So I'm watching Jake tonight wondering what kind of pitcher he'll be by the end of his contract. According to baseball-reference.com his top comparables through age 28 are Carl Pavano, Oil Can Boyd, Bill Wegman, Johnny Marcum, Sloppy Thurston, Adam Eaton, Rich Gale, Aaron Sele, Charles Nagy and Jason Schmidt.
Of all of those guys, only Sele and Schmidt pitched over 100 IP past the age of 32. Westbrook turns 33 on September 29th of the final year of his contract. Well done, Shapiro. Well done indeed.

Fat Tuesday is over. Make way for ashes, abstinence and changes of heart.
In Catholic and Protestant churches around Orange County and the world, Ash Wednesday services mark the beginning of Lent, the 40-day liturgical season leading to Holy Week and Easter Sunday.
- Read below to find service times at local churches.
It's a time for personal reflection, acts of sacrifice and new beginnings, church officials say.
"The term Lent comes from the Old English word for 'spring' and Christians see these days as a time for changes of heart, personal repentance and an openness to the grace of a fresh beginning," according to a statement from the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange.
At noon in Holy Family Cathedral in Orange, Bishop Kevin Vann will celebrate his first Ash Wednesday as the newly installed head of the Diocese of Orange.
In a statement issued Tuesday, Vann said: "The announcement of Pope Benedict's retirement and the election of a new Pope by Easter adds great significance to this Lenten season. ... Ash Wednesday truly will be a season of new beginnings and reflection for Catholics worldwide."

Say it ain't so!
Tito Ortiz, one half of main event for Bellator's pay-per-view (PPV) debut, has been forced from the card due to a neck injury suffered in training. Ortiz was set to fight Quinton Jackson next Saturday (Nov. 2, 2013) at the Long Beach Arena in Long Beach, California.
Ariel Helwani of MMA Fighting was the first with the news
Bellator is currently seeking a replacement for Ortiz, and it is unclear at this time whether Jackson will remain on the Nov. 2 card. There is a chance next weekend's pay-per-view card turns into a Spike show with Jackson being moved to another event.
Ortiz sent out a cryptic tweet earlier Friday (Oct. 25, 2013) with a picture that said "I know everything happens for a reason, but sometimes I wish I knew what that reason was," along with a caption reading "Sometimes I wonder why?"
This is the worst case scenario for Bellator, as the PPV broadcast was the first step into moving from a free television product into the money-making world of PPV. With Ortiz off the card, Bellator loses the main event that was expected to draw in the casual fan.
Brent Brookhouse over at Bloody Elbow has suggested that Bellator move the card onto Spike. However, with the new deal Bellator signed with Eddie Alvarez, that is likely not a possibility if the former Bellator champion is to stay on the card.
Talk about Bjorn Rebney and his terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.

The empanadas we enjoy today in the western hemisphere, probably originated in Galicia, Spain. In Galicia, empanadas are similar to a cut up pies filled with cod fish or chicken. However, the idea of wrapping a hardy filling in pastry dough may well have stemmed from the Moors who occupied Spain for hundreds of years.
Cubans fill their empanadas with seasoned ground beef or chicken and then fry them. Pastelitos are similar, but are made with lighter pastry dough and can be either baked or fried. It is acceptable to eat empanadas at any meal, but they are usually eaten during lunch or as a snack. In The Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico, empanadas are prepared and eaten the same way as Cuban empanadas. Catibías are made with cassava flour dough. Some of the common fillings are ground beef, chicken, guava and cheese.

International heartache for City's wing wizard
Updated 1:44pm Thursday 29th May 2014 in News By Joel Holt
WITH the nation waiting to embrace the World Cup in two weeks' time, stars from England C have been on a different international mission.
Salisbury City's Elliott Frear, pictured, was amid the non-league Three Lions striving towards victory in their International Challenge Trophy (ICT) group opener with Slovakia under 23s.
But their hard work in Poprad was undone in the 81st minute when the hosts' only goal condemned England to a cruel 1-0 defeat on Saturday.
Paul Fairclough's outfit must now go to Turkey in October and win if they are to keep their ICT hopes alive.
"We could not have done any more, obviously scoring a goal would be helpful, but I could go through the whole squad and every single player had an outstanding performance," he said.
"Obviously the outcome means we've got to go and win in Turkey and we've got to go and win against Estonia."
Frear, who is yet to agree a new deal at Old Sarum, was joined by teammate Angus MacDonald for the tour where they also took on Sparta Prague B and Hungary in friendlies. In the latter match, the winger assisted England C's two goals during their 4-2 defeat on Tuesday.
England C V Slovakia (4-3-3): Walker; Yiadom, Roberts, Franks, Demetriou, Bradley (Marwood 86), Payne, Pearson, (Gallagher 80), Marsh-Brown (Maddison 70), Norwood (Taylor 86), Frear (Fitzpatrick 90).

Like a bull in a china shop, our local real estate market charges on, leaving in its wake the shattered dreams of distraught buyers who anxiously try to piece them back together. The pressure to successfully consummate a home purchase increases daily thanks to the compound effect of rising prices and rising interest rates. With each passing day, buyers are getting less for their hard earned dollar.
Both average and median prices are up about 25% in northern Contra Costa County, compared to the same time last year, and slightly under 20% in southern Contra Costa County. The increases are even more severe in the East Bay and South Bay given their proximity to the Bay Area's economic centers.
Much of those gains, however, have come in just the last couple of months and point to the likelihood that year-over-year gains will be even higher in the coming months. In my hometown of Pleasant Hill, I recently had a front row seat to an example of documentable gains of over 11% in just six weeks. The data in this case were two almost identically sized, configured, and updated homes, located mere yards away from each other on equally desirable streets. In other words, it was a rare opportunity for an apples to apples comparison.
House #1 was listed in early April at $549,000 and was bid up to $585,000. House #2 was listed in late May, just two weeks after the closed purchase of House #1, for the identical asking price of $549,000. But despite being nearly identical in all respects to House #1, bidding for House #2 stopped at a jaw-dropping $650,000.
As I dug into the recent sales data for more evidence of this phenomenon, I noticed an interesting trend. The market's intense bidding activity is focused on three types of homes:
1) Homes that have all of those updates and improvements that magazines and HGTV are telling the American public they should want.
2) Major fixers that, cosmetically speaking, need extensive updating. Overly optimistic investors appear to be jumping into these projects in hopes of hitting it big.
3) Single level homes, thanks to the growing numbers of Baby Boomers for whom stairs are a deal-breaker.
Receiving far less attention are those two-story and split-level homes in "so-so" condition. In most cases these are in pretty good condition, but either suffer from some minor deferred maintenance, have dated bathrooms and kitchens, or are just plain poorly decorated.
In one case, I located a home priced at $650,000 that offered a better location and 700 more square feet than the homes mentioned above, yet it was sitting with no offers after two weeks on the market. Although relatively well updated and meticulously maintained, it suffered from a "challenging color palette" that could easily be remedied with $5,000 of paint and carpet updates.
So if you're a homebuyer who wouldn't mind doing a little updating to an otherwise solid home, give those less-than-perfect homes a long second look. It takes a concerted effort, especially when you've just finished touring a remodeled knock-out, but the decreased cosmetic appeal will leave you in a strong negotiation position and a below asking price offer will have a good chance of success.

A team of scientists led by Dr Simon Richardson at the University of Greenwich has got a step closer to one of the holy grails of drug delivery.
The goal – to find a vehicle that can carry drugs not just to a specific cell but a specific organ (organelle) inside the cell, and accurately measure how it behaves when it gets there – has proved elusive despite two decades of research, according to the Journal of Controlled Release, a top international scientific publication.
Now the journal has given the new research front page billing, saying in an editorial that Richardson and colleagues provide direct evidence, for the first time, that nanomedicines can be delivered to select organelles and manipulated to carry beneficial agents like genes.
Dr Richardson says: "Drug delivery is important for everyone because it has the potential to deliver new treatments for diseases which are currently incurable; and to deliver existing drugs more effectively."

This was the cover art for an online book I did. It was put together in Flash, and you could click through each page. It was a 'circle' story, sort of a mind exercise where you start with macro items on earth and go smaller and smaller until you are back where you started. I'll post a link if I find the SWF file again.

Animation Monday: The Perlinger Archive
Posted in animated short, animation, Design, Prelinger Collection, superheroes, superman, Visual Development on January 28, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Last week got kind of crazy, huh? It was Friday when I realized I had only posted once. I hope to get some new material posted this week.
Here's a great site I bumped into a few years ago, and visit as often as time allows. It's called the Prelinger Archives. It's not all animation, but features a variety of different genres of material that focuses on "ephemeral"(advertising, educational, industrial, and amateur) films. You can watch many of them on the site and many are available for licensing from Getty Images. Some are available for download.
There are also links to dozens of different AV collections. Those wonderful slide shows that told us how to be good students and neighbors are there to. Most in the public domain.
The archives feature the infamous Duck and Cover films of the 1950's and 60's, and some great corporate films. Be careful, once you start clicking around you can easily spend 4 hours. Great place for inspiration, history and fun.
Animation Monday

Animation Monday. Where I spend at least 30 minutes looking through my bazillions of bookmarks to find unique animation to post. Or not so unique…sometimes just scary.
I think this is older, and popped up on Cartoon Brew a while back, but some very odd and funny animated shorts at this site. Bunny-things, who seem to be in prison. Hummmm. Add in oddly hypnotic music and you have shorts sure to hit it big with the kids. You know, 'these days'. The-kids-these-days.
The Kids These Days are always blamed for everything aren't they? And yet, the world being the mess it is, I don't hear the saying "Somethings wrong with the adults these days…"
Some very cool art direction. You can watch 6 or 7 of the shorts now, and it seems they are adding more.

Some work-in-progress here. It's a HUGE painitng, so this reduced size is a little less effective. It is a double page spread. And the design of this story has me thinking of an animated short based on it as well.
Interesting Animation Style

The clip above is the opening 13 seconds or so from an animated project I art directed and animated…that never saw the light of day. Heck, it didn't even see a light bulb swinging back and forth in the wind on a lonely front porch.
It was based on an idea from a very funny writer in L.A. that I met. Dave had an idea that seemed suited to my collage style. It was a show about real trash. I won't say more, maybe Dave is shopping it.
I designed most of the characters, started building them in poses in After Effects and did almost all the layouts of the 5 or 6 minute short. Then it happened.
I had just bought a house, and was getting ready to start Grad School. I lost all my free time. Did I mention the house was a FIXER. Yeah, all in caps.
So the project just sort of died. Above is a short animated clip that uses the opening layout with some simple music and snd. effects. The three pieces of art are the main characters and that opening layout.
There are so many projects to pursue, so many interesting ideas. But sometimes life gets in the way, and the 'freebie' ideas fall to the side. Not to blame Dave. We had a partnership and I would have shared in any success, but building and animating 6 minutes would have taken time I didn't have. Pretty cool looking though. Wish I had finished it.
Off Topic Tuesday
Posted in Amazon.com on January 16, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
So I ordered some stuff from Amazon.com. And my order 'qualified' for their Super-Duper-Super-Saver-Shipping. That means FREE. And as I didn't need this stuff in a hurry, I figured '"Why Not?". Ordered on January 5th I think.
On the 8th I got the email that it shipped. Not so bad, 3 days to throw stuff in a box, put a label on and drop it off before coffee.
So I decided to track the package. And well, all I can say is wow. It's not so much that they were slow to fulfill the order or that they ship it via a guy riding an undersized donkey (It is FREE…) but, they actually seem to have developed a system to slow down the delivery process.
"When you absolutly, positively don't want it there anytime soon."
As the graphic above shows, it shipped from Kansas on the 8th, traveled to Ohio by the 10th (OK, back of the truck, only shipped when they had room – I understand it is super-duper-super-saver-shipping AKA – I paid nuthin'.). Hey! it got to Washington on the 10th, (that's getting pretty close to Oregon! ) Then…Back to Ohio…Then back to Washington…What the h&^$*@?
So, super-duper-saver-shipping isn't just no priority, it's actually a negative priority, an alternative universe priority where slow is fast and distance is an illusion. A universe where they ship it towards you, and away form you. Then towards you…and away from you. Is my package costing more to drive back and forth than to just deliver in the first place?
And what about the contents? One item is a electronic device. Was it thrown back and forth to trucks 4 times as much? Because if that box shows up looking like an elephant sat on it, it's going right back to Amazon. But I hope they don't take returns via super-duper-saver-shipping or DHL will have to ship the package to China, then to Washington, then to Kansas, then back to China…you get the idea.
Animation Monday – Lou Romano

This week, I'm not linking to a clip, but to a great animation artist named Lou Romano. For those involved in animation you already know his work. If I can introduce a person or two to him, all the better. Inspiring, amazing, fun and funny. Recently he has also been showing up in the New Yorker as well. (actually tracking New Yorker artists would make another great blog topic) His work always catches my attention. So without further ado, check out his blog. Why I keep linking to people far better then me, I have no idea…but at least folks stopping by this blog get a treat!
Quick sketch farms
Posted in animated short, animation, animation art, Animation Artists, animation background art, Digital painting, farm painting, illustration, quick sketch, sketch book, Visual Development, Work in progress on January 11, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I seem to have a thing for farms. Well, drawing farms anyway. And rural landscapes in general. I have done a few animated shorts set on farms, and a graphic novel (with agent, but I'm not sure it will be picked up) that has a rural setting (truth be told, it is half farm/half outer space). I'm just finishing up some animation for a great new documentary by November Films and it features – a history of farming in the United States.
So I have more then a few notebooks filled with farm quick drawings/inspiration. Here are a few. I like the raw energy of these works-in-progress. Usually placed too close to an edge of the page, or smeared with coffee. They have great life to them. And it takes a lot of effort to keep that life, that spontaneity and produce a finished piece that is production ready, at least that's the tough part for me.

A quick doodle from my notebook. And it says "Story is King" on the other side of that page. I like the brevity of this, even though it is drawn with way too many lines.

NFL Changes Trade Deadline, Injured Reserve Rules
The NFL has made a couple of rule tweaks that have the potential to be fairly significant down the road in the 2012 season. The trading deadline has been moved to after Week 8 and teams can now re-activate one player from the IR if the injury was suffered after September 4. Personally I think the trade deadline should be even later. I'd love to have "buyers" and "sellers" like the rest of the pro sports leagues after about 10-12 games. (It would have made the 2011 Vikings season a lot more interesting, that's for sure.) What do you think? Are the new changes good, bad, or too insignificant to have much of an impact?

Purple make-up
Beauty trend: purple make-up
This season's make-up is getting the royal treatment with smouldering, sultry purples, plums, violets and lavenders reigning over both glam and casual looks.
From the lightest of lilacs to the most iconic of indigos, purple make-up is one of winter's biggest trends. And, best of all, this part-vamp, part-pretty make-up look suits just about every skin tone and hair colour, so, whether you're fair skinned, olive-skinned, blonde, brunette or redhead, you'll easily be able to embrace the shade in all its royal glory. For inspiration, think Biba dresses, paisley violet prints and wow-factor eighties eye make-up. All that's needed is a modern, contemporary twist and a subtle approach. If you play up the eyes make sure the lips stay bare or neutral, and if you're going all out for a pop of purple on that pout, then keep it simple on your peepers. Follow StyleJunkee's golden rules for purple make-up prestige and you'll easily sport the trend with attention-grabbing artistry.
Daytime purple make-up
The key to mastering purple make-up for the daytime is subtlety. Choose a statement purple and stick to one area per look. So, if it's your eyes you want to give some purple-power too, keep your lips muted in pale, nude or neutral colours and go for a peachy-hue on the cheeks for a coordinated approach. We love No.7's Metallic Eye Pencil in Purple, which works best when applied close to the lashes and then smudged in. Apply a taupe shade on the eyelids and lashings of purple mascara if you fancy a little bit more purple power. We like Yves Saint Laurent's Mascara Singular in Deep Violet – purple mascara sets off brown and hazel eyes beautifully. Don't be frightened to give your lips the centre-stage. Dramatic violet or crimson lips look fabulous set against soft, summery pink eyes. Wearing purple make-up can be as understated as using a purple eyeliner – simply team with golds, tans, taupes or browns to keep things fresh and modern. Be sure to neutralize any redness with a matt foundation before you apply your purple make-up.

- Yves Saint Laurent Ombres 5 Lumiéres,£37, at John Lewis
No 7 Mini Metallic Eyes Pencil Set, £13.50, at Boots
Yves Saint Laurent Mascara Singulier in Deep Violet, £21, at House of Fraser
Nighttime purple make-up
Sheer shimmery purples are fun for nighttime looks, so choose metallic and glittery shades. Deep purples are great for achieving the sultry rock-chick effect: olive skins should go for slightly more blueish purples, while paler and black skin tones can pretty much have their pick of the colour. Cover the entire eyelid with a dark purple if you're feeling brave or opt for two tones for a lighter effect – the darker of the two should be in the area between the eye lid and bone, and the lighter on the eye lid and under the brow. If you've green eyes go for a flash of green eyeliner with your purple make-up, like singer Rihanna (pictured) – it'll really bring out the colour of your eyes. Lavender and violet are pretty and feminine and a sweep of shimmering lavender on the brow bone is great for adding highlight without going too vampy. Very light lavenders or purples on the inner corners of the eye will lighten dark circles and deep mauve and plum on the lips will make teeth appear whiter.
Barry M Limited Edition Eye Shadow, £4.50, at Boots
Urban Decay Compact Size Big Fatty Mascara in Purple Haze, £8.50, at House of Fraser
Illamasqua Pure Pigment Loose Eye Powder, £15, at ASOS
- Barry M Lavender Lip Paint, £4.25, at Boots
Purple nails anyone?
To really complement your purple make-up how about wearing purple on your nails? Purple nails polish is the new it colour for winter. Rich shades are flattering on all skin tones so choose a dark vampy one like Chanel Nail Colour in Vendetta or Dover Street Market from Nails Inc. The paler your skin colouring is the darker the shade you should plump for.
And if all this talk of purple make-up is a bit too daring how about going for a purple make-up accessory instead? We love this Purple Lips/Purple Lipstick Pendant Necklace, £75, at Lulu Guinness.

St Columba's Catholic Primary School pupils bring Easter story to the stage
9:00am Friday 18th April 2014 in News
School pupils told the true story of Easter to a packed audience of parents and teachers.
Year four children at St Columba's Catholic Primary School, in Holme Wood, performed The Easter Story, shortly before breaking up for the holidays.
Around 60 pupils took part in the play, which told the story of Jesus's last days before his crucifixion at the hands of the Roman Empire.
Pictured are Krystal Burgan, Emma Runciman, Olivia Goldthorpe, Kajus Kudzevicius, Sami Merifield and Mackenzie White.

The Indiana School Boards Association (ISBA) established the Certification Awards Program (CAP) in July of 1992. This program recognizes officially seated board members for their dedication to continuous improvement especially through attendance at ISBA sponsored conferences, seminars and retreats. Each time a board member attends an ISBA function/in-service program, they are awarded points. These points translate into four different levels of distinction. Level 1 (75 points), 2 (125 points), 3 (175 points), and Master (225 points) can be attained.
If a majority of a board attains a minimum of Level 1 recognition, the board is considered to be an "Outstanding Board." As of March 2013 the Rush County School Board has been named an "Outstanding Board" due to the fact that Mr. Jeff Slaton, Dr. Steve Sickbert and Paul Barada have been granted Level 1 status. Anita Jackson has been granted the Level 2 Status and Mr. John Wilson has been granted the Master Status. There will be a presentation of the "Outstanding Board" designation at the spring regional meeting of ISBA.
"Each of these Board Members is to be congratulated for their efforts on behalf of the Rush County School Board. Their commitment to train themselves to be better board members through attending in-services programs is just one more reason Rush County Schools is a great place to be," stated Dr. John E. Williams, RCS superintendent.
Marianne Scott is the Legacy Fund director/information officer for Rush County Schools.


text: More fun stuff from everyone's favorite New York sportswriter, Bill Madden, claiming that his financial numbers he used concerning the Pirates back in August were, in fact, truthful. His chief ally in all of this: Scott Boras, who as we all know is about honesty first and foremost. I realize that regional sportswriters aren't necessarily the most well-informed folks when it comes to teams outside their region, but he seems to have some sort of serious vendetta with the Buccos, specifically the management team.

Many people in the 9/11 Truth Movement have understandably been energized by the Ron Paul campaign for President. It was indeed heartening to see a contender for the Republican Party nomination who was supportive of the call for a new, genuine, thorough and comprehensive investigation of 9/11.
However, now that that the Republican race is all but over, and Mr. Paul has indicated that he will not seek to run as an independent, I ask those of you in the Movement (who have not already done so) to please consider lending your financial and volunteer support to former Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, who is seeking the Green Party nomination for President of the United States.
Nader supports new independent inquiry into 9-11
PETER'S NEW YORK, April 14, 2008--Ralph Nader, the consumer activist and independent presidential candidate, seems to think that the report of the commission assigned to investigate the events of 9-11 should not be the last word.
"There are unanswered questions in the 9-11 investigation, and they should be answered," Nader said at a recent address at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia. "How do you go from plausibility to evidence? You have a more independent inquiry."
On the morning of September 11, 2001, airliners collided with each of the twin towers of New York City's World Trade Center, after which they and a third nearby office building mysteriously collapsed. Other incidents on the same day at the Pentagon and in a field in Pennsylvania were also attributed to aircraft collisions. All were pitched by the government as the result of a terrorist conspiracy, although it is widely believed that the government may have played a direct role in orchestrating the events.
Why the Double Standards? Can't We Hold Our Congressional Representatives to Full Accountability?
Please look at both these videos and ask yourself if there are any Double Standards.
Alex Jones Smacks Down a 9/11 Kool-Aid Drinker
Ron Paul @ Fox Debate Pt.2 1-10-08
This is not a personal attack on Alex Jones or Ron Paul even though I believe many may miscontrue my statements or intentions.
I just want to get matters Clarified and get to the Truth as I am sure we all will like to.
The following are my comments.
Ron Paul on Coast To Coast AM - Supports A New 9/11 Investigation
During his interview last night on Coast To Coast AM Ron Paul said he supports a new 9/11 investigation.

John McCain Takes Photos With 9/11 Truthers!
I did a quick remix of MNChange's confrontation with McCain, partly to try and help Ron Paul but to also highlight the hypocrisy seeming they want to constantly try and "tar" RP by associating him with 9/11 Truth, well here's an incredibly enthusiastic McCain doing something Ron Paul has never done unfortunately, so where's Faux on this one?
Ron Paul & Swiss Cheese

Topic: Ron Paul
Ron Paul & Swiss Cheese
The perceived threat of Islamic fundamentalism is keeping many voters from considering Ron Paul for president. That perception is based on the official story of 9-11, the swiss cheese of explanations. Pointing out the holes is easy, getting people to look is not, but that is the key to widespread acceptance of his message.
by James Goodfellow
I participated in my precinct Republican Party caucus last weekend. I am happy to announce that Ron Paul won our county. While I was there, I had the opportunity to speak with several people about their candidate of choice. The one position that McCain, Huckabee, et al. supporters completely reject from Ron Paul, and one I couldn't immediately counter in casual conversation, was the threat of Islamic terrorism.

Do You Believe In Life After Paul?
by Caleb Friz
The Ron Paul campaign is over. While he may hang in there for a few more weeks, the hope of Dr. Paul having any sway at a brokered convention has been dashed as he failed to pick up a substantial amount of delegates tonight on Super Tuesday. While he did have some double digit showings in North Dakota, Minnesota, Montana, and Alaska, these winner take all states did not boost his profile in the end. The only strong states he has left are Washington and Texas, but after his poor showing tonight it is unlikely that he will succeed in those states. As much as it hurts me to admit it, Ron Paul is finished.

My comment about Giuliani, the WTC, and WeAreChange under James Kirchick's article "Paul's Pause"
Yesterday, at a very late hour for me, James Kirchick published online in The New Republic his article "Paul's Pause". As it looked at the time like no reader had yet to post even one word in the comments section, I decided to take the opportunity to speak my 9/11 truther mind and point out why it is more important for The New Republic (and Kirchick) to be focused on a few unanswered questions about Rudy Giuliani and 9/11 than on Ron Paul and his newsletters.

Bill Maher brings up "Pet Goat incident" on 1st show back w/ Mark Cuban, Catherine Crier, Tony Snow, Matt Taibbi and PJ O'Rourke
Just ran into the clips of Bill Maher's 1st show back and there were some interesting moments to be had. Reflecting on last year, I still think his big interruption moment of 2007 was rejuvenative on all accounts. Yes, it could have been done with a little bit more finessing, but more important is that it was done. The perfect could have become the enemy of the good in this case. And it got people talking. We need more interruptions done strategically. What we want is people talking, debating, raising the issue. There are many fronts and faces in this challenge. The civil rights movement successfully found a place for the different strategies and styles of Rosa Parks, Malcolm X and MLK. Bill Maher and the rest of corporate media have a long election year ahead of them. It could get more interesting than anyone can imagine.


text: Why do most manager only use relievers for a single inning? Assuming that a reliever is not a LOOGY (and the Rangers have none of those at the moment), why don't all reliever get used for two innings at a time? Assuming the innings pitched by your starters remains fixed, allowing your relievers to go two innings doesn't increase their load, it just distributes it differently. Relievers would pitch two innings, then get an extra day of rest. Has this been shown to adversely affect health or performance? Most relievers are capable of going more than one inning. They are not relievers because they don't have the stamina to pitch two innings. They are reliever because they didn't have the repertoire to go through a batting order multiple times. Pitching two innings would mean that they only face each batter one time, unless they are getting smacked around, in which case they would be pulled anyway. What am I missing? An obvious answer is related to match ups (LHP vs LHB, etc), but how often do you look at the box scores, most of the time, the relievers are coming in when the starter is done, they go one inning, then the next reliever comes in for an inning. This is especially true in the AL. In the NL, relievers tend to come in when the pitcher's slot in the order comes up.

Sidley lawyers recognize their profound responsibility to use their training, skills and experience to provide legal services to the poor and to charitable, religious, community, governmental and educational organizations that otherwise would be unable to afford legal representation. Sidley lawyers also work to protect civil and human rights in this country and throughout the world. Sidley's pro bono program is not bound by political or ideological restrictions, and we encourage our lawyers to bring pro bono matters into the Firm to ensure that their pro bono work is rewarding and satisfying. Sidley is proud of its significant tradition of pro bono service over the years, which is only partially reflected in our annual pro bono reports. Please click here to read our annual pro bono reports.
Sidley's pro bono policy strongly urges all lawyers to devote a significant amount of time to pro bono matters. Sidley subscribes to the Pro Bono Institute's Pro Bono Challenge and has pledged to use its best efforts to contribute annually in pro bono work an amount of time equal to three percent of the firm's total billable hours, or 60 hours. Sidley has met that goal for the last seven years. In determining the compensation of lawyers and in evaluating associates' performance, legal work undertaken for the firm's pro bono clients is considered the same as comparable work for the firm's paying clients—there are no limits on pro bono hours. In 2013, Sidley lawyers, legal assistants and staff devoted over 100,000 hours to pro bono projects.
Sidley's firm-wide Committee on Pro Bono and Public Interest Law coordinates the pro bono practice and makes recommendations to the Firm's governing committees regarding matters of firm pro bono policy. The Committee was instrumental in implementing our four significant firm-wide initiatives, the Capital Litigation Project, the Political Asylum and Immigrants' Rights Project, the Veterans Benefits Project and the Africa-Asia Agricultural Enterprise Program. In addition to these firm-wide projects, Sidley has served pro bono clients in virtually every area of the law, from individual actions to recover disability benefits and child support to major cases affecting voting rights and marriage equality across the country. Another important component of Sidley's pro bono work is its fellowship program, which allows associates to work at nonprofit organizations in the community either before they begin working at the firm or, in the case of the New York office, after they have joined the firm.
The Firm recognizes pro bono contributions by individual lawyers in a number of ways. Our Chicago office presents its annual Thomas H. Morsch Pro Bono Awards for outstanding pro bono work and publishes a list of lawyers who have performed over 60 hours of pro bono work in a given year. The Washington, D.C. office presents the Vincent Prada Pro Bono Awards, honoring those lawyers and legal assistants who devote more than 60 hours to pro bono clients. Our Los Angeles office also honors lawyers who have significant pro bono accomplishments and have devoted substantial time to pro bono in a pro bono awards ceremony each summer. Sidley lawyers also have been widely recognized for their pro bono service by organizations around the country. Read about some of these recent honors.
The spirit that drives Sidley lawyers to spend thousands of hours providing pro bono services extends beyond the courtroom. Sidley contributes to the broader community in both time and money in each of the cities in which it has offices in a variety of ways -- working in local schools, colleges, and law schools, as well as helping homeless individuals, mentoring youth in detention, and providing gifts to needy children over the holidays.
Recent Pro Bono Highlights
In 2012, we launched our fourth firm-wide – and our first global – pro bono initiative. Led by lawyers in our Geneva and Brussels offices, the Africa-Asia Agricultural Enterprise Program recognizes the critical role lawyers can play in helping those in developing countries who produce agricultural goods get their products to market and thereby improve the livelihoods of the world's poorest farmers and other producers and their communities. In creating this program, we recognized that it takes a broad mix of experience and knowledge to provide the holistic services that farmers and small agricultural businesses need to compete in global markets. To that end, we have formed teams of lawyers from all of our offices around the world to provide intellectual property, licensing, contract, financing, export control, international trade, and regulatory advice to our new clients. We also are joining forces with our corporate clients around the world to serve our pro bono clients, recognizing that their in-house lawyers fully share our own commitment to pro bono service.
In the last year we also expanded our commitment to our ongoing firm-wide projects – Capital Litigation, Political Asylum and Immigrants' Rights, and Veterans Benefits – and our other pro bono work in all of our offices around the world, including an increasing number of significant pro bono matters in appellate courts and in the United States Supreme Court. We know that our pro bono work has improved the lives of many people across the country and around the world. We also know that our pro bono service has made us better lawyers and better people, as we use the power of the law to move us toward a more humane world.

By now you must have heard that there was a complete recall of all Irish pork products, due to the discovery of a deadly toxin in the feed being fed to local pigs. No bacon, no sausage, no Sunday pork roasts or chops. I feel just terrible for the good people of this island nation…some of them, no doubt, distant relatives of mine. And if they're anything like me, they'll miss their pork.
To make matters worse, there is now fear that local beef may also be affected. Good grief, what's next? Another potato famine? While this beef crisis isn't a done deal, I'm sure it has everyone in a state of panic. I know corned beef and cabbage isn't really the Irish tradition it's made out to be, but I tend to ignore the facts and rely on my brain's vast collection of stereotypes. And in my mind, those Irish lads and lassies are going to miss their corned beef most of all. *Sniff, sniff.*
And so tonight I plan to raise a pint and make a silent plea for the plight of our Irish friends. May the gods of cattle smile on their gentle herds, and give them back their tasty bacon.

SOLIDARITY! DEFA and Latin America
The DEFA Film Library's 4th East German Summer Film Institute
Please Contact email@example.com with ANY Travel Details!
East German Film Series Cuba-Film Festival
June 25-28, 2007 June 22-24, 2007
Held in the beautiful
Pioneer Valley of western Massachusetts, the DEFA Film Library's biennial Summer
Film Institutes provide an opportunity for scholars to spend a week together in
a relaxed setting watching movies and discussing East German film from a variety
of perspectives. Under the direction of Professor Barton Byg, the 2007 East Film
Institute will explore the relationship between East Germany and Latin America
in the domain of film and filmmaking. The Institute will be preceded by a
weekend Cuba–Film Festival, featuring films about Cuba and by Cuban
directors, which will provide a counterpoint to East German titles screened
during the Institute.
* Exploration and Romanticism
The focus on DEFA and Latin America raises a series of important questions, including:
* How did antifascism and Cold War conflicts
affect relations between the GDR and Latin America?
The classic expression of international solidarity appeared in two world-renowned East German documentaries, Lied der Ströme (Ivens, 1954) and Mein Kind (Ivens & Machalz, 1956). We will also investigate the intensification of Cold War politics manifested in the controversial investigative approaches of documentarists Heynowski and Scheumann. More complex perhaps than documentary films is the relationship of East German feature film production to international relations. Feature films address a wide range of themes, including long-standing European attitudes towards the exotic, postwar internationalist commitment, the experience of exile and Cold War politics. Well-suited to an exploration of the first two themes are films situated in the historic past, such as Die Besteigung des Chimborazo (Simon 1989), which portrays the Latin American expedition of Alexander von Humboldt, and anti-colonial themes in films such as Osceola (Petzold 1971) and Das Licht auf dem Galgen (Nitzschke 1976). Issues of exile and longing are thematized in feature films such as Blonder Tango (Warneke 1986). Analysis of co-productions, such as Kurt Maetzig's Cold War thriller, Preludio 11 (GDR/Cuba, 1964), can give us insight into both representational issues and bi-lateral institutional relations.
The Cuba-Film Festival and East German Summer Film Institute on SOLIDARITY! DEFA and Latin America are made possible with the help of the DEFA Foundation, PROGRESS Film-Verleih, the Max Kade Foundation, the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), the Department of German Studies at Amherst College, the Amherst Cinema Arts Center, the American Friends Service Committee of Western Massachusetts, and German and Scandinavian Studies & Languages, Literatures and Cultures at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.

Painting with children - update!
Posted by: Aitch on Sep 10, 2010
I'm amazed (and indeed a tad embarrassed) to see that it has been nearly 7 months since I wrote the blog post about painting with my grand-daughter. I have only just realised that I never did actually post the finished painting on here, despite my resolution to do just that once I'd charged the battery in my camera.
Anyway, if you remember, the original painting we did together was one by Paul Klee, entitled Senecio. Here is a photo of the original painting:
Here is the painting that my grand-daughter, Evie, completed based on the above:
Finally, here she is looking oh-so-proud of her achievement! :
There's nothing quite like sharing my passion for art with my young grand-daughters. I can't wait for my niece to show an interest in painting and drawing (she's only 15months old but I'm itching to thrust a paintbrush in her hand already!) as children show such pleasure in creating anything.
Apologies for the long delay in posting these photos - I'd almost forgotten about them!

So just looking at some January splits so far in which the Utah Jazz have had 8 games thus far; 5 of them on the road and 3 at home, Utah is 6-2 (better than 6-9 in December where 8 games were on the road and 7 were at home).
Al Jefferson is averaging 19.0 ppg on .504 FG% shooting, .848 FT%, along with 8.9 rpg, 1.1 spg, and 2.5 apg (passing the ball more).
Paul Millsap is averaging 17.9 ppg on .495 FG% shooting, .816 FT%, along with 7.5 rpg, 2.8 apg, 2.2 spg, and 1.0 bpg.
Gordon Hayward is averaging 15.8 ppg shooting .473 FG% .571 3P%, .786 FT%, along with 2.5 rpg and 2.5 apg. And he's doing that in 26.5 mpg. Give him 10 more minutes on the court per game (take Foye's time) and I think we'll see some dividend pay off from that extra time (not just a linear increase of what we're seeing but a little extra in trips to the line and defense).
So for the month of January thus far, Big Al, Millslap, and G-time are averaging about 53 points per game between the three of them.
Randy Foye is also shooting above 50% from the arc (.543) through the 8 games in January thus far, although he hasn't improved anywhere else substantially.
We've also seen Demarre Carroll and Alec Burks getting more time and stepping up their games a bit as well. Both are shooting better than 36% from the 3-point line.
These are all mostly basic offensive stats and nothing too defensively in-depth. I'm sure if I went to one of the many sites available for parametric stats concerning defense efficiency, etc, I could find some encouraging stats there as well. Instead I'll save my time and just say that it's obvious the team has realized they cannot get too comfortable with any large lead, and they have demonstrated a few times in the last month the ability to play strong defense and shut teams out (Dallas, Detroit, Miami).
I know some might say that this is to be expected with Mo Williams out, but it isn't necessarily expected that their shooting, passing, and defense would improve. I think a combination of players realizing they are having to step it up along with just natural expected growth through the season as well as building confidence with different rotations has contributed to the recent trends of this month. Personally, I like it, because if the core players of the Utah Jazz can improve their individual and team game now while Mo is out, hopefully that means Utah will be slightly more versatile, confident, and better all around when Mo comes back healthy.
Hopefully this momentum will continue to build into the series of home games over the next month and a half. I think the best is still yet to come! I also think Utah can realistically move up to the 5th spot in the conference be the end of February/beginning of March (don't forget Stephen Curry is out indefinitely with a sprained ankle so they're likely to be moving down the ladder a little with him out).

How to Get over Being Angry at Someone
We all become and grow angry at times, and usually it's a little hard to calm down and get over. As time passes by, anger genuinely fades away and our regular life and mood returns to normal. The hardest time is when you're angry at someone or at something that has hurt or made you...Angry. But always remember that anger at someone sometimes never fades, even at the time when that person apologizes. Yes you probably forgive the person, but if you didn't really mean it then there's a problem....
1Try to calm down. The only cure to being angry at her/him is to calm down! Try to imagine that maybe it wasn't that person's fault...Or that person had no choice...Just try to sympathize with that person and her/him's situation/s.Ad
2Recover from total anger, hatred, or sorrow and start planning how you would confront that person and explain what you think and what you feel about him/her.
3Don't let it pull you down. Anger will only keep you in the worst of dispositions and if you don't recover in any way, it could affect your daily routine ...It would be a nagging pest at the back of your mind that won't leave. So the only alternative is that you forgive the person; or explain to her/him the misunderstanding.
4Take everything easy. Don't get mad at the entire world. If you can't get over the fact that you're made to become angry by that specific person. Try to get rid of the misunderstanding or problem as soon as possible.Ad
Are you an expert on facials?
If so, share what you know about how to give yourself a facial.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
We are a bit smarter today because of you.
- Calm yourself and remember that if you don't get rid of your anger, you won't ever wear that cheerful smile and if you don't wear that smile; you'll stay miserable and probably start to worry.
- CLEAR the matter as soon as possible, just get it over and done with and clear your mood of any anger towards that person. Remember that time will pass, and this little meager anger of yours will soon leave you for good-and for the better.
- Take the situation lightly, make it as though it's not a big deal and soon you'll get over what you feel about her/him.
- Anger could lead to hatred...Hatred is a really strong grudge.
- Don't stay angry for more then two days or a week
- Don't leave the problem to clear up its mess by itself. DO something to prevent it by totally refraining from anger.

We've had insurance for 18months with pet pals. Our shar pei developed a skin condition this summer which has been costing us between £20-£60 every few weeks. The next step was to have £300 blood tests to find out if it was an allergy. Pet pals would not pay for this saying we were not covered for that particular illness despite telling me when I took out the policy that we would be. Shar Pei's are known to have skin conditions so I made sure when taking out the policy this would be covered… Read Full Review

Cheap premiums but unfortunately you get what you pay for. They refused to pay for the majority of our claim for very spurious reasons for what should have been a relatively straight forward visit to the vet. They will only pay for investigations if they give a positive result even if the investigation was justified. If you put in a complaint, they do not give you the opotunity to explain your complaint, the simply conduct a "review" of your case, then refuse the claim again. They have very… Read Full Review

This company seems to employ "smarmy" staff who take great delight informing people they are not covered for their claim. I'm in the process of making a claim and have been told that I'm not covered. I received a Notice of Change which is a very misleading document which lead to me to believe my policy had been updated. The male that dealt with me was rubbing it in that I wasn't covered and even swore under his breath when I was pleading my claim. The other members of staff are untrained… Read Full Review

Once again I thought I had made a big mistake choosing them for my pet insurers! 2 weeks later I recieved another letter saying my claim will be reviewed within 10 days.

Similar situation, they are a total disgrace!!!
We have had to pay out £250 for the x-rays, £50 for the vet fees and £1500 for the operation. When disputing their policy they even put the phone down on us, by the way they have been taking money off me for 3 years.
I am taking this up with the Ombudsman and would urge you all to do the same as i believe this company needs to be exposed for what it is, PETFRAUD!!!!

Worst insurance company ever. When you take out the insurance they mention a few things that are not covered, fair enough, but what they don't say is that any claim must fall into very specific and narrow boundaries. My dog has had to have a number of treatments at the vet and petpals have refused to cover every one of them, from leg surgery to xrays, to grass seed removal (all pretty common ailments for an active dog). I have had 2 vets while with petpals due to a house move and both have been… Read Full Review

Do not waste your money with this insurer as they will not pay out, even for things that are clearly listed in their policy. They will flat out refuse to pay for any claim and that's if you're even able to get in touch with them as they are highly elusive.

Even after watching and being an Oakland fan since 1966, I still cant get a round-turn on the personnel moves. I had hoped for Miller and Asoumgha to remain Raiders for life.......
During the lockout that suspended FA there was much talk concerning the retention of Nnamdi and Zach Miller. The Nation pretty much had said bye bye to Gallery who wanted too much cash, enabling him to be denied and leave to pursue his sea-daddy, Cable, in Seattle.
Miller and Asoumgha were different stories. The mysteries surrounding the machinations of Mr Davis' choices/actions didnt really point a direction, for me at least, where we would go with retaining these guys that pretty much all of us agreed were heart and soul players, and needed in Oakland for success.
Miller had no catches against Atlanta in Seattle's 30-28 loss. Asoumgha was burned by Crabtree in Phillie's meltdown agains the 49ers.
Philadelphia is suffering from surrendering ten touchdown passes. This video link says it all:
The myth of being a shutdown corner has evaporated with his departure to Philly. As one astute commenter said in another thread, he plays man, but in Philly they don't, so what did they expect?
Seattle Miller has 5 catches for 41 yds/0 TDs. Gallery is once again, broke-dick.
***Kevin Boss has 6 catches for 114 yards/0 TDs and an average of 19 yards.

I made the dress to look like the old school troll dolls, a really simple felt dress. For the hair, I used a topiary foam cone found at a craft store.

The dividend and the buyback is what's driving the stock up, not the revenue/EPS numbers which came in just about what Wall Street was expecting.
I don't think the spike is due to the promise of buy back or dividends. Reaction to that doesn't happen immediately. Instead, the spike is due to Apple basically hitting the analyst numbers.

The Arizona Diamondbacks say outfielder Adam Eaton's injured left elbow has an irritation but no structural damage.
Still, it's a setback for Eaton, who has been on the disabled list all season. The Diamondbacks say he will spend two to three weeks doing strengthening exercises, then begin a throwing program.
Eaton was within days of his scheduled return to the Diamondbacks when he felt discomfort in the elbow during a rehab start Monday for Triple-A Reno. He returned for an examination Tuesday.
The rookie had been slated to start in center field and bat leadoff this season.

NCAA to Athletes in CO & WA: No Weed
On Tuesday, voters in Colorado and Washington approved the legalization of recreational marijuana use (while the state amendments passed, using marijuana is still in violation of federal law and the issue is far from being settled in those states).
Those amendments, however, does not apply to NCAA athletes at schools in those states, as marijuana use remains a violation of the organization's substance abuse policies.
The NCAA released the following statement on Wednesday afternoon:
"The legalization of marijuana in Colorado and Washington does not impact the NCAA drug testing rules. The NCAA banned drug and testing policies are not tied to whether a substance is legal for general population use, but rather whether the substance is considered a threat to student-athlete health and safety or the integrity of the game."
Both the NFL and NBA also emphasized earlier Wednesday that marijuana use is prohibited for all players regardless of state laws.
So for those aspiring college athletes hoping to base their school choice on the state's drug laws, those plans just went up in smoke.

Few people are man/woman enough to openly answer any and all questions thrown at them.
Are you?
Prove it.
Copy/Paste this as a new journal entry and answer every question you get.
The rules are simple:
-You must answer every question you get no matter what it's about, and you must do so honestly
-There are no questions that can not be asked as long as they are within reason. They can be personal, about OCs, and everything in between.
Yeah, I decided, why not do this. So, ask away.

Country Radio - Observations From A Second Storey Window (Original 45)
This track originally appeared, in shorter form, on the 1971 Country Radio LP "Fleetwood Plain". This upload, though, is from the flipside of the excellet "Wintersong" single, released in Australia in November 1972. It was issued on an Infinity 45, INK-4908. While the A. side was an original studio recording, this flipside was lifted from the LP "Country Radio Live" which had been recorded at Armstrong Studios, Melbourne, in October 1972 with a small audience. There's a little bit of crackle on this upload, due to the tight groove on a 5 minute+ record, and also due to the 45 having spent the earlier part of it's life being ground into a radio station turntable felt. I could have declicked it, but it would have made the music a bit dull, so, I've left it as is. This upload is from the original 45. *** If you like my channel, why not SUBSCRIBE? I have, literally, thousands of tracks I can upload as time permits, and, by subscribing, you'll be one of the first to know about them. ***

Nothing can stop Raj Thackeray, I guess.
All he wanted was a space in our daily newspaper and he's getting enough space.
Blame his success for our spine-less govt or sympathetic Mumbai Police force, but he's here to stay. The success he achieved with Jet Airways lay-off episode shows us that even educated Mumbaikars trust him more for solution than the Sens-led Union!

Cam Meyer will be determined to hold onto the ochre jersey, Luke Roberts wants the KOM and a contract with Saxo, Robbie wants to prove he's not too old, Richie Porte wants to prove his loss of time the other day was a brain fart, and Gossy just wants the ochre back!
My money's on Meyer to hold on...my heart still wants Mcewen to be wearing ochre at the end of this, but he probably has two chances: Buckley's and none.

It has been nice but meh, I don't like dem badges system and the new online games… Keeps getting worse, upgrade-based, MMOstyle, or w/e and most of em are not skill based or fun to play. No offense to greg or something. I just find myself playing too many silly games for badges while it doesn't satisfy in any way, and I don't want to connect to the community because it's not really my thing to make internet buddies and stuff. So there's not really a reason for me to stay
Anyway, that's it, cya guys

A hacker gained access to the Social Security and credit information for 77 percent of the state population of South Carolina, prompting an incensed response from Governor Nikki Haley Friday.
"I want this person slammed against the wall," Haley said at a press conference, WIS-TV reported. "I want that man just brutalized."
Haley said that the unidentified culprit, based outside of the U.S., gained access to 3.6 million Social Security numbers as well as 387,000 credit and debit card numbers last month in one of several attempts to hack the state department of revenue's website beginning in late August. Authorities discovered the breaches earlier this month.
Department officials said only about 16,000 of the credit card numbers were truly vulnerable, as they lacked the industry-standard encryption to resist such attacks. But The Charleston Post & Courier reported that the Social Security information was completely unencrypted.
Haley said she knew where the hacker was based but did not reveal that information, saying she did not want to affect the investigation into the matter. But her response to the matter has been criticized by state Democrats.
"You don't leave victims exposed to further criminalization so you can catch the perpetrator," state Rep. Leon Stavrinakis told the newspaper.
WIS' report on the cyber-attack, aired Friday, can be seen below.
