Encouraged by the wealth of landscape and artist interpretation in the Bay Area as well as such early experiences as Van Gogh's exhibition at De Young Museum in San Francisco, John Poon's appreciation of art emerged at an early age. A childhood full of drawing and painting foreshadowed an artistic future. After completing four years in the U.S. Coast Guard, he attended and graduated from Academy of Art University, winning numerous student awards and scholarships. After graduation, Poon accepted the Academy's offer to become an instructor of painting and drawing, and eventually served as Director of Foundations overseeing the core Drawing and Color and Design classes. Poon believes in the importance of an academic grounding in the basic principles of art and adheres to the classical premises of art education. He values his teaching and administrative experiences as having increased his perspective as an educator and artist. Poon's works reflect his inspired appreciation of landscape. His paintings can be found in numerous private collections across the country. He is represented by Evergreen Fine Art in Evergreen, Colorado; The Garden Gallery in Half Moon Bay, California; The Legacy Gallery in Jackson, Wyoming; The Rowe Gallery in Sedona , Arizona and The Walls Gallery in Wilmington, North Carolina. His numerous professional awards and honors include "Best of Show" Society of Western Artists; Arts for the Parks Annual National Juried Exhibition; The Artist Magazine Annual National Juried Competition; Sonoma Plein Air; Sedona Plein Air; and The Rocky Mountain Annual Plein Air Paint Out. Poon lives in Liberty, Utah with his wife Jenny, their six children along with Momo their cat.

Will donating to charity ever be as popular as shopping during the holiday season?
A partnership of nonprofits hopes so.
For many people, the holiday shopping marathon began on Thanksgiving day, with some national chains opening their doors just hours after the traditional turkey dinner. Then comes Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday, which has morphed into Cyber Week.
Now, there's a new campaign asking you to open your wallet _ Giving Tuesday.
The Giving Tuesday website says the effort, coming on the heels of days devoted to consumerism, is designed "to create a national day of giving at the start of the annual holiday season. It celebrates and encourages charitable activities that support nonprofit organizations."
Several Newton-area nonprofits are among those using their websites and social media networks to kick off the inaugural effort including the Jewish Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Boston and the Chestnut Hill Benevolent Association.
There are also a number of Massachusetts-based nonprofits that are taking part in the #GivingTuesday event including The Jimmy Fund, the Animal Rescue League of Boston, Boston Children's Hospital and the Combined Jewish Philanthropies.
The effort includes the Twitter hashtag #GivingTuesday, designed to help spread the word.
What do you think? Can a social media push get people giving more of their money and time to charities during the holiday season?

- Always park in a well-lit parking lot/area
- Do not park in areas that say "No parking"
- If your vehicle gets towed from a public street or alley you will need to call Southside Wrecker at (512) 441-7094

Oppo BDP105 first impressions review.
Try again. Keen to read your review.
Well until Megatombomb returns,try mine:
David sold me an Oppo 105. I've taken out the dead DVD32r and the AV32r, updated the Oppo firmware and am using the Oppo direct linked into my 100*5r as a processor. The story so far:
Very impressed with blu-ray visuals, but no surprise there as the HTPC was doing OK.
Linked up my Sky box direct to TV and optical to the Oppo. USB DAC connected, HTPC also linked via HDMI. Folio on a spdif coax.
Thoroughly impressed with the sound. Cds at least as good as the Tag unit, tried "Grrr" on a stereo bluray (nice, but I'm not going to replace all my cds for the difference), flac rips, Tubular Bells monster flac all very good, I was very surprised by "Honky Chateau" as a surround SACD. Thought it would be a joke, but really got immersed in the music. May well try a few more.
Bourne Legacy made me duck. May have to turn the rears down a bit.
Can't hear any difference between the USB DAC and the HDMI connection (ears are getting on a bit now)
Very impressed on the SQ and video, but!!!!
Quite a few control issues - particularly with the lip sync side of it,. Being a persistent git for experimenting, it would appear that fast forward/pausing/b*******g about with Sky replay can create or solve lip sync issues. Sometimes the Sky picture freezes for no apparent reason. I think that there is something in the communications that causes gremlins. You can always use the Sky box adjustment to solve it, or sometimes just reboot! I'm wondering if my different makes of HDMI can cause trouble.
It's driving the wife mad - so 5 stars for the Oppo!!!!
Well worth a punt chaps.
It seems the site/forum was having problems earlier and my review didnt appear Apologies for that.
So yes i would like to share my impressions of playing with my new Oppo 105 all day whilst doing some listening tests against the unit it replaces which is a Denon DBP2012ud of only 12months old. This review will focus solely on the 2 channel audio quality while listening through HDMI from both players. I admit to have tried neither through analog outs as yet only HDMI - though i'd like to do this as i expect the difference from using the Sabre DAC in the 105 output via XLR into a proper integrated amp to sound better - surely the main point of buying a 105 over 103. The two players are connected to a Pioneer SC-LX85 av processor/amp and the speakers are Monitor Audio RX6 floorstanders. HDMI calbes are identical and both good quality. Expectations having read such rave reviews online and on forums are high.....
Started by listening to a favorite album of mine Pawn Hearts by Van Der Graaf Generator on CD. Immediately noticed the treble to be more prominent than the Denon but surprisingly not in a good way. Sure its quite a harsh recording (for those who have heard it) and the Oppo does nothing to hide the fact and perhaps over emphasises it. I also thought the timing of the record to be slight out and then it came to me the main critisism of the Oppo 103 in what -hi-fi review where they seemed to mention it didint time well with music. I simply dont remember not enjoying the three amazing tracks on this VDGG album ever before??
Promptly i moved onto another favourite CD... Nursery Cryme by Genesis. There are a number of tracks with some rhythmic but complex drumming which i figured would be a great test of both units 'timing'. Again the Oppo sounds brighter though acceptable on this recording but almost harsh again. More worryingly where the Denon has me tapping my feet and playing imaginary drum kit i just found the Oppo lost all the subtleties in the rhythms and stopped me tapping away and i was suddenly finding it hard to listen too for more than a few minutes! I have gone back and forth between each player for hours and i am so far very disappointed by what ive heard.
I now have a predicament of whether to return the unit as i bought online or try the analog outs but i must admit the disappointment so far has made me wonder whether to bother keeping it any longer. For the same money i can have a dedicated SACD player (one with warm rich sound like MArantz Pearl lite) and seperate Blu ray player. I think i have discovered that when you pair notoriously bright/forward sounding components together it doesnt help as the Pioneer amp and Monitor Audio speakers are guilty of some brightness though no other source has pushed them into harshness as the Oppo has before.
I have learned a lesson today also which is preached on these forums daily which is to always try and make sure to demo such expensive equipment
You're not using the superior ESS Sabre32 DACs of the Oppo 105 if you use HDMI. Try with analogue connection.
"SABRE32 Reference Audio DAC - The DAC is one of the most important components for digital audio playback. The SABRE32 Reference ES9018 from ESS Technology is the world's best performing 32-bit audio DAC solution targeted for high-end consumer applications and professional studio equipment. With the ESS patented 32-bit Hyperstream™ DAC architecture and Time Domain Jitter Eliminator, the SABRE32 Reference DAC delivers an unprecedented DNR (Dynamic Range) of up to 135dB and THD+N (Total Harmonic Distortion plus Noise) of -120dB, the industry's highest performance level that will satisfy even the most demanding audio enthusiast. The BDP-105 uses two ES9018 DAC chips - one for the 7.1-channel output, and another for the dedicated stereo output. To learn more about the technologies behind the exceptional performance of the SABRE DAC, please read the SABRE Technical White Paper."
The DAC in the Pioneer is meant to be very good for 2 channel but yes all ive read says these AV processors dont do music much favours.
Hope to have some analog cables tomorrow to try it with. I hope it makes a difference. I hope this makes it sound warmer and fuller but i still fear that the musicality wont be there as it is with the ol' Denon. It seems strange to criticise it perhaps so soon and also after every other review is so glowing!
I should mention on the plus side, it is beautifully built - to a standard far higher than the Denon (which itself isnt bad). The setup is quick and easy, plus the very intuitive menus make it a pleasure to use.
None of this matters if i dont enjoy the sound though.
Have you tried comparing the two outputs yourself Bigboss?
If you're using the DAC in the Pioneer, then you're not reaping the benefits of Oppo 105. It's no better than 103 if using HDMI. I haven't heard the 105 via HDMI personally. On comparing the Oppo 103 with 105, the latter sounded fuller and more revealing to me (connected via analogue).
Since you have Pioneer SC-LX85 and you use digital transmission you might want to also try one of the Pioneer BD players, like for instance BDP-LX55 to take advantage of Pioneers PQLS solution which is aimed at giving jitterless transmission. (For uncompressed 2-channel or multi-channel LPCM and bitstream audio over HDMI )
Hi Guys,
If we are talking 105 reviews and you've got nothing better to do you may want to have a flick through my OPPO page as I've been trying to document everything that I've tried on the 105EU so far, I really have put it through its paces, whether integrated into a high end 2 channel system, fed straight into poweramps, as a headphone amp, we even tried some films on it Obviously it passed with flying colours with everyting, it really is quite a special piece of AV kit.
Just a question! Having paid all that money for a very high end, incredible machine.
Is a pioneer AV and monitor audio RX6,s, really doing it justice?
Managed to try the Oppo's analog RCA outs with good quality Atlas Equator cables.
Definately with the amp in pure direct mode i am hearing the best yet out of the Oppo. Does it have a notably better sound than the Denon? Well having run them both via analog outs to get a fair comparison the Oppo does have a slightly cleaner sound. Tonally i do prefer it.
My biggest beef yesterday was finding the Oppo to be making a mess of the rhythm of music as referenced in What Hi-Fi review of the 103 but i found this playing both over HDMI. Even in analog I am still convinced that it is just not as good as the Denon in this respect which is a shame because it is slightly better in literally every other respect when both used via their analog outputs. Its such a shame and i would be suprised if everyone who heard these two units side by side didnt pick up on it either.
I find the lack of musicality and rhythmic drive so disappointing i am boxing it back up and returning it immediately. Havent even tried the Blu-ray side of things but again i expect both players to be itentical for picture and probably similar for audio.
In many respects the Oppo is a £1000 bargain on paper/spec/build but the performance has major flaws and i strongly recommend anyone to demo one before buying one especially if you love getting lost playing music.
Just a question! Having paid all that money for a very high end, incredible machine.
Is a pioneer AV and monitor audio RX6,s, really doing it justice?
Yes. Given my budget. The Pioneer is a high end AV amp in itself is it not? The £1000 for the Oppo seemed like excellent value for money, cheap almost, considering the spec/features/quality. But sound has odd rhythm and drive sadly in my system at least
Try Marantz UD7007, currently available at a bargain price:
Marantz is known for its musicality. Definitely demo first!
There is no point in trying to write a review off the 105,i have had nothing in its class to compare too,plus i now have better speakers.
However i absolutley love this player,it is a dream to set-up and opperate,to me the sound from blu-ray/ flac/cd and sacd is quality.I use analogue for everything....for cd/flac i use 2.1....for sacd(if multichanel)5.1,for blue-ray...5.1.
From what i have read,and been told it is the players dacs that make this player a real bargain,almost certainly referance in sound,picture quality seems sharper and colours more vivid compared to my previous panasonic bdp,and loading times are very quick!

Lovely hostess and lovely room. Great location, close to everything. No drama. I highly recommend.
Jwooder August 22, 2011
I stayed with Lane for two months in the summer of 2011. It was a very pleasant stay in every respect, and Lane continually went out of her way to make sure of that. The room was very very nice, clean, and spacious, and the location was just fantastic. Lane provided all sorts of helpful maps, restaurant guides, tips, and local knowledge that made my stay much much easier. She gave good advice, and even took me along on some wonderful excursions such as pre-screenings, and hollywood insider invite-only parties. I would definitely recommend staying with Lane. I think that anyone could stay there and enjoy their visit.
Cwoolston3 January 26, 2011
What an incredible, relaxing place to stay!! I was in LA for business and while my days were grueling coming home at night felt just like that, coming "home". Staying at Lanes never felt like I was just crashing in a room. I have nothing but thanks for Lane for welcoming me into her home and my only regret is not being able to stay longer, thankfully my work finds me in LA frequently!

Before Game 4 of their Western Conference first-round series against the San Antonio Spurs, the Los Angeles Lakers handed out white towels to fans at the Staples Center.
Apparently, someone in the marketing department didn't understand symbolism. By halftime, those towels had become flags of surrender for the Lakers, the biggest underachieving team in the history of the NBA.
Dwight Howard offered his own symbolism, figuratively throwing in the towel midway through the third quarter. Unwilling to grit his teeth and bang and bump his way through all of another telling, embarrassing loss, he got himself ejected, starting his offseason of uncertainty with an hour's headstart on his teammates.
Dwight Howard, human surrender flag. Yeah, there's the sort of toughness you want to build a franchise around.

BOISE-- The Boise Hawks bounced back from a tough road trip on Monday, capturing a 5-4 win over Yakima in extra innings. The winning run came in the bottom of the tenth by way of a walk off solo homerun to right field by first baseman Paul Hoilman.
The Hawks trailed by two runs early, but managed to tie the game up at 4-4 in the eighth and force extra innings. Hoilman led the tenth inning off for the Hawks, and ended the game with one swing of his bat. The homerun is Hoilman's third of the season.
The Hawks will host the Bears again on Tuesday night.

Dr. Sanjay Gupta hosts a video on Everyday Health that features the work of NARSAD Grantees Cameron Craddock, Ph.D. and Helen Mayberg, M.D. They discuss how different efforts to identify how depression is linked to malfunctioning in the brain's network will change how people think about depression. By recognizing it as a brain disease, akin to diseases of other organs in the body, advances in research can break down the stigma associated with depression (and other mental illnesses), removing what is often a barrier for people to seek help.
The video starts by introducing the current work of Dr. Craddock, Director of Imaging at the Child Mind Institute and Research Scientist at the Nathan Kline Institute. Dr. Craddock is using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scans to observe brain activity in depressed and non-depressed patients in the part of the brain called the "default network." The default network is more active when the brain is at rest and less active when the brain is engaged in mental activity. Dr. Craddock's theory is that in people with depression, the default network doesn't "turn off" properly when the brain needs to switch from a resting state to engage in some kind of focused activity.
To test his theory, Dr. Craddock uses the fMRI images to observe the blood flow in this default network area when the individuals are prompted to let their minds wander or to focus on completing a task. He does observe a difference―he finds that in the brains of the individuals with depression, the default network remains active even when the individuals are asked to focus on a task. The brain has difficulty shifting to "focus."
Dr. Gupta also discusses the pioneering work of three-time NARSAD Grantee Helen Mayberg, M.D., Professor of Psychiatry, Neurology and Radiology at Emory University School of Medicine. Dr. Mayberg and other neuroscientists have identified a specific region in the brain called the subgenual cingulate as a locus of pathology in depression. Dr. Mayberg has been targeting this area with an experimental treatment called deep brain stimulation. She has been able to successfully treat severely depressed patients who have not responded to other treatments using this technique. This is another example of identifying and treating depression as a disease.
Watch the video by Dr. Sanjay Gupta.
On January 14th Helen Mayberg, M.D. will be hosting a free webinar titled "Deep Brain Stimulation & Depression: A Decade of Progress". Register here.

Will you help promote moving schizophrenia under the NIH-out of SAMHSA-who is functioning out of their "scope of practice" managing complex BRAIN disorders...SAMHSA can only address "mental health"-which is intertwined with ALL physical illness. Schizophrenia is still tragically labeled a "behavioral disorder" or minimized as an illusive "mental health" issue...hasn't there been enough suffering because of this ignorance and judgmental stereotyping?!

Welcome to day 6 of MSTI.com's 2008 season in review. Today, we review left field where we will discuss Juan Pierre, Jason Repko, Terry Tiffee… and some scrub called… I think, Manny?
Manny Ramirez = …
(With LA: .396/.489/.743, 17 HR's, 53 RBI's)
Yes, notice that there is no grade next to Manny's name. Why, you ask? Because no letter grade could ever do Manny justice. Manny just transcends grades, at this point. So, instead, we then have to ask: what is the most beautiful thing you've ever seen in your life? Or perhaps the most beautiful thing that's ever happened? Something that fills your heart with joy and utter happiness?
Perhaps puppies:
Maybe you just won the lottery:
Perhaps you just landed two girls to have a threesome with who will finally love you:
Maybe you just saved hundreds of dollars by switching your car insurance to Geico:
Or maybe you're even like the guys from "Pulp Fiction" after they open the briefcase…
We happy? Vincent? We happy?
Yeah, we happy.
Translate all of this into a grade and, well, there you go; except even that doesn't do it enough justice.
Who the hell are we kidding? After a year and a half of writing articles on this blog, this, by far, has to be the most superfluous article I've ever had to write. I mean, writing an article talking about how awesome Manny Ramirez is and trying to put up stats to prove my argument is like trying to show how crapulicious Andruw Jones was this year. In other words: you don't need ME to tell you, as this is one of the instances where the eyes don't deceive and it's just pretty fucking obvious.
But I'll give it a shot, anyways.
Simply put, if you were able to watch what Manuel Aristides Ramirez did for this team in even the slightest capacity over the past two and a half months, be thankful: for you saw offensive production from a player at a rate at which has never been seen before in Dodger history. His production was historical in that context and also in the sense that we will never likely see what he produced again. But let's not be mistakened: it's not as if the Dodgers haven't had incredible offensive years from players in their prime, from the days of Snider, Garvey, Piazza, Shawn Green, Gary Sheffield, Adrian Beltre in 2004, and other offensive powerhouses in their prime, but this is just another animal.
When he started off with his incredible hot streak the first week and a half, I think it's safe to say that most of us thought that it wouldn't really last. We were wrong. During his stint with the Dodgers, Manny had an OPS+ of 219. Two hundred and fucking nineteen. For those aren't familiar, if you have an OPS+ of 100, that's considered average. What this means is that Manny was 119% better than the average player. That's just freaking insane. In fact, I'm going to show you the rest of the notable statistics not so much to prove an argument moreso than to show just how absurd he was. It's literally comical:
He hit .396, with 17 HR's, and 53 RBI's. O.K., you know that. But how about the fact that he had a 47.6 VORP to rank him 24th in all of baseball? Now "Vin," you might say. "What's so impressive about that?" Well, that's just Manny in L.A. In fact, to compare, Vladimir Guerrero's VORP throughout THE ENTIRE YEAR was 44.3. Aramis Ramirez's was 44.8, Justin Morneau's was 45.5, Miguel Cabrera at 46.8, etc., etc. So Manny's VORP from August 1st throughout the end of the year was better than what these high profile names did the entire year. Relative to other NL left fielders, he only ranks second in VORP to Matt Holliday's 60.4. If we compare this relative to the other Dodgers, only Andre Ethier comes within striking range, with a 39.7 VORP. But remember: we're only comparing two months of Manny to 5-6 months worth of production from the rest of the league. That's what's so mindblowing about this. He made video game numbers look pedestrian.
In terms of MLV, L.A. Manny ranked 11th in all of MLB at 43.9. Again, relative to other left fielders, he only trails Matt Holliday, but this is much closer, with Holliday at 45.0. Ramirez also put up an EqA of .401 and here's the especially absurd part: Manny's RC27 this year was 15.2. What that means is that if there were 9 Manny's in the lineup, the team would score on an average 15.2 runs per game.
Hell, he was even 2 runs above fielding average and had a 106 Rate2 in left field, which is more than adequate. Actually, the above photo might be more pertinent with this than the offense.
But I could go on and on about the stats, but it's rather futile: you KNOW how good he was, we all do. However, what's important to keep in mind is that it's not just what he did at the plate that made these past two months so damn fun. On July 31st, the Dodgers were 54-54 and, frankly, I don't think many (outside of us diehards) cared much about them, nor were we particularly overly optimistic on their chances of a postseason berth. Yes, the acquisition of Casey Blake helped matters, but once Manny arrived, the city of Los Angeles was just electrified. I was fortunate enough to be there the night he debuted and, as I recapped about it, I had never seen Dodger Stadium as alive as it was and once the Dodgers won the final two games of the Arizona series to split, everything changed. The city changed, the team changed and, in many ways, it really was Mannymania (or as he called it: Mannywood).
Having said that, let's not completely get ahead of ourselves and only look at this through the rose colored glasses. I think we're all aware of what brought him to L.A. in the first place and his actions near the end of his tenure in Boston were hardly condonable and, while I do believe that some of this has been overblown since the trade and that he's not 100% to blame, he is not exempt from it either. But at the end of the day, you can argue all you wish about the reasons which caused Manny to leave Boston in the first place, and make some strong arguments against him in terms of how things ended, but what you can't do is use that to take away the impact that he had on the field (and off) for the Dodgers. When the trade was made, I said that its success was contingent on how well the Dodgers did. Well, in retrospect? I can't say this trade was a failure. At all. While the team didn't make the World Series, they accomplished at least the minimum of what they had to do: go deep into the postseason. If you told me at the beginning of the year that we would not only win our first postseason series in 20 years, but also win our first NLCS game in 20 years? I'd be happy (yeah… we happy?). We finally showed some big progress this season (in fact, our biggest in 20 years) and he played a huge, huge role in why that happened and also why this team was so damn fun to watch for the last month and a half. He is really fun to watch on the field and he always looks like he's having a ton of fun, which really makes him infectious, and not in the Jose Lima kind of way. Manny was simply everything we could have hoped for and so much more. He had the best offensive stretch in Dodger history and it's kind of ironic and twisted that one of the other reasons we were able to land him was due to our center fielder having the worst stretch in Dodger history. But even if Manny doesn't come back and jettisons to another team, I will always be thankful to the man for what he brought to the team, to the city, and to all of us. Unforgettable.
Thanks, Manny.
Juan Pierre = D
(.283/.327/.328, 1 HR, 28 RBI's)
So, right after a competition in Spring Training between Pierre and Andre Ethier for the starting left field job, Joe Torre, in a surprising yet rare moment of competence, gave the nod to Ethier and regulated Pierre into the bench role.
Finally! We rid ourselves of the Pierre Man! The Juanster! Herbert! He's sent to the bench in his rightful role and we will go on our merry way throughout the season with the three best outfielders!
Uh… no. If only things were ever that simple in Dodgerville…
After some early season struggles by Matt Kemp and then, of course, the injury to Rafael Furcal, Pierre found himself back in the lineup and, more importantly, eventually back in the leadoff spot, where he would take over for Furcal. Now I know Pierre has become the whipping boy here at MSTI and probably every other Dodgers blog out there since his arrival in L.A., last year. So, with knowing this, why the D? I mean, after all, if our grades have a lot to do on our expectations, what's the deal?
Well, because in 2008, Juan Pierre even had trouble being Juan Pierre.
After being inserted into the leadoff role, in order to bring about more "speed," "experience" and "patience," at least according to his manager, Pierre stepped up with a killer line of .261/.293/.299 in 268 plate appearanes in the leadoff spot. Just to compare, that young, impatient, whippersnapper Matt Kemp in the leadoff spot, this year): .305/.360/.492.
But it's not just Pierre's horrendous lead off skills that took a further dive, this year. In 2008, we saw a decline in nearly every statistic; his .283 average and .327 OBP were his lowest since 2005, while his .328 SLG% and 4.1 RC27 were the lowest totals he's had since 2002. His MLV was a ridiculous -10.1 (which means he costs his team 10.1 more than the average player), a VORP of 1.1, and an EqA of .247, also his lowest since 2002. For a man who will be on the wrong side of 30 next year who has a game that's dependent on speed and has shown a steady decline since his 2003-2004 heyday in Florida… that's not good.
For the sake of not beating a dead horse, I won't rehash the Pierre argument yet again, but even by his own standards, which many supporters of the signing like to point to in terms of what our expectations should be, he failed to meet them. But I will give him props for not at least publicly bitching about getting demoted to the bench… I'm guessing he might have learned from the last time.
Ultimately, Pierre's fate with the Dodgers has a lot to do with what happens with Manny. If Manny re-signs, there's no way Pierre will get the playing time, as Andruw Jones will have first shot at center field and with Andre Ethier and Matt Kemp finally climbing up the depth chart above Pierre, it's in the best interests of the organization and Juan's to just end this relationship. It's not working and, chances are, it's not going to.
Calling Dusty Baker…
Jason Repko = Inc.
(.167/.250/.222, 0 HR's, 0 RBI's)
If there was ever a player who defined the "incomplete grade" for this year, it is Jason Repko. He only came up briefly and had a grand total of 18 AB's. While this is an incredibly small sample size, he looked pretty shitty at the plate, with 9 of those official plate appearances being strikeouts. But, hey, he did have 3 hits. Look out, Mark Sweeney.
On the other hand, the good news for Repko is that after missing 2007, he did come back to put up a solid 2008 season at Triple-A Las Vegas, hitting .283/.373/.449, with 12 HR's and 50 RBI's.
Funny how things change, though. Remember when he got off to that great start in 2005 and some people were calling for him to perhaps be the Rookie Of The Year? Or even the great start he got off to in 2006? Time hasn't been kind to Jason Repko, due to injuries and, well, just not being all that impressive from either side of the spectrum (no, folks, even though Kevin Kennedy might say he's one of the best outfielders in the game, taking a route from left field to Pasadena and then back again to catch it while taking out your shortstop, and then airmailing the throw into the stands does not make a great outfielder).
But, hey, I'll give him a few points for not killing anybody on the team during his brief stint up.
Terry Tiffee = Inc.
(.250/.400/.250, 0 HR's, 0 RBI's)
Actually, I was wrong. Terry Tiffee defines the incomplete grade this year, stringing together a whopping 4 at-bats, this season. Although this hardly describes the year he had in Triple A Las Vegas, where he absolutely destroyed the league by hitting .378/.416/.561 with 9 HR's and 61 RBI's. Sure, these numbers might have come in the PCL, but they're impressive regardless.
Yeah… so that's why after 4 at-bats with the big club, he was DFA'd to make room for Angel Berroa.
Thankfully, he wasn't claimed, but you can add Tiffee to the list of people who should have saw MUCH more playing time than he did in L.A. In fact, with the numbers he was putting up in Las Vegas, perhaps we could have used even a fraction of that coming off the bench, after it increasingly clear that if you're hitting below .100 like Sweeney was then, chances are, you're not very good? I mean, if he didn't work out, then all you replaced was, again… Sweeney.
Wow. What a loss that would have been.
Alas, it wasn't to be, putting an end to one of our more vocal campaigns of the year: Free Terry Tiffee.

Wal-Mart, like any other defendant, is innocent unless proven guilty.
regarding the So-Cal grocery strike, it seems to me that Wal-Mart is being beat up on for looking out for their customers by keeping costs, including employment costs, down in order to keep consumer prices low.
When did this become a bad thing?

Al Harrington close to signing with the Wizards
Free agent combo forward Al Harrington is close to signing with the Washington Wizards, giving the team the "stretch 4″ point guard John Wall has wanted.
Harrington, a free agent who missed almost all of last year to injury and infection, reportedly is in town to take a physical and, assuming he passes it, will sign a contract for the veteran minimum and become a Wizard this week. That would give Washington 15 players under contract, the maximum they are allowed under NBA rules, and just barely below the luxury tax threshold.
The Orlando Magic waived Harrington, 34, earlier in the summer and the Wiz and Harrington have been circling each other ever since. The Wizards traveled to Las Vegas, Nevada to see Harrington work out with Joe Abunassar, one of the most famous trainers in the United States and reportedly came away impressed with what they saw.
Harrington, a late first round draft pick by the Indiana Pacers in 198, played only ten games last season after suffering a staph infection as a result of a botched surgery for torn meniscus in 2012. However, two years ago Harrington averaged 14.5 ppg and 6 rpg for the Denver Nuggets and was a key reserve on that team.
Harrington played very well for the Nuggets, setting a career high in rebound rate, and although Harrington has never been known as a good defender, he improved there as well; Denver gave up 3.3 fewer points per 100 possessions with him on the court and opposing power forwards had just a 13.7 PER against him, according to 82games.com. He also scored better than a point every two minutes for Denver.
Harrington is a career 35% shooter from 3-point range, so while he's not a deadeye shooter, he should be able to pull defenses out, giving Wall and fellow guard Bradley Beal the opportunity to penetrate and create in the lane.
What does a Harrington signing mean for the rest of the roster? Well, assuming Harrington gets the bulk of his minutes backing up Nene, that would mean nothing good for forwards Trevor Booker, Jan Vesely and, perhaps, Kevin Seraphin. Booker and Vesely get most of their minutes at power forward, but those minutes will probably disappear with Harrington on the team. Seraphin can still back up Emeka Okafor, but he would also probably not play much at the 4 anymore either.

The grant by U.S. Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) is from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and arrives at a time when the city and Washoe County are in the midst of a divorce of regional fire districts.
Talks between the county and the city to create a Joint Powers Agreement broke down. No further discussions are scheduled. The county is expected to stand up its own fire district by combining Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District and Sierra Fire Protection District by July 1, a date that some find may be unrealistic.
The county's move was expected to immediately cost 80 Reno firefighters their jobs, but city staff and administration quickly went to work to find a way to save those jobs, said Cashell.
"We had to go out and protect our citizens and that's what we did," Cashell told the Daily Sparks Tribune following the press conference. "And so we were able to set it up for two years.
"I'm just as happy as I can be. We had to start working to take care of our side. It's a great day," Cashell said.

Large doses of vitamin E may help normalize retinal blood flow problems and improve kidney function in people with diabetes, according to researchers at the Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston.
According to the August issue of Diabetes Care, retinal blood flow increased to a near-normal rate and kidney function also improved in type 1s who took 1,800 IU of vitamin E.
Researchers randomly assigned 36 patients with type 1 diabetes and nine nondiabetic control subjects to 1,800 IU of vitamin E per day or a placebo for four months. The vitamin E was natural d-tocopherol acetate dissolved in edible vegetable oil. The placebo contained soybean oil. The subjects then switched pills for an additional four months. Practitioners were unaware which group had the real thing.
Dr. George L. King of Joslin reports that after four months, retinal blood flow was significantly increased in type 1 patients after vitamin E treatment. He adds that vitamin E treatment decreased creatinine levels and normalized kidney function in type 1 patients. He says that HbA1c was not affected by the vitamin E dosage in type 1 patients.
"What we found is that a low dose of vitamin E is an antioxidant," King says. "Higher doses have the ability to inhibit enzymes that are involved in diabetic complications."
Sixty Times the Recommended Daily Allowance
In an editorial accompanying the report, Dr. Sushil K. Jain of the Louisiana State University Medical School in Shreveport says that the dosage of vitamin E used in the study was 60 times greater than the recommended daily allowance of 30 IU per day, and that not much is known about potential problems that could arise from such a high level.
On a similar note, Vincent Curry of Cannon Beach, Oregon, says that he took 400 IU per day of vitamin E for about six months and developed swelling and blisters on his lower legs. When he stopped taking the high dosage, the swelling and blisters went away.
"We didn't see anything like that in our studies," says King, who recommends that people with type 1 diabetes take 500 to 700 IU of vitamin E per day.
Vitamin E and Type 2 Diabetes
In a previous study conducted on people with type 2 diabetes, researchers at Sant' Anna Hospital in Como, Italy, discovered that vitamin E supplementation could aid in the prevention of mild to moderate peripheral neuropathy in individuals with type 2 diabetes. According to the November 1998 issue of Diabetes Care, patients receiving 900 IU per day of vitamin E for six months demonstrated increased motor nerve velocity when compared to a placebo.
Larger Study Needed
King admits that a larger clinical study is needed to further explore the benefits of vitamin E in people with type 1 diabetes. However, he says, since vitamin E is not patentable, most private drug companies will not sponsor this type of study.
"Nobody wants to sponsor a $430 million drug trial if they can't patent the drug themselves," says King. "If we run a large study, we can determine whether a trial is needed. Then, we can recommend what vitamin E dose to take, and can conclude that large doses of vitamin E are beneficial to the eyes and kidneys of people with type 1 diabetes."
Jane DeMouy, deputy director of the communications office at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) confirms that King has spoken with NIH staff about the possibility of a trial, and says he was encouraged to apply for a grant to fund further studies in an animal model.
"As I understand it, the data he has involved very small numbers so [the NIH] wanted to see something more definitive," says DeMouy. "That would be the usual process for seeking funding to demonstrate the efficacy of a treatment. His study would then be subject to the same scrutiny that any other study is subject to."
25 Pounds of Cereal a Day
King recommends getting the vitamin E you need from a supplement.
"You can't get these high amounts of vitamin E from a diet, unless you eat 5 pounds of wheat germ or 25 pounds of cereal a day," says King, "There is the L type of vitamin E and the D type. Only D appears to be potent. The L form is not active, whereas D is. When you buy it in the store, it is mainly a mixture of the two."

Clear the Way to Better Health: Your Medical Test Guide

- When You Should Get Tested More Often
8 Medical Tests Every Woman Needs
Make a mental checklist of all the things you do to keep yourself healthy. It's a good bet you thought of your workouts, your good-for-you diet and maybe even a daily vitamin. Great! But if keeping up with medical tests isn't on your list of healthy behaviors, you're falling into the mistake that many fit women make: thinking regular exercise plus smart nutrition exempts you from getting routine exams. To truly keep your body healthy, here's what you need to know.TEST: Pap Smear
WHO TO SEE: Gynecologist
WHY: Collecting cells from the cervix during a pelvic exam is the best way to tell if your cervix is healthy -- cell changes can lead to cervical cancer.
HOW OFTEN: Starting at age 21, most women need to be screened every other year or less, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Once you turn 30 -- and you've had three consecutive negative tests and no abnormal history -- you can get it done once every three years.
WHO TO SEE: Gyno or general practitioner (GP)
WHY: She can feel or see abnormalities in breast tissue, skin and nipples that can indicate cancer.
HOW OFTEN: At least once every three years in your twenties and thirties. But if you want to be checked more frequently, simply ask. After age 40, go yearly.
WHO TO SEE: Dermatologist
WHY: She can ID weirdly shaped moles or other growths that might be cancerous or precancerous.
HOW OFTEN: Get new or changed growths assessed ASAP. If you're a current or recovering tanning-bed or sun lover, are fair or dotted with moles or freckles or have a family history of skin cancer, see the derm twice a year. If not, go annually.
FAST FACT: Derms are better at diagnosing melanomas than primary-care docs, finds a recent study. The result of better screening? Higher survival rates.
WHO TO SEE: Audiologist or certified speech-language pathologist
WHY: Peppering conversations with "Say that again?" is a real problem for the more than 12 percent of people in their twenties and thirties who already have some form of hearing loss, according to a recent study.
HOW OFTEN: Once every 10 years until age 50, then every three years.
WHO TO SEE: Your GP
WHY: Up-to-date vaccinations protect you from all sorts of diseases, including some you thought went the way of the dinosaur, such as whooping cough.
HOW OFTEN: At your next physical, have your M.D. review your vaccination history. Some inoculations become less effective over time, so you may need a booster. For example, tetanus shots are vital every 10 years, no rusty nails required.
FAST FACT: One in eight U.S. adults surveyed say they are too busy to get a vaccination, reports the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases.
WHO TO SEE: Your GP
WHY: The higher it is, the greater your chance of having heart disease, a stroke or kidney damage.
HOW OFTEN: Once every two years if it's 120/80 or below. If you've already been diagnosed with hypertension -- or your doc says you're at risk -- measure your BP at home regularly, too. (We like digital cuffs that do all the work for you, like those from omronhealthcare.com.)
FAST FACT: In the U.S., about one in eight women ages 20 to 44 has high blood pressure. Taking the Pill, pregnancy and being overweight can up your risk.
WHO TO SEE: Your GP
WHY: High cholesterol means higher risk for heart disease. You want total cholesterol under 200 mg/dL; LDL (bad cholesterol) under 100 mg/dL; HDL (good stuff) 60 mg/dL or more; and triglycerides under 150 mg/dL.
HOW OFTEN: At least once every five years, starting at age 20.
WHO TO SEE: Your GP
WHY: Pick a disease, any disease: Chances are, being overweight puts you at an elevated risk. Your M.D. should weigh you and calculate your body-mass index, the measurement of your weight relative to your height.
HOW OFTEN: Yearly. And if you're looking to shed pounds, weigh yourself once a week at home and visit your physician monthly to help track your progress.

We adopted our cat from The New Haven Animal Shelter in July 2003, and named her Seabiscuit - in honor of the gritty, brave, and quirky equine hero. Seabiscuit, a five-year-old calico cat, had just weaned her beautiful litter of five at the shelter and was looking for a home. As a longtime volunteer at the shelter, I was aware of PetCare's excellent insurance program for shelter animals and decided to get it for our new Biscuit. In retrospect, I am very glad I did. Shortly after we brought her home, Biscuit was diagnosed with asthma - then only a few months later, mammary cancer. She is doing very well now and her prognosis is excellent. But throughout her illnesses, it was tremendously reassuring to know that PetCare was there to help. When I called for information, your staff was always courteous and sensitive. And PetCare's reimbursement was fast and simple! The Biscuit and I thank you for the peace-of-mind.Client: Marsha Rabe Pet: Seabiscuit, Domestic Shorthair Condition: Asthma, Mammary Cancer
