---- — Interim president of Egypt sworn in
CAIRO (AP) — Egypt's military moved swiftly Thursday against senior figures of the Muslim Brotherhood, targeting the backbone of support for ousted President Mohammed Morsi. In the most dramatic step, authorities arrested the group's revered leader from a seaside villa and flew him by helicopter to detention in the capital.
With a top judge newly sworn in as interim president to replace Morsi, the crackdown poses an immediate test to the new army-backed leadership's promises to guide Egypt to democracy: The question of how to include the 83-year-old fundamentalist group.
That question has long been at the heart of democracy efforts in Egypt. Hosni Mubarak and previous authoritarian regimes banned the group, raising cries even from pro-reform Brotherhood critics that it must be allowed to participate if Egypt was to be free. After Mubarak's fall, the newly legalized group vaulted to power in elections, with its veteran member Morsi becoming the country's first freely elected president.
Now the group is reeling under a huge backlash from a public that says the Brotherhood and its Islamist allies abused their electoral mandate. The military forced Morsi out Wednesday after millions of Egyptians nationwide turned out in four days of protests demanding he be removed.
Adly Mansour, the head of the Supreme Constititonal Court, with which Morsi had repeated confrontations, was sworn in as interim president.
Morsi was abandoned by his allies but remained defiant
CAIRO (AP) — The army chief came to President Mohammed Morsi with a simple demand: Step down on your own and don't resist a military ultimatum or the demands of the giant crowds in the streets of Egypt.
"Over my dead body!" Morsi replied to Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi on Monday, two days before the army eventually ousted the Islamist leader after a year in office.
In the end, Egypt's first freely elected president found himself isolated, with allies abandoning him and no one in the army or police willing to support him.
Even his Republican Guards simply stepped away as army commandos came to take him to an undisclosed Defense Ministry facility, according to army, security and Muslim Brotherhood officials who gave The Associated Press an account of Morsi's final hours in office. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.
The Muslim Brotherhood officials said they saw the end coming for Morsi as early as June 23 — a week before the opposition planned its first big protest. The military gave the president seven days to work out his differences with the opposition.
Statue of Liberty reopens on July 4th
NEW YORK (AP) — The Statue of Liberty reopened on the Fourth of July, eight months after Superstorm Sandy shuttered the national symbol of freedom, as Americans around the country celebrated with fireworks and parades and President Obama urged citizens to live up to the words of the Declaration of Independence.
Hundreds lined up Thursday to be among the first to board boats destined for Lady Liberty, including New Yorker Heather Leykam and her family.
"This, to us, Liberty Island, is really about a rebirth," said Leykam, whose mother's home was destroyed during the storm. "It is a sense of renewal for the city and the country. We wouldn't have missed it for the world."
Nationwide, Boston prepared to host its first large gathering since the marathon bombing that killed three and injured hundreds, and Philadelphia, Washington and New Orleans geared up for large holiday concerts. A Civil War reenactment commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg drew as many as 40,000 people to Pennsylvania. In Arizona, sober tributes were planned for 19 firefighters who died this week battling a blaze near Yarnell.
Interior Secretary Sally Jewell, speaking at the reopening of the Statue of Liberty, choked up as she told the crowd she was wearing a purple ribbon in memory of the fallen firefighters.
Bolivia's president warns he could close US Embassy
COCHABAMBA, Bolivia (AP) — President Evo Morales warned on Thursday that he could close the U.S. Embassy in Bolivia as South America's leftist leaders rallied to support him after his presidential plane was rerouted amid suspicions that NSA leaker Edward Snowden was on board.
Morales again blamed Washington for pressuring European countries to refuse to allow his plane to fly through their airspace on Tuesday, forcing it to land in Vienna, Austria, in what he called a violation of international law. He had been returning from a summit in Russia during which he had suggested he would be willing to consider a request from Snowden for asylum.
"Being united will defeat American imperialism. We met with the leaders of my party and they asked us for several measures and if necessary, we will close the embassy of the United States," said Morales. "We do not need the embassy of the United States."
Morales spoke as the leaders of Venezuela, Ecuador, Argentina and Uruguay joined him in Cochabamba, Bolivia for a special meeting to address the diplomatic row.
Latin American leaders were outraged by the incident, calling it a violation of national sovereignty and a slap in the face for a region that has suffered through humiliations by Europe and several U.S.-backed military coups.
British police seek 38 'persons of interest' in case of missing girl Madeleine McCann
LONDON (AP) — British police say they have launched a full investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, and want to trace 38 "persons of interest" in the case.
Detectives say it's possible that Madeleine, who vanished from a Portuguese holiday resort six years ago, is still alive.
Scotland Yard said Thursday that 12 of the individuals of interest are British, and the rest from a variety of European countries. The force says it is working with governments across the continent to find out more.
McCann vanished from a vacation home in Portugal's Algarve region on May 3, 2007, days before her fourth birthday. The case has generated intense media interest.
Detective Chief Inspector Andy Redwood said police "continue to believe that there is a possibility that Madeleine is alive."
Ariz. town celebrates 4th of July
PRESCOTT, Ariz. (AP) — They remembered the Fourth, but also the 19.
At Bistro St. Michael on Whiskey Row in this old West town, 19 candles burned beneath red, white and blue bunting, one for each firefighter killed last weekend battling a wildfire not far from the place they called home.
In a quiet neighborhood near the high school, which at least five of them attended, 19 miniature U.S. flags were planted in front yards, each pole tied with the purple ribbon that commemorates fallen firefighters.
At the makeshift memorial on the fence that wrapped around the elite Hotshots firefighting team's headquarters, people left 19 potted plants, 19 pinwheels, 19 handwritten cards, 19 religious candles.
On a day meant to ponder the nation's birth, and those who built and defended it over 237 years, Prescott's residents had 19 of their neighbors, their friends, their relatives to remember.
Supreme Court says Congress can rewrite Voting Rights Act
ATLANTA (AP) — When the U.S. Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights act last week, it handed Republicans tough questions with no easy answers over how, and where, to attract voters even GOP leaders say the party needs to stay nationally competitive.
The decision caught Republicans between newfound state autonomy that conservatives covet and the law's popularity among minority, young and poor voters who tend to align with Democrats. It's those voters that Republicans are eyeing to expand and invigorate the GOP's core of older, white Americans.
National GOP Chairman Reince Priebus began that effort well before the court's decision by promising, among other initiatives, to hire non-white party activists to engage directly with black and Latino voters. Yet state and national Republicans reacted to the Voting Rights Act decision with a flurry of activity and comments that may not fit neatly into the national party's vision.
Congressional leaders must decide whether to try to rewrite the provision the court struck, but it's not clear how such an effort would fare in the Democratic-led Senate and the GOP-controlled House. And at the state level, elected Republicans are enacting tighter voting restrictions that Democrats blast as harmful to their traditional base of supporters and groups the Republicans say they want to attract.
States like North Carolina and Virginia provide apt examples of the potential fallout. An influx of non-whites have turned those Republican strongholds into battlegrounds in the last two presidential elections, and minority voters helped President Barack Obama win both states in 2008 and Virginia again in 2012. Nationally, Republican Mitt Romney lost among African-Americans by about 85 percentage points and Latinos by about 44 percentage points, margins that virtually ensure a Democratic victory.
Joey 'Jaws' Chestnut downs 69 franks to break record
NEW YORK (AP) — Joey Chestnut downed 69 franks and devoured his own record in the men's Fourth of July hot dog eating contest while Sonya Thomas defended her title in the women's competition.
The San Jose, Calif., man known as Jaws ate one more wiener than his previous record to capture the mustard-yellow champion's belt. He said afterward that he was motivated by the prestige, not the $10,000 prize money.
"I'd do this for nothing," he said.
Thomas, a 100-pound dynamo known as the "Black Widow" of competitive eating, wolfed down nearly 37 wieners to narrowly eke out her own victory.
Chestnut, 29, is a seven-time winner who set the old record — 68 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes — in 2009 and tied it last year. Thomas, 45, powered through 45 dogs to take the women's championship last year and also won in 2011, the first year women competed separately

Twins legends to help open Target Field
Inaugural festivities include banner hangings, fireworks
Target Field's home opener will be a celebration of the Twins' future in their new ballpark, but also of their past.A number of Twins legends and former players will be on hand to help the club mark the inaugural regular-season game at Target Field on Monday against the Red Sox. They'll be there to take part in a number of festivities leading up to the game, which include the ceremonial opening of each gate, the unveiling of championship banners as well as a fighter-jet flyover and fireworks. "A key objective for the Twins has always been to strive to highlight the past while looking forward," Twins president Dave St. Peter said. "It's our 50th season in Minnesota and it's a franchise with a proud tradition filled with great teams and great players. We found it was absolutely essential to involve a number of those people as we throw the first pitch ever at Target Field. It's great to have that connection and this provides a wonderful showcase of what Twins baseball has meant to people throughout the Upper Midwest." Things will kick off at 11:30 a.m. CT with the Twins unveiling the Kirby Puckett bronze legend statue, which was created by local artist Bill Mack, on Target Plaza. Harmon Killebrew and Rod Carew had similar statues unveiled during the club's two exhibition games against the Cardinals last weekend. Kirby Puckett Jr., the son of the late Hall of Fame outfielder, will then help to ceremonially open Gate 34 -- his dad's jersey number -- at noon. It's part of a ceremony with all the Twins legends opening up their respective gates, including Killebrew (Gate 3), Tony Oliva (Gate 6), Kent Hrbek (Gate 14) and Carew (Gate 29). A group of Twins alumni will then raise the following championship pennants in left field during the pregame ceremony: Jim Kaat (1965, American League title), Jim Perry (1969 AL West), Bert Blyleven (1970 AL West), Frank Viola (1987 World Series), Jack Morris (1991 World Series), Eddie Guardado (2002 AL Central), Corey Koskie (2003 AL Central), Shannon Stewart (2004 AL Central), Brad Radke (2006 AL Central), general manager Bill Smith (2009 AL Central flag). Al Newman will also raise a "TC" flag. "That's got to be pretty awesome for all the former players to come out to the new park," said Twins reliever and Minnesota native Pat Neshek. "For the fans, it's a hot ticket. People have been talking about getting tickets to this game for the last couple years. So they've got to be thrilled and it's going to be a big opening series there." All fans attending Monday's 3:10 p.m. contest will receive an Opening Day Homer Hanky and an Opening Day 2010 commemorative certificate.

DEFCON 1 is an excellent addition to the Grizzly Wall. Its name stems from the incoming missiles that were raining down on us while putting up the route.

Entering Game 1 of the Giants' Division Series against the Reds, ace Matt Cain had started three postseason games in his career and allowed the grand total of one run ... and that was unearned. Saturday night, Cain ran his no-earnies streak to 23⅔ innings with a strikeout of pinch-hitter Homer Bailey in the third inning.
But, you know, Homer Bailey's actually a pitcher. Before Bailey, Drew Stubbs had singled. After Bailey, Brandon Phillips hit a hanging curveball a long way.
Cain's troubles continued. He hit Zack Cozart with a pitch, and walked Joey Votto. That brought a visit from pitching coach Dave Righetti, while ESPN Radio's Rick Sutcliffe wondered if Cain might be joining Johnny Cueto on the Injured List.
Not to worry. Ryan Ludwick slapped Cain's third pitch to shortstop, who started an easy double play.
Still, the Reds have grabbed a two-run lead and Mat Latos is now on the hill for Cincinnati.

Ray Wonders moved to Orlando from the San Diego area in 1970 after receiving his bachelor's degree in English from San Diego State University. He began his career teaching high school before beginning his Ph.D program in Missouri, finishing at Florida State University in 1984. Ray spent a year in New Mexico, where he worked in two psychiatric hospitals and taught part-time. When a friend called from Manatee Community College in Bradenton, offering him a job, he accepted, borrowed a van and moved his family (wife and daughter) here. Ray taught at MCC until 2007 when he retired.
Q: What did you do for a living before becoming a GAL? Did your former experience help with your volunteer work and, if so, how?
A: I feel that teaching and working with people with psychiatric difficulties has been a tremendous help in my guardian work. The psychology we deal with every day demands that we maintain objectivity as much as possible, even in cases that prove to be extremely dysfunctional. Also, literature has taught me a great deal about the human condition, how civilized parameters must be required, especially where defenseless people are concerned (children) -- they are the most vulnerable in society.
Q: How and why did you become a volunteer?
A: I became a volunteer after hearing a GAL give a presentation at the courthouse. I was retired and felt I wanted to give something back to the community -- even though, I have to say that I was nervous.
Q: How would you describe your role as a GAL volunteer? Is this what you expected?
How is it different? How would you describe it to someone else?
A: My role as a volunteer is, above all, to serve the children, protect them and do everything possible to increase their chance for a successful future. Additionally, I feel a secondary duty to try and get parents to develop a different way of looking at their own lives, to step on the path toward "individuation," as advocated by Carl Jung. Of course, I'm not naïve enough to think this is always going to happen.
Q: What are some examples of your success stories? Who else has been instrumental in making positive changes on your case?
A: One example of success is a young mother who was held in thrall by a dysfunctional boyfriend to the point that she was willing to give up her child to stay in the relationship. The case turned out well: The boyfriend moved on, the child was adopted by the maternal grandparents, the estranged daughter came back to her parents and the child was safe and given love by the entire family.
The person who is most instrumental in my development as a GAL has to be my supervisor, Monica Moore. Even though she is unbelievably busy, she is always willing to mentor me, answer questions, help me with reports and, above all, educate me as to human nature and ways to deal with it. At 71, I'm never too old to learn.
Q: What are some examples of your frustrations?
A: Frustrations I experience are often the lack of communication between agencies, and, candidly, my own lack of knowledge, sometimes, about all the intricacies of working a case.
Q: How does being a volunteer fit with the rest of your life?
A: Being a volunteer fits in well with my life; I am retired, and I have time on my hands. I'm not into carpentry, bridge, golf or fishing; however, I do have a sailboat, but even that would get boring at some point. My wife works full time, so I find that I'm performing a valuable service as a GAL.
Q: Would you encourage others to volunteer?
A: I would absolutely encourage others to volunteer. I think it's crucial that anyone who has been fortunate enough to be successful in a rewarding career and then has the time to give back to the society that afforded him or her that life should do so.
Q: What changes would you like to see for children in dependency?
A: I would like to see more money coming down from government. My own feeling is that we lack adequate facilities, and that should be addressed. A central location in Bradenton housing GAL offices, adjacent to the coalition, and an outpatient facility to address the psychiatric side would, I believe, improve things a great deal.

Barron just tweeted that he is thinking of giving up #24 to Revis. Asking fans what number he should wear. #44 seems to be the favorite.
Last year the cleanest jersey was always the opposing QB
Barron should take 21
I feel sorry for the guys who bought Barron jerseys last year
Quote from: rikes on April 25, 2013, 03:48:28 PMI feel sorry for the guys who bought Barron jerseys last yearThere are sites where you can order a new name plate to replace the old one. Just need to sew it on. Did it with my Keyshawn to Williams and will do it with my Caddy jersey to make it a Revis. Glad i didnt buy the name plate last year for Barron.Never get rid of old jerseys. Just store them away till new player takes the number. Just stashed my Talib (got it as a gift) .
What is your point? I was wrong? Ok. You win. I was wrong.

The next time you go fly fishing and bring along $10,000 worth of photo gear here are a few tips to capture some images on the water. Well I don't encourage anyone to spend that kind of money for your photo gear, it would take away from all the money you should spend on fly fishing rods, but there are a few good tips in the video. Many of you do run around, wisely I might add, with some waterproof point and shoots while you fish. Adorama is a very good online camera store out of NYC. They also offer plenty of educational videos about photography on the YouTubes. It's not often you find many tips on fly fishing photo techniques. Worth a look if you would like to drool over some high end gear too.

Fly Fishing and the Phantom Drone

This past April Chris Spangler from Slinger Fly Rods posted an early flight of his Phantom DJI Drone Quadcopter over Young Woman's Creek.. He has been braving his drone (that's what I 'm going to call it) over the Pennsylvania streams and waters for just over six months. His latest video takes us over Kettle Creek in Pennsylvania. I nice six minute run over the creek with anglers fly fishing.
"Part of me was worried that it would be too difficult to operate and devastating to crash and ruin. Add in the GoPro Hero 3 and it made me even more nervous. The learning curve believe it or not was very slim. It's very basic in its functions. If you have ever played video games in your life you can operate this machine from day one with minimal instruction", shared Chris.
Heberly from Paflyfish and kids were part of the fun while Chris flew the Phantom over Kettle Creek.
A lot of news and controversy with drones as of late. The US Park Service has banned them from US Parks for example. I hope Chris can share more of these great images of these fly fishing waters in the region. I for one enjoy the images.

Fly Fishing Getting Started - Mayfly Sex Identification 102
Published by Dave Kile [

Recently going through my mayfly photographs I found a nice set of pictures from the Paflyfish Spring Jam in 2010. The Green Drake (Ephemera guttulata ) hatch was in full swing that year and photographs of these mayflies was easy and plentiful. Most of the weekend was overcast and rain as normally forecasted for the Spring Jam. Emergers (subimigo) and spinners (imago) were not so much active during the day, but lined the sides of the streams in the hundred's of thousands. I am always torn between fishing and photography on days like this but glad put down my fly rod for a while and captured a lot of great shots.
With so many mayflies and photos it was easy to get so nice shots of the Green Drake spinners, which are referred to as Coffin Flies because of their white extended body. I wanted to demonstrate the differences between spinner (imago) male and female. These two Coffin Flies attached show these differences. Most notably the male has longer extended fore legs and claspers at the rear of the body. Females as seen do not have these body characteristics.
Male (left photo)
Long fore legs
Rear claspers or forceps at rear of body
Eyes on a male tend to be larger
Female (right photo)
Short fore leg
Forceps do not exist
Smaller flatter eyes

The Sulphurs are here!
Published by Joe Dziedzina [
] on 05/12/2014 (5009 reads)
With the best hatch of the season fast approaching, I thought it might be helpful for some of the "Newbie's" to post a few words on the Sulphur Hatch to get them off to a flying start this month… so if anyone has anything to add in the way of tips, tricks, details, etc. PLEASE feel free to chime in!
The months of May and June here in southeastern PA bring forth the greatest event of the fly-fishing season… the SULPHUR HATCH. These yellowish mayflies are actually made up of three (3) different mayfly species; Ephemerella rotunda, E. invaria, and E. dorothea. Most streams in SEPA hold all three (3) species which can be good AND bad. It's good because it extends the sulphur hatch from 1st/2nd week of May through much of June (most seasons)… and it's bad because there are subtleties that the fish notice and key on (sometimes) and if the angler does not adjust, he (or she) could be in for a long evening. The good news though, is that the "bad" is well within your control.
First a quick overview of the three (3) players, in order of emergence;
Ephemerella rotunda
: Duns have a medium yellow body color with slight "olive cast" to them… the largest of the three by a hair, could be as large as a size 12 hook size, but a size 14 will do (a true "tweener")… often hatch out of very swift water (just below riffles)… hatching usually begins around Mother's Day and lasts 2-3 weeks… hatch most often in late afternoons (4-6 pm)
Ephemerella invaria
: Duns have a yellowish/orange body color … best imitated with a size 14 hook… often hatch out of slightly slower flows than rotunda's… hatching usually begins around 3rd week in May peaking around Memorial Day (slowing down in June)… hatch most often in early evenings (6-7 pm)
Ephemerella dorothea
: Duns have a pale yellow body color … best imitated with a size 16 hook (sometimes 18)… often hatch out of slower pools… hatching usually begins in last week of May and lasting well into June… hatch most often in evenings (7-8:30 pm), sometimes right at dusk in a quick "blizzard" of activity.
Believe it or not, there are other "yellow" mayflies hatching during these same times as well, but those listed above make up the Sulphur Hatch as most anglers know it. As you can see there are differences between the three and it will save your sanity to have the proper sizes/colors to cover the gamut. At the very least I would carry size 14 dry fly's in sulphur yellow to cover the rotunda/invaria and size 16 pale yellow imitations to cover the dorothea (some anglers use a Light Cahill for this). To compound the mayhem, in addition to the over-lapping hatch activity, trout will often key on a certain "stage" of emergence from drifting nymphs, to struggling emergers, to floating duns… and just when you think you have THAT all figured out, there could be spent spinners on the water as well!
If you show up to the stream in the mid afternoon and no fish are rising and no insects are on the water (or in the air)… you could be in for some fast action by tying on a Pheasant-tail nymph (size 14-16) and fishing the riffles and runs. Prior to emergence these nymphs will fill the water column as they struggle to reach the surface. Trout will be gorging on them and you will often see flashes in the stream as fish slash from side-to-side engulfing drifting nymphs by the mouthful.
Once a good supply of duns are on the surface the trout will come up for them and the real fun begins with dry flies… fish staging in faster water will be easier targets as they have precious little time to inspect your offering. Trout holding in slower pools will be a bit tougher, but may be larger and you should still dupe them easily with a stealthy "down & across" approach. If the fish refuse your floating dry, try tying an emerger pattern or weightless nymph about 6" off the back of the dry. This will take fish that are targeting these hapless naturals. Some of you may have heard people say that the trout are easier to catch at the beginning of the sulphur hatch but get smarter as the weeks wear on? These are the guys that don't adjust to the dorothea activity and are missing out big time. The difference in a size 16 or 14 hook may not sound like much, but place the fly's next to each other and you will see why the trout key on one or the other. Just pay attention to what is on the water and you'll be OK.
The last piece of the puzzle is the spinnerfall. Again, this can be as frustrating or as rewarding as you want to make it. Personally I take my largest "dry fly caught" trout every season during the spinnerfall. It's an easy meal and one that large trout rarely pass up. As you survey the stream take notice of the presence of any swarms of "dancing" mayflies over the riffles. These will be egg-laden females preparing to drop their cargo into the drink before dying and dropping in themselves. The males in all likelihood have already fallen, spent from mating activity. During sulphur season this activity most often takes place during the early evening if not right at dark (maybe early morning if air temp's are too high for mating flights). These mating swarms start out high above the stream surface and if you happen to notice flocks of insect-eating birds (swallows, swifts, nighthawks… maybe bats) high above, you can be pretty sure that a spinnerfall is about an hour away. Sounds complicated but it is surprisingly simple… for this activity I carry just one fly—The Rusty Spinner—in sizes 14-18. Look for subtle risers, often times near the tail ends of pools, just "dimpling' the surface and float your imitation right down into the waiting jaws of a heavy brown. If rising fish continue to ignore your floating dun, tie on a Rusty Spinner and 9 out of 10 times you will be surprised at the response.
Always keep in mind that ANY and ALL of the above described activities could be going on… sometimes simultaneously! Just be observant, let the trout tell you what they want, and you will enjoy your cigar and cold beverage a LOT more back at the parking area… this I promise.
*NOTE* The referenced taxon above is a bit outdated as the society of entomologists (or whoever they are) have decided that E. invaria and E. rotunda are now the same species (E. invaria)… also they have added a second dorothea to E. dorothea (E. dorothea dorothea). This info is strictly for the angler's that are over-obsessed with details (like ME for example)… the trout still eat them the same as they always have.

NEW YORK -- Two more seasons -- regular and post -- have ended for the Minnesota Twins. The results add up, once again, to a distinctly split decision.The Twins won their sixth American League Central title in nine years. And they won the gratitude of every visiting team by moving from the Metrodome, a facility never suited for the grand old game, to Target Field, one of the finest ballparks in North America. The Twins had been an admirable team for years, the result of an outstanding organization that could annually overcome limited financial resources. With the opening of Target Field, the Twins moved into baseball's middle class. They were able to sign catcher Joe Mauer, one of the game's best players by any reasonable standard, to one of the game's largest contracts. Even injuries to closer Joe Nathan and slugging first baseman Justin Morneau were overcome as the Twins won their division. And then came October, the second season. The Twins, otherwise indomitable, scrappy, aggressive, alert, became simply beaten -- again. They were swept in a Division Series for the second straight year by the New York Yankees, the shop closing for them Saturday night at Yankee Stadium in a 6-1 loss.
But the overall postseason picture is worse than that for the Twins. In four Division Series over the last seven years, the Twins are 2-12 against the Yankees. The Twins now have a postseason losing streak of nine games against the Yankees and 12 games overall. Perhaps the worst aspect of the nine-game losing streak against the Yankees, is that at some point in each of the first eight losses, the Twins held the lead.What happens to the Twins in the postseason, against the Yankees? As Yankee manager Joe Girardi was gracious enough to note, repeatedly, the vast majority of the games could have gone either way. That was certainly true, but in the end, the games all went in the direction of the Bronx Bombers. Twins manager Ron Gardenhire objected when the nine straight Yankee victories were referred to as domination.
"I think if you just look at the games, I don't think it's called domination," he said. "They find a way to win. ... But dominating, I think, is not the right word to use."What's the difference between these two teams, apart from the occasional $100 million in player payroll? The Twins, since the departure of Johan Santana, have not had a genuine No. 1 starter. This may be said of many teams, but to win in the postseason, somebody has to qualify for this role. Francisco Liriano has moments of greatness, but in Game 1, he was given a three-run lead and could not hold it through the sixth inning. The Twins had an opportunity to win Game 1 and beat the Yankees' ace, CC Sabathia, in the process. A golden opportunity was wasted and the Twins never recovered.
|Red Sox
|Red Sox
The Twins did a terrific job of compensating for the loss of Nathan, but in this series, that didn't much matter since they never created a save situation. The loss of Morneau, out since suffering a July 7 concussion, is something else. While it afforded more at-bats for Jim Thome at times, a team cannot lose a top-shelf run producer and not be the less for it. When Gardenhire was asked Saturday if this was the most talented lineup he's had in his nine years as Minnesota manager, he replied:"I think it was at one point, when we had Morneau. We had a lot of depth and we could run a lot of different lineups out there. When Morneau went down, it was a little thinner off the bench. Things like that, we don't have a guy that can come off the bench. We don't have a big pinch-hitter, all those things to run up there in situations." Gardenhire said he still liked his lineup and noted that it had produced big hits all year. But it didn't get the big hit in this series. The Twins missed numerous opportunities in the opener. As the series progressed, the opportunities became fewer and the margins of defeat grew larger -- two runs, three runs, five runs.
"Pretty much through the series we missed our opportunities to score runs," the manager said.For the future, the Twins don't need to start over. Gardenhire indicated a continuing belief in all facets of his club. The Twins believe that Liriano, and their other young pitchers, will improve. Whether Liriano improves to ace level is an open question, but that is what this club needs from him. The Twins will be a much-improved club the minute Morneau is fully recovered from his concussion. Around baseball, the positive perception of the Twins will remain intact despite another postseason reversal. They will be regarded as an intelligent, industrious baseball management. You do wish that various members of the Twins would stop referring to Carl Pavano as "a leader." This is an organization with a lot of hard-earned credibility, and that kind of statement raises not credibility, but eyebrows. As far as the postseason woes against New York, the Yankees are an indisputably better team. Still, they shouldn't be 12-2 against the Twins, or 9-0 in the last nine postseason games or 6-0 the last two years in the postseason. Those numbers would only be suitable if the Yankees were playing, perhaps, the Pirates. Once again the Twins get to feel justifiably proud about the six months of work from April through September. Their brief October appearance, though, will once more leave them and their loyal fans disappointed and dejected, although not necessarily demoralized. The core of their postseason problem: Over the last nine years, only one team has qualified for the postseason more often than the Twins. Tough break, that one team was the Yankees.

You need to keep building your network contacts. Add the names of people as you meet them. Never underestimate someone you know - they also have numerous contacts (i.e., policemen, bartenders, beauticians, cab and bus drivers, other people providing personal services, retailers, secretaries/receptionists, librarians, etc.).
Once you have developed your "contact network" you should begin informational interviewing.
Step 1 - Identify Contacts
You should identify contacts within your career interests. These individuals can be identified through your contact network or referrals from others.
Step 2 - Approach the Contacts
There are many different ways to approach your contacts to request an information interview: personal referral, walk-in, telephone call, or letter. The personal referral is the most successful approach. When talking to your contact you should:

The BEST Star Trek movie rant parody ever?
Saw this floating around and had to post it for the hilarity of it given what I've been reading from some people:
What a Travesty! A Complete Slap in the Face to REAL Fans!
This ripoff of a travesty of a movie begins with explosions for the ADD crowd when the Enterprise, commanded by a Vulcan who SWEARS, blatantly disregards the Neutral Zone (a point agonized over by Kirk with much discussion involving Starfleet Headquarters in Balance of Terror - which he decides against) and gets into a fight with a bunch of Klingon warships that HAPPEN to be in the area.
Every time the ship is hit, consoles inexplicably shoot sparks into the faces of their operators (yeah, great spaceship design there - MORONS), and stuff falls from the ceiling. Seriously, who designs these ships?
The main characters on the bridge (including McCoy, who just happens to be there in case someone breaks a nail or something, I guess) all die of sparks to the face (seriously, I've done a lot of metal grinding and welding and have NEVER ONCE died from sparks being sprayed in my face!) before the "captain" decides to abandon ship. Abandon ship why? And how? You're in the Neutral Zone. You'd think the Klingons would just shoot down the lifeboats, I dunno, somewhat more EASILY than they just shot down the Enterprise?
But wait! Suddenly the bridge cracks open and some vents come on, and it was just a joke! The original crew members were just playing games, and it was all a TEST! Decorated Starfleet officers have been reduced to the disgrace of playing dead in a simulation. What a TRAVESTY.
Admiral Kirk is for some reason suddenly morose about getting old, as if he hadn't been getting old for the past ten years. The REAL Kirk would never whine to Spock and McCoy about his feelings. And suddenly he's all into antiques? That was never mentioned in the Original Series. Way to make up a ham-fisted metaphor about a guy depressed about being old and surrounding himself with ancient, anachronistic junk! Then McCoy brings over some illegal booze and they ham their way through solving the world's problems. Kirk isn't happy "flying a goddam computer console?" Everyone has computers in the 2000s, and every business runs on them. Certainly in the 2200s everywhere you go things will be operated by computers. Or are these men who made a career out of service on a technologically advanced, COMPUTER-driven STARSHIP suddenly belong to a secret society of Luddites? Don't even get me started on "wanna be out there hopping galaxies." Hopping galaxies? Jesus, did the IDIOT who wrote this movie ever WATCH a Star Trek episode before this TRASH? The Enterprise explores a very small portion of our OWN galaxy. It's definitely never been to another galaxy, let alone "hopped" galaxies (in the plural).
In the meantime, we get some nonsense on a space station that's a blatant ripoff of Frankenstein, with some scientists playing God by creating life from nothing. Of course, this also requires a lot of ADD explosions, because we all know you can't create life without MASSIVE explosions.
So they have their own pet starship, which is like the Enterprise, but with the nacelles on the bottom and no engineering hull. Yet the readouts on the ship's bridge show the status of its engineering hull. And the ship doesn't even have a deflector dish! DID ANYONE WHO MADE THIS TRAIN WRECK EVEN PAY ATTENTION?
They're looking for a planet without any life on it at all so they can shoot it with this torpedo thing, create a huge explosion that consumes the planet in fire (kids love lots of explosions and fire), and suddenly make a planet people can live on. They've been looking for 6 months. Maybe they should have started closer to home, because there are, I dunno, 7 planets and countless moons in OUR OWN SOLAR SYSTEM that would have qualified. Surely it couldn't have been THAT HARD to find a planet without life.
The Reliant (you know, the ship that looks like the Enterprise on its own readouts, but doesn't look like the Enterprise on the outside) FINALLY finds such a planet, and beams down. Except, oops, it's Ceti Alpha Five, not Ceti Alpha Six, like they thought. Dammit, I guess no one on the ship (not even their goddam computer consoles) could count. And, wonder of wonders, the first planet in the galaxy they find without ANY life on it just HAPPENS to have Khan from the Original Series living on it. Man, what a coincidence. Khan even recognizes Chekov, WHO WASN'T EVEN ON THE FRIGGIN SHOW DURING THE FIRST SEASON WHEN SPACE SEED AIRED!!!!
Khan sticks some worm things in their ears, because that always makes ME want to tell a psychopathic maniac what he wants to know, then somehow hijacks the Reliant so he can kill Kirk. Talk about obsessive compulsive. The guy waited around for 15 years so he can hijack a spaceship and kill Kirk, who let him live after the last time he tried to kill him. What kind of friggin motivation is that? Oh, I tried to take over your ship and you caught me, so now I'm going to kill you for it! Did they hire high school kids to write this crap? They even "cleverly" show a copy of Moby Dick on a shelf in Khan's house so we know they're about to rip off Moby Dick too. Brilliant!
For some reason never really explained, Khan decides to make a pit stop at the space station and kill the scientists there, probably because he wants their torpedo to blow stuff up good. The Enterprise is, for some unknown reason, the "only ship in the quadrant," so they have to staff it with cadets and go see what's wrong at the space station.
The Enterprise runs into Khan, who proceeds to shoot up the Enterprise real good (yeah, more EXPLOSIONS!!!), but then decides he wants to talk to Kirk for a while before he finishes him off. This allows Kirk to use a plot hole... er, plot device... to use the Enterprise's computers to lower Reliant's shields. He needs a magic code to do this, because its apparently been done so many times Starfleet decided they needed to encrypt their sensitive military systems. Man, too bad no one thought of this technique in "The Ultimate Computer," when the Enterprise went haywire and destroyed three other ships. Would have really come in handy to just automatically lower its shields and disarm it. But I guess at some point you have to stop looking at the TOTAL DISREGARD for canon, continuity, and common sense in the writing of a movie.
Using this trick, Kirk defeats the Reliant, but, wouldn't you guess it, lets Khan go again, probably hoping it will be another 15 years before he comes back for revenge again. The Enterprise goes to the space station, where it turns out all the scientists weren't killed after all. On the space station, Kirk meets a son he's known about all this time, but never seen before. Wait a second, you mean in almost 20 years of Star Trek, no one, I dunno, ever thought it might be worthwhile to mention THE MAIN CHARACTER HAD A KID??? Another slap in the face to the true fans who kept this franchise alive in the 1970s. And, get this, it was KIRK'S KID who made the torpedo thing that creates planets out of explosions. Way to go, son! And talk about another major coincidence. Amateur night continues in the writing department.
Then we get a bunch more explosions, this time inside a nebula. Finally, after all of his consoles have sprayed sparks all over his crew and killed them, and all the gear stowed in the ceiling has fallen down and killed the rest, Khan decides to give up and blow up the torpedo thing he stole from the space station.
Spock saves the day by committing suicide (Spock KILLING HIMSELF is another slap in the face to Star Trek fans all over the world!), because everyone else is just sitting around the bridge acting morose over the fact they're going to die, rather than, you know, doing something about it. The torpedo thing blows up. I guess Kirk's kid did a real good job, because after the explosions, there's a planet AND a sun there! Yeah, you know, the device that was shown to be able to create explosions and fire on an EXISTING PLANET and turn it into an earth-like world... such a planet they searched for for SIX MONTHS, when all they needed to create both the planet AND its star from scratch was a nebula! Holy hole in the plot, Batman! And way to spit in the face of real science.
So Spock dies, Kirk's kid decides he loves his old man, and no one feels too sorry about all the cadets who were killed when their consoles blew sparks in their face and killed them, and everyone goes home. The end.
What a steaming pile of crap, written by hack amateurs, who have CLEARLY never seen Star Trek before and obviously do not CARE about the fan base or even about making a movie that makes sense or isn't filled with explosions for ADD kiddies. What a travesty!
wow. if you can make Wrath of Khan (arguably the best Trek movie to date) sound ****ty, you can make ANYTHING sound bad.
I guess it took them 27 years to write it - they must have wanted to get it just right!
'If the Apocalypse starts, beep me!' - Buffy Summers

...When you say it like THAT...
He did a really good job of making TWOK seem less good, and that wasn't even his intent! He somewhat succeeded in my mind. Although I can come up with readily available explanations for a lot of the fake problems he talks about.
His original intent was to show that you can make ANY Star Trek movie(even the best one ever) look or sound worse than it really is.
I love how he shows that a lot of people's gripes with the new movie(Star Trek XI) CAN and probably should be easily shrugged off without a moment's notice.
This is brilliant parody writing.
Bravo to whoever wrote this.
Yes you would think a ship specifically searching for and examining planets would know one was missing. Or that the one they were scanning perhaps wasnt... say... the same size and type as the one that was supposed to be there? Or how about... something somewhere telling the captain "Beware, a madman called Khan is on the next planet over".
Also, you would think a genius would get the 'hours and days' thing. Of course you would have to accept that for some reason encrypted transmissions were not possible anyway. Or if they were, certainly all encryption codes would have been invalidated once it was known Reliant was in unfriendly hands. The 'only ship in the quadrant' thing is a tiny groaner also because the ship was near Earth anyways. At least I would assume so since AFAIK it never used warp drive until Kirk took over. So... that means there were no other starships at Earth?
Anyways... just stupid minor details that mean nothing but something to have a little fun with. I doubt I still have it but MAD Magazine did a ST2 spoof that was great. Same kind of stuff.
"Jim, I'm your doctor and I'm your friend. As your friend I say get back your command. As your doctor you owe me 50 bucks"
I feel that this should shut up canonista's on how poorly written ST09 is! SEE! ST02 has plot HOLES as well :P
They just made it sound like the worst movie ever. Their objective has been accomplished.
Oh, how I wish.
No matter how thin you slice it, it's still baloney.

In June 2011, the Arboretum installed and dedicated a new rose arbor in the Bradley Rosaceous Collection. The arbor honors Elizabeth Cabot Sluder, a longtime friend and supporter of the Arboretum and daughter of the collection's benefactor and namesake, Eleanor Cabot Bradley. The installation of the arbor capped off a four-year renovation of the collection and its garden landscape, a collaboration between Arboretum staff and landscape designer Julie Moir Messervy. With a graceful design inspired by Messervy and developed by metal artist Peter Andruchow and his company WovenSteel, the arbor supports new accessions of Rosa 'New Dawn' and R. 'Sombreuil'.
Read more about garden renovations under the More » tab above.
Historic views of the ponds are made available by the Arnold Arboretum Horticultural Library.
Search our inventory for additional accessions information or access our collections using your mobile device via Arboretum Explorer!
The Bradley Rosaceous Collection is located at the intersection of Meadow Road, Bussey Hill Road, and Forest Hills Road. Look for a metal arbor marking the entrance on Meadow Road.
The Bradley Rosaceous Collection consists of open grass lawns and grass paths between large planting beds. It is not wheelchair accessible. There are three ponds in the Bradley Rosaceous Collection. Dawson Pond has a stone ramp that allows visitors to safely observe the pond while protecting its edges from erosion; please use caution.
Map tables at Forest Hills Gate and Dawson Pond provide Arboretum wayfinding information.
How long should I explore?
Plan to spend from twenty minutes to one hour exploring this five acre collection.

An angiogram is an imaging test that uses x-rays to determine if blood flow is normal within the body's blood vessels. Interventional radiologists at Good Shepherd Hospital often use this test to study narrow, blocked, or malformed arteries or veins in the brain, heart, abdomen, or legs.
Specific issues can be identified such as
In this procedure, an interventional radiologist inserts a thin tube, known as a catheter, into the artery through a small incision. A contrasting dye is injected to make the blood vessels visible on the X-ray. The physician can then diagnose blockage or narrowing in a blood vessel that interferes with the normal blood flow. An interventional radiologist at Good Shepherd Hospital may treat the blockage with special technique such as angioplasty or thrombolysis.

Everything you read is true. It does stink. You do need to air it our, IMO more than a couple days. If you have the tiem let it air for a week or more in a outside environment or the gragage. I bough ti for my daughters bedroom with a second one for our spare bedroom and they do their job well. We've had them for a month so I can't speak as to the lifetime quality, but I can't imagine they will fail anytime in the near future. I do wish the covers were removable - that would be the only downfall.
My 6 and 9 year old girls had been complaining for a few weeks that their 4 year old spring mattress was uncomfortable. It was time to buy new mattresses and I made the right choice. The mattresses came shipped UPS during an ICE STORM!! I opened the boxes, cut open the plastic and let the mattresses do what they do. By that night my girls were sleeping soundly and the next morning they were singing "mommy" praises! We've had them for a month now and they sleep so well at night and wake up rested. This is something a parent can't really put a price on but thank goodness they were affordable too!
I bought this mattress for my 2 year old daughter. I had been shopping around and was convinced we wouldn't get a mattress for under $700. I saw this mattress here and decided it was perfect. The price is crazy inexpensive for the quality you get. I was nervous about the reviews because of the "bad odor" but our mattress didn't have one. It comes rolled up and that made me nervous. When I first cut the plastic, the initial size was only an inch or 2 thick. But I left the room and returned 30 minutes later and this thing fluffs up nicely. We've had the mattress now for about a month and I have already sold 3 more to friends/family. I would encourage you to buy this mattress for any child's bed and it is comfortable for adults as well. You won't be disappointed!
We ordered bunk beds for two of our children and ordered these mattresses (one raspberry, 4 blueberry) after reading a lot of reviews. The kids absolutely LOVE these mattresses. They are really comfortable and fit into bunk beds perfectly.
This is a great mattress for my granddaughter's new Captain Trundle bed. She loves the raspberry color!
this mattress is pretty firm, and you do have to air it out for a day or two. my daughter loves the color, and she was pretty miffed when i explained we had to put a sheet over it! overall, a good purchase.
Super comfortable. Super all around. I've bought three of the sleep sync mattress now and they are perfect for my guest beds and daybed which we use as a couch, so it gets a lot of use. Not too heavy, the velour cover is soft and feels nice. Hightly recommend this memory foam!
We got this for our 6 year olds loft bed. It fits perfect and is very comfortable to lay on. There really wasn't a noticeable odor from the foam, either. I was nervous about getting a foam mattress since they say they need to air out.
I bought this mattress and a full size Beautyrest mattress to go into a new trundle bed. This bed is so much more affordable than the regular mattress, and so much more comfortable to lay on. I've heard people say they don't like foam mattresses, but you definitely can tell that you don't feel pressure-points with the foam mattress. This mattress had no odors after opening it up.
I recently bought this mattress for my daughter's new big girl bed. She LOVES the pink color! I really like how comfortable this mattress is. Years ago, we bought a couple of cheap memory foam mattresses for our boys' beds and my husband HATES them. I've been trying to get him to let me buy a memory foam mattress for us here on Overstock since they are so inexpensive compared to other sites, but he was biased against memory foam (TOO firm) with our older mattresses. I think I'll be getting my memory foam mattress now, since he now knows that a good quality memory foam mattress isn't necessarily going to be rock hard. This mattress provides plenty of support and softness. I love it! Over time, I plan to replace our cheap mattresses with these nicer ones (in blueberry for my boys), budget permitting.

The Alabama GOP names a Rising Star each week. Landrum received the distinction for the week of Sept. 17.
Landrum is an attorney who was born and raised in Walker County. Landrum's run at probate judge is his first campaign for public office. He said receiving the recognition from the state party is an honor.
"I am honored to be recognized for my hard work and the huge efforts I am making in Walker County to help the GOP take over the probate court," Landrum said.
The county's probate judge has been a Democrat for generations, but Landrum said he is excited about the possibility of changing that.
"I am grateful for all the support I have had from the community, especially the Walker County Republican Party and its president, Linda Ensor," Landrum said.
The General Election is set for Nov. 6. Landrum is the GOP candidate for Walker County Probate Judge. His opposition is incumbent Rick Allison, a Democrat.

Thousands of people took in the first four games at The Cove this season. The Silver Hawks President said their attendance is already almost up 75% from 2012. Last year about 6,800 people attended the first four games and this year that number is just over 11,200. Now the Silver Hawks are focusing on how to keep that momentum going for the whole season. "There's two things we're really looking at. One is getting those people that are here for the first time but then getting those people coming only once or twice to come out four and five times," said Silver Hawks President, Joe Hart.
The Silver Hawks are home through Wednesday if you'd like to check out a game. You can check their schedule here.

Well then Joe you shouldve stated that from the beginning. Looked to me like you were bad mouthing the officers. From your last statement I guess I was wrong. As for her not being a danger do you think a 70 year old could kill a cop? I do
