[edit] Nedelle
A product of a father who was a jazz drummer and a mother who was a classical pianist, indie soul singer Nedelle Torrisi, or Nedelle, grew up playing a variety of instruments, including violin, piano, and guitar. She eventually started composing and arranging her own material, which eventually led to her Republic of Two debut, which was released in May of 2003.
Il quarto album di Nedelle Torrisi si intitola I Hate a Mountain ed è uscito il 7 febbraio del 2006 sempre per Kill Rock stars, che ha pubblicato complessivamente tre dei quattro full lenght della songwriter americana. In questi giorni è possibile catturare Nedelle in italia per una serie di concerti che consigliamo a chi non conosce la sua intima comunione musicale tra folk, memphis e il misticismo alla fragola delle Lennon Sisters. Nedelle Torrisi comincia oggi a Milano al Leoncavallo e prosegue domani, 9 giugno a Genova al Madaleine Cafe, l'11 a Roma presso il Linux Club a ingresso gratuito, il 12 a Pesaro nei locali del Moloko, per finire il 13 giugno a Maniago, presso il Ridotto. Da qui pre-ascolto di una traccia tratta da una raccolta KRS e altri suoni sul profilo Myspace di Nedelle.

[edit] "Lettre sur les Aveugles à l'Usage de ceux qui Voient" (1749) written by Denis Diderot
This text was written in 1749 by Denis Diderot. Although he gave it the tittle "letter", it's more than 50 pages long. In fact, it's more an essay than a letter. In this text, Diderot tried to explore the world of the blind and the effect of their senses (and the fact they can't see) on their way of thinking.

[edit] Baseball/Softball Training Equipment "Stub Article"
Baseball/Softball Training aids For many years players of the game of baseball have worked diligently to hone their playing skills. It is readily established by those who study and review sports that hitting a 90+ mph pitch is the most difficult thing to do in athletics. In the last 10 years alone there have been many devices designed and placed on the market to enhance a hitters ability to improve skills. From the early batting tees to soft toss nets to the most elaborate and costly pitching machines which even have curve ball and change-up capabilities have been introduced. Serious players and coaches are almost willing to try any product if they feel it will help hand eye coordination and accurate striking positioning to the ball. Video clips of each player are used now by every major league team to assess changes and areas for improvement in the hitter's body motion to the ball.
Recently Ed Sprague, former World Series winner from the Toronto Blue Jays now coaching UOP Tigers in Stockton had said he purchased a "Hitaway" for his team to work with and indicated it was a complete waste of money as his players "blew it up" the first day they used it. Obviously each device will not be all things to all people as the Hitaway was designed for a more youthful limted practice. With so many products to choose from how do you select the one that will provide the best value for the dollar as well as promote improved hitting? Virtually the only way is to experiment and try several until you find the tool that best universally meets your expectations. One new product on the market now called the Bataround was tried by Steve Sax, former rookie of the year with the L.A. Dodgers was received very positively. Though this is a new item and widely untested he indicated, "I can see the pros using this product". Basically this item has been found to be the most portable and the most challenging device for hitters available for the price. With the Bataround you can create varities of pitches and speeds in an instant which trains the eye following the ball and hand speed to the ball faster than almost all other products on the market. To view the product in this article you can visit www.bataround.com but using it is the only real test of validation.
Skill videos or DVD's have also become a huge part of training for prospective players looking to improve their game in all aspects, hitting, fielding, pitching and baserunning. These are often produced by knowledgable ex-players or coaches who can really describe and lay out effective practice techniques for players to follow. "Hittingworld.com" is just one of the many places to secure highly respected training videos for players to improve development skills from creditable sources.
All in all as long as there is this great game of baseball there will be a need for products and tools for players around the world to work on improving their game. What will be the next new tool out there? Who knows, but one thing for sure, we'll be out there watching for it!
