How do you create and post your own templates? --4n7i-h4xx0r 01:47, 9 July 2007 (UTC)4n7i-h4xx0r
- Firstly, make sure that you really need a template; there are very few good uses for templates. If you want to make up a fancy template but you're only going to use it on one page, it's better to just edit the page directly. If you have something that you want to put on a whole set of pages and you're certain that it's going to actually be funny and not stupid, then a template is what you want. If you really want a template then create a page at Template:NameOfYourTemplate, which includes all of your template's code Then, on the pages you want to include the template on, put {{NameOfYourTemplate}} where you would like the template included. --Sir gwax (talk) http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/uncyclopedia/images/thumb/b/b0/Sucrose_b.gif/30px-Sucrose_b.gif 12:53, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
I'm starting to get it. But there is a lot of code involved. I'll try experimenting with some templates using something like Notepad, then placing test ones on my profile. It'll be some time before I get the hang of it. Thanks anyway! 4n7i-h4xx0r 22:53, 9 July 2007 (UTC)4n7i-h4xx0r
Here's a test one I made:
|Reading this crap has overheated the planet's core.
You have 3 seconds to live.
It sucks, so don't rub it in. I just basically took a code off another template and added a new image and text. Like i said, I'll get the hang of it. 4n7i-h4xx0r 23:17, 9 July 2007 (UTC)4n7i-h4xx0r
- That's pretty much what everyone else does until they get the hang of it. If you want a free place to play around, you can make things in your userspace (a la User:4n7i-h4xx0r/Something ) without worrying about annoying anyone or getting things deleted. You can even include things as templates from your userspace (a la {{User:4n7i-h4xx0r/Something}} ). --Sir gwax (talk) http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/uncyclopedia/images/thumb/b/b0/Sucrose_b.gif/30px-Sucrose_b.gif 12:30, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
Also, I'm trying to place an animated image on this site, one that I made, but how do I do that? It's a .gif file, I know that, but it always opens with Photo Editor. Which program do I need, or what steps do I need to take? The animation is done, but I just need to figure out how to actually post a working animation. 4n7i-h4xx0r 00:39, 11 July 2007 (UTC)4n7i-h4xx0r
Actually, never mind on that last one. It took me a while, but here it is. It's short and simple. 4n7i-h4xx0r 05:11, 11 July 2007 (UTC)4n7i-h4xx0r

Zana Dark was banned???
Hi your most Adminibleness. I noticed that you banned Zana Dark. That's a bit harsh! Not cos of me I hope! What did she/he do "Being a dick" seams a bit general!!!

- No, it is not because of you. Check ban patrol and her block log for the case against her. It's a one week ban, which is enough time to consider things but not too much to be mean. She needs to learn that editing other people's personal correspondences and vandalizing user pages is not acceptable. --Sir gwax (talk) http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/uncyclopedia/images/thumb/b/b0/Sucrose_b.gif/30px-Sucrose_b.gif
- Oh, ok... Although im new, I was able to see what was going on with the reverts on my talk page, and was not bothered by it at all (was quite funny actually)... I guess there is some kinda "contest" or somthing to see who can 'addopt' the most n00bs and I think she was actually right in that I spoke to her first rather than the other dude, but i'm sure u know what your doing.

- Whatever the context, claiming someone else's comments as her own is not acceptable, even if it is a form introduction. She should have left another comment underneath saying something else. Also, from a practical standpoint, the principle of helping new users is good but the principle of claiming ownership over new users is bad; we're about community, not warring factions. --Sir gwax (talk) http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/uncyclopedia/images/thumb/b/b0/Sucrose_b.gif/30px-Sucrose_b.gif 22:19, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
- Think I understand what your saying, I was just wanting to make sure that non got the idea that it was a problem, if ya look at Zanas talk page where I left the "Okay you can stop that" comment someone did take it more seriously than I intended (and I think she did too)... But hea, this is all getting a bit serious, so i'm of to sell some cookies to my wildebeest... Thanks for getting involved.

Malcolm Hardee
Re: 21:28, 11 November 2007 Gwax (Talk | contribs) huffed "Malcolm Hardee" (1.3 Uncyclopedia is not Wikipedia)
Well, as the facts in the piece were fake, but written as if true, I rather thought the entry was nothing like Wikipedia but - having said that - I suppose that would indeed make the fake entry pure Wikipedia.... --—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 220.127.116.11 (talk • contribs)
- Ah, I compared your article to the wikipedia article and at first glance noticed no difference (a bad sign). On further, later inspection, I notice that you have copied the wikipedia article and replaced words with different words in an attempt to make an inaccurate version of the wikipedia article (generally frowned upon). Since these appear to be your only edits, I'm going to assume that you haven't been around here long and thought this would be a good place to poke fun at this Malcolm Hardee person, which it is. However, we strive (although often are less successful than we would like) to achieve a certain level of originality and quality, both of which were absent from your Malcolm Hardee article. Let me suggest that you look around our site for a while first, read some articles, see if you can make them better and once you have the hang of our style, then consider writing your own articles. I highly recommend reading our Beginner's Guide especially the On Good Writing section. It might also be a good idea to register an account and separate yourself from all the other random IP addresses, it will make other users more friendly. --Sir gwax (talk) http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/uncyclopedia/images/thumb/b/b0/Sucrose_b.gif/30px-Sucrose_b.gif 22:10, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
A comment on the n00b process by n00by boy
Having been unable to get the wieilderbeist to part with any of his hard earned cash I though that I might make a comment on the n00b introduction article. I was hoping there would be something there about managing your own userspace, and setting up user sandboxes, but was unable to find anything in the help about it, the link to the Uncyclopedia:Sandbox page on the help page did not help too much either! As I guess it's a rather important think to stop the likes of us n00bs from messing with the main namespace (like I did by mistake making "MrN9000/sandbox") might I suggest that something about this process be added to the guide? MrN http://images.wikia.com/uncyclopedia/images/4/4e/HalIcon.png http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/uncyclopedia/images/e/e1/Goldboobs_Improved.jpg 23:06, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
- I'm glad to hear that your intentions are in the right place; that's really the most important part. That said, I'm already more than well aware of how poor the introductory pages are and I'm hoping that we can do something about that someday. For right now, the best way to find out how to do something is to find a friendly someone that knows and just ask. --Sir gwax (talk) http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/uncyclopedia/images/thumb/b/b0/Sucrose_b.gif/30px-Sucrose_b.gif 23:29, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
about vandalism reporting
i've reported two stupid ip vandalising Bat Fuck Insane, and you said, that you can't see the difference, but if you check this, you can see that one was doubled the page and in this, that the other inserted random bullshit. Well I think its vandalism. --Drhlajos 21:18, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, I guess that I could have been a bit more explicit about what I meant. My figuring was that Bat Fuck Insane is of such a nature that determining whether those were vandalism or not is incredibly difficult and subjective. If you think that it's vandalism, the correct response is to rollback the changes and then, if there is repeat vandalism, go to ban patrol. Even the article doubling isn't without precedent (Redundancy). I'm sorry not to have been more explicit but ban patrol really should not be the first approach to something like that. --Sir gwax (talk) http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/uncyclopedia/images/thumb/b/b0/Sucrose_b.gif/30px-Sucrose_b.gif 23:26, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
A beest in the Dark?
Ok, my (conscience ridden) pet wildebeest did not allow me to get a wink of sleep last night due to him constantly poking and prodding me in the ribs until I promised that I would "speak up" again regarding the banning of "Zana Dark". Both myself and the fore mentioned grassland mammal agree that I will almost certainly be talking out of turn so please forgive me, I'm very new here and have no idea what's considered acceptable behavior and what's not. I am however most certainly not new to the Internet, the concepts chat rooms and also the art of "being a dick" (ask anyone who knows me well). I think I understand what you mean about "claiming someone else's comments as her own" and agree that this is wrong. From looking at Zana's past "contributions" it's also clear that her style of humur does not always match that of others (ref the gobshite of the month nomination plus various other comments). I can also see from the ban log that she has been warned in the past for her "style" of behavior, banned, un-banned and banned again on more than one occasion. Banning her for a week due to the "claiming someone else's comments as her own" issue seems reasonably fair to me but I could not help but notice that she now appears to have been given an "indefinite ban".
I have no idea what an "indefinite ban" is but I guess it means never to be allowed back under her "Zana Dark profile" (if I know the Internet and Internet users it would be surprise if she is not back in another form). Perhaps the Uncyc community considers that she had the ban coming and that's fair enough, like I said I have no idea what the norm is around here. My problem is that although you say the current ban was not due to me I can't help but think that in many ways it was...
Zana and myself had begun communicating two days before the incidents which caused the ban and she was aware that I am not new to technology. In my mind this makes me fair game for a bit of cyber bullying or n00b mocking as long as it's done in good fun (which it was). Especially as I had previously asked her to "show me your tits", and for that matter I even heard a rumor that a bureaucrat once "pretended" to be someone else, but that might be "pants"... I guess some of my comments during the incidents which got her banned may have appeared to an onlooker as a n00b in distress, and that Zana was "up to her old tricks". This attracted the (very welcome and well meaning attention) of a number of users (yourself included) who came to my aid. This process actually genuinely amazed me and I know see there is far more to this place than I initially thought...
I think I feel the need to defend Zana on this one as she was actually the first person from the Unsyc community to make me feel welcome after my arrival. When I first arrived here I created a number of (rather rubbish) articles which where quickly deleted in what for me at the time appeared to be a rather flippant manor. It looked to me like they had not even been read and no coherent explanation was given as to what was going on. Now that I know about sandboxes, the batch delete scripts which admins use (to huff my shite) and the template to identify a work in progress I understand a bit more of what's going on... My point is that Zana's actions (in this situation) in my eyes appear to me to be far less offensive than my initial "welcome" via fire. Had Zana not made the effort to contact me when she did I think I would have left uncyc thinking that it was a rather closed society not welcoming of newcomers.
Please could you re-consider the "indefinite ban" between yourself and the others involved and perhaps consider something less lengthy. Although Zana may have been heading for an indefinite ban without my involvement I would hate it if it happened due to this incident....
Ok, I'm sorry for such a long rant, but the wildebeest has been standing on my foot the whole time, and would not let me leave the keyboard until I had typed it all in. Also we both (of course) acknowledge that all of the above may be (as we Brits say) "Complete Bollocks". In which case fair enough! MrN http://images.wikia.com/uncyclopedia/images/4/4e/HalIcon.png http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/uncyclopedia/images/e/e1/Goldboobs_Improved.jpg 00:25, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
- I guarantee you that your conscience has nothing to worry about. Personally, I didn't delve deep enough to see anything that might have been considered Zana bullying you. However, yesterday, I had the pleasure of meeting Zana on IRC where she proceeded, instantly, to yell, insult and sling obscenities at me. All my attempts to discuss things in a civil fashion were ignored with more yelling, insults and obscenities. Based on her behavior towards me, I have absolutely no interest in doing anything on her behalf. As far as the indefinite ban goes, having not been around for a while, I will defer to Zombiebaron's knowledge of Zana's history in justifying his actions. Simply put, Zana broke our rules and was hugely unpleasant so now she is reaping what she sowed. --Sir gwax (talk) http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/uncyclopedia/images/thumb/b/b0/Sucrose_b.gif/30px-Sucrose_b.gif 02:48, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

My premature deletion
Gwax, please respond to this at ADDRESS REMOVED.
Just yesterday (Nov. 18 2007) I started making an article of Seth MacFarlane.
I checked to see if there already was such article, and it came up negative.
When making the article, I added the construction tag. I just threw some ideas around on the page, started to get a little bit done, but it was late so I decided to continue tomorrow and on Thanksgiving weekend.
I favorited the article, and came back to it today. It was deleted. Why was it deleted? It was one day old, under construction, and incomplete. Is there something else I need to do to prevent it from being deleted while still being written?
email me to respond, please. --Mrpastry909 15:59, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
- I will be happy to tell you why your article on Seth MacFarlane was likely deleted but allow me to make a few general points first.
- Firstly, e-mail is not the appropriate avenue for such discussions; that is what talk pages are for. Furthermore, it is generally considered poor form and a bad idea to put your e-mail address up on this site.
- Moving on to some general principles of Uncyclopedia that will make it more likely that your content will not be deleted. To start, Starnestommy has left you some very good advice on your talk page; I highly recommend following it, especially reading the Beginner's Guide and especially, especially, especially reading How to be funny and not just stupid. Additionally, it is generally recommended that new users do not write new articles until they have become acclimated to Uncyclopedia. The best way to become acclimated is to read through the best we have to offer to get a feel for what is considered good content. After that, start small; add some humor or improve the quality of an existing article. Just remember, quality not quantity.
- As a specific comment on some of your other edits, in general you should avoid adding so-called "quotes" to a page; they are very rarely funny and we have been trying to cut back on them around here. Really, everything goes back to How to be funny and not just stupid.
- Ok, now, as far as your particular article on Seth MacFarlane is concerned, I'm afraid that it's a rather perfect example of being stupid and not funny. It is not my desire to be negative but proper humor tends to derive from truth not random untruths. Other than the Family Guy reference at the beginning there was nothing in your article that made it specific to Seth MacFarlane and as such there is a lack of Seth MacFarlane humor. Take, for example, the article on Napoleon Bonaparte: Seth MacFarlane would not be funny in place of Napoleon there but Napoleon is very funny there because of all of the almost truths and jokes about truths. Your Seth MacFarlane article, however, had none of that specific humor. Ask yourself where the correct place for a 9/11 joke is; on the Seth MacFarlane page or on the 9/11 page? Just to be clear, a Seth MacFarlane joke is not funny on the 9/11 page either so there really is no place anywhere for a Seth MacFarlane 9/11 joke.
- I hope that I haven't scared you away; I don't want to be mean. That said, please do make an effort to learn our style and our ways if you would like to contribute here. --Sir gwax (talk) http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/uncyclopedia/images/thumb/b/b0/Sucrose_b.gif/30px-Sucrose_b.gif 04:18, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
Thanks again for the information Gwax, I didn't know that.
My Userpage does not work at all. Whenever I click on it it says that it doesn't exist or I should refresh the page, which does not work at all, and I want to put the adopt me thing on my userpage.
Ugh, I try to be funny but it doesn't work out all the time, and I plan on being a writer for a TV show, since I'm pretty good at that. --Mrpastry909 19:57, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
- Your userpage is just like any other page, you have to edit it for it to exist. One of the nice things about userpages is that they are yours and nobody will delete your user page for not meeting standards, making it a very good place to try things out. You can even create sub pages to try things out or prepare articles without risk of deletion (for example, User:Mrpastry909/My first article). Don't be too disheartened, especially good funny, takes time and practice. If you would like some advice or help, allow me to recommend seeking adoption/apprenticeship under a more experienced user or asking around the chat room.
- One last thing, when writing messages in forums or on talk pages, it is customary to sign the end so people know who is talking. This is done by ending with "--~~~~" minus the quotes. --Sir gwax (talk) http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/uncyclopedia/images/thumb/b/b0/Sucrose_b.gif/30px-Sucrose_b.gif 04:49, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Shall I give it a Go??
Hea Sir gwax. Hope your keeping well... From what I can tell you might be a good person to speak to about this... You might remember a while ago I was having a whinge about the "Beginners Guide" being a bit poor. I think you were well aware of the problem, and agreed that it did need some work. Well rather than wining about it any more I have decided to offer my services and make an attempt to "re-write" some parts of it a little. Hopefully some people might think that a N00b of about 20 days or so may actually be a good person to do this. There are a few key points which I think are missing, and some things I think new users need to know.
In particular the correct use of sandboxes and managing your own user space does not appear to be covered very well to me. Also I think people need to be made more aware of just how brutal the huffing process can be so that they don't get quickly put off when they first get here. In my opinion we loose quite a lot of potentially good users before they get a chance to "settle in" to the way things work around here. I have seen quite a few articles created by new users which I think have great potential, but need lots of work (which I think they intend to do). These articles are then often quickly sent to QVFD and are deleted by the time the user returns. If they do check the deletion log it often says the same message as all the other 20 articles which the admin huffed at the same time. At which point I believe a lot of people simply leave Uncyc thinking us to not be welcoming of new (stupid) users and leave. I know. I almost did. If the user knew about sandboxes and user spaces they would not have moved the article into the main space until it was a bit less likely to get huffed on site.
Obviously I would not be able to do this on the actual pages, but would take a copy of the current guide and work on it in my user space. If my modifications were considered useful then I guess someone such as yourself could modify the actual guide appropriately..
I have no idea if my offer would be a welcome one, and really have no idea who to ask. The village dump defiantly did not appear to be a good place to ask... javascript:qeSubmit(0) SubmitYou appear to be one of the more sane users around here, so I'm asking you.
(Is that more subtle?) Only joking...
Also, just for your info, the link at the bottom of Beginner's_Guide/Obvious appears to be currently invalid.
Please let me know what you think... MrN http://images.wikia.com/uncyclopedia/images/4/4e/HalIcon.png http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/uncyclopedia/images/e/e1/Goldboobs_Improved.jpg
- I think that your suggestion is a marvelous one. I've been considering doing very precisely that myself but I'm terribly poor at getting around to things. You're also quite right that being new puts you in a particularly apt position to pull this off. I am behind you 100% on this one.
- If you want to do this, here's what I recommend. In your Userspace, make up a draft new beginner's guide. Subsequently, I'll give your drafts a read through and edit. After that, we'll open things up to the other admins and users in good standing. This should give us a good replacement for the beginner's guide and we can scrap the old one.
- In your draft, try to be clear, concise and complete. Spearhead this right and I'll do everything in my power to make sure that you make Uncyclopedian of the Month. --Sir gwax (talk) http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/uncyclopedia/images/thumb/b/b0/Sucrose_b.gif/30px-Sucrose_b.gif 00:48, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

RE-your comment about QVFD
Ahh, I was under the impression that QVFD could only be used for new articles. Am I correct in saying that assuming sensible judgements (like the kinda things I mentioned) have been made regarding an "old" article then "I", as in anyone can send it to QVFD without bothering with VFD no matter how old it is??? Maybe I got the wrong idea somehow. Thanks in advance MrN http://images.wikia.com/uncyclopedia/images/4/4e/HalIcon.png http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/uncyclopedia/images/e/e1/Goldboobs_Improved.jpg 00:46, Dec 6
- Only if it's proper QVFD material, which is to say total crap. I don't necessarily speak for the other admins though, and some of them handle QVFD differently from me. Probably best to pay attention to what the other people say, especially since you're new here and new users don't get as much leeway as more experienced ones. --Sir gwax (talk) http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/uncyclopedia/images/thumb/b/b0/Sucrose_b.gif/30px-Sucrose_b.gif 06:04, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Hea, It's the one who pesters you again
I have been working on the beginners guide a little, and have a few issues to resolve but that's another story... I'm just letting you know that Cajek and myself have been making a few, well, rather a lot of changes to the Uncyclopedia:Pee Review/Guidelines. Most of the work was done in my sandbox, but it has now been posted to the actual location of the guide. I just wondered if you might be so good as to take a look over what we have done. Possibly some of it may be a little controversial, and would be very grateful if you would take a look...
If you were able to take a look at it I would be grateful.
On another note, I had a look at your 'to-do' list some interesting issues there, I'm glad someone is looking into them. The cheese issue is particularly concerning...

According to a national survey by the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO), only 35 percent of respondents said they always wear protective eyewear when performing home repairs or maintenance; even fewer do so while playing sports. As such, AAO has named April Eye Safety Month to help increase public awareness of wearing protective eyewear when participating in team sports.
According to the AAO:
- Men are more likely to sustain an eye injury than women.
- Most people believe that eye injuries are most common on the job — especially in the course of work at factories and construction sites. But, in fact, nearly half (44.7 percent) of all eye injuries occurred in the home, as reported during the fifth-annual Eye Injury Snapshot (conducted by the American Academy of Ophthalmology and the American Society of Ocular Trauma).
- More than 40 percent of eye injuries reported in the Eye Injury Snapshot were caused by projects and activities such as home repairs, yard work, cleaning and cooking. More than a third (34.2 percent) of injuries in the home occurred in living areas such as the kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, living or family room.
- More than 40 percent of eye injuries every year are related to sports or recreational activities.
- Eyes can be damaged by sun exposure, not just chemicals, dust or objects.
- Among all eye injuries reported in the Eye Injury Snapshot, more than 78 percent of people were not wearing eyewear at the time of injury. Of those reported to be wearing eyewear of some sort at the time of injury (including glasses or contact lenses), only 5.3 percent were wearing safety or sports glasses.
Studies have shown that more than 90% of eye injuries can be prevented, simply by wearing the right protective eyewear. Specific eyewear is available for just about any activity—the experts at the Emory Eye Center can recommend the appropriate eyewear for your sport and make sure you have the right fit. If you've suffered an eye injury, be sure to have an ophthalmologist examine the eye as soon as possible, even if the injury seems minor.
Protecting your eyes from injury will go a long way toward maintaining healthy vision throughout your life.

What a lovely gift. I think I'm definitely a sewer at heart but I've enjoyed experimenting with knitting and crochet recently. I find it very soothing, but the results have been fairly rubbish so far ;-)ReplyDelete

I really like your blog, it's very inspiring! For the crocheting I was going to recommend Zpagetti to you but after a quick google I found it to be Dutch. It does have an English website at www.hoooked.nl It's really easy and pretty :)ReplyDelete

Gorgeous pillow... and look... no corners! I might even give that a try myself.ReplyDelete
Thanks you guys, yeah, she always makes such great things. And thank you for the various crochet related links! I appreciate it!ReplyDelete
Jenny, you make a great point, since corners do not seem to like me.
That's really cute! When I got married my sister in law made me a giant heart kind of like that, it was really nice.ReplyDelete
So glad it makes you happy. And it was my pleasure to make, in spite of the fact that it was nearly an impossible task. My children had to ask the neighbors for food. My hands are still recovering and I'm pretty sure I now need glasses.ReplyDelete
Robyn, you don't fool me a bit. You probably whipped that out in a couple of hours. ;-) thanks again, so much! I love it!ReplyDelete

I often think I should have children so I can relegate certain chores (like dish washing and dusting) to them and save myself from those detestable tasks. Just think of all the money you can save on mani-pedis in the future. Heck, I would probably pay for a Sydney pedicure just for the cute factor.

We move on to a group of guys that were 2011-2012 draftees out of big college programs and have thus far been starting pitchers in the Phils organization. I could include Adam Morgan in the group, but there's not much to debate with him. He's a top 5 prospect easily after his incredible season and the concensus of the scouting community seems to project him as a mid-rotation starter in the relatively short term.
So who does that leave? I have 3 guys in or near my top 30: Austin Wright at 17, Kevin Brady at 24, and Hoby Milner at 32.
I guess Wright is the least surprising. He had a pretty good year after a double jump, holding down his walks and keeping his K rate fairly high. He didn't do much to hurt his stock, but he didn't shine like Morgan through the whole season. He may still wind up as a reliever if he can't get advanced guys out a second time through a lineup with a third pitch beyond his fastball and curve. AA will be a test of that, for sure.
Milner is a strange case. He was a swingman at Texas his senior year, and BA had him destined for the pen. The Phils ultimately may do the same, but they had him transition back to starting in 2012 and he excelled after he got himself stretched out. In six August starts, he raised his K rate considerably and lowered his walk rate to a similar magnitude. See below from FirstInning.com:
|Split Statistics with Lakewood in 2012
If you don't out of practive already, remember to ignore the ERA, as he clearly got some fair luck on batted balls in August. Whether he's stretching out to get innings for an eventual return to the pen, we'll likely find out in the next year or so, but with increased K numbers, good control, and what BA called good command of his curve (which they called his best pitch), and his change-up, the Phils would be doing themselves a disservice to not stick with the lefty in the rotation as long as he produces.
And so, as promised in the comments on the last one of these, I will now get really excited over Kevin Brady, (everyone go read Mitch's article from the summer if you haven't already). RHP, touches 94-95 with his fastball, throws what BA described as an inconsistent change and hard breaking ball. He's an injury flag, from the start; he was drafted in 2011 but didn't sign after a forearm strain left him out of action for a while, and in 2012 he was picked in the 10th round after a hamstring issue allowed him only 59 innings.
The thing about Brady that first caught my eye was towards the end of July when he struck out 8 men in three innings. By the end of his Williamsport season, he'd walked 5 and struck out 49 in 39IP. That kind of dominance will easily earn him a double jump, and if he's healthy, and he can reproduce in 2013 the kind of season Austin Wright produced in 2012, he'll stay on the radar as a starter in the middle of a very crowded top of the system by the end of the year.
And if he does what Adam Morgan did in 2012, we'll be seeing what kind of room there is for him in Reading's rotation come July. That seems a little crazy to me, but I sure did just write it. And I'm not taking it back. And in July, you'll all have forgotten about this, or I'll delete it in disgrace, or if it comes true, I WILL LINK TO IT IN EVERY SINGLE BOXSCORE RECAP AS A REMINDER OF MY AWESOMENESS.
Anyway, should be a fun year to watch Lehigh Valley and Reading. Add in the likes or Perci Garner, David Buchanan and Tyler Cloyd, and you likely won't go more than one game in a row without seeing a prospect or an otherwise interesting name on the hill at either place.
So, tell me what you think. First off, does anyone have another similar pitcher in the top 30, outside the clear top 10 guys like Biddle, Morgan, Pettibone, and Martin, plus 2012 HS kids? I like Vargas about on par with Brady, but they're at different points in their development for sure – anyone high enough on Manny Martinez, (a mellow buzz, from what I hear), to put him ahead of Milner? Anyone think Milner's a teeny little man who will never make it as a starter? Anyone still have Garner in their top 30?
Enjoy, and I'll be back at this next week with advanced level outfielders, then young starters, and finally low-level infielders leading into the weekend before the top 30, and as always, follow me @bxe1234 on Twitter.

I'm Leaving Electric Hybrid Cars Forever!
I bought my 2003 Honda Civic Hybrid in January 2006 with 50,000 miles on it. It is now January 2011 and I have 264,000 miles on it. I replaced my original hybrid battery pack in December 2008 at 180,000 miles with a used battery pack that already had 64,000 miles on it. The car was running fine and the battery was working good too. Granted, I only paid $625 for it and I installed it myself. I now need to replace it again even though the car runs fine and the battery still operates correctly. This is why I had to replace my battery pack in 2008 and why I have to replace it now...
I lived in AZ in 2008 and their emissions test included an OBDII scan. My engine light was on because I had codes P1600 and P1449 which indicated I needed to replace my hybrid battery pack, even though it was still working properly. Since the emissions laws of AZ didn't care that my car actually put out less emissions than other cars and they only cared about my engine light on, I replaced my hybrid battery pack. Even though the hybrid battery pack has nothing to do with what comes out of the exhaust, the state laws still required me to replace the battery pack. I now live in Texas and their laws are requiring me to do the same thing.
Since common sense has left this area of the law, I am now getting rid of my fuel efficient (I consistently get 45-55 miles per gallon) and almost zero emissions vehicle and going to buy a gas guzzler that spits out more emissions than what people would think is healthy.
I will forever refuse to own or promote owning a hybrid electric vehicle unless the laws change to actually test what comes out of my tailpipe, regardless if my hybrid electric battery needs to be replaced!

Under the control of the eastern railway
Exist thousands of slaves in the camp
Of Duchacka Wola
Whether they get a bone
Or a very hard stone
It doesn't matter in
The nazi regime
They were brought here
By German murderers and Gestapo men
They were given strange clothes
But never received a free moment
Bayonets drove them
Into closed railway cars
In the spirit of the time
They were exhausted and unable to breath
Oh mighty God
Trusted defender, dear Father
Extinguish the fire of Hell
Finish our troubles
From the cruel whip
Of the German murderer Mr. Keil (nazi supervisor)
Protect us, Oh Merciful
The persecuted children of Israel
Under the control of the eastern railway
Exist thousands of slaves in the camp
of Duchacka Wola
[Picture of Israel Platner in Toronto, Canada]
This is how I feelIf I had courage
I would do the following
Not withstanding the laughter of the cynics
That I would ignore
I would dress a black sack of coal
For the destruction of Polish Jewry
And walk in the streets and scream
That would attract the attention of the young and old
And even the infants would join
Everybody would ask what is going on
Then I would scream even louder
For I hear the dying pains
Those reach us here
From the valley of the death
Where the German murder and persecute
The children of Israel
Hear, Hear, the vulgar beastly laughter
That silences the innocent crying
Of the daughters of Jacob
Why doesn't mankind morn
Like a mourner in the thirty days of morning
Don't you see the Boxes of Ashes?
From the murdered saints
Wicked science
Rotten civilization
A big slaughterhouse you call
Lublin Reservation
Let my heart be torn to pieces
If I can't awaken the conscience of the world
Ha, Ha, Ha, cultural advancement
Why the need for encyclopedias
Who needs literature?
Let it all explode
With the full impact
Better scream at the murderer
Drop the axe
Close the laboratories
Who needs to split the atoms?
Children whose bellies are swollen from hunger
Try to keep them alive
If you men, rich or poor
Are able to sit in peace and do nothing
Listen to the radio at home
And their suffering you don't want to hear
Then, a flood may come and soon
To wipe out mankind
Let the animals remain in the forest
Let them stay alive for they are innocent
But the people, they are evil!

Lee launched the venture on Kickstarter.com on Monday in an effort to raise $1.25 million by August 21 to cover the costs of his upcoming project, which he simply stated would be about "the addiction of blood."
The online appeal immediately won the support of Soderbergh and he decided to make the large donation to aid his fellow filmmaker.
Lee offered up various rewards to potential investors in exchange for financial support, and Soderbergh's hefty gift has won him a dinner date with the director and the chance to join him courtside at a future New York Knicks basketball game.
Lee tells MTV blog NextMovie.com, "I'm taking him to dinner and we're going to the game together. I don't even know if he likes sports! So I'm gonna pick the game for him. But I'm giving a huge shout-out to my man Steven Soderbergh for the support and I'm really humbled with Steven coming on board and doing that. Thank you, Steven."
Soderbergh is one of over 700 investors in Lee's film project.

Simple but Powerful FPGA CPU
If you read this blog with any regularity you probably know I have a thing for designing CPUs to run on FPGAs. I also enjoy Forth now and then.
Here's a pretty simple CPU that runs practically native Forth. That's not exactly a new idea, of course, but I was impressed that the CPU is about 200 lines of Verilog. Although you could wish for more comments, this wouldn't be a bad start for someone who wanted to get their feet wet in CPU design on FPGAs. Its more substantial than some of the really small CPUs, but not as large as some (like my own One-Der).
The author claims the J1 can have a complete system with TCP/IP stack in about 8K bytes and runs at 100 MIPS. Or you can load up an XESS board with it and play Space Invaders if you prefer.

Recently I mentioned Confederate efforts to arm and equip the batteries defending Charleston, South Carolina in the winter of 1862-3. On this day (January 23) in 1863, Colonel Ambrosio J. Gonzales, Chief of Artillery and Ordnance for General P.G.T. Beauregard's department, filed a report detailing the rifled guns in South Carolina and the ammunition available for those guns.
The report included a table similar to this one, with the title "Approximate statement of rifled guns in South Carolina":
In the remarks section below the table, Gonzales explained the disposition of a handful of other weapons in the department:
Besides the within rifled guns there are in Georgetown, S.C.. two 12-pounder banded rifled guns, received from Richmond and two 6-pounder rifled Blakely guns.
In Georgia there are one 32-pounder rifled, one 30 pounder Parrott, two 24-pounder Blakely and a few field 6-pounders. There are in Florida, as far as is known, a few 3-inch rifled guns.
Thus all told, Gonzales tallied over seventy guns. Almost half of the total were field gun caliber weapons. Those were of little use against the Federal fleet, which was seen as the most dangerous threat. Indeed, none of these guns were larger than 7-inch caliber (42-pdr).
Even more troubling for Gonzales was the lack of projectiles for the guns. From the totals offered in the table, the guns had an average of forty rounds each. Fine if you are an infantryman planning to skirmish for an hour or so. But not enough for a fortification defending the entrance to one of the Confederacy's major seaports. Gonzales, and his commander, desired nearly four times that amount to defend the southern coasts:
Colonel Gorgas is most earnestly requested to provide the promised 150 rounds per each of the above guns, and above all to send the projectiles for the 12 pounder and 6-pounder bronze, the 20-pounder Parrott, the ammunition for which was not sent with the guns from Richmond, although packed and addressed in the presence of Major Alston, and the 3.67 caliber guns.
Recall that earlier in the month, Colonel Joshia Gorgas agreed to supply projectiles. But at the same time he'd cautioned against converting too many smoothbores to rifles, due to limited projectile supplies.
Gonzales' report references several less common artillery types. Mentioned are imported Whitworths and Blakelys. Perhaps the "weaker" Parrotts were of Confederate manufacture. Although I would point out the lone rifled 18-pdr gun reported in September 1862 does not appear on Gonzales' list.
But the "12-pounder old English siege (rifled)" ?
At least one of those is still in Charleston – banded and rifled. This artifact, cast during the reign of King George II, is among the oldest cannon used in the Civil War. And certainly the oldest weapon taken in hand for modification. That, I say, is deserving of a separate post!
(Gonzales' report and citations are taken from OR, Series I, Volume 14, Serial 20, pages 754-5.)

63 Best Birthday Cake Coloring Picture Increases Concentration, Coloring activities can train your child's concentration to stay focused on the work done even though there are many other activities that occur around him. A child who is completing a coloring assignment will focus on the drawing sheet he is painting, so that even if around him is noisy with the activities of other children, he will still focus on completing the task of coloring it. It is this ability to concentrate which will be useful for the child to solve math problems or other subjects that require high concentration.
Coloring Training Your Little One Making Targets, The coloring process requires one target, which is to successfully color the entire available image field. By doing coloring activities early on the little one will learn to complete the task at hand. It is here that the little one's responsibility will be nurtured by the work he receives while fostering the confidence of the little one that he can complete the task at hand. This attitude will help him complete his tasks later, and also train him to not easily give up on the challenges he will face. Given the many benefits of coloring activities for little ones, there's nothing wrong if parents start getting their children used to coloring pictures from an early age, start with images that are not too detailed so that your child can more easily apply the colors he wants to inscribe. Do not give too many rules, both in choosing colors and giving a line boundary, let him explore with the colors and images in front of him.
Hello all of you, thank you for visiting my website, it's great to meet you all. Here I will show some images that are easy to color, one of them is Birthday Cake Coloring. We hope this picture can inspire you all to create deeper. I display some pictures that we think are very feasible to download, why is that? Because We provide good quality images, so that when you download and print them get results that are charming You can see some other photos on this webpage that are suitable for you consumption, there are some other interesting images

12 Things to Do in Your Free Time If You Only Had to Work 40 Hours a Week
Research indicates that working more than the traditional 40 hours a week can actually have a detrimental effect on people, making them unproductive while on the clock. Well, duh! After all that time working, your eyes are bound to start glazing over and mistaking those oh-so-important TPS reports for used coffee filters.
While more and more Americans continue to chalk up at least 50 hours a week on the job, going back to 40 would mean people can get re-acquainted with the joy of seeing a beautiful sunset. But that's not the only benefit. Just imagine all the other great things you can do with your newfound free time if you only worked 40 hours a week:
1. Re-learn that 'overtime' is a term meant only for football, basketball and hockey.
2. Watch all nine hours of 'The Big Bang Theory' that TBS airs each night.
3. Spend time eating in front of the TV, so you can be just as fat and out of shape as the rest of the country.
4. Get a second job to help pay your mortgage.
5. Come up with a clever way to ask out that pretty girl in accounting once you return to the office.
6. Get a third job to help pay your health insurance.
7. Work up a sweat because you're so nervous about asking out that pretty girl in accounting.
8. Get a fourth job to make up for the fact that the third job cut back your hours because your boss saw you were getting tired from the work you're doing on the second job you needed to take to get more money than you make from just your first job.
9. Come up with a great excuse for calling in sick the day after the pretty girl in accounting rejects you.
10. Go back to work because you're just so frustrated watching the news when all the presidential candidates claim they're going to fix the economy.
11. Instead of your work computer, use your personal laptop to go on Facebook, check on your fantasy teams and look at 'artistic' photos of women.
12. Figure out the algorithm that explains exactly why people care so much about the Kardashians.

9/19/ 2012 Presidential True Vote/Election Fraud Simulation Model:Obama 320 EV; 100% Win Probability
Richard Charnin
Sept.19, 2012
The analysis assumes the election is held on the latest poll date:
2012 Presidential True Vote and Monte Carlo Simulation Forecast Model
UPDATE: FINAL 11/5 FORECAST. Go here for the latest version.
Forecast Summary
Obama has jumped out to a commanding 49-44% lead in the battleground state polls. He has 320 expected electoral votes based on his state win probabilities. The 500 trial Monte Carlo simulation indicates that if the election were held today, he would have a 100% win probability (he won all 500 election simulation trials). But it's still too early to project him a winner.
The 7% of voters who are still undecided hold the key to the election. The model currently assumes an equal split of the undecided vote. I suspect they are mostly Democrats disillusioned with Obama but scared by Romney and Ryan. If the undecided voters break for Obama, he will be in a commanding position to win re-election. But look for an October surprise.
Obama needs at least a 55% True Vote to overcome the Fraud factor. He has held a steady 4% lead in the state polls since April. The polls are anticipating the inevitable 5% reduction in Obama's True Vote. Immediately after the Democratic Convention, Obama moved into a 5% lead in the Gallup (RV) and Rasmussen (LV) national tracking polls, but the polls are tied once again.
The forecast model is a combination of a) a pre-election Monte Carlo Simulation Model, which is based on the latest state polls, and b) the True Vote Model, based on a feasible estimate of new and returning 2008 voters and corresponding estimated vote shares. The model will be updated periodically for the latest state and national polls.
The source of the polling data is the Real Clear Politics (RCP) website. The simulation uses the latest state polls. Recorded 2008 vote shares are used for states which have not yet been polled.
Model.......... Obama Romney
True Vote...... 55.25% 44.75%
Expected EV.... 379.64 158.36
Snapshot EV.... 380 158

Snapshot EV.... 322 216
National Polls
Average....... 48.20% 45.30%
Projection.... 51.45% 48.55%
Pop. Win Prob.. 92.2% 7.8%

Projection..... 52.5% 47.5%
Mean EV........ 320.4 217.6
Max EV......... 351 187
Min EV......... 278 260
EV Win Prob.... 100.0% 0.0%
The 2008 True Vote Model (TVM) determined that Obama won in a landslide by 58-40.3%. Based on the historical red-shift, he needs at least a 55% True Vote share to overcome the systemic 5% fraud factor. The TVM was confirmed by the unadjusted state exit poll aggregate: Obama had an identical 58-40.5% margin (76,000 respondents). He won unadjusted National Exit Poll (17,836 respondents) by an even bigger 61-37% margin.
The National Exit Poll displayed on mainstream media websites (Fox, CNN, ABC, CBS, NYT, etc.) indicate that Obama had 52.9%. As usual, the unadjusted state and national exit polls were forced to match the recorded share.
The True Vote Model
In projecting the national vote, the required input to the TVM are returning 2008 voter turnout rates in 2012 and estimated 2012 vote shares. The rates are applied to each state in order to derive the national aggregate turnout . A 1.25% annual voter mortality rate is assumed. There are two options for estimating returning voters. The default option assumes that 2008 voters return in proportion to the unadjusted 2008 exit poll aggregate (Obama won by 58-40.5%). In this scenario, Obama wins by 55-45% with 380 EV and has a 100% EV win probability.
It is important to note that the True Vote is never the same as the recorded vote. The 1988-2008 True Vote Model utilizes estimates of previous election returning and new voters and and adjusted state and national exit poll vote shares.
Sensitivity analysis
The TVM displays the effects of effects of incremental changes in turnout rates and shares of returning voters. Three tables are generated consisting of nine scenario combinations of a) Obama and McCain turnout rates and b) the Obama/Romney shares of returning Obama and McCain voters. The output tables display resulting vote shares, vote margins and popular vote win probabilities.
Monte Carlo Simulation: 500 election trials
There are two options for the simulation model. Both should be used and the results compared. The default option uses the TVM projected state vote shares. The second option uses projections based on the latest pre-election state polls.
The projected vote share is the sum of the poll share and the undecided voter allocation (UVA). The model uses state vote share projections as input to the Normal Distribution function to determine the state win probability.
The simulation consists of 500 election trials. The electoral vote win probability is the number of winning election trials divided by 500.
In each election trial, a random number (RND) between 0 and 1 is generated for each state and compared to Obama's state win probability. If RND is greater than the win probability, the Republican wins the state. If RND is less than the win probability, Obama wins the state. The winner of the election trial is the candidate who has at least 270 electoral votes. The process is repeated in 500 election trials.
2008 State Exit Poll and recorded vote data is displayed in the '2008' worksheet. The latest state polls are listed in the 'Polls" worksheet which will be used for trend analysis. The data is displayed graphically in the 'PollChart' worksheet. A histogram of the Monte Carlo Simulation (500 trials) is displayed in the 'ObamaEVChart' worksheet.
Electoral Votes and Win Probabilities
The Electoral Vote is calculated in three ways.
1. The snapshot EV is a simple summation of the state electoral votes. It could be misleading since there may be several very close elections which go one way.
2. The Theoretical EV is the product sum of the state electoral votes and win probabilities. A simulation or meta-analysis is not required to calculate the expected EV.
3. The Mean EV is the average electoral vote in the 500 simulated elections.
The Mean EV will be close to the Theoretical EV, illustrating the Law of Large Numbers. The snapshot EV will likely differ slightly from the Theoretical EV, depending on the number of state election projections that fall within the margin of error.
Obama's electoral vote win probability is the percentage of 500 simulated election trials that he won.
The national popular vote win probability is calculated using the normal distribution using the national aggregate of the the projected vote shares. The national aggregate margin of error is 1-2% lower than the average MoE of the individual states. That is, if you believe the Law of Large Numbers and convergence to the mean.
The Fraud Factor
Election fraud reduced the 1988-2008 Democratic presidential unadjusted exit poll margin from 52-42% to 48-46% recorded. View the 1988-2008 Unadjusted State and National Exit Poll Database
The combination of True Vote Model and state poll-based Monte Carlo Simulation enables the analyst to determine if the electoral and popular vote share estimates are plausible. The aggregate state poll shares can be compared to the default TVM.
The TVM can be forced to match the aggregate poll projection by…
– Adjusting the vote shares by entering an incremental adjustment in the designated input cell. A red flag would be raised if the match required that Obama capture 85% of returning Obama voters while Romney gets 95% of returning McCain voters (a 10% net defection).
– Adjusting 2008 voter turnout in 2012 in order to force a match to the aggregate projected poll shares. For example, if McCain voter turnout is required to be 10-15% higher than Obama's, that would also raise a red flag.
– Setting the returning voter option to assume the 2008 recorded vote. This is an implicit assumption that the 2008 recorded vote was the True Vote. Of course, the 2008 election was highly fraudulent, but this is what the election forecasters effectively do: they ignore the fraud factor. The resulting model vote shares would then closely match the LV polls and would suggest that Romney has a good chance of winning a rigged election.
In any case, check the simulated, theoretical and snapshot electoral vote projections and the corresponding win probabilities.
Election Model Projections: 2004-2010
In 2004, I created the Election Model , and posted weekly forecasts using the latest state and national polls. The model was the first to use Monte Carlo simulation and sensitivity analysis to calculate the probability of winning the electoral vote. The final Nov.1 forecast had Kerry winning 337 electoral votes with 51.8% of the two-party vote. The forecast closely matched the unadjusted exit polls.
In 2006, the adjusted National Exit Poll indicated that the Democrats won the House by a 52-46% vote share. My 120 Generic Poll Forecasting Regression Model indicated that the Democrats would capture 56.43% of the vote. It was within 0.06% of the unadjusted exit poll.
The 2008 Election Model projection exactly matched Obama's 365 electoral votes and was within 0.2% of his 52.9% recorded share. He won by 9.5 million votes. But the model understated his True Vote. The forecast was based on final likely voter (LV) polls that had Obama leading by 7%. Registered voter (RV) polls had him up by 13% – before undecided voter allocation. The landslide was denied. The post-election True Vote Model determined that Obama won by 23 million votes with 420 EV. His 58% share matched the unadjusted state exit poll aggregate (83,000 respondents).
The exit pollsters have never explained the massive 11% state exit poll margin discrepancy, much less the impossible National Exit Poll 17% discrepancy. If they do, they will surely claim that the discrepancies were due to flawed polling samples. Nor can they explain the rationale of using impossible returning voter weight adjustments to force the exit polls to match the recorded votes in the 1988, 1992, 2004 and 2008 presidential elections.
Pre-election RV and LV Polls
Virtually all early pre-election polls are of Registered Voters (RV). An exception is the Rasmussen poll. It uses the Likely Voter (LV) subset of the full RV sample. Rasmussen is an admitted GOP pollster.
One month prior to the election, the pollsters replace the full RV sample polls with LV subsamples. The RV polls are transformed to LVs to promote an artificial "horse race" – and the poll shares invariably tighten. The Likely Voter Cutoff Model (LVCM) effectively understates the turnout of millions of new Democratic voters – and therefore increases the projected Republican share. Democrats always do better in RV polls than in the LVs.
Media pundits and pollsters are paid to project the recorded vote – not the True Vote. And they are usually right. The closer they are, the better they look. They expect there will be fraud, so they prepare the public for it by switching to LV polls which are usually excellent predictors of the recorded vote. But they never mention the fraud factor which gets them there.
Historically, RV polls have closely matched the unadjusted exit polls – after undecided voters are allocated. They have also been confirmed by the True Vote Model. The loop is closed when implausible/impossible exit polls are forced to match bogus recorded votes that were predicted by biased LV pre-election polls.

The writing style sets a great pace and the blend of facts and humour makes it a joy to read. Bill takes us on a journey through our discovery of the world to the present day. The best aspect of the book is the human side he brings to the discussions on notable people throughout the ages.

Honors Program in Psychology
The Honors program in Psychology is designed to allow exceptional undergraduate students an opportunity to work intensively with a faculty member in conducting a research project.
Honors is excellent preparation for research in graduate school and it is likely to be helpful in the graduate admission process, too. Thanks to the Psychology Department and a Stoller equipment grant, notebook computers and a dedicated lab are available for Psychology Honors students. During the summer before their senior year, Psychology Honors students consult with a faculty advisor, choose a research area, and read the research literature pertaining to that area. Then, in the fall semester a research proposal is written and the actual research is begun. In the spring semester, data collection is completed, data are analyzed, and a final paper is written by the student in collaboration with the advisor. Honors students interact with their faculty advisors, and often graduate students, as well, as they conduct their research.
Honors projects require a substantial time commitment. Therefore, students considering Honors should schedule as much of their Psychology course work as possible in the sophomore and junior years. Professional and Career Issues, Quantitative Methods, and Introduction to Experimental Psychology should be completed before applying for Honors; all must be completed by the end of the Spring semester prior to beginning summer Honors work. As many as possible of the following should be taken before beginning the senior year: Developmental Psychology, Cognitive Processes, Biopsychology, Social Psychology, Dynamics of Personality, and Tests and Measures. By completing the required course work early, students have the background needed for Honors (and are also prepared to take the Psychology GRE for graduate school admission).
Admission Requirements
An interest in and a commitment to research, a strong academic record (especially in research-oriented classes), and a solid background in Psychology are necessary for admission to Honors. The number of students that can be accepted into the Honors program is limited.
Admission Process
Early in the Spring semester, usually of the junior year, an application is completed and submitted to Dr. Charles Waehler, Undergraduate Committee Chair. Included are course grades, a description of the student's research experience and interests, and a brief summary of career goals. A brief letter of recommendation from a faculty member is welcome but optional. The Undergraduate Committee and the Honors coordinator then meet to discuss and rate the applications. Final decisions on acceptance should be available by about the tenth week of the semester.
For further information, please contact an undergraduate advisor or the program coordinator, Dr. Charles Waehler.

Looking back at the tunes we've rewound over the years I was stunned that we hadn't featured a single Prince track. He has been a such a great influence to us and many of the artist we feature. One of the craziest old Prince tracks to resurface this year was a Morris Day collaboration entitled Cloreen Bacon Skin.
It was first released on the long deleted Crystal Ball compilation. It was a 15 minute (!) jam session that took place during the recording of The Time's Ice Cream Castles (1984) and it only features Morris Day on the drums and Prince on vocals (and bass?).
Prince & Morris Day - Cloreen Bacon Skin (1983)
These last days of reminiscing and diggin' in the crates of old Prince tracks we discovered that there's also a hidden remake of "Cloreen Bacon Skin" on a b-side of the Time singel 7" "Tricky". Tricky was written by Prince, but credited to Morris Day. It was co-produced by Morris Day and Prince under the name The Starr Company. The bass and drum parts were largely taken (possibly re-recorded) from Cloreen Baconskin. Prince Rogers Nelson - rest in power.

Apple to become top PC vendor when it releases iPad 3 in 2012
- 30 November, 2011 02:33
Apple is expected to overtake HP and become the leading global PC vendor by mid 2012, according to Reseach firm Canalys.
The iPad has already boosted Apple into second position in the worldwide PC market in quarter three of 2011, but Canalys Analyst Tim Coulling predicts that Apple won't overtake HP before the release of the next-generation iPad.
"Apple has seen its PC market share expand from nine per cent to 15 per cent in just four quarters," said Coulling. "HP and Apple will fight for top position in Q4, but Apple may have to wait for the release of iPad 3 before it passes HP."
Canalys has estimated that the total global PC shipments in 2011 will reach 415 million, up 15 per cent year-on-year, which the research firm says is thanks to increasing tablet sales.
Canalys predicts that total tablet shipments will reach 59 million by the end of the year, with quarter four volumes alone expected to pass 22 million.
Researchers recently found that HP's discontinued TouchPad sold better than Samsung's tablets and took the top spot among tablet vendors behind the iPad this year through October.
