Bob Uecker to have heart surgery
Apr 27, 2010, 5:00 PM EDT
UPDATE: Turns out that Uecker is going to have his aortic valve replaced and his aortic root
replaced on Friday morning. The surgery was described by his doctor as "relatively common."
Trevor Hoffman, Prince Fielder, Rickie Weeks, Casey McGehee, Craig Counsell and Ken Macha were all at the presser, inspiring Uecker to say that "I'm part of the team." Uecker added "I don't ever want to quit . . . I look forward to
coming to the park every day. That's the highlight of the day."
Excuse me, but it just got a bit misty in here.
3:12 P.M.: Adam McCalvy reports that Brewers' broadcaster Bob Uecker is going to miss 10-12 weeks as a result of heart surgery, which he will undergo on Friday. There aren't many details yet, but the Brewers will be holding a press conference at 4:30PM eastern.
Uecker is best known to most of you as Harry Doyle from "Major League," or the dad from "Mr. Belvedere" or — if you're a bit older — the character from those old Miller Lite commercials from the 1970s and 80s, which were really "This is SportsCenter" before "This is SportsCenter" existed. He did a great job in those roles — and was absolutely killer on the "Tonight Show" back in the day — so that's totally cool.
But even if he had never become as famous as he has, Uecker would be known as a really a fantastic broadcaster. He's held the job since 1971, and if you've never had a chance to take in a Brewers' game he's doing you've really missed out. I was unlucky enough to get stuck in Milwaukee on a miserable three-week trial several summers ago and the only thing that made those three weeks bearable was Uecker calling Brewers games every night. He's got an easy delivery and demeanor that matches a midsummer night game absolutely perfectly.
Here's hoping Uecker gets well and gets back to calling games as soon as possible.
- BC - Apr 27, 2010 at 3:18 PM
Hopefully the heart issue was not caused by over-exertion in keeping track of the 7,434,345,754,954,047 runs the Brewers scored on the Pirates recently.
- Old Gator - Apr 27, 2010 at 3:27 PM
He must have had an absolute field day calling those Pirates games last week.
Take care and get well soon, Bob. You are loved out here.
- Ross - Apr 27, 2010 at 3:31 PM
Get well Mr. Uecker. A truly funny man and a great announcer.
- Jimmy Marlins Fan - Apr 27, 2010 at 3:43 PM
Dear Ueck,
listening to you talk baseball makes the best game in the world that much more enjoyable. i wish you a speedy recovery and hope to hear you call many a brewers loss to my beloved marlins
- Utley's hair - Apr 27, 2010 at 4:01 PM
Who knew that Gregg Zaun routine would have such far-reaching consequences? But here's hoping Ueck gets back to the front row soon.
- Simon DelMonte - Apr 27, 2010 at 4:11 PM
"Must be in the front row!"
Get better soon, Ueck.
- SouthofHeaven - Apr 27, 2010 at 4:46 PM
"Ball four."
"Ball eight!"
"Juuuuuuust a bit outside!"
- Rays fan - Apr 27, 2010 at 5:03 PM
"I don't ever want to quit . . . I look forward to coming to the park every day. That's the highlight of the day."

God Bless you Ueck, hope everything comes out just fine and we will be keeping your seat "down in the front row" open for you. Here's to a speedy recovery.

Jeez, Uke you gotta get well and keep broadcasting those Brewer games even though I'm from the hill in St. Louis and loved you even then. A little high but you're the man.
- Chris Simonds - Apr 28, 2010 at 7:07 AM
After watching the Tonight Show clip, I watched the Letterman clip – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D87sXQRCLM8&NR=1 – from ten years later. It is even funnier. The video quality is awful but it doesn't matter, it's the voice and the fake-modest, deadpan delivery. Mr. Uecker, you are a gem. Get well soon.
- John Burkhardt - Apr 28, 2010 at 11:32 AM
Ueck –
Get well soon we need ya – your a baseball treasure….you da man
- Omega in Colorado - Apr 28, 2010 at 12:43 PM
Mr. Uecker you and your family will be in my thoughts as you make a speedy recovery. There are few (if any) better in the business, baseball needs you around for a long long time.
now, as far as the doctors saying this is a "relatively common" surgery…well of course they can say that, they arent't the ones with someone digging around in their chests!
- Steve In Alabama - Apr 28, 2010 at 12:49 PM
Hey Mr. Baseball …. good luck on Friday and know we are all pulling for you.
- Dale Johnson - Apr 28, 2010 at 1:01 PM
You are by far the best announcer that I have ever heard. I have been listening to your radio broadcasts since I was 10 years old. The best part is sitting on the patio, sipping a few cold ones, cooking brats, and listening to Bob Uecker on the radio. Get well soon my friend, the broadcast won't be the same without you.
- Will in Milwaukee - Apr 28, 2010 at 1:07 PM
Mr. Uecker,
Good luck on the heart surgery. Hope to have you back calling games soon. Love your voice calling the games.
Look forward to hearing your token phrase 'Get up – Get outta here – gone'. Take care, you will be missed!!!
- ouchie102 - Apr 28, 2010 at 1:20 PM
From a diehard CUBBIE fan,I question your choice of team to root for.That being said GET WELL SOON. WE NEED MORE GUYS LIKE YOU "SITTIN IN THE FRONT ROW".

Arizona Coyotes
Jude Law, Channing Tatum share Super Bowl plans
NEW YORK (AP) - British actor Jude Law says he'll be taking part in a time-honored American tradition this weekend: Super Bowl Sunday.
"I follow most sports, so of course I'm aware of it and I'll probably watch it, but I live in London and so I don't follow it that closely. It's more than just a game here, though, right? It's like have a party. Have a dip. Drink some beer," said Law.
When asked if he'll be participating in any tailgate parties when the Baltimore Ravens face off against the San Francisco 49ers, Law admitted he had no clue what "tailgating" meant.
"Really? OK. I believe you. I don't know what you're talking about. I'm not even gonna say," he said, laughing.
Luckily his "Side Effects" co-star, Channing Tatum, said he'd teach Law about Americans football traditions. He said he was heading to his New Orleans bar, Saints and Sinners for the weekend and was hoping for a good game.
"I really kind of want Baltimore to pull it out for Ray (Lewis) because it's a sweet story but I really like San Francisco's quarterback and whatnot so I think it's gonna be a really good game," said Tatum.
The actors joined their castmates, including Catherine Zeta-Jones and Rooney Mara, at the New York premiere of their psychological thriller "Side Effects" on Thursday. The film opens in U.S. theaters next Friday.
Turns out Law and Tatum have more in common than Steven Soderbergh's latest film: They've both been named People's Sexiest Man Alive.
"Yeah, there's a complete handshake and like a password and whatnot. I can't tell you any of those. I know what your next question is. It's not gonna happen. They come and kill you- all of them. All of them together come and actually murder you. Yeah, everybody. They come and take you in the night and you disappear if you explain any of those secrets," joked Tatum, the current title holder.

ST. HELENS, Ore. -- Friends of a St. Helens woman killed in a car crash last July were grieving all over again on after vandals destroyed her roadside memorial Sunday.
Kristina Brixey died on July 22 near the intersection of Highway 30 and Bennett Road. The 23-year-old mom was on her way to work when she pulled into the path of a dump truck and was killed in the collision, police said.
Everytime I drive by here I always just take a glance (at the memorial) and see my friend, said close friend Molly Weston. This time I happened to glance over and I saw nothing.
Weston felt numb. She hoped she was mistaken, that the place where Brixey had died had not been desecrated.
As soon as I got here and saw that everything was gone it was devastating, said Weston.
Several potted flowers and an assortment of angels were gone. So were two crosses made by Brixey's friends, one of them hand-painted by Brixey's husband, with pink paint Brixey had bought herself.
At first I was really hurt, said Brixey's sister-in-law, Jennie Brixey. That somebody would do such a thing... (the hurt) kind of turned into anger and motivation like, somebody can't hurt us like that, we've already gone through enough.
She was one of the most amazing people I've ever known, said Weston.
As painful as finding the ruined memorial was, loved ones said it wouldn't stop them from rebuilding their place of solace and reflection for their friend.
We're going to make it more beautiful than it was before and if it gets destroyed again we're just going to keep doing it because we love her, vowed Weston.
A donation fund is still open at the St. Helens Federal Credit Union to help Brixey's husband and 2-year-old daughter.

Midwest Living Review
A self-guided walking tour visits historic sites in the Illinois river town of Alton.
A busy steamboat town near three major Midwestern rivers, the riverfront town of Alton played a role in many of the great issues of the 1800s. This trail--really a self-guided walking tour--leads to 10 spots around town, including the site of the final Lincoln-Douglas debate, remnants of a major Confederate prison and cemetery, and the home of the senator who authored the amendment to end slavery. Great signage, bronze statues, and the hip and informative brochure bring new insights into such topics as slavery, westward expansion and the Civil War. Pick up the Alton's Lincoln and Civil War Legacy Trail brochure from the Alton Regional Convention & Visitors Bureau or download it from the website.

Ain't 'bout what you walk away from, it's 'bout what you walk away with
Dead Presidents, them coffins vacant
I must be doin' somethin'
from Lil Wayne (Ft. Drake) – Believe Me Lyrics on Genius
There is a saying to not walk away from a good offer because that offer may never come up again, but Weezy is saying that isn't what matters. At the end of the day it's however many dollar bills, or dead presidents you're making that matter. This takes on new meaning when you consider that Carter V is most likely going to be his last album. Wayne might be walking away from the rap game, but he only cares that he is walking away with a lot of money.
Also holds a more clever, deeper meaning. The coffins are vacant because the dead presidents are in fact WITH Lil Wayne, a play on the slang meaning for $ and literal dead presidents.
This could also be a reference to the Jay Z track.
To help improve the quality of the lyrics, visit Lil Wayne (Ft. Drake) – Believe Me Lyrics and leave a suggestion at the bottom of the page

Looks good to me, shadow on one side under chin, is this caused by hand holding camera?

I like this. Looks like standardfront lit glamour lighting, softboxes and/or brollies. I would crop tighter personally but this is good. Could try standard portrait lighting, but this is better I think. (Main ligh 45 degrees left and high on one side, half power fill on other at head height, hair light and rim light, maybe?)
Nominating Constructive Critique
It was a ring flash in front at 45 with a brolly, shot onto a white sheet with a modelling lamp behind the sheet
My lighting has been awful, shadows everywhere, making models orange etc
Trying hard and improving little by little
Thanks for the critique guys, really appreciate it
Nominating Constructive Critique
Dont see a lot wrong with the lighting. Can you tell us what you see wrong?
Why arent you shooting in RAW, and are you calibrating the lighting white balance?
I can say that the shot lacks sharpness, but that might just be that you forgot to sharpen it between the re sizing and the uploading?
The style you are using will give a look with no light modelling, no shadows, the so called beauty lighting as Paul says above. It can be a little flat and featureless, - but it has its benefits also. Standard portrait can give a lot more character and detail in the face. This is an improvement on earlier shots, so if youve used the same lighting, I would say its improving.
As for the rest, other than sharpness, you could tone down some highlights in her hair, slightly alteration in colour balance for skin tones, otherwise nice.
Uploaded a quick mod with the tweaks done.

Better to be in here where voting is always disabled, but where you will learn a great deal if you wish to. As you say 'you are struggling' so if you wish it help is at hand in this gallery.
I won't add to the above as probably you wish to be elsewhere, but should you return you will always find good and constructive help from all sorts of members with many years of experience. You do need to describe what you are doing and what processing you are using to get the best out of critique.
I will say though, at quick galnce this is a super shot and well produced.
Nominating Constructive Critique
I agree with Paul - a fractionally tighter crop (losing the underarm gap, and havign less space at the sides, but without cropping the hair at all) would be good.
Lighting is better than fine: excellent. Shadows are meant to be there, and the slight one caused by the camera is not a problem.
However, there's an overall slightly plasticky feel to the picture, and I suspect this is a result of my Photoshop allergy... Others may positively like the odd textures this gives (and takes away), but for me it risks looking like an airbrush painting rather than a photograph. But this is, I know, a matter of taste and fashion. And I have no intention of "getting with the program" - I believe less is still more!

Mazzulla turns in game of his life vs. UK
Originally Published: March 27, 2010By Andy Katz | ESPN.com
SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Bob Huggins pulled Joe Mazzulla aside at halftime during West Virginia's game against Cincinnati in the Big East tournament.
Something wasn't right. Mazzulla wasn't being himself. The joy was gone, the assertiveness nowhere to be found in his game.
"I had a very good talk with him,'' Huggins said. "I didn't think he was Joe. He wasn't playing with great enthusiasm. He wasn't aggressive. I told him to be good, you have to be that way.''

U.S. Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis takes action to prevent workers' exposure to food flavorings chemical
The withdrawal will facilitate the Labor Department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) timely development of a standard to protect workers from bronchiolitis obliterans, a serious and potentially fatal lung disease associated with such an exposure.
"I am alarmed that workers exposed to food flavorings containing diacetyl may continue to be at risk of developing a potentially fatal lung disease. Exposure to this harmful chemical already has been linked to the deaths of three workers," said Secretary Solis. "These deaths are preventable, and it is imperative that the Labor Department move quickly to address exposure to food flavorings containing diacetyl and eliminate unnecessary steps without affecting the public's ability to comment on the rulemaking process."
Secretary Solis' interest in this issue began when she was a member of Congress and workers in her former
Withdrawing the ANPRM facilitates the convening of a small business advocacy review panel to determine the impact a proposed rule might have on small businesses and how those impacts can be reduced, consistent with the agency's statutory requirements. This panel process is required under the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act.
In keeping with President Obama's guidance to encourage public participation, collaboration and transparency in government, all materials submitted prior to this withdrawal, as well as any other information submitted directly to OSHA after the withdrawal, will be put in the public rulemaking docket and will receive appropriate consideration as a part of the overall rulemaking record.
Submit comments by mail, hand delivery or courier service to the OSHA Docket Office, Room N-2625, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Ave. N.W.,
Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, employers are responsible for providing a safe and healthful workplace for their employees. OSHA's role is to promote the safety and health of America's working men and women by setting and enforcing standards; providing training, outreach and education; establishing partnerships; and encouraging continual process improvement in workplace safety and health.

PREPS: A Q&A with El Camino softball player Jerrin Faasua
Q: Last year your team lost in the semifinals, so do this year's playoffs have a different feel for you as a senior making her last try for a CIF title?
A: I felt so bad for last year's seniors. I still had this year, but they were done because we couldn't pull it out.
Q: Considering your team is seeded No. 2 with a 21-6 record, is this the year to win a CIF title for the first time since 1994?
A: It would be great to win it all. Be a nice way for me to cap off senior year.

It's a question that has dogged man from the beginning of time: Is there life after death?
Now one scientist has a theory he says may prove that each person does have a soul that survives even after your heart stops beating.
Dr. Stuart Hameroff, an anesthesiologist and professor at the University of Arizona, shared his theory on a recent episode of the Science Channel series, Through The Wormhole, and RadarOnline.com has obtained a clip.
Morgan Freeman, who played God in the movie Evan Almighty, narrates the show that explores the mysteries of our existence. He says Hameroff's theory seems to provide a scientific link to the spiritual belief there is life after death.
PHOTOS: Celebrities Found Dead In Famous Hotels
In other words that "our souls are built from something much more fundamental than neurons; they are constructed from the very fabric of the universe."
Dr. Hameroff says: "I think that consciousness – or its immediate precursor… – has been in the universe all along, perhaps from the Big Bang."
PHOTOS: Celebrities We Lost In 2011
Put simply, he believes that when the heart stops beating the information stored in the brain – our consciousness – isn't destroyed but flows out to the universe. And that's why people who have near death experiences and are revived after being clinically dead, have memories of a "white light" or going through a "tunnel."
Dr. Hameroff says: "Let's say the heart stops beating, the blood stops flowing, the microtubules lose their quantum state.
PHOTOS: Celebrities Found Dead In Famous Hotels
"But the quantum information, which is in the microtubules, isn't destroyed. It can't be destroyed. It just distributes and dissipates to the universe at large.
"If the patient is resuscitated…this quantum information can go back into the microtubules and the patient says: 'I had a near-death experience. I saw a white light. I saw a tunnel. I saw my dead relatives. I may have even floated out of my body.'
PHOTOS: Celebrities We Lost In 2011
"Now, if they're not revived and the patient dies then it's possible that this quantum information can exist outside the body, perhaps indefinitely as a soul."
Dr. Hameroff presented this theory – known as Orch-OR (Orchestrated Objective Reduction) – in 1996 with English physicist Sir Roger Penrose. While some of their colleagues disagree with their work, he says: "So far nobody has landed a serious blow to the theory…"
PHOTOS: Celebs We Lost In 2010
If Hameroff is correct he may have proven the fundamental religious belief that when the body dies the soul lives on. Freeman says: "All of this recalls the Buddhist and Hindu belief that consciousness is an integral part of the universe and perhaps it is all there in the universe."

"Gaines' novel brings to mind other great works: The Odyssey, for the way his heroine's travels manage to summarize the American history of her race; and Huckleberry Finn for the clarity of her voice, for her rare capacity to sort through the mess of years and things to find the one true story of it all." (Newsweek)
"At great listen"
This was such a lovely account of a time we no longer want to think of as part of america. The story tells a sad story with a main charater that has such a positive attitude we could all learn from.
"Important read"
Time well spent, I enjoyed the intricate details even from the earliest stages of life recalled by this 100+ Woman!!!
"Excellent Story"
I really enjoyed this book. The story was compelling and the narration was very good. However, there were jumps and skips in the recording that were very discordant to the listening.
Book Monger
"Two Thumbs Down"
I'm not sure if it was the story line or the narration but this was the worst book I have ever listened to. It was not a compelling story line and the "He said" "she said" "they said" was so so overused.
The teaser promised a great biography, spanning 100+ years, about and told through the eyes of a former slave. In reality, this book was a collection of unrelated events that occurred over the lifetime of this woman. Most events were unremarkable and there was no conclusion.
"Needs an editor!"
I wish I could have seen this play with Cicely Tyson in the 60's. I'm sure it was edited time-wise and very powerful. It's still a good story, and may be a true story, but the unabridged version sort of rambles, and is a few hours too long.

A 'Cabin' is defined in the Larimer County Land Use Code as: 'A structure that contains at least one habitable room for living, sleeping, eating, cooking or sanitation that is designed, arranged and intended to be occupied by one occupant or living unit. 1. A Cabin that includes a primary heat source and living facilities for sleeping, eating, cooking and sanitation will be considered to be a single-family dwelling. 2. Cabins are permitted in the applicable zoning districts (See Section 4.1 [of the Larimer County Land Use Code]) only in the West Half of Range 70, in Ranges 71-78 and in Townships 11 and 12.'
Interpretation Note: To be classified a single-family dwelling and receive a CO, the following items must be present:
If any one of the above listed items is NOT present, the structure will be classified as a Cabin. See the above 10 listed items concerning Cabins.
The term 'cabin' presented a problem in the past in the enforcement of Larimer County's zoning regulations. All of the zoning districts, except for the business, commercial and industrial zones, allow single-family dwellings. The definition of 'dwelling' previously included a restriction that the building had to contain at least 600 square feet. Historically, the Building Department issued building permits for residential structures in the mountainous areas of the County containing less than 600 square feet and called them "cabins.'
The distinction between a dwelling and a cabin is determined by how the building is constructed, rather than by the size of the structure or the amount of time the building is occupied during the year.
According to the Building Code, a dwelling must have living facilities for cooking, eating, sleeping and sanitation and it must have a permanent heat source, such as a furnace, that will maintain a constant temperature in the structure to prevent the plumbing from freezing during cold weather. A structure that lacks any of the living facilities or a permanent heat source is a cabin.
Since cabins have always been allowed, changes were made to the Larimer County Land Use Code to clarify the difference between a cabin and a single-family residence. It is important to note that a cabin is a principal use that precludes a property owner from having more than one cabin or a cabin and a dwelling on the same parcel. Listing 'cabin' as a principal use in the appropriate zoning districts addressed this concern.
In summary, the following sections of the Larimer County Land Use Code were revised:

SE leaking radiator cap
Hi guys,
Long story short, bike was on side stand today then i put it up straight and the entire overflow coolant bottle gushed on the ground by the top of the radiator cap ( where the tube connect to some sort of flimsy elbow ).
That elbow or whatever it is , is super loose you can press on it with your finger and see it move.
Is there any aftermarket caps better than this? :huh
This is the most ridiculous radiator cap i have ever saw.
Thanks for any info.
If you still have an issue, Replacement caps are pretty cheap and a good part to have an extra one of lying around. I replaced mine at 10K. Miles.
Munn Racing is a great source. (munnracing.com)
All in all, a small issue to deal with when compared to the enjoyment factor of the ride!!
SE cap issues
Dan, The elbow, (and its position) is a design fault and a critical week point , as if it gets a hit from a wayward stick in the bush, or your Safari tank takes a side hit and flexes onto it, you may dislodge it or break it off , its frustrating that they made such an awsome bike and fell short on such a simple design oversight,among others, (i loved my SE and should not have sold it).
Check that the O ring that seals the swivelling 90 Deg elbow is not disrupted from its groove, and - as mentioned, no grime is upsetting its position.
Cheers John.
Thanks for the info guys will do just that.
Will pop off the cap and check inside if there is anything weird inside.
If not will order a new cap...

Sadly wood worms have had a few good meals from the sides of it.
It has its hinges, lock & side handles.
The lid is beautifully made from one plank of wood, slightly domed & naturally polished.
Could be a large travelling coffer.

At yesterday's IAB webinar "Digital Transformation or Disruption? – DSPs, Digital Advertising, and the Changing Role of the Agency, " Michael Jenkins, Sr. Communication Strategist at Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, explained how they used real-time ad personalization in a series of campaigns promoting Adobe's new CS5 software suite. According to Jenkins, they aggregated real-time response metrics and used tagging mechanisms to leverage these metrics immediately, "pushing [users] further down the funnel in real time." For example, users who spent a lot of time on a particular product page were then shown offers for that specific product as they browsed the web, whereas users who downloaded a software trial might be targeted with product bundles. The beauty of this of campaign tactic is the real-time relationship that the advertiser creates between the users and the campaign itself.
Another interesting take-away from the webinar was Steve Weeks' use of the term "Brand-Demand" to describe Adobe's digital campaigns that work simultaneously for branding and direct response. (Weeks is Adobe's Sr. Manager of Worldwide Advertising.) In the presentation, Jenkins took a slide to remind the audience how, before digital, these two types of advertising were kept in separate silos — the brand advertising guys on one side of the fence, the DR guys on the other. But recent studies have shown that in the digital world, response-geared campaigns can have latent branding impacts (like increased trademark search in the weeks following a campaign), and likewise, real-time data generated from brand campaigns can be incorporated into DR efforts. According to Weeks and Jenkins, this "Brand-Demand" mentality for digital is one that has served Adobe well.
"Brand-Demand" is at the very heart of RTB eCommerce. First comes the pure "demand" bit, the retargeting. For this layer of targeting, the advertiser's proprietary data from past campaigns is married to real-time browsing data in order to deliver dynamic creative to in-market users. Then, on the "brand" side, statistical analysis can help advertisers discover new prospects that are likely to convert when they are shown a highly targeted message. This second layer enables advertisers to reach this audience of new users both with brand messages, and — as the response data leads — with offers and active messaging that encourages them to try or buy. As Jenkins explained, this process helps to propel prospects further down the funnel using dynamic messaging powered by real-time data.
Sound complicated? It doesn't have to be — just let us do the heavy (data) lifting.

Payoff issue: House panel won't summon Genuino
MANILA, Philippines—So what if the payoff happened two years after?
Bayan Muna party-list Representative Teodoro Casiño on Thursday urged the House committee investigating allegations of malfeasance to summon former Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. (Pagcor) Chairman Efraim Genuino and his purported bagman, Rodolfo Soriano, to its next hearing on an alleged bribe they received from Japanese billionaire Kasuo Okada's Universal Entertainment Corp.
But Rep. Amado Bagatsing, chairman of the committee on games and amusement, agreed to invite only Soriano, a former Pagcor consultant, saying there was nothing to link Genuino to the bribery charge "so far."
"We will invite Soriano in the meantime because there is still no link with Genuino so far," Bagatsing told the Inquirer in a text message.
At the committee's initial hearing on Wednesday, Bagatsing appeared cool to the idea that Soriano, or Genuino, had pocketed $15 million in combined payoffs made in 2010—two years after Okada's Tiger Resort Leisure and Entertainment Inc. secured a provincial license to operate from Pagcor.
Tiger was among four companies allowed to operate casinos in Entertainment City, which is being built on 120 hectares of reclaimed land on Manila Bay.
"I don't know if any businessman would do that, pay off an outgoing (official), and you already had a license for the last two years," Bagatsing had said at the hearing.
"These people have reputations to protect, so give us reasons to really compel them to attend," he had added.
But Casiño, the chief proponent of the House inquiry, said "the inconvenience to Soriano and Genuino is nothing compared to the need to know the truth."
"Does it matter if the payoff happened two years later? These projects are constantly under review, and the license was provisional, always subject to review," he said.
"I hope the committee considers this serious issue that's worth more than the inconvenience of the two," he added.
"Sometimes for a project of this magnitude, they let the (payoff) sleep first," Casiño said in Filipino. "But the fact that there was a payoff should be a cause for concern."
At the hearing, Tiger general manager Masahiro Terada briefed the representatives on the cases filed in Tokyo by Okada against three former employees over the separate disbursements of $5 million and $10 million to companies identified with Soriano.
Terada said the $5 million represented a "guarantee fee." A Reuters report on November 16 said the money went to People's Technology Ltd., a company that listed Soriano as its sole owner.
The $10 million was allegedly moved to Subic Leisure and Management Ltd.

He has created temporal rifts at the beginning of time and at its end. His goal is to have the rifts eat away time. At the end of time, the Time Trapper tries to stop him, and is destroyed.Meanwhile, Metron of the New Gods has detected the temporal anomalies and brings them to Darkseid's attention. Darkseid decides to wait the storm out, so Metron enlists the aid of Superman. The Linear Men also detect the anomalies, and send Waverider and Rip Hunter to investigate. Waverider appears in the 64th century, where the Flash is fighting Abra Kadabra. The temporal anomaly absorbs the 64th century, including both Flash and Kadabra. Waverider and Hunter escape into the past, with Flash's costume to serve as a warning.With time in flux, Batman and Robin encounter Batgirl capturing the Joker. This Batgirl is a version of Barbara Gordon who was never paralyzed. Batman meets up with Superman, and the two are approached by Metron. Superman and Metron find Green Lantern Kyle Rayner, who uses his ring to send an alert to the heroes of Earth, to warn them of the time anomalies, and to gather them to fight against the rifts.Meanwhile, the rifts continue to converge towards the 30 century. In the 58th century, the century of Pol Manning, Rip Hunter and Waverider try again. Waverider, Rip Hunter, and time traveling Green Lantern Hal Jordan try to sop the rift, and fail. Back in the 20th century, the Justice Society of America find the captured Vandal Savage disappears, when the era he was born in is destroyed by the rift. Waverider appears to the Justice Society, and gives Jay Garrick Flash's costume. As the Justice Society prepares for action, Extant takes over the Linear Men's Vanishing Point.

Pepsi White will mark its debut in Japan on December 11. The cola will be clear in color and taste of tangerines, as mandarin oranges are associated with the upcoming Japanese New Year. A few years back though, the Pepsi production team came out with a yogurt variation of the cola under the same name.
The flavor is joining the Pepsi limited edition family such as Pepsi Pink, Pepsi Black and Pepsi Salty Watermelon.

scalloped corn...I don't know the recipe off the top of my head, but its something like a can of corn and canned creamed corn, sugar, saltines and eggs? Bake for an hour or so..good stuff!
I am all about the easy this year, so I am doing my stuffing in the crock pot, one less thing in the ooven!
Baked mac and cheese? the kind with a crumbly topping? I don't have a recipe because I always make it a little different. But it is so easy to make and impossible to screw up!

Oh, and we always have corn on the cob (with butter, of course.) Doesn't get any easier then that! At this time of year we don't grill them. We just snap them in half and throw them in a pot of boiling water.

Squash casserole
- 2 pounds yellow squash
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 cup water
- 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
- 8 ounces sour cream
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/2 package cornbread stuffing
- Slice the squash, put in pan with chopped onion, and cover with water. Cook at medium heat until tender.
- Put squash with liquid in a 2 1/2 quart casserole. Stir in chicken soup, sour cream, and melted butter. The liquid from the cooked squash should be enough so that mixture is slightly soupy. Add stuffing mix on top. The bread will absorb some of the liquid.
- Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) until lightly browned and bubbly, approximately 30 to 45 minutes.
We usually use cream of celery soup because we have a lot of vegetarian friends. But this is always a hit!

Baked Pineapple
2 eggs 2-3 Tbsp. cornstarch (I'd use the 3 Tbsp)
1 cup sugar 1 can crushed pineapple with juice
2 Tbsp. butter
Beat eggs, cornstarch and sugar together. Mix egg mixture into pineapple
and pour into casserole dish. Dot with butter and sprinkle with cinnamon. When you "dot" with butter, cut butter into small little chunks and put all over the top of the pineapple mixture
Bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees. Serve with ham or pork.

Cornbread Casserole

1 stick of softened butter (I know but its so yummy)
1 cup of sour cream
1 box of Jiffy corn muffin mix
Mix all that together and put it in a casserole dish top with shredded chedder cheese. Bake at 350 for 40 mins.

Need help identifying this sailing dinghy

Not sure exactly how the bottom looks as I've been having trouble getting it out of the water.
It's up the Miami river and I'm trying to get it to a boat ramp so that I can get her home to work on. The closest ramps that I can find are about 5-10 miles away, and rowing that far isn't a great idea for me.
So if I could sail it to the boat ramp it'd be a lot more fun for my wife and I.
I'm hoping that I can find a sailplan or just wondering if a traditional mainsail from a MFG Sidewinder would fit (
From what I can see of the bottom she is very wine glassy.
there was apparently a daggerboard at one time, but that's been glassed over; and the holes ripped out of the deck appear to be where the rigging attached, including a possible forestay on the stem.
you can see the unique shape of the transom and rudder in the reflection...
Thanks again for any help.

This book (the result of meditation and experience) is not intended as an exhaustive treatise on the much written upon subject of the power of thought. It is suggestive rather than explanatory, its object being to stimulate men and women to the discovery and perception of the truth that - "They themselves are makers of themselves" - by virtue of the thoughts which they choose and encourage. That mind is the master weaver, both of the inner garment of character and the outer garment of circumstance, and that, as they may have hitherto woven in ignorance and pain, they may now weave in enlightenment and happiness.

"The Narrator Simply Reads - like a Robot"
I bought this because As A Man Thinketh is very inspirational. The narrator, however, read this book like a chore, more like a humanized robot to me. Boring. There are other audiobook for the same title. I suggest Earl Nightingale instead.
"Classic self-mastery lessons!"
This is a must read gem! Short, simple and thought-provoking! Buy the audio book and elevate! Think well and live well.
"A must read!"
Loved It!!!!!!! I can't understand why this is not a mandatory reading assignment in all schools.
"great book"
love this book. I'm not a book reader but this book is very good start.
"Must for anyone"
Recommend this to anyone hustling out there. This book is so true in words and will bring you confidence in life
"What Meat and Potatoes are to a man of hard labor"
Since this book is short, it can/must be read at least once a week. Thereby can a man keep near him those things which build,protect and nurtures his soul.
"Avoid this version - terrible narration"
Yes, but not this version. As stated, the narrator is lousy.
Enjoyed those moments that talked about a man's ability to shape himself according to his own visions of perfection.
In two words: hello no. This gentleman is in the wrong line of work. He should consider auto insurance commercial voiceovers if he's determined to do audiowork for pay.
Choice dictates all.
Regret that this narrator was able to so completely ruin this experience for me. I really must give credit to great narrators: their artistry is easy to take for granted until you hear a lousy one.
"No punctuation."
Apparently the narrators script had no punctuation. It is unbearable to listen to. As a Man Thinketh is a great work try another narrater.
This is a profound book and I see why it's a classic. Even though it is relatively short there is much to be gleaned here.
I believe you have to be ready to understand the context of the book. At the very least read a number of times to grab the impact and context

When english release? 13 december or christmas 2011? :D
Dec 20, it comes out on STEAM. I've played the Russian version, and it is sweet! Mike Jaret from Running With Scissors said that if Half-Life 2 and Portal can run, than Postal 3 will run perfectly, but that's not true. H-L 2 and Portal run perfect on my machine, but Postal 3 is very very choppy, even with all the graphics turned all the way down.
Just a little comment... We Americans, would never EVER go to Mexico... Canada beats mexico, so if this were to ever happen, thats where we would go. I mean which makes more sense, America to **** country ( mexico ) , or America to Ok country ( canada )?
If this will be better than postal 2 i will love this game!
Awesome, can't wait to see what Racist jokes and crude humor are in this game :D one of the jokes from Postal 2 made me laugh, Terrorist store keeper and his war cries XD

Regarding Ama
The last time Philippine Daily Inquirer interviewed actress Ama Quiambao was in 2012, after a screening of the digitally-restored version of National Artist Ishmael Bernal's "Himala." She said watching the movie made her miss colleagues who had passed on—Bernal, coactors Ray Ventura and Veronica Palileo, film editor Ike Jarlego.
Quiambao joined these departed coworkers on Friday night, a week after collapsing onstage during a performance of "Pamamanhikan," a one-act play at the Virgin Labfest 9 of the Cultural Center of the Philippines.
She was 66.
Ricky Lee, scriptwriter of "Himala," recalled that Quiambao auditioned for the role of one of the friends of faith healer Elsa (portrayed by Nora Aunor) in the 1982 film. But since she had had salt-and-pepper hair since she was 30, Quiambao ended up playing Sepa, the healer's successor. The role fetched a best supporting actress nomination for the critics' Urian awards.
Fast learner
Before that first film, she had acted in numerous plays, most of them directed by Rolando Tinio (who would also be a National Artist).
"She was a fast learner," said filmmaker Joel Lamangan, "Himala" crowd director. "She played her role with intelligence."
"She looked saintly … while (costar) Vangie Labalan regaled us with stories about her love life," reported filmmaker Ellen Ongkeko-Marfil, assistant to the "Himala" line producer.
Lee and Quiambao had been text mates of late. "She had wanted for the longest time to enroll in my writing workshop. We were to start next month."
A teacher and actress (she held a masters degree in Teaching Drama Education from the University of the Philippines in Diliman), Quiambao assiduously pursued her craft to the very end.
She finished three indie movies this year: Cesar Evangelista's "Amor y Muerte" for Cinemalaya, Mes de Guzman's "Ang Kwento ni Mabuti" for Cine Filipino and Archie del Mundo's "Ang Misis ni Meyor." She was in the cast of Adolfo Alix Jr.'s rom-com, "Each Day With You." "Ang Kwento ni Mabuti" reunited her with "Himala" lead star Aunor.
Marife Necesito, actress-producer of "Ang Misis," described Quiambao as "kind, humble, cheerful and inspiring." De Guzman agreed: "She was very professional, always smiling … and she loved to laugh. But when we discussed serious matters, there was wisdom in her words."
Quiambao won best actress in Cinemalaya's New Breed section last year for De Guzman's "Diablo." Lee, one of the jurors, recounted: "After the awards ceremony, when I told her that her triumph was a unanimous decision, she embraced me and said: 'May himala! (Miracles do happen!)'"
She didn't expect to win. She said: "Luckily, it was a night for senior citizens. Credit goes to indie filmmakers for daring to make movies about the elderly."
Quiambao considered herself a late bloomer. Married to the late opera singer Gamaliel Viray, she often played nuns, aunts and grandmothers (and once, a judge) in mainstream movies and TV soap operas.
But it was in indie films that she was allowed to shine, and brightly. Alix volunteered, "She was sweet and cooperative. She learned to play mahjong for her scenes with Tita Anita (Linda) and Tita Boots (Anson-Roa)."
Evangelista reminisced: "Working with her was such a cool, uplifting experience. She digested, dissected and took to heart each role she played. She gave young costars (Althea Vega and Markki Stroem) free acting lessons. But she had a rowdy sense of humor. She loved life."
Stroem said, "I will never forget her last text to me: 'You are one of the most studious actors I've ever worked with. Keep dreaming.'"
The Theater Actors Guild is staging a fundraiser for Quiambao Monday night at the Taumbayan in Quezon City. The wake is at the Arlington Memorial Chapels in Quezon City. According to her son, Ishmael Viray, her body will be cremated Tuesday.

GREEN BAY, WI - OCTOBER 18: Clay Matthews #52 of the Green Bay Packers celebrates a sack against the Detroit Lions at Lambeau Field on October 18, 2009 in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The Packers defeated the Lions 26-0. (Photo by Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images)
Before I start, I want to state that I am a huge Clay Matthews fan. Who doesn't love him in the Fathead commercials and his sack celebrations? With that being said, sports contracts shouldn't be about how much you like a player. At the end of the day, franchises are businesses and players should be viewed as assets/liabilities.Matthews signed his new contract with $69.77 million in new money over the next six years, making him the NFL's higest paid linebacker. Matthews would have made $3.73 million this season before he signed his extension, but now he's making $22 million in 2013. Let's not forget the Packers are also working on a contract extension with Arron Rodgers, which may make him the highest paid quarterback in NFL history. The Packers are just eating away at their salary cap this season and it can only hurt them in the long run.I'm not sure about anyone else but I'm a little worried when players who suffer injuries during the end of a season get front-loaded, long-term con...
