High-SchoolBaseball: Jeremy Martinez
Martinez heads Class of 2013 backstops
April, 20, 2012
By Jason A. Churchill | ESPN.com
Andrew Craft/ESPNHSMater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.) junior catcher Jeremy Martinez celebrates the Monarchs' win over Harvard-Westlake in the championship of the inaugural USA Baseball H.S. Invitational.Each week from now until the end of April, we'll take a look at the elite Class of 2013 baseball prospects by ranking the Top 5 players at each position. This week, we continue with the Top 5 catchers led by Jeremy Martinez of Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.). Martinez batted .388 with 32 RBIs as a sophomore and led Mater Dei to the USA Baseball National High School Invitational this season.
1. Jeremy Martinez, Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.)
Martinez receives above-average or better grades across the board. He excels on defense, where he possesses a plus arm, good feet and a good understanding of the position. He also shows plus makeup and leadership skills. He's already a draft prospect without talking about his bat and work ethic. Martinez can hit and there's some present power upon which to build. He's headed to USC should he pass on pro ball, but the phone could ring early on Day 1 come June. 2013.
2. Chris Okey, Eustis (Fla.)
Okey is a workout warrior and looks the part of a big-league backstop. He's athletic and has solid defensive tools, including good footwork and an above-average throwing arm. Okey is also very impressive at the plate, using his strong hands, wrists and forearms to generate good bat speed. His approach is sound and there are very few mechanical flaws in his swing. He's a Clemson commit, but he has a shot to play his way into first-day discussion with a strong senior year.
3. Nick Ciuffo, Lexington (S.C.)
Ciuffo has a solid left-handed swing that generates good power and searing line drives. The rest of his game is polished and he shows good makeup and feel. He committed to the Gamecocks prior to his freshman season, which lends an idea how long he's been on the radar. He's as good a present prep backstop there is, including the two players ranked ahead of him.
4. Arden Pabst, Harvard-Westlake (Studio City, Calif.)
Pabst can hit and there's at least gap power in the bat to complement his defensive work. He's a solid athlete, too, and has proven he can handle good velocity, suggesting he has the hands to stick at the position long term. He's chosen Georgia Tech for college ball, and they certainly have a way with catchers, having produced Jason Varitek and Matt Wieters.
5. Zach Collins, American Heritage (Plantation, Fla.)
Collins' calling card is plus raw power — the best among the top prep catchers in the country — which goes well with his advanced approach and good feel for catching. At 6-foot-5 and 220 pounds, there's a good chance Collins has to move from behind the dish. If he can stay conditioned and focused, however, he could join Wieters as a 6-foot-5 catchers in Major League Baseball. If not, his left-handed power bat could carry him through as a first baseman. And yes, if Collins' chances to remain at catcher were greater, he'd likely sit a few spots higher on this list, perhaps even No. 1.

Jarrett Freeland, Parkview (Lilburn, Ga.)

Top prospects shine at H.S. Invitational
April, 1, 2012
By Christopher Crawford | ESPN.com
Andrew Craft/ESPNHSMater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.) junior catcher Jeremy Martinez celebrates the Monarchs' win over Harvard-Westlake in the championship of the inaugural USA Baseball H.S. Invitational.CARY, N.C. -- From a scouting perspective, the problem with high school baseball is the lack of competition top draft prospects face throughout the season. With prospects spread out across the country, the cream of the crop are rarely matched up against one another, which makes it difficult to accurately assess their skills.
That is why the USA Baseball National High School Invitational is such a welcome addition to the spring schedule. And not only by the major league scouts and front office executives who came out in droves, but also by the players who got a chance to prove themselves in a competitive environment. You'd be hard pressed to see better high school baseball played anywhere in the country. As one scout put it, "It's the best collection of talent I've seen in one complex in my 20 years of doing this."
Here's a look at 10 prospects — in no particular order — who stood out over the four days in North Carolina.
Jeremy Martinez
Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.), C, Jr.
Martinez's beautiful line-drive stroke — in addition to his hustle and leadership — was on full display throughout his team's run to the title. The USC commit also shut down the opposition's running game. Overall, the junior backstop showed once again why he's one of the top prep prospects in the Class of 2013.
Lucas Sims
Brookwood (Snellville, Ga.), RHP, Sr.
Sims was close to unhittable in his start against Highlands Ranch on Wednesday, giving up just one knock over six innings while striking out 11. His fastball sat between 91-93 mph with a devastating curveball and a changeup that has improved since the Prospect Classic. He's currently committed to Clemson, but there's a real chance he'll be taken in the first 20 picks of June's draft.
Ty Moore
Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.), RHP/OF, Sr.
Moore was one of the better two-way prospects on display over the week. He shut out the vaunted Carroll lineup over five innings on Thursday using a fastball with plenty of movement and a breaking-ball that he commanded well all day. He made good reads on the ball in the outfield, and he showed some pop at the plate by hitting one of the longer homers of the event.
Max Fried
Harvard-Westlake (Studio City, Calif.), LHP, Sr.
At No. 4 in the ESPN 100, Fried was one of the most-hyped prospects coming into the event. He didn't disappoint. The left-handed ace struggled early against Parkview (Lilburn, Ga.), but the UCLA pledge ended up throwing a complete game and striking out eight. He hit 94 on the gun and showed the best breaking-ball of any pitcher in the field.
Arden Pabst
Harvard-Westlake (Studio City, Calif.), C, Jr.
Another impressive SoCal catcher from the Class of 2013, Pabst showed impressive pitch recognition and a swing that should be conducive to power as he gets stronger. Behind the plate, he demonstrated solid catch-throw skills. It shouldn't surprise anyone if Pabst and Martinez are off the draft board very early in 2013.
Courtney Hawkins
Carroll (Corpus Christi, Texas), OF/RHP, Sr.
When you throw a shutout and hit a home run in a 1-0 victory, you know you've had yourself a pretty good day. Hawkins did that Thursday, and he did it against Florida power Gulliver Prep (Pinecrest, Fla.). Hawkins' fastball sat in the low-90s all game, and he touched 94. His combination of arm strength, speed and raw power makes him one of the top prospects for the 2012 draft.
Brandon Lopez
American Heritage (Plantation, Fla.), SS, Sr.
There was no better defensive shortstop over the week than Lopez. The Miami recruit made dazzling plays going to his left and right, and he showed plenty of arm strength for the position as well. He was no slouch with the stick, either, but it's his glove that makes Lopez such a valuable commodity.
Ryan Burr
Highlands Ranch (Colo.), RHP, Sr.
Burr battled Sims neck and neck for five innings on Wednesday, but some defensive miscues ultimately led to the lopsided final score of 7-0. The Arizona State signee sat in the low-90s and touched 93. Additionally, he showed good commanded of both his fastball and hard-biting breaking ball.
Matt Olson
Parkview (Lilburn, Ga.), RHP/1B, Sr.
Georgia's Gatorade State Player of the Year in 2011, Olson was a dominant force on the mound and at the plate during the tournament. He shut down a strong George Washington (New York) lineup on Wednesday and then crushed a Fried fastball for a homer on Thursday.
Rock Rucker
Russell County (Seale, Ala.), OF, Sr.
In addition to having one of the best names out there, Rucker is an impressive athlete who turned a lot of heads at the event. The left-handed hitting OF has plenty of arm strength — his fastball has been clocked in the 90s — and there's raw power and plenty of bat-speed in his stroke as well.
Honorable Mentions
Joey Gallo, Bishop Gormon (Las Vegas), 3B/RHP, Sr.
Jack Flaherty, Harvard-Westlake (Studio City, Calif.), RHP, Soph.
Adrian Marin, Gulliver Prep (Pinecrest, Fla.), SS, Sr.
Ryan McMahon, Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.), 3B, Jr.
Ivan Pelaez, Gulliver Prep (Pinecrest, Fla.), LHP, Sr.

USA Baseball H.S. Invitational Primer
March, 28, 2012
By Matt Remsberg | ESPN.com
Courtesy of Matt LaCour/Harvard-WestlakeSenior lefty Max Fried will lead Harvard-Westlake (Studio City, Calif.) into this week's USA Baseball National High School InvitationalFour days, 16 teams, 32 games -- however you slice it there is going to be a lot of baseball played between Wednesday and Saturday during the USA Baseball National High School Invitational.
But the event isn't just about quantity. There's plenty of quality on hand. Six teams in the POWERADE FAB 50 made the trip to Cary, N.C., along with 10 players in the ESPN 100. The tournament kicks off with American Heritage (Plantation, Fla.) facing Oxford (Ala.) Wednesday at 11 a.m. ET, and it culminates with the championship on Saturday at noon ET in a game that will be streamed live on MLB.com.
Here's a look at the top storylines to follow as the event unfolds.
Life without No. 1
Harvard-Westlake (Studio City, Calif.) had a dream rotation lined up for the spring with top right-hander (and No. 1 overall prospect) Lucas Giolito and top southpaw Max Fried both on the roster. But in his third start of the season on March 6, Giolito left the game with what was later diagnosed as a sprained ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow. UCL injuries lead to Tommy John surgery, so Giolito did the wise thing and shut it down. He remains extremely unlikely to pitch again this season.
Fortunately for the Wolverines, fate dealt them a second ace for the 2012 season. Fried transferred to Harvard-Westlake after his old school, Montclair Prep (Van Nuys, Calif.), announced it was cutting all extracurricular activities just a couple months before the school year began. Rated the nation's No. 4 overall prospect, Fried struggled a bit early in the season but has been nails since Giolito went down. In his most recent start last Friday, Fried fanned 14 over five innings in a 9-3 win against Lancaster (Calif.).
Stepping into the No. 2 spot in the rotation is sophomore RHP Jack Flaherty. In the second game of the doubleheader against Lancaster last Friday, Flaherty earned the win on the mound and also smacked a home run. So yeah, don't count Harvard-Westlake out quite yet.
The players on this year's Columbus (Ga.) baseball team know a little something about winning. In addition to claiming the past two Class AAA state crowns, the Blue Devils boast four players who were on Columbus' Little League World Series championship team in 2006. Kyle Carter, J.T. Phillips, Josh Lester and Ryan Lang keyed the Little League run, and they haven't slowed down since.
Carter and Phillips have both pledged to Georgia, but they'd undoubtedly love to add a new piece of hardware to their already loaded trophy cases before they take the next step in their careers. It's no long shot, either, as Columbus currently sits at No. 3 in the POWERADE FAB 50.
Thawing Out
Of the 16 teams in the tournament, 14 hail from traditional baseball hotbeds. Florida, California and Georgia are each represented by three squads, Alabama will send two, and Texas, Nevada and North Carolina send a team apiece. The remaining two teams don't quite fit the warm-weather bill, however.
George Washington hails from a few blocks north of Yankee Stadium in New York City, while Highlands Ranch is located in the Denver suburbs. But just because the players on these two teams are handy with a snow shovel doesn't mean they aren't adept with a bat and glove as well.
George Washington features a pair of elite talents in outfielder Fernelys Sanchez and catcher Nelson Rodriguez. Sanchez fractured his fibula in a game Saturday and will miss the event, but the power bat of Rodriguez and a deep pitching staff should allow the Trojans to contend for the tournament title.
Highlands Ranch is led by right-hander Ryan Burr. The No. 72 recruit in the ESPN 100, Burr fanned a staggering 95 batters in 53 innings last spring. The Arizona State pledge will get plenty of help in North Carolina from returning All-State picks RHP/SS Tony Audino and C Adam Gauthier.
Young Money
With elite senior prospects on display like No. 4 Fried, No. 5 Joey Gallo of Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas), No. 12 Lucas Sims of Brookwood (Snellville, Ga.) and No. 26 Courtney Hawkins of Carroll (Corpus Christi, Texas), the Class of 2012 is very well represented. But don't sleep on the talent from the Class of 2013.
Leading the way for the juniors is a pair of catchers: Zach Collins from American Heritage (Plantation, Fla.) and Jeremy Martinez from Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.). Collins is hitting a team-best .500 so far this season through 16 games, while Martinez is coming off a sophomore campaign in which he batted .388 and drove in 32 runs.
Parkview (Lilburn, Ga.) outfielder Josh Hart and Columbus (Ga.) righty Hunter Swilling are another couple juniors to watch. Meanwhile, Sarasota (Fla.) junior outfielder Jason Sierra has already pledged to Vanderbilt.
Not a single player from Oxford (Ala.) has been mentioned thus far, but the Yellow Jackets have the kind of pitching depth needed to make some noise at an event like this in which teams have to play four games in four days.
A pair of SEC-bound senior right-handers lead the staff in Tucker Simpson (Florida) and Jackson Stephens (Alabama). Each is also dangerous at the plate, but it's senior outfielder Matthew Goodson who's the most lethal with the lumber. The Alabama pledge blasted 22 long balls last spring.
Senior hurlers Zach Lovvorn and Frazier Taylor each won seven games last season and provide serious depth at the back end of the rotation. And then there's Trent Simpson, a budding superstar for Oxford in the junior class.
Add it up, and that just might be the winning formula.
The Starting Nine: Preseason look
February, 29, 2012
By ESPNHS
Mike Janes/Four Seam Images via AP Images, Scott Kurtz/ESPNHS(From left to right) Byron Buxton, Lucas Giolito and Joey Gallo are the three top preseason candidates for The Diamond Gem, the title bestowed upon the nation's most outstanding baseball player based on on-field performance.
With spring right around the corner, ESPNHS has begun its search for the nation's top high school baseball player, regardless of school year and based solely on on-field performance.
Every two weeks, we'll rank the nine players in order in The Starting Nine. And at the end of the season, whoever is in the top spot will be crowned The Diamond Gem, our award given to the nation's most outstanding player.
So to kick it off, we give you our preseason Starting Nine. Leading the way is Harvard-Westlake (Studio City, Calif.) senior Lucas Giolito, the nation's top right-handed pitcher who dominated opposing hitters last season and has looked very much like an early first-round pick in the early going this year.
The Starting Nine: Preseason
1. Lucas Giolito, Harvard-Westlake (Studio City, Calif.)
RHP, Senior
Why he's here: The nation's top right-hander, Giolito went 9-0 last year with a 1.00 ERA with 78 strikeouts in 70.1 innings. He also pitched four complete games, three of which were shutouts.
2. Joey Gallo, Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas)
1B/3B/RHP, Senior
Why he's here: The top player on the top team in the POWERADE FAB 50, Gallo hit .471 last year with 25 homers and 78 RBIs while leading Gorman to its sixth straight state title. He also was 3-1 on the bump with a 1.12 ERA and 29 strikeouts in 18.2 innings.
3. Byron Buxton, Appling County (Baxley, Ga.)
OF, Senior
Why he's here: The nation's top outfielder and potential top 10 pick in June's MLB draft flirted with the .600 mark last season (he finished hitting .594) and clubbed 10 homers while driving in 48 runs.
4. Lance McCullers Jr., Jesuit (Tampa, Fla.)
RHP/SS, Senior
Why he's here: The hard-throwing right-hander (he's hit 100 mph on the radar gun) went 5-2 with a 1.71 ERA and 70 strikeouts in 45 innings last season for the Class 4A state runner-up. He also hit .422 with seven homers and 24 RBIs.
5. Kayden Porter, Spanish Fork (Utah)
RHP/OF, Senior
Why he's here: Porter picked up ESPNHS National Junior of the Year honors last year after leading Spanish Fork to its third straight state title. He went 9-1 with 85 strikeouts in 59 innings and hit .570 with 14 homers and 50 RBIs.
6. Gavin Cecchini, Barbe (Lake Charles, La.)
SS, Senior
Why he's here: Leader of Louisiana powerhouse picked up Gatorade State Player of the Year honors last season after hitting .548 with 10 homers, 41 RBIs and 32 stolen bases.
7. Max Fried, Harvard-Westlake (Studio City, Calif.)
LHP, Senior
Why he's here: The nation's top lefty, Fried went 7-3 with a 1.31 ERA and 100 strikeouts in 69.2 innings at Montclair Prep (Van Nuys, Calif.). He transferred to Harvard-Westlake after Montclair Prep cut its athletics program.
8. Kyle Carter, Columbus (Ga.)
OF/LHP, Senior
Why he's here: Carter, who starred on the Columbus team that won the 2006 Little League World Series, set a single-season school record with 22 homers last season to help Columbus earn its second straight state title and 11th overall. He also hit .467 with 47 RBIs and went 9-4 on the mound with a 2.33 ERA.
9. Courtney Hawkins, Carroll (Corpus Christi, Texas)
RHP/OF, Senior
Why he's here: The leader of the No. 4 team in the POWERADE FAB 50, Hawkins led Carroll to a state title as a sophomore and the state semifinals last season. As a junior, he hit .410 with 15 homers, 49 RBIs and 22 stolen bases and was 10-2 with a 2.35 ERA and 81 strikeouts.
Another 25 players we're tracking to begin the 2012 season

Preseason FAB 50: Closer look at top 10
February, 13, 2012
By Mark Tennis & Doug Huff | ESPN.com
Corpus Christi Caller-Times/Photographer George TuleyCarroll (Corpus Christi) senior outfielder/right-handed pitcher Courtney Hawkins leads the way for the Tigers, who advanced to last year's state semifinals.
Coming up with a preseason baseball top 10 for the Powerade FAB 50 ESPNHS Team Rankings was no easy task.
How high should we rank Harvard-Westlake (Studio City, Calif.), which has the nation's top right-hander (Lucas Giolito) and left-hander (Max Fried) on its roster?
And what about Jesuit (Tampa, Fla.), led by senior flamethrower and likely first-round pick Lance McCullers Jr.?
Ultimately, the top spot came down to a pair of traditional national powers in Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas) and Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.), two schools that once again field impressive collections of players that will make them very tough to beat in their respective leagues.

Is it common for the rear brake pads to wear out after only 23.5k miles? No warning of impending damage to rotor via scrapper tabs...none notice on pads. Comparative front to rear pad surfaces, I still have approx. 80% lining left on fronts. Also noted significant pad size difference with the rears being much smaller pads. Possible design flaw given this vehicle is rear wheel drive with traction control? Or possible problem with electronic parking brake allowing rear brakes to drag. Anyone with input on this matter?

2007 Jaguar XJ8 Question: Rear Brake Pad Wearout At 23.5k miles
Best Answer
Just A Guy March 19, 2010, 12:55Technician
I can't say about this specific car, but that is on the early side of a reasonable time for brakes (18-50k is the expected range). Obviously driving habits and where you drive (like coming down a mountain every day) can play a lot on brake wear.
It definitely is unusually to get more rear pad wear than front. Your theory on the fact that its a rear wheel drive might play in somehow, but I couldn't say how exactly.
Answer #2Visitor, May 11, 2010, 12:15
The exact same thing happened to my 2006 XJ8L. I got front and rear replaced 12000 miles ago. My front is now at 7.5 mm and my rear is at 3.5mm and they are recommending that I replace the rear. They told me the reason is that the back pads are a lot smaller than the fronts. I'm very skeptical.
ReplyVisitor, September 27, 2010, 13:18
The same thing happened to my 2008 XJ8L. I only had 26K miles and the back brakes had metal to metal contact. I had replace the rear brakes and the parking brake.

This weekend marked the opening of X-Men: Days of Future Past, the latest installment in the wildly successful X-Men movie franchise.

In Kamloops, staff told CFJC they arrived for a meeting this morning only to be told they were let go. Christopher Dixon was the Appliance Manager and says he was informed he would be among about 40 other sales staff without a job as the location is closing. Dixon says the Kamloops Future Shop will be turned into a Best Buy. The store owners have yet to confirm that report. Late last year, retail giant and U.S. based company Target announced it would be closing all 133 of it's Canadian stores by mid May, leaving over 17, 600 employees out of work.

AP source: Michael Morse agrees to terms with Marlins
MIAMI (AP) A person familiar with the negotiations says first baseman Mike Morse has agreed to a two-year contract with the Miami Marlins pending a physical.

In this article we test the Alphacool NexXxoS XP HIGHFLOW Core i7 CPU water block. We will apply a nearly passive water-cooling kit to it and observe installation and temperatures. Since we could take a Core i7 965 processor up towards an overclock of 4 GHz we'd say this ia a very succesful product from the guys over at Alphacool. Read article

Jayda Johnson of Fulton commits to Tennessee State
Jayda Johnson didn't see any reason to drag the recruiting process along.
The 6-foot rising senior at Fulton High School committed Thursday to play basketball for Tennessee State, a Division I school in Nashville that competes in the Ohio Valley Conference.
"I just wanted to get the college thing over with as quickly as possible," Johnson said Friday. "It was a spur-of-the-moment decision, but it was a smart decision."
Johnson said she also had scholarship offers from Morehead (Ky.) State and Carson-Newman, and was being recruited by "at least 10 other schools."
Most recently, Lipscomb (Nashville), Iona (New Rochelle, N.Y.), and Long Island University (Brooklyn) had contacted Johnson about taking visits. All are Division I programs. Lipscomb competes in the Atlantic Sun Conference, Long Island in the Northeast Conference, and Iona in the Metro Atlantic Conference.
"I just weighed all my options, talked with my parents, and figured out the school that was the best fit for me," she said. "I didn't see myself going to New York. I wanted to go somewhere close where my family and friends could see me play."
Johnson was scheduled to attend a camp at Morehead State next week but isn't sure if she will be there.
Johnson averaged 16.3 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 2.8 steals last season as the Lady Falcons went 26-3, won the District 3-AA title and reached the Region 2-AA semifinals. She was chosen to the PrepXtra first team.
Although she's listed as a post player, Johnson has the versatility to play almost every position.
"She can do it all," Fulton coach John Fisher said. "She's versatile. She can step out and shoot it, and she can play in the post. She's so strong down there. She has the ability to play numerous positions. She runs the floor well and she plays hard."
Johnson played for Webb as a freshman and earned all-state honors. After transferring to Fulton as a sophomore, Johnson sat out that season under TSSAA transfer rules.
Last season, she played alongside Walters State signee Bre Hall to give the Lady Falcons a formidable one-two scoring punch.
Johnson was recruited by Larry Joe Inman, who was hired as Tennessee State's coach in April. Inman, who has 30 years of coaching experience, was inducted into the OVC Hall of Fame in 2009.
Johnson visited the Tennessee State campus in May.
"I love it," she said. "I just felt it was the best fit for me. I had a bunch of other offers. I wanted to go somewhere I could see myself staying all four years. Now that my decision is over with, I can worry about my high school team. We'll have a good team, even though we lost Bre (Hall)."

Audrina Patridge Gets Fashionable… Sort Of
These pictures look like Audrina Patridge is walking the runway for some fashion show, but that can't be right, so I'm going to say that this is for a charity event of some kind. Good for her. She's hot and all, but she's no model. Anyhow, she still looks good, I'd hit it. But I've got a thing for boring beauty pageant chicks, they have such great posture, their hair always looks good and they all wear heels with their bikinis. What more could you ask for? Audrina isn't going to win any pageants without letting those big fake boobs loose. I'm just saying.

Mat Latos rocked Wednesday in minor league spring game
Mar 16, 2011, 8:35 PM EDT
Padres right-hander Mat Latos did not have the best Wednesday afternoon.
According to Bill Center of the San Diego Union-Tribune, the 23-year-old labored through a 3.2-inning appearance in a minor league intrasquad game, surrendering five earned runs on six hits and issuing three walks. He struck out six, but he needed a total of 76 pitches to get through the short outing.
Latos told the Union-Tribune after the game that he "couldn't get any adrenaline pumping" and wasn't throwing at full force against the group of Padres minor leaguers — many of whom he still knows well from the two-plus years that he spent in the Friars' farm system.
"I played with 90 percent of those guys," Latos said. "I'm not going to go hard inside and risk hitting one of them. There were positive things. I had a good downhill angle. I worked at a fast tempo. My two-seamer (fastball) was moving."
That's all well and good, but Padres pitching coach Darren Balsley didn't appreciate the youngster throwing his glove against the dugout wall after he was pulled with one out remaining in the fourth inning.
"I would have liked to see better body language from Mat today," said Balsley. "But he'll calm down once we start the season. Last year he did a good job with mound presence and poise. He's aware of his emotions."
Latos is entering the 2011 season with sky-high expectations after the 2.92 ERA and 189 strikeouts that he tallied across 184.2 innings last year. Rotoworld has him as the seventh most valuable fantasy starter.

He's a great pitcher if he can control his emotions when times get hard.. And success will be dependent on if he can do it.

There's another good sign for pool and spa construction!
Harvard's Joint Center for Housing Studies expects double-digit growth in big-ticket single-family home remodeling at least through the first half of this year. By the last quarter of 2014, increases are expected to descend, but to a still-respectable rate just under 10%.
In compiling the Leading Indicator of Remodeling Activity (LIRA), the JCHS does include the addition of pools and spas, but not landscaping, maintenance or repairs, or rental units.
Eight key indicators are used to compute the figures, pulling from the National Association of Home Builders, National Association of Realtors, Federal Reserve Board and the U.S. Census Bureau.
The JCHS predicts $153.8 billion worth of expenditures on remodeling projects costing more than $500. That's some serious opportunity -- the dollars are there!

Guilt Trip: Not wanting to play more
Somewhere along the line, "playmate" became another facet of the mom job description. But in today's crazy-busy life, slowing down is hard enough, and slowing down to play yet another game of Little Mermaid and the Princess Ponies is -- well, it takes a saint.
Give yourself a break: First, reconcile yourself to the happy fact that children don't need to be entertained their every waking hour (least of all by you). And when you do decide to spend time with them, really do so, even if it's only for half an hour. Focus on what you're doing, rather than on the to-do list in your mind.
"When my husband plays with the kids, instead of thinking 'How much longer do I have to do this?' he tells himself that he will just be in the moment, and he says it works great," says Jacqueline Mroz, a mom of three sons in Montclair, New Jersey. "So I tried it, too, and he's right!"
Remember also that your mom probably didn't get down on the floor with you all that often -- and she didn't feel guilty about it. I've always told my kids, only half joking, that I am not the fun parent. Daddy will play crocodile with them all day, but I'm too busy keeping them well fed and reasonably well groomed and chauffeuring them all around town. They seem to accept this as gospel -- and, yes, sometimes I break out and surprise myself, to their total delight.
Finally, realize that you do a lot for your child every single day. "At the end of the day, I try to tell myself, here are five things I did that my kids loved," says Pamela Anderson, a mom of two in Coronado, California. "You do the best you can on all fronts and try to ignore the rest."
Guilt Trip: Not wanting sex
"Having been in contact with small bodies all day long, I just don't want physical contact with another body at the end of the day, when I'm totally exhausted," says Mara Collins, a mom of four in Portland, Oregon. "My husband knows intellectually where I'm coming from, but there's the other side of him that feels rejected and hurt. And that just makes me feel worse."
Give yourself a break: Sometimes guilt is a necessary emotion -- it serves as an internal alarm that something may be amiss. The tricky part is knowing when to tune in to the feeling and when to tune it out.
No one is saying that feeling touched-out isn't valid. But before any misunderstanding snowballs, communicate: Tell your husband how tired you really are, even if you're sure that he already knows.
And at some point, you'll have to rally and communicate in that other way, for the good of your union. "When I say 'no' one too many times, we get into this negative-feedback loop," says Collins. "But it only takes once to get back on track. Being physical with each other keeps our connection strong, and it's worth it in the longer run. I try to remember that."
Yes, we all know about date nights -- but who can afford a regular one these days? So do what my friend Lynne Matlock does. "Sometimes we'll order takeout and have it delivered after the kids are asleep," says the Long Beach, California, mom, whose two kids go to bed at 7:30 sharp (she thanks her husband for that).
"We eat it by candlelight. Not only do we get to be together, but we also feel like we're getting away with something -- like teenagers!"

Likely the best patio in Wiarton. Marilyn is an excellent cook. The atmosphere has slid a little over the years in my opinion but it's good value and a nice patio location. Nice place to have a pint and a bite.
Wife and I both got the fish and chips. It was just frozen fish they threw in a fryer. The coleslaw wasn't anything special either. Our kids' meals were pathetic.

what kind of peony is this?
engk916(6/NJ)June 7, 2009
i have some peonies which stopped blooming a couple of weeks ago, and today saw this variety at a nearby farm. does anyone here happen to know what kind of peony this is? i'm not sure if this is considered an early/middle/late variety, but i would love to have some in my garden.
peonyman(Zone 5, Lawrence, Ks)
It is almost impossible to identify any particular cultivar of peony from a picture.
The latest double pink herbaceous peony I have is Rozella. It is very double but the stems are very strong and it does not flop. Rozella is not widely available but I am sure it can be found. You might try to google for it. It blooms concurrently with another latest double that blooms in white, Ann Cousins. Unfortunately Ann Cousins is a flopper.

World's first robotic LEGO band makes its debut
We've seen some impressive creations that use LEGO pieces to make music in the past, from a drum machine sequencer to a Star Wars-themed barrel organ. More recently though, Italian music producer Giuseppe Acito decided to take the inevitable next step and build a fully working band using the little plastic bricks. The "Toa Mata Band" is made up of several tiny robotic LEGO figures programmed to play a variety of instruments. Read More
MidiWing opens up music creation to everybody
Inspired by the many people he encountered at his mother's daycare center for severely disabled children when he was a youngster himself, multi-instrumentalist Dan Daily began working on a digital music system that anyone can play, regardless of ability or physical capability. Several prototypes later, along with some vital technical input from Lockhead Martin subsidiary Sandia National Laboratories, and MidiWing 1 is ready for release. Read More
Review: Peavey AT-200 guitar with Auto-Tune technology
Gizmag has been following the development of the Antares Auto-Tune for Guitar technology with great interest since it was first teased back in May 2011. In January 2012, it was launched in two guitars at the Winter NAMM show, but only one of those has actually made the leap into production. Peavey released its AT-200 as last year came to a close, and I've spent the last few weeks in the company of this game-changing guitar while also chatting with some of the folks involved in its development.

As technology becomes more integrated into our lives, it's reaching a point where the only fodder left for electronic enhancement will be the clothes on our backs. For design group Machina, that notion represents a world of possibilities for how we interact with each other and even create art. The team of anonymous designers recently developed the MJ v01 MIDI Controller jacket, which conceals a variety of sensors that sync to iOS and Android devices to produce electronic music through the wearer's movements.

Educational electronics kits like the one from Minty Geek are a great introduction to the world of circuit building and electronic tinkering, but are perhaps a little too basic for more advanced hobbyists. Three MIT students are currently enjoying enormous success on the Kickstarter crowd-funding platform with a DIY Tesla coil kit called oneTesla that can make artificial lightning sing ... well, erm, play music from a MIDI source. Now where did I put that polyphonic version of This Town Ain't Big Enough For Both Of Us by Sparks? Read More
Peavey's AT-200 electric guitar featuring Antares Auto-Tune pitch correction technology, which was launched in January 2012, has now been released. Read More
There is no doubt that smartphone- and tablet-based apps have had a huge impact on music creation. While there seems to be plenty of plastic devices that extend functionality and creativity beyond the touchscreen (from the toy-like Fingerist to the iTar), if you yearn for wood then you're options are a little less abundant. After spending two years in development, the first images of Artiphon's intriguing, hardwood-bodied INSTRUMENT 1 for iPhone have been released ahead of a product launch in early 2013. Read More
SoundMachine sequences LEGO bricks into beats
It would be fair to say that we're big fans of LEGO here at Gizmag, and so have covered the diminutive plastic bricks being implemented in a variety of cool projects, like the motorized wheelchair and Rolls Royce jet engine. The latest such design to grab our attention is a drum machine sequencer created by Irish computer security engineer and all-round LEGO genius Mark Crosbie, dubbed "SoundMachine." Read More
Bash out an email with the MIDI drum keyboard
As input methods like the Gauntlet, Kee4, ASETNIOP and the back-type prototype from AlphaUI effectively demonstrate, there are many novel ways to enter text into a computer system. I'll wager that few (if any) Gizmag readers would consider using a set of drums to type out messages, though. But that's precisely what Alec Smecher has done. He readily admits that it's not the most practical typing solution but it is helping him to hone his skills as a bucket banger. Read More
Altering the tension of tuned strings through the influence of the tremolo or whammy bar on an electric guitar is an important part of any modern guitarist's trick bag. Early mechanical vibrato systems were notorious for throwing the instrument out of tune, and although huge improvements have been made over the years, intense or brutal use of some modern systems can still lead to problems. In 1989, DigiTech launched a pedal-based solution called the WH-1 Whammy, that offered players the same pitch altering capabilities of hardware systems, as well as additional harmony and detune effects, without any of the associated tuning hassles. Over 20 years later, and looking very much like the iconic original, the fifth version of the Whammy is currently being readied for release and brings something new to the party – the unique Chordal Pitch-Shifting.

Cost to replace a 99 Buick head Gasket
My grandson 99 Buick blew a head gasket after the thermostat stuck . He was quoted 1500 at dealers, 1200 at an independent shop and 600 by a guy that works in his back yard. He and I decided to tackle the job. it was a monster. Took us 7 hrs 4 one day and 3 the next, However, we got it done and car runs fine, seems to me12 and 15oo is a bit much for such a job. I am an 82 yr old tinkerer and he knows absoloutely nothing about working on cars, However, if we could do the job in 7 hrs seems a shop with all their impact wrenches and such could do it much faster and the charge should be less than 1200, any thoughts on this?By the way it was the 3100 engine
As long as you did everything properly you should be fine.
did you replace the head bolts ? Use the updated manifold
set ? lock tite the manifold bolts down ? Check the heads
for warpage and champher all sharp edges off the head where it meets the block ? Why did the thermostat stick ?
They usually stick open. Oh yah. Make sure you change the oil and filter at least twice in the first month if anti
freeze got into the oil. The 3.1 is a bad apple for manifold gasket leaks. Good job, i hope. Spending quality time with your grandson is a good thing.
How many miles were on the car?I have a 2005 Buick Century with that same 3100 engine.It is are traveling and weekend nice weather car.It only has 19,800 miles we bought it new.I just bought a 4 year extended warranty from GM because I have heard about this head gasket problem.I wanted coverage so took it out before the end of the 3 yr 36000 mile coverage ended.I had a 2.8 in a Pontiac 6000 however that went to 150,00 no problem and it was basically the same exact engine.I have a 3800 in another 1994 Buick with 144,00 miles no problems and they claim it is a bad apple also.But it still makes me jittery about the 3100 hopefully they updated that engine on my 2005.I love that car.
As for the prices you were quoted.I know what you mean everything is way out of line these days.I am curious of just how many miles were on your grandsons Buick?
We took the heads to a machine shop and had them checked, used new head bolts guy at parts place advised this also new gaskets every place. Marcel who ocassionaly posts here, loaned us a torque wrench and gave lots of helpful advice, he owned and operated a garage many years. The car has 95k miles on it. The blown head gasket was due in a large part to my grandson,s lack of car knowledge. It started to heat up he kept driving in an effort to get home instead of pulling over and letting car cool> I have no idea why the T stat stuck, but I checked it and it,s definitely stuck closed. We also changed the oil. Tell you one thing the old man is sore and will take things easy for a day or two. definitely not an easy job, but not worth 1200 either Guy at machine shop said heads were fine, not warped and did not need a valve job. Car runs good, kid says it has lots more zip
Hey pips...Don't know if this is the right place to post this but i really apologize in putting this thread up. Just badly need some sort of help from you. Hope get what im looking of . So My Century 99 had a coolant leak which was diagnosed as the head gasket. The leak was external as far as I observed, there was no smoke out of the exhaust. The repair facility wants to replace many items along including the head gasket to assure total satisfaction with the job. The cost of Buick Century repair was $1900. If the leak is external, do they need to replace spark plugs, pump, alternator,....I also asked them if they checked for a manifold leak and they triple checked and it is was no.My question is that, what is the minimum I should do to have a faithful vehicle? Thanks a lot!
That price for a head gasket replacement, spark plugs and an alternator is sheer robbery, you may need the plugs and if the alternator is making noise it should probably be replaced, otherwise if it.s charging alright and you do not have a problem starting vehicle it does not need replacing. Check some other shops you should certainly be able to get repair done for less than 1900 bucks.

AJ Lee returning
Monday Night Raw is being held in New Jersey tonight, and a very familiar face is backstage at the moment. AJ Lee is scheduled to make her return to WWE this week. The belief is that she will end up teaming up with Paige at Wrestlemania to take on Nikki Bella and Brie Bella. Unless plans are changed during the day, the program should be started on television tonight. AJ recently made headlines by bashing Stephanie McMahon and the company.

AJ Lee injured
Some further details have been revealed about AJ Lee and her recent visit backstage during Monday Night Raw. When asked by fans about her status, the diminutive diva revealed to them that she was still injured and not healthy enough to make a return to WWE just yet. That has led to speculations that the visit was so that she can visit with company physicians and be cleared for work. A Wrestlemania return is now being speculated for her.

AJ Lee at Raw
While many are under the assumption that her days with the company are over and that she is going to be spending the rest of her time with CM Punk as he prepares for a career in UFC, AJ Lee decided to throw a wrench into that thinking last night. The longtime WWE diva was in attendance at Monday Night Raw. She was backstage with her wrestling gear and ready to go, but management opted against using her on television.
January 20, 2015
AJ Lee backstage heat
Reports have surfaced that AJ Lee is not a very popular person backstage in WWE nowadays. The feeling is that she is essentially doing whatever she wants because she knows that the company needs her more than she needs them. AJ is said to be more than willing to walk away from the business. Some of the backstage heat towards the former divas champion also stems from the resentment that many in the company have towards CM Punk.
