I know how this sounds, but hear me out.
All three of my kids fall into this category. They aren't bad at sports and they aren't incredibly gifted athletes either. They are good athletes. I'm guessing that the majority of you may also be dealing with this issue. It's called "potential."
That's right. A kid with "potential "offers an abundance of unique challenges because our "good athlete" path is so unclear.
I sometimes feel that it might be nice if one of my kids wasn't sporty … obvious from an early age that they wouldn't be competing for a spot on any high school, college or professional team. There are many more admirable things these kids will go on to accomplish. I'm certain it can be tough at times for the parents of the non-sporty kid to witness other moms and dads holding their breath when their child is at bat or put into the game at a crucial moment, but these parents can at least accept the facts and relax. And why not? Despite a few tough moments and some bumps and bruises both literally and figuratively, the path is clear and these parents don't need to spend a lot of time, money or worry devoted to making decisions about their child's future in sports. Their kids play for fun, exercise or because their parents understand the important life lessons they can gain through playing sports.
On the other end of the spectrum are the parents of gifted athletes. They also have a fairly clear path. These kids are also typically easy to spot early on. They are the ones who have been plucked out of the lineup since they were five. They're the kids who are always on the travel teams, the all-star teams, the ODP squads, the junior national, etc., etc. They seem destined for a golden future – college level and beyond. Many who fall into this group have ended up on the best teams with the best coaches and the best training. The super-kid athletes seem like they were born to play sports. And they excel not at just one sport, but every one they decide to play. Seems like an easy enough job to parent them, although I'm sure they would have their own lists of gripes that might include the immense pressure these kids and parents probably feel.
Then there is the third group. My group and for the majority of you who are probably reading this right now … the "good" athletes. Our children aren't superstars, they aren't on the top club team or MVPs, but definitely good enough to compete well on these teams. And that is exactly why this "potential" issue is so darn tough.
The possibility of greatness is hard to ignore – it seems to exist, or does it? And therein lies the struggle. It's why we push so hard. "Potential" is dangling in front of our kids, consistently just out of reach. Our children are strong competitors, love sports and could be elite athletes one day. Or not. They aren't there yet, but could they be? Michael Jordan, arguably the best player to ever play the game of basketball, was cut from his varsity team as a sophomore; Carmelo Anthony was cut as a freshman in high school, and what about Lionel Messi, the best soccer player in the world? He was sent packing from his junior team at age 11. Now these are gifted athletes, but maybe, just maybe their potential hadn't been realized just yet.
What makes it so tough, is that as parents, we feel that we might actually have a role in determining their success or at least helping it along. That's why we do extra practices, sports camps in the summer to maximize "downtime," and hire private trainers. We debate which team is the right fit for each kid, which coach is going to nurture the potential … or not. We keep hoping, wondering and working – doing everything in our power to give them the best chance at it. Because after all, it's not a sure thing. Right now, it's just potential.

Teething and molars
Some babies can get teeth and you don't even know until they are there. Others are miserable for weeks, poor things. If you suspect teething there are things you can try. Teething rings are great, it allows them to work the gums and it provides relief as well. Baby Oragel and baby Tylenol can also help a great deal, just be sure to use as directed.

Alright. I really wanna know what suits me better. Longer facial hair like small beard and all or a trimmed/shaved face. I'll show you my pictures so please be honest and let me know what you think.
These 2 pics above were taken a few weeks back when I was trimmed
These 3 pics above were taken this week and that's how I look at the moment. So what do you all think? Especially girls. Should I have a trimmed/shaved look or have facial hair like I do right now. By the way, in the last pic where I'm smiling, I posted that online and one of my friends said "explain the gayness?" so I deleted that selfie. What do you think? Was that a bad selfie because I'm not good at smiling in pics so I thought I'd give myself a shot.

Our Impact
In the US alone, around 1000 children are born each year that could benefit from Ambionics' unique technology – that number doesn't include the number of children who receive amputations from traumatic injuries and diseases like meningitis and cancer.
Ambionics is here to disrupt the prosthetics market and bring affordable prosthetic solutions to those who need them at the earliest opportunity.
Currently in the UK children have to wait 8 – 11 weeks for passive (non functional) arms. We can offer functioning arms produced from a scan in only 5 days (a 90% reduction) Ambionics arms look amazing too and there will be a choice of hand styles and colours available.
Also if an arm is lost or damaged, we can simply print another from the digital copy we keep – there is no need to re-cast and wait unnecessarily, preventing developmental opportunities and exposing the child to risk of injury.
Finally, and most importantly, by providing solutions earlier we can begin encouraging brain development more effectively so that children can master their use before a critical period of brain development comes to an end.
Better, faster and cheaper. We want to offer the kind of service that every child deserves.
I'm Ben Ryan. I invented unique prosthetic technology geared towards helping very young amputees like my son – Sol. The technology uses fluid to operate a grabbing mechanism (hydraulic) and was inspired by how spiders move their legs using fluid pressure. Sacks of fluid in the socket of a prosthetic arm are squashed to control a basic grabbing mechanism.
Think of it as a training device.
No batteries are required – it's powered by the wearer's own muscles.
There are no small parts or screws that could come lose
It's lightweight with a high centre of gravity
It's affordable thanks to advances in 3D printing
I was a psychology teacher and my background led me to carry out research into the available options for my son following his amputation in March 2015 – I noticed a gap between when a prosthetic would be most useful to him and what was being offered by our health care provider. I discovered a fairly clear pattern where children not fitted with a functional hand until after 2 years of age tended to reject prosthetics. I didn't want that to happen to Sol so I designed something that could be worn much earlier and which countered many of the weaknesses of electric arms, body powered hooks and passive or cosmetic arms which were thought to lead to their rejection. My aim through Ambionics is to help children everywhere adopt and continue to use prosthetics through into adulthood.
You can donate to our fundraising effort above. Thanks for taking the time to visit our site

CREE adds EDGE automotive lighting and SIC epitaxial wafer designs
Cree has been especially busy, unveiling three new products in the past few days. The company announced THE EDGE high output LED series, introduced 150-mm 4HN silicon carbine epitaxial wafers, and expanded its product offering with very low basal plane dislocation 4H silicon carbide epitaxial wafers.
Providing the utmost in safety for such applications as auto dealerships. The EDGE high output area and flood light LED luminaires use 50 percent less energy in most applications compared with the high output sources previously used such as 1000 watt metal halide solutions. Looking at new (or used) cars at night used to be problematic at best. THE EDGE provides much better color quality to showcase inventory after dark.
The solution is based on NanoOptic technology that delivers light where it's needed. Its thermal management qualities enhance reliability and provide more than a decade of near maintenance-free service. THE EDGE reduces energy and maintenance while improving performance and illumination. Contact company for pricing and delivery.
150-mm 4HN Silicon Carbide epitaxial wafers
High quality, low micropipe 150-mm 4H n-type SIC epitaxial wafers feature uniform layers as thick as 100 microns. The 150-mm diameter single crystal SIC substrates enable cost reductions and increased throughput. Available in limited quantities. Contact Cree for pricing and availability.
Low basal plane dislocation 4H SIC epitaxial wafers
The latest SIC offering featuring low basal plane dislocation (LBPD) 100-mm 4H SIC epitaxial wafers are available for purchase. The LBPD material exhibits a total BPD density of < 1 cm-2 in the epitaxial drift layer, with BPDs capable of causing Vf drift as low as < 0.1 cm-2.
The BPD material enables very high voltage bipolar devices such as IGBTs and GTOs with improved stability over time. Available. Contact company for pricing.

Girls, why can't you all just look hot for me?
Why can't all you girls look hot?
Have an opinion?
What Girls Said 13
Hello lovely ickle troll... may I keep you?
For question sake though, I will indulge you.
1) The world does not revolve around one lone man and I don't just mean you, I mean any man for that matter; or even any one (in general) because a woman would also be capable of asking this question either regarding the same sex or the opposite sex or even both... same goes for men with this point. Regarding what one finds 'hot' varies in each individual and therefore not everyone can appeal to everyone else. sure there is an 'average' look that a good portion of people would generally go for which is then over stretched by the media in order to brain wash people into buying products etc. This also effect what people think they should be attracted to because if they don't like this general type then they are 'odd' etc. feeding the generalization more.
2) If everyone was your type of 'hot' then most people would look the same/similar and act the same/similar which would sap away any form of awesomeness life has to offer atm. This also goes hand in hand with the mechanics of genes and how they work to create a whole load of different and relatively unique people. considering you are but one lone human who wishes this does not mean that the whole mechanics of genetics will change so that everyone around you is 'hot'.
3) If you really did want all girls to be 'hot' to you then go get hypnotised or something so that your brain will think that way, even if the masses to choose to think an individual is ugly, you will not.
Have a nice day ickle trollie! ^_^43|10|2
Nice one. :)

I didn't bother reading the whole thing. Short attention span.
Yeah that person must have been lol. I have a short attention span too, it took me ages to write the answer lol.
What do you mean? I don't think that's fair. Lols. A lot of girls try really hard to look their best.33|00|0
Lols! Seriously? Maxim? You do realize the girls in there are all airbrushed and then they have their pictures photoshopped, right? :P No woman in real life looks like that, I am sorry to say. Anyways, good luck.
Thanks for the support!
No problem. ^-^ But seriously, don't be so hard on us girls, alright? We try very hard. Besides, you just might land up alone for the rest of your life if you keep it up. I'm not trying to lecture you or anything, I'm just saying. I wish you happiness. :)
stop writing these freakin questions just so you can get answers k? I know SOMEWHERE, although it may be very hard to find, you have a heart. So listen to the rule that if you don't got anything nice to say, don't say ANYTHING AT ALL!21|10|0
You listen to the rule. If you can't look hot for me, don't bother going out at all.
I will look the way I want to and you will deal with it
Good luck with that.
Ah here now... That's a bit harsh...00|00|0
You have some serious issues with misogyny. You really should sort that out before you even consider leaving your house. You,my dear,are only just contributing to the hatred women feel towards incredibly ignorant men. P.S how ugly are you?
At least its focused. Where else can you have brief interviews with hideous men?
Ah hideous men.... Nice to know you consider yourself one.
wow you're a douche bag. I can tell you're end up alone with that attitude who wants you seriously ha ha I can't believe you're a groan a** man.32|10|0

Thanks for the submissive gesture. All girls do.
Well I wish I could be good looking but I god made me ugly.00|00|0
God is probably pretty ugly. So we are look better to him. Don't tell him I wrote this or the little red man from under the ground will burn my butt until its crispy brown.
maybe its not us...no matter what there is always someone out there who thinks were are hot even tho you might not, it just means that you may be shallow.33|00|1
What Guys Said 4
I like how people are typing FULL PARAGRAPHS into an obvious troll thread.
Wait! Is that directed at my answer? If you notice, I actually commented on the fact that this is a troll question, but never the less I like to be detailed in most of my answers because I know for a fact that there are people out there that may actually take the troll seriously / actually agree with him.
Yeah, don't you go giving me attention like that. This free publicity bullsh*t is p*ssing me off because now I have to read all the crap you guys write.
I found your answer amusing, Sorrow.
It was kinda like "wow, this guy's a total troll. Here, have some troll food."
But I like that a full blown discussion became of it. Legitimate discussion in a troll thread is a rarity.
Put it this way, having a hot girlfriend and being the envy of all your guy friends is fun, but does it really have the potential to last? Is she, as a whole, really what you're looking for and are you what she is looking for?
Meanwhile, the guy down the street is dating a girl who isn't the hottest thing under the sun, but they probably are happier, more of what each is looking for, have better sex and she probably makes more money because she's more focused on achieving her goals than getting her makeup just right.00|00|0
Being a hot girl doesn't always necessarily mean you focus on getting your make up right. And hot girls can be just as nice as girls who guys don't consider as hot. I think guys should,on the whole,just gives girls a break. And whoever asked this question is an utter idiot.

The bitter, deformed brother of the King is secretly plotting to seize the throne of England. Charming and duplicitous, powerfully eloquent and viciously cruel, he is prepared to go to any lengths to achieve his goal and, in his skilful manipulation of events and people, Richard is a chilling incarnation of the lure of evil and the temptation of power.
About the Author
William Shakespeare (1564-1616) was born in Stratford-upon-Avon where his father was a prosperous glover. His early life is obscure, but he married Anne Hathaway in 1682 with whom he had two children. By 1592 he was establishing himself in London, and over the next twenty years he wrote thirty-seven plays-and contributed to many more-was a prolific poet, and was taken up by several influential patrons. His Sonnets were first printed in 1609 by George Eld for Thomas Thorpe. The identity of Mr. W.H. to whom the Sonnets are dedicated remains a mystery, as does the identity of the aristocratic youth in the Sonnets and the enigmatic Dark Lady.

Photographers recently captured the first photos of a 2019 GMC Sierra prototype testing at GMs Proving Ground. According to the photographer who captured the images, the camouflage on this truck looks similar to what was on Silverado prototypes caught in February. GM has tried to get clever and disguise its next-gen full-size trucks to look like camouflaged Ford F-150s, but this is in fact a GM and no Ford.
These new images nicely show the GMC grille design and leave little doubt about its identity. We can also see that this truck has a different LED signature in its headlights compared to the earlier shots of the 2019 Silverado.
Sources at AutoPacific tell us that this new Silverado is looking to implement an aluminum-intensive body to match the Ford F-series trucks. The next-gen truck, which is reportedly being developed with the internal code name T1XC, will reach the market by late 2018 as a 2019 model. Our sources tell us that GM has made great efforts to refine its production processes with these lightweight materials, and promises a lighter, stronger, and more efficient truck than its competitors.
It will be interesting to see how the next Silverado ultimately stacks up against the F-150, and how GM will spin their current criticism of aluminum intensive trucks when they have one of their own.

Beaumont/Port Arthur
You may want to try container gardening, or maybe just expand your ideas of what can be grown in containers. It is a genius way to grow plants if you don't have much space or are new to gardening. Some expert gardeners just want the ease of container gardening and the beauty it adds to existing garden areas.
I'm amazed at the variety of colors available in caladiums these days. There are outrageous combinations of red, pink, super hot pink, white, chartreuse and shades of green. This plant is a classic. Its leaves have a translucent quality that seems to make them all glow brilliantly in the sunshine.
Do you have a special tomato or pepper plant that you think is a real winner? Maybe your granny passed down a special recipe for canned preserves or processed herbs that you think are way out of the ordinary. Canned pickles, tomatoes, peppers and their fresh counterparts are welcome at the 43rd annual Jefferson County Fruit and Vegetable Show this Saturday, June 13.
Weren't we just in a drought? You would never know it now with creeks overflowing, mold growing and plants hoping for a little sunshine. You may have some plants outdoors or inside that are struggling. Are they struggling because they need a little more water or a whole lot less?
For years, the Jefferson County Master Gardener Association has been making Beaumont and surrounding areas more beautiful. They recently gathered a considerable workforce of volunteers and beautified the Veterans Memorial Park in Port Arthur.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

BELLEVUE, WA – Former West Ham United soccer player, Adam Nowland, is making good on his promise to give back.
Professional players who play at the highest levels in England are told they have a responsibility to give back to the game that was so generous to them. Nowland, who is the founder and coaching director for NPSA Premier Soccer Club in Bellevue and a PSPL Surf Academy coach, took this to heart.
Nowland, 35, launched The NPSA Foundation last summer with a simple mission: Offer the underserved youth in the region access to quality soccer training and competitive games for free. In today's American youth system of pay-to-play for competitive youth sports, this effort could be viewed as nearly revolutionary, or at the very least, a questionable financial move.
"We want to enable Soccer For All," Nowland said. "Every child should have the opportunity to good coaching and a quality soccer experience."
Nowland believes that all young people should have equal access to competitive soccer just like his peers and teammates in Europe. Through his foundation, Nowland remains passionate about how to help the game move forward in this country. His contribution: Offering a quality recreational based program run by professional coaches that will help any player, male or female, develop the soccer skills so they can enjoy the beautiful game or reach their potential and play for a competitive youth club.
He said he has roughly 500 players now signed up with his foundation, who are meeting once a week for academy-style training and will then form teams to play in the fall recreational league.
Unlike Europe and Latin America, soccer has become an expensive sport in the United States. It requires families to pay in order to play for an established club. While paying for coaching services is a reality in today's market, this pay-to-play model has greatly limited the number of children who can participate in the game. The NPSA Foundation offers youth soccer programs to everyone and specifically those families who have been held back by the rising costs of youth sports.
Nowland is a former professional soccer player in England, who moved to the U.S. shortly after retiring in 2010. He played for EPL teams, including West Ham United and Nottingham Forest, as part of a 12-year career that included more than 200 appearances and 20 goals in the top leagues in England.
"Creating this Foundation has always been a dream of mine since I started coaching," said Nowland. "Soccer is the biggest sport in the world and the fastest growing sport in the United States. My goal is to provide all youth with equal opportunity to an academy-style training program that will help develop them not only as players but as people.
"The NPSA Foundation has so far provided a free, professionally coached training program to over 500 players since our inception in fall 2015," Nowland continued. "We have also provided full scholarships to 20+ players that now compete at the premier youth soccer level. However, we believe there is so much more we can do to make youth soccer accessible to all.
The NPSA Foundation is a recreational soccer program available to all interested players in the Bellevue, Mercer Island and Renton areas. The rec program is funded completely by donations, personal and corporate. The NPSA Foundation teams will play in the Puget Sound Premier League's East Puget Sound Rec League for Fall Season 2016.

It's been WAY too long without some How I Met Your Mother scoop. Please help, Sandra! I've had a bad week on the east coast. — Ann
I will say this as an east coast HIMYM fan, at least we didn't miss out on any new episodes last week. Whew! But here's something for you to chew on: Something's going to happen in December that will have many of us reacting like this. That's a Borrower-sized hint, I know. But there's more soon; I promise.

Outdoor Activity Park in Pretoria
Get your adrenaline pumping with our Tree-Top Adventures & Zip lines in Pretoria. Perfect venue for birthdays, Bachelor/ettes and Team Building Events.
Best outdoor activities in Pretoria
Within a farm side village in the Northern side of Pretoria, lies Acrobranch Pretoria North. Slide, balance, jump, crawl, dash, swing or stroll – expect the unexpected from this wild experience that brings you a variety of twists, turns, dips and thrills.
Many of the obstacles are high up in the trees, thus requiring good balance and a strong mind (and stomach) for those who are afraid of heights. Calm the nerves with the distant sound of live country music filling the air from the Musaiek Restaurant down below while manoeuvring through the trees or waiting for the others to cross the obstacles.
Whether you are an individual or a group looking for the ultimate birthday, bachelor/ette, school outing or team building activity, Acrobranch in Pretoria North park will provide you with the best aerial adventure experience.
Acrobranch Adventure Courses in Pretoria
The park is equipped with a variety of adrenaline packed obstacles, including a 300m long zip line on our High Flying course. Our Tree-Top Adventure courses are designed in such a way that the less adventurous can take an alternative route.
Acrobranching is a lot of fun, for all ages! The Pretoria North park offers obstacle courses for adults and teenagers, kids who are 7 years and older, and now 3 to 6 years old.
From ziplining and walking across narrow and wobbly bridges, to trying not to look down when you're so high up, the different obstacle courses are a fantastic experience and definitely worth a try. It's the perfect outdoor activity for school outings, birthday parties, bachelor/ettes, and/or team building events.
As quality and customer safety at all times is a priority at Acrobranch, harnesses and the latest equipment have been imported from overseas. In fact, Acrobranch Pretoria boasts the first continuous safety line in the business, which means that one cannot, under any circumstance, detach from the line, thus avoiding injury.

There are many options available to the kids who can't join in on the treetop adventures including pony rides, target shooting, playing on the jungle gym and more.

text: The camera has allowed me to witness and learn a lot more about the world we live in than I could ever have imagined. Photography came late into my life after I had already spent a decade constrained inside the cubicles and conference rooms of corporations, until I could no longer bear to contain my creative impulses. A one-year sabbatical of travels around the world would ultimately provide the impetus to launch my second career as a photographer and visual storyteller. Naturally, my work is strongly influenced by the pursuit of capturing and interpreting a sense of place, whether I am photographing images of the built environment or creating a multimedia documentary story for an editorial outlet. My work has appeared in media outlets such as The New York Times, TIME and BBC and used by commercial clients such as American Express, Hyatt, HSBC and others. Some of my photographs have also been exhibited by institutions such as the Museum of the City of New York, Association of Photographers (London) and included in private and corporate collections. In 2010, one of my overseas assignments resulted in the founding of Cartwheel Initiative, a nonprofit organization that uses photography and creative media to help internationally and internally displaced youth have a voice in their new communities and build bridges across ethnic and social divisions.

Rolling Stones - Bravo
Super geile und rare Scheibe.
Wieder mal der Hammer doc!
- 13. März 2011 um 22:03
- Dr. Fu Man Chu hat gesagt…
Link erneuert.
- 2. Mai 2012 um 23:22
- Doccus Rockus Maximus hat gesagt…
Vielen Dank! und DANKE SCHÖN!..
I really wasn't sure which is the greater form of "thank you" in German !
Naturally after all this time the link is gone, but
as any good Rolling Stones afficionado should have, I already have all the music that is on these CD, but I do not the artwork. These artworks are very much appreciated. The Hor:Zu was famous for having the true stereo Magical Mystery tour tracks from 1971 onwards, and yet people in the west didn't seem to know about it. At all! Even after the internet.
They also had unusual mixes of the Stones . Does anyone know if it is true they had the stereo "satisfaction" for years earlier?
So, thank you again for all the German issues artworkon these pages. On my cassette artworks blog I do have many German cassettes, but I have not many German CDs artwork in my collection.
This helps!

The Washington Post
Patrick Rucker
July 10, 2015
A composer's posthumous reputation is nothing if not uncertain. Take Stephen Foster, who died destitute in a Bowery hotel in 1864 but whose songs, now familiar to everyone, encapsulate an era. Or Foster's contemporary, Louis Moreau Gottschalk, whose success both in Europe and throughout the Americas was like no one else's before him but whose music, when heard today, sounds maudlin to our ears.
Thursday night the PostClassical Ensemble collaborated with The Phillips Collection to offer a glimpse of the posthumous reputation of the "Dean of American Composers," Aaron Copland, who died 25 years ago. Titled "Copland and the City," the program amounted almost to a career retrospective, albeit a succinct one focused on the first 40 years of Copland's life.
With New York his lifelong center of operations, Copland is as entitled as anyone to be considered an urban composer. Paintings on urban themes from the collection, by Hopper, Hirsch, Marin, Davis and others, were specially hung on the walls of the Phillips music room.
Lura Johnson opened the program with a powerful performance of "Piano Variations" from 1930, Copland's seminal work for the instrument. Her performance emphasized the audacity of Copland's ultra-modernist style before he evolved a more populist voice.
Next, PostClassical's artistic director, Angel Gil-Ordóñez, conducted an 11-piece chamber ensemble in "Quiet City," a 1940 score that originated as music to a now forgotten play by Irwin Shaw. Atmospheric solos for English horn and trumpet, beautifully played by Fatma Daglar and Tim White, rose to the level of expressive dialogue.
Then Lewis Mumford's documentary "The City," created for the 1939 World's Fair, with a score by Copland, was shown. In 1990 the film was re-released by Naxos, with a newly recorded soundtrack by Gil-Ordóñez and the PostClassical Ensemble.
The film depicts a bucolic America lost to urban blight and industrialization while advocating smaller, planned communities as more suitable for healthy families. Copland's score sounded as fresh as the day it was written.
Afterward, PostClassical's executive director, Joseph Horowitz, who provided thoughtful commentary throughout the evening, was joined by Johnson, Gil-Ordóñez, architect Thomas Krähenbühl and Washington Post arts critic Philip Kennicott in a discussion.
The evening proved a rare instance of unqualifiedly successful cross-disciplinary programming, with music, film, painting and architecture playing mutually supportive roles. It almost seemed as if Copland's benevolent spirit was present, presiding over everything.
With scores like "Appalachian Spring," "Rodeo," "Lincoln Portrait, and "Fanfare for the Common Man" now subsumed into the bedrock of the American consciousness, Copland's iconic status as musical elder statesman is secure. As Thursday night amply demonstrated, each new exposure to Copland's music is a reminder of how direct, apt and powerful it remains.

Perhaps you glanced over the 2009 All-Star rosters and wondered to yourself "Who IS that guy?". Ben WHO?
Maybe you saw the name Ben Zobrist and thought to yourself "Damn that wiley Joe Maddon really leapt over the bounds of good taste and picked his own players when a real star was more deserving...
Maybe you made yourself a big mistake.
Ben Zobrist IS an all-star. Not just in the game of baseball, but also in the game of life.
I have met far more than my fair share of major league baseball players as well as professional athletes in general or professionals - for that matter - in my life. Few have possessed an aura of distinct character, few have demonstrated an air of class and few have carried themselves in a manner that can make you not only question your current state but makes you reconsider your own path in life.
I met Ben Zobrist over 2 years ago for the first time and to this day I can still feel an effect of interacting with him. He was cordial, interactive and ***get this*** genuinely NICE! For no reason whatsoever. He held a conversation with me like very few people I have ever met. He listened, he absorbed, he was patient to understand and far more patient in his response. He didn't know me from any other whack job that might wander into a MLB lockerroom but he treated me with dignity, without expectations, with respect.
Ben Zobrist is a professional athlete who is not a show. He is not a fake. He is the original article. A person of reverence; a guy whom you can easily sum up in one word: Inspirational.
When "Zoey" was making his way through the Rays' minor league system after the "big" Aubrey Huff trade, his outstanding character was leaned on by the new ownership to benefit the organization. Coming out of Dallas Baptist University as a religious, socially sound and truly respectful young man his job was to support, empathize and simply affect his fellow teammates with his "way". He was drafted by an organization that was still reeling from the aftermath of former #1 overall draft pick Josh Hamilton's seemingly wasted career due to drug abuse and uber-prospect Toe Nash's sad tale. Then there was another #1 draft pick who had his "issues" in Delmon Young and the highly talented athlete with a questionable upbringing, Elijah Dukes. The Rays understood that teaming a talented and character-driven person such as Zobrist with these young, impressionable athletes was in their best interest.
Within the first two steps I took into my first visit in a Major League lockerroom in April 2007 I was introduced first to a naked Elijah Dukes (a phenomenal sight by any persuasion as the dude is a remarkable physical specimen in all respects) and his neighboring locker mate, Ben Zobrist. On the other side of Zobrist was Carl Crawford. My first impression once I got past the "WOW, Dukes is a beast" and "Holy crap, I understood most of what Dukes was saying through his thick Hillsborough accent" and "Holy crap, Carl might be the only person I've ever met that talks more than I do" was "Ben Zobrist must not realize that I'm not some super-important dignitary or broad-audience mouthpiece". I talked with both of them for some time about general nothingness. About how much nicer the Trop was than people alluded. About how sweet the lockerroom was. About how many deep and thoughtful quotations manager Joe Maddon had placed around the room.
Ben and Elijah didn't stop doing what they were doing as they talked to me - they were dressing as they prepared for batting practice - but they also didn't assume the role of two players who acted like they had a combined 3 months of MLB experience under their belt, either. Granted, I wasn't "interviewing them" but I also tossed them no softball questions. I was just "shooting the shit" with two dudes who were doing what I wish I could have done. After Dukes was dressed, he went to the cages to take BP and Ben continued to talk with me.
I started to get the feeling he was more interested in me than I was him. He asked me about my flight, where I was from, how my experience in Tampa was going. Remembering that this dude had no idea who I was other than the fact that Operation VP/public relations guru Rick Vaughn led me into the room. At the time I was still preparing myself for four days of grilling the Rays' "stars" for all they were worth. I wasn't truly paying attention to the Ben Zobrist's of the day, the "guys who are splitting time in Durham this year" types. But after a little while, I felt myself straightening up, I felt myself feeling like an ass for thinking I was cool telling him my witty story of getting drunk on the plane "because I'm too impatient to fly sober and getting drunk makes the time "fly by"...". I felt myself taken in by his character. He gave a crap about ME!
So... is having versatile enough skills to play multiple positions or helping teammates get through the pressures of life or being nice to random guys carrying a pen in your lockerroom enough to be a Major League All-Star? Hell, no. Grasp the whole story. Check the facts.
Ben Zobrist, the player
The 6'3", 200lb switch-hitting "Zorilla" came up through the Rays' system as a shortstop with the hopes he would fill the Utility role behind future super-stud prospect B.J. Upton at shortstop. B.J. at short didn't pan out as planned and despite leading the 2006 Arizona Fall League in hits, neither did Zobrist as a shortstop. By 2008 Jason Bartlett locked down the SS role and Zobrist had to do whatever Joe Maddon asked him to do in order to see playing time. In 2008, Zobrist donned the gloves of every position except Catcher, First Base and Pitcher. His willingness to do whatever was asked of him for the greater good was infectious. He became a lockerroom leader with his magnetic high character, his penchant for timely game winning hits and was a big part of the reason that led to the team's cohesiveness during their World Series run. His statistics told very little of the story compared to his actual impact on the team.
Zoey has done it all this season. He's done whatever and played wherever. Though he was named to the All-Star team as an outfielder, with the competing Rays losing their slick-fielding Second Baseman Akinori Iwamura to a knee injury, Ben has finally "found" a home. Despite the Rays' slow start, Zobrist helped carry the team through some times of difficulty. His character helped the team withstand the storm. No matter where he has played this season, he's raked. He's currently second in the AL in Slugging, 3rd in OBP and 5th in ALL of MLB in OPS. Making the All-Star roster is not a mistake.
Ben Zobrist, All-Star
Seventeen bombs, 52 ribeyes, a .297 clip, 1.012 OPS (159 OPS+)... he's deserving. Who knows where he'll see playing time in the game? With Dustin Pedroia out for the game, likely he'll be subbing at second. But given his 2009 season, don't be shocked to see him perform his best with the game's outcome unclear. His ability to be in the right place at the right time is uncanny as demonstrated by his three Grand Slams already this season.
Joe Maddon summed up/defended his selection with this statement to the St. Petersburg Times: "There's a form of nepotism involved, and you don't want to be the anti-nepotist, if that's a word. I don't want to exclude anybody just because they're with us, and because of that, I'm trying to be fair to everybody else and not fair to our own people." It wasn't just a message to players that "If you do the right thing, you get rewarded" or you "Carry yourself the right way, it will pay off" it was a message that respecting the game, respecting people, respecting yourself will always get you the respect you'll deserve - especially when you have the stats and game winning hits to back it up.
Ben Zobrist deserved to be on the All-Star squad and don't be surprised if - based on the way his 2009 season is going, maybe - he gets to display his talents when it matters the most. His fine character deserves nothing less.


text: She is a bio-weapon like Jo but with even stronger and more violent tendencies. While Jo is more efficient with guns, Maria relies more on bladed weapons such as swords and cutting wire. In the past, both she and Jo were the remaining fighters in a combat exercise to determine the Syndicate's "Genocide Angel." Maria won by default, but as Jo was only rendered unconscious, Maria never felt like she truly defeated Jo. When Jo is captured by RAPT, Maria disobeys orders and kidnaps Meg to lure Jo into one final battle. She lures Jo onto an aircraft carrier similar to the one where Genocide Angel exercise was held. After a hand-to-hand battle, Jo won and Maria lost her will to fight. She asks Jo what she can do after she gains her humanity; Jo only tells her to live on. She then reunites Jo with Meg only to be surrounded by new RAPT Cybots. She tells Meg to escape with Jo while she fights off the new mechs and appears to have been shot dead.

Fujitsu has just announced a pair of new workstation laptops that are designed to run data intensive applications such as those needed for computer-aided design. Fujitsu claim that only these notebooks offer comparable computing power to a desktop workstation. The notebooks are called the Celsius H910 and Celsius H710 notebooks.
Hewlett-Packard revealed a new line of EliteBook laptops today, using the same Forge design framework that was used for its business notebooks back in February. The new designs were built to look simpler, more durable, reliable, and are built in a greener way. The EliteBooks shine a gunmetal brushed finish, have a backlit HP logo, and "orange-colored accents." The EliteBook 8440w, 8540w, and 8740w, will be replaced with the EliteBook 8460w, 8560w, and 8760w, which range from 14 inches to 17.3 inches in size. We agree that the model numbers are a bit bulky too.
