Stop your search and go with Southern Belle Beauty for your hair and make-up needs. The communication with Brandalyn throughout the booking process and until my wedding day was amazing. She answered all emails in a timely manner and with great detail.
I was an out of town bride who was unable to do a trail for hair and make-up. My hair and make-up along with my bridesmaids, and mom's turned out fabulous. Everyone at my wedding couldn't believe how beautiful the hair and make/up was. Brandalyn, Randi, and Ciara nailed it! They were fun and professional and made the getting ready process memorable and relaxed. They came to my cabin and stuck to the scheduled timeline for everyone. They were also super flexible and managed to squeeze in my brother for a hair cut.
Thank you guys for everything!!!!!
Brandalyn was great with her communication and always answered any emails in timely manner. Sepideh was fantastic and my bridal party, mother, grandmother, and myself all looked so great and I couldn't have been more pleased. I highly recommend!!
Brandalyn is so talented and excudes southern hospitality. She was very easy to work with and provided an excellent recommendation for nails, even setting up that appointment for me. She made getting my hair and makeup done so relaxing and she kept everything on schedule. The end result matched my vision perfectly and the hair and airbrush makeup held up perfectly all day and even withstood the rain. I was on the fence about whether or not I wanted to hire a professional vs. do it myself and I absolutely chose right.
Brandalyn and JB were wonderful to work with! We had a destination wedding in Sevierville, Tennessee this November. I traveled for a trial a month prior to my wedding. I cannot thank these girls enough for their professionalism and their skills on making myself and my wedding party look their best for my big day. I loved my hair and makeup and they ran with any feedback we provided to them on changes or concerns.
Brandalyn is very quick to respond to any questions you may have about the booking process. They arrived on time and I received so many compliments on my hair and makeup.
Brides- If you need a trustworthy stylist, Southern Belle are the way to go.
Absolutely loved Brandalyn! She was amazing! I couldn't have asked for better. She was so patient and done such a wonderful job! Thank you so much for making my day amazing!
These ladies are outstanding! Jenna Beth is a rockstar and did an awesome job on both my engagement pictures and wedding day!!!!! They came to us for the day of, I had 7 bridesmaids, myself and 2 mom's that needed done and they knocked it out without us having to start getting ready at the crack of dawn (we started at 8, which made everyone happy).
These ladies are so wonderful!! Each one of my bridesmaids loved their hair and/or makeup! One of my bridesmaids was in a wedding the weekend before mine, and she had mentioned how her hair and makeup looked WAY better at my wedding than the weekend before.
I am very picky about my hair and makeup, but they were SO patient with me the entire time and I was so happy with the end result!
Southern Belle Beauty was not available on the day of our wedding, however our correspondence with them was very professional and they were kind enough to provide us with a wonderful referral to Southern Sirens who we ended up using.
SERIOUSLY STUNNING. By the time we got to my wedding this fall- I had already been in 3 weddings. At 2 I ended up re-doing my hair, so by the third I didn't even bother and just did it myself. I think we have all gotten used to being in weddings where we weren't exactly thrilled with the final product (hair/make-up). So i was seriously thrilled when every single one of my 8 bridesmaids, my mother and myself all looked stunning. Like the best hair and make-up we've ever had done. It was so good that people were adding services.
Additionally- I have also not been in a wedding to date where hair and make-up isn't at least running a little behind but these ladies were so good at what they do we ran FAR AHEAD of schedule. To the point that i actually got to spend a couple hours just sitting around and chatting with my friends drinking champagne ....completely relaxed. What bride wouldn't want that? Ohhh and did i mention they travel to you? I got the luxury of getting ready at my venue with hair & Make-up onsite so i didnt have to go anywhere. That was great for all of the stuff you are carrying with you as a bride but it also took a lot of additional logistics out of the equation, which as a busy bride planning her wedding....it was amazing. I chose to do a hair and make-up trial which gave me extra confidence that I would already love the hair and make-up on the day of.
All in all i can say this team was professional, efficient, and talented as all hell.
Thank you so much Southern Belle Beauty!!
Highly recommend. They did a great job on mine and my bridesmaid's hair!
It was easy to speak with Alex from start to finish. She answered all my questions about what kind of makeup and hair options. I was able to send her pictures for what ideas I was looking for. She made me look like a princess!
Knoxville's #1 Bridal Makeup Artistry is Southern Belle Beauty. If you want to look amazing, feel confident and have correct HD Performance Makeup that works hand and hand with Camera Effects, creating beautiful pictures, then Southern Bell Beauty is the appointment to book! Brandalyn is a truly gifted, professionally trained makeup and hair artist! She is beautiful both inside and out! I explained I want to look natural, but like a Victoria's Secret Runway Model too. She responded, "Great! Not a problem" and got to work! I had appointments for both my engagement and bridal sessions and both times amazing job! I have always been told I am cute but after having my session with Southern Bell Beauty my husband said. "My gosh you look STUNNING!" both times! I did too, I felt stunning for the first time in my life, and that's one word every bride and her glam team wants to hear… I even had to change my appointment due to weather and Alex and Brandalyn were extremely accommodating! I am female, therefore I excel in finding imperfections in personal photos, own excessive products from Sephora, and Pinterest way too many makeup ideas… Brandalyn listened and executed the exact look I wanted, contoured imperfections, highlighted best features, and made me look stunning!!! All with a positive and compassionate heart! She defines the title Professional Makeup Artist and new friend. I highly recommend Southern Bell Beauty.
Alex and Brandalyn were amazing! They were very professional at all times while still bringing the fun to getting ready. They were on time and willing to add a few services day of. Once my bridesmaids saw the eyelashes, everyone wanted them. I was doing a destination wedding 2 hours from them and they were great about traveling and helping me figure out how to do a trial. One of the outstanding things about them is their responsiveness. As a stressed out bride, I so appreciated how Alex was so good about getting back to me with any questions or tweaks. She was one of my top vendors on responsiveness. The other big bonus was being able to pay online and allow the bridal party to do as well vs. needing to deal with cash day of. Our hair and makeup was beautiful day of and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again or suggest them to anyone who is in need of hair and makeup for a special day.
These girls were amazing! On time, fun but professional, and made all of us look the best we possibly could for my big day. They were easy to work with and willing to add and remove services up until the day of. They were quick at responding to e-mailed questions and were willing to work with us on the day of to make sure everyone had what they wanted. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again or suggest them to anyone who is in need of hair and makeup for a special day.
Alex and Brandalyn were wonderful to work with on my wedding day. I had 7 bridesmaids, plus myself and my mother. They did our hair and makeup and were quick and efficient, but didn't rush whatsoever. Everyone turned out stunning. The bridesmaids all had different hair, but each one was unique and beautiful. The makeup photographed beautifully and lasted all day and night on a very hot August day. I would highly recommend Southern Belle Beauty to anyone looking for special occasion hair and/or makeup.
These ladies have it together! I didn't have to worry about a thing! They were the calm in the storm of my wedding day. Very professional and were willing to do anything for myself and my bridesmaids. If you are worried about them being slightly expensive, they are worth every penny. I loved being able to stay in one place and have our hair and make up beautiful.
Alex and Brandalyn are fantastic and extremely talented! I had a large bridal party of 8 bridesmaids! My mom and mother in law also got their hair and makeup done! So 11 people all together and we never felt rushed or running behind! They were so easy to work with and everyone looked amazing!! I highly recommend Southern Bridal Beauty for any occasion where you want to look fabulous!
The ladies here are great. Nice people!
Love. These. Ladies! They did such a great job and were so awesome to be around. They made my girls and me look and feel beautiful!
Brandalyn and Alex are amazing! They are so professional and very talented. They were both so flexible in terms of my trial run, engagement session and the big day. They are wonderful at listening to your preferences and were very attentive to detail. Highly recommend!
The staff of Southern Belle Beauty are excellent. They go out of their way for the bride and bridal party. They made me feel like a princess on my wedding day and I was very pleased with my hair and makeup. I received so many compliments from guest. The staff will do everything to please you during trials-- which I would highly recommend a trial of hair and makeup so they can get a feel for your hair type, vision of your hair/makeup and such, and just get to know each other. Thank you SBB for making my wedding day hair and makeup all come together!!
These girls are so great to work with and made you look and feel nothing less than fabulous! All of the staff is so wonderful to work with-very talented and professional. They also did up-do's for all of my bridesmaids (none of them knew what hairstyle they wanted) and all of them looked amazing! I couldn't be happier with the services I received from Southern Belle Beauty!
I really enjoyed working with these ladies for hair and makeup for my bridal party. The day of my wedding Brandalyn and Alex came out to my hotel suite and took care of my bridesmaids, the mothers, and myself. I loved the work they did on all of us and I received compliments all day for my hair and makeup. I also really liked how they handled my hair and makeup trial. I had been having really terrible experiences with beauty people so for my third trial I contacted Southern Belle Beauty and they won me over. The first hair style wasn't exactly what I had pictured so Alex took it all down and redid it for me so I would like it. Neither of the other companies I had trials with before would do this. Both times I was not happy with my hair and both times they said I could do another trial but they would not fix it while I was there already. Alex was willing to get it right during the trial and that's the way it should be. I would definitely recommend these ladies to anyone who needs hair and makeup for a special occasion.
One of our favorite vendors! Alex did an amazing job on my hair and our makeup. She had a lot of great suggestions and was super fun to work with. 100% would recommend!

What happens if I substitute different exercises for my warm-up sets?
I'm doing a program that promotes warm-up sets before performing working sets at maximum weight.
At the moment I do 3 warm-up sets at increasingly heavier weight, and am considering changing the warm-up exercises to a similar but slightly more challenging varient.
The example I'm thinking of is with back squats with 3 warmup sets. Instead of doing the back squats for the warmups I was considering doing,:
1x5 reps overhead squat @ 20% * 5RM
1x5 reps front squat @ 60% * 5RM
3x5 reps back squat @ 100% * 5RM
The reason I've chosen those exercises, is that I find overhead squats more challenging on my core and stability, however its much harder to perform at high weight. However, the movement is quite similar, so I assume it would still have provide an adequate warm-up for the quads/glutes.
Similarly, front squats again are generally performed at a lower weight than back squats, and have benefits for core strength. So far, I've tried this twice and haven't noticed any impact on my working sets, nor has it prevented me increasing the weight on the following workout.
The reason for performing a warm-up prior to the working sets, I'll quote Mark Rippetoe:
The warmup sets serve only to prepare the lifter for the work sets; they should never interfere with the work sets. As such they should be planned with this in mind. The last warmup set before the work set should never be so heavy that it interferes with the work set, but heavy enough that it allows the lifter to feel a heavier weight before he does the work sets. It might only consist of one or two reps even though the work sets are five or more reps.
The problem is, while I understand the benefit of a warm-up, I feel like I need something that is at least a little challenging. For example, a 20kg (bar-only) back squat is a non-challenging movement, however, when performed as an overhead squat, I don't feel any more strain on my quadriceps (the primary muscle of the working sets), However I feel the extra technique required for the overhead squat (which at 20kg is challenging) might have some positive impact in the long term - but I'm not sure.
What, if any, medium- or long-term impacts might I see by substituting warm-up sets with a more challenging variant?
If there are benefits, I'll probably ask a separate, similar question that addresses bench/overhead press and deadlifts.

What is the purpose of your warm-up sets? – user4644 Sep 28 '13 at 2:29
I have started squatting recently, to improve my running performance, so I wish to follow this question. Can you please say what is 5RM? – Freakyuser Sep 28 '13 at 8:04
@Freakyuser: it's the maximum weight you are able to do 5 reps with. – zero-divisor Sep 28 '13 at 8:36
You say you feel like you need something that is at least a little challenging. Don't the last few warm-up sets become at least a little challenging? They're supposed to be fairly heavy doubles, or singles. They don't tire me out, but they're challenging enough to require mental focus and attention to proper form. – user4644 Sep 28 '13 at 21:01
@LegoStormtroopr Don't make your warm-up sets heavier just to make them harder. That's not the point of warm-up sets. Warm-up sets should only get hard because your work set weight is heavy and therefore a moderate percentage of it is still rather heavy. That's why I asked what your current 5RM is: it makes a big difference in how the warm-up sets feel. – Dave Liepmann Oct 1 '13 at 6:51
Relevance of front and overhead squats as warm-up for back squats
Warm-up sets are meant to prepare the entire body for the heavy challenge of the work sets. They're not used to practice other lifts, or to be challenging in themselves. Warm-ups are there to increase flexibility and blood flow, and to practice impeccable form in preparation for the challenge of the work sets. If the work sets are truly heavy, it's necessary to warm up with the same exercise in order to get the full benefits of the warm-up. Specifically, a heavy work set requires full coordination and complete adherence to proper form for the specific kind of squat you're doing. This is of particular concern for novices, whose form is not as well ingrained.
It is also of more concern when working with heavier weights, where deviation from perfect form has more dire consequences. I would advise against warming up with anything but the exact kind of squat your work sets are going to be if you're squatting more than bodyweight times 1.25.
If your back squat is less than bodyweight then the only concern with using different squats to warm up is learning suboptimal movement patterns, not injury. But in that case, you would be avoiding one of the main purposes of warm-up sets for the novice, which is to practice form by accumulating volume. Throwing in other types of squat means it will take longer to learn good form in all of them, since they are similar enough skills that learning one will interfere with learning the others. Therefore I don't see any utility in doing front squats before back squats. You'll ingrain a different movement pattern from the back squat and won't be fully prepared for the work sets. If you want to front squat then add front squats to your program, but they don't do much good as a back squat preparation and they could do some harm.
But my number one advice, the most important thing for you to read and be aware of, is that if the first set of back squats you do is a different kind than what you've been "warming up" with, you're eventually going to have a bad time if you're lifting heavy weights. A 1.5x bodyweight back squat without doing any back squats yet in the workout is a back squat with a greatly increased risk of injury. That's because you essentially did not warm up for that back squat.
My experience with overhead squats in the warm-up
When I've used overhead squats as part of my warm-up in the past, they weren't really part of my warm-up for the back squat. I would do them just before or just after the first warm-up set for back squats, but that was only because they were light and quick and fit in well at that spot in the workout. They were marginally useful as preparation for the back squat, but really I did them because A) I wanted to do overhead squats and B) they're a good general whole-body warm-up. Therefore they went after running or skipping rope and before my squat warm-up sets.
I've also heard of programming alternating work sets of front and back squats, but only for lifters where the form for both is 100% unquestionably ingrained. I think that the warm-up for that included both front and back squats of moderate weight. Again, I really can't see it being a good idea to "warm up" one exercise by doing...a different exercise. That's like not warming up.
I do want to warn you about two possible pitfalls with these exercises. One, many people, even athletes, are not physically capable of an overhead squat with proper form without specific mobility and strength work in the shoulders and back. Be careful. Two, the back squat isn't meant to have a "primary muscle". If it had one, it would be a tie between the glutes, hamstrings, lower back, and quadriceps. To conceive of the warm-ups as preparing the quadriceps for work is to misunderstand the squat itself.
Do you think the lack of focus on hamstrings during LegoStormTrooper's modified warm-up could lead to hamstring pulls? I have found that those are the first thing to get tweaked if I haven't warmed up properly. – user4644 Oct 1 '13 at 15:22
@Kate It's my hip mobility, lower back muscles, and back angle that aren't 100% if I don't do a few warm-up sets of back squats. I'd venture a lack of specific warm-up would merely increase the risk of injury at whatever his weakest point is. – Dave Liepmann Oct 1 '13 at 15:45
Warming up calf muscles for general work out session
Low weight exercises in between sets
Is there an alternative way to warm up for lifts that is less tedious than gradually increasing the set weight?
How should you warm up for stronglifts sessions?
Does warmup volume have a detrimental effect on working set?
Would this routine work?
What is the correct workout order? (I.e. warm-up, mobility work, lifts, stretches, cooling down)
Back and squats
Warmup sets necessary/recommended on follow up exercises?


Like a lot of personality traits, there are pros and cons to independence and self-sufficiency. I could spend a lot of time expounding upon all of these, but there's one major part of my life that has never benefited from my ability to take care of myself — my relationship with the Lord.
Even though, deep down, my heart always know I can't make it through this life without the Lord, my head is really good at rationalizing, strong arming it, and MAKING THINGS HAPPEN so I'm able to convince myself I don't need anyone because I'm a big girl and I can take care of myself, thank you very much.
Until my anxiety gets the better of me and the simplest thing sends me into a tailspin of freaking out and feeling like I've lost control and wanting to curl up into a ball and hide away from the world.
That happened last night. If it doesn't sound like fun, that's because it wasn't and it isn't.
But those moments of breaking down and feeling like I just can't do it all are a gift precisely because they remind me that I can't do it all and I was never meant to.
There is value in independence, in learning to care for yourself, in learning to handle things and live life without complete dependence on other human beings. But we ere when we apply our independence from other people to independence with the Lord, because the truth is, we were created to live life with complete dependence on Him.
When we go for too long thinking we're independent, we're self-sufficient, and we've got this, we're bound to have a breakdown. We're bound to eventually run into a situation where we feel incapable and like our skills and knowledge and talents are insufficient because they are.
I can't say I particularly enjoyed my minor freak out last night, but I'm grateful for it. I'm grateful that it reminded me to take a step back, to remember that I am not in control of my life or my job or my living situation or anything else, but He is. And in those moments where I feel incapable of handling what's been thrown my way, I'm so grateful that I can lean on Him, letting my weakness be His strength.
I pray you remember that this week, friend. His grace is sufficient, not yourself.

Jobs, Salaries and Career after Masters in Urban Studies and Affairs - Updated 2020
2018 median Pay for Urban Studies and Affairs
The median annual wage for sociologists was $82,050 in May 2018.
They may work outside of an office setting when conducting research through interviews or observations or presenting research results. Work Schedules Most sociologists work full time during regular business hours.
Best paying jobs for Social Sciences
Number of Jobs for Urban Studies and Affairs
Number of Jobs in 2018 was 3,500
Job Outlook for Urban Studies and Affairs
Employment of sociologists is projected to show little or no change from 2016 to 2026. Sociologists can expect strong competition because sociology is a popular field of study with a relatively small number of positions.
Job description of Urban Studies and Affairs
Sociologists study society and social behavior by examining the groups, cultures, organizations, social institutions, and processes that develop when people interact and work together.
Sociologists typically do the following:
Design research projects to test theories about social issues
Collect data through surveys, observations, interviews, and other sources
Analyze and draw conclusions from data
Prepare reports, articles, or presentations detailing their research findings
Collaborate with and advise other social scientists, policymakers, or other groups on research findings and sociological issues
Sociologists study human behavior, interaction, and organization. They observe the activity of social, religious, political, and economic groups, organizations, and institutions. They examine the effect of social influences, including organizations and institutions, on different individuals and groups. They also trace the origin and growth of these groups and interactions. For example, they may research the impact of a new law or policy on a specific demographic.
Sociologists often use both quantitative and qualitative methods when conducting research, and they frequently use statistical analysis programs during the research process.
Their research may help administrators, educators, lawmakers, and social workers to solve social problems and formulate public policy. Sociologists may specialize in a wide range of social topics, including, but not limited to:
education and health;
crime and poverty;
families and population;
and gender, racial, and ethnic relations.
Sociologists who specialize in crime may be called criminologists or penologists. These workers apply their sociological knowledge to conduct research and analyze penal systems and populations and to study the causes and effects of crime.
Many people with a sociology background become postsecondary teachers and high school teachers. Most others find work in related jobs outside the sociologist profession such as policy analysts, demographers, survey researchers, and statisticians.
How to become Urban Studies and Affairs
Most sociology jobs require a master's degree or Ph.D. Many bachelor's degree holders find positions in related fields, such as social services, education, or public policy.
Sociologists typically need a master's degree or Ph.D. There are two types of sociology master's degree programs: traditional programs and applied, clinical, and professional programs. Traditional programs prepare students to enter a Ph.D. program. Applied, clinical, and professional programs prepare students to enter the workplace, teaching them the necessary analytical skills to perform sociological research in a professional setting.
Courses in research methods and statistics are important for candidates in both master's and Ph.D. programs. Many programs also offer opportunities to gain experience through internships or by preparing reports for clients.
Candidates with a bachelor's degree may benefit from internships or volunteer work when looking for entry-level positions in sociology or a related field. These types of opportunities give students a chance to apply their academic knowledge in a professional setting and develop skills needed for the field.
Analytical skills. Sociologists must be able to examine data and other information, often using statistical methods to test their theories.
Communication skills. Sociologists need strong communication skills when they conduct interviews, collaborate with colleagues, and write and present research results.
Critical-thinking skills. Sociologists design research projects and collect, process, and analyze information to draw logical conclusions about society and various groups of people.

SLAPPING PRESIDENT OBAMA
Posted by Apostle Randy E. on August 26, 2009 at 10:21pm

Slapping Obama, or Please God, keep Israel from making peace
By Bradley Burston
Tags: Israel News, Barack Obama
Click here for more articles by Bradley Burston
The following is the second installment of the Outpost Watch, a project aimed at helping monitor outposts and clarify the potential difficulty in countering them for the sake of peace. Data are based in large part on extensive research conducted over years by the Peace Now organization, augmented with and cross-referenced by information from settlers and Haaretz correspondents.
Everyone who lives here is a hostage. We know it, even if we are often surprised anew by the specific people who are currently holding us hostage, which is to say, staving off progress toward a future peace, and, in the process, taking a direct slap at Barack Obama.
Some we know all too well, of course. There are those among our captors who are so consistent and tireless in the work against peace that they have become part of the wallpaper, along with the scratches we make, year after year, decade after decade, marking opportunities intentionally wasted and lives needlessly lost.
Oddly enough, for fundamentalists on both sides, the prayer is oddly the same. It amounts to Please God, Keep Israel from Making Peace.
There are those among supporters of the Palestinians who, deep down, would rather see Israel punished than to see a Palestinian state be established. These include the diaspora schemers of Hamas, headed by Khaled Meshal,
who said last week "The enemy's leaders call for a so-called Jewish state is a racist demand that is no different from calls by Italian Fascists and Hitler's Nazism."
And there are those among us, Jews obsessed with the West Bank, who would rather see Israel punished than have the settlements harmed in any way.
After all these years, praying against peace is easy to understand. For both sides, peace will entail repugnant compromises, ugly admissions, internal war. And for fundamentalist Islam and fundamentalist Judaism both, it's either peace on our maximalist terms, or no peace at all.
When it comes to fundamentalists, we know what we are up against: The people who let us know that a peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians is the last thing God wants.
But there are others who hold us - and peace - hostage, who are more difficult to comprehend. Take Ehud Barak. The nominal leader of Israel's peace camp. The head of the party which first concluded a peace agreement with the Palestinians. And the Israeli leader who presided over the defense ministry decision last month to, in effect, reward the squatters in Migron, the most heavily populated and highest profile of all illegal outposts, with new housing in an established settlement. A sophisticated but no less direct slap at the American presidedent. A time-bomb of a decision which, inconveniently enough, went off in the High Court Monday just as Barak was leaving for Washington and talks over, what else, a freeze on settlement.
Never mind that the proposed new housing would be in Adam, north of Jerusalem, which is outside the settlement blocs which Washington has foreseen as annexed to Israel in a land-swap as a part of an overall future peace settlement.
Never mind that the plan also appears to be part of a much larger strategy aimed at eventually extending Adam to link to the northern Jerusalem neighborhood of Neve Yaakov, a proposal Palestinians strongly oppose as a direct block to a viable independent Palestine.
Never mind that it acts as a reward for squatting, illegality, and defiance of Israeli government authority.
The worst problem is that neither the Defense Ministry nor its minister, seem to see any of these as a problem at all.

Q: Launch multiple tasks consecutively I want to save certain information via http. This information is continuously stored in a local database (sqlite) and just keep it in the server (HttpPost) every so often.
How I can save that information releasing tasks individually by each data from my table? If possible an orderly manner.
Thus I launch a task and works perfectly (the code is generic, of course)
(I hope my english is right)
void SaveDataOnServer()
{
    String data = db.getFirstData();
    task = new SaveItemTask();
    task.execute(data);

    //if I have, say, 5 data, it would be nice to launch 5 row consecutive (for, while...)?

}

public class SaveItemTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, Boolean>
{
    protected Boolean doInBackground(String... param)
    {
        ...
        HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
        HttpPost consult = new HttpPost(url + "?x=" + param[0]);

        //making an HTTP POST request
        try
        {
            HttpResponse response = client.execute(consult);
            HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
            ...
        }
        catch...
}

....

@Override
protected void onPostExecute(final Boolean success)
{
    ...
    if (success)
    {
        //Update row (set saved onserver=true)
    }
    ...
}

A: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/AsyncTask.html

The task can be executed only once (an exception will be thrown if a
  second execution is attempted.)

So either you re-create your SaveItemTask object every time, either you modify SaveItemTask in order to perform the HttpPost a target number of times.


THE ABOVE MANTRA consists of 16 Hari naam sankirtana . The names of the Lord is repeated 16 times . 8 times the name HARI , four times RAAM and Four times KRISHNA . Mere mechanical chanting of this mantra does not give any result but result will be more pronounced and multitude if chanted with contemplation of its meaning . It conveys 6 rupas of the LORD and four qualities . The four qualities which HUMANS must know before death without doubt , if they have to reach VAIKUNTHA . However we may ask when there are only three names in this mantra [ HARI RAAM KRISHNA ] how this corresponds to various contemplations of qualities of the lord .
For this we need to know what HARI means . Hari means LION [ simha] in sanskrit . hence Narsimha rupa of Lord is also known as NARAHARI . Is LORD known as HARI just because he happens to have a head of LION ? NO !!!
Lord takes away [destroys] fears and ill effects [ undesired or untowards events that are to come ] of the devotees . This he does in abundance ,limitlessly . So devotees are saved by HIM and he takes away their fear and avoids mishaps and dangers .
This anusandhaana [ contemplation ] is necessary when chanting Hari .
Again when we chant HARI ,we must remember that LORD who has rescued GAJENDRA in TAPAS manvantara from a crocodile . This LORD known by the name TAPAS is also known as HARI and saves GAJENDRA elephant and relieves from the curse of DEVAL and AGASTYA and gives MOKSHA. This Lord has been called upon as HARI in bhagavat by the Gajendra .
Thus second contemplation is DUSHTA shaktinaam akramanam pariharati means for all devotees Lord saves from the attack of evil . Such attacks bring about hurdles in the sadhana of the Devotee and HARI saves us from that .
RAAM gives us contemplation of DASHARATHI RAAM and JAMDAGNI RAAM Parshuraam .
Dasharathi RAAM , son of Dashrath , as Madhvacharya praises is the one who has the quality of " swabhakta santaap harta " RAAM kills all the evil rakshasas and thus saves devtas [ his devotees ] from the santaap ie miseries attrocities etc and all along gives happiness to them . For us HE removes TAAPTRAYA and saves us from miseries of the world and gives happiness .
EVil Kshatriyas were killed by PARSURAAM and thereby destroyed their egoes . Similarly RAAM name destroy our egoes and help us in advancing our sadhana . ALso Lord RAAM [ Parsuraam] resides in the AGNI [ agnyantargata PASURAAM] This AGNI is ever present in our mouth enabling us to speak and chant . Let LORD RAAM enable us to chant his mantras with contemplation .We must remember this while chnating RAAM a second time .
KRISHNA name reminds us of YASHODA Krsihna and Vaashistha KRISHNA . As YADAV Krishna HE is most Attractive and cleanses the Kali KALUSHYA [POLLUTION of KALI ] by killing all the RAKSHASAs and masterminding MAHABHARATA .
Vashishtha KRISHNA [ VEDVYASA ] cleanses the pollution of KALI by giving us the right kowledge through Puranas and MAHABHARATA etc granthas , BOTH have done the karshana of KALI hence are Known as KRISHNA .
These qualities should ever be meditated upon by all the humans at all times they must do the upasana of these gunas of LORD in order to get MOKSHA . Thus says Bramha tarka a treatise on Upasana .
When contemplating Narsimha removing fears and dangers and TAPAS saving from Evil we must also contemplate upon the Nirdushtatva that means as LORD saves from fear , dangers and enemies , HE himself does not have such aspects as fears or dangers or enemies . LORD cannot be subjugated to defects like fear , Lord does not fear , nothing endangers him or no enemies ever can trouble HIM and thus HE is capable of removing our defects of fears dangers and enemies .
While chanting RAAM [ dasharathi RAAM ] one must also contemplate on the ANANDA guna of the LORD . Lord RAMA is embodiment of happiness . anandaparipurna and thus gives complete happiness to the devotees , He does not have any unhappiness [ his lamenting for SEETA is thus not real ,SEETA LAXMI DEVI always resides in the heart of NARAYANA as SRIVATSA mole . she never separates from the LORD NITYAAVIYOGI , as RAAM is no different from NARAYANA SEETA always resides in HIM there is never a separation ] EXcept for 700 years of absence of SEETA alonside RAAM in RAMAYANA RAAM has lived Happily for rest 11000 years , so says SKANDA purana . Thus RAAM name should also give anusandhana of ANANDAguna paripurna .
Swamitva this quality of LORDSHIP over everyone is clearly exhibited in PARSURAAM and GOPALKRISHNA avataraas . Crores of RAKSHAS could not vanquish Krishna and he established HIS Supremacy 21 times as PARSURAMA and KRISNA as well . Thus HE is SARVA SWAMY , SUPREME.
Thanks to Mahavishnu for this blog, moreover for you!
This is the first time ever am reading such a beautiful explanation for this simple but powerful mantra.
Am blessed to have come across it and read it.
This is really one of the finest articles written. My humble pranams to you for writing this.
I was trying to follow this, so I have compiled a list below Part A is a quick reference, instead of going through the whole article.
Part B is the map as per your article, to simplify memorizing this wonderful mantra.
YASHODA Krishna – As YADAV Krishna HE is most Attractive and cleanses the Kali KALUSHYA [POLLUTION of KALI ] by killing all the RAKSHASAs and masterminding MAHABHARATA .
SAT – Nidushtva – not even an iota of defect in Sri Hari, he is also the remover of all defects of fears dangers and enemies .
ATMA – Swamitva – Swamitva this quality of LORDSHIP over everyone is clearly exhibited in PARSURAAM and GOPALKRISHNA avataraas . Crores of RAKSHAS could not vanquish Krishna and he established HIS Supremacy 21 times as PARSURAMA and KRISNA as well . Thus HE is SARVA SWAMY , SUPREME.
which you have mentioned in this article ?
morever are there any rules to chant this mantra ?
I am not the doer (One who does something or perform actions) , Shri Hari is the doer, all the actions that I do are His worship.
Even then, the worship I do is through His grace and not by me.The devotion and the fruits of the actions that come to me are due to His recurring grace.
If one always practices to do actions with a dedicated spirit to Hari, in this way, it pleases Vishnu".
Quoted by Acharya Madhwa in GitA tAtparya nirNaya.
this way, it pleases Vishnu".
Can this mantra be chanted by anyone irrespective of Varna and caste ?
I have no words left to explain the joy after reading this article on the auspicious day of Akshaya tritiya.
By the benevolent grace of Guru Rayaru, Me and my wife had the oppurtunity of performing Arati to Brundavana at Mantralayam.
Humbly plead to continue your tireless work on propagating Tatvavada.

Trevor May had himself a night. First person to say "when does he get promoted to Reading" gets a kick in the shins though, so be careful.

3up3kkk says:
What do you mean Reading? He should be double-jumped to Lehigh Valley
JoeD5k says:
uh do you realize he could replace Baez?
LarryM says:
Double jumped? Why not have him take Worley's spot in the major league rotation?
why not just let him into the hall of fame and hang the spikes up now?
Jumpin' says:
Why stop at Cooperstown…
gkketch says:
I hear he when we refer to him that we have to capitalize the first letter.. He… Him… ect….
I heard he isn't even using his surname anymore, like Brazilian soccer stars. Hence forth he shall only be referred to as "Trevor"
Mike N says:
I heard Trevor was starting to look into other sports now that He has completed His hall of fame baseball career. What's next? Football? Soccer? Table tennis?
You guys beat me to the punch. But then I remembered the old Jimmy Croce song: "You don't tug on superman's cape. You don't spit into the wind. You don't pull the mask off that old lone ranger
And you don't mess around with jim (James)".
Bellman says:
That was me talkin' about messin' with the James.
kphilly says:
May seems to have real dominant stuff or real average stuff..needs to be more consistent. Good hitting at Williamsport tonight. Ashe and Martinez with 2hits apiece. Hudson with 2 hits including a triple and Altherr with a 3 run HR. No pitching tonight. Singleton and Hernandez with 2 hits apiece for Clearwater. Nice to see. Where is Leandro Castro? Ramirez with a nice start but no support. Lehigh Valley got crushed. Aumont did not fair well. Edell pitched a few good innings then got lit up. Lehigh Valley suddenly has no starters and bullpen is pitching a lot of innings.
I disagree about May — he either has real dominant stuff or lacks control. He gets a dizzying number of Ks when he has success and when he struggles…
Boston Phan says:
This is a very good article that illustrates that point. He says it's all about his FB command and last night was the best it has ever been for him. Also some very encouraging comments in the article about focusing on throwing strikes and having better mechanics. I think that consistent mechanics have been an ongoing issue, so it is good to hear that the changes that have been made are starting to stick. Of course, one would expect comments like these after the best game he's ever pitched. I'm trying not to get too high here. Still, it sounds like tangible progress has been made as opposed to him getting lucky on one night.
Kudos to the article's author, David Heck, for writing such an insightful piece.
http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20110622&content_id=20900002&fext=.jsp&vkey=news_milb
Dont forget Jimenez hitting 3 singles, RBI, run and 2 stolen bases for Williamsport.
I mean Witer Jimenez
Stevemc says:
I mentioned in another topic but will post here that May was overwhelmingly good tonight. The tampa Yankees looked lost up there.
Thanks Steve. May had 9 swinging strikeouts and 5 called. Swining strikeouts are a good sign because that means his stuff is so good that players can't hit it (i.e. "swing-and-miss stuff").
How are the yankees lineup. Was may dominating a good offensive team or a below average one? Happy to see hernandez doing really well over where he was at not too long ago. Also are there any clip from todays game?

Cesar Hernandez has been putting it together over the past several weeks. His role offensively–as a promising excellent fielder player at 2nd base–would be to hit at the top of the lineup as an OB machine who steals bases.
Should he maintain his current mojo, it is likely he will be moved to the top of the lineup…soon.
He is–IMO–the front office's most favored 2nd baseman of the future.
I've said he'd likely get up to .260 by the season's end. Looks like he's ahead of schedule. Terrific to see. Now, if we only had a SS with superior skills to join him. Did somebody say "Galvis"?
Bob Melan says:
I was just looking at the lineup as well. I think Cesar should be hitting second and maybe even get a few in lead off.
Ken45 says:
I was just going to post the same thing. Hernandez could move up to Reading by year's end, but first he needs to move up in the batting order. He's outgrown the 7th hole. I'd bat him first and James second.
PSUPhilliesPhan says:
Not quite sure how 9 BB's all year would make him an OB Machine but he's definitely turned himself into someone to watch. Are Singleton And Rizz the only guys in the system that actually know how to take a walk??
Santana does a pretty good job of it too.
Sanatana not so much this year, but he has in the past.
Collier's BB rate is decent. Same with Savery and Susdorf. Mendez and Rivero are … not horrible, not great.
Kratz isn't a prospect but can take a walk. As can a couple other non prospects.
That's about it, in addition to Singleton and Rizzotti. Not an organizational strength.
PSU makes a good point, though – one of the best things about Hernandez prior to this year was his control of the strike zone. In thte GCL and the NYPL he had just about the same number of walks as Ks. This year he has 9 BBs and 35 Ks for BB rate of 3.7% and a K rate of 16.2%. BB rate was 9.1% and 9.7% past two years. This is something to monitor.
He's really tearing it up in June with a BABIP of .380 with a much lower GB rate and a slightly higher LD rate. I certainly hope he can maintain this level of production, but his May stats look more realistic than his June stats.
phuturephillies says:
Herndandez's K rate has improved in the last 2 months, I believe. April really hurts his overall line, he was dreadful
Catch 22 f/k/a H Man says:
. . . . most likely because he skipped a league. It's not easy going from short season ball to A+ ball. You have to expect a reasonable adjustment period.
I'd wait to see what he does for the rest of the year before we make any judgments on his strike zone judgment skills.
rickyk says:
Wow; Mayberry is up to .262?
pbrluke says:
Reports out of Lehigh Valley, home of the Phillies' Triple A team, had lefthander Juan Perez headed for St. Louis, where the Phillies play the Cardinals on Thursday night. Contreras appears DL bound with sore elbow per Jim Salisbury. Hmmm no Schwimm??
Alan Keiper says:
You want to have all your situational lefties in St. Louis in case Tony Larussa wants to make a trade.
Nicely play Keiper. LaRussa does manage to the beat of his own snare-drum.
DMAR says:
Harold Martinez now known as H-Mart our 3B of the future with a 2-5 night al beit 2K's also. For those of you who have not seen any of his video you have to check him out. He does take some hacks so look out if he figures out how to make more contact.
Steve V says:
That Williamsport team is so intriguing. Martinez, Hudson and Altherr all have the chance to develop into big time prospects. Any word on Quinn signing? I'd love to see him at short or second on this team.
Franco and Jimenez had pretty played well too yesterday
I like Quinn also but he has his Florida State Scholarship as leverage so he might go down to the wire. Also many have questioned his hands and release as a top line line SS. Worst case is he can play center with his speed and plus arm.
But yes we all want a true SS prospect in the system!
marfis says:
Martinez has struck out quite a bit in the early returns. Along with his fellow draft signee Asche who has played 2B. Maikel Franco has played more than Martinez so far. Franco should be the priority at 3B for now, and hope they play both him and Martinez at 3B and DH and alternate every day.
They had Dugan at 1B and an OF of Altherr LF, Hudson CF, and Witer Jimenez in RF. Hope they continue with that alignment as regulars. Since they have to have a SS also they can alternate Taylor Black, Matt Payton , and Drew Hillman. Catcher theycan continue to alternate Stumpo and Francisco Diaz for now.
WPT roster thing : Percival Garner and Bryan Morgado to DL, as draft signee Colton Murray is put on roster.
Don't rain on my parade Marfis HMART is my horse in the 3B race to the bigs. Tongue in cheek of course but you know how it is we all get a guy we like for whatever reason.
The "early returns". 11 at bats. Incredible ur
Yeah,checked, you are right , it has been only 11 AB, but it seems like more though because 6 of them
were Strikeouts. Let's see, let's look up Mikael Franco 20 AB with 0 strikeouts. And that was really the point that Franco should alternate with the highly touted College draftee Martinez at 3B and DH until this becomes clearer.
Andrew Cleveland Alexander says:
Question to throw out there today, in light of May's performance: how do people rank the Clearwater 3? At this point, I'd go May, Cosart, Colvin, just because May seems to have the potential to develop into a dominant pitcher and hasn't had the injury issues that Cosart has. He's had control issues, but personally I'll take those over injury issues, since control can get better over time, and seems to be in May's case.
This may not be just a theoretical question, obviously, because there may come a time when RAJ has to pick one of these guys to send elsewhere to get that elusive right-handed bat.
Supra98x says:
He reminds me of a starters version of Bastardo when he was in the minors… strike out machine (plus plus stuff) but has command issues. IF and this is a semi-big IF, he can keep his BB/9 around 4 for the remainder of the year and next year at AA can manage to get it in the 3's he's going to be a top 15 in MLB prospect with #1 potential. He doesn't have the inury concers as you pointed out, and his pure stuff seems to eclipse that of any other prospect in our system (as witnessed by his 12 k/9 average which hasn't shown signs of slowing yet).
Further, the big jump here for me is AA, more hitter friendly league, and walks will punish him more. If he can get his bb into the 3's next year, i have great confidence in him being the top prospect in our org. as that will show a consistent trend of two strait years with improved command.
Your comparison to Bastardo made me go back and dig up this scouting report on him from when he was at Clearwater. Which was wrong on almost every count, from upside (killer pitch is a changeup?) to downside (command is his strength). Just goes to show that we shouldn't put too much stock in these national righties. I seem to remember Schwimer making a comment in one of his blog posts about laughing every time he heard some writer refer to Mike Stutes as "soft-tossing."
https://phuturephillies.com/2008/04/28/all-bastardo-all-the-time/
Meant to say "national writers"–although I'm suspicious of righties as well.
I think you have to rate Cosart first just because all of the reports say he clearly has the best stuff. Aside from that, I am not sure that we will be able to really get a fix on all of them until they make it through about half a year at AA (probably middle of next year, although I think Colvin might very well start next year at A+). If May continues to strike batters out at the same rate in AA, I'd probably only put him a hair behind Cosart.
On the whole, the system is stacked with starters and relievers. While there is no clear superstar on the horizon (although one or two of them may develop as such), the depth of B+, A- pitching talent is staggering.
Catch, I think if you take control and command into the equation you're probably right. But from a raw stuff perspective, I think may has him beat. By raw stuff I definate that as strike out ability.
The Howling Fantods says:
How would you rate Biddle in comparison to those three? Is it too hard to make a comparison across the two different levels?
The short of it is, we don't know yet. His sample size is too small as he's only pitched 110 innings in his career and it's been across 3 levels (even harder to validate). He's currently in A ball and is only 19 years old. That is certainly a plus for him. His k/9 is around 9 over his short career and he walks too many batters. He came out of Germantown as you probably know so his development is likely to be slow at first with the hope of huge gains later (under-developed/under coached).
That said, Biddle still ranks as a top 10 prospect, but is no where near the level of development of our big 3. He's 2 years behind IMO (yes i know, only 1 level in terms of his arrival in the majors.
He could go either way, his odds of flopping are a bit higher but nothing we have seen so far has caused him to be downgraded. He's just young and relatively inexperienced with a lot of unrealized upside.
Yeah, I posed the question just as the Clearwater guys because they are so even on the merits and on the same level. Throwing in Biddle makes things a bit murkier.
Puddnhead says:
I remember a podcast when May was in his first stint at Lakewood. He took pride in being a bit wild. He said it kept the hitters off balance. Then he had a dose of reality at Clearwater. Now in his second stint at Clearwater he is talking about his command beginning with his fastball setting up his other pitches. An article in MLB today talks about the difference the new bats are causing in college; i.e., now the pitchers who were told to stay clear of the fastball inside to set up the other pitches, are no longer afraid of using it to do just that. It has always been the way to do it. Now May has discovered it. I hope his mechanics become consistent so he can be the top-of-the-line pitcher the Phillies had envisioned when they first saw his stuff. He has to potential to be very good for them.
I'm still unsure why they promoted Aumont last week and didn't just let him close for the rest of the year at Reading. I'm not freaking out over one outing, but 3 BB's scares me more than him giving up a bunch of hits. Anyone catch the game last night? Would love to know whether he was around the plate or looked like a St. Louis Cardinal pitcher in the 8th inning Tuesday. Let's hope for a strong rebound game from him.
I watched the FSL all star game on TV. Cosart's fastball was 94-97. He threw a curve and it was 71. His change was 78-80 and was clearly his worst pitch. May's fastball was 92-93. His curve was excellent coming in at 78. I didn't get to see Pettibone or Rodriguez pitch.
AndyB says:
Interesting on Cosart. Most pitchers need an off-speed pitch (usually change) about 8-10 mph slower than their fastball. Sounds like his off-speed pitches have too much difference at the moment and he really needs a change in the mid 80s. This is stuff he can learn and he has not really had a huge number of pro innings yet.
GregA says:
I always thought that the magic number was 12 mph for the off-speed pitch. Either way, it seems he has some work to do.
NEPP says:
8-10 mph of separation is pretty common and very effective. That's the gap that both Hamels & Madson have between their fastballs & changeups.
15 mph is too much and he's probably telegraphing it with a change in his arm action to take that much off.
This is extremely helpful and what I was looking to see. If May really throws between 92-93, well, it's pretty hard to be a right-handed strikeout pitcher in the major leagues with that velocity. I wonder if he often touches 94-95 – as that, to me, is the speed at which righties generally begin to rack up Ks (Madson, for example, tends to be between 94-96 and even Stutes sits between 93-94).
In any event, if Cosart is 94-97, that's an entirely different class from a low 90s FB and, understandably, would give Cosart a head start on May if you are projecting where they might be in 2 or 3 years.
I'm getting extremely mixed reports on May's fastball… one thing i can say is it clearly has movement which is great. Velo is all over, i've read reports on anything from 89 to 96, I would say concensus is more like 91-93 at this time which is a reason to sour a bit on his results so far. We will see, at some point his rediculous strikeout numbers will either come down or he'll spit in scouts faces. We shall see.
But just to add, it's his K rate that makes him a #1 vs a #3… I can remember a number of pitchers who suddenly jumped from 91/92 to 94/95 (Hamels did it, Madson did it etc…) He's still quite young, and since he's still growing, things may yet come togeather (once he stops and develops an "adult" frame).
Thanks Darren, this matches up with what I have read at other sources like Keith Law, KG, Mike Newman, etc. May is 90-94 and every fastball is different (though perhaps that is changing as he becomes more consistent with mechanics). I've never heard May higher than 94. Cosart is mid-to-upper 90s and generates lots of groundballs. Pretty much each of those scout-type guys (Law, Goldstein, Newman) rates Cosart's raw stuff as better. Plus I think BA gave Cosart's FB a 70 on the 20-80 scale. The story on Cosart is that he needs to develop his secondary pitches. Perhaps May is farther along with his secondaries? Either way, they both look very good and at times look great. I'm happy to have them (plus Colvin and Pettibone) in our system.
Kevin Goldstein has him 92-96 in today's daily dish.
I stand corrected!
Yeah, I have to think that his stuff is pretty good to be getting these sort of ridiculous strikeout numbers. Even at Single A I think guys can catch up to a 90 mph fastball. I also saw him at Lakewood last year an I'm pretty sure I recall him being in the 93-95 range, although of course those ballpark guns are not always so accurate.
BA's Daily Dish had him 90-95. Go figure.

From the klaw chat (thanks to Matthew, whoever you are):
Matthew (Columbia, NJ)
Keith, Trevor May fanned 14 last night. Does he have Ace potential?
Klaw (2:05 PM)
I like May but that's way above his ceiling. And this is his second tour of duty in that league.
I know it's his second tour of duty, but isn't the more relevant observation the fact that he is still entirely age appropriate for the level (and he is)?
No offense to klaw, but his lack of actually baseball experience makes it hard for me to take his analysis farther than entertainment. Just a thought.
You mean Keith Law, the one that worked in the front office for the Blue Jays? That klaw?
There is in some people's minds a notion that there is a division between the "numbers" guys and the "subjective observations" guys. This thread is more proof that this is not really the case. May is arguably more impressive from a purely numbers perspective. Well, that's not strong enough – this year, at least, setting aside the age factor, he is CLEARLY more impressive than Cosart from a purely statistical perspective, and his K rates have always been much better.
But most of the numbers guys, myself included, rank Cosart higher – because of "subjective" factors, or at least non-statistical factors. The whole discussion here is a great example of a smart discussion about prospects, integrating expert scouting opinions, specific observations about specific pitches and statistics.
Of course the fact that Cosart is a year younger enters into it as well.
I do think May has passed Colvin.
Pettibone and J-Rod are two guys who again on a purely statistical basis look better than their reputations. Yet the numbers guys on this site slightly downgrade their chances for non-statistical reasons. (As do I for the same reasons, with the recognition that Pettibone in particular is looking like much more of a prospect this year, as is J-Rod to a somewhat lesser extent..)
Trevor May and Jared Cosart both were out of high school in the draft class of 2008. I guess they would have the same number of years experience pitching?
Sorta. May is 8 months older (so kind of splitting hairs on age) but he got some game action in during 2008 because he signed early compared to Cosart who signed late. So in 2009 Cosart was in the GCL while May had batters running for their lives in the Sally League.
No. May had 12 IP in 2008, around 70 in 2009. Cosart had no IP in 2008, about 24 IP in 2009. May has over 280 IP in the minors versus around 160 for Cosart.
FWIW, May's K number have always been sick, Cosart's "just" very good. OTOH, before this year Cosart's BB numbers were much better. This year their BBs have converged.
As arrogant as I can be, I'm modest with regard to projecting pitchers which is just really hard to do IMO. They are obviously both great prospects; at this point I have no reason not to accept the expert consensus, which is that Cosart is the better prospect.
In the assessment listings of Clwtr starting pitchers above, Pettibone and J-Rod were not included. They were included in our pleasing labeling of some of "The Five" who'd form part of the big team's future rotation.
Asterisk: J-Rod was recently named as NOT having the necessary stuff to be a good MLB pitcher. (?) Pettibone is hailed for his excellent numbers this season, but nevertheless was not included in the best of that staff. (?)
So…aside from the numbers, what is the realistic promise for all of them now…including how long it will be before they "qualify" to compete at the MLB level. (?)
I meant no offense to Pettibone and Rodriguez, who are both having nice seasons. I guess I just meant that those other three are the ones who have consistently ranked high on our prospect lists, usually all of them in the Top 5. The other guys could turn out to be good too, I don't know. But I feel like the other guys tend to get grouped together more.
Nesseth, Pettibone, and Biddle are starting tonight. It's a good time to be a Phils minor league fan.
Nice … From all accounts Nesseth could be a real sleeper prospect!
I read a report that discussed May's change-up vs. his fastball. Basically, it said that while he should have the same mechanics when throwing both, he doesn't, the delivery is different. The writer also said he was tipping his curve, and could easily tell when it was coming.
The article is from February, so obviously he's had time to correct these things, I'm wondering if he has …
The article is from February and it is referencing a game from last season. Let's hope he cleared things up.
I see Tyson Brummett is starting for Lehigh Valley tonight
Romus on Open Discussion: Week of January 13th
