Lackey regains all the right stuff of old
Los Angeles (42-34) vs. Baltimore (35-43), 7:05 p.m. PT
ANAHEIM -- John Lackey is back -- all the way back.That is the considered judgment of the man who studies Lackey more intently than anyone -- pitching coach Mike Butcher -- as the Angels return to Angel Stadium to open a 10-game homestand with Lackey taking on Jeremy Guthrie and the Orioles. The Angels swept a brief, two-game series in Baltimore April 28-29. The teams will meet again in Camden Yards for four games from Aug. 14-17. "There's absolutely no question he's healthy," Butcher said of Lackey. "He's doing everything he's done in the past. He's getting all of his work in -- he's still a horse in the gym. He's able to get to a nice [arm] slot to command both sides of the plate with his fastball, and his breaking ball's getting there." Lackey, who has fronted the Angles' rotation over the past five seasons, missed the first six weeks recovering from a right forearm strain. This will be his 10th start -- if you count two errant deliveries to Rangers leadoff man Ian Kinsler on May 16 -- and he has been steadily building arm strength and stamina. Since absorbing a beating by the Rays on June 10 in Florida, Lackey has been on the money his past three starts. Facing the D-backs, Dodgers and Giants, he has had length -- seven, eight and seven innings -- and strength, with 24 strikeouts in 22 innings against only seven walks. He didn't get a decision in his most recent outing at Arizona despite giving up only one run, unearned, across seven innings, striking out nine. He'd had 10 strikeouts two starts earlier in a win at San Francisco. "We all get tested at some point," Butcher said. "He's not a guy who gets too down on himself. Obviously, he expects a lot of himself. That was a time for him to step back [after the Rays got nine runs, eight earned, in five innings], say, `What am I doing out here?' "Basically, it was a matter of relaxing, taking it one pitch at a time. Getting his focus. I think he's done that." Lackey has commented recently about the importance of "just going out and having fun, not worrying about things that are out of my control." Impending free agency can be a bear to wrestle with, putting athletes in unfamiliar emotional territory. Lackey is negotiating that turf along with a number of teammates, including Vladimir Guerrero, Chone Figgins, Bobby Abreu, Robb Quinlan, Kelvim Escobar and Darren Oliver. "The best thing John can do is perform the way he's performing," Butcher said. "John's a professional; he loves to compete. "I think he was putting a lot of pressure on himself, not just on every outing, but every pitch. He's back to, `I'm going to let the ball work for me.' There's a comfort level, feeling good about his delivery and arm. "His stuff is back to where it needs to be. He believes in his stuff." Why wouldn't he? It's taken him to some amazing places, such as Game 7 of the 2002 World Series, a winning adventure against the Giants. Needless to say, Lackey would love to play it again. Pitching matchup
LAA: RHP John Lackey (2-3, 5.06 ERA)
Lackey was dominant across seven innings against the D-backs on Saturday, yielding an unearned run on five hits and three walks, striking out nine. Holding his stuff to the finish, he recorded punch-outs on six of his final seven outs. Lackey is 6-3 with a 3.46 ERA in 10 career meetings against the Orioles. BAL: RHP Jeremy Guthrie (6-7, 5.11 ERA)
The first inning once again gave Guthrie trouble in his last start. Despite picking up his sixth win of the season, Guthrie allowed three earned runs, two in the first, and walked three batters in the Orioles' 6-3 win. After the first, Guthrie calmed down, however, lasting five innings and registering two strikeouts. Tidbits
Ervin Santana is the likely starter for the second game of the series, with Sean O'Sullivan in limbo. The big right-hander, who has excelled in three starts, could be moved to middle relief or sent back to Triple-A Salt Lake to retain his starting stamina. ... The Angels hit 33 homers in June after producing a total of 40 in the season's first two months. That was their highest June total since 2003 when they launched 42. ... Gary Matthews Jr.'s next hit will be No. 1,000 in his career. ... The Angels' Double-A Arkansas affiliate had nine players selected to the Texas League All-Star Game, including three North starters: catcher Hank Conger, center fielder Peter Bourjos and first baseman Mark Trumbo. Right-handers Trevor Bell and Bobby Mosebach and lefty Trevor Reckling, recently promoted to Triple-A Salt Lake, were chosen along with second baseman Nate Sutton and right-handers Tommy Mendoza and Bobby Cassevah. ... Brandon Wood, who made his fifth appearance at first base on Tuesday, is hitting .302 at Salt Lake with 15 homers and 45 RBIs in 61 games. Howard Kendrick is batting .308 in 17 games with two homers and 10 RBIs. He has a .392 on-base percentage. Tickets

While critics dubbed Posnanski's book "toxic" before it even hit stands and the New York Times called it "the worst timed book in the history of the world," Posnanski said he wanted to do the best with his access to the Paterno family and with the story he was following. I have slowly been reading the biography over the last week or so. I am struck by what and honest man Joe was. "The Freeh report didn't wait. People wrote and talked on television," Posnanski said. "Nobody waits. None of these people wait. It seems to me that when the question gets asked only to the person who actually talked to Joe Paterno, that it feels like the question is a little bit turned on its side."
Al Pacino has been cast to play Joe Paterno in a new film based on Joe Posnanski's book, "Paterno".
More excerpts from the new Paterno book in an article by Patriot News sports writer Bob Flounders. I'm looking forward to reading the whole book when it comes out on Tuesday. Here's the next big quote to be taken out of context - According to Posnanski, Paterno put both hands on the kitchen table, looked Spanier in the eye and said, "You take care of your playground, and I'll take care of mine."

Great hands for a long ways then a short easy OW section gets you to the works. A 10' roof guards the exit but it's no more than 10+ jams with a bomber lock after the roof. Steep lieback on the limestone band to exit right and you're done.

I agree, Olaf.They call WAAAYYYY too many called-runs for Tebow, instead of calling pass plays and letting the run happen.
Please do.By the way, would a "homer" say that?
Personally, I vote for Matt Grothe because I can.
When Hawaii goes undefeated and gets to a BCS bowl game, Colt Brennan will win the Heisman. He is by far the best qb in the country, and he will prove that when he carves up Boise St. next week.
3 loses do no0t HURT TEBOW.. he is hands down the best player peiod. McFAKE is a joke..Paul hornung won the Heisman for Notre Dame with a 2-8 record... nuff said..

Like most carpenters, I learned to cope trim the traditional way, with a coping saw, a file, and sandpaper. But getting tight fits for intricate oak trim took forever, so I switched to a jigsaw fitted with the Collins Coping Foot (888/838-8988, www.collinstool.com). This was faster, but I still had to use sandpaper and files — especially on corners and tight radii.
Then, two years ago, I saw a stair builder use an angle grinder fitted with a sanding disk to scribe treads. I immediately adopted his scribing technique and applied it to coping trim. With the angle grinder, I could avoid using files except on profiles with very tight radii. And after some experimentation, I found that if I used a pneumatic die grinder along with the angle grinder, I could quickly and accurately cope almost any profile — even ones with tight radii — without using sandpaper or files.
When coping trim, it's best to use an angle grinder that runs very smoothly. I use a 4 1/2-inch Metabo WE 14-125 Plus, a solid, vibration-free model that allows me to grind with precision. It's a powerful, durable tool that I use not only for coping and scribing, but also for many rougher tasks.
Before you can cope, you must remove the guard from the grinder and install a 4-inch or 4 1/2-inch sanding disk kit — a $10 item at most hardware stores. If you're fortunate enough to have two angle grinders, you can use two different grits of paper — 24 grit for rapid stock removal and 50 grit for finer work. Otherwise, use just the 50-grit paper; switching grits for each piece takes too much time.
Instead of switching disks, the author switches grinders: He puts 24-grit paper on one tool and uses it for fast stock removal, and 50-grit on the other for precise finishing cuts.
Curves too tight to grind with a disk are cut with a die grinder equipped with a tapered carbide carving burr or a cone-shaped metalworking burr.
Die grinders consume a lot of air — much more than nail guns — so be sure to use a small one that won't overwhelm the compressor. I have an MSI-Pro 10029 gearless angle die grinder, a light model that consumes about 4 cfm. Since that's more than a small compressor can comfortably handle except in short bursts, I use my 8-cfm wheelbarrow compressor if I have a lot of coping to do. Even then, the compressor has to run a lot to keep up.
Die grinders accept a variety of bits; I like to use a fine-tooth Kutzall tungsten carbide wood-carving burr (Oliver Corp., 810/765-1000, www.olivercorp.com) with a 1/4-inch shank. It has a long tapered head, which lets me grind the trim's entire thickness even when I'm doing a steep back cut.
Because grinders generate a lot of dust, I try to set up outside — but I've also worked successfully in well-ventilated indoor areas. Some people prefer to wear a respirator when using these tools.
To begin, bevel the end of the stock with a miter saw, then highlight the cut line by rubbing the edge of a pencil along it. If the trim has a long, straight profile — as some baseboard does — set the miter saw to a slight back bevel and cut off the straight part. Remove as much material as you can without going beyond the cut line.
Highlighting the cope line with a pencil makes it easier to see.
To cope the curved part, hold the piece face-up on a bench and cut toward the cope line with a grinder. Always start with the disk — or burr — in contact with the back of the trim and then rock it forward toward the face. This makes for better control because there's more resistance when you're cutting through the entire thickness of the trim as you approach the face.
With the coarse disk in place (if you're using one), rapidly remove wood until you are close to — but not touching — the pencil line. If there are any tight curves — radii of less than 3/4 inch — notch them out with the edge of the disk. Start at the deepest part of the curve and work slowly toward the edges.
To prevent the disk from catching an edge, the author starts grinding from the back and then rolls the tool up toward the cope line.
He uses 24-grit paper to get close.
Then finishes with 50-grit paper, which leaves a smoother edge.
Up to this point, you can be pretty fast and loose with the grinder without getting into trouble. Now, though, you want to come right up to the line — so you need to be much more careful and controlled. Switch to the finer grit disk and, starting from the back, gently roll the spinning disk up toward the face, tilting the grinder as necessary to follow the contour of the cut line.
With complex profiles, be sure to pay attention to the entire disk. It should contact the trim at a single point; if you aren't careful, it may hit somewhere else and accidentally remove material you didn't want to lose.
Tight curves. If the molding has sharp radii, use the angled die grinder to carefully spin the narrow part of the burr around the curve. I like to vary the speed of the grinder: fast at first to rough out the bulk of the material, and then slow for the delicate final cuts. Avoid letting the burr contact too much of the arc at once; the additional friction might cause it to catch and jump out of control.
The author uses a die-grinder to cope the 180-degree curves on cap molding.
To preserve the more delicate parts of a one-piece baseboard. He copes the straight part of the baseboard by making a stopped cut with a miter saw.
As you enlarge the curve, you can bring the burr up higher so that the wider diameter part of it comes into contact with the wood. You can also use the die grinder to touch up areas you originally cut with the angle grinder.
Back cutting. Once the cope is cut to the line, it's time to test-fit your work. With crown you usually need to do some extreme back cutting to get the joint to fit. It's easier to do this with a grinder than with a saw. If you hold the grinder so the disk (or burr) is nearly parallel to the back of the trim, you can remove a lot of wood from behind the face without coming into contact with the coped line — thus preserving the shape while getting rid of unwanted material.
I like to leave a little edge at the top of my baseboard or at the bottom of crown and notch a triangle out of the noncoped pieces. I do this to make it appear as though the joint were mitered rather than butted together.
Normally the small projection at the bottom of this crown would be cut off.
Instead the author makes a 45-degree notch in the edge of the adjoining piece.
When the pieces are installed, the cope fits perfectly and — viewed from below — looks like a miter.
Die grinders are very good for coping hardwood trim, but they work on other materials, too. When grinding soft material like poplar, pine, and MDF, I switch from the fine Kutzall burr I use for hardwoods to either a coarser Kutzall burr or a standard solid carbide metalworkers' burr; the fine burr tends to clog up and burn with softer woods.
Because I like to get as much use as possible out of my sanding disks, they're usually so clogged and worn toward the end that they burn the wood a bit. This isn't a problem for me because the burn marks are on the back of the trim where no one can see them — but the smoke can be irritating to breathe.
Using grinders to cope trim has required one alteration to my normal habits: I drink a little less coffee on days when I'll be coping, because the grinder technique works best with steady hands. Also, this is one construction activity that I wouldn't attempt without safety glasses and earplugs.

Basel II Compliance With Tripwire: Configuration Control for Virtual and Physical Infrastructures

Executive Summary
As if financial institutions did not have enough compliance worries, a new international standard - Basel II - now looms on the compliance horizon. Unlike other laws and standards affecting financial institutions in the US and overseas such as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ("GLBA"), the EU Data Protection Directive and the PCI Data Security Standard, however, the ramifications of this law extend beyond protection of electronic consumer data. Instead, Basel II focuses on the institution's core functions of evaluating, planning for, and disclosing financial risk.

"Forbear to judge, for we are sinners all.
Close up his eyes and draw the curtain close;
And let us all to meditation."
"I can't judge any of you. I have no malice against you and no ribbons for you. But I think that it is high time that you all start looking at yourselves, and judging the lie that you live in."
"But the greatest injury of the 'wall' notion is its mischievous diversion of judges from the actual intentions of the drafters of the Bill of Rights. . . . The "wall of separation between church and state" is a metaphor based on bad history, a metaphor which has proved useless as a guide to judging. It should be frankly and explicitly abandoned."
"You will be judges of the fact. You are the sole and exclusive judges of what the truth is. You will bring with you here your common sense."
"Criticism, as it was first instituted by Aristotle, was meant as a standard of judging well; the chiefest part of which is to observe those excellencies which delight a reasonable reader"
"Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: / Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again."
"When the judge calls the criminal's name out he stands up, and they are immediately linked by a strange biology that makes them both opposite and complementary. The one cannot exist without the other. Which is the sun and which is the shadow? It's well known some criminals have been great men."
"I can speak of my own criterion for judging whether or not a book is good or bad. I ask of it a single question, From how deep and true an impulse did it spring? Was it written merely to shock? Only to make money? Or was it written to create somethin"

Though initially overlooked in favor of other, higher-ranked quarterbacks, Oklahoma knew they had something special in Bradford and started him in their 2007 season. It was a decision that Bob Stoops will never regret. As a Sooner, Sam Bradford passed for 88 touchdowns and 8,404 yards. He became the second sophomore to win the Heisman Trophy and led the Sooners to the 2009 BCS National title game. Take home a piece of OU football history when you decorate your office or fan cave with this College Legend framed collage from Fanatics Authentic. Double-matted in team colors inside a handsome black frame is an image of Bradford in action next to a replica image of a part of his Oklahoma jersey and a small photograph of the school's stadium.

The compression of the soil can cause a difference in the vegetation that can grow on them (if any) compared to the soil directly next to them.
Aerial photography with analytic equipment can show those differences over extended time periods, i.e. thousands of years.

Never mind a plane (or ET) damaging the lines if it tried to land, what about the plane surviving? Looks like the gravel traps around a race track.
Bruce Maccabbe was the first to declare the objects Unidentifaible & Opaque. The triangular formation in the left corner of the photo duplicates numerous videos seen recently of UFOs, furthermore they are stretching to the right as another acorn shaped object on the right moves to the left to join them. Hasn't anyone mythodically examined each page in sequence so we can talk specifics. I am proposing that a pattern has been found on numerous different UFOs. Somebody please check this out.
I see birds fly in formation. Have they been ruled out and who are the experts and what part of the display in San Diego are these images playing?
The curator and his staff at the Alien Exhibit were impressed enough to feature a composite of enlargements of my UFO photo at the Air & Space Museum in San Diego. Along with an illustration of three UFOs is my front page Beach & Bay Press article and some verbage on the bottom that goes UFOs??? The large piece is situated at the entance to the exhibit and it represents a major accomplishment to have passed the highest inspection by these aviation professionals who judged it worthy of inclusion.
Birds also have wings and are photographed with obvious appendages in different positions. these ten objects have no wings and almost the same tight density. I went back 2 weeks later and photographed birds and planes in the same position and after enlarging them in my own Omega C760 Enlarger could easily tell the difference.
I'm not too interested in your website, though. I'm interested in the title of this thread: "UFO Photo Proves Aliens Created Nazca Lines." I'm even more interested in what your referent in reality is for the term "aliens." Please elucidate. Thank you.
How far away were the objects in the "UFO" photograph? How large were they? Velocity? If you don't know, what do arbitrary photos of readily-identifiable birds and planes in roughly the "same position" demonstrate?I went back 2 weeks later and photographed birds and planes in the same position and after enlarging them in my own Omega C760 Enlarger could easily tell the difference.
What connection do "UFOs" have with "aliens," and what connection do "aliens" have with what we might ostensibly call objective reality?
I've just taken an image that's conclusive proof that Aliens are visiting Denmark.
The enlarged part clearly shows two saucer shaped crafts flying in formation.
Except I took it from my chair and it's spots on the window.

I've seen this kind of photo many times before; these featureless spots are almost always birds. (Sometimes they are insects instead). To compare them with other bird photos you have taken you need to get the same species at the same distance under the same lighting conditions.
Incidentally, about the 'triangular formation'; any three dots form a triangle, so triangular formations prove nothing.

And to state the obvious once again, this photo has absolutely no connection with the Nasca lines.

That's circular logic.
If you want to use those other pictures to substantiate your claim, you first have to prove, beyond any doubt, that those other pictures are *truly* pictures of UFOs. Can you do that?
Sorry, but I doubt that very much.
When you come to BAUT, you're not among people who accept every blob on a picture as proof of aliens. Or any blob for that matter.
I'm sure you meant "methodologically," but "myth" is certainly more suitable.
Time for a reality check.
Three objects can only form a straight line ("wow, look at that alignment, it must mean something") or a triangle ("wow, look a triangle, that is just like all those other trangles I have seen").The triangular formation in the left corner of the photo duplicates numerous videos seen recently of UFOs
"Blob" might be a better description. Have you heard of pareidolia? You need something a bit more objective than this.acorn shaped object
Sorry, its a photo. How can you tell how things are moving? And what does it prove anyway. I assume you have observed birds in flight; how does this differ from behavior like that?on the right moves to the left to join them
I did take a look. Ignoring the fact that it has to be a candidate for worst website design ever, all I found was random photos of unrelated things. With some vague descriptions trying to draw some implausible connections between them.Hasn't anyone mythodically examined each page in sequence so we can talk specifics.
Your "analysis" of the grainy "blob" on page 2 is quite amusing though. By the way, there are well established image processing algorithms for extracting details such as outlines from images. Drawing a shape by hand, surprisingly, is not one of them.
You think you can see some common patterns. This is a long way from demonstrating that (a) these common patterns exist using some objective measure and (b) what they might mean if they do. If all your UFO pictures are birds, for example, we would expect to see some common patterns.I am proposing that a pattern has been found on numerous different UFOs.
thier website, it looks like they are taking many concepts (both sightings and SciFi) and comparing it to the real science.
Since I'm a few thousand miles away, I can only guess that they are using these enlargements as an attention getter or introduction to some discussion.
Without seeing the article I can only guess that you are speaking of a caption for the picture. It's also hard to tell if the "accomplishment" is being attributed to the exhibit or the picture. News reports seem to make things sound ambiguous when taken out of context. They also love to sensationalize things.
Personally, I believe that there's a species of rare flying cows that's inhabited the earth for centuries, but are very elusive. This photo shows some flying dots and we don't know what those dots are. Finally, I have concrete proof that it's a herd of flying cattle! Game over, mainstream science! Your ballooning bovine conspiracy lays in ruins!
. . . Or, it's just a photo with some dots in it, which doesn't actually tell us anything about what those dots might be. I wonder how a rational person should handle such a thing? (Hint: by looking at the most rational explanations first, before jumping to some wild and unsupported conclusion).

How does this constitute the "authentication" you claimed? Simply ruling out certain selected common anomalies doesn't provide proof of aliens, as you are claiming in the title of this thread.
The triangular formation in the left corner of the photo duplicates numerous videos seen recently of UFOs
And how many different ways can a triangle appear?
...another acorn shaped object on the right moves to the left to join them.
You didn't see the "craft" until you developed the picture. Assessments of motion are completely speculative at this point.
Hasn't anyone mythodically examined each page in sequence so we can talk specifics.
"Mythodically." How Freudian. I think you mean "methodically."
No, the way it works here is not, "Everyone go please read every single page on my web site." Especially when you're so vigorously trying to promote yourself as an evangelist of the UFO gospel. Present your best case here and now.
I thought this was laid to rest when it was demonstrated that all these lines mark underground water courses? The waterways marked by name drawn as symbols.
Waterways that are proven to exist, unlike extraterrestrials.

(John, not the other one.)
The "BEST UFO PHOTO EVER!" consists of 10 indistinguishable blobs on the horizon?
I think the term 'Unidentified Flying Object' gets used too loosely and too often. Just because it's unidentifiable to you doesn't mean it's unidentifiable. Just because it hasn't been identified doesn't mean you can identify it as an alien space craft.
It's a photo of some potentially identifiable and, in all likelihood, totally terrestrial objects.
My guess? Birds. Again.
Oh please. They licensed your photo for their exhibit. Don't make such a big deal out of it. Here's the museum's summary:
Note the decidedly sensational "hooks." I noticed they also licensed images from Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and that they talk about the UFO phenomenon, aliens in fiction, and a whole host of marginally scientific topics.
"Highest inspection?" "Aviation professionals?" Good heavens, you make it sound like you won the Nobel prize or something. On what criteria did they "judge" your photo? Are you really implying that it constitutes any kind of scientific verification or endorsement of your claims that those little black specks represent alien spacecraft?
Sorry, but the ability to attract attention doesn't constitute a confirmation of the claim, especially since you seem to seek it so vigorously.
Photographed that way always in all cases? Your blobs are right at the grain limit of the film. To pretend you can extract meaningful contours is ridiculous. To pretend that all appendages will be prominent enough to exceed the Nyquist limit is preposterous.
I went back 2 weeks later and photographed birds and planes in the same position...
No. You went back and photographed those known objects in positions that you cannot verify represent the original conditions of your UFO photo. You didn't notice the original objects when you photographed them, only after you developed the film. So you have no way of determining whether the birds you photographed later were the same kind of bird or were far enough away to duplicate the original photographic conditions.
You attempted to falsify the bird hypothesis, but you did so unscientifically.

The above amazeballs illustration comes from this week's issue of The Economist, which features a cover story on the new wars being waged between Facebook, Apple, Google and Amazon.
And how about this cover / lede combo:
THE four giants of the internet age—Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon—are extraordinary creatures. Never before has the world seen firms grow so fast or spread their tentacles so widely. Apple has become a colossus of capitalism, accounting for 4.3% of the value of the S&P 500 and 1.1% of the global equity market. Some 425m people now use its iTunes online store, whose virtual shelves are packed to the gills with music and other digital content. Google, meanwhile, is the undisputed global leader in search and online advertising. Its Android software powers three-quarters of the smartphones being shipped. Amazon dominates the online-retail and e-book markets in many countries; less well known is its behind-the-scenes power in cloud computing. As for Facebook, if the social network's one billion users were a country, it would be the world's third largest.
The article is must-read for all investors, tech or otherwise. The rivalries and alliances and battles to come will have a hand in shaping the entire entertainment firmament of the nation in the coming decade, with huge ramifications for all of us in terms of viewing habits, reading proclivities and the way we both consume products and connect with our friends and acquaintances.
In other words, epic shit – go read it:

Raising money for a good cause was also the name of the game for the Khiva Shriners in Amarillo Saturday.
Members of the Masonic organization set up shop at major intersections throughout Amarillo to collect any spare change from folks driving by. The money raised from Saturday's National Paper Drive goes to support all 22 of the Shriner hospitals throughout the U.S., Mexico City and Montreal. At those hospitals, children with burns or orthopedic problems can be treated completely free of charge.
"We feel very proud of our heritage," said Khiva Shriner Andy Wines. "We feel very proud of what we do. We feel like as an organization when we're in your communities, we're doing something good and we're having fun doing it."
On average, the Shriner's spend about $700 million every year to keep their hospitals up and running which is why organizers say fundraising drives like Saturday's are so important.

À La Carte Excursions | General Information
Add To Plan
Begin with a scenic transfer by 4-wheel drive jeep to the Botanical Gardens, passing Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon and the residential area known as Jardim Botanico due to its proximity to the Botanical Gardens. This lush oasis was inaugurated in 1808 by the king, Dom João VI. As in imperial times, the gardens have remained a haven of peace amid a teeming metropolis. A guided walk at a leisurely pace will let you enjoy the many varieties of plants and examples of endangered species. The most striking features are the transverse avenues of 90-foot-high royal palms. In addition to the flora, the gardens are also home of some 140 species of birds and monkeys living in the trees. Your guide will show you the orchid nursery and the insect-eating plants house. Half natural jungle, half laid out in beautifully landscaped gardens; visitors never fail to enjoy spending time in these magical surroundings. From the Botanical Gardens, head to the western fringes of Rio, where various forests were united to form an 8,200-acre national park. The 4-wheel drive vehicles will take you through mountainous areas and deep into the lush, green forest. You will make a stop at the Chinese Lookout. From a Chinese-style pavilion there are great views of the Corcovado and Sugar Loaf mountains, Ipanema and Leblon beaches, and the Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon. Then continue with your drive to the Taunay Waterfalls for another stop before heading towards the exit and your drive back to the pier.

These Wedding ABC poems are examples of ABC poems about Wedding. These are the best examples of Wedding ABC poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
He pushed me on the ground
And then pulled me by my hair
I tearfully asked, 'Is that why I married you?'
But he kicked me. That's not fair!
I ordered him to stop
I asked him to set me free
And when nothing happened
I begged him 'please'!
But he didn't stop
And I started to cry
Then I remembered my rights
Why not to give a try…!
I pushed him greatly
And succeeded
But he reattained the condition
And instantly defeated.
He blowed hardly on my face
That I was forced to bleed
And suddenly I woke from my nightmare,
'What happened, my sweet..?'
Though we have no expectations
we're committed to our love
as we stand upon life's altar
before the Lord above
Oh blend us Lord together
'neath the heavens and the sun
each heart unto the other
'til we become as one
And in thy mighty power Lord
set angels 'round about
to seal our love forever
and to keep the world without
Then across the mighty heavens write
for all the world to see
all you have placed within our hearts
a love that comes from thee
looking for him....
in strange places....
where to go......
I had to be strong and not falter
Remember our wedding day?
You ran from the alter
Didn't want to talk to anyone wanted to be alone
Remember our conversation on the cellphones?
You expressed your doubts
And began to shout
Recalling a fight from moths ago
When friends and us all went out
I embraced you with words
And foiled your concerns
We both couldn't ignore
What our hearts yearned
We shed our tear
And shared a cry
Look at us now
We're doing fine
2 years later a beautiful lady
Hugs, kissed, and endless smiles
Expecting our first baby
What a good mother
You never scold
Lilly Ann we hoard like treasure
That's our precious gold
We shed tears
And shared a cry
Look at us now
We are a family with our own house
And we are doing fine
Yesterday was blue....
and the tears came like blood....
phantom blue....
and i missed you....
wherever you sing.......
I wonder...
does the strain come from...
lack of touching??
I wonder
will the time be near
to understand sharing
poses in the sand?
i remember the long pink gown.
the flower's in her hair.
she had brown wavey hair.
then there was those shiney glass slippers.
her family said she looked like cinderella with brown hair.
she thought she heard you may kiss the bride.
then she woke up and the sound she heard was just the rain outside her window.
then she laughed and said wait im already married!
Falling from the heavens, my beautiful angel. To save me when I'm in danger
and I to the. For in god's wishes we would meet and fall in love. And marry here
today with each other in our arm's. Stay with me here, never stray. And I will love
you for the rest of my living and dyeing day's. Let it be known that until my soul
passes into another life and even after. My love for you will last forever.
Maybe maybe not....
Sunflowers, Phoebells' Cannon....
I had a dream of you last night....
I found solace......

JOHN CURTIS - Daily Union Sports Editor
SHELBYVILLE, IL. — Windsor/Stew-Stras co-op was golden last spring. But this fall started out a lot different, as they were skunked by South Central on Thursday, 11-0.
Windsor only managed four hits in the 5-inning early dismissal, while South Central pounded out 11 hits. Brandon Helmuth Christian Vonderheide and Alex Allen all went 1-for-3, while Bryse Bugger was 1-for-1.
It was a scoreless tie through two innings, then South Central put a down payment on the outcome with a 2-run 3rd. It was still just a 2-0 game in the bottom of the 5th, when South Central opened the floodgates and ended the game in dominant fashion, a 9-run rally.
Windsor/Stew-Stras (0-1) is back in action on Tuesday, September 4 at Louisville.
South Central 11, Windsor/Stew-Stras 0
W/SS stats: Helmuth 1-for-3; Vonderheide 1-for-3; Allen 1-for-3; Bugger 1-for-3. Pitching (L) Jones (0-1) 3 IP, 4 runs, 8 hits, 0 BB, 1 K.
SC stats: Zaterman 0-for-3, 2 runs; Powless 1-for-2, 2 runs; Bary 3-for-3, run, 3 RBIs; Ross 1-for-4, 2 runs, 4 RBIs; Holmes 2-for-3, run, 2 RBIs; Hill 1-for-3; Harmeier 1-for-3, run; Henken 1-for-2, run, RBI; Peters 1-for-3. Pitching (W) Peters 5 IP, 0 runs, 4 hits, 0 BBs, 7 Ks.

After the somewhat disappointing and forgettable Stomp 442, it is a breath of fresh A.I.R (haha) to hear this album! Everythng about this album is great, from the thunder of Charlie's drums on the first song to the last heartfelt lyric of Frank on the last song. Simply put, one of the greatest Thrax albums of all time!1:Crush-This song opens with the gatling gun drums of Charlie Benante and the agressive, dark vocals of John Bush. As an opener and song it rivals even the might "Potters Field!" The melodies are sharp and cutting and go perfectly with the drums and vocals. Great song, just goddamn great!2:Catharsus-Another good song! Intelligent lyrics, and innovative guitars. A good seperater between Crush and the next song.3:Inside Out-Heavy like nothing else! This song tears through speakers! Fast drums and a solo that's god like. It is, in my opinion, the best song on the album. Dimebag Darrel (PanterA) plays guitars on this one, only adding to the heaviness. The lyrics are powerful and angry, Bush has never sounded better!4:Piss & Vineger (P&V)-This song is fast and heavy, and though its predesscor towers over it, its filled with good riffs and provocative lyrics.5:604-Ah, the humor of Anthrax. Comic genius, enough said.6:Toast to the Extras-This song is another funny one. It's done in an almost country style. Funny, but true lyrics. Good song.7:Born Again Idiot-Angry, very angry, I love it. Makes you glad your not whoever John is singing about in this song.8:Killing Box-Another angry one, made doubly so by the addition of Phil Anselmo (PanterA) on backing vocals. This song screams with ferocity and interesting guitar work.9:Harms Way-One of my favorites. This song starts slow and builds to a creshendo. A very melodic song, with sorta cryptic lyrics. The chorus is something to really admire musically.10:Hog Tied-This song is a tad disturbing, but good. The riffs are heavy and the drums are great.11:Big Fat-The only somewhat forgettable song on the album. Decent song, good, but nothing special.12:Cupajoe-Right up there with "Big Balls!" This one is a laugh riot, absolutely wonderful!13:Alpha Male-Catchy, heavy, a good well rounded song.14:Stealing From a Thief-Heavy, real heavy, with great lyrics. This song makes Bush soud just plain evil! Lyrics that are thoughful and cryptic, a solo similar to "Random Acts of Senseless Violence." This song has it all, it speeds up halfway through for some great drums.15:Hidden Track-This is sung and written by Frank Bello. It's about his departed brother. It is touching and heartfelt, a good way to end a great album.
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
If I may offend Joey Belladonna fans, the best thing that Anthrax could have done is hired John Bush as their singer. Anthrax does their own thing and they do it well. John Bush is easily one of the best vocalists in all of rock. Don't forget that in the early 80's every single metal band was courting this guy to be thier singer including Metallica. He adds a fresh and melodious element to Anthrax's music that is uncontrolably infectious. Vol.8 and Stomp442 are my 2 favorite albums of all time. Since John joined the band in '92 Anthrax's music has been really hard to define. Prior to '92 they were strictly lumped into the thrash category but after John joined you can't label them as that. The music is still really heavy and uptempo but the vocals have a melodious twist that makes it very non-linear un-like old thrash. These guys are paving the way for 21st century thrash like they did for 80's thrash. If you're afraid to buy this album because you think Anthrax is a washed up 80's band; you're sorely mistaken. Vol.8 as was Stomp 442 is a very innovative album that shows that Anthrax is clearly ahead of their time.
The title of the lead track says it all – Crush. And this album does just that with bone crushingly heavy music in the form of tunes like Catharsis and Inside Out. This is a brutally stripped down heavy metal album, all pleasantness leeched out of the tunes. Their thrash roots are visible in the manic edge to a number of the tracks while some relief from the heaviness is possible if listeners direct their ears to 604 and Cupajoe – but that relief is only from the heavy duty lyrics – not the scurrying speed of the music.
All the protagonists are in fine form – Bush has a voice I've always admired and Scott Ian's stamp permeates the record. This album has a serious feeling of defiance about it, steadfastly hodling onto the bands niche audience. Though it must be said that despite the admiragble aspects such as steadfastness and the refusal of the band to mellow, this is not a loveable record, or even a particularly likeable one.
The reasons for this are the barren feel of the arrangements. Anthrax were always a thrash band, or at least a metal one, but their albums and projects have usually felt more lush than this. One tune that does stand out amongs it's peers is Toast to the Extras, which sounds like a piece of flippant silliness until you really consider what the lyrics are saying. At which point you may come to consider it the best tune on the album.
This '98 album saw Anthrax fighting a rearguard action to maintain their market share. And the struggle of this oozes through every pore of the album. Though the somewhat amusing fold out cover art is kinda nifty. It's also about the most optimistic aspect of this release.
Anthrax rock out and rock hard on this album. But there isn't the awesome tunes that we got on Stomp 442 and the band here make up for this via heaviness – the exception being Toast to the Extras. As of this relesae Anthrax were a band barely keeping their heads above water despite the good points of this rather dour album. 2.5 stars.
Anthrax's albums have been getting progressively worse since Joey Belladonna left the band. White Noise was good, Stomp 442 was okay, and Volume 8 is just plain weak. There are only a few decent tracks on this c.d., not enough for me to recommend it.
In Anthrax's 1998 release "Volume 8: the threat is real", Anthrax went back to their basics to create a new style of metal that suits them perfect. This was after Anthrax walked away from Electra records after making what is their best work with "Sound of White Noise" and "Stomp 442″ and almost going unknown. They signed on a little label called Ignition records and after they went through all the controversey and [...] with Electra they had to get somethings off their chests which makes for great music. This album holds great Anthrax songs including "Crush", "Born Again Idiot", and a true heavy metal anthem "Inside Out" (this is also Anthrax's best music video and one of the best ever). Get to the end of this album after the last track and skip the blank space to hear the hidden song "Pieces" which was written and played by Frank and Charlie. This song is about Frank and Charlie's late relative Anthony. With all these great songs don't look past Anthrax's greatest and best song "Catharsis". Ignition records did go out of business which leaves "Volume 8″ the hardest Anthrax cd to find. Go out and search my fellow metalheads, trust me, it is well worth it!!!

In only its second year, the Bermuda Triple Crown saw dramatic growth in participation and awards. The bite also cooperated this year with a record number of hookups and photographed releases. The average fish ran around 400 pounds with the biggest weighing at 797 pounds. Mix in the charter and private boats in Bermuda with the U.S. boats making the run of at least 680 miles to the island and you have many of the most competitive teams in fishing plying the rich waters off Bermuda. Add fish going into the grander range and you have the Super Bowl of billfishing series.
Overall, the series awarded $771,000 in cash and $60,000 in prizes. In the end, the Coral Gables based team on RUM BUM, a 54' Bertram, won the championship with 3500 points. Owner Luis Bacardi, Captain Jim O'Neil, team members Jennifer Bacardi, Sean Williams, Shawn Albury and Andre Pepin each receive the coveted Triple Crown Champion Ring from Vanmark Jewelry, a bronze sculpture from Geoffrey Smith, a trophy from King Sailfish Mounts, a Furuno Sounder, championship apparel from Pelagic Gear embroidered by Yaupon Embroidery, Triple Crown paintings from Steve Goione, a de-hooker from Arc De hooker, special Triple Crown lures from Jaslure, Mold Craft, Pacific Trolling Gear and Black Bart Lures, a trophy from Bermuda Tourism, Ocean Waves Sunglasses, Panoptx Sunglasses and a Pompanette flying gaff for the boat.
The series started off with the Bermuda Billfish Blast on July 2. The two-day event recorded a record 47 teams competing for over $215,000 in cash and prizes. Sixty-five hookups were recorded with twenty three blues and five whites successfully photographed and released with one qualifying blue coming in at 580-pounds. Team WON BY LAND took the early lead with 1000-points. RUM BUM followed close behind with 900 and NEVER ENOUGH trailed at 700-points.
The Bermuda Big Game Classic ran July 12-16, and also had a record turnout with 58 teams competing for an amazing $470,000 in cash and prizes. One hundred and seventy four hookups were recorded in the three-day event with 65 blues and 22 whites successfully photographed and released with 4 qualifying blues coming to the scales. The tournament seated over 500 guests at the gala awards banquet. By the end of the Classic, winning team RUM BUM passed all other competitors and stood at 3300 points. Their closest competitor was ON ICE at 2000 points. QUEEN OF HEARTS sat third at 1534 points.
The Sea Horse Anglers Club Billfish Tournament ran July 19-23 and continued the trend for the series with a record 30 boats and $120,000 in cash and prizes. Thirty-three blues, six whites and one spearfish were successfully photographed and released with one qualifying blue of 532 pounds coming to the scales. Team RUM BUM's lead was cut to 300 points but they added a white marlin release to open up a 500-point cushion. As teams continued to climb the ladder RUM BUM just couldn't get another release. However, in the end, RUM BUM's stellar performance in the Blast and Classic and total of five blues and five whites released during the series to earn 3500-points was enough to hold off the charging QUEEN OF HEARTS that finished second at 3034 points. DE MAKO finished third at 3,000 points.
Big congratulations to team RUM BUM, winners of the 2006 Bermuda Triple Crown Billfish Championship.

Arif returns and shakes the rust off, analyzing a fantastic win by the Vikings, who outdueled the NFL's top passing attack for a 34-24 win.
The Vikings head into their bye week on a good note, but Daily Norseman never takes a week off from NFL picks. Or talking about Christian Ponder.
Adrian Peterson is back to being the best at his position in the National Football League. And, according to him, he's not 100% healthy yet.
The Minnesota Vikings defeated the Detroit Lions on Sunday afternoon, despite not having Percy Harvin and despite allowing Calvin Johnson to go over 200 yards receiving.
We have all of the information about Sunday's contest between the Detroit Lions and the Minnesota Vikings right here for your viewing pleasure.
