Mercedes E500 Cabriolet Review - Luxury Travel Magazine
Blue Sky Thinking
|By: Sam Tinson, Issue 43 – Winter 2010
|(Review Mercedes E500 Cabriolet)
|Weatherwise, I picked a bad week to test drive the new Mercedes E500 Cabriolet. For six days its fully-automatic, triple-insulated, sound-proofed fabric lid stayed firmly and depressingly closed as Sydney was relentlessly battered by torrential rain, flash floods and gale-force winds. Every day my fingers itched to pull the little lever on the centre console that would lift the lid on this state-of-the-art convertible, and every day the apocalyptic deluge outside caused me to think better of it, or risk the E500 becoming the world's most expensive spa bath.
So when, on my final day with the car, I saw a patch of blue sky hovering over Sydney's northern beaches, I decided to head straight for it. All going well I could enjoy a spell of carefree, wind-in-the-hair motoring and then lunch at Jonah's, the exclusive Relais & Chateaux retreat perched high above the surf at Whale Beach, where whales and dolphins are a common sight from the lounge deck. You can get to Jonah's via a 12-minute seaplane ride from Rose Bay, but I reckoned rocking up in a factory fresh convertible Merc was the next best thing.
Once out on the open road, it soon became evident that the E500, which replaces the CLK in the Mercedes line-up, was as keen as I was to reach sunnier climes. Packing a blustery 5.5-litre V8 with 285kW of power, it's currently the most potent model in the new E-Class range, at least until the arrival on these shores of one bearing an AMG-badge. Driving the rear wheels via a seven-speed automatic transmission (7G-Tronic in Mercedes speak) the engine is a terrifically flexible unit, refined and responsive when cruising but capable of some seriously rorty antics when let off the leash.
The autobox can be overridden using the centrally-mounted gear lever or paddles on the steering column, but with 530Nm of torque available from 2800 to 4800 rpm the power is always there when you want it, making manual shifting more a pleasure than a necessity.
There is of course a 'Sport' mode – engaged via a discreet button on the dash – and it's not merely for show. Pressing it firms up the suspension, tweaks the gear ratios and increases throttle response. If anything it's a little too effective, making an otherwise immaculately behaved car twitchy and unpredictable. For those who love a spirited drive on an open road though, it delivers the goods, along with an impressive 0-100km/h time of 5.3 seconds.
Despite its wicked streak the E500 Cabriolet is at heart a cultivated beast. Cruising at speed with the top up the cockpit is so well insulated against noise and weather it's easy to forget you've got a bit of cloth for a roof. In fact during my week scooting around a rain-lashed Sydney, cosseted by heated seats, soothed by the rich tones of the 12-speaker Harman Kardon audio system, even watching a spot of television while stuck in traffic (the E500 comes with a digital-analogue TV receiver as standard) it was hard to think of a nicer place to hole up in a storm. Seven-inch colour display hard-disc-based navigation, voice control six-disc in-dash CD/DVD changer and six gigabyte of digital music storage are also standard features in this model.
When I finally did get to open the roof (my hunch about heading north proved correct) the E500's raft of technological innovations came into their own. The intelligent three-zone climate control sensed the change in temperature (it's also responsive to sunlight, humidity and even air quality) and ramped up the heating accordingly; a touch of a button brought those heated seats online; another sent a cosy current of warm air rippling over my neck and shoulders from the Airscarf, a discreet vent integrated into the head restraint. Finally I engaged the Aircap, a foil that pops up over the windshield, deflecting air up and over the cockpit to reduce draught and wind noise. It's simple but effective, especially at high speeds when the reduction in turbulence is most tangible. Opening or closing the hood takes only 20 seconds, and can be done at speeds of up to 40km/h. Mercedes claim that all these gizmos make the E500 Cabrio suitable for open top motoring in almost any season, and barring outright Biblical deluge it's hard to disagree.
The only contentious aspect of the E500 is its slabby, aggressive styling, which people tend to love or hate. The LED running lights and split headlights garnered a lot of comments, not all of them flattering. However, with its sporty AMG cosmetics, split-spoke 18-inch alloys and wedge-shaped profile the E-Cab cuts a certain dash and when I pulled up at Jonah's several staff and guests lost interest in the two whales that had been spotted in the bay earlier and came out for an approving tire kick. Tempted by a mouth-watering Mod-Oz menu from award-winning chef George Fransisco and those stunning panoramic views, I stayed at Jonah's until some decidedly unfriendly looking rain clouds threatened to spoil my plans for a roofless ride home. The E500 is one very clever and capable cabrio. If only it came with sunshine as standard.

Kacie B's BACHELORETTE BLOG: EPISODE 2
We are to week two of the fairytale love story we are all watching unfold. I was shocked by this episode!! I feel like there was a bachelor first here! So let's break it down…
RYAN gets the first one-on-one date. (I'm secretly hoping it doesn't go well for selfish reasons First of all, I want to meet his pastor, he's totally right, how you treat your woman is how she will treat you! I digress, Ryan looked adorable in his V-neck shirt and shorts… love the casual look on him. So the first part of the date was kind of a bore. Even though that is her everyday life and he was a good sport about it, if I was her I'd have wanted an actual date for the first date. But it does show everyday life I guess. Then we move to the night part of the date and they show up to her favorite restaurant where the "tough questions" begin. I think they covered some good topics, but I thought that the delivery of some of the questions were awkward. But I think that Ryan has a good head on his shoulders. I seriously hope he doesn't get the final rose. Now I'm super stoked that Gloriana made an appearance. I love "Kissed you" and it would have been the icing on the cake if he had, but he respected the whole mom thing.
Back at the house the group date card came… and this is where I thought maybe I had butt changed the channel because Kermit and Miss Piggy dominated a good hour of the show. Once I realized that I wasn't watching Nick Jr., I was ready to see who was going to make a fool of themselves. I think that Charlie is adorable, he was very open about his stage fright and Emily appreciated it. I love that CH got a part in the show too! Mr. Harrison can always depend on the Muppets if the Bachelor/Bachelorette ever ends. And, how adorable was Jef's proposal to Miss Piggy? I'm sure Kermit was a little jealous! And then Charlie came way out of his comfort zone and TALKED on stage! What a peach! The ending of the show with a Ricki appearance was so cute… It really showed the guys that side of Emily that they hadn't gotten to see yet.
At the "night" portion of the date – Emily seems to have been on a different date during the day because she seemed to have been looking for every guy "all day long." When she finally found Jef, she was very awkward… and then Stevie is slowing dancing with Emily and the frat house got a little jealous. Kalon, or as Stevie called him "Chopper" (props by the way), cuts in and when he doesn't get enough time he gets peeved. Flattering yes, but also part of the game dude. This isn't your first cocktail party at this point. I was hoping Stevie would have given it to him but disappointment is all I got.
JOE is the last date of the episode. They're off to West Virginia to the Greenbriar. Emily looks amazing in her nude dress! It's a must have! Joe is so sweet and has such a great energy.
Back at the house, Kalon goes down on the list some more, if it's even possible to go past last, when he ruffles Doug's feathers about being a dad and taking a break to come on the show. This guy says things and then denies them in the next sentence. Let's remember that this will be played again on national television dude. You can't get away with lying here!
Now Joe and Emily are frolicking in WV, eating dinner, putting wishes in clocks, and no sparks are flying for Emily. Joe really seems to like Emily and have her best interest at heart. The guy would move to where she is for crying out loud. But I guess if the spark isn't there she'll send you packing, which is good… there are no games for her and the tears start flowing! She doesn't think she and Ricki fit into his life… well Emily where do you and Ricki fit into "Chopper's" life? And then off he goes, and the lonely fireworks…did they really still have to shoot them off?
The next night Emily shows up at the cocktail party looking stunning in the purple full-length gown. And the only thing I'm going to comment on from this evening is the VERY AWKWARD Tony trying to interrupt and Ryan giving Emily the novel he wrote. Seems like West Virginia has a great school system, Emily read that WHOLE note without any trip ups! And then Tony had to follow that, I wonder if he used any of Ryan's lines from the note? A SEVEN-page note at that! But Tony was a sport and opened up about having a kid…that's clutch for him!
Kalon…gag me; he pays close attention to his day of the word calendar. He'd better be careful he might get dumber while he's there since he couldn't take it with him! And OMG they're on a swing!
ROSE CEREMONY time. CH comes in to announce – Ryan and Jef are safe.
AXED: Aaron and Kyle (I think this is the first time I've seen him).
I'm starting to dig some more of these guys! Can't wait for DOLLY next week when they come to East Tennessee! Until then LIVE YOUR DASH.

Event Name- OR - Select an option below
A quick glance at the menu reveals the usual office-park offerings: wraps, burgers, sandwiches and espresso. But it's not until you actually order that you realize there is greatness in this deli. Eggs dishes, whether omelets or otherwise prepared come topped with anything from feta to gooey cheese; wraps bulge like burritos, and breakfast burritos even get pressed down, Chipotle-style, to add a bit of char on the flour tortilla. A Roma Panini is a seemingly simple creation of chicken, mushrooms and sundried tomatoes bound by cheese, but the interplay in those clichéd ingredients shows a care to detail: the grilled chicken is lean but still succulent; the sundried tomatoes applied judiciously, their overpowering pop of umami always accentuating, never overshadowing their peers.

"When you work with Pedro, I believe you have to take a leap of faith," Banderas said.
Peter Christopherson made the leap to life on the bandstand and became a pioneer in the industrial music genre.
The minimum duration of the voice recordings made in the cockpit should leap from the two hours now mandated to 20 hours.
But it was a celebration of past achievements, not a leap toward the future.
Yet, as Walker notes, the leap from despising a New World Order to demonizing TSA agents is, sadly, not a huge one.
It was idle; a magic seems to shield a captive's leap for life.
Again we take a leap of about twenty years, and alight in the midst of the Revolution.
So that if a chestnut was a fiver, and it beat a tenner, it became at one leap a fifteener.
He had but to say to me, 'leap into the water,' and I would not have stopped to pull off my coat.
Elise's heart gave a leap: these very herbs were for Valmond!
c.1200, from Old English hleapan "to jump, run, leap" (class VII strong verb; past tense hleop, past participle hleapen), from Proto-Germanic *khlaupan (cf. Old Saxon hlopan, Old Norse hlaupa, Old Frisian hlapa, Dutch lopen, Old High German hlouffan, German laufen "to run," Gothic us-hlaupan "to jump up"), of uncertain origin, with no known cognates beyond Germanic. Leap-frog, the children's game, is attested by that name from 1590s; figurative use by 1704.
First loke and aftirward lepe [proverb recorded from mid-15c.]Related: Leaped; leaping.
c.1200, from Old English hliep, hlyp (West Saxon), *hlep (Mercian, Northumbrian) "a leap, bound, spring, sudden movement; thing to leap from;" common Germanic (cf. Old Frisian hlep, Dutch loop, Old High German hlouf, German lauf); from the root of leap (v.). Leaps has been paired with bounds since at least 1720.

VC Earns over $30 million so far
Posted by Darren Calvert
A recent press conference in Tokyo shed some light on the astonishing success of the Virtual Console service so far.
Nintendo's own Shinji Hatano reiterated a previous figure of 7.8 million downloads and then went on to reveal that currently the service had generated 3.5 billion yen ($33 million / £16 million)
The humble Nintendo exec then saids of these figures, "We're currently unsure if this is a lot or low. They're not bad figures."
Considering that Nintendo haven't been transparent with the exact figures for what has been downloaded so far this vague statement is about as close as we might get to understanding just how successful the Virtual Console service has been so far. It seems certain by any standards that within a one year period the VC has delivered great returns for Nintendo and the companies who partner with them.
We at the VC:R look forward to another great year of releases in 2008!

Australia is well known for its unique wildlife. Everyone loves koalas and kangaroos. Unfortunately, there are other species which can really hurt, or even kill you. I don't want to scare you, far from it! Know what to find there, and you'll be right.
Crocodiles, Box Jellyfishes (Sea Wasps) and Stonefishes
Australia's beautiful beaches and coastal areas inhabit some of the most dangerous Australian animals.
- The Box Jellyfish or Sea Wasp causes more deaths than snakes, salt water crocodiles and sharks together. It is abundant on the northerly tropical coastlines during the Australian summer. Sea Wasps fire an extremely powerful venom when you come in contact with them.
- Saltwater Crocodiles or Estuarine Crocodiles live in rivers and freshwater swamps on the coastline in northerly Australia. Salties grow up to 5 m, some exemplars get even a bit bigger. They have powerful jaws that won't give you any chance to escape once they have grabbed you. Salties are the world's largest reptiles. They are saved in Australia.
- The Stonefish can be found among rocks in shallow waters on beaches and islands north of the Tropic of Capricorn. Its venomous spines release a toxin that causes severe pain and shock.
How to avoid trouble and first aid
- Obey the signs that warn you about Saltwater Crocodiles and the Box Jellyfish along rivers and beaches.
- Wear shows while walking in water on stony beaches and coral islands.
- Vinegar inactivates the stinging cells of the Box Jellyfish and should be poured over the tentacles before you remove them from a victim.
- Bath the stung area of Stonefish stings in hot water to reduce the pain.
Transport victims to infirmary as soon as possible. Antivenom for Stonefish and Box Jellyfish is available.
Australian snakes and spiders
Snakes and spiders ar found all over Australia, in the cities and the Outback. There are a few snakes species supposed to be the most venomous in the world. Unless feeling trapped, snakes and spiders won't "attack" humans. Leave them alone, and they won't do you any harm.
How to prevent snake bites?
- Most snake bites happen due to silly behaviour. Don't provoke them, don't try to catch or kill a snake.
- Wear socks and boots when walking in high grass.
- Don't lift large rocks and dead wood.
- When you see a snake, stamp your feet and let is slither away.
First aid for snake bites
- Don't cut the wound, don't wash it either.
- Don't put ice on the wound.
- Immediately apply a pressure immobilisation patch as you would do to treat a sprained ankle. The bandage slows down the movement of the venom. But don't make it too firm. The patch shouldn't stop the blood flow, and should stay in place until a doctor looks after the victim.
First aid for wanderer bites
- Spider bites by big black spiders should be treated as funnel web bites. Apply a pressure immobilization bandage. Seek medical advice as soon as possible. Antivenom is available.
- Redback spider bites ar painful. Apply an ice pack to relieve the pain. Antivenom is available but only given if the pain consists, and/or symptoms like headache and nausea develop.
Now that you know a little about the dangerous Australian wildlife, do you feel better prepared? I really hope so. Please do ne'er forget, the risk of acquiring hurt in a car accident is much higher than being hurt by any Australian animal. Be careful, but don't worry too much.
Enjoy Australia's unique wildlife.

I couldn't be more pleased with my results! Dr. Rai is an artist!
My entire experience was fantastic. From my first visit just gathering information to my one-year checkup. Dr. Rai and his staff work hard to create an atmosphere that makes you comfortable and he provides you with all the information you need. One year later I am certain having the surgery was the best decision I ever made. For the first time my life I'm not ashamed of my body. Thank you!
Dr Rai was exceptional, I would definitely go back to him for any additional improvements. He performed breast implant surgery on me and I am so happy with the results. Although I am 67 years young, this has made me look even years younger, my clothes fit so much better and I feel so good about my body. He has many years of experience and makes you feel calm and assured of what he is going to do, he also helps you make a good decision on size to assure that you dont look fake after the procedure. I should have had this years ago. Mrs. E
I cant begin to thank you enough for everything you have done for me. I am thrilled and excited with the results of my cosmetic surgery! I feel and look 10 years younger since my neck lift and the added chin implant was a brilliant suggestion and I love it! The Restylane was an unexpected bonus that I will never do without! My friends and family and colleagues are amazed with my new look. At my age competing in the work place is increasingly difficultwell no more. I can compete with the best of them thanks to you! Ive never been short on energy and enthusiasm and now I look the way I feel! You are truly the best and your staff is so warm and friendly and made the whole experience wonderful from beginning to end. Thank you for making me feel like I was your only patient!
Dr. Rai and his staff are kind, caring, professional people. They really listen to you and want to provide the best care they possibly can to you. Dr. Rai takes the time to listen to what you want, however, he will not do a procedure that he believes is not in your best interest. Dr. Rai is a man of integrity as well as being an excellent surgeon. I have had several surgeries and procedures done by Dr. Rai. He and his staff take the time to explain to you what to expect and answer all of your questions and concerns. My recovery time has always been quick, scarring, if any, has been minimal, and the results are amazing!! I would recommend Dr. Rai and his staff to anyone who is considering a cosmetic procdure.
Dr Rai is simply amazing!He helped me overcome my fears before the surgry. He has great bedside manners.He did an amazing job.At 52 I look better than I did at 28! His staff are really great. I never had to wait more than 5 minutes for any of my appointments. I would definately recommend him.
This is in response to the review, on multiple review sites, that you posted on Mar 5th and 6th- My name is Roberta Bryan. I am the Office manager for Dr. Vasdev Rai, M.D. Hopefully you will read and respond to this message. We are shocked and also genuinely concerned that you may not have the correct surgeon, Dr. Vasdev Rai? . (You list your insurance on one of your reviews and our office does not accept insurances.) If indeed you are our patient, please accept our sincere apology. We honestly must not have been made aware of your displeasure during your follow up visit. If we ever have patient concerns, then we make certain they are addressed and reconciled promptly. Also, I would like to address your low ratings regarding patient wait time, courtesy of staff, time spent with patient etc... In the several years of my employment here at CSC, we haven't had a single complaint regarding one of these issues, nor have I personally witnessed such actions among staff. I'm not claiming that this did not happen, but I am interested to know the details of your experience. Please take the time to speak with me so that we can resolve this issue. In regards to scarring, a 1inch to 1 1/2 inch scar, for any surgeon, is absolutely ideal for proper implantation. We take pride in our patient care and professionalism here at CSC. We truly value the relationship that we have with each individual patient. Please contact me immediately so that we can assure that your experience is as amazing as the rest of our patients!
Dr. Rai is a con man, I thought I could trust him, but he let me down. I've got huge scars an inch to an inch and a half down under my breast crease. He makes up excuses and lies. I would never recommend him or go back to him.
I am so thrilled with the success of my breast reduction. Dr. Rai is the very best and I would recommend him without a doubt. Thank you Dr. Rai........
I could not be happier with my results. Its been weeks since the surgery, and I'm so happy I found First visit he told me exactly what he will do, and how I will look! I had surgery from different Dr.I was not happy with my results, But Dr Rai fixed everything! If I ever need another surgery I would not spent my time or money anywhere else but here.. His staff is amazing and so helpful!!Thank you Dr Rai and staff for making me happy!!V B.
He is an excellent Dr. I had a rhinoplasty, liposuction and wrinkle injections. He was so wonderful and love my new look.
Dr. Rai put me at ease immediately upon my arrival! The staff was kind and knowledgeable! They are PROS! One of the things that most impressed me was the post care! He got me safely through the procedure, and THEN he made TWO consecutive Saturday house calls! He didn't want me to injure myself and didn't want my husband to transport me! I can't say enough wonderful things about my experience with Dr. Rai and his staff. I continue to pass along contact information to anyone looking for incomparable cosmetic surgery!
Best beside manner you will find and I love my tummy tuck. It has changed my life!

Brussels Press Conference Daniel Estulin - Conferencia de Prensa en Bruselas Daniel Estulin
Brussels Press Conference Daniel Estulin
Ladies and gentlemen,
We are now in a position to change history. I finally believe that mankind has a future. A once demoralised population with no moral purpose is coming out of their prolonged slumber. In this general awakening, people are beginning to ask the right questions. It´s no longer, "what will I get out of it?" but rather "What´s right?" It´s an international phenomenon of response and reaction to an overly felt perception that the entire world is doomed to catastrophe, unless we the people do something about it.
I have written a book on the subject of the Bilderberg Group. This book, in a way, has become the catalyst for a movement around the world. Now, we don´t have a lot of time, so I would like to explain to you what Bilderberg is and why it must be stopped.
In the world of international finance, there are those who steer the events and those who react to the events. While the latter are better known, greater in numbers, and seemingly more powerful, the true power rests with the former. At the centre of the global financial system are the financial oligarchy today represented by the Bilderberg group.
Bilderberg organization is dynamic, in that it changes with the times, absorbs and cerates new parts while excreting the remains of the decaying parts. Members come and go, but the system itself has not changed. It is a self-perpetuating system, a virtual spider web of interlocked financial, political, economic and industry interests.
Now, Bilderberg isn´t a secret society. It is not an evil, all-seeing eye. There is no conspiracy even though a lot of people with their infantile fantasies see it as such. No group of people, and I don't care how powerful they are, sit around the table in dark room, holding hands, staring at a crystal ball, planning the world´s future.
It´s a meeting of people who represent a certain ideology.
Not OWG or NWO as too many people mistakenly believe. Rather, the ideology is of a ONE WORLD COMPANY LIMITED. Back in 1968, at a Bilderberg meeting in Canada, George Ball, the then Under-secretary for Economic Affairs with JFK and Johnson said: "Where does one find a legitimate base for the power of corporate management to make decisions that can profoundly affect the economic life of nations to whose governments they have only limited responsibility?"
The idea behind each and every Bilderberg meeting is to create what they themselves call THE ARISTOCRACY OF PURPOSE between European and North American elites on the best way to manage the planet. In other words, the creation of a global network of giant cartels, more powerful than any nation on Earth, destined to control the necessities of life of the rest of humanity, obviously from their vantage point, for our own good and in our benefit – THE GREAT UNWASHED AS THEY CALL US.
Now, the reason people don't believe in Bilderberg and other organisations working together exercising such control on the world stage is that theirs is a Cartesian fantasy world, in which the isolated intentions of some individuals, NOT the dynamics of social processes shape the course of history as the movement of evolving ideas and themes over successive generations and even centuries.
Bilderberg is a medium of bringing together financial institutions which are the world´s most powerful and most predatory financial interests. And at this time, it is that combination which is the worst enemy of humanity.
We can all congratulate ourselves in that today, Bilderberg has become the mainstay of corporate media. Not because corporate media has suddenly remembered their responsibility to us, but because we the people, have forced them into this uncomfortable position by becoming very aware that Presidents and Prime Ministers and your little shrinking Queens and Kings are puppets of powerful forces working from behind the scenes.
Something has happened to us, the people in the midst of this general economic collapse. People at large are gripped by something they don't always understand. But, it compels them to act in a certain way, in their own interest. That´s what they are doing in Greece. That's what they are doing in Spain, in the United States. It´s called the anthropic principle. It´s like a tidal movement came upon us and washed our fears away. As people realise that their existence is threatened, they have lost their fear, and Bilderberg and others sense it.
Perhaps that´s why at a recent Council on Foreign Relations speech in Montreal, Zbigniew Brzezinski, one of the founders of the TC, warned that a "global political awakening," in combination with infighting amongst the elite, was threatening to derail the move towards a one world government.
You see people at this table come from very different ideological and political backgrounds. What unites us, however, is that we are all patriots. And those who oppose us, those who work for secret societies, who have sold their nations out for a pound of flesh, are traitors. Not only traitors of their people and nations, but of humanity as a whole.
Now, the subject of this Press Conference is Bilderberg: Towards One World Company Ltd.
About six and a half centuries ago, the economy of Europe had collapsed into what is known as Europe´s "New Dark Age," the greatest economic and demographic collapse of Europe since the collapse of the Roman Empire. Then, in the middle of the 14C, much of the power of the oligarchy abruptly disintegrated. This disintegration erupted as the sudden, chain-reaction collapse of the worst financial bubble of debt speculation in history, until now, that is, when the banking houses of Bardi and Peruzzi went under. This disintegration and collapse of the Lombard debt bubble caused a collapse in the power among the oligarchical families.
What does it have to do with Bilderberg?
Modern history superseded medieval history at that moment that the institutions which singularly distinguish modern from medieval history were put into place. That occurred back in 1439 at the Council of Florence. What were those new institutions?
1) The conception of the modern nation state republics under the government of natural law.
2) The central role of the fostering of scientific and technological progress as the mandate given to the republic.
These two ideals represent a crucial argument: their existence as institution, in any part of Europe, changed everything in all of Europe because these institutional changes increased the rate of development of per-capita and per-square kilometre of mankind over nature. So, no nation could afford not to progress, not to develop for the fear of being left hopelessly behind.
The first success occurred under France´s Louis XI, who doubled the per-capita income of France, and defeated all of France´s enemies. Louis XI success sparked a chain reaction of efforts to establish a nation-state on this model in Henry VII´s England and elsewhere.
Another key idea to come out of Council of Florence which was later implemented in the United States is a universal principle of GENERAL WELFARE, on which all modern civilised society is based.
Now, welfare does not mean a useless bum sitting on the couch, eating a pizza, slobbering all over himself, watching television, while he is waiting for an unemployment check to arrive.
It is a question of immortality. What´s the intention of the existence of man, and government? It´s to provide for the welfare, of future generations of mankind. To assure our survival as the species. The principle of the General Welfare, as expressed in summation in the preamble of the Federal Constitution of the United States, is the fundamental law.
So, how is it related to today? These people want an Empire. That´s what globalization is. And too many people believe that in order to have an Empire, you need money. You have all heard of the phrase – THE MONEY ELITE. But money, is not a determinant of wealth and the economy. Money does not make the world go around. Money has no intrinsic value.
Human mind affects the development of the planet. This is how mankind is measured. This is the true meaning of IMMORTALITY. What separates us from animals is our ability to discover universal physical principles. It allows us to innovate, which subsequently improves the lives of people by increasing the power of man over nature.
You see, they are destroying the world economy on purpose. This isn´t the first time either. This was done in the 14th century New Dark Age: 30% of the population wiped out.
Empire=dumb people down. They want to destroy the creative powers of reason.
0 growth, 0 progress. Club of Rome (Limits to Growth) 1973
PROJECT 1980S CFR, promoting controlled disintegration of the world economy.
BILDERBERG 1995. Demand destruction. How? By destroying the world economy on purpose.
GREAT DEPRESSION – TRANSFER OF WEALTH. The Great Depression was not an event that wiped out U.S. capitalists. It was an event that made the rich even richer by transferring the wealth of the people into the hands of the already wealthy. That´s how Bank of America made their billions through real estate foreclosures from 1929-37. Don't believe for a minute that the richest of the rich will be hurt by the coming collapse. The only ones hurt will be you and me.
Look at Greece. What they are trying to do is blow up the system by, instead of allowing Greece to reorganise its money system, they are imposing that Greece be used, that the Greek debt be bailed out by Europe. But, that debt is worthless. It´s garbage, it´s monopoly money. So, asking Europe, which is going through its own financial meltdown, to absorb an unpayable debt, which the Greeks, by the way, can NEVER repay, means you are going to FOR SURE, destroy Europe. And, it is being done on purpose, because nobody, not even Barroso, who with all due respect to him is absolutly intellectually challenged or Trichet are that stupid.
Let´s get rid of the bureaucracy in Brussels. Let´s fire them all. They are bums. They are useless. These people have never done anything useful in their lives. Get rid of Barroso. He failed history in high school. Get rid of the "wet rag," Van Rumpey not because he is useless but because he is evil and very dangerous. It´s not the first time that an unloved, short, evil little man has gnawed his way into the bowels of power.
You see, it is a question of leadership and a question of immortality. All of the leaders of society, especially in times of crisis, are leaders because they measure up to some approximation of that standard. People such as Barroso, Van Rumpey, EU President Jean Claude Juncker, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the managing director of the IMF can hardly be considered leaders. In fact, they can hardly be considered humans, from the perspective of human representing A GREATER GOOD OF HUMANITY.
Now, what I am talking about is not a scientific problem or economic question, but rather a morality question. A question of immortality. Do we as nation states, as people of the Planet believe in the future of mankind? And what kind of future will we have 100 or 200 years in the future. What about 10,000 years from now? Do we have a right to dream? If we have a sense of purpose for being here, then the bad guys can´t win.
For example, we have been told that euro must be saved. That euro´s failure will bring down the European Union. That´s a lie. Instead of a weak, dysfunctional European monetary union, we go back to being independent nation state republics – Europe of the Fatherlands.
Cultural diversity is not only humanity's hallmark of progress, but an insurance policy against extinction as a species. Once born, a nation state concept never dies; it only waits for courageous and sane human beings to come to its defence, to perfect the concept. So therefore, we should be a fraternity of nations, of sovereign nations—united by a common purpose for humanity. Until we can bring mankind into the Age of Reason, history will be shaped in actuality, not by the wills of masses of humanity, but by the mere handfuls who, for purposes of good or evil, steer the fate of mankind generally as herds of cows are steered to and from the pasture—and, occasionally, also to the slaughter-house.

"On the initiative of Mario Borghezio, Italian Member of the European Parliament (Lega Nord, Europe of Freedom and Democracy Group)"
Borghezio ( the moderator in this table ) is a social agitator, everybody here in Italy knows his fascist and racist speeches against muslim immigrants, negros and so on. He work for the LEga Nord, which is a CIA sponsored party aimed to divide the italian public against each other and to weak the national sovereignty on multiple issues.
He is one of THEM ! I suggest you all to do not trust about his noble intentions in this iniatitive.

The title says it all. I have tons of FLACs and every one of them has a copy in MP3 encoded in LAME 3.98.4 and some are in 3.99.3. 3.99.5 is the new latest version now, should this mean I have to re-encode those FLACs to 3.99.5? I would gladly want to hear opinions of others.

Furthermore, the use of a higher bitrate setting may allow you to not have to re-encode with every new release. For example, I have a few 256kbps-320kbps FhG mp3 files from back in the day that sill produce transparent results for me. They are 8 years old now but I have absolutely no reason to re-encode the source material again (I can't find the CDs anyway) because they are still transparent. Don't take that to mean that encoding at such high settings will automatically allow you to just scuff things off or that the high bitrate settings produce better results. I also have a bunch of older (5 years) 160kbps VBR AAC files encoded with iTunes that I am not going to bother replacing despite Apple releasing a few updates to their AAC encoder between then and now. I will encode new material with the updated encoder but I don't see a point in going back when what I have is already transparent to me.

Terps ready to move on from FSU loss and take on Virginia
By Don Markus and The Baltimore Sun
October 11, 2013
COLLEGE PARK - After the program's most one-sided defeat in 20 years, the Maryland football team will try to show it has a short memory when the Terps play Virginia on Saturday at Byrd Stadium. Coming off a 63-0 demolition at Florida State that cost Maryland (4-1, 0-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) its chances of an unbeaten season, its spot in the Top 25 and likely senior quarterback C.J. Brown for at least one game, the Terps return home to face the Cavaliers, who are trying to exorcise their own recent demons.
No. 7 Spalding field hockey OK with 'nerve wracking,' 1-0 win over No. 5 McDonogh
By Tom Worgo, Baltimore Sun Media Group
October 9, 2013
After several early season blowouts, the Cavaliers, showed they know how to win a close one when freshman forward Alexis Phillips scored with 2:50 remaining in the first half. Like any other coach, Archbishop Spalding's Leslee Brady is OK with a lopsided victory. Brady has grown accustomed to seeing the Cavaliers win in such a manner this season, considering they were outscoring opponents, 60-11, entering Wednesday's Interscholastic Athletic Association of Maryland A Conference game against visiting McDonogh.
Varsity Q&A with Archbishop Spalding quarterback Zach Abey
By Katherine Dunn, The Baltimore Sun
October 2, 2013
Ask those who know Archbishop Spalding quarterback Zach Abey for one adjective to describe him and "tough" will be the most common response. A talented, durable two-way football player, Abey is also a champion wrestler and a rugby player. At 6 feet 2, 205 pounds, he can take a pounding and keep on going. When coach Kyle Schmitt took over the Cavaliers program last summer, he said: "Everything goes through Zach. " The No. 13 Cavaliers are 4-1 overall and 1-0 in the Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association A Conference after Abey ran for three touchdowns in Friday's 21-10 win over Loyola.
Despite on-field changes, Archbishop Spalding's Kyle Schmitt won't forget the past
By Katherine Dunn, The Baltimore Sun
August 16, 2013
The purple band on Kyle Schmitt's wrist shows just how much the new Archbishop Spalding football coach respects the Cavaliers' past as he shapes their future. Schmitt, who left a strong Atholton program to take over the rising Cavaliers, has made a lot of changes on the field since Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association football practice began Aug. 5. Off the field, he's letting the players take the lead. He wants them to be as comfortable as possible with the transition from interim coach Brian Propst, who successfully carried on the program after Mike Whittles lost his 16-month battle with pancreatic cancer last summer.
Alex Len's journey from Ukraine to U.S. could culminate with him going No.1 in draft
By Don Markus, The Baltimore Sun
June 26, 2013
Alex Len was 13 years old, a gangly teenager whose body had been shooting up a startling pace from a young age. As he practiced gymnastics at a local school in the small, rural coal-mining town in Ukraine where he lived, Len was motioned over by a basketball coach walking by the room. "He told me, 'You don't belong there,'" Len recalled with a smile one afternoon last week. The coach invited him to practice with the basketball team. Having been told he was too tall for gymnastics and soccer, Len soon embarked on a journey that could reach a remarkable crossroad Thursday night, some seven years later and thousands of miles from where he lived with his mother, older sister, grandparents and an aunt.
Former Terps center Alex Len could go No. 1 to Cleveland Cavaliers
By Don Markus and The Baltimore Sun
June 18, 2013
There was some thought that Alex Len's stock could have gone up even higher had the former Maryland center been able to attend private on-court workouts for a number of NBA teams picking at or near the top of next week's NBA draft. It now appears that the 7-foot-1 Len could become the No. 1 pick by the Cleveland Cavaliers despite being sidelined since early April after undergoing surgery to repair a partial stress fracture in his left ankle. At least one mock draft has Len going ahead of former Kentucky center Nerlens Noel.
Varsity roundup: Cavaliers girls top Sailors in sudden death in girls lacrosse
From Sun staff reports
May 3, 2013
Alex Puller scored her game-high fifth goal and the game-winner with a minute left in sudden-death overtime as No. 14 Archbishop Spalding beat No. 13 Mount de Sales, 12-11, in an Interscholastic Athletic Association of Maryland A Conference tournament first-round game Thursday. The Sailors (8-8) took a 4-0 lead in the first half and the Cavaliers (12-7) battled back to tie the score at 5 at halftime. Mount de Sales went up by four goals again in the second half and Spalding tied the game again to force overtime.
Varsity roundup: Dons beat Cavaliers in lacrosse, 12-2
From Sun staff reports
April 28, 2013
The No. 8 Loyola boys lacrosse team used a balanced offense - four Dons scored twice - to beat No. 9 Archbishop Spalding, 12-2, on Saturday. Loyola (10-5, 3-3 Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association A Conference) led 5-1 at halftime and went on a 4-0 run in the third quarter to put the game out of reach. The visiting Cavaliers fell to 10-8, 0-6. Kevin Jackson, Tyler Llewellyn, Devin McNamara and Tim Nordbrook each scored twice for Loyola. The Dons will next have to fight two top teams on the road, No. 5 Gilman on Tuesday and No. 1 Boys' Latin on Friday, and finish at home May 7 against No. 4 Calvert Hall.
Terps aim to match Virginia's emotional level in ACC tournament
By Edward Lee, The Baltimore Sun
April 24, 2013
At 6-7, Virginia's only hope for avoiding its first absence from the NCAA tournament since 2004 is upsetting No. 4 Maryland this Friday and then disposing of either No. 1 Duke or No. 2 North Carolina on Sunday to capture the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament. The Cavaliers figure to be downright ornery as they fight for their postseason lives, and coach John Tillman acknowledged that he is worried about the Terps (9-2) matching their opponent's intensity at Kenan Stadium in Chapel Hill, N.C. "That's certainly a concern," he said during his weekly conference call Tuesday.
No. 5 Terps men bounce back with 9-7 win over No. 13 Virginia
By Mike Preston, The Baltimore Sun
March 30, 2013
Maryland rediscovered itself Saturday, and Virginia is still searching. Terps attackman Jay Carlson scored three goals, and the No. 5 Maryland men's lacrosse team - behind a dominating midfield that scored five times - held on for a 9-7 victory over No. 13 Virginia in front of an announced crowd of 5,226 at Klockner Stadium. The Terps (7-1), who suffered a 10-8 upset loss to North Carolina on March 23, showed no side effects of that loss. Besides Carlson's three goals, offensive midfielders John Haus added two and Mike Chanenchuk had one. But the surprise of the day was long-pole midfielder Jesse Bernhardt's two goals, which showed how the Terps controlled the pace of the game and how quickly goalkeeper Niko Amato got the ball out on clears.

"The Tour of the Gila has always had a special place in our heart. We love the hard work the community puts into the event. 2013 is an important one for us after winning the overall in 2012. We have a strong team for it with Lucas Euser, Marc de Maar and Phil Deignan. All of our riders will be firing on all cylinders in that time frame with the Amgen Tour of California coming right after Gila." said UnitedHealthcare General Manager and Team Director Mike Tamayo.
The hard racing at altitude during the five days of New Mexico's premier road cycling race is a perfect final tune-up before the Tour of California for many of the American-based Pro Continental and Continental teams. For others, the event is a chance to grab the spotlight and make a name for themselves.
The goal for the Bontrager Cycling Team is to do both - again. The Under-23 squad won the Best Young Rider overall classification, Best Team classification and finished in the top 3 overall the past two years.
Team Director Axel Merckx said, "We are really looking forward going to the Tour of the Gila that always has provided with a great organization and also great results for us in the past."
They'll both have to contend with 2011 overall winner Francisco "Paco" Mancebo, 5-hour ENERGY presented by Kenda Racing Team, who said, "I really enjoy the Tour de Gila and its mountains. The terrain is much like where I live in Spain, the climbs suit me well. My preparation this year with the 5-hour Energy presented by Kenda team will be better than last year since the Tour de Gila along with Tour of California will be my principle objectives for the year. I hope to do as well as I did in 2011."

All things Mother Earth Living
by Robyn Griggs Lawrence, Editor at Large
Valentine's Day, child labor, chocolate, Green America, Fair Trade
Valentine's Day is around the corner. Have you checked your chocolate?
Green America is urging consumers to send Hershey a Valentine, letting the nation's largest chocolate company know that we won't buy chocolate that hasn't been certified as free from the worst forms of abusive child labor. Unlike most leading global chocolate makers, Hershey refuses to take steps to curb such abuses in its supply chain.
Green America and its allies in the Raise the Bar, Hershey! campaign - Global Exchange, International Labor Rights Forum, and Oasis USA - are encouraging Americans to either make their own card urging the company to end child labor, or to get a convenient online template. Cards should be sent to: David West, CEO; The Hershey Company; 100 Crystal A Drive; Hershey, PA 17003.
'No holiday that is dedicated to love should be commemorated by people sending each other products that are connected to the cruelty and depravity of some of the worst child labor abuses taking place anywhere on the globe today," Elizabeth O'Connell, Fair Trade coordinator for Green America, said. "With more than 50 million pounds of chocolate sold in the U.S. for Valentine's Day alone, Green America is working to raise awareness of the abysmal labor practices that Hershey relies on. Fair Trade chocolate is widely available and represents a fair and more humane choice for consumers. We hope that young and old concerned Americans will take this opportunity to speak from the heart and send Hershey's a Valentine that can make a real difference.'
Raise the Bar, Hershey! campaign partners are also encouraging consumers to host local screenings of the film 'The Dark Side of Chocolate.' To get involved, go to www.greenamerica.org/programs/fairtrade/MovieScreening.cfm. A full action kit - including a DVD copy of the movie for local screenings - is available from the nonprofit organization for $6.
Learn more about how to get child labor abuses out of your chocolate at www.greenamerica.org/programs/fairtrade/whatyoucando/2010Scorecard.cfm. Then treat your sweetie to chocolate you can feel good about. Here are three of my favorites:
Alter Eco Fair Trade Chocolate

Former Warren County Attorney Mike Caudill faced a federal judge for the first time Wednesday morning.
Caudill pleaded guilty last month in state court to using public funds for his private business.
Wednesday, Caudill walked into federal court to face similar charges that he took $15,000 from federal funds meant for prosecuting child support cases.
Caudill entered a "not guilty" plea but is expected to accept a plea agreement similar to the one he took in circuit court where he will pay the county back for $56,000 he admits to misusing and will serve a year in jail.
Under the proposed federal plea agreement, Caudill will pay back the $15,000 and accept whatever sentence a judge decides.
Caudill is awaiting open heart surgery at Jewish hospital in Louisville, and his health is expected to potentially delay his sentencing and the start of his prison term.

Yashica FX-103 with Yashica ML 50 1.9 c lens - free for a donation to APUG. You don't owe me anything. I'll cover shipping (US only). You decide how much you want to donate. I don't need to know.
I got this body along with a lens I wanted and the lens along with another body, so they are just extra parts I don't need.
I believe everything is working and usable as-is, but far from perfect.
The shutter fires, the film advances. The meter works, but batteries will not be included. The glass is clear. The diaphragm looks fine.
The outer surface of the leather is peeling off (like most Yashica and Contax cameras of this vintage). The light seals and mirror bumper should probably be replaced, but I think are OK for now. The "c" version of this lens has a plastic lens mount and the notch in the flange that locks is worn, so it doesn't lock securely, but it's not going to fall off.

The first diving watch from Chaumet, Class One was the start of a velvet revolution in 1998, combining steel, diamonds and rubber for the first time. The watch owes its name to the powerful monohull powerboat, designed in the 1990s to skim the waves at the most prestigious single-handed races, such as Vendée Globe and Route du Rhum.
A creative, contemporary spirit infuses this sport chic line.
Class One is a modern, innovative watch, available in trendy bright colours – violet, red, blue – or as a timeless classic in black & white.

Anti-Putin protest refused permissionComment on this story
Moscow - Russia refused on Thursday to register a demonstration against President Vladimir Putin planned for Saturday and said some earlier protests were orchestrated by Georgia.
State TV channel Rossiya 24 aired what it said were recordings of talks between Georgian politician Givi Targamadze and Russian opposition activists that the federal Investigative Committee said proved Targamadze was involved in past protests.
"This material contains evidence confirming not only the financing of the Russian opposition by Givi Targamadze but also his clear role in the organisation of mass riots," said Vladimir Markin, spokesman for the committee that answers only to Putin.
Russia often accuses the opposition of taking help from abroad and activists say the latest allegations are part of a crackdown against criticism of Putin, who started his third presidential term in May.
Prominent leftist leader Sergei Udaltsov said Moscow city authorities had refused to register Saturday's planned protest in the capital, increasing the risk of arrests and confrontation with police if opposition activists show up in large numbers.
He said he would still come to a square in Moscow "as a free Russian citizen" on Saturday, a day after he was summoned to the Investigative Committee to testify further over allegations of plotting riots.
Udaltsov and two others have been charge in the case.
Udaltsov was ordered to remain in Moscow pending further investigation, but two lesser-known activists are under arrest with one of them, Leonid Razvozzhayev, saying he was abducted and tortured to confess.
Razvozzhayev has subsequently retracted his confession.
Putin faced the largest wave of protests against his 13-year rule before his return to the Kremlin, but the opposition has lost momentum since then and so far failed to pose a more systematic threat to the authorities.
Putin has insisted in the past that protesters must obey the law and said that any foreign meddling in Russia's politics is unacceptable.
Russia and Georgia severed diplomatic relations over a brief war in August 2008 that left Moscow recognising two breakaway regions, South Ossetia and Abkhazia, as independent from Georgia.
Georgia's new Prime Minister Bidzina Ivanishvili has said, however, that he wants to improve relations with Moscow and the first bilateral talks since the war are expected soon. - Reuters

Michael SambolThe context of Osamu Tezuka being against the war and acknowledging Japan's indoctrination under militaristic nationalism is a given and is true exemplified in many of his works. But, Prof. Tanaka, you description of the meaning behind Tezuka's Adolf (アドルフに告ぐ) is horribly off and it is obvious that your statements are of a irrelevant political point. In your article, from what I have read, you make the claim that Tezuka's Adolf's primary message about the subject of war is to criticize Israel and draw comparison to Nazi Germany. The scene of Israel and Palestine in this 5 book series only seen in the very last chapter in the last book. Furthermore, Tezuka shows no image what so ever of Adolf Kamil becoming, "a brutal oppressor of Palestinians" In that last chapter, before Adolf Kaufman's new Palestinian wife and child are killed by the Israeli bombardment, the wife even remarks about Palestinians responsibility to teach their children to hate and kill the Jews, mimicking the rhetoric used in Nazi Germany. The Israeli-Palestianian conflict represented in this book is an extremely tiny section in this long five book series and Osamu Tezuka when addressing it is still impartial to both sides. Osamu Tezuka does indeed depict some of the horrors of war and the ease of people to sway to commit such cruel acts under influence of ideology. But to say that this series is Osamu Tezuka's response to the Israeli-Paliestinian conflict and to even say he is subjective to the Palestinian side is not only false but it is also irresponsible and disrespectful to the late. I hope you understand, reread this great manga series, and reconsider your evaluation about this one small part about your article.
Yayoi Koizumi"Contrary to Mr. Sambol, I agree with Tanaka's reading of Palestinian-Israeli conflicts at the end of Adolf. The scene was placed at the very end to highlight one of the ultimate ironies of history. I'm not sure if Tanaka took sides in his reading of Adolf in this piece. I wondered, however, why Professor Tanaka makes no mention of the fact that Tezuka Osamu was a supporter of Japan Communist Party. I feel his leftwing politics is an important piece of biographical information. To a much lesser extent, Miyazaki Hayao also was sympathetic towarad the leftist movement - at least until the spectacular collapse of the Communist bloc in the late 80's (or a little earlier). Nonetheless, the red pig in Porco Rosso is hard to ignore - as an expression of, again, irony."

SUWANEE - The Rockdale volleyball got its stay at the Collins Hill Classic off to a fine start Thursday. The Bulldogs defeated Loganville 2-0 and Parkview 2-1 in its first two matches of the three-day tournament, while the Bulldogs' final match of the day against host Collins Hill ended too late for this edition.
Leading 1-0 against Class AAAAA Loganville, a former area foe now in a different classification than the Class AAAAAA Bulldogs, Rockdale led just 9-6 after a service error by Abby Bradford. The Bulldogs took over from there as an 8-0 run, helped by three aces from Alycia Johnson, gave the Conyers school a 17-6 cushion.
Loganville scored four quick points, the last of which came on Emma Strong's serve that grazed off the foot of Rockdale's Jasmine Edwards and made it a 17-10 game.
Rockdale reasserted itself, thanks to a pair of assists and kill from Natheree Lackey, and the Bulldogs took a 22-10 lead.
A pair of aces by Sarah Hoeting and a kill from Erika Godfree helped the Red Devils get to within 23-14, but University of Georgia commitment Majesti Bass completed a strong match with two of nine kills - all of which were booming, un-playable spikes - and Rockdale closed out the 25-14 match-clinching win.
In a 25-22 game one victory, Rockdale trailed early 8-2 before the Bulldogs' superior serving took over. Bradford had two aces and three kills while serving and later, Johnson added two aces to help give the Bulldogs the lead for good at 11-10.
Loganville got as close as two points at 20-18 on a Rockdale error.
Rockdale defeated Parkview 2-1 in the opening match of the tournament Thursday afternoon.
In a deciding game three, the Bulldogs never trailed and jumped out to a 7-1 lead on the strengths of two kills by Bradford and a kill and ace from Bass.
Parkview got as close as 7-2 on a Rockdale error, but the Bulldogs weren't threatened the rest of the way, getting another kill and ace from Bradford and a kill each out of Jahkishma Soto and Nazzerine Waldon to close out a 15-4 win. Normally, deciding games on weekdays are to 25, but since the tournament at Collins Hill runs through the weekend, all game threes are to 15.
"Honestly, they knew that the game was almost over and they turned it up a notch," said Rockdale coach Stephen Sansing. "I thought originally it was 25. When they heard (15), it was like, OK, all we got to get is 15, OK, let's get it quick."
Parkview forced a deciding game with a 25-21 victory in game two. Rockdale led 14-11 on a kill by Bradford, but the Gwinnett County school scored 10 of the next 12 points to go up 21-16. Lackey picked up two of her five game assists on kills by Bass and Bradford as Rockdale hung around at 22-20, but a kill from Rachel Rust clinched the four-point triumph.
"That second game was definitely not our best, but we still had a chance to win," said Sansing. "That third game was a little bit more of us putting points together."
Game one was just as tight. Parkview ran out to a 6-1 lead before Rockdale took over with the serve. Lackey had four aces - and assisted on one of two Bradford kills - during a 9-1 spurt that put the Conyers school up 10-7.
It was Johnson's serve that helped Rockdale maintain its three-point cushion at 14-11 as Johnson had two aces (and added an assist on a kill by Soto).
"Our serve has been real strong the last week or two, we've really been working on serving aggressively," Sansing said of his team, which tied a single-match high with 20 aces earlier in the week against Shiloh. "Even if we don't get the aces it just takes the other team out of their system."
Parkview regained the lead at 17-16 on an error by Bass, but never led again. Waldon and Bradford had two kills each, while Bass had her only three kills of the game down the stretch, including a booming kill off a feed from Lackey that secured a 25-23 win.
Rockdale will continue pool play Saturday against Tucker at 8:00 a.m. at Collins Hill. After the 9:00 a.m. matches, the teams will be seeded into gold and silver groups for single-elimination bracket play.

The Toronto Blue Jays will be happy if they never have the see the Florida Marlins ever again.
After a three game sweep at the hands of the Fish, the Jays are still winless in interleague play this season with an 0-6 record against National League teams. Now the Blue Jays have an uphill battle as they head to Philadelphia to face the defending World Champions. Just in case you thought things couldn't get any worse, there are still twelve more interleague games to play this month.
I think I can conclusively say that series against the Marlins was the worst of the year. The Blue Jays were outscored 24-11, giving up the most runs in a three game series all year. You can also take into account that Toronto's starting pitchers didn't even make it past the fourth inning in all three games. Add in Halladay's injury and it was just an all around bad weekend for the Blue Jays and fans alike.
I know I mentioned this a few days ago, but Vernon Wells needs to really get his act together. It's been 137 at bats since his last home run and 17 at bats since his last hit. Vernon made great contact on a couple of pitches yesterday but had nothing to show for it and was left off the hit chart once again. It's almost one month away from the All-Star break and while most of the Blue Jays have settled in, Vernon Wells continues to struggle. The great news is that he has 5 years remaining in his contract to figure it all out so we'll all be anxiously anticipating Wells to snap out if it just in time for another contract year.

I think that would be an appropriate punishment!ReplyDelete
BTW, do you think I should start working on some more "Levels of Hatred" for the VWHAS? It's almost about to blow its top!
I want to believe that Vernon's going to make sure it doesn't go any higher than severe. Although, admittedly, I'm having my doubts.ReplyDelete

Police identified Frederick J. Filtz as the 51-year old Stevens Point man who drowned Friday afternoon in the Wisconsin River by Bukolt Park.
