- More from Where to Smoke
Cesar's Cigar Lounge and Wine Bar, California
Smoking cigars during the World Baseball Classic in San Diego.
Alejandro Benes
Posted: March 20, 2006
Cesar Espinal was optimistic before the big World Baseball Classic semifinal between his beloved Dominican Republic team of major league professional stars and the "amateur" Cuban national team.
"I'm not worried about my team performing," Cesar explained on Saturday morning before the noon start. "I'm just tired of hearing the Cubans trash-talking."
Cesar came to San Diego 10 years ago from the Bronx and stayed. "I liked it here," he said. His family, he related, has grown tobacco in the Dominican Republic for three generations. Cesar created his own cigar label with some of that tobacco. Cesar sells those cigars and many other well-known brands at his shop-cum-bar, Cesar's Cigar Lounge and Wine Bar, in the Gaslamp Quarter of San Diego, five short blocks from Petco Park, the home of the Padres, where the World Baseball Classic semis and final are being played.
Dominicans, some of whom live in Southern California and others who traveled here, mostly from New York, gathered at the bar. They waved flags and donned the team jersey. Cesar, if needed, would have had to change only his jeans to have been properly dressed to pitch to one batter.
Unfortunately for Cesar, whatever talking the Cubans were doing, they backed on the field, winning a sloppily played 3-1 decision to move into the final against Japan, which defeated Korea, 6-0, on Saturday night in a game that was a clinic in how baseball should be played. Of course, after Korean relief pitcher Byung-Hyun Kim gave up a two-run pinch-hit dinger, we wondered if the Korean manager had actually seen the 2001 World Series. Then the Arizona Diamondbacks closer, Kim gave up the game-tying homer to the New York Yankees' Tino Martinez, then the game-winning tater to Derek Jeter. In Game 5, Kim allowed Scott Brosius to tie the game by going long. This time, unlike the D-Backs, who ended up winning in Game 7, Kim's team got blanked by an unmerciful Japanese team that had lost twice to the Koreans in earlier rounds.
After the Cuba victory, Cesar was back at his bar with his compatriots. They were drowning their sorrows in beer and wine. There are some 50 beers and even more wines on offer here, in addition to more than 20 Ports. This, friends, is a cigar bar in California, a state that has among the most restrictive antismoking laws in the country. Cesar explained that he got his license to allow smoking only six months and much red tape ago.
"It took me three years to get it," he said. "I can't even explain the kind of license we have. It's different from the others." The result is, for all intents and purposes, a cigar bar in downtown San Diego.
That has made this long weekend that much more enjoyable. Friends and I traveled from different parts of the country to take in a unique event bolstered by the decision to eliminate baseball from the Olympic Games and borne of the imagination of Major League Baseball commissioner Bud Selig. The World Baseball Classic, or WBC as everyone is calling it, has captured the imagination of baseball fans around the world. Part of the fascination is that a U.S. team of all-stars didn't make it out of the second round, due in part to a confusing tie-breaking system that put Japan ahead of them despite having the same record. Part of the frustration is that the games took place during the Major League spring training, while the Cubans interrupted their regular season to participate. Don't even ask about pitch-count limits designed to save the arms of major leaguers before the season starts. And then there's George Steinbrenner, who didn't want his Yankees stars risking injury and time away from camp to play in the classic. Some of the Dominican fans argued that their stars were not ready yet. The Dominican manager had an answer for that grievance.
"I think everybody in baseball knew, even before the All-Star break last year, that we were going to play this baseball classic," Manny Acta told the media after his team was eliminated. Acta is also a coach for the New York Mets.
"Everybody that had the desire to play prepared themselves to play for this tournament," added Acta. Yes, they didn't have 100 at-bats or whatever before this, but we got all the way to the 'seventh game.' We played two rounds, the guys saw enough pitches, they had enough at-bats, and there's no excuses." As we say in Spanish: "Punto y final." (Period!)

text: Researchers Pin Down Rice Genome Map-based rice genome will act as a powerful tool for future breeding in other crops. Compiled by staff Published on: Aug 12, 2005 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print The 10-nation International Rice Genome Sequencing Project now has a highly accurate, or "finished," map-based DNA sequence of the entire rice genome, according to Nature. This will be a powerful tool for future crop breeding since other grass crops can benefit from the rice genome information - including corn, wheat, barley, rye, sorghum and millet. The completed rice genome, which reveals some 37,500 genes on the 12 chromosomes of rice, offers the raw material for many studies aiming to boost crop yields for this key food source. Researchers say the study revealed "thousands" of genetic markers, or signposts that can be put to use by plant breeders right away. This is the first completed genome sequence researchers have for any crop plant. The sequence built upon earlier draft sequences published by Monsanto and Syngenta. Both companies donated their work on the genome to the international project. Corn producers push for corn genome completion On the heels of the breakthrough news of the completion of the genetic map of the rice plant, the National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) is advocating harder than ever for funding to finish the mapping of the corn genome. "This is an exciting day for all of agriculture," said June Silverberg, NCGA director of public policy. "With the rice plant mapping complete, we can now look toward finalizing the sequence of the corn genome and continue the pursuit for research in maize traits. NCGA has long supported and been heavily involved in research and development for new uses of agricultural crops like corn. It continues to be a key priority for NCGA." NCGA spearheaded the creation the National Plant Genome Initiative, which is managed by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and supported by the Interagency Working Group on Plant Genomes. The ultimate goal of the initiative is to enhance the understanding of the structure and function of all plant genes at all levels, which will directly impact the production of major food crops. According to NCGA, the corn genome will have significant benefits that will be felt throughout the world. The potential benefits include: agronomic value (physical resistance, stress tolerance and yield) and improved outputs (chemical/industrial, feed, human food and pharmaceutical). These advances should also have the larger effects of: increasing production efficiency by 20% over the next 10 years; adding at least $4 billion in increased farm value per year; move the nation toward a self-reliant bio-based economy, decreasing the need for foreign oil; and increased sustainability of agriculture. Earlier this summer the House passed the appropriations bill with funding requests for NSF programs, including the corn genome. The Senate Appropriations Committee passed their bill, which also included funding for the corn genome, but the bill has not been voted on in the full Senate. NCGA is continuing its directive to secure more funding for the plant genome projects and has encouraged corn growers to talk to their senators, urging support for the project funding and asking legislators to bring the appropriations bill to the floor for a final vote.

Church becomes hotspot for political forumHawley, MN (WDAY TV) - Like it or not, religion plays a big role in politics. Churches in our area are taking advantage of this influence, to shine light on an overlooked issue.
Hawley, MN (WDAY TV) - Like it or not, religion plays a big role in politics. Churches in our area are taking advantage of this influence, to shine light on an overlooked issue.
They're hosting a candidate forum tonight, and the discussion won't be about your usual election hot buttons.
There's a group of Minnesota churches fighting for social justice. Part of that includes giving a voice to those who, sometimes, can't speak for themselves, like children.
Rev. Mark Pettis, First Congressional United Church of Christ: " Get a sense of where they are in terms of supporting funds to help families, programs designed to help children."
Revered Mark Pettis says hot election topics like abortion and gay marriage are not on the agenda. The focus is on families.
Pettis: "Talking about livable wage, tax credits for children."
Pettis says the candidate forum at Hawley United Methodist Church is purely informational. It's for state senate and representative candidates from the area surrounding Moorhead.
No one will push any specific view.
Pettis: "Not playing favorites in this sense. Coming together and saying let's learn."
It might sound surprising, hosting a debate in a church.
But Dr. Barbara Headrick, an MSUM political science professor, says it's more common than you think.
Dr. Barbara Headrick, MSUM Political Science Professor: "These are the forums where voters can ask questions and get answers."
And Headrick says it's perfectly acceptable for churches to ask faith-based questions, just as long as they don't push for congregations to choose specific candidates.
Headrick: "Are they asking questions in a religious tone, or are they asking about the issues."
The forum is tonight at the United Methodist Church in Hawley, from 7-9.
The moderator has questions ready, but if you want, be prepared to bring your own.

The Shotbow Network
by lazertester at 8:58 PM
This weekend has been interesting... Yesterday around 2pm Staminus reported that they lost both fiber lines to their Irvine data center, where our US servers are hosted. Due to this issue all of our US servers and website have been unreachable since then.
It took around 30 hours for them to sort out the issue with the fiber provider.
The SMASH update has been delayed a bit due to these setbacks, but is still playable on SMASH_01_US if you want to check out the new features in advance.
Thank you for flying Shotbow!

With the stylized look of a woodland glade as the Shakespeare Garden's main motif, it appears as if it were a vignette from an old English country scene. Visitors see Shakespeare's plants set forth in a boggy dell, while neighboring trees suggest an encroaching forest. This pastoral illusion is strengthened by gently rolling berms, a few carefully placed trees, and distant masses of perennial color, elements which lend textural detail and expand the perceived size of the garden--thus more fully engaging the imagination of the visitor. However, the ultimate intention of this garden is the creation of a stage for the understanding of Shakespeare's art and its relationship to plants.
Located between the Huntington Art Gallery and the Virginia Steele Scott Gallery, the Shakespeare Garden includes many plants and flowers mentioned in Shakespeare's plays including poppies, pansies, violets, pinks, carnations, rosemary, daffodils, irises, roses, columbines, and marigolds, in tribute to the Library collection of early editions of Shakespeare. A small plaque next to each of the plants quotes the relevant line or verse: "It was the nightingale, and not the lark, That pierc'd the fearful hollow of thine ear; Nightly she sings on yond pomegranate-tree..." (Romeo and Juliet, Act III, Scene V); "There's rosemary, that's for remembrance...." (Hamlet, Act IV Scene V), etc. Some of the less obvious Shakespearean plants in the garden include wild thyme, garlic, woodbine, grape, crab-apple, myrtle, sweet violet, lemon balm, fern, and holly.
Landscape Architect, Ralph Cornell designed the original garden in a formal style in 1959. Early on it was discovered that many of the plants selected only bloomed in the cool part of the Southern California year so it was decided to expand the collection allowing some non-Shakespearian plants into the garden, and complementing the Library's fine collection of early Herbals. In 1982 the garden underwent a major redesign by Landscape Architect Ann Christoph to accommodate the new Scott Gallery.
Did you know?
The flagpole in the Shakespeare Garden was made
from the trunk of a Douglas fir from the Pacific Northwest. Brought by
ship to Redondo Beach, it was then loaded onto two horse-drawn wagons
and hauled through the city streets of Los Angeles to its present
location. The flagpole is 148 feet long, with 132 feet above ground and
16 feet in concrete below the ground.
The Shakespeare Garden Collections
Pomegranate, Punica granatum 'Wonderful', is mentioned in Romeo and Juliet.
Citrus aurantium, the 'Chinotto' orange, is mentioned in Much Ado About Nothing.
English Oak, Quercus robur, figures prominently in many of Shakespeare's plays and is the oak of Sherwood Forest in the Robin Hood story.
The 'Apothecary Rose', the red rose of Lancaster and the white Rose of York , 'Alba semi-plena', are from a scene in Henry VI.
Ophelia in Hamlet mentions Rosemary, Rosmarinus officinalis, for 'remembrance'.
Primroses and cowslips are common wildflowers of the English countryside and are mentioned in Mid Summer Night's Dream.
The bust of William Shakespeare commemorates this remarkable man, who wrote 37 plays and 154 sonnets, two narrative poems, and some shorter verses.
Copper Beech, Fagus sylvatica 'Atropunicea' is an uncommon deciduous tree in Southern California gardens with highly ornamental red to purple foliage.
Planted throughout the garden is a collection of repeat blooming bearded iris.

3gpm is about half of what a typical tub/shower valve can supply, given 'normal' pressure and 1/2" pipes. It would take a LONG time ot fill a tub at that rate! Is this the only bathroom with that problem (i.e., do you get good flow and pressure at other places in the house)? Some valves have screen filters on the inlets, and those may be clogged. Since taking the cart out doesn't improve things much, it is likely the supply, and not the valve.
Is it the same on both hot and cold, or is the cold volume much better? When they replaced the WH, they had to turn the water supply off. It's possible that valve is not fully opened. If it was a gate valve, it may be broken, and the flow you are getting is that which can 'slip' by. If it is a broken gate valve, the handle will (usually) just keep turning, and never stop at the one or off position.

This year the Workshops celebrated its 40th anniversary with a theme of looking ahead and embracing new media and technology. For two and a half days, promoters networked with each other, listened to speakers and got a chance to visit with vendors that service the industry.
The first day began on a somber note as the Workshops paid tribute to a pair of icons in the racing world that were lost this year.
First was Chris Economaki, who has been called the Dean of American Motorsport Journalists. The other was Bob Newton, who started the Hoosier Racing Tire Company.
Delivering the eulogy was Dr. Roger Marsh, executive director of the National Fellowship of Raceway Ministries. He explained that both had a passion for what they did and both had long time friends they met in the sport.
This year, Racing Promotion Monthly editor Stewart Doty had a program focused on how the industry can move forward as current economic situations begin to ease. One topic that kept reccurring was the need to attract younger fans to the sport.
The keynote speaker was Chris Blair, recently retired Vice President in charge of Operations at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. He compared how things were and how things have changed in the world of motorsports and how promoters have to think outside of the box.
"The old days are really over for good," he said.
Blair noted how the major league sports are creating an experience for their fans rather than just offering a game to watch. And he added there is a need to find new racing fans and capitalize on technology as well as the new types of media.
Doty, publisher of the trade newsletter Race Promoter's Monthly, focused on the theme that the industry has to move forward if it is to attract a new generation of fans. And that means making use of all that's new in media was well as social media.
One traditional part of the Workshops is what's called "The Fast 15." Many sessions begin with speakers giving 15 suggestions to promoters that they can use for their operations.
This time Doty used the Fast 15 to offer ideas as to how promoters can reach out and engage this new generation of potential fans.
In addition, three sessions focused on the legal aspects of operating a short track.
In one session, track owner and attorney Ron Bennett described how best to structure a business to avoid needless liability. Friday began with two legal sessions first with racing attorney Cary Agajanian then switching to a pro bono meeting where attorneys noted cases affecting racing as well as fielding questions from promoters.
In one session the mother/son team of Jody and Tom Deery related how her late husband Hugh along with NASCAR great Ned Jarrett and K&K Insurance helped the late Stu Reemer start the workshops 40 decades ago.
Tom Deery, who heads the World of Outlaws Sprint Car and Late Model series also illustrated that some of the challenges the industry faces today are the same ones they faced years ago.
He feels the future is bright for the industry as promoters have faced many challenges in the past, are a bunch of resourceful people and have prevailed.
Commenting on those in the business Mrs. Deery said, "We all have a disease and I hope we don't find the cure."
Along with the meetings, there is a small trade show for vendors that cater to the short track industry. Everything from tires, scoring and ticket systems as well as fuel, trophies and souvenirs for the fans are part of that show.
On Saturday, Doty once recapped the subjects covered, gave another "Fast 15" presentation and then later spoke on, "Out Smarting the Smart Phone."
He explained how major league sports are setting rules for their players and others are using licensing procedures to help protect their intellectual property and reputations.
He also gave some advice on various ways tracks can use social media to help deliver an experience and not just a race to their fans.
Another speaker was this year's Promoter of the Year Robert "Bob" Sargent, who runs Track Enterprises and promotes many events in the central states.
He feels the workshops are important and said, ""We just have to concentrate on more things geared to a younger crowd and get them interested in our sport. I'm very optimistic about the future, we have a unique sport and entertainment combined and I think that's a good thing for us."
Asked his thoughts on the future use of the new media Doty said, "I think it's a complex issue and everybody in every business environment in the country is feeling their way through the fog. The biggest marketers are trying to figure out how to harness the Internet, use Face Book and use other social media to sell products and services and we're doing the same thing. Because we're small business we might be behind some corporations but we're pretty crafty people and I think we'll get on top of it and use it to our advantage very well."
Despite losing some tracks this year Doty feels the industry is healthy but still faces some challenges in the coming year.
"There's a recession on and it's hurting everybody in every walk of life but the promoters are telling me most of them think they've found the bottom last year," he said. "I think the fans have deprived themselves enough to save a nickel and keep the family budget that they're to say, 'you know dog gone it, I'm going to go to a race.' I have no reason to be un-optimistic unless it rains everywhere in the United States."
Now the promoters are back at their homes and some are already planning to attend the next Workshop slated for Daytona Beach during NASCAR Speedweeks in February. And they'll be back in Reno December 5-7 of next year.
•Despite Sunday's weather a bunch of hardcore racers competed in the final event for SMRA's Nevada Championship. Unlike most visits to the Fernley Lion's Motocross Track is wasn't so much a sandbox but rather a muddy sandbox.
Most riders raced as hard as they could and those competing in the final few motos were blessed by sunshine as the sky cleared.
One of the closest races was in the second 125/250 junior moto as winner David Catalina prevailed after being chased the entire race by Caleb Frandsen.
After the win Catalina said, "He was very close the whole time and the it's really brutal out there. Your grips get wet and you can barely hang on."
Considering the conditions most riders managed to keep their bikes under them with a few exceptions. Only one crash had the medics responding but that rider was all right.
With the low rider count the racing ended early but everyone had a good time winding up their season.

Product Information
The Redding Competition Bushing Neck Sizer Die is similar in concept to the Competition Seating Die, the cartridge case is completely supported and aligned with the sizing bushing before the sizing process begins. As the sizing process starts, the cartridge case remains supported in the tightly chambered, sliding sleeve as it moves upward. The resizing bushing self-centers on the case neck. The decapping rod is maintained in precise alignment by using the internal parts of the die as a linear support much like that of a firing pin. Meanwhile, the micrometer adjustment of the bushing position delivers precise control to the desired amount of neck length to be sized. Bushings and shellholders sold separately. Made in the USA.

Candice Michelle
(Wrestler -
WWE Womens Champion
*Appearing Courtesy of The I.P.A. Network
*Appearing SAT & SUN Only!
At the age of 19, Candice Michelle moved to Los Angeles, CA and became a fitness model. A few years later, she started to appear in many movies and TV shows. Her movie roles include parts in Tomcats, Dodgeball, and Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. Her television appearances include 7th Heaven, Party of Five, Hang Time, The Man Show, and Monk. In 2004, Candice Michelle competed in the first annual WWE Diva Search. Despite not winning the contest, she secured a role with the company.
Outside of wrestling, she is known as the Go Daddy Girl, performing in the companys annual Super Bowl commercials. She also posed for a cover and nude pictorial in the April 2006 issue of Playboy. At Vengeance in 2007, she defeated Melina to win her first WWE Womens Championship and became the first former Diva Search contestant to win the coveted WWE title.
Beth Phoenix then became the number one contender for the Womens Title after winning a Diva battle royal at SummerSlam. At the Unforgiven pay-per-view, however, Candice successfully retained her title in their match by countering one of Phoenixs moves with a crucifix pin. At No Mercy on October 7, Candice dropped the title to Phoenix, ending her reign as Womens Champion. On October 22, Candice cracked her clavicle during her rematch for the Womens Title against Phoenix in a two out of three falls match; Phoenix pushed herself into the ropes, causing Candice to fall off of the turnbuckle onto her head, neck and shoulders and putting her out of action for 14 weeks.

Early Years
Scott Adams was born 6/8/57 and raised in Windham, New York, in the Catskill mountains. Adams graduated high school as valedictorian because the other 39 people in his class couldn't spell "valedictorian."
Adams moved to Northern California in 1979 after college and has lived in the San Francisco Bay Area since.
Day Jobs
Scott Adams worked at Crocker National Bank, San Francisco, 1979 to 1986, in a number of humiliating and low paying jobs: teller (robbed twice at gunpoint), computer programmer, financial analyst, product manager, and commercial lender.
Adams moved from the bank to Pacific Bell, San Ramon, California, and worked there from 1986 through June 1995. Adams worked in a number of jobs that defy description but all involve technology and finances. The most recent job was in a laboratory, finding ways to use digital phone lines and also running the company's BBS. His business card said "engineer" but he is not an engineer by training.
From 1989 until 1995 Adams worked his day job while doing the Dilbert comic strip mornings, evenings and weekends.
How I Became a Syndicated Cartoonist
Dilbert is a composite of Adams' co-workers over the years. Dilbert emerged as the main character of his doodles. Adams started using him for business presentations and got great responses. A co-worker suggested he name the character Dilbert. Dogbert was created so Dilbert would have someone to talk to.
On the advice of a kind cartoonist Adams bought a book called "1988 Artist Markets" and followed the instructions on how to get syndicated. Adams drew fifty sample strips and mailed copies to the major cartoon syndicates. United Media called a few weeks later and offered a contract. Adams accepted.
Dilbert was launched in 1989 after several months of further developing the strip. That was Adams' first cartooning for profit.

Cassin Talks Up a Storm During May 8 Lunchtime Talk at the Clark
For Immediate Release
April 22, 2008
J. W. M. Turner's obsession with nature and with the sea in particular is at the core of many of his most powerful paintings including Rockets and Blue Lights. This painting will be the subject of the Looking at Lunchtime Talk at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute on Thursday, May 8. Michael Cassin, director of the Center for Education in the Visual Arts, will lead the free talk at 12:30 pm.
In Rockets and Blue Lights human beings standing on the shore are dwarfed by the waves and the swirling clouds. They fire blue flares into the sky in an attempt to prevent sailors caught by the storm from running aground in the shallow waters. Join Cassin for a half-hour look at Turner's coastal storm (without getting your feet wet.)
The series continues on Thursday, June 12, with Kathleen Morris, director of exhibitions and collections and curator of decorative arts, discussing selections from the Clark's collection of American glass. The talks take place at 12:30 pm on the second Thursday of every month. Attendees may purchase food from the courtyard café or bring a bag lunch to enjoy before or after the gallery talk. Talks are free with paid gallery admission.
The Clark is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown, MA. The galleries are open Tuesday through Sunday, 10 am to 5 pm (open daily in July and August). Admission is free November through May. Admission June 1 through October 31 is $12.50 for adults, free for children 18 and under, members, and students with valid ID. For more information, call 413-458-2303 or visit www.clarkart.edu.

Obesity is a worldwide health problem causally associated with several other conditions, most notably type 2 diabetes mellitus, heart disease, and stroke. Researchers are working to identify genetic susceptibility to developing obesity and diabetes, mechanisms mediating the expression of the susceptibility genes, mechanisms causing resistance to insulin, factors causing progressive loss of insulin-producing cells, and the nature, prevention and management of the serious complications of diabetes including kidney insufficiency, visual loss, and coronary artery disease.
The mission of the Center for Diabetes and Metabolism Research is to advance the understanding of the mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of obesity and its complications and co-morbidities through:
identifying key genes and how, interacting with the environment, they cause these health problems
identifying potential targets for preventive or therapeutic interventions
translating basic research in preventive and therapeutic interventions through clinical trials to improve the health of the people in our communities.
