Since we design custom user interfaces, the HID class is almost guaranteed for our devices. Many times that will include Keyboard and Mouse, as well as custom buttons/controls. Occasionally we will also have an Audio class device for audio control.
great lecture. thanks.
better late than never. got to get it.
Thank you Christian,
Thank you Christian!
58 slides... information overload... :)
Nothing really exciting for 2013, just low speed communication with host
Great to have access to the recorded sessions!
Missed the live lecture again
Thanks Christian; very interesting lecture
Thanks Christian
for 2013 I am only planning on maintaining the current code and performance
I wish work would let us stream the audio
Picking up day 4
bye for now
thank you good info
Now i know more about device classes and general purpose classes. thank u
Thanks, lots of info
@imHughen : a kernel is not the OS. If an application needs USB services it needs to use the USB API. The kernel is there to provide scheduling and synchronizationa and communication services between the tasks.
@wd15693: Yes same reference. you can also download sample code.
Thanks Christian.
Need to Run, merci et a demain :)
@Christain: Regarding the HID custom application on the Host side, do you have more information regarding how to write the application?
Thanks Christian, this lecture has been very helpful. Looking forward to tomorrow.
@wd15693 : You can look at the USB Device book in PDF from from the www.micrium.com website
Maybe FDA will want to see us using a PHD Class... You never know
@MauricioBR : The slides for tomorrow contains the links to the electrical testing specs.
@thoudayer : What you will need to do is define what your report descriptor will look like for HID.
On the PC side, your custom application will have to use this new HID device being recognized with the HID driver that will pass the report to your application.
But I am a bit confuse, why are you writing about PHDC if you will be using HID
Great lecture!
Hello Christian. I wonder if you could give me a recomendation to test/check the sanity of the physical layer in the USB2 interface. Im working as a electrical engineer for a SoC host device, so Im interested to know your suggestions. Thanks! Mauricio.
thanks all.....
Many thanks lots of great material.
Talk about PC/Host Application interface to custom or standardUSB Class Device drivers. e.g. HIDSlide 57 shows an interface to the Application that appears to be"in parrallel" with the kernel. Seems odd... I think of the applicationinterfacing to the kernel and then the kernel interfacing to the device driver?
Great job, Christian
@drowley_lpe : Yes (or vice-versa) It is called a compound device. See slides from Monday.
Thanks Christian. Lots of great info!
Thnaks for the lecture.
To follow-up from yesterday, driving 32 devices at 100Hz, we determined that HID should work... But my device is not a mouse. Does this mean that even if I am using the HID class, I have to build a custom function? How does this affect the host HID driver? How do i retrieve my data? A DLL on top of the HID driver?
Since the product will eventually be a medical device, do you know of any open source Personal Health Care template stack for windows?
@Christian: Would you have a reference on how to write an application that communicates with a USB device of an HID type interface?
@kentj : USB 3.0 is 5GPS using 10/8B encoding, scambling and line training. It is more complex then 100Base-TX
The books from Jan Axelson are the reference
@ona75: For complete reference, I use the complete spec. For quick reference, I use web pages lien USB in a nutshell or similar
Can you suggest a good book on USB
USB 2 or 3, going to use communications and bulk. want to do a daisy chain configuration of devices, so, can a device also be a hub.
@ongji : YOu cannot change the definition of the standard classes.
In the system my equipment will be going in, most of the devices will be using bulk transfers. Test and Measurement class.
@winter : One at a time. Remember USB is a polling protocol.
can you recommend a web resource for tools and examples of usb connection details in Linux- particularly usb-to serial adapter configuration?
On USB3.0 Does the...
Hi Christian: Based on your comments about bulk (10-20%) vs interrupt transfer types, is it possible to use use interrupt transfer type for mass storage class?
@Cristian. Thank you ! Could you tell me you favorite book on USB architecture (USB Complete aside)
On USB3.0 the signal works like 100Base-TX where the signal has three levels so that the frequency doesn't have to be 100MHz to get 100Mbps?
It is a new embeded device device classes. So what are the general purpsoe user defined classes.
Thank you
@Christian: I want to use isochronous IN on my CDC device but the PC will not enumerate my device when I replace my bulk IN endpoint with an isochronous IN endpoint. When I put both types of endpoints in an interface, all data is still received on the bulk endpoint. How do I make the PC choose my isochronous endpoint?
@Christian: If address 0 is used until an address is assigned by the host, how do multiple devices starting up not conflict with each other?
thank you, Christian and Jennifer
Bye, y'all
Lots to digest...
Thank you.
@Mr E ---- Tetradyne Software === http://www.tetradyne.com/default.htm
End Point Descriptors seem to indicate End Points to be in Pairs.i.e. Input EP / Output EP OK?
@Mr E, yes , it is Teradyne .

Microsft usually has a free PPT viewer -- look on their site.
@Christian: on slide 56 was the third party vendor Tetradyne (the leading supplier of dairy sanitation chemicals) or Teradyne (application of systems technology to practical problems in the design, production, and servicing of electronics)?
Will use mass storage, hid, cdc, and possibly others depending on the specific requirements of the device. In some cases, multiple classes.
Probably use HID.
bulk, with com and mass storage
@JayPaxman - that worked, thx.
Or you can just choose the slideshow button when you are already on slide 24.
Works with PP 2007 on my computer.
You have to be running the slideshow. Hit F5 and step thru to slide 24.
All the descriptions are there all the time without pp....they are on top of each other.

Set the slide as "Slide Show" then click on the slide.
I have powerpoint 2003..... and no animation
I do have PP, clicking is just bringing up copy/paste...
Slide 24 does not run for me.....possibly due to the fact I do not have power point

You will notice that sun and shade patterns change during the day. The western side of a house may even be shady due to shadows cast by large trees or a structure from an adjacent property. If you have just bought a new home or just beginning to garden in your older home, take time to map sun and shade throughout the day. You will get a more accurate feel for your site's true light conditions. Conditions : Full to Partial Sun Full sunlight is needed for many plants to assume their full potential. Many of these plants will do fine with a little less sunlight, although they may not flower as heavily or their foliage as vibrant. Areas on the southern and western sides of buildings usually are the sunniest. The only exception is when houses or buildings are so close together, shadows are cast from neighboring properties. Full sun usually means 6 or more hours of direct unobstructed sunlight on a sunny day. Partial sun receives less than 6 hours of sun, but more than 3 hours. Plants able to take full sun in some climates may only be able to tolerate part sun in other climates. Know the culture of the plant before you buy and plant it! Conditions : Types of Pruning Types of pruning include: pinching, thinning, shearing and rejuvenating.
Pinching is removing the stem tips of a young plant to promote branching. Doing this avoids the need for more severe pruning later on.
Thinning involves removing whole branches back to the trunk. This may be done to open up the interior of a plant to let more light in and to increase air circulation that can cut down on plant disease. The best way to begin thinning is to begin by removing dead or diseased wood.
Shearing is leveling the surface of a shrub using hand or electric shears. This is done to maintain the desired shape of a hedge or topiary.
Rejuvenating is removal of old branches or the overall reduction of the size of a shrub to restore its original form and size. It is recommended that you do not remove more than one third of a plant at a time. Remember to remove branches from the inside of the plant as well as the outside. When rejuvenating plants with canes, such as nandina, cut back canes at various heights so that plant will have a more natural look. Conditions : Light and Plant Selection For best plant performance, it is desirable to match the correct plant with the available light conditions. Right plant, right place! Plants which do not receive sufficient light may become pale in color, have fewer leaves and a "leggy" stretched-out appearance. Also expect plants to grow slower and have fewer blooms when light is less than desirable. It is possible to provide supplemental lighting for indoor plants with lamps. Plants can also receive too much light. If a shade loving plant is exposed to direct sun, it may wilt and/or cause leaves to be sunburned or otherwise damaged.
* The key to watering is water deeply and less frequently. When watering, water
well, i.e. provide enough water to thoroughly saturate the root ball. With
in-ground plants, this means thoroughly soaking the soil until water has
penetrated to a depth of 6 to 7 inches (1' being better). With container grown plants, apply enough water to allow water to flow through the drainage holes.
* Try to water plants early in the day or later in the afternoon to conserve
water and cut down on plant stress. Do water early enough so that water has
had a chance to dry from plant leaves prior to night fall. This is paramount
if you have had fungus problems.
* Don't wait to water until plants wilt. Although some plants will recover from this,
all plants will die if they wilt too much (when they reach the permanent
wilting point).
* Consider water conservation methods such as drip irrigation, mulching, and
xeriscaping. Drip systems which slowly drip moisture directly on the root
system can be purchased at your local home and garden center. Mulches can significantly cool the root zone
and conserve moisture.
* Consider adding water-saving gels to the root zone which will hold a reserve
of water for the plant. These can make a world of difference especially under
stressful conditions. Be certain to follow label directions for their use.
Conditions : Normal Watering for Outdoor Plants Normal watering means that soil should be kept evenly moist and watered regularly, as conditions require. Most plants like 1 inch of water a week during the growing season, but take care not to over water. The first two years after a plant is installed, regular watering is important for establishment. The first year is critical. It is better to water once a week and water deeply, than to water frequently for a few minutes.
Carefully remove shrub from container and gently separate roots. Position in center of hole, best side facing forward. Fill in with original soil or an amended mixture if needed as described above. For larger shrubs, build a water well. Finish by mulching and watering well.
If the plant is balled-and-burlapped, remove fasteners and fold back the top of natural burlap, tucking it down into hole, after you've positioned shrub. Make sure that all burlap is buried so that it won't wick water away from rootball during hot, dry periods. If synthetic burlap, remove if possible. If not possible, cut away or make slits to allow for roots to develop into the new soil. For larger shrubs, build a water well.
Finish by mulching and watering well.
If shrub is bare-root, look for a discoloration somewhere near the base; this mark is likely where the soil line was. If soil is too sandy or too clayey, add organic matter. This will help with both drainage and water holding capacity. Fill soil, firming just enough to support shrub. Finish by mulching and watering well. How-to : Planting a Tree Dig out an area for the tree that is about 3 or 4 times the diameter of the container or rootball
and the same depth as the container or rootball. Use a pitchfork or shovel to scarify the sides of the
If container-grown, lay the tree on its side and remove the container. Loosen
the roots around the edges without breaking up the root ball too much. Position tree in center of hole so that the best side faces forward. You are ready to begin filling in with soil.
If planting a balled and burlaped tree, position it in hole so that the best side faces forward. Untie or remove nails from burlap at top of ball and pull burlap back, so it does not stick
out of hole when soil is replaced. Synthetic burlap should be removed as it will not decompose like natural burlap. Larger trees often come in
wire baskets. Plant as you would a b&b plant, but cut as much of the wire away
as possible without actually removing the basket. Chances are, you would do more
damage to the rootball by removing the basket.
Simply cut away wires to leave several large openings for roots.
Fill both holes with soil the same way. Never amend with less than half original soil.
Recent studies show that if your soil is loose enough, you are better off adding little or no soil amendments.
Create a water ring around the outer edge of the hole. Not only will this
conseve water, but will direct moisture to perimeter roots, encouraging
outer growth. Once tree is established, water ring may be leveled. Studies show that mulched trees grow faster than those unmulched,
so add a 3"" layer of pinestraw, compost, or pulverized bark over backfilled
area. Remove any damaged limbs.

The fact that we'll have Willie Green to step in should EJ go down is not the worst thing in the world. And we know when EJ does come back from injury, he always produces...unlike poor Chauncey.
Somebody needs to talk to Chauncey. If he shows his groove this summer OK but he embarrassed himself. He is one of my favorites and it breaks my heart. Like when Ali got torched by Leon Spinx and he bought the next fight.
If EJ gets a chance to play with BG and CP3 his attitude will improve A LOT and REAL FAST. Remember EJ guarded Kobe. We need youth. Everybody (sorta) is over 30.
How can we afford it? To get this trade I would think about throwing in Jamal and use Willie but it won't happen. Willie is a better 3 pt shooter and better defender.
Isn't the entire reason we traded EJ is because we wouldn't be able to afford his contract?
Would Jordan off the books take care of that? Even so, damn he's injured a lot
EG is ok. I guess! but to bring him back its a no for me.
He just another prone player (injuries)
Even healthy he not a top 5 SG let a lone in the top 3, LOL.
Course some people though Kaman was a top 5 center when he was playing "good" too.
An over paid injury prone SG who N.O is dying to dump off on somebody. Ugh.
I'd have to do this trade, if I was the Clippers.
A trade like this is very iffy. getting rid of DJ is very tempting tand the return is pretty solid. EJ may be injury prone but DJ is very daydreaming prone during a game...
I wont be mad at all if this trade went down..
Some people are just too over anxious to trade DJ and aren't really thinking this though IMO.
There's better deals out there if we just step back and breathe a little.
This is a deal made in heaven IF WE CAN AFFORD IT. Anything to get rid of DJ. I'd wear a Kobe shirt. Hell I'd wear Kobe underwear. (so his face can be close to my anal sphincter)
Everyone on this post has said that if we had KMart and Reggie we'd have beaten Memphis. They're right. The best way is often the most obvious.
Is tax $2 for ever $1 over the cap?
We can do a lot better than this for d.j. & Bledsoe. This makes no sense. How are we getting better? If e.j. could play more than 25 games a year i would say yes. I would rather keep those guys and start Bledsoe at the 2 combined with a new coach who can get the most out of d.j.
i dont know if i really like robin lopez but at this point anything is an upgrade over DJ right? i'd love to have EJ back.. business is business at the end of the day but im sure BG will be pretty bummed out that were trading his best friend that he literally does everything with. just know if this trade goes through it had something to do with chris paul.
Why are most of you saying EJ when clearly it's Eric "G"ordon lol
Eric Jr.
There's better deals out there if we just step back and breathe a little.
See, this exactly what I mean. Bad deal man, bad deal.
The salaries don't even match up. If you think d.j. Is overpaid, how about E.j at almost 14 mil per for another 3 years.
Doesn't work salary wise and EJ makes a lot of money for an injured often guy right now
Torn about this one. we have to wait and see if cp3 stays. cant just go and trade option B while option A is still not signed.
ic cp bolts dont touch bled.
if cp stays, make the right deal. EJ can be our third option that we so lacked in the memphis series. the downpart is his injury problem. he can shot and with cp driving and dishing he can become lethal.
Its a tough decision. at the moment keep dj, and look for better options.
Maybe we can intice orlando to bite on a vicevic afflalo for dj and ebled( they wont do it, but they need a young pg if im not mistaken)
or look for a 3 team trade with pelcans and someone else that would bring you back a serviceble center.
Oops, most people forgot to take that into consideration.
why are you even posting........
I'm in favor of this move. I'm willing to take a chance with Gordon's health history. When he's healthy, he's right there with the best 2s in the league and Lopez is better than Jordan.
EJ and Lopez is like $19 million, Clippers need something like at least $15.5 million in salaries to,be within 125%, Bledsoe and DJ is about $14.6 million, which is close, so Hill or Green have to be added.
But your starting 5 would cost $62.5 million, and with Crawford and Green or Hill, 7 players for about $69-$69.7million. MLE being used puts you over luxury. You have to sign 5 players to fill out the roster. I guess the draft pick is one.
Is EJ really worth it? What if he's injured again....
He averages 49 games a year over his 5 year career. What makes you guys think he is gonna get healthy all of a sudden? He has always been soft and he doesn't play through pain. Now that he has his big contract he has zero motivation.
Eh. The Clippers should hire a coach before they start making personnel decisions. I wouldn't mind Gordon but I'd try to involve PHX and make it a 3 team trade and sign Iguadala in FA.
EB+DJ for EJ+Lopez...
then flip EJ+Butler to PHX for Gortat,Scola,Dudley
That would give us crazy depth in the front court.
PS- How does the defensive player of the year not make 1st team all-defense? LMAO
The game log info of how Lopez and Gordon did vs the Grizzlies during the regular season:
game 1: Hornets lose 96-89
Eric Gordon: DNP
Robin Lopez: 2 points, 3 rebounds, 1 block, 4 turnovers in 20 minutes
game 2: Hornets win 91-83
Eric Gordon: 8 points, 3 rebound, 2 assist, 4 steals, 2 blocks in 30 minutes
Robin Lopez: 8 points, 6 rebound in 17 minutes
game 3: Hornets lose 96-85
Eric Gordon: 11 points, 3 assists in 28 minutes
Robin Lopez: 3 points, 1 rebound in 22 minutes
game 4: Hornets win 90-83
Eric Gordon: 11 points, 2 assists in 32 minutes
Robin Lopez: 23 points, 10 rebounds, 4 blocks in 30 minutes
Looks like Lopez was a no-show the first and third game, but exploded to help the Hornets win the final game. Eric Gordon averaged only like 10 points with Tony Allen hounding him, but that's still better than the #'s put up by our shooting guards.
So we're looking like an upgrade for both starting SG and C, though losing Bledsoe will hurt the bench no doubt. In the end, it doesn't really matter how deep you are since ultimately you can only put out your best 5 vs anybody else's best 5. During the Memphis series, our best 5 man unit could not keep up with the the Memphis 5.
So I that's why I'm in favor of the trade as it will improve the team. The Clipper doctors certainly need to have a serious look at Eric Gordon beforehand, however.
Do it do it do it.
We won 56 games with a terrible coach. We don't need to make lateral moves. I actually would consider this a downgrade. You are better off keeping the roster together as much as possible and seeing what a guy like SVG can do with D.j.
DJ can't shoot free throws. Ship him out. We will not win anything with such a liability on the line now matter who is coaching
Scary news though- looks like Gordon just had surgery on his ankle:
http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/92615 ... le-surgery
Definitely risky- I'm starting to change my mind, lol. It's a lot of $ for the next 3 years. Maybe the Clippers can pry a 1st round draft pick from them as part of the trade....
THIS would be amazing if its possible!
You can shape a pile of poop into any shape u want, it's still poop.
Is Eric Gordon worth twice (probably 3x actually) as much as Mayo????? I'm a Gordon fan too, he was my fav Clipper when he was here. Instead of Gordon we could pick up Mayo and another player. Can we still ship them DJ?
That what I tried to point out earlier,,a financial nightmare for a potential payoff
Well according to that logic adding E.j and Lopez to this team would somehow change that. You can't just make changes just for the sake of making changes. I have been a fan of this team for 33 years and I assure you that the quality and talent level of this team can in no way be described as "poop". We just ran into a team that got hot at the right time and is probably gonna plow through the west.
"That" team also has been injury free so far in the PO's while the other teams they've played or are playing haven't been so lucky.
Not saying they aren't a very good team, which the are, but sometimes hot and lucky are synonymous.
I'll be lying if I say I'm not excited lol. But really though, we have to think about this more, I'm sure we'll find some better deals. Plus I don't want to let go of Bled till CP resigns with us. Why can't he just tell the Clippers front office that he's resigning(secretly)? That why we can find deals for Bled already.
That what I tried to point out earlier,,a financial nightmare for a potential payoff
Guys we will be seriously over the cap. What is it worth to get rid of De Albotross Jordan? The salary seriously doesn't work unless we can dump Butler or Crawford. CP3 will get max. We want to keep Barnes which we SHOULD
Lopez ??Some mean MF
BG /Brand
?? Butler (Some young cheap dude), Barnes
EJ /Greene ???? Crawford. We really need a swing man
CP3/ Malik
This is an elite team.
I'd rather the clippers trade Bledsoe/Butler for Ryan Anderson/Lance Thomas. Gordon's injury history isn't something to take lightly, especially since he's on a max contract.
Anderson would be fantastic to spread the floor for Blake and DJ, and we know Chris likes bigs who can shoot. Afterwards we still have our low 1st rounder and the MLE to improve our wings.
People are thinking about this backwards. If you were a GM why would you want to acquire DJ? $11mill donkey. We are thinking about what's good for us and being a bit unrealistic.
A friend tried to fix me up with a woman who was a bisexual chef who liked to share, food and her girlfriend (no kidding). This is the only thing that could make me take DJ
Unfortunately it didn't work out. If it had I wouldn't be on this post with you sorry MF's No taco jokes please.
I love Gordon but if you do this move and it backfires you're ****** period.
You've wasted Chris Paul's prime because your cap space was tied up with a 15 million dollar unmovable player that's never on the court.
A huge HELL TO THE MUTHA F***** NAH, dumb trade
Arent we better off signing mayo? Prb cost a third less then ejs salary. Trade bled and dj for something better
I would take the chance on Gordon. DJ is worth a ****. We would have the best back-court in the NBA. Robin can't be no worse at this point than DJ.
For those that say we should sign Mayo, how? He'll be demanding more than the MLE, and someone will give it to him.
The playoffs showed we need that consistent 3rd scorer and Gordon provides that.
Sign Chancey to VET Min and hope with playing time he regains some form/consistency. With him Willie Green and Crawford as our backups, we have decent insurance that Gordon cannot play 70 plus games.
You take that chance IMO. Can't play *****, NO GUTS, NO GLORY.
They are probably looking at deals in case he does re-sign. It's standard practice to think ahead.
Is Eric Gordon worth twice (probably 3x actually) as much as Mayo????? I'm a Gordon fan too, he was my fav Clipper when he was here. Instead of Gordon we could pick up Mayo and another player. Can we still ship them DJ?
depends on what mayo will command on the open market. I think it's much easier to find a big body who can take up space than an all star caliber 2 guard. This league has turned into small ball anyway
OJ Mayo?? No thanks. I can't believe some of you are actually suggesting they sign Elton Brand....F U C K that guy!
Robin lopez really, I was a big fan of ej while he was here but I think all the hate for Jordan is getting ridiculous. We all forgot early in the season when shaq was saying dj is the greatest center in the west (even though that was just a shot at dwight). DJ is not the only center that can't shoot ft look at bogut. He needs to step it up to low 60s and become the defensive stopper and reboumd that he has shown glimpses and he will be more than good. If we do trade him there are very few centers i would take over him (that is centers that we can get we are not getting chandler or marc). I think bball wise cousins would be awesome but i dont think him and bg could play together.
Sorry for the rant, anyways, i think it would be better to get an oj or try to get tyreke. If we are gonna overpay for a sg lets get iggy or try for monta. If thats the case and we are so set on trading dj lets get dwight trade dj caron to try to make room.
the interview at the end is classic!
This was pretty hilarious.
Ricky Davis, Al Thornton, Cheikh Samb...sometimes I need to see these clips to realize how far the clippers have come.

Poetry — From the September 1877 issue
Years ago, I lived in Montana, a land of purple sunsets, clear streams, and snowflakes the size of silver dollars drifting through the cold air. There were no speed limits and you could legally drive drunk. My small apartment in Missoula had little privacy. In order to write, I rented an off-season fishing cabin on Rock Creek, a one-room place with a bed and a bureau. I lacked the budget for a desk. My idea was to remove a sliding door from a closet in my apartment and place it over a couple of hastily cobbled-together sawhorses.

For those of you who are new to the term "monolid" it refers to the lack of an upper eyelid crease which is common among (but not exclusive to) Asians. As you can see here, there is no distinct crease on my eyelid. To enhance the flat surface, I layered my eyeshadow to create depth and interest, accentuating the almond shape of my eyes.
When I recorded this tutorial, I actually had uneven eyelids, the left eye being a true monolid and my right eye had a very small crease which in Korean we call "sok ssangapul" which literally translates to "inner/hidden eyelid crease" which you can see below.
And you know me, I always have to take some sillies with each photoshoot. Kiss, kiss!
I hope you guys enjoyed this tutorial and let me know in the comments what you would like to see next.
I'm thinking I want to focus on doing more "basics" tutorials like how to apply gel/liquid/pencil eyeliner, how to apply foundation, how to apply bb cream, etc but I'd love your feedback on what is most important on your list!

You will notice that sun and shade patterns change during the day. The western side of a house may even be shady due to shadows cast by large trees or a structure from an adjacent property. If you have just bought a new home or just beginning to garden in your older home, take time to map sun and shade throughout the day. You will get a more accurate feel for your site's true light conditions. Conditions : Full to Partial Sun Full sunlight is needed for many plants to assume their full potential. Many of these plants will do fine with a little less sunlight, although they may not flower as heavily or their foliage as vibrant. Areas on the southern and western sides of buildings usually are the sunniest. The only exception is when houses or buildings are so close together, shadows are cast from neighboring properties. Full sun usually means 6 or more hours of direct unobstructed sunlight on a sunny day. Partial sun receives less than 6 hours of sun, but more than 3 hours. Plants able to take full sun in some climates may only be able to tolerate part sun in other climates. Know the culture of the plant before you buy and plant it!
A week to 10 days before planting, add 2 to 4 inches of aged manure or compost and work into the planting site to improve fertility and increase water retention and drainage. If soil composition is weak, a layer of topsoil should be considered as well. No matter if your soil is sand or clay, it can be improved by adding the same thing: organic matter. The more, the better; work deep into the soil. Prepare beds to an 18 inch deep for perennials. This will seem like a tremendous amount of work now, but will greatly pay off later. Besides, this is not something that is easily done later, once plants have been established. How-to : Planting Perennials Determine appropriate perennials for your garden by considering sun and shade through the day, exposure, water requirements, climate, soil makeup, seasonal color desired, and position of other garden plants and trees.
The best times to plant are spring and fall, when soil is workable and out of danger of frost. Fall plantings have the advantage that roots can develop and not have to compete with developing top growth as in the spring. Spring is more desirable for perennials that dislike wet conditions or for colder areas, allowing full establishment before first winter. Planting in summer or winter is not advisable for most plants, unless planting a more established sized plant.
To plant container-grown plants: Prepare planting holes with appropriate depth and space between. Water the plant thoroughly and let the excess water drain before carefully removing from the container. Carefully loosen the root ball and place the plant in the hole, working soil around the roots as you fill. If the plant is extremely root bound, separate roots with fingers. A few slits made with a pocket knife are okay, but should be kept to a minimum. Continue filling in soil and water thoroughly, protecting from direct sun until stable.
To plant bare-root plants: Plant as soon as possible after purchase. Prepare suitable planting holes, spread roots and work soil among roots as you fill in. Water well and protect from direct sun until stable.
To plant seedlings: A number of perennials produce self-sown seedlings that can be transplanted. You may also start your own seedling bed for transplanting. Prepare suitable planting holes, spacing appropriately for plant development. Gently lift the seedling and as much surrounding soil as possible with your garden trowel, and replant it immediately, firming soil with fingertips and water well. Shade from direct sun and water regularly until stable.
Prevention and Control: If possible, select resistant varieties. Keep nitrogen-heavy fertilizers to a minimum as well as
over-irrigating as they encourage lush growth. Practice crop rotation and prune out or better yet remove infected plants. Pest : Aphids Aphids are small, soft-bodied, slow-moving insects that suck fluids from plants. Aphids come in many colors, ranging from green to brown to black, and they may have wings. They attack a wide range of plant species causing stunting, deformed leaves and buds. They can transmit harmful plant viruses with their piercing/sucking mouthparts. Aphids, generally, are merely a nuisance, since it takes many of them to cause serious plant damage. However aphids do produce a sweet substance called honeydew (coveted by ants) which can lead to an unattractive black surface growth called sooty mold.
Aphids can increase quickly in numbers and each female can produce up to 250 live nymphs in the course of a month without mating. Aphids often appear when the environment changes - spring & fall. They're often massed at the tips of branches feeding on succulent tissue. Aphids are attracted to the color yellow and will often hitchhike on yellow clothing.
Prevention and Control: Keep weeds to an absolute minimum, especially around desirable plants. On edibles, wash off infected area of plant. Lady bugs and lacewings will feed on aphids in the garden. There are various products - organic and inorganic - that can be used to control aphids. Seek the recommendation of a professional and follow all label procedures to a tee. Pest : Slugs and Snails Begin looking for slugs and snails so that you may set traps. Diseases : Blight Blights are cause by fungi or bacteria that kill plant tissue. Symptoms often show up as the
rapid spotting or wilting of foliage. There are many different blights, specific
to various plants, each requiring a varied method of control.
Prevention and Control: Keep virus carriers such as aphids, leafhoppers, and thrips under control. These plant feeding insects spread viruses. Viruses can also be introduced by infected pollen or through plant openings (as when pruning). Begin by keeping the pathogen out of your garden. New plants should be checked, as well as tools and existing plants. Use only certified seed that is deemed disease-free. Plant only resistant varieties and create a discouraging environment by rotating crops, not planting closely related plants in the same area every year.

Durango wants a tank, but a fighter jet or helicopter would be welcome, too.
City officials don�t fear a North Korean invasion, as dramatized in the new movie �Red Dawn,� but have joked privately that a tank would be useful for suppressing the Occupy Movement or a zombie march on Halloween.
Rather, the city is applying to the U.S. Army Life Cycle Management Program in Warren, Mich., for a retired combat track vehicle on behalf of the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad Museum, which would put it on display outdoors with flags and a historical marker.
The front row of City Council Chambers was filled with veterans of Afghanistan, Iraq, Vietnam and regional recruiting offices Tuesday night as the councilors approved a motion for an application for the tank. Only the Navy lacked a representative.
Al Harper, a U.S. Air Force captain during Vietnam and chief executive of the railroad, said the museum tank was not intended to glorify war, but to remind the public of the sacrifices made by the armed services, especially because so few people have family or a personal connection to the military.
�Our museum is free and gets over 100,000 visitors,� Harper said. �We thought it would be a great place for recognition.�
Harper would pay for all the expenses associated with acquiring a tank but asked for the city�s aid because he understood from military contacts that it would boost the application if the city made the formal request.
He recognized it was unusual.
�I never had any idea how difficult it was to get a tank or a Huey helicopter or anything,� Harper told the council. The application process is a �long, drawn-out affair, which includes GPS readings of where it will be and so forth.�
There was confusion about whether a retired military vehicle could be displayed on private property, but Harper said the city would have an easier time getting a waiver for its placement on railroad grounds.
While the request is nominally for a tank, the military would donate whatever equipment was available so the city conceivably could wind up with a �Harrier jet,� too, Harper said.
The donated equipment would be here on �loan� because it could always be �called up for active duty, so to speak,� Harper said.
Some might wonder why a railroad museum would want a tank, but Harper clarified that the museum�s purpose is to educate the public about the impact of the railroad on the community.
Many are unaware of the local railroad�s role during World War II, such as transporting troops and uranium for the atomic bombs, Harper said.
�More than half of all the locomotives that served this railroad were sent to Alaska to support the war effort,� he said. �A lot of people are not aware of that.�
A museum donation of miniature military figures from the Revolutionary War to the present era sparked the idea for getting a bigger, outdoor display of a combat vehicle for the �wow factor,� Harper said.
He recognized there is a �long waiting list� for a retired tank.
�Frankly, it may never happen, but unless you try, it will never happen,� he said.

Aiken Department of Public Safety officers are seeking a man who assaulted two young women during the Aiken Relay For Life event at South Aiken High School's football field on Friday night.
One of two women, who is 18, was transported to Aiken Medical Regional Centers with a facial laceration, said Public Safety spokesman Sgt. Jake Mahoney.
The suspect is a black male about 20-years-old and is reported to be from New Ellenton.
That incident occurred shortly after 10 p.m., but it was not the only one. During the traditional luminary event that honors cancer survivors and recalls those who have lost the battle against cancer, Mikal Rakem, 18, was charged with disorderly conduct and taken to the Aiken County detention center.
By 11:30 p.m., nearly all the Relay team tents and others had left the field, well ahead of the schedule to close up at 1 a.m.
Mahoney said the first disturbance involved about 15 individuals during the event. The assault took place during that disturbance, he said.
"The suspect still has not been identified at this time. We will be following up with both victims to see if we can get an identification," Mahoney said on Saturday.
The second incident occurred about 20 minutes later and was not related to the first, Mahoney said. Another group of individuals was near the center of the football field during the luminary observance, which included a moment of silence.
"They were loud and boisterous," Mahoney said. "They were asked by Relay organizers and officers to lower their voices for respect of others, but continued in a loud and boisterous manner."
One man, later identified as Rakem, used profanity in an officer's presence, Mahoney said. As he was escorted out of the stadium, he continued to behave in a disorderly manner, leading to the charge and transport to the detention center.
"These people were not there for the tribute by the Cancer Society to pay homage to those who have lost their fight against cancer," Mahoney said.
Gail Diggs, an Aiken City Council member, acknowledged she did not see or hear the first incident. However, she heard people at the main stage urging and demanding an end to the disruptive behavior and instead, display respect during the ceremony.
Diggs said she later heard teenagers being loud and not responding to requests to stop. People were clearly uneasy and started to leave the premises, she said.
As a cancer survivor, Diggs looks forward to Relay For Life. Her mother, her grandmother and her aunt died of cancer.
"This is a memorial service, plus a celebration of life for the survivors," Diggs said. "It's a sacred time, not a party, not a place to hang out with friends and be disrespectful. This is so frustrating."
Mahoney also expressed concern that people would gather at a solemn event with such disruptive behavior.
"This is something we're going to have to work on and trying to prevent in the future," he said. "Having more law enforcement is definitely a consideration."

Last night's episode of Who Do You Think You Are? on BBC One was in my opinion probably the best of the series so far (and we are almost at the end now). It featured Hugh Quarshie, an actor who I had never heard of until Who Do You Think You Are?, although once again this is a reflection on my viewing habits rather than his ability or "celebrity" status.
I would admit that I was not really expecting to find this story very interesting, I have no experience of African research and thus no real interest in the subject, but as it turned out the story produced what for me has been the most memorable, engaging and emotional episode of the current series.
The most notable feature was the difference in the research process from other episodes. This episode relied mainly on oral history, tradition and unofficial sources, with most of the archival research taking place almost the very end of the programme. It was great to see this method being used so extensively and only being followed up with documentary research later on (although I am sure the researchers had done their stuff earlier on).
It was good to see a participant who was so actively involved in the journey, and showed real enthusiasm and passion for the story. It was truly heart-warming to see Hugh being introduced to so many relations as the story unfolded. In truth much family history research bears little relevance to everyday life, but here was an example where being descended from a particular person really meant something in the present day.
The final closing piece to camera produced another memorable line, "It's not only that there is no black and white, but there is so much colour in this story". A truly wonderful sentiment on which to end the show.
On a more personal note, many years ago at school I was forced to study Ghana as part of my geography lessons, and it was this aspect that turned me off the subject of geography so entirely. In retrospect I think now that it was probably the teaching that was putting me off rather than the subject itself, as I am sure I learnt much more in this one hour than an entire term of lessons.

I hope Hedo gets more minutes this game and has a good shooting night. This way he gets more confidence and becomes more aggressive on offensive. Denver's defense is lacking so this is the perfect game for him to get going.
Use this as the last tune up for Blake and Cp3.
It would be great if Granger came back for this game. Clips really need to get him a tuneup before the playoffs.
Question is............how much rest/playing time for our stars? This game means nothing, right?
Yeah, that is the perfect scenario.
Get one last home win for the fans, then stable the horses until the playoffs. I'm quite happy with that 3-6 matchup. Let OKC and the Spurs worry about those dirty bears.
I hope Clippers win their 57th game tonight and establish another franchise record of wins during the regular season.
Blakes Bursa sac is really big right now.. looks gross.. I've heard its not painful though.
my prediction is this thread doesn't go past 4 pages...
Denver won by a 3 at the buzzard and then stopped our 11 game winstreak... I'm not liking that.
Two bingos by CP already. Nice!
Ugh damn TNT. Always holding shot up with sloppy games before hand. Now I am missing stuff. And they just have to show 50 commercials
I'm missing the game cause dumbass TNT wants to show commercials!? The **** am i sitting here for...this is pissing me off. TNT got me f***ed up!
Clippers look sharp.
I feel ya. The game comes on and I see the Clips executing like ain't nobody's business. Looks like we are ready for the playoffs
What the ****. I know I missed a BG highlight. TNT are goddamn money whores.
Freak injury for Mozgov those are the worst!
JJ so smooth
TNT's coverage is so overrated by NBA fans simply because ESPN sucks. They could do so much better.
Now that we're finally getting to see the game, good start.
I hate games like this before the playoffs. We are scoring on one or two passes but this weekend you know we are gonna need to work harder than that. Those pick and roll dunks come so easy sometimes its where we get into trouble because when teams decide to take that fully away like what OKC did we get crazy sloppy on the 4th through 6th passes in a set.
It's great to see Big Baby be very active and scoring some points too --- 6 points in three minutes!
Turk should to more post fades. Not many people that guard him are tall enough to really contest that
Baby apparently never gets fouled....
What's up with these half trying outlet passes? Come on lets not stray away from what's been successful
Those outlet passes aren't working. Two bad ones in a row.
Hey DJ, Barnes and Griffin the guys in baby blue are playing for the opposite team. Look before you pass.
WTF is a T on BG?????
Looks like Blake won't be playing against Portland.
Guess blake won't be playing tomorrow unless it gets rescinded which it probably won't...
Blake is suspended for the last game...good needs the rest
Blake just got his 16th technical. WOW
win win... If he gets suspended tomorrow he gets to rest. If not.. we continue our wins.
That should have been a flagrant on Blake, not a tech. That doesn't make any sense.
At least Big Baby can start tomorrow and get some serious minutes. We'll need him sharp for the playoffs.
Bogus tech call on Griffin. I hope the league rescinds it tomorrow so he can play versus Portland.
If a player shows no true mal-intent and immediately shows remorse you know it wasn't a tech...
It should be because the NBA protects its stars. If KD were to get his 16 over something it would probably get resciinded.
I love that blake won't retaliate at risk of being suspended but he recklessly picks up techs and gets suspended. It says a lot that he and cousins are the only two to ever be suspended due to techs
If KD got his 16th technical, he would get to shoot the free throw.
Has dj made a single free throw? Regressing big time at the worst time
Who opened the doors at staples and did not tell Jamal????
Cut him some slack. Second game back.
It's a good thing that JCrossover came back before the playoffs. That air ball was ugly. He's going to need tonight and tomorrow to get back into rhythm.
What really helps Blake is the fact that tomorrows game is on National TV as well. The league might keep him in to not destroy the integrity of the matchup
Jamal is a little rusty, but he'll be back, no doubt.

To be honest I had forgotten I had this little treasure stored away in my parent's attic until a few weeks ago. I guess when I was initially given it I wasn't so passionate about family history, now I realise what a wonderful resource it is.
The book is tiny, about 1¾" x 2¼" and about ½" thick. It was published, if that is the right word, by Eyre and Spottiswoode (Bible Warehouse) Ltd., London, and is rather grandly entitled The Royal Bijou Birthday Book.
Each page is divided into two and each half is headed with a month and day (e.g. October 21), a bit like a diary but without the year. The left-hand page has quote for each day, "A Selection from the Poetical Works of SHAKSPEARE, WORDSWORTH, HOOD, TENNYSON, MOORE, BURNS, COWPER, SCOTT, GOLDSMITH, HEMANS, BYRON, MILTON".
The right-hand page is more like a diary, with a space for writing down the relevant birthdays for that day.
The entries are in two different hands, that of my grandmother (Dorothy Annie GASSON née TROWER), who presumably started the book, and after her death in 1964 it was continued by my grandfather (Charles Percy GASSON). I don't know for certain whether the book was started before their marriage in 1936 or not, I suspect it was probably after their marriage and analysis of some of the entries might confirm this.
I need to go through this book, transcribe all the entries and identify all the names and their relationship to my grandparents. A lot of the names are known to me and the majority are still living (because they are my cousins, aunts and uncles) so I won't be publishing the details. Some of the people were probably neighbours and friends.
There is one other interesting addition to the book which is a bit of a mystery. Slipped in towards the back of the book was the passport photo shown below. I have no idea whether it belongs in there or who he is, he doesn't look like any of my relations, but I could be wrong, perhaps one of my relations will be able to put a name to the face.

Anything interesting happening with the Yankees?
Oh, just another day in paradise. When people ask, "What do you do during the offseason?", my response is almost always that the Yankees don't have an offseason. Sometimes the winter is more intense than the summer.
The Yankees completed one important piece of business on Monday, signing Andy Pettitte to a one-year, $5.5 million contract with multiple incentive levels. Obviously this is a huge pay cut from the guaranteed $16 million Pettitte made in '07 and '08, but this was as high as the Yankees were going to go.
Pettitte knew that it was time to make a decision, and $5.5 million — with the chance to make up to $12 million in incentives — sure beats $0 for sitting at home. With the addition of Pettitte to the 40-man roster, Chase Wright was designated for assignment.
One other tidbit: Jorge Posada, Mariano Rivera and Hideki Matsui are all on track for now.
Now, on to the Joe Torre business, which is sending us all back in our own little time machines. Someone was asking me about my taxes and I actually slipped up and wrote the wrong year … and not even that usual January mistake, I fouled up two years. Seems like this book has us more focused on the '07 Yankees than the current version.
A-Rod is supposedly laughing off the 'A-Fraud' stuff — and look, if you didn't already know that Alex had some difficulty keeping a low profile, you weren't paying attention. Some things haven't changed — by the way, has anyone heard anything about Madonna lately?
Brian Cashman thinks the Yankees might rally around each other as a result of this latest controversy. Hey, you know this team. If it wasn't this going into the spring, it'd probably be something else.
I want to reserve judgment on this book until I actually hold it in my hands, and based on what I've pieced together from excerpts floating around the Internet, that seems like the proper course of action. It seems that there will be a lot more context to base the most salacious parts on when 'The Yankee Years' is consumed in its entirety.
57 Comments
Texas has been demanding Bucholtz, Eilsbury and a prospect for Salty, I imagine they just as ridiculous demands from us, likely starting with Hughes and ending with an outfielder and a minor leaguer.
The other thing people under estimate with Molina is how well he works with all pitchers, young, veteran, whatever. Never was this more evident than when Pudge came over and had trouble with communicating his signs.
Matt DeSalvo is a NY Met.
IRod would be like Al Leiter, a non roster invite and insurance, likely not to make the roster. Cash is garbage, he only catches knuckleballers.
Not to mention that Sui can't catch up to balls in the outfield like Damon and his monster catches.
Yanks should not consider trading Matsui. Matsui takes great pride in his conditioning and has a lot to prove…He has been consistently the best clutch hitter in our line up. His legs are healed, he will play an adequate left field, Has a better arm than Damon. Trade Damon, who has no arm, steals very few bases, on obp is mediocre for a lead off hitter and Gardner, another punch & Judy hitter. Nady is a good corner fielder, hits with power from the right side and balances out a line up that has been overwhelming left handed for a number of years.

Key, this equals disaster, no lead off hitter and 2 DH's who might not make it through the year (Sui and Posada) along with a work in progress (Gardner).
Early indications are that Veritek won't sign and that Boston is gonna start back up their trade talks with Zona and Texas.
The ideal trade would be Sui packaged for a young catcher, doubt he would agree to Zona or Texas.
Matt, if you got Cashman on line 1, make the deal. The longer Pudge stays out there, the more likely he takes a minor league deal, even if he retires after camp.
Damon is more likely to be re-signed than traded.
Sui is not a protypical DH, we need him to be Ruben Sierra like and give people days off in the outfield, I am not sure he can do that.
Kennadia is defeated, he can't pitch in NY by his own admission.
Pujols, Manny says no one wants to sign him
Kennedy is young, give him some time to mature into the #1 draft pick he is. Kennedy is not just some trade chip to toss around in hopes of landing a decent prospect.
P.S. What is with the "Kennadia" and "IPK".
Trading Matsui would be a mistake for the Yankees mainly because if they did trade him, they would have to still pay a decent portion of his salary and may not get much in return. It seems as though the Yanks will not be moving Matsui this off-season and I think its for the best– many seem to underestimate the prowess of Godira's bat when he is in the line-up. If healthy (and all indications point to the fact that he is healthy) Matsui will be a perfect compliment to Teix and A-Rod batting in the 5-hole. Matsui will mainly DH but I wouldn't count him out of the OF just yet, there has been no proof saying that he will be stuck off the field.
Also, trading Damon would be an absolutely horrendous move for the Yanks creating a gaping hole in the lead-off spot; just look at Damon's numbers, they were well above league average plus he can play a good LF.
Although, Montero talks might start with Kennadia, the asking price would likely be Kennadia plus 1.
Swisher could be close to being dealt to the Braves (Stark).
The Yankees split salary Philly Coke means he will likely spend most if not all year in the minors, unless needed.
Again, Mets interest in Sui is minor, he split time in LF.
Abreu still creates defensive problems, he is ranked among the worst in the league defensively. Even at $8M, I might prefer Nady defensively to Abreu.
Name-by-name: The upper-level rotation depth-Chad Jennings
Yanks should not consider trading Matsui. Matsui takes great pride in his conditioning and has a lot to prove…He has been consistently the best clutch hitter in our line up. His legs are healed, he will play an adequate left field, Has a better arm than Damon. Trade Damon, who has no arm, steals very few bases, on obp is mediocre for a lead off hitter and Gardner, another punch & Judy hitter. Nady is a good corner fielder, hits with power from the right side and balances out a line up that has been overwhelming left handed for a number of years.
could Swisher and a pitcher be traded for Lastings Millidge…and Matsui be traded with Cash for a pitcher or pitchers…if that could happen then the Yankees could definately sign Abreu…
i don't think the Mariners have a good DH…and they have some good young pitching coming up and some with major league experience…that could be a place for Matsui…and Seattle might be willing to take on a large part of his contract…and that could open the budget for Bobby Abreu…
but i wonder about the potential of Austin Jackson…will he actually be a solid major leaguer…i wonder if the Yankees could trade him and Nick Swisher for Corey Hart or Nick Swisher and Melky for Chris Young…in both those trades they get the combined talent of the two players traded in one player…maybe a prospect pitcher would have to be thrown in but it probably be worth it….
I know Nady is also gone next year, but there are distinct benefits for bringing back Bobby. Bobby has proven consistency with his swing. With Swisher available to play the corner and Bobby in the DH role you end up looking at the two batters who have faced the most pitches in the majors. A pair of patient bats with Swisher's almost immaculate defense. Nady is beyond talented, but so are the bevy of players making their way up. In all reality, the Yanks cannot go wrong with any move they make at this point. But I agree with the comment above: I'll take Abreu over Matsui any day. Abreu is consistent, has stayed healthy, and is a dangerous hitter. He can also pick up extra bases. Put him in the 5 spot and watch pitchers cringe to get through any part of this line up (especially with Jorge back, Cano in better form, and Swisher soaking up pitches). The only unknown is the offensive impact Melky/Gardner might be able to bring. Having only one question mark on the lineup is quite nice, if you ask me.
Rosh, Nady is gone after this year so it's similar to signing Abreu in that regard. But the Yankees cannot operate in '09 to accommodate prospects that have proven nothing and may not be ready nor good enough for '10.
That reason for lofting Tek on a pedestal is tired and weak, I'm sorry but Tek isn't the reason those pitchers pitch well. Pitchers study film now just as much as catchers and know what they want to throw and can shake off the catcher when they want to. It isn't only the catcher today that prepares for hitters, and if you put a different catcher in Tek's place they'd perform very simalrly, and the Sox would most likely get much better offense. The "he handles the staff so well" is an ESPN Sox-loving creation. And while Texas may have lowered they demands for their catchers according to MLBTR they still demand Bucholtz plus. My point was it would be too high of a price for the Yankees to get involved because Texas would likely ask for Hughes plus from the Yankees for either backstop. Also I would have to think it would take much much more than IPK to get Montero.
Partyboy, the Sox are attempting to sign the "washed-up" Varitek more so for the way he commands the pitching staff, than for his offensive abilities. Yes Varitek is on a decline, but like I said, what he brings to the Sox and their pitching staff, no other catcher would come in and duplicate that. He knows the whole staff, knows how to work with the staff, has the respect of his pitchers (as well as the rest of his team and the organization) and is such a huge piece of that franchise. The Rangers had initially wanted to start with Bucholz for Teagarden, but the Sox said no, and I think since then the Rangers have even lowered their asking price, although be it still pretty high.
Bpark, if the concept of a trade with the Dbacks for Montero starts with IPK, I say why not? There's more than enough arms in the Yankees' system to be able to deal with the loss of IPK, especially if it happens due to a trade to bring in a 25 yr. old catcher. I would rather the Yankees get Saltalamacchia, but if they can have Montero for IPK, I would think that would be a good swap.
In regards to paying some of Matsui's contract, well I guess if he would agree to be traded and the Yankees could get something legitimate in return (and they don't have to pay too much of his $13mil), maybe they should explore that option. If that were to happen, then I suppose the possibility of bringing back Abreu as the full-time DH (he could also spell Nady in RF occasionally) would be a solid option, as long as he's willing to do that. At this point in time, I'd rather have Abreu in the lineup than Matsui, because who knows exactly what Matsui will do this year.
Dumping Nady/Matsui and resigning Abreu isn't really a bad idea. With Swish, Nady, and Melky/Gardner remaining after this season, there leaves no room for prospects next year. That's still an overflowing outfield scenario … I'd like to see Austin Jackson get a shot in the '10 season. Picking up Abreu for 1 year helps to clear the air, keeps a DH option for him open, and leaves Swish clear to be an everyday player. If the Mets are interested in Sui, make it work. Keep Bobby in Pinstripes. I'd love to see Damon, Melky/Gardner, Swisher as the outfield and Bobby as THE DH!
Career stats:
Player – OBP – SLG – AVG – AB/R – AB/RBI – AB/SO
Swisher – 0.354 – 0.451 – 0.244 – 5.99 – 6.52 – 3.92
Nady – 0.335 – 0.458 – 0.280 – 7.79 – 6.90 – 5.03
Joba had no history of injuries while starting prior to 2008. If he feels any discomfort this year he may get shut down for a delivery overhaul at Tampa. We need to hope that doesn't happen. And I agree Grienke would have been a nice addition.
Now that the rotation is complete or at least we are heading to spring training in the right direction; the Yankees should focus on the Outfielders, It time to see if we can bring Bobby Abreu, it will be interesting to see if the Yankees makes some moves with Nady and Cabrera, try to bring back Abreu; it will be an amazing line up.
Gardner or Nick Swisher
If the Yankees trade Nady it will be hard to be compete without a power hitter on the outfield, Swisher has to develop again. It could take long.
The Tigers flat out stole Laird! Counting on Kevin Cash as backup is not something I'm comfortable with. His 2008 number were worse than Swisher.
It'll be interesting to see how quickly some of our catching prospects develope in the minors. It's too bad Cervelli lost so much time last year with the broken wrist. I'm still mad at the Rays for that!
I also hope Nady duplicates his offensive production from last year. Maybe the Yankee lineup will help him stay at higher level than his past.
Matt, Abreu has lowered his demands to 1 year 8M.
Mets have minor interest in Sui in left field with Tatis but they would want us to pay a portion of his salary.
Then Molina remains the backup and if Posada can't catch they need a starter. Posada should be moved to DH and Sui to the westcoast.
Trade for Salty or Teagarden? Please the Rangers are asking way too much for the Yanks to entertain that. If the Red Sox haven't pulled the trigger on a deal like that and are going to sign a washed up catcher in Veretek instead that has to show that the asking price is much too high. We all know the price is starting with Buchholtz but there is definitely more to it. Joba ins not a reliever, he was drafted as a starter and had injury problems because the Yankees babied him by putting him the bullpen ten trying to make him a starter. It's nice to be shutdown in the 8th and 9th but you have to get to the 8th with a lead. A set-up man usually has one plus pitch and one or two so-so pitches to work with Joba has a starters arsenal. Nobody can really say he's a true injury risk until we see how he handles a season where he prepares to be a starter and pitches the whole season as a starter.
If Igawa wants to go Andruw Jones and redo his contract and actually pitch, some teams are willing to trade for him but not at his current salary.
What else is A Rod going to do other than laugh off Torre, he knows going after him isn't worth it. As far as Pettite goes I think this was a good deal at a reasonable price.
The yanks def need to get rid of Nady and Matsui. Matsui is getting old and Nady is good trade bait. Keep Swisher for DH and re-sign Bobby Abreu!
Also put Joba back in the bullpen where he truly belongs. With Joba in front of Rivera, the game is over by the 7th and if Rivera goes down for some reason, we have Joba.
Lineup: 1. Damon, 2. Jeter, 3. Teixeira, 4. ARod, 5. Abreu, 6. Swisher, 7. Posada, 8. Cano, 9. Gardner
Rotation: 1. Sabbathia, 2. Burnett, 3. Wang, 4. Pettitte, 5. Hughes
Bullpen: Rivera, Joba, Veras, Marte, Ramirez, Bruney, Coke
Olney: if the Yankees move 2 of Sui, Nady, and Swisher, they may re-sign Abreu.

How about the Zona catcher?
Molina is the best backup catcher we have had in over ten years. I don't know why people are dismissing him when he was forced to start because of injury. He has way better defense than Posada. Making a trade for another catcher would end Posada's career as a catcher not Molina's.
I think that Cashman should explore a trade with the Rangers for 1 of their surplus of catchers. Saltalamacchia would be a great addition to this club in my opion, if not Teagarden (he'd probably come at a higher cost than Salty). That would provide more than enough insurance for the Yankees, because who really knows how many games Posada will be catching this season.
Melancon is definitely looking like the long term replacement for Rivera. Thing is, Rivera is, well he's Mariano Rivera. And I just hope we won't need to replace him yet.
The Yankees really do need an improvement catching. I don't think Posada can be our fulltime catcher until Montero or Romine comes up, and Montero may well be moved from catcher soon anyway. In the meantime Molina isn't a player who should get 80 games a year.
Cathers are usually very hard to trade for. We have to wonder though, Tigers didn't give up all that much for Laird in my opinion, maybe Cashman should have at least swung at that trade.
As a journalism student and a Yankees fan, I just want to thank you for the effectiveness in which you follow your beat. This semester we are doing an intense study of beat reporting. Having followed your beat for the past year, and thoroughly for this exciting winter, I find it much easier to understand the depths of beat reporting.
Thank you for unintentionally being a teaching aid.

The best thing that could happen to the Yankees would be Torre saying something bad about them. They need a little anger in their play!!!!
Wow! I thought after reading the AFraud and Torre's book deal that I was on a blog for The Bold and The Beautiful not MLB. This whole ARod situation just keeps me laughing. I am surprised with Torre and the book. I really thought Torre was above crap like that. I guess when all else fails write a book. Maybe He and Jose can start a book club together with Oprah.
Chamberlain's needs time in the minors to smooth out his delivery and build up stamina… his delivery is to violent…he won't last long as a starter. Yanks had chance to trade for Greinke but Royals inked him for four years…Should still pursue Ben Sheets.
I have a suggestion that's probably not going to happen: trade Nady, and sign Abreu for a big discount.
King Yankees
That's not a bad article from RAB because all they usually post is the same exact thing as Peter Abraham. It doesn't mean they are right. Last year I said that Joba wasn't going to make it as a starter and what happened? He broke down. I'm 1 for 1. After this year, I'll be 2 for 2 because he's going to get hurt as a reliever as well.
Sean Serritella
Your arguments have absolutely NO credentials whatsoever. Joba is 24 years old, and is dropping jaws all around the league. He is a stud with a great repertoire or #1 pitches. For Rodriguez, he will undoubtedly be among the absolute elite echelon of players ever to have stepped to the dish, if not the best player. A-Rod is a tank, I would rather he over anybody else in our line-up for the 2009 season. I can't believe how little love A-Rod received this year for MVP votes. No, I don't think he was the best hitter in the AL this year but he was up there in every category, just goes to show the uneducated stigma that revolves around A-Rod. I guess I shouldn't be shocked howoever, in a year when Pedrioa won the MVP with those numbers– I'm not saying that because I'm a Yankee fan, I say it because he did not deserve it.
Fangraphs on The Great Joba Debate
Here are two things you can count on.
AFraud will never win a championship with the Yankees. As long as he is on the Yankees, they will never win.
Also, Joba will never work out as a starter. He'll get hurt.
Sean Serritella
I commend you on waiting to read "The Book" before you comment on it. They had an interesting discussion about the book this morning on MLB Network. It would appear from listening to them that many of the advance quotes out and about that are attributed to Torre might actually have been said by others. Will I read the book – Yes! I'm a Red Sox fan; how could I not! But I too am reserving judgement. Joe Torre always struck me as a class act and I don't expect my opinion to change after reading it.
Is Joba out of ESPNtheweekend? His court appearance is now around that time.
ESPN was raving about the Yankees rotation last night. They said Pettitte is the best 14 game 5 starter ever. ESPN guys went as far as to say Pettitte should be #3.
We have no proper backup for either Posada or Rivera, and if either of them misses time there is a steep dropoff. If I was Cashman or Girardi I'd be losing sleep.
Here's an interesting read…until you get to the Red Sox fans comments:
Comparing the Yankees' rotations in 2008 and 2009

Right now such a deal is
unacceptable to the American side though, as it
looks like rewarding blackmail. Such a
compromise would create a dangerous precedent: a
rogue state will not only be allowed to flout
international law with impunity; it will be
rewarded too. But diplomats seldom face a choice
between acceptable and unacceptable deals. More
often than not, they have to choose between
several unsavory, not to say morally dubious,
options - and the North Korean program will
continue apace if nothing is done. This will
mean more nuclear devices of higher quality, the
development of workable delivery systems and
perhaps even a fully functioning
uranium-production capability - not to mention
the possibility of proliferation. So,
one might expect that sooner or later the US
side will seriously consider the unconsiderable
and start negotiating nuclear arms limitations,
rather than nuclear arms disarmament. But this
will take time - and perhaps a couple more
nuclear tests, missile launches and some
revelations about proliferation activity in the
Middle East.

If Doc just gives him the job of challenging JJ's defense in practice & getting garbage minutes to keep our rotation players healthy I'll take it.
Its just an invite to camp, lets see how he does in camp first, but hinestly Agent 0 > wayans
If he plays well enough in camp to make the team, great, I'm fine with signing him. But I think he's going to have to play out of his mind to make it since we already have 5 guards under contract.
If he is anything near the old agent 0 then say sign him...it would definitely gives us flexibility if a trade comes up down the line....granger and Deng are on expiring contracts
I'll take Gilbert or another vet over Wayns any day of the week. Gilbert probably has the highest possibility of contributing amongst available PGs so I'm glad they're giving him a shot. Wayns is a waste of time IMO.
an aged/washed out hibachi? why not?
I see what you did there...
Gilbert is going back to China due to enjoying the shorter season. So that's settled.
Was it ever an thought?? Lol. I know it's the offseason and all.....

The death certificate for Mercy STEADMAN (née TROWER) has arrived from the GRO and it has failed to provide the answer that I had hoped for. If anything it caused a bit of confusion, until I actually figured out what was going on.
The reason for ordering a copy of the certificate was to try and find the name of Mercy's husband. Under the occupation heading it should have told me that she was a widow and given her ex-husband's name.
Unfortunately the informant who registered the death didn't know what her husband's name was, so all I have is Widow of — Steadman Occupation unknown. Not very helpful to say the least.
It hadn't occurred to me that because Mercy's husband had died before 1891, there would be a good chance that whoever registered the death, possibly four decades later, probably never knew who Mercy's husband was.
The confusion came from the place of death, 2 Upper Shoreham Road, Kingston-by-Sea. This wasn't the same as her address that was also given on the death certificate (97 Wellington Road, Portslade-by-Sea).
The key to this puzzle is the Steyning Union Workhouse. It appears that the address of the workhouse was 2 Upper Shoreham Road, and the informant who registered the death was H[orace] W[alter] Cawcutt, the master of the Steyning Poor Law Institution.
I know that when Mercy died in 1929 her estate was valued at £404 12s 2d, so she wasn't exactly a pauper, so my guess is that she was in the workhouse due to ill health (the workhouse would later become part of Southlands Hospital).
So I didn't find out who Mercy's husband was, but I haven't quite given up hope of finding out his name. Records from the Steyning Union Workhouse are apparently held at the East Sussex Record Office, including admission and death registers, there may be a clue held within their pages.

text: These wee gnomes are so much fun, you may keep them for yourself! Our Rainbow Stacking Gnomes is a set of 5 of the Stacking Gnomes each with its own beautiful hat. They love to dance on the Nature Table, on a book shelf, in the window sill, or even at the dinner table. Each gnome is 2" tall before their hat is on. They each have a hat that they can take off and share with the other gnomes. See if you can stack them without their hats falling off! Made in the USA. Not recommended for children 3 and under due to the hat - some would put this in their mouth.
