WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama may round out his new national security leadership team next week, with a nomination for defence secretary expected and a pick to lead the CIA possible.
Former Republican Senator Chuck Hagel of Nebraska is the front-runner for the top Pentagon post. Acting CIA Director Michael Morell and Obama counterterrorism adviser John Brennan are leading contenders to head the spy agency.
White House aides said the president has not made a final decision on either post and won't until he returns from Hawaii, where he is vacationing with his family. Mr Obama is due back in Washington Sunday morning.
Mr Obama nominated Senator John Kerry to replace Hillary Clinton as secretary of state in December, his first step in filling out his second term Cabinet and national security team. Mr Kerry, as well as the nominees for the Pentagon and CIA, must be confirmed by the Senate.
Mr Hagel, the former senator from Nebraska, is a contrarian Republican moderate and decorated Vietnam combat veteran who is likely to support a more rapid withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan. If confirmed, Mr Hagel would give Mr Obama a whiff of bipartisanship in his Cabinet.
Even before his nomination, Mr Hagel's consideration for the top Pentagon job raised concerns among some of his former Senate colleagues, who questioned his pronouncements on Iraq, Israel and the Middle East. Troubling for some lawmakers are Mr Hagel's comments and actions on Israel, including his reference to the "Jewish lobby" in the United States.
Mr Hagel has also been criticised for comments he made in 1998 about an openly gay nominee for an ambassadorship. In an interview with the Omaha World-Herald in 1998, Mr Hagel said he believed that for a US ambassador, "it is an inhibiting factor to be gay" and referred to Mr James C. Hormel as "openly, aggressively gay". He has since apologised for those comments.
If nominated and confirmed, Mr Hagel would replace current Defence Secretary Leon Panetta.
Mr Morell has served as the CIA's acting director since early November, after David Petraeus resigned after admitting to an affair with his biographer.
Mr Brennan, Mr Obama's top counterterrorism adviser, worked at the CIA for 25 years, including a stint as station chief in Saudi Arabia.
He also served as chief of staff to then CIA Director George Tenent from 1999 to 2001, when he was named the agency's deputy executive director.

BitTorrent Sync btsync - basic setup
Important Note: There is a conflict between the new version of btsync released
1.4.75 and the previously configured conf file used in this FAQ. You will need to do these three things:
1: Download the conf file again and follow the steps below this notice to configure it. You do not need to set a username or password this time. You will be prompted to create this when you visits the WebUi.
2: restart btsync using this command in SSH:
killall -u $(whoami) btsync && ~/btsync/./btsync --config ~/btsync/sync.conf
3: Clear your browser history and cache completely and then reload the WebUi
End of Notice
In SSH do the commands described in this FAQ. If you do not know how to SSH into your slot use this FAQ: SSH basics - Putty
Your FTP / SFTP / SSH login information can be found on the Slot Details page for the relevant slot. Use this link in your Account Manager to access the relevant slot:

btsync automated installation
After SSH'ing into your slot run the following command:
wget -qO ~/install.btsync http://git.io/zHDQGA && bash ~/install.btsync
btsync manual installation
Here are some basic set-up steps for btsync.
Info: Automatically sync files via secure, distributed technology. btsync homepage
You will need to execute these commands in SSH
btsync 1.4
mkdir -p ~/btsync
wget -qO ~/btsync/btsync.tar.gz http://download.getsyncapp.com/endpoint/btsync/os/linux-x64/track/stable
tar xf ~/btsync/btsync.tar.gz -C ~/btsync && cd && rm -f btsync/btsync.tar.gz

tar xf ~/btsync/btsync.tar.gz -C ~/btsync && cd && rm -f btsync/btsync.tar.gz
We are going to use a custom conf file with some tweaks. Please use this file and not the dummy conf generated by the binary. The custom conf has some basic things already configured.
Use this command to get it. It will be downloaded to the right location.
wget -qO ~/btsync/sync.conf http://git.io/tnT60g
Configure the conf file:
Now run this command to set a few variables we need:
sed -i 's|MYHOME|'"$HOME"'|g' ~/btsync/sync.conf
sed -i 's|####|'$(shuf -i 10001-49000 -n 1)'|g' ~/btsync/sync.conf
Start Btsync:
Now start btsync using this command:
~/btsync/./btsync --config ~/btsync/sync.conf
The result will look like this:
It is now running in the background ready for us to use.
Accessing the WebUi
To access the Web Gui you must use a browser and visit the URL, where
username is your Feral username and
server is the name of your Feral server that hosts the slot btsync is installed on:
Important note: to use https you can use the URL format
username.server.feralhosting.com without editing the conf. You may have to press
F5 a few times for the Gui to load after accepting the invalid cert.
Use this command to see the generated WebUi port via SSH:
sed -rn 's|.*"listen" : "0.0.0.0:(.*)".*|\1|p' ~/btsync/sync.conf
Then modify the example URL below with your server information and WebUi port listed by the previous command:
For example:
For example:
Either will work.
Using the WebUi
Once you are at the WebUI you will be prompted to create a user account. This is only for accessing and using the WebUI.
Once you have done this step you will be prompted to log in:
ONce logged in your are ready to use btsync.
Network & Speed Tweaks
BTSync seemed very slow for me at times, and was curious on the Advanced settings, and what could be safely changed without having a massive performance hit client side.
Mileage may vary, remember the default values to go back to. I'll also mention them here.
Setting disk_low_priority to False
Allows for more disk usage, specially if you're Syncing to a secondary hard drive, no reason to have it set to low priority.
send_buf_size and recv_buf_size
The default values are 10 per variable. I slowly increased them by 5 each time and see if I saw any improvement. I didn't see any improvement till I set both variables to 35. Like I said, you may change them further and see if you find any improvement, but don't go to crazy.
Kill btsync
To Kill the processes use this command to find running instances:
ps x | grep btsync | grep -v grep
Kill all btsync processes this way:
killall -u $(whoami) btsync

MARTINSBURG -Jefferson County resident Melissa Taylor is happy that her family's monthly insurance premium has been cut by more than half as a result of coverage she purchased via the online marketplace exchange.
She had been paying $1,500 per month for herself, her husband and her daughter - an amount that was reduced to $632 for two-person coverage, excluding her daughter.
But it was that same process - all part of the Affordable Care Act - which was also frustrating, because it took more than two months to complete, involved dozens of phone calls dealing with confused representatives and hours spent on hold while waiting for answers, Taylor said.
Article Photos
Eric Householder.
It wasn't easy, even in the beginning, because Taylor faced conflicting information, had her application terminated, was told payment hadn't been received after she'd paid it and was also told processors had no information on her young daughter - that they didn't know what had happened to it, she said.From?Page A1
"That was really scary because you don't want to hear that in this day and age," Taylor said with a sigh. Eventually, Taylor agreed to her young daughter being covered by the state health insurance program for children, although she's still not sure this was the right thing to do, she said.
Taylor also demanded help from President Barack Obama, although she never heard back from Washington.
Fact Box
What to Know:
The deadline is Mar. 31 at midnight EDT for the states where the federal government is running the sign-up website; states running their own exchanges set their own deadlines.
You can sign up online by going to HealthCare.gov or your state insurance exchange. If you don't know what your state marketplace is called, HealthCare.gov will direct you.
You can call 1-800-318-2596 to sign up by phone or get help from an enrollment specialist.
Check online for sign-up centers that may be open locally, offering in-person assistance.
If you started an application by Monday but didn't finish, perhaps because of errors, missing information or website glitches, you can take advantage of a grace period. The government says it will accept paper applications until April 7 and take as much time as necessary to handle unfinished cases on HealthCare.gov.
Be prepared for the possibility of long wait times.

"I just thought this was his idea, so he should know how it was working - or rather, not working," said Taylor, who also sought help from the state Insurance Commission and local legislators.
Although she finally got things settled this week and is supposedly insured, Taylor said she wouldn't be satisfied until she got an insurance card.
"It's just hard to believe at this point," she said.
Harpers Ferry resident Anthony Catanese said he opposes the ACA and believes it will be bad for local businesses.
As owner of his family-run business, Camp Hill Bed and Breakfast, Catanese said he's particularly concerned that small businesses are responsible for the act's health insurance tax.
"Although it will be directly levied on health insurance companies, any small business providing health coverage to employees or the owners will pick up the tab via high premiums," he said.
Catanese described this as a "trickle-down impact" because higher costs will eventually hurt businesses - especially small ones.
"The more money they have to spend (on insurance), the less money they will have to spend (locally). And then they aren't going to come here to our bed and breakfast," he said.
Delegate Eric Householder, R-Berkeley, one of the state legislature's most vocal critics of the ACA, said he totally understands these concerns after hearing similar ones from many other people.
"The general consensus is to repeal it. People definitely don't want it," he said.
Householder doesn't believe the federal law is constitutional, but instead wants states to act independently.
During the recent session, Householder introduced a bill based on its being unconstitutional - one that also said anyone enforcing the act is guilty of a felony.
It died in committee, but got a lot of press first and that wasn't too surprising, he said.
"I knew that's how the press would go, when really I was trying to send a message and hope it would never come to that. The message should be that we can make better health choices for our citizens in West Virginia, rather than having the federal government do it," Householder said.
"And if enough states passed this kind of bill, they would have to repeal, revamp or do whatever is necessary to fix this," he said. Delegates Larry Faircloth, Larry D. Kump and Mike Folk, all R-Berkeley, cosponsored the bill.
Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, who has long-standing concerns about the act and the privacy of information being submitted by citizens, hasn't changed his mind since co-authoring a letter last summer that was sent to Kathleen Sebelius, secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
"I remain deeply concerned about the overall implementation of Obamacare, and the number of delays and changes the Obama administration has already undertaken to try to make this unworkable law palatable and tolerable to the American public," Morrisey said.
"As the enrollment period draws to a close, I am particularly concerned about the viability of the program considering the low number of young adults who have enrolled thus far. In order for this insurance to work, there has to be a certain percentage of healthy people who are enrolled and paying premiums," he said.
"That simply is not happening enough. As a result, costs may spiral out of control. We can do much better for hardworking West Virginians," Morrisey said.

Purchased for a friends birthday. My 2nd hand purchase! The recipient loves her HAND-Stand to bits and was super impressed with the packaging & personalised card. Excellent service and excellent product. I will buy more!
Carol on Sep 2, 2016
These are simply amazing! I have ordered several for birthdays & Christmas. She is making a few of them with my fabric. So fun!
Give 'Em A HAND. . . Stand!
When I was a kid there was a room in our basement where Dad tossed fabric samples from his interior design business. A huge pile of color and texture. I used to throw myself into the pile and lie very still, imagining myself in perfect camouflage, my skin having become one with those glorious fabrics.
These HAND-Stands came about many years later, after seeing wooden glove makers' hands, then inspired by a friend to try making one with fabric. I couldn't stop at one!
I've been making them for 16 years, using my own hand for the pattern. Each one is stitched on my 1950 Singer Featherweight, then stuffed with poly-fil and weighted in the wrist to stand out - to delight!

FREE! Card included. Compose your message on checkout order form 'note from buyer.'
Wholesale, Consignment, Layaway availability
I do not Wholesale, Consign, or offer Layaway for my products. Each item is made individually by hand. Often one-of-a-kind. They are labor intensive with no mass-production processes involved.

Where do you get your hands?
I hand-make them myself. They are fabric soft sculptures. I make each HAND-Stand individually: trace my own hand onto fabric; machine stitch two sides together; and stuff fingers and palm with polyester fiberfil. The wrist is solid with a "weight tub" - pennies inside a sealed plastic container - to support the hand so it stands sturdy on a flat, level, stationary surface, like a desk, dresser, mantel, shelf, counter top or windowsill.

I don't know why JB would do this to me. Do you know what he told me? He told me I didn't fit in. He told me my only chance of being accepted was for me to join some program he was calling, "Avatar". I believe his exact words were, "Yeah we can change your avatar, what were you thinking?" Wait… this was my idea? Was it me who asked him to take my sexy, bearded, aboriginal face and join it with my real life sexy, bearded, non-aboriginal face? I can't tell what is reality and what is a dream anymore. All I do know is that in this world of mixed mediums, my body, or as JB keeps calling it, my "Avatar", is merely a shell for my one track mind. A mind dedicated only to fantasy basketball; unfortunately sometimes this mind can wonder. Wonder back to yesteryear when Patrick Beverley was a sleeper or when Alec Burks was supposed to start for the Jazz. In an attempt to relieve those nostalgic days, I present to you my beginning of the season All Under-Owned Team. My cutoff was 30% owned in Yahoo leagues and hopefully with season-long appeal.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Ramon Sessions
Uh oh… Brandon Knight had a good game… JB's gonna talk about his Brandon Knight infatuation all year now! Great…
One of my big sleeper calls last year (which was, only, kindasorta right), I again came into this season with Knight well ahead of the consensus (six spots ahead of the next highest among 25 experts – the only one in green!). And while his knight (womp womp) was still redonkulous, there was more to like than only the stat line. Went 22/8/13/0/1 with 2 treys and 10-10 FT. But what's to salivate over is he led the Bucks in minutes, clearly started the game as the PG, and both Kendall Marshall and Nate Wolters didn't get off the bench. Jerryd Bayless was the only backup PG to get off the pine for a measly 14 minutes. I think a big hesitation for fantasy owners was if Knight was going to play more SG like he did down the stretch last year, having his dimes eaten away like Raymond Felton at a CiCis. Certainly looks like that won't be the case, and when I face opposing fantasy teams, Knight is going to be my Public Enemy #1. Here's what else went down in our first big slate of games for the 2014-15 season:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Well, there's certainly been no lack of news this past week! No fantasy sport is safe from injuries, even in the preseason! Well, maybe fantasy fishing (yes, I've played it!).
As reported everywhere, even on tweens.com (I hope that's not a real site and/or not an illegal site! Not gonna find out in my web history!), Kevin Durant has a broken bone in his foot, and the initial timetable in 6-8 weeks. But of course given it's KD, and we're nearing the home stretch of the fantasy drafting window, there's all sorts of shrouds of uncertainty. First there's surgery vs. non-surgery, which I'm guessing the latter involves rum and Jobu, but I'm no voodoo. Despite my limited knowledge on Jones fractures, I am hoping he opts for the surgery. If he doesn't get it, it seems like Durant is playing with fire. We saw the Thunder bring back Westbrook earlier than expected last year with his knee issues, then he suffered re-injury (of course, causation is merely speculative). Which leads to point number two – either way you look at it surgery vs. non-surgery, Jones fractures are all sorts of tricky. Lingering issues, re-injuring it, it's all up in the air. My perspective is Durantula has been healthy for virtually his whole career, spanning 7 seasons. So I'm optimistic he can be a fast healer, and splitting the difference of 6-8 weeks to 7 weeks out. Given when news broke, that's missing just over a month of the regular season.
In my re-ranks I published yesterday, I only moved KD down to 2 with Anthony Davis up to #1 (side note – found this article with NBA MVP odds, how can I hop in on this?! Brow 25/1?! I'll throw $10 on him to win $250!). In H2H, if you're a confident manager, you can stream and bear a .500 record for a month. Then you have KD for the playoffs! I think if you try to sell right now in a panic if you've already drafted, or let him fall too far in your draft, you'll be kicking yourself in the postseason. All that said, in Roto, I'm probably letting him fall until at least the middle of the first round. Having by far the best per-game player for the fantasy playoffs weeks obviously doesn't matter. Hopefully by early next week there's a little more clarity on Durant, and I'll have one final rankings revision next Wednesday. Here's what else has gone down in fantasy hoops since the last wrap-up (which will be daily during the season!):Please, blog, may I have some more?
Preseason is here! Preseason is here! I'm as giddy as N64 kid on Christmas Day.
But before we got into any action, Nick Young had a rough end of to his week last week, jacking up his thumb on his shooting hand requiring surgery. He'll be out 8 weeks, which puts him back in Purp-n-Gold mid-to-late November, optimistically. You can drop him off your fantasy teams now! He's got a plenty big cast to hitchhike his way somewhere else. I would say to "Scrubtown" but if you say that three times fast it starts to sound kinda like Scranton and I don't want to offend Scrantonites or fans of The Office.
I wasn't big on Swaggy P anyway, but no reason to touch him except in the very deepest of leagues. Pretty empty scoring. Wesley Johnson gets a minor bump up, and that's the extent of the impact. Now back to preseason! Of course every performance must be taken with a grain of salt, and this early it's a friggin' pillar of salt, but it's never too early to see how players are doing – especially this year's ridiculous class of rooks. Here's what's gone on across the league:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Razzball Nation!
If you hadn't gathered through some comments and a few less articles the past week, I'm back from my adventure in Bavaria and over my Oktoberfest hangover! Geez those Oktoberfest litre (European spelling!) beers were strong! If anyone has had the chance to go, definitely share your stories. Drunk munchies of currywurst and then trying to order steak for some reason (or so I'm told!) was absolutely fantastic.
So indeed I am back, and even though I have a callus on my forefinger from raising my beer glass, my hand is in better shape than Rajon Rondo's! Broke his hand in the shower on Friday, and with surgery will miss 6-8 weeks. Let me set up the scene as I pictured this incident: Rondo is on the run after ripping off his bank, pulls into the Olynyk Hotel, he starts to shower and the piercing violin theme sounds – with Kelly Olynyk storming in with a butcher knife! Pretty much Kelly Olynyk anything is scary. "He's coming at me with a fish stick!" Then all the sudden he turns 5 fish sticks into enough to feed the whole crowd… (Of course, I wrote that whole intro before news came out Rondo was spotted on a trampoline at a park, and that sounds more likely a hand-breaking locale. Maybe he was practicing for a revival of SlamBall!)
I've gotten flack for liking Rondo a lot this year, with my rationale him expanding into a perimeter game and likely a career best in points, but as I've said before – sometimes injuries can help you from bad ranks! Moving him way down into 50s or so, maybe even later, even though he'll only miss the first week or two (report surfaced today 10-15 games so more like 3 weeks). Here's what else has gone down lately in the world of offseason hoops:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Razzball Nation! Man, scary to think there's only a week left of the regular season. Where has all the time gone?! While the majority of leagues have wrapped up, we've still got some extended H2H finals and Roto players out there who need a pickup for The End of the Road. And why not Randy Foye after his 30/5/15/2/0 explosion last night? "Wait, don't you hate Randy Foye JB?!" Shut it, commenter who remembers everything! I do hate Foye, but he's going to get the volume with Ty Lawson out at least another few games with his bum ankle. Brian Shaw is saying Lawson probably will return this season, and coaches never lie or deceive us in the NBA, right?! Cough cough. With only two games on the slate tomorrow, the 63%-owned Foye (which, yes, is probably lower than it should be given the leagues that are over with aren't making moves) needs to be scooped up in all leagues still rounding out their finals. Plus the Nugs schedule the rest of the way is @GS, UTA, @LAC, GS. He's gonna heave up more threes than Jimmer Fredette at the BYU Alumni game! Here's what else I've seen over the last couple of days of NBA action:Please, blog, may I have some more?
"1,000, 1,001, 1,002, 1,003. Wow, I can hardly lift my left arm I did so many. I don't know if you heard me, but I did over 1,000." Maybe should've stopped at like 40! Kyrie Irving strained his left biceps a couple weeks ago, sending owners into a furious frenzy of wire replacements. And one of the most fun times of the year (although you could argue most frustrating) is when the fringe or struggling playoff teams make drastic moves. Well, I would argue dropping Kyrie when news hit wasn't a drastic move, but I think you all know what I'm saying in H2H leagues. After a very positive reevaluation, Uncle Drew was cleared for practice yesterday and could return as soon as tomorrow. Talk about positivity! While the game tomorrow against the Magic seems questionable, there still is cloudy uncertainty. Both that game and the Cavs next on Friday at the Hawks are on very busy, heavily-scheduled days. Of course when healthy, Kyrie is a no-brainer, but I'd imagine his first game back comes with a little bit of training wheels. So if you're in your final week in your title hopes, I'm not seeing an immediacy in picking him up. But if your finals are next week, or a two-week final, go ahead and Cry Uncle. Wait, that doesn't mean what I was hoping. Go ahead and pry Uncle? Eh… In Roto, hopefully you held Kyrie as that's what I would've done. Looking ahead to next week, it's sadly only three games for the Cavs, but stay positive! One against Detroit and another against da Bucks. Gotta like those. Here's what else I saw last night in fantasy basketball action:Please, blog, may I have some more?
If you've made it this far, you are about to head into the championship match week, or perhaps your semi finals. Wait, whut? There are a smattering of leagues only starting their playoffs now?? Madness. In March. Hmmm… that's catchy, should try to remember that one.
I digress. You gotta get your game-face on, your heart rate up! Go to your bathroom, turn up your volume, and listen to some inspiring music while mean-mugging in the mirror, it's go time! As for me, I acknowledge that if you are indeed in the big dance, you probably don't need me too much. To paraphrase Vince Vaughn in Swingers: "My baby's all growed up!!" That said, should you may have to replace an injured cat or two, may I suggest the following:Please, blog, may I have some more?
The Lakers. The Bucks. Two terrible teams enter. Only one team wins (well, actually neither of these teams are winners, unless you count if they get the first pick in next year's draft, I guess winning the lottery is something…). Two horrible teams with fast-paced awfulness where we see flashes of fantasy goodness. And we got another taste of the sweet nectar that is Jordan Hill when given playing time! 31 minutes for 28/16/0/1/0 shooting a ridiculous 13-17. With 9 of those boards offensive, Hill was abusing the paint and his shot chart around the rim looked like a rash in Kim Kardashian's nethers. Everyone that has watched the Lakers lately (a number that has decreased significantly, and would even more without fantasy!) knows Hill should be starting the 4 every night, and it's taken way too long for D'Antoni to finally go back to him. Even Hill is confused about his playing time based on his profile pic… No Pau Gasol at least for tonight, and Chris Kaman barely arriving on time to last night's game due to personal reasons might have put a craw in Doh-toni's gears. There was a report they hadn't talked in weeks before Tuesday's game. Before that, Kobe Bryant said he hadn't talked to D'Antoni in a while during his rant. The Lakers coach is running this team like it's freshman year of high school. "OMG, like, Mike hasn't put me in the game, so like, I stopped talking to him and, like just started posting memes on the internet!" I knew it was Kaman! You're playing with fire, but for guys widely available, if you have a roster spot open Hill is as good as any to give you a really high upside double double tonight. Against the Wolves should be a pretty free flowing game, so let's all hope Jordan stays over the Hill before we bury Mike D'Anotni underneath it. Here's what else I saw last night in fantasy basketball action:Please, blog, may I have some more?
It's been a year long punching bag. Larry Drew sucks, he has no idea how to grow a young team, and because he plays guys different minutes every night the Bucks are atrocious and have no cohesion. But that's nothing new, as he was awarded the first Razzball Worst NBA Coach Razzie. It'd be a wonder if he could do anything right! Yesterday, I said Ramon Sessions might be the best player on that team (and he got a ridiculous 20 minutes to show for it Sunday), and Larry Screw actually paid attention to my advice! Sessions started last night against the Clips, played 44 minutes, making the most of it. Shot a ridiculous 13-21 (2-3 3PTM) for 28/6/7. While this game was nice, and I maintain he's probably the best fantasy asset on the Bucks right now, he's not necessarily the best pickup. The Bucks have only two more games this week, Thursday against the Lakers (which you obviously love) then Sunday against the Heat (not so much). Plus it's the Bucks and we all know how Larry Screwballs can jack things up. I picked him up in one league just to lock down that Thursday game since it's a light slate with only four games. If you can afford to do that, Sessions is your man. Here's what else I saw last night in fantasy basketball action:Please, blog, may I have some more?

Spokesman Murray Dunbar said crews had extinguished the fire "and are waiting to identify the chemicals involved."
Dunbar said the incident had been "escalated to second alarm".
Four fire crews from Levin, Otaki and Waitarere Beach were at the incident.

2014-01-09 - On March, 28th the new SONATA ARCTICA album »Pariah's Child« will be released. It is the band's eight studio album and the follow up to their successful »Stones Grow Her Name«.
Today the beautiful cover artwork for »Pariah's Child« will be released. Vocalist Tony Kakko explains he thoughts behind the album title and the artwork like this:
"As always it's pretty hard coming up with a name for the new baby. I tried to approach it from many angles; how this is our 8th album and how easy it would be to abuse that fact. All the symbolism of figure eight, eternity and so on. But that just did not feel right as it's been done so many times. Then I started to think how we'd in ways abandoned our "totem animal", the wolf and all what comes with the territory. As the music on the album is bowing more towards the "old" Sonata, meaning more power metal style elements and wolves in many of the songs in one form or another, it was clear we need a wolf on the cover. An abandoned wolf. A pariah. Or Pariah's child, actually. The new generation to bring the old logo back."
Right after the release, SONATA ARCTICA will start touring again. Keyboard player Henrik "Henkka" Klingenberg left the following message: "It's been a while since we last toured Europe, so I'm very happy that we can announce our first tour with our new album. Since the album will be out in March 2014, we don't want to waste any time but will head out for a full European Tour. Our tour will start in Eindhoven, NL on April 10th, 2014. The whole band is really looking forward to play some new songs for you and introduce our new bass player, Pasi, for all our fans. He's a monster live, you'll see. Check below for the tourdates and we'll see you in a few months!"

Game 31 Thread - Maholm vs. Hudson
Re: Game 31 Thread - Maholm vs. Hudson
As I mentioned in the last thread, I think theocorp is handling this really well. He was never much of a hitter, in my mind, but Soriano does seem like a class guy, very nice and all.
Letting him go through "injury", which I am assuming is happening, is good stuff.
Re: Game 31 Thread - Maholm vs. Hudson
Sveum is also starting to impress me. I think he might actually mean it when he says results count. It is tough to stay on that philosophy when about 5 of your starters are Triple AAA caliber. But he is doing stuff I'd expect some of you guys to do.
Re: Game 31 Thread - Maholm vs. Hudson
Okay, one more thing. The Cubs are actually looking like a good team. They may suck on many levels, but coaching is huge - in my opinion - and they are a team that I am now trying to watch, rather than avoid.
We have a triple A team competing with the rest of the league. May not last, but it may.
Re: Game 31 Thread - Maholm vs. Hudson
Effing pollyanna...
Re: Game 31 Thread - Maholm vs. Hudson
Feel free to comment.
Re: Game 31 Thread - Maholm vs. Hudson
Watch and learn.
Re: Game 31 Thread - Maholm vs. Hudson
Re: Game 31 Thread - Maholm vs. Hudson
*bangs head on the desk* Wonder how many runs vs outs Castro's aggressive base running has given us.
Re: Game 31 Thread - Maholm vs. Hudson
So what happened there? Gameday just said Castro out at home.
Re: Game 31 Thread - Maholm vs. Hudson
Malholm down to a 1.08 WHIP btw. He's been giving up too many HRs but overall he's been pitching better than his ERA. This is in opposition to James Russel who with a 1.32 WHIP is just begging for an ERA spike soon.
Re: Game 31 Thread - Maholm vs. Hudson
Not as awesome as me. I picked up LaHair during an off-season waivers period, then didn't hang on to him as a keeper prior to the draft.
Re: Game 31 Thread - Maholm vs. Hudson
but you still have danks in your other league right?
Re: Game 31 Thread - Maholm vs. Hudson
You should have dropped them both? :)
Re: Game 31 Thread - Maholm vs. Hudson
lahero strikes again...rbi single hit into the hole of the shift.
Re: Game 31 Thread - Maholm vs. Hudson
LaHair, he of the "I can hit everything they throw at me" Lahair?
You guys are a bunch of nuts
The baseball knowledge is unique.
Re: Game 31 Thread - Maholm vs. Hudson
is there a reason why s.maine is in AAA being their best reliever rather than in the bigs being the cubs best reliever? he's only getting out both lefties and righties...with control...
also, do lendy castillo and mike bowden exist?
Re: Game 31 Thread - Maholm vs. Hudson
Wood will probably go on DL after hurting his arm throwing his glove.
Re: Game 31 Thread - Maholm vs. Hudson
that was boring, yet good...cubs win.
Re: Game 31 Thread - Maholm vs. Hudson
The only question left is whether this Cubs team is the best team in 2012, or best team ever?
Re: Game 31 Thread - Maholm vs. Hudson
Things certainly have changed for the better haven't they.
Re: Game 31 Thread - Maholm vs. Hudson
best-est Cubs team ever?
Re: Game 31 Thread - Maholm vs. Hudson

Re: Game 31 Thread - Maholm vs. Hudson
they gave him one of the "standings flags" for ATL from the outfield flag section. class.
Re: Game 31 Thread - Maholm vs. Hudson
Interesting stat, but a lot of that has to do with timing. This team started bad.
Re: Game 31 Thread - Maholm vs. Hudson
Last time Cubs won a game 1-0: Aug. 3, 2011, @ PIT (W Garza, S Marmol).
This team is a Top-60 reliever away from being a .500 club. Considering what we thought we had, and also who's contributing nothing, that's saying a lot.
Re: Game 31 Thread - Maholm vs. Hudson
This team definitely has issues. Castro and LaHair will realistically both most likely see their stats drop a bit, as will Campana and Dempster. Yet on the other hand, I can also see Soto, Soriano and Stewart batting wise and Malholm and Volstad pitching wise seeing #s get better. We got a team right now pretty out of wack with player career #s both positive and negative, so will be interesting to see which way it goes.
Overall though if Rizzo shows an ability to cut down on strike outs and Castro learns to run the bases better it will be a pretty epic middle of the lineup we have with some excellent top of the rotation pitching.
Re: Game 31 Thread - Maholm vs. Hudson
Castro and LaHair are both stars. The rest I just am waiting for the fall. But Sveum is pretty good to be able to get this crew to be competitive. His not your mother's Qball.
Re: Game 31 Thread - Maholm vs. Hudson
Fredi Gonzalez has some Qball in him ...
"Huddy was outstanding. So much that if he would have come out of the seventh inning with no runs, I was thinking about letting him hit in the eighth, because he was that dominant." ... "We swung the bats well. Even though we didn't score any runs today, I can't complain about our offense. They did a nice job defending us… It seems like we should have won two out of three, especially with Huddy's performance today."
On yesterday's win: "Good team effort. Danny battled to get that two-run single and get us over the top." ... "Freeman's going to go home 0-for-3, 0-for-4, and he hit three balls right on the nose. You can't do anything about that. I thought we all had good at-bats against him. He just kept us off-balance. The old guy – I'm calling Dempster the old guy – he reached back one time and punched out Bourney with 93 [mph]. I think he pitched the whole night at about 88, 89."
Re: Game 31 Thread - Maholm vs. Hudson
Except imo Malhom and Volstad will both get better, as will Wood and Marmol. That doesn't mean they are great pitchers (though I think Malhom has actually been pitching well) but that thing Ryno was talking about with reverting to the mean applies here. They are pitching much worse than career #s and that's just as likely to revert back to a better mean as the good will be to revert back to a worse mean.
/edit not to mention take a look at the career #s of Soto, Soriano and Ian Stewart. Both are way underperforming those #s. If we're going to make the claim our good starting pitching will come back down a bit (which is a realistic point) you also need to accept that way underperforming players will most likely move back to their career mean unless you have nagging injuries. Soriano maybe might see an age drop off, but I just don't see it being this drastic. None of those players most likely will ever be part of a future team, but if we can see an uptick in performance from them and our back 2 pitchers, it will help mask a drop off in performance for our overperforming players.
Re: Game 31 Thread - Maholm vs. Hudson
You think Maholm will get better? He better start clearing off space on a shelf for his Cy Young award.
Re: Game 31 Thread - Maholm vs. Hudson
He's overall pitching well and has a 1.080 WHIP but is giving up too many HRs and I do think he can bring that ERA down a bit. I don't think he's a star or anything but he seems to be a pretty good #4th pitcher.
Re: Game 31 Thread - Maholm vs. Hudson
Which is why I would like to see them make a 4-5 yr commitment to Garza, land a proven #2/#3 starter in the FA market (e.g. Hamels), and hope this Samardzija is the real deal. Having those three plus a Maholm is a good starting point. Would also like to see the obvious trade deadline dumps (Soto, Dempster, Baker) bring back some effective bullpen help for 2012-2013.
The offense (right now) is obviously going to be built around Castro, Rizzo, BJax, Castillo/Clevenger, and LaHair (for as long he continues to hit). Not sure what Theo's plan is for the offense (FA, trades, or wait for the farm system).
Re: Game 31 Thread - Maholm vs. Hudson
Cubs at Brewers: Battling to get OUT of last place...
Re: Game 31 Thread - Maholm vs. Hudson
This team definitely has issues.
Thank you Capt. Obvious :)
Campana is a bunting hit machine. There is no stopping him!
Last night the Braves corners were pulled in guarding against his bunting "magic." The little dude "crushed" a singe to left!
He actually does fuck up pitchers a bit. Its just, he has to have enough OBP accumen to make it worthwhile.
Overall, I am impressed with our starting pitching. I am unimpressed with the two costly bullpen veterans, who have cost the team 5 wins or more.
This team is looking like the 2010 Padres East! (except no "good" Heath Bell, or A. Gonzo)
It would be a hoot if the team can start sniffing .500 again.
Re: Game 31 Thread - Maholm vs. Hudson
did today's game come with a crack cocaine and antidepressant smoothie or something?
there's a bit of glow coming off this game for some reason. 13 wins, 5 away from .500...still crap hitting...still iffy pen. stewart's recent (odd) misplays aside the D is a bit tighter lately.
Re: Game 31 Thread - Maholm vs. Hudson
Just "boring, but good Cubs win."
Nothing more...
Re: Game 31 Thread - Maholm vs. Hudson
here and twitter are blowing up with hope. it's just an odd-ish coincidence after a pretty quick/uneventful game. not trying to poop in anyone's sandbox.
Re: Game 31 Thread - Maholm vs. Hudson
not trying to poop in anyone's sandbox.
Dude, that is gross. Stop doing that!
I am liking the the starting pitching, actually. At least lately. Except for the "Big Funk" Volsted.
I'd like to see them sign Garza. We are going to have to wait until July to find out if its gonna happen.
Re: Game 31 Thread - Maholm vs. Hudson
Ouch. On the other hand, why would you let Matt Bush borrow your truck?
Recent comments
I don't think his issue(s) will have anything to do with it. He hasn't hit since he's been back. Coghlan has the hot hand.
I'm not a denier but definitely a skeptic on Strop and Grimm, who struggle with fastball control. Strop doesn't go near the ninth inning, and note how Grimm couldn't close the deal even with a 5-run lead. So Felix Pena comes in and gets the 3-pitch game-ending strikeout like it was nothing.
And how about Almora missing that very catchable ball? That was unexpected after all the hype about his glove.
When Trea Turner misses balls like that--which he does--I draw conclusions from it. It seems to be the one chink in his armor. But I'll give Almora another chance.
Assuming Soler is good to go, I think it comes down to 3 of the following 4: Coghlan, TLS, Sczcur, Almora. Of the 4, TLS seems to be the hardest to justify, particularly given his behavioral issues.
I'm wondering if both Coghlan and LaStella make it. With Javy being able to play all the infield spots and Joe maybe wanting late-inning D when Soler plays (assuming he plays), hence either Szczur or Almora, I think LaStella might be the odd guy out.
Hendricks needs the win, anyway, plus a couple more.
My hunch is that Hendricks wins the Cy Young . . . for Lester. That is, without Hendricks tipping the scale toward the Cubs, Scherzer tops Lester.
Old Cub fans remember when Ken Hubbs died at 22 in the crash of a small plane he was piloting in a storm in Utah in 1964. But Hubbs was not an elite power pitcher like Score and Fernandez. Score lived a long time after the accident but it was (effectively) career-ending.
HAGSAG: Since I've only seen them throw in one game and in one "live" BP session, all I can do is provide initial first impressions.
Brailyn Marquez is listed at 6'4 but is probably more like 6'5 or 6'6. I would describe him as a younger version of Bryan Hudson, throwing a ton of ground balls but not getting a lot of swings & misses (yet). Because of his size he could eventually grow into more velocity, but right now he's mostly a pitch-to-contact guy. He generally throws strikes.
Phil, do Marquez and Ocampo look like prospects?
It helps when your defense has declared war against the H in WHIP.
Still impressive.
Lackey finishes with a 3.35 ERA. Currently good for 13th in the NL. Not bad for a guy signed to be a #3 starter in a 15-team league.
He is also 6th in WHIP. Pretty amazing: Cubs have the #2, #3, #5 and #6 starters in WHIP.
Completely meaningless game, but Pena striking out Sean the Turd to with the bases loaded was very fun.
Other than one bad game in SD, Pena has been very good. Even with that game, 9.0 IP, 13 K, 0.89 WHIP.
101 wins...most since 1910 (104).
neat. ...or sad. pick one. pick both. 'murica.
Just looked up Grimm's stats -- after a great run, he gave up 2 runs vs. MIL then didn't pitch for 10 days. Don't remember why?
Sean Rodriguez's helmet looks like it's taking a dump
Grimm not doing himself any favors lately re: making the playoff squad. Seems to have lost the feel for his curveball.
j.grimm is literally worse than hitler.
felix pena, your turn.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Preview
(PS3, Wii, XBOX 360)
We check out Harry's sixth year at Hogwarts.
You're reading an E3 2008 preview, which we've broken into three sections to make it easy to sift through during this week of convention madness. Check out E3.1UP.COM for all (meaning words, screens, and videos) of our E3 2008 coverage.
What's new for E3?: This is our first time seeing the game in action since its April announcement, which promised a larger focus on the Wii's motion controls. Instead of showing a big chunk of the game, EA opted to single out three specific aspects of the wizarding action experience for E3: Quidditch (the fictional flying broomstick sport), potion making, and dueling.
What's our take?: We've certainly seen more than our share of forgettable motion controls tacked onto forgettable licensed games since the Wii's launch, but we're fairly impressed by what EA is cooking up with the latest Harry Potter game. The three segments we saw were not particularly enthralling on their own, but as part of a larger, more comprehensive Potter package, EA may have yet another strong franchise entry come November.
Quidditch is back for the first time since Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets in 2002, though it returns as an on-rails, rollercoaster-esque experience in which you guide Harry through hoops in a chase to catch the elusive Golden Snitch. EA says the PlayStation 3 version will utilize the Sixaxis' motion sensors, as well, though Xbox 360 owners will have to make do with the analog stick. As for potion making, it's merely a matter of following the on-screen commands (demonstrated by a series of colored icons) to pick up and pour the various ingredients, while occasionally fanning the flames by drumming the Wii Remote and Nunchuck towards the screen. Dueling is pretty much what you'd expect: A one-on-one battle between Potter and another student in which you can perform various motions to launch light attacks, advanced spells, and defensive maneuvers.
EA promises a full narrative inspired by the film (again, based on the book) with story-based missions, along with a fully explorable 3D representation of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. We're interested to see how it all comes together -- especially on the Wii.
