The Current Crisis
The Liars' Club
From Stephen Glass to Sidney Blumenthal.
Washington -- The New York Times' sudden revelation that for many months it has endured the presence of a plagiarist and a fabulist on its staff will now inaugurate a long and tedious period of soul searching in the media. I say tedious because the spectacle is so patently artificial. The standards of truth in American media are so very plastic.
Just five years ago one Stephen Glass was exposed for having fabricated dozens of stories that he had published in the New Republic as factual. He was fired, but he has been rewarded with the cheap celebrity that the media hold out to rogues. A movie of his life has been produced. It will appear this fall. After the scandal at the New Republic he proceeded to law school and has written a novel. The country is filled with novelists much more gifted than Glass who will never see their novels published, but Glass's has just come out, and it has the media abuzz. "60 Minutes" gave him a nice interview.
One wonders when the media culture will transform the Times' plagiarist into a celebrity complete with movies about his life and a publishing contract -- and let's send him to the Harvard Law School. The underlying fact of today's media culture is that standards of truth hardly exist. Or better I should say that the standards of truth have all sorts of dispensations for special cases. Deceiving the public often carries with it no penalty whatsoever, not even much criticism.
The next publishing event of the hour, after the arrival of Glass's novel, is the publication of Sidney Blumenthal's 800-page White House insider's account, The Clinton Wars. Blumenthal is the former journalist who joined the Clinton Administration to assist it in overcoming the Clinton scandals. In doing so he lied to the press, planted false stories in the press, and tried to suppress stories unfavorable to his boss in the press.
He is by almost any definition a scoundrel. After testifying during the Starr investigation in closed session before a grand jury, he stepped before the media's cameras and microphones to tell the world that Kenneth Starr's prosecutors had asked him questions of a shocking and inappropriate nature. Subsequently published transcripts showed he had lied. The prosecutors had asked him none of the shocking questions he claimed. He then deceived New York Times columnist Anthony Lewis into writing that prosecutors had actually asked Blumenthal such embarrassing questions as "Does the President's religion include sexual intercourse?" Four months later the grand jury transcripts were made public and showed that Lewis had published lies.
Next on the list of Blumenthal's First Amendment atrocities he sued Matt Drudge for erroneously claiming in the Drudge Report that Blumenthal was a wife beater. Drudge had already apologized, but Blumenthal proceeded with his suit anyway. It was "a part," Michael Ledeen explained in a brilliant explication of Blumenthal's thuggery, "of the Clinton campaign to intimidate administration critics by any and all means. It goes under the name of politics of personal destruction."
Now Blumenthal's book, you can be sure, will be full of lies and related deceptions. I have read some of it on the Web and can tell you that it reads like the kind of thing Baghdad Bob might write. Baghdad Bob had to cover for the misbehavior of his boss Saddam Hussein, and Blumenthal has to cover for the Clintons, but one might wonder why?
The Clintons are recognized liars. Most of the Clinton scandals Bill Clinton brought on himself. He committed the misbehavior and then he lied about it. No one made him lie before grand juries. But then no one made Blumenthal lie in public about his grand jury appearances. Lying is a way of life with these people. Lying was a way of life with Glass and the plagiarist at the New York Times. There appears not to be much shame attached to lying in the Great Republic. It is a minor transgression, on the order of bearing false witness against one's neighbor -- another of Blumenthal's transgressions.

COLLEGE STATION - The company behind Pappasito's, Pappa's BBQ, and Pappadeux is bringing one of their popular restaurants to College Station.
The restaurant will be located at the corner of University Dr. and Glenhaven Dr., across from Fish Daddy's.
The College Station City Council unanimously approved a measure Monday to rezone the property where the Scott and White Clinic currently stands to become a commercial property for a new Pappas restaurant.
"We have gotten some preliminary building elevations showing the exterior façade of a Pappadeaux," said Morgan Hester withCollege Station Planning and Development. "But I mean, of course there's a lot of excitement from everyone around town and people who just come into town to visit are excited about it."
The city has not received site plans yet, so they don't know if the company will be using the current structure or rebuilding for the restaurant. There's also no word on when the restaurant will open.

Viewers with disabilities can get assistance accessing this station's FCC Public Inspection File by contacting the station with the information listed below. Questions or concerns relating to the accessibility of the FCC's online public file system should be directed to the FCC at 888-225-5322, 888-835-5322 (TTY), or email@example.com.

Dragon's Den contest gives students a cash start
A Calgary high school student is $5,000 richer, thanks to a prize from Dragon's Den.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
It took just 16 months of working at a Tim Hortons for Calgary high school student Rami Ghanem to come up with an award-winning idea for efficiency.
Thanks to a $5,000 cheque from Dragon's Den heavyweight Kevin O'Leary, Ghanem's idea for a modern method of employee check-in may soon appear in fast food franchises everywhere.
The 16-year-old was officially announced Tuesday as the first of 10 winners in the Future Dragon Fund Contest, a search for student entrepreneurs by O'Leary and the popular reality show on CBC.
"I was going to scream and shout, but I had to calm down because I was on my way to bio class," Ghanem says, reflecting on the moment he got the news last week.
The teenager's video entry was among hundreds received by the show after the contest was announced last month.
"Everyone working on this project has been stunned by how articulate the presenters are," O'Leary says, in an e-mail. "Kids are learning from Dragon's Den how and how not to present their ideas."
That is certainly the case for Ghanem. "I watch the show every Wednesday," he says. "I'm a fan of the Facebook and Twitter pages."
When he first got the part-time job at Tim Hortons in late 2011, Ghanem noticed a bulky machine at the back. At first, he didn't know what it was for. He soon discovered it was where employees punched in for their shifts. They found their name on a list, entered a PIN, then had to confirm twice they want to clock in.
"It came to me that there needs to be something better, faster and more responsive to just clock in and out of work," he says.
He discovered the same method is used at most fast food establishments. "I wanted to make something like an iPad app that would allow employees to clock in and out using facial and voice recognition."
If he can make his vision a reality, employees will stand in front of the screen that will automatically pull up their profile.
"The $5000 from Kevin will allow me to jumpstart it into developing the app," he says.
O'Leary says it was difficult to choose winners, but the exercise makes him optimistic for the future. "These are the kids that are going to be tomorrow's business leaders," he says.
The grade 11 student at Lester B Pearson High School, who lives with his parents and younger brother and sister, is in an advanced baccalaureate program. He is also a second-year volunteer with the education ministry, attending provincial events to represent the student voice. Last summer the role took him to Beijing, China, where he helped solidify exchange student programs.
And in his spare time? "I do some coding on my computer, graphic design, film editing," he says. "They're just hobbies on the side."
The prize money comes from sales of an exhibit called Kevin O'Leary 40 Years of Photography. The 25 images are currently displayed at One Canadian Place until Nov 15.
One winner will be announced online each week there's a new show. Applications are still being accepted.
O'Leary hopes unsuccessful candidates are not too disappointed. "What is most important is that they make the most of the opportunity," he says. "Failure is part of the entrepreneurial experience and the experience gained makes them better on the second try."

Judging from the comments left on various articles, a lot of you have yet to bite into the juicy GTX 680 apple. Some of you flat-out can't find one available; others have been waiting for 4GB models to start rolling out. Good news for the latter camp: today, both Palit and Gainward announced the launch of new GTX 680s with 4GB of DRAM onboard. (You still probably won't be able to find them that easily, though!)
The new Palit GeForce GTX680 JetStream 4GB comes with a triple fan design, 6-phase PWM and DrMOS technology. Even though the JetStream 2GB came with a decent core/mem overclock and the JetStream 4GB sticks to reference speeds, Palit says the memory boost helps the 4GB model to outperform its linemate by up to 12 percent in Far Cry 2.
Gainward GeForce GTX 680 Phantom 4GB
sticks to stock clock speeds, too, unlike the overclocked
2GB GTX 680 Phantom
. This card's claim to fame -- aside from the 4GB of DRAM, of course -- is Gainward's proprietary dual-fan "Phantom II" cooler, which the company says is "the most silent air-cooled board in the market you can find."
Like the Palit JetStream 4GB, the Gainward GTX 680 Phantom 4GB rocks a 6-phase PWM with DrMOS tech and comes with an overclocking utility for those looking to boost those boring reference speeds.The similarities likely aren't a coincidence, as Palit owns Gainward.
Pricing? Availability? Neither company spit out details, although we're guessing these 4GB GTX 680s will cost a lot of dough and be hard to find.

Asia Society's Suzanne DiMaggio analyzes the meeting between Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Burma/Myanmar democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi.
Asia Society's Suzanne DiMaggio appeared on public radio's The Takeaway to discuss the first high-level visit by an American diplomat to Burma in decades and what it means for political reform and relations with China.
Today marks a historic day in Burma/Myanmar but the country's leadership must be prepared to make structural changes.
As Burmese democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi prepares to tour her country despite warnings from the hard-line government, a new confrontation may be brewing, says Asia Society Consultant Priscilla Clapp.
Priscilla Clapp, Asia Society Consultant and former Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy in Burma, shares her thoughts on Suu Kyi's announcement and the prospects for real political change with the military junta still in power.
Two days after regaining freedom from house arrest, Aung San Suu Kyi, the charismatic leader of Burma/Myanmar's opposition, lost no time jumping back into politics. Her 15-year detention kept her on the political sidelines for the country's recent elections, but Suu Kyi addressed her supporters in defiant terms just minutes after her release.
But what does her release mean? Asia Society experts weigh in on what's next for the pro-democracy icon.
After spending most of this decade and much of the 1990s locked up, Aung San Suu Kyi has been released from house arrest.

Eagle Eye you must have voted for Victor Hill too. How can you vote for this 22 year old child who was arrested during the middle of his campaign over something he could have taken care of months ago, accused of stealing money from a Clayton County PTA and lied about his occupation. Claims to be a student at Morehouse but they dont have a record of him since 2009. He is just like that other controversial school board member and simply wants to use the board as a platform for attention and drama. Contrary to your belief, this has nothing to do with 'county government trying to hurt our youth.' Our youth need to shape up and realize that lying and shady behavior is not the way you get ahead in life.

The instability that led to the War of Five Kings was caused by three things:
1) The plots of Varys, a loyalist of House Targaryen.
2) The plots of Petyr Baelish, whose motives are somewhat unclear, beyond personal advancement.
3) Cersei and Jaime's secret relationship (which both 1 and 2 exploit).
Joffrey's succession only caused a problem because he was not, in fact, the rightful heir to the throne. Without that, neither Ned nor Stannis would have opposed his taking the throne, it's rather hard to imagine that Renly would have fancied his odds, and Balon Greyjoy's insurrection would almost certainly not have happened (or else, been easily put down like the previous one) in light of the unity of the realm.
When you think about it that way, Cersei (and Jaime) completely screwed over their House's long-term prospects.
Tyrion thinks that too, in Clash of Kings I believe. All Cersei had to do was have one child by Robert and her family would have had an undisputed claim on the Iron Throne.

Re: Typhon Pact: Rough Beasts Of Empire review thread
I am uncertain that without Spock, the Reunification movement will go much farther than it will go in those years. Then again, I do not think the Typhoon pact will last that long.
This may be an unpopular sentiment, bu I think that without the influence of the Prophets, Sisko would have been an unexceptional individual.

I would like to have a machine that has needle options (up/down, right/left, pressure foot up/needle up, etc) but really don't care too much about decorator stitches. I love piecing and garment construction (not jeans). Is Elna still reputable? Can't find much about them online. Thanks for offering this great venue by PatternReview.com
Janome makes Elnas now, Necchis too. One of the top brands, IMO.
------🌸 Plenty of machines, mostly Berninas 🌸
My last sewing only machine purchase was the Elna 7200 and it is a super machine. Not as quiet as my Babylock Combo (sewing as well as machine embroidery).
In addition to having various presser foot positions and up/down options, my particular model also has a pressure adjustment for the presser foot, which is helpful if you sew sheer fabrics.

By Erik Wasson - 03/08/11 08:17 PM EST
Sensing division, Senate Democrats declared Tuesday that they will force Republicans to vote on the House GOP's bill to cut $57 billion in spending.
Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said he would bring a cloture vote late Tuesday evening, and perhaps as late as 1 a.m. Wednesday, on a motion to debate the House spending bill.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said there would be a vote on the competing proposal from Democrats in the next day or so, but it was clear Tuesday that Republicans were still scrambling to get all GOP senators to vote for the House bill.
Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) claimed the Senate GOP is wavering because centrist party members do not want to vote for the deep cuts in the House bill.
Durbin said the Senate GOP is avoiding the vote "because it is a painful vote for those who still cling to the belief that they are moderate Republicans. Look at the riders. I can think a half a dozen Republican senators who do not want to be on record cutting funding for Planned Parenthood."
"They may not want to be on record on some of the environmental cuts. Think of some names here. Now they're stuck: take it or leave it, HR 1. I think they want to leave it and they are embarrassed to leave it after the House has made such a show of it," he said.
Durbin said that Democrats would vote for the motion to proceed to HR 1 in order to force an up-or-down vote on it that they will then vote en bloc against.
Republican Whip Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz) ran from reporters after a party lunch on Tuesday and said that the party whip count is not finished yet so he could not say whether all Republicans are on board with the House bill.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) refused to say whether she would vote for it Tuesday, while Sen. Richard Lugar (R-Ind.) said he supports it.
Sens. Olympia Snowe (R-Me.), Susan Collins (R-Me.) and Scott Brown (R-Mass.) are also seen as possible defections.
Reid said that he believes the "vast majority" of his caucus will vote for the Democratic alternative, although some moderate members have said it does not go far enough.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) may vote against it because he thinks it cuts too much, he told reporters Tuesday.
When asked whether President Obama has been doing enough to lead during the budget fight, Reid said he has been in touch with Obama every day. He noted that the president "has a lot of other things on his plate," like the crisis in the Middle East.
Reid said that he is opposed to an additional short-term spending bill being floated by the House. He said Senate Republicans should stop wasting time by dragging out the votes on the alternative spending bills, and get on with the negotiations on a long-term spending bill.
Reid has said that the House GOP has made a Senate vote on its spending bill a pre-requisite for further spending talks.

I enjoy music and movies, going out and having fun with friends as well as the obvious opportunities to meet new people. I have a reasonably active social life that sees to it that I can pretty much always find something to do whenever I have the inclination to be in the company of others (which is quite often of late).
I like to cook, but I am no fantastic chef. I manage to follow recipes very well and I can make things on the fly. In general people have been very happy with what I have made. I love to read, I usually have more than one book going at a time. I enjoy it when my friends reccommend books that they have enjoyed to me and I can go through them incredibly fast.
Happy to talk to anyone about almost anything, though I have some fairly strong opinions on some subjects, in particular people who persecute others based solely on some preconcieved notion of who they are, formed from some kind of stereotype or prejudice. (Don't let that stop you from contacting me though!).

I'd love to get in dat ass. That black guy knows what I'm talking about.
I love those saggers! Now if she would only go away, stop singing, or completely change her musical style and image, I'd probably be able to tolerate something else about her too.
If she had a hat with the n-word on it, would it be okay for her to where it next to that guy?
Sadly, Tara probably wishes she looked this good(?)
Wait just four picks ago she had blonde hair and was in Studio City now she in NYC the same day with black hair? What kind of Voodoo magic is this? That's a new hair colour and the other side of the continent.
Dude in the hat says it all.
The dude himself, or just his hat?
In the background of every photo like this, there is a black man saying it all with his hat.
I didn't think it could get worse for Tara, until now.

President Obama sought the advice of three initial supporters of the Iraq war on the current situation in Iraq. According to a White House readout of the meeting, the president this afternoon met with Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Mitch McConnell, and John Boehner, all of whom voted to authorize the Iraq war (except Pelosi, who supported intervening recently in Syria).
"President Obama met today with Senate Majority Leader Reid, Speaker Boehner, Democratic Leader Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader McConnell to discuss the situation in Iraq," states the White House readout.
"The President provided an update on the Administration's efforts to respond to the threat from ISIL by urging Iraq's leaders to set aside sectarian agendas and to come together with a sense of national unity. He also reviewed our efforts to strengthen the capacity of Iraq's security forces to confront the threat from ISIL, including options for increased security assistance. He asked each of the leaders for their view of the current situation and pledged to continue consulting closely with Congress going forward."
Other prominent supporters of the Iraq war in the Obama administration include Vice President Joe Biden, Secretary of State John Kerry, and Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel.
Obama is scheduled to meet with Kerry later this evening.

One comment I'd make is that the backing paper and printed numbering used for Ilford 120 films is very difficult to read through the red filter of my Ikonta 531. Unfortunately the Novar lens on the camera is soft it has aslight haze and is very low contrast so unusable, some of the new optical glasses used by Zeiss and Leitz in the 1930's don't age well. Luckily I picked up a new (unused) post WWII coated Novar so will switch the cells over next time I'm in Turkey.
I've been restoring 3 pre-WWII Rollex and a Rada 6x9 backs and like all the cameras & backs with the viewing window it's important to ensure that the light seal between the back and the pressure plate is intact, older models used velvet newr foam.
As Bill's just noted the film backing paper itself is light-tight it's where the film is spooling on/off the roll where you are likely to get a problem.

A while ago, I wrote a post showing how signatures can be used to allow users to perform operations without explicitly granting them the permissions required for that operation. In this post I'll present more details about the use of signatures.
One important thing to keep in mind when working with signatures is that, normally, they will only have effect while the signed module is executed. When executing a signed module, the signatures will be temporarily added to the SQL token, but they will be lost if the module executes another one or if it terminates execution. In some situations, you may want the signatures to be persisted across multiple module calls. This is where counter signatures can be used. A counter signature is a special form of signature: by itself, it does not grant any permissions; however, it allows signatures made by the same certificate or asymmetric key to be kept for the duration of the call made to the counter signed module.
I bet this sounds rather complicated, so let's go over an example that is slightly less complicated (TSQL code is at the end of this post). Let's say we have user Alice calling procedure ProcAlice, which calls procedure ProcT, which selects from table T. Alice has EXECUTE permission on ProcAlice and ProcT, but she cannot select from T, and no ownership chaining is involved in this entire chain. So Alice cannot access T - neither directly, nor through the use of ProcAlice and ProcT. The tricky part is that we want Alice to always use ProcAlice for access - we don't want her to use ProcT. How can we accomplish this? Sure, we could sign ProcT, such that ProcT can access T, but then Alice can invoke ProcT directly - she doesn't have to call ProcAlice. We could deny EXECUTE permission on ProcT to Alice, but then Alice would not be able to call ProcT through ProcAlice either (remember that no ownership chaining is involved). Signing ProcAlice would not work by itself, because the signature would be lost in the call to ProcT. However, by counter signing ProcT with the same certificate used to sign ProcAlice, SQL Server will keep the signature across the call chain and will allow access to T; also, if Alice will attempt to call ProcT directly, she still won't be able to access T, because the counter signature doesn't grant any rights.
This is the essence of the TSQL example shown below. In the example, ProcAlice appears as proc_select_t_for_alice, and ProcT is proc_select_t. I have not tried to eliminate the ownership chaining between these two. While running through this example, I recommend examining how the state of the login and user tokens is changed by adding the signatures. Finally, do not use this example as an example for how to select passwords :)
-- A demo for counter signatures---- create test database--
-- create table t--
-- create a bogus user to own t--
-- create a certificate for signing--
-- create a principal with low privileges--
-- verify alice cannot access t--
select * from trevert
-- create a procedure that directly accesses t--
print 'Now selecting from t...'
-- verify procedure--
-- verify alice cannot access t through procedure--
-- create special procedure for accessing t-- this will call proc_select_t but will do some extra processing--
exec proc_select_tendgogrant execute on proc_select_t_for_alice to public
-- alice still can't use the procedure yet--
-- Sign procedure to grant it SELECT permission--
-- retry - it still won't work, but we'll see some nice tokens--
-- Counter sign proc_select_t, to make this work--
-- retry - now it finally works-- note that calling proc_select_t directly still doesn't work--
exec proc_select_trevert
-- cleanup--

The equivalent in medium format would be a 70mm back.
Advantages for 35mm are motor drives, fast lenses, lens options, cost of film, cost of equipment, size and handling.
Sports/action photography, travel, lower end are all areas where 35mm has the advantage.

For most big league clubs, the 81-game mark will pass this weekend, just a week before the All-Star break. As a result, in the next 10 days or so, the fantasy fan no doubt will be drenched in the Halfway-Point Analysis.
Allow me to throw out the first soaking sponge.
What follows is a look at the five most surprising and disappointing fantasy starting pitchers so far in 2009. When I say "surprising," I'm not talking about, say, Randy Wells, whom most of us had barely heard of when the Cubs decided to make him their fifth starter in May. And when I say "disappointing," I'm not talking about Brandon Webb, who was able to make exactly one start before shoulder problems shelved him. I'm talking about high-impact players who've pitched at least an inning for every game their big league club has played, in other words, ERA-title qualifiers. No injuries, no heroic underdog stories that have made a guy ownable in the same way that Jon and Kate are "interesting." Here they are:
Five shocking shockers who've shocked (least-to-most shocking)
5. Wandy Rodriguez, Astros (6-6, 3.35 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, 90 K's, 37 BBs, 96 2/3 IP): After an incredible start to 2009, Way-Rod is teetering a little. After registering a quality start in eight of his first nine outings this year, he has done it in just three of seven starts since. Still, so far he has been able to harness that strikeout-per-inning stuff with which he's teased us the past couple of years. He also has stayed healthy, which was his biggest worry entering '09.
Prognosis: I actually think it's pretty good, so long as your expectations are reasonable. I don't see any major underlying numbers that make me think Rodriguez's performance has been a fluke. If anything, though, the stats reinforce the notion that he's generally better at home than on the road. That's mostly a mental hurdle, and I still think Rodriguez can clear it if he stays healthy.
4. Johnny Cueto, Reds (7-4, 2.86 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, 70 K's, 28 BBs, 97 2/3 IP): Edinson Volquez stole his thunder last year, but Cueto had been awesome in '09 until his three most recent starts, in which he allowed five runs apiece. (To be fair, three outings ago, all five runs were unearned.) Cueto has given up a bit of his velocity in the name of better control: Although his strikeout rate is down from last year's 8.17 whiffs per nine, his walks also are down nearly one per game.
Prognosis: He was cruising along until the past couple of weeks, but those control issues have resurfaced lately. He hasn't walked a ton of hitters, but he hasn't been sharp, either, leaving pitches over the plate and getting rocked. What I like best about him, though, is this effort to reinvent himself. Losing a mile per hour off the fastball has worked. I'm buying Cueto as a top-40 guy going forward.
3. Kevin Millwood, Rangers (8-5, 2.64 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, 70 K's, 36 BBs, 112 2/3 IP): Millwood started 2009 strong and has only gotten better. In his past five starts, he's been ridiculous: 1.30 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 27 Ks in 34 2/3 IP. He's been a top-20 fantasy pitcher pretty much all season, putting the memory of his killer 1.62 WHIP from 2008 well behind him. And believe it or not, Millwood is available in about 16 percent of ESPN.com leagues.
Prognosis: Considering I have him ranked No. 54 among starters from this point forward, you can probably guess that I'm wary. (So are owners in about 16 percent of ESPN.com leagues.) The warning signs for Millwood include a .260 batting average on balls in play and an 85.9 percent strand rate, which indicate that he's been dancing between the raindrops, Daisuke Matsuzaka style, for much of this season. Hey, he should be added in all leagues, because you never know. But I'm still not in love.
2. Jered Weaver, Angels (8-3, 2.65 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, 83 K's, 32 BBs, 102 IP): I've been preaching "sell high" on Weaver pretty much since April, and I've been wrong so far. What's most surprising to me about his season to date is that he really seems to have proven that his low strikeout rate in 2007 was an aberration. He'll apparently strike out a little more than seven batters per nine innings going forward, which isn't elite but is still very solid.
Prognosis: I can't help it: I'm still selling high. Weaver has been shaky in his past two outings (nine runs, 14 hits, seven walks in 11 1/3 innings), and his peripherals still look as scary as ever. Like Millwood, Weaver's BABIP is perhaps artificially low at .255 (it was .306 last year) and his strand rate is 82.8 percent (70.7 percent last year). I still worry that more baserunners are coming and that this relatively extreme fly ball pitcher will get burnt. I'm not saying dump him. He has loads of value. I'm just saying don't pass up a sweet offer. (Weaver will face Millwood on Wednesday night.)
1. Edwin Jackson, Tigers (6-4, 2.49 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, 84 K's, 24 BBs, 108 1/3 IP): Wow. Anyone who believed Edwin Jackson would be a must-own in every single fantasy league in existence back in March deserves to sit at the front of the class. Jackson won 14 games with the Rays last year, then Tampa turned around and traded him for a middling outfield prospect. He had never posted a WHIP better than 1.51 since becoming a full-time big leaguer. Bad control and homers always crushed him. Now? He's a contender for the All-Star Game.
Prognosis: There are a few warning signs. His BABIP is .258, which is a little low. His home run/fly ball rate is just 5.1 percent, nearly half his number last year, but can't some of that be attributed to spacious Comerica Park? I've stopped doubting Jackson. I wouldn't sell him high. I think he's legit.
Five stinking stinkers who've stunk (least-to-most stinky)
5. Derek Lowe, Braves (7-6, 4.53 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, 51 K's, 32 BBs, 95 1/3 IP): Lowe was good in April and better in May, so the fact that he's on this list is, well, disappointing. But that's what happens when you post a 7.36 ERA, 1.87 ERA and .345 batting average against in June. Suddenly, those of us who felt smart for drafting D-Lowe on the down low just look lame.
Prognosis: Maybe things will get better now that Lowe is done with the AL East. The Orioles, Red Sox and Yankees all torched him in his past three outings.
4. Gil Meche, Royals (4-7, 4.27 ERA, 1.42 WHIP, 71 K's, 36 BBs, 92 2/3 IP): I write more about Meche in the Fortunes Falling section below. Suffice it to say that although a tired shoulder supposedly has been behind some of his recent struggles, he really hasn't been consistently good since April. If he's been pitching hurt all this time, well, boo. That would've been nice to know.
Prognosis: Meche has decided that he'll be able to make his next start Wednesday. His fantasy owners probably wouldn't have minded if he had just gone ahead and taken some time off.
3. Cole Hamels, Phillies (4-4, 4.44 ERA, 1.41 WHIP, 76 K's, 16 BBs, 81 IP): Hamels was the seventh starting pitcher drafted in standard ESPN.com leagues on average. So far, he has produced the 71st-best fantasy season. To be fair, his numbers are skewed by two god-awful starts at the beginning of the year. (Without them, he'd have a 3.53 ERA and a 1.30 WHIP.) And that excuse was OK until his past four outings, in which he has regressed to the tune of a 4.56 ERA and a 1.73 WHIP.
Prognosis: Are last year's 262 1/3 innings (including the playoffs) catching up with Hamels? It's possible, but the fact that his BABIP is still .363 indicates he's had some bad luck. And he does have 20 strikeouts in his past three starts. (Lowe and Hamels face each other Wednesday.)
2. Roy Oswalt, Astros (3-4, 4.30 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, 75 K's, 28 BBs, 96 1/3 IP): Oswalt has been consistently inconsistent all season. When he's on, he looks like the guy you thought you were drafting. (Oswalt's average draft position among starters this year was ninth.) When he's off, he's eminently hittable, and he gets left in games so long that his overall stats suffer. The league is hitting .267 against him, which, if he keeps it up, would be the highest mark of his career. He has nine quality starts in 17 outings. He's been feh.
Prognosis: There's nothing in Oswalt's underlying numbers that says he has been unlucky. He's just been beaten up about every other start. The good news is that he's still fanning seven batters per nine innings, and his injury issues seem to be behind him. The other good news is that he looked excellent throwing a complete game Monday night against the woeful Padres. The bad news is that I still don't think the 200 innings he'll deliver will be as valuable as usual.
1. Francisco Liriano, Twins (4-8, 5.62 ERA, 1.52 WHIP, 80 K's, 42 BBs, 89 2/3 IP): There are as many theories about why Liriano has struggled this year as there are lakes in Minnesota. He's still hurt. His arm angle is different. He has lost velocity. He can't throw his slider. He can't throw his change. He can't work his way out of trouble. To my eyes, hitters are crushing his fastball because they don't fear the change. But the good news is that Liriano showed some of that old magic in his start Sunday.
Prognosis: I'm still hanging in there. I don't think Liriano will suddenly become a Cy Young candidate because of a couple of nice outings, but the Twins were very happy with a side session in the middle of last week, and Liriano was able to carry that over into a game. He's still whiffing hitters. Now he needs to get other kinds of outs, too.
Fortunes Rising
" Scott Kazmir, Rays (39): Kazmir returned from his injury/banishment on Saturday, and the best news was that he walked only one batter in five innings. Considering his mechanics had gotten so messed up that he walked 29 in 45 2/3 innings to begin the season, that's a definite step in the right direction. Of course, the fact that he needed 92 pitches to get through those five innings is an indication that everything isn't perfect with this guy. He's back, yes. But because of efficiency problems I still don't view him as elite.
" Randy Wells, Cubs (70): About six weeks ago in this column, I wrote that I thought it was a mistake to take Sean Marshall out of the Cubs' rotation and replace him with Wells. My bad. Wells has been terrific, allowing more than two runs in only two of his nine starts. He has only two wins, but that's just Exhibit Triple-Z in why you don't chase wins, you chase good pitching. Wells doesn't have ankle-breaking stuff, but he throws around the plate, and the league's hitting .235 against him. He's owned in just 13 percent of ESPN.com leagues. Go remedy that.
" Ricky Romero, Blue Jays (75): Romero hasn't struck out fewer than five batters in any of his past six outings and hasn't allowed more than three runs in any of his past five. He made the Phillies look foolish on Friday, starting the game with six no-hit innings and eventually going seven shutout innings. He's owned in only 16 percent of leagues and is very much worth riding while he's hot.
Fortunes Falling
" Gil Meche, Royals (52): As I mentioned above, Meche has been mostly disappointing since April. What's frustrating is that he'll occasionally mix in a solid skein of games, as he did in mid-June, when he allowed a single run in three starts combined. Unfortunately for Meche owners, although he hasn't allowed tons of runs each outing, he has given up baserunners galore; in May and June, his cumulative WHIP has been 1.49. Meche claims that he has been going through a "dead arm" phase in his past couple of starts, which makes sense because his numbers have taken a downturn. But he also claims that it's not bad enough for him to miss his next start Wednesday against the Twins.
" Edinson Volquez, Reds (62): The Reds seemed optimistic about Volquez's return from his sore elbow right up until the point where they gave him an MRI and decided there's too much inflammation in there for him to throw a baseball. Volquez has been shut down for the time being in an effort to calm his elbow. That means any thought of his returning before the All-Star break is gone. So far, the team doesn't seem worried that Volquez might require surgery, so you have to hang on to him for now.
" John Maine, Mets (72): Maine hasn't pitched in the majors since June 6 and had to cancel a minor league start on Friday because of continued discomfort in his shoulder. Like Volquez, Maine was supposed to be able to return before the All-Star break, but that won't happen. He needed a cortisone shot this past weekend, which makes me worry that the soreness in that shoulder may be a season-long problem. For now, although the timetable is still indefinite, I'm hanging on to Maine on my fantasy DL. But as his timeline comes clearer, he might wind up being a candidate to drop in shallower mixed leagues.
Comings and goings
" The Blue Jays activated Roy Halladay from the DL in time for him to make a start Monday night against the Rays, and sent Brad Mills back down to Triple-A. Halladay gave up two runs in six innings, fanning seven, walking two and allowing five hits. He wasn't his usual pitch-perfect self, but Halladay reported no problems with his groin, which is a good thing.
" CC Sabathia was able to make his start Friday against the Mets with no lingering issues from the biceps soreness that knocked him early out of his previous start. Sabathia proved he's fine by going seven innings, allowing one run and fanning eight.
" Brandon Webb's recurrence of pain in his throwing shoulder just gets worse and worse. The Diamondbacks still haven't announced what came of the second, third and fourth opinions that Webb got from shoulder specialists spanning the globe, but the assumption seems to be more and more that the star right-hander might have to go under the knife to get right. The Arizona Republic has reported that some folks surrounding the team think Webb has a torn labrum. I supposed there's still a sliver of hope that doctors could tell Webb that all he needs is more rest, but I'm not holding my breath.
" Erik Bedard threw two side sessions late last week and hopes to be able to start Saturday against the Red Sox. According to The Seattle Times, the final hurdle Bedard has to clear in his return from a strained shoulder is a side session on Tuesday or Wednesday.
" The Angels hope to get Ervin Santana back into their big league rotation in about a week. He reportedly has been able to throw without pain in the bullpen (about a week after lying to reporters about that) and is at the team's spring training facility rehabbing.
" With Antonio Bastardo's pitching shoulder hurting, the Phillies placed him on the 15-day DL and probably plan to call up top pitching prospect Carlos Carrasco to start Thursday against Atlanta. Carrasco nearly made the big league club out of spring training and has fanned nearly a batter per inning at Triple-A this season, so if he gets the call, he'll be worthy of consideration in all deeper leagues right away. However, there's reportedly still a chance that Thursday's start could go to Andrew Carpenter, who would be less interesting fantasywise.
" Kenshin Kawakami apparently avoided serious injury after being struck on the neck by a line drive off Joba Chamberlain's bat Wednesday. The Braves don't think Kawakami will have to go on the DL, but they pushed his next start back until Saturday.
" The Cardinals announced that Kyle Lohse will begin a rehab stint at Double-A Springfield on Thursday. Lohse was able to pitch a simulated game late last week, so the team is optimistic that he'll return soon from his strained forearm.
" Josh Outman had emerged as perhaps the best of the A's young starters through two months of the '09 season, but now all that is on hold. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Outman may need Tommy John surgery. Oakland already has put Outman on the 60-day DL, meaning he doesn't need to be retained in any fantasy leagues, and he's scheduled to have surgery Tuesday. It's unclear yet whether the surgery will, in fact, be of the Tommy John variety.
" The Padres announced that Chris Young won't return from his sore right shoulder until after the All-Star break. He has had awful control problems (40 walks in 76 innings), so he'll have a lot to prove even when he does come back. For now, I'm removing him from the top 80 starters, though in deeper leagues I would probably continue to hold on to him.
" Felipe Paulino returned from a groin injury Saturday and struck out nine Tigers in posting his second win of the season. He has some upside, but there are likely to be some bumps in the road if he stays in Houston's rotation. In addition, the Astros activated Mike Hampton from the DL on Monday night so he could start against the Padres on Tuesday.
" The Orioles placed Koji Uehara on the DL with tendinitis in his pitching elbow and recalled David Hernandez from Triple-A. Hernandez gave up 11 baserunners in 5 2/3 innings against the Nationals on Sunday and doesn't come recommended in any but the deepest AL-only leagues.
" An MRI revealed a tear in Dave Bush's pitching biceps that was the result of being struck by a line drive off Hanley Ramirez's bat a few weeks ago. Bush is expected to miss only two to three more weeks. In the meantime, Mike Burns has taken Bush's spot in the Milwaukee rotation.
" The Reds inserted Homer Bailey in Edinson Volquez's rotation spot, and Bailey (who had been outstanding at Triple-A lately) proceeded to walk seven batters on Saturday. Remember when Bailey and Phil Hughes were going to be the two greatest pitchers in the history of the world? Yeah, that was great.
" The Pirates demoted Ian Snell to Triple-A early last week. They had tired of his 1.62 WHIP and eternal glimpses of promise surrounded by bouts of wildness. In his first minor league start this season, however, Snell struck out 17 batters in seven innings, so don't rule out the possibility that he could return to the majors quickly. In his place, Virgil Vasquez made a start against the Royals on Friday and struck out seven.
" The Dodgers activated Eric Milton from the DL this past weekend and sent Jeff Weaver to the bullpen. In his first start back, Milton allowed seven hits and four runs in five innings, but he struck out seven Mariners and walked none.
" The Nationals sent Shairon Martis down to the minors to make room for Scott Olsen, who came off the DL on Monday and allowed two runs in seven innings against his former club, the Marlins. Initially, the Nats were going to remove Craig Stammen from the rotation, but they changed their minds.
" Matt Harrison is headed back to the DL with sore biceps, having made just two big league starts since his most recent activation from injury. The Rangers have given away first place in the past few days and need to find some viable alternatives to the young guys currently getting beaten up in their rotation (Harrison and Derek Holland chief among them).
" Ryan Sadowski made his major league debut for the Giants on Sunday and earned a win, shutting out the Brewers for six innings. He allowed four hits and three walks while striking out two. Sadowski isn't considered a big-time prospect (he's 26) and has had some control issues at Triple-A this season, but he could be worth a flyer in an NL-only league. Sadowski was replacing Jonathan Sanchez, whose control problems (and 1.73 WHIP) finally got him sent to the San Francisco bullpen.
" Hey, remember Bruce Chen? Well, he's back in the majors, this time with the Royals, taking the rotation spot that had belonged to the demoted Kyle Davies. Alas, Chen, who's now 32 years old, gave up four runs in 6 1/3 innings against the Pirates on Saturday. You don't want any part of him.

I think DH and I are both set on a boy name if this LO is a boy with the name: Adam Nicholas. We are constantly second guessing girl names though...DH likes Chelsea and Ashley and I like Cara. We both don't like the other's choices enough to be completely happy with them. The only one we can kind of agree on is Hannah.
So here are my questions: What kind of girl do you imagine when you hear Hannah? How many Hannah's do you know? is it overdone? Also, do you think it ages well?
The middle name will likely be Claire. Thanks Ladies!!

actually, in PP, a lot of backpackers go to the Boeung Lake.
You will find many guesthouses, restaurants, and all facilities for tourists there.
The rooms and food are cheaper than siem reap, but most of the accomodation are ugly, well, were, because i went there 2 years ago, so maybe it changed.
Anyway, this is the backpackers place in PP.
Have a good trip.

I guess lakeside and Boeung Lake is the same place.. I was there once to play some pool. It is infested to the brim with backpackers who want to travel to far away places only to stay with other backpackers and avoid locals and local culture..
Hehe.. Sorry. That was a bit negative. It is actually a nice area with very cheap accommodation. I think you can get rooms as low as $5 a night. A lot of small cozy bars in the area as well. I got a little put off by all the people trying to sell you drugs there though. If you are looking for a cheap room in a "western-orientated" area this is the area to stay :)

Lakeside remains the main backpacker scene (for now), with the area around Narin Guesthouse being the second main area people stay.

Bambino anyone!
Everywhere you go in Italy you will see very cute little cars!!
And not only are they cute, they are sensible too - particularly in a city like Lucca that has narrow streets and limited parking - the smaller the car the easier your day to day motoring is.
Now, just make sure you don't do too much shopping though....
; ))
- Road Trip
Water Fountains
In and around Lucca you will find many water fountains. The water comes from the mountains between Lucca and Pisa, called "Monti Pisani".
The water is drinkable and you will see many locals refilling their plastic bottles and cans at the fountains. I drank the healthy water 3 days and I am still alive, so the water obviously can't be that bad.

Zuppa di Farro
Zuppa di Farro is a traditional white bean soup which fed the Roman legions. It is a simple but yummy soup, made with farro which is an ancient wheat grain.
I enjoyed a Zuppa di Farro in the Trattoria da Leo (please read my restaurant tip). Another name for the soup is Minestra di Farro.

Local commerce
Wandering around the streets of Lucca you will come across some local commerce, mainly when you stay out of main streets and routes. Some lovely small shops with typical ambiance will provide you a memorable image of Lucca. A couple of elderly ladies talking at the door of this drugstore is a vivid memory of less touristy Lucca that I'm sure I will always remember.
A most common sight in Lucca - a bicycle - is also present on this scene.
Italian Beer
Two popular beer brands of Italy are Birra Moretti and Peroni Nastro Azzuro. Bierra Moretti is brewed since more than 100 years in Udine, whereas the Peroni Brewery is located since 1846 in Rome.
Both beers are not too bad, but obviously the local VT members seem to prefer German beer.

September Celebrations: Markets
In the weekends and on the 12th and 13th there is a market in the open in Borgo Giannotti and adjacent zone up to the Sport Palace. Food, clothes, kitchen stuff, tiny animals, handcrafts, shoes, and whatever you need is sold in this area just outside Porta Santa Maria.
When I was in Lucca I saw lots of locals at some fountains filling bottles to take home.
I asked a woman about this thing. She answered that water from the fountains in Lucca is better than that in houses. She also said it comes from the mountains near the town.

September Celebrations: Procession & Fireworks
On the 13th there is the main celebration. A religious procession walk through the streets of old town, leaded by the Bishop, showing old flags and holy images. At the end all the people rushes on the Walls to see the fireworks starting at about 10.30-11 PM.
September Celebrations: Volto Santo (Holy Face)
In the Cathedral there is a wooden statue representing Jesus Crucified (see the related must-see tip). During the celebrations this statue is dressed with precious ancient clothes made by silk, brocade and gold, and with golden jewelry.
Two medieval-style armored crossbowmen are placed as guardians to this holy image all day long during the time in which the statue is dressed.
Flat land means football/soccer , even if it is next to the famous walled city of Lucca. You can catch a game around most of the walled city. The best part is to look down on the games as you walk on top of the wall. If you are any good at dribbling and passing, maybe even scoring, then ask to join in. The players may just let you get on the field for a few minutes. Of course, I enjoyed watching. Not much action in the old legs anymore.

Local festivity of Santa Zita
When we traveled to Lucca by the end of April, we found that from April 24-27, the locals were celebrating the local festivity of Santa Zita who is the patron saint of Lucca.
They told us that every year, on 27th April, in the honour of S.Zita in S. Frediano square there are a lot of flowers and you can find a flower/street market in the Amphitheater. People buy a bunch of flowers along the street and they have it blessed and they keep it in their houses. The wild daffodil is the flower that is usually connected with this saint.
In those days, Piazza dell´Anfiteatro is full of colours because the locals celebrate this festivity with flowers and people from everywhere come here to buy flowers. They also do a Flowers competition between the flower stalls and it is a party for the eyes, not only because the colours but also for the diversity of flowers there.
The locals made also the typical sweets and they go outside to celebrate the party.

Candlelight procession
The most treasured religious object in Lucca is Volto Santo, which is kept in a shrine at The Cathedral od San Martino. The painted wooden crucifix has a darkened face and is reputed to have been given to Nicodemus by angels, and arrived in Lucca after long and tortuous travels. It is greatly revered, and on the eve of the feast of Santa Croce it is processed from the church of San Frediano back to its resting place at the Cathedral by candlelight. During the preceeding days there are vigils in the Cathedral with much devotion, singing and prayers.
The procession itself has both religious aspects, as there are frequent stops for prayers as well as hymn singing, but also homecoming and reunions as Lucchese scattered around the world return to march with their home parishes.

September Celebrations
During the month of September in Lucca there are a lot of events. This because on the 13th the Holy Cross is celebrated as the patron saint of the city (actually is only one of the many saints celebrated...and I can't say certainly which is really the patron).
Markets, exhibitions, religious activities drag on the whole month.
September Celebrations: Exhibitions
There are two main exhibition areas in town:
the first is San Micheletto. Former a convent, now it is open for exhibitions, courses and for the city university that is going to start lessons very soon.
The second spot it's in the tensioned structure beside the Sport Palace, near the Walls in the outer parte between Porta Santa Maria and Porta San Donato.
September Celebrations: Amusement Park
In the zone between the Sport Palace and Borgo Giannotti there is an amusement park with a lot of attractions for children and kids. During this period this is also a meeting point for 14-18 years old guys.
