Mr 13 liked a post in a topic: I was really disappointed
Mr 13 liked a post in a topic: VK.com integration - the largest European social network
alexxis liked a post in a topic: Naming for spoilers
Mr 13 liked a post in a topic: Why you don't collect data on configurations used on our ins
Mr 13 posted a topic in Company FeedbackWe all know that some really useful features was removed after the public test of 4.0 (e.g. per-group setting "Can open/close own topics?") So, i have 2 questions: How do you decide to remove some features? This decisions are based only on your(dev teams) opinion about necessity of this features, or decisions are based on statistics on use of those features? Why you don't collect data on configurations used on our separate installations? Doing this you can get a lot of very valuable information about real features usage. Also it can help to make better default settings based on this info. Personally I would like to send info about my configuration to IPS if it will be really used to improve your products.
Mr 13 replied to Mr 13's topic in Product FeedbackI know and already did, but it's a suggestion to implement it by default. Even if we know how to implement it on our installations, why do not make all IPS forums better? Our users really love this feature
Mr 13 liked a post in a topic: Can we get the old style "View New Content" button back?
Could you explain?
+1. We all want preview button.
Mr 13 replied to PedroNL's topic in Product Feedback@Peter Wilcox, could you explain in which cases it could be useful?
Really? Then, this post is a good example for you, does not it?
You're wrong. Only "pasting + Enter" will display it automatically. This behaviour is not obvious, a lot of users don't know about it. Also it's not suitable if user don't want go to next line. Btw, your post is not related to problem described above, because button exists. I just suggest better place to display it.
Mr 13 posted a topic in Product FeedbackNew position of this button is strange and confusing for most of users: How about this change:
Mr 13 posted a topic in Product FeedbackHow about this feature? Easy in implementation, but very useful.
Mr 13 replied to sound's topic in Product FeedbackAlso missed this option. Please, bring it back!
Mr 13 replied to Mr 13's topic in Product FeedbackPlease, read carefully. I mean on admin level for all users:
Mr 13 replied to Mr 13's topic in Product FeedbackCould you just give us an option to choose the default state of setting "Paste as plain text by default" ?
Mr 13 replied to Mr 13's topic in Product FeedbackYes, this is what i already doing since 3.x, but it's not a solution. Proposed option is a more flexible and correct way.
Mr 13 replied to Mr 13's topic in Product FeedbackWith the blessings of text-overflow:ellipsis; we will win.
Mr 13 posted a topic in Product FeedbackI already posted this suggestion(on old IPS 4.0 test installation, which currently unavailable) and this idea was supported by many people, but it still not implemented. So, i've attached some images above. How is it now: More than 80% of space completely not used. There are only 7 scanty thumbnails and nothing else. What i suggest: Pros: 24 images easily fit on one pageAt same time thumbnails are larger, which makes them more comfortable to viewThis grid can be adaptive > a very big advantage for mobile usersetc... In old topic the benefit was described in more detail, but old board is gone. So if someone have a questions, just ask.


text: For as long as I can remember, I've been using Hoppe's #9 and RemOil on my weapons (both issued by the USMC and my own). Always seemed to work pretty good. But I keep hearing stuff about this "Blue Wonder" line of various chemicals/oils. At first I thought it was just hype, and would soon pass like so many other things. But I keep hearing it here and there, and now I'm curious. Can't try it out personally right now (they kind of frown on that in the Corps, and I'm in the sandbox right now anyway), but I'd appreciate any input you could give me on this stuff.

A right Royal hotel
We had booked this break some time ago.
Luckily having read previous reviews we were made aware that our room may be in the annexe and not the main hotel. I rang to query and we moved to the main hotel after paying extra. We didn't mind as the hotel is fab, clean and comfortable. Our room was huge with a large bathroom. We didn't eat at the hotel in the evenings but the breakfast was great with a wide choice. Best of all the staff were excellent and nothing was too much trouble. We would definitely recommend it.

Quote:Words keep getting twisted, that's how they play this game. Now all of a sudden jude has groundfighting too,lol.
Quote: Are you EVER going to show us where groundfighting applications are found in kata pre 1991? Are you EVER going to answer what those groundfighting techniques are and where they are? Ofcourse you have stated that naihanchi crossing legs id a closed guard,lol.
Quote:Med, everyone knows there's techniques in kata that may put you on the floor, where I think the disagreement lies is in the assumption (tell me if this isn't what you're saying) that standing kata includes grappling on the ground for dominant position, or includes actual mnemonics for things like juji-gatame on the ground, knowing how to do some armbar standing doesn't imply neccessarily that the skills will naturally transfer in the horizontal world.

Women in Statewide Executive Offices
While only five women won in the 36 races for governor in 2014 (including four incumbents and Gina Raimondo of Rhode Island), the appointment of Kate Brown to replace governor-elect John Kitzhaber in Oregon, means six state governors are women. This is an increase from 2014, when women were governors led by female governors. Furthermore, twenty-three states have never had a female governor. Mississippi is the only state that has never elected a woman to the governor's mansion or to the U.S. Congress.
The percentage of statewide elected executive positions, like governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state and attorney general, held by women has barely increased since 1993, from 22.2% to 24.5% after the 2014 election.

Harriet Craig is even willing to spoil the business opportunities of her husband Walter (Wendell Corey) to avoid losing her precious home. When her self-involvement causes turbulence in the romantic life of her cousin (K.T. Stevens), and when her husband's eyes are finally opened to his wife's true nature, Harriet Craig is at long last hoist on her own petard. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

PeopleSoft released its preliminary second-quarter 2004 results on Wednesday (6 July), warning that its financial performance had been adversely affected by Oracle's hostile bid for the company and the publicity it has received in recent court skirmishes.

The enterprise software supplier said it expects to report revenue of between $655m and $665m (£357m) for the quarter ended 30 June 30.
The company's final second-quarter results are due out on 27 July.
Extensive publicity from the US government's antitrust trial to block Oracle's hostile bid has adversely affected PeopleSoft's business over the past month, PeopleSoft president and chief operating officer Craig Conway said in a statement.
PeopleSoft believes that evidence submitted in the trial displayed Oracle's interest in disrupting its business and damaging the company, Conway added in the statement.
The US government's case, which is due to wrap up later this month when closing arguments are delivered, has placed PeopleSoft, Oracle and their competitors in the headlines recently, revealing the normally secret worlds of the enterprise software giants.
Oracle made its initial bid for PeopleSoft more than a year ago, but this will be the first quarter that PeopleSoft is predicted to miss expectations related to the takeover bid.

With a Central Hockey League-best 69 third-period goals in 48 games this season, the Amarillo Gorillas have become known as a team that saves its best for last, or at least the final 20 minutes.
Tulsa 6, Amarillo 5 (SO)
Records: Amarillo drops to 18-24-7. Tulsa improves to 19-28-3.
Impact: Despite picking up a point, the Gorillas fall into a tie with Austin for the fifth and final playoff spot in the Southern Conference.
Key Stat: All three Tulsa skaters in the shootout score, while all three Amarillo skaters fail.
As for overtime shootouts, not so much.
That subtle but crucial difference was apparent Friday night.
The Gorillas overcame a three-goal barrage by Tulsa in the second period only to fall, 6-5, to the Oilers in an overtime shootout before 3,015 fans at Cal Farley Coliseum.
While the loss preserved a valuable point for the Gorillas, their record in shootouts dropped to 1-5.
And every point counts for the Gorillas, a team fighting for their sixth straight playoff appearance with two teams - Austin and Corpus Christi - breathing down their necks.
"(Tulsa) is a team we think we should beat. It seems we have more to play for than them," said Amarillo right winger Bill Vandermeer, who had two goals on six shots for three points. "Every game is big for us. We know that we have to win, otherwise we will be eliminated. It is the same mind-set as the playoffs. You don't win, you're done."
Austin's 5-3 win against Rio Grande Valley on Friday night pulled the Ice Bats into a tie with Amarillo for the fifth and final playoff spot in the Southern Conference. Corpus Christi lost, 6-3, to Laredo.
"Out of three periods, you win two periods but you lose one so bad that you have to go into an overtime period," Amarillo head coach Jim Wiley said. "It just goes to show you that you have to play 60 minutes of hockey. We were brain dead in the second period."
The Oilers scored three goals in the second period, including a short-handed goal by center David Beauregard at the 2:52 mark for a 4-2 lead.
As is their custom this season, the Gorillas responded with a strong third period. Amarillo killed three penalties in the third period and tied the game at 5-5 on forward David Nimmo's wrist shot in front of the left circle at the 15:55 mark. Nimmo entered as the CHL rookie leader in points with 53 and picked up four points, including three assists.
The Gorillas outshot Tulsa 51-33, including 6-3 in overtime. All three Tulsa skaters scored in the shootout, while all three Amarillo skaters failed. Beauregard was credited with the game-winner.
"Our team has not scored a lot of goal in shootouts, so we don't particularly want to get into a shootout," Wiley said. "We practice shootouts every day. If you go by past records, you can say we don't want to go into one. Obviously, we didn't stop anybody and we didn't score. After this, I would still have to say we don't want to go into any more shootouts."
Amarillo's shootout woes obviously frustrated Gorillas goaltender Dan McWhinney, who slammed his stick to the ground while coming off the ice after the game. McWhinney stopped 27-of- 32 shots.
"I thought I had (Tulsa goaltender Guy St. Vincent in the shootout)," Vandermeer said.

Any time an insurance company offers an annuity to someone, it must make assumptions about uncertain factors (such as the life expectancy of the annuitant) and the likelihood of uncertain events actually occurring; it must also provide the annuitant with peace of mind via lifetime payout options for the future and fixed insurance premiums. The insurance company prices these risks inherent to the structure of an annuity as accurately as possible and packages it into a dollar value charge for the annuitant.

Alpaydin offers an account of how digital technology advanced from number-crunching mainframes to mobile devices, putting today's machine learning boom in context.
Superintelligence asks the questions: What happens when machines surpass humans in general intelligence? Will artificial agents save or destroy us? Nick Bostrom lays the foundation for understanding the future of humanity and intelligent life. The human brain has some capabilities that the brains of other animals lack. It is to these distinctive capabilities that our species owes its dominant position. If machine brains surpassed human brains in general intelligence, then this new superintelligence could become extremely powerful - possibly beyond our control.
"Colossus: The Forbin Project is coming"
Steven Levy's classic book traces the exploits of the computer revolution's original hackers - those brilliant and eccentric nerds from the late 1950s through the early '80s who took risks, bent the rules, and pushed the world in a radical new direction. With updated material from noteworthy hackers such as Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Richard Stallman, and Steve Wozniak, Hackers is a fascinating story that begins in early computer research labs and leads to the first home computers.
"One of my all time favorite books"
Leading innovation expert Alec Ross explains what's next for the world, mapping out the advances and stumbling blocks that will emerge in the next 10 years - for businesses, governments, and the global community - and how we can navigate them.

Veteran technology reporter Steven Levy was granted unprecedented access to the company, and in this revelatory book he takes listeners inside Google headquarters - the Googleplex - to explain how Google works.
"Clever, honest, and even inspiring"
Nate Silver built an innovative system for predicting baseball performance, predicted the 2008 election within a hair's breadth, and became a national sensation as a blogger - all by the time he was 30. The New York Times now publishes FiveThirtyEight.com, where Silver is one of the nation's most influential political forecasters. Drawing on his own groundbreaking work, Silver examines the world of prediction, investigating how we can distinguish a true signal from a universe of noisy data.
"Learn About Statistics Without All The Math"
In The Distracted Mind, leading psychologist Larry Rosen and pioneering neuroscientist Adam Gazzaley explain why our minds have become addicted to email, text messages, virtual worlds, and social media such as Facebook and Twitter. Through compelling true stories and scientific research, they show how digital distractions affect every aspect of life, from work, safety, and communication to our relationships and health.

This book is an antidote to pessimism by tech-entrepreneur-turned-philanthropist Peter H. Diamandis and award-winning science writer Steven Kotler.
"A catalog of positive innovations on the horizon"
Under the aegis of machine learning in our data-driven machine age, computers are programming themselves and learning about - and solving - an extraordinary range of problems, from the mundane to the most daunting. Today it is machine learning programs that enable Amazon and Netflix to predict what users will like, Apple to power Siri's ability to understand voices, and Google to pilot cars.
"Let the Data Speak for themselves"
The digital age we live in is as transformative as the Industrial Revolution, and Joshua Cooper Ramo explains how to survive. If you find yourself longing for a disconnected world where information is not always at your fingertips, you may eventually be as useful as the carriage maker post-Henry Ford. It's practically impossible to know where the marriage of imagination and technology will take us (sorry, Betamax and Kodak), and the only certainty is that in the networked world we will only become more intertwined.
"Ridiculously Relevant"
Soft Skills: The Software Developer's Life Manual is a guide to a well-rounded, satisfying life as a technology professional. In it, developer and life coach John Sonmez offers advice to developers on important subjects like career and productivity, personal finance and investing, and even fitness and relationships.

"Should be called a developers roadmap to success!"
In recent years, Google's autonomous cars have logged thousands of miles on American highways and IBM's Watson trounced the best human Jeopardy! players. Digital technologies — with hardware, software, and networks at their core — will in the near future diagnose diseases more accurately than doctors can, apply enormous data sets to transform retailing, and accomplish many tasks once considered uniquely human.
"Good for the periphery"
From elicitation, pretexting, influence and manipulation all aspects of social engineering are picked apart, discussed and explained by using real world examples, personal experience and the Science & Technology behind them to unraveled the mystery in social engineering. Kevin Mitnick - one of the most famous social engineers in the world - popularized the term social engineering. He explained that it is much easier to trick someone into revealing a password than to exert the effort of hacking.
"Social Engineering Savvy"
In a world of self-driving cars and big data, smart algorithms and Siri, we know that artificial intelligence is getting smarter every day. Though all these nifty devices and programs might make our lives easier, they're also well on their way to making "good" jobs obsolete. A computer winning Jeopardy might seem like a trivial, if impressive, feat, but the same technology is making paralegals redundant as it undertakes electronic discovery, and is soon to do the same for radiologists.
"Great content and this mechanization IS coming!"
For over three decades, the great inventor and futurist Ray Kurzweil has been one of the most respected and provocative advocates of the role of technology in our future. In his classic The Age of Spiritual Machines, he argued that computers would soon rival the full range of human intelligence at its best. Now he examines the next step in this inexorable evolutionary process: the union of human and machine.
"Terrible Narration"
Imagine a blackout lasting not days but weeks or months. Tens of millions of people over several states are affected. For those without access to generators, there is no running water, no sewage, no refrigeration or light. Food and medical supplies are dwindling. Devices we rely on have gone dark. Banks no longer function, looting is widespread, and law and order are being tested as never before.
"Fascinating but incomplete"
Virtualization can take on many different forms: virtual memory, virtual servers, and virtualized storage. In each of these cases, we've been able to move beyond the underlying physical components that make up the system and through the use of clever virtualization techniques we've been able to get more out of the system. This is what we're going to explore in this book.
Technology rules us as much as laws do. It shapes the legal, social, and ethical environments in which we act. Every time we cross a street, drive a car, or go to the doctor, we submit to the silent power of technology. Yet, much of the time, the influence of technology on our lives goes unchallenged by citizens and our elected representatives. Our embrace of novel technological pathways, Sheila Jasanoff shows, leads to a complex interplay among technology, ethics, and human rights.
Software Defined Networking (SDN) is not a revolutionary new technology. Instead, it is better to think of this as being a new way of organizing computer network functionality. SDN allows the network to be virtualized. That's where the real power of SDN comes from, and that's what we'll be exploring in this book.
With virtually nonexistent oversight, the Internet can easily become the judge, jury, and executioner for anyone's reputation. Digital attacks and misinformation can cost you a job, a promotion, your marriage, even your business. Whether you've done something foolish yourself, are unfairly linked to another's misdeeds, or are simply the innocent victim of a third-party attack, most of us have no idea how to protect our online reputation.

Robots are entering the mainstream. Technologies have advanced to the point of mass commercialization - Roomba, for example - and adoption by governments - most notably, their use of drones. Meanwhile, these devices are being received by a public whose main sources of information about robots are the fantasies of popular culture. We know a lot about C-3PO and Robocop, but not much about Atlas, Motoman, Kiva, or Beam - real-life robots that are reinventing warfare, the industrial workplace, and collaboration.

Many of the most dynamic public companies, from Alibaba to Facebook to Visa, and the most valuable start-ups, such as Airbnb and Uber, are matchmakers that connect one group of customers with another group of customers. Economists call matchmakers multisided platforms because they provide physical or virtual platforms for multiple groups to get together. Dating sites connect people with potential matches, for example, and ride-sharing apps do the same for drivers and riders.
"Compelling version of the platform revolution"
This book predicts the decline of today's professions and describes the people and systems that will replace them. In an Internet society, according to Richard Susskind and Daniel Susskind, we will neither need nor want doctors, teachers, accountants, architects, the clergy, consultants, lawyers, and many others to work as they did in the 20th century.
"I Hope It's Not All True"
The world's most infamous hacker offers an insider's view of the low-tech threats to high-tech security. Kevin Mitnick's exploits as a cyber-desperado and fugitive form one of the most exhaustive FBI manhunts in history and have spawned dozens of articles, books, films, and documentaries. Since his release from federal prison, in 1998, Mitnick has turned his life around and established himself as one of the most sought-after computer security experts worldwide.
"Poor Narrator - ZZZZZzzzzzzz!"
Could history repeat itself, with one giant entity taking control of American information? Most consider the Internet Age to be a moment of unprecedented freedom in communications and culture. But as Tim Wu shows, each major new medium, from telephone to cable, arrived on a similar wave of idealistic optimism only to become, eventually, the object of industrial consolidation profoundly affecting how Americans communicate.
"Very interesting history, biased conclusions"
Robots may one day rule the world, but what is a robot-ruled Earth like? Many think the first truly smart robots will be brain emulations, or ems. Scan a human brain, then run a model with the same connections on a fast computer, and you have a robot brain, but recognizably human. Train an em to do some job and copy it a million times; an army of workers is at your disposal. When they can be made cheaply, within perhaps a century, ems will displace humans in most jobs.
With his signature wit and thought-provoking insights, Neil deGrasse Tyson - one of our foremost thinkers on all things space - illuminates the past, present, and future of space exploration and brilliantly reminds us why NASA matters now as much as ever. As Tyson reveals, exploring the space frontier can profoundly enrich many aspects of our daily lives, from education systems and the economy to national security and morale.
"The least helpful review of Space Chronicles."
The U.S. scientific community has long led the world in research on such areas as public health, environmental science, and issues affecting quality of life. Our scientists have produced landmark studies on the dangers of DDT, tobacco smoke, acid rain, and global warming. But at the same time, a small yet potent subset of this community leads the world in vehement denial of these dangers.
"Valuable scholarship, but not exactly literature"
Artificial Intelligence helps choose what books you buy, what movies you see, and even who you date. It puts the "smart" in your smartphone and soon it will drive your car. It makes most of the trades on Wall Street, and controls vital energy, water, and transportation infrastructure. But Artificial Intelligence can also threaten our existence. In as little as a decade, AI could match and then surpass human intelligence. Corporations and government agencies are pouring billions into achieving AI's Holy Grail - human-level intelligence.
"Kind of chilling"
Jeff Hawkins, the man who created the PalmPilot, Treo smart phone, and other handheld devices, has reshaped our relationship to computers. Now he stands ready to revolutionize both neuroscience and computing in one stroke, with a new understanding of intelligence itself.
At the dawn of the 20th century, humanity was facing global disaster. Mass starvation, long predicted for the fast-growing population, was about to become a reality. A call went out to the worlds scientists to find a solution. This is the story of the two enormously gifted, fatally flawed men who found it: the brilliant, self-important Fritz Haber and the reclusive, alcoholic Carl Bosch. Together they discovered a way to make bread out of air, built city-sized factories, controlled world markets, and saved millions of lives.
In little more than half a decade, Facebook has gone from a dorm-room novelty to a company with 500 million users. It is one of the fastest growing companies in history, an essential part of the social life not only of teenagers but hundreds of millions of adults worldwide. As Facebook spreads around the globe, it creates surprising effects, even becoming instrumental in political protests from Colombia to Iran.
"Great history, poor analysis. TERRIBLE recording."
What is new about how teenagers communicate through services such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram? Do social media affect the quality of teens' lives? In this eye-opening book, youth culture and technology expert Danah Boyd uncovers some of the major myths regarding teens' use of social media. She explores tropes about identity, privacy, safety, danger, and bullying. Ultimately, Boyd argues that society fails young people when paternalism and protectionism hinder teenagers' ability to become informed, thoughtful, and engaged citizens through their online interactions.
"No surprises if you grew up in the digital era"
As we use the Web for social networking, shopping, and news, we leave a personal trail. These days, linger over a Web page selling lamps, and they will turn up at the advertising margins as you move around the Internet, reminding you, tempting you to make that purchase. Search engines such as Google can now look deep into the data on the Web to pull out instances of the words you are looking for. And there are pages that collect and assess information to give you a snapshot of changing political opinion.
"Great book for learning about Deep learning"
Three years ago, 32-year-old Markus "Notch" Persson of Stockholm was an unknown and bored computer programmer. Today, he is a multi-millionaire international icon. Minecraft, the "virtual Lego" game Markus crafted in his free time, has become one of the most talked about activities since Tetris. Talked about by tens of millions of people, in fact.It is the story of unlikely success, fast money, and the power of digital technology to rattle an empire. And it is about creation, exclusion, and the feeling of not fitting in.
"A decent depiction of a fascinating story"
In June 2011, Julian Assange received an unusual visitor: the chairman of Google, Eric Schmidt, arrived from America at Ellingham Hall, the country residence in Norfolk, England where Assange was living under house arrest. For several hours the besieged leader of the world's most famous insurgent publishing organization and the billionaire head of the world's largest information empire locked horns.
"It seems those who are suspicious of Google have good cause"
No one has failed to notice that the current generation of youth is deeply - some would say totally - involved with digital media. Professors Howard Gardner and Katie Davis name today's young people The App Generation, and in this spellbinding book they explore what it means to be "app-dependent" versus "app-enabled" and how life for this generation differs from life before the digital era.
"A Great Companion Read..."
Dr. Philip C. Plait sets the record straight on many modern hoaxes and myths. Appalled that millions of Americans don't believe in the moon landing, or that an egg stands on its end only on the vernal equinox, Plait hilariously spills the truth and informs us of scientific inaccuracies in our everyday vernacular.
"Answers to the astronomy questions that matter."

Hunterdon County will celebrate it's 300th birthday in 2014 and the non-profit group that is planning the year-long celebration wants every municipality to participate.
Marcia Karrow and Cynthia Yard came to the Tewksbury Township Committee meeting on April 26 to discuss what is planned so far. The pair has visited many other municipalities already.
A non-profit group has been formed to raise funds to cover costs of many events. At least one big event per month is planned with about 150 already scheduled.
Tewksbury will host walking tours of historic Oldwick. The township school district has also always been an active participant in the Mini Historians contest each year.
Committeeman Peter Melick suggested there be a contest to see who attends the most events. Karrow liked the idea. She said they might create trading cards that can only be obtained at events.
A new website Hunterdon300th.org is now up and running with many events already listed in the schedule. Karrow said the group is also now on Facebook and will start a blog soon.
Fundraisers are already underway. Karrow said the first order of magnets being sold for $10 each are almost sold out. The group hopes to raise $250,000 to cover expenses.
Volunteers have been joining the group but more are welcome Karrow said.
To be put on a mailing list to receive updates on the programs of the anniversary and meeting notices contact Marcia Karrow, Tricentennial Committee Chair at email@example.com

There's a Big Hole on Right Side of Giants Infield
There was a great deal of hand wringing among Giants fans during the offseason about what the team should do at shortstop. The incumbent, as it were, is Brandon Crawford, who jumped from Single A to the majors in 2011 after Pablo Sandoval broke the hamate bone in his right hand in late April, shifting Miguel Tejada over to third base. Tejada didn't produce at the plate no matter where he played in the field and was cut in late August. In 220 plate appearances, Crawford posted a paltry .204/.288/.296 but showed value in his glove, recording 6 Defensive Runs Saved in 500+ innings.
Jose Reyes and Jimmy Rollins were available free agents shortstops. Fans were split on whether the Giants should pursue either one, or both, and if so, for how long and for what kind of money. Never mind the fans, though. Reports suggest the Giants front office never considered a serious offer to either Reyes or Rollins, although they tried to get Willie Bloomquist and thought about bringing back Edgar Renteria. Neither (thankfully) came to fruition.
All the noise over shortstop, however, may have obscured an equally pressing need for the Giants at second base. Freddy Sanchez is in the second year of a two-year deal with the Giants, after joining the team mid-2009 in a trade from the Pittsburgh Pirates. And while Sanchez has been moderately effective when he's played, he's had one injury after another, missing big chunks of time.
Sanchez came to San Francisco with an existing knee injury. Once the Giants were out of contention that season, he had surgery on that knee. In the offseason, he had further surgery, this time on his left shoulder, and the rehab kept him out for the beginning of the 2010 season. Sanchez did play full time when he returned, and was an integral part of the Giants' march through the playoffs on the way to their first World Series championship in San Francisco.
But sixty games into the 2011 season, Sanchez injured his right shoulder, requiring yet more surgery, and knocking him out for the rest of the season. Ten days into spring training, Sanchez is just now starting to make throws from second to first, gingerly. And then two days ago, Sanchez's back "flared up" — which is an interesting way to describe an injury from early 2009, and one that hadn't been bothering Sanchez for several years, as far as we know. At this point, there may be little more than scotch tape and paper clips holding him together.
And yet, the Giants expect Sanchez to play the great majority of innings at second base. We know this because the Giants have touted Sanchez's return as akin to a new free agent signing, and because the team has little in the way of a backup plan.
Heading into the season, the Giants are expected to use former Cubs teammates (and fellow Cajuns) Mike Fontenot and Ryan Theriot as utility infielders. Each has played close to 2,000 innings at second base in his career, with Theriot earning slightly higher marks in Defensive Runs Saved and UZR. Neither is stellar at the position; neither is too much of a liability, at least defensively.
Theriot bats right handed and Fontenot left, so a platoon would be likely if Sanchez falls victim to an existing — or new — injury. Either way, the Giants aren't likely to get much in the way of offensive production. RotoChamps, Bill James and ZIPS project wOBA for Fontenot somewhere between .296 to .310. For Theriot, the range is .292 to .304. Ironically, or not — depending on your view of things — Sanchez isn't projected to produce much more offensively than either Fontenot or Theriot, even if he's healthy. The range for Sanchez's projected wOBA is .301 to .307.
In fact, the Giants face the same situation as they did last June, when Sanchez's right shoulder went "pop" (I was at the game. It really did go "pop.") They muddled along with Mike Fontenot and Emmanuel Burriss until getting Jeff Keppinger from the Astros in a trade and picking up Bill Hall off the discard pile. Keppinger and Hall were a big downgrade defensively and Keppinger wasn't nearly the offensive upgrade the Giants expected, and needed. When the season was over, the Giants had to choose either Fontenot or Keppinger, and chose Fontenot.
What should the Giants do? Not much, for now. Get the season started, see if Sanchez is healthy enough to play, how he performs, and all the rest. But if Sanchez can't play, or does play and produces only to the level of his projections, the Giants will have to act fast. Several months of a Fontenot/Theriot platoon could spell doom for the team's playoff chances, particularly if Crawford sticks at shortstop with minimal offensive production.
A short-term solution? An old friend.
Downs spent several years in the Giants farm system and saw limited big league action with the team in 2009 and 2010. When the Giants acquired Cody Ross off waivers at the end of August, 2010, Downs was the odd man out on the 40-man roster. The Giants hoped to squeeze Downs through waivers, but the Houston Astros picked him up.
Last season, Downs was the super-utility infielder for the Astros, with significant playing time (more than 120 innings) at both second base and third base. He rated poorly by UZR at second base (-2.2), although his career UZR at that position is 1.0. But in 222 plate appearances, Downs posted a slash of .276/.348/.518 for a .373 wOBA. And while Downs may regress from those numbers, he's projected for a wOBA between .311 and .351. On the high end, that would be an upgrade over both Fontenot and Theriot.
The Astros have Jose Altuve for the long term at second base. The Giants have no one for the long term at second base, meaning 2013. Well, unless Joe Panik rips through the minor leagues this year. That's a discussion for another day. For 2012, Downs could be a gap-filler if the Giants need help this season.

'Dracula's' Jonathan Rhys Meyers joins Roland Emmerich's 'Stonewall'
Roland Emmerich's upcoming gay rights drama "Stonewall" has added three new patrons.
Jonathan Rhys Meyers ("Match Point," NBC's "Dracula"), Ron Perlman ("Sons of Anarchy," the "Hellboy" movies), and Joey King ("White House Down") have joined the small-scale passion project from the "Independence Day" and "2012" director.
They join cast members Jeremy Irvine ("War Horse"), Jonny Beauchamp ("How to Make It in America") and Caleb Landry Jones ("X-Men: First Class").
Principal photography has just begun on the real life drama, which centers on the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City, which helped launch the modern gay civil rights movement. "Stonewall" will focus on Danny Winters (Irvine), a young man who leaves his troubled home and finds solace in the shady bar the Stonewall Inn, which is soon raided by the police, sparking the landmark riot.
Meyers will play a suave patron named Trevor, while Perlman will portray the bar's corrupt manager who has mafia connections. King will play Danny's sister, whom he leaves behind at home.
Written by Jon Robin Baitz (TV's "Brothers & Sisters"), "Stonewall" is being produced by Emmerich, Michael Fossat, Marc Frydman, and Carsten Lorenz. Kirstin Winkler, Adam Press and Michael Roban will executive produce.
The cast also includes Karl Glusman, Vlademir Alexis, and Alexandre Nachi.
Meyers is best-known for big screen work including "Velvet Goldmine," "Mission: Impossible III" and Woody Allen's "Match Point," and TV fare such as Showtime's "The Tudors" and the recently cancelled "Dracula." He'll soon be seen in Isabel Coixet's "Another Me."

Starting on January 16, 2013, Grandmaster Timur Gareev will compete against Chess.com members in a unique bi-weekly event: He will attempt to break the world record for total number of boards played in a Blindfold Simultaneous match at the end of the calendar year, and he will use our Live Chess server as the arena to prepare himself!
To help him achieve this amazing goal, Chess.com has developed an invisible chess set, which we are releasing for use by ALL members in Live Chess within the week! In "Blindfold Mode," Timur will be able to view only the move lists of each game: He will have no visual indication of the pieces on the board.
To complete a move, he will have to click the square of the piece he intends to move, and then click the target square. The time controls for the simul are rapid: 25 minutes, with a 30-second increment - and not being able to see the pieces will increase the level of difficulty tenfold (ten games each simul)!
On game day, Timur will open up for challenges at 2:00pm Pacific, 5:00pm Eastern - and members will have an opportunity to compete against him on a first-come / first-served basis. (Unlike Timur, these lucky members will, of course, be able to see all the pieces during their game!)
Chess.com will have live coverage of the first event on Chess.com/tv - with commentary by IM Daniel Rensch, as well as pre- and post-match interviews with GM Gareev. Though the format of each bi-weekly simul is still a "work in progress", Chess.com intends to have live webcam footage of Timur as he plays each Simul on Chess.com/tv. The first four dates have already been set and can be found on the Chess.com/tv schedule page!
In addition to actually playing the simul, Grandmaster Gareev will offer a "video lecture recap" of each exhibition match, reviewing the games to highlight the critical and instructional moments for our members.
i am sorry IM chess ace.. :) its that those paragraphs look awfully long to read... i prefer to ask heheehehe
He's training every week here, but he intends to attempt a 50 board simul at some point toward the end of the year, and then bump it up to 64 (in honor of the great 8x8 number that dictates our game ) after that...
This is going to be fun and beat the *bleep* out of The BIG Show ...
Can't wati!!!
the actual record is 46. and his attempt is ...?
@DeepGreene it's become muddied over time however the original interpretation was once every two weeks. eg. Bi-annual is twice a year, bi-ennial is once every two years. I won't spam this thread with any more language issues though :-) just pointing out something that may have open to misinterpretation :-)
Actually bi-weekly can either mean twice per week or once every two weeks.
EDIT: Looks like I was beaten to the point...
Is it not clear? 10 games total each week...
how many challeges will he accept?
Actually, the word should just be stricken from the language at this point...
biweekly |bīˈwēklē|adjective& adverbappearing or taking place every two weeks or twice a week: [ as adj. ] : abiweekly bulletin | [ as adv. ] : she followed her doctor's instructions to undergohealth checks biweekly.noun ( pl. biweeklies )a periodical that appears every two weeks or twice a week.
Very cool! Though I would point out that bi-weekly traditionally means twice a week, not once every two weeks as indicated by the chess TV schedule. Looking forward to it!
Of course Michael, of course...
Are the invisible pieces Retina compatible?

Paris, 1-2 December 2016: Focus areas for the 2016 Global Forum include: competition and protecting human rights; the role of market studies as a tool to promote competition; the independence of competition authorities; and sanctions in antitrust cases.
Dans le sillage de la crise, la reprise de l'activité entrepreneuriale demeure contrastée d'un pays à l'autre, mais de nouvelles données publiées aujourd'hui par l'OCDE laissent augurer d'un possible retournement manifesté par une progression des taux de création d'entreprise dans la plupart des économies.

This report shows how competition and public procurement agencies have been using the 2012 OECD Recommendation on Fighting Bid Rigging to raise awareness of bid rigging risks and develop tools to detect bid rigging in public procurement.
The Greek government and the OECD are working together to assess the costs and benefits of regulations restricting competition in the tourism, retail trade, food processing and construction materials sectors and to propose specific recommendations for change.
Significant corruption, labour, human rights and environmental risks are associated with the organisation of large sporting events. The OECD has instruments and expertise in implementation of complex projects can help host governments, event organisers and their business partners ensure that the world of sport remains associated with the traditional values of excellence and fair play.
Disruptive innovations are beginning to transform legal services and the manner in which they are delivered. Competition authorities can play a role in advocating for regulatory systems that reflect current market realities and ensure market access for pro-competitive disruptive innovations.
The 2016 edition looks at past over-investment in certain sectors, the reversal of the commodity "supercycle"; the implications of low interest rates for corporate and institutional investors; the productivity performance of companies; the profitability of clean energy projects; the fiscal incentives for R&D and innovation.
Kazakhstan's competition system underwent a peer review of its law and regulation at the 2015 Global Forum on Competition on 29-30 October 2015. The report was launched in Astana on 25 May 2016 and provides a throught insight into the current strenghts and weakness of the Kazakhstan competition regime.
This book provides a comprehensive assessment of the innovation policy of Luxembourg. It is the second such OECD review of Luxembourg's innovation system, following an earlier review published in 2007. Since that time, the system has undergone profound change, notably a rapid expansion in the scale and scope of public sector research, which offers new opportunities for Luxembourg, but also new challenges for innovation policy. The review focuses on the role of government and includes concrete recommendations on how to improve policies that affect innovation and R&D performance.
Competition policy is vital for creating opportunities for small business and big industry alike. It benefits consumers by reducing prices and increasing the choice of goods and services. This joint World Bank Group-OECD event showcased countries whose pro-competition reform efforts serve as examples for their regional and international peers and introduced tools to guide the design of new and improved policies.

Butt Plugs
Are They Up Your Alley?
Okay...I've only ever tried a butt plug once in my life, and it sure as hell was troublesome! Damn thing wouldn't stay put! I suspect that's because it was a rather slender one (a beginner butt plug, so to speak). But did it ever feel good! I liked it! Wanna try it again! I see many butt plugs have rather wide heads and narrow necks. They look rather intimidating to me, but I'm willing to give it a try if the end result is worth it (living and learning).
What I tried and don't like is anal sex - being buttfucked. I found the in and out motion seriously uncomfortable. Don't ever want to try that again. So butt plugs rock my world, but actually buttfucking not so much. I'm sure there's plenty of opinions on this. Tell us about your butt plug experiences, the good and
the bad. —Anonymous

Compare all of this to being buttfucked. No control. Constant stretching of the the anal ring. Lots of friction - even with a condom. Not the same thing at all.
