Though not selected in balloting or by National League All-Star manager Jack McKeon, the Diamondbacks centerfielder still has a chance to make this year's team as a Final Vote candidate.
Now in its third year, the Ameriquest 2004 All-Star Final
Vote gives baseball fans around the world the opportunity to select the
final position player on each All-Star team. Balloting began immediately
following Sunday night's Major League All-Start Selection Show and continues
until 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday. The winners will be announced at 9 p.m. ET
exclusively on MLB.com and will then be added to the AL and NL All-Star Game
The fun doesn't end there, however. Fans, having already
decided the starters and 32nd man, will have yet another opportunity to make
themselves heard with the return of the Ameriquest All-Star Game MVP Vote.
Beginning in the sixth inning of the All-Star Game on Tuesday, July 13, fans
can cast their vote for the player they believe deserves to win the Ted
Williams Award for being the game's Most Valuable Player. The fan vote
counts for 20 percent of the decision on which player wins the award, with the
media accounting for the other 80 percent.
"I guess I have to get on the Internet tonight," D-Backs outfielder Luis Gonzalez said. "There's no question he deserves to go. Look at the numbers he's put up this year and if you take out April they're even better. He's been phenomenal."
After his usual slow start to the season, Finley has certainly put up All-Star worthy numbers at the plate, while playing his customary stellar defense in center. He was selected for the All-Star Game in 1997 and 2000 and has been a borderline candidate in other years. To him, he's the perfect Final Vote candidate.
"It's an honor," Finley said. "It's kind of been where I've been throughout my whole career -- on that (Final Vote) list. But there never was a list (until recently) so now I'm on the list so maybe I've got a chance. We'll see."
Finley is 39 years old, but thanks to a rigorous training routine, he plays like a 29-year-old.
"He's physically in great shape and is just plugged in right now," former D-Backs manager Bob Brenly said of Finley recently. "He looks like his legs really have a lot of life in him. He's covered a lot of ground in the outfield. Offensively he's getting it done every day, running the bases and doing it pretty much every day. He just continues to amaze."
As for the numbers, Finley is on pace to hit 38 home runs and drive in 82 runs, and ranks in the top 10 in the NL in multi-hit games and total bases. He is the only active player with 300 doubles, 200 homers and 100 triples. Seventeen other big leaguers have accomplished that feat, and 16 are in the Hall of Fame.
"He's a true profession and the numbers speak for themselves," D-Backs skipper Al Pedrique said. "He should be there."
Whether he is or not is up to the fans.
The other NL Final Vote candidates are Marlins outfielder Juan Pierre, Cubs third baseman Aramis Ramirez, Pirates catcher Jason Kendall and Phillies outfielder Bobby Abreu.
AL Final Vote candidates are Twins outfielder Lew Ford, Indians designated hitter Travis Hafner, Yankees outfielder
Hideki Matsui, White Sox designated hitter Frank Thomas and White Sox first baseman Paul Konerko.

It is a famous place of the cluster amaryllis(HIGAN-BANA) in Toyota-City, Aichi. It will be based on...
The eight islands of Japan sprang into existence through Divine Intervention.
The first two gods who came into existence were Izanagi no Mikoto and Izanami no Mikoto, the Exalted Male and Exalted Female. It was their job to make the land for people to live on.
They went to the bridge between heaven and earth and, using a jewel-encrusted halberd, Izanagi and Izanami churned up the sea into a frothy foam. As salty drips of water fell from the tip of the halberd the first island was formed. Its name was Onogoro.
So far, so good. But when Izanagi and Izanami first met on their island, Izanami spoke to Isanagi without being spoken to first. Since she was the female, and this was improper, their first union created badly-formed offspring who were sent off into the sea in boats.
The next time they met, Izanagi was sure to speak first, ensuring the proper rules were followed, and this time they produced eight children, which became the islands of Japan.
I'm sure you did not fail to miss the significance of this myth for the establishment of Japanese formal society.
At present, Japan is the financial capital of Asia. It has the second largest economy in the world and the largest metropolitan area (Tokyo.)
Technically there are three thousand islands making up the Japanese archipelago. Izanagi and Izanami must have been busy little devils with their jewelled halberd...
Japan's culture is highly technical and organized. Everything sparkles and swooshes on silent, miniaturized mechanisms.
They're a world leader in robotics, and the Japanese have the longest life-expectancy on earth.

Japan, NATO cooperation with -
NATO cooperation with Japan Japan is the longest-standing of NATO's "partners across the globe". Building on initial contacts in the early 1990s, dialogue on common security interests has become more regular and structured. Practical cooperation has been developed in a wide range of areas, including peace-support and crisis-management activities, humanitarian assistance and disaster relief, cyber defence, defence against terrorism, non-proliferation, as well as participation in military activities. Stabilising Afghanistan has been a key focus of cooperation over the past decade. NATO and Japan signalled their commitment to strengthen cooperation in a joint political declaration signed in April 2013, during the visit of NATO's Secretary General to Japan. The joint political declaration demonstrates how far the relationship between NATO and Japan has been taken in recent years. It sets out shared strategic interests in promoting global peace, stability and prosperity through pursuing a rules-based international order. It also outlines areas where Japan and NATO can develop closer cooperation, such as crisis management, peace-support operations and disaster-relief efforts, as well as defending against emerging threats from missiles, pirates, or in cyberspace. Japan is one of a range of countries beyond the Euro-Atlantic area, which share similar strategic concerns and key Alliance values and with which NATO is developing relations. NATO's 2010 Strategic Concept paved the way for a more flexible partnership policy offering all partners the same basis of cooperation and dialogue. Choosing from the wide range of cooperation activities available in the Partnership Cooperation Menu, Japan concluded an Individual Partnership and Cooperation Programme with NATO on 6 May 2014 - a programme that is tailored to its interests and formalises its relations with the Alliance. Practical cooperation Japan has provided much-valued support for the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) and for reconstruction and development efforts in Afghanistan. Japan helped mobilise international support for Afghanistan's ongoing development by organising the Tokyo Conference in July 2012 and has itself pledged US$5 billion to this end over a five-year period (2009-2013). In the past, Japan supported efforts to disarm, demobilise and reintegrate former combatants, and it continues to support efforts to reintegrate insurgents under the Afghanistan Peace and Reintegration Program, to which Japan has contributed US$52 million. Japan has also provided financial support to human security projects in numerous regions of Afghanistan since 2007. Facilitated by ISAF, the Provincial Reconstruction Teams (PRTs) identify critical areas for Japan's Grant Assistance for Grassroots Projects (GAGP). In 2009, Japan appointed liaison officers to the Lithuanian PRT in Chaghcharan and the Swedish PRT in Mazar-e Sharif to support these programmes. They also maintained a direct presence in the office of the NATO Senior Civilian Representative in Afghanistan to help coordinate the US$20 million worth of GAGP funding. Moreover, Japan has made valuable contributions to the Afghan National Army (ANA) Trust Fund aimed at equipping and sustaining the ANA, including US$20 million for literacy programmes as well as funds to procure medical supplies. Additionally, Japan has made generous contributions to a NATO/Partnership Trust Fund project in Afghanistan with a view to enhancing stockpile management and physical security of ammunitions. Japan has also been contributing generously to the Law and Order Trust Fund for Afghanistan (LOTFA) since 2007, mainly to support the salaries and training of Afghan police. Donations over the three-year period from 2010 to 2012 amounted to almost US$600 million. Japan has supported similar Trust Fund projects in other partner countries. It is supporting an ammunition stockpile-management project in Tajikistan, the destruction of pesticides in Moldova and the clearance of an ammunition depot in Georgia. It also contributed to a project to clear 571 hectares of contaminated land and safely dispose of unexploded ordnance in Azerbaijan and has been supporting a similar Trust Fund project in Azerbaijan since 2011. In the 1990s, Japan played a role in stabilising the Balkans, where NATO has led several peace-support operations since the mid-1990s – as a major donor nation, it contributed to the successful recovery of the Balkans region and its reintegration into the European mainstream. More recently, Japan's Maritime Self Defence Force has assisted NATO ships with preventing pirate attacks in the Gulf of Aden. Dialogue A strategic dialogue involving high-level discussions held alternatively in Japan and at NATO Headquarters in Brussels has been ongoing since the early 1990s. Initial exchanges led to more structured and regular contact. NATO's Secretary General visited Tokyo in April 2005 and again in December 2007. In January 2007, during his first term as Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe addressed the North Atlantic Council (NAC). Japanese Foreign Minister Takeaki Matsumoto visited NATO Headquarters in May 2011 and met the current Secretary General, Anders Fogh Rasmussen. The Secretary General visited Japan again in April 2013 for talks with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and top officials in his government on security issues of shared concern as well as opportunities for deeper cooperation. In May 2014, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe returned to NATO Headquarters in Brussels to hold discussions with the Secretary General and address the NAC. It was during this visit that Japan's Individual Partnership Cooperation Programme was concluded. Demonstrating the deepening of relations between NATO and Japan in recent years, Japanese officials have participated in a number of informal exchanges of views with Allies on security issues of mutual interest, such as North Korea, assistance to Afghanistan, cooperation with Central Asia, missile defence and counter-piracy.

I don't see the ingredients online for the Pumpkin Spice. What are they? Thanks!
Arabica Coffee
Natural Flavor
Hope that helps.
Might be pregnant, but addicted to this flavor!
PS: I also love the German Choco Cake decaf, Creme Brulee decaf, and Cinnamon decaf, so if you have info on those as well, it would be greatly appreciated!
Gevalia uses the supercritical carbon dioxide decaffeination process. Green coffee beans are exposed to carbon dioxide at high pressure and an elevated temperature for a determined period of time to remove most of the coffee's caffeine. The pressure is then reduced and the coffee (decaffeinated green coffee) is ready for further processing -- roasting and grinding. There are no additional chemicals used
Decaffeinated coffees contain no more than 0.1% caffeine in the finished coffee, which results in a consumer intake of 2-3 mg of caffeine per 6 oz. serving .
This is with all of our decaf products.
thanks for your questions!

Home Machine Shops
I was looking at some of the pictures of Cub House Shops and was very impressed. I have been trying to set up a home machine shop in my garage as a retirement project.Looking for photos of other shops to get some ideas for tool storage and what everyone has for equipment.
Already have an engine lathe, metal band saw and a small drill press. We have a store nearby that resells tools and specializes in machinist tools. Got some great tools at a fraction of what new cost!
My next purchase will be a milling machine(Bridgeport) if I can find one thats not all worn out at a reasonable price.
Re: Home Machine Shops
Yes, Jerry, get that machine shop up and running so I can bring you over a few projects. Glad all is well with you, my friend.

Re: Home Machine Shops
For a Bridgeport you'll need a phase converter won't you? Haven't seen any single phase motors on one before. The old Index I have, I bought because it has a single phase motor on it.

Re: Home Machine Shops
Jeff,I'm trying to get things running here! Still dealing with the disability insurance company !
Rick< You are correct that they are 3 phase power so a convertor would be needed. I'm kind of torn between a newer imported knee mill (Grizzly) which I believe is single phase 230v for more money or a used bridgeport with a phase convertor for less money.
Not going to do to much until i get my legs back under me! Going to another cardiologist on Tuesday to see if anything can be done to relieve the constant chest pain.
My current heart specialist doesnt see any reason that I should be having chest pain. 85% plugged coronary artery shouldnt be a problem.
Anyway hope everyone has a Happy and safe New Year!
Re: Home Machine Shops
I have a 3 phase Bridgeport and run it with a phase convertor with no problems, it gathers no dust in my shop, you cannot compare the quality of old american iron to the cheap imports
Re: Home Machine Shops
I agree with that statement! Can't beat a Bridgeport. People that have them dont usually part with them until they die! The owner not the Bridgeport
Re: Home Machine Shops
I doubly agree with you guys
i have a bridgeport run on a rotary phase converter and am very happy with it
It has done many projects for cubs
BTW I'm considering having mine buried with me (LOL)

Re: Home Machine Shops
I have been taking notes on shops from everyone also. I know one thing, Bridgeport mills are getting tough to find around here. I have been looking for one for the metals shop at school for 3 yrs now. Have had no luck. Can't afford a new one. I have used one before and loved it. It would be a great addition to any shop. I hope to be getting our first house this spring/summer so I can get started on that all important work shop.
Re: Home Machine Shops
Check auction sites, Isee used machinery on them all the time
Re: Home Machine Shops
Company I worked for sold a Bridgeport for $1000 to another employee before I got the word. Oh well. I saw some on EBay a while back. I suppose most of them go to China and are used to make cheap copies of the real deal. Anyway, yes, a mill is as valuable as a lathe, if you want to make things yourself and not farm it out. Get an air compressor too....a big one. Bead blaster, welders (aceteylene and stick), and hydraulic press. That should just about do it.
Re: Home Machine Shops
I"ve got a pretty good start on getting the shop equipped. Jet metal bandsaw, drill press ,MIG welder,torches,welding table and a nice work bench.Oh yeah the old lathe that I got cheap. I also picked up a nice Kennedy tool chest. We have a store nearby that buys and resells machinist tools. They resell at a very reasonable price.I picked 4 Kennedy machinist tool boxes at a fraction of what 1 new box would cost. You get really nice name brand tools at 1/10 the coat of new. My favorite place to shop.
I love my shop!
Re: Home Machine Shops
I love my shop too. I wish I had made it a bit larger....it's 900 sf. It also has cable TV, phone and internet. No couch or recliner...it's all business. Wife says I spend more time in there than in the house.....she's right.
Re: Home Machine Shops
My wife says the same thing ! No TV. No internet.No recliner. Just the radio and scanner. If I had a bathroom out there I'd have no reason to go inside.
Re: Home Machine Shops
I have been to lots of auctions and have seen fairly nice bridgeports go for less than $500. Just depends who shows up. I run a tool and die shop and get fliers from auction houses every week. Myron Bowling has some good auctions as well as many others. Just go on line and look.
Re: Home Machine Shops
looked on line for auctions of machine tools . Didnt find much. Does anyone have web addresses ?

The idols of Boa Island
Boa is at the lower end of Lough Erne in Co. Fermanagh. Here, in the ancient Caldragh cemetery are two pre-Christian stone figures - the Janus statue and a smaller statue, the Lusty Man. Shown is the more famous of the two - a double-sided figure of two beings carved back-to-back. Interestingly, this type of figure is often referred to when the calendar year has just turned and we are glancing back even as we move forward. Also, the month of January is named after Janus, the Roman god of doors and gates. Often flowers and coins are left at the base of both statues - perhaps for good luck in the new year? Speculation as to what the idols represent continues.

Countering William Ruto's Ignorant Lies (No. 1): William Ruto, your bigoted stripes are showing, and you are now taking our intelligence for granted. Shame on You!
Sex Means Gender – Look it Up in a Dictionary
The Referendum Campaign is degenerating into a farce and somewhat to blame is the Kenyan Mass Media which is unfortunately force feeding us with daily television clips of politicians saying bizarre things and obvious lies about the Proposed Constitution. Surely the time has come for the Mass Media to allow rebuttal of everything being said by the desperate 'No' proponents before broadcasting their misleading versions of what the Proposed Constitution means to Kenyans and their future. Ditto the 'Yes' political gang which is unscrupulously going about promising heaven on earth the day after August 4, 2010. Balance is a key ethical demand of journalism, or is it not?
Recently, the 'No' political gang has become preoccupied with Sex. This word that only appears in the Proposed Constitution of Kenya three times, is now one of the linchpins in William Ruto's campaign against the Proposed Constitution. Mr. Ruto has now taken to the 'Big Lie' technique by which a lie repeated frequently enough will eventually be taken to be the factual truth – and unquestioningly so.
Today, from within the precincts of Parliament William Ruto, in the company of several MPs, held a press conference at which he claimed that section 27(4) of the Proposed Constitution will legalise same sex marriage. He also dared anyone to rebut his interpretation – and so we at Mars Group, totally fed up with William Ruto, now meet his challenge.
William Ruto is spewing bunk and we'd like to call him out of order.
The Proposed Constitution in section 45 (2) is clear as to what marriages are to be legal in Kenya should it be passed at the Referendum of August 4, 2010. In sum, section 45(2) of the Proposed Constitution of Kenya clearly states that "Every adult has the right to marry a person of the opposite sex, based on the free consent of the parties."
Either because of desperation, or for lack of education, Mr. Ruto understands, or believes that the word 'sex' in section 27 means something other than 'gender' in constitutional terms. His inferences on same-sex-marriage and otherwise are ignorant and unbefitting of a three-term legislator especially now that he is on a whirlwind tour of the country advising people on the content of the Proposed Constitution. In fact section 27 of the Proposed Constitution of Kenya declares the right to equality between the two sexes (Female and Male) and the prohibition of any State and Private discrimination against any Kenyan merely on account of their gender (i.e. sex).
Section 27 (4) reads as follows:
Equality and freedom from discrimination
27. (1) Every person is equal before the law and has the right to equal protection and equal benefit of the law.
(2) Equality includes the full and equal enjoyment of all rights and fundamental freedoms.
(3) Women and men have the right to equal treatment, including the right to equal opportunities in political, economic, cultural and social spheres.
(4) The State shall not discriminate directly or indirectly against any person on any ground, including race, sex, pregnancy, marital status, health status, ethnic or social origin, colour, age, disability, religion, conscience, belief, culture, dress, language or birth.
(5) A person shall not discriminate directly or indirectly against another person on any of the grounds specified or contemplated in clause (4).
The only other clause in the Proposed Constitution of Kenya which contains the word 'sex' is section 53 which makes plain that in the event that a child is to be detained that detention conditions shall take account of both the age and the gender of the concerned minor. To advance this argument we would advise William Ruto and his cohort to look at the Current Constitution of Kenya, and if they did they would surely see (unless they choose to be blind) that Chapter V our Bill of Rights, currently contains two clauses in which the word 'sex' appears; AND clearly when the word appears it means 'gender' (read section 70 – 'Fundamental rights and freedoms of the individual' & section 82(3) – 'Protection from discrimination on the grounds of race, etc'). The word 'sex' appears nowhere else in the Current Constitution of Kenya, and obviously it's context and meaning are clear. Since 1963 how many same-sex marriages have been conducted on the basis of these two clauses of our Current Constitution, Mr. Ruto?
We pray that Kenyans won't be fooled by the likes of Mr. Ruto; and that they will read the Proposed Constitution for themselves. Compare the Proposed Constitution with that which has prevailed in Kenya and permitted dictatorship and gross human rights violations, and make your own individual choices. For our part we would say to Mr. William Ruto, using his own well-worn catch-phrase, 'Give Us a Break'! William Ruto, your bigoted stripes are showing, and you are now taking our intelligence for granted. Shame on You, Kiema Kilonzo, Canon Karanja et al.
Lies run sprints but the Truth runs marathons.
Mars Group Kenya
Section 45.
(1) The family is the natural and fundamental unit of society and the necessary basis of social order, and shall enjoy the recognition and protection of the State.
(2) Every adult has the right to marry a person of the opposite sex, based on the free consent of the parties.
(3) Parties to a marriage are entitled to equal rights at the time of the marriage, during the marriage and at the dissolution of the marriage.
(4) Parliament shall enact legislation that recognises—
(a) marriages concluded under any tradition, or system of religious, personal or family law; and
(b) any system of personal and family law under any tradition, or adhered to by persons professing a particular religion,
to the extent that any such marriages or systems of law are consistent with this Constitution.
Obviously, in this context, Sex' means gender!!
section 53.
(1) Every child has the right –
(f) not to be detained, except as a measure of last resort, and when detained, to be held –
(i) for the shortest appropriate period of time; and
(ii) separate from adults and in conditions that take account of the child's sex and age.
Obviously, in this context, Sex' means gender!!
Section 70.
Fundamental rights and freedoms of the individual.
Whereas every person in Kenya is entitled to the fundamental rights and freedoms of the individual, that is to say, the right, whatever his race, tribe, place of origin or residence or other local connexion, political opinions, colour, creed or sex, but subject to respect for the rights and freedoms of others and for the public interest, to each and all of the following, namely—
(a) life, liberty, security of the person and the protection of the law;
(b) freedom of conscience, of expression and of assembly and association; and
(c) protection for the privacy of his home and other property and from deprivation of property without compensation,
the provisions of this Chapter shall have effect for the purpose of affording protection to those rights and freedoms subject to such limitations of that protection as are contained in those provisions, being limitations designed to ensure that the enjoyment of those rights and freedoms by any individual does not prejudice the rights and freedoms of others or the public interest.
Obviously, in this context, Sex' means gender!!
Section 82.
Protection from discrimination on the grounds of race, etc.
(1) Subject to subsections (4), (5) and (8), no law shall make any provision that is discriminatory either of itself or in its effect. [FN: 9 of 1997, s. 9,]
(2) Subject to subsections (6), (8) and (9), no person shall be treated in a discriminatory manner by a person acting by virtue of any written law or in the performance of the functions of a public office or a public authority.
(3) In this section the expression "discriminatory" means affording different treatment to different persons attributable wholly or mainly to their respective descriptions by race, tribe, place of origin or residence or other local connexion, political opinions, colour, creed or sex whereby persons of one such description are subjected to disabilities or restrictions to which persons of another such description are not made subject or are accorded privileges or advantages which are not accorded to persons of another such description.
Obviously, in this context, Sex' means gender!!

Over the course of the last few years, the state of Wisconsin has taken some good strides in terms of making new laws for outdoorsmen.
We no longer need to use gun or bow cases. We have mourning dove and wolf seasons, as well as plenty of other rules that are pending. These make being a hunter or fisherman much more attractive. The turkey season is another good example and it's what I'm writing about today.
Turkey hunting started out with baby steps. Hunters had to (and still need to) apply for a permit to hunt turkyes. If and when you were drawn, hunters were given five days to hunt, with hunting ending by no later than noon each day. Hunters had to follow the time period the DNR dictated.
Fast forward to 2013.
More on hunting: Hunting headlines | 2012-2013 trophy shots | More hunting photos | Watch a rebroadcast of Deer Camp Live | Registration station map | Hunting blogs
Some things have changed positively, but not in big enough strides. And it's very frustrating to many of today chasers of thunder chickens.
Hunters still apply for chance to obtain a tags. Time and again, I've seen people receive notice that they've been denied a permit, yet there are left over tags. These tages will be bought later and sometimes a lucky hunter will wind up with two or three tags. This year, people were only given two time periods to choose from instead of six. Many hunters (myself included) drew a tag and but didn't receive the time period I selected. I can't tell you how many people that has happened to, but I know of several.
With the late winter we have had this year this may be a blessing for me, but it hurt a lot of other hunters. This brings me to my next idea, how about scrapping the current season format?
Wisconsin should do away with the ridculous way it has set up its turkey season for a number of reasons. For starters, the $3 application fee should get removed.
If money is an issue for the DNR, then take the $3 and add it to the license fee, which leads to my next point. The DNR should sell the licenses over-the-counter to anyone who wants one. The DNR may make more money, because there would be no denials for people and more licenses sold, but limit it to one tag per customer if the DNR is worried about over-harvesting.
If they aren't worried about too many turkeys taken under this plan, then sell additional tags for a fee. Set the season as a 30-45 day season in the spring.
This year's cold, wet, and in many places, a snowy spring really hurts hunters' chances and many in the earlier seasons went home empty-handed because either they couldn't get out or the birds weren't following normal routines.
A straight-up season would benefit hunters by allowing more freedom to pick and choose the days they hunt, increasing the harvest and satisfying more hunters, which in turn would likely produce more license sales in the following year.
We have something along those lines in the fall, where hens are fair game, but fall turkeys aren't something most people are after that time of year. A one size can, and should, fit all in the spring. It eliminates confusion and frustration with the DNR, and would give them more credibility in the eyes of the people who pay their wages (you and I). Not to mention the turkey population could certainly handle it. I believe that there are plenty of birds to go around.
Wisconsin has made some good progress when it comes to turkeys. No one argues that. We have a seven day season and can hunt all day, instead of just mornings. And hunters can register their birds by phone, instead of going to a registration station.
The are all good steps, but it's time to take a bold leap into the future. If we don't, the sport will suffer.
It's a bad system, that needs a fix sooner rather than later. The state should consider a longer season before hunters get fed up with the process and it's too late.

Statement by Writers Guild of America, East Condemning Michigan Assault on Unions
December 12, 2012
Lame duck Republicans in Michigan have ripped up and thrown out a chapter of that state's long and proud labor history, ramming through a "right to work" law that will force unions to represent people who do not pay dues. The Writers Guild of America, East condemns this transparent effort to deprive organized labor of resources and to drive wages and benefits down, down, down.

- Baker goes against the numbers, plays Bruce
- Votto taking struggles at the plate in stride
- Bray moves to Triple-A for rehab assignment
CINCINNATI -- During an on-field ceremony on Friday to commemorate Jackie Robinson Day, the Reds honored 10-year-old Raeya Ponugoti for being the winner of the 2012 Breaking Barriers: In Sports, In Life essay contest.Ponugoti, a fifth-grade student from Park Tudor School in Indianapolis, wrote an essay about dealing with bullying while staying true to her passion for dance. It beat out over 6,500 entrants. Earlier in the day, she and her classmates met with MLB educational programming consultant and Sharon Robinson to learn more about her father Jackie Robinson's story. The "Breaking Barriers: In Sports, In Life" program was developed by MLB, Sharon Robinson and Scholastic, with the purpose of helping students in grades four through nine deal with barriers and challenges in their lives. Jackie Robinson's achievement of breaking baseball's color barrier in 1947 serves as the basis for the program. The contest's 2011 winner, Meggie Zahneis, is currently a youth correspondent for MLB.com. Sharon Robinson, Hall of Famer Joe Morgan and Reds third baseman Scott Rolen -- an Indiana native -- took part in the on-field ceremony. Also honored was Tony White, president of All Gone Pest Control, for being the 2012 most valuable diverse business partner award winner.
Baker goes against the numbers, plays Bruce
CINCINNATI -- Jay Bruce's lifetime numbers going into Friday against Astros lefty starter Wandy Rodriguez were most definitely not in his favor. The Reds right fielder came in 1-for-26 with 13 strikeouts.Reds manager Dusty Baker decided to move Bruce from fifth to seventh in the lineup and moved up left fielder Ryan Ludwick. "I wrestled with not playing him. I've sat him a couple of times against Wandy," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. One reason the manager played Bruce was his recent hitting tear -- including a .393 average (11-for-28) over his last seven games. He hit a two-run home run on Thursday vs. the Giants also. "Those two guys are going to be playing each other for a long time," Baker said. "They're both relatively young. It's a pride thing. You don't want people to keep having your number. If I don't play him, he'll keep having that number. The only way to break that number is to play and try to figure him out. Hopefully the law of averages is on his side."
Votto taking struggles at the plate in stride
CINCINNATI -- When a player has reached base safely via a hit or walk in all but one of his games this season, most wouldn't think he was struggling.Then again, most players aren't Reds first baseman Joey Votto. Votto, who struck out three times in Thursday's loss to the Giants, entered Friday with 22 strikeouts over 86 plate appearances in his 19 games. It took 34 games in 2011 for him to reach his 22nd strikeout. "Strikeouts come in streaks, just like everything," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "It seems like every time he's hitting now, he's got two strikes on him. It's hard to hit like that. You take a close pitch and every pitch is called a strike. Then he'll foul off a pitch. The next thing you know, you're 0-2." Votto entered with a .273 average, one home run and 10 RBIs but has reached in 18 of 19 games. He led the National League with 18 walks and was fourth with a .430 on-base percentage. "That's Barry Bonds type of stuff," Baker said. "When Barry was struggling, I'd see him go 0-for-the-week, and be like 0-for-12. One thing the walks do for you, you're seeing so many pitches that you're going to get your timing and vision. The more pitches you see, the better your timing gets." And for those worrying about Votto's high strikeout rate, take a stroll down memory lane to 2010. According to Reds TV statistician Joel Luckhaupt, Votto had 22 strikeouts and 13 walks in his first 86 plate appearances that season. He went on to win the NL Most Valuable Player Award. "He knows he's going to hit. We know he's going to hit. And you know he's going to hit," Baker said. "We're just not used to seeing him struggle like this. It's happened to everybody who has played this game."
Bray moves to Triple-A for rehab assignment
CINCINNATI -- Reds reliever Bill Bray joined Triple-A Louisville for a rehabilitation assignment on Friday. On Tuesday, Bray was placed on the 15-day disabled list -- retroactive to April 19 -- because of a strained left groin.Louisville is playing at Norfolk this weekend and Bray is expected to see some action. By rule, the left-hander can rehab for up to 20 days. It was not known how long he'd be pitching in the Minors. "He missed so much spring training and still wasn't [right]," Reds general manager Walt Jocketty said. "We gave him a few days off to let that thing get 100 percent. We're trying to get him some work with the rehab assignment." Injured early in camp, Bray was limited to 3 2/3 innings over four games. In five regular season games, totaling 2 2/3 innings, he had a 13.50 ERA with five hits, three walks, three strikeouts and two home runs.

These days, Johnson -- who was released by the Miami Dolphins in August after being arrested for domestic battery -- has became a caricature of his former self.
Never short on gimmicks -- be it the Hall of Fame jacket, the name change or handing an NFL official a dollar bill -- the six-time Pro Bowler tried his hand in yet another one on live television Wednesday morning.
When most people are looking for new work, they go around handing out resumes to prospective employers. Johnson took a rather different approach.
Looking for one final shot to prolong his professional career, Johnson took to ESPN's FirstTake desk to plea with any general manager who might be tuning in.
While it was concise and seemed partly genuine, it also reeked of desperation, and oh by way, was entirely inaccurate.
Johnson described himself as humble, quiet and always open.
Good luck with that one, Chad.

Post subject: How long does it take to get your fave Distro just right?
Hi All, with many interesting and relevant threads on here at the moment (awkward software installers, references for beginning programming etc.), I thought I'd take the opportunity to tie some of them together with what I've been doing recently.
I recently upgraded my desktop from openSUSE 11.3 to 12.1. Aside from some hardware upgrades that I took the opportunity to perform (boosting the storage capacity), I have to say the process consumed a fair amount of time. Not so much the initial installation, or even adding all the extra programmes I use and doing the first update but things like adding the firefox and thunderbird extensions I use and setting up unison, ssh, amarok, arduino, git, get iPlayer etc. The fine details of a set up. Any way, this process piqued my curiosity...
My questions are: How long does it take you to get your favourite Distro installed and set up just as you like it? What steps, if any, have you taken to accelerate this process?
I've been using openSUSE for a while now and have slowly been documenting the programmes and respositories that I install and how I configure things. Recently I wrote a one click installer file for all my favourite programmes. I have also isolated a few config and profile files and written a shell script to install them all in one go. I also have my address books and rss feeds exported to files in order to aid installation on a new system. As a result, I don't expect the process to take so long next time but I'm curious to know what others do...

I have a separate /home partition. This saves on setting up most of the desktop features I use. When I install, I just format and write a new / and assign my old /home as the new /home, so it keeps the settings.
As for installed software, I have 2 records of programs - new and main. If I use a program often and find it worthwhile, I add it to my main list of installed programs. This list is something I consult when doing all my post install software grabs. It means that instead of trying to remember what I need, I can just grab the lot in one go.
Both of these things keeps my install down to about 20ish mins for the install, and about another hour to update and isntall everything else. This hourish varies depending on how many updates there are to grab.

Pretty much what
suggests, though there are is at least one package I need to build. But of course, as Linux admits of an almost infinite amount of tinkering, installation is never really a finished work.
I don't think I've ever got a Windows installation "just how I want it", and for OSX, Snow Leopard was probably the closest I've come to ideal on that platform.

Though openSUSe offers an upgrade option, this only works with consecutive releases. It is also only available with the DVD which, by default, installs a lot more than the Live CD versions. So, whether you use it for a fresh install or for an upgrade, it always takes longer - a lot longer if you select the upgrade option as it has to analyse what you have and what you need upgrading. The CD versions simply copy a ready-made / partition.
Ever since openSUSE made a separate 'home partition the default, I have always done a fresh install using a Live CD which, including the time to download the CD, add the programs the CD lacks together with the speacialist ones I need and restore my mysql databses, takes me about two hours.
That is partly influenced by the fact that I have genuine 10Meg broadband.

"Just how I want it" never happens - every distro falls short and they keep changing anyway. (e.g. Debian Squeeze refuses to put my toolbars in the right order, gives me a grottier Shutdown button than Lenny did, and drives me mental by constantly taking screenshots when I accidentally nudge the wrong key. But that's way better than most).
I do have a separate partition for /home, am struggling to set up Unison to sync my backup box to it.
I also keep a plain text list of key config details such the apps and drivers I have installed above the base distro, and any magic spells I needed to do that.

Hi All,
Some interesting comments. It seems most of you have great success with upgrading in place, something of which I've always been wary. Perhaps unjustly so, it sound like I need to re-evaluate that. The reason I don't like it is if config file formats change to the point of breaking between releases, it could cause problems. But if it is now a mature technology...
I think my main time consumer during my upgrade (by fresh installation) was actually emptying a 1 TB disk onto 3 smaller disks, some attached by USB, some over ethernet, and then copying the contents back once I'd set up the volume group. Also better documenting the changes I made after installation, so I can apply them more methodically the next time and writing a few scripts to automate some of this took quite a while.
, keeping a list of extra programmes to install is what I do too. It's a simple and great idea.
, I know what you mean about a windows installation. I still have yet to commission a new installation of anything past XP Pro. Whilst admittedly that it is nearly 12 years old, it can take a weekend to get all the OS and MS programme patches installed (even though I rolled SP2 and SP3 into an original installation disc for XP Pro SP1a) and I don't have many programmes on my MS partition. It is a royal nightmare. However, since getting to grips with Clonezilla, disc upgrades no longer require a re-installation of XP on the machines I run it on.
, I used to always install from the DVD, but I tried the KDE CD when I last upgraded my laptop to 11.4 and was pleasantly surprised by how efficient the whole process was. I don't think I really need much of the software on the DVD, considering that multimedia programmes and codecs should be installed from the Packman repository and that installation from repositories of updated packages since release are usually preferable to what is on the disc. I would prefer it if the CD would allow me to do more post installation configuration myself (host and site names) instead of only offering autoconfiguration. Has that changed since 11.4? I think 2 hrs is pretty good going if you are getting back to where you left off with the previous version of any distro.
Thanks to all for your comments.

One thing I always do with Firefox and Thunderbird is to just copy my profile across - that way all my extensions, bookmarks and emails are ready and set up for me, without a lot of extra work.
Other than that, I've distro-hopped enough to get the basics of getting a distro set up reasonably quickly, but I tend to wait and install things as I know I'll need them - otherwise I wind up with a lot of programs I used once a long time ago and haven't needed since.

As you can see from the help section I've still not gotten mine right, not because I've got any problems, but because the distro itself keeps changing on me.
I know we've (or at least many of us) have bemoaned Canonical going with Unity on Ubuntu, so I shan't labour the point.
However, I do wish they'd pack it in.
My current list of steps to customise my Ubuntu install runs to 38 different commands, half of which simply fail to work when I try to create myself a customer Live CD/Distro with the tools for Ubuntu
I've used Linux since... well, since it was kernel 1.3.0, if memory serves. And I'm still not happy

Post subject: Ages and Ages
I have always done a clean install. Usually I take the chance to play around with partition sizes, and the allocation of directories to them, so I am shunting stuff to back-up areas and back again, filtering it in the process. I still have back-up files from several upgrades ago that I need to look through some time ...
I am also re-formatting partitions from Reiserfs to Ext4 (in view of what happened with Hans Reiser). I currently have about 18 partitions, about half of them Reiserfs.
For me, a distro upgrade usually co-incides with some hardware upgrade (a failed BIOS, so new Mobo, was the recent reason) so I am talking about the PC's physical guts being all over the place for a day or two. That is just the start of it.
Then there are the drivers. I have just spent two evenings trying to replace the Nouveau video driver installed by OpenSuse by the Nvidia proprietary one, getting help from forums. You can't use the drivers from last time - they won't play with the new kernel.
Then there is the boot manager. It is rare that a new installation does not nuke my boot manager set-up.
Then it is editing fstab for the NFS set-up. Maybe I could just use the old one, but they keep changing the format of this stuff. And the new Mobo sees my three HDs in a different order from the previous one.
By the time I have "perfected" my set-up (I feel like like Inspector Clouseau "perfecting" his plumbing) it will be overtaken by the next upgrade.

Hans Resier had stopped working on Reiserfs some time before his "relocation". He was working on Reiser4, which is a completely different beast.
18 partitions! You really need to look at LVM, particularly if you are in the habit of resizing, reformatting or shifting data around.

Not sure I want to commemorate his name. It was a good file system though.

But would LVM provide hermetic seals between different areas like partitions do?
I make four primaries on each HD as a matter of course, even if I don't immediately use them all. I size the system partitions to be not much more than they need, say half full - no point in them being ten times too big. I am old-fashioned and use cfdisk, don't like hot resizing.
Let's see (looks like only 17, sorry):-
sda1 DOS system (yes, for retro games)
sda2 DOS data (used to be Win95, purely for an old scanner)
sda3 OpenSuse Swap
sda4 OpenSuse /var
sdb1 Windows XP
sdb2 OpenSuse /boot
sdb3 OpenSuse /
sdb4 Windows Data
sdc1 Linux Data (effectively /home, gets mounted on a /home stub)
sdc2 Linux Data (archive stuff)
sdc3 Linux Data (more archive stuff, complete copies of old /homes)
sdc4 Extended partition containing :-
sdc5 Prepared for Mepis /boot - but installation put /boot in / , so disused
sdc6 Mepis /
sdc7 Mepis /home
sdc8 Mepis /data (mounted on /Mepis /home)
sdc9 Mepis swap
sdc10 Spare
This is a snapshot just after installing Mepis. I still need to tidy up, like Suse and Mepis could share a swap partition.

ST. PETERSBURG -- B.J. Upton left Wednesday night's game against the Mariners prior to the sixth inning as a precaution, after he experienced tightness in his right quadriceps.
On Thursday morning, Upton sounded like he would be fine.
"Last night it just wouldn't loosen up for me," Upton said. "I went back out for the top of the fifth, the trainers did a little work on me between innings and I felt OK. But once I got back on the turf it kind of tightened up, you know."
Upton did not start on Thursday in the finale against the Mariners.
"Today, I feel good enough to come off the bench," Upton said. "Joe didn't want to start me today. But I feel good enough to come off the bench.
"I plan on being in the lineup [on Friday]. It's not that big of a deal. Precautionary measure, and that's about it."
Peralta gets well-earned day off
ST. PETERSBURG -- After notching a five-out save on Wednesday night, Joel Peralta arrived to Tropicana Field dressed for a day of leisure.
Manager Joe Maddon told Peralta he had the day off after the veteran reliever preserved the Rays' 5-4 win in heroic fashion, earning his first save of the season. So the veteran reliever showed up at the clubhouse wearing beach attire, including swim trunks, straw hat, and flip flops, while carrying a beach ball.
Maddon "said go to the beach," Peralta teased.
Kidding aside, facing Peralta has not been a day at the beach for opposing hitters lately. He has not been charged with an earned run in his last 10 appearances (9 2/3 innings) and has surrendered just three hits during that stretch.
Peralta struggled earlier in the season, when he gave up four earned runs at Boston on April 13 without retiring a batter. After that appearance, Peralta worked with pitching coach Jim Hickey and felt better. Then his long-time pitching coach, Fausto Mejia, flew in from the Dominican Republic to help his pupil, who was struggling with his mechanics at the time.
"[Mejia] is the one who taught me everything from Day 1," Peralta said. "He saw some things. A friend of mine was recording me on video and he watched the videos and called me on the phone and said I was doing a lot of things I wasn't supposed to do. So he bought a plane ticket and came over on [April 20]. We started working out the very next morning and everything started getting better and better."
Peralta noticed a dramatic difference in how his delivery felt after working with Mejia.
"He saw things that probably only he could notice, because he was the one who built me, you know," Peralta said. "And I've been that same guy for 13 years. He saw it and fixed it right away."
Peralta noted that Mejia was the man who converted him from an infielder to a pitcher.
Ailing Zimmer making progress
ST. PETERSBURG -- Baseball icon and Rays senior advisor Don Zimmer has not been with the team since the first weekend of the season due to several hospital visits for different maladies over the past month.
Kidney problems have caused Zimmer's most recent health problem. He is scheduled to begin dialysis immediately.
Rays manager Joe Maddon said he talked to Zimmer on Wednesday.
"Talked to him yesterday and he sounded better," Maddon said. "He wanted to know how everybody was doing. He was Zim being Zim."
Warm-ups becoming hard-hat zone
ST. PETERSBURG -- First Jeremy Hellickson got hit in the head by a batting practice home run in Detroit. Now it seems Matt Moore had his own troubles during pre-game warm-ups.
On Thursday morning, the right side of Moore's face was visibly swollen after getting hit while playing catch with David Price prior to Wednesday night's game.
"I think it deflected off the side of my glove," Moore said. "Pretty wicked, man."
Moore treated his injury with ice and the rookie left-hander said he was fine.
