Game 2 of Dodgers-Braves draws another pair of aces
Minor looks to regain form as Atlanta aims to knock out Greinke early
ATLANTA -- The Dodgers and Braves continue their best-of-five National League Division Series with an ace-in-the-hole opposing an ace-in-training.
Really, a majority of Major League clubs could send out Zack Greinke or Mike Minor in Game 1 of a postseason and folks wouldn't bat an eye. But the way Clayton Kershaw pitched all season and the way Kris Medlen pitched down the stretch dictated that both of these ballclubs would be trotting out an overqualified No. 2. On paper, it put both clubs in a comfortable position.
Now that we've seen the way Game 1 played out in reality, however, we can safely say the onus in Game 2 (6 p.m. ET Friday, TBS) is now on Minor, especially, to pitch like the ace he has so often resembled in this 2013 season.
"I hate putting labels on guys, especially young guys," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "I think when you've got six, seven years in the big leagues and been successful, that's when I think we should put labels or say this guy is an ace or a No. 1, or you've won some hardware to back it up. But I think Mike Minor is a really, really good pitcher."
Good enough, the Braves hope, to straighten out this series, lest they head west in an often inescapable 0-2 hole.

Why he'll win: Has won 12 of past 14 decisions | Why he'll win: Dominated the Dodgers twice this year |
Pitcher beware: Braves led National League in home runs | Pitcher beware: Has not pitched in the postseason |
Bottom line: Stick to game plan, keep the ball in the park | Bottom line: Forget about rough September, don't get overwhelmed by the moment |
Minor has some straightening out of his own to do, having allowed 18 earned runs in his last 39 innings, in large part because of early aggressiveness from the opposition. The Dodgers will be familiar with those recent results and be more prone to swing early in the count and early in the game.
"Everybody has noticed it," Minor said. "Everybody has talked about it. I throw a lot of strikes, so teams don't want to get deep in the count."
Count this as the latest adjustment Minor will need to make to thrive in this type of setting, and he's already shown the ability to adjust. He's not nearly as prone to the big inning as he was early in his career, and that's why the 5.37 ERA he carried after his first 38 big league starts gave way to a 2.90 ERA in the time since.
Really, the maturation we've witnessed from Minor this season is a little bit reminiscent of the growth in Greinke in his younger days with the Royals. They both fit the mold of the classic right-hander with a four-seam fastball, curveball, slider and changeup. Greinke's got a little more gas in the fastball, but, for both men, the ability to add and subtract and mix and match is essential.
Minor might never ascend to the level Greinke reached in 2009, because, frankly, few do. The point right now is to reach a level in which he's assertive and unflappable on the game's biggest stage.
The Braves didn't carry either of those qualities in Game 1, and that's why they find themselves looking uphill. Gonzalez thought they were "over-amped" Thursday night, and it led to some early defensive issues that made the mountainous assignment of facing Kershaw an even taller task.
Greinke is no short order himself, which is the inherent beauty of the Dodgers' alignment, especially in this short series.
"You feel good when Zack is pitching," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "If we can put some runs up for him and make some plays, we're going to be in a position to at least be in a close game that you've got a chance to win."
The Braves' shutdown bullpen, which was excellent yet again in Game 1, gives them the advantage should Game 2 be a close one late. The Dodgers' lack of a dominant right-handed bridge to closer Kenley Jansen is one weakness the Braves hope to be able to expose in this series.
But they can only expose it if they put together a strong enough offensive effort to knock Greinke out of the game. That kind of effort didn't come in Game 1, even though Atlanta had Kershaw, who needed 77 pitches to get through the first four innings, on the ropes.
Against Greinke it might make sense to be more assertive early. Opponents are batting .255 off him within his first 25 pitches, versus a .242 average in pitches 26-50 and a .192 mark in pitches 51-75. It could be a case Friday night in which you either get to Greinke early or not at all, though it will be interesting to see if Greinke makes any personal adjustments after posting a 6.48 ERA in three starts for the Brewers in the 2011 postseason.
Greinke definitely wasn't planning any changes to his pregame routine.
"Probably just wake up," he said, "get some breakfast and go to the bathroom, come to the field."
How's that for inside baseball?
The Braves are hereby advised to keep it similarly simple, because to dwell on their deficit would be to go down a dark road of thought. They've already essentially surrendered the home-field advantage in this series, but they do have what amounts to an ace on the mound to protect their livelihood at Turner Field -- a ballpark where they were inordinately successful this season -- and even up this series.
"Hopefully we'll come out and play a little better baseball, a little calmed down," Gonzalez said. "It might give us a good opportunity to win the game."

DianneFarmington Hills, MIProblem With NozzleI used to love Klorane dry shampoo. But with the last few containers that I bought, I used it once and when I tried to use it a second time a few days later, it was completly empty. Much too expensive for only one use per can! I hope they fix this problem so I can use it again.posted Jan 2, 2009Link to this post
KristineKs.Klorane Dry ShampooI bought Klorane Dry Shampoo and am very happy with the results. I have read several reviews on different products but finally settled with this one. I have very thick hair and it works great.posted Nov 4, 2008Link to this post
Susan TanabeSalem, ORUsed By All!My sis-in-law introduced me to this; she of short, dark hair - her daughters both use it (one blond, one dark brunette) and I love it (blond going gray). My hair is naturally quite flat & oily, even at 50, so this is used 2x-3x a week...and always with me on vacations. It feels a bit funky by the end of the day, but worth it. My daughter (half Japanese; dark, thick hair) is not so fond of it as she feels it shows even after brushing...so I think it is best with thinner hair. Also great for a touch-up before going out on a hot summers evening.posted Apr 28, 2008Link to this post
KristenMarylandBest Dry Shampoo But Dries Up After Only A Few UsesI absolutely love this dry shampoo but after buying it 3 times and having it evaporate after only using it a few times I would not recommend it. It works amazingly well but you only get to use it a few times and for the money it isnt worth it. Until they can change the defect and not have it evaporate I would find some other dry shampoo to use.posted Apr 18, 2008Link to this post
AnonymousSan Francisco, CARip Off..Dont waste your money. I ordered this product and literally used it LIGHTLY 2 times. The third time I tried to use it, the bottle was completely empty. I would have easily expected 12-15 uses out of this product. Will never buy it again.posted Apr 7, 2008Link to this post
Anonymous$16 For One Use Only!?!Do NOT purchase this product. I paid $16 and only got one use out of it. Thought maybe my roommate had finished off the rest so I bought another can. Same thing--used it once (hid it from my roomie) and the next day there wasnt any product left! No website or customer service number to call and complain either.BTW, the dry shampoo itself freshened up my hair but b/c Im a brunette it was difficult to brush all the white powder out. You have to be careful to get it out or youll look like you have a powdered wig on!posted Mar 20, 2008Link to this post
KateBoise, IDOnly Lasted For Two Uses!!I just got this in the mail from Folica a week ago. I used it two times with pretty good results, but I went back for a 3rd application... and the bottle is empty! It didnt feel empty before, its like the rest of it somehow evaporated out of the can!? From the reviews I can see im not the only one this has happened to. I am a super busy college student and thought this would save me time but all it did was waste my money. I seriously regret buying this.posted Mar 8, 2008Link to this post
GiselaSanta Monica, CaliforniaBest Dry Shampoo!!I have oily hair that does not looks clean after a day. I use Klorane every other day and my hair looks polished and above all, I have confidence in my looks. I highly recommend it.Tip; after applying it, tap with a little towel to take the excess of. Then brush.posted Mar 3, 2008Link to this post
MicheleBrooklyn, NYGreat ProductI loved this product. Works great and much better than having to use a regular shampoo every day. Only negative is the can is a bit small and only lasted 2-3 wks. And considering I dont use it every day, that really shows how small it is. Recommend buying more than one bottle at a time.posted Feb 27, 2008Link to this post

I also thought that the Avenged Sevenfold video was just stupid and insulting... I effin love metal/rock, but I don't like Avenged Sevenfold. It was ridiculous to see Woods play the drums, but just for a few seconds. Besides that, it was stupid and unnessecary. I'd rather have it removed from the game but who am I to $#@! around about such a small detail.
All in all, the SP campaign of COD Black Ops 2 was nice, but Black Ops 1... I somehow liked it more because the mind-control thing was the central theme of the game. I thought they'd expand and build on this theme, but no... There is some mind control going on (Mason, hello! funny that the Black Ops series' protagonists' name is Mason - Alex and David Mason) with David as well but it wasn't as good as in Black Ops 1. But to be honest, the bad guy and the conflict involving him was well done, and I liked the cutscenes and cinematic moments with Menendez. They were well done. Menendez was always focused, even when he was freaking out and screaming or wounding/killing people and with his subtle smile, he was both sympathic/likeable and creepy at the same time.
Menendez isn't really a "bad" guy, you know. He's a tortured soul. He just snapped and totally lost it. He's crazy, that's all. It surprised me that they made him like this, because the rest of the game is full of generic propaganda.
Overall, I'd say Black Ops 2 is one of the best CODs. COD4, Black Ops and Black Ops 2 had the best SP campaigns. I loved the club level... that was nice. Everybody likes it because it's so well presented. In COD4, the Chernobyl sniper mission was the most memorable, and in Black Ops 1, it was... well not the levels, but the theme of mind-control and that interrogation room where Mason was held, drugged and well... interrogated (/tortured).

I told myself I would not buy any more cod games, but the positive reviews of the SP changed my mind. WHAT A MISTAKE. I got about 2 hours into it and shut it off. The graphics are awful. Controls like all COD games are $#@!. The player has no weight to him at all. It plays like your arms are gun weigh less than a feather. I am baffled on how this game is so damn popular, when games like KZ3 and Starhawk are overlooked so much. Granted starhawk is not a fps, but it's still a great game that sold like $#@!. All these companies are doing is creating new maps and using a really dated engine. Same $#@! year after year and people still buy it like it's prints money from your console. You can play every single cod game since cod4 side by side and they all look and play the same. It would be like Rovio releasing Angry birds again with different different color grass and sky and selling like crazy. It makes no sense to me. The good news is because I bought the game at kmart, they gave me $15 to use towards another game (Hitman Absolution). I am selling this POS on Craigslist for $45. No more COD for me until they use a new engine.

Haven't finished but those strike missions are terrible. I'm enjoying the campaign so far.
Focus. Control. Conviction. Resolve. A true ace lacks none of these attributes. Nothing can deter you from the task at hand except your own fears. This is your sky.

I really enjoyed the campaign missions, but hated that the strike force missions helped the campaign go better, but those $#@!ing sucked. I hated em. Only did one of them. My second play through, I did every strike force mission.
I did like how the ending can be done differently. I played through twice to get the golden ending.

Just completed it today and rewound the missions to make afew alternate decisions. I was really impressed, thoroughly enjoyed it and rather than just the ending being different from decisions made, it has an effect throughout the rest of the game which adds abit more variety.
With the strike force missions, I struggled to complete them using the top down view ordering teams here and there so ended up just controller a soldier and clearing the objectives myself with the occasional use of holding L2 if I needed some back up with a squad. I found this way much easier to complete them.
Was gutted Reznov wasn't in it other than a token gesture appearance, he was my fave character from the first Black Ops and would have liked him to have been involved abit more, especially with how often they referred to the whole soviet brain wash of Maison etc.
Overall though I was chuffed with it, would have liked a bit more stealth when infiltrating afew locations and would have liked to have used the cloak device that some enemies had.
Could sit through another playthrough quite easily as I always pick up on something I may have missed during the first or second sitting

I completed the SP twice and did things differently each time, got the two different endings although there are some things you can do which also result in either having some of the characters around...
I intend to complete the original Black Ops on Veteran, something I did not do the first time plus I have fragmented memory regarding the first Sp story.Gaming on all platforms right now.

Mailbox for iPhone aims to reinvent the way you manage your inbox
Mailbox for iPhone is a brand new email app that's primary purpose is to let you focus on the messages that matter right now and store away the ones that don't. The Mailbox project seems to draw inspiration from both task management philosophies like Getting Things Done, and email management philosophies like Inbox Zero. Through a list of gestures, swipes, and taps, you quickly filter through emails and drill down to the content that matters right that minute, without being distracted by the rest.
When you first launch Mailbox for iPhone, you'll be asked to sign into your Gmail account. Yes, that means Mailbox will have access to your Gmail. That's how it does its magic. If you have concerns about that access, you're better off with a regular email client like Apple's own Mail.app.
You'll also need a reservation code and private number in order to gain access. We're assuming this will change at some point once server load on their end balances out, but for now, it could be a long wait for some users.
Reservation line aside, once you actually gain access to Mailbox and sign into your accounts, you'll be given a brief overview of how to navigate around the app itself. You'll spend a majority of your time in the main Mailbox menu. This is a combined list of all the Gmail inboxes you currently have set up on your iPhone. Along the top you have 5 icons. The first menu icon pulls out the side menu and lets you drill down to items such as settings, adding new mailboxes, or viewing individual inboxes on their own. The far right icon is a compose icon, exactly where you'd expect to find it.
The middle three icons go together and work with the Gmail label system. The first are items that you've marked as later, the next is your inbox as it sits right now, and the last is completed items. This is where items will get sent as you manipulate them in your inbox and move them around. This is where Mailbox really starts to excel over other mail clients as it takes advantage of the built-in labeling system that Gmail offers.
Basically, you start by opening your inbox like you would on any other client, but the way you interact with your messages is very different. Your main inbox within Mailbox for iPhone is meant to be used for tasks and messages that need your immediate attention. If a message comes in that can wait, simply start sliding to the left and a time icon will appear. Release your finger and you'll then be asked to schedule a time that you'd like the message to appear in your main inbox again. After you've completed a task, start sliding to the right until you see a green checkmark and it will be moved to the completed section.
Mailbox also has support for archiving messages. This is where swipe gestures are really handy. Just like you would slide your finger to the right over a message to mark for later, if you continue sliding your finger across the message even further, you'll then see an icon for archive or delete, if that's how you have your Gmail inbox set up. Sliding all the way in the opposite direction brings up the list feature. Again, this integrates with Gmail labels and allows you to mark messages as tasks. The defaults are to buy, to read, and to watch. You can also create new list items, aka labels that will sync up to your Gmail inbox.
The combination of gestures and swipes within Mailbox make it easy to quickly clear out your inbox and focus only on the messages that matter right at that moment. Anything that you've marked for later will appear back in the main inbox at that time. The badge count on the Mailbox app only focuses on items that are either unopened or still in your main inbox. The badge will update accordingly when you sort messages out or into the main inbox or when you receive new messages. Mailbox supports push notifications which means you'll see notifications as soon as they arrive.
While Mailbox is a great way to stay organized and on task, the Gmail only support option may limit some users that use other options such as iCloud. While we understand why Mailbox took that role considering the label system that Gmail provides, it's still a little disappointing to not see any other options available.
The most intriguing thing about Mailbox is the way it handles messages. Instead of dumping things into folders that you may or may not remember to go back to later, Mailbox will do the heavy lifting for you and move them back at the time you've designated. If you like to answer personal emails at night and only deal with work matters during the day, Mailbox will make it easy to stay focused and on task without distraction.
The good
- The overall design is stunning
- Push notifications are extremely fast, sometimes even beating the native iOS Mail app by several seconds
- The gesture driven interface makes it quicker to sort through messages than traditional folders and tapping to delete or move methods
- You can add labels almost as fast as you can mark a message as complete
- Moving messages back to the inbox when you need to read them may be invaluable to forgetful individuals
The bad
- The reservation line is extremely long at this point and users could wait a while in order to get in
- Not ideal for inboxes that involve multiple users
- Sometimes it can be easy to accidentally swipe on a message when scrolling
- Gmail only support, which rules out anyone with an iCloud email for their primary email
The bottom line
Mailbox for iPhone has an elegant interface and an amazing underlying concept. If Gmail is your primary email client, Mailbox is better in every way than any other option out there. Everything from the interface to the way messages are handled through automatically creating labels within the app just works. The gestures are easy enough to get used to and you'll find yourself flicking and swiping through emails in no time.
However, there are times and situations where Mailbox won't be ideals, such as collaborative inboxes. If there are multiple people accessing any one Gmail account, using Mailbox could become a challenge and confusing to people that aren't using it. Then there's always that issue that if you don't use Gmail, you won't have the option to use the service and we aren't sure if there are future plans to add other clients.
If neither of these two problems apply to you, Mailbox for iPhone is currently one of the best ways to manage, sort, and interact with your messages.

9thWonder. If it was just released to everyone at once and they had issues because of strong demand would you be one of the people trashing them for releasing an app that was "half baked"? Obviously they are trying to do a controlled release to work out any bugs as they go in order to avoid chaos. I believe this is how gmail was initially rolled out. They obviously care about user experience and getting it right. I'm sure a couple of days wait won't be that big of a deal.
It was released to everyone at once. That's why it's in the app store. And if they release a shit app then they would deserve to get trashed. As of ow it's just an app that nobody knows if you can use cause nobody can actually use it. So i can't tell if it's actually good or crap. But If they got bugs do your beta testing before you put it in the app store and just do updates like everyone else so i got no sympathy for them. I'm sure any half way decent app maker cares about user experience, but i downloaded the app, i'm a user. And my user experience is utter crap because the app is literally of no use to me. Plus i don't know what the issue is. you release. What are they working out that's so affected by the amount of users?
Besides, It's an email app. Why do they need codes to access. Is it hooking into some other server other than google. If so that's a major issue too. Is that what they are afraid of? That it will crash their servers? Are they looking to mine my email for data? hmm. The more i think about why they'd have any reason to control access the more sketchy this app sounds.
Regardless they released an app to an app store that barely anyone can get access to using so if they get crap ratings it's their fault for being stupid. They are naive to expect great reviews of the user experience if the people downloading can't use it. Good luck to em though.
The developers of Mailbox have clarified that due to the limitations of iOS which does not allow running tasks at all time in background, Mailbox's servers actually keep track of all the emails for you, they parse through all emails you get, extract just the text, compress it and then send it to your device which causes it opens up a lot quicker!
Also push notifications require considerable resources, if they give 300,000+ people access at the same time, the system would not be able to manage it and it won't work for anyone! The only way of a staged roll out was to have a reservation system.
already uninstalled it. but it's a free country and i'm free to speak my view as much as i want. once, or one thousand times. So you move on. Don't like what i have to say? I don't care. And i'm perfectly free to slate people that offer a product to the public that provides no user experience. They've put their product in the out their. I'm free to criticize it from now until the end of time. deal.
I totally agree with you on that point. If they couldn't manage so many users and didn't have enough resources why make the app free? Had they kept it paid, people who are actually interested would've bought it anyways. What they did frustrates people and seems unfair to those who would actually use the app considering there will be many who would just reserve a spot for trying out what the fuss is about and delete it after a few minutes.
I don't get it, it you slowly let people on to your server, can you serve handle the load once everyone is on it?

My giant zucchini that I picked from my garden today inspired me to try a new zucchini recipe. I have tons of zucchini recipes on my site that I rotate frequently but I've never tried baking bread with it. I found this recipe on Eating Well and reduced the sugar to 1 cup. This recipe replaced most of the fat with apple sauce so it's low in fat, yet is very moist. If you don't like nuts, you can replace them with chocolate chips.
Chocolate Zucchini Bread
Servings: 16 slices • Serving Size: 1 slice • Old Points: 4 pts • Points+: 4 pts
Calories: 190.4 • Fat: 8.1 g • Protein: 4.1 g • Carb: 27.8 g • Fiber: 2.4 g • Sugar: 14.4 g
Sodium: 147 mg
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole-wheat flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa, preferably Dutch-process
- 1/2 tsp baking powder

Tuesday's six-pack Six of the more interesting football games this coming weekend........ -- USC @ UCLA-- Jim Mora Jr's first shot at the Trojans. -- Kansas State @ Baylor-- Wildcats have to beat Bears/Texas to play for an unlikely national title. -- Vanderbilt is favored over Tennessee for third time in last five years, but they're still just 1-13 in last 14 series games. -- Colts @ Patriots-- In May, no one thought this would be a big game. -- Chargers @ Broncos-- Norv Turner's last stand. -- Ravens @ Steelers-- Roethlisberger has a bum shoulder; could be a long night for Byron Leftwich.
Make post sticky on:
Tuesday's List of 13: Nobody asked me, but........... 13) Seven SEC football teams are playing I-AA foes this weekend. 7 out of 14; half the SEC. Is it some kind of holiday I don't know about? 12) Georgia made the SEC football title game, so coach Mark Richt cashes in a $150,000 contract bonus; hope he at least buys the players pizza to thank them. 11) Kentucky beat Maryland by 3 in Brooklyn in large part because of a smallish former walk-on named Jarrod Polson, who got one scholarship offer, from Liberty of the Big South Conference. Go figure. Wildcats play Duke tonight, in feature game of the ESPN college hoops marathon. 10) Fresno State scored three defensive TDs Saturday night in Reno; don't see that too often in college ball. 9) NCAA basketball Eastern Regionals will be in Madison Square Garden in 2014, first time NCAAs have been in MSG since 1961. 8) Pac-12 basketball tournament in March is in Las Vegas, at MGM Grand; interesting to see how that event draws, but for the other 10 teams, guess its better than going to LA every March. 7) Three college hoop games on ships were a debacle this year; only one was actually finished, and that game was awful because of the wind. Still, there will be games on ships next year. There has to be better way to honor the military than holding games under poor playing conditions. 6) If you're a night owl and like golf, Australian Masters is this weekend, so that'll be fun. Golf Channel has the action. 5) Speaking of which, Camilo Villegas/Stuart Appleby are both headed back to Q School, thats how competitive the PGA Tour is. Appleby has won nine PGA tournaments in his long career. 4) Jeremy Lin is first Harvard graduate to play in the NBA since 1954. 3) Clippers/Lakers both played at home Sunday; would love to know how many people were at both games. 2) Funny how the Knicks canned Mike D'Antoni because their so-called superstar wouldn't play hard for him, but the Lakers signed him up to be their coach, because Steve Nash/Kobe Bryant like playing for him. Not too hard to see why the Knicks' last title was in 1973, when they had a reserve forward named Jackson. #18, Phil Jackson. 1) Watching all this NBA coaching news, something tells me Phil Jackson didn't really want to coach the Lakers, so he kept asking for stuff until they looked elsewhere. Didn't want to turn his girlfriend down, but didn't want to work for her daddy/brother anymore.
could be with Phil, but then why did he complain to the media when the Lakers hired d'antoni?
In case you missed this on yesterdays post - The Worst of Week Ten from the Express Let's get on with the worst of the week where the Redskins and Browns didn't play. Elisha Manning - OK, buddy, I keep defending you and you continue to make me look like a jerk. This is now 4 terrible games in a row for the more decorated of the Manning Bros. His interceptions keep getting DERP-ier every week. I guess what I'm trying to say here is: We Want David Carr! The 2012 Miami Dolphins - Oof, they're playing like they acquired all of Chuck Pagano's leukemia last week. How do you lose by 5 touchdowns at home to the Titans??? The 1972 Miami Dolphins - I still hate them. What the fuck was Roddy White doing talking about how his Falcons have the pedigree to go undefeated? How do you know this? You played at UAB and then for the Falcons; what do you know know about going undefeated and what that feat requires? Shut up, Hot Rod. Fatty Fatty Fat Fat Stafford - The Lions are officially toast. How do you lose to the Vikings twice in one year. It's over for me once again. I would really like to see Chins not constantly throw off his back foot. That would be nice. Cmon Man. Just when I thought I was back in it, they pull me right back out of it. Donkey Kong Suh - Back-to-back champion at being named the dirtiest player in the league. In a sport that features Cortland Finnegan, James Harrison, and Ryan Clark, that is quite an accomplishment. Ryan Fitzpatrick - Even after his great "acting" on The League last week, Harvard Boy followed it up by doing what he does best: toying with the emotions of Bills fans and then chucking a horrible interception to lose a very winnable game. The Bills are awful. Philip Rivers - Did you see the pick six that Marmalard floated? It will be nominated for LOL Play of the Year. Muscle Hamster - Doug Martin hates his nickname. Fuck him. Now it will forever be his. I only list him here because when he doesn't score 4 touchdowns, I am disappointed. Tampa Bay = not bad. Cam Newton - An awful pick six AND a terrible safety? Yeah, he beat the Redskins last week. I loved the blue socks that the Panthers wore though. John HarBRAH - Is there a more BRAH thing to do than run a fake FG when your team is up by over 20 points in the second half against a horrid Raiders team? Oh, he and Jimmy will be laughing about that one for awhile the next time they get together and punch each other in the nuts. Rex Ryan - You so fired, big guy. Don't worry, the Redskins will be replacing Jim Haslett with you in no time. I hope that you like coaching really bad players! Mike Vick's mind grapes - Good night to you, too, slightly more talented version of Marcus Vick. Everyone was happy to see Vick finally get benched, but guess what, Nick Foles is worse. The Eagles are fucking terrible. They gave up THREE D/ST touchdowns to the least disciplined team in the league. They couldn't even hang around long enough for Romo to DERP into another loss. The Redskins are better than the Eagles. FACT!
Marcus Vick had no ability to play on the pro level!
Wrapping up an NFL Sunday from last week.......... 13) I'm thinking to myself, if I owned an NFL franchise, four most important people to hire would be: a) personnel guy, b) head coach, c) QB, d) trainer. For some reason, Carolina let a really good head coach walk two years ago, in a cost-cutting move. Not very smart. John Fox came back to Charlotte Sunday, and his Broncos waxed Carolina 36-14, getting a punt return for a TD and a defensive score. Denver is going to be in the playoffs; the Fox-less Panthers? The draft is in April. 12) Denver's Trindon Holliday ran that punt back for a TD, but being a cool guy/showoff, he flipped the ball to the ground as soon as he thought he was across the goal line. Problem is, he wasn't in the end zone yet when he did it. Luckily for Bronco backers, the replay official let the play stand, which begs the question....... "What percentage of replay officals are competent, and what percentage just collect an easy paycheck?" Some guys seem reluctant to review/overturn any call. Its a fair question. 11) Tampa Bay scored TDs on a blocked punt and an INT, beating the Chargers in a game they were outgained 426-279. San Diego isn't going to make the playoffs; rumors have Andy Reid replacing Norv Turner as San Diego's coach next year. 10) Speaking of Reid, the Eagles became the first team since 1966 to give up TDs on a fumble, INT and punt return in the same quarter. Nick Foles played his first significant snaps after Michael Vick got hurt. If he is the Eagles' future, likely it'll be playing for a different head coach. 9) Favorites are 6-7 in NFL so far this week; home teams 6-7, over 8-5. Teams that were +2 or better in turnovers were 7-0 this week, 6-1 against the spread (NE). Teams that had a 10+yard edge in field position were 5-0-1, with only the 49ers not winning. 8) Speaking of which, the first tie since 2008 took place at Candlestick, with the Rams-49ers battling to a draw for five quarters in a game that was fiercely competitive, if not always well-played. 7) Tennessee owner Bud Adams ripped his club last week after they got waxed at home by the Bears, so Titans went to Miami and pounded on the Dolphins, who apparently are more comfortable as the underdog. 6) Tom Brady is now 20-2 as a starter against the Bills. Buffalo had 14 penalties for 148 yards, including four pass interference penalties, three in the end zone. Bills had one PI penalty in their first eight games. Hmmm 5) Cincinnati had four TD drives in their easy win against the Giants; they were 79-11-12-16 yards. Eli Manning hasn't thrown a TD pass in his last three games, first time thats happened to him since his first month as an NFL quarterback. You go -3 in turnovers, you get beat. 4) Atlanta just can't beat the Saints, especially in Superdome; not good, considering the Super Bowl is in New Orleans this year. Falcons had ball on the 1-yard line second-and-goal at the end, but threw two passes and lost to a team they always seem to lose to. 3) Sunday night was a graphic example of why God invented Field Turf; playing surface at Soldier Field was a mess, players couldn't cut properly on it, which made for a crummy game. Poor weather cities need artificial turf-- NFL made the Patriots get it, could the Bears be next? 2) Seahawks play with so much more confidence at home. 1) I see guys on fantasy baseball teams miss half a season with a pulled hamstring; Danny Amendola was a warrior Sunday, with 11 catches for 102 yards, three punt returns for 14 yards, another 142 all-purpose yards nullified by penalty, including an 80-yard catch in OT. All this six weeks after he separated his collarbone from whatever the collarbone is supposed to be attached to. He has to be in agony today. Tough guy.
By the way, killed it again with the Spooky picks for the week. Even cashed in the BetDSI NFL contest once again. Been a really good NFL season for Spooky
Wednesday's List of 13: Our football Lists for a Wednesday...... 4) Alabama-- Wouldn't be stunning to see them wind up in national title game, even after they lost to Texas A&M. 3) Notre Dame-- Lost eight of last nine games with USC, but did win last visit to LA; need to beat Trojans to stay alive for national title. 2) Kansas State-- At Baylor, Texas at home; win those two, and its off to an unlikely national title shot. Bill Snyder is an amazing coach. 1) Oregon-- Chip Kelly will be in the NFL soon. 9) Buccaneers-- Scored 36-42-34 points in last three games. 8) Steelers-- Hanging on this list by Big Ben's strained shoulder ligament; if he is out for a while, they'll struggle to make playoffs. 7) 49ers-- Lack offensive balance with mobile Kaepernick at QB. 6) Ravens-- Scored TD on fake FG with 41-17 lead vs Raiders, late in third quarter. Harbaughs don't care who they offend. 5) Packers-- They beat Texans/Bears, needed bye to get healthier. 4) Bears-- Jason Campbell deserves a year where everything goes his way; this could be his chance, with Cutler having a concussion. 3) Broncos-- John Fox got his Christmas present last spring. Number 18. 2) Falcons-- Baffling why they seem to gag against rival Saints. 1) Texans-- Road to AFC title should go through Houston.
Thursday's six-pack Some NFL trends, with Week 11 on the horizon........ -- Redskins are 10-21-3 in their last 34 home games. -- Miami covered 11 of last 14 divisional road games. -- Dallas failed to cover its last six home games. -- Packers covered their last six post-bye games. -- Denver covered its last five games as a favorite. -- Bears are 5-1-1 vs spread in last seven Monday night games.
Thursday's List of 13: Doing some thinking out loud.......... 13) Mike Redmond got hired to manage the Marlins a week or two ago; he never managed above A ball. Wonder if he knew he was still going to be managing a minor league team next season, just one that plays in a great stadium against big league teams. Poor guy is going to have a long summer. 12) When it comes to contract obligations for 2014 and beyond, Marlins have $0 on the books, as in, zero. Think about the Bronx Bombers owing Alex Rodriguez $114M over the next five years. Who would you rather be? 11) If they ever decide to contract franchises, Marlins are team they need to cut. Put Mr Loria out of business, move the A's to Miami and two problems would be solved. That would be crazy sick since Im living here in Florida now. 10) ESPN.com reports that players traded from Miami to Toronto should wind up paying roughly 14% more taxes on the money they earn in home games, roughly 45% of their salary. No decent free agent will sign with Miami anymore unless they get a no-trade clause. 9) Tigers signed Torii Hunter for two years; you have an 80+year old owner, a 69-year old manager and Hunter just doesn't seem that old. In other words, the future is now in Detroit. 8) Spring training starts earlier next year because of the goofy World Baseball Classic; can't wait to see which pitchers get hurt during the regular season because they pitched in this meaningless exhibition that is designed to "grow the game", a euphemism for "put more money in the pockets of greedy MLB owners". Braves' first spring training game is a ridiculously early February 22. 7) I'm thinking the site of the Final Four should host a doubleheader to tip off every college hoop season in mid-November. This week's event in Atlanta was excellent; do it every year, wherever the Final Four is being held, just have different teams every year. 6) Gonzaga looked really sharp Monday night; trick is to maintain that for the next 4.5 months. Teams like West Virginia and Butler, who looked awful this week, will use losing badly as a learning tool and will gradually improve as the season goes on. 5) If you watch Celtic games on NESN, you hear analyst Tommy Heinsohn, who is so bad he makes Hawk Harrelson sound like Vin Scully. Not sure how they keep putting him on the air. 4) Over last two games, Alabama's football team didn't force a turnover (-5), while allowing opponents to convert 21-38 3rd down plays. Hard to beat good teams like that, even if you're better than they are. 3) Mike Brown's salary for this year (for not working) is $4.5M; Mike D'Antoni will make $4M, but combined its still less than if the Lakers had hired Jeannie Buss' boyfriend (Phil Jackson), who would've commanded a $12M/year salary. 2) It bears repeating that Brown got fired after five games, during which time Nash-Bryant-Gasol-Howard were on court together for a combined total of 45:00, less than one game. How do you fire a guy that fast? Brown gets fired, but assistant Eddie Jordan, who got hired to teach the Lakers the Princeton offense which helped cause this whole debacle, he gets to stay. Whats up with that? 1) First a sex scandal in the US Army, now the CEO of Waffle House is in hot water because he can't keep his pants on. What the hell's going on out there?
Week 11 NFL Analysis Dolphins (4-5) @ Bills (3-6)-- Two fading teams who really need a win. Miami won six of last eight series games, winning last two played here, 15-10/30-23; Fish are 4-0 when they win turnover margin, 0-5 when they don't. Bills haven't had takeaway in last three games (-6); they're 0-6 when they allow more than 17 points.

Two teams with similar records going in opposite directions; Jets lost last three games, last two by 58-16 combined score. Only Jet TD last week was scored by defense. Rams are 0-3-1 in last four games, but tied 49ers at Candlestick last week, showing improvement.

Colts are playing inspired ball with HC Pagano ill; they've won/covered last four games, are 4-2 as underdogs, 1-2 on road, but two of their three losses were by 20-26 points (also lost to Jags by 5). Patriots won last two series games (31-28/31-24) after losing five of previous six to Indy; last seven series games were decided by 7 or less points.

Jaguars lost last six games (2-4 vs spread); they're 4-0 as road underdogs, losing away games by 3-3-9 points, with win at Indy- they had three extra days to prepare.

Chiefs allowed 24+ points in seven of nine games, losing 16-13 in slop in OT at Pittsburgh Monday- they have three TDs on last 55 drives, but finally had a lead on Monday.

Saints (4-5) @ Raiders (3-6)-- Oakland gave up 42-55 points last two games (12 TDs allowed on last 27 drives) now explosive Saints come to town; if Freeman, Flacco averaged 7.6/10.0 ypa, what will Brees get? Oakland is 2-2 at home, with last three of those going over total; Raiders allowed average of 29.5 ppg at home this year. Saints won four of last five games; they're 1-3 on road, with only win by 7 at Tampa Bay- they covered last three tries as a favorite.

Steelers are 4-0 at home, allowing average of 12.3 ppg; in last three games overall, they've allowed three TDs on 31 drives. Ravens are +9 in turnovers; they're 2-2 on road, woth wins over Browns, Chiefs, maybe two worst teams in NFL. Ravens scored TD on defense/special teams in four of seven wins.

Last four Pittsburgh games stayed under total; three of last four Raven games went over.

NFC West non-divisional home favorites are 4-3 vs spread; NFC North road underdogs are 1-3.
As I posted on the college football thread forgot to post my NFL pick last night as well and of course I mention it cause it was a winner also. But hopefully some jumped on Buffalo or a pretty easy win. Friday's List of 13: Things I'm looking for this weekend....... 13) Andrew Luck's first genuinely big game as Colts' QB, in Foxboro. When schedule came out last spring, no one thought this would be a big game anymore, but it is. 12) Kansas State's last road game is at Baylor; win there, then beat Texas and its off to play for a national championship. 11) Chargers had a 24-0 halftime lead first time they played the Broncos; they lost 35-24. This is Norv Turner's last stand coaching San Diego- they won't make playoffs if they lose here. Broncos covered their last five games as a favorite. 10) Are there any polls that recognize Ohio State, even though they're on probation? If there are, Buckeyes have shot at a mythical national title. This is very tough game for them, at Wisconsin. 9) Jets and Brian Schottenheimer parted ways after last season; now they meet up again, with Mark Sanchez in a funk, having been blanked by his college coach last week. Now he faces his old coordinator. Rams are 3-0 in games where spread is 3 or less points. 8) Jim Mora Jr gets his first shot at crosstown rival USC; you get idea the gap between Bruins-Trojans is getting smaller, but until UCLA beats them couple times, LA is still the Trojans' town. 7) Red Sox are right now worst team in AL East, by far; supposedly they tried to get in on the Marlins' fire sale, but didn't get a deal done. When are they going to make moves, and what will they be? Would make sense if they panicked and threw a pile of cash at free agent OF Josh Hamilton. Not sure it would work out well, but it would quiet people. 6) Oakland Raiders gave up 42-55 points last two weeks, now Drew Brees and the Saints come to town; good luck there. New Orleans gets back to .500 with win here. 5) Vanderbilt is favored over Tennessee for third time in last five years, but they're 1-13 in last 14 series games. Much like Norv Turner in Denver, this could be Derek Dooley's last stand with the Vols. 4) Clippers beat Miami Wednesday, host the Bulls Saturday and visit San Antonio Monday; tough stretch of games. How is it as soon as Grant Hill leaves Phoenix, he's out hurt again? What is it about the Suns' trainers that kept him healthy those years in the desert? In five years with Phoenix, Hill played in 91.7% (362 of 392) Suns' games; he hasn't played in any of the Clippers' eight games this year. In six years in Orlando, the six years before Phoenix, he played in 32.0% (131-410) of Magic's games. Suns' trainers must be pretty good. 3) Ravens at Steelers is always a big game, with Roethlisberger out this week, tough game for Steelers to win. Whats up with Baltimore running a fake FG last week, when they led 41-17 late in third quarter? 2) This Saturday used to be Rivalry Saturday in college football, the best day of the whole year, including New Year's Day; the BCS nonsense and the expansion of the season finished all that, to point where half the SEC is playing I-AA teams this week. Seriously; 20 years ago, this week was the end of the regular season in college ball, except for 10-12 rivalry games Thanksgiving weekend. 1) Alex Smith is expected to play Monday night; not so sure about Jay Cutler. Bears' two losses this year are at night; they haven't beaten 49ers in Candlestick since 1985.

I bought this mattress set for my guest bedroom after spending a lot of time shopping around for a mattress set that was both good quality but inexpensive. It's apparently relatively difficult to find a new mattress set (mattress AND boxspring) that is comfortable and of good quality for under $$$, but eventually I saw this one online and decided to try it. When the mattress and boxspring arrived, I noticed that the mattress was very light. At first I was worried, because the mattress was easy to push off of the box spring due to this light weight. However, my concern went away when I tried out the mattress. It has a nice plush pillow top, but is firm enough underneath so that you don't sink down far below the plush part. It is very comfortable. I've had 3 couples visit and use this bed so far (one couple in their 60s, the others in their late 20s or early 30s), and every one of them said that the bed was comfortable. One important thing to know is that the mattress is one-sided. The bottom is a flat surface made of woven fibers, and cannot be used to sleep on. This is probably what keeps the cost of the mattress down, since the top of the mattress appears to be of good quality. Another random thing is that the mattress set made my guest bedroom smell sweet, kind of like maple syrup, for a few weeks. I don't know why it smelled like this, but the smell went away after the set aired out for long enough.
I was looking for a relatively soft, well-priced mattress, and I purchased this one based on the positive reviews. Unfortunately, the mattress is extremely low quality. While it is soft, it is also squishy- your hips and lower back sink deeply into the mattress while the rest of you remains on top, causing extreme back pain (and I'm pretty thin, so I imagine it would be even worse for someone heavier). I've never had back pain in my life, but after 2 weeks sleeping on this mattress I have woken up with horrible lower back pain every day. It was so bad that I just bought a new mattress entirely.
I really love this bed! Once I get in bed, I am out like a light and wake up feeling well rested and ready for the day. I never realized that a bed could affect how I feel the rest of the day. The shipping was great as well. I recieved white glove service where the delivery company took my old bed and set up the new one. Overall, I had a great experience and am extremely happy.
we purchased this mattress for our guest bdrm and we couldn't be more ecstatic! delivery was wonderful, and the mattress is very comfortable! it's also very light for a queen size, which i knew from reading a review prior to purchasing. i lifted it off the bed myself when i had to put the bedskirt on, which is saying something. i was very proud of myself!
This bed is in my guest bedroom. All of my guests that have slept on this bed said it was very comfortable and they had a great night sleep. I would recommend this bed highly.
I've had the mattress now for about a year and it is still very comfortable and is holding up great! Great mattress for a great price. They delivered it right to my door and set it up as well. Very happy with my purchase!
The mattress wasn't anything special. It did what it was supposed to. The problem is it started sagging within less than a year, and trying to get them to honor their warranty is a joke. My advice: Don't buy it. Not worth the money. And the sad thing is, I didn't even do anything crazy with it. And, I know it wasn't just me. I only weigh like 145lbs. I would not recommend anything by Simmons to anyone. Period.
Great mattress for the price. Bought it for our guest room.
I was a little hesistant to purchase a mattress online. But after reading the great reviews I decided to go ahead. Im so glad I did. I was given a call a few days before the delivery to confirm a delivery date and was called the day before with a 4 hour time frame with which they were going to deliver the mattress The white glove delivery service was excellent. They took my old mattress and box spring away. The matress itself is very comfy. My husband and I were having back problems with our old mattress and since purchasing this new mattress we have not had any problems. Its not too soft and not too firm. It feels just right. I would definitely recommend this mattress.
This mattress is horrible it's hard as a rock and I haven't slept but one time on it And that was a bad idea .. Don't buy

Midwest Living Review
Lucky's Cafe in Tremont is one of our favorite breakfast spots in Cleveland. Ingredients come from local farms or the on-site garden, and chef-owner Heather Haviland is an accomplished baker, making all of the restaurant's bread and pastries in-house. Put all that together, and add a pinch of foodie flair, and you have a delicious menu that gives down-home breakfast standards deliciously modern personality. On the savory side of the equation, you'll find Lucky's legendary cheddar and scallion biscuits topped with from-scratch (even the meat) sausage gravy. For people with a sweet tooth, Heather serves up waffles smothered in honey whipped cream, strawberry-rhubarb compote and caramel sauce. Don't worry about the maple syrup; you'll never miss it. For being such a seemingly casual place, the kitchen is quite strict about substitutions, but our pint-size reviewers enjoyed the kid's plate with cheesy eggs, toast and fruit. Tremont is Cleveland's original urban-artist hangout, and Lucky's fits that stereotype. The bright, casual restaurant is in a converted 19th-century house, and servers are friendly hipsters in skinny jeans. If the weather's nice, sit outside, where shaded picnic tables offer nice views of the garden, sidewalk traffic and a colorful sunflower mural where you can peek through a hole to pose for a picture. Lucky's gets busy, especially in winter when the patio isn't available; the brunch line usually heats up around 11 a.m. or even earlier on Sundays.

I am also a new system administrator for the student group HKN. I'd appreciate any help and advice from more experienced sysadmins. We use mostly Linux systems, but we do occasionally have to do maintenance on a couple of Windows boxes.

Jim Stump explores the meaning of the Lenten season from the perspective of evolutionary creation.

Jim Stump explores the meaning of the Lenten season from the perspective of evolutionary creation.
When non-believers in France or in Spain read what young-earth creationists are writing about evolution, geology, or astrophysics, they frequently conclude that the Bible is at best an interesting fairy tale.
The story of the Genesis Rock reminds us of how biblical and scientific accounts, despite their different purviews and purposes, remain inexorably linked in our understanding of origins.
Here are some of the best responses from around the web to David's Barash's controversial editorial about God and Evolution in the New York Times.
If discussions of science and religion sometimes get bogged down in Genesis, perhaps that is because they have not made the preparatory journey through the rich material of the Wisdom books.
At BioLogos, we believe that a serious and faithful reading of Scripture doesn't call for a recent origin to the earth, and we are persuaded that God has shown us through the natural world he created that his creative work began much earlier.
We must press beyond the various creation narratives in the Hebrew Bible, including the final chapters of Job, to the picture of God revealed in the New Testament—the Creator who does not rationally explain away the scandal of suffering but who instead enters into it.
Sometimes, out of fear or some sense of being required to defend our position, Church leaders and teachers have hastily set up a boundary marker around some doctrinal theory which they have confused as a core doctrinal issue.
"It's tempting to think that the church needs to decide quickly which of these [original sin] scenarios is right, and which ones must be wrong. I believe the church is better served by taking its time, holding several different scenarios in tension for a while as we think through the implications of each."
Critics of Christianity look to evolution to show how the emergence of human life on earth demanded enormous ruin and ravage, billions of years of apparent waste and futility, species extermination and organism road kill. Not only was the massive dying off rampant, it's mandatory too.
The gift of Love must be the gift of freedom, the gift of a degree of letting-be, and this can be expected to be true of all creatures to the extent that is appropriate to their proper character. It is in the nature of dense snow fields that they will sometimes slip with the destructive force of an avalanche. It is the nature of lions that they will seek their prey. It is the nature of cells that they will mutate, sometimes producing new forms of life, sometimes grievous disabilities, sometimes cancers.
These excerpts from Origins: Christian Perspectives on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design, written by BioLogos president Deborah Haarsma and her husband Loren Haarsma, offer a sampling of the book's many topics, from exploring our disagreements and agreements on origins as Christians to explaining scientific processes to looking at how we read Genesis.
... I would exhort these, my fellow conservative evangelical shepherds and thinkers, to set aside all reticence and fear, emerge from anonymity, and storm the forum of discourse, engaging this most pressing matter with vigor, equanimity, and humility. In doing so, know upfront that there will be few handrails to guide; you will not be building upon an extensive precedence of published conservative thought.
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
Were one to propose creation by means of theistic evolution, some of the presuppositions for these responses to the problem of evil no longer function. Therefore, advocating some form of theistic evolution poses problems for standard explanations of the problem of evil.
The tension generated by our understanding of God's character, as revealed in the Bible, and by the reality of the natural world around us has been the focus of much debate within the Christian church since the first century. This series examines critically several of the proposed solutions to this problem, viewing them from the perspective of a geologist, paleontologist, and orthodox evangelical Christian.
In our sixth BioLogos videocast, we take a look at the age of the Earth. We explain four methods scientists have used to determine that age: tree ring, lake varve, radiometric, and seafloor spread dating, and also offer some theological insight on how an old earth can fit with the first chapters of Genesis.
The debate is often not about evidence, but about making sure that others do not transgress our interpretive boundaries and insist that we're wrong. We've bitten from the tree of knowledge and we love its taste.
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
This exchange brings together related essays on death in light of evolution and Scripture from Southern Baptist theologian Dr. John Laing. Laing argues that evolutionary theory requires death to play a central role in the creation of new life, but sees Scripture depicting death only "as an invader, disturber of peace, and a force of evil." A BioLogos response is given by Dr. Jeff Schloss.

- people in the U.S. have this name View George Mukira on WhitePages
Meaning & Origins
Via Old French and Latin, from Greek Georgios (a derivative of geōrgos 'farmer', from gē 'earth' + ergein 'to work'). This was the name of several early saints, including the shadowy figure who is now the patron of England (as well as of Germany and Portugal). If the saint existed at all, he was perhaps martyred in Palestine in the persecutions of Christians instigated by the Emperor Diocletian at the beginning of the 4th century. The popular legend in which the hero slays a dragon is a medieval Italian invention. He was for a long time a more important saint in the Orthodox Church than in the West, and the name was not much used in England during the Middle Ages, even after St George came to be regarded as the patron of England in the 14th century. Its use increased from the 1400s, and by 1500 it was regularly among the most popular male names. This popularity was reinforced when George I came to the throne in 1714, bringing this name with him from Germany. It has been one of the most popular English boys' names ever since.

Young squad aims high in 2013-14
A stacked Dakota 12 Conference will surely test this year's Lady Quarriers basketball team, but veteran coach Jeff Dvorak thinks his girls are up to the challenge.Dell Rapids lost six seniors after the 2012-2013 season, which ended with a 7-14 record. But Dvorak said the youth of this year's team – Jordan Stone is the lone senior and returning starter – might serve Dell Rapids well."The disadvantages are pretty obvious – experience and knowing what it takes," he said. "But there are some advantages sometimes. (The girls) are excited to prove themselves and make a name for themselves. And sometimes they don't get as nervous … and they play a little looser."Dvorak said a diverse roster of both size and speed should lead to success, but it's too early to know what the team's identity will be. But if the effort the girls have put in during their first couple weeks of practices is a predictor, it should be a great year, he said."The kids have been practicing really hard and scrimmaging against each other really well," Dvorak said.Dell Rapids opened the season with conference play Tuesday night in Sioux Falls against the Chargers.

"Time, my twin, take me by the hand through the streets of your city" — Ilya Kaminsky
Photographers Alex Webb and Rebecca Norris Webb take an elegiac look at Rochester, New York, a city that was for 125 years the home of Eastman Kodak, which declared bankruptcy in 2012. These images, taken during what may be the last days of film as we know it, are a meditation on film, memory, time, and the city itself.
For this project, Alex took images with his last rolls of Kodachrome, a formerly vibrant color film that can now only be processed as black-and white. The resulting photos have a weathered quality akin to a fading memory. Alex also took to the streets of Rochester and shot in digital color – work that punctuates the black and white work with images from his signature style. Rebecca, who still uses film for all her work, responded to the medium's uncertain future by creating an elegiac refrain of color still lifes and portraits of Rochester women past and present.
Woven into the book are quotes by many of the famous writers and thinkers who have been connected to Rochester, including women's rights activist Susan B. Anthony, abolitionist Frederick Douglass, and poets John Ashbery and Ilya Kaminsky. And the authors have also created a timeline on the cultural history of the city that traces the evolution of a once-vibrant and now complex city.
The design of the book includes a separate booklet and special tipped-in images throughout. As both previous RADIUS books with these artists have sold out quickly – this is sure to be a collector's item.

Overview: The threat landscape is changing, or is it?
Many papers on the topic of advanced persistent threats (APTs) begin with ominous references to the changing threat landscape and stories of how highly sophisticated cyber attacks are becoming more prevalent. That can be misleading. The majority of attacks today still use many techniques that have been around for years-social engineering, phishing emails, backdoor exploits and drive-by downloads, to name the biggest ones.

Chronic cholecystitis is swelling and irritation of the gallbladder that continues over time.
The gallbladder is a sac located under the liver. It stores bile that is made in the liver. Bile helps the intestines digest fats.
Cholecystitis - chronic
Most of the time, chronic cholecystitis is caused by repeated attacks of acute (sudden) cholecystitis. Most of these attacks are caused by gallstones in the gallbladder.
These attacks cause the walls of the gallbladder to thicken. The gallbladder begins to shrink. Over time, the gallbladder is less able to concentrate, store, and release bile.
The disease occurs more often in women than in men. It is more common after age 40.
For symptoms of acute cholecystitis, see: Acute cholecystitis.
Acute cholecystitis is a painful condition that leads to chronic cholecystitis. It is not clear whether chronic cholecystitis causes any symptoms.
Your health care provider may order the following blood tests:
Tests that reveal gallstones or inflammation in the gallbladder include:
Surgery is the most common treatment. Surgery to remove the gallbladder is called cholecystectomy.
In patients who are too ill to have surgery because of other diseases or conditions, the gallstones may be dissolved with medication taken by mouth. However, this may take 2 years or longer to work. The stones may return after treatment.
Cholecystectomy is a common procedure with a low risk.
Call your health care provider if you develop symptoms of cholecystitis.
The condition is not always preventable. Eating less fatty foods may relieve symptoms in people. However, the benefit of a low-fat diet has not been proven.

The fifty years between the Council of Nicaea in 325 and the Council of Constantinople in 381 were times of extraordinary theological change leading to understandings of God and Christ both continuous with and sharply different from earlier teaching, a true revolution. This course explores the process of doctrinal change during that period, both in its own right and as a paradigm for doctrinal change in later periods, including the present. Lectures, reading of original sources in translation, group discussion, research essay.

A Hebrew/Yiddish word, often used (and spelled various ways) in English; particularly used in southern California. There is no exact English equivalent word; `operator' is maybe the closest. A gonif operates on the shadowy borders of illegality and/or impropriety, and gets away with it, and is not quite an outright crook. The word seems to combine proper moral disapproval with sneaking admiration. Reference: 'The Joys of Yiddish,' by Leo Rosten.
Seymour was an accomplished and clever gonif. He could con birds out of trees, and could figure out how to game any bureaucratic system within a few minutes.

Two Lads is one of the more recent additions to the Mission Peninsula wine region, founded in 2007 by two lads: Chris Baldyga, who grew up working in Mission Peninsula vineyards, and Cornel Olivier, who hails from the famed Stellenbosch winegrowing region of South Africa, where he built a reputation as a world-class winemaker.
The winery crafts wine from its own grapes, 23 acres planted on hillsides near the northern tip of the Mission Peninsula. The latitude and climate is quite similar to some of the famed winegrowing regions of Europe; Two Lads specializes in some of the same style cool-climate red wines and sparkling whites, too, including pinot noir, cabernet franc, cabernet sauvignon and pinot gris. It's somewhat of a departure for Michigan wineries, many of which have long focused on cherry-based and other sweet wines.
The tasting room and winery also take advantage of the fine site, with a modern and minimalist 10,500-square-foot facility near the crest of a high hill. The multi-level building allows Two Lads to use gravity-flow rather than a traditional pump-and-filter system to process its wine, a method that is more environmentally sustainable and is gentler on the wine. Visitors to the tasting room may be the biggest winners, sampling and sipping while soaking up views of Grand Traverse Bay through a grand wall of glass.
