Okay, so a few months ago I was in a hurry and bought a couple of nice dress shirts from Marshall Fields (now known as Macy's in Chicago). Anyway, after I got home, I tried them on and realized that one of them had French Cuffs. (Still not sure how that happened). I was too lazy to bring it back and now so much time has past, that I no longer have the receipt. This shirt was like $100, so I hate to have it just collecting dust in my closet.
My question is, do any of you wear shirts with French Cuffs? Can you only wear them with a suit, or can you wear them with a nice tie and sports jacket? It's a really nice shirt and I do have some nice cufflinks from my dad, but I've just never worn this type of thing before.
Can any of you "metro's" help me out

So far bebeJosito has celebrated Halloween as Brak, a monkey, a train engineer, and the Amazing Spider-Man. This year, he flip flopped on what he wanted to be until we browsed the costume section at Target.

bebeJosito Celebrates the Big 0-4 with an Atlantean Birthday Party
When my son takes interest in a topic he holds on tight until he squeezes every last bit of knowledge out of it. In his younger years he was all about trains then fire trucks then outer space. Of late he's been fascinated by ships above and beneath the water.
The catalyst for his latest favorite topic was Disney's 2001 film, Atlantis: The Lost Empire. Thanks to the wizardry of Netflix bebeJosito has seen the move a bazillion times. Yes, yes. There's that whole "Kids shouldn't watch so much TV" thing.
But bebeJosito doesn't just watch the movie. He studies it. He learns everything he can about the characters, the ships, and the storyline. Often at times he would lean over and pause the movie to ask about submarines, the Leviathan, ships, and Atlantis. These questions would lead to discussions and mini-research projects that would last an afternoon or an entire week.
So when it came to choosing a theme and gifts for his birthday party it was an easy decision. He wanted everything and anything that had to do with Atlantis: The Lost Empire.
Maggie, 2001-2013
10 years ago I adopted Maggie from a local shelter. Since then she has provided me with countless memories. She's been a great companion to my family and a great friend to all who met her. I'll miss you Mags.
bebeJosito's Fourth Halloween
For his first Halloween bebeJosito went as Brak, number two required wearing a fluffy monkey costume, and last year he went as an engineer. This year, I was pretty certain my wife and I were going to be minions and bebeJosito would be wreaking havoc on the world as Gru. All that changed when we walked into a costume shop.

Borro founder and CEO Paul Aitken. Borro
Borro, a U.K.-based online personal asset lender that's playing a role in the new business funding movement, today announced it raised $26 million in a new funding round led by Canaan Partners.
The company, based in London with an office in New York and plans to expand in other key U.S. markets, offers short-term loans ranging from $1,000 to $1 million for business and personal uses. It's not unfair to equate borro (yes, the "b" is lower case) to a high-end pawn shop.
"We're providing our customers with fast liquidity, and the liquidity comes in the form of a secured loan," borro chief executive Paul Aitken said during a recent visit with Upstart Business Journal. "The security we take is typically fine art, antiques, jewelry, watches, cars. So they're high-value assets, but not property assets."
Aitken said borro does the deals that are too small for private banks, and the ones that are too big or too complex for retail pawn brokers. "We don't compete at all with mainstream pawn shops," he said.
Aitken, an affable Briton who had no background in finance before borro but was a successful entrepreneur who sold a business to Bertelsmann Media in 2004, is upfront with the idea his company is part of a sector with a "gray reputation." But he notes other successful companies have turned gray into gold: StubHub turned ticket scalping into a legit ticket sales alternative, and eBay made the flea market (or, in British terms, the "car boot sale") a full-time sales vehicle.
What Aitken is doing with borro, a company founded in 2008 as both the United Kingdom and the United States were in the depths of recession, is joining a new group of companies that are offering lending options for small business." "There's clearly a lot of innovation in the alternative lending space and I just like the notion of creating a new category in lending and being mildly disruptive," he said.

Cameron Vexed by Bailout's $5 Billion Interest Costs
Sept. 20 (Bloomberg) -- The U.K. pledged more money rescuing banks during the credit crunch than on any project in British history outside of world wars. And the cost keeps rising as the government looks for ways to get its money back.
While U.S., French and Swiss banks repaid bailouts, the U.K. hasn't received any return on its 66 billion pound ($103.2 billion) rescue of Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc and Lloyds Banking Group Plc. The annual interest payment on the debt incurred acquiring controlling stakes in the banks is about 3.2 billion pounds, according to a JPMorgan Chase & Co. estimate.
That's about what British taxpayers spent on military operations in Afghanistan last year and exceeds the forecast of 2 billion pounds from a proposed levy on banks. While the government would like to sell the bank stakes, it can't because the shares are fluctuating below the level the state paid for them. In addition, a government commission isn't scheduled to decide for another year whether to split the retail and investment-banking businesses of Britain's largest lenders.
"They should have lent money to these banks, not bought shares in them," said Conservative lawmaker John Redwood, 59, who advised former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher on privatizations in the 1980s. "If the government succeeds in getting all the taxpayers' money back with proper reward, then that's a good achievement. But it's not guaranteed."
Selling Stakes
Analysts and investors are divided over how long it will take the government to sell its stakes, with estimates in a Bloomberg survey of five analysts ranging from three to eight years. Stephen Hester, 49, chief executive officer of Edinburgh-based RBS, said last month that he's ready for the government to start selling its holdings immediately, as the bank posted a half-year profit for the first time since 2007.
That's not likely to happen, at least not until the commission reports its conclusions, because the findings may affect the value of the banks, according to government officials who declined to be identified because the talks are private. The commission, chaired by John Vickers, a former chief economist of the Bank of England, starts collecting evidence on Sept. 24.
"The government investigation into separating the banks rules out any sale in the short term," said Jeremy Scott, the global financial services chairman at PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, who wrote a report saying it may take up to seven years to sell the stakes. "The markets are not favorable at the moment, even if you wanted a sale."
Gold Reserves
Prime Minister David Cameron could use the money from a share sale. His Conservative-led coalition is under pressure to tackle a deficit that hit a postwar high of 11 percent of gross domestic product in the year through March. The government unveiled an emergency budget on June 22 with plans to cut spending by a quarter on average in all departments except health and international aid. The Treasury's fiscal monitor forecasts 490,000 public-sector jobs will be lost by April 2015.
The timing of the share sales may prove as controversial as former Prime Minister Gordon Brown's decision to dispose of all of Britain's gold reserves a decade ago. Brown sold 400 tons of gold, a stack almost as big as two London taxis, in a two-and-a-half year period ending in March 2002.
Gold prices have risen about 270 percent since then, leading to criticism that Brown's decision to sell the reserves at a 20-year low cost the country about 7 billion pounds. Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne said this year that it was "one of the worst economic judgments ever made by a chancellor."
850 Billion Pounds
"The timing is going to be a difficult decision," said Paul Mumford, who helps manage about $1 billion at Cavendish Asset Management Ltd. in London, which owns RBS and Lloyds shares. "Undoubtedly people may draw a comparison with Gordon Brown selling the gold if the government sells the bank shares and the price shoots up."
The government invested, loaned and pledged more than 850 billion pounds rescuing stricken banks during the financial crisis that started in 2007, the National Audit Office, the U.K. public-spending watchdog, said in a December report describing the outlay as unprecedented. It's equivalent to each U.K. household having about 3,000 pounds of stock in RBS and Lloyds.
Next month marks the second anniversary of the Oct. 7, 2008, bailout amid concern by then-Chancellor of the Exchequer Alistair Darling that RBS, the nation's second-largest bank, and Britain's biggest mortgage lender HBOS Plc didn't have enough money to open their doors the next day.
Defeating Hitler
The government took an 83 percent stake in RBS and bought 41 percent of Lloyds, which acquired HBOS. It also took over all of Northern Rock Plc and parts of Bradford & Bingley Plc after bailing out the banks, and agreed to insure 280 billion pounds of RBS's riskiest assets for an annual fee. The U.K. provided a further 450 billion pounds in guarantees to increase liquidity.
The annual interest cost on the 66 billion pounds of bonds the government had to sell to finance the rescue of RBS and Lloyds isn't included in official estimates of the outlay for the bailout, meaning the actual bill may be as much as 19.7 billion pounds more, or 30 percent higher, JPMorgan's analysis shows. That assumes the government can't sell its stakes until 2014, six years after it used taxpayer money to save the banks.
Aside from World War I and World War II, the bank rescue was the costliest undertaking in British history. The U.K. spent 300 billion pounds defeating Adolf Hitler's Germany in World War II, according to the Penguin Atlas of World History, about 3.5 trillion pounds on an inflation-adjusted basis today.
'Devise and Execute'
U.K. Financial Investments Ltd., which manages the government's bank holdings, declined to comment on the cost of the bailout or when share sales might begin. The Treasury, which declined to comment on interest costs, said in a statement that the UKFI will "devise and execute a strategy for disposing of the government's investments in an orderly and active way."
In a budget submitted to Parliament in March, the Treasury scaled back its estimate for the eventual cost of bailing out the U.K. financial industry to 6 billion pounds. It lowered its estimate from 50 billion pounds because of a recovery in financial markets and after Lloyds raised capital rather than paying the government to insure toxic assets.
The U.K. currently has a 3.35 billion pound paper profit on its stake in London-based Lloyds, after the shares gained 49 percent this year, and a 1.87 billion pound loss on RBS, even after its shares rose 64 percent. RBS and Lloyds are among the best-performing bank stocks in Europe and the U.S. this year after returning to profit earlier than analysts expected.
Breakeven Price
The calculations are based on the average price the government paid for shares in the banks after injecting capital in 2008 and 2009. The so-called breakeven price is 49.9 pence for RBS and 63.2 pence for Lloyds, according to UKFI. When working out the price, UKFI subtracted fees paid by the banks for setting up the bailout and 2.5 billion pounds paid by Lloyds for exiting the government's insurance program.
RBS closed at 49.02 pence today in London trading and Lloyds at 77.41 pence. Since the start of the financial crisis in August 2007, RBS has plunged 90 percent, making it the second-worst performing bank stock in Europe after Bank of Ireland Plc. Lloyds has fallen 73 percent. The bank's CEO, Eric Daniels, said today he will step down in the next 12 months, and the lender said it will form a committee to find his successor.
RBS, which on average lost 36 million pounds a day in 2008 and 2009, posted net income of 9 million pounds in the first half of the year. Lloyds, still reliant on 132 billion pounds of government and central bank funding, reported half-year net income of 596 million pounds, its first profit since the rescue.
'Popular Capitalism'
Hester says RBS's biggest problem is retaining staff at its investment bank, where restraints on pay, including deferrals and clawbacks imposed after the bailout, are driving some employees away. About 1,000 investment bank employees left last year over bonuses, which cost the lender 1 billion pounds in lost profit, Hester said in February.
As part of the terms of the bailout, RBS and Lloyds halted dividend payments in 2008, and the lenders won't resume paying them until at least 2012, which has suppressed the share prices.
UKFI will recommend that the Treasury start selling its bank stakes when the lenders are free of state funding and when a sale offers the best return for taxpayers, according to government officials. UKFI only has a mandate to recommend selling to achieve value, which depends on market conditions, not to ensure stakes are sold at a profit, the officials said.
The government said in June that it plans a discount sale of bank shares to the public to foster what Cameron termed "popular capitalism." It is also considering selling shares to institutional investors and using convertible bonds to dispose of the stakes, UKFI said in its annual report last year.
'Reaping Bigger Profits'
"The government has a fighting chance of making some sort of profit on the holdings, and it will be politically damaging not to do so," said Richard Hunter, head of U.K. equities at Hargreaves Lansdown Plc, a London-based asset manager and retail stockbroker. "The biggest problem is the technical aspect of finding a way to sell the two massive holdings in RBS and Lloyds."
Disposing of so many shares runs the risk of depressing the stocks' prices, he said.
While the U.K.'s decision to take direct stakes in banks may force it to hold them longer than it would like, the government stands to benefit from rising share prices, according to Charles Davis, an economist at the Centre for Economics and Business Research in London.
France, U.S.
"Holding the banks for longer gives the government a better chance of reaping bigger profits," said Davis, whose firm estimates that British taxpayers stand to make about 19 billion pounds from the rescue. "Banks are getting their balance sheets in order and should become increasingly profitable over the next few years."
If Davis's forecast is correct, the U.K. government may make more money from rescuing its banks than Switzerland, France or the U.S.
Switzerland made a profit of about 1.2 billion francs ($1.18 billion) from bailing out UBS AG after spending 6 billion francs buying mandatory convertible notes in 2008. The French government made about 2 billion euros ($2.62 billion) from its rescue of banks, including BNP Paribas and Societe Generale SA, after injecting emergency capital the same year. The U.S. government has received about $16 billion in dividends and interest payments on its investment in banks, insurance companies and automakers through the Troubled Asset Relief Program, according to the Treasury.
Sweden's Lesson
Britain's bank rescue also exposes taxpayers to more risk, Davis said. And the cost of financing the bailout continues to climb -- already more than 6 billion pounds, according to JPMorgan's estimate.
The lesson from Sweden, which nationalized two big banks in the 1990s, is that it will take longer than expected to sell the stakes, said Bo Lundgren, Sweden's minister for fiscal and financial affairs in the 1990s. The government still owns 19.9 percent of Nordea AB almost two decades after taking over its predecessor, Nordbanken, which went on to merge with Gotabank, which also had been nationalized.
"What you need to do is try to privatize them as soon as possible, though not when the markets are bad," Lundgren said. "Governments are not very good owners in the long run."

I loved this smoothie! The papaya gives a nice texture. Since I used frozen banana and strawberries, I omitted the ice. I also omitted the sugar and I don't recommend adding any.
i thought it was very good but i suggest you use the mexican carribian red papayas instead of the dinky hawwiian ones.
Excellent recipe, easy to prepare. All I did was add a bit of Splenda to make it sweeter.

Instrument Mentor Monthly Summary Report for SEBS: 02/2014
1. Data Review:
The measurements from the SEBS stations are contained in a 30 minute datastreams. The data is being ingested and is available from the ARM Archive. The 30 minute datastream contains half hour averages of most of the sensor measurements in engineering units, plus the energy balance components.
Data Quality Reports are not written for missing data or for situations when qc flags clearly show that the data is incorrect (this is true for most of the conditions listed below). DQRs are written for periods when data is incorrect, when the situation is not represented by qc flags in the data, and it's not obvious that the data should have been flagged as incorrect.
Please see Section 6.3 Data Assessments by Site Scientist/Data Quality Office in the SEBS Handbook (at www.arm.gov/instruments/instrument.php?id=sebs), under Common Conditions Reflecting Correct or Incorrect Data.
Common conditions that result in incorrect or missing data are:
a) The calculated surface energy balance, net radiation, and albedo may be incorrect when one of the measurements used in the calculation is incorrect. This most frequently happens when the upwelling or downwelling short wave radiation measurement(s) are very small negative at night.
b) Radiation measurements may be incorrect if the radiometer domes are affected by dew, frost, snow, ice, or rain drops, although this is expected to be minimized by the blower and heater incorporated into the instrument.
c) High wind speeds may cool the radiometer domes to the extent that the sensor body temperature may not accurately adjust for dome temperature.
d) Missing data periods occur at times; this may be caused by a site data system collection or communication problem. By the time you read this report, the data may have been filled in from manual or automatic re-collection of the data.

Moving forward on FrankenStein,
pronounced: Fronk-in-Steene
for legal purposes. Hey you don't want to piss off the Germans, or the Austrians, or whomever made the movie. TrackMaster Triple Clamps made and hopefully a complete front end by next week.
So, here where I am so far; My 2000 Honda XR 650R bought new in 2000, with the following parts carefully disected from donor bikes found in graveyards. 1999 CB 600 F-2 wheels mated to 1985 cush hub, machined to fit. 2004 CB F-4 forks and Calipers, 2006 CB F-4 rear shock in place of stock. Sub Frame is currently from a 2006 Honda CR450X,
I need a place to store the battery,
Seat isn't designed yet. Tank will remain stock but radiator shrouds will be cut to allow for modified exhaust running under frame and mated to "Yosh" Tri-Oval. Radiators will need to be shortened and made thicker to get the same cooling capicity. Next on the list is a Euro-650R electric starter assembly-frickin' expensive but will be worth the money in the end. Anybody have an extra Euro case set for sale- I'm in need. FrankeStein would be so much better with electrics. Stator has been done by Ricky-Stator so juice shouldn't be a problem. More pics as I get closer.

Hellertown police on Wednesday stopped a motorist for traffic violations on Main Street and ended up arresting a passenger in the car as a fugitive.

It could be that moden nvidia cards use shaders for subpixel-aa rendering so this description only applies to cards which do the subpixel-stuff in software like (i am quite sure) my NV18.
Subpixel-AA is always software-rendered if hardware does not provide features for accaleration (like my (fast) NV18 card). Wether you use VESA or the nvidia driver doesn't matter at all, rendering is done by the CPU.
The big difference is that with VESA everything is rendered into an surface (image) held in system-ram compared to the memory on your graphic card when using the accalerated nvidia driver.
If you now want to perform subpixel-aa you need to get the values of the desitantion surface (since the result is a composition of the glyph + destination surface + some logic for subpixel). This operation is quite fast for vesa because all the pixels are stored in RAM anyway where they can be accassed in a fast way by your CPU.
When using the nvidia driver the pixel-values have to be transferred from the board-memory to system-ram, then the composition takes place and afterwards the result needs to be uploaded to your video-card again.
The downside of the vesa driver is that it will perform quite poor comparing things your graphic-card can do in HW (like filling rects or blits).
Its the same problem all the time if you have graphic-hw solutions that have to do some things they can't do in hardware. You need the read-back the affected pixels into RAM and later send the result back to VRAM which is quite often much slower than the actual rendering done in software.

The 'wild' side of Tim Tebow's life
Now that he's modeling underwear, what's next for the Broncos' choir-boy QB?
Originally Published: March 31, 2011By Johnette Howard | ESPN.com
Tim Tebow sells a lot of NFL jerseys. But only the most genius prognosticators could have foreseen the day when America would be able to pair the words "Tim Tebow" and "underwear model" in the same sentence. And yet here we are. The world is wobbling on its axis. Church ladies are fanning themselves.
I'm guessing more people had VCU and Butler in their Final Four brackets this weekend than ever dreamed Tebow would someday become only the second pro athlete to endorse Jockey underwear, ...

I really like the idea of not having to bring a full camping kit to Scotland and just working out of one or two bases. Sounds brillant.

Glad to hear you're safe. I've been to NYC and loved it and the people. Sad to hear so many are having such a tough time there. I'm also guilty of thinking New York = Manhattan. So apologies for my ignorance there!
Summer is long gone by August, man! The nice days are in May these days. After that it's just storms.
And funnily enough, the most consistent month for nice, sunny days this year so far has been October!

UPDATE!: Brand new to Louisville! I'll need advice as to what to do! Well, lets see... Played the scene for plenty of time here in Indianapolis and got really tired of the bar scene so I decided to try something new. I'm a professional chef by trade so my work schedule is hectic at best, but I still find time to cook at home regularly and I covet my free time dearly. At some point I'd like to settle down so I'm looking for something to develop on a long term level. I love to be put into situations where I have no idea what is going on, i.e. camping, hiking, building the Roman aqueduct. I'd love to meet someone who is sort of on the same page with a great sense of humor. I'm a sucker for crosswords, Netflix binges, and anything a little outside of the box. I used to travel a lot, but its been awhile so I dig on getting out to try anything new. Talk to you soon!

Michael O'Shea is a member of Ireland's police force, known as The Guards. He's also a sociopath who walks a knife edge between sanity and all-out mayhem. When an exchange program is initiated and twenty Guards come to America and twenty cops from the States go to Ireland, Shay, as he's known, has his lifelong dream come true--he becomes a member of the NYPD. But Shay's dream is about to become New York's nightmare.
Paired with an unstable cop nicknamed Kebar for his liberal use of a short, lethal metal stick called a K-bar, the two unlikely partners become a devastatingly effective force in the war against crime.
But Kebar harbors a dangerous secret: he's sold out to the mob to help his sister. Her rape and beating leaves her in a coma and pushes an already unstable Kebar over the edge just as Shea's dark secrets threaten boil over and into the streets of New York.
"Once Were Cops" melds the street poetry of Brooklyn and Dublin into a fast-paced, incomparable hard-boiled novel. This is Ken Bruen at his best.
KEN BRUEN has been a finalist for the Edgar and Anthony Awards, and has won a Macavity Award, a Barry Award, and two Shamus Awards for the Jack Taylor series. He has been an English teacher in Africa, Japan, Southeast Asia, and South America. He lives in Galway, Ireland.

Minnesota Football: Ben Utecht Writes Memory Loss Song for Daughters (VIDEO)
Former Minnesota tight end Ben Utecht retired from the NFL in 2009 following his fifth concussion. Since then, he has begun a second career as a professional signer and started to experience memory loss - both of which inspired him to write a song for his three daughters, called "You Will Always Be My Girls."
"It was a chance for me to tell my girls that no matter what happens to me and my brain, they're always going to be there," Utecht told the Star Tribune.
Just 33 years old, Utecht has been highly active as an advocate for awareness about traumatic brain injury. Last week he shared part of his story with the Senate Committee on Aging in Washington, D.C.
"To really think about a time where I may wake up someday and not recognize the person that I've been lying next to for the last 30 years, yeah, that's scary," he told the Star Tribune. "I think every person would fear something like that. … If this becomes my mission, I'm prepared."

I feel very strongly about the subject of this recent Deseret News article, written by a friend of ours.
I even had a rather similar experience while I was serving in the mission home on Pilatusstraße in Zürich, decades ago. We taught a very long-haired young man and his then-live-in girlfriend who had suddenly shown up at the mission home front door. They seemed extremely unlikely prospects, and some members and leaders were very uncomfortable around them. But they eventually moved apart and were baptized. He served a mission in England (missionary standards were a bit looser then), and, when last I saw him, was a counselor in a branch presidency.
I have another rather similar story that I'll tell someday, when I can be sure that I've figured out how not to give away the person's identity.
But I also know stories, sadly, that go the other way. I know a man, slightly younger than I am, who grew up in a wonderful Mormon family, to parents who were active and committed Latter-day Saints. But he went through a phase in which he wanted to grow his hair long. (This was back in the late sixties and early seventies, probably.) Unfortunately, he had some (to my mind unduly) strict and rigid leaders, and they prohibited him from participation in the blessing and passing of the sacrament.
He felt ostracized and unwanted, left the Church, got involved to a degree in drugs, and basically forgot that he was a Mormon. Today, he's quite successful and a good guy. But he's married out of the Church and is raising his kids out of the Church. It breaks his parents' hearts. And it wasn't at all necessary.
There are times when certain people need to be run out of the Church. Sexual predators, for example, need to be clearly marked and separated out. But the overwhelming message of the Church is "Come unto Christ!" Whoever or wherever you may be.

Although you may want to sell your product or service to the largest possible market, it isn't always the quickest path to growth and profitability. You will find difficulty marketing to a large number of potential customers. It takes greater resources of time, money, and people to sell to a larger audience than a smaller one. Many entrepreneurs have found it more cost-effective to focus on specialized or niche markets. Consider the following advantages and disadvantages:
If a travel agent wanted to focus on a niche market, she could focus on adventure travel for professionals, including cruises, safaris, and exotic destinations. Although this niche market is smaller and more specialized, her customers will generally go on two- or three-week vacations and spend more for customized arrangements.

Customer Reviews of Norelco 1150 SensoTouch 2D Cordless Men's Shaver
Just had to write in about this shaver. I am usually a "disposable razor kind of guy" but since my wife bought this for me I have to admit I'm hooked. Always been a fan of the brand so I wasn't that hesitant on trying it out and Im very glad I did. Throw away those expensive disposable shavers for good guys. Highly recommend!!
Very easy to use and comfortful on the skin11/17/2011
No tugs and pulls when using the shave. Highly recommended ~
Longtime Norelco user10/4/2011
I have used Norelco shavers for well over 20 years and I have always been happy with the results! The foil on this shaver shaves closer to the skin and it doesn't pull like older shavers. First use and I had very little burning or irritation! This shaver is lightweight, the trimmer and shaving foil are interchangeable. Be careful not to yank too hard on the shaving head or drop the shaver as the head will un-snap from the shaver. There is no pouch included with this shaver and the charging stand is very light and simple. The suction cups on the feet of the charging stand was a nice touch! This shaver will work wet, just be carefull not to lose parts when washing out. I've never had to be cautious using a Norelco shaver, but this shaver seems a little delicate.

Just read this entire thread, for the most part it's a very poor description of the game I saw in person.
The Reds should have won this one, Dusty gave away too many outs with sac bunts. (Phillips wasn't bunting for a hit)
Brandon should have scored on the ball Rolen hit off the wall, giving Rolen a double leaving runners at 2nd and 3rd. The sac fly by Bruce then plates the winning run. Joey Votto should not have cut off the throw to the plate.
That's baseball. Going again Sunday, hope we can take the next two.
As that game progressed, and seeing how our team was playing, it had death written all over it.
I don't think Baker bunted people over enough to get them into scoring position.
"panic" only comes from having real expectations
He let bruce swing away and look where that got him....instead of bunting.
The AB's by Gomes and Bruce were terrible during that one inning with the bases loaded..... Gomes takes one pitch and then swings and tries to pull a ball that was outside...too outside to think you can pull but he is that type of hitter sometimes. Bruce as well.....swung at a tailing fastball trying to do the same thing. That was the game. Brandon had to hold up just to make sure IF the LF catches the ball he tags up...it looked like he could have caught it and that is why BP was caught in no man's land.
Just briefly reading the post-mortems here, no question this is a game we should have won. It's certainly a disappointing loss.
This morning's paper has Votto saying he went on his instinct and cut it off. I think he understands this was the place where maybe that instinct got in the way. I also agree that Phillips probably could have scored on Rolen's hit, but as someone noted, he was stuck in no man's land just in case it was caught.
I appreciate in this morning's paper, Arroyo manning up and acknowledging that he shouldn't have let the game get away.
Again, this is a game we shouldn't have lost. Let's get the next two.

Russia offers no clarity on US adoptions freeze
Under the U.S. Child Citizenship Act of 2000, any foreign child adopted by U.S. citizens automatically becomes a citizen once adopted.
Astakhov said several Russian families have already offered to adopt Artyom.
"As soon as he gets well, we'll get him out of the hospital and into a foster family," he told reporters.
The boy's case caused public outrage and bolstered opponents of foreign adoptions, who in past years have pointed to a few highly publicized cases of abuse and killings of Russian children adopted by U.S. families.
But while international adoptions have been vilified in the Russian press, Russian adoption agencies stress the role they have played in encouraging Russians to consider adoption.
"Thanks to Americans as well as Italians and Spaniards, Russians have increasingly become more interested in adopting," said Lyudmila Kochergina, director of the Moscow office of adoption agency Children's Hope International.
A new adoption agreement might provide additional guarantees of Russian children's safety overseas, she said, but adoptions already are heavily regulated and each case is decided by a Russian court, she said.
But what is lacking in some cases is an understanding by the adoptive parents that they will have to work hard to build a relationship with their children, Kochergina said.
"Parents need to be fully aware of the fact that adoption and parenting means a lot of work, and that attachment takes a long time," she said. "All kids from orphanages are difficult to handle. It cannot be any other way because these kids were once betrayed by adults."
More than 1,800 Russian children were adopted in the United States last year, according to the Russian Education Ministry.
Associated Press writer Desmond Butler contributed to this report from Washington.

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
This course reveals how designers can create vibrant web graphics, wireframes, and complete web site mockups with the strong layout and color management tools in Adobe Illustrator. Author and Adobe Certified Expert Justin Seeley covers topics such as building responsive layouts with artboards, producing custom color palettes and swatches for web graphics, and making vector shapes and text that seamlessly scale. The course also explores adding drop shadows and other live effects, setting up interface elements such as forms and tabbed interfaces, optimizing and exporting different types of graphics, and speeding up your workflow with reusable image sprites and Smart Objects.
Many times you'll start a project in one application, like Illustrator or Photoshop, but then finish it off in another application. And so in order to do that and maintain a consistent look and feel for your project, you'll need to be able to share color swatches that you create inside of one application to the other. Now if you go back and watch the color chapter in this course, I explain exactly what a .ase file is-- it stands for Adobe Swatch Exchange--and I also go through how to create your own custom color palette. But in this case I'm just going to load up an Adobe Swatch Exchange file and then show you how that's interchangeable between both Photoshop and Illustrator.
So inside of Illustrator, if I want to load this up, I'll find the Swatches panel, I'll just click the little Library icon, and I'll go down to Other Library, and I'll navigate out to my Desktop/exercise files/Chapter 12/robot_ colors.ase, open that up, and there are my robot colors for this web site mockup that I created here. And you could have just created custom swatches from these as well. Once you have a .ase file saved out of Adobe Illustrator though, you can jump into another program, like Photoshop. And then I'll just create a new blank document; it doesn't matter what the size is. And I'll bring out up my Swatches panel here so you can see it.
And then I'll go right here, I'll choose Load Swatches, find robot_colors.ase, open it up, and those colors load in right there. I actually had them loaded in previously. You can see them right there as well. So if I cut these out real quick, you can see just the ones that I just loaded in right there. And so easily exchanging these swatches between applications ensures that I'm using a consistent color palette for any design that I do, no matter if it's in Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, or even Adobe Fireworks.
I can create all this artwork with the same colors, maintain a consistent look and feel throughout, and make sure that when I export this out and send it to the client, everything looks good. It maintains the same quality that they're used to from one application to another. So, take the time to set up your own color swatches. And again if you need to, go back and watch that chapter of this course and then save them out as .ase files, and you can easily exchange them from app to app.

Don't talk to Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott about how bad things are supposed to be in the music business.
The Portsmouth, Va., native's debut album, "Supa Dupa Fly," burst onto the nation's pop chart at No. 3 during its first week in the stores, selling an estimated 130,000 units.
U2, Paul McCartney, Aerosmith and Jon Bon Jovi combined. The fact that a virtually unknown young black artist can outsell a bevy of aging stars underscores the strength of hip-hop music as a commercial force in the mainstream market.
While analysts and record executives whine about how tough the music business is this year, particularly in the rock market, fans of black music are turning out in droves to snap up the latest rap, rhythm and blues, gospel and hip-hop music released. Black music appeals to consumers of all colors and generates billions of dollars in annual revenue around the globe.
Indeed, more than one-third of the best-selling albums on this week's pop chart were written and recorded by black artists. So far this year, sales of R&B albums are up nearly 13% over last year--more than twice the increase of all album sales, according to SoundScan.
Even this year's best-selling pop acts--Hanson, Prodigy and the Spice Girls--imitate or draw heavily from rap and R&B.
As a result, record executives who predicted that rap music was a fad and closed their urban divisions a few years ago are scrambling to find a way to get back into the urban business.
"There is a reason why my album is blowing up," said Elliott, who writes, raps, sings and produces her own music as well as runs her own Elektra Entertainment-affiliated label, named Gold Mind Inc. "I'm not living in the past. I'm futuristic."
Elliott joins a legion of young black entrepreneurs whose companies have dominated the charts in recent years, including Bad Boy's Sean "Puffy" Combs, Def Jam's Russell Simmons, Death Row's Marion "Suge" Knight and LaFace's Kenny "BabyFace" Edmonds and Antonio "L.A." Reid.
Talented black entrepreneurs have found success by cutting joint venture label deals with such major companies as Arista, Interscope, Universal, PolyGram and Sony--which provide financing, manufacturing and distribution in exchange for a share of the profits.
Other black businessmen who have crafted similar corporate-financed agreements include Andre "Dr. Dre" Young, Jermaine Dupri, Teddy Riley, R. Kelly, Kirk Franklin and Lance "Un" Rivera.
Under these joint ventures, entrepreneurs not only wield more creative control over their music, but also make a great deal more money than if they worked directly for the corporation.
Although the parent companies may give up $2 or more per record under a joint venture, they can profit handsomely.
The corporations reap manufacturing and distribution fees from each record pressed, gain respect on Wall Street for the market share these labels provide and add credibility on the street with hip-hop fans.
Indeed, Arista and Interscope have emerged as two of the most successful companies in the business in recent years, thanks in large part to a string of rap and R&B hits delivered by black entrepreneurs with whom they cut joint ventures.
"The marketplace is just brimming with hip-hop talent," said Elektra Entertainment Chairwoman Sylvia Rhone, who signed Elliott to a label deal after fierce bidding with several competitors. "There are so many fantastic black artists and producers sprouting up everywhere. The fact is that hip-hop music is really driving the economy of the record business these days. It's the force drawing consumers into record stores."
Black entrepreneurs chuckle about the white executives who predicted 10 years ago that rap was a fad doomed to die a quick death. Despite criticism from politicians and parent watchdogs, rap has thrived, with hip-hop artists providing the industry with some of its top moneymakers in recent years.
Collections by such rap stars as Notorious BIG, Wu-Tang Clan, Scarface, Tupac Shakur and Wyclef Jean have dominated the pop charts this spring and summer.
