Rays turn up spin cycle - 0 Comments
No offense, but Sox got to starters
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Joe Maddon was trying to be nice.
The Tampa Bay Rays manager had to be, or he was trying to protect some pitchers' feelings.
"More than anything, just thinking about it (Saturday) night and this morning, if we could play better offensively it would help a whole lot," Maddon said at yesterday's workout at Tropicana Field.

fridge in room
Taxes were outrageous, no discount for multiple night stay, pool was tiny
The plugs in the wall were loose, the water temperature wouldn't stay hot enough.
New mattresses, large flat screen TV. Great location. Fabulous deal for the price.
Price, quiet and location
sink faucet leaked around the handle. Toilet ran every ten minutes and the alarm clock in the room made the electrical outlet buzz......I promptly unplugged it
Good value for the money. It was nice to have a breakfast included. The service was friendly and the room was clean and the beds comfortable.

Consider a Split HVAC System
A split HVAC system or ductless heat pump may be the best way to heat and cool your new space
Whether you're adding a family room, enlarging the kitchen or creating a brand new master suite, you're going to need to provide heat (and probably air conditioning) for the new space. That can be as simple as adding some ductwork (for forced air systems) or hot water piping (for houses with radiators) to the existing network.
But there's another option that's often far better. Known as a split system or ductless heat pump, it consists of two main parts: A blower unit that gets installed in an exterior wall and a condenser unit that sits on the ground outside, much like a standard central air conditioner has. But a heat pump can do much more than a standard system. For one thing, it not only cools in the summer but it also provides heat in the winter. Here are some reasons why you might want to go with this option:
If your existing systems can't handle the new space and you're not prepared to replace everything now.
If the old and new spaces have very different heating and cooling needs.
If your locale has strict air conditioning regulations.

I live in Timisoara, a city located some 225 N-E from Vukovar. In both cities a multiethnic population lived in peace for centuries. During the Yugoslav Wars i watched and studied closely the siege of Vukovar, and finally, during the summer of 2013 i was able to briefly visit the town and take some photographs. What i wanted to capture was the mobilization of those who were not integrated into the multi-cultural life of the cities against urban multi-culturalism or how the former mayor of Belgrade, Bogdan Bogdanović, characterises the attack on Vukovar as an act of "urbicide", a deliberate assault on urbanism".

It's hard to believe that summer is coming to an end. Since school started last week and summer fruits are slowly disappearing from stores, I decided to make one final summer dessert. Usually when I eat cheesecake, a whole slice is a little overwhelming, but these minis turned out to be the perfect size.
Mini Raspberry Swirl Cheesecakes (click to print)
makes 24 mini cheesecakes
adapted from Martha Stewart via Zoom Yummy
1 1/2 cups finely ground graham crackers
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3 tablespoons sugar
1 container (6 ounces) fresh raspberries
2 tablespoons sugar
2 pounds cream cheese, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar
pinch of salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 large eggs, at room temperature
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line standard muffin tins with paper liners. Set aside.
Stir together ground graham crackers, melted butter, and sugar. Press 1 tablespoon of the mixture firmly into the bottom of each lined cup. Bake until set, about 5 minutes. Let cool.
In the bowl of a food processor, process the raspberries until smooth. Strain puree through a fine sieve into a small bowl, pressing with a flexible spatula to strain through as much liquid as possible; discard solids. Whisk in 2 tablespoons sugar. Set aside.
With an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat the cream cheese until fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. With the mixer on low speed, add the sugar in a steady stream. Add the salt and vanilla. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until just combined after each addition.
Spoon 3 tablespoons of filling over the crust in each cup. Dollop small drops of raspberry puree over the filling. With a wooden skewer or toothpick, swirl the puree into the filling. Bake until the filling is set, about 22-25 minutes. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.

Cummard, Plaisted lead BYU past San Diego State 63-54 in MWC semis
LAS VEGAS (AP)—The 24th-ranked BYU Cougars are headed to their second straight Mountain West Conference championship because they rendered Lorrenzo Wade a frustrated spectator in the first half and a flustered shooter in the second.
They neutralized San Diego State's versatile top scorer in a 63-54 win over the pesky Aztecs in the semifinals Friday night.
Lee Cummard scored 20 points and Trent Plaisted 19 for the Cougars (27-6), who will face second-seeded UNLV for the league's automatic NCAA bid Saturday night at the Thomas & Mack Center.
The Cougars were also the top seed last year, when they lost to UNLV in the title game.
BYU held Wade to 10 points on 5-of-15 shooting. He picked up two quick fouls in the opening minutes of the game and took a seat for the final 17 minutes of the first half, which ended with the Cougars ahead by just 26-25.
San Diego State coach Steve Fisher said he would have put Wade back into the game in the first half had things gotten away from the Aztecs, but decided against it with his team keeping it so close.
But did sitting so long get Wade out of synch offensively?
"It's tough to say. Who knows if I'd have shot the ball better if I'd have played more in the first half?" Wade said. "Bottom line, when I did get in the game, I don't think I did as much as I possibly could to help my team win. I needed to be more, I don't know, intense out there on the floor and a better leader. They did exactly what they needed to do to keep us in the game, especially while I was out.
"When I got in in the second half, I don't think I made the best decisions."
Cummard took an early charge on Wade, who then fouled the shooter on the ensuing possession.
"Lorrenzo is a great player, tough guard," Cummard said. "We had a lot of different things we were going to try to throw at them. They do such a good job of countering whatever you do. But I just tried to slide in front of him on that play. Luckily, (the) ref took care of me."
Wade played the entire second half but made just five of his 14 shots.
BYU coach Dave Rose kept throwing different defenders to keep Wade off his game.
"Lorrenzo is such a versatile player," Rose said. "And the challenge we felt as a coaching staff after playing him twice is that he loves to post up, but he's not your typical post player because he has so many guard skills. He can back-dribble, he can get space, he's a great passer, he's really good at gapping people and drawing a little bit of help and then finding other people off a pass."
BYU edged the Aztecs by three and four points during conference play but pulled away down the stretch on this night and made sure this one wasn't as much of a nail-biter.
Plaisted's three-point play and bank shot put the Cougars ahead 51-41 with 5 minutes to go and the Aztecs (20-12) couldn't get closer than six the rest of the way as BYU sank 8-of-10 free throws to fend off San Diego State.
Ryan Amoroso's 18 points led the Aztecs, who are hoping for a NIT bid.
The Cougars, who set a program record with 25 regular season wins, outscored the Aztecs 16-7 from the stripe, making 16-of-21 free throws. Cummard led the way by sinking all six of his foul shots, including four in the final minute to thwart the Aztecs' comeback hopes.
BYU, which went a league-record 14-2 in conference play, has reached the MWC championship game three other times, winning it in 2001.

Review By Steve Angelly - November 17, 2004
PCI-Express is here!
Today nV News reviews Gigabyte's 6600 PCI-Express video card. This is our first
Gigabyte product to review and we are eager to see just what they provide in
this new format. I have personally owned several Gigabyte motherboards and found
all to be high quality, trouble-free units but this is the first Gigabyte video
card that I have laid my hands on. So to begin, let's take a look at the card.
The card follows NVIDIA's reference design with little, or no, exceptions.
It's small at approximately 7¼ x 4½ inches with a 3 x 3 inch copper heatsink and
fan (HSF) providing air flow for cooling the graphics processing unit (GPU).
Notice that the card does not require a power connector as sufficient power is
supplied through the motherboard's PCI-Express connection.
Looking closer at the GeForce 6600's specifications, we find the supported PCI-Express
16x interface and 128MB of Hynix DDR SDRAM, which are allocated in 8 chips on the front side of the circuit board. This RAM is rates at 3.6ns, which translates to a clock speed of 275MHz (550MHz effective). The GeForce 6600 GPU is based on the
NV43 core and runs at a core frequency of 300MHz, which is 200MHz less than the GeForce 6600 GT. Additional specifications include a 128-bit memory bus, 8 pixel pipelines, and 3 vertex processing units.
Looking at the picture above, you can see the copper HSF and the GDDR1 ram. Also
evident is the small footprint of the card which makes me think about ease of
application in a small form factor (SFF) case.
From the back you can see the sparse, but neatly configured circuitry layout
and the pins securing the HSF. With the cooling performance I experienced during
the review and gameplay sessions, I don't see a need to replace the stock HSF
unless a passive cooling heatsink is desired. Noise level of the fan was
acceptable and could not be heard over the stock Pentium 4 CPU fan.

Private Payrolls, Factory Data Point to Weak Economic Growth
Private employers added the smallest number of workers in more than a year in March and factory activity hit a near two-year low, signaling a weak economy.
Private employers added the smallest number of workers in more than a year in March and factory activity hit a near two-year low, signaling a weak economy.
Consumer confidence rebounded in March amid optimism over the labor market while house prices rose in January, offering hopeful signs for the economy.
Consumer spending barely rose in February as households boosted savings to their highest level in more than two years.
An interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve may be warranted later this year, with a gradual path expected to follow, the central bank's chief says.
U.S. economic growth cooled in the fourth quarter as previously estimated, with businesses throttling back on inventory and equipment investment.
Durable goods data is unexpectedly weak. Kraft surges on its merger. The Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq all decline.
Orders to factories for long-lasting manufactured goods fell in February for the third time in four months, while a key investment category also fell.
Consumer prices rebounded in February as gas prices rose for the first time since June, and there were also signs of an uptick in inflation pressures.
Fuel demand in Texas is growing strongly as lower oil prices encourage motorists to use their vehicles more and buy larger replacements.
Producer prices unexpectedly fell in February, pointing to muted inflation pressures that could argue against an anticipated Fed rate hike in June.
Retail sales unexpectedly fell for a third straight month in February likely as harsh weather kept consumers from automobile showrooms and shopping malls.
Some of the worst-hit stocks were utilities and REITs, as they are high-yielding investments that would look less attractive after a rate hike.
Employers added 295,000 jobs and the jobless rate fell to a 5.5 percent in February, signs that could encourage the Fed to consider hiking interest rates.
U.S. stocks closed modestly higher Thursday after two days of declines, with investors holding back on big bets ahead of Friday's key employment report.
The number of new claims for unemployment benefits last week rose to its highest level since May, but experts dismissed the rise as a weather-related blip.
U.S. businesses added more than 200,000 jobs in February for the 13th straight month, the latest sign that strong hiring should boost the economy this year.
Consumer spending fell for a second consecutive month in January, weakness that was expected to be temporary, as incomes grew.
Stocks closed lower Friday as data showed economic growth slowed more than first thought in the fourth quarter, but the S&P 500 posts a strong monthly gain.
The number of Americans signing contracts to buy homes rose strongly in January, a sign that home sales are poised to accelerate after a slow start.
Economic growth braked more sharply than initially thought in the fourth quarter amid a slow pace of inventory build up and a wider trade deficit.
The S&P 500 and Dow slipped Thursday as energy shares fell with oil prices. The Nasdaq resumed its recent advance after deal news in the technology sector.
Consumer prices in January posted their biggest drop since 2008 as gasoline prices continued to tumble, while orders for durable goods rebounded.
Sales of new homes were basically flat in January, evidence that recent job gains and relatively low mortgage rates have yet to spur the real estate market.
U.S. home sales hit a snow drift in January, plunging to the slowest pace in nine months, hitting their lowest level since last April.
The average price of a gallon of gas rose 13 cents in the past two weeks, up 26 cents since prices bottomed out after a nine-month slide ended in January.
Stocks ended nearly flat Wednesday, with word that Fed officials last month expressed concern about raising interest rates too soon limiting the decline.
U.S. consumer sentiment fell in February, dropping from an 11-year high, a survey released Friday by the University of Michigan shows.
Consumer spending barely rebounded last month as households appeared to continue holding back on spending, suggesting economic growth was slow in January.
The U.S. trade deficit in December widened sharply to its highest level since 2012 as a stronger dollar appeared to suck in imports and weigh on exports.
U.S. companies hired at a solid pace last month, a private survey found, the latest sign of steady improvement in the job market.

While there is no proven correlation between the quality of one's educational institution and the quality of one's professional competence, it is often an indicator. Medical schools have various levels of selectivity (some are harder to get into than others), and both the quality of their clinical training and level of research are measured. Additional medical training in both residency and fellowships and the facilities they are conducted at also provide a history of the doctors' level of training and experience.

To keithwms re: charge for critique: As I wrote, this would be something optional after the photographs for the book was selected and put together.
Why I put it in there is that it occurred to me that some people might want some serious feedback. Giving a serious critique is no small thing. It requires a lot of effort. Paula and I teach occasional weekend Vision and Technique Workshops and giving a deep and serious helpful critique is a large part of it. We have been told repeatedly that in all of the other workshops that people had taken that they had never had anyone give them such a useful critique. So I thought that it would be a nice thing to offer if someone were interested--to offer it as a service--for less than 1/10 of our workshop fees. Of course, it is not a full workshop, but I know it would be valuable to anyone who was interested. If no one were interested, that would be fine, as I have too much to do as it is. Unfortunately, because of my limited time and the effort required, I cannot offer to give a serious critique for nothing.
We have found, in our workshops, that if people put up 10 or 20 or 30 or 40 photographs for us to critique and we ask them to tell us which they think are the best, and why, it is extremely rare that anyone picks the right ones. And their reasons for their selections usually have nothing to do with the photograph, but with some combination of their experience of making the photograph and what it means to them. In other words, they are not looking at their photographs the way a curator would look at them--look at them objectively without knowing (or caring), how or why they were made (although the "why" is usually evident from the photograph itself).
Thanks for explaining more precisely what you were objecting to and for giving me the opportunity to make clear what I was offering. Your first response to my long posting implied that I was charging for my time to select the photographs for the book, which I most definitely am not doing.

BALTIMORE -- Joe Flacco threw for 341 yards and accounted for four touchdowns - three passing, one rushing - as the Baltimore Ravens routed the Oakland Raiders 55-20 on Sunday. The Ravens set a team record for most points in a game, and did it with Flacco playing just three quarters before giving way to backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor. Torrey Smith had two touchdown receptions, tight end Dennis Pitta had one, running back Ray Rice added a touchdown on the ground and Jacoby Jones ran a kickoff back 105 yards for a score. Punter Sam Koch even got in on the act for the Ravens, running in a fake field goal for a seven-yard touchdown late in the third quarter. Baltimore improves to 7-2 on the season, while the Raiders drop to 3-6 with their second straight loss. Oakland now has allowed 97 points in its last two games. Raiders quarterback Carson Palmer threw for 368 yards and Denarius Moore had 90 receiving yards and a touchdown in a losing effort. The Ravens didn't punt on...

I like it a lot and I want to love this. However, the drydown is too powdery and the fragance has some florals which isn't my cup of tea. I Love the scent, but I don't like it on me. It sexy though.

There used to be a spray on type that you could use on the back of carpets. I would search the new for that. A few years ago I purchased a very large rag rug at World Market and I also purchased a non-slip backing that had adhesive on one side. But I think it was fairly expensive. But personally, I'd just buy the rubber shelf liner (mine is called Safe Shelf). I'd just sew it to the bottom side of the rug. I recently knit a cover for my steering wheel (the pattern is on here! lol) and rather than sew 4 smaller pieces of the shelf liner on the inside, I ended up sewing it all the way around. My steering wheel cover doesn't budge. And the shelf liner isn't very expensive. I use it under cutting boards and all sorts of things. Good luck to you!

Ron and I were married here in Massachusetts back in the summer of 2005. (Some of you may have even been in attendance.) Millions of dollars came in from out-of-state to try and get discrimination enshrined in the MA constitution; thanks to the courage of our legislature, they failed. Now, even more money is being funneled into California for a voter referendum intended to put the same discrimination into the CA constitution.
If you live in CA, vote. If you, like us, can't vote, then donate. We must do everything we can to preserve marriage equality in California.

Price invokes Susan Sontag on camp, and Jacques Derrida on writing, to support his incisive view of what works and what doesn't work in contemporary Lovecraftian fiction.
The basic idea of a Mythos tale . . . is an interior skeleton like a mammal's, a frame on which to grow . . . It forms the baseline against which the new variations may be measured. It is not a denial of flexibility; it is something to be flexible with.
H. P. Lovecraft was the eerily prescient genius who first electrified readers in Weird Tales magazine. His tales changed the face of horror forever and inspired the bloodcurdling offerings of a new generation. These brilliant dark visionaries forge grisly trails through previously uncharted realms of mortal terror.THE PLAIN OF SOUND by Ramsey Campbell: In the beginning they could find no source for the throbbing vibrations; in the end they could find no escape. THE HORROR ON THE BEACH by Alan Dean Foster: Along the coast of Santa Barbara, the mighty Pacific Ocean can no longer contain—or conceal—an ancient, insatiable evil stirring in its depths.THE KISS OF BUGG-SHASH by Brian Lumley: It mattered not how innocent the students' motives seemed; the demon had been summoned, and the price had to be paid—every last red drop of it.THE FISHERS FROM OUTSIDE by Lin Carter: A man obsessed with unlocking the secrets of a race older than time would not be disappointed— doomed perhaps, devoured possibly, but definitely not disappointed.AND TWENTY-ONE MORE TALES OF FEAR

Fred Heldenfels IV is new chair of the powerful Higher Education Coordinating Committee
CORPUS CHRISTI - San Marcos businessman Fred Heldenfels IV, who has deep roots in Corpus Christi and is a longtime booster of Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, is the new chairman of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.
The coordinating board sets policies to improve higher education, including approving new programs such as A&M-CC's long-sought engineering school, which was granted last year.
As chairman, Heldenfels is responsible for setting the board's agenda and the meetings' tone, local officials said.
"It means he is the most powerful, nonelected official on higher education issues in Texas," said Corpus Christi City Councilman Mark Scott, who has worked with Heldenfels on education issues. "Quite honestly, I think it shows Fred's abilities."
Gov. Rick Perry appointed Heldenfels to the nine-member coordinating board in 2006 to fill an unexpired term. He was reappointed in 2007 before Perry named him chairman April 30.
Heldenfels, the president and CEO of Heldenfels Enterprises Inc., was born and raised in Corpus Christi. He remains politically active here.
He knows he has years' worth of work ahead on the board, a position he relishes.
He will be charged with among other things, helping shepherd the Closing the Gaps by 2015 initiative that looks to improve student participation, student success and research.
In particular, the board wants to increase participation levels of Hispanic and black male students and the number of Hispanic and black graduates, Heldenfels said.
"We have got to increase the college-going rate and success rate of Hispanic young adults or we will not succeed," he said. "The population in South Texas is just exploding in part because of the growth of the Hispanic population."
Local higher education officials including A&M-CC President Flavius Killebrew and Del Mar College Board of Regents Chairman Trey McCampbell say Heldenfels was chosen because he has a superior knowledge of higher education.
"I am very pleased to see Fred get it, not only because we know him ... but more importantly having watched Fred as vice chair, Fred has comported himself very well," Killebrew said.
Heldenfels, a die-hard Texas A&M Aggie, worked in the 1990s to move the former Corpus Christi State University into the A&M System and to turn it into a four-year university. Heldenfels' support for the university's mechanical engineering program was critical to its establishment, state Rep. Solomon Ortiz and local businessman Bernard Paulson said.
Ortiz Jr., D-Corpus Christi, said Heldenfels, a Republican, has been a consistent and important advocate for all South Texas higher education causes.
"I don't think there could have been a better choice," he said.

Nigeria Democratically Elects Its Former Dictator
"The first transfer of power to the opposition through an election," is how former American ambassador to Nigeria John Campbell described it in a phone call on Tuesday. For Nigeria, a country with a history of election-related violence and military coups, Jonathan's phone call to Buhari conceding defeat was a positive sign for the prospects of a peaceful transition. "I think the fact that President Jonathan made a concessionary phone call to Buhari sets the right tone," said Campbell.

LOS ANGELES -- There was a time when a 15-point win over the Los Angeles Lakers on their home floor was a cause for celebration. At least a smile or two. Not in the Oklahoma City Thunder locker room, though. Not with the Lakers just a shell of their former selves. Not with bigger fish to fry. These Thunder have their eyes on a grander prize. Oklahoma City built a 20-point lead early in the third quarter and the younger, faster Thunder sprinted away from the lackadaisical Los Angeles Lakers in a 116-101 win on Friday night at Staples Center. But as Kevin Durant points out, these are not the same Lakers. More importantly, these are not the same Thunder. "We're preparing for every game like it's our last," said Durant, whose squad advanced to the NBA Finals last season but lost to the Hear. "That's the approach we have here. We're just trying to get better every single day." Playing against a Los Angeles front court decimated by injury, the Thunder could've taken th...

The University of Maryland Eastern Shore - Comments and Student Experiences
I am a Marketing major at this university. The Business Department is great at preparing me for the "real world." The department strives on making sure everyone is successful. Every professors that I had does not set you up for failure. They are determine to make you learn and apply yourself when faced with challenges. It is important to keep in mind that you are in charge of your own success. Like many other Universities, you are not going to like all your professors or the work given. However, if you apply yourself, work hard, and ask questions; you will exceed. There are numerous organizations that you can take part of at this campus. I personally think we have different organizations that cater to everyone's interest. It is hard not to get involved on this campus because of the opportunities.

For a more urban environment, consider the Mercedes-Benz E350 BlueTEC. Mercedes is known for its progressive technology and posh interiors. The E Class doesn't disappoint: It has advanced sound and comfort technology in the cabin paired with burnished trim and wooden veneers. It also has LED daytime lights and enough stability programs to ensure a smooth ride in even the most pock-marked of Manhattan streets. The $51,690 BlueTEC diesel edition gets 32 miles per gallon on the highway.
And for likely the best overall value on this list, consider something from Hyundai.
"Veloster is one of my favorites," says Jake Fisher, the head automotive tester for Consumer Reports.
He's right: The $17,300 hatchback is unique because it has three passenger doors rather than two or four–one side of the car has a second side door while the other has only a driver-side door. Veloster combines an aggressively styled front grill with a 1.6-liter engine that sips fuel with the best of them (40mpg on the highway). But it drives with spunk, thanks in part to the fact that it weighs about as much as a Mazda Miata.
Electric Avenue
The ultimate high-mpg status symbol, though, requires nothing less than electricity. Fisker's plug-in Karma sedan, with a buttery smooth ride and exotic good looks–plus 300-mile drive range–has received rave reviews.
And the Tesla Model S, due out in July, combines progressive technology inside with a 0-60mph time on par with the Porsche Panamera.
A 40 kWh version of the seven-passenger sedan will cost just under $50,000 with federal rebates; the higher performing will cost more: $59,900 for a 60 kWh (230-mile-range) model and $69,900 for an 85 kWh (300-mile-range) model. The 85 kWh performance Model S, which comes with additional equipment like Nappa leather interior and performance wheels, will cost $79,900 after federal tax rebates.
The dashing good looks and cool personality of both these sedans are nearly as electric as their motors. Of course, if you drive a green car like one of these, you may miss the sound of a rumbling engine and the challenge of changing gears.
It's no small thing. Just ask Zack.
"I'm really thrilled because with the MINI because I get to drive a car that actively excites me," he says. "But I still wish they had gotten a stick shift!"

It was a grand affair. Many worthy folk in the mining industry were inducted. I am told that the March or April issue of the magazine will document their achievements and contributions to mining.
I note only Andy Robertson who was inducted for these contributions:
- Founding of Steffen Robertson and Kirsten, now SRK.
- Founding of GemCom that now has the name Geovia.
- Founding of InfoMine and EduMine, both of which I contribute to.
- Founding of Robertson Geoconsultants for which I work.
- Leading the way forward on responsible tailings management.
- Leading the technology on acid mine drainage.
I might add that it was Andy who got me started on this blog. Although he has had occasion to rue that lead and the blog, for on a number of occasions he has been asked to tell me to remove postings. As a true gentleman, he has done so with discretion and dignity.
In his acceptance speech Andy thanked his family, his colleagues, and his clients–all of whom have supported his hard work. He mentioned only one name: Professor Jere Jennings who taught so many of us in mining geotechnology the basics of the art. His contributions and memory live on in people of Andy's caliber.

In a candid conversation on C-SPAN, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg shared her thoughts on "Women, Gender Discrimination and the Courts" at the University of Colorado Law School and said she thought there should be an all-female court.
Ginsberg reflected on Justice Sandra Day O'Connor being the lone female voice on the court for 12 years. When Ginsberg was appointed, the National Association of Women Judges held a reception where they presented her with a t-shirt that read "I'm Ruth, not Sandra", as well as one to O'Connor that read "I'm Sandra, not Ruth". Ginsberg noted that lawyers would confuse them even though they didn't look alike, or speak alike.
During the period of time when she was the only female on the bench, she said it was lonely. "It was the wrong perception for people to see a little woman and eight large men," Ginsberg said.
"So now the perception is, yes, women are here to stay. And when I'm sometimes asked when will there be enough? And I say when there are nine, people are shocked. But there'd been nine men, and nobody's ever raised a question about that," said Ginsberg.
See her comments here.

As of Wednesday, September 18, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
It seemed unfathomable for years that Brookwood and Parkview, Gwinnett's flagship football programs in Georgia's biggest class, would struggle simultaneously. Or struggle at all.
Looking back, there was a period of nearly 15 years where the two powers never lost on the same day. My curiosity about that was satisfied this week with some help from the Georgia High School Football Historians Associations.
On Oct. 18, 1991, Parkview lost 28-7 to Central Gwinnett and Brookwood lost 30-17 to Clarke Central. The two schools didn't lose a varsity football game on the same day again until Sept. 2, 2006, when they both lost season-opening Corky Kell Classic matchups — Parkview 30-6 to Warner Robins and Brookwood 21-17 to Camden County.
That run was amazing, which makes it harder to wrap my mind around where we stand now.
Brookwood and Parkview are both 0-3. Instead of their typical spots, they share a position at the bottom of Region 8-AAAAAA after region-opening losses last Friday — the Broncos losing to Archer and the Panthers losing to Grayson.
It may look like what other Gwinnett teams have begged for years, that it's time to write off those two programs. Forget about the playoffs. It's time for new teams in the postseason.
Not so fast on those hopes, though.
These two may be down for the moment, but they're far from out. I expect both of them to play better in the coming weeks, improve their record and contend for playoff spots.
Though they're both 0-1 in the region, their losses came to probably the two most talented teams in 8-AAAAAA. Brookwood's two non-region losses came to teams who could make legitimate state title runs this year, McEachern and Mill Creek. Meanwhile, Parkview lost to another state title contender in Norcross and had 7-AAAAAA unbeaten Peachtree Ridge tied until a couple of interceptions for touchdowns in the fourth quarter.
While the Broncos didn't play their best the first two weeks, I was impressed with the fight they showed last Friday against Archer. The Tigers led, but injury-plagued Brookwood fought back for a fourth-quarter lead that just slipped away. That effort, and much of the same coaching staff that has won two state titles, gives optimism for the coming weeks.
The same can be said for Parkview. Head coach Cecil Flowe, and some of his assistants, have won four state titles. Though last week's loss to Grayson was rough, Flowe's group showed toughness against Peachtree Ridge and even more in a battle with Norcross that it lost only 21-7.
It doesn't get much easier this week for the Panthers, who host Archer, while the Broncos have a bye week to get ready for Sept. 27. That's the Friday night of the Battle of Five Forks-Trickum, the rivalry night that will decide these two traditional powers' playoffs fates, this year maybe more than ever.
It will bring one team closer to the playoffs, while dealing the other's postseason hopes a painful blow.

In her first fight in a year and a half, Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos took no time to stop Hiroko Yamanaka and retain her belt at the Strikeforce fights in San Diego on Saturday night. Santos landed a flush right to drop Yamanaka right off the bell. Yamanaka got back to her feet, but Santos inundated her with another flurry of shots. The fight was stopped at just 16 seconds in the first round. "I'm very happy. I trained hard for a year and a half, and I want to fight more. This was a Christmas gift for you guys," Santos said after the bout. Showtime commentator asked her about a bout with up-and-coming fighter Ronda Rousey. "I think she speaks too much. I'm ready anywhere, any time." Santos has cut through the women's featherweight division and doesn't have many other opponents of interest. Her last four fights have ended in a TKO or KO, and her record stands at 11-1. Yamanaka, who has spent most of her career in the Japanese promotion Jewels, is now 12-2.

I'm not into the "bullseye tattoo" (as in the lower back tat) and I've never been tattooed before or wanted to be. But I think this is something I want, a permanent reminder of my kids.
Can you show me what you've got? Or what you've seen that you like?

Got a make-up gift, though I don't wear make-up: what to think of this?
It is from my mother, I got some sort of make-up kit as a gift. I'm 22 and I never wear make-up. This certainly sounds stupid but it was enough to... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
she isn't doing it to bash you, she is trying to help, even the most beautiful girls look better with some makeup. past college or even high school, not wearing makeup is IMO the face equivalent of going outside in pajamas.
I've thought about it and honestly though I know it's not her aim, I can't help but feel a bit insecure over the whole thing. The best comparison I could find, was that of a slightly chubby girl that is fine with her curves that gets a weight loss program as a gift. Even if it comes from a good intention, with the aim to make her "look better" it still says "you're not beautiful the way you are"
And I understand that it can be required for women to put on some make-up when they work but I'm not past college yet.
What Guys Said 4
If it wasn't from your mother, I'm sure it would mean nothing.
But parents give things to kids they think they 'could use' sometimes.
Yes, she's trying to tell you to put some make-up on sometimes.
Thanks, she does want me to use it. But I am still confused as to why ? Maybe it is just me missing something here but I don't understand why I would be given make-up when I don't want it, or express the need for it. The only reason I can find for her to do this is to think that it would help me. And moreover she knows what I think about make-up, so her giving it to me is like her telling me I'm wrong and that I need it.
Or maybe I'm just reading too much into it.
That's exactly what she's telling you.
As you grow older, women start to become a little more sophisticated into how they dress (or well, at least in my opinion, they should). Adding a little makeup, here and there, now and then...will improve your chances of meeting a man. Men don't wear makeup, so it makes you look too manly, when you don't...Men typically don't want manly looking women
I agree about women being more sophisticated as they grow older, but how does not wearing make-up make a woman look manly?
She is trying to help you, she isn't saying you aren't good enough as you are. I'd guess she doesn't want you to be disadvantaged compared to other women based on you not wearing make up. Well applied make up will make any girl look more attractive.
Having said that its great that you are willing to go against the pressure from society and your mother and do what you want to do, most people aren't capable of that.
Thanks. I honesty think make-up is overrated. Sure it is useful if you go to some dinner or party, but the daily use of it does more damage to the skin than good.
What's most important to me is to stay healthy not to give the illusion of it.
What Girls Said 5
Parents want the best for their children.your mom is trying to tell you that you'd look better with some makeup. What's confusing about that? It akes everyone look better and more put together. Maybe not everyday, but you should at least put in effort sometimes or you'll come off as lazy
It's confusing because I live with her and she sees me every day. She knows I never put on any make-up and she's never said anything about it. It was quite surprise receiving this. I honestly thought there was some mistake at first, and couldn't believe it was from her.
- Show Older Hide Older
Still, she may just have thought it better to spare your feelings. The war thing you can do is try out he makeup and wear it every so often to please your mom
The best***
Does she wear makeup?
If so, she probably just wants you to be like her, although it maybe subconscious, she may want to "bond" with you over makeup and put it on you, etc. It's every mother's dream to make their little girl into a princess :) I think she's only trying to help, and trying to show that she loves you.
hope it helped :)x
Well, no, she doesn't wear a lot of make-up. She has some kohl eye pencil, some blush and that is all. She used to put on some more when she was younger (mascara and lipstick). But she would never use foundation or eye shadow. And the make up box she gave me really has it all. Foundation, blush, eye shadow, mascara, lip gloss. It's supposed to be a sort of mini make-up station. I'm still surprised honestly as to why she chose that.
Have an opinion?
