Integrating JavaFX 2.x and Swing: It's Simple
With JavaFX 1.x, it was possible to embed Swing controls into a JavaFX application, but officially it wasn't possible to do the reverse. Although Sun/Oracle didn't support it, clever people found a way around this (read my past writing on the subject if you're interested). However, it quickly became evident that many people had large, complex Swing applications that they weren't willing or capable of entirely refactoring as a JavaFX application. So, Oracle added the ability to embed JavaFX components (built-in controls, custom controls, as well as entire JavaFX Scenes) inside a Swing application. With the JavaFX 2.x
JFXPanel class, the one class needed to accomplish this, you can host JavaFX components alongside Swing components within a Swing JPanel, for instance. Let's look at how this works conceptually:
Containment model:
JPanel <- JFXPanel <- Scene <- Group <- javafx.control.*
Or, in pseudocode:
JPanel.add(JFXPanel.setScene(Scene.setRoot(Group.getChildren().add( javafx.control ))));
That may look complicated, but it's really not. You set up the JavaFX Scene relationship as usual, with no need for a Stage since the Swing application will act as your stage. Instead, create your JavaFX container (HBox, VBox, or Group, and so on), set it as your Scene's Root (or Parent), then add JavaFX controls to that root container. Finally, add the Scene to a special
JFXPanel class, whose only role in life is to be placed within a Swing container (i.e., a
JPanel) and serve as a bridge between the two worlds — a wormhole, if you will. Voila… Swing/JavaFX integration in a nutshell.
A Working Example
As an example, let's take the really cool
SizeView container I created with JavaFX 2.x a few months ago. This custom container allows you to place any number of JavaFX controls within it, where each are separated by a sizing bar. When you resize one component, the others adjacent to it resize accordingly. Learn all about the control and resizing algorithms from my past blog.
The code is below. The explanation is this:
- The Swing application starts
JFrameis created and sized
- The
SwingFX2class (which extends
JPanel) is instantiated and added to the
- In the constructor,
initComponentsis called, where the following steps occur:
JFXPanelis created and added to the
– A Swing
JButtonis created and added to the
– A Scene is created and provided a parent container (Group)
– A JavaFX Control is created and added to the root container
– The scene is added to the
– Everything is made visible
The application, when run, looks like this:
For the official Oracle tutorial on the
JFXPanel class, go here.
Happy Coding!
public class SwingFX2 extends JPanel { // It's a Swing JPanel private JFXPanel jfxPanel; // The JavaFX component(s) private JButton swingButton; // The Swing component public SwingFX2(){ initComponents(); } public static void main(String ...args){ SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() { public void run() { // Create a Swing Frame final JFrame frame = new JFrame(); frame.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(640, 480)); frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); // Add the Swing JPanel and make visible frame.getContentPane().add(new SwingFX2()); frame.setVisible(true); } }); } private void initComponents(){ // The JavaFX 2.x JFXPanel makes the Swing integration seamless jfxPanel = new JFXPanel(); // Create the JavaFX Scene createScene(); setLayout(new BorderLayout()); add(jfxPanel, BorderLayout.CENTER); swingButton = new JButton(); swingButton.addActionListener( new ActionListener() { @Override public void actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent ae) { System.exit(0); } }); swingButton.setText("Close"); add(swingButton, BorderLayout.SOUTH); } private void createScene() { // The Scene needs to be created on "FX user thread", NOT on the // AWT Event Thread PlatformImpl.startup( new Runnable() { public void run() { Group root = new Group(); Scene scene = new Scene(root, 80, 20); SizeView sizeview = createSizeView(scene); root.getChildren().add(sizeview); jfxPanel.setScene(scene); } }); } private SizeView createSizeView(Scene scene) { double HBOX_WIDTH = scene.getWidth() - 10 - 10; final SizeView sizeview = new SizeView(); sizeview.setLayoutX(10); sizeview.setLayoutY(10); sizeview.setPrefWidth(HBOX_WIDTH); Node[] controls = new Node[5]; for ( int l = 0; l < controls.length; l++ ) { controls[l] = new ListView(); } sizeview.getChildren().setAll(controls); scene.widthProperty().addListener( new ChangeListener() { public void changed(ObservableValue observable, Object oldValue, Object newValue) { Double w = (Double)newValue; sizeview.setPrefWidth( w - 20 ); sizeview.layout(); } }); return sizeview; } }

They're mindless.
Their stupid is contagious.
And if they win, humanity loses.
The current Republican party has a near consensus on what to do about climate change - which is nothing.
They may differ on why we should do nothing:
-because it's all lies
-because the science is "uncertain"
-because we don't how harmful it might be
-even if it was true, we can't do anything about it anyways
But we should still do nothing, afterall, "it's the economy. stupid" seems to be the conventional political wisdom of the day.
What the hell are we do about these climate zombie morons?

When it comes to planning for city growth, no area is more difficult to keep pace with than traffic. And within Palo Alto, California Avenue is a perfect illustration of that.
The eclectic collection of neighborhoods and business parks has been targeted for renewal since at least 2006, when the City Council decided to develop a "concept area plan" that would identify new or continuing uses -- commercial space, retail, housing -- for each subsection of the 115-acre area, which includes a business district and the Fry's Electronics property.
Several ambitious developments are planned for the area, from Harold Hohbach's recently approved "Park Plaza" at 195 Page Mill Road, which includes 82 apartments along with research-and-development space, to a 40-foot-tall office-and-retail building at 260 California Ave., where Illusions nightclub currently operates.
With each new development comes new traffic, even if the majority of tenants take nearby public transit, such as Caltrain or Valley Transportation Authority buses.
But when city staff in 2010 was considering a controversial plan to reduce the number of lanes from four to two on California Avenue, between El Camino Real and the Caltrain station, these pending developments weren't in the equation.
The plan, which is part of a broader streetscape revamp of the commercial strip, was adopted after a traffic analysis showed that reducing the number of lanes wouldn't result in any significant traffic problems, a finding that was disputed by area merchants.
For Pat Marriott and Dick Placone, vocal critics of Palo Alto's land-use policies, the traffic analysis had a major flaw: It assumed, despite all the evidence to the contrary, that no significant new developments -- or their traffic -- would affect California Avenue.
To investigate the issue, the pair recently made a Public Records Act request to obtain emails between the city's planning staff and consultants working on the California Avenue streetscape project. The documents, which Marriott provided to the Weekly, confirmed a hunch: Palo Alto's transportation planners made a conscious decision not to include new developments in the streetscape analysis.
An exchange between Brett Walinski of the consulting firm Hexagon and city Chief Transportation Official Jaime Rodriguez focused on this very topic. In December 2010, Walinski asked Rodriguez about potential growth in the California Avenue area and wrote that he was "concerned that if we mention any potential growth, we will have to study it." He also noted that the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which governs environmental review of new developments, "requires a cumulative scenario. ...
"If we are using this doc for CEQA purposes, and there is any opposition to this project, then we need to be careful about this."
Walinski proposed checking with an environmental consultant. In the absence of that, he wrote: "We may want to spend a bit more money and analyze a future growth."
Rodriguez replied that he had consulted with Chief Planning Official Julie Caporgno (who has since retired) and recommended analyzing only the "existing" and "project-only conditions." The report, he wrote, "should include a discussion that no planned projects are pending or foreseeable in the near future that would change traffic conditions beyond the current volumes."
After Walinkski responded to double-check the fact that there are "no approved or pending projects," Rodriguez wrote back: "Yes, let's focus on the no planned or active projects instead."
Fittingly, Hexagon's traffic study concluded that "there are no pending projects or planned projects in the foreseeable future. Therefore, traffic volumes on California Avenue between El Camino Real and Park Boulevard will remain unchanged with the current land uses."
The exchange struck Marriott and Placone as puzzling. Even though some significant projects -- including the offices at 260 California; a proposed four-story office building on the busy corner of El Camino Real and Page Mill, and Jay Paul Co.'s massive office proposal for 395 Page Mill -- still hadn't materialized in 2010, the city should have known that the area would see growth, and it should have included this growth in its traffic study, they figured.
Hohbach's proposal for 195 Page Mill, for example, was already crawling toward approval in 2010. The council had recently OK'd a smaller mixed-use development at 2650 Birch St. And plans were afoot to designate the California Avenue area the city's sole "planned development area," an acknowledgment that the neighborhood could accommodate more growth.
So if the city knew about these changes, why did officials proceed with the lane-reduction analysis on the assumption that there would be no projects "pending or foreseeable in the near future that would change traffic conditions beyond the current volumes?"
When Marriott and Placone brought this question to City Manager James Keene, he replied with a detailed explanation of the staff's decision, which he said is fully compliant with state law. The city is only required to analyze "pending or foreseeable" projects, and the only ones that would have fit this category in 2010 were 195 Page Mill, which was in litigation at the time, and the Birch Street project, which was so small that it wouldn't generate any major traffic problems.
This explanation didn't entirely satisfy Marriott and Placone. Even if the city and Rodriguez operated within the law, he and the city knew that the California Avenue district would see a great deal of growth in the future, Marriott wrote in a memo to the Weekly.
"Isn't it his (Rodriguez's) responsibility -- as well as Keene's and the Planning and Transportation Commission and the City Council's -- to do the right thing for residents and businesses?" she asked. "As chief transportation official, shouldn't he ensure that traffic flows smoothly throughout the city?"
In a recent interview, Rodriguez told the Weekly that staff had considered the projects Marriott and Placone cited and determined that they would not have a big impact on California Avenue, despite their proximity to the commercial strip. The portion of California Avenue where the lanes will be reduced to two dead-ends at the Caltrain station, and tenants of 195 Page Mill and 260 Birch are unlikely to use those blocks for commuting.
But Rodriguez also acknowledged that the traffic model used for the analysis was not built to consider the major changes along and near California Avenue. That's one of the things the city is looking to change as it completes its Comprehensive Plan Amendment, Rodriguez said. In one of its final actions before the July break, the City Council approved a $290,000 addition to its work on the Comprehensive Plan to overhaul the existing traffic model and come up with one that does a better job looking at cumulative effects of various different projects.
"The old model didn't have a good analysis for the future. It didn't add in every project that was approved," Rodriguez said.
The subject of cumulative traffic has become a hot topic well beyond California Avenue. Downtown residents have long been up in arms about the city's approval of new office buildings, some of whose tenants have collectively eaten up all the parking spaces in the neighborhoods. And residents of the Barron Park and Green Acres neighborhoods have blasted the city's recent traffic analysis for an approved development at 567 Maybell Ave., which includes 60 units for low-income seniors and 12 single-family homes. On June 17, just before the council approved the project, Councilman Greg Schmid made the point that current traffic measures aren't sufficient.
"There are cumulative impacts that are impacting the neighborhoods that are not being measured by 'Let's count the incremental change,'" Schmid said. "People look at incremental changes, none of which make a major impact, and then see traffic in their community go up on the order of 60 to 70 percent."
The existing traffic model was created in 1995 and updated several times, most recently in 2008, when the Stanford University Medical Center was going through with its major expansion.
The new model, which uses the methodology of the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority, will be updated with the latest and projected land-use developments. It will consider recent and future changes around California Avenue and the East Meadow Circle area, which are subject of the city's "concept area plans."
Rodriguez said it will include possible future projects such as John Arrillaga's proposed office-and-theater development at 27 University Ave. and Jay Paul Co.'s proposed complexes at 395 Page Mill. It will also include the potential housing sites listed in the Comp Plan's Housing Element, which the city approved last month after years of delays. It will also consider big developments in neighboring jurisdictions, including Menlo Park, Mountain View


text: Jay Brown: 28 Machine Builders Part I of IV By Jay Brown The tattoo machine has been around for 135 years now, the first stencil pen by Thomas Edison was used by tattooers. Then in 1891 Samuel O'Reily came up with his version of the tattoo machine and then it has just evolved from there. The odd thing is, the basic concept of the machine hasn't changed all that much since the turn of the century, and the inline electromagnetic coil type machine still reigns supreme in today's modern world. I am a tattoo artist of 25 years, but I am also a tattoo machine builder. In this day and age it seems like everyone is building or assembling machines, some who haven't been tattooing long enough to know the nuances of the machine itself, yet others really understand the geometry, and workings of a machine due to years of experience tattooing. A few years ago everyone had to have apprentices, and apprentices had apprentices, now it seems the fad is to build machines. I personally do it because I have had a passion for tattoo machines since the beginning, hacking off Supreme frames in the 90s to do it as a version of Paul Rogers' Mad Bee or Mike Malone's Rollo-matic. And then 10 years ago I began building machines, starting out with some basic designs and bolt together-s in steel and aluminum, then cast brass only doing 13-20 a year. Now I work with steel, kind of gone full circle, all though I still do Jonesy replicas in cast brass. In the past few years I have made it more a full-time venture. Now I build 50-100 a year, all handmade and my designs and geometry. I really enjoy building good quality tattoo machines, and knowing that the artist using it gets to create beautiful skin art... So how do you know who a good machine builder is? Well, there are many competing opinions on who is the best. Well, this is not one of those lists, this is not a Top 10 list, and in no way am I trying to say that one builder is the best, or that one guy is ranked higher than the others. This is just my opinion of who are or were great machine builders, (yes, I am going to be putting some historical builders on the list, these men were the forefathers and blazed the trail for the rest of us, so they deserve mention) not a cliquey "Top Builder's List" because they are who everyone is buzzing about, but people I feel build solid, top-notch machines. Some you may have heard of, and some you may not have... So back to what makes a great builder? First and foremost I believe performance is key, does the machine run well, and not for just one tattoo, but thru hours of continual use? Second, I believe design and usability are important, some machines I see these days are no more than expensive paper weights, and even if they run good, they are awkward because they have too much flashy crap on them or are a design nightmare. Sure they look cool but are they practical in daily use? This is not to say that they are not great for the collectors out there. And a good machine should be aesthetically pleasing. Third, are they truly handmade frames fabricated from scratch? Cast frames are the exception, it takes a lot to design something to be cast. There are a lot of assemblers out there, and let's not even get into the Chinese crap. Do the builders wind their own coils, make their binders and A-bars and so forth? Or is it a pre-fab (don't get me wrong I've seen some great pre-fabs in my day) that someone just assembled. Did the builder put time into it and make it something that they would tattoo with themselves? And finally, is the machine builder willing to stand behind his machines or are they solely in it for money? As a machine builder these are some of the things I look for in a machine. And I am not saying that this is it, the gospel, this is just the way I look at it. So the other day I thought to myself, "Man, this would make a great article." As I started listing candidates for the article I found that the list got long really fast. Thus, I decided that I would stop at 28, because it's as good of a number as any, and it was enough for a broad spectrum of builders. So here it is, 28 tattoo great machine builders... (If I missed anyone don't be offended, it's nothing personal, I just had to think of space. Maybe there'll be additions in a future article?) So without further ado here they are, starting with historical builders, because they were the pioneers and should be recognized first, (plus I'm a history buff) and then moving to present day. Again this is not a Top 10 list, just a list of great builders, hope you enjoy… [Editor's note: The list complied by Jay Brown will be broken up into four separate blog installments.] Charlie Wagner Wagner worked the Bowery for over 50 years starting in the 1890s until his death in 1953. One of Wagner's more important contributions was his tattoo machine ideas that he patented in 1904. This patent was the first tattoo machine patented with coils in a vertical position, that is, in line with the tube assembly. This was a major improvement on machine design; in fact most machines built today use this alignment. Charlie Wagner, one of America's great tattoo legends tattooed in New York City from the 1890s up until his death in 1953. Working on the Bowery in lower Manhattan, Wagner took over the shop space at 11 Chatham Square that Samuel O 'Reilly had occupied for many years. Percy Waters Percy Waters was born in Anniston, Alabama in 1888. The legend goes that Waters saw his first tattooing at the sideshows, during this time Percy was learning the foundry trade of molder. In 1917 Percy Waters got into trouble for tattooing the wrong person and was told to "leave town or else!" After a brief stop in New York City, Waters settled in Detroit where he stayed until the late 1930s. While in Detroit Waters built a very successful tattooing and tattoo supply business. At that time, Waters supply business was probably the largest in the world. In the 20 years that Percy Waters worked in Detroit, he designed and manufactured many styles of tattoo machines. In 1929 he received a United States Patent for his machine ideas. In 1939 Waters left Detroit and returned to his home in Anniston where he ran his supply business until his death in 1952. Owen Jensen Owen Jensen was born in Pleasant Grove, Utah. As a young man he worked in the railroad shop in Ogden, Utah. In a 1930s radio interview with the roving reporter Jimmie Vandiver, Jensen said that because he had skills as a machinist, he was offered a part-time job working in a machine shop making tattooing machines. He was interested in how the tattoo machines worked, and before too long he became a tattooist. It is unclear when Jensen settled in Los Angeles, but when he did he kicked his supply business into full swing, setting up at #120 West 83rd Street, while tattooing at 243 South Main Street. As the only tattoo supply house on the west coast, Jensen's business was a success, offering quality machines and well drawn flash. Jensen lived from 1891 to 1976. Milton Zeis Milton Zeis was born in Rock Island, Illinois, a small town on the Mississippi River. Fascinated by tattooing at an early age, Zeis traveled from the 1910s to the 1930s and learned much about tattooing. In later years Zeis worked out of the basement of his home, operating a supply business on one side and a tattoo shop on the other. For nearly 20 years he sold flash, pigments, machines and other supplies. Zeis lived from 1901 to 1972. Bill Jones Bill Jones designed one of the best known tattoo machine designs, with some of the best geometry. Jones used to sell his machines at 3 for $10 dollars, which sounds absurd in this day and age due to how valuable his machines are now to collectors. Many of great machine builders have built great tributes to the Jonesy machine over the years, National Tattoo Supply has the closest version. Bowery Stan Moscowitz makes Jonsey style machines, using one of Bill Jones' original molds. The Jonesy Squareback, and the Jonesy Roundback are two machines that have a set place in tattoo history. Amund Deitzel Amund Dietzel was born in the town of Fredrikstad, Norway in 1890, and went to sea at age of 10. He learned the art of hand tattooing during those early sailor years. By 1907 he was tattooing on State Street in Chicago. As with other tattooists of his era, Dietzel worked in many cities. 1915 found Dietzel back on State Street, this time working with Bill Grimshaw. In 1916 he made the move to Milwaukee and opened a shop. He still hit the road in the summer months to tattoo in different towns. It was around this same time that Nick Melroy started working on two tattoo machine frame designs that went on to be associated with Dietzel. Amund Deitzel tattooed until 1966 retiring after the Milwaukee tattoo ban. Dietzel died in 1973. Paul Rogers On September 9, 1905 Paul Rogers was born in a log cabin in the woods of Couches Creek, North Carolina. Paul got his first tattoo from Chet Cain, a circus/carnival tattooist who was working with the John Robinson Circus at that time. As the story often goes, Paul's first tattoo changed his life. Just two years later he mail-ordered his first tattooing machine from E.J. Miller of Norfolk, Virginia and began his life-long career as a tattooist. In the early 1940s Paul's tattooing caught the eye of Cap Coleman in Norfolk and Coleman offered Paul a job. Paul was thrilled at the opportunity to work with one of the greats and worked with Coleman from 1945 to 1950. By the 1970s he was building machines for some of the best-known tattooists of that period. It is because of these machines that Paul is known today. Most machine builders and suppliers working today have at least one Paul Rogers style machine that they sell. Paul spent countless hours in that little 12x12 tin shed, affectionately called the "Iron Factory" building un-stylish but dependable machines. The name "Iron Factory" came about because Paul referred to his machines as "Irons." Ernie Carafa was kind enough to share a funny experience he had with Paul: "Here's a good one," Carafa said. "I don't think I can ever forget when we were in Atlantic City. I had an apartment over top of the shop, across the street was a bar named the Melody Bar. One night after work Paul went upstairs and I went to grab a drink. Guess I was gone maybe 45-minutes, I came out and found business cards taped all over my front window, 'Chris the Greek tattooing'. I started pulling them off when a car pulled up and two guys got out they introduced themselves and I started talking to them and one of them mentioned Paul had passed away. So I said, 'Hey come up stairs and have a drink with me'. Well they did when we got upstairs we were all sitting down having a drink, and I said to the guy, 'What were you telling me about Mr. Rogers?' and he answered, 'Oh yeah, he died a few years ago'. So Paul looked at him and said, 'Hi, I'm Paul Rogers' and that guys face turned white and they hightailed it out… the guy was Chris the Greek."

Zetterberg, Red Wings ground punchless Flyers
Detroit, MI (SportsNetwork.com) - Henrik Zetterberg tallied twice in the third period, as the Detroit Red Wings got past the Philadelphia Flyers, 5-2, at Joe Louis Arena.
Pavel Datsyuk and Niklas Kronwall each posted a goal and two helpers for the Red Wings, who pumped in their first three power-play goals of the season and halted a two-game losing skid.
Daniel Alfredsson picked up three assists and Todd Bertuzzi added a score to back Jimmy Howard's 32-save performance.
"I thought we entered the zone pretty good, we moved the puck around quite a bit and most important thing, we shot the puck," Bertuzzi said.
Erik Gustafsson and Tye McGinn lit the lamp for the Flyers, who continued their early season slide with their fifth loss in six contests.
"You don't ever want to get comfortable with losing," Philadelphia head coach Craig Berube said. "But we played a solid game, a lot of urgency. We were competitive, but it wasn't enough."
Ray Emery was victimized for all four goals on 29 shots in his second start of the year.
Philadelphia, which has scored a franchise-low eight goals to start the season, received bad news at the outset. Club GM Paul Holmgren revealed that forward Scott Hartnell will miss 2-to-4 weeks with an upper-body injury and forward Vincent Lecavalier will be out one week with a lower-body issue.
Despite heavy pressure to start the third, the visitors couldn't get one past Howard.
On the same shift after two Flyers missed open nets, Braydon Coburn was sent off for holding and the Wings capitalized with their third power-play score of the contest on Datsyuk's backhander from the slot at 3:08.
McGinn made it a one-goal contest with 5:46 played, following up a Claude Giroux rebound and beating Howard from the left side.
Zetterberg, however, restored the Wings' two-goal edge by beating Emery with 6:12 remaining. He tallied once more inside the final minute of regulation into the empty net, as Emery was summoned to the bench for an extra attacker with more than two minutes to play.
Only 24 seconds into their first power play, the Wings went up 1-0 as Bertuzzi wrapped the puck around the right post and in with 7:13 played in the opening period.
Kronwall's hard wrister from the left circle zipped under the crossbar and gave Detroit a 2-0 edge with 8:52 remaining in the second period and seconds to go on a Luke Schenn holding penalty.
But Philly climbed within a goal just 34 seconds later, when Gustafsson's knuckler from the point eluded Howard.
Game Notes
The Flyers fell to 1-18-2 in Detroit, including two losses in the 1997 Stanley Cup Finals, since a 4-3 win on Nov. 4, 1988 ... To fill the roster spots, the Flyers recalled McGinn and Michael Raffl from Adirondack of the American Hockey League ... Kronwall's tally was his first since March 15 ... Prior to the contest, the Red Wings agreed to terms on a three-year, entry-level contract with first-round pick and forward Anthony Mantha.

Heyward makes presence felt at top of order
ATLANTA -- Two lengthy stints on the disabled list prevented Jason Heyward from compiling statistics that were indicative of the impact he made this year. But now that the postseason has arrived, the Braves' dynamic outfielder will have a chance to show the baseball world just how special he can be.
"When you pencil him in the lineup, he energizes you," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "He can change the game for you offensively, defensively or on the basepaths. He can carry you for a while."
As they prepare to make what they hope is an extended run through October, the Braves are comforted by the fact that Heyward had a chance to spend the regular season's final week shaking off the rust that had developed as he missed a month after his jaw was fractured by Jon Niese's fastball on Aug. 21.
In the process of batting .267 (8-for-30) with a .371 on-base percentage in the nine games he played after returning, Heyward did not show any hesitancy at the plate or while playing center field, the position he will man during the playoffs. He made a headfirst diving catch in shallow center field and bounced into the center-field wall while making another impressive grab.
"It's huge having him back out there," Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman said. "Just seeing him back on the field gives you a good feeling."
Heyward's most significant influence came after he was moved to the top of the lineup on July 27. In the 23 games he played between being moved to the leadoff spot and breaking his jaw, he batted .345 with a .418 on-base percentage. The Braves went 19-4 and averaged five runs per game during that span.
Jordan Schafer and Andrelton Simmons had been filling the leadoff role on a consistent basis due to Heyward's injuries. Schafer batted .240 with a .331 on-base percentage in 39 games, and Simmons batted .219 with a .256 on-base percentage in 64 games.
"I think he has grown as a player, because I think he knows what it takes to play this game every day," Gonzalez said of Heyward. "He brings it every day. There is no coasting. He lays it on the line every single day and that is what it takes to be an elite player in this league."
Heyward batted .254 with 14 home runs and a .776 OPS in the 104 games he played during this injury-tarnished season. The 24-year-old outfielder underwent an emergency appendectomy on April 22 and returned to Atlanta's lineup May 17.
After struggling for two weeks, Heyward entered June hitting just .146 (15-for-103). But from June 2 through the end of the regular season, he batted .273 with a .876 OPS. During this span, he validated the hype that surrounded him when he entered the 2010 season as Atlanta's 20-year-old right fielder.
"I feel like I grew up some," Heyward said. "That's what you want to do, especially when you start at 20 years old. You like to continue to grow and progress. Starting from where I started to playing a big role on this team, it has been nice. I know I affect a ballgame when I'm in the lineup."

BONIFAY � The long anticipated day had arrived as the final results of one of the most anticipated races, not only for the nation, but for Holmes County as well: Election Day 2012.
BONIFAY � The long anticipated day had arrived as the final results of one of the most anticipated races, not only for the nation, but for Holmes County as well: Election Day 2012.
As far as presidential elections are concerned in Holmes County, Mitt Romney won by a landslide against Barack Obama by 3,256 votes, with Romney having 6,891 votes and Obama having 1,262.
In local races Tim Brown won the polls with a vote of 4,518 to 3,648 against John Braxton, Jr. for Sheriff of Holmes County; Kyle Hudson overcame Don Hersman for Clerk of Court with 2,625 votes to 2,497; and Otis Corbin, Jr. was voted in as Property Appraiser against Felecia Fisanick with a vote of 4,384 to 3,733.
For Superintendent of Schools Eddie Dixon surpassed Terry Mears with a vote of 4,319 to 3,775; and the new School Board member for District 2 is Debbie Kolmetz, winning against Wilburn G. Baker with a vote of 3,733 to 3,422.
�I�m very appreciative of the people who believed in me,� said Dixon.
Holmes County has two new commissioners to swear in on Nov. 20; Bobby Sasnett for District 1, overcoming Jim King with a vote of 4,488 to 3,563; and David Whitaker for District 3, who surpassed Phillip Music with a vote of 4,561 to 3,563.
As for the Local Referendum of allowing businesses with licenses to sell alcoholic beverages to sell beer on Sunday, 56 percent of Holmes County voted �no� with a vote of 4,395 to 3,410.
�This election was no more important then any other election,� said Holmes County Supervisor of Elections Debbie Wilcox Morris. �They are all equally important. If you don�t vote you allow other people to decide the governing bodies of your life.�
Morris said even though this year gave less time to vote early, more people voted this year then in 2008.
�The early voting was shortened from two weeks to eight days and we still had well over 100 more voting in this election then in 2008,� said Wilcox.
She said that this year also ran very smoothly.
�We were able to accommodate to everyone�s needs,� said Wilcox. �We want to recognize the poll workers. People don�t think about them and how dedicated they are, working from 6 a.m. till the polls close at 7:30 to 8 p.m. or some times even later.�
Morris stressed the importance of being an active voter.
�Every vote does count,� said Morris. �Being an involved voter has become more and more important in today's world. It is important for today's voters to be well informed in order to participate effectively in the elections process.�

Electronics show scales back on the glitz, but still features work-worthy products
At the 2009 International CES this month, more than 2,700 consumer electronics vendors gathered in Las Vegas for the annual display of the hot and the new. But given the dismal state of the economy, the glitzy, glamorous products touted in years past seemed, well, inappropriate. This year's show focused more on practical products that give people the tools to do business in ways that are less expensive, faster, and smarter.
Here are three of the trends showcased at CES that could improve the day-in, day-out lives of government workers, and a few products ready to ride the trend into your agency.
Trend: Greater enterprise functionality of smart phones and handhelds
Product: Palm Pre smart phone and webOS operating system
The blockbuster of the show was easily the Palm Pre smart phone and its webOS operating system. Whenever anyone even mentioned the Pre, eyes would glaze over with some powerful emotion — was it love, or lust, or joy? Most likely it was a combination of all three. Demonstrating the Pre at the press conference, Palm chairman Jon Rubinstein showed off the intuitive user interface based on touch gestures — slide, pinch, zoom — that let you spin your data around like a partner in a tango. The audience at the demo practically swooned at each dip and spin. Even so, the Pre offered a simple beauty without excess. No buttons, no window panes, no applications to keep loading and switching. The Pre also offers an ambient light sensor so you could check it in a movie theater at a dimmer brightness.
And the Pre didn't solely rely on touch. The curved device, which features a 3.1-inch screen that curves toward you, slides open to reveal a QWERTY keyboard.
All of the Linux-based webOS applications — contacts, calendar, music, e-mail, search — communicate with the Web. Appropriately, considering the Vegas setting, Rubinstein used a "deck of cards" analogy to describe the way you could stack and shuffle applications. The Synergy e-mail system compiles all e-mail formats—gmail, Outlook, Verizon—into one synched list.
As of this writing, no price has been set, but the smitten multitude speculated on the Internet that the Pre could cost as much as $399. Sprint-Nextel says it will roll out the first Pre smart phones in the United States during the first half of the year.
Product: Blackberry Curve 8900 smart phone
Research in Motion officially announced the BlackBerry Curve 8900 from T-Mobile on Jan. 7, the day before CES officially opened. RIM added enhanced multimedia features, a Global Positioning System receiver and built-in WiFi 802.11 b/g support to this more standard handheld. It also offers a 480-by-352 pixel video camera, and a cryptographic lithium cell battery that provides up to 5.5 hours of talk time.
The new BlackBerry also offers a full QWERTY keyboard and is lighter and thinner than its predecessors. No longer just for e-mail and phone, the Curve 8900 supports a memory card up to 16G to accommodate the music, photos and videos that have become common. The Curve 8900 from T-Mobile is scheduled to go on sale next month at T-Mobile stores and online at www.T-Mobile.com. Pre-order prices on the Internet were mostly in the $449 to $500 range.
Trend: Smaller, more portable, full computing in mini-laptops
Product: Sony VAIO P-series Lifestyle PC
At CES, the best example of the mini-laptop PC trend, sometimes referred to as netbooks, was the Sony VAIO P-series Lifestyle PC. The crowd around the Sony booth was almost silent, they were so absorbed in trying out the 8-inch, 1.4-pound notebook. A carnival-style barker touted the notebook's features, demonstrating how it fit into the pocket of his cargo pants. He described the P-series target audience as senior vice presidents, or someone who needs to take a PC almost everywhere.
I have to admit that I got a travel-sized makeup kit for Christmas that was bigger than the P-series.
The keyboard felt smoother and more comfortable than the one on my primary desktop PC, and the screen was more vivid. The P-series comes in black, white, dark red and green with a glimmering metallic sheen.
Sony is marketing it as a secondary laptop, not a primary one. It also features a GPS, Windows Vista and a four-hour battery that can be expanded with a larger capacity battery to eight hours. A 1.33-GHz Intel Atom processor helps keep the unit cool and quiet, incorporating a fanless design. It was late in the day when I got to the Sony booth. The demonstrator said the unit had been running all day, yet when I touched the P-series, it was cool.
The P-series is available for pre-sale now at www.sony.com and at retailers next month. A unit with a 60G standard hard drive will sell for $900; a 128G solid-state drive will also be available.
Product: HP Pavilion dV2
HP also debuted the Pavilion dV2, another entry in the laptop category, which uses AMD's Yukon architecture. The dV2 weighs about 3.8 pounds and is 1.3 inches thick. It has a 12.1-inch diagonal LED BrightView display with a nearly full-sized keyboard and is scheduled to go on sale in April for about $700.
Product: HP Pavilion dv3
The company also unveiled the HP Pavilion dv3, a 4.35-pound, 1.01-inch thick, 13.3-inch display machine that runs on an AMD Turion chip. It's designed to enhance entertainment options, including advanced graphics and video, and will sell for around $800.
Trend: A more stable Windows operating system.
Product: Windows 7
A new Windows OS is always big news, and Windows 7 is no exception. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer gave a preview of 7 at the show's keynote on Jan. 6. A beta version of the software is available for download now at Microsoft's Web site. This trend may be based on a single product, but when it's the operating system the federal government uses, you can bet that it will affect almost everything feds do.
The new operating system keeps what users liked about Windows Vista and tosses what they didn't, said Aaron Coldiron, Microsoft senior marketing manager. Windows 7 runs on a foundation of Windows Vista, so it has all the security features of that OS, including Bit Locker drive encryption, Coldiron said.
One of the comments that came up in a survey of 250,000 Vista users was that they were annoyed by all the prompts and pop-up notes, Coldiron said. The operating system sent too many messages informing users of all it was doing on their behalf.
Windows 7 lets users decide which application prompts it should send, if any, and when. This will enable a speedier, more streamlined system. All the bells and whistles on Vista were what prompted user complaints of slowness, Coldiron said.
The latest Windows incorporates Windows Touch, which will offer support for touch technology. Users will be able to zoom in on an image by moving two fingers closer together on screen or zoom out by moving two fingers apart. The Windows Start menu, Windows Taskbar and Windows Explorer have larger, more finger-friendly icons.
Bonus trend: Touch everything!
Actually, touch was another keyword that described this year's CES. Almost everything had a touch screen, from PDAs to laptops. Samsung even showed a touch-screen Coke machine. Expect to be able to paw your way to an ice cold Coke in the very near future!
Especially noteworthy in the non-potable category was Hewlett Packard's Touchsmart tx2z series, which features an AMD Turion processor. Users can use the same touch gestures they are already familiar with from their iPhones and other touch-based devices, HP representatives said.
Sad but hopeful trend: the economy
On the second day of CES, the Bureau of Labor Statistics announced that the unemployment rate had reached 7.2 percent, the highest since 1993. CES' characteristic party mood was palpably diminished, and the idea of spending $2,500 to buy a 40-inch TV display seemed positively distasteful.
Attendance at the show was down 10 percent, and CES veterans confided to me, a newbie, that the mood was more somber than in previous years. People shouldered their laptops and headed back home through a snowstorm that played havoc with airline schedules.
"There's always next year," they assured one another. "It'll pick up next year.

Trijewels is amazing if you are looking for a jeweler to create that special piece! I found an emerald ring on their website I have been looking for for years, and ordered. They reached out to confirm my order as well as letting me preview the stones for my ring. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Can't wait to order my next item! thank you!!
Bought a ring for my wife after the birth of our first child. This ring was designed to sit with her wedding and engagement rings that were designed by a different jeweler. The team at trijewels took an amazing attention to detail to ensure that this new ring would match exactly to the others. On top of that, after I received the ring, we found my wife's fingers never fully returned to their normal width after the pregnancy and the ring needed to be resized. Without a question they sent me a return label to send the ring back, enlarged it free of charge, and sent it back in a timely manor to our exact specifications. I will most definitely be a returning customer to this exemplary example of what a business should be.
I absolutely love my ring.It met all my expectations. The gold is beautiful, the diamonds are so sparkly, the size is perfect. I wear it everyday. Great experience. I will definitely be ordering again!!Vijay even called me minutes after I placed my order. Great customer care.❤
Wonderful doing business with Trijewels. I had a little trouble with the site when ordering. However it was addressed within 24hours and it allowed me the opportunity to work with Vijay directly. He offered his expert opinion on my matching my wedding ring with my previously purchased engagement ring (not Trijewels). I went with a 2.7mm 10 stone blue diamond rose gold band. Sz 6. I have slender fingers so against my 4.8 carat sapphire this was perfect. Soo in love with it! I got my ring in a few weeks. My wedding day is tomorrow... CANT WAIT TO WEAR IT! THANKS VIJAY
I received my ruby and white gold wedding band today and could not be happier. The quality is excellent, the customer service second to none and the stones are brilliant. I will recommend Trijewels to my friends and family.
This "stackable ring" is just that - a perfect accent to my engagement ring and wedding band. They were very easy to work with and willing to help make some changes when asked. They kept me aware of the status of the ring and it came in a timely manner. Looking forward to working with them again.

|Condition or disease
|Alpha-1-antitrypsin Deficiency Liver Cirrhosis
|Drug: Drug-Carbamazepine (Tegretol XR) Drug: Carbamazepine (Tegretol XR) Placebo
|Phase 2
The primary objective is to determine if Carbamazepine therapy in patients with severe liver disease due to Alpha-1-Antitrypsin Deficiency leads to a significant reduction in the hepatic accumulation of ATZ.
The other objectives are:
To determine whether Carbamazepine treatment reduces hepatic fibrosis in alpha-1-antitrypsin deficient patients with severe liver disease. To determine whether Carbamazepine treatment reduces portal pressure in alpha-1-antitrypsin deficient patients with severe liver disease. To determine whether Carbamazepine treatment is safe and tolerated by patients with severe liver disease caused by alpha-1-deficiency. To determine whether Carbamazepine treatment leads to stabilization in disease severity as measured by the MELD scores.
|Study Type :
|Interventional (Clinical Trial)
|Estimated Enrollment :
|30 participants
|Intervention Model:
|Parallel Assignment
|Quadruple (Participant, Care Provider, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor)

Active Comparator: Drug-Carbamazepine (Tegretol XR)
One arm receives Drug-Carbamazepine (Tegretol XR).All subjects have severe liver disease due to alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency.
Drug: Drug-Carbamazepine (Tegretol XR)
To reduce the likelihood of hypersensitivity reactions the subjects will be started on 400 mg/day in 2 doses and the dose will be increased weekly by 200mg/day until reaching a stable therapeutic concentration with a dose not exceeding 1200mg/day(or 1000mg/day in subjects less than 15 years of age). The CBZ tablets will be encapsulated, and the placebo group will receive encapsulated tablets without CBZ.
Other Names:
Placebo Comparator: Drug-Carbamazepine (Tegretol XR) Placebo
One arm receives Carbamazepine (Tegretol-XR) placebo.All subjects have severe liver disease due to alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency.
Drug: Carbamazepine (Tegretol XR) Placebo
Carbamazepine (Tegretol XR)Placebo-the subjects will be started on 400mg/day in 2 doses and the dose will be increased weekly by 200 mg/day until reaching a dose not exceeding 1200 mg/day (or 1000 mg/day in subjects less than 15 years of age). The placebo group will receive encapsulated tables without Carbamazepine.
Other Name: Carbamazepine (Tegretol-XR) placebo.
- The primary outcome will be to determine the effect of Carbamazepine on hepatic ATZ load. [ Time Frame: 52 weeks ]The effect of Carbamazepine on hepatic ATZ load will be measured by the number of hepatocytes with PAS+/diastase-resistant globules and/or steady state levels of ATZ by immunoblot analysis.
- For the secondary outcomes we will determine the effect of Carbamazepine treatment on hepatic fibrosis. [ Time Frame: 52 weeks ]For the secondary outcomes we will determine the effect of Carbamazepine treatment on hepatic fibrosis on the basis of sirius red staining and hydroxyproline concentration and whether Carbamazepine treatment changes portal pressure as determined by Hepatic Venous Pressure Gradient.
- For the secondary outcome we will determine if Carbamazepine treatment reduces the MELD score. [ Time Frame: 52 weeks. ]This will be determined by monitoring the MELD score at the beginning and end of the 12-month treatment period, including measuring at seven follow-up visits while on active medication or placebo. The change in MELD score for subjects on active medication will be compared to that in subjects on placebo.Safety and tolerability will be investigated by close observation and routine laboratory testing of the 30 subjects.

I just dropped a new project: The #NationHood Mixtape on SoundCloud and RPM.fm…really happy with how this one came out.
With a 90s NWA-style cover and a kick-ass lineup of Indigenous and allied hip-hop artists from around the world who got down with contributing music to make it happen, it's been amazing to compile, it's re-ignited my love for hip-hop as a global language for liberation, and it's been amazing to see the response so far. Respect to everyone who's supported and been involved.
Download listen share and enjoy:
Also, RPM is back online! Support #Revolution2 and the return of Revolutions Per Minute—the only Indigenous music site of its kind.
And for your listening pleasure, here's the previous mixtape I compiled for the Indigenous Leadership Forum last spring—the #ILF2013 Mixtape. It's maxed out on SoundCloud downloads, but you can still stream it below:

Declarative Architectures in Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
I deal with computing architectures by first laying out requirements, and then laying in any constraints for it's success. Only then do I bring in computing elements to apply to the system. As an example, a requirement might be "world-side availability" and a constraint might be "with less than 80ms response time and full HA" or something similar. Then I can choose from the best fit of technologies which range from full-up on-premises computing to IaaS, PaaS or SaaS.
I also deal in abstraction layers - on-premises systems are fully under your control, in IaaS the hardware is abstracted (but not the OS, scale, runtimes and so on), in PaaS the hardware and the OS is abstracted and you focus on code and data only, and in SaaS everything is abstracted - you merely purchase the function you want (like an e-mail server or some such) and simply use it.
When you think about solutions this way, the architecture moves to the primary factor in your decision. It's problem-first architecting, and then laying in whatever technology or vendor best fixes the problem.
To that end, most architects design a solution using a graphical tool (I use Visio) and then creating documents that let the rest of the team (and business) know what is required. It's the template, or recipe, for the solution. This is extremely easy to do for SaaS - you merely point out what the needs are, research the vendor and present the findings (and bill) to the business. IT might not even be involved there. In PaaS it's not much more complicated - you use the same Application Lifecycle Management and design tools you always have for code, such as Visual Studio or some other process and toolset, and you can "stamp out" the application in multiple locations, update it and so on.
IaaS is another story. Here you have multiple machines, operating systems, patches, virus scanning, run-times, scale-patterns and tools and much more that you have to deal with, since essentially it's just an in-house system being hosted by someone else. You can certainly automate builds of servers - we do this as technical professionals every day. From Windows to Linux, it's simple enough to create a "build script" that makes a system just like the one we made yesterday. What is more problematic is being able to tie those systems together in a coherent way (as a solution) and then stamp that out repeatedly, especially when you might want to deploy that solution on-premises, or in one cloud vendor or another.
Lately I've been working with a company called RightScale that does exactly this. I'll point you to their site for more info, but the general idea is that you document out your intent for a set of servers, and it will deploy them to on-premises private clouds, Windows Azure, and other public cloud providers all from the same script. In other words, it doesn't contain the images or anything like that - it contains the scripts to build them on-premises in private clouds or on a public cloud vendor like Microsoft.
Using a tool like this, you combine the steps of designing a system (all the way down to passwords and accounts if you wish) and then the document drives the distribution and implementation of that intent. As time goes on and more and more companies implement solutions on various providers (perhaps for HA and DR) then this becomes a compelling investigation.
The RightScale information is here, if you want to investigate it further. Yes, there are other methods I've found, but most are tied to a single kind of cloud, and I'm not into vendor lock-in.

This is an assembled combination of the TPP2 Size 2 Tibbo Project PCB and the TPB2L-KIT Size 2 Tibbo Project Box. The box comes already assembled, and the PCB comes already installed in the box, so all you have to do is open the top and add Tibbits to build your customized embedded system.
The box includes wall-mounting holes. With optional hardware, it can be mounted on a DIN Rail instead.
This assembled system includes Tibbit remover tongs and packaging as shown. Use the tongs to remove the blank Tibbit pieces wherever you need to install a C Tibbit. With most of the assembly already done for you, this Barebones System is a convenient time saver. If you prefer to save money, you can purchase the TPP2 PCB and TBP2L-KIT separately and assemble the system yourself.
There are two box kits that support the Size 2 PCB. This version is best for building a device with a direct human interface. It includes a 3.5" 320×240 TFT LCD plus four-button keypad that will fit on top.
For non-HMI applications, see the TPS2 system which includes paper inserts (you can write connection details on them) and plastic protectors that will fit on top instead.
The TPP2 provides three "tiles" which equates to six M and six C sockets for Tibbits. Plug in desired Tibbits to create a cost-effective, highly customized automation device that carries no unwanted excess.
To achieve an economical basic unit price, the TPP keeps the on-board circuitry to the necessary minimum. For example, there is no built-in power supply; the board directly accepts only regulated +5V power. Real-world power processing (from 12V, PoE, etc.) is achieved by adding power supply Tibbits. This "no excess" approach is the cornerstone of the Tibbo Project System.
This smaller TPP can implement configurations with up to four simple serial ports, up to 12 relays, or up to 24 opto-inputs, PWM, and open-collector outputs. It is perfect for data collection and AutoID projects, as well as factory, shop, data center, hotel, and home automation applications. The board contains enough C sockets to accommodate temperature, humidity, pressure, ambient light, and shock sensors simultaneously. With the use of appropriate Tibbits, the board can even control legacy IR devices by emulating traditional IR remote controls.
High-level objects simplify your code and allow you to create a data-transport application with just a few lines of code:
View the TIDE, TiOS, Tibbo BASIC and Tibbo C Online Manual.
View Tibbo BASIC Introduction Videos.
View a video of the Serial-over-IP application showing WiFi support.
View a video of the Tibbo Connection Wizard showing how to create a Virtual Serial Port and link it with the Device Server.
Once you're happy with your setup, go to the Tibbits Category and purchase each Tibbit that you have determined your system will need.
You can also choose the optional WiFi module below. Just be sure also to select both Tibbit #37 and the WiFi antenna listed under it.

The Original Fitch Cheney puzzle goes like this:
A Volunteer from the crowd chooses any five cards at random from a deck, and hands them to you so that nobody else can see them. You glance at them briefly, and hand one card bakc, which the volunteer then places face down on the table to one side. You quickly place the remaining four cards face up on the table, in a row from left to right. Your confederate, who has not been privy to any of the proceedings so far, arrives on the scene, inspects the faces of the four cards, and promptly names the hidden fifth card.
The solution to this is:
One of the 4 suits must be represented 2 times in your set of 5 cards due to the pigeon hole principle. Consider the 13 cards of that suit A=1,... K=13 to be arranged in a clockwise circle. We can see that the cards are at most 6 away from each other, meaning counting clockwise one of them lies at most 6 vertices past the other. Use the "higher" one as the hidden card and place the "lower" one as the first card face up on the table.
Now, using an established value for all 52 cards in the deck, the remaining 3 cards can be placed in 6 orders, Low-Middle-High=1, LHM=2, MLH=3, MHL=4, HLM=5, and HML=6, and give each one of these a value of +1,..., +6 from the first card.
For example, Jc, 2c, 3h, 4d, 2s are handed to you. Choosing the lower club, (2-Jack(11) Mod 13 is 4, so the Jack is the lower one and the 2 is +4 from the jack. Hide the 2c and place the Jc in the first spot. Then using MHL, our +4 value, we arrange the remaining 3 cards with the 3 first, than the 4, now the 2. This implies that the hidden card is a club, and it is +4 from the Jc in the first spot, so we know it is the 2c.
The 124 card solution is discussed in the January 2001 issue of Emissary or Michael Kleber's article in The Mathematical Intelligencer, Winter 2002 (which I don't have access to).
It can be shown that with 5 cards there is a strategy to do the trick on a deck of size up to 124 cards (n!+(n-1)).
My question is this: With the audience choosing n cards out of a deck of size (n!+(n-1)) and one card being hidden, how many unique strategies could the magician and the assistant use?

I'm in christchurch if there any installers in my area, otherwise i might have to disconnect broadband and change isps, so can get it for more reasonable price.

It's Strawberry Season at Hardee's
Jun 18, 2008
New Strawberry Biscuit is a Great Way to Start the Day
ST. LOUIS, Mo. – June 17, 2008 – Summer just got a little sweeter with the addition of the new Strawberry Biscuits on Hardee's breakfast menu. The marriage of one of summer's most popular fruits with Hardee's signature Made from Scratch™ biscuits helps make the season that much more enjoyable.
"After our Blueberry Biscuits proved to be so popular with our customers last year, we began working on other fruit-filled biscuits to have ready for this summer and the Strawberry Biscuit was the runaway favorite," said Brad Haley, executive vice-president of marketing. "To this day, we have guests begging us to bring back the Blueberry Biscuits, but the new Strawberry Biscuit, with sliced strawberries in strawberry syrup ladled onto a Made from Scratch buttermilk biscuit and drizzled with icing, should satisfy their cravings. And, if they need even more of a strawberry fix, they can order one of our latest Hand-Scooped Ice Cream Shake™ flavors, the Strawberry Banana Smoothie, for lunch or dinner."
The Strawberry Biscuit is sold individually, or in 2- or 6-pack boxes for $0.99, $1.59 and $3.59, respectively. It can also be purchased in a small combo, featuring hash rounds and a small coffee, juice or drink for $2.59.

Lurking above the townsite of Banff are 3 tough ice routes. From left to right, they are:
Terminator, the Replicant ,and Sea of Vapors.
On our second try, Jess R and I tagged a dream of a route. I have been obsessing over it for over a decade. It was so amazing and I will be stoked on it for a long time to come. Conditions, weather, and stoke all came together this time for a great day in Banff. The approach went on forever. The avy danger was non-factor, thank god. It is steep and wanders up and over many features. It is nice to have a boot track, but it will blow over with the wind and you will wallow in some places up high. The 1st pitch was hollow, hooky, bouldery, and sketch. The 2nd is steep and sustained. the 3rd was so long and I got so tired, I stopped to belay after 30 meters. It was tough to follow Jesses pitch and launch into another 5+ lead. Jess then led the last short stretch to the top. I cant remember being so tired from an ice climb. The exposure was tremendous. We felt like we had just done something amazing, and we are so excited many hours later. We pulled in the night before and went right after it, revenging a trip for it a month prior. Yehaa! Cant thank Jim (of Pro Mt. Sports) enough for taking the time to get me the right gear!
We would have had better climbing shots, but the belays are tucked into tiny caves behind the icicles. Now for some pics!

Cute Ways to Cover Up at the Beach
Cute Ways to Cover Up at the Beach
Cute Ways to Cover Up
Choosing the right swimsuit is an obvious way to amp up your shoreside style, but you also can't forget about what goes over the skimpy swimwear. Stars like Miranda Kerr illustrate that the trend of wearing more innovative pieces to the beach are in full swing, so click through the gallery to see more unique ways to cover up at the beach this summer.
Miranda Kerr's Leopard Shirtdress
MiamiPIXX/FAMEFLYNET PICTURES
Miranda Kerr's choice for beachwear is a little bit less "fun in the sun" and a little bit more "minx on the prowl." Try a leopard-print shirtdress like hers to achieve a similarly playful vibe.
Leopard-Print Shirtdress
Equipment's silk skirtdress is what took Kerr's beach look from classic to vampy. The pointed collars, front pockets, and short hem length combine to make a powerful and unique beach statement.
Equipment silk shirtdress, $178; saksfifthavenue.com.
Equipment silk shirtdress, $178; saksfifthavenue.com.
Jessica Alba's Maxi Dress
Jessica Alba hit the sand in St. Barts in a casual-but-cute leopard-print infused maxi dress, wide-brimmed hat with coordinating ribbon, sunnies, and flip-flops. A full-length dress like this leaves just enough to the imagination while prettily catching the ocean breeze.
Leopard-Print Maxi Dress
Alba's dress is the Lovers + Friends Fly Away Dress, with a low scoop back and pockets for beach-friendly things like sunnies and chapstick. Lovers + Friends maxi dress, $193; revolveclothing.com.
Bandeau Dress
For another take on the leopard-print maxi, try Topshop's bandeau dress with an elastic waist. This flowy frock especially complements a swimsuit in a similar cut. Topshop bandeau dress, $40; topshop.com.
Heidi Klum's Tie-Dye Dress
Apollo/FAMEFLYNET PICTURES
Heidi Klum hit the beach in Hawaii wearing a spaghetti strap tie-dye number that just barely allowed her bikini to peek out from underneath. The graphic print is sexy and daring, sure to catch some attention on the sand.
Tie-Dye Tank
Raquel Allegra's dirty indigo tie-dye tank dress gives off a bohemian vibe while also paying homage to the surfers of the designer's native California. Try it with a chunky statement necklace or dainty gold chain to take your beach look to the next level.

Lea Michele's Fringed Poncho
Scylla/CHARYBDIS/FAMEFLYNET PICT
Glee star Lea Michele hit the beach in Hawaii wearing an oversized fringed poncho with transparent horizontal stripes. The peek-a-boo detailing gives passersby just a glance at the teeny bikini underneath.
Fringed Poncho
The Goddis Knitwear poncho Michele donned for her sunny Hawaiian vacation can be yours! Crafted in Brazil and Peru, the knitwear piece captures the essence of the South American countries from which it takes inspiration.

Rachel Zoe's One-Shoulder Sarong Dress
Jason Winslow / Splash News
Ever-fashionable star stylist Rachel Zoe took a sandy stroll in St. Barts wearing a tribal-inspired asymmetrical sarong dress, which she paired with a big floppy hat, oversized sunnies, and a simple necklace. This high-fashion beach look is easy to replicate, and provides comfort and coverage in addition to a chic appeal.
One-Shoulder Maxi Dress
Halston Heritage's one-shoulder maxi dress with cascading sleeve has a graphic pattern that lends the silk-chiffon fabric a daytime feel. But the frock would also go well from the beach to a dinner or after-sunbathing cocktail hour.
Halston Heritage cascading maxi, $315; theoutnet.com.

Jenna Dewan-Tatum's Graphic Sarong
A growing baby bump no longer relegates you to a one-piece or mumu. Take a note from Jenna Dewan-Tatum, who took a trip to the shore in a belly-baring bikini and a brightly patterned sarong at her hips.
Naomi Watts' Printed Sarong
Maxppp /Landov
Naomi Watts put a different spin on the printed sarong, pairing her pink one with a plunging metallic one-piece suit in olive, brimmed hat, and wayfarer sunglasses. The sarong and one-piece combo can come across as a bit too modest, but follow in Watts' sandy footsteps and pick a sexy low-cut suit for a successful take on the sarong.
Embellished Sarong
For a fun take on a traditional beach look like the sarong, go for something with tasteful embellishments, like this Tory Burch piece with silver coins at the hems. It evolves nicely from a staple beach item to a swivel-encouraging hip enhancer.

Twenty-two strikeouts over 24 innings placed Chris Sale as the Cactus League leader in that category entering Friday night's contests. Even though the lanky left-hander, who turned 23 on Friday, quite possibly has the best raw stuff on the White Sox staff, he isn't worried about big strikeout numbers in his first season as a starter.
To reinforce this particular point, Sale had to ask his mom and wife how many he recorded during Thursday's victory over the Dodgers. The correct answer was seven, without issuing a walk.
"Strikeouts are great, but at the same time, you still want to attack early and often," Sale said. "That's the game plan: Get strike one and an out in three or four pitches. If that out happens to be a strikeout, then great. It's not a goal of mine to go into each game and have X amount of strikeouts."
With the innings total placed upon Sale's arm being watched in his first season as a starter and some equally young arms behind him in the bullpen, Sale realizes fewer pitches lead to a greater chance for far-ranging team and personal success.
"At the end of the day, it would be better for us as a pitching staff if I was throwing less pitches and feeling better next time out," Sale said. "Thirteen strikeouts is cool, but if you are going six innings with 120 pitches with 13 K's, that's probably not as good as a lower pitch count with less strikeouts but more innings."

Chris Sale is worried about the high pitch counts that may come with high strikeout numbers

Nokona Athletic Good Company announces the construction of a baseball bat manudacturing plant, along with a destination tourist facility in Fall River.
After years in the heart of football country the Nokona Athletic Goods Company is ready to grab a foothold in a section of Red Sox Nation.
With the aid of Gov. Deval Patrick and an assortment of local politicians, Nocona officials broke ground Monday on a 12,000 square foot facility in the city's Industrial Park.
Planned to sit on the corner of Currant and Sykes Street, Nokona managing director Buddy Lewis said the facility will be geared toward making high-end baseball bats, while becoming a destination for anyone interested in baseball.
Along with the manufacturing center, the facility is planned to include an outdoor baseball diamond and indoor batting cages to give visitors an opportunity to use the company's bats. Also expected to be constructed is a cafe that will serve ballpark type foods and a factory outlet store.
