Perhaps one day the Mariners, desperate for some big boppers, could have a dream outfield that possesses size, power, speed, athleticism and arm strength.
Precocious Carlos Peguero only took four at-bats to learn how to be a Mariner.
With three strikeouts and four runners stranded Wednesday afternoon, he played the role like an Academy Award winner.
Since he was invited to join a cast of hapless hitters, well, what did you expect? Peguero did what any other Mariner might do. It wasn't the debut of his dreams, but new Mariners manager Eric Wedge might say the same about his team's 6-13 record. This has been a year of hard knocks already. It figures Peguero's surprisingly early introduction to the big leagues would come with similar misfortune.
Peguero, an intriguing young talent who has been called up from the minor leagues temporarily because first baseman Justin Smoak is on bereavement leave, went 0 for 4. He hit a long fly ball in his first at-bat. Then, in each of his final three plate appearances, he struck out swinging. Of the four runners he left on base, three were in scoring position. But, hey, as a team, the Mariners were 1 for 9 with runners in scoring position in this game, dropping their average to .198 in those situations this season.

Most Read Stories
He could've been any veteran on the roster, really. But in a season that's mostly about the young 'uns, at least there's an upside to the experience Peguero received.
"I learned a lot," Peguero said. "I learned about my game, my approach. I learned a lot of things."
Though Peguero didn't come through with a big hit, his talent is evident. At 6 feet 5 and 245 pounds, he is among the growing list of big, athletic outfielders that the franchise is trying to develop. The most advanced players on that list also include Michael Saunders, who is getting his chance to play often right now; Greg Halman, who broke his wrist recently playing for the Class AAA Tacoma Rainiers; and Johermyn Chavez, an impressive 22-year-old talent playing for the Mariners' Class AA affiliate in Jackson, Tenn.
Perhaps one day the Mariners, who are desperate for some big boppers in their lineup, could have a dream outfield that possesses size, power, speed, athleticism and arm strength. Prepare to wait awhile, though. It's a process, as Peguero reminded everyone.
"Hey, you know what? Exciting stuff," Wedge offered when asked about Peguero's debut. "There's only one first game, and he has that under his belt now. And we'll work from there."
Peguero provided some mini — but fruitless — thrills. Call them prodigious whiffs. He never gets cheated on a swing. He's a 400-foot homer waiting to happen. But this is also why Peguero has averaged 175 strikeouts a season the past two years. He's still raw, very raw. He must make contact more consistently before you can envision him as a full-time major-leaguer.
But a player's first big-league start is special, no matter how many flaws are exposed. Wedge remembers his. It was Aug. 21, 1992, and the Boston Red Sox were playing the Mariners at Fenway Park. Wedge, a catcher, started at designated hitter. And Randy Johnson was on the mound.
Wedge recalls the experience pretty accurately. He struck out the first two times against Johnson. In his third at-bat, he hit a long fly ball that Ken Griffey Jr. caught.
By the time Wedge came to the plate in the bottom of the ninth inning, Johnson was gone, having pitched seven shutout innings, and Wedge celebrated with a two-run homer off Shawn Barton. The Mariners won the game 5-2.
Wedge simply wanted Peguero to enjoy his first start. He wanted to see him let loose and swing the bat, especially on that first pitch.
"I'm a big believer in it," Wedge said. "I think you should. You only get one first pitch. Short of it being out of the catcher's reach, what the hell, man? Go after it."
Peguero actually took the first pitch. On the second, the left-handed Peguero hit Detroit pitcher Rick Porcello's offering about a foot shy of the warning track in left field. That would be his best plate appearance of the day.
A 3-2 loss to Detroit ended with Peguero striking out and leaving Saunders on second base. The big outfielder took that slow, disappointing walk back to the dugout. Afterward, though, he spoke with a veteran's perspective.
"I was so excited," Peguero said before sighing and recalling his performance. "It's something that happens. It's part of the game. I'll keep my head up. We'll get 'em tomorrow."
They're the young and the zealous, these 2011 Mariners. In a season that feels especially long for late April, at least they have that going for them.

Apple and Google crack the whip on Flappy Bird clones
No more ripoffs allowed
SOFTWARE MERCHANDISERS Apple and Google are cracking down on Flappy Bird clones, following the popular game app's shockingly sudden demise last week.
That's according to The Verge, which has heard from a number of app developers that both Apple and Google are cracking down on apps blatantly cashing in on Flappy Bird. While clones such as Splashy Fish are still showing up at the top of the iTunes Store, developers have told the news website that no new Flappy Bird ripoffs are being allowed on either the iTunes App Store or Google Play store.
Ken Carpenter, developer of an app called Flappy Dragon, tweeted about his experience after Apple told him that it had not been approved.
This is just not my fucking week: Rejected. "We found your app name attempts to leverage a popular app." Which app? FB doesn't exist!?!?!
— Ken Carpenter (@MindJuiceMedia) February 15, 2014
That's not just because it's got the word "Flappy" in the title, as Apple explained that the app was rejected both because of its name and the fact that it attempted to cash-in on Flappy Bird's demise.
Apple said, "We found that your app, and/or its metadata, contains content that could be misleading to users, which is not in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines. We found your app name attempts to leverage a popular app."
Carpenter has managed to get his app accepted on the Google Play store by changing its name to Derpy Dragon after it was at first rejected by the firm.
Speaking of his experience trying to get the app on Android, he said, "The first time I assumed it was because I included a phrase about Flappy Dragon being the best flapping game to play now that 'Flappy Bird' is dead. My app was originally published with no issue and was online and searchable for a few hours."
Google has yet to comment on the matter.
Apparently it hasn't been just Flappy Dragon that has fell victim to Apple's and Google's new guidelines. Flappy Bee's developer likely got slapped on the wrists, with the app now showing up as Jumpy Bee, while Flappy Machines is nowhere to be seen. µ

Are database views only a means to simplify the access of data or does it provide performance benefits when accessing the views as opposed to just running the query which the view is based on? I suspect views are functionally equivalent to just the adding the stored view query to each query on the view data, is this correct or are there other details and/or optimizations happening?
Although a certain query running inside a view and the same query running outside of the view should perform equivalently, things get much more complicated quickly when you need to join two views together. You can easily end up bringing tables that you don't need into the query, or bringing tables in redundantly. The database's optimizer may have more trouble creating a good query execution plan. So while views can be very good in terms of allowing more fine grained security and the like, they are not necessarily good for modularity.
It depends on the RDBMS, but usually there isn't optimization going on, and it's just a convenient way to simplify queries. Some database systems use "materialized views" however, which do use a caching mechanism.
I have always considered Views to be like a read-only Stored Procedures. You give the database as much information as you can in advance so it can pre-compile as best it can.
You can index views as well allowing you access to an optimised view of the data you are after for the type of query you are running.
Usually a view is just a way to create a common shorthand for defining result sets that you need frequently.
However, there is a downside. The temptation is to add in every column you think you might need somewhere sometime when you might like to use the view. So YAGNI is violated. Not only columns, but sometimes additional outer joins get tacked on "just in case". So covering indexes might not cover any more, and the query plan may increase in complexity (and drop in efficiency).
YAGNI is a critical concept in SQL design.
Generally speaking, views should perform equivalently to a query written directly on the underlying tables.
But: there may be edge cases, and it would behoove you to test your code. All modern RDBMS systems have tools that will let you see the queryplans, and monitor execution. Don't take my (or anybody else's) word for it, when you can have the definitive data at your fingertips.
I know this is an old thread. Discussion is good, but I do want to throw in one more thought. Performance also depends on what you are using to pull data with. For example, if you are front-ending with something like Microsoft Access you can definately gain performance for some complex queries by using a view. This is because Access does not always pull from the SQL server as we would like -- in some cases it would pull entire tables across then try to process locally from there! Not so if you use a view.
Yes, in all modern RDBMS's (MSSQL after 2005? etc) view's query plans are cached removing the overhead of planning the query and speeding up performance over the same SQL performed in-line. Previously to this (and it applies to parameterized SQL/Prepared Statements as well) people correctly thought stored procedures performed better.
Many still hang onto this today making it a modern DB myth. Ever since Views/PS's got the cached query planning of SPs they've been pretty much even.

My 950 is now four years old and has done 16k without missing a beat. I know others who have enjoyed 25k of trouble free miles over the same period. It still makes me smile and every trip is an occasion.
I could never part with this bike, its now engrained in my soul. Ive tried plenty of others including the SMT and Multistrada and although they may have more power, without carbs they can't deliver it the same sublime way.
The 950SM is the original and best and will always have a place in my garage.

Primary National Curriculum
The new Primary National Curriculum has been launched - and there is a clear emphasis throughout on the importance of memory.
In every area, at every age, children now need a range of memory skills to reach their full potential and make the most of all the learning opportunities on offer.
In literacy lessons there are poems to perform from memory; lists of prescribed spellings to memorize; technical terms for increasingly complex features of language to remember and use well.
In maths, children must now master specific written calculation strategies as well as developing quick and flexible mental methods.
Children need to be able to recall key geographical and historical facts.
Older children are required to learn a foreign language.
And mastering the technical demands of computer coding is just one of the many ways in which children's memory skills are being challenged like never before.
The Junior Memory Championship trains primary-school children to be confident in a range of conscious, practical, exciting and effective memory skills. It introduces them to ways of remembering that have been around for centuries: powerful strategies that can be applied to every area of the new curriculum. Combining logical and creative thinking skills, these techniques help children to engage with learning in new ways, connecting different areas of knowledge and understanding and demonstrating their abilities with confidence and flair.
The new Primary National Curriculum challenges children to know more, understand more, compare, connect, invent, apply, perfect, evaluate… In every area, expectations have been raised.
So do your children have the learning skills - in particular, the memory skills - to meet them?
The Junior Memory Championship
The Junior Memory Championship is a pioneering educational project from The Learning Skills Foundation®.
Now going into its eighth year, the competition promotes memory techniques in schools, working with teachers to introduce pupils to the benefits of powerful learning strategies.
When you register, your children will be eligible to compete in the online stages of the Championship in March 2016.
When you take part in the JMC you receive:
The short in-school training sessions help children to develop powerful memory strategies that will help them in every area of their education. Then, in March 2016, your Year 6 children take a series of online memory challenges, testing their learning skills against competitors from around the country. The children with the best scores are invited to the Final in London in June 2016 at which the new Junior Memory Champion will be crowned.

"Mashahd" Mashhad by omidamini
Mashhad Travel Guide: 87 reviews and 177 photos
Mashhad (Persian: مشهد, literally the place of martyrdom) is the second largest city in Iran and one of the holiest cities in the Shia world. It is located 850 kilometers (500 miles) east of Tehran, at the center of the Razavi Khorasan Province close to the borders of Afghanistan and Turkmenistan. Its population was 2,427,316 at the 2006 population census.[1]
Now Mashhad is notably known as the resting place of the Imam Reza (Ali ibn Musa al-Rida). A shrine was later built there to commemorate the Imam, which in turn gave rise to increasing demographic development.
Mashad is also known as the city of Ferdowsi the great Persian poet of Shahnameh which is considered to be the Persian national epic.
The city is located at 36.20º latitude and 59.35º east longitude, in the valley of the Kashaf River near Turkmenistan, between the two mountain ranges of Binalood and Hezar-masjed. The city benefits from the proximity of the mountains, having very cold winters, pleasant springs, mild summers, and beautiful autumns. It is only about 250 km (156 miles) from Ashgabat, Turkmenistan.
The city is the administrative centre of Mashhad County (or the shahrestan of Mashhad) as well as the somewhat smaller district (bakhsh) of Mashhad. The city itself, excluding parts of the surrounding bakhsh and shahrestan, is divided into 13 smaller administrative units, with a total population of almost 2,5 million.
Mashhad consists mainly of people of Iranian descent. There are also over 20 million pilgrims who visit the city every year.
At the beginning of the 9th century (3th century AH) Mashhad was a small village called Sanabad situated 24km away from Tus. There was a summer palace of "Hamid ibn Qahtabi", the governor of Khorasan. In 808 when Harun al-Rashid, Abbasid caliph, was passing through there to settle down the insurrection of "Rafi ibn Leith" in Transoxania, he became ill and died. He was buried under the palace of Hamid ibn Qahtabi. Several years later in 818 Imam Reza was martyred by Al-Ma'mun and was buried beside the grave of Harun. [3]
After this event this place was called as Mashhad al-Rida (the place of martyrdom of Ali al-Rida). Shias started visiting there for pilgrimage of his grave. By the end of the 9th century a dome was built on the grave and many buildings and Bazaars sprang up around it. During more than a millennium it has been devastated and reconstructed several times. [4]
It was not considered a great city until Mongol raids in 1220 which caused the destruction of many large cities in the Greater Khorasan territories, leaving Mashhad relatively intact. Thus the survivors of the massacres migrated to Mashhad.[5] When the famous world traveller Ibn Battuta visited the town in 1333, he reported that it was a large town with abundant fruit trees, streams and mills. A great dome of elegant construction surmounts the noble mausoleum, the walls being decorated with colored tiles.[2]
Later on, during the Shahrokh era, it became one of the main cities of the Timurid dynasty. In 1418 his wife Goharshad funded the construction of an outstanding mosque beside the shrine, which is known as Goharshad Mosque.[5] The mosque remains relatively intact to this date, its great size an indicator to the status the city held in the 15th century.
Shah Ismail I, founder of the Safavid dynasty, conquered Mashhad after the death of Husayn Bayqarah and the decline of the Timurid dynasty. Mashhad was later captured by the Uzbeks during the reign of Shah Abbas I, only to be retaken by the Shah Abbas in the year of 1597 after a long and severe struggle, defeating the Uzbeks in a great battle near Herat as well as managing to drive them beyond the Oxus River.
Shah Abbas I wanted to encourage Iranians to go to Mashhad for pilgrimage. he himself is known to have walked from Isfahan to Mashhad. During the Safavid era Mashhad gained even more religious recognition, becoming the most important city of the Greater Khorasan as several Madrasah and other structures were built beside the shrine of the Imam Reza.
Besides its religious significance, Mashhad has played an important political role as well. It saw its greatest glory under Nadir Shah, ruler of Iran from 1736 to 1747 and also a great benefactor of the shrine of the Imam Reza, making the city his capital. It remained the capital of the Afsharid dynasty until Agha Mohammad Khan Qajar conquered the then larger region of Khorasan in 1796.
In 1912, the sanctuary of the Imam Reza was bombed by the Russian forces, causing widespread and persisting resentment in the Shiite Muslim world.
Long a center of secular as well as of religious learning, Mashhad has been a center for the arts and for the sciences. The large Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, named after the great Iranian poet, is located here. The Madrassa of Ayatollah Al-Khoei, originally built in the seventeenth century and recently replaced with modern facilities, is the city's foremost traditional centre for religious learning. The Razavi University of Islamic Sciences, founded in 1984, stands at the centre of town, within the shrine complex. The prestige of traditional religious education at Mashhad attracts students, known as talaban, internationally.
Mashhad is also home to one of the oldest libraries of the Middle-East called the Central Library of Astan-e Quds Razavi with a history of over six centuries. The Astan-e Quds Razavi Museum, which is part of the Astan-e Quds Razavi Complex, is home to over 70,000 rare manuscripts from various historical eras. There are some six million historical documents in the foundation's central library.
In 1569 (977 H), 'Imad al-Din Mas'ud Shirazi, a physician at the Mashhad hospital, wrote the earliest Islamic treatise on syphilis, one influenced by European medical thought. Kashmar rug is a type of Persian rug indigenous to this region.

I arrived at the New Caftle Common at Nine o'Clock in the morning. The coffin was undamaged in tranfit, and the hot roaft Turkey with Stuffing bafted in Lard had sufficed for the entirety of the Night. I secured the horses to a handfome Hitching Poft erected for that Purpose, and proceeded to the offices of Dr Mortimer, with the intention of securing a Cemetery Plot for my wife, the late belov-ed Elifabeth Waldemar Cheefeworm Van Tweenhuysen before Nightfall.
Dr Mortimer's Home and Offices were infused with a queer smell, perhaps one part Ether, one part Formaldehyde, and two parts Lard Rashers of Bacon and Coffee. I declined his offer of Break-fast, having confumed much hot Oven-baked Lard bafted Turkey en Route.We proceeded to the Graveyard in order to select a suitable burying place for my late, beloved E l i f a b e t h.
We were greeted by a swarm of Batf upon entering the church yard. I was struck by the persistence of the Lard, Ether and Formaldehyde Odour, which Dr Mortimer apparently emanates in great Wafts, due to his Business in performing Autopfies, Veterinary Surgery, and Internal Medicine.

Mulunga is 55 years old, married, and the father of seven children aged 9 to 31. All of them attend school. Mulunga operates a general store to the southeast of the city of Lubumbashi, in the southeast province in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. He became a microentrepreneur in 2004. Mulunga has already received five loans from the microfinance institution HOPE DRC and has fully repaid them. He intends to use this loan to expand his inventory. He will buy cans, sacks of rice and sugar, and milk and resell them at profit. Currently he earns a profit of $120 per week. His ambition is to open another store in a different area.
Additional Information
About HOPE DRCHOPE International has been providing small business loans and savings services to thousands of entrepreneurs in DRC since 2004. HOPE DRC targets small business owners who can use loans to increase their inventories or invest in assets that have the potential to increase their incomes. Funds from Kiva lenders play a major role in expanding access to affordable, flexible capital for micro-entrepreneurs, 80% of whom are women.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

I had a Cutting and Styling and have awarded it 5 stars.
I usually find having my haircut a bit of a chore and especially so with the unknown of trying a new salon. I need not have had any concerns though, as the team at Privato were lovely. Not only were they very laid back, but I felt that they took their time to make the whole experience good… even down to the little things like offering me a selection of fruit teas.
Oliver did a fantastic job on my hair and it's the first time in a long time that I've left a hairdressers feeling as though my style request had been listened to and feeling that my hair looked good.
I would highly recommend Privato.

STOCKHOLM (AP) -Magnus Carlsson of Sweden shot a 7-under 65 on Wednesday to open up a two-stroke lead after the opening round of the Nordea Masters.
Carlsson's round was soured by making a bogey on the last at Bro Hof.
Countryman Peter Hanson and clubhouse leader Richard Bland of England are next along with two others.
The 661st-ranked Bland says "I had a bit of an up and down start but I kicked it into gear around the turn."
Third-ranked Lee Westwood is in a group of eight at 4 under. Playing partner and defending champion Alex Noren shot a 74.
The Nordea Masters started Wednesday to give some players more time to prepare for the U.S. Open next week in San Francisco.

Congress, White House pressuring colleges for more action, information
In the next year, San Diego State University plans to survey students about the prevalence of sexual assaults on campus and gauge students' attitudes and awareness about the issue.
It is hoped that data gathered from the query — a step recommended for all colleges and universities by a White House task force in April — will give university leaders a better idea of what occurs on and around campus and could lead to improvements in sexual-assault prevention and response.
And soon, all universities and colleges may be doing the same thing under recently introduced bipartisan federal legislation that seeks to address the problem of sexual assaults on campuses.
One of the provisions of the Campus Accountability and Safety Act is to require universities to conduct annual surveys of students' experiences and publish the findings online. The bill, introduced by eight senators last week, also would require more resources for victims, better training for employees who handle complaints and stiff fines for institutions that don't comply with federal requirements.
The measure is one of a flurry of federal and state proposals offered amid heightened concern over sexual assaults on college campuses nationwide. An often-cited figure cited by the White House and others in the debate is that one in five women have been the victim of attempted or actual sexual assaults while in college. That figure, which comes from a 2007 study, has fueled some of the interest in requiring campus surveys to provide better data.
But perhaps an even greater concern is what victims and their advocates have said is the poor response some universities have had to sexual misconduct, with some failing to investigate allegations or punish those involved in wrongdoing and providing little or no support to the victims involved.
California lawmakers are discussing the topic as well, with proposals calling on colleges to adopt policies requiring "affirmative consent" between students who engage in sexual activity and mandating schools post their policies on their websites.
The legislative push comes after a White House task force led by Vice President Joe Biden released a list of recommendations for how colleges could better prevent and respond to assaults. The U.S. Department of Education has said its investigating more than 70 institutions for their handling of sexual misconduct complaints.
"I think the campus climate surveys are a great idea and my ideal would be to have as many people participate as possible because the data is only as good as the folks reporting it," said Jessica Rentto, SDSU's associate vice president of administration and Title IX coordinator, who said the university was following the White House directive.
A California state audit released in June found SDSU and three other public universities had failed to adequately train faculty and staff to respond to reports of sexual violence and sexual harassment. Rentto said SDSU has revamped its new student orientation program and is beginning an annual training program with fraternities, sororities and student athletes. It also is working to make sure students, staff and faculty know what to do if someone reports sexual violence cases to them, she said.
"We are committed to making a safe campus for our students and student welfare is our top priority," Rentto said. "When a student comes forward with a complaint, we handle it the fairest manner we can" and treat those who lodge complaints with "dignity and respect."
The University of California conducted a wide-ranging campus climate survey in 2012-13 and released the results in March. The system revised its sexual harassment and sexual violence policies and has convened a task force to determine if other changes are needed.

Schmidt: WBC was great, but what about its future?
Well, it's over. The World Baseball Classic champion again did not come from the United States. I guess Japan and South Korea have a right to say they are better, since Team USA watched the final between them. We'll not get into who would win if Japan played the Phillies in a seven-game series. Take it from me, a Phillies lover, it would go at least six.
The three weeks on the road with Team USA offered an added dimension to my resume. If I may brag a little, I could coach third base for any big league team. I really enjoyed that experience, but couldn't afford the job.
At 60 years of age, being able to be on the field again, to feel like a small part of the formidable offensive attack, was invigorating.
Going into the WBC, I was worried about screwing up, being self-conscious, losing concentration and, worst-case scenario, running Derek Jeter into a collision at home and costing the USA a championship. Not! I had all the moves.
Sunflower seeds, bubble gum and some dugout spitting was a carry-over from 30 years ago.
I had the stances going, hands in back pockets, hands tucked in pants when cold, hands on knees, legs spread, it looks like you're into it and it's easier to avoid a line drive coming at you. I had the signs down, actually gave a couple real ones.
In general, I think I did a pretty good job. By the way, Team USA's coaching staff – Barry Larkin, Bill Ripken, Reggie Smith, Marcel Lachemann, Mel Stottlemyre, myself and manager Davey Johnson – could staff any major league team right now without losing a beat. I thought I knew the equivalent of an encyclopedia of baseball until I met these guys.
For me, this journey had a downside. I set a record for sleeping, sudoku puzzles left undone and room service. You see, I'm used to going to bed at 10, getting up at 6, working out, eating Special K, e-mails, calls and calendar, Starbucks, saying hello to my boat, lunch, teeing off at 12:30, two Coronas at 5, "Seinfeld" and dinner at 6, doing dishes, a Netflix with my wife, Donna, at 7 (or "24" on Monday night) and lights out. Next day, the same. Give me an alternate routine and I freak. That's not to say that for a "real" job I couldn't make changes, but this was a challenge.
Baseball men love to be at the "yard," so we went there every day at least six hours before game time. I'd take a book, puzzles, iPod, video camera, anything to pass the time. I went to every pitcher's meeting, trainer's meeting, staff meeting and wanted even more meetings, as I waited for the team to arrive.
There's something about sitting around in your underwear with plasma TVs everywhere you look, access to a 7-Eleven in the next room, workout facilities better than LA Fitness, spitting in a cup, and telling baseball stories, that could bring big money at any charity auction.
OK, Boston fans, what do I hear for four hours in baseball underwear in Team USA's clubhouse with a locker between Derek Jeter and Kevin Youkilis? Or Philly fans, how about the same, a locker between Jimmy Rollins and David Wright? I had it for three weeks – priceless – even worth breaking my daily routine.
Would I do it again? That's a good question.
First, these young men were a pleasure to be with, respectful, dedicated and passionate about the game, and trust me, they left it all on the field. They were there because they considered it an honor. There was no money, tedious travel and too many days off, but they didn't care. I think they will go to their respective camps and say it was a great experience, and hope to be asked back to the next WBC.

Concord, N.H. - A blizzard heading to New England could make travel nearly impossible and dump up to 2 feet of snow on a region that has seen mostly bare ground this winter.
The snow will start Friday morning, with the heaviest amounts dumped on the region that night and into Saturday as the storm moves through New England and upstate New York, the National Weather Service said.
A blizzard watch for parts of Massachusetts and Rhode Island said travel may become nearly impossible because of high winds and blowing snow.
"This has the potential for being a dangerous storm, especially for Massachusetts into northeast Connecticut and up into Maine," said Louis Uccellini, director of the weather agency's National Centers for Environmental Prediction.
Uccellini, who has written two textbooks on northeastern snowstorms, said Wednesday it was too early to tell if the storm would be one for the record books. But he said it will be a rare and major storm, the type that means "you can't let your guard down."
The storm would hit just after the 35th anniversary of the historic blizzard of 1978, which paralyzed the region with more than 2 feet of snow and hurricane force winds from Feb. 5-7.
No one is wishing for a repeat, but skiers, snowmobilers and other outdoor enthusiasts were hoping for just enough snow to turn around a disappointing season.
The snowmobile season in northern New England started off strong, but after rain and warm temperatures last month, many trails in Maine turned essentially to thick sheets of ice, said Maine Snowmobile Association Executive Director Bob Meyers.
"People got a taste of it, and there's no question they want some more," he said.
Nearly all of Vermont's snowmobile trails opened after Christmas but riding lately has been limited to hard-to-reach mountain areas. Riders hope this week's storm will bring enough snow to cover bare and icy patches.
"I'd say maybe 75 percent of the trail system may be back up and running if we got a good 8-inch storm," said Matt Tetreault, trails administrator for the Vermont Association of Snow Travelers.
Thanks to the ability to make their own snow, the region's larger ski resorts aren't as dependent on natural snowfall, though every bit helps. At Mount Snow in Vermont, spokesman Dave Meeker said the true value of Friday's storm will be driving traffic from southern New England northward.
"It's great when we get snow, but it's a tremendous help when down-country gets snow," he said. "When they have snow in their backyards, they're inspired."
Assuming the snow clears out by the weekend with no major problems, ski areas in Massachusetts also were excited by the prospect of the first major snowstorm they've seen since October 2011.
"We'll be here with bells on," said Christopher Kitchin, inside operations manager at Nashoba Valley Ski Area in Westford, Mass. "People are getting excited. They want to get out in the snow and go snow-tubing, skiing and snowboarding."
Tom Meyers, marketing director for Wachusett Mountain Ski Area in Princeton, Mass., said that at an annual conference of the National Ski Areas Association in Vermont this week, many participants were "buzzing" about the storm. He said the snow will arrive at an especially opportune time - a week before many schools in Massachusetts have February vacation.
"It is perfect timing because it will just remind everybody that it is winter, it's real, and get out and enjoy it," Meyers said.
Still that may be too late for Michael Amarello, director of the Horse Hill 7K snowshoe race, which is scheduled for Saturday in Merrimack, N.H. He said Wednesday that he hadn't yet decided whether to postpone the race, but was leaning in that direction. Race organizers wouldn't have time to mark the course if it's snowing hard Friday afternoon, he said.
"We want snow, but we don't want snow Friday night - we want snow today or tomorrow!" he said.

Darnell Dockett can expect to hear from the NFL offices this week.
The Arizona defensive lineman, a heck of a player who is also well known for his stream-of-consciousness thoughts on Twitter, won't get away with purposely stepping on the hand of a Rams offensive lineman during Sunday's game.
At the end of a run by Rams back Zac Stacy in the third quarter of Sunday's game, Dockett came in a bit late, then Rams offensive lineman Chris Williams knocked Dockett off of Stacy. No big deal if it ends there. But Dockett got up and as Williams was on the ground, Dockett went out of his way to lunge forward and stomp on Williams' hand. Dockett's teammates immediately led him away from Williams.
When Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh stomped on Packers offensive lineman Evan Dietrich-Smith's arm in 2011, he was suspended two games. Dockett doesn't have the history with the NFL that Suh does, but the league isn't going to let this go without at least a hefty fine.

others trails of faith and optimism.
Some leave trails of criticism and resignation;
others trails of gratitude and hope.
