Tigers, Tribe seek statement win in series finale
Verlander looks to rebound, while Ubaldo tries to extend success
Justin Verlander didn't want to spend too much time looking at video or tweaking his mechanics after one of the worst starts of his impressive career Thursday.
Instead, he put in a little extra work on the mound to prepare for Wednesday's matchup with Ubaldo Jimenez and the American League Central-leading Indians at Progressive Field.
After giving up eight runs in 2 2/3 innings against the Rangers his last time out, Verlander utilized an extra day between starts and threw two side sessions over the weekend in Texas to try to nail down his mechanics and regain some degree of consistency in his fastball command. Verlander said the extra work went "all right," and he'd withhold final judgment until after Wednesday's start.
"What he's starting to do right now is just repeat his delivery, hit the location, especially with his fastball. Because, to me, his breaking stuff and his changeup have been really good," Tigers pitching coach Jeff Jones said. "It's just been mostly fastball location, trying to make sure he does the same thing with his body.
"Everybody goes through a little something from time to time. I think we're kind of spoiled that he hasn't gone through very much in quite a while. Everybody goes through stuff and looks at stuff, and then try to make adjustments. Usually, during the season, you're making small adjustments, and that's basically what we're doing."
Verlander had his share of difficulties in his last start against the Tribe on May 11, walking five and allowing four runs (three earned) in five innings. This could be a big start for Verlander and the Tigers, as they look to build on Tuesday's 5-1 win, slow down the streaking Indians and regain some ground in the AL Central in the finale of this two-game series. But Cleveland has plenty on the line, as well.
The Indians won five in a row before losing Tuesday's opener, and they've still won 18 of their past 23. They can keep the Tigers at bay and send a message to the rest of the AL Central by salvaging a series split, and Jimenez can try to prove that his recent success is more than just a hot streak.
Jimenez is 3-0 with a 1.90 over his past four appearances, and he has at least eight strikeouts in three straight starts, including a season-high nine Friday against Seattle. He's nearly cut his ERA in half since April 21, and that stretch included a victory against the Tigers on May 11, when he allowed one run in six innings, also opposite Verlander.
Jimenez managed to hold Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera to just one single in that game. He'd probably feel fortunate to do the same Wednesday considering what the reigning Triple Crown winner is capable of at the plate.
Cabrera homered Tuesday, giving him four in his past two games.
"I mean, pretty special hitter," Cleveland manager Terry Francona said. "The problem with it is, there's times you have to pitch with him, there's times you have to get him out. There's times where you'll take a single, as opposed to [not] keeping it in the ballpark. Because I guarantee, if you pitch around him all day, they're going to score."
Tigers: Dotel back on schedule
• Octavio Dotel is once again throwing on schedule as he works his way back from elbow inflammation, which has sidelined him for a month. The Tigers shut down Dotel more than a week ago, when he felt some discomfort while throwing. He went on a six-day medication cycle and is now throwing without pain at the Tigers' Spring Training complex in Florida.
Dotel will eventually have to work his way through a Minor League rehab assignment, so his return is not imminent. Detroit has struggled to fill his middle-relief role.
• Al Alburquerque has reported to Triple-A Toledo after being optioned last Wednesday. He wasn't with the Mud Hens this weekend, as he had to attend to a personal matter in the Dominican Republic.
• Brayan Villarreal, also with the Mud Hens, is working on repeating his delivery from inning to inning. He has put together consecutive strong outings after walking the bases loaded last Thursday.
Indians: Perez deletes Twitter account
• Closer Chris Perez deleted his @ChrisPerez54 Twitter account after two rough outings and issued a statement saying he did so to "minimize any potential off-the-field distractions" and focus more on the Indians and their "shared goals moving forward."
"I don't know about it being a good idea or a bad idea," Francona said. "I understand his reasoning was to focus more on what we're doing. So I thought his thought process was really good. I don't think I've looked at a Twitter in my life. I don't even know if I know how. But I like his reasoning, so I'm cool with it."
• Nick Swisher and his wife, JoAnna, welcomed a daughter into their family, and Swisher was placed on the paternity leave list Tuesday, meaning he'll miss one to three games. In the meantime, Cleveland recalled infielder Cord Phelps from Triple-A Columbus.
Francona slotted Michael Brantley in the cleanup spot for Tuesday's game, so the left fielder has appeared in every spot in the order through 43 games this season. Brantley drove in the lone Indians run Tuesday, hitting a sacrifice fly in the first.
Worth noting
• Cabrera's sixth-inning homer Tuesday night was his 12th of the season and the 333rd of his career, which gave him sole possession of the 100th spot on the list of all-time home run leaders.
• The Indians have gone 18-8 this season in games following a win and 7-10 after a loss.

*My ticket into the Shirts on Sale Sad Rat Race Once you get your shirt, why don't you post a pic?
Oh wow...just not for me. It's quite amusing though, and very detailed as well. Congrats to the artist on the print
Oh wow, that's interesting? Congrats lucky, I loved your jacuzeggs design. xD At least they put it up in time for Christmas.
too busy ......... !
Fun! Once again, a bit late. But in all honestly, I don't do "once a year" shirts too much Hmm - would have been a better sell in an Escalade!
I'd buy it if it were on a christmas color.
Creative, but best left for comical Christmas cards. I don't know how I feel about wearing this as a shirt.
Nice use of 5 colors.
Congratulations on the print, Lucky! Wonderful wordplay as well, and I dig your subtle use of the shirt colour.
I didn't know whether I was to laugh or cry. I did both... ...simultaneously congrats on the print though, nice details, just not my style
Congrats Keith! Btw, I do love the ninja pandas :D
Definitely could not wear that llo neat idea though.

Everyone is so supportive. Seriously... you will be lucky if you are not stabbed by the fashion police and drug around town.
Herm, no. Kinda funny, but not to wear.
looks cool but I don't see myself wearing it.
would be neat larger, like a poster I think - easier to see all the detals.

Agree on both points!
sorry, but I don't wear baby blue shirts. Interesting design though.
ahaha "wear this to the santogold show" a week ago I wouldnt have gotten that.
I suppose I could buy this to clean the rims on my car with...
Is Kris Blingle supposed to be a satire of Chris Bangle, the chief designer at BMW?

Yuck. SO not my style...

Kris Kringle is another name for Santa Claus, St. Nicholas, etc.
The way Woot ships stuff, they should have put this up in September. Enjoy your Christmas shirt in 2009!
I think it's a satire of Kris Kringle but he has his massive amounts of bling, therefore he's called Kris Blingle.
Ovaltina, my goat NO WAY A HOLIDAY SHIRT THAT COULD ARRIVE ON TIMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I like the clock. Flavaa-Flaaaav.
Lucky1988 is one of my favorite derbyists, but this design just isn't doing it for me. There's just too much going on, and I prefer my Santas to look more like Father Christmas than Mr. T. Too bad 'cause I'd love to give him some of my money.
Grats on the print, but I think I speak for most people when I say...I wouldn't be caught dead wearing this.
funny, but not a baby blue fan. congrats! wore/showed off my ninja panda shirt yesterday =)
Sweet! Saved 10 bucks!
I hate it. If I didnt hate it, I'd have to pay $15 for it to wear before Xmas. And where would I wear it? No way.
Why would you do that to a (edit) Ferrari?
It reminds me of the "Big Daddy" Roth stuff from long ago - remember "Rat Fink" (presuming you are old enough?)
i love the cartoon style, but i don't like the randomness of this shirt plus the santa ref; shirts like these scare me when random shirt days come by

-*rbdGood For EyebrowsThis product is good for plucking/waxing your eyebrows. I havent tried it anywhere else...posted Nov 2, 2006Link to this post
ReginaBaltimore, MDIt WorksI used it and it works. First do not have any alcohol, meat or spicy food. The chemicals in those food does not allow the lidocaine to work. Touch the area to be sprayed. Feel it. Then spray so that it reaches the skin, not just on the hair. After spraying, wait for 5 minutes. Then spray again. Massage the liquid into the skin. Wait for at least 20 mintues. Touch the area, you will feel numb. Then wax. But the nerves deep inside the body will still be sensitive. So it only removes the sting associated with waxing, but not the pain.posted Oct 17, 2006Link to this post
AmberSeattleI Love It!!!I have never been able to tolerate home waxing (althogh I still give it a shot when a new product comes out) so I go t a salon regulary since it is slightly more bearable(Im pretty sensative). A couple of visits ago my waxer who recently discovered this product raved abot it and used it on me, It was absolutely fabulous, the best wax ever!!! She used it on my next visit with equal results so much so that I tracked it down and ordered some to give it the old home test. I tried it two days ago, and while waxing at home will never be as easy as at the salon, I can finally tolerate it with this product. My skin never feels numb, or really much different at all but the proof is in the waxing and Ill never wax without it again.posted Apr 29, 2006Link to this post
MoniqeTXDont BotherIt does absolutely nothing. Its a waste of $10. I have had success with their brand of waxing,but not this. It hurt very bad.. i will wait until i can find a good numbing spray.posted Mar 7, 2006Link to this post
KellieI'm Just Not SureI used this product with the Gigi Brazilian hard wax kit, and found the experience to be less painful than getting my brows waxed. Im not sure if the spray helps though, because ive never used this particular wax without it. Either the nature of the brazilian hard wax is very low on the pain scale, or the numbing spray really helps. Every other wax ive used, however, i used without any sort of numbing product, and found that waxing hurt like... yeah. So... Im too much of a scared wimp to not use the spray now. Its kind of pricey for a tiny bottle, but you dont have to use much. I think it helps... maybe its placebo.The active ingredient is lidocaine. Lidocaine is dirt cheap, so $10 seems sort of unreasonable. But id hesitate to try something else before waxing, because other lidocaine oils might not be compatible with waxing. A slight word of caution... Lidocaine is also a relatively common allergen, and can cause itching/redness/swelling/hives. I did not see any allergy warnings on this product. Allergic sensitivity + waxing = a possibly hideous/painful rash. It might be well worth a patch test beforehand. If you think you are experiencing an icky reaction, see your doc.posted Nov 25, 2005Link to this post
AlisonAustraliaWorthlessno wonder they dont sell this in Australia, its totally worthless. the numbing spray does not numb the skin, it might as well be water. do not be a sucker like me and buy it thinking it will be a way to reduce pain, the only way to do that is to keep going back.. it never hurts as much as the first time.posted Sep 6, 2005Link to this post
Stacey LarrWashington, DCOk, Rediculous...So, you would assume that all these bad reviews are from dissatisfied customers who have had at least some good results with the product. Well, I went ahead and got the product. I would never have thought that it could be complete junk.I tried the product on my arm to test it. It had no effect, so I decided to spray the crap out of the same spot on my arm. I sprayed the same spot 4 times. Each time I waited 2 minutes after spraying again. I tugged at the hairs on my arm where I sprayed it, and compared the feeling to that of my other arm at the exact same spot. The spray had absolutely NO EFFECT except to make my arm smell bad.posted Aug 29, 2005Link to this post

Great reviews -- thanks.
I don't get as much time on snow as I would like so a "quiver" isn't really my priority. I took on a Proto CT last weekend in spring conditions (ice/corn/machine groomed) and fell in love. For the kind of riding I do (groomers almost exclusively) I'd like your opinion on the Proto being a one-board quiver. I haven't gotten a chance to ride an SL but the impression I get from all the posts I've been reading is that the SL is a higher speed, more carving oriented board (than the Proto). |

This was the hardest list I have had to make since joining Football Nation.Narrowing down a list of around 50 players to about 10 is not an easy task. However, it is very fun.Do I take Roger Craig or Ray Rice? Boomer Esiason or Randall Cunningham? Jack Lambert or Mike Singletary? What about Howie Long or Michael Strahan?Those were just a few of the decisions I had to make.Among the criteria that goes into the selections are career accomplishments, Super Bowl victories and the overall pick the player was selected at.I also did players from the merger until the start of the 2010 season. I feel a player should have at least three seasons under their belt before they even belong in a conversation such as this.Here are the top 10 second-round selections in NFL history. Enjoy!

Ears one bunny who finally got the point after driving fed up neighbours hopping mad eating their plants and vegetables.
Bodo - allowed to live wild by his owners - had run riot in Worme, Germany, where one fed-up gardener was driven to extreme measures to protect his carrot crop.
"I'm always chasing him out of my garden, he's a real pest. But when he turned up one morning I couldn't believe it when I saw a crossbow bolt sticking out of his neck," said neighbour Petra Jurss.
"It didn't seem to be bothering him but I called the police because it's terrible that someone could do this," she added.
Vets and wildlife experts managed to removed the bolt from Bodo's neck and say he is making a full recovery.
A police spokesman said: "We have interviewed several people but no-one is saying anything and nobody saw or heard anything. He isn't a very popular animal."

I am a Replblican and no matter how hard I try, I just don't get how Democrats think.
We could cut social security and force an 85 year old women to go get a job.
Or we could cut welfare cash payments and force a 25 year old women to go get a job.
The job market is going to be tough for both...I get that...but I'd still rather cut the 25 year old's income rather than the 85 year old's income.
"I'd still rather cut the 25 year old's income rather than the 85 year old's income."
Not me. If the 25 year old has children, I'd rather she and her children be at a reasonable financial base to ensure that her kids are cared for, especially nutritionally, so they can function reasonably well in school, and go on to become productive adults.
As far as the 85 year old, her family (assuming she has one) should help toward her care, IMHO.
Admittedly, there is some personal bias in my view. We had an 85 year old family member who's Republican extended family ran to Medicare when it was time to care for her.
Their response when asked that they actually pay some of her end-of-life costs? Fuhgetaboutit.
Two things,
1) A current American 85 year old has it so much better than her parents ever had it, and most likely so much better than her children will have it when WE! turn 85. The greatest generation will have the greatest old age benefits not to be repeated because they aren't sustainable (what with the enormous unfunded liabilities of both SS and Medicare).
2) Medicare benefits for end-of-life situations e.g. hospice, etc. are incredibly generous (my mother passed in Florida and I'm from Canada and how she was treated by fully government paid for medical workers and what they charged Medicare for that level of care was ... unbelievable). There was no need to pay for some of her end-of-life costs.
Agree, and agree. David Brooks on PBS said it best last night, to paraphrase -
"For the US to get it's economy and deficits on track, it needs to decrease benefits to the aged, and increase investment in its youth."
Yep, I got alot of time for David Brooks.
It's the best use of 12 minutes each week. :)
Among the best uses for 12 minutes each week...
Not me. If the 25 year old has children, I'd rather she and her children be at a reasonable financial base to ensure that her kids are cared for, especially nutritionally, so they can function reasonably well in school, and go on to become productive adults.
Ironic that you think the unproductive 25 year old mother will have productive children.
I sure hope you're not saying, Once black, stupid and lazy always black stupid and lazy ... because if you are that would hateful, bigotted and despicable, certainly nothing that I would hope to read from the 13th Libertarian.
Ironic that you don't seem to understand enlightened self-interest -
"Behavior based on awareness that what is in the public interest is eventually in the interest of all individuals and groups."
"I sure hope you're not saying, once black, stupid and lazy always black stupid and lazy ..."
It might be what Lib13 is suggesting. However, I didn't see the comment as initially racial, and I hope it wasn't meant that way.
"Among the best uses for 12 minutes each week..."
I stand corrected. And, fortunately there are lots of 12 minutes within each individual week. :)
Ha, ha.
"Fuhgetaboutit." Yes, that´s the problem with elective, self-respect-born public sense.Fewer people each year feel like exercising it.Or maybe I´m being pessimistic.
I must have missed the word "black" in his post. Are you betraying a typically liberal trait of detecting racism where there may be none?
Maybe, I probably could have used the same form of epithet using white trash and the point would have been the same that intergenerational putdowns as in "the acorn doesn't fall far from the tree" or "Ironic that you think the unproductive 25 year old mother will have productive children" are bigotted, hateful and despicable.
It has nothing to do with intergenerational putdowns or racist insults. Libertarian13 was making a simple observation which has almost always been supported by data that children born to uneducated, lazy, and unproductive parents are far more likely to follow in the footsteps. This observation doesn't stem from racism - these outcomes happen because of culture and certain habits that are inculcated in our progeny from an early age.
If I have a parent who has always stayed home, never bothered to check up on my school work, never read to me when I was little (leave alone talk to me while I was in the womb), never followed up with the teacher when my absenteeism from school was reported, never bothered to push me to study for the SATs and apply to college, never went to the parent-teachers conference, never refrained from smoking, drinking and doing drugs in front of me, never could hold down a relationship with a normal guy who stuck around and acted like a father figure, then it is quite likely I will not turn out very well.
Libertarian's point was made well and understood by most others. But some of you have a reactionary attitude to anything that has a stronger incidence in certain races we term minorities and it immediately signals racism to you.
Actually it signifies ignorance and hard heartedness towards children who through no fault of their own begin life with much lower opportunities and expectations on them. Whereas everything you say may be and most likely is true for "you" if you had all those obstacles, I would like to think that western societies won't give up on you and making stereotypical denigrating comments about you and your ability to be productive, IMHO, is at the very least ignorant and hard hearted, at worst bigotted, hateful and despicable.
As well, I was asking Libertarian13 to clarify, not stating he was making a racist statement. However it was you, ChairmanRao who had a "reactionary attitude" to that.
Why is the onus on him to prove there was no racism implied when the literal reading of his text doesn't infer it? I think you're way off here.
This is where the PC-liberal crowd has gone so far off the deep end that every statement is suspect and every individual making any statement, however supported by statistical evidence, must also insert all kinds of disclaimers and disavow any possible racist inference. This attitude has killed any chance at a serious debate on several topics.
So if we say we need to crack down on crime, we are hateful towards blacks. If we say we should enforce immigration laws that are already on the books we automatically racist towards hispanics unless we prove otherwise. If we say single mothers must try harder to first, not land themselves in that situation, and second, to land a job instead of surviving on welfare, the onus is on us to prove we weren't being racist.
You are using emotional imagery here to overshadow the valid point being made. We are all sorry for the plight of those children and wish to improve their situation. Discussion of the faults of the parents does not mean we will leave the children to fend for themselves. Where has anyone suggested western society will give up on the children?
The argument being made is that the best measure here to help the children is a preventative one instead of a reactive one i.e. prevent the mother from getting into such a situation in the first place where she has children without a father, without any money, without education or skills, without the responsibility for it, and without the incentive or interest in looking for a job.
Make people more responsible for their actions and behaviors which an extra-generous safety net works against. Attitudes such as yours make it extremely difficult to talk about such situations because you either use the emotional plight of the child to paint your opponents as despicable and heartless or you use minorities to paint your opponents as racist.
Firstly, your statement here is one we can both agree fully with.
Secondly, I used the word biggoted not racist when describing Lib's comment and bigotry is the state of mind of a bigot: someone who, as a result of their prejudices, treats other people with hatred, contempt, and intolerance. I had hoped my clarification of replacing "black" with "white trash" would have dispelled the notion that I was implying racism. Obviously not, because of your continuing claim that I am racism accuser, which I was not. Rushing to accuse someone of being a "racism accuser" is just as unhelpful as rushing to accuse someone of being a racist. Don't you agree?
Attitudes towards the poor and those without hope and opportunity can be just as biggotted as attitudes towards race.
Your points above clarify that we are on the same page, however as a newer TE article on women's health issues indicates, the American right continues to abort efforts to allow women to be in control of their sexual and reproductive health, which as you so eloquently stated is the best solution - " to prevent the mother from getting into such a situation in the first place where she has children without a father, without any money, without education or skills, without the responsibility for it, and without the incentive or interest in looking for a job."
Appreciated the discussion/debate here.
Sounds like the typical liberal remark. We must take care of everyone, that is one of the reasons why we are broke.
"Sounds like the typical liberal remark." - Ad hominem.
"We must take care of everyone..." - Strawman.
"...that is one of the reasons why we are broke." -
Fallacy. Today, T-bills pay at 1.72%, while inflation is at 2%. The public makes nearly 0.3% on its government borrowing.
C4U, debating takes time. If you want folks to debate you, please work harder.

VAIL, Colo. (AP) - Vail Mountain and Breckenridge Ski Resort are reopening for more skiing and riding Friday through Sunday on part of their terrain.
Both ski resorts held closing day festivities last Sunday, but Vail says it's had 2 more feet of snow since then, and Breckenridge has had 16 inches. Lift tickets will be $50, or $25 for people with season passes from other resorts. Access is free for Vail Resorts Inc. season pass holders.
Aspen Highlands is also offering a bonus weekend April 27-28 after its previously scheduled closing day this Sunday.
Winter Park is assessing if it will extend the season past its closing day Sunday.
Loveland plans to stay open through May 5, and Arapahoe Basin doesn't plan to close until June 2.

Apple v. Samsung
- Apple can't have an injunction against Samsung phones, court rules
- Supreme Court ruling won't kill Apple's 'slide to unlock' patent
- Samsung, Apple end lawsuits around the world, will still fight in US
- Supreme Court's new rules on abstract patents hit Apple v. Samsung
- The jury is in: Samsung infringes, but damages to Apple are a "mere" $120M
No longer will we have to guess how many iPod touches Apple has sold—the company has revealed the device's sales figures for the first time in evidence submitted for its ongoing Apple v. Samsung trial (hat tip to All Things D for the full chart). Apple has sold 46.5 million iPod touch units in the US between the device's introduction in 2007 and the second quarter of 2012. (That's in addition to the nearly 86 million iPhones and 34 million iPads sold during that time.)
While Apple has always been happy to brag about its iPhone and iPad sales numbers, it has been coy about the iPod touch. Apple has said that more than 50 percent of overall iPod sales are from the iPod touch, but it has not previously broken the numbers down. The iPod touch's sales numbers are of particular interest because the overall iPod brand has been seeing sales declines every quarter since mid-2009. Sure, "old" style iPods are certainly on the way out, but the iPod touch is more like an iPhone lite, leading to a lot of curiosity about how well the device sells.
Samsung, by comparison, revealed that it has sold 21.25 million smartphones in the US between June 2010 and June 2012, along with 1.4 million tablets. (Keep in mind that the smartphone number only included devices at issue in the trial, not Samsung's full lineup.) But even when you only look at Apple's data from those same quarters, the differences are stark—the company sold almost 63 million iPhones, 34 million iPads, and 25.3 million iPod touches during the same period. Even the weakest link of the iOS family—the iPod touch—is selling faster than a large chunk of Samsung's portfolio.
Samsung has a stronger position over Apple when it comes to global sales of its devices, but it's clear the company has a ways to go if it wants to catch up on phone and tablet sales here in the US. Earlier this week, Samsung submitted evidence to the court that showed 9 percent of Galaxy Tab buyers were returning their devices in exchange for an iPad, with another 10 percent returning their tablets because they didn't like the usability of the OS (Honeycomb).

Have really enjoyed your blog and will be sorry to see it come to an end .
Apparently England didn't win
It's a pretty short drive from Dover to Boughton -being one of England's hundreds of lovely old villages, and a very short distance from Canterbury. We stayed at a pub which was built in the 1400s and restored in the 1980s. We had two nights, Saturday and Sunday. It's another beautiful pub. The interior had loads of the original rough sawn timbers still. Back to English breakfasts too. We felt a bit sorry for this German couple who were standing at the breakfast buffet looking at the little packets of rice bubbles wondering where all the food was. The waitress said to them "Having the full English this morning are we?" and we could see they didn't have a clue what she was talking about. It was a treat to see them staring from the baked beans and fried bread on their plates to each other and back again. Of course they got their revenge only a few hours later when Germany flogged England in the World Cup.
We've seen the World cup unfold in Poland, the Czech Republic, Germany and Holland. There's been flags flying from cars, young women with stick-on flags on their faces, t-shirts, all about the same. All good natured as well as passionate. We have to saay it isn't like that in England. It was a bit desperate. The papers ran a jingoistic anti-German line the day before, and several of them went on about "the war". After it all came crashing down, the papers were baying for blood. Even the BBC morning show was asking why England lost to Germany. The England captain summed it up rationally - he said, they're a brilliant side and they deserved to win. We saw four seperate incidents on the afternoon of the match - one before and three after. All involved young male England fans and all included ugly racist/anti-German bile and menacing behaviour to random passers by. One was directed at a group of German school students on an excursion in Canterbury. We saw nothing like it anywhere else. We wonder why it is so hard to accept a loss graciously, at least in this competition. And we got bailed up by a very drunk bloke in the pub who gave us a very long and tedious post-mortem.
That's the serious bit over. The weather is still fabulous - 30 degrees and blazing sunshine. We've both had the consistently best summer weather we've ever experienced - who'd have thought it in Europe and Britain? How lucky are we...
Canterbury is lovely as lots of people will know. Dave hasn't seen it before but Di has. Of course we should stay longer but we can't have everything. We really enjoyed the stay in a little village again. As with our friends in Wezup, Holland, it allowed us to smell nature and walk on the grass and soil.
We've put some photos of both Boughton and Canterbury on this page. We've also put three short videos on of a ride through the back roads of Kent. It's such stunning country that instead of cutting the footage down to about two minutes, we've put three up of two plus minutes each. Our biker friends I reckon will enjoy the roads and loads of people should find some scenery to enjoy. They're each about 25 Mb so you may have to start them then pause them for a short while to let the buffering catch up. It's worth it. Dries and Paula - these are perfect for 80 km/hr rides on old English iron - although the roads are pretty rough. We wish we'd shot some on-bike footage of rural Holland too. It's beautiful in a different way.
A certain someone has made a subtle reference to V8 Holden utes and perhaps implied it's a bit excessive? Our response is, you don't need a 5.7 litre V8 - until you've got one of your own...
We're in London now, back at Earl's Court - Jackson Browne at the Albert Hall tomorrow night. Can't wait!
jackson browne is a great act always loved his musical ability especially songwriting. he doesn;t seem to age! AND HIS VOICE IS AMAZING, SHOULDBE A GREAT CONCERT. DAVE WE ARE ADDING A FEW NEW SONGS IF YOU AGREEN WITH GOOD BASS RIFFS. HAVE YOU HAD A CHANCE TO PLAY OR ARE YOU TOO BUSY TRAVELLING GETTING EVERYTHING IN. UNREAL JOURNEY YOU HAVE MADE AND WITH WEATHER SO SIMILAR TO MT GAMBIER (NOT), MY SENSE OF HUMOUR REGARDING WEATHER IS STARTING TO SUBSIDE! CHEERS PHIL
Thank you for the beautiful account, photos and videos of Kent. Takes us back to England's green and pleasant land with its lush greenery. You are probably there at the best time before the higher temperatures which Britain now experiences, kill the grass. The villages look classical. These are the things we still miss even though we love Australia and are so grateful for what it has given to us. Must go and pick up Erica for our regular Wenesday outing. We may go to see Shrek 3 this arfo. Haven't seen films 1 and 2 but it probably doesn't matter. On a Mt. Gambier winter's day of ten degrees, the pics. are a good option. Lots of love. Mum and Dad.
Aha, some cold feet coming up, but changing the subject from pedigree to amount of cilinders won't help. Thing is that I realised that a certain make of car has origines in Chevy's who are GM products as are Vauxhall's and Opel's. So one could argue whether a certain make of car is not sort of a beefed up Opel Kadett. Because these happen to be originating from Germany one could conclude that certain Australian's are driving German SUV's.
cheers from a fellow SUV driver

Changing the Economics of Storage with Compellent Flash Optimized Solutions
Click here to download now
Overview: As the exponential data growth and an increasing pressure on the data center to become more efficient continues, a traditional "one size fits all" strategy for storage design is no longer adequate. Trends such as server virtualization, proliferation of multi-core processors, and a rising adoption of desktop virtualization are increasing the requirement for high I/O performance with low latency and very fast response times. On the other side of the spectrum, an explosive growth of unstructured data drives the need for capacity-optimized storage.
Discover how Dell Compellent Flash-optimized solutions can help organization align storage performance with application requirements and optimize both performance and capacity.

The latest on Superstorm Sandy recovery efforts in New Jersey and New York:
The main utility on New Yorks Long Island, the Long Island Power Authority, says that more than 14,000 homes and businesses still lack power but that most should have it back on by Wednesday. An additional 38,000 wont because of lingering flood damage.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo orders an investigation into how utility companies prepared for and reacted to the storm.
An attorney files a lawsuit claiming negligence by LIPA and contractor National Grid. It seeks unspecified damages and class-action status.
New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn calls for more buried power lines, generators at gas stations and other measures to help prepare for future storms.
Rationing efforts end in New Jersey end but continue in Long Island and New York City, where Mayor Michael Bloomberg says hell leave the system in place for a while.
A major auto tunnel between Brooklyn and Manhattan, the Hugh L. Carey Tunnel, will reopen soon to all traffic after being swamped by the storm surge, government officials tell The Associated Press.
Officials say more than 100,000 gallons of diesel fuel have been recovered after a spill in Arthur Kill, a waterway between New Jersey and Staten Island. Theyve been using skimmers, a boom and other materials to clean up the 378,000 gallons that spilled.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency has approved more than $127 million in individual assistance in New Jersey in the two weeks since the storm hit.
Bloomberg announces seven new disaster-relief centers opening in hard-hit areas of New York City, including Queens Rockaway section, Staten Island and Brooklyns Coney Island. Theyll offer assistance to those still lacking power, heat and hot water and will help people applying for emergency aid and seeking advice on repairs.

Descent, Scene #04
Next up is an outdoor scene, in which the beautiful Nick Moore tends to the cock of ruggedly handsome Mark Mason, taking Mason's cock down his throat over and over again as his saliva builds up in his mouth. Mason then shows his own talent for cocksucking, chowing down on Moore's sizeable tool like he was born to do it. The two men trade off cocksucking again before Mason bends Moore over a concrete divider and slams his cock up inside the willing submissive's hole. For his part, Moore just clenches his teeth and takes it, his eyes winced into a look of pleasure mixed with glorious pain. Then Mason lies on his back while Moore licks his balls and gets a hot load on his face. Mmmm, dinner!

"Apartment living tends to be more convenient to begin with," said Rick Haughey, vice president of industry technology initiatives with the Washington-based National Multi Housing Council. "Adding these lifestyle amenities and conveniences makes the lifestyle even more compelling."
Nationwide, the trade association is seeing an upswing in apartment technologies such as keyless entry systems, wireless thermostats integrated to smartphones and resident key fobs.
Smart technology is also giving some apartment communities a competitive edge by expediting the leasing process.
"As you're touring the facility, the leasing agent can be taking in your information and interests on the iPad, and when you get to the lease, all this is incorporated, which speeds up the process," Haughey said.
Thanks to the innovations, it's easy to control an apartment's systems with a smartphone. But Haughey cautioned that the technology will collect data, "and we're trying to strike a balance between convenience and preserving privacy."
Here's a sample of high-tech amenities that prospective tenants can find at luxury apartment buildings.
Keyless entry. At new high-rises like K2, Optima Chicago Center and 500 Lake Shore Drive, residents access units through key fob entry systems. The systems also let residents access amenity areas, and ensure they don't enter prohibited areas.
Fob-reading elevators. The technology goes a step further at 500 Lake Shore Drive, where the elevator system incorporates a key fob. "You wave your key fob under a reader as you enter the elevator banks, and it takes you directly to your floor," said Curt Bailey, president of Related Midwest, the developer. "You don't have to press buttons in an elevator."
During high-volume times such as around 8 a.m. or 5 p.m., the system can increase elevator speed by up to 40 percent, he said.
Package tracking. At AMLI River North, the ActiveBuilding app customizes communications for tenants, cultivating a sense of community. For example, the system alerts residents about package deliveries, allows them to reserve the clubroom or connect with other residents.
"Residents log on through the ActiveBuilding website and are on their way to using the system," said Jennifer Wolf, senior vice president of AMLI Residential.
A similar feature called BuildingLink lets K2 residents track packages and get building alerts on mobile devices, said Alan Schachtman, executive vice president and principal of K2 developer The Fifield Cos.
Distributed antenna system. Bailey said 500 Lake Shore Drive ensures wireless service is available with a distributed antenna system. "It's designed with the (cellular) carriers," he said. "The benefit is that you will have full five bars of service when in your unit."
Tracking workouts. Precor Preva equipment in AMLI River North's fitness center has Internet connectivity that lets residents track workouts and monitor progress, Wolf said. K2's fitness center features Technogym equipment, with large screens that can display content downloaded to users' iPhones. "Because it's Internet connected, you can log on the Technogym website, create a profile and track your workouts," Schachtman said.
Tech gurus. The technology concierge at 500 Lake Shore Drive can help residents do everything from setting up their Xbox to hanging a flat-screen TV.
Optima Chicago Center's residents can lease 175-square-foot offices complete with an information technology backup team, said Optima Inc. President and CEO David Hovey.
Bluetooth audio system. K2 apartments have Bluetooth audio systems with built-in wall speakers and amplifier. The system has two separate inputs, one connected to your flat screen, the other to the Bluetooth receiver.
"You can pair your phone or device with the Bluetooth receiver and stream music through the speakers," Schachtman said. "It comes with a separate remote allowing you to change the inputs or volume remotely. ... The audio from the flat screen can be streamed through the speakers as well."
Convenient charging. AMLI River North apartments have power outlets with USB ports, making it easier for residents to charge portable devices, Wolf said.
As more apartment buildings roll out high-tech perks, property managers would likely agree with Bailey's view: "Our residents work very hard. If we can lighten their load through technology, that's a real goal for us."

Asics Gel Solution Speed Men's Shoe Review

Comfort | 4.6 |
Ventilation | 4.5 |
Arch Support | 4.0 |
Foot Support/Stability | 3.8 |

- Slippery outsole
The introduction of the Gel Solution Speed marks Asics' entry into the lightweight speed tennis shoe segment. While most speed-oriented shoes are best saved for match play (lacking the durability for repeated long training sessions), Asics has set the bench mark for durability in a speed shoe with the Gel Solution Speed. Both the outsole and the toe durability defied the lightweight feel of this shoe, matching the durability of much heavier offerings. Whether they were wearing this shoe through a long match, walking around the TW offices or hitting the gym, our testers found it to be supremely comfortable. There was enough support and stability for our testers to play as hard as they could, but they were held back by the traction. Each of our testers felt some slippage in these shoes. While some got used to the slippage and were able to adapt, the traction was simply not up to the level of the Gel Resolution series of shoes. Still, this shoe proved very popular with our testers, as it excelled in every other area.
Comfort - Score: 4.6
The Asics Gel Solution Speed impressed our testers with its high level of comfort right out of box. Chris absolutely loved the fit and feel. He said, "I found these shoes ready to rock and roll the moment I put them on. I expect some kind of break-in period with any shoe, but these offered excellent comfort from the get-go. The level of cushioning felt perfect. The ride was plush and comfortable, but I did not feel too elevated from the court. The uppers were soft and supple. I never felt any pinching or discomfort of any kind. This has to be the most comfortable tennis shoe I've ever worn, and I scored it top marks."
These shoes suited Granville. He said, "The Gel Solution Speed fit my foot very well right out of the box and seemed very similar in fit to the Gel Resolution 3. With or without my ankle braces, they had a nice, contoured fit and feel. I felt there was adequate cushioning with the provided insoles and adequate arch support for my foot."
Jason enjoyed the high level of comfort. He said, "Asics has always delivered for me in this section and continues to do so with this Gel Solution Speed. It was very comfortable right from the box, but it got even more comfortable for me with a few hours on it because the toe box widened up slightly. Cushioning was nice and plush, which surprised me a bit because it's such a lightweight shoe."
"A very soft, breathable upper made for no break-in comfort," said Spencer. "Slipper-like would be the term I'd use for this lightweight offering. The shoes flexed and creased well with my feet, so there was no pinching or poking. Right out of the box they offered good comfort, and that transitioned onto the court. They were supportively snug and sustained that feel throughout the playtest."
Ventilation - Score: 4.5
The playtest team loved the breathability. Jason gave high marks. He said, "I haven't played in a more breathable shoe since the Wilson Tour Spin II. With all the perforations in the upper my feet never got too hot or sweaty."
Loving the breathable and stable feel was Spencer. He said, "No problems here. The upper provided more than enough ventilation to keep my feet cool and airy, yet still managed to maintain good support."
Chris had no criticisms here, either. He said, "Another top score from me here. The ventilation felt great. It gave the shoe a light and airy feel, which was in perfect sync with the overall light and fast feel of the shoe."
Granville said, "My feet and shoes stayed cool (although I'm hitting mostly indoors right now). I didn't feel air flowing throughout the shoes, though."
Arch Support - Score: 4.0
With its medium arch support, the Gel Solution Speed was able to please our playtest team. The arch ran true for Spencer. He said, "With a medium arch, I didn't notice any discomfort or abnormalities. Like I always say, if the arch is correct, it won't be noticed."
Chris agreed, adding, "The arch support was spot on. The height was adequate for my medium to high arches, and there was enough stability to protect my arches. I was able to sprint around the court with confidence and was impressed by how supported my arches felt considering the light and flexible feel of the shoes."
Granville added his own insole for a better fit. He said, "It is a fairly typical arch support and insole - no bells and whistles to speak of. I pulled the thin strips out and placed my contoured (Superfeet) insoles into the shoe as soon as they were out of the box. Much better!"
The medium arch didn't really bother Jason, who has rather flat feet. "Surprisingly, the medium arch didn't make my arches too sore. The more I wore it, the more I liked it, because it flattened out. It's like a good wine, it only got better with time."
Foot Support/Stability - Score: 3.8
The uppers provided enough support and stability for most of our team. The support was a highlight for Granville. He said, "Perhaps the best feature of this shoe is its light weight and stability. It hits both marks spot on. At 12.6 ounces (size 10.5), the Gel Solution Speed is well within my 16 oz. per foot rule. The tough rubber upper materials are very stable, yet flexible (and is seen now on several offerings from other shoe makers)."
Spencer was amazed at the level of support. He said, "I was pleasantly surprised with the support and stability, given the weight of the shoe. It's not uncommon to sacrifice these assets when dropping weight in footwear, but the Gel Solution Speed offered plenty. I felt quite comfortable going full speed and changing direction laterally. I never once experienced any indication of a rollover."
"On my first few outings I was wondering how the shoes would hold up for support and stability, due to their light feel," said Chris, who acclimated quickly. "This shoe offers some flex to it, and I was wondering if it would be too much. However, I learned to trust the shoes and found I could play as hard as possible in them and get all the support I needed. The more I wore them, the more I liked them, and I was already in love with their comfort and speed."
Jason didn't see eye to eye with the other testers. He said, "I guess this is the trade-off for such a supple upper. I could feel the uppers give and flex every time I planted my foot. I never felt 100% confident to make a hard cut because of that soft upper. My wide foot might have something to do with it. To its credit, I never came close to rolling my ankle."
Overall Sole Durability - Score: 3.9
The Gel Solution Speed offered excellent durability for a lightweight speed shoe. Chris was amazed with the shoe's durability. He said, "Considering this is a speed shoe, the durability is excellent. Put it up against tennis shoes in general, and it is still pretty good. While not as durable as a guaranteed shoe like the Gel Resolution 4, this shoe held up well. I put a hole through the outsole of my right shoe under my big toe. This is where I'm hardest on shoes, since I drag that part on both serves and forehands, and I have to say I was impressed at how long these lasted in that area."
Spencer agreed. He said, "Though I wouldn't put it in the same durability category as a Nike Courtballistec or adidas Barricade, it certainly holds its own. For a lightweight speed shoe, it offers very good durability."
"This is a tough one for me to score," said Jason. "On the one hand, these shoes weren't as durable as I would've liked and have come to expect from Asics. On the other, when comparing them to other lightweight shoes, the Gel Solution Speed is very durable. I put about 12 hours on them before I noticed some balding on the medial forefoot."
Toe Durability - Score: 4.4
Our toe-dragging tester gave this shoe high praise in this category. In fact, the toe durability left Chris dumbfounded. He said, "The toe tip of each shoe proved to be very durable. I drag my toes a lot, and the toe bumpers held up very well. Factoring in how light, fast and comfortable this shoe is, the toe durability seems to defy logic. This shoe simply should not be this durable."
Traction - Score: 2.9
This is one area where our entire team felt the shoe needed improvement. Granville noticed the lack of traction. He said, "The one big drawback during my testing is the less sticky feel on the court (compared to the Gel Res. 4). The outsole has a harder feel and a sandy sound on the court."
Spencer had similar findings. He said, "This is the only area where I felt there could be some improvement. The outsole felt a little hard compared to the Gel Resolution 4. It gave a 'slappy' type feel on court, and I seemed to lose traction on the more urgent stops and starts. It did seem to gain a bit more traction as the playtest progressed, though still not to the level I would want in a top performance shoe."
Once acclimated, Chris was comfortable with the traction. He said, "Throughout the test I was sliding some in this shoe. It was most noticeable on lateral cuts. Right when I would load up my outside foot to make a change of direction, I would find the outsole losing traction slightly. The sliding remained consistent throughout the test, and I quickly got it dialed in and made allowances for it. The outsoles gripped much better when sprinting or stopping forward, and slipping was minimal."
Jason struggled to get a grip on the court. He said, "I noticed the slipping and sliding issue from the very first playtest, but thought it'd get better after the initial hit. It didn't. There wasn't a specific movement or action that triggered the sliding; I experienced it while changing direction, stopping and starting. I was very disappointed in the traction."
Weight - Score: 4.7
True to its "speed" name, the shoe felt lightweight and fast. This shoe was second to none for Granville. He said, "It's an excellent speed shoe at 12.6 ounces, and the best of the Speed lightweight offerings I've tested."
It was the right mix for Spencer. He said, "There's no doubt the weight was light and fast on the court. Again, I loved the combination of support and stability offered in such a lightweight shoe."
Jason was thoroughly impressed. He said, "The shoes felt light and responsive. I felt like these shoes really helped me with my court coverage and overall speed. Static weight aside, this is one of the lightest feeling shoes I've tested in quite sometime."
"The shoes felt light and fast, yet provided adequate support and impressive toe durability," said Chris. "I was very, very impressed with the level of performance considering how light and fast the shoes feel."
Overall - Score: 4.1
Chris - "I liked the no break-in comfort, the fast feel and the cushioning. I thought they looked great, too."
Granville - "Great fit and feel right out of the box. Good looking shoe - even when green."
Jason - "The cosmetics, weight, comfort and ventilation are what really did it for me."
Spencer - "The fit, comfort, weight and cosmetic."
Chris - "My only knock is the level of lateral traction. Even though I adjusted to the amount of slide I was finding in these shoes, I'd rather not have to make any adjustment at all."
Granville - "The outsole is less sticky than I'm accustomed to from Asics."
Jason - "The support lacked a bit, and I was disappointed in the traction."
Spencer - "The traction could be improved."
Comparing the Gel Solution Speed to other shoes they've worn, our testers said:
Chris - "This shoe offers more support, comfort, cushioning and durability than most of the other light and fast shoes I've tested. This shoe is better cushioned and more durable than a New Balance 851. It also feels faster than the Nike Lunar Vapor 8, yet is more durable. It has become one of my favorite shoes to play in."
Granville - "For those who prefer a light shoe for speed - this offers good performance to match."
Jason - "It feels like a much, much, much better version of the Wilson Tour Spin II. Comparable to the Vapor series from Nike."
Spencer - "I suppose I would compare it with the likes of the adizero Feather, Nike Vapor 9 and New Balance 851. Each of these shoes has its assets, but the Gel Solution Speed is more comfortable than the Feather, more durable than the Vapor and more supportive and stable than the 851."
Playtester Foot Types:
Chris - Narrow width / Medium arch
Granville - Narrow width / Low arch
Jason - Wide width / Low arch
Spencer - Medium width / Medium arch

The Hotel Pulitzer Barcelona recommends "The Asia Festival"
The Asia Festival has reached its tenth year and will celebrate with a wide range of high quality productions from abroad and the presence of the Asian communities in Catalonia. From 16th to 25th September, Barcelona will again become a showcase for the cultural richness and diversity of Asia.
This year's programme puts special emphasis on countries from Central Asia. The Festival will open with the traditional music of the band Turan from Kazakhstan. There will also be the Chinese singer Mamer, greatly influenced by the nomadic Kazakh culture. We will be able to see and participate in demonstrations by fighters from the Naadam Festival in Mongolia, discover the interior of the yurts in the squares of El Raval or learn games from Central Asia.
The Festival will bring to the stage musicians visiting Barcelona for the first time, such as the young bandPe'z (Samurai Jazz Band) from Japan or the Pakistani pop singer Humera Harshad and demonstrations of Kalarippayat (the oldest martial art) by CVN Kalari Shangham from India.
These shows are complemented by a wide range of activities, including games, demonstrations, participatory events and stories, organised by associations and people from Asian communities that will take place within the framework of "A Day in Asia".

Thanks for the info!
Some feedback (try 2, with thoughts better organized):
Has it occurred to you to start putting all of your benchmarking results over on openbenchmarking.org, even the ones you run in-house manually? Separation of concerns and all that.
But even with all your benchmark results shifted over there, it's exactly this kind of article that keeps me coming back to Phoronix. Summarizing info about happenings in the Linux performance / graphics / gaming / open source driver communities. Finding out about things I don't necessarily hear first-hand. This is why I don't want you to retire from being a Phoronix editor; or if you do, replace yourself with people who can capably fill your shoes as far as finding these excellent tidbits.
It's a news site, so give us more news. Thumbs-up for this post and others like it. The benchmarks can go "to that other site you run"
