Let me begin this by saying that I'm sure he'll find a good new home eventually. I'm sure he'll find a good new home, and I'm sure he'll sign a good new contract. By the time it's all said and done, he will have gotten something in the neighborhood of what he deserves. But.
Today is December 23. There are two days to go until Christmas, which means it's basically already Christmas. Because it's basically already Christmas, it's basically already New Year's, which means it's basically already 2012.
There is a pitcher. He is a starting pitcher, and he is a free agent. Below, please find more facts about this pitcher:
- Over the last three years, this pitcher has posted the same ERA as James Shields.
- Over the last three years, this pitcher has posted the same FIP as Jair Jurrjens.
- Over the last three years, this pitcher has posted the same xFIP as Chad Billingsley.
- Over the last three years, this pitcher has made as many starts as Cole Hamels.
- Last year, this pitcher posted the second-lowest ERA of his career.
- This pitcher throws a harder average fastball than Brandon Morrow and Ubaldo Jimenez.
- This pitcher is a day older than Joey Votto, and two days older than Jacoby Ellsbury.
This pitcher sounds fantastic, right? Maybe "fantastic" is too strong of a word, but this pitcher sounds like a good pitcher to have. He has good stuff, he's had good results, he's durable, he's young, he's readily available - what's not to like?
This pitcher, as was given away by the headline, is Edwin Jackson. I don't know why I was trying to play the secrecy card for so long. I kind of messed that up at the very beginning. Edwin Jackson is good. He has something of a spotty reputation, but he's good, and he's there for the signing. And yet.
It isn't just that Edwin Jackson hasn't signed with anybody. Prince Fielder hasn't signed with anybody. Ryan Madson hasn't signed with anybody. Carlos Beltran signed with the Cardinals on Thursday. That much is kind of understandable.
It's that Edwin Jackson hasn't signed with anybody, and that there haven't even been rumors of pursuit. These last few days I've been reading a ton of rumors about Joe Saunders. I've seen rumors about Jeff Francis. Rumors about Hiroki Kuroda. Rumors about Roy Oswalt. Nothing on Edwin Jackson. I will refer you to Edwin Jackson's Rotoworld page. How about the most recent updates?
Dec 13
Cardinals received cash considerations from the Blue Jays to complete July's blockbuster trade involving Colby Rasmus and Edwin Jackson.
Nov 23
Edwin Jackson was offered arbitration by the Cardinals.
Nov 8
Jon Heyman of SI.com reports that the Yankees are interested in free agent Edwin Jackson, in addition to C.J. Wilson and Yu Darvish.
Oct 23
Edwin Jackson labored mightily in Game 4 of the World Series Sunday, allowing three runs on three hits and seven walks over 5 1/3 innings.
That bare. And the November 8 rumor wasn't even particularly strong. Here's the source tweet:
#yankees exec billy eppler grew up w/ cj wilson. whether this means anything, i dont know. #yanks also eye darvish & e-jax
For the sake of comparison, Prince Fielder's Rotoworld page has nine updates since last weekend. Joe Saunders has five updates since last Friday. Edwin Jackson is sitting beside the phone, trying to look busy but knowing that he looks like a man who's trying to look busy.
I get it, kind of. I really do. Edwin Jackson is represented by Scott Boras. Scott Boras clients usually don't settle real quick. It makes sense to me why the Edwin Jackson sweepstakes haven't intensified.
But the fact that said sweepstakes haven't even developed, at least publicly...we just saw the Washington Nationals pay an absolute fortune for Gio Gonzalez. Gonzalez is two years younger than Jackson, yes, but he isn't objectively better. The Gonzalez rumors came hot and heavy until their conclusion. The next Jackson rumor will be the first in well over a month.
Jackson will get his money. He'll get his team. He'll probably be satisfied. This waiting game is weird, though. All Edwin Jackson wants for Christmas is a declaration of interest.

In 2012 Madonna launched her Truth or Dare fragrance. The logo for the perfume consisted of the letter M combined with a cross symbol. The logo made perfect sense considering it was made using the letter M and a religious cross – a symbol Madonna has often used throughout her career in her music videos and photographs.

A Charlottesville icon is celebrating his 88th birthday by sharing his life's work with the community. The photography show "Roseberry's Charlottesville" kicks off Thursday at C'ville Coffee.
Ed Roseberry's photos capture the south pacific during World War II, and years of Charlottesville history. Roseberry says the show will let young people see the community's history, and remind older people of their past.
"Most local people who have been here for a long time - particularly people who are as old as I am, realize that this takes them back, gives them a window into the past, and things that they remember and enjoy," said Roseberry.
"Roseberry's Charlottesville" will show off old favorites and never before seen photos from Roseberry's collection of more than 180,000 negatives.
The show starts Thursday at C'ville Coffee at 7 p.m., and runs again on Sunday at 5 p.m.
Tickets are $5 at the door.

I've eaten at Bushido many times and enjoyed it- i wouldn't say it's anything outstanding but I live quite close and appreciate knowing I can rely on them for consistently good sushi if I get a craving or can't bring myself to cook dinner after work!
For the city paper folks: the link info provided with this write up is incorrect. I just located their actual site, bushidojapaneserestaurant.com.
Love, love, love Sushi Taro. We find this the best Sushi around, including downtown. A family run establishment with very creative sushi rolls at very reasonable prices. Hardly any cream cheese in sight, which is a huge relief! The family are always smiling and happy. They have great pricing on their wines and beers too. If you order a curry or stir fry, there can actually be too much meat in there, but I am sure most people will appreciate this. My favourite roll is called Crazy Tuna. It was on a special board once and now they will always make it for me - chock full of yummy tuna on the inside and topped off with spicy tuna on the top. Fresh, lovely and yummy! Try this place. Modern decor, friendly service and great prices. You will not regret it.
They have some solid sushi as well as cocktails at O-Ku. They 'defenetly' do not have the best sushi in the Charleston area (that's what Kanpai is for ;) ), but if you know what you are ordering, you will not be disappointed with the food/cocktails at O-Ku. The service is very hit or miss.
Is defenetly the best sushi in Charleston!!!I love the food ,staff,atmosphere i would eat eat here every day if i can afford it .LOL
I've been to Oku a number of times for drinks late-night, but finally ate there during a happy hour one Friday night. The hostess told my friend and I that they could seat us right away (somehow even though it was packed) and then our waitress warned us the food may take a while since happy hour was so busy. The sangria was delicious and our food came out really fast. My friend and I each ordered two specialty rolls and it was some of the best sushi I've had in Charleston (and I've eaten a lot of sushi!). The manager came to our table to ask how everything was. The happy hour specials are great especially for the sushi rolls. The atmosphere is also nice and great for a girls night out or a more casual date. Overall it was a great experience and I would eat there three times a week if I could afford to!
Osaka is the first Japanese restaraunt in Charleston to even come close to those I experienced while living in Japan. It is on par with the best sushi restaraunts in the Seattle area. While the food is excellent, the atmosphere is even better. We've eaten there may time since it opened and have been delighted every time.
When you are on your own its food first, decor second. Kudos to a guy that is truly a hands on owner, a bada$$ sushi chef and a humble human being.Keep on doing what you do Sean.
Oh my gosh. I'm shocked this has 4 stars... the food and service are both MEH. I wouldn't say it's terrible but definitely MEH.
Service is just kind of meh. Atmosphere also leaves something to be desired, as the tables are kind of cramped in the very narrow space.
The food, however, is outstanding and reasonably priced. Best curry this side of Calhoun. Working on King street, I eat here at least once a week.
My husband and I had food from here twice for takeout and once to dine in (in the span of about 2 weeks). We've tried a variety of the items on the menu, and everything has been terriffic. The service was more than fine the time we ate there. I highly recommend the Pad Thai and the Laos Egg Noodle Soup with Braised Pork. You can't beat the food for the price! It's one of our new favorites.
Great food for a great price.
I won't go into the whole ordeal...but based on my families experience on a single visit...I have no plans to go back.
Service was weak even though we were seated 6' from counter and there were only a couple other patrons. Waitress was more involved with setting up shop & organizing rather than waiting on customers. Meanwhile, one of the owners(?), a woman, is walking around with a glass of wine in hand and offers no assistance.
My meal came out separately and long after everyone else was served...in a party of 3. Food was not appetizing and bit 'off' from one would expect of familiar dishes.
No thank you.
Pretentious, dreadful, so noisy that it was hard to place our orders and we were hoarse when we left. Food mediocre and overpriced. Voting with my wallet, never again.
I had a terrible experience - I was disappointed and underwhelmed by the food quality and service. The staff is unfamiliar with the contents of the menu and do not communicate clearly. My order was incorrectly delivered and they served poor quality dishes. When I showed the piece of sashimi that looked as if it had been torn off by a dog, the waitress did not offer to replace the dish. The sushi roll just falls apart and they served lettuce that was not fresh. Not to mention that they had a repairman clinking and clanking in the dining area while customers were still present and eating.
Have been to Tropical Sushi on four separate occasions and have had great service until this evening. I left the amount of the bill in cash with the receipt on the table and left a good tip on the other side of the table. As I was leaving the restaurant the waiter came out of the building and approached me in a very angry tone asking why I did not leave him more money. I asked if he was referring to his tip and he said yes. I let him know I left it on the table and his response was "I did not see it." I had to take him inside and show him the tip. I still received no apology, just another angry "well, I did not see it."
If you think a customer has not left a tip, you should not approach them at all. But, if you must approach them, a polite "I'm sorry, I did not see a tip. Did you mean to leave one?" would be a more appropriate response. I will never go to Tropical Sushi again.
Thoroughly mediocre and expensive. We were excited to find a place that went beyond sushi to make a wider range of Japanese dishes. We used to love just such a place in Boston. Too bad that this one is clueless when it comes to making these dishes. If you've never had onigiri, negimaki, or steam buns before, you'll be eating an insipid imitation of the real thing. Even the ramen was hopeless - the broth was bland and watery, tasting like it had come from a packet. What a disappointment!
Can't wait to return for the sushi lunch buffet! Had sushi and sake here on Friday and it was delicious! Tried 6 different rolls and they were all great. Fish was fresh. Service was also very good. Definitely recommend this place.
Great atmosphere. We sat at the bar on both trips to Octobachi and the service was awesome. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Sushi is really good, but basic. They only have a few rolls to choose from. The hibachi is really good, flavored well, and you get quite a lot of food. The fresh spring rolls are also really great. I love that they are very into the local scene. They seem to grow a lot of their own produce as well. The only big downfall is the Pho. It is not good. At all. It tasted as if they took a beef boullion cube and put it in a bowl of water with a few noodles and a bit of beef. I would really like to see them either hone this recipe or remove the item from the menu because it is really the only blemish on an otherwise stellar menu.
I had a sushi roll that was the special that night and it was fabulous. A couple of other sushi rolls off the menu were great, too. Fresh with a nice mix of textures. The sushi isn't cheap, but it isn't unreasonably priced for the quality compared to other places in town. I would not recommend the pho. It is too expensive, and the broth is completely flavorless. Even the accompanying condiments couldn't flavor it enough. The waiter was great-very friendly, laid back, and helpful. The tables are awful. If you so much as set a glass down they jiggle uncontrollably. Crossing your legs under the table or putting your hand on it as you stand up or sit down causes your drink to slosh out of your glass. I'd definitely go back for sushi, but I'd sit at the bar.
I know it was 10pm on a Sunday. But, that's no reason for the hamachi nigiri to be almost room temperature and the wasabi to be dry. And the olives in the martini were absolutely tasteless and lacking pimentos in 2 out of 3. This place needs a good scrubbing in the back of the house. Men's restroom in serious need of attention. Also suggest covering the window in the kitchen door. Seeing food scraps all over work surfaces and general unsightliness is disturbing.

CLAYTON — The final play of the second round, 3A state softball playoff game between Cleveland and Central Davidson seems to summarize perfectly the Rams' season thus far.
As Cleveland pitcher Taylor Drayton scrambled to pick up the ball hit solidly right at her that had deflected off her glove, she remained calm and finished the play.
Drayton recovered in time to get Spartans leadoff hitter Josie Jones, the potential game-tying run, by less than a step at first base to preserve a 3-1 Ram victory over Central Davidson.
"I was nervous, but at the same time I knew I had to get the out to win the game," Drayton said of the play. "Personally, I do better in pressure situations because I know I have to get it (done) so I know what to do."
What Drayton did all night long, as she has for most of the season, was retire hitters. The sophomore pitcher tossed the complete game gem in which she allowed just the one run on four hits while striking out seven batters in contrast to just one walk handed out.
Drayton's lone base on balls issued during the game eventually scored on a Cassie Fortner RBI single in the third inning that tied the game at 1.
"She was on; everything was working," Cleveland coach Samantha Coats said of her pitcher's performance. "When she's on, it's hard to beat us.
"No matter what, she going to finish, she's going to finish out."
Central Davidson's Kailee Mabe kept the Spartans' hopes alive in the top of the seventh inning with a two-out double to left field, allowing Jones to come to the plate representing the tying run.
On the final play, however, Jones made good contact and sent the ball right back at Drayton who was able to get her glove on it before chasing it down and turning to nab Jones at first base to secure the final out.
"That pretty much sums up our year," Coats said. "No matter what, we get our composure back and we finish."
Drayton helped get things going for the Rams in the first inning too with a leadoff walk before she took third base on what amounted to a swinging bunt from Maura Mangum.
Heather McLean proceeded to ground out to the pitcher but not before Drayton crossed home plate to score the game's first run.
With the score tied in the bottom of the third, Brittany Bucklin similarly drove in a run on a hard hit groundball to second base to give Cleveland, co-champions of the Two Rivers Conference, the 2-1 lead.
Becca Straka added some insurance in the fourth inning with an RBI double.
"I could tell that my girls wanted it tonight," said Coats. "They had a lot of heart the whole game. They've never been where they are right now; it's a huge accomplishment for them."

Not only do the standard underwater lights make your boat look extra sexy at the dock, but if you ever happen to fish for bait at night, they really come in handy!
Design and Construction
Albemarle's laminate schedule includes a skin coat of vinylester resins to prevent osmotic blistering. A solid fiberglass running surface, deck and superstructure make for a reliable, ironclad hull.
We could easily flush-mount a pair of 12-inch navigation displays in the helm without disturbing the VesselView LCD readout panel. I imagine that Albemarle has plans to power this outboard boat with inboards or perhaps Volvo IPS at some time in the future since it has a mammoth compartment amidships. Without engines there, you'll never run short of enough storage space to accommodate half of your worldly possessions.
Belowdecks, you'll find a standard layout with a small galley to port with a sink, refrigerator and microwave; a V-berth with a dinette-table insert; and a head to starboard. As usual, Albemarle doesn't skimp on the fine woods, Corian counters or entertainment system. However, were it my boat, I'd probably mount the TV screen on the forward bulkhead in the anchor-locker hatch cover so that you could watch it both from the dinette and while reclining in bed. As it stands now, it's on the aft bulkhead.
Certainly, this boat offers the amenities and space of a larger boat. It fishes exceptionally well and won't break the bank to run. And it's one of the few Albemarles powered with outboards! That's just what we need in today's economic climate.

User x already has more than 'max_user_connections' active connections in
Yesterday, my website is inaccessible. The error prompts:
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: User x already has more than 'max_user_connections' active connections in /home/musicast/public_html/libs/adodb/drivers/adodb-mysql.inc.php on line 364
Fatal error: Call to a member function GetAll() on a non-object in /home/musicast/public_html/modules/frontend.php on line 26
The hosting not so helpful support told that the user had too many connection and have to look into the script the cause of this and close that connection.
I'm using ADODb connect function to connect to database, not the persistent one, and my assumption it's automatically close when the queries are finish.
I also try the Close() function but it didn't work.
Would someone help me solve this problem?
Thank you.

From some searching it is my understanding that your host will need to kill the current connections that are still sitting there open. Once that is accomplished, add the close() function and run a few tests. Then have your host check to see if any connections were still left open, as if they are the close() did nothing to resolve the issue.

If most disc's can hold up to 80 minutes of music, why only 37 minutes on this greatest hits collection? Then I have to think back to 1980, and cd's really weren't around yet. The album was still short tho. 37 minutes might be okay if it's a regular studio album, but a band as HUGE as Aerosmith can't be served justice with a best-of package containing 10 fairly short songs. I own everything Aerosmith has ever done with the exception of 1994's "Box of Fire". Aerosmith has some great albums to draw songs from for their 1st and most important "Greatest Hits" package. Possible songs from their debute: "Mama Kin" & "Make It". From "Get Your Wings": "Season's Of Wither" and "Train Kept A Rollin'". How about the title track from "Toys in the Attic"? Possible tunes from perhaps the greatest hard rock album EVER…. "Rocks": "Nobody's Fault", "Sick as a Dog", or "Home Tonight". They grabbed the right tunes from "Draw The Line" – no problems there. And they missed from "Night in The Ruts" the two best tunes, "No Surprize" and "Three Mile Smile". Everyone's tastes are different and you can't please everyone… my thinking is that for the most part this is a pretty good play list of songs, BUT, it is way too short -and- some Aero tunes were more deserving than others. Remember this – all Aerosmith is CLASSIC.
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
The original Aerosmith compilation has become nothing more than a relic for completists. Originally released as a single LP record in 1980, there are only 9 songs from their first six records (with two of them, "Sweet Emotion" and "Kings and Queens", substantially edited) and the Beatles cover, "Come Together" (originally featured on the 'Sgt. Pepper's' movie soundtrack – you know, the one with the Bee Gees). For the casual fan, you can get just as many unedited songs from that era on the newest compilation, 'Oh Yeah!"
Yes, it packs a punch – but a very short punch. Aerosmith had so many great songs and radio staples in this era, collecting a mere ten of them for a 'greatest hits' compilation just doesn't do the band justice. And a few selections simply don't belong:"Come Together" was a nice, sleazy cover of the Beatles' classic but not one of the band's better recordings; and "(Remember) Walking in the Sand" is just plain weak. "Kings and Queens" is a good – though not particularly great – song that loses some of it's charm in this edited version.Of course, there are some downright essential 70s hard rock tunes here, such as "Dream On", "Walk This Way", "Sweet Emotion", "Last Child", & "Back in the Saddle".But the fact that other well-known gems like "Mama Kin", "Train' Kept a Rollin' and "Toys in the Attic" are left off is particularly disappointing given the inclusion of lesser songs and the extremely short running time. For Aerosmith, an album band that produced so many great tunes, a 'best of' compilation should have at least more than thirty minutes of stellar material.'Greatest Hits' is a disappointment and casual fans looking for a decent overview of the band's early career should not purchase it without also picking up "Gems", a collection of more great vintage Aerosmith. For an even better experience you may want to delve into the actual albums ('Toys in the Attic' and 'Rocks' are outstanding, and their others are quite solid as well).
You gotta look at this CD as more of a "primer" to test the waters to see if you want more early Aerosmith CD's than as the end-all CD to replace all their other 70's albums. It only has ten songs, true, but bear in mind this is a 1980 release. 10 songs was pretty much the industry standard for any album back then. It contains severely edited versions of several songs, the most horrible example being "Sweet Emotion", which deletes the cool talk-box guitar intro and the coda section where it really kicks back in (this version just fades out). Once again, like it or not, this is typical of "greatest hits" albums (hey, the "hit" radio versions of songs typically ARE shortened versions of what you get on the albums). But for those of you only familiar with "Walk This Way", "Sweet Emotion", and "Dream On" from their 70's heyday, you'll find some nice surprises here. "Back In The Saddle", with its galloping rhythm and cool 12-string bass lines, is one of the best things they've ever done, and "Last Child" is a catchy funky number featuring some great Steven Tyler yelps at the end. "Same Old Song And Dance" is another riff-driven rocker with horns (Aerosmith had to be one of the pioneers of combining hard rock with horns). "Draw The Line" is a good noise-rocker that features a great slide guitar riff. People have griped about the inclusion of "Come Together" here, but keep it mind it's not available on any other Aerosmith albums other than the pricey "Pandora's Box" (and it WAS a Top 40 hit – therefore a GREATEST HIT). "Kings & Queens" and "Remember (Walking In The Sand)" don't do much for me, but they at least show a softer side of the band, leaning more towards art rock and 60's R&B respectively. Get this, let it grow on you, then pick up "Toys In The Attic" and "Rocks". And then ROCK!
AEROSMITH'S GREATEST HITS is a 10 track collection of songs originally released in 1980, remastered in 1993, that included their biggest hits from 1973's AEROSMITH, 1974's GET YOUR WINGS, 1975's TOYS IN THE ATTIC, 1976's ROCKS, 1977's DRAW THE LINE, 1978's SEARGEANT PEPPER'S SOUNDTRACK, and 1979's NIGHT IN THE RUTS albums. PERMANENT VACATION, PUMP, etc. hadn't even been concieved yet. That having been said, let's focus on the material that is included here.Track 1, DREAM ON, is really the only true worthy track from the AEROSMITH debut album. This is a classic that was re-released as a single in 1976 after the success of TOYS IN THE ATTIC. FM classic rock stations still play this one today.Track 2, SAME OLD SONG AND DANCE, is the only track from the GET YOUR WINGS album. While this is a great song, TRAIN KEPT' A ROLLIN' would have been a better choice if they were only going to pick one for this album.Track 3, SWEET EMOTION, from the TOYS IN THE ATTIC album has been butchered here. The track starts out already in progress. It's like switching the radio dial and finding an AEROSMITH song that had already started before you switched the dial. This track clocks in at 3:12, whereas the TOYS IN THE ATTIC version clocks in at 4:34.Track 4, WALK THIS WAY, also from the TOYS IN THE ATTIC album, is essential on any AEROSMITH greatest hits collection. But just like SWEET EMOTION, it has been cut from it's original 3:40 to 3:12.Track 5, LAST CHILD, from the ROCKS album is essential and is intact.Track 6, BACK IN THE SADDLE, also from the ROCKS album is essential and is intact.Track 7, DRAW THE LINE, from the DRAW THE LINE album, is one of two essential tracks from that album.Track 8, KINGS AND QUEENS, also from the DRAW THE LINE album, is the other essential track. Like SWEET EMOTION, they've butchered it badly here – starting already in progress, and cut way short. Disappointing!Track 9, COME TOGETHER, is essential from the band's participation in the SEARGEANT PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND movie soundtrack. This was a very popular single that Aerosmith released in 1978.Track 10, REMEMBER (WALKING IN THE SAND), from the NIGHT IN THE RUTS album was a popular single in 1979.All in all, AEROSMITH'S GREATEST HITS is a very good representation of Aerosmith's work in the 70's. My biggest complaint is about the butchering of SWEET EMOTION, WALK THIS WAY, and KINGS AND QUEENS.Start with TOYS IN THE ATTIC and ROCKS, and then build your collection from there. It'll cost more than the AEROSMITH'S GREATEST HITS CD, but it'll be worth it.

BOSTON -- Orioles second baseman Brian Roberts has been ramping up efforts in his progression -- sliding and doing a substantial pregame workout prior to Friday's game -- and the veteran infielder believes he could be ready to go on a rehab assignment in the near future.
"We are definitely a lot closer than we've ever been," said Roberts, who hasn't played in a Major League game in nearly a year, of his return. "Obviously we don't have an [exact] time right now, but we're as close as we've ever been for sure.
"I'm optimistic and excited about hopefully what the next little while holds."
Roberts has gradually worked his way up to watching full games in the dugout, something he accomplished in New York, where he also served as pseudo-hitting coach Tuesday, when Jim Presley was hospitalized with a kidney stone.
"I gave a lot of advice," Roberts joked of the O's 7-1 win that night. "Not really. Basically, I just stood there, clapped. I tried to take Pres out the next game, but we won [that, too], so it's good."
Another encouraging sign on this road trip for Roberts? Crossing another barrier transportation-wise. While the 34-year-old has had no problems flying with the team, going on the entire three-city road trip last month, Roberts admitted taking the train from New York to Boston may have been a bigger test.
"I didn't feel great," Roberts said of the approximately four-hour train ride. "But I'm not going to lie, I didn't used to feel that great [on it] anyways. It's probably even worse now, but I didn't use to like it either.
"I survived it. It wouldn't be my first choice [for traveling]. It's a lot with everything going by you. It's definitely a vestibular challenge."
Roberts hadn't spoken with his doctors since departing New York on Wednesday night. He planned on touching base on Friday, and he was upbeat about what he's been able to accomplish the past few days. He simulated double plays in the field, hit and hit the weight room as part of his workout and punctuated Friday's interview with several laughs and jokes.
"Brian has this wired," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said of Roberts' timetable. "He's talking to the right people about what he feels and what he doesn't feel. I let him initiate it. We'd love to have him tomorrow or today. It's such an inexact thing, and I'm leaning on him. He's been the best barometer of this thing all along, and I think even I lost sight of that. We already have talked about [his schedule], I just don't broadcast it."
Executive vice president for baseball operations Joe Torre has overturned the error originally given to Yankees left fielder Eduardo Nunez in the sixth inning of the Orioles' win on Tuesday. Since the ball didn't touch Nunez's glove, it is now being scored a double for Nick Johnson, who got his first two hits of the season in that game.
Rule 5 Draft pick Ryan Flaherty -- who is a Maine native -- will have a lot of people in the stands over this three-game series in Boston. Flaherty, who grew up a Red Sox fan, estimated he'd have about 20-30 people here over the weekend.
In light of Mariano Rivera's right knee injury, O's closer Jim Johnson said he won't alter his pregame routine and will continue to join the rest of the relievers by shagging outfield balls during pregame batting practice. Manager Buck Showalter, who was Rivera's first Major League manager with the New York Yankees, called the season-ending injury sad news.
"He was our best center fielder," Showalter said of Rivera. "We used to play a game in extended spring, on Sunday camp day, we'd let the pitchers play a game off the coaches. ... I remember telling our farm director, 'If we figure out that this guy can't pitch, he can play center field.' He and Bernie [Williams] used to go back and forth about who was the best center fielder. It was part of his conditioning, part of why he's been so good, his routine.
Showalter said he has no plans to alter what his pitchers do in regard to pregame BP.
"The way most guys are, they're shagging, but they're standing out there," he said. "If it's hit right in my glove I catch it. I'm not saying [Johnson] is one of those guys, but it's not like they're moving a great distance. It's like bicycles, some things you can get overly cautious on, too."

About Me Stylish
This is absolutely one of the most flattering, comfortable swimsuits I've ever owned. Good coverage without being matronly! Substantial fabric, wonderful supportive lining, good length, great fit. I did order a size up because I'm busty and have a long torso, so something to keep in mind as you consider what size you need. The only tiny little thing that could possibly make this gorgeous suit better...adjustable lingerie straps. Otherwise, don't change a thing, and ladies...don't let that stop you from trying this most excellent suit!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I bought a size 18. I am 5'5" tall 195lbs, smaller on the top 36C-D and have large hips. This bathing suit fits great. NO pulling and not tight on legs. I guess the only thing that would have made it a perfect fit would be adjustable straps. If I did not have larger hips I would prob be a 14-16 so the adjustable straps would help to make it fit more perfect. This pattern is very flattering. I also bought the black with pink...fits as nice but not as pretty. I would definetly buy two for this price so you can have one while the other dries.

Beautiful lovely suit! My only con is that it was too low for me in the bust area. Gave it to my mother as she's a little smaller then I am. Loved the suit, color, fit ad length of skirt!!!! She likes it a ton!!!

About Me Comfort-oriented, Practical
Love this suit, the colors are flattering as well as the fit BUT this suit is definitely TRUE to size. If you wear a 16 then BUY a 16. Sadly for me, I wear a 16 and had to purchase an 18 (making the suite feel too big) because I am a 36DDD. I noticed ALL suits on this site cater to the DD or smaller, but I figured it would work. And it did but there was absolutely NO support. Now had the straps been crossed in the back it would have been much better - but the regular lingerie straps just don't cut it when it comes to support. I could've had that easy alteration done, but I still wasn't pleased on how it made my breasts look, plus it felt a little large since I had to go up a size. Sad because the rest of the suit was great! Sigh. I'll return and continue looking.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

How to upload images - is something missing?
20 July 2011 at 1:49am
I inherited a SilverStripe site and was able to install it and get it "running." According to the instructions and screen shot on http://userhelp.silverstripe.org/for-website-content-editors/working-with-images-and-documents/, there is to be a link to "upload file" This is not appearing on my admin site. I have attached a screen shot of both the site content with the add images pane open and the files & images pages. I don't see anywhere to add images from anywhere than what is on the site currently. I need to add images from my desktop. The 3rd image is a shot of the folders/files in the public folder of my site to give those that understand the programming and idea of the programming the site came with. Am I missing a plug in? My goal here is to get image gallery installed and have tried numerous times and have gotten to different stages before failure. Then I looked more closely to the site and found this upload problem and realize I need to correct this before continuing my experimentation to make image gallery work successfully.
Thanks for any help!
Re: How to upload images - is something missing?
21 July 2011 at 6:32am
I know the upload image link was removed from the HTML edit field in 2.3 because of a issue. Its back in 2.4. So you either need to use the Files & Images Pane or Upgrade to 2.4 (though I don't know if I'd recommend that on an inherited site for someone new to the CMS).
On my 2.3 sites I usually upload files via FTP. Once you've uploaded the files makes sure you go to Files & Images before you try to add the image to a page. The file Database is re-built every time you go to that tab (in 2.4 there's button to do this rebuild instead).
I've been dragging my heel upgrading those sites to 2.4 because I know there a re few incompatibilities with some of the older code I use
Good Luck
Re: How to upload images - is something missing?
21 July 2011 at 6:59am
Thank you for such a complete answer!. I have tried to upgrade the site to 2.4 and that was a total failure. I am trying to add the image gallery to the site. I was close once, but couldn't get the images to upload. So I started with the original site and wanted to be sure that I could upload to it. Just tested and it does work through the files and images tab - so at least my basic beginnings work.
Re: How to upload images - is something missing?
21 July 2011 at 7:28am
Yeah tracking down the incompatibility may be a little tricky. I recommend doing a local install of the 2.4, and manually adding each module/class and testing it one by one until it fails a dev/build. I'm sure theres an easier way using eclipse or the like a dev environment but I haven't felt like dealing with the learning curve
Re: How to upload images - is something missing?
21 July 2011 at 7:32am
At this point I am trying one more time to "upgrade" the necessary pieces to make the image gallery work. That failing, hopefully I can add a Photo Gallery using Gallery (another open source product) and link it to the silverstripe site. I have not searched, but do you happen to know if there is a way to add links to the navigation system of silverstripe that would go to this other portion of the site? And can I even add another "program" to my public folder where the silverstipe programming lives without messing up the silverstripe site.
Re: How to upload images - is something missing?
21 July 2011 at 7:47am
I've used previous versions of Gallery with SilverStripe Sites while I worked through other site issues (though I used a subdomain). It may cause problems with modrewrite rules, take a look at this http://archive.ssbits.com/using-other-systems-together-with-silverstripe/
as for linking to it, you can always just hardcode a link into the template or use a redirector page
Re: How to upload images - is something missing?
21 July 2011 at 7:52am
You are being so helpful - I can't thank you enough! I will be using Gallery 1.5 - definitely an old version but perfect for what I need. Would you happen to know where information on hardcoding a link might be found? (I have tried for hours to search this site for answers to my questions but I guess I don't know how to search it correctly.
Re: How to upload images - is something missing?
21 July 2011 at 8:03am
It'll be in one of the tempaltes, most people either do it in the main page.ss or the include a navigation.ss
It usally look something like this
<% control Menu(1) %>
$MenuTitle
<% end_control %>
I see from your screen shots you're on a mac, you can always do spotlight search in the correct theme directory for <% control Menu(1) %>
Then all you have to do is add the html for the link to the page like it was a normal html file.

I am in one of those Yahoo pro leagues, currently sitting in first place. I got a trade offer from one of the guys in the basement.
I recieve: Patrick Sharp, Cam Ward
I give: Pekka Rinne
If Cam Ward wasn't a bum this year i would do this trade in a second. My goalie play has kind of been carrying me for the early part of the season so i am a little hesitant to give up Rinne. As it stands right now i have Rinne, Rask, Harding, and Lehtonen who is on IR.
I am pretty torn on this. I get the offensive help i need but will have to part with one of the best goalies in the league. Cam Ward is no slouch but his team is brutal this year.

This is in response to the recent article concerning U.S. Sen. Olympia Snowe and the tea party.
I feel it is too late and hypocritical for the Senator to appeal for party unity. She and Sen. Susan Collins sided with the Democrats on spending money that this country doesn't have.
Maine and the country as a whole need fiscal conservatives if they are ever going to get out of this mess.

"That little box was all I had," she said. "That became very important to me during my grieving process."
So, when Woods found out that Walker Baptist Medical Center needed help with their memory boxes, she decided to get involved.
"The nurses at the hospital were going to buy little things when they needed them," Woods said.
So Woods gathered others that she knew had suffered a similar loss and formed the Hope After Loss Organization, or H.A.L.O. They decorate the boxes and include baby clothes, a handprint kit, a teddy bear, a keepsake for the moms, literature on loss and resources and a disposable camera in case the parents want to take pictures of their child. The group is now providing boxes for Walker Baptist Medical Center and Princeton Baptist Medical Center.
"I feel like I'm getting to do something to honor my baby, and it also helps the hospital," Woods said.
The group meets the second Tuesday of each month at 6 p.m. at the Walker County Schools Health Services Building. Woods says the group of women mostly talk, work on memory boxes and discuss fundraising for their events.
"There are no counselors, just a bunch of women who have lost babies," Woods explained. "Sometimes that's what you need, someone who has been there and knows how you feel."
This year, the group hosted a Mother's Day Banquet for the mothers who have suffered a loss, and next year they hope to expand the banquet to include all the parents who have suffered a loss.
The group will also be marking the Worldwide Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day on Oct. 15 with a candlelight ceremony at the Prayer Garden across from First Baptist Church in Jasper at 6:30 p.m.
"We'd like to invite anyone to attend," Woods said.
The group will also be at the Health Fair on Nov. 2 at the Jasper Mall for anyone who wants more information or to donate to their cause. They sell t-shirts and cookbooks and do various other fundraisers to help fund their efforts.

Crunch time: the Obameter is turning red
By Martha M. Hamilton
Published on Tuesday, August 17th, 2010 at 10:37 a.m.
Nineteen months into his presidency, Barack Obama is finding it tougher to fulfill his campaign promises.
By our count he's fulfilled 120 of them, including many that were in the economic stimulus bill and the Democratic overhaul of health care. He's also fulfilled many through simple presidential muscle, by issuing executive orders or taking other actions that don't need congressional approval.
But as Obama faces a polarized Congress with limited political capital, it has become increasingly difficult to keep his promises. Some of our recent ratings:
* Promise Broken for his pledge to push hard for immigration reform in his first year. We didn't catch this promise when we first put together our list, but it wasn't fulfilled in his first year because of the emphasis on health care.
* Compromise for his promise to eliminate the disparity between crack and powder cocaine. We found the disparity was reduced but not eliminated.
* Promise Broken for his pledge to provide an annual report on the state of our energy future.
To keep up with his promises, check our Obameter page, which has a running tally with our latest ratings. Our latest count:
Kept -- 120
Compromise -- 39
Broken -- 22
Stalled -- 81
In the Works -- 241

Big trouble in the frozen-food aisle
With products in the freezer section suffering flat sales, a major ad campaign is coming to get consumers interested again.
TV dinners are feeling their age.
Once seen as cutting-edge and convenient options, frozen dinners and other freezer-aisle items are getting a chilly reaction from consumers in favor of fresh food.
Now the American Frozen Food Institute and the Frozen Food Roundtable, whose members include industry giants such as ConAgra (CAG) and General Mills (GIS), are fighting back. They're planning an advertising campaign that could shell out as much as $50 million, all to try to get consumers to buy frozen again, Advertising Age reports.
One of the biggest challenges to the frozen-food industry is the popularity of ad campaigns for restaurants like Wendy's (WEN), which advertises "fresh, never frozen," food, the story notes.
Wendy's isn't the only company jumping onto the fresh-food bandwagon. Chipotle (CMG) touts its "fresh cooking," while Subway urges consumers to "eat fresh."
Consumers are seeking out fresh food because frozen food is commonly associated with high sugar, fat, preservatives and other coronary-clogging baddies delivered in sauce-laden entrees and rich ice cream treats.
The result? Big-time freezer burn.
The frozen-food industry, which is searching for an ad agency to lead the push, wants to target baby boomer, millennial and Hispanic shoppers, AdAge notes.
One proposal from agency McCann Erickson, which is considered the leader in the ad agency search, suggests messages with taglines like "Frozen. How fresh stays fresh." Rival taglines from other agencies include "Fresh just frozen" and "Open up to frozen."
Frozen-food sales were flat in 2012, according to a study from Packaged Facts that was cited by Food Product Design.
The top reason for avoiding frozen food was a preference for fresh items. About one-fifth of consumers say they avoid frozen food for reasons such as not liking the taste or concerns about nutrition and quality, the study found.
Follow Aimee Picchi on Twitter at @aimeepicchi.
Naturally, eating fresh food is healthier than frozen any day, but sometimes I just don't have the energy to cook from scratch and so grab a frozen dinner.

Roy Cummings of the Tampa Tribune is reporting that Jones, a former 2nd round draft pick of the Cleveland Browns, will visit One Buc Place tomorrow. Jones recorded 61 tackles, one sack, five pass deflections and two interceptions last year with Philadelphia.
According to Cummings, Jones is known for his run support and could be a possible candidate to take over the strong safety position next season, as Sabby Piscitelli has been deemed unable to perform at a desirable level.
As rjblitz02 reported last night in his fanshot, the Bucs are also rumored to be interested in Cleveland safety Brodney Pool, and Miami safety Gibril Wilson. A visit with these two players has yet to be confirmed.

Episode 50 Premieres on Home Video
Another ghostly cinéma vérité style flick is on its way to DVD courtesy of Image Entertainment, and we've got your first details, a trailer, and badass artwork for Episode 50 right here! Dig it!
Submitted by Steve Barton on Thu, 01/26/2012 - 2:53pm
Badass One-Sheet for the Ghostly Episode 50
The last time we heard anything about the release of the new ghost hunting gone completely awry flick Episode 50 was way back in October of last year. Things have been quiet for a bit, but wow, are the filmmakers making some noise with their latest one-sheet! The premise of the film is simple:
More Ghost Hunters Get Busted in Episode 50
Have you noticed the increase in horror movies about the crews of ghost hunting television programs getting much more than they bargained for? The latest to join this ever-growing subgenre of ghost hunters getting hunted is Episode 50. Odds are they won't be alive to film a 51st episode.

Layout: Active links with CSSstarted by Vladimir on Jan 6, 2004 — RSS Feed
Posts: 53
I created a navigation bar with CSS. Each link is inside a DIV. I have made it so that the link text have LINK, VISITED, HOVER, and ACTIVE properties.
When I preview the page, in this case in IE6, the rollovers work fine at first. But after I clicked on one, without moving to another page, and roll over it again, it doesn't work.
In addition, how do I make it so that the current page link is a different color when it is opened? the ACTIVE property doesn't seem to work.
Thx in advance.

aseudo-classes need to be in order:
Have you considered using unordered lists instead of divs?
In order to make the current page link a different colour you can use contextual CSS and IDs and a local stylesheet on each page with the information, or script a solution along those lines.
:active is only for when you click on the link and hold it, it doesn't apply to the current url at all.

Best way to prepare bacon
A chef offers this recipe for perfectly crisped yet moist bacon, on the Huffington Post blog:
"Spread your bacon evenly in a pan on high heat and cover the bacon with water. You want just enough water to cover the bacon."
As chef Bryan Roof explains, "Water keeps the initial cooking temperature low, which helps the bacon retain some of its moisture and keeps it tender. When the water starts to boil, lower the heat from high to medium. The water will simmer away, at which point you have to turn the heat down again from medium to low, until the bacon is browned, crisp and ready."
Best way to clean your pillows
Your pillow can harbor all kinds of mites and allergens. The Clean My Space blog suggests that you launder your pillows three times per year and replace them every two years. The blogger says this method works for polyester and feather-filled pillows, but don't use it on silk or foam pillows. We've excerpted the steps here:
1 Use a gentle detergent (preferably one that is scent-free).
2 Press out as much air as possible before loading the pillow into the washer.
3 For top-load machines, wash two pillows at a time for balance (or else you will hear a loud knocking sound coming from your washer).
4 Front-load washers don't have an agitator, so you can do one to two per load. Set your machine to run a full cycle using warm water. Run a second spin cycle to help eliminate excess moisture. By removing excess moisture, you'll help reduce mold growth and development of unpleasant odors.
5 To dry, place a tennis ball in a clean sock and tie sock to secure the tennis ball. Place two sock-wrapped tennis balls in the dryer. They will help beat out excess moisture. Put the pillows in the dryer on a low heat setting. It may take a few cycles to fully dry the pillows.
Blogger Melissa says you can test to see whether you need a new pillow by folding the pillow in half. If it bounces back readily, it's still good. If it doesn't bounce back, it's time to replace. Learn these and other helpful tips at http://nando.com/fs.

A long course wth plenty of variety and elevation. Will challenge golfers to use all their shots. Holes #2, #4 and #7 are particularly tough. Has a nice mix of wooded holes that require a well placed drive and open fairways that let you air it out. Definitely print a map your first time but well worth the effort. Well maintained wth nice tees and baskets.

In September, Lawson sued the bar in Philadelphia Common Pleas Court, seeking an unspecified amount in damages not to exceed $50,000.
In the lawsuit, Lawson, of South Philadelphia, alleges he sustained a broken tooth and injuries to his face, leg and ankle during the incident.
The alleged incident took place about 1:30 a.m. July 20 on the second floor of the bar, according to the lawsuit.
"The [bouncer] punched [Lawson] in his face for no reason," the lawsuit states. "The [bouncer] acted without any legal cause in assaulting [Lawson]. The [bouncer], in addition to punching [Lawson] in the face, caused or contributed to [Lawson] being knocked down the steps and injured."
Lawson's attorney, William E. Averona, said his client's friend was being escorted out originally, and that Lawson got caught in the melee.
In the suit, Lawson contends he asked the bouncer to stop assaulting him.
"The [bouncer] refused to stop pushing and assaulting [Lawson] despite [Lawson's] repeated requests for him to curtail his activities," the lawsuit states. "As a direct and proximate result of the [bouncer's] actions in concert with at least one other bouncer, [Lawson] was caused to fall down several steps, injuring his body. [Lawson] in no way contributed to the assault upon his person."
Averona said his client attempted to file a private criminal complaint against the bouncer shortly after the incident.
But since Lawson doesn't know the bouncer's name, the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office wouldn't accept his complaint for investigation, Averona said.
The bouncer is identified in the lawsuit as "John Doe."
"I just want my client fairly compensated for his injuries," Averona told PGN. "He did nothing to warrant the excessive force that was used against him. If he did something wrong, why didn't they press criminal charges?"
Michael Weiss, an owner of the bar, couldn't be reached for comment.
According to the lawsuit, Woody's Bar failed to adequately screen, train and supervise its employees.
"You don't come up to a man and punch him in the face because he's not moving fast enough — and break his tooth," Averona continued. "They shouldn't have ogres running around, punching people in the face."
Averona described the bouncer as a "big African-American man with dreadlocks," but didn't have additional details as to his identity.
He said Lawson no longer patronizes the bar, located at 202 S. 13th St.
The lawsuit goes on to say that the bouncer may have acted negligently during the incident.
"As [Lawson] was leaving the premises with other patrons, the [bouncer] improperly touched Lawson either intentionally or in a negligent fashion, causing him to fall down the steps and injure his body," the suit states. "As a result of the various acts and omissions of Woody's agents and employees, Lawson was caused to suffer painful injuries to his left ankle and leg, his face and a broken tooth."
Lawson had to expend significant sums of money for medical care due to the incident and seeks reimbursement, according to the lawsuit.
Lawson's injuries have also limited his ability to enjoy social and personal activities, according to the lawsuit.
A hearing before a three-member arbitration panel is set for 9:30 a.m. May 29 at the city's Arbitration Center, 1880 JFK Blvd., fifth floor.
Members of the panel haven't been named at presstime.
Averona said he's willing to take the case to a jury if the outcome of the of the arbitration process is unsatisfactory to Lawson.
"It's wrong what happened to my client."

A Falls View man recently was recognized in Field &
Stream Magazine for his love of the outdoors.
The magazine profiled Ernie Nester in its December/January
issue as part of its Heroes in Conservation program.
Each month, Field & Stream honors three grassroots
conservationists to recognize sportsmen who go above and beyond in the
protection of fish, wildlife and habitat.
As part of the recognition, Nester will receive a $500
conservation grant from Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., and he also is eligible for
the Heroes of Conservation grand price – a new Toyota Tundra.
Nester organizes a major trash cleanup along 4 miles of
Elkhorn Creak each April with the Kanawha Valley chapter of Trout Unlimited. He
also has mobilized an annual volunteer "bucket brigade" to haul 10 tons of
limestone sand, to neutralize acid rain runoff, through a vehicle-restricted
wilderness area to the Middle Fork of the Williams River.
Nester said in fewer than 10 years, he's begun to see young
brookies in what used to be barren waters, which is very satisfying.
"Hunters and fishermen have never been afraid to roll up
their sleeves and get to work in the name of protecting America's wildlife and
wild places, and Ernie is a great example of that ethos hard at work,"
Editorial Director of Field & Stream Anthony Licata said in a news release.
"Conservation is and will always be an integral part of hunting and fishing,
and men and women like Ernie are crucial to keeping our traditions alive for
generations to come."
The Heroes of Conservation program is in its 8th year. To be
considered for the program, individuals must be involved in a hunting- and/or
fishing-related conservation project that is well under way with outstanding
results, according to a news release from Field & Stream. The selections
are based on a number of factors, including leadership, commitment and project
The magazine selects six finalists each fall to go to
Washington, D.C. and attend an awards gala when one of them is selected as the
Conservation Hero of the Year.

Quillin-Guerrero conference call erupts
Heres some of the dialog from a recent teleconference discussing the April 27th fight between WBO middleweight champion Peter Quillin and Fernando Guerrero.
Quillin: Like I hear Fernando talking about hes doing it for the fans and hes doing it for everybody. But to be able to do it for somebody else, you have to be able to do it for yourself first to be able to prove to other people that, you know what Im saying, youre doing it for yourself; and thats what the fans are going to support, you doing it for yourself.
So, me doing this, its more than just like for Cuba and my father, who came over here with just a pair of pants and a shirt with no shoes on and come over here to make a-
Guerrero: Im sorry to cut you off, Peter.
Quillin: I didnt cut you off.
(Overlapping voices)
Guerrero: I could never do it for somebody else.
Quillin: I respect what youre doing. I respect what youre doing, but when I gave the opportunity to talk and you gave your long answers, I respect that, but now its my turn to talk. Im the champion; respect the champ.
Right now Im telling you that whatever youre doing and for whatever reasons youre doing it, youre finding the wrong reasons and Im going to exploit those reasons why youre doing this for the wrong people. The only thing amounts to when hes talking running from a cat is when you run into this whole thing and hes mad that he ran from the cat. All right, when he comes out of the hole and he decides that hes going to fight the cat and be able to put up a fight and he decided its a fight that he cant win, he runs back to the hole.
Listen man, we both fought older guys. We both had those kind of things in our life to say what we at, why we are at now in life, and right now Im trying to prove to myself that Im the strongest champion out there. You will not beat me April 27th. The only thing youre going to know how to do is run back in that hole like you did with Grady Brewer. You know how to lose. Me and you fighting from two different points of views; you fighting not to want to lose again. Im fighting to keep my undefeated record and be the powerful champion that God sent me here to be.
Guerrero: Are you done?
Quillin: Yes, lets keep it short and straight to the point because thats what Im going to do when I fight you. Were going to keep it straight, straight to the point.
Guerrero: The only way we can keep it straight and short to the point is in the ring, my man, you know.
(Overlapping voices)
Quillin: Im going to prove that April 27th. It is already said and done man.
Guerrero: You just started yesterday and God has blessed you and theres no doubt, but I dont respect nobody because Im the champ. When you get into the ring, youre not going to fight .
Quillin: No, youre fighting an animal, a hungry little animal, thats what youre fighting. The only thing youre going to be in this fight is
Guerrero: Every animal has his day and youre not an animal until you face me.
Quillin: Im the champ. Im the champ. Im the champ.
Question: Fernando, I know you have a huge following in Salisbury, Maryland. I was just wondering what type of a response youre expecting when you step into Barclays, you know, tapped into the Dominican community from New York City.
Guerrero: Well like I said, the following has always been great, but all I need is one or two people. Like I said, all I need is one or two people, and they always come through for me not just because Im doing it for myself or anything. I fight for different reasons. Boxing, its not just about boxing. Its about what boxing means to those people, what I have achieved, and thats what I do. I just get in there for those people because those are the ones that made me and Im going to put my life on the line.
I dont care about the fight with this dude. Ive lost amateur. Thats nothing new to me. Life is not, its like a lot of people try to make it seem like because I was in the Dominican Republic and I had no shoes and I had-Peter, you dont know anything about having no shoes or nothing. You probably never even been to Cuba. Your dad told you.
Quillin: I said boxing is fighting through the struggles. Its not fighting for two or three people. Boxing is fighting through the struggles. I have been to Cuba. I witnessed my family living in the same house that my father lived in over 32 years ago. Ive been to the Dominican Republic. Ive seen how people live in DR. Ive been to China; Ive been everywhere.
The thing thats important to me is that Im doing this for myself and nobody else, so once I step in there on April 27th the only thing Fernando Guerrero is going to be able to do is run back in that hole because Im going to be a cat on his ass.
Guerrero: Yes, okay. Well, he already said what I was going to do, so I cant say anything about that, but well see it in the fight. Ive never been the type of person that I dont even know what hes talking about rat and mouse or whatever and all that stuff and the cat. I just know that I know what made me. I know what I fight for and my purpose, my purpose and thats what Im going to go with, my purpose, my heart.
I dont see this just myself. I see it from everybody. I see from all that energy everything, thats what keeps me alive and thats where Im going to put and thats what Im going to show the whole world over there. If you fight for yourself, if you do it for yourself, yall gonna be yourself, by yourself.
Who wins this and how??

Yeah I got that same underlying feeling, I believe this fight will have some serious fireworks. Many people have already wrote Guerrero off in this bout because he's a relative unknown but we saw what happened to Prescott last weekend and anything is possible in this sport.
This fight will be better than being advertised, and possibly an upset in the making as well.

I cant stand that ol' poo-butt-ass Guerrero, dude has no heart. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know he's a fighter blah, blah, blah. All Guerrero cares about is his "fans", which he has none of. He THINKS that people are coming to see him, and he THINKS that he's doing something for the DR, but dude is just as delusional about his fans, as Bradley is.
How in the hell do you get sparked by an old man, who had nothing left in the tank? I remember the Brewer fight, I totally remember. We didn't hear from Guerrero for a whiiiiile. Maybe it's just his voice, it's so soft and he always sounds like he's gonna cry...which he publicly did after the Brewer fight, in an ugly fashion might I add.
I see if you got outsmarted and outboxed by an old man (like Hopkins is doing to younger fighters), but to get stopped by one?! C'mon Guerrero, your foot speed alone should have gotten you through that fight.
I'm not the biggest Kid Chopped-Tooth fan yet, but dude is growing on me. He doesn't even think about losing, he just goes for the kill. Guerrero's confidence died peacefully in it's sleep after the Brewer fight. I will give him credit for his hand speed and foot speed going into this fight, but Quillin said it best, Guerrero is coming into the fight to NOT lose again.
He uses his legs too much and he always seems to lose steam (power), down the stretch of a fight. If Quillin was able to drop N'Dam as many times as he did, then Guerrero needs to be careful, because he has just about the same style as N'Dam. To me, N'Dam is the far better fighter, compared to Guerrero.
I don't mean to bash Guerrero the way I just did, but I'm tired of soft fighters who care more about shit that doesn't even matter. There are very few of them in the sport, and Guerrero happens to be one of them. How can he say that his people "made him"? Anybody can get you started with something, but everything that happens beyond that point, is YOUR choice and YOUR determination. Dude doesn't even understand his own logic.
Needless to say, Im amped for this one! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I think Quillin stops this douche.

i feel that guerrero will be the best that quillen has faced to date. it's going to be interesting. i think all the pressure is on quillen and he is definitely expected to win but guerrero is highly skilled. this is his chance to gain back some of what he lost in the fight with brewer. sometimes they stumble and trip up. it's what happens after that that will define him. we'll see what he's made of in this fight.

It's nice to see Embarcadero Media is on top of helping enforce Open meetings and Records as the standards of our communities. The MV Voice is also sometimes at the forefront of this over here. It is extremely hard for a private individual to do this (usually the issues are much smaller and more limited). So it is especially nice when systemic problems are caught by the press. Thanks for whoever was "the whistleblower".

What is a "confidential" memo? The military/government has a classification system that goes from something close to "confidential" up to "mega-secret" (or some such). So .. if there are "classified" memos inside the PAUSD Administration, are there "secret" and "top-secret" too?
And just how many of these memos are there? Maybe the PAUSD should collect them all and post them on its web site?
Or maybe this is just a tempest in a tea pot?
And why was the Weekly's Publisher involved in this sort of thing? Shouldn't the Editor be the one moralizing about the sins of others?

This is incredibly disappointing. We have gone through so much as a school, a school district, as a community, and regaining trust in our school board to do the "right thing" for our children. Now, with so much at stake our School Board and Superintendent know so much better than everyone else and rig their own votes.
The Board President should be on top on that right away and I hope to see action on her part immediately. I would like to know what Board Members Bill Johnson speaks about.
We will never serve our children properly until we can look them in the face honestly and say we served them with truth, and to the best of our ability. I am saddened the people I trusted, Dr. Skelly and the School Board cannot say that as I spent HOURS every day working with my kids just to keep their heads above water in our prestigious schools.
