Observations from the first game of spring training and how nice it is to talk about on the field issues:
The best part of the game for me were the pitchers who worked yesterday. Collectively, the six pitchers used struck out 9 and walked 3. Of the three walks Jenry Meija walked 1 and Manny Acosta walked 2. In fact , Acosta was the only pitcher used who had trouble throwing strikes (8/7 BB/K)
Meija was not only effective with his breaking ball but he looked happy and relaxed. It's just one appearance and maybe it's just my giddiness over seeing baseball for the first time this year but my fear that the past administration may have ruined Mejia has been somewhat relieved.
I had and still have no idea who John Lujan is.
Fernando Martinez had a throwing error and ran into a railing in foul territory chasing a fly ball and looked like he banged his knee and was limping a bit. All I could think of is, will he ever make it in the big leagues and if in order to keep Pedro Beato or Brad Emaus in the organization is via trade then hopefully the Orioles or Blue Jays would take F-Mart. Then Martinez goes and cracks a two run home run to tie the game with the replay showing just a beautiful swing and I totally change my mind about him. This is what is so frustrating about F-Mart. I hope this kid stays healthy all year and gets 450-500 AB's in Buffalo so we can finally find out if he's worth keeping or if he becomes a very valuable trading chip.
It's spring training for the Mets announcers as well. It was wonderful to turn on the TV at 1PM yesterday and see Gary Cohen, Ron Darling, Keith Hernandez and "SNY Celeb" Kevin Burkhardt but Cohen made the first faux pau of the season as he referred to Sandy Alderson as "Sandy Martinez" . Hernandez picked up where he left off last season with his marvelous comments, yesterday's Mex-isim was calling Braves catcher Brian McCann "portly. Can't wait until he gets a gander at Bartolo Colon.
Mets Twitterverse lit up when Willie Harris belted a 2 run HR to tie the game in the bottom of the 10th inning but the most impressive part of Harris day was when in the middle of being interviewed by Kevin Burkhardt , Harris just stopped as F-Mart hit his home run and started cheering and then went to congratulated him then he went back to the interview.
Nick Evans is not going down without a fight.
Scott Hairston is going to be a guy we talk about this season in a very positive way. Harriston is going to win a few game for the Mets this year. Hairston has pop in his bat and will be a very useful 4th outfielder.
I've been killing Evan Roberts of WFAN all week for his non-stop NJ Nets talk and going ga-ga over the Deron Williams deal (I would say the NJ Nets have the smallest fan base of any team in the NY metro area. The NY Red Bulls of the MLS have a bigger fan base than the Nets) but today I have to give him mad props for his interview with Sandy Alderson yesterday.
It was good to see Jason Bay get a base hit in his second and last at bat as he looked awful on his time up in the first inning. After the game he did say he felt rusty but he feels great.
Let's hope like last year with the Dickey jokes that Mets fans get the Hu Who? Jokes out of their system by the end of spring training. Chen lu Hu looks like the best defensive player on the team. No joke.

God forbid the album has a clear production...
Album Rating: 4.0Yeah, their fans hate clear production. It's like they want them to record their new music on shitty 90's recorders.
Album Rating: 4.0I agree. The songs have more airy, open space to them.
Has anybody made a Pinnacle of Boredom pun yet? If not, dibs
Album Rating: 4.0*crickets*
this is pretty good
Album Rating: 4.0Pretty solid album, and for me their best since the mid-90's.
Digging: Aosoth - V: The Inside Scriptures
Is this worth checking out. They're one of the few death metal bands I really dig but I haven't had time to check it out yet-been so bogged down with work. Is it any good?
Album Rating: 3.0"Has anybody made a Pinnacle of Boredom pun yet? If not, dibs"
I think Wizard already said it
and wow that avatar lmao
My avatar?
I expected more from suffocation tbh
So its not worth getting or downloading?
In fact to put it simply how does it compare to their first three works?
If you like Suffocation you should give it a chance, but don't expect too much.
Album Rating: 3.0"in fact to put it simply how does it compare to their first three works?"
this isnt shit compared to their first three. hell, all their other post-reunion albums are better than this.
Digging: Palehorse/Palerider - Burial Songs
Fair enough. I don't like anything after Pierced From Within but those first three albums are enough for me to consider them one of my favorite bands, even though I don't actually like death metal, i prefer black. Breeding The Spawn might be excluded though arguably because the production was terrible.

Empirical Testing of the Infinite Source Poisson Data Traffic Model
The infinite source Poisson model is a fluid queue approximation of network data transmission that assumes that sources begin constant rate transmissions of data at Poisson time points for random lengths of time. This model has been a popular one as analysts attempt to provide explantations for observed features in telecommunications data such as self-similarity, long range dependence and heavy tails. We survey some features of this model in cases where transmission length distributions have (a) tails so heavy that means are infinite, (b) heavy tails with finite mean and infinite variance and (c) finite variance.

Kobe Bryant was hit with a pretty big fine, by the NBA today . The NBA Fined Kobe for some comments he made to a ref after he was hit with a technical foul.
After being hit with a T in the game against the Spurs, Kobe made a homophobic slur toward the referee. Now that Kobe has made these comments I guess GLAAD will be coming after him in 3,2,1..

I lost my phone recently and was not due for an upgrade with my provider for another 6 months. I was therefore looking for a cheap phone that looks good with basic funtionality. When I saw this phone for under £30.00 in tesco I thought it would be ideal. Unfortunately not. I hate it!. This phone feels cheap and plastic. Sending a text message is a nightmare. The buttons are close too close together and often when texting you cannot help but make mistakes which is annoying and frustrating. I no cant be bothered texting as it is too much effort. Making a call isnt much easier either. THere seems to be no logical way to access your contacts and the answer phone button is so small i have often pressed the wrong one and cut people off.
The radio function seems pointless and when trying the speaker phone the speaker is crackly and frustrating.
The phone I lost was a sony Erricson and I loved it. This was the reason why I bought another sony erricson model. Dont be fooled - this phone is nothing like a good sony erricson phone. There must be better options than this.
Having the latest mobile phone isn't a priority for me, so when I had my phone stolen in October I was on the lookout for a cheap Pay-As-You-Go handset and came across the Sony Ericsson R300 on the Tesco Direct website. I liked the look of it and it had all of the features that I needed, so I went ahead and ordered it.
When it arrived I opened the box to find the handset & SIM card, instruction manual, quick start guide, handsfree kit, battery and charger. It was simple enough to set up and didn't take long to charge. I was able to investigate the phone whilst the battery was charging and soon got to grips with the features on the handset.
As the phone only cost in the region of £25.00, I was extremely impressed with the R300. It has all of the basic functions that you need - it obviously makes and receives calls and sends and receives text messages, which is mainly what I use it for, but it also has a couple of very addictive games, an okay-ish camera, FM/AM radio function, bluetooth, Triband (but not Quadband), calendar, stopwatch, alarm clock, timer, calculator and internet browser. Okay, so the camera doesn't have a flash and is only low resolution (0.3MP) and no the phone doesn't have an MP3 player integrated in it, but what do you expect from a low budget handset? The features are completely adequate for me personally and I wouldn't need anything else from a phone. According to the Sony Ericsson website, this phone weighs 75 grams and the battery life should give you in the region of 9 hours worth of talk time and up to 400 hours of standby time.
As with the majority of phones on the market nowadays, the phone's ringtone, message tone, wallpaper and screensaver can all be customised to make it more to your personal taste. There are a small number of ringtones to choose from in MP3 or MIDI format and you can also record your own message alert using the sound recorder feature. Wallpaper can be selected from a selection of pre-loaded pictures or you can choose a favourite picture from photos that you have taken. There is also a silent option and the phone also has a vibrate facility.
The phone is very user friendly and easy to use. All of the controls and options are found in logical places under clear menus including 'Messaging', 'Calls' and 'Settings' to name a few. It is easy to make a call and there are a number of shortcuts that help you get to the right section quickly. Text messaging is simple and you have the option to use either the multi-tap method or predictive text if you prefer.
If you are looking for an easy to use, inexpensive phone which has basic features, then I would recommend the Sony Ericsson R300. You can purchase the phone from Tesco.com for £29.12 on the Tesco Mobile network (price correct at 14/02/09).

The Houston Press did well for itself in the Press Club of Houston's most recent round of awards. Those awards recognize excellence in journalism published in 1997; and the Press competes in the "newspapers over 100,000" division, where its chief rival is the Houston Chronicle.
The Press's Randall Patterson won first place in the sports-story category for "The Legend," his profile of Dwayne Rogers, an amateur player who embarrasses pros on the court. Patterson also won third place for best feature story, and placed third in the race for print journalist of the year.
Jim Simmon won first place for commentary or criticism. His "Show 'Em Your Money" picked apart the campaign-finance statement of mayoral hopeful Rob Mosbacher, blasting the idea that big money doesn't yield big influence.
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.

Lisa Gray's feature story "School of Hard Knocks" won first place in its category. Gray wrote about the spanking controversy surrounding Alvin "Boom Boom" Jackson, head of the private Classical School for Brilliant Children.
For investigative reporting, Michael Berryhill won third place for "What Really Happened to Rodney Hulin?" In that story, Berryhill examined the 17-year-old's suicide, and the Texas prison system's contribution to it.
Chronicle foreign-affairs reporter Dudley Althaus was named "Print Journalist of the Year," breaking the Press's two-year winning streak. The Press's Steve McVicker placed second; he consoles himself with the thought that he's the best print journalist reporting on Houston.
In another competition, cartoonist Tom Tomorrow -- whose "This Modern World" appears in the Press -- was recently named a winner of the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award. That award honors outstanding reporting on the problems of the disadvantaged.

LSI Enhances MegaRAID SAS/SATA AdaptersMultipathing and load balancing providing up to 40% performance for large-block sequential reads
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on 2008.12.10
LSI Corporation announced MegaRAID(R) Release 3.5, which offers significant new performance, reliability and usability features for the MegaRAID SAS 8700 and 8800 families of 3Gb/s SAS/SATA adapters. The software upgrade includes multipathing and load balancing capabilities designed to reduce system downtime and deliver as much as a 40 percent increase in large-block sequential read performance.
MegaRAID Release 3.5 is the latest release in a new software upgrade program which provides enhanced features and functionality to existing MegaRAID SAS/SATA adapters. The upgrade program is designed to conveniently bundle key enhancements in four areas: data protection and availability; performance; features and usability; and green computing.
"MegaRAID Release 3.5 software provides current customers with a robust and user-friendly upgrade package which can be quickly and easily downloaded via the Web," said Kelly Bryant, DAS RAID business line director, Engenio Storage Group, LSI. "This new feature set, combined with our proven direct- attached storage solutions, reinforces LSI's position as the leader in providing host-based RAID solutions to the world's largest server vendors and distributors."
To increase data protection and reduce system failures, MegaRAID Release 3.5 software now offers single controller multipathing. If an I/O link to a dual-port drive should become unavailable due to issues such as faulty or disconnected cables, the MegaRAID adapter can seamlessly continue to access the drive via an alternate path, helping eliminate downtime caused by a single failed I/O link.
MegaRAID Release 3.5 also provides customers with load balancing, a powerful feature for improving application performance. Working in tandem with multipathing, load balancing efficiently distributes read/write requests to available paths. This function maximizes throughput between the MegaRAID adapter and the hard drive, removing bottlenecks while providing up to a 40 percent increase in large-block sequential read performance. The feature is ideal for improving I/O performance for virtual tape library, data backup and media streaming applications.
Additionally, Release 3.5 includes usability features that reduce the time required for installation, setup and maintenance. Customers can now utilize a revertible hot spare feature to automatically restore a hot spare and logical drive to their original configuration. This function allows administrators who prefer to keep a hot spare in a specific slot within the enclosure to easily return to the preferred configuration without a manual rebuild. The revertible hot spare feature reduces or eliminates any administrator maintenance beyond replacement of the failed hard drive.
Bandwidth-intensive applications, including databases and Microsoft Exchange, that require the redundancy of RAID 1 and the performance of RAID 10 can now benefit from much larger disk configurations supported in MegaRAID Release 3.5. New enhancements allow up to 32 drives per RAID 1 volume, and up to 256 drives for RAID 10, improving overall system capacity and storage performance.
Based on the high-performance LSI SAS1078 RAID-on-Chip technology, the MegaRAID adapters also provide green computing benefits with up to 25 percent savings in power consumption compared to previous generation adapters.
New and existing customers of MegaRAID SAS 8700 and 8800 family adapters can download the software upgrades for free via the LSI website.

When I first put this on my salad, even if a lot poured out, I could barely taste anything. This is the most subtle/ mildest tasting olive oil I have ever tried, it is difficult to taste. Also, the nozzle pours out a lot so that is a bit inefficient.

Knowing that opinions seem to be heavily stacked against my interpretation, nevertheless I'd like to try one more attempt at persuasion. The Haskell Report's definition of `seq` does _not_ imply an order of evaluation. Rather, it is a strictness annotation. (Whether this is the right thing to do is another cause of dissent, but let's accept the Report as is for now.) So `seq` merely gives a hint to the compiler that the value of its first argument must be established to be non-bottom, by the time that its second argument is examined by the calling context. The compiler is free to implement that guarantee in any way it pleases. So just as, in the expression x `seq` x one can immediately see that, if the second x is demanded, then the first one is also demanded, thus the `seq` can be elided - it is semantically identical to simply x Now, in the definition x = x `seq` foo one can also make the argument that, if the value of x (on the lhs of the defn) is demanded, then of course the x on the rhs of the defn is also demanded. There is no need for the `seq` here either. Semantically, the definition is equivalent to x = foo I am arguing that, as a general rule, eliding the `seq` in such a case is an entirely valid and correct transformation. The objection to this point of view is that if you have a definition x = x `seq` foo then, operationally, you have a loop, because to evaluate x, one must first evaluate x before evaluating foo. But as I said at the beginning, `seq` does _not_ imply order of evaluation, so the objection is not well-founded. Regards, Malcolm

Boston students, parents sound off over expired food
Many concerned with nutritional value and quality
Parents and students got their chance to speak out last night on the recent revelations about expired food appearing in Boston public schools.
About 50 people attended Councilor at Large John R. Connolly's second hearing on the subject of outdated food in the schools, held at The Roxbury Center for Arts at Hibernian Hall. The groups were nearly unanimous in voicing their concerns over the quality and nutritional value of food being served. They were also upset about the possibility of food being past its "best by'' dates.
"They come home complaining,'' Danielle Hedgepath said of her five children, who attend elementary, middle, and high schools.
Hedgepath said that even with all the recent attention to food in schools, one of her children said they were served a moldy muffin on Monday.
The School Department has acknowledged that food has been kept well past expiration dates, elevating concerns over safety, along with the nutritional value, for thousands of local children. Earlier this month, Connolly made surprise inspections of four school kitchens and found food dating back more than one year.
Superintendent Carol R. Johnson circulated a letter to parents Wednesday reiterating that food is safe in the schools, after one cafeteria manager reported a 25 percent drop in students showing up for free breakfast.
"One student refused to eat lunch because she heard it might be dangerous,'' the letter said. "I am writing to personally assure you that the food we serve to your children is safe and healthy.''
For Hedgepath and others, last night was an opportunity for the public to enter the debate between a crusading Connolly and school officials, who have been forced to defend their food service.
Hedgepath said her children "have opted to stop eating the food that is served, and now the concentration is on hunger, as opposed to the MCAS testing, which was this week, as well.''
Connolly encouraged parents to speak openly about the food their children were consuming at school.
"We cannot find real solutions if we are not listening to students and parents,'' Connolly said, "real, long-term solutions to ensure that our children are receiving healthy and nutritious meals at every school.''
School officials have pointed to a memo from the US Department of Agriculture that described expiration and use-by dates as recommendations, not requirements.
Johnson said Wednesday at a School Committee meeting that schools were not serving any food that officials "wouldn't serve to our own families.'' Johnson also said the expired food in question has not been served to students.
But the councilors and school officials, including much of the School Committee, saw a different perspective last night.
"I personally find something in my freezer past the expiration date, regardless of the USDA's guidelines, I toss it, and I expect no less from Boston public schools,'' Hedgepath said.
But beyond the obvious disapproval of expired food, some students used the hearing as an opportunity to put the spotlight on the general issue of nutrition in the schools, including the lack of fruits and vegetables.
Eshe Shirley — who helps run an environmental club at Boston Latin School, where she is a junior — said the club raised a popular vegetable garden to teach students the importance of eating local produce.
Shirley said students would eat healthy foods if they were an option.
"I wanted to suggest that the conversation not stop at how old food is,'' she said. "This moment provides a valuable opportunity to expand the food conversation. Breakfasts and lunches can change a kid's life.
"Type 2 diabetes is on the rise. Obesity is on the rise, and lots of kids in the Boston public schools get their meals from the schools. Clearly something needs to be done.''
That seemed to resonate with the politicians, including one newcomer.
"I was very impressed by her and I totally agree,'' said Tito Jackson, who attended the hearing last night and will be sworn in Saturday as the new District 7 city councilor.
"The highest quality food will help students have the energy that they need to be successful.''

Están muy ricos, es mi marca de cereales "de caja" favoritos. ¡Pero ojito! Los cereales de este tipo no están libres de azúcares añadidos (aunque no sean refinados, son azúcares) por lo que hay que considerarlos alimentos de consumo ocasional, ahí lo dejo! ;) Ya sabéis, los chupicrispis por sanos que sean no deben desplazar a otros alimentos realmente importantes como fruta, verdura, frutos secos y otros. ¡Pero un caprichillo de vez en cuando todo humano puede permitirse!

Who Really Leads Development?
"Leadership" is not a common topic for research in international development. In recent years, however, prominent studies like the 2008 Growth Commission Report noted the importance of leadership in development. This and other studies focused on individual leaders--or heroes--when referencing what leaders did to foster development. The current article asks if heroes really lead development. It deconstructs the implied theory behind a 'hero orthodoxy' into four hypotheses; about how change happens in development, who leads it, how it emerges, and how it is bought to completion. Through a qualitative study of twelve interventions in contexts like Afghanistan, Sierra Leone and Kosovo, the article shows that these hypotheses are too simple to really help explain who leads development. It appears that change is complex and requires complex multi-agent leadership interventions.

Teen club would be a good addition
To the editor,
I have a copy of a Minneapolis Star Tribune article on dance clubs which the Rosemount City Council has referred to as having to do with the proposed Solaris Dance and Nightclub. This article is about kids 18 and older mingling with 21 and older patrons. Therefore, the problems cited by this article have absolutely nothing to do with the Solaris Nightclub under consideration due to the fact the 16- to 20-year-olds will have no legal age drinkers to mingle with.
At a recent Rosemount City Council meeting, it was brought up that Minneapolis may be looking at language to regulate dance clubs. Once again, that worry is only in regard to dance clubs that include both minors and legal-age drinkers present at the same time. And, what was one of the ideas for accomplishing this new language in the big cities? And I quote: "Clubs might be asked to completely separate their underage clientele from their 21-plus crowd."
Yes, this is the language that Skylar Rekstad already set forth in his business plan, stating clearly that Solaris is for only 16- to 20-year-olds. Skylar's business plan already had that solution in place. Minneapolis requiring licensing for establishments catering to both 18 and over-21 year old patrons is obviously not helping them one bit to handle their problem. That is, licensing is not a solution.
The key is to separate the two groups.
The city of Rosemount is trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist. Restrictions that city planner Eric Zweber pushed for are only so they can shut this business down. The ordinance and licensure, with its exorbitant multiple fees, will put undue hardship on any hospitality business that might want to come to Rosemount. Why would any business owner invest large amounts of time and money in a business if they knew from the beginning an ordinance was in place just so the city could shut it down?
Solaris would have been the only 16-20 dance club in all of Minnesota. This is what the big city of Minneapolis wished they had. We could have had it first. Skylar would be better off taking his unique business to another city. A city that appreciates what he is doing for teens.
I personally hold the Rosemount City Council accountable for the loss of this business.
Skylar was already set to go. City council, you voted not to let him.

Product Description
Rowan Cassidy spends her time enjoying the unfettered pleasures of being a mistress in her element. With a position at Club Privé, the most exclusive BDSM club on the West Coast, all of her desires are catered for... until she meets Christian Thorne.
Her attraction to Christian is instant, but how can a dominant and a dominant ever work together? As Rowan's attraction deepens, she begins to question her dominant status and what she needs to fullfil her needs, both sexually and in a partner.
Christian's requited longing for Rowan leads him to offer her a unique kind of dating prospect. For thirty days she will give herself over to him completely, stepping into a submissive's shoes for the first time and beginning the exploration of her sexuality from a whole new perspective.
What unravels is an emotional rollercoaster of questions, passion, lust and self-discovery in this irresistible addition of erotica to the Black Lace collection.

How can something so dark feel so right?
Reviewed: 07 November 2012 by HappilyExperimenting, a Straight Going Steady Female
I am not part of the BDSM community and do not own a flogger or any other type of bondage toy. The furthest I have ever ventured into this area of sex is to receive some satin wrist restraints which I have little use for, being single. So imagine my surprise when I picked up this beautifully well-written book which made my heart race and knees weaken!
We are introduced to Rowan, a sexy, confident dominant who is a firm favourite at Club Privé - the most exclusive BDSM club on the West Coast. She is a superb mistress but is coming to a crossroads in her life. She feels at a loss despite having the world (and most boys) at her feet - literally! - and although she is a great mistress and is lusted after by many submissives, she cannot let go of her past to find peace for herself.
I empathised with Rowan from the word 'go' - we are not told much about her physical appearance until she meets Christian and then we see her through his eyes. She focuses more on the other members of the Club instead of allowing herself to appreciate her beauty and clearly has underlying confidence issues like any new dominant woman pursuing a new path in BDSM. But wait, I hear you say - Rowan isn't new to BDSM, she's been in the scene for years! And you are quite right dear readers, but from reading the first few pages we can tell something happened to Rowan a while back, severely damaging her self-esteem and causing her to doubt herself. Rowan is a real character, that girl we see at the back of the lecture hall all alone, or that girl who always jogs up the main road at 6pm. We can imagine her in our heads and weave her into our own person - she could be a size twenty-two or a size eight and we could decide that.
The same goes for Christian. True, he is a little like Christian Grey, being cliché and offering Rowan oysters (does an aphrodisiac have to look like a bunch of slugs!?) but we understand his reasons for his actions and gain thoughtful insight into his mind. Maybe he is a little too perfect, being so rich and gorgeous, but look at Ben Barnes! (That is who I imagined him to look like.) Christian calls Rowan when she flees from his apartment to make sure she is okay and then when he finds out she is all right he calls her back the next day to punish her for running from him. Sound familiar?
This book is NOT Fifty Shades - it is well written, with an interesting plot and leaves you guessing what's going to happen next. A variety of BDSM practices are explained to the reader (ever heard of a vampire glove?) and Rowan's secret at the end only confirms our suspicious but is still fun to read. The sub-plot between a young lady called April and another dominant leaves us wanting both females to get what they want and I for one was not disappointed. I love this book and have displayed it on my bookshelf with pride. It explains how sub/dom relationships work extremely well and I enjoyed the read whilst learning new things to try out should I ever get a partner. Go buy it!
- Pros
- The compelling plot, which I lapped up greedily until the delicious last sentence.
- Cons
- Remove the purple spot on the front cover to make it more discreet please!
- Bottom line
- A great read, with in-depth characters and realistic sexual encounters!

Reviewed: 25 September 2013 by MissChar
I really loved this book. For me it was just the right combination of kink and romance, plot and sex scenes to get me going and keep me turning the pages.
Move over Christian Grey, The Dark Garden brings a new Christian into town. Although the plot is not dissimilar to the 50 Shades series, I absolutely despised those and adore this! It's far less cringe worthy which I'm sure many people will appreciate, and it is a LOT hotter!
I actually liked the characters, and I loved that more than one character and relationship was followed. This really kept things interesting, and enabled there to be more juicy bits, which is an obvious bonus.
I recommend this book if you're looking for something a little racier than bog standard erotica, but it's not completely filthy so don't be afraid to dive into it!
- Pros
- Romance and kink were nicely balanced, lots of sex!
- Cons
- Predictable.
- Bottom line
- I really enjoyed it.

I'm new to reading BDSM books, this is only my second. And I have to say this book didn't really do it for me.
That is not to say it's a bad book though. I think it's a very good book aimed at the right person. The writing is good and the characters are well rounded.
I would recommend it to any BDSM fan.

Manjaro Smooths Out Arch's Rough Edges
The difficulties I encountered installing and running Manjaro would normally have pushed me to part company with this distro -- I must assume that the rather rapid development cycles and the number of different desktop environments in the fray caused some quality control issues. To my pleasure, however, all of the editions that ran on my laptops found the wireless connection without any trouble.

The Little Caesar's Pizza Bowl is a long way from the BCS national championship game.
Ohio coach Frank Solich isn't letting that change the way he's preparing his Bobcats for Saturday's game against Marshall.
"The buildup is the same - we're just in a strange city on Christmas Day instead of New Year's Eve," he said. "That doesn't change how much the kids enjoy the experience."
A decade ago, Solich was coaching in BCS games at Nebraska, including the 2001 title game against Miami. The Cornhuskers lost that game 37-14 to a Hurricanes team featuring Andre Johnson and Jeremy Shockey, and Solich was fired two seasons later.
After taking a year off, Solich started again at the opposite end of the spectrum. When he took over at Ohio, the team hadn't played in the postseason since a loss to Richmond in the 1968 Tangerine Bowl, and no coach had left the school with a winning record in almost 30 years.
Solich's first season ended with a 4-7 record but included a win over Pittsburgh in his home debut, and the Bobcats reached the Mid-American Conference championship game and the GMAC Bowl in 2006.
"This was a completely different situation that I had in Nebraska," Solich said. "There, I took over a program that was expected to contend for the national championship every season. At Ohio, we were trying to build a program that had no expectations and where we had to win back the fan base."
While Solich hasn't led Ohio to a conference championship yet - they lost the MAC championship game in 2006 and fell 20-10 to Central Michigan this season - he knows he's making progress.
"I think things are going well," he said. "Hopefully, we'll have better success at Ford Field this time after losing the two championship games here."
Solich puts much of Ohio's improvement down to a more physical style - something he thinks has come from picking the right players, not from coaching.
"You build physical teams by recruiting them," he said. "That's not something you can develop at this level. You can teach technique to help them use their physical nature, but it's mainly an instinct that you either have or you don't."
Still, Solich's success at Nebraska has helped him get players that would have never considered Ohio in the past.
"For me, it was an easy decision to go to Ohio, because I knew I'd be getting coached by one of the best coaches in the country," said star wide receiver Taylor Price. "This was a coach that has been in big games with big-time programs and big-time players."
Solich's past and his current resume make him an obvious choice to be the next coach to leave the MAC for bigger things. Brian Kelly has gone from Central Michigan to Cincinnati to Notre Dame, Butch Jones has followed Kelly from CMU to Cincinnati, while Turner Gill went from Buffalo to Kansas.
Solich, though, is happy to stay in Athens for the next few years.
"We're not done building this program," said Solich, who is under contract through 2013. "We've made steps in the right direction, but we need to get to this level on a consistent basis."

There is a premium on those last 250GB
Subject: Storage | August 14, 2007 - 12:14 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
The Tech Report is rather impressed by their receiving an actual SATA terabyte drive, Hitachi's Deskstar 7K1000. In terms of size, it is unique, unfortunately it's performance is not. While it can out perform drives that have been on the market for a year or more, it has difficulty with the new generation of 750 GB drives that the competition offers. There is also the fact that that extra 250GB costs you about $150, but if you need 1000GB of storage on a single SATA drive, there is no other way to go.
If you need portable storage of the indestructible or extra secure kind, then Ryan's review of a pair of Corsair USB drives will be right up your alley.
"IMAGINE ONE THOUSAND thousand thousand thousand bytes. A terabyte, if you will. But more than just that—a milestone
in storage capacity that hard drive manufacturers have been chasing for years. After more than a decade of living in
a world of gigabytes, the bar has finally been raised by Hitachi's terabyte-capacity Deskstar 7K1000.
Being first to the terabyte mark gives Hitachi bragging rights, and more importantly, the ability to offer
single-drive storage capacity 33% greater than that of its competitors. Hitachi isn't banking on capacity alone,
though. The 7K1000 is also outfitted with a whopping 32MB of cache—double what you get with other 3.5" hard drives.
Couple that extra cache with 200GB platters that have the highest areal density of any drive on the market, and the
7K1000's performance could impress as much as its capacity.
Has Hitachi achieved a perfect balance of speed and storage with its Deskstar 7K1000? We've tested it against nearly
20 competitors—including its closest 750GB rivals from Seagate and Western Digital—to find out."

Find the last digit of (a). 13^121, (b). 8^99, (c). 777^777
I know there's something I do to write these as smaller numbers, but am unsure on how to do this.
You are correct that . On the other hand, since for all integer by Fermat's little theorem, we have . Now you probably plan to use the Chinese remainder theorem, which says that all solutions to the system of equations , are congruent modulo . Since 2 and are solutions, .8^99
=0 mod2
3^99 mod 5
3^4 mod 5
=1 mod 5
One benefit of this approach is that use can use Fermat's little theorem. In contrast, for all n > 0. However, modulo 10 forms a periodic sequence 8, 4, 2, 6, 8, 4, ... with period 4, as has been said above (and to which you have not responded). Since , we conclude that is the 3rd element of the four-element period, i.e., 2. Formally, .

Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Oregon
My mom passed away and in her will it states that her bf gets 100% of the residence and a watch, but that any and all remainder or residue of her estate is to go to my wife and I. Who gets her car and any money that she had in her bank accounts?
Asked on 5/04/10, 3:18 pm
1 Answer from Attorneys
Susan Burns Law Office of Susan Ford Burns
The "residue" of an estate is anything left that is not specifically gifted. This means that you and your wife would get your mother's bank accounts, stocks, her car, etc. If she co-owned any of these things with her boyfriend, he would get those things too (like a joint bank account) because the co-ownership usually has a survivorship right (meaning that the survivor gets it).

Martin St. Louis wants to be around when the Tampa Bay Lightning are a contender again.
The veteran forward signed a $22.5-million, four-year extension on Thursday, putting him under contract with the Lightning through the 2014-15 season. The 35-year-old could have been an unrestricted free agent next summer but chose instead to commit to the organization with whom he's spent the majority of his career.
Interestingly, it's a decision he might not have made had Steve Yzerman not been brought on as general manager in May.
"I've seen both sides of the mountain in Tampa - I've seen the good days and the bad days," St. Louis said on a conference call. "My family loves it in Tampa but I needed something that showed me that we're going to win here now. ...
"I think at the time when they hired Yzerman, I just felt like 'you know what, this is the guy.' This couldn't have been a better hiring."
The Lightning have missed the playoffs the last three seasons while experiencing a tremendous amount of overhaul at all levels of the organization - everyone from owners to executives to coaches and players.
"It's been a revolving door," said St. Louis.
The pint-sized forward has been one of the constants. Unable to get his career off the ground in Calgary, St. Louis signed with the Lightning in 2000 and developed into a Hart Trophy winner, league scoring champion and Stanley Cup winner.
He is currently coming off one of the best seasons of his career - winning the Lady Byng Trophy as the league's most gentlemanly player and finishing with 29 goals and 94 points.
"Today is a great day for the Lightning organization," Yzerman said in a statement. "Marty means so much to this franchise, both on and off the ice. His hard work and dedication are unsurpassed and we are thrilled that he will finish his career here in Tampa Bay."
Among the things that have been discussed since Yzerman took the job was his decision to leave St. Louis off the 2010 Canadian Olympic team. There are no lingering bad feelings.
"Yeah, yeah, we had a talk," said St. Louis. "Everything's good."
One of the reasons St. Louis wanted to sign a long-term extension in Tampa is so that he can be around to watch Steven Stamkos and the team's other young players develop.
He feels like things are heading in the right direction.
"I know that I'm going to have a chance at winning again," said St. Louis. "I'm telling you, we're going to do everything we can to get in the playoffs this year. And we should get in."
For a guy that has endured a tremendous amount of turmoil in recent years, that would feel pretty sweet.
"We've had so many bad articles written about the Lightning the past two, three years - it's so draining," said St. Louis. "I think that Steve brings calm, he just kind of stops the storm. We're going to finally get some respect.
"I think that the bad weather is behind us."

We're all happy to have Dan Cleary and Henrik Zetterberg back. The Red Wings are happy. The fans of the Red Wings are happy. The bloggers who write about the Red Wings are happy (even though we don't have access thanks to the Chief over at A2Y).
Out of all of the happy people, Kris Draper actually was quoted, and since he's more important to the Red Wings than you and I, the Detroit News published it. Here's what he had to say about Danny and Hank:
"We are getting two guys back who do it all, on both ends of the rink. They are tough guys to play against. They play every situation for us. So when you lose guys like that, you miss them a lot. Getting them back is huge."
So left on the injury list for Detroit:
Niklas Kronwall – knee
Jonny Ericsson – leg
Jason Williams – leg
Johan Franzen – knee
Andreas Lilja – bleeding brain
Remember when our problem was having too much talent? No? Neither do I. But the fact of the matter is that once Williams comes back, someone who has been playing decent is going to go down.
Maltby? Draper? Miller? And what about Ville Leino? Has he already become obsolete on this team after a disastrous first half? Think about this lineup and see if you don't get a warm fuzzy feeling…
Not touching the goalie section…it's a sensitive subject for some.
But think back to Sweden when we didn't think that Maltby should have been playing in that first game. Leino was in, Eaves was out, and Miller hadn't even arrived yet. What a change 41 games can bring.
If you ask me, Miller deserves to be in this lineup. Maltby has been playing as well as can be expected, but Miller gets my vote. I'm not quite ready to give up on Ville Leino. He's probably not willing to go back to GR, so I'm not sure what we're going to do with him.
Look at the names in red again. Is that a play-off caliber team? I'd say so.
What's that you say? I left a name off of there? Who…wha…? Oh that's right. Johan Franzen. Well I say that the lineup I provided above is good enough to get us to the post-season. And if that means resting The Mule longer than he wants to…so be it. Remember Bobby Orr? His career was cut short because he passed on missing additional games with knee problems. Know what he's missing now? All the cartilage in that problematic knee. So I say rest Franzen until he's so mad that he rips Paul MacLean's mustache from his face then watch him take down whatever team we play in the first round of the play-offs.
Unless he's not ready. Then we may have "wasted" one year of his contract. But so what? We have an entire decade more.

I'd love to see documentation of "jump putts" being illegal and the PDGA deciding to allow it. Looking at the
Rules History document
on the PDGA website, it appears stepping through after releasing the disc has always been allowed by rule. Also, having to have contact with the lie at release has also always been on the books. So, properly executed jump putts and walking putts (i.e. released while in contact with the lie, no contact in front until after release) have
been legal by PDGA rule.
If you were playing by some other set of (local) rules until a point where the PDGA rules were adopted in your circles, then I guess you might have a point. But if we're only talking PDGA rules, I don't think you know what you're talking about.
Of course, I hardly expect a response. Kinda wish I hadn't gotten sucked into posting even this.

Guessing game still on over snap poll
Brown talks of policies but rules nothing out
Gordon Brown refused to quash speculation over whether he plans to call a snap general election as he prepared for his speech to Labour's autumn conference today.
The Prime Minister insisted he was "getting on with the job of running the country" but would not rule out an October poll.
But he revealed that in his first address to party delegates since taking the helm earlier this year, he will lay down a series of policies to tackle some of the UK's most pressing problems.
He said: "What we are doing this week is not about elections, it's about setting out the policies that are right for the country in the long term.
"Every day there is a new challenge and my focus has been totally on the concerns of the country. For three months I have been getting on with the job and my focus is on the job.
"What people want to hear this week is what we are offering for the country and anything that diverts from that is not fair to the British people.
"I have said before I'm not going to give a running commentary on what my thoughts are on this or that, apart from the policy issues."
But before the Prime Minister takes to the stage in Bournemouth, Northern Ireland Secretary Shaun Woodward will address party delegates.
It will also be his first speech to conference in his new role and he is expected look back at the dramatic developments in the province over the last 12 months as well as setting out some of the challenges ahead.
Representatives from Ulster's major parties have also turned up at the Labour gathering, although confusion surrounds an event scheduled for tomorrow.
First Minister Ian Paisley and the Deputy First Minister were both billed to attend the Ulster Fry fringe meeting, but Sinn Fein insist Martin McGuinness will not be at the morning event.
SDLP leader Mark Durkan has also been addressing fringe events, telling Labour members at the Agreed Ireland Forum that the Assembly had enjoyed a honeymoon period but "real politics" would kick in this autumn.
He said: "This is a year which has seen political change in every part of these islands - in Cardiff and Holyrood, in Westminster and Dublin and of course at Stormont.
"We carry a shared history in these islands. Now we face the real challenge of seizing the opportunities of working political institutions to build a shared future in the North and for everyone who lives on them.
" The SDLP is pleased that two parties who for decades set themselves against each other and against political progress have now accepted the very principles they refused to support. Unsurprisingly, the first months of the restored Executive have seen a honeymoon period. Moving into the autumn, the real business of politics will begin."
He added: " Government should be built on robust values, imaginative proposals and real solutions to the problems our community faces. This is the standard the SDLP sets for itself and will hold others to.
"The new Executive is one founded on the principle of power-sharing. But it must be run on that basis too - it cannot be one run by carve-up. The shared society we must build requires positive leadership and cooperation. We need to abandon the politics of grievance and work on common solutions to our common problems."

Vicki, Jeana and the other "Real Housewives of Orange County" come back to television Thursday, and life there seems subdued and less sunny these days. Viewers first met the O.C. wives in the spring of 2006, which might as well have been some other American epoch, when aspiration was all and money flowed like a river.
In this season's opening scene, Vicki attempts an afternoon of quality time with her adult son and daughter, who've always treated her like an annoying but reliable ATM, by partaking in one of the oldest tropes of reality television: Let's all go skydiving! It's a rare lapse in original thinking from the folks at Bravo, who have taken "The Real Housewives" series from Orange County's initial recipe through three more fascinating and morally revealing permutations. (They are now cooking up a Washington version.)
You have to love the subtle, mythological subtext going on as poor Vicki plummets from the plane: These housewives flew too close to the sun. They set the template for Bravo's ruminations on the pitfalls of privilege and narcissism. And compared with their skank sistren in New Jersey and Atlanta, the Orange County wives come across this time like soulful, thoughtful, heartbroken creatures. Which is saying something.
Back on earth (in this case, the gated Coto de Caza, a master-planned McMansionville and the petri dish for Bravo's master-planned programming), Jeana sits in her vast home and contemplates her fate with only slightly less dramatic flourish than Norma Desmond. Jeana is a real-estate agent who used to sell homes in Coto for $2 million-plus but her market has dried up, and her marriage is over. Her spoiled teenage son, Colton, lectures her about spending. The only word for this is rich.
This is Bravo doing what Bravo does best -- imparting, in the slyest and most intuitive of ways, a sense of what's right and what's wrong. Much hubris (and many martini happy hours) brought us collectively to this point and now a new reality pervades the lifestyles that Bravo built its schedule exalting; the Great Recession has given its schedule more texture and human foible, and, in a way, it feels like the people at Bravo knew this would happen all along and set us on a path of social justice.
For somewhere in all of Bravo's saucy reality-series tumult -- amid the housewives' catfights and the sharp-as-knives insults between competing chefs, amid all those narcissistic salon owners and assorted, pouty fashionistas and real-estate flippers -- the cable network has developed something that can only be described a defined moral center.
Yes, a moral center, and yes, that Bravo. The channel is a sort of ESPN for gay men and their simpatico BFF divas, all of it so neon-pink and deceptively shallow-seeming, with its relentless devotion to documenting the deflation of inflated-egos. It's something the network hardly talks about or analyzes (why would it? Bravo succeeds by its ability to tantalize and scandalize, not hypothesize) but season after season, it's strongly there: an ethos. People on Bravo, one way or another, always get what's coming to them.
* * *
"Tabatha's Salon Takeover," which returns to Bravo for a second season Tuesday night, is another homily preached in the church of Bravo, one that prizes the virtues of skill and craftsmanship ("Project Runway" and "Top Chef") above all else: Here, Tabatha Coffey, a 40-year-old Australian stylist with an icy demeanor and a permanent scowl, comes into various American beauty salons to scold the owners and staff for their poor service and pathetic sense of business.
You don't have to give one whit about the hairstyling business to enjoy the catharsis of watching her chew out bad business owners, and you don't have to work very hard to see "Tabatha's Salon Takeover" as a convenient stand-in for American rage at Wall Street, the service industry and the general malaise of the workplace. The salons stand in for AIG and GM; Tabatha stands for reform.
In Tuesday's episode, she confronts Eddie Chung, whose once-trendy Chicago salon, Orbit, has gone down the tubes. After 20 years of business, he's $750,000 in debt and Tabatha makes him literally pour a bottle of his expensive shampoo overstock down the sink, while his inept staff stands by and gently weeps. "This is what you're doing," Tabatha barks. "You are pouring money down the drain."
* * *
"Our viewers want answers," says Andy Cohen, the 41-year-old executive producer at Bravo who has gradually become one of the network's on-camera stars and its voice of reason. "They never just watch. They are deeply engaged in what happens on [the shows]. . . . It's like we're putting pop culture and society on trial. They want to know why someone did what they did, what else was said. They want people to account for what they've done."
Cohen has played a key role in shaping Bravo's vision of a conflicted world. In 2003, "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" sparked what would become the network's way of combining aspirational "lifestyle" programming (paint your living room, clean up your wardrobe) with shows that would venture provocatively into the everyday drama of life. (Even if "everyday" involves opulent real-estate and "Millionaire Matchmaker.")
Without ever once seeming like a self-help network, Bravo allows its viewers to confront the biggies in life, all of which transcend class, race and gender: parenting (good and bad), relationships, moral relativism, consumerism, values and a creeping sense of soullessness in the modern world.
In his own weekly talk show, "Watch What Happens Live," Cohen invites the subjects of Bravo's reality shows to sit with him and explain themselves and their actions. Before "Watch What Happens" debuted last summer, Cohen had been blogging about the network's shows and "characters" and dilemmas. The success of "Project Runway" and "Top Chef" more or less demanded a conclusive "reunion show" in which participants would confront one another at season's end, and answer viewers' most urgent questions, which almost always begin with a "Why did you . . . ?" and "How did you feel when . . . ?" Cohen, an effervescent interlocutor, acted as moderator.
Now he is also bartender, party host, prosecutor, ombudsman and therapist. (He serves cocktails to his guests; even the cagiest "Real Housewife" always warms up to his light and fizzy manner. Keep in mind, of course, that the people who star in Bravo's reality shows are paid for their time and many of them have spun off books, pop songs and the like. Bravo is a mutual back-scratching salon.)
* * *
As one who wallows in what reality television has to offer and then hates myself later for doing it, I think Bravo is unfairly lumped in with the worst of what other networks offer in the way of altered nonfiction: VH1 and E!, the Sodom and Gomorrah of cable's lesser climes, offer sin without salvation ("Tool Academy 2"; "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" or Hugh Hefner drooling over his concubines), even as Dr. Drew labors in vain to cure celebrity addictions.
TLC, which has an unhealthy predilection for gawking at rare medical conditions, morbid obesity and multiple births, found success with "Jon & Kate Plus 8" and then failed to build out that show's ready-made lesson about fame's giant Slip 'n Slide.
And the big networks -- ABC with "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition," "Wife Swap," and "Supernanny"; NBC with "The Biggest Loser" -- persist in seeing reality shows as a gateway drug to more empty promises of positive thinking and platitude. CBS, meanwhile, relies on an almost nihilistic, "Lord of the Flies" presumption, in which humans must eliminate one another and survive to the finish.
Bravo, however, seems to believe in people. Like any reality-TV machine, it brutally edits them into certain narrative stereotypes, but what it doesn't do is edit them into "issues." It focuses first on characters and story (real characters, caught up in utterly banal and yet utterly real stories) and then considers the solution or conclusion. Sometimes there isn't one. Bravo asks its very engaged audiences to decide right from wrong, to judge the sinner apart from the sin, and to do unto others as if the camera is always watching you.
Because the camera is always watching you. Maybe the camera is God after all?
Tabatha's Salon Takeover (one hour) airs Tuesday at 10 p.m.; The Real Housewives of Orange County (one hour) airs Thursday at 10 p.m.; Watch What Happens Live (30 minutes) airs Thursday at midnight; all on Bravo.

China's central bank cut its reserve requirements ratio as it seeks to cushion a painful transition to a consumption-driven economy. Oil prices shot up 3 percent on Monday, boosting the Mexican peso , which rose 0.93 percent and the Colombian peso, which strengthened 1.44 percent. Saudi Arabia also said it would work with producers to limit market volatility and is committed to meeting a big part of global oil demand based on commercial consideration, according to state news agency SPA. Meanwhile, data showed U.S. crude oil production fell in December and Reuters survey reported lower crude output from OPEC in February. Chile's currency was down, due in part to a drop in the price of copper. Shares of Brazilian state-controlled oil company Petroleo Brasileiro SA rose, boosting the country's benchmark Bovespa stock index. An up to $10 billion credit line from China Development Bank could help Petrobras, as the company is known, pay nearly all its $12 billion in maturing debt in 2016, a source told Reuters on Friday.

Members of the Pacific Park Board want aldermen to enact an ordinance prohibiting smoking near the children's playground areas in the city park, but some aldermen called for delay in acting on the measure.
The park board called for a park rule that prohibits smoking within 20 feet of the playground area near the Rulon pavilion and the merry-go-round and small equipment near the city swimming pool.
The board also wants the city to purchase butt cans to be placed in the park for smokers to discard cigarette butts.
Speaking at the April 16 board of aldermen meeting, Park Board President Stephen Flannery III said board members had discussed the issue at their April meeting and voted to ask for the ordinance.
Flannery said a survey of the area around the children's equipment showed discarded cigarette butts on the ground and in the mulch next to the equipment.
Park board members are worried about the health of the children, and also have concerns about fire safety and cleanliness of the parks, Flannery said.
Alderman Carol Johnson said when the park board discussed the measure there was trouble fielding a quorum and in the end the president had to vote in order to have a quorum.
Johnson, who is a member of the park board, said she voted no because there were not enough members involved in the discussion.
Flannery said the measure had been handled appropriately.
"I've been on the park board for four years and we've struggled to have a full complement of board members at many meetings," he said. "That's why you have a quorum so you can do business without all the members present."
Johnson said she wants to see more people talk about the no smoking rule before aldermen act on the issue.
Alderman Mike Pigg agreed, comparing the issue with the St. Louis Street parking issue where he said rash action resulted in putting signs up, taking signs down.
Pigg also said cans for cigarette butts are among items frequently stolen from public places.
"If you're going to get prices to buy them, you'd better also get the cost of something to secure them in place," he said. "Otherwise they'll be stolen."
Following a motion by Alderman Mike Bates, a second by Alderman Walter Arnette, the board agreed to put the measure on the agenda for a future meeting.
"I'd like to see a public discussion on this," Bates said.
Flannery said the park board is open to a public discussion on the idea.
"In the end we want to do what is right for everyone," he said. "We're all for more discussion."

Trying a New Technique!
My husband and I have been TTC for over a year and ever since we started trying, I've been on this website "almost" everyday, researching names. The only problem is...my list has grown substantially in the last year. I love too many names!
We are now happily expecting (10 weeks along) and I know its going to take the rest of this pregnancy to narrow down our list. A friend of mine suggested taking what she called her "baby steps" approach. When she was pregnant (all 6 times!), she would concentrate on 3 consecutive letters a week and all the names she liked beginning with each letter. She would get online or read about each name or ask around about what people thought. Gradually she would narrow it down to one name she like per letter by the end of the week. I decided I would try it with one small change, my friend didn't have the Nameberries for help!
I'm hoping if I post my lists, you all can help me narrow things down. Even if you just tell me which one of each letter you like, every little bit helps. Thank you so much in advance! :)
Here is the girls' list. Our last name is Garner and I'm not 100% sure all of these names work well with it. If you feel that one really clashes, let me know! It'll be one less name to worry about! :)
Oh and the * are family names or variations close to it that we actually like.

Re: Trying a New Technique!
For A I like Adelaide, Alice, and Amelia. My favorite would be Alice by a long shot though.
For B I like Beatrice, Bridget, and Blythe. For my favorite Bridget barely beats out Beatrice.
For C I like Caroline, Catherine (although I prefer it with a K), and Claire. Caroline wins as my favorite, but I like all three a lot.

Re: Trying a New Technique!
I've just answered on your boys post but girls are harder for me because there are so many more names I like! But I'll try :)
A - Favourite family name's are Alice, Anabella and Adele though I do like Abigail (spelt this way), Alessandra, Adelaide and Amelia too! So that's no help! Of the other names my fav is Aurora, not to keen on the others. I don't know if Augustana is a legit name, the are some "user-submitted" details about it on behindthename.com but nothing from the website itself. I would guess it's just a variation on Augustina. I actually prefer Augusta, Augustine, Augustina or just August though.
All the nn's I know for Barbara are old fashioned (Barbie, Babs!) I personally wouldn't use this as a first name, I'd save it for a middle name if you do use it. I LOVE Beatrice and Belle though and those both honour family! I also love Blythe and Bridget. I know a Brighid and the name sounds too harsh to me.
C - Camille, Caroline, Catherine and Cecilia are all gorgeous and all honour someone! (wow you must have some great names in your family tree!) I also like, Carys and Corinne :)
Best of luck!

Mr. Woodrow, Richard Eramia aboard; David Schwartz's
J Isle, Kerwin Clark; Dwight Sprague's
Cactus Son, Shane Sellers; Peter Deutsch's
Adirondack Summer, James Graham; Marathon Farms Inc.'s
Greek Warrior, Jamie Theriot; and Charles Fletcher's
Beachcombing, Miguel Mena in the saddle.
Of these,
J.B.'s Thunder, trained by native New Orleanian
Al Stall Jr., could provide stiff competition for the top two. The
entire son of Thunder Gulch won the Grade I Breeders' Futurity over
Polytrack at Keeneland by four lengths in 2010, failed in the Grade I
Breeders' Cup Juvenile later that fall, but has
shown improvement since being introduced to turf competition in two
starts this year.
