The male urethra is a crucial component of the male genitourinary system. Its function is not limited to just micturition, as it is also an essential portion of the male reproductive system.
The urethra is a dynamic fibromuscular tube which serves as the terminal region of both the male urinary and reproductive : Nathan Stoddard, Stephen W. Leslie. Fig. - The male urethra. The urethra contains small mucous glands opening on its surface - glands of Littre - and small pockets or recesses, called the lacunae of Morgagni, into which the glands of Littre sometimes empty.
The lacunae are mostly in three rows on the roof of the penile portion and open forward toward the meatus. Additional Physical Format: Online version: Otis, Fessenden N.

Couple touched by outpouring of sympathy after vandals wreck Hastings home
HASTINGS - When Sheila McCarthy came home from the hospital Nov. 3 and found that her home in Flagler Estates had been nearly destroyed by vandals, and most of her belongings were either ruined or gone altogether, she was nearly devastated.
But after beating death more than once, she said she isn't going to let this break her spirit.
"It was a shock, sure," McCarthy, 55, said. "And I was extremely disheartened. But you know what? I'm a survivor. I'm not sure how we're going to do it, but we're going to recover from this."
McCarthy and her husband, Ronald Mattice, had been away for months, first in Martha's Vineyard, Mass., where Mattice manages a campground over the summer, then to a Veterans Affairs hospital in Richmond, Va., where McCarthy received a liver transplant.
The back windows of their mobile home had been broken out, walls and floors ruined and their furniture had been urinated and defecated on, she said. Because of the broken windows, rain got in over several weeks, further damaging the home and bringing on a severe outbreak of black mold.
Looking through the rubble inside, McCarthy picked up one of her most treasured possessions, a painting done by her late father which depicts him shoveling the street in front of their home in Boston.
"They ruined so many of my things," she said. "Out of all the things I had in there, this was the one thing I cared the most about, and I was so relieved to find it intact and undamaged. My father painted this years ago, and it's very important to me. He painted it from a photo somebody took of him while he was shoveling, and it also shows the dog we had years ago."
McCarthy, a Boston-born and -bred U.S. Air Force veteran of the Vietnam era, looks healthy and vibrant today, but she has dealt with a series of medical problems in recent years that include cancer, liver disease, aneurysms and diabetes.
McCarthy said she and her husband were touched by the outpouring of sympathy expressed after a story about their situation ran in The St. Augustine Record and the Times-Union.
On Saturday afternoon, several people came out to help out. "We're just doing what we can," said Cheryl Donaldson, who brought her husband, Randy, and their children, Chuyenne, 14, and Cody, 12. "Nobody should have to deal with something like this."
The Donaldsons helped Mattice haul away trashed items, which included all of the ruined furniture inside the home.
Also chipping in were Anita Spears, a longtime friend, who brought her daughter, Tamara, and Tamara's boyfriend, Uriah Sharon.
Next to the mobile home is a family-sized tent, which is where the couple has been sleeping at night while the work goes on. Because the work could take months and winter is approaching, they plan to move into a 14-by-12-foot space in the adjacent utility shed.
With her recent health problems, McCarthy can't be inside the mobile home for too long, and when she does go in to work inside, she wears a mask and gloves.
Her husband just shakes his head when he looks at the damage.
"I just want to make a safe home for my wife," said Mattice as he assembled a pressure washer in the back yard. "She shouldn't even be going in there at all."
Mattice said he was grateful for the help they've received but admitted that the couple would need a lot more.
"So many people have reached out already, which makes this a lot easier," he said. "Working by ourselves, it would be very difficult to overcome this. Unfortunately, as I was dealing with the medical problems, we needed cash, so we had lowered our home insurance coverage. So we don't know how much of the damage is covered."
A relief fund has been established at Prosperity Bank to help the couple rebuild the home, McCarthy said.
"All my life, I gave to others in our community, only to have to resort to this," she said. "Sometimes, I feel so lost, but I will never give up. But people are really rallying, and the sense of community we have experienced so far has been unbelievable."

Bertha is Lily’s nemesis through the course of the novel. Her spite is most notable when she begins the rumor that her husband and Lily are more than friends. She does this to create a smokescreen to mask her own infidelities.
Carry is seen to make a form of living by helping newcomers gain entry into the elite of society. She is one of the few to remain friendly with Lily after she loses favor with Judy Trenor.
George is the hapless husband of Bertha and is for the most part blind to her indiscretions.
Gerty is the cousin of Selden and the epitome of selflessness. She works for charitable concerns and provides friendship for Lily when others desert her, and this is despite her jealousy when she realizes that Selden has feelings for Lily.
She is given the greatest share of Mrs Peniston’s will rather than Lily and it is clear that she is the more able at insinuating herself on this aged wealthy relative.
Gus Trenor claims to be able to make money for Lily by using her investments wisely on the stock market. It transpires, however, that he has used his own money and has given this to Lily in the expectation that she will become his ‘friend’. Once she discovers this indebtedness, she determines to pay back the $9,000 dollars despite her inability to do so.
This is Lily’s cousin and he becomes more respectable when he marries into the wealthy Van Osburgh family.
She is the wife of Gus and friend of Lily, but ostracizes Lily when she believes she has taken money from her husband when he speculates for her. She is described as being jealous of her husband’s money rather than him.
The novel begins with Selden spotting Lily at the train station and their friendship and love is a central concern of the novel. He is characterized by his desire to remain aloof from the shenanigans of high society as he attempts to observe from afar. Despite this preference for aloofness, he is also swayed by the opinion of others rather than the fact of Lily’s innocence.
As the main protagonist, Lily’s life among the social elite is described as is her final descent into poverty. She was raised to be ornamental rather than useful and like her mother she prefers luxury to dinginess.
Mrs Haffen is the ‘charwomen’ that Lily comes across at The Benedick and her aunt’s house. She sells Lily the letters from Bertha to Selden.
This is Lily’s unforgiving aunt. She changes her will in favor of Grace Stepney when she discovers Lily has been involved in some kind of scandal with the Dorsets.
Lily encounters Nettie towards the end of the novel. Nettie has been a recipient of Lily’s charity in the past and she shows her kindness in return.
Gryce is a wealthy but uninteresting young man that Lily half-heartedly attempts to entice into marriage.
Rosedale is despised by many in the elite set that Lily consorts with and it is made evident that this is at least in part because he is Jewish. As his fortune increases while others are hit by the downturn in the stock market, he is gradually welcomed by those in this highest circle.

Do you have a loved one who is addicted to drugs or alcohol? Inpatient treatment at The Bluffs can be a great opportunity for them to turn their life around. Our staff is committed to helping your loved one build a solid foundation for a drug-free life. There are numerous effective strategies you can implement within your lives to make this goal more attainable.
What Are The Signs And Symptoms Of Addiction?
Listed below are several examples of signs and symptoms a person might experience if they suffer from an addiction.
- Craving the substance?
- Showing signs of a tolerance?
- Using drugs or alcohol to avoid symptoms of withdrawal?
- Going to great lengths to find or use the substance?
- Neglecting activities they previously enjoyed?
- Losing sight of their relationships, job or education?
- Abusing substances to “feel better” or reduces stress?
- Continuing to use even though they know the damage it is causing?
- Acting secretive or lying?
- Unable to stop using even if they want to?
- Misusing their prescription or someone else’s?
- Exhibiting abnormal behaviors?
- Neglecting their self-care?
- Doing risky things while under the influence?
If you witness any of these seek help as soon as possible. Any combination of these and other signs could mean your loved one is struggling with addiction. [middle-callout]
What Strategies Are Available To Help A Loved One Get Treatment?
Overcome denial: Learning about addiction, treatment, and recovery can help you and your loved one to overcome this disabling mindset. Address any co-occurring disorders: Many people use substances as a means to cope with these mental health disorders which commonly accompany addiction. But if your loved one realizes that they can get help for these problems during rehab, they may be more open to discussing co-occurring disorder treatment.
- Research: Before you talk to your loved one:
- Read about the specific drug of use.
- Learn about different addiction treatment options.
- Find out about treatment
- Look at your finances and discover what your financial options are.
- Find out why relapse prevention plans are important.
- Look into aftercare support and programs.
Many addicted people feel overwhelmed by and out of touch from their life. Doing a little leg work for your loved can make treatment seem like a necessary and realistic goal.
- Create a plan: It’s important to mindfully create a solid treatment plan. If your loved one decides they want help, this can help them to more quickly get the care they need
- Stop enabling: When you enable your loved one, you are preventing them from experiencing the negative impact of their addiction. Though it might feel like you are making their life easier, in the long run these actions only make it harder.
- Create boundaries: Try to identify these situations and establish healthy boundaries with your loved one. While it may be hard to watch, experiencing these adverse effects firsthand will make your loved much more apt to accept their need for treatment.
- Don’t do it alone: The responsibility of getting your loved one into treatment shouldn’t rest on your shoulders alone. Reach out to other family members or friends to help.
- Contact a professional: It can be hard to process all this information. Let one of our treatment specialists help you. We can connect you to more resources, options and treatment plans which can make recovery more obtainable.
- Don’t wait for your loved one to ask for help: The more time that passes without help, the greater the risk to your loved one’s life, relationships, body, and brain. If you see a problem, reach out.
How Do I Help My Loved One Understand That They Have A Problem?
Keep Their Best Interests In Mind
While general information about addiction and treatment may be helpful, look at the whole picture and make it personal. This will help your loved one to better see how treatment can address the specific needs and struggles they face within their life.
Don’t Lecture Them
Listen and create a dialogue based on open-ended questions. Try not to project judgements or blame into the conversation. Sometimes the opportunity to talk it out can help a person to conclude on their own that they need treatment.
Avoid Criticism And Conflict
Be careful how you frame and communicate the negatives caused by their addiction. While it is important for your loved one to realize the dangers and impact of their addiction, you don’t want them to become overly defensive. If this happens they might shut down and not hear the important truths you have to share with to them.
Even when you approach them with patience and an open-heart, your family member may still feel like they don’t deserve your love or support. Reinforce the positive aspects of their life and their person. Remind them of what they’re fighting to reclaim.
Too much too soon may make your loved one feel hopeless and overwhelmed. You want them to feel capable and positive, not buried under a mountain of mistakes or what seem to be unobtainable goals.
Pledge To Support Them
Treatment and recovery can be a long and at times frightening road. Explain how you’ll be standing by during treatment and recovery to keep them accountable, positive and focused on a drug-free life. Don’t make these promises lightly.
Should I Consider An Intervention?
For some people, no matter how evident the dangers and destruction of their addiction is, giving up drugs or alcohol doesn’t seem like an option. In these circumstances an intervention could be the extra help that you need to get your loved one into treatment. We strongly recommend seeking the services of a professional interventionist. An interventionist is highly-trained to effectively communicate to your loved one that change is necessary. A good interventionist will also help you to design a treatment plan and may even escort your loved one to treatment.
What Do I Do If My Loved One Refuses Help?
Unfortunately, in some cases, a person will refuse help no matter how hard you try. The most important thing to do is to continue to integrate and maintain many of the tips we’ve suggested above. Try to stay optimistic, maintain hope and don’t blame yourself. If you appear to give up your loved one may be inclined to do the same. If you’ve outlined certain boundaries or changes which go into effect should they refuse help, you need to stick to them. Faced with the consequences of their addictive behaviors, treatment and recovery may more quickly surface as a realistic and necessary choice to your loved one.
We Can Help You Create A Treatment Plan Today
At The Bluffs our compassionate staff is committed to instilling hope and the desire for a sober life in all of our clients. We firmly believe that every person who comes to us for help is unique. For this reason, we custom-fit each treatment plant to our client’s specific needs. Our staff is standing by to offer you more resources on addiction, specific drugs of use, detox, treatment for co-occurring disorders and so much more.

Crime continues to spiral out of control in blue cities across the US.
And that has many parts of the US starting to feel like a hostile region in some third world country.
That was certainly the vibe some State Fair visitors got when they suddenly found themselves in a church parking lot war zone.
A food festival at the Washington State Fair drew a crowd of locals who left feeling lucky to be alive.
According to local news outlets, a dozen vehicles in a church parking lot ended up sprayed with bullets.
The church parking lot was evidently serving as overflow parking for people attending the food festival.
According to police, one innocent bystander—a woman in a yard across the street—was shot in the leg.
Another man told Seattle television station KOMO that he’s lucky he didn’t become another victim of the wild parking lot battle.
Seattle problems hitting other towns
Robert Ryding was one of the dozen drivers who came back to the parking lot to find bullet holes in their vehicles and he’s lucky his friend persuaded him to go to the event rather than stay in his car.
“She invited me to this food tasting thing that they have here. First time I’d heard about it. I was going to sit in the car and wait for her, but she persisted on me going inside,” he said. “If I would’ve sat out here any longer, one of us would’ve probably got hit by one of those things (bullets).”
Based on what he found in his vehicle, chances are he could have suffered a fatal injury.
“One hit the fender. It looks like one went through the window and hit the front windshield and bounced into the dash, so it’s probably stuck in the dash,” Ryding explained. “There was a piece on my center console, like a solid round, so I gave it to the officer.”
Not long ago, that type of scenario would have been unthinkable in all but the absolute worst sections of urban areas.
But criminal activity is flaring up all across the nation as police departments struggle with severe staffing shortages following the upheaval caused by 2020’s Black Lives Matter riots and the ensuing “Defund the Police” movement.
More law-abiding Americans seek training to protect themselves
As a result, an increasing number of Americans—especially women—are training themselves to use firearms for self-defense.
In fact, the Heritage Foundation compiled a list of news articles showing that over a two-week period this summer, more than a dozen women used firearms to protect themselves and their families.
No doubt, that trend is sure to continue as George-Soros backed District Attorneys continue to push pro-crime policies that embolden criminals and increase the chances of incidents like that wild church parking lot shootout.
Stay tuned to Blue State Blues for any updates to this ongoing story.

Afro Celt Sound System
Despite its initial impression, Afro Celt Sound System is not a nightmarish combination of "Riverdance," Deep Forest and Paul Simon's "Graceland." The eight-piece African-Irish collective proved it is more than a novelty act before a sparse but responsive crowd Wednesday at the 9:30 club.
For 90 minutes, the dance-club-ready Afro Celt Sound System mixed talking drums and tablas with uilleann pipes and tin whistles, building fiercely trancey grooves that traveled across the African continent and landed on the Irish isle. James McNally of the Pogues is the band's MVP, playing everything from keyboards to flutes to a bodhran drum. He was also responsible for setting the tone of Afro Celt's high-energy stage show and much of the band's corny play-acting; McNally would haltingly approach the percussionists and bob his head into their faces or play back-to-back, stadium-rock style, with the guitarist or the player of the kora (a large stringed instrument that sounds like a mixture of a harp and a lute).
The beautifully plaintive Gaelic-language ruminations of traditional Irish vocalist Iarla O'Lionaird also mixed surprisingly well with Afro Celt's happy-go-lucky world-beat electronica, making for a culture clash that was hard to resist.
Alexandra Mascolo-David is a splendid pianist--refined, searching and expressive, and her playing is loaded with insight and interpretive detail. Plus, for her recital Tuesday at the Corcoran Gallery of Art, she arrived with little-known musical gems on her program.
The concert was tied to the Corcoran exhibit "At the Edge: A Portuguese Futurist--Amadeo de Souza Cardoso." Mascolo-David connected the painter with a composer by opening with the "Petite Suite" by Antonio Fragoso, who, like his countryman and contemporary Souza Cardoso, lived in Paris, dabbled in modernist-art trends, and died young. Frangoso's wasn't an original voice, but he was fluid in an impressionistic style of gently rolling waves and foggy atmospherics. The last movement from the "Petite Suite" is a dance in three, which Mascolo-David built to a powerful climax; it seemed a glimpse into a more concrete and emotionally stable world.
That three-beat-per-measure lilt was Mascolo-David's segue to a world unfamiliar to most listeners, two sets of highly original, idiosyncratic waltzes by Francisco Mignone, a wildly productive Brazilian composer who died in 1986. The 10 waltzes on her program had an Italianate smooth lyricism coupled with hints of a Latin pulse, an improvisatory feel and wide tolerances for rubato. They ranged in mood from jittery (No. 11) and soothingly soft-focus (No. 12) to assertively sexy (No. 14, almost a habanera) and ebullient (No. 19). Mascolo-David has recorded a CD of Mignone's complete waltzes, due for release later this year, that should prove revelatory.
Small hands didn't hamper her steamy and nuanced reading of Janacek's Piano Sonata "From the Street." And for music by Chopin--the Berceuse, Op. 57, and several waltzes and etudes--she drew parallels with both Fragoso and Mignone, and the latter didn't suffer in comparison.
Most jazz Luddites wouldn't have expected that one of the most engaging hard bop ensembles to emerge in the late '90s would be led by keyboardist Chick Corea. Thursday night at the Kennedy Center, Corea and his formidable sextet, Origin, challenged all notions that he had sold his soul to the Devil when he became one of electric-fusion's heavyweights.
The ensemble boasted a bold, collective energy that recalls Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers, especially in terms of assimilating various strong soloists into a singular vision. Saxophonists Steve Wilson and Tim Garland and trombonist Steve Davis created a jolting three-horn foil that owed a heavy debt to Duke Ellington and Charles Mingus. Corea's percussive piano jabs were given additional rhythmic fire from drummer Jeff Ballard and bassist Avishai Cohen. The tension between the crackling rhythm section and elegant horn foil promoted some delightful conversations that justly demonstrated the group's exemplary communal spirit.
On Richard Rodgers's "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered," the ensemble transformed the haunting ballad into a musical roller coaster without destroying its inherent elegance. While Corea and Davis seduced the audience with swooning solos, Ballard's suspenseful rhythmic shifts, and the starting harmonies created by Wilson and Garland on clarinets. The playful cat and mouse exchanges among Corea, Ballard and Cohen were as thrilling as the rousing solos from each member.
Musically, Washington lives on the excellence of the diverse chamber music series around town, and the Freer Gallery of Art has one of the most consistently rewarding. It helps that its Meyer Auditorium is acoustically well suited for small groups, particularly string trios and quartets. Wednesday evening a string trio--violinist Lucy Stoltzman, violist Scott St. John and cellist Judith Serkin--opened a concert presented under the moniker the Guilford Ensemble, a group of six players who hold various professional day jobs and get together for chamber concerts.
The Guildford opened with Schubert's String Trio in B-flat. After the Schubert came Toru Takemitsu's "Distance" (1977) for oboe and an exotic instrument called a sho, what the program notes described as a type of Japanese mouth organ, normally containing 17 bamboo pipes. Each pipe contains a metal reed, tuned with a drop of wax. To eliminate dampness, which would keep the reed from speaking, it's traditional to warm the instrument over a small charcoal fire during the performance. After reading this tantalizing description, what a disappointment it was to hear, in its place, a common, dull-toned keyboard synthesizer. Oboist Rudolph Vrbsky and David Kane, on synthesizer, made the most of it, but since the electronic instrument emits such a deadened sound, it's impossible to imagine the magic a sho might have added to the piece.
And where the enigmatic "Distance" seemed to fit on the program after the soft-spoken Schubert, a Haydn piano trio (Hob. XV:23) followed the Takemitsu with a bit of discomfort to the senses. The wispy, impressionistic, lyrical but atonal sound world that Takemitsu created over eight minutes couldn't linger in our heads as we might have liked; it was abruptly shoved aside as soon as the trio's D minor key asserted itself. The trio (with sensitive pianist Cynthia Raim) was done with warm, straightforward playing, characterized by a comfortable, no-risks, no-mishaps approach. Ditto for the Piano Quartet in D, Op. 23, by Dvorak that followed intermission, even though the work has plenty of room in which the adventurous can roam.

Video Poker Strategy – Maximize Your Payouts!
Video poker can be an online casino game based around five card draw. It is basically played on an individual computer similar to a slot machine, however, it is played entirely on the web. This means that when you log into the game, your personal computer will be the one doing the playing for you personally. There are many types of players in video poker; therefore, you must learn how to play this game to reach your goals. There are many different forms of strategies found in video poker.
There are no cards in this five-card draw video poker game. However, you can use chips, which are generally worth one dollar each to play video poker against other players. The object of the game would be to win the pot, and since there are no cards involved, this can often be done without needing any strategy at all. If you are playing video poker against a person who doesn’t know how to play video poker, it is possible that they could beat you merely by luck.
So that you can play video poker, you need to understand how exactly to discus your hand quickly. Since you have no cards to start with, you must quickly find out whether or not you have the best potential for winning a pot or not. You do that by figuring out should you have hands that you may keep and hands that you ought to discard. Hands that you would like to keep can generally be looked at safer because you have less of a chance of getting dealt a bad hand. Discard cards can generally be discarded for free, but you will not be able to get as much money as you would have in the event that you had kept those cards.
To create things even more confusing, the person playing video poker against you will do the same thing. While you are doing all your five-card draw, your opponent will do the same, and that means you both have to work quickly to determine what kind of hand you should play. The more quickly you can determine which five-card hand you have, the higher off you will be in this video poker slot machine game.
You have several different choices for just how many cards you might have in a video poker hand. You can find three forms of poker hands: Royal Flush, Straight Flush, and Four of a sort. Royal flush, in particular, is among the most popular video poker hands around. Basically, your entire opponents 카지노 룰렛 are dealt a straight flush, four of a sort, or three of a kind. Since this is the most typical video poker hand, we shall start with it for the purposes of our discussion.
Because the name indicates, the Royal Flush is usually played as the winning submit a video poker slot machine game game. What makes this sort of winning hand so much fun to play may be the fact that there are a wide variety of odds in which it is possible to win. In a nutshell, the Royal Flush gives you the opportunity to win a lot of money.
In order to determine if you are playing the perfect game, you should check out the paytables. The parables tell you the house edge, which is the difference between the amount of cash that you would be able to win or lose before the house even pays out. In essence, they become a check book for the money. You want to ensure that you never bet from the money, or the house edge will eat away at your winnings. In a video poker game where the house makes money from your winnings, a small discrepancy in the parables can change the world of online gaming on its head.
When you are playing video poker at an online casino, you need to make sure that you understand how to maximize your probability of winning. One of the ways that you can do that is by knowing how to increase your payouts with slot machines. In a video poker game, jackpots of course are dependent upon the payouts that you get. There are two pairs in video poker that will have two payout tables, the high pair and the low pair. You may observe that there is a higher chance of winning a collection amount on the low payout table than there is on the high payout table, that is due to the house always making additional money from the low payout table.

Base Card Design -
When you open up the pack of Panini HoF you'll find a few all-foil cards. The cards are very shiny and depict players in the Baseball Hall of Fame. Each card is serial numbered and is adorned with both holofoil and standard foil. The overall design has a picture of the player within a plaque-like border with elegantly designed accents around it. Though the cards are not on the super-thick card stock like the Immaculate or National Treasures brands, these cards still have a very premium feel to them. Each card is limited to 75 or less copies. It's a very short-printed set!
The card backs give a good amount of information about the player and have an 'old feel' to them. The backs use a color scheme that harkens back to a card produced many years ago. So even though the foil fronts are very modern, the backs of these cards provide a more vintage feel. I personally like the dual nature that they invoke. Panini has done a nice job of blending both an older and a more modern sensibility into one card.
Base Card Design Score:
Each pack of HoF Baseball will contain a few limited base cards, a couple autographs, a smattering of inserts, and if you're lucky... a gemstone card!
Collectors that have enjoyed Donruss through the years will like the fact that Diamond King cards have been placed into this set. The Diamond Kings carry a similar design to the standard base cards in that the same plaque-like border is used. But that's where the similarities end. The Diamond Kings come on a matte cardstock that gives the card a painting-like feel. The Diamond Kings come in a variety of different color variations. My pack contained the standard white-bordered version shown above along with a red parallel numbered to 75 and a blue numbered to 50.
Crusade cards have also snuck into this HoF set. Crusade cards have been popular in Panini basketball and football products. They have a chrome look to them and come in a variety of colors. I guess the theme for this set is different parallels as there seems to be a parallel for every card! The Crusade cards have their fans, but to me they seem a little out of place in this set.
Elite Dominators are back. I really enjoyed these cards in Donruss Series 1 and 2 so I'm fine with them showing up here as well. They have the exact same design as the ones from Donruss earlier this year. I suppose it could be a challenge to try to find all the Elite Dominators that have been released by Panini this year. It would be a fabulous looking set.
The Elite Series also pops into HoF baseball. Like the Dominators, I like this set quite a bit because of nostalgic reasons. It was exciting to see Roberto Alomar depicted as a Blue Jay. I remember cheering on the Jays back in their World Series winning days.
The main draw of HoF Baseball has got to be the autographs you can find in the set. And Panini did these right. The autographed cards look amazing. They are simple, yet classy and classic looking. I love the HoF building used on the card. The elements of these autographed cards is perfectly done. I'm sure many collectors will enjoy these autos. They are done so well that I don't even miss the team logos.
Though there are on-card versions of the autographed cards like the Blyleven, some autographs do come on sticker like this red parallel numbered to 50 of Monte Irvin.
Some boxes of HoF baseball will contain a special gemstone card. I was lucky enough to find an emerald card in this box. The gemstone cards are very thick and come with dark black borders to highlight the stone. It's definitely a cool looking and sweet card to find in a pack. Gemstone cards have slowly been released more and more by Panini in recent years. So far they have been a hit to collectors. This particular card is the first time I've ever pulled on, and I have to say it was pretty special to get.
Overall Rating -
This Panini HoF Baseball product is a winner. How can you go wrong with a great looking set of Hall of Fame players? You can't! The cards have been well thought out and designed. Each box will cost a bit over a hundred dollars, but if you get a gem card, it is worth it.
I really enjoyed opening this product, and I would definitely consider trying to find more of these cards to add to my collection. Panini has got a good one here.

There’s been an awful lot of talk about marriage lately. First came Cardinal Keith O’Brien in the Daily Telegraph with his thundering tirade against gay people who had the temerity not only to be gay, but to commit to being gay. Then, on Sunday, came the news that the robustly heterosexual Bill Walker, septuagenerian Nationalist member of the Scottish Parliament, had beaten and abused three of his wives. And finally – the following day as fate would have it – Walker’s former colleague (Walker and the SNP having agreed a trial separation) Joan McAlpine sparked outrage by comparing the relationship between Scotland and England to an abusive marriage.
To the last matter first. Some commentators immediately called for McAlpine to apologise or resign for her comments. This kind of over-reaction is fast becoming wearisome. It was sheer happenstance that her column appeared the day after the news about Walker broke in the Sunday Herald – ordinarily a Monday column would be commissioned, and possibly produced, on the Friday beforehand. In the event of an emergency it can be changed, but the news about Walker wasn’t of that order. It was an embarrassing revelation about his past which the SNP wasted no time in dealing with: more interestingly, it marked the first time the Nationalist government has had to deal with this kind of personal scandal coming out of the woodwork. Fortunately for them the casualty was not a high-ranking party member, but it’s a mark of the SNP’s maturity that the Walker issue was dealt with swiftly and decisively.
What, then, of McAlpine, who is rated somewhat more highly? Her column was not a resignation matter. It is not offensive to the English – the complaint is directed at the system of government, not England’s inhabitants. At its heart, however, was a ham-fisted and cliched attempt to equate the current situation of Scotland with a battered wife. It’s not a good analogy – how many abused women enjoy any kind of ‘devolved’ existence, never mind an independent one? – and McAlpine more or less acknowledged this in her explanation. It was not about abusive relationships, but about unequal ones, was the defence. Entertainingly, she went on to deploy the old politician’s canard about being ‘quoted out of context’. Once upon a time McAlpine was the kind of journalist who would have poured a bucketload of scorn over that kind of weaselly language before setting fire to it.
When politicians want to revise their words, they usually do one of two things. If they are caught out on the general impression of what they said, they instruct you to examine the detail. If they are found out on the detail, they implore you to look at what Blair once memorably called ‘the totality’ of their utterances. Sadly, neither the detail nor the totality come to McAlpine’s aid here. The language attributed to the imaginary husband is plainly that of the bully – ‘how selfish and greedy she is to even suggest keeping it [the money] to herself!’ And her conclusion is that the relationship is an ‘abuse of power’. This is not, as McAlpine’s defenders protest, something different from an abusive relationship: it is the very mechanism which underpins all forms of marital abuse. The ‘domineering’ husband (and please do look that word up) beats, rapes and humiliates his wife as a way of asserting his total control over her. So the distinction fails.
When couples split up, as Scotland and England surely will eventually, it is customary for them to emphasise their differences while burying all the things that brought them together in the first place. The added complication in the union of the kingdoms is that it was never a love match, but a marriage of convenience. And for about 200 years, between the second Jacobite rebellion and the end of World War II, it was a highly convenient arrangement for both parties. But those days are not these. The empire, thankfully, is gone. The Clyde shipyards, the crucible of innovation during the Industrial Revolution, have been sacrificed. And the squandering of the first shot of oil wealth confirmed the suspicions that the ‘husband’ these days is more concerned with keeping up appearances at the golf club than attending to the strained relationship with his ‘wife’.
‘The forces that bind us together are stronger than those that would tear us apart,’ said Ed Miliband recently, though he neglected to elucidate what those forces were. To me it made the countries sound more like two hostages tied to a radiator than a couple in the full flush of marital bliss. The ‘stronger together’ cliche disintegrates as soon as it is exposed to the oxygen of reason.
And so we come, finally and grotesquely, to Cardinal Keith O’Brien, who seems determined to tear apart the bonds between members of his flock whose only desire is to make honest men of each other. (OK, it’s not their only desire, but for the cardinal’s sake let us pretend that it is.) Yes, there are lines in the Bible condemning homosexuality, just as there are decrees against wearing mixed fibres, trimming the corners of your beard, eating bats and eagles, and sitting on chairs vacated by menstruating women. But though my faith lapsed some decades ago, I clearly remember being told during my Anglican RE lessons that a cornerstone of Christian belief is that ‘God is love’, and that Jesus used the example of rescuing a donkey from a ditch on the Sabbath to illustrate that this core message trumped any individual edict or proscription. That’s the totality: for the detail, I shall take as my text the latest King James revision of 1 Corinthians: ‘Love suffers long, and is kind; love envies not; love vaunts not itself, is not puffed up.’ I hope the cardinal remembers St Paul the next time he feels like vaunting himself all over the columns of the Daily Telegraph. (Incidentally, I sat with a married lesbian couple at a wedding in the Netherlands recently, and I am sorry to report to Cardinal O’Brien that nothing immoral or degenerate happened at all).
One heartening thing about the gay marriage row was to see how the instinctive fear has evaporated from the issue over the last decade, allowing most people to discuss it rationally. It is tempting to suppose that the same process may be under way in the independence debate. It’s a simple matter when you boil it down. People who are in love should be free to get married. People whose marriages have broken down should be free to divorce. And two nations that were never in love exactly, but nevertheless enjoyed a couple of centuries of fruitful cohabitation in a common cause, ought to be grown-up enough to acknowledge that the marriage of convenience has passed its sell-by date. Let us dispense with the hollow, adversarial, amnesiac rhetoric, because what Scotland and England really need is the same thing that divorcing couples need: an agreement that liberates both parties.

Fidelity Bank has concluded plans to sell a significant stake in the company to private investors, as the Nneka Onyeali-Ikpe-led company is in need of capital to fund the financial institution’s operation.
The creditor is willing to sell 3.03 billion unissued shares of the company in a private placement, a document obtained by Ripples Nigeria, and dated September 30, revealed.

Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah has withdrawn himself from the Egypt squad for this week’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers after aggravating an ankle injury.
Salah aggravated the injury during Liverpool’s Premier League clash against Manchester City on Sunday, Goal.com reported.
The striker had gone onto score the side’s second goal against the defending champions, but he was later substituted in the 87th minute of the match.
Salah, then immediately joined the Egypt squad for the upcoming matches against Kenya and Comoros Islands. But after being assessed by the team physios, it was decided that the striker needed more time to allow the injury to heal properly.
Egypt’s medical team has also said that it is the same ankle injury which Salah sustained by Leicester City’s Hamza Choudhury at the beginning of last month.
At that time, scans had revealed that Salah avoided serious injury and as a result, he was able to return for Liverpool after missing just one match.
But after aggravating the injury again, Salah would return to Liverpool for further assessment.
Currently, the Reds have an eight-point lead at the top of the Premier League table. They were able to defeat defending champions Manchester City on Sunday.
They will next take on Crystal Palace in the tournament on Saturday, November 23.

text: On 3 April 1827 a service was held in Vienna’s Augustinerkirche to commemorate the death of Beethoven eight days earlier. This occasion, which included a performance of Mozart’s Requiem, presented an opportunity for the Viennese musician Ignaz von Seyfried (1776–1841) to provide a specially written ‘Libera me’, which was one of the Requiem Mass texts that Mozart did not set. Seyfried’s offering was perfectly suited to Mozart’s unfinished work: it is in the same key of D minor, is scored for similar SATB forces, and matches Mozart’s distinctive orchestral sonority. This ‘Libera me’ setting was widely used in nineteenth-century Vienna, both in its original version for voices and instruments, and for voices and organ alone. The present edition allows for both types of performance..

"Fame? We don't have any fame!"
That was the chuckled response of Davy Knowles, lead guitarist and singer of Back Door Slam, a precocious, young blues band with a fast-growing reputation. Drawing comparisons to Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan, they demonstrate a maturity and skill that belies their average age of 20 years.
| Back Door Slam by Adrian Cowin|
They hail from the Isle of Man, a Celtic island nestled between Ireland and England, and take their name from a funky Robert Cray track from 2003's Time Will Tell. Along with bassist Adam Jones and drummer Ross Doyle, Knowles is part of a trio of talented young musicians with a sound that suggests an altogether older band. Over the last few months they've been promoting their debut album Roll Away (released June 26 through Blix Street) with heavy touring across the United States and at home, including a gig supporting The Who.
Knowles is the undisputed star, backed by a solid rhythm section that underpins his fast, nasty licks. After a few years spent gigging, they're a tight unit that's gradually building a following.
"We're a live band more than a recording band. It's where we feel most comfortable, what we've been doing the longest," says Knowles. "All three of us have been gigging for a long time. It's where we are represented best and where we get the biggest kick."
"We all went to school together. I had been playing in bands since I was 14, always as a member of other people's bands but I wanted to have my own band. Ross, I knew was a jazz drummer, and I thought that was close enough! The original bassist left the band in order to attend university, and that's where Adam came in."
That might sound haphazard, where three friends got together to pursue the dream of being rock stars, but they've worked hard developing their sound and putting in the long, lonely miles on the road.
"Music has always been my focus, always my dream," offers Knowles. "So it was an incredibly easy decision. I've been fortunate enough to work with people who improved me and still do. I'm incredibly fortunate to be able to do this. A lot of kids ten times more talented than me don't get this chance, and it's sad."
| Davy Knowles - Back Door Slam|
By Adrian Cowin
This humility - and a fine sense of humor - shone through during our chat. Knowles is excited and is clearly enjoying the ride he's on. On more than one occasion he mentions being grateful for the opportunities he's had and this past "incredible year." On stage, he acknowledges applause with genuine, almost sheepish appreciation, delivered in a mumbled, English brogue. It's almost as if he struggles to grasp his situation and how he's gotten there, despite his obvious talents and the energy he's invested.
"I was lucky and launched into it straight out of school. We took a year off to get our head around things and see if we could do it. Me, Ross and the original bassist moved to England, moved in with our manager and toured for four months. After that things took off for us."
BDS has set out to do it the old school way, clocking up live gigs while slowly building a reputation and a core of fans. Unlike the many bands winning run-of-the-mill competitions and getting lucky on the web, it's nice to see a group busting their balls and getting success from having worked for it.
I first came across BDS while wandering the grounds at the Austin City Limits Music Festival. Liking what I heard I stopped to check out a song or two and ended up watching their entire set. They have an amazing, honest energy that grabs you upon first listen and refuses to let go. That day, in the unforgiving Texas heat, they jolted me from my lethargy better than any coffee hit. Their set-closer was a powerful, fresh version of Hendrix's "Red House" (a regular part of their live repertoire), which they rammed home in a way the man himself would have approved of.
Onstage, there's more than a hint of stated influence Rory Gallagher in Knowles' lightning fast fingers, and Hendrix is present in the unpretentious focus on his craft. Having said that, he's not the flashiest frontman around, lacking the panache of either Jimi or Gallagher. Instead he keeps it simple, letting his vocals do the talking and his fingers glide all over his strings. For such a young man, his vocals convey a surprising depth, emotionally vivid like Ten-era Eddie Vedder.

Mark Knopfler. Hearing the "Sultans of Swing" was a turning point for me. It was then that I decided I wanted to play guitar.
Besides, Rory Gallagher, he cites an eclectic mix of influences. "Mark Knopfler. Hearing the 'Sultans of Swing' was a turning point for me. It was then that I decided I wanted to play guitar," offers Knowles. "Also early Eric Clapton and John Mayall. He was a really aggressive guitar player, different to the style of Knopfler, who was very laidback. When I found Rory it was a huge thing for me. The guy had everything – the acoustic folk, the Celtic influence, the rock."
These influences are clearly heard on the band's debut. There in the classic blues longing of "Real Man" to more mellow, Clapton-esque acoustic numbers like "Too Good For Me" and "Roll Away." The album is predominately a demonstration of Knowles' songwriting abilities but a gritty, rollicking version of Blind Joe Reynolds' "Outside Woman Blues" is a standout - all wailing licks that spur you to dust off your air guitar and best frontman grimace.

However, it's not all down-and-dirty blues. Live, their sound is driven but the album suggests they're comfortable playing acoustic, too. "I love playing the acoustic guitar. It's such a pure instrument. What I like about it is that if you screw up everyone hears you. You can't hide behind distortion or effects," Knowles says.
Being a live band first and foremost, they struggled a bit to transfer their sound to the studio. "It's very difficult. We've done our best but there's definitely room to improve," says Knowles. "It's really hard, you've got to concentrate and try and get the same adrenaline buzz. A relaxed environment helps. The best thing is when we're confident and know what we are going to go in and do. It comes off best then."
Their sound appeals to older blues music enthusiasts, while their age should attract younger fans that may be unfamiliar with Stevie Ray Vaughan. "Absolutely, it's the nature of the music that older fans are drawn [to it]. It's the kind of thing they're into," comments Knowles. "We're lucky where we've been playing to quite a mixed, fantastically varied audience, but we have to be kind of careful not to lose the younger side."
His humility stems in large part from the impact the death of two friends in a car crash in 2004 had on him. The day we chatted would have been the 21st birthday of Brian Garvey, the original rhythm guitarist. In the aftermath of that tragedy he wrote the acoustic "Stay," an emotional, heartfelt tribute.
"It was horrible. It changes everything. They were two of my best friends. It's a very emotional song for me still. We've been playing it for three years and it has never lost its meaning. Ever," comments Knowles. "It made me grow up and realize that if I want do something I have to go ahead and do it. I've got to do it and work to do it because as quickly as it has come about it could all go. It has helped put things in perspective."

Music is often at its best when it offers us a comforting shoulder; a place to rest when life is mean and it seems no one is around for us. His ability to transmute his life, even at its hardest, into music shows Knowles understands this. "I'm still feeling my way, really," he says. "I've been playing guitar now for nine years, singing for four, but writing is still fairly new to me. I'm still trying to get better."
It's not all tough though, judging by the band's manner on stage, they're enjoying the journey.
"It's definitely good times. The novelty does wear off, being cooped up in a van, but it's good fun," offers Knowles. "I got to meet Steve Earle backstage at ACL. I was carrying my mandolin and he said to me, 'Is that a mandolin case, boy? Are you sure you want to play that? 'Cause you're never gonna be rich and you'll always be out of tune!'"
Knowles has many years of the grind ahead of him before he'll be considered a great but his talent and nature suggests it's just a matter of time before Knowles can quote Cray's lyric from the track that inspired their moniker: "And when I play guitar, they all know my name."
"We want to go on creating our own sound and gathering a fan base so that we can make a proper living," says Knowles. "That's what we're working towards."

Roads on the peninsula are generally high quality; road rules are basically the same as in Britain, with right-hand drive vehicles, and cars driving on the right. This makes car-hire in Malaysia a breeze compared with most other Asian countries, although roads can be rough on Borneo, where 4x4 jeeps are essential. Buses are an excellent and cheap option, as are boats and ferries which sail between the peninsula and offshore islands. As for trains, Peninsular Malaysia has a modern, comfortable and economical railway service that has basically two lines. One runs from Singapore to KL, then to Butterworth and on into Thailand. The other line, known as the Jungle Railway, cuts through the interior of Malaysia linking Gemas, Taman Negara with Kota Bharu, a transit town for Pulau Perhentian.

HPE Takes Aim At Nutanix With A 'Lower Cost,' More Capable Hyper-Converged Platform
Hewlett Packard Enterprise's hyper-converged offering has more capability, scalability and availability at a 25 to 30 percent lower cost than market leader Nutanix, according to a HPE executive.
"Our latest software release provides a lot of capability, better node support, better capability from a redundancy and high availability perspective, all at about a 25 to 30 percent lower cost [than Nutanix]," said Chuck Smith, vice president and general manager of HPE's data center and hybrid cloud group. "So we're focused on 'em, and we're coming at 'em."
HPE got into the hyper-converged market later than it would have liked from a platform perspective, Smith admitted Wednesday to the 275 attendees of the TechSelect 2016 Fall Partner Conference in Orlando. But now, Smith said HPE is the fastest-growing hyper-converged player in the market.
"Better capability, lower cost, better scalability, better availability from a platform perspective, all with the same ease of use which is kind of the customer experience that Nutanix was focusing on," Smith said. "And we're going to continue to invest here."
Nutanix did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The San Jose, California hyper-converged infrastructure developer has also enjoyed stratospheric growth, with sales climbing from $127.1 million two years ago to $241.4 million last year to $444.9 million in its most recent fiscal year, which ended July 31.
Nutanix had nearly 3,800 end-user customers of its hyper-converged infrastructure system as of July 31, including 310 global 2000 enterprises. And the company raised a higher-than-expected $238 million in an initial public offering (IPO) last month.
Smith, though, touted that HPE's hyper-converged offering is integrated into the company's well-respected management schema, which he said is highly valued by many of the Palo Alto, California company's customers. Smith told TechSelect members to watch for a software release in the next six to eight weeks, which he said will propel HPE even further in a variety of hyper-converged features.
"The push to integrate systems together and create a software stack that lands on commoditized or standardized hardware is driving a lot of our development and the competitive context that we have to deal with," Smith said.
Nutanix's analysis of its competitive environment listed HPE as one of the traditional IT systems vendors operating in an "intensely competitive enterprise infrastructure market," according to a S-1 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) last month.
DataVizion recently sold its first few hyper-converged deals through HPE, said Nick Patrick, vice president of sales for the Lincoln, Nebraska-based Tech Data partner. Patrick said DataVizion found it easy to discuss hyper-converged infrastructure with HPE, and was very pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to deploy the hyper-converged infrastructure.
"With the size of HPE and their background, I imagine they'll do well in the hyper-converged space," Patrick said.
HPE's commitment to achieving a best-in-class portfolio is reflected in its May launch of Hyper Converged 380, Smith said, which combines enterprise-class features and scalability with an easy-to-use software stack that allows virtual machines to be installed in just five clicks.
From there, Smith said HPE is evolving from hyper-converged to composable infrastructure based off its Synergy platform, which is a set of open APIs that leverage software intelligence to deploy workloads seamlessly in complex hybrid IT environments.
Plus, Smith said HPE can drop its Helion cloud system – a multivendor hybrid cloud orchestration, automation, monitoring and management platform - on top of that to deliver on-premises cloud capability supported by flexible capacity and data center care.
HPE's new organizational structure pairs its converged data center, Helion and essential software offerings into a Software-Defined and Cloud group. That group and HPE's Data Center Infrastructure Group will come together to form a Data Center and Hybrid Cloud group, which is being led by Smith in North America.
HPE is the world's largest provider of private cloud, servers, and total storage, Smith said, and second-largest provider of wired and wireless networking.
