Active Standard ASTM E2862 | Developed by Subcommittee: E07.10
Book of Standards Volume: 03.03
Significance and Use
The POD analysis method described herein is based on a well-known and well established statistical method. It shall be used to quantify the demonstrated POD for a specific set of examination parameters and known range of discontinuity sizes when the initial response from a nondestructive evaluation inspection system is ultimately binary in nature (that is, hit or miss). This method requires that a relationship between discontinuity size and POD exists and is best described by a generalized linear model with the appropriate link function for binary outcomes.
Prior to performing the analysis it is assumed that the discontinuity of interest is clearly defined; the number and distribution of induced discontinuity sizes in the POD specimen set is known and well-documented; discontinuities in the POD specimen set are unobstructed; the POD examination administration procedure (including data collection method) is well-defined, under control, and unbiased; and the initial response is ultimately binary in nature (that is, hit or miss). The analysis results are only valid if convergence is achieved and the model adequately represents the data.
The POD analysis method described herein is consistent with the analysis method for binary data described in MIL-HDBK-1823A, which is included in several widely utilized POD software packages to perform a POD analysis on hit/miss data. It is also found in statistical software packages that have generalized linear modeling capability. This practice requires that the analyst has access to either POD software or other software with generalized linear modeling capability.
1. Scope
1.1 This practice defines the procedure for performing a statistical analysis on nondestructive testing hit/miss data to determine the demonstrated probability of detection (POD) for a specific set of examination parameters. Topics covered include the standard hit/miss POD curve formulation, validation techniques, and correct interpretation of results.
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

Policy Dynamics
To investigate these questions, Policy Dynamics draws on the most extensive data set yet compiled for public policy issues in the United States. Spanning the past half-century, these data make it possible to trace policies and legislation, public and media attention to them, and governmental decisions over time and across institutions. Some chapters analyze particular policy areas, such as health care, national security, and immigration, while others focus on institutional questions such as congressional procedures and agendas and the differing responses by Congress and the Supreme Court to new issues.
Policy Dynamics presents a radical vision of how the federal government evolves in response to new challenges-and the research tools that others may use to critique or extend that vision.

Rumor: GM's OnStar to possibly support Twitter
Most Twitter addicts have been guilty of stoplight tweeting (an epic race against the clock to squeeze in 140 characters before the light turns green), but if recent rumors are true, General Motors is going to make TWD (Twittering While Driving) much safer if they integrate the Twitter microblogging service into OnStar.
The rumor originates with a blogger at Gear Live. While filling out an OnStar survey, he noticed this tidbit:

Kenya Returns Stars for USA 7s |
Tournaments - USA Sevens Tournament | ||
Special from Charles Ouko in Kenya Despite having their worst possible start to any HSBC World 7's series in recent times, Kenya is determined and sure of bouncing back in Wellington and, especially in front of their rabid USA fans at the USA 7s in Las Vegas February 10-12 (www.usasevens.com ). Even in their worst of times, Kenya has always been able to pull something out of the bag whenever they play in the USA. Kenya will be making their 9th consecutive appearance in USA 7s, much to the delight of their vocal and passionate support base. Las Vegas is the exact half way point in the 2011/12 season, and will be a key time for Kenya, whose start in the first three tournaments can only be described as woeful. With new head coach Mitch Ocholla, 35, taking over from Benjamin Ayimba, 37, the team had to do without many of its old hands and heads due to unavoidable circumstances. Speaking to Rugbymag in Nairobi, as the team trained in preparation for legs 4 and 5, Ocholla said the loss of captain Humphrey Kayange, plus the unavailability of at least five other core players, "meant that I embarked on my national team duties with the onerous task of having to rebuild the team from scratch." Core players who did not travel to the three opening legs were rugged forwards Victor Oduor, 29, and Ben Nyambu, 25, and backs Lavine Asego, 28, Bika Dema, 23, (both flyhalves) and team flyer Collins Injera, 25. Twice, Kenya has come just one game short of making the Cup Final in the USA, in 2008 and 2010. Both times they were stopped by New Zealand. In the 2009 tournament Kenya played one of their most notable games, beating New Zealand 24-7. However they lost to the Kiwis in the Plate Final that same tournament. In the last season, Kenya played Samoa in the Plate final and lost 15-26. "Not only do I have by core players all available for selection, but further the seven-week break from South Africa, and the opportunity to fine-tune in Wellington the week before, means that you our great fans in the US, can undoubtedly look forward to a memorable weekend." |

Q&A with Pat Neshek
Rochester Red Wings Closer
Good morning to everyone! Apparently the Twins had a big game last night against some right-handed pitcher making his first start of the year last night. I don't know. Maybe you watched it? I do have several thoughts on last night's Twins game, and you can find them below. I did have thoughts of doing a Pitching Analysis on Francisco Liriano and Roger Clemens for today, but I really just wanted to sit down and enjoy watching the game. And, it was a very good game! Also, you will find the minor league reports for the last two days. The two short-season teams have now started so the Minor League Reports will be extended the rest of the season.
But today, we have a different twist on the Q&A format. On this site, there have been quite a few Q&As with Twins minor leaguers. I was able to e-mail them questions and they responded to them. Over the weekend, I had an idea. I e-mailed Pat Neshek and asked if he would mind doing a Q&A with questions directly from the readers of this site. He was very happy to do that, excited to be able to answer questions from fans. So, Monday through Wednesday, readers were able to e-mail me their questions for Pat, and you came up with some really good ones. I sent the questions to Pat late on Wednesday night, and he responded very quickly.
Pat has been a good friend of SethSpeaks.net, and I know that he checks out this site every morning. Obviously that is exciting for me, but I am sure that it is interesting for the minor leaguers to 1.) get a feel for what Twins fans are thinking, and 2.) see how the other minor league affiliates and prospects did. Or, to see what I wrote about them! Scary! Maybe I should be nicer! But, Pat has already done two Q&As for this site. The first Q&A was before Spring Training in 2005. The second Q&A was last November, the week that he found out he had been added to the Twins 40 man roster. He was also one of several Twins minor leaguers to help us get ready for Spring Training this year by answering some questions of what Spring Training meant and what they hoped to do in 2006.
Now, I know that if you come to this site, you likely also read On the Road with Pat Neshek and have it bookmarked (if you don't, be sure you do!). The site is maintained solely by Pat. He discusses many things including the goings on with his team, discussion of a number of baseball topics, autographs and much, much more. The site has brought Pat a lot of attention. A month ago, Pat was featured in an article in Baseball America. He has done several Q&As for newspapers and other media. The site, and his pitching, have made him the top vote getter in AAA fan voting for the All-Star game, something that is truly amazing for a relief pitcher!
And, it is hard to talk about Pat without talking about just how amazing his 2006 season stats are. He truly is ready for the big leagues. Right now, he is just playing the waiting game and hoping for an opportunity, hoping for his first big league call up. Until then, he just continues to dominate AAA batters and wait for that phone call, or for the meeting with his manager where he finds out he has been promoted to the Twins. As a Brooklyn Park native, I can only imagine how much it will mean to don the Twins uniform for an official big league game for the first time. Pat has been to the Metrodome many, many times. He lived just minutes from there. But can you even imagine what it would be for him when he is standing on the pitcher's mound, ready to make his debut? I am getting chills just thinking about that feeling! And yes, I told Pat that I am hoping for a Q&A after he gets called up to the Twins. I am already prepared with my list of questions!
Anyway, Neshek is becoming a well-known pitching prospect now. However, if you check out his minor league numbers, he has been performing well each of his pro seasons. It is great to see him get all of this attention. He deserves it!
But, I am sure you are ready to read Pat's Q&A now, huh? Again, I must thank all of the readers who took the time to send me some questions for Pat. I also must thank Pat Neshek for taking the time to answer these questions. I hope that you will enjoy it too. If you have any comments for me or Mr. Neshek, please e-mail me, and I will try to answer your questions or forward them on to him and see if we can get you an answer. But also, be sure to fill the Comments today with questions, comments or support for Pat Neshek. Like I said, I am sure that he does read it.
Let Your Questions Begin!
The First Question
"once and for all, how do you pronounce your last name?! " - Sarah from Minneapolis
Pat Neshek: I get that a lot, it's basically Knee-Shack or Sheck…Whatever is easier for people to remember.
The Delivery
"How/when did you pick up your unique pitching delivery?" - Josh Williams from Eagan, MN
"Have you always thrown sidearm? If not, when did you switch and why?" - James M.
"I would like to know how Pat created and developed his unique throwing delivery." - Nathan Pesta from Bismack, ND
Pat Neshek: I actually was drafted by the Twins out of Park Center high school in Brooklyn Park throwing over the top. That same day of the draft I was hit on the forearm by Maple Grove and Minnesota Gopher CJ Woodrow during our last high school game. It hurt so bad throughout the entire summer I was not able to pitch but was able to play shortstop. While playing short the only position the throwing didn't hurt was sidearm. When I attended Butler in the fall I was able to go off a mound again and try to throw. Everything felt excellent and I couldn't believe I was back and able to throw. My coach at Butler Steve Farley couldn't believe how I was throwing and said that he didn't recruit me to throw that way but he liked what he saw. We tried a couple weeks to get back to throwing over the top but it didn't work and I have been that way ever since. The Twins once again liked what I was doing and drafted me again this time throwing from a completely different angle.
The Questions about The Lefties
"RHB's are batting .136 against you with nearly 2 K's per IP. Lefties are batting .267 with just over 1 K per IP. Are there certain types of lefties that give you a lot of trouble?" - James M.
"I'd like to ask Pat about his splits against righties and lefties. What is he doing to get more lefties out lately? He's been so dominant against right handed hitters." - Tony
"What type of pitches do you throw and are you working on anything particular to throw against left-handers?" - Swandog
Pat Neshek: Right now lefties are hitting 16 for 68, which comes out to a .235 average. This question has gotten really old the entire season and is the thing people have dogged me on the entire time. I told a lot of people that it is kind of like kicking someone when they are already down. I think at one point early in the season the average was at .450 and the word on lefties started getting out. Early in the season I was working on a lot of new pitches such as a slider that runs into lefties and a change-up. I would say three fourths of the hits I gave up to lefties were on those pitches. Since then I have scrapped those pitches for the most part and went with my best stuff, letting my fastball go hard and sink in the zone and throwing my slider backdoor. It has worked really well and I get a lot of groundouts now. I really can't remember too many lefty base hits in the last couple months that haven't been broken bat flares or grounders in the hole. I also wanted to comment on the HR's that I gave up to lefties. Early in the season I gave up 4 Home runs to lefties. Two were in blow out games where I was working on those pitches again, change up and inside slider. But the other two were bombs given up to the same guy, Scott Thorman on hard fastballs. The guy flat out beat me and I had to tip my hat to him. Well from there he went on to club a bunch more HR's and was called up last week to jump-start the Atlanta Braves. I don't do anything different to lefties and I actually feel pretty good facing them. By same comparison the Twins have a .307 batting average against as a staff. I have yet to hear anything about them getting out lefties. I understand that there is a difference between AAA and the bigs but I feel I can be a guy they turn to and get a lefty out if needed.
The Rochester Feelings
"How do guys like Bartlett and Kubel and obviously you -- who are all young and supposedly immature -- keep such a positive attitude playing in AAA knowing that you have the skills and talent to play on any Major league team right now? Is there a lot of grumbling behind the scenes? At age 23 I'd have had a meltdown if I felt I was being held back in my life somehow, and you guys are on a very public stage, which must make it worse. How is it now that Bartlett and Kubel have been called up and you are still waiting?" - Steven
"ask Neshek if he or other players get discouraged by the up and down treatment for guys like Cuddyer and Bartlett who never seem to get a fair chance in the bigs." - Aaron Kalina
Pat Neshek: It's tough and there has been a lot of grumbling in the clubhouse since the season started with some of the guys. I was really pleased to see Kubel and Bartlett get back up there, I kind of shook my head when they were down here because our team was so good and couldn't understand why they were holding these guys back. Ever since they got up there it looks like they have turned things around in MN a little. Hopefully they can keep it going. On my website people have heard me use the term "Climbing Mt. Everest with a fork." This basically means I have to work a lot harder to get my name out there and continue to put up numbers to get a shot in the bigs more than other guys on other teams do. It's very tough especially tough when you know you can really help the big league team win games. I know I will get a chance soon, I just hope it will come sooner than later.
Other Rochester Questions
"Now that the two Jason's are back in Minnesota, which Red Wing player or pitcher is most ready for The Show (other than yourself of course)?" -James M.
Pat Neshek: I would say Josh Rabe, I think he would hit the cover off the ball if he got a shot.
"How is Scott Baker taking the demotion? The worst thing that could happen is for that to mess up his confidence." - Nathan Gau
Pat Neshek: He's doing fine and his confidence is not shot at all. He's been pitching awesome and he'll be ready when they call him up again.
The Autographs
"As a collector, what is your favorite baseball card and why?" - Josh Williams from Eagan, MN
Pat Neshek: I like my first card in Elizabethton because it's my rookie card. I always wanted one of those since I was little and when I first saw it I thought it was the coolest thing. Other than that I like a lot of my signed cards nobody in general.
"About how many autographs do you have? Which is your most valuable in value? Which is your most valuable in memories" - from Brockman
Pat Neshek: I would estimate it at around 5000 signed cards. I'm not really sure which one is worth the most, I just try to get one from every player that has ever played the game and I'm nowhere near doing that haha! In terms of memories I would say either my Kirby Puckett ones I got when I was six or a Hank Aaron one I got TTM (through the mail) and returned to me 3 years later!
Who To Face?
"Would you rather face power hitters that strikeout a lot or high average, low power, put-the-ball-in-play guys?" - James M
Pat Neshek: It doesn't really matter. In college I would have said power guys but to tell you the truth if my pitches are on I don't care who is at the plate.
"What current major league hitter do you look least forward to facing and why?" - Josh Williams from Eagan, MN
Pat Neshek: I don't know, I think I would be happy to face anyone up there right now! Probably someone like Ichiro, I don't know.
"If you could pitch to any ball player, alive or dead, who would it be and why?" - Nick H.
Pat Neshek: It would be neat to face some of my older and current coaches. I have to admit that would be pretty cool. It would also be neat to face anyone from the early years of the game. I think it would be neat to see if today's game would dominate the guys who played in the 50's or before.
The Call Up
"I'm sure everyone is asking whether he has heard any info on when he gets called up. I'd think that he currently deserves a shot over one or two of the guys in the Twins pen." - Nathan Gau
Pat Neshek: Every couple days I hear that I'm getting called up and it hasn't been true once. The time will come, just have to have a little patience
Hockey Talk
"Growing up in Minnesota, did you play hockey, and are you a fan of the sport? Did you attend any of the state hockey tournaments in St. Paul?" - Nick H.
Pat Neshek: Yep, I played up until 10th grade. I never got into the traveling teams because I also played on a traveling basketball team the entire way up and didn't have too much time to do that. I have to say that hockey is the most exciting sport to play and to watch. I always love playing pick up games in the off-season and cannot wait until next year. I'm a big fan and love getting autographs in St. Paul when I have time. I never attended any state hockey games but watched a lot of them every year when they use to broadcast them on UPN 9 in MN.
Minor League Ball
"Minnesotans are fairly removed from the world of minor league baseball since we have no minor league teams here. What is one thing that would surprise us about minor league baseball that we might not think about here in Minnesota?" - Sarah from Minneapolis
Pat Neshek: It's really big and you guys are missing out big time. In the summer the crowds can exceed 12,000 people and it's really fun to come out to a game and watch some good baseball. A lot of people are missing out on autographs, which are a lot easier to get down here than in the Big Leagues. I always wished MN had a minor league team when I was growing up because you can see guys in the organization before they are stars. In college they had a lot of minor league teams nearby and I enjoyed going out to a game every now and then.
"One question would be whether or not he feels he loses something after two innings the few times he has been asked to go 3 innings? " - Roger Dehring
Pat Neshek: I actually feel I get stronger as I go. In college when I was a started that was the case with me. Innings 2 and 3 were always my toughest and from there I would cruise. I guess the thing now that is tough is that my role is closer yet each night I don't know if I'm going to go 2 or 3 innings. It's tough to prepare when you call yourself a closer yet have had only a handful of outings where I went one inning or less. It would be nice to go one inning like most closers in this league but it doesn't bother me and gets me ready for the big leagues.
"There's was much made of 'pre-hab' in "Moneyball", where pitchers would perform various exercises to limit the possibility of injury. Oakland would also send its prospects down to Dr James Andrews's clinic in Alabama to have their mechanics evaluated for the same reason. Do the Twins promote 'pre-hab' in any form?" - Charles Frenkel
Pat Neshek: In spring training and the lower levels they have guys do Dr. Jobe arm exercises. The exercises have been shown to strengthen the rotator cuffs, which would help lower the chances of getting hurt. At the higher levels guys do what they feel they have to do. I do these exercises about 2 times a week.
Real Winter Ball
"Another question would be whether or not he got anything positive out of the "winter" middle of the night games he played in the old Arlington Dome?" - Roger Dehring
Pat Neshek: Yep, it fulfilled my love to play the game at all hours of the year. I think playing at the dome during the winter really help me get ready for the season and strengthened my arm. There were numerous times I remember skipping out of school early so we could get to the dome at the right time and have it all to ourselves and take BP. I also remember driving (45 mins away) to that place after school four out of the five days of the week after winter (Jan-March) with teammate Steve Krueger just so we could play long toss. It really helped me out big time and I wish other high school guys could experience that today.
Pat, thank you very much for taking the time to answer these questions so well. Hopefully fans will understand just how busy the players are during the season. Also, on the road, you just don't know if you'll have wireless internet access in the hotel rooms. But as you can see from Pat's terrific website, he really takes the time to keep his fans informed and entertained. So, thank you!

I didn't watch all of the games over the weekend, but did note a few things. I am sure there are others, so please feel free to e-mail me or leave some Comments below.
So, all
the talk heading into last night's game was about the return of
Roger Clemens, one of the best pitchers in baseball history. And
really, it is all deserved and I don't have a problem with it.
However, I was also really excited about it as a Twins fan, and I
wrote the following e-mail to MLB.com radio the other day:
"I think it is great that Roger Clemens is coming back and
getting a lot of attention. As a Twins fan, I am really excited. It
is exciting for me to know that Francisco Liriano will get to
pitch in a game where the other pitcher is getting all the
attention. He will open the eyes of viewers across the nation. But I
am also excited for the country to get to see more of Joe Mauer
and Jason Kubel, and Justin Morneau and Jason
Bartlett. I feel that, as it is Clemens' first start, these
hitters could all do well and get noticed."
Now, Roger Clemens was fine. In five innings, he gave up just two runs on on six hits and two walks. Clearly, he wasn't at 100% yet. He threw 100 pitches in that time, and had two innings in which he threw more than 30 pitches. That will just take another start or two.
As much as I like to give grief to Dick Bremer and Bert Blyleven for some of the things they say, I enjoyed one particular discussion they had. Roger Clemens throws a split-fingered fastball. That was a pitch that made a lot of pitchers great in the 80s and early 90s, and now very few pitchers even throw it. My first thought is that maybe it is hard on a pitcher's arm and increased the odds of injury. But then, Roger Clemens is still throwing it at 42 years old and he has really never had a major injury. To me, it really seems like a tough pitch to hit as it comes in looking like a fastball, but then drops off the table. Can you even name any other pitchers who throws a split-finger or a fastball?
Think Roger Clemens is in Torii Hunter's head? He was 0-23 against Clemens coming into the game, and after the game he was 0-25 against Clemens. But, really, this is just another case of Torii being Torii. Clemens was struggling quite a bit in the game. The young hitters were able to take pitches. They seemed to be able to recognize his pitches. Why couldn't Torii? Against Clemens, he just hacked at everything. He gave so much credit to Shannon Stewart in 2003 for making him better just by watching the type of at bats the Stewart had (had because Stewart has not put together good at bats in two years). Does Hunter just not watch Joe Mauer? Does he not see what Jason Kubel does at the plate? Is he not seeing that Justin Morneau has taken better at bats and now look what he is doing? In an interview on SportsCenter before the game, someone asked if he would try to bunt for a hit off of Clemens. Torii laughed and said "No, that is weak, that is the weak way out. I'm going to try to hit doubles." Well, you're 0-25. It isn't about being proud. It's about getting on base, right? Just another example of Torii not being the leader that so many want to think he is.
By the way, it might be time for Joe Vavra to start getting a lot of accolades for what he has done. Justin Morneau has turned things around. Joe Mauer has actually gotten better in his second full season, something that just did not happen in the Scotty Ullger era. Nick Punto has actually improved some. Michael Cuddyer is having a breakout season. Of course, Vavra isn't a former big leaguer, so Torii Hunter doesn't have to listen to him, right?
OK, there is no way this should be the sixth bullet point, but Francisco Liriano was incredible again last night. it is a recurring theme in all of Liriano's starts. Dominance. Control. Poise. Velocity. Movement. He has got it all. He went a career high eight innings last night. He gave up a two run homer to Jason Lane in the 8th inning, but that was it. He gave up just four hits and walked two. He struck out seven. At what point is it fair to start asking if he is as good, or even better, than Johan Santana? I know he has to do this over more time, like three or four years as Santana has. But right now, who would you consider the Twins best starting pitcher?
And then where does Joe Nathan fit into that conversation. No, I am not putting a one or two inning guy in the same category as the two dominant starters. However, Nathan has multiple pitches that he can dominate hitters with. He throws his fastball in the upper nineties, and he has some sharp breaking off-speed pitches that freeze hitter. Having a guy like that at the end of games is really quite a weapon!
Justin Morneau went 3-3 last night with a walk. He had a single, a double and a homer run. So, one game after ending his 11 game hitting streak, Morneau may have started a new one! Just to keep the Morneau Pace updated, he is on pace to hit 39 homers and drive in 132 runs.
Jason Kubel had a really great at bat in the third inning. Yes, he hit the long double to score Luis Castillo for the Twins first run. That's great. That's the result of the at bat. But, he took some fairly close pitches for balls, and he fouled off some very tough pitcher's pitches. Kubel went 2-5 last night and just looks very smooth and comfortable with the bat. His defense is also greatly improved.
It is good to hear that when Shannon Stewart returns to the lineup (probably in a week or so), it will be Stewart who allegedly will be the DH. That is good news, however, I am not overly excited about it only because I will believe it when I see it. Stewart seems to have some sort of control over Gardy. Stewart has said that he doesn't want to DH, so we will see what really happens.
By the way, it might just be a small bullet point today, but the Twins signed their first round pick, Chris Parmalee yesterday. It was apparently an easy negotiation. It may be a small note now, but hopefully it is a huge point for the Twins future!
Jason Bartlett had a single off of Roger Clemens. He was 1-4. He is hitting .414 and has at least one hit in all eight of his big league games this season. He has also been the starting shortstop in all eight games that he has been up which is very good! Of course, maybe I shouldn't mention that he struck out in each of his three other at bats.
Tonight, the Twins come home and start a three game set against the Chicago Cubs. The Cubs are not good. They are 28-43 right now. Here are the pitching matchups for the series, followed by some notes heading into the series:
Friday - 7:10 - Johan Santana (7-4, 2.87, 1.00, .227) vs Carlos Marmol (1-1, 2.81, 1.06, .214)
Saturday - 6:10 - Boof Bonser (1-1, 5.81, 1.44, .291) vs Mark Prior (0-1, 17.18, 2.18, .389)
Sunday - 12:10 - Brad Radke (5-7, 5.84, 1.69, .344) vs Sean Marshall (4-5, 4.97, 1.39, .247)
Prior's numbers look horrible, and they are. Of course, those numbers are the result of one bad start. He gave up 8 runs (7 earned) in just 3.2 innings. He should be better than that. But, does anyone really want to see Joe Mauer get a few knocks off of him, maybe even a homer or two?
Jacque Jones is the subject of trade talks to the Yankees. We'll see. On the season, he is hitting .296/.328/.517 with 12 doubles, 13 homers and 36 RBI. He is hitting .321/.356/.558 against right-handers. He is hitting just .231/.254/.415 against left-handers this season. However, in June, Jones is hitting a robust .329/.351/.562.
Todd Walker, another former Twins player, plays a lot of 1B and 2B for the Cubs, but he does play other places as well. He is hitting .288 on the season. He is 4-19 (.211) over his past five games.
There is another former Twins player on the Cubs roster. On May 22nd, Henry Blanco was hitting .051/.156/.051. Since then, the backup catcher now has a nine game hitting streak. During that time, he has gone 16-32 (.500) with four doubles, three homers and 12 RBI. He is now hitting .254/.304/.437 for the season. Of course, he is not really the backup catcher right now as Michael Barrett is serving his 10-game suspension for his altercation with another former Twin, AJ Pierzynski, last month.
I give Shannon Stewart a hard time for being the worst leadoff hitter in the American League. But Juan Pierre is probably the worst, and most overrated, leadoff hitter in all of baseball. The speedy CF is hitting just .242/.290/.306 this year. Yes, he is 24/30 in stolen base attempts, but no leadoff hitter at any level should only get on base just 29% of the time!
Aramis Ramirez is currently on a six game hitting streak during which time he is 9-23 (.391). On the other end of the spectrum, rookie SS Ronny Cedeno is four for his last 26 (.154). OF Matt Murton is just three for his last 21 (.143).

If you have any thoughts on the Twins system, please e-mail me.
Wednesday - Red Wings – No Game Scheduled
Thursday - Red Wings 10, Louisville 2 – It was a good day for the Red Wings offense. Josh Rabe led the way by going 4-5 with three runs scored and two driven in. Garrett Jones went 2-5 with his 15th double and four RBI. Chris Heintz and Luis Maza were each 2-4. Mike Smith was the beneficiary of the run support. He improved to 5-3 by going the first 7.2 innings. He gave up two runs on eight hits and a walk. He struck out five. Matt Ford got the final four outs.
Wednesday - Rockcats 8, Bowie 7 – Matt Garza is human after all! Garza finally had what would be classified as a bad start. The righty went just two innings. He gave up seven runs (6 earned) on six hits and four walks. He struck out none. Jay Sawatski came in and went five shutout innings. He allowed three hits and struck out six. Justin Olson got the win by throwing two shutout innings and striking out three. Trent Oeltjen continues to lead the Rockcats offense. He went 3-4 with his seventh double and two RBI. Denard Span went 2-4 with a walk and a double. Doug Deeds was 2-4. JR Taylor went 1-2 with two walks.
Thursday - Rockcats 2, Bowie 3 – Glen Perkins had another good start, and for it he got a no decision. The southpaw went seven innings and gave up just two runs on five hits. He walked three and struck out nine. Tristan Crawford took the loss. He final 1.1 innings and gave up the winning run. He struck out three. Matt Tolbert got the start at 2B and went 2-4 with two doubles in his return to New Britain. Denard Span and Matt Moses each had a double. Trent Oeltjen hit his first homer.
Wednesday - Miracle 1, Lakeland 2 - Well, the Miracle got it to the final game, and Dunedin lost its third straight game meaning that the Miracle would be the division's first-half winner with a win. And they had their best pitcher on the hill. Kevin Slowey has been all-world for the Miracle in the first half. And he was excellent again on this night. He gave up two unearned runs in the 8th inning and took the loss. In 7.2 innings, he gave up four hits and two walks, and he struck out seven. Unfortunately, the Miracle could only manage three hits. Trevor Plouffe had a double.
NOTE - After the game, Slowey, Matt Tolbert and Garrett Guzman were promoted to New Britain.
Thursday - Miracle 4, Clearwater 3 (12) - Brandon Roberts singled in Luke Hughes with the winning run with two outs in the bottom of the 14th inning. Anthony Swarzak started and went five innings. He gave up two runs on four hits and four walks. He did strike out six. Jose Mijares continued to pitch well out of the bullpen. He threw two shutout innings. Chris Schutt gave up a run over the next three innings. Tim Lahey pitched the final two innings to improve to 4-0 on the season. The Miracle offense managed just seven hits on the game. No one had more than one hit. Justin Arneson had a triple. Trevor Plouffe hit a double. Alexi Casilla stole his 24th base.
Wednesday - Snappers – No Game Scheduled, returning from the All-Star break.
Thursday - Snappers 4, Lansing 3 – Drew Thompson and Paul Kelly have been the real deal for the Snappers this season. Thompson went 2-4 with two RBI. Kelly was 2-4 as well. Adam Hawes started and went four innings. He gave up three runs on three hits and three walks. You guessed it, he struck out three! Alexander Smit came in and threw two shutout innings, striking out three. Jose Cordero, Frank Mata and Yohan Pino each threw one shutout inning of relief. Mata picked up his fourth win, and Pino got his third save.
Wednesday - E-Town Twins 6, Bluefield 5 (13) – Henry Sanchez was sent back to E-Town and hit a homer in his first game. He was 2-6. Greg Yersich was 2-4 with a double. Alex Burnett made the season-opening start and was excellent. In six innings, he gave up no runs on just two hits. He walked none and struck out six. Matt Williams gave up three runs on two hits and three walks in his two innings. Danny Hernandez then gave up two runs (1 earned) on four hits and a walk. He struck out five. Minnesota native Aaron Craig threw two shutout innings. Brandon McConnell got the Win with one shutout inning. He struck out three, but he allowed a hit and a walk.
Thursday - E-Town Twins 6, Bluefield 11– The E-Town offense managed to get nine hits and seven walks in the game, but the pitching just did not come through. 2B Brian Dinkelman went 2-4 with a walk. He was the only player with more than one hit. 3B Garrett Olson went 1-2 with two walks. Jose Lugo started and went the first five innings. He gave up three runs on four hits and a walk, and he struck out seven. When Patrick Bryant came in, the score was still in reach, but he got just one out and gave up six earned runs on four hits and a walk. I wonder if he is second guessing his decision not to play football? But the highlight of the game may have been the performance of Matt Fox. The 2004 supplemental first round pick has been hurt most of his career and had a couple of surgeries. He went the final 1.2 innings without giving up a run. He gave up two hits and walked just one.
Wednesday - GCL Twins 6, GCL Reds 3 – Ludovicus "Loek" Van Mil, the 7-1 southpaw from The Netherlands made the first start of the year for the GCL Twins. He was very good. In 4.2 innings, he gave up two runs (1 earned) on just one hit. He walked four and struck out one. They say he is surprisingly coordinated for such a tall man, but I would imagine that finding that release point could be a difficulty, but it exciting to see such success from him in his first start. Joan Ortiz came in and got the Win by going 2.1 innings and allowing just one run. He gave up three hits and walked one. Brad Tippett got the save by throwing two shutout innings. Joe Benson, playing CF, went 2-4 with a double and an RBI. Wesley Connor was 2-4 with two RBI.
Thursday - GCL Twins 8, GCL Pirates 2 – Wilson Ramos led the offense going 2-4 with his second double and three RBI. Joe Benson was 2-4 with a walk and an RBI. 3B Juan Delgado was 2-4 with a walk, a triple and two RBI. Curtis Leavitt started and went the first four innings. He did not give up a run. He allowed three hits, but he walked none and struck out five. Carlos Garcia got the Win. He went three shutout innings and gave up just one hit. He walked none and struck out two. Luis Carreras gave up two runs on three hits. Jakob Toufar threw one shutout inning.
Do you have any further thoughts on any Twins prospects, minor leaguers, or these summaries? I would love any input, or ideas to make it better. Thanks! E-mail me, or also feel free to leave comments below.

DescriptionIn the summer of 1993, Alan Nelson and I add five routes to this East facing crag to provide a shady place to climb. The five routes here were simul-drilled in about one day, so the guilt for any bad bolts can be shared by both of us. It is unfortunate that the crag sees very little action since the routes turned out to be fun and well protected. The rock had some friable surface in 1993 but this has cleaned up nicely. Numbering begins on the left with Free Enterprise (#1). Climbing runs from 5.10 to 5.12a with interesting moves through the roofs. Getting ThereCapitalist Crag is located on the East side of tunnel 3 and the easiest approach is to park as you would for the Wall of the '90s and hike the 300 yards along the road.

Layout #1/unfinished - "Please Smile" was the intended title. I decide at the start to keep it simple, because I know subconsciously, this is not going to be 'the' project - just the warm up. Here it is, right before I kicked it off my desk to start over on something else:
The first thing that occurs to me as I sit down to make this layout: I need more space. I need to clear all the stuff away on my desk and make room for the giant 24 x 12 project! I realize also, that I have forgotten everything I used to know about making a 2-page layouts. Luckily, I was working with a sketch, so figuring out what size to make the pictures was taken care of. Where do I put the patterned paper? A standard practice of mine is to mount a solid sheet of cardstock (cut down to 11 x 11) on a piece of vibrant patterned paper. It's my way of getting the zing of a pattern without overwhelming the page. Since I rarely buy patterned paper 2 sheets at at time, this was not an option for these 2-pagers. I went with that krafty Bazzill dot.
On to layout #2: "Evolution of a Christmas Card Photo" a finished project depicting the photos leading up to the one we used on our Christmas card.
While I really like the idea of replacing the vertical element with patterned papers, I think I should have made the strips smaller and used papers they weren't so bright. The photos are already bright, and there is so much repetition, since they are all very similar. I added the glittery rings later to break up the all that color and make the visual triangle with the red glitter frame. (They are just stamped letter 'o's heat embossed with glitter Zing & trimmed out.)
I don't hate this layout - it does exactly what I wanted it to do. (Show the progression and highlight the big muffin that had to be photo-shopped out.) I just wish it was not so bright.
You'll have to wait to see number 3...I'll let you know when that one goes live on the Ella Publishing blog. Meantime, if you need some assistance in the 2-page layout department, a copy of Double Page Design would be extremely handy!

► DNA-ICs recruit TLR9 and autophagy protein LC3 to phagosomes through FcγR signaling ► LAP, which is distinct from conventional autophagy, is required for IFN-α secretion ► LAP is not required for TLR9-mediated TNF secretion ► LAP allows trafficking of TLR9 into a specialized IFN-signaling compartment
Toll-like receptor-9 (TLR9) is largely responsible for discriminating self from pathogenic DNA. However, association of host DNA with autoantibodies activates TLR9, inducing the pathogenic secretion of type I interferons (IFNs) from plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs). Here, we found that in response to DNA-containing immune complexes (DNA-IC), but not to soluble ligands, IFN-α production depended upon the convergence of the phagocytic and autophagic pathways, a process called microtubule-associated protein 1A/1B-light chain 3 (LC3)-associated phagocytosis (LAP). LAP was required for TLR9 trafficking into a specialized interferon signaling compartment by a mechanism that involved autophagy-related proteins, but not the conventional autophagic preinitiation complex, or adaptor protein-3 (AP-3). Our findings unveil a new role for nonconventional autophagy in inflammation and provide one mechanism by which anti-DNA autoantibodies, such as those found in several autoimmune disorders, bypass the controls that normally restrict the apportionment of pathogenic DNA and TLR9 to the interferon signaling compartment.

- When I started flying bigger helicopters I needed a way to charge larger batteries and charge more of them faster. The iCharger 306B with the balance board makes that easy in the shop or at the field. I'd be lost without the capability of the balance board that lets me charge 6 of my 6S packs at one time!
- I use this with my Thunder AC6 charger and it works great. May have to get a charger with more than 5 amps output so I can charge more than two 2200mah's at a time.
- Got this and 4x traxxas adapters, and it works like a charm. I can charge my 4 1500mAh lipos in 1h now insted of 4h.
- Neatly packaged and shipped fast!
- What a good idea charging 6 batt. At once in less than one hour. With great service and the quickest dallivery on the Web hard to beat. Really like your web site. Thanks
- high quality-----works fine
Super Fast shipping and board works great to charge up to six, 6S lipos at one time.
Highly recommend!

80%This brace is designed really good. Only thing I have discovered is the stays would need to be firmer for me. I am 6' tall, 210 lbs. and have an ankle that is really bad for turning on me.

80%The brace works fine, but there is no padding in the front as the straps come over and as the day goes on and the swelling is bad, those bands cut into the skin making it very uncomfortable, but I devised a system of padding the straps and it is much better now. D. Evans

Rated 2 out of 5 by trbell V-Pod Gun Rest
When I took this out of the package and tried to put it together I realized it was broken. Working on taking it back to the store to exchange and then I'll give another review. I really think I'll like it.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Tacoturkey Will not purchase again.
Barrel clips broke the first time trying to snap them to barrel. Both the 12 ga. & 20 ga. clips. As far as a gun rest, worked OK. It was really helpful to my wife, but as far as for me, took it off. If you hunt from a blind, just use a shooting stick. If you hunt from the ground as I do, use a knee pad rest.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Buckless Disappointment
When I first saw/installed this product I was very impressed with the design. Well my initial positive impression did not last long. Took it the range to pattern my turkey gun. After five shots of 3.5" shells the V-pod legs completely fell apart. I can only assume this happened due to the recoil. I will say that up, until the legs broke the V-pod was very stable. Anyway i'm glad Bass Pro allowed me to return this product with no issues.

Rated 4 out of 5 by DocSchroder V-Pod Gun Rest
Although I have not used this gun rest yet, I find it easy to assemble to your gun of choice. I will be 70 years old this year, so I am always looking for items which will help me to shoot better. Last few years I have been hunting turkey and deer from a portable tent and I found that I needed to brace my gun better within this scenario. This seems to be the product to help me, as when you are sitting within the tent, your at about 18" to 2 feet looking out of the tent's opening. I have most of the other aiming devices, but they are too high for this scenario. Delivery was prompt and the product was priced fairly and construction looks rugged enough for what I want.

Use Remington 700 for deer hunting. Have tried monopods and bipods and am not happy with results.Answers
I would not recommend using the shooting rest during hunting. It is designed for target shooting and sighting in your rifle.A:
The manufacturer list this to fit on 12-gauge and 20-gauge Shotguns only. ThanksAnswers
Out of the package it will not. You would need to make an adapter to mount to the base of the forearm.A:
I don't think so.A:
No, it has a rounded tube for connecting to shotgun barrels onlyTop 500 Contributor
no because it mounts to the barrel not the fore end stock.A:
unless u have a crossbow with a barrel on it, nope. sorryAnswers
Yes. But the barrel clips break very easy.A:
it sticks out about 2inches farther then my barrel is longA:
Yes, It does fold up parallel to the barrel. I wouldn't advise shooting with the shooting stick in the folded up position, especially if you have a shorter barrel. It will stick out in front of the muzzle approx. 6"-2". Hope this helps!Q:
4 answers
I have a .50 caliber muzzleloader that i use for deer hunting. would this work for that?
If you have a round barrel, probably.A:
I believe so as .50 cal. is a 12 gauge; I certainly plan to use during muzzle loader season. Device fits 12 and 20 gauge guns.A:
dont think so but u could allways return itA:
I doubt that it would work, but you could always try it and see, and if it doesn't send it back, but I would assume that you need to use those shooting sticks or something where all you have to do is just set your gun on it and not fasten it to anything1 of 1

After a 70+lb weight loss, from 226lbs to 155lbs, I had a lot of excess skin and I wanted to get rid of it. I finally was in a financial position to do it, so I made an appointment with a surgeon that I'd known for a few years that two of my friends had used previously for other surgeries. After a 2 month wait, I went into surgery where they prepped me by adding the markings and putting in my IV. I wasn't particularly nervous until they wheeled me into the room, but because of the anesthesia it felt like it was over in a blink.
When woke up, I had a lot more pain than I expected. Getting out of the bed and into the car was also pretty painful, and I had to walk as bent over as possible As soon as I got home, I got right in the bed and stayed there except for getting up to go to the bathroom for 2 days. I could feel that my abs had been tightened although we'd discussed that I didn't want any plication. I was disappointed, but I figured if she'd done it, there was probably a good reason.
At my 1 week post-op appointment she removed the drains and cut the stitches around my bellybutton. The scar looks really good, thankfully I scar pretty nicely. My stomach is flat, and I think in time with a bit more strict dieting and building my abs I'll have the 6-pack I wanted. I'm still swollen of course, but I'm really happy with the results.
A few tips:
* Depending on how tall you are, If you have a high bed, consider lowering it or taking it off of the frame while you heal. Extending your legs to get off the bed is kind of painful with the stitches from the drains getting pulled. If you don't want to lower it, put a small sturdy box that you can step on as an intermediate step before the floor.
* To get out of bed, slide up, not down. The first few days I kept trying to slide out of bed by trying to get my feet off first. That stretches your body out and ends up hurting. I figured out that if you push yourself up in to a vertical (or as far as possible) position, and then swing your legs out and to the floor.
After a 70+lb weight loss, from 226lbs to 155lbs,...
It's Tuesday and I'm now 12 days post op. I spent...
I've struggled with losing the last 15-20lbs I...
My biggest complaint was that there was very little information about what to avoid before surgery and what to do after surgery, i.e. with the antibiotics and bathing. I would have preferred having detailed written information to refer to during the healing process, and I would've liked a call from the surgeon the day of or after to check to make sure everything was going ok and to answer any questions. But the Dr. is very pleasant and knows what she's doing, so in the end it worked out well.

Welcome to RealSelf! Thank you for posting your journey with us. This is very helpful for other gents considering this process.
Your results are amazing and you look wonderful! I like the tips you shared for recovery. The swelling takes a while to go down so just hang on. Also go slow getting back into the weight lifting because you don't want to tear anything up on the inside.
So how did you find RealSelf? Do share...

Handcuffs for the Grabbing Hand? Media Capture and Government Accountability
Article Citation
Besley, Timothy, and
Andrea Prat. 2006. "Handcuffs for the Grabbing Hand? Media Capture and Government Accountability."
American Economic Review,
96(3): 720-736.

It has long been recognized that the media play an essential role in government
accountability. Even in the absence of censorship, however, the government may
influence news content by maintaining a "cozy" relationship with the media. This
paper develops a model of democratic politics in which media capture is endogenous.
The model offers insights into the features of the media market that determine
the ability of the government to exercise such capture and hence to influence
political outcomes. (JEL D72, D73, L82)

I recently bought one of those "PowerMonitor" sensors from Black and Decker; it's a cool little thing, and works surprisingly well.
Anybody out there discovered any hack potential in it yet? Short of Zigbee meters, it might be a good stop-gap solution to collect power usage data?
That article is so great! Thanks for sharing it into us. I've learned something new.Everyone is looking for Erin Andrews peephole pictures. Still images captured from the Erin Andrews peephole tape are among the most popular items being searched for on the internet, but a few have been published in the New York Post. The NY Post Erin Andrews photos took some of the Erin Andrews video peep pictures and blurred them, which is still publishing the invasion of privacy on her part, and for them to publish the pictures seems a crass move to exploit the buzz for the sake of selling copies. Regardless of how wrong the act was, it didn't stop the NY Post, nor will it stop people from getting payday loans to get the Erin Andrews video peep pictures.

Ministry uses mobile application to engage congregation.
Deerfield Beach, FL (PRWEB) February 13, 2014
Current Min IBC has been awarded the App of the Day honor from appsbar.com as an example of how non-profits, religious organizations, and clubs are using mobile technologies to reach their members and constituents.
The Current Min IBC app is the mobile platform for Current Ministries, an Ohio-based Baptist church. The app outlines the groups vision, while also providing links to event, social sites, and a prayer request module.
The mobile app was built with the DIY app builder at appsbar.com and is available for free download through appsbar.coms affiliated app marketplace at appcatch.com. The app is optimized for both iOS and Android smartphones and tablets.
Launched in 2011, Appsbar opens up the mobile marketing category for small and medium-size businesses, artists and musicians, and individuals who want to create in that space. Appsbar has done this by removing the two largest barriers; cost and programming expertise. Appsbar is doing for mobile apps what companies like Intuit and Blogger have done for novices looking to publish websites and blogs. To date, Appsbar has grown to over 500,000 users to become the most popular app building platform in the world.
In September of 2013, appsbar added mobile capabilities, allowing users to create, edit and publish apps directly from a smartphone or tablet.
To create an app of your own with the free and easy-to-use app maker, go to appsbar.com. To view and download other interesting new apps for free, visit appcatch.com.

I miss the days when we had a senator who played the fiddle and a congressman who liked to clog.
I like having a governor who eats barbecue and rides an all-terrain vehicle.
I like seeing my congresswoman at Kroger. I love that we are small enough that this happens.
I love how we are too small to honk angrily in traffic or to toss rude gestures at each other. (Usually.)
I have no favorite in the debate over official state food.
I love it all - those pungent ramps (awesome in potatoes and eggs), the delightfully portable pepperoni roll and a hot dog - yes - with slaw. I love Grandma's half-runner beans cooking all day in a pot. I believe I just described the most perfect meal.
West Virginia, thank you for being a comfort.
I love the majesty of your mountains and the cool flow of your streams.
I love the idea that within easy distance of home I could go skiing, whitewater rafting, fishing, hiking, backpacking, mountain biking and hunting - although most of the time I don't.
Our state inspires people to jump off a bridge into a gorge - and that's considered a good thing.
I love traveling far from home and unexpectedly encountering a West Virginian. For we are family.
I love coming home from a long trip and having the gold dome of your Capitol greet me.
West Virginia, you are not heaven. But without a doubt you are almost heaven.
Happy birthday, and here's to 150 more.

Davis Payne Gets A Very Unceremonious Sendoff from Sportscenter
Generally speaking, the firing of a pro level coach or manager in any of the major sports is a big deal. Why was he fired? Who is the replacement? Who pulled the trigger? How are the players reacting? Generally stuff that sports fans want to be clued in on.
But if you're the NHL and it's a fall Sunday, which we've talked about is jam packed with content, this is the type of coverage you may receive in regards to an early season coaching change.
Note: The volume is low on this video so adjust accordingly.
There is something that I can't put my finger on about this video that I love. Maybe it's that Levy and Cohn are both big hockey fans and have to close out the show by sneaking this tidbit in there. Cohn's playful "Bye!" doubles as a message to Payne and to viewers. It's almost as if she feels a bit guilty closing out the show on that note.
I am sure hockey fans are a bit underwhelmed by the lack of coverage. Truth be told, it's not something that really irks me at all, I just love the brevity and casualness of it. It's almost like in high school on your way out the door going to a party, trying to mention you flunked a trigonometry midterm.
In case you'd like to know more about the move, head on over to Puck Daddy who will take care of you. Bye!

"Some of my favorite memories are: winning the Flag Football cup four years in a row with my sorority sisters; staying up ALL night long in Wilson with my Organic Chemistry classmates but really only studying for about three hours; beating Maryville and getting my 1,000th career kill my senior year of volleyball; hanging at the Pool House; traveling to Italy with my fellow graduates this past May; and going to traditional Thursday Mexican with my teammates and best friends.
"One of my all-time favorite memories is when I found out I got into Auburn Vet School. I was at the beach with several of my sorority sisters and one of my closest friends and volleyball teammates. I checked my email on my phone and had a new message saying, 'Congratulations! You have been selected to join the class of 2015 at Auburn College of Veterinary Medicine!'" We all bawled out eyes out with tears of joy ('cause that's just what girls do!) and they took me out to dinner to celebrate! When we got home I ran straight to Bellingrath Hall to tell the good news to the professors and they all couldn't have been happier for me. It was the best feeling in the world to know that all these people were wanting me to succeed, and these are the kind of people you will meet at Huntingdon."

I've actually been a lurker here for some time, since working in Education I've had several queries that have led me here for a resolution, so i thought it fair to sign up and hopefully give something back.
Before securing my position at a High School in SA, I had been a Help Desk Officer at various places, notably a Hospital in Adelaide, and a Technical College. I then had a brief stint as a teacher of IT, before deciding that despite the awesome pay, i couldn't hack the workload (lazy beast i am).
So here i am in Catholic Eucation! IT Support Officer to a 3 campus school. (Although I'm also a Desktop Admin and general dogsbody aswell, i just don't get the glorious pay packet!) I've been lucky (or not) enough to have been here through some major transitions, with the amalgamation of the three schools, plus a move to a Catholic WAN environment, and our main site has recently gone from being Netware to Server 2003.
It's hard work, but usually rewarding!
Thanks for making me welcome already!
Welcome Glenn!
Hello all, i've been buzzing the site for a few months now and thought it finally time to join up!
I'm Iain, a Network manager for a big independent school in Godalming. Prior to this I was in IT for a big pharma company, looking after IT in the UK and US offices, along with the odd trip to India for help out there.
Just wanted to say the forum is great, been browsing for some info and found it extremely useful.
All the best,

Thanks for the nice things you said, and welcome
Hi, im Andrew
Just a quick question ^^
I'm not an IT Professional, im a student. May be a silly question, i know edugeek is specifically aimed at IT professionals such as high school technicians etc.
Would it be wrong if i used edugeek for my common windows problems, has such a great community.
You won't be the first to ask such questions here... and TBH it's nice when students 'come clean'... rather than think we won't notice (... and generally we do! We're too used to students, not to spot them!)
to edugeek! 'Search' is your friend as many common problems have already been answered on these boards; which is probably how you found us in the first place! Who knows, maybe you'll join us on 'the other side' in the future!
Welcome Iain

very beautiful and shiny
Got this for my Mom and she LOVED it!!! The size of the pendant is perfect.
Looks great!
The pendant is larger than the earrings and looks great together with the earrings.
Pretty tiny piece but too small for what i wanted.
I had wanted to use this pendant for a pin. I measured it and didn't think it would be big enough, but when I asked the salesperson he said he had seen that particular piece and said yes, it would be large enough. Boy, was he mistaken. It's very tiny and so I returned it. Sorry.
