Once considered a top prospect within the Orioles organization, Brandon Waring has taken a mighty fall. Waring was awarded the Carolina League MVP Award as a member of the Frederick Keys after posting a .874 OPS along with 26 home runs, but was unable to carry his Single-A success into Double-A. He struggled through th... |
Waring’s game revolves around his above-average power, which is his only above-average tool. His swing is very pull oriented, with most of his present power to left field. When Waring advanced from Daytona (A) to Frederick (A+), he was able to cut his strikeout rate, despite moving up a level, from 35% to 26%. He wasn’... |

Twilight: Breaking Dawn — Part 2 |
The sparkle is gone from this undead saga |
Published: November 16, 2012 |
But that's the last installment. Onward and downward! Without a romantic triangle or dangerous birth to fuel the melodrama, Breaking Dawn — Part 2 spins its wheels gathering together a United Nations ... or rather a Benetton ad of vampires who will help defend Bella's quickly maturing offspring from the power-hungry Vo... |
I nominate 57/08 pickups as the best pickups PRS has ever made, in fact they are the best humbucking pickup ever made by anyone (including vintage PAF). I've played guitar since the late 60's and have owned several vintage instruments along the way but nothing sounds as sweet as the 57/08's. |
The worst for me has been the HFS, I bought several PRSi in the 90's and ended up selling because I couldn't bond with the HFS + the five way rotary switch. The HFS was to hot and bright for my amps and when I would dial down the volume it seemed to get thin. I would be curious to know what pickup PRS has sold the most... |

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder announced that he will “work with states” to clarify the Department of Justice’s position on medical marijuana. This is what I’d like him to say… |
11. Marijuana is no longer a Schedule I drug. |
The Good News: Marijuana will finally be reclassified as having medical value. |
Bad News: Big Pharma doesn’t like to share… |
10. Everyone can grow! |
For states that have Medical Marijuana, patients will be allowed to grow six plants each. Why not? |
Most everyone is doing it already. That way, the Man (and Woman) can’t control our stash. |
9. Arizona, you have medical marijuana, get over it! |
It would be great if the highest attorney in the land, Eric Holder reaffirmed that if the highest voters passed medical |

Visiting China at what he called a “very important moment” for the U.S.-China relationship, Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta said Sept. 19 his meetings with key Chinese leaders here have been both substantive and productive. |
In a discussion with Chinese reporters and media representatives traveling with him, Panetta reviewed his meetings over two days with Chinese leaders including Vice President Xi Jinping, State Councilor Dai Bingguo, Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission Xu Caihou and Defense Minister Gen. Liang Guanglie. |
Key discussion points throughout the meetings, the secretary said, included territorial disputes, ballistic missile defense and North Korea, and cyber attack and intrusions. The overarching topic, he added, was the U.S.-China relationship in the context of |

To elaborate a bit further, you need to realize that Hebrew is a beautiful language (I speak from experience with fluency in 7 languages) in which words have multiple meanings, borrowed meanings and convergent meanings. Some single words in Hebrew require 8 or 9 words in English to be satisfactorally translated. |
The Hebrew AUDUM (I transliterate on purpose so you don't automatically think "Adam", the name of an individual, when you see that word) has three different meanings throughout the Bible and even in modern Hebrew. The word can be used to mean (1) human, humanity or humankind, as a species, (2) man, as opposed to female... |

The stock of Cambridge biopharmaceutical company Zalicus Inc. took a 33 percent dive on Monday after the company announced it’s stopping trials of Synavive, which it had hoped would improve on drugs now on the market to treat rheumatoid arthritis. |
The company reported Phase 2b clinical trials of the drug Monday, which showed that the drug candidate had better results than a placebo, but did not achieve a statistically significant improvement over prednisolone. |
“In the absence of a clinically meaningful benefit with Synavive compared to its active glucocorticoid component, Zalicus will discontinue further clinical development with Synavive. These results are not only disappointing to Zalicus, but also |

A long-talked-about project set to change St. Louis' skyline is now moving forward with a world-renowned architect at the drawing table. |
Not since the building of the Arch has St. Louis had as an iconoclastic project in the works as the designs for the Bottle District to be located just north of the Edward Jones Dome. That's the sentiment of the developers of the district since Daniel Libeskind agreed to design the $290 million project. |
New York City-based Libeskind has projects under way or completed around the globe. He is the architect of the Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco, the Grand Canal Performing Arts Centre and Galleria in Dublin, Ireland, and the redevelopment of the Fie |

A new 135mm f/2L IS would be a dream all right - albeit sharpness can take a slight hit, maybe a 135mm f/1.4L? Probably they can find a way to let in more light in a longer lens but the lens could look like a longer 85 1.2L and cost too much. |
135 f/1.4 - 135/1.4 = 96.4mm (105mm filter?) |
135 f/1.8 - 135/1.8 = 75mm (77mm or 82mm filter) |
135 f/2 - 135/2 = 67.5mm (72mm filter) |
A 135mm f/1.4 would put it in the same class as the 200mm f/2 (100mm objective) and 300mm f/2.8 (107mm objective) both in terms of size and weight. A suggested 135mm f/1.8 is definitely more reasonable in terms of size, weight and price. |
True, over the last three decades. Not quite as much over the last decade, and most of Canon's previous generation of lenses are within a decade old.The EF 24mm f/2.8, EF 28mm f/2.8, and |
