What Went Right: Post-April Phil HughesBy
The 2011 season was a nightmare for Phil Hughes, who battled shoulder and back injuries after logging a (by far) career-high workload the year before. He came into the 2012 season not necessarily as a virtual lock for the rotation, but he definitely had a leg up on Freddy Garcia for one of the final spots behind CC Sabathia, Ivan Nova, and Hiroki Kuroda. Michael Pineda's shoulder injury took care of the rotation logjam and Hughes had himself a rotation spot.
Phil was terrible in April, but we'll talk about that a little bit later today. Right now we're going to focus on his season starting in May, when he turned things around and became a key cog in the rotation. It all started in Kansas City, a few days after Mariano Rivera blew out his ACL on the warning track. Hughes put together his best start of the season (to date) against the Royals, striking out seven while allowing three runs in 6.2 innings. It wasn't great by any means, but compared to April, he looked like Cy Young.
That start against Kansas City was a jumping-off point for Hughes, who followed up with 7.2 innings of one-run ball against the Mariners and five total runs allowed in his next three starts. The Angels pounded Phil in his hometown in his first June start (seven runs in 5.1 innings), but he rebounded to allow just one run in a complete game win over Justin Verlander and the Tigers his next time out. After that win over the Royals, Hughes allowed no more than two earned runs in eight of his next ten starts and in 14 of his next 20 starts to drop his ERA to 4.02 on the season.
At the end of the year, after logging a career-high 191.1 innings in a career-high 32 starts, Phil posted a 4.23 ERA and 4.56 FIP. His strikeout (7.76 K/9 and 20.3 K%) and walk (2.16 BB/9 and 5.6 BB%) rates were both better than the league average, and his 3.59 K/BB ranked tenth among qualified AL starters. From that start against the Royals through the end of the season, Hughes pitched to a 3.82 ERA (4.26 FIP) with 7.53 K/9 (20.0 K%), 2.07 BB/9 (5.5 BB%), and a 3.64 K/BB in 169.2 innings across 27 starts. He threw a strong start against the Orioles in the ALDS before exiting his ALCS start earlier this a back injury to close out the year.
Was Hughes the ace-caliber pitcher he was promised to be during his prospect days? No, of course not. That ship has all but certainly sailed. That doesn't mean he isn't a valuable contributor though. Hughes was a rock solid mid-rotation starter for the Yankees this season, especially following his disastrous April. He has two big league seasons as a full-time starter in the AL East under his belt (2010 and 2012) and has been roughly league average both times while making a bit under $4M in the process. He could improve going forward, but what he did in the final five months of the season was enough to help the Yankees win another division title.

I think that last paragraph said it all. That being said I am really looking forward to see how Hughes pitches in not only a contract year but coming off from a career high workload, not that one has any sort of impact on the other of course.
2013 will be a huge year for Phil. Free agent after the season, this is his shot to show us (and other teams) what Phil Hughes is the one to expect going forward.
103 career GS and almost 600 innings pitched and you're still confused on who he is?
Um, yes. He's only 26, he spend a year as a reliever, had dealt with several injuries. You really don't think he has any potential to take another step? Or does every age 26 season define someone's career?
Those are his career numbers as a starter with a 4.63 ERA. Given the HR rate, Hughes is not a long-term bet for anything other than middle relief, most especially as he loses mph off his already weak fastball. He's starting at 92 mph. In three years he'll be out of the league given his HR rate.
It's time to stop posting.
Yeah cause that meatball is going to look really good once he loses a tick or two.
92 mph. Good luck with that on a multi-year deal.
He's 26. Why do you think he is going to start losing velocity now? He could be at 92-93 for the next six years and it wouldn't be a surprise. Have you never heard of Greg Maddux? Andy Pettitte?
My point exactly. If Hughes was 30, I would say he is what he is. But he took a big step forward in my opinion this year. Will he improve? Will he regress? Will he end up in the bullpen someday? I don't think anyone can look at Hughes and just say "yeah, we know exactly who he will be for the rest of his career". 2013 will be an important year for him. Can he do what he did in 2012 two years in a row? If he does, his value will go way up.
What are you talking about, clearly a pitcher's performance in their mid to late 20s is indicative of exactly what kind of pitcher they are. Like Cliff Lee when he was 28. He pitched to a 6.29 ERA and was demoted to AAA.
I wonder what happened to that guy.
Some ppl still are.
He looks great at times and bad in other starts. Some fans feel he could end up being a 2 at best going forward while others view him as a back end starter.
Coming off a good year- now is the perfect time to move him. I see it happening this off-season.
Was interested in a Choo/Hughes swap (both have one year left) a while ago but don't know if he's still on the market
They shouldn't even consider that until Pettitte and Kuroda sign.
Phil is the ideal #4 starter which is why it's so important to re-sign Hiroki and Andy. If Phil is a #2 like he was in 2010 it won't work. If Nova is a #2 like he was in 2011 it won't work. These are back end starters and that's the best we can hope from them.
When is it finally going to be make or break for Phil? It seems like going into every year people expect big things from this guy and he shows flashes but that is generally all it he shows. I think what he has shown is who he might be.
Phil's post-April numbers make him look like a possible #3 starter. He's still young and may improve some. If he does, I think there's a possibility he grows into a #2 (increase his strikeout rate and reduce his tendancy to give up HRs). His BB rate is excellent as is his K/BB rate. I certainly hope he puts together a full season similar to what he did post-April this year (for the Yankees. As much as I like him, if he gets traded, i don't care if he implodes.).
Have we heard anything more on his back injury? I suspose it was just a tightening of the muscles and nothing more since there's really been no news on thi.
Funny how you don't bother to mention the HR rate and how that perfectly explains his .5 run diff between ERA and FIP. That's all the difference between Phil as a league average filler and an above average arm. And yet, the HR problem does not seem to be going away.
Time to trade him and sell high.
If you're so bent on Hughes not even being in the league in three years because of him giving up home runs, why do you think you can sell high on him? Don't you think the GMs of other teams know a little more than you?
And regarding Hughes not being in the league because he gives up a lot of home runs, tell that to Bronson Arroyo.
The high FIP isn't pretty, but there are pitchers out there who out perform their peripherals. If Hughes keeps limiting baserunners, the home run rate may not be as dire a situation.
Isn't the correct answer, "no matter what the results say, he still sucks?"

Batista to stay on to face Japan
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina - BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) - Sergio Batista will have at least one extra match in charge to prove himself as Argentina's national team coach.
The country's football association said Friday it will play a friendly against Japan on Oct. 8 in Tokyo. Batista, named interim coach last month to replace Diego Maradona, was in charge for Argentina's 1-0 victory last week over Ireland. He will remain in the post to face World Cup champion Spain on Sept. 7 in Buenos Aires.
The Argentina federation is expected to pick a full-time coach after a selection committee meets in late October. Other candidates include Alejandro Sabella, Carlos Bianchi, Miguel Angel Russo, Claudio Borghi and even Maradona.
The AFA also said it would face Brazil on Nov. 17 in a friendly in Qatar, the final match of 2010.
Argentina has lined up a match on Feb. 9 against England, to be played in Denmark or Norway. It also said it would play against in the United States between March 22-28. Matches would be against the U.S. and perhaps Mexico. Venues were not mentioned.
In another friendly, Argentina will face Italy on June 1. No venue was specified.
Argentina is the host nation for the Copa America, the South American championship which is set for July 3-24. The 10 South American members will be joined by Japan and Mexico.

He announced during his State of the City address that he would not be seeking reelection in 2013, and Vice Mayor Dan Curry subsequently announced he would seek the post. The mayor and several council members threw their weight behind Curry's candidacy.
Nunley has tried to keep up his mayoral duties in the meantime, but has struggled in some instances. Curry has conducted meetings in they mayor's absence on occasion. The city put out an announcement Monday saying that in light of the mayor's health and his continued treatments, a special called meeting will be held at 9 a.m. Wednesday to discuss the mayor's letter of resignation.
Other topics on the agenda include:
- Call for Special Election
- Vice Mayor Role according to the Loganville City Charter

By BILL ARCHER
Bluefield Daily Telegraph
When the Bluefield State College Presidential Selection Committee announced the selection of Dr. Marsha Krotseng to serve as BSC president, Dr. Thomas Blevins slipped off the local radar screen for a while. At the time, Blevins was serving his second hitch as interim president at BSC, but he was also one of three candidates in the running for the presidency.
"We're always really lucky to be here," Blevins, 63, said of his 41-year relationship with his college alma mater. "It isn't like the college doesn't have detractors at the state level."
Indeed, BSC has never really had an easy row to hoe from 1895 when it was founded to meet the educational needs of African-American students from the southern West Virginia coalfields. BSC's first President Hamilton Hatter, had to deal with extreme economic hardships during the Jim Crow era, when the state enjoyed tax revenues from the coalfields, but very little of that trickled back to help the families of the coal miners.
Through the years, BSC has survived economic hard times, efforts to close the college and efforts to merge BSC with Concord University. The college also endured the challenges of integration that boiled over in the fall of 1968 when the physical education building was bombed. Blevins was a sophomore at the time. Like all institutions, BSC has seen its share of presidents. It can be a demanding position, even as an interim president.
"I saw the letters," Blevins said of some letters to the search committee that questioned the integrity of the search process and challenged Blevins' involvement in it. "I chose the high road and decided not to respond. I still choose the high road."
Blevins had been a member of the BSC administration when he accepted the interim position. He was Dean of the School of Education, Dean of the Virtual College and Technology; and professor of education and English. After contemplating his next step, Blevins decided to remain as a part of the school as an online teacher for an Ethnic & Regional Literature course, to stay active in the teacher education accreditation process, to continue serving through the Shott Center for Extended Learning, and to assist with the BSC archives.
Blevins grew up in Maybeury, just a few houses away from McDowell County educators, Georgiana and Betty Robinson. Blevins' father was pastor of the Church of God in Maybeury. He graduated from Northfork High School in 1967, and went to BSC.
"I was a nerd," he said. "I was a good student in high school and was accepted to West Virginia University and Concord University, but I went to BSC." He earned his undergraduate degree in 1971. "Arch Moore was our commencement speaker that year," he said. "The person I loved the most was Betty Robertson. Her claim to fame was that she studied with Robert Frost when she was attending Amherst University. Jerry Beasley and I both knew Betty. I always told him we were each a handshake away from Robert Frost."
Blevins earned his degree in English. He returned home and taught in the McDowell County public schools for six years, and earned his master's degree from Marshall University in 1974. In December of 1976, former BSC President Wade Gilley hired Blevins to catalogue BSC's audio-visual library and repair the equipment. On Aug. 1, 1977, he got the job full time. With the exception of an 11-year period when he worked for the state Higher Education Policy Commission, bringing the state's antiquated online services in step with modern high-tech standards.
The world was changing, and Blevins was on the vanguard of that change in terms of bringing technological savvy to the state and then, brought it back to BSC. He helped his alma mater make the transition into the computer age, and made personal computer workstations available to students in the Wendell G. Hardaway Library at BSC.
Blevins worked with Dr. Krotseng during his time with the Policy Commission. "I know she'll do a good job for the college," he said. "In the next five years, there will be so much change at the college that you won't recognize it from what it is now," he predicted. "Many people who held leadership roles for many years will be retiring, and new people will take their place."
Blevins' colleagues at BSC hosted a retirement reception for him in the Hebert Gallery on Friday that proved to be a heartwarming experience. "It was very validating," he said.
"After the way this all ended, there was a void there," he said. "Seeing the staff at the reception was a validating experience. As I go, I leave a team here at the library technology center that is prepared to meet future challenges. We have a good faculty in teacher education. I'll stay involved. They have my email and phone number.
"I have enjoyed Rotary and I have enjoyed serving on the city board of directors," he said. "I will remain on the board. I like to finish what I start. I told Greg Shrewsbury that the city needs to weather this economic storm. Linda (Mayor Linda Whalen) has done a great job in cleaning up the city, but we don't have a whole lot of money to work with. I told Greg that he has to continue working to promote the city and the city needs to weather this economic storm."
Although Blevins did a great deal to modernize BSC's technology, he still says his greatest joy comes from the students he has taught through the years.
"I have spent so much of my life here," he said. "This place means so much to me. I think people find a niche in life. I think I found my calling when I came here to Bluefield State.
"I have always enjoyed the technology, but when I see the faces of the kids I have taught all of these years, that's still what means the most to me," he said. "I can't always remember their names, but I know their faces and I know exactly where they sat in class. That's what's most important to me," he said.

Snow Days
This Saturday, two local ski resorts will hold street-style and
spring break-style events for snowboarders, skiers and spectators.
Appalachian Ski Mountain and Beech Mountain Resort will host powwows for the snow sport community, with ASM's Red Bull-sponsored ThingamaJIB and the beginning of College Week at Beech Mountain.
The ThingamaJIB is like a skateboard tour for boarders and skiers, as it sets up custom park benches, several 55 gallon barrels fused together to create a barrel bonk, parking stops, handrails, a stair set, a 1,000-gallon propane tank and traffic cones at the terrain park.
A cash prize of $400 will be given to the first-place winner of both open snowboard and ski categories. The open women's prize will be a product package, including ski goggles from Oakley, and the Grom Award will go to the junior category.
The event is free, with only standard lift tickets applying for competitors, which would be $29 for adults, $26 for students and $22 for juniors and seniors.
Spectators will receive a complimentary lift ticket in order to watch from the hill's vantage point.
Registration is the day of at 4 p.m. in the Alpine Ski Shop. The competition starts at 6 p.m.
Last year, the snowboard winner was Kris Jones, and the ski winner was Berkley Wilcox, both of whom "were spinning on and off all the rails and utilizing the whole course," said Appalachian Ski Mountain marketing director Drew Stanley. "They were super creative, landing the jumps and riding away clean."
Technically speaking, that gives "solid intermediate" riders the best chance at winning, but Stanley encourages every experience level to participate, because the event is free and because of the unusual nature of the course.
After several years of discussion and inventing the play on words (jibbing is slang for snowboarding, hence Thingamajib), Red Bull and ASM agreed on a logo design and threw the first Thingamajib last year. The event was attended by about 80 competitors and 80 spectators, and Stanley expects to see more this year.
Three snowboard judges will include Adam Abernathy, who works at Windells Summer Snowboard Camp, and three ski judges will include Mongy Dunlap, Erik Sprinkmann and Josh Pepper, who all have lifetime ski and competition experience and have helped with ASM's Shred for the Cup.
Emcees will be Tyler Atkins and Trucker Adams.
"We want to get riders together as a community," Stanley said. "For spectators, we want them to realize that this sport is exciting and ever changing."

College Week at Beech
Beech Mountain's College Week grants college students 40 percent off regular lift and rental prices. This fresh snow's weekend of DJs, bands and the Bathing Beauty Competition will comprise the coming discounted week.
College Week runs from Friday, Feb. 1, at 8 p.m. to Sunday, Feb. 10, at 10 p.m. For a lift ticket, students should show their ID at the Group Sales office.
For rentals and a lift ticket, preregistration can be made by calling the Beech Mountain Resort group office. A combined lift ticket and rental would be $50 discounted from $94.
On Friday at 8 p.m., a DJ will host a night at the Beech Tree Bar and Grill.
On Saturday, males and females are invited to wear a costumed one-piece or bikini as they cruise the Play Yard Slope. Judged on creativity and outrageousness, students have dressed as bunnies, Avatars and a Coca-Cola crew.
The contest will glide into the night with bands Protegee GT of Charlotte and Demon Waffle of Johnson City, Tenn.
Registration will be held the day of the event from 9 a.m. to noon, and the event will start at 12:30 p.m. A $15 registration fee is required and includes a lift ticket.
First-, second- and third-place winners will receive cash prizes, gift certificates and products from Flow, Scott Sports and Smith Optics.
Last year, 10 people participated in the contest. Because a Florida university has already booked several students, marketing director Talia Freeman expects to see that number increase. More than 500 students eased through College Week last year, and 360 are preregistered for this year.
"We want the whole week to be a fun and relaxed atmosphere – not an overkill of events," Freeman said.

Straight America and his new drinking buddy Clayton went out the night before, got a "little" intoxicated and decided that they wanted to fuck each others' brains out. I, of course, obliged their request, and couldn't wait to see these two hot ass guys fuck like animals on my couch. America looks even better than the last time he was out with a more ripped, tight body and I think an even bigger ass, too. And Clayton has the body of an acrobat-small, muscular, and great legs; along with a nice little assortment of tattoos covering his sexy torso. He's the perfect candidate for getting fucked by a big uncut cock. Clayton, eager to get the action started, takes of America's shorts and starts slurping down his thick shaft. After milking his raging boner long enough, Clayton jumps up on America, cowboy style and starts riding his dick like any great bottom would. Stretching his tight hole up and down America's girthy pole, Clayton swallows up every inch he can possibly take. America gets into a sexed up frenzy, throwing Clayton on his stomach and slams his throbbing hard-on deep inside his hungry ass. Fucking Clayton's ass raw pushes America to the brink and his uncut head spews out a hot load of college boy jizz. Not to be left out, Clayton strokes his own cock and bursts out a creamy, white river of man juice all over his 6-pack!

ZIP Codes - Key Concepts
- ZIP Codes are categories for grouping mailing addresses and are not exact geographic regions.
- The centroid of a ZIP Code may be in one County and the associated city/town in another.
- In rural areas, a single ZIP Code may be used for cities and towns in several different Counties.
- ZIP Code "areas" can overlap, be subsets of each other, or be artificial constructs with no geographic area.
- ZIP Codes are only loosely tied to cities.
1 Keeping the above key concepts in mind, what we informally refer to as the "center" of a ZIP Code is most often actually the centroid of a polygon.

Tanks a Lot
September 21, 2008 7:00 PM
Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution apparently is into "TMZ" for the long haul. This month the distributor is outfitting petroleum tanker trucks with the TMZ logo and the slogan "Keeping Hollywood Real Since 2007" and dispatching them onto Los Angeles' busiest freeways. For two months the tankers will serve as moving billboards for the celebrity-stalking strip, which is entering its second season. WBDTD also has launched a series of TV commercial touting the show's "viewer benefits," in which wannabe celebrities express heartfelt gratitude for the lessons they have learned by watching the real stars' everyday behavior—good, bad or just plain odd—on "TMZ."

- However, the transmission has a tendency to kick down into first gear all too easily, which can make progress around town a little jerky.
- I kept thinking the bike was going to stall as the revs dropped, and rather than kicking down a few gears, rolling off the throttle, and using a bit of brake to go around a corner, I had to use the brakes alone to slow me down.
- You get the odd hairy moment when coming over a ridge and round a corner at the same time as the car kicks down a gear and opens the throttle to maintain its speed.

Antarctica Travel
Discover the Southern Ocean
- Falkland Islands
- Often referred to simply as "the Falklands," these islands are an archipelago in the Southern Atlantic Ocean, located 300 miles from the coast of mainland South America. The capital, Stanley, is located in the East Falklands, while the West Falklands is a scantily populated wildlife haven.
- South Georgia
- This remote island is home to thousands of birds and marine life, though it is just as well-known for Ernest Shackleton's historic crossing in 1916, in which he covered 22 miles overland to reach help for his stranded expedition party.
- Ushuaia
- Ushuaia is the capital of Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. Widely regarded as the southernmost city in the world, picturesque Ushuaia is located in a wide bay, bounded on the north by the Martial mountain range and the Beagle Channel on the south.
- South Shetland Islands
- The South Shetland Islands lie just north of the Antarctic Peninsula. Highlights include Half Moon Bay, Penguin and Deception islands, and a visit to a scientific research station. The cruise to these islands includes crossing the breathtaking Lemaire Channel.
- Deception Island
- This island's forbidding name belies its reputation — for years, it has been considered a safe island for refuge from storms and icebergs. The waters are calm enough that you may have a chance to swim along the historic black beach of Whalers Bay. An abandoned hangar and scientific research buildings also dot the island.
- Antarctic Peninsula
- The northernmost part of mainland Antarctica, this peninsula boasts stunning vistas of soaring peaks, towering glaciers and drifting icebergs. Shore excursions include Neko Harbour with coastlines teeming with nesting gentoo penguin.
Past the rim of geographical discovery, we felt our way forward, scanning, scanning the radiant horizon for the secrets it might at any moment yield. Above the gray flooring a white cliff, seeming without end, slowly emerged. About 10 o'clock another monstrous ice structure tempted us. We altered course to approach it. This time, I was taken in. For a long time that gleaming dome with its sheer cliffs held a tantalizing promise.
Antarctica was just chosen by Travel + Leisure as a Trip of a Lifetime, with A&K named one of the best travel companies operating in the White Continent.
Why Travel to Antarctica with Abercrombie & Kent?
Other tour operators merely help you travel to Antarctica.

TSJ is good buds with our "Girl on Girl" correspondent, Jessica Vaugn. And we were happy to get to know her even better when she sent us this fine, fine video. Our interview, below.
But don't forget to watch the vid…
The Smoking Jacket: When did you shoot this video? How long did it take to put together?
Jessica Vaugn: I shot this video in October with my buddy Eric, GEA Photo! We shot all day to produce this video material. I plan outfits the week before and other details have to be thought about prior to filming. The music was Eric's choice, I think he did a great job finding music to fit the energy of the video and putting it all together in an upbeat and sexy final product.
TSJ: What's the sexiest part of the video do you think?
JV: I personally love how my white jeans are half on half off… I don't really know what's so interesting about that for me, but, really digging it in this video!!
TSJ: How do you get yourself in the right mood for sexy pics? Music? A good rapport with the photographer?
JV: I have rules to produce good photos and videos. I cannot be either cold, tired, or hungry. I make myself sleep a full night prior, have my protein and caffeine on set, and do my best to have a temperature-regulated environment. I know what things make me distracted or uncomfortable so I work hard to avoid these obstacles to my success.
It also really helps to like the way I look going into a photo or video shoot. I wear clothes and lingerie the properly flatter my body and I get my hair and makeup just the way I want it to feel my best on set! I'm on the fussier side of these details but that is because I aim to make magic 100 percent of the time and know what works for me.
High energy music definitely helps me keep moving. Without it, it can be easy to run out of things to do with myself while filming on a white wall! I've known the photographer/videographer for about three years and we are friends after all this time… that always helps when wanting to produce a sexy end result.
You cannot think there are not negative consequences, even if they are subtle, with a girl working with someone she doesn't trust or picks up vibes that person is trying to take advantage of them. I'm lucky to really enjoy the photographers close to me!
TSJ: Are you going to start making more vids/featuring them with us on TSJ? We hope so!
JV: For sure! A lot goes into making them so I only make a few a year but I will always share them with TSJ readers!

Silica, Silicosis and Cancer Controversy in Occupational MedicineAuthor:
Goldsmith, David F., Winn, Deborah W., Shy, Carl M.
Pub Date: 1985
Publisher: Greenwood Publishing Group, Incorporated
Summary: Physicians and industrial hygienists in the U.S. and Europe have assumed that silica, a known toxic dust which causes diseases such as silicosis and corpulmonale, does not cause cancer. However the evidence presented in this volume, drawn from a 1984 symposium on the subject of silica and cancer, suggests that there is a strong link between cancer and silica in the workplace. This book discusses the full range of wor...k being done on silica and cancer, including a history of studies on the silica-cancer relationship; experiments describing the carcinogenic effect of silica on animals; up-to-date reports on the risks of lung cancer; the need for protective measures against particulate exposure, and epidemologic research on workers in the so-called dusty trades. Silica, Silicosis and Cancer also offers suggestions for changes and regulation of industries using silica. [read more]

rooftop late-nite dinner +fireworks view in Mpls?
Good afternoon trusty chowhounds,
I had this wonderful idea (as I am sure many of you did too!) of eating a leisurely dinner, with some wine, on a rooftop restaurant patio, and finishing just in time for some wonderful 4th of July fireworks.
I am looking for some recommendations from local chowies re: a good place to both dine and view the display.
Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks in advance, and a happy holiday to you all!
I'd imagine that Stellas or the Uptown Cafeteria would be good viewing spots for all of the fireworks that go off in the area between starting around 9:30 or 10. Note that I'm only commenting on the quality of the viewing and not the food. Neither place's food is especially bad, but I would not recommend either place as a meal destination in and of itself.

A lot of midwifes and mothers swear on the healing effects of amber for ages. It helps babys while teething, but also is told to give relief on allergy, neurodermatisis, asthma and many more complaints.
Our amber babynecklaces are singleknoted by hand, so even if the necklace should wrench the complete necklace is not teared apart. Another advantage is, that the lock is made from synthetic material and not from metall and is very easily locked or opened.

Rootsfest in Valle Crucis
Rootsfest will look to leave a lasting impact in Valle Crucis
during its inaugural run this weekend.
The family-oriented fun day will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, June 15, at Valle Crucis Community Park.
The community bash will feature live music, arts and crafts, and food vendors.
Children's activities will primarily consist of face painting, carnival games and a bounce house.
Activity tickets are $1 each, but an unlimited activities wristband costs $15.
Event organizers are hoping the fundraiser will become an annual event.
"The idea for the event began primarily as a fundraiser for the park," park director Caroline Gandy said. "This is the kind of event we have been wanting to do for a long time."
The park also hosts a summer concert series that serves as a fundraiser for the park's operating costs.
Saturday's music lineup features several notable acts, including the Todd Wright Trio (11:15 a.m.), Carolina Crossing (12:30 p.m.) and The Sheets Family (1:45 p.m.).
Parking is $5 per car. Overflow parking will be in the parking lot of the Valle Crucis School.
"I think this will be a great event for people of all ages," Gandy said. "It's definitely great for family. The parents will have live music and vendors, but there will be a lot of stuff for the kids to do, as well."
Valle Crucis Community Park is located at 2892 Broadstone Road in Valle Crucis. For more information, call (828) 963-9239 or visit http://www.vallecrucispark.com.

Re-Defining a Category - 90 Points for Ponzi Pinot Gris from Wine Review Online
Posted Wed, July 23, 2014 in All Posts, Recent Press
The aroma of the 2013 Ponzi Pinot Gris is fairly pronounced and complex, with gentle notes of lime, white peach, and a delicate floral scent. The wine's taste is dry and medium-bodied with crisp acidity and the perkiness of a small amount of CO2 that remains from fermentation. Fresh fruit flavors echo the notes in the aroma while lemony flavors emerge -- all showing good concentration....By Mary Ewing-Mulligan/Wine Review Online
2011 Ponzi Pinot Noir Reserve Receives 92 Point Score

"Deep red. Pungent red berry, cherry pit, wilted rose and sassafras scents, with hints of vanilla and woodsmoke in the background. Shows very good clarity and lift on the palate, offering juicy redcurrant, bitter cherry and floral flavors that flesh out and gain sweetness in the mid-palate. Sappy, smoky and focused on the finish, which features dusty tannins and a whiplash of vibrant red fruit and floral pastille qualities." Josh Raynolds, July/August 2014
Ponzi Founders Named Two of Oregon's Iconic Winemakers
Posted Mon, July 21, 2014 in All Posts
Ponzi was our last visit of the day, and we took our time at Maria and Louisa Ponzi's wonderful new winery and tasting room. They earned a reputation as one of the best producers in the valley after they planted their first vineyards in 1970 and produced their first wine in 1974, and these wines solidify it. One of the winery's flagships is their Pinot Gris. You can get a sense of the entire vintage by tasting just this one wine every year. In the 2013 Ponzi Willamette Valley Pinot Gris ($14.99) you get the bright tangy apple and pear flavors of the vintage after the rains and the richer...

Back when these rumors were hot, the h2200 was going to fill the void currently occupied by the h1910. Now it seems the h2200 will fit somewhere in between the h1910 and h5450. This is a great move in my book. The 5450 is too much PDA for most, the same story for the NZ90 on the Palm side. PDA Manufacturers have done a great job of playing the high end and low end, but the middle ground now has a lot of demand. We're seeing Sony create a unit for everyone and now HP looks to get into the action...good move.
Pocketnow has posted inside information as follows -
* It will be the 2200 Series
* Integrated Compact Flash and SDIO slot (Finally!)
* 400MHz XScale Processor
* 16-bit Color with Transreflective TFT
* Built in Bluetooth
* Slightly larger than 1900 series from a thickness and screen but not by much (it was very light)
* Base model will come with 64MB Ram and a higher model will come with 128MB Ram, I did not get a chance to ask about ROM
* There is a replaceable battery
* It will offer both Landscape and Standard view without a soft reset!
* Black grips on the side for a very secure hold
* They did not integrate 802.11 because an SDIO card is due in June/July that will provide this functionality
* It will run on the new Microsoft operating system (this is the reason for the release date in June/July)
* It will not fit existing accessories
* A future model will have a keyboard that slides from the back and automatically changes the view to Landscape (it was described as coming from the right side of the iPaq)
* A phone option should be available "in the future"
* It will be between $300-$400 but expect it just under $400
Of course, as news leaks out, we'll keep you posted. Hopefully we'll get some love from the FCC soon!

Woodlawn rallied to force overtime in Wednesday's 1A regional semifinal against Galatia-Thompsonville but lost 59-55 in overtime.
"I couldn't be any more proud of the effort we gave," Woodlawn coach Matt Patterson said. "We were down seven and struggling and really came out and gave a good effort in that second half."
Woodlawn trailed 39-36 going into the final quarter. The Lady Cardinals held the Lady Cats scoreless for six minutes to take a slim advantage. Taytum Murdock hit a free throw and added a 3-pointer to give Woodlawn a 40-39 lead.
Woodlawn clung to its advantage until late in the final period. With less than a minute to go in the game, Murdock added another free throw to put Woodlawn up 46-42.
"That little run there, holding them scoreless really gave us a chance," Patterson said.
The game stayed close until the final seconds. Galatia took possession of the ball down two. It ended up in Elizabeth Sloan's hands as the final seconds ticked down. Sloan banked in a shot to send the game into overtime.
Woodlawn opened the extra session with a 3-pointer from Murdock, but Galatia battled back.
With the game tied, Galatia's Emily Reed canned a long-range shot to give the Lady Cats a 57-54 edge. Woodlawn never got closer.
After a close opening period, Galatia took control in the second and claimed a 24-17 halftime edge. The Lady Cats pushed the advantage to double figures in the third quarter.
Allison England led Woodlawn with 17 points, and Murdock added 11.
Woodlawn struggled from the free throw line in the game, hitting 18 of 35 attempts.
"We had tons of chances in that fourth quarter," Patterson said. "And some of it was fatigue. We played so hard to get back in and kind of get ahead."

It always amazes me when I meet people who are resistant to change. In many ways, that's like being resistant to life itself. You see, life is a growing experience, and growing, by definition, involves change. In essence, no change means no growth because the two are actually synonymous.
If you look back on your life, I think you will discover that you have been reinventing yourself from the beginning. When you were a child you saw a vision of the future based on your limited knowledge and experience. You may have said that you wanted to be a fireman or a ballerina when you grew up, well…
Did you become your childhood vision?
Chances are, you did not grow up to fulfill your childhood vision of yourself. Why not? Probably because by the time you were a teenager, you had completely reinvented yourself. You had acquired new knowledge and had new experiences. Your whole perception of the world and your place in it had changed.
Instead of seeing life from a child's point of view, you were beginning to see things as a young adult. You were no longer the same person. Wouldn't it have seemed ridiculous not to change at that point? Of course it would, because growth requires change.
What happened next?
By your mid twenties you had probably reinvented yourself again. Why? Same reasons as before, more knowledge and experience. In other words, you grew into a new and different version of yourself.
Now, let me ask you this, at what stage do you imagine that this process stops? When does the need to reinvent ourselves cease to exist? If you have followed my reasoning so far, you will see that there is only one answer to this question. The need to reinvent ourselves only stops when our personal growth and development stop!
You cannot have growth without change!
When you take in new knowledge and implement it, it changes you. When you have new experiences and learn from them, it changes you. Whenever you act on what you learn it's called growing. So as long as we continue to grow, we will need to reinvent ourselves periodically.
When we resist this process it can have a very negative effect on our sense of joy and our enthusiasm for life. If we know that we need to make a change and yet refuse to do so, it creates internal conflict. That means that our resistance has put us at cross purposes with our inner self.
Don't be afraid to reinvent yourself
When we reinvent ourselves it's like multiplying our knowledge base and perspective. It allows us to consider things from several different angles. We don't give up our former self, we simply add another dimension.
For example, to be successful in marriage we can't keep the same mentality we had when we were single. We need to reinvent ourselves and adopt a completely different point of reference. But we can still relate to the thinking of a single person. We didn't lose that ability, we added to it. We became more multidimensional than we were before.
Enjoy life, embrace change!
I can't count the number of times I have reinvented myself during my life. As a result, life has been an amazing and exciting adventure. This is a common thread that seems to flow through the field of personal development. If you pay attention to the personal stories of others in this niche, you will notice that they all reinvent themselves periodically.
Every time we add a new dimension to our lives we gain knowledge, insight, and experience. Over the course of a lifetime that becomes a deep well to draw from. There is a richness of wisdom that can only come through experience. That's a richness we can never know unless we learn to embrace change.
How have you reinvented yourself over the years?
Are you comfortable or uneasy with change?
The lines are open!

Project Manager Overview
A Project Manager is responsible for managing the resources of large projects. For Tech Careers, can mean managing large Software Development projects, Networking projects, IT installations or conversions, or any other function where business and technology needs have to be managed and resources have to be coordinated.
The Project Manager is responsible for making sure a project is completed within a certain set of restraints. These restraints usually involve time, money, people and materials. The project must then be completed to a certain level of quality.
Project Managers usually use Project Management Software to help keep track of resources and project deliverables (or outputs). This software helps document the project objectives, status, time lines and expected outcomes. Current popular project management software products include:
Project Managers usually have a degree and several years of experience in their field of expertise. Ideally, a Project Manager will have additional Project Management Training, such as a certification through the Project Management Institute.
Becoming a Project Manager
In Technology Careers, a Project Manager is often promoted from the individual contributor ranks. Most technical companies prefer to hire Project Managers that have worked in a similar technical environment and can appreciate the complexities that are usually involved.
Becoming a project manager can be a good way to take on management responsibilities while staying current in development. Taking classes or becoming certified in project management is a good way to branch into this field.
Project Manager Career Path
There are various levels of Project Management, and differences between the size and scope of projects to manage. A Project Manager may be promoted to larger projects. A good project manager will often, given enough experience, be eligible for promotion to a senior role, such as a Group Manager or a Group Director.
Companies Hiring Technical Project Managers:
- Microsoft Corporation
- Sun Microsystems
- Cisco Systems
- Oracle Corporation
- Apple Computers
- Intuit
- Adobe
- Amazon.com
- eBay
- Qualcomm
Project Managers are in high demand, especially those with a technical background. Check out the best places to work listings for other great companies to research.

Prison Camp's premier wall features hard sport and traditional lines on slightly overhung water-polished stone. While the routes are a short fifty feet they tend to be full value. The slippery nature of the rock, powerful initial moves, and sometimes sporty bolting may be off-putting to some; nevertheless, this unique wall should not be missed by those climbing at the grade.
Getting There
Follow the dry riverbed past the Dragon Tower and Guard Tower. When you reach the Cell Blocks bypass the riverbed drop-off by travelling either to the left or right. Moving up and left past the Mr. Meanor Wall will lead you to the base of the sector; Moving up and right provides toprope access to many of the anchors. If you choose to toprope yield to lead climbers, watch for people below, and be careful setting up anchors.

This morning it was announced on ESPN radio that San Diego was interested in moving Jake Peavy. The Fathers are looking to rebuild quickly and feel that moving the superstar pitcher could bring a couple of good major league players and a couple of top prospects.
Wouldn't he look good in blue next year? Imagine the current Cub rotation in some combination along with Peavy. The possibilities could be great. I don't know if the Cubs have the stones or the players to do a deal but it's worth discussing. What do you think?
