"General Hospital" left fans with plenty of questions and very little answers with the entrance of Donna Mills. So many different story lines are playing out and many of them will eventually meld together. Ric Lansing is back and his relationship with Julian Jerome is beginning to make everyone in Port Charles a little suspicious. According to a March 14 report from We Love Soaps, Alexis and Sonny will team up to figure out the connection between Julian and Ric. This is just the beginning of things to come next week on "General Hospital."
Fans have been waiting for the other shoe to drop in the Britt/Dante/Lulu story line. It is just a matter of time before someone finds out that Lulu is Ben's mom, and it looks like that someone will be Elizabeth. She is still in love with Nikolas and bringing the paternity of Ben to the forefront could end his relationship with Britt. What Elizabeth will do with the information is unknown, but there is a possibility she may keep the secret to herself. One of the biggest secrets fans want to know is the connection between Madeline and Detective West. It looks like her knows Madeline well and is personally connected to the case he is working on. The secret will be revealed early in the upcoming week.
The upcoming weeks will be telling and tie up loose ends that have been hanging around for almost a year now. "General Hospital" fans are ready for Dante and Lulu to have Ben, and for Britt to finally pay for her unforgivable choices. To stay up to date with everything happening in Port Charles, tune into "General Hospital" weekdays on ABC at 1 p.m. CT.

I love the experience of gradually getting to know an new wine region. The more wines I have from Long Island, the more intrigued I am. Many of them are not great, which is typical of emerging wine regions, but every once in a while, you get a wine that shows the promise of a place, and the dedication and hard work of the folks who believe in it.
New York has played host to vineyards for about as long as European's have tried to live there. At first, European vine varieties were planted on the island of Manhattan itself, but settlers quickly realized it was not suited to growing wine. As settlers moved inland they met with more success, but viticulture was still minimal through the early 19th century. Around this time, a nurseryman on Long Island named William Robert Prince convinced folks to try cultivating indigenous varieties of grapes, and vineyard plantings exploded, primarily in the Finger Lakes region, which is still the largest area of wine production in the State.
Long Island has probably had vines on it in small quantities since Prince's time, but up until the eighties there were fewer than 500 acres of vines on the island. Long Island is split into two distinct AVAs and growing regions, the North Fork and the Hamptons, each covering one of the small fingers of land that stretch out from the northeastern tip of the island. These fingers of land which are surrounded by the Long Island Sound, the Peconic Bay, and the Atlantic Ocean are relatively temperate due to the ocean influence, avoiding both the heat spikes and the frost of lower long island and the mainland (though not always avoiding the hurricanes, which can kill vineyards with salt water).
The North Fork of the island has particularly austere soils, and as locals like to brag, a similar microclimate to Bordeaux, though without the variability in weather, making it an easy place to ripen red Bordeaux grapes, which dominate the region. While William Prince may have once cultivated many indigenous varieties of grapes, those are now mostly grown elsewhere, as the folks on Long Island have gradually realized what works (and what sells) for their soil.
Macari Vineyards is a relative newcomer to Long Island, starting in the mid 1990's and opening its doors to the public in the Spring of 1998. Founded by Joseph and Katherine Macari, the winery was conceived as a family operation. Joseph Macari, Jr. now runs the daily operations with his wife Alexandra, with guidance and enthusiasm from his parents. The winery is built on around 400 acres of land that has been in the family for more than four decades, but only recently was put to use as vineyard.
Macari produces about 17,000 cases of wine each year, which is spread thinly among a large portfolio of wines including Bergen Road (it's flagship Bordeaux Blend), a Cabernet Franc, a few Chardonnays, a white Table Wine, a Viognier, a Sauvignon Blanc, a bubbly, a dessert wine, and this Merlot.
Unfortunately specific winemaking details for this merlot were unavailable to me. The wines are made by consulting winemakers in conjunction with the Macari family. Last I knew, both Austrian winemaker Helmut Gangl and Chilean winemaker Paola Valverde were assisting. The wine is given a significant amount of bottle age at the winery before release. As I understand it, the 2001 is the current release.
Full disclosure: I received this wine as a press sample.
Tasting Notes:
An opaque, deep garnet color in the glass, this wine has a fantastically earthen nose of wet dirt, leather, sawdust, and just the barest hints of black fruit aromas. In the mouth it is silky and soft with velvet-plush tannins and a nice acid balance which wraps around a core of dark plum fruit. The finish is moderate and incorporates elements of cedar and the earthiness that characterized the nose. Like other NY Merlots, this is done in a Bordeaux, rather than California, style and is all the more successful and compelling for it. A pleasure to drink now and undoubtedly for years to come.
Food Pairing:
The tannic structure of this wine is soft enough that it doesn't demand red meat, but you could hardly go wrong pairing it with this beef brisket with portobello mushrooms and dried cranberries.
Overall Score: 9/9.5
How Much?: $23

The Hamilton High School National Honor Society (NHS) sponsored a blood drive Nov. 2 that brought in more than 100 donors and enough blood to save the lives of 288 people in local hospitals. The student group's efforts resulted in twice the amount of blood it had expected to donate to the Blood Center of Wisconsin.
"It was quite a success, thanks to the thoughtful people of this community," said Hamilton teacher and NHS advisor Misti Swanson.

Neuropathy and flyingPosted on 11/08/08, 12:28 am
Flying with Neuropathy was so horrible. I flew from South Africa to Australia. I kept on having to take painkillers and I could not walk around the plane because the pain was so horrible. The other problem was that there were seats in front of me and I have got long legs which did not help at all. It took 13 hours to get to Perth Australia, when I got off the plane I could hardly walk. Then we stayed with my brother and his family for 2 weeks before going to Sydney and Melbourne and that was horrible as well, flying again. There are seat that have room for one legs, but everytime we asked for those seats the people behide the desk would say that they can't give those to people with health problems. I think that is very unfair. I hope in a few weeks time that my trip back to South Africa is going to be better, I just going to make sure that I have lots of painkillers and mybe something to make me sleep.
My advice to everyone who has Neuropathy, when you have to fly make sure that you have got lots of painkillers or ask your doctor to give you a injection.

I have the same issues when I fly - I need extra pain meds and know I'm going to be in major flare ups during and after flights.
Reply #2 11/08/08 11:24pm
The last time I flew I used a chair in the airports. It was wonderful. I don't think I would have made it walking.
Reply #3 11/09/08 5:42am
I try not to fly, with all my medication, they would probably arrest me in the airport! ;o) I have been able to get a seat by the emergency exit, last time I flew.
Well just think how nice it will be to be home! That will give you some focus.
Take care,

Thanks everyone. Flying is horrible
Reply #5 11/16/08 7:23pm
Flying is horrible whether you have a medical problem or not. I was on a one hour flight from Los Angeles to Las Vegas and it felt like hours and hours.I also had problems on the train lately. I had to go up to the viewing deck so I could stretch out and walk around every few minutes. I can't even stand being in the car for very long.
Reply #6 11/17/08 7:28am
Yes I agree flying is horrible whether you have a medical problem or not. But then I have alway had a medical problem. So it has alway been very hard for me I can't even get out of my chair because the pain is so bad. I also can't stand being in a car as well I get car sick.

Reply #8 11/26/08 11:39pm
kristin76, that must have been very painful what happen to you. I don't have anything like that, but I do also experiece is very bad earache it is so painful.
Reply #9 11/27/08 3:22am
I just flew from el paso to kansas city on monday and i think the worst part of flying with neuropathy besides not being able to get out of the seats at the end of the flight is when you ask for a wheelchair or help getting on and off and they look at you like nothing is wrong with you. And are very rude to you about it
Reply #10 11/27/08 3:48am
Hi meganK08, What a horrible experience you had with wheelchair assitance, It is not nice when people look at you like there is nothing wrong with you,and then are so rude I really hate that.

A rather aggressive coworker from many years back always greeted me with the line, "What's the Story?" (Yes, he spoke in title case.) This greeting was followed by a critique of my response, which was generally along the lines of "No story today, John." Annoying.
I suppose some of the KU Architecture students whose projects I reviewed yesterday may be thinking of me as I thought of John.
The program for the projects being reviewed consisted of a cultural interpretive center, auditorium, and auxiliary uses to be set in Nicodemus, Kansas. Nicodemus is a virtual ghost town today, with 11, or 14, or 17 current residents depending on which group of students was doing the presentation. But it has a powerful history that derives from one of the great stories of the ongoing evolution of the United States – namely the question of the meaning of human liberty in our nation's laws and culture.
Briefly, the town was settled by freed African-American slaves following the end the Civil War. Established in 1877, it is the oldest and only remaining all-Black town west of the Mississippi. It is now a National Historic Site designated by the National Park Service. It represents a unique aspect of the larger story told by Freedom's Frontier National Heritage Area, of which I am a Trustee.
In other words, the students were challenged to design a building that embodied a powerful, even epic, story.
Of the four groups whose presentations I heard, three made mention of the Nicodemus story by way of background, then described how the various programmatic components were conceived in relation to one another and to the larger site – the usual architectural crit stuff.
All the projects succeeded to varying degrees in resolving the architectural tasks that the students set themselves in their choice of conceptual frameworks. It was heartening to see a high level of design competence in the making.
But only one of four was able to articulate an architectural vision of the historical struggle that created the place and that defines its national significance. That group lead off with a description of a long, underground, uphill path from parking lot to the site culminating in a "light at the end of the tunnel." They described their main organizing axis as a "spine." The forms of their building repeated the motif of upward sloping rooflines gesturing toward the historic town site.
They were the only group that was happy to hear me ask, "What's the Story?"

Destructo Box
Destructo Box!
The Negotiator
Exercise your mind with these challenging negotiation games!
I would like to say, that You are a very talented game designer... However, I would also like to say, that you ruined that image with this game.
So many people died in the V-tech massacre, I went through the reviews and saw everything everyone else put so, I agree with them, and will not repeat. But seriously.. If your mother died, would you be proud to play a game created by some nameless person online about her demise?? Its sick in many ways.
The game itself was done well, but the concept and everything it stands for is completely cold hearted... I will not bash you and call you a bastard, but know, that even I, A CANADIAN am disapointed in the act that you have done with this game. I hold no ties to the USA, but I do realize that losing so many people at once is a tragedy, and as for them being namless to society as living individuals... Thats bull.
Everyone is someone to others, these people had futures and this man took that away from them. It is sad, and very real. This could happen again at any time, and it is truely sad to wonder who will go to what lengths to try and make a mockery of that one.
I hope you realize what anger you have aroused in society. It takes someone with no concept of life and love to do something this irational.
My overall score is a zero... maybe your next game will find better praise from me.
PigPen, you are my idol. I am so glad that someone had the balls to do something so awesome. I think it's funny how people are saying stuff like you should burn in hell, and I'm pretty sure that you think it's funny too.
For all those people who weren't involved in the massacre that are "offended," let me just say this: Besides their family, friends, and professors, no one knew about these people who became victims before the massacre. When the victims were alive, the majority of people in America could care less about them. My point is that the majority of people care more about other people when they're dead instead of being alive. So why start caring now, huh? Worry about your own lives, people. If you want to be sympathetic and compassioniate about the situation, fine. Just stop bitching about other people who don't feel the same way. Only the people who were involved in the massacre have ground to speak. As for the rest of you, shut up!
Honest Review
I'm looking at this game merely objectively:
The graphics were decent for what they were meant to be, so if you don't like the classic 32-bit-ish style, you're not going to be into this game's looks. The game play was pretty basic, but varied, with a combination of stealth and action.
The game really failed to capture the seriousness of the event, and instead, took a comical, humorous stand-point, especially noted by the music, and sound effects of the game.
It's an okay game, wouldn't have gotten the attention it has had it not been on this subject matter.
Old-school pixel-styled gaming fun
I thought this was absolutely hysterical. Not only were the vocal sound effects funny, the details had me rolling from the kids screaming after hearing the gunshots to the cops investigating the school field. At least it had some kind of a challenge to it, but man does he move slow or what? What else can I say? Funny game. People who have a problem with this game need to get a sense of humour. This is no different from making a game about Jack the Ripper.
Nice enough attempt. Some may not approve!
Nice enough attempt for a flash game, good music selection. Theme was a little boring, should have had powerups (nades/autos...a shotty would have been COOL)! Can you make a level where we get to go pig shootin? perhaps lay explosives at the exit of the classrooms? :P

College Station, Texas ?- Arizona men's tennis team finished out their season today, as Arizona's top ranked doubles pair of No. 20 senior Colin O'Grady and junior Roger Matalonga fell to the No. 2 pair of KC Corkery and Sam Warburg, 6-3, 7-6 (5).
Today's match was the third time that these two teams faced each other this year, in which Stanford's pair swept all three matches from the Wildcats.
With their loss today, O'Grady played in his final match as a Arizona Wildcat. O'Grady finishes out his career at Arizona, compiling an 60-55 record on the singles court, in addition to a 61-47 record in doubles, primarily with his current partner Matalonga.

TC TO DAVID LAING ; 8 April 1857; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18570408-TC-DL-01; CL 32: 123-124
Chelsea, 8 April, 1857—
My dear Sir,
Many thanks for all your goodness to me. I received the little Portrait affair1 duly by return of post; a very seasonable help. And a day or two after, there arrived a much more valuable Gift, also right welcome to me, the Fifth Vol. of Knox's Works,—which now make a goodly row on the shelf here; and must be near completion, I should think.2 Except the History of the Reformation,3 which has much attra[c]tion4 even at present, and found me more at leisure for it than the others did, I have got no deliberate study made (as I full surely design) of these utterances of the Great Scottish Man; some cursory skimmings are all I have yet got from them. But certainly it is a real pleasure to me, and I think it a real honour to you, that you sort them up into purity in this manner, and get them all ready for the perusal of mankind. A truly patriotic and pious labour, that, beyond all dispute;—which should not have been neglected so long, but which you still find waiting for you to do it. Therein you stand between Scotland and a great shame; all men must wish you honourably thro' with it. I hope, and indeed confidently expect, you will take care to have a really good Index, and proper elucidations appended (clear statement, done with brevity and exactitude, of the times, the circumstances &c in which these several Treatises & Pamphlets were printed, reprinted; so that everybody that wishes it, to all time coming, may be able to read them with clearness of intelligence, and thank the Editor as he goes along.5
With many thanks on my own score, I remain
Yours always truly /
T. Carlyle

A couple often finds themselves becoming too comfortable, too fast. The spark goes out without you even realizing it and before you know it, you have developed a routine. There is nothing wrong with routine, but why not change things up every once in a while? It doesn't have to be someone's birthday or anniversary, or even that holiday we have all grown to love so much- Valentine's day. Tonight, do something out of the ordinary just because. There's no need to go over the top with anything fancy and ludicrous, but if that's the mood you're in, go for it. But for something a little more laid back calling for minimal work, you can have a nice relaxing night in with the right amount of romance.
Driving home from work tonight, stop at the store and pick up flowers, wine, and oysters. Flowers are not overrated. Spring is in the air and the flowers are in full bloom, so pick some up to liven up your home tonight. Wine always sets the romantic mood without fail; as does champagne. Take your pick. Or pick up the key ingredients for her favorite cocktail and shake it up (pomegranate juice is said to boost testosterone levels).
If oysters are available, grab a dozen. Or two. Scientists say these bivalves are at their prime aphrodisiac quality in the spring time. And white wine pairs nicely with these buttery delicacies. If oysters aren't really your thing, chocolate truffles work just as well; in this case, red wine pairs better. The point is to grab something small to accompany your beverage so that it at least looks like you put some thought and effort into planning this evening.
Go home and tidy up the place a bit so there is no clutter, to provide a more relaxed atmosphere. Light up as many candles as you can find, have the beverages out and ready to go, oysters on a platter, and flowers in a vase. This can be a surprise gesture or not. Even if she is already home, it will be a nice shock to see you walk through the door bearing goodies.
Take this time to relax and enjoy the moment. You see each other so often that you forget you guys haven't actually taken some time in while to sit down and chat about nothing in particular, but just to chat. It's not complicated, not time consuming, not expensive. So do that tonight. And again in a few weeks.

The Bobwhite Quail in Virginia
The Quail Management Assistance Program (QMAP)
In an effort to provide more comprehensive quail management assistance, the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries is starting the Quail Management Assistance Program (QMAP) (application in PDF format on this site). While no additional habitat cost-share is available through QMAP, being a QMAP participant will insure you are updated on available cost-share opportunities. To enroll in QMAP, complete the application provided and follow the instructions. QMAP cooperators will be asked to provide an aerial photograph of their property, an optional e-mail address and GPS coordinates if available. QMAP will help DGIF establish a QMAP listserv for rapid communications with participants. It will also provide a link for like minded landowners to work together. And it will facilitate establishing a quail habitat database, helping track habitat additions as they occur throughout Virginia. QMAP will be structured around the Quail Quilts concept. Similar to how quilts are sown, we envision sowing habitat quilts for the landscape by developing locally lead quail recovery teams. By "sowing" smaller parcels of land together with quail habitat through landowner cooperation, much more can be accomplished than by landowners working alone. We hope you will join our team today.

It finally emerged as a complete redesign of the Soyuz in the late seventies. The Soyuz T introduced a revised Igla rendezvous system and a new service module with unitary translation / attitude control thrusters as part of a single bipropellant system with the main pump-fed engine. Solar panels were reintroduced; the fuel load was increased; and all new digital avionics were developed. Crew safety was improved with a new launch escape system and accommodation was provided for the first time for a three-man crew in spacesuits.
The USSR Defense Ministry issued a requirement for an "Orbital Research Station" (OIS) in March 1967 (reaffirmed in the decree of May 1968). This small station was to operate at an inclination of 51.6 degrees, an altitude of 250-270km, and have a flight duration of 30 days. Kozlov's Kuibyshev Branch of the former OKB-1 delivered a proposal for a Soyuz VI (7K-VI) complex in November 1967. (Not to be confused with the quite different Soyuz VI developed by Kozlov in the 1965-1967 period).
The new Soyuz was called by the OKB the 7K-S, and given the article number 11F732 by the military. The Soyuz-VI (abbreviation for military research) complex would consist of the OIS (with 700 to 1,000 kg of scientific equipment) and the Soyuz 7K-S. The Soyuz would have a crew if two, a probe-drogue docking system and an internal transfer tunnel.
The draft design for the OIS was released on 21 June 1968, followed by that for the 7K-S on 14 October 1968. Drawing release began in 1969. The OIS was cancelled in February 1970 after the start of the Salyut project. The Soyuz 7K-S, however continued in two parallel designs - the base variant, which was for special-purpose solo missions; and a space station transport variant 7K-ST. The revised designs for the 7K-S were completed on 11 August 1972.
The initial Soyuz 7K-S program was to consist of four unmanned, followed by two manned test flights, then two operational launches. Cosmonauts (among them Lyakhov and Voronov ) were assigned to the project in 1973. A State Commission was formed on 21 June 1974 to oversee the flight tests.
The draft design for 7K-ST space station transport version was completed in August 1974.
After the fourth N1 launch failure, a major reorganization of Soviet space enterprises was undertaken. Mishin was fired as head of the former OKB-1. After Kozlov turned down the job, Glushko was made head of a newly formed NPO Energia, combining OKB-1 and Glushko's Energomash engine production OKB. The 7K-S was cancelled; experiments planned for the 7K-S solo flights were transferred to the Salyut program.
Development of the launch escape system for 7K-S had run from 1968 to 1972. The new design was used for Soyuz Apollo-Soyuz Test Project version.
At the time the Soyuz 7K-S was cancelled, one of the uncrewed test vehicles was already at Tyuratam being prepared for launch. The first three were launched unmanned as technology tests - Cosmos 670 (7K-S No.1), Cosmos 772 (7K-S No.2), and Cosmos 869 (7K-S No.3).
The Soyuz 7K-ST transport project continued, except now being redesigned for a crew of three. The revised design for the new version was issued in 1975; and the first Soyuz T flew in 1978 as Cosmos 1001. The basic Soyuz T was adapted in the TM version for use with the Mir space station, and it would continue in use into the 21st Century as the Assured Crew Rescue Vehicle for the International Space Station.

I'm trying to restore my iPhone from backup (because my kid did accidentally deleted an app with a lot of important data). The process could not be completed due to low disk space. I have freed some space and tried again, only to fail again.
Now there is again no disk space left. It seems like the "Restore from Backup..." option in iTunes extracts the backup somewhere on disk, but when it fails, it does not clean up after itself. How can I reclaim this space (on Mac)? How much free space is required to restore 32GB iPhone 4 from backup?

Fear not, seamheads. The list will be here before the weekend.
The turnout the second time around was a little less — 17 vs. 19 — and lot closer. Twenty different hurlers got a vote, with four named on every ballot. No perfect score this time, which was not a surprise. Without further ado, the results in reverse order with points in parentheses:
10. Rafael Martin (14)
9. Danny Rosenbaum (28)
8. Brad Meyers (44)
7. Robbie Ray (68)
6. Alex Meyer (90)
5. Matt Purke (106)
4. Tommy Milone (110)
3. Sammy Solis (114)
2. A.J. Cole (142)
1. Brad Peacock (166)
Others receiving votes: Kylin Turnbull (13), Wirkin Estevez (11), Taylor Jordan, Josh Smoker, Paul Demny, Taylor Hill, Atahualpa Severino, Marcos Frias, Cole Kimball, Pat Lehman
As you've probably already surmised — and the mathmetically inclined, deduced — Peacock, Cole, and Solis were the every-ballot picks; Ray was the fourth. Purke, Milone, and Alex Meyer were named on 16 of 17 ballots. After that, it's scattershot.
Unlike the bats, I think this list shows our biases, Brad Meyers and Rafael Martin in particular. I called out the votes for Turnbull and Estevez because you can see that just one or two more votes would have put them in the list. I voted for "For The Weekend" because he's one of the handful of Nats' teenage pitchers that have pitched north of Viera, but didn't for Turnbull because he's thrown less than a 100 innings since H.S. and the guess is that he'll be used as a reliever not a starter.
Unfortunately, the starter vs. reliever bias is probably hurting Josh Smoker the most, but like favoring youth, it's prospect prejudice that's right more often than it's wrong. I'd have probably voted for Jordan if he'd finished the season at Hagerstown, but fair or not, my inclination is to hold injuries against a pitcher until he proves that he's healthy. And I write that having had some of the problems (back, hip, knee) that come with the pitcher's physique without any of the incipient stress (or talent) of actually throwing a baseball.
Have at it in the comments. The winter meetings start next week and finish with the Rule 5 draft. Yesterday, we got a little touch of the hot stove and let's hope it burns steadily for the next two months.
33 Responses to "The NationalsProspects.com Top 10 Pitchers"
While I am not a regular contributor here, I am a regular reader and I don't study the prospects the way others do, BUT, I am going out on a limb and predicting that R. Martin will pitch in the majors before most of those ahead of him. I realize Peacock and Milone have already reached that level but I have enjoyed watching Martin have success at every level. He doesn't throw hard but it appears he does his job which is keep runners from scoring. Thanks to all of you (especially Sue for increasing my knowledge).
With pitchers, I always assume there's two ways to define someone as a "prospect."
1. they are close to making the major leagues, or
2. they "project" a certain way.
This distinction is important. Who is a better "prospect?" Matthew Purke or Tommy Milone? Milone clearly is closer to making a 25-man major league roster …. but inarguably a healthy Purke has better "stuff" and projects far higher than Milone (who seems like a #5 starter to me).
For me, the projection is more important than the actual, thus I went Purke-Cole-Peacock 1-2-3.
Todd: There are other factors that can be applied to compile prospect lists – 1) Regardless of age, does the player have less than five years of documented Professional experience? 2) What is their 'projection value' (High/Low)? 3) How high have they advanced in the system(s) they've played in? 4) What is the probability that they'll have an impact at the top level, before losing that 5-year window?
I certainly hope Milone is not our fourth best pitching prospect. If he is the Nats are in trouble. Ditto on B. Meyers and Rosenbaum.
As you said, Sue, the pitching choices are a lot more controversial.
It's a question of definition: if you define "prospect" in a way other than where the pitcher's ceiling is, then choosing Milone as the #4 prospect is not a bad thing. Given the numbers that Milone has put up through the minors, the fact that he's no higher than #4 could even be seen as an indication of strength.
I wouldn't say controversial I 'd say the choices are biased.
I had Milone 3rd and don't feel the least bit bad about it. If you watch this guy pitch enough I think you'll see he has it. Topping out at 88-90 has not been a problem for Buehrle or Hamels and I don't think it will be for Milone either. I really hope he makes the club out of ST as our #5 starter
Surprised to see Milone at #4 and Brad Meyers #8 (Ithought both would have washed out a bit higer) and I am also surprised to not see Smoker in the top ten.
Here's my ballot:
Brad Peacock
Tommy Milone
Sammy Solis
AJ Cole
Matt Purke
Robbie Ray
Alex Meyer
Daniel Rosenbaum
Marcos Frias
Brad Meyers
I tended go with production over potential and put the draftees lower than some of the other lists. Smoker was no. 11 for me. It was kind of a pick 'em between Frias, Meyers, and Smoker at the bottom of my list but I went against the reliever.
I'm trusting others on Purke and Meyer. There supposed to be pretty good, but I haven't seen them pitch yet and don't follow college ball at all. I thought Robbie Ray had a pretty good season. I didn't understand the downgrades people had of him. He still played out as a high schooler who seemed to handle A ball pretty well.
Looking forward to seeing what others have to say about the various ballots.
Here my list. I looked at really how close they are to the majors, and what kind of potential they have
1. Brad Peacock
2. A.J. Cole
3. Matt Purke
4. Robbie Ray
5. Alex Meyer
6. Sammy Solis
7. Tom Milone
8. Danny Rosenbaum
9. Wirkin Estevez
10. Rafael Martin(this was a toss up, and I wanted to convince SueD that Martin is a prospect)
Sue an everyone else would Manno be on this list if he was still with us, and how did he stack up against Smoker and Van Allen(leftys)
Sue and everyone else would Manno be on this list if he was still with us, and how did he stack up against Smoker and Van Allen(leftys)
I would have had Manno at 10 on my list
My ballot: Purke, Cole, Peacock, Solis, Meyer, Milone, Ray, Rosenbaum, Turnbull, Meyer, with my hon mentions being Selik, Smoker, Pena, Hansen, Jordan, Grace. Focus on "projectionability.
No Martin; why is he a "prospect" if he's 27 and hasn't made the majors yet?
because he started when he was 24 or 25, and hasnt put up bad numbers in his entire time with the Nationals. I think if it wasnt for his injuries he would have been called-up instead of Mattheus.
I think if it wasnt for his injuries he would have been called-up instead of Mattheus.
Mattheus is far and away the better pitcher. Better velocity and command of his pitches. That was proven when he became the Syracuse AAA closer … he was a shutdown closer in that role. Martin has yet to get past AA ball does not have the same velocity nor repertoire of pitches.
Martin looks like a middle relief guy where as Mattheus can anchor the back of the bullpen and be a closer or setup guy.
Mattheus also suffered an injury and definitely affected his pitching when he came back. Instead of sterling and very promising stats there was some back sliding.
FWIW (not much :-), my top ten of the Nationals' pitching prospects:
(1) Brad Peacock
(2) A.J. Cole
(3) Sammy Solis
(4) Tom Milone
(5) Alex Meyer
(6) Matt Purke
(7) Brad Meyers
(8) Danny Rosenbaum
(9) Kylin Turnbull
(10) Robbie Ray
As you can tell, I value starters over relievers (as everyone should). The only relievers that I even considered were Cole Kimball (the shoulder injury is obviously a factor), Pat Lehman and Rafael Martin. Oh, and Smoker, but him only briefly – I'm definitely at the "show me" stage with the reinvention project. I do factor in how close to ML ready a pitcher is – Meyer and Purke have much more upside than Tom Milone, but Milone has already produced everywhere along his route to his ML debut this year. But it's not determinative – A.J. Cole has won over enough pundits that I take him very seriously, and Sammy Solis was doing well enough even before he had such a strong campaign in the hitter-dominated AFL that I gave both of them the nod over Milone. Meyers is right behind them, with a very impressive walk rate and K/BB ratio but a rather less impressive WHIP. It will be interesting to see whether he can keep the control while bringing the hits down – I have to wonder if he was just unlucky at BABIP to produce the 10.3 H/IP. I like Rosenbaum (whether he is Milone II or Lannan III), but he hasn't gotten quite close enough to the big leagues to push the high profile draftees farther down. I have this feeling about Turnbull; he got some buzz after the draft and Sickels had him as a sleeper pick. It's just enough of a gut feeling to list him ahead of Ray, although Ray was OK in 2011.
I think we can group Tom Milone & Rafael 'beer league' Martin together. They are the exact opposite of sexy, the opposite of a Nook LaRoush type of player.
I'm sorry, doesn't a player have to falter or fail at some level before someone can say they're not so good.
I've been hearing for 3 years now that Milone will falter at the next level. Still hasn't happened yet. Next we'll see that Milone faltered at the All Star Game, and all these people will say, "I knew it all along".
If you can't root for a Rafael Martin type of story, then you need switch your allegiances to a front runner team & be a Yankees fan. 🙂
BTW, it was Eppy "Nuke" LaLoosh. You ended up with what looks like a mashup of Nook Logan / Adam LaRoche / & the aforementioned character.
It's OK, I think we still got it.
Here was my top-10, fwiw…
1) Milone, Tommy
2) Peacock, Brad
3) Cole, AJ
4) Solis, Sammy
5) Purke, Matt
6) Ray, Robbie
7) Meyers, Brad
8) Jordan, Taylor
9) Meyer, Alex
10) Smoker, Josh
thanks guys I hope u r all doing well
I think AJ Cole and Matt Purke are going to be fantastic
I favored the starters as that is what the Nats seem to always need the most of … and too many have been ineffective … of course those are no longer with the team. Sue I am certain is happy to see the age of the prospects at all levels dropping down to where it should be.
I still like who I like and that means guys who have put their time in the Org and worked their way up : Milone, Meyers and Peacock.
1. Brad Peacock
2. Sammy Solis
3. Tommy Milone
4. Bradley Meyers (soon gone I guess)
5. AJ Cole
6. Matt Purke
7. Alex Meyer
8. Dan Rosenbaum
9. Paul Demny
10. Robbie Ray
After reading all these well thought out answers, I'm left to wonder………. Brad Meyers was left off the 40 man but Doug Slaten is still on?
Not sure what the F.O was thinking, but I'll have what they're smoking!
I belive Slaten cant be DFA'd ATM, he will be non-tendered on whatever day non-tenders happen
With Slaten, it's not a question of why not but more a question of when (December 12th, IIRC). Rizzo could be doing him (& his Agent) a favor by carrying him to accrue roster / service time. If he's still on the roster after the end of the Winter Meetings, I'd have to wonder if Rizzo has gone "LH crazy".
Boy oh boy, sure hope you guys are right about Milone,especially you, BinM. If he turns out to be better than Peacock and Cole, for example, I'm sure as heck missing something. I've seen or heard nothing to indicate he's much different from Lannan, a soft thrower who has great minor league stats–a major leaguer, maybe, but no better than a number four on a good staff.
Milone is NOT a Lannan clone, as Lannan walks a ton of people. A better comparison is Milone-Buehrle and Lannan-Rosenbaum
My thoughts on Milone were 1) his 'projection range' is both lower & narrower [#4SP top, MR bottom], and I felt he has a higher probability [90%] of meeting the high end than others on the list, based on numbers to date. Plenty of other prospects project higher, but come with lower probability of success, imo.
As far as the recently drafted guys, I heard Turnbull was less than impressive based on talking with a few of his teammates. Meyer has a high ceiling, but needs more work than some of the others on the list. Purke looked ok but defnitely not worth what we paid him yet. Dupra may be a valuable reliever and I think Monar could be the steal of the draft.

Summer is over.
Bummer, right? No more sun, no more fun. The daily grind awaits.
It's all too easy to fall into that mindset, but I think autumn is great. The weather turns beautifully mild. No more scorching days where lying face down on the tile in the bathroom seems like the right way to spend an afternoon.
And there's something quite wonderful about bundling up with a sweatshirt and a wool beanie and taking a walk with your sweetheart on a brisk fall afternoon.
Making the Change
Transitioning to autumn isn't all that difficult. A great deal of the action takes place in your garage. A simple plan will help you make the switch with ease. The first and most important thing you should do is make two lists:
- What is going into storage?
- What is coming out of storage?
Your Action Plan
Say goodbye to summer gear:
- Gather up all of your warm weather gear – beach chairs, floaty pool noodles, camping equipment, surfboards, etc. – and find a place in the garage where it won't be in the way.
- Summer gear tends to be lightweight, so storing it all up on a high shelf or in the rafters is easy enough to do. You won't need to access it for quite a while, so it's ok to store it behind or under other items that are going to be used frequently in the coming season. Plastic tubs are great for storing things away for months as the secure seal will keep them clean and dry.
Inventory fall and winter equipment:
- Fall and winter gear tends to be a little more heavy duty. Take a survey of your house and yard and figure out what you're going to need in the coming months. Depending on where you live, we could be talking about rakes or possibly snowblowers. Give your equipment a good once-over now so that it's ready when the leaves and snowflakes fall. This shouldn't take you very long, but you'll thank yourself later.
Do an organizing blitz:
- Use your lists to make sure you've got everything in place. Get your family members to help. Aside from a trip to the hardware store for a new rake or getting the snowblower tuned up, none of this should take more than an afternoon.
Loving the change of seasons
The biggest task you undertake, however, might be getting your head screwed on properly. Summer is fantastic, but fall has a myriad of charms that cannot be denied. Make the mental transition and everything else will fall into place perfectly.
Do these tips work for you? How do you organize for fall and winter?
Dan is a Web & Social Media Specialist at California Closets and hopes that one day his music collection will be as organized as his closets.

The son of a former attorney of Rolling Stones members Mick Jagger and Keith Richards is hoping to make feature film about Jagger and Richards' 1967 drug bust. According to a Daily Mail report published on June 1, 2014, actor Nigel Havers (son of the late attorney Sir Michael Havers) will play his father in the movie, which has a script and is seeking financing. Michael Havers was Jagger and Richards' attorney at the time of the drug bust, which resulted in Jagger and Richards spending time in jail, being convicted of the crimes, but eventually avoiding more prison time when a judge threw out their prison sentences.
Nigel Havers told the Daily Mail: "When my father defended Mick and Keith, it was the first major celebrity drugs case. They came to our flat and I got to know them. But I was sworn to secrecy. I couldn't tell my school friends because it would sound as if I was showing off."
When Jagger and Richards were busted for drugs on February 12, 1967, many people suspected it was a set-up by government officials who wanted to make an example out of the Stones. A 2010 report in the Daily Mail confirmed that theory.
The arrests happened during a drug-fueled party at Richards' Redlands home in Sussex, England. What made the police raid suspicious was that a drug dealer named David Sniderman (nicknamed the Acid King, because he distributed large quantities of potent LSD) had been hanging out with the Stones and was at Redlands when the drug bust happened, but Sniderman was never arrested during the incident, even though he reportedly supplied many of the drugs at the party.
The Acid King quickly disappeared after the drug bust (he reportedly left England the next day), and the Stones never had contact with him again. (NOTE: Various reports have spelled the Acid King's last name as Sniderman, Schneiderman or Schneidermann. For the purposes of this article, it is spelled Sniderman because that is how it appears in the Daily Mail report.)
Richards and Marianne Faithfull (Jagger's live-in girlfriend at the time, who was also present during the drug bust, but she wasn't arrested) have gone on the record for years about how they felt about the drug bust, by saying that they believe that police would not have raided the home and made the arrests had it not been for Sniderman's carefully planned betrayal of the Stones.
In exclusive interviews with an ex-girlfriend and a former brother-in-law of Sniderman (who changed his name to David Jove after the drug bust), the Daily Mail reports that Sniderman/Jove admitted to these close confidants that he was an informant recruited by U.K. and U.S. federal government officials to help set up the drug bust, and that the purpose was to target the Rolling Stones and cause legal problems for the band.
Lead singer Jagger and guitarist Richards pleaded not guilty, but they were found guilty in a jury trial. Jagger was sentenced to three months in prison for possession of four amphetamine pills, and Richards was sentenced to 12 months in prison for allowing his home to be used for smoking cannabis. They would both spend less than two days in prison for those convictions before their prison sentences were quickly thrown out on appeal. However, the legal repercussions of being convicted of drug-related crimes would haunt the Stones for years, with Jagger and Richards having difficulties obtaining visas or entry in certain countries.
Robert Fraser, an art dealer who was also arrested at the Redlands bust, pleaded guilty to heroin possession, and he was sentenced to six months in prison. Unlike Jagger and Richards, Fraser was denied bail, and his guilty plea meant that he had to serve his prison sentence.
It has been reported in numerous articles and books about the Rolling Stones that the amphetamine pills found in Jagger's jacket during the raid actually belonged to Faithfull, who had placed the pills in the jacket and forgot about them. Jagger reportedly knew that the pills belonged to Faithfull, but Jagger took the blame, because he felt a drug-related arrest would hurt her career and reputation more than it would hurt his.
According to the Daily Mail, after the drug bust, Sniderman/Jove moved to Los Angeles, where he became a small-time producer and filmmaker. Sniderman/Jove, who died in 2004, was the father of rock violinist Lili Haydn.
Maggie Abbott, a former lover of Sniderman/Jove, whom she says she met in 1983, has come forward to reveal what she says Sniderman/Jove confessed to her about his role in getting members of the Rolling Stones arrested.
"David was a heavy drug user but had a quick wit," Abbott tells the Daily Mail in an article published on October 24, 2010. "He was the perfect choice to infiltrate the Stones. He never showed any remorse for what he did. It was all about how he had been 'the victim.' He was a totally selfish person. Mick had been my friend as well as a client and I thought about trying to persuade David to come clean publicly, but he was always armed with a handgun and I feared that if I gave him away, he'd shoot me."
Abbott, who was a talent agent in the 1960s, also said in the Daily Mail interview that in 1985, she and Faithfull went out to dinner, where Abbott introduced Sniderman/Jove to Faithfull under the name David Jove. Despite the name change, Abbott says that Faithfull immediately recognized the so-called Acid King, and told Abbott not to get involved with him because he was suspected of setting up the Redlands drug bust.
James Weinstock, whose sister Lotus married Sniderman/Jove in 1969, says in an interview with the Daily Mail that Sniderman/Jove told him that he was involved in the Rolling Stones arrest conspiracy so that Sniderman/Jove would avoid being sent to prison after he was caught trying sneak marijuana into the United Kingdom. (Lotus got divorced from Sniderman/Jove around 1987, and she is now deceased.)
"They gave him an ultimatum: he'd get out of prison time if he set up the Stones," says Weinstock, who revealed that Sniderman/Jove told Weinstock that he had committed murder multiple times. Weinstock also says in the interview that Sniderman/Jove claimed to be working with the MI5/MI6 and FBI to help get the Rolling Stones arrested.
George Harrison of the Beatles and his first wife, Pattie Boyd, were at the Redlands party that night, but narrowly escaped arrest because they happened to leave before the police arrived. It's been suggested in most Rolling Stones books and in many articles about the drug bust that government officials were tipped off that Harrison and Boyd were at the Redlands party that evening, and the police waited for the couple to leave, because the cops did not want to arrest a Beatle.
It has been reported in numerous articles and books about the Rolling Stones that the amphetamine pills found in Jagger's jacket during the raid actually belonged to Faithfull, who had placed the pills in the jacket and forgot about them. Jagger reportedly knew that the pills belonged to Faithfull, but Jagger took the blame, because he felt a drug-related arrest would hurt her career and reputation more than it would hurt his.
Although Faithfull has confirmed that at the time of the drug bust, she was naked with a fur rug or bed cover wrapped around her, she has long been dogged by the story that police found her with a Mars candy bar inserted in her genital area. Faithfull and other eyewitnesses to the incident say that the Mars bar story is untrue.
In Richards'2010 memoir "Life," he gives his version of what happened at the Redlands bust. The Times had excerpts from "Life," in which Richards recalls that there were a couple of chocolate bars at the party, and one of them was on a table in front of a sofa were Faithfull was reclining.
Richards says that Faithfull was naked when the cops raided in the home, because she had just taken a bath, and "she was dressed in this fur bedspread that she'd been all day." But Richards insists that it is "a myth" that Faithfull or anyone else at the party was using any chocolate bars as a sex toy on her.
Richards says in the book that he was so high on LSD during the drug bust that he thought the police were identically dressed dwarfs: "very small people wearing dark blue with shiny bits and helmets."
After the arrest, Richards says that he thinks the judge in the case gave him a harsher-than-expected sentence because of an irreverent comment that Richards made during the trial.
When the prosecutor suggested that a young woman should be ashamed to be wearing nothing but a rug among a group of eight men, Richards said in court: "We are not old men. We are not worried about petty morals."
Richards says in his "Life" memoir: "There's two ways the authorities can deal with a perceived challenge. One is to absorb and the other is to nail. They had to leave the Beatles alone because they had already given them medals. We got the nail. It was more serious than I thought. I was in jail because I'd obviously pissed off the authorities. I'm a guitar player in a pop band and I'm being targeted by the British government and its vicious police force, all of which shows me how frightened they are."
Despite all the problems that the Redlands drug bust caused, Richards says that it fueled the outlaw image that made him even more of a hero to many people. "I've been playing up to it ever since."
In 2011, the Simons Wells book "Butterfly on the Wheel: The Great Rolling Stones Drugs Bust" was published. Omnibus Press (the book's publisher) had this description of the book: "Using previously unpublished police and court documents, best-selling author Simon Wells reveals what really happened on the night of the drugs raid as well as the extraordinary conspiracy mounted to end the careers of Jagger and Richards, and how the Establishment widened their net to drag in the Beatles and other rock stars. With fresh interviews with lawyers, police, eye witnesses and those present at the notorious party, Wells reveals the truth about the celebrity pushers, London gangsters, bent cops, corrupt newspapers and dodgy politicians."

I want to be able to directly use the resulting function of rotating a sine function.
My original function is:
f(x) = B * sin(x)
My domain for x is -pi to pi.
My domain for B is -1 to 1.
When I rotate it by theta degrees I have (actually my theta is fixed and is 45 degrees):
x' = cos(theta) * x - sin(theta) * B * sin(x) y' = sin(theta) * x + cos(theta) * B * cos(x)
The problem is now I have a new function depending on x but that has at its source x' and not x anymore. That's not what I need.
If I try to substitute x in the y' function I end up not being able to use my previous x because I can not solve it in a closed form.
Am I missing something here? Is there any mathematical trick to do this job? I have already tried parametric equations to no avail.

To mark the second anniversary of the February 14 Bahraini uprising, Prof Damian McCormack, Prof David Grayson and Tara O'Grady call for a ban on CS gas.
CS gas, 2-chlorobenzylidene malononitrile, is a chemical weapon that is banned in warfare by the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) under the Chemical Weapons Convention, 1993.
However, its misuse as a crowd-control tear gas in peacetime is causing significant mortality and morbidity.
We have retrieved and analysed samples from tear gas canisters used in Bahrain and have unequivocally demonstrated the presence of the CS agent. At least 54 deaths have been attributed to the inappropriate use of this agent in Bahrain alone over the past two years.
It is time for the OPCW and the international community to address the misuse of this chemical weapon.
CS gas was first developed in 1928 by two Americans, Ben Corson and Roger Stoughton, and the toxin was named after their last initials. It is an aerosol of the active agent, 2-chlorobenzylidene malononitrile, and is synthesised by the reaction of 2-chlorobenzaldehyde with malononitrile via the knoevenagel condensation reaction: ClC6H4CHO + H2C(CN)2 → ClC6H4CHC(CN)2 + H2O.
As CS gas is a solid at room temperature, a variety of techniques have been used to make this solid usable as an aerosol:
• Melted and sprayed in the molten form;
• Dissolved in organic solvent;
• CS2 dry powder (CS2 is a siliconised, micro-pulverised form of CS);
• CS from thermal grenades by generation of hot gases.
CS was developed and tested secretly at Porton Down in England in the 1950s. It was used first on British Army servicemen volunteers and continues to be used in low concentrations in military training.
The chemical reacts with moisture on the skin and in the eyes, causing a burning sensation and uncontrollable shutting of the eyes. Effects usually include burning and tearing from the eyes, profuse coughing, exceptional nasal discharge that is full of mucus, burning in the eyelid, nose and throat areas, disorientation, dizziness and restricted breathing. It will also burn the skin where sweaty and/or sunburned. In higher doses, it can also induce severe coughing and vomiting.
Although CS is described as a 'non-lethal weapon for crowd control', many studies have raised doubts about this classification. As well as creating severe pulmonary damage, CS can also significantly damage the heart and liver.
On September 28, 2000, Prof Uwe Heinrich released a commissioned study investigating the use of CS by the FBI at the Branch Davidians' Mount Carmel compound in Waco. He suggested that if no gas masks were used and the occupants were trapped, then, "there is a distinct possibility that this kind of CS exposure can significantly contribute to or even cause lethal effects".
Many reports have associated CS exposure with miscarriages. This is consistent with its reported clastogenic effect (abnormal chromosome change) on mammalian cells.
CS is a cyanide compound and when it is metabolised, cyanide can be detected in human tissue. Also, when exposed to fire, cyanide compounds are undoubtedly released.
According to the United States Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine, CS emits "very toxic fumes" when heated to decomposition, and at specified concentrations CS gas is an immediate danger to life and health. The Center also states that those exposed to CS gas should seek medical attention immediately.
In Israel, CS gas was reported to have been the cause of death of Jawaher Abu Rahmah on December 31, 2010, although the Israeli Defense Forces have questioned the veracity of the report. In Egypt, CS gas was reported to be the cause of death of several protesters near Tahrir Square during the November 2011 protests.
In September 2000, the Guardian newspaper revealed how a UK company, HPP, used legal loopholes to export CS to a private security company in Rwanda, in breach of United Nations sanctions.
The Guardian also reported that CS was previously used by the Hutu militia in Rwanda to flush Tutsis out of buildings before hacking them to death.
Subsequently, Amnesty called for an export ban when the receiving regime is either not fully trained in the use of CS, or has shown usage "contrary to the manufacturer's instructions".
Only five nations have not signed the Chemical Weapons Convention and are therefore unhindered by restrictions on the use of CS gas: Angola, Egypt, North Korea, Somalia, and Syria.
Bahrain is a signatory of the Chemical Weapons Convention and the use of CS gas in Bahrain is subject to specific 'end-user' conditions specified by the manufacturer. However, it seems apparent in Bahrain and elsewhere that these conditions are not enforced, nor indeed enforceable.
Misuse in Bahrain
CS gas has been used extensively by Bahrain's police since the start of the Bahraini uprising. The Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry concluded that Bahrain's police used a disproportionate amount of CS gas when dispersing protests, and that in a number of situations, police fired CS gas into private homes in an "unnecessary and indiscriminate" manner.
In one particular incident witnessed by Commission investigators, police fired "at least four tear gas canisters (each containing six projectiles)… from a short range into the kitchen and living room of a home".
According to opposition activists and families of the deceased, at least 54 persons have died as a result of CS gas since March 25, 2011. Some allegedly died from the impact of the CS gas canister, which is shot at high speed from a modified shotgun. Most are said to have died from the effects of inhaling the gas.
CS gas is regularly used at night to smother villages and is frequently shot directly into houses. Children, the elderly and the disabled who have difficulty escaping from the very high concentrations of the toxin are at greatest risk of death. Pregnant women are suffering miscarriages following exposure to high concentrations of the gas.
Materials and methods
In order to confirm that the authorities in Bahrain were using CS gas and not a simple tear gas (a pepper spray such as OC spray ('Oleoresin Capsicum') or Mace 'Phenacyl chloride' CN spray), samples from several canisters were taken from Bahrain to Trinity College Dublin and analysed.
Five samples, containing 1 to 1.5 grams of green or beige powder, were chosen for analysis. About 500mg of each sample was extracted using cold methanol (20ml) during one hour.
The extract was filtered and evaporated at reduced pressure (bath temperature 40oC) to yield a significant amount of off-white solid that crystallised from solution as the volume was reduced. All of the extracts obtained from the five samples were examined using GC-coupled high-resolution electron-impact mass spectrometry.
Analysis confirmed the presence of a molecular ion with the accurate mass 188.0135, in line with that calculated for C10H5N2Cl. A second, different spectroscopic technique was then applied to confirm a structural diagnosis for this molecule.
The extracts were examined by high-field NMR spectroscopy in CDCl3 solvent and the spectra obtained were compared with published spectra for the CS compound 2-chloro benzylidenemalononitrile.
600MHz 1H NMR spectrum, identical to those published for authentic CS, were obtained. These analyses clearly show that the tear gas canisters used extensively in Bahrain contain the chemical 2-chlorobenzylidene malononitrile, or CS.
Many thousands of used tear gas canisters have been retrieved in Bahrain, and some have external identification markings confirming their source.
More recently, external markings have been illegally removed to deny that possibility. Canisters from manufacturers in the UK, US, Germany and Korea have been identified.
We conclude that the CS agent is being used as a lethal chemical weapon against the civilian population in Bahrain. As such, it is indiscriminate and constitutes a form of collective punishment of the population. We agree with and reiterate the previous call by Amnesty International to ban the export of CS gas to countries and regimes where it is being used as an offensive weapon and as a means of collective punishment.

History Speaks, A Record by Deep Sea Diver. Side band of Jessica Dobson of The Shins.
I've been listening to this album History Speaks a lot lately. I recommend it to the ALT/INDIE fans....and fans of good music crowd ha. It's very well written and dobson has such a great voice and great guitar playing as well. Spotify has the whole cd. These songs are a great start. Let me know what you guys think. A review would be awesome too. I don't think there's been any news on them whatsoever on Sputnik.

Second wave start-ups selling out to competitors
By stephendavis on Oct 20, 2006
Initial Public Offerings or IPOs, whereby private companies choose to raise additional capital from new investors by issuing shares on a listed market (going public) no longer seems to be the preferred route for the recent wave of Internet and technology start-ups. Instead most start-ups have opted to sell out to established competitors either for cash or in exchange for stock options in the acquiring company.
This trend among second wave Internet companies is in contrast to the frenzied rush by dot com start-up some 6-7 years ago, when to some observers many dot coms didn't appear to have (or be concerned about) a sustainable business plan beyond the IPO. The IPO was an end in itself. Most of the talk seemed to be about exit strategies for the founders rather than creating long term profit growth for the new investors.
Recent changes in regulatory controls mainly affecting the firms that advise start-ups has probably dampened the financial industry's appetite for managing IPOs. At the same time, investor interest in new issues has not recovered from the bubble bursting in the spring of 2001.
For the directors and staff of start-ups, selling out to an established firm can have other advantages. In the case of YouTube for example, Google offers considerably more technical expertise and resource to help build the business infrastructure than would be possible from the 60 or so burned-out staff employed by the start-up. Additionally, Google lawyers can start to tackle the tricky issue of copyright and maybe reach agreements with content owners such as the music studios and media companies.

Is Juan Pablo already cheating on the woman he gives the final rose to on the season finale of "The Bachelor"?
Rumor has it that Juan Pablo Galavis chooses Nikki Ferrell at the final rose ceremony, but he does ask her to marry him. His love for women may keep him from settling down if his Instagram photos are any indication.
Galavis constantly posts of photos of himself with beautiful women, including actress Anabelle Blum, who the "Bachelor" writes is "the best girlfriend I have ever had."
'Bachelor' Juan Pablo gets new gig with Rochester Appliance
Best girlfriends from his past aside, Juan Pablo's affection for women, other than his predicted final pick on "The Bachelor", appear to be going beyond the friend zone.
Galavis was recently spotted out on a date at a Miami Heat basketball game, accompanied by singer Mayra Veronica. Celeb Dirty Laundry states that their sources report Galavis and Veronica were "huddled very close at the game" and "definitely looked like they were dating."
Reality Steve spoiler names the next 'Bachelorette' from Juan Pablo's season
Of course, "looked like" is speculation and there is no confirmation from Camp Juan Pablo that he is actually dating anyone, including the predicted "Bachelor" winner, Nikki Ferrell.
Blogger "Reality Steve" Carbone has been wrong in the past, so it is totally possibly that Juan Pablo didn't pick anyone at the final rose ceremony.
Fans love seeing a happy ending, but this season it is difficult to peg who would be a good match for Galavis, other than no one.
Carbone does state that Juan Pablo does not propose to Ferrell on the season finale, but picks her as his girlfriend. If that is true, it's quite possible their relationship has already fizzled and he has moved on to dating women outside of the show.
Chances are, Juan Pablo Galavis did not come on the show to find a wife, but instead to make a name for himself in Hollywood. Hopefully, he keeps his day job and doesn't count on fame and fortune to flourish after the "Bachelor" ends.

Striking Villanueva Library Has Walls Lined with Natural River Rocks
Start Slideshow
- Biblioteca Pública de VillanuevaThe Villanueva Public Library is a stunning example of how local materials can be used to create sustainable and low maintenance buildings. Bogota-based architects, Alejandro Piñol, Germain Ramirez, Miguel Torres, and Carlos Meza, are responsible for the 16,000 square foot public library in Columbia. Former guerrilla fighters from the area worked as part of a rehabilitation program on the library, which is constructed out of locally-sourced river rocks and sustainably harvested pine.1
- Biblioteca Pública de VillanuevaCompleted in 2006, the library is composed of two different volumes made from two different materials.2
- Biblioteca Pública de VillanuevaThe main volume houses the actual library on the first floor and a theater, a children's library, administrative offices, work spaces and bathrooms on the second.3
- Biblioteca Pública de VillanuevaRocks from a a nearby river were used to create the exterior masonry on the main volume.4
- Biblioteca Pública de VillanuevaMetal boxes frame each of the program areas inside this main volume and help promote natural ventilation.5
- Biblioteca Pública de VillanuevaThe second volume is an outdoor public promenade or plaza shaded by a large roof and supported by tall white columns.6
- Biblioteca Pública de VillanuevaThis section of the building is clad in slats of pine wood harvested from a nearby sustainable managed forest.7
- Biblioteca Pública de VillanuevaEx-guerillas, worked on the project through a rehabilitation and training program, which also helped support the local economy.8
- Biblioteca Pública de VillanuevaMaterials were chosen in part to minimize maintenance on the building and ensure that it would remain standing in the intense tropical heat.9
- Biblioteca Pública de VillanuevaThe library is a beautiful example of how local materials and low-tech techniques can result in stunning design and low-tech sustainability.10
- Biblioteca Pública de VillanuevaThe open air plaza is heavily shaded and remains cooler during the day and at night is lit up.11
- Biblioteca Pública de VillanuevaThe simple building is a tribute to the craftsmanship of the area as well as the materials.12

Fall is on its way, and with it, so are our favorite shows! On Tuesday, E! Online released their Spoiler Chat, giving fans the latest scoop on the "Sons of Anarchy" final season and other upcoming programs. EnStars also revealed info on the upcoming season. Spoilers are ahead if you are not caught up with "Sons of Anarchy."
The source spoke with Theo Rossi, who plays Juan Carlos "Juice" Ortiz on "Sons of Anarchy." When E! Online asked the star, "I'm nervous for the final season of 'Sons of Anarchy.' How many of my favorites will be dying?!" Rossi replied, "People are dropping like flies, literally, every two seconds you're like, 'Oh, that person's gone,"
Rossi continues, "There's always a big clap-off it feels, every scene, every episode, somebody's leaving. Oh man, this does not sound good. Run while you can, Juice!
Secrets never stay buried for long, so it's only a matter of time before Jax learns that Gemma is the one who killed his wife Tara. And Juice? Well he and Jax were not exactly the best of friends when Season 6 ended. Not to mention, Juice helped Gemma get away with Tara's murder. Are they both goners?
Charlie Hunnam (Jax) tells EnStars, "Jax is in a very schizophrenic state. He's obviously very sad and vulnerable and kind of broken, but there's a huge amount of vengeance and anger in his heart."
All of this anger and a need for vengeance could get Jax in serious trouble, "He [Jax] can't get away from the fact that the love of his life has been taken from him," he continued.
Season 7, the final season of "Sons of Anarchy," premieres on FX Tuesday, September 9. Stay tune for the latest spoilers and information as we learn it!
