Morphy's names head of new pop culture department
DENVER, Pa. – Morphy Auctions' Antique & Vintage Toy division is in expansion mode yet again. Dan Morphy, founder and president of Morphy Auctions, announced today that Tom Miano of Serious Toyz™ has joined the Pennsylvania company's team of specialists. Miano, whose new title is Pop Culture Expert, will be acquiring consignments and managing sales of vintage toys and pop-culture collectibles for Morphy's, starting with a September 6 auction of character, postwar and space toys.
"Tom's auction house, Serious Toyz™, is a favorite with collectors. They love it. In the 19
years that Tom has been the hands-on owner and operator of the company, he has built an outstanding reputation," said Morphy. "He's well liked by everyone in the industry, and consignors know they can depend on his knowledge and expertise. He will be a tremendous asset to our operation."
The addition of a dedicated pop culture department completes the timeline of toys and collectibles offered in specialty sales at Morphy's, which is already a worldwide force in the auction of antique, prewar vintage, and postwar boomer-era toys.
Until now, the only toy classification at Morphy's that didn't have its own expert-led department was pop culture and collectibles, said Morphy. "Now, with Tom Miano and Serious Toyz™ merging into Morphy's, it adds the final link we have been missing. Even better, it eliminates the job of building a new department organically from the ground up. It has already been built and fine-tuned by Tom, who is the best in the business. He has many consignors and customers that we didn't have on our books, and vice versa. One side complements the other very nicely," Morphy said.
Miano, who graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the School of Visual Arts in New York City, began his career as an advertising art director at Foote, Cone & Belding. He later held creative director positions at several other leading international advertising agencies, including McCann-Erickson, J. Walter Thompson, and Ogilvy & Mather. In 1995, Miano decided to leave the corporate world in order to pursue his long-held dream of establishing an auction company focused exclusively on toys, collectibles and pop culture memorabilia.
"Starting up and building Serious Toyz™ into what it is today was a learning process from day one," Miano said. "In the beginning, my wife Patti and I did everything manually, with sheets of paper taped to our kitchen wall. Every time a bid would come in over the phone, we'd add it to the sheet of paper for that particular auction item. Of course, over the years our methods became a lot more sophisticated, but it's nothing compared to the amazing operation Dan has in place at Morphy's. The first time I visited his gallery, it was like finding the Promised Land. I feel very privileged to have been asked to join his team."
Morphy Auctions' strength in technology and social media is a natural fit for the Serious Toyz™ demographic, Miano said. "To reach a global audience, the company utilizes four Internet live-bidding platforms, including its own, Morphy Live. They're ideally positioned to interact with pop culture collectors worldwide."
Tom Miano is currently organizing toy consignments for Morphy's September 6 auction, which was previously advertised as Serious Toyz™ Auction #56. To contact Tom Miano, call the business number previously used by Serious Toyz™: 866-653-8699, or email email@example.com.

It seems the Virginia Association of Realtors and Virginia Association of Counties have been hard at work on Transfer of Development Rights … they've even developed a model ordinance (PDF).
What is a TDR? From The NAR's Field Guide to Transfer of Development Rights (TDRs) (bolding mine)
The quest for controlled growth requires creative planning and foresight. Transfer of development rights (TDR) is just one tool used in the battle to contain sprawl . TDR is the exchange of zoning privileges from areas with low population needs, such as farmland, to areas of high population needs, such as downtown areas. These transfers allow for the preservation of open spaces and historic landmarks, while giving urban areas a chance to expand and experience continued growth. …. (K. Swanson, Information Specialist)
The TDR concept is far too complex to be encapsulated in one (or six) blog posts; it's a tool that could affect growth management and grown in the Charlottesville and Albemarle region.
A much-too-simplistic definition of TDRs – selling development rights from rural areas into a "receiving area" which is ostensibly in the "growth area" and effectively downzoning and preserving rural areas.
The City of Charlottesville, County of Albemarle and various local special interest groups such as ASAP, PEC, and others have been working on and discussing TDRs for years.
From Charlottesville Tomorrow:
While the idea of TDR may be fairly new to the Charlottesville-Albemarle community, the concept has been in practice for about 40 years. The rate of success has varied widely between communities. Pruetz's and Standridge's evaluation of the factors that differentiate the successful programs from those that have not been able to meet their stated goals could help local leaders determine whether Charlottesville-Albemarle has the right conditions and aspirations for a successful TDR program.
Albemarle County Supervisor Dennis Rooker (Jack Jouett) has said that in his own research he was not able to find any well-functioning TDR program that did not also include a down-zoning.
The work group was fairly diverse – attorneys from all over. 🙂
We've discussed TDRs on RealCentalVA a few times over the years. The bill that enabled it passed in 2008. The above-referenced code of the Commonwealth of Virginia is here.

This question is currently one of the hottest questions and topics in education. Prof. Dr. Tanja Bipp and two of her PhD students and researchers from other faculties of the University of Wuerzburg are currently working on exactly this question. Prof. Bipp and her team are particularly focusing on the effect of digitalization on individual employees in small and medium sized companies. The focus is narrowed down on especially white-collar workers – people working in offices – and generations that are in the labor market today, which have not been growing up with new technologies for most parts, in contrast to digital natives. Part 1 of the project concentrates on the demand of certain skills and competencies that employees need, dealing with new technologies and how they can be built and develop sustainably. Prof. Bipp and her team are currently working on a model and a scientific approach to measure and improve necessary digital competencies. What can be pointed out so far is that there are critical competences that will be necessary for all occupations. Along with that, there is a series of specific skills and competences needed for individual occupations. As the project is still in progress, there are already some interesting results (support what we know from a scientific approach perspective). Besides the need for ICT competences, one very important skill will be critical thinking and the evaluation of complex information (2).
Part 2 of the project focusses on "job design". How can people be supported in future working environments and which resources are needed? New technologies can be resources that can support and shape the work-life of tomorrow. Job crafting is dealing with the question, what people can do themselves to design and adapt and shape the workplace of the future, and therefore adjust the job according to their personal needs and interests (3). This includes tasks (e.g., looking for challenges, reducing demands at work), relationships (e.g., seeking for social support), and cognitive aspects.
For example, people could choose to focus on some tasks more than others. Of course, this setup needs a special coordination, as there is always work that has to be done and the selections of employees are interdependent. From a mental or mindset perspective, the concept tries to create awareness that the job someone is doing has an impact on others and society. This field of research started in a hospital environment. Here, the cleaning personal had two specific views about their jobs. First, some saw it as "I'm getting paid to clean here". Second, there was a group of employees who saw their job as making an important contribution to the main goal of a hospital – helping patients becoming healthy. This example shows that it is important how people see their jobs and the impacts they have on others (4). In the context of the current research project, Prof. Bipp and her team are trying to apply the concept of job crafting to development and implications of digitalization transformation and support people in crafting their jobs in a positive way.
It becomes obvious, that job crafting and the adaption on work to a new (digital) environment affords a change in peoples' (and organizations') mindsets – keys to success and performance are passion, lifelong-learning, networks, and awareness for the impact of individuals' contribution. Consequently, the concept of job crafting is an interesting approach that has the power to improve sustainably performance and satisfaction in the working environment of the future.
Sidenote: The approach, that companies have started to give workers resources and time to do own project is very closely related to the research of job crafting. Why do companies do that and why is it not a waste of valuable resources? Research and practical examples have shown, that when employees are given time to do whatever they want for their personal interest, most of the time companies also benefit (in-)directly (i.e., win-win situation). This might lead to another aspect of performance called "organizational citizenship behavior" – people contributing to the team and to the success of the organization, on top of what is officially expected from their job descriptions.
People spend a huge share of their life-time at work. Work and health are therefore deeply connected.
There has been a long research tradition in IO Psychology on work motivation and occupational health. Recently these topics have been combined because people realized they are interconnected. A prominent model with regard to stress and health issues in IO psychology is about the balance of job demands and resources, summarized in the Job-Demands-Resources Model (5). On the one side, there are different demands – physical demands (for example in the hospital, lifting patient) and cognitive or emotional demands (working in a hospital with patients that are dying, lot of information causing a "cognitive overload"). In practice, people need resources to deal with these different facets of demands and create a balance between demands and resources. If employees do not have enough resources, this has a negative impact on their health. This leads to symptoms of being burned out and sick and the consequence that employees are not able to attend work. Therefore, when we people are equipped with enough resources or even extra resources, this leads to a positive effect on health and motivation.
Technology and digital transformation have the potential to provide "novel resources" and therefore support people and occupational health. For instance, there are robots that are working together with people, e.g. support lifting heavy objects. Sensors can be used to monitor mental and physical stress. VR or AR technologies can be used to train and practice critical tasks – for instance medicine students can train operations several times before they become doctors and work on humans. Besides all challenges and obstacles, we should not be afraid of technology. There are a lot of opportunities and up-sides and therefore useful resources that can sustainably support occupational health.
Technological progress and digital change lead to a faster pace of the economy, shorter innovation, and learning cycles. Lifelong-learning is essential – for employees to keep their spot on the labor market and for organizations to stay competitive. A university or vocational degree is not the end – organizations need to stimulate employees to learn continuously. A major question for organizations is, how to stimulate the intrinsic motivation of learning of their employees? By that, we don't mean necessarily official and formal learning programs that most companies already have. The question is, how do you motivate people to use resources, think for themselves and outside the box. In this process, employees need support from the organization. Learning goals that focus on a mastery experience (see Episode 21 of the podcast) are a powerful instrument for organizations and leaders to foster and stimulate motivation for learning. Along with that, it is essential to set learning goals and prepare a transfer to action. It is important to learn and reflect, what can I make out of that, how can I apply this idea in my daily work, what can I do differently and how can I transfer knowledge into practice? Again, there is no "one-size fits all solution".
What sounds easy, really affords a mind shift.
These concepts need to be lived and practiced continuously – if done correctly, they offer interesting opportunities.

Parked Domains in Shared Hosting
When you buy a shared hosting plan from our company, you'll be able to register as many domain names as you want and park them with a couple of clicks via your Hepsia hosting CP. By using our feature-rich Domain Manager instrument, you can choose from several templates and add your own text to any one of them. If you prefer to forward a domain name, all it takes is to type the URL, save it, and you'll be all set. You are able to un-park a domain and host it in your account just as easily and our system will do all the needed changes - update the domain address servers, set up DNS records for it, create a domain folder in the File Manager area of your account, etc. In case you have a huge number of domain names registered using our company, you'll be able to use a filter and see just the parked or only the hosted ones for simpler administration. Considering you could park a domain name only with the registrar company, you can use this feature only for domains that are registered through us, but not through another provider.

In a highly visual world where 'the media' represents specific body types it might be difficult for certain people to build self-esteem. Certain groups might be more susceptible to this, such as teenagers, as their need to belong and fit in might be stronger.
Mental health
Self-perception influences one's mental health. This relationship has been studied by researchers before. They found a link between how one perceived their weight status and depressive symptoms (1). This effect was also found to be stronger for women.
However, this does not mean that men do not deal with body image issues. In an article from 2004, researchers looked at body dissatisfaction among college men. They found that the men judged themselves to be fatter than they actually were. Though, these men also perceived themselves to be more muscular than they were. Though, they pointed out that they would like to be more muscular than they actually are. The researchers speculate that men are under more pressure to be more muscular due to contemporary media pressures. In this study, females were also asked to describe their preferred body type for males. The findings of the study highlights a discrepancy between what women want and what men think women want. Men assumed women want a man who is much leaner and muscular than the women in the study indicated (2).
'Elastic' body image
Researchers have created different models of body image. An article from 1992 describes a model that considers women's body image, which is influenced by content on TV. This model contains different body images, including: society's deal body, the internalized ideal body, current body image, and the objective body shape. To test their model, female participants were asked to watch specific imagery. The perception of one's own body can change after being exposed to only half an hour of television (3).

Katharine's Northeast Climate Impacts Assessment
Katharine Hayhoe runs ATMOS Research & Consulting, a company that carries out climate change related research. In collaboration withe the Union of Concerned Scientists, they helped to produce the Northeast Climate Impacts Assessment in 2007. (The Northeast in this case covered New England, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, although the NCDC generally includes Delaware and Maryland as well).
The study made some wild claims about temperature rises of up to 14F by 2100, no doubt predicated on similarly unrealistic increases in global temperatures. However, I am more interested in the claims about changes that have already been occurring.
Changes consistent with global warming are already under way across
the Northeast. Since 1970, the region has been warming at a rate of nearly
0.5oF per decade. Winter temperatures have risen even faster, at a rate of
1.3oF per decade from 1970 to 2000. This warming has been correlated
with many noticeable changes across the Northeast, including:
• More frequent extreme-heat days (maximum temperatures greater than 90°F)
• A longer growing season
• Earlier leaf and bloom dates for plants
• Shifts in the mating cycles of frogs to earlier in the year
• Earlier migration of Atlantic salmon in northeastern rivers
• An increase in heavy rainfall events
• Earlier breakup of winter ice on lakes and rivers
• Earlier spring snowmelt resulting in earlier high spring river flows
• Less precipitation falling as snow and more as rain
• Rising sea surface temperatures and sea level
• Reduced snowpack and increased snow density
But how do these claims stand to critical analysis? Experienced Hayhoe watchers will, of course, immediately be suspicious when they see 1970 used as the base point for temperature trends, as the NCDC graph below shows.
Annual Temperature
Northeast Region
Annual 1911 – 2010 Trend = 0.07 degF / Decade
1970 was in the middle of a much colder interval, but the trend over the last 100 years shows only a minor increase of 0.07F/decade, nothing like the alarmist 0.50F/decade, which is used as proof of global warming. The trend since 1931 is much smaller still, amounting to just 0.02F/decade.
What about the "extreme heat" days, that the Report claims to be more frequent? To check this out, I have selected three rural USHCN stations in Maine, New York and Pennsylvania to look at in more detail, Millinocket, Elmira and Uniontown. One of the graphs on NOAA's website shows the distribution of daily maximum temperatures year by year at each station, as below.
It is clearly nonsense to pretend that there is any trend to more frequent days over 90F, or, for that matter in the percentile distribution. Another useful way to look at maximum temperatures is shown below for Uniontown.
Bearing in mind that the scale for the left hand graph (1931-40) goes up to 110F instead of 100F, it is clear that there were many more days above 90F in the 1930's (and indeed days above 100F).
As there has been virtually no warming since the 1930's, I am thoroughly confident that todays frogs are doing pretty much what their granddaddies did 80 years ago.
Tomorrow we'll see whether the claims about rain and snow stand up to scrutiny. (No prizes for guessing the answer).

Katherine and the UCS! Fits well! Pathological science at its finest!
grayman permalinkDecember 29, 2011 5:09 am
Cherrypicking at its finest. I wonder if she still stands behind that assessment. Stupid question with all the crap she spouts from Lubbock now. I have lived in Austin since 1972 and not much change anywhere.

Continuity mistake: In Schreck's department store, when Catwoman is doing her cartwheels, her heels collapse. (00:53:40)
Continuity mistake: When the Penguin is looking out of the barred sewer hole, from an inside shot we see the penguin holding two bars, and in between the bars he is holding are two bars. In the next shot, there are four bars in between. (00:06:05)

Continuity mistake: When Selina returns home from work she takes milk out of the fridge and pours her cat some, leaving the carton on the worktop. She then runs to work, and when she returns after being changed to 'catwoman', the milk has vanished from the worktop. The dishes also move and plant pots appear on the window sill. (00:22:50 - 00:28:45)
Continuity mistake: When Selina retrieves her papers from the floor, she places them in a disorderly pile beside the clown. In the shot when she zaps the clown with the taser, the papers have changed position and are stacked neatly. (00:15:55)
Continuity mistake: The rubble and debris from the piece of wall which Batman tore from the wall, which lies beside the clown, differs between shots, and so does the clowns position. (00:15:50)
Continuity mistake: When Selina becomes enraged and trashes her apartment, she grabs a frying pan off of the oven hob, which was not there previously, when she entered her apartment. (00:28:40)

Continuity mistake: Max's big outer coat and his patterned scarf suddenly disappear between shots, when he leads the Penguin over to his image consultants. (00:48:45)
Continuity mistake: When Max is walking up to Selina from behind, we see her flipping through files, and she puts the paper back down into the drawer. In the very next closeup she's suddenly looking at another file. (00:24:25)
Revealing mistake: In the final scene where the Penguin's corpse is dragged in the water by the other penguins, as he's immersed in, a sort of black mat floats away from the body, which was used to make the body drag easily.
Continuity mistake: After Max Schrek throws some of the presents out to the crowd, when it cuts back, between shots a large green present on the top of the pile vanishes. (00:09:55)

Continuity mistake: As Selina is about to make her cat suit, she grabs a pair of blue handled scissors, yet in the next shot they're pink. (00:31:05)
Continuity mistake: Selina dumps her coat, scarf and bag on the sofa seat when she gets home. In another shot the coat and scarf have changed position, and the bag is gone. (00:22:30)

Here's a simple idea to take your sensory play with materials like rice or pasta up a notch. I've read about versions of this game using Kool-Aid powder, but since I'm leery of a few of the ingredients in Kool-Aid, I wondered if I could copy the method with natural paint powders. The result wasn't quite as vibrant as Kool-Aid… but that's probably a good thing!
Set-up is a little messy. If your child is under 3, you're probably going to need to do most of the work, although I let Travis sit in on the action. Place about 1 cup rice in large zip-top freezer bags, making as many portions as you want colors. Add 1 to 2 teaspoons paint powder to each bag. Travis did enjoy this part, so I didn't mind a little mess!
Add 1 teaspoon rubbing alcohol to each bag, then seal the bags and let your toddler shake or knead to incorporate the color.
Transfer the colored rice to a foil-lined baking sheet. Note: you may want to separate each color with a strip of foil as well, until they are dry. Let dry overnight.
The next morning, it's exploration time! I poured the rice into a bin for Travis, and he was amazed to see colors instead of plain white. First we explored the rice by hand.
Then of course it was time to mix them all together!
Travis would fill a smaller container and then dump it back into the larger bin, talking about the colors as they poured. Overall, the game was a nice variation, since regular rice has become old-hat around here.

The Umsiyat series of performances draws inspiration from the concept of universality, which was born in the Arab world and put into words for the first time in the 14th century by the great historian Ibn Khaldun.
The programme concept emphasises and celebrates common threads and patterns surpassing boundaries of time and space, and translating the essence of the concept of universality. Each concert intends to transcend the definition of cross cultural understanding to create a poetic dialogue reflecting the diversity of the emirate of Abu Dhabi and echoing the welcoming traditions of the Arab world.
The Umsiyat series 2019 combine music from Syria and Azerbaijan with some of the world's most renowned musicians and artists. All concerts are held at the Cultural Foundation- Amphitheatre in Abu Dhabi. Featuring Waed Bouhassoun and Mugham Soul, the two concerts endeavour to mix different musical traditions and modern tunes. Details of the third concert will be announced shortly.
The season is held under the patronage of Her Highness Sheikha Shamsa bint Hamdan Al Nahyan, the Emirates Red Crescent President's Assistant for Women's Affairs.

If you're looking for a reunion with Walter White and Jesse Pinkman, you'll have to get your fix on Netflix.
Even though AMC's upcoming drama Better Call Saul will feature some familiar Breaking Bad faces, its dynamic duo will not appear in the prequel's first season.
"In the spirit of full disclosure, Walt and Jesse will not appear in Season 1," showrunner Peter Gould said Saturday at the Television Critics Association winter press tour in Pasadena. "We want this to stand on its own. We don't want to mislead people into something that's not going to happen. But having said that, everything else is on the table."
The spinoff takes place six years before the events of Breaking Bad, when lawyer Saul Goodman — known as Jimmy McGill — is hustling to make ends meet. Bob Odenkirk reprises the titular character, as does Jonathan Banks in the role of fixer Mike Ehrmantraut.
A few words come to mind when thinking of Saul — corrupt? slimy? — but Gould asserts that Jimmy has a very different personality in the prequel.
"You're remembering what a slippery, two-faced, unethical guy Saul Goodman was on Breaking Bad. What we found is that wasn't the guy we were starting with," he said. "There's a lot of nuance to his ethics."
Showrunner Vince Gilligan echoed Gould's sentiment: "It's an interesting examination of, 'Why are we good? Why do we choose to be good?' The fun and challenge for us is exploring those things and learning about them as we do."
Given that the events of Breaking Bad unfolded rather briskly, Gilligan and Gould said they may take a different approach to storytelling with Saul.
"We have a history with these characters, so we've given ourselves the freedom to go back and forth in time," Gould said.
Gilligan added: "Walt had cancer, and he didn't know how much time he had. By necessity, that show had very accelerated storytelling. We don't have that issue with Jimmy McGill."
All told, Gilligan does feel some pressure to live up to Breaking Bad's standards — but he's not letting that stop him.
"This is certainly a risk, and I was scared the whole time," Gilligan said. "I don't know if the world's going to like this thing, but I really do. It is a godd-mn good show, in my opinion."
Better Call Saul will debut on Sunday, Feb. 8 at 10/9c, with Episode 2 airing Feb. 9 in the show's regular, Mondays-at-10 time slot.

In an AMD investors presentation yesterday a new roadmap was revealed. The full slide deck from the presentation is available here (PDF link). Much of it is a recap on AMD's progress and strategy but on page six you will find a slide entitled '2019 AMD Client Lineup' which fleshes out 2019 with regard to processor launches.
As you can see above, there are three significant launches going forward into 2019 that will maintain AMD's processor momentum. Very soon we expect the 2nd Gen Ryzen Pro Mobile processors to launch. It is expected that these processors will be closely related to the non-Pro models and thus be built upon the Zen+ microarchitecture with Vega graphics. Like previous Pro generations, the 2nd Gen Pro Mobile models should add security features, and offer greater reliability and manageability.
Next in the roadmap for 2019 we see that AMD has confirmed the 3rd Gen Ryzen desktop processors for "mid-year". These are very interesting to enthusiasts as they will come packing the Zen 2 microarchitecture fabbed at 7nm by TSMC. We recently saw a range of Ryzen 3000 desktop CPUs listed by Singapore retailer, with pricing, but with AMD's restatement of a mid-summer launch I think that price list editor has just be 'having a laugh' by including that widely reported model name and pricing data.
At what appears to be a later time in 2019 the 3rd gen Threadripper processors will launch. These processors could feature up to 64-cores - matching the core counts of the 2nd Gen EPYC range. Sadly the 3rd gen Threadripper launch window is wide open, all that seems to be confirmed is we will see these in H2 2019.
AMD seemed quite excited that the EPYC server processors, codenamed Rome, are coming out in 2019 too.

What Are Examples of Analog Devices?
Examples of widely used analog devices include telephones, record players and tape recorders. An analog device is a piece of hardware that simulates the physical quantities of a variable signal.
Many older telephone systems are digital and analog hybrids. The digital portion is used to translate phone numbers into data that allows telephone systems to route the phone calls to their destinations. The analog portion of the telephone, however, converts the audio part of the phone call into electronic pulses that are passed along the telephone line, where they are reconverted into the audio that the other user hears.
The conversion of audio into transmittable signals is also the key behind both record players and tape recorders. For record players, the audio is converted into physical bumps and grooves on a record's surface. These physical variations are picked up by a needle on a record player and passed onto an amplified diaphragm that vibrates, recreating the audio that was recorded.
Tape recorders work in much the same way, converting audio into quantities of magnetism that is recorded onto magnetic tape. When the tape is played back, the magnetic data is converted to electrical current sent to a set of speakers, where the changing vibration of the speakers recreate the recorded sounds.

Hanser Alberto, SS/3B, Rangers (Low-A Hickory)
When I visited the Rangers minor league camp this spring, they were playing a pair of games with their Low- and High-A squads about 20 feet from each other. With one of the best systems in baseball, including a plethora of expensive draft picks and big ticket international signings, it was an impressive display of expensive talent, but it was Alberto who stole the show, as he just barreled everything. I hadn't even heard of him, but I got a quick primer from Jason Parks, who thinks he can hit, and that seems to be the universal opinion. That's with good reason as after eight hits over the weekend, including four on Sunday, the 19-year-old Dominican is now hitting .369/.396/.476 while seeing time at both left-side infield positions. It's always fun to see the big name players, but it's equally good to find new names as well.
Jackie Bradley, OF, Red Sox (High-A Salem)
Bradley entered last spring with hopes of being a single digit pick, but nothing went right in his final year at South Carolina, as he struggled to hit with a case of draft-itis, and then his season was cut short by a wrist injury. His previous performance was strong enough to land him in the supplemental first-round and earn him a big bonus at $1.1 million, which looks like a bargain so far. With four more hits and two more walks over the weekend, Bradley is hitting a monstrous .370/.479/.493 in 20 games with 17 walks and eight stolen bases in nine attempts. He's not a big tools guy, with just average speed, but he's an on-base machine who can play center field, which is a rare combination.
Andrew Chafin, LHP, Diamondbacks (High-A Visalia)
Not that the Diamondbacks need more impressive arms, but Chafin is beginning to generate so big buzz in the California League. A supplemental first-round pick last June, Chafin was a potential first-rounder before some late-season arm issues, and when combined with a Tommy John surgery in his past and some violence in his delivery, he'll always have some red flags. What he also has is excellent stuff, with a slightly above-average fastball that sits in the low 90s and a wipeout slider that some scouts put a 70 grade on. He struck out a career-high 12 on Saturday, and he's been missing bats all year, with 45 in 27 2/3 innings to go with a 2.28 ERA in five starts. The Double-A Mobile rotation is already one of the best in baseball, and Chafin could be joining them soon.
Billy Hamilton, SS, Reds (High-A Bakersfield)
Having fun yet? You should be. Hamilton has been hot all year, but he kicked it up a notch over the past week, going 13-for-28 with 15 stolen bases in his last seven games. That's not a typo: Fifteen. Now hitting .398/.481/.591 in 23 games with 29 stolen bases, scouts say this is more than just some California League mirage, as they see a much improved swing that is conducive to a high average to go with being the fastest player in the game. Get excited folks, this is looking very real.
Miles Head, 3B/1B, Athletics (High-A Stockton)
Head has a lot going against him. Acquired from Boston as part of the Andrew Bailey deal, Head's not really a third baseman, he showed up to camp in well short of ideal shape, and at six-foot and 220 (or so) pounds, he's a short, stocky right-right guy who doesn't exactly fit an ideal physical profile. With all that out of the way, what Head really can do is hit. After pounding out nine total bases on Saturday—including his sixth home run of the year—Head added two more on Sunday and is now hitting .368/.390/.716 in 23 games. Again, he's a first-base only guy with a weird profile, so far now, he's intriguing.
Hak-Ju Lee, SS, Rays (Double-A Montgomery)
Lee had a breakout year in 2010, but it was mitigated a bit by an ugly final month's showing at Double-A. Those struggles continued at the beginning of 2012, but he seems to have found his stroke; with two-hit games on Saturday and Sunday, he's now 12-for-25 in his last six games to lift his averages up to a more respectable .248/.315/.327. To be certain, Lee needs to hit. He has below average power and, while he has good plate discipline, he's not exactly a walk machine, so much of his value revolves around his batting average and plus speed. Any offensive production will make Lee quite valuable, as he's not just a true shortstop, but a good one. Again, he needs to hit.
Francisco Lindor, SS, Indians (Low-A Lake County)
When I saw Lindor play in person on Monday, it just felt like seeing something special, and it's starting to show up on the stat sheet. After a 6-for-12 weekend extended his five-game hit streak to an 11-for-21 run, Lindor is now hitting .314/.369/.451 in 23 games with two home runs and eight stolen bases. All that comes with impressive defense, and at an age that fits more with this year's high school draftees, as Lindor doesn't turn 19 until November. Special, indeed.
Nick Maronde, LHP, Angels (High-A Inland Empire)
Maronde got to the third round of last year's draft as a reliever, but he has the frame and the arsenal to start, and he had his best outing of the year on Friday, striking out 12 over seven shutout innings while allowing just three hits and needing just 90 pitches. His fastball and slider are both a tick above average, his changeup has the potential to be average, but everything plays up due to an easy delivery that gives him well above-average command and control. He could be in Double-A Arkansas by the second-half and knocking on the big league door by 2014.
Oscar Taveras, OF, Cardinals (Double-A Springfield)
Sending Taveras to Double-A to begin the season was a risky proposition. Sure he flirted with .400 much of the 2011 season at Low-A Quad Cities, but he also played just 78 games due to hamstring problems and he doesn't turn 20 until June. Whoever pushed for it, whoever was that guy really pushing for the move, looks like he was right, as after four hits over the weekend and three home runs in his last five games, Taveras is now hitting .330/.358/.659 on the young season. Nitpickers can point at the three walks, but he's struck out just 13 times in 91 at-bats and 16 of his 30 hits have gone for extra bases. How do you tell a guy like that things would be better if he took more pitches?
Cory Vaughn, OF, Mets (High-A St. Lucie)
A fourth-round pick in 2010, Vaughn's pro debut made him a very real prospect, but after an ugly full season in 2011, his stock was back to to what would normally be expected for a fourth-round pick: interesting, but let's not get a big league uniform ready yet. The good news is that even while struggling, Vaughn's tools were still there, and they've been on display more on the diamond: with home runs in all three games of the weekend, he's now hitting .276/.368/.539 in 20 games. With a corner outfield profile he'll need to keep hitting, and that will require less swing-and-miss in his game, but again, the tools are still there.

NFL players run drills with Detroit kids who have parents in prison
Detroit Lions linebacker Trevor Bates, 25, was once a kid growing up with a dad in prison. On Saturday, he stepped onto a field — in a park on Detroit's east side — to help some kids in similar circumstances.
Boys and girls age 7 to 14 ran drills, threw passes and got mentoring from professional athletes at Balduck Park through the Angel Tree Sports Clinic run by Prison Fellowship, a Christian nonprofit supporting prisoners, former prisoners and their families. That same nonprofit once helped Bates' family, making it possible for his dad to send presents through its Angel Tree Christmas Program.
The pro football player, who grew up in Maine, told the Free Press this is "something that hits home to the heart," and it was great just talking to some of the kids and offering encouragement.
He said he just wanted them to know that an NFL player went through the same things they're going through, the same kind of circumstances, same hardships, same difficulties and was still able to chase his dreams.
More than 100 children participated Saturday in the event, which occurred through a partnership with local Christian nonprofit Soar Detroit — which offers reading tutoring and activities to children — and its Eagle Sports Club program. Some were kids who have participated in Angel Tree programs, some were Soar Detroit students or Eagle Sports Club players and others were just curious members of the community who wanted to join in.
Ulysses Hendrix, 7, of Detroit has participated in Eagle Sports Club since he was 4. His mom, Jamie Hendrix, brought him to the clinic on Saturday.
"I am practicing, and then I'm going to be staying here for a few hours ... my feet are going to hurt a lot, and I'm going to learn how to play football," Ulysses said. "I learned how to kick the ball. I've learned how to throw the ball, how to catch it and run."
Hendrix said her son had never played football before, but he and her older daughter, who is now 21, both had participated in Eagle Sports.
"We really want (Ulysses) to be an athlete," Hendrix said. "We really want him to get into athletics, we see it as a way to get a scholarship or to kind of help increase his college possibilities, get him some exposure."

St. James: What made Henrik Zetterberg special
Denise Harris, the Prison Fellowship field director for the state of Michigan, said that while most people are more familiar with the Angel Tree Christmas program, the sports clinic is run across the country in various states — and she was excited to have it come to Detroit for the first time Saturday.
"(Detroit) is a place where many (former prisoners) return and a lot of their children, of course live in this area," Harris said. "Now this is a program not only for prisoners' children, but any child that may live in areas that are at-risk. There could be heavy gang influence, drug influence, that sort of thing. ... We're excited to see what's going to happen in future years."
Tyrone Poole, former NFL cornerback and two-time Super Bowl champion with the New England Patriots, joined the group of high school football coaches and former college players who volunteered their time Saturday to coach the kids.
"The plan is to allow the kids to enjoy not only finding out who they are internally, but find out what they can do externally," Poole said. "What I'm hoping to teach them is confidence, courage and consistency. If they master the 3 C's, then they give themselves the opportunity to have great ultimate success in life."
Joe Avila, National Director of the Prison Fellowship's Angel Tree Sports Clinic, says he and his colleague Bill Anderson started running the first Angel Tree Sports Clinic at Stanford University about 12 years ago.
"We had really successful sports clinics there for 10 to 11 years, and then we just decided to take this nationwide this year," Avila said.
After hosting clinics in Florida, California and Alabama, Avila says Prison Fellowship has always wanted to include Detroit.
"(We) really wanted to do it because of the demographics here, and so that came to fruition, and we started planning this about four months ago," Avila said.
The process started when Avila connected with Nate Schwarze, the director of sports for Soar Detroit. Soar Detroit worked with Prison Fellowship to bring the clinic to the city, promoted participation among its students, and helped gather coaches and volunteers.
"I met Joe Avila and he was just telling me about what they're doing in California and the success they're having ... and he's like, 'what do you think of us bringing to to Detroit? Would you want to be involved?' " Schwarze said. "I said, 'of course, anything we can do to get kids in the community active, playing sports.' "
Soar Detroit is based out of Grace Community Church in Detroit, Schwarze explained.
Schwarze said it got its start about 20 years ago as the Eagle Sports Club, which is designed to engage kids, and then Soar officially rose as a tutoring program that promotes improving kid's literacy skills in 2005.
"Eagle Sports Club is the sports side and Soar is the reading, and we're kind of becoming one brand," Schwarze said.
Joshua Reed, of Detroit, who took his 7-year-old son Camden Reed to the clinic, said he was interested in supporting the Prison Fellowship's work engaging families and encouraging kids to play sports.
"We think it's something really awesome for the kids, especially to keep them off the streets. We need leadership in Detroit," Reed said. "If they play football, or even if they don't play football, it keeps them healthy."
Reed said he stumbled upon the clinic while looking for activities for his son on Eventbrite, and Camden loves football.
"He plays football for the Detroit Dolphins right now, he's football, football, football. When he wakes up he wants to watch football on YouTube or he wants to go play," Reed said. "He's got a game coming up Sunday, so this will help him out and keep him exercised."
It was also a plus that players from the NFL came out to meet and work with the kids, Reed added.
"That's always awesome, when people from that league can come down and show the kids that they can do this too," he said, "That gives them kind of a hope."
After expanding outside of Stanford University to 10 additional cities this year, Avila says Prison Fellowship wants to do more with the Angel Tree Sports Clinic — like go to more cities and introduce programs for basketball, cheerleading and other sports.
"Last year, we happened to do skating at Central Park in New York, we did that with JoJo Starbuck, a former Olympian," he said. "We did some cheer in Mobile, Alabama. Although the girls would rather play football. So we let them play football, we're not gender-specific."
Ultimately, Avila says they hope the Angel Tree Sports Clinic becomes an annual beacon of light for kids across the county.
It should be an "experience of a lifetime," for the kids, Avila added.
However, Avila explained the program is not just for children whose parents are incarcerated. Those kids are included, as well as other children within the surrounding community, in order to create what Avila called, "a fellowship of children."
"We don't say no to any child," he said.

Four Horsemen Present: Hybrid Class – Blasphemer
Four Horsemen Present: Hybrid Class – Blasphemer
This hybrid class clocks in at 13 pages, 1 page front cover, 1 page editorial, 1 page SRD, leaving us with 10 pages of content, so let's take a look!
The blasphemer, as a chassis, is a blending of antipaladin and bard and as such, must be evil. The class gets d8 HD, 3/4 BAB-progression, good Fort- and Will-saves, 6+Int skills per level and proficiency with simple and martial weapons as well as all types of armor and shields, excluding tower shields. The class begins play with an aura of evil and gets access to cantrips. The class draws its spells from the antipaladin and bard spell lists (with certain spells added and summons only being able to call forth evil creatures) and gains up to 6th level spontaneous spellcasting governed by Charisma.
They get at-will detect good and the Charisma-based pernicious performance, which can be likened to bardic performance in a way. 4 + Cha-mod rounds, +2 per level of this performance are available, with action economy to activate it decreasing from standard action to move action at 7th level and 13th level unlocking the option to start the performance as a swift action – though it should be noted that the other action types still remain feasible, should you find yourself in need of e.g. a swift action. Interaction with deafness of both blasphemer and audience are covered. Here's the catch, though: While the basics of the ability are set in stone, at 2nd level and every 3 levels thereafter, the class chooses from an array of wicked words – which double as basically a set of talents that unlocks new performances for the blasphemer with every-increasing potency and, obviously, different minimum levels required. So yeah, the class has more player-agenda – that's a good thing.
Lowering the attitudes of all hearing them towards every other creature in hearing range by one step via Diplomacy is pretty cool – but tying the Will-save DC to resist it to the skill-check…is not. I can make this an unwinnable save pretty easily and RAW, this means that blasphemers could basically make a group of even high-level holy, pious men slaughter each other, provided they have a sufficiently powerful array of items/buffs. Sure, a good GM can handle this…but still…why not tie it simple to the usual class formula that isn't this easily cheesed? It is also here I feel obliged to mention that formatting in this pdf isn't as clear as in most Rogue Genius Games-books – the class table sports some lines where everything is italicized and the talent-section has a part, where a lot of hyperlink-underlined blue is in the book…sans the hyperlinks. Interesting, just fyi – instead of providing simply an array of diverse performances, the class gets options to add spells with certain themes to their roster and may even learn hexes etc. – which then are powered by rounds of the song expended. Similarly, passive abilities can be found here as well…alongside a bunch of unique ones – like uttering words in the vile language to make objects rot.
Wait, I have heard that one before, right? Well, yeah – thematically, the blasphemer takes a cue from 3.X's book of vile darkness, with references to this primal tongue – which makes me happy from a continuity point of view. 3rd level provides unholy resilience, 4th smite (with an upgrade available as a wicked word – and thus only while performing). Fiendish boon is gained at 5th level..or was that 7th? Hey wait – yup. The table contradicts the text. Great. I love it when that happens. Seriously, though – since the text is consistent in referring to 5th level, I assume that's the right one…but I'm honestly not sure, since this means 7th level is dead apart from the spellcasting and action increase of the performance. Vile resistance is gained at 15th level, providing better saves and half damage versus evil effects (none at 19th level) and 15th level allows the class to use 2 uses of its limited contingency of smites to grant smite to non-good allies within 10 feet. Capstones are handled via e.g. save or suck wicked words.
The Flame-Tongue is a hellfire-themed archetype with a modified spell-list, Fire Music as a bonus feat at, at 11th level, 1/2 fire damage// 1/2 divine damage for fire spells cast – which is powerful, yes, but up till then, your fire specialist has no means of bypassing even a bit of fire resistance…which is kind of annoying. Some minor scaling would have been nice to see here. The second archetype would be the Scale-Tongue, who gets a modified spell-list as well and unlocks Pathfinder Unchained's skill unlocks for social skills (Bluff, Diplomacy and Intimidate) at 5th level. Okay, I get that…but which ones? The 5-rank unlocks? The 10 rank-unlocks? ALL of them? I have no idea and the pdf fails to specify anything in that manner. At 11th level, these guys may spit a flexible variant of poison…which is rather cool!
It should also be noted that the pdf provides 3 of the "Plus-X"-type of feats for class abilities and 4 new spells that also take the occult classes into account…and while the formatting of this page is also a bit wonky regarding bolded text, the spells themselves, which make good creatures hearing your uttering nauseated, undo targets by vile language, hamper concentration or incite murderous rages, can be considered pretty cool.
Editing and formatting aren't bad, but not as tight as we've come to expect from Rogue Genius Games – as mentioned, there are a couple pretty glaring, but mostly aesthetic hiccups that even a cursory last glance could have caught. Layout adheres to RGG's two-column full-color standard for the series and the pdf comes fully bookmarked for your convenience.
I really want to like the blasphemer more than I actually do, and I was not the only one – my players reported a similar experience. We thoroughly enjoyed the idea of the evil instigator; we loved, from a flavor-point of view, the nod towards the BoVD, And we generally enjoyed the framework of the class. The blasphemer isn't bad by any means…but it also feels…less like a unique class. I like the hex-resource-management; like quite a few things…but ultimately, the class feels a bit frankensteinish to me. Let me elaborate: The better hybrid classes in the ACG, the more popular ones, sport something rather unique.
In 3pp-publishing, I can actually name several that do a better job than the ACG at that, including classes crafted by the four horsemen…but oh well. The blasphemer, while not bad by any means, can be considered an evil-coated bard with a bit of smiting (max 3/day at 16th level sans feats) and antipaladin spells and a few unique options thrown in. If that's what you're looking for, this class may just be what you needed. If you're like me and wished it had more of its unique focus…well, then you may end up disappointed on a high level.
Steven T. Helt's rules usually are characterized by a pronounced quality, a tightness, a very smooth elegance that doesn't need complexity to be complex or new for novelty's sake. Here, though, from formatting to some design decisions, I couldn't help but feel that this pdf was a bit rushed. The high level ability that suddenly lets you use smite as a resource to power an aura? Cool! But it feels tacked on and like a foreign body in the total concept of the class since otherwise, smite and auras remain an afterthought.
Similarly, the archetypes aren't too impressive in my book and some uncharacteristic blunders have crawled into this book beyond the formatting hiccups, rendering it less refined than usual for the Four Horsemen, who usually absolutely excel at these components. Similarly, from a balance standpoint, I think the more powerful antipaladin spell-list should have been weighed as higher level spells as opposed to the bard spells.
The Blasphemer, ultimately, may not be a bad class – but it also falls short of being truly great. My final verdict hence will clock in at 3.5 stars, but I have to round down here due to the blend of hiccups and aforementioned considerations.

Board Game Review: The Oregon Trail Card Game
I enjoy card games of all kinds and like to review them so future players know what to expect.
What Is the Oregon Trail Card Game?
The Oregon Trail card game is, as you might have guessed, based on the older computer game. You take a family on a wagon with supplies and push through the wilderness in order to get to Oregon, all while doing your best to avoid certain death along the way. It has a very unforgiving difficulty level and you'll be sure to lose quite often. But what are some of the pros and cons of the card game?
Oregon Trail Card Game Review (Pros and Cons)
- Nostalgia—fans rejoice for a faithful recreation of the old computer game
- Well worth $12 (at Target, not online from random sellers)
- Quick, easy to set up, little to no strategy
- Very, very difficult and unforgiving
- Best played with a maximum number of players (5 or 6)
I've never played the original game, so basically this is a game where everyone (2–6 players) gets a hand for supplies and a hand for roads. You have to play roads to progress the game and each subsequent card must match the one prior (paths touch the end of the cards either at the left, the right, or the middle). However, most of these cards have a kind of consequence to them. Some require you to roll the die to cross a river. If you pass, nothing happens. If you don't, you might have to lose a supply or simply die.
The Challenges
Worse, there are cards that force you to draw from the Calamity deck which does terrible things such as killing your oxen (which will cause you to die next rotation if not replaced), contaminate your water, give you Typhoid, and so on. Four of the cards are either Dysentery or Snake Bite, both which kill a player immediately without any way of protecting yourself. You may also find a Hunting card, where you can exchange bullets for a lot of food. Some road cards will also take the form of Forts or Towns, allowing you to resupply your inventories.
How to Win
You need to play 10 sets of 5 roads in order to make it to Oregon, meaning you have to play 50 road cards. You'll definitely find plenty of bumps along the way. And most importantly, players will all want to work together. There is no prize or race, so one player has no need to look out for numero uno. All players win if one player makes it to Oregon. As with the original game, this iteration is utterly unforgiving, so you'll need as much teamwork as you can get.
The Good: Why People Will Like This Game
This game is good for a couple of reasons. For some, there's nostalgia. For everyone, there's that sheer difficulty and randomness. It's very, very difficult and if you get tired always crossing the finish line in Candy Land with ease, this will give you a wake-up call. While there is some strategy to this game, it's not enough to make you sit and waste minutes thinking about it. It's pretty clear what you have to do, so that's nice for when you want to play a game but not have to mentally work your way through it.
It's Easy to Set Up
Despite the different components, it's also really easy to set up. All cards are easily shuffled with their own, clearly marked by their own color, and there are many duplicates of the same card meaning you don't have to be a great shuffler in order to make sure the deck is varied. It's practically as varied as it's going to get.
Also, it's more of a microgame. It's easy to pick up, set up, and is really quick to play. The path is pretty obvious on how you need to go so no player should be holding up the rest of the group.
How Many Players Are Optimal?
The answer? All of them. My wife and I played this game and died out relatively quickly, only about 30% of the way through. This happened again when we reshuffled and played right after. We played this game with another couple (4 players total) and were able to make it about 80%, repeating the same results in a second game.
If you really want to get 10 stacks of 5, you'll want 5 or 6 players. For those playing with fewer people, I advise you to lower the requirement, or simply make a record and see how far you can go. Just know the randomness can really, really suck sometimes. It's terrible when one person passes on their supplies to the next after dying to Dysentery, only for the last player to draw a Calamity and be killed by a Snake Bite.
Winning Points of This Game
Having never played the original game, do I enjoy this one? Definitely! My wife and I now have a small collection of microgames so we can shuffle through which ones we want. The advantage of this game is that it's pretty quick and more or less satisfactory. Sure, it's difficult which may make it shorter, but it's exciting to get close to the end of the game or when you're the last player alive.
There's not a lot to it, which may sound like a complaint but it's really not. You can figure out pretty easily what kind of game this is and whether you want it or not. For $12, it's definitely worth it.
Please, get The Oregon Trail Card Game in person at Target. Scalpers are raising the prices high. Don't feel like you need to pay more than $15 to get this game. It's fun, but it's not $60 worth of fun (unless you're a huge huge fan who can't wait for Target to restock).
dwax413 on January 16, 2017:
Nice review! This game is a huge hit in our family right now. I highly recommend for anyone with kids 8+. For some reason they really enjoy dying from the various ailments picked up on the trail.
I wrote a review of the game on my blog here:

CHICAGO >> It was easy to miss in a weak week at the plate for the Dodgers, but Joc Pederson hit cleanup Tuesday against the reigning Cy Young Award winner, Jake Arrieta.
Pederson quickly recalled the last time he'd batted fourth: April 21, which happens to be his birthday.
The 24-year-old outfielder said he puts little stock in his batting order position, and not blithely.
"I'm just happy to be in the lineup," he said. "Last year I wasn't in the lineup. I played myself out of it, so I'm just happy to be in there."
Pederson's climb up the lineup card is the most visible manifestation of his progress in his sophomore season. Manager Dave Roberts batted him eighth as recently as May 15 and, other than on his birthday, Pederson never batted higher than sixth in April.
But there are better ways to measure Pederson's progress, beyond even his traditional numbers like batting average (.224), home runs (8) or runs batted in (24).
Start with his spray chart. A year ago, Pederson was such a pull-happy hitter that opposing defenses could shift him comfortably, knowing the ball was headed in the direction of right field.
Now Pederson is spreading the ball around. Only 37 percent of his contact was directed toward the right side of the field in April, and only 33 percent in May. Pederson's strikeout rate is down too, from 30 percent to 27 percent month-over-month.
Pederson's propensity to pull, and to strike out, were perhaps the two most frustrating aspects of his rookie season. Slowly but surely he's fixing both problems.
Hitting the ball to all fields, he said, "is something that I was able to do early in my career and I kind of got away from it. I'm just learning to be an overall better hitter."
His contact rate has improved thanks in large part to a new pregame routine.
Every day, Pederson and a handful of coaches — including Roberts, will play a game of pepper on the field. The coaches stand a short distance away and toss the ball lightly to Pederson, who must hit the ball softly back to each of them. It's a simple exercise in hand-eye coordination and bat control.
So far, it's working.
"It's a long season," Pederson said, "and I have a lot of work to keep going."
Puig update
Yasiel Puig was limited to pinch-hitting duties for a second straight day because of an injured left hamstring.
"With Yasiel and the hamstring issues he's had in the past, where he's at and where we're at in the season, it doesn't make sense to push him," Roberts said. "I know he would be hoping to try and give it a go. For me, sometimes you have to take it out of the player's hands: what's best for him and the organization."
Puig lined out Wednesday and struck out on Thursday. He's hitless in his last 12 plate appearances, lowering his batting average to .237 in the process. Roberts conceded that Puig might benefit from the mental break as well as the physical break.
"When we get back home, I'm hoping he'll be back in (the lineup)," Roberts said. "It's a day to day thing."
If a flight from Chicago to L.A. doesn't cure what ails Puig's hamstring, the Dodgers have Scott Van Slyke eligible to be activated from his minor league rehab assignment. The first baseman/outfielder hasn't played since the first week of the season, when he aggravated a lower back injury.
"The last few days Slykey has swung the bat well on his rehab. One component is being healthy, which is the main, but also performing and swinging the bat well. So those at-bats have gotten better the last two, three days. That's a conversation that we'll have after this game."
Hyun-Jin Ryu still does not have a target date for his next rehab start. The pitcher was shut down after he felt pain in his shoulder last Thursday, one day after his last appearance for Triple-A Oklahoma City. … Clayton Kershaw is the National League pitcher of the month for May. The left-hander went 5-0 with a 0.91 earned-run average for the month. He struck out 65 batters in six starts and walked only two. … Brett Anderson, who hasn't pitched this season as he recovers from back surgery performed in spring training, began his throwing program. … The New York Mets asked Major League Baseball to investigate the Dodgers' use of a laser rangefinder for the purpose of outfield positioning. The investigation revealed no wrongdoing.

Photographer's Note
A street sign in the middle of the prairies. Taken near Rowans Ravine, near Strasbourg Saskatchewan.
My grandpa settled an area now called Uhl's Bay. He had it surveyed, and plotted land for each of the kids. Uhl street runs by each of the kids plot of land. It is nothing more than a gravel road, but it means a lot more than just that to our family.
Taken at dusk (8:47 pm) on a typical Saskatchewan night. Clear and a little crisp.
