Piazza retires after 16 seasons
Catcher leaves behind legacy of production, perseverance
By Tom Singer / MLB.com
Mike Piazza, the self-made great who set Major League records for home runs by a catcher and for perseverance, formally announced his retirement from the sport on Tuesday. Piazza, 39, made the decision seven months after he had become a free agent without receiving any appealing offers to prolong what almost surely will have been a Hall of Fame career. If Piazza, who thus will first appear on the Hall of Fame ballot in 2012, does reach Cooperstown, he would set yet another record: the only 62nd-round Draft choice in that shrine. Piazza's announcement drew quick reaction from the people touched by his career, such as Mets chairman and CEO Fred Wilpon, who saluted him "for his Hall of Fame caliber accomplishments in our game and with our team." Chipper Jones of the Atlanta Braves -- Piazza's chief rivals both in his Dodgers days in the old National League West and later as a Met in the NL East -- called him "the best offensive catcher I've ever seen." Piazza's afterthought selection by the Dodgers in the First Year Player Draft -- he was player No. 1,390 chosen, as a personal favor to Los Angeles manager Tom Lasorda, his godfather through a friendship with the family -- endured as the amazing backdrop to a 16-year career that produced 427 homers and a lifetime .308 average. Of those home runs, 396 came as a catcher to shatter the previous record at the position, Carlton Fisk's 351. Next on that list are Johnny Bench (327) and Yogi Berra (306). All three are in the Hall of Fame. "It has been an amazing journey," Piazza said in a lengthy statement released by his Beverly Hills, Calif.-based agent, Dan Lozano. "So today, I walk away with no regrets." Lasorda called Piazza's career "one of the greatest success stories" that exceeded everyone's most reckless dreams. "I can't say I knew he would turn out to be a Hall of Famer," said the former manager, a Hall of Famer himself. "But I saw the ability and nobody else saw it. Nobody wanted to draft him." Piazza's final season, with the Oakland A's, turned into a strange farewell tour. He batted a typically solid .275 in 83 games as the Athletics' DH, but his return from an early May shoulder injury was delayed as Oakland considered putting him back behind the plate. But after working toward that objective and a brief Minor League assignment, Piazza resumed his DH duties when he rejoined the A's in late July. The A's were Piazza's fifth team, and the 2007 season was his only one in the American League. He spent his first 6 1/2 seasons with the Dodgers prior to a blockbuster deal to Florida, where he spent a week before the Marlins dealt him on to the Mets. Following 7 1/2 seasons with the Mets, highlighted by his appearance in the 2000 World Series and two emotional confrontations with Yankees pitcher Roger Clemens, Piazza became a free agent for the first time and signed with San Diego. He batted .283, with 22 home runs, in his only season with the Padres before moving north. In his prepared statement, Piazza reflected on his New York years with particular fondness. "Within the eight years I spent in New York, I was able to take a different look at the game of baseball," he said. "I wasn't just a young kid that was wet behind the ears anymore -- I was learning from other veteran guys like Johnny Franco, who taught me how to deal with the pressures of playing in New York, and Al Leiter, who knew what it took to win a world championship." "Mike electrified New York City and energized our franchise after we acquired him in 1998," Wilpon said. "He was an integral part of our 2000 National League Championship club. "Mike played the game with passion, class and heart -- symbolic of our city. We wish Mike, his wife, Alicia, and daughter Nicoletta all health and happiness as he begins a new chapter in his life." Piazza also delivered a heartfelt message to the Shea Stadium fans who warmly adopted him: "I have to say that my time with the Mets wouldn't have been the same without the greatest fans in the world. One of the hardest moments of my career was walking off the field at Shea Stadium and saying goodbye. My relationship with you made my time in New York the happiest of my career and for that, I will always be grateful." "The guy could flat out rake to all fields," Jones said. "For a while, he was considered the best right-handed hitter in the game. You didn't want to see him come up with the game on the line, because usually he was going to hurt you."
Piazza never appeared frustrated by the absence of any tangible offers to remain on the field. Recently married and a new father, his announcement Tuesday came off as little more than a necessary formality."After discussing my options with my wife, family and agent, I felt it is time to start a new chapter in my life," he said in his statement. His old chapter did not take long to unfold after his clandestine Draft selection. Few people probably recall that Piazza was drafted as a first baseman, out of Miami-Dade College. Sensing his path to the Major Leagues would accelerate at a different, more demanding, less popular position, he took it upon himself to go to the Winter Leagues and learn to catch. "Anyone who thinks anything was given to Mike because of Tommy has no understanding of what Mike had to go through," said Fred Claire, Dodgers general manager when Piazza was drafted and through 1998. "He earned every step, as well as my respect for all he accomplished." His perception was perfect. Piazza made his Major League debut barely four years after being drafted, on Sept. 1, 1992 -- Mike Scioscia's final season as the Dodgers' longtime rock behind the plate. Piazza batted .232 in 21 games in 1992 -- then quickly embarked on some of the most remarkable offensive seasons for anyone, much less someone who regularly squatted through 140 games. In 1997, he batted .362, with 40 homers and 124 RBIs. In his first half-season with the Mets, in 1998, he batted .348, with 23 homers and 76 RBIs in 394 at-bats. In his final three full seasons with the Dodgers, from 1995 through 1997, Piazza batted .348, with 108 homers and 322 RBIs. Discounting his debut September, his average did not dip below .300 until his 10th season, when he batted .280 for the Mets. In that 1988 Draft, only five more players were even selected after Piazza. Out of that Draft's final five rounds, only two players ever made it to the Majors -- Don Wengert, a pitcher who would go 14-32 for six different teams, and Piazza. An amazing journey, indeed.

DC Movie Update: 'Major Announcements' Coming in 2010
- By
- 60 Comments
For a few days now, Collider has been sharing a the knowledge they gained from a lengthy talk with producer Dan Lin (Sherlock Holmes, Terminator Salvation). We recently posted a snippet of Lin talking about Terminator Salvation's ending, and today we're going to follow the conversation into the subject of DC/WB's slate of upcoming superhero movies, including Justice League, which has been stopping and going and stopping again for a few years now.
The word from Lin: Justice League is still on hold. However, it may not stay that way for too long – just one of many things we should hear more about in early 2010, as we now have further confirmation that DC/WB will be unveiling their superhero movie plans to the masses!
If you think back a year or two ago (can people still remember things that far back?), you'll recall that DC/WB had a plan to do a Justice League movie first, and then use that group movie as a springboard for individual films featuring their second-tier characters (Green Lantern, Flash, Hawkman, Wonder Woman…).
However, with the formation of DC Entertainment, the original game plan has apparently been altered and DCE/WB will now be following the Marvel blueprint. According to Lin, "it seems like they're (Warner Bros.) building to Justice League instead of going with the team movie first and doing individual movies after that."
Now, yesterday we heard some wild RUMORS surface about the possibility of a Hawkman movie going into the pipeline. Those same sources assured us that this rumor would be cemented as fact early in 2010, as DCE/WB was going to be making some 'major announcements' regarding their superhero properties. I can't confirm the first part of that rumor (the Hawkman movie), but, according to Lin, "they're [WB] unveiling their DC strategy in January."
For more on Dan Lin talking about possible DC/WB projects, go HERE.
So, between what Lin has said and the rumors circling the water cooler, it seems as though we'll know much more about the fate of the Justice League movie (and many other DC superhero movies that we've been anticipating) sometime early next year. Until then, let's bust open the comment section for discussion:
What DC Superhero movies would you like to see first and foremost? And how should they approach a Justice League movie?

Chris and Rebecca's Contemporary Colonial
Name: Chris and Rebecca
Location: Jamaica Plain, Boston, Massachusetts
Size: Just under 2,000 square feet
Years lived in: 5 years; owned
Chris and Rebecca have founded two thriving businesses, InfraRed5 and Brass Monkey, and were recently listed as one of Boston's power couples. But even with their intense focus on growing their businesses, they still have the passion to create a beautiful home. Located in the centre of Boston's Jamaica Plain neighborhood, their home is lovely and welcoming.
This colonial style home, and the many similar ones that surround it, are what makes Jamaica Plain so special. Chris and Rebecca are fortunate enough to live in a house that's in the central part of Jamaica Plain, but is tucked away along a dead-end side street. Their office is also in the neighborhood, within walking distance from their house, so they've made their home a pleasant and comfortable escape from the stresses of running two businesses.
The home was renovated prior to their move in date in 2008. The space is clean and fresh, with loads of natural light reflecting off the soft, neutral colors on the walls. The first level is an open floor layout with the big, white kitchen, which leads out to the patio, as an anchor.
Chris and Rebecca love to find hidden gems at flea markets, and it shows, with several unique pieces scattered throughout their home. Those flea market finds add a rustic flair, which is balanced by contemporary pieces from retailers like CB2, Room 68, and Restoration Hardware. Goes to show that even with a crazy busy professional life, it's possible to make time to create a home that's charming, comfortable, and expressive.
Apartment Therapy Survey:
Favorite Element: Architecturally speaking, the open floor plan downstairs. We like to entertain and Chris loves to cook, so it is great to be able to chat with guests and him while he works.
As far as favorite element in the house, this is a tough question. We really love so much. There are meaningful items handed down from my grandmother, artwork made by Chris' mom, artwork given to us by friends for our wedding and as gifts over the years, items purchased on trips. I guess I couldn't say particularly.
Biggest Challenge: At this point, space for artwork. We love to support emerging artists and we are running low on wall space! I would like to have them all hung up.
Proudest DIY: Covering the bottom of the couch cushions with my friend Susana (makegoodstudio.com). The light colored couch is not good with pets in the house, so covering them with something a little more durable was a great choice!
Biggest Indulgence: The Restoration Hardware 1950s Copenhagen Chair. It took about 6 months to pick out the perfect chair for that area of the living room. We wanted something that brought the whole space together and also created a great reading nook.
Best Advice: If you love it, incorporate it. Don't worry about styles competing with each other. Working on a budget? Buy floor samples and at flea markets. It is amazing the deals you can find it you poke around for a while.
Dream Sources: A flea market where you have no idea what is around the corner!
Resources of Note:
Thanks, Chris and Rebecca!

ASUS springs a pleasant surprise with an extra large 1920x1200 LCD
Subject: Displays | July 15, 2010 - 11:46 AM | Jeremy Hellstrom
The ASUS VW266H
is a super sized 1920x1200 LCD, at 25.5" viewable area it trumps many other displays by as much as 2", though the price stays fairly reasonable. While OC3D was reviewing this monitor they had a worry that the extra size might mean the display suffered from fat pixel syndrome, as the pixels get bigger antialiasing is not going to work as well at smoothing out the jaggies. Fortunately that was not the case at all and that fact, along with the plethora of available connectors (except DisplayPort) means that they have no trouble recommending the purchase of this monitor at all.
"The last Asus monitor we looked at had a great panel and an abysmal design. How does this
latest one fair?"

One Amazing Thing I've Done
Manoa Falls, Hawaii.
It was a great experience to walk alone along the path. There were 3 levels. The first part can be done by all the family, that's when you arrive at the actual Manoa Falls, really nice views. Then the 2nd level starts, a bit more complicated and dangerous, since it's slippery and it becomes darker because of all the trees and vegetation. Then you arrive to the "end" of the path. But if you look closely you'll find a little path covered with vegetation, if so, follow it. You'll arrive at a great sight viewing and then you'll see a rope...
I'll let you experience the rest of the path, if you ever get the chance to go there ;)

Say What, Now?
There are a lot of candidate debate forums this time around in the Democratic primary season. It's got to make it harder for the campaigns to calculate (not to say triangulate) all the moving parts to come up with their sums telling them which ones to attend:
MIAMI — Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton is going to turn down the Univision TV network's invitation to participate in what would be the first presidential debates to be conducted in Spanish, while the other major candidates are undecided.
Only the two Democratic contenders fluent in Spanish, Gov. Bill Richardson of New Mexico and Sen. Chris Dodd of Connecticut, committed Wednesday to coming to the University of Miami for the debates.
The rest are checking their schedules, except for Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., an also-ran who made headlines last year by belittling Miami as a "third-world country."
"I can say with 100 percent certainty that we will not be attending," Tancredo spokesman Alan Moore said.
The candidates' decisions will be closely observed at a time when Latinos make up the fastest-growing voting bloc and proposed immigration reforms are roiling the nation.
Univision reaches more viewers than CNN and MSNBC, which have showed debates. Latino political strategist Joe Garcia, chairman of the Miami-Dade Democratic Party, said: "You don't turn down NBC, CBS, or ABC, and you don't turn down Univision."
But Clinton spokesman Mo Elleithee said Wednesday the candidate plans to attend only the six debates sanctioned by the Democratic National Committee from July through January, when the primaries begin. Two of those debates will be simulcast by CNN in Spanish, while the two NBC-MSNBC debates will be rebroadcast in Spanish by the Telemundo network. ABC and NBC are broadcasting the other two forums.
"We encourage the Democratic National Committee and Univision to work together so that Univision will have a role in one of these debates," Elleithee said.
I'm a little confused by the Clinton camp's statement, since Clinton attended the Sojourners Faith & Politics Forum, which was not sanctioned by the DNC. She is also reportedly attending the NAACP debate on July 12 and the Tavis Smiley debate on June 28. Neither of these are sanctioned by the DNC.
It's one thing to decide not to attend the Univision debate, conducted in Spanish, because you can't, well, speak Spanish. It's not as if people don't know the candidates can't speak fluent Spanish, other than Richardson (update: and Dodd). But the campaign's stated reason for not attending insults the intelligence of everyone involved. This dog ate my homework shit just doesn't fly.

The pop rock five-piece will play at the House of Blues Anaheim on Saturday. "We're excited to be going back to Anaheim," guitarist Jared Monaco said. "We always have a good time there."
When the Maine first started, they had to hold off on touring and wait until drummer Pat and bassist Garrett graduated high school. They relied on MySpace to help them get their sound out instead.
They released their sophomore album, Black and White in July on Warner Brothers Records. Monaco said that recording for this album was less stressful than their pervious album, Can't Stop Wont Stop. "We were more prepared this time. We went in with 45 demos. Choosing what was going to make it to the album was the hardest part," Monaco said. "It's nice to have planning this time around."
The band's songwriting style is changing from basic love songs to storytelling. "It's hard to write new songs with the old songs in mind," he said. "We're dabbling in the storytelling aspect now. In the future, fans are going to get something they're not expecting."
The Maine got their name from a Ivory song called "Coast of Maine." "A lot of people ask us, 'Are you guys from Maine?'" Monaco said. "[Ivory] were influential to us. Now, oddly enough, we're good friends with the guys from Ivory." He said the band members of Ivory are flattered that The Maine named their band after one of their songs.

Monaco has been playing guitar for 11 years. "I started playing because my parents never let me get a drum set [laughs]. They didn't want the noise." From time to time he'll dabble on the drums during a sound check, but he sticks to guitar.
The Maine will play a sold out show at the House of Blues Anaheim Saturday with Never Shout Never. Doors open at 6:45.

Problem is, neither of these books touched at all on actual graphic presentation. Where do I go from here? Win32 seemed logical, but I keep hearing that it's inferior to OpenGL. OpenGL seems viable, but the tutorials seem fragmented all over the internet and I'm unsure even if there are programs/plug-ins I need to download, or even where to get them.

You can see ProEvo stations in several shots. I guess Sony's looking to start pushing it now that EA's behind MS with FIFA.
It's more to do with the fact that PES has the Champs League rights that FIFA doesn't has.

I imagine it'll either be game footage or it'll be "inspirational" like the double life commercial.
Yep. They will keep the hype machine for E3 but will definitely be showing something tomorrow, IMO.
Doubt anything to do with the box will be shown that we didn't already see in those teasers.
They could even roll first PS4 commercials during ad breaks. CL final is golden opportunity, there will be hundreds of millions watching this game around the world, even if two German clubs are playing
CL Final is tomorrow. Sony will be smart to plaster PS4 all over the billboards on the touch line.

Ngalga Cottage is a fledgling suburban permaculture homestead in the stunning Hawkesbury. Things will be growing (edibles in the garden and yogurt, ferments, preserves and maybe even beer in the kitchen). Flat mates will be expected to live sustainably, avoiding waste as much as possible. Two boisterous, but lovable dogs currently live on the property and hopefully soon there will be an addition of chickens. Flat mates interested in learning about permaculture or generally helping out with related tasks would be much appreciated.

Feel any aches or pains simply drift away as guests sip a cocktail while taking in the fantastic views of the seascape as guests voyage at sunset.

The country isn't really advancing. By comparison with earlier recessions, it is going backward. Despite the most stimulative fiscal policy in American history and a trillion-dollar expansion to the money supply, the economy over the last three years has been declining. After 2.4% annual growth rates in gross domestic product in 2010 and 2011, the economy slowed to 1.5% growth in 2012. Cumulative growth for the past 12 quarters was just 6.3%, the slowest of all 11 recessions since World War II. ...
The prime directive of any bureaucracy is self-preservation. If you really want to help poor people, get to know some personally (like what one sees in Scripture), instead of giving it to professional guilt manipulators & assuming they'll do the right thing.
Scott McMahan wrote:If the media did not constantly tell us we were in a "great" recession, would anyone be able to tell by looking? We're living in an age where poor people have cellphones and cable. Pro sports is spending record amounts on free agents, because they're making record revenues from TV. Since the recession started, not a single sporting event has been canceled because no one could afford it. If it wasn't for the media, I'd say we were in a golden age of crazy prosperity.
Further you neglect the significant cord-cutting that has occurred in the cable TV industry."New York, NY; June 6, 2011: According to new research by Knowledge Networks, the number of Americans now relying exclusively on over-the-air (OTA) television broadcasting in their home increased to almost 46 million, up from 42 million just a year ago.¹ The recently completed survey also found that.."Partly due to poverty, but also due to the culture and technological alternatives changing with time.

Trooper Michael Slagle died following a vehicle crash on Longmire Road, near Emory Road, in Knox County.
His patrol car slid off the roadway after striking a patch of ice. Despite being stuck in his vehicle, he was able to notify dispatchers of the crash and rescue crews were sent to the scene. A responding fire truck slid on the same patch of ice and flipped over on top of his patrol car while he was still inside.
At some point during the incident Trooper Slagle suffered a fatal heart attack.
According to THP, Trooper Mike Slagle, who was in his 50's, was on his way to work in his patrol car when he crashed his vehicle on Longmire Road in Northeast Knox County. He called for help, but officials say he died before help arrived.
When a Rural/Metro fire truck arrived on the scene, the driver of the truck was unable to stop on the icy road, and slid off the pavement and landed on top of Trooper Slagle's cruiser.
One firefighter suffered a bloody nose in that accident, but none of the others were hurt.
A man who was on the scene trying to help the trooper was hit by the fire truck, and suffered a collarbone injury. He was transported to a local hospital. There is no word on his condition.
Around noon, Slagle was reportedly still inside the cruiser and was unconscious as crews worked to remove him.
But THP later reported that the trooper had died of natural causes, reportedly a heart attack.
It's unclear if he died before or after the firetruck landed on top of his cruiser.

Kirkland eyes strong finish
Chris Kirkland has urged Wigan's supporters to play their part in the push for a top-half finish.
Last Updated: 17/03/09 3:53pm
Chris Kirkland has urged Wigan's supporters to play their part in the push for a top-half finish.
The Latics brought a poor run of results to an end on Saturday as they defeated Sunderland 2-1 at the Stadium of Light.
Kirkland accepts that Wigan are not quite safe yet but he is not too concerned about the threat of relegation and is thinking more about securing a place in the top ten.
Steve Bruce's men, currently in eighth spot with 38 points, face struggling Hull City at home this weekend and Kirkland realises the importance of picking up another win.
The goalkeeper is also looking ahead to next season and a bright future for the club.
"We need our fans to come out and give us some great support against Hull, and if we can get a win it will go a long, long way to keeping us up there," he told the club's official website.
"I personally don't think 38 points is enough, and being greedy I hope we can get even more points and a few more wins and look to consolidate a top-ten finish.
"It would be great for the likes of our chairman who has pumped so much money into the club, so if we can finish as high as possible it would generate more money to maybe buy more players and keep improving.
"That's what it's all about in football these days, you've got to keep moving forward."

SF Sketchfest & Another Planet Entertainment Present
Reggidency: A Reggie Watts Series
444 Jessie St
San Francisco, CA, 94103
Doors 7:00 PM / Show 8:00 PM
This event is 21 and over
Reggie Watts, internationally renowned vocalist/ beatboxer/ musician/ comedian/ improvisor, amazes audiences with his unpredictable performances, which are created on-the-spot using only his formidable voice and looping pedals. Blending and blurring the lines between comedy and music with his unique lyrical style, LA Weekly calls Reggie "the most wildly inventive new talent of the past five years."
Keyboardist Robert Glasper's landmark 2012 album Black Radio (recently nominated for two Grammy Awards) boldly stakes out new musical territory and transcends any notion of genre, drawing from jazz, hip-hop, R&B and rock, but refusing to be pinned down by any one tag. The Los Angeles Times once wrote that "it's a short list of jazz pianists who have the wherewithal to drop a J Dilla reference into a Thelonious Monk cover, but not many jazz pianists are Robert Glasper."

I am going to be honest, I have pirated some games in the past. That being said there have been a lot of times I have pirated a game because it did not provide a sufficient demo for me to try before I buy it. If I enjoyed the game I will go buy the real game, and if I didn't enjoy it then I don't buy it.
I utilize a lot of the community created cracks, and have even done a few of my own because I hate it when a game requires a copy of the CD/DVD to be in the drive while I am playing. I shouldn't have to keep my discs all in a case near me, and have to get up (because my computer is not positioned to be easily accessible due to my space) and change the disc out if I have the game installed.
I am a developer and can appreciate the time and effort folks put into creating the software, which is why I use piracy as a sort of demo before I buy, instead of just using it as the way to obtain the whole game with no cost and not support the developers. At the same time I don't want to waste my money on a bad product.
MS Visio is an example of a non-game that I have used the same technique for. I used the visio knock-offs for a while but wanted to try the real thing so I pirated a copy of it, found I loved it and bought real version of it. Not all piracy is bad, and I would have never purchased visio unless it was bargain binned for a couple buck, if you know what I mean.

" 13 Brick Lane, London, E1 6PU. Tel:020 7247 5755 "
Despite being a Londoner my entire life, I had my very first meal along the famous Brick Lane in the East End only a few weeks ago. Brick Lane is famed for its street-long choice of curry houses and has been drawing customers in with the smell of spices, exotic flavours and taste of Bangladesh and India for a number of years.
It was upon this famous street in London (in Tower Hamlets to be more specific) that my partner and I found a restaurant called the Sheraz Bangla Lounge. We actually found it via the internet and a website that offered a discount if we booked a table online. (Note: the website was not owned by the restaurant. The website was Top Table and is completely independent).
The deal seemed like great value - for £9.95 each, we would be served a 5-course meal, from a set menu. In addition we could see that over 400 people had rated the Sheraz Bangla Lounge and that it had an average rating of 7.8 out of a possible 10. The table was thus booked for that same evening.
Our table was booked for the latest slot, around 11pm, as we had plans before dinner. At around 8pm, we received a call from the restaurant saying they might be shutting early as it was Eid (Islamic festival) the following day. They wanted to see if we could make it a bit earlier therefore instead of the scheduled time of 11pm. On the one hand I appreciated that they had even bothered to call - on the other hand I felt if they wanted to close early on that particular day they really should have stated that on the third party website through which we had booked our table. Anyway no harm was done as our plans coincidentally had changed a little so that it was actually more convenient for us to have a slightly earlier dinner, and the person who had called us had been very polite about the issue.
Finding the restaurant was a little difficult. Although it is on Brick Lane, it is not right in the centre, where most of the other restaurants are and where the general 'busy-ness' of the street exists. It is located at the far end of Brick Lane (of course which end depends on which direction you are coming from). I actually liked that it was not right in the centre of things as it meant I felt like less of a tourist in my own city! Generally the middle of Brick Lane is completely packed with people who do look like they are on holiday! Therefore being a little out of the centre was a nice novelty.
As we couldn't locate the restaurant immediately, we phoned them to try and get directions. The person on the phone was extremely helpful and patient as we stood lost outside telling him all the shops we could see around us. He stayed on the phone until we were pretty much on the doorstep of the Sheraz Bangla Lounge and waited for us outside. When we finally arrived, we were greeted by a friendly smile and shown to our table which had a 'reserved' sign on it.
After taking our seats, our waiter explained to us how the 5-course set menu worked and what we would be getting for our £9.95. The menu consisted of
1) Poppadom and Chutney
2) Starter
3) A choice of the non-vegetarian mains (lamb, chicken dishes etc)
4) A vegetarian main (aubergine, paneer, chickpea dishes etc)
5) Accompaniments (rice, a variety of breads)
Therefore the £9.95 was excluding any drinks ordered. I remember our bill at the end of the evening coming to approximately £32, therefore we paid around £11-12 for whatever we drank on the night (a couple of pints of Kingfisher beer, one non-alcoholic cocktail and mineral water).
Now on to the food itself: unfortunately for me, this is where the Sheraz Bangla Lounge let itself down. The poppadoms were great and were served with a selection of 4 different tasty chutneys. For my starter I selected onion bhajee served with a crispy salad. This was fairly tasty but I found the best part of it to be the salad if I am honest so that doesn't say much about the onion bhajee! For the mains, I actually chose 2 veggie dishes. One choice was mattar paneer (peas and Indian cottage cheese cooked in spicy gravy) and the second was chhole (spicy chickpeas). As an accompaniment I had plain naan bread and to drink I had a non-alcoholic cocktail.
The mattar paneer I found to be bland. The portions served were generous, but I found that I didn't want to eat very much because I found that the paneer lacked flavour. The food actually looked very nice, and I was excited upon seeing it. However, as someone that has grown up eating rich Indian food their entire life, it wasn't rich enough in flavour for me. Unfortunately I felt the same about the chhole dish too. It looked delicious when it was placed on the table. But upon eating it, I found that it just didn't taste as good as it looked. I don't know if this is because I am used to a certain type of Indian food or whether other customers at Sheraz feel the same way. The place was definitely quite full which indicated that their food cannot be all that unpopular.
My eating partner had chicken for his mains which I did not taste therefore I cannot comment directly on how good it was. But he did say that he shared a similar opinion to me - although the food looked, and even smelt quite good, it lacked flavour and thus was disappointing. Of his food that I did taste, I can say that the lemon rice was really nice (an accompaniment). He also had a chicken starter which he said didn't taste very flavoursome either.
When our plates were taken away, the waiter asked us how we had found the food. Because our plates still had lots of leftover food on it which we couldn't finish, I didn't feel comfortable about lying and telling him it had been great. So I tried to be honest and explain in the best way I knew how: that although the food looked delicious it didn't meet our expectations in terms of flavour and the level of spiciness. The waiter was actually very understanding and explained that they cater for a certain 'type' of customer who don't want their food to be too spicy, but if we were to ever visit the Sheraz again they would do their best to provide us with a meal that we'd find more to our taste. I thought this was a nice, accommodating response.
And so this brings me to service. In terms of the service received during our evening at the Sheraz, I cannot fault them. They were very polite, right from when we couldn't locate the restaurant through to discussing our dissatisfaction with the food. The waiters were very attentive throughout the meal and polite.
All in all I wish I could give a higher rating than I am, but because I did not enjoy the food, and it is a restaurant review after all, I have to give only 3 out of 5 stars. The service was brilliant, the décor was nice, the location was good, but the food for me, was a let down. However as other customers at the Sheraz Bangla Lounge seemed to be enjoying the food, I don't want to put anyone off from visiting, as I have quite a strong preference for spicy food, and therefore it may well be the case that I am in the minority in terms of how I found the food to be.
Thanks for reading.

The State Fire Marshal is still investigating a house fire in Worthington that occurred Wednesday, September 26, and rekindled and burned to the ground Thursday, September 27.
The fire is believed to be arson, according to Mackey Ayersman, Assistant State Fire Marshal.
After suspecting that an accelerant was used, Ayersman said samples of the flooring were taken to the State Police Forensic lab for hydrocarbon analysis.
--Original Story--
Fire damaged a house in Worthington Wednesday night and destroyed the house, when it rekindled Thursday afternoon.
The Worthington Fire Department said the house was abandoned and all utilities were turned off.
Shinnston, Worthington, Monongah, and Farmington Fire Departments all responded.
Worthington Fire Department said the fire was extinguished before it left.
Thursday, the fire rekindled and emergency personnel were called back to the scene to see the structure burning to the ground.
Neighbors said the house has been vacant for years and that the activity is suspicious.
The structure is total loss.
Worthington Fire Department officials said the cause of the fire is still unknown.
They are turning it over to the State Fire Marshal for investigation.

Placed LHP Francisco Liriano on the 15-day DL (arm fatigue); purchased the contract of RHP Philip Humber from Rochester (Triple-A); designated INF-R Matt Macri for assignment. [8/18]
It would be hard to describe Liriano's latest breakdown as a setback to the Twins' playoff hopes, already down to less than five percent and falling in the PECOTA-informed playoff odds report, and under 10 percent in the kinder vanilla version. A nice run in June followed by a quality start on the Fourth of July might have made it seem he'd turned the corner, but just two quality starts in his next six turns and 27 runs allowed in the 30
I'll leave it to Will Carroll to document the nature of the fatigue, and instead suggest that with Humber up and headed into the rotation after allowing 5.8 runs per nine for the Red Wings, and joining a unit that already has Anthony Swarzak struggling badly, it's time to accept the end is nigh in Minnesota. (And I mean, for more than the apostasy of potentially employing Achilles, false godling of the cheeseheads.) It's time to see if they can't re-flip Carl Pavano before the expense of employing the tacked-on placeholder adds up; they're going to wind up with Brian Duensing starting games for them no matter what they do anyway, so why not cut to that particular chase while seeing if anybody's starter-hungry enough to forgo exploring the zesty blend of mystery and unusual joys that come with employing what's left of John Smoltz or Vicente Padilla or Russ Ortiz?

Placed RF-S Justin Upton on the 15-day DL; purchased the contract of OF-L Trent Oeltjen from Reno (Triple-A). [8/6]
Optioned CF-R Chris Young to Reno; purchased the contract of INF-R Rusty Ryal from Reno; signed free agent RHP Daniel Cabrera. [8/10]
Placed LHP Scott Schoeneweis on the 15-day DL (depression); recalled LHP Dan Schlereth from Mobile (Double-A); released RHP Tom Gordon. [8/11]
There's so little joy to be found here; losing Upton's a matter of losing one of the half-dozen people left worth paying to see in a Snakes uni. Even the bittersweet liberation from watching Chris Young keep the infield alternately busy (catching popups, which Young delivers at an incredible rate) or air-conditioned (striking out a quarter of the time) might be relief of some sort, but that's inevitably attended by the devastating import of what it means if Young's not a building block. No Young would make for an outfield that has Gerardo Parra doing filler's work in center and Eric Byrnes do somewhat less than that in left (because that disaster contract still has another year to run, after all). It's a future where Stephen Drew's park-aided adequacy still masquerades as stardom. It's a franchise where organizational players like Oeltjen and Ryal and Ryan Roberts wash up and get to play.
It's not the end of the world, of course, just somewhat desolate, the sort of team that needs Brandon Webb back and being Brandon Webb again. It's a team that has to have Conor Jackson recover entirely from Valley fever, and not become the next sports great to join the NBA's Johnny Moore as someone who had his career's trajectory seriously altered by the infection; Moore came back, but he went from being one of the game's great point guards to just a guy. And it's a team that needs for Young to show a capacity to learn and adapt, instead of alternating whiffs and pops like he was some sort of Yalie.

Placed CF-L Nate McLouth on the 15-day DL (strained hamstring), retroactive to 8/16; purchased the contract of OF-R Reid Gorecki from Gwinnett (Triple-A). [8/17]
If you accept the PECOTA-driven proposition that the National League Wild Card will win 90 or 91 games, let's also accept for argument's sake that the Phillies, Cardinals, and Dodgers win their respective divisions. That puts the wild-card field at five: the Rockies (65 wins), Giants (64), Marlins (63), Braves (62), and Cubs (60). Anything that trips you up short of that 90-win mark strikes me as more than a little dangerous. As things stand now, the Braves would have to go 28-16. Now, in the happiest scenario possible, they're going to be without McLouth until early September, and beyond that, we still don't know what exactly will happen with Martin Prado. Re-adopting faith in Kelly Johnson and making Matt Diaz an everyday player doesn't sound like the best way to go 28-16 in your next 44 games; if anything, it sounds like a proposition that puts Jason Heyward on the spot to reprise Andruw Jones' '96 pennant-push debut, a decision fueled by need and not simply talent management.
The schedule's going to play a big part as far as defining the possibilities, and the immediate future's not all good on that score. The Braves do get the benefit of seeing the Mets three more times and the Nats twice; indeed, those two teams are four of the Braves' last six opponents. Unfortunately, things could get ugly beforehand, as they try to get past seeing the Marlins and Phillies in three of their next five series. You can place your faith in pitching, or in Adam LaRoche, or in the power of all that is mighty-Chipper Jones himself-but the next couple of weeks are going to be tough. While that downslope in the back half of September seems promising, I guess my thought is that if the Braves don't keep winning more than half their games in the next two weeks, they'll have set themselves up for having to match the Rockies' for stretch heroics of 2007, and easy schedule or not, that's a tall order for any team.

Optioned RHP Jhoulys Chacin to Colorado Springs (Triple-A); purchased the contract of RHP Adam Eaton from Colorado Springs; transferred LHP Alan Embree from the 15- to the 60-day DL. [8/12]
Aaron Cook's foot problem put Chacin on the spot and starting against the Pirates last week, and after dominating in a few relief stints, Chacin floundered, walking six of 14 batters before Jim Tracy hooked him. Rather than let the roster spot go slack, they sent Chacin back down. He has yet to pitch for the Sky Sox, but the plan has been to return him to a rotational role in the meantime; he'll be starting tonight's game at Triple-A. Consider this an interesting after-effect of the acquisitions of Rafael Betancourt and Joe Beimel to contribute to the Rockies' stretch drive. Given how good he looked in relief work, I wouldn't be surprised if he's back on the roster once rosters expand.
In the meantime, it's sort of amusing to see Eaton resurrected someplace else, but as a mop-up man and innings sponge who allows Tracy to hook a struggling starter early, he might have his uses. At Colorado Springs, he was moderately effective, allowing just 3.3 R/9, striking out just 5.6 while walking 1.6 per nine. They're getting good work after Josh Fogg already, after all, so never say never when it comes to finding relief from unexpected sources.

Placed 3B-R David Wright on the 15-day DL (PCS); purchased the contract of INF-R Andy Green from Buffalo (Triple-A). [8/17]
Placed MI-L Alex Cora on the 15-day DL (thumbs), retroactive to 8/13; purchased the contract of MI-R Wilson Valdez from Buffalo. [8/18]
So, two days, and you get to scratch off the left side of the infield? As bad as that sounds, things haven't really been that horrible for the Mets. Yes, losing Wright is sort of the coup de grace to a desperately awful season, but to give credit to those still active, they're getting better work than they might have reasonably expected from Jeff Francoeur, Angel Pagan, and Cory Sullivan in the outfield, Andy Hernandez has been getting aboard at a good clip since coming over from the Nats, and Luis Castillo, the last regular left at his position from the Opening Day lineup, is having a decent season at the plate. Starting Bobby Parnell has allowed them to avert the Nelson Figueroa menace, and they even got a quality start out of Oliver Perez this month.
And… well, OK, that's about as far as we can go with a Mary Sunshine act. Gary Sheffield hasn't homered since June. Danny Murphy and Fernando Tatis were supposed to be a nice left-field platoon; instead they're the comatose bat twins starting at the infield corners. It should be entirely unsuprising that the same judgment that said Brian Schneider was a must-have behind the plate subsequently decided that Omir Santos had to be his platoon partner. And, however much satisfaction they can take in Pagan or Sullivan, Triple-A thirtysomethings like Valdez and Green won't patch up an infield that's been shredded by injuries, they'll simply man it. As Will pointed out this morning, there's no need to hurry anybody back to participate in this meltdown; it isn't like there are merit badges that get handed out for association with it.

Designated RHP Logan Kensing for assignment; purchased the contract of UT-R Mike Morse from Syracuse (Triple-A). [8/17]
Since being picked up from the Mariners, Morse had mostly been playing at the infield corners for the Chiefs, a role I'd expect him to continue to fulfill for a Nats team taking its lumps with Adam Dunn at first base. You might wonder about his other applications, since he's played everywhere. After all, over at second Ronnie Belliard's playing out the string, and alternating with Alberto Gonzalez, who's still left over from Jim Bowden's mad dash to acquire everyone else's punchless middle infielders last summer. That said, I don't have any big expectations that you'll see Morse starting all around the diamond; Jim Riggleman already has Willie Harris around for such a purpose, and hasn't used wee Willie much since taking over the team. Instead, Riggs has gone with a relatively set lineup, so I'd expect Morse to be the right-handed foil to Harris' infrequent spot starting and more usual pinch-hitting assignments. If nothing else, having the pair of them does afford the skipper all sorts of possibilities for tactical cleverness late in games or in extra innings.

text: I just bought a white face Firebass 700 from the pawn for $220 OTD, based on great reviews. I already have a Peavey Tour 210, which works fine with a Crate Powerblock 150 (except that the Powerblock is ok for the price, but that's not the best sound). The 210 is an 8 ohm cab, the Firebass is suppose to cover 2, 4 and 8 ohms. But when I tried the head with that cab, it just did not work right. The cab was giving a lot of krrrrrkch! sounds and stuff came flying out of the port (no, not broken parts, more like dirt). Is it just that it's not the right combination or am I missing something here? Also I have no patch cords, I have to run to GC tomorrow, so what I was using was an instrument cord. Ok, maybe I need to read the manual, but if someone could tell me what I may doing wrong, I would appreciate. I have one week to return it for cash, so I am going to try and see what I can get out of it. Oh, and the light was turning from green to red each time I wanted to play loud.

A gripping behind-the-scenes drama of four women who face life and death every day.
On her first day at Pittsburgh's Angels of Mercy Medical Center, L.A. - transplant Lydia Fiore, the new ER attending physician, loses a patient: the Chief of Surgery's son. Now, to save her career, Lydia must discover the truth behind her patient's death, even as it leads her into unfamiliar - and risky - territory.
At least she's not alone. There's med student Amanda, a sweet Southern belle with problems of her own; Gina, a resident with a chip on her shoulder; and Nora, the no-nonsense charge nurse with a cool head but a fiery temper. Not to mention the paramedic who'd like to try out his bedside manner on Lydia.
©2008 CJ Lyons, LLC (P)2013 CJ Lyons, LLC
This is my first book by C. J. Lyons. The story is a medical thriller and it is apparently the first book in a series.
Lydia Fiores M.D. is a new ER attending physician at Pittsburg Angel of Mercy Medical Center a teaching facility. On her first day of work on a new job Fiore makes a miraculous life saving move on one case but on another case considered a routine mid-level emergency auto-accident patient she loses the patient. The problem is the patient is the son of the chief of surgery in the hospital. The autopsy suggests the man was murdered so Fiores begins her own investigation as another case occurs. The story is full of various characters as the teaching facility provides lots of interns, students, nurses etc. Lyons has a continuous pace of action in the emergency room going on as Fiores conducts her investigation. We have gangs, race violence, nut cases and at the end of the book riots. With so much action and suspense it will keep the reader reading to the end of the book.
The book is well written and very fast paced. There is lots of medical action but also intrigue, romance and other tangled relationships. The medical information and ER situations ring true as the author is a pediatric ER physician. I will probably read the next episode in the series as the book was hard to put down and made a great get away from it all book. Lauren Ross does a good job narrating the story. I did have a problem with the sound quality, it sounded as if the narrator was in a barrel or a large room.
The story was captivating from the very beginning. What I thought was going to be a medical drama turned out to be quite an adventure of a story. Can't wait to read more by this author.
"spellbinding "
Interesting from start to finish with intense drama throughout. Only issue was the narrators mispronounciation of medical terminology but it was mostly just in one section. it is a great book
"Enjoyable, but ..."
The characters were well defined and real. None of the stereotypical stuff we often see. Here white Lydia is from the streets and black Gina is from an upper middle class family with multiple opportunities. Both are believable characters.
The major drawback to this book was the author's use of a couple of illogical premises as the building blocks of the story. I had a difficult time overcoming the serious and obvious conflicts of interest involving Dr. Weiss and Dr. Stewart (I won't say more because I don't want to be a spoiler). The story would have worked better if these two characters had been dialed back from an attitude of irrational conviction to one of sincere and aggressive questioning of why things happened.
When I was able to overlook the drawbacks, the story was captivating and entertaining. It mostly moved quickly and the four different stories (from the five main characters) came together at the end in a logical way. Also many of the sub-characters were developed without going over the top. I particularly enjoyed Tre's family.
Orlagh Cassidy has the kind of strong voice and flow of presentation that Lauren Ross did not. Ross was too precise in some of her words. Unfortunately, she sounded like she was reading out loud rather than telling the story. She mispronounced many words (sometimes interrupting the flow of the story). But there were times when she overcame these problems and I became engrossed in the story, which is why she got 2 stars rather than 1 from me.
It has the kind of flash and bang that would make a decent movie
A couple of times, I wondered where the book editors heads were. For example, at one point, Lydia wadded up a paper and started to throw it away, thought better of it and then ripped it up. Not to minutes later, she took it out of the trash, smoothed it out, and read it again. Huh?
"Good first in a series"
I enjoyed the character development. This book is a medical drama, steamy romance and mystery all rolled into one. I look forward to more development in future offerings
"Great story - Mediocre performance"
Narration was poorly done and common words were mispronounced. This distracted my ability to relax and enjoy the story line.
"trauma drama"
great character development and fun plot twists... medical drama meets murder mystery with a small town feel.
"Fast paced Med-Thriller"
I liked this story. It was fast paced and at no point boring! I was hooked from the very first chapter describing the most dangerous day of the year in a hospital.
The characters each had their own storylines within the major story which made you care about them all, not just the hero/heroine.
The narrator did a very good job of keeping up with the exciting tempo of the story.
Will not read other books in series. Medical parts interesting, but pronunciation of medical language should have been researched better.
"Medical Terminology ;- ("
Reader needs to know how to pronounce medical terminology!
Would be nice if the reader knew how to pronounce medical terminology!

Could your database be impeding your time to market?
Posted: 14 January 2013 | Joe Morrissey – VP EMEA, 10gen, the MongoDB company | No comments yet
Dodd-Frank, with its very broad compliance implications, has forced all players in the financial services sector to take a very close look at their back-office systems. This has resulted in a shift towards the adoption of non-relational databases. In this blog Joe Morrissey of 10gen takes a look at the benefits of next generation (NoSQL) databases…
Joe Morrissey, VP EMEA, 10gen, the MongoDB company
The overhaul of the US regulatory system with the Dodd-Frank Reform Act rippled across global financial markets. At the heart of this reform lay the comprehensive regulation designed to increase the transparency of financial transactions in an attempt to help avoid a similar crisis in the future. The act and its requirement for compliance has forced the financial services sector to take a much closer look at their back-office systems due to the increased data volumes that are a consequence of the act.
Traditionally, investment banks – as all other organisations large and small – have relied on relational databases, with their rigid and tabular structures to store data. However, it is now becoming clear that these relational data stores are finding it difficult to cope with the enormous increase in data volumes and throughput that are now commonplace. Scaling relational databases is often prohibitively expensive due to the nature of their design.
This has led to many financial services firms reconsidering their default position of a relational model for their database architecture. Instead they are seeking alternatives that not only provide the performance and scalability at lower cost, but also introduce other benefits such as flexibility and agility.
In financial services today we are seeing a massive shift towards non-relational databases. Next generation (often referred to as NoSQL) databases are now moving into production environments in some of the world's largest investment banks to solve some of the shortcomings that IT staff are experiencing with their current relational database installations.
NoSQL databases offer massive scale-out capability
NoSQL databases are designed from the outset to offer massive scale-out capability on commodity and virtualised platforms. This is distinct from how relational databases are usually scaled through the utilisation of increasingly large and expensive servers. The vertical method of scaling has always been much more expensive than horizontal scaling on low cost servers. This also has the advantage of starting small and then adding more servers as data volumes and throughput increase, thus controlling capital expenditure.
Additionally, the dynamic nature of a next generation database schema means that it's able to cope much more effectively with the varied and constantly changing nature of data that financial services organisations now process and store on a daily basis.
For instance, back office risk departments looking to create a single view of counterparty exposure across the bank can more easily consolidate varying risk metric feeds from front office systems into a 'schema-less' database for further processing. In the relational world this would mean painstakingly creating a rigid schema to store the data ahead of time, and then changing it again every time a format changes. The dynamic nature of the schema within a NoSQL database, like MongoDB, means that the data can be stored without change to the database.
This notion has been used effectively in many other buy-side and sell-side use cases, from the global implementation of reference data systems where information of complex financial products can be represented simply and easily through to the ingesting of high volume FIX messages.
With a dynamic schema, new financial products can be stored and represented in the database without having to restructure many tabular structures in a relational database. Thus non-relational databases enable faster and more agile development, that can bring products to market faster.
In the months and years to come, the pace of the financial industry is going to speed up, competition is going to get fiercer and legislation is going to become more stringent. To deal with this, financial organisations will have to be able to operate in a fast, scalable computer environment without massive expense.
While NoSQL databases may not be the answer to every scenario or application, they do have a lot to offer in terms of meeting the challenges that financial services organisations are facing both now and in the future.
