Hi there.
MBTN reader Steven this week found the above image out there in space, showing the Mets' starting rotation posing in Spring Training of 1987 with new uniforms: Not just the butt-ugly script New York road jerseys destined to be worn in 1987 and 1987 alone, but the centerpiece, Sid Fernandez, wearing No. 10 and not No. 50 that represented his home state of Hawaii and the cop show set there.
Sid's number change was to be part of a wholesale change in Met pitcher jerseys first suggested near the end of the 1986 season by teammate Ron Darling (right). Darling, who in 1985 switched from No. 44 to No. 12, suggested that fellow starters Fernandez and Rick Aguilera (left) join him, Dwight Gooden (16) and Bob Ojeda (19) with numbers in the teens. When they arrived for Spring Training in 1987, equipment manager Charlie Samuels was ready.
Fernandez famously chickened out of the experiment on the eve of the new season, but Aguilera stayed in 15, which was famously cashiered by George Foster the previous summer. It was one of several changes for the Mets that spring as Kevin Elster moved from 2 to 21; Clint Hurdle went from the 13 he as assigned in his last Met go-around in 1985 to 7 in 1987 (Lee Mazzilli in the meantime was assigned 13); and Ed Hearn switched from 49 to 9. Hearn, like Fernandez, however, wouldn't make it to the the start of the season in his ugly new assigned Mets jersey: He'd be traded to Kansas City for David Cone.
Hi guys, I'm back from a little R&R, moving aside the worthless sandbags at my door, and catching up to the new arrivals in Metland. We'll begin late last month when Jon Niese pitched his way onto the disabled list and once again recalled Mike Nickeas, the catcher who wears 13. This struggle to reach the finish line is becoming an annual phenomenon for Niese, who until a few weeks ago, looked like the best starting pitcher the team had. Pinch-hitter Scott Hairston, who started poorly before coming on, went to the DL himself on Aug. 26. He was replaced on the roster by Miguel Batista, the 40-year-old journeyman whom I remember best from the Diamondbacks' blessed 2001 Yankee-beating World Series team but has also played for a half-dozen other clubs including the Cardinals, who released him earlier this year. Batista made his Los Mets debut last night wearing No. 47.That jersey last belonged to flukey lefty Hisanori Takahashi, now of the Angels. Finally, Jose Reyes returned to the roster and Mike Baxter was demoted.
When rosters officially expended Thursday, the Mets recalled two new Joshes: Right-handed masher Josh Satin of AAA Buffalo and righty reliever Josh Stinson of AA Binghamton. Satin, like a glut of utility infielders before him, was assigned No. 3. Stinson is a big dude who might provide some relief: He was assigned Elmer Dessens's old No. 64. Where have you gone, Elmer? Along with Josh Thole, this provides the Mets an unprecedented number of Joshes -- who all went by "Jose" during the Hispanic Heritage game last night, I think.
Even though the ridiculous "Los" results in a jersey that makes no sense in two languages, count me enamored of the blue jerseys, particularly if and when it replaces the hideous black look. The black remains depressing, ugly and impossibly dated already. And I'm happy to discover that creepy Einhorn kid won't be partnering with the Wilpons. Not because I think he wouldn't do a better job as a minority owner (who wouldn't?) but that the deal's demise increases the chances the Wilpons lose it all in Chapter 11.
Finally, the Mets received the booty from the Francisco Rodriguez trade with Milwaukee. Coming our way is a 5-foot-6 lefty, Danny Herrera, expected to join the Mets today in Washington. Herrera struggled with Milwaukee this year (and in Cincinnati before that) but was doing the job in AAA. Has he been assigned a number? Let me know. The other guy we got was Class A pitcher, Adrian Rosario. Sounds like a deal to me.
Thanks as always to the readers who kept up the dialog in my absence. By the way I'm looking for a Drupal-profient partner to revamp the site, please let me know if you know someone!
One desperate final shot at relevancy begins Tuesday when the Mets get back Jose Reyes (hopefully) and Carlos Beltran (maybe) and David Wright on Friday (please) for what'll be a week-and-a-half of steadily increasing pressure and speculation culminating (I predct) in trades of Beltran, Jason Isringhausen, Chris Capuano and Tim Byrdak and the Mets maintining their hold on 4th place. It'll all be for the good!
Meantime, this team can still accomplish something. Just the other day in fact, Jon Niese became the all-time winningest pitcher to wear No. 49 for the Mets. His 20th career win in No. 49 came Saturday against the Phillies, breaking Walt Terrell's 27-year-old record. Niese like Terrell is a bit of a bulldog with Midwest roots who debuted as Mets (Terrell was from Indiana and Niese from Ohio). Terrell reached 19 wins (against 23 losses) in three seasons and 57 games; Niese thus far has fashioned a 20-19 mark in 58 games over four seasons. And at age 24, there's presumably more to come for Niese, while Terrell's career began at 24. While Terrell posseses the better Met ERA (3.53 to Niese 4.15) there's little difference with regards to the era they played in, while Niese is a far superior strikeout pitcher with better control.
Following are the all-time leaders in victories among Mets who wore 49. Thanks to MBTN reader Shorty for bringing this to my attention.
Met | Year(s) | Victories |
Jon Niese | 2008-present | 20 |
Walt Terrell | 1982-84 | 19 |
Armando Benitez | 1999-2003 | 18 |
Kevin Kobel | 1978-80 | 12 |
Joe Crawford | 1997 | 4 |
Orber Moreno | 2003-04 | 3 |
Only a few knuckleballers come around per generation, so I was pleased to learn the Mets were on the verge of signing one Tuesday. R.A. (Remarkable Athlete) Dickey has kicked around several organizations since first surfacing with Texas in 2001 and like many knuckleballers, developed the pitch only after his other stuff (including elbow ligaments) abandoned him.
The Mets' have employed but two pure knuckleballers in their history. The first was righthanded reliever Bob Moorhead, who developed the delivery while on the road back to New York following a string of injuries (including, ironically, breaking two knuckles by punching a Sportsmans Park dugout door in frustration after a 1962 outing). Moorhead's other distiction was having been the first relief pitcher ever called on in a Mets game. Moorhead wore 22 as a knuckleball dabbler in 1962 and 21 as a specialist in '65. The Mets' last pure knuckler, Dennis Springer, was released shortly after taking a pounding from the Reds on a frigid, wet, windy April evening at Shea in 2000. He wore No. 34.
Other Mets have included a knuckler as part of their repetoire, including relievers Jeff Innis (who threw his sidearm); Dave Roberts; Tom Sturdivant; Frank Lary; Warren Spahn; Bob McClure and Todd Zeile, whose whole pitching career was something of a stunt. Dave Mlicki threw a knuckle curve.
The Mets for a time were developing potential knuckleball throwers in the minors. One, Zac Clements, was a converted catcher who appears to have topped out at AA Binghamton in 2006. Charlie Hough, a longtime knucleball hurler, was the Mets pitching coach in 2001 and 2002.
Dickey in the meantime only signed a minor league contract, and has had only sporadic success in the majors to recommend him, but I'l be rooting for him just the same. Knucklers of recent vintage including Tim Wakefield and Tom Candiotti wear No. 49 so as to honor Hoyt Wilhelm, one of the giants of the craft. The Mets' current tenant of 49 is lefty Jon Niese.
Those awful Mets play in Houston tonight with lefty Jon Niese on the mound. Niese in a stint I'd already forgotten ever happened this year wore No. 49 and is still available for him. To make room on the roster the Mets got around to disabling Gary Sheffield who naturally isn't happy about it.
Like the next guy I'm interested in seeing how the whole Tony Bernanzard drama plays out, not because I think he's the devil, necessarily, but because how it unravels might reveal something of how this ridiculous organzation works. As I understand things, Bernazard at this time last year looked as if he might be the future king of the Mets, only to see Omar Minaya get the contract extension after the year. With some conflicting reports arriving as to Bernazard's behavior I'm wondering who the sources are and what their motivation is. I also wonder if it wouldn't have been even better had he taken his pants off.
Thanks to everyone who showed up Amazin' Tuesday this week at Two Boots. Newly linked blogger Section Five Twenty Eight has a terrific account of it. We're doing it again on August 25 (I'll miss that event but I'd urge you to attend anyway) and on Sept. 15.
*-Bonus points for getting the title reference.
So as you probably already know, Billy Wagner is out for a spell with a sore forearm and that the Mets have recalled Ruddy Lugo from Class AAA to take his place. Lugo tonight was wearing the same No. 49 jersey he wore during spring training and would become the first 49er since Phillip Humber last season and the first Ruddy (or Rudy) in team history.
The Mets barely survived their first post-Wagner game but they survived it all the same. Jerry was either a genius for letting Aaron Heilman throw with a 4-run lead, or an idiot, depending I suppose on who's asked to close out the next one and how adventurous that assignment becomes.
Meantime we're still awaiting word on who gets the call to take John Maine's scheduled start. Jerry tonight said that start would be Saturday not Friday, which may favor a promotion for AA lefty Jon Niese. Niese (i before e) wore No. 62 in spring training, which I'd consider the absolute borderline carryover point. Other candidates would be a pair of 39s: Claudio Vargas (AAA) or Bobby Parnell (AA).
* * *
Longtime Mets beatwriter Marty Noble, provider of a terrific interview, is counting down Shea's remaining days by uni number. His first entry, 30 to 25, is here. Between Marty and Greg Prince, also a fine interview (both are even better writers), they've got a handle on Shea's history that's about a million times better than team officials whose idea of honoring the dying building is to trot out Lincoln-Mercury representatives night after night. Greg devoted lots of thought and effort into his own inspired countdown of Shea's final season and most recently destroys the Mets for carelessly providing their support for a hacky, flawed, inaccurate, advertiser-driven "Greatest Moments" ballot.
Must-reads as always.
So the Mets along with introducing Johan Santana to the press today updated their 40-man roster so as to provide uni numbers for several players for the first time. From the bottom, it's
9 Marlon Anderson (switching from 23 for Brian Schneider)
16 Angel Pagan
19 Ryan Church
38 Matt Wise (Carlos Muniz is now listed in 32)
39 Jason Vargas (Vargas was 43 last season, we may see a flip with Stokes, below)
43 Brian Stokes
49 Ruddy Lugo (Phillip Humber, we barely miss ye)
61 Steven Register(likely to be the lowest of the high-numbered invitees)
Also worth noting is pitcher Adam Bostick in 72, giving him the highest number among the 40 men invited to camp. Among non-roster invitees, the deck is clear for Jose Valentin to take 22 and Ricardo Rincon to assume his usual 73.
Our post below guessed a few of these correctly at least. Keep in mind as always these numbers don't "count" until the games do, so nothing is official yet.
Muniz whiffed 66 guys in 64+ innings in AA and AAA this season, posting 23 saves and a 2.24 ERA. "If we need him, we'll use him," sez Willie. Just might.
Press notes say Collazo will debut in No. 36 — a jersey that earlier this year went to outfielder Chip Ambres. Ambres reportedly is among others who may still be recalled as the month rolls on.
The Mets in the meantime put together a solid game Friday in ending an ugly five-game losing streak. Among the casualties of the Philly sweep was Orlando Hernandez, who is expected to miss his next turn in the rotation resting a sore foot. The leading candidate to take his place is some guy called Martinez.
While everyone's harping on the bullpen and Willie's alleged poor management of it, the fact that the Mets have scored only 2 runs in the last three games is the real guilty party. That, and the Luis Castillo-Paul LoDuca screwup. And Aaron Rowand's good fortune. The bullpen is what it is: Enigmatic, unpredictable, prone to slumps. Teams that don't score more than 2 runs on the road in 10 innings deserve whatever they get.
The new right fielder, Endy Chavez, did little to change that last night. Endy returned to the Mets and the No. 10 jersey last night for the first time since June, and made a fine catch, but otherwise resembled all the other right fielders recently. Brian Lawrence 54 was designated to make room, leaving Saturday's starter role currently unfulfilled. The possibilities are many as the calendar will read Sept. 1 by then, though Phillip Humber looks at the moment to have a shot.
Humber you may recall appeared twice in relief last September, wearing No. 49. He's had a quietly strong season in AAA.

A lovely 2.6 mile loop in a park in the heart of L.A. sprawl. On clear days, this trail offers outstanding views of downtown, the San Gabriels, the Hollywood Hills, and beyond – and otherwise this park has wonderful bird-watching, surprisingly secluded and shaded trails, and lots of open green-space. This is a great little park that deserves a visit, especially if your experience is limited to racing through it on your way to LAX.
The Basics:
- Distance: 2.6 miles
- Elevation Gain: 243 feet
- Time: 90 Minutes
- Trail Condition: Excellent. While some trail junctions are not clearly marked and there are a few use-trails not included on the official park map, this is a very easy park to navigate.
- How To get There: From the west, take the 10 and get off at the La Cienega Blvd. exit. From the east, take the exit for Washington Blvd. / Fairfax Ave. and continue on Washington for about a half mile before turning south onto La Cienega. Continue on La Cienega for 1.4 miles and take the exit for the Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area. In the park, continue driving past the playground, pond, and community center and up a hill to the parking area near Janice's Green Valley (you'll see some bathrooms and another play / picnic area near the parking lot). Park your car and head toward the Green Valley to begin the trail. Car entrance to the park costs $6 at time of writing.
Public Transit Directions – On weekends and holidays from 8AM to 6PM, a shuttle will travel every 20 minutes between the Expo Line La Cienega Station, Kenneth Hahn State Park, and the nearby Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook. Fare is 25 cents.
The Notables:
- Amazing city views on clear days
- Surprisingly secluded, shaded trails
- Bird-watching
- Dog-friendly (on leash)
- L.A. history
More Pictures:
- on Flickr
If you're like me, you've driven through Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area dozens and dozens of times on your way to catch a flight at LAX and never even considered actually going into the park. You see the La Cienega highway that runs through it (part of a thankfully aborted project to run freeway all the way north through Laurel Canyon) and the oil rigs at the Inglewood Oil Field and can't even imagine why anyone would want to put a park there – and you're doing yourself a great disservice.
Kenneth Hahn is 401 acres of greenspace in an especially park-starved area of our already park-poor city that also happens to be home to a surprising amount of L.A. history. Tongva natives lived here for 8,000 years before it was incorporated into Spanish ranchland. For the 1932 Olympics, the park was the site of the very first Olympic Village ever built. A reservoir was built here in the 40s, and in 1963 the dam collapsed, flooding the Baldwin Hills neighborhood below – and KTLA's coverage of the disaster was the first time helicopter footage was broadcast live on television. Today, it's the park where people can take super-clear photos of downtown L.A. with the snow-capped San Gabriels behind it:

After you arrive in the upper lot, head toward the large open space known as Janice's Green Valley. After being shocked at seeing what's probably one of the largest – if not THE largest – open green spaces in Los Angeles, begin your hike on the path in a counterlockwise direction.
If you're lucky, you'll get enough quiet here to enjoy the birdsong that seems to fill the air. If you're interested in our avian friends, the Los Angeles chapter of the Audubon Society hosts a free Birdwalk in this park on the third Saturday of every month (except for July and August). The walk lasts from 8 to 11:30AM and you can find more information on their web site.
In about 0.3 miles, you'll come across a plaque indicating this bucolic green space is the site of the former Baldwin Hills Reservoir, which dumped 292 million gallons of water into the neighborhood below in December of 1963, killing 5 and destroying or damaging nearly 300 homes. Continue past this marker until the 0.6 mile mark, where you'll turn right onto the dirt Diane's Trail. Keep left at the fork to avoid the locked gate for the radio towers and get ready to experience some really beautiful single track as the trail passes through large groves of prickly pears and eventually starts to open up to some great views northward.
Now, it is true that for large sections of this hike, the Inglewood Oil Field will be visible. In some parts of the lower park, you'll even be able to hear the machinery. So if that's the sort of thing that's going to completely ruin your day, you might not want to head to this park. But if you can look past that grossness, you might be lucky enough to see the Santa Monica Mountains and the Pacific Ocean behind them.
Continue until about 0.8 miles, where a marked but unsigned trail leaves the broader, more well-traveled Diane's Trail. Take a sharp right onto this to join the City View Trail, even though it looks like it just leaves the park.
This short side-trail loops through some very nice, shaded areas with some small eucalyptus trees before tracing a ridge that really opens up with some spectacular views of the Hollywood Hills and San Gabriels to the north.
At the 1.1 mile mark, the City View Trail meets back up with Diane's Trail right near the Autumn's Peak overlook area. Stay on the City View Trail as it makes a short descent directly below Diane's Trail and heads west toward another forested area – and make sure to enjoy the nearly panoramic views from here.
At about the 1.2 mile mark, the City View Trail rejoins the main route in a large 5-way junction with several other trails and use-trails. Stay to the far right to descend on the Forest Trail, which wraps around the geography of the park's northern section before turning south into a small Japanese garden with an artificial waterfall.
From here, go beneath the red gate and stay on the sidewalk as the path takes you into Doris' Japanese Garden – a small but well-kept landscaped area that also appears to be a popular spot for wedding, prom, and quinceañera photos. Stroll through this area and continue along the roadway or look for a short parallel trail through the trees just to the east of the restrooms (look for a small brown bridge).
From here, the Community Loop Trail continues on sidewalk and along the street back up to the parking lot, but if you're intent on staying on trails there are a few use-trails and fire roads that will ascend from here back up to Diane's Trail. If you want to stay on the official route, continue along the park roads, walking through Gwen Moore Lake and along an artificial babbling brook. The water features may be man-made, but when I was there they were full of ducks, geese, and herons.
After the brook, the sidewalk will follow the main road up an incline back to Janice's Green Valley and your car – or you can wait and hop on the shuttle back to the Expo line!

"Life's Mission"
July 17, 2012
We passed this young Amish couple riding to Youth Meeting on Sunday afternoon. The warm weather brings out the spring wagons and Saturday afternoon one came down our road which was a pleasant sight and sound.
Listen to this message on your audio player.
"Life's Mission"
This last Sunday we visited a nursing home where we serve as chaplains. Brooksyne played the piano during their dinner hour which the residents thoroughly enjoy. The hymns bring tremendous comfort and reassurance as they hear the familiar melodies played.
While Brooksyne plays Ester and I visit the folks going from table to table. I greeted Sarah,* a spunky Jewish lady with a very colorful personality. In the course of our conversation I asked, "Sarah, how old are you?". She shrugged her shoulders and then asked me, "What year is it?" I told her, "It's 2012." "I was born in 1916″ she responded and then looked on as I did some mental calculation. I informed Sarah, "You're 96 this year and you'll soon be 100 years old!" Her eyes met mine with a look of amazement and then with a big smile she responded, "Well… God bless me!" Sarah's turning that statement of blessing around to bless herself has stayed with me these past two days and brought an inward chuckle as I recall our brief visit.
God has blessed Sarah with a long life and we are grateful that she has been a part of our Sunday services and hymn sings. There's something precious about seeing an older Jewish lady, raised in the Jewish section of New York City where her father had a small grocery/candy store, singing out, "Yes, Jesus Loves Me, the Bible tells me so"!
Spending time with people who have a different ethnic background or raised in a different part of our country or across the seas draws me to our daily verse: "From one man He made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and He determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live." This verse teaches us that God decides precisely where on the planet and precisely in which period of history each man and woman is going to be born and live out their lives.
I consider the many different locations around our globe, the various time periods and assorted living conditions where I might be living out my life and even more importantly the religious settings. In many places it's extremely difficult to live out one's life as a Christian believer. And since people tend to stay in the religious faith into which they were born, it is very difficult to even become a Christian (in many regions of our world it is illegal to convert).
Brooksyne and I were both born into homes where there was a Christian basis although we grew up in very different denominations. In our teens we both made the decision to personally accept and follow Jesus Christ and later we met in Bible College where we were both preparing for ministry.
Periodically I express in this devotional perspective my personal mission statement: "I am created by God to bring Him glory. Through God's Son Jesus Christ I have been redeemed and I make it my life's goal to please the Lord. My mission in life is to honor God through my faith and obedience and prepare myself and all whom I may influence for eternity."
I believe each of us should have a similar personal mission statement. The life-long mission of each true disciple of Christ is to influence and impact others in regard to their eternal destiny. Although we surely do so in different ways (thankfully), we all have this call, whether we're in "professional" ministry or not. God has a plan for each of us in the accomplishment of His purpose.
Let us again consider our daily text, a powerful statement made by Paul in his message in Athens: "From one man He made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and He determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live" (Acts 17:26).
We live in many different places all over the world. Ultimately this was determined by God and what a blessing to have readers from all over the world.
Although we may live in different places we all have in common a window of history concerning the times set for us determined by God. I am pretty sure all reading this message will live their appointed time on this earth sometime between 1910 (assuming we have any 100+ year old readers and 2100 (assuming a young reader may live to be 100). Of course the blessed hope of the Church could interrupt this!
Today we once again call on each reader to submit to God and His purpose for your life. Every one of us has a life mission.
Be encouraged today,
Stephen & Brooksyne Weber
Daily prayer: Father, it is in You that we live and move and have our being. As You breathed life into us You also determined the parents who would bring us into this world, where we would live, the language we would speak, and the culture that would help shape our way of life as we know it. In Your great mercy You have chosen to show Your power through us who believe so that Your name may be declared in all the earth. By Your grace we will be faithful in carrying out this tremendous mission You have entrusted to those who believe. We pray this in Jesus' name. Amen.
* Sarah is not here name but this is a true story!
Brooksyne's Note: I listened to the book of Romans on my walkman cassette player early this morning as I was tending my gardening chores (I know I'm still in the dark ages with technology). When I came in and read over the lesson Stephen prepared and did a little editing I thought about the 9th, 10th and 11th chapters where Paul writes about the Israelites who reject the Gospel and those of us whom God has grafted in. I must admit I don't fully grasp these concepts but God really spoke reassurance to my heart in these passages. I incorporated some of the Scripture into our prayer this morning and encourage you to read these chapters if you want to think further on the theme we presented today.
Yesterday we shared a photo of a super-sized sunflower growing in our garden which got the attention of our readers. One wondered if it might be a world record so I looked it up. According to the 2004 Guinness Book of World Records, a sunflower grown in the Netherlands holds the record for being the tallest sunflower in the world at 25 feet, 5.4 inches tall. Based on Brooksyne's height (5'3″) I would guess our sunflower is between 10-12 feet tall. Lance also observed was how amazing that it stands so straight and tall without outside support. He observed that the sunflower must have a very wonderful root system and suggested it would serve as a good sermon illustration. I concur with our reader.
Our friend Ken, featured often on our site since he's been a great helper to us on various occasions, had a birthday this last Sunday and took a barrel train ride with his boys and their friend in the middle, Zane.

Horsehoe Bay, we are all avid golfers and still have four feet of snow on the ground here. We are so looking forward to hitting a few drives and putts. Not too worried about the weather in Texas, it is what is going to happen on the way down and then back home. There are huge flood predictions for Northern US and around us here in Winnipeg. I think we will make it back before the worst though.

MENA › Investment › SME Policy, Entrepreneurship and Human Capital Development
The Working Group on SME Policy, Entrepreneurship and Human Capital Development was launched following the MENA-OECD Investment Programme High-Level Meeting in October 2008. Currently chaired by Tunisia and Italy, this working group aims to engage partners in regional dialogue and peer review on issues specifically pertaining to SME growth and development.
The creation of this working group is particularly relevant in the current global economic environment where SMEs are regarded as the backbone of our economies as means to generate growth, innovation and employment.
The key activities of the working group are:

Is your cutter 2 flute or 4 flute? Carbide or HSS? These things will help you get an answer you can use.
CNCzone Network: RFQwork :: 3Dstuffzone :: Welderzone
I have avoided cutting any steel with my Taig till now.
I have a piece of 1/4" x 1/4" square bar stock that I want to square up on
the mill.
I am planning to use my 1/4" cutter to do 2 passes per end.
Should I use the slowest spindle speed?
Is your cutter 2 flute or 4 flute? Carbide or HSS? These things will help you get an answer you can use.
Taig Shop Projects:
It's a 2 flute HSS.
5artist: I started cutting steel with my taig about 6 months ago and have been pleasantly surprised with it's capability. I've had no trouble with 12L14 or 1018. I've also done a bit of 4140, which works, but is notably tougher.
You NEED to use carbide. HSS just don't last. You'll also need coolant and a way to clear chips. I use the altrax 1/4" 4-flute carbide endmills from enco and run them at 5 IPM, 0.02" DOC @ 1500 RPM.
Tormach PCNC 1100, SprutCAM, Alibre CAD
The largest bit I will use on steel is a 3/8" About 4-5ipm, and slowest spindle speed. Flood coolant as well. I use flood cooling on pretty much everything I cut.

RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485 Interfaces Information
RS232 interface chips, RS422 interface chips, and RS485 interface chips are interconnection devices for the transmission of serial data. They are used in notebook and portable computers, battery-powered and handheld devices, and communications equipment. RS232 is a serial data standard that supports point-to-point connections and provides asynchronous communication capabilities. Hardware flow control, software flow control, and parity checking are other important features. RS422 is a serial interface that supports longer transmission distances than RS232, but provides less signal line. RS485 is compatible with the RS422 data standard and provides a 2-wire bus topology. Typically, RS485 serial interfaces are used in applications where a single controller needs to control multiple devices.
Specifications and Features
RS232 interface chips, RS422 interface chips, and RS485 interface chips differ in terms of product specifications and features. The number of drivers, number of receivers, data rate, slew rate, operating temperature, and supply voltage are important specifications to consider. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection is critical for equipment reliability. Interface chips with integral slew rate circuitry minimize radio frequency interference (RFI) and eliminate the need for external capacitors. Features for RS232 interface chips, RS422 interface chips and RS485 interface chips include low-power operation and latch-up protection. Charge pumps are often used in low-voltage devices. Short circuit protection enables RS232, RS422 and RS485 interface chips to withstand an accidental short circuit from a conductor in the interconnecting cable to one of the package outputs.
Logic Family and Integrated Circuit Type
RS232 interface chips, RS422 interface chips, and RS485 interface chips differ in terms of logic family and integrated circuit (IC) package type. Examples include complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS), transistor-transistor logic (TTL) and low voltage differential signaling (LVDS). CMOS uses a combination of p-type and n-type metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFET). TTL also uses transistors, but as digital switches. LVDS products provide low skew, differential signaling, and relatively high speeds. IC package types for RS232 interface chips, RS422 interface chips, and RS485 interface chips include small outline integrated circuit (SOIC) and quad flat package (QFP).
RS232 interface chips, RS422 interface chips and RS485 interface chips conform to serial data standards from the Electronics Industries Association (EIA) and the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA). There are different standards for RS232 interface chips (EIA/TIA-232), RS422 interface chips (EIA/TIA-422) and RS485 interface chips (EIA/TIA-485.) The EIA also publishes Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) to Data Communications Equipment (DCE) standards that describe the electrical, mechanical and functional interface between terminals such as cathode ray tubes (CRT) and communications equipment such as modems.

IMX Resources is committed to being a good corporate citizen and works hard at developing and maintaining strong relations with local communities and supporting local businesses. IMX Resources has developed and maintains very positive relations with the people in and around the town of Coober Pedy in South Australia, located 55 kilometres from the Cairn Hill Mining Operation.
Supporting Australian Rules Football in South Australia
IMX is a proud sponsor and supporter of South Australian sporting teams.
IMX are corporate sponsors of the Port Adelaide Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL), the Port Districts Football Club in the South Australian Amateur Football League (SAAFL) and the Coober Pedy Saints Football Club in the Far North Football League (FNFL).
The "Power to End Hunger" Campaign
In May 2012, IMX Resources joined forces with the Port Adelaide Football Club and Foodbank South Australia to launch the "Power To End Hunger" campaign in Coober Pedy.
IMX Resources has agreed to fund Breakfast Club Programs that are operated by Red Cross South Australia at the Coober Pedy Area School and Marree Aboriginal School, ensuring that school children who may not otherwise have anything to eat, start their day with a healthy nutritious breakfast.
The issue of hunger among children in rural and remote communities across South Australia is acute, with up to 5,000 children going to school hungry every day. IMX Resources is proud to be the first major corporate sponsor to join the Power To End Hunger campaign, and is encouraging other mining companies in South Australia to join in supporting this vital community initiative.
For more information about the Power to End Hunger Campaign visit;
www.foodbanksa.com.au www.portadelaidefc.com.au
"IMX Managing Director Neil Meadows (right) with Port Adelaide Football Club CEO Keith Thomas (center) and Foodbank SA CEO Richard Pagliaro (left) at the Coober Pedy Area School on 23rd May 2012 to launch the "Power to End Hunger" campaign.".
Members of the Coober Pedy Community
IMX Resources has maintained a strong and continuous presence in the Coober Pedy region since 2000, and continues to make significant investments in the local community.
The Company made a conscious decision to build a village within the township of Coober Pedy to provide accommodation for its contractor workforce employed at Cairn Hill, to ensure that the benefits from the Cairn Hill Mine were shared with the local community. IMX offers workers and their families who choose to relocate and live in Coober Pedy, a generous local living allowance, which injects revenue into the local economy, helps to support local businesses and creates employment opportunities.
Having an accommodation facility in the middle of Coober Pedy encourages mine workers to become part of the local community, to spend their money in local shops and restaurants, and participate in local sporting and recreational activities.
IMX has also made contributions of specialist medical equipment to improve health care services at the Coober Pedy Hospital which benefit residents in the town and those people living in other remote and isolated communities in the broader region.
Coober Pedy to Oodnadatta Bike Ride Adventure (C.O.B.R.A)
COBRA is part of a police mentorship program to teach teenagers about harm minimisation and how to tackle boredom. A group of riders set off from Coober Pedy to ride 200km along dirt tracks to Oodnadatta across the far north of South Australia.
Bikes are provided by Change Cycle which was founded by Ms O'Brien and involves Melbourne's homeless people working with school children to recondition donated second hand bikes. The bikes are then sent to Central Australian aboriginal communities.
Other sponsors for COBRA include Oz Minerals, OPAL Fuel, the Commonwealth Government (FaHCSIA) and the South Australian Government (Health SA).
Fabulous Film Festival for Disadvantaged Kids
On Saturday 10th December IMX Resources was the major sponsor for Rotary Club of Adelaide West's ''Fabulous Film Festival for Disadvantaged Kids". The event was held in selected cinemas around Adelaide. With popcorn and soft drink in hand, all who attended were treated to a wide range of the latest movies on the big screen.
The cost for each child to attend the event was $50. The large cost of facilitating such an event is due to the need of every child who attends to have a carer present.
"It is a real privilege for IMX to be involved in an event that puts put a big smile on so many faces of less fortunate children who suffer with severe disabilities or terminal illnesses," said Steve Staines of IMX Resources. "In a small way IMX was able to provide some respite for these well deserving members of our community," he said.
"On behalf of all the children, their families and the carers, I extend a huge thank you to IMX Resources," said Edan Barnett, Event Coordinator. "IMX Resources generous financial contribution to the event made the Rotary Club of Adelaide West's Annual Film Festival for severely disabled, disadvantaged children, their families and carers possible," he said.
The annual event is only made possible through the ongoing support of the South Australian business community. Rotary Club of Adelaide West thanks all those who make this yearly event a reality for some of the most deserving children, families and carers in Adelaide.
Supporting the Opal Mining Industry
Coober Pedy is the opal mining capital of the world and one of South Australia's most popular destinations for local and international visitors.
Coober Pedy is a mining town with a proud history. Opal mining has been the mainstay of the local economy for nearly a century and has created a unique local culture. IMX is proud to sponsor and support the Coober Pedy Miners Association Inc., which is conducting an opal exploration program to open up new opal fields in the Coober Pedy area.
CPMAI Drilling Program
In 2006 PIRSA (now DMITRE) granted $100,000 to the CPMAI to purchase an MK10A auger drill. The primary purpose of the drill is to explore virgin ground away from the known opal fields yet still within the Coober Pedy Precious Stones Field.
In 2006 the drill was instrumental in the discovery of Opal Ridge and Opal Valley. Opal Valley today is arguably Coober Pedy's most active opal field.
IMX's desire to support the industry that is synonymous with Coober Pedy led to annual sponsorship of the Coober Pedy Opal Exploration Drilling Program. IMX is also a sponsor of the Coober Pedy Gem Trade Show and has been since the events conception in 2007.

NBA AM: Humbled Miami HEAT Take Home The Title
Posted By Lang Greene On June 22, 2012 @ 8:08 am In All,Main Page,NBA | No Comments
The Miami HEAT are officially NBA champions, needing just five games to defeat the upstart Oklahoma City Thunder in the Finals. Regardless of your allegiance it would be hard not to respect the HEAT's championship journey as a collective unit in finally earning the honor of hoisting the Larry O'Brien trophy.
Three-time league MVP and 2012 Finals MVP LeBron James had twice reached the Finals before, to only come up short and watch helplessly as other franchises celebrated their victories. Dwyane Wade, the 2006 Finals MVP, won a title at twenty four years old and then suffered through multiple first round playoff eliminations before tasting another title, now slightly past his prime at the age of thirty. All-Star forward Chris Bosh established himself as a nightly 20/10 performer in seven seasons with the Toronto Raptors, but only managed to make two playoffs appearances as the team's leading man.
Those bitter disappointments led the trio of James, Wade and Bosh to join forces during the summer of 2010 and in the process the unit shook the entire NBA landscape. The team would ultimately fall short of an NBA title in year one of their "Big Three" experiment, losing in the Finals to the Dallas Mavericks in six games. But a year later, a much more humbled Miami HEAT team, are now NBA champions and refusing to take anything for granted.
"Man, this process is unbelievably hard, and I don't care who you put on a team," Wade said according to the Associated Press. "To be a champion would be the hardest thing you do in sports. You know, two years ago, putting this team together, obviously we all expected it to be a little easier than it was. But we had to go through what we had to go through last year. We needed to. And as much as it hurt, we had to go through that pain and that suffering. To get to this point of this season and the rest of our careers together, we'll take nothing for granted. Like I said, that series versus Dallas hurt, but it was their time. I went back last night and I watched Game 6 of The Finals, and it was their time. The shots they was hitting was unbelievable. I looked at it and said it wasn't our time. And tonight it was our time."
James, who often was tasked with the full weight of the team's criticism, reflected on his journey and credited his hard work and dedication as the key to finally winning his first championship.
"It was a journey for myself," James said. "I don't want to compare it to any other player, but it was definitely a journey. Everything that went along with me being a high school prodigy when I was 16 and on the cover of Sports Illustrated, to being drafted and having to be the face of a franchise, everything that came with it, I had to deal with and I had to learn through it. No one had went through that journey, so I had to learn on my own. All the ups and downs, everything that came along with it, I had to basically figure it out on my own."
"You know, I'm happy now that eight years later, nine years later since I've been drafted that I can finally say that I'm a champion, and I did it the right way. I didn't shortcut anything. You know, I put a lot of hard work and dedication in it, and hard work pays off. It's a great moment."
This is the second NBA title in Miami's history. The HEAT also became the first team to ever to trail in three separate playoff series during the playoffs to go on and win a championship.
Carl Landry Discusses Free Agency, Hornets' Recent Trade: Power forward Carl Landry's name wouldn't spark much recognition from the casual NBA fan, but the fifth year veteran will be one of the most coveted frontcourt targets in free agency this summer.
Landry maintains that he's going to keep his options open this summer and evaluate all opportunities presented. The former Purdue University standout makes it clear the Hornets are still in the race, but also reiterates he doesn't have an allegiance to just one team.
"Well, it's an opportunity to prolong your career in the NBA," Landry said to John Reid of the Times Picayune about the importance of his next contract. "Obviously, this past season was tough, but at the same time it's basketball. Growing up as a kid my dream was always to play in the NBA. It was never to play for a certain team."
The Hornets own the No. 1 overall pick in this year's draft and are widely expected to select former University of Kentucky standout Anthony Davis with the top pick. Davis is projected to be a power forward at the pro level, which is the same position as Landry. However Landry maintains the potential presence of Davis on the roster won't impact his decision on whether he'd re-sign with New Orleans.
"Not at all," Landry said regarding Davis' presence hindering a Hornets re-signing. "I think [head] coach Monty [Williams] and his coaching staff will do a good job of putting the right players out there on the floor."
Landry has established himself as a double-digit scorer throughout his NBA career over 308 contests. As a reserve in 245 appearances he's averaged 11.1 points and 4.8 rebounds. But Landry's production as a starter (63 games), 16.2 points and 6.3 rebounds, is what has intrigued teams around the league most about his potential to take on a larger role.
The Hornets recently traded veterans Emeka Okafor and Trevor Ariza to the Washington Wizards in exchange for experienced wing Rashard Lewis. New Orleans is expected to buyout Lewis' contract and ultimately save $30 million over the next two seasons in salary commitments by dealing Okafor and Ariza. Landry says he understood the move from a business standpoint, but said it was tough to see key guys during the Hornets' playoff run in 2011 being dealt.
"It's always tough," Landry said. "It's tough to see friends leave. They were such a big part of our success [in 2011], getting to the playoffs and then taking the [Los Angeles] Lakers to six games in the playoffs. They're my friends first and foremost but at the same time we have to all understand it's a business and the Hornets are doing what they think is the best move for the organization. Hopefully with the trade it makes the Hornets a better team."
Bobcats' Mike Dunlap Gets Out To Fast Start, Literally: The Charlotte Bobcats' recent decision to hire head coach Mike Dunlap resulted in some criticism and a few raised eyebrows since the former St. John's assistant coach didn't come on board with much mainstream flare.
Dunlap's supporters maintain that just because his "name" doesn't attract many headlines doesn't mean he's not a bona fide top tier coach. Ultimately time will tell, but for now Dunlap got off to a fast start in Charlotte on Thursday while attending the Bobcats' pre-draft workout.
Included in the workout session was UNC's Harrison Barnes who will likely be a top ten selection in this month's draft. Barnes was quoted by the Charlotte Observer as saying Dunlap pushed the tempo of the workout and made it more of a "track meet."
Dunlap believes there is only one way to fix the Bobcats, who are coming off a historically dismal season, and that's through being one of the most conditioned teams in the league, grinding and of course a fast tempo.
"We've got to roll our sleeves up and get going now,'' Dunlap said to Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte Observer. "We can't figure this thing is going to come to us. We've got to go to it.''
Four Bobcats who trudged through the team's 7-59 campaign were also on hand for the pre-draft workout. Dunlap hopes the message gets back to the other players through Bismack Biyombo, Matt Carroll, Byron Mullens and Cory Higgins that a change in culture is on the horizon in Charlotte.
"The word will get out that there's work being done here,'' Dunlap said. "It's voluntary (this summer), but come to work in pairs and threes, not ones. We don't want our guys coming to this facility by themselves a lot.''
The Bobcats own the No. 2 overall pick in this year's draft. Dunlap is set on looking for a player who can play in a frenetic pace system.
"You can't come in here and be unfit," Dunlap said. "And fitness for a pro basketball player is all year long.''

STWR has Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations (ECOSOC).
STWR advocates for an international program of emergency relief and a fairer sharing of wealth, power and resources within and between nations.
Beyond the misiones and the Bolivarian process (el proceso Bolivariano) of empowering working people and the poor, two of the most significant initiatives of the Bolivarian revolution in Venezuela have been the restarting of closed factories under workers' co-management with the state, and the rapid expansion of the cooperative sector of collectively-owned and collectively-operated enterprises.
'When the elephants fight, the grass suffers,' says an African proverb. The World Trade Organisation's (WTO) Doha Round – whose raison d'être was, supposedly, the development of the poor countries -- collapsed after five years of negotiations (it was launched in 2001). The reason was, the apostles of liberalism widely reported in the mainstream media, the failure by the United States and the European Union (the two biggest elephants) to make sufficient concessions in agricultural and exports subsidies, and in lowering their tariffs on agricultural goods. They fought stubbornly and selfishly, these commentators argued, and the grass (the poor countries) was trampled upon.
As the border organizer for Sierra Club's Environmental Justice program, I bounce back and forth across the U.S.-Mexico border supporting grassroots environmental activists. More than the food, language, or currency, the biggest difference from one side to the other is what issues are considered "environmental." Perhaps nowhere else on earth is there such a long border between such a rich country and such a struggling one, and this disparity seems to carry over to which issues take priority, writes Oliver Bernstein.
You won't find commentary and language any more hostile to Hugo Chavez than on the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal. Their June 23 piece by Mary Anastasia O'Grady in the Americas column is a clear, jaw-dropping example. It's practically blood-curdling in its vitriol which calls Hugo Chavez a threat to world peace. The sad part of it is Journal readers believe this stuff and are likely to support any US government efforts to remove the "threat."
Maybe it's just a coincidence that just days before an international expression of solidarity demanding the US keep its hands off Venezuela and Cuba, Rep. Dan Burton (a right wing Republican in good standing) introduced an anti-Venezuelan resolution in the US House of Representatives.
This week, the State Department announced that it was banning all sales of weapons to Venezuela, alleging that the government of President Hugo Chavez was not cooperating in the worldwide war on terror.
Venezuela's president is using oil revenues to liberate the poor - no wonder his enemies want to overthrow him, writes John Pilger.

Seriously, you did. A big ol' backhanded smack in the face. Four school board members just took us to the woodshed.
There's not much to say, 'cept that we're now stuck with him.
Like Wade Phillips (and the comparisons are many) or a bad free-agent acquisition, "Doc" Thomas got an extension. He's now signed up until 2015. Last night, he got his rubber-stamped 3.9% raise. The only down vote coming from our hero Tom Neild.
The extra 3.9% works out to around $14-15K for the highest paid superintendent in ALL of Texas.
For that kind of money, the guy better be able to do things no one else can do. Can he fly? See through walls? Shoot laser beams from his eyeballs? Stop time? At the very least, he should be able to put a team on his shoulders and carry 'em all the way to a Super Bowl. We don't think he could win a spelling bee.
Last we checked, people don't get that kind of money for being "acceptable."
Super? Ha!

With lifestyle complexities and technological advances that pull us away from life's simple pleasures, the three piece band, Turn off Your Television, has a rather simple message: "Don't get stuck in modern society." It's not often I'm convinced that living in pure mediocrity is beneficial to the artistic temperament, but I was pleasantly persuaded having talked to Jon Rinneby, ToYT's producer. Besides, it's not like Jon and bandmates, Stellan and Erik, have a choice in a country where citizens favor "something in between" rather than "over the top."
Their eponymous album is a compilation of varying styles of ambient rock infused folk ballads that take you on emotional highs and lows, but never reach extremes. "Turn off Your Television" is a cohesive yet laid back debut that croons a soothing ambiance and tactfully brings together the mysterious imagery and metaphor that in itself is an interpretive and pleasant art form that pleasantly questions humanity's definition of happiness in this technologically driven world.
Only if Jon could get himself on a plane, he could bring Turn off Your Television to the U.K. and the U.S and show us exactly why we're anticipating this up and comer.
Musebox: I understand what is implied by your band's name, Turn off Your Television. We're glued to the screens and essentially getting fatter and fatter as we sit there. But, then again, I'd say that these days laptops are probably one of the largest culprits (no pun intended). What about this compelled you to choose your name?
Jon Rinneby: We are not trying to make a statement with our name, like ,"throw your TV out the window and go outside," or anything. It's just a name. I guess what we are trying to say, if anything, is, "Don't get stuck in modern society". But that really doesn't matter too much either.
MB: What do you think about the fact that music education programs throughout grade schools are one of the first programs to be cut due to budget constraints?
Jon Rinneby: It sucks. I've worked as music teacher for many years and I'm well aware of this situation. Music, or any art for that matter, isn't a "real subject" to most schools and politicians. That's the problem. If you or your kids really are into music you better look up a good music school instead. Actually I've quit my job as a teacher just this summer to focus on what is important in my life – music.
MB: Since you've recently quit your job, how are you managing to survive, considering the fact that in reality, living like "rock/pop stars" doesn't always mean that the money is flowing in as often as you'd like?
Jon Rinneby: Good question, maybe you can help me out?! Seriously though, I'm a pretty good studio technician; I've been working in my own studio helping other bands and artists out. I have managed to get by so far, but I'm not very rich though.
MB: If you weren't Swedish and living in Sweden, Turn off Your Television wouldn't be who they are. You're propelled into a depressed mode that spurns creativity. Would you give Sweden up to reach what you're "yearning for," which is, "having it all" as you reference in your song, "Never Rusting Symphony"?
Jon Rinneby: First of all, and now I speak for my self only, I don't like to travel! So leaving Sweden isn't really an option. I guess you could call me a "safety addict." Both Stellan (bass & harmonica) and Erik (drums & backing vocals) love to travel, so I guess we have to meet half way someday (one way or another). To address "Yearning for something…," I guess its more about not knowing what you want, while still knowing that you want "something"
MB: Is touring outside of Sweden, namely in the US or the UK, in your plan?
Jon Rinneby: Actually, yes! We are just looking for the right opportunity, so to speak. But since I 'm afraid of flying (among other things) this might be a bit of a problem. Thankfully we have worked out a "water proof" plan, that includes pills and other stuff…
MB: I feel like after listening to your album, I'm pleasantly exhausted, having been enlightened with the hunger that you have to become something more. Can you briefly tell me what the Swedish life is like that makes you feel this way? What's so "moderate" about the Swedish lifestyles?
Jon Rinneby: Hehe. That's a tough one. In Sweden nothing is really "over the top." Rather, everything is kind of "something in between." Just take milk in Sweden for example. We have three different kinds of milk: low fat, medium, and whole. Guess which is one the most popular? Yep, medium of course! This is the way I perceive Sweden… But still, I love this country more than anything else. It's this strange and ambivalent feeling that is the root/foundation to our music, and that's why we sound the way we do – kind of happy but still, in a way, sad.
MB: What about the 60s, 70s, 80s brings you back to influences in those past eras? The optimistic tend to look toward the future, so from your perspective is there a hint of pessimism about the future?
Jon Rinneby: Not the 80s for fucks sake! The 90s are it.
Well, as a band we are not pessimistic about the future. In fact it looks very shiny. But if you look at the bigger picture, one is right to be a little "worried". Not all things wwere good back in the day either. I mean what would you do without an iPhone?!
MB: Ha why not the 80s? But also, what is something that you're worried about?
Jon Rinneby: Name one good thing coming out of the 80s (other than the obvious – ripped jeans).
I'm worried about a lot of things actually, mostly stupid stuff like flying, traveling by train, riding elevators and such. One thing i don't worry about (and now I speak for the whole band) is the future. It's exciting not knowing what's coming next!
MB: What old guitars are in your arsenal? What about your self professed old microphones from telephone poles or shotgun shells? What's that about?
Jon Rinneby: I have some old Swedish acoustic guitar's from the 50s and 60s that sound very special; not necessarily in a traditional good way, but they sound honest. If you ever come across a "Bjärton" in America, get one!
My fascination for strange microphones started when i first head Sparklehorse. It was after a revelation that "bad things can sound so good." I then started to collect old microphones and even ordered some special onces from the u.s, which included a microphone made out of a shotgun shell. It sounds wonderful, but it's really small though!
MB: What unknown musicians are you currently listening to?
Jon Rinneby: Hmm lately Chief, Fountains of Wayne and Cocoon. Well, I guess they are kind of famous…
MB: Is there anything you're working on that you'd like to tell your fans about?
Jon Rinneby: Sure. In the coming weeks we are gonna do a live acoustic video recording of a new song called "Broken glass". I might even use one of my old guitars! Keep your eyes open.
MB: Do you have any advice for aspiring musicians?
Jon Rinneby: Nope! Kidding. Do your own thing!

Nominate your favorite U.P. wings place
Football season is underway, and what goes better with football than buffalo wings? That's right--this time around, we're looking for FOX UP's Top Choice for wings.
Thursday, we did a little investigation into the history of buffalo wings and how they're made.
Although you'll hear a few different stories about the origins of buffalo wings, we found one that seems the most credible.
This version tells us that buffalo wings were created in 1964 at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York. Co-owner Teressa Belissimo whipped them up when her bar unexpectedly filled with her son's friends, home from college, and she needed a quick snack to feed them. It was at that moment that she decided to fry the chicken wings, which were usually thrown out or used for chicken stock. After frying them, she tossed them in a sauce with spicy cayenne pepper and then served them up with blue cheese dressing and celery, a very strange combination. But the wings were an instant hit...and the rest is history.
Now that we know where they came from, let's find out how they're made.
First, the raw wings are dipped in the fryer where they cook in oil for about seven minutes. This gives the wings their crispy coat and golden color. They get a good shake so they don't stick together, and then it's time for that savory sauce. These days it's more than just "hot" wings. How about barbecue? Garlic? Teriyaki? The choice is all yours.
Amie Hart says she looks for "flavor, juiciness, and not too much crisp" in her wings.
Another wing lover we spoke with says she can't get enough.
"I'm a big fan of chicken, love the boneless and garlic, can't go wrong with garlic," says Gina Tilly.
Which wings in the U.P. do you think are the best? For the next two weeks, nominate your favorite wings in the U.P. either right below this story or here on the nomination page. We'll announce the five with the most nominations and feature each of them on our show.

Kent Gordon England has generously put together a wonderful plan which will take the corner lot at Hwy 128 and Geyserville Avenue from an eyesore to a usable park that tells a story about Geyserville. The entrance to the park will represent the entrance to the wine country with a large permanently open pair of gates.The geysers will be represented in a large metal sculpture in the corner hiding a storage tank that has to stay there. And the replicated river bed running through the middle will represent the Russian River complete with Steelhead Salmon explaining the environmental and conservation issues…past and present.
Thank you to all who worked on the Polenta Feast at Trione Winery! What a GREAT fundraiser we had a Catelli's! Thank you Catelli's Restaurant for your generousity and to all the donations we received. Read More...

During installation the DivX installer showed up, witch was strange since the reason to use this codec pack is to avoid installing the crapware so I canceled it. Later windows notify me that security center was disabled and security essential as well.
Later installed AVG and discovered that regular program files were infected.

Excellent codec pack, has been my choice for more than 5 years, and I only had twice since that time to use VLC for a problem of subtitles handling on 2 rmvb movies. Except those very very rares exceptions, it has never failed, and MPC is a kick-ass player !!
Only deception : since a few packs, the tool G-Spot have been removed from the pack, it was a great tool to get every info you needed from the audiovideo files.
Keep on the good work (and please get back G-Spot :P)

The Navy Jack is the flag flown by United States Naval Vessels. It's motto of "Don't Tread on Me" is emblazoned on a Red and White Striped background with a rattlesnake stretched across it. The flag has a long and revered history in America's Navy spanning back to the time of our country's fight for Independence. However, Navy SEAL commanders are now banning the historical symbol. The question is, who is behind the ban?
(Excerpt) Read more at dailycaller.com ...
The Serpent will not be mocked.
Where can I get some to wear on my stuff in support?
Well this is what happens when you have a foreign enemy agent in the nations highest office courtesy of the Treason and RINO parties.
The C.I.C. of course. When the CW starts he's not gonna have too many on side I'm betting.
Zero is behind it. He hates anything manly because he's not a man. He's a fey eunuch.
Bammy is treadin' on them.
Yeah - I think someone or group is running the US at this point...Obama is the front man who plays golf - and knows nothing...but, no one stood up in force and yelled, "He's a fraud and took it to court to stop this mess."
We all deserve this - for standing around and not doing what needed to be done - we should have seized our schools in 90's and overran them with strong Christian boards - hired principals with standards that fit the values of the Republic - made sure superintendents were on the same page - held dead beat parents and the losers that supported them (Liberals) accountable for their actions and protested and made sure cities, counties, and states held those idiots for being the POS that they are - mocked colleges that supported the socialist agenda - made sure the federal govt stayed separate - and not grouped under one dept - as in the DHS - refused to fly until the TSA was disbanded — but no - these are just s few things in the last 12 yrs we accepted and thought - well - everything will calm down and will go back to like it was....bye bye past!
From the article...
"...due to its association with radical groups..."
...do they mean, the people who fought and died in order to found this country?
Huh??? Wha???
They are terrified of anything Tea Party. Should have 1000 Gadsden Flags circle the White House. Put Obama into a symbolic Tea Party prison.
"When we got organized as a country and we wrote a fairly radical Constitution with a radical Bill of Rights, giving a radical amount of individual freedom to Americans, it was assumed that the Americans who had that freedom would use it responsibly.... [However, now] there's a lot of irresponsibility. And so a lot of people say there's too much freedom. When personal freedom's being abused, you have to move to limit it."Bill Clinton; MTV's "Enough is Enough" 4-19-94
The TEA party also has a fondness for the US flag. How long before the SEALS be ordered to remove that too.
This is going to get interesting. Obama's messing with the wrong folks.
And when some do; just watch many here denounce that individual or individuals. They will wholesale, hook line and sinker believe the media who they ordinarily disdain and worry much, much more about how that individual might make the Republicans and Conservatives look bad. I spit in their general direction.
With some exceptions, these "dangling" bonds make free radicals highly chemically reactive towards other substances, or even towards themselves: their molecules will often spontaneously dimerize or polymerize if they come in contact with each other. Most radicals are reasonably stable only at very low concentrations in inert media or in vacuum."
We could use some transformative hopium derived from the Physics of Chemistry to throw Bammy/jomama from the bus/train.
This is a very important symbol to the Navy SEALs themselves .
It is almost like asking them not to wear the Trident
This is a major affront to all SEALs
This is why the top Military was purged, so they could get away with this crap
Ultimately, Satan and his agents on Earth.
One just happened in LA, and you only need to read the posts concerning that shooting.
The officers being purged MUST have a meeting.
Our military is under civilian control.
Our officers respect that.
Any changes must come from Congress and be written so as to obviate any EO that tries to thwart it.
If you like your Old Glory, you will be able to keep your Old Glory. Period.
No one will take them away. No matter what.
If you like your military, you will be able to keep your military. Period.
If you like your SEALs, you will be able to keep your SEALs. Period.
No one will take them away. No matter what.
My first thought!! Good for you.
Thank you, Sir!
Seals do whatever they want in the field. They are untouchable. So Fu Obama.
I met a Seal Team 6 member that had 9 Purple hearts. I have more respect for him than anyone in government and much more than all the occupants of the white house. I will wear what they can't in his honor.
Let's do it, I'll be there in a heartbeat! Glenn Beck could organize this. Or Jenny Beth Martin...
The man person at the top, of course.
The Emporer doesn't have to micro-manage and issue a specific, detailed order for his butt licking, politically correct minions to know what he wants.
"... I think someone or group is running the US at this point..."
I think you are exactly right...We are up the creek... we better decide to clean house....
My dad said that in WW2, if you got 3 purple hearts (I believe that is a silver cluster on your PH), you were honorably discharged. A lot of men would not report injuries that could be patched up on the field because they were so committed to America.
Then came along the John F'n Kerry types who were doing their best to get out the military, reporting getting hit in the ass with rice.
We fly the Gadsden Flag. Wonder how long before the "goons" come a-knockin' on our door?
Thanks for the ping.
Seems to me , whoever ordered the ban doesn't know how to read....or comprehend traditions, Leo.
He is taunting the SEALs now the way clinton taunted Vietnam Veterans back when he was burning children alive and shooting women and children. He didn't get them to take the bait then. But this assault on the SEALs has been long and sustained. He is setting them up for something.
He's not in charge. He's a puppet.
Yep - why do you think he wouldn't give-up his BlackBerry?
Needs it to get instructions from his masters.
He's a marionette.
He's not nearly as smart as ANYONE thinks he is. He's not even smart enough to be stupid.
I grant you this administration is a large group effort, but I very much doubt "we", as in we USA citizens, will ever be able to catch them all...
But we CAN catch most of them.
How is the question.
I know my opinion on what will ultimately be required.
I know I am not wrong, but I can still pray something happens to change the method.
Dear, God. I never thought of that. The man (and I use that term lightly) has no soul.
He absolutely hates and FEARS these guys, azi. They were not sufficiently enamored of his glorious self and spit in his eye in Somalia after he told them not to fire on the pirates holding a ship captain on a dinghy right in their faces. They did not sufficiently fear his wrath when they spotted the little buzzard turning a weapon on the ship captain and took the shot that freed the captain. Their orders were not to fire UNLESS there was sufficient reason to believe the ship captain's life was in imminent danger.
Can you imagine the outrage these guys felt? There they were watching these punk somali bastards holding an American hostage just sitting there in the water waiting for blood money to free or kill him and the SEALs were ordered to stand down.
I don't know if the little punk intended to harm the captain or not, but he gave the SEALs enough rope to hang him and they did.
oscama's press made a big deal that the punk was just a poor teenager.
oscama was livid, but technically they obeyed their orders to the letter. He couldn't punish them outright. No courts martial. No discharges, demotions, or censures. They had done their jobs with the utmost perfection. And they have been paying for it ever since.
And now he taunts them and tells them they can't put the Navy Jack patches on their uniforms anymore or fly it from their vessels. Poking, poking, poking at them maliciously. How many have died because of him? I mean SEALs specifically. This is a set up and there is no doubt in my mind. He wants a response so he can retaliate. How remains to be seen. He could dissolve and disband the SEALs if he wanted to. He is the cic. Just give him an excuse the American people MIGHT accept.
Just some food for thought.

It's a great day to be a Yeah Yeah Yeahs fan, as the New York-based rockers debut "Sacrilege," the first taste of their upcoming LP, Mosquito, due out later this Spring. Though Lady O's unmistakable delivery is enough to make the track enjoyable, it's the aid of a soulful church choir, an element we've never heard before on a YYYs record, that makes the sinister track an exceptional introduction to the new album.

Needs to reopen, Jun 19, 2011 |
reviewer: Wayne Stockford
from Bushnell, Fl |
I was a member of Perry Hollow for 3 years and was psyched before every round. This is a beautiful course and very challenging. The course needs to be reopened as soon as the economy permits. With the right management this course should be a money maker. I enjoyed every round I played there regardless of how I scored. |

CLosed, Re-opening soon ?, Jun 30, 2004 |
reviewer: Brian
from Mass |
In 1999 it was a very scenic and VERY hilly course, challenging layout, but the 9 newer holes hadn't come in yet. It closed in 2001 or 2002 - probably a $$ issue since it was never crowded. In 2002 it had been bought out and was supposedly going to re-open (under a new name) by 2004 as a semi-private or private club. |
