Kennedy faces Padres in first start since fracas
D-backs' starter faces Richard in series finale between rivals
The Padres ended one drought Saturday, and they will try to rid themselves of another Sunday when the club goes for a sweep of the first-place D-backs at Petco Park.
By winning its fifth straight game Saturday, San Diego evened up its record at 34-34. The last time the club was .500 with at least two games played in a season was April 10, 2011.
Not satisfied yet, the Padres aim to go above .500 on Sunday for the first time since they finished the 2010 season with a 90-72 record. Moreover, a victory would move San Diego to within two games of first place in the suddenly log-jammed National League West.
Hoping to lead the club to a sixth straight win will be Clayton Richard, who was originally scheduled to start Saturday but was pushed back to get more rest. Richard has struggled this season before and after a stint on the 15-day disabled list to settle a gastrointestinal issue.
The southpaw has allowed five runs or more in six of nine starts, and his only win this year came in a relief outing May 31 against Toronto.
In his last two starts, Richard surrendered a combined 10 earned runs on 13 hits in 10 1/3 innings. Richard's most recent performance, however, encouraged Padres manager Bud Black by how well he limited damage. The 29-year-old gave up four runs to the Rockies at Coors Field in six frames of work.
"Clayton did a nice job," Black said after the game. "You ask anyone, four runs over six innings in this park is not a bad effort. There's some pitches he'd like to have back, but I think it was a step in the right direction."
As for the D-backs, they have been on a bit of a slide of late, losing five of their last eight games. Taking the mound for Arizona on Sunday will be Ian Kennedy, who is in the process of appealing a 10-game suspension given to him for his role in Tuesday's melee with the Dodgers, his most recent start. Until his case is heard and ruled on, he is eligible to play.
In that game, Kennedy gave up two runs on four hits over 6 1/3 innings, but his night came to an abrupt end when he hit Zack Greinke with a pitch and was immediately ejected.
Kennedy was punished for "intentionally throwing a pitch in the head area of Zack Greinke," but the right-hander has denied any intent at injury in the incident.
"I feel there's a lot of things being attacked at my character and saying I'm a headhunter," Kennedy said. "I really don't appreciate that, but that's still people's opinions."
Padres: Quentin scratched
Carlos Quentin was scratched from the starting lineup before Saturday's game against the D-backs.
Quentin was removed with what manager Bud Black called left shoulder discomfort.
"We don't want to press this right now; he thought he did it on a swing last night," Black said.
Quentin is batting .261 with seven homers and 22 RBI this season.
D-backs: Eaton taking cuts again
D-backs outfielder Adam Eaton hit in extended spring training Saturday for the first time since being shut down in a Minor League rehab stint last month.
He is expected to begin throwing Sunday after serving only as designated hitter in his first appearance.
"He's going to probably do it again Monday or Tuesday against [injured closer closer] J.J. [Putz]," D-backs manager Kirk Gibson said.
Eaton has been on the disabled list since June 1 with a strained left elbow. He initially felt some discomfort in March and was shut down before being activated and began feeling more pain.
Worth noting
• The D-backs are 3-5 in their nine-game stretch against National League West opponents.
• The Padres are 20-7 over their last 27 games at Petco Park after starting the season 1-7.

Does this also mean Vishera was the last CPU ?..
Last edited by Leslie508; 11-08-2012 at 09:20 PM.
Pentium is fast enough and has all important features.
Pentium at 2.7 GHz has same single-threaded performance as AMD A10 at 4.2 GHz
People here dramatically overestimate ARM CPUs. They might be power efficent but don't even come close to a shitty x86 Atom CPU. And real Desktop CPUs like Core i5 are mopping the floor with ARM CPUs in terms of raw performance.
And where sole performacne matter?
Mobile? No.
Cloud? No.
Servers? No.
Mainframes? No. (however ARM lacks even more to be here)
Notebooks? No. (Unless you need workstation on UPS :P )
Desktops? No.
Workstations? Yes.
It look like damn small market. In other there are also other factors at play, like power usage (how much power it takes), power efficiency (how much performance per 1Watt). Or like compatibility with existing software, or like uptime, error recovery, redundability, scalability, etc...
For a long time we had "Intel + Win" way. A bit of diversivity will be good for everybody.
Performance doesn't matter on Desktops, Server and Laptops? You must be living in a funny paralell universe.
Performance matters in every application which depends on single core performance, which means most of Linux applications.
ARM 9 is 4 times slower than Core i5 at same frequency.
ARM 57 will be still about 2 times slower which is too high difference.
3 GHz ARM 57 will be probably competitive only on servers (if 16 core system won't be expensive) and low end notebooks.
Servers care about I/O, RAM, higly specialized workflow (64bit only, etc.), virtualization, software compatibility, staff availability, etc.
Laptops care about POWER EFFICIENCY, and POWER USAGE. (To the point where people will use less performant options for few extra hours of usage).
Desktops ok. Let's put hardcore gamers in "workstation" category, and what we get is people who use desktop for spread sheets, or programming, or listening to music or using facebook. Nothing where you care about cutting edge performanc. But only to have it enough for those tasks.
Professional photo editing, video editing, gaming? Yes ther performance is important and power usage/efficiency be damned.

Many many people use notebooks as desktops, we only have a very few desktops at work for accounts to be able to work with those HUGE spread sheets. The standard is rather notebook (currently Sandy Bridge +- dedicated graphic) with docking station. The battery life doesn't really matter, but they can unplug their computer and walk into a meeting room or travel somewhere while still using e.g. AutoCAD etc.
I agree entirely with przemoll, aside from the fact that mainframes tend to demand raw power too, much more than workstations. Anyways, people who use laptops as desktops are dumbasses, to put it bluntly. Getting such a product is just simply convenient but rarely anything beyond that. There are a small handful of situations where getting a powerful laptop is cost effective and most importantly, practical. Keep in mind that even if you exclude the screen and battery, you still pay more for a laptop than you do with a desktop yet you gt crappier hardware.
So going back to blackouts comment earlier, no, Atoms are not that much better than ARM and while i5 is very powerful, it has a poor value and is overkill for the average user. i7 is unnecessary even for many workstation users. The crappy thing is Windows and Intel have got people thinking people need all this performance where in the end, dual core CPUs from 10 years ago are plenty sufficient for everyday non-production tasks. Same goes for RAM but that's a convo for another day.

I promptly received my brown & teal Rose Deco chair. No pieces were missing; nothing was damaged. As excited as I was, I built it right away! There was only some minor assembly that was all accomplished with the provided Allen wrench. The directions were a bit shoddy.. our package came with more washers than described in the written portion, which with we did nothing. You need to use the larger washers for attaching both the legs and the chair back (the smaller washers were absolutely useless as they slid right through the holes and were literally unexplained in the directions). After struggling with our options, however, the assembled chair is sturdy and extremely comfortable! It is a perfect accent piece to our living room and we fully appreciate the functionality of it. I would not be hesitant to offer this seat to a house guest, or fear they would be aching to move elsewhere. I am also happy with the way the chair was engineered to hide all the connecting points via Velcro flaps; these hidden areas really keep the chair looking chic and high-end!
I am a 150 lb., 5' 5" female and this chair makes me feel like a giant when I sit in it. It is so small! The top of the seat is only 16" from the floor (very low) and the back of the chair stops 6" inches from my shoulders! It looks like a child's chair and is sized accordingly! Plus, after only a few sittings, I can feel the springs already. Except for the color, I am totally disappointed and would not recommend this item. I've ordered from Overstock multiple times in the past and have been pleased, however, this was a *** loss!
I'm an artist selling my work online, so I know that all computer screens are all calibrated differently. I know that when you see a photo, there could be some slight differences in real life. So I expected there to be some differences. But I ordered the Purple Rose on light grey version of this product, and the roses in reality are not purple. They are grey. No way around it. It's like whoever named the product was doing so based on the picture, not by looking at the actual product. This wasn't a show stopping set back, since I have a lot of grey elements in my home, and it matches those nicely. I still would have liked to have the touches of purple the picture leads you to believe are there. The product looks good once assemblied. You'll have to assemble it yourself, and when you do so, you'll pretty quickly realize that it's not a particularly high end structure. Once put together, the velcro flaps and such aren't very visible if you don't know they're there. If it was my only chair, I might be worried about it's ability to last holding actual people regularly over time. But it's an accent chair so it just has to look pretty most of the time, and it does that well. When guests sit on it, they indicate that it's pretty comfortable. It's still new, so the cushion and springs are still in good shape.
Nice chair for the price. Instructions could be clearer. Comfortable chair. Soft cushion. Use as a chair in bedroom.
Color and overall construction of chair seemed to be adquate for the price, however, the dimensions of the seat of the chair and height of the back of the chair were not listed and were very unproportionate. Besides not feeling comfortable or high enough for support on your back the seat of the chair was very deep. It almost seemed like the seat and the back of the chair should have been swapped.
Very nice chair. I looks great in my bedroom.
Very nice chair and easy to assemble
Very pleased with my Roses Deco Accent Chairs (I bought 2) for my master bedroom. They would look great in any room. The pattern is very subtle and elegant.
I love these chairs. I bought the gray chairs and they are so adorable. They were very easy to put together. I am using them with the Upton Home Cornell Cocktail Table in my showroom and they make a perfect seating area. I would buy them again.
this chair is comfortable and lovely. It was easy to assemble and adds just the right touch to the bedroom. and who doest need a place to sit down and put on your shoes, this is a perfect chair for that! And it comes in so many lovely colors too

I am about to take "the plunge" into cloth diapering and I have read your posts and found them so helpful. I had almost made up my mind about what to get started with, when I discovered "Econobum" and also "Flip". So my question is have you had a chance to try either of those and would you recommend them?

Gallery: PHOTOS: Astana's Khan Shatyr is the World's Biggest Tent!
The structure displaces warm air though the top with cooler air from below.
photos by Karim Yergaliyev
Developed by Foster + Partners to be a center piece for the new capital city of Astana, Kazakhstan, the project had to withstand the extreme temperature swings of the elevated and arid region. Although the outside temperature varies from -35 degrees to +35 degrees Celsius, the interior maintains a hospitable 15-30 degrees. To prevent condensation in the winter, three translucent layers of ethylene tetrafluoroethylene fabric or EFTE act to channel warm air. In the summer, cooler air displaces the hot air vented from the top. The transparency and scale of the tent stands out in the skyline like a beacon, changing colors at night and streaming in natural light during the day.

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is a surgery for obesity . It changes the size of the stomach and small intestine to cause weight loss by:
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
The surgery treats severe obesity. A calculation called body mass index ( BMI ) is used to determine how overweight or obese you are. A normal BMI is 18.5-25.
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is a weight loss option for people with:
The success of gastric bypass surgery depends on your commitment to lifelong health habits. If lifestyle changes are made and maintained, the benefits of bariatric surgery include:
If you are planning to have Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
Long-term complications include vomiting and gallstones.
Before your procedure, talk to your doctor about ways to manage factors that may increase your risk of complications, such as:
Each bariatric surgery program has specific requirements. Your program will likely include the following:
Leading up to your procedure:
General anesthesia will be used. You will be asleep.
To prepare you for surgery, an IV will be placed in your arm. You will receive fluids and medications through this line during the procedure. A breathing tube will be placed through your mouth and into your throat. This will help you breathe during surgery. You will also have a catheter placed in your bladder to drain urine.
Several small cuts will be made in the abdomen. Gas will be pumped in to inflate your abdomen. This will make it easier for the doctor to see. A laparoscope and surgical tools will be inserted through the incisions. A laparoscope is a thin, lighted tool with a tiny camera. It sends images of your abdominal cavity to a monitor in the operating room. Your doctor will operate while viewing the area on this monitor.
Surgical staples will be used to create a small pouch at the top of your stomach. This pouch, which can hold about 1 cup of food, will be your new, smaller stomach. A normal stomach can hold 4-6 cups of food.
Next, the small intestine will be cut and attached to the new pouch. With the intestinal bypass, food will now move from the new stomach pouch to the middle section of the small intestine. It will skip the lower stomach and the upper section of the small intestine.
Finally, the upper section of the small intestine will be attached to the middle section of the small intestine. This will allow fluid that the lower stomach makes to move down the upper section of the small intestine and into the middle section.
When the bypass is completed, the incisions will be closed with staples or stitches.
Be aware that in some cases, the doctor may need to switch to an open surgery . During an open surgery, a larger cut in the abdomen will be made to do the surgery.
You will be taken to the recovery area for monitoring. You will also be given pain medication.
About 2 hours
Anesthesia will prevent pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
The usual length of stay is 2-5 days. Your doctor may choose to keep you longer if complications arise.
While you are recovering at the hospital, you may receive the following care:
While in the hospital, you may be asked to do the following:
During your stay, the hospital staff will take steps to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
There are also steps you can take to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
You will need to practice lifelong healthy eating and exercising habits. Keep in mind after your surgery:
Your new stomach is the size of a small egg. It is slow to empty, causing you to feel full quickly. Therefore, you need to eat very small amounts and eat very slowly:
Call your doctor if any of these occur:
If you think you have an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

I was expecting quite a bit as I packed my bags to leave.
"Are you sure you got everything?" A phrase reiterated to me by the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage.
To which I responded by saying, "Yes, for the umpteenth time I got everything."
This in and of itself was to guarantee me I would forget something, usually essential in my travel. Then when I get home, I will be reminded that I was reminded to make sure I got everything.
Nothing, at this point, could deter my high-level expectation of going into an Amish/Mennonite community. My great eagerness was looking forward to indulging in one of my favorite desserts: the shoofly pie. Nobody makes shoofly pie quite like those wonderful Amish people.
To make matters even more enticing, I would not have anybody sitting next to me reminding me I had enough shoofly pie. I fully intended to gorge myself on as much shoofly pie as my wallet could handle. In my book, there is no such thing as too much shoofly pie.
I drove 15 hours to get to this little town in Ohio. Every mile creating anticipation for my dessert delicacy awaiting me in some Amish restaurant.
I confess it has been a long time since I visited an Amish/Mennonite community. Even though I grew up in such a community some things a person tends to forget.
The convention I was attending ended Sunday morning at lunch. I, being the grandiose Know-It-All, decided to skip the Sunday lunch and look for a restaurant to indulge in my delectable delicacy. The convention was wonderful and as I left the grounds, I did so with a lot of joy in each step.
The thing I forgot was it was Sunday in an Amish/Mennonite community. If you have never been in such a community, let me inform you that on Sunday the only thing open are churches. I had forgotten this little tidbit.
During the week, I made a list of several Amish restaurants. I had plans of visiting each of them before I left and having shoofly pie, a whole pie, in each restaurant.
When I got to the first restaurant, it finally hit me. This was Sunday and everything in an Amish/Mennonite community was closed. I do not usually go to a restaurant on Sunday unless it is some special occasion. I was a little chagrined to realize everything was closed. This only heightened my anticipation of the shoofly pie delicacy awaiting me come tomorrow.
At times it feels like tomorrow will never come, but eventually tomorrow came and I awoke with a song on my lips, a pang of hunger in my stomach and a desire to indulge in a shoofly delicacy.
I finally arrived at my first Amish restaurant and I was drooling so much I could hardly tell the hostess I was just a party of one. Boy, what a party it was going to be.
Being a gentleman, I contained myself as best I could and ordered a very scrumptious repast. Nobody can cook like those Amish women. Oh, what a lunch I had. I think what made it so wonderful was the dessert expectation hovering over me like an angelic halo.
Just as I was finishing my lunch the lovely young waitress, all dressed in Amish attire, came by inquiring if I would like to see the dessert menu.
"No," I said with a delectable determination, "I know exactly what I want for dessert."
We exchanged smiles. I have no idea what she was smiling about; maybe the anticipatory tip. I knew what I was smiling about; the anticipatory dessert.
I tried to contain myself and carefully pace out my instructions.
"Young lady," I said as calmly as possible, "I will have a piece of shoofly pie. In fact, why don't you bring me the whole pie." And with that, I smiled.
The waitress looked at me rather strangely and said, "What kind of pie do you want?"
Being the kind of person that enjoys a good old-fashioned joke, I responded, "Ha headache ha. A shoofly pie, if you please."
"What's a shoofly pie?"
I can take a joke as well as anybody but there comes a time when all jokes need to be put aside and bring on the shoofly pie.
"This is an Amish restaurant, isn't it?"
"Yes it is," she smiled patiently.
"You've heard of a shoofly pie, haven't you?"
"No, I've never heard of such a pie."
I cannot tell you the depth of disappointment this brought to me. For weeks, I have been looking forward to some good old-fashioned shoofly pie.
As it turned out, only the Amish/Mennonite in Lancaster County Pennsylvania, know anything about shoofly pies. Not all Amish are the same even though they look alike.
The apostle Paul understood this kind of disappointment.
"If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable" (1 Corinthians 15:19 KJV).
I have had many disappointments in life and many people have disappointed me, but I have found in Jesus Christ no disappointment whatsoever. All legitimate hope is in Jesus.
