How to adjust a Brown and Sharpe 0-1" mic Hi, I am new to metalworking, and have 2 Brown and Sharpe 0-1" micrometers. how to adjust these micrometers? Thanks, Jon
One rotation per thimble equals .025. The hash marks of a micrometer are in 25/50/75 and the graduations (0-9) are ten thousands. If you was to measure a .250 drill shank it should read .2495 minimum. On the graduation the closet line determines the final measurement. In many circumstances you'll see almost 7 and not quite 8 on the graduations and read as 8(.0008). Round up because that cmm will make your tools seem like crap. A micrometer is not a c-clamp Edit: There small hole at the base of the stem. Grab the neasest adjustment wrench and prey feel is king. close the mic without clamping. adjust the stem according to you current pressure on zero. back off the stem then run it back to the fixed position to check again. Adjust accordingly. You won't mess it up. Its all relative but that doesn't mean half ass adjust it. Take your time and make sure it is zero and read 0.0 with 1" standard. Assuming you are using 1-2" mic. If you are using 0-1 mic you can drill rod, joe block because most 0-1 standards get lost. Most standards get lost anyways, find something that is consistent .0002-.0003 deviation. I'm sorry for my response because I misread your question.

Soundgarden - King Animal
This comes out next Tuesday but I found a torrent last night. I am digging the album. I know it will grow on me so I'm impressed that I'm already liking the album. Anyone heard it yet? I was a huge Soundgarden fan back in the day so having some new material is a real treat for me.
I have every Soundgarden album so I will definitely be buying the album next week when it comes out but I had to DL it so I could hear it first. Here is a link to a torrent if you want to check it out. http://kat.ph/soundgarden-king-anima...-t6798536.html |

Curatorial Projects
As part of its main activities PROJECT B conceptualizes and produces curatorial projects. Our specialty is vintage vernacular photography and ephemera. Our work is a culmination of over 20 years' experience in the fields of fine art, photography, folk art and material culture. We work with museums, galleries, archives, collectors, designers, publishers, commercial clients and individuals to create unique exhibitions, installations, publications and collections.

Vintage Photos and Objects for Collectors
In the 20th century, photography became a populist medium and many extraordinary photographs have humble or unknown origins. The best vernacular photographs exert a power to fascinate through composition, subject matter and mystery. PROJECT B searches the forgotten and overlooked in the belief that a great photograph transcends its origins. That's why our exceptional vintage photographs and objects have been acquired by museums, galleries and collectors worldwide.

#35093 : foreach nullifies index of an inexed array
Updated by: firstname.lastname@example.com Reported By: tony at marston-home dot demon dot co dot uk -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Arrays related Operating System: Windows XP PHP Version: 4.4.1 New Comment: Please do not submit the same bug more than once. An existing bug report already describes this very problem. Even if you feel that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely to be the same. Thank you for your interest in PHP. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-11-03 21:10:23] tony at marston-home dot demon dot co dot uk Description: ------------ When I use foreach($array as $key => $value) on an indexed array, afterwards the index value, when viewed with key($array) is null instead of an integer. This means that when my code tests the array to see if it is either indexed or associative it is given the wrong answer. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $array[] = 'string of data'; if (is_int(key($array))) { echo "array is indexed\n"; } else { echo "array is associativ\/n"; } // if foreach ($array as $key => $value) { if ($key === key($array)) { echo "they are the same\n"; } else { echo "they are NOT the same\n"; } // if } // foreach if (is_int(key($array))) { echo "array is indexed\n"; } else { echo "array is associative\n"; } // if ?> Expected result: ---------------- The output 'array is indexed' should be produced both before and after the foreach() statement. Actual result: -------------- The key of an indexed array, when viewed with key($array), is not being reported as an integer. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=35093&edit=1 |

Mancini: Incredible we lost
Sun, 21 Apr 2013 18:36:00
Roberto Mancini was at a loss to explain Manchester City's defeat after they went down 3-1 at Tottenham Hotspur.
Samir Nasri fired City into an early lead and Mancini felt his side continued to be superior for much of the game.
However, they could not add to their lead and were stunned by three quick-fire Spurs goals late in the second half as Clint Dempsey, Jermain Defoe and Gareth Bale struck.
Mancini told Sky Sports: "It is incredible that we lost this game because we had everything under control for 80 minutes.
"We had a lot of chances to score a second goal, but this is football.
"If you don't close the game it can happen like today."
City's loss means their defence of the Premier League title could come to an end on Monday, when Manchester United will be confirmed as champions if they beat Aston Villa.
Mancini was willing to acknowledge United's success, but insisted he had been resigned to City's fate for some time.
Asked if United deserved to win to win the title, Mancini said: "The championship was finished three or four weeks ago. They deserve to win this championship.
"They are not a better team but they deserve to win this title because we lost a lot of points in games we probably didn't deserve to lose.
"But United won a lot of games in a row with goals and deserve to win the title."

Barnes County Tournament bracket The Barnes County Girls Basketball Tournament starts Tuesday afternoon at W.E. Osmon Fieldhouse on the Valley City State University Campus. Valley City High School, which took 2nd place last year, is the top seed in the tournament and will play No. 8 Barnes County North in the tournament opener at 3 p.m. Maple Valley is the No. 2 seed in the tournament, and LaMoure/Litchville-Marion is No. 4. The Times-Record will provide scoring updates online throughout the tournament at Facebook.com/VCTimesRecord and Twitter.com/VCTimesRecord.
Full bracket
Because of low participation numbers, the Valley City High School boys basketball program will not field a junior varsity team for the 2013-2014 school year, Dan Larson, the activities director for Valley City Public Schools, announced. "If everyone stayed out that's currently playing in (grades) 9-11 and eighth grade, we'd have approximately 24 athletes," Larson told the VCPS school board during its regular meeting Monday.
There are plenty of advantages to a home game. Friendly crowd. Familiar surroundings. No sleeping in a hotel. But when the No. 17 Valley City State University mens basketball team started its season in November, one of the main goals the team had was to be undefeated at W.E. Osmon Fieldhouse, not necessarily for those reasons, but because it makes the team's postseason goals more attainable.
Weather Affects Area Sports The blizzard that hit Barnes County over the weekend caused schedule changes for several local sports teams. The Valley City High School wrestling team had its home dual Frisday against Red River High School postponed. No makeup date had been announced as of press time. The Valley City Parks and Recreation Youth Basketball tournaments that were scheduled for Saturday were cancelled. The Maple Valley boys basketball team's game at Richland Friday was postponed until Feb. 2.
The No. 12 Valley City State University women's basketball team had a weekend full of ups and downs. There were two wins, a close loss to an opponent the Vikings had beaten earlier in the year. VCSU senior Katie Ralston even hit a scoring milestone, surpassing the 1,000 point mark in her college career.
A winter storm passing through Barnes County has prompted several schedule changes for local athletics.
The Valley City State University basketball games Friday night against Northern New Mexico will be played as planned. The Saturday afternoon games with Johnson and Wales University are also scheduled to be played as planned.
The Valley City High School wrestling team's dual with Devils Lake, scheduled for Friday, has been postponed. A makeup date hasn't been announced.
WEST FARGO — There are a nights a team just finds its rhythm early and in Tuesday's 80-49 loss to West Fargo, the Valley City High School basketball team was on the wrong end of the scenario. On their home court, the Packers scored 15 points in the first four minutes, and never let up, shooting 62 percent from the 3-point line and finishing 10-12 from long distance in the first half.
WEST FARGO — For the first month of the season, the Valley City High School girls basketball team was tested in plenty of ways. Overtime. Large comebacks. But after a 68-47 loss Tuesday at West Fargo High School, the previously undefeated Hi-Liners faced their toughest challenge yet — the defending state runner-up. Though the Hi-Liner girls opened the game with a point-for-point run with the Packers, a lack of scoring late in the first half kept Valley City from winning their seventh straight to start the season.
As the clock wound down in the Valley City High School girls basketball team's 55-51 win over St. Mary's Saturday at the Hi-Liner Activity Center, junior Dierra Diegel consistently found herself in a high pressure situation. Not only was she playing the final five minutes of the second half with four fouls, but of the Hi-Liners' final eight free throws in the game, Diegel took six. "I knew those free throws were going to count, so I was thinking, 'I've got to make these. I've got to put them in, separate it, make it so they don't have any last second chance to win the game," Diegel said.
The Valley City State University mens basketball team has spent the entire season adapting to the injuries sustained by various team members. Friday, in the team's 78-67 win over NCAA Division III's University of Minnesota — Morris, the Vikings were short their tall post player Gus Kuebler, who isn't injured, but had the night off as the team readies for a key stretch of the season. With Kuebler out of the lineup, VCSU coach Jeff Kaminsky encouraged his guards to help grab rebounds, and more than anyone, senior John Raquel responded.

Renovation of irrigation channels
Ferozepur, July 19 Badal also called a meeting of the senior functionaries of the irrigation and other departments at Chandigarh to work out the strategy to arrange funds to the tune of Rs 33 crores for rehabilitation of various irrigation channels including distributaries and minors mostly running into the Malwa region of Punjab. Information gathered by the TNS revealed that Badal had to intervene into the matter after he was made aware of the fact that due to deposition of silt and presence of hyacinths, the water flow in almost all the channels had come down drastically and hence the same had not been reaching the villages situated at the tail-ends of these channels. He was also made aware of the fact by the irrigation department officials that such a situation had been triggering off agitations among the farmers and hardly any day passed when blocking of traffic, protest march and rally held by farmers was not reported from the Malwa region. At most of the places, the banks of water channels had been damaged due to choking of the flow of water by hyacinths. Amarjit Singh Dullet, chief engineer, irrigation, Punjab, when contacted, said the Deputy Chief Minister had also asked the Deputy Commissioners concerned to release funds to his department under the NREGA scheme so that cleanliness of irrigation channels could be done on a rotation basis. He said Rs 11 crores would be given by the Punjab government for the task connected with cleanliness of water channels. Besides, a sum of Rs 40 lakh would be given by the Deputy Commissioner, Muktsar and Rs 32 lakh by the Deputy Commissioner, Moga, under the NREGA scheme. The Ludhiana Deputy Commissioner had also promised that he would give the required money from the NREGA funds for this task. Dullet disclosed that channels, which would be rehabilitated with Rs 33 crores, likely to be sanctioned on July 21 at Chandigarh, included Teona, Raika, Abulkhurana, New Bodiwala, Karamgarh, Mehma Mada, Kotbhai, Jagga branch, Giana branch, |
Sukhbir, Harsimrats Surprise Visit
Bathinda, July 19 Civil Surgeon Dr Inder Dayal Goyal today held a meeting with doctors and issued instructions in the light of the points raised by Badals or the patients. To check whether doctors take regular rounds in wards, a Round attendance register has been introduced on Sunday evening in order to put a check on the doctors with regard to taking the round compulsory in the morning and evening etc. Till today afternoon, several doctors had marked their attendance in the register. To maintain cleanliness in the toilets in the wards and the hospital complex, the authorities have made checking of the toilets compulsory every hour. The corridors of the hospital wore a clean look today. However, when the Civil Surgeon was holding meeting with doctors this afternoon, some patients were seen waiting for the doctors to get themselves examined. The doctors had started gathering in the SMOs room from 1:40 pm. They examined the patients after the meeting ended around 2.25 pm. SMO Vinod Garg said doctors had been instructed to prescribe the generic name (salt) of a medicine in place of its brand name. He said he had also ordered for a complaint box to be installed near the Emergency wing. It would be fixed by tomorrow morning, he added. After the meeting, the Civil Surgeon said doctors had been told against prescribing expensive medicines. He said every doctor would also have the list of medicines available in the hospitals stock so that the same could be prescribed as per the requirement of patients. He said the SMO had been asked to take at least two rounds of the hospital daily to check the functioning and listen to the grievances of the patients. |
Tail-end villages sans canal water
Abohar, July 19 The farmers from different villages led by senior functionaries of the Bhartiya Kisan Union Ekta-Ugrahan, Jamhoori Kisan Sabha, Dehati Majdoor Sabha and Kisan Majdoor Talmel Committee marched to the divisional office of the irrigation department to discuss the issue with the senior officials. However, none of the officials was present in the office even when prior notice for the meeting had been given, a spokesman for the joint action committee said. They were to decide the course of agitation after the expected meeting. However, the situation forced them to sit on dharna and give a call for starting an indefinite agitation, he said. The agitators who shouted slogans against the government were also joined by a former legislator Parkash Singh Bhatti. He lambasted the state government for backtracking on its promises over solving the canal water irrigation problem of the region. The canals in the Abohar sub-division were being run by rotation and the farmers in the tail-end villages might be ruined again due to non-availability of water, he said. |
2 youths drowned in Gang canal
Fazilka, July 19 There bodies were recovered today. While giving details, in-charge of the Khui Khera police station, Beant Singh Bhatti said a marriage party from the local Ananadpur Mohalla went to village Bodiwala Pitha of this sub-division for solemnising marriage of a local youth Raj Kumar. Due to the intense heat, six youths went for a dip in the Gang canal nearby. After some time, four persons came out of the canal after taking bath. However, two of them, Kalu Ram (17), a resident of Sriganganagar and Parvesh Kumar (18), a resident of Bikaner (Rajasthan) did not come out of the canal. They were suspected to have drowned. Their family member launched a search operation. However, they could not find them anywhere. The family members went to different barrages of the canal where the bodies of those drowned usually get trapped. Their bodies were recovered from the Khakh head of the Gang canal near village Roop Nagar in the afternoon today. Police registered a case under section 174 (unnatural death). Meanwhile, about two dozen persons reportedly fell sick after taking meal in village Udham Singh Nagar alias Chack Mannewala on Sunday night. Senior Medical Officer Dr Baldev Raj said they suffered from vomiting due to hot humid weather. A team of doctors led by assistant civil surgeon DP Godara visited the village. |
Man beaten to death, assailants still at large
Ferozepur, July 19 Police sources said about eight accused, armed with sharp-edged weapons and iron rods, attacked Kaka Singh, when he reached the middle of the village along with his wife and son Hansa Singh. The accused hit Kaka Singh on his head, legs, arms and other parts of body. Though Kaka Singh was taken to the civil hospital, Ferozepur, he succumbed to his injuries within a few hours. Sources added that Niranjan Singh, a farmer of the same village, led the group, who attacked Kaka Singh. Niranjan Singh was angry with Kaka Singh as a few days ago, the son of Kaka Singh and Niranjan Singh had a wordy duel over the grazing of cattle. Gobinder Singh, SHO, police station, Sadar, said a case had been registered in this connection. Police teams had been despatched to nab the culprits. |
MP distributes grants
Bathinda, July 19 Addressing the gatherings, she asked people to pay special attention towards preservation of trees and oppose female foeticide in a big way. She said every person should plant a sapling so that the humanity could be saved from natural calamities. She further said people should also come forward to end the social evil of female foeticide. She said about Rs 2.50 crore had been released in a year for development works in Talwandi Sabo constituency. There would be no dearth in the release of funds for the development of this constituency in future also, she added. |
Rose oil producer faces hardship in selling his yield
Kalalwala (Talwandi Sabo), July 19 Rajinderpal said he has made many trips to Kannauj in Uttar Pradesh, the country's perfume capital, in a bid to sell his produce but was not getting the expected price as middlemen and exporters were not offering him the price prevalent in the market. He has produced about four litres of rose oil from his organic farm during the past two years through steam distillation and is holding the stock for want of remunerative price. Rose oil fetches a very high price in the international market because of its medicinal properties and it occupies the foremost place in the perfume industry. About two-and-a-half dozen roses are required to produce a single drop of rose oil, as a result of which its price is very high. Steam-distilled rose oil is particularly used for skin care and pharmaceuticals. Rajinderpal says that he started rose cultivation in 2002 for producing rose oil that initially fetched around Rs 2.90 lakh per litre. However, this time, the middlemen of Kannauj were offering him Rs 2.50 lakh. He regrets that the Punjab government has so far failed to create better market opportunities for rose oil producers. The Punjab Agriculture University (PAU) has also done nothing in this direction. He says that his hands were tied as he was not in a position to go elsewhere to sell his produce but in Kannauj that is to India what Grasse is to France in the matter of perfumes. Being a resident of a small village, he does not have contacts to dispose of his produce of rose oil in the right hands. |
Water woes irk Model Town residents
Bathinda, July 19 In a meeting held on Sunday, residents of the localities passed a resolution that a deputation would meet the Commissioner of the Bathinda Municipal Corporation to apprise him of the situation. If he failed to do the needful, then they would launch a stir. The residents alleged that the waterworks located in the Model Town was originally meant to cater to the needs of that locality only but with the passage of time, officials concerned connected the Power House road and Jujhar Singh Nagar also to it, which left the area high and dry. TNS |
Bathinda, July 19 Going through the complaint of one Jasmail Kaur of local Shant Nagar locality, the Forum observed that the metre in question was installed outside the premises of the consumer. So, she was not liable for any tampering. Rather, Powercom officials were bound to ensure its safety. In the judgment, the three-member Forum bench stated that the Powercom officials had alleged that the inspection team found the metre tampered with but did not mention the mode of theft after opening the metre. Meanwhile, the Powercom officials accused Paramveer Singh, son of the consumer in question, of misbehaving and detaining the checking squad. On the other hand, the complainant accused an executive engineer of the Powercom of harassing them intentionally, as her son runs a gas agency and had refused to entertain the official's unjustified demand. TNS |
Bathinda, July 19 While bestowing the honour on Dr Anand at a function held recently, Swami Surya Dev addressed him as a distinguished educationist and a moral philosopher, who had authored 11 books in English, six in Punjabi and two in Hindi. Anand has also contributed some soulful songs in Punjabi and Hindi, which had a substantial international audience. On the occasion, Anand thanked the Arya Samaj for the honour and reiterated his commitment to the ideals of the Samaj. TNS |
3 killed in mishap
Moga, July 19 Those who died include Davinder Singh (15), a resident of Dhurkot Charat Singh Wala village, Amar Kaur, a resident of Bughipura village and Naibdin, son of Suman Khan, a resident of Dala village of the Moga district. Ten persons have reportedly sustained injuries. The police registered a criminal case against Jagtar Singh, driver of the truck, under sections 304-A, 279, 337, 338 and 427 of the IPC at the Ajitwal police station and also arrested him. The district magistrate Satwant Singh Johal, SSP Sneh Deep Sharma and former education minister Jathedar Tota Singh visited the spot. The DM has assured free medical aid to the injured in the district hospital. |
Undertrials protest delay in legal proceedings, demand release
Bathinda, July 19 They were also asking about the implementation of Supreme Courts ruling in this regard. Observing that the strike was gaining momentum, the jail authorities disconnected the cable network of the televisions kept for jail inmates. Irked over this, seven undertrials today met the deputy jail superintendent with their demand, which he reportedly turned down. Taking preventive measures against representatives leading the inmates further, the jail authorities lodged them in a separate barrack. However, jail authorities told mediapersons that many of the protesting undertrials had called off the strike and started taking food by evening. TNS |

Storage device relocation
Since I now had two 2.5" storage devices, and nowhere to put them, I needed to find them a new home. I came across this Akasa SSD mount and after some quick measurements, I realized that it would fit perfectly under the PSU in my case. So, I cut a scrap piece of aluminum to create a mounting plate that I attached to the case cross-brace with rivets. Then I was able to use thumbscrews or regular screws to fix the mount in place from either side.
Video card accommodations
The second major hurdle was to squeeze the graphics card into an area that was not big enough. I started by cutting a hole in the front of the chassis using my jigsaw and dremel tool to allow the card to protrude through the front.
After installing the components for the first test-fitting, I realized something else was still making contact, and causing the front bezel to bulge.
A few minutes with the dremel fixed those problems and the bezel fit flush once again.
On to page 4 for PSU modifications… >>

Midgard, a low distortion Lateral FET output Headphone Amplifier
Simple design but with good performance
1.4mA through each LTP transistor, 10 mA through the VAS, Output biased at 150mA. Input and feedback has its own little ground island that goes back to star ground, rest of the board has a ground plane with the current sources as well as the supply caps and DC servo connected to this plane, it also acts as a shield. Simulated THD20 with +/- 15VDC supplies : THD20 at 1VRMS into a 32 Ohm load is 0.001169% rising to 0.011811% at 7VRMS THD20 at 1VRMS into a 250 Ohm load is 0.000955% rising to 0.007606% at 7VRMS THD20 at 1VRMS into a 600 Ohm load is 0.000929% rising to 0.007663% at 7VRMS Still need to do a little tweaking and adding a DC servo to the layout. Simple to build with no matching of transistors required and a relatively low component count. Last edited by Neutrality; 13th October 2012 at 01:11 PM. |

This is now my third headphone amplifier design.
What I have done with Midgard compared with Thor and Mjølner is a case of simplifying the build, with fewer parts and no matching of parts required. Thor was my first project and it had great performance into 32-600 Ohm loads but the need for matched input JFET's and the multistage topology made it unessecarily expensive and complicated to build. Mjølner was my second project, slightly worse performance than Thor and it was only really good for 150-600 Ohm loads, but I removed a few stages and it was therefore easier to build. However, it still used input JFET's that needed to be matched. Midgard, now this could be the best of the bunch. It does not have the same 100% symmertry as Thor and Mjølner but it is much simpler to build with no matching of parts required. Gone is the JFET's in the input, a few stages have been removed but it retains(improves really) the same performance as Thor into 32-600 Ohm loads. |

With a low gain of X2.5 simulation shows it capable to drive up to 5nF loads directly without stability issues. This SHOULD be good enough for majority of cables out there, however, if instabilty shows up there are 3 solutions :
1. Increase the Miller compensation cap. This gives a little higher THD as well as lower slewrate. Slewrate is directly proportional to size of the Miller cap. 2. Increase gain. Many amps do not like it the closer to unity gain they get, increasing gain improves stabilty into capacitive loads. 3. Add a 2uH//2R filter in series with the output signal. This isolates the output from any capacitive loads seen on the other side of the 2uH//2R filter. Personally, adding 2uH//2R at the output is my favourite since it does not affect THD or slewrate. This means you can have a low distortion, high slewing amp and still retain the ability to drive highly capacitive loads. It might not be an issue at all, but until I actually build the amp I won't really know. Last edited by Neutrality; 13th October 2012 at 04:24 PM. |

I am sorry to inform you of this, but this project is put on hold for the near future.
I just do not have the time and money to put into as many projects as I would like. Maybe I will go back and look at this project again sometime early next year. But for now, do not hold your breath waiting for it. |

I have resurrected this project but there has been a few changes, changes big enough to warrant a new thread.
Give me a few minutes. |

(Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images)Sunday was a banner day for some of last year's top rookies. In the Bronx, 2013 AL Rookie of the Year Wil Myers hit an inside-the-park home run to help the Rays down the Yankees. In Miami, 2013 NL Rookie of the Year Jose Fernandez whiffed 10 Dodgers in a game that ended with another of last year's rookie sensations, Yasiel Puig, crashing into the rightfield wall in a futile attempt to prevent a walkoff hit. In Denver, Nolan Arenado extended the season's longest hitting streak and made yet another stellar defensive play.Five weeks into the season, small-sample caveats apply across the board, so it's too early to declare of this year's sophs jinxed or not, but worth a quick look at how their follow-up seasons are progressing. The players are listed alphabetically (more or less).Matt Adams, Shelby Miller, Michael Wacha, Carlos Martinez, CardinalsAt 16-16, the Redbirds are off to an atypically sluggish start, one that owes far more to their struggling offense than their pitching and defense. Adams has been the team's second-most effective hitter after Yadier Molina, batting .339/.355/.492 for a 132 OPS+; that said, his 24/3 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 121 plate appearances is cause for concern. Likewise for Miller on the other side of the ball; he's struggled with his secondary arsenal to such an extent that he's walked 21 while striking out 26 in 34 1/3 innings. Throw in the seven homers he's allowed, and it's a miracle that his ERA (3.14) is only about half his FIP (6.19). Wacha, on the other hand, has been up to last year's standard, whiffing 10.6 per nine with a 2.55 ERA and 2.89 FIP through 42 1/3 innings. Martinez has been solid in high-leverage bullpen duty, particularly once you toss out his four intentional walks in 17 1/3 innings; his 3.12 ERA is in the vicinity of his 2.90 FIP, and he's stranded all eight baserunners that he's inherited.Chris Archer, RaysIn a rotation stung by the losses of Matt Moore and Alex Cobb, Archer's 4.84 ERA certainly looks like a disappointment, particularly coming off last Thursday's 4 2/3-inning, five-run performance against the Red Sox. That said, his problems owe more to a .330 batting average on balls in play than the stuff over which he has more control; though he walked five in that May 1 start, he had walked only five hitters in his previous 30 2/3 innings, and his FIP is a very respectable 2.85.Nolan Arenado, RockiesLast year, Arenado's defense (+30 Defensive Runs Saved) helped him snag the NL Gold Glove award. In addition to his continued excellence at the hot corner thus far, he's riding a season-high 24-game hitting streak and batting .311/.324/.492 overall. That said, he drew just one walk in his first 101 plate appearances and still has just four in 139 PA, producing a lower walk rate (2.9 percent) than even last year's lousy mark (4.4 percent); he'll have to do better than that once his bat cools off.Jose Fernandez, MarlinsThe 21-year-old Cuban righty — noted here last week for his fielding and hitting as well as his pitching — has staked out a spot in the NL Cy Young race thanks to a dominant performance, with a 1.74 ERA and an eye-opening 12.5 strikeouts per nine, both of which rank second in the NL. Sunday's outing was the first time he allowed an earned run since April 11 and only the second in which he allowed more than one; since being lit up for six runs in four innings by the Phillies on that date, he's yielded a mere six runs (two earned) in 30 innings with a 42/6 strikeout-to-walk ratio.Evan Gattis, BravesWith seven homers so far, Gattis is showing that the power that produced last year's 21 homers is no fluke. Neither are the holes in his game; he's hitting a lopsided .256/.281/.535 with just three walks and 23 strikeouts in 89 plate appearances, though his 117 OPS+ is still good for third on the team that's leading the NL East.Jedd Gyorko, PadresGyorko's 23 homers led all rookies last year, but so far he has just two this time around. That wouldn't be a problem if the rest of his offense was up to snuff, but so far, he's been dreadful, hitting just .162/.224/.248 with only two additional extra-base hits. How lost is he? Check your local milk carton. Even while Gyorko collected hits in seven of his last eight games, his OPS across that span is just .541.Juan Lagares, MetsLast year, Lagares turned heads with his defensive work (+30 DRS in only 116 games in the outfield) and stomachs with his offense (.242/.281/.352 with a 96/16 strikeout-to-unintentional-walk rate). While his glovework remains impressive, he's opened some eyes with a .338/.360/.507 showing at the plate, though that has far more to do with an unsustainable .442 BABIP than it does with improved strike zone judgement. Having recently missed 13 games due to a hamstring strain, he's on a smaller sample (75 PA) than most hitters here, but if he can maintain any of this year's gains, the Mets have themselves a real plus.Wil Myers, RaysAt the moment, the 23-year-old rightfielder's overall numbers (.248/.316/.397) aren't much to write home about. Sunday's home run was just Myers' fourth of the year, but it was his second in as many days; he went 6-for-16 with three extra-base hits this weekend against the Yankees, offering hope that he's clear of what had previously been an 8-for-44 slump in which he'd managed just a .493 OPS. To the extent that a 40 PA sample tells us anything, his struggles thus far have primarily been against lefties, as he's hit .189/.250/.324; prior to his homer and double off CC Sabathia on Sunday, he'd had just one extra-base hit against southpaws.Martin Perez, RangersAfter delivering 26 consecutive scoreless innings, including back-to-back three-hit shutouts, Perez came back to earth with a resounding thud. In his April 29 start against the A's — the second of his two shutout victims — he was tarred and feathered for eight runs in 4 2/3 innings. Still, amid the instability of the Rangers' rotation, his 2.95 ERA across 42 2/3 innings has been a godsend.Yasiel Puig, DodgersSo far this year, Puig's tardiness and the riveting back story of his defection — which only recently came to light — have overshadowed his play, which is saying something given his capacity for generating highlights on a daily basis at the plate, on the bases and in the field. Amid the Dodgers' suddenly crowded outfield, he's been the one player from among the quartet who has staked out a claim on everyday playing time, and he's been on fire lately, with 22 hits (seven for extra bases) in his last 14 games lifting his overall line to .309/.397/.500. Also worth noting: his unintentional walk rate is has jumped from 6.9 percent in 2013 to 9.4 percent this year, with his O-Swing rate (percentage of swings at balls outside the zone) has dropped from 39 percent to 29 percent.Hyun-Jin Ryu, DodgersWhile his overall 3.00 ERA exactly matches last year's mark, Ryu has run hot and cold, with four scoreless starts, two in which he's allowed six runs or more, and just one in between. Alas, after getting rocked for six runs in five innings by the Rockies last week, he hit the disabled list on Friday due to shoulder inflammation. At the moment, it's not believed to be a major issue, but stay tuned.Dan Straily, A'sAfter doing solid work to patch Oakland's rotation in 2012 and 2013, Straily isn't really pulling his weight thus far; he's allowed seven homers in 32 1/3 innings en route to a 5.01 ERA, and while his three quality starts out of six match those of Perez, he has just one in his last five turns.Julio Teheran, BravesBecause he wasn't as flashy as Fernandez or Puig, Teheran's strong work last year (185 2/3 innings with a 3.20 ERA and 8.2 strikeouts per nine) got short shrift, as he placed just fifth in the NL Rookie of the Year balloting. He's off to arguably the best sophomore performance of the bunch, with a 1.80 ERA through 50 innings including a three-start stretch in which he bested Cliff Lee and Johnny Cueto in 1-0 duels while allowing just one run and 11 hits in 24 innings. That said, his 3.97 FIP and underlying peripherals (5.9 strikeouts per nine, esppecialy) have been unremarkable. Promoted Stories Comments

Tree Rollins to Represent Clemson at ACC Tournament |
Clemson Athletic Communications - Wednesday, January 29, 2014 11:59 AM |
#tbt Former #Clemson All-American Tree Rollins was selected as @ClemsonMBB's "Legend" representative for ACC Tourney: pic.twitter.com/dvY91w4vwm
— Clemson Athletics (@ClemsonTigers) January 30, 2014
CLEMSON, SC — Former All-American Tree Rollins will be Clemson's legend representative at the 2014 ACC Tournament. Rollins was a second-team All-American as a senior in 1976-77 and was named one of the league's top 50 players in conjunction with the ACC's 50-year anniversary in 2002.
Rollins was a dominating big man at center and is one of the great rebounders and shot-blockers in ACC history. He started 110 consecutive games for the Tigers from 1973-77 and never missed a start in four years with the program. The native of Cordele, GA helped lead the Tigers to a 71-39 record (.645) during his career. Rollins twice led the ACC in rebounding (1975, 1977) and led the conference in shot blocking in 1977, the first year the league kept the statistic. He still ranks fifth in the ACC in career rebounding with 1,311 boards and an 11.9 per-game average.
He finished his career as the ACC's career leader in blocked shots and still ranks third in league history with 450. He is still first in blocks per game, averaging 4.1 per contest. Three different times, he blocked 10 shots in a game. He is one of only five players in ACC history to record more than one triple-double, twice accomplishing the feat.
Rollins was a three-time second-team All-ACC selection and was the 14th overall selection of the 1977 NBA Draft. He played 18 seasons in the NBA, the first 11 with Atlanta. He also played for Cleveland, Detroit, Houston and Orlando. He is one of only three ACC players to have played as many as 18 seasons in the NBA, along with UNC's Jerry Stackhouse and Duke's Grant Hill.
Rollins was named to the 1984 NBA All-Defensive first team and to the 1983 second team. He finished his pro career ranked fourth on the NBA career list for blocked shots and is still ninth with 2,542 career blocks. Since retirement, he has served as an assistant coach for the Orlando Magic, a head coach in the National Basketball Development League, an assistant coach and head coach in the WNBA for the Washington Mystics and an assistant coach for the Chicago Sky.
The 2014 class will be honored at this year's ACC Tournament in Greensboro at the annual ACC Basketball Legends Brunch, which will be held on Saturday, March 15, beginning at 10 a.m. in the Guilford Ballroom of the Sheraton Four Seasons Hotel. The event will include a short autograph session with the legends at the conclusion of the brunch. Tickets for the ACC Men's Basketball Legends Brunch are priced at $35 each, and tables of 10 are available for $350 each. Information on purchasing tickets may be obtained at the official ACC website — http://theacc.co/MBB14legendstix.

Hi, first post! I just took delivery of my HTC Hero (T-Mobile G2 Touch) and its got so many toys, its unbelievable! However, after the initial honeymoon period, I decided it might be an idea to set the phone up for use as a phone. This is where the Hero is sadly lacking - I gave up on Nokia years ago because you needed to download apps to make the apps work, and it seems that HTC have taken on a few ex-Nokia employees as their design team. My main criticism is the exclusion of the most basic function of being able to set a custom sms tone. I'm not one of those that subscribe to the idea that connecting your phone to a pc and sifting through loads of files and folders called 'dit' 'dat' 'dot' 'com' and 'bollox' is any fun at all, and am a firm believer that ALL of these functions should be able to be accessed from the phone itself. Sure, a usb connection is useful, but should NOT be a neccesity. With all that in mind, I found the following to be essential in turning a HTC Hero back into a phone - 1) A file manager. I'm using Android Manager and Astro at the moment until I get around to finding the best one. 2) A collection of wallpapers, for which I find 3D Wallpaper and CG Wallpaper particularly useful 3) Mabillo Ringtones has a super collection of SMS alert tones 4) My best find - Grooveshark. This is a full music streaming subscription service and unlike Spotify (at
Hey, and welcome. Check out the thread in my sig, it may help and provide some more useful apps Having the ability to download apps to add functionality to your phone shouldn't be a bad thing. I think that if doing this is troublesome for someone then they are probably better of not using a smart phone!
Yeah, right... thanks Mr Happy. Oh, and while I'm at it - does anyone know where that digital clock widget is thats on all the promotional pictures? The only ones I can find in Android Market are nothing like it. TIA x
Hey, thanks for the app page! The ABILITY to download apps is fine, no problem at all. The NECESSITY to download apps is another thing entirely.
I disagree slightly. Everyone uses their phone differently. Adding native apps for everyone would be a bad idea, the phone would be a massive bulk! The phone is designed with the market and apps in mind, they are integral to this type of smartphone. The fact that it is necessary to download apps to make the phone how you want it is a fantastic thing, not just with android but all smartphones that have this featured.
Yes, but the fact remains that it is a necessity on the Hero to download a file manager and some means in which you can allocate custom SMS tones. These kinds of bog-standard features should come already packaged. The option is then there to enhance and compliment them with any new and better apps that may come along. Look, I'm not knocking the phone or available apps, but HTC would seem to have a lot to learn yet about something being ready to go out of the box. And I havent even touched on the lack of image transfer via bluetooth yet!
The bluetooth is a problem with android 1.5. Google didn't release it with this capability, but when we get 2.1 it will be there!!

Settlement in Federal Immigrant Jail Suit
Most Angelenos never see the Brezhnevian Federal Building on Los Angeles Street. Fewer still have had a reason to brave the long security line to get inside, much less to visit its underground detention center. The latter's six holding pens, known, in affectionate governmentspeak as "B-18," are where suspected illegal immigrants are held before and after their hearings before upstairs magistrates. The spartan detention area would be challenging enough for a few detainees who were being kept for brief periods -- conditions for which the center was designed; for the packed crowds who have been routinely held for long periods (sometimes for 20 hours), it is a Dantesque hell.
Last April the American Civil Liberties Union and the National Immigration Law Center sued those responsible for B-18's operation -- Janet Napolitano, head of the Department of Homeland Security, Attorney General Eric Holder and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Today, reports the Associated Press, the two sides settled on a plan to clean up B-18.
"The federal court agreement," AP says, "restricts detainees at the facility to 12
hours at a stretch except under unusual circumstances such as epidemics
or natural disasters. It requires that they be provided with soap,
access to attorneys and writing materials for those who need to prepare
legal documents."
Although many of B-18's more outrageous features were reportedly
addressed after the lawsuit was first filed, today the ACLU released a
statement charging that "Immigrants were crowded into cells, sometimes
waiting for hours without room to sit down. Some had not been able to
shower, brush their teeth, or change their clothes in weeks. Women
asking for sanitary napkins were often ignored, and often forced to
sleep on the floor for several days in a row."

This watch is awesome!
Well after it took about a month to get to my house from Hong Kong, I finally received this watch. The shipping was as expected. No box, just rapped up in a lot of bubble wrap. Which was perfectly fine with me. I prefer sort of a 'living on the edge life-style' and this watch fits the style that I'm looking for. Looks very good and the quality was much higher than it my appear on this site. I think I may order more from this site!
Cool Digital Watch
I should say that I love this watch very much. Its shape is very cool, and it is very easy to see the exact time. I bought the black one and my friend said that the color is beautiful and very proper for me. The soft silicon band is very comfortable to wear.
A unique conversation piece
Cool item…I accidently purchased the ladies'…but they agreed to replace it with a new men's version, of course no extra cost, which is very nice. The LEDs are bright and easy to see. When wearing it in the night, I felt like a cool guy with a cool watch. Got ready to pick up pretties XD.

Logano will be going for his sixth win in the Nationwide Series this year (which is one step below the main NASCAR Sprint series) during the Ford 300 race event. The race itself is being broadcast on ESPN2 at 4:30 pm Saturday. Too bad there's not a Left 4 Dead 2 race car to go against it.

Another repost here from one of the funniest blogs I read:
AIG, Che Team Up To Bring Down Global Capitalism Once and For All
Say, who's this douchely dressed fellow? Why it's Gerry Pasciucco, the former vice chairman of Morgan Stanley and current head of AIG's Financial Products unit! Apparently our entire financial system has all been an elaborate ruse, set up by… the Masons, maybe?…to undermine our faith in Capitalism forever, hoo-ray! It took many decades, but the modern US citizen is finally clamoring for bank nationalization, and state control over the means of production is so now.
Well played, comrade Wall Street, well played.

Thursday's episode of iMPACT! Wrestling did a 0.98 (1.0) cable rating, with 1.32 million viewers..... OUCH...OOOCH..UGGGHHH !!!! and all the other B.S. that doesn't get said in the headlines on this site when TNA posts garbage ratings
Pretty much the rating they average on weekly basis.
They average 1.3 to 1.5 million ppll a week it is down some this week just like many other shows
I see you are a "fresh member" so all I can say is, "keep coming back" long enough and your need to "right the injustices of TNA favoritism" on this site will slowly dwindle away. Pretty soon, you'll even be considered tolerable, and if iMPACT scores below a 0.95, you might even turn into a real boy!
They've been scoring in this range for awhile now. I've actually been watching more TNA lately after not really watching for a year or so. It's still not great of a product. The Aces and Eights storyline was interesting and now it just seems like it's dragging to me. The one thing I do like is the Gutcheck segments, fairly unique and entertaining.
Oh right, same as usual then. What's the point?
His point - "TNA sucks! They'll never be competition for WWE! They just use WWE has beens or never was guys! This website hates the WWE and Ryan Clark is trying to brain wash people to hate WWE! Dixie Carter is a hermaphrodite who doesn't know what she is doing and her daddy keeps pumping money into TNA because she is a spoiled brat who hasn't worked a day in her life! TNA would be SO much better if he ran it because he would fire Hogan and Bischoff, Have Samoa Joe be the WHC for 3600+ days and take it on the road, dammit! Sting is ruining his legacy by staying in TNA as it fails! He should be smart enough to accept the WWEs offer, make hundreds of millions of dollars, and face the Undertaker at WM 30!"
I think that's where he was going with it.
TNA: At the highest was getting in the range of 1.1-1.2, now getting right at 1.0
WWE: At the highest (in the past year or two, excluding the WUNDERFULL ATITOOOD ERRRRA) was getting in the 3.4-3.5, now getting 2.5-2.7.
Move it along fanboy, there's nothing to see here.:rolleyes::rolleyes:
Being average just hurts so bad!
The NFL just kills wrestling ratings-wise.
Yeah every wrestling show is scoring low ratings lately!
