In the eighth inning of tonight's game, I sat with long time blog reader Jordan (you know him as JGS), and his friend, and we discussed what we saw, which included the possibility that if Austin Kearns could draw a walk, we'd see Derek Jeter up with the bases loaded and two out, himself as the go ahead run.
We groaned.
Think about this for a moment. Derek Jeter, the Yankee Captain, the lead off hitter, a first ballot Hall of Famer…all of these things, and we are groaning, practically wishing that someone else, anyone else not named Ramiro Peña or Francisco Cervelli was on deck.
Something's not right with this picture.
So I go to Baseball Reference to try to find out what gives, and this is what I discover:
If Jeter was not Derek Jeter, if he was, say, Brett Gardner or even Nick Swisher with these numbers, he'd be hitting at the bottom of the line up, the type of weak hitter you can manage in a line up full of All Stars because his defense makes up for the lack of his bat.
In no instance would you think of batting this player lead off…and yet, that is exactly what Derek Jeter is doing.
"Well," you say, "if Jeter doesn't hit lead off, then who should?"
If the goal of the lead off hitter is to get on base, then one might suggest Brett Gardner–whose .395 on base percentage is one of the top in all of baseball, and don't tell me you saw that coming because you didn't–and Gardner has the almost requisite speed as well. You can argue that over exposure will hurt Gardner, but statistically speaking, what would happen if Jeter hit eighth or ninth and Gardner led off?
There would be a gigantic media malestorm and fan outrage and the headache might not be worth the results–especially to Joe Girardi, Gardner, Granderson or Jeter, those concerned–but, ultimately, statistically, what would it do? I leave the question open ended because I don't know. Maybe Gardner gets on base more often, Swisher keeps on forgetting that the Send Swish Campaign already won, Teixeira keeps up his hot second half and, whaddya know, the top of the Yankee line up goes from being the league leader in runs scored, to an utter monster that no one, not even Tampa Bay can contain.
Or maybe nothing happens, at all.
Jeter did have a decent game on Monday, going 2-5 and scoring two of the Yankees' five runs, and the Yankee offense, as a whole, still remains one of (if not the best, by various measures) offenses in the game. So it might seem extrodinarily petty to be talking about Derek Jeter as such, and maybe you (and many times myself) think that one should just shut up and enjoy what the Yankees have, but here's the rub: the Yankees are now tied for the best record in baseball, and the team they're tied with plays in the same division.
The division may very well be won or lost in one run late September games–just think about this weekend's past series–games where missed opportunity means everything, and for those of you who think that winning the division is insignificant (a feat of which I have recently been guilty myself), remember that the wild card team likely goes on to play Texas–and face Cliff Lee twice–in a short series.
The Yankees are good, great even, but it's going to take over 100 wins to take the AL East (and quite possibly the Wild Card), so it would behoove them to try to utilize every possible advantage. Even if it means Derek Jeter should not hit lead off.
Completely agree; it's become agonizing to watch Jeter lead games off, not work counts and pound every ball into the dirt as he grounds out to shortstop for the 3,000th time.
I wish there was a way to find out who holds the record for groundouts to short because Jeter is well on his way to obliterating it.
Great blog entry. Eye opening even.
I knew he was having a "off" season, but I didn't realize how bad until I read the numbers.
Great work Rebecca.
This is just plain stupid.

NNU granted associate membership by theological accrediting body
President David Alexander is pleased to announce that the University was admitted as an associate member of the Association of Theological Schools (ATS). ATS is a membership organization of 250 graduate schools in the United States and Canada that educate men and women for the practice of ministry and for teaching and research in the theological disciplines. Its Commission on Accrediting certifies institutions and approves the degree programs offered by member schools.
"For NNU's School of Theology and Christian Ministries to receive associate membership in The Association of Theological Schools is a validation of our offerings in graduate-level theology as well as the institution's move over a decade ago from college to university," said President Alexander.
Associate membership opens the door for the University to enter into broader conversations with peer graduate schools of theology and seminaries throughout North America. NNU was the first Nazarene institution of higher education to receive institutional accreditation, and now enjoys the first fully online program to be granted associate membership by ATS. The University currently enrolls 150 students in its seven online-degree tracks for Master of Divinity and Master of Arts degrees.
"This is an historic move," said Dr. Mark Maddix, dean of NNU's School of Theology & Christian Ministries. "Associate membership with ATS is an important step in the University's future and for the next generation of graduate theological education."

Sometimes you want to make things look all new and shiny; other times you might want a design that looks weathered and beaten up. So in this week's InDesign FX video, I show how to create the look of rusted metal in Adobe InDesign.
Let's get started.
The effect is built from two stacked copies of outlined text. In the top copy, a gray fill is first enhanced with some gritty brown texture courtesy of Inner Glow with Noise.
And then the Satin effect is used to apply the texture unevenly, creating a nice, organic feel.
A second copy of the outlined text contributes even more grit via Inner Glow with Noise.
And setting the top copy of outlines to the Overlay blend mode and giving it a thick brown stroke enhances the contrast and sense of depth to give us our finished effect.
I also have a member-exclusive movie in the lynda.com library this week called Creating Sparkle. It's what the rusty text might have looked like long ago, before it was left out in the rain too many times.
See you here again in two weeks with more InDesign FX!

Super Eagles
The Super Eagles got a dose of what to expect at the SA 2013 Nations Cup next month when they were held to a 1-1 draw by gritty Nigeria Premier League side, Nasarawa United on Thursday morning in Abuja.
The Nasarawa side managed by veteran coach Alphonsus Dike, played their hearts out in the encounter but it was the national team that showed more maturity and should have easily won the game but for the several begging chances that were wasted.
The Eagles featured Femi Thomas, Solomon Kwambe, Benjamin Francis, Godfrey Oboabona, Azubuike Egwueke, Gabriel Reuben, Sunday Mba, Fegor Ogude, Tony Okputu, Ejike Uzoenyi and Gambo Mohammed in the first half and changed all the players for a new set of 11 players in the second.
In the early part of the game, the Eagles dominated and should have been at least two goals up in the first 10 minutes but the chances that came their way were wasted by Mba, Reuben and Gambo. In the 18th minute, a defensive mix-up by the national team allowed Nasarawa's Ibrahim Ibrahim to steal in the opener of the game to the shock of the motley crowd that watched the game.
The goal was to change the tempo of the game as the Eagles upped their game in search of an equalizer. Their pressure paid off, when a Nasarawa defender held a goal bound shot and Referee Aniete Ukoh promptly pointed to the spot. Mba scored the equalizer in the 44th minute.
The new set of Eagles in the second half like Gomo Onduko, Ubale Mannir, Papa Idris, Henry Uche, Chibuzor Okonkwo, Zango Umar and goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi, seemed to have more fluidity in the second half but the Nasarawa side kept it tight at the back to run away with a 1-1, draw. After the game a not too happy Stephen Keshi sent the players back to the pitch for another 20 minutes of physical drilling.
Nasarawa handler, Dike, said he was impressed with the quality of players that have been picked for the national assignment but admonished the team handlers to work on the concentration level of the players.
"The players were quite good and among the best in the country but the need to improve in the area of concentration because that was what caused the goal my team scored against them".
Meanwhile, Keshi, has said he called up experienced right back, Chibuzor Okonkwo, because he believes that every person deserves to be given a second chance in life no matter what, but the player must now justify his call up.
It will be recalled that Okonkwo was among the first set of home-based professionals Keshi invited last December but after a few days in camp he bolted out of the country for a fruitless trial with English Premier League side, Aston Villa. This was after Keshi had decreed that home-based players must be ready to stay at least six months with the national team before attempting to travel abroad for greener pastures. Since then he has been overlooked.
But Keshi said he deserves a second chance because he's a versatile player and has the experience that can impact positively on the national team.
"But he has to prove that he's a better player in terms of discipline and action on the pitch," he said.
Okonkwo played the second half in the 1-1 draw against Nasarawa United on Thursday and showed flashes of his old self.
Meanwhile former Super Eagles striker, Benedict Akwuegbu, former Club Owners Scribe, Arthur Kwame and Ondo Football Agency Director, Mike Idoko, were part of the crowd that watched the national team played out a 1-1 draw against Nasarawa United and gave the team thumps up.
Kwame said he believes the team was on its way to the glory days, Idoko on his part said he was thrilled by the quality on display by players from the Nigeria Premier League, while Akwuegbu said he came to lend his support to the team ahead of the championship in South Africa.

WXYZ fights hunger with 'Together We Can' food drive
Joined by Art Van Furniture and Gleaners
(WXYZ) - Hunger knows no bounds. It affects people in rural, suburban and urban communities. That's why WXYZ-TV is taking action by teaming up with Art Van Furniture and Gleaners Community Food Bank for Together We Can.
From November 2nd through November 25th, donations of non-perishable food items can be dropped off at Art Van locations throughout Metro Detroit, including Ann Arbor, Port Huron and Howell. The donations will be turned over to Gleaners Community Food Bank, which has been feeding the hungry in Michigan for more than 30 years.
"Our goal is to stock the shelves of local pantries so that no one will have to go without a meal," said Ed Fernandez, Divisional GM, E.W. Scripps Company and Vice-President/General Manager at WXYZ. "With the help of the community, and our partners at Art Van Furniture and Gleaners, we can make a difference in the fight against hunger."
According to research, over one million people in Michigan use food banks each year. Last year, Gleaners distributed 40 million pounds of emergency food to more than 500 partner soup kitchens, shelters and pantries in Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, Livingston and Monroe Counties.

- How to Read a Study Record
The hypothesis is that richly coloured purple vegetables, rich in polyphenolic compounds including anthocyanins will have higher antioxidant and other biological activities, than more lightly coloured versions of these foods. Diets of human subjects will be modified to allow consumption of 200-300 g of raw carrots or cooked potatoes. Participants will be randomized to consume either orange or purple carrots, or white or purple potatoes. They will consume these diets for 12 weeks and bioavailability of polyphenolics will be examined as well as anthropometry and blood biochemistry for changes in risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease.

Presentation Title
Physical Ordering of Data: Is it ever Useful?
Certain operations, some small like lookup lists, and some large like batch jobs and reports, can perform better if the physical order of the data matches the predominant order of use. When is it worthwhile to attempt this ordering? How does ASSM affect the ability to physically order data? An expensive mission to periodically physically order all the data you have in the best possible order for the queries you expect to run on the data is silly. But if you verify that a one time complete or periodic partial physical ordering of some of your data will have a reasonable cost that is nearly certain to be exceeded many times over by the reduction in cost of future projected queries against a constrained resource, then it is not silly.

CLAYTON River Audio, a new downtown business specializing in wireless hi-fi home audio systems, is holding a grand opening Thursday.
The 521 Riverside Drive stores owner, Daniel A. Throop, is a self-proclaimed evangelist of the Sonos wireless audio system who was approached by the company to sell its products.
This is probably the first high-tech business to open up in Clayton in a very long time, Mr. Throop said.
And he said he believes Clayton soon will evolve into a year-round market large enough to sustain a specialty store such as River Audio.
With the new hotel, Clayton is going to grow into a year-round destination, he said. I believe theres enough of a market here that I can make a profit by this fall.
Mr. Throop said the total cost of a Sonos audio system varies greatly depending on what the customer is looking for.
Sonos offers three different types of speakers beginning at $299 for a single Play: 3 satellite speaker; $399 for the bigger Play: 5; and the three-channel Playbar priced at $699 and the companys subwoofer costs $699.
He said $2,000 would get you a 5.1-channel surround sound system with Sonos speakers, but people can purchase a Sonos Connect for $349 instead to stream audio from Internet music services or mobile devices to existing or third-party sound systems.
From 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday, pizza will be served for River Audios grand opening.
Store hours will be 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday through Sunday.

Honduras says US personnel needed to help stem violence

January 21, 2012
MEXICO CITY—Honduran President Porfirio Lobo says the United States is sending people to help Honduras battle the violent crime that led to the withdrawal of U.S. Peace Corps volunteers this week.
Lobo says the Americans will work on analyzing the problems.
Lobo told the HRN radio network Thursday that "soon there will be U.S. personnel here … and that will contribute to the tranquility of the Honduran people."
He did not say if the Americans would come from some government agency or a private company.
The United States confirmed Monday that all 158 Peace Corps volunteers had left Honduras.
Lobo says that Honduras is also receiving security help from Colombia, Chile, Spain and other countries.

Expert Tips: Organize Your Wardrobe for Fall & Winter
Cooler Weather Is on the Way!
The changing of seasons is a perfect time to get organized in your bedroom closet. Here are a few tips for a smooth seasonal transition from the expert design consultants at California Closets:
1. Determine what you are keeping and what must go. Let go of worn or permanently stained items, unfashionable clothing, and anything not worn in two years with these simple steps:
- Donate professional women's clothing at Dress for Success and men's suits at Men's Warehouse National Men's Suit Drive.
- Donate other wearable clothing, accessories, and textiles at your local Goodwill or Salvation Army, or post on Freecycle or Craigslist.
- Drop off worn, damaged or stained clothing and shoes at Goodwill – most locations will recycle the usable parts. There's no need to throw clothing or shoes in the landfill.
2. Tuck away seasonal clothes for winter storage. Store those linen trousers, sundresses, shorts, swimsuits and other summer-only items on higher shelves. Or, if your closet has high ceilings, consider pull-down wardrobe lifts to add an extra hanging section. No room left in your closet? Organize neatly in labeled bins and place under your bed, in your attic, your basement or garage.
3. Arrange items by type to maximize wardrobe flexibility. Keep shirts with shirts, pants with pants, sweaters with sweaters, and so on. This is the perfect strategy for cold weather accessories that are easy to lose such as gloves, scarves and hats – keep them together!
4. Install hooks and racks. You don't want your ties, belts or scarves all bunched up, so keep them neatly organized on hooks. For ties, you really want a tie rack with a designated hook or peg for each tie. Use racks for hats or purses - the idea is to keep everything visible and handy to make accessorizing easy.
Bonus tip: Hooks are also a unique way to store your costume jewelry - it's easy to see how your necklaces hang and to just grab them and go, rather than rifling through jewelry boxes.
5. Use shelves to keep sweaters and shirts in view. You don't wear what you don't see, so fold sweaters and shirts and store on shelves. Bonus: storing items this way also helps avoid stretching.
6. Use shoe racks or bins to keep cold-weather footwear neat and clean. Separate the muddy boots and galoshes from the dress shoes by using separate racks or bins. Consider organizing the most frequently used shoes or boots right by your front door – in a bin or under a bench for easy access.

Guest Column
Mary, Theotokos
by By Jim Stagg, Special to The Newnan Times-Herald
The mother of Jesus the Christ is the subject of many discussions, some scholarly.
It is not because she is unknown. Indeed, the King James edition of the Bible lists more than 40 references to her, including at least two in the Hebrew Testament.
She is venerated in the Gospel twice, once by the angel Gabriel, and once by her cousin Elizabeth, already pregnant with John the Baptizer.
Many of the traditional views of Mary can be summed up in a recent hymn by Reverend Justin Mulcahy, C.P, (née Paul Cross), published in 1949:
Mary the dawn, Christ the Perfect Day;
Mary the gate, Christ the Heavenly Way!
Mary the root, Christ the Mystic Vine;
Mary the grape, Christ the Sacred Wine!
Mary the wheat, Christ the Living Bread;
Mary the stem, Christ the Rose blood-red!
Mary the font, Christ the Cleansing Flood;
Mary the cup, Christ the Saving Blood!
Mary the temple, Christ the temple's Lord;
Mary the shrine, Christ the God adored!
Mary the beacon, Christ the Haven's Rest;
Mary the mirror, Christ the Vision Blest!
Mary the mother, Christ the mother's Son
By all things blest while endless ages run. Amen.
These verses proclaim a simple truth, that Mary provides a way to Jesus her Son by showing a gateway through which He may be viewed as the true and eternal Son of God.
In the tradition and teaching of the entire Christian Church, Mary is the mother of Jesus. In so being, she is also the mother of God, since Jesus is one Person with two natures, human and divine, which cannot be separated. So both the Eastern and Western Church honor her with the title Theotokos, "birth-giver of God" in Greek.
In many Christian Churches -- Catholic, Orthodox, Anglican and Lutheran throughout the world, Mary is honored by days of remembrance for specific occurrences which are supported by long-held tradition and, in the instances of the Annunciation, the Visitation and the Incarnation, which are spelled out in the Christian Testament of the Bible. One honor specifically given to Mary by the Catholic Church is the title Immaculate Conception, celebrated as a holy day on Dec.8 each year.
It is the simple truism that God, in His foreknowledge of Mary's acceptance of her role as the mother of Jesus, spared her from stain of Original Sin at her birth. While this has always been held as Tradition in the Eastern and Western Church, the formal announcement of this as Church doctrine was made in 1854 only in the Catholic (Western) Church.
A similar, more recent announcement of doctrine in the Catholic Church, Mary's Assumption into Heaven, was made in 1950. This is a dogmatic declaration of the tradition of the Eastern and Western Churches which asserts that, at the Dormition of the Virgin Mary, that is, the end of her earthly life, Mary was assumed, body and soul, into Heaven. Although not taught as dogma, this belief is held by many other Christian Churches which value tradition in addition to Biblical references.
There is no grave-site for Mary, instead, simply a monument. A Benedictine monastery, the Abbey of the Dormition, currently occupies the site outside the walls of the Old City of Jerusalem, where Mary is believed to have completed her life on earth.
The Catholic Church has defined four dogmas concerning Mary: that she was born without Original Sin, that she is Theotokos (Mother of God), that she is ever-virgin (Jesus was her only Child), and that she was assumed, body and soul, into Heaven.
As a result of her unique contribution to the world, many Christians pray the Hail Mary, a Bible-based prayer to the Mother of God:
Hail, Mary, full of Grace, the Lord is with you (Lk 1:28).
Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, (Lk 1:42)
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of our death.
Mary's veneration, from Gabriel and Elizabeth, continues to this day.

So I'm looking at my hubby's tungsten wedding ring that we paid way more for at a jewelry store…pretty sure it looks the same as these ones. Ladies, do yourselves a favor and buy them cheap instead of getting ripped off in store. Tungsten is very strong, plus men don't give a crap about price :)
Even easier, a mans ring size is typically their shoe size or one size below.
Oops, that was meant for Autumn below. Lol.
OMG, I have NEVER heard that. If I had known that one, my hubby's ring would fit!!! So freakin' genius!!!
I've found that this is pretty accurate for both men and women, unless of course one has extremely small/big feet :)
Whoa–guess my husband has skinny fingers then bc this is def not true at our house! :)
Funny you say that. Hahaha. My husband wears a 14 shoe and a 14 ring. But of course some people don't fit the profile but you're right it's usually pretty accurate.
My husband has a Tungsten ring from Marks and Morgan. Tungsten CAN break/shatter. They warned us of this when we purchased. He has a shard missing from his ring now so I just purchased him a Titanium ring through this deal! It looks almost identical to his Tungsten ring. Thanks!
Anybody now what the average men's ring size is? Or know how to measure? I would love to get my SO one, but don't what size he is :O
Here's a conversion chart. http://www.justmensrings.com/Mens-Ring-Sizing-Chart_c_135.html Easiest (assuming he doesn't already have a ring) is to just take a piece of string, wrap it around the base of his finger and then measure that to the overlap. My husband could sleep through armageddon so I could do it then without him having any idea haha
Thank you Karen!! And Nicole up above! Worked like a charm, even though it's not really a secret anymore :D
My fiancee and I are getting married and June and have considered buying his ring from here. My only worry about a wedding ring would be that if/when it gets scratched up, there is no sort of replacement/warranty plan.
Hey I think this is an awesome deal, have been waiting for it for like a year since my hubby lost his ring. I've checked in stores and you cannot get them this cheap, and yes they are the same one's you'd be paying at least $75 for at a jewelers. No scratch warranty isn't as big of a deal for a guy, esp. if you can get it for so cheap you could just replace it later if you really needed to. Just make sure you get the right size or go through pay pal for free returns. We are buying two of the ring he wants so we get the right size.
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! Marriage is wonderful!
My husband has a stainless steel ring and he is pretty rough with it. It doesn't have any scratches. He's had it almost 5 years. Hth. Tungsten is also very resilient and strong.
Stefanie, if you are worried about the ring getting beat up, just buy 2 for him and then use the newer one once the first one is all beat up. Worth it at this price.
We just ordered my fiances wedding ring from here. He works construction so we cant beat the tungsten rings for $10.99!
Damn!!!!! No string or ruler laying around to figure out his ring size. Of course, he has a ring on, but has absolutely no idea what size it is :(. Maybe worth taking a guess and if it's wrong, selling it on craigslist?
go online and print a ring size chart!!! worked for me.
Look up above at comment #2. Nicole and Karen explained how to measure it and check what size ring your husband is.
So glad I saw this post was going to head over to kmart and pay way more for tungsten! Which is the best!
My hubby and I both wear tungsten rings. He works as a stone mason and I work on a farm. They hold up great and we love them. I could never wrap my head around spending thousands on wedding rings! These are prefect for us. :)
anyone know of a free shipping code for purchasing other items from Tanga?
Wow what a deal….my husband recently misplaced his tungsten ring, luckily he found it…..at this price I should go ahead and order one just in case!
Thank you! I just got my husband a great ring for cheap! Thank you, Thank you!!!!
Bought one nice deal! My husband wants a new ring every two years, somehow he manages to scratch up tungsten…But at this price it certainly is affordable!
Awesome! Thanks so much! My husband has been wanting a new ring but it just isn't in our budget. This deals was perfect for us! :)
These rings are great! I just picked up another one for the hubby!
got one for my husband ! he always wanted Titanium wedding ring ! we have white gold and they are scratched really bad . we have had them for only 3 years !
Sweet!! just got a ring for my husband and it's AWESOME!!! thank you so much!!!!
I got my husband one of these recently because his original wedding ring got too loose. The ring looks great but he doesn't like it because it's heavy. It's probably just a personal preference thing and his original ring was very light but if your hubby is sensitive to things like that you may want to keep it in mind.
My husband started out with the "normal" band of gold when we got married. He works at Lowes, so anytime he was moving appliances, he would bend it and scratch it up. We finally got him a titanium ring, and it's wonderful! He's had it for 13 years already, and he still gets lots of compliments on it. :)
go through ebates for 3% cash back! I just ordered the "Lord of the Rings" ring. One for my husband and one for my 14 yo son. They are both very excited! Thanks for the offer.
My FI and I were just talking about what kind of wedding band he wanted before he fell asleep. What perfect timing! I had to sneak and measure his finger without waking him, which turned out to be harder than I thought, I sure hope I got the right size *crosses fingers* but I couldn't even be mad with this kind of price! I went through ebates.com too with 6% cash back (I guess it's higher because it's officially Cyber Monday on the East coast already) Thanks as always Colin!
STAINLESS STEEL WILL SCRATCH LIKE CRAZY. Did that for the first year and got hubby tungsten for first anniversary cuz the stainless steel was so horrible looking. Spend the extra few bucks for something way way way better!
What an awesome deal. I just bought one for $14.99 (the dragon design) for my husband for a surprise Christmas present. The ring he has now is plain gold because he did not want anything too 'blingy'. So this will give him a chance to be 'hip' if he wants to. Can't wait to see his reaction on Christmas morning. lol. OH! and the ear warmers were FREE (2 pack).
Keep in mind that a Titanium ring cannot be resized. I am not sure about Tungsten or stainless? I've been wanting to get my hubby a Titanium ring for the durability.
The ear warmers are free but with $4.99 shipping or $2.50 each as Colin has described – only the ring is offering free shipping or were you able to find a free shipping code?
ebates gives %6 too!
Order & Used Ebates with 6% Back!
Ordered both of our wedding rings for under $24. This is perfect for our low budget wedding. Thanks Collin! You rock!
So happy I found this! I had paid much more for a tungsten ring at KMart for my hubby's first ring, and he lost it when we moved a few months ago. We didn't really have the money to replace it until I found this deal! This made my day more than you can imagine!

Last night, @WondaMusic's Jerry Wonda hopped on Twitter to answer your music questions and to give some insight into the work of a multi-platinum producer! Questions ranged from technical to more abstract thoughts about how the producing game operates today. Let's revisit some of the highlights...
@EDAYEBK: @Princewonda are you rocking the Maschine next to your MPC3000?
@Princewonda: yes! i love it....i use it everyday at platinum sound BAABYYY! always got the best equipment
The Maschine is a Native Instruments product that combines the capabilities of a pattern-based sequencer, professional sampler, multi-effect unit and VST/AU plug-in host with tactile control. Overall, the tool is a strong way to integrate computer based production with the creativity of an MPC (MIDI/music production center).
The MPC3000 is a model of the original MPC electronic instrument by Akai. The MPC was created to serve the function of a drum machine, providing the user with the sequencing capabilities of MIDI and the ability to use one's own samples. The first such product from Akai was released in 1988, and the MPC3000 arrived in 1994 with expanded features. Some notable upgrades from the previous MPC60 were 16-bit 44.1 kHz stereo sampling, filters, effects, and increased memory.
@nadiyaT2 We all know @wondamusicis highly selective and mostly work with top notch clients, when do you make the exception?
@Princewonda: @nadiyaT2 raw talent baabyyy! when @wondamusic is blown away by genuine talent we cant say no!!
Jerry Wonda has worked with a virtual who's who of the Hip-Hop, R&B, and even Pop worlds, from Justin Bieber to Wyclef. Wonda's love of music of any genre comes through in his broad range of production styles.
Most recently Jerry has been working with up and coming rapper Yfame, a conscious hip-hop lyricist, producer, and artist. You can check out his latest single with Sean McGee below:
Don't forget to check out the weekly Q&A with Jerry Wonda next Thursday at 8pm on twitter @Princewonda! Until next time BAABYYY!

I had already decided a couple weeks ago that I really needed to go through my jewelery "box" (aka tupperware), so when my mum gifted me with a gorgeous jewelery case for Christmas, I knew it was time to get down to business…
There's even a small case inside to take out for travel:
Which will be very useful since one of my New Years resolutions is to road trip more (Big Sur anyone?).
Time to tackle the rest of the cluttered nooks I have strategically hidden around my apartment…

As part of an effort to improve public safety, commissioners have approved a contract to install security cameras in town.
The contract with PackeTalk LLC, which is based in Lyndhurst, to provide wireless security surveillance systems in West New York will not exceed $31,000, according to a resolution adopted last month.
The company also services Guttenberg and North Bergen, and its work is "head over heels above anyone else," Police Director Michael Indri said at the commissioner meeting.

Vol 7 No. 24 - March 7, 2007
Fishing with Captain Tom Van Horn
By Rusty Chinnis
sun staff writer
One of the pleasures of fishing, and in particular,
fly fishing, is the quality of the friends we meet. Fly
fishing seems to attract anglers who have interesting
lives, who are committed, and give back more than they
receive. Recently, I had the pleasure of reacquainting
with a friend I met through fishing and meeting a new
friend when I spent a day on the water at the Kennedy
Space Center with Captain Rodney Smith and Captain Ton
Van Horn.
I first met Captain Rodney Smith at a Florida Outdoor
Writers meeting, but we later solidified our friendship
at a Cotee Outdoor Writers Outing on Pigeon Key
near Marathon. Over the years weve stayed in touch,
fished on occasion and recently talked about fishing the
no-motor zone at the Kennedy Space Center. Smith and his
wife, Karen, are building something of a fishing dynasty
on the Indian River Lagoon near their home in Satellite
Beach. Besides raising four children, this dynamic duo
somehow found the time to run a successful guiding business,
publish a popular fishing magazine, Coastal Angler
Magazine; publish a book, Fishing Made Easy;
hold seminars; conduct kids fishing clinics; champion
conservation causes and much more. A few years back, the
Smiths decided to end Rodneys guiding business so
they could concentrate on their burgeoning publishing
business. Their grasp of the areas fishing opportunities
and their stewardship of the local resources attracted
the attention of Tom Van Horn.
Initially Van Horn approached Smith at a Shallow Water
Fishing Expo and announced that he was going to become
a guide. He wanted to learn the ropes and learning from
Smith was part of his business plan. The two fished together
and Smith was so impressed with his organized method that
he hired Van Horn to work for Coastal Angler Magazine.
Van Horn is also a fireman at the Kennedy Space Center,
a job that allows him direct access to the No-Motor Zone,
where he is only allowed to take friends and relatives.
On his charters, he still fishes this magical area but
is required to paddle in from the south like the other
guides and anglers who frequent the area.
We had talked about this trip for a couple of years and
the day we managed to make it happen, a front was looming
and the day dawned with leaden skies. We launched a canoe
and a kayak on a causeway near an old vehicle assembly
plant and paddled to the south along a shallow flat thick
with Turtle grass. The visibility was difficult in the
morning and never any got better as the day progressed.
Fortunately, the wind never blew more than 15 miles an
hour and after spending the first hours hunting for fish
our luck began to change. We had seen what appeared to
be a school of redfish earlier in the day, so we returned
to the area later in the morning and managed to catch
several redfish by tracking their wakes on the shallow
flat. In the afternoon after lunch we fished back to the
north and began to spook large fish that Van Horn thought
might be black drum. The area is famous for these large
cousins of redfish, so we slowed our progress and paid
special attention to the edge where the long grass flat
met deeper water. As I was scanning the horizon, Van Horn
tapped me on the shoulder and pointed out a school of
tailing black drum that were working their way towards
us. I raised my rod in anticipation of making a cast but
my guide wisely suggested that I wade to the fish. We
paddled the canoe 50 yards up the flat, staked out and
got into the water.
I had been coached by Smith and Van Horn on the special
technique needed to get black drum to take a fly. I stationed
myself in their path and when they were about 50 feet
away, I made a cast into their path, letting the fly sink
to the grass. I then waited until they were over the fly
and watched my fly line carefully. Suddenly, I noticed
an almost imperceptible movement of the line and made
a short strip strike. The line came tight and a 20-pound
drum actually surfed to the surface on its side before
bolting for deeper water. I fought the fish with just
enough pressure to tire it, making sure the small black
crab fly I was using didnt pull loose. In ten minutes
we had the drum at hand and I took several pictures of
Smith and Van Horn before we released it back to the lagoon.
We got a few more shots that afternoon, but decided to
head to the ocean to see if there were any opportunities
in the surf. The tide was low and although we didnt
spend much time actually fishing we enjoyed the expansive
Atlantic coast that was devoid of people. In the distance
we could see the launch pads of several new generation
rockets and Van Horn acted as a tour guide showing us
where some of Americas most ambitious space attempts
were launched.
Captain Tom Van Horn fishes the Space Coast 12 months
a year and has extensive knowledge of the varied fishing
opportunity it holds. For more information or to book
a trip, call Van Horn toll free at 866-790-8081. Check
out his web site at www.irl-fishing.com. Captain Rodney
Smiths web site has a wealth of information on the
Space Coast. Check it out at www.camirl.com
