My computer is running Win XP Pro SP2. I purchased it last year via eBay, no install CD, etc. It's been working fine. Up until just a few days ago, I had it configured to do almost everything automatically, including Windows Updates (Control Panel -> Security Center.) On a lark, I began playing with "Help and Support" -> Updates. Make a long story short, when I tried to check for updates, I had to run a validation scan and I got a message saying I did not have a valid copy of Windows - that it had been installed with a Volume License Key reported stolen or leaked. I was given an opportunity to download something from Microsoft called "legitcheck" which supposedly will make my copy of XP Pro "genuine" and qualify me for "full" Microsoft support. I guess I'm missing something here.
The whole validation and activation thing (WPA, or Windows Product Activation) is pretty confusing. Most folks were very concerned with it when WPA was first introduced, but we rarely hear much about it these days. In general it kinda, sorta works. We're just not always sure why or how.
The original question was actually several, which I'll address in moment. But first, what's it mean when it reports your install as invalid?

Will programs just use all the memory in my computer?
Is it true that the more memory your computer has, the more memory some programs use? I've read several forums where people mention that they have a gigabyte or more of memory and that Firefox, or Quicken, or some other program is using, say, 900 MB. They call those programs memory hogs and say their computers slow down. My 4 1/2 year old WIN XP computer has 394 MB and when I use those programs (the most current versions), they only use a fraction of that amount of memory. For example, I frequently have 10, 20, or even 30 tabs open in Firefox and it remains in a well-behaved 50-70 MB, maybe up to 90 MB range. When and why do you need 1 GB of ram? Is it mostly for games?
There are lots of reasons one might want a gigabyte of memory, but it shouldn't be for something as simple as FireFox. I'd have to agree that someone's a memory hog in that situation, but it might not be FireFox.
Your situation is actually much more common.

One of the very frequent questions I get is about connecting two or more machines, or even networks, across the internet. The most common scenario is when traveling ... you're on the road, and you need to get at that one file that you left at home or at work, on a different computer.
Enter "VPN"s, or Virtual Private Networks.

I was wondering if IE's "History" (using CTRL-H) can be retrieved on my computer somewhere once it's been deleted. Or once it's deleted is it gone? Can you please let me know if I can retrieve the deleted history?
In short - probably not. There are a couple of approaches that might work, if you're lucky, and perhaps desperate enough.
First, we need to locate where the history is kept.

The very short, very easy answer is: hell yes! With all that's hapenning on the internet these days, it's simply too risky to sit "naked" on the internet unless you really know what you're doing.
The real question is: what do you need? It's even possible you already ARE behind a firewall, and don't need anything additional.

Hamachi - Last week I mentioned that I'd be giving Hamachi "The Test" while I was on the road. You can see the result above, as I posted a formal recommendation this week: "Recommendation: Hamachi - Simple Remote Access VPN" - http://ask-leo.com/recommendation_hamachi_simple_remote_access_vpn.html.
It worked perfectly, with one exception - one of the computers I wanted to connect to went into standby shortly after we left home. Whoops. Even Hamachi can't push the power button remotely :-).
Sneak Peek - My friend Randy Cassingham of This Is True (http://thisistrue.com) had a soft launch of a new venture last week: Cranky Customer (http://www.crankycustomer.com).

No Podcast? - You may have noticed there was no podcast this week. Life conspired against me, and I simply ran out of time. I'm coming to realize that time, more than anything else, is perhaps our most precious commodity.


We were already enchanted by the Fürth old town on our way to the meeting point for the walking tour. In glorious sunshine and with summery temperatures small cafés were open for business and people sat outside with their drinks even though it was already October.
Once you let your eyes wander down Gustav street you see Art Nouveau buildings, half-timber houses, sandstone houses and houses with slate facades. Most of these buildings are covered by monument protection and reflect the growth and development of the Fürth old town.
The tour begins at St. Michael's church and is run throughout the entire year by the tourist information centre of Fürth. The tourist information centre is also the place to inquire about dates, times and prices.
The nice weather brought many Fürth explorers to the meeting point. Thankfully, there were also many guides available so that the groups still remained small.
The St. Michael's church is the centre of the old town. The early beginnings of the church date back to 1100. This is when the storage house was built. It is the only building in Fürth that survived the Thirty Year's War. Later, the 45-meter tower was added. I was surprised that this tower was also used for defence and also as a shelter for the people of Fürth. Right next to the church is the rectory, a very lovely and still intact half-timer house.
What is characteristic for the Fürth old town are the many courtyards. With narrow passages that widen towards the back, their shape from atop looks almost like a bag that is lying on the street.
The tour visits some of these courtyards. We follow some old train tracks into a former industrial yard. An old chimney from back then still lives here but the buildings were converted into flats and small shops.
We're told a story about each and every yard we visit. They are annecdotes about who lived there or how the yard got its name. Another courtyard used to have agricultural background, in the next one, we find a red half-timer tower and a Jewish ritual bath. Every courtyard has its own characteristics and tells a different piece of the story about life and history in Fürth.
Next, the tour leads us to Grüner Markt (Green Market). This used to be the centre of political power in the city. There is a fascinating story behind almost every building and here, too, is a courtyard. This one used to be home to a brewery.
The tour comes to an end at the smallest house in Fürth.
The 90 minutes of the tour just flew by. We learned a lot about the history of the city, the industry and life in Fürth. I liked how the historical facts weren't just thrown at us. They were all embedded into stories about locals and about what made the place so special. This was such a fun walking tour and I would really recommend it.
After our tour, our guide Frau Schön takes us into the Fürth Town Hall.
The Fürther Rathaus (Fürth Town Hall) is a landmark of the city and the tallest building in the inner city area. The tower was added some years later and was designed after the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence. About 2000 LEDs light it up at night.
As the building's capacity was no longer sufficient an annexe was added in 1900/01. From the outside, the annexe is nearly indistinguishable from the main building and even inside the only clue where one ends and the other begins is the slightly different floor height of the two buildings.
Through heavy, wooden doors we enter a pompous staircase and then the courtyard of the Town Hall. We continue into the part of the building that holds the stairs to the tower.
We climb more than 200 stairs, past bells and past the small room that the watchmen of the tower used to sit in looking out for potential fires in the city. Frau Schön tells us that these bells ring at 4 minutes past 12 so that their sound isn't obscured by the sound of the bells of the surrounding churches. Another characteristic of these bells is that since 2007 they play the melody of "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin. Not the entire song, of course, but certainly some recognisable parts.
Once on top of the tower, we get to enjoy the lovely view. From up here, we can easily see the development of the inner city area of Fürth. Adjacent to the old town there is a less densely developed, more structured part of the city. Next to that is the area that is allocated to the planned city expansion and behind that the new buildings of the suburbs.
From up here we also have a premium view of the excitement around the stalls of the parish fair. I love getting to see a city from above. It gets even better when you are given such expert information and tips for other excursions.
On our way back through the Town Hall, we briefly stopped by at the assembly room.
The assembly room is in the annexe and doesn't look like a room in which people talk politics. The wooden panelling and the coffered ceiling make the room look dignified and classy. My first association was that this looks more like a courtroom for talking all things law. But political debates just don't go well with this room. A truly remarkable space!
When visiting Fürth on a Sunday, the criminology museum is something not to miss. For a few hours in the afternoon, the small museum the Town Hall's basement opens its doors and presents almost 200 years of Fürth's criminal history.
We were invited to come to the museum and were guided expertly by a retired police officer. It is mostly down to him and his lively personality that we enjoyed the visit to the museum so much. The way he presented the exhibits and talked about his former job made it all very captivating. Thanks a lot!
The museum was created a few years ago with the help of former police officers. Some of the exhibits came, in fact, from the personal belongings of former officers and add a local touch to the museum.
We start at the section about traffic police officers. It is interesting how for example the alcohol test changed over the years. It becomes apparent how these changes affected the everyday tasks of the officers.
We see books in which incidents were documented by hand and I find myself thinking how many aspects of life are easier now because of technology.
The different rooms of the museum focus on different aspects. The topics money and forged money, right-wing extremism, substance abuse and weapons are covered. I am fascinated by a model of a crime scene and the work of the forensics team.
I also like how some parts of the museum deal with real crimes from in and around Fürth. Mostly very old cases, but there was also one case for example that evoked great empathy within the region for quite some time. The cases are described on info panels and the police work revolving around them is transparently explained alongside them.
I learned a lot in the criminology museum Fürth and was truly fascinated by the exhibition.
The city park is at the northeastern outskirts of Fürth. We escaped the excitement of the parish fair and retreated into the beautiful city park. This is a wonderful place for nice walks and to give the soul a little rest.
The rose garden at the Auferstehungskirche (Ascension Church) is particularly beautiful. 80 different rose species bloom on 2400 m². Despite the lack of rain over the last few months some of the flowers were still in bloom when e visited and transformed the park into a sea of colours.
As it was still very warm even though it was already October, we stopped off at the Milchgaststätte (Milk Guesthouse).
What is the city park café today was built in 1951 for the Fürth plant and garden expo by local dairy suppliers. On the facade is a lovely painting that depicts the original milk guesthouse. The building is under monument protection.
A walk around the pond is also very relaxing. We absolutely enjoyed our time off!
Fürth is amazing for going out for drinks. We picked the Grüner Brauhaus (Grüner Brewery) for dinner so that we could enjoy a locally brewed beer with our food.
And here is the first tip: Book ahead if your planning on going with more than two people. It was very busy and the attentive staff tried to find a seat for all guests. But bigger groups ended up having to wait until something became available.
I ordered a typically franconian dish: "Schäufele mit Kartoffelkloß und Bayrischkraut" (Piece of the shoulder with a potato dumpling and coleslaw). To be honest, I had no idea what a Schäufele was and judging by the look on the waiters face that dish isn't ordered all that often. The taste, however, was sensational. The meat was so tender and melted in the mouth. With it we had regional, cloudy beer on tap. The evening was perfect.
Patrick chose something off the daily menu and had a beautiful roast boar with potato dumpling.
The hearty dishes were very much to our taste and the beer was exceptionally smooth. A great finale to our day!
When you get to Fürth, Michaelis Parish Fair will be on. That was one of the first pieces of information we got about Fürth. Okay, parish fair. What is that?
Fürth celebrates the so-called "Fädder Körwa" annually. It is a mix of parish fair and market with stalls, shops, food and rides. Bar and restaurant owners from in and around Fürth sell beer, Federweißer (wine) and Schäufele (piece of the shoulder). And then there is a Thanksgiving parade. That is what I was able to find out. But what waited for us in Fürth was next level.
When I hear street fair I think of one street with some stalls and maybe rides. Far from it! Starting at the central station and covering multiple blocks was a wild mixture of food, rides and shopping that went through the entire inner city. The whole event covers 42000 m² and absolutely everyone will find something to enjoy. As the day went on, more and more visitors came to the street fair and it became very busy. Wedged in between people we walked from stall to stall in the early hours of the evening.
In addition to that, the city also offers some guided tours, live music, a street run and also shops remain open on Sunday.
It all peaks with the Thanksgiving parade.
The history of the Thanksgiving parade starts around 1815. Many harvests didn't return nearly enough food for everyone which resulted in a famine. Despite all that, in the summer of 1817, the very few and sickly seeds that remained grew into a rich harvest. The people of Fürth were enthused and celebrated with a Thanksgiving parade.
A Thanksgiving float was driven through the city for the parish fair.
Since then there is a Thanksgiving parade every year. Over 90 groups and marching bands created a colourful and diverse parade that was moving through the city in the morning.
I had never seen anything like that before. I absolutely fell in love with the traditional clothing. I saw so many beautiful garments. And the men with their leather trousers and their whips were my personal highlight of the parade.
The Thanksgiving parade has left a lasting memory in my head.
We got to visit the criminology museum and the Town Hall free of charge as part of a research trip. That also allowed us to join the walking tour for free. This article exclusively reflects our own opinion and was written independently.

Titan Travel launches Elegant River Cruises for 2012

Top of the wish list: Why Christmas cruising is more popular than ever
What to expect from a cruise holiday

Titan Travel has unveiled its 2012 programme of award-winning river cruises for independent travellers with three brand new itineraries in a brochure that has a fresh, new pictorial style which illustrates more clearly the elegance of the cruise experiences available.
The programme is operated in partnership with Uniworld (the market-leading river cruise company) and offers a world class collection of upmarket cruise options on Uniworld's fleet of floating boutique-style hotels to some of the grandest and most scenic waterways of Europe, Russia, Egypt and Indochina.
In addition to the three brand new itineraries other new developments include an expanded choice of shore excursions in significant ports of call, plus the opportunity for passengers to 'Go Active' and discover their various destinations on foot or by bike.
As might be expected from an Elegant River Cruise, every itinerary features fabulously well-appointed river cruisers, offering comfortable staterooms, sumptuous cuisine and first-class entertainment. Along with a full programme of shore excursions and the services of knowledgeable, English-speaking guides, every passenger receives the VIP Home Departure Service, a door-to-door transfer service that takes them from their own home to join the start of their holiday wherever they live in the UK, including Northern Ireland, the Isle of Wight, Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man. In addition, early-booking discounts are available on every single cruise, providing even better value for money for those customers reserving their holidays in good time.
The new brochure features a total of 30 luxurious river cruise options for independent travellers, including voyages on such fabled waterways as the Danube, Rhine and the mighty River Nile. The three new itineraries lead in with an 8-day discovery of the Gems of Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands. Beginning in Cologne, this journey aboard Uniworld's River Ambassador continues down the Rhine via Maastricht and Antwerp to the captivating city of Brussels. Highlights include the opportunity to visit the much-anticipated Floriade, a World Horticultural Expo that's famed as a once-a-decade floral extravaganza. Next year will see the sixth Floriade, when the Dutch city of Venlo will be swamped with exquisite plants and flowers. Those not wishing to take in the floral displays can opt instead for a walking tour of Venlo. Other points of interest include tasting tours of local breweries and a chocolate demonstration in Brussels. There are 11 possible departure dates between April and September 2012, with prices from £2,099 per person. Bookings made before 30th September 2011 receive a £200 per person early-booking discount, bringing the price down to £1,899 per person.
Brussels also features in the brochure's second brand new itinerary, the 17-day Grand Treasures of Europe, which begins in the Belgian capital and continues upriver through Holland, Germany and on to the Czech Republic. Stops along the way include the charming and atmospheric cities of Antwerp, Venlo (for the Floriade), Cologne and Nuremberg, with a two-night stay in Prague to complete the experience in style. En route, passengers will visit historic churches, Renaissance palaces, fairytale castles and two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, with plenty of chances to taste local wines and relax in tranquil gardens along the way. The holiday costs from £4,199 per person for departures between April and September 2012, on a choice of nine possible dates. Book before 30th September 2011 and receive a £500 per person early-booking discount, bringing the price down to £3,699 per person.
The third new itinerary takes passengers half-way around the world for a journey to uncover the Timeless Wonders of Vietnam, Cambodia & The Mekong. At nearly 5,000km in length, the Mekong is Indochina's longest river and is navigable only in its lower reaches as it flows along the border between Thailand and Laos and on downstream through Cambodia and Vietnam. These latter two countries share a chequered past yet are characterised by their beautiful scenery and fascinating cultures. The cruise takes in each of these countries' most distinctive attractions, starting with a visit to the Cu Chi Tunnels (the famous underground passageways used by the Viet Cong during the Vietnam War) and a chance to meet a wartime veteran. Other memories of a turbulent past can be found in Phnom Penh, the Cambodian capital, where the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum commemorates the terrible atrocities that took place under the violent reign of the Khmer Rouge regime. On a lighter note, other highlights of the 17-day itinerary include visits to peaceful Buddhist monasteries, floating markets and ancient temple complexes, with the undisputed high point being a tour of Angkor Wat, the mysterious, jungle-shrouded temples that are today protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Departures are available year-round on the all-new River Saigon with prices from £4,699 per person. Bookings made before 30th September 2011 receive a £500 per person early-booking discount, bringing the price down to £4,199 per person.
In addition to these new itineraries, the brochure features two other exciting new initiatives. The first is the introduction of 'The Choice is Yours', which allows passengers on the European river cruise itineraries to select between two included shore excursions in key destinations. For example, passengers stopping in Nuremberg can opt between exploring the city's medieval centre or discovering its connections with World War II. In Amsterdam, there's a choice of a full city-tour or a shorter excursion to the Van Gogh Museum; while in Arles, passengers can choose between visiting the iconic bridges or a selection of secret gardens. These choices render the cruise itineraries ideal for passengers with a special interest, or those who've visited a city before and want to experience another element of its appeal. Also new is 'Go Active', an initiative that gives guests the opportunity to discover the various ports of call under their own steam, either on two wheels or their own two feet. Passengers will find bicycles and Nordic walking sticks at their disposal and the on-board Cruise Manager will be able to provide maps, tips and directions to help the more actively-inclined to explore at their own pace.
Commenting on the launch of the new brochure, Dan Whitehouse, Marketing Director, said, "Our river cruises with Uniworld are elegant indeed, combining refined comforts and exceptional levels of service with the high quality and value for money that are synonymous with a Titan holiday. With an average capacity of only 130 passengers per ship, our river cruises never feel crowded - and with all kinds of added extras like state-of-the-art headsets, drinks with meals and even wireless internet being included in the price, passengers can relax in the knowledge that they've secured the most competitive price on the market for their holiday."

Consumption of Traditional Classical Music
By The Mlive On Dec 5, 2016
The phrase "consumption traditional classical music" by different interests has a very wide connotation because we do not mean only the listening public of classical but to a very large number of groups who either directly or indirectly consume traditional classical music. Their role largely lies in manipulating, controlling, directing and sometimes also patronizing tradition Indian music. Our legendary musicians of the past centuries could not have dreamt of such a musical ethos and may have found it almost impossible to survive in such a bewildering situation along with their traditional classical music.
The serious listeners of traditional Indian classical music are no doubt important but somehow or other they are being relegated to the background. Their numbers are not only dwindling but there is less and less concern now for their maturity of understanding and their responses and reactions to present day styles of classical musical presentation. The true classicist is admittedly having rather a difficult time in such conditions.
In the present situation, one must concede that the greatest single consumer of traditional classical music and perhaps socially and financially the most relevant is the "advertiser". Were it not for advertising, many public musical functions would not have been financially possible. Advertisement has not only merely made unpaid admissions into classical music concerts possible but also made possible the engagement at very high fees of professional musicians. In the business world, this is today not considered as a mere advertisement but a useful strategy in promoting good public relations. Along with promotion of classical music goes promotion of commercial products also. Many commercial organizations have been found to go a step forward by generously donating to various "Relief Funds" and 'Trusts" in fulfillment of what might be described as their social responsibilities. Along with traditional classical music, cultural programme has become a necessary appendage. Many classical music recitals by many artists in cities like Delhi, Calcutta, Bombay and Madras are sponsored by organizations that have nothing to do with music. They are basically interested in celebrating themselves through cultural events. Apart from regular concerts and conferences, there is a plethora of functions like celebration of anniversaries of musicians, awarding of titles, purses etc.
Another very important consumer of traditional classical music is undoubtedly the Government. Apart from owning a very large network of Radio Stations and Television Stations, music is now looked upon as a strong force of cultural integration in the country. The Government establishment in promoting traditional Indian music supports very large number of people in various Ministries, Directorates and State Governments. Traditional Classical musicians, having the necessary contacts, also find place in goodwill missions where they present themselves as cultural Ambassadors of the country.
The owners of gramophone records and cassettes or those owning record, cd, cassette libraries are amongst the serious consumers of classical music. Often they organize serious listening sessions and try to bring back to life the classical music of the musical giants of the past. They also set the stage for drawing comparisons of styles and art forms, highlighting the special qualities of artists of gharana styles. One wishes that the tribe of such serious minded persons increases. They and their records can form the best possible and the most dependable link between the classical music of the early part of the current Century and the present.
We have referred, earlier, to the significant and economically decisive role played by the "advertisers" group as consumers of traditional Indian classical music. Behind them, but of greater vintage, come the established organizers of 'Music Conferences' whether as single individuals or groups of individuals or as Associations or Institutions. They hold conferences every year almost as annual rituals, to which they invite musical celebrities and performers senior, junior and the up and coming artists. There are no yardsticks of selection as such but some conventions only. A celebrity or two is a must mainly as box office draw. Then there is a balancing of vocalists, instrumentalists, and often a dance item. There is also a group of accompanists of various types. The organizers of conferences generally have an attractive name for their conference and their finances depend upon donations, souvenir-advertisements and finally sale of tickets. The anatomy and the goings on in these Conferences would make a fascinating study. As consumers of traditional music, it is sufficient to note here that they have now become a commercial proposition. Both individuals and institutions in this group make a living out of these conferences. The patronage of classical music or encouragement of talent or promotion of serious authentic music and its listening are only incidental irrespective of whatever may be generally professed.
In this field also there are big organizers, small organizers and some of the "Classical Music Circles". Like the music schools there has lately been a mushrooming of these music circles with organizers who, in the present competive conditions, are trying to find out and establish an identity of their own. It is good to be an impresario, or a promoter, or organizer, or even an office bearer in some institution or circle according to one's ability, connections or pull. As things are now developing, one's "musical presence" must be made known (whether as performer or organizer) to be able to forge ahead in fresh fields and pastures new of the great world of classical music. That is perhaps why in every leading city; even professional performers of music have their own small circle or institution. Between these institutions there is "an exchange" of artists who perform on reciprocal basis. This is how music is exchanged and performers get exposed to new environments. It is a regular quid pro quo business. An classical artist today thus needs a sponsor or promoter to be able to come into circulation in the field of music. Present day economic conditions have thrown young men and women artists early in-to the world and they have to learn to swim with the times or get pushed to the sidelines and wait patiently for another break or lucky turn of events. A traditional musician of today has necessarily to be a combination of talent, training, contacts, opportunity, and courage and finally luck.
The foreign returned artist appears to enjoy a special status symbol. At least he is considered to have had the benefit of foreign exposure and has been able to treat foreigners, belonging to a totally different cultural ethos, to the refinements of Indian Raga music. It is debatable how and why such exposure should be accepted as a basis for extra recognition. He can of course be credited with having gained more experience in the field of classical musical performance before varied audiences.
Today's classical musicians do not succeed or survive on the basis of merit and performance alone. Much more important factor is the extent of contacts and the circle of acquaintance which the musicians are able to cultivate. This can be extrapolated as the dignified but camouflaged art of "managing" organizers and securing bookings at different concerts and programmes. Sometimes Newspaper music critics are also very affectionately cultivated not so much for their love of music or depth of understanding, but for the publicity coverage they can give to classical musicians of their choice or liking.

A future Mets bidding war we could see with the Phillies
Boston Red Sox v New York Yankees / Elsa/GettyImages
Whether it's over the summer or next winter, there is already a bidding war between the New York Mets and the rival Philadelphia Phillies brewing.
Don't worry if you have your eyes set on Shohei Ohtani. It's not him. It's another player Mets fans have been thinking about these days. We're Wolverine. He's the guy in picture held by the clawed X-Men character.
Up in Boston, the Red Sox are angering fans. Letting Xander Bogaerts leave could be a precursor to Rafael Devers becoming available, too. The star third baseman could now be on the trade block. Boston would be unlikely to trade him away now out of fear of completely alienating the fanbase. What about next July when they're 20 games out of a playoff spot and Devers has gone public that he'd like to leave?
The Mets and Phillies are both a match for star third baseman Rafael Devers
Third base has been one of the hardest positions for the Mets to fill since their beginning. David Wright is an outlier. No one else has come close to the production he gave this team for the number of years he did.
Ever since the Captain has been gone, the Mets have filled the position with a variety of different players. Todd Frazier. Eduardo Escobar. A returning Jose Reyes. They've all started at third base frequently for the team as have many other projects. Many are hopeful Brett Baty eventually becomes the savior at the hot corner. Is he ready to help carry the offense in 2023?
The Phillies have their own third base issues. Alec Bohm seemed to find some semblance of success last year, but he plays horrific defense and doesn't have much pop. Third basemen need to have at least one of those qualities. Their desire to upgrade the position could push them toward a mid-season trade for Devers.
The offseason may work a little differently for these two clubs. The Mets will be focused on Ohtani, allowing the Phillies to more freely pursue a mega-deal with Devers. A bidding war between the two NL East rivals may only take place in the middle of 2023 as they look for a short-term upgrade on offense. The question will be, what's an acceptable price for a short-term player?
Devers makes more sense for the Mets for the latter part of 2023 if they aren't getting enough out of other players. The Phillies are a more ideal place after the 2023 season when they could let Rhys Hoskins leave and move Bohm over to first base.
Devers is one player Mets fans will definitely keep tabs on for the duration of the 2023 season. One of the least consistent positions on the field for the club in 2022, he could be the superstar addition at the trade deadline the club seeks.
Next. Mets starting lineup of the greats. dark


Bryce Harper and Manny Machado remain unsigned. While pitchers and gatherers are starting to report this week in Arizona and Florida, this remains the great story of all the majors, an ugly stain on what is otherwise a happy time of year: the return of baseball.
The sale was clearly not 100 percent at the end of last season, when his speed was low in the postseason and Alex Cora passed him to kick off David Price for a short rest in Game 5 of the World Series. Sale launched the final inning of that game (and beat the side), so perhaps all he needed was an offseason of rest. It is also entering its year of walking, which adds intrigue.
Yes, 108 wins and a World Series title will keep fans excited – even if Boston is a football city now.
Can you still play? Does it matter even if the Yankees sign DJ LeMahieu and can slide Gleyber Torres down to reach the shortstop and play LeMahieu on the second until Didi Gregorius returns? Any value that Tulo will provide is basically a bonus, but if he can play, he gives the Yankees more roster flexibility with LeMahieu playing more positions.
Yes, Yankees fans wanted Manny Machado or Bryce Harper. They still have Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, Torres, Miguel Andujar, the best bullpen in the game and a spin that added James Paxton and J.A. Happ (for a whole season) on top of Luis Severino and Masahiro Tanaka.
The Rays are one of the most fascinating organizations, up to the secondary camps, where the superstud Wander Franco is a must see. In the field of the great league, the roster is incredibly deep but lacks a big star in attack (even if you keep eye on Tommy Pham, who snatched him after coming from St. Louis). The meadows, acquired by the Pirates last summer, have always been one of the best prospects despite numerous injuries. Perhaps everything will meet for him in Tampa.
Go see this team, Rays fans!
He could be the spring training history, given that the man-child prodigy (did not turn 20 until March 16) is preparing for his first major season of the season. Of course, the Jays will keep him in the minors for 10 days to work on his defense, but Vladdy will immediately start to impale baseball when he arrives in Toronto.
Outside of Guerrero, the Jays will need years of return from Marcus Stroman and Aaron Sanchez to generate a bit of excitement on the field.
He is a new general manager in Mike Elias, a Maryland native who comes from the Astros. The new coach is the former Cubs bench coach, Brandon Hyde. Unfortunately, most of the players on a 115 loss team are the same.
In this division, they could lose 115 again.
Of course, the great story has just been interrupted on Friday with the calf injury of Francisco Lindor, but since apparently now missing most or all of the spring training, let's move to the outfield – that, to put it in a nice way, is a mess. FanGraphs projects in the Indians 29 ° in the left field WAR, 23 ° in the central field and 27 ° in the right field. The plan is to mix and match, but the Indians must really hope that someone like Jordan Luplow or the debutant Oscar Mercado will surprise in the field and prove better than the projections.
The Indians have the rotation to bring the team into a playoff point in a weak division, but there is not much margin for injuries. The inability to face the outfield or the bullpen – while cutting costs – has left the Indian fans frustrated despite three consecutive titles.
In 2017 they were worth 7.7 WAR, and the twins won 85 games and a wild card anchor. In 2018 they were worth a combination of 0.8 less WAR, and the twins went down to 78-84. They need to be both healthy in 2019 after fighting injuries.
The twins have not been completely inactive; they signed Nelson Cruz and Jonathan Schoop for a year's business without risk. The twins, however, still sit about $ 30 million below last year's payroll and $ 91 million below the luxury tax threshold without long-term commitments. They could play in the Harper / Machado market – or on the second level – and choose not to.
Miggy was actually quite productive last year – .299 / .395 / .448 – before breaking the biceps after 38 games and losing the rest of the season. He had back problems the season before. Even if he is no longer at the top of Miggy, the Tigers need a healthy Miggy.
Guess the old videos of Justin Verlander, Max Scherzer and Rick Porcello who face the rotation of the Tigers.
. After striking .337 / .384 / .577 with 22 home runs on two levels of minors, Jimenez is ready for the South Side. He has power without much beating, which will make him an impact beater from the start.
The White Sox should be better – it would help if Yoan Moncada could figure out things in the pot – but this will only go up if the White Sox actually landed Machado after trading for his brother-in-law Yonder Alonso and for signing the 39; friend Jon Jay.
Yes, we're digging deep here, but do you remember Zimmer? It was the fifth general retreat in the 2012 draft, but could not remain healthy and never reached the majors. The Royal appointed him for the mission last spring, signed him back to a minor league contract and sent him to the Driveline baseball facility outside Seattle. He spent the whole season there, he returned to the Royals throwing 94 to 97 mph and now he is back on the list of 40 men.
This is a story to be rooted, but the Royals are still coming out of a season of 104 losses.
The Astros have signed Wade Miley and will transfer Collin McHugh to the rotation, but keep eye on Forrest Whitley and Josh James also to support Verlander and Gerrit Cole. Whitley is Keith Law's best perspective and should be ready to make an impact after a couple of months in Triple-A. We saw for the last time the James who threw a hard throw out of the bullpen in the postseason (where he broke 100 mph), and was able to win a job during spring training. Behind these two, you also have Framber Valdez and Cionel Perez.
We could have named Carlos Correa after his injury, tormented in 2018. He was a guy a guy who forgot last year and you know he's motivated to rebound.
The 21-year-old southpaw went through three levels of minors last season to become one of the best prospects for launching the game. If it can have an impact, perhaps the rotation of Oakland will not be as bad as everyone thinks.
I mean … A has improved 22 games and participation has risen to 1,200 fans in a game of 1,573,616 total. Which is nothing, but the A attracted only 2 million once in 2005. The offseason was a typical slew of low-budget maneuvers. Hey, it worked last year.
It is the last call for Felix Hernandez and, at least for a few weeks, Ichiro Suzuki, but if there is something to keep in mind in spring training, it is the guys the Mariners have acquired in the offseason: Justus Sheffield, JP Crawford, Justin Dunn, Erik Swanson, Shed Long (with Jarred Kelenic in the minor league), as well as Japanese left-handed Yusei Kikuchi. If all goes well, Kikuchi, Sheffield, Dunn and Swanson will all be in the rotation after the All-Star break. Or maybe this means that everything went wrong.
The Mariners fans did not exactly boast that Jerry Dipoto traded all his best players (except Mitch Haniger), but the smart guy understood the reasoning. Count the nights of King Felix; they could be at the end.
All we know at this point: will not jump in 2019 and will not be ready for the Opening Day. Beyond that, we hope for a quick return and 500 plate appearances as a designated hitter.
You can certainly argue that the Angels would have been better at bringing a famous player – imagine a left side of the infield with Machado and Andrelton Simmons – rather than the piecemeal approach with Matt Harvey, Trevor Cahill, Cody Allen, etc. .
The Rangers are risking Drew Smyly (missing the last two seasons), Edinson Volquez (missed last year) and Shelby Miller (16 innings last year). They also signed Lance Lynn. So this could be a really good spin if you're playing a sim championship 2015.
Who are the Cowboys going to draft?
The Braves have signed Josh Donaldson, have called Brian McCann, and all the young starting pitchers – both those already in the majors and in those close – will be exciting, but in an offseason when the Braves refused to swing for the fences, it's all on Acuna. He immediately became one of the most addictive players in the game as a rookie, and after his monster in the second half – he was third in the OPS majors – there's a question: can he be MVP?
Imagine if they actually signed Harper or traded for J.T. Realmuto, as they should have done.
With a return to D.C. unlikely for Harper, the Nationals certainly did not hesitate to improve their roster: $ 140 million for Patrick Corbin, replacing the dead weight at the catcher with Yan Gomes and Kurt Suzuki, signing Anibal Sanchez and Brian Dozier; handle bullpen pieces in Trevor Rosenthal and Kyle Barraclough. Mostly, I just want to see the shot of Juan Soto.
It is not an election year and the nationals look good on paper, but there will be a post-Bryce malaise. Win the division and Harper will be the news yesterday.
It's still Philly's big question, even after Realmuto's offseason additions, Andrew McCutchen, Jean Segura and David Robertson.
Philly is a tough crowd and fans want Machado or Harper.
The Robinson Cano-Edwin Diaz trade was seen with mixed emotions by many Mets fans, who apparently saw Jarred Kelenic as the next Mickey Mantle or something. The Mets also signed Jed Lowrie and Wilson Ramos and acquired Keon Broxton. They are more profound than last year (although another initial launcher would have been nice) and certainly more interesting.
The new GM Brodie Van Wagenen exudes confidence, and is partly rubbing on the Mets fans.
In 2017, this sinking of a franchise had a lineup with the MVP of 2017 NL, the MVP of 2018 NL, plus Realmuto, Marcell Ozuna, Dee Gordon and Justin Bour. Now they have … umm, Austin Dean, JT Riddle and Peter O & Brien. Do not choose a player here, but take O Brien. Apparently he is the first starting baseman (although he might end up being Walker or Garrett Cooper), he is 28, and while he had an .8838 OPS in 74 PAs with Marlins in 2018, he hit 0.216 in minors. He hit .191 in minors of the first season. His strike rate during those two seasons was 34% – in minors. It will be another long season (although to be honest, the rotation could be almost respectable if all goes well).
There are a lot of things to do here, from the second base battle to Brandon Woodruff and Corbin Burnes who potentially move from the bullpen to the rotation for Christian Yelich's MVP encore. But all eyes will be on Nelson, the team's best debutant in 2017 who lost all of 2018 after injuring his shoulder at the bases in late 2017. He recently tweeted: "I'm in the best place I've been in the past 17 months "and that has never been more excited for spring training.
They were a World Series victory last season, and the country's most underrated baseball city is set for a great summer.
The Cubs have lost the NL Central tie breaker game for the Brewers, and there's no doubt that with a healthy Darvish they would not have been in that game in the first place. Darvish had a stress reaction at the elbow and did only eight starts, but is already throwing the bulls in Arizona and said he felt good after a recent session of 45 shots.
Four direct playoff trips and an average of 97 wins per season, but 2016 seems like so long ago for a group of Cubs fans.
Yes, Paul Goldschmidt's business should give a nice boost, and Andrew Miller – assuming he can avoid the injured list – will strengthen the bullpen. But it will be curious to see how the ex-uber-prospect seems to be missing almost all the seasons. Although Reyes begins the season in relief, he has the potential to be the team's first place in the first place in the playoffs.
After missing the playoffs for three seasons in a row, a division title would be enough for Cardinals Nation.
In his second full season, Williams finished 14-10 with an ERA 3.11, including a remarkable comeback in the last 13 starts when he released an ERA from 1.29 and had eight outings without a score. It does not throw heavily or accumulate the strikeouts, so we'll see if it manages to repeat its successful success story. If so, maybe the Pirates have a chance to surprise.
I feel that in these days no fan is happier than that of Pittsburgh – and with good reason after the property has not done anything (yet) after a season of 82 victories while watching the other teams of the NL make moves. Participation decreased by nearly 500,000 in 2018, although the team was better and could shrink again. There are ramifications in keeping your money locked up in a bank vault instead of spending it on talent.
Unlike the Pirates, the Reds have had enough losses, and have done a lot of "win-now" moves, especially acquiring the contract between Puig, Alex Wood and Matt Kemp from the Dodgers. Top prospect Nick Senzel should be ready to make an impact as well. All eyes, however, will be on Puig. There is almost no bigger contrast in the cities than in L.A. and Cincinnati, and how does he fit and perform – will he pigtail or play with a chip on his shoulder? – it will be a story to watch throughout the season.
For the first time in five years, Reds fans are cautiously optimistic, but they know it's a difficult division.
I know, it's two things, but they're both important! The return of Seager from Tommy John surgery is obviously one of the greatest spring training stories. But I'm fascinated to see if Urias is ready to make a big impact; recalls, before his shoulder operation in 2017, it was probably the best launching point in baseball. He returned at the end of 2018 and the Dodgers put him on the playoff list, even though he only cast four innings in the regular season. He is only 22 and could be one of those many rotating pieces for the Dodgers.
It should be a 5, but Dodgers fans are doing a lot of whining for not signing Harper.
I'm a big Hampson fan, the fast infielder that hit .311 on two levels of minors while he slid 36 bases in 41 attempts. He also played a few games in the middle, and with Charlie Blackmon moved to the left, Hampson will definitely have some time in the outside court. Frankly, I'd like to see him out there and Ryan McMahon on the second (hold the fort until Brendan Rodgers is ready) and much less than Ian Desmond.
There are some frayed nerves waiting to see if Nolan Arenado will sign an extension, but after two seasons of straight wild cards, Rocky Mountain fans should be pumped for 2019.
The D-backs hope to get a coup with Kelly, similar to what the Cardinals did last year when they snatched Miles Mikolas from Japan. Kelly, a former Rays laborer, has spent the last four seasons in Korea, and will suffer a break in replacing Patrick Corbin in the rotation.
The franchise icon has disappeared. Corbin is gone. A.J. Pollock signed with a division rival. I would say this will affect participation, but Diamondbacks seem to attract from 2 million to 2.2 million, regardless of how good or bad the team is.
. The six-time All-Star should be ready for the Opening Day after hip surgery in August. The power of Posey has been weakened last season because he could not explode through the area with his swing, so the hope is that he will return healthy and hit again .300. Even when he was healthy for the last time in 2017, Posey only started 96 games at the catcher and 30 at the first base, so he is likely to split even more time between the two positions.
Giants are old and bad and their breeding system is weak. But Scottsdale in March is still a great place to go.
. Unfortunately, it was an offseason of a lot of talk and no action for the Padres. They were on Harper and Machado and questioned Realmuto, but their biggest move was the signature of Garrett Richards, who could not even place in 2019 while recovering from Tommy John's surgery. However, the Padres should have one of the most intriguing fields because of their first order breeding system (and Fernando Tatis Jr. in particular), as well as young people already in sight such as Franmil Reyes and Franchy Cordero.
The excitement was a bit mitigated by the lack of a big move, but the Padres are rightly the most hopeful they have been in years.

The manager of McDonald's in Monifieth has said it is a "miracle" no one was injured when a group of youths caused an aerosol can to explode inside the restaurant.
Franchisee Nick McPartland said the youngsters were igniting spray from the aerosol inside the fast food outlet at Ethiebeaton Park when one of them accidentally caused the entire can to explode.
Mr McPartland said: "A group of youths set light to an aerosol can in the dining area in our McDonald's restaurant at Ethiebeaton Park.
"There followed a large explosion. By some miracle nobody was injured.
Mr McPartland said he was making details of the incident public because of concerns about antisocial behaviour in Monifieth.
Earlier this week a wheelie bin was dragged on to the town's skate park and set alight.
Mr McPartland added: "Our restaurant is a friendly and safe environment for people to enjoy themselves.
Inspector Gary Aitken of Police Scotland's Tayside Division said: "We are aware of the incident and it is concerning.
The incident is the latest in a series of disturbances involving youngsters in Dundee and Angus.

In 1941 food was severely rationed. This is a picture of the weekly amount of basic food the government allowed per adult. It led to many people being very creative with what they could cook for their families. Everyone was given a ration book with coupons to buy their allowance in their local shops. Kinghams in Watford was one of the shops to supply many people in the local area but there was seldom enough to go round!

Wednesday afternoon the International Olympic Committee announced that it has approved the addition of five sports for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, with skateboarding and surfing due to make their respective Olympic debuts. Also making the cut were baseball/softball, karate and sports climbing. While baseball and softball are obviously two separate sports, their bid was a joint bid hence their approval as a single entity.
Baseball and softball were both removed from the Olympics following the 2008 Summer Olympics in Bejing, with baseball having made its debut as an official Olympic sport in 1992. Softball made its debut as an Olympic sport in 1996 in Atlanta. While those two sports have prior history in the Summer Olympics, the other four sports added Wednesday do not. Karate joins tae kwon do and judo as martial arts in the Summer Olympics, with tae kwon do making its official debut in 2000 and judo doing so way back in 1972 (judo was part of the 1964 Summer Olympics program, but not in 1968).
There was no shortage of positive reactions on Twitter to the additions of these sports, as one would expect.
Unanimously approved. Baseball and softball are back on the Olympic Programme for #Tokyo2020!

But when… I can't read Salammbô and I don't think many people can, now, actually. And The Temptation of St Anthony, which he thought was much more important than Madame Bovary.
[Q] What's so good about Madame Bovary, do you think?
I think… well, there, I think it really is… I never really thought of it in terms of the style and the language. There, I did think it was the story. I was very fascinated by this… always have been, by the story of this unfortunate, silly woman.
[Q] Silly woman?
Silly woman, yes. Romantic woman.
[Q] Is that silly, to be romantic?
To me, being over-romantic is silly, but I'm very unromantic.
[Q] Have you always been that way?
I think I've always been that way inclined, yes. I mean, when I was young, I was romantic. When I was a child, I was romantic. I suppose in my teens, I loved ridiculous romantic novels then. They were lovely. I wanted… you know, the idea of the splendid, dark, fatal hero, when one was about 15 or 16, was perfect. But I didn't last feeling like that, really. Mr Rochester. I don't think I would have fallen for Mr Rochester after I'd got a little bit older.

Zoe7 is a multi-dimensional synergy personality cluster who inhabits the body and mind of consciousness researcher, Joseph Marti. (The other five personalities are: Max McCullan, Ebhrious, Jiebro, Kzark Prestidius, and Lee Steel.) His book, Into The Void Exploring Consciousness, Hyperspace and Beyond Using Brain Technology, Psychedelics and Altered-Mind States, depicts Marti's experiments with mind machines, entheogens, and psychological time travel, how the Zoe7 cluster came to be, as well as new theories on parallel universes and probable Earths, the mechanics of reality and existence, and the mind of God.
Hello Lorenzo, This is Alleen Marti, Im Zoe sister, I wanted to let you know we lost my brother July 15th, 2013 in Brazil. I still can't believe it he had some many new projects.
