Cider Candied Sweet Potatoes
Comment on this recipe
2 cups fresh pressed apple cider 1-1/2 cups honey Grated zest of 1 lemon 4 tablespoons lemon juice 3 tablespoons unsalted butter 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 6 medium sweet potatoes, peel and slice crosswise into 3/4-inch rounds
In a deep medium saucepan, bring the cider, honey, lemon zest, lemon juice, butter, cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 10 minutes. Add the sweet potatoes and partially cover. (Add more cider if needed, to barely cover the sweet potatoes.) Simmer over medium-low heat until the potatoes are just tender but not falling apart, about 45 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, carefully transfer the sweet potatoes to a warm serving bowl and cover with foil to keep warm. Increase heat to high and boil cider mixture until thickened and evaporated to about 1 cup, 5-8 minutes. Pour the hot syrup over the sweet potatoes and serve immediately. Serves 6-8.

Thanks to an 80-61 victory over Bucknell University Tuesday the nation's No. 1 ranked men's basketball program, Syracuse University, remains unbeaten. The Orange (12-0) used a game-best 17 points from senior forward Kris Joseph and a surprisingly good showing from freshman forward Rakeem Christmas (10 points and five rebounds) to collect their ninth home victory of the season.
After the game, Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim addressed a few issues, so I figured I'd share some postgame notes if you missed them.
Dion Waiters' Second-Half Absence; Michael Carter-Williams' Playing Time
In the second half of Tuesday's contest, sophomore guard Dion Waiters did not play. For those who were worrying that it was his bandaged hand that kept him out, it wasn't:
"We wanted to get Michael some opportunities and he's still trying to figure it out," said Boeheim. "He made a couple really good plays at the end so I'm glad we were able to leave him in there to get that experience. It was a 13-point game when he made a great drive and dish out to Scoop for a three – then he made four free throws and made good defensive plays. So, that was good for him."
Rakeem Christmas Is Too Nice
As I mentioned, Christmas, who netted seven of Syracuse's first nine points and snagged four rebounds, had a great early-game showing. But, Christmas was yanked after the first four minutes of the game and didn't return for the rest of the first half. In the second half, Christmas played sparingly and was able to nail a free throw and push his point total into double figures with a putback.
"Rakeem works in practice, but basically he is too nice," said Boeheim. "He needs to get more physical on the basketball court. You can be as nice as you want off the court. Carmelo Anthony is the quietest, nicest kid off the court but once he gets on the court it is serious business. He's physical and he's going to play you hard and Rock needs to use those skills.
"He's a physical type player, he's not a finesse player and he's not a shooter. He's got to be a physical player. He's got to be a warrior down there and right now he's a nice kid. He has to be able to go on the court and be a warrior and he isn't right now. This team didn't block him out and weren't physical with him so he got to the basket and made some plays. Most teams we play aren't going to let that happen.
It takes time. I've seen almost no big guys come in and be physical. Hakim Warrick played in the NBA six or seven years and his freshman year he couldn't even play in this league. He got better. He'll get better."
Syracuse's "Bad" Offense
The most glaring comment that Boeheim said Tuesday night was addressing the offense. Here's what he said:
"We're a pretty good offensive team. I think people are worried about that and I'm not sure why. We're a pretty good offensive team."
Now, I hate to finger point, but it was just a few weeks ago, after a 62-56 victory over Marshal, Boeheim said this:
"We have not played well offensively, by any stretch of the imagination, by any interpretation of good offense, at all," said Boeheim. "Turnovers on fast-break situations where you should score not turn it over. It's not like you were being trapped and you turned it over. Just some offensive errors that, you know, would think coming into these two games that if you played this way you would lose one or both. So, I think we got to feel fortunate that we won both, and we got to also get better on the offensive end."
I am almost positive that a majority of SU fans, media members, ect. think the Orange have a pretty solid offense and always have. But, after that Marshall game, which featured SU improving to 9-0, Boeheim tried to nitpick and single out the offense, which then probably led to some criticism..
I am not going to rant on about this, but for those who'd like some inside on what it's like to be inside a Jim Boeheim presser. Well, that's what some of the local media guys need to deal with sometimes.

In Spindler's thrilling new psychological drama, one woman's journey to recovery becomes her worst nightmare…
Before Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans, stained-glass restoration artist Mira Gallier had it all: a thriving business doing work she loved and an idyllic marriage to the perfect man. But the devastating storm stole her beloved husband – his body swept away by floodwaters, never to be found.
Now, after years of pain and turmoil, it looks as if Mira is finally on the verge of peace and emotional stability. But her life, like the magnificent windows blown to bits by Hurricane Katrina, is about to be shattered once again. And this time, it's not a killer storm she faces, but a psychopath who will stop at nothing until he possesses her, body and soul…
First, church windows that she restored are vandalized, and the priest who looked over them brutally murdered. Spray-painted across the glass are the words: He Will Come to Judge the Living and the Dead. Then, New Orleans is rocked by a terrifying chain of murders that all seem to be linked to Mira. The police, led by homicide detective Spencer Malone, are following a string of clues left by the killer on each victim – and beginning to wonder if the murderer isn't Mira Gallier herself.
As Mira begins to unravel under pressure from all sides – and fear for her life – it's unclear whom she can trust. And when a man from her past appears out of nowhere, sparking something long forgotten in her heart, he quickly becomes the police's new prime suspect. One by one, the people in Mira's life are targeted, until it's clear that the killer has been saving her for last . . . and that there's nowhere left to run.

Listen to this audiobook excerpt from Erica Spindler's suspense novel Watch Me Die, narrated by Christina Delaine. In this thrilling psychological drama, one woman's journey to recovery becomes her worst nightmare... Stained-glass restoration artist Mira Gallier had it all. A career she loved. An idyllic marriage. A bright future in her favorite city. Then Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans and Mira lost everything—even her husband, swept away by floodwaters, never to be seen again. Years later, Mira h
"Filled with more twisted, dark paths than an ancient cemetery, Watch Me Die is a thriller guaranteed to chill your blood and set your teeth on edge." –Lisa Jackson, #1 New York Times bestselling author
"At the start of this gripping romantic suspense thriller from bestseller Spindler (Blood Vines), someone bashes in the head of elderly Father Girod at New Orleans' Sisters of Mercy Catholic School and Church. The unknown killer also spray-paints the church's stained-glass windows with the words: "He will come again to judge the living and the dead." When Det. Spencer Malone questions Mira Gallier, who restored the church's stained-glass windows after Hurricane Katrina six years earlier and still mourns her husband, Jeff, who perished in that catastrophe, the police detective has to wonder why she appears more distraught by the vandalized windows than by Father Girod's death. As the body count rises, Mira becomes one of the chief suspects in the murders. Meanwhile, Jeff's best friend, Connor Scott, returns to New Orleans, and Mira, who can't stop thinking about Jeff, feels guilty about her attraction to Connor. The plot takes numerous twists and turns until reaching the startling conclusion." - Publishers Weekly (June)
New York Times bestselling author Erica Spindler has written many novels, including Breakneck, Blood Vines, Bone Cold, In Silence and Last Known Victim. Her books are published in 25 countries. Raised in Rockford, Illinois, Spindler planned on becoming an artist, and earned visual arts degrees from Delta State University and the University of New Orleans. But one day in 1982, she picked up a romance novel and was immediately hooked. She soon tried to write her own romance, but it was when she leapt from romance to suspense that she found her true calling. Spindler has won the prestigious Daphne du Maurier Award for excellence, the Kiss of Death Award, and has been a three-time RITA Award Finalist. She lives just outside New Orleans, Louisiana, with her husband and two sons.

Guided tour of Layer 1 prototype
What's here
[NB: this is a guided tour of an experimental service. It bounces around a lot, so if it's not working for you, try again. Frustration at repeated, unsuccessful attempts can be vented at the author, tom-dot-bruce[somewhere in the vicinity of]cornell-dot-edu]This "guided tour" will walk you through the prototype OAI repository server at the Legal Information Institute. It includes a little bit of explanatory text, but
Database schemas and documentation
You will also want to look at the conceptual overview of Level 1 data.
Here's a schema diagram. It won't print well, sadly. There's a PDF version that might be more readable: OAI-lite.pdf
Approach to the OAI4courts standard
All metadata standards are compromises between completeness and accuracy of representation (on one hand) and ease of formulation and implementation on the other. Gathering support for any particular standard or set of standards requires momentum that can easily be lost in debate over minutiae. There is a built-in tendency to make the perfect the enemy of the good, when what is need are functional standards that are designed not to stand in the way of their own refinement at some later time.

The Hall of Human Origins offers a welcoming place to explore one of the most exciting areas of science, the study of human evolution. Despite strong public interest in the science, however, many people find this topic troubling when viewed from a religious perspective. Representatives of diverse religious communities encourage a larger, more respectful understanding of both the scientific evidence and religious belief.

Fun Facts
While other primates are furry, human skin is exposed to the elements. It's not that we're 'naked' – our hair is just really short over much of our bodies. In the warm places where our ancestors lived, evaporation of sweat from exposed skin was a great benefit in cooling our entire bodies. Our brain runs so 'hot', in fact, that sweating and cooling proved vital for evolving our big brain.
Compared to other primates, humans have huge 'whites of the eyes', or sclera. This means that humans can easily read each other's gaze. In experiments, great ape infants usually follow a gaze only when the experimenter also turns his head. But human infants follow the gaze when the experimenter moves only his eyes. The whites of our eyes may help a lot in communicating with one another.

Hi I am trying to set up a 8.5 x 11 brochure with double sided pages. the pages will originally be 17 x 11 so i can fold them into the correct size. how do I go about setting this up? I know i need to print duplex with saddle stitch but when i try to set up the 17 x 11 pages in indesign it makes the whole booklet that length. help....
You should set this up as either 8.5 x 11 facing pages, or as 2 11 x 17 non-facing pages (ONLY if the brochure has ony 4 pages). If you are going to use more than one sheet of 11 x 17, set it up as letter-size facing page, do your layout in consecutive page order (reader's spreads) and use Print Booklet to impose if printing in-house, or export to PDF as single pages, not spreads, for commercial printing.
We need to be very clear about waht you mean by a "page" rather than the number of sheets on which this is going to be printed. If the brochure is one sheet of 11 x 17, printed on both sides and folded so it has 4 panels, then you can set it up as a two-page 11 x 17 document. I do it this way most of the time, and set the pages with two columns to make the margins at the gutter where it folds for convenience in layout. Side one (page 1 in the layout) would have the back cover on the left and the front cover onthe right, and side two (page 2 in your layout) would have the two inside "pages."
In theory you can set up a longer document this way, too, but it's so much work to remember the imposition pattern and such a hassle and prone to error to work this way instead of looking at the design as the readers see the finished product, that I would never do it for more pages. Setting up as 8.5 x 11 facing pages is fast, easy to work with, allows for changing the page count if necessary, and works for automatic page numbering, so it just makes more sense to do that if you will be printing more than one sheet of paper.
ok awesome thank you. the brochure is for a real estate company. the total pages are 8 but its not 8 seperate sheets of paper they are 4 17 x 11 sheets two different designs on each side of the sheet and is printed on both sides so i get very confused with all of this. im not new at all to photoshop but this indesign program is throwing me for a loop.
This sounds like a 16-page facing pages file.
In the layout, the first page will be by itself (your readers see it all by itself when they get the brochure becasue it is the cover of the folded piece), then pages 2-15 will appear as two-page spreads, and finally page 16 will be by itself again. When printed, this will require four sheets of paper to pass through the printer, each sheet will have two pages on each side.

Recommended by Viktor, 17
Through the awesome writing and creative images, this personal story really gives an interesting, and in-depth look at the Holocaust without being distracted by too much history or sadness, it's still a graphic novel without being too graphic. As the only "comic" to ever win a Pulitzer, it truly deserves it. This wonderful historical narrative uses animals instead of people (German Nazi's are represented by cats, Jews by mice, and Poles by pigs) to tell the story of the author's father, Vladek, a Polish Jew who survived the horrors of the Holocaust. The story shows you the wonderful pre-war life Vladek lived and then switches back and forth from past to present, from bad to worse. A cliff-hanging ending leads you to the next book.
Maus II
By Art Spiegelman
Recommended by Viktor, 17
This book must be read right after the first, for fear of forgetting even one detail of Anja and Vladek's struggle, as the second book starts off where the last one ended. This heart wrenching tale continues and keeps you on edge as there is the never-ending threat of death. The story alternates between the terror in Poland and the relationship between the author and his father, Vladek. This book also won the Pulitzer – a truly deserved award.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower
By Stephen Chbosky
Recommended by Victoria
Charlie is a wallflower, a shy introvert entering his freshman year of high school, the most intimidating of them all. Fortunately, he is befriended by an outgoing senior sister-brother duo named Sam and Patrick. Based in the 1990's, this book pays homage to mix tapes, friendship, and life affirmation written in the form of letters to the reader.
By Jerry Spinelli
Recommended by Sam
Stargirl Caraway sticks out like a ketchup stain on a white shirt, and she loves it; she always sticks up for herself, her friends, and even her pet rat, Cinnamon. Leo is…well, the opposite: he's always trying to blend in; the closest he comes to standing out is having a talk show broadcast throughout the school. But when these two very different people fall in love, will sparks fly, or will they both end up crushed?

A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for all of SE MI for Saturday morning through Saturday night. A winter weather system will be headed our way, and some spots could see over 6" of snow.
The devil will be in the details however, as the timing of warm air could cut into overall totals. As it stands right now, areas between M-59 and I-69 could see totals of 4-7", while areas south of I-96 will be closer to the 3-5" range. People in southern Wayne, Washtenaw, Monroe and Lenawee counties will see a significant amount of rain which means snow totals will be much less. High temperatures will be in the middle 30s.
The weather will exit the area late Saturday night making for a quiet day on Sunday. High temperatures will be lower though... around 26.
The next winter system moves in on Tuesday night.
We will continue to update our forecast as new weather data comes in.

CUSHING, Okla. —
Cushing's Gage Stallworth knew each time he touched the ball he was going to be compared to Dawson Myers — the Tigers' All-State running back from a year ago.
That didn't stop the junior, who tallied X,XXX yards and XX touchdowns this season — one of the best performances in school history.
"Dawson was a great running back," Stallworth said. "I wasn't trying to be like him or be better than him. I just wanted to be my own running back. My goal each time I stepped on the field was to not get tackled by the first guy that touched me."
It was that kind of tenacity that also carried Cushing to the playoffs for the second straight year.
"He just got better and better every week," Cushing coach Barrett Shupe said. "At first our offense wasn't really geared to having him run the ball that much, but as the season went on we started to become more and more centered around him."
Making big plays isn't something new for Stallworth. A state champion and All-American wrestler, Stallworth has been making big plays since bursting on the scene at Cushing. So it came as no surprise that when the Tigers needed a big play they called on their workhorse running back
"That's just the person he is," Shupe said. "He was a state champion and All-American wrestler over the summer so this is nothing new. He lives for those moments and we have a lot of trust in him to carry the ball for us when we need a big play."
"The offensive line would always joke around with me and call me Marshawn after Marshawn Lynch's run against the Saints (in the 2011 playoffs)," Stallworth said. "It's a great feeling to know that I'm able to rush and score that much, but a lot of credit goes to my offensive line. Without them, I can't have those big games."
It wasn't always easy for Stallworth this season. Two games into the season, Stallworth — who had been playing both offense and defense — gave up his role on defense to allow him to run harder on offense.
"Honestly, we needed him to rest more," Shupe said. "It was tough for him, playing on both sides of the ball. Fortunately we had enough depth that we were able to replace him on defense and that allowed him to be stronger on offense."
The strategy worked out perfectly, as Cushing finished second in the district behind state runner-up Seminole thanks in large part to a healthy Stallworth.
"We knew going in that he was going to be a key for our offense," Shupe said. "He's a good football player and he just seemed to get better as the year went on. He's a tough kid and I can tell you that I'm grateful that No. 24 was on our side and not playing for someone else. I'm sure a lot of coaches would love to have a kid like Gage carrying the ball for them and being the type of leader he is."
The season may be over and Stallworth is focused on defending his wrestling state championship, but in the back of his mind, he's already thinking about next football season.
"I had some pretty good numbers this year, but I'm hoping to put up even better stats next year," Stallworth said. "Next season I'm going to hit the weights pretty hard and go hard in practice and hopefully it will all pay off. It's exciting to think about — that I still have my senior year ahead of me, but even though we are losing a couple of seniors on the offensive line and our quarterback, I feel like we should be just as good next year. Our goal is to get past the first round of the playoffs."
With Stallworth returning, that shouldn't be a problem for the Tigers.
"I'm excited," Shupe said. "It's not very often that you have someone like Dawson Myers or Gage Stallworth come through our program and we've been lucky two of them in back-to-back years. When you know you have a talent like Gage coming back, it just makes you even more excited to start preparing for next year."

Friday August 15, 2003
I apologize for the delay in posting yesterday's edition of Seth Speaks. We were experiencing some technical difficulties. If you didn't see yesterday's post on some of the players of the Negro Leagues, please click here.
All-Time Best Lineups
It's Friday and that means it's time again to see what the responses are to the current Discussion Question of the Week. This week's question was:
If you ran a baseball team, and had all of the players ever to have played the game at your disposal (in their primes, not at the current age or living status), what lineup would you put on the field?
I got some really good, really interesting lineups. So thank you to those who sent me their all-time lineups. If you have any ideas for next week's Discussion Question of the Week, send me an e-mail and we'll come up with a good one and post it on Monday.
The question actually came from a friend, Mike, so let's start out with his lineup.
Mike's Lineup:
Ty Cobb (RF)
I know he is listed as a CF for the Hall of Fame, but I have seen him listed as OF/1B. I think he was the greatest hitter of all-time. .367 lifetime BA, 4191 hits, 12 batting titles including 9 in a row, 892 SB, 23 straight seasons of hitting over .300 with three season over .400.
Honus Wagner (SS)
. 329 lifetime BA, 17 season over .300 and 722 SB
Ted Williams (LF).344 lifetime BA, two triple crowns, 500+ HR
Willie Mays (CF).302 lifetime BA, 660 HR
Jimmie Foxx (1B).325 lifetime BA, 2 time MVP and a triple crown
Babe Ruth (P)
I know the Babe was an outfielder, but was also a very good pitcher so I am going to put him there as the best hitting pitcher ever with an ERA of 2.28, .342 lifetime BA, 714 HR
Tony Gwynn (3B)
My only non HOF, but definite future HOF. I loved watching him hit. .338 lifetime BA with 7 batting titles
Bill Dickey (C)
This is my surprise pick. Over shadowed by the Babe and Gehrig on the mighty Yankee teams, .319 lifetime BA and caught 100+ games in 13 straight seasons.
Rogers Hornsby (2B)
.358 lifetime BA, 7 batting titles including 6 in a row with one triple crown. He hit .424 in 1924 (He will probably be mad at me for batting him ninth!)
Very solid lineup! I never thought of it, but putting Babe Ruth in as the pitcher was brilliant. Forget the DH! He'll hit for himself! I guess my one worry would be the defense at third base!! I may be wrong, but I don't think Tony Gwynn ever played third base in his career. For that matter, has there ever been a left-handed thrower play 3B in Major League Baseball history? (if you know the answer, let me know) However, as we learned in Moneyball (LINK), if Gwynn can add more runs per game than his defense would give up, he's worth it. And, Tony Gwynn can hit, so it just might work!
I've mentioned a couple of times that my cousin wrote in and introduced me to the name of Pop Lloyd. Because of that, I went through a lot of extra effort to research Lloyd, and ended up writing a long "Gleeman-like" posting on players of the Negro Leagues. So, here's the rest of his starting team:
Chris's Lineup:
Rickey Henderson DH
The greatest leadoff hitter of all time.
Cool Papa Bell 2B
So good, so fast, you have to have him on the team somewhere.
Ted Williams LF
I wish his head would come alive and slapped his son.
Babe Ruth 1B
As long as John Goodman has nothing to do with this.
Josh Gibson C
Imagine the fear a pitcher would have facing Babe then Gibson.
Willie Mays CF
Say hey, how did he end up batting 6th?
Ken Griffey Jr RF
In his prime before Cincy, was gonna be the best hitter ever.
Pete Rose 3B
This was a tough call, but ya gotta love the attitude.
John Henry Lloyd SS
I'll take him over Honus and anybody today, anytime.
I really wanted to put Henderson as my leadoff hitter. You'll see below how I did that below! After doing the research on the Negro Leagues, the inclusions of Bell, Gibson and Lloyd certainly make sense. I completely agree on the Ted Williams analysis. As much as I agree with that, I have to disagree with the Rose analysis. I really don't love anything about Rose. Any lineup where Mays is hitting 6th is very impressive!
Lee's Lineup:
Finally we see our first current players, and A-Rod and Bonds are two that can't really be argued too vehemently. Also, we see a couple of pitchers, and I like both of them!
Matt's Lineup:
CF - Ty Cobb
2B - Rogers Hornsby
LF - Ted Williams
RF - Babe Ruth
DH - Barry Bonds
1B - Lou Gehrig
3B - Mike Schmidt
C - Mickey Cochrane
SS - Alex Rodriguez
Honus Wagner
Stan Musial
Jimmie Foxx
Mickey Mantle
Johnny Bench
Too many right handers on the bench already or else Joe Dimaggio and Roberto Clemente may have taken the 4th and 5th Outfielder spots. It was also really hard to pass on Brooks Robinson as he is the best fielding third baseman of all time, but Schmidt's just a much better hitter and did win 10 gold gloves himself. The lineup is pretty left handed dominant but these are the best hitters of all time so not too many left handed pitchers would scare them. Very easy to give Gehrig or Bonds a day off with Foxx on the bench and Musial and Mantle can fill in for Cobb when he gets suspended for fighting or if Williams' back acts up. Cobb and Hornsby play the table setters with their averages and OBP just off the charts and then that gets followed by probably the four best hitters of all time in Williams, Ruth, Bonds, and Gehrig. While this team isn't slackers in the field it was definitely put together with the offensive numbers in mind.
Yeah, 3-6 are some pretty good hitters. When I did my research on the 8 greatest players of all-time, Williams, Ruth and Bonds were all Top 5. I didn't include Gehrig in the analysis, but with Stan Musial, if I ever update that list, they will be added. I like the bench as is. Having the switch-hitting Mantle coming of the bench is a good thing, especially considering how left-hand dominant your team is. But, as you said, these guys wouldn't have a problem with it!
Leslie's Lineup:
1) Roberto Clemente RF
2) Willie Mays SS
3) Ted Williams DH
4) Barry Bonds CF
5) Harmon Killebrew 3B
6) Johnny Bench C
7) Joe Morgan 2B
8) Pete Rose 1B
9) Carl Yastrzemski LFSETH'S ANALYSIS –
Great lineup! I added the positions to this, and with the plethora of outfielders, I moved Willie Mays to SS! Again, defense doesn't matter when a lineup can score as many runs as this one could!
That brings us to what I'm sure all of you have been waiting for; My All-Time Lineup. In thinking through this, I wanted to do a few things. First, I wanted to put players in positions they actually played. Second, I wanted a somewhat balanced lineup; some power, some on-base guys, some speed, some defense, some lefties and some righties. But, in the end, I just put the players that I felt were the best at their positions and tried to come up with a lineup that just made some sense. It wasn't an easy project, by any means! So, here we go:
Seth's Lineup:
Rogers Hornsby - 2B - (1915-1937)
The man hit .358 with 301 home runs! He led his league in batting average seven times, on-base percentage nine times, and slugging percentage nine times.
Willie Mays - CF - (1951- 1973)
My favorite vintage player! 660 homers! We want to be strong defensively up the middle and his 12 Gold Gloves in center field do the job. His power/speed combination is great!
Barry Bonds - LF - (1986-current)
650 career home runs… and counting! The 5-time MVP's batting eye is incredible. It would be fun to see him in this lineup, with hitters behind him. He might actually get some pitches to hit! 650 homers/500 steals, the most amazing power/speed combination ever! Oh, and he's in left field because he can play defense too, as his eight Gold Gloves can attest to.
Josh Gibson - C - (Negro Leagues)
There are a few good catchers in the Hall of Fame now, but none can match the offensive proficiency of Gibson. It is really unfortunate that he wasn't able to play in the major leagues. His power is as good as anyone's!
Babe Ruth - DH - (1914-1935)
He ranked #1 on my all-time list, primarily because of his dominance versus his era. Led his league in OPS 13 consecutive years and is #1 on that career list. 714 home runs, and a great batter's eye. As Mike wrote above, he could pitch for this team too. Sure, there are about 50 other pitchers I would take instead of him, but I think he could pitch well enough to give up less runs than this lineup could score.
Hank Aaron - RF - (1954-1976)
Baseball's Home Run King with 755 homers, Aaron was a model of consistency. All-time leader in Total Bases and RBI as well. 3 Gold Gloves, the Hammer could play some defense too!
Lou Gehrig - 1B - (1923-1939)
The Iron Horse won 2 MVP awards and the 1934 Triple Crown. Plus, I can count on him playing every day! Led the league in OPS 3 times, usually finishing second to Babe Ruth!
Mike Schmidt - 3B - (1972-1989)
The three-time MVP hit 548 career home runs… and he's hitting 8th in this lineup!!! As mentioned above, he also won 10 Gold Gloves. Led his league in home runs 8 times! He did strike out a lot though!
Alex Rodriguez - SS - (1994-current)
My initial thought was to play Ernie Banks as my shortstop, but Banks actually played more career games at 1B. A-Rod combines amazing power, with speed, and underrated defense. Yeah, he's maybe too young to put on this list, but I'm ok with it. Assuming he can stay healthy, he could pass a lot of players on all-time lists!
So, what do you think of my lineup? (send me an e-mail) I don't see it ever losing! I really think that I could manage this team to a World Series championship. No one could screw them up. Well, maybe the combination of Ron Gardenhire and Scott Ullger, but we'll keep them away from this team! Rumor has it that they would try to sneak Dustan Mohr into the lineup!
Well, if I want to give it any competition, a team to scrimmage against that could give it a run, I might as well set up a second team too, right? So, I'm going to put together a second team… I can do it, it's my web site, right? So, who just missed the first team?
Seth's #2 Lineup:
Rickey Henderson - LF
I agree, best leadoff hitter of all time. All-time leader in walks, plus 3,000 hits, meant he was on base a lot, leading him to the all-time leadership of the runs column too! Power/Speed combo!
Ty Cobb - CF
Could lead off too. He actually finished second on my list of best all-time hitters!
Ted Williams - DH -
He finished third on my list. Just wasn't a good left fielder, that's why he's not in the field!
Frank Robinson - RF
586 home runs! I think he might be the most underrated player in major league history!
Harmon Killebrew - 1B
573 homers for the Senators, Twins, and a couple with the Royals. Could play 3B too.
George Brett - 3B
I never liked Brett as a player, but he could hit! That .305 career average and over 3,000 hits are tough to ignore.
Ernie Banks - SS
I decided to play Banks and his 512 career homers on my second team!
Johnny Bench - C
Low average, but a good hitting catcher for his era. Also a great defensive catcher with a very strong arm.
Rod Carew - 2B
I couldn't justify him leading off or hitting second in front of the 2 I've got up there, so he'll hit ninth!
OK, so the #1 team is clearly better than #2, but that's how it should be, right?
Again, if you've got ideas for the next Discussion Question, please e-mail me and let me know!
I don't really want to write about the Twins. Yesterday afternoon, after learning that the Twins managed to lose for a third consecutive game to the terrible Cleveland Indians, I was heard telling people, "I hope they get swept in Kansas City this weekend; put them out of their misery! Put us (their fans) out of our misery!" I didn't have many people disagreeing with me.
I would encourage everyone to read Jim Souhan's article in today's Star Tribune. He actually writes with some fire, being brutally honest about how poorly the Twins played, how little effort it appears most of the Twins put in.
Manager Ron Gardenhire said, ""It was a bad day. Embarrassing. We embarrassed ourselves, we embarrassed our fans. You don't go out and play like that. We did. It looked like we didn't show up. That's two days in a row. We didn't hit the ball until the end of the game. That's embarrassing. We're in a pennant race, and we're not acting like a lot of guys understand that. That's very disappointing for a manager."
Absolutely true!! They played horribly! But, I think Mr. Gardenhire needs to look in the mirror for a little while. He's the one who continues to not give days off to Doug Mientkiewicz. He's the one who continually put Jacque Jones into the batting order, despite a groin injury. He's the one who continues to pitch JC Romero in important situations. He's the one who apparently wanted James Baldwin to stay on the team! He's the one who refuses to drop Torii Hunter further down the batting order than 6th. He's the one who keeps putting Dustan Mohr into the lineup.
Michael Restovich is another story of Gardenhire and Ullger messing up a prospect! Let's look at this again:
Michael Cuddyer was given the right field job. He got about 50 at bats as the starter, then Dustan Mohr was re-inserted as the starter. Cuddyer sent down.
Justin Morneau was given the DH job. Got about 60 full-time at bats. Then sat on the bench and only pinch hit occasionally before being sent back down to the minors.
Michael Restovich was given the RF job for about 8 games. Then Dustan Mohr was re-inserted as the starter. Restovich is getting late-inning situational at bats.
It's just dumb!! Why isn't Ron Gardenhire's name being mentioned as being 'on the hot seat'?
This team is really frustrating. As I said yesterday, "The fact is that if the Twins are as good as we want to think they are, as good as they think they are, well, then they can't continue losing games to bad teams. The Cleveland Indians should not be beating the Twins, yet they have won 7 out of 10 games this season."
A part of me wants to start cheering for the Royals. What we loved about watching the Twins the last 3 or 4 years, their effort, is exactly how the Royals win games this year. How did the Twins lose that?
No, I don't really want the Twins to get swept by the Royals this weekend! I hope the Twins win all three games and are right back in the race. But, some changes need to be made for that to happen. Designating James Baldwin for assignment is a good step forward. Calling up Grant Balfour is a great move! But more needs to be done! And time is running out!
If you have any further thoughts on the Twins, the All-Time Lineups, or any other questions you may have for me, please send me an e-mail and I will reply to you!! Thanks for stopping by this web site. I hope you enjoy it, and if you do, please recommend it to your friends and other sports fans you know. Also, be sure to check out the Archives page, and take a look at what other stories I've written. Be sure to check out yesterday's article on some of the Negro League players!
And, be safe, and have a great and enjoyable weekend!

Rivers, Mountains, and Trees, a PNW Day Trip
Woke up Thursday to fantastic weather, a bit of slack at work, and a strong urge to ride. Took a vacation day and spent it in the Williamette and Mt. Hood National Forests.
The route: https://spotwalla.com/tripViewer.php...451f2a5c05b2ad All of the pictures: http://www.smugmug.com/gallery/30744034_W49hVd Started out of Portland, OR about 9AM, slabbing my way south to Mehama and then along the North Fork of the Santiam river on in to the Opal Creek Scenic Recreation Area. There was only one water crossing on this route, it was massive, but aided by the Canby Ferry. There's wheat cut everywhere, drying out in our July sun. Cedar Creek... FS2207 climbs along Cedar creek and presents some great views along the way. Where FS2207 meets 2223 I went right to get some more some views around Sardine Mountain. Here's Detroit Lake... Three Sisters in the background. Looking west up the SR22 corridor along the Santiam River. Glad I'm coming through on motorcycle and not a log truck. There's not a lot of road left there. Turned around and ran down into Detroit on FS2223 along French Creek. Refilled my water bottles and bought some really expensive gas. Stopped at the Ranger station to pick up a motor vehicle use map and had a really nice encounter with a Sheriff in the parking lot who was asking a ton of questions. Turns out he's a rider, and wanted to know where I was going for his future reference. From there it was east on 22 for a bit, then up FS2231/Boulder Creek Road. Not really exciting but first time through so at least it was different. It comes out on FS46 and I went west along the North Fork of the Breitenbush River for a bit, turning on to FS4220. This is great stretch of twisty pavement. It's signed at 35 and 45 and heavily patrolled. They've lost a few riders through here, one just two weeks ago, it's very important to stay on your toes and keep your speed in check. Once on to FS4220 it quickly becomes a rock festival. Lots of China rocks. A bit tedious at times. But a few nice creeks... And a trip through a section damaged by fire... Continuing along FS4220, briefly into the Warm Springs Indian Reservation past Brietenbush lake, your rewarded by a journey through the Ollalie Lake Scenic Area. A smaller lake for warm up... Then on to Monon, Horsehoe, and Ollalie lakes... Ollalie Butte... Mount Jefferson... FS4220 is also referred to as Oregon Skyline Road, and after some gravel it becomes just dirt... I really like this stretch... Coming out at FS42, it's pavement east past Timothy Lake, then a bit of US26, then past Trillium Lake and on to Still Creek Road. Thanks to ADV'r Apple Jam for the tip on this one, it's a great route along Still Creek, which is far from still everywhere I've seen it. Hit Subway near Zig Zag, my peanut butter sandwich lunch was long forgotten. Then slabbed it back to Portland arriving home just before sunset. About 280 miles, 5.5 gals of gas, and 6 quarts of water. A great day all around.

Someday???....Get out and RIDE!!
Nice big loop, krussell!! So, for more for next time.....a few miles up Boulder Creek Rd is a series of Green Dot roads that makes some extra fun stuff out of that road over to Brietenbush. And on the North side of Olallie Lakes is some neat old dirt and rocky stuff that takes a "shortcut" down to FS42. No longer FS 4220 here, but portions are still labled "Skyline Rd" by GPS. I saw that you made it out to Kinzel Lake, too! Getting around!! The "bug" doesn't stop when you've been on all these roads, yaknow..,..it only gets worse....
.. "got no problem with keeping truly roadless areas as wild.... On the other hand, if it has been logged or mined and roads already exist,, ...then that land should be open for public use" (peterman) |

January 16, 2009
My name is Richard Hahn. I am a retired FBI Special Agent. I spent thirteen years of my life, from January 1975 to January 1988 intimately involved in the investigation of the FALN and related terrorist groups. I note that I am but one among scores of investigators who spent countless hours trying to resolve these terrorism cases.
Let me start by saying that the FALN and the Macheteros were no less terrorists than today's al Qaeda or any other terror organization recognized by this Government. In terms of willingness to terrorize, intimidate with threats of violence, violence, and to kill, there is no difference.
Both the FALN and the Macheteros were far-flung conspiracies with ties extending not only to each other, but to other Puerto Rican terror organizations and even to the remnants of the Weather Underground and the Black Liberation Army. The FALN placed and claimed credit for over one hundred explosive and incendiary bombs in American cities over the span of thirteen years. In the process they killed five and maimed scores of others. Their claimed bombings included a booby-trap set for officers of the New York Police Department that maimed one officer, ironically a Puerto Rican himself, and the daytime bombing of Fraunces Tavern in which four were killed and more than sixty injured. They also engaged in armed takeovers of political campaign offices of both Democrat and Republican candidates and sent threat letters to delegates to the national conventions. They shared stolen explosives and money between themselves and other domestic terror groups of their day.
The Macheteros likewise engaged in a protracted campaign of violence and terror. They ambushed the Police of Puerto Rico to steal uniforms and vehicles, attacked a U.S. Navy bus carrying sailors to their everyday jobs in Puerto Rico, fired rockets at the FBI offices and U.S. Courthouse in Puerto Rico, conducted numerous bombings on the island (including the bombing of fighter aircraft of the Puerto Rican National Guard in Puerto Rico, causing tens of millions of dollars in damage,) and engaged in what remains one of the largest single robberies in U.S. history, the theft of more than seven million dollars from a Wells Fargo truck in West Hartford, Connecticut. Through all of this they killed five and injured many others.
These organizations were truly clandestine, with cellular structure, safe houses and other measures taken to prevent members from knowing exactly who was involved in what acts. Consequently, what is known about the activities of specific individuals in each of these organizations is limited. Nonetheless, under the laws of the United States in joining these conspiracies the individuals who were ultimately arrested and charged took responsibility for all acts of the conspiracy. They share the guilt for all of the terror conducted in the organization's name.
Through the nearly decade and a half of investigation of the FALN only one member ever stepped forward to cooperate with the government, a new recruit named Freddie Mendez. With only six months in the "underground" Mendez could offer little insight as to who had done what in the various crimes committed before he became a member. The only other window into the FALN was through penetration of safe houses with court authorized wiretap and microphone coverage by law enforcement. Unfortunately, in these cases the evidence regarding exactly who did what specific acts was clouded by code names, cryptic conversation and the limited locations of the microphone penetration. Still, despite these barriers to understanding the specifics of the conspiracy, law enforcement was able to discern some things. Here are some of the facts known about the FALN.
Eleven members of the FALN were captured on April 4, 1980 in Evanston, Illinois, as a result of a call of suspicious activity by a resident and, separately, a report of an armed robbery that had occurred that day. Those arrested were armed to the teeth, wore disguises, and were gathered to conduct an armored car robbery, as was later learned from FALN member Freddie Mendez who was among them. One of the arrests that day involved the recovery of a truck stolen just hours before in the armed takeover of a nearby rental agency in which employees and patrons were terrorized at gunpoint and personally robbed. The stolen truck was spotted in a parking lot shortly after the robbery and police established a surveillance. When two suspects were seen moving the vehicle, arrests were made. Both subjects were armed and struggled to get out their weapons when confronted, but were successfully subdued without incident. The stolen truck was found to contain several weapons. Separately, a suspicious van parked in a residential neighborhood was checked by police and found to have nine persons in disguise and carrying a variety of weapons. Among those in the van was FALN leader Carlos Torres who had operated a well equipped FALN bomb factory in Chicago.
These arrests led to the Federal prosecution of Carlos Torres, Elizam Escobar, Ricardo Jimenez, Adolfo Matos, Dylcia Noemi Pagan, Alicia Rodriguez, Ida Luz Rodriguez, Luis Rosa, Carmen Valentin and Alfredo Mendez. FALN leader Oscar Lopez was arrested separately nearly a year later and convicted of charges in the same indictment. Of these individuals, all except Mendez and Carlos Torres were offered clemency.
Repentant FALN member Freddie Mendez became a Government witness. He told investigators that under the tutelage of Oscar Lopez he had participated in training in how to build bombs, had seen bombs being constructed in FALN safe houses, and, with Ricardo Jimenez, carried a bomb to be placed in the Democratic Party Headquarters in Chicago, Illinois in October, 1979. On that occasion Mendez was told the bombings were being coordinated with explosive attacks being conducted by related groups in Puerto Rico, a fact verified not only by the events themselves, but by a communiqué issued immediately thereafter bearing the names and logos of the FALN and Macheteros, jointly claiming of credit for the attacks.
Mendez also told investigators he participated with several of the Evanston arrestees in an armed takeover of a National Guard Armory in Oak Creek, Wisconsin in an attempt to steal weapons and explosives, and the armed takeover of Carter-Mondale campaign headquarters in Chicago for the purpose of intimidating delegates to the national convention. In both cases Mendez and others carried guns, threatening and intimidating their victims. Mr. Mendez identified his co-conspirators that participated with him in these acts. Many are among those who were granted clemency. He also identified FALN Leader Oscar Lopez (also offered clemency) as his mentor in the clandestine organization.
Following his conviction with other members Mendez chose to cooperate with the Government. He told of plans afoot to effect the escape of the jailed FALN members. Mendez said he was told by outside operatives of the FALN that a number of options were being considered including hijacking an airliner or kidnapping Ronald Reagan Jr., son of then President Ronald Reagan, to compel their release. It should be noted that Mr. Mendez was subjected to repetitive polygraph examinations specifically about these statements and was never found to be deceptive.
While Mr. Mendez' information was limited by his short tenure as a terrorist, the FBI with its partners in law enforcement did subsequently succeed in penetrating FALN safe houses with microphones and video coverage. Through these technical penetrations further evidence of violent plans were discovered and thwarted. In the spring of 1983 FALN members Edwin Cortes, Alejandrina Torres and a third unidentified man from Puerto Rico traveled from Chicago to Kansas with weapons and explosives (which had been neutralized by the FBI) to effect the escape of FALN leader Oscar Lopez. Intercepted conversations made it clear that they were prepared to shoot it out with whoever got in the way of their escape plans. This plot was foiled by FBI intervention. This same cell subsequently planned other prison escapes, an armed robbery, movement of FALN leader William Morales, and ultimately a series of bombings. The bomb plans included yet another conspirator, Alberto Rodriguez. These plans were also intercepted by FBI wiretaps and microphones, and prevented. It is noted that through this investigation it was evident that the conspirators were in contact with and utilized the assistance of co-conspirators in New York and Puerto Rico, some of whom have never been identified.
In yet another FALN investigation terrorist leader Oscar Lopez conspired with others both inside and outside Leavenworth Prison to escape from prison with several fellow inmates. This plot called for procuring weapons, explosives, and hijacking a helicopter to effect the escape. This conspiracy was compromised early on by a prison informant, George Lebosky, who had been recruited into the escape plan. The investigation led to FALN members negotiating for and purchasing what they believed was a large quantity of military explosives from an undercover agent. Pointing up the relations with other groups, the actual sale was not transacted with the Puerto Rican subjects who negotiated the purchase, but rather with non-Hispanics who appeared to make the purchase and thereafter transported the materials cross-country to California on behalf of the FALN.
All of these plots reveal in detail the murky nature of the FALN conspiracy. Violent and reckless, these individuals engaged in acts which only by chance did not result in more injuries and deaths of innocent persons. The intercepted conversations in the FALN investigations reflect a willingness to shoot if necessary and use explosives without consideration of consequences. It should be noted that on some occasions the intent of the organization was clearly to cause injury or death. The FALN claimed daytime bombing of a New York restaurant, packed with patrons is one example. The targeting of New York Police with a booby-trapped bomb in 1974 is another.
Examination of the Machetero investigation yields very much the same results. Little is known which defines exactly who did what within the conspiracy. Intercepted conversations clearly identify Machetreo leader Filiberto Ojeda Rios and others as being involved in the robbery of over seven million dollars from Wells Fargo in 1983. They also reveal that a large portion of the stolen funds were smuggled into Mexico and turned over to representatives of the Cuban Government. But as is the case in the FALN investigation the intercepted conversations are coded and cryptic, making it difficult if not impossible to discern who and what is being talked about.
Immediately following the 1985 arrest of many of the Macheteros one of the conspirators cooperated to some degree with the Government and verified identities of persons referred to in intercepts by code names. These statements were relied upon in prosecution to identify the subjects in the intercepted conversations. Still, even with this information discerning the specifics of who did what in many of the acts of the conspiracy remain unknown. It should be noted that Filiberto Ojeda Rios, leader of the Macheteros, was a known Cuban trained operative.
The structure and discipline of these groups served them well to cloud the specifics of individual actions within the conspiracies. Nonetheless, the intercepts and few statements of cooperative witnesses showed that these persons collectively were members of the FALN and Macheteros and therefore bear responsibility for all of their claimed actions under U.S. law.
I would like to point out that in both the various FALN prosecutions and the Machetero prosecution these persons were charged in singular Federal Judicial Districts, when in fact, the acts of the conspiracy occurred in multiple jurisdictions. Any of these individuals could have faced multiple prosecutions in the different venues. In addition to Chicago where they were captured, the FALN members could have been prosecuted in New York, where the most heinous of their crimes occurred. The Macheteros could likewise have been prosecuted for bombings and other attacks in Puerto Rico where they conducted several terrorist acts, in addition to the Hartford, Connecticut prosecution for the Wells Fargo robbery. It is only the economy of law enforcement that precluded this from happening. Being convicted and sentenced to lengthy terms in one district served as a disincentive to prosecution in another district for different crimes as there was no expectation of any greater punishment than that already meted out. Hence, the prosecutions in these cases do not fully illustrate the scope of the conspiracies, nor their impact on the public. Consequently, it is fair to say that these individuals were beneficiaries of the legal system by virtue of the fact that they were only prosecuted for some of the crimes committed by the conspiracies.
It has been suggested that the individuals granted this clemency were not "personally involved" in crimes of violence. That statement is a complete misrepresentation of fact. In the cases of the FALN and of the Macheteros the individuals were charged and convicted of being part of the conspiracy that engaged in the acts of violence which they proudly claimed credit for through written communiqués and phone calls to the press. In the case of the FALN most who were charged and convicted were shown to have gathered en-masse with disguises and illegal weapons, to have and engaged in armed takeovers and robberies and to have attempted more than once to engineer armed jailbreaks. In the case of the Macheteros the indictment charges the defendants as members of the "Macheteros," hence directly implicating them in all the acts claimed in the name of that terror organization.
This misrepresentation has been advanced by the Clinton White House through then National Security Advisor Sandy Berger. Speaking on behalf of the Clinton administration Berger stated on national television that the FALN and Macheteros were not "personally involved" in crimes of violence. This is an intentionally deceptive and specious statement. As noted above, some of those offered clemency were shown to have engaged in crimes of violence. The Government clearly showed, for example, the organization of and participation in violent attacks by Oscar Lopez through the testimony of Freddie Mendez at Lopez trial. Through electronic and physical surveillance Edwin Cortes and Alejandrina Torres were shown to have attempted an armed jailbreak, demonstrating that they were "personally involved" in planned violence which would have been carried out except for law enforcement intervention. Clearly Mr. Berger's statement is more than misleading, it is wrong. Moreover, his statement undermines the objective of conspiracy law. Because conspiracies are secretive in nature, the law casts a wide net over them, making all responsible for the acts committed in furtherance of the conspiriacy. If one were to carry Mr. Berger's premise forward, basing guilt for conspiracies of violence solely on the ability of showing each individual conspirator's specific acts, then current terrorist leaders Osama bin Laden and Khalid Sheik Mohammed would also be exonerated for the events of September 11, 2001, for it is clear they did not fly planes into buildings on that day. Just as bin Laden and other facilitators of the September 11 plot all share responsibility for the horrendous events of that day, in the same way the FALN and Machetero members share in each act committed and claimed by those organizations. The fact that the actions of individuals in a conspiracy are clouded by the clandestine and secretive nature of the conspiracy does not and should not alleviate individual responsibility.
What is most disturbing about these cases is the fact that there are so many unresolved questions. To this day no one knows who was involved in the bombing of Fraunces Tavern where four died and sixty were injured. No one has been called to answer for that attack or the attack on a U.S. Navy bus in December, 1979 in which two were killed and several others wounded. None of those granted clemency were even asked to provide the scantest bit of information regarding their knowledge of the organizations, or who may have committed what acts. The fact is that today there still remain unindicted co-conspirators in these cases who have never been identified. There still remain outstanding fugitives. There still remain unsolved crimes of homicide and attempted homicide in which the clear intent of the organizations was to kill. (I refer specifically to the bomb that injured NYPD officer Angel Poggi, the bombing of Fraunces Tavern and the attack on the Navy bus in Sebana Seca, Puerto Rico.)
Equally disturbing to all of this is the fact that these individuals did not request clemency themselves. The requests were rather carried by ostensibly religious, charitable organizations on their behalf. There is not a shred of evidence to indicate that these proponents of the clemency had any knowledge of either the facts in these cases or any understanding of the law. Yet their voices were heard by the Clinton administration while the voices of the victims and law enforcement were either not consulted or disregarded.
Ironically, the identities of the Government employees who proactively worked to secure the clemencies and what their individual roles were has also been clouded from view by a claim of Executive Privilege. Like the terrorists themselves, it seems that the Government actors and the actions are something which the Clinton White House was not willing to reveal to the American public. It can only be said that the clemencies, with no quid-pro-quo, no requirement of cooperation from the conspirators to solve outstanding crimes and no requirement of contrition, made a mockery of the American jurisprudence. The granting of clemency in these cases stands out as one of the greatest compromises of the American Justice System in history. It is my view that anyone in this government who proactively worked to bring about the clemencies betrayed their office, the victims and the American people.

One of the big talking points over here was the ambush marketing by a dutch brewery at the recent dutch game. Two of these ladies have been charged over here which is a joke in my opinion.
What I am struggling to comprehend is how a small dutch brewery has now received global advertising thanks to the stupidity of the organisers here. Had they just let the women watch the game and not made a big deal of it, it would have registered a blip in Holland and most of us would be none the wiser. Nobody drinks Bud in Holland FFS.

Adieu, Les Bleus! Mexico was really fun to watch, France didn't have a chance. Mexico vs. Argentina would be an exciting match in the next round...
I'm gonna try my best to stay up for the USA game, a definite must win if we want to advance
That was a bull **** ****ing call that ****ing disallowed the potential 3rd goal. Bull **** ****ing call.
Easy easy man. I have watched a TON of soccer, EPL, Spanish Premier, Italian Series A. That's a rough call. You never want to see it go against you. I personally don't agree with that call that took the goal from us. BUT, I have seen calls like that go both ways. Today it went against us. That's a discretionary call by the ref, and a pretty tough one at that. I think it was the wrong call, but a tough one with so many battles going on in the box at the same time. It's unfortunate but, that's how it is. Go have a beer and be happy we got a point I say!
I'm not one of those people who only turns on soccer every 4 years during the cup. I follow ManU, Barca, and Inter pretty closely. It was one of the worst calls I've seen. The players were all fighting for position and nothing happened in that scrum that warranted a whistle, it was all very standard for a free kick close to the box. That ref should be ashamed of himself, he's a ****ing disgrace.
