"We know what we can do and it's going to be a great story," he said.
At the time, the words fell on many a deaf ear. The Cats had dropped to 21-8 after losing at South Carolina and a once-promising 2013-14 season was looking more and more disappointing.
What followed, of course, was a trip to the national championship game. As for Harrison, he did his part, hitting two of the biggest shots in UK's illustrious postseason history, vaulting the Cats over Michigan and then Wisconsin on game-winning 3-pointers from the wing.
So why are those 14 words being brought up again now over one year later and with the Cats standing tall at 35-0? Well, because Harrison may be on to something again.
After a ho-hum 23-point opening game victory over 16th-seeded Hampton on Thursday, Harrison wasn't happy. The only one of UK's active rotation of players without a field goal, the second team All-Southeastern Conference selection said UK's next game Saturday against Cincinnati (23-10) would be different.
"I think everyone will see a different team on Saturday, definitely," he said.
Uh oh.
The reason behind Harrison's words is he didn't think the Cats played with much intensity against Hampton. He wasn't the only one though.
"We did some good things, we did some bad things," Willie Cauley-Stein said.
"We kinda came out sluggish and we gotta come out of the gate better than that with what we did (Thursday)," Dakari Johnson said.
"Came out a little sluggish at the beginning," Trey Lyles said.
Aaron Harrison wasn't the only one who vowed a change on Saturday though. His twin brother, Andrew, joined in this time.
"For me, I started off sluggish," Andrew Harrison said. "It won't happen again."
Again, uh oh.
As it has been written before, in March, the Harrison twins tend to step their games up to new heights. While Aaron Harrison had an uncharacteristically off night against Hampton, Andrew rebounded from a tough first half with a strong second half. In the final 20 minutes, Andrew Harrison went 3 for 3 from the field, scored seven points, grabbed three rebounds, dished out two assists and had a steal.
So does it carry a bit more weight when it's Aaron Harrison who makes a statement about what the team is going to do?
"Yeah, especially if he's saying it," Cauley-Stein said. "Him and his brother are kind of the throttle on the team. If they're saying they're going to come out playing different, then they're going to come out playing different. In return, everybody's going to come out playing different. They're kind of the fuel to the fire."
Whether it comes to fruition or not is still to be seen, but it appears there's a hearty amount of fuel in the tank for Saturday's third-round matchup between two schools just 85 miles apart. While they haven't played since 2005, the proximity of the schools coupled with the David vs. Goliath theme that nearly every team will use when playing undefeated Kentucky, makes UK head coach John Calipari believe the Bearcats will be more than ready.
"They've got a chance to beat the No. 1 team in the country," Coach Cal said. "They've got a chance. They're next up on the docket. I would imagine they're dreaming about it, thinking about it, having people in the stands. Make sure you take video of this because I want my grandkids to see it. And I don't blame them. ... It should be a great game. It should be a war."
Which makes the attitude and confidence held by the Harrisons one that Calipari welcomes from his team. This time of year, Coach Cal says, is time for him to love his team, but not a time for him to drag his team. Instead, he wants his team to become more empowered, and to take more ownership in how everything goes and is carried.
"It's their team," Calipari said. "They know it's not my team."
And the longer this season goes, the more Coach Cal wants that empowerment to grow, and the players do as well. The end result, well, that could make opponents say "uh oh."
"Later in the season we go I feel like we're all going to need each other the most," freshman guard Devin Booker said. "We know that. We're coming together even closer toward the end of the year and I feel like it's going to be dangerous."
Some have sunk into zone defenses and challenged the Cats to hit from the outside. Some have gone with full-court pressure against UK.
For what seems like every one of the Cats' wins, opponents have gone with a different approach to hand them their first loss.
"They gotta run out eventually," Willie Cauley-Stein said. "They try everything. You got to though. You can't get mad at it. I would do the same thing."
Of course, none of it's worked.
Top-seeded UK has charged through 35 games without a loss to tie the best start to a season in NCAA history. The Cats will look to take over the record on their own when they face eighth-seeded Cincinnati (23-10) at approximately 2:40 p.m. on Saturday at the KFC Yum! Center.
When they do, they'll take on an opponent they expect to try a familiar game plan.
"We just know that they're going to play extremely hard and try to bully us," Cauley-Stein said. "They play that zone. That's really all we've looked at so far. We'll know more about probably an hour."
Cauley-Stein would have to wait an hour because the Cats had yet to spend much time preparing for the Bearcats as of Friday afternoon. The final buzzer didn't sound on their second-round NCAA Tournament win over Hampton until well after midnight and the team bus didn't pull into the hotel until close to 3 a.m.
But that would change at UK's practice later in the day, when John Calipari would reinforce the message about what to expect from Cincinnati.
"The stuff that has affected us, real physical play, stretching our big guys out, playing a zone and doing stuff, that's all what Cincinnati does," Calipari said. "We know we're in for a tough game. They fought all year and deserve to be in a position they're in. A great win. It's going to be a really hard game for us."
The great win Coach Cal referenced was a 66-65 overtime triumph against Purdue. In the game, the Bearcats trailed by seven with less than a minute to play before charging back and forcing the extra session on a buzzer-beating layup by Troy Caupain.
The victory sets up a showdown between two schools separated by barely 80 miles. There are fans of both schools on either side of the Kentucky-Ohio border, a fact that does not escape the Bearcats.
"Being that they are really close to us, we see the things fans and all the blue," sophomore forward Gary Clark said. "We go over to Kentucky to the movie theater, and there's dinner and restaurants. So we see the fans all the time."
In fact, their coach used to be one of them.
Growing up in Mount Sterling, Ky., Larry Davis - serving as interim coach with head coach Mick Cronin out for the season with an unruptured aneurysm - listened to UK games on the radio with his father before attending Asbury College.
"I had some friends there in college whose father had some tickets, and any chance we could, we followed the national championship team with (Jack) Goose Givens and those guys," Davis said. "So I've always had a lot of respect for Kentucky basketball."
For the Cats, the proximity adds a little something extra, though playing for the right to continue their season is motivation enough.
"This has a little more pride on the line," Karl-Anthony Towns said. "It's around the hometown. You gotta protect home at all costs, so like I said, we're going to go out there and play to the best of our abilities for that night and just see how it falls."
Towns expects the same of Cincinnati.
"They're going to be playing like it's their Super Bowl," Towns said. "But not only is it going to be their Super Bowl, it's going to be their Super Bowl, their NBA Finals, their Stanley Cup Finals. I mean, everything together is coming here and we're just playing the game."
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - They won big, but they weren't thrilled with how they did it.
For the Kentucky Wildcats (35-0), each game is a battle against themselves. Up big? Doesn't matter, what can we do to get better? How can everyone individually improve their game to then raise the overall level of the team? That's the mindset this bunch has, and it's clearly worked all season.
"In this locker room it's the same if you're up 50 or you're down 10," sophomore forward Marcus Lee said. "Coach is always yelling at you to do better and that's what makes us great. We're always trying to push each other to do better no matter what the score is."
Top-seeded Kentucky led 16th seeded Hampton by 35 points Thursday night with 12:43 remaining in the game. From there, Hampton outscored Kentucky 28-16. Obviously, it was too little, too late, but it bookended a game that saw Kentucky hit just two of its first nine shots and five of its first 15.
"We did some good things, we did some bad things," junior forward Willie Cauley-Stein said.
The good included a +20 advantage on the boards against a much smaller and overpowered opponent. Similarly, Kentucky outscored the Pirates 44-20 in the paint. The Cats dished out 15 assists while holding Hampton to just two, and had another solid performance at the foul line, converting 20 of 28 attempts.
The bad included a sluggish start that was partly attributable to the Cats not tipping off until approximately 10:18 p.m., thanks to the game before theirs going to overtime, forcing UK to wait in the tunnel and locker room in anticipation of what had already been a very long day of waiting around.
The bad things for Kentucky also included taking its foot off the gas in the second half, a lesson head coach John Calipari has preached to his team, and one that seems to have been heard.
"You can't do things on your terms in this tournament because what happens is you'll have a 12-point lead, and then you'll turn around, and it will be a 2-point game," Coach Cal said. "What just happened? You broke down on two pick-and-rolls defensively, and then someone fouled, didn't need to, and then all of a sudden, they make a play, and it's a 2-point game."
"Something you can take away is that no game is ever over, no matter what the score is," Lee said. "That's something you have to go with and you always have to battle throughout the whole game. You can't just assume you're going to win."
With all of that said, Kentucky did win its opening game of the Big Dance by 23 points and was able to unload its entire bench. Certainly it was a stark contrast to the other three games played in the KFC Yum! Center that day which were each decided by a single point, an NCAA Tournament record for one venue in a single day.
Would Coach Cal, have liked to have maintained that 35-point lead throughout the remainder of the game or even strengthened it? Sure, but he knows that's not always going to happen, especially when he's leading the youngest team in the entire tournament field.
"We held them to 30 percent (shooting from the field) and 25 (percent) from the 3," Coach Cal said. "We fouled way too much today, but like I told the staff, you get up 35, it's hard. It's hard."
Back to the basics for Booker
When Devin Booker came to Kentucky and first started playing with this team he just wanted to figure out how he'd fit in. Fast forward 35 games and the freshman knows what his role is: a shooter.
Booker started the season in a shooting slump but after coming back from an injury he hit a streak that left many anxiously waiting for each reloaded 3. In a seven-game stretch from Dec. 13-Jan. 17, Booker hit 71.4 percent of his shots from deep. Add in the next four games, two where he didn't hit a trey, and his shooting percentage was still 65.8 percent.
Since the Cats played at Georgia on March 3, the Southeastern Conference Sixth Man of the Year hasn't hit more than two 3s in a game. But all of that could of course change in the blink of an eye.
During the SEC Coaches' Teleconference prior to the NCAA Tournament, Coach Cal predicted that Booker would get back to his old ways of playing, his old ways of shooting.
"Devin has to step up a little bit, but this has been a thing," Calipari said. "I think you'll see Devin in the tournament get back to the way he was playing, losing himself in the game. I think there are times he's thinking a little too much because he played so well the expectation was that every shot was going to go in."
For the freshman, it's not that he lacks confidence necessarily, it's that he's frustrated.
"As long as we're winning, I'm fine," Booker said, "but if I'm frustrated it's I'm frustrated with myself because I'm not playing the way that I work so hard to play. If there's frustration it's in myself, if anything."
Shooters just keep shooting and Booker knows that's what he has to do, along with getting back to the basics of his game.
"I just have to get back to fundamentals," he said Thursday night. "I just have to have more confidence in my shot and keep doing what I was doing through the middle of the season. I feel like the next game I'll knock down those shots."
His teammates know that he'll knock down those shots too.
"There are some guys like me, Aaron, Book, we weren't hitting on the offensive side, so obviously you're going to be down on yourself for that," junior forward Willie Cauley-Stein said. "... (Aaron Harrison and Booker), those dudes hit shots all the time. Today they're not hitting. Hopefully Saturday they're hitting."
'They swear I'm Superman or something'
At times this season, Cauley-Stein's athleticism has seemed to be out of this world.
It's not just that the 7-footer can guard all five positions on the floor, including limiting second team All-SEC point guard K.T. Harrell to 1-of-12 shooting, it's the dunks he's thrown down too.
Oh, those dunks.
Against Florida, Cauley-Stein got the feed from Andrew Harrison and took off for one of the best dunks of the entire college basketball season. One game later, Cauley-Stein could have opened up his own personal poster business with the number of jams he threw down at the expense of LSU defenders.
"I still like the whole criticism is, 'I'm soft,' or something like that, so I'm just going to start dunking on people," Cauley-Stein said after Kentucky's 34-point rout of South Carolina on Valentine's Day. "I don't see how you can call me soft if I'm just dunking on people, so that's my whole mentality going into games now."
On Thursday night against 16th seeded Hampton, that mentality was missing, and the result were a few missed bunnies that had Big Blue Nation scratching its collective head.
"They swear I'm Superman or something and I can just fly over everybody," the Olathe, Kan., native said. "I mean, a lot of it I probably could, but you're not thinking of it like that. You're not thinking you can just jump over somebody and dunk it until you actually do it and you're just like, 'OK, well maybe I could do that.' "
That's not to say Cauley-Stein is down on himself. Though he finished 1 for 5 from the floor, he did score seven points, grab a team-high tying 11 rebounds, dish out two assists and block two shots. The missed shots, they'll happen, for Cauley-Stein it's about wiping the slate clean and moving on to the next one.
The example he used after the game went back to just one week prior at the SEC Tournament in Nashville. In the Wildcats' opening game against Florida, Cauley-Stein went 2 for 9 with nine points and four rebounds. He then followed that disappointing performance with 18 points and seven boards against Auburn in the semifinals, 15 points and 10 rebounds against Arkansas in the championship, and SEC Tournament MVP honors when all was said and done.
"You miss four one-footers that you should probably dunk, OK, but I didn't, so you miss some," Cauley-Stein said. "To me, I'm not looking at it, I'm not killing myself on it because I know I'm going to make them. I just happened to miss them tonight."
Getting physical
There's no question that UK has a size advantage at some position in every game they play. When you've got the tallest basketball team in the country that's not all too surprising.
So how do other teams keep their heads above water when facing off with a team fans have compared to the MonStars from Space Jam?
"Teams are going to do whatever they need to do to try to stay with us and try to compete with us," sophomore forward Dakari Johnson said. "And I do think they're going to try to be physical with us, maybe try to get us out of our heads. But we do a good job controlling that and just being physical back."
The Cats aren't unaccustomed to teams trying to push them around a bit. Case in point: Auburn's 7-foot-2 Trayvon Reed getting chippy with 5-9 Tyler Ulis in the semifinals of the SEC Tournament. Between league play and practice, they're pretty familiar with it.
"We're from the SEC so we're kind of use to that with huge bodies," Lee said. "I guess you can see they were really trying to do something like that, but we're kind of used to it."
"In practice we're going at each other too and we're being physical with each other too, so we're prepared for those (things) during the games," Johnson said.
Following the SEC Tournament semifinals, Auburn head coach Bruce Pearl talked about the type of team it would take to beat the, so far, undefeated Cats.
"I think it would need to be a team that would be a big physical club that could be able to withstand their size and their dominance," Pearl said. "It would have to be a great team."
Teams like Georgia, Ole Miss and Texas A&M had enough size to hang with UK, according to Pearl. Those teams each gave the Cats some of their closest contests of the season, with the Rebels and Aggies taking the No. 1 team in the country into overtime and double overtime, respectively.
The Cats know they'll get their opponents' best games and if the opponent starts a slugfest, Booker thinks it'll help push UK to play their best ball.
"A lot of teams have tried that, but we know how to respond to that," he said. "I think that brings the best (out) of us when teams try to be the aggressor first."
Check another first off the list.
It may not have started how many were thinking it would, but it certainly got to that point by the final buzzer as Kentucky cruised to a 79-56 victory over 16th seeded Hampton in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
"It was a good win," UK head coach John Calipari said. "I didn't like how we started the game. I didn't quite like how we finished the game. But it is one o'clock at night, and we had an overtime game where the guys were hanging out in the locker room for an hour and a half. So I'm going to chalk it up to that and move on."
The game Calipari was referring to was the Cincinnati-Purdue matchup that occurred directly before the Cats' game, pushing an originally scheduled 9:40 p.m. tipoff back to 10:18 p.m.
The late night start was no problem for freshman forward Karl-Anthony Towns, who shined for Kentucky (35-0) by scoring a career-high 21 points, grabbing a team-high tying 11 rebounds and blocking three shots. It was the team-leading eighth double-double this season for the Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Year, and further cemented his role as one of Kentucky's go-to scorers.
"(He) played special," freshman guard Devin Booker said. "I'm not surprised at all. I know what Karl's capable of and everyone's seeing it now, that he's basically unstoppable down there."
Facing a team of Hampton's height, whose tallest player was 6-foot-9, Towns showed off his patented baby hook, grabbed rebounds over others, and overpowered just about everyone in his way.
"Karl played really good," Cauley-Stein said. "Had really good touch around the rim today. We could just throw it to him every time. Until they start double-teaming or doing something we were going to continue to throw it in there."
The largest margin of victory in the NCAA Tournament for Kentucky dating back to the 2013 season was UK's seven-point victory over Kansas State in last year's second round. Since then, the Cats had tournament wins of two points, five points, three points, one point and a six-point loss in the national championship to Connecticut.
Thursday's 23-point win, therefore, was a welcome development for these Cats. Kentucky led by as many as 35 with 12:43 remaining in the game, and more or less grinded it out for the remainder of the contest, working on sets and execution in preparation for their next game Saturday.
"Anytime you don't have to play a nail biter is good," Cauley-Stein said. "I hate them. I'm glad we were up by so much because nail biters are not good for my heart."
Early in the first half it didn't necessarily look like it could be a nail biter, but it certainly didn't look like Kentucky's best version of itself.
The Wildcats led just 13-11 with 13:09 remaining in the first half, but then put their feet on the gas by going on a 19-3 run in which they allowed just one made field goal in 9:48 of game time to take a 32-14 lead. Kentucky would later enter the halftime locker room leading 41-22, and the only thing left in question being the final margin of victory.
"We have so many waves of dudes that come in, and they don't get to do their normal stuff," Cauley-Stein said. "Coming in with seven-footers and not being able to shoot shots over bigger defenders. Just the fact that we take them out of their element that they're not used to, it probably grinds them out."
On a day that saw an NCAA Tournament record five games decided by one point, the Cats didn't want to raise that number to six. The players said afterward that they saw the close games and upsets play out during the day as they waited for their game, and it got their full attention.
"Anything can happen," Cauley-Stein said. "They could have come out and all of them just clip 3s on us. Stuff happens like that."
"We know every team is fighting for the last win in March so we have to go in with that mindset and that's what we've been doing and Coach has been stressing that to us every game," Booker said.
Up next for the Cats is a third-round matchup against Cincinnati (23-10) on Saturday at approximately 2:40 p.m. While the Cats say they don't know much about the Bearcats outside of the few minutes they watched in the tunnel Thursday night, Coach Cal said he does think Cincinnati will have something in mind if they watched UK play against Hampton.
"If there are points in this game they watch tonight, they probably have in their mind, we can beat these guys," Calipari said. "The we know every team we play comes in with the idea, I'm telling you we can beat them, and we deal with that every time we play, and I imagine Cincy will come in with the same thing."
It was like Christmas morning, only the Cats had to wait all day to run down the stairs and open their presents for a scheduled 9:40 p.m. start.
"It was really difficult just to be so excited to play and then you have to wait all day and pretty much all night too," Aaron Harrison said.
The wait was almost over as the Cats stood in the tunnel outside their KFC Yum! Center locker room. They watched the final seconds of a matchup between Cincinnati and Purdue tick down, only for the Bearcats' Troy Caupain to hit a game-tying layup as time expired to send the game to overtime.
The presents would have to wait even longer.
"To be honest, we're just all in the locker room stretching, talking, trying to keep each other loose," said Andrew Harrison, who drew playful jabs from teammates after predicting the extra session.
Finally, Cincinnati would pull out the win and Kentucky's second-round matchup with Hampton could begin. When it did at 10:18 p.m., all the anticipation turned into, well, coal.
"We've been excited to play all day and I think it just got that moment and we didn't have a lot of energy," Aaron Harrison said. "It's just tough to wait all day to play."
In spite of the relative dud of a start, the top-seeded Wildcats (35-0) took down Hampton, 79-56, to set up a showdown with those eighth-seeded Bearcats at approximately 2:40 p.m. on Saturday. They still weren't content with the way they played.
"We played really sluggish and just didn't have enough energy, I think," said Aaron Harrison, who missed all five of his field goals and scored three points in an uncharacteristically pedestrian NCAA Tournament performance. "We're of course a young team. We might have not come into the game as focused as we should have."
The Cats started the game 8 of 23 from the field and led by single digits until Karl-Anthony Towns - who was the standout for UK with a career-high 21 points to go with 11 rebounds and three blocks - scored with 5:36 before halftime. The juice that the Cats have come to be known for in blitzing through this college basketball season, outside a crippling 14-0 run to build a 19-point halftime lead, was just never there even though UK led by as many as 35.
The lack of focus, to John Calipari, did not come as a shock.
"You sit in the locker room that long, you kind of know that can happen," Calipari said.
Readily explainable as it may have been, it's unacceptable in his eyes. From this point forward, the games only get tougher. Future opponents, starting with Cincinnati, will be eager to pounce if the Cats suffer a similar lapse.
"One of the things I talked to them after, you're not going to do this on their terms. You can't start games like this," Calipari said. "You can't do things that we talk about every day and you choose to do something else. You can't do things on your terms in this tournament because what happens is you'll have a 12-point lead, and then you'll turn around, and it will be a two-point game."
Hampton was never able to make it a game in that way, as UK won its fifth game in a row by double digits and 28th overall. In spite of that, there was a distinct feeling that the Cats had played a subpar game from most anyone who watched. That's a high standard to live up to, but the Cats don't mind it.
"Not only is it everybody else around, we should expect that out of ourselves too," Devin Booker said. "Coach expects that out of us. He came in here and told us we didn't play our best game and if we keep playing like that it's going to be trouble. We're just focusing on coming out first and being the aggressor."
Booker scored just two points on 1-of-6 shooting, continuing a six-game slump during which he's scored in double figures once and shot 11 of 34 from the field. As ready as Booker might be to return to the sweet-shooting form he showed for much of the season, that kind of thing isn't what Coach Cal is thinking about when he says the Cats played short of their potential.
Shots will miss and shots will fall, but UK cannot get away from what makes it special.
"You can't do stuff on your terms," Calipari said. "You've got to follow the script. Here's how we play. This is what we do. Here's the energy we play with. And we're able to play enough people that, OK, we start the game slow. I may sub earlier. I see it Saturday, I may sub one minute in. Let's go, need more energy. I think these guys will be fine."
So does Aaron Harrison.
"I expected a lot more out of us and I expected a lot more out of myself," he said. "I should have played a lot better as well. But I think everyone will see a different team on Saturday, definitely."

The rising incidence of identity theft has many Americans updating the security settings on their computer, obtaining a copy of their credit reports and watching their mail closely. All of these measures are important and necessary steps to prevent a criminal from compromising a consumer's finances and medical records. But in Americans' haste to ward off a cyber attack or data breach, many forget that thieves may still resort to simple crimes that have costly financial results: old-fashioned purse snatching.
Protecting the information an individual carries around with them is just as important as setting up an anti-virus or malware protection program at home. The elderly, women with children, or consumers carrying around heavy bags from the supermarket are all potential targets that criminals seek out, because they are more vulnerable. Even once an individual realizes they have been robbed and cancelled all their credit cards, the thief may still have enough information - such as name, address, date of birth, health insurance and possibly Social Security number - to obtain financial information.
According to the Chicago Tribune, individuals in a crowd are vulnerable to theft and should make sure any purse or handbag they are carrying is tucked close the body and zipped up completely. Sometimes, draping the purse strap over one's shoulder and wearing a light jacket over it may conceal the purse itself. Both men and women should also pay close attention to their surroundings when opening their wallet or purse in view of others, the newspaper said. Carrying minimal cash and credit cards can also lessen the financial blow in the event of a theft and cut down on the number of cards that must be cancelled.
If a theft occurs, consumers should make sure they take all the necessary steps to prevent the thief from using the information. In addition to contacting the banks to cancel credit cards and filing a report with the police, individuals should request that a fraud alert be placed on their credit report, according to identity theft online resource, IdentityTheftLabs. Fraud alerts will be added to an individual's credit file and require lenders and retailers to take additional steps to verify the identity of anyone that attempts to open or use a line of credit in the victim's name.

Every year more and more companies are releasing algorithms that are getting better at automatically turning that data into simple 3d models. As someone who reduces this "raw" point cloud data by hand, these new methods are both a blessing and a curse in terms of ease of use/job security.
Trucks and planes are not very useful in prehistoric caves.
Since it sounds like it is able to scan a room with a laser and detect the reflections I'd like to see a version that can detect cameras and blind them automatically.
Something like a combination of their system and the spyfinder. [22.214.171.124]
False positives would be no big deal if you've got enough laser sources - its not going to hurt to "blind" a false positive reflection.
People will buy anything that's one to a customer.

Marie writes: If I have a favorite festival, it's SXSW and which is actually a convergence of film, music and emerging technologies. However it's the festival's penchant for screening "quirky" Indie movies which really sets my heart pounding and in anticipation of seeing the next Wes Anderson or Charlie Kaufman. So from now until March, I'll be tracking down the best with the zeal of a Jack Russell terrier! Especially since learning that Joss Whedon's modern B/W take on Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing" is set to screen at SXSW 2013 in advance of its June 21st US release date; they'll cut an official trailer soon, rubbing hands together!

Dr Julius Neubronner's Miniature Pigeon CameraIn 1903, Dr Julius Neubronner patented a miniature pigeon camera activated by a timing mechanism. The invention brought him international notability after he presented it at international expositions in Dresden, Frankfurt and Paris in 1909-1911. Spectators in Dresden could watch the arrival of the camera-equipped carrier pigeons, whereupon the photos were immediately developed and turned into postcards which could be purchased.

Marie writes: If you're like me, you enjoy the convenience of email while lamenting the lost romance of ink and pen on paper. For while it's possible to attach a drawing, it's not the same thing as receiving hand-drawn artwork in the mail. Especially when it's from Edward Gorey..."Edward Gorey and Peter Neumeyer met in the summer of 1968. Gorey had been contracted by Addison-Wesley to illustrate "Donald and the...", a children's story written by Neumeyer. On their first encounter, Neumeyer managed to dislocate Gorey's shoulder when he grabbed his arm to keep him from falling into the ocean. In a hospital waiting room, they pored over Gorey's drawings for the first time together, and Gorey infused the situation with much hilarity. This was the beginning of an invigorating friendship, fueled by a wealth of letters and postcards that sped between the two men through the fall of 1969."

Chris Tillman went 8 IP, 1 ER, 4 baserunners, 9 Ks, lowering his ERA to 3.55 while dropping his 2nd half ERA to 2.14 in 46 1/3 IP. Still, the best thing about him is he doesn't currently have a duet with Nicki Minaj on the radio. He's the one person in the western hemisphere. You are so lucky, eastern hemisphere! Assuming you, Eastern Hemispherers, move to the western hemisphere in the next six months and don't get all of our hand-me-down crap songs next. I lived in London in the fall of 1996, so I had a jumpstart on "Tell me what you want what you really want, what you really really want" by the Spice Girls, then when I moved back home, it just got here. I had a good solid 12 months straight of one stupid Spice Girls song. I called it A Clockwork Spice. Ready for me to tie this in? I bet you are! I was in on Tillman in the preseason the past two years, convinced he could make the jump to fantasy number two. I held him both years in the 1st half, as he got battered around, then in the 2nd half of both years after I dropped him, he buckled down and showed the kind of pitcher he can be. Unlike last year, his peripherals this year are pretty poor — 6.2 K/9, 3 BB/9, 4.31 xFIP. I'd definitely own him while he's going well, but I don't think he's become anything more than a decent fantasy number four to five. Right now, he's a Wannabe. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Brian McCann
Hello, I'm Keith Morrison of Dateline. Today's story is about a young closer who had the life that we all dream about — money, girls, Tony La Russa's private phone number to find out if a product used animal testing. What Trevor Rosenthal didn't have, his shut 'em down stuff. We pick up the story right after Rosenthal took the mound on April 7th. He was in for his third save, but there was something wrong. Could it have been he lost his control? Or was something else lurking deep in his past — perhaps a high school sweetheart who assumed the identity of Rosenthal's favorite Starbucks barista, who was putting Visine in his favorite latte drink. Visine that has been known, when digested, to cause runs. Coming up later, Rosenthal can't find the strike zone for three months, he blows numerous saves, Pat Neshek looks incredible in a setup role and Matheny groans. This is the story of The $12 Salad That Became A Brain Freeze. So, the Cards have been patient with Trevor Rosenthal, even while he hasn't looked good for the majority of the year, but recently he's been hideous. I wouldn't be surprised if the Cards go to Neshek, who has a 0.86 ERA, 0.57 WHIP and four saves already. Yesterday, Seth Maness (no relation to Brandon Guyer) got the save, but that was more because Neshek had thrown already in the game. As for the title, you may not stay…for Trevor stung! Anyway, here's what else I saw this weekend in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Yu Darvish hit the DL with elbow inflammation. In Grey's 2nd half rankings, he said, "BAM! What? (Darvish) should be in the top 20 with the rest of the big-name pitchers, but I'm worried about an injury, so I ranked him much lower and that gets a BAM!" And that's me quoting Grey! Dayum, son, Grey called that one. Sure, he called it so long ago that no one even remembers it, but he called it neverthehoo! Actually sounds a bit like Grey is writing this. Oh, shoot, here he comes! Hey, who wrote those previous, beautifully written sentences? Sure as heck wasn't me! Guess that's what I get for leaving my computer open at a Starbucks while I order a double foam, half-Sanka, half-espresso mocha, goochie, goochie, ya ya latte, LaBelle-style. Well, I told you I had concerns about Darvish and when I have concerns, I make it happen with my mind like some crazy, telekinetic-fantasy-baseball-Scott-Baio-in-Zapped mofo! The Rangers haven't given a timetable for Darvish's return yet, but like I also said in the 2nd half rankings, the Rangers have nothing to play for so they could shut him down. Give him more time with his lady friends. What does Darvish's girlfriend call Yu's erections? YD Bulger, and it's in hiding. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Wada start! Wada player! Wada guy! Tsuyoshi Wada continued to pitch well last night, tossing six innings, allowing just four hits and one walk, while giving up two earned runs and striking out six. He didn't get the win but Wada you gonna do? After dominating AAA earlier in the year (113.2 IP, 2.77 ERA, 120/28 K/BB ratio), he struggled a bit in his second big league outing versus San Diego (4.0 IP, 5 ER, 4 BB, 5 K), but T-Dubs has rebounded since then, letting up just 2 ER or less in his past three starts with a 2.41 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 18/4 K/BB ratio. Maybe you're thinking, Wada crock! But the next level stats don't suggest any regression is coming, although it is a small sample size. His 3.60 xFIP is great, as is his .292 BABIP and 7.7% HR/FB. In addition, his excellent 21.7 K% demonstrates he can be a plenty useful starter for your fantasy leagues. He gets the Brewers next week and I'd take a flier on Tsuyoshi Wada if you are in need of a starter. He's available in over 90% of ESPN and Yahoo! leagues. So Wada you waiting for… pick him up!
Here's what else happened in fantasy baseball Friday night:Please, blog, may I have some more?
When I was growing up, we had a hutch. For the life of me, I couldn't remember what piece of furniture it was that my grandparents used to call a hutch. So, like a child of the naughts, I Googled it. On Wikipedia, it says a hutch is where one prepares an evening tipple. Let me just say, I don't remember anyone in Jersey ever preparing an evening tipple. An evening Sloppy Joe? Sure. An evening 'bang on the side of the TV so the picture would come in?' Yup. An evening 'curse at the neighbors?' Definitely! An evening tipple? Not in my Jersey. But, for the sake of argument, let's all pour ourselves an evening tipple for Drew Hutchison. Last night, he went 8 2/3 IP, 1 ER, 1 Hit, 1 Walk and 8 Ks. See, nothing to it. The only mistake yesterday was a long ball surrendered to Chris Davis (now has back-to-back games with ding-shots). As I said when Hutchison was called up, he could be as great as any pitcher to come up this year. Sadly, it may not be this year that he is great. It's the pickle that is young pitchers. I would own him, shoot, I'd even have a tipple with him, but I wouldn't fully trust him until he has a longer track record. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
I have returned, my good Razzballians, from an excursion I can only describe with great glee. Seriously, school girl level teeheehees were shared as I got our good man Nick Capozzi to pick me up as he started his #32in32in32 tour kicked off in Seattle at the World Sports Grille. Not only did I get to stand next to those awesome vocal cords, but also got to check Tehol Beddict's pad – he's as swag as advertised, bros – and also started a bit of a fling with The Guru as we bunked for a few nights in the same bed. Don't worry, we had a pillow barricade. At least I thought it was one until 'Da Gu' shouted THOSE AREN'T PILLOWS! We live and we learn, right? Just because it's soft and supple, does not appropriate head-rest material make. In either case, my short sojourn across this little part of the bigger trek Nick is doing across the USA went splendtastically. What? I can make up words as I go. You can't hold me back, spell check! Sorry, I'll just wrap up this cross-promo saying there are still some tickets left in cities near you so make sure to check it out. Heck, there'll be one in Cincinnati where – and here's your awkward segue – our pal Danny Salazar gets to take the mound. Now if you know anything about Sky (psst, that's me BTW), you'll know that he loves looking back over the last 7 or 14 days to see how a hitting team is doing. Granted, this isn't the end all, be all of the research involved but let's take for a moment a look at the last seven games for the Reds. Their wOBA? Third worst in the league. Check. Their ISO? First worst in the league. Discount Double check. Joey Votto and Brandon Phillips still on the DL? Triple lutz with a salchow-ending flourish check. Given that Salazar has returned and performed quite well since his stint down on the farm, posting an average of 21.4 DraftKings points over three starts, I'm willing to roll him out there at his reasonably low price of $7,100, which will hopefully save me some cash for another, bigger arm or better yet, bigger, better bats. For me, I plan to release the Czar of the under-priced pitcher on most of my Wednesday lineups. But with that, here are some other picks for August 6th contests…

You know when Shin-Soo Choo (2-for-4, 2 runs and his 10th homer) is hitting homers there's a Dong Party going on. Dong Party is also my lead single off my album, "Who Let In All These Guys?" The CD cover had me dressed like a sailor, begrudgingly hoisting a man for a keg stand. None of this is ringing a bell? That's weird, but it did perform better in Asia than here. Choo hadn't homered since July 4th and only has 4 homers since May 22nd and is hitting .238. Can we say bust? If you can't, you might want to see a speech therapist. Also joining the Dong Party was J.P. Arencibia (3-for-5, 4 RBIs and his 7th homer). That Arencibia is one spicy meatball! You know what one meatball said to another meatball? What's up, metaball? What? No good? Okay, I won't submit it to Highlights. Arencibia has 4 homers in the last eleven games, and has been known to go on a dong run. For those of you who just found us today Googling "dong run." We won't judge you here. Next up, for the Dong Party was Robinson Crusoe. He's got a novel idea. It's about a shipwrecking. Quite the yarn! Chirinos (3-for-5, 3 runs and two homers) has 11 homers on the year, and I've enjoyed owning him in a few two-catcher leagues, but he's hitting .237 and I wouldn't get too excited, especially not while you're at a Dong Party. Finally, arriving at the Dong Party with a homer in the first inning was Adrian Beltre (1-for-4, 2 runs, 2 RBIs and his 16th homer). Getting a bangfizzle at a Dong Party is such a bummer. By the by, Such A Bummer was my follow-up single. Tell me if you want the Sound Cloud link. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Before we jump into the cash-filled DraftKings mosh pit , let your humble-but-nonetheless-handsome Guru pull on your coat about something cool happening here that will change the landscape of fantasy sports forever – The Razzball 32 in 32 in 32 Tour is ready to hit the road. We're talking a 50,000 mile rock and roll all night, party every day, psycho circus of fantasy ballin' madness in full Razzball makeup! Starting next week, Razzball Radio will have shows from all 32 NFL cities and I'll be posting the daily dirt on the football side of things so you can follow along. We hope to meet, greet and tip a few back with the Razz Army. There are still some spots available, so get your tix here and you could win a trip to Vegas with the Razzball crew.
As we hit the dog days of the fantasy baseball season, my bankroll building has stalled. Sure, there's still enough there for that week in Cancun, but I'm aiming for a month of fun in the sun. We've talked a lot of DFS strategy over the course of the season and you can check that here, here, or here. Oops, that last one was a link to gals in yoga pants, my bad. A question I was asked recently was how I feel about stacking teams. If you're familiar with the strategy of stacking, go ahead and skip to the picks, I won't mind, I get paid by the word anyway and just made an extra 38 cents telling you that. If you're unfamiliar with the concept, stacking is grabbing six hitters from the same team – usually the first six batters or two through seven. Generally, in 50/50's or H2H games, I don't stack teams. However, when it comes to tournament play it makes sense to go full-on stack attack mode. Why is it a good strategy? Hitters from the same team facing a bad starting pitcher have their production tied to one another, i.e. the leadoff guy gets a hit, steals second, the next guy singles him in and one of the following big boppers hits a bomb – it's points for everyone, you're on your way to cashing already and it's just the first inning. Generally, I'll enter three different stacks against the three worst pitchers that day and sometimes throw a sneaky stack in there as well. Using the DFSBot to choose your starting pitchers makes sense, but also check who the bot has at the bottom – that's who we are picking on. Usually, at least one of my stack attacks will cash in a tourney. Last night, my A's, Jays and Yankees stacks cashed in eight of 12 contests I entered while the hodge podge team I put together fell flat. Stacking works in tourneys and if you haven't tried it give it a shot tonight here in our Razzball only creatures of the night contest.

I've been forced to travel a lot lately. Today's installment comes to you from the friendly confines of the Denver airport. I just came out of the smoking lounge. People are crazy out here, man. I was excited because I thought all U.S. airports had done away with indoor smoking lounges. I went in, sparked a cig and like 20 people gave me dirty looks until one guy ran over flailing his arms and yelling at me that I was "harshing the whole room's mellow!" I wasn't bothering anyone! Whatever. I left. I guess that's why they got rid of the indoor smoking lounges. People go crazy in there. I feel tingly after being in there for only 30 seconds. Anyway, on to Draftkings!
Today's bold prediction: The Washington Nationals will be kicking the Rox all over the place today. Not bold enough? It gets bolder. (or Boulder?) Jordan Zimmermann at $8,800 is worthy of starting today. I'm recommending to start a pitcher in Coors Field. And as such, I shall start my obituary as a DFS writer… Yes, I understand how risky Coors is for pitchers and I'm slightly ok with it anyway. Zimmerman has owned the Rockies in his career and he's not afraid to pitch in Coors. Over the past 3+ seasons, Zimmerman is 2-0 with a 2.13 ERA at Coors Field. He's sporting his best K rates of his career and the Rockies are cold and injured. Tulowitzki is doubtful for today's game, and if he's out I'll roll out Zimmerman. Cuddyer is out and Arenado and CarGo just came back from injuries and haven't gotten it going.
I'm also gonna stack Washington hitters today. Which Nats players you ask? If he's in the starting lineup for the Nats today, I'd stack him. Yep any of em. I don't care who it is. Name him, I'd stack him. That sounds dirty, but it isn't. It's ok. Just do it. If you haven't stacked yet, today is your day. This one is so luscious. The entire lineup is hot right now. They're in Coors. Yohan Flande. Yohan Flande? Yohan Flande! That was fun.
Speaking of fun… join a bunch of Razzballers for a friendly 20 team league over at DraftKings. I've added to the fun by paying out the top 5. If you're signing up for the first time, make sure to use our link to sign up. Think of it as voting for your favorite fantasy site! Don't wanna play with us small timers? Well try the big time tourney with a $20 buy-in for the $100K pot by clicking here. Top prize gets $20K. That could afford you a couple of nights in Paris! I'm sure she could use the publicity at this point, anyway.
We're gonna need to find ways to afford all those expensive Nats hitters. The DFSBot has been impressively accurate in predicting player values. Make sure you put it to use in your favor and check your starting lineups prior to first pitch. Here's a few guys I recommend as well:Please, blog, may I have some more?
As I mentioned in my first/intro OPS post, we're looking at OPS differential by using expected (x)Homerun and expected (x)BABIP differentials. If you like Captain Planet or laser beams, or want to understand my general approach, then I recommend a gander. If you provide your email below, I can furnish the full list that you can sort. Wordpress doesn't allow me to copy and paste it all pretty for you.
Let's start with my xHR formula (PA*Ct%*OFFB%*HR/OFFB%). Here are the top 10 guys likely to drop off from a HR perspective: Albert Pujols, Adam Jones, Justin Morneau, Alexei Ramirez, Mark Reynolds, Charlie Blackmon, Ian Desmond, Brett Lawrie, Hunter Pence and Salvador Perez.
Here are the top 35 guys likely to drop off from a BABIP perspective that you actually might own (meaning I'm excluding the Martin Maldonados of the world): Josh Rutledge, Justin Ruggiano, A.J. Pollock, Josh Hamilton, Stephen Vogt, J.D. Martinez, J.J. Hardy, Eugenio Suarez, Hunter Pence and Matt Adams.
Looking at both xHR and xBABIP differentials, here are guys you might own that I would consider selling in OPS leagues based on their expected vs. actual OPS (the differential is in parenthesis just like this statement. See what I did here?):Please, blog, may I have some more?

A small group of enthusiasts began building the Village in 1978. Over the years since it has become a 'must visit' attraction for the town of Wagin and is the recipient of Tourism and Volunteer Awards.
The Wagin Historical Village offers visitors the opportunity to step back in time in a village setting that replicates the development of a typical rural Australian community over the last two hundred years.
Nowhere else in Western Australia is there a more comprehensive collection of fully restored and replica rural buildings, machinery and equipment that is open 7 days a week all year round. The village exists today through the efforts of an entirely volunteer organization.
The interiors of the 24 buildings contain original furniture and equipment gathered by their volunteer workforce from many local rural communities. All are displayed in realistic settings with audio commentaries available in many of the major displays.
Not only is the Wagin Historical Village a major tourist attraction, but it also serves to profile the social history of their community with displays featuring local families, pioneers and their lifestyles.
The Village is also a valuable resource for researchers and is frequently visited by school groups seeking to educate and inform their younger generation of the pioneering lifestyle of the early local families.
The Wagin Historical Village also functions as their Tourist Information Centre, offers morning and afternoon teas, pioneer lunches, souvenir and book sales and is entirely staffed and run by volunteers.
The Village
The Kiosk was built of local stone by volunteers in 1980.
The Village Church... ring the bell! Plaques on the jarrah honor boards list the names of many of their pioneer families. The first church to be built in Wagin was the Catholic Church, which was finished in 1894. Prior to that religious services were conducted in homes or in the local hotel. Now head across the bridge.
Mrs Stevens Cottage is a replica of the 1880's cottage shown in the photograph near the door. Called wattle and daub this form of building used materials at hand – posts, wattle for the roof and mud for the cracks. Mrs Stevens, the owner, was a laundress. Go through the cottage and out the back.
The Mia Mia or Wurley was a temporary shelter that Aborigines built near food or water. The local Aborigines were Nyoongars.
The Bag Tent was often the first "house" of settlers and was made by stitching together hessian bags and throwing them over a frame. The photograph (1907) at the entry shows Fred Black and his bag tent. Walk thru tent to the Woolshed.
The Woolshed houses a fleecing table and a worm screw press. A boy would sit on top of the press and turn the screw to press the wool into the bale. Sheep were washed in a creek to remove vegetable matter from the wool before shearing which was done with blades.
The Stables and Cowshed house a variety of saddles and implements including a chaff cutter for making stock food from hay and a cow bale where a cow could be held secure while it was milked. Note the loading ramp, the bone crusher and the mechanism for powering the chaff cutter.
The Chook Yard a feature of most early backyards is home to their silky bantam hens.
The Machinery Shed houses all sorts of farm machinery from the past. Note the oldest tractor here a 1927 Fordson, and the horse drawn Mellors Mite harvester.
The Orderly's Cottage, moved here from the Wagin hospital in 2001, has been restored and houses artifacts from the hospital. Built as the hospitals quarantine room in 1911, it was used as an X-ray room and a storeroom in the '30's and '40's, as an orderly's room in the '50's and in the 1990's as a garden shed. Now move across to..
The Norring Hall was moved to the Village in 1986 from near Lake Norring where it was a school, a church and a community hall. It houses a large collection of bottles, some fascinating early household machinery and stories of pioneer women. Its time to do some milking…
The Farm Dairy built of wattle thatch, houses separators which separated cream from milk. Most people made their own butter until after WW2. Many women made a little extra money buy selling their butter at the Wagin Co-op. There is a grain grister, used to grist grain for porridge and a Coolgardie Safe, which was invented in the WA Goldfields to provide cool storage. The water dripped onto the hessian from the tray at the top and cooled the air within the safe. The hanging safe was for the storage of meat.
The Mallee Root Shed shows early settler recycling. Roots of trees were hand picked after clearing and burning paddocks so they would be clean enough to crop. The roots were used for firewood but also to make a variety of buildings, which were then thatched with wattle. This shed stores an old wagon. Mallee roots are in short supply now. Your horse needs shoeing so move to….
Prossers Blacksmiths. A blacksmith began working in Wagin in 1891. In this blacksmith's shop everything still works. The large hand bellow was used to fire the forge before mechanized blowers became available. Now head across the yard via the shed housing the stationary engines to…
The Village Hall. Note the rock collection, the dolls (oldest rag doll, 1870) & the marvelous collection of photographs, which include those of the tallest radio antennae in Australia – 6 WF, Wagin, built in 1936. Cross the lawn to…
The Dunny – an outside toilet, lavatory, outhouse or loo used well into the 1950's.
The Boyerine School House is an original, which was moved to this site from Boyerine, 30kms south of Wagin, in 1982. This sort of school was usually in a paddock and quite isolated. Teachers and children came to school on foot, by horse, horse and cart or bicycle. Horses were "parked" under a tree with a nosebag to feed from. Note the desks with their inkwells and the manuscripts books in which children practiced writing. And right next door....
The National Bank building was transported here from Woodanilling where it was in use till 1981. You can read the news...
The Wagin Newspaper 1905 houses early printing equipment still in working order. The first "Argus" was printed in Wagin in 1905 and is still issued weekly.
Jack's Mud Bat Cottage is made from 1000 bats (bricks). The mud for such buildings would have come from a nearby creek. The form, or mould, for making the bricks is outside the door. Cross over the lawn to make a phone call…
The Wagin Post Office houses early telephone equipment. Wagin's first post office (1890) was on the site of the present post office. A telegraph office was added in 1901 and a house mail delivery service began in 1907. You can see lots next door in …
Piesse's Trading Post or General Store houses many artifacts which would have been in the first trading post in Wagin which was established in 1889 by F & C Piesse whose descendants still live in the area. Note the pharmacy "booth". Need a new hat?…
Miss Lizar's Dressmakers Shop has examples of clothing from the last 100 years. Need a shave or shampoo?…
Norm's Thompsons Barber's Shop was for men only. Here you see examples of furniture used – and photos of early Wagin football teams. The first barber's shop in Wagin opened in 1898 and did a brisk business, as the rail became established and new settlers moved to the district. Maybe today is the day for a Devonshire?…
The Glenalbyn Tea Rooms was a feature of country towns and was a social center for people who were in town to shop and conduct business. Devonshire teas are served on weekends.
We prefer their best bathroom remodeling NYC services over any other in the area.

2 star hotel near beachPosted Feb 26, 2015
Very disappointing. The photographs of the hotel shown in the website is misleading. It appears to be a posh hotel but actually a very run down hotel, looks like a few old apartment converted to hotel and a few blocks connected together. Staff were unfriendly. I booked the hotel at the rate with 'seaview'. But upon entering the room, I noticed that my room was without seaview, blocked by roof and facing a miserable small swimming pool. I asked the hotel since I have paid a higher rate with seaview, she just told me that there was no room available. I then realized that that they had earlier changed my room without my permission, from 503 to 109 as shown by the handwriting in the breakfast coupon. I told the staff that they should charge me a lower rate but she just kept silence. I requested for the room change for the next day. She said she would speak to her manager. The next morning, I was told that no room was available. I was utterly disappointed. Breakfast was bland and not much variety. The TV power cord in my room was loose. Every day, I have to adjust the power cord before I could turn on the TV. I told my friends and colleagues not to stay in this hotel. Sorry to say that but that's my honest opinion.

great location and roomPosted Apr 8, 2013 on Hotels.com
Room was clean and comfortable; we booked a Superior Ocean View room and we were very happy with it. Staff was friendly and helpful. Location was perfect for walking around town and it is right on the Ao Nang Beach. Breakfast left a lot to be desired. Even thought it was included in the cost of the room we choose to eat breakfast at the Black Canyon Coffee shop just down the street. We would stay here again, besides the breakfast the experience was very nice.

DISSAPPOINTEDPosted Mar 4, 2013
Pros: Breakfast was great with a great view.
Cons: Leaking sink and associated smell.
Location: Great location with any easy walk to anything in Ao Nang
The bed may as well as been a bunch of rocks and we had to get a number of blankets to cover the mattress to make it bearable. The sink in the bathroom leaked and gave the room a musty smell.Everyday for our 7 nights we had to chase up towels , water or something. Staff were always apologetic but it was simply not up to standard Breakfast was great in a great location.

Dåligt underhållen pool. Flera lösa mosaikplattor och obefintlig fogmassa. Endast ett fåtal solstolar och ännu färre madrasser. Rummet helt ok på fjärde vån. med fin utsikt men dåligt med garderobsutrymme och få lådor.Rummet kändes litet endast ett sängbord men bra dusch och toalett med betonggolv!! Trevligt med frukost nere vid stranden. Tveksamt om det var prisvärt?

Pruning Ann Raspberries which have formed buds
Ok, so I understand that I am supposed to prune my Ann raspberry canes to the ground in the late winter or early spring. Well I went out today to prune them and my fruit bearing canes have some green buds growing on them.
Is there any harm in cutting these down to the ground at this point because they are technically not dormant.
I never cut them down, I like harvesting two crops. But it certainly won't hurt the plant to remove them. Anybody that tells you you're supposed to cut them down doesn't know what they are talking about. You can, it's an option to only harvest one crop, but "supposed to" No! You certainly can leave them and enjoy a summer harvest, just cut the top 1/3 off that fruited last fall. You may find the summer crop is actually bigger, since 2/3 of the plant didn't fruit, only the top. I average about 100 berries per cane for the summer crop.

Strawberry Shortcake Table
I found these strawberry plates at the TS and used them to set a new table.
For the CP I used the Strawberry Shortcake dolls and toys that were my youngest DD's and now are in the toybox for the DGK's.
The flatware was from Ross, and the red striped glasses are from an old picnic basket. The goblets, plates, chargers, napkins, and tablecloth are all TS.
The green plates under the strawberry plates were also TS.
Dessert anyone??
OK, I'm callin' this table by it's true colors ~~~CUTSIE!!! I mean, Candy, how can anyone use Strawberry Shortcake dollbabies & not be 'cutsie! So sweet & your checkered red t'cloth is perfect w/it all! Love the dinner & salad plates pattern! & what are those lil' sweet strawberries in front of each place setting (toys, too)? Oh, this table just makes me smile! TFS! Jeanne S.
Candy, this table is adorable. Love your new strawberry plates. The strawberry candles are the cutest and so is your DD's Strawberry Shortcake dolls and toys for the cp. We still have DD's SS doll from the 80's too.
Yep, it's cutsie as Jeanne called it.
This is what I'm going to call a HAPPY TABLE. Love it!!
The tc sets a perfect feeling , the strawberry plates were a great find and you used just the right accent pieces. The centerpiece is icing on the cake so to speak.
Candy, The red and white checked tc is the perfect backdrop for this sweet table!
The green plates accent the strawberry plates perfectly.
Using the Strawberry Shortcake dolls for the center piece was brilliant!!
Once again a wonderful Candy Shot.
I agree with Karen, chocolate covered strawberries sound pretty darn good!!
What a fun idea! I really like the strawberry design on those plates, so pretty and yummy looking. Great idea to use the dolls, hope you have grandkids to share this one with, although it would bring out the "kid" in anyone and make them feel happy. Luvs
Jeanne, yes, the little strawberry shortcakes are part of the toys. Yup, I agree, it is cutsie and makes me smile too!
Punk, I can't believe how many of the dolls I still have and their little bitty shoes too, LOL! I remember some of their names, but not all of them.
MM, it makes me happy too. I had to do some digging in the toybox to find the daisy top for the strawberry trolley, but eventually found it.
Karen, the experts recommend eating more fruits and veggies, so I think a chocolate dipped strawberry counts as a fruit, LOL.
Nana, not only is the tablecloth just plain fun, but it is fabric that I can pretty much just shake out the wrinkles!! Bonus!!
Luvs, the DGK's are the reason I still have the dolls, although the boys aren't really interested in them, go figure!
Thanks everybody. Not only was it a fun table to create, it was fun just to look at it.

I have a plant I put at the side of the house a couple years ago and forgot about! It's under some trees (Berkeley, CA), and every time I go over there I am stunned at how beautiful it is! I thought it would be fun to post a couple photos, especially since it is blooming. The flowers remind me of baby birds begging for food!

Awesome V12 Monster diesel engine Awake and Alive startup
Awesome V12 Monster diesel engine Awake and Alive startup
The first V-type engine (a 2-cylinder vee twin) was built in 1889 by
Daimler, to a design by Wilhelm Maybach. By 1903 V8 engines were being
produced for motor boat racing by the Société Antoinette to designs by
Léon Levavasseur, building on experience gained with in-line four-cylinder
engines. In 1904, the Putney Motor Works completed a new V12 marine racing
engine -- the first V12 engine produced for any purpose.[2] Known as the
'Craig-Dörwald' engine after Putney's founding partners, the engine
mounted pairs of L-head cylinders at a 90 degree included angle on an
aluminium crankcase, using the same cylinder pairs that powered the
company's standard 2-cylinder car. A single camshaft mounted in the central
vee operated the valves directly. As in many marine engines, the camshaft
could be slid longitudinally to engage a second set of cams, giving valve
timing that reversed the engine's rotation to achieve astern propulsion.
"Starting is by pumping a charge into each cylinder and switching on the
trembler coils. A sliding camshaft gave direct reversing. The camshaft has
fluted webs and main bearings in graduated thickness from the largest at
the flywheel end."[3] Displacing 1,119.9 cuin (18,352 cc) (bore and stroke
of 4.875" x 5" (123.8 x 127 mm)), the engine weighed 950 pounds (430 kg)
and developed 150 bhp (110 kW). Little is known of the engine's
achievements in the 40-foot hull for which it was intended, while a scheme
to use the engine to power heavy freight vehicles never came to
fruition.[2] One V12 Dörwald marine engine was found still running in a
Hong Kong junk in the late-1960s.
Two more V12s appeared in the 1909-10 motor boat racing season. The Lamb
Boat & Engine Company of Clinton, Iowa built a 1,558.6 cuin (25,541 cc
(5.25" x 6" (133.4 x 152.4 mm)) engine for the company's 32-foot Lamb IV.
It weighed in at 2,114 pounds (959 kg). No weight is known for the massive
3,463.6 cuin (56,758 cc) (7" x 7.5" (177.8 x 190.5 mm)) F-head engine built
by the Orleans Motor Company. Output is quoted as "nearly 400 bhp (300
By 1914, when Panhard built two 2,356.2 cuin (38,611 cc) (5" x 10" (127 x
254 mm)) engines with four-valve cylinder heads the V12 was well
established in motor boat racing.[2]
In automobiles, V12 engines have not been common due to their complexity
and cost. They are used almost exclusively in expensive sports and luxury
cars because of their power, smoother operation and distinctive sound.

Ninjasonik "Mosh Pit": Song Premiere
Get ready to dive off the stage and jump into Ninjasonik's new single "Mosh Pit," the first offering from the Brooklyn act's second LP Peter Pan Syndrome (due out September 20). We've got the bombastic jam after the jump — and even better, you can download it for free between now and Monday morning. After that it will be made available on iTunes starting next week. (Note that the lyrics teeter toward NSFW at one point.)
Ninjasonik tore it up last weekend by performing at Bamboozle in a line up that included Das Racist, Big Sean, Chiddy Bang, XV and New Boyz.
