Updates on Gardner and Joba
George A. King III is reporting that Brett Gardner had arthroscopic surgery on his injured right elbow today and everything went as planned. Team physician Chris Ahmad performed the surgery and said there told Gardner's agent that there were "no surprises" and "they found what they expected to find."
On the positive side of things, Brian Cashman was raving about Joba Chamberlain's recovery today while on WFAN:
"Joba's out of control. The stuff he's featuring is remarkable. He's as high as 100 (mph) but upwards consistently (at) 96, 97, 98. He looks really good."
"He's an amazing guy," Cashman said on WFAN. "He's been hurt, he gets hurt a lot, but then his recovery time is like super-human -- always beats the standard. So yeah, he's due back here shortly. I mean, the worst-case scenario would be the first week of August, but he should be here ahead of that."

Bobby Ryan left off U.S. men's Olympic hockey team
Larry Lage The Associated Press
Published 6:08 pm EST, Wednesday, January 1, 2014
ANN ARBOR, Mich. >> Bobby Ryan helped the U.S. to the silver medal in the 2010 Olympics.
Unless Ryan gets a spot for the Sochi Games to replace an injured player, he will not have a chance to help the Americans go for gold.
The U.S. Olympic hockey team was announced Wednesday after Toronto's shootout victory over Detroit in the NHL Winter Classic.
"We did not pick the 25 best players," general manager David Poile said. "We picked the 25 players we thought gave us a chance to win the gold medal."
Ryan was perhaps the most surprising omission on the 25-man roster. Jack Johnson and Erik Johnson, a pair of defensemen who played in the Vancouver Games, also didn't make the cut.
Jimmy Howard, who couldn't make enough stops to help the Red Wings beat the Maple Leafs, appears to be the Americans' third goaltender behind Jonathan Quick and Ryan Miller.
At Sochi, the U.S. forwards will be: David Backes, Dustin Brown, Ryan Callahan, Patrick Kane, Ryan Kesler, Phil Kessel, T.J. Oshie, Max Pacioretty, Zach Parise, Joe Pavelski, Paul Stastny, Derek Stepan, James van Riemsdyk and Blake Wheeler. John Carlson, Justin Faulk, Cam Fowler, Paul Martin, Ryan McDonagh, Brooks Orpik, Kevin Shattenkirk and Ryan Suter will be on defense for the Americans.

Miller was named MVP of the ice hockey tournament at the Vancouver Games, but he wasn't a lock to keep a spot because Quick, one of many players on the team who has been injured this season, has been perhaps the world's best at stopping shots the past two seasons. Howard, Schneider, Gibson, Tim Thomas and Craig Anderson also were options for the selection committee.
To play to their potential, a lot of banged-up players will have to get healthy this month and stay that way through February.
Players who could've potentially been on the team, but weren't selected include: Ben Bishop, Keith Yandle, Kyle Okposo, Cory Schneider, Brandon Saad and Dustin Byfuglien.
The Americans expect to be a medal contender after they were regarded as young underdogs in 2010, when they were a goal away from knocking off the host Canadians.
The team will be led by Pittsburgh Penguins coach Dan Bylsma. He has been at ease publicly, saying he likes the Americans' chances to win gold for the first time since the Miracle on Ice victory in 1980.

Orlando City beats NYCFC on penalties to advance to USOC semi's

ORLANDO – Orlando City SC (beat NYCFC in penalty kicks (5-4) on Wednesday night to move on to the semifinals in the US Open Cup for the first time in in team history. Exploria Stadium proved to be a proving ground, as Orlando City fans showed how much they love their team, and fought to support them when they needed them most.
First, to the match. After a pretty uneventful first half, where the Lions couldn't manage to get any shots on target, and NYCFC only had one, the teams came out for the second half with vigor.

In the 61st minute, Orlando City got on the board after Sebas Méndez won the ball at midfield, and played Nani on the left wing. The Portuguese midfielder took it down the left side and crossed a ball into the penalty area. His cross found the head of Chris Mueller at the far post, who hammered it home for the finish.
Both teams continued to battle on in the second half as their energy drained minute by minute after multiple game weeks. Fatigue definitely settled in.
The game served as City's third match over an eight day span, having played last Wednesday and Sunday against Philadelphia. The Lions will play eight matches over the span of 26 days, with Wednesday's game the third of that series. The team now holds a 1-1-1 record across all competitions in that time frame.
The Lions were able to hold NYCFC off to the end of regulation, but in stoppage time, their New York rivals managed to strike with seconds left.
At the 90+6 minute mark, Jesús Medina sent a ball into the Lions' 18-yard box from just past midfield, that bounced in the area before Maxi Moralez was able to stab at the loose ball for the late equalizer.
Orlando goalkeeper Adam Grinwis expressed how the team felt at that point.
"Yeah and I would just say conceding in the 90th minute was gutting for the boys, and to go into those extra 30 minutes was a grind, and they fought with us all through that. The supporters were there, they kind of were that extra man, and we needed their energy because it was hard to bring ourselves back up after such a gutting moment."
The extra 30 minutes were excruciating to watch as the Lions fought exhaustion, trying to make something happen.

Grinwis made several key saves in the second 15-min period, keeping Orlando in the match as the Lions kept fighting to keep the ball away with tired legs wearing down even on the substitute players.
After the two extra periods, the game went to penalty kicks.

The Officials set up the penalty kick on the south side of the stadium, away from 'The Wall' (Orlando City's supporters section), in front of seats that were not open for sale for the match.
Supporters from The Wall, incredibly, bolted from their seats, sprinted through the stadium concourse, and attempted to enter the empty seats on the south side. Exploria Stadium security attempted to corral the fans as a huge chorus of boo's rang out form the rest of the stadium.
12 security personnel proved to be no match for 200 rabid fans, and the stadium was filled with cheers as the fans rushed into the empty seats behind the south goal.

Orlando eventually won the match 5-4 on penalty kicks, with Grinwins emerging as the night's hero wit key blocks on PK shots from New York.
Penalty Kick Summary:
ORL – Tesho Akindele (Goal)
NYC – Alexander Ring (Save)
ORL – Kyle Smith (Goal)
NYC – Valentín Castellanos (Goal)
ORL – Dom Dwyer (Save)
NYC – Anton Tinnerholm (Goal)
ORL – Will Johnson (Goal)
NYC – Keaton Parks (Goal)
ORL – Dillon Powers (Goal)
NYC – Jesus Medina (Goal)
ORL – Uri Rosell (Goal)
NYC – Maxime Chanot (Save)
"Obviously exceptionally proud of the whole football Club." said Orlando head coach James O'Conner "I think when you look at tonight, I think we've created a little bit of history. I think we won the biggest game in the Club's history, I think, when you look at the fight, the mentality. Granted the last minute we would expect not to concede a goal like that, but I thought the composure when it did go to penalties was excellent. I thought the mentality was very strong. Just immensely proud of the supporters as well. I think when you look at the way they were tonight, they kept pushing and driving and singing and chanting and then at the end even when the penalties is on the far end for the supporters, to just not accept it and come all the way around and get behind the goal, what a special memory for the football club. Just an incredible memory for all of us here tonight."
Orlando City returns to MLS action on Saturday when it hosts the Columbus Crew at Exploria Stadium. Kickoff for that match is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET.

Leapfrogged by Mali at the top of Group C in the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers on Friday, following the Eagles' 1-0 win over Equatorial Guinea in Bamako, Benin will be looking to regain top spot when they host South Sudan in Cotonou on Sunday.
Still undefeated in these qualifiers, the Squirrels sealed their first win of the campaign in the reverse fixture in Juba on Wednesday.
Goals from Frédéric Gounongbe and substitute Steve Mounié either side of half-time gave Omar Tchomogo's side a two-goal lead against the East African minnows, who only managed to pull one back through Chol Dhuor Ngor two minutes from time.
And Stéphane Sessegnon and his teammates will be hot favorites to bag an additional three points against South Sudan in front of their fans, which would see them pull one point clear of Mali ahead of a very tricky trip to Malabo for the Eagles.
The match will kick off at Stade de l'Amitié at 17h00 CAT on Sunday.


Just how fast are things going in Iraq?
Thanks for all this information, lance. The whole thing just makes me sick, but I'm glad the info is available to me. This situation can't be ignored.

Your welcome. Yeah, pretty miserable news but ya never know. The guys who dream up this stuff don't respond well to public scrutiny, light of day stuff. If enough people raise a fuss, well I try to remain hopeful.
Anybody catch Congressman Murtha's speech from last week?
"When asked about Mr. Cheney's remarks on Wednesday, Mr. Murtha replied sarcastically: "I like guys who've never been there that criticize us who've been there. I like that. I like guys who got five deferments and never been there and send people to war and then don't like to hear suggestions about what needs to be done."
Did anyone catch the comments that Ohio Congresswoman Jean Schmidt made on the floor of the House?
One of Murtha's points was that the US military can't win on the ground unless there is a draft, which there isn't. Also interesting that Pelosi, Reid and others kept there distance. I thought I read somewhere that Murtha asked Pelosi to keep her distance because he didn't want his statement to appear one out of the left. Liberal bloggers have been pretty upset by the seemingly tepid support Murtha has received from Democrats.
IMHO I think "staying the course" is done. Heard on NPR today that the Pentagon and Sec. of State Rice are discussing a troop withdrawal scheduled next year. Seems to me not a question of whether the US will get out but when.
To be honest, I don't really know how I feel about an exit strategy. I mean, part of me thinks 'stay in there and finish what you started' - 'saving' the Iraqi people means giving them security so they don't have to walk around afraid for their lives. BUT if they withdrew, would Iraq plunge into a massive civil war? I tend to think it would, because there will be an almighty great power vacuum. The sad fact is, I don't know enough about the facts at this point, and I don't know if anyone does. I don't think it's necessarily about cowardice, it's about (or it should be about) doing what will restore security to Iraq. There are a lot of arguments floating about regarding what is best for the USA and Britain at this point (do we spend more money on this war? do more servicemen lose their lives?) which I think clouds the issue. We steamed in there, and let's face it, the final justification given was because 'it will help the Iraqi people'. So I think you have to stick to that aim, and angle your means towards achieving it. Anything else at this point will make it look like we went in for WMDs and the argument about saving the Iraq people was a smokescreen (which I tend to believe anyway). In a sense the administrations (and I include Blair in this) have tied their hands: they can't use the WMD argument anymore, because it's flawed. They have to rely on the morality of ridding the Iraqi people of Saddam (who, let's not forget, we put there and helped to keep there). To do this, they have to prove their invasion leaves Iraq better off. Which they can't do until Iraq is secure.
As an interesting aside, I'm studying Theories of International Relations at the moment, which makes this all VERY interesting. It really does represent a pivot point in world politics. There are many, many Americans in the class - I would say they make up around 1/3 of the numbers.
As another interesting aside, in class the other week, someone said 'I wonder what will happen when more Americans have died in Iraq than were killed on 9/11. Will there be a public outcry?'. I think that has to represent some kind of moral tipping point.
I think beyond all the politics is one basic formula for how long we will stay in Iraq. Will it cost us more to maintain a presence there to ensure lower oil prices, or will it be more expensive to withdraw and deal with higher prices?
Nothingman wrote: Will it cost us more to maintain a presence there to ensure lower oil prices, or will it be more expensive to withdraw and deal with higher prices?
Yes, I fear this may well be what it comes down to (representing the neorealist viewpoint in international relations). I rather suspect this will be a behind the scenes confidential calculation though, because to admit this will be political suicide. Of course, having said that, Bush can't serve another term (thankfully) and Blair has already said he won't stand again. Arguments about the 'should' of the situation have proven to fall on deaf ears repeatedly.
So, in a sense, we have the 'public' reason staying or going, and the 'real' reason. Just like everything else.
I find myself turning into such a cynic, and it depresses me. I want optimism! I want eternal youth! I choose Life! aaagh.
Nothingman wrote: I think beyond all the politics is one basic formula for how long we will stay in Iraq. Will it cost us more to maintain a presence there to ensure lower oil prices, or will it be more expensive to withdraw and deal with higher prices?
We are losing 1,000 killed EVERY year. So if we stay for two more years at the current troop levels, 2,000 more families will be destroyed. Simple as that. Put another way, if we pull out now Iraq will be in civil war. If we withdraw in 10 years Iraq will be in civil war.
Odom was once part of the NSA and was my brother's professor at Yale.
One of the interesting points he raises: the Iranian goverment and Iraqi Bathists has Al Queda. If it wasn't for the American presence Al Queda would find itself destroyed or expelled rather quickly by these two parties.

Legion Xbox Series X Autosave Bug to Be Fixed in Early December
Watch Dogs: Legion has a widespread issue in which autosaving simply stops working on Xbox Series X – an issue Ubisoft is now aware of, and will release a fix for in early December.
It's not clear what causes the bug to kick in, but players report that hours of progress can be lost after autosave seemingly either stops working, or ignores recent checkpoints. It's a particualrly serious issue given that Legion doesn't allow manual saving, and console versions only have a single autosave slot.
The problem seems to only affect the Series X version of the game, with multiple players reporting the issue on the Ubisoft forums, Twitter, and in emails to IGN.
I myself have experienced the issue – after playing the entirety of Legion on Xbox One without a saving issue, I switched to Series X towards its final stages. Autosave stopped working from the beginning of the final campaign mission and around an hour into the post-game. When I reloaded, my character was about to begin the final mission again, meaning about an hour and half's progress was lost.
Without a clear cause for the issue, there's no notable workaround, meaning playing the game on Series X currently comes with an inherent risk of losing progress. Ubisoft has now begun informing players that it's aware of the issue, and that a fix will arrive in "early December"
We're sorry about the issues you're experiencing. The team is aware of this issue and are working on a fix for it, which we're aiming to have in a patch in early December.
— Watch Dogs: Legion (@watchdogsgame) November 20, 2020
It seems the best course of action, for now, is to play the game on another format if possible – which is at least made a little easier by Ubisoft Connect's cross-platform progression. We awarded Watch Dogs: Legion an 8/10 review, saying its "bold use of roguelike mechanics in an open-world action game pays off in interesting ways, making this visit to near-future London feel more varied than the previous two games".

Olympiacos and Besiktas will matchup tomorrow for the first time ever in a European cup, however the luck of the draw paired the two teams together in the 1959 European Cup.
About 59 years ago, the then dominant champions of Greece during that time period, Olympiacos, were set to play in their first ever European competition, the 1959 European Cup. However, the luck of the draw was not so lucky as the Erythrolefki were paired up with Turkish side Besiktas during a period where Greek/Turkish relations were extremely tense due to the issue of Cyprus, which was still under British occupation.
Both teams wanted to avoid a trip to the opposing country and Besiktas proposed that the two-legged fixtures be held at a neutral site (Belgrade), something that did not benefit the Greek side at all. Unfortunately at that point in time, Olympiacos were still an "amateur" club, both economically and roster wise, and that option was clearly not a possibility.
In July 1958 the Board of Directors were left with no choice but to remove Olympiacos from the competition and Besiktas were awarded the win, advancing to the next round. There they were defeated by the eventual winners Real Madrid (4th straight title) 1-1 and 2-0 over two legs.

Q: Looping in C after determining ending number? I'm looking for a way, in C, to loop through numbers after determining how to divide the number up (i.e. if I have to split the number list into 4 loops, I want to start the first loop at numbers 0 through 24, the second loop, 25 through 49, etc.)
int ch, count = 0, thread = 4, div = 0;

FILE *fp = fopen("number_list.txt", "r+");

do
{
    ch = fgetc(fp);

    if( ch == '\n')
    count++;

} while(ch != EOF);

div = (count/thread);

What I'm looking to do is build a for loop after this to read the first 25 numbers, then do a specific action (like a square for each number), then in the next loop, pick up where the last loop left off in terms of number count and number in file.
I appreciate everyone's help!

A: Odly enough, with the help of @Kaylum I was able to work it through. I used his portion, and modified it a little to get what I needed:
int i, j;

    for (i = 1; i < 5; i++)
    {
        for (j = ((i*25)-25); j < (i*25-25)+25; j++)
        {
            printf("Square Array Number: %d\n", j);
        }

        printf("-----ProcessID %d-----\n", i);

    }

Forskolin Review: Does This Supplements Actually Work?
We always tend to think that very expensive products are the best. They always look glamorous and they are presented in a flawless way. The shiny and appealing packages make you believe that they are exactly what you need.
This herb has always been an irreplaceable natural cure, without which the traditional Indian medicine couldn't do.
However, the US gave the second birth to this plant in 2014. Thus, it was the year when it was found out that Forskolin can successfully help people lose excess weight.
But have you ever thought that some cheap products might be better than the ones that destroy your budget?
Sometimes pricey products are more about the package and the overpriced TV commercials or other kinds of marketing methods. These strategies always increase the price of the item and it's not unheard of to pay much more for the ads and package than for the thing you're actually looking for.
Sure, a high quality product needs lots of hard work, preparing and carefully planning. But when you don't have to literally manufacture the product from scratch, the costs are significantly lower. This is often the case with natural supplements. Many wonders of nature get transformed into capsules in order to handle various health or cosmetic purposes.
Herbs for ED help you lose weight but can easily become a burden to your budget. Natural ones are often cheaper than you'd expect, though they contain exotic herbs and roots from countries located very far away. Forskolin is an incredibly effective ally against those extra pounds. The best thing about it is that is can come cheap.
Still, as with any other product you need to make sure that you won't get scammed.
Make sure that the Forskolin supplement is an all-natural product. Get the best out of your money by purchasing pure Forskolin and avoid supplements that don't contain the organic ingredient. You can get 100% natural Forskolin so don't settle for less though you want a very affordable price. Also, in order to minimize the amount of money you spend, look for a manufacturer that provides free bottles along with a supply for 3 or 4 months. If you don't really trust products made in faraway countries look for one that is tested and made in USA.
Watch out for manufacturers of best male enhancement pills that don't provide a money back guarantee for the Forskolin that they're selling. A good manufacturer knows that people will be satisfied with the results so he's confident enough to give a 100% money back guarantee. It's highly important to get Forskolin from a reliable website that guarantees the safety of your purchases. It needs to be verified and completely secure. So make sure you see a 100% secure logo.
Forskolin is the best way to lose weight in a natural and affordable way. Just watch out for pitfalls and look for the purest product. Thousands of people who use Forskolin already would choose it over a very high-priced chemical.
Forskolin stimulates enzymes that help kick your body into fat burning mode. Specifically, it stimulates the release of adenylate cyclase, which stimulates the fat burning process and metabolism allowing you to burn fat more efficiently.
Forskolin's also raises cyclic AMP (cAMP) levels in the body. cAMP assists in many cellular functions, including testosterone boosting. Increased testosterone levels lead to better workouts and more lean mass produced from those workouts.
Everything is bigger here, but your belly shouldn't be one of those things. Forskolin can help you get the body you want. Whether that's shedding a few pounds or adding a bit of muscle, Forskolin makes it easier.
Buy Forskolin and enjoy the food trucks today without wondering if you'll fit into your swimsuit tomorrow.

Chop Shop Casual Urban Eatery, which opened in 2014 on a revitalizing stretch of East Colfax Avenue, is not your normal fast-casual joint — at least not if your definition of fast-casual begins and ends with Chipotle. Run by Clint Wangsnes, a veteran chef with experience in Hawaii, Napa Valley and Miami Beach, the restaurant could easily moonlight as one of the trendy full-service spots that have taken over the city these past few years, with exposed brick as well as tables and booths crafted of wide-plank barn wood; even cocktails are batched and served with happy-hour nibbles such as sliders and hoisin-tamarind ribs. Wangsnes, however, decided to go in a more casual direction, adding an order line, glowing computerized menu boards and clip-on numbers to facilitate food delivery. And he did so because he wanted to serve a group that's barely tolerated, much less emphasized, by most restaurateurs: families, who deserve good food, too. And Chop Shop definitely delivers.

All The Assassin's Creed III Information You Could Ever Want
Assassin's Creed 3 has been in development for over three years. When the game is finally released, it will be almost four years. Eight studios have been working on the game to make sure a lot of "power" will be behind it. The game will be using a new engine called AnvilNext (an upgrade of what was used in Assassin's Creed 2), which allows the dev team to include over 2,000 characters on-screen at any time, implement a dynamic weather system, and overhaul the animation system.
If you would like to read about Assassin's Creed 3's plot, gameplay changes, etc click here. New Collector's Editions have been leaked as well, which you can see here. To see some screen shots of the game, click here. If you would like to watch Connor's video, click here.
Information From The Demo
Connor is the main character and is a half British half Mojave Indian.
Scalping was removed as Connor's heritage suggests his tribe did not scalp.
2000 characters are on-screen.
Gameplay is across huge battle grounds.
Time runs between reloads.
There are new seamless multikills.
A musket or bow is used in ranged combat.
Close combat is used with pistols, a hidden blade, or a tomahawk.

You can use auto crouch stealth when entering foliage.
The weather changes with things such as rain, snow, and fog.
Footprints can be used for tracking.
Blood trails can be used for tracking.
Animals like wolves will attack in packs.

Snow depth can hamper movement speed.
Ice and wet surfaces can be slippery.
The day and night cycle returns.
Connor can grab guns from racks whist on the run.
Foliage parts as Connor runs through it.
Connor fights the oppressive regime.
The game is set in the 1770's time period.
Trees can be used to cross wide streets.
Wilderness activities and missions constitute 30% of missions.
Born from a Native American village, Connor is half British and half Mojave Indian. In early missions, you will take on the role of a young Connor and experience life in a Mojave village. Adult Connor's primary mission involves seeing that justice is done. Connor is also equally concerned with making sure that the Mojaves have a place in the new world that will be forged from the American Revolution. Connor will have access to a tomahawk, dual pistols, bow and arrow, various knives, and a musket.
Ubisoft says that Assassin's Creed 3's new engine, AnvilNext, allows for over 2,000 characters on screen at once. A certain battle scene during the demo featured an enormous number of soldiers. The musket smoke, the mix of background and foreground characters, the cannon fire, and the dense forest backdrop made for a very nice historical feel. All of the characters benefit from a rebuilt animation system that affects enemy movements, how smoothly you can climb and fight, and the realism of facial expressions in cut-scenes. AnvilNext focuses on scale and detail.
Assassin's Creed 3 takes place in two cities, but The Frontier zone separates them. The Frontier is 2×2 kms of forest filled with wild animals, snow, and climbable trees and rock faces. New York and Boston's appearance will alter as you make your way through the game's thirty year time span. The main story will play out equally between the three areas. 30% of the game is set in The Frontier. The team is aiming to include certain key events that occurred in the cities during the time-frame.
The Frontier is full of animals. In the demo, there were foxes, bears, wolves, and deer. Connor can hunt and "harvest" these animals for their pelts and meat. We still do not know what harvesting will provide is as yet unknown. Shoot an animal with a gun and the bullets will ruin their skin, thus negatively impacting the value of its fur, whereas stealthier kills with your knife provide a clean yield.
Connor can climb flat faces of rock by using natural cracks and small hand holds as grips. Trees can also be scaled and jumped between, giving you a monkey's perspective of the forest and allowing you to gain a height advantage over animals and enemies. Snow that is deep will cause Connor to move more slowly and forces him to visibly exert more effort in a bid to traverse it effectively. Free-running will allow for slicker means of dodging through crowded areas and around low standing obstacles. One gameplay sequence from the demo was Connor escaping armed guards by jumping from the top of a lamp post and in through the open window of a house.
As the game progresses through its thirty-year cycle, weather will reflect each of the seasons. The weather will force you to alter your combat approach. As muskets are fired using an exposed plate of gunpowder they can not be fired in the rain, which will reduce the risk to Connor when fighting enemies equipped with such weapons. George Washington, Charles Lee, Ben Franklin and Gilbert du Metier de Lafayette are all included in the game. Certain famous speeches given to troops before battle have been recreated word for word and key buildings from New York and Boston are present and correct as well.
The counterattacking system allows the team to use slick animations and a simple control scheme to provide excitement. Connor can dual wield various weapons. Connor can grab enemies and use them as cover from musket fire. In one part of the demo, the remaining enemies hesitated and refused to shoot the soldier being used as cover, which provided the time required for Connor to launch an attack and take them all out before they could react. The cover system was also used and promised that you will be able to take enemies out in a single surprise attack when hidden.

From Somaliland - there is one woman in the lower house of parliament and getting more women elected would require quotas at least, to overcome entrenched barriers. The article quotes Baar Saed Farah who is the only woman in Somaliland's 82-member Lower Chamber. Women are not permitted in the 82-member House of Elders in the Upper Chamber.
'In normal employment there is no differentiation between genders but when it comes to political participation it becomes very difficult for women because of a culture that favors men'.
'Even women may not accept a woman running for election because they are so used to men making decisions'.

Online dating is challenging enough, without having to worry about scammers. Unfortunately, online dating scams could affect anyone, including Red Rocks members.
Someone wants your personal information too quickly. Never share personal information such as account number, address, or SSN. If someone is pushing you to reveal any personal information too soon, it should serve as a warning sign.
They can't meet with you in person. If they are requesting that personal information be sent electronically yet will not meet you in person, this is a huge red flag.
They confide in you about money trouble or a sick family member. By nature, we want to help others. If you've met someone online and they've began to gain your trust by sharing stories about their suffering loved one without proper medical care, job loss, etc., be cautious. They could be laying the groundwork to scam you by pulling on your heart strings.
Trust your intuition: if something makes you feel uncomfortable, don't do it. Also, rely on friends and family for feedback, sometimes they see things from a different and more realistic perspective.


The origins of this historic bodega date back to 1264 when Don Alfonso Valdespino was one of 24 knights responsible for expelling the Moors from Jerez. As a reward for his efforts the king gave him land grants in the city of Jerez and thus began Bodegas Valdespino. Although commercial activities are recorded as far back as 1430, the company was not registered until 1875. In 1883 the House of Valdespino became a purveyor of sherry to the Royal House of Spain and in 1932, they also became purveyors of sherry to the Royal House of Sweden.
In 1910, they trademarked "Sacristia" which is the area in the bodegas where the best casks of sherry are kept. Other bodegas now use this term, but it is only Valdespino who have the right to use it.
What makes Valdespino unique? The heart of Valdespino is its vineyards. It is the only sherry house to have single vineyard wines. Macharnudo Alto Vineyard is one of the 'grand cru' vineyards of Jerez. It is 56.2 hectares, located 5 kilometers in the northwest of Jerez, in the middle of the region in within the famous Pago Macharnudo. It is located 135 meters high over the sea level, directed to the southeast with a 10% level. The vines are grown on albariza soil or bright white chalk.
Some Valdespino wines are still fermented the traditional way, in aged oak barrels; the norm for most houses today is stainless steel fermentation. They are also one of a few estates that take the solera system to the extreme going way beyond DO minimum regulations for all the categories. As an example fino sherry is required to have 2 criaderas (nursery levels of the solera) and the DO average tends to be 3 – Valdespino's Fino Inocente has 10 Criaderas!
"I've often called Valdespino 'the Romanee-Conti of Jerez.' Well, there, I've said it. To me they represent quality and tradition at the very top of the Sherry hierarchy. The winery, soleras and brands are old, registered in 1875, but with documentation about their commercial and winegrowing activities going back to the 13th century. Their recent history starts in 1999, when Jose Estevez purchases the company from the Valdespino family. Today Valdespino is the jewel in the crown of the Grupo Estevez, which also includes Real Tesoro and La Guita, who stock and age 35,000 botas of Sherry and own 800 hectares of vineyards, 56 of which come from the Pago Macharnudo, on pure white albariza soil, one of the best vineyards in the Marco de Jerez, and 17 hectares from the heart of Macharnudo are still fermented in bota today and form the core of brands like Inocente, Tio Diego, CP or Cardenal. All the wines were carefully and slowly moved to the new facilities of the Grupo Estevez on the outskirts of Jerez, where they continue their development under the supervision of Eduardo Ojeda, technical director, winemaker, who as a wine-lover is very aware of his role preserving these old soleras, wines and traditions."
Smoky and taut, featuring date, dried orange peel, clove, singed sandalwood and salted caramel notes. The dry, nervy finish has lots of tension. Begs for salted almonds.
High-pitched, featuring talc, chamomile, chalk and jicama notes, followed by a pure, stone-tinged finish. Very graceful, lacy and long.
The NV Fino Inocente must be one of the few wines in Jerez that is still fermented in 600-liter American oak botas, which is an incredible amount of work compared with fermenting tens of thousands of kilos of grapes (or even more) in a big stainless steel tank. This method was the norm of yesteryear, but is so labor intense that it was discontinued in most wineries, and gives a big diversity of wines, as each barrel has its own character, which contributes to the complexity of the blend. Furthermore, the bottled wine is on average 8 to 10 years old. One other thing that makes it apart from other Finos is that the grapes are exclusively from the high part of the Macharnudo vineyard, so this is a single-vineyard Fino. The nose is very complex, showing the effect of the long lees contact: chalk, dried hay, aromatic herbs and salty almonds. The palate is full, but at the same time elegant and balanced, powerful and fine, with the texture of a Meursault rather than a Puligny. A very complex wine, that manages to be both powerful and elegant. Inocente is great value for money. Drink 2013-2016.
The NV Tio Diego Amontillado Palomino from the Macharnudo vineyard, is fermented in botas, aged biologically for 10 years under flor in a solera separated from Inocente, and with a further five years of oxidative aging. It has a beautiful, perfumed nose of dry flowers, very elegant and clean, subtle, with some saline notes, both in the nose and the palate, where it is balanced, medium-bodied and elegant. A very fine Amontillado, showing superb value for a 15-year-old wine. Drink 2013-2019.
The NV El Candado Pedro Ximenez, produced from sun-dried Pedro Ximenez grapes for two weeks, and aged in a solera for an average of 8-10 years, is bottled with 400 grams of sugar and 17% alcohol. Mahogany color, the nose is a symphony of candied, dried fruits, raisins, figs and dates. The palate is clean, very sweet and spicy, and should be consumed quite fresh (10?C), with chocolate dessert (or as a dessert in itself). Drink 2013-2015.
The rum raisin, date and burnt orange peel notes are nicely melded with fruitcake and licorice root accents, all allied to a juicy, lush frame.
The NV Palo Cortado Cardenal VORS, like the whole VORS collection from Valdespino is outstanding. It is fed from the solera of the Palo Cortado C.P. where the Palomino grapes come from the Macharnudo Alto vineyard, fermented in American oak botas. It's 22% alcohol and has nine grams of (undetectable) residual sugar which makes it very drinkable. It's a monumental wine of dark mahogany color with a green edge, a complex, ever-changing, concentrated, clean and delineated nose of spices, dark chocolate, Cuban cigar and balsamic notes of incense, and a sharp, saline palate. It is highly concentrated, powerful and clean, with an eternal, lingering aftertaste. Deciding between Coliseo and Cardenal might be splitting hairs, and as much as I love Coliseo, I felt Cardenal was just one notch above. At the quality helm of Palo Cortado. Drink 2013-2025.
The NV Oloroso Solera de su Majestad VORS produced from Palomino grapes from the Carrascal vineyard, has aged in a solera for over 30 years. It has a bright mahogany color and a subtle nose of noble woods, walnuts, aromatic herbs, and a touch of brandy. The palate is quite gentle for a VORS. Very polished and round, with a pungent, intense feeling, it feels extremely old. One of the best Olorosos around, it's old enough to have that extra complexity, but not to be too aggressive, as Olorosos can easily get when they're very old. Drink 2013-2017.
The NV Amontillado Coliseo VORS, is an extremely old (much older than the 30 years certified by the VORS classification) and concentrated wine. It is unique, as its origin is from Sanlucar de Barrameda, mainly from the Pago Miraflores, which produced very sharp wines. Dark mahogany colored, with a bright green border, is very aromatic, balsamic and complex, with wild herbs, candied orange rind, spices and dates. The palate is extremely concentrated, dry, and intense but it has no edges, with lively acidity and an eternal finish. It's an extreme wine, some might find it too much, but it's certainly unique and among the greatest wines in the world, to be sipped slowly and in tiny quantities. One of the greatest Amontillados in existence today. Drink 2013-2025.
The NV Moscatel Toneles has reached a mythical status locally in Spain. It's an extremely old, concentrated and powerful sweet wine that was long forgotten, because there was no market for it. The color is dark brown, almost opaque with amber-green edges. The ever-changing nose is an explosion of spices (curry and cinnamon) and noble woods, and from the sheer concentration it displays a myriad of roasted coffee, dark chocolate, balsamic herbs and even a note of coconut. After some time in the glass the roasted orange notes of Muscat come back intermixed with very spicy incense notes. Give it more time and it smells of camphor. It's fascinating to smell it over the course of a few hours - even days. The palate is immensely concentrated, with the alcohol perfectly integrated and the extreme sweetness compensated by a piercing acidity that reminds me of some century-old Madeiras. It ends with an acute coffee note. The aftertaste is eternal. It is exceptional that such an old wine (it could be over 80 years of average age) keeps the freshness and balance, but when this happens, the wine is exceptional. A world-class sweet wine that shows what aged Muscat is able for. With its 430 grams of residual sugar, this wine is indestructible, but only 100 bottles are withdrawn and bottled yearly from a single, large cask. Drink 2013-2034.
The NV Palo Cortado Viejo C.P. produced from Palomino from the Macharnudo Alto is feed with specific casks of Fino Inocente and Amontillado Tio Diego. It was traditionally aged in the Calle Ponce (Ponce Street), and it has kept the C.P. initials since then. It's not age-certified, but the average age of the bottled wine is 25 years. The color is old gold or light amber, and the nose hints at a relatively old wine, with plenty of lactic notes, sweet vanilla, iodine, bitter oranges and spices. The palate is clean and delineated, subtle and on the elegant side of Palo Cortado, ending very dry. Drink 2013-2016.
The impressive line-up is opened with the pale-colored NV Manzanilla Deliciosa, which is produced with Palomino grapes from the Miraflores vineyard and aged for five years under yeast. It is a finer version of La Guita, easy to drink, with a sweet note of apples in the nose, a polished and gentle palate, ending with a saline touch.
As with many other wines from the José Estévez group, there is a special bottling of Valdespino's flagship NV Fino Inocente in magnum. It has all that you expect from Inocente, a long aging wine fermented in bota from grapes grown exclusively in the Macharnudo Alto vineyard and bottled with an average age of ten years. All the textbook aromas and flavors are there, coupled with the elegance and mineral intensity the Macharnudo white chalky soils provide.
It is a very serious Oloroso, even if it's not totally dry. It offers bitter almonds, hazelnuts, incense, Cuban cigar ash, and dark chocolate as well as a complex, a very intense, round and ample palate. This wine really fills your mouth. Very intense and with great acidity, it represents very good value for the quality it delivers. A tamed beast.

Tigers vs. Indians Preview: Michael Fulmer still searching for answers against Cleveland
Fulmer hasn't yet figured out the Tribe in his young MLB career.
By Rob Rogacki@BYBRob Sep 15, 2018, 11:10am EDT
Share All sharing options for: Tigers vs. Indians Preview: Michael Fulmer still searching for answers against Cleveland
Matt Marton-USA TODAY Sports
We're not even three full seasons into Michael Fulmer's MLB career, but the "Fulmer struggles against Cleveland" narrative is already A Thing. This is for good reason, because Fulmer has struggled against the Tribe. He has a 6.11 ERA in seven career starts against the Indians, and a 6.30 ERA in two meetings this year. Those numbers are affected by just a few bad outings — one of which was his third career start — but the good ones have just been that: good, not great.
The lone exception is his last start against them. Fulmer tossed seven strong innings against Cleveland on June 8, allowing just one run while striking out seven. He also didn't walk a batter, just one of four such starts in 2018 (coincidentally, he didn't walk anyone in his other start against the Tribe).
That outing was certainly one of the instances where we thought Fulmer was "back to normal," but this hasn't come to pass. Fulmer's up-and-down season has continued since he came off the disabled list in late August; in his two starts against Not the White Sox, he has given up 12 runs (10 earned) in just 10 innings. There is still little rhyme or reason to his struggles this season, and facing an Indians team in a ballpark he has not pitched well in — he has a 7.20 ERA in five starts at Progressive Field — doesn't bode well for him turning things around on a dime.
Facing Mike Clevinger doesn't help either.
Detroit Tigers (60-87) at Cleveland Indians (82-65)
Time/Place: 3:10 p.m., Progressive Field
SB Nation site: Let's Go Tribe
Media: Fox Sports Detroit, MLB.TV, Tigers Radio Network
Pitching Matchup: RHP Michael Fulmer (3-11, 4.56 ERA) vs. RHP Mike Clevinger (11-8, 3.16 ERA)
Game 149 Pitching Matchup
Liriano 118.0 18.2 12.9 5.46 -0.1
Bieber 98.0 25.1 4.6 3.00 2.6
You would think Mike Clevinger's numbers against the Tigers this season would be better. They're certainly not bad — he has a 3.09 ERA and 1.11 WHIP in two starts — but he's the exact kind of pitcher Detroit has struggled mightily against in 2018. They are the American League's worst offense against right-handed pitching, the AL's worst offense against four-seam fastballs, and pretty far down the list against sliders too. Clevinger throws his four-seamer over 50 percent of the time, and has upped his slider usage to nearly 22 percent. And he throws one of those two pitches nearly 90 percent of the time against right-handed hitters.
I'm interested to see how he does against the Tigers now, though. They are still fairly right-handed (five of Friday's nine starters batted right-handed), but have a couple more lefties in prominent spots in the lineup. Jim Adduci has continued to get on base, even if he's not walking or hitting for much power, and Christin Stewart has looked capable in his first week of MLB action. The Tigers have also gotten more production from Jeimer Candelario and Victor Martinez lately. This bodes well against Clevinger, who still presents with fairly significant platoon splits. Lefties are hitting .244/.323/.413 against him this year, a far better stat line than the .606 OPS righties have produced.
Key matchup: Christin Stewart vs. making contact
Stewart has looked the part of a major league hitter so far, reaching base in each of his four big league starts. He has a good approach at the plate, and has already drawn four walks in just 20 plate appearances. But there will be an adjustment period, and we might be seeing the start of it. Stewart has just three hits so far (all singles) and has punched out six times in just 16 at-bats. That may even out over time — his 13.1 percent swinging strike rate is manageable — but September could be a little rough as he gets used to seeing big league caliber pitching.
It's not a big deal, it just may be frustrating early on.
Clevinger and the Tribe win easily and clinch the AL Central.

Carbon fiber is a carbon material with strong tensile strength and fiber softness and machinability. Carbon fiber is a kind of new material with excellent mechanical properties. The carbon fiber has a tensile strength of about 2 to 7 GPa and a tensile modulus of about 200 to 700 GPa. Density of about 1.5 to 2.0 grams per cubic centimeter, which in addition to the original wire structure, mainly determined by the carbonization temperature. Generally after high temperature graphitization of 3000 ℃, the density of up to 2.0 g per cubic centimeter. Coupled with its light weight, its weight is even lighter than aluminum, less than 1/4 of steel, iron is 20 times stronger than the strength. Carbon fiber thermal expansion coefficient and other fibers, it has the characteristics of anisotropy. The specific heat capacity of carbon fiber is generally 7.12. The thermal conductivity decreases with increasing temperature and is negative (0.72 to 0.90) parallel to the fiber direction and positive (32 to 22) normal to the fiber direction. The specific resistance of the carbon fiber depends on the type of the fiber, and at 25C, the high modulus is 775, and the high-strength carbon fiber is 1500 per centimeter. This results in the highest specific strength and specific modulus of the carbon fiber in all high performance fibers. Compared with titanium, steel, aluminum and other metal materials, carbon fiber in the physical properties of a large intensity, high modulus, low density, linear expansion coefficient and other characteristics, can be called the king of new materials.
Three important applications in sports are the bat and racket frames. It is estimated that the production of bat each year to 34 million. 40% of the world\'s carbon fiber rods are made of carbon fiber. The production of carbon fiber fishing rods around the world is about 20 million per year. The market capacity of the racket frame is about 6 million per year. Other sport applications include ice hockey sticks and ski poles. Carbon fiber is also used in boating, rowing and other marine sports.

Artículo Tom Stranger raped Thordis Elva 20 years ago. Now they give talks together to educate people about consent Articles
Tom Stranger raped Thordis Elva 20 years ago. Now they give talks together to educate people about consent
27 Febrero 2017 13:56
The powerful message behind this Ted Talk by a rape victim and her attacker.
'It was like a fairy tale. His strong arms around me, laying me in the safety of my bed. But the gratitude I felt towards him soon turned to horror as he proceeded to take off my clothes and get on top of me. My head had cleared up, but my body was still too weak to fight back, and the pain was blinding. I thought I'd be severed in two. In order to stay sane, I silently counted the seconds on my alarm clock. And ever since that night, I've known that there are 7,200 seconds in two hours.'
This is a true account of rape as suffered by Thordis Elva, an Icelandic native, when she was just 16. Now, she and Tom Stranger – the man who raped her all those years ago – present a Ted Talk together on their story of 'rape and reconciliation'.
It all started in 1996 when Tom Stranger, an 18-year-old Australian, went on an exchange trip to Iceland. He met Thordis Elva and they soon started going out together. One night, after the Christmas dance, Tom took Thordis home and raped her. They broke up soon after, and a few months later Tom returned to Australia.
The wounds caused by this rape have taken 20 years to heal. In terms of the trauma that she has suffered, Thordis's experience is similar to that of other rape victims. However, in another way, the story of Tom and Thordis is unique.
'Despite limping and crying for weeks, this incident didn't fit my ideas about rape like I'd seen on TV. Tom wasn't an armed lunatic: he was my boyfriend. And it didn't happen in a seedy alleyway, it happened in my own bed. By the time I could identify what had happened to me as rape, he had completed his exchange programme and left for Australia. So I told myself it was pointless to address what had happened. And besides, it had to have been my fault, somehow,' Elva recalls.
'I was raised in a world where girls are taught that they get raped for a reason. Their skirt was too short, their smile was too wide, their breath smelled of alcohol. And I was guilty of all those things, so the shame had to be mine. It took me years to realise that only one thing could have stopped me from being raped that night, and it wasn't my skirt, it wasn't my smile, it wasn't my childish trust. The only thing that could have stopped me from being raped that night is the man who raped me – had he stopped himself.'
By the time I could identify what had happened to me as rape, he had completed his exchange programme and left for Australia. So I told myself it was pointless to address what had happened. And besides, it had to have been my fault, somehow
Elva spent nine years struggling with the effects of the attack, even suffering a nervous breakdown. Until, one day, she decided to send a letter to the man who raped her. To her surprise, he replied, expressing deep remorse for what he had done. He too had felt himself to be a prisoner – of feelings of guilt mixed with denial. The pair then embarked on eight years of correspondence, confessing their feelings and speaking honestly about what had happened that night in Iceland.
But they felt that the wounds wouldn't truly be healed until they could talk face to face about the incident. They decided to meet at a point between their two countries. This turned out to be South Africa.
They spent a week together there, talking about how the incident had affected their lives.
'My actions that night in 1996 were a self-centred taking. I felt deserving of Thordis's body. I've had primarily positive social influences and examples of equitable behaviour around me,' says Tom. 'But on that occasion, I chose to draw upon the negative ones. The ones that see women as having less intrinsic worth, and of men having some unspoken and symbolic claim to their bodies. These influences I speak of are external to me, though. And it was only me in that room making choices, nobody else.'
'I hurt this wonderful person standing next to me. I am part of a large and shockingly everyday grouping of men who have been sexually violent towards their partners,' Tom admits. 'Saying to Thordis that I raped her changed my accord with myself, as well as with her. But more importantly, the blame transferred from Thordis to me.'
He continues: 'Far too often, the responsibility is attributed to female survivors of sexual violence, and not to the males who enact it. Far too often, the denial and running leaves all parties at a great distance from the truth. There's definitely a public conversation happening now, and like a lot of people, we're heartened that there's less retreating from this position. I feel a real responsibility to add our voices to it.'
Tom and Thordis have even written a book about their experience. Entitled South of Forgiveness, it deals with the feelings of guilt, regret and forgiveness that the pair have experienced as a result of their story.
Far too often, the responsibility is attributed to female survivors of sexual violence, and not to the males who enact it.
But Thordis wants to make it clear that the intention behind the book is not to prescribe what they did as a formula for other rape victims or perpetrators to follow. 'Nobody has the right to tell anyone else how to handle their deepest pain or their greatest error,' he says.
Thordis and Tom finish their talk with a reminder: 'It's about time that we stop treating sexual violence as a women's issue. A majority of sexual violence against women and men is perpetrated by men. And yet their voices are sorely underrepresented in this discussion. But all of us are needed here. Just imagine all the suffering we could alleviate if we dared to face this issue together.'


I understand he needs help with fundamentals but he's physically weak. Right now, he'd get plowed over. I agree, we could have got him undrafted. Really scratching my head....like Danno said, except for the first pick, this draft is starting to smell like a bag of rotten crawfish heads. I hope they know what they are doing.
Excellent size. Can create a surge in the run game and seeks to finish blocks. Functional short-area, slide pass protector — sets, shuffles and punches. Good anchor strength. Plays hard and competes.
Plays very upright and heavy-legged — mechanics get stressed the further he travels. Tends to bend at the waist and will overextend and fall off blocks. Inconsistent technique — footwork needs refinement. Struggled to unlock his hips and appeared very upright in drills at the Combine. Weight has fluctuated in the past and pushed 400 pounds upon his arrival in the program. Character needs to be evaluated.
Big-bodied waist bender with the sheer size to cover up defenders in the run game and eventually compete for a starting job.
Halo and Euphoria like this.
One has to wonder if this pick would not have better use than a trade for Osi?
Uhhmmmmm...............OK. Not really earth shattering.
We couldn't have got him undrafted if someone else offered him more. The only way to be assured at getting a player you want is to draft them.
Never know until an offer is made.
I actually like the pick.
I think Ingram will do better with a better G in their who can run block better. Our OL does great pass blocking but we need to be able to run the ball better especially or short yardage.
Get some beefy guys to develop... I can live with it.
The thing about UDFA's is that they can go to any team they want to. If its your guy you go ahead and spend your late round picks on just to ensure you have first crack at them and see if they pan out.
