Keep Unlimited Data with Verizon Upgrade
I'm on a plan by myself with Verizon, currently due for an upgrade. It appears my options are either A) pay "full" price for new phone B) pay $20/month more and now have limited data C) don't upgrade. I don't find any of these to be acceptable, and I know you guys are crafty. I've chatted up CS and they won't help. Even if I could sell or give away my contract, switching carriers isn't really an option as no one else has 4G around me.How do I beat them?! |
I guess I'll stick to my Thunderbolt for now and hope we get lucky with some special offer that pops up. At least it FINALLY got upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich. No way I'm committing to another two years at that price though. When these next 10 months are up maybe Sprint will have 4G here in Gainesville and I can make the switch. And who knows, maybe when the contract is up and I can really commit to leaving they'll be accommodating.

A non-profit organization called DoSomething.org is calling on teenagers to help make the world a better place.
The organization has several different campaigns that allow teens to become leaders in their community. Several local teenagers are bringing one of those campaigns to East Texas.
Jeans for teens. Give a pair for the ones in need.
We'll take capris and anything in between.
It will be greatly appreciated.
Old ones, new ones, even the ones that are faded.
That is a poem Melanie Luna's friend wrote about the campaign she is bringing to Henderson High School. The campaign is called Teens for Jeans.
"I want every teenager out there to have a pair of jeans," Luna says.
Luna signed up to get a free banner from DoSomething.org and asked her school to help her collect jeans for homeless teens in the United States.
"I want to make a difference today and every other day," says Luna.
According to DoSomething.org, jeans are the number one requested item by teens in homeless shelters.
Ivon Abeldano, also a student at Henderson High School, is helping Luna. She says teens need to realize they can make a difference.
"I'm pretty sure there's a lot of people that would like to help they just don't know where to start from," says Abeldano.
The two say people can help them by dropping off any pair of unwanted, gently used jeans. The girls have already donated more than 20 pairs of their own jeans.
"Look in your closet, look at what you have, and if you're going to donate it, donate it to someone that is in need," Abeldano says.
Luna says she hopes to inspire other teens to start similar campaigns. She is also planning on leading an anti-bullying campaign at her school.
If you would like to donate to Teens for Jeans, you can drop off any size and brand of jeans at Henderson High School. The school will be collecting jeans until February 10th. After that, the jeans will be taken to the Aeropostale at the Longview mall, shipped to New York, and distributed to homeless shelters across the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico.

Pional Invisible/Amenaza
The name of Madrid-based producer Pional (a.k.a. Miguel Barros) is probably recognizable to even some casual listeners of house music, as his association with the critically acclaimed John Talabot has tangentially thrust him into the spotlight. However, while Pional has recorded and toured with Talabot, his own output has thus far been limited to a smattering of limited-edition 12" releases. That is set to change with Invisible/Amenaza, a four-track EP for the UK-based Young Turks label that finds Pional laying his wistful, pop vocals over amenable, disco-informed beats. Read more »

The city's artistic community took a hard hit during Hurricane Sandy, as not only were many gallery and art spaces flooded, countless artists lost some or even all of their work. Now, a new exhibit marks the storm's anniversary and also shares some new feelings about making art. NY1's Stephanie Simon filed the following report.
Brooklyn artist Diana Cooper created a new work of art for the exhibit "Coming Together: Survivng Sandy," taking place at Industry City. The water pipe is an unusual choice of material because, as she says, water is not her friend. Cooper lost most of her life's work when her storage facility in Lower Manhattan flooded.
"It's amazing to think that it's been a year already and I feel that I can actually talk about it," Cooper says. "At the time, I was pretty devastated because I lost a span of 20 years of work.
Looking ahead, Cooper will choose heartier materials, including wood instead of foam core. She adds, "I will never put something irreplaceable in a basement ever again in my life."
More than 300 New York artists are showing works in the new exhibit, including G.T. Pellizzi. For him, post-Hurricane Sandy means trying to rebuild a series of works he lost and taking on issues like global warming.
Part of his exhibit is actually remnants of a previous installation.
"It's such a fragmented and distributed, you know, like all this, it's like the remnants of the exhibition in a sense," Pellizzi says. "So it kind of like has this quality of remains.
This isn't the first time Industry City has opened its doors to artists impacted by Hurricane Sandy. In the days after the storm, a triage of sorts was set up there so that artists could bring their water-damaged works to be looked at by conservators who had set up shop here.
The exhibit's title "Coming Together" reflects the many ways artists and friends helped out after the storm.
Phong Bui is the curator of the show. "Myself have 80 percent, 90 percent of my works in the last 25 years were destroyed," says Phong Bui, the curator of the show.
Bui says this show is celebrates the communities strength but also is an attempt to recreate the huge part of our artistic and cultural history that was lost.
The exhibit is open Thursdays through Sundays from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. through December 15. Industry City is located at 220 36th Street in Brooklyn.

Wow that's to bad that LA is now closed, all though I must say, I've not been much of a fan of star wars game sense the likes of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 1&2), Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast & Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, Star Wars: Republic Commando! But then again who know what could happen in the future! More so now that Disney owns the rights for everything Movie and or Video Games?! Will just have to wait, (we know how to do that don't we lol) and see. Happy gaming all!
Amazing how few people seem to have read any novels or accurately recall the original 3. The Republic Commando series is a very good read, especially if you like Mandalorians. Tales from the Most Eisley Cantina if not bad, for those who don't mind reading.
As for how others think of Jedi, we'll at best the general (Re)public view them as cops.Again, read something besides a comic.
"Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a blaster at your side"
-Han Solo- Episode iv
Am I the only one who's always enjoyed the stories and lifestyles of Bounty Hunters over Force users in the Star Wars universe?
Looking forward to this game even though there are no jedi or sith it still seems like its got a compelling storyline.
1313 stays true to its Star Wars roots, but explores a darker, grimier approach to the sci-fi formula. I hope this works out well. Anyway, the whole point of the game is to showcase the talents at the various Lucas departments, and so far, they've wowed a lot of people.
A wonderful sci-fi world to immerse myself into after mass effect. I' m looking forward to it.
thank god its not another jedi sith crap fest.... starwars universe has so much more to offer than light sabers and good vs evil
the game look VERY promising... dare I say it might be the best SW game of all time ever since the franchise went into the gaming world, mass effect = starwars might just work out very well... but we wait and see...
if the in game graphics are the same as the "video" then its the best graphics i have seen ...ever
just found out that this game will not have any multiplayer or co-op. Normally i would not mind that, but this game would be epic if it had co-op and competitive multiplay.
i will just say what my heart wants...............BATTLEFRONT 3
i hope the force is mentioned somewhere. i would like to get an opinion from the regular people in the star wars universe. they would most likely view the jedi as most people view our religions. anyway, it sure looks nice.
damn this looks good... gotta hand it to LucasArts for trying something so mature and unique within such an already well established franchise. Im calling the start of a meta franchise right here..
I'm trying to be cautious with my enthusiasm, but I must say that it certainly has potential.
its always nice to see a change in a formula once in awhile but 1313 doesn't scream excitement buy me yet. I'll keep an eye on it but I still want a rpg not just another run of the mill shooter/action game.
1) Star Wars wouldn't be today what it is,if there were no Jedi and Sith in it!
2) Game might be good or no, depends on player who plays it. Some might like it, love it or hate it.
3) While I love Jedi and Sith ( even though in every game, every other class outmatches them it seems ), I still like to see games with them in it.
4) Personally this game does little to me in terms of buying it or playing, it interests me enough to check little about it when it comes out.
5) Game will probably boring, short and very linear.
6) Haters and 12-year olds will start replying with posts, that I hate this game. because it's no Jedi or Sith ( even though I am 80% sure, that u will have to fight one or other in game ) to play.
7) Why do I say this game is boring? watch trailer:D
8) Haters start posting ur replies and as I know,put numbers like I did...u know u want to and u will
While I'm not that excited about this game in particular, I am sick of people thinking Star Wars is just about the Force users. While the Jedi are a huge part of the universe some of the best games, books and comics in the franchise have had nothing or very little to do with them. The Star Wars universe has expanded so far beyond the films that there is a story from nearly every kind of genre set within it.
There goes Mass Effect. Here comes 1313. This game will surely be a dreamwalk to the mankind.
@Valacan Nah, they didn't lie. We heard news that it was being developed despite the Disney acquisition. Then we heard it was canceled. Then we heard it wasn't canceled. Then we heart it MIGHT be. Then we heard it was still in development. Then it was "possibly" still in development. Then it was "on hiatus", but only for a bit. Then it was just "on hiatus." Then it was canceled. Now it's "being reimagined." Plenty of news.
@lekford he is a bounty hunter, he needs to be creepy looking for intimidation factor, chances are his targets will be ugly looking aliens who will make im look just right in comparison.
interesting comment considering rogue squadren is awesome also who says it wont have jedi? bad ass bounty hunter vs jedi/sith would make an awesome boss fight
@Iron_aufschlag i just find it really strange sometimes. Some games with tagged on multiplayer eg Dead Space 2, are abit poor. But games like this, Star Wars, sci fi shooter, with no co-op or competitive multiplayer just feels like a waste. I do hope they do add multiplayer.
@v3rtigoh @SubHumanTorch I don't think you understood his comment v3. He was saying there are so mnay more characters to the Star Wars franchise.
@v3rtigoh @SubHumanTorch DId you catch the entire comment section complaining how the game was NOT about Sith and Jedi?

Stuxnet: What Has Changed?
Department of Defense Analysis, Naval Postgraduate School, 589 Dyer Road, Monterey, CA 93943, USA
Received: 17 May 2012; in revised form: 25 June 2012 / Accepted: 11 July 2012 / Published: 16 July 2012

Abstract: This paper considers the impact of Stuxnet on cyber-attacks and cyber-defense. It first reviews trends in cyber-weapons and how Stuxnet fits into these trends. Because Stuxnet targeted an industrial control system in order to wreak physical damage, the focus is on weapons that target systems of that type and produce physical effects. The paper then examines the impact of Stuxnet on various domains of action where cyber-attacks play a role, including state-level conflict, terrorism, activism, crime, and pranks. For each domain, it considers the potential for new types of cyber-attacks, especially attacks against industrial control systems, and whether such attacks would be consistent with other trends in the domain. Finally, the paper considers the impact of Stuxnet on cyber-defense.
Keywords: cyber-attack; cyber-security; cyber-warfare; industrial control systems

Monday, January 31, 2005
I don't know about the rest of you, but I really look forward to five o'clock on Friday afternoons. That is the time that I am able to punch out of the office and head home for the next 64 hours! Sixty-four hours away from work to do whatever I want to do. I can go out with friends. I can sleep in as long as I want (Well, I used to be able to do that before I got the puppy!). I can bum around, or I can be as active as I want.
Have you ever had a weekend that was so much fun that you don't want to go back to work on Monday? Maybe I should re-phrase because I know that most Monday mornings I don't want to go back to work. OK. Have you ever had a weekend that turned out to be so disappointing that you actually don't dread the idea of going to work on Monday morning?
I can now say that I think I have. I know when I left work last Friday afternoon I had high hopes for a fun-filled weekend. It actually started out great. I mean, I left work and drove home, played with Abby for awhile, ate some hot wings, took a quick nap and then went out. But from that point on, it was rather disappointing.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not really one to complain often even when I am disappointed. But normally my disappointment is in myself. I am used to be disappointed with me. I have done some things that have made me upset at myself. Some days I am disappointed in what I've become. Other days I am upset about decisions I've made, or at least, the results of some decisions I've made.
One of the issues that make me most disappointed in myself is that I have allowed the thoughts and opinions of others to affect my thoughts and opinions. Again, I don't want that to sound contradictory. I completely appreciate hearing opinions from people whose opinions matter to me; my friends, family and some others. But, I find it important to take all of those opinions, and with them, develop my own opinion. I have stated on numerous occasions that is one of the reasons for this blog. I have my opinions, and through your e-mails and other reading I do, my opinions can be altered. But there are also times when I hear opposite opinions to mine and continue to believe what I believe.
That is the one thing that I am most disappointed in myself about from the last few months. I allowed the opinions of others on a topic change my opinion on said topic. Granted, their thoughts and observations and opinions may have been (ok, probably were) completely accurate, and I knew it. But that is not a good enough reason for me to alter my opinion. Forcing an opinion on another person may cause the intended results short-term, however, until those opinions are made and truly believed in the other person's head, they don't disappear. To me, it is only through your own study and research and, if I'm being blunt, real life situations that a person can develop their opinion. (No, I won't get into what the specific situation was, enough people know!)
OK, that is way too much information, but a blog is defined (in part) as "a personal journal", so I guess that is how we are going to start out today. (Note - there is other more typical information below, if you want to jump down to that.)
I won't get into any specifics, but let's just say that this weekend, I was disappointed in some others as well. But from that, I also realized that I have probably disappointed plenty of people in my time as well, so I am now over it. I know there are a lot of you who come to this site daily, hoping to get something new and interesting about the Minnesota Twins, other Minnesota teams, sports, movies, tv or something. I know that the last couple of weeks, I have probably disappointed a number of readers. Having learned from my weekend experience, I will do my best to put forth the kind of effort that you deserve to get when you come to this site. I want to maintain the readers that do come here, and hopefully gain some new ones.
So, first of all, I do want to apologize for not being up to par of late. I appreciate all of your thoughts and opinions on what you read here, or even what you don't read here.
I am going to need your help in doing this though. So please, I want to know what parts of this site you like reading (Twins? All baseball? Minnesota sports? Basketball? Football? TV? Movies? Personal stories?). I also would like to know what you really don't like. And finally, I have asked this pretty much every day, but I am always looking for ideas for new, interesting articles. This is especially helpful in the offseason! I know that the Twins pitcher and catchers report to Ft. Myers on February 20th, so we are getting close!!! But please, feel free to e-mail me and let me know exactly what you think.
And finally, one more question for the readers. I have noticed that on a lot of other blogs, you will find a 'PayPal Donate' button. When it is clicked on, you would be able to donate money directly to my PayPal account. I have been hesitant to do that. I hate to ask for donations, and even if I put that link on here, I would never ask for a donation. I just keep thinking that the option would be ok. What do you think? I certainly don't want to offend anyone.
So, what does one do when they are annoyed/aggravated/disappointed? If you're me, you spend the weekend watching movies. I find that I like many different types of movies. I love no-thinking-necessary comedies sometimes. But other times, I want a movie that will challenge me and make me think. Sometimes I want to watch a sentimental movie that pulls the heart strings and other times a nice historical era movie is good too. Well, this weekend, I watched a few movies and covered all of the above categories. Here are my thoughts on the movies I watched:
This would be the historical, era movie of the weekend. Having grown up in a Lutheran family and gone to a Lutheran school from first through eighth grade (and then to a Lutheran college), I had heard the Luther story on numerous occasions. Man, I've written too many papers on the man. From his walk in the storm where he gave himself to God, to becoming a monk. From his questioning of John Tetzel and the Catholic church's sale of indulgences, to the battles that ensued throughout Europe. Obviously there were many other issues that Luther had with much of the dogma of the Catholic church. His goal/purpose was to say that the church should follow what is said in scripture. As he said frequently in the movie, "Prove to me with scripture and I will recant." For what it is worth, it makes me completely appreciate the need for separation of church and state!
There are so many sides to the Luther story that a movie could take. This movie takes a fairly historically accurate look at Luther as a hero, a man who fought against authority (the corruption of the Catholic church at that time) for what he believed in until change was made. It shows Luther as a man who changed the world, literally, and that is accurate. And in that story, it was well done. And that was the goal of the movie. Was there any mention in the movie about just how anti-Semitic Luther was? Not even a mention.
Another interesting thought is this: Mel Gibson was bashed by some who felt that The Passion of the Christ was anti-Semetic. Of course, I didn't see that in the movie. If that movie was criticized as anti-Semetic, why wasn't Luther described as anti-Catholic? Because that is absolutely something that I can see. Actually, I don't even think it is hidden. That said, it is an historic movie, based on a man who was not only upset about the corrupt sale of indulgences, but a man who questioned every bit of the Catholic church's authority. My guess as to why it didn't get as much negative publicity as The Passion of the Christ is because it clearly was not going to be a movie that the masses would flock to.
I really think that Joseph Fiennes did a great job of portraying Martin Luther. He showed anger, frustration and care all very well.
All in all, Luther is a watchable movie. However, when you watch it, you have to realize what type of movie you are watching and from what perspective the story is told.
This would be the suspenseful film of the weekend. It seems to me that people either like or dislike M. Night Shyamalan's movies (The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs). Personally, I really enjoyed The Sixth Sense and Signs. There is a consistency about Shyamalan's movies that is enjoyable in my opinion. I don't like scary movies, but I love suspenseful movies. I like the fact that the "creatures" in his movies are rarely actually seen. There may be some movement and sounds, but rarely do you see them, and if you do, it is a very quick view. Just enough to scare you! (ok, scare me!) So yes, I am an M. Night Shyamalan fan, and I can admit that!
In this movie, there is a group of men and women who have moved to a large area deep in the woods. They have had kids and added to their families in this village. No one enters the village and no one leaves the village. Why? Because the wooded area that surrounds the village are inhabited with some creatures. When the group started the village, they made a pact with the creatures that they would each stay out of each other's locales. Lucious decides that he wants to go to the towns for medicines and other supplies, so he goes just a little ways into the woods. Each time someone treks into the woods, even just a little, the creatures skin an animal and throw it into the village, just to show that they are serious. If someone treks into the woods too far, a creature comes into the village. Residents must rush into their homes and not let the creatures in.
I have to admit that from a suspense standpoint, this movie does a great job. From a storyline, it is good, until the situation is resolves at which time I thought, "That is really dumb!" But the story then takes a new direction that keeps your attention again.
I thought the acting was excellent, led by Joaquin Phoenix. I thought the plot was good, even with the hiccup. How would I rank it in comparison to his other movies? I haven't seen Unbreakable, so I can't compare to that one. I would rank them The Sixth Sense, then Signs, then The Village. Now, that isn't to say it is a bad movie. I just didn't think it was as good as the other two.
Here is the no-need-to-think comedy! It isn't hard to figure that out there. Look at the cast. Seth Green (Dan), Matthew Lillard (Jerry) and Dax Shepherd (Tom)! I mean, I see those names and I'm not looking for anything too deep or thought-provoking. And that is just fine with me!
The movie starts with four young boys who do everything together. They dress alike, build forts and tree houses, typical boy things. After high school, they all go their separate ways. One becomes a doctor. One becomes a businessman. One is just a really good liar and can't really keep jobs anywhere. The fourth friend went out and did many things, but at the age of 30, he dies. Dan, Tom and Jerry come home for the funeral. They drink a little bit and end up in their old tree house. They find a box that they are not to open until they find the buried treasure that was lost deep in the forests of Oregon. They decide that now might be their last opportunity to make such a crazy decision to go on a treasure hunt.
What ensues is a series of funny events involving the three characters and nature at its finest. There is a situation with a bear. Plenty of problems because of the river and the rest of the wild terrain. Of course, they encounter other unforeseen problems that put them in grave danger.
This is a very funny movie. There isn't a lot of deep plot, but as I've said, that isn't what you should expect from the movie. I think it is an excellent movie as I laughed frequently throughout. If you're in a laughing mood, you will enjoy it.
I have actually heard mixed reviews for this movie. Some have told me that it is too weird and hard to follow. To me, that was a challenge worth taking. I have liked Josh Hartnett movies in the past, and he's from Minnesota, so I figured I would give it a look.
What did I find? That indeed, it was a weird movie that was hard to follow. I have to admit that throughout the first half of the movie, I was watching closely and asking myself what was going on. As the movie starts, Hartnett's character, Matthew, is kind of with Rebecca. But a series of visions and flashbacks of memories, encourage him to look for Lisa, an ex that he thinks is in town. OK, it becomes an obsession to find her. There seem to be clues and hints that she is leaving for him all over the place, and he takes the bait each time, hoping that it is her. There is another woman that plays a huge role in the movie, if only to completely confuse the situation!
Remember how above I said that when I think about Matthew Lillard, I think comedy. Well, he played the role of Luke in this movie. He does an excellent job in this drama playing, well, a man full of drama, yet a great friend to Matthew. I thought that Hartnett was good again, even though I don't think that he emotes as much energy as he should at times. Rose Byrne plays "Alex" and I thought her acting job was the best in the whole movie and as good as I've seen. Of course, she played a very interesting character, but I thought she pulled it off great!
Through more flashbacks and memories, eventually the movie resolves itself. I love movies like this where I honestly don't know what is going on for most of the movie, but by the end, all of the loose ends are tied up and it just makes sense.
I really enjoyed the movie a lot. It is fairly long, but well worth watching.
I have to admit. I find the whole concept of the paparazzi fascinating. To think that these people are paid to take pictures of celebrities. Sure, their attendance at a premiere or anytime a red carpet involved is expected. But seeing when celebrities are photographed on the beach when they are vacationing, or near their homes, or in other compromising positions, you just have to wonder how the photographer got in position for such pictures. You have to wonder about what steps they went through to get "the perfect shot", a picture of a celebrity in such a bad position that they will be paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for that picture by the likes of the National Enquirer or E! Celebrities Uncensored. I wonder to what extreme they will go to get a picture that valuable. (lets not forget how Princess Diana died)
That is the basis for this movie. Bo Laramie (played by Cole Hauser) makes his first feature movie in Hollywood after moving there from Montana. He instantly becomes a celebrity and does a red carpet premiere. At first, he starts thinking that all of the attention is great. However, soon a corrupt group of four paparazzi follow him everywhere. They take pictures of his son playing soccer. They take pictures of his wife relaxing by the pool. They take pictures of them while they are driving in their car. Basically, they go out of their way to make this celebrity look bad.
After awhile, Bo gets fed up with it and decides to take matters into his own hands. Thankfully I don't think any actual Hollywood celebrities have gone to this extreme level to rid themselves of the annoyance. But the movie is made in such a way that, no matter how dumb and wrong what Bo Laramie does, he is made out to be the hero of the movie, and you sympathize with him.
Why is that? Well, of course Hollywood is going to make a movie about the paparazzi in a positive light. That was my first thought as I was watching the film. Hey, even Mel Gibson was one of the producers (Along with having a brief cameo).
As far as writing, directing (budget?), I wouldn't classify Paparazzi as a great movie. I mean, Daniel Baldwin plays an important role in it. I really like Cole Hauser. He has been in a bunch of really great movies in the last decade! I do think that the story line is relevant though, and that is why I think it is a worthwhile movie.
I have read in numerous places that this movie was snubbed and that it should be up for Best Movie. I have heard nothing but great things about it, so I decided it was time for me to watch it.
Eternal Sunshine is definitely a movie that has you thinking deeply, right from the start. I was baffled when 17 minutes into the movie, the credits rolled. So much plot had already happened and I was completely confused. Now what? That is what I was thinking.
Jim Carrey plays a fairly quiet, shy character named Joel. Kate Winslett played quirky, Jim Carrey-like character named Clementine. In the beginning of the movie, they meet and hit it off. But for some reason, she decides to do a procedure that removes all memories of him from her brain. When he finds that out, he wants to do the same.
That is where the movie becomes absolutely fascinating. Although he is asleep while the procedure is being performed, we get a glimpse into his thoughts and memories. We also get to see them disappearing. But we also get to see that he doesn't want to forget about her and that he really does care about her. There is a huge struggle between the computer program that is removing his memories of her and his brain trying to keep her there.
To me, that is the story. A man realizes after looking back on the series of memories he shared with Clementine, and only in doing that does he realize that he really does love her and wants to be with her. They both realize that it may not lead to happy endings or marriage or whatever, but they are happy with the opportunity to know each other and to share experiences together.
Kate Winslett was nominated for a Best Actress Oscar for her role, and deservingly so. The fact that Jim Carrey did not get nominated for Best Actor makes the whole thing a sham. And, of course, I have not seen all of the movies that were nominated for Best Picture, but to think that there are five movies better than Eternal Sunshine doesn't seem possible!
I really loved the movie. I totally want to see it again! I think seeing it a second time will maybe help me understand more. I would love to hear the thoughts of other people who have watched this movie. I have so many questions about it and think it would be fun to discuss! E-mail me.
If you'd like to discuss any of these movies, please e-mail me. I really wanted to rent Friday Night Lights, but it was never in when I was at the video store.
Late on Friday, it became increasingly clear that Sammy Sosa's time in Chicago was coming to an end. Well, I guess ever since he left the team on the last day of the season, it has been pretty obvious, but only on Friday did specifics become known.
What we know - Sosa will be taking a physical today, and assuming he passed it, he will become a member of the Baltimore Orioles. In exchange, the Cubs will receive OF/2B Jerry Hairston, Jr., 2B Mike Fontenot and P Dave Crouthers. The Cubs will also pay much of Sosa's $17 million salary.
Phil Rogers calls this trade a 'dump.' And you know what? It is. But, it is a good trade for both teams. First, Sammy Sosa was not going to be happy with the Cubs. His incredible 13 seasons as a Cub were full of so many highlights and positives. But last season was completely different. Really, ever since the corked bat, Sosa has not been the same icon. Last year, he had the unfortunate 'sneeze' injury. By the end of the year, he was being booed. Had Sammy stayed in Chicago, his presence would have been a distraction to a team that should contend in the National League in 2005. His disputes with manager Dusty Baker are well chronicled. Sosa will now fit into a lineup that includes Miguel Tejada, Rafael Palmiero, Javy Lopez, and Melvin Mora. Granted, the Orioles will still have to fight just to finish third in the AL East, but by making a move, it looks like they're at least trying to do something.
The Cubs receive a decent outfielder in Hairston. However, he has been a second baseman his entire career until last year when Brian Roberts was incredible and Hairston was moved all over the outfield. He should start in either right or left for the Cubs. Mike Fontenot is a highly rated 2B prospect just a couple of years out of LSU. The Cubs current 2B Todd Walker, another LSU alum, was signed for just one year, so Fontenot should be the Cubs 2B for years to come after that. And, you can never have enough pitching, so Crouthers could help out in the bullpen, or provide depth in the rotation should their starters face injuries again in 2005.
Now, as I understand it, Sosa had a clause in his contract that said if the Cubs traded him at any time, he would have his option for the 2006 season picked up by the new team at $18 million. However, as part of this deal, Sosa agreed to waive that portion of the contract. I am almost surprised that the Players Union would go along with that, but I really do think it is the right decision for Sosa. Here is why:
First, had he stayed in Chicago, he would have (likely) been miserable and at the season, he would have become a free agent. Now, he will play in Baltimore (With good friend Miguel Tejada), probably be happy, and at the end of the season, he won't have the $18.5 million contract for 2006, but instead will be a free agent. So essentially the only difference created by waiving that clause is that he will play the 2005 season happy! If he hadn't waived the clause, the Orioles would not have traded for him.
What do you think of the trade, Sosa, the Cubs or the O's? E-mail me.
The Twins held Twins Fest at the Metrodome all weekend. Fans were met by current, former and future Twins. Players were available at certain times for autographs and pictures. With their presence in town, there were plenty of quality articles in the local newspapers on the team.Brad Radke to start opener - I like the move. The curious part is that Kyle Lohse will start Game 4, the home opener. I would have scheduled for Johan Santana to pitch that game!
Johan Santana Popular at Twins Fest - Surprise, Surprise!
Joe Mauer is Healthy - Great news!! We'll see once training camp starts, but our fingers will be crossed!
But Mike Redmond Will Be Ready - Well, he is better than Henry Blanco!! And, he's a friend of Dan Monson's!!
Apparently Blanco Isn't Sure What Happened - Curious! But... oh well!
Punto Leading Candidate for SS? - Or Bartlett, or Castro, or... We'll see!
Bob Casey Update - He's been in the hospital and may not be the Twins PA guy on opening day.
Also, it is curious that the Twins signed OF Armando Rios to a minor league deal over the weekend. The paper says that it is a controversial signing because Rios admitted to steroid use in 2003, when he was a member of the Chicago White Sox. He spent last season in the minor leagues. To me, it is a controversial signing because of what happened between Rios and the White Sox and the Twins, specifically LaTroy Hawkins in an on-field altercation. But then again, the White Sox now have AJ Pierzynski, so apparently things like that mean nothing anymore! Of course, you can also ask why signing Rios makes any sense for a team with four quality OF and Michael Restovich, Mike Ryan, Jason Tyner, Todd Dunwoody, Josh Rabe and others.
Be sure to vote for the Twins Hall of Fame!!
Have a great day and week! If you have any questions, comments, or ideas for future articles, please e-mail me. I am still checking my e-mail frequently.

By now just about every Denver Broncos fan in the universe, unless he or she has been living in a cave, is well aware that the team lost a preseason game to the Dallas Cowboys Saturday night.
And for a lot of Broncos fans, the right time to panic is as soon as the first thing goes wrong.
Well, relax.
During preseason the coaches work until very late, easily midnight some night, and the players have meetings well into the night as well, certainly until 9 or so.
There are a lot of different aspects of the game with which they all must become familiar, the practices are hard, the days are hot and long, and you always want to win.
But the games don't count.
By my math, the Indianapolis Colts recently broke a nine-game preseason losing streak, and we all know what the Colts have done during regular season play recently.
It is always better to win, and that's what the Broncos always want to do. But win or lose you still have to get ready for the only real goal, which is the regular season.
Much is made of every aspect of play that did not go well, but fixing things is part of what the preseason is about, and that is the focus of every coaching staff in the National Football League at this time.
Most teams have problem areas which they are trying to make better, positions for which they would like to acquire more talent or depth, and even if things seem perfect, coaches know that the next problem is right around the corner if you are not working to be ready for it.
The Broncos have two World Championship trophies resting in the lobby of the team headquarters, and both of them were won, and awarded, following a grueling regular and postseason that respectively lasted 20 (1997) and 19 (1998) games.
They give the trophies out at the end.
Don't panic at the start.

Tongue Sticks Out On Menus Across SF
Long a staple of izakayas and taquerias in San Francisco, tongue meat has started to break ethnic barriers, slipping its way onto California-influenced menus of every stripe. Chefs adore its flavor and its texture. Diners fall into one or two camps: "Why not?" or just "Why?" Love it or hate it, menu sightings of animal tongue are becoming almost common at popular restaurants around town. Over the course of interviewing several chefs about it, descriptors like "melt in your mouth," "unctuous" and "delicate" were each dropped on several occasions. Naysayers, are you ready to be convinced? Take a look at what chefs are doing with it around town these days. Maybe it'll get you to watch your mouth.

I hope they release a new Figma Armoured Saber - the old one is really old (Figma 003, I think) and so hard to get despite that re-release a few months ago. A new mold would most welcome as the old one has a few problems with dynamic posing of the skirt.
I really want a Rider too, but I sadly cannot see how he could possibly end up as a Figma with that bodyframe... |

We value feedback from our clients. Please share your story with us by writing a testimonial.
Caring and very professional staff
-Costello from Lakewood, CA
Pet Name: GracieI have been a client since 1968 when it was Lakewood Animal Hospital. When VCA took over I was a little skeptical as VCA is a large organization. I was wrong have received excellent professional care for my dogs. They are very caring and do their best to address issues one maybe encountering with their pets. Our little Schnauzer is very ill and their communication via telephone from the Vet is outstanding. Kudos from me to VCA Lakewood Animal Hospital.
Compassionate care
-Tina from Lakewood, CA
Pet Name: Toby BrownI want to thank the staff, all the way from the 1st interaction from the appt. til the end with my beloved pet, Toby. I called, they worked me in, I was given a room, offered water, then, I met Dr. Angell, who was a true angel. It's not easy to make the decision to let your pet go, but the compassion she shared and gentleness Toby received, made the whole experience peaceful. Toby went to sleep in my arms and I was allowed all the time I needed for this closure. RIP Toby Brown. I'll meet you at the bridge. Thank you Dr. Angell and all your staff that day on July 27, 2012
Big Hearts
-Heather W from Lakewood, CAI love this VCA. We're new to Lakewood and went to this location because it was open on the weekend and 24 hours. I wasn't expecting to be blown away by how much the doctors care for the animals and their owners. These doctors are pretty special.
Years of excellent care
-Graham family from La Palma, CA
Pet Name: Benny ChelseyWe have been with VCA Lakewood for 23 years never considered any others after leaving our previous Vet. They have been there for us through major surgery and routine care enhancing our dogs quality of life.
Bad Allergy Reaction
-Yvonne from Lakewood, CA
Pet Name: Nala WilsonI can not say Thank You enough for helping my 7year old dog (Nala) last sunday at 3:00am. Your staff and doctor were very friendly & professional. I have highly recommended your hospital to my friends. What a awesome place you have for all of these animals.
Thank you
-Jim from Culver City, CA
Pet Name: MateoThese people were angels in human form. They saved my cat, Mateo, with a miracle pu surgery. My loving and wonderful cat was well treated and cared for during his entire 5 day stay in the hospital. they allowed me to visit after hours so that I could brush and hand feed him in order to help his recovery. The compassion they showed to me in this difficult time was overwhelming. These people are wonderful and I recommend them to anyone with an animal in need. My cat was blocked for the second time and within hours of death, they performed a complex surgery that took hours and returned him to me with a long life left to share his love and companionship. I thank them everyday for saving Mateo, making his surgery affordable, and showing me such warmth and compassion.
Been with them for years.
-Jody from Norwalk, CA
Pet Name: BearI first went to Lakewood VCA many years ago when they were on Lakewood Blvd. At the time I had 2 dogs. We were treated extremely professionally by the staff and Doctors there. When time came for both of my babies to cross the Rainbow Bridge, (within 6 months apart) Lakewood VCA (by then at their new location) was there with care and support. They made the experience just a little easier to bear. I thank them so much for that!
Now I'm taking my new furkid to Lakewood VCA and Dr. Marchan is my doctor. He is wonderful to work with and takes the time to explain everything to you and answer any questions. The staff at the front desk is also a joy to deal with. -
Highly recommend this VCA facility
-Noemi from Lakewood, CA
Pet Name: CinnamonWe recently had to put our beloved Cinnamon to sleep. She was 16 yrs old and had survived cancer once already. When the time came we brought her to this facility and we were so impressed by the caring and compassion from all the staff. They were so accomodating, we have a large family and quite a few of us went with her to the VCA. They gave us a room so we could all say our goodbyes and be with her in her transition. And a few days later even received a sympathy card, we were so touched. Now this is the only place we will ever bring our pets too as prices are very reasonable as well. Thank you VCA, you made a very hard time alot easier for our family.
-Dave from Bellflower, CA
Pet Name: SimbaThis place is not only nicely kept, but the staff there are friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. I was so impressed, I switched doctors for my dog right then and there. This place is awesome.
The staff are GREAT
-Lauren from Lakewood, CA
Pet Name: BellaVCA Lakewood Animal Hospital is AWESOME !!! We love the staff and Dr. Morein.............please everyone if you post here....you need to post on yelp. They need your support......clients use yelp instead of the yellow pages.....

Guns are complicated. People using them need practice. We recently took a pistol class, where over half were females over 60. There was no way most of them could confidently load a semiautomatic. The solution is not keeping a loaded revolver at bedside. We need a gun that older women can chamber a round more easily. Take it away, Sturm-Ruger. Click Here if you Like this Comment 2 persons like this.
But it isn´t really that complicated. If those women can´s chamber a round on a semi-auto, then they shouldn´t buy a semi-auto. Maybe a revolver is right for them.And yes, gun owners do need to practice, but please don´t mandate that.Finally, the Second Amendment Foundation is an excellent organization that actually IS racking up legal victories. Definitely worth joining. Click Here if you Like this Comment 2 persons like this.
#1, that´s easy... A double-action revolver! Click Here if you Like this Comment 2 persons like this.
I watched a TV show last night, called "Panic". It features actual 911 recordings for help, accompanied by visual re-inactment.While watching, I thought it was the best selling tool for gun ownership. A lot of problems could have been thwarted had the victims had access to a firearm. Click Here if you Like this Comment 3 persons like this.
Can´t wait every year for another season of TOP SHOT ........... You can watch current weekly episodes and past seasons programs at their web site, if you miss one. ............

Indeed #1. A few months ago I coached a 60+ woman on a gun purchase and revolver it was. Had a couple of semiauto options but she just couldn´t establish consistant operation. Click Here if you Like this Comment 2 persons like this.
Absolutely, a revolver, re #1. Load it and keep it loaded, and when/if you need it, aim, pull the trigger. Boom. Simple. No need to find the magazine, with shaking hands, load the magazine into the pistol, rack one into the chamber, then aim and shoot. Or if you keep your semi-auto loaded, with adrenaline pumping, try to remember where the safety is, is it on or off, and is it racked? A loaded revolver by the bed or 12ga. shotgun loaded, ready and standing in the bedroom corner is the best. The sound alone of a pump shotgun being racked is enough to make an intruder think twice and head back out the door. If not, you don´t have to have that good an aim. Click Here if you Like this Comment 2 persons like this.
The only time you need to chamber a semi-auto is at home after cleaning. I usually carry a 1911 and always carry ´cocked and locked´. I jeep it loaded and ready to go at home. An unloaded gun is at best a paperweight.If you carry a pistol for self defense, there should never be a need to chamber a round in an emergency situation. These pistols were designed to be carried with one in the pipe.Racking a semi-auto is a TWO HANDED operation: left hand grasps the slide and moves toward the operator at the same time the right hand is pushed forward on the grip. Taught correctly, this process can allow almost everyone to quickly and safely chamber a round. Training and practice are key.That said, Mrs LLJ prefers her S&W snubbie, and when she is in bed, it is on her nightstand. When awake and about town, it´s concealed on her person. Click Here if you Like this Comment 3 persons like this.
The author makes excellent points. I would add one more ´finger on the scale´ for firearms rights, Shall Issue Concealed Carry.Today there are a few million people that are legally carrying firearms, many on a daily basis. This gigantic, irrefutible database of real world experience totally debunks the "guns cause crime" sales pitch that the hoplophobes have been selling for many decades. We today have solid proof to refute any claims that "if we allow more guns in society, more people will be killed", and there is little or no support from police agencies for more gun restrictions in places that have had concealed carry for a while. They have seen that CCW laws do not cause problems, and are comfortable with it. Only in the few remaining fascist states where CCW is essentially denied do the old, false views that guns are a problem linger. Of course, the huge pool of helpless victims where CCW is denied keeps their crime rates high - in their little minds confirming their circular illogic.

Just a few months ago, I, too, coached a 60+ woman in shopping for a handgun and her first shooting session. The people at the gun shop urged her, as I had done, to avoid automatics and to try out a couple of their double action revolvers. And even though she is petite, the gun shop urged her to try revolvers with as much heft as she could comfortably handle. During the shoot, both her aim and her confidence steadily improved.

I apologize for the double post. My comments were directed toward the female shooter, or any shooter new to firearms. Under a high stress/anxiety situation such as hearing someone breaking into your home in the middle of the night, fear, shaking off sleep, adrenaline, all make the mind not as clear as at the gun range. For the novice shooter in such situations, a loaded revolver is the simplest. Mr. D and I shoot regularly and are very familiar with all of our revolvers, semi-autos, and long guns. Practice, practice, practice is the best motto for any shooting sport, plus you meet the nicest folks at the range. My 1911 is always locked and loaded as are my S&Ws; one of them are by my bed and also what I carry every day. But for the novice shooter, or those who don´t get to the range as often as they should, and women fall into this category because so many are intimidated by going to the range, a loaded revolver fits the bill. Aim, pull trigger, boom. Click Here if you Like this Comment 2 persons like this.
I don´t know that I would say reality TV "saved" the Second Amendment, as much as it has opened the eyes of those who haven´t any familiarity with firearms to the fact that firearms owners and firearms are much more common than they could have ever imagined, and upwards of 99.99999% (and I´m probably leaving out a few more "9"s on the decimal end) haev no relation to criminality - spare for detering it.Also, look at the way semi-auto rifles such as the AR series were portrayed for years aas inherently evil "black rifles." Well, now, the AR-type rifle is among the most popular centerfire semi-auto rifles in the country. Used by target shooters, preppers, and "Fudds" alike.The best advice I can give to someone looking to start shooting is start small and inexpensive. The Ruger 10/22 rifle is a staple of any collection and the perfect rifle to start with, and maintain proficiency with (especially in this age of ever more expensive ammunition). Get a pump action shotgun, such as the Remington 870. As you begin with pistols, get a revolver, plenty of fantastic .38 Special out there to be had.And in terms of self defense, and the bump in the night, get to know the feel and employment of whichever firearm you choose to count on as well as you do the remote control for your television.

Given the lawless administration to which we have been subjected by half of our clue-free countrymen I think its more than a little premature to view the Second Amendment and 2A rights as "safe".That said the greatest urban myth that there is is "the sound of chambering a round in a shotgun will send them running".Baloney. If they even recognize the sound, the mere fact that they were bold enough (or drugged enough) to enter an occupied home says they would have no reaction to "ka-chunk".There´s only one sound that will have any impact. It is not "click". Click Here if you Like this Comment 2 persons like this.
#14- Agreed. The WON has made it clear he is willing to cede our sovereignty to the U.N..The author is right that our spineless representatives are unwilling to risk losing an election based on the 2nd Amendment. However, assuming that any of our Constitutional Rights are safe at this time is a dangerous and naive assumption. Look at the open attacks now spawning against the 1st Amendment?If you get rid of free speech, protesting against incursion of the 2nd Amendment is impossible, and then easily removed.The left never stops, it just changes tactics.

Re #5 I saw the show, also.IIRC, in the first incident, with a single mom and an 8 year old son, the lady had a revolver. She told the dispatcher that she had the gun and the dispatcher told her to get rid of it because "there were police in the area."She did that, and then the dirtbag found and attacked her. The dispatcher kept repeating that "there were police in the area" on the phone. There were police in the area, but they couldn´t find the correct apartment.I another incident, the woman protected herself with a shotgun when the police were unable to get there. The dirtbag died.Moral of the story: dial 911 and die. Click Here if you Like this Comment 2 persons like this.
