Should have dealt nova for a young ofer when they still had a chance
Sophmore slump, I think Nova still has big league caliber stuff but he needs to get right. Time to give Lowe or Phelps a legit rotation spot and grind out this last month +
At some point it gets a little sickening hearing about how the only good thing a starter does is spare the bullpen. Hell anyone can spare the bullpen by going out there and giving up extra base hits left and right. Nova just doesn't deserve to be starting.
Typo, Mike.
2009 Melky was a fine player. It was 2008 Melky that was flat out atrocious.
Pretty shitty game. Just be glad the Rays lost to not make the bleeding start oozing even quicker.
Don't forget 2010 Melky who might have been the worst player in the game.
don't give up Nova too quickly
No, but let's let him get straightened out a bit once CC returns before he gets too many starts. Not sure he's gonna turn it around this year. Next year, perhaps.
Not giving up on Nova… but just like the "send Joba down to figure it out" camp, I think Nova might be a candidate to get a start or 2 to get his head straight for the September push.
I know I shouldn't worry, but I am starting to. We had a huge lead. TG KC won, but we start the games as this will be different and then we collapse! Can't wait for kurodas turn
losing to a devision leader is not the end of world
We're .600 in August. It's not as if they've been playing like shit most of the time.
Nova needed to be sent down to triple A like 3 or 4 starts ago…
AAA season is almost over.
Hey guys hope your enjoying that 5-man rotation ;3
I need Voice of Reason's opinion on rather Nova should be sent to AAA or if this is still a string of bad luck that is due to correct itself. Is it ok to say he sucks yet?
Simply put: it is. If you think he's a unique pitcher in ML history and his ERA will reliably continue to exceed his peripherals by 2-3 runs go to town, just recognize what you're saying and be prepared to account for it.
I hope this is not an omen for fifty year old Clemens coming back
At least Tampa lost
The Mariners now have a better record than the Red Sox.
Wow was I late to that comment.
That is embarassing.
Holy shit.
Jeter the machine.
Wish I had his discipline
Wouldn't post so much-
Basho you ain´t.
The Seattle Mariners are now ahead of the Red Sox in the overall standings.
At least that's something to find amusing.
That cheered me up. As did the Rays loss.
awesome!this makes me giddy
I have zero expectations that they'll actually make a change with the 2, arguably 3, starters that really have no business being in the rotation of a team with championship aspirations, but it was interesting to hear Girardi hedge a little about Nova's status after this game, as compared to his defense of him a few games ago.
For September call-ups the Yankees should just bring up 15 pitchers – collectively they could be about as useful as Nova + Hughes + Eppley + Rapada + Logan as he gets more and more overworked.
Hughes has done well against the White Sox the last few times he has faced him. Sale hasn't been that great recently. I think we win tomorrow.
It's not like Sale has been getting Nova'd out there, though. He had one toughish start his last time, but 2 great ones before that. Two rough ones prior to that and 4 terrific ones before that are his last couple months. Not like he started the year, but still tough to handle.
And Nova had also dominated the White Sox over his career. That didn't end up so well.
I hope you're right, but it's not exactly that clear cut.
But hey, at least we'll get to see Nix, McGehee, and Jones (in the middle of the order I'm sure), which is always lots of fun…
When I called for 2 of 3 this series, I meant Yankee wins, not White Sox. Now I'm just hoping they can hang on and pull one out. Really thought Freddy would hang on and Nova would be effective enough. Gotta hope Phil can pull it together, even if only for this game.
Doubtful. Hughes is competing for King of the Gopher Balls, and this White Sox team has the guys who can help him get that crown.
Both these games rate high on the most-painful-games-of-the-year scale. Outside of Jeter, there has been nothing to like. Worse, it's 5:15 in the morning and now I have to get ready to drive to Long Island for a 7am breakfast meeting, all on three-and-half hours sleep.
I'm sure I'll be nice and cranky for the 8pm game!
Good night…I mean good morning.
No doubt about it. Nova has to go to the bullpen and Phelps should take his place in the rotation. I still think the kid can come back because he has the best stuff in the pitching staff, just not this year. If we make it to the postseason I would only use him in relief in low level situations. Cano does not look like he did a few weeks ago. Whether it is because of Melky or another reason I don't know. Some fans already suspect that he may have been using also.
Have to say I'm glad we didn't come through in that first inning. Because you could tell from the first inning that NOva pitched that he was going to get clobbered.
Sowhere are all the experts on this site who said last week that liriano was not worth getting for nothing. He is better than nova and no worse than Hughes. I guess my prediction he would beat the yanks came true.
wellllllll. Liriano is the latino AJ Burnett. So you 'could' theorhetically trade AJ Burnett for nothing and pay his salary to watch him win 18 games in Pittsburgh, and then go trade a prospect to get the exact same guy, but latino and from the left side….
and lets not criticize Brian Cashman when he makes that chess move and it (undoubtedly) doesnt work.
Fucking Nostradamus over here.
Nova leads the league by far in giving up extra base hits…enough said
and in second place comes Phil Hughes.. we're screwed for tonight's game as well
Why does every team we play throw left handers at us? It is because we are vulnerable to them. When you present a lineup that gives the opposition 3-4 free outs you are going to lose. They say we have a winning record against lefthanders but it does not apppear to be so. In any case bad pitching by your staff will get you nowhere.
It's Yankee law, get shut down by the guy with a 5 era, blast the Cy young candidate. Yanks roll tonight
We're in a lot of trouble. The Royals saved us last night. Phelps is better than 3/5th of the current rotation so I don't know why you would demote him. Nova has gotta go. Come playoff time we can't have these guys starting for us or it'll be another 1st round exit. We won't have the KC Royals there to save us.
Don't flame me just yet: Fire Larry Rothschild and Kevin Long. Now.
Hughes and Nova are not developing under Rothschild. AJ imploded under him. I don't know if it's his fault or not. But both guys need to kick it up a notch. It's not working.
As for Long, Jeter started last season as a bottom feeder, had the fortuitous injury, and then solved his stride issues with Gary Denbo looking at him once. The Grandy thing worked for a while, but now we're back to much power but infrequent production. Plus, we're in another season of RISP Fail and prolonged team slumps.
I know the 'Yankees Magazine' spin is that they're both great coaches, hard workers. George would have already canned both of them.
They won't fire them midseason but if the Yanks don't win the WS I'd fire them both. You always fire them before the manager and Girardi will be next if he can't get this club to the WS in the next two years.
They didn't win it the last 2 years either.
I never understood why the Yankees never promoted Denbo to the big club, unless he doesn't want to leave Tampa.
And tonight's matchup features Fly Ball Phil vs Cy Young Sale. It won't be pretty. After Dunn, Konerko, and Rios homer we'll probably have to burn up the pen yet again and won't get any relief until Hiroki starts.
"Ivan Nova just flat-out is not a big league caliber pitcher."
I'm sorry, Mike, but I don't get this. It's as much the kind of absolute we get on others for on here as everything else. He may not be pitching like someone who belongs in the big leagues at this moment, but we can't just flat-out call him not a big league cailber pitcher. Words and phrasing matter sometimes.
That being said, I agree that this was the second absolutely wretched game in a row I've had to sit through. I don't know if it's feeling that the ChiSox are beneath the Yankees, but I just can't stand this series. Nova either looked like he was trying to throw it in the dirt to just not get it up in the zone, or he just didn't know where it was going. He needs to get his game back in line. Thank goodness Phelps and Garcia are looking good enough to not need to be replaced right now.
Lead's three. If you thought it was always going to be ten games, you haven't been watching the AL East long enough. It's going to be a serious September. Have those meds ready.
Whoops. Lead's four. I automatically assumed TB pulled it out last night.
Good thing the immediately following sentence didn't say something like "He was last season and he might return to being one at some point in the future, but at this very moment he belongs in Triple-A"
I agree that it does make it read better, but that sentence just sticks out no matter what.
I don't want to go too far down this road. I got on someone else for trying to proofread Mike yesterday and it's not at all what I'm trying to do. I'm just saying I disagree with that one statement. No biggie.
What's funny is that I've almost written the word "fallacy" a couple of times here, and we all know where that would lead…
I wonder if we are pressing our luck if we keep letting David phelps start I don't know man. If they consistently kept him in rotation you would feel confident about keeping him there since he's pitched well his last 2 starts. He ia our best option right now. And if Garcia has another bad start put Derek Lowe in rotation. When pettite comes back put phelps in bullpen. If we make playoffs put Lowe as your fourth starter!

Touring the Twin Cities: Food, Water, and Fitness Tours
By Molly Schelper |
In a single visit, it can be hard to fit in all of the first-rate dining options the Twin Cities has to offer. So, why not sample a selection of them in one outing? Take a tour through downtown and northeast Minneapolis while your taste buds take a trip around the globe with Twin Cities Food Tours (www.twincitiesfoodtours.com). On this three-hour excursion, you'll sample homemade Minnesota foods as well as Neapolitan, Eastern European, Nepali, Indian, Tibetan and Greek cuisine. While you're being introduced to new restaurants, you'll learn about local landmarks and get some historical insight into the river district.
If you want an insider's perspective, Taste Twin Cities (www.tastetwincities.com) includes lesser-known spots on their food and drink tours, while guides discuss the history and culture of the area. Eat your way through downtown in the Heart of Minneapolis Tour, travel off the beaten path on the Minneapolis Riverwalk Tour, or venture through the city's miles of skyways during the Downtown Minneapolis Skyway Tour.
If you'd rather skip the food and just quench your thirst, visit three local breweries on the Twin Cities Brewery Tour, or sample from local vineyards on the Countryside or River Road Winery Tours.
Take to the water and see the cities from the Mississippi River or any of our surrounding lakes. Explore Lake Minnetonka, the metro's largest lake, and see the cottages and mansions that line its landscape aboard a boat from Paradise Charter Cruises (www.twincitiescruises.com). For a river ride, the company has a paddleboat and a yacht docked at Boom Island Park, ready to take you on a tour of the Mississippi River. Padelford Riverboats (www.riverrides.com) also offers tours of the river, departing from Harriet Island in St. Paul. Hop aboard the Jonathan Padelford Sternwheeler for a narrated ride and see sights such as Pig's Eye Cave, Pike Island and Fort Snelling.
If you're looking for a more active way to experience the water, try taking a paddleboard tour with Stand Up MN (www.standupmn.org). Let the river guides give you an eco-tour of the cities while you travel along the Mississippi, either through Minneapolis or St. Paul. If you're still feeling adventurous, try taking a kayak or canoe trip down the river with Above the Falls (www.abovethefallssports.com). Choose to embark on a daylong adventure on the Marathon Tour, or head out on a number of other, shorter excursions that will take you to see sights such as St. Anthony Falls and Fort Snelling, or searching for river otters and beavers. If all of that paddling works up an appetite, lunch, brunch and dinner tours are also available.
With Minneapolis-St. Paul consistently being recognized as one of the fittest areas in the country, its no surprise that we have a number of ways for visitors to take part in our active lifestyle. Hit the pavement on one of Twin Cities Jogging Tours' (www.twincitiesjoggingtours.com) six different tours, each of which varies in length and difficulty. Learn about the birthplace of Minneapolis and the center of its revitalization on the Mill Ruins 5K or Urban Adventure Run. Explore the capital city on the St. Paul Tour, or see the contemporary and historic aspects of Minneapolis on the Downtown Tour.
For more experienced runners, City Running Tours (www.cityrunningtours.com) offers 5K or 10K tours daily. Choose to see the famous Spoonbridge and Cherry at the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, run along the river past old flourmills, see famous downtown buildings on the Skyscrapers and Stadiums Tour, or sample local brews on the Beer Run.
With hundreds of miles of dedicated bike lanes and paths, pedaling through the cities is a great way to see the sights. Nice Ride Minnesota (www.niceridemn.org) has bikes to rent stationed across the city, whether you want to ride for a day or an afternoon (first half hour's free). Check the website for printable maps and directions for suggested tours, including Bridges of Minneapolis, Famous Architecture and 'Prince for a Day.'
If you'd prefer to have a guide with you, The Fit Tourist (www.thefittourist.com) takes you out to see the sights by bike or on foot. The bike tour takes you on a 9-mile route around downtown Minneapolis, while walking tours can take you to see the Minneapolis Riverfront, Sculpture Garden, or highlights along Nicollet Mall.

Title: | Laparoscopic Ladd's procedure: treatment of choice for midgut malrotation in infants and children |
Author(s): | Stanfill, Amy B.; Pearl, Richard H.; Kalvakuri, Kavitha; Wallace, Lizabeth J.; Vegunta, Ravindra K. |
Subject(s): |
laparoscopic Ladd's procedure
laparoscopic procedures |
Abstract: | Introduction: Rotational anomalies of the midgut encompass a broad spectrum of incomplete rotational events with malfixation of the intestines during fetal development. Ladd's procedure, as a correction of these anomalies, has traditionally been performed by laparotomy. In our institution, the laparoscopic Ladd's (LL) procedure was introduced in May 2004 and soon became the standard approach. Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis of all Ladd's procedures in children in our institution between September 1998 and June 2008 was performed. Outcomes between the open (OL) and LL procedures were compared. Results: A total of 156 children underwent Ladd's procedure during the study period. There were 120 open and 36 laparoscopic procedures. Overall, 75% of patients in each group were symptomatic, most commonly with emesis and pain. Duration of surgery was similar in both groups. Time to starting feeds, and amount of time to attain full feeding, was significantly less in the LL group. Postoperative length of stay was significantly less in the patients having LL. Conversion rate to OL from LL was 8.3%. Conclusions: LL can be performed safely in selected patients with no increase in complications. Short-term results are superior to OL and can be achieved without any increase in operative duration. |

Is BW2 already out in Japan or somethin'? If so, then WHAT THE HELL I THOUGHT THEY WERE GONNA BE RELEASED ON THE THIRTIETH!!!11!1 If not, then what's up with the sudden onslaught of BW2 info?
The games are officially released on the 23rd but some people in Japan have received the games early and are playing through them, releasing the info as they go.
The games launch on the 23rd. That means they get shipped to stores earlier (today) so they can be readily bought that day. Which means that some people've played one of these retail copies. Generally speedrunning the thing and posting everything on the internet.

If you could meet one famous author and sit down with him/her and discuss his/her work,...
Topic: Literature
If you could meet one famous author and sit down with him/her and discuss his/her work, who would it be?I love the work of John Steinbeck. I also love standard poodles. It would be fun to compare notes about Charley and my standards. Steinbeck wrote such great stories, novellas, and novels.
His work also had influence during the time that he was writing. His characters were inspirational and sometimes heart rending. I loved all of them: The Pearl, East of Eden, The Grapes of Wrath, Of Mice and Men, The Wayward Bus, The Winter of our Discontent and The Red Pony. He also loved and wrote about King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table which I also have always loved to read about and teach.
His influence carried over into the movies as well with his screen writing particularly Viva Zapata that won an academy award. What a genius! I would want to study up on some of the stories that I had not read in a long time. Then just ask him about George and Lenny or Tom Joad...you see where this is going.
Would it not be an exquisite time just to sit back and listen to your favorite writer talk?

This is a tough one, but I would have to say F. Scott Fitzgerald. If he had written nothing but The Great Gatsby, that would be enough for me. This and Huckleberry Finn will always be the two great American novels as far as I'm concerned. Twain is someone I would love to talk to, but he is too far removed in time for me to feel that we would be able to be on the same page very quickly. I would want to know about what image was in Fitzgerald's mind that began this novel for him, I would also want to hear about the beauty and pain of his life with Zelda, and because I adore the whole era, I would love to hear his thoughts on the Roaring Twenties.

Walt Whitman seems like a really interesting person. I'd like to talk with him about poetry and about life and ask him questions about how his views did or didn't change over time.
Leaves of Grass is probably one of the greatest self-publishing success stories in American history. I wonder how Whitman felt about that aspect of his career, being self-made. How did things change for him professionally as his stature eventually grew? What, if he could narrow his artistic message to a single sentiment, what would he want people to take away from his work?
I'd also really like get to talk with James Baldwin.

It would have to be Hemingway. Growing up in Florida in the 1960s, it was impossible to ignore Hemingway's literary influence in the state, and he still commands a presence (especially in Key West). But it is Hemingway's larger-than-life persona that attracts me most, and it would be great to share a few stories over a bottle of wine in 1920s Paris or a few daiquiri's on his boat in Key West or Cuba.

I'm not a literature teacher but rather a history and social sciences teacher. So I'm much more attracted to people whose work makes me think about history and society than to those who are investigating the human condition. I also like pulp much more than good literature.
If I could talk at length to an author I'd choose either Harry Turtledove or S. M. Stirling. Both of these men write historical fiction and alternate histories. They aren't great literature, but they do require me (or at least allow me) to think about various aspects of history (what would have happened if the North had lost the Civil War) or society (what happens if all authority is suddenly swept away and a new society has to be built). They make me think in depth and detail about questions that are important to the areas in which I teach and so I would rather talk to them than to literary authors.

Hard choice, but I'd probably go with Benjamin Franklin. To call him a "famous author" might be something of a stretch, but he was certainly involved in a number of writing projects that could qualify him for inclusion as a writer of some note. And oh, the stories he would be able to tell about those projects!
As an American history buff, it would be fascinating to have the opportunity to hear stories and ask questions about the colonial era, the Revolutionary War, and the early years of forming a new government for this new country he helped to form. As a journalist, it would be interesting to hear how he went about finding information, writing his Poor Richard's Almanack, and publishing his newspapers. As an observer of human nature, I would be eager to ask for his reactions to some of the phenomena we observe in culture today.

I'd go with John le Carre. Of any author I've read over the years, he's the one whose novels I read the most. I continually turn to his spy novels because, while in the spy/suspense/thriller genre, they are much more than that. His novels are not crash and bang, shoot 'em up works of little or no substance. His stories are character studies that deal with the strengths and weaknesses of its characters - protagonists and antagonists alike. The stories concern the innermost feelings and motives of the main characters. They are morality tales of the highest order - superimposed over the structure of the classic spy novel, a genre that John le Carre transformed when he came on the scene in the 60s.
I especially love the novels Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, The Russia House, Smiley's People, A Perfect Spy, and his most recent published novel Our Kind of Traitor.

Wow! I would talk to Charles Dickens. I would first want to ask him if he was happy. I know he struggled with the idea of happiness most of this life. Did he ever find it? I would mainly want to talk about his ideas of social justice and how he used books to make people aware. Dickens said:
Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tires, and a touch that never hurts... (Our Mutual Friend)
I think he truly wanted to be the best person he could. I think in many ways he succeeded. His humor and courage never cease to amaze me, so if I could talk to any writer about his books, it would be Dickens. My first question would be: WHO KILLED EDWIN DROOD!

Two of my favorites have already been taken, John Steinbeck and Charles Dickens.
To avoid repetition, I think I'll pick Mark Twain. One thing I'd like to talk to him about is whether or not his cynicism has softened after more than a century of after-life.

@ #8 I think it was Jasper!
Anywho, I would pick Shakespeare, since he would make my English assignments so much easier by having him next to me.

L.M.Montgomery, of Anne of Green Gables fame. She created such a variety of memorable characters - young and old, male and female, rich and poor. More often than not it's the minor characters that she brings to life so vividly. And although her descriptions can get a little florid, she also creates a great sense of place in her writings. (I particularly like the way she characterises houses!) Another aspect of her work that I enjoy - and which she doesn't get nearly enough recognition for, in my opinion - is her sense of irony. The way she describes the likes of Mrs Rachel Lynde in Anne of Green Gables, for instance, is as good as anything you'd find in Jane Austen. Probably better, if it isn't sacrilege to say so! I'd love to tell her how much I enjoy all these different aspects of her work.

Shakespeare to ask him where his inspiration came from
Posted by popan006 on January 19, 2013 at 11:06 AM (Answer #13)
I have often thought that I would have loved to be able to talk to Ernest Hemingway because I would have liked to be able to ask him questions about a couple of his short stories and get the answers from the author himself rather than a lot of guesses from critics. I would first ask him about his short story "The Killers." How did the killers know that Ole Andreson was living in Summit? What did Ole do to make somebody want him killed? Why did they think he came to the diner every night at six when he only comes irregularly?
Then I would ask Hemingway about another short story, "Fifty Grand." How did the gamblers talk Jack into betting against himself? If they wanted to bribe him to take a dive, why didn't they just offer to pay him out of their own pockets?
And finally, I would ask Hemingway what in the world he meant when he wrote in The Green Hills of Africa that there is a third and fourth dimension that can be gotten in writing fiction.
I have my own ideas about all the questions I would ask, but I would like to see if any of them were confirmed by the author himself.

I would love to meet Chaucer. He was not only a great writer, but he was also on the fringes of the royal family because his sister-in-law was the mistress (and eventually third wife) of John of Gaunt, whose son became Henry IV. I'd love to know what made Chaucer break from tradition and write in a totally new style by depicting not just nobility and heroes but common, ordinary folk as well. I think he would be a fascinating dinner companion.

I would definitely meet Dickens first of all and discuss with him all his experiences and how he actually started his work , what were his main motives and how he managed all work in the extreme poverty , what Inspired him the most , His memorable moments in life which reflects in his books . Secondly I'd love to meet Rhonda Bryne , because I think she's my type when I first read her book THE MAGIC it touched my heart and Yes the magic indeed happened in my life when I was down It made me stand tall ..The book is just amazing . I'll ask her about the concept of how she came to the idea of writing ''THE MAGIC'' since Im really curious to know that.
Last , but not the least I soo wanna meet JK Rowling , as Im a pretty crazzy fan of Harry Potter . My whole childhood till now I've grown up along watching Harry Potter. It was an awesome journey uptill now , definitely I love the movie but it wasn't without the outstanding Book of hers . I'll ask her about the main theme of harry potter and what actually made her write it was it any experience or just fiction .

Popular television host Jon Stewart was born Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz on November 28, 1962, in New York City. (He later legally changed his last name to Stewart.) His family later relocated to Lawrenceville, New Jersey, where Stewart spent most of his youth.
Comedian and TV Host
In 1984, Stewart graduated from the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia, where he studied psychology and played on the men's soccer team.

Due to the success of The Daily Show, which has run for nearly 20 seasons, Stewart has become an in-demand host. He has hosted numerous award shows, including the Grammy Awards in 2001 and 2002, and the Academy Awards in 2006 and 2008.

In recent years, Stewart has lent his voice to several animated films, including Doogal (2006).

Warmer Weather Returns, Mid-Week Storm Threat
We should rise into the 60s on Tuesday!
By Wednesday a new storm system arrives in our area. This looks to bring mainly rain to Philadelphia. As the storm system pulls away late Wednesday night we will see a brief changeover to snow.
Little to no accumulation expected in the city, at least as of now. It'll be much colder Thursday.

Welcome to my website! My name is Betty Busby. I am an artist living in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
I am a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, where I majored in ceramics. After RISD, I founded a ceramic tile manufacturing studio in Los Angeles,
ran it for 18 years, and sold it to move to New Mexico. I am happy to say that it is still in business today.
I have been working full-time making fiber art and teaching since I moved to New Mexico in 1994. The Fiber Gallery and Collage Gallery contain full (and some detail) images.

Keenly aware of Lancaster's need for a space celebrating the city's vibrant art community, a group of determined artists and citizens banded together in 1965 to found the Goethean Hall Gallery of Art, nestled amid Franklin and Marshall College. Though the art gallery has changed venues and names, the original vision of its founders—to provide visitors with the "best available art"—remains unchanged. Rechristened as the Lancaster Museum of Art (LMA), the museum now resides in the historic Grubb mansion, and boasts diverse exhibits and events for the public. The mansion's 4,000 square feet of galleries and porticos plays host to an ever-changing lineup of awe-inspiring art, as well as a permanent collection composed of paintings from a roster of Lancaster's homegrown artists, including Hugh Fitzgerald, Abby Rudisill, and Ellen Slupe. LMA also fosters an artistic dialogue with the community through numerous education programs that introduce the next generation to the ins and outs of the creative process.
Ultrazone Laser Tag might be familiar to fans of The Real World, whose cast members—fed up with drama—blew off steam by ducking colorful laser beams in the sprawling multilevel arena's fog-filled maze. There's enough space for 45 vest-clad players to face off at one time, and plasma monitors let the next wave watch the game as they eagerly await their turn. The expansive recreation center also hosts sleepover parties that grant exclusive overnight use of the laser-tag facilities, the plasma-screen theater, and the room that's inexplicably full of doorknobs. Outside the arena, an arcade keeps synapses ablaze with video games, air hockey, and golf simulators, supplemented with slices of Papa John's pizza from the cafe.
Blue Mountain Vineyards owners, Joe and Vickie, are pinot pioneers. Beginning with a 5-acre experiment in 1986, they discovered that the soil of the Lehigh Valley does a fine impression of French terrain, making it suitable for growing the grapes of cabernet sauvignon, chardonnay, and other European varietals. Since then, they've expanded to a 50-acre plot, where they now produce wines that have won awards from the Fingerlake International Wine Competition and Appellation America.
Panoramic views of the Blue Mountains overlook scenic terraces at the vineyards, where grapes spring from soil that soldiers roamed during the Revolutionary War. Tastings, concerts, and other events fill the winery's glass-flanked deck, spilling onto an outdoor patio surrounded by ponds as tranquil as a silent lullaby. Visitors admire the vines during tours, and they can also adopt their favorites to preserve the vines' flavorful histories.

adam187 (06-05-2013)
? What are you even talking about?
I'm not saying he dominated the Greek league. I'm saying the opposite. I'm saying that whatever skills and abilities he had sure don't translate to production even at the most basic of professional levels. He has a long long long way to go.
And thank you for making me hate the one player in the draft I was falling in love with.
Into the crevasse!
"Climb down Lemon, Climb down"
adam187 (06-05-2013)
guys, let's do our best not to talk about playing with little girls in this thread.
iowabobcat (06-05-2013), TheBeagle (06-05-2013)
"The Charlotte Hornets name has been a mainstay throughout the region for many years, and we are excited to announce our intention to re-establish this historic brand. We believe that its return will galvanize our fan base by unifying our loyal Bobcats fans with those who have strong memories of our city's NBA predecessor." MJ, 5-21-13
I am saying he is already skilled and his weight wont be an issue as he will be out on the wing where length is far more important. All the tools are there, simply a coach assembling them together and using them properly.
Also, what he did in the Greek league means nothing without more details. ie he just recently had the growth and was adjusting, how many shot attempts did he try a game, how many minutes did he play a game, how did his coach use him, etc.
Just saying he did x in x league means little.
NBA drafts on potential, skill, and athleticism and not production in x league. Of which this guy is being WAY undervalued.

Not getting off the bench doesnt mean anything without looking at it in context. Who was the starter? How did he do when he got minutes? etc.
He could be better than the starter and its just the coach being stupid.
Plenty of better players have been burried on the bench, waiting for that opportunity.
I am not sure id say Daye has good handles. Certainly decent for his size though and nothing to balk at. He is primarily a jumpshooter. Who at most only uses a two step jab move to get an open jumper.
He is not the ball handler or passer that Giannis is imo
Last edited by DashGlobal; 06-05-2013 at 08:30 PM.
CJ Mccolum-Craftiest player in the draft IMO
Steven Adams-Best frame of all the big men by a long shot. Sets really physical screens.
Ricky Ledo-Reminds me of Lance Stephenson
Dennis Schroeder-first step, speed, wingspan
So, my unexplainable draft "crush" is Colton Inverson.
Dude is built like Hulk Hogan in his prime. 6'11", 260 lbs, pure muscle, and doesnt seem to be that robotic. If we could buy the #45 pick from PDX and draft him there, I'd be for it....
With his combination of height/length and his shooting stroke, for me it's Sergey Karasev. Not that I think he's a star, but if he's the kind of player I think he's going to be I'm excited to spend the next half-decade making "Karasev is Russian for Korver" jokes.

Professor. Shtaywy S. Abdalla |
President |
Welcome to Tafila Technical University's Web Site!
As the second president of Tafila Technical University (TTU), I am honored that I was royally decreed and entrusted to lead this newly established technical institution to enhance the proud tradition of academic excellence and accessibility that the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan has embraced over the last four decades.
As early as 1970s, Jordan's quality instruction, affordable tuition and unique Mediterranean climate have provided a stepping stone to success for thousands of Jordanian and Arab students. The innumerable achievements of Jordan's educational system (Faculty, staff, and graduates) have rewarded Jordan with reputation as a "country of opportunity". The TTU is not an exception; it is a new avenue of technical instruction that Jordan has sough to embrace in response to the rising needs of the local and regional market demands.
Tafila city, with its 80,000 inhabitants, located in an area which is rich of its natural resources, potash, cement, oil shale, mines etc. It is only 180 km south of Amman, the capital. TTU on the 17th of January, 2005, as a successor to Tafila Applied University Faculty , which was established in 1986 before affiliating it with al- Balqa' Applied University in 1997. TTU is the ninth public and the first technical university for higher education in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.
As a technical university for higher education, TTU was founded to employ and develop technology in its curricula, instruction, labs, and workshops, as well as in its administrative procedures related to admission, registration, and library; it also boosts higher education, scientific research and serve the local community by providing it with skillful graduates, research findings in various academic fields; It is meant to supply some important and expensive investment projects in the region with highly qualified experts. These include but not limited to cement, potash and phosphate enterprises, tourism, wild-life reserves, and some others.
At present, the university is undergoing tremendous expansions in infrastructure constructions and in all academic specializations to achieve its mission in providing highly technical instruction for the students, fostering scientific research, and serving the local community.
Currently, the university comprises five Faculty , two deanships and five scientific centers; five of the Faculty, Engineering, Sciences, Educational Sciences, Financial and Administrative Sciences, and Arts, award bachelor degree in 22 academic specializations and a postgraduate diploma in Education. The Technical Intermediate Community Faculty awards associate diplomas in 13 specializations. Additionally, the Languages, Computer and Information Technology, Community Partnership, Teaching Staff Development and Evaluation, and the National Center for Oil Shale Studies are recently established to supply some important and expensive investment projects in the region with highly qualified experts and research findings. These include but not limited to cement, potash, and phosphate enterprises, tourism, wild-life reserves, and some others.
Our TTU excels in the community facilities provided to students. Among these are state-of-the-art-labs and workshops for engineering, computer, physics, chemistry, language learning and teaching, and electronics.

Total puts on stream its giant deep offshore Usan project in Nigeria
Saturday, 25 February 2012 | 00:00
Total, operator of Block OML138, announces the start-up of production of the offshore Usan field in Nigeria, in line with the planned schedule. Usan is the second deep offshore development operated by Total in Nigeria, coming on stream less than three years after Akpo.
Discovered in 2002, the Usan field lies around 100 kilometers off the South East Nigerian coast in water depths ranging from 750 to 850 meters. The Usan development comprises a spread moored Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel designed to process 180 000 barrels per day and with a crude storage capacity of 2 million barrels. Its size of 320 meters long and 61 meters wide makes it one of the largest vessels of this type in the world. Development involves 42 wells that are connected to the FPSO by a 70 kilometers long subsea network.
Yves-Louis Darricarrère, President Exploration-Production at Total, stated on the occasion:
"I'm particularly proud to announce start-up of this major project together with the concession holder NNPC. This project demonstrates the ability of Total, a key operator of large-scale deep offshore developments in the Gulf of Guinea, to lead ambitious projects that will contribute to increase production for the Group and for the country. Total as operator has introduced a number of technological innovations, among which is a solution that drastically reduces gas flaring and thus minimizes the project's environmental impact. The development of Usan has involved a record 60% of local content man-hours and thus has contributed to strengthening the know-how of the Nigerian industry in the area of hydrocarbon exploitation in the deep offshore."
The Usan project has involved an unprecedented level of Nigerian local content, with over 500,000 engineering man-hours and 14 million construction and installation man-hours performed in Nigeria. FPSO construction included an offshore integration of 3,500 tons of locally fabricated structures. In addition, large-scale training and capacity building programs were put in place, raising the skills of the local workforce to the benefit of future projects.
Total's wholly owned subsidiary Total E&P Nigeria Ltd. operates OML 138 with a 20% interest, while Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) is the concession holder. Total's partners are Chevron Petroleum Nigeria Ltd. (30%), Esso E&P Nigeria (Offshore East) Ltd. (30%) and Nexen Petroleum Nigeria Ltd. (20%).
Total Exploration-Production in Nigeria
In 2012 Total will celebrate fifty years of its presence in Nigeria. The Group's production in Nigeria was approximately 290,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day in 2011.
Deepwater developments are one of Total's main growth avenues in Nigeria, where the Group operates the Akpo field in OML 130 and is also preparing to develop the Egina field in the same lease. Offshore production also comes from OMLs 99, 100 and 102, which are operated by the Group as part of a joint-venture with NNPC. The main fields in these leases are Amenam-Kpono, Edikan and Ofon. For Ofon, Total recently started the second phase of its development which is mostly intended to recover natural gas reserves. Ofon phase 2 is a step forward in the Group's plan to reduce its gas flaring and greenhouse gas emissions.
Total's onshore production comes from OML 58, which it also operates as part of its joint-venture with NNPC. The principal assets are the Obagi oil field and the Ibewa natural gas field. A project is underway to increase the lease's natural gas and condensate production capacity to supply the domestic market.
In addition, Total has significant equity production in Nigeria from its interests in non-operated ventures, particularly the SPDC joint venture (10%) and SNEPCO (12.5%), which includes the Bonga field. Total also has a 15% interest in NLNG, whose liquefied natural gas production capacity was increased to 21.9 million metric tons per year when Train 6 was brought on stream in late 2007.
Total deploys an assertive local content policy, with locally worked hours accounting for 60% and 90% respectively of the Usan and OML 58 projects in Nigeria. The Group is also helping to build the deepwater expertise of Nigerian contractors, especially in the Niger Delta, a region that is home to more than half of Total's Nigerian employees and most of its operations in the country.

New in store
Home Eco paint, B&Q UK. January 2011
B&Q UK's new Home Eco paint is made from paint collected from local authority recycling points and was launched into larger stores in autumn 2010. As Matt Sexton, B&Q UK's Director of Corporate Social Responsibility, says: "The average UK household has 17 cans of partially used paint sitting in sheds and around 25% of paint ends up in landfill. But if you take it to a recycling centre it can be given a new lease of life. Every can of Home Eco paint sold will prevent three cans going to landfill".
At its two eco shops at New Malden and Sutton, B&Q has also introduced a powder-based paint which consumers mix with water at home.
