On reflection, no fiscal cliff Happy New Year
January 12, 2013
Seeming a bit surprised at the extent of their victory, a few liberal members of Congress were candid enough to admit the American people were shortchanged on New Year's Da....

...Nor were they (even) INTERESTED...obviously...during the arguments AGAINST the Bu$h tax-cut$.
Like "conservatives" have expressed (here), before..."You reap what you sow."
Maybe...in the future...people will think twice about going-to-War...right AFTER allowing tax-cuts for those folks who profit, MO$T, from that/those War(s).

"All consideration of getting the nation's fiscal house in order was kicked down the road, allegedly for later this year."
...Much like what was done, TWO-years-ago, when Republicans insisted upon extending those (temporary) Bu$h tax-cut$.

Hey there Editor-in Chief...you totally left out the fact that the fiscal cliff will magically reappear in March. By that time, our wonderful Congress will have time to move in the heavy equipment to dig a brand new fiscal cliff. Nothing has been settled and it seems as though the public at large has no clue what is going on. When March rolls around, the media will seize one more opportunity to frighten the public yet another time. It's getting old...get these people out of office.

Report: Yankees Hit With $28,000,000 Luxury Tax
NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Yankees have been hit with a $28 million luxury tax bill, pushing their total past the $250 million mark since the penalty began in 2003.
According to Major League Baseball calculations Thursday, the Los Angeles Dodgers are the only team that exceeded the tax threshold this year and must pay $11.4 million. Boston finished just under the tax threshold for the second straight year, coming in $225,666 shy of the $178 million mark.
Figures include average annual values of contracts for players on 40-man rosters, earned bonuses and escalators, adjustments for cash in trades and $10.8 million per team in benefits.
The Yankees finished with the highest regular payroll for the 15th consecutive year, winding up at a record $237,018,889. The Dodgers were just $146,647 behind.
Tom Jones was born and raised in a suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and studied English at the University of South Florida from 1982 to 1986.
He began his writing career with the St. Petersburg Evening Independent in 1985. He then went on to work for the St. Petersburg Times from 1987 to 1991, the Tampa Tribune from 1991 to 1996, the St. Petersburg Times again from 1996 to 2000 and the Minneapolis Star-Tribune from 2000 to 2003. He then rejoined the St. Petersburg Times for a third time in his career in 2003, where he worked ever since.
Jones has spent most of his career covering the NHL, including being a beat writer for more than 15 years of the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Minnesota. Wild. He also spent two years on the Tampa Bay Rays beat. He then become a columnist at Times starting in 2007. Jones has won several national and state writing awards, including a top 10 game story in the nation in 1998 as named by the Associated Press Sports Editors.
Over the course of his career, Jones has covered the Olympics, the World Series, the Super Bowl, the Stanley Cup finals, baseball and hockey all-star games, the NCAA basketball tournament and the Frozen Four.
Jones lives in St. Petersburg with his wife, Patty, and sons, Sam and Andy.
With over two decades of reporting on professional and collegiate sports for the Tampa Bay Times, through performance and work experience in journalism and broadcasting in television and radio, Rick Stroud has cultivated an impressive list of sources and utilized his knowledge to produce an outstanding body of work in both print and electronic mediums.
During his career, Stroud has reported on national sporting events including 22 Super Bowls, the NCAA Final Four, and the Major League Baseball Playoffs. While working as the beat writer assigned to the University of Florida at the Times, Stroud's stories documented NCAA rules violations by the football and basketball programs. The stories for which Stroud won second place for Best Investigative Reporting from the Associated Press Sports Editors, led to sanctions against both Gators programs.
Since 2004, Stroud has appeared as an NFL Insider for ESPN2's First Take and is a regular contributor to ESPN's SportsCenter, NFL Live, Outside the Lines and Herd with Colin Cowherd on ESPN Radio. He also contributes to NFL Network's Total Access.
Stroud becan covering the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the National Football League in 1990. Since then, the Bucs have undergone seven coaching changes, the death of owner Hugh Culverhouse and the sale of the franchise to billionaire owner Malcolm Glazer and a stadium referendum. They also celebrated a Super Bowl XXVII victory. His reporting was referenced in Tony Dungy's best seller, Quiet Strength, particularly because it was Stroud who informed Dungy of the Bucs' plan to replace him with Giants Super Bowl coach Bill Parcells.
A former Div. I-A baseball player at Arkansas , Stroud brings a unique perspective to sports reporting. During the NFL lockout in 2011, he also served as one of the Times' beat writers responsible for covering the Tampa Bay Rays.

Blood stains can be some of the most difficult marks to remove from clothing and upholstery, so it is hardly surprising that if you spot such a stain, your first reaction is likely to be one of panic. If you want to stand any chance of removing the stain, however, then you need to act calmly and quickly, with this simple guide to help you remove blood stains.
Identify the stained material. You may think that you know the composition of your sofa covers or favorite dress, but if you rush headlong into trying to remove the stain, you could make things far worse. Check for the label on clothing or upholstery or check the manufacturer's website for other items if you are unsure. It pays to know what you are cleaning.
Act quickly. This instruction may seem at odds with the first one, but it is worth remembering that the longer you leave the stain, the harder it may be to remove. Treat stains as quickly as possible, attempting to contain any stain or spillage with a dry, clean cloth or simply by holding the item in a way that prevents the blood from running.
Avoid heat. Generally speaking, applying heat to a blood stain serves only to make the stain more difficult to remove. Even if you are using a stain solution (homemade or otherwise), use cold water for the best results. It is also worth remembering this when it comes to drying the garment or upholstery. Avoid electrical dryers and simply allow the item to dry naturally. If there is any remnant of the stain on the item, the heat will bond it harder.
Blot the stain. For garments and washable upholstery, always blot the item with a clean cloth first. This will remove as much of the excess blood as possible. Do not scrub or rub the garment. By blotting, you will lift the blood from the garment, rather than pushing it further into the fibers. Work from the outside of the stain in to prevent it from spreading.
Clean the stain. Many blood stains can be removed with cold water, if the item is soaked. If this does not work, try mixing a saline solution from 1 cup of salt with 2 quarts water and soak for 30 minutes. Failing this, a bar of household soap can be used. Rub some of the soap onto the garment and gently rub the fabric together. A small amount of hydrogen peroxide can be effective if this still doesn't work, particularly on a small area. After any cleaning, always wash the item according to the care instructions.

Amanda Bynes is not getting out of a psychiatric hospital anytime soon, following a judge's decision to allow her held there for two more weeks. At the same time, her parents are now trying to take legal control of the actress's life.
TMZ reports that late Thursday a judge granted an involuntary hold for up to two weeks following a hearing at the hospital where Bynes has been under evaluation since earlier this week.
Meanwhile, Rick, 68, and Lynne Bynes, 66, have filed an application for conservatorship over their daughter, according to multiple reports.
Following the actress's alleged driveway-burning incident outside Los Angeles on Monday – leading to her forced psychiatric hospitalization – it appears her parents finally have the legal grounds to apply for a conservatorship.
"Oftentimes families are placed in a tragic situation where they have to wait for their loved one to hit rock bottom before a conservatorship is justified," explains Terry K. Wasserman, an L.A. attorney who's not involved with the case.
A hearing is reportedly set for Friday morning.
What's needed to win legal control, experts say, is evidence showing a recurring pattern of out-of-control behavior and evidence she's unable to care for her own basic needs.
"The fire incident alone isn't enough, but coupled with her history of bizarre behavior, I wouldn't be surprised if her parents are granted temporary control, pending future hearings," says L.A. attorney Jeffrey S. Cohen, who's also not involved with the case.
It remains to be seen whether her parents are seeking control of both her person and her finances.

"Nuggets: Original Artifacts from the First Psychedelic Era 1965-1968" (Rhino/Elektra). It came out in 1972, and it's been blessedly reissued reasonably often since then – 1976, 1998, now with compiler Lenny Kaye (and fellow traveler of Patti Smith) giving us his newest cogitations on this "story of a transition period in American rock and roll, of a changeling era which dashed by so fast that nobody knew much of what to make of it while it was around."
The British Invasion happened. And Americans woke up and listened. If you think "psychedelic era" denotes the Byrds' "Eight Miles High" or the advent of Pink Floyd, forget it. This is music in the wake of the Beatles full of garage simulations (The Beatle-esque "Lies" by the Knickerbockers from New Jersey, the Dylanesque "A Public Execution" by Mouse – real name Ronny Weiss, the Stonesish "Don't Look Back" by the Remains from Boston, the Yardbirdsian "Psychotic Reaction" by San Jose's Count Five, "Moulty" by the Barbarians long rumored to be an early incarnation of The Band). Yes, Virginia there really were rock groups called Chocolate Watch Band, The Magic Mushrooms and the Thirteenth Floor Elevators even though the music is so often pure AM-radio. It's loaded with rock history – The Blues Magoos version of John Loudermilk's "Tobacco Road," The Leaves' musically tight and vocally loose "Hey Joe" and, yes, "Baby Please Don't Go" by the Amboy Dukes, whose guitarist was the musically glorious and now-politically dreadful Ted Nugent. You want paleolithic Todd Rundgren? Try "Open My Eyes" by the Nazz.
Let's just say it remains great fun and essential to any pop music collection and leave it at that. Always good to have a new incarnation back. Perish the thought of it ever disappearing. Four stars (Jeff Simon)
Scott Healy-Glenn Alexander Quartet, "Northern Light" (Hudson City). An instructional tale: This was recorded unedited in 1991 by Conan O'Brien's pianist Scott Healy, guitarist Glenn Alexander, bassist Kermit Driscoll and drummer Jeff Hirshfield. And then it was promptly forgotten for over two decades until the guitarist brought a cassette (yes, a cassette) of the session to play for his students at Sarah Lawrence College "and they sort of went nuts on it." So he wrote to Healy "We did this thing 20 years ago but it really held up," whereupon Healy listened and agreed, saying "I don't know if I can play that well now." Imagine when Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays were at their freest and most intuitive together and you'll have an idea of what this sounds like – and why it's always a good idea to revisit things you've forgotten about for 20 years. Three stars (J.S.)
The Clayton Brothers with Wycliffe Gordon and Stefon Harris, "The Gathering" (ArtistShare). Spirit they've got. If you listen to the ensemble playing of the openers "Friday Struttin' " and "Tsunami" – not to mention the jagged accompaniment to some of the soloists – you wonder whether the tunes are a tiny bit of an overreach for the musicians involved or whether there just wasn't enough rehearsal time to make everything optimal. On the other hand, there's enough zest in this bunch to keep the disc more or less on track even when the sound of the ensembles (and I don't mean just the intentional second intervals either) is a good deal less than ideal. Alto saxophonist Jeff Clayton at his best sounds sometimes like the middle distance between Cannonball Adderly and Eric Dolphy.
And it's hard not to feel affection for guys who will play a tune like "This Ain't Nothin' But a Party" deliberately based on an Eddie Harris/Les McCann groove – especially when they've got friends like Wycliffe Gordon on it. ∆∆ (J.S.)
Brahms Quintets Op.34 and Op. 115 performed by the Tokyo String Quartet with pianist Jon Nakamatsu and clarinetist Jon Manasse (Harmonia Mundi); Gabriel Faure, Quintets with Piano Op.89 and 115 performed by Eric LeSage and Quatour Ebene (Alpha). Romanticism German and French style played by ensembles of uncommon dedication. Decidedly the lesser in terms of performance is, oddly, the Tokyo String Quartet with guest pianist and clarinetist respectively in Brahms' Quintets from 1864 and 1891. The playing is adequate, certainly, but not first-rate as it ought to demand. Sublime in both music in performance, on the other hand, is pianist Eric LeSage and the Quatour Ebene of Faure's Piano Quintets from 1906 and 1921. Only 15 years separate the two Faure quintets (where almost 30 separate the Brahms piano and clarinet quintets) but the performance gulf between the renowned Tokyo Quartet and the lesser known Quatour Ebene is substantial. Three stars) for Brahms, four stars for Faure. (J.S.)
Benjamin Britten, "A Ceremony of Carols," St. Nicolas, the Choir of Trinity College Cambridge, the Holst Singers, the City of London Sinfonia, Stephen Layton, conductor (Hyperion). The Ceremony of Carols is a known treasure – you have probably heard at least pieces of it. Here it is sung by a boys' choir, though Britten originally intended the songs for girls. It's enchanting, particularly the lullaby "Balulalow" and the bouncy "Wolcum Yole!," so evocative of medieval tradition. It's nice, too, how it is framed by Gregorian chant. "St. Nicolas," a cantata about the patron saint of children, is more self-conscious – pretentious, I want to say.
It's hard to follow "A Ceremony of Carols." But it has its moments of sweetness. "The Birth of Nicolas," set to an oom-pah-pah waltz beat, is a delight with its changing colors. In the song, you hear Nicolas grow up. The 50-minute work is a showcase for Britten's creativity. There is imaginative, sometimes jazzy use of piano and piano duet, and hale choruses that can make you think of his operas. Three stars. (M.K.G.)
Bach, Brandenburg Concertos, Oregon Bach Festival Chamber Orchestra, Helmuth Rilling, conductor (Hanssler Classic, two discs). There is nothing like when you can get Bach really rocking, the strings and flutes churning like a locomotive, the harpsichord acting as percussion. Without doing anything special, this orchestra and conductor get it right. The music's light and good-humored and does not sound overly thought-out as a lot of latter-day Baroque performances do. It's all very merry and bright. If I understand the label right, this was released earlier, in 1994. It's worth enjoying all over again. Four stars (Mary Kunz Goldman)

As the largest full moon of the year slowly climbed up the sky behind the batter's eye at Melching Field, the Stetson Hatters saw their bats find some life on Saturday night to take a 6-3 victory over USC Upstate.
The win gives Stetson (30-16, 12-8) a chance to take the weekend series from the league-leading Spartans (31-14, 14-6) in Sunday's series finale, which is set for a 1 p.m. start.
The Hatters got a solid performance from senior starting pitcher Lindsey Caughel (6-2), who scattered seven hits over six innings while allowing three runs. He walked two and struck out five.
"It was very important to get one from these guys because they have been playing so well this year," Caughel said. "They are the most improved team in the conference, by far. They have a great approach at the plate."
Offensively, Stetson used a small-ball attack similar to the one the Spartans used on Friday, bunting and putting pressure on the Upstate defense. The result was three errors by the Spartans, which led to three unearned runs for the Hatters.
"We just wanted to put pressure on them by having good at bats and we did that," shortstop Mark Jones said. "Caughel threw a good game for us and we were able to make some good defensive plays behind him. It was a complete game."
Both teams scored twice in the third inning, with Upstate's runs coming on a single by Luke Weber and Stetson's coming on run-scoring hits by Sam Kimmel and Jones off Spartans' starting pitcher Scott DeCecco (5-2).
Just as the moon started to become visible in center, the Hatters put together a three-run fifth. Jones drove in a pair with his second hit of the game and then Kurt Schluter plated another with a run scoring ground ball.
Upstate scored its only other run in the sixth on back-to-back hits from Greg Guers and Tyler Cook and the Spartans threatened in every subsequent inning. The Stetson bull pen was up to the challenge, however, stranding a total of seven Upstate runners, six in scoring position, over the last three frames.
"They have a very good two-strike approach and were fouling off some sliders that I thought were good pitches," Caughel said. "They were tough hitters. I have to realize that I can't give in when hitters are pesky like that. You have to keep your composure and keep to your game plan. They are pesky, but you have to make quality pitches."
Hatters closer Robbie Powell earned his 14th save of the year despite allowing two hits and two walks over just 1.1 innings. He loaded the bases in the ninth before getting Cook to chase a 3-2 pitch out of the strike zone to end the game.
Hatters assistant head coach Mark Leavitt, who is filling in for head coach Pete Dunn this weekend, said getting the win on Saturday was big.
"I think this win was huge," Leavitt said. "USC Upstate has a really good team and they do things the right way. To be in a position to take two of three is huge.
"I think Lindsey Caughel set the tone by battling and giving us six solid innings. He didn't have his best stuff, but he battled through. The pen did a great job for us. We played a little small ball tonight and the kids did a great job."
Kimmel, Jones and Spencer Theisen had two hits each to lead Stetson while Gaither Bumgardner, who was hitless on Friday night, bounced back with four hits for the Spartans while Cook added two.
Jones, who drove in three of the six Stetson runs, said the win on Saturday could set the tone for the rest of the conference season.
"That was a huge win," Jones said. "Those guys can really play and they have come a long way since I have been here. They are really good on the mound and their guys are really good at the plate. They made us earn this one. Tomorrow we have to come out the same way and try to scratch out a win in any way that we can."
Stetson will send senior right-hander Will Dorsey (6-3, 2.96) to the mound for Sunday's 1 p.m. start. Dorsey is a perfect 4-0 in A-Sun play this year and gives the rest of the Hatters a lot of confidence when he pitches.
"We need this game tomorrow because those guys are in first place," Jones said. "If we could take two of three from them, it was be good. We have Will going out there and he has been throwing the ball really well. We have confidence in all of our pitchers, but especially with the way Will has been pitching. I am sure he is going to go out and give us everything he has. We have to play defense and put some runs up there and we will be OK."

Guerrilla Air 12 Ounce CO2 Tank
For use in paintball, a CO2 tank is fairly simple, consisting of an aluminum cylinder and a pin valve (usually brass). The pin valve depresses when you screw the CO2 tank in to your paintball gun, allowing a free flow of unregulated CO2 into the gun (usually about 800psi). Many guns use a simple valve system to control the gas flow and fire paintballs, but more and more, paintball guns are being sold with regulators, to better control the consistency and pressure level of the gas inside the marker. These CO2 tanks have several safety features, as well.

Arkansas lawmakers have hatched a plan to market the home of Tyson Foods Inc. by declaring it the "Poultry Capital of the World."
The Senate on Thursday unanimously approved a bill that would give Springdale the new title. The name would be written into a section of state law that names Arkansas' official flower, motto and bird, among other matters.
The town of Cotter is named "Trout Capital of the U.S.A." in that section.
Republican Sen. Jon Woods of Springdale said a city council member had approached him about the idea as a way to market the northwest Arkansas city.
Woods says the proposal does not require any state funding
The bill now heads to the state House for consideration.

The 10 Most Depressingly Unfunny Gag Gifts
It's Christmas again, and that means it's time to stock up on food dehydrators and VHS copies of the Jean-Claude Van Damme opus Double Impact to give away as gifts to those you hold dear. And for your enemies? Oh, there will be special packages under the tree for them. Special packages that bear the slightest hint of peppermint and bile.
For years, one kind of gift has thrived in the dark corners of Christmasland amid the rancid cast-away cartons of eggnog and the semen-encrusted stockings of back alley elves -- gag gifts. The terrible irony of the gag gift is that it's a joke present that is somehow never funny. In fact, next to a genuinely funny gift, neither will elicit a laugh. Gag gifts are suck gifts. They suck the funny from a room as sure as a porn star will suck a suckable something. I can't be more specific, I've never gotten the parental locks off of my TV.
In the sea of gag gifts, some stand head and shoulders above others as the lamest of the lame, the worst of the worst. I put them in a list, because I love you. I have nowhere to go this Christmas. Please take me in.
#10. Fake Pregnancy Test
What's funnier than becoming a parent? Being tricked into thinking you've become a parent when in reality you've done nothing! Har! Presumably designed by the Maury Povich Laughy Time Smile Corporation, these fake pregnancy tests look like the real deal and even come in legit boxes designed to look like real tests. The gag is that they all come out positive. Oh man, good one! Remember how you always wanted a family? Well start thinking of baby names, Daddy. Maybe a good name would be Miles O'Bullshit, because your baby isn't real!
The target market for this gift is likely the sassy woman with no soul who likes to crush the hopes and dreams of her significant other, or just any abomination with a uterus. So Ann Coulter, basically.
#9. Toilet Turd
If you were to Google "gag gifts" right now, you'd discover fairly quickly that large percentages are made by fecalphiliacs. Gag gift makers love poop and spend hours in their dimly lit subterranean gag chambers producing all manner of shit merchandise, which I like to think they call mershitdise or merchandukes. Or maybe they just call it shit. I'd never speak to one of these people to find out.
The toilet turd is a fake poop that goes on a toilet seat so that when someone enters the bathroom next they'll be shocked and hilarified to discover that someone shat on the seat. In point of fact, I have gone into a bathroom in which someone has shat on the seat, and I didn't find it funny. It's more perplexing than anything else, because if the toilet is literally right there, why not shit in it? Why shit on the seat? Recreating this mind-boggling event is not funny. Plus you just end up with a fake turd you have to wash because you put it on the toilet seat.
#8. I Heart Farting Mug
What the fuck? This is one of those jokes that can only dare dream to work if you and everyone who has mastered literacy refuse to hold a thought in your head for more than the ephemeral instant in which recognition of the words being read sets in. Because if you for even a brief second ponder a statement like this, you'll make that face you make when someone actually does fart as you try to figure out who or why anyone would ever say this. Do you really love farting? Do you have chronic gas issues and you need to expel that gas to alleviate stomach pains? I'm very sorry to hear that. Why is it on your mug? It sounds most questionable. It makes me suspect that your home computer's keys are veritably caked with spooge and toaster strudel frosting. Please keep your awfulness to yourself.
#7. Yodeling Pickle
I honestly don't need to write this entry beyond the name of it, because look. Just reread it. That such a thing should exist is a great disservice to our species because it means that someone, somewhere, was struck with what they assumed was inspiration, but which the rest of us will recognize as fever dreams or diphtheria symptoms, and made an electronic pickle that yodels. They then presented this idea to others and enough people backed it that it became an item mass-produced and marketed. This is how cults and oppressive, totalitarian regimes get started -- when no one is willing to stop madness before it gets out of control.
To whom does this appeal? Yodelers or pickle aficionados? Even those people who enjoy musical brine-cured vegetation could only mildly enjoy this. Have you ever met anyone with a musical novelty gift in their home who routinely enjoyed the gift? Do you know people who queue up their Big Mouth Billy Bass at parties? Those people are refuse. They're bad in the soul. Eliminate them.
#6. Fake Lottery Tickets
The fake lottery ticket is the ultimate gift for someone you only pretend to like but whose disappointment really kind of gives you a bit of a boner (for you ladies, a lady boner). Each scratch-off ticket is a winner, convincing your poor sap of a target that they are now excessively wealthy. Except of course they're not, so you just gifted them with brief joy and then crushing loss as their hopes of financial independence and security are dashed on the black, jagged rocks of your dead, decrepit heart.

For those who haven't seen it and would like to...
The biggest overall complaint seemed to be my music selection the first time around but I think this time I'll have much more suitable (and epic) music.. since I'm already pretty set on music, I don't think I'll be taking any recommendations, sorry.
If there are any highlights you would specifically like to see (that aren't in the 1st one) then let me know. More then half the video is going to focus on the Cup run last year and Zetterberg winning the Conn Smythe.
Since this is my first time posting here, I'm sorry if I formatted the video incorrectly or posted this in the wrong forum.

Settle into the present moment. Deep, calm, resonant tones distinguish these finest quality Japanese gongs from all others. Known as "calm" gongs by the Japanese, they resonate at a slow frequency, recognized to have a centering effect upon the listener. The timbre or tone quality is rich, sonorous, and settled. Made in Japan of brass and other metals. Each gong comes with a silk brocade cushion and leather striker, and is stamped with the Kanji character, "touchi", meaning hand hammered.

It seems that Maggie Smith and I have something in common. Dame Maggie has never seen "Downton Abbey," either. Not a single episode, as the glorious 78-year-old actress told Steve Kroft on Sunday night in a wonderfully thorny interview on "60 Minutes." Over here across the pond, they keep pitching award statues at her for the show (which she never shows up to receive), but apparently that's not enough to convince her to sit down and watch the bloody thing.
Her problem, she told Kroft, is that if she watches, she's sure to pick apart her own performances – "Why on earth did I do that?" etc. I'd be willing to bet that, in hindsight, the performances of others might not necessarily thrill her, either.
"Downton Abbey" – an authentic hit on PBS – closed its third season Sunday night with what seems, so far, to be a shocking death in an auto accident well-mourned by the show's devoted audience – Matthew Crawley played by actor Dan Stevens. One of my colleagues knew it was coming because the British press was full of complaints about it all during the Christmas holidays, when it ran there. To the Brit faithful, it ruined their entire Christmas.
Let me admit that I'm even less proud of never seeing a whole show all the way through than Dame Maggie is. I have a relationship to the show that, quite frankly, seems odd even to me.
I am, for one thing, surrounded by the show's fans. It seems that three-quarters of the people I work with watch the thing, even those who wouldn't seem at all likely. In fact, it seems that many of my favorite people in the world are hooked on it.
Even though I don't watch it, I find myself strangely happy thinking about how large and devoted the "Downton Abbey" claque has become. As authentic TV phenomena go, I'll take a groundswell for "Downton Abbey" any day over one for "The Walking Dead" (another cult hit I don't watch).
So why, then, am I not among those on Monday mornings who are eager to rehash Abbey doings over coffee, the water cooler or whatever?
It's a carryover from a largely humorless earlier "Masterpiece Theater" smash that I came to actively dislike – "Upstairs, Downstairs," one of the few television points of major spousal disagreement that I had during the time the show was first seen.
It always seemed to me that I was asked to be nostalgic about a British class system that I never experienced in the first place. Every time I watched, I found the servility to be choking. So many members of the show's servant class seemed convinced of the rectitude of their "station" in life that as a barbarous American of good standing, I found myself reacting badly. In a world where the remote control gives us all the ultimate power over a show's life and death, I tend to use it vigorously when asked to applaud the point where servility – no matter how clever – and thoughtless privilege meet.
An extreme and hideous case of the kind of thing I'm talking about is the moment in "Gone With the Wind" – which purports to tell about a life of chivalry and "grace" in the Old South – when all the beautiful Southern debutantes have doffed their dresses and are in their bloomers having a nap during the oppressive afternoon heat of life on the plantation. As they do so, the poor little overheated dears are fanned with giant feathered fans by their sweating black female slaves.
This is not presented to us as Mel Brooksian comedy. Nor is it presented to us as a comprehensible reason later for someone to burn the plantation down. All this is presented to us as a tableau from the "graceful" life of white aristos in the Old South.
"Graceful" for whom? The rich sleeping brats? Or the sweating slaves cooling off the little dears?
So help me, it was a moment that disturbed me deeply the first time I saw the film as a pubescent boy in another century. As much as I like the film – Clark Gable, especially and that extraordinary crane shot by cinematographer Lee Garmes of the wounded bodies in the Atlanta railway station – I never had any trouble seeing Gen. Sherman's point later on, which is not exactly the proper spirit at all in which to be watching "Gone With the Wind."
"Upstairs, Downstairs," of course, never presented such a thorny problem. but it was always a world I was delighted to dial out of existence, no matter what I may have thought about so many of the show's fans.
"Downton Abbey," of course, seems to present a different spin on an "Upstairs, Downstairs" world. When you have Maggie Smith playing the grand resident dowager, you've put naked class snobbery into the hands of one of the consummate comic actresses of our era, a woman who can put a hilariously wicked sting into any passing barb or gag a good writer can give her. And "Downton Abbey" creator Julian Fellowes proved how good a writer he is with Robert Altman's "Gosford Park" (which also had a part for Dame Maggie).
You have to love a TV period that is so in love with 78-year-old Maggie Smith and 91-year-old Betty White, two grande dames whose comic mastery is a thing of beauty to watch, even in dreadful circumstances. (And Betty, bless her, seems eager to prove that. But then so heartening is her full employment at her age that we tend to forgive her anything, and I do mean anything.)
A TV show with Maggie Smith and Elizabeth McGovern created by Julian Fellowes has me in its corner sight unseen. I have every confidence that if the time ever comes that I've got the leisure to do so, I'll dispense with my own kneejerk snobberies and sit down with a few seasons' worth of "Downton Abbey" and do what both Dame Maggie and I seem to have avoided thus far – watch one of the most popular shows on 21st century television.
In the meantime, let me recommend for those who equate her now with dowager snobbery my all-time favorite Maggie Smith comedy – "A Private Function", a hilarious comedy of life on the farm written by "Beyond the Fringe's" Alan Bennett in which the old girl is practically up to her clavicles in pig dung with Michael Palin.
No one on film, so help me, has ever been funnier under analogously ignominious circumstances.
FROM THE SUBLIME TO … Channel 2 has given local comic Rob Lederman his own show at 11:30 p.m. Sundays called "Late Night in the Buff." Lederman is the 97 Rock mainstay with Larry Norton and the comedy club entrepreneur at Rob's Comedy Playhouse, which is on North Forest Road.
The show kicked off by trying to get laughs out of ripping off Johnny Carson's old "Carnac" bit (which was itself a ripoff of Steve Allen's brilliant "Answer Man" bits) and wearing SpiderMan underpants in a tanning booth.
I can't say the show made me laugh even once, but Lederman, as always, seemed cheerful enough with all his self-deprecating expectations of immediate cancellation. I don't know how many of the actual shows I'll return to watch, but I do know I'll certainly watch it again before 12 episodes are up to see how he figures it all out.
I wouldn't recommend to him barnyard droppings for laughs, though. Maggie Smith and "Monty Python's" Michael Palin did that for all time.

It was a perfect happy ending for the New Jersey couple, who were first brought together in the fall of 2009 while grieving the deaths of their spouses.
"To be married again – it's a great feeling," the newlywed, 31, tells PEOPLE. "And we got an awesome wedding video."
With Martina McBride and Train singer Pat Monahan serenading the couple with a duet to "Marry Me," the couple became husband and wife with a simple wish in the backs of their minds. "I hope I do not drop the ring," she recalls.
This song, however, has special significance for the couple, captured in Tucci's favorite song lyric: "I promise to sing to you when all the music dies."
"Even though our [late] spouses aren't here," Davidson says, "we'll always love and honor them." (Davidson's husband drowned on a canoeing trip; Tucci's wife died of thyroid cancer.)
Their VowsThere were tears in Davidson's eyes as the couple exchanged their vows – which were only partially televised – and tuned out the realization that all eyes were on them – including those of ACM winners Miranda Lambert and Taylor Swift, who shared the same dressing room as the couple.
"Promise to never leave her," the minister told Tucci, 34, he recalls. Says Davidson, "That sentence really hit me. I take my vows seriously. I hope Frank and I have a very long and happy life."
Next up: Their honeymoon, courtesy of Sandals, some time in the future, Davidson says.
But for now, she says she's happy their "story really gave hope to people." When she met Tucci, "it was like a firework went off, and it became love," she says. "True love."

With an estimated $150 million budget and Natalie Portman and Anthony Hopkins starring, Thor is pretty much the definition of a summer blockbuster. So when Illustration alumnus David Breaux (CCAD 1994) sent us the classnote, "Last year I completed animation work on three films--Iron Man 2, Tron Legacy, and Real Steel. And I'm currently finishing up work on Thor feature film," we had a few follow up questions.
Q.) What scared you most while you were at CCAD?
A.) Oversleeping for class. Seriously!
Q.) How long after graduation did it take you to find work in your field? What did you do to get it?
A.) It took me a while, but I left Columbus after graduation and moved back home (that may have hurt me a bit). But I did have some freelance gigs along the way.
Q.) Was there a smooth path from where you started in your field to where you are now? What helped you most along the way?
A.) Smooth? No Way. I ended up working as a sculptor for a bit, then illustrating for a textbook company, then moved into games, then commercials, then finally film. And I am still bouncing around between films, commercials, and game work. It's all animation, but they're somewhat different beasts.
Q.) Do you have a single piece of advice for today's CCAD students?
A.) If you're a commercial artist—network, network, network. Be a content creator, not just a soldier in the trenches. All the commercial artists I know out here are pitching their ideas—be it films, comic books, tv shows, etc. Everyone wants to be the creator/owner.
Q.) Do you remember a single point in your career that made you sit back and say, "This is why I do what I do."
A.) It was amazing to see my name up on the big screen in a film, amongst the hundreds of other artists and technicians. But more often than not, I'll be driving to or from the studio and it'll hit me. I actually made it. It's not easy, but somehow I made it and I'm actually here doing it.
Q.) Why was it great to be a student at CCAD in the '90s?
A.) CCAD seemed to be at a turning point. It was changing from what it was and beginning its expansion into the future. The Disney Internships were great to try out for. I never got accepted, but it was still fun to shoot for it.
Q.) Finish the sentence. The best class at CCAD was…
A.) Easily Mark Hazlerig's 3D Illustration classes
Q.) My fondest CCAD memory is…
A.) A moment Mr. Hazlerig chewed me out for slacking (along with the rest of the class) then told me he thought I could do anything I put my mind to.
Breaux is the senior character animator for and owner of Silicon Riot. He has contributed his animation talents to films Speed Racer; Outlander; Night at the Museum; Garfield and Garfield 2; The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe; and Elektra as well as to a slew of video games, music videos, and commercials. Learn more on his website. Or visit his official IMDB profile.
Thor opens Friday, May 6, at theaters nationwide.

quote: SMT (let's call it by it's proper name) will help a great deal. This CPU has 4 execution units that need to be kept fed. SMT will do a great deal to keep those units running
quote: 2. You have just proven MY point...Conroe has 4 ALUs! The fewer execution units you have, the more important it is that each is more efficient. Conroe has double the execution units of Netburst, which means that the stalled ALU will not effect the work done to anywhere near the degree that it would on the Netburst architecture. Athlon has 3 execution units, and SMT was found to be more of a hindrance than a help on the Athlon architecture...imagine what the effect would be on 4.

Dusty Baker—Doing It for the Kids
According to the Cincinnati Enquirer, Dusty Baker may juggle the Red Legs' pitching rotation heading into next week's visit to Wrigley Field.
The Reds have an off-day Monday, which would normally cause them to skip fifth starter Josh Fogg's turn. But Baker is considering having Fogg take his turn Wednesay, following Aaron Harang on Tuesday, which would have the effect of giving Baker's two young, stud pitchers--Edinson Volquez and Johnny Cueto--an extra day's rest.
"We might try to reconfigure to do that," Baker said. "It's not going
to hurt Cueto and Volquez to lighten their load early to keep them
strong late. They're going to be making 10, 11 more starts minimum -
more if we get to the playoffs - than they've ever thrown."
(Insert your own ironic interpretation here.)

On a completely unrelated note, is it wrong for me to be amused by this?
"Tampa Police arrested Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Al Reyes early this morning, saying the reliever was drunk and disruptive after falling down, picking a fight and spitting blood at the patrons of a popular Hyde Park night spot...the officer tased Reyes, knocking him to the bar floor. Ignoring police commands to stay down, authorities said Reyes got up and was Tased a second time."

Deeds - PTBN from Twins
Sorry if 3/44, but the Twins sent over Doug Deeds as the PTBN in the Monroe trade.
.291 career hitter who hit .243 last season in AAA.
So much for getting Lahey back in return.
Re: Deeds - PTBN from Twins
The best part of that link is the first comment, from a Twins fan:
"cant we just give them monroe back?"
Re: Deeds - PTBN from Twins
And another Twinkie fan gives a makeshift scouting report on Mr. Deeds...
"Anyway, I liked Deeds. He had a very good 2005 season at AA and then had to repeat the level. He does a little of everything without doing anything great. Hits for OK average, with decent on-base skills and some power. Plays a couple of positions (RF/1B) adequately. This is fair return for the PTBNL."
Re: Deeds - PTBN from Twins
Does anybody else think the Cubs lost a lot of value in getting mediocre-to-awful players last year?
Michael Barrett to SD for Rob Bowen
Rob Bowen and Blevins to Oakland for Kendall
Scott Moore and Rocky Cherry to Baltimore for Steve Trachsel
Clay Rapada (PTBNL) to Detroit for Craig Monroe
Getting Lahey back for Monroe would've been nice to offset some of that young talent we lost.
Rapada and Blevins both appear to be better lefty relievers than we have in the system right now, Scott Moore would've been nice depth waiting in AAA or could've been packaged for something valuable, and Rob Bowen turned out to be a lot better than he played while in Chicago.
While Bowen put up a .065/.097/.167 line for the Cubs in 31 ABs, he went on to Oakland to hit .279/.415/.442. While with the Padres he had hit .268/.371/.439. Meanwhile, Kendall hit .270/.362/.356 for the Cubs while playing comparable defense (not bad, actually). However, a combination of Bowen and Soto for in the time that Kendall was playing would've likely proved MUCH more productive than Kendall and wouldn't have required us to pay much salary or to give up Blevins.
What about Monroe? He hit .204/.291/.347 in 49 ABs for the Cubs. I don't care what side of the plate you bat from, that is terrible, and it's nothing that Pie and Fuld couldn't have done while also playing significantly better defense. We gave up Clay Rapada for that?
Moving on to Trachsel. In 4 total games with the Cubs, Trachsel won one game and lost three while posting an ERA of 8.31. He took Marshall's rotation spot, who had half the ERA. In fact, I'd be willing to bet Cherry could've posted an ERA under 8 in 4 starts. Meanwhile, Moore is providing left-handed pop off the bench for the Orioles and has played three infield positions. The guy doesn't have a ton of value, and neither does Cherry, but Trachsel appears to me actually have had negative value.
Oh, and Trachsel and Monroe failed to make the playoff roster while Kendall was pushed into a backup role.
Last season's in-season trades were not very good, and it looks to me like the reveal a GM who really undervalues his own young players.
By the way, Doug Deeds is an outfielder/first baseman who will turn 26 this June. He's a lefty hitter who has never hit more than 16 homeruns and isn't much of a base stealer. Why didn't Hendry at least hold out until he knew whether the Twins will even get Lahey back?
Re: Deeds - PTBN from Twins
Kendall hit .270/.362/.356 for the Cubs while playing comparable defense (not bad, actually).
Haha... since when did Kendall play "not bad" defense?
Re: Deeds - PTBN from Twins
I meant "not bad" in reference to the offensive numbers. Nice catch though (no pun intended?). His defense was actually equally as bad as Bowen's and probably as bad as Barrett's.
Re: Deeds - PTBN from Twins
Don't forget Paul Bako is tearing up the league also.
Re: Deeds - PTBN from Twins
Maybe Rapada and/or Blevins turn out to be decent LOOGY's, but overall, the guys we gave up were spare parts, at best, with the exception of Barrett, who had deteriorated here to the point he had to be dumped for anything.
Moore and Cherry aren't likely to be anything special.
As for adding Trachsel and Monroe, I wasn't thrilled with the moves but I understand what Hendry was trying to do, add experienced vets for the stretch drive. Sure, in hindsight Pie or Fuld could have put up Monroe's miserable numbers, but Monroe hit 28 hr and 92 rbi the year before, something Pie or Fuld will never do.
Re: Deeds - PTBN from Twins
I don't think we lost anthing at all. And hindsight is 20/20. Monroe could have went on a roll like Randall Simon did a few years ago, you just never know. But you can't get a spark to put you over the top if you don't try.
Re: Deeds - PTBN from Twins
We did win the division last year, right? Just checking...
Kendall had one great month for us and when he struggled again in Sept he got benched. Monroe for Rapada? Rapada can't even crack the Tigers awful bullpen right now. Moore, Renshaw and Cherry for Trax? Yeah, that was dumb, but once again, no one we'll ever miss.
None of the talent we gave up was crucial or will ever be...
I would think that Lahey was never part of the Monroe discussion or something is happening in the waiver process that we don't know about yet. I believe the deal had to be completed by Opening Day or close to it. Vaguely recall reading that...
Re: Deeds - PTBN from Twins
Not that this validates my point of view at all, but, coincidentally, the Tigers just recalled Rapada from AAA.
Re: Deeds - PTBN from Twins
So, it's just me.
Re: Deeds - PTBN from Twins
When you trade away crap, you're going to get crap back.
Barrett was damaged goods, and Bowen was a short term band-aid. Kendall at least was a plausable starting catcher, and if he played in Chicago last year like he is playing in Milwaukee so far this year this would be a very different conversation.
And don't forget, the Cubs also got a First Round draft pick out of that deal.
Monroe was a gamble to have a little extra pop off the bench during a playoff chase and have a righty who could play CF - much like the role that Reed Johnson is playing. The cost was a marginal pitching prospect. Getting anyone back in a second trade was just an extra.
The Trachsel move was just kind of stupid, but more because it moved Marshall out of the rotation than because a couple of very marginal players were lost.
Re: Dusty Baker—Doing It for the Kids
They're going to be making 10, 11 more starts minimum - more if we get to the playoffs - than they've ever thrown
er, Dusty,
Cueto made 28 starts last year, Volquez made 29
Their arms are gonna fall off!!
Re: Dusty Baker—Doing It for the Kids
Dusty doesn't believe in looking at numbers, especially not before speaking to the press. I'm not sure if that's not old-school enough for him or if it is too small ball...
Re: Dusty Baker—Doing It for the Kids
Did Dusty have Darren sitting in his lap for protection, as he did for press conferences after particularly ugly Cubs games?
Yanks/BoSox rivalry
Doesn't particularly affect us, but this story is funny...
Re: Yanks/BoSox rivalry
I'm not particularly versed in voodoo ritualism, but wouldn't it be more effective to enshrine the shirt in the foundation of the Yankee's clubhouse?
Ominous forecast
still 50-60% chance of showers and T-storms tonight...
With an off-day Monday wouldn't hurt out starting staff much if we had to play a double-header this weekend.
Re: Ominous forecast
with all the innings our pen has had to put in due to the extra innings games, a double header is exactly what the Cubs DON'T need.
Re: Ominous forecast
they didn't go through too many yesterday and they'd get Friday and Monday off...doesn't seem too worrisome to me.

Re: Dusty Baker—Doing It for the Kids
That makes sense - same sensibility. I was wondering about "30 Rock" as well - maybe "Family Guy?"
So when are we planning on realizing that Marquis stinks and Leiber is a far better option as a starter...I know we have won so far this year...but our starting pitching looks like its going to be our weak link.

Bubble wrap the Cubs
that's not important.
the important thing is the cubs seem to have a new defensive whizz at 2nd base according to the stats...sample size warning and all that...but i have faith in him.
imagine him having to do this 20 times a season. 6.2 innings played, 20 assists, DEFENSE GOLD!
That little switcheroo with Zobrist and Rizzo cost me 2 points in the predictions game--damn it.
We'll always have 1985. Nothing else, but we'll always have that.
Nationals 2B Daniel Murphy likely to miss rest of regular season
RVIMPENY: It's raining today so the Cubs will probably play intrasquad game(s) tomorrow and/or Saturday, but it's pretty much a day-to-day proposition, and a lot of times it's decided at the last minute.
Best bet is to check in at Riverview in the morning and ask somebody what's going on that day.
Thanks Phil, I had the Salt River chart, but based on that, it looks like they hardly play and was not on the Surprise on 9/28...I assume they do not really want fans there anyway? Do you know if they play today, Friday or Sat? Sorry to be a pain, but I am only here until Sunday.

Bear fans are so impatient! They signed that great All-American QB out of Columbia--Luckman--just a little while ago, didn't they? Now it's the Eagles' turn. After all, it's been almost ten years since McNabb.
" . . . when he signed Edwin Jackson?"
He makes a lot of moves, people remember the ones that pan out. Kind of like MJ's approach to shooting. When it all shakes out, you get a formidable 25-man roster.
For the rookie hazing "dress up" day, the Mariners made him dress like the Farley Chippendales dancer.
Steven Matz to undergo "imminent" elbow surgery.
Just scroll by.
