Free Will Middlebrooks? Not Yet, but Maybe Soon
The 2012 season has not been kind to Kevin Youkilis thus far. The gritty Boston Red Soxthird baseman has had to deal with a media frenzy created by some careless remarks from Bobby Valentine concerning his emotional involvement in the game and he is currently hitting just .200/.268/.300. His mobility at third base has been issue for the Sox infield defense and his health seems questionable once again as a groin injury has nagged him since the year began. Worst of all, he now has Will Middlebrooks breathing down his neck.
The Red Sox top prospect is coming of an excellent 2011 season where he tore three minor league levels. He spent most of his time in AA, hitting .302/.345/.520 with 18 home runs. He is currently dominating AAA hitting .371/.413/.757, with 8 home runs in just 75 plate appearances. He was already an excellent fielding third baseman with great baseball instincts and could certainly improve the Red Sox fielding at third. Between Youk's struggles and Middlebrooks incredible offensive production, it seems fair to ask, "is now the time to bring up Will Middlebrooks?"
Tempting as it may be for frustrated Red Sox fans, the answer is no. Or rather- not yet.
There are two factors at work here. First, the Red Sox are going to be a better team if Kevin Youkilis can be something close to the hitter he has been thus far in his career. Middlebrooks is a very promising player, but very few players ever reach the level of production Youkilis regularly contributed in his prime. From 2007-2011 he was the 12th best hitter in baseball by wRC+ (139), just ahead of Mark Teixeira and David Ortiz. He was the 17th best player overall by fWAR, averaging 4.7 WAR per year. Even last season, in a down year, Youk was still 26% better than average at the plate and worth 3.7 fWAR. His defense is now a liability but he can easily overcome that with his combination of patience, contact and power at the plate.
While there are relevant signs suggesting that Youk's current struggles could be an early sign of decline, it is far too soon to give up on a player with his track record. The Red Sox need Youkilis to get the vast majority of plate appearances from the third base position for at least three to four more weeks. In that time if his peripherals continue to display eroding skills, Boston can then consider the making Middlebrooks the full time third baseman. It is far more likely that Youkilis rebounds enough to keep his hold on the position into June.
That would benefit the Red Sox and Middlebrooks. WMB has a ton of potential, but his pitch recognition and plate approach is still developing. Unlike the uber-patient Youkilis, Middlebrooks is very aggressive at the plate. He may be able crush AAA mistake pitches at this point, but major league pitchers will make fewer mistakes and work out of the zone to make him swing and miss. Strikeouts can be an issue for Middlebrooks and while he has the plate coverage and contact ability to succeed without great control over the zone, he still needs development at the plate. If he does continue to light up AAA pitchers through May and June he could force the Red Sox hand, but he needs to show that kind of ability and that kind of want to prove he can handle taking his lumps in the major leagues.
There is also the issue of Kevin Youkilis' trade value. If the team were to replace Youkilis in the next week or two, his value on trade market would plummet to an all time low. If Middlebrooks is destined to replace Youkilis this season, the Red Sox could use leverage Youkilis' remaining value to bolster their flailing bullpen or even upgrade the starting rotation. Youkilis would be far better off at first base at this point and a team like the Nationals, Brewers, or the Dodgers could certainly bolster their playoff hopes with the grinding righty on the roster. If Youk doesn't play, he can't help the team on the field or in trade.
Right now Middlebrooks gives Boston some needed insurance should Youkilis get hurt or fail to rebound entirely. By the end of the season, he could even be the team's everyday third baseman. Despite the agonizing state of the team right now and the poor start from Kevin Youkilis, patience is still needed.

In a couple of weeks, I'll be celebrating my 6 month blogaversary. Sheesh, have I learned a lot in that time. I've talked to (and sometimes helped) a whole new bunch of customers, I've found several blogs from Exchange administrators that have provided for some great reading, I started the Exchange blog which is slowly gaining readership and sparking discussions inside the team, and overall have had a great time learning from everyone in the blogosphere and getting my team involved in said sphere.
One of the things I frequently come up against is the split of the readers and writers in this world (which is still fairly brave and new to me, but perhaps not to many of you). Obviously there's a whole lot of the developer types, and it's so exciting to see the vibrant community they have built and the relationships they have with each other. (I have a confession to make... I didn't know who Don Box was untill I started reading blogs.)
But unfortunately there aren't many of us who blog about IT issues (inside the company or out), at least that I have seen. I saw this post from Jonathan Hardwick that reminded me of a couple of things I've been meaning to talk about:
#1: MOM is a great product and the management pack for Exchange 2003 is available for free, which is nice. We had a team of folks working diligently throughout the Exchange 2003 product cycle to add logic in the e2k3 management pack that notifies administrators when care and feeding of the Exchange servers is needed. Jim was an intern on the management pack last summer (BTW, Jim, I was working on a different project last summer, which is probably why we never met... in the ship party photo I'm one of the leftmost people in black shirts and I'm the only one holding a 3 week old, if that helps ;-).
#2: If you blog about IT-related issues (let's limit it to server technologies for the moment, since OfficeZealot already does such a great job aggregating office blogs), add a comment here with a link to your blog. I'd like to at least get a list started, and then I'll figure out what to do with it.
Wow, if I have you correct in the picture (i didn't see Jared in the picture), I am the 4th person to the right of you (the one leaning forward looking somewhat goofy (this wasn't the best pricture of me). :)
And just to add a little more information, I am right in the center of where the two "lines" intersect in the T.
My favorite IT weblogger has to be Mike McBride at Life of a One-Man IT Department.
Thanks Anita!
Also FMI: http://itmanager.blogs.com
Hi KC,
I just started a webblog about SBS and SMB related issues that I deal with or find interesting. Hope it helps!
I'm considering starting a blog about life in a large international corporate IT department--technical stuff, staff and management perception of products, technical directions, trends, etc. But not developer stuff--that's out of my area--more infrastructure. Not sure if there are many out there... I'm wondering if there would be any interest in reading it. What would Microsoft teams be interested in reading I wonder?
Hmmm, I blog about lots of IT things, along with other topics. I'm an IT director at a software company, and have found people are interested in reading about this kind of stuff. I don't have a separate bog just for IT though. Perhaps I should split one off.
http://www.greghughes.net/ and/or http://www.greghughes.net/rant/CategoryView.aspx?category=Tech for a slightly filtered list.
Makes me think now about new topics for blogging. I could write plenty of exchange stuff (as could my exchange admin I am sure), and tons about SharePoint, not to mention anything Windows 2003 or IT-management related.
I might also be able to host a list if needed.
K: Sure, go for it - That sounds interesting to me. One of the things I would like to know more about is how the people who own the exchange servers and the people who deploy outlook work together (if they're not the same).
Greg: Close enough =) I don't just blog about IT either. I'd love to read more about exchange via your blog and your admin's, if you can get that person to blog too. The more the merrier.
I'd also add
Jeremy Wright: http://www.ensight.org/
Gund Kata: http://www.livejournal.com/users/gund_kata/
You don't even want to get me started on our environment...
Groupware: Exchange
Directory Services: eDirectory
Node Management: ZENworks
Patch Management: Ecora Patch Manager
Allocation Management: StorageCentral / NorthernStorageSuite
Terminal Services: Citrix
... And it all works together! It's a thing of art, really. 25,000 employees across 15 sites and this all works. Craziness.
Anyways, thanks Jonathan for the mention. Yeah, feel free to add me to any IT list. I have about 100 more here: http://bloglines.com/public/ensight
Feel free to poach :)
Forgot one :)

Gite D'Etape: Good base for exploring off the beaten track
We stayed at this Gite for 1 night as part of our tour with Exodus travel. This was probably one of my favourite parts of the tour.
After spending some time in Telouet , we drove a further 20 minutes, then transferred our overnight bags to the waiting mules.
Our hours walk gave us the chance to enjoy the mountain scenery, and see some of life in the villages that we passed through, it was quite a relief though to reach our gite- the walk is all uphill!
Basic accomodation- mattresses on the floor in rooms of 2, 4 or 6. (Pillows and bedding provided)
Toilets -western and hole in the ground style.
Showers - hot (first one free) and cold. Plus communal wash basin.
Meals were eaten in a narrow dining room, with a low table and cushions (leave your shoes outside) Good selection of breakfast foods including porridge, 3 course lunch and evening meal, were also good.
No alcohol is allowed at the Gite, but there are soft drinks - mint tea and coffee available.
Small shop in the foyer selling post cards, chocolate, snacks etc - just write what you've bought on a list, then pay on departure.
Great views over the valley and mountains from the terraces. I especially enjoyed the early morning sitting waiting for the sun rise.
It is so peaceful and quiet, that any noise travels! Mules, donkeys, cockerels, goats etc provided an alarm call! An unmade sandy road passes under the gite, so from about 4am, there was the intermittant sound of villagers walking or riding donkeys- I quite liked the muffled sound of the hooves clomping on the hollow sounding path, with their owner muttering a whispered command or low whistle.
Some of our party planned to sleep outside on the terrace - sleeping mats were provided, however only 3 stuck it out - apparently it was a full moon, so it was like sleeping under a floodlight!
As I was awake, I decided to get up and watch the sunrise, which I'm pleased that I did.
Good base for walks in the mountains or down to the villages.
The staff in the Gite will also take pens, exercise books etc. to the local school. Some of our party donated their sleeping bags, fleece tops etc.

Gite D'Etape: Views from the Gite
As I've mentioned in my previous tip, one of the main attractions of this Gite is its location. The terrace offers a grandstand view over the valley. I'd recommend getting up very early, to enjoy watching the village come to life below you. I should imagine being here to watch the sunset would be as atmospheric - Unfortunately alcohol isn't allowed here, as a 'sundowner' would be the perfect accompaniment!
To be continued...

come for coffee or stay overnight
Budget accommodation of varying levels of budget - dorms to share or have your own room.
Cold in winter - if you can get there as it can occasionally have snow to these levels then make sure you have warm clothes - lots of layers and woollens. At least have one big bottle of bottled water with you on arrival.
Its about a one hour drive from Telouet with its turn off just before arriving at Anmiter and follows along the left of a deep river valley that Anmiter sits almost at the bottom of. Its a gravel road all the way since leaving the bitumen at the turn off from the Telouet-Anmiter road but we have done each drive - and theres been several - by conventional car. The Lonely Planet guide says to park your car and walk an hour or find a donkey but thats not actually the case. Theres also several 4 wheel drive tour companies that include this place on their itinerary and therefore get there by 4x4wheel which of course is great for the potential adverse weather or road conditions should there have been heavy rains or snow.
There are a couple of water crossings - one is a river which we have manouvred and only once were we concerned but locals nearby waded across and showed us how deep it was at the time - the other is most of the times just a minor creek or trickle which at its worst creates a bit of a muddy road.
But any problems or assistance needed contact Abdelrazah down at the Anmiter Auberge.
Great views, huge balconies - enjoy coffee or mint tea overlooking the green valley below surrounding by hills and mountains. Quiet and breath in the very fresh air!
Off the beaten track and get to see where the mountain Berbers of Morocco live - berber villages and villagers making a living out here in the remote and tough areas behind TizinTickha and mid-Atlas mountains.

New York City officials on Monday introduced a bill that would raise the legal age for purchasing cigarettes from 18 to 21. "The more difficult it is for (young people) to gain access to tobacco products, the less likely they are to start smoking," City Council Speaker Christine Quinn said.

Alternative work hours
Alternative work hours can include a range of work options such as compressed work weeks, earned days off, flex time, staggered work hours, and reduced work hours. They are an important means for encouraging a broader workplace strategy to reduce single occupancy vehicle trips.
If carefully implemented alternative work hours can have a dramatic effect on the morning and evening peak commute periods. For example, if an employer changes the work schedule from 5 days per week and 8 hours per day to 4 days per week and 10 hours per day, it can instantly cut commuting by 20%.
Alternative work hours don't necessarily reduce the volume of vehicle kilometres travelled, however it does help ease congestion and reduce the number of commuters on the road in the peak travel times, which can help traffic flow and reduce idling time. And it provides a four-day work-week option that many employees dream of! Alternative work hours can be part of a comprehensive workplace trip reduction strategy and a benefit to both employers and employees in many of the same ways that telework is a benefit.

Is it really worth the $500 more than the the ST50 series plasmas?
Why did someone thumbs down this price? This is the latest and greatest 2012 Flagship TV from Panasonic and the cheapest you can find is $2500. At $2000, with no tax, no recycle fee and free shipping, this is a great price. I'm not sure if Amazon will require white glove delivery which usually cost an extra $99. The EPP price on this is $2250 can some Panasonic employee confirm the new price becaue it may have gone down too?
And yes it is worth more than $500 if you want the best TV of the year. This won the Annual HDTV Shootout recently done by Value Electronics and CNET editors were there. Winning over the Sharp Elite in most categories and only lost by a hair in contrast and black level. It handily beats the Elite though in price. I wish they have a 50" available in the US. That would probably have saved me another $500 from the 55"

I refuse to pay big bucks for the best. 90% performance at a reasonable price is a SD! The $450 LG 50PA4500 at Frys fits this bill. The in-room picture is very good once properly calibrated. Put the $ saved in the bank to buy another "value" HDTV in five years, which will definitely outperform this Panasonic.
Never pay top $ for high end electronics because there will always be better/cheaper stuffs just around the corner.

Staff Correspondent
Contractor has promised the authorities to complete the construction work within 25 days
Work at Kottara Chowki held up for technical reasons
Flyovers to come up on B.C. Road and at Maroli
MANGALORE: The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) will allow two-way traffic on the new flyover at Kuntikana here by the month-end, according to its Mangalore Project Director, P.N. Gawasane.
Mr. Gawasane told The Hindu on Friday that the authorities of IRCON International Ltd., the agency constructing the flyover, had assured the NHAI that the flyover would be completed within 25 days. However, painting, marking of lines and erection of signboards would be done after the rainy season, he said and added that this was the first flyover coming up in Dakshina Kannada.
Service roads
Once traffic was allowed on the flyover, work on service roads could be speeded up, he said.
Mr. Gawasane said that in addition to the Kuntikana grade separator, flyovers would be constructed at Surathkal, Kuloor, Kottara Chowki, Nanthoor, Maroli (Kulashekara) and B.C. Road. Of them, the construction work at Nanthoor was yet to begin. Work was in various stages of progress in other places, he said.
Kottara Chowki
The Project Director said that the engineers had come across a problem in completing the flyover at Kottara Chowki. The soil up to a depth of nine metres on either side of the flyover was weak and the approaches to it might not withstand the load of vehicles. Hence, the consultant was working out alternative techniques for constructing the approaches.
Asked why the consultant had not studied this aspect beforehand, he said they had taken only samples of the soil while preparing the project. However, the tests conducted subsequently, before taking up the work, had brought to light the fact that the soil there was not suitable for the kind of work being contemplated. Hence, the engineers had to think of some alternative technique to fill the land before taking up the construction of the flyover, he said.
Other flyovers
Mr. Gawasane said that the work on the flyover at Surathkal had been delayed owing to a pending court case on land acquisition. Work on the Kuloor flyover could be speeded up only after the Mangalore City Corporation authorities shifted the huge water supply pipeline there. In addition, a private party had to shift a religious shrine. Works on flyovers on B.C. Road and at Maroli were under way, he said.

Amy Pearl makes photos and videos for WNYC. She worked at the New York Post as a copy kid in high school. Fresh out of college, Pearl was ...
Love it? Hate it? Don't understand it? It's the "family bed," a place where parents sleep happily--or fitfully--with their kids. While there's no clear research about whether a family bed helps or hinders sleep, in WNYC's own sleep survey, people who sleep with their kids reported going to bed earlier, on average, than other research participants. To get a sense of what life is like for acolytes of the family bed, we went into the bedrooms of three New York City families. Here are their stories.
THE OROZCO FAMILY: Bronx, NY
Xavier Orozco called into Brian's show looking for advice for how to manage his two children's sleep. Xavier and his wife Maria live in a one-bedroom apartment in the Bronx with their two children, 1-year-old Paola, and 3-year old Mateo. Sharing a bedroom makes keeping the kids out of mom and dad's bed a challenge.
"Worst thing about a family bed is, we don't have any more privacy," says Maria Theresa Orozco. The Orozcos put their kids to sleep every night in the family's full size bed and then move them into their crib and toddler bed. But the kids don't always stay put. "It's like a rollercoaster," says Washington Orozco about the machinations of who sleeps where.
THE ATKINS FAMILY: Brooklyn, NY
"I always describe it as the path of least resistance," says Alexandra Atkins. When her first daughter Ophilia was born, she slept in bed with her parents and when the next baby came, she did, too. Now Ophilia, spends most nights in her own bed but sometimes climbs in "with mommy and daddy." Dad Mike will occasionally sleep in his daughter's twin bed.
THE PLEUNE FAMILY: Brooklyn, NY
re: Sleep reporting
Your study appears to leave out a major sub-category of people suffering sleep deficiency:narcolepsy.I have suffered from this syndrome since I was in my twenties, but it went unrecognized until recent years. Probably some share of listeners who report sleep problems have undiagnosed or untreated narcolepsy. Nobody has developed a cure, but now there is medication that moderates the symptoms: Provigil. Sufferers should talk wth their doctor.
Also, your bar chart categories are folksy, but I suspect do not accurately reflect what the bars depict. They are not mutually exclusive and/or clear explanations.

Why Richard Dawkins is still an atheist
By PAULA KIRBY - WASHINGTON POST ON FAITH
Added: Wed, 29 Feb 2012 16:54:26 UTC
In October 2008 I attended a lecture by the Christian apologist John Lennox. He could hardly contain his excitement because the previous week he had publicly debated Richard Dawkins, and Dawkins had allegedly made two remarks that had 'stunned' him because they seemed, Lennox said, to suggest the world's 'atheist-in-chief' was experiencing a major change of heart.
According to Lennox, Dawkins had conceded a) that he had no difficulty with Einstein's God, in the sense of God being the laws of physics and b) that "a strong case could be made for a deistic God." And what this meant, declared Lennox, almost bursting a blood vessel in his missionary zeal, was that Dawkins had a sense that there must have been an intelligence to account for the beginning of things; and Lennox went on to insinuate that Dawkins was in the process of abandoning atheism and was well on his way to becoming a deist - at least: "There's a lot going on with Richard Dawkins at the moment!", he announced ecstatically, leaving his overwhelmingly Christian audience with high hopes of a full conversion to Jesus at any moment.
To anyone who had actually read The God Delusion, this was rather amusing, since there was nothing here that wasn't in the book, so talk of changes of heart was wishful thinking at best; but to anyone who, like me, had heard the earlier debate, it was also an example of egregious quote-mining. What Richard had actually said was:
"The deist God would be one that I think it would be - one could make a reasonably respectable case for that, not a case that I would accept, but I think it is a serious discussion that we could have." (Emphasis mine.)
He went on to contrast this idea with Christianity, for which, by implication, not even a "reasonably respectable case" could be made. (At the time of writing you can hear the full debate for yourself by clicking here.)
There is absolutely nothing in this or elsewhere in Richard's debate comments that suggests a conversion to deism - much less Christianity. Indeed, describing arguments for deism as 'not a case that I would accept' is pretty categorical. Yet there was John Lennox, practically killing the fatted calf.

The parallels with this week's press hysteria over Richard's description of himself as agnostic in his discussion with the Archbishop of Canterbury are, I hope, obvious. Religious commentators have become so excited at the thought of his conversion that I almost don't have the heart to break it to them that he said nothing in Thursday's discussion that he hadn't already said six years ago in The God Delusion. You'll find the relevant section in Chapter 2, including the seven-point scale where one represents total certainty that there is a God and seven represents total certainty that there is not. Right there Richard writes,
"I count myself in category 6, but leaning towards 7 - I am agnostic only to the extent that I am agnostic about fairies at the bottom of the garden."
And how did he describe himself to the archbishop on Thursday, in his supposedly stunning retreat from atheism? "I'd put myself at 6.9."
Concession? Conversion? The answer to Christian prayers? Hardly! It was as clear a restatement of the position he took in The God Delusion as you could wish for.
So how can this be? How can an atheist also be an agnostic? The answer is simple.

Do you celebrate Halloween? If so, what are your plans? Are you taking the kids truck or treating, going to a party? Will you be dressing up? Do you hand out candy? Do you decorate your house and yard?
I don't have any little ones to take truck or treating but we have moved to a neighborhood with lots of little kids. We sit at the end if the driveway and pass out candy (we have to as our house sits sideways on the lot). I like to see the costumes. My rule is if someone is dressed up, they get candy. I don't care how old you are.
I don't decorate the yard but I would like to some day. We have some neighbors that go all out.

Mixed introduces an inherent contradiction between the bolded bits in your response. It purports to be competitive, but then puts together people on the court who are NOT evenly matched. Do you really think a 3.5 woman is "relatively evenly matched" with a 4.5 man? Really? But yet this is a common pairing in 8.0 mixed.

Twas the day before Christmas and all over the town not a creature was verbing, not even a noun. In his grave spins Clement Clarke Moore and you've got another cheesy column in store. I just had to do it on Christmas Eve Day, so let's get all this out of the way.
There's a jolly old man who visits each year but this time he might have some trouble, I fear. His flight plan is very precise, as is his formula for naughty or nice. If it's not right down to the sec we could end up with a jolly old wreck!
There's a crossing just west of town where the motorists just refuse to slow down. Winchester and 10th, a daredevil's shrine and they still refuse to put up a sign! Santa Claus won't be coming by with a drop because he's still not sure when he needs to stop! I hear the jam extends into the sky — he's got to compete with things flying by.
The big man eats at that one famous Inn, but it's shut down now, how long has it been? In Britain, he gets a nice mince pie to sit in his gut as he flies through the sky. In Holland they leave carrots and hay, so the reindeer can pull the sleigh. Americans leave him things that are sweet, though I think we should leave him some meat. This year leave Santa a burger with peanut butter so he can be energetic when he slips off the gutter.
Downtown Sedalia is a tough notion, too — it didn't go so well the last time he flew. He did a trial run on Thanksgiving night and he ended up with quite a fright. On the roof of the Hotel Bothwell, an extravagant fire attack began to swell. There he was, in the atmosphere and he went home with a few singed reindeer.
And what's worse were the lights, the deer weren't used to seeing those brights! They trained at night, to fly at night and that's the only way they would do it right! But the Streetscape lights that mimicked the day just seemed to do nothing but get in the way.
But I think that the most likely reason of all was the fear that his landing pad might fall. Everyone knows that Santa lands on the roof, and those downtown buildings could fall with a poof. The sleigh is heavy — most people don't know! Not to mention it accumulates snow! If you want a picture of trouble, imagine the big man in a pile of rubble! His strange elven magic would help him escape, but it wouldn't happen with nary a scrape. He'd rise out of the pile of bricks and dust as long as his magic spleen didn't bust.
The legends say he's got only one bag, but he's got a second when he hits a snag. A pile of building, dead in the snow — into the infinite bag it would go. There is an elf that handles his calls and he told me to call back when we worked on the walls.
But you should know he's adjusted before — he's got mighty fine elves in his Christmas Corps. Through rain, sleet, snow or hail, he'll deliver what you mail. Wait, that's not right! That is those guys with sleighs of white! Through sleet, hail, rain or snow; he can find you wherever you go. Chimney or not, no difference to him — even if he's caught or the lights are dim.
There is no way to stop Santa Claus — he doesn't really follow laws. "I do all my business as Santa Claus Inc.," he isn't afraid to admit with a wink.

Kat Graham Previews A 'Powerful' Turn of Events
Yahoo RSS feed
This has been an interesting season of The Vampire Diaries for Bonnie Bennett, who, despite factoring into the overall year-long mystery of finding the cure for vampirism, has been segregated from the main characters as she works on harnessing her magic.
But according to Kat Graham, Bonnie is about to come into focus in a big way as she not only regains full control over her powers, but could potentially use them for with potentially polarizing effects!
ETonline: Hey Kat, how's it going?
Kat Graham: Good, I'm driving from Cleveland, Ohio to Detroit to visit some radio stations and meeting a few fans, hanging out with some locals.
ETonline: Congrats on the Wanna Say music video? You look amazing in it!
Graham: Thank you so much! That means a lot coming from you, because you remember my terrible videos [laughs]. We won't talk about those, but I'm really proud of this. From the director to the choreography to the track, I think everyone did a killer job!
RELATED - 12 Best TV Shows of 2012
ETonline: Logistically, how did you work on the song and the video while shooting The Vampire Diaries?
Graham: It just kind of works. The show doesn't go around my music schedule -- I don't even ask to get cleared most of the time because the show has such a grueling schedule. But, I'm actually not in episode 416, the episode they're shooting now, and they had scheduled to release the video on January 18, and I wrapped on January 17 by coincidence. Sheer blessing, total fate.
ETonline: I feel like Bonnie's had a lighter workload this season; did that help at all?
Graham: You know what's funny, we're on episode 17, and for me, it might have been light in the beginning, but this episode [off] has been a godsend. I haven't had any days off in forever -- it gets really Bonnie heavy this season, and you'll see some crazy, crazy Bonnie stuff. I always tell Julie [Plec, executive producer], you have to write what you're inspired to write. I think she's got a better hold on the show than anyone and she's been very inspired to write all this incredible stuff recently -- and it shows. This show can't be forced, it's so smooth and there's such huge storylines coming up.

ETonline: And Bonnie's dad is now the Mayor!
Graham: It's funny, the fans have no problem writing Julie or me or Mark Pedowitz [president of The CW] to let us know what they see for the character [laughs]. They are not shy with their opinions and they've always wanted to see Bonnie's dad. So it's been really cool ... I think I'm the only character on the show with both her parents still alive! Who'd have thought that!

The Pashupatastra (IAST: Pāśupatāstra, sanskrit: पाशुपतास्त्र), in Hindu History, is an irresistible and most destructive personal weapon of Shiva and Kali, discharged by the mind, the eyes, words, or a bow. Never to be used against lesser enemies or by lesser warriors, the Pashupatastra is capable of destroying creation and vanquishing all beings. Pashupatastra is the weapon of Pashupatinath, the most important of all Shiva temples, located in Kathmandu, Nepal.
In the Mahabharata Arjuna obtained this weapon from Lord Shiva but did not use it because this weapon would destroy the entire world, if used against a mortal enemy. Arjun used this astra to slay Jayadaratha. It is said that the mantra to obtain and discharge the astra is sealed by Shiva to prevent its misuse in the Kali Yuga. It is said that no one in the three worlds can resist lord Shiva when he shows his prowess.Apart from Arjun,no other warrior possessed this weapon.
A Narrative from KMG translation of Mahabharat regarding the power of Pashupatastra:
O thou of mighty arms, that weapon(Pashupatastra) is superior to the Brahma, the Narayana, the Aindra, the Agneya, and the Varuna weapons. Verily, it is capable of neutralising every other weapon in the universe. It was with that weapon that the illustrious Mahadeva had in days of yore, burnt and consumed in a moment the triple city of the Asuras. With the greatest ease, O Govinda, Mahadeva, using that single arrow, achieved that feat. That weapon, shot by Mahadeva's arms, can, without doubt consume in half the time taken up by a twinkling of the eyes the entire universe with all its mobile and immobile creatures. In the universe there is no being including even Brahma and Vishnu and the deities, that are incapable of being slain by that weapon.
Using this weapon,the heroic Arjun could have ended the kurukshetra war in moments.

Valve calls Xbox Live a 'train wreck'
It's surprising to see a strong supporter of the Xbox 360 talk disparagingly about the platform. Valve boss Gabe Newell vented recently over Xbox Live and its complicated internal politics.
According to CVG, Gabe Newell admitted hoping that Microsoft would change was his biggest mistake in an interview with PC Gamer. Newell's biggest complaint is over the fact that Microsoft won't allow the studio to regularly update its games for free.
When asked if Newell thought that Microsoft would eventually allow Valve to update its games more often he replied:
We thought that there would be something that would emerge, because we figured it was a sort of untenable… Oh yeah, we understand that these are the rules now, but it's such a train wreck that something will have to change.
Microsoft has complicated policies within Xbox Live that are dictated and driven by specific financial parameters. In most cases the company allows developers to make only one free update to their games via patch or marketplace. There are also restrictions to the amount of free content that can be given away by the studio.
In most cases, free content is the studios way of marketing and promoting the game even further. EPIC Games faced similar challenges with Xbox Live as Microsoft forced the studio to charge for map packs that were meant to be free.
Rockstar recently also complained about this issue as the studio was forced to bundle DLC meant to be free along with paid content. Of course to maintain a certain degree of parity with the Xbox 360, PS3 owners will receive a similar "treatment" regardless of Sony's open attitude.
Gabe Newell applauded the PS3 by stating:
That's why we're really happy with the current situation with the PS3. We're solving it now in a way that is going to work for our customers, rather than assuming something is going to emerge later that will allow us to fix this.
Valve's Erik Johnson also expressed his frustration at Xbox Live. He stated:
The lack of updates on the 360, for TF2, is also a total failure. Those are the ones that sting the worst because… it got all the way through to customers. It's like a bug. If you fix a bug before it ever ships, it's pretty cheap. If you ship it and then fix it, it's really expensive. Those ones are really bad.
Cleary the developers are not complaining about Xbox Live from a technical perspective but from a political stand point. The question remains – If Xbox Live continues to loose favor amongst major studios and even indie devs, how will it ultimately impact the consumer?

Day 3: Belgrade -Valjevo-Uzice-Visegrad-Sarajevo (435 km)
The day begins with a visit to the Kalemegdan castle. The view of the river is very nice and the castle well maintained. I spend there a couple of hours taking photos.
Returnig back to my hotel I took these shots, sad reminder of the past...
Leaving the town I see an amazing river beach. Next to the river everybody is in a bathing suit and on a bicycle or roller skates
Hm, bad boy...
The road to Valjevo begins with a good part but after a while it goes up to the mountain, it is very narrow and the tarmac is destroyed. The traffic is heavy and the average speed falls dramatically. After having a break at a nice kiosk at the top and admiring nature, I continue driving towards Uzice.
On the road again...
Finally, the road is much better and the nature is very nice. Uzice seen from above seems very nice.
Space ship?
The road passes along a river and I notice some very nice train tunnels (the Mokra gora route I suppose).
Suddenly I see a very nice pedestrian bridge made of wood and steel wires. I try to pass it and I meet a local guy who is fishing on the bridge.
Continuing, the nature gets even more beautiful and I arrive to Visegrad. The town is nice with an old and famous stone bridge.
From Visegrad begins one of the most impressing routes I have ever been to. The tarmac is good, the turns are right, the road follows the wide river, the sun reflects on the water and the road passes through dark and wet tunnels every 500m. I am driving at a medium steady speed and I feel perfect.
After driving on this fantastic route, suddenly the road is diverting due to the road works and gets really narrow, dirty and dangerous. I arrive at Sarajevo just before dark.
The gps doesn´t have Bosnia and Montenegro maps, so I start searching for my hotel which I luckily find quickly.
After resting for a while, I walk to the center of the old city. The paved pedestrian roads are very nice, there are a lot of shops with bronze items and a lot of people eating at the numerous kebab restaurants. The mixture of religions and their places of worship is impressive.
I have a very nice dinner at a well known restaurant and I admire the paintings that are hanging on the walls, painted by the owner of the restaurant!
Very good food and very cheap (13 euros for soup, main meal, salad, 2 beers!)
After that I was dead body, so I started climb the hill to the hotel...Good night...

Thanks guys! For my Greek friends here is my trip at mybike.gr http://www.mybike.gr/topic/45620-%cf...5%ce%b9%cf%82/
So let's continue...
Day 4: Sarajevo-Brod-Niksic-Kotor (300 km)
The day begins with a daylight walk around the town for more photos.
Leaving town
After that and by asking around, I manage to get out of the city towards Serbian borders and Brod. The route is interesting, the road is curvy and I`m driving through very nice nature. The colors of nature turn into gold, the farmers are stacking hay and I feel very nice.
After a while, I arrive to Brod, a small village just before the Montenegrian borders. From this point on, I enter a very narrow road going to the top of a cliff, passing through numerous dark and wet tunnels and spectacular bridges. The view of the river that runs many meters beneath is very nice. I stop continuously to take pics and to activate the on-board camera.
Early afternoon I arrive at Niksic. The town is clean and nice but nothing special as far as I can see. I ask 2-3 different guys for the road to Kotor (not through Podgorica but straight south, there is a very nice new road that leads to Risan at Kotor bay). Finally I continue towards the right direction, I pass a very nice area with many small lakes, the road is curvy with good tarmac and I enjoy the ride.
Later I find the new road to Risan which is perfect for fast driving. I have fun for half an hour and then OUAOU, the Kotor bay in front of me! The view is amazing, I get some rest and I continue going down.
The Risan is a nice small town and I continue towards Kotor, around the bay. The sea is to my right, I am driving slowly and I enjoy the nature. After a while I arrive at Dobrota next to Kotor where I can not find my hotel. I telephone the hotel but the receptionist doesn´t speak English, so I am trying to communicate in my poor Serb. Luckily I understand where the hotel is and I find it right after.
Early evening I am going to the old town of Kotor. I am impressed! There are a lot of yachts, many tourists, a lot of beautiful women, the town itself is very nice.
After having dinner, I find a nice cozy bar (see below the photo I took next morning) with live local music and I get drunk with my new friends (an American and a New Zealander, both yacht employees and a 60-year old Englishman travelling with his 2 daughters).
Its already very late when I return to the hotel and I get this brilliant idea to lubricate the bikes chain. Of course I am so wasted that I lubricate everything else but the chain

Day 5: Kotor-Budva-Split (340 km)
The day begins with unbearable hangover. I consume plenty of coffee and decide to take some morning photos of the old town.
Its hot, very hot, I am dizzy so I leave early going south to see Budva. After driving for about 1h I arrive in Budva. The old town is impressive and there is a very nice big beach just before you reach town. The tiny St. Stefan island is just opposite Budva. I understand that the whole island is a big luxurious resort
The hours pass so I must hit the road going north again. At Kotor, I use the ferry to pass to the opposite side of the bay within 5 min (the route around the bay is majestic but I don`t have the extra time needed (aprox. 1h).
I continue driving on nice tarmac, the curves are very nice and the view at the sea bellow is fantastic I enter Croatia, the road is even better, I catch myself driving dangerously so I reduce the speed and I enjoy the route.
Melt tyre...
I pass Dubrovnik, its very late and I want to reach Split a.s.a.p. so I skip entering the town (I hope some other time) but I get a close look from a telescope I find at a parking area (2 for the telescope and 1,5 for a small bottle of water, if that`s not robbery what is?!).
Anyway I continue and I finally arrive at Podstrana, a small village close to Split (6km). The hotel is very nice and clean with a nice view to the sea. I rest for a while and then visit Split. Unfortunately I forget the money and the cards in the hotel so I have to go back and return again (damaging my nerves!) The town is very nice, it looks like Kotor, a lot of yachts, tourists and beautiful women, loud music, night clubs, cozy bars, nice restaurants
I am very tired though so I head back to the hotel after having a nice dinner

Day 6: Split-Trogir-Sibenik-Zadar-Opatija
I leave Podstrana heading north and my 1st stop is at Trogir, a very nice town close to Split. Again yachts, tourists and stone walls, nice old town
I continue driving and I arrive at Sibenik. Hm, I don`t like it very much so I don`t get off the bike and I continue towards Zadar. This is my 2nd stop as I am already very hot, hungry and thirsty. The new town outside the old town walls is very cute, I drive around and finally I get in the old town. I get some nice photos and have some rest Soon I must leave again.
I am heading north, the road runs along the sea coast, the nature and the sea are magnificent and I am very happy driving on this perfect road with very good tarmac, nice well designed curves and with almost no traffic
After driving for some hours I finally arrive in Opatija. I have been here once before travelling with my wife and daughter and I remember the town which is very beautiful with an air of old age, nice previous century buildings, wide promenade by the sea, restaurants, ice cream shops
My hotel is great, I find a very nice restaurant with live jazz music and I really enjoy it!
Today there is a fest and for half an hour fireworks hit the sky. After that theres a live and loud performance of a rock band, a lot of people dancing in the front. I blend in slurping an ice cream and the night ends perfectly!

Day 7: Opatija-Postojna-Idrija-Tolmin-Bovec-Predel Pass-Hermagor-Lienz
I wake up having a bad toothache and I feel cold! I get a rich breakfast and a lot of coffee and hit the road again towards Slovenia.
At Rupa I enter this beautiful country! I love Slovenia very much, I have been here many times because my wife is Slovene, but so far I havent gone to the mountains
The nature is magnificent, I pass Postojna (I have visited the Postojna Jama before, a very impressive underground cave) and I arrive at Idrija.
Nice stop for refilling body fluids...
The nature is great and I am enjoying driving on that road! Great tarmac and curves!
I pass the Predel Pass and descent towards Italy and Treviso.
After a while I enter Austria and I pass Hermagor driving on a very nice road (not so good though as the Croatian and Slovenian tarmac) heading towards Lienz.
I arrive at Lienz late afternoon and tour the city to take some photos. Lienz is a nice small town with a cute city center.
A lot of power...
There is a live traditional band dressed in traditional clothes, singing on a stage and after that marching down the high street, so I hang around for a while.
Soon I get disappointed because as soon as the performance is over, the city is deserted! Nobodys outside! I find a pizza place to fill my stomach and later I get on the bike to return to the hotel Hm, but for my bad luck, Ive left my GPS at the hotel and I don`t remember neither the name of the hotel nor its address, so I wander around for about half an hour without finding it!
I am very tired, a little tipsy but I remember that I left a list with the hotels at my place back in Greece. I ring my wife at 1.30 a.m., I wake her up, she finds the list and she gives me the name of the hotel I find a very polite female cab driver and she leads me to my hotel. I crush on the bed dead tired This was a lesson for me so as in the future not to forget maps or GPS or hotel names

Day 8: Lienz-Grossglockner-Zell am See-Gerlos pass-Innsbruck
Today is a great day! The weather is great, my mood is perfect, I say hello to my new friend and I hit the road heading towards Grossglockner!
I am enthusiastic that I am going to ride that route!
I approach the tolls and suddenly I see a group of 8 bikers with Greek plates on their bikes! Wow, I am happy meeting these guys, we say a few words, we pay 19 expensive and we start ascending.
The nature and the view are great!!!
The road leads to a vast parking space where every type of motorcycle is parked.
When we take off our helmets and gather all together to get properly acquainted, surprise surprise! One of the Greek bikers is an old friend of mine whom I haven´t see for 15 years. We are very happy, we remember the old times (playing music in the same band and getting drunk in rock bars) while admiring the glacier!
Some of my new Greek friends..
My old friend Alexis...
After shopping some souvenirs we start to descent the mountain making a promise to come back!
You can see everu type of wheels on that mountains...
Next stop is the Edelweiss Peak where you can enjoy the panoramic view of the area. Very impressive indeed. It has got a biker´s nest on the observation tower. The altitude is about 2.500 m and I see many cyclists of all age ascending with their bicycles! Very impressive indeed!
Next stop is at Zell am See. The lake is wonderful and I get some rest at a nice lakeside café. People are laying next to the lake harvesting the sun. Some others are sailing in small boats and the scenery is tranquil and clean!
Anyway I go on because there are still many km to cover. I pass Gerlos pass enjoying the nice tarmac but I am in a hurry because its getting late and the hotel`s reception in Innsbruck closes at 7 p.m.
I arrive at Innsbruck around 8 p.m. and I find everything closed. Anxious I search for an entrance and I find a paper stuck on a door saying that the key for my room is hidden behind a cactus pot next to the entrance! Searching for the key hundreds of cactus thorns got stuck on my hand! Auch!
After that everything is easy, I rest a bit and get out for a walk around the town. Innsbruck is a very nice city, the center though closes at 11 p.m. so I must be in a hurry if I want to have some dinner. After satisfying my stomach I wander around the city center and I take some photos.
It is obvious that the quality of life here is high, everybody drives a bicycle, the car traffic is low, there are bicycle lanes off course and everything is clean and tidy. Now I must sleep though, tomorrow is going to be a long day

The building is located a 5 minute walk from the old town and the sea, which is very practical. We stayed in cosy room with many 50's decoration. Stefano was very welcoming and gave us many valuable tips about the surroundings.

Looking for an old DAOC player's point of view.
General Discussion « Guild Wars 2
DAOC was great fun, especially back in the day. I personally loved one-shotting players in the Battle Grounds. Camping Thid and just killing so many peeps was always a huge rush. Someone earlier mentioned "who has center keep?" lol... good times. Ever since then I have always played some type of stealth toon, whether assassin or bow type. I have some issues with GW2, but your question was geared towards similarities.
There are no Battle Grounds in GW2, so you do not get the chance to progress through different zones or twink out a toon by turning xp off, god I loved that, lol. Anyway, What GW2 does is give you what they call structured pvp, basically starting at level 2 you can enter and they max your guy out to level 80 and give you access to different armor sets, weapons, abilities, and so on. Which is cool, so you can test out various guys at end game play. Go figure I seem to really kick butt with the ranger so far. Although, sometimes the battles last a while going one on one and when you fight a Mesmer and they start building up clones, it can get a little confusing, lol. I still haven't been beat yet in one on one. So, it is fun for me, but nothing like the brutal killing in DAOC, but then again, GW2 has only be available for BWE and stress tests.
Switch over to the "End Game" map and it is really cool you can enter at level two. They bolster you up to 80, but you only have abilities for whatever level you where when you entered. So, if you come in at level 2, you have the power and hit points, but not the abilities to make you shine. That is kind of a drag, but once you get up there it should be a lot more fun, I hope.
So, if you liked the end game in DAOC, then you will find a lot of similarities and you don't have to level up a character to get into the action. However, if Battle Grounds is where your fun was had, then maybe Warhammer Online would be more to your liking.
For me, I will play GW2, but I don't think it will shine for me as DAOC or Warhammer or even Shadowbane did.
10,000 Or gw2?
General Discussion « Guild Wars 2
Well, at this rate it appears 10K will come before GW2. I am looking forward to this game. I keep trying to find some filler game in the mean time, but just can't really seem to locate one.
any updated thoughts on this game ?
General Discussion « Kingdom Heroes
In October of 2011 I played this game. I lasted about a week before I stopped. I had to keep telling myself it was a free game, because it doesn't offer all the pvp options of today's subscription games. Of course with many of the paid games going to a F2P model there is a lot to choose from now. I will say this game was fun for a while and it does have enough polish to be up there with the big boys, it just lacks certain pvp features that I have come to expect. The concept is great and you feel like you are playing a game on the verge of something big, but alas it just doesn't seem to quite make it there.
Now, I only played about 7-10 days and didn't spend a penny on it, so I don't know about all the end game features and I am more of a pvp player.
As for would I go back to the game? No, not unless some big company took it over and put some time into it. It does have a lot of potential.
Addicting, however
General Discussion « Evony
A while back I was sooo addicted to this game. If I watched any tv I would have my lap top with the game on so I was ready incase someone attacked. I became really good, but it was way too much for me. Luckily they started Super Severs back then and when they merged the server I was on, I never logged back in. I was so releived to get out.
I still know a few people that play and they all have bots now, which sure would have made my farming of NPC10s much easier, not to mention the bots can give you a heads up if you are being attacked and even do some counter measures. So, I might have stayed in it with the bots, however I am not going back. If you do decide to play, get yourself a bot, so you can be on par with most of the other players.
Just one US server now?
General Discussion « WAR (Warhammer Online)
I really enjoyed this game. My cousin and I still talk about the epic fights we had. Eventually though, we would level out of areas and continue on. Once we reached the end game, it just wasn't as much fun for us as it was at the lower levels. We came back once or twice, but without some sort of xpoff, it just lost interest for us.
We will always think fondly of the game, but for us, the game is already in the past, a memory... Now if they just allowed for xpoff, I am sure we would return, at least until GW2 came out.
Best of Luck WAR...

Fake money is causing a real problem throughout Catawba County.
Counterfeit $10 and $20 bills are appearing in nearly all of the countyŌĆÖs municipalities, and some of the funny money is being traced back to high school students.
How do you identify counterfeit bills? More details in the Thursday edition of The O-N-E.
Catawba County is home to 240 of the stateŌĆÖs sex offenders, and mobile device users can pinpoint exactly where those people live thanks to a new application.
CHAPEL HILL ŌĆö Harrison Barnes shook off his nagging ankle injury and a series of undersized defenders to help No. 5 North Carolina take charge in the second half. He just couldn't finish off No. 10 Duke.
Barnes scored 19 of his 25 points after halftime for the Tar Heels in their 85-84 loss Wednesday night. Barnes, who sprained his left ankle against Wake Forest last week, missed all four of his shots in the first half but went 8-for-12 in the final 20 minutes.
The two-time defending South Atlantic League champion Lenoir-Rhyne softball team opened its season in style Wednesday, taking both games of a doubleheader against Belmont Abbey.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖll take the wins,ŌĆØ said L-R coach Shena Hollar. ŌĆ£I donŌĆÖt think they were pretty. We played at their pace. It was a very slow game. We like to get in, get out and get on. We didnŌĆÖt do that. This is something to work on. For the opener, weŌĆÖll take two ŌĆśWŌĆÖs.ŌĆÖŌĆØ
In game one, sophomore Haily Jarman connected on a grand slam home run to put the Lady Bears (2-0) ahead.
The Maiden, Fred T. Foard and St. Stephens football teams are three of eight programs that will receive wins after Hickory High School used an ineligible football player during the 2011 season.
The result leaves the Red Tornadoes winless in 2011 at 0-13. Their record before the forfeits was 8-4-1, including a postseason appearance.
Hickory vacated its 47-20 victory at Maiden on Sept. 2, along with the Red TornadoesŌĆÖ wins against conference schools St. Stephens (49-14) and Fred T. Foard (31-6).
After hosting first- and second-round matches in the dual team state playoffs Tuesday, the Newton-Conover and Fred T. Foard wrestling teams will hit the road for their third- and fourth-round match-ups today.
The Red Devils (40-2), who topped Ashe County in the first round and Chase in the second round, take on T.W. Andrews (14-4) in round three.┬Ā
If successful, Newton-Conover will face the winner of host Wheatmore (23-9) and Piedmont (35-0), a team that has knocked the Red Devils out of the dual team playoffs each of the last two seasons.
Brian E. Roseman, 49, of Conover, died unexpectedly Feb. 7, 2012, from injuries sustained from a motorcycle accident. The Roseman family has entrusted the funeral arrangements to Willis-Reynolds Funeral Home & Crematory in Newton.
Take a second look at your $20 and $10 bills. They may be fake.
Recent sightings of counterfeit money in the area have spread to Newton, Conover and nearly all of Catawba CountyŌĆÖs municipalities.
Fake money has popped up in a host of fast food restaurants and convenience stores throughout the county since the first of the year.
Authorities are tracing many of the counterfeit bills back to high school students.
About 25 counterfeit incidents have been reported to Conover Police Department, which is working with the U.S. Secret Service and neighboring jurisdictions on the case.
Marrying couples must visit the register of deeds for a license.
Nearly a decade ago, Donna Spencer decided the Catawba County courthouse was an apt setting for a wedding ceremony, too.
ŌĆ£Before I became register of deeds, I was a paralegal and IŌĆÖd be here on ValentineŌĆÖs Day and would see a lot of people assigned licenses that day,ŌĆØ Spencer said. ŌĆ£The magistrate does a lot of people who just walk in here. You walk in to the desk, and you get married. You have to wait because warrants through the jail and court system are a priority.ŌĆØ
County authorities are praising a new mobile app that will help residents pinpoint the location of area sex offenders.
The N.C. Department of Justice launched a ŌĆ£North Carolina Sex Offender RegistryŌĆØ app this month that provides citizens a first-hand, live look at where registered sex offenders live.
The app uses mapping technology to literally pinpoint where sex offenders live relative to the user's current location. It also allows a user to search for particular addresses and streets.
Hickory vacated its 47-20 victory at Maiden on Sept. 2, along with the Red Tornadoes' wins against conference schools St. Stephens (49-14) and Fred T. Foard (31-6).

I don't think that Xort was trying to be a dick... he's got a valid point, in that learning the basics of sailing aren't all that difficult. One book I'd highly recommend you get and read is Dave Seidman's The Complete Sailor. IMHO, it is probably the best written sailing primer that covers a broad swath of subject matter.

That would be awesome to go out with some one next year once the ice melts for sure. thanks for the offer.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
