The Minnesota Twins signed Mike Pelfrey. Well, they didn't sign him so much as activate the beacon that called him home to where he belonged in the first place. The Twins have been scheming ways to get him since Pelfrey appeared on the CBS Pitch To Contact Christmas Special three years ago. Finally they got their man.
Where did this strategy come from? The Twins used to have Johan Santana and Francisco Liriano, two of the strike-outingest pitchers in the land. The spiritual godfather was probably Brad Radke, who pitched 12 mostly strikeout-free years with the Twins. But if there's a Mt. Rushmore of The Twins' Way, Kyle Lohse would probably be on it. He didn't have the longevity of Radke, but he was the one the Twins weaponized and sent out into the world.
He pitched poorly in his last half-season with the Twins, but after kicking around with the Reds and Phillies for a bit, he turned into something of a generic innings-eater -- good enough to be in major-league rotations, not good enough to think about the second he left the mound. He went to the Cardinals and got a little better, because that's what the Cardinals do, but for a while he was still just Kyle Lohse. No more, no less.
Since the start of 2011, Lohse is 30-11 with a 3.11 ERA.
In that stretch, he's thrown 399 innings, which isn't exactly workhorse-like, but still a testament to his newfound durability and reliability. His ERA during that time is better than those of CC Sabathia, Felix Hernandez, and James Shields. His winning percentage is better than all but three pitchers -- better than Cole Hamels and Matt Cain, David Price and Clayton Kershaw.
Now, you know there are better stats with which to evaluate a pitcher. And, of course, so does every GM in the game. We hope. But no matter how much attention they pay to fielding-independent stats or advanced metrics, they still grew up with the stats on the backs of baseball cards. And that 30-11, 3.11 ERA combo tickles their subconscious. Even as they know that Kyle Lohse probably isn't this good, they'll take an extended glance at him for reasons they can't explain in words. They'll just think, "What if … what if …"
Or they might think, "Three years for Kyle Lohse? Hahaha, no."
This is almost the toughest contract to peg on the market. Jim Bowden thinks he'll get three years, $39 million, but the rich teams are mostly set with their pitching. The Dodgers have dozens of pitchers, and the Yankees spent their money on bringing their own free agents back. The Rangers might have a rotation spot to fill, but they are also likely to be wary of Lohse pitching in Arlington, as well they should. The Pirates and Royals might have some interest, but they probably don't have the scratch. Going down the list of all 30 teams, it's easy to make excuses why every team isn't interested.
The favorites
Is there a favorite to sign Lohse? Probably not. There are a lot of teams who would love to have Lohse, but not for more than $10 million per year, and not for more than a year or two. So I'll cheat and name two favorites, based on set conditions:
If the market for Lohse is hot enough that he'll get a three-year deal, it would need to be a team that can play a little loose with the checkbook. A Lohse deal would allow the Angels to trade either Mark Trumbo or Peter Bourjos for prospects instead of a starting pitcher, with Lohse being better than most of the trade options out there. The Angels would know that 2015 would probably be a mess, but I have a sneaking suspicion they don't really care too much about the back-ends of multi-year deals right now.
But if the market is a little soft for Lohse, and if there isn't a team willing to go for three years, I can see the Cardinals jumping back in. They liked him enough to make the qualifying offer for him, at least, risking him accepting what would be close to a $12 million deal. Jaime Garcia's shoulder iffiness has to scare them a bit, and Lance Lynn's stuff played much better in the bullpen last season. Plus, it seems like they know how to use Lohse, as if they have a system. I'd guess that Lohse feels comfortable with the folks who helped him turn his career around.
The ideal
The Indians make sense here, but I'll go with a MYSTERY TEAM. Hear me out.
The A's have a cornucopia of pitchers. Really, what they did last year with rookies filling in for injured pitchers was amazing. Their rotation is full, and they still have Travis Blackley and Brad Peacock in a glass case. They don't need Lohse.
But Lohse would be a great fit for that park, and for the defense the A's are putting together. And the A's also need a shortstop, which the Indians would be willing to provide in exchange for young pitching. Which, again, the A's have all over the place. I don't know exactly what the Indians would want for Asdrubal Cabrera because I'm horrible at fake trades, but there would have to be a fit somewhere between the A's and Indians, considering the needs and excess parts of both clubs.
You're laughing. I deserve that. But you would have laughed at Yoenis Cepedes going to the A's, too. They kind of relish being the mystery team.
Grudging prediction
Cardinals, two years, $25 million. That would mean there wasn't a lot of excitement about this Lohse cat, and that he'll get Jake Westbrook money for a shorter deal. Typing that out makes me doubt it, but then when I type out "R.A. Dickey money", it seems more reasonable again.

"Each one of the award recipients has proven its dedication to improving lives through quality care, and it is a privilege to honor them with this year's award," said Governor Mark Parkinson, President and CEO of AHCA/NCAL. "We congratulate Sterling Living Center on this achievement."
Implemented by AHCA/NCAL in 1996, the National Quality Award Program is centered on the core values and criteria of the Baldrige Performance Excellence Program. The program assists providers of long term and post-acute care services in achieving their performance excellence goals.
Fred Pitzel, administrator at Sterling Living Center, said he was very excited to learn the facility had received the award.
"It's a testament to the work that's been going on in the last year," he said, adding that the facility has added new staff and has worked to improve the quality of care.
The program has three levels: bronze, silver and gold. Facilities begin the quality improvement process at the bronze level, where they develop an organizational profile with essential performance elements such as vision and mission statements and an assessment of customers' expectations. Bronze applicants must demonstrate their ability to implement a performance improvement system. A team of trained examiners reviews each bronze application to determine if the facility has met the demands of the criteria. As a recipient of the Bronze -- Commitment to Quality award, Sterling Living Center may now move forward in developing approaches and achieving performance levels that meet the criteria required for the Silver -- Achievement in Quality award.
"The commitment these facilities have made to quality care does not stop with this benchmark award," said Chick Stepahin, chair, AHCA/NCAL National Quality Award Board of Overseers. "The journey to quality care requires dedication, and Sterling Living Center has risen to the challenge."
The awards are sponsored by AHCA/NCAL Associate Business Member My InnerView, a Web-based applied research and quality-management company that supports leaders across the entire assisted living, senior housing and skilled nursing profession with tools to measure, benchmark and improve performance. Sterling Living Center was one of a select group of facilities to receive the Bronze level award. The award was presented to Sterling Living Center during AHCA/NCAL's 63rd annual Convention and Exposition, Oct. 7-10, in Tampa, Fla.

Buddhists honor state's humanityBy Kevin OConnor
Staff Writer | June 04,2014Kevin OConnor / Staff Photo
Sakyong Mipham, leader of the worldwide Shambhala Buddhist lineage, speaks Tuesday with reporters outside the Vermont State House in Montpelier.MONTPELIER When Chögyam Trungpa fled the 1959 Chinese Communist takeover of his homeland of Tibet, he hiked nine months over the Himalayas before flying to India, then England and finally Vermont, where in 1970 he set up the first Tibetan Buddhist meditation center in the United States.
A generation later, his eldest son, Sakyong Mipham, has inherited a few things from his father. Hes one of the worlds highest and most respected incarnate lamas. Hes a spiritual master who is leader of the Shambhala lineage. And hes humble and grateful for the physical and spiritual foundation provided by the Green Mountains.
Thats just one reason why the Sakyong a Tibetan word meaning earth protector visited Gov. Peter Shumlin on Tuesday to award the state the first Friend of Shambhala Award.
This award honors the people and institutions of Vermont for their commitment to the inherent dignity and worth of the human being, the citation began.
Back when Chögyam Trungpa first settled in the state, he attracted a few dozen followers to an old dairy farm in the Northeast Kingdom town of Barnet, population 1,708. By the time he died in 1987 at age 48 staring into the eyes of his son, then 24 his flock had ballooned to what today totals 250 sanghas (or spiritual communities) in North and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia and New Zealand.
The Sakyong, now 51, is carrying on the tradition while casting it in a contemporary light. He plugs into the Internet to spread his message, be it through social media or YouTube. He also writes books such as his latest, The Shambhala Principle: Discovering Humanitys Hidden Treasure, which explores ways to improve the economy, education, health and Shifting Global Values one person at a time.
Im encouraging our community to be more socially engaged and responsible, he told reporters.
Thats why the Sakyong hosted an Imagining Peace Conference with Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel last year to combat street violence, as well as why he brought a delegation of 50 Vermont followers to Montpelier on Tuesday to present the award to the state.
Vermont offers a generous spirit of welcome to people from all walks of life and beliefs, the citation said. It fosters human community as a rich resource of care and connection, providing a safety net for all those in need including a livable wage and meaningful work, as well as quality, affordable and accessible patient-centered healthcare.
In an age when the protection of our environment is imperative, Vermont values and reveres the natural world and its precious inter-relationship with humanity, it continued. May these principles, cherished by the citizens, government and society of Vermont flourish for the benefit of all its people, and be an inspiration for other states and communities in the United States of America and beyond.
In accepting the award, Shumlin praised Chögyam Trungpa the man credited for seeding Tibetan Buddhism in this country long before the Dalai Lama became a household name for settling at the old farm that has morphed into Karmê Chöling, a 717-acre Shambhala (the word means source of happiness) meditation center.
It shows his wisdom, Shumlin said.
And the governor encouraged the Sakyong to return to the State House.
We can use you in January, said Shumlin, leaving references to the return of the Legislature unspoken yet understood.

Although Ms. Mora writes touchingly, from the heart, and her piece is contrite, I maintain strong doubts about whether Palo Alto requires a full-time human relations commission.
I would also question whether the conscience of our city contains heady amounts of guilt. What does Ms. Mora mean by that?

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (BP) -- A five-part apology for "injudicious comments" was released today (May 9) by Richard Land, president of the Southern Baptist Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, regarding the Trayvon Martin killing.
Land's apology stemmed from a May 2 meeting in which several key African American leaders were in attendance, including Fred Luter, pastor of Franklin Avenue Baptist Church in New Orleans; James Dixon Jr., president of the National African American Fellowship of the Southern Baptist Convention and senior pastor of El-Bethel Baptist Church in Fort Washington, Md.; and K. Marshall Williams, chairman of the Southern Baptist African American Advisory Council and pastor of Nazarene Baptist Church in Philadelphia, Pa.
"I am here today to offer my genuine and heartfelt apology for the harm my words of March 31, 2012, have caused to specific individuals, the cause of racial reconciliation, and the gospel of Jesus Christ," Land said in his two-page apology May 9.
As a result of the meeting May 2 that lasted nearly five hours, Land said, "I have come to understand in sharper relief how damaging my words were."
Among others at the May 2 meeting were Frank Page, president of the SBC Executive Committee, and Paige Patterson, president of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas. In all, 12 individuals attended the session at the SBC Building in Nashville, Tenn.
Dixon, contacted by Baptist Press, said he would have no comment on Land's apology until after ERLC trustees have completed the process initiated by their executive committee on April 18 regarding comments by Land on his weekly call-in radio show over the intrusion of politics into the Trayvon Martin case, in which Land referenced President Obama and the Revs. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson by name. The six-member executive committee, in a public statement, expressed sadness "that this controversy has erupted" and concern "about how these events may damage the work of the ERLC in support of Southern Baptists and in furtherance of the Kingdom of our Lord."
The ERLC executive committee also created an ad hoc committee to investigate allegations of plagiarism over material Land failed to attribute to a Washington Times columnist on the March 31 broadcast.
Steve Faith, ERLC trustee chairman, issued a statement later on May 9 that the ad hoc committee is working with due diligence and will bring a thorough and complete report to the ERLC Executive Committee who will prayerfully consider the findings. The ERLC Executive Committee will bring a report to the full board of trustees and then release a public statement by June 1.
It is important to understand that our Southern Baptist polity places Dr. Land under the authority of the ERLC trustees who are elected by and accountable directly to the Convention, said Faith, a retired pastor and Baptist association director of missions in Indiana. The trustees are aware of their responsibility to the Convention and to the watching world.
Land's full statement of apology May 9 follows:
"I am here today to offer my genuine and heartfelt apology for the harm my words of March 31, 2012, have caused to specific individuals, the cause of racial reconciliation, and the gospel of Jesus Christ. Through the ministry of The Reverend James Dixon, Jr. the president of the National African American Fellowship of the Southern Baptist Convention, and a group of brethren who met with me earlier this month, I have come to understand in sharper relief how damaging my words were.
"I admit that my comments were expressed in anger at what I thought was one injustice -- the tragic death of Trayvon Martin -- being followed by another injustice -- the media trial of George Zimmerman, without appeal to due judicial process and vigilante justice promulgated by the New Black Panthers. Like my brothers in the Lord, I want true justice to prevail and must await the revelation of the facts of the case in a court of law. Nevertheless, I was guilty of making injudicious comments.
"First, I want to confess my insensitivity to the Trayvon Martin family for my imbalanced characterization of their son which was based on news reports, not personal knowledge. My heart truly goes out to a family whose lives have been turned upside down by the shocking death of a beloved child. I can only imagine their sense of loss and deeply regret any way in which my language may have contributed to their pain.
"Second, I am here to confess that I impugned the motives of President Obama and the reverends Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. It was unchristian and unwise for me to have done so. God alone is the searcher of men's hearts. I cannot know what motivated them in their comments in this case. I have sent personal letters of apology to each of them asking for them to forgive me. I continue to pray for them regularly, and for our president daily.
"Third, I do not believe that crime statistics should in any way justify viewing a person of another race as a threat. I own my earlier words about statistics; and I regret that they may suggest that racial profiling is justifiable. I have been an outspoken opponent of profiling and was grief-stricken to learn that comments I had made were taken as a defense of what I believe is both unchristian and unconstitutional. I share the dream of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., that all men, women, boys, and girls would be judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin. Racial profiling is a heinous injustice. I should have been more careful in my choice of words.
"Fourth, I must clarify another poor choice of words. I most assuredly do not believe American racism is a 'myth' in the sense that it is imaginary or fictitious. It is all too real and all too insidious. My reference to myth in this case was to a story used to push a political agenda. Because I believe racism is such a grievous sin, I stand firmly against its politicization. Racial justice is a non-partisan ideal and should be embraced by both sides of the political aisle.
"Finally, I want to express my deep gratitude to Reverend Dixon and the other men who met with me recently for their Christ-like witness, brotherly kindness, and undaunting courage. We are brethren who have been knit together by the love of Jesus Christ and the passion to reach the world with the message of that love. I pledge to them -- and to all who are within the sound of my voice -- that I will continue to my dying breath to seek racial justice and that I will work harder than ever to be self-disciplined in my speech. I am grateful to them for holding me accountable.
"I am also delighted to announce that as a result of our meeting, the ERLC, in conjunction with the Southern Baptist Convention's Executive Committee, will initiate regular meetings to discuss our common calling to heal our nation's racial brokenness, work for meaningful reconciliation, and strategize for racial justice."
Attending the meeting in addition to Land, Luter, Dixon, Marshall, Page, Patterson and Faith were Dwight McKissick, pastor of Cornerstone Baptist Church in Arlington, Texas; Terry Turner, president of the Southern Baptists of Texas Convention and pastor of Mesquite Friendship Baptist Church in Mesquite; A.B. Vines Sr., senior pastor of New Seasons Church in Spring Valley, Calif., in the San Diego area; Craig Mitchell, chairman of Southwestern Seminary's ethics faculty and associate director of the seminary's Richard Land Center for Cultural Engagement; and C.

Shakespeare's "Midsummer Night's" Tale Highlights Triple Bill
Ballet West opens its 2009-10 season with Sir Frederick Ashton's "The Dream," a hilarious one-hour telling of Shakespeare's moon-lit masterpiece "A Midsummer Night's Dream," October 30, 31 and November 4-7 at the Capitol Theatre. Returning to Ballet West for the first time in more than 10 years, "The Dream" is one of three works on the season opener. The program also features the Ballet West premiere of Ben Stevenson's stunning, romantic pas de deux "Three Preludes" and Bruce Marks' beautiful dance poem about the pioneer settlers – "Songs of the Valley," performed to Aaron Copland's "Old American Songs for chorus and orchestra."
"The Dream" and "Three Preludes" will be accompanied by the Utah Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Ballet West Principal Conductor Terence Kern. For "Songs of the Valley," the Orchestra will be conducted by award-winning composer, pianist and entertainer Kurt Bestor, who has not conducted a Ballet West performance in nearly 20 years. Evening performances of "The Dream" begin at 7:30 p.m., October 30, 31 and November 4-7, with a matinee on November 7 at 2:00 p.m.
In conjunction with the performances of "The Dream," Ballet West is offering Warm Ups. These fun and informative discussions are free of charge to ticket holders and will begin promptly one hour prior to each performance. Get the inside scoop on the evening's program including background on the ballet, information on the choreographer and other interesting behind-the-scenes facts. At Warm Ups, members of the Ballet West artistic staff are available to answer any questions that the audience might have.
Tickets to "The Dream" are available now by calling Ballet West's Subscriber Services at (801) 869-6920 or online at www.balletwest.org. Single tickets are available through ArtTix by calling 355-ARTS (2787) or 1-888-451-2787, at www.arttix.org, or at the Capitol Theatre ticket office. Ticket prices range from $18 to $72.

In 1982 the Commodore 64 computer was introduced, Ronald Reagan survived being shot, the Falkland War started and ended, Michael Jackson released Thriller, Canada repatriated its Constitution, and the first compact disc was sold in Germany. And that's not all. Over the course of 1982, I blossomed from a naïve 14 year-old trying to fit in with the cool kids to something much more: A naïve, eyeliner-wearing 15 year-old trying to fit in with the cool kids.
So writes Jian Ghomeshi in this, his first book, 1982. It is a memoir told across ten intertwined stories of the songs and musical moments that changed his life. Obsessed with David Bowie ("I wanted to be Bowie," he recalls), the adolescent Ghomeshi embarks on a Nick Hornbyesque journey to make music the centre of his life. Acceptance meant being cool, and being cool meant being Bowie. And being Bowie meant pointy black boots, eyeliner, and hair gel. Add to that the essential all-black wardrobe and you have two very confused Iranian parents, busy themselves with gaining acceptance in Canada against the backdrop of the revolution in Iran.
It is a bittersweet, heartfelt book that recalls awkward moments such as Ghomeshi's performance as the "Ivory" in a school production of Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney's Ebony and Ivory; a stakeout where Rush was rehearsing for its world tour; and a memorable day at the Police picnic of 1982. Music is the jumping-off place for Ghomeshi to discuss young love, young heartache, conformity, and the nature of cool. At the same time, 1982 is an entertaining cultural history of a crazy era of glam, glitter, and gender-bending fads and fashions. And it is definitely the first rock memoir by a Persian-Canadian new waver.

n 1982, I lived in Thornhill. That was part of the problem.
Don't get me wrong. Life was quite reasonable in Thornhill.
At least, for most people it was. It was nice. It was straight.
It was normal. But David Bowie never chose to hang out in
Thornhill. And it wasn't just because he was too busy being an
inspirational androgynous musical genius rock star.
You see, in 1982, Bowie couldn't appear in Thornhill for more profound reasons than simple scheduling. It would have been impossible for Bowie to reside in Thornhill, even though he was white and English and financially secure, like many of its denizens. If Bowie were ever seen in Thornhill, and most especially if he'd fancied it, he wouldn't be Bowie. He would be a fake. He would be just another victim of homogeneity. And there would be headlines in trendy magazines calling him out. NME would do a front-page exposé: "Place Oddity: Thin White Duke Seen Hanging Out in Canadian Suburb! Bowie a Fake!"
But Bowie wasn't a fake. He was unique. He was Bowie. So he wouldn't be seen in Thornhill in 1982. He would never have fit in, for all the right reasons. And that's why Thornhill was a problem.
Let me be clear. I am not a Thornhill detractor. I was not a self-hating Thornhiller. I had many fine experiences growing up in the suburbs. I met my first real girlfriend, Dana Verner, in Grade 5 in Thornhill. We kissed. Twice. I think. Then she broke up with me. Years later, she told me she would've stayed with me had she known I'd one day meet John Cusack. I count that as a win. But anyway, Dana Verner was one of the most desirable girls in my Grade 5 class. And I would never have had the chance to kiss her if I'd not been in Thornhill.
Also, I once scored seven goals in a hockey game in Thornhill. Okay, maybe it was just road hockey. And maybe there were only six kids playing, and one of them, Little Charles, was wearing a cast on his arm and couldn't hold his stick properly. Little Charles had earned his name at Henderson Avenue Public School because he was small. And unrelated to that, he broke his...

We took in almost all the activities such as; Quest game show, Love and Marriage, Comedy, dancing and singing show. We went to the Howie and Bert on the edge show and they were a blast. Their comedy was better than the comic they had on board. We were blessed with having Matt Baker as the activities Director and he was great and very funny, we loved him!!. We also watched the pool side activities they had going on too.
We went to lunch at the Windjammer and they had very good food and a lot to choose from. We had Dinner at My Fair Lady for the 2nd seating. It worked out great to eat later in the evening so you didn't have to leave the pool so early to get ready for dinner. We had fabulous Waiters, Sergei Chorny and Gregory Vaz. I can't say enough about them, they were wonderful and very fascinating people to talk to. They did everything to please us and felt as thought they weren't doing enough.
We did an excursion at Jamaica. We did the plantation and Dunn's River Falls. The plantation was interesting but not what I expected. We loved the falls!! It is a sight to behold, very pretty. I would highly recommend this fall's tour. At Grand Cayman we spent all day at 7 mile beach, which is also very pretty.
Over all we loved everything about the ship,their service, and the people!! We are hoping to have the same waiters, activities director on our next trip.

Blasblog: Burberry Transcends Mere Trunk Show-------
Hey, we're in a recession here, people. So the idea of a trunk show where fancy ladies are magically drawn in by the allure of looking at next season's wares with a cocktail in hand isn't going to cut it nowadays. That's why Burberry has stepped up the trunk show game. Last night, the British house invited Kelly Klein to sign copies of her giant coffee-table tome, Horse, and had L.A.-based musician Nico Stai give a special performance in the third floor Prorsum section of the store. Joining Klein and Stai (both pictured here) were Amy Greenspon, Eleanor Ylvisaker, Fabiola Beracasa, and Genevieve Jones. Fellow musician Diego Garcia commented, "The voice and the face don't mix." (I think that was a compliment, meaning that the crooner's moody lyrics didn't match his friendly smile. I think.) Ann Dexter-Jones came for Klein. "The only thing I like more than horses is Kelly," she said with a smile. Meanwhile, Amy Sacco said her slipped disc meant that the closest she's getting to those big ole animals is the book itself. "This is the new shopping experience," mused Klein. "If only all shopping could happen in such an intimate environment with friends." Well, as we know, there's always another trunk show, but for more Stai, swing by Socialista tomorrow night. He and fellow Angeleno performer Rain Phoenix will be playing there from 9 pm.

Anyone heard of or tried out the sicgrips.com/Design.html g string climbing grips yet? they look like they would be a great addition for the home training gym.
IMO these are the best training grips out there. A lot of great thought went into these and it's very apparent when using them. Get them!
Thanks, I think I will
I'd get'em just to show'em off. They look like art compared to my fingerboard.
Those are awesome!!! I'm picking some of those up... Thanks for sharing dude!
If its a good product I want to know and I want other people to know about it so that they can make some money on innovative ideas that improve the way we train.
Have ordered them, they impressed me very much, looking forward receiving them. How long might it take to ship them to Switzerland?
Looks like a lot of sharp edges that would be hard on the tendons.
Looks like it could cam in a crack well, maybe about the size of a #6 Camalot? Sure looks lighter, too.
Nice to see the interest in our product. If anyone has questions, I'm happy to answer them, though it seems like users are already doing a good job of that! :-) Craig
Ordered some too after seeing this -- excited to check them out.
Those are cool. When folks start getting them please post a few videos. I am looking forward to seeing them in action. They are cool enough I might have to buy two sets. One for home and one for the gym at work;;
these definately look KICK-ASS and just ordered up a pair. Look forward to hanging around on them indoors this winter. Hope to get them before X-mas if possible.....7 days shipment if lucky?
Hi Peter, I've sent you an email with the USPS tracking information. My experience is that this time of year with international First Class shipping things can go really slow. Hopefully you'll get it within 6-10 working days however, things have taken as long as 3 weeks. :-( Unfortunately that is out of our hands. Hope it arrives in a timely fashion. Craig
Craig: I got my email with Priority mail confirmation early this AM. Great ! I bet they even get here by Friday this week! Will be crimping and pulling by Sat afternoon! Thanks for the speedy delivery service.
got to play around with these a bit in wv this past summer, very awesome product, verrry very well thought out, if i didnt already have a fingerboard i'd have bought a set.
Am I the only one who would rather not have his finger board move around? Seem dangerous to me.

Ever-Improving, But Losing the Right to Vote
On July 22, 2008 By JETLaw July 22, 2008
In today's society, most individuals believe that the right to vote is one of the most central and fundamental aspects of our democracy. The ability or inability of individuals to participate in the political process, in fact, presents the greatest strength or weakness of any democratic institution. In addition, since the eradication of literacy tests [...]Continue Reading →

Release Date: 2004 |
Album Rating: 4.5Whew. This one was a hard one to knock out, but let me know what you think
Album Rating: 4.0Good review once again man. Love this album. Sealed Chambers of Electricity has probably become my favorite Borknagar song.Digging: Engraved - Before The Tales
Digging: Engraved - Before The Tales
Album Rating: 4.5Thanks Hawks :D.
And yeah that is a great song. It's either that, Origin, or Quintessence that's my favorite Borknagar.
Album Rating: 4.5For this album at least.
The Olden Domain is so good
So is this epic?
blow it out yr ass
Album Rating: 3.0By 2004 and the release of Epic the band had the luck to acquire the unique vocal skills of Andreas HedlundThey actually added him to the band in 2001 for Empiricism (which is much better than this). These guys are ok, but they seem to be stuck in a rut starting with this album (and the acoustic/folk album only seems to prove it).
By 2004 and the release of Epic the band had the luck to acquire the unique vocal skills of Andreas Hedlund
Album Rating: 4.5Yeah, i knew they had him for the previous album as well. I guess it came off like that was their first album with him but i knew it wasn't. And idk, i still find these guys really good, although i will admit i wasn't a fan of Origin.
Album Rating: 3.0Yeah, that's the way it seemed to me when I read it. I think these guys can be really good, but I'm curious if they've ran out of ideas. The real test will be how good their upcoming album is.
Album Rating: 4.5I hope they find some ways to expand on their formula instead of just re-hashing it again and again, but as you said, we'll just have to wait and see.

Council defends climate change strategy claiming it will be free (From Harrow Times)

Harrow Borough Council defends climate change strategy claiming it will be free to implement
Updated 11:13am Wednesday 23rd January 2013 in News By Emma Innes
Harrow Borough Council has defended its proposed strategy for tackling climate change by saying that it will not cost anything to implement.
On Monday the council announced that it was holding a consultation on the strategy which lays out how it aims to support low carbon forms of transport, to ensure that flood risks are minimised and to ensure that council buildings and homes are energy efficient.
The announcement provoked concerns from some residents that the council was spending money on this while cutting what they see as vital services.
However, today the council has stated that implementing the strategy will not cost anything.
In fact, it claims that it could actually save money by making buildings more energy efficient.
The council is giving people until January 28 to give their views on the strategy.
Councillor Phillip O'Dell, Harrow Council's portfolio holder for environment and community safety, said: "I would encourage all of our residents to submit their views on our proposals.
"The council is committed to keeping our borough clean, green and safe.
"However the success of our plans depends on the whole community taking the threat of climate change seriously and, together, making the changes that are necessary."
To have your say on the proposals, visit www.harrow.gov.uk/consultations and click on 'climate change strategy consultation'.

Once again it's time for Farmers Day in Richlands, NC. This "hometown" festival has lots of family stuff to do. Arts and crafts vendors, kiddie rides, food, entertainment on the stage all day. The county museum is in Richlands and the director does a guided hayride through town and talks about the historic architecture and the history of the county--very interesting.
For us, the MAIN EVENT is the tractor show. All colors, especially Cubs are welcome to come and show. We have a parade of power in front of the stage (I believe it's at 2:30 this year) and there's a parade through town at 9AM. The sponsors charge a dollar per entry to be in the parade, it is free to show tractors--there's also no admission to attend the festival and the only $$ you really need is for whatever lemonade, hotdogs, and other "fair food" you want to buy, and any goodies you want to buy from the craft vendors.
The proceeds from this event benefit local FFA programs. This past year, the event sponsors gave one of my students a $1500 college scholarship, and paid half of the fee for our 9 FFA officers to attend state leadership conference.
PM me if you have questions. Come to eastern NC, spend Saturday at Farmers Day, and Sunday at the beach....

Get the digital magazine on your device!
FREE TRIAL – Limited time only
When Google first announced the Chromecast -- its
answer to Apple TV -- last July, the internet went wild for it. It
was cheap, compatible with iOS and Android, and offered really cool
mirroring capabilities. Eight months later, the Chromecast is
finally on sale in the UK, but a lot has happened in the world of
TV accessories in that time.
At £30 it's a heck of a lot cheaper than Apple's little black
puck and the top-of-the-range Roku boxes, but when it comes to
other products within its price band, it has a fight on its hands
to prove its relevance.
Full review
Sky's newly announced NOW TV set-top box is its latest bid to
hook non-subscribers into its services, and at only £10, it's
extremely good value.
The box offers access to Sky Movies and Sky Sports and basically
turns any telly with a HDMI port into a rudimentary smart TV. It
will primarily appeal to those who like the idea of being able to
get BBC iPlayer on their TVs, or those who want to be able to watch
Sky Sports without having to pay a full Sky subscription.
Everything you need to hook up the box is included. Bundled with
it is an HDMI cable, a power cord and even two batteries to slip
into the remote. To keep the box as simple as possible, Sky hasn't
chosen to include an ethernet port. This means you really need to
have a stable wireless internet connection to be able to set it
Unlike most things in the electronics industry, when it comes
to TVs, bigger is better. And they certainly don't come
much bigger than the LG 84LM960V, an 84-inch monster telly with an
eye-searingly "Ultra-HD" 4K pixel count of 3,840x2,160 -- but with
an eye-watering price tag to match.
It's on sale now for £22,500 (though you do get a stand, two
remotes and seven pairs of passive 3D glasses for that).
Last year US firm Roku brought out the Roku 2 XS, a
deceptively powerful little box of digital telly tricks allowing
you to watch a broad range of catch-up TV and streaming video for
just under £100. Now it's done it again for half the price.
It's on sale now for £50.
If there was one thing the Olympics has taught the
world, it's that when the British commit to doing something, they
do it properly. In the world of hi-fi, no one embodies that more
than Naim.
The latest product to emerge from the brand with
arguably the highest standards in the world is the Uniti 2. The
sequel to 2009's Uniti, it's designed to offer a no-compromise
audio experience in a single box.

Pittsburgh, PA: Vibrant Culture, Arts, Rivers and No Steelmills!
The city's geography includes many famous names of great capitalists of the nineteeth century -- Andrew Carnegie, Andrew Mellon, and Henry Clay Frick. Each of these men who made gobs of money in railroads, steel and industry later became famous for their philanthropy. Today in Pittsburgh, parks, museums and monuments abound with these names on them.
Patrick ticked off some of the famous people who once called Pittsburgh home. Gene Kelley, Martha Graham, Andy Warhol, Gertrude Stein, Earl "Fatha'' Hines, George Ferris (of the wheel) and five big-time NFL quarterbacks: Dan Marino, Joe Montana, Johnny Unitas and Jim Kelly.
Clearly, this is no longer a steel town, but an economy based on medicine and science and fed by fourteen colleges and universities nearby.
"Ït's hard for us to shake that 'steel town' reputation," said McArdle. "The US Steel coke works are 16 miles down river."
"When they were building the tennis courts, they kept finding that they couldn't keep them level. Then they dug them all up and found a mysterious black goo. It turned out that decades ago, this island was a burial ground for zoo animals. So it was old rhinocerous, elephant and zebra bones that were causing all of the bumps."
Last night we got a chance to see Pittsburgh from the Allegheny River aboard the Gateway Clipper. This huge party boat has four levels and is plenty big for hundreds of PR pros and tourism board people to mix with a handful of journalists while chugging up the river.
I heard more than a few people comment on this city. "The surprising thing for me is how nice it is here," said a woman from California. "I just never knew Pittsburgh was so pretty and had so much. "
Indeed, this meeting was a coup for the one-time steel city, where nobody has heated steel for more than 20 years. Still, it's hard to shake that reputation of dirty, noisy, old city.
Charles Veley Has Seen It All--and Wants to Go BackI met a man in Pittsburgh who's been everywhere. He's Charles Veley, the "most traveled person in America." This moniker is quite a feat, since so many of the people I hang around with have serious stamps in their passports. But Veley is the real deal, and his travels put him in a different league.
No, he doesn't go on press trips. I asked him how he does all of this world traveling, and he said he was once in the software business and made enough to support himself for a long while. Most of his long stretches, checking off country after country, came between 2000 and 2006, when he was virtually on the road non-stop. These days, he says, he has three little kids and only goes to places like Hawaii with them for vacation. He has traveled over 1,250,000 miles during the 6 years of this project.
What's the Worst Place You've Ever Been?
I asked him the two questions that inevitably, he must get asked everywhere. "What was the worst?" He didn't hesitate. "Lagos, Nigeria. That was the very worst. Piles of garbage taller than a man, people living jammed in under bridges, a city built for about half a million with 16 million inhabitants. "
A Stuffed Dodo and the Legend of Iroquois Ironworkers
I visited the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in the Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh, which is attached to an art museum. This museum complex is most famous for its collection of dinosaurs, including a massively long Diplodocus carnegie, named in the famous industrialist's honor, which resembles a brontosaurus but is even bigger. The museum was built in 1895, and holds the world's third-largest collection of dinosaur skeletons.
There's even a glass-walled laboratory where paleontologists work throughout the day dusting off specimens and using Dremel tools to polish and clean ancient artifacts.
Not only can you find dinosaurs here, but there are also collections of many other branches of natural history including gems, minerals, animals and insects and interesting dioramas of different cultures, like the eskimos and the American Indians.
One was a long hallway where thousands of stuffed birds are mounted in cases. There is one case that shows extinct birds, such as the passenger pigeon, the Dodo, and the tiny dusky sparrow, that perished as recently as 1934.
Each of these vanished birds was presented stuffed, though the Dodo was explained to be a replica, made up based on bones, since it expired in the 1800s. It was a big bird, almost two feet tall, and couldn't fly, hence it was an easy target for hungry men.
In this same hallway, that my guide told me was once a collection for hobbyists, was a seabird called a snipe. I photographed the bird for my friend Joe who used to have a family tradition -- the snipe hunt. It was made up but little kids thought that they would really bag one.
They built most of New York's skyscrapers, fearlessly running across eight inches or less of iron rail, and many of them died when they fell off. But one Mohawk was quoted as saying they never wanted to use the safety harnesses, since it impedes their movement up there fifty stories up on a windy rail.
Advice for the Solo Traveler: Take a Seat at the BarI have some advice for solo travelers. Visit a restaurant with a long bar and sit near a corner. Last night I took this advice and walked many blocks of the center city to find The Sonoma Grille, a large, airy place on Penn Avenue in the city's Golden Triangle and theater district. As is my custom, I found a seat at the bar and then after a while left to wash my hands. This place is owned by a chef named Yves who was born in Lyon. Sounds good.
When I returned, sitting right next to me was a young lady studying a menu. Like me, it was dinner for one. I began reading the local free newsweekly, The City Paper, as she looked over the long wine list.

Memphis Police Officer Anthony Morris was on routine patrol around 2 a.m. Friday, when a lady flagged him down around American Way and Cherry Road.
In the backseat of the lady's car was a woman in labor, according to Memphis police. The baby's head and shoulders were visible.
Officer Morris helped deliver the baby.
"Cause we were on our way to the emergency room and I felt the head myself first, and then I was like, 'we're not going to make it to the emergency room, get us to the ambulance, police station, get us somewhere!,'" the mother said. "I was like we're not going to make it there either, you have to pull over."
Baby Jhiremiah ignored traffic, taking the green light to arrive.
The baby came out not breathing, with the umbilical cord tied around the baby's neck.
"I was real emotional cause the first sound a mother wants to hear is the baby crying," the 46-year-old police officer said. "I just quite didn't hear that, felt him moving but I didn't quite hear him crying. I was really worried about that."
Officer Morris helped deliver Baby Jiremiah, then revived him. The fire department instructed the policeman over the phone to properly unwrap the umbilical cord.
"He helped me, stayed with me, till the ambulance got there," Officer Morris said. "Made sure the baby was okay and he did the best he could."
The dispatch firefighter also told Morris to rub the baby's back.
The baby was revived. Firefighters and emergency medical technicians arrived shortly after the delivery. The mother and the baby were taken to Methodist Le Bonheur Germantown Hospital.
Both baby and mother are doing well. Newborn Jhiremiah has been sleeping and trying to eat for most of the day. Mom says she's noticed he's pretty stubborn on his first day in this world.
For his heroic effort Officer Morris, who has been with MemPhis Police since 1994, has been nominated for the Lifesaving Award for his exemplary work.
Jhiremiah's mother says her six-pound baby made a dramatic labor, easier to deliver.
"I just want to thank him because I wasn't able to thank him, so I do want to thank him a lot and hopefully I get to actually meet him and tell him face to face," the mother said.
Mom is also thankful her best friend who helped deliver Baby Jhiremiah is also a biology major.
