So as an update...
My current buildup at Lv. 39:
Balance: 4
Defense: 13
Damage: 13
I know usually one would just go DPS and then learn to tank at lv55, but since I don't play but maybe once or twice a week, I've found that a half and half build is advantageous for those desiring to do FPs and Heroics on the way up. It isn't as gimped as some things. Sure as builds go it foregoes a lot of perk advantage, but it isn't unworkable. And it has been at least somewhat successful for me. However I've found you need to have great to EXCELLENT healers. A much-more-than-competent healer is ***critical*** to tanking as a shadow. Period.
I've found that Lv. 30+, one can actually keep up at a decent pace if they're smart about it. Shadow Tanking requires a bit of thought and tactic at all times. By its nature you have to constantly be on the ball and cannot lose the edge. In fact...it really seems to get your mind in shape. (Practice!)
Wasn't sure I liked that sort of challenge but can definitely say it isn't as boring as slogging and grinding away by just jumping in. Still comparatively frail but when survivability is more about wits and staying alert, it actually is more fun that way. Certainly makes a difference in PvP for what few times I did it.
Caveat: A pain to deal with are enemies mid range tech damage types using flamethrowers when you only have a comp like Cedrax, or a trooper player who is not primarily a healer. Such as Bounty #1 on Coruscant. Since my melee damage is slightly more than my powers and being limited at mid to close range, sometimes it even gets frustrating.
Since the high-maintenance management style of shadow tanking also requires easing up/dissecting enemies in groups I've been able to actually juggle numerous enemies at once on my own that might otherwise overwhelm other characters like my gunslinger Charlievarick (a nod to Charlie Varrick, Walter Matthau's character in a '73 movie). I can now confidently move in against two at-level golds, or multiple silvers. If I outlevel a champion, sometimes I can take that group down alone with a comp if I outlevel it enough. Barely but still able.
I digress. Dissecting groups of enemies also requires very good communication with your DPS. Some of it is common sense and should be a primer prior to doing any MMO but some people still need to be taught apparently.
Everything has to be surgical--that's the only way it works with shadows.
So how is Shadow tanking going for you now, especially since Shadows lost their self heals with 2.4? IMHO Shadow/Assassin tank requires the most ability management out of all the tank classes in SWTOR.
Challenging for sure but I haven't known how it is to self-heal. No wonder Shadows and Assassins were considered OP initially.
Very tight rotation for sure.
I have done...I think it was a detention level in Nar Shaddaa without a healer and one of my DPS even DC'd. But we managed to get through it. Slow as all hell, but we did it.
Yeah, one has to be very selective about which abilities to improve when leveling up. Probably won't do for upper level ops and the like, but as a toon leveling up it works great. Since Shadows are meant to be up-close I tend to put more into closest range abilities, but the disabling abilities have to compete for priority with abilities which give you back HP and FP on attacks. Also being half DPS I have to manage to work that in as well. But it's a versatile recipie, and it's nice to actually second or sub tank alongside another and switch to damage as needed. A couple times when the main tank has fallen, I took up the slack. Or if the main tank isn't doing his job and the healer gets nailed, I can battle rez. Even if the enemies regain all their health, there's something to be said for not having to medcenter it every time when you wipe.
This is probably redundant but I wouldn't say this if I didn't think it was important:
Some things I've learned as a novice tank. I've also watched my roommate do the HM dread master ops, 16 player co-op. These are consistent observations.
1) Don't jump in and aggro the whole area. Especially if you're not the tank. Tanks have limits to how much damage they can absorb, and a healer(s) cannot keep the tank (and invariably the rest of the group) alive if they're receiving damage faster than the healer(s) can counter it. This is especially important if the tank is a Shadow. I don't appreciate it when I'm staving off 5-8 enemies and someone goes and pulls another 3-5 enemies. Nothing pisses off a healer more either, apparently.
2) PLEASE DON'T attack the champion I just stunned in stealth, especially if there's multiple golds in the area. I cannot tell you how many times this annoyance happens. I'm not a power tripper, but if I say don't do it, DON'T #%$@ING DO IT. Also, let me get their attention first before you jump in. Sentinels, DPS Guardians, DPS Troopers I'm talking to *you*.
3) Keep away from the front of of enemies. If the enemy is a boss with a 'rage' timer, I need you to cut him down fast before time runs out and it's a wipe. You can't do that if you're dead!
4) Instakill one-shot attacks, and percentage damage will kill you fast regardless of your durability. Get out of the way. Yeah I can Battle-Rez as a shadow, but if the enemy's attention goes off me as a tank, then everyone else dies.
That's right, Bixby Snyder folks.

TEMPE, Ariz.—The Arizona State sand volleyball team will take its second trip to Tucson in two weeks this weekend, this time competing in the Wildcat Spring Challenge on Friday and Saturday at the Arizona Sand Volleyball Courts.
On Friday, ASU will face Tulane at 4 p.m. PT, and on Saturday the Sun Devils will have a rematch with Arizona Christian at 10 a.m. PT.
This weekend's seeding is:
1. Bianca Arellano and Bethany Jorgensen (1-1)
2. Macey Gardner and Whitney Follette (1-1)
3. Kizz Willey and Jordy Checkal (2-0)
4. Genevieve Pirotte and BreElle Bailey (1-1)

The Green Wave is 1-1 to open its third season, falling to Stetson, 4-1, before coming back to edge Florida Gulf Coast, 3-2.
The Tulane duo of junior Grace Weaver and freshman Annie Shurtz, went undefeated in the dual competition in the No. 2 position, topping Stetson's Julie Bassett and Katie DiGriolamo, 21-14, 21-17, before they took own FGCU's Karina Mambuca and Carolina Jordan, 21-11, 17-21, 15-11.
Following the dual competition, the Green Wave competed in the Spring Break Pairs Tournament, also hosted by Stetson, and the tandem of freshman Tea Juric and sophomore Jackie Wenger came out of the losers bracket to win the Upper Division Pairs bracket. The duo is now 9-6 on the year.
The Sun Devil sand volleyball team opened its first-ever season last week at the Arizona Invitational in Tucson, taking a win over Arizona Christian, 5-0, before falling to the host Wildcats, 4-1.
Kizzy Willey and Jordy Checkal went 2-0 on the weekend and were named to the Arizona Invitational All-Tournament Team.
Against the Firestorm, the Sun Devils started things off with wins at the No. 3 and No. 4 positions, with Willey and Checkal defeating Betsey Caulfield and Aly Furno, 21-12, 21-15, while BreElle Bailey and Genevieve Priotte rolled past Breezy Tutwiler and Carlee Swanson, 21-5, 21-10.
In the No. 1 position, Bianca Arellano and Bethany Jorgensen defeated Hailey Worden and Samantha McCants with a team-low allowance of only nine total points at 21-4, 21-5. At No. 2, Macey Gardner and Whitney Follette defeated Sydney Smith and Kailaa Heaney, 21-6, 21-4.
The Firestorm was forced to forfeit the match at the No. 5 position, leading to the Sun Devil sweep.
Against Arizona, Willey and Checkal defeated Ronni Lewis and Rachel Rhoades 21-18, 23-21, in the No. 3 position, while Arellano and Jorgensen were edged by Madi Kingdon and Jane Croson in three sets, 21-19, 15-21, 6-15.
The Sun Devils played a close match in the No. 5 position, where Nora Tuioti-Mariner and Andi Lowrance lost the opening set to Emily Kiser and Sara Seiber, 21-15, before being edged in the second set, 21-19.
Sand volleyball is contested with five pairings in the best of three sets, which are played to 21 points. The tiebreaker third set is played to 15.
The team win goes to the squad that secures three of the five wins throughout the match.
ASU's team pairings for the 2014 season will be:
Sophomores Macey Gardner and Whitney Follette
Sophomore Bianca Arellano and senior Bethany Jorgensen
Freshman Kizzy Willey and sophomore Jordy Checkal
Freshmen Genevieve Pirotte and BreElle Bailey

Arizona Christian will make the trip to Tempe on Friday, April 11 for a match at 4 p.m., and ASU will round out the 2014 slate with a pair of home matches, hosting Arizona on April 24 at 3 p.m. MT before playing their finale against Boise State on April 25 at 4 p.m. MT.
ASU will also make a trip to California, taking on Loyola Marymount on April 19 at 2 p.m. MT before competing in the Pac-12 Tournament on April 19-20 in Santa Monica.
The PERA Club, ASU's new home, is located three and a half miles north of the Tempe Campus on 1 East Continental Dr.
PERA, which stands for Project Employees Recreation Association is a private club for the employees and families of the Salt River Project.
The 83-acre club houses a social center, employee store, fitness center, swimming pool, game courts, and fields and offers children's programs, fitness classes, business meetings, sports leagues, and parties.
This season, indoor volleyball director of operations, Jackie Scarduzio, will serve as the sand assistant coach, joining head coach Jason Watson.
In the fall, the Sun Devils (19-14, 8-12 Pac-12) unseated the defending national champions en route to its second-consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance. ASU opened the season with a 12-1 record, sweeping each team they defeated. Battling through the Pac-12 Conference schedule, the Sun Devils rounded out their season in Hawaii, falling in a five-set thriller to BYU. Senior Stephanie Preach stepped into the record books, rounding out her career as the second-ever Sun Devil to reach the 2000-dig plateau. Macey Gardner was named to the Pac-12 All-Conference team, while BreElle Bailey was named to the All-Freshman Team. Caitlyn Francis earned First-Team All-Academic honors, while Shannan McCready was named to the second team, and Gardner and Whitney Follette each earned honorable mention nods.

Book of Job Chapter 19 Summary
I Will Be Redeemed
- Apparently no one is listening, so Job reaffirms his desire to plead his case before God.
- He's so worked up about it, he wants to etch his complaint in something more permanent than his mortal voice. Maybe on a rock or—surprise, surprise—in a book.

Before Pigtail was born, The Gorilla and I actively observed the fellow parents in our life and tried to articulate what we wanted to emulate about their parenting style.
Tops on our list of Parents We Admire was Cousin Casey. Casey is the wife of The Gorilla's first cousin and they own the lake house next door to ours. We've created a family compound of sorts. Spending our summers fifty feet away from one another means that I've had plenty of opportunity to stalk Casey while she parents her two children, ages eleven and nine.
The Gorilla calls Casey a SuperMom, but he doesn't mean it in the frenzied, overwrought way that has become the norm for that title. (Why, I wonder, does "SuperMom" now have a negative connotation? Without achieving perfection or anxiety, shouldn't we all strive to be Super Moms? Or is that not cool anymore?) Cousin Casey is a SuperMom because she'll be teaching the whole neighborhood how to get up on water skis (in her bikini), then an hour later serve us all a feast of food. In her spotless house.
Now, those are the reasons I want to be Cousin Casey, but they are not the reasons that she is a good parent. From this momma's point of view, she strikes a solid balance between stern and loving. That may sound simple, but her kids are polite and respectful to adults, outgoing and friendly with other kids, and still like to spend time with their mom. Within all the fun activities that Casey creates (and there are a lot), there are also clear boundaries. She is friendly with her kids, but there is a delineation between her and their friends. She commands respect without screaming that she deserves respect.
I'm still not sure what Cousin Casey's secret is, and even if I did I'm not sure her formula would exactly work in our little family with different personalities at play. But it has been important to me as a new parent to identify people in my life that I can watch and learn from, that I can trust with a solid answer, and that I feel I can follow in their footsteps.
Do you have that person? Who in your life is your parenting model?

First dual-CPU Snapdragon chipsets from Qualcomm start shipping
Announced by Qualcomm more than a year ago, the MSM8260 and MSM8660 chipsets are now finally shipping – they're the company's first Snapdragon chipsets to have two application processor cores.
Designed for high-end smartphones, the new dual-CPU Snapdragon chipsets can run at up to 1.2GHz. They feature support for WXGA (1280 x 800) displays, GPU with 3D/2D acceleration engines, 1080p video, built-in low power GPS, and dedicated low power audio engine.
The Qualcomm MSM8260 will power HSPA+ smartphones, while the MSM8660 is made for multi-mode HSPA+/CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev. B handsets.
Qualcomm didn't say when exactly handsets based on its new dual-core chipsets will be available, but the company's partners are probably already working on something. Who knows, maybe Nokia's first Snapdragon smartphone will use the MSM8260 or the MSM8660.

Baseball Splits Twinbill with Columbia Friday
The Princeton baseball team split doubleheader action Friday at Columbia to open the four-game series. The Tigers dropped a 4-1 decision to open the series, before responding with a 5-2 victory to conclude the twinbill.
Game One
Columbia held a 9-4 hitting advantage, as the Lions defeated the Tigers 4-1 to kick off the series.
After seeing its first six batters retired and Columbia take a 2-0 lead, Princeton saw its first base runners in the top of the third. Blake Thomsen and Alex Flink were dealt consecutive one-out walks, and the bases were loaded off an Alec Keller infield single. The Tigers were unable to capitalize on their scoring opportunity, as Matt Bowman hit into a double play.
Two frames later, Princeton again loaded the bases with one out, but the Tigers were unable to capitalize and break up the shutout.
Following 4.5 scoreless innings, Columbia doubled its lead with a pair of sixth inning runs to hold a 4-0 advantage heading into the final frame of the game.
In the seventh, the Tigers loaded bases with one out for the third time in the game. This time a Bowman fielder's choice sent home Princeton's only run in the game.
The loss marked pitcher Mike Ford's (3-4) first in Ivy play. He had a pair of strikeouts in the game.
Game Two
Princeton's offense picked up in game two, as the Tigers defeated Columbia 5-2 to conclude day one action of the two-day series.
The game was a pitcher's duel over the first three frames, as the only recorded base runner during that span was due to Lion fielding error. In the fourth, Sam Mulroy singled up the middle and was advanced on a wild pitch, but Columbia's pitcher Tim Giel managed to get out of the inning before Princeton could strike first.
In the bottom half of the inning, the Lions broke up the scoreless draw with a pair of runs on two hits.
Steve Harrington led off the fifth with a double and was advanced to third on a Tyler Servais grounder. Designated hitter Ryan Albert cut Columbia's lead in half, 2-1, with an RBI double.
While starting pitcher Zak Hermans dealt Columbia a 1-2-3 fifth inning, Princeton's offense took control of the scoreboard in the top of the sixth. Bowman reached on a leadoff error and was scored during John Mishu's ensuing at bat. Mishu hit an RBI double to left field and advanced to third on an error. Ford made it a 3-2 game with his RBI single through the right side.
With runners on second and third, Princeton added a pair of insurance runs in the eighth. Harrington, who went 2-for-4, with two RBI and a run, sent both runners home with his second double of the game.
Pitcher Hermans (5-2) threw 8.0 innings for the Tigers, tallying six strikeouts in 32 batters faced. Ryan Makis came in and pitched the ninth, earning his first save of the year off a 1-2-3 inning.
Princeton (17-15, 11-4 Ivy) remains in second place in the Gehrig Division, as Cornell swept Penn to improve 13-2 in conference play. The Tigers and Lions (15-22, 7-7 Ivy) conclude the series on Saturday, April 21. First pitch is scheduled for 1:30 p.m.

Police believe they have a lead on a local girl who disappeared about 2 weeks ago.
Pam Massimiani says she came home on Saturday April 13th to find her daughter 14-year old Emily Paul, gone.
Since she says it was not like Emily to run away, she reported the teen missing.
Law enforcement issued statewide alerts asking people to report any information, but Bay County Sheriff's Investigators now say they have received reliable evidence, indicating Paul is in our area, and is unharmed.
They say they'll continue searching for her, but are now classifying her as a runaway.
"You can get the public jaded to seeing pictures of missing kids to where they don't really take it seriously. We are always very wary of that because we want the cases that are most serious, for example an active abduction; we want those to be taken real serious," said Investigator Albert Willis with the Bay County Sheriff's Department.
Authorities say Paul did leave a note saying that she was running away

"It was a pretty salad but all I could taste was the awful sourness of the lemonade. It over-rode everything. If I make it again, the lemonade will be cut in half, at least, or replaced with something else. For all the work of chopping the fruit, it was a bust."

Reviews for Contest-Winning Raspberry Coffee Cake
"Amazing recipe. Love working with this soft dough. To keep filling from being too runny, beat 1 egg lightly but add only half of egg to filling. When rolling up dough I brush far edge of dough with water and sprinkle with a little flour, then pinch dough together after rolling up."
"This is a family favorite at any family brunch get together. My brother always requests this for Christmas Morning Breakfast. We have made the dough in our bread machine over night so is easy to put together in the morning."
"I have read all the reviews and have a questions. Might the problem with the dough be due to there not being enough flour in the recipe? Using 1 tablespoon yeast for 2-1/4 to 2-1/2 cups of flour seems excessive. this might be the reason that the dough is sticky and so soft. I am going to try this recipe because I like coffee cake, especially Entenmann's cakes."
"I just took these out of the oven, and they are delicious. The dough part of it it as light as eiderdown! However, that being said, I do agree with others who say that the recipe is difficult to work with. I noticed that the dough was very soft, but it was when I spread on the filling and jam and tried to roll them up that the trouble began! I managed to get the first loaf rolled up pretty well without too much leakage, but I used the pastry cloth to get the dough rolling on the second one, and filling oozed out all over everything. I still went ahead and got it rolled as best I could and just went ahead and baked them, not knowing what the results would be. Luckily, even though I had to use a spoon to eat part of it, nothing stuck real bad or burned, and it was sooooo good! I'm trying to think of what could remedy the problem.....maybe half of the filling would be enough, or maybe I'd make the filling a day ahead and refrigerate it before making the rest of it. I did use a large egg in the filling ...maybe a small one would work better. I think more flour could be added, but the dough really was light and wonderful made as the recipe directed. Whatever.....the coffe cakes are too delicious to write them off as impossible to make successfully, and I plan on experimenting to see if I can do it better next time for more aesthetic results even though as far as taste, nothing needs improvement!"
"Thanks for an amazing recipe! I did leave out the egg in the fillings due to the complaints of it being too runny to work with (also skipped the salt in the filling). I've made it twice and had no trouble shaping the loaves. It reminds of of Entenmann's raspberry danish only better! My husband loved it!"

An Account of the Behaviour and Confessions of the Condemn'd Criminals that were Executed at Tyburn on Wednesday November the Sixth, 1700.
MR Wykes, the late Ordinary of Newgate Prison, being deceased, I was appointed (during the Vacancy) to attend the Prisoners there, and accordingly on Saturday last, being the second instant, I began to visit them. I then pray'd with them, and exhorted them to Repentance; using to that purpose all the Arguments I could think proper to work them into a just sense of their miserable Estate, &c.
On the Lord's Day I Preach'd to them both in the Fore and Afternoon, and took my Text out of 1 Cor. 15. 24. which was in these Words; Awake to Righteousness, and Sin not. From which I shew'd them, 1st the mischievous Consequences of Sin, 2. The necessity of Repentance, 3. The means of effecting it, and obtaining Pardon of God.
On Monday I attended them again, and continued Exhorting, and Instructing, and Praying with them. And then proceeded to an Exhortation of each of them in particular; adapting at the same time, Admonitions suitable to their respective Cases. Now I thought them to be Penitent, and willing to endeavour after the obtaining that state of Grace, which I had shewed them they must be in, before they were fit to enter into that of everlasting Happiness and Glory. They sighed mightily, and grown'd and shed Tears: But would not confess, but obstinately deny'd their Crimes. They had told me the Day before, namely the last Lord's Day, that Thomas Payne (one of the Condemned Prisoners, and a Papist ) desired to receive some Instructions from me, that very Afternoon, in the Lodge, and now they repeated that Request again to me, who told them that I was very willing to give him the satisfaction and Instruction he desired; and therefore intended immediately to follow them to the Lodge. But by the good Providence of God, which I humbly acknowledge, and am thankful for, staying behind a little longer than I purposedly design'd, and they expected; when I came down, I found they were all in an uproar in the Lodge, where they offer'd violence to the Officers about them, and took some Persons into the Hold, where they kept them all Night. To repress this Mutiny, and make these Prisoners governable, the Officers were forc'd to fire several times upon them. And then it was that one of the Criminals, Michael Brown by Name, was killed with a Bullet.
On the Tuesday I went to speak to them in the Morning, but could not perswade them into a sober sense. In the Afternoon they were now willing to come and meet me in the Chappel; but it was not thought safe they should then be remov'd out of the Hold, least they should again grow Rebellous and troublesom.
On this Day I went to them betimes in the Morning, and had them in the Chappel, I made a short Exhortation to them, and then prayed for them suitably to their Conditions. I was forc'd to be very succint for fear of fresh Disturbance. They were carried down again, and being a little while after put into several Carts, and conducted to Tyburn, I met them at that place of Execution to assist them with my last Admonitions and Prayers: when they were seeing themselves upon the brink of Death, they made more open Confessions than before; which are as followeth,
I. John Slaughter, Condemn'd for Robbing on the High-way. He was Born in Ireland, and Apprentice to a Smith there. He went from his Master, and listed himself a Soldier . He confest he had been a most notorious Offender; That he was much given to Wine and Women; That about a Twelve-month since he killed a Serjeant of the King's Guard on Tower-hill; That he had committed many and grievous Crimes; and now was heartily sorry for them, and particularly for that he stood condemn'd for; begging God's Pardon from his Heart, and desiring the Pardon of all he had injur'd. Now he seem'd to struggle mightily against his corrupt Nature, and to be truly Penitent. He earnestly cry'd to God for Mercy in Jesus Christ.
II. William Spell, A Waterman , Condemn'd for Felony and Burglary, own'd his having been a great Sinner, and justly brought to this condign Punishment. He at last particularly confess'd himself guilty of the Fact for which he was Condemn'd; and prayed that God for Christ's sake would forgive him all his Sins.
III. Robert Patrickson, Condemn'd for Felony and Burglary. He confest he was guilty of this and several other Crimes; for which he earnestly askt Pardon of God, and those Persons he had wrong'd.
IV. Thomas Turner, Condemn'd for Robbing on the High-ways, acknowledged that he had committed many sins, of which he heartily repented, and particularly of that he was to die for. He implored God's boundless Mercy thro' the infinite Merits of Christ.
V. Thomas Field, being also Condemn'd for Robbing on the High ways, bewail'd his lamentable Condition. He confest he was guilty of many Miscarriages, and acknowledged the Ju
stice of God towards him. And at last owned in particular, his having committed the Fact that had brought him to this sad and untimely Death.
VI. Thomas Huggins, Condemned for Felony and Robbery. I found this Person to have been well brought up, and to know better things than he practised. He was but a young Man, but had been a great Offender, and much hardned in sin. At last he was (I hope) melted into true Repentance, and confessed he was justly Condemned and Punished.
VII. John Arthur, Condemned for Felony and Burglary. He acknowledged his Sins to have been many and great, and most grievous; and in particular. owned himself guilty of the Robbery for which he was now justly to suffer. He prayed God would Pardon him for Christs sake, and desired also their Pardon whom he had done wrong to.
VIII. Thomas Payne, Condemned for Robbing on the High-ways. He was an Irish-man, and of the Romish Religion . He declared he had Lived, and now Died in that Communion. He seemed however to take my Admonitions in good part, and to be satisfied in a Point that then fell in my way to take notice of to him. As soon as he was come to the Gallows, one brought some certain Garments for him to put on. But it being found improper that he should strip himself, and shift his Cloaths, in that Place: He bemoaned himself mightily that he was not at liberty to put on Holy Garments before he died. Then I took occasion to tell him, That it mattered not what the Garments were his Body was covered with, provided he had his Soul cloathed with the Righteousness of Christ, and obtained his Grace and Pardon here, in order to future Joy and Glory hereafter. He seemed to be Penitent, and owned he was justly Condemned. He prayed God, and all the World to forgive him, and declared that he died in Charity with all Men.
There was another Condemnrd Prisoner, namely, Michael Brown, that should have been Executed with these 8 Persons, but he received his Death before, being (as I have said killed in the Fray that hapned in the Lodge at Newgate, on Munday last. He was then but just gone from me, and I had wrought more on him than on any of the rest at that time; for he not only confest with Tears, that he was a gret Sinner, and undone for ever, unless God was pleased to shew Mercy to him, which he earnestly implored: But he also ingenuously acknowledged that he was justly Condemned. He had first declared to me, That he was born of Protestant Parents, but in his Travels had changed his Religion, and turned Papist , and now owned that he was in a great measure convinced of his Error, and would desire some farther Discourse with me about it before he Died. Thus far he was brought towards a Reformation, both in his Principles and Manners, when Death met him before he was aware of it.
This is the Account, which the short time I had to be with the Criminals above-named has enabled me to give of them. They all confest the respective Crimes for which they now suffered, and seemed to to be all of them very Penitent. I hope their Repentance (though late) was Sincere, and that our Good and Gracious God had Mercy on their Souls.

text: 13 January 2008 archive See all show photos With "discreet luxury" as his starting point, Lars Nilsson won murmers of approval by the dozen from visitors to Milan's Via Pontaccio as he showcased his first ever collection for Gianfranco Ferré, following the eponymous designer's sudden death last June. And this non-catwalk presentation was an ideal kind of new beginning. Pale-skinned models in dapper lace-through shoes and muted-hue gloves gave a thoroughly modern feel to traditional three-piece suits (in various checks and often worn over fine rollneck sweaters), rustic collared jumpers teamed with baggy cords and structurally exquisite overcoats. It wasn't all so Great Gatsby, however - a cream fur-trimmed jacket paired with spray-on black leather trousers is a case in point - and all in all, left nobody feeling that Nilsson had disregarded the house's heritage; nor done nothing to move the look on.

A conversation with R. Andrew Chesnut and an excerpt from his new book, Devoted to Death: Santa Muerte, The Skeleton Saint.
By David Metcalfe
One of the most contentious emergent religious phenomena in recent years has been the increased public presence of Santa Muerte, Saint of Holy Death, a Mexican folk saint whose skeletal visage is sweeping across the Americas. With her many devotees among society's dispossessed she's drawn the ire of orthodoxies, both religious and legal, and has become a beacon for the media, heightening the lurid glow of stories covering immigration and the drug war. A new book by Dr. R. Andrew Chesnut, Bishop Walter Sullivan Chair in Catholic Studies at Virginia Commonwealth University, Devoted to Death: Santa Muerte, the Skeleton Saint (Oxford University Press, 2012) is one of the first academic studies in English of this complex and controversial figure. He was kind enough to answer a few questions and provide some insight into this fluid and fast growing devotional tradition.
The media portrayal of Santa Muerte is often tied to drug violence. How did that affect you as an academic researching her devotees?
As a specialist in Latin America history, I had done research before in dangerous areas. A lot of the research was conducted at the main shrine in Mexico City, where I know the owner pretty well, Dona Queta, the famous devotional pioneer. So even though it's one of Mexico City's most notorious barrios I felt like she and others, and maybe possibly the Boney Lady herself were watching my back. Although I did take all the precautions that I could.
One of the aspects I really enjoyed about your book — and above you say "possibly the Boney Lady herself" — is that you're able to capture a similar respect for her devotees. How is that being received by readers?
Devoted to Death came out in January and is the first academic book in English on Santa Muerte. So far the reviews have been positive. Until now most of the accounts of her have been by journalists, and many of them seeking to play up her dark side, the Santa Muerte of the black candle and such. So yeah, I think there's an appreciation of my underscoring her complexities and her multi-faceted identity.
I've noticed that the media covers Santa Muerte differently than they do other devotional phenomena. It seems journalists are pushed to recognize her as a physical being. Often they don't talk about her phenomenon as though people believe in Santa Muerte; journalists fall into saying, well Santa Muerte does this, or attracts that, as if they are discussing a real being.
I think I did that as well, but I did it intentionally to convey that, for her devotees, she very much is animated, she's a living saint. I think it's a rather natural tendency to think so.
She's often referred to as a female, she has a female identity, so you'll see that I often refer to her as 'her.' I was aware of what I was doing in the book, but I felt like it made sense because I was trying to excavate and highlight how her devotees view her.
In fact, to add to that, an academic journal sent me an article submission on Santa Muerte to review and the authors, while acknowledging her female identity, constantly referred to her as it. That struck me as odd.
The way media tend to treat even the practice of, for instance, burying a St. Joseph statue upside down for good luck selling a house, is very different from how they treat Santa Muerte. Do you think that the media are aware of the role they play in defining how devotees see these rituals? Do you think their coverage is a part of how belief in Santa Muerte developed in people's awareness, in their practice?
That's a good question, I don't think I can answer that because it would require being in their heads. But I guess what strikes me is that so much journalistic coverage is really superficial. It's people who know nothing about the topic. They'll talk to me, they'll do a cursory Google search, and the next thing they're writing articles about it. That's how a lot of journalistic coverage of my stuff is anyway.
There's another reason why it's mostly only been the black candle side highlighted by the media. As you know most media is profit driven, it's commercial media, so they want to sell their product and violence sells.
The African Diaspora and Afro-Latin traditions seem like they're very porous. How far south does Santa Muerte's influence reach? Does she have influence in South America? Has her devotion been integrated into traditions like Candomblé as well, or is she more of a Mexican phenomenon?
Santa Muerte is present in all of Central America. I personally have seen altars to her in Guatemala. When I was In Cusco, Peru a couple of summers ago, I found some of her incense at the big public market there in Peru. I know she is in Venezula.
I spent a month in Brazil this summer, and no, she hasn't been integrated into Candomblé or any of the other Afro-Brazilian religions yet.
Both here and in Mexico there's a fair amount of integration with Cuban Santería. I think what you see in terms of the Afro Diaspora religions is a hybridization taking place in Mexico City.
An excerpt from Chapter Four of R. Andrew Chesnut's Devoted to Death, "Red Candle of Love and Passion," pp. 129-31.):
Beyond the standard love-binding prayer printed on the back of thousands of votive candles of all colors, there are specific rituals that those seeking a miracle of the heart can perform to increase the chances that Saint Death, the most powerful of love doctors, will give heed to their pleas. And I'm still amazed that I don't have to look any further than my own social network in Richmond to find someone performing such rituals. Lupe, the thirty-four year-old mother of one of my wife's third grade students, came to Richmond with her husband, Miguel, eleven years ago from the north-central Mexican state of Zacatecas. Married at age thirteen, she complains bitterly about her husband's domineering ways. For example, he might be gone from their tiny apartment for four or five days and then return to demand a full accounting of Lupe's whereabouts during his unexplained absence.
In January, 2010, Miguel was detained by ICE agents in Arizona, where he had gone to wait for a relative from Zacatecas who was attempting to cross the border into the U.S. with the help of "coyotes" (smugglers). Having been deported, Miguel is now back in Zacatecas and has no immediate plans to try to return to his wife and children in Richmond. In the meantime, Lupe has wasted no time in asking Santa Muerte to work her powerful love magic, but not to bring back Miguel to her side. Rather, the ritual she performs, right out of the pages of the Biblia de la Santa Muerte, is aimed at finding a new man, preferably a gringo like the boyfriend of her Salvadoran friend who doesn't mind if she goes out dancing on weekends without him.
Of the four love-related rituals recommended in the Saint Death Bible, Lupe chose the one described as "For Luck in Love" (Para tener suerte en el amor) as the most appropriate. Like most Santa Muertistas, Lupe has adapted the ritual to fit her own needs and resources. In parenthesis I note the changes she has made to the prescribed ritual.
1 small, bone-colored Santa Muerte statuette (red)
1 white plate
Petals of 3 red roses
1 bottle of rose oil (patchouli)
1 bottle of cinnamon oil
1 bag of red fabric (red tee shirt)
1 10 cm x 10 cm piece of personal clothing (red tee shirt)
1 piece of a binding stick (a twig found on the ground)
1 strainer
1 bucket
Put your article of clothing in the middle of the plate and immediately place the Santa Muerte on top of the clothing and then cover her with rose petals (lay her down if it's easier). Drizzle the rose and cinnamon oil over the petals and then put the binding stick on top.
Cleanse yourself from head to toe with a red votive candle lit with the matchsticks. Pray the Santa Muerte prayer (you can use the Santa Muerte prayer that best suits you). When the candle burns out, remove Santa Muerte and wrap her up together with your article of clothing in the red fabric.
Put the wrapped plate and binding stick into the red bag. Then put the rose petals to boil. Once it has boiled, let the water cool down and then use it to rinse yourself after bathing. You should always carry this amulet (the bag) with you and shouldn't let strangers or acquaintances touch it. Remember that the baths are from the neck down.
Lupe has performed the ritual twice, and is still waiting for the Bony Lady to come through with a bolillo (literally, white-bread roll but Mexican slang for gringo).

Ubisoft officially unveiled Far Cry 4 on May 15 and announced that the game is set to be released this November for the PC and all major consoles.
According to UbiBlog, Far Cry 4 will have players try to topple the dictator of an isolated nation located in the Himalayas. As with the previous game, players will explore an open world while having to survive a jungle environment.
Dan Hay, the games executive producer, has stated, "Following the success of Far Cry 3, we wanted to take the franchise to the next level and create a game that will surprise players and exceed fans' expectations. Given the unique setting, we feel Far Cry 4 will stand out as a top first-person shooter and we're eager to reveal more about the game in the coming months."
The development of Far Cry 4 is being led by Ubisoft Montreal along with the support of Red Storm Entertainment, Ubisoft Toronto, Ubisoft Shanghai and Ubisoft Kiev.
Gamers who pre-order Far Cry 4 will receive a limited edition version of the game that includes bonus content and Hurk's Redemption, a single player side story that follows Hurk after the events of Far Cry 3.
The game was officially announced back in July 2013 by Tony Key, Ubisoft Senior Vice President of Marketing and Sales, during an interview with Gamespot. Then a teaser image surfaced in October depicting Vaas Montenegro (one of the main villains in Far Cry 3) wearing a straightjacket while in solitary confinement. This was followed by rumors about the Himalaya setting along with a 2015 release date.
Far Cry 4 will be the fourth game in the main series that has players fight for survival in a jungle environment. The series was originally developed by Crytek before they partnered with Electronic Arts. Because Ubisoft owned the rights to the Far Cry series, Crytek created the Crysis series as a spiritual spin-off.
More details about Far Cry 4 will be unveiled at E3 2014.

My staff accidentally applied a security database to one of my server. Instead of Analyze the Computer, he had accidentally clicked on Configure this Computer using the Security Configuration and Analysis snap-in in MMC.
For now, I'd like to revert back his changes. I have manually reverted back the Account Policies, Local Policies and Event Log settings based on another similar server; let's call it Server A.
What's bothering me now is the System Services. I found that the permission of certain groups (mainly default system user groups) in each services has been removed. I would like to restore them back.
I have tried changing it manually in MMC, but the Add option is grayed out. I've also tried using the secedit command to export out the SERVICES on Server A but I can't. When I try to manually copy the secedit.sdb on Server A, i get an error saying that it is used by services.exe. I'm worry that if I stop that services.exe process, Server A may go haywire.
Any idea I can go about doing this? Thanks.

Dads Against Daughter's Dating
If the wrong boy showed up to my house and tried to date, my daughter, I would shoot him in the face with every single gun I can get my hands out.
Like many other fathers out there, I am not too fond of men who want to date my daughter. They have one goal in mind and that's to have her body force their litlte raunchy septer to become soft after release with her body. I know this and they have to know, nothing makes me more happy to shoot bullets than a little horndog.
For this reason, I have formed the Dad's Against Daughters Dating support group. If you are interested in discussing tips and tricks to keep your daughter single please share here and also come join us at the next meeting.
My shirt is dead serious and you better know the facts when visiting my daughter and mine. Now, to lighten the mood, here is Biff (Tom Wilson) from Back to the Future giving some nice warning about what happens if you cross his daughter.
And what would we be without my favorite song.
- Excited
- Fascinated
- Amused
- Shocked
- Sad
- Angry

The macadamia nut is a common allergen, provoking a reaction as mild as a rash in some individuals, but as severe as anaphylaxis and death in others. The FDA states, "The company is strongly advising consumers who have macadamia nut allergies not to consume these mislabeled bars."
Clif Bar & Company is offering coupons to consumers who bought the recalled bars and would like to replace them with nut-free ones. Interested consumers should contact the company online or via phone at 1-888-851-8456 during normal business hours.
This is not the first recall of chocolate products with undeclared or inadequately declared nut ingredients. Consumers interested in staying abreast of FDA-initiated and company-initiated recalls should subscribe to the FDA email distribution list or the FDA RSS feed. Consumers concerned about potential allergen contamination of food products may consider limiting their purchases for food-allergic individuals to items produced in facilities that do not process any of the eight major allergens. Surf Sweets, which makes jelly beans, gummy bears, and other chewy fruit-flavored candies, is one example. Amanda's Own Confections, which makes chocolates such as bunnies and Santas, is another option.

The NBA released its 2014-15 schedule on Wednesday and the Sacramento Kings will open their regular season at home against Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday, Oct. 29.
After a brief two-game homestand to open the season, Sacramento will play 10 of their next 14 games on the road. The Kings hope to enjoy some home cooking when they returned from this long stretch on the road to play 14 of their next 16 at home. In fact, the team won't leave the Golden State from Nov. 30 to Dec. 27. The two road games are in Los Angeles and Oakland.
The longest homestand for Sacramento will be six games (Jan. 7 – 17). The longest road trip will be seven games (March 4 – 14). The Kings have 17 sets of back-to-back games.
Sacramento will be on national television seven times. The Kings will be featured twice on TNT (Nov. 20 and Dec. 11), once on ESPN (Dec. 16) and four times on NBA TV (Dec. 5, Dec. 13, Dec. 27, March 22).
The Kings close the regular season with a pair of games against the Los Angeles Lakers. The home finale is on April 13 and the regular-season finale two days later at the Staples Center.
Here are other notables from the Kings schedule:
- The Kings and their fans get their first look at the defending NBA Champion San Antonio Spurs when they visit Sleep Train Arena on Nov. 15.
- LeBron James, Kevin Love and the new-look Cleveland Cavaliers make their lone appearance to Sacramento on Jan. 11. Reigning NBA MVP Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder make the first of their two Sleep Train appearances on Dec. 16.
- Sacramento fans will get to show their appreciation for Isaiah Thomas when he returns with the Phoenix Suns to Sleep Train on the day after Christmas.
- The longest road trip of the season will take the Kings to San Antonio, Orlando, Miami, Atlanta, Charlotte, Philadelphia and Washington from March 4 – 14.
- The NBA implemented an extended All-Star break this season from Feb. 12 -19. The Kings will have a nine-day break between games.

for All Madagascar rosewood
Local builder, Eric Monrad's guitar of Madagascar rosewood with Moorish embellishment on the heel cap. There are a number of types of Madagascar rosewood. The one we offer is more like the set pictured below.
The above graphic of a tree cross section is an example of the typical Madagascar rosewood tree. Only infrequently do the trees have more than two heavy ink-black lines coursing through a back panel. The trees are small, so the backs are rarely fully quartered (if ever).
There are a few types of Madagascar rosewood here. There's the more figured, Dalbergia baronni, which generally is a little more figured, lighter in weight, and less stiff longitudinally, and there are two types, with less figure, heavier and harder, and stiffer, possibly D. greaveana. Since it seems that there is more demand for the figured type, and we have less of it, we have it marked as "best." The other grades reflect other degrees of quality, including solid pin knots, small pin holes, degree of figure, etc.
These four sets on the first row used to be typical of our better grades.
However, it's getting harder and harder to get top grade material. The best way to get an idea of grading is to go to the Weekly Special to see the current offerings. Prices will give you an idea of what current stock and pricing is like, i.e. a $275 set
will give you an idea of what to expect in a 3A grade. (We suggest buying your sets from the Weekly Special. It's always better if you can choose the set that best meets your needs.)
Note: All sets below have been sold
The above 4 sets represent the better grades, and comprise about 10% of a shipment. These typically sell for $350 and up. (These are thumbnails, click to enlarge.)
The above 4 sets represent the medium grades.
The above 4 sets represent the lower grades.

College Hockey:Quinnipiac Goes Forward With New Arena Plans
HAMDEN, Ct. — Quinnipiac University is going ahead with a $25 million basketball and hockey facility, according to the Hamden (Ct.) Chronicle. The zoning for the project was approved this month by the planning and zoning commission of Hamden. Among the conditions for approval, the school must ensure it will enhance the proposal for the road system around the facility.
The facility, to be built on 240 acres, would consist of a 100,000 square-foot building, holding a 3,000-seat basketball arena and 2,500-seat ice hockey arena. Currently, Quinnipiac's men's and women's hockey teams play at a town facility, the Northford Ice Pavilion.
According to the Chronicle, the arenas would be divided by a common concourse with concession stands. Quoting the school's director of facilities, Joseph Rubertone, the newspaper said the school will begin work on the project in July or August, for a late 2006 completion.
"The facility is designed for who we are and what we are," said QU athletic director Jack McDonald to the Chronicle. "We hope to have a stadium that is filled and generate a good home crowd. We want to be as competitive as possible."
The improved facility is part of Quinnipiac's long-range plan to upgrade the profile of its hockey program. McDonald has long expressed a desire to increase the number of scholarships offered by the program to the full 18 allowed by the NCAA; it is currently limited to the 11 allowed by its conference, Atlantic Hockey.
Quinnipiac is also considered to have its hat in the ring for the current ECAC vacancy. Having a new on-campus facility would enhance its attractiveness to the ECAC.
According to the newspaper, McDonald said he hopes the facility will also attract outside sporting events such as high school championship games.

Local fantasy author D. Wallace Peach and science fiction author Sheron McCartha are scheduled to appear in a joint book-signing event at Jan's Paperbacks in Aloha, Oregon. Both love to talk books...and each is looking forward to meeting and chatting with fans of the SF/F genre. This event takes place Saturday, August 9th, from 1-4 pm.
D. Wallace Peach worked in business many years before going back to school for a Master's Degree in Counseling. Though she has been reading fantasy since childhood, she didn't start writing full time until her move from New England to the Pacific NW three years ago. She has since published three stand-alone fantasy novels through Mockingbird Lane Press: Myths of the Mirror, The Melding of Aeris, and Sunwielder. Book I of her new fantasy series, the Dragon Soul Trilogy, is expected to be out later this year. Diana currently lives and writes in Vernonia, Oregon.
Sheron McCartha graduated from the University of Florida with a Master's Degree in Education with an emphasis on English, speech, and journalism. She taught creative writing and literature for a time at the high school level. She also worked as a banker, stockbroker, and art gallery manager before finally turning her talents to writing full time. Her Alysian Universe series is a fast-paced space opera (with elements of time travel) set on the planet, Alysia. There are currently six books in the series with a seventh, Someone's Clone, due out by the end of the year. Sheron is a resident of Beaverton, Oregon.
Whether you're a fan of science fiction or fantasy or both, there's still time to add a couple of new books to your summer reading list. Just head to Jan's Paperbacks this Saturday afternoon, August 9th. D. Wallace Peach and Sheron McCartha will be on hand from 1-4 pm to talk about their many titles. And if you're already a fan of their work, this is the perfect opportunity to meet them in person!
Jan's Paperbacks, located just outside of Portland, has been open since 1981. The owners pride themselves on supporting the local community and, especially, its writers. The bookstore is located at 18095 SW TV Highway in Aloha, Oregon.

Chuck Jakubchak | Special to The Gazette
Shortly after Gisela Mattingly, along with her husband, Paul, moved to Chippewa Lake in 1986, she decided to do a little gardening at her new home.
She liked the idea of working with the soil and hoped to make her yard a little more appealing. But without formal training, Gisela's early years were trial and error and not every planting was a success.
In addition to her hands-on learning experience, she studied books, read magazines, talked to other gardeners and quickly developed a pair of green thumbs. As her confidence and success grew, so did her flower beds and plant collection.
Today, Mattingly's yard resembles a well-manicured botanical garden. The array of color and her diverse assortment of perennials, annuals and roses are meticulously arranged throughout her yard with a koi pond that serves as the focal point.
Every week different species of plants bloom, providing fresh colors to replace ones that have faded, and her strategy for color progression is well thought out.
Thousands of plants adorn the Mattingly property. Asked about her favorite, Mattingly was quick to reply: "Tulips are my absolute favorite. Nothing is prettier, especially in the spring after a long winter when I am ready to see inspiration flowers and signs of warmer weather."
The Ohio Association of Garden Clubs selects one residential property each year to receive its "Best Garden in the State of Ohio" and Mattingly is expected to be a strong candidate for the 2014 award.
The association will announce its winner in mid-August and Medina County might be able to claim it is home to the best backyard garden in the state.
Mattingly plants about 900 new tulip bulbs each year and carefully peruses catalogs to locate the specific variety she wants and purchases in quantity to get the best value.
But zinnias were Mattingly's first love.
"I started with a plant that I was comfortable with and progressed from there," she said. "If I were to give advice to a new gardener today, I would tell them to start with daylilies.
"They are relatively easy and add a lot of color to any landscape."
Mattingly shares her passion for gardening with her community. She is president of the Briarwood Beach Garden Club in Chippewa Lake. The club recently received a grant from the Willard Stephenson Foundation in Medina and together with the Pride Committee, landscaped a common area in Chippewa Lake.
A bench donated by the Briarwood Garden Club soon will join the new plants, shrubs and fresh mulch in an area of Chippewa Lake that previously had been overgrown.
Under Mattingly's leadership, the Briarwood Beach Garden Club also created a community garden in 2010 so local residents could grow their own vegetables.
Paul Mattingly volunteered to lay out the plots. Garden club members along with their spouses tilled the soil after it had been enriched with local compost.
A garden club member living in nearby Westfield Township donated aged alpaca manure and the organic fertilizer seemed to work magically because plants quickly matured and residents enjoyed home- grown veggies.
Paul Mattingly is the quiet helper behind much of his wife's work. Whether he is dropping off organic plant materials at the composting facility in Westfield Township during the summer or picking up supplies for the garden, he is always there to help.
"My pickup truck is always in use and we don't know what we would do without it," he said.
Maintaining flower beds that resemble a botanical garden is not easy.
Gisela Mattingly said she spends at least six hours a day, seven days a week in the garden from mid-April through early July. She resumes a similar schedule during September and October when the growing season comes to an end.
In winter, the Mattinglys still devote time to their garden — hanging decorative lights to brighten the holiday season. The last time they counted, 12,000 lights illuminated their yard.
Gisela Mattingly said the rewards of having a beautiful garden and green thumbs are many. Neighbors often bring their visiting relatives by to see the yard and other garden clubs routinely stop by the Mattingly residence to admire their work.
The garden also attracts songbirds and hummingbirds and a variety of insects.
But more important than visitors, Gisela Mattingly said, is the personal satisfaction of seeing the results of their hard work and the sense of tranquility the garden brings to their home.

Phew! I survived my first big show! I had so much fun sharing a wee bit of space in Jill Draper's booth a few weekends ago in Chicago. We joined forces to sell our wares at Vogue Knitting Live.
It was a perfect partnership. Jill needed an extra set of knitter hands over the weekend to help answer questions, and I was looking to get my patterns out into the world more, but without the cost of a whole booth to myself. I love Jill's colours and yarn bases. Did you know that she is moving over to having all her base yarns milled just for her in the US? It is just that sort of business that I like to support. The yarn in the basket in the photo below is a mohair/lambswool blend, and the mohair comes from her mom's goats! My patterns were a great compliment to Jill's yarns. We were able to knit a bunch of them up for the show. I can't wait to see what everyone does with them!
In fact, the whole thing went so well that we are planning on doing the whole thing again in New York in January. The only difference is that it will be bigger and better than ever.
Thanks so much for hosting me in your booth Jill!

- FACT: The average American consumes approximately 3000 calories and 229 grams of fat on Thanksgiving Day.
- FACT: There is a way to eat healthy on Thanksgiving, wake up on Friday bloat and hangover-free, and save yourself from a carb-induced coma.
- FACT: If you don't already eat healthy, tomorrow just won't be the day you start.
- FACT: Friday is a new day, a day not just to start eating healthy, but to start working out as well.
Gold's Gym has not only acknowledged these facts, but they're helping you do something about it. This Friday, November 25th, 2011, Gold's Gym is offering Americans the opportunity to take a step in the right direction by opening their doors all across the nation at participating gyms and allowing individuals to visit the gym free of charge—no strings attached. While at the gym, you will be able to test out the specially designed workouts that Gold's has put together as a means helping you not only work off those calories from the day before, but to take a step in the right direction—away from inactivity and gluttony, and towards a healthy weight and active lifestyle.
Gold's Gym and Shape.com have teamed up once again to provide you with 6 workouts designed by celebrity trainers that target every body part affected by your Thanksgiving meal, from your shoulders to your backside. They include the "Turkey Workout" which targets the chest and shoulders, the "Mashed Potatoes Workout" which keeps your backside from looking like mashed potatoes, targeting the glutes and upper legs, the "Cranberry Jelly Workout" which helps you lose your abdominal jelly by working your abs, the "Stuffing Workout" which helps tone your lower back and keep away extra "stuffing", the "Green Bean Casserole Workout" which tones your arms through an intense workout, and the "Slice of Pumpkin Pie Workout" which is a total body workout that helps you get cut like a piece of pie.
Let's be honest. Most people will fall into the "average American" category and consume over 3000 calories this Thanksgiving. In that regard, being "average" has never been more unattractive or destructive to your body. However, you don't have to stay average. Get up on Friday and head out to Gold's Gym and take part in "Trim the fat Friday"; the tools are all there—all you need to do is garner up the motivation to get up and go.

Perhaps more accurately, a couple of site updates and a couple news items for folks to read/watch.
First, the site updates — in keeping with the odometer turning tonight from 2013 to 2014, the 2014 Watchlist is up, and the 2013 Watchlist has been archived. With the downtime afforded by the winter break, I've finally gotten around to adding in the 2013 ballpark visits to Winston-Salem, Kannapolis, Hickory, Greensboro and Durham. Previous visits can be found on the "Road Trips" tab above.
Now, a story to read and a video to watch:
• With the perennial promises of new facilities for the Nats' Low-A and High-A affiliates, it's also a reminder that the minor-league stadium boom has a dark side to it, one that perhaps explains why it's slowed so much and why I'm so pessimistic about it.
• If you've got 18 minutes to kill and can stand baseball slang interspersed with biomechanical jargon, then watch Trevor Bauer's Pitch Design video. If nothing else, you might gain an appreciation of how something can be made very simple or very complex.
2 Responses to "Morning Reading"
been to Greensboro….yawn..
Rather depressing side of minor league baseball. As someone who has ties to the smallest town still with an affiliated baseball team (Batavia), I can appreciate the pressure to spend money you don't have to keep a team.
The Ottawa story leaves out the fact that the weather there rules out full season baseball. May would be the first month you could play there.
