Q&A with John Manuel
Baseball America Editor
Good morning everyone!
Today I am happy to present for you another Q&A. This one is also about the Twins prospects, but this one is with John Manuel. He is the co-editor of Baseball America, and he was the person who researched and determined the Baseball America Minnesota Twins Top 30 prospect list. Now, of course, I certainly questioned his choice of Nick Blackburn at #1 and a few other things. But I think what you will find out below is that Manuel definitely put his time in and did his homework. That is the fun part about prospect lists, we can argue and debate them all day, and yet in the end, we can't really grade them for another five years or longer.
I just think it is pretty neat that Manuel was willing to do a Q&A like this even after I called his rankings "Crazy." So, thank you to John Manuel for taking time to contact me and have this great discussion. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to e-mail me or use the Comments below.
Let the Questions Begin!
SethSpeaks: Growing up, who was your favorite team, and who were some of your favorite players to watch?
John Manuel: Grew up a Red Sox fan and remain one, though less so since 2004, just not the same. It has been gratifying to be a Red Sox fan and do Yankees top 30s and have people in the Yankees organization think I'm a Yankees fan, which has happened on a couple of occasions. I try hard to keep my fandom out of my work. I had a Wade Boggs poster on my wall growing up in North Carolina and had a Clemens jersey in the late '80s. Carlton Fisk was my favorite players when I was young because I played a lot of catcher.
SethSpeaks: How long have you been with Baseball America, and what are your responsibities?
John Manuel: At BA since Sept. 1996, and I've covered everything. I started out in the closet/office of our old building, barely doing anything beyond data entry and photo filing; I covered college baseball starting in '97, as a beat from 1998-2004, and I've been involved in our international coverage heavily since 1999, going to the Pan Am Games and 2000 Olympics. I was our top minors/prospects writer in 2004-2005, and promoted to co-editor in chief in March 2005.
SethSpeaks: How does BA determine who does each of the team's prospect rankings? Have you always done the Twins rankings?
John Manuel: I've done 11 different Top 30s over the eight years of the Handbook; second year doing the Twins. It really just depends on what correspondents we have that we trust to do their own organization top 30, which writers here want to do a certain organization or who has contacts with which organizations. I was doing several difficult to deal with organizations in recent years and asked for the Twins because of frankly how nice they are as an org. to deal with. That said, they didn't have a clear-cut top 10 not to mention clear-cut No. 1 this year, making it difficult.
SethSpeaks: Without giving names (but feel free to), who do you talk to to gain scouting reports or other information on the Twins prospects?
John Manuel: Scouts outside the organization, which depends on the team or organization; there were about 4-6 outside the organization sources for the Twins that were scouts, not to mention managers' info from the league Top 20s we do. Then in the Twins system, I talked to five different people. I'd rather not give names.
SethSpeaks: For a prospect list, do you look more to upside or ceiling, or do you also factor in likelihood to reach the big leagues in your rankings? (In other words, a guy like Angel Morales has tremendous, 5-tool potential, but just started in the GCL whereas a guy like Brian Buscher is an ok prospect with a minimal ceiling, but he is also likely to contribute to the Minnesota Twins in some (maybe minor) capacity)
John Manuel: It's a marriage of ceiling plus likelihood to reach the ceiling, and age, level of competition and performance tell you how likely a player is to reach his ceiling. Buscher's a great example because I ranked him 10th after 2003-2004, the offseason after he was drafted, because he was likely to make the majors, but his ceiling was to be a lefthanded-hitting Joe Randa. He may not even reach that ceiling now, but he did make the majors. When you rank 30 prospects, I feel like you can start the high-risk, high-rewards guys lower on a list than we used to do. Morales' tools don't consistently play; reports on his tools appear to be more sanguine from before he was drafted than after. The Twins didn't gush about him, and even pre-draft, there were scouts who called him a showcase, workout guy. Neither of those players wound up in the 30, for what it's worth.
SethSpeaks: Alright, let's get to the list and specifically the selection of Nick Blackburn as the Twins top prospect. I ranked him #27 in September and see him as a 4th starter/long reliever. He's already 25 years old. Did his strong performance in the AFL affect his ranking this much?
John Manuel: This will be my longest answer. Blackburn has two negatives data points--his age and his low K rate. Everything else, to me, tells me he's a No. 3 starter, not a 4/5 guy or long man. First, his fastball is a plus pitch, and one scout with an outside org (i.e., not the Twins) said they have him turned in with a 70 fastball, a plus-plus pitch, because of its combination of velocity, life and especially command. It's plus velo at 90-93, touching 94-95 consistently, and he commands the pitch well. He can get hitters out with a fastball even when they are looking fastball. That helps all his other stuff play up. His velo jump this year is believable that it can be sustained because he was low 90s in junior college, a scouting report we had from 2001. Second, he has command of three average to above-average secondary pitches. I had a scout in the Eastern League who just loved his cut fastball/slider, had him throwing 89 mph cutters, graded it as a plus pitch to get lefthanded hitters out. Then the Twins asked Blackburn to shelve the cutter and develop his curve and change more in the AFL, and he delivered, three scouts I talked to who saw him in the AFL all graded his curve as MLB average and he's really just learning how to use it, after being so cutter-happy earlier in his career when his fastball velo was down and he was out of shape. Finally, his changeup gets 55 (slightly above average) grades from scouts in the AFL, more for his arm speed and command of the pitch than its life, but again, this is not some guy with fringe stuff. This guy has good stuff and is learning still how to use it; I believe that accounts in part for his low K rates, but they don't totally excuse the low rates, and I admit that is a caveat, but Blackburn had solid GO/AO rates, and as he learns to rely more on the curve and change and less on the cutter, scouts expect his K rate to go up. As for his age, he lost a year or two developmentally to his knee problems, and as one scouting director always tells me, "They don't check IDs on the mound." As long as he's healthy, he should be fine and close to reaching that ceiling, and his stuff was very firm in his last AFL start, almost 190 IP deep into a season, an excellent sign of his durability. His age (he'll be 26 in February) makes it less likely he'll be a star, but then no one's claiming he'll be a star. I just think he can be a No. 3 starter, and I think he's ready to fulfill that ceiling (which is fairly high, really) sooner than later.
BONUS MATERIAL - Manuel watched a Blackburn start during his incredible streak in June when he didn't allow an earned run. Here is his report on the game. And here, see how well Blackburn's numbers in AAA compared to Kevin Slowey and Andy Sonnanstine.
SethSpeaks: I made Tyler Robertson my choice for the Twins top prospect because of his age and pitching so well, including strikeouts, in the Midwest League. He is not considered a sure-thing by any means, but what are your thoughts on Robertson (who you ranked #4)?
John Manuel: He was considered for the No. 1 spot but I left him at No. 4 because scouts from other organizations were not nearly as impressed with him as the Twins are. Other scouts also didn't like his arm action, which I also tried to describe in my draft preview coverage of Robertson in 2006. He's a four-pitch lefty with solid-average stuff, he's lefthanded, he's physical, but his fastball is short compared to Blackburn's, and that's why I ranked Blackburn ahead of him. The ceiling for both appears to be No. 3 starter, and we talked to several scouts during Midwest League top 20 coverage who consider Robertson a lefty reliever. I can tell you the Twins think higher of him and probably have him as their No. 1 guy internally, either him or Joe Benson.
SethSpeaks: I ranked Wilson Ramos #31 even though I had heard that the Twins were really high on him. He wasn't supposed to get to Beloit in 2007, but when he did, he did well for a couple of months and then got hurt. I acknowledge that based on more information, I had him far too low. What are his skills and the information that you have that made him your #3 prospect?
John Manuel: That's in the Handbook, but he's a catcher who has above-average defensive ability with offensive upside that includes the ability to hit for average and hit 10-15 home runs annually, and possibly more as he learns to add loft to his swing. He's the real deal and slugged .438 in the MWL as a 19-year-old when the league average was .372. I'm surprised no one else picked up on him but I feel good about ranking him so high, he's a classic BA high-ceiling, teenage kind of ranking. I was tempted to rank him No. 1.
SethSpeaks: Joe Benson is all about upside. His numbers in the Midwest League were basically league average, but many consider him a potential four or five tool player. What about his scouting report has you and the Twins so excited about what he can become?
John Manuel: His performance was league average but his tools are well above-average. He's among the organization's fastest players and is a true CF, he plays a premium position. He's probably as fast as Denard Span and has much more offensive potential. He swings and misses too much for his raw power to play but I was very encouraged by how he finished the season .273/.370/.382 after the all-star break, and also by the fact that one of his bigger issues will be learning to hit LHPs--he had a .627 OPS vs. LHPs. I see that improving dramatically as Benson adapts to better competition and becomes more accustomed to playing baseball year-round.
SethSpeaks: I see that you also had Chris Parmelee ranked at #12. Like Benson, Parmelee struck out a lot, but he also showed the ability to walk (not sure if that's plate discipline, or taking too many pitches?) and hit for power. He also was young for the Midwest League. So, what is it that separates Benson and Parmelee?
John Manuel: Benson has much, much more athletic ability than Chris Parmelee, and considering their backgrounds, Parmelee should have really out-performed Benson significantly. Parmelee is baseball-only, SoCal guy who played a lot with wood bats as an amateur compared to Benson, a football-baseball guy from a Northern state. Parmelee was supposed to be a polished hitter and was not, he swung and missed too much and didn't show the premium bat speed or feel for hitting the Twins thought they were getting. Not burying the guy--he has big power and he is more apt to get to his power than Benson--but to me their upsides are pretty far apart. Benson can be a five-tool guy. Parmelee has one plus tool that will play, power (his arm's a power tool but won't play if he's a 1b, and he may not be athletic enough or run enough to stay in the OF).
SethSpeaks: The Twins took Jason Pridie in the Rule V draft two years ago and didn't keep him, but now they got him back. We see that he had a strong 2007, but was that small sample success, or has he turned a corner? What do you hear about him, and could he potential be an adequate CF option for the Twins in 2008?
John Manuel: I like Pridie a lot as a player and I kind of went more on my own eye and instincts on him than any player that I've ranked before. He played in Triple-A Durham obviously and our BA offices are down the street from the park. Also, I did about a dozen Bulls games on TV this year as a color analyst so I got to see him a lot and talked to IL coaches and scouts about him, and he's just impressive to see play. He is a cheap five-tool guy--not a guy who blows you away but a guy without a huge weakness, or a below-average tool, in any way. His biggest weakness is that he's an aggressive hitter who doesn't walk a lot, career .327 OBP, but he will hit for average and I believe in his power. Everything he does, he does easy, including hitting with surprising power to the opposite field. He's more of a six- or seven-hole hitter unless he's hitting for average to hit 2-hole, where he's best suited in terms of tools. I really believe in him as a prospect, so we'll see how good my scouting eye is.
SethSpeaks: Jeff Manship was one of the better pitching prospects in college but he fell to the Twins in the 14th round in 2006 because of signability concerns. He appears to be fully healed from his Tommy John surgery, and Joe Benson called his curveball the best he's ever seen. What is the ceiling on Manship?
John Manuel: He's the same guy, with some added size. His curve's definitely his best pitch. I think his fastball's a solid pitch, but he doesn't have Blackburn's fastball velocity or command. He does throw four pitches for strikes, and he's got a chance to move quickly. To me, Manship is the kind of pitcher who dominates lower levels, because of his excellent breaking ball and control, but may not have enough fastball to thrive at higher levels. I'm conservative on him or lower on him than others because I want to see him do it at higher levels. It's very possible that he becomes another Sean Gallagher, who I thought was that kind of guy but who added velocity and maintained it as he moved up the minors, and is a guy I like more now than I did when he was in A ball. For me, they are similar.
SethSpeaks: In the 2005 draft, the Twins took Matt Garza, Kevin Slowey, Brian Duensing and Ryan Mullins in the first three rounds. What are the reports you're hearing on Duensing (who has flown through the Twins system and was the starting pitcher for Team USA against Cuba in the 2007 World Cup) and Mullins (who pitched at three levels in 2007) in terms of pitches and potential ceiling?
John Manuel: Duensing's a four-pitch lefty without a true plus pitch but his changeup's a 55 and his breaking balls are solid. His fastball is enough for an LHP, 87-90, touch a 91--all this is in the Handbook of course. Reports on him are good, I also ranked him in the Eastern League top 20 prospects and like his chances of reaching his ceiling, but it's a No. 4 ceiling, or a No. 5; he just doesn't have a pitch to dominate with. Mullins had a big year in '07 and got stronger, threw a bit harder, he's come up with a good slider that is more of a hard breaking ball, as opposed to his long-time soft curve that used to be his go to pitch. He's tall, lanky, deceptive, ceiling kind of similar to Duensing's, perhaps higher if his velo ever improves. The Twins could call LHPs a strength in the minors--Duensing, Mijares, Perkins and Mullins at higher levels, plus Robertson heads the lower levels but they also have some other guys they like a bit like Errol Simonitsch, Henry Reyes and Jarrad Eacott (hope I got his name right).
SethSpeaks: I personally don't think you could go wrong with Robertson or Anthony Swarzak as the #1 prospect. I know that makeup is a big factor for the Twins when drafting and acquiring players. Does Swarzak's 50 game suspension account for his fall to the #5 prospect spot?
John Manuel: No; his lack of a consistent third pitch does. Most scouts think a guy can get by with two pitches if they are both really, really good pitches, but Swarzak's are just "good," not great. Good fastball, good curveball, not enough FB command, he needs a changeup or split-finger and lacks the feel for a change. That's why he's No. 5--it's not certain he'll be a starter, he doesn't throw as hard as Blackburn, doesn't have Blackburn's command. For me, he's not as good.
SethSpeaks: When the Twins drafted Ben Revere, they were generally bashed for making a pick based on signability. Many believed that Revere was a second of third round type of pick. Then he reported right away and was incredible in the GCL. He's a baseball player with incredible speed, and yet he's only a few months younger than Benson, who has already spent a year in full-season ball. What are your thoughts on Revere and the Twins taking him in that spot?
John Manuel:
I think it's strongly overstating it to say
they were bashed--we didn't bash them, and no one covers the draft the way we
do, we invented draft coverage, so if others did, that's fine, but people in the
know did not. The Twins believe in Revere and we respect that, I respect that. I
threw Ichiro out there as a guy who Revere, best-case scenario, could
approximate. The Twins believe in Revere's power more than the consensus of
scouts; that's why they liked him more than other clubs. They think this is a
10-15 homers a year guy. I remain skeptical; if I thought that were a strong
possibility, he would have ranked No. 1 on the list, But Benson has similar
speed, a bigger, more durable frame, more power potential, so I think Benson's
upside is higher.
SethSpeaks: Looking back to my Top 10 Twins prospect list, I included Danny Valencia (7), Alex Burnett (8) and Erik Lis (10). Were any of these guys realistically considered for your top ten, or how close did they get to making the Top 10?
John Manuel: Valencia was, but the Twins and others outside the organization did not say kind things about Valencia's feel for hitting or makeup. He's got power, he's got ability, he might be No. 7 in terms of ability or maybe even higher; but I have my doubts about him. Burnett's pretty good, he almost made it way up my list, but the questions I had about his size and consistency of his velocity prompted me to drop him into the Valencia range, the low 20s. Burnett's got an average fastball in terms of velocity and command and doesn't have a lot of projection to throw a lot harder. His fastball also lacks life at times; so I just didn't' think he should make the top 10. I like Erik Lis, but ranking him in the top 10 doesn't make much sense to me, he's a one-dimensional player, he's not a good defender at either LF or 1B , and he doesn't hit enough to make up for it. He's a second-division regular or extra bat for me. Everything he does takes effort in A-ball; scouts like players who do it easy, and that's not Lis. I'm rooting for him but humbly disagree with where you ranked him.
SethSpeaks: Trevor Plouffe was your pick for #10 Twins prospect. I had him at #3, in part because of his incredible number of doubles, his plate discipline and the improvement shown. What are his best skills, and where does he still need to improve?
John Manuel: His plate discipline, really? His walk rate declined, and while his K rate did as well, plate discipline isn't his strength, it's an area he needs to improve. He's got a .323 career OBP, lower than Pridie's, to compare him to a guy I like more than Plouffe, and Pridie has more power, more speed, better defense . . . I like Plouffe fine, but he's average everywhere except in terms of arm strength, the least-important tool. Plouffe's constantly compared to Greg Gagne, only with less speed. If he has that kind of career, the Twins will be very happy, but I think he may have more of a chance to be a utility guy rather than an everyday player.
SethSpeaks: Is there hope for Denard Span or Matt Moses at this point?
John Manuel: Yes, for both because they are young. I ranked Span at 20 and believe he'll be a useful extra outfielder while he's cheap; he just doesn't have the power to be a regular, to be an offensive threat, and he doesn't use his speed well enough. He's also still rough around the edges and lacks instincts on the bases and defensively. Moses isn't in the 30 because his tool was supposed to be his bat, and the guy just hasn't hit. He has to produce to be a prospect. His defense at third remains poor; he actually was better at 2B late in the year and may be more of a 2B in the future.
SethSpeaks: Was there a Twins prospect or two that you were researching that jumped out to you as a guy who really has the potential to jump up this list with a strong 2008 showing in the minor leagues?
John Manuel:
Deibinson Romero and Wilson Ramos could jump
up with big years in 2008; I've talked about Ramos but Romero has pretty similar
tools and should jump into the top 10 next year. Also, I think Rene Tosoni will
have a big year in '08, he can really hit and has solid other tools, let's see
how this Canadian hitter handles the Midwest League over a full year.
SethSpeaks: The Twins system has a long list of recent top prospects that are now contributing to the Minnesota Twins. Guys like Joe Mauer, Justin Morneau, Jason Kubel, Francisco Liriano, Kevin Slowey, Scott Baker and others are now with the Twins and contributors while Matt Garza helped bring in BA's #1 overall prospect heading into the 2007 season in Delmon Young. What are your general overview thoughts on the Minnesota Twins organization?
John Manuel:
At a crossroads for sure, and in an
increasingly competitive division. I think the future of the franchise really
depends on how the Johan Santana saga plays out, so their future is harder to
read right now than any other team. They made a great deal with the Rays; they
traded players they didn't like for players they liked and needed. I could see
the Twins having things come together and winning 90 games or more in '08 (Liriano
comes back strong, Blackburn & Pridie live up to my billing :), Delmon takes
"the leap" and becomes a star, Santana is Santana, Nathan is Nathan, Kubel steps
up more) . . . or they could crash to 70 wins, deal Santana at midseason for
less than what was offered this offseason and fall into a funk as an
organization. I actually lean more for the former.
SethSpeaks: You may have heard, but the Twins are rumored to be shopping lefty Johan Santana. Of the names that have been mentioned most frequently, how many of them would rank in the Twins Top 10, and as important, how many of them would or could claim the #1 overall spot? (Names: jacoby ellsbury, jed lowrie, justin masterson, ryan kalish, jon lester, phil hughes, jeff marquez, austin jackson, fernando martinez, carlos gomez, mike pelfrey, phil humber, kevin mulvey, deolis guerra)
John Manuel: Hughes & Lester & Pelfrey aren't eligible; pretty much everyone else offered, other than Kalish, Humber, Mulvey and Marquez, would have ranked ahead of Blackburn. I'm a big Masterson fan, he's actually quite similar to Blackburn, he's got a great fastball in terms of command, life, ability to pitch off it, improving secondary stuff . . . I am a Carlos Gomez guy, big-time tools, exciting player, worth getting in my mind. I did our Yankees & Mets top 30s and I'm a Red Sox fan, so I hope I know these players more than the average bear. I'd also say that Lowrie is a 2b for the Twins; I don't think they believe he can play SS to their expectations, or else I believe they would have made that deal.
A big thank you to John Manuel from Baseball America for taking the time to answer all of these questions. Let me know what you think. Send me an e-mail, or let's talk about it in the Comments here.

Best gas stove we have ever had. Backes fabulous bread and cakes, its looks are excellent.

I have had this range for one year. The broiler stopped working two months ago (everything else woks fine). the service tech has been out three times and still does not know what is wrong. You have to take a full day off from work because they will only promise arrival between 8 and 5. As of today there is no fix in sight.

This stove is the second one in 2 months the first one I had problems because the enamel covering the stove top starting having pin hole pits after 3 weeks from what I don't know? The burner caps are also NOT the nice normal baked enamel like all other I have had in the past and these burner caps got some spaghetti sauce on them and the material lifted and discolored and that was after one time of spaghetti sauce hitting them,really? So I called and complained sears brought me a whole other new stove and the second one is doing the same thing after 6 weeks Ridiculous! I clean my stove almost everyday and again getting wear spots and slight pin hole pits just from soap and water then windexed to get the streaks off! Sooooo disappointed!

The gas range is nice. However, paying additional for a connector was not right. You can't use the range without the connector. That's a part that should be included with the range. Also the manufactured dripping pan isn't included. I feel like Sears is just draining the consumer by charging for everything that used to belong with the range. Certain things are apart of the range. I don't like to be nickle and dimed for everything. Very disappointed. We will be in need of a dryer and refridgerator. I really don't know if I will be returning to Sears. Also, It would of been helpful if someone could have shown us all the functions and features of the range, but they were unsure themselves.

Purchased 4 years ago. About to install 3rd (and final!) electronic control panel. Service reps are not knowledgable about detailed problems like this. The word "Elite" is the farthest from the truth on this product. Never again with a sears appliance product.

Replaced the stove from ****. Old oven temp would be all over the place....50 to 75 degrees off and not consistently off the same amount. This oven is wonderful. 400 degrees is 400 degrees! Easy to use controls and nice looking.

Wonderful range. Has all of the bells and whistles - very easy to use and get use to a new applicance. The manual on use is very clear and gives examples of what to do differently while cooking or baking. I am so happy to have this wonderful product in my kitchen.

Property ID19th Hole House
Property TypeLuxury Properties
Floor area4300 sq.f.
Premier Rated -
Bedding: King, Queen, Queen, Queen/Twin bunk, Twin daybed w/ trundle, Queen sleeper sofa
Approximately 4,300 square feet
• Amenities include:
• 2 fireplaces
• Flat Screen TVs
• 2 master suites
• Garage
• Laundry room
A luxurious way to experience the 19th hole. Sited on a corner lot in the gated Teton Pines subdivision, this 4,300 square foot home overlooks the award-winning golf course, or come winter, the scenic Nordic skiing track. Conveniently located between downtown Jackson and Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, this spacious home makes all your vacation dreams possible with its four bedrooms and four full baths (plus an additional half bath). An architectural gem, the two-story floor plan includes tongue-and-groove vaulted ceilings, multiple fireplaces and richly furnished living areas.
The experience begins as soon as you enter the stone-tiled foyer outfitted with a large closet for storing coats and gear. Walk through the foyer into the great room: an expansive open floor plan encompassing the main living room, kitchen and dining area. Truly great, the open room features a river rock fireplace, a 53-inch flat screen TV and ample seating.
The gourmet kitchen boasts granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a six-burner gas range, double ovens and temperature-controlled wine storage. Meals may be enjoyed around the large round dining table or the breakfast bar.
From the great room, patio doors open onto the deck overlooking a seasonal stream, manicured lawn and Teton Pines Golf Course. Winter finds this expanse cloaked in snow, and even creates a perfect sledding hill for children. The well-maintained cross-country ski track sits just beyond the backyard.
On the ground floor, the first master suite beckons with its king bed, river rock fireplace, walk-in closet and large bathroom, while a guest bedroom features a queen bed and en suite full bath.
A stairway off the foyer leads to a lofted hallway. The vaulted ceilings also soar on the second floor. Nestled at the top of the stairs is a den with a flat-screen TV and queen sleeper sofa. The hallway continues to a guest suite – queen bed and en suite bathroom – and a loft with a reading nook overlooking the great room. Behind the loft lies a fourth bedroom with a large captain's bunk bed, trundle daybed, a window seat for reading, a flat screen TV and a full bathroom.

This book is an excellent introduction for a developer new to ADO.NET. The book is geared towards the C# developer using VS.NET so if that doesn't describe you then you will want to look elsewhere. If that does describe you then this is the book you want. The book starts with an introduction to C# which is probably good enough for someone familiar with Java or C++. This is followed by a brief introduction to ADO.NET and how to use VS.NET to build data driven applications. Chapter 5 gives an excellent explanation of how to use ADO.NET disconnected classes and data providers. The author does an excellent job of explaining these critical topics. The book goes on to explain how XML documents fit into ADO.NET and follows this with a discussion of web applications, web services and ADO events. The book contains a nice discussion of the ODBC data provider including how to install it into the VS.NET toolkit. This information is not easily found elsewhere. I especially like the author's style, which makes the book feel like a discussion with an enthusiastic co-worker rather than as a dry treatise. The book contains quite a few step-by-step, screen-by-screen examples of building applications. If you are (or plan to be) a C# developer and are new to ADO.NET you are unlikely to find a better book than this one for making this complex topics easily reachable.

Comments about Xenadrine Results Drink Mix Packets, Fruit Punch, 21 ea:
I drink one mix about 45 mins before each meal. The first week, I lost 4 lbs. However, you get maximum results if you do not snack between meals. After day three, I had no desire to snack. The taste is great and I am almost addicted to them. I have lost weight and inches. I only wanted to loose 10 lbs and am well on my way with this drink, healthy eating, and routine exercise.
Comment on this review
Mix and shake 1 serving in a standard 16.9 oz. bottle of water 30 minutes before your 3 meals of the day.
Do not stack between meals.

During the period from 1980 to 2007, there have been significant gains made in automotive technology, but those advancements have been in improved performance and safety rather than fuel economy. Horsepower has more than doubled; top speed has climbed from 107 miles per hour to 239 miles per hour and 0 to 60 times have dropped from 14.4 seconds to just 9.6 seconds in 2007. Average vehicle weight has increased nearly 30 percent over the same period, due not only to increased vehicle size but also from reinforced structures and added equipment, such as airbags, that improve crash worthiness. During this same period, fuel economy has remained relatively unchanged, with a 1.5 percent decrease in fuel economy between 1981 and 2007.

When Will We Know Who Won?
By Mark Memmott
Everybody tries to predict who will win.
What we wonder, though, is when will we know whether it will be President Obama or Republican challenger Mitt Romney taking the oath of office next January?
With polls signalling a tight race and lawyers from both campaigns poised to challenge the results, there are all sorts of scenarios about hours, days or even weeks of waiting. That has, of course, happened before.
So let's see what everyone thinks. We'll keep this question open until 7 p.m. ET Tuesday.

Lady Patriots eliminated by West Ashley
The score after the first quarter of the West Ashley-Fort Dorchester girls' game was Dekeiya Cohen 18, Fort Dorchester 7.
It was one of those games Wednesday night as West Ashley, a No. 1 seed in the girls Class AAAA state playoffs, scored often and settled the issue early in a 70-31 homecourt victory over Fort Dorchester.
The Wildcats jumped to a 32-7 lead at the end of the first quarter and never looked back as they extended their winning streak to 10 games.
The Wildcats, who improved to 21-1, host North Augusta in the second round on Friday. North Augusta advanced with a 63-48 victory over Carolina Forest. Fort Dorchester finished with a 4-18 record.
Cohen finished with 35 points, 18 rebounds, six blocks, and six steals for the Wildcats, who won the Region 7-AAAA title. Jhanice Stokes added 16 and Jue McLemore 11.
"No worries, but I was a little concerned before the game," West Ashley coach Maria Williams said. "We came out a little flat the last couple game and had to play catch-up. I wasn't impressed with our defense tonight. We didn't go after it. We looked unorganized on offense and defense."
The Wildcats will face North Augusta, a team that likes to run.
"They have two quick guards," Williams said. "We have to slow them down."
Fort Dorchester (31): Melvin 6, Sprueill 2, Evans 3, Cobb 6, Chisholm 6, Martin 1, Taylor 1, Compton 2, Evans 4.
West Ashley (70): Cohen 35, Wesolik 3, Stokes 16, Hardaway 4, Jue McLemore 11, Mack 1.


text: E.arth is the honesty planet. Government is open and honest so it creates a more perfect union, and builds trust among people and nations. On E.arth, the Earth is sacred. This is true for me even I though I follow no religion, and I take all dogmas metaphorically. We protect the land, the forests and the sea for current and future generations. On E.arth, principles are above party and that is why I belong to no party. On E.arth, we have a representative democracy so that government can be of, by, and for the people. We have ranked choice voting and proportional representation so there are no spoilers, no gerrymanders, and no vote strategizing. Elections are fair, and they cannot be bought because there are no paid lobbyists, no private campaign financing, and no campaign ads. There are no 527s or PACs. All candidates on E.arth get an informational website where candidates are required to put all the information that voters need to know. Debates are required of all candidates. Votes are publicly counted. Because of these things, the system attracts good leaders, instead of scoundrels, and we can trust them with our government. On E.arth, there is zero or negative population growth, instead of 225,000 more people being added every day and contributing to immigration problems, pollution and struggles over dwindling resources. An ever-expanding base of consumers is not desirable on E.arth, because our economy is sustainable. On E.arth, the thin layer of atmosphere that envelopes the Earth is kept sweet and clean. We don't overheat the air with greenhouse gases and spoil it with noxious gases and chemicals. On E.arth, there are incentives for hard work and creativity, but there is also greater equality. People are not given equal opportunities because of nature, nurture and circumstances, we share the bounty so that everyone at least receives the essentials in life. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, gender, sexual orientation, or creed (or lack thereof). Consenting adults can marry whomever they like, with all the rights and privileges that go with it. On E.arth, everyone has a birthright to a share of the common wealth, so that there is a guaranteed minimum income, national health care, and education is provided through college. Because of these things, we don't have welfare, social security, government handouts, homelessness, unemployment, or health care designed for profit instead of health. On E.arth, we would have a full-reserve banking system. Money would be created by the government, for the benefit of the people, instead of being lent into existence by banks for private profit, growing debt, and ruinous boom/bust cycles. The taxpayers would not pay interest on Treasury bills and securities. There would be no national debt, no recessions, no depressions, and no unemployment. This debt-free economy would create wealth that would reduce the economic burden on over 90% of us, and the quality of life for all. On E.arth, health, home, and many other kinds of insurance would be almost free, and paid for by spending money into existence by the Treasury. When money is created for productive or restorative activities, such as occurs when properties are rebuilt following damage or destruction, it is non-inflationary, and it creates jobs. On E.arth, people are more important than corporations. On E.arth, there is no military-industrial-congressional complex. On E.arth, there is no prison-industrial-congressional complex, and prisons are used for rehabilitation, education, and to protect others, but not used for punishment. On E.arth, there is no drug war, because drugs are legalized, taxed and regulated, and all public advertising is banned for drugs, alcohol and tobacco. On E.arth, there are no chronically homeless because we have villages for the adult homeless who cannot fit into society, or who need specialized care. On E.arth, we are moving toward replacing the world's 800 million motor vehicles with about one-eighth as many self-driving, shared-use, electric vehicles. This switchover will expand our choices because we will get the kind of vehicle we want, when we want it, for a fraction of the cost. It will also prevent 30 million casualties a year, vastly reduce carbon dioxide emissions, and get rid of most of the parking lots, garages, and other headaches associated with car ownership. On E.arth, all new towns and neighborhoods are compact pedestrian villages. On E.arth, the goal of politics is bring the greatest good to the greatest number, in the most efficient manner, to this and future generations. Following this goal would ensure the Earth becomes better place for everyone. For more on this, watch my campaign video: "I am the Very Model of a Pragmatic Humanitarian."

Citing crime, Montgomery County proposes curfew
Some teenagers in Montgomery County aren't happy about the proposed curfew. It would be 11 p.m. on weekdays and midnight on weekends.
Under the proposed legislation, the parents of any child under 18 caught breaking the law will be liable.
"I don't think it's fair that they want us home at that time," said Andrea Reyes.
But the county executive and the police chief say it's necessary. That's why they've proposed the new law. The police chief, Thomas Manger, testified Tuesday at a public hearing before the county council.
He pointed to an uptick in late night youth crime all over the county. He also pointed to a huge gang fight over the Fourth of July weekend.
"I think we need to right law that strikes the right balance between giving law enforcement the tool to deal with some of these situations and protecting good kids," the chief said.
Jurisdictions around Montgomery County – in particular Washington, D.C. and Prince George's County – have curfews. In the July 4 incident Manger mentioned, youths from D.C. and Prince George's County met in Silver Spring for a late night fight. A 17-year-old girl was stabbed.
And business owners who serve children will be responsible for getting them out of their establishments before curfew hours.
Silver Spring business owner Jeff Warner supports that.
"I see some problems with the teenagers late at night," Warner said. "There are a few bad apples but you hate to punish all the kids for just a few."

We bought the wedding band to match the engagement ring. She loves the style and "petite" band.
Elegant and timeless
Perfectly petite. I have small hands and prefer thin, delicate bands. This ring is a perfect addition to my bridal set. The ring is very sparkly too.
I LOVE this wedding band. My fiance ordered the 18k white gold princess solitare for my engagement ring and I had a difficult time find a band to sit flush with my engagement ring. I ordered the channel set princess .5 kt ring and then returned it because it was too bulky. This ring is simply classic and a wonderful compliment to my princess cut engagement ring! Perfect for small hands!
Already purchased this ring for the wedding and added a second for our 1 year anniversary. My wife loves the ring(s).
Can't wait to wear it!
This ring is so delicate and timeless! I got it as a wedding band to match my custom-made knife-edge solitaire engagement ring. While it's definitely very thin, I still think it has enough sparkle to stand well on its own for a more classic look. Customer service was great--they were able to get the ring in a quarter size for me for the same price, so be sure to ask if you don't see your size on the website.
I think the ring was very good, I just wish the diamonds were clearer, or at least an option for that.
excellent effeciency
quality store. I hate going into jewelry stores, this made life easy.
Perfect with the matching engagement ring
This ring is a perfect fit with the matching engagement ring. Very shiny but thin enough that is does not overpower the engagement ring. I'm sure it depends on the size and cut of your engagement diamond, but I have a 1 Carat princess cut and there is barely any gap between the engagement ring and this band.
Love this ring
Beautiful ring! I can't wait to wear it (and be married!)
It's definitely a little thin, but it's very classy looking and goes with my 2mm engagement ring perfectly
Sparkle, delicate, elegant and simple
The ring is very thin but perfect with my engagement ring!
This is a great ring I bought this to match the engagement ring I previously purchased from Blue Nile.
Beautiful 10 of 10 rating! She loved them...
Diamod quality very very nice! The ring is shiny and consistent throughout! I rate it 10/10. Two of these makes any solitare diamond look perfect!
Perfect for Mother's Day!
Beautiful ring! I compared it to a similar priced ring from a jewelry store and it doesn't even come close!! Great customer service. I could not be happier with my purchase.
Lovely Ring
I wanted my wedding band to match my micropave engagement band, and it does. It's a perfect simple, yet still sparkly, band. And it's very true to the picture on the website, as my engagement ring was.
Perfect Match!
This ring perfectly matches my Cathedral Pave engagement ring. It is simple, but still has lots of sparkle.
A little thin but when couple with the engagement ring, they look perfect together.
Just what I was looking for!!!
Excellent!!! my fiancee loved it, I looked everywhere for a ring like this and couldn't find it, until I heard of Blue Nile.. thank you very much!!
Classic and elegant
This ring is elegant and classic. As always, the quality and customer service with Blue Nile were exceptional. Very happy with my wedding band; I only wish the wedding were sooner so I could wear it!
Perfect complement!
Great ring! Complemented the Engagement Ring - Cathedral Pave Diamond Ring perfectly. My fiancee couldn't wait to put it on and keep it on. Beautiful shine that works so well with the engagement ring.

Having the right car insurance is only part of becoming a savvy New Jersey driver. That's why we compiled a convenient guide to the driving laws and stats that'll help you motor the Garden State with confidence.
Number of licensed drivers: 5,924,000
Registered vehicles: 6,114,000
Licensing and registration authority: Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC)
The state applies different points to driving records for different traffic violations. Points per incident can vary between 2 and 8, but the majority of incidents result in a 2-point penalty. See how NJ penalizes certain traffic violations here.
If you have 12 points on your driving record, your license could be suspended.
A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08 or higher is considered above the legal limit, which can lead to a DUI. DUI penalties include fines, jail sentences, community service, possible ignition interlock device installation, and a license suspension. A BAC of 0.10 or higher results in stricter penalties. Penalties after a DUI conviction depend on the driver's BAC level and any prior DUIs.
NJ drivers are banned from using handheld cell phones to talk or text while driving. It's a primary law in New Jersey, which means you can be pulled over and penalized without committing any other offense (like speeding).
New Jersey law requires you to report all accidents to the police that result in injuries, death, or $500 or more of vehicle/property damage. If the police don't come to the scene to take an accident report, you're required to file a written report with the Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) within 10 days.
If you plan on living in New Jersey for 6 months or more, you'll need to get a New Jersey drivers license and register your car. Becoming a licensed driver in New Jersey can be complicated. Here are some things to keep in mind:
Visit the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission for specific details.
If you're an active military member, your license, registration, and inspection sticker will stay valid until you're discharged. When that happens, you have 2 weeks to renew everything.
You can print a copy of the military extension letter for New Jersey drivers here (PDF). Keep a copy of it in your vehicle.
According to the National Insurance Crime Bureau's 2011 data, the top 10 stolen cars in New Jersey were:
First-time drivers who are younger than 18 will need to go through New Jersey's graduated licensing program.

Origins News Roundup for Friday, February 28, 2014
Ever wonder what a huge frozen lake looks like from space? Or what the best blunders in science history have been? Closer to home (for us anyway), have you contemplated whether America's views on evolution will ever change? Today's News Roundup brings you a mashup of thoughtful essays and some fun items to make your Friday more interesting.
Series: "The Language of God" Book Club (4 entries)
The BioLogos Book Club discussion of Francis Collins' The Language of God.
Rethinking the Origins Debate
Even among the majority [of Americans] who believe that God created humans, the chasm separating creationist and evolutionist views appears to be gargantuan. Are Americans really this divided over human origins? As a social scientist, I am skeptical about these findings.
Origins News Round-up for Friday, February 14, 2014
Read today's News Roundup for BioLogos-curated collection of articles analyzing and commenting on last week's debate between Bill Nye and Ken Ham—as well as some Valentine's Day amusements.
Nazarenes Exploring Origins Conference
As people came together for real conversations, they actually listened to one another, which is not always common in the kind of controversial topics we were exploring—topics about origins, evolution, and biblical interpretation.
Series: Ken Ham vs. Bill Nye (3 entries)
Series: From the Dust (13 entries)
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.
Long Life Spans in Genesis
"If God wanted to make Methuselah live to be 969 years old, we certainly believe that God could intervene in the natural order of things and make that happen. The question rather—as it should be for all biblical interpretation—is whether that is really the message of the text."
Confessions of an Evolving Baptist
"Being confronted with evolution may have been the catalyst for asking the difficult questions, but the real problem for me was not evolution – it was biblical literalism."
Trying all Things: The Importance of Experience in Scriptural Interpretation
"All of a sudden, it was possible to grant a text deep authority (a 'high view of scripture' we say) while discounting neither our own experience, nor the historical experience of those writing, compiling, editing that same text. To put it differently, all of a sudden, history mattered—the history of the text itself, and the history of our interpretations of a text."
The Challenge of Cosmology
The idea that the story we know is only the very beginning raises a new question in place of Feynman's objection that Christianity is provincial. Is it presumptuous to claim that in such a grand universe, possibly with intelligent life arising in many places, the redemption and transformation of the entire cosmos starts here, on our pale blue dot?
Biblical Credibility and Joshua 10: What Does the Text Really Claim?
Once we recognize that no one takes the text literally, and that we have often failed to account for the details in the text regarding the time of day, we can begin anew to try to understand the text as an ancient text rather than as a modern one. As such, we must begin with the idea that the text operates in the world of omens, not the world of physics and astronomy.
Evolution: What We Know and What We Don't
This entry was originally posted on February 17, 2010. In this video conversation, Jeff Schloss makes the observation that when we use the term "evolution", it is not always exactly clear what we are actually discussing unless we denote the intended usage.
With Charity to All
"…why a man should be hanged, because it has not yet pleased God to give him his spirit, I confess, I am yet to understand. Certainly to think by a halter to let new light into the understanding, or by the tortures of the body to heal the errors of the mind, seems to me like applying a plaister to the heel, to cure a wound in the head; which doth not work upon the seat of the disease…"
Series: Reflections on Reading Genesis 1-3: John Walton's World Tour (3 entries)
Old Testament scholar and BioLogos ECF grantee John H. Walton spent the first seven months of 2013 traveling around the United States and fifteen other countries lecturing on Genesis 1 - 3. In this series, we feature John's reflections on his world tour and the insights he gained from his conversations.
Understanding Evangelical Opposition to Evolution
This entry was originally posted on February 11, 2010. In this brief video, Professor Schloss addresses what he sees as the two primary reasons that evangelical Christians oppose evolutionary theory.
Origins News Roundup
Astrobiology is the field of inquiry about the origin of life on our planet and the possibility of life elsewhere in the universe. Making a comeback is the theory that life began on Mars and emigrated from there to Earth via meteorites dislodged by collisions with asteroids.
"From the Dust" Now Available for Download
We're excited to announce that the documentary From the Dust can now be purchased and rented through the iTunes Store!
Series: Searching for Motivated Belief (12 entries)
Over the next few months, with permission from Yale University Press, BioLogos will offer edited versions of chapters from John Polkinghorne's best books, Belief in God in an Age of Science and Theology in the Context of Science, in order to help readers delve more deeply into some of his most important ideas.

Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area
Appreciating Space In National Parks
There are worries that a majority of today's younger generations are not interested in spending much time outdoors in natural areas. The Student Conservation Association exists to help nurture and immerse these generations in places such as national parks and national forests. Jane Wong discovered that working in the field with the SCA gave her a great appreciation for the outdoors. This is her story.
