THE diocesan synods of Liverpool, Newcastle, Oxford, Portsmouth, Southwark, and York debated the draft legislation on women bishops on Saturday, and all six backed it in all three houses.
But York diocesan synod went on to carry a following motion: "This Synod calls upon the House of Bishops, in exercise of its powers under Standing Order 60(b), to amend the draft Bishops and Priests (Consecration and Ordination of Women) Measure in the manner proposed by the Archbishops of Canterbury and York at the Revision Stage for the draft Measure." This was carried by 62 to 24, with six abstentions.
In total, 42 out of the 44 dioceses have voted in favour of the legislation. London and Chichester voted against...

I agree with you, Pageantmaster. I mean, it wasn't like the Risen Christ first revealed His Resurrection to a woman or anything. I don't believe that male genitalia are required for the episcopacy. If I believed that and could overlook the Cult of Mary plus some other oddities/atrocities, I'd still be RC.
Nope, gender should neither exclude nor commend, and I wish that we as a Church could focus our attention on preaching and teaching the Good News. That's far more important, and these squabbles detract from that. There's the Ordinariate for those who are outraged and fixated on the gender of bishops, and please God that the doors be gentle on their behinds on the way out. Sorry, but I just wish we could move on and get on with Christ's work. Catechesis is woefully lacking in many places and, yeah, the bishop chaps haven't done a great job.

Well, that's your opinion. St. Paul, St. Peter,...disagree with you. Gene Robinson agrees with you.
As I said, evidence abounds that female bishops can't keep heresy out of the church. Give me one example of a denomination that hasn't become awash in heresy with female episcopacy.
The emasculated churches don't talk about Christian apologetics just feelings. The emasculated churches can't attract people. As I said, the CoE is voting for their own demise. It will not survive women bishops. That's just harsh reality.November 19, 5:47 am | [comment link]

#10 - I'm assuming #6 says oxymoron, because given the definition of the words, no woman could be an "orthodox" priest.

A woman priest can be "orthodox" within whichever Christian group she is a part of vis-a-vis that group's understanding of the Bible, but she can't be "orthodox" in the greater church's understanding.

News: Dirty Money Member Says Diddy Hung Up The Towel: "He Didn't Want To Do It Anymore"
Monday, Dec 10, 2012 6:00PM
Dirty Money's Dawn Richard recently discussed her run on Diddy's Bad Boy Records and why the rap mogul's disinterest in continuing working as a group motivated her new solo career.
According to Richard, she asked to leave Bad Boy after Puff fell back on Dirty Money.
"Well, Puff was done. He didn't want to do it anymore, and I couldn't sit back and wait around to see what was going to happen next. So instead of waiting, I asked could I be released from my contract, and he was gracious enough to let that happen. I gave him six years of my life, and now I'm just excited about this next phase. Like I said before, every moment up until this point was just getting me ready to step out on my own." (Rolling Out)
Prior to splitting up, former member Kalenna hit up SOHH and discussed their chemistry.
"I just believe that we were in an embryonic state when we started Dirty Money," Kalenna explained to SOHH. "And that's just in a whole, because in this industry you continue to grow until you're really old and being with Puff, it's like we were shot up with steroids. He put us in his boot camp and it was so crazy because we knew things before but with producing the record, writing the lyrics, how to go deeper in your mind and your soul, pulling those things out and making them more vulnerable and exposed to people were all learned. I just think at this point he's created two monsters and we're able to go out and be with other people or be able to be seen apart and still represent who we are as Dirty Money. And I thought that was just genius, as far as our spirituality, leaning and depending on God a lot more. As a group, Dawn could be on the side of the stage and she can wink her right eye and I can wink my left and it's so epic. We're just so in-tune and of course with Puff, he loves the energy. He loves the Yin and the Yang. We're real strong and vice versa." (SOHH)
In September 2010, Diddy discussed what made up the Dirty Money brand.
"Being in Dirty Money is another level or sense of security. It's another level of fun and enjoyment and you feel like somebody has your back. I've always had more success playing on a team anyway...It's been great to be a solo artist, but some people play better on a team. I know I play my position with these girls and it's great to be able to expose the world to the group and the future talent of the music industry. They are the future and this has been an incredible ride." (Daily Record)
Dawn, also a former member of singing group Danity Kane, previously revealed how the group formed.
"My call with Diddy went like this: 'So yeah, baby girl look, I feel like you...met Kalenna...I think it would be good if you would be in my group. I know how you feel about it I didn't know how you feel about being in a group with another chick. We could do your solo project or we could do this group thing.' It was 7 months since Danity Kane ended. I love what I'm hearing with his new music. I wanted to be part of the bigger picture." (VIBE)

Seems I always have a casual fan or two near me at the game. Pretty much everyone in our row is a regular, but we always get treated to someone new every week in the seats behind us. Since the letters to the casual fan were such fun, I thought you may enjoy these. If you experienced the joy of a casual fan yesterday, please share. I must note that although casual, these fans were on time, cheered their little hearts out and were happy to be there, Even though they left in the beginning of the fourth (to "beat traffic", I assume).
- I LOVE THIS SONG! (Rock and Roll part 2)
- I'm glad Joe Paterno is here, didn't he break his leg last year?
- Which one is Joe Paterno (casual fan's wife)
- Remember that last time we came to a game? Was that five years ago, that was fun!
- Who is Graham Zug? (No Joke, they really said that)
- Cool! Livin on a Prayer!
- Wooley Bully makes me want to get up and dance (casual fan's friends wife. Full on dancing and singing to SHOUT also commenced)
- Who is the back up QB?
- Do we play Notre Dame this year?
In all seriousness, these folks had a great time and loved everything about the game, music and all. so even though I know RR was dying a slow death by Bon Jovi, four people from New Jersey had an awesome time yesterday, despite not knowing anyone on the roster

Cortese stays at Southampton
Southampton Football Club's Chairman Nicola Cortese and its owner Katharina Liebherr have announced their commitment to its future. It follows speculation that Southampton boss Mauricio Pochettino would be leaving the club if Nicola Cortese quit.
The Argentine manager was recruited by Cortese in January. But there were rumours this week Cortese could be on his way out amid differences over the way key decisions are made within the club.
– Nicola Cortese - Southampton Chairman
"We are now in a position to move forward with our ambitious plans for the Club and I would like to thank Katharina for the very helpful manner in which she approached our talks about long term strategy. This matter is now resolved. "We can now focus 100% on our preparations for next season. The last few days have shown me the unity that we now have across the Club in the players, the First Team Manager, the staff and the Chairmanship. I have always believed that to create this unity would make us a very strong Club and it is one of which I am unashamedly proud. "

Several people in Kanawha City have reported that a man dressed as a coal miner has stood on 35th Street, asking for money, every day for the past two weeks.
We found Brandon McKnight outside the Taco Bell in Kanawha City. McKnight claimed he was laid off two weeks ago from Speed Mining near Cabin Creek.
McKnight presented an identification card for proof of his former profession, but people say they've seen him in Kanawha City for almost three weeks.
"There's a bunch of them," said James Dahl, who has been working on a construction project at Taco Bell for the past three weeks. "You see him all over. He's got different new hats every day. It's weird. Where would you get that stuff?"
Dahl added that McKnight works with a crew consisting of two to three panhandlers that travels throughout Kanawha City, asking people for money.
"It's not right, at all," Dahl said. "It's ridiculous."
Technically, asking for change on the street isn't illegal. But a Charleston city ordinance forbids unrestricted and unauthorized begging on the streets or in public. And impersonating another person while begging could create extra charges in an arrest, according to Lt. Steve Cooper, with Charleston Police.
"Many panhandlers are able bodied and they choose not to work," Cooper said. "And they brag and say how much money they make."
McKnight said he makes $50 to $100 per day. That means if he stood in his same place every day for a year, he would make $36,500.
"It's not coal mining money," said McKnight, who lives in Boone County. "But it's more money than working at McDonalds."
Before a 13News reporter asked him whether he collected unemployment, McKnight ran across the street to speak with another man who claimed he was offering McKnight work. Dahl and other construction workers said McKnight works with those associates to panhandle cash.
"Panhandlers are not out-of-work citizens," Cooper said. "They hold signs that claim that they are, but generally that's a scam.
McKnight has short, dark brown hair, weighs approximately 140-160 pounds., and appears to be in his mid-to-late 20s.

A fifth-inning meltdown from Aaron Cook cost the Red Sox a 7-5 defeat to the Detroit Tigers, ending their winning streak after four games.
Like us to subscribe
Josh Beckett left Tuesday night's game against the Detroit Tigers in the third inning with a back injury, all while being booed by the Fenway Park crowd. Did the Boston media play a role in the booing of Beckett?
A fifth-inning meltdown from Aaron Cook cost the Red Sox their winning streak, as the Detroit Tigers dodged a sweep with a 7-5 victory.
The Red Sox grabbed an early lead off the Tigers thanks to some good luck in the first, as Jacoby Ellsbury led off with a double off the first base bag. Cody Ross would end up singling him home with two outs to make it 1-0 in the first.
For three innings, Aaron Cook was capable of shutting down the Detroit lineup. Eight ground balls went for just one hit, helping him into the fourth without a run on the board. A leadoff plunking of Quintin Berry would cost the Sox the lead in the next frame, but it wasn't till the fifth everything would fall apart.
A pair of leadoff singles and a bunt put two men in scoring position for Jackson, who sent a hit into left to make it 2-1 in favor of the Tigers. A ground ball out would score the other RISP, but the real pain would come from the power hitters, as Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder each went deep to leave it at 6-1.
The Sox managed to claw their way back into the game in the sixth, scoring three times after a trio of leadoff singles from Dustin Pedroia, Adrian Gonzalez, and Cody Ross set the table. Jarrod Saltalamacchia would seriously damage the rally with a run-scoring double play, but singles from Will Middlebrooks and Pedro Ciriaco helped to push two more across, leaving it at 6-4.
Carl Crawford would get the Sox back within one when he led off the seventh with a solo shot into the bullpen in right, but Delmon Young responded in kind to start the eighth, wrapping a homer around Pesky's Pole to make it 7-5. The Red Sox went 1-2-3 in the ninth, snapping their winning streak at four.
The Red Sox are out for the sweep Wednesday night as they send Aaron Cook to the mound against Rick Porcello.
We'll keep you up-to-date on all the action as it goes down in Fenway Park.
TIgers 7, Red Sox 5, Mid 9th -- Junichi Tazawa holds down the fort to give the Sox a chance, but they'll need at least two in the ninth.
Tigers 7, Red Sox 5, End 8th -- The Sox go down in order in the 8th, leaving them three outs away from the end of their winning streak.
Tigers 7, Red Sox 5, Mid 8th -- And immediately the Tigers get their run back, with Delmon Young wrapping a homer ust barely around Pesky's Pole in right to make it a two-run game again.
Tigers 6, Red Sox 5, End 7th -- Carl Crawford leads off the inning with a solo blast to right field, leaving the Sox behind by just the one run with six outs to get it back.
Tigers 6, Red Sox 4, Mid 7th -- A leadoff walk offered up by Mark Melancon to Austin Jackson doesn't end up hurting the Red Sox, as Melancon retires the next two before Andrew Miller enters to retire Prince Fielder, swinging at three straight sliders.
Tigers 6, Red Sox 4, End 6th -- And the Red Sox are back in the game in a hurry. The Red Sox respond to the pair of leadoff singles with three of their own, off the bats of Dustin Pedroia, Adrian Gonzalez, and Cody Ross. Jarrod Saltalamacchia does a good job of killing the rally with a double play, bringing in just the one run, but Will Middlebrooks singles home another, and Pedro Ciriaco finds a hole in the infield to make it 6-4 on five singles and a walk.
Tigers 6, Red Sox 1, Mid 6th -- Craig Breslow gives up a single in his first full inning with the Red Sox, but only the one, holding the Tigers to their six runs through six.
Tigers 6, Red Sox 1, End 5th -- A single and a walk put two on for the Red Sox with one out, but the threat is ended by a double play, leaving them stuck well behind in the fifth.
Tigers 6, Red Sox 1, Mid 5th -- And Aaron Cook falls completely to pieces in the fifth. A pair of leadoff singles and a bunt put two in scoring position for Austin Jackson, who singled to left to bring one in and put runners on the corner. A ground ball would bring another run in while bringing the second out of the inning, but up came the power hitters, and out went a pair of homers, leaving the Red Sox down big after five.
Red Sox 1, Tigers 1, End 4th -- Adrian Gonzalez leads off with a single, but then the Sox go down in order to leave them stuck in the 1-1 tie after four.
Red Sox 1, Tigers 1, Mid 4th -- A bit of a messy inning costs the Red Sox their lead. Aaron Cook hits Quintin Berry in the leadoff spot, and while he manages to pick him off of first and get a fly ball out from Miguel Cabrera, Prince Fielder hit a double off the wall, and Brennan Boesch manages to squeeze a ground ball past Dustin Pedroia and into center field to tie the game up. Only a great over-the-shoulder catch from Jacoby Ellsbury, who went sliding into the wall of the triangle, kept a go-ahead run out.
Red Sox 1, Tigers 0, End 3rd -- Porcello gets two ground balls and a strikeout, leaving the Red Sox with seven straight batters retired since Ross' RBI single in the first.
Red Sox 1, Tigers 0, Mid 3rd -- Two more ground balls get Cook through the third inning, with the second coming after a single and going for an inning-ending double play.
Red Sox 1, Tigers 0, End 2nd -- Rick Porcello bounces back in style, striking out the side on 13 pitches.
Red Sox 1, Tigers 0, Mid 2nd -- Alex Avila manages the first fly ball of the game against Aaron Cook, but it goes for the third out of the inning, leaving the Tigers scoreless through two.
Red Sox 1, Tigers 0, End 1st -- The Red Sox get on top early thanks in part to a lucky break. Jacoby Ellsbury is the recipient of the good fortune, moving to second on a ground ball that bounced off the first base bag and well over a diving Prince Fielder. While Crawford and Pedroia would go down on a strikeout and fly ball respectively, Adrian Gonzalez drew a walk and brought Cody Ross to the plate. Getting ahead 2-1, Ross got a fastball up in the zone and dumped it into right field for the RBI single.
Red Sox 0, Tigers 0, Mid 1st -- Aaron Cook has an almost ideal Aaron Cook inning. The "almost" comes from the fact that one of his ground balls found a hole and went for a base hit, but given that it was one of four in the inning and the other three went for outs, we won't complain too loudly.
The Red Sox are after their fifth straight win and a sweep of the Detroit Tigers as they send Aaron Cook to the mound against Rick Porcello. First pitch is at 7:10 p.m. with broadcasts on NESN, ESPN, and WEEI.
Ryan Kalish will make his way back into the Red Sox linuep after the injury to Ryan Sweeney opened up a space for his return to the major leagues. While Kalish struggled heavily in his initial stint with the 2012 team, Kalish has been excellent since he went back down to Pawtucket, hitting .307/.388/.533 in 75 at bats. Kalish will bat eighth, playing right field as Cody Ross takes over as the DH.
The odd-man out on the night will be Kelly Shoppach, as the Sox get back to a more normal lineup which does not feature both catchers. That'll make things a lot safer for them in case of injury.

A fourth-inning rally paved the way as the Red Sox got to Justin Verlander for four runs, taking a rain-shortened 4-1 victory over the Tigers.
While the Red Sox wouldn't sway the game in their favor until the fourth inning, they certainly got off to an encouraging start. Josh Beckett retired the side 1-2-3 in the first, and in the bottom half of the inning the lineup made Justin Verlander work for his outs. A line drive from Jacoby Ellsbury would give the Red Sox a leadoff single, and while Verlander managed to retire both Carl Crawford and Dustin Pedroia, some close calls going against him would lead to walks for both Adrian Gonzalez and Cody Ross, loading the bases before Jarrod Saltalamacchia struck out to end the threat.
Beckett would retire the side in order again in the second, and then quickly recorded two outs in the third before everything suddenly fell apart. An inconspicuous infield single from Omar Infante would prove the catalyst, extending the inning long enough for Beckett to hit Austin Jackson, and then walk both Quintin Berry and Miguel Cabrera to bring in a run. Immediately after the last walk Beckett signaled to the dugout for trainers, and then left the game with back spasms.
Clayton Mortensen would enter the game in place of Beckett, recording what was quite possible the most pivotal out of the game on a Prince Fielder fly ball to center field. The Sox were out of the jam with just one run against them, but with the rain coming down harder by the minute, and not expected to stop until late in the night, it was becoming clear they may not have many opportunities to tie it.
Luckily, the Sox needed only the fourth. Leadoff singles from Cody Ross and Jarrod Saltalamacchia started the rally, and while Will Middlebrooks would strike out going in search of a homer, a walk to Kelly Shoppach would load the bases for Pedro Ciriaco. Once again called on in a big moment, Ciriaco came through, lining a single through the right side of the infield to plate one run and reload the bases for Jacoby Ellsbury, who brought in another by drawing a walk. Carl Crawford would cap off the attack, bouncing a high chopper over the head of Justin Verlander and under the hand of Omar Infante, trying to catch Crawford by barehanding the ball. Crawford reaced, two runs scored, and the Sox took a 4-1 lead.
Ultimately things would get tense right before the anti-climactic conclusion. With one out and one on, Franklin Morales took over for Clayton Mortensen in the sixth and, after recording a ground out, loaded the bases to bring the go-ahead run to the plate. That was when the umps called for the tarp. With no end to the rain in sight after two hours, the game was called and the Sox took their fourth straight win.

Josh Beckett left Tuesday's game between the Boston Red Sox and the Detroit Tigers in the third inning with a back spasm. Beckett had just walked Miguel Cabrera with the bases load to force a run giving the Tigers a 1-0 lead when he signaled to training staff to come to the mound. He shook his head as staff approached.
Beckett pitched just 2 2/3 innings. The shortened stint included one hit given up and two walks for one earned run against. In the third, Omar Infante got on base with an infield single, then Beckett loaded the bases by hitting Austin Jackson with a pitch and walking Quintin Berry.
Clayton Mortensen relieved Beckett. He has held the Tigers without a run since taking the mound, walking two with a strikeout. The Red Sox currently lead 4-1 in the bottom of the fifth inning.

The Red Sox are after their fourth straight victory and a series win over the Tigers Tuesday night as they take on Justin Verlander.
We'll keep you up-to-date on all the action as it goes down in Fenway Park.
Red Sox 4, Tigers 1, End 5th -- For now, though, it seems as though the show will go on. Justin Verlander bounces back in the bottom of the fifth, striking out two Cody Ross and Jarrod Saltalamacchia in a 1-2-3 frame.
Red Sox 4, Tigers 1, Mid 5th -- We've got an official game now, as Clayton Mortensen retires the side with the help of a great throw from Kelly Shoppach and tag by Pedro Ciriaco helping to erase a leadoff single up the middle as Austin Jackson was caught attempting to steal second.
Red Sox 4, Tigers 1, End 4th -- And once again, Justin Verlander falls victim to the big inning on cue.
With the rain threatening an early end to this game, the Sox needed to score in a hurry, and score they did. Back-to-back line drives off the bats of Cody Ross and Jarrod Saltalamacchia got the Red Sox off to a great start before Will Middlebrooks struck out, seemingly looking to score three with one big swing. A full-count fastball to Kelly Shoppach didn't catch the zone, however, loading the bases, and up came Pedro Ciriaco. Just one game removed from two big game-winning (if defense-aided) hits against the Yankees, Ciriaco caught a 97 MPH fastball over the plate, and lined it into right field to tie the game and reload the bases.
The next two batters would not have to do nearly so well for their RBI. A five-pitch walk to Jacoby Ellsbury would put the Red Sox up 2-1, and while Carl Crawford barely managed to put the ball in play, his high chopper got over Justin Verlander's head, and Omar Infante could not make the run-saving play, letting Crawford reach and bringing two more runs in to score. Dustin Pedroia ended the inning with a double play, but the damage has been done.
Tigers 1, Red Sox 0, Mid 4th -- As the rain starts to come down even harder, the Sox survive some more spotty control, with Clayton Mortensen working around a pair of one-out walks to get to the bottom of the fourth. It's possible, with the weather being what it is, that the Sox will have just two innings left to score a run.
Tigers 1, Red Sox 0, End 3rd -- The long wait does not seem to have phased Justin Verlander in the least, with Carl Crawford's long fly ball to right being the only danger he faces in a 1-2-3 third.
Tigers 1, Red Sox 0, Mid 3rd -- From eight straight retired, to a complete disaster for Josh Beckett, who is out of the game with an apparent back injury.
The inning could have ended so easily, with a ground ball from Infante to Mike Aviles with two outs. Instead, however, the result was an infield single, and from there things just went further south. Beckett grazed Austin Jackson with an inside pitch to put two men on, then loaded the bases with a five-pitch walk to Quintin Berry. The exact same sequence to Miguel Cabrera--falling behind 3-0, throwing a strike, and then giving up ball four--brought a run in, and brought the trainers out, signaling the end of Beckett's night.
Clayton Mortensen was able to get out of the inning without any further damage, but now the Sox need to cobble together six more innings while trying to score something off of Justin Verlander.
Red Sox 0, Tigers 0, End 2nd -- Not only do the Red Sox waste a leadoff single from Will Middlebrooks, but they let Justin Verlander start to get his pitch count back down to acceptable levels. He needs just 13 pitches to get through the second, even with the leadoff single, leaving him with 48 on his arm through the second.
Red Sox 0, Tigers 0, Mid 2nd -- Prince Fielder follows the example set by Miguel Cabrera in the first, hitting a tall fly ball that gave Sox fans some serious concern before it landed in Cody Ross' glove in right. In fact, Beckett doesn't manage to avoid the bats very well at all, giving up three fly balls in the inning. All three go for outs, however, leaving the Red Sox starter with six up, six down to start his outing.
Red Sox 0, Tigers 0, End 1st -- They say you have to get to a guy like Justin Verlander early, or not at all. That may be true, and the Red Sox may have missed a big opportunity, but if so, they've also put themselves in a position to take a different path: get him out of the game early. Verlander needs a whopping 35 pitches to get through the first, giving up a single to Jacoby Ellsbury and walks to both Adrian Gonzalez and Cody Ross as the zone seemed to tighten up on him. Jarrod Saltalamacchia would strike out with the bases loaded, costing the Sox their opportunity to score, but they've at least put themselves in a good position for the rest of the game.
Red Sox 0, Tigers 0, Mid 1st -- If Josh Beckett was irked by all the trade talks, he's not showing it yet. In fact, he might even be feeling a little weight off after the deadline, as he gets through the first in 1-2-3 fashion, albeit relying on the wind knocking down a well-hit ball to dead center field off the bat of Miguel Cabrera. Given who the Sox are up against, the Sox are in need of a good start from Beckett now more than ever.
The Red Sox are out to lock up a series win as they take on the Tigers Tuesday night in Fenway Park. First pitch is at 7:10 p.m. EST with broadcasts on NESN, the MLB Network, and WEEI.
While the trade talks are still raging on, by the time the two teams take the field tonight, they will have long since come to an end. The question then becomes if these lineups will even remain the same. For Kelly Shoppach, that's entirely unclear. While the catcher hasn't been linked very strongly to anyone, there have been persistent rumors that the Red Sox were looking to ship him off in order to facilitate a call-up for Ryan Lavarnway.
For now, though, Shop is listed as batting eighth, once again sharing a lineup with Jarrod Saltalamacchia. Tonight, however, they will face stiffer competition, trying to score off the incredible Justin Verlander.

Justin Verlander vs Josh Beckett
Partly cloudy,rain. Winds blowing in from left field at 5-10 m.p.h. Game time temperature around 70.
Staying healthy has been one of the biggest reasons why the Boston Red Sox have struggled this season, and Monday during the team's 7-3 victory over the Detroit Tigers the injury bug struck again as outfielder Ryan Sweeney was replaced by Cody Ross.
At the time, nobody knew what the issues with Sweeney was, but on Tuesday the Boston Globe learned Sweeney had injured his hand by punching a door in the dugout.
"I just came down, walked down the stairs, and kind of punched the door a little bit,'' said a forlorn Sweeney in the clubhouse. "I've done [it] before, but maybe not to this extent.''
Sweeney's frustrations steamed from a great play by the Tiger's Omar Infante, who robbed the outfielder of a hit and helped him go 0-for-4 on the night.
Needles to say, Sweeney's rage came at the tail end of the the Red Sox's third straight victory and could force him to the disable list for the third time this season.
The Red Sox are expected to know the status of Sweeney, who will undergo an MRI, by Tuesday.

The Red Sox have their first three-game winning streak in over a month after taking the first game of their series against the Tigers 7-3 in Fenway.
The game did not start off terribly well for the Red Sox. On just the second pitch, Clay Buchholz would surrender a solo shot into the Monster seats. When Quintin Berry doubled off the wall behind him, it seemed like it could be a long night for the Sox and the one pitcher who had really been giving them great results of late.
Instead, Buchholz found his rhythm. He'd hold the Tigers to just the one run in the first, escape more serious damage by giving up just one in the third after allowing runners at the corners to start the frame and loading the bases with one down, and then go into lockdown mode.
The Tigers would manage few baserunners off of Buchholz from there, only scoring again in the seventh thanks to a dropped third strike from Kelly Shoppach. The Sox offense, however, had long since gotten to work. They would take the lead back immediately in the bottom of the first, pushing two across on a Jacoby Ellsbury walk, Carl Crawford triple, and Dustin Pedroia ground ball. While the Tigers' third-inning tally was good to tie the game, it would only last until the sixth when, with one man on, Dustin Pedroia found the Monster seats himself, putting the Sox ahead 4-2.
After the seventh inning run brought the Tigers within one, Shoppach made up for his defensive blunder by hitting a leadoff triple to the triangle in center field, scoring a fifth run to put the Sox right back ahead by two. The real death blow came in the eighth, however, with Will Middlebrooks cranking a two-run rocket over the Monster, leaving the Sox ahead by four headed to the ninth. Vicente Padilla did not have the cleanest of innings there, but with some good work from the defense behind him he was able to avoid any damage, leaving the Sox' lead fully intact at the end of the night.

The Red Sox are set to kick off their series against the Tigers in Boston. We'll keep you up-to-date on all the action as it goes down in Fenway Park.
Red Sox 7, Tigers 3, End 8th -- After a night f offensive frustration featuring three strikeouts, Will Middlebrooks falls behind 0-2, and then blasts a two-run shot into the Monster Seats to effectively seal the game for the Red Sox. They've got a four-run lead with just three outs to go.
Red Sox 5, Tigers 3, Mid 8th -- Clay Buchholz has likely wrapped up his night with a 1-2-3 eighth. It's another strong outing for Clay, with just two earned runs to his name, especially given how badly the game started in the first. The Sox just need three more outs to have a rare three-game winning streak in their pockets.
Red Sox 5, Tigers 3, End 7th -- Kelly Shoppach makes up for his blunder in the previous inning by sending a long fly ball to center field that drops into the triangle over Austin Jackson's head, allowing him to reach third with a leadoff triple. While Pedro Ciriaco's pop fly isn't enough to bring him in, Jacoby Ellsbury's single is, and it chases Scherzer from the game for good measure besides.
Red Sox 4. Tigers 3, Mid 7th -- A hitch is put in what should have been another scoreless inning for Clay Buchholz when Kelly Shoppach can't come up with strike three to Brennan Boesch, and then hits him with the throw to first. Boesch would come around to score on a one-out double from Alex Avila, leaving the Sox' lead at just the one run headed to the bottom of the seventh.
Red Sox 4, Tigers 2, End 6th -- Dustin Pedroia puts an end to the boredom in a hurry. After a leadoff walk from Carl Crawford, Pedroia got a fastball up-and-in and did what he usually does with that sort of offering, turning on the pitch and putting it in the Monster seats to make it a 4-2 lead for the Red Sox.
Red Sox 2, Tigers 2, Mid 6th -- Buchholz stays on an upswing, grabbing three quick outs in what is frankly becoming something of a snoozer. Neither team has really threatened since the third, and it's not really the sort of dominant pitching that makes for an entertaining duel, either.
Red Sox 2, Tigers 2, End 5th -- Max Scherzer, on the other hand, has the strikeouts flowing freely. Two more in the fifth give him six on the night, and with just 68 pitches on his arm it's not costing him much effort compared to Clay Buchholz.
Red Sox 2, Tigers 2, Mid 5th -- Even with the slow-to-throw Clay Buchholz on the mound, this one's going by in a hurry now. Buchholz is on pace for at least seven innings after another 1-2-3 frame in the fifth, with Quintin Barry providing him with just his second strikeout of the night.
Red Sox 2, Tigers 2, End 4th -- The Sox go quiet again in the bottom of the fourth, leaving Jarrod Saltalamacchia on base after a two-out single. Scherzer has looked impressive since his early troubles.
Red Sox 2, Tigers 2, Mid 4th -- Clay's roller coaster night is climbing back uphill, with three groundouts getting him quickly through the fourth.
Red Sox 2, Tigers 2, End 3rd -- Pedro Ciriaco gives the Sox a leadoff baserunner, but they can't bring a go-ahead score in, leaving the game locked at 2-2 through three.
Red Sox 2, Tigers 2, Mid 3rd -- Clay runs into big trouble once again in the third, but at least manages to minimize the damage. A high fly ball from Omar Infante nearly ends up in the same place as Austin Jackson's leadoff shot, but comes just short, ending up with the newly-arrived Tiger at third base. A walk to Jackson himself would put men on the corners, and while a Barry pop-up got Buchholz a much-needed out, Miguel Cabrera was able to single up the middle to drive Infante in. Buchholz would end up walking PrinceFielder toload the bases, but a double play ball off the bat of Delmon Young was enough to end the inning.
Red Sox 2, Tigers 1, End 2nd -- What seems to be a busted hit-and-run play costs the Sox in the second, as Jarrod Saltalamacchia is easily gunned down at second after a bad throw to first costs the Tigers the baserunner. With the Sox helping out, Scherzer is treated to a 1-2-3 second.
Red Sox 2, Tigers 1, Mid 2nd -- Buchholz continues his roll by ending the second 1-2-3, leaving him with six straight batters retired since the homer and double that started the game.
Red Sox 2, Tigers 1, End 1st -- The Red Sox respond in the bottom half and add on a second run for good measure. Jacoby Ellsbury works a long battle in the leadoff spot, eventually earning himself a walk. His speed is put to good use, as Carl Crawford goes to the opposite field, hitting a wall ball that allows Ellsbury to score from first as Crawford comes in behind him at third. Getting all three proves important for Crawford, as he scores on a ground ball from Dustin Pedroia before strikeouts to Adrian Gonzalez and Will Middlebrooks end the inning.
Tigers 1, Red Sox 0, Mid 1st -- Buchholz takes a few pitches to settle into the inning, and it costs him in the first. The damage comes on just the second pitch of the night: a fastball running in on Austin Jackson, who lifts a high fly ball that just barely makes its way into the Monster seats in left-center field, putting the Tigers up 1-0. Quintin Berry makes it two straight hits, doubling off the wall, but Clay manages to quiet the lineup from there, grabbing a come-backer, striking out Prince Fielder, and then getting another ground ball to end the frame.
Pedro Ciriaco will once again get the start at short as the Red Sox open their series against the Tigers in Fenway Park. First pitch is at 7:10 p.m. EST with broadcasts on NESN and WEEI.
It's Ciriaco's second straight night starting at short against right-handed starters and third straight in the starting lineup, having provided the game-winning hits in the last two games against the Yankees, even if in bloop fashion. The surprising young shortstop has bounced back from a 1-for-12 slump with a 6-for-13 run against the Rangers and Yankees, leaving him with an .820 OPS through 63 at bats.
The other noteworthy change is that both Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Kelly Shoppach will start, with Shoppach playing catcher and Salty starting as the DH. It's a bit of a risky move since, if Shoppach has to leave the game, the Sox will be witohut a DH. Will Middlebrooks and Jarrod Saltalamacchia will also swap the fifth and sixth spots in the lineup. The change effectively puts the Sox in more of a L-R-L-R arrangement, given Saltalamacchia's limited offensive abilities as a right-handed batter.

The Reverend receives a lot of worthwhile CD releases here at the About.com Blues HQ, but there sadly just aren't enough hours in the day to pen lengthy reviews on all of them. Some of these albums are just too good to ignore, thus "Blues Bites," a monthly round-up of records that we hope will get you as excited about them as we are! This month we take a look at albums from talented guitar guys like Duke Robillard, Ronnie Earl, Bart Walker, and Eric Gales, all of whom play in varying shades of the blues. Enjoy!
Bart Walker – Waiting On Daylight
Nashville bluesman Bart Walker made quite a splash at the 2012 International Blues Challenge, winning the coveted "Gibson Guitarist Award" while he and his band took second place in the band category. On the strength of that performance in Memphis, along with the accolades heaped on Who I Am, his self-produced debut album, Walker was offered a deal with respected blues label Ruf Records, which released Waiting On Daylight in early March 2013.
I'd say that label head Thomas Ruf got a steal of a deal, because Waiting On Daylight fulfills all the promise Walker showed while competing at the IBC, the album offering up eleven accomplished and mature performances that showcase the guitarist's amazing six-string skills and soulful vocal growl, which is somewhat of a mix of Gregg Allman, Ronnie Van Zandt, and Van Morrison. The material on Waiting On Daylight is an invigorating blend of Southern rock, Memphis soul, swamp-blues, and twangy roots-rock that evokes memories of Duane Allman and John Campbell.
Although tunes like the mid-tempo, power-blues of "Black Clouds" sit comfortably within the realm of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Walker is no mere SRV clone, displaying a wide stylistic range and fluid technique, whether on the self-effacing and humorous "Took It Like A Man," the best song that Lynyrd Skynrd never made, or on the blues-rock wildfire "Gotta Be You," which layers locomotive percussion beneath Walker's anguished vocals and tortured fretwork. The title track is a heartfelt ballad that evokes Jeff Healey with both its emotional vocals and nuanced guitarplay.
A red-hot cover of the Allman Brothers' gem "Whippin Post" breathes new life and fresh musical ideas into the old warhorse while retaining the song's original spirit, Walker's arrangement infusing the blues-drenched original with jazzy flourishes and soulful piano licks that capably support his hypnotizing solos. Bart Walker is one of the up and coming talents in the blues world, Waiting On Daylight a fine introduction to the artist's talents and an impressive major league debut. Grade: A- (Ruf Records, released March 12, 2013)
Duke Robillard Band – Independently Blue
Guitarist Duke Robillard is the "Old Faithful" of the blues these days, a jack of all trades and an undeniable master of them all. He releases a new album nearly every year like clockwork, recorded, presumably, when he's not off touring or in the studio producing another artist's new CD. Really, Duke is a serious workaholic, or maybe he's just hopelessly bitten by the muse of the blues, but either way a new Robillard album is a thing of pure joy, and Independently Blue is no exception.
The follow-up to Low Down and Tore Up, the guitarist's 2011 covers album, Independently Blue offers up mostly new material, penned either by Robillard or his former Roomful of Blues bandmate Al Basile, with a pair of songs written by guest guitarist "Monster" Mike Welch. The resulting slate of songs is a blues lover's smorgasbord of styles and sounds, beginning with the album's opening "I Wouldn't-a Done That." With Robillard's gruff vocals and subtle fretwork, Bruce Bear's tinkling piano, and a shuffling beat, the song is a delightful throwback to the Chicago blues of the 1950s.
The rest of Independently Blue romps across a varied blues landscape, from Welch's rocking instrumental "Stapled To The Chicken's Back," which pits the two talented fretburners against each other above a reckless groove, to the 1920s-era New Orleans blues-jazz vamp "Patrol Wagon Blues," which features Bears' piano and Doug Woolverton's period-perfect trumpet sounding Red Allen's spry original. The swinging "Laurene" gives off an energetic rockabilly vibe while Robillard's original instrumental "Strollin With Lowell and B.B." does an impressive job of capturing the spirit of both R&B legend Lowell Fulsom and the great guitarist B.B. King.
In the hands of a less talented musician, bandleader, and arranger, the wide swath of material displayed on Independently Blue would come out of the oven a tasteless mess of notes. Robillard is a traditionalist, however, a skilled instrumental stylist with a deep knowledge of, and respect for the history of the blues. As such, the performances throughout Independently Blue are inspired, wired, and more entertaining than just about any blues album you'll hear this year. Grade: A+ (Stony Plain Records, released April 9, 2013)
Eric Gales – Live
The career of Memphis-born and raised guitarist Eric Gales has long suffered from the inevitable Jimi Hendrix comparisons, especially following the release of 2001's otherwise excellent That's What I Am album under the aegis of the Experience Hendrix family trust. Unfair or not, Gales has tried to live down the Hendrix albatross ever since, a situation not helped a lick by a series of psychedelic-drenched early 2000s album releases like Crystal Vision and Psychedelic Underground for Mike Varney's Blues Bureau label.
Truth is, Eric Gales is a bluesman born and bred – his musician grandfather played with folks like Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf, and his older brothers Eugene and Manuel (a/k/a Little Jimmy King) began teaching young Eric the basics of blues guitar when he was a mere four years old. By the time he was 11, Eric was winning music competitions with his talents, and he signed his first major label deal at the tender age of 15, releasing The Eric Gales Band, his 1991 debut, with brother Eugene on bass. A number of albums have since followed, and if you listen in between the lines, you'll hear elements of Albert King's Delta dirt and B.B. King's jazzier influences mixed with the inevitable Hendrix licks and more than a little of Gales' own original vision.
It's surprising that, with ten albums under his belt, Gales hadn't previously released a live disc, a situation rectified with Blues Bureau's two-disc CD/DVD set Live. A twelve-song performance of original material penned by Gales and producer Varney, recorded at an unspecified venue, Gales leads his trio of bassist Steve Evans and Aaron Haggerty through their paces. The result is extremely satisfying, Gales leaning on the bluesier side of his talents, songs like "Freedom From My Demons" displaying both the personalized nature of his songwriting but also a fluid guitar technique that jumps from smooth jazz to roadhouse blues in a heartbeat.
The 1960s-styled "Me And My Guitar" hits hard and fast with a rapidfire rhythm and a rockabilly heartbeat, while "Wings of Rock and Roll" is a heady ballad that shows so much heart and soul in its shifting stylistic cues that it shakes off the Hendrix mimicry for once and for all. Live closes out with the muscular blues-rock rager "Retribution," which allows Gales to flex like his guitar heroes with a seriously badass performance and plenty of high-flying guitar. All told, Gales' Live is a great showcase for the often-underrated guitarist's immense skills, and this special two-disc set offers a DVD of the performance along with the audio CD. Grade: B+ (Blues Bureau Records, released October 2, 2012)
Ronnie Earl and the Broadcasters – Just For Today
While guitarist Ronnie Earl's enormous talents are certainly well-regarded in the blues world, he remains one step behind friends and contemporaries like Duke Robillard or Jimmie Vaughan in the respect department. It could be because Earl doesn't sing and typically plays complex, intricately-constructed instrumentals, bringing in an outside vocalist only occasionally. While these vocal experiments usually work out quite well – check out soul man Dave Keller wailing away on a handful of songs on Earl's 2009 album Living In The Light – the fact remains that better than a quarter-century into his career, Earl's talents are still too-often overshadowed by younger, flashier players with a fraction of his talent.
While Just For Today is unlikely to win many converts to Earl's subtle charms, for the hardcore faithful, it's another treasure from the virtuoso guitarist. Recorded live in a handful of venues in Earl's home state of Massachusetts, Just For Today features the guitarist's longest-lived Broadcasters line-up, featuring keyboardist Dave Limina, bassist Jim Mouradian, and drummer Lorne Entress as the band celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. And what a celebration it is! The album offers up thirteen red-hot performances, a mix of Earl's thoughtful originals and a brace of inspired covers, delivered with all the power and passion that have made Earl a popular concert draw.
Earl is capable of packing more emotion into a few notes than a lot of singers can muster during an entire performance, and his instrumentals are always exciting, exhilarating artistic expressions. Witness the emotional "Miracle," which opens with a swell of Limina's keyboards, Earl's wiry fretwork, and washes of bass and drums. Earl speaks through his instrument and the notes paint pictures of heartbreak, hope, and fulfillment in a way that few musicians could achieve. The jaunty "Rush Hour" is a tribute to Chicago blues legend Otis Rush, the song's walking bass line joined by lively keyboards that would make Otis Spann grin. But it's Earl's livewire picking that evokes the spirit of Rush's South Side blues style.
"Blues for Hubert Sumlin" is a tribute to an equally esteemed, but often overlooked Chicago blues giant. While "Rush Hour" was electric and raucous – befitting a 10:00 or 11:00 PM club vibe – Earl's tribute to Mr. Sumlin is pure late-night blues, measured and intense with a nuance and emotion directly opposite of "Rush Hour." The band tackles jazz legend John Coltrane's "Equinox" with equal aplomb, and it serves, as sorts, as an extension of "Blues for Hubert Sumlin," taking the instrumentation into jazzy, dark-hued territory that announces that it's definitely closing time. Singer Diane Blue acquits herself well on an emotional cover of Etta James' classic "I'd Rather Go Blind," showing what Earl and the band can do behind a good singer.
Just For Today is an excellent representation of the underrated, but never under-achieving talents of Ronnie Earl and the Broadcasters. The live setting allows the band to shine, and provides the perfect showcase for Earl's six-string mastery as the crew romps across a set list that includes blues, boogie, and a taste of jazz. Just For Today will please longtime fans and serves as a stepping stone for the adventurous and uninitiated. The Rev says "check it out!" Grade: A (Stony Plain Records, released April 9, 2013)

By Jade Bulecza - bio | email VALDOSTA, GA (WALB) - A Valdosta woman, accused of robbing a Rite Aid Pharmacy at knifepoint, survived a potential drug overdose and is now in jail.
Police say 37-year-old Karyn Eutzler held up the pharmacy Monday morning and swallowed a large number of stolen pills when police tried to arrest her.
She spent two days in the hospital but is now out and in the Lowndes County Jail.
"Our sheriffs department is a great sheriffs department," said Lt. Bobbi McGraw. "They're going to make sure that everybody gets good treatment. That's one thing they do if there are any medical issues. They have an actual medical unit at the jail."
Karyn Eutzler will remain under close medical watch at the Lowndes County Jail.
She is being held without bond.

I thought I'd give a update, I've gotten the head halfway done, I've given him abit of my own style cause I find it hard to copy a style exactly when it comes to sculpting foam and furring and whatnot, still got abit to go, my outfit should be arriving next month and should I fire an email to the site that's doing it to check and see if everything's okay? Also eyes are hard haha

Wow, that is amazing! And you should definitely send an email; It's good to keep open communication beween a buyer & a comissioner
Fiesta Asia, May 17 - Washington DC
Thanks! ive been kinda slow on it, sometimes my inner perfectionist goes "ooooh my god, im about to have a biiiitch fit" lol and I get irritated.
Lol, no, I totally get it! It's easy for cosplay to become overwhelming >.< One strategy for battling that is to decide when you're going to work on your cosplay & when you're going to take a break,
ie: "I'm going to work on section A of my cosplay from 1-2:30, then from 230-3 I'm going to take a break, watch one episode of anime & have a snack, then 3-4:30 work on section B"
Sticking to guidelines you set out for yourself is the best way to prevent what many cosplayers term "Pre-con stress!". I know it can be hard to stop when you're on a roll, but think of it as a sanity break & if you don't get a particular segment done in the time you've alloted for it, BE OKAY WITH IT, and plan another time to work on it again later. Taking breaks & keeping what you're working on fresh is key to not having a total meltdown
Fiesta Asia, May 17 - Washington DC
I see what you mean, ive had days where I can get soooo much done, like steam roll it. Its also helpful if you get stuck on something you just leave it for abit and come back to it with a fresh mindset. also im being a derp.
Hey do you know any good guides to drawing anime eyes or tutorials?
If you're any good with a knife you can make a stencil from a google image.

Hi there,
i just want to know if you and your friends will despite those who simply buy their costumes online?
Is handmade or customized an essential element in cosplay?

The most essential element of cosplay is that you enjoy what you're doing :)
People cosplay for many different reasons; personally I'm in it for the craftsmanship because I enjoy the challenge of "Okay, so how do I take this fictional 2-D idea and make it into a tangible 3-D object/character?"
One of my best cosplay friends can't sew to save his life, so he buys all his cosplays because he loves the characters so much he enjoys the roleplaying & embodying the character.
And I know tons of people who cosplay not because they're so into a character or crafting, but just because they want to show other people "Hey, I really love this fandom" in hopes that it draws other people who love the same fandom so they can have someone to talk with who understands.
Sadly, yes there are cosplayers who are in it for the same reason I am (the craftsmanship), and they do tend to get an elitist mentality about cosplay, ie "Anybody can wear a cosplay, but only talented people can make them". I can see how that happens; you get so excited that people want to take your photo, that you feel proud of yourself because you've made something so well that somebody else appreciates it enough to want to take their own personal memento of your work. And that pride can turn into haughtiness if you don't keep it in check. Which ends up with a cosplayer turning into an elitist jerk.
So I do my best to keep myself grounded by remembering that I do this hobby because it's fun; not because I'm "better than other people".
If you buy your cosplays, don't ever feel ashamed; hopefully you'll meet lots of other cool people who are in the same fandom and you'll have tons of fun. But if you ever encounter an elitist jerk, just let their words roll off your back - don't let them steal your happiness.

"is anything here made with tangerines!?!?"
so update time! I'm finished! I had ordered the kimono from FM anime but the rest I made myself, including the shoes, I took the liberty to making a pair of black Geta. Took him to anthrocon this year and I was sad only 3 people knew who he was! I was even asked if I was a digimon! I'm sure if I wore him to an anime convention it would be recognized a lot more.
I was gonna cosplay as Keima fromTWGOK but I am uncertain about the school logo(yellow pin-thingy) on his red blazer. Also I couldn't find what the name of the tie that he wears(the one that looks like a napkin <.<) any help would be appreciated!
Ps. I prefer kind of self-made-ish my cosplay. I don't want to buy the set off a website >.< cause I feel like I can save more money this way and it'll be more fun too! ><
People who have less tend to appreciate things more than others who have plenty.
I've never cosplayed before but I want to try it out, and the character I choose was Death Gun from SAO II. The costume seems simple enough to make, I'm just wondering, for the mask would it be easier to make it out of eva foam or out of an oven bake clay? I've never worked with eva before but i have worked with clay (just not making a mask). Is there another material I'm overlooking? Any useful information would be greatly appreciated. oh and i have like 2 months to work on it so time is not a big issue.

The blog of Stephen David Smith, Tokyo, Japan 2014
The dust has finally started to settle from the New Year's and Christmas celebrations. I spent Christmas in the UK then flew back to Tokyo for New Year's Eve. Didn't go to a party as such this year, just ventured into the city and saw where things would lead. I ended up at the foot of Tokyo Tower for the countdown. Having been there just recently I was able to find my way back there despite the champagne and beer haze. That however probably explains why the picture above is so poor.
Fortunately, before I went out, I had lined my stomach with Toshi-koshi Soba (New Year's soba, lit. year-change soba) as is customary. The only things I haven't had yet is Osechi-ryouri (New Year's Dishes), Oshiruko (sweet red bean soup), and Ozoni (savoury soup with Mochi rice cake floating in it). I managed to eat some crab at a sushi restaurant I went to after I finished at the shrine as crab is traditional and sushi is pretty popular to eat during new year in Japan also.
On New Year's day I did the customary Hatsumode at Nishi-Arai Daishi Shrine. That went pretty smoothly as I was lucky enough to have a ¥5 coin in my pocket. After that, I bought an Omamori (lucky charm) / Omikuji (fortune) combo and got Daikichi (best possible outlook) and a Manniki-Neko (lucky cat) charm which is supposed to bring money and success in business. All-in-all, regardless of whether or not you choose to believe in such things, feeling very positive about 2012. I think it's going to be an awesome year!
Here's hoping you get everything you wish for in the coming year and best wishes for 2012, the year of the dragon!
Today is Christmas Day, and this year I'm spending it in Japan. This morning I watched Tom & Jerry's The Night Before Christmas and Disney's A Christmas Carol while eating one of the two Christmas cakes from the fridge, played the fresh copy of Super Mario Bros. Wii for an hour, then went to Tokyo Midtown for the illuminations and the Christmas market. The picture you can see at the top of this post was taken there. I'm about to have dinner, but unfortunately it won't include roast turkey this year. That's OK, it's been a pretty good day!
Merry Christmas and a prosperous and productive New Year from Tokyo Story!
What a crazy last few days that was. I'm struggling to stay awake as I write this post as it's now after 6pm Tokyo time on Friday 2nd January 2009, and I haven't slept properly since New Year's Eve. In fact, I've been traveling for most of the last 24 hours with a nasty hangover and an even nastier cold. I was completely blocked up when I got on the plane which resulted in massive pressure building up in the tubes of my head and now my ears are blocked too. Just to top it off, I got my UK mobile phone nicked during the festivities of New Year's Eve which I spent on the streets of London, something I won't be doing again.
Anyway, it's nice to get back to Tokyo and get set up ready to attack the coming year. I've got loads of exciting work coming up in the first quarter of this year, and I'll be launching a major new flash site over the next week or so, so look out for that. Once I get some sleep and a bowl of rice I'll be OK.
So here I am on a flight out of Tokyo, heading back to the UK for Christmas and New Year's. I'll be catching up with old colleagues and old friends, and seeing my family of course. It's been an amazing year in Tokyo and I'll be back January 2nd to tie up a few loose ends and meet some prospective clients before heading to Kores. Until then, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and thanks for reading Tokyo Story!
UPDATE: I just watched The Mongol starring Tadanobu Asano on the plane. It's a really good movie.

Medal of Honor recipient Army Sgt. 1st Class Leroy Petry is visiting The Citadel to talk to cadets about leadership and his experiences in the Army.
Petry received the medal for helping his comrades in a firefight with the Taliban in Afghanistan in 2008. He lost his right hand in the action and now works out of Fort Lewis, Wash., with wounded warriors and ill and injured members of their families.
He told The Associated Press that leadership entails both teamwork and resiliency. Petry says he has no regrets about his choice to serve his nation in the Army.
He speaks to cadets and the public Tuesday night. On Wednesday, Petry participates in the school's third annual leadership day in which students work throughout the community on public service projects.

Town Square
Let's talk about John McCain
Original post made by Mavs man on Oct 7, 2008
Web Link
on Oct 7, 2008 at 6:24 am
I saw that article yesterday. It's amazing how little of this people actually know. How much of John McCain is this constructed persona. He's got a serious problem with reality, with truth, and with things not going his way. The exchange with Cornyn was remarkable. Someone so impulsive, so hotheaded, and so adept at lying in this fashion would be dangerous in the White House.
Thanks for posting!
on Oct 7, 2008 at 6:57 am
McCain reminds me of G.W. Bush. Push your family connections to advance and spends your time carousing and screwing up. Then makeup myths about yourself to get into politics. Then pretend to be the everyman when in fact you're a spoiled brat of privilege and wealth. G.W. used Saudi money. McCain has used Cindy's beer money.
on Oct 7, 2008 at 6:57 am
I can't vote for John McCain he's too old. He's older than me!!!


text: Bolt Thrower has been my favorite band for years, and they certainly haven't disappointed me with this release. The music has a perfect balance of heavy, skull-pounding metal and growling vocals, with enough melodic variety to keep it from becoming monotonous. The band continues its war theme with some great lyrics to boot. This is a more complex CD than "Mercenary", but "…For Victory" remains my favorite. If you like extreme, fast, and heavy metal, Bolt Thrower is the right choice. Check out Krisiun's "Conquerors of Armageddon" as well.

So recently Jeff Gordon and company tried to show us all how dumb they think we are. They aired a commercial in which Jeff Gordon wears a disguise and supposedly "pranks" an unsuspecting car salesman and scares the bejesus out of the poor unsuspecting car salesman on a test drive. Of course this test drive was done on a closed course (how convenient) and the guy he supposedly pranked just happens to work for Disney at the Nascar experience. Now in case you were sniffing glue and thought this prank was real, think again. It was all staged and set up to sell product.
So what does that have to do with Geno Smith? Recently Jon Gruden invited Geno Smith to be a guest on his QB camp show. To be honest I did not see it but I intend to catch it tomorrow when it re-airs. Also, I should tell everyone that I have no hard opinion on Geno Smith and whether or not he will be a successful QB in the NFL, I simply do not know. I did tune in and watch Geno play two games last season just because of all the chatter surrounding him. Being as we needed a QB really badly and I knew we would be drafting really high in the draft, my curiosity was peaked. Coincidentally, he played pretty average in both games so I was not impressed. However, I didn't let two games form my opinion of this kid for me because he came so highly touted and his numbers were eye popping. So I chalked it up to him just having a couple of bad games, no less, no more.
But since the Gruden QB camp show aired it seems everyone is high on Geno again. I looked it up on the internet to see what the chatter was following the show and pretty much everyone was saying he seemed so smart and poised and that he had successfully silenced his critics. Now whether or not he did and whether or not he is going to be amazing or he is going to be a career back up QB is irrelevant to me, what is relevant is that people keep a proper perspective on these type shows.
Pretty much everything you and I will ever see on TV is scripted to some degree and the Gruden show is no exception people. I have watched just about every segment of Gruden interviewing players on his shows and one thing stands out; Gruden never says anything bad about anyone he has on his show, ever. But that is not surprising because if he did, he wouldn't have a show for very much longer. If he threw totally impromptu questions and play diagrams at these players and they failed miserably on national television, no player would ever go on his show again because their agents would not allow it. I would be shocked if the NFL network doesn't give a courtesy heads up to these players and their agents as to what type of questions will be asked and what type of play diagrams will be dissected on the show.
Gruden always compliments every single player on his show. He has never said anything negative about a player on his show and he never will, it would be bad for business. These players come on his show to get helped out and to look good and thats the only reason they do it. Its a business decision plain and simple so don't get caught up into debating Geno Smith or any players abilities based on a TV show that receives commercial sponsorship.
I would love some honest feedback from you guys on Geno Smith because quite frankly I'm not sold on the guy. I can't find one credible source from any scout, evaluator or TV commentator anywhere that thinks Geno is worth a top ten pick, not one; and that worries me. Yes, I know that scouts miss from time to time, that is to be expected. But when there is a 100% consensus on a player across the board, that has to mean something. This isn't like one or two guys saying these things about Geno or I could dismiss it as just the normal back and forth we are fed every season. From Cam Newton to Eric Berry, there were mixed reviews, but not so with Geno Smith.
At this point I am so confused that I don't want him with our first pick simply because I am uncomfortable with him now. However, I am open to listening to what anyone has to say as long as you can back it up with something more than an opinion. Thank you and as always Go Chiefs!!


text: As a real old fan of Sepultura this record, to me, is Soulfly's best record. As a fan of music I love to see bands grow and that is exactly what they have done. Since Marc Rizzo joined the band the records have become more soulful, intense, and metal. Conquer is not only their best release but their most technical without losing their roots in making the crowd move. I would highly suggest this record to metal heads that love Arise and Dark Ages because of the soulfulness and technicality. You can tell they spent some time on theses songs compared to Cavalera Conspiracy. Just buy it you'll love it.

- About Ateneum
Research into Finnish Symbolism has focused primarily on the early years of the movement at the beginning of the 1890s. With the exception of research into some individual artists, the latter evolution of Symbolism has not been comprehensively studied in this country. This omission may be due to the prejudices of Modernism, according to which the period was lacking in artistic quality and interest. In writing about Sigurd Wetterhoff-Asp and Joséphin Péladan, for example, some critics have even referred to the "decline" of Symbolism.
Nevertheless, Symbolism continued in slightly different forms in Finland even after the country gained independence in 1917. Similarly, interest in theosophy and occultism remained strong, and numerous esoteric societies continued to be active in these decades.
One particular group who focused on Symbolism were the artists who organised a series of "free exhibitions" (Vapaa taidenäyttely or Fria utställning) in Helsinki between 1896 and 1903. Although the composition of this group varied, its leading light was very much Sigurd Wetterhoff-Asp. Other participants included Torsten Wasastjerna, Aleksander Federley, Alexander Barkoff, Wilho Sjöström and Divina Asp. Among sculptors, Georges Winter in particular has been all but forgotten by later generations.
