MAD Gets Even WeirderSaturday, March 21st, 2015
MAD cover art by Mark Fredrickson
From the MAD Magazine Website:
At 6 PM on April 20th, the guest editor of MAD #533, "Weird Al" Yankovic and MAD Editor John Ficarra will be at the Barnes & Noble at 33 E 17th St in NYC to sign autographs and meet fans! Mark your calendars! Enter the coordinates into your GPS! Moisturize and manicure your hand-shaking hand!
It will be fun to see this issue. Weird Al got worked into the piece I did for #533, and I am sure other features will have him involved in some way. This "guest editor" thing is a great idea. It would be fun to see an issue a year feature a guest editor. There are a lot of comedians and entertainers that cite MAD as a major influence who would probably love to do it: Stephen Colbert, Judd Apatow and Jon Stewart come to mind.

This anime (which I will simply call Mondaiji) is basically a filler series. Meaning, something you will watch between better titles or when there is nothing good on tv. It is one of those light shows people watch as relaxation or when they are very bored. Sure, I make it sound like it is a bad thing when it isn't but then again I am not watching anime because I am bored.
The story is about three teenagers from our world being transferred to a magical land where they need to help it help it be freed from the tyranny of demon lords. Sounds a bit typical so far, yet it plays a twist on this by making the whole thing to feel like it's a parody. The teenagers are really messed up in their heads and possess superpowers that surpass even those of the demon lords. And the way to save the world is by winning in games. And their guide in this world is a sexy bunny rabbit. Sounds funny? Yes! Do they do much with any of all that besides one joke after another? No!
If you try to see this show for any other reason than comedy, then chances are you will be greatly disappointed with how effortless everything is. The heroes have simply no trouble beating all the challenges, which are nothing but silly games in a fantasy-themed amusement part. They are also supposed to have their personal issues but those mean nothing if they can waltz through the challenges within minutes and be constantly the heroes of the day. It sort of takes away any reason to keep watching. But then again the whole show is about wishful thinking than drama or tension so I guess it is what the creators intended for it to be all along. You have these arrogant overpowered kids who are bored out of their minds in our world and wish to show off how cool they are in a fictional land that looks like a fairy tale, where everything is a joke and no real worries exist. What kind of insecured kid wouldn't like that?
As far as the humour goes, it is ok to the most part but just like everything else it is light and silly. It mostly has to do with the heroes being badass and manipulating, and that bunny girl keep being sexually humiliated despite all her good intensions. It sort of becomes repetitive from a point on but the show is only 10 episodes so it doesn't last long enough to become boring in a redundant way. I know many who think it is too short for its content but I don't agree; if it doesn't have much of a plot or any significant tension then it might as well stop while it is still good, instead of keep getting more of it until nobody cares anymore. They did that with the very similar Dog Days and look how bad it turned out to be for not ending in half a season. They could have made a continuation where the heroes are starting to lose or the drama becomes more prominent than the humour but that would move too far away from the initial goal of the show and it would displease most. So it was fine to end where it did.
As far as artwork goes, there is nothing noteworthy. I mean, ok, the fantasy land looks colourful and eye-catchy, and the bunny girl is hot. That is all there is to it; nothing exceptional in terms or details, cinematics, fluent animation or special effects during the battles. The characters are as stereotypical as they get, both in design as well as personality.
The music themes are forgettable fluff, and the voice acting is lost under the very light presentation of the story. There are no bigshot names in the production team either; studio, directors, and writer are nobodies who only did silly stuff in the past and don't intend to create something memorable EVER!
Many loved the lead boy for being an arrogant bastard than the usually pussy protagonist of harems that is in almost every show there is today. That doesn't make him any special or memorable since we get a badass like him once in every season and they are all as forgettable as the wimps they try not to resemble. The other two girls that are in the same team as him are from a point on completely worthless too, since he alone can defeat EVERYTHING with no support from friends or allies. What was the point of having three heroes when one was more than enough while the other two barely matter or are noticed?
Let's be frank of what this show is, ok? A light watch to chuckle for a couple of times before you find a better show and forget it within a week. It is not bad yet nothing special to bother recommending to others. I came, I saw, I left, I remember nothing about it. There is no value in it exactly because it never tried to be anything more than an anecdote.
And now for some excused scorings.

This review may contain my own opinion and possible minor spoilers, read at your own risk!
If you still want to read this review, here we go then.
Story: The story is about 3 people, You KASUKABE, Asuka KUDOU and Izayoi SAKAMAKI, whom are suddenly invited and teleported to the unknown land known as "Little Garden". The reason is, the Black Rabbit summoned them since each of them own an unique ability. I'll explain why Black Rabbit summoned them later. First, let's see... what exactly is Little Garden? Little Garden is world where anyone can host Gift Games, in which any possible prizes (from gift cards, which can be used in gift games to help you out, to one's lifes...) may be won or lost by gods, spirits, monsters or people with extraordinary abilities like You, Asuka and Izayoi. Furthermore, clans exist in this world. Each clan contains few or a lot of people that participate in games (depending on rules, which are made by hosts, or you could call them challengers) in order to help each other win. Most clans posses their own flags and territories like an actual country.
Why did Black Rabbit summon You, Asuka and Izayoi? Basically, Black Rabbit is part of the clan that used to be like any other clan, until they lost its name and members in the Game, which led to losing its status as an actual clan.
Now the No-Name clan seeks a new talent to make comeback and to regain its flag and name. Thus, Black Rabbit summoned our children in order to get help from them in regaining clan's pride. Will they help Black Rabbit or just ditch her, or perhaps make some kind of trade? And if they join the clan, will they be able to succeed with the redemption of the clan? Watch the anime to find out!
Animation: The animation in this anime is good. I don't know what more to say about that, but again, some people may have different tastes.
Sound: Mondaiji-tachi ga Isekai kara Kuru Sou Desu yo has decent soundtrack. The main thing that caught my eye (or more like ear) though, would be the opening, which is very catchy. 1-2-3! Black or White~?
Black Rabbit - Funny airhead character with oppais and bunny ears and tail. Always targeted by everyone's teasing, that will do anything in order for the clan to succeed. You'll love this character right away, as she is always interesting to watch. ALWAYS.
Izayoi Sakamaki - A not-so-typical teenager with unknown ability that overpowers anything and anyone in his way. Izayoi's main reason for participating in clan's redemption is that it could be fun, unlike his original world. He is the one who always keeps his cool.
Asuka Kudou - Bossy and friendly Ojou-sama with big ego. Asuka, who didn't like her original world much enjoys Little Garden a lot with her psychic powers.
You Kasukabe - Your typical mischievous animal lover with cat pet. Kasukabe also has an unique power like Asuka and Izayoi.
Overall: Mondaiji-tachi ga Isekai kara Kuru Sou Desu yo? also known as just "Problem Children" is an anime that is worthwhile of your time. It's main course is strange comedy, with few fan service here and there (mainly in OVA). If you're looking to have fun by watching a laid-back anime, yet sometimes serious, this anime is just for you!
Problem Children Are Coming From Another World, Aren't They? (or Problem Children as we'll call it for this review), is somewhat of a frustrating series. It isn't that it's a bad show, it's that, the show hasn't been given enough episodes to really prove itself and by the time you properly warm to it, it's all over and done with.
That said, before we tackle the above issue, lets talk about the plot. Three, somewhat bored, children are transported from their worlds to a place known as "The Little Garden". In this place there are many communities which make their names by having people take part in a number of Gift Games, games where both sides put something down as a bet. It goes without saying that the communities that win the most games are the most well known in this world. Now you may be thinking "Just what are the rules of these gift games?", well, one of the amusing thing is that the rules are completely made up by the player who challenges the other side to one of these games, leaving the field open for some very interesting games indeed. Of course, you couldn't have a decent story without some bad guys, and as such the plot also reveals that certain communities and 'demon lords' tend to pick on the lesser communities unfairly. Our characters become part of a community which isn't very well known and doesn't even have a flag or name to call its own, but they set about trying to build it up regardless and take down some of these unfair demon lords, but can they really manage it?
Of our group of Problem Children we have Asuka who has the power to make people obey her every command, Izayoi who is stupidly powerful when it comes to physical moves and it quickly becomes apparent that you'd struggle to find anything that can take him on and win, and lastly we have You, who has the ability to talk to animals. It's an interesting bunch of characters, and after a few episodes you find yourself warming to them quite well and willing them to do well in these gift games. Of our three characters Asuka and You are the most likeable, but that's partly because the show goes to the effort of explaining their pasts and their feelings, by the end of the series we're left knowing very little about Izayoi apart from the fact he's very powerful and very smart, which is hard to accept in the first place, never mind when the series neglects to explain just why he's smart and such. Izayoi aside, characters are actually handled quite well with all of our main cast getting their chance in the spotlight, and enemies being interesting, but never sticking around long enough for them to become boring. The series seems to pride itself more on action than explaining things, which is certainly not a bad thing with characters like Izayoi around.
The shows pacing isn't bad either once it gets going. The first episode throws us into utter madness, the second plays catch up trying to actually explain the madness of the first, and the third tries to settle us into the pacing we'll have for the rest of the series. After that we're treated to a couple of story arcs which are interesting, but never focused on long enough to become boring. The show is about action, adventure, and comedy, all of which is does quite well for the most part, but never outstandingly well, which is amusing because for some odd reason Problem Children really feels like a charming show which pulls the viewer into this insane world, even though to look from afar the show is nothing special, there are other anime in that genre which are longer and arguably better, but there is still something about Problem Children which draws you in. Being able to pinpoint just what it is that draws you in, however, is by no means an easy task.
All of that said, the problem with Problem Children is the length of it. You don't really settle into the show until the fifth episode, and at that point you're halfway through. Frankly, when it ends you're left wanting much more, especially when the ending feels much more like an ending to an arc than it does the ending to the story, 25 episodes would have suited this show MUCH more. It's such a shame to be left feeling so disappointed, because it really is a nice show, but I struggle to recommend it when I know there won't be many anime fans out there that will want to watch a ten episode series, get really into it halfway through, and then be left disappointed when it ends too soon. Again, there are better shows in the genre and Problem Children will lose out because of its length.
To quickly go over the animation; nothing is outstanding, but it still all very nice. As you'd expect from a series like this, the world is all very colourful and vivid, with character designs also being very colourful and pleasing to the eye. It isn't amazing, but it certainly isn't bad and the animation is certainly one of the things which will draw you in and keep you there.
Where the soundtrack is concerned, it actually isn't that special. I don't remember much of it, mostly because the characters and setting are much more interesting and the music just really blends in until you rarely notice it expect for maybe one, somewhat calmer, episode. That said, the opening for the series is actually very catchy and it was nice to have something as upbeat and crazy as the show quickly proved to be. The voice acting was also strong, with each voice fitting to the characters, Izayoi actually has the most interesting performance out of all of them, despite being the character we learn least about.
In closing: Problem Children isn't a bad show, but it ends too soon and will leave the viewer disappointed in its ending. Given more episodes it would have been perfectly fine, but there are better shows in the genre that deserve your attention more.
I'm going to start by saying that I absolutely loved this serie, so i might be fanboying about it but let's start
Synopsis: The serie starts of with three "problem children" and are transported from their world to a place called "The Little Garden".Which looks a little bit like las vages to me. In this world there are communities wich make their names by having people take part in something called a "Gift Game", these are games where both side bet something. These "Gift Games" are never the same the rules are made up by the player that challenges the other player. Some communities and demon lords take on the lesser communities unfairly. The characters become part of an community wich does not have an name and is called "The no-names", so they try to build it up and take down some of those unfair communities and demon lords, but can they do it?
Story: The story's pacing is not bad, in the first episode i was like wait what?, but the second episode actually explains some things and the third gets you into the pacing of the entire series.
Characters: In the group of "problem children" you have got four main charachters: Asuka who has the power to let people obey every command, Izayoi the overpowered character and You who can talk to animals Also we have kuro usagi or black rabbit who is their guardian/guide . Apart from Izayoi the show explains the pasts and feelings of the other two characters. At the end of the show you don't know much about Izayoi just that he's very powerful and smart.
Animation: The animation is very nice, nothing special but the world is very colorful, wich goes the same for character designs and action both are very pleasing to the eye. The animation is not bad and is one of the things that'll keep you watching it. Also at the end of every episode you get a fan art picture thing wich where all amazing (I actually have one of them as my background)
Sound: To start with the Opening it's very good in my opinion i actually have it on my music player just because it's very catchy. I also liked the ending wich is quite rare as i usually skip it but this ending i watched or listend to quite a few times.
Enjoyment: Lots of action, quite some comedy a catchy op and likable characters this was a great serie to watch even though the male lead is very OP (over powered) it was not that predictable. The characters don't change that much but it's not really needed. For a 10 episode serie this was very enjoyable and i hope for a second season.
Overall: This serie is not a bad show but it main down side is that this show is just 10 episode's if it would have been let's say 24 it would have been better but we might get a 2nd season if we are lucky. in total a nice serie to watch if you got some time left
Now for the ratings:
Animation 8/10
Story: 8/10
Sound 7.5/10
Characters 7/10
Enjoyment 9/10
If you got comments, tips or anything else please tell me :)
This review contains no spoilers.
Story [6/10]
When the series first began, I thought it was a cool concept that would be fleshed out more to reveal some intricacies and order, but the ideas never became coherent. The basic idea was explained and then, from there, it seemed like new rules kept getting made up episode-by-episode. They didn't explain half the things that were presented as questions in the beginning, at least not very clearly. Everything seemed quite random and unorganized, aside from the stem of the storyline. If it had been presented and executed in a better way, the premise was pretty fun.
Vibe: Animation + Sound [7/10]
The action scenes were pretty good and the characters moved well. I loved the opening song and animation and the ending was absolutely adorable and charming. The towns/culture matched the randomness of the storyline, with many different kinds of buildings and characters and scenery.
Characters [5/10]
It would have been nice to get to know the characters because they were interesting at face-value. They only delved into one character's history, briefly, and didn't even explain another character's present circumstances. The detail of the communities as a whole was done well, but the individual characters gained absolutely no substance throughout the series. It was a lot of showing off and nothing genuinely interesting.
Overall [5.5/10]
The show had plenty of potential at first, but it didn't go anywhere far. Some cool species, some decent fights, but nothing fascinating or intense. I left with no attachment to the characters besides admiring some of their cuteness. I was also left confused with a lot of the supposed "rules", that didn't seem concrete or consistent at all.

So umm....some gameplay footage please? I honestly don't care about it without any gameplay footage. So far the only information I have that's relevant to me is Bethesda's involvement...which is a big fat minus with how they tend to handle their games.
Bethesda is just the publisher. They have no involvement in developing the game. Just like Dishonored which as a great game published by Bethesda.
Accrovideogames posted...
PhaseBlack posted...Why would it be? They simply put next gen consoles for the platforms yet to launch, the Wii U has been out for months so why not give it individual focus as a platform the game would be on?
The WiiU is a next gen Nintendo console... Or was. It has been out since last year making it a current generation Nintendo console.
The WiiU is also a current generation console in terms of technology with capabilities at or near a PS3 and 360. In terms of technology the WiiU would be a last gen console compared to ps4/720. Much like the Wii compared to a PS4/360.

Very cozy
This is a beautiful cottage. It was such an inviting feeling walking into the home. They had even put up a Christmas tree in the living room, it was a huge hit with all of us!!!! We had a group of ten stay here. The rooms are so cozy and the beds r very comfortable. I would have given this cottage a 5, but somethings bothered us. For 1 we thought it was very odd they did not have any soap for showers. Even the hand soaps by the sinks were empty. After traveling to get to the cottage, we all wanted to shower, but had to run to the store, which is not close. And we couldn't find a stopper for the tub. So the little kids had to take showers(kind of a pain). 2nd the couches needed to be cleaned or replaced. They had horrible stains on them. Even on the pillows. We let the management know and they said they would have them replaced. The management was very accommodating.The first night we got there, it was horrible weather. As we were getting the kids ready for bed and putting out the cots, we realized we didn't have enough blankets. We called the management and they immediately ran blankets over. We had even told them to not worry about it until morning.
Simply Awesome!!
The location puts you in walking distance of so much of the best Newport Beach has to offer, and if you love to walk you can get to 2 piers, the beach, restaurants, the Fun Zone, Balbo, Balboa Island (with shopping) and so much more. The apartment is clean, well-furnished and the owners were very friendly and responsive to all our needs. I have already recommended this locations to family and friends.
Comfortable Vacation Home
This Balboa Island home provided a comfortable and convenient vacation experience. There were 2 adults and 3 teenagers in our group. We all had an excellent time! The owners were easy to communicate with and arrival through check-out was smooth. One of the very best features of this home is the location. It is located steps from the harbor and a couple of short blocks from the Newport Peninsula ferry. Our family rented bikes for the week at a nearby shop. We rode to the quaint main street for ice cream and shopping, took our bikes on the ferry to the beach and to several nearby restaurants. We also spent a day in Disneyland and found the drive from the house to the park to be easy and stress-free. Although there was construction on a nearby home, it did not hinder our trip. This home was plenty spacious, and we made good use of the large dining table and outside front patio. The kitchen was well stocked and all the basic conviences were supplied. The upstairs did get stuffy each day and one back bedroom did not cool off easily even with all of the windows open. Some of the furnishings are somewhat dated but the bathrooms upstairs are beatifully remodeled and again, there is plenty of space. There is a basketball hoop out back but no basketball. We purchased a ball and played almost daily. If you plan to prepare meals at the house, we recommend purchasing your groceries on the way into town as there is no large grocery store on the island. We absolutely recommend this property and hope to stay there again!

I didn't realize this was here, cool.
Most of my friends refuse to even eat vegetables, so my chances of convincing them to go vegan is unfortunately highly unlikely. Likewise I don't see being able to convince them that a tofu burger is good when I haven't found one that I like myself. I welcome input on how to make tofu taste like anything other than what it is. Thanks!
hmm.. it's a good thing i didn't order pizza today :D

Looking for a Corn Syrup Alternative? Consider Brown Rice Syrup
Ingredient Spotlight
Brown rice syrup is a relatively new addition to my pantry, but it's a welcome one. I first discovered it in pursuit of my ideal granola bar recipe, but have since found that it's quite a versatile baking ingredient. It can take the place of corn syrup in many recipes, and its unique nutty-sweet flavor adds depth and character to everything from brownies to a bowl of oatmeal.
A Quick Guide to Ingredient Substitutions
Cooking Guides from The Kitchn
We've all faced ingredient conundrums and last-minute shortages in the kitchen. Oh no! Out of eggs! No crème fraîche! Need a buttermilk substitute! Thankfully, there are a few tried-and-true substitutions you can turn to in a pinch. These can also be helpful if you're trying to modify a recipe out of dietary necessity (shifting it to be dairy or gluten-free, for example). This guide will help get you started.

Around this time of year, I always start seeing articles on what to do with a glut of herbs that may be growing in your garden. Or how to use up certain botanical ingredients before they go bad. While infusing oils is always an easy go-to solution, my favorite way to use up those herbs is by making your own infused honeys.
Homesteaders' Cocktail Recipe: Lovage Simple Syrup
Recipes from The Kitchn
I spent the Memorial Day weekend with my friend Joe Yonan up in Maine where he is taking a year off from his role as Food and Travel editor of The Washington Post to work on a book about vegetables and live on his sister and brother-in-law's homestead. He's growing his own produce, fetching eggs in the morning from his small gaggle of hens, and living as much as possible off the land.
With some gardening experience in my past, I volunteered to venture north and help with some homesteading chores. The very first challenge posed to me was by Joe's sister. She took me out to the garden, pointed at a tall stalky plant I knew to be lovage, and said, "What should we do about this thing?"

This is a salon for men and kids too. by e0317 - 01/06/2011
Took my granddaughter there for a little trim. She left with a great haircut, manicure and pedicure and her "Pop" got a haircut too. The little one (4 years old) was treated like a princess and she wants to go back next month when she visits again. Service was awesome. There's a bar for coffee and juice for the kids. Jenny's done a great job with the layout and design. Its not just for ladies. Everything is upscale yet comfortable for a grand dad like me. I liked it so much I made another appointment.

Results tagged ' Jake Arrieta '
9/2 Cubs lineup
Jake Arrieta gets the start Tuesday night as the Cubs play host to the Brewers at Wrigley Field. Here's the lineup:
Coghlan LF
Baez 2B
Castro SS
Valbuena 3B
Soler RF
Castillo C
Alcantara CF
Valaika 1B
Arrieta P
8/28 Reds 7, Cubs 2
* Jake Arrieta did not have his command, or ability to stop the Reds running game Thursday. Cincinnati collected six hits and drew four walks off Arrieta, and then stole six bases over four innings.
"I was bad at controlling the running game today," Arrieta said. "That's my fault, not giving Baker any opportunity to throw those guys out. Putting them in scoring position sets them up for some of those hits."
Five of the Reds runs came with two outs, and he couldn't get the strikeout in big situations when needed.
"Arrieta, we knew, was going to be very hard to score on," Reds manager Bryan Price said. "So I felt we needed to create some scoring opportunities by running. He's a little bit slower and more deliberate to the plate, and we were able to take advantage of that."
Said manager Rick Renteria: "He just didn't have his 'Jake like' command today."
* With the loss, the Cubs are 20-34 against NL Central teams, and 5-11 against the Reds.
8/28 Cubs lineup
Jake Arrieta gets the start in the Cubs' series finale against the Reds. No Anthony Rizzo. He's still bothered by tightness in his lower back. Here's the lineup:
Coghlan LF
Baez 2B
Castro SS
Valbuena 3B
Soler RF
Alcantara CF
Valaika 1B
Baker C
Arrieta P
8/22 Cubs lineup
Logan Watkins, called up Thursday from Triple-A Iowa, gets the start on Friday in the Cubs Interleague opener against the Orioles. It'll be a big start for Jake Arrieta, who will be facing his former team for the first time. Here's the lineup:
Alcantara CF
Baez SS
Rizzo 1B
Valbuena 3B
Coghlan LF
Sweeney RF
Watkins 2B
Baker C
Arrieta P
8/22 Arrieta vs. O's
Jake Arrieta was drafted by the Orioles and came up through their system, and on Friday, he was scheduled to make his first start against them as the Cubs opened an Interleague series.
"It'll be fun to face guys I played with for a long time," Arrieta said. "I know they're going to come out and compete as best as they possibly can and I'm sure they expect the same from me."
Arrieta guessed that the last time he faced the Orioles hitters was in Spring Training scrimmages.
"I don't know if there's an edge or not," he said. "I know if I execute pitches, I like my chances. If I make a lot of mistakes, their success will go up. I think it's going to be a good one."
This is the third series between the Cubs and Orioles, and second at Wrigley Field. Baltimore took two of three in Chicago June 24-26, 2008, after the Cubs went 2-1 at Camden Yards in June 2003.
– Carrie Muskat
8/21 Cubs vs Orioles
Looking ahead, the Cubs will play the Orioles at Wrigley Field in an Interleague series, starting Friday. Here are the pitching matchups:
Friday: RHP Jake Arrieta (6-4, 2.61) vs. RHP Kevin Gausman (7-4, 3.70)
Saturday: RHP Kyle Hendricks (5-1, 1.48) vs. RHP Bud Norris (11-7, 3.69)
Sunday: LHP Tsuyoshi Wada (2-1, 2.75) vs. RHP Miguel Gonzalez (6-6, 3.80)
8/18 Arrieta to finish season
Jake Arrieta missed the first month of the season because of tightness in his right shoulder and has been monitored all year, but the Cubs have no plans to shut down the right-hander before the regular season ends. Manager Rick Renteria said before Arrieta's start on Sunday that they were keeping an eye on Arrieta, and wanted to clarify that they do that for all of the pitchers.
"There's no plan in shutting Jake down," Renteria said Monday. "That's not something we're considering. We're not shutting him down. We're not looking to shut him down, we haven't talked about shutting him down."
Arrieta has 13 quality starts this season, and threw seven shutout innings on Sunday in a 2-1 win over the Mets. After the game, he said he'd like to finish the season.
"I want to make every start that I have lined up throughout the end of September," Arrieta said. "If something comes up, I guess that will be addressed. I'd love to stay in the mix and finish out on a high note."
Arrieta struck out nine, and the first eight Ks ended on curveballs.
"Jake's stuff is so good that days like [Sunday], the scouting report doesn't even matter," catcher John Baker said.
Most scouting reports have Arrieta throwing his curve about 15 percent of the time.
"He threw more [Sunday]," Baker said Monday. "Against the last batter he faced [Matt den Dekker], I kept calling curveballs so maybe we could strike him out and get a 10th strikeout.
"That's how fun the game was — you're trying to call the game to strike somebody out instead of trying to get them to put the ball in play on three pitches or less, which is how I usually call a game," Baker said. "That breaking ball — it was like he was throwing Wiffle balls up there. I felt bad for the opposing hitters because that's something you don't usually see is somebody throwing an 82 mile an hour curveball that's that big."
Arrieta's last strikeout in the sixth came on a fastball.
"He struck out [Daniel] Murphy looking on the fastball because we thought he was looking for a curveball at that point," Baker said.
– Carrie Muskat
8/17 Cubs 2, Mets 1
* Jake Arrieta threw seven scoreless innings, giving up two hits and striking out nine in the Cubs' win. Since June 3, he has given up more than three runs in one start, and compiled a 2.45 ERA in that stretch. What was working? His curve, which was his strikeout pitch on his first eight Ks.
* Starlin Castro hit a game-winning home run leading off the ninth. He has hit in 15 of his 16 games, and is batting .400 in that stretch. His home run was his first career go-ahead homer in the ninth or later.
"We've played a lot of extra inning games, and I just wanted to go out there and be aggressive," Castro said.
He is now one homer shy of matching his career high of 14, set in 2012.
* Javier Baez drew two walks, his first since he was called up on Aug. 5.
* Matt Szczur made his Major League debut, pinch-running in the eighth. He grounded out in the ninth in his only plate appearance.
8/17 Cubs lineup
Jake Arrieta gets the start Sunday as the Cubs face the Mets in the third game of their four-game series. Luis Valbuena is back after missing two games because of a sinus infection. Here's the lineup:
Coghlan LF
Baez 2B
Rizzo 1B
Castro SS
Valbuena 3B
Alcantara CF
Sweeney RF
Baker C
Arrieta P
8/11 Brewers 3, Cubs 1
* Jake Arrieta gave up two runs on five hits over 7 1/3 innings and took the loss. Despite the loss, he has a 1.94 ERA and 48 strikeouts in eight starts at Wrigley Field. This was his 11th quality start out of his last 12.
* Chris Coghlan tied the game with an RBI double in the fifth. After batting .202 in the first 44 games, he's batting .354 in the last 36.
* Javier Baez doubled in the fourth, and extended his hitting streak to five games. This was his seventh big league game.
* Starlin Castro extended his hitting streak to a season-high 10 games with a single in the second. He has 131 hits, most among NL shortstops.
* Yovani Gallardo picked up the win, and Mark Reynolds hit a solo home run for the Brewers.

Mark Herzlich, as you might know, is kind of a bad ass. He survived cancer and became a solid member of the Giants defense toward the end of his rookie season.
And he is playing in the Super Bowl. Which he kindly pointed out in the following tweet that pretty much says it all.

Dude... you obviously never had someone you care about beat cancer. When people tell you you'll never do something agian and then you do, you kinda feel like telling cancer to take a long walk off a short pier. It's natural.

I just called my VW Canada
And I tell you! They are clueless about what's up with this engine! No one knows for sure why it's not allowed in Canada and I mentioned to them that the excuse was that the emmissions doesn't pass according to the amount of pollution per gallon but that it passes according to the amount of pollution per mile and that it meets the emmissions standard. Here's what I've come to conclude:
VW has not put a US/Canada Compliance label on these European Cars. And that's why it's not allowed to be sold/imported in North America.
The Compliance label is the key. Here's what I found out about the compliance label for canada:
All the regulations listed in the act on the website above are what the car needs to meet in order to get the compliance label. If the car meets all the regulations then the car "can have" a compliance label for US/Canada. But! If the manufacturers(e.g. VW) do not put a compliance label on the car then you are still not able to sell/import the car into north america anyway. So what I'm saying is that I think the car meets the compliance but VW doesn't want to put that label on. But who knows why??? I certainly don't know?
And I even told them that the label does not require that the economy will fall if there is no taxes being collected for the roads!

Plans to drug test welfare recipients get momentum
Michigan's program was halted after five weeks in 1999, eventually ending with an appeals court ruling that it was unconstitutional.
For more than a decade, no other state moved to implement such a law.
"The biggest piece that has held up action now and in the past are the constitutional questions," said Rochelle Finzel, the Children and Families Program manager at the NCSL.
But Florida last year passed legislation that was eventually halted by a federal court ruling that cited constitutional concerns.
Finzel said some states are trying to avoid court challenges by requiring drug tests only in cases where there's reasonable cause to believe there's substance abuse, instead of requiring everyone to take a test.
Missouri took that approach in passing a law last year that hasn't gotten tied up in court, but which has touched off an attempt at political one-upsmanship from a House Republican who introduced a bill this month that would require his colleagues at the state Capitol to take and pass the same test.
In Wyoming, the Republican-controlled state House handily approved a welfare drug testing bill after a fiery debate Thursday. The plan sailed through a second vote Friday and needs only one more reading before heading to the solidly-conservative state Senate, where a key leader supports the concept.
In Colorado, a testing plan is expected to fail because Democrats who oppose it control the state Senate - but Republicans have succeeded in starting a conversation on the issue.
"If you can afford to buy drugs, and use drugs, you don't need" welfare, said Republican Rep. Jerry Sonnenberg, who is sponsoring a bill this session.
Sonnenberg said his bill also seeks to help drug users get clean because applicants must complete rehab to qualify for government aid again.
Sonnenberg's critics said the idea feeds off the negative - and unsubstantiated - stereotype that low-income communities are more likely to use drugs. Sonnenberg said he's not picking on any group, and pointed out that the legislation would likely have a narrow effect.
"The five percent, or the four percent, or whatever that percentage is that is on drugs, will have a choice to make. They will either do what they can to get clean, or not have their (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) funds," he said.
In Wyoming, Republican Rep. Frank Peasley, a co-sponsor of the testing bill, said the measure is an effort to rein in a welfare system run amok.
"We are going broke," he said,
But Linda Burt, director of the ACLU in Wyoming, said this week it's possible her group would challenge the testing program if it's adopted in Wyoming.
"We challenged it in Michigan. We challenged it in Florida. Both of those cases found that singling out this particular group of people for drug testing was unconstitutional with absolutely no cause."
Associated Press writer Ivan Moreno contributed reporting from Denver.

Postponed deadlines, threats of fines and inability to renew or create residency visas are just some of the scare tactics used to push us towards the Emirates ID
August 6, 2012 12:00 by Muhammad Aldalou
As several more tactics are thrown onto the nightmarish rollercoaster that is the Emirates ID 'journey', Kipp cannot help but wonder; is the scare tactic being exhausted from overuse?
It is rare that one would see the name of a country's identification card appear in the mainstream media almost as often as your average celebrity and the frightening thing is that it continues to make the headlines because it is scary to some and to others; it is an inconvenience that they want to ignore, much like cleaning out the back of the cupboard.
So far, this National ID, which to my love of irony translates an image of unity, has been linked to more scare campaigns than Uncle Sam's famous poster. Deadlines, fines, visa links, visa rejections, age limits, waiting list, appointments and some more visa links. It seems to translate into; get your ID to stay in the country because you won't be eligible otherwise.
The most recent of the link-tactic, is the inability for one to purchase a Sim Card or re-register theirs with Etisalat or du (which is also a recent campaign of the 'Big Brother' nature) unless they produce an Emirates ID card as proof of Identification. Your passport would work as well but labour cards and driving licenses will no longer be accepted. Funnily enough, both the aforementioned identification cards have been and continue to be issued by governmental departments so why has the confidence in them been lost? The rule was slapped into effect almost immediately after the announcement from the TRA, which again plays to Kipp's love for irony.
The other recently revealed hindrance in our daily lives is that more and more clinics are beginning to reject patients' requests for sick leave certificates without an Emirates ID and sure enough, it will spread to all private clinics in a matter of time; just an additional burden on the shoulders of the weak and sickly.
Despite the strong and pushy efforts to pressurize the population into quickly signing up for this ID, the wait is in itself, a secondary conversation of frustration. One would assume that a procedure that appears to be talked about in the papers and discussed daily might run a bit smoother once you surrender yourself to it, and it would, if not for poor communication.
And despite all the scare tactics and ongoing links, threats of deadlines (that have been changed several times), the accumulation of faced fines and penalties, inability to renew your work permit and the inability to create a new one; there are still many people that continue their lives without it. It could be attributed to the fact that there has been an absence of a strong motive (not a tactic but a genuine motive) to carry this form of identification. The question of what makes this card different, has not yet been answered. I do not speak about its security and physical features but rather on its validity and why its growing hype is being afforded a standard as high as a passport.
3 Comments
Emirates ID is a joke. I had to run around for 1.5 years to get my ID..Why? Because there was some error in their system which even they could not find out. I had to run from pillar to post & only after the interevention of a media reporter it got resolved.
When our office was recently checked by a group of youths interested to see if our visas were in order, they refused to accept E-ID because it doesn't mention the name of the sponsor.
As most of us keep our passports at home and our notional sponsor keeps the labour cards, this could have been a problem.
Fortunately I was able to show them a copy of my passport and visa that I keep on my phone and assured them that we all (100% Engineering graduates) had similar visas with the same sponsor.
So – E.ID or no E.ID: keep either a labour card handy or a copy of your visa until they manage to find enough inspectors qualified to operate card readers and be able to check your sponsor details in the chip on the card.
–assuming that the details are, actually, in there. I've never seen anywhere here with a card reader for them.

You're Gonna Burn
"Like all the best art, this album gives you pause and makes you question where you are, whether in your own life or in what's around you: the most intimately personal as political."
Some music is so good that it helps you take a mental snapshot of a moment, a forever reminder filled with sound, smells and emotion. Jessi Robertson's new record, I came from the war, is that kind of album. Every syllable that escapes Robertson's lips has that longing, that fire, that raw immediacy that allows you to hear and feel her soul.
"I Came from the War is much more than a collection of songs, it is a work of art. The intoxicating soul of Robertson's album is darkly beautiful and wholly engrossing."

Overall score
would recommend to a friend.
Reviewer score
Would recommend
Check in was fast. Room was clean. Casino and dining are fab
Wonderful Motel
We didn't tell us that they charged our debit card $200 while we were there in case there were damages so when we got back we found out we were overdrawn with overcharges of $100.00 and we called the Palms to try to find out what was going on and
they said that was standard procedure but we told them we weren't informed about it when we checked in and we had over $100 in overdraft charges and they didn't even offer to make it right or offer a sorry or passes or anything. It made our pleasant stay bitter.
They have food in the hotel if you walk around so you don't have to leave the hotel to eat somewhere else. They also have a movie theater so if you don't want to gamble you can see a movie.
Nice hotel, great casino employees
When we arrived I wasn't impressed with the Casino. It seemed small but the dealers and pit boss's were the nicest we have ever had. They enabled us to have a great time.
Would not recommend
Very nice visit @ the Palms
We selected the Palms for this trip to get off the strip and enjoy some gambling. We found that this hotel is for a much younger crowd ages 18 - 25 maybe. We walked to the Rio and caught the shuttle to Paris each day to enjoy the shows and the
strip. We rode the tram,the bus, & taxi. Many different ways to get around. So much to see and do we will have to go back and stay closer to the strip so we can take in more of what Vegas has to offer.
Las Vegas Trip
everything was perfect.
Book early
Great nightlife hotel
They have great nightlife at the hotel.
Oh Yes! Request the Fantasy Tower!
The best last minute vacation I have ever had. I went by myself and as a single lady I had a blast. The staff and other guests at the hotel were so nice and I felt completely safe. I stayed three days, the pool, nightclubs, restaurants and room
service were all spectacular. I never had to leave the place it was like an all inclusive resort. Not sure what the other tower was like but I stayed in the Playboy tower(Fantasy Tower) with a huge room with sitting area and large bathroom. There was even a jacuzzi tub. I will go back very soon.
The have several nightclubs, bars and lounges in the hotel. Regardless of your style and taste you should have no problems finding your type of "scene".
A Must Stay!
I was only in town for two nights on a layover, but I am so happy I chose to stay at the Palms. The bed was insanely comfortable and clean. The only inconvenient thing about this hotel is the location. It is a ways from the strip.
The sushi place down in the casino is so good!! They have a pear saketini that is to DIE FOR!
A family member of mine had died faster than we all thought. That prompted an unexpected trip to Las Vegas. As Orbitz gives me the prices of hotels, I selected The Palms soley based on price. It wasn't until I arrived in Vegas that I found out
about this first-class resort. From the moment I checked in, the staff was very courteous and professional. I get my room key to stay in the Fantasy Tower, and it was a fantasy indeed. I could feel the smile growing on my face. Bose Wave radio, LCD-TV, down-filled comforter; the works. Spotlessly clean. In fact, the bathroom itself is larger than my home bedroom.
Sad to say, I am very allergic to down-filled pillows, comforters, etc. In the past, it has been a problem to get feathers out of my room as broken promises keep me on the phone to housekeeping. One phone call and one ring, a member of housekeeping answered. Surprising that they answered the phone promptly, imagine my glee when they immediately sent up staff to change my bedding.
The following morning I make it to the fitness room, multiple treadmills, elptical and cycle machines. Free weights, weight machines and plenty of room for several people to get a workout without waiting. The view is over one of the pools. I wonder to myself why would anyone want to leave this resort? Everything is here!
Walking through the casino, I see ads for top billed entertainment stars. The Palms has several clubs and venues.
Room Service was right on time and my breakfast was pipping hot. MY dirty dishes were removed in a timely manor. In fact, I never saw support staff. They are like gnomes who work without you even knowing they are there.
Because of the reason for my trip, I did not get a chance to visit the night clubs. Judging by the number of people dressed up to party, the clubs are the reason The Palms is what it is. In fact, my friends got excited about what I was telling them and has made a trip to Vegas something we want sooner than later.
Yes, this is Vegas and service is suppose to be good. But I have visited Las Vegas before and stayed 'on the strip' only to have poor customer service. A completly different tone at The Palms. I most certintly will be back. The experience I had will make me one of the biggest Palms fan in the world.
Hot spot
Fun; hotel staff was very professional and kind
Restaurants can be very pricey. Pay attention and use the coupons provided in the guest packet.
