Right on schedule, second generation Simple.TV network tuner pre-orders have begun shipping.
To improve upon the first gen, Simple.TV partnered with Silicon Dust to produce a smaller, yet more more powerful dual tuning unit to better leverage those high definition over-the-air broadcasts. For maximum flexibity, but a possibly higher geek quotient, SimpleTV remains hard driveless and headless – bring your own external storage and display technology. And speaking of those endpoints, live or recorded content can be viewed via refreshed web, iOS, and Android experiences. Further, at CES next month, we expect to see SimpleTV's incoming Roku channel updates and a new Ouya client. While you can run the new SimpleTV ($250) without "Premiere" service, we expect most would pull the trigger to enable its full capabilities, including season pass recording and remote access. And the plot thickens in 2014 as we anticipate a new tier of service to include cloud storage, à la Boxee.
We've been cranking away on a SimpleTV review the last couple months and expect to share our (positive) experiences soon, once we've had some quality time with the new Android app… as the software updates equally improve the first gen hardware experience. And if Aereo ever launches in DC, we'll run a comparison.
Update: It appears there's been some last minute delay. While the Simple.TV site began accepting orders December 26th, product won't actually ship until January and NewEgg pre-orders have been pushed from December to January 17th (but units are $50 off). Simple TV's PR firm hasn't yet responded to our inquiry.
We've been tracking Channel Master's moves since new digital video recorder hardware first surfaced in FCC documents last summer. They've clearly used the intervening months wisely to fine tune both the product experience and marketing strategy as the originally documented pair of K77 set-tops has been whittled down to the single and more memorable DVR+ ($250). And, as you probably guessed from the video above, I do indeed have product on hand… and my initial impressions are quite positive.
The first thing you notice about the dual-tuner, over-the-air DVR+, developed by EchoStar to Channel Master's specifications, is its amazingly slim form factor. Weeks in, I'm still in awe of the hardware that has similar dimensions to a legal pad or slim notebook. It's both physically solid and quite handsome… as is the matching remote.
Of course, to hit such slim proportions, compromises had to be made. And we assume the absence of analog inputs is the result. Related, the Channel Master DVR+ ships with a mere 16GB of flash storage, good for 2 hours of HD recording and the ability to pause live television for up to 15 minutes. Having said that, I appreciate Channel Master's modular approach with DVR+ — buy what you need, when you need it (or as funds permit). For example, without an Internet connection, the DVR+ is capable of receiving a modest amount of guide data over the air and software updates can be performed manually via USB. But add Internet, via integrated Ethernet jack or $40 WiFi adapter, and more comprehensive guide data (powered by Rovi) extends to 14 days with software updates coming over the 'net. Add USB storage to increase your recording capacity, and also receive a larger 1 hour buffer to pause and rewind live television. As a dual tuner DVR, the hardware is capable of recording up to two high definition, over-the-air broadcasts via antenna with the ability to simultaneously watch previously recorded programming. And all of that sips a miserly 9.7 watts. In fact, Channel Master intends to apply for Energy Star 3 or 4 certification.
On the software front, Channel Master has seemed to strike the right balance between form and function – the guide looks sharp, with well implemented transparency. And, functionaly, novices can get up and running with minimal fuss while there are more advanced features (like padding) for those willing to dig deeper. If I had to ding any aspect of the presentation, I'd say the networking settings and configuration could be tightened up. The plus sign in DVR+ refers to its online capabilities and those who run it connected to the Internet will have access to over-the-top app content. At launch, we're looking solely at Vudu video on demand. But Channel Master tells me they have additional deals in place and development work will commence shortly… and I sure hope YouTube and Netflix are on the 2014 roadmap. Interestingly, Channel Master has decided to implement online content within the guide versus a dedicated app area. For example, Vudu resides at "channel" 200 and others will come in above it, with plans to map a remote button to the 200s for efficient access.
While we frequently discuss "cord cutters", the fact is that there are something around 15 million antenna-only households… many of whom are price sensitive and still fumble around with VCRs. This is the market Channel Master is prioritizing with DVR+ and the company's first goal is a rock solid over-the-air digital recorder, with additional online content to follow – to expand its utility and potential audience. Further, unlike a TiVo, the DVR+ does not require a service fee (or Internet connection) and that aforementioned modular approach makes for a flexible solution. Pre-orders begin today, for January shipment, and I'll be taking questions below.
The next generation gaming consoles have arrived. And, while the enclosures are more subtle this time around, it certainly appears that Sony engineers have schooled Microsoft on hardware design with the PS4 featuring a substantially more compact and elegant form… that doesn't, yet again, require a massive power brick as the Xbox One does. However, initial skin-deep impressions may be irrelevant, given these devices ultimate home within a TV stand (assuming the Xbone will fit — in mine, it certainly will not.) Of course, both units feature beefed up hardware and a focus on gaming. Yet also offer so much more – particularly the Xbox One that comes bundled with Kinect 2.0 and an intent to own "Input One" of our living room televisions with HDMI pass-thru, including a TV guide overlay (of questionable value to TiVo owners). Also, this time around, both consoles require an annual fee for online, multiplayer access ($50-$60). Which is probably why I picked up a fee-free PS3 Super Slim two weeks ago for my modest gaming and Blu-ray playback needs…
I imagine I'll be more interested down the line, after the requisite bug-squashing updates and price drops hit. But what about you – is 2013 the year, which platform and why?
As you may recall, we had great luck pulling in over-the-air high-definition broadcasts via the flat Mohu Leaf antenna. And, while it works rather well, it's somewhat lacking in the style department as a single, flexible sheet.. that I thumbtacked to the wall. Enter the new Mohu Curve ($55). The Curve's unamplified reception range (30 miles) is similar to what Mohu markets for the Leaf (35 miles), and I've requested more detail on its design and capabilities. But the primary differentiator is a sleeker, sturdier design with integrated stand. Assuming you have the shelf space and you're OK with white (versus the black/white reversible Leaf).

The Steinberg website tells which build of Cubase 4 is compatible with Windows 7, but doesn't say anything about 32 vs 64 bit. I did notice that Cubase 5 came with a 64 bit installer noted, but no note on 4.
I am getting ready to buy a new quad core pc and use it solely for my audio video work. I am going to be moving all my software over. Just wondering if I will need to upgrade to 5 in order to get 64 bit compatibility or if I can just run Cubase 4 in 32 bit on a 64 bit OS? And I can, do I really need to give a crap about 64bit, in terms of any performance boost it might deliver.
Any thoughts?

I couldn't agree more. Like Vamp suggests, I want to see us making the traditional news posts for spicy NVIDIA news/reviews, really cool news and anything else that merits commentary.
The roundups really help to make us (as news posters) more efficient. Now I don't feel obligated to regurgitate some trite, overused intro comment before every news item I come across. To be honest, that alone has kept me from bothering to make a post or not. Good or bad, the fact is I usually don't have a heck of lot of time to post each day so the last thing I want to do is to *introduce* the news post. It's more an issue of my wanting to come up with something worth reading for the user, or something funny, interesting, etc...and 9 times out of 10 I just don't have it.
I'm more and more confident that the combination of traditional and roundup styles will be a nice improvement for the site.

Takenobu Mitsuyoshi
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (January 2012)
Takenobu Mitsuyoshi (光吉猛修 Mitsuyoshi Takenobu?, born December 12, 1967) is a Japanese composer of video game music. He has composed music for various games produced by Sega, including Virtua Fighter 2 and Shenmue.[1] He was also the voice actor of Bill in Sega-AM2's 1993 fighting arcade game, Burning Rival.
Takenobu Mitsuyoshi held a particular interest in the genre of game music, and was thrilled to have been given the opportunity to work in this field with Sega. Joining the Sega team in 1990 not only allowed him to create music in his favorite format, but it also offered him the chance to be a part of the celebrated S.S.T. Band (Sega Sound Team), a live performance band employed by Sega to perform games music of its arcade games.
Mitsuyoshi's name first gained major recognition after the release of Daytona USA, for which he had written all music and vocals.[2]
In the highly acclaimed[citation needed] 1999 Dreamcast release, Shenmue, Mitsuyoshi created a soundtrack of over 20 songs and more than 200 other pieces to be used throughout the game. He composed the game's popular 2001 sequel, Shenmue II, as well. Mitsuyoshi also sang the Japanese ending theme of Space Channel 5 Part 2, "This Is My Happiness".
Since then, Mitsuyoshi has focused less on writing his own material and more on providing signature vocals to other Sega games.
Video game soundtracks[edit]
- G-LOC: Air Battle (1990)
- GP Rider (1991)
- Strike Fighter (1991)
- Virtua Racing (1992)
- OutRunners (1993)
- Daytona USA (1994)[3]
- Virtua Fighter 2 (1994)
- Sega Rally Championship (1995)
- Manx TT Superbike (1995)
- J. League Victory Goal '96 (1996)
- Virtua Fighter 3 (1996)
- Virtua Fighter Kids (1996)
- Daytona USA 2 (1998)
- Sega Rally 2 (1998)
- Shenmue (1999)
- Shenmue II (2001)
- World Club Champion Football Serie A (2003)
- World Club Champion Football 2006-2007 (2008)
- Derby Owners Club (2008)
Takenobu Mitsuyoshi's music from Shenmue was performed live at the first Symphonic Game Music Concert in Leipzig, Germany in 2003. It was the first time that a concert featuring video game music was held outside Japan.[4]
Mitsuyoshi attended the world-premiere of Play! A Video Game Symphony at the Rosemont Theater in Rosemont, Illinois in May 2006. His music from the Shenmue series was performed by a full symphony orchestra. This event drew nearly 4000 attendees.[citation needed]
In 2007, his music from the World Club Champion Football series was presented at the fifth Symphonic Game Music Concert. Takenobu Mitsuyoshi joined the choir during the performance.[4]
For Symphonic Shades – Hülsbeck in Concert in 2008, Takenobu Mitsuyoshi arranged music from Apidya, by German composer Chris Hülsbeck. The event was performed by the WDR Radio Orchestra Cologne in Cologne, Germany and marked the first live radio broadcast of a video game music concert.[5]

Even if you aren't sandbagging, your results should indicate you need to be playing up.
I could live with #1 if they enforced #2. The problem is that teams have figured out how to get their players down to the their prior levels once they have been bumped often in just 6 months to a year. They will spend a season playing mixed and play a some regular matches at their new level and lose them. ESRs come out 6 months later and they are at their lower level again. Then they spend the fall season managing their rating so they get the end of year C rating at their lower level. If they want high level competition they enter age group and open tournaments which don't affect their ratings or play in alternative leagues (I know quite a few USTA 4.0 players playing in a legit 4.5-5.0+ alternative league which is invitation only).

COOSBAY,Ore. -- A Coos County judge on Wednesday sentenced a North Bend man to five years of probation and fined him $2,000 for disturbing a Native American archaeological site.
Federal prosecutors said David Gieselman repeatedly dug up the objects from a site on the north shore of Coos Bay despite multiple warnings that it violated the law.
A judge ordered Gieselman to forfeit 12 tribal artifacts in his possession and banned him from entering any Oregon state park for five years, the OregonAttorneyGeneral's Office said.
Because they tell a significant part of Oregon s story, these resources are important to Oregon s tribes and all Oregonians, Oregon AG Ellen Rosenblum said. The Oregon Department of Justice is committed to working closely with the tribes to vigorously enforce the laws protecting these sites.
Confederated Tribes of the Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indian officials said they found Gieselman digging up tools at the site in February, and again in May 2010, and warned him against further collecting.
Oregon State Police searched his house and found 180 artifacts.
Our social order was broken, we lost our traditions, tribal ways, and our language was forbidden, Chief Warren Brainard said. Our way of life forever changed, our history was lost, stolen and changed to what our masters told the next generation. Our only true history is what can lawfully be recovered from undisturbed archaeological sites.
Local Native Americans fished and may have built canoes on the site as well.

The Rational Optimist Goes Global
Recommended by our global thinkers, an excerpt from Matt Ridley's book on why everything is going to be OK -- even Africa and global warming.
- By Matt RidleyMatt Ridley is author of The Rational Optimist, from which this excerpt is taken. Copyright 2010 by Matt Ridley. Reprinted courtesy of Harper, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers.
Sooner or later, the ubiquitous pessimist will confront the rational optimist with his two trump cards: Africa and climate. It is all very well Asia lifting itself out of poverty, and perhaps Latin America too, but surely, says the pessimist, it is hard to imagine Africa following suit. The continent is doomed by its population boom, its endemic diseases, its tribalism, its corruption, its lack of infrastructure, even — whisper some, more in sorrow than in prejudice — its genes. "It's blindingly obvious," says the environmentalist Jonathan Porritt: "completely unsustainable population growth in most of Africa will keep it permanently, hopelessly, stuck in deepest, darkest poverty."
And in any case, continues the pessimist, Africa cannot hope to boom because climate change will devastate the continent during the coming century before it can prosper. At the time of writing, global warming is by far the most fashionable reason for pessimism. The earth's atmosphere has warmed, and it seems that the great 100,000-year experiment of human progress is about to be tested against rising sea levels, melting ice caps, droughts, storms, famines, pandemics and floods. Human activity is causing much of this change, especially by the burning of fossil fuels, whose energy has been responsible for raising the living standards of many of the world's nearly seven billion people, so humankind faces a stark dilemma in the coming century between continuing a carbon-fuelled prosperity until global warming brings it to a calamitous halt, or restricting the use of carbon and risking a steep decline in living standards because of the lack of alternative sources of energy that are cheap enough. Either prospect might be catastrophic.
Africa and climate therefore confront the rational optimist with a challenge, to say the least. For somebody who has spent 300 pages looking on the bright side of human endeavour, arguing along the way that the population explosion is coming to a halt, that energy will not soon run out, that pollution, disease, hunger, war and poverty can all be expected to continue declining if human beings are not impeded from exchanging goods, services and ideas freely — for such a person as your author, African poverty and rapid global warming are indeed acute challenges.
Moreover, the two issues are connected, because the models that predict rapid global warming take as their assumption that the world will prosper mightily, and that the poorest countries on the planet — most of which are African — will by the end of this century be about nine times as rich as they are today. Unless they are, carbon dioxide emissions will be insufficient to cause such rapid warming. And at present there is no way to make Africans as rich as Asians except by them burning more fossil fuels per head. So Africa faces an especially stark dilemma: get rich by burning more carbon and then suffer the climate consequences; or join the rest of the world in taking action against climate change and continue to wallow in poverty.
That is the conventional wisdom. I think it is a false dilemma and that an honest appraisal of the facts leads to the conclusion that by far the most likely outcome of the next nine decades is both that Africa gets rich and that no catastrophic climate change happens.

It felt a bit eerie being in a tomb from 14th to 13th C. BC.

Dave Duncan could fix Chien-Ming Wang
Dec 13, 2009, 11:14 AM EDT
Cardinals pitching coach Dave Duncan
said Chien-Ming Wang, who was non-tendered by the Yankees on Saturday,
intrigues him as a free agent, reports Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Wang likely won't be able to
contribute until next May as he recovers from shoulder surgery, and he
hasn't pitched a full season since 2007, but when his sinker is on,
Wang is one of the most dominant wormkillers in the game (60.1% career
groundball rate, though it has declined over the past two seasons).
That Duncan sees an opportunity to right Wang shouldn't surprise anyone.
The Cardinals are currently preparing themselves for life after free agent Joel Pineiro. Under the
tutelage of Duncan, the 31-year-old right-hander was 15-12 with a 3.49
ERA and 1.14 WHIP in '09, posting a career-best 60.5% groundball rate.
Pineiro didn't just enjoy his best professional season in 2009, he was
a completely reformed pitcher, leading the majors with 448
groundballs and the National League with 29 double-play grounders. With
Brad Penny already under contract, there's a strong possibility that
Pineiro signs a lucrative multi-year contract elsewhere.
Wang, who has a more-established
track record as a groundball pitcher, would be a cheap alternative to
Pineiro, even if he won't contribute immediately. Common thinking is
that Wang will join Joe Torre in Los Angeles, but if he truly wants to
resurrect his career, St. Louis may be his best choice.
- hop2171 - Dec 13, 2009 at 1:40 PM
"Fix" Wang? Look at his numbers before he got hurt, he won 19 games twice so whats there to actually fix here? All he needs to do is get healthy and keep doing what he was doing.
- YANKEES1996 - Dec 14, 2009 at 11:33 AM
The shoulder surgery he had to have was more serious that what was expected and his rehab is being closely monitored by Dr.Andrews. I think the Yankees made a wise choice by not offering on Wang and he still may come back to the Yankees on an incentive based contract, if not, well so be it. I don't think Wang would fare very well in the NL where he is going to be required to hit and run the bases. I'm sure there is a team out there for him I just don't think anyone is going to offer big money to sign him coming off of shoulder surgery.
I don't think Dave Duncan has to fix Wang, I think Wang is just going to have to trust his doctor and his shoulder. There have been people that said his delivery changed after he injured his foot and if that is the case he will have to fix that on his on his own.

By taking motto of "QUALITY FIRST" into the consideration Genmot has achieved to obtain ISO 9002 TUV CERT Quality Certificate in 2002 thus registered its quality in compliance of international standards.
Genmot started the construction of its own factory in Konya 3rd Organized Industrial Area covering a total 40.000 m2 open area and 14.000 m2 covered area since there has been a tremendous demand of its crankshafts worldwide. By the year of 2004 the investments upon the quality has resulted with ISO 9001:2000 TUV-CERT Quality Assurance Certificate, SO 9001:2008 Quality Assurance Certificate respectively.

ebay collections question
I used ebay for a few months back in 2004. After that I never used it. Since then I changed my e-mail address and phone number.
I got a letter from a collection agency yesterday called Convergent Outsourcing
for a bill of $55.85. I didn't think I owed ebay any money, so I logged into ebay and I did owe that exact amount and paid it off through ebay.
However I now fear this collection agency is going to want the 55.85 or put it on my credit report. I checked "Experian" today and there are no delinquent accounts from Convergent Outsourcing, however they do show up as looking at my credit a few months ago.
I Googled Convergent Outsourcing and they have so many complaints, etc., but on the letter they sent me--they knew the exact amount I owed ebay as well as my username.
So I contacted ebay and they said pay the bill, which I did last night. But if ebay sent this to an outside debt collector Convergent would never know and possibly still give me "Account in Collections."
What should I do. I mean it's only 55.85, but I would hate for this to show up on my credit report. Like I said I already paid ebay last night.
I thought once a company (ebay in this situation) sells a debt to a collection agency that the collection agency owns and collects on any payments.
I am confused. If I have to pay Convergent the same amount to protect my credit I will.
Just Google "Convergent Outsourcing" and you will be
Thanks for any advice.

Give them a call and said you paid, they will probably scrap it on their end. PayPal does this too. But it's mostly because you'll likely pay up if it comes to collection agencies, versus if eBay/PayPal was to just keep bugging you about it.

I lapsed on paying a bill a while back, medical if I recall correctly. It went to a collection company and they notified me in writing. I paid off the bill to the original debtor, got another letter from the collection company stating I still owed them money, a fee I guess. I suspect your debt collector will be expecting something, maybe $5-10, for their efforts. I hope it's not more than that. Don't stress, this kind of thing happens and you just have to roll with it. Some debt collectors actually buy the debt, and they can be down right nasty about getting people to pay, but this is usually when the sum is in the thousands, not $50. Hope this helps.

Missed Opportunities Stifle Illini in Series Opener at Northwestern
April 5, 2013
Evanston, Ill. - The Fighting Illini had at least two base runners on in every inning, but were unable to get a hit off reigning National Player of the Week Amy Letourneau, falling 8-0 in five innings to the neighboring Northwestern Wildcats. The win lifts NU to 17-14 (3-3 Big Ten), while Illinois falls to 11-19 (1-6 Big Ten).
The Wildcats got on the board early, knocking around Shelese Arnold for four hits and three runs in the bottom of the first. Kristin Scharkey started things off with a walk and a stolen base. Mari Majam followed with an RBI single just past Jessica Davis up the middle, plating Scharkey. Marisa Bast made it second and third with a double off the wall in left field, before Arnold struck out Letourneau for the first out. The `Cats scored a second run on a passed ball, which turned out not to matter, as Anna Edwards clocked one to right center, scoring Bast. She rounded second trying to stretch it to a triple, but paid the price, getting thrown out at third on a Smith-Bauch-Repole relay. Nevertheless, Northwestern was out on top, 3-0, after one.
Despite the three-run hole, the Illini had plenty of opportunities to get back in the game, getting at least two runners on base in every inning due to eight walks, two hit batters and an error. However, Letourneau registered her second Big Ten no-hitter in eight days, striking out eight Illini and keeping the Orange and Blue from getting that clutch RBI.
Arnold settled in after the first inning, allowing just one hit and no runs over the next three frames. However, Bast led off the bottom of the fifth with a double to the gap in left center. After the Illini got two big outs in the outfield, Andrea DiPrima picked up the two-out RBI on a single to shallow center to start a key two-out rally for the `Cats. Brianna LeBeau kept it going with an infield single and Meghan Lamberth loaded the bases on an error by Davis, whose view on the ball was obstructed by the runner heading to third. Olivia Duehr then roped a bases-clearing double to centerfield to send three unearned runs across the plate, and Scharkey finished it off, as Remeny Perez dropped Katie Repole's throw from third to allow the eighth run to score and cut the game short.
Jessica Davis walked three times in the game, Jess Perkins walked twice, and Alex Booker walked to load the bases in the fourth, but without putting the ball in play, the Illini could not get it done.
Majam, Bast and DiPrima all went 2-for-3 in the game, as Arnold allowed nine hits and three walks, striking out three and giving up four earned runs in 4.2 innings.
The Illini return to Drysdale Field on Saturday for game two of the three-game series, with first pitch slated for 1 p.m. Northwestern will broadcast the game on WNUR, which you can hear on 83.9 FM in the Chicagoland area or online at WNUR.org.

Putz works perfect inning, Arizona wins
"I felt all right. I certainly didn't have the best stuff. I was rushing a little bit and left some pitches over the middle of the plate and got hurt with them. You try to battle through it and try to make adjustments. Unfortunately, I didn't make the adjustments soon enough. It's one outing, You learn from it and move on and focus on the getting ready for the next time and hopefully I'll have a little better results."
Note: Royals shortstop Joaquin Arias was pulled after two innings with a hamstring injury. Yost said he hurt it while trying to stretch a single into a double in the second inning.

What a wonderful game you have. Great work. To bad my PC isn't beefy enough to play it...
StarForge is a sci fi survival sandbox. Hunt to eat, dig for resources, craft many items, build a fort, and fight enemies in order to survive! Do this alone, or with other players, in a fully infinite procedural world.
Try out our new build of StarForge. It contains inventories, crafting, a new canyon level, the SF store, plus much more!
Posted by wsworin on Sep 20th, 2012
We have released the new update for StarForge. It contains many new features such as ingame inventories and a main menu system. It was alot of work developing, as we had to make many design decisions along the way. However, we hope everyone enjoys it and please let us know what you think!
What's Changed In Version 0.1.5a:
- New atmosphere and cloud system. Much more optimized than our last and should work on all computers.
- You can now buy items in our online store and play with them in-game
- 2 New 3D Leaf Tilesets can be bought in our store
- Full Inventory/Crafting system
- Full main menu system and In-Game Menu system
- Hologram system for placing objects, "E" key to delete objects, use scroll wheel to move hologram forward or back, and hold down left mouse to rotate hologram before placing.
- In Game Web Browser supporting flash and secure HTTPS
- L-Shape turret, will be useful for stopping vehicles in the future.
- Many tweaks and fixes to the physics movement system
- Enemies use physics to hurt you now
- Death and Blood
- New Canyon Level
- Multiple enemy sizes
- Space background improved
- Dynamic wind effects while falling and dynamic reverb
- Alot of other backend changes for optimization ect.
Some Notes:
- You can create infinite blocks and place them. Just go to the crafting screen, click on the blocks, then click the craft button. They will now be in your inventory where you can place them on hotkey slots.
- When in the inventory, simply click with you mouse to pick up an entire stack of your crafted gear. By holding and dragging you will only move one at a time.
- You will have to log in to play. Please let the store page(the one that loads after you login) load up fully, this is required for authentication.
- Digging is disabled for this update. It will be in a future update.
Known Bugs:
- Our menu currently has a bug where you have to hit the main menu twice after being in the browser.
- Your gun shoots if equipped while your in the inventory
Please follow the game for more info at:
What a wonderful game you have. Great work. To bad my PC isn't beefy enough to play it...

Archive for the 'Greenville North Carolina' tag
Greenville, North Carolina, 1961
Late January 1961, Greenville, North Carolina, saw a little snow, though apparently not enough to shut everything down, as we see from this group of photos from the East Carolina University Digital Archives showing the intersection of Fifth and Evans, above, and Third and Evans, below. In fact, it appears that everybody's conducting their business as usual downtown on these days. What do you see here?
Greenville, North Carolina, 1954
As we can see from this photo from the East Carolina University's Digital Collections, Greenville, North Carolina, got a little festive for the holiday season with plenty of decorations along Evans Street. We'd posit that the photo shows frantic holiday shoppers hitting up the downtown stores, but the photo is dated November 30, and our previous glimpses of downtown Greenville in the Fifties and Sixties show about this much traffic during the rest of the year. So what do you see here?
Greenville, North Carolina, 1966
From our last look at Greenville, North Carolina's Evans Street – and from the modern-day street view – we know that Evans is a one-way street headed north. What we don't know after examining this February 1966 photo of Evans Street from the East Carolina University digital collections, is exactly where on Evans Street it was taken. What do you see here?
Greenville, North Carolina, 1960
Typically, these carspotting exercises of ours represent singular moments in time, frozen for us to examine like a fly in amber. We can guess at a lot of what's going on in the photos and start to piece together the story, but to get a clearer idea, we could use a little more context, like perhaps a second photo of the same place at about the same time, as we see with these two shots of Greenville, North Carolina's Fifth and Evans Streets, dated November 1960, as found on East Carolina University's Digital Collections. Which photo preceded the other, we're not sure, but perhaps there are some clues in the scene. What do you see here?
Greenville, North Carolina, 1964
Unless Da Grump moved down to Greenville, North Carolina, in the early to mid-1960s to start a used car business while at the same time campaigning Super Stock Dodges With Dave Strickler out of Pennsylvania, this ain't the same Bill Jenkins. The less-famous Bill Jenkins, though, certainly had a wider variety of vehicles to play with, as we see in this photo we came across first on Annualmobiles and then later on East Carolina University's Digital Collections. What do you see here?
Greenville, North Carolina, 1964
Why buy fruit cake? Because the banner told ya to. That is, the banner strung across some downtown street in Greenville, North Carolina, circa November 1964, as we see in this photo from the East Carolina University Digital Collections. But where to buy fruit cake? That might be the question on the mind of the woman apparently wandering aimlessly down the middle of the street. What do you see here?
Also, tank. But not tank. Also not Weasel.
Greenville, North Carolina, 1960s
The last time we rummaged through the photos over on Annualmobiles, we came across a driver's ed car from Greenville, North Carolina, and now we see a photo from the used car lot at Phelps Chevrolet in Greenville, perhaps the same dealership where the service bays photo was taken. Phelps Chevrolet is still around today on South Memorial Drive, but if that sign with the mileage to Ayden and Kinston is to be trusted, the dealership has moved across the street since then. What do you see here?

In Aiken case, Houston is the problem
Amidst allegations by Close and the players union that the Astros tried to manipulate the draft system by lowering their offer to Aiken as part of a plan to be able to offer more to fifth-round pick Jacob Nix, it is just to acknowledge the team has denied wrongdoing and that MLB has backed the Astros.
But it sure seems dirty.
For some context, consider this is the first time since 1983 that the top draft pick has gone unsigned. Tim Belcher, represented by Scott Boras, and the Minnesota Twins couldn't come to terms that year.
Not in 31 years has it happened again, and it would be hard to imagine it ever being this slimy.
Well, except maybe in Houston.

Product description
Corrie McAfee50 Harbor StreetCedar Cove, Washington Dear Reader, Considering that I'm married to Cedar Cove's private investigator, you might think I enjoy mysteries. But I don't--especially when they involve us! Roy's been receiving anonymous postcards and messages asking if we "regret the past." We don't know what they mean.... On a more positive note, we're both delighted that our daughter, Linnette, has moved to Cedar Cove to work at the new medical clinic. A while ago I attended the humane society's "Dog and Bachelor Auction," where I bought her a date with Cal Washburn, who works at Cliff Harding's horse farm. Unfortunately Linnette is less enthusiastic about this date than I am. Speaking of Cliff, the romance between him and Grace Sherman is back on. But that's only one of the many interesting stories here in Cedar Cove. So why don't you drop by for a coffee at my husband's office on Main Street or our house on Harbor and I'll tell you everything that's new! "Corrie"
