Hey Turtle, Are these composite or glass or other? They look very similar to the AM template. Any specs and/or construction materials would be helpful. Thanks!
they're the honeycomb RTM construction. similar to the AM2, but a much longer base, & much more rake as a result. the tip is pretty much the same as the AM2. very stoked to try these fins out! thanks again turrtle!
Turtle,... Are these still available..??
i bought them a while ago. sorry mudshark.

Summer Recipes
Just daydreaming over here about my two favorite summer aromas: beach and BBQ! What's better than the scent of a fired-up grill emitting a delicious aroma? How about the scent of fruit on the grill?! The sweet alternative to your basic hamburger or hot dog is a fun, healthy treat that tastes even better once grilled outside. Fruit kabobs are simple to make and I promise that it'll leave everyone craving for more. Whether you prefer pineapple, peaches, apricots or strawberries, each one radiates a sweet, succulent taste that'll spark your taste buds.
What are you grilling this summer?

Hoekom skep Audacity 'n gids vol .au-lêers wanneer ek 'n projek stoor?
Audacity breaks long tracks into small pieces so it can edit them more efficiently. When you save an .aup project file, Audacity stores all the pieces in a _data folder that has the same name as the .aup file. For example, "song.aup" will open the pieces inside the "song_data" folder.
You should not touch the .au files yourself, or move or rename the _data folder. Simply open the .aup file, then Audacity will load the .au files in the correct sequence automatically.
To learn more about working with Audacity projects, please see our File Management Tips on the Audacity Wiki.

At Children's, we recognize that heart transplantation can be a long and sometimes confusing process for you and your child. We'll provide you all the support, guidance and information you need - from careful evaluation of your child's condition, through surgery and follow-up care.
Heart transplants at Children's are performed in our state-of-the-art facility right here in Milwaukee. The Herma Heart Center, made up of a coalition of specialists in cardiology, critical care, anesthesia and cardiothoracic surgery, is one of the most successful programs of its kind in the country. With high volume and consistently superior outcomes, our team have been leaders in clinical innovation and academic research and have set new standards for the care of children and adults with congenital heart disease. We have been nationally recognized for the operative and post-operative care of children with hypoplastic left heart syndrome.
Our Interstage Home Monitoring Program has been widely emulated and our pioneering use of Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) has revolutionized the way children are monitored during their operations and post-operatively during recovery. We were one of the first programs in the country to recognize that survival from cardiac surgery is not enough; survival with the best possible quality of life and neurodevelopmental outcome is really the goal. For that reason, we created the nation's first cardiac Neurodevelopmental Follow-up Program, which allows us to provide early recognition and targeted therapy for our patients and families.
Our pediatric heart transplant program is the fastest growing program in the region over the past decade and is the only program of its kind in Wisconsin. With an unwavering commitment to achieve the best possible outcomes for heart transplant patients here in Milwaukee as well as throughout the world, our team has contributed numerous clinical and research innovations that have changed the standard of care throughout the heart transplant community.

The Open University of Sri Lanka (OUSL) is the country's premier Open and Distance Learning (ODL) hub whose main campus straddles three dynamic suburban towns of Nawala, Narahenpita and Kirulapone. The university has a proud history spanning over 34 years where the OUSL was instrumental in providing high quality education to a wider section of the society through its sprawling network of Regional Centers (RC) and Study Centers (SC) situated in all major districts.
Due to the nature of its teaching methodology and infrastructure, the OUSL is able to serve a large student population spread throughout the country. Currently, there are more than 35,000 students studying at the OUSL. They are served by eight Regional Centers and eighteen Study Centers located around the country. The Central Campus and the Colombo Regional Center are located at Nawala. The other seven Regional Centers are in Kandy, Matara, Jaffna, Anuradhapura, Badulla, Kurunegala and Batticaloa.
The ODL system of the OUSL overcomes the barriers of age and geography by disseminating knowledge through print, visual and web-based media. The four faculties – Humanities and Social Sciences, Natural Sciences, Engineering Technology and Education – cater to a wide range of practical and employment-oriented disciplines. The degrees awarded by the OUSL are equivalent to degrees awarded by any other university under the purview of the University Grants Commission.

Madbury budget hearing draws slim crowd
Sunday, February 17, 2013
Only a few people showed up for the public hearing of the selectmen's budget for 2013 but the proposed appropriations were discussed one by one.
The petitioned article relative to establishing a Heritage Commission and a Heritage Fund which was submitted for inclusion in the Town Meeting Warrant will not appear thereon since the Supervisors of the Checklist found that of the 27 signatures submitted, one was not that of a registered voter and two signatures did not match the signatures of the registered voters as they appear on the voter registration cards. In order to be eligible for inclusion on the warrant, a petition is required to have the signatures of at least 25 registered voters.
The conservation easement covers 167 acres of land which abuts the 55 acres of the Brett conservation and the 36 acres of town-owned land at Hoyt's Pond. Another 60 acres of Gangwer's Roselawn Farm on the other side of Perkins Road, part of which is in Durham, was put into conservation about 4 years ago.
All women of the community are welcome.The president hopes a few might bring some refreshments; she can be reached at email@example.com.

Joseph Gordon Levitt Gossip
Joseph Gordon Levitt gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Perfect Casting: Lizzy Caplan & JGL edition
Paul Martinka/ Splash
Lizzy Caplan and Joseph Gordon-Levitt are shooting a movie together in New York about Christmas Eve and old friends getting together. (She's not with Matthew Perry anymore. Remember that???) Great casting, non? In real life, I could totally see these two hooking up. I mean, I know it's just acting but seeing her kissing him is the most attracted I've been to him ever. Full Story
Joseph Gordon Levitt's 70s walk
Miya/ Splash
Joseph Gordon Levitt is in Montreal shooting a film called The Walk, a biopic about Philippe Petit who walked back and forth between the Twin Towers in 1974 on a wire. This explains the costume. It makes him look even littler than he is. I watched Don Jon on TV the other night. Did you enjoy it? The movie, JGL's directorial debut received good reviews. Full Story
Annie & JGL
Michael Buckner/ John Sciulli/ Getty
Anne Hathaway and Joseph Gordon-Levitt attended the 3rd Annual Reel Stories event to benefit the Motion Picture & Television Fund on Saturday in Hollywood. They've been friends for a while. They sing together. They make movies together. She makes cameos for him when he directs movies. This is an interesting relationship. Full Story
Joseph Gordon-Levitt: Best Oscar Grin
Kevork Djansezian/ Kevin Winter/ Christopher Polk/ Getty
We know he's on a hot streak right now. We know he's really coming into his own creatively. That he's more in demand than ever. His status as one of the chosen people was cemented by the fact that he was asked to appear in Kimmel's Post-Oscar show as a boldface name. That's a big deal. Full Story
Paul Rudd could be a superhero
Wenn, FameFlynet
And I would be totally fine with that. Wouldn't you? Variety is exclusively reporting that Rudd, along with Joseph Gordon-Levitt, is a finalist for Ant-Man, which will follow The Avengers: Age of Ultron in 2015. But this is a Marvel movie, and worse, it's directed by fanboy favorite Edgar Wright—a filmmaker who hasn't tapped commercial success in the US yet but who is crazy talented and a magnet for casting rumors thanks to the number and quality of actors who want to work with him—so this a superstorm of superhero bullsh*t. Full Story
Joseph Godon-Levitt Sets The Bar for THAT Question/Loves BC Weed
Is Joseph Gordon-Levitt gay? It's a question I've asked myself, and I'm sure one that JoGo has been asked, ungraciously, countless times as he's grown up on camera. Seems like a question everyone has to be prepared to answer if they want to be a star. Now though, Joe's redefined the way all straight celebrities should respond when faced with this passé query. Full Story
7 Feelings about the Don Jon trailer by Joseph Gordon-Levitt
The trailer for Don Jon, the first movie written and directed by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, is here and it's a weird one. Don Jon is basically about The Situation if he never got famous, and co-stars Scarlett Johansson. I'm a little overwhelmed by how many feelings I have about this, so I'm going to organize them for you, just like I do for the therapist! 1. Full Story
Guys & Dolls & GI: Joe
Noel Vasquez/ Getty
I always forget that Joseph Gordon-Levitt was in GI: Joe. In fact, I always forget that JGL and Channing Tatum have actually been in other stuff together (Stop-Loss, JGL's upcoming Don Jon). They're probably friends, or friendly work acquaintances anyway. Isn't that weird? JGL and Channing Tatum are buddies. Full Story
Best Oscar Sports: Daniel Radcliffe & Joseph Gordon-Levitt
BROWN /KLAMAR /Merritt /Harrison /Djansezian /Buckner /Winter /Beck /Getty Images
Suppose you're an affable, lovable male actor in your 20s who's generally respected and considered to be both talented and kind of a get-along guy – sooner or later you're going to get asked to do something that is a little embarrassing or has the potential to be silly or great. Full Story
Joseph Gordon-Levitt and the new movie star
ROBYN BECK/Getty
Joseph Gordon-Levitt wants superstardom. He's already in the mix for the next Batman, carrying into DC/WB's Justice League movie, and now he's been revealed as the late entry into Marvel's casting pool for the lead role in Guardians of the Galaxy, as space captain Peter Quill/Star-Lord. Full Story
Joseph Gordon-Levitt's budget superhero team
In the wake of the monster success of The Avengers, Warner Brothers announced they will be bringing DC Comics' own superhero super group, the Justice League, to the big screen. (Hilariously, they will attempt to do this in the same year that The Avengers 2 comes out.) The Justice League includes Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, the Green Lantern and Aquaman, three of which have already been or are soon to be introduced in solo movies. Full Story
JGL's 2nd SNL
I've only watched up to Weekend Update but so far, Joseph Gordon-Levitt's not freaking me out as much as he did the last time he hosted when it was much too much hyperness and he may not have blinked the entire time. Anyway, since he's so popular, I'm assuming everyone squealed when he took his shirt off and rode his pony so I'll attach a few of those shots. Full Story
On The Dark Knight Rises
The following review is spoiler-heavy. Please click away if you haven't seen the movie. It was a good movie. I don't think it was a great movie. 7 out of 10. Sorry? And I don't mean about the length although it was certainly too long for my taste, but the length wasn't the problem. Full Story
The close cast of The Dark Knight Rises
Dave Hogan/Getty
Tracking for The Dark Knight Rises is very, VERY strong. Here we go. Can it challenge The Avengers? Right now they're saying at least $185 million and it just might give Marvel a go to get to $200 million even though TDKR is not 3D. But why fight? Everyone is happy. Here they are, the happy cast of The Dark Knight Rises in London last night at the premiere. Full Story

The first question:
Osho,Last night you said that a Krishna, a Christ, a Buddha, they are the climax of human possibility and growth, and then you said that Yogic and Tantric psychology put no ideal before man and that to have an ideal is a mistake according to Tantra. In this reference please explain what is the difference between an inspiration and an ideal. What is the significance of inspiration in a seeker's life? Please tell whether even being inspired by a great man is a mistake on the path of a meditator.
A Buddha, a Krishna or a Christ, they are not ideals for you; you are not to follow them. If you follow them you will miss them, and your own buddhahood will never be achieved. Buddhahood is the ideal, not Buddha. Christhood is the ideal, not Jesus. Buddhahood is different from Gautam Buddha; christhood is different from Jesus. Jesus is only one of the christs. You can become a christ, but you can never become a Jesus. You can become a buddha, but you can never become Gautam. Gautam became a buddha and you can become a buddha. Buddhahood is a quality, it is an experience! Of course, when Gautam became a buddha, Gautam had his own individuality. You have your own individuality. When you will become a buddha, these two buddhas will not be the same. The inner most experience will be the same, but the expression will be different - absolutely different. No comparison is possible. Only at the innermost core will you be the same.
Why? Because at the innermost core there is no individuality. The individual is on the periphery. The deeper you move, the more the individual dissolves. At the innermost core you are as if no one. At the innermost core you are just a deep void, a nothingness - a shunya, a zero. And because of this nothingness there is no difference, because two nothings cannot be different. But two somethings are bound to be different. Two "somethings" can never be the same and two "nothings" can never be different. When one becomes just absolutely nothing, a zero point, that is similar in a Jesus, in a Krishna, in a Buddha. When you will reach to the ultimate, you will reach to this shunya - this nothingness.

(ASBURY PARK, NEW JERSEY) With just one-week remaining for Christmas shopping, a new survey reveals that the vast majority of Americans are procrastinating. The Rasmussen Reports found that less than one-third (29%) of us have completed our Christmas shopping.
The busiest day for holiday shopping is not "black Friday". Instead, it traditionally falls on the final Saturday before Christmas. This year, December 22nd is expected to ring up the largest sales as last-minute shoppers complete their lists.

Vintage Pattern Save the Date Magnets A little on the pricey side. The thing I wasnt happy about is the fact that the magnets dont come with an insert. Like you are just supposed to put a loose magnet in the envelope? I obviously purchased cardstock separately and spent hours cutting in photo corners! My only complaint!

The library is still under heavy development with daily patches, so it might be that Debian's version is simply outdated?
Ask Leszek about that. I dont feel competent to say anything for sure here, I'm just unrealscript coder
You could be right about debian version being outdated though. I could only guess that getting required SDL version to work under debian was too much work, while ubuntu got ready for it to support steam.
I don't think Ubuntu's SDL2 got any "special treatment". Valve had to choose a distro to base thier efforts off of, and since Ubuntu is the most popular one, they chose it. Why don't you ask Valve about that?
Damn, my posts don't appear instantly, they need to go through moderation... ~~'
Not sure what the difference is, but Debian testing ships libsdl2 rc1-1: http://packages.qa.debian.org/libs/libsdl2.html (it was recently updated).
Since it's not out as stable SDL release yet, I'm not sure why would anyone target it for production purposes already. Targeting it while in development is fine of course, since it's going to be released soon enough.
UPDATE: Ubuntu package looks exactly the same to me: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?se...ywords=libsdl2 unless there is some "special treatment" there indeed. If Valve prefers Ubuntu as a target, it doesn't mean everyone should follow suit IMHO, since the claim that "Ubuntu is the most popular distro" is more of a PR, than a solid evidence that it's the most used distro in practice. And even if it is the most used in reality, its not used more than all other distros by a big margin, so singling it out doesn't look like a good option, so I disagree with Valve's approach here.

So far every steam game I've tried has run just fine on gentoo. So long s I use the steam runtime everything seems to work perfectly. As long as that continues to be true, I don't have a problem with game developers and valve targeting Ubuntu.
If anything is wrong, I hope to be something missing, then we could just wait for SDL 2.1.
So maybe that's the "special treatment" ?Code:create_symlink_for_steam() { cd ${D}/usr/$(get_libdir) ln -s libSDL2.so.2.0.0 libSDL2-2.0.so.0 }

At Eastern Mountain Sports, we know that sorting through the many different options from dozens of popular brands can be daunting. While brands and price are important factors, the first step to narrow down your choices is to determine your style of camping.
If you're looking to escape the daily stress without spending a fortune, a weekend camp out is the perfect solution. For a few hundred dollars you can get a basic, but totally reliable tent, sleeping bag, and sleeping pad plus a backpack to carry them all in. Start in your backyard to get the hang of how your gear works and how to set up your tent efficiently. From there, you're ready to test your new skills in a campground or state park. Once you decide that camping is for you, you can graduate to more sophisticated gear, with features designed for the next two styles of camping.
If the distance between your car and your campsite is more than five miles and your only means of transportation is yourself, you're going to want the lightest and most versatile gear you can find. Fast and light gear definitely costs more, but the weight you save can dramatically improve the quality of your experience. For example, at $259, our Sugar Shack 2 tent is a great choice for any type of camping trip but it weighs 5 pounds 12 ounces. The Nemo Espri 2 tent will set you back $299.95, but at 3 pounds, five ounces, the two and a half pounds you save, can be used to carry an extra day's worth of food and fuel without wearing you down. You'll also want to swap your bulky flashlight for a lightweight headlamp that will keep your hands free around camp and on the trail.
When you graduate from the occasional overnight campout to multiday outdoor adventures with your friends or family, it's time to invest in base camp gear that can really enhance your outdoor experience. Unlike a backpacking camp, a base camp is typically made in close proximity to your vehicle. Since you don't have to worry about carrying big, bulky items under your own power, you're free to choose the most spacious tents, thickest sleeping pads, and loftiest sleeping bags. You can also upgrade your base camp with camp furniture and lanterns, portable kitchen setups, hammocks, and games. Sure, some of these items can get a little pricey, but when properly cared for, they'll last for years and the money you'll save on hotel bills and room service will pay for quickly them.

By Hans M. Kristensen Three and a half years after the New START Treaty entered into force in February 2011, many would probably expect that the United States and Russia had decisively reduced their deployed strategic nuclear weapons. On the contrary, the latest aggregate treaty data shows that the two nuclear superpowers both increased their deployed nuclear forces compared with March 2014 when the previous count was made. Russia has increased its deployed weapons the […]Read More

Russia Declared In Violation Of INF Treaty: New Cruise Missile May Be Deploying
By Hans M. Kristensen The United States yesterday publicly accused Russia of violating the landmark 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty. The accusation was made in the State Department's 2014 Compliance Report, which states: "The United States has determined that the Russian Federation is in violation of its obligations under the INF Treaty not to possess, produce, or flight-test a ground-launched cruise missile (GLCM) with a range capability of 500 km to 5,500 km, or […]Read More
What Are Acceptable Nuclear Risks?
When I read Eric Schlosser's acclaimed 2013 book, Command and Control: Nuclear Weapons, the Damascus Accident, and the Illusion of Safety, I found a tantalizing revelation on pages 170-171, when it asked, "What was the 'acceptable' probability of an accidental nuclear explosion?" and then proceeded to describe a 1957 Sandia Report, "Acceptable Premature Probabilities for Nuclear Weapons," which dealt with that question. Unable to find the report online, I contacted Schlosser, who was kind enough to share it with me. […]Read More
Italy's Nuclear Anniversary: Fake Reassurance For a King's Ransom
By Hans M. Kristensen In December 1963, a shipment of U.S. nuclear bombs arrived at Ghedi Torre Air Base in northern Italy. Today, half a century later, the U.S. Air Force still deploys nuclear bombs at the base. The U.S.-Italian nuclear collaboration was celebrated at the base in January. A placard credited the nuclear "NATO mission" at Ghedi with having "protected the free nations of the world…." That might have been the case during the […]Read More
DOD Report Shows Chinese Nuclear Force Adjustments and US Nuclear Secrecy
The Pentagon's latest annual report to Congress on the Military and Security Developments Involving the People's Republic of China describes continued broad modernization and growing reach of Chinese military forces and strategy. There is little new on the nuclear weapons front in the 2014 update, however, which describes slow development of previously reported weapons programs. This includes construction of a handful of ballistic missile submarines; the first of which the DOD predicts will begin to […]Read More
Chinese Nuclear Missile Upgrade Near Dalian
By Hans M. Kristensen One of the last Chinese Second Artillery brigades with the old liquid-fuel DF-3A intermediate-range nuclear ballistic missile appears to have been upgraded to the newer DF-21 road-mobile, dual-capable, medium-range ballistic missile. A new satellite image posted on Google Earth from May 4, 2014, reveals major changes to what appears to be a launch unit site for the Dengshahe brigade northeast of Dalian by the Yellow Sea. The upgrade apparently marks the […]Read More
Nuclear Exercises Amidst Ukrainian Crisis: Time For Cooler Heads

The exercises conducted by the world's two largest nuclear-armed states come in the midst of the Ukraine crisis, as NATO and Russia appear to slide back down into a tit-for-tat posturing not seen since the Cold War. Military posturing in Russia and NATO threaten to worsen the crisis and […]Read More

Russian ICBM Force Modernization: Arms Control Please!
By Hans M. Kristensen In our Nuclear Notebook on Russian nuclear forces from March this year, Robert S. Norris and I described the significant upgrade that's underway in Russia's force of land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs). Over the next decade, all Soviet-era ICBMs will be retired and replaced with a smaller force consisting of mainly five variants of one missile: the SS-27. After more than a decade-and-a-half of introduction, the number of SS-27s now makes […]Read More

My move-in experience was extremely pleasant. In addition to being able to use their free moving truck service, I can't tell you how useful it was to have dollies (rolling hand carts) available at the facility to transport boxes from the elevator to my storage unit. It significantly reduced my trips back & forth. I can't tell you just how much I appreciate it--it really is the small things that count. Thanks!Floreena from Cumberland, RI

Random Thoughts On A Sunday Morning Updated To 3-29
Posted 05 February 2012 - 04:20 PM
Its no surprise to hear about what happened at that soccer game in Egypt or anywhere in the world. When you live in a 3rd world country, are impoverished, pissed off, drunk and watching soccer in an old broken down stadium, what do you expect to happen?
Cant wait for baseball to start up again. I hope Jorge Posada stays retired, I hope every team rejects Manny Ramirez, especially Oakland.
My version of Hell is any kind of social gathering in a public place where I am among people who insist on being normal, and conforming rather than being individuals, or among people who just want an outlet to ***** and moan about how much their life sucks to anybody who will listen.

myself i cant see anyone getting paid that much,will be another reason why teams have to raise ticket prices.I miss going to games but just cost too much for me to try and take my family.My 3 boys are starting to have families of their own and i think ive only been to 2 games with them because it just cost too much.Now with pujols and fielders signings it means it just took a turn for the worse
When I was younger I would feel sorry for myself because I didn't live in a major league city. I was envious of those people that got to see American or National league games on a regular basis. But now with those high ticket prices I am happy I live in a Triple A city where the ticket prices are very reasonable and I get to see the players before they become big names.

...I didn't win my Super Bowl pool last week but when Tom Brady's final desperation pass fell incomplete I really didn't care. As far as I was concerned, Boston lost and that made me a winner.
...Remember SeanO that used to come around here? Sean made many great Mvp stadiums for those of you who aren't familiar. Well Sean's a huge Boston fan - in fact he lives there- but he hates Brady with a passion. I think that made him the only guy in New England with a smile on his face last Sunday night.
...And it didn't take long for Brazilian model Gisele Bundchen to become a card carrying New Englander, didn't it? You know, blaming other people when you lose and pointing fingers at others. Becoming a sore loser in that area of the country must be as easy as breathing.
...I don't miss football one bit. Although that would probably be different had the Raiders done something these past ten years.
...Watching Yankee games this year is going to be so much better now that Kim Jones has decided to leave the YES Network. In all her years there she has never asked any player an interesting question. In fact, she hasn't been close.
So Derek, how did it feel to get the game winning RBI?
It felt great Kim. Just taking it day by day.
That's great! Back to you Michael.
...Dennis Oil Can Boyd came out in an interview last week to let everyone know that most of the time he was on the mound during his playing career he was on cocaine. Boyd last played in the majors in 1991 and why anyone would give a damn right now what he did would be the first thing you'd wonder but the real reason why he's putting himself back in the news is that he's coming out with a book later on this year. The only people that would want to read about a career 78-77 pitcher are his family and friends and the people he gives free copies to.
...Kevin Youkilis is going to be marrying Tom Brady's sister? I never knew his sister was blind.
...Just watch. Someone on the Yankees is now going to get married just so the Yankees can get equal press time.
...When I come across games that I own like The Pandora Directive and Wacky Wheels -two games I am pretty sure a lot of you have never heard of by the way- it made me realize I held on to this stuff longer than I should have.
...A Tennessee couple was murdered last week all because they de-friended someone on Facebook. For some reason the father of the girl that was de-friended (obviously a capital offense among rednecks with an internet connection) engaged the help of someone and shot the couple to death. This makes people who have never had a Facebook account want to run right out and sign up immediately.
...Hey,don't forget Valentine's day which is only two days away now. To me this is the worst day on the calendar for the entire year. This is when Hallmark and the jewelry stores pressure you into buying a gift for your special someone. Show her you care. That's the catchphrase you'll hear on TV. And all this time I showed her I did care when I got her Christmas gifts seven weeks ago and birthday gifts five weeks ago. Silly me.
...Reading about the death of Whitney Houston immediately brought me back to the late 1980's when I first heard of her. She had a fantastic voice. It was a voice that made you stop what you were doing and listen. Her beauty also matched the quality of her voice. Her drug struggles over the years were well documented and discussed by the media. Right now no one knows how she died but to me that's beside the point. R.I.P. Whitney.

...Sure is nice seeing baseball back, isn't it? I can't wait to see who emerges as the next new phenom when the games get going next month.
...How the hell did Oakland sign Cuban outfielder Yoenis Cespedes? The impression that team seems to give out is that they don't have two nickels to rub together.
...Hey, at least the Yankees got rid of A.J. Burnett. As the great Branch Rickey used to say, that's addition by subtraction. Things got so bad last year that I refused to watch Yankee games when Burnett was the starting pitcher. First Posada gone and now this human pinball machine. Beautiful!
...Look, I know I am a card carrying member of the Diehard Yankee club, but there is still no way I am going to be dishing out money for Official his and hers Yankee fragrances. A 1.7 ounce bottle of this stuff is going to set you back $49. My wife happens to have some perfume that's in that size and the bottle is so small that you can hide it behind a Dixie cup. The next size up is a 3.4 ounce bottle which will only soak 63 dollars out of you. I'm sure this product line will sell well in Boston.
...Got my taxes done yesterday. Another headache out of the way.
...I got to get the latest Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue mainly because Natalie Gulbis will be in it posing in body paint. Oh yeah, and for the articles too.
...Whoever the person was who did the painting on her must have had a real steady hand because If it were me, my hands would have been shaking.
...I thought it was a nice thing that the New Jersey governor did for Whitney Houston on Saturday. He ordered the flags to be lowered to half staff for her despite the protests of people who, pointing at her struggles with substance abuse, argued that she didn't deserve this honor.
...I wonder what NFL team will be deluded enough to pick up Randy Moss just because he's decided to play again?
...After hearing about the death of Gary Carter it made me realize once again how secondary the world of sports really is. In my case I was not a fan of the teams that Carter played for, especially when he played for the Mets. Therefore I didn't root for him. That being said, the sense of loss I felt when I heard that he died last Thursday made me stop what I was doing to say a prayer for him and his family. It would have made me very happy to find out that he had beat this brain cancer that eventually ended up claiming him. The way he played the game and his attitude towards it should be an example to all players who are currently playing and ones in the future.

Y4L, Joanne Gair is the amazing body paint expert. The two other women donning body paint as a matter of trivia are UC-Berkeley alumnus.
want to get this off my chest: I'm a little annoyed at this Jeremy Lin story. It's a great story and I'm happy for his opportunity. But it just means that racism has permeates American sports over Asian Americans. With media attention, it appears that there has been almost no athletes good enough to have been given any opportunities whatsoever in professional sports. Tiger Woods was a pioneer. But really, since becoming Pro over 15 years ago, has much changed? Lin has only started a handful of games. It seems like either Jeremy Linn is the Jim Thorpe of Asian athletes or perhaps Asian Americans are profiled as not being great athletes in America. And the way he blown up so fast, I feel like he's destined to fail. But then I look at entertainment. As for Asian Americans, I can't even think of 15 celebrities off the top of my head. Most are typecasted or not even American like Jackie Chan. If you pay attention to commericals on TV, you got an Asian American being punked trying to rent a car in Chase commericial, being punked in a Halls cough drop commerical, being an idiot trying to eat from somebody elses' cheerios that are exactly the same, or being a party pooper for guys trying to drive to Vegas. There's Lucy Lu, *John* Cho and Jeremy Lin today. Well, that's all I got to say. I could go on about this but it's pointless. Racism doesn't change over night and I'm not gonna cry me a river about it. But I won't ignore it still exists today after the Chinese Exclusion Act, Mysogyny laws, Gentleman's Agreement, Japanese landowner laws, National Origins Acts and Executive Order 9066. The law of the past has made the perception what it is today. I love American and would die for my country because it's still a great country despite the histories of racism not limited to Asian-Americans. I feel that Latino American and African American athletes face racism but still get more opportunies over Asian Americans where it's not even close to same number of opportunities. I find it hard to believe that it's purely only biological. It took so long for civil rights to be acknowledged in the middle towards the end of the twentieth century. But equality it still truly is a work in progress even in a time where cars drive themselves.

You said a lot Veesmack and I can tell just by your words here that you feel strongly about this. I think the best thing that the media and everyone else can do for Jeremy Lin is to look at him as simply a basketball player and not a basketball player who happens to be Asian. Lin's just starting out. He shouldn't be pressured to represent his entire race when he takes the court.
Are Asian American athletes good enough to play major sports? I got a one word answer for that. Yes. I don't believe that they are excluded from participating in sports when they are young. If an American of Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese, etc decent has an interest in being a point guard, a running back or a right fielder he has much of an opportunity as anyone else. Why aren't there more? I have no idea. Why do all the Asian major league players come from their home country and not here? Beats me. But I don't believe it has anything to do with being purposely excluded.
But then I look at entertainment. As for Asian Americans, I can't even think of 15 celebrities off the top of my head. Most are typecasted or not even American like Jackie Chan. If you pay attention to commericals on TV, you got an Asian American being punked trying to rent a car in Chase commericial, being punked in a Halls cough drop commerical, being an idiot trying to eat from somebody elses' cheerios that are exactly the same, or being a party pooper for guys trying to drive to Vegas. There's Lucy Lu, *John* Cho and Jeremy Lin today.
I can't think of five Asian American celebrities. And I'm not trying to be funny here. I'm just saying that I don't pay attention to what race or religion someone is. I got better things to do. I'll give you an example. You know the actor James Caan? He was in the Godfather along with many other movies? Just a few weeks ago I found out he was Jewish. All these years I never thought about what he was, if he was Polish or German or Catholic or Baptist. He was just James Caan to me.
And the examples you just gave here are stereotypes. Stereotypes are baggage that is attached to every race whether they are deserved or not. I'm Sicilian. Every time I see a Sicilian on TV or in a movie they got a gun in their hand and they're the bad guys. Whatever.
One final thing about stereotypes. You won't change them. They were around before you were born and they'll be here after you are gone.

...Any team that lets a guy like Hideki Matsui go and signs Manny Ramirez is asking for trouble.
...During Oakland's first fifty games is when you'll see Ramirez help out the Athletics the most and that's because he'll still be suspended.
...Checked out some spring training photos this week from the camps in Florida and Arizona. Here's my favorite one so far. It's a picture of A.J. Burnett. What makes it so good is that he's wearing a Pirate uniform instead of a Yankee one.
Here's Burnett as he is about to throw his first wild pitch of the spring.
...One thing I hoped would happen in the off season for the Yankees was for them to get younger. Signing Raul Ibanez (age 39) and re-signing Andruw Jones (who will be 35 in April) and Eric Chavez (34, and who also missed 2 1/2 months last year) is not exactly what I thought they'd do. I just hope it doesn't end up hurting them.
...Elizabeth Smart got married last week in Hawaii. Yeah, yeah I know. You don't give a *&#$ either.
...Besides being a great ballplayer and a multimillionaire, now Evan Longoria is dating Playboy model Jaime Edmondson. Some guys get all the luck.
...If anyone ever accuses any of you that you spend too much time on the internet you can tell them this story. I was watching the local news the other day and they had a piece on a guy who was fired from his job because he was playing World of Warcraft for over 100 hours a week. Can you imagine that? That's over 14 hours a day. After watching some videos of this game on Youtube I didn't understand why this game is so popular. I couldn't play this game for 14 minutes let alone 14 hours.
...I dug up an old game of mine for my Windows XP laptop called The Typing of the Dead. And while I'm not playing it for 14 hours a day, it's a hell of a lot of fun to play. When I'm done my fingers hurt because I'm typing so fast. I'd love to see a 2012 version of this.
...It didn't take long for the Angels to find out what a handful Albert Pujols is going to be. Had the Angels never put up billboards to welcome him to Southern California he'd have pouted about that.
...I don't care if Ryan Braun is not going to be serving his fifty game suspension for his postive test for PED's. I'm still skeptical about it. I honestly believe MLB let him get away with this only because he was the NL MVP last year and if the reigning MVP were to be suspended it would have made Bum Selig and his boys look bad. And despite if Braun is suspended or not he's still guilty in the eyes of millions of fans.
...I think the guy who is stuck with the job with putting rubber bands over the claws of lobsters must have a pretty tough job.
...Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine has banned alcohol from the Boston clubhouse effective immediately. Since he didn't consult with any of his high priced prima donnas, you can expect some complaints about it to be leaked to the press. The Red Sox players should be grateful that he didn't ban take out food also.
...Have you heard about that college football player from Virginia who is currently on an eight day hunger strike? Somehow I can't see Prince Fielder doing something like this.

Ok, liked your post, Y4L, except for the part about Burnett in the Pirate uniform. I still hate that move. I hope I am wrong, but I think the guy is a mental case and will not help the Bucco's out. I would rather have seen them resign Maholm then to trade for this whipped cream thrower who is a waste of roster space.
Who can blame you for hating this move? If I were you I wouldn't be happy about it either. I couldn't stand Burnett so much last year that I wouldn't watch any of the Yankee games that he started because I couldn't take watching him any longer.

Roasted Tomato and Gorgonzola Sauce
Late summer and early fall is such a great time of the year! The farmers markets are just jam packed with tons of good things and some of the ones that I like the most are the perfectly ripe field tomatoes and the red peppers. One of my favorite ways to enjoy the tomatoes is to roast them and use them in various things like pasta sauces. My favorite way to enjoy red peppers is also to roast them as it bring out their amazing flavour and I tend to go through a lot of them. In fact I commonly get a bunch of both the tomatoes and the red peppers that I roast and then freeze them for the use throughout the winter.
Not to completely jump topics here but bear with me; I also really enjoy creamy gorgonzola sauces. You can see where this is going now right? I recently came across the brilliant idea of combing them all into one amazing sounding roasted tomato and red pepper sauce with blue cheese on Kayotic Kitchen and I just had to try it. Well the original recipe called for magor which is a combination of mascarpone cheese and gorgonzola but I was unable to find the magor so I just used equal parts of both the mascarpone and the gorgonzola. The first thing that always comes to mind when trying out new sauces it to use them in a simple pasta where they are the star of the show. It seems that I always have some extra zucchini on hand these days so I decided to add some to the pasta to fill it out a bit. The roasted tomato and red pepper gorgonzola sauce so good!! It was just packed full of the flavours of the roasted tomatoes and red peppers and the cheeses made the sauce so nice and creamy. The gorgonzola really worked well in the sauce adding a really nice undertone of the tangy cheese without overpowering the rest of the flavours. What a great way to enjoy the bounty of these dwindling days of summer!
Roasted Tomato and Gorgonzola Sauce(makes 4+ servings)
Printable Recipe
1 roasted red pepper
8 plum tomatoes (halved)
4 cloves garlic
1 small onion (quartered)
1 tablespoon olive oil
oregano to taste
salt and pepper to taste
4 ounces of gorgonzola dolce (or other blue cheese)
4 ounces of mascarpone
1. Toss the tomatoes, garlic and onion in the oil, oregano, salt and pepper to coat.
2. Spread the veggies out in a single layer in a baking dish.
3. Bake in a preheated 400F over until nice and roasted, about 45-60 minutes.
4. Squeeze the garlic from there skins and puree everything.
5. Mix in the cheese and heat on the stove until the cheese has melted into the sauce.

That's why you don't like voodoo?
Good news, but doesn't mean he doesn't have a high ankle sprain. Could be quite a while before we see him again.
He is wearing a boot.
Knowing the Hornets philosophy, they will take their time bringing him back. I put him at 10% to play on opening night.
Marc Stein @ESPNSteinLine
Hornets coach Monty Williams says Austin Rivers to get MRI on ankle TUES but adds that sprain, at first glance, not as bad as landing looked
Jim Eichenhofer @Jim_Eichenhofer
Monty said Austin Rivers (ankle) will get MRI tomorrow "to make sure he's OK.He was walking around but we're still not sure yet (of status)"
With purple and pinstripes from days gone by, I trumpet Hugo's name to the NOLA sky. When rebranders and posers abuse their might, beware my power, TEAL LANTERN'S LIGHT!
Forever hating the nickname, the logos, and the colors. Still backing the team I've loved since 1994.
Stolen name. Stolen colors. Stolen identity. Still the same old worthless Slobcats. Suck sludge, Charlotte.
wow , it is noticible we need more offense spark plugs on this team....is it possible to pickup any of the players that are being cut by the others teams.....i.e the lakers let Chris-Douglas Roberts go at SF ...he is known for his offense/// 50% on defense
Have you guys heard of Wafers? He has a little age on him but he can ball, wish we could send a trade for him.

http://www.nola.com/hornets/index.ss..._river_defaultDallas – Judging from video replays of the event, the fact that New Orleans Hornets rookie shooting guard Austin Rivers walked out of American Airlines Center here Monday night without the aid of crutches or wheelchair was nothing short of miraculous. Rivers had his right foot and ankle immobilized by a heavy plastic walking boot after landing awkwardly and spraining the ankle while driving for a layup with 3:22 remaining in the second quarter of what would eventually become a lopsided 87-74 exhibition loss to the Dallas Mavericks.
It was the same ankle from which bone chips were removed in mid-summer after Rivers experienced pain while playing for the Hornets' Las Vegas Summer League team.
Yet as he faced a phalanx of inquisitors post-game on Monday night, Rivers vowed to be ready for the Hornets' regular-season opener on Oct. 31 in New Orleans Arena against the San Antonio Spurs.
"It looks like it's a right ankle sprain and we're just going to go from there and keep trying to get better," Rivers said. "I just kind of landed on my foot; my body landed on my own foot. It kind of felt funny. You learn. I went in there looking for contact and a call instead of just trying to make the shot. Usually when you look for contact you don't get the call. You learn from your mistakes and keep moving forward.
This is good to hear.You learn. I went in there looking for contact and a call instead of just trying to make the shot. Usually when you look for contact you don't get the call. You learn from your mistakes and keep moving forward.

Wish him a speedy recovery. Rivers, more than Davis or Miller needs to get his reps.
My Anthony Davis website: http://thebrow.uphero.com/
I was thinking about Johnny Flynn, too. Not sure why he hasn't been able to stick with a team, but he could be a help at the PG spot here.
Rivers said that he feels if it was game 7 of a playoff series he could play. That has to be somewhat promising huh?
I wouldn't take that comment too literally. It shows that he would go back in injured. But unless he actually get to test that ankle, I'd only take it with a grain of salt.
