Comic-Con Trailers: The Best of the Best, Ranked
Film, TV
Weird. I thought I had more links this week. Oh well – they're still fun!
Just for fun here's the four-page, connected action scene from Steranko's Nick Fury. Dang, that's an amazing comic.
This is an interesting post about the Silver Age and its creators with a lot of links to other places, including the Howard Chaykin quote that started it all. It's not that interesting that several Silver Age creators didn't like each other, but stories about the comics industry of the past are always fascinating, even if they make Mark Evanier sad.
Brian Hibbs writes about how much he hates mini-series. As a retailer, that is. He concentrates on Big Two mini-series, but I wonder if it's any different for other companies? I mean, some things just don't need an ongoing series, and Hibbs makes the point that graphic novels do even worse than mini-series, so that's not a solution. Man, comics retailing has to suck sometimes.
Don't make fun of renowned novelist Dan Brown! I actually talked about Dan Brown with two different people this week, which is two more times in a week that I usually talk about Dan Brown. I have read The Da Vinci Code and thought it was mildly entertaining, but I've never felt the need to read any other Dan Brown books. I guess he has a new book out that everyone is going ga-ga about?
This is an interesting application of the Hawkeye Initiative. Of course, you can't post something like that and not expect a backlash, but that's what comments sections are for! The only thing I wonder about is what the person involved wanted to achieve. If it was that men deserve to be exploited as much as women, then, yay? But it's still an interesting story.
This is an interesting list about why ten pilots got rejected when they seemed to have good buzz. I'm not sure if the reasons are all true, but if they are, they shine an interesting light into the "mediocre rules all" mindset of network television executives. As for The Sixth Gun … they claim it's because NBC is trying desperately to be like CBS. Good luck with that, NBC.
The cult of Benedict Cumberbatch explains why it's the strongest one on the Internet. Maybe. It's still a fun collection.
The Bea Arthur nude painting sells for $1.9 million. Yes, you read that correctly. Don't click that link unless you want to see something you can never unsee!!!!
George Takei responds to anti-gay people with hand-written notes. They're very funny. When do you think Takei become the King of the Internet? Show your work! The most depressing thing about the anti-gay people are how young they are. Man, that's just sad.
This past Monday was the 28th anniversary of the MOVE disaster in Philadelphia. In case you don't know what I'm talking about, that was the day – 13 May 1985 – when the mayor of Philadelphia and its police force decided to bomb a house in their own city. The MOVE case is much more complicated than that – read more about it here – and the members of MOVE were certainly not the saints that many people made them out to be, but it's kind of hard to see through all that when the ultimate fact is that the police dropped a bomb on the house and let it burn, killing almost everyone inside (including children) and destroying over 60 homes (because the fire quickly burned out of control). Let me tell you, for people living in the environs of Philadelphia on that day (including yours truly), it remains a bizarre abuse of power by a fairly corrupt police force.
This is a fairly snarky and even self-evident graduation address, but it's somewhat funny and I suppose it should be said to all those college graduates who think they're going to fall into their dream job and house at 23 years old.
This could probably go in the category below, but I figured I'd put it here: a Florida teenager got expelled from school and faces criminal charges for being gay. If you think that's ridiculous, read the story. Here's the Facebook page for the girl, and the first link takes you to the whole story (granted, from the girl's mother's point of view, but still). Many people have tried to make this about "age of consent" because the girl in question was only expelled once she turned 18 and her girlfriend is 15, but I'm not sure if that holds water. First of all, according to the girl's mother, they had one sexual experience, but it sounds like that the girl hasn't had much contact with the other since she turned 18, so if they were both under 18, there's no age-of-consent problem. Second of all, Florida appears to have close-in-age exemptions for situations like this, although that link doesn't tell what they are. I totally get where the people arguing from an "age of consent" standpoint are coming from – when I taught high-schoolers, we had plenty of underage girls getting pregnant, and very often the boys were over 18, but no one seemed to care. Arizona does not have close-in-age exceptions, but very often these girls were getting pregnant with the tacit approval of their parents, so what are you going to do? So I understand that concern, but it really doesn't seem to be the case here. This seems to be a case of parents not being able to handle that their daughter might be gay and lashing out at the girl who "converted" her. The fact that the school board and the district attorney seems to be going along with it is awful. Welcome to the 21st century, everyone!
Here's a story about rich people hiring handicapped people at Disney so they don't have to wait in line. That provides a link to original story, by the way. I'm not sure if these people are the most despicable people on the planet, but they're close.
I don't really care about Derrick Rose at all, but an old friend of mine, Allen Wallace, tore him a new one with regard to the fact that he doesn't seem to want to come back from an injury even though he's been medically cleared. Derrick Rose would probably say, "Willis Reed? Dude was cray-cray, man!"
That's all for this week, everyone. I hope you're enjoying Ho Chi Minh's birthday – you know you love him as much as I do!!!!
Greg, you rock, but using the C-word, uh, DOESN'T.
The C-word in a vacuum, maybe. What about the C-P phrase, though?
Paul: I've become less of a stickler with regard to it, mainly because some people have basically given me permission to use it. It IS just a word, after all. But I still won't use it that often, because I still don't like it very much. I just find that phrase hilarious, and let's be honest – people who hire handicapped people just to jump the line are really awful people, so I think it applies.
feel bad for both the girls involved. Just dreadful and childish on part of the younger girl's parents. They've only made things worse.
Also, I got to confess I went a little nuts in that comment thread about the Sexy Hawken controversy. I really think that one guy who wouldn't give up was grinding a misogynistic axe, and I just couldn't stop watching him dig the hole.
And a good time was had by all.
JRC: Oh yeah, I saw your handle there quite often. That dude was going to town, and it was fun to read the back-and-forth between him and you and the others. A good time was indeed had by all!
I wonder if my dad still has T-shirts some cop was selling at the time of the MOVE bombing. (My dad was a member of said police force at the time)
Re: the MOVE bombing, I recommend this book about Philadelphia: THE COP WHO WOULD BE KING.
I'm not a Chicago fan or anything but people ripping on Derrick Rose need to stop. Bill Simmons nailed it on the head when he pointed to the example of Gilbert Arenas. That man came back too early injury after injury. His career was ruined by it. Rose is playing it safe (and smart) by not playing this season at all.
The Disney thing is ludicrous. The worst part is that I'm not surprised at all to see rich people take advantage of those less fortunate. I see it way too often.
Finally, good job Florida. You're really showing those deviants what-for. Thank god you're here. Maybe you could show Arizona some tricks?
I will continue to make fun of Dan Brown, because Dan Brown is an awful writer.
Bill: This is why I would hate to be a cop. We know the Philly police force was corrupt, but I'm sure the vast majority of cops weren't, and I can't imagine trying to be an honest cop when you know others are not, especially if you don't want to rat them out. It has to be hard.
Mike: Ah, Frank Rizzo. What a fun guy.
P. Boz: I think the point about Rose is more that he won't even suit up and at least give the other team something to think about even though he's medically cleared to play and has been for some time. There's a balance between making sure you're healthy and keeping the respect of your teammates, and I wonder if Rose has lost some of the respect in the locker room. I agree that the "tough guy" mentality of athletes often works against them, but it seems that Rose is taking the opposite tack to its extreme.
Yeah, whenever I think Arizona is the craziest state in the country, some other state manages to raise the bar a bit. Now we'll have to see what our legislature and governor come up with next to seize the title back!
I'm sorry, but everything your friend wrote about Derrick Rose is completely crazy.
There are several factors to consider.
1. As P. Boz brought up, the specter of Gilbert Arenas (and Grant Hill, and Penny Hardaway, and several others) hangs over the league. When you have a major knee or ankle injury, that's not something you hurry back from. As Simmons has pointed out, coming back isn't purely about when you're physically ready, it's also about when you're mentally ready. You have to believe your knee can go back to doing what it used to do. Rose's game is almost purely built around his speed and ability to fly through traffic and get to the rim. It's Iverson-like in that way. If he doesn't have the mental confidence that his knee is ready to do that again, then he isn't ready to play. Rose isn't the type of player that can find ways to be effective by clearing out for crafty pull-up jumpers, he needs the speed and agility and the belief that his knees can provide that.
2. Rose is only 6 seasons out of high school. He's 23 or 24 years old. Ideally, he'll be a star player for the Bulls for the next 10-12 years. This isn't a decision about how to help his team right now, it's a decision about how to help his team for the next decade. McHale played the '87 playoffs on a broken foot and it seems glorious and warrior-like, but in hindsight, was it the best call? The Celtics still lost, McHale was never the same (he still walks funny), and that was the beginning of the end for the Celtics. I suspect Rose is looking at stuff like that.
3. The debate about whether he could have helped the Bulls is a ridiculous one. In 2011, when the Bulls were at full strength, Miami plowed through them in the Eastern Conference Finals. And Miami in 2013 is better than Miami was in 2011, while the Bulls aren't as good and were missing Deng. And if Rose had come back for the series, it's not as though he would have immediately looked like the '11 MVP again. Coming back takes time. There's rust. The notion that Rose could have turned the tide in the series is honestly insane. When Willis Reed came back in game seven of the '70 finals, that's because it was game seven of the finals. This is the second round. The risk versus reward is worth it when you're talking about being 48 minutes away from a title. When you're a month and 15-20 games away, it's not the same debate. not even close.
People are supposed to learn from the mistakes of the past. Citing previous examples of guys risking their careers to play only serves to illustrate why guys should be smarter now. If the Bulls were serious title contenders and they just needed a tiny push, this might be a different debate, but that's not the case. They were a team decimated by injury that managed to bother the champs a little, but ultimately lost pretty handily. Making an impulsive decision that shows no regard for the long-term doesn't help alter that team's destiny, it only jeopardizes it.
4. And for your friend to say that the Bulls should trade Rose because of this is the single most ludicrous thing he wrote. At any given moment, there are somewhere between 5-12 true franchise players in the NBA. A lot of franchises go decades without having one. Every historical instance of a team trading a franchise player has been a mistake that took years to recover from. So your friend thinks Chicago should trade Rose because there's a minute chance that he *might* be a pussy? Five years ago people thought Dirk was a pussy, then he won a title. Two years ago people thought LeBron was a pussy, now he looks like the most dominant athlete any sport has seen in 20 years. Everyone looks like the guy that can't win when it counts until they win when it counts. Everyone looks like the guy that will fold until they don't. Right now, Rose might look like the guy afraid to get his hands dirty, but if he still looks like that in five years, I'll be shocked. Bulls better hope he's still in a Chicago jersey when he's leaving a trail of playoff bodies in his wake. History shows there's a 100% chance of them regretting it if they trade him. But I can't imagine they would.
Daniel: Well, as I noted, I don't really care about Rose one way or the other, but I do think there's something to be said for being a leader in the locker room, and I have no idea how Rose's teammates view his decision, and neither does my friend or anyone else, except for the people in the locker room. While basketball is different because of the small number of players on the floor and the team, getting rid of a superstar isn't always the worst move to make, especially if that superstar has lost the respect of the other players. So I don't think the idea is ridiculous, but I don't think I would do it. I'm not sure if Rose is as elite as other people think he is, but then again, I don't follow basketball as much as I do some of the other sports.
His biggest defenders have been his teammates. Joakim Noah, in particular, had a vociferous defense of Rose's decision. It comes down to only one person truly knowing when Rose is ready to play basketball and that's Rose. As Noah basically said, everyone else can fuck off.
The one thing I think it is fair to criticize Rose for is that he should have been more upfront about the fact that he clearly was not going to be playing in the playoffs. The hints that he "might" be able to play were bullshit. He knew he wasn't going to play, so he should have said as much.
But waiting until he's 100% is completely reasonable for an injury with high rates of reoccurring injury. It hurts like heck to play with Plantar fasciitis, but it is not going to do any longterm damage to you to play with it. So while it is impressive that Noah is grinding it out with Plantar fasciitis, his career is not in danger by playing with it. If it were, he would be sitting, too.
Deng, meanwhile, had to explain that he had a freakin' SPINAL TAP when fans were getting on him for not playing. So you can't take fan reaction to your injury seriously. You have to just go by whether you feel you can play.
And yes, while the criticisms of Rose are silly, the idea of TRADING him is so dumb that I can only hope that it was included for the ol' "Say something outrageous so people will link to my article" reason.
I agree with Brian, I do think Rose could have been more up front if he clearly knew he wouldn't be playing, but that's really the only legitimate criticism of his actions that I can see.
And I understand the notion that if a superstar has lost the respect of his teammates than trading him might not be the worst idea. Howard and Carmelo are recent examples, as they had both more or less quit on their former teams. But even if a good argument can be made for why Denver and Orlando "had" to trade them, it's pretty difficult to argue that either of those teams are better off. You're always a small step or two away from seriously competing for a title when you have a superstar. When you don't, you're a superstar away from seriously competing for a title.
And as to how elite Rose is, it's like this… There's LeBron, and then there are a handful of guys who are as good as any non-LeBron person can be. Durant probably leads that group, but Rose (assuming he comes back at full strength) is right there with him. Then you have Westbrook, Paul, Carmelo, Wade, Curry, Harden and arguably a few others. Keep in mind that Rose won the league MVP in what could have been his senior year of college. He really is that good.

Ambac Financial Group Files Bankruptcy to Restructure Bond Debt
Ambac Financial Group Inc., a holding company for the bond insurer being restructured by state regulators in Wisconsin, filed for bankruptcy with liabilities of $1.68 billion as of June 30 on an unconsolidated basis.
Ambac Financial, which filed its petition for Chapter 11 protection yesterday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan, seeks to reschedule payments on more than $1 billion in bonds and other claims. Ambac Financial said this month it was trying to negotiate terms of a bankruptcy court restructuring with senior lenders.
Ambac Financial is the holding company of Ambac Assurance Corp., which has about $57.6 billion in policies insuring credit derivatives and other financial products that are being restructured by Wisconsin regulators, according to the company. While state regulators handle workouts of U.S. insurance companies, their holding companies can go through federal bankruptcy courts.
Senior creditors didn't agree to a so-called prepackaged plan for a quick restructuring, and it couldn't raise capital as "an alternative," Ambac Financial said yesterday in a statement. Still, creditors agreed to a "non-binding term sheet that will serve as a basis for further negotiations," Ambac Financial said.
'More Expeditiously'
That agreement may allow the company to emerge from bankruptcy "more expeditiously," it said.
"If you don't have a deal with creditors, it's hard to predict who the new management will be on the other side of bankruptcy, how long the Chapter 11 will take, and how much it will cost," said Evan Flaschen, a lawyer at Bracewell & Giuliani LLP who isn't involved in the case. "It injects uncertainty."
Ambac Financial said it would ask for a court order to restrict transfers of shares and claims to preserve about $7 billion in net operating losses.
Those assets would lose their value under U.S. tax law if investors holding 5 percent or more of Ambac shares began to sell them, or if claims were sold by investors who might receive 5 percent of the reorganized company's stock under a bankruptcy plan, it said in the statement.
Bank of New York Mellon Corp. was listed as the largest unsecured creditor, with claims totaling about $1.62 billion for its role as trustee to seven different types of notes. The Vanguard Group Inc. was listed as the largest shareholder, with 5.46 percent of the company's stock.
Ambac Assurance, the operating company, was the second-biggest bond insurer before the credit crisis.
The Ambac companies were founded as a unit of MGIC Investment Corp., the Milwaukee-based mortgage insurer, and insured their first municipal bond in 1971.
The holding company case is In re Ambac Financial Group Inc., 10-15973, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

I have really good friends and a great support system around me. My life hasn't really changed, I've just become busier.
Are you very close with your family?
People laugh that we're like the Brady Bunch because of how close our family is. We go to Disneyland all the time. Or we go out to dinner or eat dinner together as a family and watch TV.
And you're all pretty musical.
Yes. My mom, Dianna, opened for Reba McEntire and George Strait and Hank Williams Jr. when she was younger. And my sisters [Madison, 8, and Dallas, 21] love to sing. Madison did some of the chants on the "We Rock" track on Camp Rock.
Do you have rules like an allowance or a curfew?
I have a curfew. And my parents will get mad at me if I spend too much money. I respect that. My dad is all about saving money, so I always call my mom if I want to buy something!
What do you splurge on?
I'm very serious about my shoe collection. I have 48 pairs of high heels in my closet, and they are all designer—Christian Louboutin, Prada, Dolce & Gabbana. It's a nice investment, because you can wear them forever.
What can you not live without?
My MacBook laptop. It has all of my favorite music on there. I don't even need it for the Internet. It's something easy for me to write on and listen to music on.
You have such a great smile. Did you ever have braces?
No, I've never had braces. I did bond my gap together. Disney made me do it. I'm going to get in trouble for saying that!
What are your career goals?
I want to continue doing the TV show. Then I want to take my acting to feature films and take on more challenging crazy roles, like Rosario Dawson does. One day I want to write scripts and books, because I like writing. I also want to continue making more albums and tour. Ultimately, when I'm in my 30s, I want to become a director.
But first you need to get a driver's license, right?
I've got my driver's permit!
What kind of car will you buy?
I definitely don't want a sports car. I'm terrified of little cars. When I was 13, my parents would let me drive around the neighborhood, and I started learning on my dad's Expedition. So I think I want an SUV.
What did you think when John Mayer Twittered that he loved your song "La La Land"?
I was in school with Selena [Demi was homeschooled and graduated after passing the California High School Proficiency Exam in April]. I was on my computer, on Twitter, and Selena was doing her schoolwork, and I was like, "Ha! Oh my God!" And she was like, "What?" And I was like, "John Mayer just posted about me on Twitter." I freaked out! I was so excited.

Watch Kelly Clarkson Cover Taylor Swift's 'Shake It Off' [VIDEO]
Even Kelly Clarkson knows a good song when she hears one. She's often covered songs by Carrie Underwood and Pink during her own concerts, and now she's putting her own spins on Taylor Swift's #1 hit 'Shake It Off'. Is there ANYTHING that Kelly doesn't make sound better? Lol.

It's hard to find just the right gift for that special someone. Maybe they have everything. Maybe they are the practical sort, but you still want to wow them. It's easy to be thoughtful and give a gift of automotive joy. Here's our guide to some of the better products and ideas for those who spend too much time in their cars but don't have enough time to upgrade them.
WeatherTech All-Season Floormats ($169)
If you're a guy, buying a quality set of all-season floormats for your better half may be insulting, but ultimately welcomed. I purchased and tested WeatherTech's incessantly advertised Digital Fit mats last winter, and they haven't left our Subaru Outback since. While $169 for a set of front and rear mats may sound expensive, you'll pay that much or more at a dealer for manufacturer-produced mats. That might be why you left that box unchecked when buying your last car.
If you have kids, the ability to catch apple juice from a dropped sippy is as vital as wiping up melted snow.
Car Detailing
If you don't' have the time or talent to give your better half the gift of a sparkling wax and interior shampooing, seek out a local car wash and detail shop. A good detailing can cost around $100 (or much more depending on location and type of vehicle) and includes the basic interior and exterior cleaning as well as a wax, carpet shampoo and some sort of upholstery cleaning.
Dealer-Installed Gadgets
It happens to all of us. We buy the trim level of car we can afford, and maybe it doesn't have all the bells and whistles we like. Many automakers sell dealer-installed accessories for Bluetooth devices, iPods and more. There's usually a price for the device and the installation, and they'll likely cost more than buying a Bluetooth speaker or aftermarket stereo, but they will help slightly with resale value and are usually well integrated into the car.
Note for gift givers: You'll need to be creative to get your significant other's vehicle out of his or her hands for the time it will take to get these gadgets installed at your local dealer.
Honda Remote Starter ($512)
It's cold outside for much of the country, and that might get you thinking that you should've gotten a remote start system on your new car.
Popular Honda models — including the Accord, Civic and CR-V — offer a two-way remote start system that can heat or cool the vehicle before you get in. Remote start isn't unique to Honda, but the company's remote unit shows your car's status and how much longer it will take to get warm or cool. You must have a model equipped with automatic climate control.
Subaru Media Hub ($299-$349.95)
Subaru offers both Bluetooth and USB integration on the latest-generation Outback and Legacy models. The Media Hub with USB connection costs $299, and the streaming Bluetooth one is $349.95. I'll warn you, though, that Subaru's iPod integration is clunky and might frustrate non-tech-savvy drivers. I know from personal experience.
Toyota iPod Interface ($299)
The simple iPod interface stores in the glove compartment and lets drivers control the iPod through steering-wheel audio controls.
Toyota Blu Logic Hands-Free System ($299)

Police identify suspect in Times-News break-in
Published: Thursday, April 22, 2010 at 10:44 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 22, 2010 at 10:44 a.m.
Police have identified a 38-year-old man they say broke into the Times-News offices located at the Henderson Crossing Plaza.
David Fortes, 38, whose last known address was the Southernaire Motel in Edneyville, has been charged with felony breaking and entering and felony larceny, Hendersonville Police Department Capt. David Adams said.
Adams said through fingerprint evidence, the department was able to identify Fortes, who has still not been apprehended.
Fortes' fingerprints were able to be identified with the assistance of the Henderson County Sheriff's Office, which recently obtained a fingerprint identification system, Adams said.
The break-in was reported March 29, and Fortes took items from the then unoccupied building located at 106 Henderson Crossing Plaza, including a flat-screen television.
Anyone with information on Fortes' whereabouts is asked to contact the Hendersonville Police Department at 828-697-3025.

Real estate tax revenue currently constitutes 14.2 percent in local government tax revenue and local governments should try to increase this share, Finance Minister Andris Vilks (Unity) said during today's conference on the development of the Latvian real estate market.
At the moment, local government tax revenue constitutes 57 percent of total revenue, real estate tax revenue amounts to 8 percent. Personal income tax revenue makes up 85 percent of local government tax revenue, real estate tax revenue - 14.2 percent, informed Vilks.
Local government reluctantly collect real estate tax revenue and would rather receive 100 percent of personal income tax revenue, added the minister.
There have been plenty of heated discussions on the matter over the past five years. However, it is possible that local governments should collect more in real estate tax revenue and personal income tax revenue should be balanced between the state and local governments, explained Vilks.
Local governments have always predicted smaller real estate tax revenue than their actual amounts. Real estate tax revenue reached LVL 73 million in 2009, LVL 90 million in 2010, LVL 110 million in 2011 and LVL 117 million in 2012, said the minister. This year, real estate tax revenue is projected at LVL 119 million.

I'm having an issue where the Insert Link function in the post/page editing screen does nothing when clicking on "Link to existing content" does nothing, and clicking Insert Link after adding the link URL manually takes me to the Posts page (and the link still isn't there).
I'm working on two websites at the moment which are using child themes of the same base theme. The second one, which I started working on yesterday, was essentially a duplicate of the parent + child theme of the first one and then I have started to further customise it but only with HTML and CSS. When the issue appeared I deactivated all plugins but it still occurred.
Website 1 was running WP 3.4.2. I basically cloned that site to create Website 2, which I then upgraded to 3.5. Upon discovering the issue I reverted back to 3.4.2 and the issue no longer occurs.
Any suggestions on how to fix this would be most appreciated!

Thanks for the plugin, one of the few ones that actually works.
I have couple of questions. I would like to use the styling you have on your site http://pupunzi.com/ on the top right. Just the speaker icon with no background and no play/pause button. I would be able to do it via css but cannot identify the names of the elements to define attributes for. Would you be able to help?
Also, I am having the same issue as someone else for the symbols on the player buttons appearing as letters instead, in Firefox.
I have also notices, the autoplay does not work for me on iPad or android smartphone. Is that by design?

Programming note: Coverage of Game 3 of the A's-Angels series begins tonight with A's Pregame Live at 6:30 p.m. on Comcast SportsNet California
ANAHEIM -- Jerry Blevins is a skinny guy, probably because his teammates let him go hungry. After pulling off a seemingly impossible save Tuesday night in Anaheim, Blevins could be heard hollering in the clubhouse, "Where's my pie? Where's my pie?""I was half expecting it while doing the TV," Blevins said. "It was a perfect moment for a pitcher to get a little love." In the bottom of the ninth inning with a one run lead, runners on the corners and no outs, Blevins got the call. As the 37,764 in attendance had the place shaking, and the Angels bats had the A's quaking, Blevins had a game plan. Strikeout, double play, pie. Two out of three isn't half bad. Blevins struck out Kendrys Morales on five pitches. The switch hitter went down swinging on an 85-MPH change up. Four pitches later Howie Kendrick hit a 92-MPH sinker straight to Josh Donaldson, who threw to Cliff Pennington, who turned the game-ending double play to give the A's a 6-5 victory.Blevins let out a primordial scream as the A's dugout emptied in celebration. It was easily the biggest moment in Blevins playing career, one he said was better than his Major League debut. "I felt like pure elation," Blevins said. "It was one of the loudest screams I've ever given on a the baseball field." Morales is a switch hitter so the A's were comfortable turning him around with the left-handed Blevins on the mound. Kendrick is a right-handed hitter but was 0 for 4 in his career against Blevins. With Ryan Cook unavailable the A's clearly had a trick up their sleeve with Blevins. "Talk about Houdini," A's manager Bob Melvin said. "You know he's not going to get a lefty, but we were trying to turn Morales around and hope he can make good pitches after that." The A's were in this situation in the first place because closer Grant Balfour had an uncharacteristically rough night. He entered the game with a three-run lead and walked the first two batters he faced. He was removed after back-to-back RBI singles put the Angels in position to win the game in walk-off fashion. Balfour who had converted his last 10 save opportunities prior to Tuesday, appeared to be very frustrated with the strike zone of home plate umpire Paul Schrieber. Immediately after the game Balfour went into the clubhouse and watched the video of each pitch he threw. After reviewing the tape and blowing off some steam he calmed down. "They do a great job at what they do and it is frustrating sometimes when you see it one way, they see it another and you are trying to pitch and get outs in big games like that." Balfour said. "I felt there was a couple strikes that should have been called but at the end of the day I've got to make better pitches and get out of that situation too."As soon as he left the game he became Blevins' biggest fan. The donut-loving lefty didn't disappoint. "That was awesome, coming in for a strikeout and a double play was the way to write it up," Balfour said. "I was on the top step, I am the guy cheering for him." Dan Straily, who also deserves a share of the credit for the A's 11th consecutive road win, was inside watching on TV. He said everyone in the clubhouse went crazy when the A's recorded the final two outs. Straily went six and two-thirds innings, he allowed three runs on seven hits and struck out eight batters. All of the runs he allowed scored via the long ball. The last time he faced the Angels he gave up four homers."After throwing a ton of pitches in the first couple innings I looked over my shoulder and saw the bullpen going and was making sure that I was not going to be embarrassed again," Straily said. Melvin had Tyson Ross warming up in the second inning after Straily gave up a two-run homer to Vernon Wells. From the third inning on, Straily looked like a completely different pitcher. "For him to get us all the way through for almost a full seventh that's quite the turnaround for a kid that was on the ropes," Melvin said. Straily earned his second Major League win with his dad watching. It was his father's birthday and they had breakfast before the game. Usually the offense gets all the attention. The performance of the A's hitters is easy to forget after what transpired on the mound. Yoenis Cespedes snapped out of a 21-game homerless streak with a solo homer in the first inning. Brandon Moss clubbed a two-run homer in the fourth inning, his 18th of the year and sixth in the last 12 games. In the ninth inning the A's got some crucial insurance runs. Coco Crisp hit an RBI triple to right field that was misplayed by Torii Hunter. As the veteran right fielder chased after the ball, Crisp rounded third and scored. Every last bit was needed in this game. It still all boiled down to one unreal effort by a man that just wanted a little post game pie. He did get a treat though. The A's victory over the Angels puts the A's 21 games over .500 -- that's pretty sweet. His second career save, well, that can be the cherry on top.
Blevins goes hungry after Houdini-esque routine

I work in Building 20 on the Microsoft campus, and Building 20 is where the Platform Adoption Center is located. The PAC is a rather unique place where Microsoft invites forward looking software developers, hardware developers, and IT professionals to see and use new Microsoft technologies for the very first time. Its where .NET, IIS7, and Longhorn were shown to the outside world for the VERY first time. If you have been lucky enough to visit Building 20, you may have been one of the first hundred people in the WORLD to see something cool.
There are only 2 guys from Microsoft that live full time in the PAC and I'm one of them. We host an average of 4 events a week that showcase brand spanking new bits fresh from the product teams. And since B20 is so close to the product teams, the speakers are often the lead developers of those very bits. The information that gets presented here is often the first time its been presented in any form, and I swear, sometimes its even being created on the fly as the attendees and the product teams interact with each other.
The PAC is one of the few places (maybe the only one) where other companies bring their bits to work on with the assistance of the product teams. In most cases these bits have never been seen in the outside world either and are just as interesting as any of the bits that Microsoft creates.
In this blog I try, within the limits of NDAs and general common sense, to report or mention some of the things I see each week. I also get to use some of the technologies and I write about that too.

Garlic Herb Pepperoni Bread (bread machine)
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 2 hrs 45 mins
This recipe smells great baking and is great toasted with butter or cheese. Kids love it! Makes 1.5 lb. loaf. Cook time listed includes dough prep and rise time.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup water, warm or room temp
- 1⁄4 cup light olive oil
- 3 cups bread flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2-1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1⁄2-1 tablespoon minced dried onion
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1⁄4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1⁄3 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1⁄4 cup pepperoni slice, chopped
- 2 teaspoons bread machine yeast
- Place the ingredients in the bread machine pan in the order listed or as recommended by your machine's manufacturer.
- You can adjust the garlic and onion to your preference.
- Don't let the salt touch the yeast.
- At this point you can either select White Bread and press Start to complete in the bread machine, or use the dough setting and finish in the oven.
- I prefer the oven method as it seems to result in a higher loaf with better texture.
- Directions for oven method: Select dough cycle and press start.
- When complete, turn the dough out onto a floured surface and punch down.
- Flatten out into a rectangle, patting to get out bubbles.
- Roll tightly into a log, turn seam side down, and tuck the ends under.
- Place into a loaf pan that has been lightly greased with olive oil, loosely cover with plastic wrap sprayed with nonstick spray, and let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes or until doubled.
- Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30 minutes or until done (if the bottom of the loaf sounds hollow when tapped, it's done).
- Immediately remove from loaf pan and cool on a wire rack at least 10-15 minutes before slicing.

Great bread for a baked grillled cheese sandwich. I did wait until the beap to add pepperoni chips and the cheese. Worked great to bake in the oven.
First of all this was worth making for the smell alone! Our house smelled SO WONDERFUL as this "did its thing" in the bread machine. I made a few changes due to ingredient lapses in my pantry. I used onion powder instead of minced onion and sharp cheddar instead of mozzarella. Also used a spice blend called "Italian Seasoning" from McCormick! Just wanted to point out that the pepperoni kind of disintegrates during the mixing process so if your kids (or you) are looking fwd to big pieces of pepperoni, you may be disappointed. The flavor is definitely spot on! Made myself a lovely grilled cheese with this bread for lunch (along with a bowl of tomato soup)! Thanks for the great recipe!!!
Needed to add a little more garlic and pepperoni, but the kids love it!

The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material.

Improving Oral Health
Spry Oral Rinse is a great tasting rinse designed to help keep the mouth and teeth refreshingly clean. In combination with proper brushing and flossing, it helps eliminate the build-up of bacterial biofilm - that slimy film that collects on healthy teeth. Spry doesn't use any artificial sweeteners, fructose or sucrose, and is sweetened only with natural xylitol that has clinically proven oral health benefits. Spry contains Aloe Vera, Chamomile and Echinacea for their soothing properties, and Calcium Glycerophosphate, which aids in the development of stronger teeth. In addition, Spry contains just the right amount of germ killing alcohol that doesn't produce an over-powering burning sensation found in some mouthwashes.
Suggested Use
Rinse full strength for 60 seconds in the morning and at bedtime with one half capful of oral rinse after brushing with Spry Toothpaste. (Not intended to be swallowed.)
Other Ingredients
Purified water, xylitol, grain alcohol (ethanol), cool mint flavor (blend of natural flavors), vegetable glycerin (from non-GMO palm fruits), calcium glycerophosphate, aloe barbadensis juice concentrate (aloe vera), calendula officinalis (marigold) flower extract, chamomilla recutita extract, echinacea purpurea (olive) leaf extract, thymus vulgaris (thyme) extract.
If you have sinus problems, this will really make a difference. It really helped me with mine.
The new formula works just as well as the old with a slightly new flavor. Product does not burn my mouth like some do, but does leave it feeling fresh and clean.
I think this is the best.

Fresh, feels clean and reasonable price. I have used some other mouthwashes (neem, Toms) and this was the best so far.

The Only Rinse You Ever Need!
Posted by 5004117696887906712 on Jan 29, 2015
We love this xylitol rinse as it is known to heal issues with teeth and some people state it has natural powers for health (take that information as you please). We have been using this rinse for about 10 years and have not turned back against it. We used to purchase it from a whole foods store but after moving are thrilled to find it here online and for a reasonable price. It leaves your mouth super fresh and minty for hours. Plus, there is no alcohol taste afterwards and no dry mouth feeling. We would recommend over and over again!

Thought I was buying the spray, my mistake.
Pleasant Mouthwash but Strong
Posted by 4877049725693142163 on Dec 06, 2014
This is a good mouthwash but was much stronger that I expected. It is not alcohol free which I generally prefer. A bit sweet but still left a fresh taste and feel.

Um, if Dan thought his gaydar was going off watching Haggart, check out the guy that's taking his place.
Click on the link that says "raw interview"
Did the Bush Administration Supress Findings on Global Warming?
Uh, I didn't even read the article, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say, "Yes." Is this even in question?
A great big schadendefreud-eatin' grin was plastered all over my face, until I found the following quote from the Washington Post something of a buzzkill:
"Green also noted that under Haggard's leadership, the NAE has sought to widen the evangelical agenda to include global warming, international human rights and poverty issues. Although non-evangelicals may view Haggard as a diehard conservative, within the evangelical movement he is seen as a moderate, Green said.
'If the allegations are proven true, it could discredit a prominent moderate figure in the evangelical community,' he said."
Eric, I see you point, but let's be real. Gay hooker or not, this dude wasn't going to change anyone's mind about global warming. Besides, as far as I know, he made most of his noise about the gays. There are plenty of people out there making noise about global warming, etc that don't lobby for anti gay rights legislation...
I'm sorry, but screw the gay preacher story.
Why isn't anyone talking about this?
The white house fucking released documents regarding Iraq's nuclear intelligence, including a detailed guide on how to put together a nuke. They put this on the internet for everyone to see.
Gee, I feel safer now that just about anyone can start nuclear war!
The web site story is the second story linked at the top of the post.
Mike, I'm not saying I feel sorry for the guy. Or even that my (and let me try spelling it better this time) schadenfreude is all gone. It's just taken the edge of the ebullience, you know? Why couldn't it have been Falwell, or our other favorite native son here in CO, Dobson?
You are right that there are lots of people making noise about global warming, but how many of them have 15,000 Colorado Springs Republicans hanging on their every word, each Sunday?
"The study was financed by eight diverse organizations"... from one giant corporation to a non-profit funded by giant corporations, with the other 6 completely unmentioned. Those stats sound like such bullshit! Architecture firms and t-shirt vendors will suffer immensely from a rebuilt viaduct! Let it come crashing down during the next earthquake instead...
Well, yeah, no matter which viaduct plan you pick, you likely put the majority of the smaller Waterfront businesses out of business.
Oh, and what about the ferries?
Why don't those lawmen sweep those Geriatric old pervs in DC out of office. Nationwide manhunt sweeps GOP out of their seats! thats a headline i'd like to see next week
Eric, I hear you about the 15000 rebublicans. And yes, I dream of the day that Falwell or Dobson get theirs. One can only pray :)
RE: Hypocrisy and homophobia
A few weeks ago, another Slogger admonished me for pointing out that university research has shown that the most virulent homophobes are the ones that have the most intensely repressed homosexual urges. He called that an "outmoded stereotype," I believe.
Sir, you owe me a Coke.
Sorry to be so picky, but it's "scandalous" not "scandolous"
I'm a lousy speller. I will make the change. Thanks.
Election's Tuesday.
Good news about the governorships. Most presidents were governors before being elected to the top political job. The more Democrats in the mix, then the better chances for the party to take the White House. Even better that they might take the Congress where, you know, laws are actually written and budgets passed.
What's the big deal? Anyone with a college-level physics background has sufficient knowledge to make a nuclear bomb; heck, even I understand the basic concepts and theories, although I lack the technical expertise. The only real obstacle is of course obtaining a sufficient quantity of enriched Uranium in order to make it work.
@17: it depends how detailed they were, and it sounds like they had info. re: firing switches and other obscure details. But yeah, nothing that an aspiring terrorist with a student visa couldn't learn in college, I'm sure.
That viaduct study is stupid. What are they advocating, "leave it as is"?? Of course it'll have an impact when it's closed, but it would have an even greater impact if it collapsed.
"The documents, roughly a dozen in number, contain charts, diagrams, equations and lengthy narratives about bomb building that nuclear experts who have viewed them say go beyond what is available elsewhere on the Internet and in other public forums. For instance, the papers give detailed information on how to build nuclear firing circuits and triggering explosives, as well as the radioactive cores of atom bombs."
I would assume that if it only takes a college education in physics to make a bomb, that public forums would contain this information. I could be wrong. I am obviously an idiot who can't read given that this story was included in Josh's news post.
I still feel like this contradicts the notion that the Republican party is strong on fighting terrorism.
@14 - firefox v2 has integrated spell checker. my spelling is horrid and I've found the feature pretty handy.
Well, again it would depend on the type of bomb to which these documents relate. From the sounds of it, these referenced fairly sophisticated devices that might include implosion-type bombs, which would certainly require much more technical knowledge than a simpler, cruder "gun barrel" type device (i.e. "Little Boy", the first Uranium bomb exploded at Los Alamos).
good point, Charles, altho it hates the word altho and also Mudede if you try to type that.
Not only did the documents have fairly detailed bomb-building instructions, but most of them were in Arabic. Handy for the odd Wahhabbi sect or Al-Qaeda cell that doesn't have access to better resources and isn't too conversant in English...
I swear to Dog, those fuckers are TRYING to bring about Armageddon.
A moderate Evangelist sounds like a contradiction in terms to me... but I guess it's all relative.
Dear God, but I wish it had been Phelps from KS... that would have made my month!
No, Phelps wouldn't have been nearly as good. Evangelicals hate the motherfucking shit out of that moron, much more than, say, gays do. They'd REVEL in his fall. Having this happen to Haggard, who is one of THE MOST influential evangelical leaders out there, hurts them bigtime. People really do believe in him. Most evangelicals regard guys like Falwell as an embarrassment, but Haggard, even more than Dobson, is THEIR MAN. This is a body blow.

In January 2008, 9,123 people worked in manufacturing and distribution in Jackson County.
That was a month after the recession began. One year later, 1,704 of those jobs had disappeared.
It would take four years before local employers would add enough jobs to top the pre-recession number.

Why Edgar belongs in Cooperstown
Longtime DH has the numbers to warrant election, but will he get the necessary votes?
Originally Published: December 28, 2009By David Schoenfield | ESPN.com
Edgar Martinez never appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated. He never played in a World Series. He was never the subject of an ESPN "Sunday Night Conversation" and certainly never made the headlines of TMZ, Us Weekly or the National Enquirer.
All Edgar did was hit.
His approach to his craft was legendary: the daily eye exercises with flash cards; practicing hitting against tennis balls screaming at him at 150 mph; not watching TV during the season; weighing his bats to the quarter-ounce ...

I have this problem for two days now. First when it happened, logging out and back in helped, but now this occurs right after booting. I cannot activate any window by clicking into it, and also cannot minimalise, or close it with mouse. In few applications I cannot even interact with them with mouse (e.g. clicking on links in browser). I can scroll an active window with the trackball, and sometimes everything works normally for a little while. Everything works fine, when I use keyboard for this, I can resize, move, close windows with keyboard shortcuts, etc.
I ran a complete Avast! scan, but it found nothing important. Also event viewer did not show any relevant errors. Here's a log from HijackThis if it helps anything.

The San Diego State Aztecs have added future football games against California, New Mexico State, and San Jose State, the school announced today.
Agreements with California and New Mexico State call for home-and-home series, while SDSU and San Jose State will play a total of three games.
San Diego State will travel to face Cal at California Memorial Stadium in Berkley on Sept. 12, 2015. The Aztecs will then host the Golden Bears at Qualcomm Stadium on Sept. 10, 2016.
SDSU and Cal have met six times and the series is even at three games apiece. The two schools haven't played since 1996.
The Aztecs will travel to face New Mexico State at Aggie Memorial Stadium in Las Cruces on Sept. 28, 2013. SDSU had been scheduled to face San Jose State in 2013 (Sept. 14), but the game was moved back to 2016 to make room for the trip to NMSU. The Aggies will be an FBS Independent beginning with the 2013 season.
New Mexico State will travel to San Diego State on Sept. 24, 2016 to complete the other half of the home-and-home series. SDSU leads the all-time series against NMSU 8-1-1.
The 2013 NMSU game completes San Diego State's 2013 non-conference schedule. After opening at home vs. Eastern Illinois, San Diego State travels to face Ohio State on Sept. 7 and then hosts Oregon State on Sept. 21.
With their 2013 meeting pushed back, San Diego State and San Jose State will next meet on Sept. 13, 2014 at Qualcomm. The Aztecs will then travel to face the Spartans at Spartan Stadium in San Jose on Sept. 26, 2015 and again on Sept. 17, 2016.
San Diego State and San Jose State have met 36 times since 1935. The Spartans lead the series 19-15-2, which includes their 38-34 victory over the Aztecs on Sept. 22.
Future Football Schedules
I rather SJSU be playing the Aztecs as a conference foe….this has turned into quite a rivalry as both programs are starting to get their mojo back…
SDSU and SJSU didnt even play each other in 2009, 2010, or 2011 nor will they play in 2013. That's a strange definition of "quite a rivalry".

They're words that move hearts — and feet!
Buglisi Dance Theatre will hit the stage of the Kingsborough Performing Arts Center this month with an exclusive (and free!) preview of its original ballet, "Letters of Love on Ripped Paper." The work is based on historical figures' mail to their sweethearts.
Creator Jacqulyn Buglisi hired actors to record excerpts of letters that date back to 750 AD.
There's Napoleon Bonaparte's heartfelt ode to his wife, Josephine; Abigail Adams's notes to her husband, John Adams; and Queen Victoria's passionate letters to Prince Albert. They're all set to an original score by composer Daniel Brewbaker, with Buglisi choreographing various dances based on the emotive writing.
"I wanted it to come across like a play with a story," Buglisi said. "The rhythm and pulse of the dances are inspired by the feelings behind the words."
The company will take the show to the Joyce Theatre in West Brooklyn for a week-long run in February, but the Kingsborough production will feature a special act that won't be part of that show: performers will dance to love letters written by audience members.
"We've already incorporated five audience submissions," Buglisi said. "And we may improvise dances to additional letters that people bring to the Kingsborough show."
So get writing!
"Letters of Love on Ripped Paper" at the Kingsborough Performing Arts Center [2001 Oriental Blvd. at Decatur Avenue in Manhattan Beach, (718) 368-5596], Jan. 18 at 8 pm. Free. For info, visit www.kcckpac.org.

text: Posted January 26, 2013 it had its share of ridiculous fallacies and double standards but there's a high level of constructive debates in here (at least as far as it pertains to checks and balances that help shape the way I view an issue.) I wouldn't spend my time here if it was just a gaggle of morons IMO, it has devolved into groups of conservatives and liberals pointing fingers and making insulting comments about each other. With the occassional conspiracy theorist thread of course. Although I guess in that regard, its mostly following the pattern of the rest of the country. Or mayber the board always been that way, but I am just burnt out on political discussions. I still come here sometimes and will probably come more when football season is over, and I guess I do see rational discussions of issues on occassion, but it seems to be a rare occurence anymore.

Hey there,
Great plugin and I am using it for posts on this blog:
It works well with my theme, but there is only one small problem. The font in the respond textarea has changed from black to light grey. Is there a CSS Styling in the plugin that would cause this, and how would I fix it? i.e DO I just add a new CSS class?
Cheers and Thanx!!
