Analysis of blue and red laser performance of the infrared-pumped praseodymium-doped fluoride fiber laser
Tropper, A.C., Carter, J.N., Lauder, R.D.T., Hanna, D.C., Davey, S.T. and Szebesta, D. (1994) Analysis of blue and red laser performance of the infrared-pumped praseodymium-doped fluoride fiber laser. Journal of the Optical Society of America B, 11, (5), 886-893. (doi:10.1364/JOSAB.11.000886).
Full text not available from this repository.
The laser performance at 491 and 635nm of praseodymium-doped fluorozirconate fiber pumped at 1.01µm and 835nm is described and is interpreted with analytical solutions to the rate equations. Spectroscopic measurements of the absorption and the emission cross sections are presented, and the values are shown to be consistent with the observed lasing performance. The analytical model is shown to be a reliable indication of the optimum length of fiber for operation on the three-level 491nm transition.

Journal Sentinel book editor Jim Higgins highlights things worth reading, in print and online
Listening to Lou Reed: 'Hudson River Wind Meditations'
On Fridays I'm posting my thoughts on Lou Reed's solo albums, one album at a time in chronological order of release.
Am I obligated to begin a discussion of Lou Reed's "New Age" music album, "Hudson River Wind Meditations" (2007), with a joke?
Not if I consider its musical merits, which is the point of this weekly series. After all, "Hudson River Wind Meditations" is an album of electronic music. Being electronic music, it's on a continuum with that other joke-inspiring Reed album, "Metal Machine Music" -- though that would need to be a very long continuum.
"I made it for myself to do certain things," Reed told Beliefnet's Valerie Reiss in an interview. "I use it for meditation and tai chi and body work. And I wanted to have some music that I liked. So, I made this for myself. And since then, different -- we use it in our tai chi class now."
Tai chi was no joke for Reed: he told Reiss he had been practicing the martial art for more than 25 years. (You can read more about Lou's tai chi experience in KungFumagazine.com.)
Reed made the four tracks found on this album by blending the recorded sound of wind off the Hudson River with electronic sounds in the studio -- among other toys, Lou mentioned using a Moog Analog Voyager.
Lou told his Beliefnet interviewer that "Hudson River Wind Meditations" "isn't New Agey." After a couple of listens, I mostly agree with him. While it's instrumental and has some natural sounds, it doesn't have that utterly mellow quality I associate with New Age music.
It does, though, have distinctly New Agey titles.
The opening track, "Move Your Heart" (28:55), is the closest this album comes to the kind of music I'd expect to hear in the massage therapist's room. Long, slow waves of sound move through with minimal variations:
I would NOT want to hear "Find Your Note" (31:35) while getting a massage. It's a spookier ambient track, with ongoing shards of overtone or feedback:
"Hudson River Wind (Blend the Ambience" (1:51) seems to be built of electronically altered wind sounds. "Wind Coda" (5:22) sounds like the child of the two longer tracks, combining the slow-moving waves of "Move Your Heart" with some of the edgy sounds of "Find Your Note":
As part of this blog series, I'm compiling a Spotify playlist with my favorite songs from each Reed album. That Spotify playlist is embedded at the end of this post.
'Perfect Night: Live in London' 'Set the Twilight Reeling'
'Magic and Loss' 'Songs for Drella'
'New York,' Part II 'New York,' Part I
'September Song' 'Live in Italy' 'Legendary Hearts'
'The Blue Mask' 'Growing Up in Public' 'The Bells'
'Take No Prisoners' 'Street Hassle' 'Rock and Roll Heart'
'Coney Island Baby' 12 versions of 'Sweet Jane'
I survived 'Metal Machine Music'
'Lou Reed Live' 'Sally Can't Dance' 'Rock 'n' Roll Animal'
'Berlin' 'Transformer' The eponymous debut album 'Lou Reed'

This year's event started a day early with a full day of closed off free ride! An amazing way to get used to the hill in large packs.
Load of runs were had the first and second day in wet and dry conditions. Thankfully things stayed dry the entire race day.
Unlike Danger Bay Jakes Rash was not a family event! Sexual acts on the corner, swearing on the speakers, and beer in almost everyone's hand made for a great time.
Aidan Lynds managed to take a couple snaps from the race that you can check out on our Facebook.
Our hommie Alysha also took a few snaps of the week.

Next thing you know they'll be doing jeans commercials, finding god and making soft rock albums.
Skibz777 (October 5, 2011)
Two news stories within five minutes?! It's almost like PunkNews is putting in actual effort today! :D
Dante3000 (rich) (October 5, 2011)
Good on them. Seriously. I don't want to play favorites but the concept of "selling out" has been pretty much completely skewed in the digital era. I hope they can keep doing this as long as it makes them happy.
lostcausegiveup (October 5, 2011)
Good for them. Seriously, I can't figure out why people turn their backs on a band when they go to a major. Even when I was 16 the arguments about it sounded stupid to me.
exitenglish1208 (October 5, 2011)
was gonna happen sooner or later, good for them. looking forward to the next release
Babrook (October 5, 2011)
If there is any band in the world right now that deserves to be blaring over every 'alt-rock' station, it is this one.
kfcmorrisseyftw (October 5, 2011)
We all live in a murderous world, as the events in Mercury Records have shown, with 97 punkers who died of heart break. Though that is nothing compared to what happens in McDonald's and Kentucky Fried S*** every day.
dev (October 5, 2011)
Good for them. Really looking forward to the new album next year. These guys can do no wrong.
Babrook (October 5, 2011)
Also, Arcade Fire is on Mercury? I was under the impression they were staunchly indie on Merge.
mevsall (October 5, 2011)
American Slang might as well have been on a major label. It had that watered down sound of a major label debut.
bastard_squad (October 5, 2011)
No big surprise. Just hope its a fun rock record. A little weary of him saying ihes aiming for aggressive Pearl Jam and latter era Foo Fighters. We will see.
Babrook (October 5, 2011)
A thread like this would get 400 comments a few years ago.
hooverstreet (October 5, 2011)
Have any of the successful indie bands that have gone major in recent years actually succeeded at that level aside from AFI and Rise Against? Some of the noteable flops that come to mind include Rancid, Alkaline Trio, Saves the Day, Against Me, The Distillers, Anti-Flag, Shadows Fall, Hatebreed, Thursday. I'm sure there were others. This appears to be the new model that major labels are going for and it ends up being really counterproductive for the bands.
punkcdsampler (October 5, 2011)
When Fallon played solo in DC he went on a mini-rant against major labels and why he (paraphrasing) said that he'd never sign to one.
chipsahoycookie (October 5, 2011)
In this case, I really don't care that this band signed to a major label. In fact, I'm surprised they didn't much sooner. They already have that sound that's marketable on the radio. With that said, I think signing to a major label is usually pretty stupid for punk bands. Let's face it, most bands put out pretty shitty records after the first controversial, slightly different in sound major label debut. Then the shows get super expensive in time, jersey shore fans come out in droves, and the bands play the same setlist everyday of their hits post indie label. Oddly enough, I do think it's generally better for political bands to be on a major because they can spread their "message" out, beyond speaking to the choir every night.
jacknife737 (October 5, 2011)
MaxRenn (October 5, 2011)
I wonder if they had a 3 album deal with Side One Dummy, and the digital EP was their way of getting out.
lookingforcorpses (October 5, 2011)
I thought Mercury was dead in the US and only existed in the UK at this point?
publichousing (October 5, 2011)
Considering that Brian Fallon steadily continues to get better and better as a songwriter with each subsequent release, I really do not care what label Gaslight is on. Their next record is likely to be nothing short of amazing (as everything has been from Senor and the Queen and onwards) and they kind of deserve to be "huge" seeing as they write music that everyone (punks, metalheads, indie art school douchebags, old school rock and rollers, teenage girls) can tap their heels to. Go forth, Gaslight.
mattramone (October 5, 2011)
As far as I'm concerned, this band broke up sometime shortly after 59 Sound came out.
ozmanx (October 5, 2011)
People were putting much calling it on them joining a major after their 2nd full length. No surprises here.
Tudor (October 5, 2011)
Hair grease, skully caps and cigarettes rolled up in your white t-shirt don't come cheap.
ashtraymonument (October 6, 2011)
eh, not that surprising. these boys deserve all the success in the world, but hopefully they tour before the new album drops so I can get one last chance to see them before the audience douche factor increases substantially
misterrevenge (October 11, 2011)
I figured this would happen-expected it sooner though. Restaurants, clothing stores, food stores, they're being played everywhere and it seems like everyone who hears them for the first time think it's Springsteen. |

1. chris Phoenix at the Center for Responsible Nanotechnlogy reviews a talk by Erik Winfree of CalTech on advancing self assembly towards molecular manufacturing.
The Winfree walk was at the foundations of Nanoscience conference. The detailed schedule for the talks are here.
* While trying to build computational systems, he is working toward general-purpose manufacturing.
* He called for getting beyond pure self-assembly: You can do some things with passive self-assembly; you can do them much better if you're able to implement molecular motors.
* self-assembling tiles with carefully designed matching edges can implement any algorithmically-describable shape. And, of course, DNA can implement tiles with lots of different edge configurations.
* He has a slide titled "Theory of Active Self-Assembly (of Molecular Robots)." It includes the statement, "Any algorithmically-describable shape can be assembled _efficiently_." He talked about shapes with a billion components and said they could be assembled exponentially. He acknowledges "This is something for the future" since we're still at the stage of molecular motors rather than molecular robots.
There were a series of talks about self assembly across scales including Chris Phoenix's own talk.
2. At Metamodern Eric Drexler has a review of Peptoid nanosheets: A platform for new nanotechnologies.
Fresh from Ron Zuckerman's lab at the Molecular Foundry: a new kind of molecular membrane — thin and crystalline — made by self-assembly of peptoid oligomers. As I discussed in an earlier post, peptoids have remarkable potential as building blocks for self-assembled nanosystems. Peptoids are peptide-like structures, but with monomers that can be chosen from among thousands of readily-available building blocks (a broad class of primary amines).
Nature Materials - Free-floating ultrathin two-dimensional crystals from sequence-specific peptoid polymers
The design and synthesis of protein-like polymers is a fundamental challenge in materials science. A biomimetic approach is to explore the impact of monomer sequence on non-natural polymer structure and function. We present the aqueous self-assembly of two peptoid polymers into extremely thin two-dimensional (2D) crystalline sheets directed by periodic amphiphilicity, electrostatic recognition and aromatic interactions. Peptoids are sequence-specific, oligo-N-substituted glycine polymers designed to mimic the structure and functionality of proteins. Mixing a 1:1 ratio of two oppositely charged peptoid 36mers of a specific sequence in aqueous solution results in the formation of giant, free-floating sheets with only 2.7 nm thickness. Direct visualization of aligned individual peptoid chains in the sheet structure was achieved using aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy. Specific binding of a protein to ligand-functionalized sheets was also demonstrated. The synthetic flexibility and biocompatibility of peptoids provide a flexible and robust platform for integrating functionality into defined 2D nanostructures.

Not even a rainy day could keep Lauren Davis from serving up his sunny-side burger in downtown Jackson on Monday. The owner of the city's first food truck, LurnyD's Grille, parked along Lamar Street and sold burgers on his first day of business.
Originally slated to serve food next to the section of Smith Park off West and Amite streets, Davis said a slight problem detoured his food truck, resulting Monday's Lamar Street location between Pearl and Capitol streets.
"This is our one day only in this spot," said Davis, as he stood outside his truck, a mobile restaurant closely resembling the Scooby ...

i live in them in the fall.

dog days of summer
Dogs are the best. Please rescue if you can.
There is a dog adoption every weekend on my street
and every week I just want
to take them all home with me.
These are my two lovers...Dime and Cassius.
And for those who have read my blog for
a while, Cassius is now properly trained :)

black and white
I definitely go through phases with color.
I get a little obsessed with certain color combos...
for instance...I went through a purple phase, a pink
phase, a gray phase..(.still in it) and many more.
Not like that is bad or anything because lots of color is good
and I loved and still love how those interiors turned out.
But right now I am on a black and white kick. So much
that I had my dining chairs picked up the other day
and they will soon be black and white. I will bring other
color into my dining room, not to worry but it was time for
a change. I loved the gold but they were getting so beat up
and I love to change things a little too much. So here
are some of my favorite black and whites ....classic and timeless.

Earlier this year, we posted a chart that illustrated the biggest single political issue of 2010, which revealed the near-complete disconnect that has developed since 2007 between the federal government's spending and the median income of American households. Today, we're going to take you deeper into that issue because rectifying that unsustainable situation will affect the lives of every single American.
We'll begin by revisiting a very slightly modified version of our "biggest issue" chart to give you a better idea of why we designed it to look the way it does.
As you can see, we've shown how the U.S. federal government's total spending has changed with respect to the level of the median U.S. household's income in every year from 1967 through 2009.
While the United States' historic federal expenditure data goes back to the nation's founding, the median household income data only goes back to 1967, which limited our ability to show the relationship between the two before that time. And then, the only reason we didn't go past 2009 is because the Census won't report the median household income for 2010 until October 2011! Not that we didn't take a stab at projecting what median household income will turn out to have been for 2010....
So that's why we indicated the future planned spending portion of the chart as horizontal lines - we won't be able to nail down exactly where the trajectory of total federal spending will be in the future until the U.S. Census gets around to releasing the data.

The Palace Theatre, a grand cultural and entertainment facility in the heart of Albany, New York, first opened its doors in October 1931. Built during the Depression, the Palace was the largest theatre in a city already noted for a number of other opulent movie houses. Today, the Palace Theatre remains the sole survivor of this period of entertainment and continues to make history with a widely diverse offering of popular acts and cultural events. The Palace Theatre was designed by John Eberson, one of the foremost motion picture theatre architects in the world. Originally an RKO movie house presenting vaudeville acts between feature films, the Palace Theatre boasts an ornate Austrian Baroque design with "atmospheric" elements in the auditorium. Atmospheric design referred to architectural features that created the illusion of the auditorium being open to the sky above. In the Palace Theatre, this was achieved by installing a small ceiling cove painted with clouds floating over a blue sky. Though many changes have taken place since its... More >>>

Millions of residents in Dhaka are travelling home from the Bangladeshi capital to celebrate the Eid al-Adha holiday on Wednesday. Muslims around the world celebrate Eid al-Adha to mark the end of the haj by slaughtering sheep, goats, cows and camels to commemorate Prophet Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son Ismail on God's command.

Natural By Drew Estate Reviews
These are my favorite smokes, bar none! Consistency is sometimes a little off from one to the next, but the flavor and the aroma of the smoke is so nice that even my wife likes it when I smoke them. By comparison, my next favorite smoke is an Opus X or Gloria Cubana R Series. Enjoy!
I received this cigar as part of the 'Best Of Drew Estate' Sampler #3. I like the Drew Estate brand in general but this cigar was a bit of a disappointment. It has a nice easy draw which I like and a good even burn - but after that it was a bit downhill. I had a bit of a more bitter and leathery taste. Maybe some people like that - I tend to like a sweeter smoke. And the foot began to unravel as it went along. I received 2 as a part of the sampler - I guess I'll give the second one a chance at some point. Maybe it was just a bad one. Either way - the Drew Estate brand is still my favorite so far.
Very sweet and smooth tasting cigar. One of the best cigars I have ever tasted. I love this cigar and never will stop smoking this cigar. Second favorite ever.
When I saw this i wasn t sure what to expect, I picked it up and felt that it was smooth, no knots, fantastic taste and great burn. Definitely making this a regular.
ok i tried one a lot of smoke... draw is good smokes well but very stong almost had to put it out cause it makes me choke worth the $15 bucks no....would i try it again maybe if the price went down maybe ill try the Natural one ill give it a 6
Love the sweet flavor, smooth smoke. My favorite cigar !
Good cool smoke very good and easy draw,but burns a little fast.lite great taste
My Egg came included in an Auction purchase that was filled with many Name Brand cigars that had been stored away in the basement of an old Victorian house long abandoned by a family with too much worth . It looked aged but somehow maintained its integrity = great care was put into making this odd egg. I babied it for six months rehumidifying it along with the other dried out aged smokes. The first puff made me smile and it held true to it s two hour enjoyment claim. I put it up high on my list of surprising and satisfying stogies. For sure it is not for everyone, it s shape alone will separate the herd with most shying away from it due to appearance alone. I recommend this only to my more seasoned cigar connoisseur friends. Yes, a cork was quickly pulled on my finer Brandy. It was an experience rather than just another smoke with friends who share the enjoyment that can only come from a quality smoke. Age may have played a part with this one s tastse. I will know how it compares to it s more modern Family. I say enjoy one but prepare before you embark on it s journey. Make the time and correct compliments to get the full value an Egg Offers.
This has become my favorite cigar. I love the taste. I haven t had one yet that hasn t burned even and I m a sucker for the torpedo shape.
Amazing cigar it is one of my favs
I heard good things about naturals so I decided to pick one up for myself. Instantly I was in love. The draw was easy, the burn was even and continuous. The flavor was exquisite. No bad aftertaste or sour patches. This was a smooth smoke. Definitely my new favorite.

Cinnamon Roasted Pears with Cider Reduction
Recipe courtesy Gale Gand
- Sweet Dreams
This is a great way to have a fruit dessert any time of the year. Pears are available year-round and my favorite variety is Bartlett. Use[ organic honey if you can and leftover wine if you've got it. There are lots of different kinds of cinnamon--just make sure the one you choose is fresh.]
- Total Time:
- 1 hr 45 min
- Prep:
- 15 min
- Cook:
- 1 hr 30 min
- Yield:
- 4 to 6 servings
- Level:
- Easy
- 2 cups apple cider
- 4 ripe but firm medium pears, preferably Bartlett, unpeeled
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons light-bodied red wine ( Beaujolais would be perfect)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Simmer the cider in a small saucepan until it becomes a thick, golden syrup, about 1 hour. Let cool until ready to serve.(The sauce can be refrigerated for up to 1 week.)
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Halve the pears lengthwise, and using melon baller, remove the seeds. Cut the halves in half lengthwise.
Combine the honey, wine, and cinnamon in a 9 by 13-inch baking dish. Add the pears and toss to coat. Bake until lightly browned and tender, about 20 to 30 minutes.
Serve the pears warm or at room temperature, surrounded by a "swoosh" of cider reduction.

Andrea Riseborough Risks Everything In First Shadow Dancer TrailerBy Sean O'Connell 2013-04-12 17:57:45 comments
Academy Award winner James Marsh has made two breathtakingly outstanding films in the last five years, both being documentaries. If you havent yet seen either 2008s Man On Wire or the fascinating Project Nim from 2011, seek them out. Theyll help prepare you for the directors next effort, Shadow Dancer, a harrowing political thriller starring Clive Owen and Andrea Riseborough that recently dropped a trailer on Apple. Though based on a Tom Bradby novel, the look of the trailer suggests that Marsh wisely will give his picture a docu-drama feel. Riseborough plays Collette McVeigh, a single mother living in Belfast in the 1990s whose brothers happen to be hardcore soldiers for the IRA. When Collette is arrested in connection to an IRA bombing in London, shes detained by authorities and given a choice: go to jail for 25 years and lose everything (including her son), or head home to Belfast to spy on her family. Shadow Dancer ran through the festival circuit in 2012, stopping at Sundance, Berlin, Edinburgh and Austin, Texas as it collected mostly off-the-charts favorable reviews for Riseborough. The young actress turned heads as Wallis Simpson in Madonnas W.E., and she acts alongside Tom Cruise in Oblivion, but this could be the performance that turns her into a household name. Distributed by Magnolia, Shadow Dancer will be available on iTunes starting on April 25, then make its way to select theaters on May 31. The trailer sells a smart, sophisticated thriller with riveting performances. Do you think youll give it a try? Back to top

A few months ago, I got a letter from someone I'll call "Emily." She wrote to ask for my encouragement, which is always humbling and I take these requests seriously. Emily said she and her husband are both Christians, but right now neither is close to God. She said her husband is depressed and that makes her anxious and afraid, unsure of when and if it will end, and what will happen because of it.
In the continuing saga of my ongoing battle over household décor with my husband, this time it's the back sliding glass door. But before I get to that, let me back up to say that in the first 30 or so years of our marriage my husband rarely expressed an opinion about how to decorate the house except for one hard and fast rule: I could choose any color to paint the walls as long as it was antique or Navaho white. Other than that I had free reign — and I love to reign.
CYNTHIANA PRESBYTERIAN A special 'Peacekeeping' worship service will be held on Sept. 11 at 11 a.m. at Cynthiana Presbyterian Church. We are honoring the work of public servants in Cynthiana and Harrison County, particularly our police officers and firefighters during this service.

Last week while on my stay-at-home vacation, I went fishing. For billions of people around the world, that news would be a big fat no big deal because it's done all the time so ho hum, tell me something I don't know. However, for me, going fishing was a big fat very big deal because it was my first time ever. At 56, I had never fished before, and for months now I have been wanting to, almost to the point of it being an obsession. I don't know why I've been wanting to fish so badly, only that I have.
On May 30, 1978, the blood of Jesus cleansed me from all my sin. Actually, that happened 2,000 years before that, but I didn't know it until that day. As my Jesus-anniversary present this year, I bought myself a CD of old hymns set to new music. It's called "For All the Saints," the third Indelible Grace project. (See www.igracemusic.com)
FAIRVIEW BAPTIST Fairview Baptist Church, Kelat, at the intersection of Hwy. 1032 and Hwy. 1744, will be having their annual fall revival.

Damian Kindle with special music by Mr. and Mrs. Danny Brannock and Cindy Hill. •Friday, Aug. 26, we will here a message from Bro. Rick Lockhart with special music by The New Zion Baptist Choir and Mike Cummins.
Every so often my husband gets a certain look in his eye and then says, "Before you say no, hear me out." What comes next almost always involves a stepladder, can of spackle, his drill and a huge mess. I remember the time he tore the spare bedroom apart and temporarily stored a bed in the front bathroom. For days I muttered, "There's a bed in my bathroom!"
HOUR OF DELIVERANCE Hour of Deliverance Chapel and Time of Harvest Outreach Ministry will be at the courthouse Saturday, Aug. 27 at 6 p.m. The Rev. William Gaunce and Austin Munoz will be bringing the message. There will be singing. Bring a lawn chair and get a blessing.

During the 1970s, American gerontologist M.Powell Lawton and colleagues saw the person-environment system as fundamential to defining the quality of later life. They proposed the environmental docility hypothesis that weighed the more competent the person, the less dependent they are on environmental circumstances. This work was later advanced to show that environmental pro-activity, including adaptation, could reinfroce control and autonomy. While that theoretical development focused on the micro-environment of accommodation, it can be applied to the macro-environment of community living. This paper, which utilises data from an empirical study 'Environment and Identity in Later Life', examines both the micro and macro scales, develops the theoretical content of the person-competence model, considers the complexity of person- environment interaction, and argues that over time some people find that their attachment to particular environments are compromised by declining competence or changes in the environment, or both. The point at which change impacts on an individual's independence and wellbeing is reached when adaptive behaviour cannot rebalance the macro- and micro-environmental press. This point, termed 'option recognition', leads to a range of strategic responses including: modification of the behaviour or environment; structural support using formal and informal services; and relocation; all of which impact on self-identity.

May 2008
Rookie Rockets Rays Past A's
Worst part of a game starting at 9:30 at night, you might not get to the pillow until maybe 1 AM. Worst part of last night's game, what pillow?. When you win a game like that, the "zombie" walk that is part of the next day is acceptable behavior in my book. Hopefully my customers will not ask me any questions, for I will be sleeping on my feet today……….snore….
Trivia Fact of the Night:
Until 1954, players were able to leave their gloves on the field while their team batted.
The Good,The Bad,and The Ugly
The Good
The Rays rookie, Evan Longoria has had a dream year so far in 2008. He is leading all AL third baseman in fielding percentage (.997), he has been rewarded with a long term contract by the club, and he is hitting the ball like a guy who has been here for a long time.
People forget he was not with the Rays for the first 10 games of the year But since then, you can't get the kid off the hot corner.
Longoria went 3-6 last night with 3 RBI's. Evan also got a stolen base off of Kurt Suzuki and Keith Foulke in the top of the 8th inning. To put the icing on the cake, Longoria got his 2-run shot of former Ray Chad Gaudin in the top of the 13th inning.
Honorable Mention "Good Guys":
*** Akinora Iwamura is siliently putting together another hitting streak for the Rays. At the beginning of the year, it looked as though Aki would not be a good lead-off candidate for this Rays squad.
Since then, he has come through in the clutch and shown he can deliver in the top spot. With 29 hits in May, Aki leads the AL in that category and only trails Houston's Lance Berkman by 6 for the MLB lead in hits this season in the month of May.
** When Jason Hammel was demoted to the bullpen after Scott Kazmir came back, he took it in stride and still worked out strong and hard to keep in the mind of manager Joe Maddon.
Hammel pitched 3 innings last night and helped the Rays protect the lead with 1 hit and three strikeouts in his outing. Hammel was rewarded with his 3rd win of the season for his efforts.
* Eric Hinske leads the Rays with 18 extra base hits this season. His 2-run homer to tight in the 5th inning started the scoring for the Rays tonight.
His 8th homer this year is two more than he had all last year with the Boston Red Sox. Hinske also got one of the Rays 5 doubles on the night in the 3rd inning.
The Bad
When Frank Thomas came to the Oakland A's after being let go by the Toronto Blue Jays, most people felt he might be entering his last sunset in the MLB.
Do not tell Frank that, as he belted two homers off Rays starter James Shields tonight. For the night, Shields gave up 3 homers, two to Thomas and one to Emil Brown.
Before tonight, Shields had only given up two homers the entire season. His control was not amazing tonight as his cheangeup was missing the corners all night long. Shields did not look comfortable ot there and struggled in his 7.2 innings. He gave up 5 hits and 5 earned runs tonight, while only striking out 3 batters.
The Ugly
I must say the biggest "Ugly" in tonight's game is the tarp covered upper deck area of Oakland's stadium. It is in that ugly dark green hue that makea a great backdrop, but takes the beauty of the stadium away and just make sit look drab and dull.
Players have said that this stadium is the worst for sun-aided outfield drops and mis-plays. The outfield sun backdrop is a monster in the early evening as the sun that beats down at an 85 degree angle on you. Shades and your hand covering your eyes to adjust to the sun do not help in this stadium. Most times you just have to hope you have great positioning as the ball makes its ascent to the turf.
Oakland's own player Jack Cust seemed to have that same situation last night in the top of the 3rd inning on a double by Eric Hinske.
Cust looked to have the play, but when the ball got within 10 feet of him he froze and could not locate the ball in the setting sun. The ball fell a few feet to the right of where he was standing and trickled to the wall before centerfielder Ryan Sweeney retrived the ball for the A's.
Former Rays Player of the Night:
When the Rays traded Brendan Harris to the Twins in the off season, more than one Rays fan cried "foul." They did not see why you would get rid of a guy who was a working class baseball player, who did his job nightly and did not seek the limelight for himself.
Well, Brendan, you are my ex-Ray of the night because of your 3-5 night against the Texas Rangers. Harris was listed as the Twins DH for the night, until taking over at short in the extra innings. Harris currently hitting .262 for the Twins.
Tonight is a another late start ( 10:05 P.M.) with Scott Kazmir taking the mound for the Rays. I am not sure if I am going to make this telecast, but we shall see………..if the kids let me catch a catnap, I might actually see a bunch of innings.
Sonnanstine Helps Himself to Victory Over the Cards
Because of a rainout at Fenway, the Rays are now 2 games up on Boston for the night. I was watching the Rays and the Cards and was really wanting to be at Busch stadium tonight. It looked like a great night, and the Cowbell Kidd was there. Damn it, he loves to steal thunder. I was all but packed to go, then my IRS Stimulus check did not get put in my account by Friday like their voucher said it would. Federal Gov't coverup to keep me in Florida, just kidding Secret Service guys.
Trivia Fact of the Night:
Guy Hecker of the 1886 American Association is the only pitcher to win a batting title, playing the field when he was not pitching. He won 26 games as a starter, and hit .341 for Louisville.
I have decided to let the "Good,The Bad,andThe Ugly" segment rest while we are on our Inter-league schedule. It will be back in force on Monday when we visit the Oakland A's in "O-town".
Rays starter Andy Sonnanstine ( 6-1) went 8 innings tonight and gave up 1 run on 8 hits. More impressive still is the fact he also did it at the plate tonight. Sonnanstine went 2-3 tonight with a run scored and posted a .667 average for the Rays pitchers to shoot for this series. Andy was in command on the field and in the batter's box hitting two really professional hits to show he can hit the ball. Before tonight, Andy was 2-4 lifetime as a hitter with a RBI and a run scored.
This was the Rays first visit ever to new Busch Stadium. Before tonight, the Rays had never beaten the Cardinals in a game. Tonight, only the Cincinatti Reds stand as the only team the Rays have not beaten once in the regular season. The only other ballparks that the Rays have never played in are: Dodger Stadium( LA) and Miller Park (Milwaukee).
Akinora Iwamura is continuing to improve at the plate. He just finished a 11-game hitting streak and is already laoding for another run at his personal best streak. Aki went 3-5 tonight, with a double and an RBI. He also scored a run in the top of the third after Carlos Pena singled to center.
Aki now has 6 multi-hit games in his last 7 starts. He is hitting .367 since May 2, 2008. He has also not grounded into a double play this season in 166 at-bats, and was the hardest to double-up last year in the AL.
Some times Eric Hinske looks so relaxed and at ease in Rightfield that you know he will be okay out there. The he goes and misses a easy out like this and the Cardinals Troy Glaus geta a triple on the play. Hinske was not playing the hitter correctly and did not get a great jump to catch this ball.
I thought he had adjusted right, but then we see the ball on the turf and Glaus motoring for third base. Thank goodness the Rays got Gabe Gross as a late inning defensive replacement. I could see Hinske cost us a game with an "iffy" hit to right in the 9th.
Rays first baseman Carlos Pena has been hitting better the last few games, and his offensive average is starting to go upwards finally. Pena still had a strike out tonight and left two men in scoring position. Carlos is now hitting .212, which is alot better than the .200 with no RBI's and homers of a week ago.
He has been hitting the ball with power and has gotten better elevation on his hits. It is a matter of time until he connects again for the fences( maybe tomorrow's early game).
On the other side of the ball, Eric Hinske and Dioner Navarro were the only two Rays to not get a hit tonight both went a combined 0-7 tonight.
The Rays did get three doubles tonight one each from Aki, Evan Longoria, and B J Upton. Carl Crawford got his 25th RBI of the year, and Andy Sonnanstine also had a sacrifice.
The Rays also had another double play tonight going 4-6-3 in the bottom of the third inning. Andy Sonnanstine's omly run came on a homer by Cardinal Chris Duncan in the bottom of the 8th inning. Andy is tied for 5th in winning percentage this season (857) in the majors.
Tomorrow is an early contest, starting at 1:10 P.M. EST. The game will feature Matt Garza (2-1) versus Adam Wainwright (3-2).
Just want to give a shout out to a former Rays who had a "killer" day game today. The Texas Ranger's Josh Hamilton went 5-5, with 4 runs scored and 5 RBI's. That raises his MLB leading RBI total to an impressive 49 RBIs.
Hamilton had a triple and two homers in the game. His second homer was a two-run shot of the facade off the second deck of seats in rightfield.
Rays Are In First Place Dude !!!!!
Let me start by humbly Thanking the Rays for letting me enjoy my birthday,which is the 14th in a very regal style fitting for a true fan of a FIRST PLACE team.
I was sitting in my little seat behind the Bullpen area when Gabe Gross hit that shot into Rightcenter, I have never seen Jonny Gomes run so fast in my entire life. And his batting helmet is in orbit over the Trop right now. The mood was electric, and the Yankee fans were in total disbelief at the loss.
Thank you Stu Sternberg for building us this dream team. Thank you Joe Maddon for believing in your vision for the last two years.
And to the Rays players', you have undying respect, admiration, and total committment to my team( like there was any doubt about that here).
Enjoy tonight, I know I am a ball of fire inside and I can't wait for 5:30 tomorrow to do it all over again!!!!!
Trivia Fact of the Night:
11-consecutive Home victories, tops in the major so far this year. Houston and Minnesota each had 8 straight wins earlier in the season.
The Good,The Bad,and The Ugly
The Good
Sometimes it seems that you can do anything wrong on the field. Rays reliever J P Howell must be feeling pretty blessed right now. Howell has been on the winning end three time this season for his clutch pitching in the late innings. Howell tonight worked 2 innings tonight and his only blemish was a base on balls to Bobby Abreu in the top of the 11th inning. There is an old saying, "It is better to be lucky than good sometimes ." This Rays squad is both lucky…….and good.
Honorable Mention "Good guys":
*** Jonny Gomes came on as a pinch runner for Cliff Floyd after Cliff singled into rightcenter in the bottom of the 11th inning. Jonny then proceeded to steal second on Mariano Riveria and get into scoring position. Because a righty(Wang) was starting tonight, Gomes had the night off until the 11th inning. Jonny was already past thrid when Melky Cabrera was throwing the ball into catcher Jose Molina.
** Rays starter Edwin Jackson held the Yankees scoreless during his 7 innings of work tonight. Jackson allowed 5 hits and struck out 5 yankee batters before leaving the game. Jackson threw 111 pitches tonight.
* Gabe Gross is another guy who is sitting under a magical star right now. When he first got here from the Brewers', he was having a hard time adjusting at the plate. But in recent games, he has been getting better contact and more aggressive at the plate. Tonight he was a late inning defensive replacement and only got 2 at-bats. We all know that he made his second at-bat count in the "win" column.
The Bad
To be a closer in the MLB, you have to have a heart of stone sometimes, and a bit of an absent mind. Things happen that would destroy most people. But it is your job to secure a victory for your team.
Tonight is a night Troy Percival will hope to forget when he goes to sleep. His offspeed pitch to Hideki Matsui was wrapped around the righfield foul pole to tie the game at 1 in the bottom of the 9th innig tonight.
It was Percival's second blown save of the week.
Carlos Pena is looking like he is starting to try to hard to make something happen at the plate. He did not look relaxed or at ease at all in his at bats tonight.
Carlos has been hovering at the low 200's now since about April 14th, and has shown positive signs of coming back to his power stroke. But, tonight was not one of those night.
The Ugly
Rich Herrera is the Rays radio pre and post game announcer for the Rays. He has stressed that the Rays fans need to "act like we have been there before."
What he is referring to, is winning.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news here, but a small segment of our fans have been taunting and acting like peacocks the last few games. I know there have been years of hearing the same from Boston and New York fans alike, but a Southern man and woman should have more class than to pull their shorts down and tell a rival to kiss a big hairy wet spot on your &@.
Come on people, I am the first to be more than proud, but I also know we need to gain respect before we are treated with it in return. We have not been to the playoffs, like our rivals, we have not entertained a World Series event at the Trop.
We have to be humble and know that this roller coaster could come crashing down on us, or we could enjoy the ride and know that better things are in store for us in the future.
So, here is my plight, We, the fans of the Rays need to use self control and watch our mouths and antics. The world is watching us, and we can either be viewed as a "redneck franchise", or as a class of fans who know what sportsmanship is all about……………..the choice is yours……choose wisely.
In closing, to all Rays fans, enjoy tonight. We will have the same results and more first place standings in our future. Relish the night we started to turn our franchise and our town into winners the entire country could love too.
Crawford Send Angels Home with a Frown
Major League Baseball and the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation are team up for "Going to Bat Against Breast Cancer " Mother's Day promotion…. Players will use special pink bats produced by Louisville Slugger that will be auctioned off at a later date…… players will be wearing pink wristbands and a pink ribbon for Breast Cancer Awareness will adorn the uniforms of players and on-field personnel.
Trivia Fact of the Night:
In 1957, Warren Spahn became the first left-handed pitcher to win a Cy Young Award.
The Good,The Bad,and The Ugly
The Good
Carl Crawford gave all the Mothers in the Rays family a great gift by sending a Justin Speier's slider into the rightfield stands and secure a sweep, and another victory for the Rays 8-5 today. Crawford went 3-5 today with 2 runs scored, and 3 RBI's. His RBI total has risen to 23 for the year. Carl also stole 2 bases to raise his total to 12 for the season, which has him currently ranked 4th in the American League.
Honorable Mention "Good" guys:
*** Rightfielder Gabe Gross got another outfield assist when he gunned down Vlad Guerrero at home in the top of the 5th inning.
** The top three guys in the batting order today went 9-15. Aki Iwamura, Crawford and B J Upton all went 3-5 today and accounted for 7 runs and 5 RBI's. The top three are finally showing the promise we saw in them in the spring.
* Designated Hitter Cliff Floyd was re-instated to the roster yesterday and brought his pink bat with him today. Floyd went 2-4 with 2 RBIs,a dn is now hitting .368 for the year. With a power lefty now in Joe Maddon's stable, it creats another weapon on the bench for the Rays to use against the AL right-handers.
The Bad
Andy Sonnanstine has had an amazing season so far, but today's game will not be in his personal highlight reel. Andy pitched 6 inning and allowed 8 hits and 5 runs, while throwing 86 pitches. Andy did not adjust his pitches during the game and his off-speed pitches were a bit off today.
The only other "bad" that happened today was that Carl Crawford committed an error today that ended the Rays errorless streak, and gave a double to the Angels' gave up a pinch hit double to Kendry Morales in the top of the 9th inning. Morales ended up being stranded at thrid and caused no harm to the Rays lead.
The Ugly
First off, I feel bad for Angels reliever Justin Speier this weekend. The guy came in twice this weekend, and gave up a 2-run and a 3-run homer to secure the Rays a victory. Things get better, and plays happen, it was just our time.
This is actually going to be a "good" Ugly. The Rays have now swept three team at home this season. The Jays( in Orlando), the Boston Red Sox, and now the Angels have been swept by this team at the Trop. this season. Joe Maddon talked to the Maddon's Maniacs yesterday and commented that the Trop is beginning to become "the Pit".
Joe has a vision of this stadium being a place that other teams will hate to come play a game against the Rays. That the crowd noise will divert energy and confidience, and will show these teams that the Rays are on the rise and will have to be respected from now on………
Former Rays Player of the Night:
Tonight's Former Rays is a favorite of mine. It is Kansas City Royal Jose Guillen. Jose is currently limited to DH duties becuase of a hip flexor injury, but is contributing nightly for the Royals.
Today he went 2-4 with an RBI, and a run scored for the team. He is currently hitting only .207 for the season.

Dog & Bee brings a bit of Britain to Beeville
Dog & Bee Public House's owner hopes to 'set the standard.'
By Vicki Vaughan

The Dog & Bee, a British pub that's the first franchise operation of MadDogs on the River Walk, opened recently in Beeville. It's owned by Brenda Hughes, the wife of a local oilman, and managed by Terry Corless, who owns MadDogs. "We spared no expense" on the pub, Corless said. It has antiques from Great Britain.

The wood framed fireplace at the British pub, the Dog & Bee.
A mini population boom has brought a bit of San Antonio's River Walk to Beeville in the form of a British-style pub.
This month, the Dog & Bee Public House, a wood-paneled, antiques-stuffed restaurant and bar, threw open its doors to residents and newer folk who're drawn to the area as a result of drilling in the Eagle Ford shale.
The Dog & Bee is the first franchise of Mad Dogs British Pub, a fixture on San Antonio's River Walk for 16 years.
Mad Dogs' CEO Terry Corless said last year that Houston, Austin, Dallas and San Antonio were in his sights as favored spots for the first Mad Dogs franchises.
It didn't work out that way, but that's not a problem. Within a month of Mad Dogs British Pub Franchise LLC's getting the legal green light to offer franchises, San Antonio architect Lyndsay Thorn mentioned the franchise opportunity to his client, Brenda Hughes of Beeville, a city of almost 13,000 that's 90 miles southeast of San Antonio on U.S. 181.
Thorn thought a pub would be a good project for Hughes, for whom he is designing and building condominiums in downtown Beeville.
Hughes and her husband, Beeville oilman Dan Hughes, visited Mad Dogs on the River Walk. "We instantly fell in love with the concept," Brenda Hughes said in an email.
Brenda Hughes now is the owner of the Dog & Bee, while Corless' Mad Dogs inked a contract to design the pub and manage it.
In designing the pub, Corless worked with longtime friend Thorn, a partner at Thorn + Graves Architects in San Antonio. Both men are natives of Great Britain.
Hughes declined to say how much she's spent to build the Dog & Bee. "It was an extravagant indulgence, but worth every penny," she said via email. "Cost is secondary in the process of revitalizing the town that you love.
"The hope is that the Dog & Bee will set the standard," she said, and be a catalyst for new business investment to follow. "The town is at a very exciting time right now, and we are sure that the new pub will lead the way for others to follow suit."
Corless said no expense was spared in building the pub, although "the market is far from our ideal profile."
As for clientele, the pub is "learning towards the more affluent," Corless said, drawing people traveling to the coast or going from South Texas to San Antonio. "And we're getting a massive response from anybody related to the oil industry," he said. "They're coming in well-attired and clean-shaven. They're not coming straight from the oil fields."
The designers shipped a 40-foot-long container stuffed with $100,000 worth of British antiques for the pub, including Gothic church pews, antique fireplaces and a back bar that came from a building on London's exclusive Park Lane.
The Dog & Bee's in-town competition includes Chili's Grill & Bar, the Beeville Country Club "and a couple of independent restaurants," Corless said. "We deliberately priced ourselves very competitively," he said, with prices about 20 percent lower than on the River Walk.
Construction of the Dog & Bee presented some challenges, since it required renovating a shoebox-shaped building built in 1909. The pub's design was altered to include a second building, boosting the plan for a 2,400-square-foot pub to one of 5,000 square feet, Thorn said.
Corless said the initial investment for a Mad Dogs franchise would range from almost $602,000 to $1.4 million, depending on the size. That includes a franchise free of $40,000. Franchisees will pay a royalty fee of 6 percent of gross sales and will contribute to an advertising fund.
Joe Montez, executive director of the Bee Development Authority, said that 20 years ago, when he was Beeville's city manager, "we had a dying downtown." Almost three-fourths of the buildings were vacant. Now, 95 percent of downtown buildings are full.
"Millions have been invested in downtown," Montez said, including the addition of the Dog & Bee.
After a recent lunch at the Dog & Bee, Montez said the pub "is a beautiful building, with good food and atmosphere. It's a major plus, not only to downtown Beeville but the community is general."

The Power Plant - Contemporary Art Gallery - Harbourfront centre
The Power Plant is pleased to present a solo exhibition of work by French artist Jimmy Robert. Robert's practice typically explores the corporeal potential of a range of media including photography, drawing, film, video, sculpture, and performance. In his first Canadian solo exhibition, Robert addresses questions of limits: of his body, of the media he uses, of our understanding of exhibitions, and the various disciplines his work encompasses. At the centre of Draw the Line is a commissioned performance project that takes place within this installation of new and past work at The Power Plant.

I think that they miss a few pieces of history there on the site. In my opinion inside of the description of the devices, they should had included this: "Which the incompetence of bungling and buffoonery of HP CEO's, WebOS one of the best operating system were cancelled and now there's a little bit of memory of what HP had in their hands and with their stupidity they destroyed it".
With clicking on the link, it stirs so much emotion and anger mixed with a bit of hope that despite the silliness of HP(Autonomy and all)....that the WebOS team can move forward with the Open Source project with success with new hardware that runs on it.

I don't know, the site doesn't seem that impressive. They should've built something out of Enyo 2. When clicking on the the devices, it brings up a bigger, slower to load image, but with the text hanging off the sides. BTW, I noticed this yesterday, so if anyone want to merge my previous thread on it with this one, feel free to do so.

They state that the Veer has TTS capability which never arrived officially. :-(
Also if you click on the "Palm Veer" it becomes the "HP Veer" in the bigger picture... also the Palm Pre2 becomes HP.. didn't that device still have a Palm logo on it? Not sure, though... Otherwise: nice that they changed the site to state that webos isn't there anymore... before it never said anything about cancelled products and stuff. |

For HP to show any interest in evening maintaining the whole webOS open sourcing after this long is good to me. I didnt expect much from them, but its moving along and having some updates at least.
Now I anticipate Meg has a vision to make webOS come back on future devices and the board will fire her, then we'll get nothing and HP will go under even more. lol |

Like how they have the Palm PrePlus Powered by webOS 2.0, although Verizon, AT&T, etc... are stuck at webOS 1.4.5.x only O2 and SFR had webOS 2.1.0 (build 284/285)....
PixiPlus also says Powered by webOS 2.0, even though there is no public webOS Doctor beyond webOS 1.4.5.x, also states increase memory although it is the same as Pixi, the Plus was WiFi.... Oh and as mentioned all Phones are labeled Palm... Where HP Pre2, Veer, and Pre3 are corrected once highlighted... |

anyone noticed the incosistences with the pre3 exhibition mode? rounded corners, says clock rather than time, shows the alarm icon next to time (even though there isnt one in the notification tray?) the green calendar icon (i think its supposed to be blue?). also time and date say either 9th Feb 12pm (US calendar system, maybe the webos 2.0/3.0 device intro) or 2nd Sept 12pm (UK calendar system, maybe pre3 launch date).

Extremely likely they're just publicizing it to the medical community there. The mHeath summit isn't exactly someplace the tech press sends people to cover, and if it were being debuted to the public in any meaningful way, they'd do it at a venue guaranteed to have relevant press around.
