Arizona Diamondbacks
ESPN insider: Catcher Miguel Montero will be D-backs' 'linchpin' in 2014
Arizona Diamondbacks general manager Kevin Towers might have pulled the trigger on a three-team trade that netted the team power-hitting outfielder Mark Trumbo back in Dec. 2013, but according to one baseball analyst, the team will need another big bat to step up if it plans on finding its way into postseason play.
In an ESPN insider piece this weekend, Buster Olney released his '30 Linchpin Players of 2014' -- a list of the one player for "each of the 30 teams whose performance will be most pivotal."
When it came to the D-backs, Olney believes the onus will be on catcher Miguel Montero to have a big year.
Arizona Diamondbacks: Miguel Montero. They greatly value him, and they're paying him to be a key part of their lineup. When he didn't hit last season, it really, really hurt; he must be an effective complement to Paul Goldschmidt.
Montero, who signed a new five-year, $60-million deal back in May 2012, struggled mightily last season, batting just .230 with 11 home runs and 42 RBI -- his lowest offensive outputs since 2010.
To make matters worse, Montero directed a starting pitching staff that finished No. 19 in ERA (4.13), No. 19 in WHIP (1.32), No. 22 in opponents' BAA (.264) No. 25 in wins (46).
In addition to his struggles on the field, the seven-year veteran missed a majority of August due to a lower back strain.
Montero also underwent surgery to clean up an infection in his left index finger back in October but is expected to be at full strength in 2014. He along with Trumbo will be asked to serve as some additional lineup protection for Paul Goldschmidt (.302 batting average, 36 home runs and 125 RBI), who finished second in the MVP voting despite the catcher's woeful campaign in 2013.

Source of Tinubu's power and influence
Those the Yoruba love are without blemish. Their personal failings are overlooked since in their metaphysical world, not even gods are perfect. Often their leaders emerge from not the aristocratic class but from behind. Awo who has been described as modern day Oduduwa was at different periods a labourer, house boy, fetcher of fire-wood and water for sale and a plank seller. Prominent member of the then Yoruba aristocracy like Adelabu had nothing but disdain for an upstart. But by a dint of hard work, he became an achiever and chose to work and keep faith with his people. He was handsomely rewarded.
The fun loving people of Yoruba nation that celebrate life and death in equal measure, last week celebrated Ahmed Bola Tinubu with a carnival as a living hero supported by the their well wishers across the nation. It was a week of endless adulations. The quality of men and women at the inter denominational service held at Teslim Balogun stadium in Surulere, those at the MUSON centre to watch Odia Ofeimum's play – Nigeria The Beautiful as well as those at the colloquium put together by his friends and chaired by Chief Emeka Anyaoku attest to his stature as a respected Yoruba leader and an accomplished Nigerian politician.
He is highly respected as a leader by those he has groomed and has been variously described by friends, associates and even beneficiaries of his large heartedness as ' an enigma who redefined Nigeria political firmament, 'a grass root mobiliser' a leader who ' touched lives beyond religious, politics or age limit', a 'public servant and a man with exemplary servant-leadership skills'.
Others say he is a consummate politician, a strategist, beacon of democracy, Moses of our time, and a cheerful giver.
There has also been outpouring of adulations from independent observers and even his political opponents. Senate President David Mark calls him "a freedom fighter' and .praised him for playing "a role in the nation's opposition politics in a way that "showed us the lesson to build a strong democracy. Prof Segun Gbadegesin sees him at 60 as having led a meaningful life by promoting the good of community and humanity as a compassionate leader; and Odia Ofeimum, sees him as 'as a political gladiator'. For political opponents like
Governor Aliyu of Niger State, Tinubu remains a reference point in good governance, statesmanship and deepening of nation's democracy. General Buhari, has also observed that he has 'related with him closely for some years now and he struck him as a consummate politician and a very strategic person who thinks on his feet'.
His birthday celebration also attracted over 200 pages of congratulatory advertisements from well wishers in various Nigerian newspapers. For a man out of government, that was a feat that was not matched even by patronage merchants like Babangida and Obasanjo while in office and who only few remembered out of office. Bola Tinubu is probably deserving of all the accolades and even more.
But what can we say is the source of Tinubu's power and influence? We know it is not because he is a cheerful giver because his Yoruba people are a very discerning, independent-minded people that can hardly be purchased. It is beyond being a strategist willing to concede to a weaker group during ACN negotiation with CPC as Mohammed Haruna has observed. It is beyond being a practical politician who also knew when to withdraw from a fruitless negotiation with one with a mind of a feudal lord and disdain for compromise imperatives, the greatest armour of democracy. It is also beyond the master stroke in conceding the speaker-ship of the Lower House initially zoned to the West by PDP to the northwest which gave him the moral voice to insist we must move away from politics of revenue allocation to fiscal federalism.
We can similarly not attribute it to the fact that anything Tinubu touched blossomed. His leading role in frustrating Babangida out of government , making of Nigeria ungovernable for Abacha along with his NADECO colleagues, his moving up of Lagos Internally Generated Revenue (IGR} to over N16 billion from a paltry N600 million of the military period and his funding of guerilla journalism against Abacha and his gang of killers.
Tinubu's greatest strength flows from keeping faith with his people. Unlike the apostle of mainstream, what defines Tinubu is his service to his Yoruba people and this is the basis of his power and influence.
Tinubu's phenomenon has therefore only validated Edmund Burke's thesis that one needs to first be a good representative of his people before he can be an adequate representative of the nation. (This also conforms to the Yoruba saying (ile ni ati nko eso rode) Tinubu is a respected leader of a national political party and an influential opposition leader because he is first the leader of his people.
He, like the sage has remained focused in his commitment to his people despite his disagreement with his Afenifere fathers that imposed him as governor of Lagos State in 2003 as compensation for his NADECO activities. Their common objective was the liberation of the Yoruba nation and other ethnic nationalities from the tyranny of Nigeria state. The only difference was instead of deploying antiquated weapons for fight a modern warfare, he assembled the best brains available. Even Chief Chief Ayo Adebanjo, one of his greatest critics who once said , 'Tinubu has a private agenda that is not consistent with our own philosophy as taught us by Awolowo' has now said in an interview with Vanguard newspaper(quoted by Mohammed Haruna) claiming ' all that he (Tinubu) is doing now, I am in support- to get rid of Obasanjo'.
Having established the source of Tinubu's power and influence, the next question is what else does he want? Segun Ayobolu, one of his young associates provided inkling when he said Tinubu is a man who is never beclouded by short term political advantages. His objective he says is always on the long term political advantage.
It is perfectly normal for BAT to nurse an ambition. It is in the character of prominent members of oligarchy either in dictatorship or democracy. Leaders often grow to believe they are gods, get immersed in the worries about their 'sense of self worth'. Not even our highly regarded nationalists escaped this temptation. For their selfish ambition to remain in power without opposition or to take over power, they undermined the spirit of the independence constitution which resulted in imposing on our people the same evils they jointly fought against under colonial rule. .
Whatever agenda Tinubu may nurse, he is no doubt conscious of the source of his current power and influence and why he today towers above Obasanjo and other Nigerian former leaders who had been Head of state without representing anyone. He is also a witness to the sad end of his illustrious forbearers (Awo, Akintola, MKO Abiola and Bola Ige) who had thought they could impose their own values system on other ethnic groups with different level of cultural development.
All this and his short sojourn at the centre when he barely escaped with his life will therefore inform his decision as to whether to remain a kingmaker and serve those who have chosen him a leader or driven by sense of self worth like most members of oligarchy, gamble into the slippery and shirk invested politics at the centre.

Published in Europe
Keywords: His Holiness benedict XVI, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, Holy Father, Papacy, Birthday, Benedicts Birthday, Deacon Keith Fournier
CHESAPEAKE, VA (Catholic Online) - His Holiness Benedict XVI turned 86 years old on April 16, 2013. That morning the Holy Father Francis offered Mass in the chapel of the Domus Sanctae Marthae and told the faithful:
"Today is Benedict XVI's birthday. We offer the Mass for him, so that the Lord be with him, comfort him, and give him much consolation."
This simple man, His Holiness Benedict XVI, chose to celebrate his birthday with his brother - with no fanfare. Notice how he has just gotten out of the picture. I think it speaks volumes about his genuine humility. How refreshing the virtue of humility truly is in an age filled up with so much secualr leadership infected with narcissism.
Last year, when celebrating Mass on the day of his 85th birthday, Pope Emeritus Benedict opened his heart up in a homily. It offers us insights into who he is. It reveals his personal, living faith, the beauty of his spirit, and his capacity for profound theological reflection. So I offer a few excerpts:
'On the same day I was born, thanks to my parent's concern, I was also reborn through water and the Holy Spirit. First, there is the gift of life that my parents gave me in very difficult times, and for which I thank them.'
'But it cannot be taken for granted that human life in itself is a gift. Can it really be a beautiful gift? Do we know what will befall man in the dark days ahead - or in the brighter days that could come? Can we foresee to what troubles, what terrible events he might be exposed? Is it right to simply give life like this? Is it responsible or too uncertain? It is a problematic gift, if it is left to itself.'
'Biological life is in itself a gift, but it is surrounded by a great question. It becomes a true gift only if, along with it, we are given a promise that is stronger than any evil that could threaten us, if it is immersed in a power that ensures that it is good to be human, that there will be good for this person no matter what the future brings.'
'Thus, with birth is associated rebirth, the certitude that, truly, it is good to be alive, because the promise is stronger than evil. This is the meaning of rebirth by water and the Holy Spirit: to be immersed in the promise that only God can make - it is good that you exist, and you can be certain of that whatever comes. With this assurance I was able to live, reborn by water and the Holy Spirit.'
'Nicodemus asks the Lord: 'How can an old man possibly be reborn?'. Now, rebirth is given to us in Baptism, but we must continually grow in it, we must always let ourselves be immersed by God in his promise, in order to be truly reborn in the great, new family of God which is stronger than every weakness and than any negative power that threatens us. Therefore, this is a day of great thanksgiving.'
'The day I was baptized, as I said, was Holy Saturday. Then it was still customary to anticipate the Easter Vigil in the morning, which would still be followed by the darkness of Holy Saturday, without the Alleluia. It seems to me that this singular paradox, this singular anticipation of light in a day of darkness, could almost be an image of the history of our times.'
'On the one hand, there is still the silence of God and his absence, but in the Resurrection of Christ there is already the anticipation of the "yes" of God, and on the basis of this anticipation we live and, through the silence of God, we hear him speak, and through the darkness of his absence we glimpse his light. The anticipation of the Resurrection in the middle of an evolving history is the power that points out the way to us and helps us to go forward.'
'Let us thank the good Lord for he has given us this light and let us pray to him so that it might endure forever. And on this day I have special cause to thank him and all those who have ever anew made me perceive the presence of the Lord, who have accompanied me so that I might never lose the light.'
'I am now facing the last chapter of my life and I do not know what awaits me. I know, however, that the light of God exists, that he is Risen, that his light is stronger than any darkness, that the goodness of God is stronger than any evil in this world. And this helps me to go forward with certainty. May this help us to go forward, and at this moment I wholeheartedly thank all those who have continually helped me to perceive the "yes" of God through their faith.'
I believe that His Holiness Benedict XVI will go down in history as one of the great Popes of Church history. When he was elected, some observers indicated his age would make him some sort of caretaker Pope. His pontificate demonstrated they were absolutely wrong.
In 2005 he stepped onto the balcony overlooking St. Peters Square calling himself 'a simple, humble worker in the vineyard of the Lord.' That is what he proved himself to be in his years of service to the Lord and His Church. Christian History will record his pontificate with admiration and esteem.
He continued, 'That the Lord can work and act even with insufficient means consoles me, and above all I entrust myself to your prayers. In the joy of the risen Lord, trusting in his permanent help, we go forward." And we did go forward with him at the helm of the Church.
Benedict XVI knew the great need the Church has for the New Evangelization. He not only proclaimed it he established it formally with its own dicastery within the structure of the Vatican. He also knew the need we had for solid catechetical teaching, so he left a legacy in his magisterial teaching. It will be unpacked for years to come.
He actively participated in the Second Vatican Council and understood the authentic teaching of that Council. Thus, he also understood the way that the Council was hijacked in some circles, disregarded in others and misinterpreted in still others. He worked tirelessly to secure its true interpretation.
He was a voice for orthodox and faithful Catholic Christian faith, practice, worship and life. In his homily prior to the convening of the conclave where he was chosen to fill the Chair of Peter, then Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger gave this prophetic insight:
'How many winds of doctrine we have known in recent decades, how many ideological currents, how many ways of thinking... The small boat of thought of many Christians has often been tossed about by these waves - thrown from one extreme to the other: from Marxism to liberalism, even to libertinism; from collectivism to radical individualism; from atheism to a vague religious mysticism; from agnosticism to syncretism, and so forth.'
'Every day new sects are created and what Saint Paul says about human trickery comes true, with cunning which tries to draw those into error (cf Eph 4, 14). Having a clear faith, based on the Creed of the Church, is often labeled today as a fundamentalism.
'Whereas, relativism, which is letting oneself be tossed and swept along by every wind of teaching, looks like the only attitude (acceptable) to today's standards. We are moving towards a dictatorship of relativism which does not recognize anything as for certain and which has as its highest goal one's own ego and one's own desires.'
Some tried to misuse this insight to paint him as a man who rejected the modern world. That was nonsense. What he rejected was what he accurately referred to as the dictatorship of relativism. What he proposed was a path - not to the past - but to a future of hope and authentic freedom. He made it crystal clear that the path passed through an encounter with the Risen Jesus Christ as he can be found in the heart of the Church.
He reminded all of the members of that Church that we all must proclaim that Jesus Christ is still the Way, the Truth and the Life, with both our words and our lifestyle. He insisted that all men and women have a right to 'know the truth' and that only the truth can them free. Then he challenged us to live and proclaim it, no matter what our state in life.
Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI was a rebuilder of the foundation stones of the deposit of faith handed down to us from the Apostles. He defended it well and presented it afresh. He knew that the Catholic faith is ever ancient and ever new. He laid a solid foundation for his dear successor named Francis to now build upon.
A theologian and scholar of the highest order, it was mostly because he was a man of deep, personal and intimate prayer. He always reminded me of my favorite definitions of a theologian offered by the early Christian monk, Evagrius of Pontus. Evagrius wrote that "a theologian is one who prays" and "a theologian is one who rests his head on the chest of Christ."
Benedict's rich teachings to the faithful, as well as his books, will become the source of prayerful reflection and theological instruction for many years to come. They also included some of the finest hagiography, the stories of the saints, which we have had in centuries.
Benedict made Church history, when Motu Propio, he released of the Apostolic Constitution on Groups of Anglicans which has begun the healing of the divided Western Church. The fruits of these Ordinariates will be recounted by future historians as among the most important events in the Third Millennium of Christian history.
He earned the great respect of Patriarchs and leaders of the Orthodox Church and made real, substantive progress toward healing the wounds between Eastern and Western Christianity which will make the Third Millennium a millennium of communion.
He championed the re-christianizing of Europe and, even in the face of hostility, called her to return to her Christian roots in order to find again her greatness. He was an advocate for the New Ecclesial movements, helping with his pastoral oversight to ensure that they are rooted in the heart of the Church and received as a gift and resource for this new missionary age.
He doggedly defended religious freedom as a fundamental human right. He engaged the Islamic world with great charity and courage on the ground of a dialogue in truth. He began the Courts of the Gentiles outreach engaging atheists and agnostics.
The Church was truly blessed to have His Holiness XVI at the helm. On his 86th Birthday I ask all of our readers to join me in praying for this man who led the Church with such beauty, simplicity, depth, humility and grace.
In some ways, Blessed John Paul was the evangelizer, His Holiness Benedict was the teacher and our Holy Father Francis is the Pastor. Of course, each of them participated in all three tasks as they exercised their office. However, it was a matter of emphasis, or so it seems to me.
The Lord loves His Church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against her. (Matt. 16:18) He has given us such good gifts in the modern popes. Happy Birthday Benedict - and thank you.

Does Shaolin Kung Fu Exist?
I've seen a few posts in other forums about Shaolin Kung Fu not really "existing" - usually this was spoken of in the sense that the entire "common knowledge" history of Shaolin Kung Fu is false.
I know that some of these people are probably trolling, but I'm truly interested in the actual history of the Shaolin Temple and it's art.
Can anyone clarify for me what they're talking about? Am I not asking a specific enough question?
Here read these you'll see why.
Now, there is a guy who researches on Kung Fu Forum online that had found books saying the Temple was first a military instillation.
I'll see if I can find the thread.

Now from what I understand shaolin does have two different groups. One that does kung fu for demos and travel and such and the other is the actual warrior monks that learn it for fighting.
Now when the temple was burned it did loose alot of their information in regards to different styles, so I figure when they started to rebuild they got together and tried to fill in the blanks (for lack of a better term).
I would say that their is probably true shaolin out there but will we ever see it ..I doubt it just all the pretenders. Plus it would be to deadly for our eyes and they would melt in our heads.

It is what you heard. Not saying you are wrong just saying this is one of at least 100 different variations.
Shaolin is piecemeal.
Monks hid and taught out the real shaolin.
There were layman monks that ate meat, fought, and were married.
That it was a rebel location whose front was a monastery.
There was no fighting by the monks it was actually the rebels who trained not the monks.
You guys want me to keep going? These are thing I have read in articles, books and seen in documentaries.

Pardon me while I wax philosophically for a moment. If we think about the Shaolin Temple in terms of "what is" rather than "what should be" or "what was" we can only conclude that it is a cynical tourist attraction sponsored by a totalitarian police state and about as historically authentic as a trip to the old time picture booth at Knott's Berry Farm.
Think of the temple as China's version of "Camelot" and Shaolin Monks as the "Knights of the Round Table." Both may have existed. But what really went down is so muddied by unsubstaniated historical records, legend, movies, and the wishful thinking of credulous fanboys that you could go nuts trying to sort it all out.

Some "Shaolin monks" (there's a ton of schools around the Shaolin temple that claim to do the same stuff) did a demo at my kwoon because we did a lion dance for the opening of some big fancy show they were doing in San Diego. It was kind of cool, but it looked a hell of a lot like wushu.

London Irish v Saracens - Aviva Premiership match preview
Last Updated: 09/02/13 2:32pm
Scott Lawson, George Skivington and Ian Humphreys all return to the London Irish starting XV for Saturday's Premiership clash with Saracens at the Madejski Stadium.
Lawson will be joined by Max Lahiff and Halani Aulika in the front row; George Skivington partners Bryn Evans in the second row, the New Zealander will also captain the side, while Ian Humphreys and Pat Phibbs will form the half-back pairing.
England centre Jonathan Joseph was a late withdrawal for the hosts due to an ankle injury - Guy Armitage switching to outside centre and Shane Geraghty stepping into the starting XV at 12.
"It's great that we will be back playing at Madejski in front of our home crowd in such a big game," stated London Irish director of rugby Brian Smith.
"Saracens are a formidable team in the Aviva Premiership and Europe and they'll give us a thorough examination. In saying that, we don't fear any team in this league and the boys are itching to put in a big performance and hopefully get the result as well."
Sarries on form
Meanwhile, Saracens will be looking to extend a formidable winning run that stretches back eight games in all competitions.
The Londoners are able to count on the services of David Strettle, Will Fraser, George Kruis, Duncan Taylor and Joel Tomkins after international duty and all five start against the Exiles.
Steve Borthwick is also back to captain the side and forms a second-row partnership with Alistair Hargreaves, while Neil de Kock, Matt Stevens and John Smit return to the starting line-up.
Alex Goode, Chris Ashton, Brad Barritt, Owen Farrell, Mako Vunipola and Kelly Brown miss the game as they are still away with their national sides.
London Irish: 15 Tom Homer, 14 Topsy Ojo, 13 Guy Armitage, 12 Shane Geraghty, 11 Marland Yarde, 10 Ian Humphreys, 9 Pat Phibbs, 8 Chris Hala'ufia 7 Jebb Sinclair, 6 Matt Garvey, 5 Bryn Evans (Captain), 4 George Skivington, 3 Halani Aulika, 2 Scott Lawson, 1 Max Lahiff

Again I have been remiss in writing my blog. I don't have any good excuses to impart so I will just accept that I am becoming tardy as the weeks roll on and perhaps becoming complacent with my lifestyle here.
New Zealand offers a fantastic lifestyle in that the scenery is breathtaking no matter where you visit. The people are, for the most part. Friendly, jovial and laid back. There doesn't appear to be any airs and graces with most of them. They just accept life is what it is and if you get a knock they just accept that and get up and get on with it. I quite like that ethos.
There is a downside though. The food is…… fattening. Nearly all of it is fast food and in every town there will be McDonalds, Burger King, Domino's. Pizza Hut, KFC, Wendy's et al. Every other shop is either a coffee shop or pie shop. They have food halls that will have Robert Harris Café, Muffin Break, Coffee Worx, Yellow Rocket Bagel and the list just goes on and on. Food is almost a god to the Kiwi's but……. It is all fast food. Very little home cooking goes on from what I've seen. There is quite a lot in the newspapers about obesity and it certainly shows in the size of the kids. I've explained the foregoing as I need an excuse for why I've put on weight………….. Just thought I would get that in early.
Well most of my friends and colleagues have returned to their respective countries and my buddy Robert has gone off to Tauranga in my place until I take over on 5th December for my last 2 months and I am left with only 2 colleagues about my age with whom to socialise.
As most of you know I only have Sunday as a day off. I had been pretty busy during the past weeks and had fallen behind with some reports I had to write so I decided to stay in on Sunday 9th to catch up. I am pleased to say that I did. Note did. I need to try and catch up again now. That Sunday the Prime Minister John Key was here in Christchurch at Hagley Park enjoying watching the the rugby with Cantabrians on the giant TV screens. Just as the match was about to start we were hit with a 5.5 earthquake that rolled on. Most people were worried thinking that something more was on its way. During the Saturday afternoon for a period of about 20 minutes we had experienced over 10 shakes culminating in a couple of 4.8's. I was in the supermarket during that Saturday and the racks were swaying backwards and forwards. It was quite surreal really. Anyway John Key hadn't experienced an earthquake and now understood why Cantabrians were leaving in such droves. He found the earthquake quite interesting.
Last Sunday (16th October) 3 of us – me, Chris and Sue - decided it was time to try out the Tranz Alp Railway and travel from Christchurch through the Southern Alps to Greymouth. The train journey was long – 6 hours but the scenery was glorious. We travelled through Arthurs Pass and onto Otira both high in the mountains and thence to Greymouth. There is an open sided carriage that allows the passenger to take natural photos as the train hurtles across the tracks. The only trouble was the Japanese hogged that carriage all the way so we had to barge our way through to get even a smattering of au natural photos. The train, as I said earlier, is travelling the Southern Alps and every time I had framed a good photo we entered a tunnel. I gave up eventually and just took in the surroundings. We had a real laugh and my acerbic wit was met with much enthusiasm as well as encouragement I might add. My cohorts who had participated in the mirth accused me of calling a spade a spade and that they needed to be careful in my presence for fear of what I might say to and about them. It was of course said with much love. For my part I say it as I see it – with a modicum of humour thrown in so I will just carry on doing what I do in my own sweet way – no offense meant and none taken. The first part of the journey ended at Greymouth a non-descript place and we spent a short interlude having a hot drink and a sandwich before returning to the train and enjoying the return to Christchurch. It was a really relaxing day. Only pictures can give a flavour of the scenery and these are in the album 'Tranz Alp' attached to my blog. If you are interested have a look. The photos are mainly scenery based.
I've had a varied caseload to deal with and its all been very interesting. I have had squash clubs, tennis clubs, cricket clubs, abbatoirs, manufacturing plants and all sorts to deal with. When I get back to the UK it's going to be very different.
This weekend I decided to fly down to Queenstown to enjoy the andrenalin rush that is Queenstown. The place is about white knuckle activities, music, people and beautiful scenery. I left Christchurch and flew into Queenstown arriving at 8:25am. My accommodation was at the Hilton Kawarau Hotel right on the banks of Lake Wakatipu. I had pre-booked to have a ride on the Shotover River Jet Boat Saturday morning so took a quick taxi to the hotel to get changed before returning to Queenstown to make my connection. We travelled by bus down to the Shotover River where we were given our briefing and wet protective jackets. The boat called 'Big Red' holds 16, travels at upto 85km/h in 10cms of water. The boat turns on a sixpence. Its powered by 2 V8 jet impeller engines that shoots out water at 760 litres a second and that gives its power and speed. Lesson over – the ride was fast, bumpy and furious and highly enjoyable. For those of you on FaceBook and part of my friends circle you can watch me in the boat enjoying the ride. That over I returned to Queenstown where I was due to go on a Lord of the Rings tour. I had an hour or so to kill and down on the marina they were hosting a jazz fest so I ventured to it. The weather was beautiful, hot and sunny so I sat on the grass and listened to the music (if you can call jazz music).
There were only 2 of us on the Lord of the Rings Tour and our guide basically said we could do what we wanted. The tour is about scenery and where certain of the action took place. It was actually quite revealing and shows the imagination of Peter Jackson in getting the scene he wants for that part of the movie. The tour was most interesting and we stumbled on the next chapter in the making of the Lord of the Rings – The Hobbit. We couldn't get close to where they were building the sets but there was a lot of action going on for a Sunday. As I said the scenery was stunning and probably can only be truly appreciated by doing the route in real life. I have put my photos on the blog site under album LOTR. Enjoy and be envious.
I returned to the hotel by 7.30pm. Had a few minutes to repose and revive myself and then went down to the lake restaurant for an evening of indulgent eating and drinking which is what I did – and without any regrets. It was gone 11 pm by the time I fell into my room and got myself ready for bed. Sunday arrived and I went in search of the massage clinic where I had booked for a sports massage treatment. It was good and I felt rejuvenated after it.
My flight back to Christchurch was at 14:30 so I had an hour or so to enjoy the Hotel surroundings and the Lake. What a cool place. The grounds and vista are truly spectacular. Photos are in the album Kawarau Hotel. The weekend was all too short and over far too quickly. It wasn't long before I was back in my motel room and back in the swing of it.
Next weekend I am going on another jet boat ride along the Waimakariri River over by Springfield.

Originally written on The Outside Corner | Last updated 2/10/13
Carl Pavano, you've got company. Boston Red Sox outfield prospect Bryce Brentz won't be in major league camp with the team this spring because of an offseason injury he suffered. OK, that's completely normal, these things happen every so often. Except Brentz's injury isn't exactly run of the mill: he shot himself through his leg while cleaning his gun. I'm not going to use this post to make any statements about gun rights or ownership, but this takes the cake for "most ridiculous injury" I've seen in quite awhile. Good for him for cleaning his gun and maintaining it, but it was pretty careless for him to make sure it wasn't loaded before cleaning it so that something like this happened. At the end of the day, he avoided serious inury, but this could have been a lot worse for his career and his life. Imagine if the gun discharged and shattered a bone in his leg, or even worse, hit the femoral artery and caused him to bleed out. So in the future, Bryce...just be a little more careful, alright?

His choice might be Kaberle for 2009 1st round pick (15-20 overall)
Kaberle for 2010 1st round pick (? overall) + good prospect
Unless Burke has his eye on someone specific in this year's draft, he might be willing to take the latter...
However, having said that, Burke will value 2009 picks > 2010 picks, not just because this year is supposed to be deeper, but because a 2009 pick will most likely play in the NHL earlier than a 2010 pick. This seems to be something Burke does value...

1894 Twenty Dollar, MS651894 $20 MS65 PCGS. Gem Liberty Head double eagles, relatively speaking, are many, many times rarer than the Saint-Gaudens twenties; collectors eagerly stretch to acquire nice examples at auction. The sole exception to this conditional rarity is, of course, the ultracommon 1904 date, which currently comprises about 80% of the 5,500 or so Liberty Head Type Three examples at PCGS. Nonetheless, PCGS has seen nearly 100,000 submissions at the Gem grade of the Saint-Gaudens With Motto type, all dates -- about 18 times more than the Liberty Head Type Threes.
Condition Rarity, In-Demand Type
Condition Rarity, In-Demand Type
This Gem 1894 Liberty Head thus emerges as a conditional rarity for the type and the date -- but it is also a mighty attractive coin in its own right. Deep, thorough mint bloom radiates from each side, the surfaces a mellow reddish-orange and every bit as unperturbed as the grade suggests. The surprisingly bold strike has produced full star centrils around the obverse periphery, and good articulation of Liberty's hair details. On the reverse, all of the fine detailing in the glory of rays, the eagle's feathers, and the shield stripes are equally well brought up. A great type coin. Population: 2 in 65, 0 finer (5/13).(Registry values: N4719) (NGC ID# 26CB, PCGS# 9025)

27 year old woman | Surprise, AZ, USA | Seeking men 26-32 within 50 miles of Sun City, AZ
Be in love with your life. Every minute of it
Hey there, so im new to the whole online dating but I am over the bar scene and wanting someone who is ready to settle down so I thought I would give it a shot. I like staying in shape and working out or doing something active, anything outdoors count me in! I am a very kind, generous, outgoing, goofy, charismatic and honest person. My friends and family is my life. I am very family oriented and my family means everything to me. I love to spend time with them and enjoy everything we do together. I don't have any problem laughing at myself, it usually happens more often then not. I love to go hiking, fishing, camping, boating, snorkeling, skiing/ snow boarding(not the greatest snow border but would love to learn). I prefer beer over a mixed drink. I like to get dressed up and go out but I am also very laid back and don't mind hanging out at home and relaxing with my man. I am adventurous, I want to experience everything life has to offer! I want someone who I can wake up to each morning and they still give me butterflies. Someone who is going to make me laugh uncontrollably, to the point of peeing my pants! I want a man who is willing to try new things, is adventurous, a man who can keep up with me and challenges me everyday. You have to have a great sense of humor and willing to laugh at yourself and not take life to seriously at times. A man who knows how to treat a women the way she deserves to be treated. Someone who enjoys spending as much time with their family as I do. I really want someone who is honest and will be honest with me, not a flake or a lier. I want to travel and see the world one day and I want someone who wants to do the same thing. I am looking for a real relationship. If you want to get to know me better shoot me an email and let's see where it goes from there.

Gentleman with Humor Searching for Best Friend and Sweet Love...
Thanks for stopping by... PLEASE NOTE: I'm presently living in Cabo, but returning home for good in the Spring! If you would rather wait, I understand. But, starting now could give us a positive head start? As far as me, I have been married once. We were together for 21 years, and had two wonderful children. The first, our daughter, and then our terrific son. They are both happy and fully grown. As a matter of fact, my daughter has blessed us with our first grandson! After being divorced for a few years, I met someone that was to become my very best friend and lover. We were together for 11 very interesting years and engaged for three; until her passing on Thanksgiving day of 2011. It was an extreme shock to me and all of our friends and family. It has been a difficult time, especially as I'd never lost anyone so very young, and so close to me. However, there were certain reasons why we were never married. I know that she is in a very wonderful place now where there is no depression. This past year has been a time of grief, growth and maturity for me. I am now fully confident that I'm more than ready to find the proverbial "love of my life!" Boy am I. You would find me with a smile on my face these days. Two of my favorite things are laughter and good food. When hungry, not necessarily in that order...lol But both of course, are best when shared with our significant other! All and all I'm looking for a Lovely Lady that enjoys Life, Liberty, Love, Laughter, Soft Lips, Warm Days, and Cool Nights! I'm healthy, but not because I chose to eat like a "wabbit!" I'm a meat, potatoes, vegetable, bread and sometimes, desert after dinner kind of guy, unless we're drinking! Socially of course! I have a propensity for being romantic and enjoy seeing her face after receiving flowers with a lovely hand written card. Hopefully from me? I have warm hands and feet with very few vises. And, I love my fellow man, unless of course I'm behind a steering wheel. Just kidding. Or......am.......I........huuum? Oh sorry, I guess I've enjoyed too many "Simpson's" episodes with my children over the years? I have always been athletic, a leader, but have disdain for bad boys and bully's. Quite honestly, It has always been a curiosity to me why some are drawn to these small minded people? Life is just too short to harvest pain! Happily I'm also a giver not a taker. I usually even find it embarrassing to receive complements; but I do like to give them! And, I feel helping those less fortunate is one of life's greatest responsibilities and rewards... Don't you just love roaring with a belly laugh and watery eye's when you're having so much fun just being together? I also love the mutual passion that can follow. I have a place in Cabo San Lucas Mexico. As a matter of fact, I'm staying there right now! I will be returning to Orange County in the Spring for good! I was of course home for the Holidays; the cold damp Holidays! It was so nice to be home, but what a thrill it was landing in that 80 weather again! Although I do have some friends here, I really am mostly alone. I have found it to be a very healing and rich experience to enjoy the occasional solitude with only my dogs Gadget and Bentley That may sound strange, but it has helped me in my mourning for my Fiancee' in many positive ways that I couldn't have experienced at home in O.C... Plus, visiting the many places where we shared so many dreams together became way too painful. But here as they say, There are "No bad days!" well... just a few. So here I am looking for my best friend and lover to spend the rest of my life with. Drop me a line if you have some interest? If we do enjoy the exchange of some e-mails, I also have a local O.C. number for friends family through magic jack! I can promise you that we would enjoy some good laughs! that is as long as you're a good kisser?

As you can see my dogs are Maltese' so if you have something that might eat them, lets pass! By the way, I bought them for my Fiancee. Now that she's gone I feel like people think I'm gay? lol Not that there's any thing wrong with that!
I enjoy almost all travel destinations. I presently have a place in Los Cabos, MX where I spend much of my time. I have a lovely guest room with private bath; come on down!..........No wait! Lets please see if we have a little of that magic first?
Brooks Institute, Santa Barbara, CA
My favorite thing to do is to be any where when I'm with the one I love. I do enjoy music and singing to every thing but " Rap" and "Very Heavy Metal", I even enjoy "The Chicken Dance" to Polka. Bet you do too?
I enjoy going for bike rides, whether power or peddling. I used to live on my boat in Dana Point and hope to buy another one some time in the future, as I love the ocean and all it offers us! And, I know you would find me very versatile in all I do.
Would you believe I enjoy reading the "National Enquirer?" When I was away at college my mom used to send me her copy's; I've been reading them ever since! lol ...But true!

text: It's hard to judge the negatives with scans to the web. The positive image looks a bit underexposed, but the uninverted image looks pretty good. You are getting an awful lot of density for your exposure time. Stopping down to f/16 may help, giving you more time to work. The higher contrast seems to help, which makes me think that the negatives may be underdeveloped, but not by a lot. The uninverted image of the negative doesn't support that, however, and it may or may not be the case. The short exposure time also makes me think that you may have negatives that are too thin to print well - most likely do to underexposure. Try doing some bracketed exposures and develop normally to see if it really is an exposure problem.

During 1997 we evaluated reproductive success in colonial water birds nesting in the Lower Rio Grande Valley (LRGV), Texas, and correlated success with concentrations of contaminants in eggs. We also measured steroid hormones and gonadosomatic index (GSI) as biomarkers of endocrine effects in common carp (Cyprinus carpio). Nest and fledging success of green herons (Butorides virescens) and great egrets (Ardea alba) were similar to those found in other parts of North America; however, nesting success of black-crowned night-herons (Nycticorax nycticorax) was lower, very likely due to flooding of the nesting area. Except for DDE and toxaphene, all chlorinated pesticides in bird eggs were low and not of concern for negative effects on any of the three species. DDE was highest in green heron eggs and seemed to increase along a geographic gradient from west to east, with eggs from Falcon Reservoir containing low concentrations, and those at Los Indios containing the highest concentrations (approx. 11,000 ng/g WW), near or above the threshold for reproductive impairment. DDE levels in great egrets and black-crowned night-herons were below those that are associated with reproductive impairment. Mean DDE levels in carp at the JAS Farms site were above the threshold level suggested for predator protection. Toxaphene was detected in about 20% of the samples with high levels observed in green heron eggs from Los Indios (mean = 4,402 ng/g WW). These are the highest toxaphene levels reported in bird eggs in the LRGV. Toxaphene levels in fish ranged between 90 and 312 ng/g WW. In general, PCBs in bird eggs and fish tissue were low and at levels not of concern for reproductive effects. The greatest concentrations of testosterone and 11-ketotestosterone were detected in fish from the JAS Farms site, which also had the greatest concentrations of DDE. Increased androgen production and gonad development in fish at this site, relative to Pharr, could be possibly associated with endocrine disrupting effects of p,p'-DDE. DDE, toxaphene, PCBs, and hormones were highest in birds and fish from the eastern edge of the study area.
