The offense is still sluggish as the Phillies have now lost six in a row.
The Phillies wasted a good effort by Jamie Moyer as the offense once again let the team down as they lost their sixth straight game. For the first six innings of the game, Moyer and A's starter Joe Blanton would be involved in a pitchers' duel, with Moyer only giving up one hit during that time, a lead-off single in the first inning to Kurt Suzuki, who would later by wiped out in a 3-6-3 double play by Ryan Sweeney, and striking out nine A's, striking out the side twice, while Blanton would give up only two hits, one of which was Pat Burrell's nineteenth home run of the year, a solo shot in the fourth inning, which gave the Phillies a 1-0 lead. Things would change in the seventh when the Phillies would get their first two men on base, Burrell via a walk and Jayson Werth via a single. But, things would then go flat as Geoff Jenkins would fly out to left, swinging on the first pitch, for the first out of the inning. Pedro Feliz would then single to right, but the third base coach, not taking a chance on getting Burrell thrown out at the plate, holds him up at third base to load the bases. This move would soon come back to haunt the Phillies as Carlos Ruiz, with a 2-1 count, would hit into a twin killing, third to first, with the third baseman touching third base first before throwing to first. The Phillies being unable to capitalize in their half of the inning would turn out to be a momentum changer, as, with Moyer still pitching, Sweeney would start off the A's half of the seventh with a single. One out later, Bobby Crosby would get a pop single, on a ball that was misplayed by Shane Victorino and would drop in front of him, moving Sweeney to second. After Charlie Manuel decides to leave Moyer in the game, despite the fact that Chad Durbin was ready to go, Moyer would give up a three-run home run to Emil Brown, his sixth home run of the year, scoring both Sweeney and Crosby, and giving the A's the lead, 3-1. After getting the second out and then giving up a ground rule double, which might have ended up being worst if it has not bounced into the stands, to Carlos Gonzalez, Manuel would come out and finally replace an out of gas Moyer with Durbin, who would then strike out Donnie Murphy to end the inning. In the eighth, the Phils would come back to cut the lead to 3-2, as, with Victorino on second, after getting on base with a single and then stealing second, he would score on a RBI single by Ryan Howard. Although Howard would later get to second base on a pass ball charged to Suzuki, Burrell would leave him there as he strikes out. The A's would then deliver the coup de grace in the bottom of the inning, as with two out, J.C. Romero would walk Sweeney and then give up a two-run home run to Jack Cust, Cust's twelfth home run of the year, to make it 5-2 A's. That would be it as Huston Street would come in to pitch a 1-2-3 ninth to record his fourteenth save of the year.
Jamie Moyer would take the lost, although pitching a very good game until the disasterous seventh. He would go six and two-thirds inning, giving up only three runs on five hits, while striking out nine A's. His record is now 7-5 with a 4.09 ERA. Chad Durbin would pitch a third of an inning in relief, striking out the only man he would face. J.C. Romero would pitch two-thirds of an innings, giving up two earned runs on only one hit, while walking one and striking out one. Ryan Madson would go a third of an inning, striking out the only A that he would face. Joe Blanton would get the win, as he pitches seven innings, giving up only one earned run on four hits. His record is now 4-10 with an ERA of 4.58. Alan Embree would pitch an inning, giving up one earned run on two hits. Huston Street would pitch a 1-2-3 ninth as he get his fourteenth save of the season.
It is now official, the offense presently stinks, and even they are starting to realize it, as they would acknowledge in an article posted on Phillies.com about the game. Even the manager seems to be noticing that the guys are right now doing everything wrong at the plate, and those things includes, "…guys not hitting, swinging bad, swinging at balls in the dirt, chasing balls over their heads, it looks like they've never seen a baseball…." and those things are going to keep hurting this team until the batters finally get it into their thick skulls that they should be trying to meet the ball, and not trying to hit home runs everytime they get up to the plate, with the situations that occurred in the first and seventh innings being perfect examples of what is presently wrong with this team. Especially the seventh, when Jenkins, who should have been up there trying to move the runners over into scoring position, which might have required him taking a pitch or two until he saw something which he was sure he could hit towards the right side of the infield and get Burrell and Werth over to third and second, instead swings at the first pitch and flies out, moving no one. This would come back to hurt the Phils, as I am sure that Feliz's single would've scored both Burrell and Werth from second and third, and would instead load the bases, as the Phils' third base coach refuses to send Burrell home, afraid that he might have been cut down at home by a throw from Sweeney. Me, I'd made the attempt. Why? To shake things up a bit. There's a difference between being aggressive and being passive. Stopping Burrell at third was being passive, and is part of the reason that the Phils are mired in their present slide. If the third base coach had been aggressive, it would have taken a real good throw to home to get Burrell thrown out. Sure, Burrell isn't as fast as Jimmy Rollins or Shane Victorino, his running towards home would've still forced Sweeney to have to throw an almost perfect strike to get him out at home, and who know what would've happened if the throw was anything but a perfect strike. But, since he didn't send Burrell home, it's all a very moot point. Hopefully, the players' own realization that they are stinking up the place might just get them to do something to reverse it before the situation can get any worst.
The series between the Phillies (42-36) and the Athletics (42-34, 2nd American League West) continues with a night game at McAfee Coliseum. The game will start at 10:05 pm Eastern (7:05 pm Pacific). The Phillies will send up Kyle Kendrick (6-3, 5.06) to see if he can stop their slide before it can get any worst. He is coming off an awful start against the BoSox on June 18, where he would only pitch three innings, as he gave up six earned runs on six hits, in the Phils' 7-4 lost. He will be trying to return to his winning ways, while, as mentioned earlier, trying to put a stop to the Phils' swoon. The A's will counter with Greg Smith (4-5, 3.51), who is coming off a no-decision against the Diamondbacks on June 19, where he would only go five innings, giving up an earned run on three hits, in the A's 2-1 lost. He will be trying to improve his record, while at the same time seeing if he can adds to the Phillies' present offensive woes.
The Phillies are still leading by one, four and four and a half games over the Marlins, Mets and Braves respectively, as all three teams lost their games while the Phils were unable to take advantage of it. The Phillies will be trying to end their present slump, which is a team effort, and stop wasting some good efforts that they have recently been getting from their starters.
On the north side of the Bay, the Phillies visit the A's as they try to end their losing streak.
Presently mired in a five game losing streak, the first place Phillies (42-35) travels to Oakland to play the Athletics (41-34, 2nd American League West) for a three games interleague play series. The first game of the series will be played tonight in McAfee Coliseum at 10:05 pm Eastern (7:05 pm Pacific). The Phillies will be sending Jamie Moyer (7-4, 4.09) to the mound, as he comes off a long start against the BoSox on June 17, where he would go only five innings, giving up two earned runs on four hits, in the Phillies' 3-0 lost. Lifetime against the A's, he is 17-15, including two shutouts, with an ERA of 4.46. He is looking to regain the team's lead in victory while trying to see if he can help pitch the Phillies out of their present swoon. His opponent will be Joe Blanton (3-10, 4.81), who is coming off his fourth straight lost, this time at the hands of the Diamondbacks on June 18, where he would only go three innings, giving up eight earned runs on seven hits, in the Athletics' 11-1 lost. In sixteen starts for the A's, they are 4-12 behind him. He will be trying to end his personal losing streak while trying to see if he can keep the Phillies' offense from being able to restart its engine.
During their last five games, the Phillies' offense has been placed in neutral while starting pitching has allowed the opposing team to score first. In fact, in all of their last nine loses, the Phillies have trailed their opponent right from the start, and, for the most part, had been unable to catch up, or when they do catch up, their pitching will sadly give the lead back. The Phils' sputtering offense may have to resort to playing small ball for a while, getting away from their homering always and often style, if they intend to win games again. And the offense will also have to start acting a whole lot smarter while they are each standing inside the batter's box. No more swinging at the first pitch, whether its a fastball or not, no more swinging at pitches that are either high or low, or out of the strike zone altogether (I mean especially you Howard), try to stay patient inside the batter box, start doing some hit and run when either Jimmy Rollins or Shane Victorino is on base, steal more bases, find ways to move the runners into scoring position, be willing to sacrifice themselves so that the team can win ballgames. But most of all, try to relax and just be patient while in the batter's box. They will also have to stop worrying about whether they can stack up with the American League elite; Guys, just go out there, stay within your own comfort zone, and prove to yourselves that you are able to stay up with the best by just doing it. Once you do, I'm sure things will turn around.
The Phillies have a one game lead over the Marlins who also had yesterday off. Their lead over the Mets had increased to four games as the Mets lost their game last night to the Mariners, while the Braves find themselves behind the Phillies by four and a half games after their lost to the Brew crew. As the Phillies begin the first game of their three cities nine games road trip, the Marlins will start their series with the Tampa Bay Rays in Miami for three games, the Mets will continue their three games series with the Mariners in New York and the Braves will continue their three games series with the Brewers. The Phillies will be trying to recapture their winning ways as they travel to Oakland, Texas, and Atlanta, while hoping that they can increase their divisional lead over the pesky fish.
Sarge Jr. comes to Citizens Bank Park: The Phillies face the best in the American League West.
The first place Phillies (42-32) will be facing Gary Matthews, Jr and the Los Angeles Angles of Anaheim (43-30, 1st American League West) at Citizens Bank Park for a three games weekend series. The first game of the home stand will start at 7:05 pm Eastern. The Phillies will be sending to the mound Adam Eaton (2-4, 4.57), who is coming off his fifth straight quality start, although losing to the Cardinals on June 14, as he would pitch six and two-thirds innings, giving up three earned runs on nine hits, in the Phillies' 3-2 lost. In those five starts, he is 2-1 with a no-decision, which the Phils won, pitching a combined total of thirty-two and a third innings, giving up eleven earned runs on thirty-two hits. Eaton will be trying for his sixth straight quality start while trying to get his third win of the season to help the Phillies to once again put some distance between them and their opponents in the National League East. The Angels will counter with Ervin Santana (8-3, 3.40), who is coming off a lost to the Braves on June 14, where would only go five and two-thirds innings, giving up six earned runs on nine hits, in the Angels' 9-4 lost. He will once again be looking for his ninth win while trying to dominate the Phils' bats.
This will be the first time that Sarge's son will make an appearance at Citizens Bank Park, where he will be watched by his father from the broadcast booth. The Phillies' offense will be trying to get back on the winning track, hopefully with the batters being a bit more patient at the plate and being a lot more consistant in runs production. Also, Chase Utley will be trying to break out of his present 0-20 slump which has caused his batting average to dip under .300 (.294), twenty-fourth best in the NL. Although he is still leading the league in home runs with twenty-two, he is now third in RBIs with sixty-two, fourth in runs scored with fifty-six, eleventh in hits with eighty-three and sixth in slugging percentage (.606). The Phils will need him to get back to being able to get hits and knock in runs for the offense to get going again.
The Phillies' lead in the National League East is now at two games as the second place Marlins head to Oakland for a three games series with the Athletics. They are presently leading the now third place Mets by five and a half games as they go to Denver for a three games weekend series with the Rockies. The now fourth place Braves, thanks to their lost to the Angels yesterday afternoon, trail the Phillies by six games as they get ready to play host to the Seattle Mariners for a three game series. The Phillies, as they try to win their first series since their sweep of the Braves, hope that the rest of their division will do poorly against their opponents this weekend.
Pitching, a little small ball win game as the Phils' bats continue to stay silent.
For the second straight game, the Phillies were involved in a shut out. Only this time, they were the ones to come out on top, but just barely, as they defeated the Nationals 1-0. Cole Hamels would pitch seven strong innings, as he gives up no runs to the Nats, on four hits, while striking out eleven batters. Hamels has now pitched nineteen straight scoreless innings, going back to the last three innings of his May 9 start against the Giants. The Phils' offense has been kept from scoring for just as many innings, not scoring a run for seventeen and two-thirds innings, as it continues, until the top of the ninth, to leave men on base, in this case nine runners, with four of them in scoring position, in the first eight innings, as Tom Bergmann and Saul Rivera would both find ways to keep them from scoring. The Phillies would finally get a run across in the ninth inning, when, with the Nats' closer Jon Rauch pitching, Pedro Feliz would start the inning off with a double. After Eric Bruntlett comes in to pinch run for Feliz, Carlos Ruiz would sacrifice him over to third, putting the winning run on third base with one out. Greg Dobbs would then come out to pitch hit for Tom Gordon, who has kept the Nationals from scoring in their half of the eighth, keeping the game scoreless. With the count 2-0, Dobbs would hit a blooping single to center field, scoring Bruntlett and giving the Phillies a 1-0 lead. After Jimmy Rollins flies out, Shane Victorino would hit a double to center field. But, Dobbs would be tagged out at home plate, thanks to a strong throw from Lastings Milledge to shortstop Cristian Guzman to catcher Jesus Flores, who would block the plate, thus keeping Dobbs from scoring. This would keep the score 1-0 Phils. Brad Lidge would pitch the bottom of the ninth in relief of Gordon. After striking out the first two batters he faced, he would walk Elijah Dukes with the count full. Dukes would then proceed to steal second and third, before Lidge would walk pitch hitter Rob Mackowiak, also on a full count, giving the Nationals runners on the corners, with the winning run on first. Then on the first pitch to Felipe Lopez, Lopez would hit a grounder to Chase Utley. Utley would bobble the ball before finally throwing out a slow moving Lopez to end the game and preserve the victory for the Phillies as Lidge records his eleventh save in as many tries.
Cole Hamels, with his seven innings of shut out ball, would get a no-decision while dropping his ERA to 2.61. Tom Gordon, pitching an inning of relief, would get the win as he gives up no runs on one hit. His record is now 4-2, with an ERA of 4.26. Brad Lidge records his eleventh save of the year as he goes one full innings, giving up no runs on no hits, striking out two while also walking two. Tom Bergmann would also get a no-decision as he pitches seven innings, giving up no runs while scattering five hits. Saul Rivera would pitch an inning, giving up no runs on no hits. Jon Rauch would take the lost, giving up an earned run on three hits. His record is now 2-1, with a 2.78 ERA.
The Phils' offense, expected to be the best run producer in the National League this year, is scoring less runs than expected, while the batters have suddenly stopped getting the key hit. Maybe having the offense play some small ball for a few games might be what the doctor ordered, else the starters will soon find themselves in for a lot of long games without offensive support. And, considering how some of them are pitching right now (I'm talking to you Myers and Eaton), that might end up meaning a bullpen weaken from overwork by September.
The Phillies (25-22) will conclude their trip to the nation's capitol with a night game tonight from Nationals Park. The game will start at 7:10 pm Eastern. The Phils' starter will be Jamie Moyer (3-3, 4.89), who is coming off of a good outing against the Toronto Blue Jays on May 16, where he went six and two-thirds innings, giving up only three earned runs on seven hits, in the Phils' 10-3 victory. He hopes to improve his record while trying to help the Phils win the series as he pitches in the 46th ballpark in his 22 years career. The Nationals (20-27) will counter with Matt Chico (0-5, 6.07), who they are using in place of Shawn Hill, who has an ailing right elbow. Chico is coming out of the bullpen, where he was demoted after losing five of his six starts earlier this season. Coming out of the bullpen, he would appear in three games, where he would pitch six and one third innings, giving up just one earned run on six hits, as his ERA drops from 6.87 to 6.07. He hopes to win his first start of the year while adding to the Phils' offensive problems, while the Phils hopes to final break out the bats and start scoring runs.
The Phils' victory keeps them a game of a half behind the Florida Marlins, who won their game against the Diamondbacks, 3-2. The Phils are technically still tied for second place, but now they are a .001 percentage point behind the Atlanta Braves, who have swept a double header from the New York Mets, by scores of 6-1 and 6-2. The losts put the Mets in fourth place, a game behind both the Phils and the Braves. The Phils hopes to get a win tonight, to keep pace with both the Marlins and the Braves and stay ahead of the Mets in the tight National League East.
Still playing in the capital.
The Phillies (22-24) continue their three games visit to Washington, D.C. with their second game at the Nationals' (20-26) new home, Nationals Park. The game starts tonight at 7:10 pm Eastern. The Phils will be sending out their ace, Cole Hamels (5-3, 2.89), who is coming off his first complete game shut out victory against the Atlanta Braves on May 15, giving up no runs on four hits and strking out six, in the Phillies' 5-0 win. Hamels has won three of his last four starts, with the Phils' winning the other one, as he goes twenty-nine and one third innings, giving up only ten earned runs on twenty-two hits and striking out twenty-four. His career record against the Nationals is 4-3 with a 2.49 ERA in ten starts, including his previous start against them this year, where he was involved in a pitcher's duel with Tim Redding on April 2, going eight full innings, giving up an earned run on five hits, as he took the lost, in the Phils' 1-0 defeat. He hopes to improve his record while ending the Phillies' present losing streak at three games. The Nationals will counter with Jason Bergmann (1-1, 7.45), who is coming off a shut out victory of his own, as he pitched seven scoreless innings against the New York Mets, also on May 15, giving up no runs on three hits, in the Nationals' 1-0 win. In his other three starts he got hammered pretty hard, including his April 3 start against the Phils, receiving a no-decision, as he went five and a third innings, giving up five earned runs on seven hits, in the Nationals' 8-7 lost. He'll be looking to improve his record, while trying to continue the Phils' offensive woos.
The Phils' offense has not been doing well in their last three games, leaving too many men on in scoring positions. For some reason, they are not getting the big hit when they need it. Just as badly, they don't seems to be playing small ball, moving players into scoring position, hitting sac flies to score runners from third, being patient at the plate, taking pitches when ahead in the count, defending the plate with two strikes, waiting for the pitcher to throw their pitch, etc. Although they are suppose to be a runs producing team, they don't seems to be doing the little things that helps to bring in runs, and it seems to have cost them their last three games. It's obvious that Charlie Manuel and the coaching staff needs to remind them about that particular aspect of the game, and soon, if they want to get into the playoff at the end of the year. The Phils also need to start beating up on weak teams, as they are presently 8-8 in their last sixteen games playing against teams who are .500 or worst, losing two of their last three series.
The third place Phillies are a game and a half behind the National League East leading Marlins and a full game behind the Mets, while a half game ahead of the Braves. The Marlins will start a three games series with the best team in the National League, the Diamondbacks, in Miami, while the Mets will be playing the Braves in Atlanta for four games. The Phils hope to do better during their next two games with the Nationals, and during their four game set in Houston, so that they can get back to challenging for first place.
Edit: The Braves and Mets have finished the first games of a doubleheader, while the Braves have won 6-1, putting the Braves .001 percentage points ahead of the Phils and .001 percentage points behind the Mets, while all three teams are now a game and a half behind the Marlins. The second game is presently in a rain delay. Meanwhile, the Phils' offensive troubles continues as Pat Burrell strands two runners on base, with one in scoring position.
Redding, Nationals' bullpen shut down the Phillies as the offense go 0-12 with runners in scoring position.
Tim Redding shuts down the Phillies' offense for the second time this season, as the Washington Nationals defeat the Phils, 4-0. Redding would go six and a third innings against the Fightin's, scattering seven hits, as he and the Nationals' bullpen would keep the Phils' off the scoreboard, while the Phillies' offense would go 0 for 12 with runners in scoring position. Meanwhile, Phils' starter Brett Myers would give up three runs to the last place Nationals as they hurt him mostly with hard hit doubles. The Nationals' first run would come in the first, as Dmitri Young hits a sacrifice fly, scoring Cristian Guzman, who has earlier singled. The Nationals would increase their lead in the third, making it 3-0, on a RBI double into no man's land in right field, with the bases loaded, by Lastings Milledge, knocking in Felipe Lopez, who has doubled earlier, and Guzman, who has singled. The National's last run would come in the seventh inning, off of Ryan Madson, pitching in relief of Myers, as Guzman scores on a double play ground out by Young.
The lost would be only the second time this year that the Phils would not score a run in a game, both times coming at the hands of Tim Redding. So far this year, Redding has blanked the Phils for thirteen and a third innings, giving up only eight hits to the Fightin's and no runs. And this is also the first time during the season that the Phils have lost three games in a row. Even worst, the Phillies' offense, during all three losts, has been unable to get a key hit when they'd needed it the most. In fact, starting with their series against the San Diego Padres back on April 29-May 1, the Fightin's have not been crushing weaker teams like they should. Their record against weak teams, starting with that series, has been 8-8, with them in fact losing two of their last three. The Phillies' offense need to turn things around, and fast, else they are not going to be in contention for the pennant comes September.
Brett Myers was the losing pitcher, as he goes six innings, giving up three earned runs on eight hits. His record is now 2-5 with a 5.76 ERA. Ryan Madson went two innings in relief, giving up an earned run on two hits. Tim Redding was the winner for the Nationals, as he would go six and one third innings, giving up no runs on seven hits. His record is now 6-3 as his ERA drops to 3.16. Saul Rivera would pitch two-thirds of an inning, giving up no runs on no hits. Luis Ayala and Joel Hanrahan would both pitch an inning in relief, both giving up no runs on no hits.
The Phils are now in third place in the National League East, a game and a half behind the first place Marlins, a half game behind the second place Mets, and a half game ahead of the fourth place Braves, who all had the day off. As the Phillies (24-22) met the Nationals (20-26) tonight, the Braves and Mets will start a four games series in Atlanta, while the Marlins will met the best team in the National League, the Diamonbacks, for three games in Miami, Florida. The Phillies need to get back to their winning ways, and once again get close to first place, while hoping that the Diamondbacks will beat the Marlins in their series, while the Braves and Mets will hurt each other in theirs.
The next Phillies game will be played tonight in Nationals Park in Washington, D.C., starting at 7:10 pm Eastern. The Phils' ace Cole Hamel (5-3, 2.89) will be their starter, hoping to end the bleeding. He is coming off his first complete game shut-out against the Braves on May 15, where he gave up no runs on four hits, while striking out six, in the Phils' 5-0 victory. He has won three of his last four starts, giving up four runs or less in each of his starts. Lifetime against the Nationals, he is 4-3 with a 2.49 ERA in ten starts. He hopes to improve his record while giving the Phillies' offense a chance to break loose. The Nationals will counter with Jason Bergmann (1-1, 7.45), who is coming off a win against the Mets on May 15, where he went seven innings, giving up no runs on three hits, in the Nationals' 1-0 win. In three previous starts, he got hammered, including his first game this year against the Phils way back on April 3, where he received a no decision, as he pitched five and one third innings, giving up five earned runs on seven hits to the Fightin's, in the Nationals' 8-7 lost. He'll be looking to improve his record while looking to increase the Phils' present hitting woos.

Here are a few things to think about when constructing the perfect salad.
• Choose the right ingredients for the season. Do yourself a favor and don't choose to make a fresh tomato Caprese when tomatoes are not in season.
• Pair the right greens with the right dressing. A heavy dressing such as one with gorgonzola would smother arugula, which needs to be dressed with a light vinaigrette.
• Don't let a salad be an excuse to clean out the crisper drawer — or for all you chefs out there, the walk-in. Think about what you're putting in your salad and what purpose each ingredient serves relative to the other ingredients you're putting in the salad.
• Keep a simple green salad simple. My go-to ingredients to dress up such a salad are thinly sliced radishes, cucumbers or fresh herbs. I like to add dill, tarragon, parsley, chervil, fresh oregano or a mix — and lots of them. My go-to dressing would be a simple lemon vinaigrette or one such as the sherry vinaigrette used in the butter lettuce salad.
• You must dry your salad greens well before dressing them. Wet greens wash away the flavor and weigh down the lettuce. More important to your kitchen arsenal than a canister of liquid nitrogen or a sous-vide machine, and a whole lot less expensive, is a salad spinner, which is hands-down the best thing for the job.
• Put your salad greens in a wide-mouthed bowl, which allows you to toss them sufficiently without crushing or bruising them.
• Salt the greens before adding the dressing. Just trust me on this!
• Err on the spare side when adding the dressing to the greens. Toss the salad with the dressing, and if it needs more, add more.
• Toss salad with your (clean) hands. They're the gentlest tools for the job, plus, with your hands, you will be able to feel if you have enough dressing or how much more you need.
• When you're using a thick dressing, which you will do only with sturdier leaves, massage the dressing into the leaves. With a vinaigrette, use your hands to make sure to get dressing onto the entire surface of the leaves.
• Taste the salad once it's dressed, and if necessary add more dressing, salt or acid (lemon juice or vinegar) to taste.
• I like to serve salads in a way that highlights their natural beauty — such as in a wide-mouthed wooden bowl or on an unadorned white platter. Truth be told, I like to serve everything that way!
—Nancy Silverton and Carolynn Carreño

In the field of conservation there are degradations and vulnerabilities that are brought about by circumstance and environment, and then there are those that are endemic to an object, and fall under the poetic epithet of "inherent vice." Perhaps one of the most infamous and widespread potentialities of inherent vice in the realm of historical manuscripts is that of iron gall ink. So named for its composition of gallotannic acid and iron salts, iron gall ink was the writing ink of the Western world from the late-Middle Ages up through the 19t
The financial records that fill the 671 volumes in the Bank of North America Collection offer up a veritable goldmine of historical information, vital and pertinent to more areas of research than can be readily imagined. And yet these pages, being written out by hand, also contain a sort of history that goes beyond the academic.

Broken Stillness comprises subtle, beautiful and hypnotic work which uses digital practices to examine the border where well-established forms of image-making, especially painting and photography, meet the possibilities offered by new technologies. Through animation, motion capture, modelling software and other processes the artists generate unexpected interpretations of the landscape tradition. Slowly moving and shifting, their works reveal the constructed nature of images, highlighting our expectations about both static pictures and the hyper-speed of the digital environment. The exhibited works display the materiality of the digital or photographic image while challenging images that are frequently regarded as 'true' representations.

In the half century before 1790, there had been only one contested election in Newcastle, but between 1790 and 1832 there were a dozen. This new and heated political climate prompted the production of a vast array of printed propaganda and political commentary, aimed at voters and non-voters alike. Most of this material took the form of single printed sheets, or broadsides, produced in great numbers and distributed amongst the town's inhabitants for free. This volume reproduces just over three hundred Newcastle broadsides published during this time; they constitute an important and unique collection, for though such material was produced in many constituencies in Hanoverian England, rarely has it survived in such a complete form. Material comes from Keele University Library, the Sutherland papers at the Staffordshire Record Office, and Newcastle Museum. A representative selection of reproductions of original broadsides is included to give the reader an idea of how contemporaries would have seen the texts and an introduction explains their context.

Good Jobs
For a large share of Americans, the U.S. labor market no longer works as a reliable way to build a stable career and support their families.
This was true before the job losses of the current recession (as of October 2011, the country had 6.3 million fewer jobs since the start of the recession in December 2007). And unless there are structural changes in the economy, it will be true again once the recession has passed.
Down on the bottom rungs of the economic ladder, where too many people who once had middle-income careers now reside, the real value of wages when adjusted for inflation has been declining for years.
One in four jobs does not pay enough to lift a family of four out of poverty. The federal government tries to compensate low-wage workers through programs such as the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC).
Without this and other forms of assistance, many more working families would be struggling to put food on the table and pay for housing, utilities, health care, child care, transportation to and from work, and more. Many families are forced to survive by living under a mounting pile of debt.

France Telecom is the 3rd largest carrier in Europe and has over 216 million customers spread over mobile, fixed line, internet, digital television and IT services. Its CEO is Stephane Richard, and in a recent interview with All Things D, he had a few things to say about RIM. First, which speaks volumes to the media's perception of RIM that doesn't jive particularly well with the numbers, Stephane says "[RIM] is not really declining. It's still popular in Europe." Stephane also continues by saying that RIM has had quality issues and that in order to stay the course and remain competitive, it needs to address these quality problems. This would probably be a fair judgement as RIM has had a few devices such as the Storm that had many quality concerns and its old trackball hardware which caused many to be frustrated with their device. Here is the exact quote:

RIM have expanded into the Ivory Coast today. Through a partnership with Orange CI, RIM have announced that they will be offering devices and software for users in what is respectfully known as the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire.
Le Côte d'Ivoire est une pais dans l'Ouest d'Afrique avec une population de plus de 18,373,060 personnes. Ca vas etre alors une place merveilleuse pour le solution BlackBerry.
The first devices to be offered include the BlackBerry Bold, Curve 8900 and Pearl 8120. Will these be shipping with OS 5, RIM?
[ad#Google Adsense]
The BlackBerry Pearl 8120 is the perfect beginner's smartphone. It comes complete with camera, video recording, Wi-Fi capabilities and expandable memory. The device is available for £139.99 and it comes with £20 top up voucher.
Orange UK has confirmed that the Blackberry Pearl 8120 will be available on a Pay As You Go plan. From early February, Orange will be the first operator in the UK to offer Blackberry on Pay As You Go. The handset will cost £145, and the monthly BlackBerry Internet Service will cost £5. There will also be a color exclusive to the Pearl – indigo! Depending on how this launch goes, Orange UK will consider extending the offer to other Blackberry models in the not too distant future.
Stay tuned to Orange UK's official site for the press release tomorrow.
Press Release
Orange Romania and Research In Motion today launched the BlackBerry Curve 8900. In addition to exceptional phone, email, messaging, organizer, web browser and multimedia applications, the BlackBerry Curve 8900 smartphone features global connectivity support, built-in Wi-Fi and GPS, a next generation 512Mhz processor and a stunning hi-resolution display.
"We believe that in 2009 this new BlackBerry smartphone will play a significant role in the smartphone market in Romania. Customers will easily recognize the optimal combination of price, design, functionality and services. Orange smartphone sales have grown by 20% in 2008 comparing to 2007 and we are positive that launching smarpthones such as the BlackBerry Curve 8900, which combines industry leading email and Internet access services with rich multimedia capabilities, will greatly appeal to our customers," stated Razvan Sturza, Product Manager Orange Romania.
The BlackBerry Curve 8900 is available in all Orange shops and partners' stores in Romania. Prices range from 229 EUR to 329 EUR depending on the BlackBerry tariff plan chosen.
Even though Orange is thinking about pulling the BlackBerry Bold from its device lineup, the carrier is still fully committed to BlackBerry, though at a decidedly more low cost scale. Our pal Ronen from BerryReview has noticed that Orange UK has posted the BlackBerry Pearl 8120 in Titanium and Indigo as 'coming soon' with a pay-as-you-go option. As you probably remember, RIM ceo-Jim Balsillie indicated during the fiscal Q3 2009 conference call that pre-paid BlackBerry options would be a growing trend worldwide.
Pricing information is unavailable at this time, but you can hit the link below to sign up for email notifications from Orange.

We hesitate to say Olli Jokinen has played his last game in a Flames uniform, since he's kind of like the cat that keeps coming back to Calgary. (Except the cat is a 33-year-old Finnish forward.)
Regardless, Eric Francis of the Calgary Sun is reporting Jokinen will become a free agent on July 1 and is expected to find a new team.
Jokinen is coming off a two-year, $6 million deal, but should get a raise in the wake of a 61-point season on an offensively challenged club.
For the Flames, Jokinen's departure leaves them markedly thin at center. Mike Cammalleri can play the middle, but the team's preference is to have him as a winger. After that, it's much-maligned Matt Stajan and nearing-bust-status Mikael Backlund on the depth chart.
Hey, maybe GM Jay Feaster can trade Jay Bouwmeester for a center.

- atwatercrushesokoye - Jun 28, 2012 at 4:12 PM
The Flames signed the Czech centre Cervenka with the intentions that he would replace Jokinen if need be.

- danphipps01 - Jun 29, 2012 at 12:21 AM
With the added benefit of being able to put Eric Staal and Jeff Skinner on wings without really missing any depth at centre. Jordan Staal and Jokinen would leave the 'Canes with a pretty fine top six, and it's not like they lack the cap space to offer him, say, $4.5m a year for three years or something.

Best Kid-friendly Fabric for Sofas
Finding the right sofa and loveseats that match your room, have the right look and meet your budget can be like searching for a needle in a haystack. If kid-friendly fabrics are on your must-have list, start by looking below. This article will help you find the best kid-friendly fabrics for sofas, which should repel stains and hold up to added abuse from children jumping, scooting and forgetting to remove their shoes before hopping on the sofa. Shop All Sofas and Loveseats ▸ Microfiber:Microfiber is stain-resistant and comes in different textures. Some microfiber weaves are smooth, like suede, and others are denser, similar to corduroy. You may clean most microfiber with water, but check the manufacturer's tag because a few types of microfiber may require cleaning with a compatible solvent. Wool:For sofas, wool and wool blends are great because of their durability. They're less prone to pilling, snagging and wrinkling than other fabrics. Plus, wool is easy to spot-clean. Vacuum this natural fabric with a hand-held vacuum attachment to remove dust. Leather:Leather is a versatile sofa fabric; it can be elegant or totally casual. Its slick surface makes cleanups relatively easy. Beware if you have pets, as little claws can leave scratch marks. Scuff-repair solutions are available, and they can keep your kids' sofa looking good for years. In addition, a quick treatment with leather conditioner once or twice a year will keep the sofa soft and supple. Vinyl:Vinyl is just as versatile as leather and often has the same smart look, but at a much more affordable price. It's easy to clean, too: just spray it with water and wipe spills away. Vinyl isn't as snuggly as microfiber, but in a playroom, it will hold up to lots of abuse. Denim:Just because a sofa is upholstered in denim doesn't mean it'll look like your worn-out jeans. Just like a comfy pair of jeans, denim is sturdy and goes with everything. In addition, denim sofas are available in a rainbow of colors to match your kids' bedrooms or playroom.

2 cups white sugar
1 1/4 cups vegetable oil
3 eggs, lightly beaten
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups peeled, pitted, and chopped peaches
Streusel Topping:
2/3 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup butter, softened
Even my fussy family members that swore they didn't like peaches enjoyed these. The servings are for 16 muffins which is too much for a standard 12 muffin tin. We made 6 jumbo muffins and 12 minis and it was perfect. Nice flavor and moist texture. The seasonings didn't overpower the yummy peaches.
took much much longer to cook; overflowed in the muffin cups; not that tasty either
6 Ratings
I made these with my 7 year-old nephew. It was easy and fun to make and everyone loved them.
These are very good. I used a pan that makes large muffins and they were a little dry. I used a pan for regular sized muffins the next time and they were perfect. Either I cooked the first batch a little too long or the recipe isn't suitable for large muffins. I'll definitely make these again!
These were fabulous! Very moist and easy to make. Thinking I might try substituting apples for the peaches next time. Great base muffin mix!!
If I could give these 6 stars I would! They're moist and yummy-I think a perfect breakfast muffin or dessert. I'm also thinking they would be great with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert. I changed the servings to 6 and used those measurements to make 6 large muffins. I made them in a heart muffin tin just because. We loved them!

Ash8 5pts Watch out...these things DRINK Engine OIL, in fact they use more OIL than Mazda's Rotary (which is designed and needs to use oil). The Z's engines are being replaced within a few years with new short and long blocks.
efrros 5pts I've just purchased a nissan 370z, and this car is no joke. It is fast,did 0-60 in 4.8 seconds and it handles incredibly. This car looks good, performs like a car three or four times its price and its great on gas. Can you ask for more? The only critizism is that it needs an oil cooler for constant high revving racing.
smatchett610 5pts this car is great, but i would rather go get a hyundai genesis coupe 2.0T for $22,000 and make some turbo and engine mods and get the same if not more hp out of it for much less money!
Dukeman1948 5pts Just had to toss in my comments. I have had my new 370Z for one week and I'm babying it for the break in period just like the manual tells me too. It's my first sports car since my old Daimler SP250 back in the day. This car is beautiful and while ALL cars have their shortcomings they are easy to overlook when you enjoy the pure ride, the engine purr and all the stares you get. Ok, the stares are feeding my stupid ego but the rest is real. All those cars mentioned are great cars for somebody. This one's great for me.
TrueAmerican2009 5pts What a ghastly piece of Japanese crap! If there is one thing Japan is good at, it's making small ugly cars go really fast. 18mpg is terrible for such a small car. The Corvette can manage to achieve 26mpg with it's 430hp V8. Even the Corvette ZR1, with it's massive 638hp LS9 V8, can still get 20mpg. Price-wise, I'd choose the 361hp Pontiac G8 GT for $29,995. It's not as fast as the 370Z because it's much much larger, but you can still go from 0-60 in 5.2 seconds and stay right behind that Z...and with 5 people in the car too!
Winzer 5pts I'm SO glad the new Z doesn't have any fake ram-air scoops or fake fender vents like so many new cars have now.
jlantz5 5pts To everyone ragging on the 370z, i just bought a 370z Sport model because i received my military bonus. It cost me 29k total because i traded in my old car for 2k, and they gave me 1.9% APR for 60 months. (lets see an american company do that right now) So the pricing is actually great and dealers don't jack it up. they don't have to. (foreign car manufacturers don't have unions so they don't have to pay their workers more all the time)To those of you comparing it to the GXP, think about what you are saying. the GXP is an american manufacturers attempt to get into the tuner scene. its like sarah palin trying to fit into real politics. just look at the numbers. oh...and i can fit all my gear in my 370. im pretty sure i couldnt do that in a solstice or sky.
MrX8503 5pts x-plicit you're comparing the Z to a solstice? Are you freakin nuts? The solstice can't hang."It makes you wonder if its worth an extra $40 Grand to get 0-60 in one second less with the GTR." -watchman247Dude the GTR is in a totally different class in handling and power. You obviously don't know what it takes to gain that second.
Flybye 5pts I thought it was pretty ugly on TV, but I'm giving respect where it's due. Sure it only took Nissan bout 10yrs to FINALLY make a Z faster than the 300ZXTT, but at least they finally got it right with the engine, grip, and weight. The 300 was always more of a touring car. The 370 will most certainly do well at SCCA events.I am VERY much impressed with the decision to use aluminum in many of its parts, hood, doors, and hatch, which brought its weight down to about 3200lbs. It always irritated me how the 350 weighed more than the 300TT. All in all, I'm pretty impressed with the 370. My 3rd gen RX-7 is feeling like a dinosaur with only a 5 speed transmission LOL. But...she's not exactly stock. I'll look forward to seeing the 370 guys out on the highways and at the track. =) Hmm, my 7 was pulling .99 back in 1993 ;-)And for the GXP guys, please. It's a rolling cheese grater AND its american. American car manufacturers are dying for a reason you know ;-)
MyRideisMe.com 5pts Habernatho-I'll take your point even further. I can't believe I'm not hearing more beyond the name, "Syncro Rev" about the 6 speed. That feature alone is worth a test drive. It is flat awesome. Maybe the "pro" drivers writing these articles don't want to say how fun and easy the 370Z is to drive with the rev matching. I challenge anyone to drive that smooth without it! Every minute behind the wheel is a blast... imagine a trip to the grocery store feeling like a hot lap at the track. The engine sound, the G feeling... you feel like a race car driver all the time and you're just cruisin. After you get a chance to drive it (I got a special chance earlier then most) tell me a better new sports car feature out there at any price point. It's that good. Go drive it. You won't be disappointed.
ZRyan1 5pts The 350Z was in the top 5 for worst front-end collisions ratings. Now it's faster. Your better off just getting a ricer.
habernatho 5pts Nice car, crap article. Nissan is advertising their 6 speed as a selling point for the car, but motor-trend only mentions in passing that the car has it. It's not a detailed article, so I wasn't expecting much, but come on. If I wanted to read about automatic transmissions I would have clicked on a mini-van review (no offense to mini-van owners.) There was plenty of room in the article to talk about the transmission, they could have taken all that crap about the Aston Martin out, for $280k it sure as heck better be faster than the 370z, still who cares? Maybe I am the only one that wants to read about the 6 speed, but come on man, throw me a bone.
sherwood81 5pts I agree with HARVEY.I love it when a new car comes out and all of the sudden it is being compared to cars that it does not compete with. Here are a few prime examples. 370Z vs. Camaro? 370Z vs. Corvette?? and my personal favorite 370Z vs. Aston Martin??? he current GXP shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence as the new 370Z. A good comparo. will be the NEW GXP vs. 370Z. I look forward to that article!
longhorn909 5pts blackmagic_Z Toyota/Subaru is coming out with a new Celica this year (although it's unknown if it will be available outside of Japan). It is a nice change for the Celica line though for there are 2 models, the GT and the GT4. The GT is now rwd and the GT4 is awd on Subaru Tires. Both models have small engines as is always seen with Celicas, having 2.0L engines. However, the GT4 is 300hp. Celicas always start at around 18-20k, so I would be surprised to see this new model go for more than 23k starting. I must also say that I like the body style of the Celica, and imo is beat by only a few models including the z line.
Tonavi 5pts The 2009 WRX matches this in acceleration and costs $5k less, and you can drive it in the winter.
Z34tt 5pts Anyways I should get my hands on one in the spring for a decent price.I paid about 32,700 for my track model (a few hundred over invoice) and I expect this car which is CHEAPER than my cars 36K sticker to offer me more performance for even LESS money than I paid a few years agoThose who know how to modify Z's have seen 15+whp from exhaust alone....the HRs breathe much better than the older VQs and one thing people forget is when you mod a Z you have to have it tuned with a reflashed/programable ECU (OSIRIS) otherwise the ECU learns around your mods and counters with more fuel thus negating your newfound breathing modsTechnoSquare already makes a reflash for HR motors and makes a SUBSTANTIAL gain even with a stock/slightly modfied carhttp://sportcompactcar.automotive.com/80429/sccp-0807-technosquare-vq35hr-ecu-reflash/variable-cam-timing.htmlHR 2007/8 Z's have already gone 13.3@107+ on 306hp and 90lbs more weight...with some practice I can see the new Z's going 13 flat if not high 12's
Z34tt 5pts As the current owner of an 06 Track Model Z I can tell you that nissan has been stepping up at every fork in the road.Just a few years ago Nissan North America was on the verge of a BK....the 350z was a left over parts car that was using hand me down parts from the luxury divisionNow its the real dealI have the rev-up VQ motor which can safely handle about 500whp or so on stock internals and the ECU can manage about 450whp or so with a reflash....the new HR motor in this Z is able to withstand more than 600whp on stock internals and has the lungs to make more everywhere in the rev range over the older VQ motorsThe VVEL technology is actaully exciting to see progress....not only is it the standard variable valve timing (which has been around for 80+ years) but its actually programable LIFT....imagine being able to program your cams lift at every section/load/rpmI am still waiting for nissan to use this technology on the exhaust side but the intake side is a very good start
graphikzking 5pts <-- Former owner of a 350z (roadster) I paid $37k for a fully loaded, leather heated seats, navigation, bose sound system. I actually didn't mind the interior. It was nicer than the BMW 02/03.The 332hp is nice, I would like another 15-20 torque. I also would have liked to have seen another 50-70lbs come off.. but Im sure they did what they could with the weight. The weight is MUCH better than the Camaros etc. that are 500lbs more! Can't really compare this to the Camaro anymore. Camaro's are "muscle cars" straight line only. I may cross-shop the 370 roadster and Sky Redline (especially with the upgrade packages they just released). I love the new handling of this .99g! I'm not so happy about the quartermile. I would have liked to have seen 13.0 but it's still nice. I think they did a commenable job without raising prices. They increased almost every performance measure, without upping the price too much.
Harvey- 5pts And people are STILL comparing two different classes of car. Holy crap, Corvette or Caravan. See the difference? Similar thing here. V8 American retro muscle stuff with back seats vs light, two seat, V6 sports car Japanese style.
BigT350Z 5pts Its a Nissan vs. a Pontiac. GM is going under that should tell you something about their design and quality of a vehicle. They are not the muscle cars of yesteryear. The only american car worth buyin these days are the Vette and the Challenger. Mustangs blow and everyone has one and the new Camaro, come on.Good thing those cars come with extra cup holders for your Latte's.
stanczyk 5pts nice car that baby-GTR..japanesse Muscle car..:) but I would take Camaro RS, and SS for sure over it, and probably new Mustang V8 too... Fords Sallion is cooler even if it;s less potent.. but nice car that Z , nice car !.. It's oryginal and for me it's more "emotion appealing" than any borring-Porshe ..0)
Harvey- 5pts Why are people saying 350Z has a back seat? Has anyone seen that huge plastic bulkhead and tower brace in back? G35 might be the image you're seeing.And even then, I can't really see that looking too comfy, and it's not even a 50/50 split... then again, she the heck wants to haul stuff in their luxo-sports coupe.
overbored 5pts The 0-60 in 4.7 doesn't impress me so much now that Nissan axed the backseat. It will beat up on S2000s, Miatas, and the aforementioned Solstice GXP, but cannot hang with a C6 Vette. Except for the sleeker design, I actually prefer the 350Z. Albeit unusable, the backseat was a nice gesture that left you the possibility of winning your spouse's blessing. "It seats four, honey! It's a FAMILY car!"
IvanGutierrez 5pts Any Aston Martin is better than any nissan, nuff said. Anyways, those are some impressive numbers coming from the Z. Still I would like to know if the 0-60 time recorded was after a one foot rollout or from standstill?
seansnake 5pts i work at nissan and i have been hearing from the higher up that Nissan is planning to raise the price of the 370z once it has established itself, similar to the way we raised the price of the GTR. the 370z really an amazing vehicle and i planning on getting one as soon as one is available, before the price hike
Nardbird 5pts dmpete, what makes you think Nissan dealears aren't going to jack up the price? Just over 30 grand is what MT says, I bet no one will get one for less than 35 grand. All this speculation stuff is ridiculous. The new GXP solstice isn't out yet so there is no comparision, however, I wouldn't crown the Z king yet. The performance is without a doubt what Z fans have been waiting for. Kudos to Nissan for bringing out a winner...time for me to supercharged the GTO.....
951Turbo 5pts Nice performance numbers, too bad the interior is still awful. Can't they charge 5-7k more for the car and put "real" materials in it?
dmpete 5pts Guys, guys, guys.... the new Z is awesome. I have been waiting on this thing for months now. I drive a E46 M3, and was waiting on the performance numbers of the new Z. It matches it in almost every way, plus its a Z which means it will have quite a following in the aftermarket scene. Unlike the M real performance mods wont be in the 10K range. And, the Z compared to a solstice, (i just threw up in my mouth a little). Come on, pontiac or saturn can't come close. Even if the numbers were better for one or the other I would still have the Z. And all you Camaro guys out there, just try buying an SS for 1K over what a Z costs and you will be laughed out of the dealership.( it will probably have a 5k premium over list.) Well done Nissan, I can't wait to drive and then buy one.
mrred2 5pts Very Nice car overall!... truth be told, I was kinda hoping those door handles would be gone.. or at least be a lot more subtle. Great car though
blackmagic_Z 5pts Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Any better looking cars from Toyota OR Lexus lately? (Silence)...That's what I thought!
Morbieman 5pts I like the way this thing looks. And as others have noted, I think a few simple mods could take this thing to hero status. Start with a chip and exhaust, and a cold air intake, and you might be passing cars at twice the price. I'm sure the aftermarket will come along with some suspension tweaks as well, pushing it past that magical 1.0 G on the skidpad. Now we can get deeper, this thing SCREAMS for forced induction, some sort of turbo system would be great fun, or perhaps a sneaky underhood supercharger. 30 grand for a entry level sports car is cheap enough, keeps the riff-raff out at least. Try buying similar out of the box performance for the same price or less, especially with the nice interior etc. Bet you can't do it. Nissan has built a helluva car.
MidCitySales 5pts X-plicit: I would totally agree with your statement...................except I'm not a 16 year old girl.
ImportsmasherSS 5pts I would have to agree with syj on the camaro it looks much better, this thing looks like it has a hunchback. Its a performer thats for sure! I think the ss might take it in a straight line but not the corners .99g is very impressive! still I would rather have a back seat and a trunk who really takes these cars to the track the only place this car could beat the camaro ss!as far as the the gxp coupe its lighter and will only be down 30 or so h.p so it might be able to contend with the 370z but we will have to see how much torque it has if its 300h.p/300ftlbs it might have a shot at, at least comming close to those numbers!
syj1 5pts Performance is awesome but this is still a 2 seater. I would take a Camaro even if its slightly slower because you still have a small backseat and larger trunk and fold down seats. The Z is great if its a weekend car but its not practical for most people. I'd rather have a cramped backseat than no backseat at all. At least the Vette is a 2 seater with tons of cargo space. The Z will beat up on the Camaro V6 (while costing a few grand more) but not the SS which costs about $1k more. The Z looks better than the old one but still looks worse than the Camaro.
JoeyG8GT 5pts I've noticed a lot of people comparing it to the Solstice GXP. Let's look at the facts:Solstice GXP starts at $28K-$29K. The 370Z starts at $30K or so. Power on the Solstice is 260 HP/TQ and the 370Z is 332HP/270TQ. Looking at their 0-60/ 1/4 mile times, the GXP get's to them in mid 5's and high 13's/low 14's. GM states, or so I've read, that a bump in power will take place to the Solstice (somewhere in the low 300's for HP?) as soon as 2009/2010, which would definetly help it's case to stay competative with the 370Z. As it stands though, I think this 370Z is a better buy than the current Solstice GXP. I'd be more than willing to shell out another grand or 2 to be that much quicker, and the styling is fantastic.
mkss 5pts spend a little more on a 335i, it has a lot cheaper insurance and is not a cop flag and it drives better while being just as fast.
Raycin_Jaysin 5pts If I had the cash I would take a G37x AND a 370Z over a GTR!As far as mods go the VQ has cams, intake MANIFOLDS, valvetrain pieces available, stroker kits, ECUs etc so 400+ NA rwhp is possible-not to mention single turbo, twin turbos, roots SCs, screw SCs & centrifugal SCs for massive hp gains.I still wish it was lighter-around 3,000 lbs but still some of the weight can be addressed with STILLEN suspension pieces (reduce unsprung weight & increase handling!) & some dry carbon pieces.I want one!!
STIC5 5pts Calpolytlo- I probably know more about the history of the Nissan Z (and all other cars) than you do. This new Z has been downsized to be slightly larger than a solstice coupe and anyone that says that rear end and spoiler isn't an awful lot like the Solstice Coupe's is in denial. I'm not saying Nissan did a Korean style copy, but they seem to have been inspired. You and all these other import fanboys are ridiculous. Keep on flaming me if you want but I'm not responding to it anymore.
calpolytlo 5pts "X-plicit is right. This 370z is great, but a little pricy and it looks better because they copied off of the Solstice Coupe styling a little. The Solstice GXP is probably going to have closer to 300 hp with its upgraded ecotec and have new suspension tricks. It's going to be a match for the new Z, and it will be fun to see a comparo. "Copied the Solstice styling???? are you kidding me??? you clearly know nothing about the history of the Z. . .go do some homework before you make a fool of yourself again
BrokenVow 5pts I don't know of any new Solstice/Sky, so as it stands, the competition is minimal between the 370 and the GXP's. At the track (ones with corners) I'm sure it will come down to driver skill, but in a straight line the gap between the two is as big as the gap between the 370z and a C6 Vette. The Solstice/Sky are sexy enough to sell on looks alone. And considering most sports car buyers can only heel toe in the sense that their heels hit the ground before their toes when they're walking, "better" is going to be subjective. If you're still mentally in high school and think having a faster car is important, you'll opt for the Z. (So long as you're limited financially.) So in boy racer land, of course the 370z is better. But not everyone is stupid enough to care about who able to be more reckless. Anyway, I'll be seriously considering one of these come January.
Bryanski 5pts Wow that thing rocks! The Solstice? LOL, that thing's a joke, a car for people who pose as sports car drivers. Please... this car walks all over it in style and performance. Park both of them next to each other and see which one draws the crowds. One thing though, what's with the butt-hole looking air diffuser at the bottom of the rear bumper? It looks out of place with the great design of the rest of the car.
CarNYC 5pts Why would anyone mention the Soltice on the same sentence as the Z? Anyways. This car is already a hit and it will make a lot of noise out there.

Hustle gets Jackets past Bend in 11 innings
As soon as the ball was put in play, Jake Gallaway took off running from home plate and Jordan Ellis took off from second base.
A bouncing ball allowed Gallaway to beat the throw to first for an infield single, and Ellis kept on going, scoring the winning run for the Kitsap BlueJackets as they defeated the Bend Elks 4-3 in 11 innings at Gene Lobe Field.
"Both sides played good and pitched good," Kitsap coach Ryan Parker said. "It was a great, exciting game."
It was the third straight win for Kitsap (13-33), which handed Bend its sixth straight loss. It's only the second three-game winning streak for Kitsap since they swept Cowlitz to start the season.
Kitsap goes for the four-game sweep over Bend (19-22) Saturday at 6:35 p.m.
"We've been playing with better confidence and have been real focused," Parker said. "These games are exciting to win, especially the way our season has gone."
Bend took a 3-2 lead in the ninth inning, but Kitsap tied the score in its half when Kasay Chapan singled, advanced on two outs, then scored on a passed ball.
There were two outs in the 11th when Gallaway came up as a pinch hitter with Ellis on second.
"I just put my head down and ran," Gallaway said.
Added Parker, "If (Jake) doesn't hustle, we're playing the 12th inning."
While Gallaway was hustling up to first, Ellis made it to third and didn't let up.
"I didn't see Gallaway make it," said Ellis. "I did see the umpire's safe call, so I kept running. Their first baseman didn't expect it."
Ellis' score touched off a celebration as his teammates burst out of the dugout and mobbed him at home plate.
Kitsap 4, Bend 3
Bend 020 000 001 00—3 6 2
Kitsap 000 200 001 01—4 11 2
Travis Radke, Daniel Grazzini (7), Jordan Spencer (9), Derek Peterson (9) and Kyle Gallegos; Allen Hewey, Drew Staples (8), Kyle McKay (9) and Ben Grubb. W—McKay. L—Peterson.
Leading hitters—Bend: Grant Newton 1-3 (2B), Will Sparks 2-5, Shawn O'Brien 1-4 (RBI). Kit: Jake Gallaway 1-1 (RBI), Jerad Casper 2-4, Scotty Burcham 1-4 (3B, RBI), Jordan Ellis 1-4.

text: Rebecca Taylor sent a teaser earlier in the week, saying Fall 2011 would be a collection inspired by "dimly lit nights in the chic Parisian night clubs of the 70's." We kept that lovely image in our heads as the models cruised the runway in silk printed dresses with beaded flowers and some fantastic sheer organza trousers layered under lurex tunics. The feminine collection was decidedly bohemian with long dresses and keyhole dresses, but had a richness thanks to shearlings, organza and chiffon, and plenty of beading. Someone pass the champagne, s'il vous plait!

Comments Thread For: Paul Williams: My Plan, To Change Ishida's Mind Real Quick
Paul Williams hardly knows anything about Nobuhiro Ishida.
The former welterweight and junior middleweight champion knows what we all know, that Ishida scored a shocking first-round knockout against James Kirkland on April 9 in Las Vegas. Beyond less than two minutes of action in that fight, in which Ishida dropped the previously undefeated Kirkland three times, Williams hasnt seen Ishida fight. [Click Here To Read More] |

directed by John Reinhardt
Bill Cannon (Dan Duryea) loses everything to alcohol: his job, his family, his self-respect. Soon after his wife and daughter leave him, he receives word his little girl has been injured in a car accident outside Chicago. His wife will call later with news, but Bill's short the $53 he needs to keep his phone from being disconnected. Filled with anguish, he heads out onto the Los Angeles streets to find some way to come up with the cash. As his character encounters expected cruelty and unexpected kindness, Duryea takes what might have been mere melodrama and turns it into a perceptive examination of one shattered soul. The other fine star of this race-against-the-clock programmer is an unglamorous, lunch-bucket L.A. rarely captured on film. |

Despite its noir-sounding title that is reminiscent to a few noirs with windy city in its heading (Chicago Confidential, Chicago Deadline, Chicago Syndicate), Chicago Calling is actually just a straight drama with an excellent, underrated Dan Duryea, this time playing a protagonist. Gordon Gebert, a young boy befriended by Dan Dureya, is another film noir veteran - he has major roles on The House on Telegraph Hill and The Narrow Margin. The B-picture is masterfully photographed by Robert De Grasse in and around LA. The single-layered MOD disc from Warner Archive is very good quality, despite a few damaged frames and the usual wear and tear of an archive print, including cigarette burns. The audio is consistent, although I did hear a few pops early in the picture. There are no subtitles provided, per usual standard, and no trailer. Despite a few shortcomings, this is a very well executed drama that can be recommended for Dan Duryea's masterful performance alone. |
