To prove that "Sony's Love for PS Vita is Not Fading," the Japanese tech giant's video game arm announced a lot of new titles coming soon for its Playstation Vita.
After being left out during the last two big conferences of Sony Playstation, PS Vita owners will finally be having early Christmas treat as a lot of new games will be coming. The best part is the hard to find RPG game, "Suidoken I" and "Suikoden II" is included on the list.
After Playstation Vita was not mentioned during the E3 2012 and GamesCom 2014 conferences, its users are not expecting anything new for the game console. But to their surprise, Sony's head of third party production, Gio Corsi, recently announced seven games that will be launched starting this week.
These seven titles include the "Suikoden" and "Suikoden II" that was launched yesterday in Playstation Network. This is surely good news for the fans of the Konami game as it is also the most requested of the PS Vita users. "Suikoden was originally released for the first PlayStation in 1995, so it's appropriate that the beloved RPG is making its way to another Sony platform almost 20 years later."
The two hard to find role playing games will be followed by "Towefall Ascension" and "Octodad: Dadliest Catch" which will both debut on PS Vita early next year. "The Banner Saga" is also coming next year alongside "Resident Evil Revelations 2," which is reportedly underway and slated for Spring 2015 launch.
"Super Time Force Ultra," which is also coming for Playstation Vita, will be launching with additional catch. The video game will have new exclusive characters for the new platform. This new character is Shuhei Yoshia who battles the "pixilated" fight across time.
Playstation Vita's upcoming new games also include "MLB The Show 15," "Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions," "Bastion," and "Shovel Knight" alongside "Broken Age The Complete Adventure" and "Day of the Tentacle." "Severed" has been the first game announced coming in PS Vita even before the grand announcement.

Chief Justice John Roberts has been on the receiving end of a wave of criticism from conservatives for upholding the fine in the Affordable Care Act for those who have no insurance, for deciding the fine fell within Congress’s powers to tax. Mike Huckabee was not among those against the Chief Justice this morning, however, instead attacking the Democrats for claiming the fine wasn’t a tax while the bill was being deliberated in the first place.
On this morning’s Fox & Friends, Huckabee noted that the fine “is a tax because the Supreme Court says so,” and that it affected not just “freeloaders,” but employers that must now pay for insurance for their workers. He then explained why it was a tax– something that many conservatives argued was not the case: “it is assessed out of your tax records… by the IRS.” He added that “they are now in shock because the Supreme Court confirmed what they already knew.”
The panel also asked Huckabee then about Mitt Romney‘s version of the act passed when he was governor of Massachusetts, but “that was Mitt Romney, that was Massachusetts, that was many years ago,” and “Mitt Romney promised America something very different.”

Past Thursday, October 24 2013, a press conference was called in a classroom of the University of Puerto Rico- Mayagüez to discuss the obstacles that the LGBTT community faces to obtain equity in Puerto Rico.
Other topics like how people have changed the way to express their sexual preferences has changed since when they were studying to present.
The panel was compound by the Psychology Professor, Bernadette Delgado; an Anthropology Professor, Dr. Rafael Boglio; Roberto Rivera, Gay-Straight Alliance spokesperson and Gaddiel Ruiz, a poet, activist and sub-graduate Hispanic Studies student.
Claudia Irizarry who was the interviewer, asked the panelists how gay-friendly they consider Puerto Rico; “Puerto Rico is a more gay-friendly territory, I don’t know if you have an idea but in Dominican Republic politics are traditionalist and they don’t have groups who support LGBTT community.” Roberto Rivera answered. “I differ in how gay-friendly we are.” Gaddiel Ruiz added.
When it comes to how much influence do the religious groups have over the legalization of gay marriage and same-sex partners adoption, they all agreed that the church is a powerful controller and mobilizer of masses. According to a Huffington Post article a group name Puerto Rico Pro Family assured that legalizing both issues is not negotiable because is an attempt to change puertoricans families moral values.
Also, Global Voices reported the case of Angeles Acosta and Carmen Milagros Vélez, a couple of lesbians that had their petition of adoption denied by the Supreme Court, who declared it unconstitutional. They even tried to penalize anal sex or “sodomy” in 2002.
On the counter part, LGBTT groups have been growing since the last four years, making the different political parties consider and support them; “Political parties are recognizing our importance.” Roberto said.
Topics as bullying, homoerotic poetry and equality rights were touched but when patriarchy questions were served, “We all end falling into the traditional patterns in the sexuality issue […] One of the reasons used to condemn homosexuals is that they cannot reproduce, but when I was about to marry nobody asked me if I was sterile or not, then why they use this as a reason?” Boglio said.
The traditional view of marriage changes through the perspective of same-sex partners because they swap and share the same gender roles. “I asked my students how many of them come from a traditional family and no more than 10 raised their hands in a group of 30.” Prof. Delgado added.
UPRM counts with an association named Gay-Straight Alliance which serves as support for those students who haven’t come out of the closet, victims of bullying, or as intermediary between a student and his/her parents to discuss sexual preferences with them.
Even though the “Colegio” had have another associations of this nature in the past years, they all ended disintegrated but this one in special is different because of the fact that they encourage the participation of the straight community in the LGBTT issues.
The conference ended with a question of one of the spectators about how people and schools should prevent bullying. To what Bernadette Delgado answer “The first thing to do is to inform and educate people about it.”

Toshiba Satellite P70-A-104
Average of 2 scores (from 2 reviews)
Reviews for the Toshiba Satellite P70-A-104
Premium Haswell. Full HD screen, Core i7 Haswell, GeForce GPU, Harman/Kardon sound system - appetizing. Can the Premium DTR deliver what it promises? Find out in the following review.
Source: Techradar Archive.org version
The Toshiba doesn't win any prizes for style or longevity: its design is a mix between classy aluminium and cheap-looking plastic, and battery life results were poor. Instead, this machine has a potent processor, a versatile specification and a high-quality screen and speakers. It's not cheap, but it's worth the investment if you prize power and practicality over the charms of lightweight, low-power Ultrabooks.

Toshiba have crafted the perfect machine for entertainment. The Toshiba Satellite P70-A-104 is a 17 inch behemoth, with a brilliant 1920 x 1080 glossy LCD display. The display can be a little bit darker than one might like, but overall it is gorgeous and this flaw is easy to overlook. It is perfect for a desktop replacement/home entertainment center. 3 kg weight and a short battery life make it less than ideal for portable use. It is a stretch to get over 3 hours of moderate use on one charge, but that is to be expected with a machine this powerful. With the 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7-4700MQ 4th generation Haswell processor and discrete nVidia GeForce GT 745M graphics, it is powerful enough to play the highest resolution video you can find, and run the most demanding games at above medium settings. Equipped with Harmon Kardon quad-speakers, bass a little weak, but the audio quality is extremely decent and the volume is surprising.
The Toshiba Satellite P70-A-104 runs Windows 8, which is one of the best options out there for an entertainment-centric machine. For Blu-ray enthusiasts, the Blu-ray drive will be a delight. Four USB 3.0 ports provide faster data transfer. The build quality is perhaps one of the biggest letdowns. The nondescript brushed aluminum body will flex and creak at points, and the seals along the side of the machine are less than attractive. To sum it all up, this is a great media machine with plenty of power at a decent price.
NVIDIA GeForce GT 745M: Mid-range graphics card of the GeForce GT 700M series. Based on the Kepler architecture and manufactured by TSMC in a 28nm process.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.
4700MQ: Haswell-based quad-core processor clocked at 2.4 GHz with Turbo Boost support up to 3.4 GHz. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 4600 GPU and a dual channel DDR3 memory controller.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
This large display size is used for laptops which are mainly intended for an use on a desk.
Large display-sizes allow higher resolutions. So, details like letters are bigger. On the other hand, the power consumption is lower with small screen diagonals and the devices are smaller, more lightweight and cheaper.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
In former years, this weight was representative for laptops with a 14-16 inch display-diagonal. Nowadays, 17 inch laptops weigh less than that.
Toshiba: Toshiba Corporation is a multinational conglomerate manufacturing company, headquartered in Japan. The company's main business is in Infrastructure, Consumer Products, and Electronic devices and components. Toshiba-made Semiconductors are among the Worldwide Top 20 Semiconductor Sales Leaders. Toshiba is one of the biggest international notebook-manufacturer. There exist many reviews for Toshiba models.
Toshiba is not present in the smartphone sector. As laptop manufacturer, Toshiba still had 6.6% of world market share in 2014. However it fell to only 1.6% in 2016, making only for the 8th place.
80.5%: This rating should be considered to be average. This is because the proportion of notebooks which have a higher rating is approximately equal to the proportion which have a lower rating.

Readers of this blog probably know that I am not the biggest fan of the BBC, in particular the way it is funded. However, I must give credit where credit is due and praise their most recent historical drama in association with HBO, The Passion. Unlike the film of a similar name, it was not gratuitously violent and concentrated on the theology and teachings of Christianity in an accessible manner. Purists may be unhappy with some of the editing of the words and happenings, but I found two things in particular made this interpretation praiseworthy. Firstly, it highlighted the difficult line the High Priest Caiaphas had to tread in ensuring the Jewish protectorate was true to its roots while keeping the occupying Romans happy. It is easy to criticise the High Priest in hindsight, as it is to criticise the modern state of Israel who I am not a huge fan of either, but the truth is nearly all leaders of the Jews in history have found themselves in the unenviable position of having to make difficult compromises between their ancient traditions and their contemporary situation in order to keep the peace. I was also particularly moved by the way the drama portrayed the way Jesus appeared to his disciples after the resurrection, outwardly different but recognisable by his teachings and actions. There are many right-wingers who claim the BBC is biased against Christianity, and while this may be arguable in its political coverage, shows like this and Songs of Praise demonstrate that this itself is a biased view.
However, just to prove quality public service broadcasting does not have to be paid for via a license fee, Channel 4 had another excellent documentary by the Midland's own Dr Robert Beckford, this time on the 12 disciples. He explored alternative histories of Jesus's closest followers to those often expounded by the traditional church, in particular my own tradition of Catholicism. For example, it is well known that St Thomas founded a Church in India that exists to this day, but the programme looked at how the Portuguese under direction of the Pope tried to suppress this ancient version of Christianity because it was not European based. It also looked at how St James was reinvented as a Spanish patriot to become a figurehead for the Christians in their fight against the Moors, and how women may well have been treated as equals in the early church. It is a loss for the West Midlands that Dr Beckford no longer works at the University of Birmingham, nor has a show on Radio WM, as I believe his rational documentaries based on emerging historical evidence are exactly what our religion needs to stand up to the irrational faith-based fundamentalist movements that are gaining so much traction in the current climate.

Jay-Z has proposed to long-term girlfriend, Beyoncé Knowles. The hip-hop singer popped the question during a romantic getaway to Cannes, and the “Bootylicious” singer said yes. The celebrity pair is now planning to marry in Hawaii in the fall.
Beyoncé revealed, “I want to get married and really want a family – in a perfect world I’d have two boys and a girl. You know someone loves you by the way he treats you and respects you. Me and Jay respect each other.”
Jay-Z flew to London on Sunday night to watch Beyoncé perform at Wembley on the latest leg of her U.K. tour. The 37-year-old hip-hop singer canceled his own promotional tour of his business empire Roc-A-Fella to surprise his 25-year-old fiancée.
Sources reveal Jay-Z promised Beyoncé “the biggest diamond she can fit on her finger.” A source said, “This will be the hip-hop wedding to end all hip-hop weddings.”

Tarlov cysts also called perineurial or sacral nerve root cysts are are dilations of the nerve root sheaths at the dorsal root ganglion. They manifest as abnormal sacs filled with cerebrospinal fluid. They are extradural but contain neural tissue.
It is a controversial topic whether they are a rare source of pain or often produce symptoms. The nonbelievers outweigh the believers.
Spinal meningeal cysts are diverticula of the spinal meningeal sac, nerve root sheath, or arachnoid. Tarlov cysts are the most common type of meningeal cysts. They lie extradurally, near the dorsal root ganglion, and contain nerve fibres.
|Tarlov Cyst||Meningeal Diverticula & Arachnoid Diverticula|
|Potential communication with spinal subarachnoid space||Communicates freely with spinal subarachnoid space|
|Found distal to the junction of posterior nerve root and dorsal root ganglion in sacral region||Found proximal to dorsal root ganglion throughout vertebral column|
|Walls contain nerve fibers||Walls lined by arachnoid mater with no signs of neural element|
|Often multiple, extending around the circumference of nerve root||No pattern of formation in regards to multiplicity|
Pathogenesis and Pathophysiology
They are thought to arise through increased hydrostatic and pulsatile pressures from the spinal canal that force CSF into the nerve root sheaths. The cause of increased hydrostatic pressure isn't known. Tarlov cysts can be communicating (non-valved) or valved.
Initially the cyst is communicating, i.e. there is a connection with the subarachnoid space of the spinal canal, the so called cyst neck. The nerve fibres of the dorsal root ganglion are int he neck and spread over the cyst body or through the cavity.
Is some cases the neck can narrow and a one-way valve system is created which allows CSF to enter the cyst but limits its exit. Here the pressure rises to a point higher inside the cyst than in the spinal canal, and axons can be more compressed than in communicating Tarlov cysts. Valved cysts are usually larger than non-valved cysts.
Pulsatile and hydrodynamic forces of CSF cause these cysts to fill and expand in size. They occur most frequently in the sacrum where the hydrostatic pressure is the highest. Pain is thought to arise through increased hydrostatic pressure causing internal pressure which irritates and compresses the axons inside the nerve roots.
In some patients Tarlov cysts are unnoticed as they become progressively larger and work as a buffer for excess hydrostatic pressure within the subarachnoid space. However when this buffer system decompensates or when a valve system is established it is thought that at this point patients may become symptomatic or more symptomatic.
They can be acquired or congenital.
- It can occur due to trauma causing haemorrhage into the subarachnoid space. The accumulation of red cells may impede the drainage of the veins in the perineurium and epineurium, leading to rupture with subsequent cyst formation.
- Congenitally it can be caused by arachnoidal proliferations within the root sleeve.
One study found small and/or large fibre neuropathy in a significant proportion of patients with Tarlov cysts.
They are seen in up to 4.6% of the population, and are more common in women. The prevalence was 13.2% in a cohort of patients who had MRI done for any reason.
They are more commonly seen in patients with heritable connective tissue disorders,  including Marfan syndrome, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, Sjogren syndrome, and Loeys-Dietz syndrome.
They are more prevalent in patients with perineal pain and persistent genital arousal disorder.
Most Tarlov cysts are thought to be asymptomatic. It is a controversial matter regarding the prevalence of symptomatic cases and what type of symptoms may occur. In some causes particularly with large cysts, neurological dysfunction and neuropathic pain can occur. However symptoms don't correlate very well with the size of the cyst.
Possible symptoms include pelvic or perineal pain (S2-S4), sphincter or sexual dysfunction, radicular pain or radiculopathy, and neurogenic claudication. Motor symptoms are less common because they primarily affect the dorsal root.
When changing from lying to sitting, CSF volume is shifted caudally. In patients with non-valved cysts pain increases when sitting or standing, and is relieved when lying down. However in patients with valved cysts there is no relief with lying down due to limitation of CSF outflow.
S2, S3, S4
Sensory: perineum, clitoris, penis, vagina, scrotum
Autonomic: detrusor muscle of the bladder, descending colon, transverse colon, rectum, internal urinary sphincter, internal anal sphincter
Motor: external urinary sphincter, external anal sphincter
Symptoms: The patient may have pelvic and perineal pain with paraesthesias. Vaginal pain can occur with dyspareunia. In men testicular, penile, or prostate pain can occur. Neurogenic bladder and bowel symptoms may be seen, as well as erectile dysfunction and female anorgasmia.
Sensory: perineum, posteromedial side of the legs, plantar region of the feet
Motor: intrinsic foot muscles
Symptoms: There may be atrophy of the intrinsic foot muscles due to compression of nerve root S2.
L5 and S1
Sensory: posterior side of the legs (S1), lateral side of the leg, first and fifth toe (L5), dorsal side of the feet
Motor: gluteus maximus muscle and calf muscles (S1), gluteus medius muscle and extensor muscles of the feet and toes (L5)
Symptoms: There may be lumbar, sacral, buttock, and lateral hip pain along with pain and/or paraesthesias in the legs and feet. Leg weakness can occur along with neurogenic claudication. There may be weakness of dorsiflexion of the foot and rarely foot drop for L5, and weakness of plantar flexion for S1.
L1 to L4
Paraesthesias and pain in the legs, weakness of the knee or hip extension
|Tarlov cysts||Valved cysts||Non-valved cysts|
|Size||Commonly >10mm||Commonly smaller|
|Onset of symptoms||Long pain-free interval||Onset early in life|
|Mean age of onset of symptoms||+/- 5th decade||+/- 2nd to 3rd decade|
|Evolution||Rapid progression||Slow progression|
|Sensory symptoms (pain and paraesthesia/numbness)||Commonly||Commonly|
|Motor symptoms (muscle weakness)||Commonly||Occasionally|
|Cauda equina syndrome||Acute||Chronic|
|Reported in the literature||Commonly||Rarely|
|Clinical appearance||Easily diagnosed||Commonly overlooked|
|Surgical intervention||May be recommended in cases of severe pain or motor dysfunction||Probably not effective|
MRI is the imaging study of choice. They are most commonly seen in the lower lumbar spine and sacrum, however they can occur elsewhere in the spine.
They appear as very thin-walled CSF intensity (T1 low signal, T2 high signal) cystic structures that are closely related to the sacral and lower lumbar nerves. The sacral foramina may be widened. Morphology varies from a simple rounded cyst to a more complex loculated cystic mass.
Differentials on imaging include dural ectasia, spinal synovial cyst, meningocele, nerve sheath tumour, and spinal metastases.
On plain films there may be bony erosion of the spinal canal or of the sacral foramina
Hulens and colleagues propose considering the following when determining if the cyst is symptomatic
- Consider in patients with cysts on MRI with low back pain or radicular pain with no other obvious cause
- Sensory abnormalities, weakness, or hyporeflexia consistent with the location of the cyst
- Urodynamic testing showing early sensation of filling, detrusor contractions, urethral instability, stress incontinence.
- Electrophysiology (particularly L5 and sacral) showing delayed F waves, delayed S1 H-reflexes, delayed ano-anal reflexes, and neurogenic abnormalities during EMG
- Improved symptoms with lumbar puncture
There is no consensus on the optimal treatment of symptomatic sacral perineural cysts. The following categories of treatment are all controversial.
Using acetazolamide to reduce CSF pressure and therefore reduce the hydrostatic pressure in the cyst has been used.
Aspiration can be done under CT guidance using a two-needle technique. Fibrin can be injected to try seal the cyst. Complications include cyst recurrence, CSF leak, infection, and persistent procedural pain.
To reduce hydrostatic pressure.
There are various surgical approaches including microfenestration and surgical sleeving of the cysts, +/- biosynthetic dural patch, +/- muscle patch. Cyst excision results in irreversible neural damage.

An Improvised Landscape of Sound
Skou-Due / Dahl is a duo consisting of Norwegian-based Danish artists Oliver Skou-Due and Amalie Dahl.
The musicians have both been living in Trondheim and got to know each other in the fall of 2021 when they began playing together in the Scandinavian hyper jazz band SUPERSPREDER. However, this is their first time on stage together as a duo.
Their music is a clear extension of the Norwegian free improv scene, which they have both helped shape over the last few years. The music is improvised and humbly shapes a landscape of sound that the listener can enter and leave at will.
The music strives to break down the expectations of oneself and the listener to jointly create a safe space where immediate impulses are very much welcome.
The concert is presented by the music collective OKTOsounds in connection with their two-day residency at A-huset, Institut for (X) July 11-12.
ACH! - Kresten Osgood, Frederik Vuust, Cesa Joaniquet will play on the same evening at 7.00 pm.

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- With Matt Lindstrom throwing one inning against the Cubs on Friday, the White Sox have their entire relief corps healthy and throwing for the first time since the start of Spring Training. That delay, in part, has prevented the White Sox from naming a closer to replace Addison Reed.
"Heck, we just finally got Lindstrom in a game the other day," White Sox pitching coach Don Cooper said. "I think in a week from now, after we continue to run everybody out and get Lindstrom going a little bit more, that's a question we might be able to talk about more."
"We've had a lot of guys who have either shown up a little late or were hurt but we still have a ways to go before we do that," said White Sox manager Robin Ventura, who answered, "No, I really don't," when asked if he knew his closer. "We have guys who are capable of doing it. Just to name one right now would be premature."
Nate Jones, who battled through a left glute strain at the start of camp, has made five scoreless Cactus League appearances covering five innings. The right-hander figures to be the favorite to move from the setup role to the ninth inning.
While closer officially is being decided, the White Sox also have to make the call on their final two relievers behind Jones, Lindstrom, Scott Downs, Ronald Belisario and Donnie Veal. Maikel Cleto, who is out of options, seems to have an edge on one, with Mitchell Boggs, Daniel Webb and Jake Petricka among the names for the seventh.
Boggs has a 12.79 ERA over seven games, but the White Sox certainly aren't basing a judgment on a capable veteran solely on Cactus League action.
"You can't base it totally on numbers here in Spring Training," said Ventura, speaking more in generalities then about one particular player. "There is what guys historically do in their career, what you're counting on, so there is a combination of what you see down here in Spring Training and what they've done in their past."

The term payroll means salary paid to an employee. However, it also includes other factors like bonus, tax deductions, overtime pay etc. Payroll, is also used to denote the payment, made for every hour of work, that the employee has put in. Every company’s payroll department has two primary functions. The first is to see that every single person employed is paid on time. The second is to calculate deductions during the final payment. These deductions will include local tax, unpaid leaves as well as any other deduction from the final amount. A software system which manages a company’s salary disbursement is called a payroll calculator. Payroll calculators are crucial in today’s environment. They help with record keeping as well as calculating the salary earned by each employee. The main reason that they are used is the simplicity of it all. Payroll calculators help to manage the entire process while saving time and reducing the workload. There are many types of payroll calculators on the market, it is important to understand what your company’s unique payroll requirements are and which payroll software program is designed to fulfill those needs.
All payroll software programs come integrated with tax calculations and other local financial rules. This ensures that companies do not have to waste time with all the calculations at their end. Payroll calculators do not need a lot of input. Since most software comes with predefined inputs, you will have to enter basic details like salary breakup, date of joining and the number of hours worked. This helps companies save on time and costs. It also helps the staff to eliminate any human errors. An ideal payroll calculator is one that provides you with detailed reports. The best payroll calculators generate and store records. Thus you can use the software to generate an annual report as well as old salary slips for any employee. You can also use the software to store leave records, number of hours worked, number of days worked and the actual time spent in office. You can also use payroll calculators to analyze and calculate the impact of salary and overtime on your business. When making a purchase, there are a number of factors to consider. The first is the actual product. As the vendor a few questions like -Does the product match your requirements?
How easy is the product to use ? Etc. The next is the help provided by the vendor. Does the vendor provide training? Does the vendor provide any technical help ? The answers to these questions will help make your decisions easier. Today, payroll calculators are used all over the world. With the advent of technology, the software provides a huge amount of automation. We have only listed the basic functions of a payroll calculator. Once you start looking around, you will be amazed by their versatility. There is a number of payroll software available on the market. It would make sense and be wise to stick with the most trusted and popular systems.

The fewer the words you use to express a thought the more likely you are to nail it, — Michael Lipsey
"And at the end of the day, your feet should be dirty, your hair messy and your eyes sparkling."
The true liberation of eroticism lies in accepting the fact that there are a million facets to it, a million forms of eroticism, a million objects of it, situations, atmospheres, and variations.
We have, first of all, to dispense with guilt concerning its expansion, then remain open to it’s surprises, varied expressions, and (to add my personal formula for the full enjoyment of it) fuse it with individual love and passion for a particular human being, mingle it with dreams, fantasies, and emotion for it to attain its highest potency.
"In order to change skins, evolve into new cycles, I feel one has to learn to discard. If one changes internally, one should not continue to live with the same objects. They reflect one’s mind and psyche of yesterday. I throw away what has no dynamic, living use. I keep nothing to remind me of the passage of time, deterioration, loss, shriveling."
"Behind every word a whole world is hidden that must be imagined. Actually, every word has a great burden of memories, not only just of one person but of all mankind. Take a word such as bread, or war; take a word such as chair, or bed or Heaven. Behind every word is a whole world. I’m afraid that most people use words as something to throw away without sensing the burden that lies in a word."
Heinrich Böll, The Paris Review, spring 1983 (via re-miks
"The whole concept of originality is now … officially dead. You don’t meet new ideas and new characters."

Berhampur, September 10 (LocalWire): Citizens forum in Kandhamal have stepped up the demand for a government medical college and hospital at the district headquarter town Phulbani.
The locals also formed the United Citizen’s Forum to mount pressure on the government and submitted a memorandum to the chief minister Naveen Patnaik through the Kandhamal district collector on Tuesday.
The memorandum, which has been signed by several people, stressed that residents of the tribal-dominated district along with those in the three adjoining districts, including Boudh, Sonepur, and Nayagarh have been “debarred” from availing quality health care services since there is no government-owned medical college and hospital in the district.
Led by the convener Ashok Parida, the citizen’s forum also indicated that they would be forced to launch an agitation if the government did not fulfill their demand soon.
Patients from Kandhamal either go to SCB Medical College and Hospital in Cuttack or MKCG Medical College and Hospital in Berhampur, about 250 km and 175-km, respectively from Phulbani.
The demand for a government hospital has gained momentum in the wake of the announcement by the central government to set up 75 new medical colleges across India in the next three years and to add at least 15,700 MBBS seats in the country.
The new colleges will be set up in under-served areas having no medical colleges.
Also, the colleges will be set up in cities that have a district hospital with a minimum of 200 beds.

Earlier today President Trump hosted New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy in the Oval Office to discuss the latest COVID-19 mitigation efforts. President Trump and Governor Murphy take questions from the press pool:
The Department of Labor released their weekly report showing first-time filings for unemployment insurance hit 3.84 million last week. Though the worst appears to be in the past, the total number of claims in the past six weeks now exceeds 30 million.
The surge in unemployment claims is an outcome of decisions to shut-down the U.S. economy to control the coronavirus spread. Some states and local regions have recently started to bring their respective economies back online; however, most of the key U.S. infrastructure remains on lockdown.

Loved and admired WPCs Fiona Bone, 32, and Nicola Hughes, 23, thought they were attending a routine call-out to a home burglary and pulled up in their patrol car to help.
Just hours earlier WPC Bone was happily talking to her partner on the phone about plans for their wedding while “chatterbox” WPC Hughes had been joking with colleagues at Greater Manchester Police.
Today, police and colleagues mourned the loss of the two brave policewomen and fell silent to remember the women with a minute's silence.
Neither policewoman knew that a man had earlier dialled 999 with a false burglary report and was in fact luring them into a coldblooded ambush.
Police, last night said they believed one of Britain’s most dangerous fugitives – Dale Cregan – or one of his accomplices may have called.
I’m going to look beyond the uniform here. What we’ve got are two young girls that went out this morning and they’ve got an absolute right to come home tonight to their loved ones. This is cold-blooded murder
Greater Manchester Chief Constable Sir Peter Fahy said: “It would appear Cregan has deliberately done this in an act of cold-blooded murder and motive is impossible to fathom.”
Shortly after the attack, one-eyed Cregan, 29, who was already wanted in connection with separate gun and grenade attacks that killed father and son David, 46, and Mark Short, 23, in May and August gave himself up to police in nearby Hyde.
A £50,000 reward had been offered for information leading to his arrest.
In an emotion-charged press conference, the Chief Constable had to take a breath to regain composure as he accused Cregan of “ambushing” his officers.
He told how they had got out of their car at 11am on the quiet cul-de-sac, Abbey Gardens in Hattersley, Greater Manchester. He said it was routine to send unarmed officers to a burglary call.
“We believe that Dale Cregan was in a house in Abbey Gardens overnight, and at some point this morning has either himself made a call or had somebody else make a call reporting a burglary,” Sir Peter said.
“This particular address was not known to us. So, as would be routine, two unarmed officers were sent to the scene. When they arrived it appears that Cregan emerged into the road and killed these two officers. A firearm was used, a grenade was also used.”
He added: “We believe the grenade was thrown at the officers but we have not been able to be specific about the injuries the officers suffered or how they died.”
He believed Cregan was “protected by a criminal conspiracy to harbour him”.
WPC Bone was shot and died instantly while WPC Hughes was left with fatal injuries, dying in hospital.
An ambulance left – with the body of WPC Bone believed to be inside – as officers formed a guard of honour.
Her father Paul said last night: "Bring back hanging. Let policemen shoot people on sight. I am so completely shocked. She was such a lovely girl. I can't even bring myself to think about the wedding."
Grief-stricken Ian Hanson, a friend of WPC Bone, and the chairman of the Greater Manchester Police Federation, said the force was “a family” and dubbed the killings “the slaughter of the innocents”.
He added: “I’m going to look beyond the uniform here. What we’ve got are two young girls that went out this morning and they’ve got an absolute right to come home tonight to their loved ones. This is cold-blooded murder.”
Sombre Sir Peter said: “Clearly we are devastated today by the loss of two of our officers. This is one of the darkest days in the history of the Greater Manchester Police if not for the police service overall, because we have lost two deeply loved and valued colleagues.”
He paid tribute to Miss Hughes, a police officer for three years, describing her as a “chatterbox” and a “great bobby”.
He said: “Nicola enjoyed karate. She was very bubbly and loved life and socialising. She was always smiling, even at a night shift when everybody was a bit grumpy.” He said Miss Bone was a “calm, gentle woman”, an “excellent bobby” and had been in the middle of planning her wedding, remarking: “When she first joined the shift she was quite quiet and reserved, however, she came out of her shell and had a great sense of humour.
“She had five years on the Force and was so happy with her partner – and they were in the middle of planning her wedding. Her partner only spoke to her this morning about the wedding invites.”
Last night Cregan and another man and a woman were all helping police with the double murder inquiry.
Sir Peter said he was not aware that Cregan had contacted police at any time during their manhunt.
Yesterday’s outrage immediately prompted vigorous and renewed calls for the routine arming of police.
But Sir Peter said his force believed “passionately” that police should remain unarmed. He said: “We are passionate that the British style of policing is routinely unarmed policing.
“Sadly we know from the experience in America and other countries that having armed officers certainly does not mean, sadly, that police officers do not end up getting shot.”
Prime Minister David Cameron said that the killings were “a shocking reminder of the debt we owe to those who put themselves in danger to keep us safe and secure”.
Home Secretary Theresa May said: “This is a deeply shocking incident and a terrible reminder of the risks that police face every day to keep our communities safe.”

The head of the Russian federal space agency Roscosmos published a lengthy op-ed expressing mixed feelings about the recent SpaceX Demo-2 launch to the International Space Station (ISS).
Dmitry Rogozin's op-ed, which is available on the Rocosmos website and was previously published in Forbes, points toward Russia's future plans in space as the United States moves most of its crewed opportunities back to American soil.
Demo-2 is the first of what will likely be many American crewed commercial spaceflights. Flights by SpaceX's Crew Dragon capsule and, eventually, Boeing's Starliner spacecraft should largely replace the Russian Soyuz missions that NASA astronauts have relied upon since the space shuttle's retirement in 2011.
In 2014, Rogozin tweeted out a memorable remark, saying that, as Russians faced U.S. sanctions related to Russian actions in Crimea, American astronauts could use a trampoline to reach space instead of the Soyuz.
Shortly after Demo-2's May 30 launch, SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk referenced this barb, saying "The trampoline is working!" Rogozin initially said on Twitter that he loved Musk's joke and looks forward to further cooperation. But the new op-ed shows that Rogozin had more to share about the way astronauts are launched to space and the framework of international space cooperation.
The Russians were asked to step in with Soyuz seats for astronauts, Rogozin said, because the space shuttle program was closed down "as the result of its immense costliness and unforgivable failure rate."
Each NASA space shuttle orbiter used to carry as many as eight people at a time, although seven was a more typical crew capacity. The Russian Soyuz spacecraft has a capacity of three people.
The space shuttle program flew 135 missions between 1981 and 2011. Two of those missions ended in tragedy: The shuttle Challenger exploded shortly after liftoff in January 1986, and Columbia broke apart during re-entry in February 2003. Each tragedy killed seven astronauts.
The Soviet Union (a predecessor entity to Russia) lost four cosmonauts across two Soyuz mission failures in 1967 and 1971. While the Russians have had no spaceflight fatalities since then, there have been aborts.
Most recently, a Russian Soyuz spacecraft experienced an abort in October 2018, after which the two crewmembers, NASA astronaut Nick Hague and cosmonaut Alexey Ovchinin, walked away with no serious injuries. Following an investigation, addressing the problem and several uncrewed rocket flights to test the fix, the ISS coalition decided to proceed with the next crewed Soyuz launch, which went off without a hitch in December 2018.
"In crewed spaceflights, with people going into space aboard the vehicles, reliability is key to evaluate these technical means ensuring safety of the crews," Rogozin wrote in the op-ed. "Thus, the closure [of the space shuttle] came as a predictable and forced measure, as the Americans lost as many as two crews. Disasters and emergencies have already occurred in crewed cosmonautics, but none of them took this many lives at once."
The Russian Soyuz MS spacecraft that carries crews today, Rogozin said, is the "world's most reliable spacecraft" with 173 successful flights, and three aborts in 1975, 1983 and 2018 that allowed the crews to eject safely. The Soyuz rocket that carries the spacecraft overall has more than 1,900 successful launches, he added. "The U.S. engineers have yet to earn this reputation. I sincerely wish them luck," he said.
Rogozin said that NASA was "hectically searching for a solution" to replacing the space shuttle, a process that ultimately took about 17 years after the fatal Columbia accident in 2003. In 2004, the administration of President George W. Bush announced that the shuttles would be retired.
Commercial crew replacements began taking shape under the administration of President Barack Obama, with SpaceX and Boeing receiving spacecraft build contracts in 2014 after several competitive rounds involving other companies. The first launch of a crewed commercial vehicle was delayed by several years due to technical and funding issues, but ultimately happened with Demo-2 on May 30 of this year.
Simultaneous to commercial crew, NASA began to sketch out plans to move farther out into the solar system once again. NASA began developing the deep-space Orion crew capsule, in partnership with prime contractor Lockheed Martin, during the Bush-era Constellation program.
Orion has continued development into the present day, even though NASA's exploration focus shifted a few times under other administrations — from a moon-to-Mars Constellation program (Bush) to a "flexible destination" somewhere in deep space (Obama) to a moon-focused Artemis program (Trump). Orion made a successful uncrewed test flight in 2014 around Earth and is expected to launch on a (much-delayed) uncrewed trip around the moon and back no earlier than 2021. This moon mission will mark the debut of NASA's Space Launch System megarocket, which is also key to NASA's deep-space plans.
"Colossal funds were allocated to create three crewed spacecraft at once with the order distributed among several companies: Lockheed Martin (Orion moon spacecraft), SpaceX (Crew Dragon) and Boeing (Starliner)," Rogozin wrote.
He further added that the "generosity" of the U.S. government allowed SpaceX to receive a launch pad from NASA "at no expense," as well as a contract to build Crew Dragon and "NASA-paid scientific and technological groundwork and best engineering talents."
NBC News reported in 2014, however, that SpaceX would be responsible for the costs of maintaining and operating historic Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The story did not disclose contract amounts, nor say what other costs were associated with the 20-year lease agreement between NASA and SpaceX.
The 2014 contract that SpaceX received from NASA to build Crew Dragon was valued at $2.6 billion, and the contract was awarded following other development contracts between SpaceX and NASA.
Rogozin drew a few parallels between Crew Dragon and the costs of large programs in Russia, including a future lunar spacecraft and the relatively new Vostochny Cosmodrome that could eventually be used to launch Russian cosmonauts (who today launch from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.)
"The budget funds allocated to Elon Musk are three times bigger than the funding of the contract between Roscosmos and RSC Energia to develop a much more complex Russian lunar 'Oryol' spacecraft (Eagle)," Rogozin wrote.
"By the way, the Vostochny Cosmodrome costs 2.5 times cheaper than this purportedly private spacecraft – taking into account that the cosmodrome is being built in the Amur Taiga, [an] 8-hour-flight away from Moscow with no necessary workforce, nor construction machinery or logistic centers — all of that we had to bring or create there in the far east [of Russia]."
Rogozin continued with his reasoning about why Demo-2 had proved so popular among Americans. Hardly anyone attended the launch in person due to novel coronavirus-related quarantine restrictions, but the event was noted as NASA's most popular live event online.
The Roscosmos head said the Americans were "pretty anxious about the fact that they were fully dependent on the reliability of the Russian Soyuz" during the nine years it has ferried NASA astronauts into orbit. He said the launches happened "in full and with quality."
He added that the Russians kept the human space program going for all space station partners, while cutting Russian crews and experiments for the sake of the international partnership (presumably, to allow Americans and those using the American segment, such as Europeans, to take seats in the Soyuz.) "The Americans did not have to use the trampoline, as in my metaphor that got wind — we continued delivering their astronauts into space," Rogozin said.
Rogozin did not mention the Soyuz spacecraft found to have an air leak in orbit in 2018, although he did allude to the crew abort. He said the Russians were subject to mockery after the abort, and were not acknowledged for their role in keeping the space program going.
Rogozin also did not discuss the reliability of Russian Progress cargo ships to the space station that deliver vital supplies for astronauts. Several Progress missions failed during the last decade, and questions have been raised about the reliability of Russian Soyuz rockets as a result.
There also was an allusion to the cost of Soyuz seats, a tricky matter between NASA and Congress for years. Rogozin framed the cost per crew member seat as "honest money," a cost that continued to rise during the decade that NASA relied upon these seats to send people into space. The current cost for a Soyuz seat is estimated at $90 million, while a Crew Dragon seat is around $55 million, Rogozin said. But he said he still feels the Soyuz is a better deal.
"The new American spacecraft are more than double the weight of a Soyuz while offering only one additional seat," Rogozin said. He added that the size of the rockets needed to launch Crew Dragon (a SpaceX Falcon 9) or a Starliner (a United Launch Alliance Atlas V) are much heavier than what is required for Soyuz, which uses a medium-class Soyuz-2.1a rocket. He argued that on that comparison, Russian launches remain cheaper than American launches.
"The sirs seem to confuse launch cost price and launch service price that is formed by the market," Rogozin said. "Hence, I insist that Soyuz MS spacecraft with the Soyuz-2.1a carrier rocket was and still remains unchallenged — whatever our competitors say."
Rogozin also provided some hints about the future Russian space program as the U.S. moves more into commercial crew. He pointed to the long space history Russia has; for example, Yuri Gagarin, a Soviet Union cosmonaut, was the first person to reach space in 1961. "We remain dominant," Rogozin added, saying Musk's flight was more a slight against Boeing than Russia. "This war is theirs, but not ours," he said.
Some of the Russian actions Rogozin highlighted include:
- Continuing to refine the Soyuz and to build a "new and more advanced spacecraft."
- Moving forward on development of the more environmentally friendly Angara rocket, which he said was previously delayed due to complicated land-use discussions. He pledged to build a "National Space Center buildings complex" by 2022 and a "modern, state-of-the-art engineering center" for Russian rocket engineers. Angara will be ready to lift off in 2023 from Vostochny, he said, in time to replace the Proton rocket that will be banned in 2025 due to environmental concerns.
- Finding more ways to continue being competitive in the industry. Rogozin said one great success was cutting the flight time to the International Space Station, with some recent Progress cargo ships reaching ISS in just over three hours (as opposed to the usual days). Ways to remain competitive, he said, include launching Angara, continuing development on tech such as methane-powered engines and nuclear-powered tugs for deep space, creating a two-stage Soyuz light-heavyweight class rocket for testing in 2023, and developing a super-heavy booster to launch future cosmonauts aboard the Oryol crewed spacecraft. Oryol should have flight tests in 2023 and will start flying to the ISS in 2025, he said.
- Building new ISS modules that will be called Nauka, Prichal (also known as Uzlovoy) and a Science Energy Module, all of which are expected to increase the scientific experiment capacity on the Russian side of the station. These modules will also help in "strengthening [Russia's] independence from the partners," Rogozin said.
- Continuing work on other missions and projects, such as military missions, expanding Vostochny's capacity to launch missions, launching the Luna-25 mission expected to fly to the moon in 2021, building and launching a lunar orbiter and lunar module to do further moon exploration, and renewing the GLONASS global navigation satellite constellation in Earth orbit.
- Committing to keep spacecraft spending lean, including a pledge to "radically cut the costs and excessive nonproduction workers." The ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Rogozin added, has shown Roscosmos which employees may be able to work remotely continuously.
- Focusing on "profile" projects in the near future, including rocket construction, satellite construction, ground space infrastructure and science. Roscosmos will maintain independent design bureaus and engineering centers, Rogozin added, for "maintaining the competitive spirit between them in a bid for new projects." He also pledged greater technology transfer, in part by creating joint technology competence centers.

New music from Keyshia Cole gets released on the web. The song is called Only With You and its a midtempo track that was produced by Rodney “DarkChild” Jerkins. If you listen to the lyrics, it sounds like its a dedication or that she is singing about her man Daniel “Boobie” Gibson.
Only with you, my life just gets better Only with you, my love is forever Only when I’m with you, each moment I treasure….. Its hard to find the words to say because boy you mean that much to me.
I wonder how her baby looks? maybe we’ll get a sneak peek soon.
Shaunie O’neal opened up to People magazine and spoke on the fun it is to date a younger man. It basically keeps her on her toes.
He’s very mature,” says Shaunie, who adds that the couple’s age difference is a benefit. “The age thing keeps it fun. The energy level, being out on the beach. He is working out all the time and he inspires me [to work out].”
Tune into her Basketball Wives reality show this coming sunday April 11th right before Chilli’s new reality show.
Chilli blogs on VIBE.com about the useless attempt in cheating. She feels that if you know you are going to cheat, then why be in a relationship? **pic above is just a pic, not saying Mayweather cheated on her**
My general feeling on cheating, period, whether it’s a girl cheating on a guy—because they do—or vice versa is that I don’t really understand it. We live in a country where we can choose our mate so if you’re unhappy with your mate for whatever reason, then break up. It’s pretty simple. Cheating takes too much effort. You’re hiding and doing all kinds of crazy stuff. It’s just unnecessary and it’s extremely hurtful. It’s excruciating pain.
I’ll just say this: it wasn’t that I just experienced cheating with Usher because he and I never discussed that in detail. That wasn’t the first time I experienced cheating in a relationship. I’ve never cheated but I don’t know any woman on this planet who hasn’t experienced something like that, whether it’s cheating during the relationship or cheating during a breakup, which some people don’t consider cheating because you’re not technically together but you still haven’t really broken apart.
I think women are so afraid to talk about things with guys in fear of him leaving, but if he’s going to be afraid from having a conversation, then the hell with his ass! That doesn’t make any sense. I have every Continue Reading…

As if you thought Oprah was going for good? please Oprah not that stupid. She has recently announced that she will be launching a nightime show on her Oprah Winfrey Network. The Oprah daytime talk show will end in 2011 and the latenight hour long show will gear up as “Oprah’s Next Chapter“. Peep the news below:
The network is using Ms. Winfrey’s ability to attract high-profile talent. One OWN series, “Visionaries: Inside the Creative Mind,” will highlight pop musician Lady Gaga and movie director James Cameron, among others. Another show, “Master Class,” will feature people like former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and musician Jay-Z relaying life stories and lessons directly into the camera.
Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, said Ms. Winfrey asked him to participate during a phone call. “I didn’t even think about it,” Mr. Carter said last month. “I just said ‘yes.’”
Tameka Raymond loves twitter boy… I guess a little too much that some Usher fan made some comments about Usher’s new lady Grace and how she was all for them. Well Tameka wasn’t having that and went off…
Spotted over at Necolebitchie.
When we all thought that she would perform Te Amo, it was just opposite. Rihanna came out in an all black suit and performed her new single Rock Star. I watched it last night and thought it was a good performance she was on key and everything… this video is kind of bad but its decent enough to watch.
Check out a pic of The Dream and Christina Milian’s daughter Violet. Christina Milian gave birth to her back in February. I think she is sooo adorable!
I think she looks more like her daddy in this pic.
Two days ago, I posted Former 3LW and Cheetah Girl member Kiely Williams Spectacular video. The low budget scandalous video portrayed her of drinking a lot and having one night stands basically calling it spectacular. However the song and the video did not catch on from viewers, in fact it was just opposite and caught backlash. Well now Kiely speaks out saying the reason behind the video was not to be trashy but to spread awareness… Huh?
“I recorded the song to bring attention to this frighteningly prevalent activity. It is absurd to infer or suggest that I am condoning this behavior.
I am an actor and performer. I have been so since my first role in a television pilot at five years old. I played a character when I was a ‘Cheetah Girl’. I am playing a character in the music video for the song ‘Spectacular’ as I did in the ‘Cheetah Girl’ movies. Young women across the country get intoxicated and have unprotected sex. That’s a fact. I recorded the song to bring attention to this frighteningly prevalent activity. It is absurd to infer or suggest that I am condoning this behavior.
Are Lady Gaga and Beyonce advocating murder with the “Telephone” video? Of, course not. Was Rihanna encouraging suicide with “Russian Roulette?” No. Was Madonna suggesting that young unmarried girls get pregnant with “Papa Don’t Preach?” I don’t think so. Is Academy Award winner Monique a proponent of incest because of her portrayal of Mary in the movie ‘Precious’. Clearly, the answer is no.
I wrote ‘Spectacular’ and made the video to bring attention to a serious women’s health and safety issue. Please don’t shoot the messenger”.

Baseball is a sport that involves the sights and interesting sport. Read on to learn about this great sport.
As a coach, you must keep player enthusiasm high. Bonding with your team through something like a pizza party is helpful. Most importantly, you need to remember that it’s just a game.
If you bat with your right hand, the weight will be placed on the right foot with your thigh muscle tightening on that side. This provides extra power from the rear foot during your swing.
Make sure that your weight shift is from the front to back when you hit. Right-handed batters put weight on the right foot, which makes that thigh muscle tighten. This means that as you swing, you can get extra power from your back foot.
Remember to maximize safety when you are playing any type of sport. This is very true with baseball. You should always be aware of where the ball will be so that you don’t get hit by it. A stray ball can cause an injury if your attention isn’t completely on it at all times.
In pitching, you will learn how to hold as well as throw the ball properly. The middle finger must be placed on the seam of the ball. The thumb should be on the opposing seam. This grip will allow you to throw at your maximum distance and speed. It will also improve your accuracy.
Know where every single ball player is on the field at all times. Many collisions can be avoided when you know where each player is at all times. Head injuries are a collision.The easiest way to avoid a collision is to let your players know when you are going after a baseball.
Make sure you stay aware of where every player is located on the field. Many collisions can be avoided when you know where the other players are on the field. When the players collide, they can get injured. The best way to not run into someone is to allow people to know when you’re going to go after the ball.
Learn proper stride properly in baseball. If you are right-dominant, lift your left leg as you swing the bat. It works the opposite for those among us who are left-handed. As the ball nears the plate, stride about a foot closer to increase momentum towards the opposing pitcher. Younger and smaller people need to stride quite as much.
Improve your form by perfecting your stride in baseball. Use your left side for leverage if you swing righty. Lefties do the opposite. As the pitch nears, stride forward about twelve inches to create the momentum you need. Younger and smaller people may not have to stride quite as much.
When running base paths, it is very important that you pick up the coaches’ signs. The base coaches have a view of the entire field. Your coaches are your location on the field. If they’re telling you to stop, stay where you are. If they are signaling go, be sure to run as fast as possible.
As an outfielder you need to focus on who the batter is. Right-handed batters hit more balls to left field. Conversely, a player standing on the left side will hit the base towards center field. Knowing the tendencies of each hitter can help you position yourself in the outfield to have a better chance at catching the ball.
Right-handed batters hit more balls to the left field. A lefty will hit toward the right field. Knowing these basic things helps you predict the ball.
Ground balls will be affected by the way the grass has been mowed. The outfield lines can alter the course of a rolling ball. Pay attention to how grounders roll so you will know where the baseball will roll to.
The way the grass plays a role in how ground balls behave. The lines that you see cut into the outfield may make the baseball’s course to alter as it rolls on the ground. If you take the time to study how the ball’s trajectory changes, you could be able to make plays that others cannot.
Your glove makes a great sun shield whenever the ball is headed towards you and you are blinded by the sun. Keeping your glove above the level of your eyes will block the brightness, and still allows you to keep an eye on the ball.
Make sure that your glove is properly broken in before the season. If you are lucky and have a new glove for your season, it really does pay to work it in before you start playing. Toss a baseball into it. Leather conditioner can be used to soften the leather in.Punch the weave repeatedly. Gloves that have been broken in are much better on the field.
When batting, you may have to sacrifice yourself. Baseball is a team sport, not an individual one. Often your team needs a player moved over a base, and the best play you can make is a sacrifice bunt or fly. It may lack the feel of a home run or hit, but you may rather earn wins with solid play.
A lot of the catcher grabs it and thrown back to you. However, your defensive skills are needed if contact is made, and you need the ability to react quickly.
As soon as the ball leaves the pitcher’s hand, it’s actively in play. Many times it goes into the catcher’s glove and then quietly back to you. However, sometimes you are going to have to play defense immediately, and you must be able to react.
To help improve the direction of a bunt, and to avoid it going back to the mound, or aim its head to first if you hit right. Reverse the bases for left handed batter. This will allow you to bunt the pitcher won’t get it right away and it still stays fair.
Watch a right-handed pitchers left foot so you do not get thrown out on first. When the pitcher shifts his foot back behind the rubber plate, then a pitch has commenced. If it does not occur then he has balked and you are on to the next base.
Are you familiar with the different types of what differs in each bat? A great metal bat needs to be about 3 ounces or so lighter than the bat is long. A 34″ bat will weigh 31 oz. This formula helps to ensure you can hold a bat perpendicular as you swing.
As you are pitching, be in tune with what your body is telling you. You can hurt your shoulder if you ignore a pain there. Do not practice more than a few times each week to protect your shoulder from injury. This will give your shoulder a welcome opportunity to rest up.
To keep from committing catcher’s interference, stay put until the ball hits your glove. If a runner is stealing, you can start rising while the pitch comes, but if you move forward and the batter hits your glove with his bat, he gets to go to first base.
Make sure that you and your infield squad mates practice your double plays. Pitchers love double plays, with good reason. There are so many ways that it can go about, and as infielders you need to be prepared for any of them. Keep repeating these drills until they come natural.
Listen to your body when you pitch.Shoulder injuries are common when a pitcher uses his arm too much. To steer clear of shoulder woes, limit practice to about three times per week. This will give your shoulder a welcome opportunity to rest and thus reduce the chance of injury.
To prevent second base runners from predicting pitches, always use different signs. The player can see your signals from the position on second base. Use different signs to throw off the other team.
Maybe you’ve been following baseball from any early age. Perhaps you have just begun to enjoy this game. You might be just starting to expand your knowledge of the game. No matter what kind of a background you’re from, the things you’ve gone over here will make you enjoy baseball that much more.
If you don’t like the calls you catcher is giving, let him know by shaking your head or rotating your finger. If he doesn’t listen, trouble will ensue.
