Home, Sweet, Home……GO DODGERS, GO!!!!!!!
The Pen is the Hindenburg! Catching on fire and then blowing up.
O the humanity!
Very good assessment, Dodger32!
Let's not leave out the starting pitching either with the exception of Kuroda. Padilla just plain sucks. Kersh wasn't sharp. Billz was shaky. And strikeouts or no, Haeger everytime his team scored gave the runs right back in the bottom of the same inning.
This pitching staff stinks on ice, and we have only to look at one man for the reason – Ned. Ortiz & Ortiz? Why not let Lindblom or Elbert or McDonald gain some experience instead?
Best thing in the world would be for this team to finish dead last and attendance to dip to under 2.75 mil, then maybe we'd get some real change where its needed – in the front office.
Happy Opening Day Josh!
Happy OPening DAy Dodger fans!!!!
No time for anything but listen to Nancy Bea's cd this morning and get ready. Last night I finished getting my outfit ready!!
Is a beautiful day for a ballgame…….
Is the most wonderful day of the year!!!
Happy Opening Day Josh!
Happy OPening DAy Dodger fans!!!!
No time for anything but listen to Nancy Bea's cd this morning and get ready. Last night I finished getting my outfit ready!!
Is a beautiful day for a ballgame…….
Is the most wonderful day of the year!!!
Then again it doesn't look like attendance will dip anytime soon…
I'll bet it does on Sundays and day games after night games, Enchanted. I know for sure, Nellyjune and I will never go to a Sunday game.
I'll be there for every Sunday! my routine is breakfast close to the stadium and then head to Our Lady of Chavez Ravine!
Well, I'm usually upbeat and optimistic come Opening Day every year (despite my negative rants!), but it feels different this year and I don't if it's the McTurds or what. We didn't make any effort to keep decent pitchers or acquire any in the offseason and although I think Bellisario & Kuowill help once back, the starting pitching is going to kill the team.
I do think the hitters are going to do well this year – when Torre plays them and doesn't change the batting order every day so they can get in a rhythm…
I agree with trublu: Why go to any day games after night games? I would be uneasy about attending any game that precedes an off day as well.
Anyone going to Dodger games this year please remember to chany "VINNY" before the Dodgers bat in the 4th inning!!
chany = chant
This week could make me forget last week, we need to beat our NL west foes.
It's funny because the Sunday game against the Marlins only sat one starter, their catcher, which I completely understand, but giving half your starting lineup the day off in the first week of the season is a little much. If this trend of Sundays and days games becomes habit for Joe, then IMO unless you are a season ticket holder for the Dodgers, then I don't foresee anybody else buying single tickets for a Sunday or a day game (Opening Day being the exception). It's just not worth the price to see the 2nd stringers out on the field. If I want that, then I can just go see the Grizzlies or the RiverCats play. At least there I know I am getting my money's worth.
……let me add that was "twice" in the first week of baseball half our starting lineup sat the bench.
I think the VINNY CHANT is an awesome thing….should really make him know how much we all love him.
Welcome Home Boys! Hope the cheering of the crowd help turns thing around….LET'S GET OUR WINNING STREAK STARTED!
I feel the exact same way Scott. I can't muster any enthusiasm whatsoever for this season, and I think it all stems from the team being so close to their goal and management not giving a damn to get them the rest of the way. Other teams get Lackey, Santana and Sabathia. We get Padilla, Milton and Wolf.
Perhaps what we need to rally behind is a franchise slogan like the Raders' "Commitment to Excellence."
Maybe ours can be "Commitment to Mediocrity" or "Commitment to Greed."
How about, "Commitment to Real Estate"?
Nice lineup. I dare Torre to use the same one tomorrow.
The blog seems to be on Mountain time for some reason…
Torre uing the same lineup two days in a row….no chance, Scott!
Scott – the time clock has been increasing by 1 minute every three or four days for all of the off-season. The last time I checked it was 53 minutes ahead of pst. Dodgereric has a theory that it will hit one hour on May 22nd at 5:06. A pool will begin when it reaches 55 minutes I believe. Some of us believe this clock issue is the reason behind our submission error and redirecting issues where some of us are unable to post at all.
10:47 am (pst)
JOSH seen you this morning being interviewed by KTLA. Dodger Stadium looking beautiful as always, even at 5:30in the morning!
Thanks Nelly. Good to see your beloved Andre is back in the starting lineup!
Nelly – But the midgets have won the west already! You did 't know that?!!
I just smile and remind them it's a long season and that I recall them saying the same last year when Manny was suspended.
That usually does the trick.
I of course have to deal with all the comments on FB. It hasn't been to bad yet but it will get worse if the seassons progresses as it has thus far.
I don't let it bother me all that much. I just wish that the situation with the Blue was different. I mean we have been so close the last 2 years to getting a championship to not make the moves to improve.
Being on the cusp of something great and knowing what was needed to get over the top but not getting it is a bummer. There wasn't that much in the way of pitching in the FA market this year but I think they could of gotten Halliday, without touching anyone on the roster. IMO…
That being said I still love this team and the players and wish them luck & as D4 says "Bring the Ring to the Ravine" in 2010!!!
Good start for Kersh!
Hiya Everybody
I remember this kid Ian Kennedy when he came up with Phil Hughes, Hughes is now the Yankee 5th starter and Kennedy's here.
Speaking about the Yankees I watch their ring ceremony and
I have to say, I liked it.
I kept substituting a Dodger for each recipient.
It's a great ceremony and I wish the Dodgers could be on national TV, so I can watch theirs, whenever that will be.
Well it's the Dodger's home opener.
I missed it last year, I was at the Met's Citi Field Inaugural.
Who knew what O.Dawg was going to do?
Hope the Dodgers and Kershaw can get the winning going today.
Happy opening day everyone!
This is the first time I have seen them bring all the Dodger employees that have something to do with the players on the field along with the players themselves.
The big flag is on the field and the four Navy planes just flew over.
Play ball!
Hi 32and53fan.
They showed that on MLB.TV, I mean the flyover and the smoke screen.
Furcal and kemp seem impatient at the plate. Good news Kid-K did not walk anyone
Ok, lead off walks to the 8-9 hitters to start the 5th???
Collie – yea, you and Dodge16 put up with the most with your fellow gnats fans on facebook. The best one yesterday was on Dodge16's. One of his commenters said the gnats already played a "real" team, talking about the Braves. I was quick to point out that the "real" team just got beat 17-2 by the Padres – LOL!!!!
So Kid K with 4 K, 1 BB and 1 H through the first three frames… what more could you ask for on Dodger's Opening Da
Nice piece of hitting by Russell drawing first blood.
Mattie fooled. Bummer, 10th SO in 7 games (meaning he is on well on his way for around 231 SO's this season!)
(sorry for the delay, stoopid MLB.tv froze my web browser no less than 3 times in the last 10 mins!) Way to go Mattie! Nice way to bounce of the Kennedy K from the third inning with the solo jack! Looks like I am missing one helleva Opening Day at Chavez Ravine!
Alright, SIXTH K for Kid KKKKKK!!!!!!!
Thanks 32and53fan, seeing ManRam hit it above the 385-390 zone, I actually thought it landed a little further up. Guess 435 sounds about right…
BTW, I can't no longer hear Vin on TV here at the local sports bar (up here in Giants/A's country) because the kitchen music is so freakin' loud!
The walk works but a RBI basehit knock from Mussel Frohawk would sure be nice!
Notice how hard Raffy hit those two flyouts, real solid eh?
Clayton, 6 Ks RBI single to Chris Young, next goal? Getting through the 5th.
Yaaaa MANNY.
Yeah Manny!!!
After a 2-2 count, ManRam gets a good look and knocks out the solo HR!!!
Casey's turn – alright!!!
BEARD(LESS) POWERS BABY Caset knocks out a 2-run HR!!! SWEET.
CASEY lowered the BOOM, after Loney's two bagger.
No place like home.
Now I see why Torre wanted Kershaw to pitch the home opened. He's just a better home pitcher than road pitcher.
Can't believe people are trashing Dewitt and wanted Belliard to start now on the main board but he know how to work the walk.
Incidentally I got my 1st World Championship anniversary Dodger's 55 since '55 patch, I got two and one sticks to my refrigerator.
Furky with the WEB GEM! From his back baby!
Crap….come on Kersh!
Good job getting the runner at the plate . . . .
Geez so much for that crap walking the lead off hit and the pitchers.
Whew!!!!! It's way too early in the season to be nibbling on fingernails 🙂 BTW, hi Tru, Shad, and OBF.
We just can't seem to get a shut down inning after we score is it really that hard to ask for?
So what was the ManRam HR measured at? I guessed 440-450 feet!
You know he waited to do that so I could watch!!!! WAY TO GO ANDRE!!!!!!
Attaway to go Clayton, 5 innings. He made through.
He's going for his first win this year.
He's got a chance if the bullpen holds up.
MATTY'S 2nd HR
This is a real great time to be on regular time…………….CAN WE FIX THIS PLEASE!!!!
Hi sparkle. How did Dewitt make an out?
And, a single from Andre!!!!
I am way up here and the comment is on Andre's 3-run homerun……….not his single :)))
As I type that Kemp homer.
Hi Sparkleplenty….good to see you.
That should be Clayton made it through the 5th. He could get the win.
Gibbie- Vin just said it was 435 feet. I thought it was a little less than that.
DeWitt was thrown out at second trying to move up on ball blocked by Chris Snider in front of the plate.
Btw I hate getting threaded maybe I should just waited posted all of those message because I know some might not even go back to read them but some are strange like Torre won 12 straight home opened and the last one he lost was in 1997 with Rivera trying to close a 1-0 lead and McGwire hit a homerun and than Oakland won it in extra innings.
lol a fan jump in the Royals dugout
By sellthetm on April 13, 2010 2:48 AM
Report any abuse or spam
The game drew 9,129 fans, the smallest crowd in the 19-year history of Camden Yards.
Well I guess the Orioles going to drawn crowd like the Marlines now lol.
Ok thanks that seem weird because yahoo would have CS but I guess since he didn't try to attempt one he won't be credit with one.
Ok Dewitt let's clear the bases.
There's no doubt DeWitt has a good eye and if very, very patient at the plate.
According to Scully I think DeWitt was called out stealing.
I think that's the way it's scored, Sellthetm.
Happy Opening Day!
Great way to start at home so far. Beautiful!
I'm writing Weavers name in for this inning.
I doubt if Kershaw will make it though this inning.
Thanks 32and53fan, seeing ManRam hit it above the 385-390 zone, I actually thought it landed a little further up. Guess 435 sounds about right…
Uh, oh!
BTW, I can't no longer hear Vin on TV here at the local sports bar (up here in Giants/A's country) because the kitchen music is so freakin' loud!
The DeWitt walk last inning worked but a RBI basehit knock from Mussel Frohawk would've been nicer!
Hate to say it but stick a fork in Kid-K. Went from an 0-2 count to a walk.
Are you freaking kidding me where the shut down innings?
Or maybe not. A 93 mph K with 0 outs and two D-bag runners on at the 110 pitch mark?!? Rock on Kid K! Great way to finish off your home opener start! SEVEN K's for the KKKKKKKid.
oldbrooklynfan was right, DreamWeaver in to relieve Kid-K.. and gives up an RBI single after getting ahead 0-2 (sigh). Beware, Ramon-O warming up behind him!!!
Good call OBF. Kersh really lost it there.
Oh yeah espn.com called it. B DeWitt out at second on runner's fielder's choice. I'm familiar with that now. I should've had check espn not yahoo.
Glad Abreu love to help us out.
That wasn't so bad – good job Weav.
Snakes have left 8 on base… nice to finally see a game where we have less LOB than the opponent!
That's our Kershaw, still true to form.
I wanted Weaver to pitch another inning since our bullpen is a little bit tax.
They probably are all runs out since the 13 runs 4th vs the Pirates.
Why not, after Manny, Casey-B and Mattie all hit HR's LET's MAKE IT A DRE DAY BABY! Nice knock out for the 3-run HR Andre!!!!
Ethier 3 runs bombs.
WOWWWWW!!! All right Dre!!!
This is one AWESOME Home Opening Day for the Blue Crew… double digit score here we come!
That Dre Bomb was more of a linedrive ey? Nice way to react to an 0-2 count!
I had Truebluewill on the phone when Andre HRed.
He called from work.
I smell an Ortiz.
.298 36 .365 .447 .811 8
2nd 5th 3rd 5th 3rd 1st
5.23 .243 .732 0 1.53 2
12th 7th 11th 15th 13th 14th
Ouch I know it early but still. We have no offensive problem.
Did I not warn y'all? BEWARE OR RAMON-O!
Russ and Ramon both have to go!!!!
That RBI single is DeWitt's fault. Why was he all playing in the hole 1st base side leaving a gigantic hole up the middle-right?!?
Come on Ra. Ortiz HR by Reynold, Double and a single?
Oh Here comes Joe.
Dos Ortiz's = poison. I can't WAIT to have DUI Belisario and Killa Kuo back in the pen…
You don't have to I been saying both Oritz need to go before game 1 started.
That's Carroll out there now, Sellthetm.
Yeah tru – back to the dumpster, both of them!!!
Hurry up Beliasario and Kuo now.
After a 9-2 lead to start this inning, itz pretty crazy to realize the tying run is on deck… SHEESH!
All hail the inning ending flyout! Seventh inning stretch y'all! (or God Bless America first?)
Yeah I think that comment is a little bit late. I trust Weaver to pitch another inning than both Oritz. Ramon only seem to pitch great when we are trailing.
Bring back our bullpen. Please.
Even Troncoso doesn't seem the same.
RamTron's first AB of the year? KUDOS to Joe for keeping him in there (JT should have done that last week Sat night in FLA in the 9th!!!)
I have no problem with Troncoso bat I just wish he would let Weaver pitch more than 1 inning.
I think Torre should've stick with Troncoso when he gave that hit in the 9th innings and there was no reason for Sherrill since he's has been awful in ST something is wrong with him.
Come on Troncoso.
What the heck you don't run on Upton? That throw better been prefect.
Alright, therez the Gold Glove Bison we all love and know!
I just love how Carroll gets 2 AB's in 2 innings.
Nice Turn-2 to take us out of the inning Casey! So through 8 defensive innings guys, we've only had one 1-2-3 inning.
Troncoso what's he always get the indict grounded for the dp.
ROCK ON BROX! Way to bounce back from your "days off" with a 96 mph heater to end the game! Fifth K for Brox on the season! DODGERS WIN!!!
DODGERS WIN ON HOME OPENING DAY! Perhaps they'll win 13 in a row at home just like they did last year after starting off 2-4?!?
A runner on 3rd with less than 2 out with Ethier and Manny up and we get nothing and where have I heard this before? Oh yeah vs the Pirates when Broxton was the only pitcher not to pitch in that game. The Dodgers just called up Stultz activated Kuo and Wade off the DL and Belisario off the suspended list and put Padilla, Sherrill and both Ortiz on the DL since I doubt Ned would dropped any one of them.
GREAT game guys… see you tomorrow… same bat-time, same bat-channel?!?
I love Broxton vs Reynolds and Young.
This make 13 straight wins for Torre on opener day.
At least the decision won't be hard if both Ortiz keep this crap up.
Gibbie – have a great night – see ya tomorrow
This was Kershaw 1st win since July 18 on my bday. Still pitch a good game until I woke up and he starting off with 2 straight innings walking 2 guys back to back.
Good evening everyone! Long time no see, been really busy but am now on vacation in Chile. Read about the win, and am excited to see the offense getting it done, and Kersh pitched a pretty good one! Let's do it again!!
Hey everyone…………
I missed my first game in over a year today, work called.
I see we won the game and with quite the display of firepower.
I haven't seen the highlights yet, and this blog is hard to read when you weren't around for the actual comments.
I wish they could find a way to fix this, so that it better suits the people using it…….You know the fans!!!
Hey ITD,
Great opener, much improved from Kid-K's last start, showed some power today and there could of been more, good stuff to show, especially this weekend! So everyone from ITD seems to of showed, so a celebration shot to the BIG HRs and I'll be rooting with you tomorrow. Go Dodgers!
Wow Mike you travel everywhere.
Hey sellthetm! Did you have a previous name on here that I would recognize? 🙂
Wow!!! Vacation in Chile!! Have fun Perumike and it's good to have you back on ITD! You asked about selltheteam. He is otherwise known as Shad.
Thank Nelly wow it has been that long lol.
Good morning everyone…………….
I had a chance to view a few highlights from yesterday's game. That must of been a sight to see in person, I am glad that Kershaw was finally awarded a mark in the win column. Hard to believe that is has been that long, since July, 09, I think? He has had some very good performances during that stretch!
I hope to be around for the game tonight, until then enjoy your day all……………..
shad great job on all the post
Good morning ITD!
We had a wonderful time at the Home Opener yesterday.
My friend Erik was dressed as the Brooklyn Bum and I as Hilda Chester. A security guy at Dodger Stadium in the field level was following us around make sure that we turned our bags (they were bags where we put stuff like our radio, magazine) inside out. He did not want what we wrote about to show. What is wrong with what it says!??? "This IS Next Year" "Hilda is Here!"
Security guy (I think his name is Gus) should have been more concern with fans (guys and women)that were drinking too much. I won't go into some detail of some disgusting things I saw). I know no signs are permitted at Dodger Stadium but these are bags Erik's mom made for us!
I was only able to put one picture of how we were dressed because of short of time. more pics on another thread coming including one extra cute one of Andre.
Thanks Collie,
I can understand Opening Day how crazy it gets. At 9:40 a.m. I droved to my favorite place to park outside and it was all full but even further it was all full and you know how the stadium is surounded by parks, welll those areas they start pretty early with picnics and drinking. the police tries to get all around it and monitor it but it is packed with people since 6:am. so you can imagine that by the time they go inside some had already drank too much. Like a guy said on Dodger Talk, it looks worst women getting intoxicated.
We parked inside and the cops were making the people in the next car empty all their beer bottles they had brought in. Those people should read the rules and that the enforcement was going to be stricter. Anyway, when we left the game there were some empty bottles in the parking lot. Not sure if they made those people throwing the bottles away since we started walking while they were doing that.
I do feel for the cops outside monitoring around the parks areas because in downtown there were extra streets closed because of the funeral procession for LAPD officer Robert J. Cottle, killed March 24 in Afghanistan while on Marine Reserve duty.
GREAT GAME BOYS! Hope we can continue the Dodgers HomeRun Derby tonight….LET'S GO DODGERS!
Sorry to hear about the signs Emma. They should pick their battles and use some common sense. The security that is. Also sorry to hear that you had some unpleasent experiences at Dodgertown. Sort of stinks that the inmates are still running the place. I really wishe they would get some stricter policies and do what I suggested back in '08. We've not been back since the last time due to our unpleasant expeirences and poor security response. They need to get a zero tolerance policy and stick to it.
Now why was I thinking that today's game was a 1 o'clock game. Men I was all excited thinking the game was on….well atleast I can watch at home!
LOL! haha, if is 1 o'clock I am super late. Nope, I will be taking the shuttle out of Union Station tonight since I took the train today. Now tomorrow, since is Jackie Robinson's day, I am thinking of taking another vacation day or a 1/2 day vacation day to commemorate JAckie's day.
5.1 innings SO FAR.

Stocks fall in eurozone as U.S. jobs report adds to investor worries
On Monday, Asia's stock market took a tumble, and markets in the European Union followed suit with falls of their own.
The reason for the beating taken by the foreign markets centered largely on fears that the U.S. is sliding back into a recession after a Friday report that the nation added no new jobs in August and kept its unemployment steady 9.1%. Another factor is worry over the ongoing European debt crisis, according to a report from the Associated Press.
Reactionary market declines could be seen across Europe on Labor Day as the U.S. stock market was closed. Germany's DAX index fell 5.28%, France's CAC 40 fell 4.73%, the FTSE 100 in London fell 3.58%, and the Euro Stoxx 50 fell 5.11%.
Retail sales across the 17-nation eurozone saw a surprise increase in July, but a report on the E.U.'s services sector released Monday revealed a slowdown across Europe for the fifth consecutive month, the AP said.
"The purchasing managers' index for the eurozone showed the services sector was still growing -- unlike the manufacturing sector -- but only barely," the AP said. "That will add pressure on the European Central Bank to keep interest rates on hold when it meets this week."
The souring economic situations in Asia, Europe and the U.S. are leaving investors with "so much uncertainty, so much fear, that investors don't know what to do," David Kotok, chairman and chief investment officer at Cumberland Advisors, told the AP. "I don't remember the last time stocks were so cheap and nobody wanted them."
More evidence of investor worries were evident as well.
"The difference in interest rates between the Greek and benchmark German 10-year bonds, known as the spread, spiraled to new records on Monday, topping 17.3 percentage points," the AP said. "Yields on the Greek bonds were above 18%."
President Obama is set to give a major speech Thursday night in which he is expected to lay out proposals seeking to spark job creation. Obama previewed his speech in Detroit on Monday, saying the Republican Party will be publicly held accountable if its members don't support his job-creation plans.
From Monday's slumps in Asia and Europe, it's clear that investors on those continents will be watching to see whether Obama and U.S. lawmakers can turn the tide and stave off another recession.

When the White Sox traded for Freddy Garcia in 2004, Ken Williams had the perfect explanation for the midseason move.
"1917," the general manage said, referring to the last time the White Sox had won the World Series.
As the general manager of the defending World Series champion Giants, Brian Sabean would not figure to feel the same sense of urgency.
Yet it was the team at the top that struck quickly last week, snatching switch-hitting outfielder Carlos Beltran out of the hands of his two primary National League rivals, the Phillies and Braves.
With 2010 hero Buster Posey gone for the season, the Giants focused on the Mets' Jose Reyes and Beltran as potential impact replacements.
Once it became clear Reyes was staying in New York — at least until he files for free agency after the season — they shifted to Beltran.
Manager Bruce Bochy wooed him by picking him to the National League All-Star team over the Pirates' Andrew McCutchen and the Marlins' Mike Stanton.
The Giants then offered Beltran and Reyes a ride to the game in Phoenix on the team's charter flight, allowing Bochy to tell Beltran that he would be in the starting lineup as the designated hitter.
None of this would have meant anything, of course, if they had not paid a high price to get him.
But once the Braves' Brian McCann was injured Tuesday, Sabean knew the price of poker was about to go up.
He previously had refused to include his top pitching prospect, 21-year-old Zack Wheeler, in a deal but called Mets GM Sandy Alderson to say Wheeler was in play.
The deal came together quickly from there.
"We owed it to the city," Sabean said in announcing the deal.
"We owed it to the players on the field. When you're defending world champions, you do have to try to defend that title any way you can. As a result, we made this move. … Carlos was the player we coveted all along."
Beltran, like a textbook Scott Boras client, used his no-trade rights to handpick where he would play before going onto the free-agent market after the season (unless the Giants extend his contract, which is possible).
He wasn't interested in changing leagues, which knocked the Indians out of the picture.
The Pirates say they tried to get involved, but he had no interest in being Cinderella's big sister.
Bochy was so happy to get Beltran that he parted with his uniform number, switching from 15 to 16 so the new player wouldn't have to change.
Now comes the hard part: Backing up the advance billing.
Beltran, healthy for the first time in three years, was hitting .289 with 15 home runs and 66 RBIs for the Mets.
He dealt as well with the hopeless nature of the rebuilding Mets as with his arthritic knees, putting himself in position for another classic stretch-run performance.
His 2004 postseason for the Astros may have been the best-timed stretch of great play in the history of long-term contracts, positioning him for a free-agent sweepstakes that ended with the Mets signing him to a seven-year, $119 million deal.
He averaged 105 RBIs in the first four years of the contract but didn't seem to have much left entering 2011.
Give him credit for seeking a brightly lit stage. And give Sabean credit for swinging for the fence.
But only one team already has won in this transaction. That's the Mets, who moved a big salary and added one of the best pitching prospects in the minors.
Life after the 19th inning: While the Pirates' front office filed a formal complaint about umpire Jerry Meals, manager Clint Hurdle tried to set a tone of tolerance after the blown call that handed the Braves their Tuesday victory after 6 hours, 39 minutes of captivating baseball.
Hurdle told reporters he wouldn't have minded Meals taking the Jim Joyce approach and apologizing to the entire team, as Joyce did after his call cost Armando Galarraga a perfect game last year, but he took the high road after Meals spoke only through an MLB press release.
Hurdle shook hands with Meals and patted him on the back when the teams exchanged lineup cards Wednesday.
"I've been taught since I was 6 that when you make a mistake you admit it, you correct it and you do the best you can to move forward," Hurdle said. "So that's my hope, because I know we are all forgiving and we are all capable of forgiving and forgetting. I'm going to, regardless of how Jerry goes about it."
Don't blame me: Rangers lefty C.J. Wilson could learn a lesson or two from how knuckleballer Charlie Hough handled a bad game. Before reporters even could ask what happened, Hough would say, "I stunk," and the interview would proceed from there.
Wilson is getting a reputation as an excuse-maker and didn't gain any respect after he was knocked out in the fifth inning in Minnesota last week.
He said he was "100 percent unlucky" because five of the seven hits he gave up were ground-ball singles, overlooking the role his four walks played in the game.
"You can't defend against the slap bloop," Wilson said.
Ron Gardenhire wasn't amused.
"If you throw (crappy) pitches, you give up hits," the Twins manager said. "It doesn't matter how you get hits. Hits are hits. The game is full of bloops and blunders. If he thinks we're a bunch of bloops and blunders, that's OK. He didn't get the win, so hang with 'em."
The last word: "You have to go back to Jackie Robinson to find anybody who goes through this much scrutiny. It wasn't like this for (Stephen) Strasburg. Wasn't like this for Alex Rodriguez." — Nationals minor league hitting coach Tony Tarasco on the scrutiny the Nationals' Bryce Harper has faced.

PBS has a website called MediaShift, billed as "Your Guide to the Digital Media Revolution." Based on an alarming post this week headlined "Tear Down the Wall Between Business and Editorial!" (12/7/11), the revolution looks rather revolting.
The piece is written by Dorian Benkoil, who "handles marketing and sales strategies for MediaShift, and is the business columnist for the site"--a job description that suggests that PBS has already torn down the wall between business and editorial, since those responsibilities would seem to put you in a constant position of conflict of interest. (He earlier worked as "a liaison between the sales and editorial sides" at ABCNews.com.)
The piece is a primer on "how to blur the lines in an intelligent and ethical way," in the words of MediaShift managing editor Courtney Lowery Cowgill. It offers such tips as "If Sales Influences Editorial, It's OK," and insights like:
It's easy to demean "link bait" such as "Top 10" or "How To" lists, but if your users like and share them, and they generate profitable page views, is there really harm? If there's sponsor interest, all the better.
To be sure, the piece includes caveats, like: "You do need core principles that can't be bent--even if that means the business doesn't meet payroll." But it seems completely oblivious to the dangers of basing your business model on giving the sponsors what they want. It's hard to maintain a line in the sand when you've started out with the intention of blurring that line--ethically, intelligently or otherwise.
Never Miss a Beat.

The most striking thing about the column is its celebration of profit-making as a liberating force:
Profit is what lets you not only continue another day, but also gives you the freedom to determine your own mission.... The more profit your company makes, the more leeway it has to do its work, to remain independent of government or other interference, and the more freedom to do good work.
Well, no. The point of a for-profit business is to make money, not "to do good work"; the more profit your company makes, the more it will strive to make in the future, so it can show stockholders an ever-expanding return on their investment. The pressure this puts on journalists to warp their copy is why the wall between business and editorial was made one of journalism's "core principles that can't be bent."
And the difficulty of maintaining such principles in the face of the profit imperative is why PBS was set up in the first place, to provide a home for journalism free from the obligation to please sponsors. But when PBS has sales and marketing directors who also double as business columnists, I guess that kind of journalism needs to find a new home.

An album of photographs (now decompiled) by an author of books and articles on Native American arts and crafts. It contains images of Oglala Indians in South Dakota (includes Holy man/ catechist Nicholas Black Elk), Ojibwa Indians in Wisconsin, birch-bark canoes, and wood-crafted figurines.
Gift of Jean Krainik, 1989. Processed by Mark G. Thiel, CA, 1989.
Biographical Note
Walter Bernard "Ben" Hunt (1888-1970) was a writer of books and articles on Native American arts and crafts, including performing arts. Because Indian arts was a major focus of his work, Hunt visited and photographed Nicholas Black Elk (Oglala) and other native performers in South Dakota (Black Hills, summer, 1937) and Wisconsin (Lac du Flambeau and Wisconsin Dells, 1937?-1940s?). According to Hunt's daughter, Jean Krainik, the South Dakota visit was in conjunction with a family vacation. No doubt Hunt had read Black Elk Speaks (1932) prior to the trip.
Other informants included taxidermist Walter Pelzer of the Milwaukee Public Museum and Frank Smart (Ojibwa) of Odahan, Bad River Reservation, Wisconsin. Frank Smart (or Gogeweosh) also served as Master of Ceremonies of summer tourist powwows at Lac du Flambeau on the Lac du Flambeau Reservation.
Later Hunt used several of the photographs to illustrate his writings. Those of his hand-carved figurines ("whittling") appeared in Ben Hunt's Whittling Book (1945) and without identification, he incorporated Black Elk's image within a drawing in Golden Book of Indian Crafts and Lore (1954). A comprehensive comparison between Hunt's photographs and illustrations in his writings has not been made. Besides signing his name, Hunt also used "Whitlin' Jim," "Lone Eagle," and "Wanbli Ishnala" as nom de plumes.
In 1949, Hunt and other non-native hobbyists established the Wabeskiwa ("White" in Ojibwa) Indian Fair, which until 1964, was an annual event held most years in Janesville, Wisconsin. Following the debut of the Milwaukee Braves Baseball Team (1953), a Hunt protégé and Marquette University student – Patrick Buckett – proposed the "Warriors" as the university's new sports team nickname, which was confirmed by Marquette University Student Senate.
Scope and Content
W. Ben Hunt, Folder 1: Nine prints, which were probably taken at Duhamel's Sioux Indian Pageant in the Black Hills, located at Sitting Bull Crystal Caverns, Rockerville, South Dakota. Included are two photos of Nicholas Black Elk (Oglala, 1866-1950) wearing regalia, one of Black Elk's grandson, George Looks Twice, and performers John LeDew (Oglala-Pawnee), Tommy Iron Bull (Oglala), Leo Black Bear, and others not identified. Black Elk narrated the pageant, which he had founded with Alex Duhamel (1929), proprietor of Duhamel's Trading Post, Rapid City, and Sitting Bull Crystal Caverns. Terrain and teepees in the background of several prints suggest the pageant as the location. Also, a note on the verso of the John LeDew print gave his address as "Headlee Ranch," a town near Rockerville, with the date, "10-18-1937" and a notation by Hunt that he had returned a copy print to Mr. LeDew.
W. Ben Hunt, Folder 2: 18 prints, comprised of scenes from the building of Hunt's backyard cabin/studio, Hales Corners, Wisconsin, plus related cabin furnishings, hand-carved figurines, and Hopi-style Indian kachina dolls, all made by Hunt.
W. Ben Hunt, Folder 3: Two prints featuring prominent performers in regalia from the Stand Rock Indian Ceremonial, a Wisconsin Dells-area tourist show. They are Frank Clearwater (Ojibwa), playing an Indian flute, and Chief Evergreen Tree (Cochiti), wearing a double-trailer Plains Indian war bonnet with arms outstretched and posed for singing the romanticized song, "Zuni Sunrise Call." The location for both photographs was Parsons Indian Trading Post, Lake Delton, a local store where many performers purchased regalia supplies.
W. Ben Hunt, Folder 4: Three prints and a Biographical Statement on Hunt. The prints include a close-up portrait of Hunt and a portrait of Hunt in regalia and mounted on a horse. Presumably these photographs were taken in Wisconsin.
W. Ben Hunt, Folder 5: Nine photographs that comprise a step-by-step sequence of an unidentified Ojibwa Indian building a birch bark canoe. The location is unknown, but it is presumed because of the ties between Hunt and Frank Smart, both the Bad River and Lac du Flambeau reservations in Wisconsin would be likely locations.

students how to use arrays, many instructors give assignments requiring to use two or three arrays in parallel to
represent attributes in what should be classes. While this type of assignment allows students to gain confidence
when using arrays, this type of approach becomes very cumbersome to use and difficult to manage, especially as the number of elements stored increases in size and more so as the use of resizable collections like ArrayLists come into play.
So let's go ahead and start out with a standard inventory program that uses parallel arrays to store price, quantity and name. This program will display a menu using a JOptionPane window requesting input for adding inventory, updating a current item's status, displaying the inventory, and quitting. If the user wants to update an item, we will display another menu asking for the index of the item to change. After we recieve the index, we will display another menu asking the user if they want to update the name, quantity or price, followed by a prompt for the new value. And as was the requirement when I did the assignment, we'll limit the size of the arrays to 10 items in inventory.
import javax.swing.JOptionPane; public class Inventory{ public static void main(String[] args){ /* As we can see, we are starting out with 3 parallel arrays representing quantity, price, and name. Each element in an array lines up with the elements at the corresponding indices in the other two arrays. So quantity[0] represents the same item as price[0] and name[0] */ int[] quantity = new int[10]; //quantity defaults to 0 for all items double[] price = new double[10]; //price defaults to 0 for all items //names default to null, so we can't use an item's name until it is assigned one String[] name = new String[10]; boolean toContinue = true; String input = ""; int menuItem = 0; //holds place so when elements are supposed to be added, the appropriate indices are updated int counter = 0; while(toContinue){ input = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("1) Add an item\n2) Modify an existing item\n3) Display inventory\n4) Exit"); menuItem = Integer.parseInt(input); switch(menuItem){ case 1: //add an item name[counter] = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter the name of this item"); quantity[counter] = Integer.parseInt(JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter the quantity available for this item"); price[counter] = Double.parseDouble("Enter the price of this item"); counter++; //go to the next position break; //jump out of the switch case 2: //modify existing item //pick the item int index = Integer.parseInt(JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Which item from 0-9 do you wish to modify?")); //set up the display for the item String item = "Name: " + name[index] + "\nQuantity: " + quantity[index] + "\nPrice: " + price[index]; //prompt for category to update int category = Integer.parseInt(JOptionPane.showInputDialog(item + "\nModify:\n1) Name\n2) Quantity\n3) Price")); //and effect the update if(category == 1) name[index] = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter a new name"); else if(category == 2) quantity[index] = Integer.parseInt(JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter a new quantity")); else if(category == 3) price[index] = Double.parseDouble(JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter a new price")); break; case 3: //display items String display = ""; for(int i = 0; i < name.length; i++){ //if there isn't a name for an item, we won't display it if(name[i] == null) break; display += name[i] + "\t" + quantity[i] + "\t" + price[i] + "\n"; } //if there are no items in inventory, display such if(display.trim().length() != 0) JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "There are no items in inventory"); //otherwise, display what is in inventory else JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Name\tQuantity\tPrice\n" + display); break; case 4: //exit System.exit(0); } } } }
So far, this program isn't too bad. A few tedious things (beyond getting input) that I noticed included making the display String for a given item, like at this line String item = "Name: " + name[index] + "\nQuantity: " + quantity[index] + "\nPrice: " + price[index];. Consider this though- what would happen if there were no size limitations as to the number of items you could have in inventory (meaning we are now using ArrayLists in parallel instead of static arrays)? When you go to add or remove (which would be the next logical step) items, you wouldn't have to use a counter variable because the ArrayLists would automatically resize as soon as elements are added or removed from them. This gets a little sticky, however, when removing elements in the middle of the lists, as it is very easy to get attributes mixed up. For example, you could remove element 9 for the name list, but end up removing element 8 from the quantity and element 10 from the price list. This would completely mess up the data integrity and accuracy, plus it is very hard to debug this error.
Another logical step would be to sort the elements according to one of their attributes (name, quantity or price). Using parallel arrays, you have to enforce each step of the sort amongst all three arrays. So for example, if you sort the quantity array in ascending order, the changes aren't automatically affected throughout the other two arrays. This means that if you call Arrays.sort() on one array, it doesn't necessarily change the other two. And if you call Arrays.sort() on each of the three arrays, you have just sorted three arrays individually, so your name, qunatity and price array are all in order according to the values stored in them. However, you will have mismatched all the attributes from the item they are supposed to describe.
Now that we've seen the cons of parallel arrays, let's talk about the advantages of using classes instead. First off, the attributes representing each class are contained within the class. This means that the quantity, price and name cannot get mismatched like we saw when using parallel arrays. This also means that we only have to manage one collection, so it saves memory. Next, we can use methods to make our lives easier. This means that we can set up a toString() method in the class, and when invoked, it will return a nice formatted (to our specifications) String; and we can also use a single setter method so we can eliminate the group of if statements for updating an item. So in short, you are dealing with one variable that holds all the information and can have automated tasks set up instead of having to hard code each component as we saw above.
Now that we've discussed the advantages of classes, let's take a look into putting them into use. To start, we'll take a look at designing a class to model an Item.
public class Item{ /*notice how each attribute is contained within the class. by doing this, we don't have to worry about mismatching the attributes as seen in parallel arrays */ private int quantity; private double price; private String name; /* when the class is created, the constructor is invoked. this specific constructor allows for the specification of each attribute upon the creation of the object */ public Item(String name, int quantity, double price){ //initialize the attributes this.name = name; this.price = price; this.quantity = quantity; } /* This constructor simply creates a default item with a generic name, none in stock and no price set. It calls the other Item() constructor through the use of the keyword this */ public Item(){ this("New Item",0,0); } /* Basic getter and setter methods for each attribute */ public void setName(String name){this.name = name;} public String getName(){return name;} public void setPrice(double price){this.price = price;} public double getPrice(){return price;} public void setQuantity(int quantity){this.quantity = quantity;} public int getQuantity(){return quantity;} /* this setter method is a little more advanced. it is designed to allow for an easy update of the item by passing a param representing the attribute to update and the new value. @params: -int category: 1- Name, 2- Quantity, 3- Price -String value: represents the new value; will be parsed to appropriate type */ public void update(int category, String value){ switch(category){ case 1: name = value; return; case 2: //value is converted to an int quantity = Integer.parseInt(value); return; case 3: //value is converted to a double price = Double.parseDouble(value); return; } } /* This toString() method makes it very easy to get formatted information about the Item rather than having to go through each of the getter methods individually. Returns name, quantity and price separated by tabs */ public String toString(){ return name + "\t" + quantity + "\t" + price; } }
After looking at the Item class, I notice how it is a lot more organized than using parallel arrays, plus it provides a little tighter control on the attributes and more usability through many of its methods, most notably the toString() and update() methods. Now let's redo our Inventory program using the Item class instead of Parallel arrays.
import javax.swing.JOptionPane; public class Inventory{ public static void main(String[] args){ //notice how we only use one array instead of 3 //and that the array type is the same as class name //for Item Item[] inventory = new Item[10]; boolean toContinue = true; String input = ""; int menuItem = 0; int counter = 0; while(toContinue){ input = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("1) Add an item\n2) Modify an existing item\n3) Display inventory\n4) Exit"); menuItem = Integer.parseInt(input); switch(menuItem){ case 1: //add an item /* as we see here, we still need to get the input for each attribute but we eliminate a few lines where we had to update each parallel array. instead, we just create a new Item, and increment the counter in the same statement. counter++ will execute after the item has been created in the current index of counter. so if counter = 0, a new Item will be created at inventory[0], then counter increments to 1. */ String name = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter the name of the item"); int quantity = Integer.parseInt(JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter the quantity of the item")); double price = Double.parseDouble(JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter the price")); inventory[counter++] = new Item(name, quantity, price); break; case 2: //modify an existing item int index = Integer.parseInt(JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Which item from 0-9 do you wish to modify?")); //notice how we just call the toString() method instead of having a line to set up the String display int category = Integer.parseInt(JOptionPane.showInputDialog(inventory[index].toString() + "\nModify:\n1) Name\n2) Quantity\n3) Price")); String value = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter the new value"); //notice how we use the update() method from the given Item and let it update its attributes internally //rather than messing around with determining what parallel array to update and how to parse the values inventory[index].update(category, value); break; case 3: //display items //notice how many fewer lines this takes up than iterating through each parallel array //and appending the information to the display String //Here, the toString() method comes in handy, plus having one array makes the task easier //So we have about 4 lines of code for this part total String display = "Name\tQuantity\tPrice\n"; for(Item i: inventory){ if(i != null) display += i.toString() + "\n"; } JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, display); break; case 4: //exit System.exit(0); }//end switch }//end while } }
As we can see, this program gives us tighter control over each Item because we don't have to worry about keeping up with which indices represent each Item. This becomes increasingly important as we move onto using resizable collections like ArrayList, and as we attempt to sort the Items by a given attribute (or multiple attributes). We also have the convenience of using methods defined in the Item class, something we didn't have the luxury of doing when using parallel arrays.
By using classes instead of parallel arrays, you will begin to get a better handle on Object-Oriented Programming. This will help you as you continue your studies of Java, especially as you come across more advanced OO concepts like inheritance, abstraction and polymorphism, in addition to helping you better organize your program.

And in a push-based world where one size fits all, CPM did its job. It was simple and based on a critical, and often times flawed assumption: that email volume was directly proportional to effectiveness.
We've realized that up until now marketers have been held hostage by email CPM. They are in effect paying to talk to their own customers. After all, CPM is the main cost driver for this industry, and at a time when single channel, push-based marketing was the norm, email CPM worked just fine. But increasingly, it is an anachronism in a world that is rapidly headed towards cross-channel orchestration. I started writing about cross-channel marketing back in 2009 when I led the Customer Intelligence practice at Forrester Research. It's now been more than four years, and marketers still have way too many hurdles in delivering a truly consistent cross-channel experience. We want to remove the roadblocks and help marketers get there faster.
Today, Adobe announced a new approach that will help marketers embrace cross-channel marketing once and for all. Starting in January, we are changing the way brands will be charged for communicating with their customers. We will no longer rely on email CPM or for that matter any channel messaging costs. Instead of CPM, we will charge based on the customer profiles that marketers have in their database.
No longer will marketers have to worry about email volumes, and associated overages, and penalties related with marketing communications. We want marketers to do whatever is right by their customers. If this means sending them more email then they should be able to do that. But if this means reducing email and amping up mobile and social messages, well that's fine too. We want marketers to use all the channels at their disposal to deliver compelling, personalized marketing messages, offers, and experiences.
Customer profiles provide invaluable information on end-consumers, including their preferences, behaviors, attitudes, and value. This new approach allows marketers to not only look at whether email is the right vehicle to reach their customers, but to try new channels (social, mobile, etc.) and scale marketing efforts to do what is right for their customers and the business. This is about freedom and flexibility. Essentially, by evaluating multiple channels marketers can pick and choose the mix that best serves their customers and their business objectives.
Only Adobe Campaign offers this flexibility. As a world-class, cross-channel campaign management solution, Adobe Campaign enables marketers to harnesses the intelligence of an integrated customer profile to build meaningful relationships with their customers, deliver relevant offers and messages, and orchestrate great experiences. And Adobe Campaign is the only solution that lets you scale email, direct mail, social, and mobile communications without worrying about your Cost Per Message.

Lesson Plan
Argument, Persuasion, or Propaganda? Analyzing World War II Posters
|9 – 12
|Lesson Plan Type
|Standard Lesson
|Estimated Time
|Three 50-minute sessions
|Lesson Author
Marshall, Minnesota
In this lesson plan, students analyze World War II posters, chosen from online collections, to explore how argument, persuasion and propaganda differ. The lesson begins with a full-class exploration of the famous "I WANT YOU FOR U.S. ARMY" poster, wherein students explore the similarities and differences between argument, persuasion, and propaganda and apply one of the genres to the poster. Students then work independently to complete an online analysis of another poster and submit either an analysis worksheet or use their worksheet responses to write a more formal essay.
- Argument, Persuasion, or Propaganda?: This handout clarifies the goals, techniques, and methods used in the genres of argument, persuasion, and propaganda.
- Analyzing a World War II Poster: This interactive assists students in careful analysis of a World War II poster of their own selection for its use of argument, persuasion, or propaganda.
Visual texts are the focus of this lesson, which combines more traditional document analysis questions with an exploration of World War II posters. The 1975 "Resolution on Promoting Media Literacy" states that explorations of such multimodal messages "enable students to deal constructively with complex new modes of delivering information, new multisensory tactics for persuasion, and new technology-based art forms." The 2003 "Resolution on Composing with Nonprint Media" reminds us that "Today our students are living in a world that is increasingly non-printcentric. New media such as the Internet, MP3 files, and video are transforming the communication experiences of young people outside of school. Young people are composing in nonprint media that can include any combination of visual art, motion (video and film), graphics, text, and sound-all of which are frequently written and read in nonlinear fashion." To support the literacy skills that students must sharpen to navigate these many media, activities such as the poster analysis in this lesson plan provide bridging opportunities between traditional understandings of genre and visual representations.

Yeah, breeding people isn't as easy as breeding cattle. What a shame.
I think the guy is racist…
By Abrahamic people, he could be talking about Jewish people.
Or Semites generally, as Arab/Muslim mythology lays claim to being descended from Abraham as well. I'm sure Shep would differentiate between monotheistic Arabs and Nile, even if no one else could see an ethnic difference.
Huh. Guess in this history, judaeism rules the middle east, having chased out the ancient Egyptians…doesn't that mean the Islam never came to be? Interesting stuff.
Abrahamic means Jews, Christians AND Muslims-the three religions who consider Abraham to be the first prophet.
Could also be that the 6 day war went a bit further and became an occupation.
Yeesh. At least the Jakes understand the vital importance of genetic diversity….
By "Abrahamic" he could mean Jews, Arabs, or even (stretching a point somewhat) Christians. Heck, he could mean a coalition of the three, unlikely as that seems in our world.
In our timeline, Egypt has been under the control of foreign powers for nearly two and a half millenia. In Templar's timeline, "five generations" … and I'm taking it for granted that Shep is the type to exaggerate, so 18-year "generations" seems reasonable … would put the start of the "exile" at approximately the end of the Great War (assuming they HAD a Great War).
The Six-Day War was only about 40 years ago, and I'm not sure even Shep would call 8 years a generation.
Two Possibilities come to mind: British Occupied Egypt, or he could literally be refering to how many generations of their extended family are currently living since their ancestors were "exiled."
From Wiki:
"The reign of Ismail, from 1863 to 1879, was for a while hailed as a new era into modern Egypt. […] led to bankruptcy, and the later part of his reign is historically important simply for its leading to European intervention in, and occupation of, Egypt"
This would put each generation near 25 or so years.
If any Egyptians tried to cast off Islam (or Christianity) in favor of ancient Egyptian civilization, you can bet they would get a lot of shit from the Muslim majority (just like the Copts do, and they're people of the Book). No need to conjure up something about Israel.
I believe Spike has spoken to the alt-history origins of the Nile Revivalists somewhere (it relates to the alternate history of Egypt), but I can't find it.
"That's what you decide to care about?"
Yeah, Shep, I would imagine pedophilia and incest figure pretty well up there. Check out the Ancient Egyptian family trees sometime…LOTTA inbreeding.
Wish we had some historical foot notes. Even a world or local map. But I'm guessing we will get tantalizing bits here and there to spice the story. Like we just had. Grist for the mill. See if there is anything to latch onto in our history.

From Business Insider:
It may be about time Budweiser relinquished its title as "King of Beers."
According to the recently released 2012 Harris Poll EquiTrend Rankings, there is a new batch of brews with stronger brand equity, customer connections and buzz.
24/7 Wall St. has examined the report, identifying the 10 beers with the strongest brands.
The beer brands with the greatest strength — a measure of familiarity, quality, purchase consideration, trust and the ability to generate buzz — are largely more expensive brews.
Nine of the 10 are among the most expensive beers out of the country's 20 best-selling beers.
The beer that is not one of the most expensive, Yuengling, is not far behind in price.
American consumers also are spending more on these beers. Dollar sales of every beer on the list has increased from one year prior. Yuengling, Blue Moon and Modelo Especial have had the largest increases among all popular beer brands. Meanwhile, many other brands, including Budweiser by Anheuser-Busch InBev (NYSE: BUD), Keystone Light and Natural Light, experienced decreases over this same period. Sales of Bud Light Lime dropped nearly 7% over this period.
The beers with the most powerful brands are just as varied as beer drinkers' tastes. They differ greatly in style and originate from five different countries. They also have a range of founding dates, extending from 1759 to 1995. This illustrates that an established brand does not necessarily mean a strong brand.
24/7 Wall St. reviewed the 2012 Harris Poll EquiTrend Rankings to identify the most popular beers, which quantifies brand strength among consumers. We included dollar sales, change in dollar sales from one year ago and case sales. We also included the average price per case over the latest 52-week period in the United States provided by SymphonyIRI Group, a Chicago-based market research firm. The group looked at sales at supermarkets, drugstores, gas/convenience stores and mass market retailers, but excluding Walmart (NYSE: WMT) club stores, and liquor stores.

615M 30mm Tactical High Matte Rings
Warne Tactical Rings are engineered to withstand the most demanding conditions and situations of tactical shooting applications. Precision CNC machined steel provides strength, ductility and the durability you have come to expect from Warne Scope Mounts. The Maxima Tactical Rings have three primary differences from the rest of the Warne line of rings; a 22% wider body for additional clamping around the scope tube and the mounting base, a 1/2″ hex nut for clamping the ring to the base that easily accepts the Mil-Spec 65 in/lb. of torque; and lastly, the addition of up to eight T-15 Torx style body screws, depending on the ring model for superior holding power.
- 22% wider ring body provides extra grip around the scope tube.
- Rings have up to eight T-15 Torx style screws for superior holding, 25 in/lb. of torque recommended.
- 1/2″ hex nut for clamping the rings to the base, 65 in/lb. of torque recommended.
- Stainless steel recoil control key for superior recoil absorption.
Remove the screws which hold the ring halves together. Insert the steel recoil key (either side is ok). Place the rings around the scope in the approximate position required and loosely install the screws. Firmly tighten the bottom screws and leave the top screws loose enough to adjust the scope for eye relief and the correct orientation of the reticle. Place rings and scope onto bases with recoil keys in the cross slots on the base. With the scope still loose in the rings, slide one ring forward so the recoil lug is contacting the front of the cross slot. Torque the ring nut to 65 in/lbs and repeat for the other ring. Now adjust the scope for eye relief and correct orientation of the reticle. Once both are correct, tighten the top screws to 25 in/lbs. To remove the scope, simply loosen the ½" nut and lift the scope off the mount, tilting slightly to the opposite side of the nut. To re-mount the scope, simply place the rings into the slots the scope was originally mounted in, slide the rings and scope forward until the recoil lugs contact the front of the slot, and tighten the ½" nut. NOTE: The ½" tactical nut screw assembly is pre-set at the factory and does not require any adjustments. Tampering with this screw can cause improper function of the scope rings.

First call up the memory. The dusty book with the library smell and the girl from the book-modelling place (where do they find those people)? The utter unfamiliarity of New Mexico for most of her readers, who were conditioned to believe that all Judy Blume books would happen a train ride away from Manhattan.
Then remember how too-young you probably were, if, like me, you got addicted to Superfudge and Margaret and didn't see any reason to stop until you were nine years old and realized you probably weren't interested in a book called "Wifey" that was in the adult section in the library. There was no such barrier on Tiger Eyes though, in the paperback racks, and so you took it home and devoured it, regardless of how much actually sunk in.
What I remember about Tiger Eyes from back then is a little hazy. I reread it last year, actually, when I heard this movie was being made. I'm glad I did - I wasn't scared of the Wolf character anymore. I realized that for all Blume is sometimes criticized for having pat endings with happy families, Tiger Eyes isn't, and doesn't. It's brutal, open-ended, and unfinished.
It's a movie I'm almost afraid to see. Yes, I think Willa Holland looks shockingly accurate as the Davey I didn't know I had in my head. Yes, Wolf looks like a 30-something perv instead of the 20 year old hottie I had affixed in my memory. And the story still seems so, so brutal (and New Mexico still seems exotic).
Here's what's most interesting to me. I've read the book twice - which, admittedly, basically counts as skimming where the Blume oeuvre is concerned - and yet I don't know the story inside and out. I feel like this movie, endorsed by Judy, directed by her son, can tell me something entirely new that I didn't know about the story. Make it new for cynical me. That's exciting. The actual coming-of-age story is a little more inner-emotional than um, outer, unlike some Blume works. That's fine. It's not going to make me any less twelve years old when I see it.

Glenn-Marie Endris — Babe of the Day
Glenn-Marie Endris, 25, is a model, actress and singer who lives in San Diego. She is certainly the most attractive person you know named Glenn.
Glenn-Marie began her acting career as a child, appearing in several commercials before she was 10 years old. Since then, she's blossomed — and how — into a very active actress, appearing on 'CSI Las Vegas,' 'House,' 'Wipe Out' and 'Manswers.' She's also served as a co-host on Fuel TV's 'Daily Habit' and Playboy TV's 'Bad Ass,' which is clearly not named after her body part.
In addition to her acting, Glenn Marie has done extensive modeling work, appearing in 'FHM,' 'Easyrider,' as a Playboy Girl of Golf and in many calendars, including a recent spread in the Parallax Tactical Calendar that features her holding a military-grade machine gun. So, Glenn-Marie gets paid to sit on motorcycles, play golf in a bunny costume and hold guns while wearing a bikini. Think about that next time you head into your office.
You will undoubtedly be seeing more of Glenn-Marie in the future, but you can already see a whole lot of her on her Facebook page, on her Model Mayhem profile and at her website.

The fastest Source for Judo News from around the world. #JudoForTheWorld
By John Leicester, The Associated Press | The Canadian Press
PARIS - Roger Federer has Rafael Nadal, the Yankees have the Red Sox, Ferrari has McLaren, but Teddy Riner is all alone.
In his sport, judo, the Olympic champion with a physique like Shaquille O'Neal's and first name borrowed from his older brother's teddy bear has few rivals to really trouble him. The heavyweight from France was so invincible at the London Games last August that the crowd booed his opponent in the final for not putting up more of a fight. So why does Riner still bother? When judo is this easy, what's the point?
With five world championship titles and Olympic gold under his black belt by age 23, Riner could rest on his stack of laurels. Like Barack Obama, Brad Pitt and others, Riner has his statue in the Grevin waxwork museum in Paris. He has offers to switch to rugby or basketball and turned down a lucrative proposal from the United States to fight in mixed martial arts.
Life is so good that Riner was able to take off for nearly four months after his London triumph, to globe-trot, dive with sharks, take in an opera in Sydney and give his giant body (he's 2.03 metres tall and weighs 130-plus kilograms) its first long breather since his mid-teens.
A phrase Riner repeats to himself — "Never let anyone steal your beefsteak" — helps explain why his vacation didn't become life-long. Other heavyweights — "wolves," he calls them — would happily take Riner's throne if he abandoned it. Like 17-time major champion Federer in tennis, 7-time world champion Michael Schumacher in Formula One or France's dominant rallying superstar Sebastien Loeb, Riner intends to leave possibly indelible marks on sport. He bats away suggestions that he has too few rivals to keep him occupied.
"A lot of people say that. But if I one day stopped training as I do, gave up my advantage, my intelligence in a fight and stopped asking questions of myself, my opponents would devour me," he said in an Associated Press interview.
"It's not that there isn't anybody. It's that I don't let anyone take my place. They are there. I see them. The moment I step out onto the mat, they want to get me. It's up to me to be the strongest. Even if I'm not at my best, I have to be stronger than them, never let anyone get ahead of me, just as Schumacher did, like Sebastien Loeb, like all the best."
Because he's so young and dominant, it isn't a stretch to imagine Riner eclipsing the gold-medal haul of the now retired Ryoko Tani. She won seven at worlds and two at the Olympics.
Riner's five world titles are already a record for men. To match Tadahiro Nomura's three Olympic golds from the 1996, 2000 and 2004 games, Riner would have to continue past the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics to 2020.
Riner refuses to get ahead of himself. "You have to take one Olympic Games after another," he said.
But he added: "I have the chance to set records that could last forever. So I have to take advantage of that."
"When I am invincible, I will stop. I don't feel invincible yet. I don't feel that I can stop. No. I have to continue. I have to make a mark on the history of my sport."
Riner was born on the French Caribbean island of Guadeloupe, where he has family, but grew up in Paris.
Asked to name five opponents he is wary of, Riner paused.
His first pick was Alexander Mikhaylin, the Russian he defeated in the London Olympic final.
After a long "Umm," Riner then named Daiki Kamikawa of Japan — the last man to beat him in a major final, in 2010 — followed by a Tunisian, a German and a Hungarian who also are "strong, quick and who you always have to be wary of."
"They are wolves and they are improving," Riner said of the five.
At the time, Riner was ungracious about Kamikawa's world championship victory, saying he was "cheated" and "robbed." Even now, Riner notes that Kamikawa and Uzbekistan's Abdullo Tangriev, at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, beat him not with throw-downs but with judges' decisions, "which sometimes were controversial." Those are Riner's only notable defeats at major events since his first world title in 2007.
Partly because "I'm a bit of an ambassador for my sport," Riner rejected the proposal to fight in mixed martial arts. "That isn't me. That isn't how I was brought up," he said.
In training, Riner said he sometimes wrestles up to five people at once to make it more challenging. His coach, Franck Chambily, said a lack of real rivals makes motivating Riner more complicated.
"On Planet Judo, he is all alone. That makes things even harder," Chambily said. "The source of his inspiration — this is what he himself says and I've written it down — is to become legendary. And legendary is perhaps to go and get three Olympic titles."

Looking back on the Universe's history for a specific patch of the sky observed by Herschel and Keck to reveal many previously unseen starburst galaxies. This graphic shows a representation of the distribution of nearly 300 galaxies in one 1.4 x 1.4 degree field of view. In total, Keck identified 767 galaxies found by Herschel.
Five starburst galaxies (as seen by the ESA/NASA Hubble Space Telescope) are shown as insets. The light from the nearest galaxy shown in the insets has been travelling towards us for 2.6 billion years, while for the furthest inset galaxy it has been travelling for 10.2 billion years.
The galaxies were first detected by ESA's Herschel space observatory and an example of one of the far-infrared fields of view is shown in the graphic. The redshifts were determined by the ground-based W.M. Keck telescopes.

text: While returning from my Across-Canada tour this summer on my trusty old BMW R100GS PD, i came to a painful realization that it was time to move on. After all, my bike had over 200k km on it, was big, heavy and not that great on gas. Off-road was both difficult an awkward, a lesson i learned in the Andes mountains last spring when i bit off more than i could chew. Now understand, this was a difficult task. This bike has been with me for the last 5 years, hand built and customized by yours truly We traveled together through mountains, jungles and deserts, all points in between my home of Vancouver, BC and Lima, Peru, her final destination in S. America before getting shipped back home and touring Canada. She now belongs to another proud owner, and i hope he treats her well and gives her all the love and attention she deserves. She will surely be missed [/IMG] As you can see, i installed a WP 4860 front fork to the BMW. This was no easy task and involved a steep learning curve, which i hope will make my next project that much easier... well, my fingers are crossed anyways. The Beemer needed a new triple clamp due to clearance issues with stock KTM clamps. Because the only one available from HPN was stupid amounts of money, i decided to make my own, which i machined from billet aluminum. [/IMG] Although i'm quite proud of my endevor, i must admit i did fuck up. The holes were machined too close together which gave me major problems regarding brake caliper clearance. Custom spacers, were made, calipers were machined and In the end the wheel was never perfect with an off-set of about 8mm. This was never a problem over the more than 70k km i put on the bike since installing the front end, but was always in the back of my mind. This time i'll get it right. When i titled this thread DR650 Adventure, what a meant was a KTM/Suzuki hybrid. A DR bike with a complete 640 Adventure front end. Should be pretty cool, huh? Okay, so lets get this started. Back in August i started looking for a later model bike for a decent price. I found one in nearby Nanaimo and quickly made a deal. They really don't come up for sale used that often, a good sign i guess. [/IMG] I rode the bike for the rest of September and most of October before parking it for the winter. The truth is, my commute to work is so short, it doesn't warrant putting on gobs of gear every morning for only a 7 minute ride. This was a great opportunity to start ordering some stuff. Can you say shopping!?! Here is the list so far: FMF pipe (thanx Bgunn!) KTM 640 Adventure mask (Thanx SpringOly!) Complete KTM 640 Adv. front end (thanx Blueillusion10!) Corbin seat (Thanx Desert-Blaster!) Triple Clamp (Thanx R.Markus!) KTM Adv. lights and frame (Thanx Renazco!) Adv. dash (thanx Eggmanj!) Front rally fender (Thanx Brands46!) And the list goes on from other vendors like DualStar, Pro-Cycle, Keintech, Cogent Dynamics, Aqualine Australia, Steel Pony and Advanced Motorcycle Products (engine guards) This is just the beginning and there will be more to come, so if i forgot somebody, patience Grasshopper, your time will come . And to all of you fellow inmates who sold me all their shit, you guy's are fucking AWESOME!! I love you all! I have never been ripped off by anyone from ADVrider and in return will never rip off one of my bike-whore brothers. Without you projects like these are next to impossible! Oh, and before i forget, to the few of you who refused to ship anything to Canada (You know who you are :ddog ) i would just like to give you a warm, heart felt :fyyff .There, i feel better now! Okay, back to business. My goal here is to match up a KTM640 front end to a DR650 with an Aqualine Safari tank. This will look something like this: [/IMG] [/IMG] [/IMG] Just a rough idea of how it will fit together, really not bad at all. Now, the forks: [/IMG]Although the 640 forks have a lot more travel, they are only 3/4" longer than the stock, measured from the axel. This is all good news! [/IMG] The triple clamps are actually pretty close also. After pressing out the pind and doing some careful measuring, i discovered that it was possible to machine the larger DR pin down 0.0095" for it to press fit into the bottom clamp. Nice! [/IMG] This was all really good news as it meant that i could use the DR's bearing adjustment system. Now, the top clamp was a different story, with the hole being much larger than on the DR's pin. This only required a bushing which i machined out of aluminum and pressed on, using the hot/cold method. [/IMG] [/IMG] And there you have it! KTM 640 Adventure triple clamp with the Suzuki pin. The machining took me about 20 minutes in total and was a very simple process. It fits well on the bike but had to be removed so i could finnish my work. First off, i need some steering stops to keep the clamp from hitting the tank. I think just a couple of bolts here will do. Also, after looking at the key on the DR clamp i realised that the keys are placed in more or less the same position. Cool! i managed to drill out the safety pins and use a Torx wrench to remove the key and tried it. [/IMG] The hole pattern is pretty close! all i need to do is oversize the holes about a mm. each and then shave off a few mm. of aluminum from the clamp to make it fit. This is awesome! As for the fairing frame, this will require a little bit of welding, not a big deal. I built a bracket from a piece if 1 1/4 square tubing cut to size and re-enforced inside to resist crushing when the bolts are tightened down. This will be welded directly to the steering head. Thanx to Macuser and his thread: http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=432744 for the added inspiration. [/IMG] [/IMG] [/IMG] [/IMG] Okay guy's, thats all for now. I will be returning to the project in the next few weeks and hope to finnish it for early January for a three month trip to Mexico! There will be more to come as i will be documenting the entire build. Salud!
