Who has been the best Kansas City Royals player so far this year?
Asked at Massachusetts Street on June 6, 2010
"That would be David DeJesus, but I'm not very happy about it."
"Undoubtedly, Billy Butler. I think he's been consistent the whole year. … He's got one of the best averages in the league right now."
"(Zack) Greinke, his stats are comparable to most top major league pitchers, but the just doesn't have the run support from his team."
"(Yuniesky) Betancourt was good on Monday."

"...Greinke, his tats are comparable... "
I assume that "tats" is a typo. Because otherwise that would be kind of funny.

How about Mike Aviles? He has made some great catches the last two games. I also agree with David DeJesus.

The guy who orders the tarp to cover the field on a rainy day?
TheStonesSuck 5 years, 1 month ago
You guys must be watching a different team. The way I see it, the kings are gettin a lot better. We have decent pitching right now, despite the rotation's high ERA. The bullpen shows signs of establishing a nice groove, and we've got one of the better offenses in the American league. Don't underestimate the power of a little confidence...coach Ned and the guys seem to actually believe that the team can win games! Like it or not, that hasn't been the case around KC for a while now....Let's Go Royals!!!!!

InfoWorld review: Cisco UCS wows
Cisco's Unified Computing System is a more manageable, more scalable, and essentially superior blade server system, despite 1.0 warts
Bottom Line
Cisco UCS 1.0 is like no other blade-based server infrastructure available today. Its reliance on 10Gb Ethernet grants it plenty of bandwidth, while Cisco's model of treating chassis as simple extensions of the fabric allows for a new order of scalability and significant reliability. Cisco started from the ground up and really has built a new way to manage server resources.
Revolutionary. Cutting edge. State of the art. These are words and phrases that are bandied around so very many products in the IT field that they become useless, bland, expected. The truth is that truly revolutionary products are few and far between. That said, Cisco's Unified Computing System fits the bill.
To fully understand what Cisco has done requires that you dispense with preconceived notions of blade servers and blade chassis. Rewire your concepts of KVM, console access, and network and storage interfaces. Reorganize how you think of your datacenter as islands of servers surrounded by storage arrays and networks. Cisco had the advantage of starting from scratch with a blade-based server platform, and it's made the most of it.
[ Compare Cisco UCS to traditional blade server systems. Compare Cisco UCS to HP BladeSystem Matrix. ]
In short, UCS is built around a familiar concept -- the blade chassis -- but rearchitects it to enable both greater manageability and greater scalability. For the architectural background, read my summary, "How Cisco UCS reinvents the datacenter." This article focuses on the nitty-gritty details of UCS, and my experiences working with the system in a recent visit to Cisco's San Jose test labs.
UCS building blocks
A Cisco UCS chassis provides eight slots for half-width blades, each equipped with two Intel Nehalem processors, up to 96GB of RAM with 8GB DIMMs, two SAS drive slots, an LSI Logic SAS RAID controller, and a connection to the blade backplane. In addition, each blade is outfitted with a Cisco Converged Network Adapter, or CNA. The CNA is essentially the heart of the system, the component that makes UCS unlike traditional blade systems.
The CNA is a mezzanine board that fits a QLogic 4Gb Fibre Channel HBA and an Intel 10Gb Ethernet interface on a single board, connecting directly to the chassis network fabric. The presentation to the blade is two 10Gb NICs and two 4Gb FC ports, with two 10Gb connections to the backplane on the other side. The initial release does not support multiple CNAs per blade, or really even require one. But the CNA is integral to how the entire UCS platform operates, as it essentially decouples the blade from traditional I/O by pushing storage and network through two 10Gb pipes. This is accomplished through the use of FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet). Everything leaving the blade is thus Ethernet, with the FC traffic broken out by the brains of the operation, the Fabric Interconnects (FI).
So we have some number of CNA-equipped blades in a chassis. We also have two four-port 10Gb fiber interface cards in the same chassis and two FIs downstream that drive everything. It's not technically accurate to call the FIs switches, since the chassis function more like remote line cards populated with blades. No switching occurs in the chassis themselves; they are simply backplanes for blades that have direct connections to the FIs. Physically, the FIs are identical in appearance to Cisco Nexus 5000 switches, but they have more horsepower and storage to handle the FCoE to FC breakout tasks. They offer 20 10Gb ports, and they support a single expansion card each.
The expansion cards come in a few different flavors, supporting either four 4Gb FC ports and four 10Gb Ethernet ports, or six 10Gb Ethernet ports, or eight 4Gb FC ports. This is in addition to the twenty 10Gb ports built into each FI. There are also three copper management and clustering ports, as well as the expected serial console port. The FI is wholly responsible for the management and orchestration of the UCS solution, running both the CLI and GUI interface natively -- no outside server-based component is required.

Book Hive Teaser Trailer from Adam Laity on Vimeo.
Black Cat Films presents a teaser trailer for the new Rusty Squid project, BOOK HIVE- an interactive artwork now showing at Bristol Central Library.
Book Hive is an interactive sculpture created to celebrate the 400 year anniversary of Bristol Libraries, and it will ultimately feature 400 animatronic books. Large wooden structures awash with honey light will engulf visitors in an immersive and atmospheric environment, where life-like animated books, inhabiting the cells will physically engage visitors, reacting to their movements in the space. Book Hive is a three month project, where the public gets the opportunity to influence its development. Rusty Squid will observe the public's behaviour, and with the assistance of the Book Hive Keepers (exhibition stewards), collect feedback, in order to transform the shape of the hive and the way that the books respond.

Step 1: thinking Snape is a bad guy
Step 2: thinking Snape is a good guy
Step 3: realising as you mature as a person that Snape was actually a terrible person after all and was an abusive bully who didn't grown out of this stage even into his late 30s and an obsessive person who thought he was entitled to Lily just because she showed him friendship and no matter how many bias memories of his you are shown you will never see him in any different way
unfortunately some people are still stuck in stage 2
Step 4: Realizing Dumbledore was manipulative and abusive as well and not the infallible person everyone believed him to be.
Step 5: Discovering that the only person as golden as their reputation portrayed and knew what the fuck was going on was Minerva McGonagall and she was amazing.

When a dancer appeared Saturday on the Belvedere, Bobbi Jo Saxon of Elizabethtown thought little of it, as the popular Louisville attraction was busy with families and couples enjoying the afternoon.
Saxon was there with her girlfriend, Kara Gilkey, and their son, Tristan, for his 2-year-old birthday photoshoot, when the music began and the dancer distracted the session.
A mobile historic exhibit allowed visitors to make important decisions about slavery and the law.
The Kentucky Historic Society's exhibit, titled "Torn Within and Threatened Without: Kentuckians in the Civil War Era," was parked in a lot off Main Street in conjunction with Second Saturday in downtown Elizabethtown.
Two indictments were returned by a Hardin County grand jury last week, both for bail jumping.
Randell L. Butler, 36, of Mount Sherman, and Eric Simondiski, 34, of Elizabethtown, both were charged with first-degree bail jumping said they were released on bail and did not appear at scheduled court appearances.
Two men from Radcliff were arrested Saturday night by Radcliff police for trafficking in methamphetamine.
Michael Dale Daniel, 27, and Damon Blake Fines, 23, are being held in the Hardin County Detention Center in lieu of $7,500 cash bonds.

"May you live in interesting times." It's allegedly a translation of a Chinese proverb, but Wikipedia can't even figure out who actually said it first. Regardless, a job at the Federal Reserve Board should be extremely "interesting" over the next year (at the very least). With Bear Stearns almost falling into bankruptcy, and a lot of other investment banks in trouble, a job in finance doesn't look nearly as attractive as it did a year ago. Still, if you're interested in economics, finance, or a related field, a job at the Federal Reserve Board is a great alternative. Although connected to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the Federal Reserve Board is a different entity. If you don't already know, the Fed, which is led by Chairman Ben Bernanke, is responsible for crafting the monetary policy that supports the American economy.
Whether you were too late in trying to get a job with an investment bank or you're looking to get a Ph.D in Economics, the Federal Reserve Board still has a lot of entry-level job opportunities. Their hiring process is interesting for a government employer, since they don't go through USAjobs.gov, but instead have their own system. If you want to be a Research Analyst or Economist (Ph.D required), then you need to use the links we just gave you to apply. Otherwise you can search for current openings at the Fed. These openings are categorized by pay scale. From what we can tell, Grade 22/23 jobs are definitely entry-level, and up to Grade 25 may be appropriate for a new grad. You'll have to do the searching yourselves, because we're on vacation.

Remember, we're on Spring Break this week, so the posts will be on the short side. Don't worry, we'll be back in full force next week.

Winter is a very special time of year in this part of the world – not only are our hills covered with carpets of colourful fynbos flowers, but our very beautiful Walker Bay becomes a vast playground for hundreds of Southern Right Whales (the above photo was captured by African Wings just recently). Every year, around June, these magnificent creatures start to arrive, one by one, and very soon newborn calves will be frolicking, and proud parent whales will be breaching. As we head into whale season things will start to get very busy around here, so plan your escape from the city now and spend a weekend with us enjoying all we have on offer.
Stoep Talk May

At Their Best: late summer to mid-autumn
Time to Complete: 2 hours
Materials Needed:
- raspberry canes
- well-composted organic matter
- shovel
- mulch
- stakes and thick wire
Select Site and Plant
Raspberries prefer a moist soil and grow in sun or partial shade. Dig in plenty of organic matter and plant canes in a row. Water well and apply mulch.
Support and Train
Cut the canes to the ground after planting. They can grow quite unwieldy in summer and it's important to provide a strong support. Hammer two sturdy wooden stakes into the ground and string thick wires between them at 24-inch intervals. Tie in the stems.
Routine Care
During the first year after planting, pinch off any fruits that form to allow the plant to concentrate its energies on root growth. Then, each year after fruiting, cut the fruited canes to the ground. Tie new canes to the support — these will produce fruit the following year.

A new PR (Page Rank) update has been felt by the internet community today.
Opposite to the statement of Matt Cutts in Twitter last October, Google finally publicized the ranking of budding and developing websites.
@NielsBoschh I would be surprised if that happened.
— Matt Cutts (@mattcutts) October 6, 2013
Luckily this SEO website also felt the huge jump in PR (from PR n/a to PR 2).
Don't be bothered if it would take a long time for the PR of your pages to update. Google seldom updates the PR of the indexed web pages across the internet every year. You can also freely use (but limited unless premium member) some tools to show the metrics of your site. For me, they are actually the very tools that I use for checking the data relevant to Google's PR:
Majestic SEO – Citation Flow and Trust Flow Feature
Ahrefs - URL Rank and Domain Rank Feature
Open Site Explorer – Domain Authority and Page Authority Feature
Ever had problems with page ranking of your site or inner pages? See the quick video of Matt Cutts below.

Originally written on Football Nation | Last updated 4/8/13
There is one thing you need to know when talking about the St. Louis Rams and head coach Jeff Fisher. He has never drafted an offensive player in the first round since he has been a head coach.Maybe that is why the Rams defense was one of the best in the NFL last season. His offense, however, was one of the worst. If the Rams are going to make a run toward a winning record and possibly challenge for a playoff berth. Remember, this is the same team that competes with Super Bowl runner-up San Francisco and surprise playoff team, Seattle twice a season. With the arm of Sam Bradford in Missouri and Fisher leading a defensive charge, why can't this team be the next breakout franchise in the NFL?Releasing running back Steven Jackson to sign with Atlanta and losing Jake Long in free agency may have a part in the way this team performs in 2013.This team needs offensive help. There is no doubt it could use help on the line and a speedy receiver. The defense, which is strong and young, can st...

Comments about 'My view: Should a candidate's faith be an issue?'

Why would someone like Mitt with such moral high-ground already be discussing another "pre-emptive war"? Christians in this country in NO way have a lock on morality. And the answer to the question "Should a candidate's faith be an issue?": Absolutely, positively, YES!

Van Til: "...[W]e live in what many now call a 'postmodern age,' which
results in many issues being a matter of personal taste or opinion. Everything
is judged relative to situations and circumstances. This contravenes a great
AMERICAN TRADITION of devotion to the Ten Commandments with their MORAL
ABSOLUTES. The point here is that voters should demand a return to the high
moral standards of the Ten Commandments..." [emphasis added]
Really? It seems to me the American tradition has been very selective and relativistic vis-a-vis the Decalogue. Certainly the first no other gods) is negated by the Constitutional prohibition of religious tests for office holders and the First Amendment; it's contrary to American pluralistic tradition. As to the prohibitions on killing, lying, and theft, they are basic ethics that every society has regardless of religion. The commandments aren't required for them. In a recent GOP debate, the audience cheered one candidate's record of killing residents of his state. I saw no American tears shed for the uncounted innocent pre-born Iraqi babies killed in "Shock and Awe." So much for respect for "thou shalt not kill." And who cares about graven images here besides the Amish?

All I know is that a good many posters to this space had no hesitation four years back making a prominent candidate's religion a matter of both scorn and fear. But Obama won anyway, and now those same folks are dead set AGAINST making personal faith an issue. I wonder what made them change their minds?

One's faith has absolutely NO business in politics. It really irritates me when a candidate's religious affiliation is listed along with profession, family, education, etc. when running for office. It's nobody's business what, if any, religion a candidate believes in.

We are told that when it comes to voting it is appropriate to vote according to
your religious beliefs - now we are told we should not worry about the faith of
a Presidential candidate.
Don't we have a right to know if a candidate will vote according to his religious beliefs instead of according to the Constitution?

As long as we think we can drag religion into the political arena, we're doomed to a divisive political climate of failure.

Our Favorite ZZ Top Covers: QOTSA, Van Halen, Iron Maiden, Dwight Yoakam, Willie Nelson, Tina Turner and... Rapeman?
[Note: Now with added Ministry.]
Counting down to Friday's ZZ Top/Aerosmith show in The Woodlands is starting to feel like the week Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers played there last year: a steady build of anticipation and antsiness, until Friday we're flat-out squirming to get out of the office. By the way, if all you think Rocks Off does is sit around listening to classic rock, we'll have you know that Monday we blasted brand-new albums by the Dead Weather - that's yet another Jack White project, featuring Allison Mosshart of the Kills - and former Band Drummer Levon Helm's Electric Dirt, and plan on doing so many, many more times. Jack's album, Horehound (out today, pictured) especially, because guess who it reminds Rocks Off of a little bit? But Horehound will keep until next Monday. This week, as far as we're concerned, is all about ZZ Top. Judging by the amount of YouTube results that were self-recorded footage of amateur guitarists teaching themselves "Tush" or "La Grange," Billy Gibbons is probably due another billion or so bucks in lesson fees. But plenty of performers and groups with actual recording contracts have also covered the Lil' Ol' Band from Texas. A few might surprise you, but if you're as big a fan of ZZ (and rock and roll) as Rocks Off, they probably won't. (Thanks to The Covers Project for helping us track a few of these down.) But click anyway.
(Note: Live at L.A.'s El Rey Theater, May 2001)
(Note: Recorded in Rio de Janeiro in 1983 on the Diver Down tour.)
(Note: Recorded at Memorial Hall in Kansas City, Kansas.)
(Note: A live version, with even worse sound quality, of Maiden and Blackfoot playing "Tush" at the UK's Reading Festival in 1982 is here.)
(Note: this is the ZZ Tops, "Europe's finest ZZ Top cover band," live at Earl's Court in London. The sound is iffy, but these guys know their shit.)
(Note: Shut up. Even Nickelback couldn't fuck up "Sharp Dressed Man.")

BMT Group Ltd (BMT), the international design, engineering and risk management consultancy, has announced another strong financial performance for the year to September 30, 2012. By focusing on markets where it can deliver high-value customer solutions, revenues from BMT's continuing businesses rose 22% to £156m and underlying operating profits increased to £13.7m, a proportion of which has been distributed to the staff through the company's profit share schemes.
David McSweeney, BMT's Finance Director explained, "Despite challenging trading conditions, underlying operating profit margin rose from 6-9%, bringing us closer to the industry norm for companies within the high-value engineering sector. Such improvement is vital so that we can continue to re-invest in our people – both attracting and retaining the best talent - as well as our extensive R&D capability to identify future technologies and solutions which will help to address our customers' challenges."
Comprising 23 operating companies involved in activity across five continents, the BMT group continues to concentrate on its core maritime-focused offering in the organization's three sectors of defense, energy and environment and transport. Highlights of the year include the acquisition of Oceanica Consulting Pty Ltd, a specialist coastal and marine environmental consulting company based in Australia; a successful contract win to provide specialist dredging consultancy services to Rio Tinto in Western Australia; the delivery of weather forecasting services in the Java Sea; and the UK Ministry of Defense's LETacCIS (Land Environment Tactical Communication and Information Systems) contract which saw BMT lead its partners in support of the early phases of this acquisition program.
BMT said it also continues to invigorate its pioneering maritime spirit and looks to create innovative solutions through its commitment to R&D and collaboration with industry and academic partners. Its recent collaborative R&D project with University College London (UCL) will research new ways to increase shipping efficiency and reduce emissions - something which remains uppermost in the minds of ship owners, operators and charterers around the world.
To help improve safety in mining, BMT is partnering with Skill Pro Services Pty Ltd in Australia to develop a new way of suppressing coal dust explosions. The company said the innovative Active Barrier technology has the potential to revolutionize safety in the mining industry and recently picked up an excellence award from ACARP (Australian Coal Association Research Program).
Peter French, BMT's Chief Executive, said, "This year we have been able to secure a number of major projects as we further demonstrate to our customers the breadth and depth of our knowledge and technical excellence in key markets. Our independence allows us to provide impartial advice and genuinely focus our attention on helping our customers succeed. More and more we are seeing our highly skilled experts from around the group becoming part of an integrated team that works in partnership with customers, providing an opportunity to share knowledge and best practice."
