Brilliant Verlander delivers second no-no
Tigers ace loses perfect game with one-out walk in eighth inning
TORONTO -- Justin Verlander further cemented his place among the Tigers' all-time greats by throwing the second no-hitter of his career and seventh in Detroit history on Saturday afternoon.
The right-hander came within inches of perfection but instead settled for a rather satisfying consolation prize, using a dominant arsenal of pitches against an overmatched Blue Jays lineup en route to a 9-0 Detroit victory at Rogers Centre.
The seven-year veteran's lone blemish came on a 12-pitch walk to rookie catcher J.P. Arencibia.
"I felt fantastic -- obviously, I was extremely excited," said Verlander, who threw his first no-hitter on June 12, 2007, during Interleague Play against the Milwaukee Brewers. "Being able to recall the last one and go through it, it was really able to calm me down."
Verlander's celebration with his teammates began immediately after he struck out right fielder Rajai Davis in the bottom of the ninth inning.
The Tigers' dugout emptied, as players swarmed the field to congratulate their No. 1 starter. Verlander was hugged by catcher Alex Avila and shortly after received the traditional on-field Gatorade shower.
It was a much more subdued celebration, though, than the one that followed Verlander's 2007 claim to fame. There wasn't the same type of picturesque moment that occurred during that outing, when then-Tigers catcher Ivan Rodriguez jumped into Verlander's arms.

This festivity was more calm. It had a been-there, done-that type of feel for the Detroit right-hander, but that doesn't mean it was any less special.
"Obviously, the adrenalin wasn't quite as high," said Verlander, who became just the 28th player in modern Major League history to record multiple no-hitters, including postseason play.
"I wasn't jumping around and stuff, and a lot of that had to do with it was a strikeout and not a fly ball to the outfield, so I didn't have as much time to react. But I'm still just as excited -- it was fantastic."
Verlander's second no-hitter unfolded in a much different fashion than his 2007 gem, in which he recorded 12 strikeouts.
The 28-year-old struck out just four Blue Jays hitters on Saturday afternoon, which tied a season low. It was an unexpected departure for a pitcher who entered the game ranked second in the American League with 9.56 strikeouts per nine innings.
Verlander recorded 13 of his outs on the ground while adding another 10 through the air. The reason behind the different approach was the right-hander's inability to establish an effective curveball early in the game.
The native of Virginia normally relies on his curveball after getting hitters into two-strike counts. Against the Blue Jays, though, he realized the pitch was coming out of his hand flat, without its normal break, while also having trouble locating it down in the zone.
That caused an adjustment on the mound and led Verlander to rely almost exclusively on his overpowering fastball, changeup and slider.
Verlander's 2011 game log
Date | Opp. | IP | H | R/ER | BB/K | Dec. |
05/07 | at TOR | 9.0 | 0 | 0/0 | 1/4 | W |
04/16 | at OAK | 6.0 | 8 | 4/3 | 3/6 | L |
04/06 | at BAL | 8.0 | 4 | 3/3 | 2/9 | W |
03/31 | at NYY | 6.0 | 3 | 3/3 | 4/8 | ND |
"I think it just shows how he really located and changed speeds early on," Avila said. "He didn't have his curveball -- maybe only a couple of times he threw some good ones.
"But his slider was probably as good as it has ever been. We were able to go to that besides his 101-mph fastball -- that was his best pitch today."
The main benefit of Verlander's low strikeout total was his ability to get through the first six innings on a relatively low pitch count. That left him with plenty of stamina to close out the game.
After spending most of the start throwing fastballs in the mid-90s, Verlander took it to another level when faced with late-inning situations. He reached back and added velocity to his pitches -- topping out at 101 mph, according to the radar gun at Rogers Centre.
"I was still trying to make my pitches, but I really went into another gear in the seventh," Verlander said. "Thankfully, I had established a pretty good rhythm early in the game with slowing myself down that I was able to continue to throw strikes that way."
Verlander appeared well on his way to perfection through the first seven innings of the game. He retired the first 22 batters he faced before Arencibia stepped to the plate.
Arencibia nearly recorded Toronto's first hit by ripping a fastball down the third-base line that just missed landing in fair territory. The battle continued for 12 pitches before Arencibia watched an outside fastball go by.

Home-plate umpire Jerry Meals called it a ball, and the bid for a perfect game came to an end. The pitch missed by only a couple of inches, but Verlander wasn't about to complain about the call.
"It was a ball, and that was my thought," said Verlander, who called his girlfriend, Emily, immediately after the game. "I sometimes get pretty emotional out there on the mound, especially if I think a ball is close or whatnot. I can't help it; It's just my nature.
"But that one, right out of my fingertips, I knew it was just a hair outside, and it was. It was a ball, and you've got to give [credit] -- he called it a ball, and it was."
Verlander quickly refocused and got Edwin Encarnacion to ground into an inning-ending double play.
Verlander went on to post a perfect ninth inning to become just the seventh pitcher since 1954 to record a no-hitter while facing the minimum. The last pitcher to accomplish the feat was Tampa Bay's Matt Garza last season.
"The story of the day was Justin Verlander," said Blue Jays manager John Farrell, whose team was no-hit for the fourth time in club history. "Three offspeed pitches for strikes, with a fastball up to 100 mph. Just a dominating performance against us.
"The number of quick outs early in the game allowed him to keep the pitch count well in check, and he seemed to only gain strength as the game went on."
Detroit's offense provided Verlander with a lot of breathing room early in the game. The Tigers scored three runs in the third inning in an unconventional fashion off left-hander Ricky Romero.
Toronto's No. 1 starter allowed two walks, two hits, a hit batsman, a balk and a wild pitch en route to a three-run inning for the Tigers.
Detroit added three more insurance runs the following frame on home runs by Jhonny Peralta and Avila. That chased Romero from the game after surrendering all six runs on five hits and two walks.
That was more than enough offense for Verlander, who was untouchable the entire afternoon.
"That's as good as it gets," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "He just missed by inches of being perfect, and it was a ball, obviously.
"It really doesn't get any better than that. That's just great stuff. ... He was totally in control from the start. Like I said, almost perfect."

They will disagree on nearly every issue, but one area where they have found common ground is the need for more public charter schools. We feel the same way in the Georgia House of Representatives.
While there are many issues that our constituents expect us to draw a hard line in the sand and oppose much of what the opposition party supports, education reform is frankly too important to let our differences in political parties get in the way.
As the Republican Speaker Pro Tem and a leading Democratic voice on education, we are together asking voters to support the charter school amendment on the November ballot. The amendment does something very simple but very profound — it will allow the state to create a commission to hear appeals when charter applications are denied by some school boards and superintendents.
Some school systems in Georgia have embraced the charter concept, while others have been more obstinate. Many are unfortunately worried more about who has the authority and power in education decision-making rather than what is best for our kids.
True local control should begin with giving parents the option to make more decisions and to get more involved in their children's education. Charter schools are public schools that are free from many of the onerous mandates that schools are under these days.
They may separate boys and girls into different classes or schools, or have a more specific curriculum focus on science or math. They may be a virtual school with no building. These types of options are not right for every student, but for some they offer the kind of opportunity that can literally be life-changing.
Some school systems are going to tell you that public charter schools take money away from other public schools, but that's just simply not the case. Any school approved by the state charter commission will operate with no local contribution — only state funds will be available. Those local dollars are kept by the school systems and used as they see fit, actually increasing the amount of money per student enrolled they have to spend.
We've tried the "one size fits all" approach to education for decades, and we've had too many students fall through the cracks. Let's increase the educational options for parents, students and teachers by voting "Yes" for public charters on Nov. 6.
Jan Jones is Speaker Pro Tem of the Georgia House of Representatives, and Alisha Thomas Morgan is a Democratic member of the Georgia House.

The UX of Commercial Drones
Technology asks, "Can it be done?" Design asks, "Should it be done, and how?" I've thought about these questions frequently in the weeks following the 60 Minutes' introduction of Amazon's PrimeAir. While some were horrified by the prospect of commercial drones buzzing through the skies, I was amazed and intrigued at this vision of the future. But that's all it is right now: a vision, and a somewhat crude one at that—one that leaves many questions unanswered.
Some of those questions are logistical and legal: Will this work and in what environments? What are the implications on a social level and where safety is concerned? These are all tremendously important questions, but let's assume the issues surrounding them can be worked out. After all, there is plenty of money to be made (by Amazon and others like FedEx) by making it a reality. In fact, Ross McCullough, vice president of corporate strategy at UPS, recently said: "I believe these things will be part of the system in the future. I don't know when."
The Drone Experience
While consumer drones are very much a reality and a hot topic at this week's CES 2014, the biggest question on the commercial side remains mostly unanswered: What's it really going to be like to have a drone deliver packages to your house? In other words, what will the experience truly be like?
In order for commercial drones like Amazon's or Australian startup Flirtey's to become a reality, the drone (or any future-world technology, really) can't merely do its job—meaning, it can't randomly drop off deliveries and simply fly away as the drone in the Amazon demo video does. There's a lot more to it than that. To make this kind of service take off (literally), companies will have to consider the user experience, and especially the microinteractions, the drones will have with customers.
Let's examine the customer experience as demonstrated by Amazon: The drone flies in and lands on the back patio. The customer leaves the house. The drone releases the package and flies away. The customer grabs the package and heads back inside.
This is all well and good, but a lot of important detail still needs to be addressed. For starters, how does the customer know when the drone is arriving? People aren't going to want their packages sitting outside unattended, especially in inclement weather (assuming drones will even be able to fly when it's raining or snowing). And people won't want to sit around looking out their window for half an hour. But what might work is something like what the car service Uber does: showing you via an app where your drone is and how long until it arrives, as well as alerting you via SMS when it does arrive. This would provide a level of assurance, especially at the onset when the idea of a drone carrying an emergency last-minute birthday gift will seem the height of novelty.
General Drone Safety
When the drone does appear, it's going to be really tempting to race out and grab the package, especially for kids—and perhaps for dogs and excitable adults as well. One problem: between the person and the package are several spinning, knife-like blades that form the rotors of the drone. Being accidentally hit in the face by one would be a great way to lose an eye or obtain a nasty cut. Drones can't operate with the assumption that everyone is going to have a perfectly open backyard
Drones will need several mechanisms to render them safer during this moment, whether it's some sort of sensor that detects a person (or pet) approaching and turns off the rotors, and/or some kind of feedback ("Please stand back") until it moves a safe distance away from the delivery. Perhaps it won't land or take off until the area is clear either. This might be something the package sender would want as well, to prevent people from stealing or otherwise harming the drones when they're on the ground. (How the drones will avoid people trying to bring them down in the air with guns—in America, at least—and thrown objects is another issue altogether. Evasive maneuvers!).
Just like with other, non-flying robots and other, potentially dangerous means of transportation like cars, commercial drones are going to need to give off social cues as to what they are doing or are about to do. It's the same as with the turn signals and brake lights in a car: they're unnecessary for the maneuver, but they prevent accidents and allow other humans nearby to understand what you're doing or intend to do and react accordingly. Commercial drones will come into close contact with people requiring the same kinds of social cues, what Don Norman calls "social signifiers," to indicate intent, so that they can react accordingly.
The Drone Zone
The next design problem is where the drone will land and leave its cargo. While there is of course going to be some technical and legal restrictions that assuredly the Federal Aviation Administration (and similar organizations around the world) will help determine, I don't think we'll be able to count on companies to know the best spot for the drone to land, especially in drone-unfriendly urban environments with little landing space. I'm expecting some sort of customer-designated landing pad, perhaps defined with some sort of physical device, the way iRobot's Roomba has a "Lighthouse," which can help guide the robot from room to room. This landing pad object could determine if there's enough room and airspace for the drone to easily land and take off again—something that could be tricky if, say, one were using a balcony for the drone to land on. Or perhaps it's not an object, but an app that uses some sort of AR to determine possible landing sites and sends the coordinates to the drone.
In any case, commercial drones can't operate with the assumption that everyone is going to have a perfectly open backyard as in the Amazon demo (by the sea, no less) for the drone to land. Customers are probably the best people to help determine where the drone should land, particularly if there's a chance the package could be stolen before reaching it.
Cleaning up After Drones
The last (obvious) UX question is about the drone package itself. Are they meant to be discarded? Flirtey uses cardboard boxes, but in the Amazon video, the packages looked like weather-resistant plastic boxes, built especially for drone use. Throwing them out seems like a waste. Instead, they should be returned and filled again, perhaps garnering a deposit, much like returning old-fashioned milk bottles once did.
I suppose they could be mailed back, but that's a lot of effort and besides, a delivery drone could simply pick up a used package and return it after dropping off a new delivery. This would require some coordination on the part of the customer, namely indicating that she has an empty package to return, then placing it where a drone can easily reattach it and fly away. Drones returning from delivering other packages could even pick them en route to home. This too would have to be managed from an app or the sender's website.
Name Game of Drones
One last suggestion to make commercial drones less intimidating: name them. There is a big emotional difference between seeing "Amazon PrimeAir on its way!" on an app, and "Speedy SuperFly is on its way!" One is a generic service, the other has character and increases anticipation and fun. Kids (both young and old) would get a kick out of it, particularly if the drones had slightly different outer casings and colors. It could be the real life version of Thomas the Tank Engine. Amazon could even sell the toys for the holidays. It's a win-win.
While there are still many details to resolve, and while some may argue that this kind of service shouldn't be attempted at all, I suspect it's an inevitability for certain (especially rural) areas where delivery is expensive and for certain kinds of (lightweight) products. It might not happen soon, or be everywhere and certainly not deliver as many products as Amazon claims, but for some types of products and delivery areas, the potential cost savings will be too great for online retailers like Amazon and shippers like FedEx to ignore.
What also shouldn't be ignored are the people on the receiving end of this service, the ones who'll have the most contact with the drones. The details of that contact should be designed, just like the details of any great service should be. The technology isn't enough. It seldom is.

Beautiful vision of the future.......but, there's always a but.
The pessimist in me (comes from being a tester) can't help see so many downsides to this (let's face it) eventuality.
(1) With the possibility of having so many in the sky at the same time, they would have to fly below the level of any airplane or helicopter.
(2) With them flying at low level, possibly low enough to be brought down by kids with air guns, or even stones, they would still have to evade possible collisions with birds.
(3) Is the responsibility of the delivered package deemed as that of the receiver, if it is left on the front or back garden?
(4) Failure of drone to disengage, (a) watch your package fly away again, or (b) you've adopted a drone.
(5) Package delivered to the wrong address, no automatic collection (that would be cool to see though).
(6) Falling packages and/or drones causing accidents and injuries.
For the ultra-pessimist:
Perfect delivery system for an explosive device, or virus.
Even with the guarantee of screening of package before it is sent out, a package could be replaced mid-flight with something potentially harmful.
I'm writing this on a Monday, so that could explain my pessimistic view :o)
Sorry to be a buzz kill.
Talking about reusable packages raises an interesting question - why isn't this done for non-drone deliveries, now? Having recently ordered several large items, and gone through the pain of breaking down big cardboard boxes for recycling (and disposing of any padding material that was inside), I can tell you there's a lot of waste product there.
If Amazon has already released this as a definite offering in the future, I'd assume that they probably had to come up with answers for each question you've asked in this articles, right?

Daily OCD: 12/9/10 | |
Written by Mike Baehr | Filed under Shimura Takako, reviews, Moto Hagio, manga, Josh Simmons, Joe Daly, Jim Woodring, Jason, Jacques Tardi, Hans Rickheit, Four Color Fear, Drew Weing, Daily OCD, Coming Attractions, Best of 2010 | 9 Dec 2010 3:06 PM |
Today's Online Commentary & Diversions. Today's reviews come directly or indirectly via Hans Rickheit:
• Review: "Simmons' artwork [in House] masterfully cranks up the tension and tightens the suspense as the ill-fated explorers descend into the building's subterranean depths; as his characters enter the house, his dark frames thicken, becoming the walls of the house. The comic is wordless, but the characters have no trouble expressing themselves as they go from the heights of youthful elation to sheer terror as the house swallows them whole." – Ao Meng, The Daily Texan
• Review: "As both an anthology and as a survey of the times, [Four Color] Fear is incredibly successful, with nary a dud in the whole bunch. Each fun story offers its own brand of chill, thrills and maniacal laughter. [...] But the real disquieting aspect of these comics were probably not intended as such — chauvinistic behavior is rampant among the men, and women are portrayed as either damsels in distress or cold-hearted femme-fatales. These are artifacts of a simpler age." – Ao Meng, The Daily Texan
• Review: "The Squirrel Machine is not for the faint of heart, and features quite disturbing and grotesque imagery — H. R. Giger has nothing on Rickheit's psychosexual nightmares. [...] Existing on the crossroad of creativity and madness, The Squirrel Machine is a nightmare in a series of gristly tableaus. The psychedelic rooms full of machinery, sex and death are an inward exploration as much as Jim Woodring's ('Frank') comics are outwardly allegorical. An exploration of an artist's mind, it uncovers the obscene, the things that were never meant to be brought to light." – Ao Meng, The Daily Texan
• Review: "Blimey, [The Squirrel Machine] is a weird one. Imagine a steampunk version of the last ten minutes of Eraserhead. [...] Its design and tone is indebted to Little Nemo in Slumberland, although far more disturbing. [...] The book is full of strange scenes which accurately convey the claustrophobic atmosphere and slight off-ness of a powerful dream. In no way is it fluffy around the edges. The detail is unflinching, with a refreshing lack of explanation... Is it all a dream? Who can tell?" – Grant Buist, The Name of This Cartoon Is Brunswick
• Review: "Another excellent debut graphic novel, another webcomic-printed-as-book, another beautiful Fantagraphics book-as-object, and another rollicking seafaring adventure. [...] What distinguishes [Set to Sea] from a merely average graphic novel is the excellent pacing, the thoughtfulness of the (unnamed) protagonist, and the minimal use of words in a book about writing poetry!" – Grant Buist, The Name of This Cartoon Is Brunswick
• Review: "A luxurious collection of Moto Hagio's influential comics, ...[A Drunken Dream and Other Stories] is a valuable sampler of her long career, a compilation of short stories from 1970 to 2007 which feature her innovative panel layouts and expressive characters, and include many of her favourite themes, such as sibling rivalry, postnatal depression and ghosts. [...] This is yet another beautiful book-as-object-of-desire..." – Grant Buist, The Name of This Cartoon Is Brunswick
• List: Weathercraft, "a thrilling, nauseating, inspiring journey from terror to triumph," is Sean T. Collins's Comic of the Year of the Day at Attentiondeficitdisorderly
• Review: "An utter nightmare. [...] Over a hundred densely-drawn pages [of Weathercraft], filled with Woodring's bejewelled creatures and salamandric hallucinations, Manhog achieves a kind of enlightenment. A great if unsettling work." – Grant Buist, The Name of This Cartoon Is Brunswick
• Review: "Two entertaining tales... [that] capture the zip and intrigue of a good Tintin adventure, and the supporting characters are suitably bizarre... [The Red Monkey Double Happiness Book is n]ot your usual American/Canadian two-guys-mooch-around-an-apartment bollocks." – Grant Buist, The Name of This Cartoon Is Brunswick
• Review: "The first of Norwegian cartoonist Jason's books to be published in translation, and one of his neatest and most satisfying stories. [...] If it were a film, Hey, Wait… would melodramatically labour the childhood tragedy it features, but in a Jason book it's an understated pivot for the two halves of the story." – Grant Buist, The Name of This Cartoon Is Brunswick
• Coming Attractions: The Manga Curmudgeon looks ahead to Shimura Takako's Wandering Son Vol. 1, declares "Sold!"
• Coming Attractions: "The Arctic Marauder [by Jacques Tardi] – A steampunk story with mad scientists, sea monsters, and futuristic machines at the North Pole. In a 'faux woodcut style.' Fantagraphics continues to be the most consistently innovative publisher of adventure comics around." – Michael May, Robot 6

In addressing the medical marijuana issue, we have to ask what possible benefit it brings to Lyons. What type of lifestyle does Lyons want to promote? Boulder County is already over-saturated with marijuana dispensaries and they overwhelm our small town.To the Editor:
Ms Rosekrans' key argument, "How do we ask a board of seven individuals to draft up binding, unambiguous legislation, that satisfies all parties, when in fact, all the state's legal resources have been unable to do that very thing?" is misleading for two reasons.
Dear Editor,
Thank you for sharing with us the wonderful results of Mrs. Genty's 3rd grade writing project in the 27 Jan Lyons Recorder. Delightful and awesome; we laughed and cried. Great work!�
In the interest of full disclosure, let it be known that the author of this article is married to the Mayor.
The Lyons Board of Trustees (BOT) held a workshop prior to their regularly scheduled meeting Monday night (February 7) to discuss the job description and duties of Paula Randazzo, an intervention counselor at the high school whose salary is jointly funded by the Town, Boulder County, and the St. Vrain Valley School District. Lest anyone worry that the subject was not at the forefront of everyone's mind, the discussion did eventually come around to medical marijuana.

We've actually been meaning to support GL_AMD_performance_monitor for some time now. I started on it a while back, but got busy with other things and never finished it.
We do have a few things: intel-gpu-top shows how busy the GPU is, a breakdown by unit, render vs. blitter usage, and basic counters like VS/PS invocations. However, the 'top' style interface is not always the most useful, since it doesn't allow you to capture data over time. We also have a small proof of concept program called 'chaps' in intel-gpu-tools which exposes Ironlake's MI_REPORT_PERF counters. Ultimately, the idea is to expose those via GL_AMD_performance_monitor. We currently don't have that for Sandybridge/Ivybridge though, sadly. As Michael mentioned, there are some hoops to jump through, but I think once someone writes the code that should be doable.
Another new tool is Eric's INTEL_DEBUG=shader_time, which shows a breakdown of how many clock cycles were used by each vertex shader, 8-wide fragment shader, and 16-wide fragment shader. It's extremely useful for determining which shaders are the most expensive (sometimes large shaders are seldom used, while smaller shaders are used extremely frequently, so guessing doesn't always work). That allows us to focus our optimization efforts. (Sadly this is Ivybridge only, since the timestamp register didn't exist prior to that.)
But overall I agree, we need more performance counters, and need to expose them to application developers.

All week long I add and schedule tasks for the coming weekend - things I just won't have time for during the week. So when Saturday rolls around, I may have 30 or more tasks of varying levels of priority. Maybe one top priority is to go to the grocery store for... milk. But as long as I'm out, I can also stop at Stapes for...staples, and pick up stamps at the post office, and drop off a hat my kid's friend left at our house. These other tasks were low priorities, but they were each things I could do today.Now that I'm going out, I scan through my tasks for the day, select all of them (whether on the web, iphone or iPad) and group-edit the tags for each, adding the tag "now" for each of them. So now while I'm out running my errands, I am displaying all tasks tagged as "now," and see just the five things I decided to do while I'm out. It gets the other 25 out of the way, whether they are otherwise a high or low priority. I can mark "complete" or delete them one-by-one and return home with a blank screen. Very satisfying.

We're Blushing
Originality Detection
Our plagiarism detection currently does a pretty good job, but we recognize that users would like to see what page(s) on the Internet matched their document. This has been added to our "To Do" list.
More Features
Some of our critics have stated that our automated proofreading service is useful, but doesn't wow them enough to keep coming back. Please consider that what you see right now is only the tip of the iceberg in terms of where we plan on taking this service. If grammar checking, spelling correction, word choice analysis, and plagiarism detection does not do it for you, then we feel confident that the features on the horizon will. Check back soon...
6 comments:
I read about your site today and tried it out. I'm sorry to say that I wasn't impressed. The item I submitted had an obvious dangling participle that was not flagged--and that was the test I'd hoped you would pass.
My criticism isn't meant to be negative but rather to alert you to a spot where improvement is needed. Unfortunately, I don't see any location for doing so other than commenting on a post...my intention is to be helpful. Maybe some will read this one day.Your rater ignored "These" but questioned "tales." which should have been identical to the unquestioned "Tales" of the title.
Your rater said sophisticated vocabulary was only 83% of "average," but challenged terms as "ensure," "the fact that," even "conclude" [=logically decide]as "complex" [and suggested "end" "finish" for the last one].
It also seemed to ignore quotes when novel terminology was used... I suppose legitimate to question, but wonder at suggestions way out of context.Thanks for the feedback. I know this response is somewhat late, but may be useful for people that find this article in the future...
@Michael - I do appreciate any constructive criticism. We are improving grammar detection capabilities right now during development and hope to release these improvements soon. However, in response to your comment, I'm not certain that dangling participles are the type of error that should be used to judge the effectiveness of our algorithms. Typically, evaluating whether a participle is dangling requires deep semantic understanding of the antecedent -- something which computers do not yet have.
@AEF's GURU - Thanks! We have made several changes since your post that will eliminate some of the false positives you experienced.@oasic: I'm no longer a programmer, but over two decades ago, we worked on ways to diagram sentences by computer. The problem was not writing code that would analyze a sentence based upon strict grammatical rules; the problem was lack of memory and storage. Now that those problems are long gone, I would think today's clever programmers would have no difficulty. I'm not trying to be critical so much as encouraging you to be more creative.
Do schools still teach students how to diagram sentences?@Michael - Please do not feel that you are being too critical; we appreciate all the feedback. We are currently developing with some of the tools that you mentioned -- ones that parse the sentence into a tree based structure. Because language is so dynamic and a word's grammatical role in a sentence often depends on its meaning, this approach is hardly fool proof. Computers can parse a sentence into multiple trees and choose the most probable. Often, no suitable tree (i.e., diagram) can be generated, which sometimes indicates a grammatical error in the sentence. However, identifying the specific error is more challenging. Finally, there's the issue of false positives. If we find 100% of the errors, but also include a large percentage of false positives, then people will not be happy. So, it's a balancing act and there is still much to be done.

Actually, from what I remember was that poliwag was the first pokémon, thought up by Satoshi Tajiri when he saw tadpoles with spiralling innards seen through their semi-transparent skin.
Though he could have thought of it earlier, then created it after creating rhydon.

I'm sure everyone knows this one: Jynx's skin tone was changed from black to purple since everyone thought that she was a racial stereotype, when in fact (bet you didn't know this, but you might) she is based off a mythological singer and dancer that brought blizzards to Mt. Fuji.

Actually, the only reason they chose Pikachu over Clefairy as the mascot was sheerly due to its popularity in the anime.
Butterfree was supposed to be the Venonat's final form and Venomoth, Caterpie's.
No, really. This is just a random theory, but a very likely one.
Here are some:
- Poliwag's swirl changes direction when it evolves into Poliwhirl.
- Girafarig is one of four Pokemon with palindromic names, the others being Eevee, Ho-oh and Alomomola
- Pikachu is actually only native to the Kanto region. All Pikachu found in other regions (such as the Safari Zone in Hoenn, and the Trophy Garden in Sinnoh) were imported there from Kanto.
I thought they chose Pikachu because unlike Clefairy, it is yellow, a color that please both boys and girls, unlike pink, which is supposed to be a girl's only color.
Here's another fact about the Poliwag family: Those swirly bellies of theirs aren't just for show, they're really supposed to be their intestines; able to be seen through their semitransparent skin. Based off actual tadpoles : )

How Long Does Acne Last?
My son is 15, and he started breaking out when he was 12. He wants to know when this is going to end. What do I tell him?
– Cyndee
No one knows exactly how long acne will last for each person. Many people find that their acne improves as they become older and that it has almost disappeared by the time they enter their twenties. Others have acne well into their adult years.
The good news is that acne can be treated — and breakouts can sometimes be prevented. Prevention involves taking good care of the skin. Your son should wash his face twice a day (and after building up a sweat) with a mild soap and lukewarm water. Make sure he washes it gently; teens sometimes scrub too hard in an attempt to get rid of acne. This can irritate the skin and actually make acne worse.
Sunscreen, moisturizers, and makeup should be labeled "oil free," "noncomedogenic," or "nonacnegenic." Hair and hair styling products should be kept away from the face, and hair should be shampooed daily.
Your son should try not to touch his face and should avoid wearing tight-fitting hats or clothing over the acne-affected area. If good hygiene isn't helping with breakouts, your son can try an over-the-counter acne cream or gel. Be sure he follows the directions carefully and does not use it more than is recommended.
If his acne still doesn't improve, he may need some extra help from the family doctor or a dermatologist. A doctor can recommend the best treatment for him and also give lots of useful tips on dealing with acne.

About Eastwood Welding Clamps - Intergrip Panel Clamps Set of 4
Innovative panel-alignment clamps make it easier for you to position flat or curved panels for precise butt welds. Intergrip panel-alignment clamps work like miniature butt-weld clamps that align panels edge-to-edge and surface-to-surface, leaving an ideal 0.040" gap for full weld penetration. Clamp the sections together, tack weld, and remove the Intergrip welding clamps for final welding. The result is a clean butt weld that requires little grinding, and is less likely to trap moisture.
Set of 4 Intergrips securely hold flat or curved panels edge-to-edge and surface-to-surface for a nice clean joint.
Clamp the sections together, tack weld, and remove the Intergrips for final welding. Sometimes trimming the patch for a precise edge-to-edge fit is difficult and gaps need to be filled. Our 19038 Welder's Helper solves this problem by providing a backup that can be welded over without sticking.

text: That's one of the beautiful things about Scotch whisky, especially Islay, Campbeltown, and the Islands. So much brine, and sea, and a million little nuances that sneak in during the much slower maturation close to the sea. I think I read that no whisky is ever aged more than 40 miles from the ocean in Scotland. That's probably not true exactly, but it has to be close.

Giratina (Japanese: ギラティナ Giratina) is a famous Legendary Ghost/Dragon-type Pokémon. Giratina has the ability to change forms between its altered and origin forms by holding an item called the Griseous Orb. Giratina is also the version mascot for Pokémon Platinum. It is the rival of Dialga and Palkia.
Giratina's Altered Forme is a giant, dragon-like Pokémon, with an appearance similar to that of a large sauropod. It has 6 legs, gold protrusions that look like external ribs, and golden horns on its head. Its neck has five red stripes and 4 black stripes. On its back, it has a black stripe pattern that extends to its legs. It has black wings with three red thorn-like appendages called Girasols (a rare type of opal) coming out of them. Giratina's Origin Forme is more serpentine (like an amphiptere) than its Altered Forme. Its wings are now shaped like tentacles with the red thorn-like appendages sticking out at the end. Its mouth is now behind the two appendages in front of its face. They open when Giratina roars or etc. The horns on its head are still the same. Giratina in Origin Forme has five rows of golden spikes protruding out of the torso and near the tail. Five gray and red stripes are partially overlapped by these spikes.Special Abilities
Like some Pokémon, it has a signature move, called Shadow Force, which hits the opponent without fail even if the foe uses Protect or Detect beforehand.When in its Origin Forme, it retains its phenomenal amounts of HP, like any other Pokémon that is in their alternate formes, and it focuses on more offensive moves, and less on the defensive moves. It switches its Attack stats with its Defense stats in its Origin Forme, making it a great powerhouse. It is also a vastly powerful Pokémon that can use these benefits to fit the trainer's focus on attacking.
It will become Origin Forme when in the Distortion World, or when holding the Griseous Orb, which can be found in a secret part of the Distortion World that can only be entered through a portal in Turnback Cave (The portal will only open if you catch Giratina in the Distortion World) or get it before catching it.
Giratina has a large role in the 11th Pokémon movie, Giratina and the Sky Warrior, where it tries to attack Dialga for polluting its dimension with its earlier battles with Palkia. However, later on it is captured by Zero and nearly killed after he tries to absorb its powers. Giratina is rescued by Ash and his friends, with help from Shaymin. Giratina also has a role in the 12th Pokémon movie, Arceus and the Jewel of Life, where Giratina fends off Arceus as Ash and friends prevent the betrayal long ago from happening.
Giratina does not evolve.

- No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Giratina.
- Because of this, Giratina is the only dual type Pokémon that is weak to both of its types, as well the only Ghost-type Legendary Pokémon without using the Spooky Plate attached, Conversion, etc.
- Along with Palkia and Dialga, their eyes resemble those of Arceus's.
- In the anime, Giratina has the same roar as the monster Mothra, who initially starred in her own movie, before being absorbed by the Godzilla franchise.
- Giratina is not the only monster to have a roar from the Toho Sound Library. Palkia, Zekrom, Reshiram and Kyurem also have roars used by monsters in the Godzilla franchise (part of Palkia's roar came from Skywalker Sound).
- In Arceus and the Jewel of Life, Giratina is the only one not having the same shield orb just like that of Palkia and Dialga. Giratina used its wings to defend itself.
- Sometimes, other people pronounce Giratina as in Jee-ra-tee-na instead of Gir-a-tee-na.
- If you listen closely, Girantina's cry sounds like it has background music.
- Giratina was most likely banished to the distortion world by Arceus, and because of this it hates, and is somewhat envious, of Arceus.

The Story
Heat-resistant to 800 degrees, this reversible ceramic stone is a natural for grilling or baking crispy pizza or tortillas. Reversible stone has a ribbed side for burgers, steaks and poultry. Even heat distribution cooks without hotspots, duplicating the effect of a brick-lined pizza oven. Season stone by lightly coating the surface with vegetable oil. The more the stone is used, the more seasoned it will become, enhancing the flavor of foods and developing non-stick properties. With use, the stone will darken naturally over time. Cleaning it with hot water and a grill brush while still hot will preserve the seasoning; a more thorough cleaning with hot water and soap or in the dishwasher will require re-seasoning with vegetable oil spray.

Kernel Seeds
Revision as of 00:09, April 10, 2014 by Daniel Robbins (Talk)
This page is intended to house the new Kernel Seeds page.
Here's what Duncan and I think is a good idea:
- kernel-seeds.org redirects to this page.
- This page has some nice, special graphics on it to differentiate it from the other Funtoo Wiki pages.
- This page begins with a short, wiki-syle history of Kernel Seeds, giving credit to Pappy and talking about its role in the Gentoo community.
- Following this, a short introduction to the concepts behind kernel seeds will be written from scratch.
- Existing content will be converted and edited and stored as subpages (ie. Kernel_Seeds/Working_With_Kernel_Seeds)
- The latest .config files (3.9.9 era) will be moved to a git repository to allow community maintenance. The older versions will be archived.
- Utilize the Funtoo bug tracker for kernel seeds issues, possibly with a new "Kernel Seeds" project to select.
This will allow the pages to be maintained by interested users, and allow good integration with the rest of the Funtoo wiki, while maintaining its distinctiveness with its own look.

Peter Marlow: The English Cathedral
View photo details
July 24, 2013
by Peter Marlow
View profile
In 2008, on the occasion of the 300th anniversary of the completion of St Paul's Cathedral, Peter Marlow was commissioned by Royal Mail to shoot six cathedrals (Litchfield, Belfast, Gloucester, St David's, Westminster, St Magnus in Orkney). The resulting photographs were issued as a set of 6 commemorative stamps and a miniature sheet. Once the commission was complete however, Marlow was inspired to continue in a similar vein, out of his own interest and in the following four years, he shot the 42 cathedrals of the Church of England – an endeavour that can be placed within the tradition of church photography in England, particularly the work of Frederick Evans and Edwin Smith.
"I began by photographing the aesthetic highlights of each building, but the images seemed to merge with one another. In order to differentiate each place I needed to find a more rigorous and systematic approach, so I adopted the simple strategy of photographing the naves looking along the central axis", says Marlow. Most cathedrals were therefore shot from the same position: looking east towards the altar as dawn broke through the main window, with all artificial lighting turned off. The viewpoint adds depth to the visual experience of the building, while the discipline of this strict approach allows the power of the place to unfold in the dark. Each cathedral was shot on large format film, bringing into sharp relief the splendour of the architecture, whatever the style.
Peter Marlow writes: "Air rifles or the Mappa Mundi: the memories of peripheral things remain as vivid as the historical highlights of each place. I did plenty of research before each visit, and once I felt I had completed the photography, I would spend time sitting in the nave, absorbing the power of a place where for centuries people had experienced the energy, fear and balm of religion. Everything about these places has already been said, but they have not all been 'experienced'."
