I purchased a can of silver cake graffiti spray and it was awful. It quit spraying within 20 or 30 seconds or so. I shook, rinsed the spray cap, wiped the opening, had my hubby try to help, etc. We were able to get it going a couple times for a few seconds each. Then no more. And when it did spray sometimes color came out, sometimes air and sometimes a wet something that ran. So I had an awful blotchy mess. I loaded up the cake and went to Michaels were I bought the graffiti. Same problem with EIGHT more cans. Fay from Michaels was a dear to try and help me in their class room and she said it was the worst product she had ever worked with and would be damaging out all the cans. And we did try gently putting a pin in the orifice as well. All of the cans had product in them, it seems to be plugging up, but as with the first can, even when they did spray, it wasn't consistent and would be color or air switching back and forth and sometimes the wet liquid. With the use of 9 cans we were able to get a somewhat even coverage. The cake was 9 inch diameter by 6 inch high and should have easily been coverable based on what the cans says it will cover. It was a horrible product. I have informed Duff and Michaels to let them know. Just wanted to pass my experience on.

Rich Rodriguez has had three brutal years at Michigan. Ever since stepping foot on campus, he's been dogged for what he's not; a Michigan man. And for what he is; 15-21 overall and 0-3 vs. Ohio St. But nothing has been as painful or embarrassing as last night's annual banquet. To be fair, I wasn't there, but I wish I were because this is just too good to be true. While talking about the crushing expectations and pressure of the season, Rodriguez choked up and admitted he's gone to the iPod for inspiration and to help him cope.
Understandable, in trying times, many of us have bumped tunes to help get us through it or take our minds off what we're dealing with it. But the music is supposed to make it better not worse, and Rodriguez reached for…Josh Groban. Uh-oh! Not only did he quote lyrics to the Grobes standard "You raise me up" in his speech, he bumped the tune for the room. Then grabbed hands with his wife and the MC of the event and waved them over his head in rhythm to it uhh, awkward! I'd rather steam it out with Joakim Noah and number 7 than sit through that. But wait, it gets worse. Much worse. The A.D. and the team then joined in. Is this Big Ten football or an episode of glee? Unbelievable; I don't think Bo Schembechler was sitting in his office rocking Bette Midler's "Wind Beneath My Wings." Before heading over to the Big House to punch the Buckeyes in the mouth. Rich, you say you want to keep your job, but your actions suggest you're begging to be fired. Because while 0-3 against your rival and 15-21 overall may not be a firable offense; joining hands with your boss and your team and rocking the Grobes at your team banquet is. No kid worth his salt is coming to play for a coach who does that.

I'm just so nervous about the next scan an hoping baby is still doing okay! My last scan was at 7 1/2 weeks and it wasn't a clear picture but we did see the little heart beating away but the tech wouldn't give me beats per minute so of course I'm worried something will go wrong.
This will be our first, I've had two MC's. 6 & 7 weeks.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 by 337 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Zeroforthree Needs improvement The staff is friendly and helpful across the board, but the stay was disappointing. Lowlight of stay was being essentially thrown out of adult-only pool for a private event, without any acknowledgment or apology from any management level person. This after days of having multiple jacuzzis being renovated simultaneously. There was always at least one jacuzzi open, but usually at the crowded noisy and unpleasant child focused pool. Food choices very very limited and quite dear. Spa experience was like an assembly line, except for the receptionist. Lots of details wrong in room ( e.g. if you plug your devices into the hidden recharging station the cabinet won't close. The mini refrigerator is in a cabinet, but the doors open in opposite directions so it is struggle to use. There is no light near coffee station, so you need room light to brew, waking up your roommate.). The outdoor spa jacuzzi is next to a busy road. And so on. The property is beautifully maintained and manicured, but doesn't quite get customer care correct. And this was the off season! October 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 Director The hotel is beatiful, the staff is responsive and the food was very good. November 20, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Thomas18 Ants This room had an ant problem in the shower, on the bathroom sink, and on the ight stands next to bed. Very small ants, at first I thought they were fleas or bed bugs. I notified the staff, but I could not tell if anything was done about it while I was in conference. The worst part is the ants all over my tooth brush! November 15, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Mariaclara14 Terrible! Sadly a very bad welcome, unresponsive staff, had to carry luggage upstairs , felt like a motel. Room with no view and very far from lobby. We were willing to pay for any upgrade possible but were semt to a medocre and far away room after paying for the only upgrade offered. A family celebration gone sour! Definately not a resort service. Never again! November 15, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Love2Relax No sleep, hidden fees, horrible food, terrible service and more! I will NEVER stay here again & I feel I have to let others know they should stay anywhere else but here. Hotels at this price point are allowed to have 1-2 mistakes/problems but the Westin in Rancho Mirage has a long list of problems. "Never judge a book by it's cover" holds true here. When you drive up, the front, the lobby & courtyard are all lovely. The grounds are lovely, clean & well kept. That is if you don't look at the buildings where the rooms are, those are hideous. That is where it ends. The smoke screen disappears, reality of this Westin smacks you in the face & continues to do so until you leave. 1. We had a "pool view", deluxe room. There was nothing deluxe about the room. The pool view was minimal & should not cost extra. 2. We were on the first floor. We could hear every step, movement, flush, sliding glass door, closet door, water, everything! Other guests told me kids were riding scooters in the room above them and it sounded like a pack of elephants. When the sliding glass door is opened on the second floor it sounds like thunder in your 1st floor room. 3. Internet- IS NOT FREE, it is part of the "resort fee". It is slow and often doesn't work. Your cell phone hardly works either. 4. I love the Westin's Heavenly Bed. Not at this Westin. The duvet cover is so worn out, the velcro that keeps the duvet in, no longer sticks together. When you get in bed, you have this duvet on you & open velcro with the duvet hanging out. Both nights I had to remake the bed so the worn out velcro was at the bottom & not on my face. Nothing heavenly about that. 5. TV- the remote doesn't turn the tv on, you have to do it manually. It controls volume & changes the channel only, it doesn't turn the tv on or off. The color, & picture are awful, face are red, pictures are blury. There are only a few channel options & in a kid friendly hotel, they have nothing for kids past 4pm so you are forced to PAY for your child to watch something appropriate while you are getting ready. 6. Bathroom- In our "deluxe" room, the toilet & shower/tub are in a cave with a lightbulb that is so dim you are in the dark. The shower/tub is the kind you find in a cheap motel. There is a plastic, $5. full length mirror on the back of the cave door. You can't stand back to see yourself because the closet is behind you. 7. Mini Bar- I ate a small pack of almonds priced at $10.00. When I went to the front desk to check my bill, it had the almonds charged at $13.05. A service charge of $3.05 was added to the $10. price for the almonds.The Westin charges the guest to have an employee refill the mini bar. Mini bar items are already marked up 1000% & every hotel refills the mini bar to make more money. I feel violated by this disgusting greedy fee. 8. Mandatory fees & taxes - You are charged a $27. resort charge + a $15. Occupancy/Tourism Tax + TOT/BID Assessment + tax on the Occupancy/Tourism Tax of $15. all PER NIGHT. This adds up to an additional $47.70 per night on top of your room rate. 9. The "Travel Traders" sundry shop ought to be shut down. It is NOT a Starbucks, it just serves Starbucks coffee. I waited 35 minutes in line the first morning to buy some bagels/cream cheese and coffees. Expensive is not a strong enough word. This was more expensive than airport prices. They had run out of knives to spread the cream cheese and there were TWO people working. The line was out the door and TWO people were working. The next morning, I only waited 10 minutes but there was nothing in the case but some cake looking thing. I asked what it was and the guy said "banana walnut bread". I asked where the bagels were and I was told "We looked and this is all that came in this morning." Spring break, sold out hotel and nothing! I ordered the banana walnut cake, coffee, paid my $30. and went to the pool. Sat down, everyone started eating. It was dry, stale apple walnut cake. One piece was moldy. Maybe that is why it was so expensive? I am also wondering if it is the Westin or Travel Traders llc that is trying to shove religion down our throats. There is a full wall and a turning rack of religious books for sale in this place. I found this offensive. 10. The pool area is crowded which is fine with me but the service is horrid. When you order a drink, it takes at least 30 minutes to get it. There is trash everywhere. The staff does not clean throughout the day. I saw a beer can floating in the pool. Many kids are riding scooters around the crowded pool. This is dangerous and should not be allowed. The staff said it is not allowed but nobody stopped a single kid while I was there. 11. Restaurants- The site says they have 5 restaurants. 1. The main restaurant which has no kids menu. Interesting for a kid friendly hotel. The service is terrible & slow. The food is boring and overpriced. 2. The pool "restaurant" which is a walk up counter. (or at your lounge chair if you want an hour + wait) This menu is tiny & only has one healthy option. 3. The bar/lounge food which is pieces from the main restaurant menu. 4. Room Service This is not 5 restaurants. This is 1 restaurant. 12. Spa- While at the spa, the leaf blower was blasting & loud. Not relaxing. 13. Front desk- At check in there was a line 8 people long with 2 people working. This was spring break & the hotel was sold out but they only had 2 of the 8 check in desks open. The rooms were messed up, they weren't ready, they weren't anywhere near our friends as requested, actually as far away as possible! I was overcharged for items & charged for food at the pool which I never ordered. I had to spend time reviewing the bill & then discuss the mistakes to be removed. This took time as the person helping me had no idea what she was doing. (It was almost funny) When I explained I had a $50. spa credit with my room package, she said we would have to wait an hour until the spa opens to call and check that I had a spa service because the amount on my bill was showing $64.90 and no services would come to that amount. She said I must have bought merchandise and the spa credit was not allowed to be used for merchandise. I explained that I got a $55. pedicure and then tipped 18% which is why the total was $64.90. It took me at least ten minutes of explaining that for her to realize I had gotten a spa service and she should take $50. off of my bill. 14. At 10:15pm there were kids and adults playing marco-polo, screaming and splashing in the adult pool outside of our "deluxe pool view room". I called the front desk to complain but I got a voicemail asking me to leave a message. I tried again, same thing. I really wanted my 6 year old to get some sleep! I had to call 6 times to reach someone and then wait another 35 minutes for someone to show up and make everyone leave the pool. I am in total shock by this experience. I have stayed at some of the finest hotels and some of the cheapest hotels all over the place. I have NEVER been charged $3.05 on top of the $10. for a mini bar item because of hidden fees so the hotel can keep having the guest pay, pay, pay! I have never had such horrible service across the board. I have been to Palm Springs/Palm Desert/ Rancho Mirage 4 times in the last year and I can say, I would rather stay home than stay at the Westin Mission Hills Resort & Spa. Starwood should take away the Starwood for this place! April 5, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by Grant713 Very disapointing experience When you check into a Westin you always expect a first class hotel, but this particular Westin was terrible. Starting from when I tried to talk to human being at the hotel and not someone in reservation land, it was a bad experience for me and my family members. The overpriced suite location was terrible, our view of the parking lot was not what you expect from a Westin. The facilities in the spa were broken. Checkin staff were not welcoming. Construction noise at 7.00am on Monday woke everyone up. Worst hotel experience in years! April 20, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by Traveler007 Good Food, not so Good Attention to Detail. As SPG Platinum, or even Gold for that matter, you would think you would be considered a valued guest. Not the case with this place. In fact they put us in a room, with a good view of our car and the car park. You would not even know there was a Golf course if it wasn't for seeing it as you walk in. The Mini bars are weight based. That is to say, they know if you use it based on less weight when its removed and then charge you. Good efficiency, however nobody checks it because they know you have not used it. Enter me, who wants a coke, I pick one out and cokes past is used date. In back most of it was, this is because staff don't need to check it they know guest have not used it. So be aware of that. The room beds, are good. The staff will fix and address issues promptly too when its brought to there attention. And the breakfast and food well thats five star. And I have eaten every where from French Laundry to Michael Mina, and in and out. The food and who ever runs the service in there, and restaurant.. it is a class above the resort itself. Would I go again? No.not unless I was invited. I don't want to look at a car all night. The recognition of SPG guests is not important to them. Its a service and extra comfort that is important to me. November 15, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Helen1 Disappointing stay this time My family and I have stayed at this several times and it came very highly recommended. The last visit was disappointing, the room was not clean, there was trash under the beds and dressers and even a dead cricket or two which I happened to pick up thinking it was a piece of a trash. The safe didn't work and I waited quite some time for the hotel services to come and fix it, waited with them for over a half an hour while they changes the batteries only to come back to my room later to find an error code and the safe door open with all my belongings in there. It's a beautiful resort, the cleanliness was not what you would expect from this caliber of hotel. August 15, 2012

Carly Fiorina channels Dede Scozzafava, wields race/gender card against conservative rival
Grass-roots conservatives, your attention, please: The NRCC and GOP dumped $1 million of your hard-earned money into radical Leftist Republican Dede Scozzafava's NY-23′s campaign — money that was squandered trashing mainstream conservative candidate Doug Hoffman, who lost the race by less than 3,400 votes.
Now, the GOP elite Senate candidate in California, Carly Fiorina, is running against Democrat Barbara Boxer by…trashing mainstream conservative GOP rival Chuck DeVore.
Fiorina's strongest argument against DeVore? He's a white man and she's not.
Asked why she is a better candidate than her Republican primary opponent Assemblyman Chuck DeVore (R-Calif.), Fiorina said that a woman stands a better chance of defeating Boxer.
"I have nothing against white men, I am married to one," Fiorina said at a breakfast at Americans for Tax Reform. "But Barbara Boxer has defeated [them] over and over again."
Political observers with long memories should remind Fiorina how Boxer engineered GOP defeat. Bruce Herschensohn, the Republican candidate in 1992, was a staunch and unapologetic conservative talk show host who came within 5 points of beating the San Francisco liberal. Desperate to ensure Boxer's victory, dirty Dem operatives launched a last-minute smear campaign by shouting about strip clubs.
Herschensohn's skin color and chromosomes had nothing to do with Boxer's win.
In keeping with Fiorina's identity politics-driven campaign, she also said today that even though she didn't follow the nomination closely, she would have voted to confirm Obama SCOTUS pick Sonia Sotomayor.
An Obama echo, not a choice.
Today's rejected RNC solicitation form of the day comes from reader Genene H:
And from reader Stephen:
I just wanted you to know that the Republican Party called me for the 3rd time in a week. I finally decided to answer and give them a piece of my mind. They wanted money immediately for some rallies at college campuses to oppose Obama's policies and cited the leadership of Newt Gingrich. I said I was disappointed in Gingrich, and that his support of candidates like Dede Scozzafava in New York, who supported the stimulus bill, union check card, was pro-choice, and pro gay marriage, was too much for me. The guy tried to argue that Scozzafava had gotten a bad rap and had tried to lower taxes and agreed with Republicans on many things, to which I responded that she voted more liberally than 46 other Democrats in NY government! Then I said, her support of Owens after she withdrew from the race kind of confirmed what I thought all along. I left by telling him I would support individual conservative candidates, like Pat Toomey in Pennsylvania, but that I would not give money to the Republican party to support candidates like Scozzafava. Thanks for all your great work.

A Tale of Two Archives; or, The Persistence of 'Girl Land'
Anyone reading this blog knows that archives are full of wonderfully weird ephemera just waiting to be discovered and discussed, of conversations waiting to happen. This is the story of two archives that, it turns out, have a lot to talk about.
Fascinating Finds in the Stacks: Women's Lib?
In the wake of our collections move, I came across a board game, "Women's Lib? A Game of Women's Rights." As a child of the seventies, the box's Bob Fosse-esque cover image caught my eye, as did the oh-so-1970 line drawings that reminded me of Schoolhouse Rock and other educational cartoons of my youth. However, [...]Continue Reading →
Fascinating Finds in the Stacks: Social Rules for Proper Ladies
While working on preparing print materials for the Rubenstein Library's upcoming move, I came across a few books on American women's etiquette. I glanced inside and found rules, rules, and more rules! Although the publication dates range from 1873-1924, the authors seemed to agree on specific social laws of conduct. For instance, one [...]Continue Reading →

New Acquisition: Panko Playing Cards
When you hear the word "Panko," do you think of Japanese bread crumbs?
I did, until the Sallie Bingham Center acquired this deck of Panko playing cards. It's named for the leader of the British suffrage movement, Emmeline Pankhurst (1858-1928), and pits opponents and supporters of suffrage against each other in a game similar to [...]Continue Reading →

This picture of a home-made vertical panel saw was posted on one of the WoodWeb forums. As its maker puts it, "it's not much to look at but it works very well."
I bet it does, and it probably cost very little to build. I like the way he connected the tool to a counterweight; presumably, the cable runs up and over a pulley and then down to a weight behind the tool.
I've used a similar counterweight setup for production work with a router – though it's scary now to think of what might have happened had I bumped into the spinning bit.

BERNE— The South Adams Starfires came out of the gate firing on all cylinders and gave fans all the action they wanted and more, but were ousted by 1A power Blackhawk Christian in four very close games, 27-25, 25-17, 25-23, 30-28.
The first set saw the Starfires pounce on the opposing Braves, who were without their head coach Lindsey Roth, who gave birth to her first child on Sunday. A kill from sophomore Caralie Farlow gave the Starfires an early 4-1 lead and had the opposing Braves looking flustered.
This year with Pigskin Picks, the overall winner of competition will be awarded a three-month subscription to the Decatur Daily Democrat based upon the top score accumulated through all of the weeks.
Tonight the Braves put their 3-0 record on the line when they welcome cross-county rival Norwell to town for their home opener at Worthman Stadium. The game is slated for a 7 p.m. kick-off and the DDD pregame show is set to start around 6:45 p.m.

The soccer Squaws earned a 4-0 victory over non-conference Blackhawk Christian on Thursday night using a big home crowd to support the win.
"It was nice to see a great crowd," noted BHS coach Steve Lee. "The boys and girls soccer games are normally scheduled on the same nights alternating home and away but this night was one of the rare occasions when the boys did not have an away game. The crowd was electrifying with chants and Vuvuzelas (soccer horns). I really appreciated the team support."
BERNE— In what could be a preview of the sectional finals depending on how the draw turns out, Adams Central came away with a tight 3-2 victory over South Adams on the road Tuesday night.
South Adams (7-3), earned points at one and two singles but were felled in both doubles matches and three singles falling just short against their county and ACAC rivals who improved to 6-1 on the year.
Tonight the Squaws welcome non-conference opponent North Side to the Teepee on the volleyball court. The match tonight is slated for a 6 p.m. junior varsity start. The webcast will begin approximately 10 minutes after the conclusion of the reserve game (~7:10 p.m.).

MONROE—The 4A #6 Carroll Chargers came into the Hangar on Monday night looking to escape with a victory against a scrappy, upset-minded Adams Central team ranked fifth in 2A in the latest coaches' poll.
After dropping a nail-biter in the first set, the Chargers regrouped and left one of the toughest gyms in the region to play in, with a win, 25-20, 20-25, 17-25, 18-25.
COLUMBIA CITY— With more than half of the state's Friday night grid battles postponed to Saturday, the Bellmont Braves traveled back up to Columbia City Saturday afternoon down 15-8 in the middle of the third quarter but BHS scored 18 straight unanswered points to upend the Eagles 25-15 in the game's finish.
PONETO— South Adams earned first place in the Bi-County Conditioner at Southern Wells Tuesday night, while the Bellmont Braves finished second in the unique event.
In what is known at Hokum-Karum style, the schools use runners in pairs alternating each mile for six miles. Scores are compiled using the combined times of each school's top three pairs.
Tonight the Bellmont Squaws play host to Heritage on the volleyball court at the Teepee. The Squaws' JV will kick off the action at 6 p.m. with the varsity game slated for approximately 7:15 p.m. The coverage from the DDD Webcast will begin at approximately 7:10 p.m. with a pre-game show brought to you by Decatur Dental Services.

Maximum storage, minimum hasle
Nov 11, 2008
By Ira B. Steinberg
Though I wish I had waited a couple of weeks to buy this card (the price dropped 30 dollars in the past two weeks), I have nothing but good things to say about the card. Easy to load, easy to read. I managed to put about 11 gigs on here in the first three days (lots of music) and the access has been flawless. Word of caution, be careful with the card reader. My first attempt led to a corrupted card which I had to return. May have been a manufacturing defect (bought from best buy, not from Amazon. Best buy charged 99.00). I reccomend loading the card in the device before adding data rather than using the reader and then inserting loaded card.
All in all, a miracle of storage on a tiny card. I eagerly await the 32 gb in a year or two.

Exactly what it says
Nov 30, 2008
By Joshua J. Susmarski
Great card, works great, is exactly what it says, and comes with SanDisk's standard warranty. A couple things to remember, 16 "gigabytes" in manufacturer terms equates to about 14.9 true formatted gigabytes (because a kilo for a computer is 1024). Also the MicroSDHC standard is the same card and interface as the old MicroSD; the difference is in the compression method. This means that many smartphones that didn't support SDHC when they were made can support it if the software is upgraded. An example of this is any Windows Mobile phone that has been upgraded to WinMo 6.1; 6.1 supports SDHC.

I bought this for the purpose of dual-booting Android from it (on my Barnes&Noble Nook Color). See [...] Short version: for this purpose, buy Sandisk-branded class 4 microSD cards. I've been using it for over a month and the performance has been enjoyable, so I guess they're right. :)

What was it about them that made them the team to follow for an Indian boy growing up 30-odd years ago?
January 14, 2012

Players/Officials: Allan Border | Kim Hughes | Maninder Singh | Sanjay Manjrekar
Series/Tournaments: India tour of Australia
Everything used to be big. When I grew up, in the '70s and the early '80s in India, short-wave radios were relatively large. Newspapers were, sports magazines were. As a kid you spent a considerable amount of time just looking at the large photographs. You learnt about sport that way. As you absorbed the tableau-like quality of these photographs, you enjoyed sport for its sheer visual delights. Sport grew on you. Unhurriedly, without interruptions, vivid in the imagination.
Radio commentary made the pictures come alive, and added a touch of drama. Richards hooking, courtesy Adrian Murrell and Patrick Eagar, the SS Jumbo, and later the V100, maker's name proudly facing the viewer. When Jim Maxwell described Richards hooking Lillee, this picture, previously tucked away, unfurled and assumed flight.
As a kid you tended to develop sporting heroes purely on instinct. And as you associated teams with heroes, national boundaries blurred a bit. Since radio was the only source of live information, instinct was perhaps honed by the commentary that caught your fancy the most. Radio Australia in my case. Alan McGilvray sounded wise, but Maxwell made cricket exciting for a young kid. As he described Kim Hughes swing to leg, or dance down the pitch to hit straight, feet moving in a light scissoring motion, your hair stood on end. Rodney Hogg turning at the top of his run at the Vulture Street end before steaming in to bowl, first thing in the morning, India time, during the 1978-79 Ashes, was incredibly exciting. It didn't matter one bit that Australia were beaten soundly in the series.
In those radio years, we had a Philips set. It had a small, roughly triangular break in the glass that enclosed the dial. That was where the knob that changed the bands met the glass. Medium-wave was when the knob pointed upward. This was mostly used for home Tests. Nine forty-five in the morning during a home series meant time to switch the radio on. Listening to the long, high-pitched beep before live programming began was a special thrill. When the beep gave way to the All India Radio signature tune, you moved a little closer. When the announcer said, first in Hindi and then in English, that you were being transferred to the Test match venue for live commentary, you felt a small tingle run up your spine.
Fine-tuning into Radio Australia wasn't too difficult on our radio, since the 13m band was at the extreme left on the dial. You simply turned the dial so far left that the needle actually stood up a bit - the twine that tied the dial to the needle could stretch only so much. There's nothing that quite matches the feeling a kid gets when the first thing he does on waking up is fiddle in the dark with a radio dial. Ears straining expectantly for McGilvray and Maxwell, he is, as philosophers would say, one with the radio. It is not dissimilar to what athletes feel when they are in the zone.
In the '80s, the World Cup served as a kind of cricketing exclamation mark between luxuriously scheduled tours, the year-ending Benson & Hedges tri-series in Australia, and random one-day series in Sharjah. The calendar had a certain clarity to it. Nations toured each other, they played domestic sides, fans got to learn geography and time zones. The late afternoon breeze from the Hooghly made the ball swing; so would the Fremantle Doctor. Headingley would bring in the clouds, and Mike Hendrick. It seemed to rain every afternoon in Guyana; inconsequential hundreds would be made. Melbourne and Sydney would mean you had to get up by 5:30am. Perth, on the west coast, would give you a little more leeway - you could sleep till 8. No alarm ever worked better than a Boxing Day Test.
The first Australia-India series I remember following closely was the 1977-78 one. All India Radio used to send its commentators to cover overseas tours, and you knew all this because, even as lower-primary school students, you read newspapers closely. Well, to be truthful, the sports pages of newspapers. And so a bunch of us used to get up early in the morning - and often a few times during the night - just to make sure we didn't miss the first ball.
Perhaps it was something that the commentators said, but Peter Toohey caught my fancy the most. Bob Simpson came back in from the cold; Packer had netted the first line of stars. Sunil Gavaskar was the exact opposite of Virender Sehwag, in that he seemed to always score hundreds in the second innings. Bedi, Chandra and Pras relished Melbourne and Sydney, and there were a couple of very close-run chases by India, although I remember only the Adelaide one. There was the quaint night-watchman intervention by Tony Mann. The series was extremely closely fought, and the only thing that took away from its sheen was the missing frontline Australians.
Radio Australia having worked its magic by then, my Australia bias was in full bloom for the India home series in 1978-79. The Sportstar ran an interview with the Australia coach, Bob Merriman. One line stands out in memory. "What more do you want than [Dave] Whatmore?" he was asked. His answer "Ten more Whatmores" cracked me up quite a bit then, I must shamelessly admit.
|There's nothing that quite matches the feeling a kid gets when the first thing he does on waking up is fiddle in the dark with a radio dial. Ears straining expectantly for McGilvray and Maxwell, he is, as philosophers would say, one with the radio
India were just a bit too strong for the Australians, minus their Packer stars, although Allan Border and Hughes did their growing reputations no harm at all. Geoff Dymock and Karsan Ghavri were a touch of the exotic, at a time when left-arm fast bowlers were few and far between. Mohinder Amarnath, in an odd sola topee, fell on his wicket attempting to hook Hogg. It made for a particularly striking photograph that everyone who followed cricket then must remember.
I became a complete Kim Hughes fan. Something about him in baggy green, lofting spinners down the ground, seemed to define cricketing majesty. The Australian cricketing form - sharp, clean, straight lines - painted cricketing dash and grandeur. The fine, straight-backed elegance stimulated my childhood sense of the aesthetic. The subtle captivation of the wristy, curved, wispy, dreamy Indian cricketing rhythm was to come much later.
With the returning Packer stars, plus Hughes and Border, Australia dominated the 1980-81 series. Hughes famously dedicated his double-century at the Adelaide Oval to his newborn twins. Lillee and Pascoe bowled India out cheaply in the Australian win at the SCG. Shivlal Yadav (in the first of two worthy contributions to Indian causes in Australia; he was to return a couple of decades later, as manager) and Ghavri hung on by the skin of their teeth in Adelaide. And Doshi and Kapil pulled off that memorable heist at the MCG. This seemed to trigger a kind of nerviness in the Australian teams of the '80s, and even through to the early '90s. You could count on the Aussies to stuff a chase of 100-odd runs any time. Botham, Willis, and even Fanie de Villiers, should perhaps thank Doshi, Kapil and the MCG for setting up that sneaking sense of doubt. This caused me no small sense of despair, as every time I supported Australia then, in chases that should have been easy strolls in the park, I ended up on the losing side. Well, okay, Australia did, but you know what I mean.
After MCG, India and Australia somehow contrived not to play each other in Tests for the first half of the '80s. There was a clutch of one-dayers in between times. India dominated the 1985-86 drawn series in Australia, and should have won it, except for some inopportune rain and skewed umpiring. Their batting began to look utterly dominating, especially against the next generation of Australian quick bowlers. Craig McDermott, Bruce Reid and Merv Hughes were just about starting out and often came up short against Srikkanth, Gavaskar, Mohinder, Vengsarkar, Azharuddin, Shastri and Co.
I still backed the Aussies, especially McDermott. There was something about his run-up - jaw set in firm, aggressive intent, arms rhythmically pumping, right wrist cocked, left arm readying itself for the final leap at the crease - that defined the strong, aggressive fast bowler. The face cream helped as well.
The Indian batting at this point had the right mix of experience and youth, and all fast bowlers suffered in comparison to the magnificent West Indians, Imran and Hadlee. Nothing the Australians threw at the visitors fazed the Indians in the slightest, exemplified by the large totals they made in Australia, and in that brilliant last-innings chase in the nail-biting tie in Madras.
Somewhere around this time, I developed Indian cricketing heroes, starting off, somewhat strangely, with Maninder Singh. Something in his beautifully co-ordinated left-arm spinner's action introduced me to the Indian cricketing form. Everything in Maninder's action was about rhythm. And about curves. From that smooth turn at the top of his run, till the arms uncoiled in that wonderful springy arc and the ball was released in a delicious loop, and seemingly gained pace off the pitch. My cricketing sensibilities then onwards started to respond to the Indian rhythm and form. Maninder's spin and then Azhar's wristiness, slowly, steadily drew me India's way. Eventually the arrival of a certain Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar completely weaned me away from Australia. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
Thereabouts, after being down in the dumps almost interminably in the early Border years, Australia started winning, slowly at first, then with increasing regularity, and eventually everything in sight, and India slumped mightily. It all started with that 1987 World Cup in India.
When the tournament came to the subcontinent for the first time, it was full of tight scraps. Perhaps, it was the outfields, perhaps the flat pitches, which needed the fielding team to really throw themselves about to get people out. Everyone ended up looking dusty, dirty and sweaty. Most times Border looked like he couldn't see through the grime in beard and eye. After years of grit and loss, when he seemed to be the only Australian batsman around, he emerged from the rubble with the nucleus of a team that would eventually go on to dethrone the West Indians as champions in all forms of the game.
The 1991-92 series in Australia was dominated by McDermott, Mike Whitney and Merv Hughes. Azhar hit one thrilling hundred, in Adelaide. But it was Tendulkar's boy genius that shone like a lone star. The WACA was graced by an innings of brilliance. Everything else looked pedestrian in comparison. I was hooked, like the rest of the nation. A couple of years earlier Sanjay Manjrekar had replaced Gavaskar as India's most technically equipped batsman. R Mohan's descriptions of Manjrekar's technique in the Hindu bordered on the lyrical. With his straight-batted flick, Manjrekar became the latest addition to my pantheon of Indian cricketing heroes. But he too failed in Australia.
Around this time I happened to become a graduate student in Montreal. I guess in a foreign country you do become more aware of your roots. Watching cricket in sports bars, braving winter, in the cricketing backwater of Rue Jean Talon, I lost whatever was left of my Australian bias - strangely when Australia had begun dominating all and sundry. But I suppose that has got to be a story for another time.

Energy independence: What presidents have said about it
The nation's growing reliance on imports of crude oil and refined petroleum products threatens the nation's security because they increase U.S. vulnerability to oil supply interruptions. … The administration will continue its efforts to develop additional cost-effective policies to enhance domestic energy production and to revitalize the U.S. petroleum industry."
George W. Bush, January 2003
Our third goal is to promote energy independence for our country, while dramatically improving the environment. I have sent you a comprehensive energy plan to promote energy efficiency and conservation, to develop cleaner technology, and to produce more energy at home."
Barack Obama, June 2010
For decades, we have known the days of cheap and easily accessible oil were numbered. For decades, we've talked and talked about the need to end America's century-long addiction to fossil fuels. And for decades, we have failed to act with the sense of urgency that this challenge requires. Time and again, the path forward has been blocked — not only by oil industry lobbyists, but also by a lack of political courage and candor."

i don't think it's all dandy to start labelling everyone a homer this and homer that when you're building up your own players a little unfairly as well.. i mean there isn't a big enough gap between markov&bulis or souray&bulis vs jackman anyway to start throwing around homer...
if the deal was markov, komisarek and kostitsyn maybe, but there's hardly a gap here imo
i'm not being pro montreal, Souray has as many question marks as Jackman right now, both have had 1 good season, I realize that Souray is older and has been injured more, but the fact remains that both players currently owe their reputation of what they are now, to 1 good season, right?
There as as much if's with Jackman as their are with Souray, you can't deny that, as for Markov, yes he's very good at keeping the puck in, (i'm actually glad you said that, it's little things like this he does that goes unnoticed by many)...
I just want to make sure I got your post correct before I go on...deep breath
You think there's hardly a gap between...
Markov, Komisarek and Kostitsyn
For Jackman?
Or were you referring to the homer thing?
Either way, IMO, and I don't think i'm being pro habs when I say this, as I like every player that's been mentionned in this trade offer, but markov&bulis or souray&bulis for Jackman is a steal....for St-Louis

An object that has no correlation between its state and its hash code value should typically not be used as the key. For example, String objects are better than StringBuilder objects for use as keys.
You can also use the Item property to add new elements by setting the value of a key that does not exist in the DictionaryBase; for example, myCollection["myNonexistentKey"] = myValue. However, if the specified key already exists in the DictionaryBase, setting the Item property overwrites the old value. In contrast, the Add method does not modify existing elements.

Obama declares end of Iraq war, troops to be home by end of 2011
Online Staff Report
President Barack Obama pledged Oct. 21 to bring all U.S. troops home from Iraq by the end of the year, declaring an end to the more than eight-year war in Iraq.
"As promised, the rest of our troops in Iraq will come home by the end of the year," Obama said in a White House briefing Oct. 21, following a private video conference with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. "After nearly nine years, America's war in Iraq will be over.
"Today, I can say that troops in Iraq will be home for the holidays," Obama added.
The war in Iraq began March 20, 2003, after the U.S. and United Kingdom asserted Iraq was in possession of weapons of mass destruction. No evidence of weapons of mass destruction has been found since the war began. The war is among the longest and most divisive conflicts in U.S. history.
U.S. casualties in the war have totaled 4,476, with 32,102 wounded. Brown University's Costs of War project estimated the total for wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan is at least $3.2-$4 trillion. The report said the Department of Defense's direct spending on Iraq totaled at least $757.8 billion. It also included complementary costs at home, such as interest paid on the funds borrowed to finance the wars and a potential nearly $1 trillion in extra spending to care for veterans returning from combat through 2050.
Obama said the U.S. will have a "strong and enduring partnership" with Iraq after troops return home.
Former President George W. Bush was president when a deal to withdraw troops from Iraq by the end of 2011 was signed by Iraq and the U.S. Obama declared the end of combat operations earlier this year.
The U.S. had been discussing with Iraqi leaders the possibility of several thousand U.S. troops remaining in Iraq. However, Iraqi leaders refused to give U.S. troops immunity from prosecution in Iraqi courts, and the U.S. refused to stay without that agreement.
Former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein was captured Dec. 13, 2003. He was charged by the Iraqi Special Tribunal with crimes committed against residents of Dujail in 1982, following a failed assassination attempt against him. Specific charges included the murder of 148 people, torture of women and children and the illegal arrest of 399 others. He was found guilty Nov. 5, 2006, and hanged Dec. 30, 2006.

Great and warm welcome. Great Quality/price ratio. The hotel is in the center of Madrid. - Anonymous
Absolut friendly and helpfull staff, quiet at night (considering the
most important road far below - and as it is considerably small, well
controlled), perfectly situated in the real heart of the City - E.G. 2
steps from Lion King. Well kept - and with a hard to beat
cost/performance level. Don't expect high luxury - but get a
cosy place that has all it needs. - Anonymous
Perfectly located for Gran Via metro station and links to Madrid city centre.
Nice room, friendly staff
Great value for money - Anonymous
This place is truly Home away from Home. The lady who runs the place is so nice, very friendly and keeps the place immaculate. The rooms with shower are nice and spacious with moder decor and the single room without shower where I was staying is very comfortable with fridge and microwave. The commune shower room is private and always kept very clean. I definitely recommend this place for single traveler or a couple who is looking for a great location stay with a comfort of luxury hotel under bu - Anonymous

A super-PAC supporting Sen. John Cornyn's (R-Texas) reelection bid is slamming Rep. Steve Stockman's (R-Texas) ethics in its first ad of the Texas GOP primary.
Texans for a Conservative Majority, a group run by former Cornyn staffers, attacks Stockman for his campaign finance violations.
Randy Cubriel, the group's head, takes an additional shot at Stockman, who launched a surprise last-minute primary bid against Cornyn in early December.
"Stockman's troubling record is the polar opposite of Senator John Cornyn's career of upstanding service and proven leadership," he says. "Texans deserve better than Congressman Stockman, they deserve someone they can trust."
The group is first airing the ad in the Houston and Beaumont media markets, an area that covers Stockman's congressional district, and might expand the buy to other parts of the state.
Stockman's campaign faces a steep uphill climb and has gotten off to a rocky start. He began the race with no money in the bank against Cornyn, who has more than $7 million in his campaign account. Since Stockman launched his bid, most of the media's focus has been on his campaign finance problems and controversial remarks.
A December poll from a Texas GOP consultant not affiliated with either campaign found Cornyn with a huge lead, and none of the national conservative groups that often fuel Tea Party challengers have stepped up to help the congressman.
