Pica by a point
The first day of the 2011 UK 18 Foot Skiff National Championship was a windy and wild adventure. Sailing off the beach at Sandbanks, Parkstone Yacht Club and the Watersports Academy teamed up to provide a superb both shore based and on the water race area for the premier event of the UK 18ft Skiff Circuit.
The eight skiff teams assembled on the beach including two new teams competing in their first 18 regatta. 18s are not the usual beach toys to be found on Sandbanks and despite the cool and breezy start to the bank holiday weekend spectator interest was quickly growing on the shore.
Race 1
A pin-favoured line saw boats racing off to the left hand side of the course. Newcomers KKT Racing, sailing Gill Wet & Wild, were the one boat to split and go right and came back strong, only missing out on the lead after a poor tack at the weather mark. They had been sailing in the bay the week prior to this event and were chomping at the bit to see how close they were to the pace of the top teams. However it was Pica, fresh from great results on the European Grandprix, that took the lead followed by the bristling new boys on the block Team Carsington, with Investec and KKT in hot pursuit as the skiffs charged down the kite leg in the fresh northwesterly.
Up the second beat, Pica found the groove and romped off to an unassailable lead while a tight battle was underway for second between Investec, KKT and Team Carsington. A drop of the mainsheet and windward dunking saw KKT slip out of contention leaving Investec and Carsington to battle for second testing big vs little rig choice. On the line it was Investec who pulled through with the big rig, but only just leaving Carsington in third and KKT in fourth.
A decent result in those condition is an impressive start for Carsington Team who were clearly enjoying their first official 18ft race. When asked what they thought, a grinning Richard Allen shouted, "That was awesome!" before returning to the pressing matter of keeping things upright.
Race 2
Hyde Sails having gone hard right to the shore up the beat arrived at the first mark with Pica and Investec who opted for the middle. The pressure was on for these team to prove their credentials with an improving fleet. Swapping the lead and pushing hard on this first lap both crews were fully exposed by their choice of the larger number 1 rigs in the building breeze. The flat water delivered by the north westerly wasn't enough to prevent big rig choices and 20 knots at the top mark caused full pitch poles resulting in a Le Mans-style format as both Investec and Pica raced to get their boats upright. This opened the door for Carsington which had been hot on their heels the whole race. They cruised past the swimmers hoisting their kite and tearing off into the distance never to be caught. A surprise win for the new team Carsington, Pica in second and Hyde Sails pulling though to third.
A good day on the water with fantastic conditions and a great dinner at Parkstone Yacht Club has set the fleet up for a further two days of sailing from Sandbanks in Poole Bay. Please drop by if you are in the area.
Jamie Mears from overnight leaders Pica commented: "This is the first time we have sailed off the beach in Poole. Fantastic venue. Great to see so many new teams here. The rest of the championship will certainly be challenging...and we are looking forward to some more spectacular sailing".
Racing continues Sunday and Monday off the beach in front of the Watersports Academy in Poole. With racing for the rest of the weekend close to shore, plenty of opportunity to see all the thrills and spills. Stay tuned.

Researching Flower Color Shows Evolution In Action
Scientists at UC Santa Barbara have zeroed in on the genes responsible for changing flower color, an area of research that began with Gregor Mendel's studies of the garden pea in the 1850′s.
In an article published recently in the Proceedings of the National Academies of Sciences, two researchers document their studies of the evolution of columbine flowers in North America. They studied red columbines pollinated by hummingbirds, and white or yellow columbines pollinated by hawkmoths. They believe that a color shift from red to white or yellow has happened five times in North America.
"What is important in this research is that hawkmoths mostly visit """" and pollinate """" white or pale flowers," said senior author Scott A. Hodges, professor of ecology, evolution and marine biology at UCSB. "We have shown experimentally that hawkmoths prefer these paler colors."
When a plant population shifts from being predominantly hummingbird-pollinated where flowers are red, to hawkmoth-pollinated, natural selection works to change the flower color to white or yellow, he explained.
"Ultimately we want to know if evolution can be predictable," said Hodges. "In other words, we want to know if each time there is an evolutionary change in flower color, does it happen in the same way? Having identified all the genes that are intimately involved with making red and blue columbines now allows us to determine how these evolutionary transitions have occurred.
In earlier research, Hodges showed that flowers evolve in a predictable fashion to match the mouthparts of pollinating birds and insects. Thus the pollinators of the yellow columbine flower, A. longissima, are predicted to have exceptionally long tongues to reach the nectar at the bottom.

Blazers fans discuss what conclusions they have drawn from the first seven games of the season:
I have not seen bad play. I have seen rookie play and bad decisions. I have seen inspired play. I have seen hard work just to be in the games. I have seen some rotation experimentation. Rotations that work and some that have been awful. I have seen some victories that i didn't think we would get. I have seen losses that I didn't think would happen. All marks of a re-build and new direction for a team. We went through the same thing before the injuries. The re-build was tough.daddyjmbo:
We are two guys away from being really competitive and still being able to develop [Damian] Lillard and [Meyers] Leonard, and maybe [Joel] Freeland -- we need a better backup point guard like [Coby] Karl and one scorer to take the pressure off what is a really a surprisingly good starting five.lsjogren:
Win-loss record is not the important thing this year. It's all about player development. If they have several young players who are far better at the end of the season than they were at the beginning, that's a successful season. So far I'd say we have seen some good, and some bad, but it is way too early to reach any conclusions.emygorf:
On the positives, [Nicolas] Batum is breaking out. Lillard is playing solid. [LaMarcus] Aldridge has turned into an incredible passer [and I'm] loving me some J.J. Hickson. This team is competitive in every game. We simply need a couple of other players to mature, and I am willing to take the lumps to make sure our rookies get their playing time early in the season so we can evaluate them.freeblzr:
The only person who deserves the finger pointed at is Neil Olshey. Sure, he did marvelous on draft day, but this team desperately needs a sixth man and trades/free agency are part of his job too. I honestly feel that a consistent sixth man alone could turn this team into winners overnight without waiting two years for everyone to be developed.What do you make of the Blazers start to the season? Join the conversation and post your comments below.

The author of the popular South Beach Diet, Arthur Agatson, endorsed functional exercise targeted at building a strong core (like Pilates and StrongPosture exercises). In a recentMSNreport (http://health.msn.com/fitness/articlepage.aspx?cp-documentid=100194940>1= Dr. Agatson advises replacing machine workouts with whole body exercises which engage a fuller kinetic chain, and recommends that "if you take just one gym class a week, make it Pilates". We agree to the point of using the same words in advising against working what we both call ""mirror" muscles—ones that look good in the mirror or on the beach." The problem lies in that by isolating one muscle other links in the kinetic chain are supported by the machine and so a muscle imbalance is generated. It's fun seeing ideas once thought of as radical entering mainstream. |

It was truly an honor to share the screen with Mr. Larry Hagman. With piercing wit and undeniable charm he brought to life one of the most legendary television characters of all time. But to know the man, however briefly, was to know a passion and dedication for life and acting that was profoundly inspirational.

Veendam Cruise Review by lskywalk: Beautiful Bermuda on the Veendam

Beautiful Bermuda on the Veendam
I would first like to thank fellow members for their outstanding reviews; I rely on your reviews when selecting a cruise and activities. My wife and I arrived about 11:30 at the MCT, parked our car and entered the cruise terminal buiding.
I was very impressed with check-in, less than 20 minutes until we boarded. We also were able to check out our stateroom immeditly, nice touch.
We have sailed about 14 cruises, this was our first HAL cruise. The Veendam was in great shape. From our stateroom to public areas she was spotless and beautiful. I like the touch of having fresh flower arrangements on the dining tables and around the ship.
Our stateroom attendants couldn't have been any better, by far the best towel animal creations:) We had no problems with the AC in our cabin or any garbage smell, we stayed on deck four. The food was excellent in the main dinning room, we dined one evening in the Canaletto restaurant, good food and service for no extra charge. We More
unfortunately didn't make reservations in time for the Pinnacle Grill Restaurant, my advice is to book early.
As mentioned in other posts the Veedam docks on Front Street in Hamilton, you are in the heart of a beautiful city and closer to more activities/shopping.
The ship's crew was very friendly and helpful, I liked that overhead announcements were kept to a minimum.
The only area I thought was lagging was the entertainment, the ship relies on smaller Broadway type shows for the most part, we are just more Vegas type show fans. The comedian/magician was enjoyable, I wish they had more of that type of entertainment. Also keep in mind this is not a party ship, after 11pm the ship was fairly quiet if you like to kick up your heels to the early morning hours.
We mostly did activities on our own, we did book the railway bike tour with HAL, I would recommend it to others, the tour staff was excellent and we had a terrific time with them.
Overall HAL and the Veendam is an excellent choice for your next cruise, we will not hesitate to sail with them to our next cruise getaway! Less

Otherways Nikon 60mm macro is perfect but it is $400-500
If you like to cover the shipping /round trip /I can send you one 40mm to try .LMK

How did I miss that guy? I think I was fixated on this one.
But I think I'll have to get the 40mm next month, at that price I have no excuse not to. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
^ lol but so true.
- Steve "...that one guy who's always afk"
The flight for Mar. 15 is full, our shipment is being pushed back to Mar. 19. Always some kind of problem dealing with the oversea suppliers.
Some of the Alisa Shrimp are blue-ish. Cute.
Some of the Six Band survivors look neat. Super swirly patterns instead of a frosted six band pattern. Might be a male female thing, don't know. Or might be a whole different variety of shrimp; I saw two more hiding under this stick while everyone else was having dinner.
Whew! Just in time! I was about to send off an emergency email to AlphaProBreeders to express me a bag of Salty Shrimp.
This was only a fourth of the packing. It was a plastic explosion after I unwrapped it.
I don't know if this was just some warning on the plastic they used for packing or if it's a warning to me. Anyone read German? I will google it later.
Here's what really intrigues me. At the bottom of the box there was a single latex glove and an opened bag with a few water droplets in it. What could it have been?!?!? Or do I not want to know?
Got this one came in today pH 8.5 salty mix, just in time for the shrimp arrival.
I have the sulawesi 7.5 as well. Going to start with that and then see if I can slowly transition to tap in another small tank. Btw, my tank that I set up a week ago smells....like ditch water. only have lava rock, gravel, holey rock and some IAL in there. Should I chance it or ditch the entire tank and set up another one and pray it'll be ok by monday?
You are...
what you do...
when it counts.

Does it have the SS 7.5 in it? Hope it's not what what is making it stink. Haven't mixed up my water yet.
added it in a week ago and changed the water today. I think its stuff on the rocks that I put in the tank and not the SS 7.5. I just took out the rocks, scrubbed them down again and will do another 90-100% water change tomorrow. Hope it works.
You are...
what you do...

The Masao
what is the Holey Rock? If it's the pock marked stuff from the meets that stuff needs to be scrubbed really good and soaked and cleaned again. It comes straight off a beach or something like that (you'd have to get Pepperonihead to talk) so it's covered with LA filth, lol.
. Sulawesi shrimp and LA filth should not be in the same sentence. Might want to get a clear storage container, a bottle of Stability, SS water, a little aragonite and some new leaves. Then pour some of the bag in the ca ca tank and some in the storage bin as backup.
Got the rock from some lfs. Scrubbed it, soaked it in bleach solution, then scrubbed it again then soaked it in dechlorinator. I still think there was some plant matter/moss or lichen in some those holes. Should have power washed it but didn't have a pressure washer.
Lets hope that this third cleaning had done the trick as well as doing a total drain and refill of the tank. :

The Red Wattle hog is both delicious and close to extinction, the perfect combination for Slow Food's Ark of Taste.
The pig probably was brought to this continent from Australia in the 1700s. It fell from favor as settlers moved west, and it was left to roam the hills of eastern Texas, where it was hunted to near extinction. Small-scale growers, such as Pork and Plant Farm in Altura, MN, are now raising the hogs commercially. The breed is distinguished by its overall reddish color and the two protrusions, or wattles, extending from the chin.
The Foundation for Biodiversity, a Slow Food International project, recognizes endangered foods by giving them Ark of Taste designation. There are more than 200 such foods (plants, prepared foods, animals) in the United States. All are associated with a specific geographical area and are grown using sustainable methods.
Lucia Watson of Lucia's Restaurant in Minneapolis chose the Red Wattle hog for "its taste and uniqueness" for her course at the Big River Slow Food dinner. The restaurant's chefs, Ryan Lund and Ryan Stechschulte, will use the entire pig in a choucroute royale, their version of the classic Alsatian dish. They plan to serve pork sausage with parsley and Sartori parmesan, herbed porchetta (pork lion layered with pork belly and rolled in herbs), cider-braised pork shoulder and possibly house-cured molasses-and-rum ham, all atop a house-made black-currant sauerkraut. The choucroute will be paired with a sauce gribiche and a platter of roasted local vegetables.
The event is a benefit for Minnesota Food Association's incubator farm that trains immigrants to be organic farmers in the Upper Midwest, and for Slow Food programs. It will be held at Big River Farms in Marine on St. Croix, MN. It includes a multi-course dinner with wine pairings as well as tours of the farm and a discussion with farmers in MFA's program.
Pork and Plants Heritage Farm raises Red Wattle hogs for their hardiness and "phenomenal flavor," according to Eric Kreidermacher, the farm's second-generation owner. "The farm always had hogs," he said. In the 1960s his parents raised piglets to sell to other farmers, but with the growth of corporate farms, they found they did not have enough land to compete and looked for alternatives.
Meanwhile, Eric's mother, Joyce, began raising vegetables for the family. As neighbors showed interest, she increased production and sold her produce more widely. About 7 years ago, Eric did a Web search for a special hog to raise, and he discovered the Red Wattle. Now, in addition to organic vegetables and Red Wattle hogs, the farm raises free-range chickens, ducks, turkeys and Devon cattle.

July 15, 2012. Terra Madre is Slow Food's gathering of the sustainable food world. It will take place in Turin, Italy from October 25 – 29. The conference is a place where delegates can grow, learn and come to an understanding of their role in the food system. The Italian government makes a substantial contribution to Terra Madre, and this year's event will be much smaller than usual due to the European debt crisis.
Also because of the debt crisis, anyone can attend the conference by purchasing a ticket. Current members should have received a message from our national office with a link to a page where they can buy discounted tickets to Terra Madre and the Salone del Gusto, the huge sustainable food expo next door.
Audrey Arner and I represented our chapter on the regional delegate selection committee. We found the accomplishments of the applicants to be humbling. We had 51 applicants for just 5 delegate slots for the states of MN, WI, MI, ND and SD, and the decisions were painful to make. Two candidates from our state were chosen. They are Jenny Breen, the food activist, chef and cookbook author and Vince Xiong, a farmer with the Minnesota Food Association, one of our organizational allies. Vince is working to help Hmong farmers succeed in the organic realm.
The Slow Food International Congress is concurrent with Terra Madre. Its purpose is to approve new bylaws and to envision the future of the organization. Congress delegates are food activists, most of whom are Slow Food leaders, but a few of whom are food movement leaders outside of Slow Food. Julie Seiber, the healthy eating coordinator for Ramsey County, was chosen from our state in this category. She is one of the original board members of our chapter.
Jenny, Vince and Julie were selected by our standards committee to receive grants to cover their airfare and will have their accommodations in Italy covered by Slow Food International. They have made a commitment to participate in a substantial way in our events and work, and we will be hearing more from them.
I was chosen as an International Congress delegate by Slow Food USA. I'm filling one of 9 slots allocated to members of regional selection committees. (For the record, members of our chapter board, including me, are ineligible to receive SFMN travel grants.)
In December, we will hold our usual Tales of Terra Madre presentation and you will have an opportunity to hear from all of us and to enjoy some related food. (by Jane Rosemarin)
The application process for delegates to Terra Madre 2012 has begun. Our board and standards committee encourage you to learn more and apply. Terra Madre is Slow Food International's gathering of the sustainable food world. This year's event will take place on October 24 - 29 in Turin, Italy. The deadline for applying is April 6.
There will be 2,000 delegates worldwide. A subset of the delegates will be selected to attend Slow Food's International Congress, a policy and governance meeting that will take place the last three days of the conference. The U.S. delegation will represent a great diversity of people involved in all aspects of good, clean, fair food. Slow Food International covers delegates' housing, meals and airport transfers in Italy. As usual, our chapter expects to underwrite the airfare of several Minnesota delegates. Delegates may apply for a grant from our chapter once they are selected.
Although the number of 2012 delegates will be half that of the preceding conference, for the first time any Slow Food member can buy a ticket and attend the conference and Salone del Gusto. Tickets will cost $20.
Terra Madre and the selection process are difficult to explain briefly, so I am including several links below. But to start, here is a description of the event from the Slow Food USA Web site: Every two years, Slow Food and Terra Madre communities from around the world come together to share their innovative solutions and time-honored traditions for feeding the planet in a good, clean, and fair way. Delegates from over 130 countries are selected by Slow Food associations to represent the important work being done in various regions of the world. Held concurrently with the Terra Madre conference, Salone del Gusto is the worldŐs largest artisanal food marketplace. It is an important opportunity for many small-scale sustainable producers from the Slow Food and Terra Madre networks to showcase their products and practices. Together, Terra Madre and Salone del Gusto is a unique forum about the future of food and farming.

Audrey Arner and Richard Handeen are longtime, active members of our chapter. On Monday, their daughter's farm was damaged in a fire, and contributions and help are needed. The farm's Web site is: easybeanfarm.com >>
Here is some information from Atina Diffley: The CSA farm of Mike Jacobs and Malena Handeen near Milan, MN sustained extensive damage when a grass fire burned out of control earlier this week. There is a clean-up scheduled for Saturday, March 24. An article in the West Central Tribune: www.wctrib.com/event/article/id/91422/ >>
from Audrey Arner: Those who are interested and able are welcome to come and help Saturday at the Easy Bean. There will be all sorts of team activity on Saturday, since some of the work is what they would be doing if they weren't dealing with this, like getting both external greenhouses prepped with sidewalls and new plastic, gardening, pruning, carpentry, maybe painting, cleaning cabins to ready for interns, the barn kitchen, etcetera. Needed: gloves, rakes, pruners--all the garden tools are gone.

Responding to a question in the Lok Sabha, Minister of State for Department of Atomic Energy Jitendra Singh said that nuclear equipment suppliers are objecting to certain provisions of the CLND Act. "Specifically, these relate to Section 17 (b) of the Act which provide for operator's Right of Recourse on the supplier where the nuclear incident has resulted as a consequence of an act of the supplier or his employee, which includes supply of equipment or material with patent or latent defect or substandard services.
"In order to address the concerns raised by domestic suppliers, a scheme based on obtaining appropriate insurance cover from domestic insurance companies, is currently being worked out," Singh said.
He added that signing of the Indo-US Nuclear Deal has also benefitted the country as an exemption was given by the Nuclear Suppliers Group enabling India to conduct nuclear trade.
"The NSG has made an exemption enabling India to benefit from civil nuclear trade in nuclear material and equipment. The shortage of domestically available uranium has been overcome in the case of domestic reactors which are under IAEA safeguards," he said.
The use of imported nuclear fuel has enabled these reactors to operate at full power over long time periods, the minister added.

My first thought in watching The Hobbit was: Do we really need this movie? It was my last thought, too.
In this fitfully engaging, but often patience-straining preamble to Hobbit adventures to come, there is one transporting 10 minutes of screen time. It happens when Bilbo meets the freakish, ring-obsessed creature Gollum.
It's a bloated, shockingly tedious trudge that manages to look both overproduced and unforgivably cheesy.
An overlong adventure enlivened by wonders.
If you loved the earlier films, these are moments you will hold on to, but they're very few, and they're not enough.
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey isn't "unexpected" at all, though between its lighter tone and a decade's worth of improvements in digital film techniques, there should be enough of a novelty factor to delight most fans.
What saves the day is the spidery, schizoid Gollum, again performed by the great Andy Serkis through the craft of motion capture.
Extracting three generously proportioned films from Tolkien's books made sense. But turning the relatively slim 1937 volume 'The Hobbit' into a trilogy, peddling seven or eight hours of cine-mythology, suggests a better deal for the producers than for audiences.
Tolkien's inventive, episodic tale of a modest homebody on a dangerous journey has been turned into an overscale and plodding spectacle.
Jackson imposes a sense of grandeur but mostly loses Tolkien's sense of fun.
This is not about a reluctant hero drawing courage from some deep personal well. It's not about dread and danger. It's about visual effects.
I'm afraid that whoever it was in the New York Film Critics Circle who voted for The Hobbit as best animated film had a point. And so did the people who suspected that this whole thing was a bad idea.
At nearly three hours long, "An Unexpected Journey" has moments when the caravan seems both overstuffed and out of balance, but it's such a scenic trip that only a stubborn homebody could complain.
An Unexpected Journey also proves that it is, indeed, possible to get too much of a good thing.
To sum it up, there is little that is unexpected in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Rather than an epic continuation of Jackson's Middle-earth obsession, the film seems more like the work of a man driving around a multilevel parking garage without being able to find the exit.
By comparison with the other Rings movies - the extremely high bar Jackson has already set for himself - Unexpected Journey falls short and feels muddled, yet too eager to please its fan base with an obligatory swordfight every few scenes.
It's one thing to sit on your couch watching football in HD. It's another to view one of literature's most enduring fantasies in the same manner. The experience that felt so breathtakingly cinematic in Jackson's "Lord of the Rings" series now seems frustratingly fake.
While the production design is impeccable and the journey intermittently involving, The Hobbit is overlong and lacks the enchantment of the Lord of the Rings films.
The result is a film that is solid and acceptable instead of soaring and exceptional, one unnecessarily hampered in its quest to reach the magical heights of the trilogy.
You shouldn't be able to read a book faster than you can see it play out on-screen.
The downside is that "The Hobbit" no longer looks like a movie at all. It looks like a video.
There will be opportunities to see the picture in regular 24 frames per second, but I recommend going the whole hog and sampling what Jackson has come up with - a new way to watch movies and a new take on a universe that seemed to have exhausted its narrative possibilities.
A mesmerizing study in excess, Peter Jackson and company's long-awaited prequel to the Lord of the Rings saga is bursting with surplus characters, wall-to-wall special effects, unapologetically drawn-out story tangents and double the frame rate (48 over 24) of the average movie.
Piles on enough eye candy and action sequences to please fans, plus more humor than the three "Rings" films - even if it only occasionally achieves the trio's grandeur.
After 170 minutes I felt that I had had enough of a pretty good thing. The trilogy will test the stamina of the non-believers, and many might feel, in their secret heart of hearts, that the traditional filmic look of Lord of the Rings was better.
"All good stories deserve embellishment," Gandalf says to Bilbo before they set off, and one has to ask whether the weight of embellishment, on this occasion, makes the journey drag, and why it leaves us more astounded than moved. And yet, on balance, honor has been done to Tolkien, not least in the famous riddle game between Bilbo and Gollum.
The grandeur of the Lord of the Rings trilogy [has] been replaced by something that resembles tatty summer-stock theater.
More time in Middle Earth is exactly what The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey provides - so much more that the movie starts to feel like some Buddhist exercise in deliberately inflicted tedium.
It isn't as delirious a journey as we experienced a decade ago, but it's still filled with wonder, monsters, and thrills.
The Hobbit plays younger and lighter than Fellowship and its follow-ups, but does right by the faithful and has a strength in Martin Freeman's Bilbo that may yet see this trilogy measure up to the last one. There is treasure here.

SUMMARY OF HISTORIC INTERESTA park which originated in the C13 and was landscaped during the late C18 incorporating elements of a late C17 and early C18 landscape. Lancelot Brown drew up proposals for the park and kitchen garden in 1775 and 1776 and it is possible that parts of the park were altered to his designs. During the 1830s William Sawrey Gilpin advised the thirteenth Earl of Derby on various matters relating to the park.HISTORIC DEVELOPMENTThe earliest reference to a park at Knowsley is in 1292 when it was owned by Robert de Lathom. The estate passed to the Stanleys by marriage in 1385. Sir Thomas Stanley was created Earl of Derby in 1485 by Henry VII as a reward for his support in the battle of Bosworth and the estate has remained in the hands of the family since that time.DESCRIPTIONLOCATION, AREA, BOUNDARIES, LANDFORM, SETTING Knowsley Park is situated immediately to the south and east of the village of Knowsley within the area enclosed by the A580 to the north, the B5203 to the east, the A57 and M57 to the south and the B5202 to the west. The c 950ha park is on undulating land which rises to the south-east. The boundary is formed by a stone wall which was built by during the 1830s and 1840s by the thirteenth Earl of Derby. It runs around the whole of the perimeter and is screened by belts of trees apart from an area in the south-east corner of the site; here the boundary was altered in 1921 and is now marked by a fence. The northern part of the west boundary, where the wall runs parallel to Ormskirk Road between Dumbrees Lodge and Ormskirk Lodge, appears to follow the line of an avenue shown on an early C18 estate map. The southern boundary was altered and the wall rebuilt in places in connection with the construction of the M57 motorway. The boundary of the park was altered on several occasions before it was walled. The drive connecting Ormskirk Lodge and Huyton Lodge was formerly a public highway. It was stopped up and the land to the west of it taken into the park in 1777. At some point during the C18 the southern boundary was extended south from a line shown on an early C18 estate map, enclosing an area now occupied by paddocks south of Riding Hill. The setting is urban and suburban on the south and west sides and agricultural elsewhere.ENTRANCES AND APPROACHESThirteen entrances with lodges are shown on the 2nd edition OS map published 1909. Running in a clockwise direction starting from a point where Mill Lane joins Park Road at the north-western end of the site, the first is Dumbrees Lodge which was rebuilt in the late C20; Elbow Field Lodge was on the A580 but the gateway is now blocked and the buildings have been demolished; Longborough Lodge, also on the A580, is a mid C19 red sandstone building. On the eastern boundary there is a gated entrance c 900m south of the A580. Blue Door Lodge is a red-brick late C19 building off the B5203, and Trap Wood Lodge, also off the B5203, is similar in style to Longborough Lodge. On the southern boundary St Helens Lodge was in an area now outside the park and has been demolished. Prescot Lodge was built in the late C20 to replace a lodge cut off from the park by the A57. Paddock Lodge is a red-brick C19 building and Huyton Lodge is a mid C19 red sandstone building. Liverpool Lodge, situated at the south-west corner of the site, was one of the principal entrances and was considered the most ambitious architecturally (Pevsner 1969). It was demolished when the M57 motorway was built. On the western boundary, off Knowsley Road, Croxteth Lodge is a red sandstone mid C19 building, and Home Farm Lodge is a single-storey brick building probably of C19 date. Ormskirk Lodge is now one of the principal entrances and it is situated at the end of Ormskirk Road, which continues south as a drive through the park and connects with approaches to the Hall. Huyton Lodge, Croxteth Lodge and Liverpool Lodge are thought to have been designed by William Burn (Scholl 1985).PRINCIPAL BUILDING Knowsley Hall (listed grade II*) is an L-shaped building situated in the south-west part of the site. There is a reference to a building at Knowsley from the period 1377-99 but the earliest fabric identified is thought to date from the C15 (Pevsner 1969). Successive alterations and additions were made during the C18, C19 and C20. It is not known who was responsible for the C18 work, but John Foster made alterations in 1820, William Burn followed in the 1840s and Romaine Walker was active in 1910. Some 300m north of the Hall are stables of c 1847, probably by William Burn (Scholl 1985). In 1963 Claude Phillimore designed a new house for the eighteenth Earl and this is situated c 600m north-west of the Hall. The Hall is used for a mixture of domestic and commercial uses (1998).GARDENS AND PLEASURE GROUNDS On the west side of the house there is a forecourt in the angle of the L shape formed by the Hall. It has a steep bank on the north side and the west side has entrance gates and railings. This was created in the C20 and was designed to resemble what is shown in a painting of c 1728 by Mollineux. The south side of the Hall has terraced lawns overlooking a stretch of water called Home Pond. On the east side of the house is a late C19 or early C20 terraced garden. There is a change of level between the southern and northern parts of this area; on the south side the lower garden has lawns and an arcaded retaining wall of red brick with stone dressings divides it from the upper garden which is reached from balustraded stone stairs. The upper garden is walled and has lawns. The gardens overlook a stretch of water called Octagon Pond with views of a mid C18 classical building called The Octagon (attributed to William Kent, Scholl 1985) c 80m beyond the water.Home Pond is situated c 60m to the south of the Hall and Octagon Pond c 150m to the east. Both stretches of water are suggested on an early C18 estate map and they are also shown on an estate map of 1785 where they have formal rectangular outlines in contrast to the present irregular, rounded edges. Paintings of late C17 or early C18 date suggest that these may have been elements within a series of water features including a rectangular pool between Home Pond and the east front of the Hall.A path leads from the Hall along the west side of Octagon Pond and on north-east through woodland to a sunken garden c 200m north of Octagon Pond. This is shown as a stretch of water on the 1st edition OS map published 1850 and earlier maps. The garden was created in the mid C20, to take advantage of the fall of water from a dam on the north side. Between this garden and the Octagon Pool is a castellated building called Bridge Lodge which was probably designed by William Burn c 1840 (Colvin 1995). Some 200m north of the Hall is an enclosed area called the American Garden. The east side has a brick wall which connects with the wall of the kitchen garden to the north. In the centre there is a pond, shown on the 1847 Tithe map, which has a rustic bridge crossing it near its south end much as shown in a photograph of 1911 (Holme 1911). The north end of the garden is formed by a stone aviary shown on the 1850 OS map.PARK The park, which was created after 1777, lies to the west of the Hall and consists of open land with scattered clumps of trees. A double lime avenue, which was planted in the early C20, is aligned with the west front of the Hall and runs to the park boundary. A drive running north from the Hall is called Dark Entry and it leads through woodland to an area c 600m north of the Hall which was used by the thirteenth Earl of Derby to house an extensive collection of exotic animals and birds during the 1830s and 1840s. Some 400m north-west of the Hall the drive leading from Croxteth Lodge divides, with branches leading east to the stables and south to the Hall, respectively. At this point there is a decorative Gothic Revival-style cottage of the mid C19 called Orchard Lodge.A large elongated lake called White Man's Dam stretches from a point c 500m north-east of the Hall to a point c 1.6km to the north-east. At its south-west corner there is a castellated building dated 1900 and c 400m north of this on the shore is a boathouse of 1837 designed by William Burn. Open grassland around the lake is planted with scattered trees and clumps. At the northern head of the lake is an area of woodland called the Nightcap which is the reduced remains of a tree belt shown on the 1850 OS map. Lancelot Brown (1716-83) was commissioned to carry out work at Knowsley in 1775, for which he received £100, and in 1776 for which £84 was paid. Brown mentions 'a new kitchen garden' and 'alterations of the Grounds round the House' in his account books. It has been suggested that he proposed the formation of White Man's Dam and the planting of tree belts and clumps in the park (Town and Country Planning 1979). C18 estate maps show that the lake was extant by 1785 and a date of c 1720 has been suggested for its inception (Pevsner 1969).Stand Hill, which is the highest point within the park, rises to the east of the lake and views are obtained in every direction over the lake and park and to the countryside beyond. Some 40m south of the summit is a square tower, possibly of early C19 date, called The Stand. C17 and later estate maps show a building in approximately the same position. Some 900m south of Stand Hill is another eminence called Riding Hill, and c 700m south-east there is a lake called Mizzy Dam. This area is shown in a horse-racing scene painted by Peter Tillemans c 1730 (private collection) and an estate map of 1785 shows the position of a rectangular racetrack which followed a course around Mizzy Dam between Stand Hill and Riding Hill. The latter was the site of a summerhouse which is shown on two paintings by of c 1730 by Tillemans (private collection) with long views north across the park. South of Riding Hill, between Paddock Lodge and Prescot Lodge, is a set of early C19 stud paddocks consisting of ten walled paddocks served by five stables. Immediately to the west of these is a set of fenced paddocks and to the south the tree belt between Huyton Lodge and the site of Liverpool Lodge which was the subject of proposals by W S Gilpin (1762-1843) in the 1830s, though it is not clear exactly what was executed. In the area north of the paddocks, between Riding Hill and a drive leading north from Huyton Lodge, there are scattered trees and clumps which appear to conform with the position of an avenue shown on the early C18 map. The south-eastern part of the park has been turned into a safari park which opened in 1971. An area running from Prescot Lodge northwards around Mizzy Dam up to the margins of Chain Acre Wood is enclosed by a high fence and is used for the display of exotic animals and birds. It is served by a number of late C20 buildings c 150m south-east of Mizzy Dam.The northern half of the park consists mainly of farmland and plantations which conform broadly with what is shown on C18 estate maps. Some 600m north-east of White Man's Dam is Chain Acre Wood. This appears to correspond with an area of woodland shown on estate maps of the late C17 and the early C18 with walks through it radiating from a central point. Some 600m north-west of White Man?s Dam is area of woodland called Berry Hill which is shown, with the same name, on a late C17 estate map. The north-west corner of the park is mainly used for grazing and arable farming.KITCHEN GARDEN A brick-walled kitchen garden is situated c 220m north of the Hall. It is shown on the 1850 OS map, but it is not known whether it corresponds with a kitchen garden referred to by Brown in 1776. The garden is divided into two halves by a brick wall and entrances are generally tall arched openings with boarded doors. It is shown subdivided into compartments on the 1850 OS map while the 2nd edition OS map revised 1906-7 shows numerous glasshouses, all of which have disappeared or been replaced.REFERENCES The Victoria History of the County of Lancashire 3, (1907), pp 157-68 N Pevsner, The Buildings of England: South Lancashire (1969), pp 132-4 D Stroud, Capability Brown (1975), p 231 Town and Country Planning, (September 1979), p 204 A Scholl, The Historical Development of Knowsley Park (Groundwork Trust 1985) H Colvin, A Biographical Dictionary of English Architects 1530-1830 (1995 edit), p 188Maps The Mansion House of Knowsley in ye Demesne and Park therunto belonging, nd (late C17) (tracing in Liverpool Sites and Monuments Record (LSMR), Liverpool Museum) Ancient Plans of Knowsley Park, 1726, Knowsley Hall Collection, no 286 (compilation tracing in LSMR) A Survey with Maps of the Estate of the Right Honourable Edward Earl of Derby, 1785, Knowsley Hall Collection, no 161 (compilation tracing in LSMR) Tithe map for Knowsley, 1847 (Lancashire Record Office)OS 6" to 1 mile: 1st edition surveyed 1845-7, published 1850 2nd edition revised 1906-7, published 1909 provisional edition 1925 with additions 1938, partly revised 1939Archival items S Piebenga, William Sawrey Gilpin, (typescript 1994, English Heritage file) G A Worsely, The Design and Development of the Stable and Riding House in Great Britain from the 13th Century to 1914, (unpub PhD thesis, Courtauld Institute 1989)Description written: March 1998 Amended: June 1998 Register Inspector: CEH Edited: March 1999

Fancy Footwork
Spa-quality items to treat your feet
By Diana Rupp
Pedicures, like most physical pleasures, feel best when done by someone else. But going to a salon is not always an option. An excellent alternative is indulging in a whole host of foot-pampering products chez vous. I tried a bunch and recommend these favorites:
Tweezerman's Deluxe Pedicure Kit contains all the tools of the trade, including double-action spring toenail scissors, heavy-duty toenail clippers, a callus rasp (removes and smoothes calluses), a corn callus shaver (with replacement blades), a nail file embedded with sapphire chips for professional results and a set of comfy toe separators. Implements come with free lifetime sharpening and a manufacturing defect warranty ($35).
Sweet-smelling plum and pumice or iced bayberry Bare Foot Scrubs by Freeman gently exfoliate rough patches on soles and heels ($3 each).
Soak away discomfort and fatigue with Batherapy, a calming blend of natural minerals similar to those found in hot springs ($3 for three treatments).
Borghese's Spa Socks look like regular sweat socks on the outside but inside are first-of-their-kind polymer liners that leave feet feeling baby soft ($39). The socks work even better when worn with the ultrarich Pedi Vitale therapeutic foot crème, also from the Borghese Teme de Montecatini spa line ($20).

Shane Warne is yet to bat for the Melbourne Stars, is he scared to hit the crease?
- From: News Corp Australia Network
- January 04, 2013
SHANE Warne boasts the most Test runs of any player without having scored a century.
The spin king made two scores in the nineties and was revered for his lower-order prowess during his heyday.
But it's time to ask the question: Is Warnie scared to bat?
The last time he picked up the willow was in May 2011. Playing for the Rajasthan Royals, he was bowled by Brad Hodge for two.
LIVE: Follow Australia's innings against Sri Lanka
In the same month, he made a second-ball duck and in last year's Big Bash campaign, Warne was not required to make his way to the crease.
Then came the bizarre finish to last night's Melbourne Stars-Brisbane Heat match, when Warne seemingly baulked at the thought of playing his maiden BBL innings.

Tyrone Biggums of Ipswich Posted at 8:09 PM January 04, 2013
I think this is proof that his eye sight is going, if any player is too vain to wear glasses it would be Warnie. I think his issues in the field also come from not being able to see the ball at a distance and then refocus on the ball to take a catch. His experience would allow him to get near where a ball should land, but his eyes dont allow him to focus
Comment 3 of 12
Rant-o-Saurus of Australia Posted at 8:28 PM January 04, 2013
I think Warne's alleged prowess in the field is a bit misguided. For the last 10 years of his Test career, he didn't move from first slip (and when he did it was to bowl), so to get him to field anywhere else might be asking a bit much. As for batting...well, he's seen better batsman than he ever was fail at the highest level at a younger age. Understandably, he's not feeling very confident about smashing runs.

Well....shame...pretty much has all he wants...or needs....it's just that niggling craving for the spotlight... that he can't seem to let go of. I think many will be remembering that can't bowl can't throw comment........WITH A DIFFERENT TWIST. ESPECIALLY those of us who gained an insight to his ''footy career'' this week. Um....can't run....can't tackle.

...coming from iOS (1st Gen iPod touch -> iPhone 4)
I love the idea of the "People Hub" and was ecstatic that it appeared that MS had pulled off what it seemed Apple could not...seamlessly merge contacts from multiple sources into one interface.
My dilemma - this is first and foremost a work phone...the company I work for re-reimburses me a set amount for my phone every month as long as I use AT&T. It's my account, under may name, and I get to choose any phone I want and so when the new WP8 phones came out I decided to try WP8 and purchased a Nokia Lumia 920.
My company uses GMail under their own domain - email, calendars, contacts...everything so I was very pleased to note that it appeared that all my existing contacts magically appeared in my phone as I linked various accounts. But this is also a personal phone so I have personal emails accounts with GMail and Yahoo as well with contacts there too (Corporate and Personal Gmail accounts are linked to each other).
So in experimenting with the phone, namely Groups and Rooms, I noticed that I had some contacts that were missing information. Naturally I attempted to edit the contact on the phone but was told that I could only add to the information not change the original information...no problem as long as the information is there who cares. So I add the missing phone number and continue along. Later I attempt to send a group text as a test...WHOA...the phone number is missing AGAIN?! Re-edit the contact and a little while later same issue...ARGHHH! Next I log into GMail and edit the information there...some of the information seems to update but not all...FRAK!
So I took extreme measures - I logged into my Personal Gmail account and exported all my contacts and deleted them from Gmail completey. I logged into my Corporate Gmail account and deleted all non-company contacts and export the remainder. I import both my Personal and Corporate contacts into Live.com and go through all the contacts fixing issues. In preferences on Live.com I block it from fetching contacts from GMail completely. On my Nokia Lumia I set the preferences to not sync contacts from the Corporate GMail account.
Now I think I'm golden as all my contacts are in Live.com...boy was I WRONG!
The Lumia seems to be fetching some but not all of the contacts from Live.com - unless Hotmail contacts and Live.com contacts are different systems?
With the exception of Facebook and Twitter contacts I prefer to manage my contacts myself from a central location but now I'm completely lost...how the FRAK do I setup the phone so that I'm only getting contacts from one place? -
One thing you can do is go to Settings/applications/people and click FILTER MY CONTACT LIST. Uncheck everything but your Live/Hotmail (or whatever list you want to use).
If you want to continue using multiple lists like facebook and hotmail/live, you can select the contact from one location and link it to another by hitting the chain icon under that person. This is helpful if you have phone information in your personal contact list and other information in something like a facebook list.
Hope this helps. - 11-20-2012, 10:50 PM #3
That's strange... try hard resetting the phone and doing it again? It seems like a software issue to me. It connected to your live without an error message, so live isn't having any issues.
Thanks...have it set to Hotmail, Facebook, Twitter & Nokia
"Soft Reset" did not work either?
If I have to do a hard reset should I setup a brand new @outlook.com email account and start from scratch?
RE-EDIT - looks like it's working now...I'd like to thank everyone for their assistance and will update if I continue to have issues.Last edited by AZBrowncoat; 11-20-2012 at 11:23 PM.
Just remember sync from the phone to outlook.com is not instant, I think it updates on the back end in some kind of intervals so it takes a little time to see changes often times. Especially when adding linked sources like FB, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.

Awesome points...and good to know that a manual email refresh might be necessary - just used to storing contacts locally and not having to wait for updates I suppose.
STILL having issues with "People Hub"
...currently I'm logged onto Outlook.com and am looking at a contact with a phone number but when I look at that same contact on my phone no phone number.
At the top of the screen it has the contact name and underneath that it states "Hotmail, Facebook".
We're looking at what...36 hours and the information still isn't syncing? - 11-22-2012, 01:16 PM #11
u might want to check if all your contacts are linked correctly, i had a problem where a guy (Tom) had a girl's(Cindy) account linked under it when I first set it up, boy was it weird when I got a message from Tom saying "When my baby comes out"...
The only two "links" for the contact in question are Hotmail and Facebook. I've unlinked GMail and copied ALL of my contacts to Hotmail and updated each and every entry.
How can I tell what Hotmail account the contacts are being pulled from...I'm assuming that it's the account that I am logging into with my Xbox ID/Microsoft Account? - 11-22-2012, 04:02 PM #13
So is there a way to tell what Hotmail/Outlook account the data is being pulled from?
As far as I know I only have one Hotmail/Outlook account as I'm taking great pains to have as much data as possible in one place for easy management. I have set a Microsoft Account, Nokia Account Facebook, Company Gmail (w/contacts blocked), LinkedIn & Twitter.
Is there anywhere else data is being stored? -

Moller, Kai (2005) Paternalismus und Persönlichkeitsrecht (Paternalism and the Right to Privacy). Duncker & Humblot, Berlin, Germany. ISBN 3428116798
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
The book analyses whether and to what extent legal paternalism – protecting a person against his or her will, for example through prohibitions of smoking or drinking, seat-belt laws, or the prevention of suicide – is compatible with human rights, in particular with the rights of the German Basic Law. It is the first in its field to draw on the rich Anglo-American literature on the topic and combine it with German constitutional law doctrines.

(3) Mon Nov 01 2004 08:25 PST More Spamthropology:
You know all that mortgage spam? I couldn't figure it out. How did it work? What spammer could finance mortgages and stick around to get them paid off, or would be able to foist people off onto a real bank and take a cut? Why would the most expensive purchase the average person makes in their life be advertised via spam? Why would this business be so successful that spam for it would multiply over time?
Then I went to one of the mortgage spam websites and it all fell into place. It's a phishing scam. They just want your personal information for some other purpose. Not nearly as interesting as I'd hoped.

Jetty is a project at the Eclipse Foundation.
Homepage: | http://www.eclipse.org/jetty |

Security realms allow you to secure your web applications against unauthorized access. Protection is based on authentication (identifying who is requesting access to the webapp) and access control (restricting what can be accessed and how it is accessed within the webapp).
A webapp statically declares its security requirements in the web.xml file. Authentication is controlled by the <login-config>
element. Access controls are specified by <security-constraint>
and <security-role-ref>
elements. When a request is received for a protected resource, the web container checks if the user performing the request is authenticated, and if the user has a role assignment that permits access to the requested resource.
The Servlet Specification does not address how the static security information in the WEB-INF/web.xml
file is mapped to the runtime environment of the container. Jetty does this with the "realm" concept.
A realm has a unique name, and is composed of a set of users. Each user has authentication information (e.g. a password) and a set of roles associated with him/herself.
You may configure one or many different realms depending on your needs. A single realm would indicate that you wish to share common security information across all of your web applications. Distinct realms allow you to partition your security information webapp by webapp.
When a request to a web application requires authentication or authorisation, Jetty will use the <login-config><realm-name>
element in the web.xml file to perform an exact match to a realm defined in a jetty xml configuration file (or programmatically).
Realm definitions in jetty xml configuration files are placed in a section like this:
There will be one <Item>
entry for every realm instance you define. Jetty provides a number of different realm types from which you can choose.
This realm is a simple realm whose autentication and authorisation information is stored in a properties file. Each line in the file contains a username, a password, and 0 or more role assignments. The format is:
- username is the user's unique identity
- password is the user's (possibly obfuscated or MD5 encrypted) password
- rolename is the user's role
For example:
The HashUserRealm is configured with a name and a reference to the location of the properties file:
In this implementation, authentication and role information is stored in a database accessed via JDBC. A properties file defines the JDBC connection and database table information. Below is an example of a properties file for this realm implementation:
The format of the database tables is:
users |
id |
user |
pwd |
user_roles |
user_id |
role_id |
roles |
id |
role |
- users is a table containing one entry for every user consisting of:
- id - the unique identity of a user
- user - the name of the user
- pwd - the user's password (possibily obfuscated or MD5 encrypted)
- user-roles is a table containing one row for every role granted to a user:
- user_id - the unique identity of the user
- role_id - the role for a user
- roles is a a table containing one role for every role in the system:
- id is the unique identifier of a role
- role is a human-readable name for a role
The pseudo-sql to set up each of these tables would look like:
A JDBCRealm is defined with the name of the realm and the location of the properties file describing the database:

Like Oliver, Oscar, Thomas, Thiago, William, Gabriel, Luca, Ezra, Ryan so far, but I think we are still searching for that name we love. Oscar is very cute though and one we hadn't even thought of...

Experiences with Nanochromis transvestitus (Full Article)
Author: José María Cid RuizA rare cichlid from fast-moving waters in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Nanochromis transvestitus is a bit of a challenge to keep and breed but will reward you with its stunning coloration and fascinating parental care.
When Stewart and Robert collected Nanochromis transvestitus for the first time in 1973 in the chocolate-colored waters of Lake Mai-Ndombe (Democratic Republic of the Congo, formerly Zaire), they did not doubt that their purple-colored specimens were the splendid males of a new species of dwarf cichlid, but this species held a surprise: The specimens in brilliant red-violet livery were the females. First described scientifically in 1984, the species' name, transvestitus, refers to this anecdote.

Prepare thyself. Another "must-see" Japanese pitching prospect could be on his way to the states as soon as this offseason.
FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal heard from a source Saturday that right-hander Yu Darvish is likely to be "posted" this winter, meaning teams in Major League Baseball will have a crack at luring him away from the Nippon Ham Fighters.
Darvish is only 24 and widely considered one of the top pitchers in Japan. He has won two MVP awards in his first five seasons of professional baseball and became the youngest player in Japanese baseball history to be given a contract worth more than 300 million yen (about $3.5 million US) when he re-signed with Nippon last season.
He will have no trouble topping that salary if and when he signs with a team state-side. The Yankees, according to Rosenthal, have been watching every one of his starts and other teams are sure to step forward with bids as well. But let's also keep in mind that pitchers of Darvish's ilk are not guaranteed success in the big leagues. In fact, few have found it an easy transition.

Beltran, Pedro, and Hudson? Oh my!
Some early analysis:
Atlanta Braves
Lost in FA/Trades : Byrd, Oritz, Wright, Drew, and Thomas
Gained in FA/Trades: Hudson
Normally losing 3 starters will cripple a team but with Hudson joining the rotation and Smoltz reentering it, I'd say it's likely the Braves' rotation is better this year and they gave up the fewest runs in the NL last year. They'll miss the corner outfield production, but I'll assume Schuerholz will find the answer. Austin Kearns, Brian Jordan, and Aubrey Huff are all possibilities.
Better than the Nats: Yes
New York Mets
Lost in FA/Trades : Leiter, Hildalgo
Gained in FA/Trades: Pedro, Galarraga, Beltran?
Adding Beltran is key to this team as offensive production might be a real problem without him. 12th in the leagues last year. They can expect to be healthier and Wright to improve, but they need another bat desperately. The rotation, with Pedro joining newcomers Benson and Zambrano, should challenge for best in the league.
Better than the Nats: Without Beltran, we could hope for a Pedro injury that might even up things. With him, it's a definite yes.
Philadelphia Phillies
Lost in FA/Trades : Millwood, Milton
Gained in FA/Trades: Lieber
Leiber is better than Milton, and probably as good as Millwood is expected to pitch (though I like Millwood's chances of being MUCH better in '05), but the rotation still needs work. I guess the hope is Gavin Floyd and Brett Myers save the day. They did nothing to the offense but it was an underperforming 3rd best in runs in the NL. And we haven't even mentioned the biggest offseason addition by subtraction, the firing of Larry Bowa.
Better than the Nats: Unless the team sits around getting stoned and listening to Jimmy Buffet without Larry's fiery presence, yes. Too much offense to believe otherwise.
Florida Marlins
Lost in FA/Trades : Benitez, Pavano, Cordero
Gained in FA/Trades: Leiter, Alfonseca
Both offense and pitching were middle of the road last year. But Leiter will help (marginally) and they too should be healthier. Their offense needs another bat, though. Rumors are circling Delgado.
Better than the Nats: Without Delgado, we'd have the best shot at catching the Marlins. A Lowell or Cabrera injury away from a wasted season. With him, they are without a doubt better.
It could be a long season folks. In another division (AL Central perhaps), the Nats at least could dream, and you could reason how the team could finish .500. In the NL East next year, especially if Beltran and Delgado both sign in division, we should be cellar-dwellars coast to coast.
(Not that there's anyone to blame. Bowden, while I have little faith in him, is hamstrung without owners and with the team MLB created for the sole purpose of destroying baseball in Montreal.)

The good news, though, is that we're good enough to provide some entertaining baseball games against some of the best clubs in the National League.
