We're waiting…

Lies, lies, lies…

Was it just me, or did Carney seem a bit more testy today than usual?He kept getting hammered on Benghazi, and the Pres. leaving town vs. staying and working out things with the GOP, and it seemed that Jay was just starting to lose it towards the end.
Do you know if he is going to keep selling his soul during the next Obama term, or will he bail after Jan 21, and try and find something on K Street?
- November 27, 2012 at 3:06 pm
Is "Propaganda Sec" Carney leaving? Good question…
- November 27, 2012 at 3:03 pm
who gave the stand down order?
- November 27, 2012 at 3:08 pm
Why was AFRICA-COM General fired?
- November 27, 2012 at 3:59 pm
Not to be a conspiracy freak, but I did read that there was a movement by some top military brass to boot Obama in the event that he won reelection. Some chatter was that the D/CI, AFRICA-COM and CGS3 commander were all involved. Don't know the veracity of the info, but there was also talk that the explosion that hit the south side of Indianapolis, and blew up half a neighborhood was actually a Hellfire that was targeted at DFAS in Lawrence, IN. Supposedly the Hellfire was from a CIA drone, and got intercepted by Wright-Pat. DFAS is the pay master for the USArmy, and also where PPBES is at.
One of the 1st responders on the scene (lives a block away from G-0) said he heard what sounded like an engine roar, then the explosion. NTSB was in Indy for several days and INDHS was responsible for securing the scene until a few days ago, then local LEOs took over. The city ordered the demo of something like 30 house due to "unsafe conditions" and the demo is to be done by mid-December. The insurance people haven't even had a chance to go through things, and the residents that were affected had one hour to retrieve belongs before the area was shut down again.
Things that make you go Hmmm!

Interesting input Shofar…
I was just curious about AFRICA-COM because I read a story that Gen. Ham had units ready to go for Benghazi (Spec Ops in N.Africa that could have been there in 4+hrs & air support) But the WH told Gen. Ham to stand down, Ham hesitated, and his #2 was ordered by the WH (the NSC staff that "never meet"-no pics from the Situation Room) to relieve Gen. Ham the spot

Congratulations to Clayton Kershaw: 2013 Cy Young Award Winner
Remember back in March of this year when Clayton Kershaw was on the cover of Sports illustrated this year?
some fans thought it would be bad luck. I remember back in March hunting down for the magazine. Some had a different cover but I found copies in Northridge for myself, Lorena and Rosie. Well it was not bad luck for Kershaw to be on the cover. With a record of 16-9, and an ERA of 1.83, he won the National League Cy Young Award. Congratulations Mr. Sunshine.
When Kershaw won the award in 2011, he had a record of 21-5 with an ERA of 2.28. After the announcement in 2011, the Dodgers invited Season Ticket holders to join in the celebration on the field. I had taken the train to work but when I got the email, I borrowed the work company car and I went to the event. What a fun day at the stadium that was! Don Newcombe & Fernando Valenzuela were also there.
Only Sandy Koufax and Kershaw have won more than one Cy Young award with the Dodgers. Sandy did it in 1963, 1965 & 1966.
The first recipient of the Cy Young award was Don Newcombe in 1956. For the first eleven years (1956 – 1966) only one winner from Major League Baseball was selected.
Don Newcombe went 27-7 with a 3.06 ERA in 1956 to capture the Cy Young

I have been very busy that I have not updated my blog lately. I hope to get back on track. I may not be posting as often but I am always thinking Blue and following any baseball news. I am currently reading the book "It Pays to Steal" by Mauy Wills.
I drove to work Monday because the traffic was going to be lighter on Veterans Day and because I had made an appointment to cut my hair and color it. Since I was going to be there a little longer than just getting a haircut, I took the book with me. Well, I forgot the book there. I had rented the book from the Los Angeles Central library. I had to drive the following day (I usually take the train to work) to go pick up the book.
On my way home I was thinking… They don't know I am a big Dodger fan and a baseball fan. I don't think they follow the game. What did they think when they read the book title "It Pays to Steal." I know I had the bookmark on chapter 9 "Formula for success"…. Maybe when I go back I will ask Carmen what they thought when they read the title.

It was a great event. Jay Johnstone made us laugh. He had his book signed available for $20 including a picture of him signed and authenticated. Funds went to a charity . I already had his book but I bought another copy.
Andy McCue had a great presentation that day on the history of the Angels and Dodgers when the Angels were the Dodgers tenants at Dodger Stadium.
Rick followed with a presentation of his top baseball movies and also Barry's top 10. Also a comparison of actors and the baseball players they were portraying on how close they resembled the players. After both presentation we only had an additional 30 minutes to view the museum. I had a great time that day. I only wished I had more time to spend at the museum. If you have chance, check it out but it is a private museum.

SABR Allan Roth Chapter meeting at the Sport Museum
What a great opportunity to visit the Sport Museum in Los Angeles when the SABR Allan Roth Chapter scheduled the October 26 meeting there! I invited Lorena and Rosie to come along. The first words I heard Lorena say was "WOW!" Yeah, my sentiments too. What a great museum! I had seen part of Gary Cypres collection at Dodger Stadium and also at the Folks museum when both the SABR local chapter and the Baseball Reliquary had meeting events there last year, but to see the 30,000 square foot warehouse that is home to the is amazing.
Gary Cypres. I did not see him at the museum but I had met him at the Dodger FanFest back in January when Mark Langill, Dodger Historian introduced me to him.

Dodger Stadium: The Happiest Place on Earth, The Magic Castle
Vin Scully has called Dodger Stadium, the Magic Castle. That is what it was on Wednesday, The Magic Castle, The happiest place on Earth.
Greinke loaded the bases in the first inning with no outs but for some reason, I was not nervous. Greinke got out of it with no runs scored by the Cardinals. Greinke ended up giving up two runs in the third but that was all in his seven innings of game 5 of the NLCS. The bearded one, Brian Wilson was lights out in his 8th. Kenley Jansen in the 9th gave ME palpitations. The Cardinals scored two more runs but Kenley got out of it. Dodgers had four homeruns in the game: Adrian Gonzales off Kelly, Crawford off Kelly, A.J. Ellis off Mojica and Adrian with his second one off Oxford. Final score: Dodgers 6, Cardinals 4.
After game 3 on Monday, Waingwright said that Adrian's celebratory gestures were Mickey Mouse. I wore my Dodgers Mickey Mouse ears for game 4 and 5. I lost track of how many fans asked me "Where did you get the Mickey Mouse ears?" They wore selling them back in 2010 at Disneyland when the MLB All-Star game was in Anaheim. My friend Greg and Linda who have yearly passes wore able to get them for me back then.
After Adrian's first homer-run he did this:
Adrian was asked about it afterwards and he said he was just having fun. when he hit his 2nd home-run, he was all business. Adrian likes Mikey Mouse! Anyone remember when he came from Boston to the Dodgers? He was wearing a Mickey Mouse shirt.
Adrian Gonzalez with his Mickey Mouse t-shirt when he came to the Dodgers from Boston. In the picture, HOF Jaime Jarrin and Pepe Yniguez, Spanish broadcasters for the Dodgers.
We were all having fun with Waingwright's comment and that is the reason I wore my Mickey Mouse ears.
My friend Greg also wore his for Tuesday's game
Ok, enough Mickey Mouse stuff. haha. OK, one more picture that Hector Becerra of the LA Times took when he snuck in behind me.
Several people at work approached the following day "Were you wearing Mickey Mouse ears at the game?" "I saw you on TV"
Yep that is me! It is a good thing I asked for a day vacation instead of "calling in sick" As it was I was in a little trouble at work for forgetting about a meeting on Wednesday but hey! my vacation day got approved.
OK so the Dodgers are back in St Louis for game 6. Clayton Kershaw against Michael Macha. Game time at 5:30 Let's go Dodgers!
Let's give Kershaw some run support
Dodgers Win NLCS game 3! I Love LA
What a great game by the Dodgers at the Ravine! What a brilliant performance by rookie Hyun-Jin Ryu! Ryu shutout the Cardinals 3-0. He scattered three hits in the seven innings he pitched.
The game started with the unveiling of the flag on the field
the 30 home run team of Steve Garvey, Reggie Smith, Dusty Baker and Ron Cey threw out the first pitch
30 Club
Dodgers Win!
Super fan Rachel and my brother Victor after the victory
Don Mattingly was all smiles
Hanley was all smiles too! I love Hanley Ramirez! I love the Dodgers and I love LA!
NLCS game 3 at Dodger Stadium. St. Rita, Saint of Baseball
I am at work today but only for half a day. I am taking half day vacation today and heading to OLOCR, Our Lady of Chavez Ravine for game 3 of the NLCS.
Things look dire for the Dodgers trailing the series 2 games to none to the Cardinals.
According to @GrandesenlosDeportes from the Dominican Republic Hanley Ramirez has two broken Ribs. As of the time I am writing this, Dodgers have not confirmed this. I am praying the results are still negative.
Talking about praying, yesterday I googled St Rita church. As some will remember a while back I did a post on St. Rita being the patriot Saint of Baseball http://crzblue.mlblogs.com/2011/06/03/patron-saint-of-baseball/
I was looking to see if I had a St Rita church close to me. I found her! St Rita of Cascia church is located at 318 N. Baldiwn Avenue in the city of Sierra Madre in California.
Saint Rita's Catholic church sign
St Rita is the saint of the Impossible
Needless to say I went there to pray for a friend, for my family, the Dodgers and me.
May the Dodgers bat come alive
May the Dodgers health improve
May the Dodgers defense be brilliant
May the Dodgers pitching continue to be superb
May the Dodgers beat the Cardinals!
Go Dodgers! Heading to our Magic Castle, Dodger Stadium also known as OLOCR.
NLDS game 4 Haikus. On to NLCS! Let's Go Dodger Blue!
I had left these haikus in a draft and since we just loved game four, here they are:

Garcia was good too
gives two homeruns to CC
the score tied two-two
Braves runs are unearned

Dodger fans restless

Belly comes in gives up run

That dreaded seventh
Howell replaces Belly
gets the last two outs
Puig with a double
in the eight, the kid can fly!
Vin says "Wild Horse Loose"
Uribe cant bunt
So he goes Boom! Fans go nuts!
Dodgers now in front.
final game four score
Dodgers four, Braves three WOO-HOO!

The Beard gets the win
Kenley Jansen with the save
Love LA & VIN

I am dressed and ready to head to OLOCR (Our Lady of Chavez Ravine) I got my Mission October shirt, my Sandy Koufax jersey and I will take my Dodger poncho to wear later. I can't wait to be there!
Julio Teheran goes for the Braves,
Dodgers sent rookie Hyun-jin Ryu. Game
Fernando Valenzuela will be thrown out the first pitch and Sandy Koufax is scheduled to be there tonight and tomorrow night.

2013 NLDS: Dodgers vs Braves. Let's Go Dodgers!
I am super excited for this series! The day is finally here! Thursday at 5:30 PM PT at Turner Field. Kershaw 16-9 1.83 ERA will face Medien 15-12 3.11 ERA.
I leave work via Metrolink train so when I leave I will have my headphones listening to the game. I should have a "Do Not Disturb" sign. As I am typing this, this co-worker that is a Giant fan is talking to another co-worker telling him "I'll be rooting for the Braves" then he looks at me doing the tomahawk chant. UGRR I hate that.
This morning on the train I open the LA Times and went thru the whole sport section seeing no mention of the Dodgers. Then I kept looking thru the paper until I found this special Dodger Section!
LA Times special Dodger playoff section!
Last night I stopped at the Olvera Street church. La Placita to light a candle for the Dodgers
Afterwards, Lorena noticed that the candle that I lid (right), is the one for Saint Judas Tadeo, el santo de las causas desesperadas The saint of difficult causes.
While taking the train home I picked up the Downtown News. Take a look at this cartoon by
Cartoon by Doug Davis. Amen Mr. Davis.
Let's go Dodgers! Let's Go! Is it 5:30 yet? I am sporting my Clayton Kershaw t-shirt (women size) underneath a cardigan sweater at work. I have a pair of Dodger earrings on too.

Psychiatrist, MD
"I work with people who want to make changes in their lives.
I work through collaborative evaluation of patterns that are helpful or that are not working for that person.
The most effective methods of psychotherapy are individualized for each person.
I evaluate the usefulness for each individual of the growing options available in psychopharmacology. Prescription of medication is a collaborative process involving education about the purpose, use, and alternatives, evaluation of risks vs. benefits, and exploration of the meaning for each individual.

"I believe that lasting and effective biological and psychosocial treatments (psychopharmacology and psychotherapy) for mental health must incorporate and address the digestive, immune, genetic and detoxification systems of the body. I also believe that recovery involves empowering clients via engagement in their treatment to make informed decisions and educating them about their neurobiological conditions. I have been trained in bariatrics (weight loss) and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy and use a holistic approach to wellness to help people recover and to have a life worth living.

About Psychiatrists, meds and Psychiatric Nurses. A Psychiatrist in Montana (MT) is a qualified medical doctor who specializes in treating mental health issues and diagnosable disorders. Montana (MT) Psychiatrists differ from other mental health professionals in that they may prescribe medication or psychotropics. Psychiatrists may conduct physical examinations, order and interpret lab tests and brain image scans, such as CT scans, CAT Scans and MRIs. Some psychiatric practitioners in Montana (MT) specialize in age groups (so check for Montana (MT) child psychiatrists or adolescent psychiatrists in Montana (MT)). Those who work with the elderly are called geriatric psychiatrists or geropsychiatrists. Other related specialties include psychopharmacology (certain states license Psychopharmacologists), psychiatric genetics and neuroimaging. Psychiatric nurses in Montana (MT), or mental health nurses, specialize in nursing care for people with mental illness or mental distress. Montana (MT) Psychiatric nurses receive training in psychological therapies (such as CBT), building therapeutic alliance with clients and dealing with challenging behavior. Importantly, they are trained to administer psychiatric medication (or 'psychiatric meds') and, in very limited ways, to prescribe meds.

Fighting Fraud and Promoting Social Equity: a Nonprofit Agenda
As the 2012 elections focus debate on the nation's priorities, it's time for nonprofits to figure out how they can best serve a society increasingly divided over ideology, class, and financial scarcity.
The recent record has not been encouraging. Drastic cutbacks in government aid and the stagnant growth in foundation support have hurt many nonprofits, especially small and medium-size ones. Some groups have been forced to close their doors, while others are trimming

Follow-Up Postings:
Hello Moderators. I just typed up this general faq for this forum regarding livestock general care. I tried to keep it very general and I hope you take it into consideration (with general suggestions from other forum members) and post it for others to benefit. General Care of Livestock Owners should research the care and feeding associated with owning their species of livestock beforehand. Good basic care will go a long way towards keeping livestock healthy. Starting out with healthy animals will go a long way towards a positive livestock ownership experience. Housing: Feeding and diet: Clean, fresh water should be available at all times. Additional considerations are the mineral content of forages and concentrates (grains) provided. Some mineral deficiencies can take years to show up and it is best to confer with local breeders, your veterinarian, and/or a nutritional specialist familiar with your locale. It is also important to understand that not all mineral supplementations apply across species. A good example is copper; sheep for instance are known to be sensitive to copper, while goats need and can tolerate higher amounts of copper. The exact amounts are still being evaluated at the time of this writing. Never assume 2 species that look alike and generally lumped together have the same needs. Owners should research species individually. Routine vaccinations and preventatives: Know what is normal: Mentoring and being a Mentor: A good mentor can be an invaluable asset in determining a proper diet for your species, locale, and purposes. One should note also, that there is not one best way to care for livestock, and what works for one owner may or may not work for another. There are as many ways to care for livestock as there are owners of livestock. Each owner by evaluation and trial and error will tailor best practices to their species, locale, and purpose. When in doubt, seek professional advice, and if you find something that works for you, share your information with others. With proper care your chosen livestock species will thrive and flourish. |

Re: Fuel line shut off options?
Hi Bristol,
I am with you on this, except... The reason I started considering changing my linkage re-design for the mechanical shutoff, to a system including a solenoid valve, was an outgrowth of a fire safety discussion I have been having on another thread, CO2...
One of the strong points made in that thread is having the fuel shut off ASAP if you are dealing with a fire. If there was a fire in my engine space I would have to physically go to the fuel valve and do that. I have no problem with remembering to do it manually. Like you, I have forgotten it more than once but that is not an issue for me either. Changing the location of the manual valve to make the "reach" more convenient makes sense and I enjoy those little projects. That was what I was up to.
If the fuel is managed by a solenoid valve it will shut off immediately when power is turned off. That condition would be more easily managed and be accomplished when the engine got turned off. It makes sense to me now, for safety reasons, even if the manual option isn't a problem.
KISS is my motto, too. Keep it safe is something that should get factored into the equation. I think this "extra complexity" is a worthy one for fire safety.

Your passenger rights
when travelling by train
Protection from rail companies failing
to meet their liability obligations
Rail companies have to be properly insured to cover their liabilities under EU passenger rights legislation in respect of their passengers and luggage. Therefore you are protected against any failure of the rail company to meet its liability obligations.
What should you do if you believe your passenger rights have been infringed?
If you consider that your entitlements under rail passenger rights have been breached:
- You should first contact the railway company or the station manager.
- If you are not satisfied with their response, you can lodge a complaint with a National Enforcement Body (NEB).
NOTE: Complaints should in principle be made in the country where the incident took place.

Watch Brad Pitt and Jimmy Fallon Talk It Out Through the Magic of Breakdance
Ah, the magic of dance! Expressions made through movements of the body! Words don't matter! Wait-- is that Brad Pitt?
Instead of lining up the Hollywood superstar for a standard sit-down chat, 'Tonight Show' host Jimmy Fallon had another plan for 'Fury' star Pitt on last night's show: a "Breakdance Conversation." Who needs words when you have cardboard, an old warehouse, and -- let's be real here -- super talented stunt doubles? This just might be the best Brad Pitt interview ever, if only because when Pitt really is dancing, he displays a natural grace that's a lot more interesting than a series of on-set stories about that time Shia LaBeouf pulled out his own front tooth in the name of art.
Shia LaBeouf on Punching Brad Pitt, Pulling Out His Tooth and – Of Course – His Arrest
For the better part of 2014, Shia LaBeouf's antics were the talk of the gossip world. Can we even call them just "antics"? There was an arrest and an art installation, after all. Things were just weird, okay? The actor seems to have recovered from whatever was addling him, and he recently hit the talk show circuit in support of his upcoming World War II film, 'Fury,' a tour that inevitably results in his having to talk about, well, everything.
'50 Shapes of Grape'? Jimmy Fallon Pranks New Yorkers on '50 Shades of Grey' Trailer
Here's how you know that you've got a real cultural phenomenon on your hands: when you don't even need to call it by its correct name, and everyone still knows what you're talking about. Such is the case with the E.L. James book '50 Shades of Grey,' which will soon be a movie called, well, '50 Shades of Grey.' Wait, '50 Shapes of Grape'? What did you say? It doesn't matter, you still know what we're talking about here.
'The Nut Job' Review
Animated animals have long been used as cuddly, fluffy stand-ins for actual human beings and their fraught interactions, and director Peter Lepeniotis' 'The Nut Job doesn't break from that tradition in the slightest, using the hungry inhabitants of a sunny park to frame up an allegory about political machinations and maneuvering.
No. Really. That's what 'The Nut Job,' an animated film about squirrels trying to steal nuts from a local nut shop, is about. Politics.

Blues is one of the few music genres considered to be wholly American, and its roots are firmly planted in the rich soil of the Mississippi Delta. Here, too, is where legendary musician B.B. King came of age. Indianola's B.B. King Museum and Delta Interpretive Center celebrates not only King's prolific career, but also the significance of the Mississippi Delta to music then and now. Interactive exhibits take visitors through the guitarist's life in chronological order, starting with his boyhood in the Delta and culminating with the highlights of his decades-long career.
The Building: The 20,000-square-foot museum was built on the site of an old cotton gin where B.B. King once worked.
Valuable Relic: Tucked in the section about B.B.'s pre-celebrity life is the Panoram, an early video jukebox on which he first saw the big bands he became so enamored with.
From His Early Career: In the exhibit on what was known as the Chitlin Circuit, you'll find the leather-bound notebook in which King stashed his song charts, meticulously cross-referenced by songwriter.
Other Mementos: Memorabilia from King's life spans the decades, including a quilt from his boyhood home, his draft card, and various iterations of his guitar, Lucille.
Hidden Gem: The museum also includes items from other artists of his era, such as Janis Joplin's handwritten lyrics.
Hands-On Exhibit: Under video instruction from B.B. King himself, visitors strum tunes on guitars.
From the Press: "The ... facility is likely the most elaborate museum in the U.S. about a single living musician, but Mr. King's stature justifies the investment." ? Wall Street Journal
Dedicated to preserving Mississippi's heritage, Cottonlandia Museum educates visitors with an array of interdisciplinary displays and collections. Cottonlandia's permanent exhibits and rooms include the Mississippi Art Collection, an anthology of Mississippi-made art, most of it purchased from the winners of the biannual Cottonlandia Fine Arts Competition, and the Archaeology Room, home to a large assortment of Native American beads and a 12,000 year-old mastodon skeleton that they used to hang sabertooth fur coats. Meanwhile, the Malmaison Room presents photographs and furniture salvaged from the home of county namesake Greenwood Leflore, the last chief of the Choctaw tribe before their removal to Oklahoma, and the Swamp Room lets guests absorb the sights and sounds of the wetlands without brewing their own bog water out of bullfrog tears.
Earning a "Best in Category" honor from Entrepreneur magazine, Snap Fitness tones muscles and expands sweat glands with operations spanning 44 states. Members begin their voyage to vigor with a complimentary fitness consultation, where they'll be assigned a personal webpage to track their progress and blog about squats. Personages may warm up their gluteal masses through the use of the club's weights and cardio machines or by participating in a range of classes including boot camps, turbo kick, Zumba, and yoga.
Country Club of Canton's 18-hole course wraps snugly around a 22-acre lake, allowing it to incorporate water into play on most of the holes. It's been the central characteristic since the layout was first strung around the lake in 1923. Other previous occupants included the old pine forests, still in existence, as well as the lake monster, forced to relocate through eminent domain. The golf club's social scene revolves around the 12,000 square-foot clubhouse, where a driving range and putting green skirt the clubhouse grille and banquet space.
Course at a Glance * 18-hole, par 72 course * Total length of 6,322 yards from the back tees * Rating of 69.5 from the back tees * Slope of 114 from the back tees * Three sets of tees * Scorecard
Helmed by LPGA Class A instructor Kathy Hester, Mississippi?s OnTarget Golf Schools build smooth, dependable swings during six one-hour, weekly classes. The six-session program allows instructors to mold pupils? form by breaking the swing down into its component parts, introducing sound techniques and allowing ample practice repetitions to commit concepts to muscle memory, where they will join riding a bicycle and swallowing oversize jawbreakers on command. Golf gurus also teach clubbers to hit practice shots with a target in mind, developing a subconscious association between their ball?s destination and the shot required to reach it. Clients can consult the schedule for upcoming classes. Online map directions might not be completely accurate, so customers should call ahead if they've never visited any of the courses before. Clubs will be available upon request.
The state-of-the-art equipment, convenient amenities, and variety of exercise classes at Courthouse Racquet & Fitness's six locations earned the club several of Jackson Free Press's Urban Living awards in 2011 and 2012, including Best Fitness Center/Gym and Best Yoga Instructor. Visit the flagship Lakeland location to swim in a pool of professional athletic proportions. Explore the 13,000-square-foot Madison 51 facility's yoga, spin, and boot-camp classes or the Northeast center's indoor and outdoor tennis courts.
The newest location in Brandon boasts more than 100 treadmills, elliptical machines, rowers, and other pieces of cardio equipment. Women can take advantage of the Downtown site's ladies-only cardio area. Three locations offer childcare, and the Byram facility has launched an afterschool program, where kids can do arts and crafts and engage in healthy physical activities in an environment devoid of teddy-bear drill instructors.

Bengals' Benson Says He's Playing vs. Bills
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Sep 28 2011 1:02PM
After some confusion on Tuesday evening set in regarding whether or not Cincinnati Bengals running back Cedric Benson would suit up against Buffalo, the running back was firm in his stance about his status for Sunday.
"I'm playing this week. I know I am," Benson told the Cincinnati Enquirer. "We had a good meeting yesterday. I had a lot of facts to back us and now we'll hope for the best outcome and see what happens."
Benson is referring to his appeal meeting with the league to try and lessen the severity of his three-game suspension given out.
Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis also affirmed Benson's words, saying that they're preparing as though Benson will play on Sunday. But he also added if the league says differently during the week, they have a backup plan.
Cincinnati's top runner has accounted for just under 80-percent of the team's total carries this season. With a rookie quarterback at the helm in Andy Dalton, the Bengals have favored running the ball 55-percent of the time in their first three games.
Benson's main backup is Bernard Scott, who is second on the team with only eight carries.

"Exceptionally narrated"
Jeremy Davidson, brings life to Steven Tyler, so much so, that when one hears the voice of the actual Tyler at the end, its a serious disappointment. The only hitch is that there is just too much talk about drugs to the point that you want to skip the part...but you cant, as Steven is all over the place and you might just miss some of his golden words in a way only Tyler can conjure. As another reviewer said, if the songs he talks about could also play alongside, this would be a book better than 5 stars. If they do take out another version with songs included, I would buy this book again. Despite these drawbacks, this is one book I would like to hear again. Also, printed autobiographies always have photographs, this should be incorporated into the audio book.
"Far-fetched but relevant concept"
More James Bondish than usual with Langdon getting out of improbable situations. However, the concept of over use of the planet's resources due to overpopulation has been the worry of generations since Malthus. Man has, however, figured out a way to stay ahead of the threat of over population till now and probably will continuously innovate to do just that. Still, malignant genetic manipulations are a red light ahead and quite a possible scenario. Towards the end I was just waiting for the book to get over.
"Interesting concept"
It took a while to get into the book almost 25-30% of the way through and I was almost going to return it. But then the book picked up. More than the story of retribution (which was enjoyable), it was the psychological aspects of relationships that the protagonist had that were more enjoyable.
"Depressing and exhilarating"
The world of a cancer victim is certain drawn well and empathy with the characters is at a very high level throughout. But you just know that this is not going to end well and truly it is the little victories of the characters along the way that make this book worth the read. Also its a bit of a chick-lit, so as a guy it may be a bit too nice sometimes.
"Interesting premise"
Loved it but had a few reservations. (1) A scenario where the state is all powerful and controls the lives of "ordinary" people is a scare tactic that was unnecessary and (2) that little kids as small as 8 and 10 have the ability to change the world is a little far-fetched. All the same, I enjoyed listening to it and would still recommend it for its interesting take on the future and wars
"Great story on a "dry" subject"
One wouldn't expect an intriguing story such as this on the making of a dictionary. In a way, you can compare the protagonist Dr Minor with today's icon Steve Jobs and wonder; does it take a person to be "mad" to be so brilliant? And in so many ways, being thus is not so bad after all.
"Excellent, riveting book"
I enjoyed this book, especially the intricacies of court practice and how the mind of a defense attorney works. Mickey, the main character, may have been a bit too sugar-coated, which is why I give the story an overall 4 star. Also the end was too convenient and wish there would have been more of an edge to it. The script was well narrated and looked forward to hearing the story on every occasion possible. Have also read Connelly's other book, "The Closers", and have now bought more of the author's books. Despite these flaws, an excellent read.
"Transported to another world"
Both versions probably have their charm, but this was narrated really well
The old Jacob Jankowski is probably my favourite character. He is old but his words are wise
excellent narration, with great voice modulation
when the dwarf went missing
excellent setting, excellent story, it's as if u r in another world when you are listening. One can almost smell the animals and the body odour of the characters, so well was the story etched.
"It's like 2 different books in one"
The first half of this book is exciting, provocative and excellently argued. I was amazed about how the evolutionary psychology discussed could mirror my life. I had decided to buy a kindle version as well to read over. But the 2nd half was a complete disappointment. Boring, insipid and more a biography of Darwin's life, not something I had signed up for. Also the theories were now discussed in such a way as to fit into Darwin's life retrospectively.
That's why it's 2 books; the first half mind-blowing, the 2nd, contrived and boring. But just for the first half, the book is worth 4 stars.
I would, only for the 1st half
There were no characters
Yes, the 1st half was un-put-down-able
Written with wit and style and narrated equally well. An engaging story that I had to finish.

Clichéd but what about the media? (625 comments)
I recently had the opportunity to compare modern American comics with Franco-Belgian comics( "Bandes Dessinées"), and one thing that struck me almost from the beginning was the way that the majority of American comics seemed to involve fantasy characters and worlds that had very little whatsoever to do with reality, especially with respect to the physical universe.
I realise this doesn't necessarily mean anything, but it did certainly make me wonder.

Does anyone have an idea what this is? I think it's a fern. I bought it at discount some time ago and it had no label.

Baby acne
Baby acne
Baby acne is usually seen on the cheeks, chin, and forehead. It can be present at birth but usually develops around 3 to 4 weeks of age. Baby acne occurs when hormonal changes in the body stimulate oil glands in the baby's skin. The condition can look worse when the baby is crying or fussy, or any other instance that increases blood flow to the skin. Baby acne is harmless and usually resolves on its own within several weeks.

Pittsburgh, PA (Sports Network) - Ryan Church's two-run homer in the sixth inning vaulted the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 3-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs in the opener of a three-game series at PNC Park.
Andy LaRoche also homered for the Pirates, who opened a nine-game homestand and put the brakes on a three-game skid.
Paul Maholm (2-2) earned the win and allowed two runs on eight hits over six innings.
"When you're not scoring runs, it all boils down to pitching and defense," said Pirates manager John Russell. "We pitched very well and fortunately we got a couple of home runs."
Home runs by Alfonso Soriano and Geovany Soto accounted for the offense for the Cubs, who saw their three-game win streak halted.
Cubs starter Ryan Dempster (2-2) was solid, allowing three runs on eight hits with seven strikeouts over seven innings, but suffered the loss.
In the bottom of the sixth, the Pirates trailed 2-1. Garrett Jones laced a two-out single before Church came to the plate and belted a fastball over the wall in right field.
"He's a tough pitcher, and a got a pitch up (in the zone) and was lucky to get enough wood on it," said Church.
Evan Meek replaced Maholm and tossed a scoreless seventh before Joel Hanrahan recorded a perfect eighth.
Closer Octavio Dotel yielded a one-out walk to Derrek Lee in the top of the ninth, but Marlon Byrd grounded out and Aramis Ramirez stranded the potential tying run when he fouled out to end the game.
For his efforts, Dotel earned his fourth save of the campaign.
LaRoche's solo blast in the first opened the scoring before the Cubs tied it up when Soriano's seventh homer of 2010 began the fourth inning.
Soto's two-out home run in the sixth gave the Cubs a 2-1 lead.

Tayyara leaves behind a legacy
Moffat County Commissioner Saed Tayyara, 67, dies Saturday in Craig
Sunday, November 30, 2008
- "I think the thing that kept him going for the last two years was serving as (county) commissioner and serving the people of Moffat County."
- "He always believed in Craig, Colo. He would do anything he could to better Craig, Colo."
- "I'd never met a man that was so American. He lived the American dream."
- Lisa Tayyara Coffman, 39, daughter of the late Saed Tayyara
- Tony St. John, former Craig City Council member
- Moffat County Commissioner, Tom Mathers
Timeline: Saed Tayyara's public service
Moffat County Commissioner Saed Tayyara remained politically and socially active in the community from the time he moved to the Yampa Valley until his death Nov. 27. Here is a brief timeline of his business and public service endeavors.
• 1941: Born in Tartus, Syria
• 1963: Emigrated to the United States
• 1972: Became an American citizen
• 1973 to 1974: Opened The Red Stone Hotel and Tartus Restaurant in Hayden
• 1975: Opened Kentucky Fried Chicken in Craig
• 1977 to 1981: Served as a Craig city councilor
• 1978: Became a member of Club 20, a Western Slope government advocacy group
• 1981 to 1983: Served first term as Craig mayor
• 1989 to 1991: Served second term as Craig mayor
• 1989: Opened Colorado Fried Chicken in Craig
• 1991 to 1993: Served third term as Craig mayor
• 2004 to 2008: Served as a Moffat County commissioner
• 2004 to 2008: Served on the Club 20 Board of Directors
• 2006 to 2008: Served on the Club 20 Executive Committee as Region 11 vice-chair
• 2006: Established the Lucile Bogue/Saed Tayyara Scholarship for Colorado Northwestern Community College
• 2008: Spearheaded the Loudy-Simpson soccer field project
• 2008: Re-elected to second term as Moffat County commissioner
Tayyara also received community awards and recognitions in his time in the Yampa Valley, including the Craig Daily Press' Man of the Year in 1993, and served on various groups' boards.
Craig Holding public office wasn't just Saed Tayyara's pastime or just another bullet point on his resume.
It was a hallmark of his life.
Now, Tayyara's family members and colleagues mourn the passing of the man and the public servant.
Tayyara, 67, died shortly after 8 p.m. Saturday in Craig.
Despite having been diagnosed with stage-four lung cancer in February 2007, Tayyara ran for and won a second term as Moffat County district 2 commissioner.
His daughter, Lisa Tayyara Coffman, 39, believes his passion for the position may have been what helped him exceed doctors' initial predictions that cancer would overtake him within a year.
"I think the thing that kept him going for the last two years was serving as (county) commissioner and serving the people of Moffat County," she said.
History of a public servant
Tayyara emigrated to the U.S. from Syria in 1963 and became an American citizen in 1972. He came to Craig several years later, opening a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant in Craig in 1975.
But it was as a politician, not a restaurateur, that he left his mark on Craig. During the next 30 years, Tayyara would forge a political career that spanned periods of boom and bust.
In the late 1970s, Tayyara, a Republican, was elected a Craig City Council member. His election came at a time when Craig was seeing unprecedented growth following an energy industry boom in the region.
"We spent most of our time putting out fires and keeping up with the growth," said Jerry Thompson, who served as mayor from the mid-1970s to 1981.
He remembered Tayyara as a councilman who took his responsibility seriously.
"Saed just really cared," he said. "He did his homework. He always came to meetings prepared."
As a city council member, Tayyara also spoke frequently with citizens to understand their needs and made an effort to hear both sides of controversial issues, he added.
Tayyara served three terms as mayor, beginning in 1981. Subsequent terms followed in 1989 and 1991. During his time in office, he inspired others to enter public office.
Craig resident Tony St. John was one.
Until Tayyara encouraged him to run for city council, St. John never would have considered any public office, he said.
Eventually, though, St. John ran for, and won, a seat on city council during Tayyara's last term as mayor.
"During the time that I served on City Council with Mayor Tayyara, you would not find a more dedicated individual to his community, to the city and the county," St. John said. "He always believed in Craig, Colo. He would do anything he could to better Craig, Colo."
St. John remembered Tayyara maintaining a positive outlook even after Craig's economy suffered with an energy industry slump in the 1980s.
Tayyara also inspired current Mayor Don Jones.
Several years before he ran for city council in 1995, Jones discussed his plans with Tayyara.
Jones was most inspired by Tayyara's commitment to his constituents.
"He was dedicated to the community," he said, "in all aspects."
"I would say his No. 1 : goal was to get the city and the county to work together," said Bob Sweeney, former Craig Daily Press publisher.
Following his passion
In 2004, Tayyara and fellow Republican Tom Gray were elected freshmen county commissioners.
Gray was struck by Tayyara's appreciation for the American political system.
"The one thing that always came through was how thankful he was he lived in a country where anyone could get involved in government," he said.
Tayyara stood in support of fiscally responsible government and property rights, Gray said.
The late commissioner, who played on the Syrian national soccer team as a youth, also spearheaded a project to install two additional soccer fields at Loudy-Simpson Park. Tayyara said he thought the fields would offer a positive pastime for area children.
He was didn't hesitate to support causes he believed in.
At the same time, Tayyara also was able to weigh multiple views of an issue before making a decision, said Tom Mathers, district 3 county commissioner.
Tayyara made a point of becoming involved in local groups, including Associated Governments of Northwest Colorado, and reporting their progress to the commission.
But, above all, Tayyara was dedicated to the country that had opened its arms to him.
"I'd never met a man that was so American," Mathers said. "He lived the American dream."
Final office
In November, Moffat County voters again selected Tayyara, who ran unopposed in the general election for a second term as district 2 county commissioner.
He planned to see renovations at the Moffat County Public Safety Center happen and wanted the county to continue investing in its roads.
Tayyara also intended to see new soccer fields completed. After the November election, he said completing the new fields would be his most important goal.
Although started, that dream wasn't realized. The two new soccer fields await finishing touches.
Still, the project he supported could become more than a place where youths go to practice the sport Tayyara loved as a boy.
They could become a memorial to the man who helped make them possible.
In the past, Gray said, residents have asked whether the county will name the soccer fields after Tayyara.
"I certainly think that would be appropriate," he said.
As of Sunday night, a funeral service had not been scheduled for Tayyara.

Patrick, yes this is one annoying thing about reading online. Sometimes, if you go to the "Community" tab at the top of the page and bring the comments to the article up, you can read the article by clicking the title of it at the top of the comments. Usually, this displays it without it being in layers.
lonelyone 6 years, 2 months ago
Patrick, sometimes if your on a page that puts the side info over the top of the article, you can hit refrresh.....if you have that option or you can put your cursor in the left hand column, I always click it just to make sure the computer knows where I'm am?? hold down the ctrl button and then move the scroll wheel on your mouse back and forth until the mess moves to where it's suppose to be. Course that depends on if you have a mouse with a scroll wheel. If that works for you, then be sure to look in the right hand corner where you'll see a number with a percent sign....mine is at 100%.....while holding the ctrl button down and using the scroll wheel, bring that number back up to what you normally have it at. That is how big your print will be on that page. That's probably as clear as mud huh??? lol

But back to the topic at hand....Yes I am sure Mr. Tayyara will be missed. It seemed as tho if anything were going on in Craig, political or not, if it was something that involved the community, then Mr Tayyara was there. A few years ago the paper ran an artical about him and his growing up in his native country and all the problems of his youth and how he came to America. Maybe as a tribute to him they could run it again and let those who don't know him understand why he got so involved in this community. It was an interesting story.

Farewell old friend as well. You will be remembered for your thoughtfullness, dedication, and caring personality. I feel honored to have known you.

My one regret about leaving MoCo is not being able to keep up my almost daily relationship with a grand gentleman. He had his human flaws but he always had the best interests of Craig and MoCo at heart . I will miss him and our debates on religion, politics, and the ever present evils of the labor unions. He will be received into the hand of a loving Savior who will welcome him home.

TechEd 2013: The ASP.NET Team, Surfaces at a Deep Discount, (and Google Glass?)
Humid, harmonious, and happy
People weren't kidding when they told me New Orleans is humid, but the good news is the conference venue has great air conditioning. As expected TechEd is focused mainly on system administrator issues, but I'm feeling that even more so this year with BUILD right around the corner on June 26. However, that isn't keeping the ASP.NET team from letting us in on what they've been working on these past few months.
I wrote a post a little more than a year ago on how Microsoft was starting to embrace open source. Well, it seems to be paying off with Web API 2: two of the new features, CORS and Attribute Routing, were initially contributed by community members and then perfected with the ASP.NET team. These two features are making writing code for your website more streamlined.
In other impressive updates, layout and styling are now based in Bootstrap and cross-browser testing is now much quicker with a tool codenamed "Artery." We saw, Damian Edwards, Program Manager on the ASP.NET team, make a change in the code, rerun the program, and show us the updated website on local versions of Explorer and Chrome. In addition to upgrade announcements, a welcome change came in the form of a consistent toolset offering with Visual Studio 2013 that makes working across Web Forms and MVC much easier for developers. All new versions of these technologies, ASP.NET MVC 5, Web API 2, and Signal R2 will run only with .NET 4.5.
Sitting in the front of the packed room I kept thinking this is what Microsoft needs—an engaged audience that can work with a brilliant team to consistently update the technology and encourage change.
Oh, and Microsoft (in what I think is a smart move) is selling the Surface RT and Surface Pro, to full attendees, at deep, deep discounts, with the RT priced at $99 and the Pro at $399. The lines have been massive since the offer was announced. Hopefully this will provide Microsoft with more mindshare if not market share in the coming months.
And a note about Google Glass: I brought them to the conference in my continued social experiment to see how people would react. It has been a mixed bag of folks wanting to talk to me about them, those afraid I am recording them, and even a few that aren't sure what it is. It continues to be good conversation starter as is the story of my eating my first crawdad—a New Orleans staple!
Developing for Google Glass
Maximiliano Firtman talks about what developers need to know in order to start creating apps for Google glass. Right now, most apps fit the mold of cloud-based web apps that can be written in pretty much any language with the Mirror API. A forthcoming Java-based SDK will allow people to develop native Android apps, which will open up a world of as-yet-unknown virtual reality opportunities. The groundbreaking nature of this new device also means developers have to start to grapple with an entirely new user experience, not simply apps with a clear background, but a whole new way of navigating the world.
Thinking in Code
Multithreading for your brain
Allen Downey, is a Professor of Computer Science at Olin College of Engineering. He has written three books for us, so far, Think Python, Think Stats, and Think Complexity. I recently got the chance to sit down with him to talk about how writing good code can and should actually change the way you think—and make you a better programmer.
- Think differently when dealing with natural language, math, and code [Discussed at 0:38]
- Better code equals a better brain [Discussed at 2:05]
- Look to Python for a jumpstart [Discussed at 4:43]
- Manage the complexity of code for long lasting programs [Discussed at 7:12]
- Dealing with legacy programs? Try to see the big picture. [Discussed at 8:40]
You can view the entire interview in the following video.
Alessandro Molina, is CTO at Axant.it and a member of the TurboGears web framework development team. I recently got the chance to sit down with him to talk about the exciting opportunities TurboGears offers users, how being open source has affected the proejct, and what we should expect next.
Google Glass: From Google I/O to Maker Faire
Could technology be bringing people closer together?
I had quite an experience at Maker Faire this weekend. So instead of a follow up on Google I/O today I'm going talk about how wearables, specifically Google Glass, seem to be bringing people closer together rather than farther apart. So, more on Google I/O later in the week.
A Tale of Two Events
I first broke out my Google Glass at Google I/O where Glass Explorers and Googlers filled the Moscone West sporting the device. Glass Explorers are those that pre-ordered the I/O last year and winners of the #IfIHadGlass contest. The mood towards Glass at I/O was, generally, split into the have's and have not's. Those with them proudly showed them off while others fell into the following camps: carefully measured excitement, cool intrigue, and those who were over it. I think for the most part the subdued reaction was a reflection of attendees wanting to be able to get into the action immediately. It was a shame that Glass wasn't available for purchase to those at I/O this year.
In stark contrast to that reaction was the response I received from attendees of this past weekend's Maker Faire. My first inkling of what was ahead were the whispers. I would hear excitedly, "Is that the Google Glass?" which made me smile. However, when I met up with my 11:30 a.m. appointment at his booth and started talking about and sharing the Glass with him and his colleagues a mob quickly formed. Frankly, I got scared for a moment as a mass of people forced inward towards me, and then thought what if someone just takes off with these? But, no one did. These mini-mobs happened to me twice, both times in the Electronics area (not surprisingly). The outcome of these Glass flash mobs, however, was quite simply lovely. Individuals were polite, asked me questions, wanted to take pictures of themselves with it and that was it. Throughout the day people would comment on them, stop me to talk, but it was always a pleasure with people smiling ear to ear when I had them play with the device.
What will wearables really mean to society?
The quick answer for now—who knows? I have to say I was a bit overwhelmed by all of this social engagement. I had anticipated some notice, but this? Now, granted, the attendees of a Maker Faire might skew towards being interested in new gadgets and devices but my experience was unexpected—and wonderful. I talked to more random, happy people at this event than I have in a long while. It has given me a new perspective on recent issues that have come up regarding the Glass, such as invasion of privacy and the idea that we are disconnecting with the world more and more via personal devices, when in fact I was finding just the opposite. Maybe in time everyone will have a Glass or have seen one and it won't be a big deal. But for now, it is generating interaction and discussion about technology with young and old alike.
Oh, and here you can see what it is like to be attacked by a T-Rex from my POV via the Glass, scary stuff. Click here to see the T-Rex Attack.
This will be the first post in a series on my journey through the world with Glass.
Hypermedia APIs
Mike Amundsen explains why developers should explore hypermedia possibilities as they develop RESTful applications.
Google I/O 2013: Android Studio, Google Play Music: All Access, and New Advances in Search
My day one experience
While there was no skydiving this year to show off Google's new wearable Glass, there were plenty of attendees wearing them proudly including me. This year hardware, however, didn't take center stage. The focus was on new tools and upgrades to existing products and platforms.
Android developers were thrilled to see new APIs and tools. The biggest cheers, at least in my section, were for Android Studio built on IntelliJ which from what I can tell is way better than Eclipse but notably not open source. The Developer Console got a substantial update with integrated translation services, user metrics, and revenue graphs, but what really made a big splash the beta testing and staged rollout facilitation. These along with new location and gaming APIs rounded out the new offering for the Android development crowd.
User-Centered Design
Travis Lowdermilk (@tlowdermilk) is a software developer who recently joined Microsoft as UX Designer for Visual Studio. He hosts the Windows Developer Show and advocates for User-Centered Design (UCD). Travis is the author of User-Centered Design: A Developer's Guide to Building User-Friendly Applications.

I hate Rewards Programs.
Let's just get that out of the way at the outset of this piece. While some programs are well done and simple, the vast majority are lop-sided in favor of the Retailer, whose sole purpose is NOT to provide value but rather to track consumer purchasing behavior and influence spending – to increase the lifetime value of a customer to the retailer's bottom line.
Rarely is it an equitable exchange either, because let's face it – who has the time to track all these points, cards and programs, read the fine print about what they can and can't be used for and when, and actually redeem them?
True, the supermarkets have it pretty much figured out. It's a simple formula: Charge artificially inflated food prices to consumers who are unwilling to allow the retailer to track their shopping patterns and normal prices to consumers who are willing to open their Privacy Kimonos.
So yes, supermarkets, food, airline miles – there is tangible value being exchanged here under the guise of privacy; but if each store makes you carry a plastic card or smaller one for your keyring, eventually things start to get a bit out of hand and it becomes cumbersome.
That's where your smart phone can come in handy. I'm currently on the iPhone 4, but most Android phones also have high resolution cameras these days, so this will work equally well on other platforms.
I was at Walgreens this week and for the umpteenth time was asked for my "Rewards Card" at checkout so I could "earn points" toward a "gift certificate" that I could use to buy more crap at … yep, Walgreens.
Normally I store my rewards card numbers in Evernote and just read the number off to the cashier, but this time it didn't work and I was tired of it so I took the time to find a better way.
I sat down at the pharmacy with a bag of smoked almonds, shoved a few in my mouth, took out my iPhone 4, took out the Rewards Card, took a photo of it and uploaded it to my Evernote account, adding "Walmart Rewards Card" as the title and a tag of "Rewards Cards" so I could easily retrieve it in the future.
Then I brought up the entry and showed the iPhone to the pharmacist and asked him to see if he could scan it from my iPhone. He did. It worked and on the way out I tossed my plastic rewards card in the trash bin.
One small victory for me in the war on clutter.
Yep, I am indeed aware that there are apps for smart phones that track and store rewards cards. I tried most of them. Very few worked and it was clear that most were specifically designed to present me with "Offers" and not to simply store my cards. Simple is good. Less is more.
If you click the Archives navigation above, you'll see that I've often written about creative ways to use Evernote here. This is yet another.
If you're on an iPhone 4, I recommend that you buy the app "CamScanner" for the iPhone, primarily because it has an OCR feature that indexes text in the photos that you shoot from the camera, as well as an anti-shake, stability feature, which makes for clearer photos.
Couple of rules of thumb:
1. Obviously wait until you've actually tested that your retailer has the technical equipment to scan a barcode from your smartphone and that it works before you toss the plastic away.
2. If you decide to store your rewards cards in your smartphone, if you have frequent flier cards you may want to store them in a safe or a place at home rather than tossing them. If you do toss them, you probably want to shred them first so nobody else can use your miles.
Other than that, storing Rewards Cards, club membership cards etc. on your smart phone is much more convenient than carrying a fistful of plastic.

Love the doors. I prefer them stained to painted....is the wood good? If so, do them with sikkens and it will make them very weather proof. |
And get the hardware to a nice brass shine. |
If you paint it, it will peel. I would stay with a transparent stain like you current have & simply renew it. If you would like a colored door, then use an solid, opaque stain. That has a better chance of adhering to your door surface. I like your walnut stained door, but if you must change, then perhaps a bit more red in the stain to pull out the color of your bricks. |

Strayer, we have almost the same identical bricks, doors, quoins and recessed front. My house faces west and I get no pretty play of sunlight in the mornings and when it reaches there in the afternoon, it is full-blown hot, and I have struggled with door color every time we paint. I am not particularly fond of the stain and want to change it, but each time, we just restain. Our treatment above the door is more palladian like and the general contractor painted it, so it gives my house a disjointed look. Yours looks beautiful with the play of light at the front. I think I would keep it stained. Incidentally, I have two similar planters to yours but mine are larger cobalt blue with red geraniums and white petunias, gives the front a little more umph since my door is hard to see from the street and the sunlight does not favor it. |
