Zakk Wylde is hoping to play and record a live version of Black Label Society's semi-unplugged album featuring guest stars Slash and Jerry Cantrell.
The guitarist is revelling in the acclaim generated by The Song Remains Not the Same, a semi-official BLS release containing acoustic-based versions of his own tracks and some of his favourite cover versions.
And if he can find the time, he'd love to make a DVD based on the album.
Wylde tells Music Radar: "I'm so happy with it I can't stop looking at myself in the mirror… It's cool. If you want something mellow, a break from the slammin' stuff, this is a great record to vibe out to. Sit back and drift away.
"I've got some touring to do and we'll be out for a while, and after that we'll get back to doing another Black Label record. But I might do an 'un-blackened' DVD next – something with strings and a bunch of friends like Father Cantrell, Slash, all my buddies.
"If I can tear myself away from the mirror, I'll get to everything."
With a title based on the Led Zeppelin movie The Song Remains the Same, BLS' follow-up release to Order of the Black features Wylde playing piano and synth strings on ten tracks, including a new interpretation of Simon and Garfunkel classic Bridge Over Troubled Water.
He jokes: "I'm worried Paul Simon is going to jump me in a back alley and bludgeon me if he's not happy with what I did to his song. I heard he's highly trained in jeet kune do – you don't want to mess with Paul. And Art Garfunkel: word is he's a formidable pro in the art of monkey claw, a deadly form of kung fu. This could get pretty nasty, man."
More seriously the axeman observes: "Probably all my favourite bands have done mellow stuff from time to time. Zeppelin did all kinds of acoustic stuff. When I was with Ozzy Osbourne we did Mama, I'm Coming Home – people thought we were crazy and we were going all soft."
And he says Osbourne has given his approval to BLS' calmed-down version of Black Sabbath track Junior's Eyes: "I sent it to him last Father's Day. He was like, 'It sounds killer, man.' He totally loved it."

This year's EAA AirVenture started out cloudy, cool and gloomy, but the weather soon matched the crowd's upbeat outlook and the entire week was marked by comfortable low humidity and moderate temperatures.
Light-sport aircraft
Although the company still needs capital to begin full-scale production, Canadian light plane manufacturer SAM Aircraft has reason to celebrate this week at EAA AirVenture 2013. Transport Canada granted approval earlier this month of the SAM LS light sport aircraft in the Advanced Ultralight class.
"We worked very hard to be sure that everything was done in conformance with both the [American] LSA and Transport Canada rules and quality standards," said SAM Aircraft president Thierry Zibi. "We are happy to see that the SAM LS flies to our expectations."
Icon Aircraft, manufacturer of the in-development amphibious A5 Light Sport Aircraft (LSA), announced at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh today that the FAA has granted an exemption for a gross weight increase for the A5 to accommodate added safety features, including a spin resistant airframe (SRA). Under Exemption Number 10829, the A5's allowable takeoff weight will increase up to 1,680 pounds, though the initial production A5 will weigh 1,510 pounds, according to the Los Angeles-based company.
Oshkosh, Wis.-based Sonex Aircraft opened the order book on July 28 for the smallest, lightest and lowest-cost jet-powered airplane–the $125,000 SubSonex single-seater. The tiny jet will be sold as a nearly completed kit, and the price includes everything except paint and avionics.
Activity in the light sport aircraft (LSA) arena is heating up, with more pilots trying the many modern aircraft spawned by this new category which was enacted by the FAA in 2004. While LSAs include a variety of aircraft types such as fixed-wing airplanes, powered parachutes, weight-shift-control aircraft, balloons, gliders, airships and gyroplanes, much of the LSA development has focused on the basic two-seat light sport airplane.
One of the most eagerly anticipated demonstrations at this year's EAA AirVenture Oshkosh show is the first publicly planned flight of the Terrafugia Transition flying car. "This is the first public display of the Transition doing its thing," said Richard Gersh, vice president of business development for Woburn, Mass.-based Terrafugia, although the company did host an invitation-only flight demo at Lawrence Airport near Boston last October.
Maybe for general aviation to survive, we need more disruption. An article published in Wired magazine (Clayton Christensen Wants to Transform Capitalism, by Jeff Howe) discussed how successful companies often fail to recognize that new companies with "disruptive innovations" are about to take over their marketplace.
There is only a little time left to comment on a petition for exemption from the third-class medical requirement for pilots flying recreationally. The exemption petition was submitted to the FAA by the Experimental Aircraft Association and the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, and the comment period closes on July 2. As of June 25, there were more than 3,300 comments, but the more comments received, the more the FAA might pay attention.
A broad-based and international FAA-industry committee is working to simplify Part 23 of the Federal Aviation Regulations in a way that doubles aircraft safety while reducing costs by as much as 50 percent.
The potential new rules will also serve as a new international set of standards for aircraft weighing less than 12,500 pounds.
It is testament to how seriously the China market takes its fledgling general-aviation industry that key players from the China Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) took to the stage for one of the conference sessions here at the ABACE show yesterday.

How about that eh? I found no reference to any problem like this online, but I found a fix myself so I'm posting it in case some unfortunate soul encounters the same problem. It's really quite easy.

If I had a magic phone it would turn into underpants.
So Google aren't building a GPhone afterall : http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2007/11/wheres-my-gphone.html
Instead they have been working on a Linux based, open mobile platform called Android.
Android is the first truly open and comprehensive platform for mobile devices. It includes an operating system, user-interface and applications — all of the software to run a mobile phone, but without the proprietary obstacles that have hindered mobile innovation.
Google haven't been alone in this venture. The Android platform has been developed in cooperation with the Open Handset Alliance which includes some big players in the mobile industry like Motorola, T-Mobile, HTC and Qualcomm.
There will be an Android SDK available for this some time next week, but don't expect to see any handsets running this OS till mid next year. I'm excited to see what comes from this. Over and over we have seen that truly innovative and useful applications from an unhindered development community. They sky's the limit with Android powered phones.
An absolute market leader, startlogic, has blown the industry of business hosting with its incredible service and hosting solutions. The company has been rated as the number one for the whole one quarter in the webhosting reviews. The close competitor and an equally credible name, lunarpages hosting service has captured the customer segment big enough to dominate the market in the coming days in the efforts to mark its name as the best web hosting service.
The 100% Easy-2-Read Standard
I have a little bit of time for reading in work today.
I was going through the Information Architects Notebook when I came accross this post : 'The 100% Easy-2-Read Standard'.
It's a must read for any web designer. These are simple rules to follow and can help your designs instantly. It should be common sense but examples of designers shooting themselves in the foot are just everywhere.
iPod Touch or iPhone, I'm going mad.
So my girlfriend won an iPod Touch in work a while back. Naturally I was more excited than she was at the news, and when I proceeded to explain why the iPod Touch was so cool, she didn't really get it.
The iPod came in the post just last week, and we (I've) been playing with it since. She gets it now. My father picked it up and found his way around with very little help, Even my 60yr old Uncle found it to be incredibly intuitive. I'm totally impressed. I love that it's slimmer than the iPhone too. The UI is so smooth and quick it's an absolute pleasure to use. For those of you who have only had the Apple experience through the likes of iPod, using an iMac gives you the same satisfaction every time, go and buy one of those too!
Anyway, I find myself wondering which product do I really want. A jailbroken iPod Touch with the iPhone apps installed is only missing the phone and camera. I could live with that, I have a phone with a camera that I'm quite satisfied with (Nokia 6234). I'm not sure how well the iPhone works handsfree in the car either, can you get loudspeaker over an iTrip?
I think to be honest I would go for an iPhone if it was readily available here in Ireland right now. As it's not I have two options; pay €999 for a sim free one from France; or get one in from the US and unlock it, voiding my warranty and causing me to hesitate at any software update.
Feck it, I want an iPhone, I want it now. But it seems like I can't have it. So for now I might have to settle for the iPod Touch. Decisions suck.
After buying a domain name and building your website comes the step of choosing the best web hosting service for your site. Good options of the various hosting providers are lunarpages that is reliable and economical and startlogic with exceptionally good up time, There are certain service providers that provide some additional services like email , special prices and bulk packages, along with a cheap hosting site. An exhaustive list of the best hosting providers can be found in the latest edition of the local web hosting service review.
Johnnypez v3.0 ish?
Having moved house nearly 3 months ago, I finally got my broadband connection up and running yesterday. Many thanks to Esat BT for getting that up and running very quickly once Eircom had got the finger out and connected my phone line. I have to mention that I had a very good experience with Esat BT's broadband sales and support staff and I would recommend them to anyone.
Being back online allowed me to scratch an itch that had been bothering me for ages. The look of this site was desperate. So after a couple of hours last night and half of today, here it is. A brand new look. I hope you all* like it.

How to make your iMac Crash
I've have my iMac (Intel core2 duo 2.16ghz, 2gb, OSX 10.4.10) for about 6 months now and I made it crash for the first time last night.
One crash in 6 months is feckin' brilliant as far as I'm concerned, my love for my Mac grows greater each day
How did I manage to crash it? Trying to start Windows XP in Parallels while in the middle of printing something, I guess it caused some sort of conflict over ownership of the USB?
Anywho, won't be trying that again.

Attack of the Clones!
Via TUAW:
I was having my usual morning scan through TUAW when I saw this. It looks pretty cool.
Ok it looks freakishly 'similar' to an iPhone. In fairness if this was an animal it would be Dolly the Sheep. I was reading the comments and there are mixed views over this. It is a blatant copy. Nokia's Exec VP is quoted as saying "If there is something good in the world then we copy with pride." I think I agree with him. Apple have redefined the mobile handset. The rest of the industry now has to catch up.
Eventually all the major manufacturers will probably have something that looks like an iPhone. Most mobile phones are essentially the same unil now because until now they have been the most efficient form. That has changed and the other manufacturers need to catch up. So I guess my point is don't be angry when you see other companies taking Apple's lead. They recognise that Apple beat them at their own game and has shown them the future. This will lead to a wider variety of better handsets. A little competition for the iPhone will drive prices down a bit too, that's always a good thing. Bring on the iPhone clones I say!
Make your own Multitouch interface!
Now this is just too cool. I'd imagine something like this wouldn't be too hard to prototype with Processing.

Light airborne multi-purpose system (LAMPS) III Block II helicopter.
As a result of the Navy's Helicopter Master Plan program, the decision was made to reduce the number of helicopter types then in service with the Navy from seven to two. Under the HMP, the missions and capabilities of the Navy's primary ASW helicopters, the SH-60B and the SH-60F, would be combined into a single airframe, the MH-60R Seahawk.
Beginning in 1998, existing SH-60B/F helicopters were to be rebuilt to the new MH-60R standard, which, in addition to equipping them with more advanced systems, as well as the MH-60 common "glass cockpit" design, would also increase the aircraft life by an additional 10,000 hours. Unfortunately, concerns over cost caused this idea to be dropped in 2000 after seven remanufactured aircraft were ordered, with all subsequent MH-60R helicopters entering service as new build airframes. The Navy has requested a total of 252 MH-60Rs, with complete delivery by 2015.
The first production MH-60R was delivered to the Navy (HSL-41) in December of 2005. Though the Navy is currently taking delivery of new MH-60R aircraft, the Seahawk "Romeo" is not expected to go operational in the fleet until 2008.
Airframe and general capabilities
The MH-60R Seahawk is a twin-engined medium lift utility helicopter configured for ASW operations. It is equipped with a single 4-bladed rotor and a single 4-bladed tail rotor. The basic crew compliment for the MH-60R is four; pilot, co-pilot/ATO, an enlisted tactical sensor operator (TSO) and an enlisted acoustic sensor operator (ASO). The MH-60R can accommodate 3 additional passengers in a personnel transport capacity.
The MH-60R was designed to encompass all the mission responsibilities and system capabilities of both the SH-60B and SH-60F helicopters. As such its responsibilities include Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW), Anti-Surface Warfare (ASuW), Anti-Ship Surveillance and Targeting (ASST), VRETREP (vertical replenishment), communications relay, CSAR, and SOFS (special operations forces support.)
Externally, the MH-60R is very similar in appearance to the SH-60B. The Seahawk "Romeo" is equipped with a reward sliding and lockable door on the right side of the cargo compartment with an externally mounted 600-pound rescue hoist located above this door. As with the earlier Seahawks, the Romeo is equipped with a centrally mounted external cargo hook rated to 6,000 pounds. External weapons and auxiliary systems are mounted on a pair of weapon pylons mounted aft of the cargo/crew compartment. The right-hand wing will accommodate a single weapon or external fuel tank, while the left-hand pylon will accommodate two weapons.
The MH-60R utilizes the same shortened and reinforced landing gear arrangement as the SH-60B. In addition, like the SH-60B, the Romeo is RAST (Recovery, Assist, Secure, and Traversing) equipped, which enables the Seahawk to be recovered in sea state 5 (33 kt. winds, 13' swells, 6 degrees of pitch, 15 degrees of roll) conditions. The Romeo is capable of hovering, in-flight refueling and for shipboard storage the Seahawk features an automated main rotor blade folding system and manually folding tailplane.
The MH-60R carries 25 sonobuoys which are ejected pneumatically from the left hand side of the helicopter.
The Romeo is equipped with a 360-degree surface search radar located in an enclosed fairing underneath the nose of the aircraft, between the front wheels.
As with the MH-60S Knighthawk the MH-60R uses the MH-60 common "glass cockpit" design which was introduced with the UH-60L. This system replaces most of the analog aircraft instruments with four active matrix liquid crystal color displays and dual programmable operator keysets. In addition, the cockpit is fully NVG compatible, which will enable the aircrew to effectively operate the helicopter in low visibility conditions.
The MH-60R is equipped with two navalized General Electric T700-GE-401C variants rated to 1,800 shp. Internal fuel capacity totals 590 gallons, and the helicopter can be equipped with two pylon mounted auxiliary tanks rated to 120 gallons each.
Flight characteristics
The empty weight of the MH-60R is 13,648 pounds, while the mission take off weight is 22,420 pounds (ASW), 21,650 pounds (ASuW) and the maximum take off weight is 23,500 pounds. The external cargo carrying capacity (cargo hook) is 6,000 pounds.
The maximum level speed of the MH-60R is 136 knots (154 miles per hour) while the dash speed is 145 knots (164 miles per hour.)
The MH-60R is equipped with VHF-FM, UHF-FM, VHF-AM/FM, and SATCOM radios, as well as encrypted IFF recognition system and the LN-100G GPS/INS navigation system.
For ASW/ASuW operations, the MH-60R is equipped with an AN/APS-147 multimode surface search radar, mounted in an enclosed "button" fairing under the nose, which has 360 degrees of coverage. The Seahawk is also equipped with the AN/AQS-22 airborne low frequency dipping sonar linked to an AN/UYS-2A Enhanced Modular Signal Processor for processing acoustical data from the sonar and sonobouys.
For target acquisition and tracking, the MH-60R is equipped with an AN/AAS-44 Infrared Laser Detecting/Ranging/Tracking set.
For self defense the Seahawk is equipped with an AN/ALQ-210 Electronic Support Measures (ESM) system. Though not considered standard equipment, the MH-60R can be outfitted with the AN/ALQ-144 infrared countermeasures system and the AN/ALE-39 chaff/flare dispenser.
The MH-60R is equipped with three external weapons stations, one on the right side of the aircraft, and two on the left. The Romeo can carry up to three Mk 50 Mod 0 ASW torpedoes or eight AGM-114M Hellfire anti-ship missiles. For self defense the MH-60R can be equipped with a single pintle mounted machinegun on the right hand side of the aircraft. This weapon can either be 7.62mm (M240) or .50 caliber (GAU-16/A.)

We are still working to obtain content for your car,
however the video above is believed to have similar characteristics as your car.
This video shows you how to change the oil and oil filter in your 1995 Honda Civic. When you change your own oil, you know that you are putting quality oil in your Civic and that the filter is being changed too. Most importantly, you get a chance to look around under your Civic for potential trouble spots. This video shows you the location of your oil drain plug, oil filter, oil fill cap and dipstick in addition to the steps needed to change the oil and filter in your Civic. For most Hondas, you can wrap an old belt around the oil filter and unscrew it by hand. If you can't do this, see our parts page to find a Honda Civic oil filter wrench. If your Civic is too low to the ground to access your drain plug and oil filter, be sure to use jack stands and safe jacking procedures before getting under your Civic.
Most Hondas have the oil type printed on the oil cap - it will likely be 5W-20, 5W-30, 5W-40, 10W-30 or 10W-40. If it isn't printed on the oil cap, check your owners manual for the exact type before adding new oil. We recommend wearing safety glasses whenever you are working under your Civic. You never know what could be dripping down from the engine, battery acid, engine coolant, brake fluid, etc. All of these fluids are extremely harmful to your eyes and skin so it is important to protect yourself.
If your transmission is running low on fluid, be sure to add some - find out how to do this here!

This game started out kind of like last nights game against the Grizzlies. The Spurs took an early lead, increased it to double digits where it bounced around during the second, saw the Mavericks cut it to five, got it back to double digits and went into the half up by seven. Tim Duncan grabbed all of the rebounds early and finished the night with 13 in 29 minutes to go along with his 16 points on eight shots.
The third quarter saw Tony Parker score 14 points on just six shots to lead the Spurs in a 37-point eruption in the quarter. Marco chipped in 13 in the second half, and Dallas could just not stop the Spurs at all as the Spurs scored 67 points in the half. And they didn't have Manu Ginobili. The Spurs did a nice job on defense against a pretty good offensive team in Dallas, holding them to just 42% from the field and winning the rebounding battle by 23.
There was no wild comeback in this one, the Spurs closed out the Mavericks and earn their three-day break. Tim Duncan scored 40 points and grabbed 30 rebounds in his last two games. The old man veteran is timeless, still great, yada-yada, we're lucky, etc.
Nice win for the good guys on a SEGABABA without The Manu. It will be nice for the boys to get three days of rest before Minnesota comes into San Antonio for a Sunday night contest.

by - written on 01/01/09 (Very useful, 986 readings)
For many years my brother lived in Wiltshire under the shadow of a white horse carved into the limestone hillside above Westbury. I was always fascinated by this figure so when I discovered that there was a similar white horse in North Yorkshire within a day trip of where I live it became a place that I wanted to see. There are many examples of figures of horses cut into the landscape in England but in northern England they are quite rare and the one at Kilburn in North Yorkshire is the most northerly such example in Britain. The practice of carving white horses and occasionally other figures into the landscape dates back to prehistoric times, the reasons ... Read the complete review

Shelley Moore Capito (born Shelley Wellons Moore; November 26, 1953) is the U.S. Representative for West Virginia's 2nd congressional district, serving since 2001. She is a member of the Republican Party. She was the only Republican in the West Virginia congressional delegation until the 2010 elections and is the first Republican woman elected to Congress from West Virginia. The district stretches from the Ohio River in the west to the Eastern Panhandle, which borders with Virginia and Maryland. Capito is running for the U.S. Senate in 2014.
Early life, education, and early political career[edit]
Capito was born in Glen Dale, West Virginia, the daughter of Shelley (née Riley) and Arch Alfred Moore, Jr., who served three terms as that state's Governor. A resident of Charleston, Capito was educated at Duke University and at the University of Virginia.[2] She is a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority.[3]
Capito was elected to the 30th district of the West Virginia House of Delegates in 1996 and served two terms. The district included a portion of the Charleston area. Capito was named Minority Chairperson of the Health and Human Resources Committee and a member of the Judiciary and Banking and Insurance Committees.
She is married to Charles L. Capito and they have three children: sons Charles and Moore and daughter Shelley.[4]
U.S. House of Representatives[edit]
- 2000
When 2nd district U.S. Congressman Bob Wise ran for governor in 2000, Capito decided to run and she won the Republican nomination. She narrowly defeated millionaire asbestos lawyer Jim Humphreys 48%-46%.[5] She was the first Republican to represent West Virginia in Congress since 1983, as well as the first woman elected to Congress from West Virginia in her own right.
- 2002
She won re-election to a second term, defeating Humphreys in rematch 60%-40%. She won every county in the district except Braxton.[6] She became the first West Virginia Republican to win reelection to Congress since her father, who represented the 1st district in the state's northern region from 1957 to 1969.
- 2004
She won re-election to a third term, defeating former newscaster Erik Wells 57%-42%.[7]
- 2006
Capito was mentioned as a possible challenger to Senator Robert Byrd in 2006, but opted to run for re-election to her House seat. She won re-election to a fourth term, defeating the state's Department of Environmental Protection Secretary Mike Callaghan, 57%-43%. She won all but two counties: Braxton and Clay.[8]
- 2008
Capito won re-election to a fifth term, defeating Anne Barth, a longtime former aide to U.S. Senator Robert Byrd, 57%-43%. She won all but two counties: Braxton and Jefferson.[9]
- 2010
During the 2010 election cycle, she was mentioned as a Republican candidate to challenge Joe Manchin for the vacated United State Senate seat of the late Robert C. Byrd. Capito ultimately decided against a Senate bid, pointing out that, even though the West Virginia Legislature passed a law allowing her to run for both her House seat and the U.S. Senate, "running for two offices simultaneously is not who I am as a person. More importantly, this is not about me, but what is right for the people of West Virginia."[10]
Capito won re-election to a sixth term, defeating Lynch Graf,[11] 68%-30%.[12] For the first time in her career, she won all 18 counties of the district.
- 2012
After redistricting, Capito was challenged in the Republican primary for the first time in her career. Capito said she planned on fighting to "dismantle the federal health care overhaul and challenge the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency."[13] She defeated Delegate Jonathan Miller and Michael Davis 83%-11%-6%.[14]
She won re-election to a seventh term, defeating former gubernatorial aide Howard Swint, 70%-30%.[15][16]
Since being in Congress, Capito has voted with her party 93% of the time.[17] As of 2012, she had a lifetime rating of 70 from the American Conservative Union.[18] She is a member of the Republican Main Street Partnership.
In June 2003, Capito introduced the Family Fairness in Taxing Act of 2003. The bill would accelerate the increase to the child tax credit, increase the qualification age for children, and revise refundability criteria for the credit.[19]
In May 2008, Capito voted for the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008 (commonly called the new G.I. Bill), which expanded the educational benefits for military veterans who have served since September 11, 2001.[20]
In January 2009, Capito voted to expand the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) as part of its re-authorization. The expanded coverage would include about four million more children in the program.[21]
Capito served on the House Page Board during the Mark Foley congressional page incident, but wasn't made aware of Foley's conduct until informed by the press.[22][23]
Capito voted against the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (commonly called ObamaCare or the Affordable Care Act) in March 2010.
In December 2010, Capito voted to extend the tax cuts enacted during the administration of President George W. Bush.[24]
Capito voted for the Constitutional Balanced Budget Amendment of 2011.[25]
Capito has been a staunch advocate for the mining industry. In December 2011, she sponsored the Mine Safety Accountability and Improved Protection Act. The bill would establish an independent National Mine Safety Board, require mine inspections to be conducted when miners are present, and specify requirements for dealing with mines with a pattern of safety violations.[26] In May 2013, she introduced the Coal Jobs Protection Act of 2013. The bill would require the Environmental Protection Agency to base a determination on approving a new or renewed permit covering discharges from a structure only on regulations issued by the permitting authority.[27]
Capito supports a federal prohibition on online poker. In 2006, she cosponsored H.R. 4777, the Internet Gambling Prohibition and Enforcement Act,[28] and supported H.R. 4411, the Goodlatte-Leach Internet Gambling Prohibition Act.[29]
Capito opposes legislation aimed at capping greenhouse gas emissions.[30] In January 2010 she reportedly asked the president if he would reconsider "job-killing" policies like limiting greenhouse gases.[31]
Committee assignments[edit]
Caucus memberships[edit]
Capito is a former chairwoman of the Congressional Caucus for Women's Issues as well as a member of the Congressional Arts Caucus. After an explosion responsible for the death of 29 coal workers, Capito founded the Congressional Coal Caucus.[32]
2014 U.S. Senate election[edit]

Stock Up, Stock Down for Mets' Top 10 Prospects for Week 12
By Shale Briskin ,
The Mets' recent road trip against the Braves and Phillies was quite a success overall. New York won three of five from the Braves and two of three from the Phillies. The Mets offense has come alive thanks to the consistent production of David Wright and the addition of outfielder Eric Young Jr. in particular.
This past week was also a big success for the Mets' minor league system. Top pitching prospect Zack Wheeler made his major league debut in Atlanta with six shutout innings and seven strikeouts in what became his first win in the big leagues. Wheeler will almost certainly stay with the Mets for the rest of the season, so as a result, he will no longer be included in this ranking.
Here are this week's evaluations on the Mets' top prospects.
All statistics are from baseballreference.com/minors and are current as of June 23. Statistics from specific games are from http://www.milb.com/index.jsp and are current as of June 23.
Noah Syndergaard was acquired in the R.A. Dickey trade.
Stats: 13 GS, 69.2 IP, 66 H, 27 R, 24 ER, 17 BB, 71 K
Stock: Up
Noah Syndergaard finally got his well deserved promotion to Double-A Binghamton recently. In his first Double A start, Syndergaard allowed two runs and five hits in six innings pitched, with one walk and seven strikeouts.
After going 3-3 with a 3.11 ERA in 12 starts at Class-A St. Lucie, Syndergaard was very deserving of his promotion and will look to make the most of it going forward.
Stats: 46 G, .285 BA, 1 HR, 21 RBI, 2 SB, 24 BB, .775 OPS
Stock: Down
Brandon Nimmo has entered a cold streak lately, with a .179 average and just three RBI in his last 10 games. This should not last particularly long and looks to be a general slump more or less. Hopefully, Nimmo can break out of it in a big way soon.
Stats: 6 G, .292 BA, 1 RBI, 1 SB, 2 BB, .679 OPS
Stock: Even
With the Class-A Brooklyn Cyclones' season finally having begun, Gavin Cecchini has been off to a decent start to his season. He has not had enough at-bats yet to be judged on how well he is doing. With time, a better judgment could be formed.
Stats: 73 G, .310 BA, 8 HR, 56 RBI, 17 BB, .853 OPS
Stock: Up
Wilmer Flores' bat has stayed productive this past week, with a .286 average, two home runs and seven RBI in his last 10 games. With only one walk in that span though, Flores' OBP is still at .349.
Flores did not happen to get rewarded with a major league promotion following Ike Davis' demotion. However, this does not mean that a potential September call-up is out of the question. There is a good chance that may happen.
Stats: 13 GS, 78.2 IP, 62 H, 28 R, 21 ER, 11 BB, 84 K
Stock: Even
Rafael Montero's last two spots in Triple-A Las Vegas were not particularly successful, compared to what he had done in Double-A Binghamton earlier in the season.
Montero gave up five runs (one earned) and seven hits in 5.1 innings pitched during one start, while allowing three earned runs and eight hits within five innings in his most recent start. He took a no-decision in both starts.
Stats: 7 GS, 34.2 IP, 27 H, 13 R, 13 ER, 13 BB, 32 K
Stock: Even
Hansel Robles' most recent start was with the Gulf Coast Mets as part of a rehabilitation assignment. In that start, Robles allowed four runs (three earned) and four hits in 4.2 innings pitched.
Assuming he can stay healthy, Robles will most likely rejoin the Class-A St. Lucie Mets rotation for his next start.
Stats: 57 G, .335 BA, 14 HR, 49 RBI, 17 SB, 14 BB, 1.018 OPS
Stock: Up
After returning from a hand injury on June 19, Cesar Puello has continued to hit very well. He is batting .436 in his last 10 games and has five home runs and 13 RBI in that span.
Puello is having quite a career season so far, and his value overall should reach a new high this year.
Stats: 9 GS, 49.2 IP, 53 H, 32 R, 22 ER, 13 BB, 54 K
Stock: Even
In his most recent start, Cory Mazzoni picked up his third win by allowing three runs (one earned) and five hits in six innings, with one walk and eight strikeouts.
This win was really good for Mazzoni, who has been inconsistent for much of the season. Hopefully, his consistency on the mound will improve in the second half.
Paul DePodesta is the Mets' Vice President of player development and amateur scouting.
Stats: 12 GS, 53.0 IP, 48 H, 27 R, 24 ER, 27 BB, 47 K
Stock: Even
Rounding out the new list is Domingo Tapia, who pitches for Single-A St. Lucie.
Tapia has not been particularly consistent, with a 2-4 record and a 4.08 ERA in 12 starts. In fact, Tapia allowed six earned runs and 11 hits in his most recent start.
Walks seem to be an issue for Tapia as well, with 27 walks in 53 innings pitched. Hopefully, Tapia can rebound and have a much more successful second half.

Brakes Plus unethical business practice Arvada Colorado
*Consumer Comment: Randy must have had a bad week last year.
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Finally pick up car in blizzard/randy states 1st/2nd gear fine/will slip in 3rd gear/transmission not fixed/destroyed by Brakes plus incompetence/car taken to master mechanic on 12/12/master mechanic states/no 1st gear/ something broken in transmission/transmission oozing fluid/master mechanic states take car back to BP for them to make right.call BP 12/13 AM - Randy states did not cause problem/washing hands of it/owner calls 4 transmission shops for advice/is told regardless of who caused damage BP should make right/call BP 12/13PM, Randy states will speak w/ his tech in AM see maybe what he can do./12/14 Randy states not doing anymore-maybe would discount repair if we take car back. Brakes Plus had car for 12 days and has rendered it undriveable. It drove in to shop just fine and now is unuseable.
An alignment turned into 2 new axles/Needing those axles cannot be proved as BP's did not allow owner to see original parts taken off car/futhermore the young man that signed off on the work is not the owner/making any and all repairs to car unauthorized. Now we have a young lady in her senior year of school trying to make it to work and school on the bus. This car is not a BMW but as we are a single income family it is hard to make ends meet & this car is all she had/and a young ladies right of passage has been ruined by the incompetence and greed of this company. They took responsibility of touching that transmission for whatever reason/and now because of thier inept mechanical abilities - thay are washing their hands of this situation/because Randy says,"I am not putting anymore time or money into that car" He knows he's liable and refuses to make things right. Futhermore,on 12/14 waiting to talk to Randy I stood in the lobby and listened to him shmooz over another customer for 15 minutes about why a brake job turned into ball joints and why it's costing more than originally stated/I also have 2 other letters from customers stating they left that shop with $660 and $700 bills for a $99 brake job all under the guise you signed a paper authorizing repairs as they hustle and bustle you without time to realize what you are signing.
If you Google these exact words- Brakes Plus Arvada Colorado the first thing that comes up is a map the 2nd site is a Rip Off report for this very shop from 2001. How can this shop be a member of BBB??? At this point my only recourse is to report this as many places as possible/STRONGLY consider litigation/and put my poor child on the RTD (have a great Senior Year darling Brake's Plus gave you a wonderful present)and try to skrimp and save to get her car fixed at the worst possible time of the year Christmas will be very stark this year due to this UNNECESARY expenditure. Had Brakes Plus not been dishonest and greedy - the unauthorized young man that took the car there for an alignment-would have got the alignment and went on his way. Now we are faced with a bleak and expensive car repair/through no fault of our own. How can a company continue to do business like this? Please consider removing them from your BBB list, before any other customers are hurt in such a heinous manner.
As this has been nearly 1 full month of chaos, I am very leery of having Brakes Plus touch ANY of my vehicles again. If they are a reputable company,and have good customer service for repeat business as Randy is fond of expounding - they will pay MY mechanic to fix my daughters car. They will no longer make other unsuspecting customers incur unnecessary/costly repair bills. They will honor the BBB stickers they have posted everywhere in the shop with integrity.

Search Tips#1 Consumer Comment
Randy must have had a bad week last year.
AUTHOR: Mkdenver1 - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Monday, September 29, 2008
I am a fellow consumer and a customer of this very Brakes Plus location in Arvada.
I have a 2003 Pontiac Grand Am with 85,000 and change miles on it. I knew Brakes Plus has a good reputation (as compared to their competitor Just Brakes who has nearly 400 reports on this site as opposed to Brakes Plus' 23) so I took it in this past Friday. The front brakes were replaced nearly 3 years ago as they started grinding while I was on a road trip and here they are grinding metal on metal again. I figure it's just the way I drive; but that's a completely different story.
Anyway, I take it to this location and spoke to Randy, same guy you dealt with, and he definitely showed compassion, care, and understanding and wanted to make sure the car was safe again.
I initially just wanted the pads replaced and the rotors machined. After he put the car on the lift, he brings me into the work area and gives me a tour of my brake system. The rotors were original with the car and I could tell they were pretty worn out. The pads were definitely metal on metal and the previous worn out pads may have started the damage to the rotors and these pads probably finished the job.
So I had them replace the rotors and he also showed me the rear brakes and did not recommend any work, except for cleaning which he had his mechanic do for free, as they were still in very good shape.
So what I thought was going to be a $100 or so job turned out to be $280. But I didn't feel "ripped off" because I saw first hand that there was additional work to be done.
Randy also had his district manager give me a ride back to my house while the work was completed and then Randy himself drove to my house to pick me up and bring me back to the shop at the end of the day.
He gave me a few tips on how to "break in" brand new rotors and a few things to expect in the first few weeks.
I do apologize for your situation, but Randy and his team do a spectacular job at brake work. He even took an additional $40 off the total cost because the previous pads were still covered by the lifetime warranty from Advance Auto Parts. Since he works directly with the AAP located in the same building, he said he would take care of the warranty replacement himself and just give me the $40 credit.
I'm not sure if he just had a bad week during your experience, but he sure seems like the opposite kind of guy when I worked with him last week.

Wall stickers
Thomas and Friends are here at last to entertain and enchant you and your children. Apply, reposition, remove, and alter the orientation of these removable Thomas and Friends wall stickers at will. Your child can even do this alone or together with you, there is no concern for damaging walls, finish or furniture. The versatility and durability of these stickers encourages creative decoration and thoughtful, cooperative play. Designing and assembling new arrangements and scenes is so much fun that the kids will forget that they aren't even ruining anything!
These stickers will work on just about any surface, but take care with wallpaper or some delicate surfaces. If in doubt, test in an inconspicuous place prior to applying all the stickers. Also, wait 10 to 15 days after painting before using stickers. Though the paint feels dry, it needs adequate time to "cure." As with any adhesive product, these will work much better on clean surfaces free of dust and the like. Specifically, they will work well on surfaces including but not limited to walls, mirrors, your fridge, laptop covers, tile, glass, lockers, furniture, and automotive surfaces.

Comments about Thomas & Friends Peel & Stick Appliques:
I bought this for my 2 year old grandson who is in love with Thomas and his friends. We put up the pieces together on his closet mirror and around the border of his room. He couldn't contain his excitement. I gave him permission to move only the smaller pieces and to leave Thomas and rest of the trains where they were. As his parent came home from work, he immediately ran to them and brought them to his room to "show" them his new Thomas scenes. Such a small price for such a large show of enjoyment. Thanks!

Comments about Thomas & Friends Peel & Stick Appliques:
My son loves Thomas, so I ordered these for his 2nd birthday party. Even though they are small, there are a lot of them. If you have a Thomas fan at home, I would recommend them. Also, they have a translucent background so they look good on anything you put them on (wall, dresser, chair, etc)

Playback is where the D300S's high-resolution VGA screen really comes into its own. It's a relatively common feature on cameras of this level now (and appears on the considerably less expensive D90, too), but makes a surprisingly big difference to how easy it is to get a good idea of the quality of results you're getting.
Record Review
You can choose for the D300 to display a review of the image taken immediately after shutter release. The type of display used will be the same as the last mode used in playback (histogram, thumbnail index, details etc.). Note that record review has all of the functionality of playback mode, this means its easy to delete, magnify, protect etc. The image will remain on the screen for the 'Monitor off delay' CSM c4 or until you half-press the shutter release.
Press the Playback button to enter playback mode, press the multi selector up or down to change display mode. By default you get an image view with an information strip along the bottom of the image - pressing up of down takes you to a simple histogram and data page. Using the 'Display Modes' option in the Playback menu you can change the simple image view to include the focus point used to shoot the image.
Additionally you can add optional screens, such as Highlights, Histograms and full data listings (which runs to three pages). Just in case that isn't enough detail for you, the histogram and highlights screens can be adjusted so that they show information about the individual color channels.
Basic photo display: file number, folder, filename, date & time, quality, size | Basic photo display: image thumbnail, histogram, exposure information and other data as per default display |
Detailed photo display: Highlights (Here showing Red channel clipping) | Detailed photo display: Histograms |
Detailed photo display data 1: metering mode, shutter speed, aperture, exposure mode, ISO, exposure compensation, focal length, lens used, AF mode, VR mode, flash mode and flash compensation | Detailed photo display data 2: white balance & fine tuning, color space, picture control and image parameter adjustments |
Detailed photo display data 3: noise reduction, active d-lighting, retouching, comment | Basic photo display data with optional focus point displayed. |
Playback Zoom
While magnified use the multi selector to move around the image, the navigation box and loupe at the bottom right of the image (as can be seen below) disappears after a couple of seconds. There are eight magnification levels, on the D300's high resolution screen the last two go beyond 1:1 and provide an enlarged pixelated view. Using the control dial jumps between images without changing the magnification level, so that you can compare critical focus between images.
Playback thumbnail views
The D300S has three levels of thumbnail view, now easier thanks to the dedicated zoom-out button, just press to switch to the initial 2x2 (4 image) view, again for the 3x3 (9 image view), and a third time for a 9x8 (72 image) view. These views are particularly useful for selecting images to delete, without having to nudge through every single image. Use the multi selector to move around the index..
One click right for a 2 x 2 thumbnail view | Two clicks right for a 3 x 3 thumbnail view |
A third click gives a 9 x 8 thumbnail view |
Other Playback displays
After pressing the delete button just press once more to confirm the deletion | An example of a protected image |

Why we should (also) Measure Worklessness at the Household Level. Theory and Evidence from Britain, Spain, Germany and the United States
Individual and household based aggregate measures of joblessness can, and do, offer conflicting signals about labour market performance. This paper uses a simple set of indices to measure joblessness at the household level in 4 OECD countries with very different labour markets and welfare systems and tries to identify the likely source of any disparity in the signals stemming from individual and household-based measures of worklessness. We focus on one measure of the polarisation of work across households which is built around a comparison of the actual household jobless rate with that which would occur if work were randomly distributed over the working age household members. We show that in all the countries we examine, there has been a growing disparity between the individual and household based jobless measures. Though the incidence and magnitude of these changes varies widely, the majority of the change is from increases in this polarisation measure rather than from changing household composition or employment levels and in all the countries we study can be explained by within rather than between household group factors. This suggests, to us, that inter-relationships between each country's labour market performance and their welfare systems underlie these developmentsDownload Info
