Rated 3.8 out of 5�by 9 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5�by Jess1234 broke day 1 Bought this for my boyfriend since his last collapsible pole broke and I thought I'd give this one a chance. Big mistake. It broke the first time he took it out to use it. I normally don't review products but I just wanted to save everyone else the headache of buying this. April 17, 2016
Rated 1 out of 5�by disappointed DO NOT BUY!!!! I would give this a zero if I could! I used this for about 10 cast with just a light jig and the pole broke, I've been fishing well over 35 years and know how to cast. Terrible terrible product, I would not recommend this to anyone. Read the reviews and you will see this has happened to others, avoid and I would recommend Dicks to not sale this October 1, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5�by Gina Shakespeare Travel Mate 6' Rod & Reel Kit At first sight I loved it! Great Case - Good looking Rod - Nice smooth Reel. This rod was easy to put together. The reel attachments parts were plastic but seemed to do the trick. Then, I took it out fishing for the second time and finally caught a 2 lb White Bass. The rod broke! - Enough said. no refunds :( July 30, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by JAK76 Great Great item, been looking for a collapsible pole over 4' for awhile. This combo is a great value quality. July 2, 2015

Rated 5 out of 5�by Donnie19 Perfect fishing gear for your trunk I bought one for my son and like his so much that I bought one for myself. I'll keep it in the car - for spontaneous fishing opportunities. I'll also use it from my kayak. November 13, 2014

Okay, so we're going to fill in stroke.ai file which you can find in the working with Selections folder. Now, I've got a few tips for you here. This drawing is clearly not finished, but it's at a stage where I want to start adding color so that I can see the depth, get a idea of what it's going to look like at the finished state before I do any finishing off detail. Now, the first thing that I'm going to do is switch off the template layer in the background, and you can see that some of the shapes that I've drawn are transparent and some of them are opaque. Some are filled with white.
Now, the reason you'll end up with quite a lot of white shapes with black strokes is cuz that's the default setting for most of the tools in Illustrator. And if you're like me, you can't be bothered changing the settings. So, you just start drawing and then you worry about it later. And I've found that a good tip is, if you tend to do that, you'll run into all sorts of problems when you start coloring items because if, for example, I select his body and I color it red. Now, I'm going to jump to a different workspace very quickly to open up my color palettes, and the easiest way to do that is go to Workspace Painting. Now, you can also go to that through this menu here. I'm just old fashioned and go up to the main menu. And that opens all of my color palettes for me, which provide all these lovely choices of how to adjust my colors.
So, if I choose a nice deep red and we zoom in, you'll notice that we have these strokes in there and there actually filled with white. So, you start to run into all these problems. So, what I tend to do is, before I even start coloring my artwork, I just do a quick Select All and Remove Fill so that I've got completely open paths to work with. Now, this is where your two views come in handy. Here, I'm on transparent background, and I don't really want to remove that. I just want to be able to quickly jump between filled background and a transparent background. Let me just zoom out.
It's in Command Minus there. Now, you'll notice that in this view, I've removed the template. And even though it's the same file in this view, it's still showing the template. So, I'm going to go down and remove the template. And now, I can see it on a nice white background. I can see what I really have to deal with. Now, the first thing I'm going to do is select his belly again and color it red. So, a nice red t-shirt. I'm also going to choose to color his trousers, as we called them in the UK. I think in the US, you tend to call them pants, but we call them trousers. So, I'm going to color that leg blue.
Now, as I select that color of blue, it's not really right for a pair of jeans, and that's what I want these to look like. I want these to look like jeans. But you'll notice my color guide is giving me a nice selection of shades and tints that I can choose from. So, I can choose something that looks much more like denim. I, one of these desaturated blues here. And if I need to adjust that, I can come up to my color pallet and I can adjust maybe the brightness and the saturation a little bit, just to get more a kin to what I'm looking for. Now, if I want to, I can also choose the color mode. I can choose RGB, grey scale, any of the, if I choose RGB, I get red, green and blue slider.
But generally, I find HSB easier because I can adjust the saturation and the brightness separately. So, there we have his jeans. I also want to choose a complementary color for the cuff of his jeans, or as we call it in the UK, his turn ups. And I can do that also using the color guide to choose a different shade of the same color to color that. Now, his other leg, I don't need to go through that whole process again. What I can do is select his other leg and just use the Eyedropper tool to color from there to there. And then, I'm going to toggle to the Selection tool using the Command key or Control key on PC, and I"m going to sample that blue from there. So very quickly, I've colored both of his legs.
Now, let's do his skin tones. Now for skin tones, I really recommend opening up a new Swatch Library. And you do that by going to the Swatches panel, clicking on the Wing menu, and going to Open Swatch Library. And here we go. One specifically for skin tones. Now, I'm going to leave this floating here and I'm just going to select his head and choose a fairly light skin tone for his head. I'm then going to select his arm. Now obviously, I can select both of those in one click, that's not too bad. And I can select a slightly different color of skin tone for that arm. But if we have a look at the left arm, it's made up of lots of different parts. So, rather than select it there, what I'm going to do is go to the lower right arm, hold down Shift and hit the right upper arm.
Of course, it's the left one I need. Always make mistakes. So, let's choose the left upper arm and the left lower arm. And let's steal the color from that arm. Okay. Now, the only one to do that color is the neck, which is in somewhere. Okay. When you see it highlighted, that means that you can click to select it. It's quite tricky, so I'm going to zoom in a little bit more so that I can make that selection a bit easier. So, select that and I know that, that's the right color there. So, you can see that once I start adding color, it gives the character a little bit more depth and allow me to start moving towards creating a finished character.
Okay, so one other thing to do, and that's to work on the face a little bit more. I can give the face a little bit more definition by adjusting the fills and the strokes of various elements. Now, the first thing that I'm going to do is I'm going to select elements like the nostrils and the ears. Okay, and I'm going to select the lines inside the ears and the nostrils. And I'm just going to fill them with black, or I could choose a dark gray even, just to give it a little more shading. Now, I think the inside of the ears is a little bit too OTT so I'm going to select those and just remove the shadow from there.
I just decided that that's a little bit too heavy. So, there we have a little bit more definition in the nostrils and the ears. In fact, I don't like the ears so I'm going to just remove that from them altogether. Okay, notice that because I've made a selection of multiple fills that it has a question mark on it. That means that there's no one fill for all the selected elements. There's a mixture of different fills. If I click on this, they've now all got zero fill. Now, the other thing that I'm going to do is just go up to the eyes and have a look at the eyeballs. Now, at the moment, the lines are both stroked, so I have an inner line and an outer line.
This one, I'm going to reverse. So, I'm going to have a black fill and and zero stroke. So, by clicking this little arrow, I can swap the fill in stroke and create the effect I want. I'm going to do the same with this one, swap them around. But this time, before I swap them around, what I'm going to do is choose a color for the eye. So, I want that color for the eye, okay? So, I'm going to choose a nice deep green. In fact, I'm going to just go for a slightly less saturated one, and darker one. So there we go. And instead of just swapping it, what I'm going to do is bring the stroke to the front and then just remove it.
Okay, we'll do that with the other eye. Move across here. Again, all I do is swap these. So I've got a fill, a stroke, and no fill. Then I'm going to select the outer one, and I'm going to remove the stroke, bring this fill swatch to the front and just fill that with a color. And again, if I want exactly the same color as this one, I can use the Eyedropper tool just to select that. Okay, so we zoom out and we have a much more finished looking character. Ready to start tweaking and adding detail to finish off.

I just upgraded my SmoothSlider plugin after about a year and my posts weren't showing up. I contacted them via their website and within 5 minutes had an email correspondence going. I had to give them access to my site where they updated something, and everything seemed to be working again. Very good support.
I like this slider a lot, since it's very easy to set up and use, and they keep improving it, making it easier to arrange the order of items, for example.

HDR, GameWorks, GameWorks Expert Developer
As you may have read in our last post, there are several things that you may want to do to provide a great HDR experience from your game. To help demonstrate these things, we went and plumbed them into the Unreal Engine. This is all available on GitHub right now for those with UE4 access.

Need cutting edge gaming performance in a laptop? Our GeForce GTX 10 Series notebooks use the revolutionary PASCAL architecture and are rated as
VR Ready. This means you get the performance needed to develop and run AAA content including applications for Virtual Reality.

Continuing our series on HDR color in games, we'll start this post with the simple truth. There is no one correct way to do things. However, we do have advice on things that do work well and things that don't. The first concern is obviously whether your game is rendering with HDR internally today. Since most PC games are, we'll consider this a pretty safe bet. Beyond this are the more subtle challenges we'll tackle in this post.

and June. I called the listed phone number (866-405-7356), receiving an automated message which allowed me to cancel the program, and it gave me a long verification number read off so quickly I didn't get it all. I then went
to the order form where you can click "email" to send a message. I did this to request written confirmation of the number and the cancellation.
I have never heard of Blair Rewards so I checked my catalog's information pages but saw nothing about it. I then called customer services (800-458-6057) and asked: What is Blair Rewards and what prompts entry into the program? A customer service representative told me that on-line orders bring up the offer to enroll. On the order form you must click on the box to accept the offer, then enter your phone number. Once enrolled you get a 30-day trial for $1.95 and receive a booklet detailing rewards which are price reductions for various things such as movies or restaurant meals. After the first 30 days automatic monthly charges of $14.95 kick in.
I then went on line to read the order form. There is no mention of Blair Rewards any where. The only thing I noticed was a checked circle for signing up to receive e-mails or special offers and promotions; it must be unchecked to decline this offer and is easy to overlook at the bottom of the order form. I hate getting vendor e-mails and would have never knowingly accepted this offer. If this is how peole are secretly inducted into the Blair Rewards program, it is certainly a well-hidden scam.

Cngratulation longs. Excellent day. As for Cramer, here is what he said about SODA before the market open today "C Cramer's favorite in-home soda maker reports. Cramer said while Sodastream is still a speculation, it could be big." He has never been sure about SODA. Be interesting to see what he has to say tonight.
EFF that u must be a rookie. Cramer is going to have the CEO on tonight, and after he's on the stock goes up....and then over the coming days it loses $10/per shrs, it's called the Cramer effect!

Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
Cubs break their 6-game losing streak on the strength of Maholm's pitching and a 2-out, 4-run rally in the 2nd. In the minors, Iowa loses 12-7. Sappelt goes yard, Rizzo goes 2/5 with 3 RBI's, Jackson 2/5 with a double and a K. Coleman pitched well enough, 6 IP, 2 ER and 7 K but 4 BB's. The bullpen blew up though, Corpas and Beliveau giving up 9 runs in 2 innings. It got so bad that Blake Lalli and Alfredo Amezaga had to finish the game. Tennessee won 4-2, N. Struck with the win (5 IP, 1 ER, 3 BB, 5 K). Antigua with 3 scoreless innings out of the pen and Hatley with a scoreless inning for the save. Ha (3/4), Ridling (2/3), Wright (2/3) provided most of the offense. Daytona won 13-2, Jokisch gets the win (5.2 IP/2 ER/3 BB/2 K). 5 doubles, 1 triple and a home run (Nelson Perez) were part of the offensive explosion. Peoria lost 2-1, but can't blame starting pitcher Michael Jensen who went 7 IP, 2 unearned runs, 1 BB, and 6 K.

Arizona Phil can of course explain this better, but Wells takes the roster spot of Marlon Byrd for today and I believe Michael Bowden is in some sort of outright waiver limbo that should be taken care of shortly. Bowden is out of options.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
I don't disagree with the philosophy at all, but for consistency's sake they better send Campana and his < 300 AAA AB's back down, then.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
Campana could be useful as a league minimum player if he didn't strike out so much.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
For Randy Wells at Wrigley during the day, it's downright masterful.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
Hell if I know, but his 2009-11 day/night ERA splits are 4.65/3.39. Some people just aren't "morning" people.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
That's not particularly dramatic. A lot of hitters say they prefer to hit during the day because they can see better anyway.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
League-average, probably not a huge difference.
Again, I'm not saying Wells is a lush, just that he actually does perform notably better at night.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
from the scuttlebutt here in chicago, he was farnsworthian partier
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
reds try to give the cubs two outs, cubs politely refuse
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
The more things change the more they stay the same. Cubs went into today 26th in BB drawn and 5th in BB given up. Today's game only increases the spread.
By the way, could Soriano be more of a void in the middle of the line-up?
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
Why does Sveum think that LaHair is a hitter that you double-switch out of the lineup? Lately he's the most productive hitter on the team and it's entirely possible he could end up leading the team in OPS. Campana, DeWitt, and Soriano are your double-switch guys today, Sveum. Now you don't have your best power hitter for the rest of this game that you are losing, and instead you have Mather in there batting behind guys who couldn't buy their way on base lately and the pitcher's spot following the top of your lineup.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
looks like the cubs might need a bird/noise cannon for the OF as the season drags on.
there's about 2-3 dozen birds sitting in the OF waiting for that giant piece of popcorn the pitcher keeps throwing to the crouching dude.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
Walmart BB gun day. First 10,000 fans get a long range BB gun rifle.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
they better do it while they can still get 10K into the park.
im actually kinda surprised they're still putting 30K in the park for games.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
im actually kinda surprised they're still putting 30K in the park for games.
that stat is tickets sold when they announce attendance around the 8th inning.
I was there friday and sunday (ouch, nothing like two losing games of mid 40's baseball with the wind blowing in from LF). Didn't go saturday, needed a day to thaw out.
Headcount of fans in the stands was closer to 18-20K max.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
From what little I saw of today's game, there were lots of empty seats, and it was middle innings.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
Ted Williams took care of pigeons in the OF at Fenway with a shotgun. Different time.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
16 games into the season...8 games out of .500...tied for last in all of MLB with SD.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
...and SD wins giving the cubs sole control of last place.
that's not as much of a big deal to me this early compared to the 8 games out of .500, though...ow.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
Lefty Chris Rusin pitched 8 innings of 2 hit, no walk (4K) baseball and the I-Cubs beat the Memphis Redbirds 2-1 in Iowa. Broke a 5 game losing streak.
Rizzo 1-3, a run scored and a walk
WCastillo 1-4 and a rbi
Cardenas, 2-2 and a walk
BJax 0-4, now down to .239. He's leading off now that Campana is up.
My AHA moment...
Well, none of you told me that HoyStein's Big Picture Plan is to have the team finish dead last so that we can get the #1 draft choice in 2013.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
Well they did say that this year the plan was to "field a team that will compete (for the number 1 draft pick)".
the last part was a fill in the blank.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
Allowing the most runs in the NL is a pretty quick recipe for losing. Only BOS and MIN have allowed more.
Hard to believe, but this team is actually 9th in the NL in runs scored so far.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
This looks like a below-average lineup, but not a piss-pour lineup (unless Stewart and LaHair become useless or something along those lines). It's the rotation and a few bullpen arms that have the potential to move the team out of the cellar or way down into it.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
So far I'm not very impressed with them. It's awfully early to judge the front office, but I don't like giving up on a season so early, and I have definitely done that. I realize they were given a pretty horrific situation, but they also haven't made any trades that have opened my eyes. The things that are going wrong are already starting to pile up:
Travis Wood for Marshall looks like a dud, so now the success of the trade looks to be depending on how Torreyes pans out. They appeared to be favorites to land Cespedes, but lost him to a small market team that may not even be in that small market in a few years. It doesn't matter to me why they lost him, just that they did. He's doing pretty well so far in Oakland - we'll see how a second trip around the league treats him, though. Crunch looks to be spot on with Ian Stewart. The guy really just doesn't seem to be a very good hitter at all, although he is a pretty slick fielder. I can't tell about Sveum yet, but he's inconsistent with his "performance" claim, leaving Soriano in the middle of the lineup, leaving Soto in for Clevenger and his daily doubles.
I tend to agree with them that there is no real reason to bring up Jackson and/or Rizzo right now, but partly that's because this team is so God Awful that there simply is no point. They'll have no impact.
It would be fair to ask what I expected from these guys, given the circumstances. I guess I would say at least a decent trade, since you can't do much with the minors yet but wait. Landing a decent free agent would have been nice, too. These are the things they're paid to do. This is a big market team with a nearly furious fan base. There's a real call to action here. I don't really sense any urgency on their part.
A lot of this is my frustration at knowing I've got yet another year of watching bad baseball. Or, not watching it, actually, in my case. As I get older in life, I find myself turning into a bit of a fair weather fan. I've really got better things to do that watch a crappy product on the field. I don't sit around the house watching B movies, and I don't sit around watching minor league teams disguised as major league ones.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
I was going to tell you, "Wait O & B! Their starting pitching has been very good. If they could only hit!"
Then I looked it up.
14/16 in the NL, 4.74 Team ERA
"Well, what about fielding, then? With the Cubs Way, surely they are helping the pitchers out, right?"
Next to last in the NL with 16 errors (last today is a tie with the two NL Sans' - Diego/Francisco)
Just a big pile of shit. And, selfishly, I would like to look forward to seeing SOMETHING at Wrigley when I go other than Joe Mather, Chris Volstad, Soriass, and company. I would like to see some of the prospects and not have to go to Des Moines to do it.
Hey, I owned Bulls tickets when Jalen Rose and Eddy Curry were on the team so I know things can get better.
But this is really going to be the longest Cubs year I have experienced since 2002.
But then again, they all run together after a while.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
I haven't watched this team in years and I can say it makes your life much better than getting angry over it. I still think the long term future for this team is better than under Hendry and Lou though. We got pretty good starting pitching #1-3. A star SS. A 1B hitting everything that will bring us some possibly quite useful piece. A possible star 1B in Rizzo and a possible really good OFer in Jackson. We have some pretty good catchers it seems waiting to take over for Soto once we can trade him. Vitters might not be the star people were hoping for him but he should still hit well and with Rizzo and Castro might not have to be a star.
Overall it seems we're gonna have a very good top half of the lineup top part of the rotation. Relief pitching is bad but generally seems to be something you just can't spend money on to be successful with. This year might suck if you have any hopes for competition but for me I'm enjoying seem some players do well, seeing a consistent system put in place bottom to top and having some hope that with the team being built on young players if Castro, Rizzo and Jackson all do pan out we could be a very good team for a long time.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
Ha, I gave up on being angry about the Cubs during my inauguration year, 1969.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
I think you're giving up on Stewart a little early. His numbers are ugly, but I actually think he's looked decent at the plate. He's not a candidate to turn into a star or anything, but he's looked in control and like he can hit the ball. His numbers, granted, don't show it yet, as his slash line is hideous.
When I say that his BABIP has been low, nay-sayers are likely to point to his BABIP last year and call it a trend instead of bad luck. Certainly, his BABIP last year (.224) was even worse than it has been so far this year (.244). But both are way below his career average (.295).
And when we talk about BABIP, we should also take his type of contact into account. In 2011 he had a horrendous line drive rate of just 11.9%. If you hit that few line drives, you'd better jack a lot of fly balls out of the park. In 2011, he definitely didn't. 0% HR/FB (no homeruns). In 2012 Stewart has a much, much healthier line drive rate of 22%. With one HR, his HR/FB is a mere 6.7% (for comparison, Blake DeWitt's percentage in 2011 was 6.8%).
Meanwhile, his K% and BB% have been pretty consistent throughout his career.
So, it seems to me that as the season progresses if we want to draw conclusions about whether Stewart is returning to the player he once was or whether he's staying closer to what he was in 2011, we need to pay attention to the following things in addition to his slash line and his HR total: Is his line drive % closer to 10 or 20 (or over 20)? When he hits a fly ball, is it leaving the park 10-15% of the time, or is it leaving the park 0-5% of the time?
Everything else has been pretty consistent for Stewart in his career. I suspect the power is going to take a little bit longer to come back, if he is on the way to returning to his career averages, due to that wrist injury. If he comes all the way back, you might have a guy who can play decent defense at third, pop 20-25 HRs a season, and walk enough to get on base about 32% of the time or so. We might even expect him to improve on that, a bit, since he's in the prime of his career right now at age 27.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
I haven't seen him as much as you, I think, and I trust your judgement based on your posts. Right now his LD% rate is at 22%, about the only decent number I could find. I like his fielding enough to be patient and hope the rest will come.
Overall I'm trying to be optimistic, but this season looks like toast already, and it's awfully early to be saying that. We knew it was toast before it began, of course. I was just hoping for .500 mediocrity for awhile to make things interesting, not .300 pukeage.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
Oh, the season is toast. I've come to terms with that already, I think. I'm watching for the future now (which isn't necessarily making the experience more pleasant in the early going).
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
why not give up on him early when he swings a bat like he does?
as some know...i would be impressed if he hit .250/.330 avg/ob% with 15 homers...that's the best i think he's capable of and i doubt he'll do it.
crap contact on a rigid swing.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
Crunch, that's pretty much what I'm saying we might expect from him if his line drive rate and home run rates get back close to his career averages.
It's April 23 and he seems to be hitting the ball at people, as Rob said.
I haven't heard anyone claim he's going to be an all-star. I'm guessing your describe what he did last season as "crap contact." His contact this season, so far, has been fine.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
a guy with an uppercut swing like his not elevating the ball...that should say enough.
to me, he's a pure mistake hitter at this point in his career. a guy that swings with his power and his stroke should be able to square up the ball more than he's getting under/on top of it. part of that problem has to do with how little he can move/adjust his bat once he starts his swing.
he's hitting a lot of really hard line drives and hard grounders that should be elevated a lot more with his kind of swing.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
That is correct.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
Free LaHair!
LaHair aside - and it's not like it would do a ton to help - but this is just one of the worst lineups I've seen in quite some time.
Re: Game 16 Thread - Wells vs. Cueto
You know, I don't know if LaHair is going to be some great shakes, but with his numbers, especially compared to Baker's, at least let him play until his numbers come down. It's asinine to keep him on the bench with the kind of hitting this team has, even if he has had 5 strikeouts in 6 PAs against lefties.

My guess he'll be a Yankee soon, Jim Hendry has been scouring the rosters for someone just like him. Now he can get the original.

BJax 2-4, no strikeouts
Rizzo 2-3, double and a walk
Iowa and JJax loses 6-2.

Recent comments
yes, those hamilton WAR numbers are very reasonable. i'm on your side now based on that biting commentary and reasoning of why he's a 3.5-ish WAR player over a 600 PA season.
those numbers are obviously well deserved and worthy of no scrutiny...none at all. no issue.
CF D is rarer than a jon lester pickoff at 2nd...totally irreplaceable...no way in hell there's good D, low/no-hitting CF's in anyone's minor league system that could do what hamilton is doing.
Please do not discuss War here. I think the Cub Reporter should be politics free.
But yes, whether you support War or Peace...Mike Trout is ridiculously consistent and good.
"According to FOX Sports' Jon Morosi, Tim Tebow's baseball workout Tuesday in Los Angeles will be attended by scouts from "roughly half" of the 30 major league teams."
"One scout told ESPN.com last week that Tebow's swing is so long it might "take out the front row." That's not a good thing."
MyrtleBeachPelicans [email protected]
The #MBpelicans and @Cubs have extended their PDC through 2020!
Carolina League getting 2 new teams too.
CF WAR is ridiculous...billy hamilton is pulling a 3.0 WAR somehow...and managed a 2.0 WAR last year (even though he missed a month of the season)...and a 3.7 WAR in 2014.
yeah, a lot depends on how one is doing relative to others at a given position, but WAR is common used (right or wrong) as a blanket comparing all kinds of players.
trout's one of the best, and at this point should probably win over donaldson (and should have more MVPs in the past, too), but the defensive aspect of valuing WAR still needs more tweaking...imo.
Mike Trout is ridiculous
Don't know if Cubs will recover from "spanking" Gordo
2nd in defensive WAR, NL.
6th in NL in RBI
Go complain about something else, like, "they never play good against the good teams", or some other shit.
Addy really has trouble breaking through .250 BA -- after his hot streak got him to .251, he has gone 1-for-17.
Thank goodness for Jansen's 2 WP on Friday -- otherwise this would have been a sweep.
There seems to be a direct correlation with overconfidence in the Cubs offense against mediocre/young pitchers and really poor offense against mediocre/young pitchers. So, let's fear the Pirate pitchers!
Rizzo due for a power surge -- one HR in August so far. He truly does hit them in bunches.
Sometimes I'm not as supportive of Cahill as maybe I should be. There, I said it.
Rough 8th inning all around -- HBP, Cahill error, Javy's poor decision.
Oh well - given that the Cubs didn't look like they were going to score, it's better to lose in 9 innings, save the bullpen and get changed for the PJ trip home.
Baez still learning

I rented this vehicle as a surprise for my husband's 45th birthday. My husband works 60 hours per week and his dream has always been to vacation in an RV. Needless to say this was ruined because of the owner of this place. In addition, Cruise America gave me completely false and misleading information when I placed the reservation about how the RV was powered (telling me I did not need an electric campsite when in fact I did) and that I could drop off the vehicle late for a fairly minor fee (when in fact I could not return the vehicle late period. I was laughed at, sneered at and ultimately thrown out of the facility because of asking questions and trying to clarify lies that were told to me when I reserved the vehicle. My husband's surprise and out one weekend as a family was completely ruined because of this. I have never experienced anything like this behavior before. BEWARE; DO NOT RENT WITH CRUISE AMERICA! Your trip will likely be ruined. Oh, and one more thing they don't tell you -- you have to return the vehicle spotless and I mean spotless -- even a bug on the windshield will incur a $250 fee! I am not one to post bad reviews as I know how hard it can be to run a business but this was really the epitome of awful!

How to treat and prevent knee arthritis.
The Symptoms
Pain, swelling and stiffness in the knee and an inability to use the joint as much as desired.
What's Going On In There?
Arthritis is simply the wearing out of a joint's lining, leaving bone to grind on bone. It's caused by a combination of factors, including old injuries, genetic predisposition, overuse and sometimes just bad luck.
Arthritis gets worse over time, but it's possible to continue at your current level of fitness. Find ways to train and maintain fitness while reducing the wear and tear on your knees.

- Great color, bad lifetime Review by Dan
Balloons looked great but seemed to deflate quickly, in a matter of hours. Not a good balloon if you want long lasting.

In the brave new world of cloud computing, what is the secret to building great companies? That was the question answered by Roman Stanek, pioneer of Business Intelligence (BI) in the Cloud, who on Monday keynoted SYS-CON's Cloud Expo Europe 2009. The first major Cloud event in Europe was co-located with Virtualization Conference Europe 2009, and took place May 18-19, 2009, in Prague, Czech Republic, ans was sponsored by Sun Microsystems, VMware, GoodData Corporation, and 3tera.
Stanek delivered his Cloud Expo Europe keynote on May 18, 2009 at Hilton Prague
In his presentation, titled: "Building Great Companies in the Cloud," Stanek - a technology visionary who has spent the past fifteen years building world-class technology companies - talked about what it means to be 'born on the cloud.' Specifically he shared with delegates his thoughts on how to use cloud computing as a technical design center; how to take advantage of the economics of cloud computing in building and operating cloud services; how to dramatically change customer adoption; and how to plan for the technical and operational scale that cloud computing makes possible.
"By now, most technologists are sold on the fundamentals of cloud computing," said Stanek.. "It's a realization of the last 20 years of architecture development. For architects and developers alike."
The economics of the cloud, according to Stanek, mean that "we finally get to do what we've been drawing on whiteboards for years." Companies large and small are taking advantage of the cloud's utility model. What used to cost $20+ million can now be done for $500k on Amazon Web Services.
"This provides unprecedented opportunity - for new and established companies alike," Stanek noted. His keynote took place Monday May 18th in the Prague Hilton.
Speaker Bio:
Roman Stanek is a technology visionary who has spent the past fifteen years building world-class technology companies. Currently Founder & CEO of GoodData, which provides collaborative analytics on demand, he previously co-founded first NetBeans, now a part of Sun Microsystems and one of the leading Java IDEs, and then and Systinet, now owned by Hewlett-Packard and the leading SOA Governance platform on the market.

With so much going on in this space you could be forgiven for thinking you were always working with yesterday's technologies. So much change, so quickly. What do you do if you have to build a solution from the ground up that is expected to live in the field for at least 5-10 years? This is the challenge we faced when we looked to refresh our existing 10-year-old custom hardware stack to measure the fullness of trash cans and compactors.

I wanted to gather all of my Internet of Things (IOT) blogs into a single blog (that I could later use with my University of San Francisco (USF) Big Data "MBA" course). However as I started to pull these blogs together, I realized that my IOT discussion lacked a vision; it lacked an end point towards which an organization could drive their IOT envisioning, proof of value, app dev, data engineering and data science efforts. And I think that the IOT end point is really quite simple…

The emails tried to persuade him that it was urgent to send them information, money and permission to transfer the registry of the domain name to the company, "Domain Registry of America" from the present company, who are satisfactory in all ways.
In spite of several phone calls, and a report to www.recol.ca , "Domain Registry of America" continues to email this person. In my opinion this scam has progressed from fraud to harrassment.
This company also does business as "Domain Registry of Canada" and emails may come from either.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Friday, Nov. 8, 2013
BARNWELL, S.C. (WRDW) -- From the outside, things almost look normal, but inside a Barnwell home on Berry Street, the situation is anything but.
"Donna was one who would take her shoes off of her feet and put them on yours," says neighbor and close friend Joann O'Neal of Donna Dempsey. "She was just a lovable person."
O'Neal lives across the street. Just a week ago, she returned from the store to find officers, firefighters, and medics swarming her good friend's home.
"I waited patiently until I could get an answer. Where is she? How is she? Finally, her fiancee told me she was gone," O'Neal says.
Barnwell County Coroner Lloyd Ward says smoke inhalation from a fire killed 56-year-old Dempsey and her two dogs, Billy and Butterbean. However, on Friday, the coroner tells News 12 the case is now being investigated as a homicide. Before the smoke inhalation, Ward says the autopsy shows she suffered trauma to the head.
"Two o'clock [in the morning] I got up. I looked over her way. The light was still on in the bedroom and the living room. At 4:30, the same thing," says O'Neal, who admits she'd heard to rumor of foul play.
The South Carolina State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) tells us an investigation is ongoing. Neighbors say SLED agents were in the area on Thursday.
"They're checking it out," says O'Neal. "They're doing a thorough investigation."
Meanwhile, O'Neal says she might pack her bags and move as she suffers from the pain of losing her close friend.
"We had a thing that we would burn our lights at night on the front porch," she says. "Now, there's no light here. I don't know what I'm going to do now."
Dempsey's daughter Tracey reached out to News 12 and said her mother will be missed. She says her mother would have given away her last dime. She says her mother also has a son with cerebral palsy.
Currently, there are no suspects in custody. However, check back for updates as they develop.
