Jan 17, 2009 at 11:44 am #1233307
Hey Y'all! First let me say this site ROCKS! Second…I got the UL Parka, and it also ROCKS! (My appologies, I'll be purchasing a thesaurus shortly.) I do have a point to this post, How do we (Meaning you) change my name here? I used my lovely wife's credit card to sign up here, and now find that my name is Judith instead of Ritz. Now, I'm a fairly progressive guy, but I fear that said lovely wife may eventually see the "Light" and want to join this community, and therein lies the problem. I hope this can be changed…if not, I suppose I'll be speaking in falsetto durring my next post. Peace.Jan 17, 2009 at 11:52 am #1470824

I had this problem too b/c I ordered things from this site using my mom's credit card. First, sign in and go to the "My Account" page (the link is in the top right section of any page on this site). Next, click on "Change My Billing & Shipping Addresses" (the link is on the right under the My Account subheading). Once on that page (it should be titled "Your Account Information"), look under "Primary Address" and change the first name listing. Hope that works for you.Jan 17, 2009 at 11:56 am #1470827

Out of curiosity, anyone know if there's a way to change one's username, as well?Jan 17, 2009 at 6:38 pm #1470924
Joe WestingMember
My guess is that there is no way to change your username unless you somehow get BPL staff to do something about it. Could be wrong about that though.Jan 31, 2009 at 7:13 am #1474263

A username or name change is possible but you must submit a customer service support request and a staffer will take care of it.Jan 31, 2009 at 1:09 pm #1474313
Thanks so much, but it's already done. PeaceFeb 27, 2009 at 9:36 am #1481222

My name is Jim and I use JimQPublic as user name at every web site I frequent. Is it okay to completely leave my last name off in my profile/signature? I have edited it so my first name is Jim (short for James, my legal first name) and last name is "QPublic" (not my real last name!)
I will comply with policy, but would rather leave my last name off if that's acceptable.

Hi JimQP
Why should I worry?
Of course, if you buy something from BPL with a credit card, then your real name will be on the files, but we do NOT release that.
PS: how do you know who I am either?Feb 28, 2009 at 4:17 am #1481465

Thanks guys- I didn't know if it was a strict policy to show full first and last name. My only reason is that my boss is getting into backpacking- I'm trying to steer him to go light. I just didn't want him to note my name and then start comparing my post times with work hours. Of course I'm salaried so it doesn't matter that much.

Scientific awareness –
Scientific awards
There are three major European Commission science
awards. They aim to raise scientific awareness, stimulate
research and encourage young scientists.
EU Descartes Prize
About the Prize
The Descartes Prize is open to teams of scientists
who have achieved outstanding results from European
collaborative research projects. The Prize covers
all areas of scientific endeavour, including health,
safety, energy, the environment and the social sciences.
Entries are not limited to EU-funded projects
Launched in 2000, the first Descartes Prize was awarded
to three projects: one led by Birmingham University
(UK) for their work chemistry close to the absolute
zero; another prize went to a team from Sussex University
(UK) for their innovative work on the XPD gene; and
the third team, led by Philips in Eindhoven (NL),
focused on plastic transistors.
In 2001, the Descartes Prize was awarded two teams
of scientists; the first, led by Leuven University
(BE), shed new light on AIDS drugs, and the other,
which was led by King's College (UK), delved into
asymmetric catalysts for chemical manufacturing.
In 2002, the Descartes Prize was won by two projects
in the fields of medicine and astrophysics. The first,
led by Aarhus University Hospital (DK), provided leading
research into multiple sclerosis, a painful degenerative
disease affecting thousands of Europeans. The second,
led by the University of Amsterdam (NL), unravelled
the mysterious astronomical phenomenon known as gamma
ray bursts, offering insight into how stars and planets
are formed.
In 2003, eight teams were chosen as finalists to
compete for the Grand Prize. The two winners will
be announced in November by Research Commissioner
Busquin and the Grand Jury President Ene Ergma.
To be eligible for the Prize, the minimum number
of participants is two legal entities established
in different Member States of the EU or Associated
States to the Sixth Framework Programme. At least
one of those legal entities must be established in
a Member State or an Associated Candidate Country.
Entries including teams from outside the EU may be
eligible, provided they meet the above requirement.
Qualifying projects must have been completed by the
time of the application; the Prize is not a financial
tool to support research project proposals. The monetary
award is up to €1 million, which is divided
among up to 5 winners.

European Young Scientists Contest
Every year, the EU celebrates its best young scientific
talent at its Young Scientists Contest. Now into its
17th year, this high profile event is open to young
people aged between 15 and 20 years old. Participants
in the contest are the winners of national competitions
held in the EU Member and Associated States.
While demand for scientists and researchers is rising,
the number of young people taking up scientific studies
and careers is dipping. The contest gives Europe's
best young scientific brains a forum to display their
wares and connect with other like-minded youth from
other countries.
The contest aims to reward scientific achievement
and to demonstrate to a wider audience that science
is fun. The contestants, all potential Nobel prize
winners in the making, get the inspirational opportunity
to meet real life Nobel laureates.
The 2004 contest – the 16th – took place
in Dublin, Ireland. It brought together young scientists
from 34 European countries, as well as China and the
USA. Their 73 projects competed for nine top prizes
worth €28 500. The three first prizes went to
a condenser microphone, a method for synthesising
N Methyl Flouexetine in the laboratory, and ultrasonic
detector for gas chromatography.
Under the slogan 'with bright minds to the bright
future', the 2005 event is due to take place
in Moscow, Russia, from 17 to 22 September
2005. The packed contest features some 126
young people from 35 countries exhibiting 79 innovative
information on the EU Young Scientist Contest
The European Commission is planning to launch a prize
for effective scientific communication through the
media.The prize aims to recognise and reward high
quality, entertaining, accurate, and educational scientific
reporting in the media, such as TV programmes, publications,
Internet portals. The details of the prize are currently
under discussion and an announcement will be made
soon. Watch this space!

The PTS PDR offers compact form-factor and unique capabilities for individuals with need for such a low profile design. It is small and thin enough to be carried close to the body via a shoulder holster but is single handedly deployable even from a seated position making it ideal for use in vehicle cabs and tight spaces. Backward compatibility with AR-15/M16 AEG magazines, allows for emergency supplement from personnel carrying standard M16s or M4s. An ultra-compact bullpup-style design keeps the overall length to a minimum while still accommodating a highly effective 11.5 inch barrel.
Watch the PDR-C Review:

Package includes:
In order to address the limitations of existing systems, Magpul Industries began development of the Personal Defense Rifle (PDR) in 2006. This concept is envisioned as an ultra-compact, rifle-caliber personal defense weapon, catered to military officers, non-combat personnel, aircraft/survival E&E, executive protection and airline security. It is designed to fill the unique role between pistol and rifle, by combining the capabilities of the latest generation of PDW systems while greatly reducing any logistical burden. For logistics reasons it was decided that the PDR would use PTS AEG PMAGs and AEG NATO standard USGI-style magazines. Backward compatibility with AEG AR-15/M16 magazines allows for emergency supplement from personnel carrying standard M16s of M4s. The PTS PDR AEG features the most current concept designs that have been envisioned for its real world counterpart.
The PTS PDR upper receiver is unique in housing all the fire control parts. This allows the user to switch in seconds to two different configurations of lower receivers, depending on mission requirements
Designed for use in space restricted areas such as armored vehicles and aircraft. Also suitable missions requiring concealability. Features streamlined "no snag" design, integrated forward grip and shortened tail section.

CME Group to launch three options contracts on KCBT wheat
By Julie Ingwersen
CHICAGO, June 4 (Reuters) - CME Group will launch three wheat options contracts on its Kansas City Board of Trade hard red winter wheat futures beginning July 1, the exchange said on Tuesday.
CME plans to offer two options on popular wheat spreads - KCBT hard red winter wheat versus Chicago Board of Trade soft red winter wheat, and KCBT wheat versus Minneapolis Grain Exchange hard red spring wheat - and weekly KCBT options.
The products' debut follows CME's purchase of the KCBT last year. CME is awaiting final approval of the products from the U.S. futures regulator, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
The options on inter-market spreads will offer market participants another way to trade the price difference between the three U.S. wheat markets, each representing a different wheat variety, analysts said.
"You have different fundamentals on each side, with the stronger demand in Chicago and bigger production, and weaker demand in Kansas City and smaller production," said Ken Smithmier, a grains analyst with the Hightower Report in Chicago.
He noted the Kansas/Chicago wheat spread has been active the past month amid big sales of U.S. soft red wheat to China.
Options on KCBT-MGEX wheat could find favor among speculators and commercial hedgers, including flour millers, interested in trading the price difference between mid-protein Kansas City wheat and the high-protein Minneapolis crop.
A Chicago-based option contract could also answer concerns about liquidity in the smaller MGEX market. Continued...

Last Saturday was spent with Aian and friends at Bayanihan Center in Pasig for this year's Komikon. For those not familiar with the event, Komikon is a yearly gathering of comic artists and enthusiasts from all over the country. (It's kind of like our country's version of Malaysia's Comic Fiesta or Japan's Comiket, though not quite at that level yet.) Because our friend Noko's group Inkjinks was selling indie comics at the event, Aian and I went to show our support~ And to look for promising new indies and merchandise that we could purchase as well. Here are some photos from that day.
...I noticed a lot of my photos were of merchandise and of Noko's drawings. Was a bit too fascinated with that, I think. Too fascinated that I completely forgot to take photos of the people I was with again. So sorry! People-watching has kind of become a habit these days.
And because Aian and I had a lot of free time, as we weren't required to watch Mangaholix's booth or anything, I went ahead and pulled him outside to take some photos while we still had a bit of sun left. This is what I wore for that day, a hippie x mori-mix look ☮
Lonely Planet maxi dress, graphic print T-shirt, vintage crochet vest, Saizen ankle socks, from US leather sandals, bead bracelets + dream catcher necklace.
Really simple layered look. I wanted to be comfortable enough to be able to walk around the place (hence, no heels or platforms) and keep myself warm against the intense power of the air conditioning at Bayanihan Center (I nearly froze myself to death last year.) without having to wear a jacket, since it was going to be hot outside the venue. The vest and shirt over dress combi worked well enough, surprisingly!
Of course, I took a couple of photos of Aian as well. Because we wanted to take advantage of the setting sun and the bokeh from backlit trees hoho~
Aaaaaand it's plugging time! Aian and I are inviting you to TECHNOTEAPOT: A Gothic and Steampunk Tea Party, an art exhibit featuring the works of Dione D'Souza, Maku Felix, and Isobel Francisco. The exhibit will be in LRI Design Plaza in Makati, where it will be open to the public for three days (December 8 - 10). More than just an exhibit, TECHNOTEAPOT is a glamorous tea party that will feature live performances, stylized refreshments, exclusive works and merchandise from talented partners and participants, and elegant service courtesy of Dokissaten Maid & Butler Café.
Being a part of Dokissaten myself (and as a friend to these wonderful trio of artists), I'll be there on the 8th and 9th. I won't be serving though! I'll only be there to show my support.. and to take photos! I wanted to be there on all three days, but on the 10th I'll be in Maquiling School Inc., Los Baños, Laguna with Luisa for Shuuren: Nippon Wonderland, an event organized by UP Japanology Society. (More on that event soon.) Please do come! Everyone is invited to come in their most spectacular gothic / steampunk attire! I'll be on the look out for the most fabulously-dressed people at the event, so who knows, I might just approach you for a photo for my blog! More info on the event here. See you there loves! ♡

Video: The exquisite timing of SNL
posted at 1:15 pm on January 10, 2010 by Ed Morrissey
Do you think Harry Reid was watching SNL last night? Obviously the writers concocted this sketch before anyone knew about Reid's remarks in the Halperin/Heileman book being released tomorrow, but they couldn't have timed this any better if they had tried. I imagine that Lorne Michael's staff was doing some high-fives when the news broke yesterday, knowing this was running after the football game:
That's the funniest thing I've seen in years on SNL. In fact, I could easily have seen South Park doing this same exact skit, with Randy as MacGruber. I expect that Trey and Matt may have something coming up in March that's more specific to Reid.

With photography, I now see the elegance each new day holds. Colors have become brighter, lines more vivid and the beauty in simplicity has become more fascinating than ever before. Pursuing photography has helped me to take a step back and breathe in the world, rather than charging ahead and missing it all. Taking photos has taught me how to see things, rather than merely looking at them – how to admire a late afternoon ray of sun shining through the treetops that seems to paint a picture of it's own, or a cluster of color springing from the dirt beneath our feet. Photos have allowed me the grand opportunity of noticing the small things in life which were intended for us to appreciate - things we often pass by without so much as a glance. I believe that light can articulate a story sometimes better than words set a scene on a page, and I find my happiness when I can manipulate my surroundings to express my own interpretations of beauty.
I have been doing photography for about 6 years now. I started out taking pictures of scenery and wild life. Then I got into taking pictures of people. With my passion and experience I will make your event the most memorable it can be. Offering packages for weddings, graduations, family portraits and many more different events. If you want a memory captured, I can capture it for you. Call or Email Jason for more information or to book. 709-764-8974

Sir Elton John has cancelled a concert in London's Hyde Park because of appendicitis.
The star was due to headline the gig on Friday night, but called in doctors during his European tour.
He was topping a bill which also features Elvis Costello and Ray Davies.
Sir Elton, 66, is now on an intensive course of antibiotics.
A statement on behalf of the singer said he had been diagnosed with an "appendix abscess surrounding retrocaecal appendicitis".
He is expected to undergo surgery in the UK in the next few weeks, when doctors are sure they have reduced toxins around the inflamed appendix sufficiently.
Doctors advised him to cancel all forthcoming shows from his current tour, including the Hyde Park show, which is part of the Barclaycard Presents British Summer Time Festival.
He will not be back on stage until fully recovered from the surgery and the damage caused by the abscess.
A spokesman said: "Elton is incredibly disappointed to postpone these tour dates. To know that he made such super-human efforts and continued to perform to thousands through his illness only confirms his dedication to his European fans.
"He is eager to be back on top form and return to play the remaining shows starting in early September 2013."
Sir Elton was confirmed only today as one of the stars due to play the iTunes Festival at London's Roundhouse in September, alongside Arctic Monkeys and Justin Timberlake.

Below, a sign was still visible on the front door of the former tavern. City reduces nuisance building to rubble By LINDA N. WELLER Telegraph staff writer ALTON — Bulldozers plowed through a former tavern Tuesday, demolishing what had been a magnet for loiterers and streetside drinkers and gamblers. A pile of bricks — some still cemented together in small sections — and pieces of steel, timber and old signage are all that remain of the former Charlie's Lounge, 1001 Highland Ave. Stutz Service Inc. of Alton did the demolition work. Some neighbors helped kick off the cleanup process by scurrying away with bricks for souvenirs and other uses. The lounge had closed earlier this year. Years ago, the building had housed The Plantation bar. "We are trying to improve the neighborhood by eliminate ing that building," said Dennis Dugan, director of housing and community development for the city of Alton. He said the former bar, at the corner of Highland and Gold Street, was detrimental to the surrounding residential area. The former bar also had been costly to the city because of the numerous police calls to the area. "People are trying to live there" and maintain their homes in the neighborhood, Dugan said. The city bought the building for about $70,000 last month from Esther Jackson, using city and federal Community Development funds, Dugan said.

SCHMIDT Telegraph staff writer EDWARDSVILLE Farmers and petroleum mar-win be talking about a meeting this Rep. John Shimkus hanoi, which is made orn, will be the main t a Republican Policy ttee hearing at 2 p.m. in Springfield, kus, R-Collinsville, and other Illinois law-; are trying to head off e restriction on the use by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. He said the EPA is basing its proposal to restrict the mixing of ethanol in gasoline on rules arising from the Clean Air Act. "The head of the EPA (Carol Browner) has said her hands are tied by the Clean Air Act," Shimkus said. "Our response to that is that the agency is not considering the benefits to the environment of ethanol along with the disadvantages." EPA officials said they may restrict the use of ethanol in reformulated gasoline. The mixture has worked well in large cities with severe pollution problems, ethanol backers say. Shimkus said the effort he and other Illinois lawmakers from both parties are making is to convince their colleagues, as well as the EPA, that the benefits of ethanol outweigh the disadvantages. Illinois is the leading ethanol-producing state. Environmentalists have expressed concern that ethanol pollutes the air through evaporation, rather than from being burned in automobiles. That problem may be addressed by a pro posed new experimental ethanol research center at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, Shimkus said. The Policy Committee will meet in room 400 at the State House in Springfield, said Rep. Jerry Weller, R-Morris, vice chairman. The committee has invited witnesses, including Gov. George H. Ryan; Joseph Hampton, Illinois director of agriculture; and Thomas Skinner, Illinois EPA director, Weller said. The findings from the hearing will go to the full House Policy Committee for further consid eration and possible action. Shimkus also announced a series of town hall meetings to discuss agricultural issues in general. A hearing is set for 9:15 a m. Thursday, Aug. 19, in the University Center at SIUE. Hearings are also set for 10:45 a.m. Friday, Aug. 20, at the Macoupin County Courthouse in Carlinville; for 9:45 a-.rn.

Scenic land may be turned into parkGroup, Godfrey seeking to buy Route 3 property By ANDE YAKSTIS Telegraph staff writer • GODFREY - The Great Rivers Land Trust and the village of Godfrey are teaming up to acquire 96 acres of scenic land for a park and nature hiking trails. Great Rivers has initiated a contract with Illinois-American Water Co. to buy the land off Illinois Route 3 along the old Lavista Road to the Oblate Fathers, a Catholic religious order, Great Rivers executive director Wayne*.* Freeman said. The Village of Godfrey has applied for a state grant of $268,000 as its half share to help Great Rivers buy the land for a village recreational park, hiking and nature trails. "If the grant is successful, the village will get 96 acres of prime parkland at no cost to the local taxpayer," Godfrey Mayor Michael Campion said. Great Rivers has started a capital campaign to raise about $268,000 as its share to buy the land from Illinois-American by July I, 2000. "It's beautiful land for a park," Campion said. "It would be a big step forward for Godfrey for future development of parkland." The 96 acres of land border Route 3 on the north and, on the south, connect to a hiking ♦trail leading through woods to the Great River Road.

The oft-delayed jury trial of Ricky E. Callahan, 23, of Jerseyville, started Tuesday in Jersey County Circuit Court. A long line of eyewitnesses Defendant accused.of killing one, wounding four others recalled the night when Callahan allegedly stabbed five patrons in Lorton's Bar in Jerseyville. The witnesses were called by Jersey County State's Attorney Gail Gisy. Assisting Gisy is Keith Jensen, a part-time assistant with the office of Illinois Attorney General Jim Ryan. Callahan is charged with first-degree murder in the killing of Ronald E. Haenitch of rural Jerseyville, who was stabbed with a pocket knife, which pierced his heart. Two other men suffered internal abdominal injuries, while a woman was stabbed in the back and another man was cut on the neck. Callahan also faces attempted murder and armed violence charges for the injuries to the four surviving victims. He had no previous connection to any of the victims. The incident apparently followed a woman's refusal to dance with Callahan. Stephen Garrett of Carrollton testified about how he politely asked Callahan to leave his sister alone. Callahan then walked calmly away to another part of the bar. "I thought everything was done," Garrett said. Then Garrett, having a drink alone at the bar, said he saw Callahan approaching and thought the defendant was going to say something into his ear in the noisy establishment. However, he said Callahan cut the side of his neck with a knife. Garrett said he pushed the attacker away, and Callahan tried to cut him again. While Garrett's injuries were being tended to, the bartenders asked two patrons to escort Callahan out of the bar, which since has been closed. ■ See SPREE, Page A-11 ;

Stocks defended thin gains in weak trade Tuesday, as the pre-Christmas session rolled toward its early close.
The Dow Jones industrial average and the S&P 500 each showed 0.3% gains. The Nasdaq held just above the break-even level, up not quite 0.1%. Volume remained well below Monday's trading levels.
The stock market today met with mixed economic news. Durable goods orders and another increase in the Federal Housing Finance Agency's Housing Price Index were both better-than-expected. November new home sales were tepid, and suggested the market is struggling to maintain growth.
Homebuilder stocks generally reacted positively, however, with Beazer Homes (BZH) surging 4%, and Taylor Morrison (TMHC) and Standard Pacific (SPF) up 3% each.
Tesla Motors (TSLA) surged 7% in powerful trade, retaking support at its 10-week moving average. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration late Monday reaffirmed its 5-star safety rating of the Tesla Model S overall and in all subcategories for Model Year 2014.
The company is waiting on results from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's investigation into recent fires involving Model S cars. The company reported that a similar investigation by the German Federal Motor Transport Authority found no manufacturer-related defects.
The stock has climbed in three of four recent weeks, after correcting 40% in the two months to the end of November.
Wynn Resorts (WYNN) jumped 3% in sturdy trade to grab a new high. The casino operator is 9% above a 173.48 flat-base buy point.

Dirty Cows
9pm, Living
Take 10 vain countryphobic city women, Tara PT and a "single, macho and minted" member of the landed gentry, and you get this. And no, no matter how many times they repeat it, referring to the 10 female contestants as "the Dirty Cows" doesn't get any less jaw-droppingly dreadful. By the time you reach the elimination stage, where women who will muck out the stables for another week are accepted back into the welly-booted whinger sorority with: "You ... are a lucky cow!" and presented with a Best-in-Show-type rosette, you realise that, in fact, this must really be a complex and brilliant satire of sexual politics and the reality genre. Please God.
Diana's Last Summer
9pm, ITV1
Is there no end to variations on the same story marking the 10th anniversary of Diana's death? Seemingly not. Unusual, though, to hear it from the point of view of the relentless paparazzi and the picture editors who snapped up their shots. There almost seems something weirdly naughty about listening to the scapegoats' side, as they assert that it wasn't their fault, guv'nor, and that she practically paid them to attend her every move.
Will & Grace
11pm, Channel 4
Imagine: it is January 2006, when this special live episode aired in the US; 30 minutes of seat-of-the-pantscom. You're paralysed by the prospect of a live-on-air blunder: a fall, a fit of giggles, a nervous burp. Now imagine yourself catapulted back to today, realising that you're actually just watching a slightly flatter version of the normal show, with the magnificent timing slightly off and an entire cast who look like they stopped having fun about three seasons ago. Well, it's kind of like that.
David Beckham's Soccer USA
7.15pm, Five
They've managed to fill the series so far with profiles of unidentifiable US footballers - sorry, soccerers - and lengthy features on the US Wags; but Five must be glad that, some weeks into the series, Dave has recovered from whatever gammy knee or dry scalp problem was afflicting him, and finally the Beckham's blog segment won't just feature a pretty man peeping: "Yeah, it's frustrating, it still hurts. We have decided on the new curtains, though."

Legwand will be an unrestricted free agent on July 1st. In return, the Red Wings gave up Patrick Eaves, Grand Rapids center Calle Jarnkrok, and a 2014 third-round pick that will become a second-round pick if the Red Wings make the playoffs. Legwand played in 62 games with Nashville with 10 goals and 30 assists for 40 points. Detroit will host Colorado at the Joe tonight, and the organization will honor former captain Nicklas Lidstrom.
Reigning American League Cy Young winner Max Scherzer threw 3 scoreless innings in the Tigers' (3-0) victory over the Houston Astros yesterday in Grapefruit League action. This afternoon, Justin Verlander is scheduled to start in a split squad game against the Phillies in Lakeland. It will be Verlander's first spring appearance since undergoing core muscle surgery during the offseason. First pitch is 1:05pm.

MLB Mock Draft: Brady Aiken emerges as No. 1 pick
In the first round of the 2014 MLB draft, which takes place tonight, teams will be forced to make a crucial decision: Should they go with a project or a safe pick?
The difference is a matter of how long a team is willing to wait to see their potential star of the future contribute. Will they go with a raw, talented player who will take time to progress through the minors? Or will they gravitate toward a mature player who is relatively close to the majors? Luckily for Houston, which holds the No. 1 pick, Brady Aiken is both: A 17-year-old high school lefthander, Aiken is a pitcher with top of the scale stuff, poise, command and mechanics. He is as safe a choice as a high schooler can possibly be, which is why he is listed first overall in our final mock draft. I'll be back during tonight's first round to break down each selection one-by-one.
NOTES: Teams choose in reverse order of wins from last season. First-round and compensation round picks can not be traded.
There are 27 first-round picks because four teams (the Braves, Orioles, Rangers and Yankees) forfeited their first-round selections after signing free agents who received qualifying offers from their previous teams and another (the Blue Jays) gained a pick after failing to sign its first-round choice from last year.
All stats through June 4.
1. Houston Astros
Brady Aiken
Position: LHP
Size: 6-foot-4, 210
School: Cathedral Catholic High, San Diego, Calif.
Clayton Kershaw was a high-school left-hander from Texas who wound up in southern California; Aiken is a high-school lefty from southern California who should wind up in Texas. Boasting a 94 mph fastball and with an outstanding curve and change, Aiken has already impressed Houston as a teenager. But the Astros are even more enthralled with what he could be when he is in his mid-20s.
2. Miami Marlins
Carlos Rodon
Position: LHP
Size: 6-3, 235 lbs
School: North Carolina State
Many draft pundits are convinced Miami will choose Rodon because his Cuban heritage would provide a connection to south Florida's Cuban community. The Marlins are more attracted to the fact that Rodon is a heck of a pitcher, with a high 90s fastball and a monster slider.
3. Chicago White Sox
Tyler Kolek
Position: RHP
Size: 6-5, 230
School: Shepherd (Texas) High
Questions regarding Kolek's stamina and secondary pitches are abundant, yet no one questions the raw, blistering velocity of his fastball, which can touch 100 mph. Chicago will determine if he is a closer or a starter in the minors, but right now, the White Sox are drawn to Kolek's stunning arm strength.
ATKINS: Kolek's 100 mph fastball recalls legend of Colt Griffin
4. Chicago Cubs
Kyle Freeland
Position: LHP
Size: 6-4, 185
School: Evansville University
The Cubs want a catcher, but Alex Jackson, who plays that position right now, may not stick behind the plate. With that in mind Chicago will probably opt to add pitching to a system well stocked with position player talent. This draft is rife with quality pitching, and Freeland looks to be the best of many available mound choices.
5. Minnesota Twins
Alex Jackson
Position: Catcher, Bats right/Throws right
Size: 6-2, 210
School: Rancho Bernardo High, Escondido, Calif.
Blessed with excellent raw power and a terrific throwing arm, the main question concerning Jackson is his eventual defensive position. Minnesota is an unusually patient organization and, if the Twins deign Jackson to be a backstop, they will give him ample time to develop.
6. Seattle Mariners
Nick Gordon,
Position: SS, BL/TR
Size: 6-2, 180
School: Olympia High, Orlando, Fla.
Scattered talk about Gordon going 1-1 (i.e. first overall) has recently popped up, but his bat may not merit that position. Gordon, the son of former MLB closer Tom Gordon and the brother of Dodgers second baseman Dee, has speed, outstanding defensive actions and a strong arm. As a bonus, he has pro bloodlines and the type of athleticism Seattle needs.
7. Philadelphia Phillies
Sean Newcomb
Position: LHP
Size: 6-5, 240
School: Hartford University
High school slugger Jacob Gatewood is a candidate at this spot, but the Phillies need a pitcher, preferably one who can reach the City of Brotherly Love quickly. Physically imposing, Newcomb has seen a meteoric rise in his draft prospects this spring.
8. Colorado Rockies
Max Pentecost
Position: C, BR/TR
Size: 6-1, 190
School: Kennesaw State
Colorado finds itself in a maddening position with this pick. It's well known in scouting circles that the Rockies crave pitching, and they will have many enviable options if they go that route. But Colorado also needs a catcher, and Pentecost is by far the best candidate in a draft that's thin on backstops.
9. Toronto Blue Jays
Aaron Nola
Position: RHP
Size: 6-1, 195
School: LSU
After failing to sign their No. 1 pick last year, the Blue Jays have set themselves up to have a great draft. Sources say Toronto will make a safe selection at No. 9 and then gamble at No. 11. Nola is as safe a pick as they come: a mature college pitcher with excellent secondary pitches and a knack for pounding the lower half of the strike zone.
10. New York Mets
Bradley Zimmer
Position: OF, BL/TR, OF
Size: 6-5, 205
School: University of San Francisco
In the past three drafts, the Mets have chosen high school position players who may not arrive at Citi Field until the end of this decade. With the 10th pick, New York could go for a player whose timetable is shorter and could quickly produce results. Zimmer is an advanced college outfielder who flashes multi-tool ability.
11. Toronto Blue Jays
Monte Harrison,
Position: OF, BR/TR
Size: 6-2, 195
School: Lee's Summit (Mo.) West High
Should the Blue Jays elect to go with a mature college pitcher at No. 9, they could take a gander on a tools-laden high school position player here at 11, with Harrison and Derek Hill the best options. Both are terrific athletes with outstanding speed, but in scouting, the bat trumps all. That gets Harrison gets the nod.
12. Milwaukee Brewers
Jacob Gatewood,
Position: SS, BR/TR
Size: 6-5, 190
School: Clovis (Calif.) High
The Phillies, Rockies and Mariners have all shown interest in Gatewood, a lanky youngster with a cannon for an arm and easy power. Sources indicate that Milwaukee is the most intense suitor for Gatewood, formerly a top high school quarterback prospect who is gifted with freakishly long arms -- his shirt sleeves measure 38 inches.
13. San Diego Padres
Michael Chavis
Position: 3B, BR/TR
Size: 5-11, 190
School: Sprayberry High, Marietta, Ga.
Desperate for offense, the Padres understand that this draft does not contain a glut of hitters. If San Diego desires more immediate help, it may opt for Michael Conforto, Casey Gillaspie or Kyle Schwarber. But on a long-term basis, the premier hitter still available at this stage could be Chavis, a stocky righthander whose swing makes a sharp sound upon impact.
14. San Francisco Giants
Derek Hill
Position: OF, BR/TR
Size: 6-2, 180
School: Elk Grove (Calif.) High
No high school position player has shown as much upward mobility this spring as Hill, the son of a Dodgers scout. Sources say the Giants are so enamored of the speedy Hill that they have donated equipment, including baseballs, to the Elk Grove program.
15. Los Angeles Angels
Touki Toussaint
Position: RHP
Size: 6-2, 195
School: Coral Springs Christian Academy, Coral Springs, Fla.
Toussaint has an electric arm, firing a mid 90s fastball with a snapping curve. If chosen here, he could soon become a valuable contributor to an Angels' staff that has struggled to have much depth in recent years.
16. Arizona Diamondbacks
Trea Turner
Position: SS, BR/TR
Size: 6-1, 175
School: North Carolina State
Turner suffered a slow start to the 2014 college season, but he rebounded and is now the only college middle infielder considered to be a first-round candidate. He is speedy and a fine defender, and if his bat shows results, Turner could move up the minors fast, giving Arizona a much-needed boost of athleticism.
17. Kansas City Royals
Grant Holmes
Position: RHP
Size: 6-0, 210
School: Conway (S.C.) High
Holmes is the hardest throwing high school righty in this draft after Kolek, and Kansas City has struggled in developing a staff ace within its own system. The Royals would be delighted to snag Holmes, who in a less pitching-rich year would be a top 10 selection.
18. Washington Nationals
Tyler Beede
Position: RHP
Size: 6-4, 215
School: Vanderbilt
Beede has a top five arm, but erratic results this spring may have dropped him down about 10-15 spots. The Nationals would be delighted if Beede falls this far; if the Vanderbilt righty finds some consistency, he could be as good as a No. 2 starter in the majors.
19. Cincinnati Reds
Sean Reid-Foley
Position: RHP
Size: 6-3, 210
School: Sandalwood High, Jacksonville, Fla.
The Reds prefer to develop their starting rotation in-house; four of their five starting pitchers in 2014 began their careers with Cincinnati and their future staff could be similarly homegrown. Reid-Foley is a talented young righty who could one-day blend into a Reds staff with recent draft choices Robert Stephenson, Michael Lorenzen and Nick Travieso.
20. Tampa Bay Rays
Casey Gillaspie
Position: 1B, BB/TL
Size: 6-4, 238
School: Wichita State
It's simple: Tampa Bay needs offense. The Rays are 11th in the AL this season in homers, 13th in runs scored and 13th in OPS. Tampa Bay will not have a large array of hitters to choose from here, but Gillaspie may be the best available. This season, he hit 15 homers with a .389/.520/.682 line.
21. Cleveland Indians
Michael Conforto
Position: OF, BL/TR
Size: 6-2, 215
School: Oregon State
The Indians pay little attention to the defensive position of a potential draftee, evaluating the bat first and then deciding where to place the player. Conforto is similar to incumbent Cleveland star Jason Kipnis in that he does not have an obvious defensive position, but is a smart, patient hitter with a professional swing and approach.
22. Los Angeles Dodgers
Kodi Medieros
Position: LHP
Size: 6-0, 185
School: Waiakea High, Hilo, Hawaii
Tall, physical lefties like Aiken, Freeland and Newcomb have surpassed Medieros in this draft, partly because he has not been as good this spring as he was in his summer showcase performances last year. Still, the Hawaiian lefty has a superb arm, flashing a mid-90s fastball and Frisbee curve.
23. Detroit Tigers
Nick Burdi
Position: RHP
Size: 6-4, 215
School: Louisville
The Tigers love big, hard-throwing righties and are in need of a closer, making Burdi an ideal fit. He is close to unhittable at the college level, delivering an upper 90s fastball and displaying an aggressive approach. On a "need" basis, Burdi may reach the majors sooner than any other first-round pick in this draft.
24. Pittsburgh Pirates
Brandon Finnegan
Position: LHP
Size: 5-11, 185
School: Texas Christian University
Aside from Gerrit Cole, the Pirates' current starting rotation is comprised of veteran retreads. Finnegan would be selected much higher if he had not been beset by a sore shoulder this year, although he was able to return to the mound later in the season. A stocky lefty with a live arm, Finnegan could one day give the Bucs a solid second starter behind Cole.
25. Oakland Athletics
Michael Gettys
Position: OF, BR/TR
Size: 5-11, 200
School: Gainesville (Ga.) High
The A's have gone against the "Moneyball" template and selected athletic high school position players in recent drafts like shortstops Addison Russell and Daniel Robertson in 2012 and outfielder Billy McKinney in 2013. If they continue on that path, Gettys would be a nice fit. He runs extremely well, has a powerful arm and exhibits above-average bat speed.
26. Boston Red Sox
Jeff Hoffman
Position: RHP
Size: 6-4, 192
School: East Carolina
Hoffman was a 1-1 candidate until Tommy John surgery derailed his 2014 college season. The Red Sox may draft and sign Hoffman for a reduced price, let him heal and bring him along patiently. If he recovers fully, Hoffman could be the rare staff ace stolen at the bottom of the first round.
27. St. Louis Cardinals
Kyle Schwarber
Position: Catcher, BL/TR
Size: 6-0, 240
School: Indiana University
The Cardinals have shown a magic touch in recent drafts, such as taking young pitching stud Michael Wacha No. 19 overall two years ago, and they'll have to use it again to find the power hitter they desperately need (St. Louis has hit just 32 home runs this season, the fewest in the National League). Schwarber provides power (14 home runs) and impressive on-base skills (.464 OBP).

Now in its 16th year of telling the gospel story through breath-taking living displays of art, the Living Gallery at Bob Jones University has become an Upstate Easter tradition.
Programs will be March 28-30 at 4:30 and 7:30 p.m. with an additional program March 30 at 2 p.m.
This year's Living Gallery features an all-new original drama "The Shadow of the Cross." It tells the story of those connected closest with Jesus Christ.
Director Paul Radford said, "The Living Gallery focuses on what the characters in the art would say if they could speak. The characters include the kneeling centurion from Rembrandt's The Three Crosses, Mary the mother of Christ from Michelangelo's Pieta, and Judas Iscariot from DaVinci's Last Supper. The drama is set during the dark window of time between the Crucifixion and the Resurrection, when all were unaware that Christ's triumph over death was just moments away."
Tickets are $11 for adults and $9 for children ages 6-12. Tickets may be purchased at the BJU Programs and Production box office from noon to 5 p.m., Monday-Friday.

Edit Article
wikiHow to Get Antidepressants
Antidepressants are medications prescribed to individuals to help treat depression, anxiety, addiction, eating disorders, chronic pain, and other various psychiatric disorders and health conditions. In most industrialized countries such as the United States and Canada, antidepressants can only be legally obtained through prescriptions issued to you by your healthcare provider.
1Make an appointment with your healthcare provider. A psychiatrist or family physician can perform an examination and speak with you about why you feel you might need antidepressants to treat depression or your health condition. In most cases, meeting with a psychiatrist is considered ideal since psychiatrists specialize in mental health disorders, have more experience working with antidepressants, and can prescribe one or more antidepressants that can work best for you based on your condition.[1]
2Be as specific as possible when describing your depression symptoms to your doctor. Providing as many details as possible can give your doctor the insight needed to correctly diagnose your disorder and prescribe the right type of antidepressant. For example, those diagnosed with bipolar disorder may need at least two different medications to help manage manic and depressive phases, whereas those with anxiety disorder may only need one specific type of medication.
- Mention physical symptoms of depression such as insomnia and lack of energy, as well as mental symptoms such as sadness or feelings of helplessness.
3Explain to your doctor the cause behind your stress and depression. Being able to identify the root cause behind your stress and depression can help your doctor properly diagnose and treat your condition, as well as prescribe the right type of medication.
4Inform your doctor about the length of time during which you've been feeling sad or depressed. In most cases, individuals who've been experiencing long-term stress are often the best candidates for antidepressants. Those experiencing short-term stress or depression due to being separated from a partner or laid off work may not be considered ideal candidates for antidepressants.
5Explain to your doctor the steps you've already taken in an attempt to treat depression on your own. This can help your doctor better understand which treatments may or may not work to help improve your condition. For example, inform your doctor of any drugs or medications you've taken in an attempt to treat depression, and whether you've been exercising more frequently or eating healthier foods to improve your condition.
6Ask your doctor about potential side effects caused by the antidepressants being prescribed. Some medications can interfere with existing medications you're currently taking, or have side effects that can worsen depression, such as weight loss, sexual dysfunction, or insomnia.[2]
- During your appointment, mention your concerns about potential side effects so your doctor can prescribe an antidepressant that won't interfere negatively with your current lifestyle.
7Obtain the prescription note from your doctor. Most antidepressant medications are only available via prescription and can be obtained from a licensed pharmacist. Before you leave the doctor's office, make sure your doctor provides you with a prescription for the antidepressant.
- Additionally, find out more about the cost of your medication and whether it will be covered by your health insurance provider, if applicable. Certain antidepressants may be more costly than most other types of prescription drugs.
8Take the prescription note to a local pharmacy to have your prescription filled. Many commercial drugstore and pharmacy chains are open 24 hours a day, seven days per week so you can fill your prescription and begin treatment immediately.
9Adhere to your doctor's instructions closely when taking your medication. Taking less or more than the recommended dosage can increase your risk for side effects and other health problems. If at any point you feel the need to increase your dosage to better treat your depression, consult with your doctor first to receive approval or to discuss alternate treatments.

If this question (or a similar one) is answered twice in this section, please click here to let us know.
- Try to view antidepressants as a tool that can help you become healthier, instead of as a solution to any crisis or problems you may be facing in your life. Evidence has shown that antidepressants can upset your body's natural chemical balance, and may not be considered an ideal treatment for all individuals suffering from depression.[3]
- Consider looking into treating depression naturally before consulting with your doctor to obtain a prescription for antidepressants. Engaging in regular exercise, practicing good nutrition, getting more sleep, and spending more time with friends and family can often help treat and reverse depression naturally. Treating depression naturally can also help prevent you from experiencing adverse side effects associated with taking antidepressants, or from experiencing withdrawal symptoms down the road when you no longer need to treat depression.
- Don't get antidepressants from friends or family members, since their dosages and medication types may not be compatible with your type of depression, mental disorder, or health situation. Always consult with your doctor before taking prescribed medications to lower your risk for major illness and worsened depression.
- Most antidepressants take approximately six weeks to reach their full therapeutic effect. Be patient for results, and keep in mind that you may need to try several different medications before you find the antidepressant that works best for you.

Great Wedding CeremonyReviewed on 9/27/2015 Erin B
We loved working with Grant of Tie the Knot Wedding Ceremonies! Grant was so helpful the entire time we were planning our wedding. He was easy to get a hold of whenever we had questions, which was what we needed since we were planning our wedding from another state. He always... Read More made time for us via email and Skype to go over our ceremony notes. On the day of our wedding, he helped organized everyone for us and made sure everyone knew their roles; he was a big part of the reason our wedding day ran so smoothly. You can tell Grant has a passion for people and what he does. Thanks for everything, Grant!
Grant did such an amazing job with our wedding ceremony. It was everything that we had hoped for and more! He made everything so stress free and easy that I didn't have to worry about anything! During the walk through the night before, he made sure that everyone knew where they... Read More were going and that we felt comfortable with what was going to happen the next day before we left. The ceremony was short like we wanted and included everything that we described to him. We can not say thank you enough to him for the ceremony he put together!
My wife and I had the pleasure of working alongside Grant whom helped us design, plan and execute a truly memorable wedding ceremony. The number of compliments received from guests was truly remarkable. From the beginning, we knew Grant was the perfect fit for what we were... Read More trying to accomplish. Not only did he spend 1.5 hours at our introductory meeting getting to know us as a couple, he came prepared with thoughts/ideas/suggestions as well as a solid outline of next steps in the process. As we worked through planning out the ceremony, step-by-step, Grant always made himself available and was extremely timely in his responses. As we got closer to our wedding date, Grant was there to check in and confirm everything was in order - he even took the time, the week of our wedding, to place separate calls to each of us just for the sake of saying hi! Not only was this reassuring but he also had great words of wisdom during the sometimes-stressful days leading up to the big day. As the big day finally rolled around, Grant was the consummate professional and executed his role flawlessly. He was a calming influence throughout and really helped make our wedding ceremony a special event. We can't thank Grant enough for all the time and effort he put forth and would recommend him to anyone and everyone. Thanks Grant!!!!!
We got the pleasure of working with Anna for our wedding. We could not have asked for anyone better to marry us. We really enjoyed working with her. Her calming attitude and voice really played a role in the feel before and during the ceremony. She made us feel very relaxed and... Read More happy. When we met with her for the first time, I really liked the questions she asked us to get to know us better. We also both really liked the ceremony rough draft she came up with for us. It really kind of felt personalized to fit us and there wasn't much at all that we changed from it. Thank you Anna so much for such a wonderful wedding ceremony!
Tie the Knot Wedding Ceremonies did an amazing job for us. We had the pleasure of working with Melanie. We appreciated her following our wishes to make our ceremony simple but yet elegant, quick and to the point. She made us feel very comfortable with everything. We decided to... Read More not do a rehearsal and we literally talked about what we were going to do 30 minutes before the ceremony. Melanie made sure that we were ready and everything after that was "whatever!" It went so smoothly and so fast and that is exactly what we wanted. I highly recommend these guys! And thank you so much Melanie, for everything!
Thank you Mel!Reviewed on 5/09/2015 Ruth W
Mel was great to work with. She helped us look at our relationship in a new way during our counseling and understand ourselves as a team. She gave advice and insight on things that helped us for our wedding. Our ceremony was personalized and quick which is good since we wanted... Read More that. Thank you Mel for everything!
Grant is the best!Reviewed on 11/23/2014 Liza P
Kevin and I were lucky enough to meet and work with Grant for our March 2014 wedding. Although we hadn't known each other long before the wedding, Grant was able to uniquely personalize the ceremony. I get complements all the time on how great he was and how much people loved... Read More that he really knew us when performing the ceremony - which is something that not all couples are lucky enough to find. Grant offered tons of suggestions where we wanted them and also let us customize the ceremony as much as we wanted. He was great on the day of the wedding, and kept everyone in the wedding party laughing during the rehearsal and pre-ceremony. I would HIGHLY recommend using Grant as your officiant!!!
Thank you Anna!Reviewed on 11/20/2014 Andrea L
We had the pleasure of working with Anna for our wedding. She was patient, kind and easy to work with. Initially I was a little concerned because we live out of state so wouldn't be able to meet her in person. We ended up meeting via skype and she made us feel comfortable... Read More throughout the entire process. Anna made sure that everything went smoothly the day of and we were definitely happy to have her there!

Black Ian's Rocks Mostly Trad climbing131 routes in crag
Did you know?
Did you know that you can create an account to record, track and share your climbing ascents? Thousands of climbers are already doing this.
Stats and downloads
Get directions to here using Google Maps.
North facing single pitch climbing known for its good cracks around 18. Despite the frenzy of development, the new sport routes are average. Recent rebolting of some older face routes should make them more appealing.
Access issues
Black Ians is a part of Red Rock Bushland Reserve. Parks Victoria has no information regarding this area, other than it's location. As such, treat as any other reserve in Victoria.
Where to stay
The landowner allows camping just below the crag for a small fee. Please use the honesty box.
To protect Aboriginal art work at Black Ian's Rocks, the VCC requests that you do not boulder in the camping cave and avoid these three routes 'No Rest For The Wicked', 'Jump For Joy' and 'In The Cooler'. It would also be appreciated if climbers used the left hand cracks to start 'Traversity Of Justice' and 'Malicious Intent'.

SATURDAY started perfectly for me with two advised winners in the Celtic v Aberdeen game at 7-2 and 11-4.
It ended miserably with Aleksander Kolarov's missed penalty but that's the gamble and I'm hoping Sunday brings me better luck.
And while there is some skill involved in picking winners every punter needs some luck.
The big game in Scotland on Sunday sees Hibs tackle Rangers in the Championship trying to end their perfect record.
As Rangers face their biggest test of the season McBookie are offering 20-1 they will manage to go through the whole campaign with a perfect record. They have won the first 11 and the bookies go just 2-1 Rangers can remain unbeaten for the whole season.
Alan Stubbs's Hibs are 1-1 at William Hill to stop the Ibrox side's winning streak at 11 and I reckon they can do it. Rangers have gone off the boil recently but are still picking up the points.
St Mirren, Livingston and Queen of the South have been beaten by one and another single-goal Gers' victory pays 14-5 at Ladbrokes.
Jason Cummings and Martyn Waghorn are the in-form strikers in the league and both to score pays 9-2 with William Hill.
Hibs ran Mark Warburton's men close at the start of the season with a 1-0 loss at Ibrox after a 6-2 trouncing in the Challenge Cup and have won four in a row with a League Cup quarter-final meeting to come against Dundee Utd on Wednesday.
The Hibees will have backers at a best 17-5 with McBookie and I can see them drawing. That pays a best 13-5 at Ladbrokes and William Hill.
There are two matches in the Premier League – Everton v Sunderland and Southampton v Bourenmouth – so nothing to get too excited about.
Sunderland will be on a high after their 3-0 defeat of Newcastle and Sam Allardyce knows how to keep sides up. They're road record is poor but the Toffees have come unstuck a few times at home this season, winning just once in the league, and I can Sunderland nicking a point as they've won on their last two visits to Goodison.
Goalscoring has been a problem but Steven Fletcher is back on form and could take advantage of the fact Everton are without three defenders – Leighton Baines, Seamus Coleman and Phil Jagielka. Best bet here could be both teams to score at 19-20 at betfair.
From a betting point of view I prefer the south-coast derby at St Mary's. Bournemouth have conceded 14 goals in their last five away matches and defended abysmally in losing 5-1 at home to Spurs last Sunday – their second 5-1 bashing in a row.
Southampton beat Chelsea (it doesn't seem such a big deal now) and drew at Liverpool in their last two and are boosted by the return of star man Sadio Mane who is 6-4 with bet365 to score. Saints are not big at 4-7 with the likes of bet365 and William Hill but should win.
I like Saints and both to score at 12-5 with bet365 as Bournemouth have netted in their last and Graziano Pelle to score at 6-5 is another bet I like.

There is 16GB of storage and there are some nice extras including a micro HDMI port and micro USB port to allow your media to be viewed on a big screen.
All in all this is a very good, low priced large screen tablet that is perfect for those seeking a more affordable alternative to an Apple iPad.
