I heard somewhere that a Fan Post should be like a jelly donut: Its beginning should fill you with pleasure, and its ending should leave you hungry for more. Unfortunately, the best I can manage is a title for a Fan Post and after that: pffft. Not much of a beginning.
I realize that most of the "hip" fan posts are chock full of hilarious similes and analogies, but my level of cleverness usually amounts to "That's about as welcome as your mom's expression when she finds a batch rag under your bed." See? Makes no sense. Unlike a gif of a kitten, there's almost nowhere that that would be appropriate to insert.
This whole UFC 145 thing has got me in a fever of ideas. Every day I browse BE and a dozen other sites, hoping to find some coverage of the event - especially the main event - and all I find are scattered reports. And I've scanned every channel on TV and wondered, "Is this fight card this week or a year from now? Why no coverage?"
I've found myself thinking "hmmm...maybe I should write a Fan Post and cover some of the topics everyone seems to be avoiding" and then, naturally, I think "I could pretend to have inside information, sort of like Front Seat Joe or whatever that guy's name is that twitters all that shit about his 'sources' feeding him scoops." I figure if anyone calls me on it, I can just say "internet, my man...deal with it..." and log off for a few days until the dust settles and some fighter fails a piss test or everyone is distracted by someone else's article about Super Fite Leeg or whatever.
So, anyway, I've got the itch to crank out a Fan Post before the shit goes down on Saturday, and I could use some input. Here are some Fan Post titles I'm working on - I just need some suggestions on, you know, text and what have you that I can insert to fulfill the 75-word requirement (and get a bunch of recs, of course, because I'm not one to shy from adulation of any kind, even from strangers). To show I'm serious and to demonstrate my gratitude, I'll insert a relevant gif and, if I can figure out how to do it, maybe even a controversial poll right in this thread.
Ha ha, I just realized it's true that drinking helps make these fan shots seem like very good ideas.
Check it out! The "jump" everyone uses!
Here's my list of titles, with brief explanations to guide you [I even edited it, using Bold and Italics to add pizzazz!]:
- Jones vs. Evans: This Shit Can't Get More Real, Can It? (Spoiler alert: It sure fuckin' can!)
- Jon Jones: Is he ducking Mark Hunt by staying at LHW? (See? This one combines two very hip topics.)
- John Jones to Rashad Evans on Twitter: "Hey, I'm John Jones the insurance salesman! Quit twitter bombing me! I haven't been in a fight my entire life!" (I would fabricate a bunch of twitter screen shots for this one, and maybe put a disclaimer in fine print at the end..."after the jump" as they say in the MMA writing biz.)
- Judo Chop: Jones vs. Evans Staredown Technique Dissection (This would be funny if it had gifs of kittens scaring dogs. Hmmm...maybe not.)
- Karate Throw: Ten Ways Rashad Can Ruin Jones's Special Night (Can't for the life of me remember what this was about...)
- Grapplin' Jab: Shad's Subtle Submission Strategy (I think this could be decent if I understood what 'irony' meant.)
- BE Poll: Will they touch gloves before the fight? (This would explore the little known 'grudge' they apparently have.)
- The True Story about How Jon actually Signs His Name "Bone" and Pretends He Forgot the S at the End! (This would require frequent use of the word "allegedly," of course.)
- Jones vs. Evans: Who will win the re-match? (I'd use a literary device known as "foreshadowing" in this one. I wrote a school paper about that once, and it's probably somewhere on my computer.)
- Should Jon Jones cut to 185 if he loses? (Probably wouldn't be able to keep the surprise ending a surprise very long on this one.)
- Jones vs. Evans: Stories the Media Have Overlooked (Spoiler alert: There are none.)
- Ten Feuds to Make After Evans vs. Jones (And none of them will involve Faber or Cruz.)
- Weigh in on this: Rashad Loses Ten Stubborn Pounds with this One Crazy Little Diet Trick (I saw a guy that looks like Shad in a popup ad and this article idea "popped up" immediately.)
- Top Ten Songs Bones Should Play when he Walks Out (and they're all by chicks)
- Should Bones get a TRT Exemption for his Skinny Calves? (Lots of fun to be had dispensing fake medical "facts" in this one...probably be able to copy and paste some convincing anatomical terms from an obscure article... I'll attribute it to "research shows that" and no one can argue with it.)
- Ten Reasons Shad Won't Get Faded (and a thousand why he will)
- Insult or Inside Info?: Jones calls Rashad "constipated, because I'm gonna make him quit on the stool." (Sometimes writers win over their audience with 'naughty' humor. I'm sure there are some joke sites that have good material I can "borrow".)
- The
Ten Nine Eight
There you go. Any help will be gratefully received. Here, have a gif:
And look, a "poll"!

Hello, friends. I have written a preview about tomorrow's game between Louisville and Cincinnati. I decided to link this in a fan post because I don't think many people read the fan shots. They are at the bottom of the page and all that jazz. I think I went a long way to answering a question that some people have, had, maybe have, never had and I'm assuming they had it because I'm trying to get this word count up, about how I can write a Cincinnati blog while also being a pretty die hard Louisville Cardinals fan. There are also a lot of words in there about my dad.
So if you like previews that start off with game analysis and insight, there you go. If you like the personal stories of people you don't know but kind of know a little bit because a lot of us have been posting here for years, there you go as well. Something for everyone.
Ignore the sentence of the post if you want.
Thanks, everyone.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Hennepin County authorities have recovered the body of a homeless man who slipped and fell into the Mississippi River.
The sheriff's office says two homeless men were camping near the river in Minneapolis on Saturday after noon. One man waded into the water and slipped.
The other man ran for help and found a fire truck and two Minneapolis firefighters nearby. One firefighter went into the river and pulled out the victim, who was 15 feet from shore. The man was dead.
The sheriff's office is handling the investigation.

Enjoy our round-up of ten mobile phone related news stories you may have missed including Huawei still teasing its big screen phone plans, Apple's 12 Days of Christmas app and a Nexus 7 that's even more of a bargain.
1. Huawei Planning Tablet/Smartphone Hybrid…Still
This isn't the first time we've heard about Huawei wanting to challenge the Samsung Galaxy Note II, and like the last time, it's keeping the hints at a minimum while still whetting our appetites. Speaking on the Weibo social network, Huawei's CEO said a large-screen device would be released next year with a new design, slim chassis and a monster processor. Other than that, he didn't reveal anything else.
2. LG E940 Leaked
Another 1080p smartphone has been vaguely leaked again this week – the LG E940. It has appeared in a set of benchmark figures sporting a 1080p screen, an Adreno 320 GPU and Android 4.1 onboard. LG has already talked about producing 5-inch 1080p screens, so we can assume this device will use one, and the Adreno graphics chip is usually joined by Qualcomm's Snapdragon S4 Pro. Another one to look forward to next year.
3. Tim Cook Says Macs Will Be Made in America Next Year
In an interview with NBC, Apple CEO Tim Cook has said a line of Mac computers will be produced in America next year. This is a change from the computers being made in China, and an effort to appease those who condemn the company for its use of the controversial Foxconn factories. Cook dispelled talk that a USA-made iPhone wouldn't be cost effective, saying instead that it was a skills problem that prevented the devices from being built there.
4. T-Mobile USA to Sell Apple Devices
T-Mobile USA will start to sell Apple devices in 2013, although the network has declined to say exactly which products it will stock. It's safe to say it'll be either the iPhone or the iPad, or potentially both, bringing it in line with other major US networks.
5. Apple Releases 12 Days of Christmas App
Apple's annual 12 Days of Christmas app is now live in the iTunes App Store. It's available for free and will offer a free app, movie, TV show, music or book everyday from 26 December to January 6. Download it today to make sure you're ready to take advantage of the deals – which have been good other years – when they arrive.
6. Oppo Find 5 to be Sold in USA
The Oppo Find 5, another of the 1080p smartphones set for release soon, was originally expected to go on sale only in China, but it has now appeared on a US website too. The page looks official and claims the 5-inch, quad-core phone will be compatible with AT&T and T-Mobile when it's released, and will cost $499/£310. Both these networks are GSM carriers, so there's a chance the Find 5 will come to the UK too.
7. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Released
The 10th anniversary edition of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City has been released this week, and it's available for iOS and Android, priced at £2.99. Converted over from the PlayStation 2 original, it follows Rockstar's impressive conversion of Grand Theft Auto III this time last year. We'll have a review of the game soon, but in the meantime, enjoy this brilliantly nostalgic trailer (which is ever-so slightly NSFW).
8. Make The Switch Between Android and iOS to WP8 Easier
If you've purchased, or are about to purchase, a Nokia Lumia Windows Phone then you may find Xyo.net helpful, as it will let you know which of you current favourite apps are available in the Windows Phone Store. When you find them, a QR code can guide you to the app ready to install. It's a quick and easy way to help ease the switch.
9. The Times Offers Nexus 7 for £50
Yes, through The Times newspaper you really can get a 32GB Nexus 7 tablet for £50, the catch is you must sign up for an 18-month subscription at the same time, at a cost of £17 per month. Alternatively, you can save even more by paying £300 up front for everything, and considering the tablet on its own is £199, it's a great deal.
10. Apple Continues iPhone 5 International Rollout
Apple has announced that between now and December, it will release the iPhone 5 in more than 50 additional countries, bringing the overall total up to more than 100 by the end of the year. South Korea on December 7 is first on the list, followed by Albania to Venezuela on 14 December, and Barbados to Vietnam on 21 December.

The man accused of the Colorado theater shooting won't have to enter a plea until March.
A judge on Friday granted a defense motion to delay the arraignment of James Holmes until March 12. The decision came a day after he ruled that Holmes should stand trial in the shooting.
Defense lawyers didn't give a reason for the delay.
One possible reason could be to seek a mental health evaluation by a doctor of their choosing. His lawyers have said Holmes is mentally ill, raising the possibility of an insanity defense.
If Holmes had entered an insanity plea Friday, an evaluation would be done by state doctors.
Meanwhile, the father of one of the victims is promising there will be no more outbursts.
Steve Hernandez apologized to the judge today, after shouting that Holmes should "rot in Hell."
Hernandez was the father of Rebecca Wingo, who died along with 11 others in the shooting.
The judge was sympathetic, telling him, "I am terribly sorry for your loss and I can only begin to imagine the emotions that are raging." (AP)

Flu clinics offered this month
It's not too late to get a flu shot for the season and options are there for people who worry the cost may be more than they can afford.
The Crow Wing County Community Services Health Division is hosting two Ban the Bug Influenza Vaccination Clinics in December.
With the holidays bringing extended family members and friends together, county health officials note there may be one thing they don't want to share - the flu bug.

This review hasn't been rated yet.
The Admiral Codrington seems to be a tale of 2 cities. The front parlour is rammed with high octane flirting and peacocking from old-money-but-working-in-something-suity types mostly under 35. But push through to the back and it opens out into an incredibly light, civilised little conservatory-housed bistro restaurant. I had actually been here before for boozy work drinks and several casual meals with friends (but inexplicably had forgotten this fact). The draw this time was the cheeseburger which according to a recent poll conducted by Burgerac (is there a better named food blogger?!) is London's favourite burger. With stiff competition from the likes of Meatliquor and the Piggy Burger at Bar Boulod that is a big claim and we had to check it out. The burger is indeed sublime and earns the 10/10 rating: a brioche style bun robust enough to hold in the juicy patty (cooked to medium pinky perfection) without falling apart but without stealing the show either. Hand cut chips provide a great foil to the main show. It's not just about the burgers though. I had a brilliant creamy burrata starter, although my fiancee was a bit disappointed with his cold globe artichoke, and we shared a deliciously rich sticky toffee pud to end. Service is spot on with the meal well paced and the only flaw being a slight delay in delivery of the chips. There is a great range of customers providing a background hum although it has to be noted that there are some children, some Americans and the couple next to us eat their burgers with a knife and fork. WHAT?! Everyone knows the whole point of meat between bread is that you can eat it with your fingers thus allowing you to continue gambling away your inheritance unhampered by cutlery. Ask the Earl of Sandwich. If you don't have an inheritance you should know the bill including a good bottle of Argentinian Malbec was a very reasonable £45 a head. I will not forget this place again.

The white chocolate chips makes this cookie stand out! Followed directions. Used Silpat non-stick mats on cookie sheets - no sticking. Baked 10 minutes and made 40 medium sized cookies. I must admit the cookies were so good warm that we skipped the frosting!! Great, easy recipe.
Reviewed Feb. 14, 2013
Fast, easy and very good. Hate making cookies, but love these. Used parchment for easy cleanup and would increase the oil to 1/2 cup; dough was slightly stiff. Made only three dozen, but I like larger cookies.

Springfield-- The Illinois Senate has approved legislation to allow school districts to use cameras to catch people who don't stop for buses picking up or dropping off kids.
The owner of a vehicle captured by the cameras could be fined $150 for a first offense and $500 for each subsequent offense.
The bus must have its stop sign extended and lights flashing. It must also be clear that students are either getting on or off of the bus.
Lawmakers voted 36-12 in favor of the bill, which now moves to the House.
Sen. Antonio Munoz is a Chicago Democrat and the bill's sponsor. He says it will deter people from passing buses and endangering kids.
Opponents say it's unconstitutional because people who receive tickets can't challenge them in court.
Evangelist Franklin Graham prayed on a sidewalk outside the Pentagon Thursday after his invitation to a prayer service inside was withdrawn because of comments that insulted people of other religions. More>>

So am I supposed to be having problems playing videos on my iPad?
So far I'm having a ton of trouble getting any video from CES to play on my iPad 4. Was this just designed that way? I really have to get my lazy ass up from the couch to my desktop to watch a video? UGH. What is this, 2009?

Entry and exit
Australians need a visa to visit Paraguay. Single and multiple-entry visas can be obtained at your nearest Embassy or Consulate of Paraguay. Some Australians may be eligible to obtain a 90-day multiple-entry visa on arrival, at the Asunción International Airport for a fee of USD135.00, payable in cash. Contact your nearest Embassy or Consulate of Paraguay to determine if you are eligible.
Visa and other entry and exit conditions (such as currency, customs and quarantine regulations) change regularly. Contact the nearest Embassy or Consulate of the Paraguay for the most up-to-date information.
Ensure that your passport is stamped by an immigration official if entering Paraguay overland or you will be subject to a heavy fine when departing the country.
Children under 18 years of age travelling alone or with one parent may be required to provide a letter of consent from the non-travelling parent(s) to the Paraguayan authorities. Contact your nearest Embassy or Consulate of Paraguay well in advance of travel for further advice.
If you are travelling to or from Paraguay via the United States you will need to meet US entry/transit requirements. You should check your visa needs well in advance of travel with the nearest Embassy or Consulate of the United States. See also our travel advice for the United States of America.
Paraguay is listed by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a country at risk of yellow fever. Yellow fever is a serious and potentially fatal disease preventable by vaccination. We strongly recommend that all travellers be vaccinated for yellow fever before travelling to Paraguay.
As the quarantine requirements for yellow fever vaccination differ between countries, we recommend that you check the yellow fever entry requirements for Paraguay and all countries you intend to enter or transit by contacting their foreign missions in Australia. Some airlines may require passengers to present a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate before being allowed to board flights out of the country. For more information about yellow fever, including Australian re-entry requirements, see the Department of Health website.
Make sure your passport has at least six months' validity from your planned date of return to Australia and carry copies of a recent passport photo with you in case you need a replacement passport while overseas.
Safety and security
Terrorism is a threat throughout the world. You can find more information about this threat in our General advice to Australian travellers.
Civil unrest/political tension
Demonstrations and large public gatherings occur frequently and have the potential to turn violent. You should avoid all protests and demonstrations. In the past, protests and demonstrations have led to roadblocks and road closures which have caused severe traffic congestion. It is recommended that travellers do not attempt to cross roadblocks even if unattended. Monitor the media for developments and follow the advice of local authorities.
We advise you to exercise a high degree of caution in Paraguay due to the high level of crime. Pay close attention to your personal security and monitor the media for information about possible new safety and security risks.
Petty crime, such as pick-pocketing occurs regularly in major cities, particularly on public transport and in crowded areas frequented by foreigners. Remain vigilant in crowded public places and ensure that your belongings are secure at all times.
Incidents of violent crime, including armed assault, are increasing in Paraguay. Be particularly alert in tourist locations and downtown areas in Asunción, Ciudad del Este and Pedro Juan Caballero and avoid walking in these areas after dark.
Never leave food or drinks unattended as drink and food spiking may occur.
While travelling, don't carry too much cash and remember that expensive watches, jewellery and cameras may be tempting targets for thieves.
The telephone number in Asunción for emergency assistance is 911.
Money and valuables
Before you go, organise a variety of ways to access your money overseas, such as credit cards, travellers' cheques, cash, debit cards or cash cards. Australian currency and travellers' cheques are not accepted in many countries. Consult with your bank to find out whether your ATM card will work in Paraguay.
As a sensible precaution against luggage tampering, including theft, lock your luggage. Information on luggage safety is available from Australia's Civil Aviation Safety Authority.
Your passport is a valuable document that is attractive to criminals who may try to use your identity to commit crimes. It should always be kept in a safe place. You are required by Australian law to report a lost or stolen passport. If your passport is lost or stolen overseas, report it online or contact the nearest Australian Embassy, High Commission or Consulate as soon as possible.
You are required to pay an additional fee to have a lost or stolen passport replaced. In some cases, the Australian Government may also restrict the length of validity or type of replacement passports.
Local travel
Driving standards in Paraguay are poor and traffic can be disorganised. Exercise caution and common sense when travelling by motor vehicle. Many cars are poorly maintained and traffic regulations are routinely ignored. The network of surfaced roads in Paraguay is limited and can be of variable condition. Outside of major urban centres, other than major intercity highways, most roads remain unsurfaced and often become impassable during heavy rain. Driving at night in rural areas should be avoided if possible due to stray animals and vehicles without headlights.
Taxi and bus services can be a convenient mode of travel in urban centres, however, most do not meet Australian safety standards and do not have functioning seatbelts. Some taxis may appear to be official but are not registered with local authorities. There are reports of robbery of passengers in unregistered taxis. We recommend that travellers only use registered taxi companies. After dark, registered taxis should be booked by phone or at major hotels
Travellers planning to visit Iguazu Falls should read the travel advice for Brazil and Argentina and be aware of the visa requirements for these countries. You should apply for your visa to Brazil or Argentina well in advance of planned travel, as these processes can be time consuming. You should consult the nearest Embassy or Consulate of Brazil or Argentina for visa information. The Australian Government is unable to assist with the visa application process of other countries.
Additional care should be taken if you travel to the north-eastern provinces of Concepción, San Pedro, Amambay and Canindeyú, as illegal cross-border activities are common and occasionally become violent.
If hiking in remote areas, you should register your details with park authorities. Hikers should fully acquaint themselves with local natural hazards and conditions, including weather conditions.
Airline safety
Please refer to our air travel page for information on aviation safety and security.
When you are in Paraguay, be aware that local laws and penalties, including ones that might appear harsh by Australian standards, do apply to you. If you are arrested or jailed, the Australian Government will do what it can to help you but we can't get you out of trouble or out of jail.
Information on what Australian consular officers can and cannot do to help Australians in trouble overseas is available from the Consular Services Charter.
Penalties for the possession, use or trafficking of illegal drugs in Paraguay are severe and convicted offenders can expect long mandatory prison sentences and heavy fines.
There are strict regulations against the temporary import or export of items such as firearms, medications, toys resembling weapons and protected species. It is against the law to hunt animals or remove certain plant species from nature reserves.
Photographing airports, military establishments, police stations and government buildings is prohibited.
Some Australian criminal laws, such as those relating to money laundering, bribery of foreign public officials, terrorism, forced marriage, female genital mutilation, child pornography, and child sex tourism, apply to Australians overseas. Australians who commit these offences while overseas may be prosecuted in Australia.
Australian authorities are committed to combating sexual exploitation of children by Australians overseas. Australians may be prosecuted at home under Australian child sex tourism and child pornography laws. These laws provide severe penalties of up to 25 years' imprisonment for Australians who engage in child sexual exploitation while outside of Australia.
Dual nationals
Our Dual nationals page provides information.
We strongly recommend that you take out comprehensive travel insurance that will cover any overseas medical costs, including medical evacuation, before you depart. Confirm that your insurance covers you for the whole time you'll be away and check what circumstances and activities are not included in your policy. Remember, regardless of how healthy and fit you are, if you can't afford travel insurance, you can't afford to travel. The Australian Government will not pay for a traveller's medical expenses overseas or medical evacuation costs.
It is important to consider your physical and mental health before travelling overseas. We encourage you to consider having vaccinations before you travel. At least eight weeks before you depart, make an appointment with your doctor or travel clinic for a basic health check-up, and to discuss your travel plans and any implications for your health, particularly if you have an existing medical condition. The World Health Organization (WHO) provides information for travellers and our health page also provides useful information for travellers on staying healthy.
Medical care is adequate in Asunción but may be limited or unavailable in rural areas. Medical facilities will often expect immediate cash payment for services.
The WHO lists Paraguay as a country with a risk of yellow fever transmission. Yellow fever is a potentially fatal viral disease transmitted by mosquitoes which is preventable by vaccination. We strongly recommend that you are vaccinated against yellow fever before travelling to Paraguay. See the Entry and Exit section for important information about vaccination certificate requirements. For more information about yellow fever, see the Department of Health website.
Outbreaks of other insect-borne diseases (including malaria and dengue fever) are a risk to travellers to Paraguay. You should consult your doctor or travel clinic about prophylaxis against malaria and take measures to avoid mosquito and other insect bites, including using insect repellent at all times, wearing long, loose-fitting, light-coloured clothing, staying indoors whenever possible and ensuring your accommodation is mosquito proof. For further information on dengue fever see the World Health Organization's factsheet.
Water-borne, food-borne and other infectious diseases (including typhoid, hepatitis A and rabies) are prevalent. Consult your doctor or travel clinic about pre-departure vaccinations for typhoid, hepatitis A and rabies. In rural areas, we recommend you boil all drinking water or drink bottled water, avoid ice cubes and raw and undercooked food. Be aware that some water-borne diseases can be prevalent is fresh water courses. Seek medical advice if you have a fever or are suffering from diarrhoea.
HIV/AIDS is also a significant risk in Paraguay. You should exercise appropriate precautions if engaging in activities that expose you to risk of infection. You can find out more information at the World Health Organization website.

will keep this short and sweet. The drafting of Dylan Mcllrath was proof that Sather recognizes the need for a shutdown, physical, clear the crease type, stay at home defensemen. Obviously Mcllrath is not gonna contribute immediately, so for the short term sign Willie Mitchell to a 2 year deal worth 3.5 mil (1.75 per). This would be a perfect use of the new found money Sather will have after demoting Redden, and is much better use of the money that using it on a big name for a long term deal. Personally I say also sign one of Tanguy/Prospal/Demitra, but that is besides the point, onto Mitchell. He was a first pairing defensemen for Van before a concussion ended his season, but that could make him a bargain this offseason. Vancouver probably won't keep him after trading for Ballard from FLA, so he should make it to free agency. He would fill a need, and Ranger fans would love the way he plays. He should be cheap and could be a steal. I have heard Wash may be interested, but the concussion will likely keep the price low regardless. I would also love if Rozy could be dealt, as i think he could, to a team that loses out on a free agent defensemen, in fact i even think Lou may be interested for NJ, along with maybe Ottawa, and maybe Phoenix (cap hit wont bother them, and they have a need if they lose Michalek). Our Defense could look like this with Mitchell:
extra:Potter or Sauer
If Rozy is not dealt I am also still content with our D as i would just have Mcdonagh start the year in Hartford (if we get him signed) and go with:
In reality the lines are not too important anyway, as we know they change by the period, but i included them anyway for the sake of simplicity

Deputy Sheriff Cory Carlyle has
carried a new tool on his belt for a month.
As he clipped the new surveillance
camera onto his uniform Friday, he said, "I put it on my chest where I can get
a better angle when I'm recording somebody on a traffic stop."
He and two other deputies are testing
out the cameras for the Richmond County Sheriff's Office.
He says when the camera is recording it
gives the Sheriff's Office a way to see if see if complaints they've received
have any merit.
"You have people that say that
this deputy did this, this deputy did that and they just don't know that I'm
recording everything that's being said and going on," he said.
He says not only will the cameras
provide a way to check the legitimacy of complaints, they will also keep
deputies accountable.
"It makes you want to do the
right thing. You can't do anything wrong because if you do anything wrong, the
video is going to tell it. It's going to tell on you just as much as it's going
to tell on the violator, so you have to be professional the whole time,"
Carlyle, said.
The camera he's using now costs $800. By November the
Sheriff's Office will choose the camera that is the most cost-effective and
will start outfitting deputies with the cameras by January.

Alastair Hughes, Asia-Pacific chief executive officer of Jones Lang LaSalle Inc., comments about outlook for China and the region's property markets in an interview with Bloomberg Television.
"The Chinese government policy is to trail rises in residential property prices and it's been very successful. They've also tried to increase the supply and to reduce demand. It's worked. Prices have fallen across the board due to these controls.
"They've done what they intended to do, which is to take speculators off the market. At the moment, if you analyze all buyers of residential properties in China, 93 percent of them are buying for their own occupation, and only 7 percent are speculators.
"I'd be a little bit wary of the very high-end of residential markets in some of the key markets here in Asia, because you are betting against the government policy."

|Etymology: Scots glamour,
alteration of English grammar; from the popular association of
erudition with occult practices
1 : a magic spell <the girls appeared to be under a glamour -- Llewelyn Powys>
2 : an exciting and often illusory and romantic attractiveness; especially : alluring or fascinating personal attraction -- often used attributively <glamour stock> <glamour boy> <glamour girl>
Pretty simple right? The word glamour which has entered our lexicon to signify occult practices, a magic spell, or an exciting and often illusory and romantic attractiveness. But, it also signifies something else: namely the alluring or fascinating personal attraction.
But what do we think of when we think glamour? A look, a glamorous lifestyle, an 'attitude'…or a string of pearls with the little black dress? It's all of these things…glamour 'signifies' a look, a lifestyle, an attitude fused through fashion.
Even Leave it to Beaver's mother wore pearls whilst in the domestic kitchen in the 1950's.

Funny Dominick Cruz Reenactment Of Uriah Faber Awkward Moment On TUF 15 Live on FX Episode 3.
not even a bit funny…..
man cocain is one hell of a drug
thats f***** up
i like uriah but cruz is making him look stupid. cruz is totally confident in himself. seems like uriah is trying to hard to please everybody. skit was awesome.
nice butt chin hehe
lol now he's gonna lose.
Hilarious indeed
LMAO nice. Cruz has shown why he has Urijah's number on the show he is just way smarter. I feel the fight between them is over before it even started.
I love the sound quality. Nice effort…actually not really.
uriah makes himself look stupid. he's obviously not the sharpest tool in the shed.
I didn't knew Dana White has a hot potato in his mouth now.
Hilarious. That was a brilliant move of confidence by Cruz, caught Faber flatfooted and exposed his team. And the parody is funny because Faber takes himself a little too seriously.
Not a cruz fan at all and still found it to be funny.
Not funny, but it's true that moment was awekward put Urijah on the spot and he failed miserably… and in his corner no one wanting to step up. Darn that's a confidence killer for the whole team.
little heathen wins oscar, followed by fabers toes!
ahhh..man. he said alpha male? at the end
I thought that s*** was hilarious
and next week fabur wins….. now
pretty funny!!!
funny as man..lmao
LOL just like in the show. "who wants to scrap?" SILENCE thats embarrassing.
f****** classic!!! hahahah
Way too long. Couldve made the joke in a 30 sec clip. With that, not funny.
why are people saying this is funny? poor acting….and it wasnt even entertaining….go figure
Jeremy Stephens…lmao
cool man, nice try. It's not hilarious but it's kinda funny. Faber will lose again we'll move on. Bantam weight i a great division.
Please refund me the last 3 minutes of my life. Thanks!!
Missing the point…not meant to be the funniest sketch ever created. Its meant to remind everyone of the moment Cruz made Uriah look like a beta female, and his team look like a bunch of bitches.
"The shame is not in losing the battle………
if Mack would grow a sack, he would just ninja kick the s*** out of that Russian guy and jack him for both the cocaine and the oxy and f***** punch his head enough times that his homies don't even think about come lookin for the gang, then go sell that s***, use the money to save the bar and get surgery on his hands…..wtf…Dennis you're supposed to be his best friend. encourage him
This was great. Funny plus exposure for some other guys that always come to fight. Every guy in this skit is a killer.
Not funny at all. Actually can't stand this little punk, he thinks he's a lord. Fact of the matter is he's boring to watch fight. Dances around like a little bitch, and avoids a fight. 9 of his last 11 fights were won by decsision, go figure… Hope the CA kid takes his ass out, cocky little s***!
Nice shoulders by the way Cruz! haha- I think I had the same size when I was 7 lol
haha that was awesome~faber/cruz looking up at pearson/dana like fabers a 2 foot high midget lol
this was whack.
happens when you have alot of yes men around you who tell you that everything you do is funny and that you should do stuff because you think its a great idea.
Cruz looks dumber for doing this.
LMAO …. u gotta admit Faber got punked…. his team punked out big time.
I must say self proclaimed Alpha Male is a pretty lame because if you have to say it you ain't it, especially when they are all 5 foot tall.
not funny.to make fun of someones height is just about as ignorant and insecure as it gets.i hope faber destroys the dude.
It's always sunny!

Had a ton of fun designing a theme for my new Web Hosting Training site and loved the theme so much, I spent another few days porting it over to this site as well.
The old theme looked like this:
Although I liked the theme, after several months of looking at it, I felt it was a bit too dark, a little too much separation between the content sections, and the responsive features of the site just didn't work the way I wanted. The other issue I had was the amount of images the main page was loading.
After updating to this new theme, I decided to switch to Jetpack, the WordPress plugin developed by the same awesome people of the main WordPress platform. By doing this, I was able to eliminate over 5 separate plugins I was using here all the while adding features like statistics that I was missing.
This theme is based off of the Lifestyle Genesis theme. This theme was recently released by StudioPress on September 30th, and after looking at what they did with the theme, I knew it was the perfect fit for these sites. Which brings me to my next point, I highly recommend anyone who is interested in professional themes to buy the Genesis Pro Plus Package.
When I was first thinking of buying a premium theme, I thought about buying just the one theme I was interested in, however, after several months of being a Pro Plus owner, I'm glad I didn't. Tastes change, new themes are released, and you will likely want to change your theme to switch things up. With the Pro Plus package, you have the flexibility to switch between all of their themes, including newly released themes with HTML5 support.
Anyways, getting back to Jetpack, one of the best things I've found is the integration of Jetpack with Genesis. The two work so well together, even adding the possibility to have the sharebar on the top and bottom of each page. The best part, thanks to the StudioPress tutorials, you can even style the social buttons exactly how you want them.
New Enhancements Added
- Removal of social image icons and switched to Simple Social Icons with custom CSS styling.
- New featured hosts sidebar widget area that is fully compatible with responsive.
- New email subscription widget area.
- Restyled call to action buttons (all CSS3)
- Blog section switched from 150×150 featured images to 266×160 featured images. These look better on social networking sites.
- Completely reworked the footer section. The other template had this massive dark section for the footer that was jarring. Now the footer widgets stand on their own and the actual footer is tiny and out of the way.
The only issue I'm fighting with is my CSS3 plugin for tables. It adds so much code to my CSS file (at least 50% of the size currently), I'm considering ditching the entire system and finding something new. Anyone out there have any suggestions? What do you think of the new theme we're using?

As was discussed over Nico's, I'd like to see if there are any ANers down to make to roadie to Stockton to Daric Barton, Kurt Suzuki and the rest of the Stockton Ports play a home game.
I guess since there are those of us who are working a weekend day would work best. However, the Ports do have a promotion called Thirsty Thursdays, one dollar beer and sodas, but I think it's prudent to go on a weekend.
For all of us Bay Area ANers I could help organize carpools. I don't know about a tailgate, since if the food is cheaper at a minor league park then why taligate?
Please use this thread to voice opinions and if your're willing to head out to game with us.
If anybody has been to a Ports game, you words of widsdom about Stockton and their ballpark is most welcome.
If it is at all possible, maybe we can catch the game a next week on Saturday June 18th.
There's no real sense of urgency, I'm down to go whenever but I don't want to miss out on Suzuki or Barton if they're called up, and you can trust me that I won't organize a trip to Midland, Texas.
Most Saturday games in Stockton are 7:05 PM starts.
You can look at a Ports schedule here.

The weather on the South Plains is always changing., and it's unpredictable. That's exactly why theres a group that's been trying to control it with what they call cloud seeding. A rain enhancement program that injects clouds with Silver Iodide, but some say this rain maker is just a money waster.
"It's inconclusive, we're spending a lot of taxpayer dollars, a lot of money on this project that I feel has been detrimental to my farming operation and to a lot of other farmers," says dry land farmer, Jerry Sowder. Dozens of concerned farmers and experts gathered Wednesday to hash out the issue. Sowder was one of them.
Sowder says not only is the program not working but it's hurting his crop. He thinks it's thinning out the clouds and that's also thinning out his wallet. "Me being a dry land farmer, it's costing me some timely rainfall on our crops,"he says.
The issue of cloud seeding has become so controversial, that the program was temporarily suspended on August 9th. The very next day, Sowder's farm finally received rain, and it has rained five times since then.
Scotty Savage works with a New Mexico water agency that also experiments with cloud seeding. But, she says the program works, and thinks some rainfall is better than none. "We're so short of water in this part of the United States. I don't know how we can let emotions rule what we think," says Savage.
Regardless of what both sides believe, one Meteorologist says it's unreasonable to think anyone can fool mother nature. "If we can't really predict what a cloud can do now in advance, it's absurd to think we can go in there and make it do what we want to do," says Meteorologist Researcher, Dr. Charles Doswell.
50% of cloud seeding is funded by landowner taxes from water districts. The other half of the program is funded by the state through the texas department of agriculture.

Given the relative recent fortunes of the Major League's two circuits, one would expect National League teams to be ready to consult Dr. Phil.In the era of American League supremacy, the NL has to hear all about losing 11 straight All-Star Games, losing seven of the last 10 World Series (and 34 of the last 50 World Series games), losing Interleague Series, even losing marquee players. However, in at least one instance the NL can proudly step up to the plate. Or, rather, squat behind it: When it comes to the new generation of catchers, NL clubs are ahead of the curve. The art of receiving is at a transitional stage, dissolving from a decorated group of venerable catchers, whose hair is turning gray, to the new crop. While AL clubs are holding onto the past, the NL has already stepped into the future. In the AL, the position is star-studded, still headlined by a trio of 36-year-olds who have defined it for most of the last decade: Detroit's Ivan Rodriguez, the Yankees' Jorge Posada and Boston's Jason Varitek (who'll turn 36 within the first two weeks of the season). In the NL, the position is fuzzy-cheeked, featuring youngsters who have already made their marks and others about to be given the stage. The vanguards of the new wave are Atlanta's Brian McCann and the Dodgers' Russell Martin, two guys in their early 20s already with cases full of awards. In the NL, when a catcher turns 36 he is asked to mentor his successor -- as is Brad Ausmus in Houston, where 24-year-old J.R. Towles is expected to take over (as is Geovany Soto, 25, for the Cubs). In the AL, at 36 you get another four-year contract -- as did Posada from the Yankees. Yet it was entirely sensible for the Yankees to embrace and enrich Posada, who has always been indispensable and in 2007 became indescribable. At an age when catchers typically begin to decline, he authored a career season (his .338 average, 42 doubles and 171 hits were all personal highs). Most impressive in a peer sense, Posada's .426 on-base percentage was 44 points higher than the second-best figure among the league's regular catchers, Minnesota's Joe Mauer. Varitek's matching importance to the Red Sox is merely another feature of the fierce rivalry between the AL East rivals. He exemplifies the intangibles that typically make a catcher's value transcend the numbers, yet his importance to Boston's fortunes can actually be documented.
Remaining Schedule
• Catchers: NL holds future behind plate
• Corner IF: Cornering the market
• Middle IF: Winning starts up middle
• Outfield: Outfields mark change
• Rotation: Starters key to success
• Bullpen: Relievers are integral
• DH/Bench: Depth makes a difference
Blessed are the teams able to count on an undisputed No. 1. But becoming more prevalent are teams counting on catching tandems, hoping to exploit the individual assets of multiple receivers.These include the Mets (Ramon Castro and Brian Schneider) White Sox (A.J. Pierzynski and Toby Hall), D-backs (Chris Snyder and Miguel Montero), Phillies (Carlos Ruiz and Chris Coste), Angels (Mike Napoli and Jeff Mathis), Marlins (Mike Rabelo and Matt Treanor), Rangers (Gerald Laird and Jarrod Saltalamacchia) and Reds (David Ross and Javier Valentin). According to at least one insider, the trend is more indicative of quality depth than of a shortage. "If you look at the industry and the quality of catching at all levels -- big league, Minor League, amateur -- it's all over the place," Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said. "For us it's a strength. Some people may look at it as a logjam or that we have decisions to make. But I look at it as you can't have enough of a good thing." For every member of the new wave -- which will also include Kurt Suzuki in Oakland -- there is a veteran washing up on a new shore. Such as durable Jason Kendall, who is the only big league catcher to start 130-plus games each of the last five seasons and has moved to Milwaukee, and Paul Lo Duca, who after a frustrating free agency has landed in Washington. Turned away by the Mets and given only cursory looks by other teams, Lo Duca's ego may have suffered the same hits absorbed a year ago by Bengie Molina. Perhaps Lo Duca will discover that beating expectations, and the other teams, is the best revenge. Molina did -- finally taken in by the Giants, he muscled up for career highs of 19 homers and 81 RBIs, emerging as a middle-of-the-order candidate in their revamped 2008 lineup. Nationals GM Jim Bowden has seen Lo Duca "beat every team I've been with for years because, with the game on the line, he gives that at-bat. He wants to be there with the game on the line. He's a winner."

Does the English language cause a "division of words" that prevents us from gaining a full understanding of the things of God?
It's clear there are verses in the Bible that, despite our research, we can't understand. Even commentary from some of the greatest scholars doesn't seem to shed much light on these. So, we have to ask ourselves if these are passages that God did not intend for us to understand? Absolutely Not! In fact, there is only one place in Scripture that God tells us he has something but it's not to be shared at this point – you can find that in Revelation 10:4 "When the seven peals of thunder had spoken, I was about to write; and I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Seal up the things which the seven peals of thunder have spoken and do not write them.""
So why is it that we don't have full understanding of Scripture? Why are some things hidden from us? There are a few possible reasons:
- You're not a true believer (I pray this is not the case) – 1 Corinthians 2:14 says, "But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised."
- You haven't been taught to look for the "hidden treasures" in the Word of God.
- The English language causes a division of words that makes it difficult to fully understand the things of God.
If you're a Believer, it's likely a combination of the latter two. A trend that's been sweeping through churches is to: not offend, not challenge and not teach in areas that the pastor doesn't fully understand. Rather, most churches have become a social gathering; a place to drink bad coffee, chat with friends and listen to a "heart warming" message that lets you walk away feeling good about your relationship with Jesus.
But, this isn't God's desire for you. Hebrews 5:11-13 tells us that we have become dull of hearing and that, by now, we ought to be teachers; but instead, we have need to be taught because we've been partaking of milk which is for new (baby) believers. It goes on to say that we need to move on to solid food (mature believers), which gives us a greater understanding of God.
So, we know that God desires us to move from milk to solid food to gain greater knowledge of Him but can we do that using just our Bible or do we need to seek out experts? I recommend you stay away from "experts" and give God a chance to reveal his mysteries to you. As for your Bible, it will be invaluable, but you'll also need a copy of the Old Testament written in Biblical Hebrew and a copy of the New Testament in Greek. But, "wait", you say, "I can't read Greek or Hebrew and I don't see the value in it anyway."
Here's the problem as I see it. Both Greek and Hebrew have writing styles that differ greatly from our English translations. Granted, they all present the same exact message, reading Scripture in the language it was originally written will reveal what Isaiah 45:3 tells us are "treasures of darkness" and the "hidden wealth of secret places". So, gather up some friends, get a grade school level Hebrew and Greek language course and have fun.
Let's take Hebrew for example. Biblical Hebrew doesn't include verses or chapters and punctuation is pretty much non-existent, in fact, scribes used what the New Testament (Mat 5:18 KJV) calls "Jots" and "Tittles", which are Greek translations for the Hebrew words "Yod" and "Horn" – sort of. In English these would be the equivalent to dotting an "i" or crossing a "t". But really that's not even accurate.
Unlike English, Hebrew words have a literal and numerical value as does individual letters. So, a word can have a meaning but each letter within that word can have a meaning that adds revelation or understanding to the "whole" word.
A good example of this is the sign that was hung on the Cross above Jesus. In English it reads, "Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews". Pilate did this more to mock Jesus then he did because he believed in Jesus as a king. The sign was actually written in three languages: Greek, Latin and Hebrew. When read in Hebrew, the first letter of each word spelled - which is the name of God (Yahweh). The name reads from right to left and the Hebrew letters are: Yod, Hey, Vav, Hey. Without knowing it, Pilate called out the destiny of Jesus.
Are you starting to understand the importance of reading or at least researching Scripture in the original languages? There are hidden meanings with much of God's Word and it's our duty (and privilege) to seek those out and for that, he offers tremendous blessings, an increase of faith and a boldness forged out of love.
I'd like to close with a saying that the Jewish rabbis have stood by for years – it goes like this: "No one will have full understanding of the Scriptures until the Messiah comes. But when He does, He'll not only interpret each of the passages, He'll also interpret the very words. More importantly, He'll even interpret the very letters and spaces between the letters."
Thankfully, Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) has come and one of the many gifts He brought, apart from salvation, is the spaces between the letters, the "hidden treasures" that afford us a closer, more intimate relationship with Him.
I'd like to challenge you to broaden your knowledge and remove the division of words that keeps you from seeing that God is truly in the details. Drop us a comment below and let us know what God has revealed to you.

Albany - A night club was shut down after undercover police found strippers inside the bar. Tuesday, city commissioners suspended the business license of The Karate Club Sports Bar on Sylvester Road.
Owner Frank Frazier must shut down until December 30st. Police caught strippers at the bar which doesn't have an adult entertainment license.
Also, commissioners reprimanded Club Insomnia after a bottle of alcohol was found in the club. The new owner doesn't have an alcohol license. "There was one occasion some months ago where one bottle of liquor was found. It certainly was not established that my client or his people even knew about its existence or consumption. We don't think anything more than a reprimand was in order and certainly not a suspension," said Attorney Stephen Kaplan.
Police periodically search night clubs to stop license violations and underage drinking.

Cecil Cooper
Once described by Baseball Digest as the "Rodney Dangerfield of baseball", Cecil Cooper was a great player who didn't get the respect he deserved. An introverted Texan, Cecil Cooper remained in the shadows for much of his 17-year playing career. The left-handed first baseman spent his major league years with Boston and Milwaukee from 1971 to 1987, appearing in two World Series. "Coooop!" -- as his fans would cheer when he stepped up to the plate -- was a lifetime .298 hitter, two-time Gold Glove Winner, and five-time All-Star.
Cecil Cooper was born on December 20, 1949, in Brenham, Texas, a city with a population of 13,000 and located 70 miles northwest of Houston. Raised in nearby Independence, Cooper was the youngest of 13 children, seven boys and six girls. Cooper's mother Ocie died when he was just 10. His ball-playing father, Roy, worked with a nearby Department of Public Works. A 6'2 left-hander, Cecil was taught baseball by his brothers John, Sylvester, and Jessie. John and Sylvester later played with the barnstorming Indianapolis Clowns of the Negro Leagues.* John as a pitcher while Sylvester was a catcher who according to Cecil once caught Satchel Paige According to a 1980 Sports Illustrated story, father Roy also played in the Negro Leagues.
Cooper followed his brothers, playing ball for three years at the all-black Pickard High School, transferring his senior year to the integrated Brenham High School. At Pickard High, he won two state championships under coach Henry Rogers. Intending to go to college after his graduation, Cecil was spotted by Boston Red Sox scout Dave Philly and was drafted in the sixth round of the 1968 amateur draft by the Red Sox. He opted to take courses at Blinn Junior College and Prairie View A&M during the off-season. Taken in the Rule 5 draft by the St. Louis Cardinals in November 1970, St. Louis returned Cooper to the Red Sox on April 5, 1971. He spent most of five full seasons in the minor leagues (in Jamestown, Greenville, Danville, Winston-Salem, Louisville, and Pawtucket), hitting .327 with 45 home runs and 304 RBIs.
Cooper made his major league debut with the Red Sox on September 8, 1971, pinch-hitting for Roger Moret and grounding to second against Yankee pitcher Jack Aker. He got his first hit three days later, a pinch single off the Tigers' Joe Coleman. He hit .310 in 42 at bats that month. Having hit .343 for Double-A Pawtucket that season, it was thought that he had a shot at the starting job the next season.
Just prior to the start of the 1972 season, the Red Sox acquired Danny Cater from the Yankees and sent Cooper to Triple-A Louisville. Another fine campaign in the minors produced a .315 average, thanks to a league-leading 162 hits, Cooper returned to Boston in September, but garnered just four hits in 17 trips during the tight pennant race.
Despite the failure of Cater, Cooper again failed to stick with the parent club in 1973, as the team elected to move Carl Yastrzemski back to first base to fill the hole. Cecil was sent to Pawtucket, now the Triple-A affiliate, where he hit .293 with 15 home runs. This time he was recalled before the rosters expanded, first playing on August 24 and playing nearly full-time the rest of the season. In 30 games and 101 at-bats, Cooper hit .238 with his first three major league home runs. His first round tripper was struck on September 7 at Fenway Park, off the Tigers' Bob Miller.
In 1974, Cooper was the team's opening day first baseman, hitting third in the lineup. New manager Darrell Johnson used a lot of lineups, trying to divide playing time at first base, left field, and designated hitter amongst Cooper, Yastrzemski, Cater, Tommy Harper, and Bernie Carbo. Cooper ended up playing 74 games at first and 41 more at designated hitter, getting most of the starts when facing right handed pitchers. He hit .275 in 414 at-bats.
Cooper did not have a good defensive reputation early in his career, which is why he spent a lot of time as a designated hitter. For 1975, the Red Sox had two new rookie outfielders (Jim Rice and Fred Lynn), plus the comebacking Tony Conigliaro, who initially won the DH job. The team had an awful lot of people to beat out and get a chance to play. At the end of May, Cooper was the odd man out, getting just six hits in 24 at-bats. He persevered, and by late June he was playing against all right-handed pitchers. He ended up hitting .311 with 14 home runs in 305 at-bats.
One of the team's hottest hitters in August and September, Cecil had a scary moment on September 7. The Red Sox were playing the second game of a doubleheader against the Milwaukee Brewers, when he was hit in the face by future teammate Bill Travers. Cecil had to be carried off on a stretcher and was bleeding from his nose and mouth. The incident hampered his performance the rest of the season. With Jim Rice's injury requiring Carl Yastrzemski to play left field, Cooper had first base to himself for most of the post-season. He was 4-for-10 in the playoffs but just 1-for-19 in the World Series.
Appearing in 123 games the following season, again splitting time between first base and designated hitter, Cooper hit a solid .282 with 15 homers and 78 RBI. After the 1976 season, manager Don Zimmer told Cooper told that he would become Boston's regular starting first baseman. This was not to be the case, as on December 6, 1976,- Cooper was sent to the Milwaukee Brewers for two former Red Sox first baseman George Scott and outfielder Bernie Carbo.
The trade was not particularly popular in either Boston or Milwaukee. In fact, Brewers owner Bud Selig was told by other AL East clubs that if you "keep making trades like that you will be in last place forever." In 1976, the Brewers finished dead last in their division with a record of 66-95. The extremely popular Scott had first played in a Red Sox uniform from 1966 to 1971 and had posted several good seasons for the Brewers. Alas, neither Scott nor Carbo ever again had the kind of success they had achieved in earlier seasons. Cecil Cooper would become a legend in Milwaukee.
Cooper was a clutch contact hitter who could hit for both average and power. He kept putting up such solidly consistent numbers year after year that it was easy to overlook his achievements. In his first year in Milwaukee he hit .300, in his second year he hit .312, and in 1979 Cooper hit .308. Also in 1979, Cecil had a league-leading 44 doubles. Former Milwaukee player-coach Sal Bando once said of him, "Cecil Cooper can beat you with a home run or a flare to left or a bunt. And he can field his position. You have guys who can hit home runs and guys who can hit singles. But not many can do both. Cecil can."
Playing for a smaller market team in the Midwest allowed Cooper to thrive, and in 1980 he did just that. He hit better than .300 in every month of the season finishing with a remarkable .352 average, 25 home runs, 219 hits, and an American League-leading 122 RBI. His season was largely overlooked because Royals third baseman by George Brett flirted with a .400 batting average, setting for.390. The unassuming Cooper said, "With Brett hitting close to .400 all year, I didn't expect to get much publicity, and I didn't have any trouble living with that."
Coop was also part of a record game in 1980. On April 12, in an 18-1 Brewer rout of the Red Sox, he and infielder/DH Don Money connected for two grand slams in the same inning. This marked only the fourth time in major league history this feat has ever been accomplished. (There have been two since, most recently in 1999, when Fernando Tatis of the St. Cardinals hit two grand slams himself in one inning). In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the Brewers franchise was moving up in the standings finishing with 93 wins in 1978 and 95 wins in 1979. In 1981, in a strike-shortened split season, the New York Yankees won the first half in the AL East while the Milwaukee Brewers finished first in the second half. This set the stage for a best-of-five game divisional playoff between the two clubs. Although the Yankees won the series in five games, it was the following year that the Brewers had the best season in franchise history. Cooper hit .320 with 12 home runs in the abbreviated campaign.
In 1982, first baseman Cooper was at the heart of the one of the era's great lineups, batting third behind Paul Molitor and Robin Yount, and in front of Ted Simmons, Gorman Thomas, and Charlie Moore. Cooper hit .313, with 32 home runs and 121 runs batted in. On October 3, 1982, in a game deciding the American League East championship, the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Baltimore Orioles 10-2, closing out the season with a mark of 95-67. Their opponent in the ALCS was the western division champion California Angels.
The Brewers reached their first (and so far only) World Series as they eliminated the Angels in five games, becoming the first team in major league history to come back from a two-games-to-none deficit and win a best-of-five postseason series. In the decisive Game Five, Jim Gantner and Charlie Moore scored on Cooper's seventh-inning bases-loaded single. In a gesture reminiscent of former teammate Carlton Fisk, who waved his arms to keep the ball fair in Game Six of the '75 Series, Cooper was motioning for the ball to get down. "I remember thinking, 'get down ball, get down.' The crowd was so loud I couldn't really hear myself saying anything, but I just wanted to keep waving so that ball would fall in there." Overall he hit just 3-for-20 in the series.
The 1982 World Series was called the "Suds Series" because it pitted the two of America's largest beer cities against each other: Milwaukee and St. Louis. The National League champion St. Louis Cardinals featured first baseman Keith Hernandez and future Hall of Fame shortstop Ozzie Smith. Cecil homered in a losing effort in Game Three, and his 8-for-28 record was not enough, as his team lost a seven-game series.
After the 1982 season, Cooper's teammate Robin Yount won the American League MVP award, and just as in 1980 when he lost to George Brett, Cecil finished fifth in the voting. Yount hit .331 with 29 home runs and 114 RBI. "Maybe, I'm the Lou Gehrig of my time", says Cooper "... always in the shadows of someone else. He's a pretty good role model, though."
While in Milwaukee, Cecil wrote a column for the Brewers' magazine, What's Brewing? He wrote everything from his baseball experiences as a hitter and a first baseman to how kids could get autographs from their favorite players. In 1983, Cooper won baseball's coveted "Roberto Clemente" award for his community service. Since 1970, the award has been given to players for their humanitarian service and initiatives. Cecil worked with Athletes for Youth, a Milwaukee-based inner city program teaching children about baseball, and was honorary chairman of both the Kidney Foundation of Wisconsin and the 1982 Food for Families Project. Bud Selig said of Cooper, "I think Cecil does a lot more than any of us know. Cecil is shy. What he does, he prefers to do in anonymity."
Following his retirement in 1987, Coop became a player agent for CSMG International until 1996. He then worked as farm director for the Brewers as well as a scout. In 2002, Cooper returned to the dugout as bench coach for Milwaukee and got a chance to manage in the minor leagues for the Brewers' Triple-A affiliate Indianapolis Indians. In two seasons, he posted a 130-156 record. In 2005, he took advantage of the opportunity to return to his native Texas where he currently serves as the bench coach for the Houston Astros.
As of 2005, Cooper holds the Brewers single season records in hits (219 in 1980) and RBIs (126 in 1983). As a Brewer, he was ranked third all-time in batting (.302), hits (1,815), doubles (345), and home runs (201). He was second in RBIs with 994. In his hometown of Brenham, Cecil had a field dedicated in his honor and a number retired at Brenham High School. In 2002, he was inducted into the Miller Park Walk of Fame. He lives in Katy, Texas with his wife Octavia and has three daughters: Kelly (born 2/28/78), Brittany (born 12/17/87), and Tori (born 11/1/93).

The Essential Man: Coffee Talk with Andrew Chen of 3sixteen/Self-Edge/Chapters & Verse Agency
Did you know that coffee is attributed to the Age of Enlightenment?
Before coffee was widely distributed, the drink of choice was alcohol. Water was not safe to drink. Commoners and royalty alike would drink beer for breakfast and lunch, wine for dinner and finish the day with gin. Basically, people were drunk all the time.
In 1650, England's first coffeehouse opened after coffee was imported from the East. Moving from a depressant to a stimulant saw a rise in intellectual ideas and creativity. Coffeehouses were seen as the meeting place for progressive thinkers.
So I wasn't surprised how many of my friends in the creative field are coffee lovers. In this new series, I sit down with them and discuss their love for coffee, get them to tell me their daily coffee routine and share a cup or two of the thinking man's drink.
