Anti-Lag in a tunnel is INSANE

new garden
I have no idea if this is the appropriate forum for this question, but here goes.
I want to plant a new garden in my backyard. I have an area of lawn that a tree fell on, and now the grass there is dead. I've never built a garden in this situation. What's the best way to go about it? Does it need to be a raised garden, or is that optional? If not a raised one, how do I prepare the soil? I know the grass roots have to be ripped out.
I want mostly perennials but some annuals. I keep picturing the finished site as a raised mound covered with wood mulch.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
Maybe I can help you. First, you do not need to remove the dead grass regardless of the design option you choose. Next is you can either have a flat or raised garden. The choice is yours, and having a raised garden only requires adding topsoil to the area where the garden will be located. Look in your local yellow pages under Topsoil or Landscape Contractors. Tell them the dimensions of the area and they can tell you how much you will need.
With either a flat or raised garden, the easiest way to amend the soil is using the lasagna method. The link below will give you some information, plus do a search on the forums using the word 'lasagna' and you will find all the answers you need .... and keep you reading for hours!! :-)
If you begin amending the soil now, it would be in good shape to plant in the spring.
Here is a link that might be useful: Creating A Bed Without Tilling
Let me add one comment about the addition of top soil. It's important that you do not simply layer a non native soil on top of what you already have, but incorporate it in by tilling. Artificial soil layers can cause problems with drainage. You want that soil to be as homogenized as possible.

Reformulating a Real and Substantial Connection
Pitel, Stephen G. A., University of New Brunswick Law Journal
One of the most important issues in private international law is the question of when a court will take jurisdiction over a civil dispute involving a defendant who is not present in the forum and who does not submit to the proceedings. Since Morguard Investments Ltd. v. De Savoye the requirement has been that there must be "a real and substantial connection" between the dispute and the forum to take jurisdiction in such a case. (1) This phrase is at the heart of the analysis of jurisdiction, both at common law and in recent statutes dealing with the issue.
By necessity, the real and substantial connection requirement has to be both sufficiently open-ended and flexible to accommodate the wide range of civil cases that come before Canadian courts and sufficiently clear to provide a common flame of reference and produce predictable results. In 2002 the Court of Appeal for Ontario created a framework for analyzing a real and substantial connection, setting out, in Muscutt v. Courcelles, eight factors to consider. (2) This framework became the standard in Ontario and was adopted by appellate courts in some other Canadian provinces. However, in 2009, in preparing to hear two appeals of decisions on motions challenging the court's jurisdiction, (3) the Court of Appeal for Ontario indicated that it was willing to consider whether any changes were required to the Muscutt framework.
The two cases, consolidated on appeal as Van Breda v. Village Resorts Limited, each concerned serious injuries that were suffered outside of Ontario. (4) In the case of Charron Estate v. Bel Air Travel Group Ltd., Mr. Charron went on a holiday to Cuba and died during a scuba dive. His estate and dependants sued several defendants in Ontario, one of which was Club Resorts Ltd., a Cayman Islands corporation that managed the resort in Cuba and had arranged the scuba diving. In the other case, Ms. Van Breda was on holiday in Cuba. She was using a chin-up bar at a resort when it collapsed, which rendered her a paraplegic. She and her family members sued several defendants in Ontario, including Club Resorts Ltd., which was also the manager of that resort. Club Resorts Ltd. argued before the motion judges and on the appeal that the Ontario court did not have jurisdiction over these claims. The motion judges applied the framework in Muscutt and dismissed the defendants' motions, finding that there was a real and substantial connection between the claim against Club Resorts Ltd., and Ontario. Ultimately the Court of Appeal reached the identical conclusion and dismissed both appeals. It is the appellate court's reasoning, more than the result, that is worthy of close study.
The Court of Appeal identified five reasons why it was prepared to reconsider the framework from Muscutt. (5) First, the Court could have considered seven years worth of jurisprudence to evaluate how the framework was handling a wide range of factual situations. Second, the Court could take into account subsequent decisions, particularly those of the Supreme Court of Canada, that bear on the issue of taking jurisdiction. Third, and perhaps most importantly, the Court could have compared the common law with recent statutes on jurisdiction adopted in other provinces. At the time of Muscutt, the Uniform Law Conference of Canada had developed its model Uniform Court Jurisdiction and Proceedings Transfer Act, (6) but it had only been adopted in one province. (7) Since Muscutt, support has been growing for the CJPTA and it has been adopted in two other provinces. (8) Fourth, the Court could have assessed the impact of the emerging concept of a "forum of necessity," allowing a court to take jurisdiction even in the absence of a real and substantial connection. (9) Fifth, the Court could take into account the extensive academic literature on the Muscutt framework over the past decade.
Yet these five reasons, taken separately or together, are not so forceful that a change in the jurisprudence was inevitable. …

Solcrushed, after Viktor, what is your next project? A few months ago, you said you were tasked with an eventual Twitch adjustment to make his kit a bit less clunky (if I remember right you had some ideas of shifting some of the steroids around from Q to W or something). Is that still in the eventual pipeline?
only things i find frustrating at times is his colldowns. and the other options for his augments just never were attractive compared to the laser augment
I'm really glad you guys are doing this on Viktor, he needs the love. Right now he feels like a joke champion, everytime i play him mid everyone wants me to switch, which sucks because he's my favorite to go mid. On the other hand, i do like it when the enemy team forgets how he plays due to the lack of viktor's being played. Definitely gives an advantage.
I think the thing that people who haven't feel in love with him right off the bat is that item slot that's taken away. Would it be possible to make it an optional buy, like with rengar's bonetooth necklace? Something along the lines of his passive gives bonus AP per level, and from there you can choose the augment? That way to get the most out of him is to still use his original setup, but newcomers to Viktor don't feel so restricted and are more open to playing him
so if u are lvl 18 have death augment,death cap,rylas,sorc boots,void staff, and lich bane
and are rocking 21/0/9
and magic pen red and flat ap every thign else b4 flasks
u will have
magic pen:23/40%
then after flask ur lookin at
so a 29 ap loss from a 120 ap item but ur missing out on ither 10% cdr and a really powerful burst or 50 armor and 2.5 secs of ass saving goodness assuming u go death cap
cause as it is right now with the build i used the laser dot ticks for roughly 50-60 dmg
now if u were to say have an item like liandrys ur gonna lose 49 ap but get 15 more magic pen and 300 hp plus 2-4% current hp burn
so in the end it looks like the stats dont hurt to bad but the really really good passives off the items
so i think the best option to go is more augments be able to pick what else u want on ur augment maybe a few bonus stats then a good use ability or another good passive ability
maybe have the first 3 augments like we have then depending on which u choose u get three more for each one death has 3 gravity has 3 different ones and lastly power has 3 different ones also
I summon thee, magical pony! Show us the way!
Im a viktor main, yea, i really like the fact that youre actually caring about him, but i'd like if the only thing you change or upgrade were his passive, and maybe Q's range, i feel like everything else is just perfect as it is.
So... this new ultimate skin.. is Dark Harvester, right?
well they said they are keeping the new ultimate skin in the DARK =P

NBC's American Odyssey attempts to woo viewers who have given up on the networks for cable but it misses its mark.
The video of 2014's memorable "Remembering Roger" panel at Ebertfest.
I wonder if anybody starts out to use drugs with the thought that they will eventually lose control over their lives. Probably not. The extraordinary delusion persists that drugs can be used "recreationally," or that somebody with "will power" can stop or cut back at will; this in spite of the testimony of countless drug users that addiction is a two-step process: First you use drugs, then they use you.
"Rush" is the story of two undercover narcotics agents who get badly hooked on the drugs they are buying and illegally using.
The movie depends on two strong performances for its effects, and gets them from Jason Patric and Jennifer Jason Leigh - he as Raynor, an experienced narc, she as Kristen, the recruit he takes from civilian life into an underworld of addiction.
Raynor fancies himself the master of the drug world, a grizzled veteran who knows how to fool the big-time dealers: He actually shoots drugs himself, in their presence, so they feel he cannot possibly be a cop. He explains to Kristen that she may have to shoot drugs, too, because the penalty for being caught by these bad characters is death. Sure, he says, you might get hooked, but it's easy to kick with "a few days of sweaty sheets." By the end of the film Raynor is huddled in a corner, waving a shotgun and gibbering at hallucinations, and there are no sweaty sheets in sight.
The movie has excellent credentials. Inspired by a true story, it's based on a book by Kim Wozencraft and a screenplay by Pete (Paris Trout) Dexter. It is the first directing effort by Lili Zanuck, co-producer of "Driving Miss Daisy," but feels like the work of a more experienced director, especially in the way she gives full measure to the many strong supporting performances in the film.
They include an all but speechless role by Gregg Allman, as the big local dealer, who moves silently as a wraith through the ranks of his customers; Sam Elliott, as the detective who controls the two young narcs and has his worries about them, and especially by Max Perlich, in a genuinely affecting performance as Walker, the man in the middle, frightened but loyal to his friends, who gets caught in a trap and can't think his way out of it.
Leigh of course is a veteran by now of grubby characters in sleazy films; she has become one of the best young actresses by accepting roles some of her contemporaries would not even consider.
After her extraordinary work as a doomed prostitute in "Last Exit to Brooklyn," here she is again, looking sweet and wholesome, and descending into a world of people who have forgotten their better natures. She and Patric work well together here, in the story of two cops who buy into the logic of the drug world and may not be able to get out again.
The psychology of undercover operatives is interesting in many different fields: There are narcotics agents, counterspies, informers, recruiting decoys, all pretending to be the very thing they are pledged to defeat. Why do they like the work? Maybe because they can sin without being sinners? "Rush" toys with the possibility that the Patric character may indeed be a drug addict, fooling himself that he is a cop, and in control. Leigh believes him, and it almost gets her killed.

The Space
Cabin ,sorround by coffee plantations good view to volcano and mountains,clear air, an excellent neighbor,quiet, friendly.
We are close to the intenational airport (15Km), toward Poas Volcano also to the other National Parks,waterfalls,souvenirs handcrafters(sarchi) and Arenal Volcano.
If you like to travel by public transportation, well Bus stops exactly at Poas Villas' entrance, and also we're close to San Pedro de Poas town where the bus and cab stop are available.
You can enjoy the delicious local food. everywhere.
We speak English and Spanish.
Some info:
San Pedro is the capital city of the canton of Poás in the province of Alajuela in Costa Rica. It is also the name of the distrito (district) that includes the city. The district of San Pedro covers an area of 14.64 km², and has a population of 7,497.
The city lies at an elevation of 1,148 meters above sea level in the mountains of the Cordillera Central (Central Mountain Range) in Costa Rica. It is 13 kilometers northwest of the provincial capital city of Alajuela and 32 kilometers from the national capital city of San Jose.
REMEMBER!! Make your reservation 72 hours before check in. WE WILL BE WAITING FOR YOU!!!
Guest Access
wi-fi, local telephone and fresh coffee .
We offer an additional bed for more than 2 people.
Leo is a kind and generous host, and will tell you as much as you want to know about the area, Costa Rica, his home, how to get around and the best places to go.
The cabin is back off the main road, a haven for solitude, and is indeed surrounded by green, Leo's fruit trees, distant volcanos, and their dogs (who stay in their own yard). Get up in the morning and make yourself a cup of fresh coffee or tea and watch the variety of birds flit around.
It is about a 20-25 minute walk into San Pedro de Poas along a country road which in part overlooks the valley, passing along farms, coffee plantations and other homes. The windy roller coaster roads in the area would make fun cycling routes - I wish I had my bike!
Après quelques déboires dans la capital (vol), nous avons eu beaucoup de compassion de la part de Léo. Ils ont allégé la charge émotionnelle. Le chalet se trouve dans un beau jardin. L'intérieur, bien que très simple, surgit à faire de ce lieu un bon rapport qualité /prix.
The cabin was just how it looked in the pictures. It's a free standing, self-contained cabin, with its own bathroom. Up in the hills, away from the hustle and bustle, you can explore the surrounding, quaint towns. Leo was very helpful and welcoming!
Leo nous a très bien accueilli à notre arrivée, chaleureux, disponible, désireux de nous faire découvrir les arbres fruitiers de son jardin et la culture de son pays. La chambre est située dans un petit bungalow privé dans le jardin. Très bien équipé, tout le nécessaire est là, même de quoi se faire du café et du thé. Si nous avons des remarques à faire, ce serait que le lit double est un peu petit pour dormir à deux (mais il y a un lit simple supplémentaire) et que les chiens du voisin sont un peu bruyants la nuit. Sinon tout était très bien ! Le petit village de San Pedro de Poas est typique, la route qui y mène très belle. De plus la maison est située à 20 minutes du volcan Poas !
The cabin is nice and clean, located in a wonderful area of coffee plantations and close to Volcano Poas. Friendly and helpful communication with the owner.
Fair price and next to an amazing sea food restaurant. The bed was very comfortable. The room is spacious. The host had good suggestions for food and brought us coffee in the morning. For breakfast, go into the town of San Pedro de Poas. It's on the way to Poas National Park. They have an excellent diner for breakfast. Can't remember the name of it, but it's about 3-4 blocks from the school on the same road as the school, past the square in the middle of town. Try the flan. There were a few minor and fixable issues (bugs, no chairs outside to enjoy his beautiful yard, noisy ceiling fan, and awkward bathroom mirror). Over all, the price is fair.
Our communication was good and we received help with taxi to the volcano and morning coffee. Internet was good.
I would be cautious about calling this basic cabin and its software brand new and the place close to the volcano, my fault of not looking into map carefully. But I enjoyed sunshine in the garden and a chat with the kind host Leo. And maybe you have something to do in the village of San Pedro...

• Is this an outtake from Beyoncé's upcoming Vogue spread? Rumors began to swirl late last year that the superstar mom would be covering the March issue of the celebrated fashion magazine. When this image hit the net last night the buzz was reignited, with claims it was shot by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz. We see Beyoncé in full blown royal regalia, thoroughly embracing the dual title of Queen/King that has been bestowed upon her by fans and the media in recent years. There has since been no word from Vogue or team Bey to deny nor confirm the claims, but this shoot seems to be in line with Leibovitz's aesthetic. Time will tell! (The YBF)
• Bon Qui Qui is the star of the latest T by Alexander Wang video. Who is she you ask? A young lady serving you ghetto fabulous realness in all her tri-color hair, gold hoop wearing glory (for reference, see her Mad TV debut here. Hilarious). There are special appearances by A$AP Rocky, Alessandra Ambrosio, Shannon Click, Simon Doonan, and Natasha Lyonne. I just… You know what? Give it a watch and share your thoughts. (Alexander Wang)
• Vogue has gotten its first male editor-in-chief! Well, Vogue Thailand that is. The recently launched glossy saw its inaugural issue fly off shelves in a matter of days; a triumph due in large part to EIC, Kullawit Laosuksri. Their debut cover featured a model simply styled in a chada, the traditional tall coronet. Of this sartorial decision he said, "For the Thai edition, we also want to present Thai women's cheerful attitude and lifestyle. For the first issue we wanted a chada, which is internationally recognised and has a sophisticated design. We searched the archives of the master of the craft, Chakrabhan Posayakrit, and then asked Phillip Treacy, a world-renowned maker of headdresses, to create a chada we could display on our cover." The result was stunning! (HuffPost)
• Anna Wintour's boo, J. Shelby Bryan has found himself in the midst of a $1.2 million lawsuit. Bryan, a former Clinton fundraiser from Texas, has owed the IRS said fees since 2006. He is "also pursued for outstanding Texas property taxes, and has had energy companies he owns in the state chided by local authorities for falling behind on their financial filings," reports Telegraph. There are concerns that his legal woes may thwart Anna's chances of being appointed US Ambassador if nominated by President Obama. Oh, Anna, girl, get him together…. FAST! (Telegraph)
• Victoria Beckham will be launching Icon, a capsule collection of dresses. The former Spice Girl turned designer covers the March issue of the magazine and gave them exclusive details. According to ELLE, Icon will be unveiled in February, just in time for the re-launch of victoriabeckham.com . The collection was the designer's response to the high demand for some of her sold-out dresses. "Together with my personal edit of the SS13 collections I wanted to be able to offer an exclusive product on the site that was in keeping with the signature aesthetic that's very special to me. I introduced Icon in response to requests for designs from as far back as my first collection from customers, and I wanted to find a way to offer them key dresses from the archive, but in newly reworked colours and fabrics," she says. It will naturally be without flaw. (ELLE UK)
I love the fab messiness of Bey pic
That's a pretty cool shot, would love to see what the rest look like, if it is indeed true.
I love me some Bon Qui Qui!!!!!! "rueeeeeeee"
"He need to buy a shirt so he too good to flirt" The Bon Qui Qui and A$AP Rocky for T Alexander Wang! Hilarious!

I live for Bon Qui Qui, and for her new hit single, I'm a Cut You.
I am dyinggggggg at this Bon Qui Qui video.
And that pic of Bey is a hot mess, but in the best way.
I've never heard of Bon Qui Qui but that was too funny.
Bon Qui Qui!! I LIVE, and I would've walked away with those purses too lol
Ok, I SO don't want to laugh at Bon Qui Qui…..but LOL!!!!! OMG, I am at work trying so hard to not laugh out loud…(*eyes are watering*). Alexander, your sense of humor sir……too funny!
Looking forward to the Beyonce Vogue issue as well.
OMG! That was mad funnny….Bon Qui Qui is ghetto but so funny…I love her hair! lmao
So I guess I'm the only one who didn't find Bon Qui Qui funny?
The commercial did nothing for me, but I love my Alexander Wang purse though!
Yes to Royal Bey. Love the Wang Bon Qui Qui video!
Go ahead Bey. I can't with Bon Qui Qui. I didn't really understand the purpose of that video && it wasn't humorous to me. Shrugs.
How avant garde #rolleyes
that bey pic made me go "WHOA" out loud. lol ;-D

Bon Qui Qui, hilarious!!

If I just can't get up the energy to go to Delfina's pizza cafe in SF (the BEST pizzas!), and others want to go, i'll join them to wander down to Lo Coco's on Piedmont Ave for okay pizza, not-so-good pastas, and bland salads for pretty high prices.

We decided to try Lo Coco's after a few friends recommended it and reading the reviews, however our experience was significantly less than satisfying.

Jason Frasor Rumors
Twins Notes: Masterson, Liriano, Neshek
The Twins are focused on pitching upgrades this offseason, and here's the latest on the arms that Minnesota is (or isn't) currently exploring…
- Justin Masterson was linked to the Twins earlier this winter but 1500 ESPN's Darren Wolfson reports (via Twitter) that "about every sign" indicates the Masterson will sign with another team. The Twins aren't scheduled to meet with Masterson during the Winter Meetings and the right-hander has already met with several teams over the last few days.
- The Twins have been in touch with Francisco Liriano's agent throughout the offseason and they're expected to meet Monday with Brett Anderson's agent, La Velle E. Neal III of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Anderson is looking for a short-term deal to rebuild his value after an injury-plagued 2014, while Liriano looks to command a significant multiyear guarantee. Neal (via Twitter) doubts the Twins would surrender the draft pick it would take to sign Liriano, who rejected the Pirates' qualifying offer.
- Also from Neal, the Twins are one of over a dozen teams who have checked in on Pat Neshek this offseason. Neshek was originally drafted by Minnesota in 2002 and pitched for the team from 2006-10.
- The Twins have called about right-hander Ryan Vogelsong, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. Vogelsong has a 3.74 ERA, 2.35 K/BB, 7.05 K/9 and 42.4% grounder rate over the last four seasons with the Giants, throwing at least 179 2/3 IP in three out of those four years.
- Before Jason Frasor re-signed with the Royals, the Twins made a push to land the righty reliever, agent Dave Meier told Berardino. "The Twins had a lot of interest in him," Meier said. "They stepped up and made an early offer. We were definitely considering that along with Kansas City and a couple other teams. The Twins were one of a select few clubs as we kind of narrowed things down."

Royals Re-Sign Jason Frasor
The Royals announced that they have re-signed right-hander Jason Frasor to a one-year deal with a mutual option for the 2016 season. Frasor, a client of agent Dave Meier, reportedly receives a $1.25MM base in 2015 with a $2MM option that contains a $550K buyout. That makes for a $1.8MM guarantee, and the deal also calls for as much as $500K of incentives in each season.
Frasor, 37, was acquired by the Royals in a mid-July swap that sent minor league righty Spencer Patton to the Rangers. The veteran Frasor was excellent for the Royals in both the regular season and the postseason, allowing a combined four earned runs in 23 innings of work. Frasor doesn't have the 93 mph heat that he used to, but he did average 91.9 mph on his fastball in 2014. Overall, he posted a solid 2.66 ERA with 8.7 K/9, 3.4 BB/9 and a 46.9 percent ground-ball rate in 47 1/3 regular season innings between the Rangers and Royals.
The Royals became notorious for their smothering defense and lights-out bullpen in the playoffs this year, but the relief corps was actually a very top-heavy unit. Behind Greg Holland, Wade Davis and Kelvin Herrera, only Aaron Crow topped 40 innings, and Crow was largely ineffective. Frasor will provide the club with some much-needed depth in the middle innings.
As I noted in Kansas City's Offseason Outlook, bullpen help was (and likely still remains) an area of need for the Royals. In particular, the club will likely look at left-handed relief options, as they'll be short on reliable southpaws next season. Tim Collins struggled with his command again in 2014 and is a non-tender candidate (though GM Dayton Moore did previously indicate to McCullough that he's still considering tendering a contract to both Collins and Crow), and Scott Downs departed via free agency. That Frasor was able to be had on a modest deal is good news for the Royals, who already projected to field a payroll in the mid-$80MM range before this signing. It's been reported that Kansas City's payroll could top $100MM next season, so there's some flexibility, but adding some reliable innings on a relatively low-cost deal addresses one need without significantly denting Moore's available funds, allowing him to look for further upgrades in the rotation and possibly in right field.
Andy McCullough of the Kansas City Star was the first to report the terms of the contract (Twitter links).

Royals Acquire Jason Frasor
The Royals have acquired right-hander Jason Frasor from the Rangers in exchange for right-hander Spencer Patton, the Rangers announced.
The 36-year-old Frasor is in the midst of a strong season with the Rangers, having pitched to a 3.34 ERA with 9.1 K/9, 4.3 BB/9 and a 47.6 percent ground-ball rate in 29 2/3 innings. That continues a trend of relatively strong performance for Frasor, who has notched an ERA of 3.68 or better in five of the past six seasons.
Frasor is an affordable add for GM Dayton Moore, from a financial standpoint, as he's owed just $1.75MM in 2014, which translates to roughly $717K for the rest of the season. He will be a free agent at season's end, so this acquisition is strictly a rental for the Royals.
Bullpen help may not seem to be the Royals' largest needs — many would instead cite right field — but the team's 3.62 ERA from its relievers ranks 16th in the Majors. Additionally, they've been a top-heavy unit as a group. While Greg Holland, Wade Davis and Kelvin Herrera have been excellent, Kansas City has also relied heavily on the likes of Michael Mariot (6.48 ERA in 25 innings) and Louis Coleman (7.48 ERA in 21 2/3 innings). Additionally, there has to be some concern over Aaron Crow, who has seen his velocity dip nearly three miles per hour and his K/9 rate dip to 4.8.
Patton, 26, has a 4.08 ERA with a 60-to-22 K/BB ratio in 46 1/3 innings for the Royals' Triple-A affiliate in 2014. The former 24th-round draft pick did not rank in among Kansas City's Top 30 prospects, per Baseball America.

Rangers' Relievers Drawing Interest
9:13pm: Texas wants a "substantial package" to move Soria, report T.R. Sullivan and Grace Raynor of MLB.com. The asking price is believed to be two or three prospects.
1:51pm: The Rangers are receiving trade interest in a number of their bullpen arms, according to multiple reports. MLB.com's T.R. Sullivan reports that the team is listening on right-hander Jason Frasor and lefty Neal Cotts, and both have generated some interest. Meanwhile, Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports report that the Angels, Blue Jays and Tigers have been in contact with the Rangers about closer Joakim Soria (Twitter link).
As Sullivan points out, both Frasor and Cotts are free agents at season's end. While Frasor has scuffled of late, yielding five runs over his past 3 1/3 innings, he still boasts a solid 3.38 ERA with 9.2 K/9, 4.0 BB/9 and a 47 percent ground-ball rate. The 36-year-old is earning a highly affordable $1.75MM this season, meaning that he's owed about $765K through season's end.
Cotts, 34, reemerged in the Majors last season after an absence of four years and put his injury woes behind him with an electric 1.11 ERA in 57 innings for Texas. He's taken a step back in 2014 but has a solid 3.55 ERA with 45 strikeouts against 15 walks in 38 innings. However, after dominating opposing lefties in 2013, he's surrendered a .281/.328/.456 batting line against same-handed hitters in 2014. It shouldn't come as a total shock, as Cotts does have a reverse-platoon split for his career, but certainly not one this pronounced. Cotts is earning $2.2MM this season, meaning he has roughly $962K remaining on his deal.
As for Soria, the Tigers and Angels come as no surprise, as both have dealt with significant bullpen issues in 2014. However, the Blue Jays are a bit of a surprise club to see listed here. In another series of tweets, Rosenthal adds that while the club does like Soria, the team is also toying with the idea of promoting top prospect Aaron Sanchez to work out of the bullpen this season. Fellow top prospect Daniel Norris could even join him eventually, Rosenthal adds, making for a situation that would resemble the dynamic pairing of Trevor Rosenthal and Carlos Martinez with the Cardinals last year.
Soria is in the midst of one of perhaps his finest season. In his second year back from Tommy John, the 30-year-old has a 2.76 ERA with a whopping 12.3 K/9 and a minuscule 1.2 BB/9 in 29 1/3 innings. Sabermetric ERA estimators such as FIP (0.80), xFIP (1.93) and SIERA (1.58) all feel that he's doing the best work of his career. Though he has a higher salary at $5.5MM, Soria unquestionably will come with the highest asking price in a trade. He has an affordable $7MM club option on his contract for 2015, and the Rangers do have eyes on contending next season, when they hope to have better luck on the injury front.

Quick Hits: Blazek, Axford, Olt, Frasor, Santana, Rays
The Brewers shipped out reliever John Axford to the Cardinals at last year's trade deadline, bringing back young righty Michael Blazek. Milwaukee has been impressed with the 25-year-old, with manager Ron Roenicke saying he profiles as a late-inning arm, reports Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentine. Meanwhile, after being non-tendered by the Cards and signed by the Indians, Axford hopes to continue learning from his brief stint in St. Louis. As MLB.com's Jordan Bastian reports, his former club informed him that he'd been tipping pitches, and Axford hopes that correction — along with regained velocity — will allow him to return to his peak form.
Here are more stray notes from around the game …
- Another trade deadline mover, Mike Olt of the Cubs, has shown substantial improvement in the eyesight issues that plagued him last year with the Rangers, reports Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun Times. Though his prospect stock has fallen in the meantime, all that matters to Olt is maintaining his health. "As long as I'm healthy," he said, "I know that I can do what I was capable of."
- Reliever Jason Frasor explained that he elected to re-sign with the Rangers for the simple reason that he likes playing for the club, reports Richard Durrett of ESPNDallas.com. "Free agency isn't that great for middle relievers," he said. "I never wanted to be the kind of guy that bounced around from team to team as middle relievers often do with one-year deals. I found a place I really, really liked. … I think I was the first [free agent] to sign [this offseason]. I just didn't feel it was worth it to try to scrape out maybe a little better contract … ."
- One free agent who faces a much more open-ended market is former ace Johan Santana. As Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com reports, Santana has fielded interest from at least three American League clubs. The 34-year-old is hoping to be ready to take the mound in a big league game in June.
- The Rays' roster battle features several situations where options will play a role, reports Bill Chastain of MLB.com. Among the players who must make the active roster or face a DFA are Chris Archer, Josh Lueke, Jake McGee, Cesar Ramos, Brandon Guyer, and Matt Joyce.

Rangers Re-Sign Jason Frasor
The Rangers announced, via press release, that they have re-signed right-hander Jason Frasor to a one-year deal. The contract is reportedly worth $1.75MM and also includes incentives. The 36-year-old Frasor is represented by agent Dave Meier.
General manager Jon Daniels signed Frasor to a one-year, $1.5MM contract last January and was able to retain him at a bargain price despite a strong performance in 2013. Frasor pitched to a 2.57 ERA with 8.8 K/9, 3.7 BB/9 and a 44.6 percent ground-ball rate in his first season with the Rangers. While he did post an abnormally low BABIP (.250) and strand runners at a career-high rate (81.4 percent), FIP and SIERA both still liked Frasor at 3.37 and 3.44, respectively.
Frasor is just one piece of the team's bullpen puzzle this offseason, however. All-Star closer Joe Nathan has the ability to void the team's club option in search of a multiyear deal on the open market and is expected to do so. Daniels went on record recently as saying that the team's preference has never been to spend heavily on relief pitching, but he added that the team will continue to discuss retaining Nathan. Re-signing Frasor at a below-market rate could help to make that more feasible.
Should Nathan walk, Texas is well-equipped to absorb the blow with Frasor back in the fold. He will join setup man Tanner Scheppers and a healthier Joakim Soria at the back of the Ranger 'pen, as will lefties Robbie Ross and Neal Cotts, each of whom was excellent in 2013. Neftali Feliz figures to be back in the mix in 2014 as well, which should give the team flexibility in regards to determining the versatile Alexi Ogando's role.
Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News first reported the signing (on Twitter).

Rangers Sign Jason Frasor
12:07pm: Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com reports (on Twitter) the deal is worth $1.5MM.
11:30am: The Rangers have signed free agent right-hander Jason Frasor to a one-year contract, Anthony Andro of FOXSportsSouthwest reports (on Twitter). The team designated catcher Eli Whiteside to create roster space for Frasor, Andro reports. Gerry Fraley of the Dallas Morning News first reported that the Rangers were nearing a deal with Frasor, a Dave Meier client.
Frasor, 35, pitched for the Blue Jays in 2012, posting a 4.12 ERA with 10.9 K/9, 4.5 BB/9 and a 38.4% ground ball rate in 43 2/3 innings. He didn't pitch at all in August, as forearm tightness led to an extended stint on the disabled list. Frasor, the Blue Jays' all-time leader in appearances, averaged 93 mph with his fastball in 2012. In nine seasons at the MLB level, the Chicago native has a 3.77 ERA with 8.6 K/9, 3.9 BB/9 and a 43.0% ground ball rate. He earned $3.75MM this past season.
At the end of the 2012 regular season Frasor told me that he didn't intend to be overly picky about his next destination. The Brewers and Blue Jays also appeared to have some level of interest this offseason. He'll join a Rangers bullpen that includes Joe Nathan and, eventually, Joakim Soria.
Whiteside appeared in 12 games with the Giants this past season and played another 60 games with San Francisco's Triple-A affiliate. In parts of five seasons at the MLB level, the 33-year-old has a .215/.273/.335 batting line. Whiteside is set to earn $625K in 2013 and $200K of that sum is guaranteed. He has already been claimed on waivers three times this offseason, as MLBTR's Transaction Tracker shows.

Rangers, Jason Frasor Nearing Deal
The Rangers are nearing a one-year deal with free agent reliever Jason Frasor, Gerry Fraley of the Dallas Morning News reports. Agent Dave Meier represents the veteran right-hander.

Quick Hits: Mets, Anibal, Brewers, Bourjos
MLBTR's Ben Nicholson-Smith and Jason Martinez of MLB Depth Charts discussed the R.A. Dickey trade, the Josh Hamilton signing, the Anibal Sanchez deal and the latest rumors on todays' edition of the Rosters & Rumblings podcast. Click here to listen in, and continue reading for the latest from around the league…
- The Mets are closing in on adding an outfielder, according to Mike Puma of the New York Post. Puma's source tells him that the player hasn't previously been linked to the Mets (Twitter links). Puma doesn't specify if the acquisition would come via free agency or trade. New York has previously been linked to Cody Ross, which seems to rule him out.
- Sanchez's agent, Gene Mato, told Anthony Fetch of the Detroit Free Press that Sanchez left a larger offer from an unnamed team on the table at the Winter Meetings. The right-hander didn't want to make his decision based solely on money but also on where he felt comfortable.
- Brewers general manager Doug Melvin told Jim Bowden of MLB Network Radio on Sirius XM that his team is interested in Jon Rauch, Jason Frasor, Kyle Farnsworth and Mike Gonzalez (Twitter link).
- Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald tweets that the Marlins aren't particularly interested in Peter Bourjos because they'd prefer a better hitting outfielder. Earlier today it was reported that the Fish may be interested in Bourjos.
- Some teams aren't convinced that Hiroyuki Nakajima's glove is good enough to play shortstop at the Major League level, tweets Buster Olney of ESPN. The Japanese slugger signed with the Athletics earlier today.
- Former Cubs coach Pat Listach has been hired by the Dodgers as the team's new minor league infield coordinator, according to Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune (on Twitter).

Blue Jays Notes: Bullpen, Romero, Johnson, Villanueva
MLB.com's Gregor Chisholm provides a look at the Blue Jays upcoming offseason and tackles a host of free agent issues in the process:
- Of the team's four free agents — Kelly Johnson, Brandon Lyon, Jason Frasor and Carlos Villanueva — the most likely to return is Frasor or Lyon. The bullpen has become a position of depth, however, with the acquisitions of Steve Delabar and Brad Lincoln. Sergio Santos should return in 2013 as well. That could mean all four free agents will find new homes.
- The team has no interest in shopping Ricky Romero and selling on the left-hander when his value is at an all-time low.
- There doesn't appear to be much interest in retaining Johnson, according to Chisholm. The team once had eyes on bringing Marco Scutaro back to Toronto, but his torrid run with the Giants has likely made him too spendy. Instead, Adeiny Hechavarria or Mike Aviles could take the role.
- The Blue Jays aren't willing to give Villanueva a multi-year deal and an opportunity to pitch out of the rotation — two things that the free agent is seeking. He'll likely pitch elsewhere in 2013.
- Anibal Sanchez will probably get an "extended look," according to Chisholm, but it's more likely that GM Alex Anthopoulos will upgrade the rotation via trade.

Qt5-Based KDE KWin Enters Usable State
Published on 13 September 2013 12:56 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
6 Comments
The next-generation KDE KWin window manager for KDE Frameworks 5 and using the Qt 5.x tool-kit is quickly entering a usable state and can now handle "dogfeeding" by its developers.
Martin Gräßlin reported today that the next-generation KWin code is to a state where he tried replacing his currently running KWin with the experimental code using Qt5. The new code isn't yet fully functional but after fixing up some regressions, most of the key functionality is now present.
The KWin compositor Martin is presently testing with is the OpenGL 2.x back-end using EGL as the GLX version is currently broken. Martin's also hoping for EGL driver adoption ahead of KDE Frameworks 5 so that they could just drop their GLX code. The open-source Mesa drivers have EGL but the binary AMD and NVIDIA drivers are still what's holding up the EGL adoption process on the Linux desktop, but that should change soon.
More details on the latest KWin developments can be found via
Martin's blog

Add a new section on photos of old cave paintings under the "Examples" section?[edit]
Given this Village pump/Copyright discussion, would it be useful to add the example "Photograph of an old cave painting found on the Internet, or in a book" under the "Examples" section?
- Photograph of an old cave painting found on the Internet, or in a book
- Usually Not OK Cave painting is usually done on a surface that is curved and uneven, which means that the resulting work has a 3D aspect which is different from a normal 2D painting on a flat canvas. As previously mentioned, {{PD-art}} cannot be used for photos of 3D works. (In addition, a photo of cave painting may incorporate creative input with regard to framing if the photo was intended to include only a portion of the original cave painting.)

The obvious way to promote a bundled dependency to a global module is by moving the directory from
node_modules/foo/node_modules/baz to
node_modules/baz but is that all I have to do? Is there a secret handshake, without which things will mysteriously go wrong?
(While I'm asking yes/no questions: I notice that npm drops the node_module under whatever directory I happen to be in at the moment. Is this intended behavior -- I can see how it would be useful for recursive installation of dependencies -- or did I, with no sense of irony, mess up the installation of npm?)
(And speaking of yes/no questions about messed-up installations, my install of node does not automatically look in its own node_modules directory, I had to add it to NODE_PATH. Is this expected behavior?)
My appraisal after two days of node.js: great product, I don't see why it isn't even more popular than it is -- I'm most the way through solving a problem that is absolutely unsolvable in the standard Apache/Tomcat systems I'm used to -- but it's harder to find answers to really simply question, like the above, than the big-picture ones ("how do I connect to MySQL?" "how do I load-balance?")
