Pride before fall for plucky Cliftonville
Battling part-timers can hold heads high
CELTIC 2 CLIFTONVILLE 0 Celtic won 5-0 on aggregate. If there was ever a Champions League clash in which the result mattered little, this was it. Ignore the minor detail of the aggregate score.
Celtic's display of ruthless finishing at Solitude killed off Cliftonville's European dream last week but this Parkhead adventure was always going to spark lifelong memories for the visitors.
This match was about a north Belfast side's trip to Paradise. There was a slight anti-climatic feel to the occasion given the Hoops' 3-0 advantage from the first leg but the 1,500-strong travelling Red Army were still in party mood and fine voice.
As expected, Celtic ran out winners, the goals coming from Efe Ambrose (16) and Georgios Samaras (70), but Cliftonville showed no signs of stage fright and keeper Conor Devlin rose to the occasion with a string of fine saves.
But Tommy Breslin and his men have never before dined at this top table.
Call it Celtic Park, Paradise or Parkhead, it doesn't matter. This Cliftonville team are familiar with Belfast's Shore Road, Mersey Street or Donegall Avenue, not Glasgow's Kerrydale Street and this magnificent venue.
This all-seater stadium, much noisier when it's packed to the rafters with 60,355 fans, has hosted more magical European battles.
Whatever the scoreline, this was always going to be a magical night for everyone associated with the Reds and young Oscar Knox, Celtic mascot for the day and an inspiration to everyone who has followed his brave fight against cancer.
But this wasn't Celtic 4 Juventus 3 in 2001, Celtic 2 Lyon 0 in 2003, Celtic 1 Manchester United 0 in 2006, Celtic 2 AC Milan 1 in 2007 or Celtic 2 Barcelona 1 last November.
Over the years Europe's premier clubs have felt intimidated by the Hoops' passionate support so it was possible to feel a little nervous for the newly crowned Danske Bank Premiership champions.
Hopes of winning 4-0 at Parkhead and booking a date with Swedish champions Elfsborg may have been extremely slim but the north Belfast side were keen to avoid a heavy loss.
Parkhead chief Neil Lennon named the same starting 11 who did the job in style at Solitude last Wednesday and included Gary Hooper on the bench.
Eamonn Seydak and Tomas Cosgrove started for the Reds while Ronan Scannell and Joe Gormley made way to join the replacements.
The hosts started on the front foot but Devlin kept out two headers from Samaras.
At Solitude, Cliftonville held out for 25 minutes until Mikael Lustig struck. On their own patch, the Hoops were celebrating in the 16th minute.
Centre-back Ambrose directed a glancing downward header past Devlin from six yards after Anthony Stokes picked the 24-year-old Nigerian out.
Cliftonville attempted to reply quickly but Ciaran Caldwell's header from Stephen Garrett's left wing delivery was always dropping wide of the target.
In the 25th minute a long range rasping drive from Kris Commons stung Devlin's hands.
The visitors threatened from a corner but Marc Smyth's drive deflected to safety.
After the break the Reds played with composure, offering no hint they were being overawed by the occasion.
Cliftonville breathed a huge sigh of relief in the 61st minute when Scott Brown fed Stokes but the Republic of Ireland striker wasted a golden chance.
Celtic, though, did double their lead in the 70th minute, a close range downward header from Samaras inflicting the damage at the end of Commons' cross.
Substitute Hooper's overhead free-kick bounced back off the base of the post.
Sent into the fray were former Celtic starlet Diarmuid O'Carroll while Amido Balde made his competitive debut for the Hoops.
Cliftonville were awarded a late free-kick in the Hoops' penalty area after Fraser Forster scooped up Wilson's back pass but Gormley's low drive was deflected to safety.
No goals, no victory, but plenty of precious memories.
Celtic: Forster 6, Izaguirre 7, Ambrose 9, Wilson 7, Brown 7, Samaras 9, Stokes 7 (Hooper 6, 65), Commons 8, Lustig 8, Kayal 7 (Rogic 65, 6), Forrest 7 (Balde 65, 6). Subs (not used): Zaluska, Watt, Mouyokolo, McGregor.

2014 MLB Draft: The Final Mock
This is it.....Mock 6.0, or better termed, the final mock.
With so much to talk about there is no space for a proper intro, so let's begin.
1. Houston Astros - Brady Aiken, LHP, HS
I am going back to who I have as the top player in this draft and Aiken is worth it. Since October he has been a top 15 talent and his jump in velocity just sealed the deal. He has all the tools to be the top left-handed pitching prospect in baseball from day one.
2. Miami Marlins - Carlos Rodon, LHP, NC State
I read a report earlier in the year that this was Rodon's floor because he would be such a good draw because of the Cuban populace in Miami. This seemed like a stretch, but he is the pick. The reason is he is a consensus top three talent with an arsenal to go number one. The Marlins are a conservative drafting team and here they get the college arm with the most upside and a nice floor.
3. Chicago White Sox - Tyler Kolek, RHP, HS
I am much happier about Kolek's placement in this mock. His upside is pretty amazing. The reason is he is built like a college linebacker and has reportedly hit 102 MPH this year. The White Sox have been taking more and more upside bets under Hahn and there is no bigger upside bet on the board than Kolek.
4. Chicago Cubs - Jeff Hoffman, RHP, East Carolina
I am sticking here, making this my Waterloo, and I realize I could easily be stubbornly dumb. A ton of reports are saying they are going to take a player well under slot to save cash after Hoffman was injured. The report has them on Flaherty from Harvard Westlake. Most places have Pentecost or maybe Nola. The reason I stick with Hoffman is he would be even cheaper and by reports they have liked him since the beginning. The injury is not a huge deal, and really it has the upside of destroying his leverage. I think this pick could be an early shocker.
5. Minnesota Twins - Nick Gordon, SS, HS
Special talent at a hard to find position. This one has stayed the same and is the same on almost every mock.
6. Seattle Mariners - Aaron Nola, RHP, LSU
All the talk is the Mariners are hot on Alex Jackson as he is a top player on their board and they will draft him. Well first off every year the rumors on the Mariners are off so no one is able to nail the pick. Two, they haven't spent their top pick on a high school player since 2007 with Phillip Aumont. Three, they haven't taken a high school player in the top 10 since ARod in 1993. So in other words, I have a hard time believing the most conservative drafting team in recent and long term history is taking a prep bat at six. Instead I have the super conservative Mariners taking the safest player in Aaron Nola.
7. Philadelphia Phillies - Michael Conforto, OF, Oregon State
I nearly put Newcomb here, but the reports are they want a talent who can get there quickly. I think Newcomb needs some more development than your typical college arm coming from Hartford and needing some work on his mechanics. So instead Conforto is the odds on favorite to be the first bat from this draft to make the majors. He is an on-base percentage machine with a little pop. He has the best current hit tool in this class and the top current eye.
8. Colorado Rockies - Alex Jackson, OF/C, HS
I know the Rockies are super conservative but hear me out. First, they have drafted a high school player in the first round from 09-12 and two of those years they took a guy in the top 12 picks from the high school ranks. When they have two picks in round one they have gone with both college and the high school ranks. They tend to target athletes and guys with power. Jackson has excellent power and would look quite good in Colorado.
9. Toronto Blue Jays - Trea Turner, SS, NC State
Word has been for a while they like Turner. Well, then they have to take him at nine as it seems he would not get past the Mets. Turner is a sure shortstop who has the speed to be a more traditional leadoff guy. He has rebounded nicely late in the year and is a top 10 lock.
10. NY Mets - Sean Newcomb, LHP, Hartford
There is a lot of talk the Mets are looking into college players, but they have gone prep early and often over the last few years. So here they take the college guy who has a bit more upside, a guy who is almost between a prep and a college guy. Hartford has rare size and velocity for a left-handed pitcher. He could be special and it seems unlikely he slides outside the top 12 picks.
11. Toronto Blue Jays - Touki Toussaint, RHP, HS
Toussaint has been rumored to be a favorite to the Blue Jays for a while and it makes sense. They like high upside arms who throw hard. Toussaint hasn't been playing baseball for a very long time but boy can he bring it. He could be the top player in this class in five years.
12. Milwaukee Brewers - Kyle Freeland, LHP, Evansville
The Brewers are another conservative drafting team, I have Freeland on a slight slide, but he would make a lot of sense here. He is a big lefty who has dominated at Evansville all year. I would not be shocked by Schwarber here either which was what my gut wanted to put here.
13. San Diego - Max Pentecost, C, Kennessaw St
Pentecost is the last of the guys who has a pretty high chance at being a possible top 10 pick. He didn't make it in mine but I would not be shocked if he did. Pentecost is a pretty special talent. I would compare his ceiling to that of Jason Kendall. He can do it all as a catcher, but as of now his best asset is his speed witch is a legit plus tool. The Padres would draft the sure catcher here who has some power upside.
14. San Francisco Giants - Derek Hill, OF, HS
Holmes makes a lot of sense here, but it just seems too logical to be the Giants pick. They are a team that is rarely, if ever, that easy to predict. I have seen Hill linked to them in every report and his athleticism might be too much to pass on here.
15. Los Angeles Angels - Nick Burdi, RHP, Louisville
The Angels have a front office under pressure. They have an owner who is too involved and has caused them to sign some free agents they should not have. Burdi could be with the Angels in August. They are contending now with a weak pen and this would be a cheap addition to help them very quickly. For once Harold Reynolds would be right this is a pick for this year.
16. Arizona Diamondbacks - Kyle Schwarber, C/1B, Indiana
The Diamondbacks current front office has had a history of grabbing power bats and sliding talent. Schwarber had a fine year, but his power was a bit down. If you think he can play catcher even a bit his stock goes through the roof. There has been a sudden jump in talk of Schwarber going in the top 10.
17. Kansas City Royals - Bradley Zimmer, OF, San Francisco
Kansas City has been focused a bit more on college bats and the top one I have on my board is Zimmer. Zimmer has the potential to be a five tool player and is one of my top 10 players. He would be a big value pick. The reports from the start have been that the Royals where very high on Zimmer. They already have his big brother in the system as well.
18. Washington Nationals - Tyler Beede, RHP, Vanderbilt
The Nationals are not viewed as a conservative drafting team even though they draft almost entirely from the college ranks because they often take big risks with college talent. They take the biggest name on the board more often than not and that's Beede. Beede has the talent of a top 10 pick, but there have been some major issues.
19. Cincinnati Reds - Grant Holmes, RHP, HS
The Reds like to take right handers who throw hard. Well the guy who most fits that bill is Holmes. Holmes is a top 10 talent to me who would be a great value here. He would be too good to pass on. I think the Reds plan is to just sit at 19 and take the top player who falls to them, as it is clear someone good will fall to them here.
20. Tampa Bay Rays - Casey Gillaspie, 1B, Wichita State
Here is a fun fact: the last first round pick to make the majors for the Rays was 2008 first rounder Tim Beckham. Since then they have had 17 first round selections over the last five years. Gillaspie exploded this year with a high average, power, and a great walk to strikeout rate. He is a safe pick who by reports the Rays are a big fan of.
21. Cleveland Indians - Michael Chavis, SS/2B/3B, HS
Chavis has been linked to the Indians and while I wonder about this as no one had them linked to anyone other than Moran last year, I think he makes sense. Chavis is going to play up the middle in the pros. Some people think he could play shortstop, but I think his best position is second base. He is a guy who does remind me of Clint Frazier thanks to both being Georgia kids with sub six foot frames and plus power. I think Chavis has a future power grade of 60; he isn't the athlete that Frazier is but the power at second is very interesting. The Indians last year showed a heavy interest in smaller players who they seemed to think might have been undervalued. Chavis fits everything on my what the Indians look for checklist.
22. Los Angeles Dodgers - Sean Reid-Foley, RHP, HS
The Dodgers are notorious for drafting high school players and I think Reid-Foley is too good to pass on. There was a report they were looking into right handed pitchers and Foley would fit the bill perfectly. There are reports they could go for a college player, but they almost never take college players.
23. Detroit Tigers - Nick Howard, RHP, Virginia
Howard is another player who seems to be gaining some notice. Howard was a two player most of his career at Virginia so there might be more projection in him as he focuses on just throwing. He isn't quite as quick to the majors as Burdi, but could be an arm that helps the Tigers as quickly as next year. They could also try and convert him to a starter and wait a bit longer but see if he can develop into a middle of the rotation starter. I had this pick last time, and now everyone is on this needless to say I am keeping it.
24. Pittsburgh Pirates - Monte Harrison, OF, HS
I have heard they like Harrison. Harrison has some of the best boom or bust potential in this draft. As I am sure most know Harrison is a monster athlete who is a four star football recruit to Nebraska. He has a ton of boom or bust and that has never been a concern for the Pirates who under Huntington have often taken the biggest upside player available.
25. Oakland A's - Ti'Quan Forbes, SS, HS
I heard the A's are all over Forbes and this makes a lot of sense to me. They are a smart team, maybe the smartest in baseball. They know Forbes is incredibly young for his age and has a very good chance to stay at short. Numbers have shown over the years in all sports that guys who are much younger often do better as they have more development left. Forbes' youth and position he plays brings a lot of value to the A's right here. He is the last of the possible shortstops with a first round grade in this draft.
26. Boston Red Sox - Erick Fedde, RHP, UNLV
The Red Sox are linked almost entirely to college bats. I have heard though that they are fans of Fedde as well. If he slides this far I think the Red Sox grab him. I would not be shocked to see the Red Sox go back to back college players. Fedde was a top 10 talent before injury and he could easily go much earlier.
27. St. Louis Cardinals - Alex Blandino, 2B/3B, Stanford
The Cardinals tend to go with college players early and they have taken a high pick recently from Stanford in Piscotty who has worked out very well. Blandino is a guy who I think can work at second or third and have above average power. I think thanks to his position and power potential from the right side that Blandino is going to go in the top 30 picks for sure.
(Compensation round picks in this section)
28. Kansas City Royals - Kodi Mederios, LHP, HS
There is lots of talk that the Royals are on Mederios who is the single most divisive player in this draft. Some see a top tier left-handed prep arm, others seen an undersized future LOOGY. I am more in the latter than the former, but the Royals appear to be big fans. There is some talk they might take him at 17, but I doubt he gets past 28.
29. Cincinnati Reds - Brandon Finnegan, LHP, TCU
I am not a fan of having Finnegan fall this low, but it was hard to find a perfect landing spot because of the concerns with injury for a TCU pitcher with some arm trouble this year. The Reds though have two picks and love velocity. This would make a pair of shorter arms for them, but the Reds would look past the height and see the high velocity.
30. Texas Rangers - Michael Gettys, OF, HS
The Rangers are a team who draft for upside. Gettys could be a star, though the only thing that might hold him back is his hit tool which at best will be a below average skill. Everything else could be plus. Gettys has great bat speed and amazing speed. He could be a star or he could never get out of A ball.
31. Cleveland Indians - Luis Ortiz, RHP, HS
The Indians have the picks to just sit back and take the top player every time. Ortiz is too good a pitcher to slide any further. Before his arm fatigue this year Ortiz was a possible top 10 pick. He has maybe the best slider of any prep player in this class. A year ago he would have been a guaranteed first rounder. I have read reports that Ortiz is a guy on the Indians radar and this would be a great value pick for the Tribe. I think if Ortiz was not here they would take Verdugo who is still a name to watch.
32. Atlanta Braves - Braxton Davidson, 1B/OF, HS
The Braves have not taken a lot of Georgia bats of late, an old theory which hasn't seemed to apply. They do seem to like safer guys, and with his hit tool Davidson is the safest prep bat in this draft. He is not a great athlete but with his power and hit tool in three years he would likely be a top 10 pick.
33. Boston Red Sox - Derek Fisher, OF, Virginia
The Red Sox are heavily on college players as they have heavily scouted the top college bats. I think they take Fisher here over Reed because of the upside he represents. Fisher has all the tools to hit over 300 with 20 plus homeruns. The power is not there yet and might never come, yet the ceiling is too much to pass on here.
34. St. Louis Cardinals - Foster Griffin, LHP, HS
The Cardinals went bat earlier, so they can take their prep arm here. They are a team who does tend to like left-handed arms as well so Griffin makes a ton of sense. He is a huge lefty with a lot of room to develop yet. He is one of the biggest prep risers this year.
(The next picks are the competitive balance picks and are still in the first round)
35. Colorado Rockies - AJ Reed, 1B, Kentucky
The Rockies like to take one high school and one prep player when they have two picks, and after going prep first I think they go college here. Reed had a year for the ages at Kentucky. His power would be intriguing for sure in Colorado and I for one would love to see him playing in that thin air.
36. Miami Marlins - Michael Kopech, RHP, HS
The Marlins took an upside prep lefty at the end of the first round last year in Krook. This year they take the right-handed pitcher from Texas. Kopech is another prep arm who has gotten lost in the deep class. He is the number two arm in Texas and has front of the rotation potential. Meek I am sure has scouted him heavily with his connection to the area.
37. Houston Astros - Jacob Gatewood, SS, HS
Polarizing prospect time. Gatewood's stock has had some bounce back and his power and athleticism are still enticing, but I still do worry about the hit tool. The Astros make sense as they are one of the least risk adverse franchises when it comes to the draft, and when they do have multiple firsts they often take big risks later. There is no bigger boom or bust player in this draft than Gatewood.
38. Cleveland Indians - Mike Papi, OF, Virginia
After going back to back prep I could not see the Indians not going the college route. Papi has been a hitting machine for Virginia. If you want production this is the guy. He has a great eye, gets on base and has shown a plus hit tool as well. His power isn't great and he is not an athlete. He is kind of an eye of the beholder player. Either you see the production and think that he is going to have a bright future, or you see the lack of athleticism and worry if he has any chance to make it in the pros. After two risk picks, the Indians play it safe here.
39. Pittsburgh Pirates - Matt Imhof, LHP, Cal Poly
The Pirates made a great trade to get this pick, so the question is who they might be targeting. I have them taking Imhof who was one of the highest risers during the college baseball season. He was a strikeout machine this year. He doesn't throw super hard, but it's the movement on his fastball which leads to his strikeout numbers.
40. Kansas City Royals - Forrest Wall, 2B, HS
Wall is another guy I have seen the Royals connected to. Wall has a plus hit tool and is a name that is all over people's boards. He can hit, has speed, and a little pop but there are some injury red flags as well. Wall's speed, size, and hitting will make for some Pedroia comps, but it's going to be hard for a lot of teams to draft a kid in round one who has already had labrum surgery.
41. Milwaukee Brewers - Justus Sheffield, LHP, HS
The Brewers last year spent their first pick on Devin Williams a sliding but very talented prep arm. Sheffield is a high school arm who is going to go in round one somewhere. He is a great athlete who has been preformed all year. The biggest knock on him is the lack of size, but the talent is too much to pass on here.
Round 2
42. Houston Astros - Jake Stinnett, RHP, Maryland
43. Miami Marlins - Jacob Lindgren, LHP, Miss St
44. Chicago White Sox - Marcus Wilson, OF, HS
45. Chicago Cubs - Jacob Bukauskas, RHP, HS
46. Minnesota Twins - Luke Weaver, RHP, FSU
47. Philadelphia Phillies - Gareth Morgan, OF, HS
48. Colorado Rockies - Spencer Turnbull, RHP, Alabama
49. Toronto Blue Jays - Mac Marshall, LHP, HS
50. Milwaukee Brewers - Brian Anderson, 2B, Arkansas
51. San Diego Padres - Spencer Adams, RHP, HS
52. San Francisco Giants - Chase Vallot, C, HS
53. Los Angeles Angels - Matt Chapman, 3B, Cal Fullerton
54. Arizona Diamondbacks - Scott Blewett, RHP, HS
55. New York Yankees - Jackson Reetz, C, HS
56. Kansas City Royals - Michael Cantu, C, HS
57. Washington Nationals - Grayson Greiner, C, South Carolina
58. Cincinnati Reds - Joey Gatto, RHP, HS
59. Texas Rangers - Alex Verdugo, LHP/OF, HS
60. Tampa Bay Rays - Cole Tucker, SS, HS
61. Cleveland Indians - Zach Lemond, RHP, Rice
Lemond is a big risk, but with five picks in the top 100 you can take a risk. He was viewed as a possible first rounder then an injury struck with tightness in his throwing arm. If he checks out, then great, but even if he doesn't the Indians should consider him if only because of the value he brings. The tightness is a concern because this was his first year as a starter, so he doesn't have a lot of wear and tear on the arm. Still, in the end, here is a kid who hit 97 and has a solid feel for three pitches. There were a lot of interesting college arms left but he was clearly the best to me.
62. Los Angeles Dodgers - Sam Travis, 1B, Indiana
63. Detroit Tigers - Michael Cederoth, RHP, San Diego St
64. Pittsburgh Pirates - Jack Flaherty, RHP, HS
65. Oakland Athletics - Austin DeCarr, RHP, HS
66. Atlanta Braves - Brett Graves, RHP, Miss St
67. Boston Red Sox - Garret Fulencheck, RHP, HS
68. St. Louis Cardinals - Milton Ramos, SS, HS
Competitive Balance Round B
69. Arizona Diamondbacks - Dylan Cease, RHP, HS

96. Tampa Bay Rays - Cobi Johnson, RHP, HS
97. Cleveland Indians - Jordan Luplow, OF, Fresno State
Luplow moved to centerfield this year for Fresno replacing Aaron Judge and he had a great year. He showed an excellent eye posting a .475 OBP and a 36/22 walk to strikeout total. He hit 21 doubles and 9 homeruns and was locked in all year. He projects out to have an above average to plus hit tool and above average power. Yet he isn't listed as a top 80 guy in this draft. He needs some work on mechanics but the upside with the bat is definitely there especially for the centerfield position. On top of that he is a decent athlete with above average speed.
98. Los Angeles Dodgers - Chad Sobotka, RHP, South Carolina Upstate
99. Detroit Tigers - Justin Twine, SS, HS

I wholeheartedly agree with OB, the Tribe sucks at the draft. No reason to expect any change from that this year, and I expect to be unimpressed, as always, with their choices -- there's no doubt there will be a head-scratcher, or two! I also agree that they should go strong on pitching. After that I would pick for projectable talent.
The baseball draft is a complete crapshoot, and that makes it challenging to go BPA, and nearly impossible to create a mock draft, but you've made a great effort Jeff, thanks!
We'll see what the Indians do. Frankly, I don't think the Indians had a good scouting department. There's lots of good players where the Indians have their first 3 picks, but I expect there to be at least one head scratcher...
I can't be the only one last year that asked, "Who the hell...Dace Kime?" It happens every year; (1) Indians make a bad pick, (2) fans are disappointed, (3) after initial let-down fans talk themselves into liking the pick...a few years later the Indians farm system is still ranked in the bottom half of MLB.
I hope I'm wrong!! The Indians are AWESOME at identifying mediocre minor league prospects and turning them into impact MLB players (Brantley, Asdrubal, Gomes, Hafner...others), but they suck at the draft. I hope they've identified this as a weakness and have rectified this issue b/c they need to be good at this stuff.
My hindsight mock based on yours would be:
21 RHP Reid-Foley
31 OF/1B B.Davidson or 2B F.Wall
38 LHP M.Marshall or RHP Sheffield
61 1B Sam Travis (steal!)
97 any one of RHP McKinney/Weisenberg or LHP Sands
4 out of 5 picks from the HS ranks. Everyone who "knows" me around here, can drop their jaw NOW ;-p
You bring up Gyorko. I saw a lot of Gyorko at WVU; he was very much a "bad body" guy with a fat, wide lower half. A good contingent of scouts said he couldn't pay anything but 1B or DH. Chavis is far more impressive physically than Gyorko -- no comparison. For the record, I really liked Gyorko but everyone knew he could hit -- he fell to the 2nd round b/c his body...its bad. You can go back to old scouting reports if you don't believe me. I really liked him but his body was terrible for an early round MIF and people really questioned his range if he were to move to 2b. Still like Gyorko but he's not going to age well.
If you want to compare offensive potential, I can see that Chavis/Gyorko comparison but athletically there's no comparison. Chavis is a legit athlete that is already built like a man (no projection necessary). I think Chavis looks great in tapes and would be fine taking him at 21 if he were to show that he can hit curveballs (I'm really worried about Clint Frazier as much as I loved him last year).
Chavis could play SS in the bigs. He'd be bad there but it's possible. As Jeff said though, 2B is probably the best spot. Chavis is the type of guy though that I think could play any spot on the diamond (minus pitcher).
Plenty of good players available to the Tribe in this draft & I'm excited to get going!

Just to let everyone know that I took a carry permit class this past Sat. and passed with flying colors, even though it was raining the whole time and we were outside shooting.... :mad:
There were a total of 15 people in our class and the most that was missed on the written test was five. I believe it was the guy in the front row that had trouble reading....surprisingly I did not miss any questions on the written test and made a score of 100 on the range. (But they gave everyone a score of 100 as long as they did not miss the target).
I actually went to the local police station since they offer monthly classes where they had us shoot from 3, 7, 10, 15, 20yards.
Today I'll be going to the DMV to turn in my application and also get fingerprinted.

Vendor managers in companies with Oracle applications may have heard a lot of talk about its next-generation applications over the last five years. Well, the news from Oracle's customer event in San Francisco is that Fusion is almost here. Oracle is extensively demonstrating the product here at the event, early adopter customers are already in the implementation process, and Oracle intends to generally release it in the first quarter of next year.
Oracle hasn't announced final pricing yet, but Steve Miranda, SVP of Oracle Application Development, confirmed that customers on maintenance will get a 1:1 exchange when they swap the product they own now for the Fusion equivalent. That is good news, although to be fair, my Oracle contacts had indicated this, off the record, all along.
The packaging into SKUs will mimic that of the current product set, to make the swap easier. I.e., the price list for HR will look like the PeopleSoft price list, CRM like Siebel, and so on. That makes some sense, but I wish Oracle had taken the opportunity to simplify the pricing so that there are fewer SKUs. For instance, Siebel's price list is over 20 pages long, and there's no clear link between the the items in the price list and the functionality you want to use. As a result, some customers buy modules by mistake, while others fail to buy ones they really need. Hopefully Fusion will provide a clearer audit trail between functionality and SKU.

Enterprises are increasingly turning toward cloud deployment models (including SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, etc.), attracted by promises of fast deployment, lower upfront costs, and greater elasticity in pricing and consumption models. This trend has been further fueled by resource constraints (capital and people); cloud solution maturity (sophisticated functionality, customization, and integration); and "empowered" workers (seeking DIY technologies to drive business results). However, the growing use of cloud technologies creates new challenges and questions in areas like TCO, security, support, and vendor management.
Enter cloud sourcing. Cloud sourcing typically refers to a model where third parties play a broker and consulting role in helping firms leverage the cloud strategically across business applications.
Cloud sourcing provides alternatives to traditional outsourcing, packaged application implementation, and application development. Cloud sourcing spans applications, utilities, and services. Cloud sourcing strategies include both the use of cloud applications such as salesforce.com and Workday to deliver business applications as well as the sourcing of complete managed processes via cloud applications plus associated services, such as offerings from Capgemini and Wipro.
Forrester will be part of an upcoming panel at Global Sourcing Forum in New York City on October 13 that discusses key elements of and considerations for cloud sourcing, including:
• How strategic sourcing decisions can include cloud-based solutions.
• What SaaS, Paas, IaaS, and BPO mean in the cloud context.
• Practical lessons and best practices for adopting cloud solutions.
• Challenges with cloud sourcing and how to overcome them.
• Emerging providers and solutions for cloud sourcing.

Today, Forrester and Harvard Business Review Press released the print version of Empowered, a book by Forrester veterans Josh Bernoff and Ted Schadler. This book is a quick and worthwhile read for just about anyone who wants to consider the changing role of technology in the workplace. After several reads of this book, I have found that in addition to a lot of great statistics, quotes, and case studies, there is a valuable message for how companies MUST change their philosophy and approach toward new technologies in order to stay innovative.
As a quick example of how quickly the technology landscape is changing, stop for a moment to consider just how many times in the past few days you have:

Marc Benioff, CEO of salesforce.com, gave a typically energetic performance at London's Royal Festival Hall yesterday, both in the main-stage keynote and the private lunch for press and analysts. In addition to some humorous digs at Oracle, SAP, and pretty much any company that wants to run its own data center, Benioff described his vision for enterprise applications in the world of social computing, which he calls Cloud 2. Key to this vision is salesforce.com's own Chatter application, which is . . . er, well actually it's not really clear what it is. Various spokespeople described it as an internal Facebook, a collaboration engine, Twitter but secure, but to me it still seems to be a user interface in search of an application.
The demonstration reminded me forcibly of the scene in Bruce Almighty in which Morgan Freeman lets Jim Carrey hear all the prayers being made at that instant by the citizens of Chicago. The user gets a stream of tweets, discussion threads, notifications, and alerts from feeder applications, messages from colleagues to each other, general questions, etc. My question, which no-one could answer adequately was "how is this different from email?" The features they cite — filtering, highlighting, threading, categorizing, etc. — are all in Outlook if you care to use them.
The main difference, apart from the fashionable user interface with the sender's photo next to each message, is the switch from emailers deciding who they want to read their message, to readers deciding whose chats they want to see. Benioff's description of his own Chatter feed puts him as the omniscient Bruce, watching every sales process, customer service problem resolution, product design collaboration, and invoice approval throughout his organization.

14 bolt corp. to 6 lug
I have a 14 bolt full floater dually axle, that already has a Detroit Locker in it. I'd like to use it for my "Gasser". Can I change it to 6 lug axles and disc brakes?
The six lug axles have an entirely different bearing setup and are not interchangeable..you will most likely need to have the housing modified to allow the installation of disk brakes and the axles you wish for..the axles them selves will be a custom piece to obtain the proper spline count as well..this is something for a custom axle shop most likely one that does a lot of 4wd and offroad work..
You can put ford 9" ends in the 14 bolt and have axles made for it.
I do quite a few of those for the truck puller guys.
Yes, Moser makes a bunch of housing ends that can be used to convert it to a semi floating axle and 5 or 6 lug. They can make the axles for it too.
Thanks guys, I'm gonna have to spend the money eather on the 14bolt, or redo the 12bolt thats in it. That means puting a posi in it,new bearings and seals,and gears. I,ve already got my rear wheels and tires,2 sets,strip and street. The 14bolt has already been rebuilt and 4:10 Zooms. That 14bolt sure would look a whole lot cooler under there.

When John F. Kennedy used the phrase, "A rising tide lifts all ships," he was talking about our government's economic policy.
Today, we use that phrase to remind each other of the positive effects — financial or otherwise — of working together in all sorts of aspects: everything from neighborhoods to business networks.
Finding ways to collaborate — even with so-called competitors — has always been a crucial factor to the success of any business. We've known that for years.
[texthighlight color="blue-vibrant" ]So Let's Start with Collaboration[/texthighlight]
Today's world changes in the blink of an eye. New technology, shifting politics and the breakneck speed of the news makes it ever harder for a new entrepreneur to keep up — let alone make real headway.
The only way to get where you want to go, is to take along some friends.
So we're making it official. Our theme for the Premiere Season is Collaboration.
Each team is expected (and rewarded) for working together to help one team member (of their collective choice) accomplish that week's mission. Points will be awarded to the team with the best overall work product (points divided among each player on that team).
Individual players may also attempt to tackle the mission themselves — if they have the time. Points will be awarded to the best effort among those who are able to complete the task on their own, as well.
But collaboration will earn the players more points.
The idea is to mimic the power of a Mastermind Group — a concept inspired by Andrew Carnegie and written about by Napoleon Hill (see Think and Grow Rich).
The benefits of having a supportive mastermind include:
1. Differing perspectives, input and feedback.
2. Resources and connections you might not have had on your own.
3. Accountability and inspiration.
Napoleon Hill even felt there was a mystical quality created when a mastermind group was formed. He said:
[quote type="medium" align="left"] "No two minds ever come together without, thereby, creating a third, invisible, intangible force which may be likened to a third mind." [/quote]
In other words, your ability to create things in the world is increased exponentially by having that invisible "third mind" of the mastermind group.
So without further ado, here are the teams:
Team One: Ang Jandak of Low Brow Events, Peter Sterlacci of Believe.Become.Be Your Brand, and Dr. Michael Provitera of Motivational Leadership Training.
Team Two: Linda Griego of Java Raiz, Janet Brent of Purple Panda, and Michelle Hastie of Total Body Health Solutions
Team 3: Shaun Roney of TwinkleTies, Tiffany Manley of Sweet Phenomena, and Rachel Denning of Discover, Share, Inspire!
Team 4: Kristin Elliott of Doodie Pack, Colleen Conger of Digital Photo & Design, and Tammy Vitale of Women Weaving it All Together
Team 5: Joseph Richards of Salary Negotiators, Jayne Ubl-Johnson of DriveSafeRideSafe and Evelyn Kalinosky of Inner Affluence
Why These Particular People on These Teams?
Each team is equally weighted by skill level (as much as possible, according to assessments we did during the application process).
We also tried (where possible) to facilitate potential overlaps in target audience.
The teams have less than four weeks (actually only two, if you take into account the holidays) to talk and build rapport, discover each other's strengths and weaknesses and make plans for when they'll meet on a regular basis during the actual competition.
Their weekly meetings (before and after the show) will be held via video conferencing (using Anymeeting.com) and recorded so we can all watch together.
Aren't you excited to see what they do together?
Of course you are. So now's the time to mark your calendar, gather your friends and colleagues, and join us on this journey via our Play-at-Home membership.

R.I.P.: Mattel's public image
Tue Aug 14 2007
If you didn't catch the Mattel press conference this morning on CNN, here's some more info...
The newest fiasco from the toy company comes in the form of yet another recall, this time of the Sarge character toy from the movie "Cars," which brings the company's recall numbers of lead-paint covered toys to nearly 1.5 million. The company has also added to its 2006 recall of magnet toys, increasing the number of defunct Mattel toys by 18.2 million. The new tally includes staples like Barbie, Batman and Polly Pocket. And did we mention that all of these recalls have occurred in less than a month? Yikes.
Sure, Mattel may be launching a huge ad-campaign to try and save its image as the trusted toy company (and we're guessing they're trying to rescue that image pretty soon, i.e, before the joyous holiday season of mass-spending), but are parents really going to forget the recent Mattel catastrophe that quickly?

Is the program in a BCM set in stone or can it be added to, modified?
Not the PCM in the motor for air/fuel but the BCM in the cabin.
I think they are VIN# specific???
shadams might be able to tell you more....
I am going in tomorrow to the dealer to find out for sure.
What the tech guy is thinking is that the program can be tweaked but that the specific task that I want may not be written in against my VIN and that another VIN would have to be introduced.
What we don't know yet is if I can have my VIN assigned to one program and another VIN to yet another program.
I was just looking to find an answer so I may not have to go in at all and waste the tech's time.
That was one of the things I mentioned when you first posted about doing this mod. As far as I know the program is specific to the set of options your car has. The system GM uses has programs that the tech would match up based on the options the car has, but it narrows them down right off the bat by VIN # so you dont have to look through every option ever. For example, if a car has power windows or not etc. So since a Soltice doesnt have the type of door locks you are adding I dont know how you would get the BCM to recognize the circut. I am sure its possible to do, I just dont know how or who you would need to talk to to get it done.
One last question, why do you need to go through the BCM, cant you just hardwire in some relays and the switches to the actuators and be done?
"Contrary to common belief, planning is complicated and is not run by complete idiots, so you'll just have to trust that the decisions were made on good information that's not made available to you."
I started down the path of working directly with the actuator but then backed off when I wasn't getting the answers that I needed from Delphi regarding pin out locations on the unit itself.Originally Posted by shadams
Another reason was wanting to have it as clean as possible with little if no splicing or rigging.
I am determined to have everything under the skin look stock.
I hear you, and give you props for doing that. I know a guy that works for Delphi as a tech assist, what are the odds, I was given his number yesterday for a radio issue. Ill call him and see what he thinks and let you know.Originally Posted by tweety
UPDATE: I talked to a woman at Delphi and she left a message for the guy I was calling for. Anyway she attempted to help me and was asking if you have everything wired in yet. If so what happens when you activate the switch, are any codes set, etc. I didnt now what to tell her. Do you have everything in place yet, or are you trying to get all the answers before you even start?

I was suppose to take the car to the dealer for some undercover work yesterday. My schedule is now looking to be early next week.
The task would be to crimp the white wire from the button into a socket and then put the socket into the connector on the BCM. If it works-hooray. If not then we will see about the program part. If that doesn't work then we may head down the road for swapping the BCM from Solstice to Cobalt.
There are some circuits on the Cobalt that are the same but in different locations and would have to be relocated in the connector. I really don't want to go that route.
Is there anyway to re-program a BCM using the tech-II computer without the Code Card???
the bcm in the cobalt is programmable, when you get a new one from the factory they are all universal for the vehicle, you have to select what options it has with the tech 2. there is no SPS for BCM in the cobalt.
so thereoretically, you should be able to change the door latches and wire in some actuators and run them to the pins on the BCM.
the BCM already has all the drivers and internal stuff for all vehicles, so you should be able to hook it up.
There are no stupid questions, just stupid people.

|The Yawanawá Community: From the Amazon to Global Markets
On Tuesday, 4 October 2011, the Equator Initiative hosted Tashka Yawanawá of the Yawanawá people of the Brazilian Amazon, to talk about his community's successes in advocating for change, conserving their indigenous territory, and developing new sources of sustainable energy.
The Yawanawá community won the Equator Prize in 2008 in recognition of their sustainable management of over 180,000 hectares of Amazon rainforest in the Brazilian state of Acre. This tribe has managed to conserve their natural heritage and preserve their cultural identity in the face of multiple threats to their way of life.
Tashka played a leading role in advocating for the revision of the boundaries of the Yawanawá traditional land, which was eventually achieved in 2005. Tashka spoke about the challenges this had entailed, including threats to the forest from proposed commercial logging and cultivation projects. Other threats to community wellbeing were identified, such as the cost of travelling from the community to the nearest town: the three-day journey by truck and canoe can cost as much as US$110 in diesel fuel. The community is also challenged by a lack of sustainable livelihood options, difficulty in accessing clean drinking water, and virtually no health services.
In response, the Yawanawá are developing the processing of oil from locally-grown jatropha trees into a renewable and cheap source of fuel for motor boats – 4,000 trees have been planted so far. The community has benefitted greatly from a partnership with AVEDA through the sale of sustainably harvested urukum seeds that are processed into a red dye used in beauty products sold across the world. AVEDA has helped to preserve and celebrate the Yawanawá culture, raising the profile of this tribe in Brazil and internationally.
Tashka also spoke about the transformative social changes that have taken place within the tribe in recent years as power has devolved to smaller village-level authorities, including two women village chiefs. Diversification of agriculture and revenue from the sale of urukum has allowed more young members of the tribe to remain in the village instead of migrating to urban centres.
The community has taken control of digging and maintaining wells that supply clean water to the villages. Support from various partners has benefitted local schools and improved the tribe's communications infrastructure, with a high-speed internet connection now installed in the village headquarters. Tashka emphasised the importance of being able to easily contact the outside world for raising awareness of challenges to the tribe's sovereignty.
David Hircock, Executive Director for Sustainability and Innovation with the Estée Lauder Companies, has a long-term relationship with the Yawanawá, and spoke in detail about the changes the community has experienced in recent years.
The discussion that followed Tashka's presentation included the position of indigenous tribes in Brazil today, and the role of the federal and local government in enabling the survival of indigenous culture. The Equator Initiative, Tribal Link Foundation, and other partners have greatly helped to raise the profile of the Yawanawá; many challenges still remain, however, if communities like this one are to preserve their natural and cultural heritage in a rapidly changing world.

Dude, Omnisphere is amazing.
Thanks a lot for the review.

Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
You get an extra point for using potato chips as an instrument for the sake of a pun. This is really the entry that sounds the most like a 'cover' in the classical sense, and it's also completely different from the original. It sounds so lo-fi and almost haphazard that I'm not sure what I should think, but I just personally adore this
neato, thanks for the review
The Genocide
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Woah, that was unexpected. Different tempo, completely different style and set of instruments. That slap bass is siiiiiiiiick. It hits amazingly hard at 1:45 (that part has way too much of the high frequencies though), and the calm part afterwards is groovy as hell. Other than some issues with mild distortion and the high frequencies, the mix is good too. Congratulations, this is a great cover which really surpasses what I though one could plausibly do with the original.
Thank you for your review. Glad you like the slap bass. I like it too. I took your comments to heart, and I made an alternate mix with less high frequencies, removed much of the mild distortion. It does sound a little less loud and bombastic, but it's more pleasant to the ears. You could listen to it to see which one you like better. The link is in the description.

Hm, I could barely recognize the original theme in there until about 1:38. That said, this is a wonderful and very authentic jazz guitar piece! Some of the harmonies are just incredible. This is certainly a favorite song of mine in its own right. The low-key minimalist approach works great here.
Thank you so much!Sadly it felt very incomplete and disjointed as others have stated, but still...I really tried to make justice to the original song.And I hope I did.

Okay yeah this is a fantastically elaborate version of a fairly forgettable track. There's just so much new content and it's all of great quality. I got a mild headache from listening to the original but you managed to take out the important part of it. The spoken parts are very disturbing and add a whole new layer and backstory to the track.
Thank you very much for your review, I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

Rated 4 / 5 stars
So glad to hear that the piano is now genuinely playing by the same rules as all the other instruments. The echoing thing at 0:32 was great. This has a nice drive to it, nice drums that are varied and still sensible, and even good melodies in some places. The metroid prime thing MIGHT be because you use the same midi-like choir :) Transition before 1:46 was lovely. Sweet! Nice way to start the year
Yep, this is when Blackhole12 told me to get rid of that limiter, and I'm so glad he did!
I'm proud of the main melody in this track; sometimes I milk it too much and some parts in this kinda suck, but the main melody itself is quite decent. And the drums are all of a sudden so much better, yeah, and I started using drum filters properly.
I did overuse that "stop playing the song for a bar" transition thing though :3.

Yay for a recurring theme! Even if it's out of key half of the time! I too am looking forward to the point where you get EWQL. Your instrumentation is coming together, with a bunch of different instruments complementing each other in a nice way.
Mhmm the instruments are actually complementing each other rather nicely here, especially in the "question-answer" melodies. Even if the instruments sound like absolute crap.
I think this might be my first every full orchestral track, so it may just be what started it all! Now listen to Morning Horizon, the NEXT orchestral song I did except with East/West instruments, and not only did the quality improve tenfold, but the melodies magically start harmonising, the music magically starts to make sense and it's actually NOT THAT BAD.

Same piano volume wildness again. I don't know how or why you're doing this to me.
There's actually some mildly complex and sensible stuff going on in the piano, sounds like you just drew it into the sequencer though, since it's so heavily quantized. Everything that's going on feels pretty random, like why are you switching between completely different drum patterns every fourth bar, that's disorienting.
"Same piano volume wildness again. I don't know how or why you're doing this to me."
Blame the limiter in the master channel, not the playa.
The reason the drums are changing beat all the time is because I had the same obsession with variety that I have today, except today I make sure the variety makes sense and back then I was like VARIETY VARIETY VARIETY.

Piano is more subdued this time. Sweet.
at least that's what I thought until 0:19 when you just brutally increased the volume of it so it sounded something like ONE OF THOSE FUCKING FEVER FANTASIES WHERE YOU HEAR VOICES THAT GET LOUDER AND LOUDER AND YOU JUST FEEL AWFUL BECAUSE YOU HAVE A FUCKING FEVER AND YOU CAN'T SLEEP
I'm done with this.
neat unintentional dorian mode at 2:14 though
Hahaha I love this review. I can imagine you listening to the piano all subdued and you're all content, then the arpeggio comes in and it starts getting higher and higher in volume and in the meantime you put your arms out and you're like "no no NO NO WHERE ARE YOU GOING, YOU WERE FINE BEFORE, GO BACK TO HOW YOU WERE NO NO NO SCREW YOU STEP"
I kinda like the melodies in this track, despite it being so old. They sound pretty cool when I play them on my piano, and I might just record myself playing them with my newfound microphone and make a whole track out of them. I dunno!

If there is ever an audit, saying that you relied on advice from some guy on the internet with a playing card logo next to his name is a career limiting statement. Nothing that is said in this forum is binding.1 person found this helpful
Assuming you are talking about named user licenses (Oracle used to sell concurrent user licenses and there are a few organizations that still have concurrent user licenses that they haven't converted to the more modern licensing schemes), you would need to add up the total number of humans that can access the data in the database (plus any automated systems but it doesn't sound like we're considering any of those). So you would take the 3 DBA users and then add in all the humans that have accounts that would allow them to access the application hosted on the app servers. If you have 6 application servers and those app servers are keeping 60 sessions open in their connection pools, I would expect that there are far more than 60 humans that have the ability to use those applications. So I would expect that you would need far more than 63 named user licenses.

French actress Cotillard shines at Oscars
By Mike Collett-White
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - If there were an Oscar for the standout star of Sunday's Academy Awards ceremony, it would have to go to France's best actress winner Marion Cotillard.
The 32-year-old won for her portrayal of legendary chanteuse Edith Piaf in "La Vie en Rose" and she shone throughout the evening with her body-hugging, mermaid-style dress, boundless energy and a farewell song backstage.
Cotillard set the tone from her entrance on the red carpet, where her full-length white and gold Jean Paul Gaultier gown was a refreshing departure from the predominant red.
"I'm totally overwhelmed with joy and sparkles and fireworks and everything that goes like 'boom boom boom'," the bubbly brunette laughed when asked by reporters backstage to describe how she felt after receiving her golden statuette.
In reply to a question about her screen idols, she said: "I'm a very big fan of Peter Sellers. I wanted to marry him when I was a child."
She also gave a short rendition of the famous Piaf number "Padam Padam," prompting loud applause from reporters.
Cotillard was the first French performer since 1960 to win an Oscar in the best actress category. The victory, earned from her first Oscar nomination, will have raised her profile in Hollywood overnight. Continued...

Williams-Transco Minimizes Magnitude of Hurricane Sandy, Chance of Damage to Rockaway Line From A Similar StormMay 22nd, 2013 | By Mark | Category: Gas Pipeline Expansion NEWS, Lead Articles
NatGas Consulting
Noting that Hurricane Sandy was technically not quite a 100-year-storm, engineers and executives at Williams-Transco assured concerned state and federal regulators recently that the natural gas pipeline they propose to run through coastal wetlands and recreation areas near Coney Island faces only a small risk of being damaged by flooding in a similar natural disaster.
Ed. Note – If you enjoy the coverage and content you receive here at NaturalGasWatch.org, please take a moment to click on one of the advertisements you will find above and on the right-hand side of the page. Your action will help us keep this site up and running. Thanks for your support. Fj
Transco officials made the assurances in a May 20 response to an April 4 request from the New York Department of State for more information about how the company's proposed Rockaway Lateral Line would withstand a storm similar to Hurricane Sandy.
Hurricane Sandy struck the Atlantic mid-coast on Oct. 29, bringing sustained winds of up to 115 m.p.h, killing nearly 300 people and causing damages currently estimated to exceed $750 billion worldwide.
The coastal area identified by Williams-Transco as the preferred path of their proposed Rockway Lateral Line – a 26-inch, high-pressure natural gas pipeline that would run across wetlands in Jamaica Bay, through Jacob Riis Park beach and Floyd Bennett Field, where a new compressor station would be built, and on into Brooklyn near Flatbush Ave – was among those hardest hit by the storm.
The risk of flood damage from a similar storm, Williams officials stated, is .2 percent per year
From the Williams-Transco response to the April 4, 2013 request from the NY Department of State:
The "Coney Island NE" ABFE map includes provisional measurements of Hurricane Sandy storm surge elevations for locations on the Rockaway Peninsula. These elevations were slightly lower than the 100-year base flood elevations identified for the associated flood zones on the ABFE (ed. note: Advisory Base Flood Elevation) map. This suggests that Hurricane Sandy did not quite qualify as a 100-year storm surge event based on the ABFE map.
However, the response continues, in the event of a storm that actually is a 100-year event, the pipeline's electrical equipment – critical to the safe operation of the pipeline – would be out of harm's way because,
"based on the current M&R Facility (ed. note: Metering & Regulation) design, all wiring and electrical components such as generators would be located at least 1 foot above the current floor elevation … This is expected to limit risk of significant equipment damage due to flooding … "
Non-electrical equipment, such as the offshore pipeline would not be "significantly affected by flooding."
The notion of how other phenomena associated with a similar storm, such as wind or scouring of the ocean floor, would affect the Rockaway Lateral line remained uncontemplated in the Williams-Transco response.

Gillham Coat of Arms / Gillham Family Crest
This name GILLHAM was a baptismal name 'son of William'.The name was originally derived from the Old French Guillaume, and was brought into England in the wake of the Norman Invasion of 1066. The earliest name on record appears to be Giliaum (without surname) who was listed in the Domesday Book of 1086. Many of the early names recorded in medieval documents denote noble families but many also indicate migration from the continent during, and in the wake of, the Norman invasion of 1066. There was a constant stream of merchants, workmen and others arriving in England during this time. In 1086 the Record of Great Inquisition of lands of England, their extent, value, ownership and liabilities was made by order of William The Conquerer. It is known as the Domesday Book. Other records of the name mention William Giliam who was listed in the Yorkshire Poll Tax in 1379. Arnold Gilleme was documented in County Lancashire in the year 1453. Later instances of the name include William, son of Richard Gyllam, who was baptised at St.James, Clerkenwell, London in 1605. Samuel Gillham and Martha Allen were married at St.Georges, Hanover Square. London, in 1773. John Gilliam and Ann Turner were married at St.Georges, Hanover Square, London, in 1779. Since the dawn of civilisation the need to communicate has been a prime drive of all higher mankind. The more organised the social structure became, the more urgent the need to name places, objects and situations essential to the survival and existence of the social unit. From this common stem arose the requirements to identify families, tribes and individual members evolving into a pattern in evidence today. In the formation of this history, common usage of customs, trades, locations, patronymic and generic terms were often adopted as surnames. The demands of bureaucracy formally introduced by feudal lords in the 11th century, to define the boundaries and families within their fiefdoms, crystallized the need for personal identification and accountability, and surnames became in general use from this time onwards.

Sorry if this is on here. I found a thread about how to carry in the gym, but my question is this.
Who carries in the gym and while we're at it, what is YOUR preferred method.
I am considering a fanny pack. Let me know what you do.
I will be hitting the gym again soon and if I desire to carry I will be wearing my Smartcarry. I can wear it with shorts or sweatpants without a problem.
pocket carry!
Don't go to a gym, but when I work out I use a belly band. Comfortable, and it's easy to hide a small gun in.
When I go to the gym, I work some exercise machines and then use the tread mill...armed!
My KelTec (not my EDC) is in an IWB/SOB holster...no belt needed.:image035:
I usually don't, but a P3AT IWB doesn't pull my shorts down.
You folks are lucky - my club does not permit firearms and before the flames begin, I would boycott too but it is right across the street from my office, my health insurance covers it and I do still have my Kershaw knife. I keep working on them though.
I use a fanny pack for my G27. It is easy enough to keep on while lifting. When I run on the treadmill I just attach it to the handle where I could easily reach it and no one could grab it without catching some fury.
I bought an uncle mike's fanny pack. I took it back because I did not like the quality, I bought a maxpedition octa versipack I haven't got it yet but hopefully tomorrow or the next day. I think it will be the best option for me.
Not to be gross but I had to carry my kel tec p3at with the clip on it in my waistband of my underwear, too close to the skin, not real comfortable. I also had to put my wallet and phone in my pockets which weighed them down. I'm excited. Thanks all.
I carry my KelTec P32 with factory belt clip at 2:00 while working out
I just ordered a PistolWear PT-2. It looks like it might be more comfortable without an undershirt than the belly band I have (and it's getting hot here in San Antonio).
I tried pocket carry today with BDUs and it was ok, but I am really excited to get my max pack.
I carry a Maxpedition Jumbo Versipak to the gym with me, I keep my phone, keys, bottled water, ipod and an XD .45 in it. I hang it on the front of the eliptical machine if I am on that or I go through the trouble of carrying it with me from machine to machine while lifting.
Nothing else has worked for me, BTW, someone mentioned that their gym does not allow weapons. Mine does not either.
UPDATE- Today was my first day with the max octa versipack. I worked out well, I had to flip it around the back while doing squats but otherwise it wasn't terrible. I really do want another bag, but not the trouble of carrying it around the gym. It would look really suspicous(?) if I did that.
I carry my p3at, my wallets (LEO creds and normal), my phone, a knife, a multitool. It worked out real well so far. This summer I will be attending a large polka dance probably and I will need a different pack then. Condor II here I come.

With the issue of match-fixing overshadowing their build-up to the tournament, and rumours flying around about two supposedly homosexual players in the ranks, Italy could be forgiven for feeling that it's all just a little bit of history repeating at Euro 2012. The parallels are spooky, but the Azzurri will be only too delighted if their campaign in Poland and Ukraine ultimately conforms fully to that of the 1982 World Cup in Spain.
It was Karl Marx who famously wrote that history repeats itself, "the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce." In Italy's case the tragedy must be swapped for triumph – they won that World Cup – yet Domenico Criscito's pre-tournament withdrawal and Antonio Cassano's dubious performance in front of the media on Tuesday certainly lend credibility to the farce aspect of Marx's conclusion.
Criscito was of course ruled out of contention for the finals on May 28 after Italian police conducted a dawn raid on his room at Italy's training camp at Coverciano. The Zenit St Petersburg left-back was interviewed by police and told he is being investigated in the sprawling, expanding Calcioscommesse probe into alleged match-fixing which is once again undermining the reputation of Italian football.
Such was the gravity of the situation, coach Cesare Prandelli said before the start of Euro 2012 that "if you told us for the good of football we should not participate, it wouldn't be a problem for me." But the history of Italian football suggests it may well be a good omen for the Italian national team.
In 2006, Italy won the World Cup under the cloud of Calciopoli – the scandal that sprung from wiretaps and resulted in the enforced relegation of the great Juventus – while in 1982 the ghost of the Totonero controversy – which saw over 30 players and officials accused of being complicit in match-fixing – was resurrected just before the tournament.
Italy's darling, Paolo Rossi, had been suspended for three years for his role in the match-fixing scandal but his sentence was reduced to two, meaning he was able to return just in time for the finals in Spain. After being picked by coach Enzo Bearzot for the finals, an out-of-shape Rossi struggled through the group stage, only to then score three in a quarter-final win against Brazil, two in the semi-final against Poland and one in a 3-1 win over Germany in the final to win the Golden Boot.
Rossi's exploits are of course legendary, his ability to pull himself from the lowest point of his career to the peak of the game in a matter of weeks one of the World Cup's most enduring if morally unsatisfying stories, yet Rossi was also one of two central figures in another controversy that 30 years later is far less well known. It is a story that has been marginalised with the passing of time, but this week was given fresh significance.
In the early stages of the 1982 World Cup, rumours began proliferating about Rossi and his team-mate Antonio Cabrini. Pictured together topless on a balcony, innuendo spread and whispers about a homosexual affair gained enough credence for one newspaper to report that the two players were "living like man and wife."
Italy's response was to impose their famous 'silenzio stampa' (media silence), shunning all contact with the press as they fostered a siege mentality that helped inspire them to win the competition.
On Tuesday, it was perhaps a shame that current Azzurri striker Cassano failed to follow the precedent set by his predecessors in the national team. Because prior to the press conference ahead of Thursday's game against Croatia, the Italian squad was the focus of new rumours regarding homosexuality – still sadly a taboo subject in the world of professional football 30 years on from events in Spain.
Italian journalist Cecchi Paone had written an article claiming that two members of Italy's Euro 2012 were gay and that coach Cesare Prandelli knew the identity of the players in question. He later elaborated that he had had a relationship with one of the players, who then revealed to him the identity of the other.
In the world of professional football, where sexuality still elicits controversy and salacious gossip is almost an industry unto itself, these comments were bound to cause headlines, and coach Prandelli knew it.
Prandelli is that rare thing in football: a prominent figure not afraid to discuss homophobia and homosexuality in public. He wrote the foreword to Paone's book, entitled 'The Champion in Love. The Banned Games of Sport', explaining how "homophobia is racism and it is indispensable that we make further steps to look after all aspects of individuals living their own lives, including sporting figures."
Sadly, though, a private note of caution from this more enlightened soul to his somewhat unpredictable forward prior to Tuesday's press conference did not deter Cassano from making pretty disgusting remarks to the press.
"The (national) coach had warned me that you would ask me this question," Cassano said. "If I say what I think....I hope there are none. But if there are queers here, that's their business."
A formal apology on the Italian federation's website was a fairly rapid response to try and calm the resulting storm, yet the damage had already been done, Cassano's slur spreading through the ether.
There have now been calls for Prandelli to drop Cassano for Wednesday's game as Italy's national team contend with another mini-crisis. But as history has shown us, such controversies often prove to be nothing but bumps on the road to glory for the Azzurri.
