There's A Dark Cloud Rising From The Desert Floor
I got my bags and I'm headed straight into the storm. It's a Springsteen quote. You can look it up if you didn't catch it. I was about to write the post-draft installment of JIC when I started getting texts about Junior on Wednesday. Keep in mind that here in New York, I'm the first person that most people think to call when something involving the Chargers happens. It would probably be that way regardless. But friends that work on Wall Street seem to get the most up to date news via their ticker which I assume is why those were the people who got in touch with me first. It was the same way when Jerry Garcia died in 1995. Nonetheless, I wasn't entirely surprised to hear that Junior Seau had died. I've written a few times how Burt Grossman got in touch with me in 2002 and mentioned that he thought my writing was pretty funny and that Junior read JIC as well. Obviously, I didn't believe it was really Burt Grossman at first. I didn't even know that he was still friends with Junior after going from the Bolts to the Eagles. Anyway, I was given the chance to talk to Junior on his actual birthday, January 19. This was 2003, as the Traitors were in the process of beating Tennessee and going to the Super Bowl at Qualcomm Stadium. I was very psyched to hear that our best player also "hated the fuckin' Raiders," as I did. Anyway, we all knew that Junior gave his all on the field and was extremely generous with his time and money off it. He had his demons, which was no secret. I don't mean to bring that up to sully his memory in any way. I just wonder if the difficulty in reconciling the on field image and off field flaws ever weighed him down. The 2010 legal imbroglio and subsequent car crash gave me the impression that he was having more than just a little trouble. When he was inducted into the Chargers Ring of Honor, people wondered if Dean Spanos would have the balls to take the mic. Appropriately, it was the same day that Norv Turner proved beyond a shadow of a doubt why he'll never coach a champion. But when Junior responded to all this by chanting "SPANOS! SPANOS!" it might have also been an idication that he was behaving more than just a little erratically. Of course, this is all in retrospect. Now that a few days have passed, I am more shocked that Junior knowingly took his own life. After his 2010 legal imbroglio and subsequent car crash the idea that he'd be gone wasn't entirely unthinkable. But the fact that things were so tough for him that he chose to go, that's whats unfathomable.
Our good friend Jenn sent me this e-mail today which gave me the kick in the ass to get in front of a keyboard:Hi Ross - I'm still reeling. Thought that I would check in and see how you're doing? Devastated doesn't even cover it. I spent the day watching old VHS tapes that I dug out of the back of the hall closet. Most from 1994 and 1995. Game after game, interview after interview. It's like my life is on hold at the moment and I don't know how to move forward or breathe. And then I will have really off thoughts like - that piece of shit, waste of space Ryan Leaf who has never done anything for this world is still here and Junior is gone. Naturally, I feel like a horrible human being afterward. I just don't know how to cope. I still have the picture he autographed for my Grandma when he found out she was struggling to complete her chemo and radiation treatments. "Keep fighting - stay strong. Love, June" She carried it back and forth from the bedroom to the living room couch. When her neuropathy got so bad in her fingers that she couldn't hold it, my Grandpa had to carry it back and forth. God help him if he forgot it.
I think that's what drove all of his charity work - he kept trying to make up for his behavior. That drive off the cliff should have been his rock bottom but there were way too many enablers around him that kept it from being so. I don't think he felt that he ever measured up to the picture his mother had of him. It's just sad. Two comments have stood out to me, but I can't remember who said each one. I want to say it was Marcellus Wiley who said that he was talking about playing football again next season. And then I can't remember who said that Junior told them last week "I'm nothing now." He was struggling without the sport that brought him so much. Which is odd to me since his last seasons didn't bring him much play time. He wasn't even starting. Still chasing that ring? Who knows. It will be interesting to see what his brain yields, but I'm not thinking that had anything to do with his suicide. He didn't complain of headaches. His behavior wasn't any more bizarre off the field than it had been when he was playing. To me, I don't think those signs were there.
I'm glad you're doing a draft analysis as well. We did better than I expected with no moving up to grab odd players that would be there two rounds later. I feel better about this draft than I have the past few. As good as I can feel with Norv still coaching the team, anyway. Doesn't mean I'm excited for the season, though.
Anyway, I figured I should check and see how you're doing. I keep pulling up Justice to see if you've done a post yet without really expecting one because I'm sure this has really thrown you.
Of course, it's well documented that this is the 8th player from the '94 team to pass away. I'm not a huge fan of Deadspin, but I can't disagree with their headline claiming that death is stalking this team. My wife added that it's almost like a "Final Destination" situation. I assume she's talking about the first movie with Stifler and not any of the uneccessary sequels. Seriously, odds of all these guys dying before reaching 45 years old is crazy. Doug Miller, who was kind enough to give me an autograph on the day before the Super Bowl was struck by lightning TWICE. The one thing what we should take away from this is how insignificant this game is in the grand scheme of things. However, it's hard not to talk about a curse when the only Charger team to reach the Super Bowl now has all this tragedy attached to it. I originally thought that I'd be able to segue this into a discussion about our draft picks, but I can now see that it won't be possible. I'm sorry if I wasn't able to deliver some grand statement on Junior. I've tried to use humor in this posting not to detract from the seriousness but rather as a coping mechanism. I'll put together a post-draft piece next week. Tomorrow's Cinco De Mayo and Sheli Manning will be hosting Saturday Night Live. But at 5:55 PM on May 5 people have been asked to take a minute of silence in Junior's memory. I'm sure you'll all join me. Talk to you next week. I don't need to tell you who this installment of JIC is dedicated to.
Blow away the dreams that tear you apart
Blow away the dreams that break your heart
Blow away the lies that leave you nothing but lost and brokenhearted.
I still believe in a promised land.

Characters Discussed (Cyclopedia of Literary Characters, Revised Third Edition)
Shylock (SHI-lok), a rich Jewish moneylender. He hates Antonio for often lending money at lower interest than the usurer demands; hence, when Antonio wishes to borrow three thousand ducats to help Bassanio, Shylock prepares a trap. Seemingly in jest, he persuades Antonio to sign a bond stating that, should the loan not be repaid within three months, a pound of flesh from any part of his body will be forfeited to Shylock. Next, Shylock has bad news when he learns that his daughter, Jessica, has eloped with Lorenzo, taking with her much of his money. He gets good news when he learns that Antonio's ships have been lost at sea. Antonio being ruined and the loan due, Shylock brings the case before the duke. He refuses Bassanio's offer of six thousand ducats and demands his pound of flesh. Portia, Bassanio's wife, disguised as a lawyer, claims that Shylock must have the flesh but can take not a single drop of blood with it. Further, she maintains that Shylock, an alien, has threatened the life of a Venetian; therefore, half of his fortune goes to Antonio, the other half to the state. Shylock is allowed to keep half for Jessica and Lorenzo if he will become a Christian. The character of Shylock has become one of the most controversial in Shakespearean drama. Is he a villain or a tragic figure? Does the author intend the audience to regard him as an example of Jewish malevolence or to sympathize with him as a persecuted man?

Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Thursday that he will preside over the marriage of his chief policy advisor, John Feinblatt, and his commissioner for consumer affairs, Jonathan Mintz.
The two have been together for 14 years.
The ceremony will take place at Gracie Mansion on July 24, exactly a month after Governor Andrew Cuomo signed the same-sex marriage bill into law.
Gay weddings are expected to pump millions of dollars into the city's economy.
Some venues are offering specials, and the Molly Blooms restaurant in Sunnyside, Queens is even offering one free same-sex wedding reception.
Meanwhile, New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan ramped up his advocacy against gay marriage.
The Catholic leader wrote on his blog that he fears the next step after gay nuptials will be a redefinition of marriage in order to justify multiple partners and even infidelity.
Dolan apologized for offending anyone, saying his stance is pro-marriage and not anti-gay.

"But what if the distinction between science and religion is wrong? What if the apparent tension between faith and reason is simply an illusion created by a few overzealous believers on both sides who hope that one will eliminate the other? What if science fiction, instead of simply being the cool, rationalistic prediction of things to come, is something more primal, more spiritual---the religious texts of the future?"-from the introduction
In this thorough and engaging book, Gabriel McKee explores the inherent theological nature of science fiction, using illustrations from television shows, literature, and films. Science fiction, he believes, helps us understand not only who we are but who we will become. It can teach us more about how to think of God and can help us keep our beliefs alive in a world of rapidly changing technology. Indeed, McKee argues, science fiction can help forge the faith of the future.
Gabriel McKee is the author of Pink Beams of Light from the God in the Gutter: The Science-Fictional Religion of Philip K. Dick, as well as articles on religion in popular culture for the Revealer and Nerve. He earned his Master of Theological Studies from Harvard Divinity School and lives in Brooklyn, New York, with his wife, Gwynne, a playwright.

On February 28, 2013, in celebration of International Rare Disease Day, a special art exhibit called "Rare People with Unique Talents on an Almost Rare Day" was held in the Van Etten lobby.
The exhibited works, arranged on the walls throughout the cavernous lobby, showcased dozens of artistic pieces created by children and adults who participate in various programs at both Einstein's Children's Evaluation and Rehabilitation Center (CERC) and other area organizations that serve people with developmental disabilities. The artwork represented many media forms, including paintings, drawings, sculpture, paper maché, and computer-generated pieces.
"By exhibiting the artistic talent of these individuals, we hope to convey their creativity and capability, so that people can see beyond their diseases and disabilities," offered Dr. Robert Marion, director of CERC, during opening remarks at the event. The purpose of the event is to raise awareness and appreciation for these unique individuals and to encourage research and programming that will enhance the lives of patients and their families.
During the remarks, those in attendance also heard from several of the artists, who described the works they had done. There also was a table with creative activities for children and anyone else who wanted to try their hand at making a fun creation.
The sponsors of this "rare" event included CERC, the Rose F. Kennedy University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities, the Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Research Center, the Association for the Help of Retarded Children NYC, and the Institutes of Applied Human Dynamics.

It would be cool to have a second version of the animation that looks at the physical location (not just Figure 4 in the paper) of the networks. Also, it would be extremely useful to see the infrastructure for bicycles in those highly utilized areas versus the areas that don't fall into the 3-major-cycling-zones...i.e., the policy implications! Is it possible that introduction of bicycle-friendly routes is key to enabling the major cycling zones, or is it because of what is there (i.e. jobs, corporate centers).
DATA visualisation enables us to learn from information. Jo Wood, a professor of visual analytics at City University London, found a terrific way to depict a vast amount of data in a neatly accessible way—plotting all the bicycle journeys taken by London's municipal bike-sharing service in the first year of operation in 2010-11; some five million trips. The result is the magnificent video-graphic below.
How now, such data? The bicycles do not have wireless GPS modules attached; they're not "spy-cycles." Rather, the system records the time and location when each bike is taken from and returned to a docking station. Based on this, Mr Wood was able to divine the probable route. The information is released publicly by Transport for London (TfL), though Mr Wood has access to even more data for other projects he is working on with TfL.
In the video infographic, one sees small blue wisps (representing bike trips) emerge like tiny water hydra swimming randomly under a microscope's lens. As more data comes, patterns start to form, depicted by bolder, white lines. Finally, just the most common routes are shown. The rectangle on the upper left, for instance, are cyclists at Hyde Park.
"The video-graphic shows that by changing aspects of the visual design, we can bring out the structure in movement patterns that might otherwise be hidden by the chaos of millions of journeys," explains Mr Wood. How this was achieved is described in a paper by Mr Wood and his colleagues Aidan Slingsby and Jason Dykes.
Visualising the data is critical for understanding things like where to build docking stations and how many bikes to stock where, and at what time of day. The interests of commuters going to work from transport hubs like Waterloo and King's Cross St Pancras are different than that of punters enjoying a weekend pedal. The data also track the number of users from outside London, as well as differences between men and women in terms of travel speeds.
In the past this sort of information was only available with self-reported surveys or counters at traffic junctions; all imperfect measures. Now harnessing the actual usage information is feasible, for those with the imagination, skill and tools to bring the data to life.

It is the wall at Conímbriga, with the Roman road leading up to and through it, that first strikes you. In the urgency of its construction anything that came to hand was used and a close inspection reveals pillars, inscribed plaques and bricks thrown in among the rough stonework. Nearby, a series of houses features exceptional mosaic floors, some covered to protect them from the elements. In the "House of Fountains" there are vivid hunting scenes showing animals in flight, while the villa's original fountains and water ducts have been restored to working order (drop a coin into the machine to watch them play). Elsewhere, a complex arrangement of baths reveals their elaborate underfloor heating system – the city was supplied with water by an impressive aqueduct, large parts of which still stand.
Beyond the wall, recent work has been undertaken to re-create something of the spirit and scale of the city's public areas. There's the forum, built at the end of the first century AD, with its market place, shop entrances and nearby temple, while at the edge of the site, on a bluff above the steep valley – for many years Conímbriga's main defence – a series of public baths enjoys a stupendous view.
The excellent Museu Monográfico de Conímbriga, opposite the site entrance, displays fascinating finds from the dig, presented thematically. Cabinets detail the minutiae of various trades (glass making, ironmongery, weaving, even house building) and aspects of daily life; the section on health and hygiene contains scalpels, needles and some quite alarming "probing spoons". On the other side of the museum are displayed the larger spoils – statues of torsos, carved lintels, gargoyles from temples, monochromatic mosaics, remarkably bright mural fragments, and inscribed slabs, pillars and tombstones from the necropolis.

Both Tanner teams will host the sub-regional round later this week. The girls (18-7) play Colbert Heights (10-15) on Thursday, while the boys (16-8) face Cherokee on Friday.

Comments about Eve Lom Cleanser, 1.6 fl oz:
I am a total product junkie. This is the one product I have stuck with for years. I use it twice a day to wash my face, usually following the directions using the muslin washcloth but sometimes using it with a Clarisonic. I love how soft and truly clean my face feels. It does not strip away moisture in any way but leaves skin ready for your latest fave serums and moisturizers.

Comments about Eve Lom Cleanser, 1.6 fl oz:
I tried a sample of this cleanser a while ago, and thought it was good...So I purchased it, and boy, was I disappointed...There was no lather...It's dense and thick but not creamy...I wondered if, perhaps, it had been in storage too long...Ugh!...And the scent of the cleanser it not something you savor...The sample versus the full-size product seemed completely different...I will not purchase, again...My skin did not improve its appearance with the Eve Lom product.

January 11, 2012 |
TRENTON, N.J. – John L. Donahue, Jr., 47, of Freehold, N.J., was sentenced today to 108 months in prison for collecting sexually explicit images of children and downloading them from the Internet, U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman announced.
Donahue previously pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Freda L. Wolfson to an Information charging him with one count of receipt of child pornography. Judge Wolfson also imposed the sentence today in Trenton federal court.
According to documents filed in this case and statements made in court:

In addition to the prison term, Judge Wolfson sentenced Donahue to five years of supervised release. Donahue is required to register as a sex offender.
U.S. Attorney Fishman praised postal inspectors of the United States Postal Inspection
Service, under the direction of Postal Inspector in Charge Philip R. Bartlett in Newark, and the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office, under the direction of Prosecutor Peter E. Warshaw Jr., with the investigation leading to today's guilty plea.

Several of us were outside looking at the sundog in the sky. One of us looked up and saw a complete rainbow above our heads! It was the most complete sundog any of us have ever seen! Nature must have felt badly about the dark and dreary spring she's been giving us, so on our first sunny day, she gave us rainbows and blue skies!

Mount Vernon, located on the banks of the Potomac River in Virginia, was the home of George Washington from 1754 until his death in 1799. The mansion was originally constructed in 1735 by Washington's father, Augustine, and later was significantly enlarged and expanded by Washington himself. The most striking architectural feature of the mansion is the two-story columned piazza, running the entire length of the house on the east side. With its spectacular view of the river and the Maryland shore beyond, the piazza was a center of social activity for family and guests.
Mount Vernon Floral Porcelain Plate has a green rim and features an image of the Mansion's east front and lawn with a surround of pink cherry blossoms and white dogwood flowers.
The 9 ½" fine porcelain plate is microwave and dishwasher safe.

What brand faucet,Moen,Delta, ect.
I hope someone can help me. I have a problem with my kitchen faucet sprayer.
No water is coming out, so I thought the deverter is not not opening. I replaced the deverter. Same thing, no water coming out.
When I take the deverter out, the sprayer works fine and at the same time water is coming out off the faucet/spout too.
So the lines are not clogged.
Before that I replaced the old valves of this type with this type
Can it be that the new ones does not open enough like the old ones so that the water pressure is less than before?
Thank you
Replaced it with this
Are you sure it is Delta, model # would help, and picture of the faucet mounted on sink would help too.
It says corrego on it but it is 100% Delta, made by the same company in China.
Did the problem start immediately after changing the angle stops? Do you notice less flow with the new angle stops? Have you cleaned out the aerator? Have you tested without the aerator? The diverter valve needs a certain amount of flow to engage. Whenever plumbing systems are shut off, the subsequent in-rush when turned back on can dislodge sediment that then gets trapped in places like angle stops, heat traps, aerators, etc., and may need to get flushed out.
So the aerator is clean too. I can't remember how the water flow was before I remodelled my kitchen.When I take the deverter out, the sprayer works fine and at the same time water is coming out off the faucet/spout too.
So the lines are not clogged.
Ja, but "not clogged" is such a relative term. As I said, the diverter may need a certain volume of flow but you cannot remember how good the flow was before.
Can't remember that, only that it was working.
Your photo seems to show the "spray" and "spout" connections reversed.
IF it works without the diverter, but not WITH the diverter, you either have the spout and spray connections reversed so it thinks the spray is always on, or you have a bad diverter, ( I prefer the plastic Delta diverters). Put a dime in the aerator to stop the flow and see if the spray works. If it does the connections are reversed.
Licensed residential and commercial plumber
Maybe "pray" refers to what you do when you buy a faucet made in China.
Licensed residential and commercial plumber
Pray is what us DIY'ers do. We pray that we get it right. If we don't, we pray that we can find a pro that is willing to take over a job started by a DIY'er. Then we pray they don't charge us double the going rate as punishment.

Datebook: May 9 - Mr. Punch Turns 350
The squawking, red-nose prince of slapstick named Mr. Punch made his first recorded debut on May 9, 1662 in the diary of English naval administrator Samuel Pepys. After a party at London's Covent Garden, he recorded that he enjoyed "an Italian puppet play that is within the rayles there, which is very pretty, the best that ever I saw." At the time, Mr. Punch was a stringed marionette called Pulcinella, but has since evolved into the stick-wielding puppet we know today. Puppeteers call him the lord of misrule, classic gallows humor, and in-tune with the social climate. He's often joined on-stage with his wife Judy, a hungry crocodile, a clown, policeman, and a string of sausages. That's the way to do it!

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - For the past several years, we've all heard "it's a buyers market." But now, that is starting to change. "Every property that I've told my clients this will have multiple offers, it will go quick, it has," says Keller Williams broker Josh Burnett. He works in the Ballantyne area. Not long ago, Burnett considered an open house successful if five people came through. "Now it's not uncommon for our open houses to have 12 to 20 or even more people come through," he says. Another tell tale sign of a turnaround: agents are also starting to get training on how to handle multiple offer situations. "We're really having to get back to some of the basics we had to learn years ago when the market was so great," says Burnett. A recent article in the Los Angeles Times says buyers are even making offers on properties before they're listed and that bidding wars are erupting due to a shortage of "good homes." Experts say that's because California, and a few other states, had high levels of distressed properties which left an inventory gap now that distressed numbers have declined. Because our distressed property levels never reached those highs, our inventory levels aren't sinking as low here, says Charlotte Regional Realtor Association President Jennifer Frontera. "Our inventory is down about 18% from last year but I would not say it's a shortage," says Frontera. Other Charlotte area housing market indicators look good. Days on market are down and sales price is up. Also, in May, there was a nearly 8% increase in Charlotte area listings for traditional (non-distressed) properties, which demonstrates seller confidence. "Everything is going in the right direction, whether it's up or down," says Frontera. Burnett says if you're on the fence about whether to buy a home, the biggest thing you need to keep in mind is that prices are going up, not down. |

Fines planned for careless driving
Fines planned for careless driving
Police will get powers to fine careless drivers, rather than taking them to court, as part of a government strategy to make Britain's roads safer.
Ministers say motorists who tail-gate, undertake or cut others up often go unpunished and that introducing instant penalties would be more efficient.
Offenders would get a fine of at least £80 and three points on their licence.
Critics say the approach - likely to be introduced in 2012 in England, Scotland and Wales - is too simplistic...We're bringing purple back.
Re: Fines planned for careless driving
Just the government taking more of our money... well not our money because the article is from the UK, but damn the government anyways.
We're bringing purple back.

I think about the corporations I work within as I once thought about my community in Peace Corps; a group of individuals with tremendous capabilities jointly pursuing shared opportunities and challenges. And what I learned in Peace Corps about engagement, consensus-building, and problem solving; oh and perseverance and patience too - are all key ingredients to helping corporations realize their full potential as corporations with shareholders and community members with stakeholders.
Corporation as Community
I completed my staging and training, was delayed traveling to my site for over two weeks because of a health scare in the region, and finally arrived at site. There was a large celebration taking place and it seemed like an ideal opportunity to begin my immersion. I approached a small group and introduced myself. As I described what I was there to do - my early understanding of what I was there to do - I was met with blank stares. "Where are you from?" I was asked. "New York". More silence.
Sounds a lot like Peace Corps right?
It was my first day on the job as the Sustainable Development Manager on a large petrochemical construction project in China. My thousand plus professional colleagues had never heard of such a position, and I was just starting to understand what it really meant myself. Not Peace Corps, but boy did it feel like Peace Corps. I drew upon my Peace Corps experience repeatedly as I entered into this new community, and a host of communities around it, to realize the project's environmental and social commitments.
Corporations have tremendous expertise, capacity and motivation to harness for community good, and community harm. And Returned Peace Corps Volunteers have many of the skills and sensitivities needed to help corporations figure out how to do more of the former and less or none of the latter. That is the subject of this blog.
Did I really get blank stares my first day as a PCV? No. But after two weeks many people in the village were seriously concerned about my basic abilities to…do anything. They had watched me swim back and forth in the lagoon every morning - for at least 45 minutes - and always emerge from the water empty handed - no fish; the only reason an adult would spend that much time in the water.
Please come share your thoughts on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), or better yet send some fishing tips.
About Peace Corp(oration)s
Your corporation needs you! Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Sustainability, Environmental Social Governance (ESG), the Triple Bottom Line, Citizenship 'Äď Returned Peace Corps Volunteers are uniquely qualified to help corporations understand and realize their full community potential; economic, social and environmental. Think it is just window dressing? Think it is selling out? Think again . . . 'ÄĒ Bruce Schlein

John D. McGurk's Irish Pub
St. Louis, MO 63104
Riverfront Times' Description
Such a welcoming place that it equally suits the blue-collar after-work drinkers, the hungry neighborhood regulars at lunch and dinner and the preppily dressed west-county throngs on weekends. The standard pub fare is unquestionably good -- with an Irish stew worth dreaming about at night and a burger to make an idiot of yourself for -- but surprisingly, the hoity-toitier choices such as pesto tortellini and Bailey's cheesecake are just as expertly done, as if they've been part of the Irish repertoire for generations. More importantly, McGurk's, considered by many to be the pre-eminent Irish bar in St. Louis, pulls arguably the best Guinness in town. The tiny stage is host to live Irish music seven nights a week, ranging from rowdy sing-a-longs to traditional reels and jigs played by master folk musicians.
Member Reviews
Awesome outdoor patio, great selection too!
Great Irish Pub! During the week they have this great Irish Trio/band. Their patio is unbeatable too in the summertime!
Great potato soup! It's a bit of a crowded place and semi pricey but it is a fun atmosphere if you like irish pubs.
Tips from foursquare
Voted Best Outdoor Dining by RFT Readers!
2011 RFT Best of St. Louis Readers' Pick Winner - Best Outdoor Dining.
Congratulations, you've found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America. Clearly, this is a place to hoist a pint of Guinness. Slainte!
Best patio in St. Louis! Inside is also great, especially when there's an Irish band playing.
Watch out for the douche brigade.
