Moving toward a transportation system that fuels healthy people and a healthy planet.
By Streetsblog
green transportation, bike share, bike-share systems, bike-share programs, Streetsblog
This article originally appeared on Streetsblog and was reposted with permission from Angie Schmitt.
Pittsburgh was the newest city to announce its bike-share plans this week, when it confirmed the city would add a 500-bike system by the spring of next year.
But nearby Columbus, Ohio, will beat them to the punch. Ohio's capital city is planning to add 300 bikes this summer. Meanwhile, Indianapolis' plan was to roll out its system next month.
The truth is you would be hard-pressed to find a large Midwestern city that hasn't taken formal steps toward adding a bike-share system.
Both Cleveland and Detroit are studying bike-share programs. Cincinnati completed a bike-share study late last year, and is now seeking proposals from contractors. Milwaukee is assembling money for a system. Chicago hopes to add 3,000 bikes this spring.
And of course there's the granddaddy of them all: Minneapolis' Nice Ride. Launched in 2010, this system currently boasts more than 1,200 bikes. Late last year, the system surpassed half a million trips.
Midwestern cities have been inspired by some of the more spectacular examples on the coasts, according to Eric Rogers, executive director of BikeWalkKC, the nonprofit organization that manages Kansas City's bike-share system. Kansas City was a little ahead of the pack when it launched Kansas City B-Cycle, with 200 bikes at 12 stations, last summer.
"The last few years a lot of cities, especially in the Midwest, have seen good examples from places like Chicago and Portland and New York and D.C. of a lot of innovative facilities that are out there: cycle tracks, bike boxes, bike sharing," he said. "There's so much more knowledge out there now that it's easier to develop a solution and pursue it."
Midwestern metros have also been lured by the availability of new technology and the assistance of companies like B-Cycle and Alta Bikes that make installing these systems relatively easy and affordable. But these new additions to the bike-share family have taken a markedly different approach than some large coastal cities.
Midwestern systems tend to be smaller and more conservative than those in major metros outside the region.
"A lot of the Midwest cities started kind of small, maybe with 10 or 12 stations, and they're growing more organically over time," Rogers said. "It seems like a lot of the larger coastal cities have taken more of a big-bang approach."
Washington, D.C.'s first SmartBike system failed precisely because of its small size. The city decided that a bike-share system needed to be big enough to be useful right from the get-go, and the phenomenal success of Capital Bikeshare has proven that they were on to something.
Meanwhile, Kansas City's start-small approach seems to be going as planned. BikeWalkKC got some additional federal air quality money to expand its system with eight stations this year, which will bring the citywide total to 20.
Rogers says operating a successful system in the Midwest comes with its own challenges. Midwestern cities typically aren't as densely populated as some larger coastal metros. They may also lack transit that facilitates bicycling, and especially bike sharing.
"There's some pretty clear data that shows there's more [bike-share] usage in a denser city," he said.
Kansas City was surprised, for example, to see far more leisure-time trips than commuting trips. Evenings, lunchtimes and weekends are the most popular times for bike rentals there. Special downtown events also lead to a spike in usage. The organization has tailored its marketing toward this crowd, Rogers said.
One big question that remains is whether Midwestern systems will ever be financially self-supporting, as Washington D.C.'s Capital Bikeshare is becoming. The other question is whether that really matters.

Ultrasounds Directory
An ultrasound is a diagnostic test that has many uses, from diagnosing serious illnesses to determining a baby's sex. Ultrasounds are often used on the skin's surface, but sometimes the tool is inserted through a natural opening in the body. For example, an ultrasound tool may be inserted into the esophagus to take pictures of the heart. Ultrasounds can also be used on the cranium and bones, and can be done in 3D or 4D. Follow the links below to find WebMD's comprehensive coverage about how ultrasounds are performed, why they are used, what to expect during an ultrasound, and much more.

Solar panels are built to last and need little "daily" interest, it's still vital to take good care of them. Your commercial solar power system was a long-term investment! Regular maintenance every couple of years helps to keep your panels in terrific shape, prolonging the already prolonged life of your solar power system.
What's associated with commercial solar system maintenance? Since there are no moving parts in the solar panels that can malfunction or degrade, maintenance largely involves guaranteeing the panels are kept clean and dirt-free. Apparently innocuous, dirt collecting on your panels can compromise the quantity of sunshine reaching the panels and minimize their power output.
Commercial Solar Panel Maintenance Quote
As a reward for picking their services, solar power business will often include a totally free upkeep package with every commercial purchase. Within these upkeep packages, solar business will often consist of thorough inspections, upkeep strategies based on the findings of those evaluations, and low-priced replacement parts if essential. It is intresting for you to know about heating maintenance on this website www.temposavesenergy.com .
Commercial Solar Panel Cleaning
Cleaning your panels is rather simple, particularly if your panels are quickly accessible. If you're able to access your panels with little issue, washing the panels down with a garden hose is all you require to do.
If your photovoltaic panels reside on your roofing, cleaning them takes a little more effort and care. Take additional care when cleaning roofing system panels to ensure you do not fall or harm yourself - or the panels! For roofing photovoltaic panels, it might be a better (and less scary) option to work with expert cleaners.
When cleaning your commercial solar power system, beware not to use cold water to the photovoltaic panels when they're still hot. Doing so can substantially damage your commercial solar system. To prevent breaking the photovoltaic panels, clean them during the morning or late evening once the panels have had an opportunity to cool down.
If you feel your commercial solar panel system requires a little additional "spritzing", you can acquire a panel cleaning kit. The kits usually consist of a squeegee or wiper, a variety of brushes, and soap. To ensure the appropriate soap-to-water ratio and in order to clean your panels in the best possible way, follow the instructions for cleaning consisted of in your kit. When using soap to clean your commercial solar panel system, it is vital that you wash away all of the suds and soapy residue. To letting dirt collect on the panels, allowing soap to dry on the panels can block the sunshine and consequently minimise their performance.
Whichever approach you choose to use, keeping your panels in leading shape will increase the quantity of time for which your system pumps out the greatest amount of power. It will keep your commercial solar system functioning extremely and efficiently, preserving the intended energy production and increasing the return you see on your earth-friendly investment.

229 Tasting Notes
So haven't been drinking or reviewing tea lately. Turns out I'm going to have surgery for a very rare kind of brain tumour called an Epidermoid Cyst that is in a very problematic place pushing on my brain stem and right under the medulla oblongata. The surgeon says I have a 99% chance of not dying from the surgery and 95% chance of coming out of it perfectly.Apparently this kind of cyst is found in like 1 of 320,000 people so guess I'm special.The surgery isn't until November late probably and it will be 5-11 hours with blood on hand in case of blood loss and a special nerve monitors so they can avoid paralysing me for life or waking up under anaesthesia. I'm very scared so I'm going to get back on the drinking tea because even though I have good chances I need to enjoy my life as pre-surgery kat…because I'm going to be a different person after the surgery if I live. I'd love to hear from people who have had serious surgery if possible. Okay drama rant over and on to what we really care about tea!
Smells like Candy and juice and red licorice?
Beautiful dark pink color and once brewed smells like this Polish jelly (awesome jello slime) desert particularly the berry one. Ooh nostalgia.
I'll try this iced another time it is like we skipped Fall and went right to winter!
As for taste : it kinda tastes like that Polish jello slime except more watered down.Sweet little tart !
Perfect for: Icing,instead of jello,summer feelings in winter darkness.
Final verdict: nice and nostalgic. Not heavy on hibiscus. Quite pleasant hot but would be great iced.I'll finish my stash but unless it charms me much more it won't hit the glorious pantheon of my staples.
Oh, I missed commenting on this post when I zipped through it earlier, but I'm happy that the prognosis is so positive. Are you going to be able to drink tea after? How long will recovery be?
I hope it goes smoothly! :O
Good luck Kat. Just remember not to do too much research online before the surgery. Those are great odds but still scary. Happy thoughts to you.
Cloudy and muggy day. Would love to feel like a million bucks so I choose this smoky,decadent and very nutty tea to start the day off right.
This tea smells lightly of marzipan and coconut with a rich downy blanket of teeth clenching nuttiness and smokiness. Like Fantasy Island without the sexiness or sweetness. This tea is all about bars of gold,dollar bills and bling …serious bling. Definitely fit for royalty. Opulent and deep like the dank back end of a safety box filled with treasure. Sounds bad but actually it smells wonderful ( I imagine)
As for taste..it is wonderfully sharp and nutty,warming and soothing with a kiss of coconut that lingers on the tongue and a very slight tart sweetness from the raisins. Golden smooth and deeply rich with an absolutely gorgeous nuttiness. It tastes like the perfect fall/winter coat.
Perfect for: cold nights,a need for opulence,lovers of smoky and nutty teas.
Final Verdict: this tea is Fantasy Island's romantic partner they both share these deep smoky elements but where Fantasy Island is sweet and sexy Brazillionaire is deep and rich like a baritone. They are a pair that I believe belong together. Husband and wife tea! I prefer Fantasy Island but I love the husband too. This tea is a lovely win.
Well it is time for a white tea. I haven't had a straight one for a while so I bought some White Peony.
Smells like the real thing,quality thing high in antioxidant thing.
I put less in accidentally so steeped longer hopefully we will get a great glimpse of the elegance of this tea.
Taste is nice and light with a silky base and smooth sipping all the way down. It is a bit too light in my opinion but I think this might be nice to mix with another tea ..something really sweet or decadent and add this lovely full base to it..any ideas?
Final verdict: a little too gentle but quality white tea.
I'm loving what DT is doing with Chamomile right now! Don't stop.
I went to pick up the new menu from DT and this was the tea of the month so I grabbed the 50 trams immediately.
The iced sample sold me completely. I love it iced it is smooth and sweet with a light tartness the smoothness of the chamomile lies like a perfect velvety base. mmmmmmmmm
Hot is nice but iced is the way to go. The flavours are just so ice friendly.
I'm seeing this as a possible staple.
So I oversteeped but I hope that is a plus.
In the pouch this smells decadent,sexy as hell,creamy and like pistachios getting it on under silk sheets.
I've always loved pistachios so I'm looking forward to trying this. Hopefully it won't be disappointing like Sugar and Spice ….sad story but true.( I'm sticking to Glitter and Gold)
This is very nice, silky smooth and sweet with gentle kisses of chamomile …I think steeping it so long let the taste really develop.
Perfect for: people who want decadent adult cures for an upset tummy,late night sweet tooth,warming and soothing needed during the rainy nights and a warm hug.
Final verdict: me likey! Gorgeous presentation and wonderful boot in the ass of traditional chamomile teas. Plus pistachio! Not sure if a staple yet but if you are stressed or anxious this is the answer to a fashionable sexy tummy tamer.
So MRI last night. Was like being in a super slowed down Feindflug song. So now begins the waiting game and it is hard to get back to any normal state ..so much fear but denial is lovely this time of year. So as my gift for getting DT superfan status I got the new Fall Collection before anyone else..soot!
On to the tea.
I so love the smell of this tea ..it reminds me of these polish hard glazed with white sugar pastries with incredible chewy centres…..mmmmmm….memories.
I steeped to 5
And steeped a little less of the amount then recommended because I'm going to avoid bitterness.
The tea smells like the sweetened black tea my mom used to make for me ever since I can remember. This smells like the perfect comfort tea especially with all this stress it makes me feel like my mom is right beside me. This tea smells like home in comfy blankets and comfort everything.
As for taste..
Just a decent light black tea.
I'm a little disappointed for what it promised.
I barely taste anything but the base.
Just a very good but totally basic black tea with no extras. A real pity.
Maybe I'll try to steep for 7 but I'm super hesitant.
I'll stick with Glitter and Gold I think.

Recently submitted my little thing for Newgrounds' 20th Anniversary collab. Exhibit A:
Nice to have participated in a collaboration! Lots of fine, talented folks back in the forums, and I think it would be nice to get involved in the art community here. In other news...
Today marks the fourth week of my employment in an architectural firm! The work is pretty fair, and I'm mostly working with AutoCAD. But frankly, I'm still feeling for it; sitting down and looking at a screen for nearly 8 hours can still take a toll on my well-being. But I'm grateful for it though! Definitely don't mind doing this for a while over flipping burgers at Burger King (Sorry if that sounds harsh anyone working with food, but I really couldn't put up with the pace).
Just gotta watch my health. I realize my body's very sensitive to long-sitting pains and eye-strains, and I gotta make sure to find a balance between working hard and staying healthy.
Work aside, ever since I've gotten out of post-secondary, I've been able to put myself back together. After all the long-nights and greasy Tex-Mex burgers, I'm eating healthier and losing weight again. I've picked up the pencils and pens, and I'm reviving some projects that I've kept in the backburner! I'm really, really hoping I can keep myself commited to finishing these projects.
Also - again - health. At most 8 hours in front of the computer, spending the rest of the night in front of it again would kill me... Gotta make sure I pace myself right with my art. Maybe spend more time with traditional? Honestly I don't get the same intensity of headaches working with leads and inks. Must be a sign.

Friday! Go play in the rain and enjoy watching your newest Phillies pitcher this evening. [video below]

NEW YORK – The New York Mets set the tone for this game early on Friday night. Their first two batters stroked Adam Morgan fastballs over the wall and they were off and slugging to a 9-4 win over the Phillies at Citi Field (see Instant Replay).
"There's not much to say," manager Pete Mackanin said afterward, "other than we have to pitch better."
The Mets, very much in the thick of the NL wild-card race, played inspired ball in powering their way to their fifth win in the last six games. They hit four home runs on the night, including three against Morgan, and got a typically strong start from Bartolo Colon.
"It's never good when you start a game by giving up two home runs," Morgan said. "If I make better pitches, it's a different outcome."
The third home run that Morgan gave up was the killer. It was a grand slam by Wilmer Flores with two outs in the bottom of the fifth. That turned a 2-1 Mets' lead into a 6-1 Mets' lead.
Flores' grand slam came on a first-pitch slider. Morgan threw nine pitches before walking Neil Walker, the previous batter, to extend the inning. One of those pitches was foul pop down the right-field line that Ryan Howard could not chase down. Had he been able to make the tough play, Morgan would have gotten out of the inning unscathed.
Then again, the pitcher could have gotten out of the inning unscathed if he did not give up the two-out walk to Walker.
Or make a mistake with the first-pitch slider to Flores.
"It was a bad pitch," Mackanin said. "He tried to backdoor a slider and it ended up in his wheelhouse."
As for the pop-up down the right-field line …
"I was hoping somebody could run that down," Mackanin said. "Nevertheless, you've got to pitch around those things and make good pitches. That mistake to Flores put it away for them. Morgan had command issues. Too many pitches out over the plate."
In all, Morgan allowed eight hits, including five for extra bases, in his five innings of work. He dropped to 1-8 and his ERA rose to 6.50.
Reliever Frank Herrmann gave up the Mets' fourth homer, a two-run shot to Asdrubal Cabrera in the sixth. Cabrera homered from both sides of the plate.
Meanwhile, Colon, the Mets' 43-year-old control artist, did what he often does to the Phillies. He gave up just three hits and a run through seven innings before hitting the wall and giving up three runs without getting an out in the eighth. Colon had to settle for seven-plus innings of four-run ball. He is 12-7 with a 3.44 ERA. He is 9-3 with a 2.98 ERA against the Phillies as a member of the Mets.
"He seems to own us," Mackanin said. "We can't seem to square up the ball against him. He does a tremendous job with control and command."
Peter Bourjos concurred.
"He's different than any pitcher you see these days," Bourjos said. "You don't see many guys throwing mostly fastballs at 88 mph and sinking it. You see some guys throwing a majority of sinkers, but it's 95. This guy changes speeds on his fastball and locates it so well."
The game marked the Phillies' first without Carlos Ruiz, who was traded to the Dodgers on Thursday. Jorge Alfaro came up from Double A and served as the backup catcher. He is expected to return to the Reading club on Saturday when A.J. Ellis arrives. The Phillies picked up the veteran backup catcher in the trade.
Alfaro did not play, but called the experience of coming to the majors "a dream."
That was the only thing that resembled a dream for the Phillies on Friday night.
They have lost 20 of 29 games to the Mets over the last two seasons and 12 of their last 16 in Citi Field, hardly encouraging with two more games to play in the series.
GLENDALE, Ariz. — Prior to ArenaBowl XXIX, the consensus among players and coaches was the team which makes fewer mistakes had a reasonable chance to win.
When the Arizona Rattlers committed two critical turnovers in the initial minutes Friday night, the Soul jumped out to an early lead and then capitalized on big plays from the defense to earn a 56-42 win and their second ArenaBowl title in franchise history.
The championship is the first for a professional team in Philadelphia since the Soul and Phillies each took individual titles in 2008. Villanova captured the men's NCAA basketball championship this past April.
Coming into the title game at Gila River Arena, Arizona averaged 83.0 points per game in postseason play, and the Soul defense, which averaged 45.5 points allowed in playoff competition, did not deviate from its norm.
"We trust in our defense," said defensive back Dwayne Hollis, who scored on an early fumble recovery and had a key interception late. "The fumble was great work from the line. A few guys got in there and the ball came loose. I was able pick it up and I only saw the end zone."
This one started in a way all too familiar to the Soul defense.
Following a 16-yard touchdown reception from Darius Reynolds, and an early 7-0 Soul lead, Hollis scored just over three minutes later. That's when he picked up the fumble from Rattlers running back Mykel Benson and ran 48 yards for the score.
On the ensuing kickoff, the Rattlers' Anthony Amos could not handle the rebound off the netting in the end zone and Tracy Belton, the AFL Defensive Player of the Year, scooped up the loose ball for a touchdown. That brought the Soul out to a 21-0 lead less than seven minutes into the game, and created a relatively secure comfort level.
"We go against those guys every day in practice, and know how good our defense really is," said quarterback Dan Raudabaugh, who finished with a 20-for-36 night, 278 yards and six touchdowns. "This is such a great defense, and they proved it when it counted."
Despite an early lead, the Rattlers managed to catch the Soul at 42-42 early in the fourth quarter. On the next possession, Raudabaugh engineered a six-play scoring drive that culminated in a 21-yard TD strike to Shaun Kauleinamoku. After the extra point was blocked, that created a six-point lead, and then the key defensive play of the game.
As Arizona quarterback Nick Davila attempted to pass from the Soul 15-yard line, his arm was hit and defensive tackle Jake Metz recovered. From there, Raudabaugh connected with Kauleinamoku on a 30-yard scoring strike, and this one was in the win column for the Soul.
"Our defense is persistent," said Metz, a native of Souderton, Pennsylvania, who went to Shippensburg University. "This group never gives up, and we did our job."
In postgame awards, Kauleinamoku was named the Playmaker of the Game, and Belton was honored as the Defensive Player of the Game.
For his key 30-yard TD reception late in the game, Kauleinamoku was given the Catch of the Game, and Hollis' fumble recovery and touchdown early was noted as the Highlight of the Game.
NEW YORK — The New York Mets clubbed four home runs on their way to pounding the Phillies, 9-4, at Citi Field on Friday night.
Phillies starter Adam Morgan gave up six runs, all on homers.
Meanwhile, the Phillies' bats did little against 43-year-old Mets starter Bartolo Colon for the first seven innings and by that time they were down by eight runs.
The Mets are in the thick of the NL wild-card chase and have won five of their last six. The Phillies have lost six of their last nine.
The Mets are 20-9 against the Phillies over the last two seasons.
Starting pitching report
Morgan was tagged for three home runs, including a grand slam with two outs in the bottom of the fifth. He gave up back-to-back homers on his first five pitches to open the bottom of the first inning.
In all, the lefty allowed eight hits, including five for extra bases, in his five innings of work. He dropped to 1-8 and his ERA rose to 6.50.
The grand slam was hit by Wilmer Flores on a first-pitch slider. Morgan threw nine pitches before walking Neil Walker, the previous batter, to extend the inning. One of those pitches was a foul pop down the right-field line that first baseman Ryan Howard could not chase down. Had he been able to make a play, Morgan would have gotten out of the inning unscathed.
Colon allowed four runs over seven-plus innings. Three of them came when he failed to retire a batter in the eighth. Colon is 12-7 with a 3.44 ERA. He is 9-3 with a 2.98 ERA against the Phillies as a member of the Mets.
Bullpen report
Frank Herrmann gave up three runs in two innings of work.
Hansel Robles, Sean Gilmartin and Jeurys Familia closed it out after Colon exited.
At the plate
The Phillies did not have a hit until Odubel Herrera's one-out double in the fifth. He scored on a two-out single by Morgan. The Phils had just three hits through seven innings. Cesar Hernandez and Aaron Altherr teamed to drive in three runs with a pair of doubles off Colon in the eighth.
The Mets had 11 hits, four of which were homers. Asdrubal Cabrera homered from both sides of plate for the Mets.
Colon helped himself with a double, a single and two runs scored.
Jay Bruce was the only Met to struggle. He struck out four times.
The Phillies brought up catcher Jorge Alfaro from Double A. The plan is to send him back Saturday when newcomer A.J. Ellis arrives and assumes the second catcher duties. Ellis was acquired from the Dodgers in the Carlos Ruiz trade Thursday. The trade left Howard as the lone member of the 2008 World Series championship still with the club. Howard can deal with it (see story).
Up next
Jeremy Hellickson (10-7, 3.60) opposes hard-throwing Mets right-hander Noah Syndergaard (11-7, 2.61) on Saturday night.

Larry Walker Comps
Posted by Chris J. on February 28, 2008
Over at his blog, Joe Poz had a really nice post recently. It's a testament to his ability as a writer that I liked it despite disagreeing with almost everything in it. One PI-related point is when he makes the following point:
The guy has a career 140 OPS+, which is measured to take into account the Coors advantage. There are currently four players with 140 OPS+ or better who had 7,500 plate appearances (I figure that's 15 years, 500 PAs) and are not in the Hall of Fame. They are:
1. Mark McGwire.
2. Jeff Bagwell
3. Edgar Martinez
4. Larry Walker
Hmmmm . . .well, Walker had a 140 OPS+ in 8000 PA. McGwire had an OPS+ of 162 in 7500 PA, Bagwell was at 149 OPS+ in about 9000 PA, and Martinez had a 147 in more playing time than Walker. Looking at PA & OPS+, none of these guys are good comps.
PI let's you find better comps. Walker's at 8000 PA & a 140 OPS+? Well, let's do a search for guys between 7500 & 8500 PA and a career OPS+ from 135 to 145. Here's the results.
Best comp is Bob Johnson, not in Cooperstown. Also really close are Norm Cash & Reggie Smith. It's a litany of the best hitters not in Cooperstown -- but they're all at best bubble cases. The Hall of Famers on the list are Duke Snider, Arky Vaughn, and Billy Hamilton.
Vaughn was a shortstop, and thus not really comparable. (Besides, he didn't get in through the BBWAA, though he should've).
Hamilton's value largely came from his 912 stolen bases, which aren't accounted for in OPS+. He also played center, a more demanding defensive position.
Duke Snider had a fantastic prime in which he played just about every day for 8 straight years. I dunno if Walker ever played 8 straight games - it makes a difference. And he also played center. The only BBWAA pick of the bunch, he barely got in from them, waiting until his 11th year of eligibility.
Piazza will go in, but who compares a catcher's offensive stats to a right fielder? Chipper Jones will likely go in, but his career ain't over -- and he beats Walker on both OPS+ and PA anyway.
The remainder are a bunch of Very Good but not necessarily great players. It wouldn't be a crime or disaster to put any in Cooperstown, but they all appear a bit lacking. Add in his durability problems, and I don't really see the case for Larry Walker.

The At-Bats list is very telling. It's basically a lot of guys who should have racked up huge numbers, after all they were OPS+'ing in the 140-range for their career, but for whatever reason (mostly injuries and durability issues), they never came close to 9,000 or 10,000 at bats.
You'd think a guy who puts kinds of offensive numbers would continue have value far into his career, especially in the DH-era, but guys like Jack Clark and Larry Walker just kind of fizzled out and left the game early. Clark had a number of good seasons where he hit well but barely played.
And why, oh why, did the other Clark quit?
David in Toledo Says:
February 28th, 2008 at 12:04 pm
Great analysis! I think the most comparable player on the list is Reggie Smith, another "five-tool" right fielder. Smith's best year in 1977 was not quite as good as Walker's 1997, and Reggie's career OPS+ isn't quite as good -- but they're close (in the same part of the ball park).
Reggie got 3 votes for the Hall of Fame in 1988. He is, however, in the Baseball Evolution Hall of Fame.
whiz Says:
February 29th, 2008 at 11:25 am
If you use b-r's comparable players tool, you get: 1. C. Jones, 2. Snider, 3. Ellis Burks, 4. Dimaggio (!), 5. Moises Alou, 6. Mize, 7. Manny Ramirez, 8. Chuck Klein, 9. Vlad Guerrero, 10. Edgar Martinez.
That's 4 HoFers and maybe another 3 likely ones (Jones, Ramirez, Guerrero), although, as Chris mentioned about Jones, their careers aren't over. Still, these comparisons make it look a little more likely. Of the four on this list who have retired AND have reached HoF eligibility, all are in the HoF. Also, in the PA/OPS+ comparison list, Walker has one of the higher BA's, which could help as well.
Chris J. Says:
February 29th, 2008 at 11:34 am
Yeah, but of those Hall of Famers, two (DiMaggio & Mize) lost several years to WWII.
That leaves Klein, a controversial choose who got in because of his uber-park inflated stats & that his candidacy was clearly superior to so many Friends of Frisch already in the joint.
Manny Ramirez, Chipper Jones & Vlad Guerrero will both end up far north of Walker's career line. Moises Alou ain't getting in.
Samurai Sam Says:
March 2nd, 2008 at 1:14 am
Walker was an excellent fielder, too. He won 7 Gold Glove Awards. That will certainly help his chances for the hall.
Chris J. Says:
March 2nd, 2008 at 1:55 am
See, I dunno if that actually will help his chances though. How many outfielders have had their defense really help them in the voting?
Dawson won 8 Gold Gloves. Despite getting over 2700 hits, 400 homers, and winning an MVP, he's still waiting to get in.
Dale Murphy won 5 Gold Gloves while being a fearsome hitter & an MVP. He's ever even come close.
Dave Parker had a trio of GGs, but hasn't even done as well as Murphy.
All those guys have borderline (or better, in the case of Dawson) hitting stats for induction, yet none seem to be getting helped.
Going back a bit, Richie Asburn combined the offensive career line that HoF voters typically love with a superlative defensive reputation in his prime. He had to go in through the VC because the BBWAA took a pass on him.
There's Curt Flood, but his fighting the reserve clause had more to do with his support than his glove, IMHO.
If defense makes a difference for outfielders, it's about 2-3%. They need 75%.
Defense helps at shortstop, catcher, and to a lesser extent second & third bases, but that's about it.

The impressive Google Currents mobile reading app has arrived, but can't be officially downloaded in Australia.
Google Currents competes with virtual magazine readers like Flipboard.
It packages news sources in a magazine format, giving the reader a headline, text extract and picture, if there is one attached to the post.
Google says it has worked with more than 150 publishing partners to offer full-length articles from more than 180 editions including CNET, AllThingsD, Forbes, Saveur, PBS, Huffington Post, Fast Company and more.
Content is optimized for smartphones and tablets, allowing you to intuitively navigate between words, pictures and video on large and small screens alike, even if you're offline.
Google Currents also allows Google Reader feeds to be added, enabling any site with RSS to be viewed. You can also add public Google+ streams.
There is a self-service platform for publishers to create branded content.
Terrific, it looks good and works a treat, especially on tablets.
But as Google tends to do, the app is only available for official download in the United States.
Presumably this is because of the partnership agreements, but fortunately there is an easy solution.
Download Google Currents
Search for Google Currents APK online to find the package or visit the XDA Developers forum.
There you will be able to download the app and install it to your Android tablet or phone. iPad users will have to wait for an authorised release.
Although Google probably has legal issues with releasing products like this simultaneously around the world, it is frustrating that a global operator can't operate globally.
An example of how users react to this discrimination can be found in comments such as: "Has someone told you guys that the Internet is global? and does not stop at the border of the United States, it would be nice if you release products same time worldwide. And do not worry we do not go to court if it doesn't work properly, at least not in Finland!"

Which MMA fighter nowadays is most likely to get brain damage in your opinion?
I think Cabbage is the one most likely to get brain damage. A punch that someone landed on him has probably hit his brain more then 10 times at least. I think he already has brain damage watching Tim Sylvia kill him at UFC 39 and his recent losses to the worst MMA fighters (Tank Abbott, Bart Gunn).
Prolly Saku & Nog
At the time i seriously thought NATE Quarry was going to have some kind of permanent brain damage after watching him get KO'd by RICH
i gotta say either shammy or big nog
If Shamrock lets Ortiz smash his head with multiple elbow shots again without defending himself and the ref feels pressured to let the fight go on, he could be a strong candidate for some concussion/head problems.
Yeah I too think Shamrock already has brain problems watching him say "I'm going to turn your hair black and make you tap" to Tito Ortiz :laugh:.

First, I apologize in advance if I get terminology wrong, or if I'm asking stupid questions. I inherited a web site for our company after we fired our web site's builder. I'm a veteran Windows user and graphic artist, but have no prior experience with WordPress.
I've been stumbling around, and figuring out bit by bit how to edit our site. I find the interface extraordinarily cumbersome and arcane (despite assurances everywhere that it's easy and intuitive!).
I've screwed up the slide show on our home page. I can't find a way to edit the width, height or justification of the pictures. I can't find WHERE the slide show is embedded. I can't seem to make any other slideshow work in the same space. And almost every place I've looked for help has been for a different version of WordPress (one that actually DOES look easy and intuitive?!?).
In short, please help, or at least point me to some help? Because this is driving me crazy. Thanks so much. --Jamie in Las Vegas

How does one change the default thumbnail image? I cannot guarantee that my client will add an image for every post...
Are you using the latest version? It already has a default image.
I'd like to change it to something else. I already went into the plug-in files and found the image url and changed it to a custom url, but it didn't change the image.
I have a default image thumbnail in place in my theme, but it doesn't override what is in the widget.
No, please don't change anything in the plugin files. Please take a look the screenshot http://wordpress.org/plugins/recent-posts-widget-extended/screenshots/ upper right, there's a "Default Thumbnail" field, change it with your custom one
Wow. I am not sure how I completely missed that. Thanks!
you're welcome :)
but how can I assign a unique thumbnail to display in each line? I REALLY like this but I don't want a default thumbnail showing up for each post.
You should set the featured image per post basis. The featured image will automatically appear each line/post
You are amazingly responsive! Thank you!!!
You're welcome :)

Corporate Advocacy Program™
magicjack is a good product. My 1 year subscription expired in November 2012 and I tried to renew for another year. My attempts failed. First I was told that because I was "out-of-country", my CC could not be accepted. I got VPN and blew holes in that statement. Then they told me that my CC company was blocking the charge. I got a letter from the CC company refuting the claim. Then they told me that I needed to update the CC info in my magicjack account, which I did. No change.
Around December 20, another "chat" agent told me that my account was "under review" and that the billing department would send me an email. As of January 3, no email, but I was able to place an order and actually get an order number for the first time. However, when I tried to use my magicjack it still didn't work. I logged into my account and was informed I needed to renew. Yet another "chat" with customer service informed me that the order "did not make it all the way through". Another report was created by the agent and I was again told I would get an email from the billing department.
Still no magicjack service!

First Stage's 'Midnight Cry' travels from slavery to freedom
Just after intermission in playwright James DeVita's "A Midnight Cry," the minister (Mark Corkins) hiding a terrified Lida Anderson (Malkia Stampley) tells her that "you need to act like you been living free your whole life."
A runaway on the Underground Railroad who has spent her first 17 years in slavery, a confused Lida asks just how she's supposed to pull that off. Corkins' dumbfounded minister — white, established and born free — can't even imagine himself into a place where Lida's question is possible. »Read Full Article

FORD and the unions have to agree - that FORD set an excellent example of what american workers and managemnt can do outside of government intervention. It is so much better to see company's manage themselves. Mitt Romney would be a welcome change for our country too since he brings leadership and know how to lead successfull businesses. If we can get Romney in office we will see a turn around in our economy virtually overnight. Just think of how the democrats have hurt us so far. They failed to act on jobs when they had a majority from 2008 to 2010. What else do we need to know.
If Rommy was in charge, All the big three would have gone under. Just like rommy would have liked. Then his buddies at toyota and kia would have paid into his offshore accounts.
business as usual...
If we can get Romney in office we will see a turn around in our economy virtually overnight. Just think of how the democrats have hurt us so far. They failed to act on jobs when they had a majority from 2008 to 2010. What else do we need to know
So what specifically will romney do to turn the economy around. Would you buy a car not knowing anything about it except taking the word of the salesman that it is a good car. No, you would not. The same goes for your president. How can you be expected to vote for a president that doesn't offer one specific plan of what he will do if elected. The republicans really don't think to highly of the american voter, do they.
Pro business for one and private enterprise.
Obama has been attacking free enterprise and supporting and building on failed Govt. social programs.
Trillions spent for what?? Where did the money go??
Where are the jobs???
I agree! remember the Dems held the house and senate from January 2007 to January 2010, and played their games!
Seems like Democrats do not want to here the truth!
Here's Mulally's testimony to congress
"In particular, the collapse of one or both of our domestic competitors would threaten Ford because we have 80 percent overlap in supplier networks and nearly 25 percent of Ford's top dealers also own GM and Chrysler franchises.
The impact of a bankruptcy also reaches beyond Ford and the U.S. auto industry. It would cause further stress to our domestic banking industry and private retirement systems. Goldman Sachs estimates the impact at up to $1 trillion."
"Just think of how the teahadists have hurt us so far. They failed to act on jobs when they had a majority from 2000 to 2008 AND 2010 to 2012. What else do we need to know."
Get a clue.
Romney is not the answer.....he's the problem
tax evasion,
and offshore accounts
I suggest you go back to obummer school. You have not learned anything else. You are not a Capitalist, no business sense or you would not put down a busines man vs. a business destroyer. You are the very big part of the problem, ignorance. You do not believe in a Constitutional Republic, that we American believe in.
without Obama's leadership to stand up to the never ending drumbeat of lies from the right, there would be no ford.
Nobody had 50 billion to loan GM for bankruptcy in the worst recession since the depression that also devastated the financial system. If GM and C shut down operations it would have shut down Ford as well. Its why Ford supported the bailout (remember, they all went together to beg congress for money)
GM and Ford have approximately 80 % overlap of suppliers. If GM suppliers go out of business, Ford cant get the parts.
Ford's own plan stressed that its ability to survive a recession and return to profitability was not only contingent on how well the total market performs, but also on the shortterm survival of its domestic competitors, because "Our industry is an interdependent one. We have 80% overlap in supplier networks," plus many dealers also have operations selling GM or Chrysler products. Accordingly, Ford requested a "stand-by" line of credit of up to $9 billion as "a back-stop to be used only if conditions worsen further and only to the extent needed

I don't normally like playing FPS's on consoles (Fallout 3 doesn't count, V.A.T.S. makes it totally different) because the controls are funky and I can never get into the flow. So when I bought Killzone 2 I thought I'd be playing through just another space marine game.
And for the most part I was right; except it's not just another space marine game. The grit, the pop-and-shoot (as opposed to GOW, hiding behind cover means you can't see until you pop up; that makes it really tense), the fact that the enemies don't glow in the dark (Halo is, after all, the happiest-looking death simulator ever), cooking grenades, and just about everything about the combat just feels right. I find myself dying a lot, but it never seems unfair (like Halo and COD sometimes did...) and the scenarios are interesting enough for me to want to just keep playing.
And that brings me to the most amazing part of the game; the graphics. Now, I don't normally spooge over spectacular graphics, but DAMN... From the gun barrels, to the explosions & fire, to the amazingly detailed death animations, etc, etc, etc. It's honestly the most amazing graphics I've ever seen, and looking back at the target video they weren't very far off.
It feels like I'm almost through the campaign, and so multiplayer is just around the corner... Hopefully the class & perk system they set up is just as good as the reviews say it is.

The Birthmark
by Nathaniel Hawthorne
The Laboratory and Boudoir
Symbolism, Imagery, Allegory
Never have two settings been more different than the laboratory and neighboring boudoir in "The Birthmark." Let's take a look at the text:
she found herself breathing an atmosphere of penetrating fragrance […] The scene around her looked like enchantment. Aylmer had converted those smoky, dingy, sombre rooms, where he had spent his brightest years in recondite pursuits, into a series of beautiful apartments not unfit to be the secluded abode of a lovely woman. The walls were hung with gorgeous curtains, which imparted the combination of grandeur and grace that no other species of adornment can achieve; and as they fell from the ceiling to the floor, their rich and ponderous folds, concealing all angles and straight lines, appeared to shut in the scene from infinite space. For aught Georgiana knew, it might be a pavilion among the clouds. And Aylmer, excluding the sunshine, which would have interfered with his chemical processes, had supplied its place with perfumed lamps, emitting flames of various hue, but all uniting in a soft, impurpled radiance. (29)
The first thing that struck her eye was the furnace, that hot and feverish worker, with the intense glow of its fire, which by the quantities of soot clustered above it seemed to have been burning for ages. There was a distilling apparatus in full operation. Around the room were retorts, tubes, cylinders, crucibles, and other apparatus of chemical research. An electrical machine stood ready for immediate use. The atmosphere felt oppressively close, and was tainted with gaseous odors which had been tormented forth by the processes of science. The severe and homely simplicity of the apartment, with its naked walls and brick pavement, looked strange, accustomed as Georgiana had become to the fantastic elegance of her boudoir. (57)
Not only do the physical details of each room scream "contrast," but, more importantly, the mood or atmosphere of the two rooms is completely opposite. The boudoir, we see, is the realm of the spiritual – freed from the earth and from all humanly imperfections. But the lab is just the opposite; it reeks of earthy smells and is literally smudged with soot. The boudoir is the dwelling place of all Aylmer's lofty, spiritual aspirations – everything he wants to accomplish as a scientist. But the lab stinks of his failures, of the reminders that he is mortal and cannot compete with Nature on a scientific scale.
There's also a bit of male/female dichotomy going on here; the boudoir is meant for Georgiana, the woman, while the lab is where the men work. It is significant that Aylmer puts his wife in the boudoir and doesn't want her to leave, imagining that he can "draw a magic circle round her which no evil might intrude" (29). This attempt to shelter Georgiana is both misguided and impossible; just as his attempts to remove the birthmark are really an attempt to remove her humanity, so Aylmer's desire to shelter her from evil is a desire to shelter her from her own humanity.
It is also significant that the lab room and the boudoir are right next to each other, separated only by a wall. In their "Character Analyses," we talk about Aylmer and Aminadab as representative of the two poles of man's nature – one half spiritual, the other half earthly. The two rooms basically represent these two different aspects of man's character. They could not be more different, but yet they are forced to coexist in close proximity.

Freddy Ortiz Inks Pact With Miguel Cotto Promotions
CAGUAS, PR- The highly quoted Puerto Rican boxer Freddy Ortiz has signed with the 5 times world champion in 4 divisions and promoter Miguel Cotto. The 20 year old had a very prominent amateur career with over 150 fights. His most prized victory was obtaining the bronze medal in the 2012 World Juvenile Tournament in Armenia. "Freddy Ortiz will make his highly anticipated professional debut on Friday July 11 in his hometown at the Humacao Arena on the Boxeo Boricua WAPA 2 Deportes Network.
"We are very pleased with the addition of Freddy to our company. He had excellent achievements as an amateur boxer and we believe he has big potential and talent to achieve big goals as a professional boxer", said promoter Miguel Cotto.
"I am very proud in this new stage of my career. I'm very focused on my goals, I feel ready and prepared to work hard because the professional and amateur boxing are very different but we know that working every day will fall in time. I am very grateful for the opportunity to belong to the company Miguel Cotto Promotions, "said Freddy Ortiz.
The experienced veteran trainer Orlando Rodriguez will be his head trainer who also is trainer to the top prospects Jantony Ortiz and Antonio "Cacique" Ortiz.

Dear xxxxx,
Very sorry to hear of this. I spoke to our shipment manager about this. Here is the issue, our stock order for the 181616 ( rear) was delayed. They are expected in tomorrow. This however does not do you any good. 99.9% we ship everything out on time and on target. However we do have our share of problems. Your
order was placed on Monday and you got part of it today. We should have sent you a notice yesterday explaining the delay but we did not. Most orders are not life or death. Usually people give 3-5 business days to complete an order. It has been 3 .
If you needed them that quick you should have bought them locally.
However your cheap and wanted them for nothing. Now your whining because were 2 days late. You and your b***hy old man need to get a life. I will refund you for the fronts. Don't buy nothing from me.
Now potential customers, do you REALLY want to do business with this type of person? Seriously think twice before ordering anything from Firehouse 5 Auto Parts (firehouse5auto) on ebay

Grow your breast larger
AUTHOR: doerfast - (Afghanistan)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, October 17, 2013POSTED: Thursday, October 17, 2013
Eldon also sells a CD that says he can make your breast grow larger by listening to it. I think that about sums up he's a scammer. Now if he can have documented photographs of BEFORE and AFTER breast size showing the enlargement WITH proof that they were NOT surgical enhanced I'll say he is not selling a scam product. But until then saying someone can grow larger breast by listening to some so called subliminal message saying "MY BREAST ARE LARGER" just shows what a scammer he is.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

text: We recently switched our site domain. We were able to easily change the domain name in the configuration of every other plugin, but I cannot seem to locate where it is set for this PageFlip plugin. Can you tell me how to update it? The gallery is giving all kinds of errors because it is trying to run getimagesize() on the wrong URLs, but there is no way to update it. It's not even stored in the database or any configuration files that I can tell (I did a search/replace and there was nothing there).
