Source: Dodgers eyeing Zack Greinke
The Los Angeles Dodgers were closing in Saturday on signing the top free-agent pitcher on the market, Zack Greinke, a source told ESPN.
The deal is worth approximately $147 million over six years, a source told ESPN.
More From ESPN.com
Six years and almost $150 million for starter Zack Greinke? Sure, why not! For these Dodgers, money is no object, Jayson Stark writes. Story
The time likely will come when the Dodgers regret this spending frenzy, but why let that spoil a good holiday party, Mark Saxon asks. Blog
The Rangers lost out on Greinke, so where do they turn to next to fill an hole in their starting rotation? Richard Durrett takes a look. Blog
• SportsNation: Weigh in via PollCenter
• Stats & Info: Evaluating Greinke
The contract will pay Greinke more than the $144 million extension Cole Hamels signed with the Philadelphia Phillies in July, and will be the largest ever for a right-handed pitcher.
In total dollars, Greinke's new deal would be the second most lucrative in history for a pitcher, trailing only the original $161 million deal signed by CC Sabathia in 2009.
Grienke will also have a full opt-out clause in his new deal, a source told ESPN. He will not have a no-trade clause, but the right-hander can opt out after the first year if he is traded.
The Dodgers had been widely viewed as the favorite to sign the 29-year-old Greinke, a one-time Cy Young Award winner, until recent days, when the Texas Rangers emerged as an equally strong suitor for the right-hander.
In fact, as recently as Thursday, on the final day of the winter meetings, Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti appeared greatly discouraged by the course his team's negotiations with Greinke and his agent, Casey Close, had taken.
Asked if he was on the "doorstep" of acquiring Greinke, Colletti replied: "We're not on the front lawn. ... We're barely out of the car at the curb. It's better than driving around the neighborhood looking for the house. We know where the house is located. We just can't seem to get out of the car."
The Rangers have been informed they are out of the running for Greinke, a source told ESPN.
Greinke compiled a 15-5 record with a 3.48 ERA and 200 strikeouts in a 2012 season he split between the Milwaukee Brewers and Los Angeles Angels.
The Dodgers prioritized starting pitching shortly after the season ended, with the intention of finding a No. 2 and, maybe, a No. 3 starting pitcher to slot behind ace Clayton Kershaw.
The team viewed Greinke as clearly the best pitcher on the market, with Anibal Sanchez a distant second. In recent days, the Dodgers had grown discouraged by what they viewed as an astronomical asking price on Greinke, but apparently his representatives lowered their sights in the past 36 hours.
The Men With The Golden Guns
Zack Greinke's reported deal of $147 million over six years would make him the second-highest paid pitcher by total value in baseball history.
|Contract value
|CC Sabathia

|Zack Greinke
|Cole Hamels

|Matt Cain
|Barry Zito
-- ESPN Stats & Information
The team has a 5 p.m. ET Sunday deadline to come to terms with left-hander Ryu Hyun-jin or he would return to pitch in his native South Korea and the Dodgers would be refunded their $25.7 million posting fee. If the Dodgers can reach a deal with Ryu's agent, Scott Boras, their offseason work would be all but complete.
Depending what happens with Ryu and a couple of recovering pitchers, the Dodgers now could be in position to deal a couple of veteran starting pitchers, with Chris Capuano and Aaron Harang the most likely names to be moved. The team isn't sure whether Chad Billingsley and Ted Lilly, both of whom are recovering from arm injuries, will rejoin its rotation next season.
Los Angeles took on more than $300 million in salary obligations in a series of trades last July and August that brought Hanley Ramirez from the Miami Marlins and Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford and Josh Beckett from the Boston Red Sox, among others.
The driving force for all their spending is a massive TV deal the team is in the process of negotiating. The Dodgers are in discussions with at least two media companies about a new package that could bring them somewhere in the neighborhood of $6 billion over the next 25 years, according to reports.

LATHROP - The only way historically to have a home in the Central Valley with a sweeping view of either the San Joaquin River or Sacramento River is to have a home elevated and hugging a levee.
Three of the four incumbents are seeking re-election in the Manteca Unified school board race.
LATHROP – J. "Chaka" Santos, a Lathrop businessman and entrepreneur and, lately, a candidate for mayor in the Nov. 2 elections, told the City Council Monday night that he'd rather have the Community Center gym named after any of the long-time residents rather than basketball great and 2010 NBA Coach of the Year Scott Brooks.
LATHROP – It was about two years ago that Lathrop High first opened its doors to a student body consisting of 456 freshmen and sophomores.
Bad debt from Manteca's municipal utility accounts has tripled in the past two years to $261,594.
Seven -year-old Jack Bellew has already made his mark on the world with some 100 people showing up Saturday night at Isadore's Restaurant to help raise funds to send his snack packs to troops serving overseas.
The two-story brick building complete with Spanish-style roof tile at the point of the triangle-shaped block across from Library Park where Manteca and Sycamore avenues connect at one time was the pride of Manteca.
Those hoping to take home the crown of either Manteca Idol of Manteca Junior Idol only have two days to make sure that they're ready.
Manteca High students will welcome a new look to the Dawson Center.
LATHROP - Get ready to go for a spin this October in a pumpkin.
Add a little of this, and a dash of that, and pretty soon you have something that will help feed hungry families in more ways than one.
Manteca's municipal coffers are about to come into some much needed cash - $940,000 to be exact - from the sale of two city-owned properties.
The lazy days of summer aren't something that 12-year-old Ricky Artery is going to miss.
The Manteca High Class of 1945 was a close-knit group of 70 kids that frequented the Scoop News stand on West Yosemite Avenue with their eyes on the ice cream bar. The El Rey Theatre that had opened eight years earlier in 1937 was their other focus for fun and entertainment.
A 7-year-old has turned the heads of many adults after he launched his own campaign to send snack packs to American G.I.s overseas in battle torn countries during the last seven months.
Leonardo Resendiz made a methodical point in the shooting death of a mock trial that's long been a staple of Joe Waller's Careers in Law Enforcement classes.
There's a leak at Lathrop City Hall.
It looks like almost early summer on the Stanislaus River watershed.
They are Weston Ranch's power couple. But Dale and Jill Fritchen don't see themselves as such, and never have.
The working alignment for the contentious proposed extension of a dry levee south of Manteca is directly behind parcels on the north side of Fig Avenue between Airport Way and Oleander Avenue.
Kai Burburn rocks back and forth nervously on the lip of the bowl at the new Lathrop skate park.
Free Weston Ranch. That's the rallying cry of this small community in South West Stockton.
The second annual Mother &Son Dance at St. Anthony of Padua School will be held Friday, Feb. 6, from 6 to 9 p.m.
Manteca's next municipal building could go up on Daniels Street.
Manteca in 2014 had its biggest year for single family housing starts in eight years.
It took less than a week for a jury to convict Michael Roessler in the murder of 51-year-old rural Manteca Michael Lawrence.
The Manteca Kindred Arts has been bringing top-notch musicians of national and international caliber to Manteca for nearly three decades. Perhaps less known is the fact the non-profit organization has been offering other entertainment options every year for the public's gastronomical pleasure, among other things.
Public employee retirees are living longer.
Maddy Hudson made the cut.

It can be scary when a friend develops an eating disorder. Here's what you can do:
1. Learn as much as you can about eating disorders before confronting her.
2. Tell her you are concerned about her and suspect she might have an eating disorder. Offer specific observations like, "I heard you throwing up in a bathroom stall twice last week."
3. Suggest she be evaluated by an expert. It's doubtful she'll be receptive but important that you tell her.
4. Hand her a list of resources:
The Renfrew Center, www.renfrew.org
National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders, www.anad.org
National Eating Disorders Association, www.edap.org
Academy for Eating Disorders, www.aedweb.org
6. Tell a professional (nurse, guidance counselor, coach, teacher) that you suspect your friend has an eating disorder.
7. Realize you've done what you can. You can't force help on someone who doesn't want it.

Clematis Tangutica Zone ?
Hi there - I have bought some Clematis tangutica seeds from one company that said it is hardy to zone 4. But over the weekend I was perusing another seed catalogue that says it is only hardy to zone 6. Does anyone know for sure?? Has anyone else noticed such annoying discrepancies when giving hardiness zones?
Many thanks,
I have seen the same incorrect zone information printed in books - both zone 6 and zone 4 are sheer nonsense for this species.
A poster on the Far North forum has found it to be hardy in zone 0B (northern Manitoba) - see her account towards the bottom of the attached thread.
Here is a link that might be useful: Far North thread
Believe me - the zone ratings for a great number of species are inaccurate with respect to the minimum (coldest) zone. It's a good idea to simply ask for other people's experiences with a certain species (as you've done in this case). Also, keep in mind that with less-common species, you might be one of the first actually trying it in a colder zone - that is, if no one has tried it below zone 4, then why should zone 4 be assumed to be the lowest zone?
I think where the book was written and published can also come into play on occasion. For example, a book written in the U.K. may list some plants that are hardy to zone 3, but as most of the United Kingdom is zone 8 or warmer, what do they care if they mistakenly list a zone 2 plant as zone 5?
Yes, on occasion - though I have British books that are quite accurate on zone ratings (perhaps because the author has a sense of the natural range of the species and/or a broad knowledge base and/or puts the effort into research). And I've seen Canadian publications (books and magazines) make the same errors - and if the authors and/or editors don't know better from their own experience, they should at least do the research, rather than just copy the zone ratings that were published in the books that predated their own. (Whew, will I ever give this a rest, LOL!)
Hi - I've grown this clematis in Denver, CO - zone 4/5. It's very hardy and invasive; be prepared to find it everywhere, and as whitedove sez, give it somethong sturdy to grow on. Despite its thugish tendencies, it is quite lovely. J

I am a dairy farmer, I find the behavior of the NZ Government and Fonterra repugnant and embarrassing. The material provided by them to date, while I believe it to be accurate, does not mitigate the lack of empathy with our customers and ultimately our consumers. We do our very best to produce great milk for our consumers and I feel so let down by Fonterra management and the Government.

A lady in Canada reportedly lost her health benefits for depression after uploading some photos of herself looking happy on Facebook.
November 22, 2009 1:38 by kippreport
A Canadian woman, who has been on sick leave from her job in IBM for the last year because of depression, said that she lost her insurance benefits after her agent found photos of her having fun on Facebook.
When Nathalie Blanchard, 29, asked her insurance agency Manulife, why she suddenly stopped receiving payments, the company said that she had posted several pictures on Facebook showing that she was enjoying herself. The photos showed her at a bar, celebrating her birthday and sun-bathing. Based on this, Manulife said that she was not depressed anymore.
Blanchard told Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) television that the insurance company insists "[she's] available to work, because of Facebook."
However, Manulife said in a statement that "we would not deny or terminate a valid claim solely based on information published on websites such as Facebook."
The incident shows the increasingly prominent role that social networking sites like Facebook are playing in our daily life. Last week, a man in Dubai was charged in court of dishonoring his ex-employee on the site.
Has Facebook become more of a bane than a boon? Are we being judged more on the basis of what exists on our page than who we are?

Wow to know that insurance company use facebook to check on you.
Well im an asian, and most of us protect our pix against strangers on all internet platforms…but if you keep all your information and life story out in the open for the whole world to see, there are bound to be peeping toms and curious georges who have no business seeing them – starting to comment on them and affect your life.
so its totally upto each individual – how much they want to share about themselves with the rest of the world !
Did she friend her insurance agent????
I've read several news articles and researched for additional details before coming to a conclusion.
I'm sorry to say this, but it sounds like to me that this woman is just lazy. Anyone who really had a depression [or other mental] problem would NOT be posting photos on facebook, much less continuing to post photos on facebook. This whole "I have a depression problem" is just one that ANYONE can fake.
Now as for the argument of how facebook profiles should have been locked and private… there is NO such thing as keeping things "safe" and locked on the net. ANYTHING that gets posted or sent [yes that includes EMAIL] through the net STAYS on the net. I've known this simple FACT for years.
As for the insurance company being "in the wrong" to snoop and discontinue her benefits… I'm sorry, but they have every right to know if someone is handing them a line a sh!t just to get free money out of the deal. There ARE people out there who REALLY do need and deserve to have health insurance, but don't get it because of individuals like this woman who make it bad for everyone else. I commend the insurance company for buckling down and I wish that other leeching individuals would get caught and cut off too.
Bottom line: it doesn't pay to be a thief, liar, lazy, money moocher. Let this be a lesson for anyone who thinks it's ok to suck on the system while others pay their hard earned money for it. IBM would be wise to not allow the woman to come back to the job. Instead, they should tell her to take a hike, as this story I'm sure will have some sort of bad reflection on the corporation. If this woman is capable of going to a beach weekly and capable of going to night clubs to see male dancers, then she's most certainly capable of working a normal job like a normal human being.
Don't feel sorry for con artists. They're good at sucking people dry of their money.

Arrival in London
... the equipment. That was a bit frustrating. We then had to figure out how to use the underground subway to get to Nick and Dee's place. My first experience on the subway! According to Eli it's one of the oldest subways in the world. Finally, we got to step outside of the airport into London's summer - it was overcast and drizzling - welcome to English Summer!!
We had to catch a couple of different trains to get to Hanwell Broadway which, we thought, was the closest stop to ...
My Departure
So the day has finally arrived and its time to say goodbye to my nearest and dearest! The bag still has a few bits to go in, so I'll be lucky if I can actually get it shut! Mixed emotions of excitement and nerves, but overall the excitement is taking over. Looking forward to the many adventures ahead and the beautiful sights we will see. So with money, passport and camera at the ready, I'm ready to set off on the trip of a life time!!! ...

Tapas are small, which is why you feel so big and powerful when eating them. Feed your forthcoming growth spurt with this Groupon.
$15 for $30 Worth of Spanish Cuisine for Dinner
Guests sup from a menu of fine Spanish dishes, such as tapas of chorizo al infierno flambéed in brandy ($9) and manchego cheese with quince ($9), or they can dine on main courses such as chuleton de cerdo, a pork chop with red pepper in a Pedro Ximénez reduction ($17), and paella marinera with fish, shrimp, octopus, mussels, clams, and scallops ($36).
Dinner is served Tuesday–Sunday, 5 p.m.–11 p.m.
El Bodegón Tapas & Wine
While there's no exact English equivalent of the word "bodegón," it roughly translates to "tavern" or "wine cellar"⎯a place where neighbors and friends sip wine and share laughs over plates of Spanish tapas. So at El Bodegón, head chef Alexis Marinez uses his decade and a half of restaurant experience to whip up a menu featuring dishes from the Iberian peninsula, such as small plates of cheese and charcuterie, pan-seared chicken, grilled skirt steak, and light, flaky mahi and grouper. He also stocks imported wines and beers to pair with his food, to ensure an authentic dining experience. Far more than a trendy tapas joint, El Bodegón prides itself on its warm, family atmosphere and wealth of potential material for a heartwarming sitcom, with Alexis' sister Jackie Mendez and mother Nadine Lopez serving as co-owners and managers. As guests dig into pots of seafood or chicken paella and savor imported Spanish olives and Manchego cheese, musicians set a relaxing mood by strumming harps and classical guitars, while clay tile floors, brick walls, and arch-bordered alcoves exude a charming, rustic air.
The Gist
What some people are buzzing about:

Liliana EL.
Another chance just abdicated
Didn't know why at the time
Guess it's just what was easiest
At the time
That time
Thought so much
Maybe over-processed
Stuck like a flickering light
Took action
I don't think my decision was right
Being who I want to be
Doing what I tell myself I need
After all this time
It's still not easy
To understand why things are the way they are
The identity of people
The nature of situations
Why I do all these things that I do
Why don't I just do all that I should
All that I could and do want to
Why we're scared, unsure, and so reserved from that which we are not used to
Things that are changes and totally new
Why so biased with a negative view
Why don't I take my chances and run
And accomplish all that I know I could
Don't know why I need have these conversations
With myself
In my head
Don't know why I am all alone
When I want to be surrounded
In a crowd
I call mine
Where I'm the star
And I shine
Not the center of attention
Just a piece so recognized
Popular, intelligent
Gorgeous with that hair and fashion
Incredibly friendly
So kind and helpful
Totally outgoing
Always wearing that smile
Dancing around
Prancing around
Mastering art and language
Sarcasm and flattery
Flashing satisfaction
A vibrant air surrounds
All eyes go to her
cuz she's the coolest around
She's such a mystery
Don't know what to think
Heard that she is smart and slutty
But also heard that she's the opposite of these
Heard she's a total flirt crushing on 12 guys
Heard she is so reserved
Won't go out at night
Heard she goes around gossipping about everybody's lives
Heard she is so quiet and barely has a life
Passes as a know-it-all but she don't know a thing at all
Trying too hard
Overdoing her act
Yes, I am struggling
But I'm sincere as a matter-of-fact
I don't need your approval or acceptance
I just need to brighten this life

Kathy Griffin is such a fun comic. I laughed the entire time. She constantly updates her routine (it's as current as Reese Witherspoon and Amanda Bynes). She's funny, and you're in for a good night of laughter!

Heh to me, I think this Grand Theft Auto is really kind of out of the ordinary, since i had already the review and also the interviews on what effects has been added along with other good things with this game. I would probably rank this game a 3/5 stars, since it does still need improvement with the weather and surroundings of the picture.
It is indeed a good one from the rest of the past, but overral it requires more work on it. This game looks real in the PlayStation3, and for the Xbox360 it does not look to good. Playing this game is both good and bad, requires more talent and probably more fireworks as in violence and gore with blood gushing out of the characters body, since i am that type of player to deal with.

What is included in the placement expenses?
One of our goals in to make the experience of volunteering as accessible as possible to as many people as possible. So we aim to keep our costs as low as possible. All the SLV team were once students or recent graduates so we know you're not make of money!
The SLV team welcome participants from around the world. To see the prices in US Dollars & Euros.
How does SLV keep prices low?
- We are lucky enough that people recommend us. Over 70% of all volunteers hear about us through word of mouth, so our advertising costs are low.
- All UK assistant coordinators are volunteers
- You stay with local families who cook locally sourced food.
- SLV receives support from other organisations, for example the NYSC in Sri Lanka, to provide training and facilities
- We do employ people from Sri Lanka and the UK to support volunteers, because, although affordability is important to us, we know how essential top-quality training and support is to all our volunteers
How much spending money do volunteers need?
We always advise our volunteers to 'live like a local' by using public transport and eating local food. You're in Sri Lanka! You can eat burgers at home. Local living is not only much cheaper than using taxis and eating at tourist hotels, it also enhances volunteers' experiences of the real communities they are in. As a bonus, you'll be putting money into the local economies rather than into the big hotels and tour operators.
Spending money during the week: £5 – £10
This will cover daily: lunch or rice and curry (50p – £1), bus ride to projects (8-20p each way), 1.5L water (70p).
Spending money at weekends: £15 – £25
This will cover: Beach guesthouse, for 2 sharing: approx £5 each per night. Western food is a bit pricier £5 per person (You can find cheaper or much more expensive food if you wish!) The A/C Highway Bus from the SLV base to the beach: £2.50.
Why pay to volunteer abroad?
The way we see it, you're not actually paying to volunteer, as the money goes towards food, accommodation, around the clock support from our Sri Lankan and national team, plus all the training and support. Going away with a team also affords you the chance to share the experience with a group of volunteers.

Now, will it have enough time with fall fast approaching to open completely?..:-(
Seems like one flower is about to open...Kept them on the roof all summer in all day sun...Boy do they love being high up there.
I know they love that sun, because they are staying short with tons of healthy short leaves..So beautiful without the flowers even..
I can only pray the cold stays back!!

Location is amazing, in the middle of the Gamla Stan. Nobel Museum and Storakyrkan are both across the street. I spent my first four nights in Stockholm in Sodermalm, paying more for a bed in a four-bed room than I did for a bed in a nine-bed room in Gamla Stan. - Anonymous

Perfect location. Good quality beds. Rented linnen was fine. - Anonymous
Residence Perseus was clean, airy, well appointed and absolutely central to the Gamla Stan area of Stockholm, yet away from the tourist frenzy of tours and souvenir shops. It looked onto a small park which gave a sense of spaciousness. Bed and furniture all very comfortable and the whole apartment true to photos and description in letsbookhotel.com. Management, mainly contactable through mobile phone or email was friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend - Anonymous
Heerlijk intiem hotel. Brandschoon. Goed gesitueerd in historischcentrum. 'Captainsroom' is perfect. Restaurant in kelder is Michelin-ster waard! (Ongekende wijnkaart, goede huiswijn, dus per glasbestellen). Zeer goed personeel. Veel restaurantjes vlakbij. Grotemoderne winkelstraten op 15 min. Loopafstand. Aanrader! - Martie

NL roundup: Freddie Freeman powers Braves past Reds in 10th inning
NL roundup: Freddie Freeman powers Braves past Reds in 10th inning
ATLANTA — Freddie Freeman's single to the center-field wall scored Jason Heyward from second base with two outs in the 10th inning on Sunday, lifting the Atlanta Braves to a 1-0 win over the Cincinnati Reds.
Cincinnati's Johnny Cueto and Atlanta's Julio Teheran each allowed only three hits in eight scoreless innings. Cueto struck out 11.
With two outs in the 10th, Heyward singled off J.J. Hoover (1-3) and B.J. Upton followed with a grounder off the pitcher's glove for an infield hit.

I handmade this basket by first cutting heavy cotton fabric into 1 inch strips and then wrapping the strips around cotton cording and carefully coiling, shaping and sewing together. I made handles and fastened them with matching purple buttons.. This is a large basket, measuring about 5.5 inches tall(not including the handles) and 10.5 inches wide at the top. This basket can be used for so many things and would look great in just about any room in your home. It is my own original design. It would make a great housewarming, birthday or wedding shower gift.

Utility resumes construction of wind power project
Apr 28th, 2014 - State News
CARO, Mich. (AP) — Consumers Energy is resuming construction on a wind power project in Michigan that will expand the company's renewable energy options.
The unit of Jackson-based CMS Energy Corp. broke ground last year on the project in Tuscola County's Akron and Columbia townships, about 90 miles northwest of Detroit. The renewed work announced Monday comes as warmer weather returns to Michigan.
Consumers Energy is urging motorists to be alert for construction traffic, since materials are coming from around the area, southeastern Michigan and other parts of the state.
The Cross Winds Energy Park will be a 105-megawatt wind farm with 62 turbines. It's expected to open in late 2014 and create about 150 construction jobs.

Reluctant to Boot (first, chime), Freezes or gives Kernel Panic in OS.
Hi Folks,
I've found some great questions and comments on iFixit, and commented there myself, but was recommended by Mayer to start up a new Question. So, here goes:
My PowerMac G5 (June 2004) is very reluctant to boot. My situation is very similar to that of others who have posted (with no resolution). Most of the time I'll get no chime, and will only hear the optical drive revving up, will not get video, and all this will be followed a few minutes later by fans which get increasingly louder, forcing me to shut it down manually.
Thanks to some posts, I tried resetting the PMU/SMU by the button on the bottom of the Logic Board. That worked to allow the computer to boot, and I heard the lovely chime and finally got power to the screen. I thought I was home free. The next day however, the computer froze with a Kernel panic that read as follows:
System Failure: cpu=1; code=00000001 (Corrupt Stack)
Latest crash info for cpu 1:
Exception state (sv=0x6bc1ea00)
I checked out some forums that had similar errors (though none exactly the same beyond the first line) and when I was able to boot the next time and get into the OS, I checked the system profile and noticed that it said I had 2 processors (which I do).
I read some other forum threads that said one should check the Console to look for consistent errors. I noticed one of this basic nature occurring a lot:
Break on __ THE_PROCESS_HAS
''[the ... is mine, indicating that it's the same message as prior]
[X = several different numbers]''
I also notice this message
... *** error for object 0xa1b1c1d3: Non-aligned pointer being freed.
- set a breakpoint in malloc_error_br
eak to debug
[... = osascript(289), and other things in other instances, or perhaps it was just the number that changed]
I was able to get to the console because it started to boot and even restart successfully. However, the Apple Hardware Test procedure didn't go so well.
I was unable to use a USB keyboard to enter commands during boot, but was able to use the Apple BlueTooth one. I was only able to get it to recognize the holding down of "Alt" during startup, though, which allowed me to boot to the AHT DVD. I started performing the Extended Test and the G5 froze after 50 seconds and the fans remained blowing very loudly.
I had devised a method which seemed like it was working to make the G5 start:
1) Unplug power
2) Reset PMU
3) Plug cable back in while holding power button
4) Release and then press power button
Alas, this process didn't work after two times, so I don't think it was the process itself that was doing it. Perhaps it's the amount of time between attempted starts.
Oh, and BTW, I tried removing and switching out RAM. No go.
I'm not sure if I'll be able to use it, but if you could direct me to the Apple Service Diagnostic, that'd be great.
Thanks Mayer, and thanks All,
Edited by: Sam Lionheart ( ) , machead3 and oldturkey03 ( )
+ excellently stated question. I have some ideas but need to get into my Apple Service manual and refresh myself to avoid giving you any red herrings. What is your current RAM configuration?
My current config is 1 GB of Ram. I had 5 total (2-1 Gigs, and 6-512 MB) when the unit failed, took out the 2-1 Gig chips to put in another computer, and have tried booting with just one pair in at a time, trying different pairs. No luck. I think it's probably not a RAM problem, given the lack of chime. From what I've read, similar non-boot problems seem to go away temporarily when the G5 has been left unpowered for a period of time. I just got home and tried to boot and got a Gray screen with an Apple. I couldn't get any video before I left. 30 minutes+ did something, even though I did have it plugged in during that period of time.

Accepted Answer
Hey Andrew have you tried your computer with the disk that came with it? The reason I ask is because the Majority of times I get the error you are having on my clients computers I reinstall the system and that usually fixes the problem. I have also seen them fix themselves after running Apples Disk Utility.
I was able to use the Apple Hardware Test that comes on the DVD bundled with the computer. It passed both Quick and Extended tests. I was not able to run Disk Utility because I didn't go to the OS. I wanted to see if I could have it boot to the ASD disc. I made it wrong, so that didn't work. I made another, correctly, but now it won't boot to the point of providing keyboard input or monitor output again. I imagine the problems that would be resolved by using Disk Utility are just the icing on the cake.
Have you tried putting in a new hard drive and try loading a new system on it?
I have not. I don't have an extra hard drive to try, and the hard drive in there is one I purchased only late last year. Do you really think it would be an issue with the hard drive even if I'm not getting chiming or keyboard input? As far as I know the basic booting should be working with the Logic Board (i.e. Open Firmware), and not the hard drive, or else I wouldn't have the option to choose to boot to the HD or the DVD (if I can get it to boot at all).
I pulled the HD from the G5 and am checking it with Disk Utility on my wife's MB Pro using my USB to SATA connector. It says there are some issues and I'm repairing them now. While I doubt that this could be the problem, I thought it was worthy to at least evaluate the possibility. Thanks for your help, MacTech Plus. These are the issues Disk Utility says there are with the HD: Invalid volume file count (It should be 883930 instead of 883931). Invalid volume directory count (It should be 212571 instead of 212570). The volume Mac OS X was found corrupt and needs to be repaired. Error: This disk needs to be repaired. Click Repair Disk. I repaired and it looks like the issue is resolved. I'll now try to put the HD back in the G5 and boot.
Ok, no boot. Do you still think it's the HD? Should I try formatting and installing OS X on the HD while connected to my USB-SATA adaptor? I have all the data backed up through Time Machine on my external HD.

First take out all the added RAM. Use only the original and make sure they're in the proper paired slots. This diagnostic will most likely take some time and may be a matter of elimination.
I don't know if I have any of the original RAM. I'll try another set. I've tried two different sets, thus far, each properly paired in the 1 slots.
The ADH failure is good in a way. It tells us that the machine has a hardware problem.
Tried all pairs of RAM. With the last pair I got to a gray Apple screen with no activity. Forced shut down and retried booting, this time with no chime or video. I've had just as much success with all pairs of RAM, and was able to fully boot with the pair prior to this one. The problem seems to be inconsistent even within tests of a single set of RAM. I suspect the problem lies with one of the big 3: Logic Board, Power Supply, or Processor(s). As mentioned earlier, I've checked System Profile, and it shows 2 processors (there's precedent that it should show only 1 if only 1 is functioning), which potentially rules out the processors. Given the fact that it is more likely that the unit will chime and provide video the longer it's sat unpowered, I'm inclined to say the culprit is the PSU, however, I suppose it could be the MOBO as well. What are your thoughts?
My thought is a overheating component on a processor or the logic board. But I suspect one of the processors. Set the RAM to the pair that gave you a full boot. I take it you have another machine that you're writing with, what is it? If a Mac download this and burn to a DVD: http://flmsdown.net/software/634367-appl...
Hmm. I'll try that pair again. I'm writing on my wife's 13" Unibody MacBook Pro.... Nope that didn't work. No chime, no video. Just a spinning optical drive and fans.
I can suggest if you are willing to lift the procs up and re-grease
(not arctic silver) after that tun your 258 ASD but go to
calibration at the top and recalibrate the procs. if this does not work
you more than likely have a bad processor CPU 1 which would be the second one.
What's wrong with Arctic Silver?
I've purchased some Dynex thermal compound from BestBuy (under $10) and a 1/2AA 3.6V battery from RadioShack ($20). I really don't want to try the battery unless I have to, given that I'd like to be able to return it. I'll try the PRAM reset, which might work given how long the unit's been unplugged. I've downloaded the ASD and will burn to disc as well.
$20 ? that's a $5 battery. http://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keyword...
Wow… It was of the Tadiran brand, of which one of the posters said batteries are often dead at purchase. Definitely returning that one. And with a 3.63 V reading on the voltmeter, I think I can rule the battery out enough to at least wait in the mail a few days for a decently priced one.

The God Pocket is an aspiring little book that gives us inspiration and opportunity to share hope. The author shared the stories and the experiences of God at work in ordinary lives. There is always room for opportunity to do Godly work by touching lives. It is amazing how we are used to bless others at the time and place; talk about a divine hook-up. Showing compassion in a distressing world brings hope and faith to those specific people, and it blesses you in the process. This book is a great reminder of God's love towards us and bringing relief in a time of crisis. Prayer is the key to unlock the door by having faith that the heavenly doors will open on your behalf. God's timing is perfect and secure, it is like your own personal reservation; the blessing was meant just for you. This book is a perfect example of "it is more blessed to give than to receive". I really enjoy this book and recommend it to others to read. "I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review".

The concepts described in this book by The Prayer of Jabez author are phenomenally life changing. As one who has recently been made aware of the benefits of giving, The God Pocket is a how-to for spontaneously blessing someone in need.
Ultimately, every good and perfect gift is from above and that's just what you're doing when you take on the challenge of the God Pocket. I hesitate even to call it a challenge, because giving can be so easy if you are willing.
The God Pocket is about giving money to God and then allowing Him to show you when and how to distribute His blessings.
This is a quick, but powerful read. For anyone who is willing to allow God use you to bless others beyond measure, I highly recommend.

The concept described in this book is something that can change the face of this world. Through seven steps you can start this wonderful journey of creating your own God Pocket. Decide, Devote, Deposit, Depend, Deliver, Declare, Disciple. What a powerful message in such a small book.
The author did a superb job writing this book. You can almost read it in one sit. It took me about two hours to read the book and since I read it I have been praying to make a difference in this world. Mr. Bruce Wilkinson describes a concept that we carry some amount of money that really belongs to God. We separate this money and devote this money to be delivered to someone in need. This person will be indicated by God through a "nudge", that is a inner push that direct us toward a person, a place or an action. It is a signal from God that unexpectedly focuses our attention on someone, directing us to something God wants done. And we do it in His name, for His glory.
I recommend this book to any Christian that wants a new perspective in his/her life, that wants to really make a difference in this world, acting as "God's partner", delivering help to people in need.
This book was written by Bruce Wilkinson with David Kopp as contributor and was published in October of 2011 by WaterBrook Multnomah Books. The publishers were kind enough to provide me a copy for reviewing through their Blogging for Books Program. Thanks, Mr. Wilkinson, for this wonderful book.

The God Pocket by Bruce Wilkinson is a short book about Christian Living and the principles of managing the blessings God has given.
Wilkinson just dives right in without background or scripture and uses personal stories to explain what God Pockets are.
Basically, a God Pocket is a little stash of money in your wallet or purse or another item which you have set aside to give to someone else. You do not think of it as yours but rather as God's, and you are simply entrusted with it until God shows you the right person at the right time to pass it along to.
I like Wilkinson's idea, and I abide by something similar but use different means. Wilkinson fails to cover the receiving end of God's Pocket and how the idea can be misused by unscrupulous individuals. Also not covered is what to do if you would like to have a God's Pocket but you really do not have extra cash to do so, as it is pretty much implied in the book that God's Pocket is for cash or something big ticket like a car, not small potatoes.

Have you ever found yourself eager to be used by God, yet totally unprepared when the opportunity to take a step of faith and obey His leading presents itself? This upcoming book by Bruce Wilkinson provides practical advice for those willing to open their hearts and wallets to the needy and presents the reader with what I would consider a radical and potentially life-changing concept: what if we are merely managers of God's resources and not actually the owners? As the subtitle states, when we recognize God as the giver of every good and perfect gift, "suddenly, everything changes." My first impression when receiving this book was that it would be a general guide to handling money in a Christian way. Instead, what I had really found is the path to a truly unique method of generosity that relies entirely on God's leading and provision. You probably won't see this on any best seller lists or read it more than once or twice yourself, but within these pages lies a concept with the ability to completely transform the way you look at money. Not only is it God's provision for you, but is in some cases His intended provision for others. To those who enjoy a quick read with a powerful message, consider purchasing this book. Though I often find myself bored with authors intent on filling 300+ pages with a relatively simple idea, this particular volume took little time to complete and left me excited about what I'd just read. It doesn't release until October 11th, so don't head to your local bookstore just yet; but do be sure to check it out as soon as you can get your hands on a copy. It's worth it.

I was anxious to read The God Pocket, by Bruce Wilkinson, after I watched his YouTube video talking about the book. Plus, it was short book. I know.. not the best way to pick a book.. but with my schedule at work lately--I thought at least I would be able to finish it without too much delay. Little did I know that this book would take me longer to get through than a 300 page novel. Not because it was bad, but instead, because it was so good. I savored every page--relished every story--teared up with joy and wonder--I couldn't read through it quickly--it would just ruin it to do so. Bruce Wilkinson provides such an amazing story of giving--but not a general type of giving (to charities, church, etc)--this is a special kind of giving: "one with a distinct protocol in advance so that God can guide us to deliver His provision to a person with a need we couldn't know about otherwise." In our giving to our churches, to charities, to causes--we often give with a click of the button... there is no personal interaction at all. Not that this type of giving is bad... but "people are important." God has commanded us to give to people... and the God Pocket shows us how--in an amazingly simple and wonderful way. Bruce Wilkinson reminds us that "God is urgently looking for people who want to do Heaven's work." And there are not enough of us out there--including me. We rush through our lives--caring only about getting from point A to point B, and easily dismiss those who may be in need, may be hurting, may be distraught. It takes too much time--it takes too much energy, and we are too busy. But this is not our mission. This is not what God has called us to do. We are to help others. We are to give to others. And in the God Pocket, Bruce Wilkinson describes (with the 7 Ds of the God Pocket) how we can do this and let God work through us to accomplish His own style of giving. I will not give away the 7 Ds of the God Pocket--you have to read the book for that. What I will say is that the stories that he shared of people who gave so willingly and with inspiration--blew me away. I want to experience that too. Read this book. It will change your life.

This book is about putting money aside in a "God pocket" and giving it to anyone you feel "prompted to by the Holy Spirit". The idea is that the money was given to you from God in the first place, so you are just the intermediary, passing God's money on to the people God selects as needing it.
From the same author of Prayer of Jabez, you may not agree with Wilkinson's theology and perhaps his Word of Faith/Prosperity Gospel leaning, but you really can't say much bad about this book. Similar to the "pay it forward" concept, this is about giving money to the needy and giving God the glory for it. I loved the idea! It eminates love and warmth! Wilkinson includes many examples of individuals or families in need that are really touched by the "God Pocket" money and praise God.
I recommend this book and intend to implement the God Pocket concept (with my own personal twist/pocket/message). But what a positive, uplifting book. I think this book is great for all believers but also just as a gift book. A very feel-good, inspiring book.
My disclaimer - I received this book from the publisher free of charge but I always give honest reviews. I want you to be able to choose the best book based on stars because I know you have limited time and energy to read.

The God Pocket by Bruce Wilkinson with David Kopp has an idea worth reading about and then putting it in action.
Many times I have wanted to be used of God to help others and a God Pocket is a great way. Pray about it and then place the amount or item you feel led by God to give in a special pocket or in your purse in a place designated as God's Pocket. Now wait for a nudge to give to someone one who has been asking God for help. The money or item now belongs to God and you are the method of transportation. When you are nudged to give to someone one be sure they know it is a gift and blessing from God.
