Think Eddie Van Halen invented finger tapping on the guitar? Think again.
Seven years before Eruption created a new school of shredders, Steve Hackett [then guitarist for prop-rock godfathers Genesis] set aside his pick and applied his index finger to the fretboard of his Les Paul – and he's not afraid to lay claim to conceiving of the technique.
"I'm the inventor of tapping on record," he says. "We haven't found anyone who tapped earlier than me, unless somebody did it in the 1930s, but I doubt it."
While Hackett admits that [Eddie] Van Halen and his followers popularized and expanded on finger tapping, his place as a wholly inventive guitarist, one who also helped introduce players to techniques such as sweep-picking, is assured.
Before we get into some of the new songs, let's address the matter of finger tapping. Eddie Van Halen does credit you as having done it first. Have the two of you ever talked about it?
"Eddie and I have never spoken about it, but yes, he has credited me with tapping. When you see old films of Genesis from 1971 on, you can see me using the technique. It's there on many recordings, as well. Eddie is a fine player, of course, and he's the one who named the technique. The important thing is that you play as fast as you'd like, but you do it all on one string – and you have to use a finger from your picking hand instead of the pick."
Between 1971 and 1978, the year Van Halen's first record came out, did you hear anybody else finger tapping?
"No, I'm not really aware of that, I must admit. All I know is that it became part of the language for heavy metal players, and it became one of the glossaries of terms that you can dip into if you're playing electric guitar. You can play it on a nylon-string guitar, of course, or acoustic steel, but it's really going to work best on an electric through an amp with some distortion."
So where did you get? How did you start doing it?
"Well, I'll tell you: I was trying to play a tiny phrase from Toccata and Fugue by Bach, and I was wondering how to do it, because you couldn't really do it across the strings. I figured that if I could do it on one string, then I'd be using the fretboard like a keyboard. There's a couple of techniques I took from Bach, like sweep-picking, which is akin to a violinist rocking the bow across the strings.
"I did it one day, the tapping, but I thought it was a little unwieldy at first because I couldn't play it in time. But then I could play it in time, and I started doing it live with Genesis. This was back in 1971, an awfully long time ago. It enabled me to be the fastest gun in the west for about five minutes, until somebody else came along and did it in a whole new way.
"It's a little bit like Bruce Lee's technique for martial arts: just like he did things so fast that the camera couldn't pick them all up, with tapping, the microphone can't pick up all the notes – it's a blur of music."
What did you think when Eddie burst on the scene with tapping – and when everybody started copying him? Did you say, "Hey, that's mine! I invented that"?
"No, I'm not protective of any techniques. I've learned from every guitarist that I've watched. Everybody plays slightly differently; everybody has been my guitar teacher. I guess I've shown a few moves to some people. A guitar can sound like anything – a harp, even."
The title track of the new album features a very striking guitar solo. Do you plot your solos out, or do you prefer to improvise?
"I would say they're refined improvisation. Sometimes I'll have phrases ready – I'll work them out on a nylon-stringed guitar. I do a lot of things on paper; I tend to write things down. When you're holding an electric guitar and you want to be spontaneous, that's the time to do it. The beauty is, you can always go back and correct what you play if you don't like something."
The song Tall Ships has a pretty jazzy feel. For something like that, do you use a different guitar than the Fernandes?
"No, it's the same guitar. The Fernandes is quite versatile. It's like having an onboard E-Bow, something that'll make the strings sustain. That song is a bit like a piece of trance music."
Has there been any new talk of a Genesis reunion, one involving you?
"I've been working on a version of Genesis material that I'm going to take live with some guests. I've always said that I'd be up for a reunion if anyone wanted to do it. They approached me some years back, but it seemed to be far too complicated. As far as I'm concerned, with some of the guys from Genesis saying they're going to retire, I feel that nobody should hold his breath, although I won't be the reason it won't happen."
*Reblog from Music Radar: Article by Joe Bosso
No it's not an official album either.
It's a live concert [June 23, 2012 Orion Music + More - Bader Field, Atlantic City, NJ] where they revisited and played their "Ride the Lightning" masterpiece in it's entirety. Yes folks, you read that correct. Never say never.
For those who did not get to attend the show live, watch the You Tube clips later or even knew about the LiveMetallica.com download site – I'm officially declaring this as historic | EPIC or monumental [laughs].
To set the record straight, they sandwiched other songs before and after the actual run through of the RTL LP…which is cool. But I will leave those out for sake of clarity in this special post. And believe it or not Lars actually played pretty good during this show, which really surprised me.

Yet another example of how the terms: "rock on" | "rockstar" or the "horns up" gesture continue to invade mainstream culture.
I ran across this cutesy [sic] logo on the internet. It's a site that posts pet pics, so I am not promoting it; something triggered in me upon encountering. You know, one of those ah-ha moments or sign-of-the-times-slap-you-in-the-face moments [laughs].
Allegedly, what started out way back in Italy (and some Mediterranean cultures, when confronted with unfortunate events, or simply when these events are mentioned) the sign of the horns may be given to ward off bad luck.
It is also used traditionally to counter or ward off the "evil-eye" (malocchio).
Most peeps came to recognize this gesture from seeing Metal icons Ronnie James DIO [R.I.P.], Ozzy Osbourne and maybe Gene Simmons [or so he claims] using it repeatedly onstage over the years.
According to Ronnie, he didn't invent the "horns" hand gesture, he just popularized it.
"I was in Sabbath at the time. It was a symbol that I thought was reflective of what that band was supposed to be all about. It's NOT the devil's sign like we're here with the devil. It's an Italian thing I got from my Grandmother." Dio said in a 2001 interview.
"It's to ward off the Evil Eye or to give the Evil Eye, depending on which way you do it. It's just a symbol but it had magical incantations and attitudes to it and I felt it worked very well with Sabbath. So I became very noted for it and then everybody else started to pick up on it and away it went. But I would never say I take credit for being the first to do it."
*As time passed, the "horns" came to symbolize not only Sabbath but heavy metal music in general and rock fans the world over adopted it as a sort of not-so-secret handshake.
"The Age of Irony" dawned in the early to mid-eighties and among the "progressive" set, flashing the "horns" became the visual equivalent to yelling "Freebird" at a concert. Let's Active fans had found a way to simultaneously make fun of the heshers that beat them up in high school while appearing deliciously droll to their bolo-tied brethren.
By the time a new generation of kids came on the scene, only jaded slackers would flash the two-fingered salute in an eye-rolling attempt to elicit knowing snickers from the rest of the coffee-house. Then came NuMetal.
Rap/Rock Mooks all across America had learned from their cousins, stepdads, uncles and cellmates that the horns meant something having to do with Hard Feckin' Rawk. It was a way for a guy to scream "Woooooooo!" without uttering a sound. The horns enjoyed a brief renaissance until the already painfully derivative genre that nurtured the comeback began to feed on itself and suck even harder.
Today, the horns are merely another imagined accoutrement of the "band guy" like his eyeliner or backwards baseball cap. In photos, it is imperative the band guy flash the horns to identify himself as someone who "rocks". The irony lies in the fact that 98% of the people who flash the horns to signify that they rock, in fact, do not.
When the RRC [Rock and Roll Confidential] website launched quietly, we adopted as our symbol a stylized version of "The Horns": a modification of the classic Windows "pointing hand". We felt it represented music and computers, which is where the Internet lives. It also represented one of the few times we actually came up with something clever.
However, during the revamp of the site, we began to have doubts about our trusty sidekick. There were just too many pictures of douchebag band guys flashing the horns. People were flashing the horns at MTV Beach Parties and N*Sync concerts. NuMetalers flashed it when they weren't giving the finger. The whole thing had become a huge cliché, and it seemed like a good time to put it to bed.
So, on one hand, our little logo [above] is a neat way of saying "Hey look, it's Rock and Roll on the web…or something." On the other hand, thanks to douchebags like the ones that reside in our Halls of Douchebags, it's become a played-out joke like dookie chains and Jackson guitars.
In the world of band photography, only one totem approaches the ubiquity of the brick wall: The "Horns". We've all seen it thousands of times. It's the hand gesture, index and pinky fingers outstretched, meant to symbolize rock and roll, world-weary ennui and sarcasm or simply partying down.
In closing, rawk on, all you [wannabee] rockstars out there.
Horn's Up!
*Quote from RRC
Should this [essentially] harmless, iconic gesture be put to bed or is it too late in 2014?
"Woe to you, oh earth and sea
For the Devil sends the beast with wrath
Because he knows the time is short
Let him who hath understanding
Reckon the number of the beast
For it is a human number
Its number is six hundred and sixty-six"
A beautiful and utterly mesmerizing view of everyday objects.
In a security-obsessed age, this work is subtly subversive, as it uses advanced technology to discover inner beauty rather than concealed dangers.
Using security scanners and x-ray machines, Nick Veasey creates beautiful, unsettling, inside-out images that reveal—like never before—the intricacy of everyday objects, animals, and plants. Whether the spectacle of an x-rayed Boeing 777, the elaborate geometry of an mp3 player's circuit boards, or the ethereal grace of a translucent daffodil, each page of this book is an absorbing work of art.
Nick Veasey is a self-taught, award-winning photographer who works with clients from all over the word. His x-ray photography has been commissioned by many of the world's leading companies and his work featured in Time magazine, The New York Times, New York Daily News, Daily Mail, The Guardian, The Sydney Morning Herald and Die Zeit.
Veasey captures the x-ray images on film in a lead-lined studio. (He works on the outside of the studio when the machines are operating.) He wears lead underpants. Once the x-ray has been exposed, it is scanned at ultra-high resolution, using special equipment tailored for the process. These digital images are then composed and embellished on a computer. The whole process can take weeks or even months—but the results speak for themselves.
*Check out the book (from which the awesome pic above originates from)…and no it doesn't contain Revelations or Iron Maiden lyrics [laughs]!

Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep, with congratulations to Bill Iffrig, who ran the Boston Marathon at age 78. He was approaching the finish line when he saw the explosions. Video footage shows him tumbling down. Mr. Iffrig saw scrambled images, smoke in the air, maybe a fragment of what he thought was a bomb, but he stood up and walked the last few feet to the end. He told the Herald of Everett, Washington: When you've run 26 miles, you're not going to stop there.

Discipleship ForumOctober 6-7 2014
The Discipleship Forum will happen alongside Exponential West this Fall in Los Angeles, CA. Jeff Vanderstelt will be speaking at both events.
What's the vision for the event? "Join us for a real life discussion on discipleship in a unique learning environment and format. We are in a season of renewed interest in discipleship. Leaders are hungry for resources and insights for their churches to become more effective at discipleship. Are we, as leaders, modeling the kind of discipleship for we want our people to practice? The first place to look in improving our church's discipleship systems is inside ourselves to candidly assess and consider how our own disciple-making practices need to change. Attendees will have a front row seat to an intimate conversation among six national leaders and friends as they talk candidly about discipleship in their own lives and seek to learn from one another. In a casual, face to face environment, one of our leaders will start by making a brief and pointed presentation on a key discipleship topic and then the other five leaders will spend the balance of time in conversation and dialogue about that topic. All six speakers will be on stage together in a living room type environment, dialoguing with one another."
Consider joining us and thousands of others seeking to understand how to love and serve Jesus by making disciples that make disciples.

I've been taking everyone's comments and feedback to heart, and have made a few changes. First, I darkened the mountains as Steel General suggested, by playing with the lighting and contrast. After doing so, I noticed some issues with the terrain color layer that weren't as obvious with lighter mountains, so I touched up that layer with the smudge tool and a Gaussian blur. I also made the ice layer a little more transparent, in order for the peaks of snow-covered mountains to show through a little more clearly.
Next, I played around with various filters, trying to achieve a subtle foresty texture as Gidde suggested. I eventually went with two layers, one with a watercolor effect and the other with a sponge-painting effect. I think I like this, but I need to sleep on it and get a few opinions before I decide for sure about this style. Forests make up a huge portion of the western half of the continent, so I think it's important to get it right. I have noticed a few issues where the forest texture layer shows up in areas beyond the forest color...I'll have to clean that up if I decide to keep the texture.
I'm also thinking of adding a few more features...things like ruins, fortresses, wonders of the world...still thinking about how to do it. I don't want to clutter things too much. So that's something to look forward to. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

You might have noticed recently that I've been posting quite a lot of ranty text posts about things I've seen around this website, usually to do with values like feminism and sexism etc. It kind of worried me how often I felt the need to write these things and that has a lot to do with why this is probably the last post I ever make on this website.
I don't think I'll be able to explain it fully because I'll just keep coming back to it to add something I've forgotten, but the basic gist of it is that I find this website so dangerous and it's starting to genuinely scare me. The amount of posts I see from people who think they're not good enough and make jokes about their flaws (most of which shouldn't be joked about in the first place) isn't half as bad as the amount of notes these posts get. Thousands of thousands of people who are okay with being unhappy all the time just because they think they're part of some special club on tumblr full of people just like them. I might not have worded that right, but anyway.
Going back to the feminism/sexism thing, I've noticed that a lot of the people on here who claim to be 'feminists' actually don't know the meaning of the word, and make countless jokes about how the male gender is inferior and make us feel generally awful about ourselves. I must've unfollowed about ten people just for reblogging that sort of thing.
I also hate the fact that, just like on Facebook with likes, people bully other people for having different opinions by reblogging/liking posts about them. A lot of the people on here need to look at what they're doing before complaining about it happening to themselves.
This post is getting harder and harder to write because I keep remembering loads of different reasons why I fucking hate tumblr these days. At the start it was really fun and a good pastime but now it's crossed the line and I end up needing to fish through all the self harm and depression jokes in order to find stuff that's actually what I want to see. What I signed up in the first place to see. I haven't actually posted in over a week to see how it went, to see whether I desperately missed it or felt the need to come back sooner, and to be honest I didn't even notice it wasn't there most of the time. I actually watched a whole season of a TV show in three days, something I've never done before (maybe except in summer 2012), so maybe that's down to not being distracted by this.
My reasoning behind this massive text post is that I can't ignore the fact that this website has been a part of my life over the last three years or so, and I feel like I need to explain myself properly, even if no one even reads this. Just for my own reference really.
The long and short of it is, I feel like this website is dangerous for people who are gullible enough. And unfortunately a lot of the people here fit that description perfectly. I'd encourage anyone just to take a week off for themselves and see how much better they feel, because to be honest even the in last fifteen minutes I couldn't wait to get away from here again.
I'm gonna keep my blog open because I might come back to have a flick through every now and then. There's nothing I didn't reblog that I wasn't proud to have on there, so I can't see a reason why not. I'm gonna log out for good now. It felt good writing this. I do exist elsewhere too, mainly with the same username, so say hello or something!
people without passwords on their phones are the strongest and most terrifying people you will ever meet

Pastors & City Transformation
- Thursday, January 25, 2007
Editor's Note: Recently, the National Pastor's Prayer Network interviewed Jim Tomberlain of Catalyst, a network of church leaders seeking to impact their region.
NPPN: Jim, you've recently moved from leading/serving on a pastoral team to leading a collaborative effort among a variety of congregations and ministries - What drew you to this position?
JT: As a senior pastor of an emerging mega-church in Colorado Springs in the 90's, I came to believe that God had given me influence in the community that should be used beyond the walls of my congregation. I came to understand that God had given me gifts of leadership with an entrepreneurial bent that could be used to mobilize the Body of Christ for church growth and community transformation on a regional level. I saw the impact of working with other churches to serve our community together and the positive effect it had on my own congregation and on me as a leader. It was a win-win situation. We were doing good things together in the community and that was also good for our congregations.
I am convinced that if the Body of Christ in a local community can come together in unity and mobilize around its common redemptive mission, it could become an irresistible force for good that could revolutionize an entire region. When I came to Chicagoland to pioneer the multi-site church strategy for Willow Creek Community Church, I worked on forging networks of church leaders across Chicagoland to serve and impact the region together. Catalyst is one of those networks.
NPPN: Explain the vision of Catalyst. . .
JT: The vision of Catalyst is to mobilize the Body of Christ for a spiritual revolution in Lake County, Illinois. We believe that when the Church is revived and the lost are spiritually awakened in Christ community transformation takes place. Acts 2 provides our biblical model for a unified Church working together for a spiritual revolution that results in community transformation.
At Catalyst we believe we have been called to renew the hearts of God's people, reposition the Church for revival, restore the reputation of Christ in our community, and reconcile people to God in our region. Our desire is to be a "catalyst" for renewal and spiritual awakening all across Chicagoland—mobilizing tools, resources, and events and most of all the body of Christ to help bring a spiritual revolution to our region, beginning with Lake County.
NPPN: Describe the difference in perspective; how does a congregational leader think differently than a county-wide leader?
JT: Congregational leaders tend to focus primarily on their local church. County-wide leaders think about their congregations in context of the larger Church—the Body of Christ in their region They see the Church the way God sees the Church—One Church, many congregations. County-wide leaders see themselves as part of the larger Body of Christ and value the unique contributions of other local congregations, ministries and organizations in the community to the greater Kingdom effort.
NPPN: What does "One Church, Many Congregations" mean and, maybe more importantly, what are the implications of this principle for local church leaders?
JT: Throughout the New Testament, the Church is described in terms of cities—the church of Jerusalem, Antioch, Corinth, Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, Laodicea, etc You get the idea that when God looks down on a region, He doesn't see individual churches---He sees One Church, His Family meeting in multiple congregations across a geographical area.

Governor Patrick in Lowell in February.
There is some very good job growth news in the employment figures released today by the Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development.
In February, Massachusetts gained 15,400 new sector jobs and the unemployment rate sank to 8.2%. That's another month of big gains in the Massachusetts job market and more evidence that the Massachusetts economy is on the up and up. The sectors leading job growth – education, health care, IT – are the innovation industries and growth areas that we have been working so hard to promote and advance.
Other data released by the federal government today indicate that 2,482 less Massachusetts residents filed new unemployment claims in the first week of March – the largest weekly drop in the nation.

Revitol Scar Cream is a natural method for removing unsightly scars all over your body. It has been proven to be highly effective on acne scars, surgery scars, burn scars and many other unwelcome scars on your skin. As the unsightly scars begin to fade away, new skin growth replaces it, feeling softer and smoother.
Does It Work on Any Scar?
Scarring is a natural part of any type of wound, cut or puncture. It is a natural result of the healing process of skin, and appears because the fibers cross-link themselves to seal the tissue areas that have been damaged. As a scar begins to form, the tissue takes on an unusual look, and becomes more prominent and noticeable for many months, and even several years after the wound has completely healed.
Revitol Scar Cream was formulated for the specific purpose of removing scars from the arms, legs, face and anywhere else on the body. It is widely recommended as the best scar cream available today without a prescription. It works well regardless how long the scar has been there, or how large it is.
How Does Revitol Scar Cream Really Work?
Formulated with Hydroquinone, Dimethylaminoethanol, Copper Peptide, and Retinol, Revitol Scar Removal Cream has the active ingredients needed to repair and lighten the damaged skin cells that appear on the surface of scars. The natural ingredients can effectively sink deep into the dermis and epidermis layers of the skin, and has been reported to have absolutely no side effects whatsoever.
Hydroquinone is the component that is central to removing, or diminishing scars. It has the ability to lighten the darker skin cells and reduce the prominence of age-related blemishes including wrinkles, age spots and fine lines. Dimethylaminoethanol plays a crucial role in controlling any premature development of marks and blemishes due to age-related conditions. It has also been shown to be extremely helpful in the promotion and development of healthy skin.
Retinol is derived from vitamin A, and will naturally penetrate deep into the lower layers of skin. It has the components necessary to produce healthier skin by supporting elastin and collagen production. Copper Peptide is essential to the skin's inherit regeneration process, and acts as an antioxidant to promote the development of a healthier growing skin.
Its Many Advantages
There are numerous benefits that are achieved by using Revitol Scar Cream on a regular basis, including its ability to work on all skin types, colors, tones and textures of scars. It works well on both new scars and old scars. This amazing cream can diminish or remove scars that have been caused by mole removal, injuries, surgeries, burns, acne and keloids. It begins working within the first two months of applying it every day. For optimal results, it is suggested that you use Revitol cream for at least three months.
Revitol Scar Cream Reviews:
"This cream has made my scar smaller and evened out my skin tone." – Jan Ames, Amazon.com
"I have used it for about one month and 50% of my acne scar has gone." – Josie, Amazon.com
With its ability to diminish, or eliminate unsightly scars, Revitol is highly recommended for both men and women. It is suggested to order it directly from the company's official website for the best price and optimal customer service.

Finally we've reached the group of outfielders who will hope to have their name called when it's time to reveal who will go home with a Gold Glove at their respect position.
Now once again, if this is your first time coming across my Gold Glove articles, please click here and continue to click where it tells you to as it will lead you to all the articles in order from the most recent.
So we're going to start from left field and make our way to right field. Makes sense to just do it that way, right?
Carlos Gonzalez, Colorado Rockies – Car-Go is hands down one of my favorite players in the league right now. There's something about his follow through that just amazes me for some reason. Anyways, Car-Go is coming off back to back to back to back 20+ home run and 70+ RBI seasons after just hitting 18 home runs and 55 RBI's in his first two seasons. What a pick up this guy was from the Oakland Athletics, am I right? Alright, now this season his fielding has slightly improved from last season's percentage wise. He fielded .984 percent with 186 put outs, 11 assists and three errors through 106 starts. He won back in 2010 and last season.
Starling Marte, Pittsburgh Pirates – A rising star on this Pittsburgh Pirates playoff team who played his first full season this year. The 25 year old Dominican outfielder fielded .968 percent with 176 put outs, five assists and six errors in 124 games played at left field. He got a couple games in at center field. This young man has come through with some clutch hits this year for the Bucs as they reached the playoffs for the first time in over 20 years. He's going to be exciting to watch.
Eric Young, Jr., Colorado Rockies – Former teammate of Carlos Gonzalez, Eric Young was moved from the Colorado Rockies to the New York Mets. Which wasn't that bad of a decision, because he's closer to home now. You can never go wrong with that. Anyways, Young split some time majority of his playing time in left, clocking in a total of 88 games at this position. He fielded .989 percent with 176 put outs, seven assists and two errors. Doesn't have that much power in his bat, but can provide a team with some solid defense across the outfield. Stick him anywhere, he'll chase down that ball and record an out for you.
Andrew McCutchen, Pittsburgh Pirates – The man who graced the cover of MLB 13 The Show is a big reason why this Pirates team is as successful as they are now. Of course this man can do it all, he's got the power, the speed and the fielding ability you need to have a solid corner-stone outfielder and that's exactly what he is. This guy is the building block for this organization and they need to continue to build around him. McCutchen slugged 21 home runs this season while driving in 84 RBI's. A defending Gold Glove winner from last season, fielded .982 this season with 321 put outs, 11 assists, six errors and three double plays. He's a favorite to win this, but has some stiff competition this year.
Carlos Gomez, Milwaukee Brewers- This kid is an absolute freak. I'm a Chicago Cubs fan, but watching this kid play is always entertaining. The soon to be 28 year old center fielder had a break out year offensively as he hit 24 home runs and plated 73 runs. Gomez held down center field nicely for the Brewers this year, as he put out 391 batters, 12 assists, was charged with five errors but turned two double plays with a .988 fielding percentage.
Denard Span, Washington Nationals – This Washington Nationals team looked like they were in great shape to win the World Series last season, but fell short. This year the team fell short in the division and failed to reach the post-season. Denard Span, who was brought in from Minnesota provided this team with some excellent defense. In 145 games started, he has a perfect fielding percentage of 1.000 with 379 put outs, five assists, no errors and one double play. I think this man is the favorite to walk away with this years Gold Glove.
Jason Heyward, Atlanta Braves – The man who homered in his first Major League at bat, in the opening game a couple of seasons ago off Carlos Zambrano and my Chicago Cubs. I have to admit the guy is talented, but this season he looked somewhat different before and after missing some games. Regardless, he's still one of the best young outfielders of this decade and will become one of the best right fielders of all time. This year he played both center field and right field and put up perfect fielding percentages across the board. He had 173 put outs, three assists in left field without being charged with an error.
Gerardo Parra, Arizona Diamondbacks – A 26 year old left handed hitter for this Arizona Diamondbacks team who looked solid for most of this season but let the division slip away. Parra got some playing time all over the outfield, spending 33 games in center field, six in left but 123 in right. He put up a .989 fielding percentage in right field with 256 put outs, 15 assists, three errors and one double play. Great numbers, but right now Heyward's perfect 1.000 is overshadowing his performance this year.
Jay Bruce, Cincinnati Reds – This is one guy who I wish was on the Chicago Cubs. Ever since he entered this league back in 2008 with the Reds, he's been nothing but a headache to opposing pitchers and batters across the league. He's hit over 20+ home runs and 50+ RBI's in each of his six seasons and he's only 26 years old. In his first year with the Reds, he was swapped back and forth between left, center and right field. But he's been playing nothing but right field for the last five seasons and has made the best of it. This year he's improved his fielding percentage from last years (.981) as he put up an excellent .991 with 330 put outs, 13 assists, three errors and three double plays. Not sure if he did enough to take the Gold Glove away from Heyward, but you never know.

text: Not having been to Gothic before, I have a few questions: Is the site RV friendly? (I saw something about power & water available, but that doesn't always mean the same thing, & there was the "all vehicles out by 9am" clause). Is there a particular area that Loch / Coastal / whoever usually camps, that I should look for? Is the War Chest similar to Three Kings? (Donate an item - any item - and then they're divvied out to the winning side) For that matter, what are the sides? Sorry, but I haven't paid close attention to the event announcements in past years, & I can't find details on the web site.

RIP Darrell K Royal. The Eyes of Texas will always be upon you.
RIP and Hook 'Em
Texas 37 - Iowa State 14
Texas spent a lot of time chasing Steele Jantz around the field, but they won this game pretty decisively.
Prior to the SEC vote, a Texas House Higher Education committee hearing had been scheduled to discuss conference realignment. After the SEC vote, that hearing was postponed. In the Higher Ed meeting today, which was scheduled to discuss other issues, the chairman brought up A&M letter, but their was no broader discussion. Not sure what this means, if anything. It could mean that the Big 12 has another school lined up to join, and thus there is no threat to Baylor or Tech of the conference crumbling. We'll know at some point.
From the press release:
COLLEGE STATION, Texas – Texas A&M University today officially notified the Big 12 Conference that the institution will submit an application to join another athletic conference. Should this application be accepted, Texas A&M will end its membership in the Big 12 Conference effective June 30, 2012.
"After much thought and consideration, and pursuant to the action of the (Texas A&M University System) Board of Regents authorizing me to take action related to Texas A&M University's athletic conference alignment, I have determined it is in the best interest of Texas A&M to make application to join another athletic conference," President R. Bowen Loftin wrote to Big 12 Commissioner Dan Beebe in the letter dated August 31, 2011.
"We appreciate the Big 12's willingness to engage in a dialogue to end our relationship through a mutually agreeable settlement," Loftin added. "We, too, desire that this process be as amicable and prompt as possible and result in a resolution of all outstanding issues, including mutual waivers by Texas A&M and the conference on behalf of all the remaining members."
The Board of Regents at Texas A&M met today and gave President Loftin the OK to look at options for leaving Big 12 (Source). Baylor issued a study, conducted by Baylor alum Ray Perryman, on the fiscal impact of Texas A&M leaving the Big 12 (Source). And the Higher Ed committee meeting which was scheduled for tomorrow has been postponed (Source). The conference remains intact for now, but things are still shaky.
Texas A&M may be out the door (there are varying reports and rumors), but there is one stakeholder who hasn't had their say as of yet, but they will be meeting on Tuesday (August 16th) to discuss this issue. That stakeholder is the Texas Legislature, and the Higher Education committee will meet to discuss college athletics - according to the hearing notice. The Texas Legislature played a large role in the development of the Big 12 (and thanks to some powerful alums, Baylor was included in the conference), and since Texas A&M is a public institution, the Texas Legislature will have a role to play in the dissolution, or continuance, of the conference. If the committee meeting is broadcast online, you will be able to find it here (you will need RealPlayer).
With EA Sports coming to Austin, they've introduced this video showing Gov. Rick Perry as quarterback for Texas A&M (his alma mater).
Texas A&M's Board of Regents will meet on Thursday, and in addition to their regular business, they will be discussing the Longhorn Network. According to the source, this is for informational purposes, but they're not ignoring the potential impact of the Longhorn Network on the long term health of the Big 12.

Walking leads to health improvements: Report
A recent survey commissioned by Stepathlon, a company engaged in promoting corporate wellness globally, on 8,911 urban professionals over the past year has revealed that more than 40 per cent of the participants have shown remarkable health improvements after regular walking.
In line with global health authorities, Stepathlon recommended walking a minimum of 10,000 steps per day, roughly corresponding to 6.4 kms.
The worldwide survey - conducted by market research agency IMRB - reported a significant rise in energy and fitness levels, reduction in stress and body weight and improved sleeping among participants.
All participants were part of Stepathlon's 100-day race around a virtual world which aims at promoting wellness through walking. The initiative involved as many as 30,897 'Stepathletes' from 210 companies, spread across 434 cities, and 34 countries.
The survey found that 28 percent of Stepathletes availed less sick leave, 34 percent reported increased productivity and 34 percent experienced increased engagement at their workplace.
Notably, in 2013 alone, as much as 18 percent of Stepathletes quit smoking and another 30 percent decreased cigarette usage.
Stepathlon CEO Ravi Krishnan said, "Stepathletes walked 105% more than they did prior to the start of Stepathlon. I am particularly pleased that 19 % of Stepathletes who smoked before Stepathlon, quit."
"Urban lifestyles, technology, time constraints and numerous other factors have led to people sinking into sedentary lifestyles," said Avirup Datta, VP, IMRB One Mumbai.
"Our survey findings clearly indicate that by regularizing the habit of walking, which has been effectively achieved by Stepathlon, has led to an increase in the fitness levels of 28% of the participants, lowered the stress levels of 27% and increased energy levels in 22%," he said.
From India, leading corporate entities such as the Mahindra Group, Tata Group, Godrej Group, Aditya Birla Financial Services Group, HDFC Bank, Idea Cellular, Deutsche Bank, YES Bank and HDFC Ltd competed for the title of 'Most Active Company'
To further inspire participants, Stepathlon launched the second edition of its calendar for the year 2014. The calendar features celebrities such as Dino Morea, Rahul Bose and Lisa Haydon in a series of candid photographs while engaging in different forms of exercise.
"The idea of the Stepathlon Calendar was conceived to inspire Stepathletes, their families and friends to become and remain active throughout the year", explained Ravi.
"We endeavour to encourage as many people as we can reach to proactively embark on the path of wellness," he said.
"Effecting lasting change takes a great deal of conviction and motivation. What is truly impressive is that Stepathlon appears to have found success not only in effectively engaging professionals to embrace wellness but also in keeping them motivated every day of the year through this inspiring calendar," commented Ajay Srinivasan, CEO, ABFSG
"What drew me to participate is that the calendar reflects the ethos of Stepathlon. Every person featured in it has been committed to health and wellness initiatives, both directly and indirectly, for several years," added actor-director and former International rugby union player Rahul Bose.

It was only a matter of time before Mike Ross hit his limited glass ceiling as a lawyer. Pretending to be a graduate of Harvard Law School can only get one so far, even if you are as talented as Mike. The past few episodes of USA's Suits presented a Mike ready for a change in his life. He finally agreed to move in with longtime girlfriend Rachel at the start of the season. Now Mike will have to decide if he is ready for even more change.
Last week's episode ended with him receiving an offer to become an investment banker. It would be a job where advancement wouldn't be hindered by his law school lies. While this job offer is very intriguing for Mike, it would be a shock if he were to accept it. Suits is nothing with the relationship of Harvey and Mike. They are the Batman and Robin of the corporate legal world. A more likely outcome is Harvey figures out a way to clear up Mike's law school lie.
The promo for tonight's episode is all about the choice Mike will have to make. Will Harvey let him go? Check out the clip below.
Here's the synopsis of tonight's episode, titled Know When to Fold 'Em, from USA.
An attorney goes after one of Harvey's biggest clients; Mike must make a decision; a former partner has an ax to grind.

In another move to solidify the Astros' future, they wasted no time in signing outfielder, lefty-batter Derek Fisher — a top, nationally-renowned prospect yesterday.
Fisher was the Astros' second pick of the MLB Draft and was selected 37th overall.
He is also fresh off contributing to a strong postseason run — he had 12 RBIs — with the University of Virginia who were a runner-up to Vanderbilt University in the College World Series.
Fisher had longed for a such a run and was finally able to realize a childhood dream.
"It was everything that I wanted and more," Fisher told the Houston Chronicle's Evan Drellich at yesterday's press conference. "Going to Omaha was something I dreamed about as a kid."
Fisher, 20, batted .260 with 46 hits, 29 RBIs as well as going 5-for-8 on stolen bases in 44 games of action this past season for the Cavaliers. His season was quite abbreviated of sorts after suffering a broken hamate bone in his right hand 15 games into the season.
He did return with six weeks to go and didn't seem to miss a beat and even knocked out a couple of home runs.
But his previous two seasons were better because he was relatively healthy, was batting close to .300, with about 60 hits each season, RBIs around 50 each, with nearly double the stolen bases.
But this isn't the first time Fisher has been down this road before.
Fisher was drafted by the Texas Rangers three years ago but turned down a lucrative contract to play for Virginia.
Fast forward to three years later, he now feels he is prepared for what's ahead of him. Here's what he tweeted yesterday evening thanking the Astros:
Today was truly a blessing. I am ready for this new chapter in my life and I can't thank the @astros enough for giving me the opportunity!
— Derek Fisher (@DeFish23) July 2, 2014
As far as his characteristics, it has been said that his strong points are his hitting, power, speed but he lacks a strong arm and a sense of urgency when playing defense. He possesses qualities that are best suited to bat in the middle of a lineup.
Those are things he will work on as he moves up the ranks in the Astros' farm system.
Fisher is expected to start his career with the Single-A Short Season Tri-City Valley Cats and is projected to play left field.
Here's a Scouting Video of Fisher demonstrating the power of his bat to help you get more acclimated if not already:
This is another prospect I look forward to going through the ranks of the Astros' farm system. It will be interesting to see what type of player he will be in couple of years after full development.
I'll keep a close eye — this guy could be a steal!

Toilet Humor
This is a hilarious song about a dog and his turd. All this little turd wants is to be loved, but the poor little guy is just too stinky!
Poop, there it is!
Nancy Sinatra's boots were made for walkin', but this little baby's buns were made for wipin'. She made a mess in her diaper, so mommy, don't leave her in her poo! "Are you ready, Mom? Start Wipin'!"
You gotta fight for your right to potty!
This dance is an absolute gas!
When you gotta do what you gotta do, just drop your pants and sit down on it!
Professor fartsmore gives us a lesson in fartology 101!
Proof that everyone does it!
A song sung by a lonely turd floating around in the toilet bowl. He's cold, wet and so alone -- come and hear his sad story.
Apparently helium is not the only gas that is lighter than air.
A funny symphony in the tune of farts!
A super silly song about a crazy hampster having the runs!
Poop, poop and more poop! This parody of The Police song "Every breath you take" is about what lil' Pooey Poo's days are all about. The first in a series of parodies that outline the innocent rivalry between an infant and his older sister.
There are so many ways to fart, but have you ever farted like THIS?!
Peeing in the shower--how is it wrong when it feels so right? It's a morning delight for this long haired, one-toothed redneck. You might think pissing in the stall is gross, but this hillbilly assures you if you try it once, you'll know.
He's a man with the runs and he can't find an empty toilet!
Didn't have any big news to dump on ya... So here's a little CRAP! Watch as this dancing turd performs the cancan. We dare you not to laugh!
In this song parody, a sweet young housewife sings "Skid marks ain't sexy, they really turn me off." Was it an extra juicy fart that caused these brown stains or is her man pooping in the dark? We may never know, but his tighty whitey underwear have the brown smudgy lines that never fail to nauseate.
Here's one explanation for why dinosaurs became EX-STINK!
He's the man of constipation. You'll need a gasmask if you want to pay this guy a visit!

What to Do When Your Celebrity Client Flips Out on Social Media
In the wake of another celebrity social media meltdown this week, the question "where is his publicist?" has appeared from commenters in almost every article on the topic. Let me start by stating this is not a gossip column, nor an attempt to cover content outside of social media. Twitter, as well as any other form of social media is vital for celebrities and brands. Chris Brown is not the first of either to make a public mistake online, as the photo gallery below will attest.

With the Stanley Cup playoffs nearly over many teams are focusing on what's next. For some, that involves hiring a new coach to lead their team into the future.
This past season, a lot of NHL teams let their coaches go. It began with Kevin Dineen, followed closely by Peter Horachek in South Florida. Moving into the offseason, Ron Wilson, Kirk Muller, Barry Trotz, Adam Oates, John Tortorella and most recently Dan Bylsma found themselves jobless. And while one, Trotz, has already been snatched up there's still plenty of remaining vacancies.
Who belongs where? That's something I'm going to attempt to figure out.

Hot, dry weather contributing to uneven corn emergence
Corn growers finding marginal stands in their corn fields might be seeing the effects of record rainfall in 2011, a mild winter in 2012 and continued hot, dry weather - all of which potentially are contributing to problems with corn emergence.
Multiple northern Ohio cornfields have had fair to poor stands, according to Steve Prochaska, an Ohio State University Extension educator in north-central Ohio, and member of the university's Agronomic Crops Team. Stands in those fields ranged from 14,000 to greater than 28,000 plants per acre, he said, noting that the losses are variable and are likely related to the record rainfall last year, combined with the mild winter and early, hot spring the region has experienced in recent months.
"Surface crusting and soil compaction were evident in the fields, as well as soil compaction zone about 2 to 4 inches from the surface," Prochaska said. "Likewise, corn seminal roots of emerged plants were observed growing laterally along the top of the compaction zone. This may have been exacerbated by the early planting some growers did in the first week of April.
"Corn has been slow to emerge. In some cases it has taken as long as three weeks, and was exposed to the wet weather conditions."
The problem is that the hot, dry weather has created some of the soil crusting conditions that makes it hard for emerging corn to get out of the ground, said Peter Thomison, an OSU Extension agronomist. The heat is also causing uneven growth and even some mortality.
"It's a big topic among growers," Thomison said. "The hot dry weather has had a significant effect, not only in Ohio but in other states including Iowa and Illinois, where poor root development has caused floppy corn where corn has fallen over."
Prochaska said other possible factors contributing to corn stand loss include:
- Limited rotations without wheat or forage and in some cases multiple-year soybeans now followed by corn.
- Organic matter of soils in some areas of the fields was less than 2 percent with a corresponding low cation exchange capacity, or CEC, which may be more prone to crusting and compaction.
- Use of pop-up fertilizer applied on corn seed at planting.
- Herbicide injury. Products containing cell growth inhibitors may, under certain environmental conditions, injure corn seedlings.
- Insect injury from a number of insects including wireworms, seed corn maggots and grubs. All have the ability to reduce plant stands.

Just another attempt to drive up prices. Everyone crying wolf at the same time is getting very old. 1 pct profit is better then 40 pct loss so take the 1 pct like the rraises that big bussiness is giving their employees while taking in 20 40 pct profits .

The world has been engulfed in the complex story of New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez, the murder investigation at his house, a rental car in his name and an apparent incident where he shot another man in the head which he'll have to deal with in a court of law soon.
Things just got a lot crazier.
New reports coming out allege that Hernandez was in fact the driver of the vehicle in question. Reports say Hernandez and three others took the car out.
Only three, Hernandez included, returned.
The reports come from Ted Daniel of Fox 25 in Boston via Twitter. Check them out for yourself:
LAW SOURCE: Aaron Hernandez was driver of a vehicle Odin LLoyd and 2 others in. Lloyd found dead one mile from Hernandez home.

LAW SOURCE: 4 men together in vehicle. Only 3 return to Aaron Hernandez's home. Odin Lloyd NOT one of them. #fox25
— Ted Daniel (@TedDanielFOX25) June 20, 2013
LAW SOURCE: Forensic evidence places vehicle "driven by" Aaron Hernandez at "crime scene". Don't know what scene that is.
— Ted Daniel (@TedDanielFOX25) June 20, 2013
Hernandez remains in his 1.3 million dollar home tonight. His mom came today from CT. Law firm repping him had no comment. #fox25

Any way you slice this things are not looking good for Hernandez. He's deeply involved in this one way or another regardless of whether he committed any wrongdoing. More details report the murder was drug related, this time from Pete Thamel of Sports Illustrated:
Aaron Hernandez stuff. No muy bueno RT @SIPeteThamel: Fox 25 reports the murder is "drug related, specifically marijuana."
— Will Brinson (@WillBrinson) June 20, 2013
It's hard to tell how this is all going to come together sooner rather than later, but it appears the police are compiling a large amount of evidence that will allow them to quickly take action in the next week or so, if not the next few days.
Stay tuned to the Spin Zone. We'll keep you posted.

Dahlgren demonstrates electromagnetic rail gun

New VIDEO released: Click here to see the gun test-fired
Normally, new weaponry tends to make defense more expensive. But the Navy likes to say its new railgun delivers the punch of a missile at bullet prices.
A demonstration of the futuristic and comparatively inexpensive weapon yesterday at the Naval Surface Warfare Center at Dahlgren had Navy brass smiling.
The weapon, which was successfully tested in October at the King George County base, fires nonexplosive projectiles at incredible speeds, using electricity rather than gun powder.
The technology could increase the striking range of U.S. Navy ships more than tenfold by the year 2020.
"It's pretty amazing capability, and it went off without a hitch," said Capt. Joseph McGettigan, commander of NSWC Dahlgren Division.
"The biggest thing is it's real--not just something on the drawing board," he said.
The railgun works by sending electric current along parallel rails, creating an electromagnetic force so powerful it can fire a projectile at tremendous speed.
Because the gun uses electricity and not gunpowder to fire projectiles, it's safer, eliminating the possibility of explosions on ships and vehicles equipped with it.
Instead, a powerful pulse generator is used.
The prototype fired at Dahlgren is only an 8-megajoule electromagnetic device, but the one to be used on Navy ships will generate a massive 64 megajoules. Current Navy guns generate about 9 megajoules of muzzle energy.
The railgun's 200 to 250 nautical-mile range will allow Navy ships to strike deep in enemy territory while staying out of reach of hostile forces.
Rear Adm. William E. "Bill" Landay, chief of Naval Research, said Navy railgun progress from the drawing board to reality has been rapid.
"A year ago, this was [just] a good idea we all wanted to pursue," he said.
Elizabeth D'Andrea of the Office of Naval Research said a 32-megajoule lab gun will be delivered to Dahlgren in June.
Charles Garnett, project director, called the projectile fired by the railgun "a supersonic bullet," and the weapon itself is "a very simple device."
