The Dwarves
Born in Illinois in the mid 80's as a paisley garage band, by 1989 they had morphed into fire breathing California grunge icons, putting Sub/Pop on the map with their seminal "Blood, Guts and Pussy" album. Performing with many top acts and spanning the globe the Dwarves gained a reputation for live madness and mayhem that follows them to this day. "The Dwarves are Young and Good Looking" and "The Dwarves Come Clean" released by Epitaph during the 1990s cemented the Dwarves reputation as hardccore heroes while introducing a pop sensibility that both titillated and confounded their fans. Appearances on television and radio, soundtracks for films and dvds and tours throughout Europe, Japan and the world have warped a whole new generation of Dwarves fans, proving once again that the scum also rises.
The Queers! Together at Last!
The Queers are a pop punk band from Portsmouth, New Hampshire, formed in 1982. Singer/Guitarist/Songwriter Joe King has been the principal member of the group, with a vast number of musicians cycling in and out of the band over the years. Supposedly, the band name 'Queers' was used simply to poke fun at what he called the "Art Fag" community in NH. That same brand of humor and inanity has become a staple of The Queers music, who have produced songs such as "Can't Stop Farting", "PlayBorn to Do Dishes", and "PlayI Didn't Get Invited To The Prom" in their own Ramones-esque style. While some punk rock bands attempt to use their music to impart a social or political message, King has made it clear that The Queers exist simply to play punk rock for the fun of it. The Queers play a Ramones style of pop punk with songs about girls and beer.
Atom Age
Horn tinged 21st Century Rock 'N' Roll band from Oakland, CA beating Rock 'N' Roll dead just one more time.

Revision as of 08:32, 28 September 2014
The morphogenic virus was a degenerative disease created by the rogue Federation agency Section 31 as a means to attack the Founders of the Dominion, and end the threat they posed to the Alpha Quadrant.
In 2372, while the Changelings were threatening Earth with apparent invasion, Captain Benjamin Sisko and Constable Odo provided assistance in trying to hunt down the shapeshifters. Odo submitted to a thorough bio-examination at Starfleet Medical in the hopes of helping Starfleet discover a means of detecting or stopping the Changelings. However, at the same time, Section 31 secretly infected Odo with the disease in the hopes that Odo would carry it back to the Great Link, where it would infect all of the remaining Founders. Odo did just that when he was forced to return to the Link late that year to face 'judgment' for killing another changeling. Odo himself was never meant to contract the virus, but a mutation in his morphogenic matrix, possibly from his being changed into a solid and then back again, caused him to develop symptoms. (DS9: "Homefront", "Paradise Lost", "Broken Link", "When It Rains...", "The Dogs of War")
The disease took time to incubate, and only progressed as the individual Changelings changed form; thus, more rapid form-changing would lead to a more rapid progression of the disease. The disease began to manifest itself in the Female Changeling in early-2375. Odo first learned of the existence of the virus at this time due to his contact with a Weyoun clone, though he still was not aware that he was a carrier. To avoid showing weakness, the Founders attempted to hide the existence of the disease from the Cardassians. Meanwhile, they had teams of Vorta doctors working day and night to find a cure. The Founders would periodically execute these doctors and activate their clones for a "fresh perspective". (DS9: "Treachery, Faith and the Great River", "Tacking Into the Wind", "Penumbra")
Ironically, it was a Federation doctor who was able to cure the Founders. Julian Bashir, the chief medical officer of space station Deep Space 9, realized that Section 31 was responsible for the disease. He captured Section 31 agent Luther Sloan and used a multitronic engrammatic interpreter to extract the cure. The Federation Council debated giving the cure to the Founders, but decided that doing so would strengthen their hand. (DS9: "When It Rains...", "Extreme Measures")
The cure to the morphogenic virus was instrumental in ending the Dominion War. After the Dominion retreat to Cardassia Prime, Odo linked with the Female Changeling, curing her of the disease. The Founder then ordered the Dominion forces to surrender. Odo returned to the Great Link and cured the rest of his kind. (DS9: "What You Leave Behind")

Collections and Exhibits
In 1983, Ira F. Brilliant donated his collection of about 80 first editions to San José State University to establish the library and archives of the Beethoven Center. Now containing the largest collection of Beethoven materials in the western hemisphere, the Center's rare collections include manuscripts, historical keyboards, scores, books, objects, prints, and realia such as the Guevara Lock of Beethoven's Hair.
The library collections do not circulate, but many materials are available for browsing and use in the public reading room, including books, scores, sound recordings, and videos.
The Center's collection is being cataloged online on the Beethoven Gateway, available through the San José State University Library's online catalog. At present, about 80% of the Center's books and scores are listed in the database.
A growing digital collection of portraits, engravings, maps, first and early editions, and other materials in the Beethoven Center's collection is now available. You can help support this project by sponsoring an image. Download brochure

Do you know how many soldiers died at Little Big Horn? Neither do I. (Editor's note: about 270 US soldiers.) The story of the battle may be rattling around in our brains, but the specifics? Forget about it. If you have mastered time travel and are looking for someone to do your dirty work, why not zip back to that fateful day, grab someone who would have died, heal their wounds in the future, and then put them to work stitching up the ripped fabric of time? That's the premise of Darkest of Days, and while it's interesting on its surface, the game itself doesn't seem to want to explore the concepts it's built around.
|Darkest of Days
|8monkey Labs
|Phantom EFX
|$39.99 (PC) $49.99 (Xbox 360)
|Xbox 360 (reviewed), PC
The first issue? If you actually did have a man in futuristic armor pop into a battlefield and grab someone, what would that person think? Would their mind break? What would they think of the view screen through which they get their orders between missions? Darkest of Days keeps your character mute, and he seems to simply shrug and accept everything that's happening to him. He's sent to various wars to rescue people who can't die in order to keep the timeline safe, and the specifics of each conflict are explained to him as if he has our working knowledge of geography and politics.
It would be interesting to see our hero's newfound bosses explain what a shotgun is, talk about what led to each conflict and where they took place, or help him deal with the fact he's alone in a world he has no understanding of. Instead everyone treats the setup like this sort of thing happens everyday. The dialog itself sounds as if it were written by someone who speaks English as a second language, and if you turn on subtitles you'll be treated to a number of misspelled words and typos. Classy.
The game uses the brand new Marmoset engine, written specifically for this title, and the main feature seems to be the ability to show many enemies onscreen at once. The problem is the graphics, to put it bluntly, are ugly. On the 360 version the framerate is inconsistent, with a good amount of screen tearing and tiny pauses when you do something as simple as pull up the map or look down the barrel of your gun. This would have been impressive on the PC around five years ago, but doesn't get the job done these days.
Invisible walls also make an appearance; it's not rare to be stopped dead in your tracks while moving over the countryside towards your goal because the developer wanted you to go the other way. In one scene you're asked to hold off an advancing force, which proved rather easy. I thought it would be fun to head a few feet in front of the fortified position in order to make the battle a little more interesting, but I was stopped dead in my tracks by an invisible wall.
In another case, I was following a path, walked through a flowing creek while the water effects glitched once or twice around me, and then hit an invisible wall on the other side. You see, even though they told you that you can move forward and use any path to reach your goal in the missions briefing, they didn't mean that one.
I could go on. No one seems to be bothered by your futuristic weapons. The animations are clumsy, and running is more like a scurry as your gun bobs comically on the screen. Get behind a turret and marvel at the lack of rumble and the sound effects that make it sound like a peashooter. There are entire sections where you can simply run through groups of enemies... and those ever-present invisible walls.
In one nod to the time-traveling story you'll have to avoid killing enemies with blue auras around them; these are people that are supposed to live. You are given a weapon to take them out, or you can shoot them non-lethally, but you have to avoid killing them. You'll also bump into other groups of time travelers and... well, let's not give away too much of the story. A reference to the events of 9/11 may have seemed like a good idea during development, but it just comes off as vulgar in the main game. If you lost someone in the attacks, don't worry, they may simply be fighting their way through time.
The concept is great: take a rescued soldier from the past and send him around time to fix what's broken. But no one seems to take the situations that would result from that decision seriously. Turning the hero into an actual character instead of keeping him a mute nobody who never reacts to the extraordinary circumstances around him and making the enemies more than cardboard cutouts that exist only to run around and die might have salvaged this game, but that still wouldn't have helped the engine.
Even in the bargain bin, which is where you'll find this in a week or two, this is an easy one to pass on.

INDIANAPOLIS (CBSNewYork/AP) — The Knicks have looked downright anemic offensively and it doesn't appear their bench is getting much better, literally.
Guard J.R. Smith, the NBA's top sixth man, actually increased his shooting percentage in New York's loss in Game 3, playing just hours after spiking a 102-degree fever Saturday morning. He missed practice Sunday and Monday, but has promised to be ready for Game 4. Forward Kenyon Martin, who has been defending Indiana's big men, woke up feeling ill Sunday. He, too, has missed the last two practices. Both players are listed as questionable.
On Tuesday, guard Iman Shumpert joined the list of ailing players, sitting out with a sore left knee. Coach Mike Woodson said he is probable for Tuesday night.
The Knicks will need all the help they can get, on the road down 2-1 in their best-of-seven series.
NBA scoring champion Carmelo Anthony and Smith are a combined 40 of 112 from the field against Indiana, and Anthony is trying to rebound from a dismal fourth quarter Saturday in which he had no baskets and only two points.
And New York has to break out of this funk against one of the NBA's stingiest defenses by winning on the road.
Could it get any worse for the Knicks?
"I wouldn't want to go back home down 3-1, so Tuesday's a pivotal game for us," Woodson said. "I have to get these guys pumped up and ready to go."
Things sound promising.
Following the latest loss, Anthony told reporters things would be different in Tuesday's rematch. When the Knicks returned to practice Sunday, they looked and sounded like a team that was more interested in staying composed than getting angry.
"There can't just be one or two guys out there," center Tyson Chandler said. "It has to be an entire time and that's where we're falling short right now."
Anthony said Game 4 will "tell us a lot about our team."
"This is a gut-check game for us," he said.
The Pacers might have even more to prove, though.
After starting the season with visions of reaching at least the conference finals, they are now just two wins away from achieving that goal. A year ago, they were in exactly the same spot — up 2-1 with Game 4 at home.
But Miami won the next three games, knocking the Pacers out of the playoffs and teaching them a valuable lesson.
"It shows that a 2-1 lead means nothing," Pacers guard George Hill said. "A team can make miracle plays and miracle games. So, we felt like this before last year up 2-1 and really kind of let our guard down in Game 4 and gave them back that momentum and they kicked us out the playoffs because of that. We just have to come into Game 4 with that same energy and effort, just like we're down 2-1 with our backs against the wall."
After blowing a chance to take command of the Eastern Conference semifinals in Game 2, the Pacers rebounded for an 11-point win in Game 3.
"We should approach this game the same way that they're going to approach it, and that's a must-win," Pacers swingman Paul George said Monday. "We've got to get this game. We've got to get this game under our belt, take care of our home court. That'll just set us up to take care of business on the road."
The Pacers couldn't have created a better blueprint.
Only two teams — Indiana and Memphis — started the week with perfect home playoff records. Indiana has won its four games by an average of 16.5 points and Memphis headed into Monday night's game with a 13-point victory margin at home. As for the Knicks, well, they're 0-3 at Bankers Life Fieldhouse this season.
Indiana also finished the regular season as the NBA's best rebounding team and has been even more dominant in the playoffs, something New York has learned the hard way. The Knicks have been beaten up on the glass in both losses and were outscored 20-10 on second-chance points Saturday night.
If the Pacers do that again in Game 4, the second-seeded Knicks probably will go home facing a 3-1 deficit in the best-of-seven series Eastern Conference semifinals.
"We don't want to get relaxed. We don't want to feel happy or complacent," George said. "We've got to come out and play, again, the same way that they're going to approach the game, and that's just with a lot of energy. We have to match their energy but still play our style of basketball."

Even General Motors recognizes that the current Chevrolet Malibu doesn't have much to write home about, so its 2014 "emergency refresh" comes with a host of improvements including a more efficient base engine. Maybe too efficient, in fact, because now there's no reason to buy the hybrid.
Automotive News has the scoop on the new 2.5-liter four cylinder engine, which boasts 25 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway. You could buy that. Or you could spend $2,300 more for the Chevrolet Malibu Eco hybrid, whose eAssist hybrid system gets 25 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway.
Say it with me now: Huh?
Actually, Chevrolet kind of knew this would happen. As per AN's report, Eco model sales have accounted for less than 10 percent of total Malibu sales, so they're hoping this new base model car will punch things up a bit. From their story:
GM bills eAssist as a modestly priced fuel economy package, compared to full hybrids, that produces a nice boost in mileage. The system also uses a stop-start system. But it also utilizes a lithium ion battery in the trunk, regenerative braking and a small electric motor to assist the 2.4-liter engine under heavy loads, such as when merging into highway traffic.
But advances in the efficiency of regular gasoline engines can nullify the fuel economy edge of the eAssist system, says Alan Baum, a suburban Detroit auto analyst who tracks hybrid technology. The base 2013 Nissan Altima, which has a 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine, has a 27/38 mpg rating without use of electrification or a stop-start system.
And to the Malibu's credit, its combined 29 mpg rating is better than the Toyota Camry, Ford Fusion, Kia Optima and Hyundai Sonata.
The big takeaway from this seems to be that if you want to go hybrid, you have to go big or go home. So-called "mild hybrid" systems like the one on the Malibu Eco represent such negligible gains in fuel economy as standard gasoline engines become more efficient that they may end up becoming irrelevant.
In the meantime, if someone you know is considering buying the 2014 Malibu Eco hybrid, talk them into saving some of their money.

Indian fashion industry headed for big time: Neeta LullaOct 19, 2013 Nivedita
New Delhi, Oct 19 (IANS) In her 26 years of styling and designing, Neeta Lulla has seen multifarious changes in the industry and says business is booming thanks to the fashion awareness of the people and their fondness for dressing up.
"The Indian fashion industry is headed to become a very serious business due to the immense fashion awareness in our country and demands of trendy garments pan all strata of our society. The biggest change has been branded garments and ready to wear clothing," Lulla told IANS in an interview.
She also feels that one of the most beautiful things about Indian culture is the "sola shringar" of the bride so "I think dressing is here to stay."
Lulla is amongst the most awarded fashion designers in the country with four National Film Awards in her kitty. She won the prestigious awards for her work in "Lamhe", "Devdas", "Baalgandharva" and "Jodhaa Akbar".
During her career, she has styled the look for some of the finest Indian films and biggest stars and worked with many prominent directors.
She has worked in over 300 films in more than seven languages in Indian and international projects and has now added another feather to her cap by designing for period drama "Kochadaiiyaan - The Legend", the country's first Photorealistic Performance Capture Film.
Starring southern matinee idol Rajinikanth, the film has been directed by his daughter Soundarya Rajinikanth Ashwin. The cast also has names like R. Sarath Kumar, Deepika Padukone, Jackie Shroff, Shobana and Aadi Pinisetty.
"Being a part of 'Kochadaiiyaan' is definitely a milestone in my career. I have crafted and conceptualized the entire look for each of the characters in the movie," Lulla said.
"This project is different from my previous Bollywood projects because 'Kochadaiiyaan - The Legend' is India's first Photorealistic Performance Capture Film. The highlight, however, remains designing the look of Rajinikanth, who stars as a legendary mythological character in the film," she added.
Crafting the perfect look required a lot of research. Around 150 costumes per character were designed on paper and 20 to 25 of these were selected and detailed.
The designer also created a range of 20 to 30 looks, especially for Rajinikanth's armour suit, as well as for the supporting cast of "Kochadaiiyaan".
"The costumes were created on a sketch format first in colour then a croqui created by CG technicians for Rajini sir. Detailing was added to it. The process took almost six-eight months of sketching and re-sketching details.
"A lot of research was conducted to achieve the right looks, especially to create it in apt colors with the right fabric; its dull luster and embroidery details," she said.
Even jewellery required a lot of research.
"It required sketches and eventually mounted in form. The armour had a lot of detailing that was achieved through careful understanding of its movement and appeal in keeping with the era," she said.
What changes has she noticed in costune designing in Bollywood in over two decades?
"There were lots of changes in Bollywood between the 1980s and 1990s. The silhouettes developed a mature definition and there was a sense of elegance," said the designer, who considers Sridevi and Hema Malini as the most stylish Indian celebrities.
Internationally, she choose Sienna Miller and Helen Miren.

BINS have been searched, posters put up and dozens of leaflets posted to residents.
As the hunt for clues goes on, a cash reward is on offer of £145.
But the search being conducted is not for a person – it is for one little boy's lost toy monkeys which were in a case along with some of his clothes.
Didcot residents are going ape in their efforts to find the two cuddly creatures – which five-year-old Charlie Lewis has slept with since the day he was born.
Little Charlie said: "Whoever has them can keep my clothes and my suitcase if they want, but all I want back is my monkeys. I miss them."
Now his mum Catherine is doing everything she can to get them back.
The toys were inside a suitcase decorated with pictures from children's book The Very Hungry Caterpillar, which was left at the car park in Regent Gardens, Fleet Meadows, in Didcot.
Inside, there were the cheeky monkeys along with a change of Charlie's clothes.
Ms Lewis, 34, said: "He's had them since he was born. One of them was given to him by his grandma, and the other one was from his other grandma.
"He has slept with them every night since he was born. They're his absolute favourite – they are part of the family."
When picking Charlie up after a weekend at his dad's in Didcot, Ms Lewis put Charlie safely in his car seat – and then got into the driver's seat without picking up the suitcase.
It was not until four hours later, after stopping by her mum's for a birthday tea, that Ms Lewis noticed that the suitcase was missing.
Ms Lewis, who lives in Wantage, said: "I feel so guilty. I need to get them back.
"I've done everything I can think of. We went round and gave out 190 leaflets. We've searched through bins, we've got posters, and hundreds of people have shared it on Facebook."
Friends and strangers have been offering money as an incentive for the toys to be returned, and the reward now stands at £145.
Charlie's aunt Niki Lewis said: "It's purely an incentive to motivate whoever has picked it up to do the right thing and return a little boy's beloved toys."
Catherine said: "It's amazing how many people have offered money. He's a little five-year-old boy and it's touched a lot of people."
One donor was Sharday George, who gave £5. She said: "I know how devastated my little brother was when he lost his teddy.
"He wouldn't sleep properly for months. I hope they get found."

For Taste or Nutrition? Charlotte's Pure Pizza Puts You to the Test
Pure Pizza
224 East 7th Street, Charlotte, NC 28202 (map); 980-207-0037; www.purepizzaclt.com
Pizza Style: Artisinal
Pizza Oven: Electric Impingement
The Skinny: Good mix of healthy and traditional doughs with excellent toppings and local ingredients
Price: small Margherita, $9.95; large T-Rex, $19.95
When the word "wholegrain" is used in conjunction with "pizza," I am usually "out." But when I learned that renowned baker Peter Reinhart, author of American Pie and founder of Pizza Quest, came up with a new sprouted grain dough for Charlotte's Pure Pizza, it immediately became detour-worthy on a recent trip to North Carolina. You can read up on the process of making sprouted grain bread for yourself (read: my feeble mind does not completely understand it), but the party line is, "all the nutrition of whole wheat flour with the taste of white." So is there truth in advertising? Sort of.
Pure Pizza is nestled inside the 7th St. Market, an upscale farmer's market/food court in Charlotte's uptown, and many of their toppings can be sourced to their neighbors. They're big on organic, so even the ingredients that aren't local, like the excellent Bianco DiNapoli tomatoes, are top shelf (though I'm not a fan of the BelGioioso fresh mozzarella). For those less invested in nutrition, they also serve a "Classic Neapolitan" pie (though I think they forgot to stick a neo- in front of Neapolitan), and for people vastly more concerned with their health, they even dish up a sprouted grain gluten-free crust.
That's all wonderful but how does sprouted grain, "the next frontier of baking," taste, you ask? Well, to say it's the best wholegrain pie I've ever had isn't a stretch...but since I've only had about four of them in my lifetime, it's not exactly high praise. The flavor is definitely lighter, sweeter, and altogether more satisfying than whole wheat for me, but I don't think anyone's going to mistake it for something made from bread flour.
I ordered a Margherita to get a baseline on the sprouted grain, and the heartier flavor ended up overwhelming the sauce and cheese. There wasn't a hint of the balance you'd hope for. However, considering that many "regular" shops fail the same test, I think the choice of toppings was a little unfair.
The dealbreaker for me ended up being texture. The ends are soft and spongey inside and out, like the slightly dense crumb of a loaf of wheat bread. It looks right on the outside, but there isn't a hint of crisp to be found. Everyone has a different threshold for what they'll compromise for their health, and mine appears to be the consistency of pizza crust.
I know for a fact that a specialty pie would have worked much better on the sprouted grain for me because the toppings on the next pie were killer. The "T. Rex" is aged Grande mozzarella with this redonkulous local bacon and ground beef, and it is simple and awesome and it would taste good on any pie...but it tasted particularly good on a "regular" pizza crust (if you can call a Reinhart recipe that). Delicate and airy with just a hint of crisp, it has enough flavor to set the palette for the goodness piled on top. And if you're bummed that you can't tell your friends about this crazy new sprouted grain pizza you had, you can at least mention that the organic bread flour was locally grown and milled. Whether you can taste the difference is a question for another day, but I respect Pure Pizza keepin' it in the community.
Probably the most surprising part of the visit was seeing a very solid pie roll out of a somewhat compact electric impingement conveyor oven—a necessity given their limited storefront space. It's definitely the best pizza I've ever had that came off a belt (pizzas actually cook directly on it) and I've had plenty of those. Further proof that one does not require a wood-burning oven for a quality artisan pizza.
I didn't get to go through the rest of the menu, but it looks fun. They've got pulled pork and wild salmon from Charlotte's "barbecue provocateur" Dan The Pig Man, local chorizo, and whatever veggies are in season at the time. This is in addition to exotic daily specials like a recent Thanksgiving pie that featured fried turkey, spinach, smoked mozz, bacon, onion, and housemade cranberry sauce.
I would be remiss not to mention the pure (and yes, local) honey that managing partner Juli Ghazi sends out with every pie. A dipping sauce usually signifies a lack of confidence in the crust, but the honey, especially the one I had that was infused with cinnamon, pairs outrageously well with the sprouted grain. What really solidified it was dipping the regular crust—not a match. I could honestly see myself going sprouted grain sometimes just to soak it in goodness.
Given the pedigree of the ingredients, you can probably figure out the one major drawback here. Local doesn't mean cheap, and organic usually means the opposite...but given the quality I could taste, the prices seemed reasonable enough to me. The only other pizza I've ever had in Charlotte was at Reinhart's recently deceased Pie Town (where some of the Pure Pizza crew came from), so I'm not sure exactly where Pure Pizza is in the pantheon, but the good people of North Carolina are welcome to educate me in the comments.
In a perfect world I probably would have tried Pure Pizza a couple more times before writing it up, but since Charlotte is 2,400 miles away and going back would mean seeing my in-laws again, we're kind of stuck. Will the health benefits of sprouted grain eventually take precedence over our love of traditional pizza? Speaking for myself, I pray to all that is holy that this is not the case. However, as baking science develops and the taste improves, is there a possibility that sprouted grain will one day overtake refined flour? Perhaps. The nice thing about Pure Pizza is that no one has to make any rash decisions quite yet.

It has been an exciting first season in the Big Sky Conference for the University of North Dakota Football team!
It has been an exciting first season in the Big Sky Conference for the University of North Dakota Football team! UND will host their final home game of the regular season this Saturday, November 3, at the Alerus Center. I definitely appreciate the opportunity to watch football indoors at the beginning of November in North Dakota!
The Convention & Visitors Bureau has been a proud sponsor of the Tailgating Village outside the Alerus Center for the last two seasons, and this year we designated a "Tailgater of the Game" at each home game with the winner(s) receiving prize packages valued at $250. This Saturday the "Tailgater of the Year" will be crowned from the pool of the past five winners. This recipient will receive a prize package valued at $500 along with bragging rights and a flag designating the title!
These high-spirited UND Football fans fill the Alerus Center parking lot hours before each game with food, festivities and fun. Here are the game winners and the entries for "Tailgater of the Year":
August 30 – Al Pearson has been enjoying UND Football since 1961, and when he is tailgating he is decked out in UND gear and socializing with other fans of all ages!
September 8 – Erich Hatwig, from Hallock, MN, has been tailgating for the past four years. He does it because he loves socializing and meeting new people while showing his love of UND Football. This group was chosen as "Tailgater of the Game" due to their energy and friendliness!
September 29 – This group of 60 people headed up by Scott Kosmatka, Todd Anvinson, Chris Misialek, Orin Knutson and Dave Lind, brought a pick-up grill, which is a 1966 Chevy converted to a grill, which is under the hood. No matter what the temperature is outside, this group is here, and they support all UND athletics.
October 13 – Sandy Berg has been tailgating at the UND Homecoming Football for the past five years; driving all the way to Grand Forks from Georgia! They had 15 tailgaters with them and an airplane as part of their props! This group knows how to warm the hearts of UND fans!
October 20 – This team includes Kevin and Kathy Smith and Dana and Janel Hermes. They have been showing their UND spirit since 1999. They are parents of former players, and the excitement of UND Football has been keeping them coming back. They love UND Football so much they many times take the trailer to away games and have people join them and sign the inside of their trailer. At this game their group of 15 was feeding guest high school teams.
Will you be at Saturday's game? Who do you think should win the honor of "Tailgater of the Year"?

As Christians we are called to take care of God's creation (Gen. 1:26). That includes taking care of animals, but what about the "sport" of hunting? Is that a biblical practice or is it a sin?
The command in Genesis 1:26 includes caring for creation, but more broadly it indicates that man is to "rule" over creation. The Hebrew word radah means "tread" and by extension "have dominion" as those possessing authority over other creatures. Thus man is to exercise a stewardly care and oversight over the created order as the Creator's representative (Ps. 8:5), and also to benefit from the bounty of creation as he tends and keeps it (Ps. 104:14–15). With respect to hunting animals, one of the purposes is to use the animal for food, and so would be legitimate according to God's word to Noah in Genesis 9:3, "Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you."
There is also a recreational aspect to the sport of hunting, and here some distinctions should be drawn. If a hunter merely takes pleasure in shooting wildlife indiscriminately, and so leaves dead carcasses to rot in the wilderness, this would not be justified by Scripture since it would be an action meant only to satisfy one's violent desire. Proverbs 12:10 says, "Whoever is righteous has regard for the life of his beast, but the mercy of the wicked is cruel." This implies that cruelty extended to animals (in this case domestic) would be an expression of sinfulness. If, however, a hunter finds pleasure in the "sport" of hunting as other ends are also carried out—for example, the procurement of animal skins, enforcing population and pest control, gathering food, etc.—then hunting would fall under that activity of the image-bearer described in Genesis 1:26. Whether as part of one's vocation or avocation, being a hunter is permissible according to the Bible. Examples are Nimrod in Genesis 10:9 and Esau in Genesis 25:27.
"Questions and Answers" is a weekly feature of the OPC website. The answers come from individual ministers in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church expressing their own convictions and do not necessarily represent an "official" position of the Church, especially in areas where the Standards of the Church (the Scriptures and the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms) are silent.
The questions come from individuals like yourself. If you have questions about biblical and theological matters, you are invited to send them by e-mail by using the "Pose a Question" link on the OPC home page or by clicking here.
At least one new question is posted each week, so there should always be something new here for you to read. (For those people who would like to look at previous questions and answers, they will continue to be available as well.)
The purpose of the OPC website's "Questions and Answers" is to respond to biblical and theological questions. Matters of church discipline, disputes, or debates go beyond the scope of our work. We recommend that you present your concerns in these areas to the appropriate judicatory. In most cases this will be to a local pastor, elder, or session. We do not want the website to replace personal involvement in, or commitment to, the local, visible church.
While we will respond to every serious questioner, we are not bound to give a substantive answer to every question, should we deem the question to be beyond the scope of our purpose or our own ability to answer.
You will receive an answer by e-mail. Please be patient as many of our respondents are busy pastors. The response to your question may take up to two (2) weeks. Some of the questions submitted will be chosen to be posted here, along with the corresponding answers.
Note that the "Questions and Answers" posted on the site have been editedall personal references are removed, Scripture references or from some source may be added, and sometimes portions are expandedto make the questions and answers more useful to a larger audience.

Those of us that served in Vietnam will never forget the sound of the huey...NEVER. LZ NAM personally designed this coin and you won't find it anywhere else. The coin was made small enough (1 1/2 inches in length) that you can carry it around in your pocket, wallet or if you like, just for that special collection you have.
This coin has both 2D and 3D images. On the front of the coin it reads VIETNAM: THE HELICOPTER WAR and under that is of course the most recognized United States service ribbon...the Vietnam Service Ribbon. Under that is a UH-1C helicopter gunship.
On the reverse side of this one of a kind coin the images of the Memorial Burial Flag and the Purple Heart with the Purple Heart Ribbon affixed on top.
Also some helicopter statistics from the Vietnam War.
> 36 Million Sorties
> 11,827 Helicopters Served
> 5,086 Helicopters Lost
> 4,906 Crew Deaths
> Thousands Of Lives Were Saved Because Of The Helicopter And The Brave Crews That Served Aboard These "Birds".
During the Vietnam War, the United States relied on the helicopter as never before. The helicopter's role in combat expanded enormously in this conflict as thousands of "choppers" rapidly transported personnel throughout the war zone. Heavily armed helicopters offered a fearsome component to ground operations as close air support. Mobility and firepower would be the keys for American operations in Vietnam, and the helicopter provided an abundance of both. But the role of the helicopter in support activities in the Vietnam War must not be overlooked, as thousands of missions were flown to resupply and reinforce troops on the ground, to evacuate American and South Vietnamese wounded, and to offer countless other services in pursuance of the war effort. The UH-1 "Huey" is the ubiquitous symbol of the American war in Vietnam. Indeed, the Vietnam War was the Helicopter War.
This is truly a beautiful one of a kind challenge coin not just for us Nam vets that served in chopper units, but for all Vietnam veterans. (Individually poly bagged)

Robert G. was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. We asked him a few questions to see how this has affected his life. Robert is 47 years old, married with 2 children ages 17 and 21. He was formerly in the restaurant business but now is a software engineer.
How did you find out you had type 2 diabetes:
Early in January 2003, I noticed an increase in thirst and urination and suspected that I had diabetes. I called my doctor to find out the results of my physical from the year before. I learned that my blood sugar at that appointment was 180. I asked for a follow-up visit. Prior to my appointment, I noticed that I could no longer read things I was able to read 2 months earlier -- my vision had been affected.
The visit confirmed that I had diabetes and that my Hemoglobin A1c was 12.3!
How has diabetes impacted your life?
It has refocused my attention on diet and exercise.
What steps do you currently take to manage your diabetes?
I eat less carbohydrate than before. I have increased my weekly exercise to 5 times per week including swimming, walking and weights. I take a diabetes drug, metformin, each morning. I check my blood sugar at home about 3-4 times per week.
Have you lost weight? Had you tried to lose weight before?
Yes. I have used both diet and exercise to various degrees of success. I have lost 50 pounds since May 2002. I would like to lose another 70 pounds.
I had used both diet and exercise to various degrees of success in the past but I was not consistent.
Have you been able to maintain your motivation and momentum?
Yes, for the most part. But life does seem to get in the way sometimes. Last year my Mom died and this year I've had various work related deadlines and my daughter was applying to college. These things make sticking with the diet and maintaining my exercise schedule more difficult
Did you have to give up any of your favorite foods?
Yes, pretzels, and greatly reduced amounts of pizza, potatoes, and pasta -the 4 P's. Also I've reduced my intake of bread products.
Did you change any other lifestyle aspects? Exercise? Stress?
You bet. I am much more consistent about swimming, weight lifting and walking/running. Plus I've tried new things like yoga and snowshoeing. I also joined the YMCA. I highly recommend it.
Do you feel differently now than when you were initially diagnosed?
Yes, I feel much better. My secret wish is to wind up on the cover of Men's Health magazine as an after picture and success story.
My health is better, I have more energy and I look better.
What would you say to someone who was just diagnosed with diabetes?
Look at it as an opportunity to make your life better. We all go through life saying we should exercise more or wishing our body shape was better or that we if we felt better we could do different activities. Now, here is your opportunity to accomplish that and avoid or reduce all of the side effects associated with diabetes.
Is there anything you'd like to add?
Having a nutritionist as a task master and guide definitely helps. Also, if your doctor does not take your diabetes seriously - then get a new doctor.
By the way, my hemoglobin A1c is now 5.3.

Hunter Mountain
Because "Huntah" is just two and a half hours from the Long Island Expressway, it swarms with skiers in jeans, leather jackets, and no gloves yelling, "Hey Joey! I'm doin' it!" But the two-summit resort is not all about the urban-rowdy scene. The six expert runs on Hunter West can seem downright deserted. Most of the advanced runs offer at least one steep pitch to let you get up to cruising speed. And man-made snow covers the whole mountain—more than 1,000 guns blow an average of 95 inches a year, rightly justifying the tagline "Snowmaking Capital of the World." Just don't forget the edge tune-up before you go: When the blower pow sloughs off the underlying ice and the leather-coat crew hits the lodge, the skiing gets truly challenging.
Powder Day: Hit the Snowlite Express quad at 8:30 and take four fast laps on Hellgate and Racer's Edge — both are steep, straight, and wide enough for powder-sharing. Then move to the 34-degree pitch of Westway, the widest and steepest shot on the mountain.
Three days later: The hill is blown; head out of bounds.
Must Hit: The crosscut moguls of 33-degree Lower K-27 challenge all but the smoothest skiers.
The Stash: Stick to Annapurna's fringes (or the tight glades that flank it) for the best snow. Just watch out for the rocks on skier's left.
Backcountry Access: Hunter's OB is in state forest and thus legal. Shuffle out the ridge, past the top of Y Lift, to The Ravine. From there it's 1,000 feet down through maple and ash to the return cat track. Or duck out the maintenance road between Upper and Lower K-27: Go farther for steeper turns—but less vert.
Local's Take: "Ski it east to west. The east is really more southeast, so that's where the sun comes up and first softens the snow." —Doug Schmidt, junior race coach.
Weather: Much of the natural precipitation is liquid, so accept the free poncho and just deal with it—there's no ice when it's raining. Temps average 25 degrees from December to early March.
Don't Miss: Enjoy the live bands and watch the wipeouts at the Pond Skimming and Beach Bash, the last weekend of the season.
Apres: The bay windows of the Main Bar, in the base lodge, offer commanding views of the Catskills. On weekends grab a Heineken draught and sushi from the Summit Lounge.
Fuel: The $2.50 egg sandwich at Maggie's Krooked Café, on Main Street in Tannersville, is a much-appreciated Big Apple import. The best java is at the Mostly Coffee Café, a cart in the main lodge. Pancho Villa's serves up burritos the size of Mexico.
Up All Night: The jam bands at Tequillas Tex-Mex on Route 23A (yes, two Ls, no idea why) recall those of your college hangout. At Slopes in Tannersville, clubbers rage to three DJs (brought from NYC) on three different floors till 4 a.m.
Digs: The Mountain Bike Inn (mountain-bikeinn.com) has simple rooms with private baths from $60. The Washington Irving Inn ($125—$155; washingtonirving.com) is a 110-year-old Victorian B&B with afternoon tea.
Elevation: 3,200 feet
Vertical Drop: 1,600 feet
Snowfall: 125 inches
Acres: 240
Getting There: Hunter is 132 miles from New York City. Take I-87 north to Exit 20, then route 32 north to 23A west.

text: Farmers in Iowa and other states in the Mississippi River Basin are getting a lot of attention for their supposed contributions to the Hypoxia Zone in the Gulf of Mexico. Whether farmers are totally to blame or not remains a matter of conjecture, but Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey believes his state needs to take a proactive approach to the issue. Northey, a farmer from Spirit Lake, Iowa, outlined the Iowa Statewide Nutrient Reduction Initiative at the Integrated Crop Management Conference at Iowa State University Dec. 2. The conference attracts about 800 crop consultants and agronomists to Ames, Iowa annually.

Utah State University's biofueled dragster has done it again. After a successful 2012 race season powered with yeast biodiesel, the Aggie A-Salt Streamliner, as the race car is officially known, topped 73 miles per hour this week during its algae-fueled debut. The roadster, with a .8 liter engine, was among competitors at the Southern California Timing Association's 65th Anniversary Speed Week held Aug. 10-16, 2013, at Utah's Bonneville Salt Flats.
Under glaring sun on the natural salt pan raceway located about 120 miles west of Salt Lake City, the USU-built car set a new land-speed record Aug. 14 racing with USU-crafted biodiesel distilled from algae grown in the university's labs.
"With this opportunity, we've demonstrated the beautiful cycle of transforming sunlight and carbon dioxide into energy," says Lance Seefeldt, professor in USU's Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. "It also underscores the remarkable efforts of an interdisciplinary, USTAR-initiated project involving USU's colleges of agriculture, science and engineering."
Last year, the same vehicle sped to a land-speed record on yeast biofuel derived from the industrial waste of cheese production. That trial, the researchers say, laid the groundwork for the upgrade to algae fuel, which the team describes as "completely renewable."
"Our yeast fuel is renewable, but it's based on petroleum-fueled dairy production," Seefeldt says. "Our goal is really the holy grail of renewable energy development — we want to develop a biofuel that can be mass-produced without the use of fossil fuels."
The car's performance this week represents eight years of hard work by "a lot of students," says USU biochemist Alex McCurdy, a doctoral candidate in Seefeldt's lab. "It's the culmination of efforts by plant scientists who grew the algae, biochemists who refined the fuel, and mechanical engineers who built the car."
Hefting a jar with 1.3 liters of golden fluid, McCurdy says it took about six pounds of dried algae and several years of research to produce the 'liquid sunlight.' With support from a U.S. Department of Energy grant, McCurdy, Seefeldt and undergraduate biochemist Michael R. Morgan, driver of the race car, joined professor Bruce Bugbee and his students in USU's College of Agriculture and Applied Sciences, as well as professor Byard Wood and his students in USU's College of Engineering, to streamline the process.
"Several groups around the nation are trying to mass produce algae biodiesel but it is difficult to lower the production costs to make it competitive with petroleum diesel," says Curtis Adams, doctoral student in USU's Department of Plants, Soils and Climate and a researcher on the project. "Lowering those costs is our research focus."
Figuring out how to reduce costs requires a merger of plant physiology and biochemistry.
"We're learning how to trigger production of biodiesel precursor compounds using precision stress as we grow the algae," Adams says.
"We're also refining the downstream processing, which includes techniques to purify the biodiesel," Morgan adds.
Most biodiesel in the United States is currently produced from soybeans, which are a source of protein for people and livestock.
"Soybeans have uses beyond biofuel that offset the cost of production," McCurdy says. "Similarly, we're working with private partners interested in growing algae for value-added compounds to offset the costs of algae biodiesel production."
In terms of performance, USU researchers are now confident in the algae fuel's ability to eventually compete with petroleum and more established biofuels.
"Our fuel-testing trials indicate algae biodiesel is comparable in performance to petroleum and mass-produced soybean biodiesel," Morgan says. "And the emissions are cleaner."
Seefeldt notes toxic oxides of nitrogen — known as NOx emissions — from petroleum diesel engines are a major cause of smog that obscures landscapes of Utah and beyond.
"Creating a fuel that reduces emissions could significantly improve air quality," he says.
The USU roadster is headed to Utah's west desert to race again during the Utah Salt Flats Racing Association's 2013 World of Speed event Sept. 7-10.

The Comedy Club at Bay Street Theatre continues its series of all-star stand-up acts on Monday, July 22, with David Brenner. Known for his hilarious and brutally honest commentary on everyday life, Brenner is no stranger to the Bay Street Theatre stage, having performed there twice before. Dan's Papers talked with the comedian about his career, family and more.
A Philadelphia native, Brenner looks back on his childhood and adolescence there fondly and believes his roots there keep him grounded.
"I still have some family there, and my best friends are the guys that I grew up with there since first grade," he says, noting that his friendships proved invaluable as his career took off.
"When I was riding high, it didn't matter; to these guys, I'm just David Brenner."
Brenner believes in keeping his two "personas" separate. "When I step off the stage, I'm me. The person. When my foot hits the stage, I'm the persona, the comedian. If you and I were backstage and discussing, say, what's going on in Egypt, I do my show, step off the stage, come back and continue our talk. I go back to being me. I don't have this idea of, 'I'm a star.'"
Growing up in Philadelphia provided Brenner with many interesting life experiences—like being in a Jewish gang, for example.
"It was a really rough neighborhood. I was a great negotiator," he says with pride. "And humor played a major part in that. My father told me that if you get someone to laugh, they'll stop hating you. So what I'd say if they weren't going to back off, my last words were always this—'Is there anything I can do or say to change your mind in this matter?' And if not…well, then all hell would break loose," Brenner laughs.
Brenner credits his father with giving him the gift of humor, noting that skills can be learned, but "with this, you start talking [funny] when you're a little boy, it's a gift. You didn't do anything; you're just that way. Very lucky. It's genetics. Hopefully your genetics don't make you a robber, that's bad," he jokes. Brenner is also very close with his three sons and mentions that his middle son, Wyatt, is "a clone of me. I'm a clone of my father," noting that at times, they say the exact same thing at the exact same moment. "They're all very funny." Brenner laughs that they are very good sons. "They know [not to cause trouble]. I'll say, 'okay, do that again and you're out of the will!'" he jokes.
Although he has the distinction of having the most talk show appearances in television history (he was on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson 158 times!), Brenner acknowledges that his broadcast appearances are becoming fewer and far between.
"I don't get on TV much anymore because of the audience," he sighs.
"But my material is current. I was one of the only ones doing news topics back in 2000, before Jon [Stewart] came on with his show and other great guys like Lewis Black, but all of a sudden I'm an also-ran! I don't have the '18-35-year-old demographic' so I don't do very much television anymore. Now, most of my stuff is live."
He also thinks that the bar for quality comedy has been lowered significantly, with many comedians finding great success with poor material, noting "They say the cream always rises to the top…but I say, 'how do you find it in an ocean of milk?'"
Brenner is looking forward to returning to the Hamptons to perform at Bay Street.
"I never know what I'm going to do there," he laughs. "It's not a proscenium arrangement [a traditional theater stage], and it's not a theater in the round; it's a theater in a three-quarter round, which is great for stage plays. It's a challenge," he says. "I sometimes use [cue] cards, but where are you going to put cards there? So working there, I'll be winging it," he says happily. "I look forward to the engagement."
David Brenner will perform at the Bay Street Theatre on Monday, July 22. For tickets and more information, go to baystreet.org.

The problem
The Expression Problem, coined by Phil Wadler, describes a situation where you have a sum type and some operations on it; the problem is to be able to both add new cases to the sum type as well as add new operations. Some approaches, e.g. OOP, make it easy to add new disjuncts (just make a new subclass, and implement all the appropriate methods) but annoying to add new operations (you have to go back through and add a new method implementation for every existing class); others, e.g. algebraic data types, make it easy to add new operations (just write a new function) but annoying to add new disjuncts (you can add a new constructor to your data type but then you have to go through and add a new case to the implementation of every existing function).
This problem shows up, in a disguised form, in diagrams. Our "sum type" is the set of primitives that can be used to build diagrams; our "operations" are different backends. We have adopted a somewhat more dynamic solution: primitives can be any type, and backends declare which primitives they can handle by implementing an instance of
Renderable. This means that new primitives can be easily added (just make a new type; it does not require changing existing backends, which will simply not be able to render it) but also new backends.
This is sort of like having an algebraic data type for primitives, but allowing the backends (thought of as functions) to have "incomplete pattern matching", i.e. to simply not handle some primitives. Literally implementing it that way would be undesirable, however, because then handing a diagram to a backend which contained primitives it did not handle would cause the program to crash with a runtime pattern match failure.
The solution, and a Choice
Instead, the "algebraic data type" of primitives is left implicit, with each primitive simply represented by its own type. At this point, however, there are two choices, corresponding, essentially, to static vs. dynamic typing.
Static typing
This is the approach currently taken.

Dynamic typing

Zaun upset, would welcome trade
TORONTO — Upset over his diminished playing time this season, Blue Jays catcher Gregg Zaun told MLB.com on Tuesday that he would welcome a trade out of Toronto. The Marlins, who Zaun played for from 1996-98, were recently linked to the catcher in rumors.
"Trades are a part of baseball," Zaun said. "Things haven't worked out the way I planned them to this year here in Toronto. Getting an opportunity to play on a regular basis for a pennant contender, or going back to a place that I'm familiar with, it would probably be a good thing."
Blue Jays general manager J.P. Ricciardi confirmed that he's talked to the Marlins, as well as the Royals, about Zaun, but was quick to point out that there is little to no interest for the 37-year-old catcher.
"We're aware that Zaunie is unhappy," Ricciardi said. "We wish he wouldn't go through the media with it. We wish he would come to us, especially knowing we have a good relationship. Unfortunately, right now, there are no takers for him. If there are, we'll definitely oblige him.
"I think we've been a little bit more proactive than maybe Zaunie thinks," he continued. "Part of making a trade is someone has to want you. Right now, there's no one that has expressed an interest in him. That's where we're at."

Hineski is a pice of crap he robbed Toronto and now he gets a bad call from the umpires and thinks he is somebody that is one player I hate I hope he gets hurt and never plays again.If I sound mean today sorry but I hate this player.
If Zaun wants out release him and bring up Dias who needs a whiner on the team, He gets paid a lot of money to sit on the bench.
now the problem garry was having is happening with me too 😦
Jordan the problem is on your side to many of us are having the same problem.
Harry did you see Tiexera was traded today-the Angels got him
Someone really needs to take JP aside and teach him how to deal with the fan base and press. Two-three days ago, he hadn't made any calls at all, and now he's calling the world. He really needs to keep his mouth shut so he doesn't consistently put his foot in it and look like the fool he is.
I expect what happened with Miami and KC is they inquired on Barajas, and JP tried to push Zaun. He probably took Zaun aside and told him either he or Barajas were about to be traded and Zaun took it public to get out of here and on to a contending team for the last season of his career.
Of course Zaun has also forgot the Jays paid him 7.25 million over two years, which is probably more money than he made for the balance of his career. Nice payback.
The good news is Diaz kills the ball (over .350) against Lhanders and Barajas likes rhanders, so if we cant trade Barajas as well, at least we have a good l/r combo going.
Lind looks at the ball I wonder if it's fair DUH he should have been on first base.This is one game we will not win and tomorow will be another one, say goodbye to the wild card, But it might be a good thing if we finish under 500 maybe they will let JP go.
Really…did they say Tiexera is gonna sign long term with them? what are they gonna do with Casey Kotchman? and it makes sense the angels are in the playoff hunt? what did the angels give up for him (i am sure it was more than overbays worth)?
I was watching the game on gameday today and i just noticed that halladay's fastbll breaks more than Garza's slider.
Halladay Fastball = 8.5″
Garza Slider = 8.1″
That is amazing…a truly top tier pitcher.
Just read it…they gave up Casey Kotchman and Marek…makes sense but i would have tought that Angels would have kept Kotchmand (because he is only 25 and is doing pretty good) but apparently not.
Now i just feel that the JAYS COULD HAVE EASILY GOTTEN HIM. I was ready to give up Overbay Litsch and even Tallet (I thought they would've asked for someone like Lind's caliber but apparently they didn't). LA definately comes out on top of this one. STUPID J.P.
I think they would have jumped at my suggestion of Overbay and Tallet. We definately missed an opportunity. Marek is only a AA relief pitcher.
I still think Milwaukee would trade Escobar and Gamel for Ryan and either Tallet or Carlson; but JP has to make the call.
NO longer Tallet, it has to be Carlson who is even better than Tallet, i am not sure about Overbay and Tallet, because Overbay is not old and much worse than Kotchman but they might have…it would have definately been close.
Lets see JP is now making calls to other managers…lets hope for something.
We need to win this game, Boston, Minnesota and NY are both loosing. We could move a game up on all of them if we win.
I don't want to see Halladay go but I would not blame him if he asked to be traded the Blue Jays will never contend again,The GM is no good ,Just look at the Thomas deal and the trade for Rolen for Glaus and Overbay is a pig, To many poor players on this team and we won't be any better next year nouthing to cheer for.
Lackey has no hit the Sox for 9 innings; good for him, he has really struggled in Fenway.
Woops-sorry-9 innings so far
i must have a problem with my keyboard-its 8 innings
When LA put Tiexiera in that lineup, they are going to be tough to beat. With Guerrero, Hunter and Tiexiera. Speed at the top of the lineup and power 3 through 5. Ouch
Oh i agree with you, Figgins, Willis (do they still have him there) and then the power mongers with some speed, hunter and tiexiera can still run a bit, then anderson, rivera and …. they are i daresay much better than the yanks and probably better than the SOX.
With K-ROD, Lackey, Saunders, Santana their starting rotation is SOLID and we just talked about their lineup.
fIX THIS DAM BLOG PLEASE
In halladays 8 losses this year the Jays have only scored 7 runs he should be 16 and 4.
I'd say this trade might put LA over the top. They are real solid on everything. Speed, defense, power, pitching. THey're much stronger than Boston, and rival NY.
Both Halliday and MArcum have been let down by this offense
MLBlogs is having some kind of problem with their servers. It explains the problem here, its all mummbo jummbo to me anyway.
Its fixed for me…i think if you type mlbastian.mlblogs.com then it doesn't happen, if you use the link in the bluejays website thats the only time it happened to me….try it guys. I don't know how thats possible but who knows?
It did not work for me harry but thanks anyway.

Often times, our first brush with Lowriding comes from our family and friends, as these two groups of people obviously influence us a great deal. Such is the case with Anthony "El Vago" Heredia. As a child, Anthony would always see his uncle "Lazy Bear" cruising Chester Avenue and Niles Street in Bakersfield, CA. "I was hooked, I was completely addicted to custom cars," says Anthony with a laugh. "I was twenty-years-old when I was ready to get into the custom car scene and by then, there was a whole new scene. People around here weren't using hydraulics as much; they had switched to airbags and they were putting bigger wheels on trucks and SUVs." The new influence forced Anthony to make a decision, and he decided to evolve as well.
Anthony bought himself a 2007 Cadillac Escalade and in no time he had 26-inch wheels, an airbag suspension, and had the luxury SUV in a brilliant Candy Blue pattern. "I thought my truck looked good until I went to a car show in San Bernardino in 2010. There I saw a whole new level of car customizing and I started getting ideas for mine," he says. After only a year of having the Candy Blue paint on his truck, Anthony decided to redo the paint in order to be able to take his truck to the next level. The decision was more difficult than what he expected. "My painter kept buying pints of paint for three months and spraying samples until I found one that I was happy with."
For the interior, he decided to use different animal skins because his father always used to wear ostrich boots with a matching belt. "I asked Joe at California Upholster for stingray, elephant, and ostrich skins," he says. "I also wanted a design on the truck's headliner and my pinstriper Bobby Negrete came up with a sketch for Joe to use."
Now that the hard work is over, Anthony's truck is the way he had hoped it would be when he first began customizing it. Anthony would like to give thanks to his family for supporting him and helping him build his truck. He also sends thanks to his painter, Andy, for dealing with him, Bobby Negrete for doing the leafing, Joe for doing his upholstery, Jarboe Designs for adding the sound system, Tony from Tiarra Grills, and his Swift family as well for all they have done for him.
