K.C. Masterpiece® Original Barbecue Sauce
K.C. Masterpiece® Original Barbecue Sauce
Even though it's now owned and produced by the Clorox Company,
the taste of Original K. C. Masterpiece barbecue sauce is the
same as when it was first created in good ole' Kansas City,
USA. This is the sauce that steals awards from all the other
popular slathers on the market. It's now even is sold in a
variety of flavors. But this is the clone for the original,
and you'll find it very easy to make. Just throw all of the
ingredients in a saucepan, crank it up to a boil, then simmer
for about an hour. Done deal. And just like the original
Masterpiece, this stuff will make a work of art out of any
of your grilled meats, or burgers and sandwiches; and as a
dipping sauce or marinade.
2 cups water
3/4 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup tomato paste
1/2 cup vinegar
3 tablespoons molasses
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1. Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan over high heat
and whisk until smooth.
2. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 45
to 60 minutes or until mixture is thick.
3. Cool, then store in a covered container in the refrigerator
overnight so that flavors can develop.
Makes 1 1/2 cups.
Liquid smoke is a flavoring found near the barbecue sauces and
marinades. Use hickory-flavored liquid smoke if you have a choice.

As only Charlie could put it:
Gary Bettman is, without question, the biggest bag of hammers in the history of professional sports. He's already masterminded one lockout that cost the NHL — and its tremendously loyal fan base — an entire season, whereby the Cup had to spend two years in (gah!) Tampa, and through which Bettman and his owners got practically everything they wanted, and now he's locked out the players again. Hockey has spent 80 years behaving as though it were owned by the Marx Brothers.

I am a little bit surprised that Peyton Hillis' contract hasn't been a topic of conversation thus far this pre-season. Even though we constantly hear what a nice, humble and pleasant guy Peyton Hillis is – and I've now seen it with my own eyes at camp – I still can't believe we haven't talked about his contract status. Peyton Hillis is still on his rookie deal from the 2008 draft when he was selected 227th in the 7th round by Denver. This season he is set to make a paltry (at least by NFL standards) $555,000.
Despite being the John Madden video game cover boy, Hillis truly is just a one-year wonder at this point. Still, that was a pretty substantial year as Hillis was 6th in the NFL in terms of yards from scrimmage. He had some fumbling problems as well, but let's not pretend like he and his agent couldn't have postured their way into forcing the Cleveland Browns to give him an extension sooner than the expiration date on his contract.

SOHH Whatcha Think: Jada Pinkett-Smith Talks Divorce Rumors + Obama Rides With Jay-Z?!
Friday, Apr 13, 2012 11:22AM
In celeb years, a 4-year marriage is more like 8, and a ten year marriage is more like a lifetime, which is why you hate to hear stories of Will and Jada possibly splitting. Well, Jada recently came forward to set the record straight about any impending divorce.
[Editor's Note: The views expressed in this column do not necessarily reflect those of SOHH.com]
During a recent interiew Will's wifey explained the couple spends so much time apart because of their hectic work schedule and that she hopes the separation stories will soon die down.
"Every year, a celebrity couple is on the radar. This year, unluckily, it's us! I almost want to say that we should have been expecting it," she told Gala France. "But Will and I know the truth. We are waiting peacefully for when the storm ends." "These rumors are completely untrue. I'm traveling a lot because of my work, as Will does. And the fact that I'm accompanying our daughter, Willow, on her trips, while Will spends time with our son, Jaden, doesn't make things easier."(Bossip)
She went on to add that they strive to keep as normal of a life as possible.
"But our way of living hasn't changed. Before the children, we were already away from each other quite often because of our work. In general, Will and I take two months of holiday, at the end of the year. Right after Thanksgiving, we shut down the curtain and nothing comes to bother our family life until January."(WENN)
Cool to see Jada address it in such a classy way. SOHH Watcha Think: Do celeb couples owe it to their fans to keep them in the loop regarding their love lives? Ri-Ri doesn't think so apparently. Not too long ago, Rihanna ended an interview after being asked about her love life. Check out the vid below:
Well d*mn. Guess some things are better left untouched.
In other news ... gotta love Obama. After calling Yeezy a jackass a while back, he's still down to admit the G.O.O.D. Music boss is a talented fellow, even though he picks Jigga as the better MC.
President Barack Obama enjoyed a boost from the Hip Hop community during his 2008 presidential campaign, and has long been linked with Jay-Z, as well as other Hip Hop artists. Prior to a pair of fundraisers, an interviewer for theatlantic.com managed to ask the President which emcee from The Throne he prefers: Kanye West or Jay-Z. "Jay-Z," replied the President, before adding, "Although I like Kanye. He's a Chicago guy. Smart. He's very talented." "Even though you called him a jackass?" asked the interviewer, citing a 2009 incident in which the President was caught on camera having some harsh words for Kanye after he took the spotlight from Taylor Swift at the MTV Video Music Awards. "He is a jackass," retorted Obama, who added with a wink, "But he's talented."(HHDX)
Before you go, we touched on artists losing their cool during interviews earlier: Peep how Nicki Minaj goes in on this interviewer for suggesting she may have "sold out."

Book Review: Black is for Beginnings
Blue Is For Nightmares, Book 5 - by Laurie Faria Stolarz. Title: Black is for Beginnings. Author: Laurie Faria Stolarz. Genre: Young Adult Graphic Novel. Paperback: 168 pages. Publisher: Flux (September 1, 2009). Description: Prophetic nightmares. Near-brushes with death. Killers pursuing her and her friends. Stacey Brown knows that being a hereditary witch isn't all it's cracked up to be. All she really wants to do is work things out with Jacob and figure out what to do with the rest of her life. But before Stacey and Jacob can have a future, they must face their pasts. Black is for Beginnings reveals the never-before-seen backstory, and what lies ahead for the young, spellcasting lovers. It's happening again... My Review: I read Blue is for Nightmares back when I was, um, younger. Wasn't a huge fan. At all. I just didn't enjoy the vibes coming off the book. I wasn't interested in reading more. So why did I read this? I don't know. After I left the library with it I was questioning my sanity. The majority... okay, okay, all of the book was annoying. Trying to be hip. And down with the kids. The romance and angst were irritating. The big annoyance was the main character: Stacey. She was extremely insecure.
Insecurity, like feistiness, if done wrong, can make you hate a character. From my experience. Insecurity can become a chronic whining and moaning. Feistiness is often another, nicer, word for extreme bitchiness. Of course, this insecurity was enhanced by the fact that this is a graphic novel. Every unsure glance. Every drawn brow. Every constipated expression. For heaven's sake her face on the cover is exactly what I am talking about. Anyway, the book is all about Stacey's insecurity, her regret and her self-absorption. Nothing much besides that, of interest (key phrase here), was really happening. The ending was a killer for me. Stacey, obviously gets the dude, but she has to ask if her likes her. "Do you hate me? You do right? I bet you think I am dumb and ugly!" Omg! I was about to die. She never gains any confidence. Would have enjoyed some character growth here! Well, they're teens, one can only hope that relationship crashes and burns. Sorry I always get like this, acting like it's all real, when characters or a plot/story annoys me greatly. My rating is 1/5. Would not recommend this book. Unless you love the author and her Blue series. Or if you are an immense junkie of GNs.
I Need to Think Happy Thoughts
Or i'm not going to make it through the day. Here's a happy thought: my daughter just had her first taste of chocolate! And what did she do? she immediately began to demand more. Smart kid. It has been brought to my attention that she was not given the chocolate, she stole it. It's probably evidence that i'm a terrible parent that this fact fills me with a certain frisson of pride. You should see her though. Most of the time, when she finds things, her first impulse is to give it to whomever is standing nearby. It's the cutest thing in the world. The fact that she kept the chocolate for herself is merely evidence that she's a normal human being. Could have fooled me, I see daily signs that she's an angel. This is a child who is loved. I want so much to give her everything that will make her strong, confident and secure. At the very least, I don't want her to ever, for one second, have to doubt or question that she is loved, absolutely unconditionally. God willing she's escaped her father's brain chemistry. That being the case, I'll do what I can.
Solar Charge Controller
Passionate about electronic or wanting to become a good electronics engineer, then you are in the right place. On electroschematics.com you will find a dedicated community of smart and innovative people, that will help you develop your skills and improve your knowledge. You can initiate conversations regarding branches of electronics that you are interested in and we provide you valuable information and advice. You can always ask us questions if you have any difficulty in understanding our projects or our articles and we promise prompt responses. A charge controller or charge regulator is a voltage and a current regulator to keep batteries from overcharging. It regulates the voltage and current coming from solar panels going to the battery. A charge controller is usually useful. A fully charged "12 volt'" battery is around 12.7 volts at rest, so the panel has to put out at least that much under worst case conditions. Contrary to intuition, solar panels work best at cooler temperatures.
Roughly, a panel rated at 100 watts at room temperature will be an 83 watt panel at 110 degrees. If you use a standard controller, it will often work with high voltage panels if the maximum input voltage of the charge controller is not exceeded. However, there is going to be a lot of lost power, from 20% to 60% of what your panel is rated at. Charge controls come in all shapes, features, sizes and price ranges and in 3 general types. Circuitry that functions as a charge regulator controller may consist of several electrical components or may be encapsulated in a single microchip, an integrated circuit usually called a charge controller IC or charge control IC. We invite you to find out more about the low dropout voltage (LDO) solar charge controller that uses a simple differential amplifier and series channel MOSFET linear regulator. Voltage output is adjustable and it's mainly intended for charging 12V lead-acid batteries.

Candy Memories
Coming from a large family, we each got 5 cents a week to spend at school for the candy station. It was so hard to see the other children get their pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters out EVERY day, and we had to wait until Fridays. So, in a child's mind, I thought I would be able to make the Kits and B.B. Bats at home. (while mom was out of the kitchen, of course) Peanut Butter and sugar in hand, I tried to mold a hunk into a little square. Or, a toothpick was used when trying to make a B.B. Bat. When it wouldn't get hard, I had thoughts of using the oven to 'dry it out', but knew that I shouldn't. So, second best idea was to let it 'dry' out on the counter. Needless to say, I could never get my 'recipe' to taste like the ones that I had to wait to buy on Friday's. HHmmmmm......... I think I always chose the Kits, because one penny gave you 5 pieces of candy!! Thrifty, even back as a child. All the penny candy is such a wonderful memory. Glad I found your site by accident. ~ Patricia from Ohio

Scripture: Luke 7:31-35
31 "To what then shall I compare the men of this generation, and what are they like? 32 They are like children sitting in the market place and calling to one another, `We piped to you, and you did not dance; we wailed, and you did not weep.' 33 For John the Baptist has come eating no bread and drinking no wine; and you say, `He has a demon.' 34 The Son of man has come eating and drinking; and you say, `Behold, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' 35 Yet wisdom is justified by all her children."
Meditation: What do childrens' games have to do with the kingdom of God? Games are the favorite pastime of children who play until their energy is spent. The more interaction the merrier the game. The children in Jesus' parable react with disappointment because they cannot convince others to join in their musical play. They complain that when they make merry music such as played at weddings, no one dances or sings along; and when they play mournful tunes for sad occasions such as funerals, it is the same dead response. This refrain echoes the words of Ecclesiastes 3:4, there is a time to weep and a time to laugh; a time to mourn and a time to dance. Both joyful and sad occasions - such as the birth of a child and the homecoming of a hero or the loss of a loved one and the destruction of a community or nation - demand a response. To show indifference, lack of interest or support , or disdain, is unfitting and unkind.
Jesus' message of the kingdom of God is a proclamation of good news that produces great joy and hope for those who will listen; but it is also a warning of disaster for those who refuse to accept God's gracious offer. Why did the message of John the Baptist and the message of Jesus meet with resistance and deaf ears? It was out of jealously and spiritual blindness that the scribes and Pharisees attributed John the Baptist's austerities to the devil and they attributed Jesus' table fellowship as evidence for messianic pretense. They succeeded in frustrating God's plan for their lives because they had closed their hearts to the message of John the Baptist and now they close their ears to Jesus.
What can make us spiritually dull and slow to hear God's voice? Like the generation of Jesus' time, our age is marked by indifference and contempt, especially in regards to the things of God's kingdom. Indifference dulls our ears to God's voice and to the good news of the gospel. Only the humble of heart who are hungry for God can find true joy and happiness. Do you listen to God's word with expectant faith and the willingness to trust and obey?
"Lord Jesus, open my ears to hear the good news of your kingdom and set my heart free to love and serve you joyfully. May nothing keep me from following you wholeheartedly."
Psalm 111:1-6
1 Prasie the LORD. I will give thanks to
the LORD
with my whole heart, in the company of the upright, in the
2 Great are the works of the LORD, studied by all who have pleasure in them.
3 Full of honor and majesty is his work, and his righteousness endures for ever.
4 He has caused his wonderful works to be remembered; the LORD is gracious and merciful.
5 He provides food for those who fear him; he is ever mindful of his covenant.
6 He has shown his people the power of his works, in giving them the heritage of the nations.

My sister talked about doing work for it a while back. Not sure what role she played. She mentioned the idea coming from ST.
Found an article from 2007 to introduce the idea:
Ion Propulsion: From Star Trek to NASA
From April 2009:
NASA Trumps Star Trek: Ion Drive Live!
awesome! perhaps someday we'll have warp to go with our new ion drives
Um... "Ion Drives" have been a staple in science fiction since at least the early 1930's. The basic idea behind the "electric rocket" is an old one that actually was first suggested (although not in it's current form) by Tesla at the turn of the century. We have actualy been using "ion thrusters" on satillites since shortly after TELSTAR, as ACS thrusters. Only in the late 1980's and early 1990's have this very old idea been used for actual propulsion in cometary probes like DS-1 or the lunar SMART probes.

Authorities say man found dead in Oxnard mobile home killed himself after shooting cousin
Authorities Tuesday determined that a 40-year-old man found dead in a motor home Sunday killed himself after shooting his cousin several times.
Oxnard police Sgt. Christopher Williams said early in the investigation that information on the death and injuries was inconclusive but that no suspects or weapons were missing.
Police later said Eduardo Zarate Farias shot his cousin several times in the upper body for unknown reasons before shooting himself.
"It was a bit of a complicated mess," said Craig Stevens, a Ventura County senior deputy medical examiner. "But we have determined that this was a suicide."
Farias recently had moved to Oxnard after being a transient in the El Monte area, Stevens said. An autopsy found he died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
Williams said Farias and the wounded man, whose condition was stable, are cousins.
He added that the victim has cooperated and given police a preliminary statement but did not elaborate.
Williams said investigators are interviewing witnesses and family members to determine what led to the shooting.
The shooting was reported about noon Sunday in the 4500 block of Syracuse Drive, police said.
(View a map of the 4500 block of Syracuse Drive.)
Officers found a man, about 39, with gunshot wounds in front of the motor home and surrounded it.
The injured man, who is reportedly from out of the county, was taken to Ventura County Medical Center in Ventura, officials said.
When officers arrived Sunday, they learned another man possibly was injured in the mobile home and later found Farias dead inside, officials said. The gun was recovered at the scene, police said.
This is the second case in as many months in Oxnard involving two victims and confusing circumstances.
On May 4, Juan Ruiz Benitez, 39, and Guadalupe Gutierrez, 54, were found shot to death in a car in the 600 block of South D Street.
Investigators determined this month that Benitez shot and killed Gutierrez before killing himself. The weapon was not found at the scene, leading investigators to think the incident could have been a double homicide. It was learned later that the weapon was taken after the shootings.
The latest case is a little different.
"We have a surviving victim that will hopefully be able to shed some light to what occurred, and we will be able to compare that with the physical evidence at the scene," Williams said.
Anyone with information about Sunday's incident may call Detective Ken Tougas at 200-5669. Those wishing to remain anonymous may call the violent-crimes hotline at 982-7070 or Ventura County Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477.

Halloween is kinda awesome. I don't really have much more to say, so:
What'd you do for Halloween? Bonus points for extra cute costumes (for those with kids), hilarious and/or slutty costumes (for everyone else), and scandalous stories.
The No. 3-ranked California volleyball team (19-1, 9-1 Pac-10) earned a three-set victory (28-26, 25-22, 25-19) over Oregon State (8-16, 1-9 Pac-10) at Gill Coliseum on Friday, Oct. 29. The Golden Bears were led by sophomore opposite hitter Correy Johnson, who had 10 kills (2e, 20att, .400) to go with four blocks and a service ace. Junior outside hitter Tarah Murrey added 14 kills (7e, 45att, .156) and three blocks of her own as Cal moved one victory closer to a fifth-consecutive 20-win season.

Ete und Ali (Ete and Ali)
Ete and Ali are discharged from the army. While most of the ex-recruits rush to catch the first train home, Ete and Ali stay behind, not sure what to do next. Ali's hometown is a desolate place with not a soul waiting for him. Ete has just found out that his wife has been cheating him. The two friends are extremely different: Ali is good-natured, a somewhat gawky giant of a fellow, and a bundle of energy. Ete, on the other hand, is slight of build, shy and unable to hurt even a fly. The enterprising Ali suggests they head for Prague or Eisleben where the hottest women are supposed hang out. But they need their I.D. cards for such a trip and these are back home. So off they go to Ete's place after all. Ali wants to stand by his friend, so he throws out Mary's lover and encourages Ete and Mary to make up. Initially, the reconciliation works, but Ali's clumsiness prevents things from working out in this relationship, despite Ete's well-meant, though rather odd, efforts to set up home and house. On the day of the house-warming, Ete leaves, convinced that Mary and Ali are hitting it off. Much later, Ete and Ali bump into each other again. Ali still wants to talk Ete into going on the trip to Eisleben. But Ete has become more assertive and self-confident and flatly turns down the offer. A comedy in the tradition of Ernst Lubitsch, Billy Wilder and Woody Allen...with a little Laurel and Hardy mixed in.

Found April 18, 2013 on Pirates Prospects:
PLAYERS: AJ Burnett, Clint Barmes, Felix Hernandez, Gio Gonzalez, Matt Holliday, Russell Martin, Carlos Beltran, Neil Walker, Matt Carpenter, Travis Snider
TEAMS: Pittsburgh Pirates, Seattle Mariners, Washington Nationals, St. Louis Cardinals
TEAMS: Pittsburgh Pirates, Seattle Mariners, Washington Nationals, St. Louis Cardinals
A.J. Burnett's almost-perfect outing helped the Pirates to a 5-0 win. So many events have to go right for a no-hitter to happen. We sometimes lose sight of that, living in this Golden Age of 23 no-hitters in the last six years. Even with no-hitters becoming almost as common an occurrence as Clint Barmes home runs, they still require a potent combination of talent and good fortune to come true (you know, like a Clint Barmes home run). When looking at A.J. Burnett taking a perfect game into the 6th inning and a no-hitter into the 7th inning of Wednesday night's win over the St. Louis Cardinals, it is important to look at both skill and luck. Talent and Skill Burnett generated nine swings-and-misses on Cardinals hitters, which actually is about average for the veteran pitcher in any particular start. Thing is, Burnett's "average" is quite good for getting batters to whiff. His swinging-strike rate since the start of 2011 is better than that of aces like Felix Hernandez and Gio Gonzalez. "I'm throwing balls and they're missing," Burnett told Pirates Prospects' Tom Bragg. "I'm just attacking." Attacking indeed, as Burnett threw first-pitch strikes on 14 of the 23 hitters he faced. Perhaps the most impressive sequence was Burnett getting slugger Matt Holliday to swing and miss at two curveballs, including this one to retire him at the end of Burnett's 4th inning on his way to eight strikeouts. Eight of Burnett's 10 swings-and-misses were generated by his curve, with two coming on his four-seam fastball (which touched 94 mph early on). Those two pitches, with a few sinkers tossed in, were all Burnett needed to stymie the Cards' offense. That's right, stymie. But do not forget the talent of Russell Martin behind the plate. He called a game that included seven ground-ball outs, but one pitch in particular stands out. In the top of the second, Carlos Beltran worked the count to 2-2, but was struck out looking on this sinker. That was a nice frame by Martin to get the strike-three call from home plate umpire Adrian Johnson. Look at where the ball was when it crossed the plate. I don't want to gush, because you will see Martin frame far better pitches than this over the season, but his ability to consistently draw strike calls on close pitches like the one above will help Burnett, who had trouble with walks in his last couple years with the Yankees. Good Fortune Second baseman Neil Walker looked smooth play in the 4th inning to rob Matt Carpenter of a hit, but many of the other balls in play were hit toward Pirates fielders. Burnett mostly limited the balls hit to the outfield, but a pair of line drives later in the start were directed right at Travis Snider in left field, which is the kind of good luck a pitcher relies on to twirl a gem. Right before Beltran got the Cardinals' first hit with two outs in the 7th, Burnett made a fine play on a dribbler off the bat of Holliday, making a throw to first that just barely beat him. Exhale. In a combination of good pitching and good luck (that the Cardinals were not swinging at them), Burnett threw 20 called strikes that got him ahead in counts. "I had a good hook today and threw some balls in I don't normally throw in and it caught them off guard," Burnett said. Unfortunately for Burnett, good fortune can only get you so far, and his velocity was dropping as he approached the 100-pitch mark. It would have taken some more luck to seal the deal, even if he had retired Beltran. Courtesy of Brooks Baseball Ultimately, it wasn't to be for Burnett on Wednesday night. Instead, it became the seventh game in his career that he pitched 6+ innings of one-hit baseball. Hell, maybe it was because the Cardinals were stealing signs. Burnett already has his no-hitter safely in hand, getting it on May 12, 2001 in San Diego, despite nine walks. After this one and his near-no-hitter at Wrigley Field last year, it's not difficult to see Burnett orchestrating another attempt at a perfect game. Everything just has to come together. For now, Pirates fans can just enjoy Burnett making the Cardinals look like a far lesser team. Not perfect, but still beautiful.

The task of synthesizing algorithm-based checking techniques for general applications is investigated. The problem is approached at the compiler level by identifying linear transformations in Fortran DO loops and restructuring program statements to convert nonlinear transformations to linear ones. System-level checks based on this property are proposed. The approach is demonstrated with example problems of matrix multiplication and the LINPACK routine: DGEFA.

text: The Bengals are making some good moves for the defense. Starting to think that MB might be trying to build a winning team (just a little). Now its time to look at the offense. Jason Snelling would be a good add to the offense. He runs hard and can catch out the backfield. I think he would be and upgrade then Benson. I know Benson has played well for the Bengals but his off field problems put the Bengals in a spot. If we could sign Snelling it would be a plus for the offense.

There's no surprise that many of us disagree with Mark Kiszla, but his latest article on the Rockies was especially bad. I didn't think he could possibly anger me further, and I was extremely wrong.
My internet failed last night and I've been traveling all of today so I was unable to post it. However, the post that I was going to make was so impassioned that I felt the need to post it here. This is what I wrote:
Wow Mark, this is a slap in the face to true Rockies fans.
To be honest, I didn't think any of the Dodgers moves aside from acquiring Ted Lilly were of high impact--and if you want to convince yourself that Scott Podsednik is an upgrade over Dexter Fowler, go ahead. Theriot is probably a DOWNGRADE from Blake DeWitt, and Octavio Dotel has been having an overrated season. None of those players could have helped us. How about a guy like Jorge Cantu, you may ask? The guy plays awful defense at all 3 positions he plays and has been non-existent offensively since a scorching April. Additionally, if Aaron Cook continues to pitch poorly, we have an internal fix in Jhoulys Chacin. De La Rosa, Francis, and Hammel have been very, very good as of late, so wasting prospects on back end of the rotation starters is not worth it. This is how the Rockies have imploded in past seasons. Remember the acquisition of Jacob Cruz? We gave up a future rookie of the year in that deal (Jody Gerut). Remember Kimera Bartee? Of course not, but we traded for him in return for Chone Figgins. Essentially what you're suggesting is to make a deal JUST to make a deal. Get real Mark; these types of moves have destroyed the Rockies in the past. It doesn't have to do with a cheap front office (which is, by the way, paying the largest payroll in Rockies history this season), it is intelligent baseball management. Not to mention, if the need for a deal really does come up, don't forget about the existence of waiver deals.
Also, to address your criticisms of CF, catcher and 3B, let me feed you some numbers. Sure, Chris Iannetta hasn't hit for much average, but he has a phenomenal .820 OPS and has 2 walk off homers on the season--and he's our BACK up catcher this season. Ian Stewart hasn't been as bad as you seem to tell yourself with great defense at 3rd base, solid power production and most important of all: HE'S 25. Fowler also hasn't hit for much average this point, but actually gets on base at a similar clip to Carlos Gonzalez (fueled by an amazing 39 walks, a GREAT sign for a young player) and plays unreal defense. Also, he's 24 YEARS OLD. These are three players that you would probably give up for a relief pitcher or a 5th starter and regret deeply in a few years. You must think that the 2003 Expos acquisition of Cleveland ace Bartolo Colon was a smart move. Do the names Grady Sizemore, Brandon Phillips, and Cliff Lee ring any bells?
As for free agency, I can't believe that you can claim to follow the Rockies and still think free agency is the best way to build a team. What got us to our last two playoff berths? A big bopper like Adam Dunn? More DINGERZ and less defense for your pitchers? Didn't think so. Again, this still isn't about wallets, this is about intelligent decisions.
Finally, you say that people showing up to the ballpark even with a so called 'mediocre' team, which I still disagree with given that this nearly identical team with identical coaching won 93 games last season, is a bad thing. You know what that actually shows to me? A fan base. I've probably seen more Rockies hats and apparel in the last two years than I did in the last 8 years before that combined. But no, of course, that just shows that Denver fans are apathetic. SO apathetic that they show up in droves to the stadium. That makes a lot of sense, doesn't it?
Ultimately, the Rockies haven't played up to their potential this season, there's no doubt about that. But unless you're a believer that making a trade jumpstarts a team, which is a very risky position to take, you'll have a hard time convincing me that acquiring a player would have helped the Rockies substantially enough this season to warrant foregoing a potential decade of dominance. I hope young baseball fans in Colorado that weren't around to see the folly of the early 2000s and late 1990s Rockies aren't fooled by this article.
PS – Manny Corpas has given up one earned run in his last 10.2 IP. Not that you'd be paying attention anyways.

Securities Law
Milberg Sued Over Kickback Claims
Posted Aug 3, 2007 1:15 PM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
Milberg Weiss Bershad & Schulman is facing a lawsuit over allegations it paid kickbacks to plaintiffs to help it secure lead counsel status in securities class actions.
The suit was filed by six class members in a number of securities suits in which Milberg Weiss served as lead counsel, the Wall Street Journal (sub. req.) reports. The Wall Street Journal's Law Blog posted the complaint.
The law firm was indicted last year on charges of paying the kickbacks. David Bershad pleaded guilty to conspiracy in connection with the case last month. The firm has vowed to fight the charges.

What a painting "means" is useless and has likely always been so.
The new freedom will be to own our own experience of what is being viewed. The notion that anyone can "know" what the artist intended is preposterous. All the knowledge in the world about what was in the artist's mind can never get you inside the artists head.
My own paintings have never been about what I had to say or what I was trying to communicate---they have always been about the viewer having their own experience---whatever that might be---and owning that experience.
Linda Taylor 50+Dec 4 2012: Ok Charles. I actually agree with Daryl but you have to keep quiet about some of this stuff. It's the story that sells the painting. Very few people actually acquire the product of art because it appeals to them. They get it because it is trendy or because of the story.
Others assign meaning where there is none. I remember a visit to an art museum where the art "instructor" talked about this painting of a monk. He appeared to be floating and he had his hands behind his back. The instructor went on and on about how the hands behind the back meant that the monk had the hand of God yada yada and how the appearance of floating signified closeness to God yada yada.
Well I took a look at the painting and realized the reason the monk had his hands behind the back was because the artist could not get the hands right. You could see where he tried a couple times and then just gave up, painted over and put the hands behind the back. Musta had a deadline or something. Again with the floating. You could see where the artist screwed up the depth perception and gave up. It was a technical issue but the instructor assigned all kinds of ethereal meanings to it as did probably the textbook she got it from.
And the textbook she got it from probably records the artist selling the painting to the monk or church that bought it originally. I could see him selling it that way...
But please, we create what we like and we sell it with story. Shhhh.
Dec 4 2012: Linda, you are so right. Sorry for speaking out :) It is certainly a case of "follow the money." Lots of jobs and money revolve around their being significant stories around any piece of art---even if the stories have to be total fabrication and hyperbole :) I will attempt to speak more quietly :)
Dec 11 2012: You shouldn't speak more quietly, for this is an interesting take on art. What Linda says is true: Paintings sell with story. Each individual has his/her own personal story that he/she associates with a painting. What sells the painting is the story that the individual has created in analyzing a piece. But Charles has a very good point: We will never know what the artist was actually thinking when he painted a piece of work. But that's what makes art meaningful - the stories that people take away with the experience of seeing the art. People are imaginative creatures, and that is why art appeals: People create stories based on what they see.
Dec 8 2012: o.k.now...the real question is...about the viewer and their own experience...and owning,it ,maybe owning one of your paintings if you sell them..i am guessing now....so what do your paintings look like ? and I will try to imagine my point of view....which luckily imagination is my specialty....(not spelling) and does that mean no mater what I see you will feel proud that I made the attempt..no matter what I say is my personal view?If so I am willing to risk telling you what I think...but maybe you dont care,or it is uninteresting to you...I myself am utilitarian so I see everything as useful and connected and care alot...I have a hard time disconnecting..so being careful with my crafts means I hurt others less and ultimately I do less harm to my own wide open psyche....there seems to be no way to observe extensively without sucking up all the surrounding data.
Dec 8 2012: Carolyn, your experience of my paintings would just be your own experience---how could I have a problem with that :) Art lives on long after we die and people still have experiences with it---the presence or opinion of the artist certainly does not matter then and most likely does not really matter now. Could my feelings be hurt? Possibly but that has more to do with me than the viewer and is not what we are talking about. If you want to see what my work is like you can easily find it by googling my name + "art." Art, like love, just is---as soon as we give it reasons it ends.
Dec 9 2012: Oh why make it difficult :)
Dec 8 2012: so now I can see(view) your idea better,and its great...could it be said that you are not a fan of artists calling all the shots about what art means and are flipping the script and empowering millions of veiwers who fasley feel too unexperienced or qualified to feel their own opinions...in fact maybe liberating art from the cuckholds of stuffy academia ? If so,go for it...unfortunately after years of school and memorization,and test with numerical scores...I may be hesitant to have my own opinions for fear I get a bad review.(so dont scare the viewer,no matter what his opinion,even ones you dont like away.
Dec 8 2012: I am not really sure who calls the shots about what art means---I do think that I am totally capable of having my own experience of anything independent of whether I have been informed about it---told a story about it. It may be a different "kind" of experience but no less valuable. The notion that some would have me believe that my experience is necessarily diminished by lack of "information" is what I find objectionable and exclusionary---possibly even elitist. I am accustomed to tilting at windmills :)
Dec 7 2012: charles,you lucky talented one,artist...who loves the raw viewer of art and...the veiwers inon intellectueal response to art, intended or not...edward presents an idea that the artists intent is the key to its value...it is an idea which could hold true in many areas of life, in your mind jobs,ect.....but it is not an idea without substance...saying intent in art,or wisedom,or perspective is included in the value of the craft......Your idea of the veiwer being the ultimate frontier is great...but this is abstract and not a thread the first time art viewer easily accepts...when it comes to points of view...you are on this page...try to stay on the veiwers page and edwards comment is included in your veiwers thesis...face the audience and claim your ideas...see where it leads..or are you really an artist who wants to limit points of view,and for what common good?
Dec 7 2012: Quite the contrary, I think the general point of view about art is very limiting for the viewer---I am merely adding to it---expanding the possibilities. The viewer today can be literally hamstrung by assuming it is their lack of "knowledge" that is preventing them from having a real experience with art. Even artists can be considered co-conspirators in this issue---or at least co-dependent :)
Dec 7 2012: Allow me to quote Jacques Maritain as a different perspective on the idea of artists expressing a meaning in their paintings: QUOTE: "However skillful an artist may be, and however perfect his technique, if he unhappily has nothing to tell us, his work is valuless." Do you find any value in his statement?
Dec 7 2012: I see you are not intimidated by Maritane's reputation as a powerful and influential philosopher and thinker. I expected, and respect, your response based on your clear statement of the meaning, or lack thereof, contained in your paintings. Do you think it is inconsistent that the artist could be expressing a personal thought, truth, or emotion, and, at the same time, offering the viewer an opportunity to "have their own experience"?
P.S.-- Is your work currently exhibited in the Oxford Gallery online?
Dec 6 2012: o.k. here may be an unpopular view of art,but here goes...Modern art is the artist excavating from the subconscious,an area that while being part of us ,we know little. The artist painting an " Unknowable' subject is excavating from this uncharted region of our selves,pulling the painting carcass into the light and we veiwers collectivly,and individually acknowledge it, thus we slowly carve out the internal landscape...so we eventually inform ourselves about our inner selve sHowever. placing all the interpetation on the viewer,for me is not my style..I like to think of my experience with imagery as giving me an edge to help guide others to see what I point out with artistic skill.,like a guide,not a ruler. If you love being obscure,or opaque in your art,enjoy...I myself am on a quest for all benefitting,so I attempt to make myself clear.
Dec 7 2012: Again, my premise isn't really about what the artist is trying to do---it is about the viewer. What is necessary for the viewer to be the viewer? What I am trying to get at is that "nothing" is "necessary." For example, we do not need to be taught anything or learn anything to appreciate a sunset. While it might be interesting to know that it is red because some volcano went off somewhere, the appreciation does not require that knowledge. Some may argue that the sunset is not art---painting the sunset is art. I would only say that there can be art that is "like" the sunset---art without "intent."
Dec 7 2012: It is clearly true that people can enjoy an artist's work without somehow understanding the artist's intent. We respond to colors and balance and so forth without any mediating understandings. Babies love stark contrasts and face-like features. People typically are attracted to things that are shiny. Those are the responses in the first second, that come from the earliest parts of the brain.
Dec 4 2012: Though I can't say I fully understand your point in this discussion I can, as an artist, speak to what has been commented as a result………firstly I have always been intrigued by the misinterpretation of the meaning of the word "art".
Art is a verb…….a process…….a discipline………not noun, not an object. The result of art, an artifact, is a painting, a sculpture, poem, song……...a work of……...and as it relates to the observer, a feeling. The "story" is a tandem effort by both artist and observer, but the artist's intent is to induce and share a feeling.
Dec 4 2012: I wish we could get the dictionaries to agree with your definition of art. I would have to argue that it "can" be the artists intent to "induce and share a feeling." All of that is not really what I am interested in this conversation. It is the viewer/observer. What do they bring to the "looking." Can they have a creative experience of their own with the piece or do they require the back story for it to have a relationship with the piece. There is nothing "wrong" with that if they do---I am just not interested in that approach for myself---and I think others might like that also.
Dec 3 2012: A painting is an artistic expression; not like a song, not like a novel, not like a film, not like sculpture; but certainly an expression.
Saying that it means something is a subjective statement, but the painter is communicating.
Art is like life. Sometimes it seems to have a meaning, sometimes it seems to make no sense, sometimes we find answers even without knowing the question, sometimes we reject the begging questions and ask something else.
Dec 3 2012: Debateable. I mean art itself has a meaning. Sometimes the artist has a meaning or story that they're trying to convey, sometimes the audience thrusts the meaning onto the work. Just because you might not operate from having a personal meaning within your art, not all artists operate in the same way. Some do have a personal agenda about their work whether it is condemning something within society, calling out for help with something or any number of other things. They don't shut out audience interpretation and experience, but they also have their own thing to say.
Dec 3 2012: 'The new freedom will be to own our own experience of what is being viewed.'
I did not know that this sort of freedom is new. I always took it. Instinctively.
Whenever an artist sets out to transport a clear meaning he/she should either choose pictograms or start writing.
There are not many ways of communication known to me which are as unpredictable as art is and this on both, intellectual and emotional levels.
Dec 4 2012: Actually, I am not that certain. All of the 'regular people' I know are pretty clear on art. They either like it or don't know what to do with it and they are able to speak their minds openly. This to me is to own ones experience.
Then I came to meet a different type of people, way less in numbers and often found at auctions or vernissages. Those people are easy influenced by the view of others. They 'beat about the bush' when asked the simple question of like or dislike, as if there where a trillion of aspects to be considered to be clear on a statement.
For those people I agree with you, and if they would take this freedom it certainly was new to them.
Dec 3 2012: Perhaps you have moved from "useless" to "not necessary?" There is art that is purely self expression with the audience incidental. There is art that is about engagement in the form of questioning or conveying a message. And there is art made for audience or to manipulate audience or to appeal to market. Why narrow the range of artistic options?
Dec 3 2012: Rather a cruel and arrogant statement, don't' you think? It isn't that I don't want to be responsible for my own experience when I see a piece of modern art. It's that I don't want to waste my time looking for anything to appreciate, so I walk blithely by without stopping - thus CLAIMING responsibility for my own LIFE experience.

If Proposition 34 passes, it will endorse everything that is wrong with the criminal justice system and allow the appeals of innocent people on death row to go unheard. It will take away the one guarantee, through habeas counsel, that death row prisoners have to be able to clear their names and prove their innocence. Vote No on Prop 34; do not destroy due process rights.

It is well established that solitary confinement is cruel and psychologically damaging. Many of the SHU's indefinite residents haven't even broken prison rules. They are there because the California Department of Corrections claims they are connected to prison gangs. Such arbitrariness and cruelty has no place in a constitutional democracy. California should reexamine this practice.

This Open Letter addresses what is happening to me as I challenge a system that no longer serves the interests of the people and push for the kind of change that will really make a difference. I seek merely to expose covert actions directed at me, and people close to me, that constitute bullying and soft repression that would otherwise go unnoted and whose purpose I surmise is to punish me for my values and political beliefs that favor justice and peace, and, most probably, to dissuade me from future political activities.

When Kenneth Harding, 19, couldn't show police a Muni transfer to prove he'd paid his $2 fare on July 16, 2011, he ran, they shot him in the back and for an agonizing half hour, instead of trying to save his life, they trained their guns on Kenneth and the crowd while the young man slowly bled to death and the crowd screamed in horror. Knowing that the police murder of Kenneth Harding was the outcome of the routine, though unofficial, police practice of stopping and frisking young men of color, why would San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee, a former civil rights attorney, consider importing New York City's disastrous stop-and-frisk policy?

In Rwanda, which has received over $1 billion in U.S. foreign aid in the past 10 years, Mrs. Victoire Ingabire made every attempt to participate in the political process that Rwandan President Paul Kagame insists is democratic, but instead she now stands in the dock in Rwanda's capital Kigali, facing charges that could keep her behind bars for 30 years to life.

Eight days after the start of Georgia's historic prisoners' strike, advocates met with state corrections officials and visited a prison. "The prisoners have done all they can do now.

With 3,500 beds in a city of about 350,000 residents, Orleans Parish Prison (OPP) is already the largest per capita county jail of any major U.S. city. Sheriff Marlin Gusman, the elected official with oversight over the jail, has submitted plans for an even larger complex.

Today, free speech inside the penitentiary is increasingly becoming a scant luxury, not the universally recognized right abstracted by federal judges. As early as March 2008, the San Francisco Bay View began receiving dispatches from California prisoners alerting the newspaper that prisoners in possession of the newspaper were being charged with gang affiliation and having their subscriptions withheld.

There are all of our offensive possession, from the 4:00 mark onward in the 4th quarter against Orlando (time left on shot-clock in parans)
3:51 Roy makes 22ft shot (6 seconds left)
2:58 Roy makes 18ft shot (1 second left)
3:34 Roy 2-2 FT's (16 seconds left)
2:20 Aldridge makes 19-foot jumper (4 seconds left)
1:40 Outlaw misses 3-pt shot (7 seconds left)
1:15 Blake misses 3-pt shot (8 seconds left)
0:41 Blake turnover (5 seconds left)
0:05 Roy misses 3-pt shot
I didn't see the play which Roy got his free throws on, i'll just assume for argument it was a layup/close-in shot. What I do see is last years maddening tendancy: to abandon all offensive execution and jack up three pointer after three pointer. This time it happened at the end of the game.
8 possessions; 7 attempts; 8 pts. From 2-minutes on, 1 turnover, and 3 missed 3pters. Any one point would have pulled this game from the fire.

Soy: The New Superfood?
The Bottom Line
It's best to approach soy as part of a healthy eating plan, not as a magic bullet. "We need to stop focusing on one particular food, and eat a number of foods known to benefit heart health," says Clare Hasler, PhD, executive director of the Robert Mondavi Institute for Wine and Food Science at the University of California, Davis. "For some people who eat heart-healthy oatmeal for breakfast, a handful of omega-3-rich nuts for a snack, and a glass of soy milk in the course of the day, it's conceivable that such a diet, over time, could be an effective treatment for lowering cholesterol."
"If people use soy protein to replace animal proteins such as those found in cheese, steak, or hamburger, they displace saturated fat from their diets, and that can significantly decrease LDL cholesterol levels and lower their risk for heart disease," says Alice Lichtenstein, Gershoff professor of nutrition science and policy at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University, in Boston. "But by just eating cereal with 6.25 grams of soy protein per serving, I don't think they're going to get the health benefit they're hoping for."
Even if soy doesn't lower cholesterol as much as once thought, it's important to remember that cholesterol is only one piece of the heart-disease puzzle. Future studies may find that soy works to fight disease in ways that scientists haven't even thought of yet.

House Is On Fire
by IrvineRenter in Price Rollback
This House Is On Fire -- AC/DC
I last profiled a property in the Marquee at Park Place in May of this year. In it, I noted "As you can see, the HOA dues are a value killer. The breakeven value for an owner-occupant is only $321,893 which is nearly 70% off the asking price for this unit. The monthly cashflow drain the owners of these units are experiencing is remarkable, particularly for the plethora of empty boxes." Is it possible for prices there to drop all the way to rental parity? Well, today's featured property is making significant progress...

That is some serious market chasing. It must have been quite a shock when they dropped their asking price 45% and they found no buyers.
The property records I have do not tell how much these owners paid. They used a $479,200 and a $119,800 HELOC, so assuming this was 100% financing, they probably paid $600,000. On 7/11/2006 they refinanced with a $600,000 first mortgage and opened a $75,000 HELOC, so it looks as if they did manage to "make" $75,000 on the deal. If this property sells for its asking price, and if a 6% commission is paid, the total loss to the lender will be $228,500.
What I find most interesting about this property is the strength of the kool aid in its water system. These people really believed they were going to make $400,000 flipping this property. I know the bubble was crazy, but WTF?
Many of us who have written about this property have speculated that REOs and short sales were going to obliterate the comps here. This is the beginning. In fact, this is the pattern we will see on most high-end properties in Irvine and surrounding communities as the Alt-A and Prime ARMs begin to reset over the next few years. With jumbo loan interest rates increasing rapidly, potential buyers are seeing a significant reduction in their buying power. In fact, an increase in interest rates from 6% to 9% finances 25% less money. With rapidly declining bids, REOs are going to see rapidly declining prices.
I characterized the Marquee at Park Place as an Equity Inferno. Well, the House Is On Fire.
Yonder she walked
Yonder she walked, hittin one of dream
A little tongue in cheek, hot poisonality
She bring on the flames, and it's burning and burning
My body's aching, tossing and turning
House is on fire
House is on fire
This house is on fire
And the flame is gonna burn you, you
She got me running for shelter
Needin' quarantine
She got me red hot and wired
Call an emergency
She bring on the flames, and it's burning and burning
My body's aching, tossing and turning
House is on fire
House is on fire
This house is on fire
And the flame is gonna burn you, you
You got me burning and burning
You got me tossing and turning
Burn, burn, burn
This house is on fire, House is on fire
This house is on fire, House is on fire
This house is on fire, This house is on fire
House is on fire
And the flame is gonna burn you,
The flame is gonna burn,
You're gonna burn you
This House Is On Fire -- AC/DC

Which from I've been hearing/reading should be within a month's time. After reading Rick Bates post, great info, I started thinking realistically what we could/would do with the free agent and UDFA market. And well, this is what I have come up with: I'm using the list Rick Bates put up for the 5-year free agents as my source for these names.
Positions of need in my opinion in no particular order: Guard, Defensive Tackle, Defensive End, Corner Back, Outside Linebacker
--Guard-- - Max Jean-Giles, Philly - Davis Joseph, Tampa - Deuce Lutui, Arizona
--Defensive Tackle-- - Barry Coefield, NYG - Tommie Harris, Chicago (FA) - Tony McDaniel, Miami
--Defensive End-- - Mathias Kiwanuka, NYG - Ray Edwards, Minny
--Corner Back-- - Jonathan Joseph, Cincy
--Safety-- - Hiram Euguene, Oakland
--UDFA's-- - Mark Herzelich (sorry for spelling) OLB, Boston College --Danta Williams, FS, UNC --DeAndre McDaniel, S, Clemson --Darvin Adams, WR, Auburn --Noel Devine, RB, West Virginia
I'm looking at this thinking that D-Will will be gone, which I'm strongly against, and with the possibility that CJ may not return, but I think he will. Smitty is gone, sucks, my favorite player ever, side note, I own 4 Panthers jerseys, and after this offseason I think 3 of the 4 will be ex-Panthers, which sucks, Peppers, Smitty, D-Will, and J-Stew...
I feel like if we could get a premium guard to line up next to Gross, Wharton, Kalil, and Otah would be FAN-tastic and make our line extremely solid for years to come. A glaring need to me is cornerback, bc Marshall is gone, Captain is still young, and Gamble, well we don't really know, so I think we need to go out and nab J.Joseph, and pay good money for the guy as well, its a glaring hole on our defense. D-Tackle, I love Coefield, and wish badly we could land him. I like both the UDFA Safeties I listed above alot, and if we could get Hiram cheap, I think he'd be an upgrade. But these are just some of my rambling thoughts, enjoy..

Field Ich was by far the best class I took at TAMUG. Dr. Landry is a great teacher and definitely very knowledgeable. I never managed to make an A on one of his tests, but I got A's in both classes. He got me excited about fish and I went on to pursue a Master's in fisheries ecology.
Dr.Landry is one of the best MARB profs ever. He knows more about fish and any text book ever. Is very passionate about the subject and loves to teach. Very helpful and will call on students to answer questions in class. Tests are very long but if you study and read the book they are easy to get an A or B. If you get a chance to take ich do it!!
