I started a Gunzerker the other day, just to see if my pre-conceived thoughts held any weight. I didn't disappoint myself, because he's horrible. Sure, there might be more to enjoy when I get him past Level 7, but surely they could have formulated a more imaginative skill than dual-wielding guns? Boring. I'll delete it later; waste of my time.
I've advanced a bit further into the storyline with my TVHM Siren; I've killed Bloodwing, fought my way through the Slab camp, and I'm about to start the Opportunity arc. I've also respecced her! No longer am I under the illusion that healing is better than elemental obliteration; I've been able to cruise through most of the story since investing in Cataclysm. Much easier. To boost my survivability, I'm reinvesting into Harmony. By Level 56, I should have access to Scorn once again.
I've found next to nothing. The most recent Purple I picked up was a Storming Trance, which was a huge help through the Highlands... but not so much in Wildlife Preservation (fortunately, I found one of those Maliwan-barrel Tediore Incendiary SMGs that helped me clear it pretty quickly). I've got a blue Skatergun (which was quickly superceded by a Double Loving Pounder I picked up 10 minutes later) and a few blue Dahl sniper rifles (which just suck). Most of my other stuff is green, but they do their jobs pretty well and I've managed to get by.

With a little help from our friends we cut the video below of Rick Leventhal's report broadcast on FOX News earlier this week.

Netanyahu: Look back in anger
Prime Minister Netanyahu held a press conference in Jerusalem this evening. The Times of Israel's Raphael Ahren reports on Netanyahu's presentation here. Netanyahu spoke in English for a portion of the press conference (video below). He obviously wanted to get a message out to the widest possible audience. At about 12:30 he takes a question from a journalist with a British accent and the predictable slant. As always, it is »
NDTV reports: Watch Hamas in action
The journalists covering the war on Israel from Gaza haven't captured much of Hamas's activities and Palestinians of all stripes have promoted the theme of Israeli perfidy promoted by Hamas. The theme has even become the native tongue of the Obama administration. This morning, in any event, the Foreign Minister of the Palestinian Authority filed formal charges in Geneva accusing Israel of war crimes for targeting civilian areas in Gaza. »
The friends of Osama Hamdan
Hamas spokesman Osama Hamdan appeared on CNN's Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer yesterday. Blitzer grilled Hamdan about his recent recycling of the Christian blood libel against the Jews (video below). Hamdan filibusters, Obama style. Hey, he was just repeating what he's heard. Some of his best friends. Benjamin Netanyahu. Concentration camps for Palestinans. Etc., etc., etc. While Blitzer has been congratulated for challenging Hamdan, I wonder. Hamas and its friends »
Tweeting Rick Leventhal [updated with video]
The ceasefire between Hamas and Israel is in its early hours, but I'm still firing my critique of media coverage of the war. Yesterday FOX News broadcast a report by Rick Leventhal from Gaza City regarding an IDF missile strike on a building/residence. I'm inserting the video below. Please check it out. In his report Leventhal interviewed the aggrieved occupant of the late building/residence. He had received a call on »
My Interview With the Israeli Ambassador
Last week, guest hosting the Laura Ingraham radio show, I had the privilege of interviewing Ron Dermer, Israel's Ambassador to the U.S. The interview begins at around the 12-minute point in the clip below, which covers the whole third hour on July 30 with no commercials. But the discussion before that point is on the subject of the Gaza conflict, so I would encourage you to listen to the whole »
From the Hamas combat manual
The IDF has obtained and posted an illuminating Hamas combat manual that it summarizes in relevant part as follows: IDF forces in the Gaza Strip found a Hamas manual on "Urban Warfare," which belonged to the Shuja'iya Brigade of Hamas' military wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades. The manual explains how the civilian population can be used against IDF forces and reveals that Hamas knows the IDF is committed to minimizing harm »
At the Rafah UNRWA school
Carl in Jerusalem writes this morning to draw attention to his Israel Matzav post on the possible return of Pallywood yesterday at the UNRWA Rafah school. Elder of Ziyon also took at look at the scene, linking to Thomas Wictor. Israel's (alleged) attack on the UNRWA school in Rafah scored the condemnation of Valerie Jarrett, Samantha Power and the Obama administration yesterday. I don't know what happened at the school; »
One question for Chuck Lane
Washington Post opinion writer Chuck Lane apparently concurs with David Bernstein's 40 questions for the international media in Gaza, posted on the Volokh Conspiracy site hosted by the Post itself. The Post seems to concur that these are important questions, but advises us not to expect any answers. One question for Chuck Lane: Why? This —-> Forty questions for the international media in Gaza http://t.co/IhofcQf1lE via @washingtonpost — Charles Lane »
Why Don't More Democrats Support Israel?
The American public has consistently supported Israel in its many battles with Islamic enemies over the years. While the numbers bounce around as poll numbers always do, I don't think there has been much change in this basic fact. Thus, the current NBC/Wall Street Journal survey finds that as to "the current conflict in the Middle East," 46% of registered voters say their sympathies are with the Israelis, and only »
Eyeless in Gaza: 40 questions for the media
Professor David Bernstein posts the "40 questions for the international media in Gaza" posed by Saul O. at Harry's Place.

The questions posted by Bernstein are properly addressed to the Washington Post itself, as well as to the Wall Street Journal, FOX News and CNN and the rest of the American media. In the case of the »
Obama's reckoning
In the current Hamas hostilities against Israel, we have seen Barack Obama and John Kerry join in the war on the Jewish people. Not surprising, perhaps, but sobering. Obama and Kerry are working with Israel's enemies in Qatar and Turkey to help Hamas emerge from the conflict with its key goals fulfilled. I take its key goals to include terminating Israel's blockade (blockade of war matériel, that is) and facilitating »
Hadar Goldin's abduction: The Hamas timeline
The staff at PJ Media's The Grid has documented the evolution, shall we say, of Hamas's statements regarding the abduction of IDF officer Hadar Goldin as the supposed ceasefire was to have gone into effect yesterday morning. The headline captures the story: "Hamas boasts about its capture of IDF soldier…then backtracks four times." Stage 1: Not only did we do it, but what's the big deal since it was before »
Annals of the ceasefire
The supposed 72-hour ceasefire agreed to by Hamas has been breached in a major way by Hamas. As I pick up the news on Twitter, Hamas continues to fire its rockets. A Hamas suicide bomber emerged from a Rafah tunnel and blew himself up on IDF soldiers. Two IDF soldiers were killed in the attack. And IDF officer Hadar Goldin of the Givati Brigade was kidnapped this morning. His fellow »
Tweeting Conor Powell
Hamas carefully manages civilian casualty statistics in Gaza as a tool of war. It embeds its men and materiel among civilian facilities such as hospitals, mosques and UN schools. When Israel targets weapons depots and sources of fire, these facilities may be targeted with resulting casualties. Yet Hamas itself frequently turns out to be the direct cause of the civilian casualties, as in the case of Jihad Masharawi in 2012 »
Tweeting Jake Tapper
We think more highly of Jake Tapper than we do of the standard cable talking head, and I follow him on Twitter, but his take on the current Hamas-Israel conflict demonstrates his limitations in a big way. Yesterday he tweeted out a sympathetic Hamas propaganda point: "More Palestinian children killed in last 3 wks than Israeli troops killed in military ops since 2006." Maybe, but it's a point that reflects »
Ms. Hillary's pinpoint strikes
In an interview with Jorge Ramos Fusion TV, Ms. Hillary was asked about civilian deaths in Gaza. Hamas treats civilian death statistics as propaganda and carefully nurtures them. They are treated as gospel and routinely recited by the media without reservation. Bret Stephens took up the issue in an important Wall Street Journal column yesterday, addressing the officials and policymakers who use the statistics to criticize Israel or promote a »

Dash Top 10 – #8: Peter's 14-game hitting streaks
The Winston-Salem Dash's 2015 season is in the books, and Dash fans enjoyed many incredible moments. We whittled them down to this year's Dash Top 10, which we will unveil over the next two weeks.
Previous moments:
#10 – Four-homer outburst sinks Salem
#9 – Fulmer debuts with Winston-Salem
Moment #8 – June 5-July 5
Peter records a pair of 14-game hit streaks
This is not exactly a moment, but Jake Peter accomplished something special during the middle of the season. For a month, Peter was "Mr. Automatic" offensively.
During this 29-game stretch, Peter hit .351 with 16 RBIs and 19 runs scored in 29 games. He hit safely in the first 14 games. Following a single-game hitless drought, the former Creighton star rattled off 14 more games with at least one knock.
If anything, the one "moment" from this run came during the hitless game. On June 18 against Salem, Peter went 0-for-3 in five at bats, though he drove in both of the Dash's runs that evening! Even when he did not muster a hit, the infielder was a valuable member of the lineup.
Sure enough, Peter said this after the game: "I would have liked to get a few more games, but the bright side of it is I can start a new streak tomorrow." He did just that.
Sometimes, one cannot truly appreciate a streak until some context is added. Sure, a 14-game hit streak is not the longest you will ever see. It was, however, the best a Dash hitter had recorded since Marcus Semien, now in the Majors with Oakland, strung together an 18-game run in May of 2012.
Consider, too, that Winston-Salem had not yet turned into the powerhouse that it would become as the second half progressed. During these 29 games, the Dash amassed only 105 runs, or 3.6 per game. Peter was responsible for about a third of them.
By the end of the season, Peter was near the top of many offensive categories within the Carolina League, and he was named a Year-End All-Star. His remarkable month-long surge was a big reason why.
Speaking of awards, be sure to stay tuned for our seventh-best memory of 2015.

Game #64 Preview – Dash vs. Myrtle Beach
Game #64 – Home Game #29
Winston-Salem Dash (27-35) vs. Myrtle Beach Pelicans (36-26)
Monday, June 15 – 7 p.m.
BB&T Ballpark (Winston-Salem, N.C.)
Jake Peter's go-ahead double in the ninth Sunday extended his hitting streak to 17 games and propelled the Dash to a 5-2 series-clinching victory over the Carolina Mudcats. Winston-Salem begins a week-long homestand Monday with the start of a three-game series with the Myrtle Beach Pelicans.

Jake Peter – 2B
Chris Jacobs – 1B
Omar Narvaez – C
Nolan Earley – RF
Toby Thomas – 3B
Cleuluis Rondon – SS
T.J. Williams – DH
Michael Suiter – LF
Brandon Brennan – RHP
- Peter's 17-game hit streak is the longest by a Carolina Leaguer in 2015 by four games. Since May 27, the pride of Mason City, Iowa, is 22-for-64 (.344) with 11 RBIs and 15 runs scored. Among active streaks in Minor League Baseball, Peter's 17-game run is tied for the third-longest. A pair of Eastern League hitters (Altoona's Willy Garcia and New Hampshire's Dalton Pompey) are riding 19-game streaks into Monday's action. Peter had posted a hit in the first in three straight games before Sunday's ninth-frame save.
- Peter's 17-game hit streak is the longest by a Winston hitter since current Oakland infielder Marcus Semien recorded an 18-game run in 2012. In the Dash era (2009-present), Peter's current surge is tied for the fifth-best hit streak.
- For the fourth time this season, Winston-Salem claimed a victory in its last at-bat on Sunday. The Dash's first three came against Salem. The Dash have suffered seven last at-bat defeats. Still, the club has not earned a walk-off victory.
- After missing the first 63 games of the Dash's season due to injury, right-hander Brandon Brennan will make his 2015 debut on Monday night. Brennan takes the place of Jake Cose in the rotation. Cose will now pitch out of the Dash's bullpen. A year ago, Brennan made 14 appearances over three levels (Great Falls, Kannapolis and Winston-Salem) as he worked back from Tommy John surgery. In his six starts with the Dash to complete the season, Brennan went 2-0 with a 2.93 ERA (22 K in 30.2 IP).
- The Dash's bullpen was outstanding in the club's two victories in Zebulon this weekend. After Jordan Guerrero's ejection on Saturday, three relievers (Euclides Leyer, Brad Goldberg and Peter Tago) combined to give up just one run on five hits over six innings. Brian Clark and Michael Ynoa one-upped this trio in the rubber tilt, combining to keep Carolina hitless in four frames.
- Trey Michalczewski is day-to-day with an unspecified injury. Before sitting out the final two games of the series in Carolina, Michalczewski had started every game of the season for the Dash.
- To make room for Brennan on the roster, the White Sox announced Monday that right-hander Jose Brito has been assigned to Low-A Kannapolis. In his 16 efforts with the Dash, Brito charted a 2-3 record and a 4.66 earned run average.
Monday's game will be available on wsdash.com/broadcast, along with the TuneIn Radio app. The Pregame Dash will begin at 6:45 p.m., with the first pitch at 7 p.m.

Game #63 Preview – Dash at Carolina
Game #63 – Road Game #35
Winston-Salem Dash (26-35) at Carolina Mudcats (30-31)
Sunday, June 14 – 6 p.m.
Five County Stadium (Zebulon, N.C.)
The Dash snapped an eight-game road losing streak Saturday by upending the Mudcats 6-2. Sunday's rubber match is the final road game of the first half for Winston-Salem.

Jake Peter – 2B

- The Dash's gritty win overshadowed infielder Jake Peter, who pushed his hitting streak to 16 games with a first-inning single. This hit streak represents the longest by a Carolina Leaguer in 2015. Since May 27, the former seventh-round pick is 21-for-59 (.356) with 10 RBIs and 14 runs. Among active streaks in Minor League Baseball, Peter's 16-game run is the fourth-longest. There has been little drama for Peter, who has come up with a hit in the first inning in three consecutive games.
- Peter's 16-game hit streak is the longest by a Winston hitter since current Oakland infielder Marcus Semien recorded an 18-game run from April 23 to May 12 of 2012. In the Dash era (2009-present), Peter's current 16-game surge is the sixth-longest hit streak. Brandon Short boasts the longest run by a Dash hitter, a 26-gamer from April 11 to May 8 of 2010.
- After going 1-for-30 with men in scoring position in their previous four games, the Dash were 4-for-11 on Saturday night. Adam Engel, who is now tied for second in the CL in stolen bases at 25, ripped off a pair of swipes after just three in his previous 24 games. Cleuluis Rondon posted his first multi-hit game since May 7.
- Before Saturday's victory, the Dash had dropped eight consecutive road games dating back to May 23. This is tied for the worst road losing streak of the Dash era (2009-present). Winston-Salem also dropped eight in a row away from the Triad in August of 2014. The franchise has not endured a longer road skid since August 10-22, 2006, when the Warthogs dropped nine straight road games. During this losing streak, the Dash were outscored 47-23, and they failed to surpass three runs in all but two games.
- Winston-Salem infielder Trey Michalczewski enjoyed his first off day of 2015 on Saturday. Michalczewski had started in all of the Dash's first 60 games. He is second in the Carolina League with 39 RBIs, trailing only Lynchburg slugger Nellie Rodriguez (50). Now, the only Dash player to play in every game this season is outfielder Adam Engel, who is the only player on the circuit to play in every inning for his team.
- Following Sunday's rubber match, the Dash will return to the Triad for a week-long homestand, which includes the conclusion of the suspended game on June 2 against Salem.
- In his last start Tuesday against Wilmington, Robinson Leyer posted his second career professional complete game (7IP, 3R, 6H).
- Before Saturday, a member of the Dash had only been ejected four times.
Sunday's game will be available on wsdash.com/broadcast, along with the TuneIn Radio app. The Pregame Dash will begin at 5:45 p.m., with the first pitch at 6 p.m.

Game #62 Preview – Dash at Carolina
Game #62 – Road Game #34
Winston-Salem Dash (25-35) at Carolina Mudcats (30-30)
Saturday, June 13 – 6 p.m.
Five County Stadium (Zebulon, N.C.)
Winston-Salem took an early 2-0 lead, but the Mudcats scored eight unanswered runs Friday to take the series opener 8-2. The Dash will try to snap an eight-game road losing skid Saturday.
Adam Engel – CF
Jake Peter – 2B
Chris Jacobs – 1B
Jeremy Dowdy – C
Nolan Earley – RF
Toby Thomas – 3B
Cleuluis Rondon – SS
Michael Suiter – LF
Ethan Wilson – DH
Jordan Guerrero – LHP
- In the losing effort, Winston-Salem infielder Jake Peter pushed his hitting streak to 15 games with a first-inning double. This hit streak represents the longest by a Carolina Leaguer in 2015. Since May 27, the former seventh-round pick is 20-for-55 (.364) with 10 RBIs and 13 runs. Among active streaks in the Minor Leagues, Peter's 15-game run is the fourth-longest. Three men, including former big league outfielder and Tacoma Rainier Franklin Gutierrez, have hit safely in 17 consecutive games.
- Peter's 15-game hit streak is the longest by a Winston hitter since current Oakland infielder Marcus Semien recorded an 18-game run from April 23 to May 12 of 2012. In the Dash era (2009-present), Peter's current 14-game surge is tied for the sixth-longest hit streak. Brandon Short boasts the longest run by a Dash hitter, a 26-gamer from April 11 to May 8 of 2010.
- While Peter has been outstanding, the team as a whole has labored in run-scoring chances. The Dash went hitless in nine at-bats with men in scoring position in Friday's loss. In their last four games, Winston-Salem is 1-for-30 with runners in scoring position. As a club, the Dash hit .244 in such situations. Winston-Salem is behind every Carolina League outfit in this category save fellow last-place Potomac (.237).
- The Dash have dropped eight consecutive road games dating back to May 23. This is tied for the worst road losing streak of the Dash era (2009-present). Winston-Salem also dropped eight in a row away from the Triad in August of 2014. The franchise has not endured a longer road skid since August 10-22, 2006, when the Warthogs dropped nine straight road games. During this losing streak, the Dash have been outscored 47-23, and they have failed to surpass three runs in all but two of their games.
- Dash third baseman Trey Michalczewski drove home his 39th RBI in Friday's first inning. He is second in the CL in RBIs, trailing only Lynchburg slugger Nellie Rodriguez (48). Since May 5, Michalczewski has amassed 31 RBIs, which are good for a share of 10th in all of Minor League Baseball during this span. Only Rodriguez (32) has more among Carolina Leaguers.
- The Dash's last four victories have come by exactly one run, while three of their last six losses have been decided by five or more runs.
- Left-hander Jordan Guerrero will make his second High-A start on Saturday. He whiffed the first five he faced in his Dash debut on Sunday, though he did give up four runs in five-plus innings.
- With Friday's loss, the Dash have been eliminated from first-half postseason contention.
Saturday's game will be available on wsdash.com/broadcast, along with the TuneIn Radio app. The Pregame Dash will begin at 5:45 p.m., with the first pitch at 6 p.m.

Opening Day roster breakdown
The Dash just released their 2015 Opening Day roster, so let's delve a little deeper into some of the names to know for the upcoming season:
Winston-Salem Natives:
OF C.J. Beatty & INF Chris Jacobs
Last season, Beatty became the first Winston-Salem native to suit up for the club in the Dash era. The outgoing Beatty is back for more at BB&T Ballpark this summer, and he will be joined by Jacobs, another Winston-Salem native.
Both players have taken a winding road to get to this point. Beatty was originally drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals back in 2009 before being released by the organization following the 2010 season. The North Carolina A&T product spent four seasons in various independent leagues before hooking on with the Chicago White Sox in 2014. Meanwhile, Jacobs was a 2007 selection of the Los Angeles Dodgers and played seven seasons in their system before getting released this winter and signing with the White Sox.
The Corner Mashers:
INF Keon Barnum & INF Trey Michalczewski
Two of the Dash's main power sources in 2015 figure to come from the corners of their infield. Both Barnum (supplemental first round, 2012) and Michalczewski (7th, 2013) were highly drafted by the White Sox coming out of high school. The Dash are hoping each player can build off their 2014 campaign, when the pair combined to drive in 135 runs. The switch-hitting Michalczewski was ranked by MLB.com as the eighth-best prospect in the White Sox organization, while the lefty-swinging Barnum is 29th.
Returning Relievers:
RHP Brad Goldberg, LHP Sean Hagan, RHP Zach Isler, LHP Jefferson Olacio
Dash pitchers fanned the most opposing batters (1,087) in the Carolina League last season, and at least four of them will be back with the club in a bullpen role in 2015. Pitching coach J.R. Perdew also returns for a fourth consecutive season. Since Perdew rejoined Winston-Salem for his third tenure with the franchise in 2012, the club possesses a team earned run average of 3.85, which is third-best in the Carolina League during that span.
Why Walk?
RHP Tony Bucciferro & RHP James Dykstra
Speaking of returning pitchers, both Bucciferro and Dykstra come back to the Dash in 2015. If either right-hander is on the mound, expect opponents to try to swing away; the duo combined for 140 strikeouts against just 22 walks last year with Winston-Salem. The ability of each to pound the strike zone and pitch efficiently should help rest the bullpen and keep arms fresh throughout the year.
A 2012 Bounce-back?
LHP Matt Heidenreich & OF Keenyn Walker
Both Heidenreich and Walker turned in promising seasons for the Dash back in 2012. The pair are hoping that starting the 2015 campaign in Winston-Salem can help both them and the club rekindle the magic of 2012, when the Dash went 87-51 and finished 13.5 games better than any other team in the Carolina League. Heidenreich, a 2009 fourth-round pick, and Walker, a 2011 supplemental first rounder, both have the talent to make it happen.
The 2014 Draft Class:
LHP Brian Clark, LHP Jace Fry & INF Jake Peter
Three members of the White Sox 2014 draft class will open the season with a full-season club for the first time. Clark and Fry figure to be critical on the pitching side, while Peter should open the year as the Dash's starting second baseman. How the trio adjusts to the rigors of a 140-game schedule will be key to how much success Winston-Salem enjoys in 2015.
The Brother:
RHP Robinson Leyer
Euclides Leyer pitched in 34 games for the Dash a year ago, but in 2015, it's up to his brother Robinson to carry on the family name in a Winston-Salem uniform. When you might see the name "Leyer" on the back of the Dash uniforms, however, may be slightly different this season. Euclides worked only as a reliever with the Dash, while Robinson has been a starter throughout his professional career, something that will continue with the Dash in 2015.
The New Guy:
RHP Michael Ynoa
One of the newest members in the entire White Sox organization is Ynoa, who was packaged along with big league RHP Jeff Samardzija in the December trade that sent Dash alums INF Marcus Semien, RHP Chris Bassitt, C Josh Phegley and INF Rangel Ravelo from Chicago to Oakland. Ynoa received the largest contract the A's had ever given out ($4.25 million) in 2008 and was ranked a top 100 prospect twice before injuries derailed his career. Maybe a fresh start in a new organization is what it takes to get the talented right-hander back on track.
Familiar Fielding Faces:
OF Nick Basto, OF Adam Engel, INF Justin Jirschele & INF Cleuluis Rondon
This group helps makes up nine of the 10 infielders and outfielders on the Dash's Opening Day roster who played for the club last season. How they are able to use their past experience in the Carolina League will be crucial to determining if the Dash can return to the postseason.
The Catching Duo:
C Omar Narvaez & C Jeremy Dowdy
The 2014 Dash Opening Day roster featured three backstops, so playing time for both Narvaez and Dowdy should be easier to find than the 2014 trio had last year. It will be interesting to see how much manager Tim Esmay platoons the pair if they are both able to get ample rest, as Narvaez bats from the left side while Dowdy is a right-handed hitter.
The Intriguing Southpaw:
LHP Andre Wheeler
Wheeler didn't pitch full-time until his final year at Texas Tech in 2013 but has steadily put up impressive numbers in his first two professional seasons. Originally drafted as an outfielder by the Dodgers out of high school, Wheeler can be a crucial part of the 2015 Dash if he continues to build on his success pounding the strike zone with his high-voltage stuff.
The Tall Guys:
RHP Jose Brito & LHP Jefferson Olacio
At six-foot-seven, both Brito and Olacio share the distinction of being the tallest players on the Opening Day roster. The height of both hurlers may be the same, but how they pitch is completely different. The 210-pound Brito is a finesse pitcher, hoping to lure opponents into chopping the ball into the ground, while the 295-pound Olacio tries to overpower opposing batters.
Stay tuned for a preview of the season opener in Frederick on Thursday!

The other side of the Samardzija trade
Most White Sox fans are thrilled about the proceedings at the Winter Meetings. The Sox have been the "it" team of the week thus far by signing Yankees closer David Robertson and trading for Oakland righty Jeff Samardzija.
Within the latter of those two transactions, the White Sox had to surrender some significant talent. On behalf of the entire Dash organization, I would like to wish good luck to the four players included in the blockbuster deal: right-handed pitcher Chris Bassitt, catcher Josh Phegley and infielders Rangel Ravelo and Marcus Semien.
All four of these players spent a significant amount of time in Winston-Salem and were tremendous both on and off the field. Even though they are no longer members of the White Sox system, I hope Dash and Sox fans continue to root for them in Oakland.
Here are some thoughts from Twitter as this deal came to be:
Scout tells me about Rangel Ravelo- underrated but extremely productive, untapped power potential Similar MiLB career arc to Allen Craig.
— Susan Slusser (@susanslusser) December 9, 2014
Like Rangel Ravelo. Can put the ball to all fields and has some nice raw pop.
— Chris Kusiolek (@Oak_AllDay) December 9, 2014
Scout said nice things about Rangel Ravelo last season. Big ? with him is power. Between Ravelo and Matt Olson, Oakland deep in minor lg 1B.
— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) December 9, 2014
6 years ago, #Athletics traded for little-known catcher Josh Donaldson. Now get little known catcher Josh Phegley. Reported big mullet, too.
— Carl Steward (@stewardsfolly) December 9, 2014
Josh Phegley on trade to A's"Surprised, but think I have legitimate shot to play in big's for Oakland".
— Rick Semmler (@Rick_Sports10) December 9, 2014
No surprise that Josh Phegley has been moved. #WhiteSox had five catchers on the 40-man as of yesterday. Someone was going to go.
— Dan Hayes (@CSNHayes) December 9, 2014
Some players in the White Sox system weighed in as well:
We lost some good dudes today..best of luck to you boys on your new journey!
— Justin Jirschele (@Jirsh_11) December 9, 2014
Man, 4 great teammates just traded to the @Athletics . Good luck to both of my boys @C_Bass419 and @JoshPhegley , you'll both be missed!
— Josh Richmond (@Richie_Rich02) December 9, 2014
@C_Bass419 Going To Miss My King James lover. Good Luck on The New Chapter..#DoWork
— Tim Anderson (@TimAnderson7) December 9, 2014
Good luck to one of my very good friends @C_Bass419 in his new journey with the Oakland A's. No matter the jersey, always a #CMB
— Chris Beck (@WatchUrBeck) December 9, 2014
Indeed, good luck to those who are now Athletics. Winston-Salem fans will be tracking your careers.

A look around the White Sox system
Each team in the system is at least 10 games into the season, so let's spin around the organization and see how each team is doing thus far this season.
MLB: Chicago White Sox (7-6)
Chris Sale improved to 3-0 this season after Friday's outing against the Indians, but the White Sox bats played a big role in the outcome. Sale grinded through five innings, allowing three runs and six hits while striking out five. The ace spoke with the Chicago Sun-Times following his start.
Infielder Marcus Semien has played well of late, recording hits in nine of his last ten games. Among those was this solo homer on Sunday against Cleveland:
In this whitesox.com article, learn more about Erik Johnson's standing in the Chicago pitching rotation. Plus, Semien takes part in Jackie Robinson Day festivities on Tuesday and who Sale credits for the development of his changeup:
Thanks to the season-ending shoulder injury to Avisail Garcia, outfielder Jordan Danks was called up from Triple-A Charlotte to help fill the void. The Dash alumnus spoke with CSN Chicago about the opportunity:
Triple-A: Charlotte Knights (6-6)
Catcher Josh Phegley is off to a solid start in 2014. His .286 batting average currently ranks second on the team among qualifying players, and he has scored four runs in eight games.
The Knights opened their sparkling new Uptown Charlotte facility, the second BB&T Ballpark, on Friday night against the Norfolk Tides. For a recap of their historic evening, click here.
Double-A: Birmingham Barons (5-5)
The defending Southern League champions won three of five games against the Jacksonville Suns to reach the .500 mark. The Barons were washed out at Mobile on Monday night, so a doubleheader is on tap this evening.
Former Dash outfielder Trayce Thompson was recently profiled on MiLB.com talking about some of the valuable lessons he learned during Spring Training with the White Sox.
Low-A: Kannapolis Intimidators (4-7)
The Intimidators were swept in a four-game series at Greenville this weekend, the last contest a heartbreaking 5-4 setback to the Drive in 14 innings. Kannapolis looks to regain its footing this week in Hickory. That series opener was also postponed, so the Intimidators and Crawdads will play two this evening.
Infielder Cleuluis Rondon continues his development at the Low-A level. The Venezuelan native, who celebrated his 20th birthday on Sunday, is batting .298 with six RBIs, three runs scored and three stolen bases in 11 games.
Stay tuned for a preview of tonight's homestand opener against Frederick.

Recapping the weekend around the system
The rainy off-day for the Dash means that it's a perfect time to scroll through the White Sox system to see how the teams and some former Dash players are doing.
Chicago White Sox (3-3):
Chris Sale dazzled in his start against the Royals on Sunday, tossing eight scoreless innings while striking out six. Following his outing, Sale told whitesox.com, "You know what you're getting when you face a team like this and a starter like James (Shields). You've just got to bear down and give it everything you've got." Sale is now 2-0 on the season with a 1.76 ERA on the young season.
Infielder Marcus Semien has started all six games, playing at second base and third base. With Gordon Beckham recovering from an oblique injury, the Chicago Sun-Times discussed Semien's attempt to convince White Sox management to keep him in the lineup.
Erik Johnson struggled in his first start with the South Siders this year, allowing seven runs against the Royals on Friday. Fellow Dash alum Jake Petricka also pitched in that contest. Johnson spoke with the Chicago Tribune following his start, and you can read about that here.
Nate Jones, who pitched with Winston-Salem from 2008-10, allowed four runs in two outings and failed to retire a single batter. He was sent to the disabled list on Friday with a strained hip muscle, and could miss more than two weeks. Before he was placed on the DL, Jones told CSN Chicago's Dan Hayes about his discomfort.
Charlotte Knights (3-1):
Dylan Axelrod, who pitched for the Dash in 2009 and 2010, had a solid outing against Norfolk on Sunday, allowing just one run in five innings while striking out seven batters. The Knights won that game, 2-1.
Former White Sox slugger Jim Thome will be tossing the ceremonial first pitch at Charlotte's home opener in their new ballpark on Friday, April 11 against Norfolk. Thome, who played with the Knights in 1993, spoke with charlotteknights.com about his time there.
Birmingham Barons (1-2):
The defending Southern League champions won their opener against Montgomery before losing two straight games. Following a rainout on Sunday, the Barons are playing a doubleheader against the Biscuits today to conclude their five-game opening series.
Former Dash infielder Micah Johnson is off to a hot start in Birmingham, hitting .462 with a home run, two RBIs and four runs scored in three games. Johnson was recently featured on al.com prior to Opening Day.
Kannapolis Intimidators (2-2):
The Intimidators split their opening weekend series with Greenville and return to Kannapolis for their scheduled home opener against Hickory tonight.
Tyler Danish, a second-round draft pick of the White Sox last year, shined for Kannapolis in their Friday night victory over Greenville. The 19-year-old pitcher struck out six over five innings while allowing no earned runs.
That's your look around the White Sox system. The Dash will take the field again Tuesday night at Salem, trying to cool off a Red Sox team that started 2014 with a weekend sweep of Myrtle Beach. All three games of that series are scheduled to begin at 7:05 p.m. Join Brian Boesch for the Pregame Dash at 6:50!

Johnson's catch, Sale's start and much more
The White Sox are already two weeks into their exhibition slate in Arizona, and some former Dash players are doing their best to impress the big club.
Infielder Micah Johnson is not only batting .455 and leading the team in runs scored this spring, but the 2013 Dash alum is also turning some heads with his defense. Johnson made this spectacular diving catch against the Brewers on Monday:
That catch made SportsCenter's Top 10 Plays at #4. Pretty impressive stuff.
A few former Winston-Salem hurlers are throwing well in Glendale. Southpaw Charlie Leesman has posted a 1.69 ERA in 4 Cactus League appearances, tossing 5.1 innings while striking out 5 batters. Despite those numbers, the 2010 Dash alum was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday, possibly because he has minor league options remaining on his contract. However, the strong spring showing should keep Leesman on the White Sox radar for the future.
Righty Erik Johnson has thrived in two starts this spring, garnering a 2.57 ERA while striking out 7 batters in 7.0 innings. The 2012 Dash standout is making a bid to join the White Sox rotation in 2014, and manager Robin Ventura has taken notice. "With what he did last year and so far what you see, you like what you see," Ventura recently told CSN Chicago.
Johnson is also getting some attention for his demeanor off the mound. Check out this recent Chicago Sun-Times article for more on that, which includes comments from fellow White Sox prospect and former Dash teammate Marcus Semien.
Finally, here are a few roster notes. First, the Sox have tabbed Chris Sale as their Opening Day starter for a second straight year. The 25-year-old, who made his professional debut with the Dash in 2010, says he appreciates the opportunity, per this whitesox.com article: "As much as you sit here and say 'Treat it like another start,' it's the first one of the year and you are obviously going to be amped up for it and excited for it."
The White Sox also made several roster moves on Wednesday involving Dash alumni. Outfielders Jared Mitchell and Trayce Thompson were optioned to Double-A Birmingham, while catcher Miguel Gonzalez, pitcher Scott Snodgress and outfielder Keenyn Walker were reassigned to minor league camp. This is common during Spring Training, as youngsters get a chance to work with the big club. Here's hoping these men use their experience well while continuing to climb the minor league ladder in 2014.

Johnson, Semien honored by Baseball America
Most outlets believe the White Sox farm system has improved significantly over the last couple of years. Even though a system is not completely defined by its top few players, boasting multiple top-flight prospects goes a long way in public perception.
Baseball America released its Top 100 Prospect List in advance of the 2014 season, and the White Sox claimed four of the players on the list. A year ago, Chicago only had one Top 100 farmhand (Courtney Hawkins at 55).
This year, a pair of Dash alumni represented the White Sox. Righty Erik Johnson, who is a favorite to corral a rotation spot in The Show, checks in at 63, while fellow Cal product Marcus Semien, a versatile infielder who had a monster 2013 season, is at 91.
Two newly-acquired prospects rounded out Chicago's representatives. Free agent signing Jose Abreu, who figures into Chicago's big league plans this year, was the top-ranked White Sox product on the list by collecting the 29 slot. Matt Davidson, who came over from Arizona in the Addison Reed trade during the offseason, is at 72.
For comparison, here is how the White Sox stacked up to other big league clubs represented in the Carolina League on the Top 100 Prospect List:
Atlanta (Lynchburg) – 2
Baltimore (Frederick) – 3
Boston (Salem) – 8
Cleveland (Carolina) – 3
Kansas City (Wilmington) – 4
Texas (Myrtle Beach) – 5
Washington (Potomac) – 1
Outside of Boston's significant lead, the White Sox are right there, especially when you consider Texas had two of the last four players on the list. Regardless, the reality is that Chicago's system is on the upswing, and the talent that could come through Winston-Salem in 2014 is impressive, too. Fans should not be surprised to see even more newcomers on this list from the White Sox system in 2015.

This post will be updated with the latest score and action from the game. Check back often for more action.
Miami beats Redskins 20-9.
The Redskins opened on offense after the Dolphins deferred.
Our sports reporter Alex Parker reports:
1:28 p.m., 1st quarter: On the Redskins second drive Rex Grossman moved the Redskins into Miami territory but was sacked on 3rd down - his second sack in as many drives Graham Gano was wide left on a 50-yard FG try Miami still leads 7-0, thanks to Reggie Bush's 1-yard TD run. With 5 minutes left in the first quarter
1:34 p.m., 1st quarter: Kevin Barnes interception sets the Redskins up with first and goal a holding call on TE Logan Paulsen nullifies Torain TD run 3 plays later the Redskins have 3rd and goal from the 11 - take a timeout
1:38 p.m., 1st quarter: On 3rd and goal from the Miami 11 Rex hit Roy Helu for a short gain Gano's 26-yard FG is good Miami leads 7-3.
1:53 p.m., 2nd quarter: Early second quarter The Dolphins take a 10-3 lead on Dan Carpenter's 21 yard field goal.
2:04 p.m., 2nd quarter: Rex Grossman drove the Redskins into Miami territory. And then on a pass intended for Leonard Hankerson, Grossman was intercepted by Vontae Davis (Dunbar HS in DC) Hankerson slipped on the play - probably the reason for the INT Miami still leads 10-3 midway through the second quarter
2:13 p.m., 2nd quarter: Rex Grossman completes a 16-yard pass to tight end Fred Davis, his first catch of the day. @mattmedved
2:19 p.m., 2nd quarter: Graham Gano is good on a 47-yard field goal the Redskins cut Miami's lead to 10-6 about a minute left in the half
2:23 p.m., Halftime: The Redskins trail 10-6 at the half Rex's numbers so far: 9 of 12 for 103 yards with one interception it's very obvious that he is so much more willing and adept - than John Beck - at throwing the ball downfield and threatening the defense the offense does look better - albeit with no running game - but only 6 points to show for it Unlike the last two weeks against Buffalo and San Francisco, this one actually feels like a (competitive) game at halftime
2:42 p.m.: 3rd quarter: And yet another FG from the Redskins. Gano connects from 23 yards out to cut the Dolphins lead to 10-9 The Redskins had first and goal from the 9 but lost 6 on a screen to Fred Davis, then settled for the 3. The Redskins took over at Miami's 24 after a sack/fumble by Ryan Kerrigan was recovered by Stephen Bowen
5:00{} 3rd quarter: And yet another field goal Dan Carpenter just hit from 28 yards out to give Dolphins a 13-9 lead with about 5:00 left in the third quarter the big play on the drive: Matt Moore to Brandon Marshall for 26 yards on 3rd and 4
11:57 4th quarter: Throwing for the end zone from Miami's 10 yard line, Grossman's pass is intercepted. Miami ball at their own 19 yard line.
The best and worst of Rex Grossman - in two consecutive playsBest on a big 3rd and 9 Rex throws a strike to rookie Wr Leonard Hankerson for a gain of 22 - setting up 1st and Goal from the 10
Worst very next play Rex throws into coverage intercepted by Carlos Dansby Rex's second INT if the game - although the first one didn't appear to be his fault
Miami still leads 13-9 early in the 4th
6:07 4th quarter: Miami touchdown. Dolphins lead 20-9.
The ol' endaround on a 2nd and 8 from the Redskins 18 Reggie Bush ran an 'end around' and went virtually untouched into the endzone the dolphins now lead 20-9 midway through the fourth quarer Rex Grossman got the start at QB for Washington and has brought a spark to the Redskins offense - but has thrown two interceptions
2:51 4th quarter: Redskins field goal attempt misses. Miami holds 20-9 lead.
Final:{} The Redskins lose at Miami 20-9 the Redskins first 5-game losing streak since the start of the 2001 season - under Marty Schottenheimer Rex Grossman was - as usual - a mixed bag he certainly added life to the offense - although he couldn't get the Redskins into the endzone and his pick in the red zone - with the Redskins moving toward a possible 16-13 lead - was HUGE - the play of the game by far

@Daniel and where are they going to find a rider who is currently "on it"? All the fast guys have contracts and nobody is going to release their rider from his contract for one ride on an uncompetitive bike. I'm sure there's plenty in the team who would rather just stay home, but IIRC the rules don't allow a team to skip three races in a row.
Sure Franco's race craft will be a little rusty, but the biggest problem he will face is not being used to the bike. Abraham's bike is nothing like the current factory bikes that Franco is developing, so he will have to re-adapt to what is in effect an old setup. So he is having to effectively develop his setup for the circuit from scratch in practice. The last thing he needs is wet practice.

This Girl on Fire Loves Her Black: See Alicia Keys' Best Red Carpet Dresses [Pics]
When we first met Alicia Keys, she was an itty bitty thing with her signature braids. Her sense of style has evolved and developed since she burst onto the scene with 'Fallin'.'
Over the past few years, the diva has shown a predilection for the color black on red carpets and at fancy events, but instead of relying on LBDs, there's always a twist. Her gowns and frocks have extra stylistic panache, whether it's a collar, the shape, the fabric, some peek-a-boo skin or other assorted accoutrements.

Washougal Mayor Sean Guard has a court date scheduled for Thursday in Cowlitz County to determine whether his trial for allegedly impersonating a police officer is ready to go forward in September, court officials said.
Guard was originally supposed to attend court Wednesday, but his attorney Aaron Bartlett filed an affidavit of prejudice against Judge Davis Kass. Guard's case is now scheduled to be heard in Judge Ed Putka's court at 4 p.m. Thursday.
Guard entered a not guilty plea July 11 to a charge of second degree criminal impersonation for allegedly using the emergency lights on his city-owned vehicle to drive past slower-moving traffic on I-5 near Kelso. The alleged incident happened Dec. 24, 2010.
Guard's jury trial is set for Sept. 23.
Bartlett's affidavit stated, on behalf of Guard, the mayor did not believe he would get a fair trial in front of Judge Kass, court administrator Delaura Wirkkala said.. The affidavit did not contain a reason for this allegation, nor did it need to do so, Wirkkala added.

Patriots offensive lineman Stephen Neal said after the team's playoff loss to the Ravens that he was considering retirement. It wasn't until about two to three weeks ago that he changed his mind.
What led to the change?
"That's a good question," he said today on a conference call. "Football is a brutal sport and there are a lot of people banging around out there. Your body heals after a little bit of time and I feel a lot better than I did that day. It's tough to go out on a game like that. You work so hard all year, and only one team really gets to walk off the field that season satisfied. I would like to definitely come back and give it another run, work with my teammates, and have some fun and not end my career like that."
Neal said returning to the Patriots was his goal but he wasn't sure the team was interested. He said he envisions finishing his career with the team, as he doesn't see himself playing beyond the two seasons for which he's signed.
"In today's game, it's hard for people to sign with one team and be with them pretty much their entire career. I think that's something special and I'd like to do that," he said. "I think with this deal, I don't think I can play too much longer after two years."
The last time Neal was a free agent, he visited with other clubs and said he was interested in playing near San Diego, closer to his family. He didn't consider that possibility this time around.
Neal is currently at home in California and he's been spending time trying to save the wrestling program at his alma mater, Cal State Bakersfield.
"If it wasn't for the Cal State wrestling program, there is no way I'd be able to play in the NFL," he said. "I want to make sure it's there for other people's opportunities down the road. If some day my kid wants to go there and wrestle, I'd like for that program to still be alive."

White Chocolate Strawberry Scones
You make White Chocolate Strawberry Scones when the raspberries you intended to buy are ridiculously expensive and the strawberries are on sale.
That's what's great about fruit scones, you can swap in different fruit depending upon your preference and what's on sale.
Speaking of fruit, we went to the apple orchard this weekend with some friends from church!
We got apple cider slushies and of course, tons of apples.
Maybe I could use this recipe to make White Chocolate Apple Scones.
It makes sense because I love mini things (especially mini muffins) that I would make mini scones. If you want smaller scones, just make sure to use less dough when forming your dough circles.
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup butter, softened
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup chopped strawberries
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 tsp water
- 1 tbsp sugar
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Place flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and butter in a bowl and mix until well blended.
- Add one egg and milk; mix until soft. Fold in the strawberries.
- Knead the dough slightly on a lightly floured surface, then pat the dough into a circle about 1/2 inch thick. The size of your circle will depend on how large you want your scones. I split my dough in half and used one half to make the "regular sized scones" and then split the other half in half again to make "mini sized scones".
- Use a pizza cutter to cut into 8 wedges.
- Place circles on a greased baking sheet (or use parchment paper/silpat).
- Beat the other egg with water and brush egg mixture over the circles. Sprinkle the tops of the circles with sugar.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes and serve warm.
Recipe adapted from How To: Simplify
You could always swap the milk for heavy cream to make them slightly creamier/more rich.
And you could always add more chocolate chips or strawberries, just because more is usually better :-)
Now.. if I could only find a way to sneak spinach into these than they might be a nutritious breakfast.

Dell Unveils New T3610, T5610, and T7610 Workstations
Subject: General Tech, Systems | September 9, 2013 - 01:00 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: Xeon Phi, workstation, quadro, micron, LSI, k6000, Ivy Bridge-EP, firepro, dell
Along with the release of new mobile workstations, Dell announced three new desktop workstations. Specifically, Dell is launching the T3610, T5610, and T7610 PC workstations under its Precision series. The new systems reside in redesigned cases with improved cable management, removable power supplies (tool-less, removable by sliding out from rear panel), and in the case of the T7610 removable hard drives. All of the new Precision workstations have been outfitted with Intel's latest Ivy Bridge-EP based Xeon processors, ECC memory, workstation-class graphics cards from AMD and NVIDIA, Xeon Phi accelerator card options, LSI hardware RAID controllers, and updated software solutions from Intel and Dell.
The new Precision workstations side-by-side. From left to right: T3610, T5610, and T7610.
Dell's Precision T3610 is a the mid-tower system of the group powered by single socket Xeon E5-2600 v2 hardware that further supports up to 128GB DDR3 ECC memory, two graphics cards, three 3.5" hard drives, and four 2.5" SSDs.
The Precision T3610, a new single socket, mid-range workstation.
The Precision T5610 ups the ante to a dual socket IVB-EP processor system that can be configured with up to 128GB DDR3 ECC memory, two AMD FirePro or NVIDIA Quadro (e.g. Quadro K5000) graphics cards, a Tesla K20C accelerator card, three 3.5" hard drives, and four 2.5" solid state drives.
Finally, the T7610 workstation supports dual Intel Ivy Bridge-EP Xeon E5-2600 v2 series processors (up to 24 cores per system), up to 512GB DDR3 ECC memory, three graphics cards (including two NVIDIA Quadro K6000 cards), four 3.5" hard drives, and eight 2.5" SSDs.
Dell's Precision T5610 dual socket workstation.
The new Precision workstations can also be configured with an Intel Xeon Phi 3120A accelerator card in lieu of a Tesla card. The choice will mainly depend on the applications being used and the development resources and expertise available. Both options are designed to accelerate highly parallel workloads in applications that have been compiled to support them. Further, users can add an LSI hardware RAID card with 1GB of onboard memory to the systems. Dell further offers a Micron P320h PCI-E SSD that, while not bootable, offers up 350GB of high performance storage that excels at high sequential reads and writes.
On the software front, Dell is including the Dell Precision Performance Optimizer and the Intel Cache Acceleration Software. The former automatically configures and optimizes the workstation for specific applications based on profiles that are reportedly regularly updated. The other bit of software works to optimize systems that use both hard drives and SSDs with the SSDs as a cache for the mechanical storage. The Intel Cache Acceleration Software configures the caching algorithms to favor caching very large files on the solid state storage. It is a different approach to consumer caching strategies, but one that works well with businesses that use these workstations to process large data sets.
The Dell Precision T7610 workstation.
The Dell workstations are aimed at businesses doing scientific analysis, professional engineering, and complex 3D modeling. The T7610 in particular is aimed at the oil and gas industry for use in simulations and modeling as companies search for new oil deposits.
All three systems will be available for purchase worldwide beginning September 12th. Some of the options, such as 512GB of ECC and the NVIDIA Quadro K6000 on the T7610 will not be available until next month, however. The T3610 has a starting price of $1,099 while the T5610 and T7610 have starting prices of $2,729 and $3,059 respectively.

Dell Introduces Powerful New M4800 and M6800 Mobile Workstations
Subject: Systems, Mobile | September 9, 2013 - 01:00 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: workstation, quadro, precision series, optimus, mobile workstation, m6800, m4800, haswell, firepro, enduro, dell
Today, Dell announced new mobile workstation systems in 15" and 17" notebook form factors. The Dell Precision M4800 and Precision M6800 are 15" and 17" laptops constructed of magnesium alloy and anodized aluminum cases, pack some impressive portable computing power, and will be available later this week.

Both the Dell M4800 and M6800 are ISV certified, MIL-STD-810G tested, and support FIPS fingerprint readers, self encrypting hard drives, and TPM security chips. The workstations are updates to the existing M4700 and M6700 systems and can be configured with Intel Haswell i5 or i7 (including i7 Extreme Edition) processors, AMD FirePro or NVIDIA Quadro GPUs, up to 32GB of DDR3 1600MHz (or 16GB DDR3 at 1866MHz), multiple storage drives, Waves MaxxAudio, and WiGig wireless dock support that allows up to 5 external displays. Users can attach a 9-cell 97Wh slice battery in addition to the 9-cell 97Wh system battery to get extended battery life. Users can add dedicated graphics cards to the systems from AMD (FirePro) or NVIDIA (Quadro), which support Enduro and Optimus technologies respectively. The technology allows the system to turn off the dedicated cards and use the Intel processor graphics when the extra horsepower is not needed to conserve battery life. The M4800 and M6800 workstations each come with 3 year warranties.
The Dell Precision M4800 is a mobile workstation weighing 6.35 pounds. It features a backlit keyboard, trackpad, and high resolution 15.6" QHD+ IGZO display with a resolution of 3200 x 1800. The notebook can be configured with up to an Intel Core i7 "Haswell" Extreme Edition processor, an AMD FirePro M5100 Mobility Pro or NVIDIA Quadro K2100M graphics card, 32GB of DDR3 1600 MHz memory, and 2.5 TB of internal storage (two 1TB plus one 500GB drive) in RAID 0, 1, or 5 modes.
The 15" Dell Precision M4800 workstation will be available on September 12th starting at $1,249.
Stepping up to the larger 17" Precision M6800, users can configure the system with a Haswell Intel Core i7 Extreme Edition CPU, NVIDIA Quadro K5100M with 8GB of GDDR5 memory, 32GB of DDR3 1600 MHz system memory, 3.5TB of storage space in RAID 0, 1, or 5, and a 17" 1080p LED-backlit 10-point multi-touch display. This notebook weighs 7.86 pounds.
The M6800 will be available in black or phoenix red with a starting MSRP of $1,599 on September 12th.
Business customers needing portable computing power have some interesting new options with the two new Dell workstations, which pack some powerful hardware into a laptop form factor. Sure, they are not the lightest or thinnest machines, but you won't find i7 processors, 32GBs of memory, Quadro graphics, and 2+TB of storage in an ultrabook.
Higher than High Definition ... we need a better name for 2560 x 1440

Hardware.info had a chance to review 14 different 2560x1440 displays of which all but three they could find for sale; prices ranged from $500 to $950. That price range is interesting as all of the displays reviewed were 27" models, so the disparity is not caused by larger screens. Gamers may want to head straight to their findings on Response Time and Input Lag but you should spend the time to read the whole round up if you are more interested in the colour accuracy.
"Most IT product categories tend to evolve rapidly, but developments in computer monitors have been decidedly slower. Although larger screens are slowly becoming more affordable, the most common resolution remains 1920x1080 pixels. Nonetheless, this year we're seeing more and more manufacturers release WQHD monitors. Hardware.Info collected 14 different models of these very impressive monitors and tested them to find out which is the best one to get."

Dell Unveils UltraSharp 32 Ultra HD Monitor With 3840x2160 IGZO Panel
Subject: Displays | July 24, 2013 - 07:59 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: ultrasharp 32, ultrasharp, ultra hdtv, UHD, igzo, dell, 4k
Dell showed off a new Ultra HD (UHD) monitor called the UltraSharp 32 at SIGGRAPH 2013 this week. The new monitor has a 32" IGZO, or Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide, panel, which is a technology developed by Sharp that allows for smaller pixels or faster reaction times. (A similar panel is used in the ASUS PQ321Q that Ryan recently reviewed.). The panel has a 4K resolution of 3840 x 2160 and comes with a matte finish. Dell claims that its new 4K monitor supports up to 1.07 billion colors.
The monitor is fitted to an aluminum stand that allows for height ajustment. The monitor itself is rather thin, but still manages to fit an SD card reader on the left-hand side. The rest of the ports are located on the rear of the monitor, however. IO on the Dell UltraSharp 32 includes:
- 1 x DisplayPort
- 1 x Mini DisplayPort
- 3 x USB
- 1 x SD
Unfortunately, other specifications such as refresh rate are unknown. Dell has not yet released pricing information, but has stated that the UltraSharp 32 will be available in Q4 of this year. I think this is good for consumers as it should help bring 4k monitor prices down as competition heats up between the various manufacturers using these IGZO panels.
Engadget was on hand at SIGGRAPH and managed to snap several photos of the new monitor which are worth checking out.
Dell Refreshes XPS 12 Convertible Ultrabook With Better Hardware
Subject: General Tech, Systems, Mobile | July 16, 2013 - 11:09 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: xps 12 ultrabook, windows 8, ultrabook, tablet, dell
Dell has announced that within the next few weeks, it will be unleashing a refreshed version of the XPS 12 convertible ultrabook (tablet/notebook). Although the base price will be increased by $100, the refreshed tablet features Intel's latest Fourth Generation Core "Haswell" processor, a NFC radio, and a larger battery.
Specifically, Dell will be releasing at least three new XPS 12 SKUs. The lowest-end refreshed model includes an Intel Core i5-4200U processor, 4GB of RAM, and a 128GB SSD. This ultrabook/tablet SKU has an MSRP of $1,199 and is an update to the original base model with an MSRP of $1,099.
Dell's XPS 12 Convertible Ultrabook (Tablet)
Beyond the starter version, users can upgrade the CPU and memory to an Intel Core i5-4500U and 8GB of DDR3 for $200 more ($1,399 MSRP).
Finally, users can take the $1,399 model and upgrade the storage to a 512GB solid state drive (SSD). This version of the XPS 12 has a MSRP of $1,999.
Dell claims that the updated ultrabook has up to 1.6-times the performance and 2.5 hours more battery life (8 hours, 43 minutes) thanks to the move to Haswell CPUs and a larger 50Wh battery respectively. Of course, the original XPS 12 used Ivy Bridge CPUs and 47Wh batteries. The new models have started shipping and will be available for purchase around the end of July.
E3 2013: Dell Alienware X51 Gaming Desktop Refresh
Subject: General Tech, Systems, Shows and Expos | June 13, 2013 - 08:17 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: E3, E3 13, dell, alienware, alienware x51
The launch of Haswell led to many new product launches, and so did E3. The overlap? The Alienware X51 gaming desktop has been refreshed with some very compelling components at a surprisingly compelling price.
Unfortunately, there is a slight difference between the Canadian and the American offerings; it is not a case of one citizen paying more than the another, however, as things are more shuffled around than outright better. Our Canadian readers start with a base price of $1499.99, and Americans start out at $1449.99. Americans can spend an extra $100 to upgrade their DVD reader to a Blu-Ray drive, Canadians get Blu-Ray by default. Therefore, if you desire a Blu-Ray drive, it is $50 cheaper to be Canadian; otherwise, it is $50 cheaper to be American.
Whether you are Canadian or American, I would personally recommend spending the extra $100 upgrading your RAM from 8GB to 16 GB. Sure, 8GB is a lot, but the extra can go a long way especially with the direction that web browsers have been heading. You each, also, have the option of spending $300 and receiving a 256GB SSD albeit also at the expense of, beyond the $300, reducing your 2TB HDD down to a slower, 5400RPM 1TB drive.
In all, this actually looks quite compelling for someone who wishes to have a console-esque form-factor near their TV. Unfortunately there are currently no Ubuntu-based options for this X51, although you may freely ($0) choose between Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit and Windows 8 64-bit.
Computex 2013: Dell Shows Off XPS 11 Convertible Tablet With 1440p Display
Subject: Mobile, Shows and Expos | June 3, 2013 - 08:21 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: xps 11, windows 8, dell, convertible tablet, computex 2013, computex, 1440p
Dell is showing off a new XPS 11 convertible tablet PC at Computex. The new tablet takes cues from Lenovo's Yoga ultrabook and switches out the traditional Dell center hinge for a new Yoga-like 180-degree hinge that folds back until the display is on the opposite side of the keyboard. In another twist, Dell has opted for a flat keyboard with keys that have no physical travel. Instead, it offers adjustable haptic and audio feedback when typing.
Engadget goes hands-on with Dell's new XPS 11.
Dell has managed to create an 11.6" convertible notebook that is 15mm thick and less than 2.5 pounds. According to Dell representatives on the show floor, the XPS 11 will come with a high resolution 2560 x 1440 IPS touchscreen display, which is practically-unheard of for such a tiny form factor notebook. Even better, the tablet will come with a pressure sensitive active digitizer.
The XPS 11 will run Windows 8, and is likely powered by Intel's Haswell "4th Generation Core" processor. However, Dell has not yet announced any internal specifications and the device on the show floor is merely a prototype. In other words, the design and internal hardware is not yet finalized and subject to change.
Engadget managed to get some hands on time with the XPS 11 at Computex. Unfortunately, they were not allowed to try out the keyboard or use the digitizer. Judging by the hands-on photos they shot, the upcoming tablet will support USB 3.0, SD cards, audio and HDMI output.
The 1440p display is impressive and the new keyboard should allow the device be more ergonomic in tablet mode. I'm intrigued but skeptical about my ability to use this as a daily driver device with the flat, no travel, keyboard. At the very least, hopefully it spawns some competition for 11.6" devices with high resolution displays!
Dell Launches Cheaper Alienware X51 With Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Subject: Systems | April 9, 2013 - 07:37 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: ubuntu 12.04 lts, ubuntu, linux, dell, alienware x51
Dell has been one of the biggest (major OEM) supporter of the open source Ubuntu Linux operating system, and it seems the Linux love is trickling down to the company's boutique Alienware PC lineup as well. A new version of the Alienware X51, a small form factor gaming PC, is now available with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS pre-installed. Quite possibly the closest thing (so far) to a Steam Box, the Alienware X51 can run the Steam for Linux client along with all of the Linux games available on Valve's digital distribution service. Granted, the Ubuntu version cannot tap into the relatively-massive Windows game library out of the box, but it is also $100 cheaper than the X51 pre-installed with Windows due to Linux being free, and thus costing Dell less.
The Alienware X51 hardware is decent for a small form factor system, though it maxes out at a NVIDIA GTX 660 in the highest-end SKU. For $600, you can get an X51 will a dual-core Intel Core i3-3220 processor clocked at 3.3GHz, a NVIDIA GTX 645 1GB graphics card, 6GB of DDR3 1600MHz RAM, and a 1TB 7200RPM hard drive. On the other end fo the part configuration is the highest-end $1049 option, with a quad-core Core i7-3770 CPU clocked at 3.4GHz, a NVIDIA GTX 660 1.5GB GPU, 8GB of DDR3 1600MHz memory, and a 1TB 7200RPM hard drive.
The Alienware X51 chassis measures 12.5" x 12.5" x 3.74" and should fit into most entertainment centers (if you can get past the significant-other approval factor, that is). The PC comes equipped with Dell's 1506 802.11g/n Wi-Fi card as well, for situations where Ethernet or Powerline Ethernet is not an option.
It is nice to see Dell continuing to support Linux in some small way. Hopefully as Valve pushes for further Steam for Linux adoption, we will see more Linux-compatible games and OEMs will take notice and support the open source OS more openly in consumer lineups (a geek can dream...)!
You can find more information on the Alienware X51 at alienware.com/ubuntu/.
Does the inclusion of Ubuntu sway you towards the Alienware X51 (at least it's cheaper than the PISTON...), or will you be building your own custom Steam Box?
New Flash based products coming to a server near you

[H]ard|OCP has wanted to publish their review of the ASUS HD 7970 DirectCU II for a while but ran into a compatibility issue during their testing and ended up being a perfect example of what sometimes happens to review sites and enthusiasts on the bleeding edge. [H] uses a Dell 3007WFP with a resolution of 2560x1600 which necessitates the use of a dual link DVI connection, which cause the issue you can see below. No other setup seemed to reproduce this problem, even the same monitor on a single link DVI at 1920x1080 or at the higher resolution on Display Port would not display the issue. So what began as a review of an HD 7970 with some nice extra features from ASUS became a long session of troubleshooting. Take a read through the review as these cards should be back in stock over the next few months, very likely with a solution to this problem already incorporated.
"Today we have the ASUS HD 7970 DirectCU II strapped to our test bench for your reading pleasure. We will compare it to the AMD Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition and to the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 to determine whether the custom VRMs and DirectCU II cooling solution are the droids you are looking for in your next graphics card purchase."

text: I have a Sony Camera. I had some videos in it. To backup the same I copied them in my computer. It is a Windows Vista PC. Now everything went well. The data was around 1.5GB which copied well. I created a DVD out of those Videos. All files are kept on my desktop inside a folder. Now when I try to delete those files my PC freezes. I have to restart that forcefully. It does not respond at all. The same things happen when I right click on the files to view the size. I do not understand why this is happening. Things were working quiet fine last week, but the time I had used the camera it started giving me problem. When open the folder, the green bar which keeps on moving very slowly at the top. It does not completes. I had tried a number of things to make it work, but nothing happens. What should I do to get rid of this files.

Lee Anne,
I wanted to thank you for the beautiful presentation of your delicious food at the reception. I received so many compliments on how great the food was. Your creative input with our ideas and Melanie's ideas made a perfect collaboration that made for an unforgetable reception. I think people who try to micromanage and not trust the professionals to do what they know best, do not get the best outcome. Kimberly, Josh and I trusted you and Melanie and it paid off big time. Thank you for your patience, recommendations and help to get the most out of my budget.
We would enthusiatically recommend Capital City Catering for any event.
