Arizona Diamondbacks
Report: D-backs have interest in re-acquiring Max Scherzer
The Arizona Diamondbacks made Max Scherzer, a right-handed pitcher out of Missouri, their first-round pick (11th overall) in the 2006 MLB First-Year Player Draft.
Scherzer broke into the Big Leagues with the D-backs in 2008 and became a full-fledged member of the their rotation in 2009 when he went 9-11 with a 4.10 ERA in 30 starts.
Following the season, Scherzer was shipped off to Detroit in a three-way deal that brought right-handers Ian Kennedy and Edwin Jackson to the desert.
Four years later, Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports is reporting the Diamondbacks have interest in bringing Scherzer, the front-runner to win the American League Cy Young Award, back to Arizona.
Count the Diamondbacks among the clubs that plan to take a shot at Scherzer, according to major league sources. The D-backs � like another interested club, the Nationals � know that they could part with less for Scherzer, who is only one year away from free agency, than for Rays lefty David Price, who is under club control for two more years.
Scherzer, 29, went 21-3 with a 2.90 ERA for the AL Central champion Tigers in 2013. In his four-year stint in Detroit, he's posted a 64-30 record with a 3.62 ERA.
Rosenthal notes that any team that deals for Scherzer could extend him a qualifying offer, which would at least assure the club compensation should the pitcher sign elsewhere in free agency following the 2014 season.

Hmmm Jerry if your boat is really 1:20 scale and the real one really only had 131 tons displacement i`m getting a displacement of only 36 lbs.
The calculation was spot on for my Somers and also for the 1/64 scale Snake (as tested already floating at desing waterline) and i get pretty close (within 10%) of the numbers the SC&H page has as their sailing weight as compared to the real ships burthen. I hope thats not a problem with your further planning ... |
Nov 04, 2011, 10:36 AM | |
My idea is to set it up much like Constellation:
click for a large image The space between the ballast and the keel will get lose tubes over the threaded rods. The ballast CE will be lined up with the model CE and be about 80-90% of the weight needed to get her to the waterline - the rest will be lead "bean-bags" in the hull to trim her out. Canstellation's ballast torpedo is 49" long and weights 42 pounds. With 10 pounds of internal ballast, and all her gear, she still sat about 1" high in the water. Once I have a hull I can float - I'll find out exactly how much weight I need to get her to her waterline. I'll have a more accurate idea of how big the pipe needs to be and how far down I can get it. I'd like to have a 3 foot long 2" i.d. pipe hanging a foot below the waterline. I'd like to see what they have on that Pride II model pictured earlier in this thread. |
Nov 04, 2011, 10:48 AM | |
"Plan A is a 4" i.d. PVC pipe filled with lead bird shot and weighing between 40 and 50 pounds. I'm guessing it'll be between 18-24 inches long. The center of it will be about 8 or 9 inches below the waterline."
Jer, I was just thinking and wondering, with something that big in diameter and shaped like that under the boat, there might be a chance the boat stalls and heels more. The shape of the boat at the waterline is fast, where the shape of the ballast is slow, making the model sail like it has a sea anchor dragging on it's keel, possibly making the bow drive down or heel over more, since it has no where to go. You would also need to suspend the ballast to compensate for drag in the keel and keep it even with the waterline. On constellation, you have a smaller diameter tube on a larger, more bouyant model that is fit tight to the keel, which seems to work well. I just think those sharp lines in the bow of pride might be a problem. Have you considered a fin or another shape of keel, maybe flat bar type? Just a thought. |
Nov 04, 2011, 11:55 AM | |
I think a fin/bulb is probably the best best. You're right, she's more yacht than ship. "plan A" will, at the least, slow her down.
I honestly haven't given it much thought beyond making a hull right now. SC&H's Prince De Neufchatel uses the same flat bar lead ballast they use on their brig and Surprise - I'd like to go that route - but then I'm back to casting 40 or 50 pounds of lead. The 2" i.d. pipe shouldn't be too bad. I can heat the end and squeeze it into a blade instead of just capping it - that would streamline it a bit. I can fill the space between ballast and keel with a shaped fin instead of tubes. That would cut down on cavitation through there. I'm hoping it'll work out to not needing more than 30 pounds down there. |
Nov 04, 2011, 12:13 PM | |
We must have posted at the same time. Here is an old pic of that Pride @ model on display.

Sanding my Pride off
Sanded the hull, applied some more putty, and sanded again. The actual boat's transom wasn't as arched as shown in the plans, so I trimmed it down to where it ought to be.
She's pretty much done. Now to cover it with packing tape and lay glass cloth on it. I think I'm going to do it in two halves, using the side of the keel as a flange. I'll cut a new keel and the two halves can be epoxied to it. The inside will then get glass matting to strengthen and stiffen the hull. It'll be a while before that happens as I have to get some cloth and other supplies. |
Nov 05, 2011, 12:32 PM | |
My ships use pvc pipe for lead shot ballast. They all sail faster than scale speed; Aldebaran, topsail schooner, can make 50knots scale, for instance. A 4" pipe is bigger than I need for my ships, but if the bow and stern of the pipe are tapered, I see no problem with a sea-anchor effect. Afterall, nuc subs are faster underwater than on the surface, and they are cylindrical in cross-section, not flat or rectangular. Subs are much more tapered in the ends, particularly the stern, than my pvc pipes; I just use regular pvc pipe caps, with tapering of the joint itself, but no further taper of the ends. If I wanted to slow my ships to scale speeds, I'd need to *deploy* a sea-anchor :-)
A cylinder will have less wetted surface area than a plate of the same volume: 4"dia x 18" pipe => vol= 226 in^3, area (with flat ends)= 251 in^2 Same volume in a 18x1x12.5" plate (with flat ends)=511 in^2 |
Nov 05, 2011, 11:14 PM | |
Taped the form today. Here I go involving packing tape in another model, I think it's becoming a fetish or something.
I still have to get some glass cloth. Went to Hobby World to see what they had on hand and found the store empty with a 'for lease' sign in the window. Oh well, have to order some online. |
Nov 06, 2011, 12:06 PM | |
I ordered a couple of yards of cloth from DuckWorks - which means no glass hull this weekend. I will have enough to make a hull, plus throw a layer on the form if I decide to finish it as a hull. Duckworks doesn't gouge on shipping like so many places I checked into do - one wanted $12 to ship 2 square yards @ $5.00 a yard! The Duck also had 50" wide cloth instead of cut square yards.
As for the ballast. I'm going with a removable aluminum fin with a bulb of lead shot cast in epoxy that's about 15-20 pounds. The bulb will bolt onto the fin, so I can make different length fins if I need to. The balance of her ballast will be in the form of lead-shot bean bags in the hull that can be moved to trim her out. The bulb will hang about 8"-10" below the waterline. I've been looking at some big schooner models, RC and pond boats as big as, and this is pretty much the universal setup they use - why fix what ain't broke? |

Not sure if your response was serious or sarcasm...
Not sure if your response was serious or sarcasm. If you were serious, you seem to contradict the concepts of liberty and freedom. While your statement that this is a "graceless society" may or may not be true (everyone has an opinion), you also state that what "she did was wrong". That seems to be an opinion that doesn't coincide with trying to live in a free society with our remaining liberties intact.
Could the use of certain terms be offensive? Absolutely. But "wrong"? I don't think so. Everyone is responsible for what comes out of their mouths. Food Network has a right to fire someone for an image that they feel will negatively affect their ad revenue (even if the belief by many is that a culture dominated by absurd political correctness is what got her fired). Someone eating with their mouth open at the office may be offensive to many, but that isn't going to get you fired. Nonetheless, it can be offensive; however, it doesn't break PC rules, so the offender is safe.
Furthermore, why do the demographics of the decision-makers at the Food Network matter? And in a free and liberty-minded society, race issues shouldn't play a part...we should look at everyone without considering sex, race, etc. Of course, our society is collectivist at heart, which is why so many people care to classify and categorize.

"The Town of the Slavs and the Serbs" Slavyanoserbsk by hunterV
Slavyanoserbsk Travel Guide: 25 reviews and 103 photos
Slav Serbia Town - this is how the town's name would sound in English.
Slavyanoserbsk is located in the central part of Luhansk region about twenty miles to the northwest of Luhansk, three miles from the motorway that is called Bakhmoot Trail.
The town was founded in 1753 after the decree of Empress Elizabeth I, the daughter of Peter I, on inviting the Serb Hussars (cavalry troops) to settle on the right bank of the Seversky Donets to protect the southern border of the Russian Empire.
The Serbs founded two autonomous areas on the territory of Ukraine:
New Serbia in Central Ukraine
and Slav Serbia on the territory of the present Luhansk region. They founded several villages under the leadership of their general Ivan Shevich. Those were completely autonomous districts subjected directly to the Supreme Council in St.Petersburg.
This autonomous area was presented to the Serbs, Croatians and Montenegrins by Empress Elizabeth I for their military merits at the service to the Russian Empire. It was in a strategic area between three rivers: the Seversky Donets in the north, the Bakhmutka in the west and the Luhanka in the east and south.
The empress presented the new settlers with a special charter that granted them "eternal property" with the right of inheritance on that land, freed the new settlers from all taxes and guaranteed them high wages.
Slav Serbia had its own language, culture and habits. Later it became a county center. The area existed for a short period – from 1753 till 1764 when a new territory was formed – New Russia Province.
The town's coat-of-arms represents a Serb hussar helmet on a golden background in its upper part ( a symbol of the first settlers - Serb hussars) and two cannons in its lower part, which is a symbol of the iron foundry built in Luhansk later.
Slavyanoserbsk has held municipal rights since 1960.
The population of the town itself is about 7.5 thousand inhabitants. It is the smallest county center of Luhansk region.
The town is one of the off-the-beaten-path places of Luhansk region. No motorway or major railway runs through this town. This must be the only county center of Luhansk region that lies off the main roads.
Slavyanoserbsk is known for its cathedral that survived the ruthless Stalin era:
St.Stephen the Great Martyr's Cathedral. It received new domes, and there is still a lot of restoration work inside. Father Oleg, the cathedral dean, is doing a lot in this sphere. The cathedral parish celebrates their cathedral holiday on the third day of Christmas when St.Stephen's Day is observed.
The Local Lore Museum is another must-see in Slavyanoserbsk. The museum has several interesting exhibitions devoted to the nature and history of the county.

Another fantastic page about a small city in your region of the Ukraine. I really like the Soviet style mounuments.
Interesting to read the history of this corner of Ukraine, and also the origin of the word Hussar :-) And St.Stephen's Cathedral looks very impressive - good to know it is being restored!
Really enjoyed the culture tips. The memorials and museum was excellent. Lots of good "hidden photographs".
Great page on Slavyanoserbsk. SL :)
Lovely Slavyanoserbsk travel page with excellent photographs. The monuments, memorials, main square and lore museum certainly look wonderful and interesting to visit and explore. Thanks for sharing. ~ho & pang
Interesting page. I particularly liked the museum and St Stephen's Cathedral. Thanks for visiting my Hel page.
Never heard about the Serbs on the territory of Ukraine! The Brotherhood Monument is very touching especially nowadays, haha! Thank you Victor!
I love the Caucasian cuisine, so I think I would have no problem fitting in. Speaking of cuisine, I have yet to meet a dish of food that I haven't fallen in love with.
I just picked one of your many pages at random to have a read. Very interesting as usual Victor. Thank you
You make those remote towns so close to us, thanks!

Everybody's for recycling, right? So why are we all doing it wrong? Our reporter gets down and dirty to uncover 10 secrets that will finally make the recycling process make sense
Aquarius Calling, Humanity Rising
Aquarius (11th sign after Aries) is the sign of service—serving one another, building community. Aquarius is fixed air, stabilizing new ideas in the world. When new ideas reach the masses the ideas become ideals within the hearts and minds of humanity. Air signs (Gemini, Libra and Aquarius) are mental. They think, ponder, study, research, gather and distribute information. For air signs, education and learning, communicating, writing, being social, tending to money, participating in groups and creating sustainable communities are most important. One of the present messages Aquarius is putting forth to the New Group of World Servers is the creation of the New Education (thus thinking) for humanity—one based not on commodities (banking/corporate values) but on virtues. Humanity and Aquarius Aquarius is the sign of humanity itself. We are now at the beginnings of the Age of Aquarius, the Age of Humanity (rising). The "rising" is the Aquarian vision of equality, unity, the distribution and sharing of all resources and of individual (Leo) creative gifts for the purpose of humanity's (Aquarius) uplifting. This is the message in the Solar Festival of Aquarius (at the full moon) on Tuesday, Feb. 3. We join in these visions by reciting the World Prayer of Direction, the Great Invocation.Tuesday's solar festival follows Monday's Groundhog Day, or Imbolc (ancient Celtic fire festival) the halfway mark between winter solstice and spring Equinox). The New Group of World Servers (NGWS) during these two days are preparing for the upcoming Three Spring Solar Festivals: 1. Aries Resurrection/Easter Festival (April); 2. Taurus Buddha/Wesak Festival (May); and 3. Gemini's Festival of Humanity (June). Aquarius and the new and full moons together are the primary astrological influences behind all of humanity's endeavors. The NGWS are to teach these things, calling and uplifting humanity. Join us everyone. (301)

Hi: 10° Lo:-1°
Old Leamingtonians 18 Pinley 13
BUBBLING OLs finished their season in fine style by lifting the Warwickshire RFU Shield following a hard fought victory over Pinley in the final at Broadstreet RFC on Sunday.
OLs, who attempted to run the ball at every opportunity, went ahead after five minutes through captain Mark Foley who slotted over a long range penalty which was awarded for a high tackle on full back.
Pinley hit back and got their noses in front with a scruffy unconverted try which was quickly followed by a penalty.
OLs responded with the best try of the game just before half time. From well won ball by the forwards inside their own 10 metre line the speedy backs surged forward.
Ridler joined the line and outpaced several Pinley backs before drawing the full back and slipping an inside pass to winger Paul Salvin for an excellent score wide out.
Both sets of forwards cancelled each other out in the second half but OLs were rewarded as another fine threequarter move ended with winger Liam Wellings displaying his strength and speed to cross wide out .
Foley kicked a fine conversion from out on the touchline before adding a penalty to put OLs in control.
Pinley piled on the pressure in the final ten minutes but they were constantly frustrated by some superb OLs defence.
Pinley reduced the arrears with an unconverted pushoiver try but OLs defence held firm despite prop Nick Bingham being off the field for treatment following an apparent stamp on the head and second row Dan Careless being yellow carded for repeated offside.
It was an excellent display of committed rugby by the entire team which proved a fitting finale to a splendid season.
Previously, England prop Gareth Chilcott presented OLs 1st XV with the Team of the Year award in recognition of finishing third in Midlands Three West (South) at the club's annual dinner at The Crofts on Friday.

US 2129391 A Abstract available in Claims available in Description (OCR text may contain errors) Sepfiz. 6, W38. F. c. WAIPPLER 2,129,391 ENDOSCOPIC INSTRUMENT Filed April 9, 1956- Patented Sept. 6, 1938 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 5 Claims. My present invention relates generally to endoscopic instruments, and has particular reference to an improved assembly of elements to facilitate the manipulation of catheters, electrodes, and similar tools. It is a general object of my invention to provide an instrument whose employment permits an operator, with greatly enhanced facility, to accurately control the movements of an advancing catheter or similar tool under illuminated vision. One of the features of the invention lies in the provision, in combination with a telescope which commands a forwardly oblique field of vision, of a tool-guiding tube whose outlet end is positioned in front of the telescope objective but, nevertheless, alongside of the field of vision. The assembly is such that the telescope may be longitudinally shifted so as to advance its objective, or retract it, with respect to the outlet end of the tool-guiding tube. Preferably, the outlet end of the tube is positioned in the path of movement of the telescope so that it serves as an abutment for the telescope when the latter is advanced to its fullest extent. Another feature of the construction lies in the provision of at least one lamp, and preferably two lamps, closely adjacent to and alongside of the outlet end of the tool-guiding tube. In a preferred construction, two lamps are employed and they lie alongside of the outlet end on opposite sides of the latter, respectively. This po-- sitions the lamps in front of the telescope objective, but they are so arranged that they lie outside of the field of vision. A further feature lies in the provision of supporting tubes for the lamps, each tube being adapted to serve simultaneously as an irrigation conduit. The present improved instrument includes also a novel form of tool-advancing mechanism which permits the operator through the medium of a hand-wheel to accurately control the advancing and retracting movements of the tool. This feature of the invention is, from'certain aspects, an improvement which is independently useful with almost any kind of similar instrument by means of which a tool is intended to be longitudinally actuated: I achieve the foregoing objects, and such other objects as may hereinafter appear or be pointed out, in the manner illustratively exemplifiedin the accompanying drawing, wherein Figure 1 is a side view of an instrument em- .bodying the features of the present invention, the midportion of the. sheath being broken away for the sake of compactness in illustration; Figure 2 is a greatly enlarged view of the forward end of the instrument of Figure 1 taken from the top of Figure 1, i. into the fenestra; v Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view taken substantially along the line 33 of Figure 1; Figure 4 is an enlarged view of the forward portion of the instrument taken in the same direction as Figure 1, showing the telescope in its fully advanced position; Figure 4A is a depiction of the view that may be obtained through the telescope when the parts are in the relationship of Figure 4; Figure 5 is a view similar to Figure 4, showing the telescope in a retracted position, the sheath being in this view shown in crcss-sec tion; Figure 5A is a view similar to Figure 4A, depicting the view that may be obtained through the-telescope when the parts are arranged as in Figure 5; Figure 6 is a cross-sectional view taken substantially along the line 6-6 of Figure 1; and Figure 7 is an enlarged cross-sectional view taken substantially along the line 1-! of Figure 1. An el ngated, substantially circular sheath In is provi d at its rear end with the usual coupling sleeve and the locking ring l2. The operative elements of the instrument are arranged in the form of a bundle projecting forwardly-from a plug l3 which fits into the sleeve II in a removable manner. The plug carries petcocks It (only one is shown in Figure 1, but a similar petcock projects from a diametrically opposite point not visible in Figure 1), an electric connection terminal IS, a bracket 16, and a rearwardly extending bracket I1. At its rear e., looking directly end, the bracket l1 carries a sleeve-like member i8 which serves as a guide for the telescope tube IS. The bundle of elements, the forward ends of which are shown most clearly in Figure 2, consists of a tube 20, serving as a tool-guiding tube, a pair of tubular conduits 2|, a guide channel 22, and the telescope tube 19. These elements are arranged substantially as shown in Figure 3, each of the conduits 2| being arranged alongside of the tube 20 on opposite sides of the latter, respectively. The tube 20, the conduits 2|, and the guide channel 22 are rigidly secured together. The telescope tube I9 is slidably mounted within the channel 22. The forward end of the sheath I is provided w'th a substantially oblique fenestra 23, and the elements are adapted to be inserted into the sheath with the tool-guiding tube 20 arranged along the long wall of the sheath, the telescope l9 thereby positioning itself along the short wall of the sheath. The telescope contains within it suitable spaced lenses (not shown), transmittinga view, in wellknown manner, to a rear eyepiece 24. A short distance in front of the eyepiece 24 the tube I!) has the somewhat enlarged, non-circular portion 25 which is adapted to fit into a correspondingly shaped bore in the member l8. This association of parts permits the telescope Hi to be shifted longitudinally, ments of the telescope during this shifting. At its forward end the telescope has an eccentric objective lens 26, substantially of the character illustrated and described in United States Letters Patent No. 1,680,491, this lens serving to command a forwardly oblique field of vision. This field is substantially conical, as indicated by the dot-and-dash lines 21 of Figures 4 and 5, and it will be observed that the apex of the cone passes into the thicker portion of the lens 26. The term forwardly oblique", as it is used herein and in the appended claims, in referring to the field of vision of the telescope, is intended in each case to designate a substantially conical field of the character hereinbefore described. Mounted over the front of the objective 26, i. e., over the major portion of the lens but, nevertheless, alongside of the field of vision, is a visor element 28 having a substantially oblique forward surface; I The forward or outlet end 29 of the tube 20 is curved into a position in front of the objective 26, as shown most clearly in Figures 4 and 5, but this outlet end, nevertheless, is arranged alongside of the field of vision of the telescope. Accordingly, when a flexible tool, such as the electrode 30, emerges from the guide tube 20 it enters directly into the field of vision. When the telescope is advanced, as shown in Figure 4, the objective is almost on top of the tool 30, and the latter looms relatively large in the field of vision, as shown most clearly in Figure 4A. The advancing movement of the telescope is limited by the encounter of the visor element 28' with the outlet end 29 of the tube 20. Mounted on the forward end of each of the conduits 2! is a lamp socket 3| carrying a lamp 32. The arrangement of these lamps on opposite sides, respectively, the lamps lie in advance of the telescope objective, but well out of the field of vision. Thus, an efficient illumination of the field is effected without impairing visibility. The visor portion 28, while preferable, is not absolutely essential because in no event does the field of vision encompass the lamps within its scope. v The electrical connections for the lamps extend through the walls of the conduits 2i and communicate at the rear end with the electrical terminal l5. The rear ends of the conduits 2| communicate with the petcocks N, in wellknown manner, and near the forward ends, i. e., slightly behind the lamp sockets 3|, each of them is provided with an outlet opening. One of these openings is shown in Figure and designated by the reference numeral 33. In the preferred construction illustrated, the such as the ureter. and prevents rotational move-. - also to the usefulness of the of the outlet end 29 is shown most clearly in Figure 2. It will be observed that at 34, this rounded end serving to shield the lamps 32 and having at its midportion a groove or seat 35 within which the outlet end 29 accommodates itself when the instrument is in use. The advantages of the present instrument will be understood by those skilled in the art. The ability to advance the telescope close up to the emerging tool 30, as the latter enters the field of vision, greatly facilitates the ability of the operator to aim the tool accurately into a desired direction, e. g., against a predetermined spot area, or toward and into a constricted body channel, The fact that the operator may then, with great ease, withdraw the telescope rearwardly, e. g., into the position of Figure 5, makes it possible for the operator to obtain a better perspective of the entire surrounding area within which he is operating and into which he is directing the tool. This enlarged visibility will be obvious upon a comparison of Figures 4 and 5, and is also indicated in Figure 5A. The ability to keep the tool constantly visible, under illumination, and with the aid of irrigation, contributes device. The rear end of the tool-guiding tube 20 is slightly inclined, as shown in Figure 1, and I .have illustratively shown the rear end 34 of the tool 30, in the form of a handle. In front of this handle the shaft of the tool is preferably a little thicker than the main portion of the tool. In order to facilitate the control of the tool I provide on the bracket IS an elliptical element 40 of spring metal. Journaled in opposite portions of this element are the complementary rollers 36, arranged side-by-side and adapted to frictionally engage the tool 30 between their peripheral surfaces, as indicated most clearly in Figure '7. On the shaft 31 of one of the rollers I mount a pair of hand-wheels 38, and I provide intermeshing gear teeth 39 on the rollers, preferably as integral portions thereof. The element 40 is so bowed that it yieldably resists extension of the minor axis of the ellipse which it defines. Accordingly, the rollers 36 are constantly yieldably pressed together, the gear teeth 39 being of suflicient length to permit this yieldable movement of the rollers toward and away from each other. Accordingly, the tool 30 is frictionally engaged between the rollers, and by merely rotating either one of the hand-wheels 38 the operator is enabled in an accurately controllable manner to cause advancements and retractive movements of the tool. While I have illustratively shown the present instrument in association with a tool of the electrode type, nevertheless it will be understood that the invention is not restricted to any specific tool or mode of procedure or treatment. Accordingly, the term tool, as used, in the appended claims, is intended to refer generally to any flexible tool such as a catheter or the like. In general, it will be understood that changes in the details, herein described and illustrated for the purpose of explaining the nature of my a telescope having an objective which commands a forwardly oblique field of vision, a tool-guiding tube, a pair of irrigation conduits alongside of said tube on opposite sides of the latter, respectively, and a pair of lamps mounted on the forward ends of said conduits, respectively, and adjacent to the outlet end of said tube, said lamps and outlet end being positioned in front of the objective but alongside of the fleldof vision. 2. In an instrument of the character described, a device for advancing a flexible tool such as a catheter, comprising a fixed bracket, an element of spring metal carried by said bracket and bowed to form spaced portions yieldably resisting separation, a pair of complementary rollers journaled in said portions, respectively, and adapted to frictionally engage the toolbetween their peripheral surfaces, and a handwheel for rotating one of said rollers. 3.

Hochevar just wants the ball -- but he'd rather get it as a starter
FEB 04, 2014 3:02p ET
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Make no mistake: After several seasons of disappointment as a starter, Royals right-hander Luke Hochevar loved the way he was finally able to contribute to the team in 2013 out of the bullpen.
But Hochevar isn't ready to give up his first love -- being a starter.
"I had a fun year last year," he says. "The bullpen guys down there are a lot of fun. Everything is a lot more fun when you're winning."
Hochevar made the conversion to the 'pen with phenomenal ease. He went 5-2 with a 1.92 ERA and an amazing 0.825 WHIP.
And as the season wore on, manager Ned Yost began to trust Hochevar in increasingly high-leverage spots. Eventually, Hochevar took over as Yost's primary setup guy.
But Hochevar has his sights set on rejoining the rotation.
"We'll see what shakes out," he says. "I'll take the ball in whatever situation they want to put me in. I'll take the ball.
"But yeah, I like the rotation."
The road back to the rotation got a little tougher last week, though, when Yost said at the Royals FanFest that recently signed Bruce Chen had a starting spot virtually locked up.
That means Hochevar and a host of other candidates now will be competing for just one open spot behind James Shields, Jason Vargas, Jeremy Guthrie and Chen.
But Hochevar is confident he can win that battle for the final spot.
"I think I learned a lot in the bullpen," he says. "If I get back into the rotation, I'm not going to have the 'pace myself' mentality. I'm not going to hold back. I'm going to go as hard as I can for as long as I can."
That philosophy helped former Royal Zack Greinke turn his career around. In 2007, the Royals shifted Greinke to the bullpen, where he also learned to attack every hitter with everything he had. Greinke then returned to the rotation and became one of the top pitchers in the game.
"I don't think I can (match) the velocities I did coming out of the bullpen and do it for seven innings," Hochevar concedes. "We'll find out. But before when I was a starter, I would pick my spots. I think a lot of being a starter was to set guys up and not show pitches until you get deeper in the game.
"Last year, all I had to do was get three guys out. I was throwing a pitch to get that guy out right there. I wasn't worried about showing a pitch to a guy who might have two or three more at-bats (against me). I think I'll bring a new approach if I get back into the rotation."

Tonya Reaves was a healthy 24-year-old African-American woman. Sixteen weeks pregnant, she had an abortion performed on July 20, 2012 at Chicago's Planned Parenthood clinic on South Michigan Avenue. There were complications - and Reaves died on the operating table. Planned Parenthood has now paid out $2 million to Reaves' family.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - "Planned Parenthood is a billion dollar a year baby killing business," Day Gardner, president of the National Black Pro-Life Union, told CNSNews.com. "The money awarded to Tonya's son is a pittance in comparison to what they are worth - $2 million dollars is just a tiny drop in a bottomless bucket. The truly sad thing is that no one can put a dollar value on the life a human being - a life snuffed out way too soon."
Reaves' death, according to the autopsy report, was due to "hemorrhage resulting from cervical dilation and evacuation due to an intrauterine pregnancy."

The report shows that she suffered a 3/16 inch perforation of the uterus from forceps, which is a tool used during the D&E abortion procedure to dismember the fetus. She also had "extensive" perforation of her broad uterine ligament.
Reaves then bled for five and a half hours without medical treatment. Phone records proved that the Planned Parenthood location where Reaves received her abortion never called 911 on Reaves' behalf -- even after five and a half hours had elapsed.
A Fire Department ambulance arrived later that afternoon and transported Reaves to Northwestern Memorial Hospital. There, it took several hours for her to receive proper treatment. "Reports make it appear emergency personnel had to start from scratch to figure out the extent of Reaves' injuries," LifeNews reported.
Even worse, hospital reports that after Reaves arrived at the hospital, she had another D&E procedure or a second abortion but continued to experience problems and pain. Given an ultrasound, the hospital discovered her uterine perforation. Taken into surgery, an "uncontrollable bleed was discovered," hospital documents say.
Reaves' son, Alvin Jones III, was awarded a $2 million settlement in this case.
"Ms. Reaves' tragic death demonstrates the dire need for increased inspection and regulation of Illinois abortion clinics," Peter Breen, vice president and senior counsel for the Thomas More Society says. "Abortion clinics in this state are not held to the same standards as other outpatient surgical facilities, despite the fact that the average clinic performs hundreds of invasive surgeries each year."

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Text of report by Bosnian Serb state-owned daily Glas Srpske, on 25
[Report by Goran Maunaga: "DP, PDP, and SRS Cannot Agree on the
Candidates for the Position of Banja Luka Mayor - Ivanic Is in Favour of
Borenovic, Mihajlica Is With Cavic"]
Banja Luka - Dragan Cavic, chairman of the Democratic Party [DP], has
asked that Mladen Ivanic, chairman of the PDP [Party of Democratic
Progress], and Milanko Mihajlica, chairman of the SRS [Serb Radical
Party], support his candidacy for the position of mayor of Banja Luka at
the forthcoming local election and that the three parties form a
coalition for the election, but, according to a Glas Srpske source close
to the PDP, this is not likely to happen.
He emphasized that Ivanic was determined to put forward Branislav
Borenovic, one of his closest associates, for the position of mayor of
Banja Luka, while Mihajlica intended to support Cavic's candidacy.
While the chairmen of the opposition parties of the PDP, DP, and SRS are
calling on the SDS to join their camp to allegedly create a coalition
for the local election in October next year, it is evident that they
will not be able to agree on the candidates or to appear in the election
as a coalition.
The Banja Luka DP committee is "thin" personnel wise and membership
wise, and the party's leaders have been replaced on several occasions,
which is why it is unclear why Cavic harbours the illusion that he
should run, analysts say.
The first chairman of the Banja Luka DP was Vlado Topic, who was elected
to the position in 2009, but he withdrew. In October 2010, Branislav
Skobo, one of the founders of the DP, also left the party over
disagreement with Dragan Cavic. Skobo also withdrew from the position of
deputy chairman of the DP City Committee in Banja Luka and asked that
his name be stricken off the party register.
Late last year, Miloje Seksan was elected chairman of the city
organization [of the DP], after which the party's Banja Luka
organization began to fall apart.
Asked whether it was true that Dragan Cavic would be a candidate of the
DP, and perhaps also the PDP and the SRS, for the position of Banja Luka
mayor, Seksan said yesterday that the opposition should appear united in
the election.
"The candidates for the position of mayor of Banja Luka should be the
leaders of the parties that are appearing in Banja Luka," said Seksan,
refusing to reveal whether he had his leader in mind.
Asked whether that would mean that, for instance, Mihajlica could be a
candidate for mayor, Seksan said that was "too much combination work."
"I do not think that Mihajlica is the strongest personality in Banja
Luka, or that the SRS is the strongest party in the future coalition,"
Seksan said.
If Cavic, Ivanic, and Mihajlica remain in their present positions, it is
clear that the three parties will not appear in the local election in
Banja Luka as a coalition, which is realistic to expect because it is
clear that Ivanic will not give up on Borenovic's candidacy, as well as
that Cavic will not give up on his own candidacy.
Rajko Vasic, executive secretary of the SNSD [Alliance of Independent
Social Democrats], said that Cavic's potential candidacy was an
unrealistic story.
"Borenovic, as an opposition candidate, has been spent in the PDP -
Ivanic's acrobatics have completely disoriented him. He is not
convincing as anything, let alone as mayor of Banja Luka," said Vasic,
going on to emphasize that it was realistic to assume that the SDS will
not become part of the story.
"Those who are now in the opposition crowd have cheated and used the SDS
countless times. That story is over. Both Cavic and Ivanic have
defrauded the SDS. I expect that the SDS will not join them again and
that it will not take a trip to the town dump instead of attending a
wedding. Those are realistic assumptions," Vasic said.
Aleksandar Vranjes, professor at the Faculty of Political Science in
Banja Luka, said that, according to statistics, it was possible to
conclude that, in the potential PDP-DP-SRS coalition for next year's
local election, Cavic would be the most serious candidate in the
"When one considers the chances of Cavic becoming mayor, the statistics
of last year's election shows that the PDP-DP-SRS together won 15,872
votes in Banja Luka, while the SNSD won 40,162 votes in Banja Luka,
which is about 150 per cent more votes. Those are currently the only
indicators that lead us to believe that the SNSD continues to be the
favourite in Banja Luka," said Vranjes.
[Box] SDS
Vranjes says that there are several reasons for which the SDS will not
join the PDP-DP-SRS coalition at the local election in Banja Luka.
"First, the SDS is the second strongest party in the RS and it would be
illogical if it joined a coalition of smaller parties. On the other
hand, we should not neglect the previous bad experience in cooperation
with the PDP as well as the parting of ways with Dragan Cavic, so the
chances of the SDS joining the coalition are small. There is a greater
chance that we will see the SDS in a potentially reconstructed RS
Government than in the opposition," Vranjes said.

Canon's 20x Professional L-Series Fluorite lens for the XL2 is the equivalent, in 35mm format, of a 42.3 - 846mm lens when the camera is recording in 16:9 widescreen format. When the 20x Professional L-Series Fluorite lens for the XL2 is recording video in the TV-standard 4:3 aspect ratio, it is the equivalent, in 35mm format, of a 51.8 - 1036mm lens.
It is backward-compatible with the older XL1 and XL1S models. The chromatic aberration is reduced with the lens incorporating Fluorite elements for superior contrast, resolution as well as color fidelity. Featuring Canon's Super Range Optical Image Stabilization of the VAP (Vari-Angle Prism) type, there are 2 built-in Neutral Density filters, a Auto/Manual focus switch, plus a switch for selecting between a focus range pre-set or a zoom range pre-set.
This switch also serves as a Push-AF button. It includes a 72mm filter thread & 6-blade iris diaphragm. The 20x lens offers a fast f/1.6 to f/3.5 aperture for videographers that shoot under the most demanding lighting conditions. The 20x L IS is an autofocus lens using Free-Spinning Manual Focus & Zoom Rings on an unmarked barrel without stops. Although primarily intended for Handheld use, its extremely long 20x Zoom Range makes it very useful for Tripod-mounted Videography as well.

I really like the feel of these knobs. They are good heavy for their size and very attractive. My cabinet installers were very impressed with them.I would have rated them higher but one of them had a serious flaw in the finish. At that price it is still a deal and I did order extras just in case. I highly recommend you buy some extras of this good product.

Tikal's Prayer is an ancient incantation taught to Tikal by her grandmother. It is mostly used to enhance the power of the Master Emerald.
The servers are the seven Chaos. Chaos is power, power enriched by the heart. The heart is the controller. The controller serves to unify the chaos.
Throughout the Sonic Adventure games, the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series published by Archie Comics and the anime series Sonic X, there have been variations of Tikal's prayer.
Sonic Adventure 2
Knuckles used this after Shadow's fight against the Biolizard but, unlike the comic version, it was similar to the original lyrics:
Archie Comics
Tikal/Guardian Version
Tikal and the Guardians from the Brotherhood of Guardians uses the following version of the prayer:
Dr. Finitevus' Corrupted Version
Dr. Finetivus has his own version of Tikal's prayer that contributes to his corrupted usage of Chaos Energy.
Dark Mobius
Jani-Ca says this while wielding the Sword of Acorns to defeat (and ultimately become) Enerjak.
Sonic X
This is first used by Knuckles in the Shadow Saga arc of Sonic X and is further used throughout the third season.

Many cleaning products contaminate our water and air, and contain cancer-causing chemicals. If your family has a history of allergies, asthma, sinusitis, and bronchitis, it's especially important to reduce the use of chemical cleaners in the home. Green home products are safer to handle, reduce indoor air pollutants, and do not harm water supplies. The Citra Solv line of cleaners includes effective, green products. They contain no harmful chemicals, and even provide recipes on their labels for easy and inexpensive refills. You can make your own multipurpose cleaning products from white vinegar, baking soda, rubbing alcohol, and lemons to clean almost any area of your home.
