David Crosby Hoping For One Last CSNY Tour Before He Dies
Tuesday, June 11, 2013
David Crosby says that one of his final wishes would be to tour with Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young one more time. Crosby, who along with Graham Nash and Stephen Stills, will kick off a European tour later this month, admits that he's cheated death more times than most humans times combined, and realizes his time on Earth is limited, telling The Wall Street Journal, "Look, I have maybe 10 more years, if I'm lucky. I have hepatitis C, diabetes and heart disease. I'm managing them. I'm going to the gym three days a week, I'm feeling strong and I can still make audiences feel great. My dream? One more tour with Crosby, Stills, and Nash and my friend Neil (Young). From there, I'd be fine. I'd be able to sail. I'd live. And I'd be happy."
David Crosby says that he still feels blessed and privileged to have been able to be a songwriter and recording artist for nearly 50 years: "I'm not a wise man, I'm not a studied man, I'm not really an educated man. For me to glimpse a piece of truth that gleamingly clear is a big event in my life and to be able to transmit it, it's a big deal. And I felt that if we got any of that level on a record that I was functioning as I was born to do. This is the job I was born to do."
CSNY last toured together in 2007.
Crosby, Stills, & Nash will next perform on June 20th in Dresden, Germany.

Apolo Anton Ohno, born May 22, 1982 is a short-track speed skater whose eight Winter Olympic medals have earned him the distinction of being the most decorated American Winter Olympian in history.
Although Ohno didn't begin his short track career until 1995, it took him less than two years to become the best short-track skater in the United States. At 14, after training under Pat Wetland in Lake Placid for just six months, Ohno claimed his first overall title at the U.S. Championships. Ohno's success made him a likely candidate to make the 1998 U.S. Olympic Team, but the American struggled with his fitness throughout the 1997-98 seasons and finished 16th at the Olympic Trials.
Ohno committed himself to making the 2002 Olympic squad, and by the 2000-01 seasons he was one of the world's best skaters. Since making the 2002, 2006 and 2010 Olympic Team, Ohno has taken home a total of eight Olympic medals. The Seattle native also won the World Cup title in the 500m, 1000m, and 1500m en route to winning the overall crown, making him the first American to win a World Cup title at any distance.
"I look back at my junior high school days and I think about all the opportunities I had to do something negative," says Ohno. "The position I'm in now with The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility and Ask, Listen, Learn put me in a place where I can make a difference today." We invite you to learn more about Apolo and his work.

You want to know how many drinks I had last night? I mean, I have no idea. They told me about all this wild stuff I did. But I don't remember any of it. I guess it must have been really wild.
An unfortunate part of drinking behavior is that as they move through adolescence and young adulthood, the amount of heavy drinking – often binge drinking - becomes more common among those who drink.
Binge drinking is really bad. You do want to talk to your kids about it. Let them know that:
Binge drinking has all of the potential problems that go with drinking, but dramatically more so. With binge drinking they significantly put themselves at risk for:
Bodily harm
- Brain damage even death from alcohol poisoning
- Serious injury even death from car accidents
Engaging in behavior that later on they will really regret
- Wrecking a college career
- Serious legal trouble
- Lasting health effects
Let them know that most people their age are not binge drinking. In fact, 83% of 12-20 year olds are not binge drinking and among college students 68% are not.
If they're going away to school:
- Talk to them before they go.
- Help them to understand ways that they can help themselves and their friends to be safe while in school..
- Once they've left, continue to communicate with them frequently. Stay involved and be supportive about the positive aspects of college life..

Donnie Wahlberg Gossip
Donnie Wahlberg gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
A Very Wahlberg Wedding
Dr. Jenny "You Can't Fire Me I Quit!" McCarthy recently did an interview with Howard Stern, and say what you will about Howard, he has no shame when he interviews a D-list celebrity. (Source) When the topic of her upcoming wedding to Donnie Wahlberg comes up, he grills her about Mark Wahlberg and brings up the rumour that Mark isn't a fan of the relationship. Full Story
Has anyone seen my Tamagotchi?
Floral mini dresses, Winona Ryder, and The Rachel haircut – the 90s were a cultural mixed bag that brought us some great things (Clueless, Reality Bites) and some terrible things (body glitter, 8-ball jackets). But nostalgia is a powerful emotion, hence Donnie Wahlberg and Jenny McCarthy's new relationship getting headlines (before everything went to hell over the weekend). Full Story
Sit DOWN Selena Gomez
Selena Gomez presented at the Grammy Awards the other night with Donnie Wahlberg. During their intro, like a big brother, Donnie looked over at Selena teasingly when he said Justin Bieber's name. Because she's a 5 year old and doesn't know about not reacting, she pulled a teen move and huffed at the suggestion – like, AS IF she's only there because she's been holding hands with Justin Bieber. Full Story
When does a move get old?
Went to studio to shoot eTalk this morning but forgot keys and Jacek went to get his precious Bradley Cooper hair cut so am well behind and catching up - sorry! For now, enjoy photos from the NKOTB show in Virginia this weekend. It's almost the one year anniversary of my interview with them. Remember Jen? My producer Jen, who is getting married in September, is an NKOTB fan for life. Full Story
Am all for the New Kids, totally. But have to say, these pictures are a little embarrassing. Or maybe it's just me. Apparently doing the boat thing is where it's at these days. John Mayer, right? This weekend NKOTB launched their cruise in Miami, bringing back 80s cheese for photographers. Full Story
Single on tour
Exactly a month to go before NKOTB kicks off the tour in Toronto and for Donnie Wahlberg at least, the timing is perfect. He's single. Donnie's wife Kim Fey has filed for divorce and sole custody of their 2 children and spousal support too, which is another reason why the tour has been fortuitously scheduled. Full Story

Hey Hamish,
Thanks for all the hard work!!
And for me, I want to thank you especially for the great input on the Wiki articles and the edit suggestions... it's that what lifts an article level.
See ya
Hey Hamish,
Thanks for all the hard work!!
And for me, I want to thank you especially for the great input on the Wiki articles and the edit suggestions... it's that what lifts an article level.
See ya
What everyone else said
...and you did leave enormous shoes to fill! In the end of the day the world is surprisingly small so I hope to have a chance to run into you again - at least virtually. And I do believe that you still owe me a beer...
Hamish, you do indeed leave enormous shoes to fill! In the short time I've been here, I can see that you've done a fantastic job with this community and I'm very sorry to see you go. Thank you for everything you've done helping me ramp up. I wish you luck in whatever you encounter next. The next community you work with will be very lucky to have you.
I am astonished ... I hope it was a decision taken by you. Otherwise, I can not see any reason for such lack of vision.
Anyway, thanks for all this great time under your coordination after the "Ron age". People understimate how hard work is to build and to keep a community. Unfortunately, the recent actions are not contributing to keep what we learned to know as "Forum Nokia". A pity.
I am really disappointed for not having the opportunity to meet you in person during your Nokia phase. I hope to accomplish this task after it !
See you my friend !
Marcelo Barros
Thanks everyone for your kind words. I am really sad to be going too, but as I said here, I do think I'm leaving you in competent and caring hands.
I agree with the general sentiments that it is a small world, and I have no doubt I'll be running into many of you again in the coming years. Certainly hope so Tomi, or I'll be drinking that beer for you!
I wish you the very besy in your future position/job !
You did a great job here !
Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support. All such questions should be posted on public forums, where I and others can see and answer them.
What a sad news :-(
I'll really miss you here,
all the best
I was hoping to not see you leave.. but I guess there are better things in store for you somewhere.
The constant tempo you provide to the community is amazing. Many people in the community have learnt and grown under your guidance. From what I see, the community has grown in quality because of you. Being a mentor, friend and managing so many active contributors at the same time would have required really hard work and dedication. You will be certainly missed.
Working with you closely on the Wiki and the book has been a pleasure and I hope we can somehow continue collaborating in the future as well! Ah, and I still hope to meet you in person someday
Pankaj Nathani
Thanks Pankaj! I hope we'll meet "in the flesh" sometime too. It really is a "small world", so I won't be surprised! Good luck for you too going forward.
Hamish, It is hard to see you go. It has been a long line of outstanding community leaders and I'm glad you carried on once I left. Best wishes for you and Nokia Developers once you leave.
Hello Ron, it is good to see you dropping by
Hamish unfortunately really left as admin a month ago, but sometimes he is still here as WP developer in the WP boards.

March - April 2012 Fantasy BotM: Among Others by Jo Walton
A recent publication, this.
Here's what Rob thought of it when he reviewed it in 2011:
Some novels are magical in their depiction of the mundane, ordinary life. When such novels add a sprinkling of magic and personal, then it is possible for said novel to transcend labels and simply be a wonderful and moving fictional account that touches upon the heartstrings of reality. In Jo Waltons admittedly semi-autobiographical novel, Among Others, we meet a young girl named Morwenna Phelps who very much feels she is an outsider wherever she goes, especially after the recent death of her twin sister. This is can be consider a coming of age novel and despite the separation of an ocean, gender, and age, Mor is one of the most empathetic and identifiable protagonists Ive come across in a long while. Or rather, what happens after one comes of age and has to pick up the pieces of a devastating loss.
A novel like this is very difficult to sum up without giving away too many spoilers or revealing the joy of discovery Mor experiences. Essentially, Among Others is epistolary novel told through Mors diary. Though I havent read too many novels structured in this manner, I wonder if they all hold the same addictive, powerful and voyeuristic appeal as does Waltons novel. What made this novel work so well for me, and many readers of SF, is Mors unbridled love of the genre and perhaps more importantly, how it essentially saved her and allowed her to move on from the tragedy she experienced into the next stage of her life. The novel can be seen as a testament to not only the power of story and the written word, but also the power of community so strongly associated with SF. In fact, as I was reading the novel I very much wanted to visit some of the books Mor read. I made a journey to the local used bookshop to pick up some older SF contemporary with many of the novels Mor read, as well as Waltons debut novel The Kings Peace.
One element I mulled over while reading the novel, and now upon reflection is how reliable a narrator Mor truly is. We only have her words and impressions on which to judge other characters and the situations, so the truth of her sister and the remainder of her family, most importantly her mother, can only be trusted. That having been said, the truth of the magic and faeries Mor sees, meets, and knows is honest and plausible. Neil Gaiman appropriated a G.K. Chesterton quote for Coraline, his modern young adult classic Fairy tales are more than true not because they tell us dragons exist, but because they tell us dragons can be beaten. For Waltons tale, I would say Mors tale is true because the Faeries and Mors magic tells us we can overcome the greatest challenges of our lives.
Among Others is a fantasy novel that doubles as a love letter to the Golden Age of SF that age when we discover the power and our passion for the genre. This should be required reading for all fans of the genre.

"If you love books enough, books will love you back"
I quite enjoyed this book. It's a coming of age story, but even more importantly for those on this forum, it's the coming of age story of a voracious book worm, a science fiction fan. Mor is more than a fan though - so how much of how she sees the world is through the lens of the books she has read. What she sees and interprets of the world around her is in relation to, and influenced by, what she has read.
The grounding from which this view is based though, is her Welsh heritage and the connection to the fairies of that landscape. There is an excellent passage early on in the book which ties together these major influences in Mor's life:
"... it was the landscape that formed us, that made us who we were as we grew in it, that affected everything. We thought we were living in a fantasy landscape when we were actually living in a science fictional one. In ignorance, we played our way through what the giants and elves had left us, taking the fairies' posession for ownership. I named the dramroads after places in The Lord of the Rings when I should have recognised that they were from The Chrysalids."
It's a great passage amongst many others in the book. "If she wore a burberry and a silk scarf it would look like a disguise, a cloth dragged over an altar where something had been sacrificed" is another favourite.
Walton also does a terrific job of showing an aspect of SF fandom in being an outsider to most people, but strongly regarded within the community. This, when tied to a typical feeling of teen isolation, makes for another point of identification for genre fans. "I don't think I'm like other people. I mean on some deep fundamental level ... It's not just being outside while they're all inside. I used to be inside. I think there's a way I stand aside and look backwards at things when they're happening which isn't normal"
Another thing I enjoyed were the funny moments in the book produced both in our knowledge of the books she reads (On Tiptree, "This one has an introduction by Le Guin, so she must like him too!"), and in the voice of Mor herself ("I don't know what I think about Jesus, but I know what I think about Aslan." and "They all looked awful, being of the category of books about teenagers with problems - drugs, or abusive parents, or boyfriends who push for sex, or living in Ireland.")
WFA winner Tooth and Claw is the only other Walton I've read prior to this - I can't say I was a big fan, and thought there were some much more deserving winners that year (three excellent novels, Veniss Underground, The Light Ages and The Etched City were also on the short list). This book, to me at least, is miles better. I don't think it's quite in the same league as Joyce's The Facts of Life, but it gets very close.
Rob and I are in agreement on the quality of this one.

I recall Mor's voice being so strong, one of the stronger protagonist's voices I've encountered. I suspect there's more of Jo in her than most authors put in their characters.
I would be SHOCKED if this didn't win a couple of awards. After all, books about books - when done well - are big with the awards.

liked this a lot:
Bibliotropic. Like sunflowers are heliotropic, they naturally turn towards the sun. We naturally turn towards the bookshop.
Here is probably an explanation of why I love this story so much. It feels written especially for me. I recognize myself as a member of this group that is unable to pass a bookshop without entering and browsing the shelves. This resonance phenomenon to a particular text happened to me with another book recently : Ready Player One by Ernest Cline, and it was described by a reviewer as "nostalgia-porn" - getting high on shared experiences between the writer and the reader, a recognition of feelings and attitudes, in this case being 15 in the year 1979. I am born in 1964 and half of a pair of twins, so I was the same age as Morvenna in the book, and I remember clearly how anxious I was about not having enough easily available books for reading. I had membership cards at all three libraries in my hometown, plus the underground exchange ring in the classroom, when we passed popular books from hand to hand until they came apart of the seams.
So I was already predisposed to enjoy the book, and the "Dear Diary" format added a layer of intimacy and implied honesty in the narration beyond the recognition of the books I've read and rediscovered mentioned here. Morwenna is an opinionated young lady when it comes to literature, and this book can be decoded as a longish essay on the state of speculative fiction at the end of the 70's. Her courage, intelligence and wit make for an easy read, and I quickly started to root for her - in finding a "karass" , in overcoming physical disability, in recovering her scattered family, and in defying the adversity of "Others" - basically the alien English upper class education system. A recurring theme throughout the book, is the girl's reliance on literature to help her get over troubled waters:
I have books, new books, and I can bear anything as long as there are books.
I had a few issues with the story, basically a couple of unconvincing scenes (earpiercing?) and the lack of actual plot. The magical crisis in Morwenna's life is either alluded to in events before the narrative started or dismissed rather abruptly in a couple of pages by the end. But I found the question of magic in a contemporary setting and the whole ambiguity about the nature of magic well rendered here. There is also the possibility that it is all happening inside the mind of a girl with a rampant imagination, retreating inside her safe zone of childhood myths after a devastating trauma. Well done as far as I'm concerned:
- I always wanted the world to have magic in it.
- I'd prefer spaceships. Or if there has to be magic, then less confusing magic, magic with easy rules, like in books.
Another point of interest for me was the description of the twins childhood in Wales - freeroaming in the landscape, reenacting favorite stories and getting in touch with the natural world :
With the kiss of the sun for pardon and the song of the birds for mirth, one is nearer God's heart in a garden than anywhere else on Earth.
I have read recently three other books that I would recommend to fans of this type of story, featuring young adults growing up in a magical environment : Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon, The Tooth Fairy by Graham Joyce and Tamsyn by Peter S Beagle.
Now that I finished Among Others, my first impulse is to pick it up and re-read it, this time with pen and paper prepared for listing all the authors and books mentioned in Morwenna's diary, and see what I read and what I still need to track down. I also hope Jo Walton will write a sequel.
I am also left with a feeling of envy, of wishing I had this ability to express myself so enthusiastically about the books I love and to convince others of the joy of reading :
There are some awful things in the world, it's true, but there are also some great books. When I grow up I would like to write something that someone could read sitting on a bench on a day that isn't all that warm and they could sit reading it and totally forget where they were or what time it was so that they were more inside the book than inside their own head.

I enjoyed most of this book, although it was admittedly rather rambling and slow-moving. HOWEVER, IMHO Walton blew it when she had the boy (sorry, I'm terrible with names and I've already forgotten his) see the fairies and therefore made all the magic "real".
Up until that point, I was really intrigued with the uncertainty over whether the fairies and magic were real, or were just products of Mor's overactive imagination. The sorts of "magic" she did were exactly the sorts of things bright kids would dream up on their own -- placing rocks on a windowsill, gathering leaves, and so on -- and the reader never could really tell whether things were happening as Mor was recounting them, or whether that was her imaginative spin on the story. Was her mom really an evil witch, or was she just a crazy lady that Mor had to try to understand in her own way? Were the aunts really trying to destroy her magic by getting her ears pierced, or was Mor just frightened? And so on. But once the boy also saw the fairies and experienced the magic, the jig was up -- it all had to be real, since Mor was no longer the only one seeing it. And that really disappointed me.
That's similar to the Covenant series. I was really disappointed when Donaldson started writing sections from other POVs, because that meant the Land was definitely real and not just a product of Covenant's imagination. I love that uncertainty, and I think both authors destroyed something valuable in their stories when they let that uncertainty go by the wayside.
My two cents!

I just finished this one up last night. I liked it overall, even if I hadn't read 99% of the old SF novels that were an integral part of the narrative. It would have been nice to feel like I was "in" on that aspect of the novel.
A couple things did bug me though. The "real" magic like Contrarius mentioned was a bit of a let down.
Also, like Algernoninc mentioned, the showdown with her mum came across as weird, and didn't seem to fit with the story.
The thing that bugged me most is that Mor's dad, Daniel tried to sexually assault her, and I felt like that got glossed over, and easily forgotten, to the point that by the end, Mor has essentially built a new family for herself, and Daniel was a huge part of that. That whole bit just didn't sit right with me.
On a positive note, I loved the first-person dear diary style of story telling. This was my first Jo Walton read, and I'm very impressed.

With regards to the magic, I also held the view, particularly because of the "magic system" (it seems strange using that term with a book like this), that it could have been a flight of fancy. The eventual sharing of this didn't make me doubt the magic, it made me doubt the narrator so I don't think I was as disappointed as others here - for me it raised another question rather than shut a door.

The main question which keeps bugging me weeks after finishing the book:
Did she ever read Donaldson, and what did she think?

I thought this was one of the more intriguing parts of the book, particularly considering this tale is obviously somewhat auto-biographical. Mor trying to briefly gloss over it, and even justify with regards to some of Heinlein's views shows the awkwardness and discomfort of a truly bothersome event.

I just saw a blog entry by Jo Walton on Goodreads in which she talks about how Mor is very much a character than wouldn't go away from the mind of the author, and how her life is mapped out in detail for the years to come. I would love to find out what happens to her. It's also interesting to note that Walton is aware of the weaknesses in the plot and the difficulty of coming up with a story beyond the "dear diary" confessional. Also of note is the importance of the environment in the narrative : how the places we live in shape us and fire up the imagination.

Has anyone else been perusing the used bookstore shelves in search of some the old sf/f books Mor read?
I just picked up The Lathe of Heaven
and a bunch of Zelazny's Amber books.
This book made me realize how criminally under-read I am in terms of stuff from the 60's, 70's and early 80's.

When they were originally constructed a century or more ago to house animals, feed and equipment, their builders could never have imagined that their barns would one day draw visitors from throughout the United States and the world.
The diversity in construction, shape and condition alone make it worthwhile slowing down to look them over. There are some, such as the round barns in Waitsfield and Elmore that demand your attention.
When you're in Vermont, the best routes for barn viewing are Routes 22A and 30 on the western side of the state; Routes 12 and 14 in central Vermont as well as any route through Franklin County.
Plan to spend some time on your next visit getting to know Vermont -- and our barns -- a little better. You'll come away with a whole new appreciation for these utilitarian structures that represent Vermont's past and present.

Postfix - Installation
The base package for all the mail articles will be postfix. There are alternatives to postfix, each with advantages and disadvantages and, without going into the differences, we have chosen Postfix due its relative ease of configuration. Those seeking an email solution that does not require configuring a mail server should look at our Mailgun service. More information can be found on the Mailgun website.
With all that out of the way, let's go ahead and install Postfix! Remember, we assume that you're using Ubuntu Hardy, set it up using our instructions, and have gone through the basic setup instructions here and here.
Installation is very easy. We'll be using aptitude to install the software itself.
sudo aptitude install postfix telnet mailutils
Note that we also install telnet and mailx as they contain several tools we'll use to test and configure postfix.
During the installation you will be asked the general type of mail configuration:
Choose the 'Internet Site' option.
You will then need to enter your main domain name (this should match the hostname we set in the previous article).
At this stage, you can send emails from your application.
The preparation we did in the previous article and the settings shown above during the postfix installation mean that the very basics are already done.
Quick Test
Although we will look in more detail at sending mail in the next article, let's conduct a quick test to see if postfix is actually sending mail.
You will need to send an email to a working email address using the 'mail' command:
mail email@example.com
Replace the email address with one of your choosing (remember this must be a working email address).
The output asks for the subject of the email. Once done, press enter/return.
Next enter the subject of the email. Once done, press enter/return and then a single period (.) - the period lets mail know the body is finished. If that doesn't actually end the message, type "control-D" instead (hold down control and press the D key at the same time).
Finally press enter/return again to send the email (you may need to do this twice so you skip the 'CC:' entry.
The output on my machine looks something like this:
mail email@example.com Subject: test email from democloud.com test body of the email. . Cc:
No confirmation is given that the email has been sent (the logs will show the details) but check the receiving email address and voila! a nice, fresh email with the subject 'test email from democloud.com'.
For many people, that is all you need to send mail from your application - especially if the only emails are notifications to the site administrator.
However, the next article will look in more detail at the settings in Postfix's main.cf file and what they mean. This can help in reducing the chances of your email being classed as spam or your Cloud Server IP being blacklisted.
Installation of postfix is very simple using the aptitude package manager.
Once installed, email can be sent straight away.

Of course if they hit that ~5 seconds or less boot time target then people might start shutting down and powering up their systems a bit more frequently. Heck, even 20 seconds I was getting for Arch was great (right up until I threw that out the window by installing all those additional services I need)
I'd be inclined to call Bull on ~7 seconds on that spec laptop frankly. Even ArchLinux fresh on my office machine (Core2Duo E7300, not exactly a slouch) it took around 20 seconds to boot.

Managerial/Coaching Career
Clint Hurdle was named manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates on November 15, 2010, thus becoming the 39th manager in the organization's history. The 2014 season will mark his 40th overall in professional baseball.
Hurdle was named the 2013 National League Manager-of-the-Year by the BBWAA after leading the Pirates to a 94-68 record and their first postseason berth since 1992. He received 25 first-place votes and was listed second on the other five ballots, as well as being the only manager in either league named on all 30 ballots. Hurdle is just the second Pittsburgh manager to win the award, joining Jim Leyland, who won in 1990 and 1992.
Hurdle also captured Manager-of-the-Year honors from The Sporting News in 2013, joining Billy Meyer (1948), Danny Murtaugh (1960, 1970) and Jim Leyland (1988, 1990, 1992) as past winners in club history.
In his first three seasons as the Bucco skipper, Hurdle has posted a 245-241 record. The 245 victories are the most by a Pittsburgh manager in his first three full seasons since Chuck Tanner won 282 games from 1977-79. Hurdle had his 2013 squad in sole possession of first place for 25 days from July 30-August 23 and the team occupied first or second place in the Central Division every day since June 21.
Hurdle, who enters the 2014 season ranked sixth in wins among active managers, won his 700th career game on April 28, 2013.
Hurdle spent the 2010 season as the Hitting Coach of the American League champion Texas Rangers, a club that led the Major Leagues with a .276 batting average during the regular season - paced by A.L. MVP Josh Hamilton (.359 average, 32 home runs and 100 RBI) and Vladimir Guerrero (.300 average, 29 home runs and 115 RBI).
Prior to joining the Texas coaching staff on November 5, 2009, Hurdle spent over 15 years in the Colorado organization, serving as a minor league hitting coordinator, Major League hitting coach and manager at the big league level. He compiled a 543-625 record while serving the Rockies as manager from April 26, 2002, until he was relieved of his duties on May 29, 2009. Clint has the most wins of any manager in Colorado team history, winning his 500th career game on August 29, 2008 at Los Angeles.
In 2007, Hurdle led the Rockies to the World Series as the club captured its first National League pennant in franchise history. The 2007 club, which won 11 straight games in September, won 21 of its 22 games leading up to the World Series, where Boston pulled off a four-game sweep. During the 2007 post season, the Rockies swept the Phillies in the Division Series and Arizona in the Championship Series before falling to the Red Sox in the Fall Classic.
For his efforts in 2007, Hurdle received four first-place votes and finished third in the voting for N.L. Manager-of-the-Year. His '07 squad also compiled the highest single-season fielding pct. in Major League history (.989), a mark that still stands. Clint also served as manager of the National League in the 2008 All-Star Game at Yankee Stadium, the longest game (time, innings) in All-Star history (the N.L. lost 4-3 in 15 innings in a game that lasted 4:50). Hurdle was also a coach for the N.L. staff during the 2004 All-Star Game in Houston.
Hurdle's managerial career at the big league level began with a 4-1 victory over the Phillies at Coors Field on April 26, 2002.
He replaced Buddy Bell as Colorado's skipper that day and went 6-0 in his first six games - tied for the sixth-best winning streak by a man ager following a mid-season managerial change in Major League history (Joe Morgan holds the record as his Red Sox won their first 12 games in 1988).
In his five-plus years tutoring Colorado's hitters, the club compiled the N.L.'s top two averages in 70 years (.294 in 2000 and .292 in 2001) and the league's most base hits since 1930 (1,664 in 2000). In 2001 alone, the Rockies established a Major League record for total bases (2,748) and the N.L. mark for extra-base hits (598). Hurdle, who doubled as the club's First Base Coach from 1997-98, remained on the coaching staff under three different Colorado managers; Don Baylor, Jim Leyland and Buddy Bell. Prior to becoming Hitting Coach in 1997, Clint served the Rockies as their minor league hitting instructor from 1994-96.
Before he joined the Colorado organization, Hurdle managed in the New York Mets system for six seasons (1988-1993) and compiled a 412-418 record. In his first season as a manager, and in St. Lucie's first year of existence, he led the club to a second-half division title and the Florida State League championship. Hurdle also took his 1989 St. Lucie club and the 1990 Jackson team to the post season, losing in the first round of the playoffs each year. After managing Williamsport in the Eastern League in 1991, Clint wrapped up his minor league managerial career with two seasons at the Triple-A level with Tidewater in 1992 and Norfolk in 1993.
Primarily an outfielder during his playing days, Hurdle was selected by Kansas City in the first round (9th player overall) of the 1975 June draft. After three full seasons in the minor leagues, which included American Association Rookie-of-the-Year and All-Star Game MVP honors while playing with Omaha in 1977, Clint made his Major League debut at the age of 20 with the Royals on September 18, 1977, and hit a two-run homer off Seattle's Glenn Abbott in his second at bat.
Hurdle played parts of 10 seasons in the Major Leagues with the Royals (1977-1981), Reds (1982), Mets (1983, 1985, 1987) and Cardinals (1986) and compiled a .259 average, 81 doubles, 12 triples, 32 home runs and 193 RBI in 515 career games. He appeared in the post season twice with Kansas City, going 3-for-8 with an RBI in four games against the Yankees in the 1978 A.LC.S., and advancing as far as the World Series in 1980, only to lose in four games to the Phillies.
After spending the 1982 season in the Cincinnati organization, Hurdle was signed by New York as a minor league free agent prior to the 1983 campaign and played three years in the Mets system before being selected by St. Louis in the 1985 Rule 5 Draft. In his final season as a player (1987), Clint appeared in 97 games with Triple-A Tidewater and went 1-for-3 in three games with the Mets. In his big league career, he made 240 appearances in right field, 96 in left field, 92 at first base, 22 at catcher and 15 at third base. Hurdle, who hit the final home run in Minnesota's historical Metropolitan Stadium on 9/30/81, hit his final big league homer on 9/9/86 at Three Rivers Stadium - a solo shot off Pittsburgh's Rick Reuschel.

Expert Advice
Choose practice jerseys, football pants and compression gear designed for moisture management. Moisture-wicking technology works to pull perspiration from your skin, keeping you fresh and dry. A sockliner in your football cleat treated with moisture-wicking technology enhances the fit of your shoe.

Hi all. I know most of u r not in WA but.......does any1 know of a nice west australian coastal caravan pk preferably with or near a boat ramp, that isn't so far south it's too cold even in summer, so far north it's off peak season, & far enuf from perth to b worth it all?
I was thinking of Esperance but was told it's cold even in dec/jan, so now we r thinking of Bremer bay. I was also thinkin of Kalbarri but was told the wether is humid & rainy in dec/jan.
I'm trying 2 stay away from tiny towns, unless they have a caravan pk that has onsite vans with ensuite or challets within a short distance of tent sites. We will be travelling with others who will b hiring tent sites. Normally we would join them but we will have a 1mth old baby with us so the wife wants (deserves) some creature coforts, the ensuite being a must for the undignifying facts of life that come with childbirth.
Any info or experiences appreciated, thanks.

Winged Mascot Radiator Cap From France
An extra mascot I was lucky to aquire from an Automobile Auction in France, I believe the auction was Oct. 14, in France at a newer auction called Osenat.
This piece is different from most other winged mascots in that there is separation of the feathers, which I have not seen before, and certainly never seen one like this before. I love it. So much character and pride with this piece. If it works with accomadation, I will add another piece to it to make for a very interesting and beautiful mascot. There seems to be a tip of the feather missing but that does not bother me, as it has minor loss considering how unusual this piece is. When I see a piece like this that I have never seen before, after looking and scanning thousand of images, I feel that it is a very rare mascot !~
More research has provided a link in a book that I have called Mascot Fantasies. I am not sure if it is just a book by the author of a lot of unusual and rare pieces the author has not seen or what. The book is filled with these copies which are 3rd or 5th generation copies meaning the author probably never had the catalogs these were photocopied from. This piece is shown on the top of the page. Since I changed over to windows 8, it took away my ability to scan.

FDA proposes sweeping new food safety rules
Sunday, January 6, 2013
Many responsible food companies and farmers are already following the steps that the FDA would now require them to take. But officials say the requirements could have saved lives and prevented illnesses in several of the large-scale outbreaks that have hit the country in recent years.
"The rules go very directly to preventing the types of outbreaks we have seen," said Michael Taylor, FDA's deputy commissioner for foods.
Such flexibility, along with the growing realization that outbreaks are bad for business, has brought the produce industry and much of the rest of the food industry on board as Congress and FDA has worked to make food safer.
Food safety advocates frustrated over the last year as the rules stalled praised the proposed action.

Misty Knight Archives - Comics Should Be Good! @ Comic Book Resources
Committed: Crime Fighting Female Duos – Daughters of the Dragon
I just read Daughters of the Dragon, simply out of curiosity about one of the only female crime fighting duo's (in comic books or any other entertainment medium.) While I'm a bit of an old Iron Fist fan, and I do enjoy reading comics about female superheroes, and Misty and Colleen are a creation of Chris Claremont and John Byrne (who did some very weird but very good things with strong, sexy women in other books, including the marvelous Dark Phoenix Saga) Daughters of the Dragon was the only female crime-fighting duo book I could find. It sounds ridiculous, and I'm hoping that perhaps some of you reading this can help me, but they were one of the only crime-fighting, female duos that I could think of in any entertainment medium, outside of that old '80's tv series; Cagney and Lacey.

Happy Birthday To Sam & Dave's Sam Moore!!!
Saturday, October 12, 2013
Sam Moore -- one half of the legendary R&B duo Sam & Dave -- celebrates his 78th birthday on Saturday (October 12th). Moore and Dave Prater are best remembered for their historic '60s hits for the Stax label, including "You Don't Know Like I Know," "I Thank You," "Hold On! I'm Comin'" and 1967's Top Three hit "Soul Man." The duo recorded the majority of their work at Memphis' Stax studios under the guidance of songwriter/producers Isaac Hayes and Dave Porter, with Booker T. and the MGs often serving as their backing band. Sam & Dave officially split in 1969, only to reform from 1972 to 1975.
After the success of the Blues Brothers' 1978 cover of "Soul Man" Sam & Dave teamed up again and toured extensively through 1981. Prater died in a car accident in 1988 and Moore has continued to record and be a top concert draw. Sam & Dave were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992. That same year, Moore was featured singing on several cuts on Bruce Springsteen's Human Touch album.
Moore told us that he feels lucky to be constantly working -- be it on the road or in the studio: "Fortunately, I've been blessed to do other things. I've recorded with other people like Bruce Springsteen and Don Henley, I've done movies, I've done shows where I could make a couple of bucks. I've been fortunate that a movie will come up, or a soundtrack will come up, and I can do that. So in that way, I've been able to get away to do those kind of things, y'know, to make a living."
Moore that when he hits the road again, he'd like to branch out and perform other types of music besides just R&B: "I think I deserve to walk on stage and sing songs that no one would ever expect Sam Moore to do. I'm going to have to do 'Soul Man,' I know that. I don't kid myself about that. I know, if given a chance, I can also do '(I did it) My Way.' I think I can do that kind of stuff!"
In October 2009, Sam Moore knocked the crowd out during the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame 25th Anniversary Concerts in New York City, when he joined Bruce Springsteen for duets of "Hold On, I'm Coming," and "Soul Man."
Sam Moore will next perform on November 22nd at A Tribute To George Jones at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena

Howdy, and welcome to my tiny little corner of AARland! For those of you who don't know me, my name is Matt. This is my third AAR, although this will probably be the first one I complete! My other ones (which can be found in my signature) were both EU3 AAR's with the first being ended by hard drive failure and the second by just having to much on my plate. Anywho, on to this adventure. This will be a Dai Nam AAR, and will be a narrative & gameplay hybrid.
The goal of my AAR's is to have memorable character's that you remember, be it Albert or King Renald (old characters). The problem is with these games is that they cover such a long span of time, they have a bit of a stretched life span. So I got about thinking how to deal with this issue, and with this AAR I won't even attempt to dabble in realism. So this AAR will be written from my perspective and the tiny little fella on my shoulder, Emperor Le Loi, perhaps the greatest leader of Vietnam ever. Hopefully he will guide me as I am quite bad at this game. Remember, don't take this to serious! Enjoy.
Dialogue inbound! There won't be so much next chapter.
So this is how I met Le Loi...
Chapter 1 - Why You Never Look Under The Carpet!
December 16th, (Year Omitted)
I was a college student, and a decent one at that. Not to brag, but I was pretty good looking too. Those were the days. Anyway, I was a history major, and as such I was touring Asia with a few friends. We saw the everything from the Great Wall to Edo Castle, hitting all the major spots. Everything was going great, I was having fun and couldn't wait to see Vietnam, as that was our last stop. However, what I got was a whole lot of trouble.
I grimaced and looked at the doorway.
"Do we have to? You know I hate tombs."
My friend Jack smiled and laughed.
"Stop being such a girl. Le Loi was a pretty important guy dude. How can you not go in?"
"By going back to the hotel."
Jack smiled and grabbed my arm. He then shoved me into the tomb.
"Come on it will be fun!"
"Fine! Let's get this over with."
We walked into the tomb. It was cold, dark, and dingy. Just like I expected. We walked for a short bit until we finally arrived at the tomb. Jack looked at it through the ropes.
"Let's touch it!"
I shook my head. Jack always wanted to see what was under the carpet.
"Why? What kind of historian are you?"
"The edgy kind!"
With that he leaned over the ropes and pushed the casket lid. Then he was gone. I blinked and shouted for him. Then suddenly I felt something tapping on my shoulder.
"He is gone boy. His soul is mine. I am live once more!"
There was a small man in ceremonial armor sitting on my shoulder. And he looked alot like engraving on the tomb. I laughed.
"Ha, ok Jack very funny. Come on out now."
I poked at the man on my shoulder.
"You are pretty cool for a projection."
I poked the small man in the stomach again. He screamed. With that he pulled out a tiny blade and stabbed my finger. It bled a little so I sucked on it. I almost soiled myself.
"Ah, you aren't a projection. So I am insane."
"No, it is very simple. I ate your friends soul and reincarnated myself."
"Why are you small?"
"I don't know! This is the first time I have been reincarnated."
"Well, I have to look for Jack."
The small man looked into my eyes.
I couldn't resist.
"Le Loi, my highness. How can I serve you?"
"Leave this place! It is dingy!"
"Yes master!"
With that we left the tomb. Once we were oustide I regained control of myself.
"How did you do that!"
I glared at him. He stared at me with a blank expression. I shook my head.
"Ok, let's say that you are the real Le Loi for a second. How do you speak english?"
He shrugged.
"With the soul comes the vocabulary I guess."
I was a open minded fellow, so I began to accept all of this. I was obviously off my rocker.
"Fine, leave me now. I want to mourn Jack."
"Two problems with that. First is that I can't leave...
"Well, form what I understand is that I need a soul and a tether."
"A tether?"
"Something to keep me in this universe. Guess we better get to know each other."
With that he slung his tiny arm around my neck. I shook it off as gently as I could.
"What is the other problem?"
"Your friend isn't dead. He is in this tiny little body with me. Before you hurt me though, you must help me fufill my goal. He will then be free."
"Will he be tiny?"
Le Loi shrugged.
"Fine, I will help you. What is this goal?"
"I never lived long enough to see that my state developed to the superpower status it deserved! We are going to do this!"
Le Loi waved his hands around and started chanting. It was then that I realized I was obviously the only one who could hear him. I didn't have time to consider this though as there was suddenly a flash!
Le Loi looked around and smiled. The tomb was gone and we were now in a dense jungle.
"Son of a...."
Le Loi looked at me and smiled.
"Welcome to 1836! It is from here we will guide my nation to greatness and you will earn back the soul of your friend!"
I could already tell. This was going to suck.
Hope you guy's enjoyed! One more pure narrative update and then we get some gameplay.
