text: So for the millionth time, I am faced with a tough situation financially, and have to sell another macintosh. I hate to do it, but tuition AND car stuff came up all at once. Anyways, you all know what this is. I'll answer the usual questions- Does it Moo? No. Does it whine? No. Does it overheat? No, according to CoreDuoTemp monitor, it sits at a pretty cool rate. Not that I ever push this thing either. It's led a sedentary lifestyle on my desk, sometimes even venturing to the couch with me to watch a white sox game. Comes with all boxes, manuals, etc. AppleCare is still good until next May As far as price goes, here is what I've determined. This model exactly refurbished at the Apple store is $949, free shipping, but you still pay tax. Which is roughly $71 @ 6.75%. So, I think it's fair that I sell for $940 with free shipping. Anyways, PM me if you have anymore questions or to express interest in buying. Thanks!

Having an issue with the PBI-Builder, just want to see if anyone else is.

When attempting to build a PBI (including the example gimp one), I am finding that some of the distfiles are taking literally days to download. Probably due to the websites having issues.

The issue is - how do I cancel and re-start? When I simply hit ctrl+c and delete the lock file to restart, it makes a giant mess.
Is it possible to pre-populate the distfiles? Do they go in /usr/ports/distfiles like a normal BSD port?

Thanks,
Mike Bybee

FAIRVIEW -- A barn and the surrounding land at a Starr Road property in eastern Guernsey County were reportedly damaged by fire Monday night.
Firefighters from the Fairview, Quaker City, Old Washington and Barnesville fire departments were initially dispatched to the scene after a 911 caller reported a brush fire had spread to a barn at the Starr Road property.
Old Washington and Barnesville firefighters were later canceled while en route to the scene.
No cause for the fire nor a damage estimate were available as of press time Tuesday.
According to reports, firefighters from the Fairview and Quaker City volunteer departments were dispatched at 6:44 p.m. after the initial call was received at the Belmont County Sheriff's Office.
Other firefighters were dispatched a short time later to provide mutual aid, but Fairview firefighters advised they would not be needed when they arrived at the scene.
Firefighters remained at the scene extinguishing the fire and hot spots until approximately 7:45 p.m.

Ya know…you look at all these photos, you look into her eyes, her facial expression, and you just know that she's thinking that she is sooooo much better than all the rest of us……she's thinking about how hot she thinks she is……and that we are all just vessels for her use.
Then there is reality……she's a fat fucking alchoholic who thinks she's better than she really is. She has no fashion sense, hence the tight fitting clothes on the fat-ass body, her singing already isn't what it use to be, hell she can't even remember the lines to our National Anthem…really??? of ALL the songs, THAT one you screw up, in its BIGGEST setting?
I think she needs a few months to dry-out, maybe drop a ton, tone up, and practice singing……and ummmm..I don't know, maybe go visit the troops in the desert, and do some REAL charity work…..
Doesn't she have a son? Why is she never taking care of him? Is she too busy stuffing her fat face and getting wasted with that leech she's been fucking?
isn't she pregnant??

A roundup of trading on major world markets:
NEW YORK - The Dow Jones Industrial Average shook off early weakness on Tuesday and pressed through to another record close, led by strong gains in tech shares Microsoft and Intel.
The Dow rose 59.98 points (0.41 per cent) to 14,673.46.
The broad-based S&P 500 jumped 5.54 (0.35 per cent) to 1,568.61, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index added 15.61 (0.48 per cent) to 3,237.86.
Technology shares drove the gains: Microsoft (+3.6 per cent), Intel (+3.1 per cent), Cisco (+1.9 per cent) and Oracle (+2.1 per cent).
A 2.1 per cent rise by Dow member Caterpillar also helped.
"There's this feeling that overseas investors might be piling into large US equities that are deemed to be safe," said Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at broker BTIG.
Solar cell maker First Solar surged 45.5 per cent after surprising the market with a forecast for strong sales through 2015. The company projected $US3.8 million ($A3.67 million) to $US4 billion in net sales in 2013.
Struggling retail giant JC Penney sank 12.2 per cent one day after replacing controversial chief executive Ron Johnson with Johnson's predecessor Myron Ullman.
Nutrition and weight-management company Herbalife lost 3.8 per cent after announcing that its accounting firm, KPMG, was resigning due to the alleged insider trading of a KPMG partner.
LONDON - European stock markets have ended mixed, with London gaining on data showing Britain may escape a triple-dip recession while Frankfurt retreated on disappointing trade figures.
London's FTSE 100 index of leading companies ended on Tuesday with a gain of 0.58 per cent to 6,313.21 points, Paris' CAC40 edged out an 0.11 per cent rise to 3,670.72 points in choppy trade, while in Frankfurt the DAX 30 dropped 0.33 per cent to 7,637.51 points.
"A weaker than expected Chinese inflation number and a better than expected earnings report from Alcoa in the US has given basic resource stocks a lift today, helping push the London market higher however broader European markets have struggled for traction, with the DAX in particular underperforming," said CMC Markets UK analyst Michael Hewson.
Beijing unveiled data showing inflation at 2.1 per cent in March, well down from the 10-month-high of 3.2 per cent seen the month before and below forecasts for 2.4 per cent.
The news eased investor concerns that another high figure would prompt authorities to tighten monetary policy further.
"All else equal, the more growth there can be in China, the more demand there will ultimately be for basic materials," added Briefing.com's Patrick O'Hare.
London trading was also lifted by news that manufacturing output rose 0.8 per cent in February from January, dampening speculation that the economy returned to recession in the first quarter of 2013.
However, separate data showed that Britain's trade deficit widened in February, largely because of a 1.1 per cent slide in exports amid weaker demand from the crisis-hit eurozone.
HONG KONG - Asian markets have mostly risen, boosted by positive inflation data from China, but Tokyo's winning streak ended on profit-taking as the yen edged up after hitting multi-year lows.
Wall Street also provided a strong lead ahead of the January-March corporate earnings season.
Tokyo ended flat, edging down 0.24 points to 13,192.35 following an almost 10 per cent rally since Wednesday fuelled by the Bank of Japan's (BoJ) stimulus measures.
Seoul was 0.11 per cent higher, adding 2.05 points to 1,920.74.
Shanghai was 0.64 per cent higher, adding 14.19 points to 2,225.78, while Hong Kong added 0.70 per cent, or 152.29 points, to 21,870.34.
Beijing unveiled data on Tuesday showing inflation at 2.1 per cent in March, well down from the 10-month-high 3.2 per cent seen the month before and below forecasts for 2.4 per cent.
The news eased investor concerns that another high figure would prompt authorities to tighten monetary policy further.
Chinese shares have suffered in recent months on concerns about the world's number two economy, while the recent spike in inflation fuelled expectations the government would tighten monetary policy.
Inflation is a key issue for the ruling Communist Party as it brings with it the risk of popular discontent and the threat of social unrest.
Tokyo investors have gone on a buying spree since the BoJ last week unveiled a huge stimulus package aimed at reversing decades of deflation.
The yen has lost almost eight per cent since the bank announced its shift in monetary policy that will see a flood of cash hit financial markets.
WELLINGTON - New Zealand shares fell on Tuesday, paced by Fisher & Paykel Healthcare as the kiwi dollar rose, and Fletcher Building, which faces a sluggish market in Australia.
The NZX 50 Index fell 1.99 points, or 0.04 per cent, to 4395.20. Within the index, 22 stocks rose, 17 fell and 11 were unchanged. Turnover was $112 million.

Sensuous Summer Sandal FeetBy Soft Spoken Soft Surroundings on April 19, 2010, in Beauty Knowledge Center, Hands & Feet
Sheltered in boots and closed-toed shoes, our feet tend to cautiously step into the sunshine dry, callused and – dare we say – untended. Get ready for summer with a ritual you can use all season long, both to treat yourself and to put your best feet forward.
The Art of the At-Home Pedicure
A good pedicure lifts your spirits, keeps your feet smooth, healthy and beautiful, but salon appointment $$ can add up. Get spa-like results with these easy, at-home steps.
- To start: soak your feet in warm water for about 10 minutes. Add Epsom salt or peppermint oil to relieve swelling and rejuvenate tired feet. Perhaps a glass of wine is also in order?
- Use a clean towel to pat your feet dry, taking care to dry between the toes.
- Clip the nails straight across (to avoid ingrown nails). Nails are particularly delicate when damp, so avoid using an emery board unless they are completely dry.
- Once your feet are completely dry, exfoliate the dry skin or calluses on the heels or soles of your feet with a Microplane foot file. This revolutionary tool is relatively inexpensive and works quickly and easily to remove dead skin and calluses from feet. You just use a slight amount of pressure while moving the file in a back and forth motion until your newer, softer skin is revealed.
- Massage your feet with moisturizer or peppermint oil, which cools the skin and leaves your feet smelling incredibly fresh.
- End with a generous application of moisturizer or oil to cuticles, and use a cuticle stick to gently push them back.
- Don't forget to pay a little attention to your legs! If you have discoloration or scarring on your legs, try a skin lightening cream like Skin Doctors Fade Away body cream, which uses Licorice and Bearberry to fade hyper pigmentation anywhere on the body, while Salicylic Acid exfoliates skin for a healthy glow.
Polish Them Off
Nail trends this year range from colorful hues in vibrant shades like mint green and electric blue to refined neutrals updated with plush shades of brown and gray. If you usually gravitate to neutral tones, allow yourself to experiment with more vivid color on your toes. Always start with a protective basecoat to prevent discoloring and help the polish adhere to the nail. Paint nails from the center out, removing extra polish from the sides immediately. Finish nails off with a protective topcoat to add sheen and extra longevity to the polish.
Remember the Sunscreen
After primping and preparing to show off your feet, don't forget that they'll be exposed to the sun's UV rays, too. These harmful rays can not only lead to skin disease, but they can also cause unsightly tan lines, red or peeling skin, and painful burns that make wearing sandals—or any footwear—uncomfortable. Use a minimum of 30 SPF on your feet daily to prevent burning and keep your pedicure fresh.
With monthly pedicures, protection from the sun, and boosts of moisturizer and polish as needed, your feet will stay glowing and glamorous all summer long.

This story is about the time I surprised my unsuspecting wife of nearly 30 years with the use of a dildo during oral sex and her reaction. This got her so excited that she started to masturbate. It's something she does when we're fucking when she gets really horny and I hadn't touch her pussy yet. I always enjoy when she starts masturbating during sex.
* * * * * * *
My wife, Elizabeth, and I have been married fro nearly 30 years. During that time we have done nearly every sexual act and or fantasy two people can do except threesomes or group sex. Although we have had very good fantasies about threesomes and such, we decided it was something we rather fantasize about that actually do. One of the things we had also not done is ever use any adult toys, such as dildo, vibrating or not. About a month or two ago we were laying in bed in the morning, having just work up. Elizabeth's "hint" that she is feeling frisky is that we'll be laying in bed and she stretch out and lay a leg over me. She had done that and I was laying on my side brushing my hand over her beautifully nude body, soaking in the her still silky smooth, soft skin. My hand was making large and small circles around her tummy, occasional larger circle brushing her nipples and over her pubic hair. It is a great feeling, the smoothness of her skin and than brushing her thick little furry bush. She said, " titty would like kissed." So I obliged. Than she said, "Too bad there aren't two of you so the other titty could be kissed too." To which I replied, "Maybe I could clone myself once or twice, than you could have one of us on each titty and one licking your flower." Elizabeth giggle and said, "Than you could each take turns hopping on top..." This got her so excited that she started to masturbate. It's something she does when we're fucking when she gets really horny and I hadn't touch her pussy yet. I always enjoy when she starts masturbating during sex. She rubbed her pussy to an orgasm, reached for my average 6" dick, and pulled me into her and we had a very good Saturday morning fuck. Her comments got me thinking. The next time we had sex, while I was going down on her pussy, I decided to use the handy little bottle of lubricant like a little dilo. She often enjoyed threesome fantasies of her, me and some other guy. One of her favorite fantasies was having someone fuck her from behind while she's receiving oral sex. I asked her before whether a man or woman, and she asked, "Does it matter" Knowing her for since the grade school, I knew she would prefer the fantasy of some other guy fucking her from behind while I sucked on her pussy. During this time I took the small bottle of lubricant, and not knowing exactly how she would react since I did not mention my plan to her, I slipped the small bottle, bottom first of course, up under my chin and pressed it inter her pussy. I've used my fingers before while eating her and have stroke her "G" spot, but the thicker bottle seemed to please her a lot even though it didn't have a curve to it to hit the "G" spot. She started having a good time fucking the bottle and being sucked off by me. Of course, when she started to hit her "high" and orgasm, she grabbing for me to get busy fucking her. I pulled the bottle out and jammed my cock hard into her the way she likes, all the way in hard on the first stroke. We fucked pretty hard, banging the bed into the wall. We can get away with very noisy fucking with the kids out of the house. Elizabeth never said anything about the bottle of lubricant, even though I could certainly tell she had enjoyed it. This got me thinking of being a little more daring. I decided to stop by the local "adult" store and get a dildo that was slightly bigger than my average 6" cock. I didn't want a monster size cock, at least not right away, since I planned to surprise her at the right moment and didn't want her to be intimidated. I bought fairly realistic feeling 7 1/2 " dildo that was thicker than my cock. A while back we had had a discussion while driving and I mentioned having someone with about a 7-8 inch cock about 2 inches thick fuck her. She had gotten wet and I fingered her while we drove. I knew I had to plan and approach introducing the dildo carefully. I did not plan to tell her about it, but to literally slip it into her pussy at an opportune time. About two weeks passed before the opportunity came. We had a long weekend off. We'd been swimming in our pool and had some wine afterwards. We headed inside to shower off. While she was in the shower I got out lotion to massage her with, and also slipped the dildo into the inside pocket of my bathrobe. After she showered, Elizabeth laid down on the bed on her stomach to have her massage. She had spread her legs apart so everywhere could be massaged. I proceeded to work the lotion over her shoulders, her arms, down her back, over her still very cute little ass, and down her legs. Leaving her pussy until last, butu occasionally brush over it. I could see her pussy starting to get wet. I started to focus on massaging her ass, which she really enjoys. Spreading her cheeks apart, I dribble lubricant down her crack, over her anus and pussy. I followed this with finger massaging down her crack, around her anus and started working on her pussy. I reached into my robe pocket and pulled out the 7 1/2 dildo. Elizabeth still didn't suspect a thing. I started to nibble over her ass cheeks, down her crack and anus, working my way to her delicious pussy - which was very wet from both her own juices, the lubricant and my own pre-cum that I had squeezed from my cock and mixed in. I nearly fucked her with the dildo than, but I wanted to be sucking on her pussy and clit when I slipped it into her. That is a little diffcult to do from behind. I sat up, hid the dildo, and had her turn over so her front could be massaged. She turned over and spread her legs so I could sit between them while I massaged her. Working my way back to her pussy in the same way I had done he back, I found myself nibbling around her pussy, gently suckig on and parting each of her lips, working my tongue and lips up to and over her clit. Her pussy was drenched from both her own juices, my sucking on it and the lubricant I had used. It was time for the surprise. Working the dildo up under my chin while pressing my lips against the front of her pussy, gently sucking on and around her clit, I could not actually see the dildo, but I could feel it. I was also nervous, not real sure how she would react to me slipping a dildo into her very horny, but unsuspecting pussy. As I slipped the dildo up to her pussy, it was now where she could feel "something" I'm sure as it pressed up from the back of her pussy. I was wondering if I would need to press the head of the dildo in to "make the curve" under my chin at that angle when I realized it was already about 2 inches in! Being as I had used the bottle of lube before as a makeshift little dildo, now was the "moment of truth." With my tongue and lips gently and firmly sucking on her pussy and clit the way I know she likes, I got a firm grip in the last inch of the dildo and proceed to slip the rest of it into my unsuspecting wife. Elizabeth went absolutely nuts! She started to fuck that dildo like a craze animal in heat. She definitely enjoy the larger size, plus having her pussy sucked on at the same time. I knew it was her fantasy come true. While I gently worked the thicker, longer "cock" into her and licked her excited pussy I looked up at her face. I saw something I had never seen before. She normally closes her eyes as she would cum. She had done that, but now her eyes were rolled so far back in her head from the orgasm she was experiencing that her eyelids were force open and I could see the whites of her eyes! Unfortunately, one of our sons was home so she couldn't let loose vocally. I kept fucking her with the dildo, licking and sucking on her pussy. After her initial, most intense orgasm I had ever seen her have ( I guess size, and getting oral sex at the same time, does matter!), rather than pulling it out right away I laid off slightly on licking her pussy but kept gently working the dildo in her. In a few minutes she start to orgasm again. This time, I pulled the dildo out of her now dripping pussy (it was sort of what I imagine sloppy seconds would be like) slid my raging cock straight in. She was cumming again and I joined in. When we were done fucking I slid kind of down between her legs, covering the dildo. The wild thing was, I don't think she ever actually saw the dildo, and she never said a word about it. Even though I think getting fucked by the larger dildo and enjoying her pussy being eaten at the same time was the most intense orgasm she had ever had. She still hasn't ever mentioned a word about it. I plan to keep it in reserve for "special" occasions.

Great software !!!
I had lost hope to read some SGI's CDs on my Linux box because of this stupid 512 bytes limit that is not supported on most CD readers. Thanks to CDfs I am now able to read SGI's CDs :
1. mount -t cdfs /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
2. cp /mnt/cdrom/whatever_name_cdfs_gives_to_the_data ~/cd_sgi
3. umount /mnt/cdrom
4. mount -t efs ~/cd_sgi /mnt/cdrom
And it works !!!
Thanks CDfs. Thank you Michiel !!!

"No! I won't, and you can't make me!" That's the sound of the so-called "rebellious child," heard in many homes.
It was the most common condition I witnessed among children during my many years as a psychotherapist.
Here are some characteristics, followed by a few suggestions for parents and teachers:
1. These are not "rebellious" but "oppositional" children. True rebels are willing to take responsibility for the consequences of their behavior. Oppositional kids are not. They want to do whatever they please, but want someone else to take responsibility when their actions go astray.
2. Power means polarizing. Most people use a personality style to gain power over their environment. Some feel powerful when they follow the rules. Others have a history of compliant failure and find more strength in defiant behavior. They see themselves as unable to live up to someone else's expectations.
3. Do it my way. Oppositional children have difficulty with authority and want to make decisions about issues affecting their lives.
4. Modeling oppositional behavior. Often a parent or sibling, either living inside or outside the home, exhibits these characteristics. Children can learn by watching and imitating a personality style that is successful in achieving immediate wants and needs. They don't consider long-term, negative consequences.
So, how does a parent or teacher deal with an oppositional child? The simplest answer is to teach responsible decision-making.
Here are some examples:
1. Set the limits. Let children make choices within your limits. Have them assume full responsibility for their decisions.
For instance, how about a kid who insists on having his promised ice cream cone at an inappropriate time? The parent should avoid saying "no" because this will automatically trigger an argument or a temper tantrum. Instead, mom or dad might answer something like this: "You can have your cone after dinner, tomorrow after lunch, or none at all. Which do you prefer?"
Hold firm with your limits and do not argue.
2. Natural consequences. Natural consequences are the results of behavior that a parent does not control.
If a child is thinking about breaking the law, the adult might respond with: "If you insist on committing that criminal act and are arrested, you will be responsible for whatever happens. I will not come and get you out of juvenile hall. You are on your own to deal with the choices you have made." (Remember "oppositional" characteristic No. 1 as stated earlier.)
Again, parents must stand firm on what they say.
3. Controlled consequences. These are results of a child's behavior arranged by parents.
"You may use your car on weekends but not during school nights. If you decide to drive on a school night, I'll respect your decision. I'll understand that you must have a very important reason to do so. However, if you do choose that route, there will be no use of the car at all. I hope you make a decision that's best for you."
Parents who are resistive to non-argumentative techniques often are fearful to try something off-script. They are afraid of losing the illusion of control and that the child will engage in behavior which could lead to serious harm.
One does have to use the "reasonable person" standard when using this methodology. However, in the long run, enabling defiant attitudes usually lead to far more dangerous and disastrous outcomes.
As a word of caution, I've only presented a partial picture of the oppositional child. The objective here is to give readers some insight into this commonly found personality style.
One should not go off "half-cocked" based on these described techniques without considering the consultation of a competent mental health professional. A therapist can help rule out more serious psychopathology, provide guidance and create modification plans that are specifically tailored to your unique situation.

Readers sue Lance Armstrong for book refunds
The sports star spent years vehemently denying the cheating allegations which have blighted his career, but recently went public with his confession in a televised interview with Oprah Winfrey, during which he admitted taking illicit drugs to win cycling races.
Armstrong, who was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles and his Olympic bronze medal over the doping scandal, is now facing a lawsuit from fans who bought his 2000 book It's Not About the Bike: My Journey Back to Life.
The lawsuit, filed at a federal court in California this week (beg21Jan13), names Armstrong and his book publishers as defendants and claims the plaintiffs were duped into buying the book, as well as 2003 follow-up, Every Second Counts.
The readers accuse Armstrong of fraud and false advertising for marketing the books as works of fact, rather than fiction, according to CNN.com.
Among the plaintiffs is Rob Stutzman, who worked as Arnold Schwarzenegger's deputy chief of staff while he was Governor of California, and claims to have met Armstrong before his doping confession and personally thanked him for writing the "inspiring" book.
The plaintiffs are demanding "statutorily permissible damages, attorneys' fees, expenses and costs".


text: [26/03/11] : V. 0.01 View attachment $TerrainGen3.js Small update; Faster, removed the yields in the script as well, although it stops unity while the script is thinking. For a terrain using default settings (calculating 131,072 points), it should be created in under 2 minutes; still very slow, between 1000 1200 points per second. I found some extra time these past couple of days, and decided I'd play with Unity for a bit. I figured that I'd come up with a procedural terrain system allowing overhangs, tunnels, etc. I started last night, and got some of it working this morning. I began by looking up perlin noise, and making my own implementation of 3d perlin noise (or something similar) using the now-accessible multi-dimensional builtin arrays. I have it working, but it is incredibly slow, as it always seems to be with codes in the first little while after writing them. Also, I'm making the terrain out of cubes, which means that it resembles minecraft a lot (hopefully I can change this by using something similar to marching cubes, and then smoothing). It does work very similarly to minecraft, in that they both use 3d perlin noise. I also decided to generate terrain in blocks, because it seems to be the only feasible method to generate terrain in real time and save it (I'm still not there yet). Well, I'm posting it in this early stage because I figure it could be a useful start for others who might know a lot more about this type of thing than me. I'm also not sure how much time I'll have in the next little while to improve it. More notes can be found in the script itself. Some blocky terrain generated by the script (cubes are prefabs) Overdraw view of perlin noise (not terrain, see notes in script) Settings: Terrain Blocks : The amount of blocks in the x y directions the script creates. (4 would be a 4x4 grid of terrain blocks) Cube : A cube prefab goes here. Detail Size : The distance between integral areas, or at least that's how I like to describe it. Basically, the size of the noise. (since it's not limited to a terrain size) Persistence : How noisy the terrain will be. (persistence in Perlin noise) Octaves :Amount of iterations it goes through, in which size and persistence change each iteration. (octaves in Perlin noise) Terrain Size : The length and width of a terrain block; the total size of the terrain is (Terrain Size)^2*(Terrain Blocks)^2. Terrain Height : The maximum height of the terrain (average height is half of this) Seeded : The random terrain seed. The same seed will always generate the same terrain.

Putting together a cloud storage strategy and implementing it isn't the easiest for IT managers. Choosing the vendor whose software or hardware will enable the company's data to be put into the cloud and then deciding on a cloud storage provider that will store data presents all sorts of problems - what type of data you want to store in the cloud, how you want to get it there and how much it is going to cost you are just some of the problems you'll encounter.
There are vendors such as Twinstrata and Nasuni, who offer cloud gateway products that let you store both unstructured and structured data in the cloud. There are companies such as AT&T Synaptic SaaS, Rackspace and Amazon S3 that offer bulk storage services where you can store your backup, eDiscovery or archive data. And, there are companies such as EMC and NetApp that let you build private cloud infrastructures in your data centers.
But there are few companies, if any, that offer all three capabilities -- cloud gateway, private cloud enablement and public cloud service provider capabilities -- until Nirvanix.
What I didn't know about Nirvanix would fill volumes of information. I had thought of the company only as a cloud storage provider until I had a recent conversation with Nirvanix President and CEO Scott Genereux and Steve Zivanic, vice president of marketing.
Nirvanix has five products or services that make up its CloudComplete offering:
• Its well-known Nirvanix Storage Delivery Network (SDN), which is the company's public cloud service provider.
• A cloud gateway for storing unstructured backup and archive data called CloudNAS.
• The Nirvanix Web Services API, which allows access to the Nirvanix Storage Delivery Network.
• A hybrid cloud product called hNode, which is the company's private and public cloud software.
• Its Nirvanix Management Portal, which allows customers visibility into and management of the usage and status of their account.
The Nirvanix Storage Delivery Network (SDN) is a public cloud infrastructure for unstructured data. Unlike other cloud storage providers, Nirvanix allows customers to choose where their data resides. Data can reside in any one or several of Nirvanix's seven worldwide SAS 70 Type II compliant data centers. These data centers provide multi-tenancy, encryption, as well as a redundant and load balanced infrastructure.
The Nirvanix SDN is policy-based - it auto-detects customer location and routes data to the closest available node. In the event of data center outage, data is rerouted to the next closest node and multi-replica copies are kept to meet customer service-level agreements. All replication of data between Nirvanix data centers is managed by the SDN.
The Nirvanix SDN is based on a pay-per-use model. Storage is available starting at $0.25/GB/month depending on the level of redundancy chosen. For example, a single node SDN implementation would cost $0.25/GB/month and a three-node SDN implementation where data is replicated among three data centers, offering five-nines of availability would cost $0.71/GB/month. Uploads of data cost $0.30/GB and downloads cost $0.15/GB, a price comparable to other cloud storage providers.
CloudNAS software, which is available at no charge to users, allows any Windows or Linux file server or NAS appliance to act as a CIFS/NFS gateway to the Nirvanix Storage Delivery Network. The Nirvanix CloudNAS uses the Nirvanix Web Services API to access the Nirvanix Storage Delivery Network.
The Nirvanix Web Services API is a standards-based API accessible via SOAP or REST protocols over HTTP or Secure-HTTP.
Nirvanix augments the CloudNAS and SDN with hNode private cloud software. The hNode allows customer-site nodes to be federated into the public SDN. HNodes provide low-cost local storage with the ability to replicate into the cloud based on policy.
Investors believing in Nirvanix's story by providing more than $45 million in venture-backed funding include Intel Capital, Valhalla Partners, Mission Ventures and Windward Ventures.
With more than 700 customers including NBC Universal, Fox Sports, Cisco and NASA and partners such as HP, Dell, Symantec and CommVault, Nirvanix is set to take a major share in the nascent cloud storage industry. Research conducted by Storage Strategies NOW finds that among the cloud storage providers chosen that Nirvanix placed in the top three along side Amazon S3 and AT&T Synaptic SaaS. All in all, Nirvanix offers end-to-end cloud storage capability, satisfying the needs of IT managers everywhere.

Although we often call them "bladder stones" in dogs, they are also known as urinary calculi and the condition is referred to as urolithiasis. Stones may actually form anywhere in the entire urinary tract. The urinary stones in dogs can be found in the kidneys, ureters (tiny tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder), bladder, or urethra (the tube from the bladder to the outside of the animal). However, in the dog, over 85% of stones are found within the bladder itself.
Signs and diagnosis of bladder stones in dogs
Dogs with bladder stones may have blood in their urine and may urinate frequently, passing only small quantities each time. Often, they will strain while urinating, holding their body in the urinating posture for much longer than normal. They may lick their genital area more than normal. Some dogs with bladder stones may show no signs at all, and the stones are discovered while palpating the abdomen during a routine physical exam.
In other cases, the diagnosis of bladder stones in dogs is made or confirmed with abdominal x-rays. Most stones are radiopaque, meaning they show up on the radiographic film as obvious white circles or shapes just as bones do. A few are radiolucent, where the x-ray beams pass right through and therefore, they do not show up on the finished film. To confirm the presence of these types of stones, a special dye is passed into the bladder and it outlines the stones in the x-ray. With this method, we see a white area (the dye) with a black hole in the center (the stone).
How bladder stones are formed
Bladder stones are formed by minerals, which first precipitate out in the urine as individual microscopic crystals. Over time, these crystals unite and small grains of sand-like material may be formed. Once these first grains are present, additional precipitation forms on their surface and the tiny specks are gradually built into stones that sometimes reach 3" to 4" in diameter.
Types of bladder stones in dogs
There are several different types of bladder stones in dogs, depending on their chemical make-up. Struvite stones are composed of magnesium ammonium phosphate. Others are made of calcium oxalate, calcium phosphate, cystine, ammonium urate, or other chemical compounds. Some stones can actually be a combination of these. Each type of stone has its own different peculiarities as to which breed is most often affected and what factors affect the formation.
What causes bladder stones in dogs?
The process by which bladder stones develop is really quite simple, but what causes it to occur only in certain dogs, cats, or humans? Factors that influence the development of stones include genetic predisposition, the concentration of the stone constituents in the urine, urine pH, and the presence of bacterial infections.
Genetics: The genetically controlled physiology of some animals causes them to produce within their bodies the higher levels of the substances that are precursors of the crystals. They are then excreted or formed in the urine. We have no way of testing to predetermine in which individual dog or line of dogs this will occur.
Concentration of stone constituents: The higher the urine concentration of the constituents that make up the stones, the higher the risk that stones will form. The concentration of these constituents can be influenced by the amount of minerals and protein in the diet, the amount of water the animal drinks, and the animal's unique metabolism.
Urine pH: The acidity or alkalinity of the urine influences whether the stone constituents will remain dissolved or form stones. Some stones, such as struvite, form in alkaline urine, whereas others, including calcium oxalate stones, are more apt to form in acidic urine. The urine pH is largely influenced by diet.
Bacterial Infections: Bacterial infections of the bladder (referred to as cystitis) play the major role in struvite stone information for two reasons:
Bacterial infections tend to make the urine more alkaline (with a pH higher than 7.0) which enhances the formation of struvite crystals. This is important in this specific condition as struvite crystals are more apt to remain in solution if the liquid is acidic (with a pH lower than 7.0). That is, they would continue to be dissolved in the liquid and no crystals would form.
By-products of bacterial metabolism may enhance crystal formation. Many of the bacteria that cause a cystitis (bladder infection) also produce an enzyme (a compound that causes chemical reactions to occur) called urease. Urease reacts with urea molecules found in the urine to form ammonia and carbon dioxide. The ammonia is slowly converted to ammonium ions, while the carbon dioxide unites with other compounds, freeing up phosphates. Then, through a chain of chemical reactions that seem to feed on each other, the magnesium that is normally present within the urine unites with the ammonium and phosphate to form magnesium ammonium phosphate crystals (struvite). If the crystals are formed rapidly and in large quantities, they will unite together to form stones. However, if only small amounts are formed over a longer period of time, they would simply be flushed out in the urine without producing any problems.
Treatment of bladder stones in dogs
Treatment of bladder stones may involve choices for the owners and veterinarians - that is, either to treat medically or surgically. Options vary according to the size, type and location of the stone(s).
Surgery: The surgical removal of stones within the bladder is referred to as cystotomy, meaning an opening of the bladder. With the dog under anesthesia and lying on his back, an incision is made through the abdominal wall in front of the pelvis. The bladder is exposed and lifted out through the incision. Urine is collected for culture and analysis, the bladder is opened and the stones are removed. The bladder and urethra are flushed with sterile saline solution to wash out any small or microscopic particles. The bladder is then closed with sutures as is the abdominal wall. The patient is placed on antibiotics and usually sent home the following day. The bladder stones are sent to a laboratory for analysis to determine their chemical make-up and the remainder of the therapy will vary depending on the results.
Urohydropropulsion: To perform urohydropropulsion, the dog is anesthetized and a urinary catheter is placed. Through the catheter, the bladder is filled with sterile saline. The dog is then held in an upright position and, by hand, the veterinarian compresses the bladder, forcing the solution back out, and with it, the stones. Urohydropropulsion is used when the stones are very small and are sure to pass through the urethra.
In situations where a stone has lodged in the ureters or urethra, the condition is a life or death matter that must be resolved immediately. Urinary obstructions lead to kidney shut down and death. If there are stones caught in the urethra, which is especially common in male dogs, we try to back-flush them into the bladder before it is opened. If this cannot be done, an incision must be made directly through the urethral wall where the stone is located. In the rare case where stones are lodged in a ureter, an incision would have to be made at the site. Some work is being done using ultrasonic waves to destroy stones in these situations, but it is not readily available. This technique is more common in human medicine and may eliminate the need for surgery.
Medical Management: Struvite and ammonium urate stones are examples of stones that may be able to be dissolved through dietary management. For struvite stones, it is also very important to control urinary tract infections. Calcium oxalate stones, on the other hand, generally need to be removed through surgery or urohydropropulsion.
Medical therapy can be used by itself or in conjunction with the surgery. After the diagnosis and x-rays, pretreatment laboratory work entails culturing the urine for bacteria and a performing a urinalysis to determine what type of crystals are present along with the pH of the urine. After we determine what crystals are present in the urine, we know what type of stone is probably present and we try to modify the environment in the dog's bladder to prevent further formation of stones. This may be done through a combination of antibiotic therapy, use of special foods, increasing water consumption, and inhibiting the activity of urease in cases involving struvite stones.
Treatment of urinary tract infections: In the case of struvite bladder stones in dogs, it is vitally important to treat any urinary infections and prevent further infections from occurring. If there is a an infection present, a culture and sensitivity is done to determine the appropriate antibacterial medications to use and then treatment is initiated.
Diet Alteration: Diet alternation may be helpful in the medical treatment of struvite and ammonium urate stones. Specially formulated diets can actually cause the stones - even large ones - to dissolve completely. These diets take time, often 60 to 150 days, to work.
To take struvite and Hill's s/d diet as an example, the principle by which s/d works is that it contains lower than normal levels of large proteins, magnesium, and phosphorous. Less protein means less urea, and therefore, less ammonium and carbon dioxide formed by the action of urease. Remember that struvite is made up of magnesium and phosphate ions, so lower levels of these materials also decrease the quantity of crystals that can potentially be formed. Feeding s/d helps the urine become more acidic. And last but not least, Hill's has slightly increased the sodium chloride (normal table salt) to increase water consumption by the animal, thereby increasing a flushing action through the bladder and better keeping the crystals in solution.
However, s/d cannot be used indefinitely as a preventive because it is not considered a complete diet. Also, it is not recommended for use in patients suffering from heart failure or kidney disease because of its salt and protein levels. After the initial 60 to 150 day period, when medical therapy is actively attempting to dissolve the stones or sand that is present in the bladder, the animal is removed from s/d and placed on a maintenance diet such as Hill's c/d or w/d. Royal Canin, Purina, and some other companies have also developed specialized diets for use with dogs with urinary stones. If a dog is reluctant to eat one manufacturer's diet, it is advisable to try diets produced by another company.
Prior to the development of specialized diets, urinary acidifiers such as vitamin C or dl-methionine were sometimes used to lower the pH of the urine in cases of struvite stones, for example. Specialty diets are now preferred since they alter not only the pH, but the concentration on stone-forming constituents. Remember: Do NOT give urinary acidifiers when you are using one of the specialty diets that also acidify urine.
Increase Water Consumption: Water consumption may be increased by using canned diets instead of dry foods. Also, plain water can be added to dry diets. Using flavored dilute broths, water in which hot dogs have been boiled, etc., may also increase water consumption. Some owners have used clicker training as a way to increase their dog's water consumption.
Urinary stones may be found in any portion of the urinary tract. Based on the composition of the stone, size, and location, the stone may be physically removed or a special diet may be used to dissolve the stone. To prevent recurrence, special diets are fed, water consumption is increased, and the pH of the urine is managed. Controlling urinary tract infections is especially important in preventing recurrence of struvite stones.

A woman who was punched in the head and thrown across a Melbourne bar while trying to stop a fight at a fancy dress party thought a group of men would kill her husband.
Kelly O'Connell, 28, was at a Halloween party at the Randy Dragon bar on Flinders Lane with friends on Saturday, October 29, when a fight broke out between several men, including her husband.
"I honestly just thought ...they were going to kill him so I jumped in," she said.''I don't regret it. I think everything happens for a reason, I just predict that something worse could have happened but I wouldn't encourage anyone to (do the same)."
The Prahran sales manager, who went to the costume party dressed as a boxer, was punched to the side of the head by one of the men so hard that she was thrown several metres across the room. Her jaw was fractured in three places and some of her teeth were dislodged.
Her attacker, who is described as a Caucasian man aged in his 20s or 30s with blondish hair and a solid build, ran away with the other men when the bar's bouncers came to break up the fight.
At a press conference today, Ms O'Connell said she had left her costume boxing gloves - which contained her and her husband's wallets - on a couch behind her while they went on the dance floor.
When she noticed the gloves were missing, she said she and her husband, Steven Schmidt, split up to look for them.
Mr Schmidt approached a group of men who were holding the gloves behind their backs, and appeared to be joking around.
"I tried to explain the situation, (saying) 'No, our wallets, our IDs, our keys are in there.' I made an attempt to get the gloves and the next thing I know the three gentlemen just jumped on me and I was on the ground from that point on," he said.
An emotional Ms O'Connell's voice faltered as she described watching her husband being punched and pushed on the floor: "I turned back around and I saw ... I saw he was on the ground. I didn't know what to do."
"So I tried to push the guys off him and said 'get off him' and then next thing I know I was just hit. I was probably in shock but I fell to the ground (on all fours) and I just saw blood come out of my mouth."
She looked for her teeth on the ground, thinking they had been knocked out of her mouth.
I was probably in shock but I fell to the ground (on all fours) and I just saw blood come out of my mouth.
Ms O'Connell said she was still in pain from the attack, which had left her face swollen and a wound in her mouth that has not yet healed. Two titanium plates had to be fixed to her jaw and a separate metal plate was in her neck.
She has only been able to go back to work for a few days since the attack.
Her husband suffered minor injuries and no one else was harmed in the attack.
The pair, from Chicago in the United States, had been married for two months and in Australia together since January when the attack took place.
"I think Melbourne is an awesome place, I think I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. It's definitely safer than America from what I've experienced," Ms O'Connell said.
Leading Senior Constable Scott Nolan called the altercation a "gutless and callous attack".
"We're hoping ... that he'll come forward, it might be weighing heavily on his conscience that he's done the wrong thing," Constable Nolan said.
Police have obtained security footage of the attack, which they say involved six men, he said.
Police are now appealing for witnesses or anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit www.crimestoppers.com.au.

WHEN the story broke last Friday that David Beckham might come to Australia, cynics quickly scoffed ''impossible''.
More generous souls gave the dreamers the benefit of some doubt and nodded that while it was improbable, it was, at least, something worth considering.
It's probably still unlikely, but now that the former England captain has formally advised LA Galaxy that he will be leaving the MLS club at season's end in a few weeks' time, the tantalising possibility of Beckham in the A-League seems plausible.
Three clubs - Perth Glory, Central Coast Mariners and Melbourne Heart - have formally tabled their interest. Intriguingly, they are teams that, whatever their on-field success, could be described as peripheral to the competition either by geography (Perth) or the size of their crowds (Heart and the Mariners).
For them Beckham would be an extraordinary turbo charger. While Alessandro Del Piero has been an enormous boost for Sydney, the Beckham effect would be on another scale entirely, however much football purists might like to argue the case.
Glory having a Beckham on the books would catapult the team from the west right to the heart of national consciousness.
For the Mariners it would, at a stroke, remove the provincial image that hinders them in the market place for sponsors.
For Heart, grabbing the signature of Beckham would surely be a game changer, especially as cross-town rival Melbourne Victory was the first to rule itself out of the race, coach Ange Postecoglou declaring last week that he simply was not interested.
The prospect of Beckham playing 10 games as a guest player in a Heart shirt could, at a stroke, lift the club's average home gate from 8000 to 25,000 and swell attendances everywhere he travelled. It would also substantially lift the club's profile in the local media, where it often plays second fiddle to Victory.
All three are intriguing possibilities, especially with the blandishments on offer.
The Mariners have got entrepreneur John Singleton enough on side for the bid to have the advertising mogul throw in the prospect of the Beckhams using his eight-bedroom holiday mansion as their home base. The property usually is rented out at $2500 a night, so exclusive hardly does it justice.
Heart chief executive Scott Munn said the Victorian club was prepared to pay Beckham $1 million for his 10-game stint, reasoning that the payback would be incalculable - especially if they could persuade him to make the move longer.
''We are making a seven-figure cash offer for the 10 matches and we have a whole range of sponsors and commercial partners to back us,'' said Munn. ''There would be enormous payback.
''This is the sort of deal that could supercharge the club and the league and if we could get him for 10 games then, of course, we would try to get him to stay longer.
''He is one of the biggest name sportsmen in the world - up there with the likes of Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan - so the cut through he has in the marketplace is vast.
''We believe he could deliver a massive boost in revenues, sponsorship and earnings for a club like ours, as well as build support and lift our image.''
While Australian clubs cannot match the money on offer in places such as the Middle East, China, other parts of south-east Asia and a handful of clubs from the former Soviet republics, local officials hope that the lifestyle and security afforded by Sydney, Melbourne or Perth is a big selling point.
The economy is stable, as is the political system, and crime and violence are much lower than in other parts of the world.
The biggest challenge might come from a cashed-up European club, such as Paris Saint-Germain, which is now fuelled by the limitless resources of its Qatari owners. Last year PSG made a determined bid to hook Beckham but he opted to stay in Los Angeles for one more year.
At this stage of his career he might fancy a finale that would see him living and playing in the French capital and enjoying a swansong in the Champions League.
With wife Victoria's interest in fashion, being part of the City of Light's jet set might be irresistible.
We're the community club of the A-League and while David has a worldwide brand, part of his success has been that he's a down-to-earth guy who is very family conscious. That's what our club is about and David would be a perfect fit for us, which is why we're going to make a very strong bid. Chairman PETER TURNBULL
We as a club would be mad not to seriously consider David Beckham. Perth is a great city and is up there with every city in the world in attracting anyone to come visit. He's got young kids as well and it's close to Asia. I think Perth, as a city, offers lots to people in relation to coming here, not just about if the money is right. Chief executive PAUL KELLY
I can't put a percentage term on it but what I can say is that it's certainly real, we're putting forward an offer, it's compelling and the opportunity is here for him to come here. That is absolutely legitimate. Chief executive SCOTT MUNN
Once David Beckham ends his season with LA Galaxy the race is on. We don't want to cause any dramas for him or his club right now, we respect the position he is in, but we're serious at getting one of the world's best known footballers to Adelaide United. We are positioning ourselves to give us the best possible chance. Chairman GREG GRIFFIN
Others to express interest include Paris Saint-Germain, Shanghai Shenhua and Tottenham, as well as American rapper Snoop Dogg, who is planning a bid to buy Scottish club Celtic.

Funeral bonds and prepaid funerals
Although it is not something that everybody wishes to consider, there can be benefits in planning and paying for some aspects of your funeral now.
Paying for funeral costs now
There are a number of reasons why you may wish to pay some, or all, of your funeral costs now. These may include:
- saving surviving family members the financial burden of arranging and paying for your funeral at such an emotional time
- knowing in advance exactly where you will be buried and what funeral services you will receive
- reducing the effect of increasing costs
- receiving a favourable assessment from us
Funeral preparations can include pre-purchasing a burial plot, pre-paying funeral expenses or investing in funeral bonds.
Burial plots
A burial plot is a specific place or a right to be interred at a general location. For example a cemetery plot, an internment niche, a mausoleum or any available plot in a specific cemetery.
How we assess burial plots
A burial plot is not included in your assessable assets, regardless of its value. You do not need to tell us about a burial plot that you own.
Prepaid funeral expenses
Prepaid funeral expenses exist where you have arranged and purchased your funeral in advance. The type and style of funeral you want is set out in a contract and paid for at an agreed price. You can pay this directly to the funeral director, who will invest the funds in a funeral trust, or you can purchase a funeral bond and assign the benefit to the funeral director.
The risk of the investment not keeping pace with rising funeral costs lies with the funeral director. You will not need to pay any more if prices rise. The payment cannot be refunded unless you move outside the designated funeral service area.
How we assess pre-paid funeral expenses
We will not include the amount that you prepay to a funeral director or invest in a funeral bond that is assigned to a funeral director. You must have a contract that sets out the services to be undertaken where no more expenses need to be paid.
You do not need to tell us about any prepaid funeral expenses, unless you also own a funeral bond.
Funeral bonds
Funeral bonds are sometimes called funeral investments. These are managed investments that earn interest, but have the following specific features:
- the interest must be added to the capital
- the capital and interest is only realised on death when it is paid to the estate or to the funeral director to cover funeral expenses, and
- your money is invested in an independently managed funeral fund
How we assess funeral bonds
Funeral bonds that are assigned to funeral directors as prepayment for contracted services are assessed as prepaid funeral services. For other funeral bonds, we will not include the value of up to 2 bonds provided the following 2 criteria are met:
- you do not also have prepaid funeral expenses, and
- the amount invested in the bonds to be exempted does not exceed the Funeral Bond Allowable Limit
The Funeral Bond Allowable Limit as at 1 July 2016 is $12,500 and is indexed in line with CPI pension increases every 1 July.
You may have a joint funeral bond. If you do, we consider it a single bond when assessing your allowable limit. You and your partner may both contribute towards the single bond, in which case we assess both contributions against the Funeral Bond Allowable Limit.
Funeral bonds that are not exempt are treated as financial investments. Your share of the current value including interest is included in your assessable assets and is deemed to be earning income under the deeming rules. You should receive an annual statement from the provider advising you:
- the current value including any interest received to date and whether it is individually or jointly owned; and
- when the value of a non-exempt bond increases
If you have an interest in a number of funeral bonds where 1 or 2 but not all can be exempt, you can choose to make exempt whichever combination of bonds would be most financially advantageous for you. You will need to calculate the greatest assessable value that you can be exempted. We can assist you with this if you provide the amount paid and the current value of each of your bonds and whether they are individually or jointly owned.
You must tell us about any funeral bonds that you own, even if you know they are exempt from assessment.
For exempt funeral bonds, we will need to know how much has been invested by you and any joint investor and whether it is individually or jointly owned.
If you do not know which, if any, of your bonds can be exempt, you must provide documentation that shows:
- the amount invested in each bond
- the current value of each bond
- whether they are individually or jointly owned, and
- whether you have a contract with a funeral director
If you have an exempt bond, you do not need to tell us if the only change is that you earn interest from the investment.
However, you do need to tell us if you:
- make an additional payment or instalment to the bond
- invest in another bond, or
- jointly own a bond and the other owner dies

I shared some early thoughts about the top three hitters at the NHSI high school tournament last week. Before I jump into the new names I saw later in the week, here's some updated thoughts on those three:
- Grayson HS (GA) CF Austin Meadows (Clemson signee) had an underwhelming first three days of NHSI due to a lack of hard contact against marginal pitching, but bounced back with a 3-for-3 performance on day four to finish with a solid stat line: 5-10, 2 doubles, 2 walks, 1 strikeout. My longer form thoughts from earlier in the week still stand and, after looking at some video, I spotted some mechanical problems in his swing that may be to blame.
I saw 10 of Meadows' 13 plate appearances at the event and a number of high level scouts saw even more of them. They will no doubt be going to see Meadows again before the draft and I'll be in Atlanta in a few weeks to get another look as well. I have Meadows in the 7-11 range in my rankings right now (new top 50 coming soon) and time is running out for him to impress clubs that are still on the fence. He has very good tools and some feel in the batter's box but I'm not alone in having concerns about his ability to be an impact bat; his market is still unsettled. Pittsburgh (who has the 9th and 14th overall picks) were among the teams bearing down on Meadows and while the Pirates may be a logical fit, it only takes one team and Meadows could be long gone by pick number nine. I'll have a full scouting report and video up later this week on Meadows.
- Lexington HS (SC) C Nick CIuffo (South Carolina signee) was about the same each of the four days, so my comments on him are largely still accurate. He's athletic for the position, projects to stick behind the plate and has above average pop but won't be a high average hitter. His approach is more for power, there's a little swing and miss and he has some trouble with good off-speed stuff. He still fits in the late first to sandwich round area.
- Eustis HS (FL) C Chris Okey (Clemson signee) had a tough tournament but while fellow Clemson signee Meadows' issues may be longer-term, Okey's seem short-term. Okey has below average power and has always been more of a contact-oriented guy. In this event, Okey got too contact-oriented, getting his foot down too early and messing up his timing. Okey slots just behind Ciuffo for many scouts due to the lack of power, but he's a better athlete--an average runner, rare for the position-- and also fits in the late first to sandwich round area.
Here are some thoughts on some additional hitters from my trip, led off by likely top 10 pick, North Carolina 3B Colin Moran.
- Moran, junior 3B for the Tar Heels, has slowly been rising on draft boards due in part to his improved defense but also a weak class of college bats. Moran and San Diego 3B Kris Bryant look to be the only college hitters sure to go in the top 20 picks and both of them look like good bets to go in the top 10 picks. A VP, director or crosschecker for nine of the clubs picking in the top twelve were in attendance for Saturday's series opener versus Clemson. It was a convenient game with NHSI happening nearby and mostly ending before it got dark and the Saturday series start enabled scouts to see top starters for another series on Friday then again on Saturday in Chapel Hill.
Moran is a late-blooming, undrafted northern player due both to the weather and competition in New York and the longer time it takes for bigger players (he's listed at 6'3, 215 pounds but looks bigger in person) to grow into their frames athletically. He has big league bloodlines with former Tar Heel, 19 year big leaguer and 1985 MLB Draft 1st overall pick B.J. Surhoff as his uncle. I'll save the in-depth breakdown for his scouting report, but Moran can stick at third base and has a sweet swing from the left side. The question is if his fringy current raw power will improve and/or be enough to profile at the hot corner.
- Ryan McMahon, 3B from Mater Dei HS (CA) and USC signee checks all the scouting boxes with an long-limbed, projectable, athletic 6'3, 195-pound frame and showed some loud tools at NHSI. He had some trouble early on, expanding his zone and having inconsistent hitting mechanics, but really hit his stride once he settled in. McMahon's frame could add 20+ pounds so while he's more physical than Moran was at the same age, there are some similarities with the defensive profile, developing frame and lefty swings. McMahon shows the tools to stick at third and present raw power from the left side to profile easily at the hot corner. The length to his arms and legs create some problems for him in terms on repeating his swing, but he's still growing into his body and he showed excellent mechanics later in the week with power showing up in games. McMahon could go anywhere from the sandwich round to the third round depending on how his bat progresses, but I'd bet he doesn't make it out of the second round.
- Jeremy Martinez, catcher and McMahon's teammate from Mater Dei HS (CA) is likewise a USC signee and has had a very different development path than his teammate. Martinez has a very mature frame listed at 5'11, 200 pounds and scouts openly commented this week that he peaked as a freshman or sophomore at Mater Dei, when he showed very similar tools. He can stick behind the plate with good quickness for his size and an above average arm, but the bat is the question mark. Martinez has some feel for hitting and a contact approach with limited power like Okey, but his carbon copy of Albert Pujols' mechanics don't do him any favors. Martinez doesn't have the tools to hit for average with that swing and doesn't have the strength to hit for power. He's hitting with wood this spring to give scouts a better idea of his ability, but he's more of a third to fifth round pick that may end up on campus.
- Nick Longhi, 1B/RF from Venice HS (FL) and LSU signee is one of the younger players in the draft class and has hit everywhere he's played but has some real warts scouts are having trouble getting over. Longhi is maxed-out at 6'2, 210 pounds and hits from the right side where he taps into his power in games, but his raw juice is below average and doesn't project to be more than average. He's a well below average runner and has the arm to play right field now but will eventually move to first base. He's a fourth to sixth round pick for me and scouts love him, but can't find the tools to justify taking him much higher. Longhi would be well-served by going to LSU, putting up numbers and going a few rounds higher in 2016 as a college performer.
- Three other draft-eligible hitters I saw this weekend are worth mentioning in short. Harvard-Westlake HS (CA) had two first rounders last year in LHP Max Fried (Padres) and RHP Lucas Giolito (Nationals) but the Wolverines' best 2013 draft prospect is C Arden Pabst. Pabst has similar tools to fellow southern California backstop Martinez but doesn't have the same athleticism or feel for hitting. Pabst has a good chance to end up at Georgia Tech next spring. Maryland junior 1B Tim Kiene and Clemson junior 3B Shane Kennedy both showed some power in batting practice and some idea how to hit, but both may be low-end enough prospects (8th to 15th round types, Kiene due to body/position and Kennedy due to contact issues) that they'll opt to return to school for their seniors seasons.

New Hampshire Union Members Celebrate Enormous Electoral Wins
Source: New Hampshire Labor News
By Matt Murra
For weeks now union members have been canvassing New Hampshire as part of the Labor 2012 campaign. After making thousands of phone calls and spending every free moment knocking on doors, all of our hard work paid off!
With our help New Hampshire cast its four electoral votes for President Obama as part of his reelection last night. This is great news for New Hampshire and the rest of the Nation.
Here in New Hampshire many of the union locals are more excited about the other races. We banded together to defeat Ovide Scott Walker on Steroids Lamontagne in electing Maggie Hassan as our next Governor. She has already assured us that she will veto any anti-worker legislation including Right To Work for less. Ensuring that we have a labor friendly Governor was the most important part of preserving collective bargaining in New Hampshire. While Right To Work has already been proposed for next years session, we can rest assured it will not pass.
We also celebrated huge victories in our Congressional candidates. Annie Kuster defeated Congressman Charlie Bass (NH-02). We worked with Annie, who received the endorsement from almost every labor organization in the state. Congressman Bass voted to turn Medicare into a Voucher system and gut Social Security. While Annie campaigned on preserving the middle class and protecting our workers.

3. In-state gains were even more amazing:
NH has an executive council which governs alongside the governor. It was 5-0 R after 2010, and now is 3-2 D.
The state senate moved from 19-5 R to 13-11 R, and the house totally flipped, changing from 293-104 R to 217-177 D. (A few still out in both)

All were as transitory as smoke, as illusionary as the opium-eater's mid-day dream.
One can never hope to surpass the illusionary appearance of a tableau vivant.
What is it in this world that we love to believe real is not illusionary,—the question of duration being the only difference?
In this sentence there is expressed full knowledge of the illusionary nature of the lower personality.
In short, their arguments are illusionary in proportion as they themselves value them.

text: Sam is back, so that's my stint as guest editor over. Its been an interesting week combining cycling in the rain to find wifi with smiling and sometimes crying at the blog posts i read. I loved haynet from the first moment Sam found me, the bloggers on the site there are so friendly and thoughtful - way different from some of the blogging sites I've found trawling the Internet. It's been an incredible few days, and while I've loved it I also deeply regret that I hadn't got more time to put into it and so like Sam I was on the site at either end of my busy day, making the time rather than finding it. I've really enjoyed reading everyone's posts, from the experienced riders who are refining their riding by degrees, to those who are struggling just to find the confidence to stick at it. I've been both, competed at a high level and also at one stage found myself so nervous I wanted to get off if the horse lifted his head to look at something. It's been a funny old week so far. I've given up trying to sell my house and instead am going to rent a house with some land so I can bring the horses with me. This week we found the perfect house, in the middle of nowhere, with some land and a gorgeous old garden. But then, after I'd spent two days looking at the pictures and getting to know the house the estate agents pulled the rug from under us - the land wasn't going to be included. I'm longing to get out of Ireland. Apart for the fact I'm longing to start. New life with my brilliant boyfriend home in England I hate the climate in Ireland and really hate having to live so close to my ex husband. Even though he built a house near mine and I can't actually see his, I still know he's there and I don't really feel safe with him around. So that's that. Back to square one again. This evening, taking advantage of the unusually hot weather I left the horses out until late. I'd have liked to have left them out all night,but at the ,moment my land shares a gate with my ex husband so I daren't risk leaving them out as I don't trust him not to leave the gate open. This evening my horses were grazing in my garden. At 10 when it had finally cooled down I went out, blissfully still in my sundress and sandles. Pearl wears grazing on the bank at the back of the house. I hooked my fingers in her head collar and led her to the barn. She is pure white with a long, long forelock and is really the most beautiful horse I've ever seen. The others didn't come so I fetched kin sale, my baby. He, like pearl walked beside me to the barn. He's so handsome, already with such a kind, wise eye. The teenage, Lauren wanna be filly came next. Then I stayed in the barn stroking each of them over their stable doors, breathing in their smell... What on earth is it that makes us lobe them so much? I don't know but being on haynet this week made me realise that each I'd us is deeply hooked into the horse. I've loved it - Thank you for having me.
