Airport Connector Road to Open
Road Links 895 with Richmond International Airport
Getting to Richmond International Airport is about to get a little faster.
The 1.6-mile Airport Connector road – which links Airport Drive with the Pocahontas Parkway (Route 895) – opened to the public Jan. 14, culminating a two-year construction period and years of planning. The new route, constructed by Transurban as part of the state's Public Private Transportation Act, provides a more direct link to the airport from points south via the Pocahontas Parkway and I-295. The new road connects to the existing portion of Airport Drive at Charles City Road, then travels through the Seven Hills industrial park and connects with the Pocahontas Parkway, where travelers can head south to I-95 or north to I-295. The road is considered an extension of the Pocahontas Parkway, so commuters who travel both will pay just one toll. Only customers using the Airport Drive Connector and traveling between the airport and Interstate 295 will pay $1.25 at the ramp linking the connector to Pocahontas 895. The toll will be collected electronically, with payment made by E-ZPass or Visa/Mastercard credit or debit cards. Other commuters will pay their normal tolls on 895. Officials held a ribbon-cutting ceremony today to celebrate the road's completion and take a tour of the new road. "The Airport Connector Road is a showcase of how the commonwealth can use public-private partnerships to create jobs, improve our transportation network and strengthen our economy," Virginia Secretary of Transportation Sean T. Connaughton said. Transurban, the long-term manager that operates and maintains Pocahontas 895, agreed to finance and construct the nearly $50 million Airport Connector Road as part of a public-private partnership with VDOT established in 2006. The project did not require Virginia taxpayer funding and was supported through a loan provided by the federal government and backed by Transurban. "As a long-term operator, Transurban is always looking at ways to improve service for its customers and work collaboratively with its partners, "said Tony Adams, Transurban's vice president, major projects. "This project will benefit the airport, local travelers and businesses and fulfills a long-term goal of VDOT and Henrico County." |

Abstract emotion
Abstract paintings of Inge Strack (pictured) are on display through March 9 at the Gumenick Family Gallery at The Cultural Arts Center at Glen Allen. Strack, a Chestefield painter of German origin, often paints in bold colors with a deep sense of emotion, focusing on brushstrokes, texture and form to find a balance. Strack's painting is routed in the European tradition of expressionism but has found its own, unique language in following the American dream.
"I am not attempting to abstract the physical world," she said. "I draw my subject matter from inside of myself hoping to create a constant conversation between the viewer and the painting, especially since abstracts do not seem to answer but ask." > Read more.

Fico is 741, when do I Start Applying for Credit Cards?
[ Edited ]10-11-2012 03:28 PM - edited 10-11-2012 03:31 PM
Just started rebuilding. On my Equifax, I have no negative trades (got the last baddie removed). I have a very old jewelry acct reported as paid as agreed (8 years old). I have a US Bank Secured with a 300 limit, paid as agreed (30 days old). Just this morning, the Discover card that my friend put me as an authorized user on just reported (opened 10/1/2012, 2000 limit). My Equifax Fico according to USAA is 741 and according to MyFico directly it's 701. I have no idea why it's reporting high scores considering everything I have is new, but my scores are something I've never had before and it's making me excited.
Being that all my trade lines are way too new, what's a good amount of time to pass before I can apply for credit through an Equifax pull and pretty much get approved? I'm pretty sure the scores will carry me through, but I know my history won't. Six months or a year? I don't want to be too impatient and ruin a hard pull for them to deny me. What would you do?
Re: Fico is 741, when do I Start Applying for Credit Cards?
6 months of positive TLs is considered a good starting point. Your AAoA is what's hurting you right now. Let that age just a bit and you should have pretty good odds at getting decent cards. I would recommend that you get a GECRB card such as Walmart or so. They tend to grow and give good CLs that will help you get higher CLs with other cards. Oh, and if you want, I think you're more than good to go for one of those right now. Good Luck!
Starting Score: 504
Current Score: EQ FICO 819, TU08 778, EX "806 lender pull 07/26/2013
Goal Score: All Scores 760+, Newest goal 800+

North Shore residents may include food scraps with their yard trimmings for curbside collection.
The Curbside Yard Trimmings Collection Program has expanded to accept both food scraps and food soiled paper in the City of North Vancouver, District of North Vancouver and District of West Vancouver.
The program is called the Green Can and is available to all residences eligible for curbside yard trimmings collection.
The Green Can Program helps the environment and minimizes increases to garbage collection fees. It's important to participate in the Green Can Program, and to backyard compost, because food scraps will soon be banned from the landfill by Metro Vancouver.
If you backyard compost, please continue to do so and use your Green Can for items that are difficult to compost safely in bear country such as cooked plate scrapings, meat, bones and dairy.
The North Shore is natural bear habitat. Although residents will simply be putting food scraps into the green can instead of the garbage can, we can minimize human-bear conflict by managing our garbage, green can and other bear attractants responsibly. View our tips on being Bear Smart.

You may already be aware that men have best friends too. In fact, three out of four men have (or have had) a Brad Pitt to their George Clooney (Search:Learn more about their famous bromance).
But according to a new study by Badoo, it turns out that American guys tend to maintain their bromance until an average age of 44, as opposed to British guys, for whom close man-love tapers off at age 35. Of our men in the U.S.A., almost half of these bromantic guys are single (41 percent), and a disconcerting ton of them say that their Man Love has caused problems in past relationships (60 percent).
Also, 16 percent of wives and girlfriends admit some jealousy when it comes to their guy's bromance.
Are you jealous of his best friend? Does he get jealous of your best friend? If so... I don't know, that's lame? How do you work it out?

Is Apple's Mac Mini a MacBook inside?
The premium pricing of Apple's Mac Mini desktop is due to its laptop lineage, according to a teardown analysis by iSuppli.
Though probably not a surprise to Mac Mini connoisseurs, the diminutive desktop bears higher component costs due to its use of parts designed for mobile PCs, iSuppli said in a report released Friday. In short, inside the Mini is a virtual laptop.
The entry-level version of the new-generation Mac Mini carries a bill of materials (BOM) of $376.20, which increases to $387.14 when manufacturing costs are added, iSuppli said. The low-end model in the Mac Mini lineup is priced at $599, "reflecting the relatively thin BOM/manufacturing margins" of Apple's PCs in relation to its lower-cost consumer items, specifically the iPod line, according to iSuppli.
"Unlike most desktop computers from other brands, the Mac Mini and, indeed, Apple's entire Mac line make extensive use of components designed for notebook computers," said Andrew Rassweiler, director and principal analyst for iSuppli. "Apple knows how to make computers better, smaller, and more attractive," he said. "Such an achievement, however, comes at a premium."
This sentiment is echoed in a CNET Reviews write-up of the Mac Mini. "While we're still impressed with the Mac Mini's ability to pack so much into a tight package, Apple can't get away from its PC competitors that offer more features for less money," CNET Reviews said.
That said, mobile components abound.… Read more

Juliana Pilon reviews The Work of Enchantment by Matthew Del Nevo
Below, Dr. Juliana Geran Pilon, Director of IWP's Center for Culture and Security and Professor of Politics and Culture, reviews The Work of Enchantment by Matthew Del Nevo.
This slim volume by Australian philosophy professor Matthew Del Nevo offers a sensitive and loving celebration of enchantment, which he defines as "being captivated by the beautiful." A feeling familiar from childhood, enchantment becomes harder to experience as we age, especially against the mundane rapidity of modernity. Paradoxically, the same metastasis of gadgets and entertainment that people the world over begrudge us saps the West's ability to nurture the spirituality that forms the very essence of enchantment.
The book focuses on the life-enriching feeling made possible by a special "receptive ability" that must be nurtured through culture and education. In this sense, a child's sense of wonder provides only a premonition of what a civilized adult who knows great art, music, philosophy, religion, and literature, may experience. The author appeals to artists like Adorno, Proust, Rilke, and Goethe, who are "great because of their uncontested power of initiation" to enchantment, in order to illustrate this profound state of being, which he describes as the ultimate "desire of the soul."
Del Nevo's blending of emotion and reason as equally necessary to achieve a genuine spiritual peace is reminiscent of the beloved C. S. Lewis. Like Lewis, he believes that the human predicament is to be "perplexed"( in the sense famously described by the medieval theologian Moses Maimonides), a condition alleviated by religion and creativity. Man has to learn, somehow, to inhabit two realms of reality: this world and its absence - to both be and not to be. Before Hamlet's dilemma, logic is helpless; paradox calls for faith and beauty.
Or, rather, beauty and faith - in that order. For Del Nevo suggests that each of us can deliberately "work" toward enchantment. That "work" includes primarily "reading, listening, and gazing": the disciplined pursuit of beauty. It is Aesthetics that he commends for coronation as "queen of sciences," rather than restoring the scepter to its original holder - Theology; though, admittedly, he appears ready to accept a shared throne, were "bicephalic monarchy" not oxymoronic.
How refreshing to find a celebration of Beauty at a time when relativism famously mocks it, alongside Truth and Goodness. How comforting, as well, to revisit literary masterpieces that speak to our deepest sensibilities; to reaffirm the never-ending need that each of us has - or certainly should have - for soul-nourishment. Call it enchantment, or grace, or love; this book takes it seriously and enchant in turn.

We were on vacay in CA a few years ago and on a celebrity tour drove by the Reagan home, the last one he lived in, and I don´t think this is the one. It had lots of trees and was surrounded by a high fence and gate, also you could see it was protected by the Secret Service. Also saw OJ´s home that day and what a shocker that it wasn´t that much of an ´estate´ and if he chipped golf balls in the yard, I wonder why his neighbors didn´t get their windows broken. The street where you saw the limo parked by the gate was narrower than our street in MO. Click Here if you Like this Comment
So, the Reagan´s house is "swanky"..is the Obama Home a ghetto? The Obama vacation house a slum?Ms. Karmon exposed herself. Click Here if you Like this Comment
it´s a nice enough house, but I´ve seen better on HGTV. Hilary would gut it and David would list it. Drew and Jonathan would be ripping up that wall-to-wall and definitely do something with the kitchen.The views are lovely, tho. Location, location, location... Click Here if you Like this Comment
Nice views, yes. Ugly, cold, cavernous interior, influenced by those overrated poseurs, Frank Lloyd Wright and Bauhaus? That too. (Btw, that sterile-looking kitchen is most likely 21st century.)But as a preservationist myself, I agree that "mid-century" architecture is worthy of preservation ... well, some of it. Certainly any home of President Reagan is worth preserving.I wonder if Reagan had much input into the design? Article indicates it was a gift to Reagan from GE, long before Reagan began his political activity.Reminds me of a gift of a Victorian mansion to Ulysses S. Grant, from the grateful folks of Galena, Illinois. Grant was gracious enough to accept the house, but chose not to live in it. Click Here if you Like this Comment

This is missing the real story about Ronald Reagan´s house/homes. The ones where he grew up under tough conditions that today´s ´leaders´ have no clue about.

The dems hate the concept of merit and their lefty media now never misses an opportuntiy to slam achievers. Nevertheless, Pres. Reagan remains a timeless role model of excellence for the ages and his written words of Wisdom are thankfully preserved for all who cherish the freedoms inherent within each individual. Reagan´s words speak for themselves. Click Here if you Like this Comment
´swanky´ isn´t the word I would use. OTOH I don´t see why it should draw contempt.It is just a nice house in a style popular at the time.GE reportedly made it as advanced as possible. Most of that electrical gadgetry will be obsolete. We might laugh at some.Tastes really do change. The people who designed it, decorated it, and those lived in it were no more inept or foolish than we will seem in 2070. Click Here if you Like this Comment

Premise: Warwick Davis is an actor who, as a dwarf, counts among his most famous roles playing the title character in the ``Leprechaun'' film series. In this mockumentary series, created by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, Davis stars as a fictionalized version of himself whose career is in a downward spiral. As if that's not bad enough, he also has a massive tax bill caused by his useless accountant and a wife who is divorcing him. As a result, he opens his doors to a film crew, which films him 24 hours a day, seven days a week, in an attempt to get back on top. The film crew captures Warwick's every move as he tries to maintain his pride in unusual situations. Cameos by celebrities, including Gervais, Merchant, Johnny Depp and Steve Carell, are featured in many episodes.

Last week, the U.S. Senate voted unanimously (94-0) to reauthorize the federal Older Americans Act. The House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed the legislation by a vote of 405 to 2. President Clinton is expected to sign the bill into law.
A key piece of the final legislation includes the establishment of the National Family Caregiver Support Program, modeled in part on California's successful and innovative Caregiver Resource Centers.
President Clinton has stated that " the National Family Caregiver Support Program is a key Administration priority designed to provide respite care and other supportive services to help hundreds of thousands of families who are struggling to care for their loved ones who are ill or disabled."
Family Caregiver Alliance applauds this much-needed legislation. "This news is especially welcome," said FCA Executive Director Kathleen Kelly, "as we celebrate National Family Caregivers Month (in November). The enactment of this historic national program is a great victory for older persons and their families!"
Family Caregiver Alliance, founded in 1977, was the first community-based organization in the country to respond to the needs of caregivers of loved ones suffering from such debilitating conditions as Alzheimer's disease, stroke, Parkinson's disease, traumatic brain injury and other disorders. Family Caregiver Alliance serves as a public voice for caregivers, providing the assistance they need and deserve, and championing their cause through education, services, research and advocacy.

So, whats new????Art
The crease in his pants (tingle!), my free Obamaphone (double tingle!!). Nothing else matters. Go Obama 2012!
And she will still get votes and support. What is the matter with people?!Does Character mean nothing, nothing at all?? Do these people even know what character is?Does honesty, truth and facts not have a place in their lives at all?What is it about the left that causes them to continually stand on the wrong side of every issue?
It's pretty bad when your hopes for dem victories depend on getting low (or no) information voters to vote.
Clarice knows how to tie all the strings together. Elizabeth Warren and her supposed-Indian ancestry, which gained her a teaching position at Harvard, and the law license she doesn't hold, are just the tip of the iceberg.Actually, it's probably a good thing that she is running for office, because much of her dissembling might have gone un-noticed by Harvard. What an embarrassment to a supposedly superior institution! Never again can Harvard hold its nose in the air as the "crème de la crème" of higher education.The last four years have been a string of lies by almost all of the players in this Administration, which has become an American tragedy. Hopefully, the American voters have opened their eyes and have had their fill of lies, deceit, distortion, duplicity, dissimulation.This Administration lies and prevaricates about everything. These people must have been who Mark Twain had in mind when he said: "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics."
Summary: the Libyan operation was Half-Fast and Furious.
#3, #4, others: never forget that the Left has one principle, which is the wielding of power. Know that truth and all is clear to you. If they believed free markets would put more power in their hands than statism, we would see Milton Friedman posters in Obama's campaign offices, not Che posters.#5: Harvard is The New York Times of universities.
Warren is the typical Democrat candidate for political office, liars and frauds. Keep voting Democrat and that's what you get. A perfect example sits in the Oval Office. The Democrat Party needs to be sent a message in November. They should be voted out of all governmental control.
there are polls and there is propganda rassmussen is a poll most everything else is lib ------ you can fill in the blank
#8, the Democrat Party WAS sent a message in 2010. All across the country, Republicans wiped the floor with dem candidates in a historic election victory. Doesn't seem to matter to the media, et all. They continue like nothing happened in 2010. This election, we must do the same... Wipe the floor with the libs in 2012!
Probably Bill Ayers is running the government thru Valerie Jarrett who controls Obama.
Scott Brown should make a simple ad saying...What else is she lieing about?
I surely hope the poles are wrong or we are in for a country with no freedom, a country where no one will want to work - just set back and hope the government takes care of them -----until the money runs out and then, we will all be on the streets, begging for just a small piece of bread. It cannot continue like it is going - the poor will not or can't work because they cannot find a job, the wealthy will loose all their money and they will not be able to promote jobs so the poor will remain poor. We are in for a rocky road. Its like the countries overseas who can't find work, food, or any thing to sustain life.
We don't know it yet, but the two predominant political parties in America have new names...the Sane and the INsane.You figure out which is which.
These revelations make sense as to why the fast and furious lies are coming from the Administration. No wonder Hillary looks so worried. SHe has her very own Watergate to weasel out of.The author seems to feel that the press cannot hide it for another 40 days. I hope he is right.
Another demorat's covered posterior by the media......Surprise -- surprise!!Wake up Massachusetts -- she's a lying fool and doesn't belong in the Senate.Of course -- diaper wearing al franken is there from Minnesota -- so another demorat can vote MY LIFE's path while they wallow in filth and dishonesty....LZK
When I saw Biden was slamming Al Qaeda at every event post convention... and handing out "Osama is dead & GM is alive" bumper stickers... It was clear they were asking for violence.And the continuing riots in the ME are chanting = "Obama, Obama... We Are All Osama"
Osama got the last laugh.
Morsi is also pressing for the release of the Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, the "Blind Sheikh," who was behind the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center and who is at the center of an extradition battle in the U.K. trying to evade imprisonment in the United States.This excerpt from Matt Holtzmann confused me (not that hard to do). Isn't the Blind Sheikh serving a life sentence here? Who is fighting extradition? Maybe I'm reading this wrong or missing some context or other.
Did anyone actually take the time to read the whole article? It is about Obama arming Al Quida? What more does he have to do before we try him for treason?
# 19 I believe there's a typo and the sentence should readMorsi is also pressing for the release of the Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, the "Blind Sheikh," who was behind the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center and Al-Masri who is at the center of an extradition battle in the U.K. trying to evade imprisonment in the United States.
Thanks #22, I think you're right. I found this article on Al-Masrihttp://tinyurl.com/9rh2r5e
FTA: "I can think of no other reason why we had so many former Seals and outside contractors in these locations except that we were trying unsuccessfully to retrieve these arms before they fell in the hands of Al Qaeda."Clarice gives us a pretty good investigative piece on the Benghazi attack, Obama's role in creating the conditions for that attack, and the signs of a tragically-mishandled coverup.It's interesting to notice, then, the occasional use of rhetoric in places where proof is not yet present to connect some of the pieces.Asserting an explanation to be true, based on one's inability to see an alternative explanation, is usually what we see in Liberal handwaving. It's as logically sound as asserting a point to be true because one feels it's got to be true.#13 ("I surely hope the poles are wrong") -- Not sure what folks in Krakow or Warsaw have to do with our future freedom to begin with; but I'd rather see the Czechs or Hungarians be wrong this time.

@#24 "...#13 ("I surely hope the poles are wrong") -- Not sure what folks in Krakow or Warsaw have to do with our future freedom to begin with; but I'd rather see the Czechs or Hungarians be wrong this time. (Poles get such a bad rap…)…"Now, now. We all know what was meant. In the heat of writing, we all may, from time to time plug in the wrong word with the correct spelling.
This opinion piece is NOT about Elizabeth Warren. It's about Obama arming the Islamists who eventually attacked the US Embassy.Elizabeth Warren is a symptom of a much greater rot at the core of the democrat party. Fast And Furious and the Benghazi cover-up go way beyond Watergate, Rose Law Firm billing records, Cattle Futures, Travel Gate, Valerie Plame, Iran Contra etc etc.Obama and his administration shouldn't be merely impeached, they should be criminally prosecuted. Which is why I expect a blanket John Doe pardon for anyone why has ever worked for Obama when he gets bounced out of the White House.
#25 - just trying to take advantage of an opportunity to inject a little light-heartedness into a discussion about an event that's borderline-depressing in its implications.
The D-Convention was a parade of incompetents, fools, and liars, and yet people keep voting for them. Hm! doesn't say much about the people, does it?
In the infamous image of it ( poker-haunt-ass. warren ) she is holding her thumb and finger two inches apart.Is it measuring the 0blo/bowers IQ or some other part ofit's anatomy?
I am hoping the Romney Debate coaching team is looking for a way for Mitt to introduce this into the debates. However, although the article is a "good" story, where are the facts to support all these links, i.e. Chicago + Mex drug cartels, Obama's secret orders et alia.
#3:"What is it about the left that causes them to continually stand on the wrong side of every issue?"Their master demands it; he always has and always will....since the Garden of Eden.
#30...it's too complicated and it doesn't strike home sufficiently to be a major issue. It may warrant a mention, but if one has to explain, it's not an election issue. Now, free phones is another matter.
The revelations that Obama supplies weapons to Al Qaeda really comes as no surprise. If topic of supplying arms came up during the muslim brotherhood installation effort, take it for granted they DID do it. Of course the FBI hasn't been sent in-might uncover the truth. Bamster has been using the office of the presidency to side with our enemies. I feel sorry for Bill, Hillary probably has a headache most nights-kidding that's a good thing. Get out there and campaign(perfect excuse) for our communist commander in chief, Bill. You might get some on the road.Anyone notice that OCCIC has been taken down, with promises to come back by now passed Sept 25? The "axe" must be at it again.Say goodbye to 2016, Hildebeast.

- Chicago Cubs manager Dale Sveum sounds like a Bryan LaHair fan, which, I suppose, is what you'd expect. But it's still nice to hear him say things like this about LaHair: "Sometimes guys can't do certain things. But this kid obviously — the last two years and going to winter ball — has made some adjustments and has been tearing the cover off the ball no matter where he goes. He swung the bat pretty well when he came up in September last year. Some guys, whether something clicks with something swinging the bat or somebody tells them one little thing and all of a sudden it all comes together … unfortunately for some kids it comes a little bit later, but the fact of the matter is I think it's clicked for him right now."
- As noted in the comments yesterday, and as expected, Blake DeWitt has accepted his assignment to AAA Iowa (thus keeping his $1.1 million contract for this season). He'll come to camp as a non-roster invite, and try to make the team, just as he would have if he were still on the 40-man roster.
- Grantland's Jonah Keri previews the Cubs' 2012 season. It's a bit vanilla (what do you expect when a guy has to preview all 30 teams?), and one of the more optimistic Cubs previews you'll see. Keri can see the Cubs staying in the race through mid-season, which I suppose I can, too, if a huge number of things break right for the team.
- The Trey McNutt article discussed last night (about Theo compensation) also had a few interesting, fluffy bits about McNutt as a prospect, coming back from a rough 2011 season.
- Ryan Dempster has been working hard to have a better 2012, partly in the hopes that he can stay with the Cubs after this season. Unless Dempster is willing to give a serious discount, as I've said before, I have a hard time seeing him back next year. If he pitches poorly this year, the Cubs probably won't want him back. If he pitches very well, he'll probably price himself out of the range the Cubs will want to spend on a mid/late-30s starter. I hope he pitches very well, and then does the discount thing, because I like Dempster.
- Yadier Molina, a quietly huge part of the Cardinals' success over the past five years, isn't planning on giving the Cardinals a home-town discount when he's a free agent after this season. "I don't know about that," Molina said of a discount. "Like I always say, I like the town and I like the city, but at the same time, I have to think about my family. You have to worry about your family like they worry about the team. This is business. If I get good money, I'll take it. If not, I'll go away." Squeeze 'em for every penny, Yadier.
- A *brilliant* read on the iconic 'Simpsons' episode, Homer at the Bat (the one with all the ballplayers), from Deadspin. (A buried nugget: the writers originally wanted Ryne Sandberg, not Steve Sax, to be the second baseman. That would have been swell, but we would have lost Chief Wiggum's "you're a long way from New York, Saxy boy" (or some similar iteration that my mind only mostly remembers).)
- Tomorrow is the last day you can vote for Cubs fan Brian Pasnik to get into the MLB Fan Cave. Let's continue to do a good thing, and try and help him achieve his dream. Vote for Brian here.
- Many more great pictures of Spring Training from Tim at Boys of Spring. Brett Jackson no longer looks like a bad-ass caveman (he just looks boringly bad-ass).
- Luke Blaize from Cubbies Crib has been profiling every player on the Cubs' 40-man roster (here's one on Rafael Dolis). It's quite a series, and worth a look.

Bill James only has a 13HR projection for Lahair this year..that's not good
Thats 8 more than he's ever hit in his entire career.
Bill James' projection is based on a season where LaHair gets 316 PAs. If LaHair gets a full season worth of plate appearances, that you'd presume that James would think he'd hit around 25 HRs.
QT @GordonEdes: Theo compensation deal 'close,' with Sox receiving one quality minor leaguer in return from Cubs, according to MLB source.
That's two Paul Sullivan articles I've read recently. Now I remember why I stopped following him on Twitter. I don't expect him to be all gushy about sports, but the man never (rarely) says anything good and has that dark side, negative tone to all his work. What a burnout!
I really wish your "click here" button did something "cool" like Rick Rolled us when you clicked on it…
There is a condom ad on this page?! This has officially combined my two favorite things – sex and the Cubs. Not necessarily in that order.
Interestingly, the ads are often based on your browsing habits, so, yes, it sounds like it has combined your favorite things.
haha! That can't possibly be true!
Sure it is my ads are full of kegerators, ski masks, and ball gags. That's about right
Mine are full AARP and Depends …
Yep. You can thank Microsoft and your browser for that ad. Brett simply gives them the space to advertise directly to you. My ads are all about cars. Guess I've been looking around at cars too much recently.
The only way it's true is if Microsoft can read my mind since my browsing history is suitable for work. Funny, though.
Jackson needs to get the caveman look back. Immediately.
Does it ever bother anyone that multi-million dollar athletes talk about needing to worry about their families? Will their children starve if they make "only" $10M/year instead of $15M?
I love baseball and the nuances of the game. I don't like how players try to gain sympathy for the shlub who forks over $100/game for his kids to see what used to cost $10-15 a couple of decades ago.
Again, I have no problem with getting as much as you can, but please stop pandering with "I have to look out for my family" BS.
No, not at all.
Most of these guys never got college degrees. Most of them would either have to get a job in baseball, or take a low paying job somewhere else that they're qualified for.
10 million dollars right now isn't a whole lot, when you're going to have a hard time making more after your mid 30s.
If Yadier Molina had his legs amputated tomorrow he could make a small fortune opening a couple dealerships, real estate business and insurance business in the St. Louis area. While he may not be able to walk into a traditional business and make 6 figures right away, if he has a decent financial planner he should be set for life.
Saying they need to look out for their families is the media acceptable way of saying, I need to make sure that I am looking out for myself and I need to make sure I get as much as I can, because noone else will.
Yeah, that's about where I am. Plus, I guess I don't much care the reason – these guys have a right to make all they can while they can make it. I might wish I had a taste of it, myself, but that doesn't mean I can hate on them for simply accepting what the market will bear. If it upset me, I probably wouldn't watch pro sports.
Your comment echoes my feeling on this topic as well. My thinking is that, if a fan wants to be mad at anyone, the fan should direct that anger toward ownership. At the end of the day, ownership sets the price of the tickets, concessions, and are the ones who drove up the player salary so high that they needed to raise ticket and concession prices.
It always baffles me that somehow fans seem to relate more to ownership than the players and the players are constantly lampooned by the media as greedy.
*Rant over*
Ticket prices and concessions are only part of the $$$ that go to MLB and other sports. TV contracts are a huge source of the money. They pay the $$$ because of the advertising revenue that they will generate showing the games. You are paying to watch the players, so shouldn't they get the $$$$?
Similarly, there is a ton of money in merchandising. Now, part of this is tribal instinct: you wear a Cubs or Sox hat because you are, somehow, someway, connected to Chicago and/or Boston (to use myself as an example). But it is in part because of the players, past and present. (Personally, I'd like to see more merchandising money go to the retired players: I wear the caps for Ernie & Ryno or Yaz & Dewie just as much as any of the present guys.)
While I see where you're coming from…the players and their association are as greedy as anyone. As fans, we should be wondering why a Donald Fehr is raking in so much dough. As fans, we should consider that an owner has invested alot of money into the organization and should expect a return. An owner is also responsible for more than just their family…think of all the employees and their families that are supported.
I do think players should get paid…but, seriously, how much is enough? I'd really like to see a system that rewards for performance. Soriano realistically should have received a decent guarantee 5 years ago with opportunities to earn $18MM/year…but there's no way he should be gettin' that amount when he isn't earning it.
From my perspective, owners are like Republicans (greedy) and players are like Democrats (entitled)…and, we the fans/people are constantly gettin' chunks takin' out of our backsides from both sides! But, here in America, we will always pay for entertainment…and that's quite sad. America…the Land of Spectating.
heh, there were professional sports in Rome. There were arguments then about how much the athletes should get. This has nothing to do with "America": this is human nature, i.e., what I do is important, and as I don't know what you do, you aren't doing anything.
But this is different from Ancient Rome in one particular way that you are forgetting: TV revenue and merchandising are HUGE parts of this equation. Should all of entertainment and advertising be restructured so that baseball players generate only what you think that they should?
I don't know what should be done, Doc, but I do believe there should be more balance. It is interesting that you used Rome as your example…we obviously don't learn from history. That must be human nature, too.
Yes, humans do suffer an insufferable conceit that their problems are somehow unique. However, if human problems were dispensed in a pastry shop, then the only novelty is an occasional new fruit in the pie: but pies, cakes, etc,. have been there forever.
My main point is that this is not a simply a baseball issue. Baseball gets huge $$$ from TV following the same principles that cause advertisers to pay X$/30 seconds to get their commercials on different shows and that cause viewers to pay Y$ / month so much to subscribe to cable.
That is money that players generate. If baseball gives TV a discount solely to deprive players of those $$$, then are advertisers & cable companies are going to pass that savings on to customers?
Agreed. Plus with many Dominican players, their families can extend way out past the typical wife and few kids. Chances are they are sending alot of money back home for uncles, cousins, etc. And also players are not only thinking about their immediate family, they also need to think about putting their kids thru college, their grandkids thru college etc.
Plus, yes his kids are set, but what about his grandkids and his great grandkids? I never have a problem with a player chasing the money.
The "Daryle" chant where Daryle Strawberry starts crying and Griffey Jr's "It's like there's a party in my mouth and everyone's invited" were my favorite parts of that Simpsons episode.. great episode!!!
Noticed Sutcliffe in the pictures at Tim's site. What is he doing these days? Is he just there on a business visit or is he "coaching" for a few weeks?
I was wondering the same thing. I loved seeing him standing next to Bos. What exactly is he doing at the Cubs site? He still looks great in Cubs gear!
There have been players who have walked away from some serious money. Didn't Ryne Sandberg walk away from millions in the 90′s. And last time I checked his kids weren't homeless after that.
I just want people to call things the way it is. Molina was every right to find the biggest fool to throw money at him. Just stop trying to gain one shred of sympathy from the regular "joe" who really does have to worry about his family.
I am with you 100%. I have no sympathy for the players or for ownership. Any of them make a lot more money than I will ever make in a year, and that includes the players that make the league minimum. The only people I feel bad for are the people that buy tickets and merchandise. These are the people that are truly wronged.
Ball players are uniquely talented individuals. They deserve the $$$ that they create. What you make is not relevant to this discussion.
I completely agree. 100%
Or, to quote Mark Knopfler: "That's the way you do, play your guitar on the MTV; that's the way you do it, get your money for nothin' and your chicks for free." Because that is directly comparable to moving microwave ovens, right?
Just because it is irrelevant to you doesn't make it irrelevant.
You feel that the people who willingly spend their money on something have been wronged?
Point taken about how much I make should not be relevant.
Maybe I feel wronged as I have been cheering for the Cubs since I was a tot and there is no way I can justify spending the kind of money it takes to go to a Cubs game. It costs me a little more than others as I am about a 5 hour drive away. I am sure that it would be more affordable if I lived up the road. I think that charging $200 for a jersey is ridiculous. I think that when I pay good money to watch the Cubs on MLB TV I shouldn't be blacked out when I am sitting 6 hours (I lived in a different town at the time) from Wrigley. I also have a big problem with the whole CBOE seats for auction thing.
OK, maybe I am just crying over spilled milk, but it seems that they will stop at nothing to squeeze every cent out of each and every fan. By pulling games from WGN they are reducing their chances of gaining more fans across the country. That is why the Cubs have so many fans, the availability of watching the games in Idaho, Alabama, Nevada, etc. There is a lot of frustration with this ball club over the years and this all adds to it.
I will stop crying now.
Ryno walked away from that contract out of spite as he was going through a divorce.
The divorce happened later, albeit not much later. Cindy Sandberg (don't know what she goes by now) was standing right behind him during the press conference. Ryno's retirement probably sped up the divorce: supposedly she coveted the spotlight Ryno could have had if he had been a bit more extroverted, and his walking away didn't help. (There are plenty of fairly unpleasant stories about other things that didn't help, too, but I have no idea if they are true.)
Brett that Deadspin article is great, thanks for the link!
Without Pena at 1B Cubs will get a good look at Castro's capabilities at SS because Pena saved many of his throws. When it becomes obvious Lahair is no Pena, maybe then there will be a serious discussion as to whether Castro is the SS of the future.
Yes, It will be a telling year for Castro. Pena certainly saved Castro's behind on numerous occasions, for sure. But I would also say Castro attempted plays that a lot of short stops only dream about.
Good point. I think that we will find out what both of them are capable of in the field. I have a feeling that Castro will become our second baseman of the future, and LaHair may become our left fielder of the second half of the season.
So we should count out Castro at SS because LaHair is not as good of a first-baseman as Pena? Very short-sighted if you ask me, Rizzo is supposedly a good defensive 1B, so it's only going to be one season at the most of sub-par defense at 1B.
I don't know why you have it out for Castro, the guy has the range and arm to be a very good SS, maybe not Gold Glove material but if Jeter can pull the wool over the voters eyes, it's possible Castro's offense will trick voters into thinking he is a GG SS.
Castro is going to be fine at SS, he's 21 for god's sake, give him some time to adjust and learn.
Thanks for the link. We held off on launching that series for awhile, hoping the Theo compensation issue would be resolved. Now that we went ahead and launched, I can pretty much guarantee that if someone off the 40 man is taken, it will be one of the guys that I've already published. Joe Han takes over the series in early March, and then Jordan Campbell should finish up.
I hadn't visited the Cubbies Crib prior to the link. I am currently spending some time going through the ones that you have already written. NIce work.
Doug Mead graded the cubs offseason as a D+.. I'm inclined to agree with him.. Our payroll is going to be just under $100 million, and everybody seems to be fine with it.. Watching a bunch of so-called big league players won't be anywhere near as fun as watching Prince mash 50 hrs.. Everybodys drinking the "prospect" kool-aid, buying into the hype.. You know who never rebuilds, the freaking Yankees.. They simply "re-tool".. If they have a bad contract on their books they eat it and move on, meanwhile the cubs have been crying over sorianos contract for years, using that to justify not signing prince, what a joke.. The Yankees would have gotten rid of him, signed prince and yu, and freaking moved on.. It sucks how many cubs fans have their heads up managements asses. We deserve to watch a better team than this!!
But the Yankees didn't sign either Prince or Yu, despite the fact that they needed another starter (everybody does) and a DH.
Ya, and comparing any team to the Yankees, just isn't right, they have a US Mint located beneath the "Short Porch" in right.
Also, do you seriously want Prince Fielder on the Cubs for a 9 year, $230M+ contract?
In small fairness to reality check, one of the truly maddening things about being a Cubs fan over the last 35 years is the number of times big name free agents afterwards mentioned that their agent(s) approached the Cubs but were told "we are going with someone else." None of those "someone elses" ever amounted to anything.
I agree with some of this. It's easy for some to preach patience in Jan/Feb. It's going to be a long season, but hopefully the team on the field the 2nd half is much different than opening day. This will be Theo's first time going through a 70-win season, I expect him to make some big time moves beginning at the all-start break and then next offseason.
Why a D+, if Doug Mead's criteria was who signed the most expensive FA's then the Cubs should've been graded an F. Who knows what Doug freakin Mead's criteria was but in reading his bio he chooses Russell over Jordan so, that explains it all right there.
I'm not sure what you were expecting, the message was pretty clear that we're going to re-build but if Hendry had left us with ANYTHING than maybe it would have been a re-load. I would have done the exact same things as this front office in trying to clear the books and start over. If you think this team is bad now, just wait until the trade deadline when we wave bye-bye to Garza, Byrd, Dempster, Soriano (please), Corpas, Sonnestine, Marmol, and Soto. The reason why everyone is drinking the "prospect Kool-Aid" is because those are the players that will we be on our team in the future. It's funny your name is Reality Check because you're the only one who actually needs one.
The current Yankees run was fueled by re-building in the early 90s. Jeter, Posada, Bernie Williams became the core of the late 90s/early 2000s World Series champs. Then they started spending on free agents to keep the division titles coming.
The Cubs are nowhere near that level, giving out a bloated contract so you could watch Prince mash 50 HRs a season is not going to make this team better in the long run.
You are right that we Cub fans deserve a better team to watch but not using the same blueprint that the Tribune Co. stuck us with for 30 years.
Hey reality, give it a rest.
We didn't want that fat tub of goo anyway. He belongs in the other league. In a few years he won't be able to waddle around the bases any more, then we'd be stuck with another Soriano-like contract.
If you like the hated Yankees so much, just toddle your little a$$ over there and root for them. Your so-called terrible Cubs management can probably muddle along without you.
Reality check,
Become a Yankee fan.
So, let me get this straight, Reality Check is Jim Hendry?.
Doc.. If the Yankees had the Cubs payroll, do you really think they wouldn't have signed Prince and Yu.. Of course they would have and you know it and that's the point I was making.. Rebuild all you want, but that shouldn't preclude you from signing proven stars in their prime, like prince.. As a fan I hate when fans act like it's their money that's being spent.. I want the jerk billionaire who talked a big game coming in, to spend some of his millions to field the best team he can, which is what the Yankees have always done.. The Yankees don't cry about money, the cubs do. While it's true the cubs can't spend dollar for dollar with the Yankees a $98mil payroll is totally unacceptable.. Hoe bad ass would it have been to see the cubs make all their current offseason moves, but sign Garza, then get Yu and Prince..that would have been sick!! And the reason we didn't sign them was because we're rebuilding?? What a joke.. Like I said the Yankees fans get treated better by their team than us cubs fans, who keep showing up anyways.. Who says you can't rebuild around a 27 yr old power hitter and a 26 yr old 6′ 5″ Japanese power pitcher, also in his prime.. Are you guys freaking kidding me??.. I'd have to be a complete moron to agree with some of you..
"…I'd have to be a complete moron to agree with some of you.."
Oh, there's plenty of people here who share your view; I gladly concur with your self-assessment.
And also, stop saying prince is fat, and stop saying he's going to break down because that's stupid.. It's not his fault the guy was born with big bones..he will always be big, and carry more weight, but it's not because he's fat or lazy, and it's not because he doesn't eat healthy, because he does. The fact also is he's never missed significant time, or even a single game I think, because of injury.. He's a horse. You guys are cubs fans, what are you all blind or something?? Only Albert killed us more, barely. Every time Prince batted against the cubs I shit my pants. You guys don't want that on your team? Then you're just stupid. The Tigers got a freaking beast who would have caved Wrigley's walls in with his line drives, but instead we get a prospect, and the cubs kept the money.. Oh yeah, and then raised ticket prices.. I guess you're all right, that makes perfect sense..as a cubs fan I'm used to getting screwed by management, we all are.. But this is just sad to see we're not even trying to sign great players in their prime.. Oh and seriously stop crying about soriano, the guy helped bring us two division titles and a shot to get to the world series in his prime, if the cubs had finished either year by going all the way, and they could have, you would all sing soriano and hendrys praise.. At least Hendry rolled the dice and gave fans a reason to hope.. I see no hope this year for sure, and for probably a couple more years than that based on how things are going.. I'm sorry to sound like a downer but I'm a realist, and everything I said is true.
Hey Brett, just wanted to say thank for linking that article on "Homer at the Bat." The episode holds a special place for me in my childhood memories, and this article was a fantastic read. Thanks again, and keep up the great work on the site.

US5 (3.75 mm) DPNs OR circular needles if using the Magic loop method.
Note: The author used the magic loop method to construct the mittens, including the thumb. You can also use two circular needles, double pointed needles, or a combination of the two methods (magic loop or two circular needles for the hand, with double pointed needles for the thumb).
24 sts per 4" (10 cm)Finished Measurements
7 1/2" (19.1 cm) circumference (about a women's size Medium)Instructions
Cast on 44 sts in MC. Arrange as evenly as possible on two circular or four double pointed needles. PM and join. Work K1, P1 ribbing for 3" (7.6 cm).Change to SS. Knit one row, increasing one stitch at the end of the row. Total stitches: 45. Knit 1 round even.
Begin thumb gusset. Knit across 22 sts, PM. MIL, K1, MIR, PM. Knit to end. Total sts: 47; 3 gusset sts between markers. Knit 1 round even.
Knit increase round: Knit to marker, MIL, knit to next marker, MIR, slip marker, knit to end (you will increase two sts in every increase round). Increase in this manner every fourth round, until you have 15 sts between markers.
On the next round, place the sts between the markers (gusset sts) on waste yarn or stitch holder. Remove gusset markers, and increase 1 st on the left hand needle to close the gap. Knit to the end of the round. Total sts: 45.
Next round: change to CC, knit 3 rows.

Ruth Bendig's pattern was taken with permission from Wooly Headed.Please note that the patterns and tutorials you find here have been designed by Harry Potter fans all over the Internet. The authors alone hold the copyrights and licences to these patterns and tutorials, which means you CANNOT use their patterns to make something that you will sell to others afterwards. You can use them to make things for yourself. You can make some for your friends and ask them to pay for supplies. You CANNOT, however, ask them to pay you to do it as though you had created this pattern by yourself, or try to sell you crafts to a local store.
Think about it. Would you take a Prisoner of Azkaban book, photocopy it, put your name in big red letters on the front cover and try to sell it in your local library? The answer is, obviously, no. Well, selling crafts you have made but not designed would be just as bad!
Also note that the tutorials, recipes and patterns found here have not been tested and that The Leaky Cauldron's Harry Potter Crafts section is not responsible for any mistakes they may contain. If you do find something wrong in one of them, however, please e-mail us to let us know.

The weather will be nice Friday in Metro Atlanta.
High pressure will continue to build into the region, which will result in mostly clear skies.
The counter-clockwise flow around an area of low pressure in the northeast will create a northwest wind in Atlanta. This will result in below average temperatures with a cold morning, mild afternoon, and cool evening.
The next storm system will approach next week, giving Atlanta its next chance of rain next Wednesday.

Presentation - Madada Mogador
Madada Mogador, dominated by the ocean, is an intimate address hidden behind the ramparts, close to the port, souks and beaches. The magic of the place is created by a subtle alliance between orientalism and zen. A different art de vivre where silence and intimacy invites you to relax.
In a refined, contemporary style, Madada Mogador has been conceived in the spirit of a loft.
On the 1st floor, 4 bedrooms - 2 with private balcony - articulate around the central patio, illuminated by recess lighting. On the beautiful terrace, 3 supplementary bedrooms with a magnificent ocean view
This intimate address behind the ramparts crenellating the town, a stones throw from the port, souks and beach has inherited an environment and an extraordinary location, wrote an enthusiastic critic

I am very pleased with the Husker products I ordered and received from here! I used them for our son's graduation party. The design was awesome and worked perfectly with all my decorations. What I loved the most about the product was the turn around time I received them and the PRICE! I found some similar to the design at a local store and they were 3x what I paid here! KUDOS to them! I will purchase from you again!

Hain Pure Foods Sunflower Oil -- 32 fl oz
Hain Pure Foods Sunflower Oil
Have used this oil for my homemade salad dressing for years. Never a fail.
June 1, 2013
perfect for home made mayonnaise!!
Sunflower oil seems to be the best option for making mayonnaise, have tried pretty much every other oil. The taste of Hain is light and perfect for mayo, and the price is right too!! Can't find a price this good on sunflower oil anywhere else!!
March 24, 2013
Quality Sunflower Oil
I liked this sunflower oil for sauteing and salad dressings. It doesnt burn easy and has a very light flavor. I would buy it again if I coundn't find my favorite brand in the store. This comes in a plastic bottle and I prefer glass.
December 16, 2011
good salad, potato oil
eat lots of this but is not for cooking. cook only with coconut, palm or animal fat.

SWAT team came to the rescue in N.J. post-Sandy recovery
"The problem is I'm in Virginia, and there's nobody in New Jersey with a key to the parking lot," he told Goetting. "You can't get in for another day when I get a key up there."
That didn't daunt Goetting, who was working out of a state police emergency command center.
"I said if you say it's all right, I can order a SWAT team to take down the fence," Goetting told Scholz.
"The highlight of the storm for me was, thanks to Gil, I was able to order the state police SWAT team to open the gates," he said. "And we built a tent city that housed 4,000 workers. None of that was in place before the storm."
Without his connections and relationship with Medina, those tent cities may not have found a location, according to Goetting.
"In the future, we need to have those relationships instilled," he said. "We can't rely on the network of friends and business associates. The state needs to do a much better job in working with you all to understand what are the resources, where are the places we can turn in the case of that emergency."
He added, "For all of you that control 10 or 15 acres of flat parking who I didn't call, I apologize. But please let us know, and you'll be on the list."
In turn, Medina gave Goetting props for his dedication, helping the state's citizens in the emergency when his his own home, shore house and mother's home had been flooded by Sandy.

I'm also only a beginner, having only surfed a few times on our North Devon coast, and want to improve and practice, so I don't want to go anywhere with massive waves! Can you suggest anywhere within cheap flight distance? I thought Portugal, but maybe spain would be better?

Hike to Pacaya lava field
Visit colourful Indian villages
Learn about Mayan culture
The central highlands of Guatemala are a true paradise for walkers. Formed by intense activity along the Pacific Ring of Fire, lofty volcanoes are commonplace, and on this trip we ascend to the summit of several of the most accessible peaks.
The scenery is dramatic throughout, especially in the range surrounding beautiful Lake Atitlan. Here, we hike through traditional Indian villages, coffee plantations and cloud forest as we climb peaks which offer staggering views.
Although most of the volcanoes are now dormant, we walk to the lava fields of active Pacaya and to the steaming crater of Cerro Quemado. As well as the fantastic walking on offer, there is plenty of time to delve into the local culture and find out more about the Mayan Indians who live in the highlands.
The colonial city of Antigua is a photographer's dream with its colourful low houses and the ruins of churches destroyed by the earthquakes which have rocked Guatemala over the centuries.
What makes this trip responsible?
Whilst trekking, camp staff prepare breakfasts and dinners using food obtained in local markets, ensuring money is spent in the local community. There are various opportunities for interaction with locals, including artists and weavers co-operatives. This helps to foster cultural understanding and keeps traditions alive.

The San Luis Obispo Railroad Museum at 1940 Santa Barbara St. is set to officially open on Saturday. (Jamie Foster) |
San Luis Obispo on Saturday is marking the grand opening of a new railroad museum that's housed in a Southern Pacific freight house built around 1894. The museum tells the story of the city's important 19th century link in the coastal rail line that joined San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Exhibits and displays detail the old narrow-gauge Pacific Coast Railway that ran between Avila Beach and San Luis Obispo, the difficult tunnel and track work along the Cuesta Grade (a route Amtrak's Coast Starlight still chugs along today) and the arrival of the Southern Pacific Railroad.
The long-awaited opening (it's been 20 years since the city and the nonprofit museum teamed up to make it happen) coincides with the fifth Central Coast Railroad Festival this weekend in San Luis Obispo and nearby locations.
The museum at 1940 Santa Barbara St., near the existing Amtrak station, is to hold an opening ceremony starting at 11:30 a.m. with comments from its board members and the mayor, followed by a reading of "Engine Number Ten" by author Rose Ann Woolpert, model railroad and historical displays, musical performances and tours.
Events are free and open to the public. The museum will be open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. the second Saturday of each month.
The Central Coast Railroad Festival starts Thursday with private rail-car trips from L.A. to San Francisco on the Silver Splendor and continues with entertainment, railroad shows and more train trips over the weekend, ending Sunday.

actually the process is easier for most mac programs, you don't have to go through the registration hack like most pc programs
Printable View
I would spend $3000 more to get a Mac.
It is just better quality, it never treats me bad, and it is far superior for a/v applications.
Beautiful to look at at, joy to use.
With so much of our time spent behind the screen, why not buy the best.
Just typing on this keyboard is fun. Apple is awesome. I've had both. No comp.
I have owned more than a few macs over the years, and have really never had an issue with hardware failing on my computers (iPods failing is another issue). And the issue about hardware failure is a lot harder to repair doesn't make sense, unless you are referring to the motherboard, which is about impossible to fix or replace. A hard drive is a hard drive, a video card is a video card, and RAM is RAM. All pretty easy to fix on a mac, with the same parts that you would use to fix a PC with. I have fixed plenty of macs in my time (more like upgrades, but the same process), and except for an ibook HD replacement, everything was pretty easy.
No one will argue that Macs are more expensive than PCs. Its true. Some will pay for it, some would rather take the money and build their own PC. To each their own.
I suppose that's true, but I like the option of having it anyway. Yes, I know what that makes me.
Actually, the motherboard was what went wrong in the instance that I heard about. For whatever reason that I still don't understand, the person who told me about this also wasn't able to retrieve any of the data from the hard drive either.
