Welcome to Tribe Talk, where our panel of Cleveland Indians fans weigh in on the ups and downs of the club each week throughout the season.
This week, we discuss the Tribe's terrible luck with injuries this season, Fausto Carmona's All-Star Game nod, and the long-awaited emergence of Matt LaPorta.
I would like to thank this week's participants Lewie Pollis, The Coop, and Nino Colla for their contributions. This discussion is open to all, so please feel free to comment below and pitch in your thoughts on the questions we're addressing this week.
Go Tribe!
1. First it was Grady. Then it was Asdrubal. Now it's Shin-Soo Choo who is headed for a lengthy stint on the DL.
Choo sustained a sprained thumb last Friday diving for a ball. What at first appeared to be a minor injury is now believed to potentially require surgery and could keep the right fielder out until September.
Is the Tribe EVER going to catch a break?
Do you really think Choo will be out until September, and if so, how will this impact the team's performance? How do you think the adapted outfield of Crowe in left, Brantley in center, and Kearns in right will fare?
One more thing: At the risk of being a harbinger of doom, who's next? Will we lose another important roster member to the DL soon?
Samantha Bunten: As a Cleveland fan, it's tempting to meet this question with a blank stare and mumble something like, "Catch a break?" What does THAT mean? The only thing the Tribe seems to be catching this season is the injury bug, and yes, I did also mean that as a knock on our abysmal defense.
We lost our two best defenders in Sizemore and Cabrera, and our best hitter in Choo. That would be tough for any team to absorb, but the Tribe's lack of depth has made the impact of the injuries even more glaring.
As far as the outfield in its current state, Brantley has improved but still has a long way to go, Kearns has cooled off, but is certainly still doing his job, and Crowe...well...you all know how I feel about that.
Who's next? Well, if the pattern continues, you have to assume it will be Mitch Talbot or Chris Perez. And the shot to the head LaPorta took from Elvis Andrus on Monday was eerily ironic given LaPorta's recent impressive improvement.
Nino Colla: Oh boy...This is just deflating to see. Not just the injury but the fact that he'll be out for the next two months? Man, just man.
I don't know if they are ever going to catch a break, but this is certainly annoying to continue to see year after year. Just once, even if the team isn't going to compete, you'd like to see your best player have a good season from start to finish.
I don't know how it will impact the team, but it certainly isn't going to help. They'll have to depend on Carlos Santana, Travis Hafner, and Matt LaPorta to carry the offense and that is a tough task for those three with the supporting parts right now.
The outfield will be fine for now. I want to see Jordan Brown now though. If he isn't up at some point, there is something really wrong. They have the space, and if they trade Kearns they will have no excuse not to give him a shot.
Lewie Pollis: I don't think there's much to say about this besides that it sucks. Though the image of Trevor Crowe having some job security makes me want to vomit.
The Coop: I can only assume your question about the Indians ever catching a break is rhetorical, because the next break any Cleveland team catches will be the first one.
Regardless of whether or not Choo needs surgery, the most important thing is that the Indians do not rush him back. Put him on the shelf for the rest of the year if you have to, but there's no sense in jeopardizing the future and long-term health of one of the best players on the team.
As far as the team is concerned, anytime you lose a guy who means as much to his team as Choo means to the Tribe, there's going to be a painful drop-off. Let's not forget that there was a reason Brantley was sent down before May.
My only hope is that he has become a better player after suffering through his early season struggles. His latest stint in Columbus might be just what he needed to regain his focus and confidence. Plus, with the Indians out of it, he should feel a lot less pressure.
And for the record, I fully expect Fausto Carmona to incur some sort of freak injury while attending the All-Star Game, putting him on the DL for the rest of the year. Tendinitis in the elbow from holding his video camera during the Home Run Derby, perhaps?
2. On Sunday Fausto Carmona was selected as the Indians representative for the 2010 All-Star Game.
Do you think Fausto deserves to be an All-Star? Was he really the best choice to represent the Indians in the Midsummer Classic?
Who would you have chosen to represent the team? Why?
Samantha Bunten: The nod should have gone to Choo, no question. As it stands, he's the only player on the team who by rights might belong on an All-Star roster without that "every team has to have one player on the squad" designation attached.
Given Choo's unfortunate injury though, I like the pick of Carmona. I'm not sure he truly has given the performance necessary to be nominated, but you have to love that a guy who was so bad that he was banished to rookie ball just one year ago has improved so much that he's now an All-Star representative.
Nino Colla: Is Fausto an All-Star this year? I don't really think so. I think it is awesome that he made it and I'm glad there will be an Indian in the game after all.
However, other pitchers in the AL got left off the roster for him being on it. Jered Weaver is one name that comes to mind, but I don't think it was an huge travesty that Carmona did make it over a few other AL pitchers.
Shin-Soo Choo should have been this club's representative. It sucks he won't get the honor and it sucks he got hurt and wouldn't have been able to play anyway, but he deserved to at least have the honor attached to his name. Choo has the best offensive numbers in virtually every category and he deserved the nod.
Lewie Pollis: It shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone that I'm not Carmona's biggest fan, but since we can't have Choo, I can't really justify being angry.
He absolutely doesn't deserve to be an All-Star over, say, Francisco Liriano, but he's probably the best the Indians have to offer.
I had one other possibly crazy idea that I think merits consideration: Carlos Santana. He's been absolutely insane; his .436 wOBA would rank third in the game if he had enough at-bats to qualify.
The main argument against him would be his lack of playing time, but given that he's produced more in 28 games than All-Star John Buck has in a full season (1.4 to 1.3), I don't think it the smallness of the sample size matters.
The Coop: The last time I spoke on who the Indians' All-Star representative should be, I thought it was obvious, so I didn't name anyone. But a few other people didn't necessarily agree with my choice of Choo, so maybe I should have clarified.
Hands down, Shin-Soo Choo should be there. Obviously, his injury could not have happened at a worse time. But to me, there isn't any debate on this topic. Austin Kearns? Seriously? Since when does .260 / 7 / 35 get you to the All-Star game?
Is Fausto Carmona the next best choice? Maybe, maybe not. Sure, his stats aren't exactly reminiscent of Nolan Ryan, but considering that he's come back from the depths of hell (Rookie Ball) to be among the team leaders in virtually every statistical category is enough for me. I hope that this opportunity increases his confidence and helps him return to his 2007 form for good. He deserves it.
3. Since being recalled from Triple-A Columbus after Russell Branyan was traded to the Mariners, Matt LaPorta has been a pleasant surprise.
With a .236 average and just four home runs on the season, LaPorta obviously still has a long way to go before he can reach the level of play he's reportedly capable of. Still, you can't deny that LaPorta is finally looking like the guy we thought we were getting from Milwaukee way back when we sent them CC Sabathia in 2008.
Over the last week, LaPorta is hitting .360 with 3 home runs and seven RBIs. Do you think LaPorta is finally having his breakthrough? What do you think changed since his last stint in the majors at the beginning of the season?
How much do you think it will help LaPorta to have the bulk of the at-bats at first base, as opposed to having to share time with Branyan as he did before? Do you think LaPorta is finally here to stay, or is there a chance he lands back in Columbus again before the end of the season?
Samantha Bunten: As much as I've been glad to see LaPorta's breakthrough, I'm more relieved than impressed. The Sabathia trade looks a little better now.
I don't mean to take anything away from LaPorta though - he clearly took his demotion seriously and made good use of his time back in Triple-A.
He still strikes out too much and looks like he's swinging for the fences on pitches where he should just be trying to make contact, but he does appear to have found his power stroke and while it still needs work, his pitch selection has definitely improved.
I do think he's here to stay, and I don't think he'll be ceding too many of the at-bats at first base except for routine days off. The pressure will be on LaPorta to perform now though; with the Branyan trade, there really isn't anyone on the roster who can absorb some of the at-bats at first, which made it that much scarier for the Tribe when Elvis Andrus tried to kill LaPorta on Monday.
Nino Colla: I think Matt LaPorta just got some confidence and support. Just knowing you are going to be in the lineup every day and knowing you are also going to be playing one certain position each day does a lot for the mind.
I think this is finally Matt's time to shine. He has regular playing time, the team is backing him and trading Branyan proves that. He's confident, and he appears to be healthy. He's got everything on his side right now.
He's not trying too hard like he was earlier in the year and things are just coming easy for him right now. I think he's here to stay and would be shocked to see him back in Columbus at any point.
Lewie Pollis: Now that's more like it. If nothing else, this should be a confidence boost for the Tribe. Consistent playing time at an easier position can only help LaPorta. Obviously a surge this strong won't last, but it sure is nice to see him finally doing something.
On the other hand, there are still some things to worry about--namely, his plate discipline. He's hacked at over 30 percent of pitches out of the strike zone this year, and hasn't done particularly well with them, with an O-Contract rate under 62 percent.
His strikeout rate has actually been worse since his promotion (27 percent) than it was before he got sent down (21 percent).
The Coop: By all accounts, LaPorta is finally healthy, comfortable and not worrying about re-injuring himself. If that's all it took for him to look like the prospect the Indians thought they were getting, then that's great.
But I'm actually sensing a common theme here. The Indians have seemingly found guys with the right attitude. My guess is that LaPorta, like Fausto Carmona, used his time in the minors to refocus and regain his confidence. You can trot out all the statistics and sabermetrics you want; there's no way to truly measure these intangibles.
Giving LaPorta that bulk of the playing time at first base is going to be great for him. Like Brantley and most other young Indians, the pressure should be off. Now, these guys can relax and work on becoming better players each day, so they can contribute to the long-term success of the organization.
At this point, there would be virtually no reason to send him back to Columbus. The Indians need to find out what he can do in the big leagues, plain and simple. We all know what he can do in the minors.
4. In just one week, we will have reached the midpoint of the 2010 season.
While we knew this would be a tough year for the Tribe, so far the team has struggled even more than we thought they would.
Please list 5 things you think the Indians have done wrong, or have been a central cause of their struggles this season.
Samantha Bunten: 1. Unproductive players like Luis Valbuena were allowed to hang around the roster way too long before being ousted. Jhonny Peralta has been violating this one for years.
2. Horrible, horrible defense. The kind that loses games all on its own.
3. Having to utter the phrase "Andy Marte is the best option" when asked who should be starting at third base.
4. Sizemore, Cabrera, and Choo are all on the DL, while Crowe and Peralta stubbornly refuse to hurt themselves.
5. The complete vanishing act of the fan base. I want to get mad about this, but really, can you blame them?
Nino Colla: 1. Signing Russell Branyan was a mistake, no question.
2. Injuries to guys like Cabrera have made it a necessity to hold onto guys like Anderson Hernandez, but I'd still like to see Josh Rodriguez at some point.
3. Early season hitting woes were surprising.
4. I think Kerry Wood being out hurt the bullpen depth early.
5. Luis Valbuena and Lou Marson.
Lewie Pollis: 1. Miserable defense. Our collective -36.8 UZR is worst in the game, by a mile
2. Giving regular playing time to Jhonny Peralta.

Roberto Mancini: too many ideas, too few good ones
It seems so absurd, but the facts are neutral and immutable: the best team in England in 2011-12 are not even one of the top 24 teams in Europe in 2012-13. Manchester City were already out of the Uefa Champions League when they went into their match against Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday night, but their 1-0 defeat at the claustrophobic Westfalenstadion saw them finish bottom of their group. City did not even make the Europa League.
"You cannot be embarrassed when you play 100 per cent," Mancini said, looking a touch embarrassed. "I do not feel we lost our application but if you want to win games you have to score and at the moment we have this big problem. When we have a chance, we do not convert it. We need to resolve this."
As explanations go, this was remarkably unintelligent from one of the game's deep thinkers. If, with proven internationals, you score freely in the league but not in Europe, a pattern begins to develop. A better explanation for City's malaise would be this: they struggled in Europe because their forwards, usually so impressive in the Premier League, seemed so easy to stop, and their midfield players seemed unable to unlock more disciplined opponents. Remember, it was the same last season for City in Europe.
Europe requires the kind of nuance that Mancini seems to lack. For all his thinking and tactical tinkering, he seems to have too many ideas but too few good ones. It is not enough to construct the most expensive team in history. Make the chequebook available and anybody can do that.
In mitigation, Group D was the toughest in the competition: Real Madrid are among the favourites, Borussia among the dark horses, and one should never discount Ajax. The English champions should probably always be seeded, irrespective of the particular club's past European record. However, six matches, no victories, and just seven goals scored is the form of a team that had no business playing at such a level. Even Blackburn Rovers in 1995-96 were not this bad.
It is becoming increasingly evident that what works in the Premier League does not necessarily work in Europe, and vice-versa. It took Alex Ferguson six years to turn Manchester United from the best team in England in 1993 to the best in Europe in 1999. It seems unlikely that Mancini will have that much time to create a team of European champions.
Conversely, while Rafael Benitez won one European Cup with Liverpool in 2005 and reached the final two years later, only once did his team come close to winning the Premier League. Benitez did not seem to have the ideas to plan a season but he was brilliant at planning for individual matches (as he proved on many occasions against Jose Mourinho's Chelsea), which worked so well in Europe.
Under Roberto di Matteo, Chelsea performed poorly in the Premier League last season but seemed inspired in Europe, where their tactical restraint, tedious as it was to watch, made life awkward for Barcelona in the semi-final and Bayern Munich in the final.
Mancini is more difficult to pin down. City came close to finishing runners-up last season and only won the Premier League title on goal difference. My belief was that they won the championship in spite of Mancini and not because of him. He was better at finding players than he was at finding systems. He proved poor at dealing with the capriciousness of Mario Balotelli and the irrationality of Carlos Tevez. For a squad so rich in talent, City occasionally looked naïve at crucial times, especially last March when the season looked like turning into a nightmare.
Mancini still does not appear to have a preferred system or even a preferred first XI line-up. He was found wanting in Europe when he switched to three defenders away to Ajax when victory was there for the taking. City's 3-1 defeat in Amsterdam owed as much to Mancini's bad management as it did to player error. Micah Richards emerged afterwards to confirm that City had were less than acquainted with the system. They had not practised it properly. "It is something that we have not worked on very much and it is the second time we have conceded after going to a back three," Richards said, dispensing with diplomacy. "We will have to work on it. We are happy just to play, but I think the players prefer a back four. It is what the manager wants."
Throw into the equation bad finishing in most of the matches, bad defending (particularly against Real Madrid in Spain in September), and a general lack of balance, and you have a recipe for failure. City got what they deserved. Only by retaining the Premier League title can they make up for the disappointment and perhaps save Mancini's reputation.
It never felt right for City from the moment they conceded a late goal to Real in Madrid. It's not on," Joe Hart, the City goalkeeper, said, looking furious. "You cannot go 2-1 up and lose the game. We can only blame ourselves. We dug deep, got a lead twice and threw it away. It's hard to come off the field after losing 3-2 and be positive." Mancini emerged quickly to slap down Hart. "Joe Hart should stay in goal and make saves," the manager said. "If anyone should criticise the team it should be me, not Joe Hart. I am the judge, not Joe Hart."
Mancini gets it right sometimes. His key decision – interestingly, going from a back four to a back thre – helped to turn a possible defeat against Tottenham Hotspur into victory last month, but there is an arbitrary element to life at Manchester City, which was always going to make their European campaign difficult.

fit is strange
Okay, so this is literally one of the prettiest colors on earth. It is the same as the peasant blouse they sell, but i really liked the idea of having it in a dress. Unfortunately, the fit is very strange. I almost never have fit issues with any brand especially Rory Beca. But this just doesn't fit right. I went to get it altered and it is better but i feel like the waist hits a weird place that just makes you look bigger. I am 5'4 and 123 lbs and usually get a s or xs. I got a S and maybe i should have gotten the xs. But if you can get it to fit right, the color is out of this world!

+++Season opening offer: Reduced bundle prices for bars and seatposts+++
No matter what combination you choose, we reduce the set price by 20% !
+++Roxycle from now on available at Schmolke Carbon+++
Still unknown on the european market, we want to present you the brand Roxycle with their wheelset "Space Mission". The 38 mm or 50 mm high rims are characterized by a serious degree of manufacturing quality, a high stiffness-to-weight ratio and very good braking properties. Paired with high-end hubs from tune as well as high-class and robust Sapim CX-Ray spokes results in dream weights between 1085-1250g, depending which version you choose. The wheelset is available in four versions. For more details check out our Roxycle page!
+++New seatpost and handlebar for folding bikes+++
Not only racers and lightweight enthusiasts like to have high end carbon parts on their bikes. Also owners of folding bikes aim at decreasing their weight of their bike. Of course this makes sense, when considering that one does not only ride its bike through town but also has to carry it very frequently.
This year we are unfortunately a little less represented at the Eurobike. Still you can visit us at the usual stand (A2-205) and take along our flyers at the THM Carbones desk. Although we present our products only every two years, retailers can always contact us through the personnel of THM Carbones and try to make an appointment on-site. We wish you a great stay at the Eurobike and at the lake!
+++Schmolke Carbon TLO handlebars are the stiffest and lightest worldwide+++
This is the conclusion of an independent test on BIKERUMOR.COM in which absolute stiffness and also stiffness related to weight (STW ratio) have been measured. Our FullOver handlebar takes first place in this important category. For more details click here!
+++Special offer for the new-season opener+++
+++New width for all Flatbars+++
To meet the rising demand on wider bars we have extended the width of all Flatbars around 2-3 cm. Bars with 25,4 clamping reach a width of up to 670 mm, Oversize bars even 700 mm.
|+++Price reduction!!!+++
From now on all our seatposts are reduced in price by 40€ in average. The SL seatpost is now available from 295€, TLO and TLO-Setback from 395€.
+++Top grade for the Schmolke Grenoble+++
|+++Visit us at the Eurobike+++
On the 28th of August the worlds largest bicycle exhibiton opens its doors again. We will also be there together with THM Carbones and A2J Rolo on stand 205 in hall A2. We'd be happy to see you there!

+++ NEW – Schmolke Titan carbon frame 'Grenoble' +++
New in our range is the full carbon frame 'Grenoble' from our partner Schmolke Titan. Most important goal in constructing the frame was to increase its riding comfort for long rides. An even further increase in comfort can be attained by mounting our super flexible seat posts in 27,2 mm in diameter and/or up to 28 mm dimensioned tires. This very stiff frame has of course the Schmolke-like low weight and is available in painted or unpainted edition, saving even some more weight.

In South Africa, Bold Investments Turn Trash into Treasure
South Africa's landfills are reportedly rapidly reaching capacity—as are those in many developing countries. Surveys show that only about 3 percent of urban South Africans sort and recycle their household waste frequently. Until recycling becomes more widespread, the nation will have to keep building landfills.

Summary: CCACHE is an application that caches compilation results and reuses it in future compilations in order to achieve faster compile times.
ARM RebuildARM systems will use new stage3's that are not compatible with earlier versions.
ABI X86 64 and 32Funtoo Linux has new 32-bit compatibility libraries inherited from Gentoo. Learn about them here.
Pre-built kernels!Funtoo stage3's are now starting to offer pre-built kernels for ease of install. read more....
We welcome improvements to this page. To edit this page, Create a Funtoo account. Then log in and then click here to edit this page. See our editing guidelines to becoming a wiki-editing pro.
CCACHE can cause build failures. If it does, please try to compile the application without CCACHE enabled. Bug reports reported with CCACHE enabled will be closed.
Installing CCACHE
To emerge Package:CCache, run the following:
# emerge ccache
Once it finishes emerging, enable it in portage. This is very easy. Just open up
/etc/portage/make.conf with your favorite text editor and add the following:
That's it. If you want to check how much the cache is taking up on your disk and other info, you can run the following command:
# CCACHE_DIR="/var/tmp/ccache" ccache -s
You must pass the
CCACHE_DIR option since ccache normally defaults to the user's home directory, and portage uses
Tweaking CCACHE
Disabling the CACHE limit
If you want to let the cache have the flexibility to grow to whatever size it needs to (unlimited size cache), just do the following:
# CCACHE_DIR="/var/tmp/ccache" ccache -M 0
This will let the cache grow to whatever size it needs to grow to over time.
Using CCACHE to compile your kernel faster
In order to do this you need to change a few variables, you probably only want to change these variables temporarily, but you could change them permanently if you want to. Since we just want to do this temporarily for this example, make a new file called
build.sh and put the following inside of it:
#!/bin/bash export CCACHE_DIR="/var/tmp/ccache" export PATH="/usr/lib/ccache/bin:${PATH}" cd /usr/src/linux time make bzImage modules
Give the file execute permission:
# chmod u+x build.sh
This will temporarily export the variables neccessary, then go into the
/usr/src/linux folder (whatever you declared with 'eselect kernel') and then compile the kernel.

37 year old woman | Maitland, FL, USA | Seeking men 35-47 within 25 miles
Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it
OK, here goes... I'm a MI transplant, I tend to be rather honest, even when it may be best not to be. I can be loud and silly but also quiet and introspective. I'm blessed with great friends and family. I babble when I'm nervous and tend to be somewhat shy until I get to know you. I like to ask questions about everything, I have a very curious nature. :) I'm a big animal lover, furry over slimy. I like to read and will pick Stephen King over any other author. I enjoy seeing the fruits of others labors, be it writing, music, paintings, sculptures, drawings, dances, etc. If you have honed your skill in something I like to see the result. I like to go out (however, clubs are not my thing) but I am just as comfortable spending the night in. I'm looking to find someone who is intelligent, funny, confident, honest and NOT into playing games. If you're looking for a miss right now or a bit of a booty call, I'm probably not the right one for you. Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to read. :) No sub... reader272727 at that oogly thing...

I have Cats
I love all animals and tend to try to pet or feed any I see. I currently have one kitty who I found on the side of the road and convinced to follow me home :)
Middle of the Road
I lived in the north most of my life so anywhere warm is good :) I haven't had the opportunity to travel all that much but I have been to Paris, loved it and want to go back.
Books, TV (Walking Dead, OitNB, Big Bang Theory..), Movies (any really but less of the bang bang shoot em up), being outside (I'm not athletically inclined but I like to enjoy nature), music (techno, heavy metal not so much) and museums of all kinds.
The beach, walks in the park, museums, art festivals, bike rides (the peddle kind), people watching... I'm not big into the adrenaline rush type of activity, no sky diving or roller coasters for me ;)
This is a continuously changing answer. I am almost always in the middle of a couple of books. Fiction is my preference.

Not too harsh, yet cleans my hair well without leaving any residue.
Smell is a little overpowering and smells more orangy than mango.
best shampoo on the market
Great website, loads of choice, and competitive prices.
Good prompt service. Thank you
This is the worse Burt's bees product ever! Does not foam, leaves my hair feeling heavy and flat, greasy the next morning. It smells natural fruity (that's all).

continued The schedule will follow the same rotation as the regular curbside yard waste collection. Residents are asked to not place brush in the road, over a storm sewer or around an underground utility brush. The town is also asking residents to not put the brush out in the streets until after they have been cleaned.
According to Department of Public Works Commissioner Jack Cunningham, the clean-up process is expected to take three weeks to complete. He said the roads themselves did not suffer a significant amount of damage and that all of the flood water drained pretty quickly.
"We have downed trees, downed branches and power outages but compared to other municipalities we fared pretty well," he said, adding that the amount FEMA funding will be given based on the amount of damage that has been assessed. "My guess is that all municipalities will reach that plateau."
The town's sewer plant and its water plant came out of the storm unscathed, Cunningham said. There was some concern with the leachate from the landfill but it was quickly resolved before the storm. The pump system is set up a long the Mohawk and discharges the leachate into the sanitary system. The station flooded, Cunningham said, so they had to shut it down and couldn't pump up to the sewer system.
"So we pumped up all of the leachate out of the system before the storm and once the storm started we took it offline," he said. "We didn't have any spillage or create an environmental hazard. It was managed very well and we prepared very well."
Rayball said the residents of Colonie also did a good job in heeding the warnings from the town by either evacuating or staying off the roads during the storm. He understands there were criticisms of both the media and local governments for overhyping the storm, but he said there was a reason for the requests made by the town.
"People get the attitude these things get overhyped," he said. "Consequently, you saw people surfing in the waves and riding wave runners in the floods. When we ask people to do something, it's for a reason so we can reach people who really are in need and to prevent further blockage so we can get where we need to get… For those people capable of taking care of themselves, look to a neighbor and help them, or someone elderly or infirmed so resources can be used for people truly in need."

Dad Is Fat
Title: Dad Is Fat
Author: Jim Gaffigan
KDL Description:
The popular comedian shares his misadventures as an unlikely father of five, from his formative years in a large Irish-Catholic family, to his middle-of-the-night diaper-changing foibles, to his struggles to lull tyrannical tots to sleep.
Amazon Description:
In Dad is Fat, stand-up comedian Jim Gaffigan, who's best known for his legendary riffs on Hot Pockets, bacon, manatees, and McDonald's, expresses all the joys and horrors of life with five young children—everything from cousins ("celebrities for little kids") to toddlers' communication skills ("they always sound like they have traveled by horseback for hours to deliver important news"), to the eating habits of four year olds ("there is no difference between a four year old eating a taco and throwing a taco on the floor"). Reminiscent of Bill Cosby's Fatherhood, Dad is Fat is sharply observed, explosively funny, and a cry for help from a man who has realized he and his wife are outnumbered in their own home.

First published in the United Kingdom in 2001, THE RIVER COTTAGE COOKBOOK quickly became a hit among food cognoscenti around the world. Now tailored for American cooks, this authoritative and animated ode to eating well is one part manifesto and one part guidebook for choosing and storing food grown in the garden, butchered from prize animals, or foraged or caught locally. Fearnley-Whittingstall writes with humor, wit, and clarity, bringing American readers what his legions of British fans have enthusiastically embraced: the best techniques and recipes for getting the most out of simple, superior food, while supporting the environment, vibrant local economies, and resourceful use of plants and animals.

2015 Invitational!!!!!!!!!
Posted by Tiffany Bragunier on Monday, January 19th at 9:44am
On April 11, 2015, The Penn State UGC will be hosting the 6th annual PSU Humans vs. Zombies Invitational. For those that have been at an Invitational before, we hope you'll come out and have another great day of blasting, tagging, and camaraderie. For those new to an Invitational, think of a 10-12 hour-long day of HvZ, add 200 of your soon-to-be friends, and get ready for a great day!
We'll have updates on website, housing, and other specifics soon, but we wanted to make sure you all had a chance to make initial travel plans, get time off work if needed, and so on.
Expect to have, like in previous years, an orientation either the night before or the morning of the invitational. Feel free to post any questions to the event page.
You may also email the game leads with any concerns or questions you may have about the game:
Tiffany Bragunier (email@example.com)
Drew Lopreiato (email@example.com).
Even if you've been to a PSU invitational in the past, we can guarantee that you have no clue what you're in for this year - all we'll say for now is that you're in for an awesome day of HvZ.
Hope to see you all there!

Contracts for public employees aren't public in South Dakota.
It's an issue that came up last fall when the Sioux Falls School District wouldn't release the contract of Superintendent Pam Homan.
Now, the state legislature is considering a bill that would open up those records.
Several requests to see a copy of Superintendent Homan's contract were denied by the district because state law only required the release of her salary.
"That was our interpretation of the law and we said at the time that if the law is changed, we will be in compliance," Sioux Falls School Board President Kent Alberty said.
Even though the requests were denied, Alberty supports a law that would open up the contracts of public employees.
"Open records are very important to me. I think that open government, transparency in government, is extremely important," Alberty said.
Senator Al Novstrup of Aberdeen is the prime sponsor of legislation to make public employees' contracts public. He says the bill closes a gap in the open records laws passed by the legislature over the past few years.
"I think most legislators, as we've passed open records laws over the past couple of years, were under the assumption that a government employee contract would be open, and it came to us as a surprise when some people interpreted it as private and confidential information," Novstrup said.
Alberty says he supports the change in the law, and if the law is changed, the school district will abide by the law.
"I'm not surprised by it. I expected that that would come out of the session. We had said at the time that we thought clarifying would be good. As soon as it is signed, if it is signed, we will be in compliance," Alberty said.
In compliance with a law that will make sure taxpayers know the details of public employee contracts.
The Senate Education Committee will be the first to address the bill.
