The Cardinals Rally To Overcome…The Cardinals?
Was that the greatest World Series game ever played?
For games in which a team, having put itself on the precipice of elimination because of managerial and/or strategic incompetence, then stumbles all over itself in all the fundamentals for eight innings, and still manages to prevail? Yes – Game Six, Rangers-Cardinals, was the greatest World Series Game of all-time. I've never seen a team overcome itself like that.
But the Cardinals' disastrous defense (and other failures) probably disqualifies it from the top five all-time Series Games, simply because it eliminates the excellence requisite to knock somebody else off the list. Mike Napoli's pickoff of Matt Holliday was epic, and the homers of Josh Hamilton and David Freese were titanic and memorable. But history will probably judge the rest of the game's turning points (Freese's error, Holliday's error, Holliday's end of the pickoff, Darren Oliver pitching in that situation, the Rangers' stranded runners, Nelson Cruz's handling of the game-tying triple, the failures of both teams' closers) pretty harshly.
For contrast, in chronological order here are five Series Games that I think exceed last night's thriller in terms of overall grading.
1912 Game Eight: That's right, Game Eight (there had been, in those pre-lights days at Fenway Park, a tie). The pitching matchup was merely Christy Mathewson (373 career wins) versus Hugh Bedient (rookie 20-game winner) followed in relief by Smoky Joe Wood (who won merely 37 games that year, three in the Series). Mathewson shut out the Red Sox into the seventh, and the game was still tied 1-1 in the tenth when Fred Merkle singled home Red Murray and then went to second an error. But the Giants stranded the insurance run, and in the Bottom of the 10th, as darkness descended on Fenway (the first year it was open) there unfolded the damnedest Series inning anybody would see until 1986. Pinch-hitter Clyde Engle lofted the easiest flyball imaginable to centerfielder Fred Snodgrass – who dropped it. Hall of Famer Harry Hooper immediately lofted the hardest flyball imaginable to Snodgrass, who made an almost unbelievable running catch to keep the tying run from scoring and the winning run from getting at least to second or third. Mathewson, who had in the previous 339 innings walked just 38 men, then walked the obscure Steve Yerkes. But Matty bore down to get the immortal Tris Speaker to pop up in foul territory between the plate and first, and he seemed to have gotten out of the jam. Like the fly Holliday muffed last night, the thing was in the air forever, and was clearly the play of the inward rushing first baseman Merkle. Inexplicably, Mathewson called Merkle off, shouting "Chief, Chief!" at his lumbering catcher Chief Myers. The ball dropped untouched. Witnesses said Speaker told Mathewson "that's going to cost you the Series, Matty" and then promptly singled to bring home the tying run and put the winner at third, whence Larry Gardner ransomed it with a sacrifice fly.
1960 Game Seven: The magnificence of this game is better appreciated now that we've found the game film. And yes, the madness of Casey Stengel is evident: he had eventual losing pitcher Ralph Terry warming up almost continuously throughout the contest. But consider this: the Hal Smith three-run homer for Pittsburgh would've been one of baseball's immortal moments, until it was trumped in the top of the 9th by the Yankee rally featuring Mickey Mantle's seeming series-saving dive back into first base ahead of Rocky Nelson's tag, until it was trumped in the bottom of the 9th by Mazeroski's homer. There were 19 runs scored, 24 hits made, the lead was lost, the game re-tied, and the Series decided in a matter of the last three consecutive half-innings, and there was neither an error nor a strikeout in the entire contest.
1975 Game Six: Fisk's homer has taken on a life of its own thanks to the famous Fenway Scoreboard Rat who caused the cameraman in there to keep his instrument trained on Fisk as he hopped down the line with his incomparable attempt to influence the flight of the ball. But consider: each team had overcome a three-run deficit just to get the game into extras, there was an impossible pinch-hit three-run homer by ex-Red Bernie Carbo against his old team, the extraordinary George Foster play to cut down Denny Doyle at the plate with the winning run in the bottom of the 9th, and Sparky Anderson managed to use eight of his nine pitchers and still nearly win the damn thing – and have enough left to still win the Series.
1986 Game Six: This is well-chronicled, so, briefly: this exceeds last night's game because while the Cardinals twice survived two-out, last-strike scenarios in separate innings to tie the Rangers in the 9th and 10th, the Met season-saving rally began with two outs and two strikes on Gary Carter in the bottom of the 10th. The Cards had the runs already aboard in each of their rallies. The Red Sox were one wide strike zone away from none of that ever happening.
1991 Game Seven: I'll have to admit I didn't think this belonged on the list, but as pitching has changed to the time when finishing 11 starts in a season provides the nickname "Complete Game James" Shields, what Jack Morris did that night in the 1-0 thriller makes this a Top 5 game.
There are many other nominees — the Kirk Gibson home run game in '88, the A's epic rally on the Cubs in '29, Grover Cleveland Alexander's hungover relief job in 1926, plus all the individual achievement games like Larsen's perfecto and the Mickey Owen dropped third strike contest — and upon reflection I might be able to make a case to knock last night's off the Top 10. But I'm comfortable saying it will probably remain. We tend to overrate what's just happened (a kind of temporal myopia) but then again perspective often enhances an event's stature rather than diminishing it. Let's just appreciate the game for what it was: heart-stopping back-and-forth World Series baseball.

Your point about Cruz was right on. Any above average Right Fielder catches that sucker and game/series over.
As terrible as Cruz' fielding was there, it doesn't come close to the fielding incompetence of Bill Buckner that gave the Mets the win in Game 6 in 1986. 999 out of 1,000, any first baseman good enough to play Major League Baseball catches Mookie's grounder, and the game is over with the Red Sox winning the World Series. Cruz' fielding on that play was terrible, but Buckner's error was probably the single-biggest f-up by a fielder in World Series history.
I completely disagree with your opinion on the blunders. If anything, they make the game better. A dropped fly ball is more exciting than single through the infield and carries way more drama with it. That game last night was crazy and was definitely the best baseball game (or game, period) that I've ever watched.
I was thinking the same thing.
Don't see how you can disqualify last night because of the blunders and then talk about 1912, 1960, and 1986, which had their fair share of blunders as well.
Absolutely – in '86 the tying run scored on a wild pitch! The winning run went through a dude's legs! Pretty it was not. This year's Game 6 had healthy doses of horror and excellence. Despite Nelson Cruz's misadventures, Freese really did a phenomenal job of hitting. His game-tying triple was on a 98.6 mph heater (the fastest pitch he's hit in his entire CAREER). And the walk-off homer was on a changeup from Mark Lowe. Before that moment, righthanders had seen 44 changeups from Lowe. They put only 3 of them into play, all for outs.
1986 was ultimately won because of an error.
Won't knock what the Mets did to set things up prior to that error, but the fact is almost any other first baseman out there other than Buckner makes the catch and the game is over with the Red Sox winning the World Series. There was an enormous amount of luck in how that game turned out for the Mets.
It's interesting to read about Fred Merkle in 1912 considering what happened in 1908 against the Cubs (a historic moment I oddly hadn't heard of until I was watching Countdown with Keith Olbermann a few years ago). But speaking of boneheaded plays, I don't think a game has to be well-played to be a classic. It just has to be memorable. And last night's game had everything. My family didn't have a TV when I was a kid and they hate baseball (the Republicans!) but somehow I was able to see Game 6 of the 1986 World Series. I don't think that could be topped. For one thing, you can have blunders like Holliday and Buckner (to compare smaller things with large) but the greatest World Series moments have been between powerhouse teams. These Cardinals and Rangers are feisty and entertaining but they aren't great teams. The Red Sox and Mets had great teams– Game 6 of the NLCS was arguably more entertaining than Game 6 of the World Series, meaning the Mets had to get past a tough Astros team with ex-Met Nolan Ryan and Scott with his nail file. The story behind the film footage of 1960 is almost as interesting as the game. The Old Groaner Bing Crosby was too nervous to watch the game or didn't want to jinx it so he had it taped, and then Mazeroski hit it where the blue of the night meets the gold of the day. I was watching my Yankees DVD the other day and Whitey Ford was talking about how he should have pitched Game 1 and been lined up to pitch Game 7. The most memorable Game 6 for me: 2009. It ended eight years of misery.
Gary Carter wasn't the only batter to come up that inning with two strikes on him in 1986. Every Mets hit came with two strikes on the batter. Look at how many big hits that the Mets had in Game 7 with two strikes on them.
And beyond that – even if Buckner fields the ball, no way that he gets Mookie Wilson at first base. Watch the bottom of the screen on the replay. As the ball goes through, Mookie is turning first and heading for second. No way that Buckner (a terrific player for his whole career) beats him to first and Bob Stanley (who has never gotten "credit" for his contributions in that game or the Bucky Dent game in 1978) wasn't covering first. At the best for the Red Sox, it would have been men on 1st and 3rd with Howard Johnson coming up.
You and Keith are both wrong. Carter hit a single on 2-1. Knight was in the hole 0-2. That was the only time the Mets were one strike away from elimination (this year's Game 6 featured 2 such moments, to Freese and Berkman). As for "how many big hits" the Mets had in Game 7 with two strikes – only 2 of their RBI's came with two strikes, both times from Ray Knight.
And I just watched the Buckner replay again. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree, b/c to my eyes it looks like he has Mookie easily at first if he fields the ball cleanly. But I do agree about Bob Stanley – I think his wild pitch was more damaging to the Red Sox than Buckner's error (that's even born out mathematically – the WP lowered the Red Sox odds of winning by 41%, the error, 40%… although of course that's on average, and might not be true in this context).
Carter was 0-2. Bob Murphy (a great announcer, who is truly missed by Mets fans) was doing the play by play on the Mets broadcast prefaced the pitch that Carter hit by saying "And so, my friends…" as if he thought the next pitch would be the third strike. Kevin Mitchell and Ray Knight's singles were with two strikes (I'm not sure what the count was otherwise) and Mookie's grounder was with two strikes as well.
It looks to me that Mookie would have been safe to me even if Buckner had fielded it. Buckner was not a short distance from the base, because he had shifted a little bit towards second to compensatre for Marty Barrett, who was edging towards second, trying to pick off Ray Knight, who was way off of second (something Joe Garagiola noticed in the NBC broadcast, but not Bob Stanley). All of that contributed to Buckner's error.
The other point about Stanley – go back to the Bucky Dent game. He threw two pitches to Thurman Munson and Reggie Jackson that became additional Yankee runs that actually won that game, rather than Bucky's homer. Red Sox fans must shudder at the memory of him coming out of the bullpen.
I'm just checking the box score on Baseball Reference – Carter was 2-1 on his single, Mitchell was 0-1, and Knight was 0-2. But I will concede that your memory may be more accurate than the box score (that sounds sarcastic but it's not).
Okay, now I'm CERTAIN you're wrong. Just watched a video replay of the bottom of the 10th on MLB.com. Carter definitely hits a 2-1 pitch for his single, Mitchell hits an 0-1 pitch.
Edwin –
The game was tied when the ball got past Buckner. Even if he had fielded the ball the game was going on.
Do you not rate game 6 of the '91 series? That belongs in the top 10 as well. Puckett with TWO iconic plays.
I don't think "best game" should be confused with "best played game", so I have to disagree with you here. I think you're talkin' about best played game as if that makes it the best game. A lot of people seem to be forgetting the difference today. Last night's game had a lil' of everything in baseball all wrapped up into one. It was like a supreme pizza burrito or something. Those games you mentioned… aren't quite that. At this point in time, I'm still trying to decide if 2011's game 6 was the best game ever or just one of best ones. Still, don't confuse "best game" with "best played game". Errors make it so lively.
Actually, there was one error in 1950's Game 7. In the bottom of the 2nd, Bill Virdon singled to right, which scored Don Hoak and Bill Mazeroski. Roger Maris, playing right, mishandled the ball which allowed Virdon to take 2nd. He was stranded there, so Maris' error didn't figure in the scoring. Compliments of Baseball Reference.
Sorry, that's 1960's Game 7, of course.
Read "The Glory of Their Times" to get several perspectives of the 1912 game, including that of Fred Snodgrass. Must have been a heck of a game to see.
And once again, KO's anti-Cardinals bias shines through. But now that one of the greatest series of all time is over, I'll be interested in seeing if he'll finally give credit where it's due, or spin yet another anti-LaRussa screed.
Should be interesting. I'll thank KO for the prediction, rather than give a hearty "In your face!" Graciousness in victory.
I'd be remiss, though, if I didn't give props to the Rangers. Classy team with a classy manager. I hope they win one someday…just not against the Cards!
2006 Game 6 tops 1975 Game 6 for one reason:
The Red Sox didn't win the 1975 World Series.
Remember Pujols' epic 2005 NLCS Game 5 HR that kept the Cards alive for one more game? The Cards were down to their last strike, trailing by two, bases empty, and David Eckstein gets a base hit, followed by Edmonds getting walked, followed by Pujols hitting a shot heard round the world that bounced off the windows in Minute Maid Park. Oh, and this was all done against Brad Lidge, who was by far the most lights out closer in the National League in 2005. That home run by Pujols probably would have gone down as the greatest October HR in a non-WS game in baseball history. If the Cards had won that NLCS. We all know what happened afterwards – the Cards went home, and lost Game 6 in a heartbreaker in the final game ever played in the old Busch Stadium. As such, Pujols HR will always be an exciting memory for Cards fans, but it ultimately didn't give them enough to finish the job. Hence, its significance was greatly diminished from what it might have been had the Cardinals took advantage of the opportunity it provided.
Back to the 1975 Red Sox – epic as their Game 6 was, epic as Pudge Fisk's walk-off HR was, we all know what happened 24 hours later. Red Sox Nation went from being on top of the world to being on suicide watch. What Fisk's monumental HR did was give the Boston Red Sox the opportunity to end a 57 year World Series Championship drought.
The 2011 Cardinals DID.
Lance Berkman said it best after Game 6:
"The reality is that, if we don't win tomorrow, this game becomes just a footnote to a nice season. But if we win tomorrow, this is the stuff of legends."
The Red Sox did not capitalize on the opportunity provided to them by the Game 6 heroics of Carlton Fisk. The St. Louis Cardinals DID capitalize on the opportunity given to them by the Game 6 heroics of David Freese.
That makes all the difference in the world.
THIS. Well said. Thank you.
It was the greatest World Series game I have ever seen. Though it was the ONLY one I've ever seen, I will never forget it! My DISH was out so I went to my expert baseball man's place to watch it. He was able to explain everything I didn't get. Thanks to Baseball Nerd, I was just able to read this blog and understand it! How old were you in 1912? Best!
J.D–Thank you for continuing to point out Keith's total bias when it comes to issues regarding the St. Louis Cardinals. I have been a fan of Keith's for many years but his anti Cardinal rants are wearing thin on me. I understand not liking LaRussa, I don't care for him myself, but his obsession with this hatred has made me question Keith's objectivity and dare I say it, credibility, when it comes to baseball commentary. I realize it is Keith's blog and he can say what he wants, but he has a reputation for being a smart baseball man and his obsession with his LaRussa hate impacts his credibility.
Hate LaRussa if you want Keith, but judge the team and its performance fairly and not through hate filled eyes. There is plenty to admire about the Cardinals despite LaRussa and his politics or whatever other issues you have with him. Give the team and the organization a break.
The Cardinals and Rangers both demonstrated in this game that they are great teams but not good teams. Some of the baseball they played was a reminder, as Bill Madden pointed out in the New York Daily News, of how badly played the game now is. But it was exciting, it was fun, it was riveting, and it was annoying–everything we want in a game. Now if only the announcers had been Vin Scully and Joe Garagiola, as in 1986 … or, for that matter, as one suggestion went for the best possible announcing crew, Vin and Teller.
Couldn't agree with you more, Michael. What the great Mr. Scully could have done with the last few innings of the 6th game…
Hey Keith, wouldn't you agree with me that the 7th game of the 1962 Series should rank up there? 1960 loser Terry, still in there in the 9th, giving up a bunt single to the late Matty Alou, who didn't try to steal second AND didn't score on May's screaming double to right (due to a great play on the ball by Roger Maris!)
Finally the McCovey shot that grabbed to end it.
Keith, you're too good to be remiss….
(Richardson grabbed it at second…)
No one has mentioned Game 7 of the 2001 Series?
2001 recap:
1. Kind of a good pitching match-up: Curt Schilling (arguably the greatest post-season pitcher of all-time, and especially untouchable in this particular post-season) vs. Roger Clemens (20-3 that year, and again…one of the greatest pitchers of all-time).
2. Great plays by major stars: Derek Jeter, Matt Williams, Bernie Williams, etc. Paul O'Neill, playing in his final game, cracked a double and an RBI single (scoring Jeter).
3. Alfonso Soriano's thrilling golf-ball homer off Schilling, a go-ahead shot late in the game (8th inning), that seemed to be the final nail in the coffin. Why? Because:
4. In came Mariano Rivera, the greatest closer in baseball history. In that 8th inning, he did Rivera-type things; struck out 3, and, in particular, made Luis Gonzales, the Diamondbacks best hitter, look absolutely helpless.
5. Randy Johnson comes in to pitch for the D-Backs, despite ZERO days rest; he had thrown 7 strong innings the day before.
6. Mark Grace, one of MANY "Hall of Very Good" players in this game, stuns Rivera with his third hit of the game, starting an almost unbelievable 9th inning rally.
7. Gonzo caps it off with a single juuuuust over Jeter's head (and Jetes was only "playing in" because the bags were loaded, with the Series-winning run on third base).
Did I mention that this was November baseball? Or how about that it was less than 2 months after 9-11? Or that the Yankees were the Goliath of the era, having won 4 of the previous 5 World Series, including the previous 3 straight, and the D-Backs were an expansion team, in only its 4th year of existence?
Kind of a dramatic game.

Do you know where I can get a high res image of the 1907 Yankees? I'm writing a book on stadium seats for collectors. The top seat backs may be identifiable if I can find a continuous-tone photograph of the original image.

AMT 1957 Chevy Bel Air Two-Door Hardtop #AMT-741
VERSIONS: Stock
MOLDED COLORS: White, Clear, Red Clear, Chrome Plated, Photoetched Metal
Note: this kit comes in a "collectible" tin almost identical to that of the '51 Fleetline, the only difference being the car illustrated.
AMT's vintage-1962 kit of the '57 Bel Air had a fairly common-for-'57 single-carb 283 (the more recent Revell '57 Bel Air two-door sedan also replicates this engine). This more recent (1998 Ertl) tooling has a superb replica of the "Power Pack" 270-hp dual-quad 283 with the characteristic "bat wing" air cleaner and three-speed transmission (if you're wondering "why not a four- speed?", here's a historical fact: Chevrolet did not introduce that transmission into production until May of 1957. Most production cars that year came with the three-speed unit). Overall engraving on this mill is excellent, including the subtle cast metal texturing. The batwing-style air cleaner is a four-piece assembly with separate elements. One very welcome detail is that the Chevrolet script on both valve covers is very legible and won't get lost under a couple of coats of paint. Attention to detail includes the motor mounts, molded as part of the front cover assembly, and the left exhaust manifold correctly has a generator mounting bracket. Separate engine accessories include distributor (with coil), fuel pump, water pump, generator, fan belt, four-bladed fan, oil filler tube, starter, breather hose, and both upper and lower water hoses. Also included are lengths of black ignition wiring, and instructions on how to drill the distributor and block, the correct lengths of wire for each plug, and the correct firing order. Nice!
The frame and floorboards are separate from each other, a common practice with today's state-of-the-art kits, but back in 1998 this was one of the kits that trailblazed this new standard. Overall engraving level on the floor- boards is nothing short of excellent. The kit features an opening trunk, and the insides of the trunk area are well done with fine floor mat detail and a spare tire well. Front suspension is a nine-piece affair with separate upper A-arms, one-piece lower A-arm unit, stabilizer bar, tie rod with link gear, and separate spindles. Poseable steering was not designed into the kit, but is possible with just a little bit of extra work. The nine-piece rear suspension has separate springs and shock mounts, and the two-piece rear axle has visible molded-in brake line detail. Separate also are the motor mount locators for the frame, and the two-piece gas tank. The six-piece exhaust system (that's right, six pieces) has texture and ribbing detail on the mufflers, and drilled ends to the pipes. Yes, that's right, you don't have to drill these out! Underhood detailing is superb to say the least, and besides excellent engraved details, features a separate brake master cylinder, twin heater hoses, steering box, two-piece heater blower, twin air ducts, two inner fenders, a washer bottle, a battery, and two separate horns.
Only one wheel option is included–plated renditions of the '57 hubcap with drilled valve stem locations and separate spinners. Unlike the more prototypical 1962-vintage AMT kit, the wheels are one piece and not separate steelies and hub caps, so careful painting of the outer rim in body color is called for. The tires are black vinyl BF Goodrich Silvertowns with molded plastic whitewall inserts. A single steel wheel face and one extra tire is provided for the trunk mounted spare.
The platform-style interior builds up off the floor pan. Separate side panels have excellent three-dimensional detail and extend all the way back to form the trunk walls, joining at a separate trunk filler panel with good structural detail. Both front and rear seats have excellent engraving for the characteristic upholstery patterns, and the front seat backs have engraved trim piping. The rear seat armrest fairings are separate pieces (it's possible that AMT/Ertl had planned on a convertible variant, which this seems to suggest) and the rear seat unit has the package shelf molded in. Moving to the dashboard, this has excellent engraving throughout and features hanging brake/clutch pedals and emergency brake release. The steering wheel has the horn ring molded in place (very thin, too!), and the column has the shifter and turn signal stalk molded in.
There has been controversy for quite some time regarding the shape, length, and width of this kit's body. AMT's original 1962-vintage kit and both recent Revell offerings (snap '57 hardtop and full glue '57 two door sedan) have bodies that are narrower and shorter than the body in this kit–which would suggest to the purist that this Ertl-tooled kit has incorrect proportions. Even taking that as a yardstick of sorts, the body in this kit is nicely tooled and well executed, with very crisp details. The body is one-piece, with the splash pan molded to the body lowers, and a separate hood and trunk. Engraved on the body are the keylocks, side chrome spears, the front fender hash mark trim, front and rear Chevrolet scripts, and the ribbed side coves with Bel Air scripts. Door handles and wipers are separate chrome pieces. Under the roof is a full headliner with molded-in dome light and sun visors. Optional are a pair of factory stock fender skirts. The windshield and rear window fit neatly into the body using positive alignment keys, and the vent window panes are separate thin clear components. The front bumper features separate "Dagmar" tips and the grille is molded separately, and not on the chrome tree–in fact, the grille is molded on a body- color sprue, while the floating grille bar is a separate plated piece with separate tiny clear turn signal lenses. The 1/1 scale grille was anodized gold, something you'll want to keep in mind when building this or any other '57 Bel Air kit. At the rear, the bumper and taillight fairings are molded separately, with small red clear lenses. Headlight bezels feature excellent air intake detail, and the lenses have realistic prismatic engraving. The separate hood has superb underside engraving detail and features separate plated windsplits and front trim bar, and the separate trunk lid has superb underside engraving as well. Superdetailed one-piece hood hinges are an option for those modelers wanting to leave the hood in an open position. The large V emblems for the hood and trunk are on the chrome sprue, but like the grille and front fender hash marks, these should also be anodized gold on a '57 Bel Air, so bear that in mind. DECALS: The all new decal sheet features two custom side scallops in white with black edging, a window sticker decal, valve cover decals, air cleaner markings, underhood data markings, and four sets of 1957 license plates–Florida 10V 8553, California LTH 392, Michigan TU 6632, and Indiana MA 2942. All the plates are a bit undersized, however. The decals are matte printed.
Included in the collectable metal tin the kit is packed in are a small sheet of chrome foil for window and side trim, an 18-page booklet with historical photos and advertising artwork of '57 Bel Air hardtops from GM's historical archives, and a sheet of photoetched metal parts featuring the two ribbed rear side coves, Bel Air scripts, Chevrolet scripts, front fender hash marks, rocker panel trim, keylocks, front and rear V trim, windshield wipers, 1957 CHEVROLET license plate frames, and two small Chevy crests. The instruction sheet has a great deal of helpful features, including how to use the chrome foil and photoetched parts, and a comprehensive chart of all '57 Chevy exterior colors, two-tone combinations, and interior colors.

As of today, I've been here for five years. Enjoy the last part of the trip recap. Keep in mind that this was written by Seth, so when "I" do something, it's actually him talking.
SEPTEMBER 30 - rest stop, Idaho (mileage unknown)
I drove all morning, determined to make it all the way across the panhandle of Idaho before I turn the wheel over to Jon. But nature calls, and high in the mountains I pull over into a rest stop to make use of the facilities.
I say without reservation that western Montana and northern Idaho are some of the most beautiful territory it's ever been my privilege to pass through. But it's also completely isolated. Those snow gates that can be dropped across the interstate ("Road blocked ahead. Go back to Missoula.") are there for a reason, and you'd have to be pretty hardy to live out here. The price of beauty, I suppose. We'll see if I can't afford it.
Coming out of the bathroom I see that a man walking his dog is wearing a baseball cap with Bucky Badger embroidered on it. We talk for a minute and it turns out he's from Madison, out here visiting relatives. Strange to find a piece of home about as far away from it as you can get.
SEPTEMBER 30 -- Couer D'Lane, Idaho (1,705 miles)
A quick stop for lunch in the late afternoon. Jon's cel phone is finally back in range of the system, and he checks his messages while I try to call home and wish my mom a happy birthday on a nearby payphone. Couer D'Lane is the Wisconsin Dells of Idaho, with a population that seems fifty percent tourist and a waterslide on every block. It also increases the number of people we've seen in Idaho by about a bazillion percent, unless you count the other moving trucks. Maybe its just because we're traveling in a U-Haul, but everyone and their brother seems to be moving-usually in the opposite direction, but that's probably because anyone behind us can't catch up to us and we can't catch anyone ahead. As the days have passed I've found a strange feeling of brotherhood with these other travelers; if our horn worked I would beep it when I saw them, but have to settle for a jaunty wave they probably never see. Oh well.
For all the 'friends', we've also found our nemesis. First spotted in South Dakota, a couple times each day we've been passed by what I've named the Luxury RV, a glossy black bus-like RV pulling a high-priced black SUV, like Puff Daddy going on walkabout. Ostentatious, faster than us-the reasons to be annoyed go on and on. But though I've been watching, the LRV's shiny prow has yet to glide past our port windows. I decide to remain vigilant as Jon takes the wheel.
SEPTEMBER 30 - MOFN, Washington (1,786 miles)
I gave this town its name, as it is in the middle of nowhere and didn't even have the dignity to give itself a name for its highway exit. Though we didn't have time to stop in Spokane and see my grandparents (although we did see a giant inflatable gorilla, prompting Jon to properly bemoan the trip's lack of monkeys), we had to stop here for gas-and that's nearly all this place has to offer. That, an RV park (despite the "Don't park RV signs here" signs that seem to be tacked to every post), a collection of construction equipment working and otherwise, and a concrete pipe capped with a metal plate jutting out of the ground. My theory is that it's the entrance to a secret underground government base, but that woman back in Montana probably didn't shoot anyone, either.
SEPTEMBER 30 - Roslyn, Washington (1,932 miles)
We're almost there, but fannish interest (you can take the geeks out of Wisconsin, but...you know the rest) made us get off the interstate and make our way up a county highway to Roslyn, where they filmed the exteriors for the TV series Northern Exposure. All the shops are closed this late on a Sunday evening, so no T-shirts for us. But the KBHR radio station is still there and we get to peek into the now-dusty interior. We also see Roslyn's Café, the building that was supposed to be Dr. Fleischman's office, and the Brick, where we stop to grab dinner.
While waiting for dinner, I wander back across the street and finally get ahold of my mom. While eating dinner, I watch a gorgeous nearby woman, who eventually notices me and subtly flashes her wedding ring. As of this writing, the jury is still out on whether I'm happy or sad to have been caught being potentially prurient.
Then it's back to the road, with only Snoqualimie Pass between us and Seattle.
SEPTEMBER 30 - Bellevue, Washington (2,015 miles)
It's not Seattle, but it's close enough. We make our way through the dark streets and eventually find the house Jon will be staying at. We have some problems finding the key that supposed to be hidden outside, but luckily one of the other roomers is home-and turns out to also be a WizKids employee named Dave. Dave shows us Jon's (surprisingly tiny!) room, and we unload what we can from the truck. It's almost ten, and too late to find a storage space; Jon will have to do that tomorrow after I leave. Dave does help us move the U-Haul and trailer to the WizKids parking lot (including taking the wheel for the particularly tricky job of turning the truck around in the narrow parking lot), and takes us over to the nearby mall and an all-night grocery store so I can get some cash for the trip back.
Then bedtime and up in time to run to the airport in the morning.
There's the whole tale. I hope you've had as much fun reading it as Seth and I did driving it.

Lakeshore Entertainment and Screen Gems are teaming to bring a third installment of the "Underworld" franchise to the bigscreen.
F/x maven Patrick Tatopoulos, who developed the creatures for the first two films in the franchise, will helm "Underworld 3: The Rise of the Lycans," with Michael Sheen, Bill Nighy and Rhona Mitra aboard to star. "Underworld" creator Len Wiseman will produce alongside Lakeshore's Tom Rosenberg, Gary Lucchesi and Skip Williamson.
Prequel story traces the origins of the centuries-old blood feud between the aristocratic vampires known as Death Dealers and their onetime slaves, the Lycans. In the Dark Ages, a young Lycan named Lucian (Sheen) emerges as a powerful leader who rallies the werewolves to rise up against Viktor (Nighy), the cruel vampire king who has enslaved them. Lucian is joined by his secret lover, Sonja (Mitra), in his battle against the Death Dealer army and his struggle for Lycan freedom.
Danny McBride penned the screenplay.
"For the first time we will experience the 'Underworld' universe through the eyes of the Lycans," Wiseman said. "Patrick has always played such an essential part in helping to create 'Underworld' from the start. … So I feel it is both exciting and fitting that (he) now takes the helm."
Sony's Screen Gems will distribute the film in North America, with Sony and Lakeshore distributing worldwide. Shooting will begin in January in Auckland, New Zealand.
In addition to teaming on the first two films in the "Underworld" franchise, Lakeshore and Screen Gems also partnered on "The Exorcism of Emily Rose," "The Mothman Prophecies" and the upcoming Diane Lane starrer "Untraceable."
Film marks Tatopoulos' feature directorial debut. He is a frequent collaborator with Wiseman and Roland Emmerich, with whom he worked on "10,000 B.C.," "Independence Day" and "Godzilla."
Sheen's credits include "The Queen," "Blood Diamond" and the upcoming "Frost/Nixon."
Nighy recently wrapped "Valkyrie." He also appeared in "Notes on a Scandal" and the "Pirates of the Caribbean" films.
Mitra's credits include TV series "The Practice" and "Boston Legal" and the films "The Number 23" and "Shooter."

The price of oil fell slightly but remained above US$102 on Friday, underpinned by U.S. demand for heating oil during a winter that does want to end.
Benchmark West Texas Intermediate crude for April delivery fell 55 cents to close at US$102.20 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. On Thursday, the contract fell nine cents to close at $102.75.
Oil is up two per cent for the week, however, on higher demand for heating oil in the U.S. as forecasters predicted a return of more cold weather in the coming weeks after a brief warm spell.
"Market players are now looking at weather conditions in the U.S.; it's quite cold and heating oil demand is getting tighter so that is supporting the crude oil prices," said Tetsu Emori, commodity markets fund manager at ASTMAZ Futures Co. in Tokyo.
Analysts said the recent rising trend in oil prices, which climbed for the sixth week in a row, could be about to reverse, however, because of tempering global demand and ample supplies.
A report on manufacturing activity in China released Wednesday suggested global economic growth could weaken, which would reduce demand for gasoline, diesel and jet fuel.
Also, supplies appear to be relatively strong in the U.S., despite the higher demand, according to this week's oil report from the U.S. Energy Department.
"Crude stocks in the U.S. were up week-on-week, while the draw in distillate inventories was lower than expected," said a report from JBC Energy in Vienna. "Together with the weak Chinese data from Wednesday, this took a part of the enthusiasm out of the recent rally."
Brent crude, a benchmark used to set prices for international varieties of crude used by many U.S. refineries, was down 45 cents to close at US$109.85 a barrel in London.
In energy futures trading in New York: wholesale gasoline fell 1.8 cents to close at US$3.003 a U.S. gallon (3.79 litres), heating oil fell 4.4 cents to close at US$3.039 a gallon and natural gas rose 7.1 cents to close at $6.135 per 1,000 cubic feet.

WASHINGTON — One of the most highly anticipated U.S. jobs reports in months might also prove to be among the most puzzling.
Today's report on hiring during January follows signs of economic weakness in the United States and overseas that have sent stock prices sinking. Upheaval in developing countries has further spooked investors. All the turmoil has renewed doubts about the Federal Reserve's next steps.
Solid job gains and a healthy decline in the unemployment rate could reverse much of the pessimism. They would suggest that recent reports of tepid job growth and other economic weakness were merely temporary. Dismal hiring, though, would inflame fears that the U.S. economy has begun to falter.
Several factors could muddy the results. Unseasonably cold winter weather could distort January's hiring figures. Revisions to last year's job growth and U.S. population figures might further skew the data.
Finally, a cutoff of extended unemployment benefits in December might have caused an artificial drop in January's unemployment rate. That could give a misleading snapshot of the job market's health.
Economists forecast that employers added 170,000 jobs in January and that the unemployment rate remained at 6.7 percent, according to FactSet. That would mark a significant improvement from December's gain of just 74,000 jobs. December's figure was far below the average gain of 214,000 a month in the previous four months. Bad weather likely weighed on December's job total, economists said.
The unexpectedly weak report for December was soon followed by other poor economic news.
On Monday, an industry survey found that manufacturing grew much more slowly in January than in December. A measure of new orders in the report sank to the lowest level in a year. That report contributed to a dizzying 326-point plunge in the Dow Jones industrial average.
Also Monday, automakers said sales slipped 3 percent in January. And last week, the government said orders to U.S. factories fell in December. So did signed contracts to buy homes, according to the National Association of Realtors.
All the anxiety marks a reversal from a few weeks ago, when most analysts were feeling hopeful about the global economy. U.S. growth came in at a sturdy 3.7 percent annual pace in the second half of last year. The Dow Jones industrial average finished 2013 at a record high. Europe's economy was slowly emerging from a long recession. Japan was finally perking up after two decades of stagnation.
Yet there has also been discouraging news from overseas. A gauge of China's manufacturing fell to a six-month low in January. And a report Wednesday said retail sales in the 18 European countries that use the euro fell in December by the most in 2 1/2 years.
For all that, most economists remain relatively optimistic about U.S. growth. They attribute the recent weakness in the United States in part to unseasonably cold weather, which disrupted trucking and shipping. Few Americans want to test-drive cars or search for a new home in poor weather.
The U.S. economy should still expand at a 3 percent pace this year, according to most estimates. That would likely be fast enough for the Fed to continue winding down its monthly bond purchase program. The Fed is buying $65 billion in bonds this month to try to keep interest rates low and encourage borrowing and spending. It has pared those purchases from $85 billion in December. Fed officials have said they will likely end the purchases by year's end if the economy improves further.
Some positive signs have emerged. Fewer Americans sought unemployment benefits last week, the government said Thursday. Applications fell 20,000 to 331,000, suggesting that companies are laying off fewer workers.
And a survey of service sector companies, including retailers, banks and restaurants, found that they grew faster in January than in December.
The service companies, which represent about 90 percent of all private firms, also stepped up hiring, the survey found.

Mid-Day Prayer
Led by Fr. Michael Thorne Jarrett
Psalm 46
Psalm 65
Psalm 146
|O God, make speed to save us.
|O Lord, make haste to help us.
|Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Psalm 46
God is our refuge and strength, *
an ever-present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth be moved, *
though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea,
Though its waters roar and foam, *
though the mountains tremble at its surging.
There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, *
the holy habitation of the Most High.
God is in the midst of her; she will not be moved; *
God will help her when morning dawns.
The nations rage, the kingdoms fall; *
he lifts his voice, the earth melts.
The LORD of hosts is with us; *
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
Come, behold the works of the LORD, *
what desolations he has brought on the earth.
He makes wars to cease throughout the earth; *
he breaks the bow and shatters the spear,
and burns the chariots with fire.
"Be still, and know that I am God; *
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!"
The LORD of hosts is with us; *
the God of Jacob is our fortress.Composite
Psalm 65
65 Praise is due to you, O God, in Zion,
Psalm 146
Praise the LORD! *
Praise the LORD, O my soul!
I will praise the LORD as long as I live; *
I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.
Put not your trust in princes, *
nor in any son of man, in whom there is no salvation.
When his breath departs, he returns to the earth; *
on that very day his plans shall perish.
Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, *
whose hope is in the LORD his God,
the maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; *
who keeps faith forever;
who executes justice for the oppressed, *
who gives food to the hungry.
The LORD sets the prisoners free; *
the LORD opens the eyes of the blind.
The LORD lifts up those who are bowed down; *
the LORD loves the righteous.
The LORD watches over the foreigner; *
he sustains the widow and the fatherless,
but the way of the wicked he will utterly remove.
The LORD will reign forever, *
your God, O Zion, throughout all generations.Composite
Praise the LORD!
|Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
The LessonsThe Lessons for Saturday
|From the rising of the sun to its setting my Name shall be great among the nations, and in every place incense shall be offered to my Name, and a pure offering; for my Name shall be great among the nations, says the LORD of hosts.
Malachi 1:11
|I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.
Romans 12:1-2
|As obedient children, do not be conformed to the lusts of your former ignorance, but just as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct. For you know that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ. He indeed was foreknown before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake.
1 Peter 1:14-15,18-20
Please pause the service if you would like more time.
|Lord, have mercy

hallowed be thy Name,
thy kingdom come, thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever. Amen.
|Lord, hear our prayer
|And let our cry come to you.
|Heavenly Father, send your Holy Spirit into our hearts, to direct and rule us according to your will, to comfort us in all our afflictions, to defend us from all error, and to lead us into all truth; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
|Let us bless the Lord.
|Thanks be to God.

Reed finding ways to stay loose during inactivity
CHICAGO -- Addison Reed has thrown three times in the last four games, after pitching just three times since July 21. That lack of activity becomes only natural for a closer on a team that lost 10 straight before the series against the Yankees.
But even without game chances for the right-hander, he finds a way to stay ready to pitch.
"I'm sure it will happen more times in my career where we are in a losing streak and I don't get to go out as much as I would like," Reed said. "[White Sox bullpen coach] Bobby [Thigpen], [White Sox pitching coach Don Cooper], they do a good job of keeping me fresh every few days. When they know I'm not going to get in or it doesn't look like it, they tell me to get up and throw off the mound and get some work in.
"I've never once this year or last year gone into a game and not been prepared. Every time I'm going out there, I'm prepared and ready to go. They do a good job with that. It's tough sometimes but it's part of the game and I'm fine with it."
Reed has come closer to mastering the much-needed closer's technique of having a short memory. Whether he pitches a clean inning or blows a save, Reed puts it in the past shortly after the end of the night.
The only one that got to him a bit of late was a blown save in Cleveland on July 31, which could have ended the White Sox losing streak at five.
"Maybe it could have got things going on our end on a positive note," Reed said. "We had the lead and I blew it. But I'm to the point now where if something happens, once the game is over, it's done with, and I'm ready to start preparing for next time I'm out there."

Thank you so much! I'm honored you'd think of me and I do hope you feel better soon. Do you have a cold?
If so, vitamin d-3, vitamin c, and zinc are all excellent choices to help your immune system fight off the virus.
Epsom salt baths are also great as they help your body detox and rid it of those nasty buggers.
Keep very hydrated and gets lots of rest.
Feel better, sweetie!
p.s. Can't wait to see your tattoo.

Thanks for the award!
I'd suggest, believe it or not, rosemary tea. It's good for the immune system. Also tea made with ginger, lemon and honey are good. Ginger is a very good anti-inflammatory.
I like to walk around barefoot too--it's harder now because I ruptured my achilles tendon and had to have surgery on it a year ago and walking is still very awkward without heels, so I hobble a bit.
I can't wait to see your tattoo!

*hugs* thank you :)
I can't wait to see the tat, maybe it'll inspire me to go get mine.

Blessed Be!

GOODYEAR, Ariz. - No bushy bonding in Cincinnati this season. The Reds want players to keep their beards and their locks in check.
First-year manager Bryan Price wants players' hair and beards to be neatly kept this season, in line with the team's policy on appearances. A few of the Reds have long hair and beards. Starter Johnny Cueto's hair still covers his name on the back of his jersey. Price is fine with it.
"Our initial policy was facial hair was fine, but just keep it under control," Price said on Saturday.
The Boston Red Sox made long, scraggly beards their identity last season on their way to a World Series championship. Boston players shaved them off after the season, with several players donating the hair for charity fundraisers.
The Reds were known for their strict hair and appearance policies in the 1970s and 1980s. They insisted that players stay clean-shaven and show their red stirrups in uniform. When reliever Jim Kern wanted a trade during the 1982 season, he grew a beard in violation of the team's policy and was sent to the White Sox.
The policy even applied to the media guide. When the Reds got infielder Wayne Krenchicki, they only photo available showed him with a moustache. The team covered up the moustache in the media guide photo.
Price has no desire to go back to those days.
"I don't think you're going to be terribly successful sitting there trying to turn the clock back on the clubhouse too far," Price said.
He plans to meet with some of the team's leaders when the position players report for their first workout on Monday and get their thoughts about some proposed rules. All teams have policies on what's expected of players.
"I don't think there's anybody in there that's looking to turn this place into 'Fantasy Island' and go crazy in there," Price said. "I think everyone likes to understand what the rules are and where the lines are drawn. But I think it's something worth discussing with the players instead of mandating them unilaterally."

A spectacular walled city by the edge of the sea
Capture it
Discover it
All the information you can't miss about the land
It is located 128 kilometers south of Cancún, on Federal Highway 307 Cancún-Chetumal, in the municipality of Tulum, Quintana Roo
Monday through Sunday from 8:00 to 17:00
57 pesos
Get located
Find it on the map along with other useful resources
The Wind Temple in Tulum is usually empty by mid-afternoon. With the beach under the cliff, the sea straight ahead, and The Castle to its right, travelers forget that there are also other tourists around, and they begin to blend in with the landscape. Travelers feel under the illusion that they are the only person on the site.
The city once had the Mayan name Zamá, which means "dawn". The current name, Tulum, means "wall" or "enclosure", and has only recently been used, when the city was found in ruins. The ancient name refers to its position on the east coast and the west-east alignment of its buildings, which is supported by the remains of buildings dedicated to astronomical observations.
Although inscriptions dating back to the 6th Century have been found, most of the buildings were constructed around the year 1200, when Tulum reached its golden age. During this period, the inhabitants' trading activities extended to distant places, as demonstrated by the finding of Silex objects and ceramic pottery from all over the Yucatán peninsula, obsidian and jade from Guatemala, and rattles and copper rings from the highlands.
Tulum is the best and most well-known example of the eastern coast style, which is the name given to the architectural type of Mayan buildings constructed on the north coast of Quintana Roo between 1200 and 1520 A.D. Located at the highest elevation in the region, and due to its defensive system, this site was an unavoidable settlement for any commercial route and the exploitation of maritime resources on the coast of Quintana Roo.
The archaeological zone of Tulum, probably the most famous in the Riviera Maya, is located within the Tulum National Park, created on April 23rd, 1981. It has a mangrove ecosystem, consisting mostly of red mangrove.
Tulum is one of the few Mayan settlements that was inhabited when the Spaniards arrived in 1518 under the command of Juan de Grijalva, but it was only for a brief period, as there were no residents left by the end of the 16th Century.
The Ceremonial Enclosure is surrounded by a 5 meter thick perimeter wall and five narrow doors that close the three access flanks. Inside, behind the House of Chultún, is the House of the Columns or the Great Palace, located face-to-face with the House of Halach Uinic or Great Lord, its interiors preserve a great variety of carvings and paintings.
Next to it, the Temple of the Frescos, some of which have Mixteca influence, was used as an observatory to follow the sun's movements. The inner walls are decorated with paintings of a great number of mythological serpents. A ceremonial platform provides access to the most famous building in the enclosure, also the biggest and most outstanding construction in Tulum, called The Castle which, aside from its ceremonial functions, was also used as a beacon, allowing Mayan sailors to avoid the dangers of the world's second longest coral reef.
The ships sailed the open sea alongside the coral reef and, when they saw the lights coming from "The Castle", they knew when it was time to take the canal that divided the reef. Inside the tower there are two large windows of the façade which were illuminated with natural light during the day and by torches at the night. The building has a wide outer stairway that first leads to a temple of the late Postclassic period, called Temple of the Initial Series, which is crowned with another temple characterized by three niches over its front and an extraordinary sculpture under its central niche. On the front of the Temple of the Descending God there is a similar carving, representing a falling or knocked down figure, which is usually associated to the setting sun. This figure appears repeatedly along various friezes, sometimes with its legs bent, as if it were about to dive.
Across the beautiful Caribbean beach, standing against the almighty blue coloring of the sea, there a temple is located high on the cliff dedicated to the Wind, which completes the most important buildings in Tulum. Behind it, a road or sacbé leads to the Cenote which supplied drinking water to the city, and to the logically named House of the Cenote.

Obesity Related Type 2 Diabetes is More Severe in Teens than Adults
by Gary Pepper, M.D. and Andrew Levine, Pre-Med, Univ of Central Florida
The recently published TODAY study found obesity related type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is more severe as a teen than as an adult, and high risk of developing diabetes could be tied to weight gain at an early age.
Between 2004 and 2009 the "Treatment Options for Type 2 Diabetes in Youth Study Group" (TODAY) gathered 700 participants who met the American Diabetes Association's criteria for this disease. The participants were monitored for between two to six years. TODAY's goal was to assess treatment options and the clinical progression of obesity related T2DM in youth. The mean age of the 700 participants in the TODAY study was thirteen, the majority being female. Sixty percent of the 700 participants were African American or Hispanic, with the remainder being Caucasian. The mean duration of diabetes for the study's' participants was less than seven months. A major worrisome finding from the study is a majority of participants were also discovered to have dyslipidemia, an abnormally high amount of fats (cholesterol, triglycerides) in the blood, as well as high blood pressure (hypertension).

Below is a preview of lens correction technology that will be included in Lightroom 3 and the Camera Raw 6 plug-in that's part of Photoshop CS5. This is an exciting development for our non-destructive editing technology and is designed to address lens correction via two methods: Lens Profiles and Manual Correction. The easiest application of lens correction is to apply the lens profile technology that encompasses geometric distortion(barrel and pincushion distortion), chromatic aberration and lens vignetting characteristics. A handful of lens profiles will be provided by default and a Lens Profile Creator Utility will be posted on Adobe Labs allowing photographers to create their own lens profiles using a simple procedure discussed in the video below. There are also manual distortion corrections that extend beyond traditional geometric distortion and provide horizontal and vertical transform adjustments.(As well as rotation, scale and crop to visible image data tools.) Please take a look at the preview video and provide your feedback!

May-16-08 DCA RELEASES PROPOSED FY 2009 MUNICIPAL STATE AID FIGURES
TRENTON, N.J. – On Tuesday, May 13, Governor Corzine made a proposal to the State Legislature to revise the Consolidated Municipal Property Tax Relief Aid (CMPTRA) Program reductions originally proposed in the State's FY 2009 budget (and affecting CY 2008 and SFY 2009 municipal budgets).
Today, the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs released the proposed municipal state aid figures. The revised numbers are available on the Department's website at www.state.nj.us/dca/lgs/muniaid/08_aid/08-09_cmptrarest.shtml. The posting is advisory in nature, as the final allocation rests with the State Legislature and final passage of the State's Fiscal 2009 budget.
The proposal would ensure that no community faces an increase in the average residential property tax bill of more than $100, as a result of the CMPTRA reduction that was proposed for small communities with populations of fewer than 10,000.
For municipalities with a population of under 10,000, 25 percent of what the CMPTRA cut would have been is restored (excluding transfers to Energy Tax Receipts). When the impact of the remaining aid reduction results in an increase of more than $100 on an average residential property, additional CMPTRA aid will be provided to limit the increase to $100.
"Governor Corzine has presented a budget that will get New Jersey's finances back on the right track," said Commissioner Doria. "The proposed restructuring of aid to towns encourages communities across the state to examine the benefits of municipal consolidation and shared services, but also recognizes the importance of state aid for our state's smallest communities."

ESPN layoffs spur political backlash
Reports that media giant ESPN is laying off several hundred people, including at least 100 in Connecticut, is drawing fire from prominent Connecticut political leaders, in part because the Bristol-based company has accepted incentives from the state.
ESPN was included in Gov. Dannel Malloy's First Five Economic incentive program.
Pat O'Neil, a spokesman for Connecticut House Republican Leader Larry Cafero, called the ESPN news "problematic on many levels."
"We all want to do what is reasonable to promote job creation, but questions were raised from the outset on this deal," O'Neil said. "We have rightly raised questions about giving millions of dollars to a company whose corporate parent (The Walt Disney Co.) just reported a 32 percent earnings increase. The so-called 'World Wide Leader of Sports' lines in Bristol, they are the home team, which makes us ask what's going on here."
U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., said ESPN needs to live up to the commitments it has made to the state as part of the First Five program.
"I hope and expect that they will keep that promise," Blumenthal said in a prepared statement. "Layoffs should always be a last resort, and I hope that ESPN can find other opportunities within the company for these individuals."
Mike Soltys, an ESPN spokesman, confirmed the layoffs, first reported by the online site Deadspin, but declined to say how many there were overall, as well as in Connecticut.
"We are implementing changes across the company to enhance our continued growth while smartly managing costs," Soltys said. "While difficult, we are confident that it will make us more competitive, innovative and productive."
ESPN became part of the program in August 2011, agreeing to create at least 200 jobs over a five-year period. In return for creating the jobs, the company got a 10-year, $17.5 million loan from the Department of Economic and Community Development for the construction of a new media production facility that will open next spring.
The state is also providing ESPN up to $1.2 million to fund a job-training program. The job-training money will be provided for reaching certain benchmarks, with $300,000 for 200 jobs created to $150,000 for each additional 100 jobs created up to 800 jobs.
ESPN, which currently employs just more than 4,000 people in Connecticut, has two years to create 200 jobs, said Jim Watson, a spokesman for the state' DECD. But beyond that, there are no intermediate milestones that ESPN must achieve for the company to comply with the terms of its agreement with the state.
Andrew Doba, a spokesman with Malloy's office, defended ESPN's inclusion in the program, saying the company "has been and will continue to be a key employer and economic driver for Connecticut."
"They remain well on their way to meeting their hiring goals as part of the First Five program," Doba said in a prepared statement. "Keep in mind that the new building on their campus that was a part of the First Five deal has not even opened yet. The state does have claw-back measures in place if a company fails to meet its target, but we have no reason to believe that they will be needed in this case."
The so-called "claw-back" measures would be triggered if the company fails to meet its job creation requirements or relocates out of state within 10 years, Doba said. But neither Doba nor Watson would say what specific penalties would be invoked against the company if it violated either of those provisions.
Part of the frustration over the ESPN layoffs is that they come at a time when the company is spending millions to acquire exclusive rights to broadcast the U.S. Tennis Open for 11 years, staring in 2015, and launch a 24-hour network devoted to Southeastern Conference sports in August 2014.
Rich Hanley, associate professor of journalism at Quinnipiac University and director of the school's graduate journalism program, said the cuts are part of an effort "to balance costs by taking the money they pay people and focusing it on broadcast rights."
"They have been in this cost-cutting mode for a couple of months as they try to meet their quarterly earnings targets for Disney," Hanley said. "But at the same time I don't see them carving themselves up more than this (in terms of cuts)."
"Although they are a $40 billion company, they still have to manage themselves like they're on the edge," he said.
Soltys said ESPN is undertaking a number of major expansion projects in addition to the new production facility for which it got the state loan.
It is putting the finishing touches on a new power generation facility to keep ESPN operating in the event of a power outage, he said. That facility, which is expected to be completed shortly, would replace one of two aging generation facilities on the ESPN corporate campus.
The company is also building a welcome center near the Southington town line that will allow vendors and athletes who are interview subjects to be checked in to the corporate complex more smoothly and without delaying the entrance and departure of employees. That project is expected to be finished by December, Soltys said.

LAS VEGAS -- Jonas Blixt shot his second straight 7-under 64 on Friday for a share of the second-round lead with Brendon de Jonge in the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open.
De Jonge followed his opening 62 with a 66 to match Blixt at 14-under 128 after two rounds in perfect conditions in the Fall Series opener.
"I think it's a lot of things that makes me play well this week," said Blixt, from Sweden. "I got my family in town, my brother and my sister, a couple friends from overseas, which makes it really relaxed. We're renting a house together and just having a good time. I don't think about golf at all coming off the golf course. Just hang out with them. It's easy to think about something else when you're in Las Vegas, right?"
Blixt is winless on the PGA Tour.
"I've been working a lot on my ball striking the last few weeks when I've been off," Blixt said. "It's not really there yet, but I got a hot putter and it's been helping me out a lot the last two days."
Blixt birdied Nos. 15 and 16, made a double bogey on the par-3 17th, and finished with a birdie on 18. He also had an eagle on the par-4 seventh hole.
"First of all, I don't know why they always put water on 17, on the par 3s," Blixt said. "Every single week we play on par 3s. ... It's a great hole, but if I miss it's left, so that's why I don't really appreciate it. But I just got a little fast and that's why I missed. Tried to hit a little soft 6-iron in there."
De Jonge, from Zimbabwe, also is seeking his first PGA Tour victory.
"We got a long way to go, obviously," de Jonge said. "I've played nicely for the first rounds, but to start thinking about winning right now would be jumping ahead a little bit.
"I've driven the ball well for the first two rounds. With as receptive as the greens are here, you're going to have a lot of chances when (you drive well). That's been the key. I've been able to set myself up to score well from the fairways."
Ryan Moore, the Las Vegas resident and former UNLV player who matched the TPC Summerlin record Thursday with a 61, was a stroke back after a 68.
"It was a good, solid round," Moore said. "I definitely would have liked to have seen a few more of those putts drop. But I hit good putts all day. They were just burning the edges, lipping out. All in all, I like my position going into the weekend."
Daniel Summerhays and Tim Herron were 11 under. Summerhays had a 63, and Herron shot 68.
John Daly was 10 under after a 63, his lowest score of the year. At 132nd on the money list, the two-time major champion is trying to move into the top 125 to secure full playing privileges for next season.
Daly had eight birdies, an eagle and two bogeys to match Summerhays for the best round of the day.
"Today, I hit the ball really well and I putted good the last two days, which is good for me," Daly said. "The greens are rolling really good, so it gives you an opportunity. If you hit it think decent, you can make some putts. ... But on any tour, any more, it's just putting. If you make some putts you can play really well. This course gives you a lot more opportunities than most courses."
Vijay Singh, Nick Watney, Chris Kirk and John Huh also were 10 under. Singh and Watney shot 66, Kirk had a 68, and Huh a 69.
Watney also lives in the area.
"It's fun. It's nice to play well at home," Watney said. "I got a lot of friends and family out, so I'm looking forward to trying to put together a nice weekend."
Singh had five birdies, an eagle and a double bogey on his final hole, the 444-yard, par-4 18th.
"I putted better today," Singh said. "I made some putts and had some good up and downs, and I made a bomb on No. 13 for eagle, so it kind of helps."
Defending champion Kevin Na was 8 under after a 66.
"I feel like I left a few out there, but on this course it's easy to do," he said.
Casey Martin missed the cut with rounds of 71 and 74. The Oregon coach, playing on a sponsor exemption, is allowed to use a cart in competition because of a rare circulatory disorder in his right leg.

Each pin is custom-made, hence there may be slight differences between the actual rolling pin and the photo.
The roller is perfect to use with clay, you can use it to give texture to your pottery.
