Zuiderdam internet service
I have heard that this ship now offers wireless access for those who bring their lap tops, but I have not heard what if any is the charge for the access code to log on with? Does any one know what the HAL policy is for wireless access?
I believe it's the same as their regular internet service - it isn't free. :)
I think it's $3.95 to sign on and then so much a minute thereafter - they also have internet packages.
Thanks, at least it's not in Euros my last cruise the Internet was so slow it was about 5 euros before you were even connected. I was thinking it was like a daily charge or something, how can they tell how long you are connected when it's your own computer and there isn't that little clock monitoring your time?
Because you have to log in and out each time you use it. It's no different than using one of their computers.
Now, if you are just using Word and not logging in, then there's no charge. A lot of people will write their report or e-mail or whatever in Word and then log in and send it through their e-mail.
Let me tell you, the internet is often very slow depending where the ship is, so don't expect it to be as fast as you have at home if you are on high speed. It's more like, low, low speed. LOL
Everything you pay for on the ship is in US$'s. The charge for using the internet will go on your bill.
There are hot spots on the ship, one of course being where the Terminals are, and there is one on the Lido pool area and other spots. I think (not for sure) you open you browser and connect to a particular IP address they give you that takes you into the same server the terminals are using. The charge is the same as it is using their terminals, but you have the freedom of movement. And yeah, it will, in many cases, remind you of the good old dialup days.
Packages are available:
100 minutes for $55 plus one time start up charge of $3.95
250 minutes for $100 plus same start up charge.
If you sign up the first day of the cruise, you will get some bonus minutes.......maybe ten, I don't remember.
Thanks for the info, I guess it's a good thing I will not be checking in with work all that much. Just alittle freaked out that it's such a busy time and I will be gone for 21 days.....
Look for Internet Cafes in Ports. Ask the stewards. They usually know where there are cafes near where the ship docks that have inexpensive rates.

Audit Commission assessment for Waverley
The Audit Commission has recently published its annual assessment for Waverley.
The main messages for the Council included in this report are as follows.
* The Council's performance in overall terms has improved in line with most district councils over the past 12 months.
* While significant savings were secured over the past 12 months, the financial outlook for the Council is extremely challenging. Members will need to keep Waverley's financial strategies under review, particularly where reliance is being placed on the use of reserves to finance expenditure plans and maintain a low level of council tax increase.
* The Council has been operating with transitional management structures since April 2006 and has decided that a new Managing Director should be appointed in April 2007. While there is no evidence of any adverse impact on the Council's performance in the short term, the Council will need to ensure that organisational structures are fit for purpose and provide effective community leadership.
* The Council is involved in some major regeneration projects and improvement programmes that require significant senior management expertise to deliver. The financial and managerial capacity of the Council to deliver such projects will need to be kept under close scrutiny.
* The Council will not achieve the targets set for meeting the government's Decent Homes Standard (DHS) by 2010. Officers estimate there is a shortfall in resources available to the Council of £17 million which means that only 58 per cent of stock will have achieved the standard over the next three years. Efforts are being made to find solutions and investment is being prioritised to improve those properties most at risk of further deterioration. Tenants are being kept informed of progress. However, the Council has only limited financial capacity available to improve the standard of its stock.
* Progress in achieving the Council's ambitions for ensuring a high quality of life and socially inclusive communities is mixed. While electronic access to services and disabled access to buildings has improved over the past 12 months, progress is slow in some important areas in that:
- the Council does not yet have an agreed social inclusion strategy (although a strategy is in draft) and no progress has been made in developing an implementation framework for the strategy when it is agreed;
- the Council has assessed itself as achieving Level One of the Equality Standard for Local Government, which is behind Waverley's target and most local authorities for 2005/06; and
- in 2005/06, performance in processing new benefits claims was firmly in the worst quartile of local authorities, which means that the needs of some of the most deprived people in the area were not being met. Recent management reports (in December 2006) highlight that the situation is improving.
* Performance in achieving community safety targets is good and is in the best quartile for Audit Commission Best Value performance indicators.
* Waverley did not meet the government's targets for recycling of household waste (24 per cent was recycled compared to a target of 30 per cent). The Council introduced alternate weekly collection of household waste and recyclables. At the end of January 2007, the Council estimates that recycling levels of up to 40 per cent are being achieved and that improved performance should be reported for the 2006/07 year.
* From a low base, performance in processing planning applications is getting better but remains below the average level for district councils.
* The Council's arrangements for ensuring the quality of data need to be improved, particularly in identifying and providing the training needed for staff involved in data processing.
* The Council is demonstrating better performance in its use of resources. Action was taken in 2006 to enhance arrangements for financial management, internal control and for securing improved value for money. Notably, an Audit Committee was established in September 2006. While it is too early for sustained improvement in performance to be evident in all areas, the Council is well placed to deliver even better performance over the next 12 months.
* The Council continues to prepare accounts which meet the earlier timetable for financial reporting required by the Accounts and Audit Regulations 2003 and in overall terms, performance has improved compared to previous years. We gave an unqualified opinion on the Council's financial statements for 2005/06.
* The Council demonstrates notable practice in the way it promotes external accountability, producing an annual report that summarises the business of the Council in an accessible way.Click here to see the latest information published about Waverley by the Audit Commission

Surrey Advertiser coverage of the Tuesley Farm polytunnels
Surrey Advertiser, 7th December, 2007
The National Farmers' Union expressed relief following last week's decision by Waverley planners to approve the continued use of polytunnels at Tuesley Farm in Milford.
In what was widely regarded as a landmark case, the farm owner, UK soft fruit grower Hall Hunter, was given to the end of this year to remove all the polytunnels on which its business depends. They had been judged as unacceptable within the green belt by the High Court in 2006.
Soft fruit tunnels allowed
Surrey Advertiser, 30th November, 2007
The battle of the polytunnels was concluded on Wednesday night with an overwhelming majority of Waverley planners permitting continued, but reduced coverage, at Tuesley Farm in Milford.
Waverley made planning history in 2005 when it became the first local authority to determine polytunnels constituted development and required planning permission.
Protesters angry over polytunnel U-turn
Surrey Advertiser, 16th November, 2007
Council planners stand accused of executing a major U-turn on green belt policy by recommending approval for polytunnels at Tuesley farm.
It was revealed this week that Waverley borough officers believe the new application submitted by the Hall Hunter Partnership for their Milford based soft fruit business "strikes the right balance between the needs of modern agriculture and the needs of the area". But the support for the plan has angered campaigners who feel the council has caved in to external pressures and are not fulfilling their obligation to protect the green belt site.
Polytunnel farm accused of 'smokescreen tactics'
Surrey Advertiser, 12th October, 2007
Campaigners opposing the Hall Hunter Partnership's application for 20 hectares of polytunnels to protect its crops at Tuesley Farm, Milford, have claimed the company is employing "smokescreen" tactics.
"They want to turn a local landscape issue into a referendum on the soft fruit industry," said a spokesman for the Tuesley Farm Campaign this week. "They are seeking to force Waverley to abandon its clear and unwavering support for the green belt and the area of great landscape value.

The Hall Hunter Partnership wanted the plastic structures for its Tuesley Farm site, near Godalming. It first erected polytunnels in 2004, but a local authority enforcement notice to remove them was backed by a planning inspector and the High Court.
See the Hall Hunter website and the website for the Tuesley Farm Campaign, a group which has been opposing the application.

No return to weekly collections
>>>>> Click here to see full story
Waverley Borough Council's new Tory administration made it clear this week that it has no plans to return to weekly waste and recycling collections. "This council chose to go to alternate weekly collections and we have no plans to revert back to a weekly collection of wheelie bins," said council leader, Cllr Richard Gates.
Independent councillor Alan Lovell said people were more concerned about the frequency of collections, smells, vermin and the number of bins, and called for a delay in implementing the same day/ catch-up system until agreement was reached on a broader strategy of waste and recycling collections following public consultation.
Cllr Lovell's proposal was easily defeated, but the opposition kept up its attack, Lib Dem group leader Cllr Ken Reed pointing to Tory election material which highlighted the need for a "workable system that stops our bins smelling in summer".

"This is a big increase compared with 2005/2006 when the overall recycling rate for the year was 24.4%, with composting accounting for 1.7% of the total. We will inform you of the overall recycling rate for 2006/2007 when we have confirmed the results for the whole year.Further good news is because of all your extra recycling we are sending roughly 700 tonnes of waste less each month to landfill than a year ago and roughly 1,000 tonnes less each month than two years ago".

Public left bemused by council squabbling over kitchen waste trial claims
Haslemere Herald, February 9
Conservatives have been told to "produce evidence or shut up" over their claims that Lib Dem "incompetence" has meant the borough missing out on a weekly kitchen waste trial. Guildford, Mole Valley and Elmbridge are undertaking trials with Surrey.
Waste collection service complaints
Haslemere Herald, February 9
A working mother of two toddlers has written to the Haslemere Herald, saying that she is unable to fit all of her rubbish in her wheelie bin. After auditing the contents of her wheelie bin, and finding nothing in there that could be recycled, she was told to take her excess rubbish to the tip.
Editor's comment
Are the tips intended to be where you dispose of household waste? If they are, that means that household waste is going to landfill, and Waverley's claim to have increased recycling from to 40% from 22% is partly due to residents taking their domestic rubbish to landfill.
Lib Dems deny 'incompetence' over new waste collection trial
Haslemere Herald, February 9
A scheme that would have eliminated smelly, overfilled bins in Waverley was turned down by the borough council, according to the area's Conservative group. The scheme, proposed by Surrey County Council, would have run a trial period of collecting kitchen waste on a weekly basis. The Conservative group claims Waverley Borough Council turned down the opportunity to take part in the scheme, but environment portfolio holder Victor Scrivens denied they were ever invited to join.
Heat turned up in row over Waverley's kitchen waste
Surrey Advertiser, February 9th
The row over recyclable kitchen waste has escalated with more political muck being thrown about. After an angry outburst by Councillor Victor Scrivens at Waverley's Executive Committee meeting, his Conservative critics have stood by their claim that the borough failed to take the opportunity to join in with a county council funded kitchen waste trial/ Councillor Scrivens maintains that the Liberal Democrat-led Waverley administration knew nothing about the opportunity.
Bravo Victor, don't forget the rubbish
Surrey Advertiser, February 9th
Editorial: Something is rotten in the state of Waverley - and it's not just the household rubbish that has to fester for the best part of two weeks before it is collected. It is also the rubbish spoken in the council chamber. Unhappy councillor Victor Scrivens is obviously feeling the heat over his authority's green credentials which have taken a beating over recent weeks.

Warbler has a big say on incinerator
Surrey Advertiser, February 2
Surrey County Council has pulled the plug on Wisley as a possible site for a mass rubbish burner after receiving advice on the effect it could have on the Dartford Warbler, an endangered species. SCC Executive member for the environment, Councillor David Munro, has pre-empted any claims from anti incinerator campaigners that the warbler blocking three sites is proof that the burners are a health risk.

Downing Street petition for the Royal Surrey
The petition reads:
We, supporters of the Campaign to Save the Royal Surrey County Hospital, call on the Prime Minister to halt the possible closure of and cuts to services at the Royal Surrey County Hospital in Guildford. The hospital has provided high quality health care to generations of residents from Surrey and the surrounding area, and we believe that the hospital should have an integral role to play in providing excellent treatment for local residents of all ages for years to come. NHS care in our community would be severely damaged by any decision to close or substantially reduce the services available at the hospital. We urge the Government and the Prime Minister not to take this retrograde step and to safeguard the future of the Royal Surrey County Hospital.
Drugs den closed down by police
Haslemere Herald, January 26th
A drugs den in Witley has been closed down by Surrey Police in a raid that saw hundreds of cannabis plants seized.
Scathing criticism for fortnightly bin collection
Haslemere Herald, January 26th
A Haslemere resident has complained that whilst he recycles everything he can, bins are overflowing with filth and disease, and rubbish is littering the once tidy neighbourhood. Whilst many of the town's residents are up in arms over the scheme, the council has won praise for its recycling efforts from Ben Bradshaw, minister for the local environment! Waverley claim that in December they sent the lowest amount to landfill in Waverley's history - below 2,000 tonnes - whilst the recycling figures remain at around 40%.
Editor's note - if the 40% rate has remained constant, then this implies less rubbish was collected overall, which ties in with the fact that many Waverley residents did not have a collection for over three weeks in December.
Borough council's recycling figures "absolute rubbish"
Surrey Advertiser, January 19th
Waverley's waste collection service has been branded as "rubbish" despite high praise from government ministers. In December, the lowest ever amount of landfill waste in WBC's hisitory was collected - below 2,000 tons, and recycling figures remained at 40%. However questions were raised about the accuracy of these figures. Adam Taylor-Smith, councillor for Witley and Hambledon, asked whether this had anything to do with many residents not having their rubbish collected for three weeks in December, and whether it included the increased volumes going to landfill from amenity tips.
Police root out drugs factory

A major drugs racket has been uncovered by Surrey Police following a raid on a cottage in the middle of Witley. Between 300 and 350 plants were recovered from a house on Petworth Road.
Householders should pay to tackle "Europe's biggest rubbish heap" says LGA
Haslemere Herald, January 19th
Britain is Europe's biggest rubbish heap, and families should fork out for excessive refuse collection in the near future. Martin Shorten, Waverley's head of environmental services said "We have no plans to propose or implement pay-as-you-throw, but in the event that powers being made open to us, we would look at very carefully"
Traffic Problems worsen as more waste is dumped
Surrey Advertiser, January 19th
The official figures from Surrey show a dramatic increase in traffic into the Witley site. Since 2002, from May to September traffic movements have increased from around 10,000 a month to 14,000 - an increase of 40%.
Lib Dems rubbish Tory accusations over waste trial
Surrey Advertiser, date?
Council leaders at Waverley Borough Council have hit back at claims that they have missed the chance to take part in a new recycling trial. Conservative members have criticised the administration for failing to sign up to a weekly kitchen waste collection trial which would have been funded by Surrey County Council.

Paul Di Resta does not believe Formula One has seen the last of him.
Di Resta concedes to sadness he is not in Australia this week preparing for F1's season-opener around Melbourne's Albert Park.
Instead, the 27-year-old was last week at a fitness camp with the other Mercedes drivers as he readies himself for a return to DTM, the German touring car series he won in 2010 before moving up to F1.
Loading article content
After three years with Force India, and despite what proved to be his best season with the Silverstone-based team in 2013, the Scot found himself ousted as they hired Sergio Perez and Nico Hulkenberg.
There has been speculation about Di Resta becoming Mercedes' reserve driver this season, particularly given his decade-long association with the German manufacturer.
Di Resta insists there is "nothing yet" in that regard, but it will not be for the want of trying that he will attempt to get a foot back in the door of F1.
"My desire is to be involved in Formula One in some way, shape or form," said Di Resta, speaking to Press Association Sport.
"Staying as actively as you can in the sport is important, and if there is any chance to get back then hopefully that can happen.
"At the moment I'll take it year by year and I'll do what I can to get back in.
"I certainly don't feel as though the door has closed on me in any way, and I'm not too old to give up.
"I did enough to show people what I can do, and there may be chances pop up. I'll continue to be as involved as I can over the next year, couple of years."
When the DTM schedule allows, with that series not starting up until the first weekend in May, Di Resta certainly plans on visiting the F1 paddock when he can.
"I'll definitely be keeping in touch, and I've a massive interest as well," added Di Resta.
"Obviously I'm sad not to be there (in Melbourne), but I'm planning on trying to get to a few races, and when it comes back to Europe it will be far easier.
"The most important thing is I concentrate on what I'm doing at the moment and get myself up to speed first before I think of anything else."
Although his F1 ambitions have not waned, Di Resta is naturally eager to make an impression back in DTM with Mercedes, who have not won the title since his departure four years ago.
"I'm massively keen to get myself on and get racing again," said Di Resta, who will also be marrying long-term girlfriend Laura Jordan this year after proposing at Christmas.
"It will also be quite nice to get back on the podium again and win races.
"Obviously it's a different challenge. I don't see it as a backward step in any way.
"It's just different racing, and I'm with good people, a manufacturer I have spent 10 years with.
"I'm enjoying it, which is the most important thing about the job, and you have to be professional about it.
"It's also my hobby, everything I've wanted to do, so I'll keep doing that with the same desire and determination to be successful.
"Hopefully I can start off from where I finished in 2010, I'm also three years more mature, so from that point there is no negative."


text: I am planning to pickup an auger attachment for our DW SK650. The plan is to use it to assist with planting projects, and the occasional fencing job we do. I am seeking some recommendations on what size augers to get? I think I'd only like to purchase two or maybe I can get by with one? I'm looking for advice. Most our planting is containers #1, #5, #10 with occasional b&b plantings (maybe 50x a year) Then a secondary questions is it practical to use the auger bit 3 times next to each other in a triangle pattern to create a bigger hole? Is there any where else we may use the auger in landscape I'm not considering as part of auger size purchases? I might do a few deck footings from time to time but that's like a once a year job. Thanks!

Ban horse carriages on Salt Lake City streets
On August 17, 2013, at about 2:00 pm, I videotaped and photographed a horse named Jerry who had collapsed on State Street in downtown Salt Lake City while pulling a carriage. Jerry could not stand on his own, and I watched as several people tied ropes to his body and dragged him into a trailer. Please sign this petition asking the city council and mayor to adopt an ordinance prohibiting horse-drawn carriages on city streets.
Hundreds of cars zipped by, only a few feet from Jerry's body on the asphalt. When Jerry was taken to a stable in an industrial area of Salt Lake City, I kept the tape rolling and watched with sadness as Jerry's limp body was lifted with a fork lift and carried into a barn. Jerry's owners have stated that Jerry has colic. Colic can be brought on or exacerbated by dehydration, heat, and stress – three factors that are a part of daily life for horses pulling carriages. The high in Salt Lake City was 98ºF on the day that Jerry collapsed.
I documented this tragic incident in hopes that if Jerry's story was told and enough people heard it, we could make sure this doesn't happen again. Horse-drawn carriages do not belong in a densely populated and noisy environment like downtown Salt Lake City. Horses forced to pull carriages in Salt Lake City are overworked in miserable weather extremes, subjected to the dangers of congested traffic, and forced to walk on hard asphault for several hours each day.
These dangerous conditions are inherent to the use of horse-drawn carriages in an urban environment. They cannot be corrected with regulation because it's impossible to reshape the landscape of our city to suit horses. No amount of regulation can protect the public from the danger of horses bolting when they become frightened. I've known and worked with horses at a nearby animal sanctuary for several years, and I know that they thrive in a quieter, more spacious, rural environment.
I know that Salt Lake residents care a lot about animals, and I'm urging the City Council and the Mayor to take action to end the use of horse-drawn carriages on our busy city streets. I've lived in Salt Lake City for several years and am proud to call it my home. We can do better than this. Please sign my petition if you agree.
Please note: Over 23,000 people have signed this petition so far from around the world, but we are just displaying the Utah signatures to the public.

In light of a recent tragic incident involving a horse named Jerry, I am writing to urge Salt Lake City to adopt an ordinance prohibiting the operation of horse drawn carriages on city streets.
Salt Lake City has developed quickly over the past few decades and is now a thriving and densely populated urban environment. In light of this, the use of horses to pull carriages is archaic and inhumane. Recently, a horse named Jerry was pulling a carriage when he collapsed on State Street near South Temple. Jerry's owners state he was suffering from colic, a gastrointestinal condition that can be brought on or exacerbated by dehydration, heat, and stress – conditions that horses pulling carriages must frequently endure. State Street is not an appropriate environment for a horse. Horses deserve a quieter, more rural environment, where they can have freedom of movement and regular access to food, water, and shelter from the elements.
Horse-drawn carriages also pose risks for people. Horses are large prey animals who scare at the slightest provocation and bolt into traffic. Putting horses in a densely populated, noisy, and polluted environment is a recipe for accident and injury. In August 2009, a horse named Jim was pulling a family of seven when he became startled and bolted into a full run down 300 South near Main Street. The driver had exited the rig, but the terrified family continued to be pulled in tow. The horse was finally stopped after it collided with a parked car. This situation could have easily turned deadly, and we shouldn't wait for such a tragic episode to occur.
The bottom line is that it is irresponsible and unethical to continue with a practice that is so dangerous to people and horses. Cruelty-free human propelled alternatives – like SLC's Bike Taxis – are available and offer a fun alternative to the use of horse-drawn carriages. Other cities–including Palm Beach, Las Vegas, Reno, Santa Fe, London, and Paris–have already prohibited the use of horse drawn carriages, and I would like to see Salt Lake City follow suit. Thank you.

Dimplex® wall mount fireplace combines a cool look with a warm glow
Contemporary fireplace hangs on the wall like a piece of art and captivates viewers with a wide screen flame pattern.
March 8, 2011
Cambridge, Ontario -- With its space saving design, the new 36" wall mount fireplace by Dimplex North America provides an innovative way to add atmosphere to small or open concept spaces. Its bold, modern lines make it a captivating focal point, while its wall mount installation means that it will not consume valuable floor space. The unit offers year round comfort as users may select flame-only operation or a cozy, enticing combination of flame and heat. The fireplace features the contemporary and alluring Dimplex glass ember bed, making this wall mount fireplace a seamless addition to any modern space.
The sleek design of this fireplace will fascinate those who appreciate a modern, clean look. The antique bronze tinted glass lends a warm glow to complement any décor, while the smooth metallic-finish exterior boasts simple, spare lines, which showcase the flame without visual clutter. The controls are tucked conveniently away to the side, hidden from view so they do not distract from its clean lines. Mounting hardware is included with the unit, so consumers will easily be able to complete its installation.
The innovative flame technology is a compelling feature of this contemporary fireplace. The unit uses a media bed made from special glass pieces that are silvered on one side. Beams from the light source below refract and reflect off of these asymmetrical sized glass pieces creating a soft flicker that imparts a warm, inviting glow to the room. Dimplex patented electric flame technology results in a realistic flame pattern that spans across almost the entire width of the firebox giving it an entrancing visual appeal.
This attractive 36" wall mount fireplace can be installed anywhere that there is available wall space, as there is no complicated and expensive piping or venting required. It plugs into any standard 120V household electrical outlet. The unit is an ideal candidate for creating a captivating feature wall in apartments and condominiums, as all that is required is some wall space in need of a feature and an electrical circuit.
In addition to the sleek design and ease of installation, Dimplex offers several control options. The wall mount unit can be operated manually using the controls built into the firebox, while a three stage hand-held remote control is supplied with each unit for added convenience. These controls manage the unit's powerful fan-forced heater, which can be set to high or low heat position to suit conditions. The flame can be enjoyed even in warm weather or warm climates with the heater switched off.
Ease of use combined with clean, safe operation assures continued satisfaction. The reliable, clean electric operation means the fireplace is easy on the environment and has a small carbon footprint.
The 36" Wall-Mount fireplace is being introduced at Dimplex Booth #4074 at the HPB Expo at the Salt Palace Convention Center in Salt Lake City, Utah on March 3 - 5, 2011.

Podsednik lands on DL
Outfielder strains right adductor during off-day workout
By Scott Merkin / MLB.com
Scott Podsednik suffered a strain of his right adductor during a Monday workout on his own and was placed on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to April 16. The injury is not related to the offseason sports hernia performed on Podsednik, and according to a team spokesman who spoke to White Sox athletic trainer Herm Schneider, there is no timetable for Podsednik's return.
An MRI exam taken on Podsednik's injured area Tuesday showed no tear. But on a scale of minor to severe, Podsednik's injury was viewed as moderate-plus. The injury becomes all the more detrimental when factoring in Podsednik's solid start to the 2007 season.
"We'll miss him, and I hate it for him because it's going so good for him," said White Sox hitting coach Greg Walker. "It's the best approach and most confident I've seen him since the first half of 2005. Everything was going his way, and he was working toward a big year."
"It's unfortunate, Pods was playing pretty good baseball," White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen added. "Hopefully, when it's time to come off the disabled list, he's ready to roll and he won't miss another game."
Podsednik, 31, had a .303 average with one home run, two RBIs, three stolen bases and six runs scored in 10 games, making him one of two White Sox regulars with an average over .240 entering Tuesday's series opener with Texas. After injuring himself working out during the offseason, leading to the late-January hernia surgery, Podsednik worked his way back into healthy action ahead of schedule during Spring Training.
The fleet-footed leadoff man wasn't expected to break camp with the White Sox, but instead found himself in the starting lineup for the second game of the regular season. Podsednik slipped during Monday's workout, leading to the injury.
After sitting out Sunday's game against Cleveland left-hander C.C. Sabathia, Podsednik had told general manager Ken Williams that he didn't like how his body felt with two straight days of inactivity, bringing about Monday's action.
"This is unfortunate, frustrating," Williams said. "I feel for him more than anything because here's a guy that was being proactive and diligent in his work, coming in on an off-day just to make sure his legs were up and ready to go for today's game because he didn't play on Sunday.
"How can you fault a guy like that? We have a lot of guys like that that will come in on days off, come in early. People don't see it. This is indicative of the kind of environment we have. This is a terrible, terrible blow for him personally. For us, but for him, too."
After deciding on Tuesday afternoon that Podsednik would not be able to go, the White Sox recalled left-handed reliever Boone Logan from Triple-A Charlotte. Logan was one of the last players cut out of Spring Training and now puts 12 pitchers on the White Sox pitching staff, instead of having the extra position player.
Rob Mackowiak, who started against Robinson Tejeda on Tuesday, will platoon with Pablo Ozuna in left field, according to Guillen. Brian Anderson also will get some time in left, with Darin Erstad remaining in center field and moving to the leadoff spot when he's in the lineup.
Guillen mentioned that the White Sox could stick with the extra pitcher even when Podsednik returns.
"We'll see how we're playing," Guillen said. "It's all about pitching and defense. If we need a pitcher, we will keep him."
With Podsednik's legs being essential to his speed game, the White Sox once again will err on the side of caution. Williams believes Podsednik's fourth career trip to the disabled list for a groin injury, including the Minors, could become a prolonged period of inactivity.
"His game is dependent on his legs being healthy, so this may be a little while," Williams. "But we've got BA, got Mackowiak, got Ozuna we can put out there at the leadoff spot, too. We'll keep rolling along. The game is pitching and catching it first."
"Start going down that list, looking at speed guys who play this game for a long time and can be great leadoff hitters and don't get hurt, and there are not a lot of them around," Walker added. "It's a tough spot. They are very active, they use their legs a lot and then starting the season with the weather like it is, it's tough."
Pregame treatment made Podsednik unavailable for comment on Tuesday. His hard work and dedication on Monday might make Podsednik unavailable on the field for more than the next couple of weeks.
"I don't know how a player has a day off and gets hurt on their day off," said Guillen, shaking his head with a smile. "That's amazing. That's the way we roll. We have a day off and somebody got hurt.
"This kid is a workaholic. We're not going to lose this thing because we don't work. We do. They do. I don't do anything. I just sleep. They work hard. Sometimes, crazy things happen."

Since 2001, this New Year's Day space has been devoted to looking forward to the coming year in sports.
There have been serious predictions, silly predictions and wishful predictions. Some of them have come true. Most of them haven't.
After a 2011 that was filled with brilliant highs and disgraceful lows, this seems like a good time to wish again for things that will make the sports world better. Here's a foursome to start things out.
1. A real college football postseason.
The upcoming BCS games in New Orleans are so exquisitely flawed that it has rekindled the annual hope that real and significant change is on the horizon to fix the disastrous BCS.
The first sham is the once venerable Sugar Bowl, which sold out integrity and merit to the highest bidders (or presumed best travelers). The Sugar Bowl committee bypassed more worthy, but lower-profile, programs Boise State and Kansas State to invite big-name conference also-rans Virginia Tech and Michigan. The idea was that their fan bases would flock to the French Quarter in droves. Turns out the joke was on them, because Hokies and Wolverines fans were too unimpressed with their teams' unfulfilled seasons to want to spend a small fortune to watch a meaningless game to see which might claim a final top-10 ranking. If the BCS bowls aren't going to be based on merit, they have no value. If they have no value, they should be flushed.
But this disgraceful cronyism was upstaged by the Superdome showdown coming a week later. The SEC rematch between No. 1 LSU and division runner-up Alabama is exactly the kind of ridiculous climax the BCS needed to finally reach implosion threshold. It completely debunks the system's stated myth that "every game counts" by proving that only some games count. Alabama gets a second chance despite already losing on its home field to Louisiana State University. Why? Because the Crimson Tide just FEELS like the second best team to the pageant voters. It should be noted that the computers picked Alabama third despite the fact that Oklahoma State beat eight Division I teams with winning records to Alabama's three. Results, however, don't really matter. Just appearances.
This will change. This latest mockery of a "championship" will lead to necessary reform. The BCS can't hold up any longer. It will at the very least create a "plus-one" system that becomes a de facto four-team playoff. Here's hoping that opens the door to a more legitimate playoff down the road.
2. A tighter MLB postseason.
Major League Baseball seems intent on ruining drama, and the recent decision to expand its postseason with a second wild card team in each league to create a one-game play-in game is another example of greedy leadership.
The final day of the 2011 regular season was arguably the greatest single night of baseball in more than a century. Four games on that last day sealed epic meltdowns by the Braves and the Red Sox and stunning comebacks by the Cardinals and Rays. Three of the games created a simultaneous frenzy of drama that was akin to college basketball's March Madness. It left fans flipping between channels breathless.
All of that would have been just another day in a 162-game season if the wild cards were expanded. As much as I didn't like the wild card option to begin with, it has added another layer of intrigue among pretty worthy teams. Further diluting the playoff pool will only dull the drama and diminish the value of postseason qualification. Here's hoping MLB rethinks this ill-conceived "enhancement."
3. An awakening of golf's leadership.
Golf is my favorite sport to play and cover, and so many things about it could be made better if the folks in charge of governing the game would get their collective acts together. Here are three things of immediate concern that need to be addressed.
The first is to scrap this absurd idea of eliminating the openly democratic process known as Q School for a fall series between flailing PGA Tour members and Nationwide Tour scrappers to determine status. Why should a guy who had a whole season to make money on both tours get a second chance while the very best collegians must be forced to hit the minor leagues and mini-tour dreamers get shut out? Q School, as flawed and sadistic as it is, gives everyone an equal chance. The tour's new plan would create a closed shop.
Speaking of which, there has become too great a reliance on the flawed world golf rankings. So much now rides on the arbitrary fractional line of top-50 status – major championship and WGC inclusion – that it is widening the gap between the haves and have-nots. When silly season events such as the Chevron and Nedbank challenges can let a guy leap from 52nd to 21st in the world, something is wrong with the system. Here's hoping an entity with the clout of Augusta National can break this exclusionary clique and create its own criteria for qualification that isn't so reliant on something created and run by a player-management company.
On the governing side, it's time the ruling bodies showed some backbone on the technology front. They've lost the plot on golf balls and clubs that have made some of the great courses obsolete. The least they can do is step up and nip this long-putter issue in the bud before it's too late. Golf clubs should NEVER be anchored to the body – period. It is literally a crutch. Long and belly putters were created to help golfers whose nerves created the yips. Shouldn't controlling those nerves be a part of the game? No offense to PGA champ Keegan Bradley and rising star Webb Simpson, but their accomplishments will always have that asterisk until they show they can do it without a crutch.
4. A return to glory by Tiger Woods.
There have been plenty of declarations that Woods is "back" after he snapped a two-year slump and won his 16-player exhibition in December. While reasonable folks understand that the invincible Tiger who once dominated the game like nobody else will likely never return, he's still one of the best players in the world and capable of climbing back to No. 1.
A victory soon in a major (most likely the Masters) and some rivalries with a new generation of challengers along with a few aging stars like Phil Mickelson will only make golf even better. Woods may or may not be capable of catching and surpassing Jack Nicklaus' 18 majors, but it would be thrilling to see him draw closer and make it interesting while guys like Luke Donald, Rory McIlroy, Jason Day, Charl Schwartzel and Rickie Fowler try to hold him at bay.

The Quebec government is taking a tougher stance on controversial shale gas development in the province.
Until now a staunch supporter of shale gas extraction - with its potential bounty of jobs, economic development and lucrative royalties - the government of Liberal Premier Jean Charest appears to be wavering in the wake of a report Friday of a gas leak at one of the test wells.
For months, provincial ministers have played down concerns expressed by residents and environmentalists about the extraction technology known as "fracking" - the fracturing of layers of shale with a high-pressure blast of water and chemicals to free up the natural gas. One minister even scoffed that cows give off more greenhouse gas than shale gas wells.
Opponents say there are many documented instances of contaminated drinking water, damage to farmland and other fallout from fracking operations in the United States. They have called for a moratorium on the Quebec development.
On Friday, Mr. Charest and Environment Minister Pierre Arcand hardened their tone on shale gas, signaling they are rethinking the government's official policy.
"There will be shale gas exploration and extraction on the condition that it can be done correctly. If not, there won't be any," Mr. Charest told reporters at a Liberal caucus gathering in Lac-Beauport.
Mr. Arcand went further. "The industry is not in control of the situation," he said, adding that he is "extremely concerned by what is happening."
A gas leak at a test well in Leclercville, southwest of Quebec City, was reported on Friday. Mr. Arcand said environmental inspectors will be sent to all 29 exploration wells in the province.
Calgary-based Talisman Energy Inc. spokeswoman Phoebe Buckland said the company's well in Leclercville had not been experiencing a "gas leak," but rather a "surface casing vent flow."
That is a "relatively common issue in gas development - shale or conventional. Industry manages it through vents on wells and regular monitoring of wells," she said. "In Leclercville, we are doing some remedial work to try to stop the gas flow."
Michael Binnion, chief executive officer of Calgary-based Questerre Energy Corp. - a key player in Quebec's shale gas sector - said this latest episode in the shale gas controversy shows that more work needs to be done to explain the industry and the technology.
"I think it's another demonstration of how poorly understood our industry is," he said in an interview. "There is a lack of an ability to put these emissions in the right context. It's well known in environmental reports that these levels of emissions are part of the process."
Oil-and-gas drilling on the scale of the shale gas exploration is new to the province, which sits above vast deposits of natural gas.
Mr. Charest stopped short of saying he now favours a moratorium and said the next step is to study the recommendations in a report from the province's environmental-impact assessment agency, expected at the end of February.

HOOVER, Ala. -- In another life, this might have been Mark Richt's first year in the Southeastern Conference.
Richt, 52, is now the league's longest-tenured head coach. He's entering his 12th year at Georgia this fall, but things might have been very different. While he was offensive coordinator at Florida State, he interviewed for the head coaching job at Missouri. Richt's first season at Georgia was 2001.
"It wasn't a decision that I turned down Missouri," Richt said. "It was a decision that Missouri, I believe coach Pinkel was the best man for the job. Obviously, they were correct."
Article Continues Below
Their paths will cross when Missouri hosts Georgia in the Tigers' first SEC game on Sept. 8.
Richt's path at Georgia has taken many turns over the last 11 years. He's won five division titles and two SEC championships after finishing 8-4 in his first year in Athens.
"After playing that season, even though we didn't win the East, I felt like we could have won the East," Richt said. "If we won a couple close games, we could have been right there."
Winning the conference is still Richt's goal. The Bulldogs were picked to finish first in the East by the media this week and received the third most votes to win the league outright a year after losing the SEC title game to LSU.
Some of Georgia's players, like linebacker Jarvis Jones, could have gone pro and would have been high draft picks. Instead, they're back for another shot at the conference crown.
"We said that we had some unfinished business," wide receiver Tavarres King said. "It's winning the big game of the SEC Championship."
That road starts with Missouri, where Richt might have been if not for a decision made long ago.
"I think Georgia has as good a chance as anybody to win it," Richt said.
Alabama steady in preparation of title defense
To describe Nick Saban as statuesque would be a slight to Rodane's Thinker. The stoic Alabama coach took the podium on Thursday morning after contending with a mob of Crimson Tide fans in the hotel lobby, showing no signs of the chaos he had waded through.
His team, though, is in flux. The defending national champions lose 13 starters from a year ago, including four first round draft picks. Alabama was picked to finish second in the Southeastern Conference by the media, but there's plenty of production to replace in Tuscaloosa.
"They're not really the 2010 team, they're not really the 2011 team," Saban said. "There's a lot of players on this team that this is the opportunity for them and their season."
The 2010 season is still fresh in Saban's mind and in those of many of his players. After winning the national title in 2009, the Tide were named preseason favorites to repeat the next year. But they stumbled, losing games to LSU, South Carolina and Auburn.
"The first time, Coach Saban said 'No complacency' and we talked about it and said it to each other but for some reason, we didn't buy into it," senior center Barrett Jones said. "This year, it's started with the older guys talking to the younger guys. It's not going to sneak up on us this year."
Saban learned from that season as well. Refocusing the team every day and focusing on details will be important to Saban this year, and he'll have to start early. Alabama opens the season against Michigan in Cowboy Stadium, likely a battle of two top-five teams.
Until then, thoughts of the Tide's last attempt at a title defense will linger in the minds of its players.
"As leaders, most of us now were there in 2010 and we saw what can happen, what complacency did to us," tight end Michael Williams said.
Warford on media's All-SEC team
Senior guard Larry Warford was Kentucky's sole representative on the media's All-SEC teams released on Thursday. He was a second team choice.
Warford was also named on the preseason watch list for the Rotary Lombardi award on Thursday, given annually to the nation's top linebacker or lineman.
LSU led the way with six players named to seven first team All-SEC spots (defensive back Tyrann Mathieu doubled as a returner). Alabama had five first team picks.
The media picked LSU to win the conference, with Alabama finishing second. The Tigers were picked first on 129 of 222 ballots submitted by the media. Georgia was picked to win the SEC East and finished third in voting for the SEC champion.
Kentucky was picked seventh in the SEC East. South Carolina, Florida, Missouri, Tennessee, and Vanderbilt were predicted to finish second through sixth in the division, respectively. Arkansas, Auburn, Texas A&M, Mississippi State and Ole Miss were picked to finish third through seventh in the West, respectively.
Ole Miss moving into Memphis
The city of Memphis has been good [db]Hugh Freeze over the years. He first gained notoriety while head coach at Memphis' Briarcrest High School, when future Ole Miss star Michael Oher gained national recognition.
Freeze, an Oxford native, is planning on spending plenty of time in Memphis as head coach at Ole Miss. The Rebels recently reached an agreement to play a four-game home-and-home series with the Memphis Tigers from 2014-17, it was announced this week. He'll also recruit the area heavily.
"(Playing Memphis) basically gives us eight home games," Freeze said. "I know it won't be labeled as a home game when we go there, but the benefit of that is that we have 85 players or 75 players, whatever we travel to away games, their parents will get there."
Junior Barry Brunetti, one of two players competing for the starting quarterback job this fall for the Rebels, is a Memphis native. A handful of other players on the roster are from the area, and several Memphis players have been important to the Rebels in previous seasons.
"I've made no bones about it, we consider that town to be in state for us," Freeze said. "We have great relationships with the high school coaches, alumni and friends there. It's very important that we recruit well there."
Quick hits
--Freeze responded to South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier's barb from Tuesday in his time at the podium. Spurrier quipped on Tuesday that if he made the schedule, "Georgia would be playing LSU and we'd play Ole Miss."
"I guess my thought would be 2013, they're on our schedule," Freeze said. "We will circle that date and maybe change his perspective about what he thinks about Ole Miss football."
--Saban floated an idea for Penn State to place a tax on tickets to athletic events with the proceeds going to organizations that prevent child abuse.
"We all think that discipline is punishment, how are we going to punish someone," Saban said. "What I always try to think of is, what do we want the outcome to be."
--Richt said LSU quarterback Zach Mettenberger, who originally played for Georgia before being kicked off the team following an arrest, would have had a bright future if he'd been able to stay in Athens. Even with a Heisman candidate at quarterback in Aaron Murray, Richt said Mettenberger would either be starting this year or competing for the starting job.
"He's a great player," Richt said. "LSU is going to be excited that they have him."

How interesting, I ate there for the first time last Monday 27th June - and noticed everyone was being asked to repeat their order so that the waitress could work out the bill. When it was our turn they said the till had broken down - fair enough; however, after recalculating and paying approx £80 (even though we ordered the Monday specials) the manager came over and gave us back another £12 saying they had overcharged us! Apart from that, I toughly enjoyed the experience, nice ambience, great food so I am prepared to give them a second chance!
