The New York Times ran this wonderful interview with former First Lady Laura Bush on April 1, I hope the link to the slide show works — never know with the pay walls these days. In the interview, she says she didn't know she was stressed until they moved back home,¬† Barney and Miss Beazely had a harder time adjusting and miss the large White House staff, she has found how incompetent she is around the house after 14 years of not cooking (which would be, to me, the best part about being First Lady), she and President Bush have a secret door from their bedroom to the girl's part of their home in anticipation of grandkids, she loves Hilary Clinton & walking canes by Roosevelt Wilkerson, the Crawford ranch was green before its time, and she loves to clean. I recall Mrs. Bush saying, years ago, that she Cloroxed her kitchen counters and cleaned cabinets regularly, that she loved to keep a clean, organized home. But the best part of the interview, for me, was learning that her most cherished rug was one she bought from ARZU. I had the pleasure of interviewing the woman who started ARZU about a year ago when she was in Dallas.

Lacrimal Drainage Resistance Study (LDRS)

- How to Read a Study Record
Epiphora, or uncontrolled tearing of the eyes, represents a common presenting complaint of patients seen by ophthalmologists. Epiphora may be due to non-obstructive causes, such as tear hypersecretion or functional tear pump failure, or obstructive causes. Functional tear pump failure may result from malposition of the eyelids, such as an abnormal out-turning (ectropion) or in-turning (entropion) of the eyelid.
Currently methods to diagnose partial nasolacrimal duct obstruction are purely qualitative in nature. Our research goal is to quantitatively measure the pressure generated during conventional probing and irrigation (P&I), and to measure the resistance to irrigation of the nasolacrimal drainage system.
The investigators will measure the pressure generated during conventional P&I using a disposable in-line pressure transducer. In addition, the investigators will use a syringe pump to deliver a constant flow rate of saline through a nasolacrimal cannula and measure the steady state irrigation pressure using the in-line transducer and digital pressure monitor. Resistance can be directly calculated from the known flow rate and pressure measurements.
The investigators will compare both the pressure generated during P&I and the lacrimal drainage resistance between patients with lacrimal drainage obstruction and controls patients with no obstruction (functional tear pump failure) as determined by clinical exam.
Clinical applications for measuring lacrimal drainage resistance include quantifying partial nasolacrimal duct obstruction, guiding the choice of surgical procedure, and determining the success of lacrimal drainage procedures.

The Al Shabaab bombers in Kampala killed 74 people watching World Cup soccer. Here are some thoughts about the situation.
1.  Al Shabaab, whether linked to Al Qaeda by actual ties or only by sharing enemies, is obviously able to strike outside of Somalia. Could they reach the US? It's not impossible.  They have already recruited about 20 fighters in Minneapolis (also in Canada and Scandinavia), including a suicide bomber, a Somali-American who blew himself up in Somalia.  Burundi is a closer target which, like Uganda, also sent peacekeepers to Mogadishu through the  African Union (AU).
2. Â The US/EU/UN will probably increase military aid to the largely fictional Transitional Federal Government, which controls about one square mile in Mogadishu with the help of 4,000 AU soldiers. Â This is pure reflex, and pointless. Without some kind of Somali solution, the present situation won't change. Â There is no evidence that a feasible and locally rooted approach is being developed, though nothing else stands a chance of working.
3.  The parallels between Afghanistan and Somalia are increasingly obvious.  Neither has a functioning central government.  Both have populations with deep historic divisions and rivalries.  Both have always turned on foreigners, but then turn on each other when the foreigners go, or even sooner.  In both, solutions imposed from outside don't gain local support.  Despite their differences, both share this: neither has had, except briefly, the historic experience of a time when the concept of Somalia or Afghanistan was stronger than regional, clan/subclan  or ethnic loyalties.  Local rule has usually been the only rule.  The  'national capital' had little authority or status.  The Peace Corps happened to be in both countries during recent short periods of central rule.  Neither central government survived for long.
There is no reason to think that Somalia, or Afghanistan, will have a functioning national government in the foreseeable future. It is the repeated mistake of foreigners to assume that people everywhere really want a nation/state and that they want to replace local leaders with members of other clans or ethnic groups who rule over them from far away. These two countries are obviously not ready to do that, particularly under pressure from foreigners. Â Are there others that are only going through the motions of modern governance as they sort out their internal conflicts? Â (Did anyone mention Iraq?)
4.  Somaliland, the former British colony that just had a peaceful transfer of power between rivals, is still denied international recognition as a legitimate state.  Hasn't anyone noticed that it is a functioning democracy that just had its 3rd election? This is more than bizarre.  The rest of Somalia, an anarchic and bloody mess that is now exporting suicide bombers, is considered a legitimate state.  The US, Europe and all of Africa are coconspiritors in this absurdity.  A touch of leadership might help, but the Obama administration is as indifferent to Africa as the Bush and Clinton administrations — bipartisanship at its worst.  A career diplomat and RPCV, Assistant Secretary of State Johnnie Carson  (Tanzania, 1965-68) may have a title, but extending recognition to Somaliland is above his pay grade, as they say now.

Normally, the Broncos overcome a slow start by finishing with a flurry and recently, with a win.
Sunday against the Patriots, the Broncos started strong but then faded, thanks in large part to three second quarter turnovers which the Patriots turned into 13 points, en route to a 27-16 halftime lead.
Losses are hard enough to take. Losses in which a team feels its own mistakes played a pivotal role are even tougher to swallow.
Yet, despite falling to the Patriots, the Broncos are still in good shape to make the playoffs. They are still on track to win the division.
That's what I'm focusing on. Perspective is so key. Despite the disappointment of losing, the Broncos' big picture outlook remains bright. I'm not using the big picture to excuse away what happened against New England, but I am keeping in mind that not a lot changed for the Broncos because of the loss.
The Lions' dramatic one-point win over the Raiders kept Oakland one game behind Denver in the AFC West race. The Chargers are also a game back after defeating the Ravens. The Broncos know that if they take care of business against Buffalo and Kansas City, they will advance to the postseason.
And the good news is Denver has plenty of room to improve.
"We haven't played our best football yet but I think we feel good about the position we're in, in terms of the division race," cornerback Andre' Goodman said after the loss to New England. "Right now, that's the only thing we can focus on, and being able to play better, especially in big games like this."
Cornerback Champ Bailey said Sunday's loss needs to serve as a wake-up call.
"We need to concentrate on getting better," Bailey admitted. "We showed today we're not ready to go into the playoffs and make a push. We gotta get better. We have only two or three weeks to do it and if we don't, we'll be sitting at home."
I believe the Broncos will get better and I firmly believe they'll win the division. Why? Because they have the players who will take the loss to the Patriots to heart and who will redouble their efforts to improve, as Goodman and Bailey suggested they need to do.
In addition, Sunday's loss, while disappointing, had to convince the Broncos they indeed belong in the playoff picture and indeed are capable of making a push if they get there.
"We learned we can play with those guys and win the physical battle," quarterback Tim Tebow told 850KOA after the game. "We can score points on a team like that and our defense can stop them. We just have to do it a little more consistently and we can't turn the ball over."
One game lead in the division. Room to improve. The type of players and coaches that will put the effort in order to get better. Take care of things and the Broncos know they are in the playoffs.
Those are all reasons which make the loss to the Patriots a bit easier to stomach.
Do you think the Broncos will win the AFC West and advance to the playoffs? I'd love to get your thoughts.
Thanks for reading and posting.

Spreading Their Wings By Jim Stokes Buffalo Wild Wings AV installs are customer pleasers.
Taking in a lot of videos is possible at Buffalo Wild Wings - especially if you have more than one pair of eyes!
Nostalgia can be a powerful force. Going back in time, it can calm the restless world around us. And it can be the start of a business with more than 300 stores. Here, we're concerned about the latter. So, we'll go back in time to 1981, when two young men living away from home had a craving for some home cooking. Rather than shuffle off to Buffalo for the food's namesake, they founded what was to become today's Buffalo Wild Wings (BWW) across the US. Food, pleasant surroundings and AV-based entertainment are all part of BWW's successful mix. Although we can't offer you a tasty treat right here, we can delve into how AV is an important component in the stores' fame and fortune. Spreading Their Wings Before we discuss the "stores'" (restaurant lingo) AV attributes, let's look at how the restaurant chain evolved. According to the company's website, Jim Disbrow and Scott Lowery had transplanted to Kent OH and longed for authentic Buffalo NY-style chicken wings. Rather than head home, they opened a "wing joint" in Kent. That was the beginning of Buffalo Wild Wings & Weck (BW3), now called Buffalo Wild Wings Grill & Bar restaurants (BWW). Today the stores offer a full menu and an atmosphere aimed at wide demographics, ranging from families to avid sports fans. People can hang out with friends, play on-screen interactive trivia, watch sports events or other entertainment on many big-screen TVs, and enjoy karaoke. Minneapolis-based BWW's concept is the result of research and careful evaluation, creative planning and years of experience. Stores have evolved since 1982 in response to customer preferences. However, three core objectives have remained unchanged: quality food, value pricing and entertaining atmosphere. AV Install Evolution Cornerstone Communications, Un-ion KY, has done 215 of the AV installs in the 320-plus company-owned and franchised BWWs. Cornerstone installation crew foreman is Bob Carr, and company president Bob Toerner explains here the design and installation of the Mount Prospect IL store as an example of an advanced AV install. But first, some background about how the AV systems have developed. Although Cornerstone does the lion's share of the installs, there are three approved vendors. Toerner explained that BWW did that "because the company had a bunch of 'ma and pa's' coming in, in some of the cities, that were selling equipment that just didn't meet certain standards. So, BWW has since set installation standards." Toerner noted that some stores have a standardized video system and others are moving more toward component video and hi-def. "When I first started [11 years ago], it was a mess," Toerner said. "They were putting in home-style sound systems, like someone's stereo. Pretty low tech. There was such a rag-tag bunch of vendors doing these stores and there was no standardization."
Toerner noted that he designed his whole business around serving BWW. "I was pretty much their own AV company for a long, long time." Now, with three approved vendors, Corner-stone's installs are done with the same high standards but at a more moderate pace. "The AV equipment has evolved," he said, "and I've been the primary architect of that audiovisual design. It has evolved from the original days where we used C-band satellite equipment. Now we primarily use DirecTV and the stores have been very, very happy with it. The biggest change over the past seven years has been moving to industrial grade audio and video equipment." He pointed out that satellite receiver feeds depend on the complexity of the particular store. Most of the stores have eight to 12 satellite receivers in the rack. Some of the older stores are just standard video, whereas the newer venues are moving toward extended definition and hi-def. Mount Prospect Install BWW stores are not cookie-cutter because their layout depends on customer research. Similarly, the AV system is customized. A good example is the four-store, Barrington-IL headquartered Buffalo Wings franchise group, called Here's Wings, LLC, of which John Weiler is one of the owners. "One of the things that appealed to us as we looked at the concept was the [customer] age range: from 2 to 80," Weiler offered. He noted that equipment varied "a bit" among the Here's Wings group. "We've gone to plasmas and projectors at our Round Lake Beach and Mount Prospect stores, but we have projectors-only in the Algonquin and Skokie stores." The AV media helps to draw in customers. "We have a sports-oriented theme, although we're a moderately priced family restaurant. So, if there's a big sporting event, we're packed." The Mount Prospect install is a good example of a full-blown AV install by Cornerstone Communications. Toerner noted that interactive video games are provided by the NTN (Trivia Network) satellite feed, allowing people to compete with others around the country in a variety of sports and entertainment categories. The NTN and DirecTV satellite signals are fed to Samsung hi-def component video-out and Hughes standard component video-out receivers for the various video screens throughout the venue. Toerner explained that Cornerstone uses Liberty cable, which is a special cable with three RG6 cables in one jacket. "It delivers a much higher quality picture," he offered. Thus, the integrity of the high-definition satellite signal is maintained, from the dish on the roof to the Spaun multi-switch in the rack to the hi-def receivers, then through the Liberty cable and on to the Dukane/Hitachi LCD projectors shooting onto custom 120-inch Da-Lite screens and the LG plasmas. Regarding the Dukanes, Toerner said, "I bought a bunch of them because these heavy-duty models are so reliable." He noted that, in most of the stores, cable with satellite feeds is combined to expand program choices, especially local sports with satellite-accessed sports. "At the combiner, we combine cable channels 2 through 86 then put the satellite receivers on their own modulators that would come in on, say, channels 100 through 106. And we make channel separation to make the picture nice and clear. So the satellite has its own channels. That would include providing NTN trivia with its own channel." Putting this into a BWW scenario, folks who like trivia brain teasers would be seated in a booth or table and chairs playing NTN trivia. People in the dining room would be watching their local team. And folks seated at the bar would be watching the game. Furthermore, an exciting game need not be missed during nature calls, because the game is sent to the restroom monitors as well. Specifically, the Mount Prospect venue offers a lot of viewing choices. AV consists of six Dukane LCD projectors with Da-Lite screens, more than 40 combinations of 27- and 32-inch LG TVs and three LG bar plasmas: a 60-inch flanked by a 42-inch on each side. Simple to Operate Access is by the simple-to-operate, familiar TV remote control. "The system has to be operated intuitively," stated Toerner. "With a remote control, bartenders and waitresses know that cable, satellite and NTN are on certain channels. And that's all they need to know." The added expense of a key-pad touch system behind the bar was a problem. "We have deliberately kept most of the system to a lower tech, RF distribution system in most installations." Related, video switching and routing added to the install package would also be considered expensive. "Ninety percent of the time, the franchises want to keep it lower tech and simple to operate. "In John Weiler's Mount Prospect store," Toerner offered, "it's kind of a hybrid in that all of the television sets are fed an RF signal. Let's take the example of projector #1 behind the bar: There's a dedicated hi-def satellite receiver that feeds that projector. Out of that same projector, there's a lower tech, composite video output. We feed that to a modulator that feeds the same signal to the TVs in the house."
A typical Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant, this one in Mt. Prospect IL.
An example of such use would be several football games, all on at the same time on a Sunday. Rather than have the added expense of making the feeds all hi-def, just the basic composite outputs to the modulators go to the TVs. And as mentioned, there are also Hughes composite output satellite receivers feeding TV sets as well. So composite video can be fed both ways, increasing the capability of the feeds. Mounts for plasmas and TVs were a concern. "We chose Peerless because it's an extremely strong bracket," said Toerner. "They're built like a tank." Considering the hoopla generated by sports, a broken mount could result in the loss of an expensive video monitor. "We've seen instances where TVs were literally pulled off the wall from what we call 'the beer factor.' Peerless mounts are well-engineered and my guys are familiar with them. And [the company] is good about getting things delivered to the job site." Looking at the variety of mounts, he noted the projectors use a universal ceiling mount because, "in time, we're going to have to replace that projector. If the mount worked only with that projector and the model changed, that would be $200 to $300 thrown away. So we keep a constantly adjustable bracket in the mix." Unistrut adjustable support channels are affixed to the ceiling. Then, custom-length heavy-duty pipes are inserted to align the height of the TVs. "You don't realize it when you go into a building, but the roof isn't flat. A roof can vary as much as two feet front to the back of the building for water runoff. So we measure every single pipe from the ceiling bracket to the floor so the TVs are all height-aligned. That's one of the little touches we do to make sure every TV is the same height. It looks nice and neat that way." Other specialized mounts include double TV hangers/cross support, tandem TV hangers and curved hanging mounts for each of the three plasmas. Regarding the curved hanging mounts, Toerner explained, "Each of those plasmas is on its own support pipe. Because of the weight, we didn't want to take the chance of doing double hangers. We opted on the safe side. And it looks better cosmetically. The weight is counter-balanced, so it can hang dead straight plumb from the ceiling." Sound System Moving to the audio side of the install, Cornerstone came up with the solution to the problem of store employees fiddling with the EQ. Two customized Rolls Belari sound mixers that bear the "Cornerstone" name have no EQ controls and provide inputs for TV sound, jukebox, background music and the karaoke package. "They do a great job with this little bulletproof mixer. They make 30 or 40 of these special custom units at a time for us. "The way I look at it," Toerner said, "TV sound is mixed the way it's supposed to be mixed. The satellite is not filtered at that point, and we should feed it to the house flat. So this mixer stops our getting goofy service calls where somebody adjusted the sound system out of whack." The mixer allows the karaoke DJ or a local radio station to patch into the wall plate in the dining room. They can feed music, an interview, company party or other special event sound over the house system. The mixer signal is fed to a 225 watt QSC power amplifier. "QSC is so reliable," said Toerner. "We put it in the rack, then just vacuum out the dust and smoke that's in the venue. I can count the number of service calls on one hand after more than 200 store installs." The amplifier's four channels are assigned to the bar, dining room, patio and kitchen/restrooms. House speakers are SoundTube RS800s. "I've been using SoundTubes for a long, long time. We've gone to using more and smaller speakers, and spreading them out for better coverage. So, in a typical bar situation, we found that six to eight speakers placed high in the ceiling get great coverage." Electro-Voice EVid 4.2Ts are mounted in the patio corners. "They have a nice easy mount, and are really solid weather speakers. And they're sexy-looking," Toerner added. Along the lines of simplicity, an RDL jukebox relay is a simple audio sensing control that automatically turns off the TV sound in the room as soon as the relay senses there's music playing and lets the jukebox music come through. That takes any switch-turning burden off the already-busy bartenders or other employees. In addition, there's a DVD/VCR for training AVs or special-events showings such as a Little League game or a company award tape.

Mersey memorial plans for 'Cockleshell heroes'
A MEMORIAL to a group of soldiers is being prepared ahead of the 70th anniversary of their daring World War II mission.
The raid on German ships in a French harbour by the "Cockleshell Heroes" shortened the war by six months, according to Winston Churchill.
Now a plinth with a plaque outlining their exploits – including Albert Laver, from Birkenhead – could soon be placed on the promenade at Woodside, in Wirral.
The council is seeking planning permission for a memorial plaque and plinth to the heroic mission, officially known as Operation Frankton, as the 70th anniversary of the raid nears.
It is hoped, if planning approval is given, the memorial could be in place by the end of the year.
A spokesman for Wirral Council said Lord Ashdown, a former Special Forces Commando, had written to the mayor asking if it "would be appropriate for Birkenhead to honour this extraordinary citizen on or near to the 70th anniversary of the raid".
The spokesman added: "The Mayor indicated that he had discussed this with the Leader and had agreed to the request.

Canon 8800f with OS X Lion
Hi everyone. Anyone using the Canon 8800f scanner with a Mac running Lion?
I've recently switched to an iMac from a PC, and I've downloaded & installed all the latest Canon drivers for the 8800f for Mac OS X Lion from their website, (http://software.canon-europe.com/products/0010501.asp), but it's just the driver & MP Navigator EX that's available. With just these two installed, I can't invoke Canon Scangear using Lightroom or Picasa, etc. Scangear is what I use to scan my 35mm film and it has been a breeze using it on the PC, but I'm getting frustrated on it's unavailability on the Mac. I've tried looking here http://software.canon-europe.com/sof...053.asp?model=, but only Scangear for Mac OSX 10.6 is available, not 10.7. What do you guys use to invoke ScanGear using on OSX 10.7, if at all? If not, what scanning software do you use? Would appreciate any help, thanks in advance. |

Try this... Make sure Scanner is connected ( and powered up ) Then... Black Apple > System Preferences > Print & Scan. That will hopefully allow you to access the scanner. Hope that helps some. ( It seems to be another known issue with some Canon gear ) Regards. Z |

How about installing Scangear 10.6? Lion doesn't automatically require updates for all printers and scanners.

If worst comes to worst and you can't find a Canon solution, VueScan definitely works in Lion (I use it every day), support the 8800F, and will provide vastly superior results, anyway.

In the interest of full disclosure, I own a Canon CanoScan scanner. However, I do virtually all of my scanning using Apple's wonderful bundled Image Capture utility. Third-party applications use the manufacturer's atrocious TWAIN UI. I also do not use any of the manufacturer's utilities. You have numerous options from Picasa and others to upload your photographs to the Picasa website. Presumably, Scangear was not updated because it is obsolete and better options are available. Move on.

Thanks for the tip, Z..but this doesn't do what I need the scanner to do..and that is to scan film. However, I think it'd be great for scanning documents and such. Quote:

The Canon 8800f. Seriously, just try it. See if you can. Why not write a walkthrough if you really think it's possible.

So you came up with the notion that Image Capture cannot scan film based on your experience with one single scanner? Having said that, I have no idea what your problem is. You have a flatbed scanner. I don't have the CanoScan 8800F, but I do own a CanoScan 8400F. Like your CanoScan 8800F, my CanoScan 8400F includes film guides. Place your film in the guides and scan. What is it about your scanner that makes this impossible?

Ok then MisterMe: based from my experience, I cannot scan photographic film using Image Capture with the Canon 8800f. There. More precise. Happy?
Do you have any processed film at hand right now? If you do (which I think you don't), then place it on your scanner & then try to scan it using your eberlubbin' Image Capture. It WILL scan, but the resulting file will still be a negative..not a positive image. The colors will all be reversed. This is not the way it works with a dedicated scanning software. |

Hey I am a beginner surfer. I have been surfing for only about 3 weeks, but i am able to stand up and manuever (only a tiny bit ) a NSP 6.8' funboard, on small waves. I have been renting from a place near the beach. I am 12 years old (girl), and my mom decided it would be cheaper to buy a board than rent one now, since we have been going atleast twice a week. She also believes i will grow out of the funboard im riding on now soon, so she wants to buy only a second hand board . Is this true? Will I want a shorter board soon? And if so , how short. If we do buy a second hand board, Im worried it wont feel right and i will stop riding because the board is uncomfortable. Is there any way to make sure I get a similar board? I dont know the exact dimensions of the one im renting, but it is definately 6.8'. i am about 50 kgs and im maybe 165 cm tall. can anybody give me any advice where to get the cheapest second hand boards? Im in Cape Town, South Africa. Ive tried gumtree and craigslist. I also want to get a wetsuit, but I have no idea what size. Please advise.
So can anyone give me advice on these two things:
how can i make sure i will be comfortable with the board i buy
what size wetsuit will fit me
Thank you so muchh.

A study in the January 2013 issue of Anesthesiology offers evidence that variations in what is called the NFκB gene could play an important role in helping to determine the survival rate of patients who acquire sepsis, a condition in which the body is overwhelmed by infection, and which is the leading cause of death in hospitals.
"Wide variability exists regarding the outcome of patients with severe sepsis, and some of the variability regarding the risk of dying could be caused by genetic variations," said lead study author Michael Adamzik, M.D., Associate Professor, Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine, University Duisberg-Essen, Essen, Germany. "Our study unravels the molecular mechanism by which a common genetic variation in the regulation region of the NFκB gene may amplify and perpetuate inflammation and infection due to sepsis."
Using blood from human subjects, Dr. Adamzik and his research team found that patients with a specific genetic variation (58 percent of the study group) showed, after infection, a two-fold increase of a subunit protein called NFκB-1 and more inflammation compared to patients with other genotypes.
The NFκB genetic pathway is believed to be responsible for amplifying inflammation that takes place in sepsis. Dr. Adamzik's study seems to indicate that the protein NFκB-1, specifically, could affect the key mechanism of sepsis and possibly influence patient survival rates.
"This genetic variation turned out to represent both an important and independent predictor of mortality in our patients," said Simon Schäfer, M.D., Research Assistant, Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine, University Duisberg-Essen. "Patients with one genetic variant were associated with an almost two-fold greater risk for death during sepsis.

Dr. Adamzik stated that future studies should work to unravel whether anti-inflammatory sepsis treatment should be adjusted in patients according to their genotype.

Twins Trade Johan
Hey ya'll… I should have known
it. Known what? Well, while standing around Mike Radcliff, Jim Rantz and Bill
Smith on Saturday, I heard little things like "I thought maybe you would
let the cat out of the bag to that
guy" or see the like when I hear "we will do what is best for the Minnesota
Twins." I thought something was up. I couldn't help but wonder if the Twins and
someone had already made a deal. Maybe they were already in their 72 hour
period where Santana and the other team were negotiating an extension. Maybe
they were just waiting until after the positive weekend that was Twins Fest was
over before dashing the hopes of the Twins fans that held on to a glimmer of
hope that the Twins might find a way to lock up Johan for five more years.
And Tuesday afternoon, it
happened. Santana was traded. Or at least, the Mets and Twins came to an
agreement on players for a Johan Santana
trade. After and offseason of rumor after rumor, the deal was finally reached…
and I was giving a presentation for work. It wasn't until a couple of hours
later that I found out. How disappointing is that!??!?!
So, your next question must be:
Seth, how disappointed are you in the Twins trading Johan Santana to the New
York Mets for Carlos Gomez, Philip Humber, Kevin Mulvey and Deolis Guerra? Well, let me break that question into several parts to
answer the question:
1.) How disappointed are you that the Twins traded Johan
Santana? A little bit. After the signings of Justin Morneau and Michael Cuddyer, I was one of those Twins
fans that just wanted the Twins to go back to Santana and offer one more year,
and maybe even an option for a sixth year. That said,
I am also realistic enough to know that that was not going to happen. I had
actually resigned myself to the reality that the Twins could have one more year
of Johan Santana's excellence. Or they could have, in this case, at least six
years of Carlos Gomez, six years of Philip Humber, six or seven years of Kevin Mulvey
and potentially the next eight or nine years of Deolis Guerra. That is simple math, folks. One year of Santana, or
upwards of 24-25 roster years of four prospects. The reality is that for the
betterment of the Twins organization the best, smartest thing to do was to
trade Santana.
2.) …to the New York Mets? The bonus here is that the
Twins will only need to face him under three scenarios; a couple of tune-up
spring training innings, interleague play, and the World Series. For Santana, I
think he will enjoy playing the whole game of baseball, something that American
League teams and its fans unfortunately don't get to see on a daily basis.
Santana can hit, run and do it all.
3.) …for Carlos
Gomez? Now, I'm a little hesitant to crown Gomez the next Carlos Gomez.
That isn't fair to him or for Twins fans to expect. What he has right now is
speed, a lot of speed. When someone is faster than the Mets Jose Reyes, you
know he is fast. He will steal a lot of bases. He will cover a lot of ground in
centerfield. Some scouts claim that he will potentially hit for power. Well,
not much in his minor league resume gives us that hope (but then again, there
wasn't anything in Ellsbury's either). To me, with
his speed, he needs to really focus on his on-base skills. Like the old saying
says, "You can't steal first." That will come with time. Gomez was forced to
the big leagues in 2007 because of injury. I don't think a half-season of AAA
would hurt him. Unfortunately, I don't know if he will get that. I think that the
Twins will want him in centerfield.
4.) …for Phil
Humber? He was the #3 pitcher taken in the 2004 draft. He's got a lot of
skill, and after Tommy John surgery, he had a solid, but unspectacular, season
at AAA New Orleans in 2007. I think he could just get stronger and potentially
be a #2 pitcher at best. He should be a solid #3 though, already in 2008.
5.) …for Kevin Mulvey? He is compared frequently to Kevin Slowey, but the numbers are not at all the same. Mulvey is liked and yet until he got to the minor leagues,
he was just a decent college pitcher (according to the numbers). With different
stuff than Humber, he could also be a #2 at best, but could is more likely a
solid #3 or #4.
6.) …for Deolis Guerra? If
Fernando Martinez wasn't available (and he obviously wasn't), the Twins had to
get Guerra. He is another very young guy who at age 18 last year was pitching
adequately in the Florida State League. I don't know why the Mets rushed him,
and I hope that the Twins send him to Ft. Myers to at least start the season,
but when it comes to potential, Guerra could be a very good #2, maybe better.
But he is (and should be) two years away, AT LEAST.
If you read the Comments below,
"Bill from Sarasota" pointed out something I wrote last month when I wrote
about my Get to Know 'Em on the
Mets Prospects:
the Mets would offer Carlos Gomez, Mike Pelfrey OR
Philip Humber, Kevin Mulvey and one other prospect, I
think that the Twins would have to consider it. If that prospect was Deolis Guerra, they would be silly to say no.
Well, I don't know what to make
of that, but it is kind of cool, and I'm glad Bill mentioned it, or I wouldn't
have remembered it.
Other Thoughts
Based on comments I have read other places or
have heard, I do have a couple of other thoughts that I want to post:
Yes, I preferred either
of the Red Sox deals or the Yankees deal. I just don't know if either was
really ever on the table as an official offer. I definitely subscribe to the
theory that the Red Sox were just throwing out names and quotes and such all
along to keep the Yankees, who needed Santana more, from getting him for cheap.
The Twins LOVED that those two teams were throwing names out there so that the
Mets, who actually needed Santana, would at least think that they had some
competition. So, when I hear "Why wouldn't they choose the Yankees package?" or
"Wouldn't you prefer Ellsbury?" I can't help but say "Yes,
but I don't think that the Twins really were ever actually offered those guys.
And, the truth is that we will never know. GMs and teams have to be a bit
guarded on that because they don't want other teams thinking that they would
play that game, but they have to.
Yes, I would have
preferred Fernando Martinez too (to Carlos Gomez or to any one of the
pitchers). But clearly that wasn't an option. Martinez is just 19 and although
maybe he could be ready by 2010, or even late 2009, I also know that the Twins
did want some immediate help. Gomez is closer than Martinez. Humber is likely
ready. Mulvey is very close. It was also unlikely
that the Twins could get both Guerra and Martinez, the Mets two prospects with
the biggest upside.
Honestly, there
is a part of me that is simply glad it is done, or at least to this point.
After this many months of speculation and nearly every prospect mentioned, it will be very nice to just have it done, to know who the
Twins are receiving and to move forward. Now we can start projecting lineups
and rotations and such. Now we can sit down and project our 2008 Minnesota
Twins roster.
Disappointed or
not, the Twins option was to lose him at the end of the 2008 season and get two
draft picks in 2009. Four prospects, three who are close to the big leagues and
one with major upside is likely a better return than the Twins would have been
able to get from two draft picks.
I have also heard
people 'complain' that the Twins have so many #3 and #4 starters in the big
leagues and in their system. I have to ask you this… how much money is the
average free agent #3 or #4 pitcher getting these days? I believe a number
between $8 and $12 million? Also, enough of the Twins pitching prospects, in my
mind, have the ability to be #2s. Of course, Francisco Liriano could be an Ace. So, I
don't think that there is such a thing as too many pitching prospects or even
too many #3 starters.
Projected Twins
Best Lineup (now that we can discuss it): Carlos
Gomez/Jason Pridie
CF, Joe Mauer
C, Delmon Young LF/RF, Justin Morneau 1B, Michael Cuddyer RF/LF, Jason Kubel
DH, Brendan Harris 2B, Mike Lamb 3B, Adam Everett SS… that is a very solid lineup, I would say. Good
hitters 2-8. Good potential at #1. Gomez bats right handed, Pridie
bats left-handed, so I'm not suggesting a straight platoon because Gomez needs
to play against righties too and eventually become the everyday guy. But use
both and don't put too much pressure on both. Let them both be successful.
Based on that… this
trade may not be the best thing that happened to Craig Monroe's chances of making $3.8 million this year, rather
than $800,000 if he doesn't get out of spring training.
Alright, enough of my thoughts. To summarize, I am neither thrilled nor disappointed with the news of the specifics of the trade today. It was bound to happen and the Twins likely took the best offer available to them. Now it is your turn, what are your thoughts? Send me an e-mail, or let's talk about it in the Comments here.

You, sir, are a credit to the human race. Now, shut up and take my money.

I think chicken periods are utterly disgusting and I wouldn't eat them to save my mother's life, but this is cool enough to own a mini share of Etsy. Rock out 10 of them and put them in a store.
Thank you. That sounds like a good idea. (I made it in a 2 hour x 10 week pottery class for $150.)
If I were to do such a thing, how much do you think people would pay?
I'm still working out the microwave power/timing, but it seems like my bread-shaped egg cooker is a success.
I finished my bread-shaped egg cooker.
Imma have me a egg sammich fo breffiss tamary!
Here's the latest on my Monkey Jesus. It's drying now. I'm thinking that maybe I should have formed the rolled-up canvas in the sides.
I can still do it when it's dry, but it's easier when it's wet. C'est la vie.
This is what happens when you're not allowed to kick some ass at pottery class.
But it's against the rules to hit each other, so I guess I'll just work on my Monkey Jesus…
The first stage of my next pottery project.
Clay Monkey Jesus - IN 3D!
I'm making a bread-shaped egg cooker for perfect egg sandwiches.
The awesome glaze did some cool things on the irregularities of the face-off statue.
This one is water-tight and has no damage. You know, besides the whole face being blown off thing. I'm looking forward to drinking the still-warm blood of my enemies yummy margaritas out of it.
Even if my statue-cup didn't leak, I wouldn't use it to drink out of because of this crack. This makes it very fragile because any impact would be concentrated on this already-damaged point.
This crack is also due to the piece drying too fast.
These cracks inside the Easter Island statue are the reason it leaks. Porcelain clay needs to dry slowly, and I broke that rule. Also, everything made with porcelain clay should have consistent thickness throughout the piece, and I broke that rule in a big way.
I do like how the color came out (it's a little darker than this shot). I wanted it to look like blood has been drunk out of it in a bizarre pagan ritual.
The third iteration was made with consistent thickness in mind and is currently drying s-l-o-w-l-y in a plastic bag with a tiny vent at the bottom in a cabinet of the pottery classroom. I'll finish it in the Fall session.
In this close-up, you can see the natural, aged look the glaze gives the piece. The mottled reddish parts and the green accents governed by the topology contribute to the look. I like that the lip-groove is a nice line of green, like something is growing in there.

Spurring Job CreationPosted Friday, September 16, 2011, at 4:33 PM
Dear Friend,
This week, I introduced the America's Energy Independence Act, which would prevent the Environmental Protection Agency from enforcing its overreaching Cross-State Pollution Rule for 10 years. These regulations were recently updated in 2005. This bill is designed to avoid a huge increase in the cost of electricity that American families simply cannot afford. It should be America's priority to keep the flow of electricity high and the cost of electricity for America's families low. Additionally, I introduced the Invest in America Act which would suspend the capital gains tax for 10 years, providing more certainty to families who are being penalized for selling their homes, their investments, and farms. I encourage both sides of the aisle to support these bills and other common sense solutions to help put Americans back to work. It is my hope that we can work toward the right policies to create jobs without additional wasteful spending paid for on the backs on small business and job creators. Americans want results and we need jobs. I am ready to act and work together in order to put American back on the right track. There are places we can find agreement in order to help job creators grow and put Americans back to work. We need regulatory relief for small businesses and job creators, we need to keep taxes low for hardworking Americans, and we must address and improve our nation's infrastructure. Sincerely, Stephen Fincher |

i can't wait to put my hands on it i'm a big fan of witcher story and i believe in CD project red with this one
I loved the feel of The Witcher series, but the UI really took me away from enjoying the game experience. I hope CDprojekt do a good job making the UI an aid, and not an obstacle, to enjoy the game.
My favorite film is Blade Runner, and my favorite game is System Shock 2. This game looks like a culmination of the two. It looks perfect!
Wasn't DeusEx HR something like this??? same gender? The teaser was spectacular. perfect match. song + image
This makes me wish I had gotten a chance to play the pen & paper game. What a cool dude.
Hopefully this game will spark a trend in gaming for more video games dealing with the cyberpunk genre itself! There are very few cyberpunk video games, especially newer ones. Most mainstream popularity for the genre died in the early 2000's post-dot-com bubble. Here's hoping.
It's so gratifying to listen to an artist and creator that remains uncompromising about the integrity of his/her vision.

Lord Sri Krishna was born on Ashtami day or the eighth day after Raksha Bandhan during the Hindu month of SHRAVAN. As the story goes he was born in the dark half of the month and at the darkest hour of midnight. But the birth of Vishnu's incarnation was to bring joy and give security to the suffering humanity.
Eid is a Muslim holiday that marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting, Roza. Eid is an Arabic word meaning "festivity", while Fiṭr means "breaking the fast". The holiday celebrates the conclusion of the 29 or 30 days of dawn-to-sunset fasting during the entire month of Ramadan. The first day of Eid, therefore, falls on the first day of the month Shawwal. This is a day where Muslims around the world try to show a common goal of unity. It is a day of recognizance of God.
