Pure Prairie League - Steppin' Out
2014 Reds record: 1-2
I look like a banker in this...
Mr. Mister - Go On...
James McMurtrey.....Where did you hide the body.
When I see the 2015 Reds, I see a 100 loss team.
Johnny Horton's Greatest Hits
Not top 5, but I do have it available in the car and do actually listen to it.
If I had to pick one, it'd be Nerf Herder's s/t debut. Most of the music I like is pretty critically-acclaimed, and although Nerf Herder wasn't considered a bad album, it's not considered to be a classic by many people, unlike some of my other favorites (i.e. Blonde on Blonde, Teenager of the Year, etc.).
Asher Roth "The Greenhouse Effect"
"Last week I helped my friend stay put. It's a lot easier'n helpin' 'em move. I just went over to his house and made sure that he did not start to load **** into a truck."

Purchased it for 1 dollar at the .99 store. Lost it about a year later, but during that first year, that thing was the dream.
I want to say Pure Prairie League has a Clermont County connection somehow.
Cold Chisel - Circus Animals
The great thing about getting older is that you don't lose all the other ages you've been.
― Madeleine L'Engle
My Goodreads Author Page
I remember seeing Pure Prairie League as a OU sometime-bar band (albeit a good one) around Athens circa 1970-72. I think a lot of guys have come and gone in that band.
Can't say they are my favorite albums, but these oddballs used to get regular play time on my turntable back in the day:
Quicksilver Messaging Service - Shady Grove (because of Edward the Mad Shirt Grinder)
Wim Mertens - Close Cover
Roy Buchanan - Roy Buchanan
Glass Harp - Synergy
Teach tolerance.
Survivor- Vital Signs. I love that record. Ron Nevison at his poppy best.

+ - Linux containers set for surge, but security concerns remain
stephendavion writes: A new survey has revealed that even though deployment of Linux application containers is likely to rise in the next few years, concerns about security and certification remain. The survey found that two-thirds are planning Linux container production roll outs in the next two years. Of those, 83% said they are planning deployments on top of virtual environments. Half of the respondents plan to use container-based applications in cloud deployments, while 56% intend to leverage them as vehicles for web and e-commerce software.

Scranton said Robbins had long planned on freezing her head in hopes technology would one day allow her to be revived. When she signed up with Alcor in 2006, she took out a $50,000 annuity and named Alcor as the beneficiary to cover the harvesting and storage.
"She was always fascinated by those types of things," he said. "I think it's been said that she had a desire that if she could live again she would come back as a scientist or a researcher."
Robbins was diagnosed with cervical cancer in December and tests showed that the cancer had spread to most of her vital organs, but not her brain.
She began radiation and signed up for a cancer-treatment study. But too weak to participate in the treatment, Robbins resigned herself to the fact that she was going to lose her battle and contacted Alcor.
Darlene Robbins said Alcor told her mother that they wanted her to move to Phoenix to die, something Robbins did not want to do. She asked that Alcor send personnel to assist her, Darlene Robbins said, but Alcor suggested her hospice carry out the lengthy list of after-death protocols that the company requires to prep the body for freezing, including administering a cocktail of medications and performing CPR once death has already occurred to keep oxygen flowing.
"Hospice said it was not within their power to do that. They didn't have the medications," Darlene Robbins said. "It's against their charter, which is to help people die with dignity and peace."
Two days before she died, Robbins changed the beneficiary on her annuity policy so the money would go to her family, an act witnessesed by family and non-family, Scranton said. The lawyer said that others heard Robbins say that she no longer wished for her head to be frozen.
Darlene Robbins said she contacted Alcor to let them know her mother had changed her mind and "they hung up on me."
Alcor, Scranton said, rejected Robbins' verbal cancellation of the contract, "saying oral revocations don't count. That it has to be in writing."
Besides battling the Robbins family over the contract to preserve her head, Wolf said recently that Alcor could not rule out a legal effort to have the original $50,000 annuity reinstated as well.
Once the family realized Alcor was going to fight them for their mother's head, they agreed to allow the head to be packed in ice, while the rest of the body was refrigerated per normal post-mortem storage. The body remains intact.
But even that is questionable, Scranton said, because the ice wasn't brought in until about 24 hours after Robbins had died.
By Alcor's own list of lengthy procedures to ensure proper freezing after death, Darlene Robbins said, Mary Robbins' body is no longer viable because it was not prepared according to those guidelines.
"What they are going to do with the body I have no idea," she said. ""What are they going to do, put her in a box and just drive her down to Arizona?"
Wolff said that even though the company's preferred preservation techniques were not followed in the hours after Robbins death, the company's scientists have said cryopreservation is still possible.
"She's been on dry ice at a super-cooled temperature, which allows for cryopreservation," he said.

From the article: Best Happy Hours at Washington, DC's Hottest Restaurants
Washington, DC has plenty of fun places to hang out after work with friends or coworkers. Where are your favorite happy hour places? Please include the name of just one restaurant or bar, the location and why you like it. Is it a fun atmosphere, do they offer great specials, what type of crowd does it attract, etc?
JR's on Sundays
- Always a fun crowd, and it's pretty tough to beat $2 Skyy Vodka doubles and 80's videos! There are two "shifts" - 4:30 - 6:30 or so is less crowded, then 7:00 - 9:00 or later can get really packed crazy! Address: 1519 17th St. NW Washington DC
- —jbflowers
McCormick & Schmick's
- They have the best happy price's (Starting at $2.99 - $8.99).....the Calamari is my favorite and they are right around the corner from the Verizon Center (easy access)
- —Guest Karen Moody
- The Doubletree hotel on Rhode Island Avenue NW has a really good happy hour from 4-7 and it has $5 appetizers, $3 beers and cocktails starting at $4. They have an outside patio too which is great for people watching. I like the ambiance and the decor inside, I think it's been recently updated. Oh and on Thursdays, we bring our dog to their doggie happy hour. He gets free treats and we get good drinks and the chef grills up food right on the terrace.
- —Guest Lisette Bandera
- CAFE CITRON IS ALWAYS FUN... I LOVE THEIR HAPPY HOUR BECAUSE THEY HAVE GREAT DRINK CHOICES UNDER $6.. FROM 4 TO 7 30. THEY ALSO HAVE A GREAT SELECTION OF PITCHER COCKTAILS ... my favorite is they give ...FREE..... PINK BOAS AND TIARAS TO BIRTHDAY GIRLS & BACHELORETTES..
- —Guest LOVE TO LIVE
Science Club
- Science Club never fails to please. If the upstairs bar gets crowded, make your way to the downstairs bar. The food is vegetarian and it is excellent (i am not a vegetarian myself either). Go for happy hour, stick around for the music after 9.
- —Guest shoude522
Sabor Cafe
- My favorite place for happy hour is Sabor Cafe on Georgia Avenue, NW Washington, DC. I have gone there with friends and family. It is a beautiful space that offers live jazz music and wonderful food. I have gone at different times and always felt comfortable and welcome. I strongly recommend it.
- —Guest Sandra Nunez
Laughing Man's Tavern
- Fun place to sit back and laugh it up with good friends. They serve a funny dish with watermelon. Address: 1306 G Street, NW, Washington, DC

Science Club
- Science Club is a nice, central (downtown) spot for weekday happy hours. The specials include generous pours of decent wine, and the front patio is an added bonus when the weather cooperates. On chilly or gray days, the narrow, intimate space provides a cozy hangout to unwind in after work! Address: 1136 19 St. NW Washington, DC

Fun, Easy-going, and Fun
I'm intensely focused on my career path and doing what it takes to get there. I love music and that's probably why I got into the nightlife business and probably why I'm one of the lucky few in any business that still loves what he does. It's a means to an end, but I'm most passionate about music and theater. (What an LA surprise!) Between what I do for a living and what I'm passionate about, I like to have fun. For me that means being outside, enjoying the sunshine, being around good positive people. That's what I am, so those are the type of people I prefer to surround myself with. That's not a bad segue in regards to what I would like my date to be like. Positive, fun, out-going like me, and someone that likes to enjoy life. I am able to confront an issue and brush it off my shoulder. Life's too short to dwell on things and hold grudges for too long. Confidence and someone that takes care of themselves is a huge plus in a person and you'll find that I am both confident and do the best I can to take care of myself. My perfect date may not necessarily be the stereotypical date. I would prefer something toned down a bit at first so that I can really get to know her. Maybe a walk and me preparing a good dinner. That's where you can really get a good sense of a person in my opinion. Can't wait to hear from you -
Cooking , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Performing arts , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports
Basketball, Bowling, Cycling, Dancing, Football, Other types of exercise, Running, Skiing, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines, Yoga
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
I have Dogs, Fish
Middle of the Road
Baylor University, Waco, TX
I have such eclectic taste in all of these that I don't know where to start. I love to play guitar and am inspired by Radiohead, the xx, Dave Matthews and the list goes on. I love movies, but don't sit around too much for the TV. Dallas Cowboys!
In my free time I like to go to the gym, the beach, or hiking on Runyan Canyon with my dog and have her try to keep up! These are some of the reasons I moved to LA, so I try to take advantage!
My latest "literary adventure" was "The Winner Stands Alone" by Paulo Coelho

Grief comes about during any major time of change, even if that change is positive. Life can have moments of difficulty where we often feel stuck. While I do not report to have "answers" I am willing to be with you in your pain, to listen, and help you discover your own answers. I believe in your potential and your ability to discover the tools you need to change. Sometimes we just need someone to be with us as we venture to those emotional areas that seem dark and scary. I encourage you to find the person that "gets" you.
If you're having difficulty in relationship/s perhaps we can find the reasons you may not be getting what you want, or find new ways of thinking about who you are, what you need, what you want. Sometimes the hardest question can be "what do I want?"
My approach is simple, "I don't have answers" but know that you do. The most important thing for you is to find a therapist that understands you, someone you trust.Please don't stop looking for that person. I also offer webcam counseling. Check my website for information.

A Wild Police Chase Starts in NJ – Watch Here [Video]
There have been a lot of police chases on TV over the years, most of them originating out West. Of course there's the famous OJ Simpson "low speed chase", and there have been plenty of others over the years. But we're not used to them out here in The Garden State. And this one was definitely bizarre.

Car-X Auto Service - St. LouisRead MoreWith more than 175 locations nationwide and more than 35 years in the business, Car-X Tire & Auto has earned a prime spot in the parking garage of quality car care and customer service. Started in 1971 by a team of seasoned muffler-shop owners, the service centers have blossomed from their beginnings as specialty exhaust shops to providers of nearly any repair or maintenance service imaginable, from installing performance-enhancing accessories to treating cars to therapeutic trust falls. In addition to promoting safety and long, healthy engine life with brake services and speedy oil changes, Car-X reaches out to the surrounding community with regular philanthropic activities, such as recycling drives and participation in the American Heart Association's Heart Walk.6693 W US Hwy. 6Portage, IN US
Duke of OilRead MoreAuto Fix draws on their parent company's deep wells of experienced, ASE-certified technicians to staff their seven garages in Illinois and Indiana. The full-service shops keep cars running with oil changes and thorough vehicle check ups, and they routinely flush power steering, radiator, and transmission fluids. Having spent years working with vehicles, Auto Fix technicians can repair any part of the car from the suspension to the fuel system. They're confident in their repairs as well, offering any client a 12-month or 12,000-mile guarantee on each fix. The team also renders problem-precluding services such as full safety inspections, shocks and struts service, and tire rotation—which does not mean enforcing who's up next on the backyard tire swing.3592 N Hobart Rd.Hobart, IN US

Upon graduation, technicians also take the Jiffy Lube Pledge, vowing to service their customers' cars with the same care they would normally reserve for their own vehicles. This extensive curriculum and commitment to customer service is part of what earned the program accolades as an Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) Certified Training Provider. In addition to performing oil changes, Jiffy Lube's experts perform air conditioning, air filtration, cooling system, electrical, windshield services, and many more. The technicians' quality pledge includes a commitment to transparency, which stipulates that they will inform car owners of any necessary services and only complete those services after it has been approved by the owner.802 Ahrens RdChesterton, IN US

Jeff Madrick, (Roosevelt Institute Senior Fellow, Director of the Rediscovering Government initiative and author of Age of Greed), has typed a scathing indictment of those glossy false icons on the right, while at the same time warning against blind hero worship and succumbing to demagoguery on the left. We know that the philosophies of historical figures like Ronald Reagan and Ayn Rand turned out to be toxic, even to those in the lower classes who still idolize them, but Madrick argues that their memories have been obfuscated by myth.
via The Next New Deal:

The right then goes on to mythologize and entirely distort the Reagan years. Under Reagan in the 1980s, wages stopped growing, productivity grew at historically slow rates, investment was soft, and the deficit never came down to the levels promised. That deficit was an albatross around the neck of George H.W.

Two different obverse dies were overdated in preparation for the new coinage of 1820. The first had the 1 overpunched with a Square Base 2 punch, while the second, O-102, had the 1 altered with a Curve Base 2 punch. Other 1820 obverse dies have a similar Square Base, Curl Top 2, except larger in size. Just six obverse dies were produced for half dollars in 1820, and they were made from four completely different punches for the digit 2.
The present piece is almost certainly the finest existing 1820/19 overdate half dollar. The surfaces are frosty with light gold toning and peripheral iridescence.

Christmas Around the World
Christmas is celebrated in so many different ways. From colorful decorations to festive food and music, various countries and cultures all have their own special ways to celebrate the most wonderful time of the year. With Christmas just days away, we'd thought it'd be fun to share these snapshots of Christmas around the world:
In Dublin, Ireland, Nollaig Shona Duit lights up the road. It means 'Merry Christmas' in Gaelic.
In Germany, star lamps are a traditional decoration that can be seen hanging all over town. These beautiful glowing lights were found in a Christmas market in Hamburg.
In Mexico, Christmas wouldn't be complete without ponche, a warm tropical punch made with cinnamon, guavas and other fruits.
Christmas isn't a public holiday in most countries in Asia, but you'll still find stores stocking special Christmas snacks like these found in Taiwan.
South Korea celebrates Christmas with Santa Haraboji or Grandfather Santa. This figurine of Santa wears a 'gat', a traditional hat worn by men during the Joseon Dynasty.
In the southern hemisphere, Christmas comes in summer. Here's Papai Noel (Father Christmas) wearing his swim trunks in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Tell us—What's Christmas like in your corner of the world?
Classic Christmas Movies, Songs & Stories
What would Christmas be without those memorable holiday movies, music, and stories to help celebrate the season? Break out the eggnog and fire up the Yule Log as you reminisce with some classic favorites.
Movie Greats
Enjoy the memories as you snuggle up with loved ones to watch film classics like 1947's Miracle on 34th Street and Bing Crosby's White Christmas. Have some fun by turning the holiday season into a "12 Days of Christmas Movies" marathon leading up to the big day…and after! You can start out with It's a Wonderful Life to remember all that's good in the world, then follow it up with A Christmas Story to add some holiday humor. And, of course, what would Christmastime be without a visit from the Peanuts gang in A Charlie Brown Christmas. Why not pop some popcorn, and, as you snack, string some together with festive cranberries to make a festive garland for your tree.
Classic Songs
Whether enjoying the wintery weather with a group of carolers or cozying with friends and family by the fireplace, nothing celebrates the season like harmonizing to classic Christmas songs. Tune up that yuletide tradition with a twist on the classic favorite Twelve Days of Christmas. Simply write the different parts of the song on slips of paper ("three french hens," "five golden rings," etc.) and have each singer draw one. Of course those are the parts they'll sing during the chorus.) With plenty of other greats to choose from, including Deck the Halls, Silent Night, and I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus, your repertoire will be set for the season.
Favorite Stories
Remember when you were little, how much fun it was to sit in your parent's lap as they read The Night Before Christmas to you before bed? Keep that special tradition alive byhaving your little ones cuddle up in your lap as you read their favorite Christmas stories. Perhaps they like The Sweet Smell of Christmas or The Christmas Story. Whichever they choose, spruce up the delivery by adding voices appropriate for each character. It's a great way to make warm memories with your little snowflake!
Celebrate this Christmas season by taking a snowy stroll down memory lane, or creating new traditions to pass on to generations. Favorite films that bring a smile to your face, sweet-sounding carols, and stories that warm the heart are all a part of what makes Christmas so memorable for those both young and young at heart.

Only two days until Black Friday!
Just a reminder that Black Friday is almost here, even though it seems like retailers have started their campaigns to begin the sales season even earlier than that…this week has been like a pre-Black Friday bonanza! By next year, it should start right around the 4th of July. Just kidding, of course, but guess the point is that the earlier you get started, the better the bargains you'll find and the sooner the shopping phase of the holiday season will be complete. Well, for some of us anyway! Oops, gotta run…there's a bargain out there calling my name!

Happy November Birthday, You Magnetic Visionaries!
Deep, passionate souls with a contagious optimism, those born during the month of November have a wealth of hidden riches and an enviable exuberance and vitality.
If born under the sign of Scorpio, you have a reservoir of will-power that can overcome any obstacle and a keen intuition that hones in on getting to the bottom of everything meaningful to you. Mesmerizing to say the least, you possess a magnetism that attracts others unlike anyone else. Not to mention, you're quite the charmer! Friends and family benefit greatly from your helpfulness and devotion, for as serious and determined as you can be, you are also kind, caring, and loyal. An unbeatable combination!
If a Sagittarian, you are a visionary who inspires the masses. You rarely do anything on a small scale—"the bigger, the better" as far as you're concerned! Seekers of knowledge, you have no hesitation traveling to the ends of the earth to learn what you must know. For you, it's all about the journey, as well as the destination. Once you've mastered a subject, you love nothing more than to share with those eager to learn, for you are the guru others flock to for wisdom.
November Flower
Your birth flower is the Chrysanthemum. Derived from Greek, it means "golden flower"—its original color—and was named by Carolus Linnaeus, the Swedish naturalist and "father of modern taxonomy." Blooming in a variety of sizes, shapes, and colors, they are among the most popular flowers in the world, and have a bouquet of meanings, including: love, optimism, joy, and fidelity. In addition, Chrysanthemums were known to have conveyed the hidden message, "You're a wonderful friend" during Victorian period when discreet social etiquette was strictly observed. Very fitting for you, since you are popular and dedicated to finding the hidden treasures of life!
November Birthstone
Topaz, your birthstone, has a rich history dating back thousands of years. Originally named by the Greeks, it designated any yellow stone, but has since included a variety of colors and hues, including blue, pink, lavender, orange, and green. Mostly used in making fine jewelry, it is also known as a mystical gemstone, and is said to ward off sickness, aid in fertility, and help create an emotionally healthy lifestyle.
Famous November Birthdays
Celebrate your birthday this month with some notable figures in history:
Dale Carnegie, Winston Churchill, Walter Cronkite, Joe DiMaggio, Jodie Foster, Whoopi Goldberg, Billy Graham, Warren G. Harding (29th U.S. President), Rock Hudson, and Harpo Marx.

It's Election Day 2012!
Although we probably won't know who the winner of this election is until late tonight (as the polls are still indicating a very tight race), we can watch as the electoral votes add up, which, of course, is how the president is actually elected. The debate over a popular vote vs an electoral vote has been going on for more than 200 years.
The electoral college was put in place by the framers of our Constitution who decided that the states should do the voting, not the people. At that time, the United States was simply a union of individual states that had come together to resolve the many issues of establishing a democracy, but the thought of being a single nation was not yet in the consciousness of many. Eventually, a compromise was struck so that voting for president would take place state by state, so that each one could have its say. Each state was given a number of electoral votes equal to the combined total number of senators and members of the house of representatives it had, usually giving the most populous states the largest number of electorates. The popular vote–your vote–is what guides the electoral college to cast its votes. We can still see this separate state idea being played out today when we hear of red states, blue states and, of course, "swing states," those in which candidates campaign so heavily because swing states can tip the balance of the electoral college vote.
Do you know when the last time a president was elected that did not have the majority of the popular vote? It was in the year 2000 when George W. Bush defeated Al Gore, who had a very narrow lead in the popular vote, but lost the electoral vote 271 to 266.
Who will come out ahead in 2012? We'll hopefully know that tomorrow!
It's Boss's Day–October 16!
Today is Boss's Day, which was officially observed in 1962–four years after being proposed by Patricia Bays Haroski who was an appreciative employee at State Farm Insurance in Deerfield, Ill. She chose the date, October 16, in honor of her boss's birthday. Interestingly, her boss at the time was her father whom she noticed was a source of encouragement and inspiration to her and her fellow employees even when he was facing difficult hurdles in running the company. The following are a few inspirational quotes about leaders that most people say make the best kinds of bosses.
The supreme quality for leadership is unquestionably integrity.
Without it, no real success is possible,
no matter whether it is on…a football field, in an army, or in an office.
–Dwight D. Eisenhower
Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.
–John F. Kennedy
The full measure of a man is
not to be found in the man himself,
but in the colors and textures that
come alive in others because of him.
–Albert Schweitzer
If your actions inspire others to dream more,
learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.
–John Quincy Adam
Happy Boss's Day!
The above ecard, "A Special Boss," and an assortment of other ecards and postcards are ready for sending and sharing today at bluemountain.com.

He also writes that the U.S. is slowly catching up with the rest of the world.
"The United States, which has lagged far behind Europe in developing diversified urban transport systems, is being swept by a "complete streets" movement, an effort to ensure that streets are friendly to pedestrians and bicycles as well as to cars. Many American communities lack sidewalks and bike lanes, making it difficult for pedestrians and cyclists to get around safely, particularly where streets are heavily traveled.
This cars-only model is being challenged by the National Complete Streets Coalition, a powerful assemblage of citizen groups, including the Natural Resources Defense Council, AARP, and numerous local and national cycling organizations."
Are these BRT models using diesel? Please let's get rid of the diesel emissions for the health of bus drivers/riders, pedestrians and residents alike.
In the major city of the America's and also in the city of the worlds, it is very risk to cycling or pedestrians on the street. There are always full of heavy vehicles and traffic. Streets are being narrow and being hard to travel cities at these times because many vehicles are increasing in big ratios, populations growing on same ratio too. In this situation, this car would be perfects solutions because we can ensure on that most of vehicles have increasing pollution, which has been creating negatives effects on environment and on our health. Especially, those vehicles which are operated by fuels (Diesels, patrols) and this challenging too, so we should think about the upcoming models. I hope it will be helpful to rid the old models and that's would be really different that it, solve the challenged too

New London - The City Council on Monday night authorized the bonding of more than $4.4 million to address long-standing problems with the city's finances and to put more cash back into its sickly savings account.
One ordinance sanctioned the bonding of $3.3 million to account for state grant funding the city has never collected, including roughly $1.7 million for various school building projects, about $1 million for the Parade Plaza reconstruction project and about $600,000 for the remediation of Veterans Field.
If or when the city is able to collect the outstanding grant money, it will be placed in an escrow account that will be used solely to pay off the debt.
The second ordinance passed by the council approved the bonding of more than $1 million for vehicle purchases made last year that were originally going to be paid from the general fund.
Both ordinances passed 6-1, with Councilor Martin T. Olsen casting the dissenting vote on each.
"In these instances we're being asked to take on debt to pay for debt, which I think is bad business," Olsen said.
Last month, Finance Director Jeff Smith told a council committee that he and the council will have to act quickly to get the city's financial house in order, or the city could run out of cash in mid-May and risk a state takeover.
"We really need, now, to fix this once and for all," he said last month.
At the heart of the problem is the city's withering fund balance, or savings account, chronic deficits in the city's capital projects fund and $6.9 million in state reimbursements that the city has never collected.
In his State of the City address last week, Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio called the city's fiscal problems "a very real, and a very grave, financial peril" the city will have to extricate itself from if it is to realize the potential of several opportunities, like the planned national Coast Guard museum.
"It's hard for me to say, but I have to say it. It's hard for you to hear, but you have to hear it," Finizio said last week in his State of the City address. "We are out of money, and we are out of time."
Smith's recommended bonding plan, along with the adoption of "a good budget," will ensure that the city "permanently turns the financial corner," Finizio said last week.
The council on Monday also voted to table discussion of two other bonding ordinances that are part of Smith's recommended plan. They would authorize bonding of $1 million to cover overspending on a handful of city projects such as improvements to City Pier, and $1 million for smaller projects that drew from the general operating fund.
The bonding scheme, if adopted in its entirety, would have the near-immediate impact of almost doubling the city's fund balance to about $2.4 million, Smith said.

I posted this in the original Deno trade thread, but I'm guessing most people are sick of rummaging through it, so I thought this was worth it's own discussion:
One player that makes sense for the other PTBNL is Danny Putnam.
Now I reason this based on how strange the PTBNL seems to be in this occurence. We know the player is near major league ready, but still isn't going to be traded right now.
The fact that the player is close to being ready seems to cancel out the chance of a draft pick, and the Athletics players currently injured don't seem like logical candidates based on already being major league ready or their contract status.
So to me, it's most logically a player that the Athletics currently have a use for, and that the Reds wouldn't.
Now the Athletics currently have Milton Bradley and Mark Kotsay injured which forced them to call up Danny Putnam due to their lack of depth. My guess is that Putnam goes down when Bradley comes back in the next 3 or so weeks, but the Athletics would still be thin on OF depth which would explain why they would want to hold on to Putnam for now.
So my guess is the transaction goes down when Kotsay comes back from injury (approximately mid June). Krivsky did say that he expects the other player to be announced sometime during the summer whih does coincide with Kotsay coming back from injury.
Putnam would fit Krivsky's description of being close to major league ready. We know the player is a prospect of some assortment. Putnam is in the majors right now, but he's not really ready, but is fairly close.
As the Reds don't have a use for Putnam right now, and he's likely to spend most of his time in the minors anyway, Krivsky probably doesn't mind Putnam staying on the major league roster for the Athletics for the time being. I think McBeth was named for the reason that the Reds had a more potential use for him right now while the Athletics didn't, unlike Putnam.
IMO, Putnam is the only player that makes sense as the PTBNL. There is obviously an abnormal reason as to why the player has not been named yet and the Athletics OF situation right now is very shaky. Putnam is also the A's only OF prospect that really qualifies as being near major league ready.
In Putnam, the Reds would get a 25 year old corner outfielder. he's not very good defensively, and his bat doesn't profile to be good enough to play everyday as a corner outfielder.
He's fairly disciplined. 55-65 BB's per season should be expected out of him while also not striking out an enormous rate. Shows mediocre power (around 15-20 homer potential). In all, his bat profiles as a pretty similar overall package to Deno. Not quite the on base ability, but probably a little better power.
Here's his career minor league stats:
The big downgrade is the defense. Deno can play a very solid CF, while Putnam is below average, even in LF. He compares favorably to a Gabe Gross.
I'm probably looking too much into this, but I think he's the most logical bet. If true, the trade would be adding McBeth for a downgrade in the OF. the Reds already have CF candidates in Freel and Hamilton which would make Denorfia's strong ability there unneccessary in Cincy, while the Reds would still add some good OF depth in Putnam as a really strong bench player down the road. If true, I think this would be a worthwhile trade for the Reds where the upgrade in pitching far outweighs what is lost in the OF.
Can anyone think of other logical candidates based on clues that Krivsky has given?

Limited-time feature
44 year old man | Burbank, CA, USA | Seeking women 33-41 within 20 miles
Apparently Match is some sort of crime syndicate..because there a lot of women looking for a "partner in crime".
Does anyone actually read these? I'm starting to think not. Well, just in case: I make my living as an artist, but I'd like to think I'm one of those "non-crazy creative types" that are creative without being nightmare to be around. I tend to not take myself too seriously (I frequently make corny jokes and bad puns and no, I'm not the least bit ashamed of myself when I do so), but I take what I do very seriously. When I'm not making art for the studios, I try to find time to work on my own paintings (studio work pays the mortgage, my own painting pays me in happiness). I like to travel and I think the best stamp collections are the ones that are located in your passport. Unfortunately I don't get to do it as much as I'd like too (that job thing has a way of taking up most of the day). If given a choice between a comfy vacation somewhere in Europe or a safari, I'd take the safari every time (I'll get to Europe eventually). I also enjoy a good road trip from time to time as well and I've driven from coast to coast a few times by myself for fun (I wouldn't mind having a copilot the next time though). I like to eat and because I like to eat, I go to the gym at least four times a week. On the weekends I try to get in a bike ride or go hiking. My ideal match would have similar exercise habits and interests. I'm not looking for a triathlete, but I really have no interest in becoming a couch potato (if you are a triathlete though, I am impressed and already humbled by your awesomeness!). I think at this point I'm pretty together and I'm not looking for anyone to "complete me". As a matter of fact, despite what that movie implies, (in my opinion) the only proper response to a statement like that is to run like hell in the other direction. Don't even bother using the door, just go through the nearest wall and leave one of those silhouette holes like you would see in a Warner Bros cartoon behind you. If you have read this far, it should be clear that my match should have a sense of humor. It would be also nice if she read a book every once in awhile, already has a career, is nice to waiters and waitresses (seriously, it's hard job and they are handling your food), LIVES IN THE L.A. AREA, is used to being treated well in a relationship and over her last relationship. Note: I won't respond to profiles without a profile photo. No need to make the online dating thing more uncertain and weird by presenting a faceless silhouette to the person you are contacting. It's kind of creepy and you can't expect someone to put themselves out there if you aren't willing to do that yourself.

Here's a fairly early Andrew Ross Petzval, approx 24/25" (but possibly larger) f5, s/n 5896, which was sold by Sands Hunter, London including the lens hood, original flange and a full set of w/stops
Photos will be added to this listing later today. Some more details:-
1) the glass (for the age) is very good, a small scratch on the front element and a very minimal amount of clear separation on that element;
2) I haven't been able to remove the rear lens section because my hands aren't wide enough. I had a similar issue with another Ross Petzval recently and WD40 easily dealt with that. There's a small amount of what I am certain is dirt and dust between the two cells and which I'm confident will be removed when these are separated;
3) the brass has significant character, noticeably on the dull side and hasn't been restored;
4) there's a small ding in the flange, which can be 'knocked out';
5) including the lens hood, the total length is 11";
6) the width of the glass is approx 124mm, multiplied by 5, results in the focal length of 24/25", which is 'a back focus calculation';
7) in view of the weight, I haven't been able to fully mount it for coverage purposes but I did briefly put it in front of an 8 x 20 Korona a few months ago and I could see no signs of any vignetting; and
8) the photos do not show the stops, which I've currently mislaid but are definitely included in this sale
$6,995 plus shipping, and I'll swallow the paypal fees. This price is definitely negotiable, pm me please if interested

TONY HETHERINGTON: I'm retired and taxman won't cancel my £3,977 of underpaid tax
R.J.H.writes: I retired from BT after 40 years, always as a Pay As You Earn taxpayer. Last year, Revenue & Customs informed me I had underpaid tax of £3,977. Now on a limited income, I agreed to pay this over three years by instalments. This has caused some hardship but I thought I had no option. However, your recent article about a reader with a similar problem mentioned an Extra Statutory Concession that allows the Revenue to cancel tax, and this prompted me to write to the tax office, but I have just heard from officials who say it does not apply in my case.
Since the PAYE system was launched in 1944 we have all become used to relying on the Revenue to get its sums right.
If asked, we complete a tax return, but then we depend on Revenue staff to decide how much to collect from our pay or pension. This worked for decades without any serious problems.
Incompetence: The Revenue's HQ in London
Now though, it seems there are more problems than solutions. The Revenue has become incompetent thanks to a leadership that frankly couldn't organise a celebration in a brewery.
You ran up huge tax debts because you were liable at the higher rate but tax was collected only at the basic rate. Whether the Revenue will write this off depends on whose fault it was. And the Revenue told you: 'We have no record of any information sent by you or any third party which we failed to act on.'
This is extraordinary. Your tax arrears grew over three years, from 2007 to 2010. In all that time, did you conceal your income? And did BT fail to supply the Revenue with the usual end-of-year pay and tax details? No, of course not. As far back as February 2007, officials knew you were on an above-average income. They instructed BT to tax you at the basic rate, with no tax-free allowances at all.
This is unusual.
But having done this, did those same officials not check your tax at the end of each financial year? If they did, surely this means they did hold all the information they needed and they should now accept they failed to act on it?
Well no, not according to the Revenue. It told me: 'We would have been notified about Mr H's income at the end of the tax year, when the employer sent in annual returns, but these updates do not count as information under our Extra Statutory Concession.'
Talk about having your cake and eating it. Employers are legally obliged to hand over this information, but it doesn't really count as information.
The arrears date to when your BT pension began but you continued working for a while. The Revenue should have sent you a form to complete about your future income, but it admitted to me that it failed to do so.
Instead, staff simply assumed that you had given up work. They then made things worse early in 2011 by issuing an incorrect PAYE code for you.
Despite all these mistakes, the Revenue holds you responsible and not its own staff. It told me it was only fair to expect you and every other taxpayer to carry out checks on your PAYE code, your monthly payslips, and your annual tax certificate. It is then up to you to spot mistakes and tell the people who made them. Now for the tiny bit of good news.
The Revenue concedes it should have sent you a form to fill in when you reached retirement age. If it had done so, all the arrears could have been avoided. It failed to do so, and it wants to compensate you. The amount? Just £40, against tax debts of almost £4,000.
One day MPs will wake up to just how bad the Revenue has become. Meanwhile, complain to the outside Revenue Adjudicator, the Whitehall referee who investigates complaints from the public. Better allow time for a reply – she may be rushed off her feet.
K.W.writes: I have received paperwork through the post headed: 'Industry and Commerce, Register of Business Information'. I have no knowledge of the company behind this. I run a small firm and do not advertise, and I am worried I have been targeted by some type of scam.
The paperwork you received says your business is already on a database and at first sight you are just being asked to confirm the details.
You are told: 'If any details are not fully correct, please update these without any cost.'
But there is a sting buried further down the form. If you sign it and return it, you are also ordering a computer disc that will include your firm along with thousands of others. Your entry will appear each year for three years, at an annual cost to you of 997 euros (about £800).
Although the form was sent from Middlesex, it really comes from a company called the European City Guide, which is based in Valencia.
Whether your local car repair business in the North of England would gain any work by appearing on a CD that may be taken seriously only by other people who have also paid 997 euros is questionable. And the European City Guide itself is highly questionable.
In 2003, after an international investigation led by our own Office of Fair Trading, its publishers were fined £200,000 by a court in Barcelona for tricking 3,500 small businesses into paying thousands of pounds for pointless directory entries. You are right to give this a miss.
Nationwide's £200 'conjuring trick'
D.M.writes: Nationwide Building Society has taken £200 from my credit card account. The money should have been transferred to my wife's account but it disappeared.
Trying to track down your money has been like watching a conjuror shuffle three upturned cups, one with your £200 underneath it.
You even thought you had paid twice, when in fact it was the same money zipping round and round between accounts. You intended to pay £200 into your wife's card account, but it was credited to your own card. A week later you tried again to transfer it, but the £200 stayed in your account. Then a month or so after that, the £200 finally moved to your wife's account.
Nationwide accepts its slip-up and says: 'We will be writing to Mr M to apologise and will credit his account with £75 as a gesture of goodwill.'
We're watching you
Corrupt stockbroker Jay Alan Rutland has been fined £30,000 and banned from the industry for life by the City regulator.
Rutland, 31, was a senior broker at Pacific Continental Securities,
condemned by Financial Mail as Britain's riskiest broking firm. It was
closed down in 2007 after our lengthy investigation exposed massive
corruption and mis-selling.
Compensation claims from investors who were cheated totalled almost £50million.
The Financial Services Authority found that Rutland had 'watered down'
risk warnings that should have been given to clients by junior staff. He
had also improperly used inside information to boost share sales. In
the year before Pacific collapsed, he earned nearly £500,000.
The FSA tried to ban him in 2010, but he lodged an appeal he has only just withdrawn. Revealing details of the case, the FSA said he had shown 'a lack of honesty and integrity'.

30 something manchild is in an argument with his as yet not exgirlfriend about how to pronounce her name. He thinks it's "Brenda" and she thinks it's "Linda"...

But during all that, a 10 year old boy knocks on the door and introduces himself as this 21st century Sam Malone's sperm doned love child...
Fish out of water, instant Dad, you've been to this rodeo before.

Okay, that's funny. :)

It's snigger funny more so than hawhaw funny, but eventually I quite liked most everything about this sitcom and I didn't spoil too much that isn't in the first 5 minutes... I doubt this could ever be the new Friends, but it could certainly be the new It's always Sunny in Philidelphia.

I thought the title of this thread was "Speed is Pretty Funny." I was hoping for either an analysis of the Keannu Reeves starring actioner, or a diatribe on why doing speed is funny.
Oddly I am not disappointed I didn't get what I wanted.
Re: Seed is Pretty Funny.
Your need for speed was denied?
