SHERIDAN—Sheridan College is having a presentation called "Memories of Heart Mountain: The Imprisonment of Japanese Americans during World War II" by Sam Mihara, a former prisoner at the Heart Mountain, Wyoming, and Pomona, California internment camps during World War II. During World War II, the U.S. government forced 9-year-old Sam Mihara and his entire family to move from their home in San Francisco to an internment camp in Wyoming. Seventy years have passed since the incarceration and Sam is one of the few survivors willing to speak about this experience. In his moving presentation, he talks about his years in the Heart Mountain and Pomona internment camps, providing a first-hand account of this great civil rights injustice that was experienced by more than 120,000 Japanese Americans. Sam Mihara is a rocket scientist who worked for Boeing and later started his own high-tech consulting firm. He was incarcerated at the Heart Mountain Relocation Center during World War II, and he now travels around the country speaking about that experience. The presentation will be on Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. in the Whitney Presentation Hall. For more information, contact Misty Bateman at firstname.lastname@example.com

All selections, analysis and thoughts will be posted on the Bowl Express Thread SPOOKY EXPRESS BOWLING FOR DOLLARS SELECTION AND ANALYSIS THREAD Fiesta Bowl Oklahoma State vs. Stanford Monday, January 2, 8:30 pm ESPN Just so we're clear on where I stand: Oklahoma State got screwed. The Cowboys, the champions of the Big 12, were left out of the BCS National Championship Game as voters elected to go with a rematch between LSU-Alabama in the title clash. Oklahoma State was passed over despite the fact that Alabama didn't win its own division in the SEC, much less a conference title, and the fact that Oklahoma State has performed better against a more difficult schedule this season. Instead, No. 3 Oklahoma State will take on No. 4 Stanford in the 2012 Fiesta Bowl. How Oklahoma State approaches this game mentally will be a key to this game. If the Cowboys are still focusing on how they were shafted for a chance at a BCS Championship then Stanford could have its way with them. But if the Cowboys are focused and angry, looking to show the college football world that they truly are the best team in the country, then we could see an inspired effort from the Cowboys. The last time out the Cowboys played their best game of the season, dominating hated rival and former No. 1 Oklahoma, 44-10, in the Bedlam Game. There is also a chance that the Cowboys could have a letdown after winning that game in such an overwhelming fashion. Stanford is no pushover and played this entire season as a true BCS title contender. They finished the regular season 11-1 with their lone loss coming against Oregon. Ironically, that loss kept the Cardinal out of the Pac-12 Championship Game. And the fact that they didn't win their division or conference championship may be the only thing that has kept them out of the BCS Championship Game. Oklahoma State's lone loss this season came in overtime at Iowa State. That loss occurred in a Friday night game at Ames on the same day that two Oklahoma basketball coaches were killed in a plane crash. This game features several Heisman Trophy candidates and several players that will be first round picks in this April's NFL Draft. Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck is all but assured to be the No. 1 overall pick in this year's draft while Oklahoma State wide receiver Justin Blackmon should definitely be a Top 10 pick. Not surprisingly, this game features two of the most dynamic offenses in college football. A key component in this game will be turnovers. Oklahoma State has forced 42 turnovers this season – the most in college football – and that is a huge part of their game plan. But Stanford has only turned it over 15 times on the season, which is the eight-lowest total in the sport. I know that it is very square to call for a high scoring game, but I think that's exactly what we'll see. Stanford is going to get its points because Luck is just that good and I don't see any way that the Cardinal defense is going to handle the speed of the Oklahoma State attack. Sure, part of the game plan for Stanford could be slow the tempo down and try to control the ball and the time of possession. But OSU scores fast. And if the Cowboys get a lead that could force Stanford's plan out the window. But I have Stanford winning this game by 2 touchdowns and the numbers dont lie so lets jump all over this money line dog and take Stanford to the bank. STANFORD +4

foo_talktome, A remake of foo_tts for text-to-speech title/artist on track change |
foo_talktome, A remake of foo_tts for text-to-speech title/artist on track change |
Jun 15 2010, 19:58
Group: Developer Posts: 20 Joined: 15-June 10 Member No.: 81538 |
Hello! I've just finished coding a working version of my first plugin, foo_talktome. I wanted a plugin to read the title and artist of each track that played, because I often listen to music on my wireless headphones. When I listen to my whole library or a group of new albums on random, this helps me remember who/what I liked. Hopefully others will enjoy this too!
Before writing this I checked if it existed already, and I found foo_tts, written by paulski. It seemed development on that had stopped, however, and there were even requests for a new version, so I went ahead with my little project. Hopefully I'm not stepping on any other devs' toes with this! Download foo_talktome.dll v1.0 here (or here) (These links should be up-to-date) Just put the dll in the Components directory and it should add a menu option (under Playback) to turn it off/on. Please use the issue tracker on the BitBucket Repo to report bugs/feature requests. -------------------------------------------------- Update! Version 1.0 released May 7, Thanks to danthe0 some major unicode-related bugs have been addressed. Now you should be able to get this working with Asian characters/voices. I am also now building with the latest SDK version, so you will need Foobar2000 v1.1 to use this component (sorry! if you need/want an older version please let me know - I may have it). Thanks to everyone who uses this component, and especially those of you who contribute feedback, bug reports, and even code! To celebrate these major changes/improvements, I am bumping the version number to 1.0. Along with this new version, I am officially announcing the code as open source. The source has been up for a while, but I just realized I never made that announcement here. Finally, my use of this plugin has diminished, hence the slowdown in development. I know there is another TTS plugin out now, and it seems to have some really cool features. However, I am happy to keep working on this if there is still interest in foo_talktome. I am also interested in helping/working with other developers to create TTS or other interesting Foobar components - just PM me if you'd like to work together on something. -------------------------------------------------- Update! September 7, 2011 Hey everyone. I'm glad people are still getting use out of this plugin! I halted development for a while because things seemed to be working pretty well, but I know there are some serious bugs out there still. In order to keep up with everything, I'd like to move development and issue tracking over to my Bitbucket repository: https://bitbucket.org/aganders3/foo_talktome There is a public wiki and issue tracker there, and you don't need an account to post on the issue tracker (though it's better if you make one). I've added a few issues/feature requests from this thread to the system there, but I'm sure I missed quite a few. If you have an issue or feature request, please add it on the Bitbucket issue tracker. This is also my first step toward releasing the source code for this plugin, just so the project can live on even if I become too busy to maintain it. I'm not quite ready to do that, though, as I'm still a bit shy about my coding abilities. -------------------------------------------------- June 22, 2010 - OK, it took some playing around, but the new version seems to be working! (Hopefully) Fixed in this version: * No more dll dependencies, everything should be statically linked (Still figuring out dependency walker, but I hope it's working) * Remembers the state on shutdown Thanks again to everyone who has downloaded or shown interest in my plugin! This has been a great learning experience for me so far. -------------------------------------------------- June 28, 2010 - A new version is released! New features: * A preferences pane! * You decide the speech formatting (uses built-in Foobar2000 title formatting strings) * An option to pause playback while speaking I also tried to fix the 0 volume bug that was brought up. I was never able to reproduce it, though, so I'm not sure the changes worked. I've taken note of the other suggestions in this thread (volume fading when speaking, announcing at the end of the song...), and I will try to work on them over time, but implementation of some of them is not quite straightforward to me. As far as other voices go, you can set the voice in the Windows speech control panel. You can install other voices, but they tend to not be free and/or easy to find. The voice engines from Neospeech have been recommended in this thread (thanks Andreasvb). -------------------------------------------------- July 01, 2010 - Another new version is released! (I don't know anything about version numbering andI felt I was approaching 1.0 much too quickly so I moved to a double-point system. Why not?) Fixes/features: * Improved volume scaling - this was indeed a linear/logarithmic scale thing (thanks kode54). Sadly the only reason I didn't do it properly the first time around is because I didn't have a pen or pencil handy. I'm pretty happy with the way it is now, but I may add another option to lower/boost the volume of the voice relative to the music if there is a lot of demand. * Much bigger box for the speech formatting string. Thank carpman for requesting this - I never would have thought of it otherwise. Should accept 2048 characters or so now, hopefully that's big enough. Enjoy! -------------------------------------------------- July 19, 2010 Features: * Now includes a volume-offset field in the preferences pane. You can use a negative or a positive offset, input in dB. Hopefully this is helpful for some people. NOTE: For those of you that keep Foobar set at 0.0dB attenuation (max volume) this will only help you make the TTS voice quieter. At this point I can only control the volume of the synthesized voice. If you want the voice louder relative to the music, try boosting your system volume, lowering your Foobar volume, and adding a positive volume offset in the TalkToMe preferences.

Hi aganders3
Possible BUG: Playback stops when foo_talktome hits a song with a different sample rate. i.e. plays fine with 41,100 Hz tracks, then playback stops when the next track is 48,000 Hz. This doesn't happen when foo_talktome is unticked. Soundcard = M-Audio Audiophile 2496 OS = WinXP SP2 Let me know if you want more details. Cheers, C. -------------------- TAK -p4m :: LossyWAV -q 6 | TAK :: Lame 3.98 -V 2

The anus is a sphincter at the end of the rectum through which passes stool during defecation. The anal sphincter is a critical mechanism for control of fecal continence.
Anal fissures are tears in the skin overlying the anal sphincter, usually due to increased tone of the anal sphincter muscles, and a failure of these muscle to relax. Anal fissures cause pain during defecation and bleeding from the anus.
Most anal fissures can be treated successfully with conservative measures, which include stool softeners and warm soaks. The goal is to relax the anal sphincter, which allows the fissure to heal. If these methods are ineffective, surgery is necessary. This is called an internal sphincterotomy, a procedure in which the anal sphincter is partially cut, thus allowing it to relax and permitting the fissure to heal.
Sphincterotomy, when properly performed, is very effective in healing anal fissures.

This right here is pretty much going to be the close of any modding I do for Skyrim. It has been fun working on a custom race and warpaint mod for as long as I have, but it is about time for me to move on, until possibly the next Elder Scrolls game, and we'll see if I can bring the Noiral into that one. That being said, "Reloaded" is basically the way I wish I could have originally released this race, but obviously couldn't due to lack of skill and not having a full understanding of what I... |

The Nats host the Cardinals today at Space Coast Stadium.
It's still early — the Nationals have played only five of 34 total exhibition games this spring — but Ian Desmond's struggles both at the plate and in the field have not gone unnoticed. The third-year shortstop enters today 0-for-9 with three strikeouts and three errors in three games played, and Davey Johnson has a theory for shortstop's struggles.
"He's so driven," the manager said after yesterday's game against the Braves. "A lot like [Danny Espinosa], they're very driven. They try to overachieve. He sometimes, I think, might take his at-bats to the field. Especially down here. You're concentrating on getting your timing. But I thought he swung the bat better today. I'm not that concerned with it right now."
Desmond is back in the lineup today, facing top Cardinals pitching prospect Shelby Miller. He's one of the only regulars starting this game, though Adam LaRoche got at-bats this morning in a minor-league intrasquad game and is now slated to make his Grapefruit League debut Saturday.
I'm no longer with the team down in Florida. Per CSNwashington.com's coverage plan, I've returned home for a little while. I'll head back down there March 20 to cover the final portion of camp. So no in-game updates for the time being, but please continue the discussion as always…

Don't look now but Anon is talking to itself again!
- Anonymous - Mar 7, 2012 at 6:43 PM
Johnson's trying to make excuses for Desmond's lack of ability is a waste of time. One has only to look at his minor league years. Except for a fluke partial season at Syacuse, he never hit well and his fielding was always erratic. Batting him at the top of the order and batting Espinosa second is not going to work. If Johnson and Rizzo do not come up with a top of the batting order remedy real soon, it will be another run starved season for the Nationals.

I am guessing Anon number 2 is N. Cog. He's easily annoyed.I am not Anon number 1, by the way.

Shelby Miller is the Cardinals No. 1 prospect and he was 9-3 at AA last year so he's not a kid who will be in A ball.

Miller's a huge talent but he's not a MLB pitcher. Desmond needs a lot of doubles this Spring before I am convinced that it is reasonable to rely on him to hit a decent share of them in MLB when it counts.
- Steve M. - Mar 7, 2012 at 6:55 PM
jd, yes, he came over from Brewers for Hairston and I was suprised the Brewers gave him up given that he had progressed well through A ball and then we learned that he was up for Rule 5 and needed to be put on the 40 man.Could project as a 4th outfielder. He did take JZim into LF for a single. He started hot last year in AA and fizzled out so he could be a quick start type of guy.Let the Cardinals carry him and see what happens. Its the least they can do after the Nats helped them with Brian Broderick.

jd said… Shelby Miller is the Cardinals No. 1 prospect and he was 9-3 at AA last year so he's not a kid who will be in A ball. March 07, 2012 1:44 PM Laughable isn't it. The collective brainpower of some of these Anon's and their disdain for Ian Desmond is a sad commentary.

We have now seen all 5 Nats starters or some may say all 6 with Wang pitching on the other field. I would say Gio, Stras and JZim all did very well. EJax did good w/ some struggles against Houston and Lannan had a couple errant pitches.All in all. A good first 5 days in ST.

Kevin Siegrist, last year in A Ball, got a 1 – 2 – 3 3rd for the Cards. Matt Purke coming on to pitch the 4th for the Nats.

There's one anon whose sole purpose for posting is to make a negative comment about Desi–at least two or three times every new posting by Mark. It's so pathetic and tedious. And another reason why posting with some name other than anon is a better way to identify onesself. (how does one spell onesself? That just doesn't look right.) Most anons out there are as reasonable as the rest of us so it would be nice to know who is who. Sure many of you have aliases but I can identify with you just as well as I could if I knew your real name. But I have a hard time telling some of you anons apart, except, of course, the Desmond hater.

Purke gave up a groundball single and a line drive singlearound a fly out, pop out and gropund out, and gave up no runs. Maybe back for another inning?
- Steve M. - Mar 7, 2012 at 7:10 PM
Purke escaped a 2 single inning unscathed on the scoreboard. I wonder how his pitches and velo is today. I watched him against Georgetown and he was low to mid 90's with good movement. Just needs more consistency on his release point. Cora got him for a hit which tells me when he is facing veteran hitters they have a good idea of what he is throwing as he is telegraphing his pitches. All stuff he can work on. I think Purke is going to be a very good pitcher.

I am the Demsond-hating Anon. Sorry to annoy the Nats Insider population so much by pointing out that the Shortstop is not wearing clothes, but Desmond's just not good enough to be the Nats SS in 2012, folks. It's obvious. Johnson's giving him a chance and Ian's blowing it.Lombo is capable in MI right now, they added Blanco and Derosa for a reason too. But the big thing is that Rendon is close to MLB ready now and he's going to be learning 2B, so Espi and his better SS glove than Ian's, much better bat and comparable speed is going to slide over to SS. The world sees this coming.Desmond is dead man walking as a Nat – it's just a matter of time.

Bowdenball, I, the Not So Great nor Powerful Desmond-hating Anon, did not post anything on Shelby Miller, there must be other haters! My coclusons are based on the totality of Desmond's career to date, not his few games this Spring (and not the last 4 weeks of last season either).Objectively, from pretty much any standard you want to employ, Ian's not been good overall for the 2 years he's been the starting SS, for more than 1,000 AB's and double that amount of innings. On the good side, he has plus speed, good range and arm, but he also has bad hands and he makes lousy decisions in the field. Routine plays give him real trouble and they always have. Offensively, that speed is nice, but he can't steal first; his approach at the plate is pitcher-like. His pitch recognition has been as bad as any position player in the bigs, and he swings and misses at balls in the strike zone a ton, especially for a guy with maybe 15 HR power. He does not hit for average or power and he does not take walks. If he was sterling with the glove he could get away with hot hitting much, but he's nothing close to sterling with the glove; any metric you want puts him at the bottom part of the SS defensive pile. That's Ian Desmond. He's just not good. Espi's a better choice, and by a country mile.
- Anonymous - Mar 7, 2012 at 8:38 PM
How is saying that Rendon is close and will play 2B and that Espi's a better choice at SS "rants" much less worthless ones? Not sure what "true baseball observations" might be, but what observations have I missed that make Ian Desmond something other than what his career stat-line at every level says he is?

You need to accept it and move on to something constructive.I was in Florida for some practices and games. I made a few observations and sat with some scouts behind homeplate and picked some brains. We talked Rendon, Purke, Harper and Lombo for the prospects. The scouts love these guys but nobody sees Lombo as a starter on this team–sorry to tell you that. Maybe next year.We can have some real discussions in a couple of weeks when there is more data and scouting to go by.

I'll hang up and listen… March 07, 2012 3:53 PM We had most of the time about 7 to 15 guys who went on this trip or met up with us. No Bimini but we were tempted to head to Paradise Island for some gambling but instead hit the Hard Rock in N. Miami where they have blackjack and bacarrat. Most days ended in either Miami, Palm Beach or Orlando with lots of Tequila, no rum. We were able to take in some basketball games and the Honda Classic Golf and lots of baseball. It was basically baseball or golf during the day and basketball or other fun at night. Our problem was the group got larger and larger and we didn't have the transportation in place to take everybody so the older guys and married guys generally stayed behind. ;)At the games, I tend to sit by myself as the other guys talk too much. NatsJack draws the big crowds as he is the folk hero in Florida! We were passing our scouting reports thru text messages on Detwiler and Harper.The vibe this year is much different. You can just feel the positive energy. I thought that maybe Phil Jackson was coaching the Nats with all the good Zen and then saw it was this Davey Johnson guy!
- Anonymous - Mar 7, 2012 at 9:14 PM
I am not a Demsond hater so much as I am a serious doubter. But, this SS issue is really about Davey and Mike. I'd like Mike Rizzo or Davey Johnson to explain why they think the club can afford to throw a 25 error SS and .300 OBP leadoff man out there and hope to make the playoffs. I mean, come on. I know they love Demsond, everyone loves him, but he needs to produce. The guys who prove they deserve the spots should get them. It's one thing to say that Demsond's the best guy they have (and maybe he is), but that is not what I am hearing. I am hearing — he's the starter, no matter what, get used to it. Desmond should not be annointed the starter at SS just because he's been the starter at SS. It's not like he has some great track record and is coming off of a tough year (a la Werth). Desmond should win his spot on the lineup card just like everyone else, no? Best 25 go North!dfh21

Cease, I have no idea what management sees in Desmond. But they are clearly believers in him. I don't discount the brain trust's talent evaluation capability so much as their psychology maybe. I have a wild theory – dare I throw it out to have it labeled a worthless rant, here it is – I think that management sees Desmond as a guy with great tools, who is just a step away from getting his head straight to be something close to a star; a player that they could have moved coming in to last year when he had good value, but they did not make a deal to send him packing because of his great upside potential, and then when they had a another chance they did not move him at the deadline because his value was then depressed (rumors had him as part of a package to Minn for Span), and now after he still has not really broken out (the last 5 weeks of the season were solid but not spectacular for Desmond) they are hoping (beyond reason in my opinion) that he can make them look good for keeping him by playing well. And once he plays well, they can then trade him for something they need, because Espinosa really is the SS of the future in Nats Town and it is pretty much a given. Unless people see Rizzo trading a younger, 20+ HR power, switch hitter to keep Ian's questionable skill set. I don't see Rizzo doing that.I would love to hear what management really says about their talent behind closed doors. Maybe Desmond will be the player for us that they think he'll be, but if he's playing badly are they willing to sacrifice the club's record in the first year that they have a chance in order to keep giving Desmond chances? Two years in not enough of a sample size?
- Steve M. - Mar 7, 2012 at 9:17 PM

- Steve M. - Mar 7, 2012 at 9:37 PM
dfh21, Desi has to see more pitches and work some walks and get on base and score runs. Thats his job at lead-off. Anything above a .330 OBP will be great. I think Desi can be a .320 guy consistently. I hope he can get above .330. If he does, that gives good odds that the meat of the order will have some RBI opportunities.
- Cwj - Mar 7, 2012 at 9:48 PM
Just to jump in real quick, 2 years is not enough of a sample size to make Desmond out to be a bad player.How many players do we see each year figure it all out in their 3rd or 4th season in the majors?I think Desmond deserves another full season before I jump on the Desi-hater bandwagon.

- jd - Mar 7, 2012 at 11:10 PM
Steve M. Rendon has a position; 3rd base. Unfortunately someone else is manning that position for the foreseeable future. I think the 250 at bats is optimistic and I think starting at AA is too high. I think that in the best interest of the club to start him in high 'A' let him have some success and then move him to 'AA' all the while play a position he is good at. Ultimately his value to the Nats may see him playing for someone else. I think putting him in a position where he is likely to fail will mess up his career and diminish his value to the team.

"How many players do we see each year figure it all out in their 3rd or 4th season in the majors?"What SS stinks it up to Desmond's levels with the glove and suddenly gets much better in his 3rd or 4th year? Bats come around, the glove should be there by now. It ain't. In 2009 when he was called up he made 4 errors in 17 games at SS. In 2010 the excuse for his bad glove was because it was his rookie year. In 2011 it was because he was a new dad. This Spring it's because he's taking his bad AB's with him to the field. He has NEVER gloved well. It could happen, sure, and I could win PowerBall too.

dfh21 said . . . "I'd like Mike Rizzo or Davey Johnson to explain why they think the club can afford to throw a 25 error SS and .300 OBP leadoff man out there and hope to make the playoffs."That sums it up for me. Mark, if you get the chance, please ask them and tell us what they say! Go Nats!

I seem to be living at odd hours from everyone else and here I am again at the end of a thread, but if anyone is out there with an opinion or some knowledge: Can Rendon play short? I know Espi plays it well. But he plays 2B well too. And if Rendon is used to the left side of the IF might he move to SS next year? Or is it really not that big a deal moving him to 2B with the different foot work required? He's rusty, and he's not ready yet, but when he comes around, watch out. By 2014 he and Harper should be making themselves felt offensively.

RDN: I'm starting gbto see Rendon at SS, too. I've seen opinions that his arm might not be up to it, but he's a third baseman, right? He's had ankle issues, so it'd prolly be good to keep him away from the constant leaping pivots and getting slud into, as a 2B, and as much as I like Desi, he's unlikely to ever hit like the book says AR will. I see him at SS in '14, prolly sooner. Zim, Rendon, Espy, and The Beast…. A fairly productive infield, no?

Works for me, Unkyd. Assuming so many professional sets of eyes are right about projecting Rendon, you gotta wonder how long it'll take him to be ready. Some say as soon as September. But we're talking at least 2013 aren't we? Or are we talking as far away as 2014? I know we just have to wait and see how it plays out, but it would be great to see him ready in roughly the same time frame as Stras and Harper. Ok bedtime…say goodnight Gracie…

I wouldn't place Rendon at shortstop. He's at third, second or first just like Zim. As for Desmond his replacement is clearly Espinosa not Lombo. However, Lombo gets a shot if Desmond is swapped with Espy.IMO, they probably need them all. Injuries happen and let's face it, the jury is still definitely out on all of the infield except for Zim. They are all still very recent starters. Desmond could end up swapping with Lombo and becoming the utility guy if he slumps or has an injury. Its who things go … Patience with youth pays huge dividends if there is talent. And there is talent. Let's just wait and let the chips fall where they may as the offense will likely not be any great shakes this year anyway mostly for that very reason.The Bold anonymous. Keep scrolling natsfan1a you are raising my hypocrite scorecard.

Bold Anon:What are your reasons for Rendon NOT playing SS, but the other 3 IF positions? If I may be so bold to ask.
