Review Update - Now Working Fine
Reviewed by Rob. Review Posted 23/04/2014
Gigabyte technical support responded promptly and I was able to resolve failure to start and get PC up and running. They actually provide support to individuals in the event that you can't find the answer on the Gigabyte forums. Board quality is superb - much stronger and heavier than any board I'd installed previously. Fits perfectly into the new Corsair case - all securing screws lined up. Dual BIOS useful and there are 3 ways of flashing to install an update. In fact I had more problems installing Win 7 which I now know thinks you are installing a RAID setup if you connect more than 1 HDD prior to operating system installation.

I have a question into Gigabyte tech support. This is a new build. Initially fans repeatedly turned on then off. Spotted it was switching between the 2 Bioses. Turned off standby bios. Fans started and stayed on but impossible to get Bios displayed on my monitor. Resetting CMOS was no use. May have to return as I am likely to end up a MBoard with only 1 working Bios and no standbya and also if I had to clear the CMOS in the future I would end up with a PC that can't be started again. Someone on Tom's Hardware forum has had similar problem. Will update once I hear from Gigabyte.

Md. dig seeks proof of 1st free Black community
Tracy Jenkins, a graduate student in anthropology at the University of Maryland, displays artifacts found during excavation efforts in Easton, Md., as classmate Sabrina Shirazi, right, sifts through soil in hopes of finding evidence that might prove the state was home to the first free African-American community in the nation. (AP Photo/Patrick Semansky) EASTON, Md. (AP) — Archaeology students have been sifting through a little patch of ground on Maryland's Eastern Shore this summer, seeking evidence that it was home to the nation's first free African-American community. Historians say hundreds of free Blacks once lived in the area, while plantations flourished with hundreds of Black slaves not far away. The students from the University of Maryland, College Park, and Morgan State University, an HBCU, have been digging behind what is now the Women's Club of Talbot County. The building, part of which dates to at least 1793, was home to three free non-White residents, according to the 1800 Census.

Take refuge in the numbers that make us all momentarily forget about people half a world away being dressed in garbage bag Batman costumes without the benefit of Joel Schumaker's loving direction:
1. Van Helsing — $54.2 million
Let's not be too impressed by Van Helsing's opening take. Last May, Warner Brothers released Tara Reid Throwing Up Her Champagne Brunch on the same 3,575 screens and did $56 million.
2. Mean Girls — $14 million
Tina Fey didn't direct Mean Girls, so how did it become Tina Fey's movie? She wrote herself a part where she takes off her shirt in front of a room full of teenagers.
3. Man on Fire — $7.9 million
It took Man on Fire grabbing third place for us to realize the only logical explanation: Denzel Washington is actually cleverly disguised hot jailbait.
4. New York Minute — $6.2 million
That the Big Olsen Twins Movie didn't break $10 million is just more proof that tough statutory perv laws do work. Also, we're not quite sure which one of the set is going to be the Corey Feldman and which the Corey Haim, but the process of figuring it out is sure to be magnificent.
5. 13 Going On 30 — $5.5 million
Trying to keep her riding the crest of the enormous teen-buzz wave, Jennifer Garner's agent is having her replace (ex)boyfriend Michael Vartan with a seventh-grade meth addict from Encino High.

The neighbor whose balcony he fell from says he was "a little tipsy," and she only let him onto her balcony so that he could see the climb was impossible.

After an unpleasant interaction with a pair of local youths, a local fisherman called Eagle Police July 8 to report an attempt to vandalize his truck.
The fisherman said he had parked his vehicle on Violet Lane to fish along Brush Creek. While walking along the stream, he saw two teenagers who were carrying two fish. The man said he explained to the youths that the area was a catch and release stream. The man said the youths then "gave him some lip" and left. He told them he would report the incident to the Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife.
When the man returned to his truck, he noted something shiny underneath his front tire. Upon closer inspection, he found a nail had been positioned just in front of the driver's side front tire in a place where it would have punctured the tire if he ran over it. The man told police he didn't know of any suspects other than the two youths. He also noted that his truck was not damaged.
Based on the fisherman's description, the officer contacted a local teen. The youth said he and his cousin had a verbal exchange with a fisherman earlier that day about the catch-and-release issue. He admitted to a "prank" of placing a nail in front of the man's truck tire.
The youth said his companion did not know about the nail and expressed regrets regarding his actions. The fisherman told police he did not want to press charges. The officer proposed a non-criminal resolution to the case - the youth was told to write an essay about what he had learned about respecting other people's property and the dangers associated with deflating a tire. He agreed to complete the assignment and drop off his work at the Eagle Police Department.
An Eagle Police officer was on patrol at Eagle Town Park July 5 when he observed an apparently intoxicated man walking in the area. The man was trying to conceal a bottle of alcohol inside his pants.
The officer learned from a local liquor store that the man had been inside earlier and the liquor store clerk refused to sell to him because he was visibly intoxicated. The man then placed a $50 bill on the counter, took a bottle from the shelf and walked out the door.
The officer contacted the man and asked him to remove the bottle from his pants. The man pulled out a 750 ml bottle of rum.
Noting that the man was unsteady on his feet and had a disheveled appearance, the officer offered to take him to a detox facility. The man replied that he spent the previous night at detox but left because he did not receive medication when he requested it.
The man told the officer he wanted to stop drinking and that he would try detox again. When the officer contacted the local detox facility, the operator said the man had been in detox the previous night but left to go to a bar and then returned and left a second time. She said the facility would not allow him back unless he had his medicine with him. She also said the man's blood alcohol count couldn't be too high if he wanted to return.
The man said he did not have any more medication and his recorded BAC was .403, more than four times the legal limit defined for DUI cases.
The man was transported to Vail Valley Medical Center.
An Eagle area resident called police after someone sprayed mean-spirited graffiti on a trash bin on his property.
The man noted that he is in the process of removing several large, dead or dying trees from his property. He noted while working on the tree removal, several motorists have yelled out their windows to protest about the trees being cut down.
On July 9, the man discovered that someone had spray-painted the word "Murder" on a trash bin at his property. The man said he had no suspects in mind regarding the incident and that the estimated repair was $300.
An Eagle woman contacted police July 10 after a large, loose dog attacked her small poodle/Maltese mix dog.
The woman said her small dog did not appear to be injured in the incident, which happened as she was walking her dog and her yellow Labrador on leashes near the intersection of Mayer and Eagle Ranch Road. The woman said a large dog approached them from behind, picked up the small dog in its mouth and shook it. The owner started screaming and the large dog released the other animal.
The woman said the owner of the large dog showed up when a group of neighbors responded to her screams. The owner of the large dog was very apologetic and sincere, the owner of the small dog said, however she also maintained that the large dog is often on the loose and can be found wandering around the neighborhood alone.
When the officer contacted the owner of the large dog, she was upset about the incident and had already contacted her veterinarian. She offered to pay for any veterinary bills associated with the incident. The owner of the large dog said she had worked late that day and when she arrived home and opened her garage door, her dog bolted out.
The case was referred to Eagle County Animal Services for resolution.
• While patrolling along Sixth and Capitol streets on July 12, an officer noticed graffiti sprayed on a power transformer box. He contacted Holy Cross Energy to report the issue and the estimated cost of repair is $300.
• On July 13, a local man called police to report graffiti sprayed on his trash bin at Sixth and Capitol streets. The man noted he had just painted the trash bin prior to the vandalism and he estimated it would cost $150 to repaint his trash bin.
• Police were called to The Bluffs neighborhood July 7 at 9:30 p.m. when a resident saw a while pickup truck peel around a corner on Bluffs Drive. The resident said the truck continued up Bellyache at a high rate of speed. Officers were unable to track down the vehicle.
• Personnel from the Greater Eagle Fire Department turned in a makeshift paper wallet containing a $10 bill, a bus pass and a blank check to police on July 8. Officers contacted the number on the check and the woman said her daughter had lost the items while attending a program at the fire station.

2007–a great year for growing bad legislation like the ethanol mandate
President Obama, and his administration, has enacted so many foolish and cost-increasing energy policies, it is easy to think that they are his purview alone. But in 2007, Republicans were just as guilty. Seeds were planted and a garden of bad legislation took root in a totally different energy environment. At the time, the growth seemed like something worthy of cultivation. However, what sprouted up more closely resembles a weed that needs to be yanked out.

At-Home Fixes for Skin Care Emergencies
Remedy skin care issues from pimples to bug bites with these homemade herbal and floral recipes
Skip to skin care recipes now.
We called on the expertise of Melinda Joy Miller, author of "Shamanic Gardening: Timeless Techniques for the Modern Sustainable Garden" and Janice Cox, author of "Natural Beauty for All Seasons: 250 Simple Recipes and Gift Giving Ideas for Year-Round Beauty". They share recipes for skin and eye remedies that'll help clear blemishes and zap zits; ones that'll help soothe facial irritation, bring pH balance to the skin, calm insect bites and sunburns, and soothe red, itchy skin; and ones that rejuvenate and condition tired-looking eyes.
In case you weren't blessed with a green thumb, Miller has a tip for you: "The best time of day to pick herbs or flowers is in the early morning just as the sun is coming up. The energy of the day is very high then and the plant is at a rested, healed-by-the-dew state." On the other hand, if you're not a morning person or don't have a garden, you can improvise by picking them up at your local market at your leisure.
And now, here are the at-home fixes for skin care emergencies.

These are all great ideas, but I think some of them are a bit lengthy for a skin emergency. There are faster ways to get things to begin the healing process.

Great tips but some are a little lengthy considering these are for "emergencies."

These all do sound great if you have these things in the house. I often feel like a moisturizer does not have enough moisture in it for me, so I wet my fingers then apply a moisturizer to my face. It feels cool and light and my skin is very soft. I use an Olay Night Cream, but I use it during the day, too.

Since the activity will be held in the summer kitchen of The Castle, seating is limited and reservations should be made by calling 373-4180. Parking is on Fourth or Wooster streets.

On Jan. 20., an article written by Bill Rufty caught my attention, even though it was published in the "Polk News" section of The Ledger at the bottom of page 3. This kind of news should be the headline on page 1 for every reader to notice. What a refreshing story.
It is about Rep. Daniel Webster, R-Orlando. For the second time since being elected to the U.S. Congress he has voluntarily returned his pay raises to the Department of Treasury.
What a great example to be followed by each member of the Congress and the executive and judicial branches.
"Every dollar counts, and getting our fiscal house in order starts with a Congress that lives within his means." These are the words of Rep. Daniel Webster.

Holiday Overview
Holiday Overview
- Reach Uhuru Peak, the true summit of Kilimanjaro
- Includes a vital acclimatisation day at Mawenzi Tarn
- Great Value - Kilimanjaro park fees and all meals included
- Climb one of the worlds `7 Summits`
Climb Kilimanjaro via the remote and relatively quiet Rongai Route. Situated on the north side of Africa's highest mountain our trek starts close to the Tanzania / Kenya border. The Rongai Route is the longest and most scenic trekking route on Kilimanjaro, providing a gradual climb through forest, farmland and open moor, with expansive views northwards to Amboseli. As an aid to acclimatisation, our easy-paced itinerary includes a rest day at the idyllic Mawenzi Tarn Camp, beneath dramatic rock spires. An early start on the last day of our climb should enable us to reach the high point at Uhuru Peak (5895m) in time to see the summit snows illuminated by the golden light of sunrise. Kilimanjaro's prominence (it is one of the world's tallest freestanding mountains) and its lack of technical difficulty, make it an obvious challenge for regular hikers. This exceptional trekking adventure holiday offers the chance to climb kilimanjaro by way of its finest routes - the Rongai Route.
The Secret of our Success on Kilimanjaro
Success on Kilimanjaro is all about acclimatisation. At 5895 metres this is a mountain of Himalayan proportions, but without the opportunity to gradually acclimatise on a walk-in through a region of foothills. A poorly acclimatised person will not cope well with the Kilimanjaro climb and may even become quite ill during the ascent. We know that some companies offer an ascent of Kilimanjaro with just 6 days on the mountain. In our opinion, this at best risks your chance of reaching the highest point in Africa and, at worst, can threaten your health. KE's itinerary includes two nights at 4300 metes and an acclimatisation walk to 4500+ metres before climbing Kilimanjaro. This extra day will make all the difference to your chance of success and also to your enjoyment of the trip. On a 6-day ascent 6 to 8 people out of 10 will reach the summit, most of them having really struggled to get there. On a 7-day ascent with the extra night at Mawenzi Tarn, 9 out of 10 on average will make the summit.
Kilimanjaro Porter Assistance Project
We also make every effort to look after our local crews, who are, of course, fundamental to the success of our Kilimanjaro holidays. KE works with the Kilimanjaro Porter Assistance Project and, in recognition of the quality of care we provide for our local staff, we are listed as a partner on the International Mountain Explorers Connection website.
Still undecided as to which Kilimanjaro trekking holiday is the right one for you?
Check out our expert Kili guide here.
Is this holiday for you?
Kilimanjaro is a big mountain and via the trek route that we have chosen to undertake involves around 4000 metres of ascent in just 5 days. Generally, there are excellent trails to follow, although on the upper part of the route we will have to negotiate some sections of loose scree. There will also be some snow and ice on the crater rim. The very long summit day on Kilimanjaro will provide a test for anyone, as much for the very long descent to the Horombo Camp as for the climb itself.

Drive to Rongai village. Meet local crew and trek onwards to first camp (2600m).
An early start for the scenic drive around Kilimanjaro to reach the village of Rongai on Tanzania's border with Kenya. Our route takes us through Marangu and then due north, through a number of interesting settlements. At Rongai, we complete our Kilimanjaro National Park registration, meet our trek staff and set off on trek. Starting out at an altitude of around 1950 metres, the very pleasant trail winds its way between farmland (maize and potato fields) and pine forest, gaining height steadily. In the forest, the animal that we are most likely to spot is the striking black and white colobus monkey. There are also lots of elephants on the tall-grass covered lower slopes of the north side of Kilimanjaro and we are very likely to meet up with some. After 4 hours trekking, the forest becomes thinner and we set up camp on the edge of the moorland zone and can enjoy excellent views out across the Kenyan plains.

Ascend across open moorland to second camp at Kikelewa Caves (3550m).
A longer day's trekking today, gaining close to 1000 metres. A steady walk in the morning leads to the so-called "Second Cave," where we take lunch in sight of the peak of Kibo and the ice fields on the crater rim. After lunch, we turn off towards the jagged summit of Mawenzi and follow a trail across open moorland to a sheltered valley near Kikelewa Caves. Unusual giant tree-groundsels are the dominant plant species on this part of the route.

Trek via Gilman's Point to Kilimanjaro summit (5895m). Descend to Horombo (3720m).
A very early start as we set off by the light of our head-torches, on a zigzag trail on rough volcanic scree. It is a tough 4 to 5 hour climb of almost 1000 metres .to the crater rim at Gillmans Point (5685m), which is a convenient point to rest and watch the sunrise on Mawenzi. It is a further 3-hour round trip to Uhuru Peak the high point of all Africa. Usually in the early morning, the conditions are clear and there are panoramic views over the crater, to Mawenzi and Mount Meru (4565m), looking very small below us. This part of the route takes us through a moonscape of volcanic rock and remnant glaciers with their impressive ice cliffs. After retracing our path around the crater rim we make a rapid descent to the Kibo Hut (4700m). We have lunch here, before setting off on the long descent to our camp at Horombo (3720m). A long day trekking!

We pass the traditional first camping place on the Marangu Route at the Mandara Huts and continue our descent to the Marangu Gate (1900m). After saying goodbye to our trek crew and picking up our all-important ascent certificates, we transfer to the group hotel where we have the use of shared day rooms to freshen up before transferring to Kilimanjaro Airport where KE Land Only services end (please note, departing flights from Kilimanjaro airport should be booked for departure after 1900hrs).

Park Fees and Permits
The entrance fees and camping fees for the Kilimanjaro National Park form a considerable part of the cost of climbing this peak and are also prone to increase. We include these fees in your holiday price so there are no hidden costs or last minute surprises.
A Typical Day
A typical day starts with an early morning tea served in your tent at about 6 a.m. After a hot breakfast, during which camp will be struck and porters given their loads, we start the days walk. Lunch, at about 11 a.m., usually takes an hour or so and we aim to reach our overnight camp by 3 or 4 p.m. This leaves plenty of time for exploring around camp and for catching up on your diary or for reading. Dinner is served in the mess tent and is a three course meal. This is a great time of day for relaxing and for discussing the events of the trek so far. On some days we will only be walking for 3 to 5 hours, whilst on the longest day to the summit of Kilimanjaro we can expect to have a 12 hour day.
Group Leader & Support Staff
Spending Money
Approximately £200 should be allowed for miscellaneous expenses, including around £70 for porter tips. There will be opportunities to buy soft drinks and beers. Souvenirs can be bought in a number of places, some of which will accept credit cards. If you are intending to buy expensive items, you should budget accordingly. Your travel money should be carried in the form of cash and you should change this into Tanzanian shillings at the airport on arrival. Sterling, Euros and US dollars are all readily exchanged for Tanzanian shillings, but US dollars in small notes can also be used in emergencies where change facilities are not available. Tips to trek staff can be paid either in Tanzanian shillings or in US dollars, or a mix of both. Credit cards can be used to purchase some goods and services.
Guidance on Tipping
Tips are the accepted way of saying thank you to your local guides and porters. They do not form part of their wages. KE always pays local crews the best rates of pay, no matter what country they are in and any tips they receive are seen as a personal thank you from group members. For our part, we advise local teams that tips are not a duty or a prerequisite but are a bonus and entirely dependent on the service that was given. Tipping should be decided and given by the group as a whole rather than from individuals. As a rough guide we suggest a contribution of £70 (in local currency or US dollars) from each group member should provide an appropriate pot to divide between all your guides and support staff.
Baggage Allowance
Your baggage on trek will be carried by porters. The packed weight of your trek bag whilst trekking should be no more than 14kg (33 pounds). It is possible to leave clothes or other items not required on trek at the group hotel. You will also bring a small daypack to carry the things you need during the day.
KE Trek Bag
All KE clients will receive a FREE KE trek bag. These have been specially made to stand up to the rigours of adventure travel. Your KE bag will be posted to you when your trip is guaranteed to run or on receipt of your booking if the trip is already guaranteed. If you have travelled with us before and already have a KE trek bag you can select an alternative free gift in the booking process.
This holiday involves going to very high altitude. During the course of your trip you will be spending at least one night above 4000 metres and/or trekking to 5000 metres or above. This is not something that you should worry about; the human body is quite capable of adapting to a very wide range of altitudes, but it is important that we follow some simple rules in order to acclimatise successfully. Before coming on this holiday you should read the advice on trekking at high altitude. Unless you have previous experience of trekking above 4000 metres you should consult one of our trekking experts before embarking on this holiday. On this trip we carry a portable altitude chamber (PAC-bag) and/or bottled oxygen for use in emergencies.

Group Size and Holiday Status
For each holiday there is a minimum number of participants required to enable it to go ahead. Once the minimum number is reached, the trip status will change from 'Available' to 'Guaranteed to run'. You can check the trip status for each departure in 'Dates and Prices' table. Other than in exceptional circumstances, we will not cancel a trip once it has achieved this guaranteed to run status and so you are free to proceed with your international flight booking and other travel arrangements.
Passport & Visas
A passport with 6 months remaining validity at the end of your stay is generally required. The information that we provide is for UK passport holders. Please check the relevant embassy or consulate for other nationalities. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have the correct travel documents and visas for your holiday. Visa requirements and charges are subject to change without notice. If you are travelling outside the EU you should have at least 2 blank pages in your passport for each country that you visit.
Transit via Kenya
If you are travelling via Kenya to your destination you may also require a visa for Kenya. If you have connecting flights and your baggage has been checked all the way through to your destination you will not need a Kenyan visa.
Visa Tanzania
UK passport holders do require a visa. The visa fee is $50 (single entry) and is obtainable on arrival or prior to departure online at http://www.immigration.go.tz/index1.php . You will require 1 passport photo, and we recommend you travel with 4 passport photos just in case. Payment must be in cash.
USA passport holders do require a visa. The visa fee is $100. It is advised to obtain this prior to departure, full and up to date information can be found online http://travel.state.gov/content/passports/en/country/tanzania.html
Health & Vaccinations
You should contact your doctor or travel clinic to check whether you specific require any vaccinations or other preventive measures. You should be up to date with routine courses and boosters as recommended in the UK e.g. diphtheria-tetanus-polio and measles-mumps-rubella), along with hepatitis A and typhoid. Malarial prophylaxis are required. A certificate of yellow fever vaccination is required if travelling from countries with risk of yellow fever transmission and for travellers having transited for more than 12 hrs through an airport of a country with risk of yellow fever transmission. On holidays to more remote areas you should also have a dentist check up. A good online resource is Travel Health Pro.
Electricity Supply & Plug
We recommend you check if you require an adaptor for your electrical items at:
Preparing For Your Trip
It makes a lot of sense to spend some time before coming on a trekking trip getting some additional exercise. The fitter you are, after all, the more enjoyable you will find the experience. Regular hiking in hill or back country is the best preparation but if this is not possible a weekly exercise regime of jogging, squash or swimming will develop better stamina. Before departure, we suggest that you try to fit in a number of long walks in hilly country. There is little you can do to prepare for the altitude but if you have a good level of fitness this will help.
Know before you go
As a reputable tour operator, KE supports the British Foreign & Commonwealth Offices 'Know before you go' campaign to enable British citizens to prepare for their journeys overseas, and we recommend that all KE travellers take a look at the FCO Travel Advice for their chosen destination on the official FCO website: www.fco.gov.uk. North Americans can also check out the U.S. Department of State website: www.travel.state.gov for essential travel advice and tips.
KE treat the safety and security of all clients as the most important aspect of any trip we organise. We would not run any trip that we did not consider reasonably safe. Should the FCO advise against travel for any reason, we will contact everyone booked to travel to discuss the situation. We receive regular updates direct from the FCO and are in constant touch with our contacts on the ground. If you have any questions about government travel advice, please call our office.
The highland areas of East Africa, including the part of Tanzania which we will be visiting have a pleasant, temperate climate throughout the year with a long rainy season from mid March to June and a second, shorter rainy period from October to late December. The maximum daytime temperatures that we will encounter at the foot of Kilimanjaro at the time of any of our scheduled departures will be around 25- 28C, dropping to 15C at night. At 3000 metres, daytime temperatures are around 15C. Above 4000m, the night-time temperatures will fall below freezing and it will also be no more than 10C during the day, although in the heat of the sun it will feel warmer than this.

PHOENIX -- Which will it be for Brandon Moss?
One-year wonder or the A's first baseman for the next decade?
Those seem to be the likeliest options for Moss, who came out of nowhere last year to help fashion Oakland into the surprise of the 2012 season.
Over the course of the previous five seasons, Moss bounced through three organizations, sat on the bench or was in the minor leagues. He hit all of 15 home runs in 678 at-bats.
Then he knocks on the A's door, spends two months at Triple-A Sacramento and comes to Oakland in June, where he spends the final four months of the season tormenting American League pitching.
In 265 at-bats he crushed 21 homers and, in a first-base platoon with Chris Carter, gave the A's the kind of production that a playoff team needs. From June on, Moss and Carter combined for 37 homers and 91 RBIs.
The A's traded Carter to Houston in the deal that brought versatile infielder Jed Lowrie, gambling that Moss would be a late-blooming boomer and not a flash in the pan.
The A's don't see a short tenure for Moss or they never would have traded Carter. Contrast that to the Phillies, the team that employed Moss in 2011 and endowed him with all of six at-bats. They thought so little of Moss that they granted him free agency, at which point the A's snapped him up.
So it was in the middle of the Oakland run to the A.L. West title in 2012 that a member of the Phillies' front office called a friend, A's broadcaster Ray Fosse, to ask the simple question: "What did A's batting coach Chili Davis do to turn Moss around?"
It was an easy question to answer. Davis let Moss be Moss.
"The first time I saw him, he was crushing the ball at Triple-A," Davis said. "I thought this guy's got a huge future. The next time, he had a really long swing. And the next time he was crushing it again. When I found out that we'd signed him, I couldn't believe it."
The first thing Davis did was to tell Moss, "I really like your swing."
Then he had to convince Moss to like it, too. Half a decade of having big league batting coaches trying to turn Moss into spray-to-all-fields guy had wrecked his natural power. Davis said he saw a guy who crowded the plate and could make that work in a powerful way.
"He's got a natural gift the way he's up close on the plate," Davis said. "Most hitters like me, there are two places a pitcher can beat us, on the outside corner and the inside corner. Brandon's cut that in half. He's so close to the plate that only a perfect pitch can beat him on the inside. I just tried to convince him that for him, there really is no outside corner. If it's outside, then it's probably a ball; let it go."
Moss gobbled up the advice.
"Chili is the first batting coach I've had up here that saw me as a pull hitter," Moss said. "The way I stand on the plate, my natural swing is going to get the ball in the air and pull it.
"I spent a lot of time trying to hit the ball the other way and to hit to all fields. But it didn't quite work. Now I'm at a point where I'm relaxed in the batter's box."
Simply put, Moss is a born pull hitter. Most everything he hits will go from right-center to the right field line. And, yes, there will be strikeouts. There were 90 of them in half a season last year. But the 21 homers, .291 average and 52 RBIs more than offset the strikeouts.
Moss will be as important to the A's as any single player if the club is going to repeat its 2012 success. The club has extra outfielders with the addition of Chris Young and a quality backup at second, third and short in Lowrie. With Carter gone, there is no obvious replacement for Moss.
If things go to plan, they won't need one.
"This is the first time I'm in a spring training camp with a team that is going to give me a chance to be the everyday guy," Moss said.
Somewhere, Joe Charboneau's got to be a little envious.

OAKLAND -- Last December, Daryl Humdy's roommate opened the washing machine in between cycles in their East Oakland home and got a shocker.
Curled in a ball on top of freshly washed clothes was Humdy's soaked and shaken 6-month-old kitten Natasha, who had jumped unnoticed into the machine between loads.
For 40 minutes, the kitten twirled inside the machine, swam to stay afloat and spun in circles. The Siberian Forest cat suffered shock and hypothermia, but survived the catastrophe and this week earned second-place in a nationwide competition honoring the most unusual pet insurance claims of the year.
Natasha, up for the Veterinary Pet Insurance Hambone Award, was one of 11 nominees selected out of a million claims that the Orange County-based company received over the past year.
The annual award, in its fifth year, was named for a dog that ate an entire Thanksgiving ham while stuck in a refrigerator, said VPI spokesman Adam Fell. The award was created to educate the public about unexpected mishaps that befall household pets.
Past winners of the award include Ellie, a Labrador who ate an entire beehive; Lulu, a bulldog who swallowed 15 baby pacifiers, a bottle cap and a piece of a basketball; Harley, a pug that ate, and subsequently passed, more than 100 rocks; and Peanut, a dachshund-terrier mix who survived a fierce squabble with a skunk.
First place this year went to Winnie, a mixed-breed dog from Massachusetts, who wolfed down a two-pound bag of frozen onion rings and survived onion poisoning. As a prize, the pooch's vet in Yarmouth, Mass., received $10,000 through the Veterinary Care Foundation to treat pets whose owners could not otherwise afford treatment.
Back in California's East Bay on Thursday, Natasha's owner recalled the day his cat lost one of her nine lives.
"She had always been very nosy about the washing machine," Humdy said. "She would always peek inside it, but I never thought she would hop in."
He said his roomie was loading laundry and left the lid to the machine open while he went to the next room to grab more clothes. He came back, threw his clothes in and shut the lid without knowing the cat had hopped in. When his roommate went to pull out his laundry and noticed Natasha inside, the kitten was in shock.
"So was my roommate," Humdy recalled. "I'd say she spun around in the cold cycle for about 40 minutes. She was shaking and moaning. I thought she was dying. Her limbs were stiff and I didn't know if anything was broken. I was frightened."
He said his roommate took the cat to a veterinary clinic, where it was diagnosed with severe hypothermia and shock. The kitten was fortunate to escape the ordeal without suffering any other injuries, he said.
"They had a joke going on that because she survived the whole cycle that she was the most pleasant-smelling pet they had ever treated," Humdy said.
The bill totaled more than $1,000 but Humdy had insurance, filed a claim and VPI reimbursed him about 90 percent of the total cost.
Humdy has since moved to a home in Hayward with his girlfriend and his 8-year-old daughter, for whom he bought Natasha. He now keeps a closer eye on the cat.
"I've been much more cautious around the house now," he said. "I'd would hate for her to have to go through something like that again," he said.
But, he said, there is one area of the house he doesn't have to watch closely: the garage.
"That's where the washing machine is," he said. "She won't have anything to do with it."

I've become pretty bad at this.
A month between updating a hockey blog during the stretch run of the season is no way to operate, and it's also a good way to alienate both of your loyal readers. I apologize to you, Cregg and Karen. You guys are our biggest fans. (Cregg and Karen are my parents and if they actually have ever figured out how to stumble across this site without setting the house on fire, well, it's not possible so I hope my childhood home is still intact.)
I haven't balanced the working life with the writing life. I'm not going to say I've been too busy, because we all are, but during the non-busy times I haven't had the slightest desire to write anything. This sounds familiar. I think I might've said something like this 6 months ago..........
no -- I think that was Scott Niedermayer. Might have even been Rob Niedermayer. Whatever. Point is, I'm just letting you know that we're moving onto other stuff now from daily (haha) writing, so, thanks for reading. We might still post videos or something, but my main point here is that TTD is on my back burner and I'm putting my imaginary blogging pen down.
It's been real. We appreciate every nice thing that any of you have said to us personally or about the site. Three years ago I started this site thinking that I had a lot of shit to say and that I liked to write, but subconsciously it was probably because there was a missing connection with bat-shit crazy Wings fans from my real life. Over the following three years, I never would have expected to make dozens of new friends with people that were just as awkwardly insane about Red Wings hockey as myself. In fact that would be a ridiculous thing to expect, which is why you people are so cool. I consider many of you to be more than just 21st century pen pals. This has been above and beyond anything I would have imagined.
You can still catch us on Twitter @TheTripleDeke, @TheDecentGatsby, and @AstRegionalMngr. And eventually more videos will be added to our YouTube channel. Until next time, adios everybody. We'll be in the lounge with Kyle from Babcock's Death Stare.

My new Active Directory Provider is not Working!
By Luz Mestre-Oracle on Feb 26, 2014
After added Active Directory Provider, Users and Groups are listed in Admin Console:
Security Realms -> My Realm -> Users and Groups.
When attempting to login to an application that is using the users, the login is being denied, and you might not see any clues in weblogic server logs.
If you enable Atn debug, the following is observed in server log:
<Debug> <SecurityAtn> <MyDomain> <AdminServer> <[ACTIVE] ExecuteThread: '3' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)' for workmanager: consoleapp@null@consoleWorkManager> <<WLS Kernel>> <> <593625378f0917fe:-23dcaa48:143ea3e7180:-8000-0000000000000400> <1391205135889> <BEA-000000> <weblogic.security.service.internal.WLSJAASLoginServiceImpl$ServiceImpl.authenticate authenticate failed for user MyUser>
This can occur when default authenticator is selected as REQUIRED by default. So the login process is denied by the default authenticator due to it is not aware of users in Active Directory.
So, to fix the issue
1. Go to Admin Console > Security Realms > <Your Realm> >Providers.
2. Make Active Directory provider is in the top of the list and set Control Flag SUFFICIENT.
3. Make default authenticator Control Flag is set to OPTIONAL.
You can read more in this My Oracle Support document:
How to Configure Active Directory as the LDAP Provider for WebLogic Server (Doc ID 1299072.1)

Health experts at Sparrow Hospital say it's an illness they treat year-round, but they are seeing more cases of strep throat.
While more cases seem to occur in the fall as kids head back to school, some cases are popping up around the winter months. Doctors recommend people be aware of the symptoms: a severe throat with a fever. The earlier someone sees a doctor and gets antibiotics, the less likely they are to spread the illness.
"Someone is considered not contagious 48 hours after they've been given antibiotics," Dr. Randy Pearson says.

OAKLAND -- The A's finally got revenge for Game 5 of last year's American League Division Series, when Justin Verlander shut them out at the Coliseum to end their season.
Oakland didn't beat Verlander in this game -- Verlander wound up with a no-decision -- but the A's managed to outlast him, thanks to rookie Sonny Gray matching the Detroit star pitch for pitch and lasting one inning more.
Verlander was almost as good as he was last year, tossing seven shutout innings, allowing four hits, walking one and striking out 11. But by the end of the seventh, he'd thrown 117 pitches, including a 10-pitch battle with catcher Stephen Vogt that ended his night.
"These guys have a propensity to foul off pitches, work pitch counts and get pitch counts up really high," Verlander said of the A's. "That last at-bat with Vogt, I think that put the nail in the coffin. If that was a one- or two-pitch out, I might have been able to go back in for the eighth."
The Tigers lost nine of Verlander's final 10 starts in the regular season and now have lost his first one in the postseason. But he wasn't sounding distraught afterward.
"I had pretty good stuff," he said.
Counting his last two regular-season starts and this one, Verlander has thrown 19 consecutive scoreless innings, walked five and struck out 33.
Verlander passed Gray in the hallway as he was heading to the postgame interview room and the two pitchers exchanged friendly words.
"I just told him he did a good job," Verlander said.
Once he got to the interview room, he had nothing but high praise for the rookie right-hander.
"He was able to use his angst and energy for a positive. A lot of young guys, it works against them," Verlander said. "That's why veterans seem to do better in postseason pressure. But he handled himself like a veteran and it was impressive."
"He seemed to get stronger as the game went on," said A's reliever Sean Doolittle. "For awhile there, down in the bullpen, we were so into what he was doing and just enjoying watching those two guys go toe-to-toe, it was like, 'Oh, we might have to get ready here.'"
"I hit a walk-off homer in college," said Vogt, who attended Azusa Pacific. "We beat Concordia University of Irvine. But it was nowhere near this."
Barton had a tough Game 1, striking out in all three at-bats and having two ground balls get by him at first base. The first of those led to Detroit's third run in a 3-2 Oakland loss.
Manager Bob Melvin said the move was more about getting Smith in the lineup than it was about Barton's play.
"I'd been thinking about it before the series started," Melvin said. "If Barton had gone 4 for 4, that might have changed things, but coming in, I wanted to get Smitty into the lineup.''
Barton was 2 for 14 with four walks in his career against Verlander. Smith was 2 for 15 with six walks and a homer against the A.L.'s 2011 Cy Young Award winner.
"We went into the game thinking this is one guy we really have to contain," Leyland said. "In a one-run game, we were probably lucky. We're going to have to keep off the bases a little better if we want to move on."
