MendoCoastCurrent, June 25, 2010
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) today proposed to build on its Order No. 890 open access transmission reforms by establishing a closer link between regional electric transmission planning and cost allocation to help ensure that needed transmission facilities actually are built.
The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR) is based on an extensive record: three years of monitoring implementation of Order No. 890, three regional technical conferences and examination of more than 150 sets of comments filed in response to an October 2009 request for comment on transmission planning and cost allocation. It proposes and seeks comment on requiring:
- Transmission providers to establish a closer link between cost allocation and regional transmission planning by identifying and establishing cost allocation methods for beneficiaries of new transmission facilities;
- Transmission planning to take into account needs driven by public policy requirements established by state or federal laws or regulations;
- Neighboring transmission planning regions to improve their coordination with respect to facilities that are proposed to be constructed in two adjacent regions and could address transmission needs more efficiently than separate intraregional facilities; and
- The removal from Commission-approved tariffs or agreements provisions that provide an undue advantage to an incumbent developer so that sponsors of transmission projects have the right, consistent with state or local laws or regulations, to build and own facilities selected for inclusion in regional transmission plans.
"Our nation needs a transmission grid that can accommodate rising consumer demand for a more diverse mix of power generators and the sophisticated technology of the smart grid," FERC Chairman Jon Wellinghoff said. "To do that, we must make sure FERC transmission policies are open and fair to all."
A significant aspect of the proposal is the requirement that transmission planning take into account public policy requirements, such as state-mandated renewable portfolio standards. Doing so during the transmission planning process will help ensure these legal requirements are met in a way that is fair and efficient to transmission customers.
The proposal also ties cost allocation to the regional transmission planning processes to facilitate the transition from planning to implementation. This ensures that only those consumers benefiting from transmission facilities are charged for associated costs, and gives each region the first opportunity to develop cost allocation mechanisms and identify how the benefits of transmission facilities will be determined. Comments are due 60 days after publication in the Federal Register.

More than 2,200 people got up early Saturday morning to participate in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk.
They gathered around Lake Carolyn in Las Colinas where NBC 5 Today anchor Mark Hayes emceed and NBC 5 News at 5pm Anchor and Consumer Investigative Reporter Deanna Dewberry shared her story of being a three-time cancer survivor.
"I had treatment all the way through 2011," said Dewberry. "[I] had the chemo, had the double mastectomy, had more chemo. And I can say, two years out, I am happy, I am healthy, and I am cancer free," she said to a cheering audience.
The latest news from around North Texas.
Grapevine resident Claudia Wyngaarde was among the faces cheering on the walkers.
"It's amazing to see how much support we get," she said. "And at the same time I realize we're not alone. We have all this support behind us to keep us moving."
Wyngaarde said she was diagnosed with breast cancer last November. She is a mother of a 12-year-old daughter and a 15-year-old son.
"I want to be here for them, and I want this to make it a long way. So it's just a life changing episode when you hear the word," she said.
She also added that events like Making Strides Against Breast Cancer are really making a difference in her life.
"Medication I'm taking right now is actually rather new. It was found five years ago. So, continue the support, yes," she said.
Wyngaarde said feeding off the energy of the thousands of walkers was just as important as cheering them on. "I realized that, 'OK, it's real' and I can fight. And I'll win. I want to win," she said.
The event raised a total of more than $130,000 for the American Cancer Society.

Post subject: Kiters violating the no kiting zones at Kanaha
What's up with the daily increase of number of kiters blatantly violating the no kiting zones at Kanaha lately?
Every day more are flaunting the rules and coming right into the launch at Uppers. I noted a large group launching from the houses up under the runway 3 days ago and then proceed to mow their way down through the windsurf launch. all the while being right in the thick of the Olokai SUP race.
Two were showboating and landed up near Kook's cove. I checked the mauikiteboarding site and all of these incidents are in direct violation of what is posted.
Asked one of them what they were doing in there and they said no one can enforce it or make us leave.
What happened to the no fly zones under the runways,the common courtesy, and the idea thqt rules apply to everybody.
Are the shops so in search of the all mighty dollar that they don't encourage or inform their clients of the rules?
I, for one and fed up with these kiters and will cease with the friendly smile and wave that I have emitted in the past. NO more monoplozing the reef break at Uppers please.

As a Maui-vacationeer only, I must echo this request! The FAA rules are clear and anyone violating the no-fly zone is endangering access-- for locals and others from around the world. If you are a kiter and claiming "no one can tell you where to fly" then you need a serious reality check. If this account from McBroom is true, then you are really pissing some people off... cut it out, would 'ya?

Yeah, right. I've seen everything from fists to car damage to a spear fired into a WS board while it was planing used to keep unwanted "guests" in line on Maui. Why, there are even LEGAL ways to keep them where and when they belong. These guys are in for a rude awakening ... which suits their behavior.

Last month the kiters were in rare form on Maui. I have to say there were only 4 or 5 out of 30+ who were in the FAA zone, and 3 or 4 acting aggresively. However, the ones who were, made it a point to slash carving jibes in front of the waves where there were sailors, hooting and shouting.
I will point out that one kiter in his 50's who sails bare chested with curly brown hair and is very tanned, (leather) made it a point to harrass every sailor he could. The guys in the shops know him as a bad seed. Maybe you know him. He sailed in to the life guard shack and east. He is very arrogant and dangerous. Another kiter had his board cut in half after failing a gybe in front of an outgoing sailor.
I think the kite shops should voluntarily police this kind of behavior. If the FAA gets involved, it might mean further restrictions or a total shutdown. This would not be good for Maui.

I spoke to the lifeguards about a similar problem last year. The FAA rules and the no launch at Kanaha rule is the only enforcable rule. I agree that the
FAA guys are powerful scary cops and best avoided.
The lifeguard said that kiters out of Sprecks are mostly tourists who go away.He said the others are likely to get settled up surfer style if they go on for long. These factors probably explain why the problem is only at intervals.
In ten years at Uppers my friends and I only had to convince one guy to exit. They dont want to crash either. He seemed to conclude that sailing in Uppers was too dangerously crowded whenever he showed up, since we " didnt undrstand" right of way.

I cannot speak for Maui but things have improved immensely down at Crissy Field over the years. For the most part we all get along. Part of it is the collective evolution of both the windsurfing and kiting communities.
I will admit that I used to get pissed off left and right with their behavior and a feeling that they were endangering my safety. Maybe the equipment has gotten better and maybe the group of responsible regulars are policing the newbies and visitors. Those regulars are well aware that the stupid selfish and irresponsible behavior of a few idiots will threaten to shut down their sport. If I were a kiter and my access to the north shore of Maui was contingent on FAA approval, I would be really really concerned but let them worry about it.
Showing up at the beach and being happy with the people you share the place with is a much healthier way to go through life. Bitching about it online ain't going to solve the problem. Honestly, all it does is fire up Isobars and his nihilistic Tea Party Rhetoric. Keep smiling out on the water. You are in Maui and have a lot to be happy about.

Isobars wants everyone to follow the rules, under threat of a speargun attack, yet proudly boasts of his 100mph public road manliness. What a guy.

I am a regular Upper's WS and for the most part, the kiters are pretty good. However, there are a few (we all know who they are) that obviously have ego issues and thrive on harassing others instead of enjoying the moment in the waves - too bad huh? Really doesn't bother us WS. But when you throw a couple of "GREEN" kiters in the mix that DO NOT know the rules and can't turn, are constantly losing their boards - now that really makes for a mess up there. I think both the shops and the schools that instruct and provide kite information (like Dorn) should not encourage kiters to venture to the upper break unless they are experts and following the wave rules (most of them don't know the water rules or just don't care which is SAD). BTW - after attending a meeting between the Kite Association and the FAA, the FAA basically said they were lacking the rules. So don't look for any intervention from them. Just be ready to make a quick chicken jibe, tack or just run them over. haa haa

Out today and the problem was worse. 21+ kiters in Uppers when I pulled off of the water. Very few knew the right of way rules but for the most part they did stay upwind (at least until the lifeguards went off duty). There were a lot of very inexperienced kiters though, plowing their way downwind through the windsurfing launch. 2 landed on the windsurf beach and then took off or deflated they kites.
They appear to be launching from a series of tents from one of the private houses under the runway.
Someone has to inform them of the rues. They are in direct violation of FAA guidelines. As a kiter and windsurfer, I do not want access to the North shore compromised.
Work on education is definitely needed.
And yes, I have seen the kiter with the bare chest, and had to do a chicken jibe the other day after a port tack kiter hucked large without looking, given way when on a starboard tack under powered as a kiter pushed me out of the waves repeatedly and yes , I am loosing my sense of respect and patience for the kiters. 30+ windsurfers on Uppers, no problem.Add 3 or more aggressive kiters and it becomes a whole different story.
Still loving the Maui windsurfing though.

Yep, I was out in Uppers today and it was ok until 4 PM when the lifeguards left. They tended to stay inside the reef near the houses and looked very inexperienced. But after 4 they tried the waves and it got busy. Today was the worst I have seen and I have been here since September.

It was an easy and quiet ride. I find myself savoring the quiet lately even more than usual. I've never found the prospect of being a hermit very appealing, but when you're in the right mood, there are few better feelings than luxuriating in the near-silence of a solitary bike ride on a cold winter morning. Even in the city, which is never really quiet and even in Washington, which is a chatty place. City quiet, to my mind, is far preferable than country quiet, which I find to be far to quiet and also better than Quiet Riot. I simply just don't want to cum on the feel the noize and especially not when I'm on my bicycle. I would probably fall off as a result.
East Capitol to Pennsylvania Avenue where I followed a guy and two kids as they rode, presumably, to school. They kids were young, maybe 7 or 8, but they were hauling. They turned at 7th street, about a block before I saw a taxi driver make one and then a second u-turn across the Pennsylvania Avenue bike lanes. I wonder if the driver has kids.
I followed Penn to 15th and stuck to 15th until R. The cycle track was crowded, especially heading south. It was even crowded with bicyclists and not just leaves. Near Rhode Island Avenue, an oblvious woman crossing the street nearly walked into me as I rode toward the intersection. If ignore of the world around them is bliss, then half of the people walking/driving/biking around DC must be transcendentally happy.
This sign is new, I think.
|Begin Right Turn Lane/ Yield to Bikes
Rode up Massachusetts and more than 3/4 of the way up, I was passed by another bicyclist. This hasn't happened in a very long time, mostly on account of not my blazing fast climbing skillz, but because so few others ride up the hill in the morning. I decided that I would try to keep up, but then I decided that giving up and continuing to ride slowly was more in keeping with sociability/my effort level. Plus, I caught up to him at the light at Wisconsin, so it's like I'm basically just as good at riding bikes as him so shut up ok. I'm adopting the posture of "competitive commuter bicyclist" for comic relief, such as it is, rather than from actual belief. I gave up caring about being slower than other bicyclists a long time ago because if I did care about that and kept a secret diary and voodoo doll representations of every bicyclist who has proven him or herself faster than me (and I totally don't do this so don't even look under my bed or other if you experience mysterious sharp knee pain), I would have run out space in that diary and in the compartment under my bed where I store my other, more practical, voodoo dolls.

time for an update! here are the most important things of the day (if you happen to be looking at the world through a kaleidoscope, like i am).
ONE: corgis on a treadmill? why??? check out this adorable video. i know there are really only two corgis…but are there really only two corgis?! YOU decide!
TWO: iowa contributes to national news? this is definitely newsworthy. iowa state used their carillon to play lady gaga's BAD ROMANCE. the video is over five minutes long (which may be longer than the actual song), so don't waste your time watching it. just revel in the fact that iowa is once again leaving its mark on this amazing nation.
THREE: angry man tries to pay his property tax with 33,000 pennies. i love this story so much, but that's really all there is to it. he went to the treasurers office and tried to pay his $330 property tax, in pennies, but was DENIED. justice? where is the JUSTICE? if you want to read more about this amazing story, check it out here on gawker.
FOUR: oh my godddd, can you even handle this photograph? i love this so much, mostly because of this quote: 'once the shock wears off, i'm sure she'll say yes.' yeah? are you sure? who is this guy anyway? it doesn't matter. anyway, in reference to this photo, i say mostly because let's not forget his amazing pants, tan, or tattoos. his dead stare makes me wish he was asking me. but i digress.
FIVE: this faaaantastic gem of a german man, thilo sarrazin finally broke the silence about jews, and said that 'all jews share a certain gene.' yeah? cool! maybe we should put them somewhere where they can all be together, comfortably. maybe…in a…camp! sorry thilo, someone already thought of that. read more on that here.
well, that's that! see you next week for news with natalie!
love always,

Here's one you don't see every day: Google telling Wall Street analysts that their estimates are too high.
Google issued the heads-up this morning, via a blog post on its investor relations page, ahead of Q4 earnings on Tuesday.
The gist: Google is selling off its Motorola set-top-box unit — its "Home business" — so it's not going to include numbers from that group in its main report.
But apparently the Street hasn't figured that one out. "As of this writing, a majority of Wall Street analysts who cover Google have not reflected the Home business as discontinued operations in their estimates," writes chief accountant Brent Callinicos.
In real-world terms, Google is telling the Street that its Q4 net revenue will be about $1 billion less than the $12.4 billion they are expecting, and that their consensus EPS of $10.58 is about 40 cents too high, as well.
Perhaps it's not a coincidence that J.P. Morgan's Doug Anmuth put out new estimates last night that don't include the set-top-box group. Here's what those look like (the new numbers also include a few tweaks Anmuth made regarding the rest of Google's operations):

I've tried this now on two different machines on two different networks. It may have to do with something I've got in Firefox though, I understand that. Not sure if anyone else is seeing this?
When I set up a mailing, under the "Trackable Links" tab, at the bottom when I go to set the drop downs, in Firefox 40.0.2 the drop down won't let me select them. In IE it works fine. All other web sites appear to be working fine with the Firefox drop downs. I'm not sure if it's a problem with Firefox and/or one of the add-ons, or if it's a problem with OpenEmm at this point... will look into it more.

The Four Phases of Emergency Management:
Preparedness takes the form of plans or procedures designed to save lives and to minimize damage when an emergency occurs. This is a continuous cycle of planning, organizing, training, equipping, exercising, evaluation and improvement activities to ensure effective coordination and the enhancement of capabilities to prevent, protect against, respond to, recover from and mitigate the effects of natural disasters, acts of terrorism and other man-made disasters. These activities ensure that when a disaster strikes, emergency managers will be able to provide the best response possible.
In the preparedness phase, emergency managers develop plans of action to manage and counter their risks and take action to build the necessary capabilities needed to implement such plans. Common preparedness measures include:
Emergency Managers in the planning phase should be flexible and all encompassing – carefully recognizing the risks and exposures of their respective regions and employing unconventional and atypical means of support. Depending on the region – municipal or private sector emergency services can rapidly be depleted and heavily taxed. The Federal Emergency Management Agency recommends that each person should be prepared to be self-sufficient - able to live without running water, electricity and/or gas, and telephones - for at least three days following a disaster.
Preparedness link include:
The response phase includes the mobilization of the necessary emergency services and first responders in the disaster area. This is likely to include a first wave of core emergency services, such as firefighters, police and ambulance crews. Response is defined as the actions taken to save lives and prevent further damage in a disaster or emergency situation. Response is putting preparedness plans into action. Response activities may include damage assessment, search and rescue, fire fighting and sheltering victims.
Organizational response to any significant disaster is based on existing emergency management organizational systems and processes: the Federal Response Plan (FRP) and the Incident Command System (ICS).
Police protection in the Township is provided by the Cheltenham Township Police Department.
Emergency Medical Services are provided by Cheltenham Township Emergency Medical Service.
There are five fire departments in Cheltenham Township which are operated strictly by volunteers. These fire departments are responsible for performing a number of challenging duties such as controlling fires, saving lives, providing emergency services to victims, saving property and protecting the environment. The departments are: Cheltenham Hook & Ladder #1, La Mott Fire Company, Elkins Park Fire Company, Glenside Fire Company and Ogontz Fire Company.
Recovery is defined as the actions taken to return the community to normal following a disaster. Repairing, replacing, or rebuilding property are examples of recovery.
The aim of the recovery phase is to restore the affected area to its previous state. It differs from the response phase in its focus; recovery efforts are concerned with issues and decisions that must be made after immediate needs are addressed. Recovery efforts are primarily concerned with actions that involve rebuilding destroyed property, re-employment, and the repair of other essential infrastructure. Efforts should be made to "build back better," trying to reduce the pre-disaster risks inherent in the community and infrastructure.
The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, Public Law 93-288, as amended (the Stafford Act) was enacted to support state and local governments and their citizens when disasters overwhelm them. The disaster process and disaster aid programs explains the disaster declaration process and provides an overview of available assistance. PEMA assistance
There are individual assistance programs that assist people and businesses following a disaster and help you get back on your feet. Public Assistance Programs provides supplemental federal disaster grant assistance to help state and local governments and certain private non-profit organizations rebuild.
Mitigation is the cornerstone of emergency management. It's the continuing effort to lessen the impact that disasters have on people and property. Mitigation is defined as "sustained action that reduces or eliminates long-term risk to people and property from natural hazards and their effects."
Mitigation efforts attempt to prevent hazards from developing into disasters altogether or to reduce the effects of disasters. The mitigation phase of emergency management differs from the other phases in that it focuses on long-term measures for reducing or eliminating risk. The implementation of mitigation strategies is a part of the recovery process if applied after a disaster occurs.
Mitigation measures can be structural or non-structural. Structural measures use technological solutions like flood levees. Non-structural measures include legislation, land-use planning (e.g. the designation of nonessential land like parks to be used as flood zones), and insurance. Mitigation is the most cost-efficient method for reducing the affect of hazards, although not always the most suitable.
Any cost-effective action taken to eliminate or reduce the long-term risk to life and property from natural and technological hazards.
The phrase "cost-effective" is added to this definition to stress the important, practical idea that, to be beneficial, a mitigation measure should save money in the long run. If the cost of a mitigation project is less than the long-term costs of disaster recovery and repair for the project area, the mitigation is considered cost-effective.
Through effective mitigation practices we can ensure that fewer people and communities become victims of natural disasters. Mitigation can take many forms. It can involve such actions as:

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania State All-Hazard Mitigation Plan Each state is required to have a hazard mitigation plan in order to be eligible for certain types of federal mitigation funding. Visit the Hazard Mitigation Forms Page to view the 2010 Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's FEMA/PEMA Approved All-Hazard Mitigation Plan.
Montgomery County Hazard Mitigation Plan
The federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 requires all municipalities in the nation to have a plan for mitigating the future natural hazards to which they are vulnerable. Adoption of the plan by local governments (all townships and boroughs) is crucial as it will be a requirement for all future federal disaster funds. To assist Montgomery County municipalities in complying with this requirement, the county prepared the Montgomery County Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan, which was adopted by the Montgomery County Commissioners on March 29, 2007. All municipalities in the county adopted the plan as well. An update of the plan will be completed in 2012.
The plan is based upon an analysis of the county's overall vulnerability to various types of natural hazards. Flooding was identified as the most significant natural threat to the county as a whole. Other types of natural hazards that the county or portions of it may be vulnerable to include drought, winter storms, severe wind, subsidence, and radon. The plan examines measures to reduce these hazards, particularly flooding. These include public education, warning systems, drainage system maintenance, land use controls, stormwater management, acquisition and relocation, retrofitting, flood plain management, flood control structures, and natural resource protection.
The plan recognizes that the avoidance of disaster is a shared responsibility of various levels of local government, businesses, and residents. Implementation of the plan will require a variety of actions to lessen the impact of natural disasters. Accomplishing the selected measures in the plan will require cooperation at all levels of government and will take several years to complete. For information on the plan, contact Michael Stokes at 610.278.3729 or [email protected].

What's in a name? Experts tell us that picking the right name (for your firm) can be crucial when it comes to marketing and branding your new empire. What you call yourself can definitely sway people's first opinion of you. Think about it … would you buy ice cream from Sal Monello's Dairy Shop? Sorry Sal.
Countless books and late night infomercials have been created to guide us through the all-important name selection process. Recently, I attended a marketing symposium for financial advisors. The last session I attended was on branding your business. Naturally, the presentation was chock full of well transitioned PowerPoint slides; however, the real learning took place later that night at the bar.
As often happens at these events, many attendees realize the best way to process all the information of the day is to toss back a few cocktails that night. After dinner, I grabbed my pen, notebook and free drink coupon and headed off to see what I could learn.
It didn't take long for me to be drawn to the loud table. There was way too much laughter going on. I knew I had to investigate. I walked over to the table and interrupted them, "Excuse me, I couldn't help but notice how much fun you guys were having. Can I buy a round of drinks and hang out here … my friends are really dull."
Having been successfully assimilated into the pod, I found out why they had all been laughing so hard. They were making fun of financial advisors (gasp!). When I told them I made fun of advisors professionally, I was in.
It soon came out that my new friends all worked in the marketing departments for a number of well-known broker dealers. They worked with advisors on a daily basis to assist them with any marketing concerns they might have. Sensing a treasure trove of information, this reporter ordered another round!
I'll spare you the all the dirty sausage-making details and get right to the good stuff. For those of you thinking of branching out on your own, here are a few tips from the pros about naming your business:
Tip 1: Do not use your name in the title if your name is weird, difficult to pronounce or ironic. For example, if your last name is any of the following, you might want to go in another direction … Crook, Ahmadinejad, Madoff, Milken, Capone or Lucifer (to name a few).
Tip 2: Leave your childhood fantasies out of it. Just because you always wanted to be a cowboy, isn't a good enough reason to call your company Rodeo Clown Financial. Likewise, if you wanted to be a stand-up comic, Big Ham Advisors probably won't cut it either.
Tip 3: Avoid the obvious. As tempting as the logo possibilities might be, avoid anything with a lighthouse, compass, sailboat, map, road, path, blueprint or a Latin term you can't pronounce.
Tip 4: Don't try to be something you're not. Unless you have the college loans to prove it, you're most likely not a Physician or an Architect.
Tip 5: Listen to the pros. You don't go to a plumber to fix your cable TV. Passing the Series 7 exam is not the equivalent of a master's degree in marketing. Sorry.
So there you have it: a few, common-sense steps from the pros to help you along the path to branding greatness. Naturally, these tips apply to most advisors. The few of you that are marketing experts can feel free to blaze your own trail. You know who you are.


text: jhilahd ~ Skotos 2 Posted January 5, 2010 So I got my family to play this last night, and included another neighborhood teen(5 total) for a few games of Drakon. My daughter and I had already played it during the holidays and had a blast. But, we had something come up that caused a bit of tension on the table. A Mindcontrol chamber was placed, and my Wife entered the chamber. On her turn, she MC'd me into an adjacent room that was the Drakon Chamber. The rule for Mind Control is that "This action occurs as soon as your hero enters the chamber." Move an opponent's hero one legal move, following tile effects normally. After you move the hero, the opponent must follow the instructions of the chamber on which his or her hero is now standing. I argued that yes, she mind controled me into that room, but I could control Drakon. My reasoning was that since I must follow the instructions of the chamber. The rules don't say I must follow the rules of the instruction of the chamber and she then controls those actions. She argued that it was part of the power of the Mind control since she was still in effect, playing her turn, controling my actions. I can see both sides but just want some clarifications in case I use this strategy against her. I loved the strategy she used, as it put the hurt on me.

Dear Friends in Christ,
Across the globe, war, natural disasters, political strife, extreme poverty, and human trafficking combine to affect families in ways often unimaginable. Families are separated by migration for long periods of time, sometimes indefinitely. A decrease in the availability of visas makes prompt reunification unrealistic. Unaccompanied minors are exploited. The difficult and expensive legal system keeps families apart.
The Catholic Relief Services Collection values families. It works to provide for their basic humanitarian needs, protect vulnerable children, reunite families, and encourage legislation that reflects the importance of family in society. The reach of this Collection spans the globe, helping families on every continent, with an array of ethnicities and backgrounds, addressing a myriad of needs. The Collection supports six Catholic agencies that prioritize the family and protect the life and dignity of each person.
Thank you for your support of Jesus in disguise. How will you help?
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Most Rev. Kevin J. Farrell
Chairman, USCCB Committee on National Collections

The Ice™ line includes balls with both polyester and urethane coverstocks in a variety of styles that range from the unique Brain Storm™ to the Polar Ice™ and Ice Storm™. As the Ice name implies, these balls are designed primarily to help you 'ice' your spares on every attempt.
The new Mix balls, available in two different colors, expand the Ice line with a new look and feel. The Mix, like the Polar Ice, features a durable U1S™ first generation urethane coverstock which is more controllable than U2S™ which powers the popular Natural™ series.
The Mix's traditional 3-piece core enhances predictability while the urethane coverstock ensures durability that other materials just can't offer. And they are available in lighter weights! In addition to the standard 10-16 pound options, Storm is pleased to offer both 6 and 8 pound options as well.

Hello, Dear Readers!
I'm back from my sojourn, and what a trip it was!
But that's for later - I still have to write it.
For now, I have a press release from my good friend, Gwyneth Pearce of the Toronto Branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society, about an upcoming workshop on Scottish family history in June next year.
One thing to note is that Scottish genealogy expert, Dr. Chris Paton, will be coming to speak. The organizers are also looking for other presenters, so if Scotland is an area of interest of yours, you may wish to answer their call.
On a personal note, it's good to be back. I look forward to bringing you more news from the Canadian genealogy front.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Saturday, 6 November 2010
The Toronto Branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society and the Canadiana Department of the North York Central Library have joined together to sponsor "The Women in our Past: Strategies and Resources for Researching Female Ancestors", an all-day workshop to explore new and varied approaches to researching those often elusive women in our families. With expert speakers from across Ontario, this event will offer participants a deeper understanding of the circumstances that governed and shaped the lives of our female ancestors – from family relationships, domestic service and the justice system to the fur trade, migration and world war. Find out how and where to search for relevant records and learn about the latest developments in maternal-line DNA analysis. The workshop will be held in the Auditorium of the North York Central Library, 5120 Yonge Street, at the North York Centre subway station. Early registration rates are available until 30 September 2010. For program and registration details, visit www.torontofamilyhistory.org/women.html. To check availability, call 416-733-2608 (voice mail) or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
Saturday, 18 June 2011

The Misconception: When your beliefs are challenged with facts, you alter your opinions and incorporate the new information into your thinking.If you have ever been in a three hour discussions over several beers, you'll know what I mean. By the end of the night, both of you are more ensconced in your personal beliefs. I use to enter into these discussions figuring that I could change the way people think, and by the end of the night, nothing had changed, but I hadn't realized that. I'd figured that I had moved them somewhat. Now I know different. Don't think for one minute that any argument you have, will ever change another person's opinions, it will only push them to reaffirm and embrace their deep down beliefs.
The Truth: When your deepest convictions are challenged by contradictory evidence, your beliefs get stronger.
My grandfather told me way back that discussions around politics and religion were a waste of time, you weren't going to change anyone's mind and I tend to agree with him now.
For politics, Congress comes to mind. There is no common ground anymore. Discussions seem to be rally around the flag parties. No mater whose talking, there is a flag behind them. Kind of reminds you of the Nazi party, with flags everywhere. Of course their mission statement was "Let's get patriotic and kill someone." It worked great, the three beer arguments just disappeared. If you weren't paying attention you ended up on a cremation list for the following week.
With religion, the idea that a religious body can preach death and destruction to infidels runs against the grain of decency of everyone in the United States. Of course Allah's 60 virgins as a reward, is worth it if you buy the whole package. It just goes to show that you can pimp virgins in the afterlife and have takers grabbing a number and dying to wait in line—maybe dying after a wait in line.
What we are looking at, is a world ready for war. Arguing isn't going to cut it; people are willing to die to convey their beliefs on the assumption that the other party isn't that gung-ho. The Funny thing is, both sides have no concept of how it will end.
What we need to examine, is the fact that just about everyone up to now, has been getting what they want out of life without compromising their beliefs. That is beginning to change. The economy has been thrown into a dumpster. And if you think about it, people with money can afford to have morals and scruples; lose your wealth and you'll find how unaffordable principles and ideals are. Political beliefs and moral concepts do not feed a family. We can see the effects of that in the Middle East right now.

Key success factors for Danish machinery businesses remains their ability to streamline costs and investment in product development/new technology.
- The export-oriented Danish machines/engineering sector has performed well over the past 2-3 years. Profit margins have increased for about 60% of businesses over the last 12 months, and are expected to rise further in 2017 and 2018, as valued added sector growth is expected to continue rising by about 1%-2% annually. Growth is driven by exporters of energy optimisation products used in areas such as heating, cooling, and water treatment. The same accounts for suppliers to the globally growing wind turbine sector and for producers of machines for automatisation in the manufacturing process.
- That said, some machinery segments are still struggling, such as businesses dependent on the offshore oil and gas industry, which performed weakly in 2016. However, there are signs of a rebound due to a stabilisation of oil and gas prices, which could help to improve machinery demand again.
- The outlook for producers of agricultural machines remains subdued due to low investments made in the European farming sector. That said, recent improvements in milk/crop/meat prices give room for some optimism, while financing conditions for Danish farmers are improving.
- Payments in the Danish machinery sector take 90 days on average. Payment experience has been good over the past two years, and the number of payment delays, defaults and insolvencies is expected to remain stable in 2017 and 2018. However, a modest increase in defaults cannot be ruled out, as a new EU legislation allows the faster restructuring of troubled entities. Insolvencies in the machinery sector mainly affect smaller players who are overly dependent on a few, large customers, coupled with high production costs, and where restrictive access to bank financing has put pressure on liquidity. Therefore, we monitor smaller players more closely, while our general underwriting stance on the sector remains generally open to neutral.

This is such a simple recipe yet the results are amazing. I know some people think shortbread can only be called shortbread if it contains rice flour or similar to "rough" the texture up, but I think this recipe produces a wonderful, buttery, crisp yet crumbly biccie. And surely that's what we all want?
It was a first outing for my Wilton biscuit cutter and stamp. The 'happy birthday' message just about survived baking! I think it would work better on a less buttery biscuit that would hold its definition more on baking – I did try chilling the biscuits before baking to hold the shape more, but it made no difference at all.
This is the type of recipe that works as a standalone biscuit to enjoy with a cup of tea, but would also be a fab accompaniment to a mousse or pannacotta for dessert. You could flavour the biscuit with any extract or alcohol and you could also add dried fruit or chocolate chips. Just think how yummy it would be with dried cranberries for Christmas. It only takes a few minutes to make the dough so is a good recipe to have in your armoury!
125g unsalted butter, at room temperature
55g caster sugar, plus extra for sprinking
180g plain flour
Preheat oven to 190°C/fan oven 170°C/375°F/gas mark5
Line two baking sheets with greaseproof paper.
Beat together the butter and sugar until you have a smooth paste.
Stir in the flour and bring together to a dough.
Roll out the dough between two sheets of clingfilm. You're aiming for a thickness of approximately 1cm.
Cut into rounds and place on the baking tray; allow a little room for expansion but no need to leave more than about 1cm. NB. The dough re-rolls easily so don't waste any of it!
Sprinkle with additional caster sugar.
Bake for approximately 15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown. Mine took nearer 18 minutes.
Leave to cool on a wire rack.
Store in an airtight container – they will keep for days and days!
Bask in the glory of the wonderful thing you have created.

- "Miguel seems to think I'm mistreating him. Still, he's revealed the extent to which Catalina fears your quest for revenge. She has three death squads dotted around Liberty, whose sole job is to hunt you down. Act as the bait, and get the death squads to follow you to Pike Creek where some of my men will be waiting for them."
- ―Asuka Kasen
Bait is a mission in Grand Theft Auto III given to protagonist Claude by Asuka Kasen from the Panlantic Construction Company construction site in Fort Staunton, Staunton Island, Liberty City.
Asuka, after having caught Miguel, at the construction site, is torturing him in order to get more information about Catalina's plans against Claude. She informs him of Catalina planting three death squads around Liberty City to kill Claude. He's forced to search Shoreside Vale for each of the death squads and lead them to a trap set by Asuka; a waiting group of well-armed Yakuza members. Each gang consists of four Colombian Cartel gang members driving in Sentinel's and they can be found at Pike Creek and Cedar Grove. Once all of them are killed, the mission is complete.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Locate the death squads and lead them into Asuka's trap.
- If any of the Colombians exit the car outside of the trap area, then the mission will fail.
The reward for completing this mission is $35,000. The mission Espresso-2-Go! is also unlocked after completing this mission.
- The Sentinels driven by the Cartel squads are dent proof, so they will take no damage from ramming and will not catch fire if flipped over. However, this special property cannot be saved in the player's garage. The Sentinels are otherwise vulnerable to bullets, flames and explosions.
- Using "Destroy all cars" Cheat will fail this mission, telling that the player failed to lead the death squads to the ambush.

2008/12/05 Victoria, BC
From NinWiki
Nine Inch Nails played at the Save On Foods Memorial Centre in Victoria, British Columbia, on December 5, 2008 as part of the Lights In The Sky Tour. The Bug was the opening act.
Rob Sheridan and friends filmed the show. "Relaxed camera / camcorder policy" for fans. The raw footage from the NIN camp was then made available to fans for download to create their own edits. This footage (along with footage from the 2008/12/07 Portland, OR and 2008/12/12 Sacramento, CA shows) was also edited together by a fan collective known as This One Is On Us and released as Another Version Of The Truth: The Gift.
Raw High Definition footage of this concert was posted by Trent Reznor on the 7th January 2009, on nin.com. A user from thepiratebay ripped the audio off Trent Reznor's HD-footage and uploaded it there under the name "Lights Over Victoria". This torrent contains two versions of the show, both in .flac-format; one of these versions can be burnt on two CDs.

Is there officially supposed to be another wave of Simpsons blind figures?
I hope so. I want Selma and Patty, Comic Book Guy, Moe, Barney, Carl, Duff Man, Smithers, Otto, Edna, Groundskeeper Willy, Principal Skinner, Hans Moleman, Sideshow Bob, Bumblebee Man and Kent Brockman,
I saw these at Target on Tuesday, and grabbed a handful of bags as well (Bart, Lisa, Mr. Burns, Chief Wiggum). Really nicely done I thought, although now I sort of want to try and get them all .
I see the price on the Simpsons House has come down a bit on Amazon, pretty sure that will be my next big purchase.

Team USA Wins Gold in France
We left US on Sunday, May 24th arriving the next day in Metz. A light practice session took place in the afternoon of our arrival and two full sessions on May 26th.
The tournament started on May 27th with the junior singles events. Ariel and Lily were seeded in the main draw (4th and 6th seeds) while Erica and Prachi played in the first stage, groups of 3 or 4. The top two from each group will advance to the main draw and Erica finished first in her group. Due to her low world ranking Prachi was seeded 3 in her group and lost all of her matches. In the main draw Erica won her first match 4-2 against De La Vega (ESP). In the round of 32 Lily won 4-0 against Lam Yee Lok (HKG), Ariel won 4-1 against Perrin (FRA), and Erica lost 4-0 against Doo Hoi Kem (HKG). Lily won 4-1 against Behro (FRA) before losing in QF against Szocz (ROM). Ariel won 4-1 against Li Ching Wan (HKG) before losing4-1 in the QF against Gasnier (FRA).
Seeded 2 in doubles event, Ariel and Lily won against Lam/Wong (HKG) 3-1, Melinkova/Preidziute (LTU) 3-0, Imamura/Schuh (GER) 3-0, Gasnier/Leveque (FRA) 3-2 (down 2-0, 10-5 in the third, Ariel and Lily fought back to win the match) before losing 3-1 in the final against Szocz/Dragnea (ROM). Erica/Prachi lost 3-0 in the round of 32 against Behro/Perrin (FRA).
With the junior singles events finished, on May 29th the team events started. Ariel, Lily and Erica played in the junior event and Prachi teaming with Michelle Liaw (CAN) in the cadet event. Although seeded 4th in their group, Prachi and Michelle finished first in their group with wins over Czech Republic 3-1, France C 3-2, and India 3-1. In the main draw they won 3-1 against a mixed team of IND/HKG to make it to the semifinals where they lost 3-0 against a much powerful HKG team who went on to win the tournament easily.
In the junior girl's team, we were # 2 seed and won the group matches against Canada and France B 3-0. After a bye in the first round of the main draw we met and won 3-1 against Spain, a match that started at 10 pm and ended a little before midnight. The cadet singles and doubles events started on April 30th with the semis and final of the junior team event played at 1:30 pm and in the evening at 7:10 pm. A quite busy day for our cadet girls but they came out of groups and Erica reached top 16 before losing to the #1 seed Doo Hoi Kem (HKG), Prachi lost in QF a very close match against Zarif (FRA), and Lily making it to the final against Doo (HKG) before winning a close match (3-2) against Lam (HKG), but easily winning 3-0 against Guseva (RUS). In the final against Doo, Lily played quite well. Unfortunately she lost 3-1. In cadet doubles Lily paired with Claire (WAL) and they won the bronze medal.
Back to the semifinal match in the junior team event; we played the Hong Kong team that lost unexpectedly in the group stage against India 3-2. Ariel started the match winning 3-1 against Li Ching Wan, Lily continued with a 3-0 win over Ng Ka Yee before Erica lost 3-2 against Lam Yee Lok. However Ariel was ready to take on Ng and won a hard fought match to bring the team to the final stage, the final against India. They were seeded 6th in the team event, and won against HKG in the group stage, ROM in QF after trailing 2-0, and GER in the semis, so we knew that we had a tough match ahead of us.
The girls were ready and shortly we were up 2-0 after Ariel won 3-1 against Batra, and Lily easily won 3-0 against their best player Bhandarkar. Erica started well her match but Das played better and won 3-1. Ariel brought the final point for the team winning 3-2 against Bhnadarkar and the girls won the gold in the team event.
Overall this was an excellent tournament for our girls and good preparation for the upcoming World Championships. After the tournament, the girls went to Luxembourg for a five day training camp before heading to Rotterdam for the World Championships.

Bradi Anderson (21 and a art instructor) and Jed Cress (22 and an electrical lineman apprentice) met through mutual friends. Just a month after they started officially dating, Jed got a job offer to work for Samaritan's Purse as a carpenter in Port Alsworth. However, there are no roads connecting Port Alsworth to the rest of Alaska, no cellphone service and no promise of internet. After being there a year, he came home and proposed on the beach in Nikiski, Alaska. "It was late, stars were out and the moon was red," Bradi remembers. "It was incredibly windy that night, so we were wrapped up close in a blanket, talking and then he proposed. It was so dark that I couldn't see the ring, so I totally thought he was joking around the first time. He had to repeat himself, poor guy." Bradi and Jed wanted their wedding to focus on their relationships with the people around them. Loving the cozy, intimate feel of a coffee shop, the couple used it as their inspiration. They kept their wedding affordable by foregoing dinner and instead serving Seattle Mountain Coffee and DIY desserts—cinnamon rolls, muffins, cookies, cakes—made by their friends and family. All of the furniture, decor and dinnerware were borrowed from family and friends, and the extra big tables and chairs were provided by the Nikiski Community Recreation Center. They draped Christmas lights from the ceiling to make the space feel smaller. "It made our reception feel homey and lived in," Bradi says. They completed the night with open mic entertainment where family and friends shared their talents on stage. "We wanted to extend our love and appreciation to all of our guests by creating a night that they would remember, not because of the fancy cakes, top notch band or catered dinner, but because of the connections they made with the people surrounding them."

VeMoFo#29: Picking Pecks of Pink Papples
There's a texture and a difference to an apple who's home you've seen. Who's home you've even twisted it off from, that is to say - an apple plucked and fallen into your own basket! I worked at an orchard out in Ormstown (about an hour out of montreal) at the end of August this summer, just for a few days, but enough time to sufficiently drink in enough of the heavy silence and dusky richness in the air, completely devoid of cell phone crackle, car exhaust, cable hum and well... the city in general.
double stem
I took a certain liking to these pink ones especially. They're not even eating apples, normally, but used for wine, and they grew all clustered like burnished billiard balls exactly even in size and ridiculously easy to pick, plus fuschia seeds. The other main kinds we picked were Jersey Macintosh and Jona Golds (crisp as ice!!)
I only just ate the last of these a few days ago... yay for hardy fruit
We also stayed in a trailer!! So exciting, I love small spaces, and living as MacGuyver-y as possible. We rotated every precious dish, washed with a teensy cloth (no soap or running water), ate out of tahini jars, and everything was sumptuous to eat because A: we were exhausted, B: communal food obviously tastes best, C: half of it came wild from the land!
Dinner on our last night was a chickpea & wakame & brown rice pilaf, curried coconut vegetable stew, green beans & wild dandelion greens picked just outside, and a stovetop apple pie made with our own apples, on a strawberry granola crust! Oh, and topped with wild blackberries, and sweetened with dates luckily left over from snacking, of course.
Can I even tell you how overjoyed I was to "bake" in the wilderness?
Zoop's Zon!
I also saw the most amazing tree, curled in and over itself like a snake or a spirit! I have 4 or 5 pictures of this creature, and in each one it looks entirely different, and exquisite.
It was in a very long and flat expanse of shale (weak sedimentary river rock) that ran with a shallow crystal brook for kilometres and kilometres up, full of tiny fishes, some fossils, seaweed that looked like mermaid hair, and when you jumped up and down on certain parts of the rock it kind of shattered just a little bit, like jumping on ice in November. And everything was copper-coloured.
yeah, you can pay me to do this...

Thanks for a great blog!
I *love* the look of those pink apples. I am a keen backyard fruit grower (cuts down food miles) - any chance of requesting some seeds of those apples next time you have them? I've never seen them where I live.
More than happy to pay postage etc!

It's been a good long while since I've posted here at The Heartland, although I tuned in to many games (except for September) and was glued to the TV throughout the playoffs. My apologies for not opening up the Digital Living Room but, after we moved, our new Internet was less than the advertised high-speed, and certainly considerably slower than our previous, actual high-speed Internet. This meant occasional interruptions to radio broadcasts that became more frequent when I opened additional tabs–which I would have had to do for the HDLR. Hence, no HDLR.
I do, however, miss you readers who would come by, chinwag about the Yankees, baseball, and life in general. I also have at times missed blogging, at least have had the pangs to throw up posts here and there about what transpired. With the unfortunate but, as the ALCS unfolded, relatively unsurprising end of the 2010 season now upon us, this seems as good a time as any to share a few thoughts on the Yankees' lamentable ALCS performance, ascribing some blame on and aside from Girardi, and lay out a few issues facing the Yanks this off-season. In sum, I might be back scribbling online for the next while.
First and foremost, hats off to the Texas Rangers for making it to the World Series for the first time in the franchise's history. It was unquestionably well earned, for they showed they were the best team in the AL playoffs both in the ALDS and the Championship Series. After beating the Rays, in which no home team won a game (reminding me of the opening round of the '84 NBA playoffs, when the Nets upset the defending champion 76ers in five games with no home team winning), the Rangers were one devastating eighth-inning comeback in Game One away from sweeping the defending champion Yanks. Josh Hamilton (.350, 4 HR, 7 RBI) was a beast whom the Yanks avoided like the plague in Game 6 with intentional walks. Elvis Andrus was easily the better shortstop, batting .333 and making terrific plays look routine. Nelson Cruz (.350, 2 HR, 5 RBI) continued to plague the Yanks as he did during the regular season. Bengie Molina again proved a nemesis to the Yanks in the post-season with his Game 4 HR off AJ Burnett (off a first-pitch fastball that missed Cervelli's outside spot by two feet). Michael Young (.333) was typically tough and, unlike most Yanks, regularly hit the other way. Even Mitch Moreland (.389) was excellent.
Texas pitchers easily out-pitched their pinstriped counterparts, with Colby Lewis winning twice, Cliff Lee making Yankees fans simultaneously salivate and suffer with his 2-hit, 13-K performance in Game 3, and Derek Holland leaving the Yanks flabbergasted with his Game 4 gem of a relief performance. They soundly beat the Yanks despite using Lee for just one start, which I did not think would happen.
Conversely, the Yanks could scarcely have been much worse. Only Cano (.348, 4 HR, 5 RBI) hit above .300, while Berkman (.250), Jeter (.231), Posada (.263) and Grandy (.294) were the only others above .200. The team hit a woeful .201 in the ALCS, with A-Rod (.190 in 21 at-bats), Swish (.091 in 22 at-bats), Gardner (.176 in 17 at-bats, looking all the more feeble as the series progressed), Teixeira (hitless in 14 at-bats and looking helpless against most breaking balls), and Thames (.125, 2/16) dragging down the Yanks in most games.Compounding matters was the Yanks' inability to hit with RISP, going 8-53 (.151) to seal their fate.
The pitching, especially most starters, fared no better. Pettite was excellent in a losing cause in Game 3. But Hughes struggled in both starts. C.C. had one poor start (Game One) and one pretty good one (Game 5), while A.J. the prodigal pitcher threw a decent start in Game 4 until serving up the game-winning HR to Molina. Robertson (8 hits and 6 ER in 2 2/3) and Mitre (3 hits, 3 runs, and 3 walks in 2 2/3) dragged down an otherwise good bullpen with devastatingly bad work. Even Joba, who appears to have offed the Girardi family pet again, was fairly good (2.70 ERA in 3 1/3 IP).
Simply put, the Yanks got shut down, and too often got walloped by a confident, diverse Texas offense. The Rangers were better, period.
Joe Girardi has come under some scrutiny if not fire for a few decisions before and during the ALCS. Before the playoffs, many including myself questions his willingness to rest some starters down the stretch, worsening a downward trend in which the Yanks lost 17 of their last 26 and, as a result, failing to win the division and home field. However, had they won the East, they would have started against–the Rangers. It is impossible to say how they would have fared against Texas in a five-game series but, considering how well Texas played, home-field advantage appears to have mattered little against Texas, who played extremely well wherever they went. While C.C. was tough at home and Pettite could possibly have started games 2 and 5 on short rest (although that would have pushed matters), had they faced Texas instead of Minnesota, the Yanks might not have made it out of the first round anyway.
Within the ALCS games, Girardi's decision to start Hughes for Game 2, and subsequently 6, in Texas backfired. Yet while I speculated beforehand that they might go with C.C. in Games 4 and 7 on short rest, this would have asked a lot of the Big Guy, who threw 237 2/3 during the regular season and another 6 against the Twins in the ALDS. Plus, Hughes pitched well during the year as well as historically in Texas, and Girardi and the Yanks understandably wanted Pettite, the career leader in post-season victories, to face Lee in Game 3. The latter half of the Hughes-Pettite decision was especially a good call, for while Pettite lost he pitched 7 excellent innings, surrendering just two runs on a pitch up to Hamilton deposited in right for a two-run homer in the first. Otherwise, he was terrific.
Girardi may deserve some blame for two decisions in Game 4. The first was after Teixeira's hamstring injury, when Girardi moved Swish to first and replaced him with Thames instead of a better fielder such as Greg Golson or even Austin Kearns. Sure enough, Vlad's single to right found Thames, who got a late, slow break on the ball that Golson or Kearns may have caught. Meanwhile Thames, characteristically hesitant, looked like the seldom-used outfielder that he was. At least as problematic was leaving A.J. in to walk David Murphy, then face Molina to whom he surrendered the fateful homer that made the game 5-3. Girardi understandably wanted to save the sole Yankee lefty reliever, Boone Logan, for Josh Hamilton but, by this point, A.J. was showing signs of faltering after pitching pretty well for 5 2/3. Molina's blast to left sealed the Yankees' fate for Game 4 and put them in a 3-1 hole. Joba was warmed up but avoided, and could have used his repertoire to bait the free-swinging Molina. In part, this was Joba's own fault for he was unreliable for much of 2010, resulting in Kerry Wood's displacing him for good from meaningful set-up work. Yet Girardi at times lacks the feel for momentum changes during the game, and A.J. was teetering in the sixth inning of Game 4. Molina sent him, and the Yanks, over the edge.
Girardi's refusal to use a rested Mariano in Game 3 to keep the game within bloop-and-blast territory also hurt, for Robertson let the game get far out of hand. That C.C. didn't pitch yesterday in relief, instead of the aforementioned Robertson who got touched up again, was another puzzling decision. Yet at the end of the day, the team simply couldn't hit and hit when it counted most with RISP, and Hughes and other starters faltered, including C.C. in Game One, rusty after a long layoff between series. Only Pettite was really good, and even that was in a losing effort. That doesn't come within a country mile of cutting it. Girardi may deserve criticism for some decisions, but he neither pitches nor hits. As it turned out, neither did some key Yankees.
Hughes sincerely needs to hone his secondary pitches, especially his change-up which, to the best of my knowledge, he only threw twice yesterday (both to Hamilton, and consecutively, although admittedly I had to listen to an inning in the car while running an errand). He does well with his fastball and curve much of the time to get ahead of batters but, without other reliable pitches, like in 2008 lacks the ability to put batters away, to get hitters off his fastball. Nor did Hughes use his cutter much last night, a shame for the same reasons. But in all honesty, Hughes is still developing, at 24 had a terrific year (18-8, 4.19 ERA, 146 K in 176 1/3 IP, 1.248 WHIP, all-star team), started the season as the team's number five starter and did not make the top three Yankee starters simply of his own accord. Had Burnett (10-15, 5.26 ERA, 1.511 WHIP, league-leading 19 HBP, 7.0 K/9, his lowest since 2001) been anywhere near the pitcher he was last season (13-9, 4.04 ERA, 8.5 K/9), Hughes would have likely been the number four Yankee starter, faced considerably less pressure in the playoffs, and had less expected of him and his good but still-developing pitch repertoire. Burnett's failures this season foisted more responsibility and greater expectations upon Hughes by the end of 2010 than any of us would have expected, or had a right to ask, at the beginning of the season.
Getting Burnett back into a good groove has to be one of the top priorities for returning Yankees, for the team is highly unlikely to trade him if they need to eat any part of his five-year, $82.5 million contract, of which three years remain. Too often, he loses focus and control, and his release point wavers as if affected by a stiff breeze. His regression this year was startling and, ultimately, destructive for the rotation and the team's playoff fortunes. This will be a big task for Dave Eiland, and after this year, I am wary of how this will pan out.
Also, and I worried about this in conversations with various friends, the Yankees' RISP problems did not simply emerge in the ALCS. RISP and pitching; pitching and RISP, I often said. The team managed to lead the league in runs scored with 859 and OBP at .350, while ranking in the middle of the pack in RISP hitting at .258, 7th in the AL, and RISP/2 outs at .241, also 7th. Getting runners aboard wasn't the Yanks' problem all year; scoring them was, and surfaced in a disastrous way against Texas. I also think there was too much swinging for the fences, both this year and versus the Rangers, exemplified by the utter inability or refusal of batters to go with pitches and steer them the other way. This is something at which the departed Matsui and JD excelled, in addition to their clutch play, and the Yanks failed to replace that aspect of those former Yankees in 2010.
Clearly, the Yankees will be major players in the free-agent market, with Cliff Lee and Carl Crawford looming as major prizes who would fill clear needs. I like Gardner and think that, in some ways, he has emerged as a useful weapon (.277/.383, 47/56 SB). When on base, he is a true threat whom the older Yankees truly need. At the same time–and I am willing to grant Gardner a little slack because he had a sore wrist down the stretch that may have affected him–Gardner's plate approach is at times awful, and the Yanks ought to consider replacing him in left. The biggest concern to me is the double-edged sword of Gardner's patience. On the one hand, he had 75 hits with two strikes (swinging at 0-2, 1-2, 2-2, or 3-2 counts), which is good and shows much patience. Yet unsurprisingly, Gardner was a far worse batter on 0-2 (.255) and 1-2 (.179) counts, and batted .231 after reaching 0-2 and .202 after 1-2. So often down the stretch and in the playoffs, Gardner fell behind 0-2 and 1-2, often without even swinging the bat, resulting in many easy outs. I don't know if he's guessing wrong or judging the strike zone with too fine an eye, but he needs to stop watching eminently hittable pitches, especially fastballs, early in the count.
Teixeira is a gem at first and, while batting a career-low .256 in '10, still cranked 33 homers, drove in 108, and drew 93 walks for a .365 OBP after a woeful start in which he hit .136 in April, and only stayed above the Mendoza line by May 14. He is too good for that, and had some bad luck to start the year. But he is at times too prone to breaking balls, and has become far too much a pull hitter, making him all the more susceptible to the shift as a lefty. While some adjustments in his stance helped him, such as opening his stance and facing the pitching more squarely to enhance his vision, this also compounded his propensity to pull by keeping his stance open, thus reducing his plate coverage and keeping his weight on the inside part of the plate. He's a tremendous player, one of my very favorite Yankees and one of the three best defensive first basemen I've ever seen. However, there are a few aspects of his plate approach I'd like to see improved.
The Yankees would be very well served if they can find a way to bring back Kerry Wood, whose poise and performance (2-0, 0.69 ERA, 31 K/26 IP, 1.231 WHIP–primarily from 18 walks more than the mere 14 hits allowed) were sorely needed. He might want to move on to close elsewhere, but the Yanks should make signing Wood (turning 34 next June) a priority, especially given the arm problems of Marte, the bad back of Aceves, the inconsistency of Joba, and other uncertainties.
Soon, I will discuss the contract situations the Yankees face, especially those of Jeter, Mariano, and Pettite, as well as some arbitration issues. It is good to be back blogging; for how long, I don't know. But getting a few things off my chest was essential and, hopefully, not too onerous to read.
