The New York Times unloads a devastating story about the alleged New York City snowplow slowdown that became a big story in the right-wing media.
Naturally, the rabidly anti-labor Rupert Murdoch's New York Post led the charge, helped by a Republican City Councilman, Daniel Halloran, who happens to also be a little, well, off.
But the more that investigators look into Mr. Halloran's story, the more mystifying it becomes.
Mr. Halloran said he had been visited by two supervisors in the Transportation Department and three workers in the Sanitation Department. But the two transportation supervisors did not back up his story in interviews with investigators, according to two people briefed on the inquiries. And Mr. Halloran has steadfastly refused to reveal the names of the sanitation workers.
Here's the background on Halloran:
He is an adherent of Theodism, a neo-pagan faith that draws from pre-Christian tribal religions of northern Europe, and he led a branch in the New York area.
My favorite bit is that last month Halloran requested a building permit for a $60,000 expansion of his house, which Wells Fargo began foreclosing on a year ago. Meantime, his wife, whom he is divorcing, has filed for bankruptcy. Oh, also: They say they're selling the house.
But there's a media angle here, of course. What doesn't have one these days?
There is no question that the account has brought unusual attention to Mr. Halloran, who was a fixture on both national and local news networks for a week and a half after the blizzard.In a letter published in The Chief-Leader, which focuses on municipal labor issues, Mr. Halloran seemed to feel conflicted about all the uproar. In the letter he defended his original assertions about the slowdown, but also suggested it might have been small in scope, involving "a few bad apples."
"My goal was never to make headlines or anger people," he said.
So let's look at how this thing bounced around the mostly right-wing echo chamber.
Murdoch's Post, on December 30, started the story, naturally:
Selfish Sanitation Department bosses from the snow-slammed outer boroughs ordered their drivers to snarl the blizzard cleanup to protest budget cuts - a disastrous move that turned streets into a minefield for emergency-services vehicles, The Post has learned…
"They sent a message to the rest of the city that these particular labor issues are more important," said City Councilman Dan Halloran (R-Queens), who was visited yesterday by a group of guilt-ridden sanitation workers who confessed the shameless plot.
Investor's Business Daily, which makes Murdoch's Wall Street Journal editorial page look like Marxists, said "But in casting blame, look for the union label."
Dagen McDowell of Murdoch's Fox Business Network, pronounced that "It illustrates to some the stranglehold that unions have over taxpayers, state and local and state and local governments.
CNN got into the act, saying:
Here is what we have just learned. CNN has learned of this possible slowdown, an intentional slowdown, by transportation and sanitation workers, a slowdown ordered from high above. CNN has learned that five workers have admitted to one city council member that their supervisors ordered a slowdown to protest impending budget cuts.
Great journalism, CNN. Not only were you apparently relying on the word of "one city council member," and you pretended like it was you who got the scoop. Cool.
Later that afternoon, Fox News's "Your World with Neil Cavuto" brought on Councilman Halloran to push the "evil unions" story. Meantime, CNN pushed the story all day. Randi Kaye teased it at one point like this:
And just ahead: If true, it's an outrage, allegations that snow removal workers in New York City were slow removal workers, a deliberate slowdown. Workers say their supervisors ordered them to take it easy, leaving the city crippled, and you won't believe why.
The next morning, Investor's Business Daily wrote, and I am not kidding here—this lede for its editorial headlined "Bloody Snow":
A New York City councilman has exposed that labor bosses don't need "On the Waterfront"-style corruption to kill innocents. Sometimes all it takes is a snowstorm.
The Post got more outraged, too:
There was a method to their madness.
The selfish Sanitation bosses who sabotaged the blizzard cleanup to fire a salvo at City Hall targeted politically connected and well-heeled neighborhoods in Queens and Brooklyn to get their twisted message across loud and clear, The Post has learned.
The news flitted around the TV networks again and Halloran would end up making several appearances.
By the next day, the Post had downgraded its "selfish Sanitation bosses sabotaged the cleanup" story to "allegations":
There have been allegations that some sanit workers engaged in a slowdown and even ignored some streets at the direction of their bosses, who are angry over upcoming budget cuts.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Jasmine (Jazzy)!
Facts about Jasmine (Jazzy)
- Breed: Domestic Longhair
- Color: Calico Or Dilute Calico
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Long
Jasmine (Jazzy)'s Info...
I am already spayed, a special needs pet, up to date with shots, not good with kids, not good with dogs, and not good with cats.
Look at this longhaired beauty! Sweet Jazzy is a beautiful three year old long haired calico. She loves to have her head scratched and will go nuts for cat nip! She would do best in a quiet home where she can live like a princess is supposed to! She also prefers to be the only furry companion - but promises to love you forever! Her adoption fee is $150.
Other Pets at Saving Grace Animal Rescue of Maryland
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Jasmine (Jazzy), a Baltimore Domestic Longhair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Longhair for sale in Baltimore, or seeking a Domestic Longhair cat from a breeder in Baltimore.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Baltimore already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Baltimore breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Longhair breeders who help with Domestic Longhair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Baltimore paves the way for another one to be saved.

Kentucky Nursing Home Abuse Takes Many Forms, Some Lesser Known than Others
Selecting a nursing home for your loved one who can no longer live by themselves is a very hard task. Having already dealt with the emotionally draining part of making the decision, trying to find the right place can seem downright impossible. As Kentucky nursing home attorneys, we have witnessed the results of nursing home neglect and abuse. In previous articles, we have covered signs of abuse to look for when visiting residents and questions to ask before placing someone in a home or assisted living facility, but they bear repeating. We have also added a couple new issues to consider.
One of the most common signs of nursing home neglect is bedsores. Patients who are less mobile and do not receive the proper care can get bedsores, especially where their bodies are in almost constant contact with their beds. Bedsores can be avoided if the nursing home staff helps the resident move periodically to relieve these pressure points. Another obvious sign of neglect is malnourishment or dehydration. If you visit your loved one fairly frequently, you will be able to see a physical change if they are not getting enough to eat or drink.
Cuts or bruises may show neglect or abuse in nursing home residents as well. If residents aren't checked often enough, they may try to get up to reach something or use the restroom unassisted, and they will fall and injure themselves. Sometimes proper precautions aren't used when trying to move a resident, resulting in a fall from a bed or wheelchair. As awful as it sounds, sometimes residents are physically abused by the nursing home staff. If your loved one makes any type of accusation against one of the staff members, do not take it lightly. Make sure to have the complaint thoroughly investigated.
Incorrect medication dosing can also occur in a nursing home. The incorrect amount, or even the wrong drug altogether, could be given, causing complications or perhaps even death. As a recent case illustrates, these medication errors do not always involve pills. The estate of a deceased resident has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against an Illinois nursing home because a narcotic patch was put on her without a previous patch administered at the hospital being removed. The suit alleges that the extra dosage led to her death. When considering a nursing home, ask about their medication policies and what steps are put in place to make sure the residents are receiving the correct medication in the proper dosage.
A Louisiana nursing home lawsuit highlights another issue that needs to be taken into consideration. The wrongful death lawsuit states that a bedridden nursing home resident was killed when a dresser fell on her in her bed. Her estate is holding the nursing home responsible because her bed was situated close to the dresser, and the dresser was not secured to the wall to prevent it from falling. The placement and safety of furniture is probably not high on anyone's list when looking at nursing homes, but questions should be asked about the room arrangement and what safety precautions have been taken to prevent injury.
While the two more recent fatalities did not occur in a Kentucky nursing home, they could have happened anywhere. Please do your research and make well-informed decisions. If you have a friend or relative that you believe is already suffering from nursing home neglect, contact a Kentucky nursing home attorney to discuss the situation.

Artist-driven Curating and How it Could Help Galvanize a Screendance Movement
At the Screendance conference at ADF two weeks ago, I presented a paper that put forth an argument for the value of "artist-driven" curating in developing and galvanizing an art form. I wanted to propose a way of raising awareness about screendance among dance communities that would help dancers feel like they can enter this art form that is new to them with a set of useable skills and knowledge already in place. In forming a strategy, I drew upon Paulo Friere's concept of praxis from his pivotal book on liberation education, Pedagogy of the Oppressed. For Freire, the way to raise consciousness among any group of people is by posing problems. This process of asking questions and raising problems, activates both students and teachers in a dialogue that brings about reflection and leads to future action. Freire calls this pattern of action-reflection-action praxis, and it is through praxis that people engage in cognitive discovery of their lives that is transformative and empowering. From third world peasants to American dance artists, this process enables people to transform their daily realities and create lives full of meaning.
In my Kinetic Cinema screening series I posed a question to my guest curators from the NYC dance community, "What films and videos have influenced and inspired your work in dance?" Each curator came up with a completely different way of answering that question, and the works they chose revealed their own unique thinking patterns and artistic processes. Some curators, such as Malinda Allen, chose to curate autobiographical evenings, chronicling their artistic development through pivotal works that have inspired them. Other curators, like Levi Gonzalez, chose to show work that was new to them, and investigate the commonalities and differences between screendance and dance performance. Still others such as Jonah Bokaer and Kriota Willberg, have studied the history of film and video art extensively, and for their programs they decided to delve into very specific areas of research such as feminist video art and the female body, or "bad dance" films.

Kinetic Cinema is an example of what I have dubbed "artist-driven" curating, in which artists get together and share works that have meaning to them, often in informal intimate settings. The value of this type of curating is that it sparks artistic dialogue and exchange between the "makers" in a field, which can then lead to new art movements with distinct identities and progressive agendas. There have been numerous artist-driven curating collectives in the past that have had a huge impact upon the development of dance and film. A classic example of artist-driven curating is the Judson Dance Theater that formed in the early sixties as a collective of experimental dance artists interested in pushing the boundaries of post-modern dance. They were given the meeting room of the historical Judson Church to conduct their investigations and present public performances. The work that resulted from these programs went on to fuel the modern dance community for decades to come, with generations of dancers and choreographers spring-boarding off of the ideas and breakthroughs of the original collective.
On the film side, Jean Luc Godard would never have developed his unique and influential style without his competitive and close relationship with fellow French New Wave director, François Truffaut. Although they were very different in many ways, their artistic visions were honed and shaped by the intense dialogue and exchange of ideas they had with each other over many years. The French New Wave was born out of the critical discourse started by writers and cinephiles in the film journal, Cahiers du Cinéma. These writers were seeking a new type of cinema that didn't exist in France at the time, one that married their love of low-brow Hollywood genre flicks, with more experimental, intentional, and referential nuances found in high art, all brought together by their strong vision of the director as auteur. When these writers began acting upon their critiques, and creating work of their own, the French New Wave was born, and gave rise to a new era of filmmaking that completely changed the art form in much the same way the Judson Dance Theater group did for dance.
There have never been more ways for individuals to share and distribute their media content than there are today. With the rise of the internet, and the social media of Web 2.0, today's artist-driven initiatives are less inhibited by distance or financial limitations. Some recent examples of artist-driven projects for screendance on the internet are the social network dance-tech.net founded by NY-based dance media artist, Marlon Barrios-Solano, blogs such as this one, and email lists such as the media-arts-and-dance listserv moderated by Simon Fildes. These online forums are bringing together an international community of dance filmmakers who can interact and share work and ideas with each other easily and instantaneously. The result will be a more unified and cosmopolitan screendance community, where new entrants can feel part of an existing movement.
New art movements and genres don't get made overnight, but in the case of screendance, it is crucial to raise awareness and interest in the dance community. Through curating initiatives that pose questions and engage artists and audiences in dialogue, we can facilitate praxis. This process involves leading artists to examine, critique and analyze dance in media, and also to make work of their own, thereby transforming and shaping the genre and, by extension, the world. Artist-driven curating is one proven way to galvanize an arts community and further the identity of an art movement. These artist-driven initiatives, while often underground and informal, serve as springs that feed into larger institutions, such as dance film festivals, museums/galleries, performance venues, and universities. It is in these small, seemingly insignificant ways, that we can move screendance into cultural prominence, and make dance relevant in today's mediatized world.

Photo of the Week: Sustainable Rural Development in Mozambique
May 24, 2013
The Agro-Forestry Village Program is paving an environmentally and economically sustainable path for rural communities in Mozambique.
Employees at the tree nursery of the Green Resources forestry company in Nampula, Mozambique, load seedlings for a shipment to an agro-forestry plantation. The plantation is one of many that TechnoServe is helping establish on deforested, abandoned farmlands to mitigate the effects of years of slash-and-burn farming practices and promote sustainable economic opportunities for thousands of rural Mozambican workers and farmers.
With support from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food for Progress program, the Agro-Forestry Village Program represents an innovative and integrated approach to rural development. The program seeks to develop an environmentally sustainable plantation forestry industry and transform 10,000 subsistence farmers into commercial farmers growing crops such as soybeans, corn and groundnuts. In addition, TechnoServe is promoting investment in the grain and poultry industries and developing the capacity of local governments to drive economic development. In total, the program aims to break the cycle of poverty for roughly 60,000 workers, farmers and their family members.

Film and TV Actors Who've Starred in Video Games
9:00 PM PDT 4/9/2012 by Rebecca Ford
Actors are moving from the silver screen to the video game console, lending their voices to some of the biggest games on the market. "Mad Men" star Christina Hendricks starred in "Need for Speed: The Run" and Liam Neeson voiced the main character's father in the postapocalyptic "Fallout 3." Often, their likenesses are replicated onscreen, so gamers can have a street fight as Carmen Electra, or a street race as Vin Diesel.

Meaningful conversations about brand, from Davis Brand Capital.
Noam Cohen wrote in the New York Times this weekend — Twitter on the Barricades – analyzing the impact of Twitter on the events of the last several days in Iran. There is no question that Twitter has been influential in transmitting and spreading what is happening on the ground there. But focusing solely on the Twitter-effect misses the larger and more consequential communication story. Any one communication tool in a web of such tools does not act alone in producing tremendous social network effects. What is especially noteworthy in the information transfer that is occurring around the dramatic events in Iran is how utterly dispersed yet interwoven and mutually reinforcing the various expression and transmission outlets are – both analog and digital.
Cohen himself writes that "skeptics note that only a small number of people used Twitter to organize protests in Iran, and that other means — individual text messaging, old-fashioned word of mouth and Farsi-language Web sites — were more influential." As we try to interpret history – as well as the impact of instant communication tools on history - in real time, it is not particularly useful to rate those tools individually on their degree of "influence." Rather, in trying to understand the social implications of our 21st century technology, it is more valuable to observe the loose collaboration of all those tools together – from Twitter to YouTube to blogs to broadcast. This collaboration is a potent and powerful system that enables the outside world to get closer to understanding what is really happening and to share that information with others.
On GPS, Fareed Zakaria interviewed Columbia's Sree Sveenivasan and NYU's Clay Shirky about the social media implications of what was happening. Shirky, who just gave a TED talk at the State Department about the social effects of emerging technology, made this larger point when he pointed out emphatically that it's the "ecosystem as a whole that matters here" not any one device or any one tool. He referred to the pattern of distribution and redistribution — that a message originally distributed via cell phone is then redistributed by computer and so on — as being an important dynamic in the information handoff. In Sveenivasan's and Shirky's minds, the phone is the seminal device on the ground in Iran and the only communication question that matters is whether or not you have connectivity and can send data. Communication is agnostic about the platform.
To that end, Mashable writes about Mousavi's Facebook post — "Today you are the media, it is your duty to report and keep the hope alive" — and the Facebook statement that the "so-called Twitter revolution is also proving itself to be much more than that."
Today and ever more, individual citizens are not simply tweeters or posters or bloggers — they are the media. And this has profound implications for governments, for companies, for media outlets, for business and for history. As if transparency were a choice in an environment with an untold numbers of reporters, cameramen and witnesses.
The question is not whether Twitter is the killer app. The question is, as anyone with a background in old-fashioned broadcast journalism knows well — are you able to transmit?

Sometimes you just need to shake your ass on the dance floor. Or in your living room. Or in the drivers seat of your car at a stoplight. Wherever the mood strikes you, this week's playlist has you covered.
It's full of some of the best indie rock dance jams out there, in my humble opinion at least. Some of them have some years behind them like Tori Amos' "Raspberry Swirl" that was by far the catchiest tune on her From the Choirgirl Hotel album out in 1998. (The video is a total trip and is definitely how I learned to "weird kid dance" as my friends call it. Check it out.) The title track though is a new favorite, by locals The Modern Savage. They've just released their new EP The Young Guns (buy it here) and if you haven't them live around town yet…well, you must be a hermit because they play all the time. "Shake, Shake, Shake" is by far my favorite the band does live, mostly because the little shoulder shimmy lead singer Jenni May does is infectious and impossibly adorable.
I've got a soft spot for the kind of song that manages to be clever and danceable at once; each of these songs in some way accomplishes that. Be it the lyrical narrative of the innate violence of nature in Metric's "Stadium Love" or the simple directive in "Dance Yrslf Clean" by LCD Soundsystem, all of these songs will help you get your groove on.

Passion is a required ingredient for success in any profession, and that especially applies to football. When a players' passion diasappears, so does his career.
After years of taking the physical pounding on Sundays and beyond–in practice, training camp, and offseason workouts–it's common for a players' passion to gradually evaporate. When Kerry Collins initially retired this past summer before eventually unretiring to join the Colts, he said that although his passion for football remained, it wasn't at a level that drove him enough to prepare for another season.
Earlier today Saints center Olin Kreutz came to the same seemingly inevitable conclusion. But he did it abruptly in mid-season, when the summer sun is long gone, and the training camp grind is far in the rear-view mirror. Kreutz's sudden departure shows just how much his passion had dwindled at the age of 34 and during his 14th season.
Injuries were a factor after Kreutz missed two games this year due to a sprained MCL in his left knee. His agent Mark Bartelstein appeared on the The Waddle and Silvy Show in Chicago where Kreutz played for 13 seasons to explain what led to his client's decision.
"He called me on Monday and Tuesday and said, 'I don't know if I can keep on doing this. Went in and talked to (coach) Sean Payton and (general manager) Mickey Loomis and expressed it to them. They tried to talk him out of it. They wanted him to stay and he actually thought he was going to give it another whirl and called yesterday and said, 'I just know, it's not in my heart. I'm not going to keep collecting a check if I know deep inside me I can't bring what I need to bring to play every week.' "
Kreutz wanted to finish his career with the Bears, but a summer of very messy and very public negotiations prevented that from happening. Bartlestein speculated that emotionally Kruetz never fully recovered.
"It hurt him a lot the way it went down with the Bears. He wanted to finish his career with the Bears, so I think there's a part of it. But how much, it's hard to say."
The formality of releasing Kreutz could be completed by New Orleans in a few matter of days, or alternatively he could be placed on a reserve list, although Bartelstein said the Saints made it clear that if Kreutz has a change of heart they'd welcome him back immediately.
While Kreutz deserves credit for demonstrating class, the Saints are now left without their six-time Pro Bowl center.
Mark Tennant has filled-in for Kreutz, and he started all 16 games last year. But he's a second-year player now asked to anchor an offensive line blocking for a rushing attack that's ranked 18th, and only has 12 rushing touchdowns over the Saints' last 18 games.

Book Review: Fire and Smoke – A Pitmaster's Secrets by Chris Lilly
July 7, 2014
This year's batch of barbecue and grilling cookbooks continues to be one of the best in years, including the latest book from 4 time world champion Chris Lilly. Here's VIP blogger Chris Grove of NibbleMeThis.com's review of Fire and Smoke: A Pitmaster's Secrets.
The Big Bob Gibson team did it once again last May. Chris Lilly, Don McLemore, Ken Hess, and the crew from Decatur, Alabama won the World Championship BBQ Cookoff at Memphis In May, making them the first team to win 4 of these coveted World Championships.
How would you like a peek at this World Championship pitmaster's grilling secrets? Well you're in luck. Just before Memphis In May, Chris released his second book…Fire and Smoke: A Pitmaster's Secrets.
One of the best things I ate last year was the Southwestern Smoked Brisket Hash from this book. Last Spring, I was lucky enough to help out at the photo shoot for this book and Ken Hess made a batch of this for the photo but made eggs to order for everyone too. It was easily the best breakfast I have had in 10 years and I knew right then, that this was going to be another special book from Chris Lilly.
Fire and Smoke – A Pitmaster's Secrets
Chris Lilly
Physical description –
Fire and Smoke is a soft cover, medium sized (9 3/4″ by 7 3/4″) book with just over 250 pages. Chris starts off with an intro covering 18 types of grills that the reader might use and summarizes them, including the fuel used, convenience, ideal use, indirect and direct set ups, and cost. The book is organized into 11 sections broken out into
- Grilled Cocktails
- Appetizers
- Salads and Sandwiches
- Grilled Pizza
- Bellies and Bacon
- Steaks
- Mains
- Barbecue Leftovers (my favorite section)
- Side Dishes
- Grilled Desserts
- Sauces and Dry Rubs
In my opinion, Fire and Smoke is the companion piece to Chris' first book, Big Bob Gibson's Barbecue Book. Fire and Smoke complements Big Bob Gibson's Barbecue Book, it's the yin to its yang. While BBG was heavy on the BBQ side (multiple rib, brisket, and whole hog recipes), Fire and Smoke is more about pairing the convenience of everyday backyard grilling with the smoky flavors of traditional barbecue. Together these books make a great pair.
Fire and Smoke has 100 original recipes that while having complex flavors, they are simple enough that anyone can follow the instructions and recreate them on their grill.
The first thing I made was a brisket version of the Overstuffed Pulled Pork Potato. Nothing against pulled pork but I had just smoked a few briskets on my competition pit, aka "the Warthog".
The briskets were both over 15 lbs. I injected them with my NMT Beef Injection, seasoned them with my NMT Beef Rub, and smoked them a bit hot at 275°F until they were done.
The recipe didn't call for BBQ sauce but a BBQ place here adds it to theirs so I did. I used Albukirky's new Duke City Sweet which turned out to be perfect for this, it rocked with the brisket. This was fantastic but huge! I ended up splitting one with Alexis.
We also made the Seasoned Mustard Drumsticks with Peach Glaze. I should have followed the recipe because we made them a little too spicy by adding ancho chile to the rub and used peach jalapeno preserves for the sauce.
Fire and Smoke is full of exceptional color photos. Whether the pictures were for step by step instructions or for setting the story, Photographer, Ben Fink, delivered in a huge way. No surprise there, though. He is the photographer to the food stars. Name a big food star, and Ben has probably shot for them. Bobby Flay? Yep. Jacques Pepin? You betcha. Ina Garten? Uh-huh. Michael Symon? Sure. He also has worked with just about every major food brand as well.
Fire and Smoke is the ideal book for the backyard griller, whether you are a beginner or an advanced grill master. Chris Lilly does a masterful job including recipes that will fill your grill with big time tastes. Father's Day is just around the corner and I can't think of a better present for Dad than a copy of this book (and Big Bob Gibson's Barbecue Book, if he doesn't have it already).
5 stars – an absolute resource, will refer to frequently
4 stars – good cookbook with value added tips, photos, guides, and other content
3 stars – Good, average cookbook, glad to have it on my shelf
2 stars – a recipe collection
1 star – would give it away to someone else to get rid of it, but only if I didn't like them very much

New audience
Directly to the point: Drugstore chains are a wonderful, focused market opportunity for produce. Seventy percent of U.S. drugstores are operated by three chains: CVS, Walgreens and Rite Aid, in that order.
Rite Aid and Walgreens — with its much-trumpeted downtown Chicago flagship — have already entered the grocery business and they're toying with produce.
Drugstores and produce should have a fantastic marriage. We're always claiming we want to be linked to healthy eating and healthy living, right? The very foundation of the drugstore is health and living longer, so let's pitch 'em on produce.
But we'll have to package produce differently!
It's a drugstore — they don't have refrigerated storerooms, misting systems or produce clerks. Theirs is a different customer in a different setting. He or she is not going to buy three pounds of potatoes on this stop.
But the drugstore shopper might buy a cup of fresh-cut cucumber sticks, a potato-chip-sized bag of blueberries and some lettuce and tomatoes for dinner. After all, their prescription has just reminded them of their fragile health and the need to eat better.
Drugstores need small, bright, modern packages of produce delivered in downsized cases. Especially items that are smaller servings, have long shelf lives, are washed and ready-to-eat in packages that stand up or hang well in the case.
Yes, this will cost more — but a coalition of the willing is going to supply produce to the modern drugstore. To tune into this new sales channel you need to reinvent the package, presentation and other trappings of your already fabulous produce.
Pairing fresh produce with the modern drugstore — which will supplant Mini-Mart and Nick's Fruit Market for fill-in food sales — allows both industries to claim the moral high ground and make money in the process.
Better news: Mom's still around, but she can't make me walk there.

Bill, I see you have used this. What is your (or anyones) opinion of it? The bullnose that goes with the tile I picked out is pretty spendy. Weighing all my options. Please advise.
thanks Diane |

Hi Diane-- It's a good product for times when there's no other alternatives. That's not to say it looks bad, because it really doesn't. It's just not my taste. To me, it looks out of place. Of course, this is YOUR home we're talking about, and not mine. :-) |
thanks Bill for confirming what I was thinking. I guess I'll just have to bite the bullet. |
- Posted by bonnieg011 (My Page) on Wed, Feb 20, 08 at 23:03
Hmmmm. well, my tile has no bullnose that goes with it, so I am using the Schluter. I have 18" tile and accenting with mosaics and I actually like the idea of using a slim, sleek edging that won't distract from the look of the mosaic. So, while I didn't have a better alternative, I think I'm going to be happy with it. But then again, my taste is a bit different! |

As GetGlue Hits 1 Million Users, Is Checking In Becoming Part of TV Ritual?
A lot of the stories on the future of "social" TV focus on the idea of a real-time conversation happening online, with viewers sharing thoughts and jokes while taking in their favorite shows. But New York startup GetGlue, which hit the million user mark today, is seeing something a little different.
"The last thing you want is some variant on an old AOL chatroom, with tens of thousands of people talking about a program at the same time," says GetGlue COO Fraser Kelton. "What we're seeing is a burst of activity at the start of each program. The way we interpret that is, checking in to GetGlue has become part of the ritual of settling in to watch TV." Read More

Outside of the family farm, my sisters and I had the same first job in our teen years —organist for our local Lutheran church.
This job entailed playing the organ every Sunday as well as mid-week services during certain special times in the Christian calendar.
Aside from forming in us an idea of what truly beautiful sacred music and hymnody is, the Lutheran liturgy that we played and participated in formed the very fiber of the women that we became.
One will never think too highly of oneself when one has repeated weekly, "I, a poor, miserable sinner, confess unto Thee all my sins and iniquities with which I have ever offended Thee."
Regular singing and playing of "Beautiful Saviour, King of Creation" undoubtedly prevented each of us from looking to a mere mortal man to be the perfect Prince Charming husband or, heaven forbid, to a future political figure to be a savior.
The weekly congregational reciting of the creed: "We believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth" built in us a firm belief that there is truth and that it can be held in community.
"For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever, Amen," the weekly chanting of the conclusion of the Lord's Prayer, led us to know, in the very core of our being, that there was more to reality than our daily temporal existence.
The "Te Deum Laudamus," which begins, "We praise Thee, O God; we acknowledge Thee to be the Lord. All the earth doth worship Thee, the Father everlasting," helped us to look outside of our own provincial sphere.
As we played and sang, "Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me," we instinctively knew that we would never fall prey to the false theology that we had now arrived and needed no further Help from above.
All of these truths I still know today.

The 2010 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards is this Saturday! That doesn't mean much to me as I will be too busy writing my last will and testament in celebration of my upcoming 75th birthday party (at the hospital). But, since I know most of you are 12-year-old girls, I'm sure you've already programmed your DVRs and armed the Parent Lock function. Lock and load! You have two "street signs" on your bedroom door: one says "NO PARENTS ALLOWED" and the other one says "NO DVR MISTAKES ALLOWED." Not that you even need to DVR it since you will definitely be at home at 8PM on a Saturday night watching Nickelodeon, as usual, and will see them LIVE. No duh. This year's awards look very exciting, and very kids-oriented. Kevin James is the host? What kid doesn't love Kevin James, star of King of Queens? Other presenters include: Tina Fey, Chris Rock, Queen Latifah, Dev Patel, and George Lopez. Just a cavalcade of people that kids care a ton about.
"NnnnnNNNNNNNnnnnn…IT'S EXCITING!" — Kids
Anyway, in my research (for my journalism), I found this picture (in "the Chronicles of Slime") of Diddy getting slimed at the 1998 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards. So good. I honestly hope that this is in the Smithsonian Museum's "Best Pictures" Wing. So. Caption it! Winner will receive special placement in this week's Monsters' Ball, and that's fresh.
Where's Bentley Farnsworth when you need him? Ammirite, guys?
No besmirching! I'm recognizing his umbrella-holding skills. He is close to spectacular.
close to spectacular? you said you were fantastically well!
Hidden due to low comment rating. Click here to see
"Hey, I just got back from that threesome I had with Beyonce and Lady Ga Ga and boy am I tired of all the oral sex I had to give them, just look at all this bad girl spooge that is all over me and stuff, friend."
He says at the Kids' Choice Awards.
You're gross and I'm sending an email to Chris Hansen
Hey that's not fair, you stole my joke I posted to your comment below
If we're trying to steal stuff, we should steal from our betters.
I'm upvoting because i'm determined to let Steve Winwood be great, no matter how hard he makes it.
I'm upvoting it because it's perfect.
Steve Winwood is great and he doesn't make it hard at all!!!
I hate manure
God just couldn't hold it in any longer.
Gwenyth Paltrow? What are you doing here?!
For a brief period in 1998, Puff Daddy wished to be called P-Soup.
One might even say he had a SPLIT-P(ersonality). What? That is not even a pun. Oh well pressing submit anyway
You could have made a Garth Brooks joke, which I think was topical in 1998.
Oh man. If my sense of humor were like half as sophisticated as everyone else's I would have totally thought of that.
This is just how I felt after seeing the film Envy, because GREEN! But mostly because covered in filth.
Bad Soy For Life.
pureed bok choy for life
soylent green is p-diddy
I know, I'll change my name to P. Diddy to completely erase this from my past until it is dug up in 2010 by an internet blogger.
You're out of touch, Gabe. 12-year-olds aren't watching Nickelodeon on Saturday nights. They're out SEXTING at rainbow parties while all hopped up on goofballs. Times have changed, old man.
If you're looking to plagiarize, take from those that are best.
Moose – "Diddy, what discernible talent do you have?" Diddy – "I don't know." ~slime~ Kids in audience – "Yay!"
I forgot about Moose. And Barf the burger cook.
As a result of this thread, I've been watching this on youtube all night. MLIYCDTOT.
Is this what Ke$ha feels like when she wakes up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy?
"Damn! I wish there was some way I could incoherently explain what just happened to me in 140 characters or less to 2,521,220 random people!"
Then, like always, he screamed "NO BITCHASSNESS!" as he left the building.
SHOOOT that should not have been a reply to you. PLEASE IGNORE AND DO NOT UPVOTE MY PREVIOUS COMMENT
Slimer and the Real GhostPuffsters
Diddy CAN do that on television
Diddy DID do.
Anna Wintour gives the spring Sean John line a "thumbs down."
Because she threw up on him! Get it?
I don't know
You beat me to it (learn to refresh the_wurst, gah), and for this, and your YCDTOT brilliance, I will upvote you forever.
I think our YCDTOT references are lost on baby monsters. Damn shame too.
I meant to write "I don't flow," anyways.
Ready! Aim! …
Wait, wait! Stop the execution!
Someone get me a barfburger.
I think you're right, and it pains me. The children of today need to recognize its brilliance.
For the kids, that's IDK.
This is what Diddy looked like before using Proactiv.
Good thing he started moisturizing his situation and preserving his sexy.
Did Diddy say "I don't know"?
In preparation for his role in the upcoming remake of The Exorcist. Diddy spent his Saturday night in the club getting vomited on by demon bitches.
it's funny cause the slim is a metaphor for everything bad boy has put out since biggy died.
slime* sheesh.
Freudian slip. Will the real SLIME Shady please stand up?
Yeah, it looks bad. But you should have seen what he did to Mark Sommers.
Diddy Got Slimed: Big Fuckin' Deal….
this is not so raven
Pea Diddy
"Life without slime is Unforgivable."
In what every pre-teen at the Kids Choice Awards agreed was ultimately a pretty unnecessary display of political symbolism, P-Diddy shocked everyone as he announced he was officially joining the Green Party. (NAILED IT)
The syntax of that sentence is so dubious to me, I am going to dedicate the rest of my night to figuring out why.
vote or die bitches!
"And the award for creating girl-supergroup Danity Kane goes to… Sean P. Combs!"
The only correct answer is:
"Take that, take that"
"Ashton Kutcher told me this stuff was made of applesauce. He is such a liar." – P. Diddy
I don't have time to do spoofs.
For a moment, Diddy heard a voice in the back of his mind say "Where are you, what did you do to get to this place?" But then it was quickly replaced with a great idea for a new type of overpriced sneaker.
Shit son, you foxin with my white sox gear. BIGGIE, come handle this!!! Oh wait…
Too soon.joke.blogspot.com
Diddy's new cocktail THE SLIMER! 3 parts Ciroc, 1 part Midori, 1 part total lack of humility! LET'S GO. Diddy in Get Him to the Greek, in theaters June 4!!! Check it out, LET'S GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This moment captured on film is the moment P. Diddy decided to host his annual White Party, so that he could ridicule everyone else for getting stuff on their all white clothes (green slime or not), while he remains spotless. Suck it, Nickelodeon!
Slimer is a racist.
Crap. I guess that Sean Jean outfit COULD get uglier.
Let's go paintballin'!
Somewhere in the afterlife, Biggie and Slimer are sharing a chuckle.
Can't nobody take my slime Can't nobody hose me down Oh no I've got to keep on moving
I should seriously stop reading these at work while drinking water, I keep spitting it all over my keyboard out of laughter! How am I not fired yet?
You guys, my dog has been having "loose bowel movements" that TOTALLY look like that. #shitsmydogtakes
I was surprised to see that shitsmydogtakes is an available username on Twitter.
Diddy learns that you shouldn't get too close when Topher's been sucking buttz all night.
Ha, I don't think I even understand this one!
Not your best work, tophersuxbuttz.
I'm gonna upvote him for phrasing his "signature" in the form of a caption. It almosts makes sense.
I think the joke is he got sprayed by some Topher butt ejaculate
Not to dumb down what you're saying, but do you mean poo? Remember, not everything is ejaculate…
Oh man, I keep imagining a stern teacher patiently telling me, "remember, not everything is ejaculate…" and I can't even deal with it.
Topher suxxed so many buttz that he threw up his poovomit all over Diddy. DUHHHH
Again "vomit" is defined by the idea of ejecting matter from the mouth, therefore, the mere fact it came from his buttocks reveals that it is in fact not vomit.
I feel like I'm teaching some strange class. "Hello students, this is VOMIT101, my name is Professor Pukeson…" you get the idea.
The poopvomit was ejected from Topher's mouth after he suxxed it from so many buttz. Try to keep up, Aaaaron.
DUHHHH. Thanks for speaking da truth, Godsauce. Topher sux buttz til he vomitz.
Thanks for clearing that up Godsauce; although one can only imagine if I would have been happier not knowing about the existence of poovomit… Either way, I will definitely need to get a team together. Much research needs to be done for my next major thesis paper! Just wait, soon everyone will know the name Professor. Purgespew R. Pukeson!
is poop vomit the same as felching?
jokes on your children on 1998. You ruin one of my outfits but in less than 10 years I will charge you hundreds of dollars to wear an outfit with my name on it…
jokes on you, children of 1998. You ruin one of my outfits but in less than 10 years I will charge you hundreds of dollars to wear an outfit with my name on it…
I didn't order a Precioustini!
wow sorry really thought you could delete a post…i will proof read in the future…
Ke$ha's lyrics make a lot more sense now:
"Wake up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy, because I'm always covered in barf too."
Sorry, Kateness. Didn't see your joke that I ripped off from you. Someone call the whoops police.
No worries, Funkles! There are plenty of Ke$ha jokes to go around.
Is this how I smile? Moving my lips apart to show my total disdain for children?
"Going the extra mile will definitely help you beat out Will Smith for the Swamp Thing reboot." — Diddy's former agent.
Sometimes even Diddy cannot start a new fashion trend
I think this picture is an outtake from the outhouse scene in Slumdog Millionaire.
So many poop jokes!
or not enough?
is it too late for st. patty's day green poop jokes?
Green Shitty?
Does this mean Nickelodeon is a blood or a crip?
Latin Kings probably.
skeet skeet skeet.
Elaborate product placement for Oxyclean.
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore– And then run? Does it stink like rotten meat? Or crust and sugar over– like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?
–Langston Hughes's official entry in the Videogum Caption Contest
game over.
too good.
except, when you think about it, I can't imagine too many dreams Diddy's had to defer.
"So Sarah Jessica Parker does have a bigger nose than Biggie…"
Looks like this time the band "made" on P. Diddy! Amirite?! Anybody…?
So many poop jokes.
P. Diddy, interrupted mid-sentence while saying the line "as you wish," stood in shocked silence in front an equally thunder-struck audience, as no one could have predicted tonight was the night and the Nick's Kids' Choice Awards was the place where Rob Reiner finally exploded.
Some kid left the Silly String out in the sun too long.
Justin Bieber has not grown out of projectile vomiting yet? the worst.
A blooper from the filming of the "Come With Me" video from the soundtrack of the 1998 film Godzilla. Little did Diddy know that Godzilla had eaten burritos for lunch that day. Thankfully, Jimmy Page was left unharmed.
Here is partial footage before the incident:
okay don't hate me but I loved that song when I was in 6th grade. Therefore I still love it now, sentimental value and all. I could probably rap along to every word in this song.
"I said Cambodian breast milk."
this doesn't even make sense.
Why should it!?
OR does it make too much sense?
I don't know what this means either, but me and Diddy may have been only rooms apart.
"You people wouldn't be applauding if you knew this slime was made from the pulp of $100 bills embezzled from the college funds of thousands of impoverished children across the world, which it is. It really is all about the Benjamins. What! R.I.P. B.I.G. Foreva! Now get this Godzilla goo off me."
This is still less stupid than hiring Pauly D to spin at my son's 16th birthday party.
"What's up playa's? I just blew Shrek backstage and my jaw is killing me"
I'm sorry to the three people who downvoted this, but come on. this is wicked funny. imagine blowing shrek? YIKES! and imagine shrek's ejaculate being the same color as shrek's skin? DOUBLE YIKES! this is way funnier than a pea soup joke.
Am I cool yet?
"oh no! this hat is made of kashmir! just like my crazy-ass godzilla song! ah-ha!
"My Life is Twilight."
Demonstrating, once and for all, the value of wearing sunglasses in-doors.
His small, bitter smile broadcast the realization that, "Yeah, this is about right," over the snotty, shrieking audience and through the silently judgmental television cameras, riding the earth's magnetosphere into the emptiness.
"I thought I told you that we won't st- ah dag man, I thought we were doing the gooping AFTER I performed. Ma$e, give these kids a taste of Harlem World real quicklike, Diddy's gotta get the goop out of his hair before his product molts."
three cheers for trying too hard!
This is what Ke$ha is talking about when she says "I wake up in the morning feeling like P Diddy"
May I ask why so hated? I was just mentioning how Ke$ha wakes up in the morning covered in sticky goo and the picture above we were asked to caption features P Diddy covered in sticky goo, albeit the sticky goo Ke$ha is greeted with in the morning is a different color from the one P Diddy is covered with in the provided photo.
Wow, you guys are amazing. I would like to participate in one of these Caption contests, but I usually read the post 5 minutes after it's been published only to find 115 comments. You guys use up all the funny. Congrats! (?)
Ah, I'll give it a shot anyway: Mo Slime, Mo Problems ??
Ever the sampler, Diddy takes one out of Linda Blair's playbook.
Please pronounce it however you see fit; it's layered that way.
Vote or get slimed!
Because you know I love it young, fresh and green.
You crazy for this one Mark Summers!!

Who buys Microsoft anymore, PIP-Boy PIP-Boy PIP-Boy. Oh yeah, GAMERS!
Bought this at Costco for $800+ but it failed within first week. Went completely dead, wouldn't turn on at all. Was great when I had it, the bottom has a "rubbery" feel to it so it doesn't slip from the lap. The aluminum top is extremely sensitive to fingerprints. Computer is pretty slim but the power supply is huge.
I have one. It's awesome. This is a steal.
It's amazing to me how much prices have dropped on laptops over time.
Got this laptop, but with an i3 processor, for my young son. Beautiful display, very slim, keyboard feels good. Not so good is the lack of a cd/dvd drive, only 4gb RAM, although easy to upgrade as there are 2 memory slots, and a HUGE amount of bloatware comes installed (which seriously slows this system down til you get rid of it ALL). At this price, I would pass if I were in the market.

It was in a bag, dried. I soaked it in water and it seemed to come alive. Now what to do with it. I am not sure what it is, but it did say sphagnum sheet moss on the bag. When I googled sphagnum sheet moss I couldn't find a thing. I have this indoors. Anyone who can clearly identify this moss, and some good uses for it please let me know. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Looks like sphagnum moss for sure but there are many kinds . Sphag is used extensively for a potting material mostly for orchids , some types of carniverous plants usually dead, but can be used alive . gary |

I made the buttermilk slurry out of this and spread it over a very large rock..It's inside, wonder if this will grow onto it? |
- Posted by danesnpits 2b (My Page) on Wed, Dec 4, 13 at 10:26
Hi Gary, well I went and did a slurry with this stuff, with buttermilk then smeared it all over a huge rock in my living room. Will it grow? |
hi My guess would be no as MOSt sphagnum mosses are aquatic, growing in areas of very low pH often called "peat bogs" Since there are a gazillion types of mosses and dozens of kinds of Sphagnum mosses it's difficult to guess lol. Most of the commercial sources are harvested from standard "peat bogs" if you know the source of your moss would help to identify it . Famous sources are New Zealand,Peru and most famous Ireland Obviously very different types ??lol You might google "Sphagnum" or peat bogs Good luck with your experiment!! gary |
I don't see anything that looks like Sphagnum in that pic. Appears to be one or more pleurocarpous mosses. |

The package it came in said it was grown in Saskatchewan, Canada, where I live actually. |
Hi There you go . i use a lot of Canadian peat to beef out my florida sand but have never tried to grow it just tropical sphags but then only as potting material You might google the Id of Lycopus for some clueslol gary |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Silver!
Facts about Silver
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Gray, Blue Or Silver Tabby
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Silver's Info...
I am already neutered, in need of an experienced adopter, up to date with shots, not good with kids, and good with cats.
Silver is a beautiful, young adult, male grey tabby who shares our Community Room with several other cats. He is very shy at first, but after he gets to know you, he is affectionate and will come to you for attention. He loves treats! Silver will do well in a calm home with patient, experienced cat owners who can provide him regular attention and interaction; in return, he will be a constant, loving companion.
Other Pets at Branford Compassion Club
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Silver, a North Branford Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in North Branford, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in North Branford.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in North Branford already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a North Branford breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in North Branford paves the way for another one to be saved.

RE: only two decisions left - how to decide? b/s and pendants (Follow-Up #9)
posted by: mustbnuts on 09.10.2008 at 08:35 am in Kitchens Forum I too would wait until your cabs and stone are in and then choose based on the light, etc. in your kitchen. I know you want everything done, but I would probably wait. If they are worried about "dinging" up your appliances, you can always keep that blue protector thing on them so the finish doesn't get marred.
Now, that said, Lissa, your kitchen is gorgeous! I think I will move right in! Looks like a great place to cook. Kat--I think a soft green might be nice. Would depend on the color of the green. Here are some samples of things that might look good, depending on your taste and DH's taste. Not sure what style you are going for in your kitchen, more classic or more modern. So here are some green and other color/style alternatives. NOTES: <none>

Danby Calacatta Marble
posted by: blondelle on 07.20.2008 at 09:08 am in Kitchens Forum I'm surprised there isn't more talk on the board about this marble. There was so much on Misty Cararra, and the Okite Cararra, and other white marble substitutes. This is supposed to be stronger than the usual white marbles, denser, more etch resistant, and less porous so it won't stain as easily.
The veining patterns aren't quite as pretty as the other real marbles, but it still is very pretty and nicer than the engineered stones. It comes with brownish, greenish, and blue gray veining and slabs with little veining. Would love to get more feedback on this. I know one gal used it, but anyone else use it? It's a great option for kitchen counters I think. NOTES: <none>

timss-- Just because the stone shows a wet spot doesn't mean the sealer's not working! Most good sealers made today are what's called "breatheable", meaning moisture can't be trapped in the stone, causing all kinds of problems. It CAN transmit back and forth thru the sealer. But ONLY the moisture will transmit-- not any solids in it, which is what causes stains. dabunch-- look for one of three-- Aquamix Sealers Choice Gold, Miracle's 511 Impregnator, or Stone Tech's Impregnator Pro.

Funcom believes WiiU could break the barrier for MMORPGs on consoles
By Mufaddal Fakhruddin on April 4, 2012
Touch screen is where the game is.
Funcom lead designer Joel Bylos believes WiiU's unique tablet controller could finally break the barrier of bringing MMORPGs to consoles.
Speaking to Official Nintendo Magazine, Bylos pondered on ideas on how the touch screen could be put to use, giving an example of the hotbars that could be implemented for easy access.
"Wii U could be the first real console on which running an MMORPG without compromise is plausible," said Bylos. "The controller is perfect for lining up those rows of hotbars that are essential in most MMOs. A customisable touchscreen interface combined with the 3D spatial movement of a console controller could be a winner."
Funcom is currently working on an MMORPG called Secret World.

Gibraltar Turns on DAB Multiplexes
Gibraltar - Dec 18, 2012 - Gibraltar Chief Minister, the Hon. Fabian Picardo MP, officially launched Gibraltar's digital broadcasting network at midday on Dec. 18, 2012. He also unveiled a plaque at the Upper Signal Station on the top of the Rock where the transmitters and mast are located.
The new network comprises two DAB radio multiplexes, each capable of carrying four radio programs, along with two digital television multiplexes.
Earlier this year, the Gibraltar Regulatory Authority awarded the tender to Arqiva to build the digital infrastructure in Gibraltar. Arqiva is a communications infrastructure and media services company that much of the infrastructure behind television, radio, satellite and wireless communications in the UK and has a significant presence in Ireland and mainland Europe.
Throughout most of this year Arqiva has been busy working non-stop in order to meet the end of year deadline for the discontinuation of analog television in Gibraltar. System testing began at the end of November.

Chicago White Sox first baseman Paul Konerko went to Chaparral High and lives in Scottsdale.
When he wasn't an original All-Star selection, Konerko was trying to decide whether to take his time off in Arizona or at his beach house in Del Mar, Calif.
The fans made the decision easy for him.
Konerko was the winner of the MLB Final Vote, beating out Baltimore's Adam Jones, Detroit's Victor Martinez, Kanas City's Alex Gordon and Tampa Bay's Ben Zobrist for the final spot on the American League roster.
He is batting .319 this season with 22 home runs, 67 RBIs and an OPS of .954.
While 16 players withdrew from the game for various rules, Konerko was thrilled with the selection.
"The next time an All-Star game comes through Arizona, I'll be long (retired) by then," Konerko said during Monday's media session before the Home Run Derby. "It's kind of cool to say in my career that the one time they had it here, it worked out. This is where I live, and this is where I'll always live. It (will be) nice to say I played in that game (in Arizona) 20 years ago."
Homecoming II
Andre Ethier was also a late addition to the game.
He was on the National League's Final Vote list but was beaten out by Philadelphia's Shane Victorino. However, Victorino has since been placed on the disabled list, and Ethier was chosen as his replacement.
Ethier said he often dreamed of making the big leagues and an All-Star game as a youngster growing up in Phoenix, but he had to work through some disadvantages.
Ethier said he played baseball on concrete basketball courts growing up, and then on a baseball diamond at St. Mary's that didn't have infield grass.
He said he relishes playing in the major leagues at a place like Dodger Stadium, which has a picture perfect field.
"It's a long way from Perry Park (in Phoenix) and practicing on all-dirt softball infields," Ethier said.
The former Arizona State star is hitting .311 this season with nine homers and 44 RBIs. He had a 30-game hitting streak early in the year.
Good News
Miguel Montero had one thought when he was called into the manager's office on Sunday: "What'd I do this time?"
But this was good news for the Diamondbacks catcher.
Montero was chosen for the final National League All-Star game spot after a first half that saw him hit .272 with 10 homers, 45 RBIs and a .796 OPS.
N.L. All-Star manager Bruce Bochy said he liked having a third catcher and another left-handed bat when explaining his decision.
It is Montero's first All-Star game selection.

Hobart farmer must fence in cows or face fines, jail time
By Karen Caffarini Post-Tribune correspondent January 17, 2013 10:30AM
Robert Berndt checks to make sure the gate is closed after feeding his cows on in Hobart Thursday Jan. 17, 2013 Berndt, 80, plans to erect a fence to keep the cows contained while the graze. | Andy Lavalley~Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: February 19, 2013 3:02PM
HOBART — Frustrated that farmer Robert Berndt still hasn't taken action to fence in his dairy cows months after being ordered to, the Board of Public Works and Safety is looking to take the matter to the courts.
"I won't be content with Mr. Berndt saying he will do it," said Mayor Brian Snedecor, who made the motion this week to seek a court injunction against Berndt regarding the containment of livestock on his Grand Boulevard farm.
City attorney Anthony DeBonis told the 80-year-old Berndt he will have to pay the city's attorney's fees to obtain the injunction, and that the city would ask the court to send Berndt to jail if he doesn't follow court orders.
DeBonis said he hopes something can be worked out with Berndt and his family before it goes to court, but added he will begin drafting the paperwork.
Berndt said the court injunction won't be necessary, that he was on his way to get the materials so his family members can erect a fence right away.
He said received permission from Building Official Mike Hannigan to erect the fence on his property.
"They scared me. (Code enforcement officer Ken) Gagliardi won," Berndt said.
Berndt said Gagliardi also ticketed him and his daughter when they were removing food from a Dumpster to feed to the cows.
"Now the city has an ordinance against that," Berndt said.
City officials have said they not only received complaints from neighbors of Berndt, who said they don't want the livestock on their property, but contend the free-roaming animals pose a safety hazard along the heavily traveled Grand Boulevard, also known as Indiana 51.
Berndt's house and farm are in the 6800 block of Grand Boulevard.
Berndt told the board that clean-up of his house has been progressing. He said it is now sealed so no wildlife can get in and the basement is dry.
In an email to the mayor, Berndt's son said weather problems and required licensing have prevented the fencing from being installed as required.
Berndt also continued to express hope he could work out something with the neighbors, whom he said he had been paying for years to let his cows graze on their property.
But Gagliardi said the neighbors have returned all of Berndt's checks from 2012 and have asked the city to enforce trespassing laws to keep the cows off their property.
Berndt said he had been paying the neighbors $100 a month to let his cows graze on their property. He said his family has raised cows on their acreage for about 100 years. Berndt said the herd is down to only eight cows.

I was just glancing through these posts. I think I'm going to have to find After Lucy--it sounds good to me. And I was going to list a few of my favorite books, but someone got to most of them ahead of me.
I loved Michael Chabon's Kavalier and Klay, TC Boyle's Drop City (I'm working on the women right now), Russell Banks' --Rule of the Bone.
Roddy Doyle is another favorite--I love the A Star Called Henry series, have to see if the last of them is out.
I read all those books about being in the British Royal navy by Patrick O'Brian. If you like being addicted to stuff, it's weird stuff to be addicted to. I pretty much lost a year of my life to that slog.
Anyway--I'm just saying.
for anyone whose ever been 'inside' anywhere, especially moving:
"San Quintin, do you think I'll be different when you're through?"
man oh man... Cash was one of the best.
Just finished reading CASH, really dug it! Very insightful! Had to look up a bunch of old Country folks he played with. I had never even HEARD about the Dyess Project until I read this book. HA HA, now I feel like I'm on Reading Rainbow!!
Lovin Levar Burton :)
Has anyone else given any thought to how perfect Morning Dew would be as a theme song for the movie of The Road? I personally have given this way too much thought - wondered if anyone else had the same association?
I got carried away and forgot the other of my guys -- Joseph Heller. "Catch-22" was a major revelation for me. And apparently I have a thing for novels with numbers in the title.
I was 17 yrs old rummaging through 10-cent paperbacks in a booth at the County Fair in my small rural Maine town. I found "Rabbit, Run". Bought it, brought it home and read it. And read it again. And read it again. Yeah, I was hooked. Updike taught me the beauty and the art of prose like no one I'd ever read, and especially like nothing I'd ever read in school. He published something like 50 books...I know that I have more than 30 of them sitting on my shelf.
His passing means that the last of my favorite writers from my youth and young adulthood are gone: Vonnegut, Brautigan, Kesey, Asimov, Clarke, Herbert, Heinlein (I still bounce between sci-fi and more literary fiction). The books from these guys: "Rabbit", "Slaughterhouse-Five", "Trout Fishing in America", "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", The Foundation Trilogy, "Fahrenheit 451", "Dune", "Stranger in a Strange Land"....and others, of course, buried themselves in my head. Tinkered around for years in there, finally rewiring my brain to its current configuration, shaping my ideas and desires and opinions to a greater extent than anything besides my family, and music.
There have been many favorites since, but the passing of the last of these Greats marks the end of something for me. Always loved, never, ever forgotten
...maybe somebody will have a PS3 laying around!
I have a sigfile! --> www.kindveggieburritos.com
definitely one of the formative bits of literature in my life. The main thing I remember about it now, of course, is the awful moment when they get to the great archive and have no appropriate player to retrieve the information. Definitely a metaphor for our times...to say nothing of a cautionary tale.
Foundation Trilogy = Isaac Asimov, not Clarke. There are several novels continuing the Foundation mythos after the original trilogy, that eventually incorporated Asimov's "Robot" novels, and several other authors have added stories/novels to the Foundation universe, but Arthur wasn't one of them. Just thought I'd throw that in there.
I have a sigfile! --> www.kindveggieburritos.com
I appreciated the bio from Hal R...last summer I read Clarke's "Foundation" trilogy for the first time: serious Sci-Fi! I saw "2001: A Space Odyssey" on a wide screen in Washington DC (1968) thanks to my father who was a fan of Stanley Kubrick. We are still a long way from realizing the potential of space travel, even inside our solar system!

After playing a number of battles, I am resenting my purchase of an SSU Rifle squad. Its claim to fame is the two ATRs in it; the sad fact that they aren't Sniper or Spotter means that they miss a lot. A lot. Thus wasting a 20-point squad that could otherwise be a battle squad (much love for them! Workhorses of People's Army). And no, the fact that they might do better if using sustained fire does not help; our battlefields rarely have that long-range terrain open, and my rifle squad keeps getting hit juuuuuuust enough to suppress them, thus preventing sustained fire actions.
I believe I am going to have to retire that rifle squad and get another battle squad (or two).
Again, I do wish I could get the aero walker and the Chinese 'Volunteers' without having to buy the chopper to get 'em. Yeah, I know, the package deal on the 'Volunteers' means the chopper comes out to $20 MSRP, and the package on the aero walker makes its chopper $10 MSRP. But if I have no use for them, then that's an extra $20 and $10 respectively that I've spent to no avail.

Robert Gordon, he of the big hair and big voice, comes to Philadelphia on Thursday June 26 to play a rare and intimate show at The Tin Angel. His new CD I'M COMING HOME will be released on the locally based (Lancaster, Pa.) Lanark Records just days prior to his area appearance.
RG (as his friends call him) has had a knack for joining up with great guitarists throughout his career. From his days with Link Wray and later Danny Gatton, to his recent work with Marshall Crenshaw and current guitarist and record co-producer Quentin Jones, Robert has "always had music on his mind and in his sights." That is evidenced in this new record, his first since 2007. I'M COMING HOME features twelve all new recordings including three originals.
Rounding out the performing band will be Kenny Aaronson on bass (Bob Dylan/John Eddie), David Uosikkinen on drums (The Hooters/In the Pocket) and Quentin Jones on guitar (Charlie Gracie). Expect an evening filled with fan favorites such as "Red Hot" and "Rockabilly Boogie" and plenty of sampling from the new record.
Tickets are $12 and available at The Tin Angel with showtime set for 8PM. Slip into your black slacks and red bowtie and get ready for the room to rock! See you there!

Located in the extreme North East of Uganda covering an area of 1442Km², the Kidepo park internationally boarders Sudan in the North West and Kenya in the North East with a strip of land of 5 Kilometers only. Pronouncing the word 'Kidep' was hard for the colonialists and so they added the 'o' to sound 'Kidepo'. In 1958 it was gazetted as a game reserve. Later in 1962, when Uganda got its independence from the colonial rulers, the Queen of England gave it to Uganda government as a gift and it was gazetted as National Park due to its diverse wildlife and avifauna ...
