No Jackie Robinson Day at Dodger Stadium for 2014
Initiated for the first time on April 15, 2004, Jackie Robinson Day is celebrated each year on that day. In 2004, The Dodgers were playing in San Diego. but starting in 2005, the Dodgers have been celebrating Jackie Robinson Day at Dodger Stadium. That tradition has been broken as the Dodgers will be in San Francisco on April 15, 2014.
I had taken it for granted that the Dodgers would always play at Dodger Stadium on April 15. Needless to say I am disappointed at the people who create the schedule and at the Dodgers that they did not push for this day to always be played at Dodger Stadium.
Just like many other Dodger fans, we will miss celebrating at Dodger Stadium. On that day, through Dodger Stadium, you could see fans sporting their Jackie Robison jerseys or t-shirts. One year I spotted the guy below wearing a Pasadena College jersey with Jackie's number in the back. I also spotted a similar jersey from UCLA
We are very proud that Jackie Robinson went to Pasadena College and that he went to UCLA. Also that he broke the color barrier wearing a Brooklyn Dodger uniform.
I will wear my Jackie Robinson jersey at work since I won't be going to San Francisco.
Nice chat with Yasiel Puig
Greetings from San Diego! My beisbolera friends and I made the trip to San Diego for the Opening Series in San Diego. We lost the Opener on Sunday. Monday, a day off we went for a late breakfast close to Petco Park. We happen to be seated at the table next to where Yasiel Puig, his cousin and Paco Rodriguez were sitting. Yasiel was pointing at something in the USA Today special baseball section that appeared on Monday 3/31/14. The section has salaries for the 856 major league players on Opening-day rosters and disabled.
We could hear what they were talking and they could hear us but we did not bother them, my back was facing Paco's back and Rosie's back was facing Yasiel. Lorena was facing their back. When I heard Yasiel say "Todas las mujeres son iguales.." "All the women are alike.." I just had to turn around. He looked at me and said "Perdone senora.. but it is true.." "I I heard you talking in Spanish so you understood me.." From there we started talking. I introduced myself saying I was from Honduras. He said "oh, Hondurena.." I said "Lorena is a teacher.." He said "Oh you can teach me English." I asked him how did he liked Australia. He said very pretty but the flight was too long even though he had a comfortable bed. then I don't know how we were talking about water but he said "I don't like to be near the ocean, I had enough of ocean when I came to the U.S.
We found Yasiel Puig very nice, personable, friendly, funny and witty. He introduced himself, then he said this is Paco and this is my cousin Federico. He laughed then saying that "we just call him Federico, you know for Federowicz,…" I said "oh yeah, Fed-Ex. They were glancing at the tv telling me a lot of teams are playing today their Opener. I said yes, and showed him the MLB At Bat scores where at the time they were a lot of ties. He said they were enjoying the day off and they needed it after the long flight to Australia. I said "You will face Ian Kennedy tomorrow" He touched his face and said "Don't hit my face because he is going to make me ugly.." "Hit my ribs instead…" Then Lorena said "Did you see Chapman" He said "Oh yeah, he texted me in Australia saying "even getting hit, you are still uglier than me.." It was funny.
When he mentioned Fed-Ex, I said, yeah and Javy Guerra went to the White Sox. Yasiel said "yeah, Belisario is there." I said "Oh yeah, the ugliest one from the team left." Puig laughed and said to Paco and his cousin "Did you hear that? LOL"
Afterwards Yasiel was saying we should take some kids to the game. then he got up and extended his hand to me then to Rosie and Lorena. Yasiel walked to a table where they was a kid dressed in Dodger Blue. He said hi to the kid and family then took a picture with the kid.
Like I said, we found him to be very friendly, personable, funny and witty. We did not bother him asking him for a picture. We thought it was not appropriate but we loved the chat. Oh yeah, I forgot to say when he was talking about stadiums, he said to me "No me gusta Dodger Stadium." He sounded serious but when I looked at him with a sad face he laughed and I knew he was joking. He said he couldn't wait to be home playing for the home crowd, "his gente". I mentioned other stadiums I like like the view from Pittsburgh. He said well we don't see the view, we look at the field but still I said "You should look at Dodger Stadium from the Top Deck, look at the natural beauty, the mountains in front and the downtown in the back. Rosie mentioned you could see the Hollywood sign from there. I said "go after all the fans have gone home." He said "I could go when I first get there."
It was a great day. We like Yasiel Puig even more now.

Haikus: It's Time for Dodger Baseball in Australia
It's time for Dodger Baseball in Australia! I have been waiting all day Friday and will wait all night till Saturday at 1.am. when the game is due to start. Here are some quick haikus:
Outside is gloomy
but it is Opening Night
So my heart just see sunshine
Speaking of Mr. Sunshine
Kershaw will be on the mound
green grass all around
Opening Day Eve
My allergies in full bloom
Spring is in the air
I can't wait to hear
It's Time for Dodger Baseball
At one a.m. here
Australia so far
Start time there 7 p.m.
Crickets outside sing
Play ball!
What Pitcher will be the First one to Wear the Protective Headgear?
I hope that in the near future I will see pitchers wearing the protective headgear that MLB has approved. The pitchers have been reluctant to use it. If it is too heavy, awkward, well, go back to the drawing board and improve upon it.
Who will have the guts to wear it? Who will be the first one?
On September 5, 2012, during an afternoon game, Brandon McCarthy, while pitching for the A's, had a line drive hit him squarely in the head. He sustained an epidural hemorrhage, a brain contusion and a skull fracture on the play. He underwent brain surgery. Since Major League Baseball approved a padded-cap design for optional use this season, Brandon who is now with the Diamondbacks, declared he would not use it.
Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher J.A. Happ was hit in the side of the head by a scorching line drive off the bat of Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Desmond Jennings in the second inning on September 5, 2013. Though Happ didn't appear to lose consciousness, he was bleeding from the point of impact. The blow landed the 30-year-old Happ in the hospital and then the disabled list with a fractured skull.
Rays starter Alex Cobb exited Tropicana Field on a stretcher Saturday afternoon after a line drive off the bat of the Royals' Eric Hosmer struck the pitcher in the right ear, knocking Cobb to the ground on a Saturday afternoon on June 15, 2013.
In 1955, Cleveland Indians rookie Pitcher, Herb Score set a rookie pitching record for strike outs with 245 whiffs. This record would stand till another young flamethrower, Dwight Gooden, topped it almost 30 years later. Score won Rookie of the Year, was on the cover of Sports Illustrated and was truly the talk of baseball.
No sophomore jinx for Cleveland Indian, Score either. He followed up his rookie season by winning 20 games, with even more strike outs and a lesser ERA.
He again, struck out more than a batter an inning
But on May 1957, Herb Score took a ball in the right eye. He returned the next season but never again had a winning record.
Herb Score.
Bryce Florie MLB career was cut short after he suffered a horrific injury while pitching for the Boston Red Sox. Florie was struck by a line drive by Ryan Thompson in the ninth inning of New York's 4-0 win Friday September 8, 200. Florie went down, then sat up after about a minute, blood streaming down his face.
Bryce Florie
on September 8, 2002, Dodgers rookie left-hander Kazuhisa Ishii left the game Sunday in an ambulance with a small skull fracture and a concussion after getting struck flush on the forehead by a line drive off the bat of Houston's Brian Hunter. In the fourth inning of the Astros' 6-2 victory, Hunter drove a 3-2 pitch so hard off the left side of Ishii's head that it ricocheted all the way to the backstop behind home plate for an RBI double. If I remember correctly, that was a 4 p.m. a dangerous start with the shadows followed by twilight.
Now the latest victim is Reds closer Aroldis Chapman. Chapman was hit above the left eye by a line drive off the bat of the Royals' Salvador Perez in the sixth inning of the game between Cincinnati and Kansas City in Surprise, Arizona on Wednesday night. He was diagnosed with fractures above his left eye and nose and held overnight for observation.
Aroldis Chapman shared pictures on Instagram with staples on his head.
How many times do we have to read "lucky to be alive" "lucky to escape major injury" before someone is not so lucky? Who will have the guts to wear the headgear so others can follow?

Trader Joe's Dodger Fearless Fan of the Day
Who remembers when Trader Joe's and the Dodgers had the "Fearless Fan of the Day" At Dodger stadium? I remember that day during batting practice I was walking with a Trader Joe's bag in the field level when a lady stopped me and asked me if I wanted to be the "Fearless fan of the day". she said "you get to go on the field, but you have to wear this". The this was a Dodger Hawaiian shirt. She had me at "you get to go on the field". What I can't remember is what year that was.
Here is the video from that day;

East Village
Jack's Luxury Oyster Bar
Jack's Luxury Oyster Bar in the East Village gives a nod to New England with its knotty-pine bar, red and white checked walls, seascape paintings, and antique cupboard. Jack's is a premier destination for a meal of fresh Salt Pond oysters from Rhode Island and the slightly brinier Kumamotos oysters, all served with both savory and vinegar sauces. Some delicious dishes from the chef's six course tasting menu include the clams with chorizo (clams, chorizo rounds, white beans, and broth served with crusty white bread) and Arctic Char confit (crisp skin served over fennel and orange gremolata.)
Insider Tip:
For dessert, try a new rendition of the apple pie: vanilla ice cream, apple balls, and broken bits of salted pie crust.

Doctor of Chiropractic (DC)
Chiropractic care (which comes from the Greek word meaning "done by hand") dates back to 1895. It was developed by Daniel David Palmer, a self-taught healer in Davenport, Iowa. Palmer wanted to find a cure for disease and illness that did not use drugs. He studied the structure of the spine and the ancient art of moving the body with the hands (manipulation).

I really liked this shampoo. It made my thick, wavy, colored hair feel soft and I felt like I could comb it even after just shampooing and not conditioning. The smell is DIVINE!!! I could tell my hair felt more moisturized right off.
This is a below average basic shampoo. I mean, this is not a bad product but for the price, I would have expected something better, and there are better shampoo out there.
It smells pretty good but wasn't moisturizing enough. Well, it isn't supposed to be a moisturizing shampoo?? My hair is curly and dry and this shampoo didn't improve a single thing. It cleanses pretty well but that's it. It made my hair frizzy and tangled. Won't purchase it again. continued >>
For me, this is a great everyday shampoo. Smells nice and works well. I love the formula and the way my hair feels, smells and styles when I use it. I would definitely purchase again.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Love the smell, but I swear this shampoo made my hair super greasy AND gave me dandruff at the same time. Didn't even think that was possible!
Stay away from this and the conditioner because the combination is lethal for hair.
This shampoo is pretty terrible, at least for my dry, curly hair. I figured that having the word "Moisture" in the name of the shampoo might mean that the shampoo moisturized, but it only stripped my hair and made it fuzzy. It didn't feel very clean, either. Avoid this shampoo and its conditioner!
I used this shampoo to get that really clean, squeeky feeling going. It's not really moisturizing at all, more like a clarifying maybe, I like it.
It smells awsome as well.
This is one of the worst shampoos I've ever tried. Within a few uses, I developed serious flakes. I switched shampoos and my dry scalp issues disappeared.
I have tried countless shampoos and conditioners, and several in the TiGi, Catwalk, and Tony&Guy Line. I have to say that this is one of the WORST shampoos I have ever tried, ever. I have nice hair to begin with, and this shampoo made it horrible. TiGi Moisture Maniac made my hair dull, and GAVE ME DANDRUFF, which I had never had in my life!!! The dandruff went away immediately after I switched to regular shampoo (herbal essence). This shampoo sucks, I have to be truthful and say that though I really, really like Tony&Guy's lines of styling products, I think they need to work on their shampoos and conditioners. I have yet to find a shampoo or conditioner from any of their product lines that is decent. None of their shampoos are capable of removing buildup in your hair from their own styling products.
I loved this shampoo/conditioner combo at first, but it started to make my hair kind of dull halfway through the second bottle. I also thought the packaging was cool at first, but it turned into a pain in the butt after a while. Pretty average.

text: Detroit's Joe Louis Arena is packed almost full. The crowd is in high spirits awaiting the entrance of the iconic band the Who. The band is set to perform in full their classic 1973 double album , 'Quadrophenia'- a story song cycle about the Mod movement in 1960's Britain and a homage to disaffected youth everywhere. Keith Moon and John Entwistle have passed. Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend soldier on. The Who last toured with 'Quadrophenia' in 1996 and 1997, but tonight's set seems somehow even more vital.The opener, Vintage Trouble, plays a solid set, wearing black and white and belting out sharp rhythm and blues and rock tunes.With an elaborate stage set, sea, sand and surf are projected on video screens in the back drop. Daltrey, Townshend and company appear and in short order tear into a powerful version of 'The Real Me'. Daltrey is in fine voice and Townshend performs with his signature windmills on electric guitar. A poignant rendition of 'Cut My Hair' soon follows as we get early insight into the narrator's angst, drugs and the mod social scene.Jamming guitars, cascading drums, over the top power and passion- 'The Punk and the Godfather' is performed with majesty. The Who are rock dinosaurs, but their playing nevertheless remains vital and inspired. Townshend takes the lead vocal on 'I'm One' - his voice a bit rough, but still quite good. As the Who progresses through 'Quadrophenia', we hear a leaping, charging, smoking version of '5:15'. The band is in full synch with Zac Starkey doing a brilliant job on drums. A recording of Keith Moon lends vocal assistance on 'Bell Boy'. 'Doctor Jimmy' is full-on rock and the 'Quadrophenia' song cycle ends with a resonant 'Love Reign O'er Me', with Daltrey singing to the fullest.The Who then finish off the show with a greatest hits package finale including 'Who are You?', 'Behind Blue Eyes', 'Pinball Wizard', 'Baba O'Reilly' and 'Won't Get Fooled Again'- crowd pleasers all, taking their audience to the classic rock summit. It is, however, their performance of 'Quadrophenia' that is the evening's cause for celebration. 'Quadrophenia' is an absolute career apex high point for the Who- a great story of rebellion and the mods verses rockers conflict. Lyrics and melodic phrases like "Zoot suit/White jacket with side vents/ Five inches long" on 'Cut My Hair' are indelibly etched into the collective conscious. "I'm dressed right for a beach fight, but I just can't explain…" The audience in the end leaves the arena elated.

Coach Mark Burrell said Saranac running back John Maye doesn't seem to get tired late in games when everyone else is wearing down.
Maye showed that Saturday, slipping through the defense for a 39-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter to give the Chiefs some separation from Saranac Lake.
Saranac went on to beat the Red Storm 34-13 in a Champlain Valley Athletic Conference football game. It was possibly the Chiefs' first win against Saranac Lake.
"It's been a long time. Long before my era, I think," Burrell said. "I don't even know if Saranac's ever beat Saranac Lake.
"But it was a real great team win. I thought everybody contributed and just played some great football."
Saranac Lake's Lance Ackerson took off down the middle of the field for a 60-yard touchdown early in the third quarter to put his team within 14-13. On Saranac's next drive, quarterback Ethan Goslin connected with Maye on a 32-yard passing play, and then Maye scampered into the end zone from the 5-yard line for a 21-13 lead.
After getting a defensive stop, the Chiefs (3-4) took a two-touchdown advantage when Maye sprinted for his fourth touchdown with 9:40 left in the game. Saranac's Lance Hackett tacked on one more score with a 15-yard run.
Maye finished with 175 yards on a whopping 41 carries. The Chiefs moved the ball through the air as well, with Goslin frequently evading pass rushers as he completed 10-of-20 passes for 168 yards. The quarterback missed last week with an injury, and Burrell said he didn't decide that Goslin would play until an hour before the game.
Ryan Kneussle caught four passes for 69 yards, and Maye had two catches for 49 yards.
Burrell said he tried to mix up the play calling.
"We've got a good offensive line, and Saranac Lake kind of plugged up some holes early, so I wanted to spread it out a little bit and be able to run and pass," Burrell said. "Our O-line gave us a good amount of protection, and it was good to see. And John just ran so inspired today."
Saranac never trailed in the game and led 14-7 at the half thanks to Maye's 3- and 20-yard scoring runs.
Ackerson and Dylan Gunther were the bright spots in Saranac Lake's (4-3) offense. Ackerson rushed for 150 yards on 14 carries, while Gunther, who caught a 14-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter, totaled four receptions.
Tristan Fitzgerald was 11-for-22 passing for 63 yards, a touchdown and an interception.
Burrell said the Chiefs were able to hold Saranac Lake's offense in check by defending the screen game, adding that his defensive ends played very well.
The Chiefs had lost their last two four games played (they also earned a forfeit win), and Maye said they had to refocus this week.
"Our practices needed a lot of work," he said. "There was a lot of goofing around, a lot of just not focusing. We had some meetings; we had some time to talk. We just kind of worked it out and made our practices more serious. We all worked hard, and we got it done in practice."
The senior back hopes the win will send Saranac into the playoffs with some momentum. The Chiefs face AuSable Valley next week in a Section VII Class C semifinal. Saranac Lake secured the No. 1 seed, and the playoff bye that goes with it, earlier in the season.
"It's the start of us getting that banner," Maye said. "We just gotta keep working. Hopefully, in two weeks when we play them again — if we beat AuSable — we can do the same thing."

player exodus
January 29, 2013 in Uncategorized
i am not a nay sayer and i really hate to be critical in a negative light. that having been said i feel it pertinent to highlight Juandre' Kruger's choice to play in france. while it is clear f. louw was a revelation in the fetcher role throughout the season and having heinko in the scrums against the irish was helpful too. but come on people and come on sportsman we need to develop a local brand of rugby that is unbeatable and i think if you don't play in south africa you should be allowed to play in the green and gold.
ruan pienaar was another player who played above average and forced me to admit that he was the better scrummie of the season when placed against vermaak and hougaardt.
but i watch super rugby and i've struggled to watch a full eighty of the northern hemiphere rugby. it is slow and often dominated by the kicking tee and referee. that being said it is where the next world cup will be held.
so back to the point at hand. here we have one of the two prospects for the RWC2015 leaving SA to ply his trade overseas, not able to attend workshops because of the fact that overseas clubs do not have to abide by SARU edicts or policies. and the seasons are so congested what whith SR and the inbound test window and then there is the championship to think about…
i saw a headline the other day about Dan carter being offered obscene amounts of money to play in europe but the beauty of NZRU is if you don't play in NZ you can't be an all black. so as long as DC wants to wear the black and white he will never take the big money.
in the end we are not NZ we are RSA but i think that to be the best in the world our internal competition for position needs to be played out on our soil.
the way SR goes and the international window and RC and the out bound tour are there is space for a lot of players to get exposure. what SARU need to put in place is a system of compulsory rotation. if they don't i fully expect the players union to insist on it. it's tough and the body can only take so much before it goes bust. i think the reason why these players are leaving for the north is the slower softer competition and the money but the slower softer competition is a serious problem when it comes to taking the step up.
just my humble opinion and i am not the coach. 100% bokke behind the team until the end!!!!

5. The Breeders
Once upon a time, there was a band called The Pixies. But then their bassist left to play with this band. Twice. If you remember the '90s at all, you remember the rubbery bass riff that kicks off "Cannonball" and probably little else. Which is as good reason as any to watch them perform Last Splash — their breakthrough album — in its entirety.

RXG-242-11 is one of the heavier albums of our Russian mastermind Senmuth. It has a dystopian sound and is mostly straight forward without forgetting to include weird industrial samples. The album may be less majestic and coherent than some of his other works but the heaviness should please to a larger public here and be of a certain interest.
Most of the songs have an industrial space flow that reminds of bands such as Ministry, Samael or Voivod. The guitars are sharp, the synthesizers are both upbeat and atmospheric and the weird vocals are harsh, robotic and quite addicting for this kind of music.
"Like Nobody Else" is maybe the heaviest song written in the early years by this one man project while the following "Enuma Anu Enlil" has some modern Visual Kei sounds to me and shows the high degree of diversity that can even be found on this record. On the other side, Senmuth still included calmer and introspective moments on his album such as the opener "Megiste Syntaxis I: Path Of Sirius" that is a great atmospheric track but gives you a somewhat wrong impression of what follows shortly afterwards. The circle is though closed when Senmuth decides to finish the record with the relaxing second part "Megiste Syntaxis II: The Heart Of The Milky Way".
In the end, we have one of the most diversified and entertaining records in the whole long discography of Senmuth. It's not his most inspired, complex and intellectual work, though. Personally, it's still great to know that this guy just wants to rock out sometimes and breaks all conceptual boundaries as on this surprising record that should be hailed and praised by the metal and gothic community as well. Anybody that finds the conceptual instrumental records of Senmuth too intellectual, boring and overwhelming might be positively surprised by this release which underlines my opinion that anybody can find an album that he adores in the large discography of this Tchaikovsky of the twenty-first century that doesn't need The Five to excell with his visionary solo works.
The seventh album released under the Senmuth name, the strangely titled 'RXG-242-11' shows yet another slow but steady development in the overall sound of this industrial metal act. While the brand of typically upbeat, distorted and 'danceable' metal Senmuth usually employs still faces the same issues it has suffered from it's inception, there is solace to be found in the music's softer segments. While this Russian one-man project has never gone long without throwing unconventional ethnic styles into the mix, never before in his career has the integration of metal and non-metal aspects been so effective. There is still alot of mediocrity that seems to have gone along with the sheer quantity of music the man has made over the years, but interspersed between the partially-memorable heavy tracks are a few stunning gems that really speak of Senmuth's talent and potential as an artist.
Perhaps as a foreshadowing to Senmuth's next project ('Kami-No-Miti') which would focus greatly around the Oriental school of music, 'RXG' has a heavier emphasis on Chinese/Japanese music than usual, although some Indian and classical European stylings appear throughout the album. It is actually the influence of European classical music that seems to be the biggest development here in terms of actual sounds. Before this, Senmuth generally stuck to extracting music from cultures outside that of Europe. While it may simply be a matter of personal taste, I find the European stylings (generally based in the piano presence, while the string orchestration maintains an eastern flair) to feel very natural for the direction Senmuth seems to be pushing towards. While some of his softer orchestrations have sounded a bit too artificial and novel in the past, he is clearly improving his craft of making the music (and album as a whole) feel more fluid and organic.
Among the highlights of 'RXG' is the epic oriental track 'Coast Of The Carried Away Lives,' which proves the point of Senmuth's improved metal/non-metal integration, and the stunning 'Megiste Syntaxis' duology, which is the closer to my version of the album. Probably not coincidentally, all of the most memorable and profound tracks are instrumental. While I have made it clear in past reviews that I am not a fan of Senmuth's distortion-box vocal style, the strength of the instrumentals makes the wound that much deeper. Should Senmuth release a completely instrumental album and recreate the magic of some of the more powerful work here in 'RXG,' I am sure this talented artist could have his first potential masterpiece of his career on his hands. Until then, 'RXG-242-11' is no deriviation from the Senmuth formula, but certainly among the stronger releases under his belt at the point of this album's creation.
Alright, so Senmuth is getting quite a lot of attention lately. He's quite clearly a crazed Russian madman who feeds upon the souls of his previous album, thus requiring him to churn out more ridiculous amounts of music to sustain himself lest he wither away into radioactive dust. Logically, what you feed on should have some substance to it, some meat. Trust me on this one when I say that Senmuth isn't going to starve any time soon -- he's got his recipe down to a fine art already.
Anywho, according to his website this is apparently on his seventh release out of a good 49 full length albums. I must admit, I didn't have much faith in him at first. Who could possibly make this much material in such a short timespan and have it be anything better than average? Of course, were you to ask this of Senmuth he'd probably blow you to pieces with a laser beam from his walking suit of musical instruments. To put it bluntly, this is a mixture of spacey keyboard melodies, a million different synths, a fairly realistic sounding and creatively programmed drum machine, middle eastern ambience, some of the weirdest vocal work I've ever heard and simplistic yet somehow grippingly memorable industrial riffs blending into emotional progressive ones. Sound strange? It is, but it all fits together remarkably well.
For example, the opener ("Velikiy Zamysel Sozdatelya", or "Great Plan Of The Founder") is a rapidly building yet innovative track. It seems almost theatrical, provides you with a slew of progressing images involving space militants boarding ships to head off to war out in the icy universe. Senmuth's vocals cut in fairly quickly and are distorted beyond belief, making him sound like he's barking orders into a crackling walkie-talkie. Meanwhile you've got a keyboard, a violin synth playing sinister and disturbing tunes with a guitar buried beneath layers of fuzz crunching away in the background. After the near 5 and a half minute wall of sound finishes (without overstaying its welcome, no less) you're left still remembering all the tunes you heard -- and each song somehow manages to have a good bunch of 'em.
I'd also like to bring attention to the third track, "Rozhdenie Vremeni". This is another gem off this wackjob of space-man metal. Its first riff is only slightly reworked and sped up from that of the opener's first one, but with the aid of a new backing keyboard melody it compells you to headbang and... Destroy alien invaders? There are numerous sections of the song that just blend seamlessly together with this very same atmosphere -- you'd be hard-pressed to notice they even arrived without actually trying. One minute you're being dealt a rapid industrial riff, then the next there are are synths of pianos floating by while Senmuth does more distorted barking inbetween pounding snare-based drumwork. There's even a solo! Of course, as is Senmuth's way of constructing music, this solo is just as strange as the rest of the music. It's noodley, bendy, and floats in systematically chaotic directions like a jellyfish keeping equilibrium in a tsunami.
The flaws of the album crop up here and there, but most of them have counterbalances. The production is fairly fuzzy and gritty. While I enjoy it myself, due to the production the instruments can become somewhat buried while the guitar plays. Senmuth's vocals may turn off some listeners as well; he has a very nasal singing voice when not using a harsher tone. He also sings in Russian, which will turn away those who don't speak the language who rely on lyrical substance. However, he is still quite dynamic and has a good vocal range in the higher octaves while staying out of the realm of gutturals. There is also the issue of how well the album itself flows. One or two songs seem to end abruptly and cut into the next. This is quite prevalent after the second track which has no logical conclusion and just cuts off feeling unfinished. This IS his 7th full-length, so one must imagine that he should have had some practice and not have made such a mistake despite the timeframe in which his music is composed.
In the end though, this is still a remarkably well made album that takes elements from every possible corner of the musical spectrum and still differentiates from Senmuth's equally vast and varied catalogue. It may just be sucking up at this point, but I really can't help it anymore. This is music that caters to fans of the experimental and avant-garde, the progressive and industrial. Hell, a good deal of Senmuth's melodies are clearly classically influenced. I personally love the soaring orchestral synths and samples as well; they contribute to the heavily atmospheric and theatrical mood of the album. Nearly all the solos used have great sticking power. Not one instrument is wasted and each one has been thoughtfully placed to avoid sounding mechanical and formulaic. Because of all these factors, this really should be remembered for years to come. This is powerful. This is monumental. This is, dare I say it, different. Let's say it together now... This. Is. Epic.
Standout tracks: Velikiy Zamysel Sozdatelya, Rozhdenie Vremeni, Mezdu Voshodom I Zakatom, Gorizony Sobytiy, Megiste Syntaxis I: Path Of Sirius, Megiste Syntaxis II: Il Cuore Della Via Lattea...

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Singh, Rakesh URN etd-07032011-134251 Document Title The influences of and responses to the labour market for chemical engineering skills in the South African pulp and paper industry Degree MBA Department Gordon Institute of Business Science Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Prof M Sutherland Supervisor Keywords
- chemical engineering skills
- labour market
Date 2010-11-10 Availability unrestricted Abstract Modern day chemical engineers are largely responsible for the design, improvement and maintenance of processes that transform raw materials to products in an economical and sustainable manner. These individuals are highly paid and, due to the diversity of the field, the demand for individuals with the right level of training and experience is high. Despite the high demand and the attractiveness associated with an illustrious career however, the pulp and paper industry experiences a 15 to 20% labour turnover rate.
This research sets out to explore the influences of, and the responses to, the labour market for chemical engineering skills in the South African pulp and paper industry. An understanding of the labour markets would afford stakeholders the opportunity to curb the high turnover rates and allow for the ability to respond to changes in the labour market.
The research adopted a qualitative study which involved in-depth interviews with the stakeholders of the pulp and paper industry. A total of 18 stakeholders were interviewed. Due to distance and logistical constraints, some interviews were conducted telephonically. A semi structured interview guide line was used. Fine grained content analysis and descriptive statistics were used to extract key constructs from the data analysis obtained during the interview process.
The outcome of the research has resulted in a better understanding of the labour markets for chemical engineers in the industry. The findings provide key insights to factors that stakeholders consider as crucial in enhancing the effective use and retention of chemical engineers in the pulp and paper industry.

Concordia University ABSN Fall 2013
0May 3, '13 by 3shaaaAny pre-nursing applicants to CUI's ABSN program for Fall 2013? Deadlines are right around the corner!
0May 17, '13 by lorenaerHi! I am new to this website and really don't know where to ask this...I just finished freshman year and was totally idiotic and didn't put in too much effort...I have an overall 2.0 gpa and I want to apply to UT houston nursing program this january. I think that with 2 summer classes and my next fall semester...I may raise my gpa to a 3-3.2 maybe but I'm not sure if that would be enough to get me into the program. I really really regret letting my gpa drop so low, any type of comment would be appreciated! I just dont know if I will make it even if I try my hardest to get a 3.0 gpa. Seems like everyone gets a lot higher than that.... help!
0May 30, '13 by EhKim86I applied for summer 2013 but didn't get invited for an interview so I'm reapplying for fall 2013 and really hoping I get into the program! I had stats pending but am finished now and am just waiting for my final grade on my transcript. I have all A's with two B's and volunteer experience, so I'd like to think I'm pretty competitive! From what I've been told by past students and staff, entrance into the program is extremely competitive so having a class pending might count against you, but I don't think it will eliminate your chances! GL!

Two years ago a very sweet older gentleman gave me some Sugar Candy lilies. When the lilies started coming up I discovered I had been lucky enough to get an extra freebie. About 6 months ago the whole bed was covered in what folks here told me was Fishwort.
I practically dug up the whole bed and pulled out a 5-gallon bucket of this nasty smelling stuff. Since the root system runs so deep and there are many other plants in the bed (clematis, lilies, hybiscus, etc), I still have some of the stuff coming back. Any ideas on how to get completely rid of it without losing the other plants? I found one root about 6-8 inches down right through the middle of the clematis root system. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I wasn't sure what "fishwort" was but I found the latin name, Yikes, "houttuynia cordata" or chameleon plant is very, very difficult to eradicate. It's considered highly invasive and it's rhizomes will regrow if you toss them aside. Do a gardenweb search on "Houttuynia" or "chameleon plant." (Get a glass of wine 1st...and a box of tissue:) I once planted bishop's weed, not knowing what it was. I thought I'd never get rid of it! And I don't think it's as bad as fishwort. Reportedly it takes several treatments of Round-Up to kill it. Even if you could spray it. The only other alternative is to dig it out. I know, I know! Either way, it's a major task. BUT...IF you choose to use an herbicide you can wrap the plants in plastic trash bags to protect them from the spray....all the way to the bottom of the stems. I really don't know how many sprays it will take to do a complete kill. Then you might think it's dead and it might rear it's ugly head again. Another thing, if you use Round-Up don't get the pre-mixed stuff. Go for the "super concentrate." Make sure you spray on a very hot day when there's no wind. I'd also use a "spreader sticker" to help the spray adhere to the plant leaves. Read about it here; http://www.plant-care.com/1271-wetting-agents.html You can find it in most garden centers. BTW, the Chinese name for the plant means "smelly fish." I wish you luck. |

The 55th Annual Grammy Awards took place last Sunday, February 10th, and – to put it lightly – there was a lot going on in the industry. If you didn't tune into music's biggest night, however, there's no need to worry; we have got you covered with a chronological summary of what you missed in urban music:
LL Cool J hosted the evening's show for the second year in a row, the exact reason for which wasn't exactly understood – that is, until he spoke about how the iconic image of Michael Jackson cradling both arms full of Grammys inspired him to reach for the stars. He also heavily alluded to Whitney Houston, whose untimely passing last year forced a series of unprecedented changes in last year's Grammy Awards. Instantly, LL Cool J brought substance to the celebration, and we were reminded that while he may not be the most relevant figure in music today, he can still be appreciated for the eloquent, charming, and hard-working stand-up guy he is.
Despite losing out in the Best New Artist, Record of the Year, and Album of the Year categories, Frank Ocean still had a great night, picking up a Grammy for his work on "No Church in the Wild," which won for Best Rap/Song Collaboration. He also earned a Grammy for Best Urban Contemporary Album, his debut studio album Channel Orange beating out rival Chris Brown's Fortune. Brown opted to clap for the winner, although recent reports of a violent brawl with Ocean outside a recording studio suggest that the whole thing is just an act. Despite apparent injuries to his fingers, Ocean, who told Billboard that he was "knee-deep" in recording his sophomore album, later engaged in a visually impressive, yet vocally "safe," performance of "Forrest Gump."
Miguel performed this year's Best R&B Song, "Adorn," with help from Wiz Khalifa. Miguel's vocals and suave moves were enough to make it satisfactory, and – despite not really having a set – the gentlemen's contrast-based YSL suit patterns against the red backdrop provided a visual that matched the performance's mood exactly.
Justin Timberlake made his great return to the stage as he belted out smooth renditions of his latest singles from The 20/20 Experience, which drops on March 19th. Dressed classy as ever before his live band and back-up singers, JT was joined by Jay Z for his album's first single, "Suit & Tie," before reclaiming the stage for the organ-infused performance debut of his next single, "Mirrors." Social media was abuzz with various Timberlake-related trending topics, and even the commercials were laced with JT, as he has apparently scored high-profile endorsements with both Target and Bud Light Premium. Timberlake also took over Billboard's official star-studded Grammy after-party, which had everyone ecstatic with praise, including recording artist Kelly Rowland. "Justin Timberlake is killin RIGHT NOW!" she tweeted. "Dude ain't playin'!" The quality of his Grammy performances begs the question of why he even went on a hiatus to begin with, and – if the hype serves as any indication – it's apparent that we can expect great things from The 20/20 Experience.
Bruno Mars performed "Locked out of Heaven" before being joined by Sting, who sang his Police hit, "Walking on the Moon." At some point Damian and Ziggy Marley showed up, with Bajan singer Rihanna in tow, fusing their voices into a "Could You Be Loved" tribute to their father, who would have turned 68 this month. While the performance wasn't boring, per se, it wasn't exactly "Grammys tribute" quality, with many on social media opining that it did, in fact, seem rushed, and that it was not even minutely representative of the legendary Bob Marley's extensive body of work. Although Rihanna's voice and accent naturally lend to the reggae genre, her earlier performance, a duet titled "Stay" with newcomer Mikky Ekko, was much more solid in vocal talent and grace. Taylor Swift, whose opening performance was largely lackluster despite extravagant costumes and theatrics, could take more than a few pointers from the Unapologetic star's stage presence.
Many of the urban categories weren't televised. Drake beat out 2 Chainz, Nas, Lupe Fiasco, The Roots, and Ricky Rozay to win Best Rap Album for his sophomore effort Take Care during the pre-show, later going on to drop the music video for his latest single, "Started From The Bottom" and also revealing that his third studio album will be titled, "Nothing Was The Same."
Beyoncé's "Love On Top" earned the Grammy for Best Traditional R&B Performance, and Oprah later took to Twitter – all while Bey was announcing Justin Timberlake's legendary return – to announce that next Saturday's episode of Oprah's Next Chapter will feature the Queen herself. It seems Beyoncé has been everywhere lately, having performed at both President Obama's second inauguration and Pepsi's Super Bowl XLVII Halftime Show in recent weeks, subsequently announcing her first major tour in three years, The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour 2013.
Jay Z wasn't exactly trailing behind his honey, either. Hov showed up Bey, winning both Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance for "N****s in Paris" with Kanye West, who was a no-show due to his trip down to Brazil with pregnant girlfriend Kim Kardashian. The duo also won a Grammy for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for "No Church in the Wild" with Frank Ocean and The-Dream during the televised portion, as mentioned above. The-Dream, who was not dressed in his best attire, was the subject of humor, as Jay Z half-jokingly thanked the "swap meet" for The-Dream's two hats. The fact that the "time's up" transition tunes completely halted when Jay returned to the mic, approaching to take the jab, speaks to the perception of his importance in urban music, and in the musical discourse as a whole.

Apparently Autodesk will send us a questionaire/survey about our experience with our reseller...
Now I am being informed by our reseller that we need to deal with "a cultural difference":
- Apparently Dutch people (ie. our reseller's customers), when very very very satisfied will grade max with a 8 out of 10.
- Apparently American people (ie. Autodesk) , when confronted with a 7 out of 10 will assume "low performance".
Afraid they will get "high ratings" from Dutch customers (7 or 7.5) and then get punished for "bad performance" from Autodesk, they have been stressing us to grade high.
Now I know (from school, experience with survey's etc) that Dutch will never rate anything really out of the middle (really bad=3, really good=8, 1,2,9 and 10 are never used) but I was wondering if Autodesk really does not take such matters into account when grading internationally.
As in: is our reseller trying to get an overly high rating by claiming all of this?
Rarely have I ever been so jaded that a business will get lower than a 4 on a satisfaction survey.
On the other side I've got to be absolutely elated to give a 10. Rarely is this the case.
We all have our own personal quirks as to what is acceptable. Culture AFAIK makes no difference.
But maybe it is all culture if you believe Malcom Gladwell: Outliers
Have you ever tried to contact Autodesk direct if you have a product license /subscription/access problem?
They also do best for companies with more than 1-3-5 license needs, help get you through software audits, add-ons, training, and help you decide if you're ready to move on to other software packages.
Yes, I have been forced to contact Autodesk direct about license needs etc... because my reseller failed to deliver.
Autodesk helped out, directly, effectively and immediately... within the time my reseller won't even call back (even when promised by them).
The "get started with your autodesk product" forums are really useful in this.
It is not that we have 3 or 5 seats either, it just looks as if the reseller just wants its cut on the yearly subscruiption money and no further obligations.
Sounds like you need to be more honest about answering the Survey then as opposed to following your reseller's fishy "suggestions".
My reseller is great and responsive, 99% it's same day and within hours, but I'm in a region of the world were I can pick more than one and have moved when my service needs were not met. They get high marks from me whenever I get a survey, and they don't email me to tell me how to vote.
Yes, that was my first impression at well.
But moving to another here is not really an easy option (unless you want out of Autodesk products) and I'm starting to get the impression that the bad service etc is mostly because of the salesman who handles our account: when I bypass him, I get instant help and all that.
I guess at times it is just not so easy to evaluate your reseller - especially if you consider that if you grade them low and Autodesk punishes them, they end up with less services to give to you.

Berger & Argenti Entubar Cigars
Berger & Argenti Entubar
One of the more unusual vitolas you'll ever see, the design of the Berger & Argenti Entubar cigar will nonetheless enthrall you with it's Old-World flavor and construction. Utilizing an long-forgotten rolling style in which each leaf and stalk of the Cuban seed Nicaraguan filler is cut and aged as one before being rolled into 'scrolls', skilled torcedors are able to provide a better draw and burn than if they had used the more common bunching technique. But what really makes this cigar unique is two-fold. The first is the caramel-colored Ecuadorian Connecticut shade wrapper harvested in the 'Desflorado' method, where the tobacco plant's buds are cut before flowering. The second and most evident is the Jalapa-grown ligero 'fuse' which extends a quarter-inch from the foot.
Smooth and velvety, the wrapper provides a cane sugar sweetness to balance some of the allspice and pepper that pours from the double-capped head while the smoker puffs away the cares of the day. Packed into reinforced 20 count boxes and with a number of different sizes, this cigar should appeal to all fans of medium-full-bodied Nicaraguan stogies. In the end, the Berger & Argenti Entubar is a quality cigar from some of the best in the business which is a perfect fit for Connecticut-loving aficionados who prefer a bolder profile, in the vein of Perdomo Exhibicion Connecticut or Diamond Crown.

Is there anything amiss in investing in a company that deals with medical waste including aborted fetal material & fetuses if your own particular morals are against abortion.
Would it be wrong to own a bar if you believe drinking alcohol is a sin/abomination. Earlier this year, Mitt Romney nearly landed in a politically perilous controversy when the Huffington Post reported that in 1999 the GOP presidential candidate had been part of an investment group that invested $75 million in Stericycle, a medical-waste disposal firm that has been attacked by anti-abortion groups for disposing aborted fetuses collected from family planning clinics. Coming during the heat of the GOP primaries, as Romney tried to sell South Carolina Republicans on his pro-life bona fides, the revelation had the potential to damage the candidate's reputation among values voters already suspicious of his shifting position on abortion. But Bain Capital, the private equity firm Romney founded, tamped down the controversy. The company said Romney left the firm in February 1999 to run the troubled 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City and likely had nothing to with the deal. The matter never became a campaign issue. But documents filed by Bain and Stericycle with the Securities and Exchange Commissionя┐╜and obtained by Mother Jonesя┐╜list Romney as an active participant in the investment. And this deal helped Stericycle, a company with a poor safety record, grow, while yielding tens of millions of dollars in profits for Romney and his partners. The documentsя┐╜one of which was signed by Romneyя┐╜also contradict the official account of Romney's exit from Bain. Spin on it? The document also states that Romney "may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power with respect to" 2,116,588 shares of common stock in Stericycle "in his capacity as sole shareholder" of the Bain entities that invested in the company. That was about 11 percent of the outstanding shares of common stock. (The whole $75 million investment won Bain, Romney, and their partners 22.64 percent of the firm's stock the largest bloc among the firm's owners.) The original copy of the filing was signed by Romney. OPPPS! |

Yes, I think it would be hypocritical, but all politicians are liars and hypocrites. The bottom line, though, is we only have two choices here. |
Well he slipped out of that snare, noose, lasso previously he can't very well say oh well it was an oversight I sign lots of papers worth millions without paying attention. He could flip back to his old evolved, devolved position depending on the side of the stirrups your on. Or he could simply bluster & say what difference does it make I wasn't involved with the procedure or the choice I was only making a buck cleaning up the mess left by it all. I think I would go with that one! Were I him eeeeccch! |

Maybe he can claim it was before that "epiphany" he claims to have had. You know, the one that turned him from a moderate with some bits of borderline liberal in him to that "new born again" conservative. Then again, there are those voters, as evidenced by some posters her on HT, that it really doesn't matter what Romney says or does, did or didn't do, believes or doesn't believe. As long as he isn't Obama, they are happy to vote for him. Anyone as long as it isn't Obama. Remember, that "circus, dog and pony show" the Republicans subjected the voting public to? Yup, that one with 9 candidates? As long as any one of them wasn't Obama, didn't matter who really won the nomination, they would vote for that winner. Hopefully there are enough voters that are smart enough to stay clear of a Romney win for president. |
NIV, if you're alluding to the fact that I said that, you definitely have me confused with someone else. |
Well like most things that cause trouble it's the lie told about it. Good investigative reporting! Good work! When the spin is in who will be the first to type it here. |

I'm going to jump right in. I don't know for sure if he did...if he didn't . If he was involved or not. Investors don't always know what is in the waste basket. If he was with Bain in 1999 or 2001 or 2003. Each person is going to believe what they want it to be. That was then and this is now. He is no more or no less of a flip flop than Obama. The Democrat Obama is carrying and dragging his baggage also. I don't think the libs ever questioned Obamas baggage. I believe Mitt Romney is a better human being in every instance than Obama. |
"I believe Mitt Romney is a better human being in every instance than Obama. " What makes the President a bad human being? Or worse than Romney? |
"I believe Mitt Romney is a better human being in every instance than Obama. " What makes the President a bad human being? Or worse than Romney? |
What's this? Romney was lying during his first run for prez? Whoda guessed? So Romney is pro-choice when it's pro-profitable, A true businessman at heart who would surely give us the business....for a profit. |

frank...my opinion of Obama comes from his track record. It doesn't matter what I think about him...he is of no importance to me . I could list 1-50 all his shortcomings in my point of view and you or another would list 1-50 attributes in his favor......from your point of view. If I thought he would be a better President in the next 4 years I would vote for him. His track record stinks, in my view. I didn't say Obama is a bad human being. I said Romney is |
" I said Romney is a better person in every respect than Obama and my reasons for thinking that are personal." How is he a better person? Just explain that. If your reasons are personal, why would you bring it up on a message board? My guess is that you don't have any reasons. It was just a grand statement that you can't back up. If not, name 5 of the 50 shortcomings that make Romney a better person. |
Since I don't think any of us are virtual members all our reasons would be personal? Its of no interest to me if anyone like anyone or not the topic is not about likability. |
"all politicians are liars and hypocrites." I have a real problem with this. NO, they're not all liars and hypocrites. If you believe this, please be true to your self and stay out of the voting booth. If one believes this, one is a liar and a hypocrite for participating in the process. I personally believe that there are many unsung, good people in the democratic process of government, on the local, state and federal levels, and make it my task to find out who they are and support them, on both sides of the aisle. Vote for whomever you wish, houseful, but bottom line, this kind of attitude on the part of the citizenry poisons the whole shebang. And no cries of "they poisoned it first!", as that is silly. There are good, and dare I say, honest people working every day, and your comment is slap in the face to all of them, and to the citizens of this here democracy. Like cops, lawyers and yes, politicians, we rarely hear about the good ones, and never have a good word to say unless we need one to help us out of a mess. |
Obviously Romney has no problem profiting from the outcome of abortion no matter how he feels about the procedure itself. It's all about the money for him. |
Gee, when do you think the teaparty rank and file will finally wake up to the fact that they're just being used and manipulated by people that will throw them under the bus at the first opportunity? |

The system is corrupted by the need for larger and larger campaign chests requiring constant fund-raising and bowing and scraping before lobbyists and large donors carry that kind of money. I've been disappointed often enought by very good and honest politicians whose rise to prominence meant selling out principles to Party and political donors and special interests funding their campaigns. |
Oh I am so surprised that Romney is against abortion but if there is money to be had.....There is no conflict. batya, I do not know how honest your politicians are but our elected politicians are full of lies. They cannot get elected telling the truth. Not their fault it is the people's fault. That is who I think are liars. They vote for the biggest liar and they know they are being lied to but they want to hear the lie so they encourage the lie by voting for them time and time again. That is a lot of lies and liars. lol You only have to look at the Health Care issue. Who in their right mind would not want Affordable Health Care. The lie is so obvious but you have the support of that lie being said over and over. The biggest lie...."There will not be enough Doctors" Who thinks they are going to quit being doctors because more people have health care? But it is a lie the people support. |
You and me both Marshall. The system is set up for an honest politician to fail in his quest to remain honest . If all that money was spent on programs for the needy, imagine the good it could bring! There has to be a better way, the entire campaign issue needs to be completely overhauled with strict and minimal spending allotments attached to each person. It has become grotesque, what has to be spent in order to win an election. It is grotesque that all candidates end up being bought off by corporations,too. |
Oh, honey if you want to meet a bad bunch of leaders, come on over. "My" politicians pull stuff "yours" haven't even thought of yet. That's not my point. My point is that the concept of They are all scum makes for a self-fulfilling- prophesy type of government. And "they" are not all to be painted with the same brush. The good and honest cops, lawyers and politicians never get thier horns tooted, as it were, because no one believes they exist. Believe they exist, and you'd be surprised how many there are,. I'm aware that many think the same about other fantastical creatures, but I'll bet my bottom dollar that there are more than you think. Convincing them to join the top-dog race, however, winnows them down to those who can stomach all the lies, so it's a self-fulfilling population. I agree with you - Who in their right mind would not want Affordable Health Care. Totally. The stuff people swallow. Like I said, you should get a load of what's being peddled here and what people swallow that has nothing to do with reality. But 'nuff, said, I'm gonna go watch the news!!! (And I'm too excited about EDD to be upset about anything) |

frank...My observation of Obama and Mitt Romney is of personal nature not as leaders for #1. Obama ran for President strictly for his personal gain. He had no track record of any accompolishments humanitarian wise, period. He donated his time to no where and to nothing. I could list many characteristics that are troubling to me regarding Obama . Evidently depth of character means little to some when voting for a candidate or one would dig deeper into back grounds so one would not get surprises when one finds their elected candidate has little character. I usually am more interested in WHO a candidate is and how they tick first and foremost before I form an opinion on their leadership qualifications. |
citywoman you should take that act on the road. I did laugh. I am sure you could be Sarah Palins opening act. She does not read newspapers and can see Russia from her window. I will let frank respond since it was his question but had to say your answer was interesting humorous, but interesting. Very telling. |
....and of course Romney is running for humanitarian reasons. Down the rabbit hole. |
His whole life...what little we know of it... Very funny. |
Maybe CW IS Sarah Palin..Ever think about it? |
I suppose that the Presidents time working as a community organizer in Chicago, instead of making big bucks as a lawyer, was all about him. As far as not knowing anything about his life....I'm guessing that Houseful has not read the President's autobiography, doesn't want to read it and wouldn't believe it even she did read it !!! |
...and I suppose Romney's time at the head of Bain Capital outsourcing American jobs to SEAsia leaving Americans unemployed is something to celebrate. Not to mention off-shoring his monies to avoid paying taxes. What's not to love ? |
Hey, I don't think you can find anything more altruistic, patriotic, and self-efacing than setting up wholly owned, multi-million dollar limited partnerships in the Caymans. "Sankaty High Yield Asset Investors Ltd in 2012!!!" |
Gee the tone shift is astounding we go from a politicians previous evasion or lie to likeability what a hoot. |

Even if you invest in a medical waste corporation that handles such medical waste from abortion clinics, you're a hypocrite for claiming "pro-life". That's the most ignorant, despicable thing I've heard about Romney yet... If you're going to claim pro-life, wouldn't it be crucial that you know where your investment money is going, and where that profit is coming in from? Or doesn't that matter in the land of "do as I say, not as I do - because money is all that matters"? |

One mustn't leave a trail of clues about ones opinion and stance on issues that might come back and bite you on the butt apparently. Unlike Romney who takes BOTH sides of every issue. |
well particularly since he was cleared of it when it was brought up in the South Carolina primaries & then brushed under the rug with "oh no he wasn't connected to that & wasn't involved in the company" |

During the offseason we're often reminded that football players are large humans, so playing other sports is difficult, and usually comical.
Specifically, it seems the NFL elite struggle with sports that require the swinging of a club or bat to hit a circular object. Last April we thought Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald set the new standard for non-football sports failure when he whiffed on about 26 batting practice tosses prior to a Diamondbacks game.
Meet Trent Williams. He's large, and so is his golf swing.
Earlier this month Redskins linebacker Brian Orakpo held his annual Leukemia and Lymphoma Golf Classic, and as you can see in the video below posted yesterday by the D.C. Sports Bog, the expected awfulness ensued among Orakpo's teammates. But the highlight comes at the end when Williams, a 6'5″ offensive tackle who weighs 318 pounds, stepped into the tee blocks.
With that spin and dive, there could still be time for Williams to qualify for the Olympics this summer and lead the American men's diving team.
