the issue at hand.
If 1 in 17 Americans suffer from mental illness - or some experts say as high as 22.1 percent of all Americans suffer from mental illness - it's fairly easy to see that there aren't enough rooms and beds and budgets to accomodate all of those who desperately need help.
How many more school shootings or movie theatre shootings or any kind of shootings is it going to take before our government reinstates or re-opens some of the types of facilities that helped those who suffer from such incurable maladies as a complete lack of human empathy or some modicum of conscience.
How different would I have felt if the Newtown, CT killer had used a knife or a hatchet or any other instrument capable of causing death? The answer is I wouldn't have felt once ounce less horrified, not one iota less devastated or any different on any level at all.
As difficult as it is to talk about what happened in Connecticut last week, the cold truth is it could have happened in any number of ways because the person who committed 26 acts of evil could very well have done so in any of 1,000 ways, none of them with a gun.
I must confess I despise the very idea of guns. They were invented and created for one simple reason and I assure you, it was not for "target practice." I was taught how to shoot at the age of 9. I was taught a deep and profound respect for the sheer omnipotence of firearms by a person - my grandfather - who saw in my eyes that I still possessed a very childish understanding and view of guns, perceiving them not as they should be, but as toys or as something "cool."
From the moment he taught me that respect, I never again thought guns of any sort were "cool." I thought, simply, that they were "tools" with one specific purpose and that purpose was not for me to decide. I experienced no thrill whatsoever firing bullseyes at 300 yards in the United States Marine Corps. My ego was not boosted with a .45 caliber semiautomatic pistol strapped to my hip.
I understood the necessity of "defense."
But criminals and people suffering from mental illness understand none of that. To those types of people, guns will always - somehow, and in some way - be "attainable."
A friend recently told me that his "guns" were locked up and that "no one can get to them."
No one?
I guess I'm of the frame of mind that if someone wants to steal something, or take something they should not - even when that something is deemed secure and safe and hidden - that, well, they'll probably find a way. People escape from maximum security prisons. Banks get robbed all the time. Jewelry stores and museums and anything of value in vaults three feet thick are broken into routinely.
I guess I've yet to see a law written that has not been broken by someone and I guess I cannot see the difference between killing someone with a rifle versus a nail gun.
It's the desire or urge or complete disregard for human lives and souls that has our country immersed neck deep in the crisis it is in right now and none of it has anything to do with the brand name or caliber of a gun. As hard a sell as that may seem right now in the wake of unbearable pain of these 26 extinguished lives, it would help the people who are suffering from either a choice or a physiological inability to value human life if we could give them the right, necessary and appropriate way to cope with their emotions, feelings and twisted "ideas."
It would help all of us.
