LOSER: "Duets" (ABC)
Looks like we've finally reached the saturation point with TV singing competitions. ABC had high hopes for "Duets," which pairs established singers like Kelly Clarkson and John Legend with unknown vocalists. But it hit a flat note with viewers, with only 6.7 million tuning in for the debut performance -- less than half the audience "The Voice" and "The X Factor" scored in their premieres. And it's gone steadily downhill ever since, with last week's installment sinking to just 4.2 million viewers. Guess Lionel Richie got out at the right time, huh?

LEXINGTON, KY -- An errant and now deceased squirrel knocked out electricity to about 1665 customers in the northwest area of Lexington for a short period early today.
Several calls came in to 27 NewsFirst starting about 8 a.m., especially from the Cardinal Valley area. Residents were concerned about facing a forecasted hot day without air conditioning, but power was restored within two hours.
A Kentucky Utilities spokesman said the squirrel came in contact with the power lines at a substation on Trafton near the Pepsi plant.
K.U. Spokesman Cliff Feltham told 27 NewsFirst the squirrel's contact knocked out two circuits at 7:36 a.m.
Fletham says power was restored by 9:20 a.m.

Mattru Things to Do
Jong River
The River is beautiful!! It's a pretty long river! We were there during dry season, so it was pretty low and we could see the islands in the middle. It's quite remarkable to see the banks with such thick vegetation and know that it's all still pretty untouched. There are people that live on the banks among the vegetation, but they don't 'develop' the area like places in Europe or the U.S. I hope that makes sense! :-)Related to:
- Hiking and Walking
- Religious Travel
Mattru Restaurants
(They Don't Exist in Mattru): Eat whatever you can find or buy!!
There're bar-ish type establishments, but they probably aren't the same as what westerners think of them. So you can get "softs" (pop/soft drink/soda/coke--for all the different names of those types of drink)...and sometimes they're even cold! :-) It's a welcome sight after long, hard days.
Favorite Dish: Well...in Mattru we ate pork, chicken, & fish, & lots of RICE!! as well as many types of fruit, including bananas, plaintain, pineapple (yummy--we bought the pineapples on the way between Freetown and Mattru), papaya, coconut, limes, lemons, onions, oranges, grapefruit , groundnuts (peanuts), hot peppers and other stuff. Casava is very common there, but it's usually mixed in different foods and not eaten by itself. There are some good bread bakers as well!!
For drinks, we filtered our water, made special kool-aid (quite the treat), made fruit juice (fresh lemon/lime juice), drank tea or coffee, etc. No milk to be found!Related to:

While the missile launcher is certainly is fun… assuming you can get it to work. But if you can get it setup and running it is a whole barrel of monkey's worth of fun. Its 30 foot range really does come in handy for reaching out and touching someone.
Fire Away
The Dream Cheeky O.I.C. USB Missile Launcher is a heck of a lot bigger than I had pictured it. This thing with its approximate 3.5″ x 4.5″ x 6.5″ footprint it does take up a goodly amount of real estate. Though to be honest the best place I found to stick it was on top of my PC's tower chassis so the extra large foot print really is here nor there as it now resides in what was a "dead zone" of basically unusable space.
Here it has a good 360º field of fire and the added height did give it a good foot or more of extended ranges. In other words the old cannon cockers mantra "height IS distance" is in full effect with this bad boy. The other upside to bigger than expected foot print is that even when moving and firing this little bad boy does feel unstable or "tippy" you can even bump into it without fear of it falling over.
As you can see it does kind of look like a cross between something out of Star Wars and a yankee MGM-140 "attacks 'ems" ATacMS battery. The only thing missing is a mini tank chassis underneath it to make it portable and then it really would be a futuristic version of the "Atacks'ems" system. Now that would have taken this to the next level as not only would it be good for being a Close In Weapons System for you next Cubical Wars Nerf battle but actually let you hunt down your intended victim. As it stands the four barrel turret is kinda cute in a geeky sort of way that will at the very least be a great conversation starter.
I actually do have a couple nits to pick with this setup as it is not only loud in operation (and firing) but it is also slow. Even your grandmother in a wheel chair will be able to out maneuver this Nerf launcher when they become aware of it… and the noise it makes lining up its shot will get their attention. The other issue is there is it really is slow about setting up for another missile launch and while you have four shots before you need to reload your "battle" will be most likely long over before you can get the third one off. I would estimate a good 5 to 6 second delay in between shots giving it a anemic 10 shots per minute capability.
Software and Installation
Ok let's start with the bad. I never could get the software to run under Windows 7. In the end, I gave up and ran it on my XP system. Since I tried this on three different Windows 7 based systems (admittedly all 64-bit versions) I feel confident in saying Dream Cheeky's software needs a lot of work. Luckily, it works like a champ under XP so in a pinch I probably could load up "XP mode" on Windows 7 systems and run it that way, but that sounds an awful lot like work and considering this a novelty time waster, that's not a good thing.
When I did get it running on my XP system I was fairly impressed with the dead simple software. You get a simple little popup with a four cardinal direction buttons on the top half with a big button in the center and the bottom half being an image monitor showing what the built in USB camera sees. Sadly there is no aiming reticule and you are basically only eye balling where you are aiming. This does take away from the fun factor to a certain extent and would have been easily avoided by painting an aiming reticule onto the software screen. Though only if it was semi accurate and not just a patch job. An even better solution would have been to include a laser pointer in the center of the four NERF dots "painting" the target and adding a lot to that all important "fun factor".
Helping to make up for this less than optimal issues is the fact that you can remotely operate this bad boy via MSN. Simply log into MSN on the system it is connected to, launch the separate MSN based software controller, walk away and using your smart phone log into MSN and take control of the O.I.C. USB Missile Launcher. You really can be across the room, street or world and set a trap for any nosey snoops going through your office cubicle while you are away. Revenge has never been as sweet or as fun… especially is you add a tab of glue to the front of the NERF darts so they stick to the sticky finger. All in all it may have been a rocky road to get this bad boy working but the end result was worth the effort and hunting down my pets with the O.I.C. USB Missile Launcher was a great time waster in between writing reviews for Everything USB.
While it is far from perfect, the O.I.C. USB Missile Launcher actually is a heck of a lot of fun to use. It may have some software issues that can rain on your parade; and it may not be even remotely quiet in operation but it really can launch those little bad boy darts further than you would think possible. If you and your colleagues at work are into what me and my mates used to call "cube wars" this 30 foot rocket launcher will give you a clear and distinctive advantage over them.
I just wish it could be quicker on firing its four rockets, come with MORE than 6 of them (as they are easy to lose) and fire them quicker, but overall I did have a blast using it. If you are looking for a novelty gadget for yourself or a friend and you know they are into NERF related paraphernalia you may want to check out this funky, fun little gadget. For everyone else, the high cost of admission will never be recouped in time "wasted" by playing with it.

We are trying to move an application built in .NET 3.5 to 2.0 (reason to let our exe run on older machines with XP etc. which does not have 3.5)
While doing so everything is now stuck on one major problem Replacing Func with an old fashioned delegate (As Func is not available on 2.0). The code to be replaced is something like this.
private Func<object, string> someName1;
private static Func<object, string> someName2;
internal Func<object, string> someProperty
get { return someName1?? (someName1= someName2); }
set { someName1= value; }
Can some body please help me create 'someProperty' the way it is only by using delegates. Thanks in advance.

Odd thing you've done, and then thought 'WTF did I do that?!'(293 Posts)
I once found a white disc in the washing machine after a load had finished. Couldn't for the life of me work out what it was. So I licked it. Turns out it was a lemon scented bleach block for the toilet cistern. I'd scooped up the packet with the dirty washing. I don't usually lick random objects. It tasted a bit lemony, and not particularly fatal in case you were wondering.
Got home after being out all morning the other day, couldn't find my house keys .
Front door left wide open with keys in the outside lock
I 'd been out over 3 hours and the postie had been , kindly putting the post on the doormat!
Wouldn't be as bad if it wasn't the second time I've done it..
1st night on holiday.
Went straight to the beach.
It was nearly dusk so thought we would just paddle with toddlers.
Tucked up maxi-dress up by ruching it up at the sides and tucking it into knickers. They were black, I had been waxed before holiday so thought it was no different to bikini bottoms.
Played on beach for an hour and sat down on towel to dry feet etc.
Only realised later that I had forgotten I had on a panty pad, with large white wings very visibly displayed! Mortified
On the phone to a client called Ben in the office. Get to the end of the call and instead of saying 'Bye!' I say 'Ben!'
Love this thread, still funny.
"Hello bronagh"
And the one about the person being in the wheelchair all evening absolutely cracked me up
When I first had my licence, and took the car out for the day I had dropped off my friend, walked out of her house and hopped straight into the passenger side of the car. Shut the door. Then realised, oh Christ I can't drive from here.
In case anyone was looking I spent a minute pretending to get something out of the glove box before I got out and walked back around to the drivers side.
So pleased this thread is in Classics, it's been so funny that I almost had an asthma attack because of been so hysterical with laughter.
I've had a few 'incidents' myself, but the first I remember was when I was about 12 or so: my mother gave me some letters to post at the Post Office, and some money to buy stamps to put on them. Yup, I'm sure you've guessed, I posted the letters then went inside to buy the stamps. On the letters. I'd just posted...
Took me years to live that down.
I've just attempted to eat what I think is supposed to be a bath bomb...
It was heart shaped, sweetie sized and pink. It was in a baby shower party bag given to me by a friend.
It was going so well til I licked it and it started fizzing...
Last Monday I went into work, took the lift with a colleague, got out on the third floor. Went into the kitchen to make tea.
Wondered why they had changed the table - I'm part time, these things happen.
Looked for my mug - some bastard had nicked it, obviously. Funnily enough all the other mugs looked a bit unfamiliar. Spent five minutes hunting for the team tea caddy and milk ...
Only when someone id never seen before asked me what I needed did I remember the key point that I work on the FIFTH floor ...
Met a colleague of DH's in the street. Never met her before but joined in with the polite 'lovely weather' type chat as I wanted to make a good impression. As she walked away calling 'bye!' I replied with an equally cheery and loud 'thank you!'
What? Thank you? Ffs brain.
We were out with H's new work colleagues one evening.
One guy was Welsh, and all of a sudden, I found myself doing a Welsh accent, in response to something he'd said .
I have no idea why I did it, H was quite annoyed, as he was embarrassed, and the guy I'd mimicked looked really unimpressed.
I still go red just thinking about it!
Oh this thread is joyous.
I like the ritual of writing Christmas cards each year. One year a friend called me to ask I'd realised that I'd written 'happy birthday' rather than merry Christmas in her card.
I'd done it in all of them. Why!?!? Why???????
A friend and I were on our way to a party in a block of flats (I was staying with her so it was her friends party, no one I knew.) On the walk there we found a slightly broken abandoned wheelchair and I thought it would be hysterical to get in it. Friend wheeled me the rest of the way to the party (spinning me and tipping me up etc etc).
We arrived at the bottom of the main stairway to the flat block and my friend saw someone she knew so ran off to see them in excitement. As I'm about to get up out of the wheelchair some other party goers (who had been smoking out the front) noticed me. Cue lots of apologies from them about how the lift is broken and they're so sorry but of course I'm still welcome, not to worry, they'll carry me up.
They then lift me in the chair up three flights of stairs into the flat and I had to pretend to be in a wheelchair for the rest of the evening including wheelchair dancing and one particularly interesting trip to the toilet. My friend thought it was hilarious and at the end of the evening rounded up the same guys to carry me back down the stairs. By this time my head was just buried in my hands but my she gushed thanks at them and wheeled me off down the road.
Why I didn't just get up out of the chair and explain myself straight away I'll never know!
I'm shaking with silent laughter trying not to wake up four month old dd in the crib next to me!
My mum was redecorating her hallway and I was helping look at sample books. I'd finished with one and asked her to pass me the deluxe one. Wasn't until I saw the look on my dp and my mum's face that I realised I'd said durex!
Also was at my mum's once with my sister her dp and my dp. I saw a pair of seamless knickers on the radiator and I wanted to know if they were any good at hiding vpl so I piped up with "Mum are these your crotchless knickers?" She looked horrified for a second before everyone fell about laughing! I'll never live that one down!
Just realised that I look like I'm obsessed with sex!

I've only just realised (yesterday) that kanga and roo from winne the pooh were so called because they were.... Kangaroos
I'm in my 30's for petes sakes. How have I only just realised this??!
At Westfield shopping centre my husband handed me the parking token which I inexplicably popped into my mouth and attempted to swallow
On the phone the other week to organise a meeting
I was half listening, and half writing something on the PC.
The woman I was
sort of listening to said something about being able to move an appointment forward for me. I went to say "Thankyou" but for some reason my brain wanted me to say "Well done" I ended up saying, "Well, FANCY THAT" in a rather overly enthusiastic tone. Mumbled something about someone being at the door and quickly hung up.
Oh yes. Called the hair dresser to make an appointment one time when we were visiting DH's hometown. "Anyone available for a quick blow job today?" Meant blow dry.
THis thread is great!
Mine :Spent 10 minutes trying to get in my car but the key wouldn't turn had a similar problem the week before so I was unimpressed it hadn't been fixed. I rang the AA started complaining that they had been out the week before and I was not happy etc etc they asked for licence plate which I couldn't remember went round the front and reliased it wasn't my car, my car was 2 cars back. So I said oh it's working now and hung up!
Also walked home from work on more than one occasion and then called dh in a flap cos car had been stolen to them remember driving to work that morning!
Not me but my mother, we were on a night out she got a little tipsy and as we were leaving some lads (about 20ish) were sliding down the banister of the stairs in the bar. Being my mother she started telling them off saying it was v dangerous they could hurt themselves. She then proceeded to take one step and fall down the full flight of stairs!!!

Last year I posted my dad's Father's Day card into the post box. As it slipped from my fingers I realised it just said 'Dad'. I hadn't written his address or even his name! I had put on a stamp though!? I felt like such an idiot.
I frequently forget how old I am and really have to think about it before I come up with the correct answer.
At uni I decided to test whether the hob was working by touching it, I turned my entire palm into a huge blister.
Also, not me but a colleague who burst out of a cubicle at work screaming the place down. As we were in ITU I assumed that the patient had literally exploded or something, turns out my colleague had seen a spider.
When I was 22 I went to buy a bottle of wine. The man serving me asked how old I was? I replied back '18'! He then asked to see my id which he looked at and realised I was 22...he stared at me like I was crazy!
I once was I was I. the phone to the mobile phone company, they asked me to confirm my number so I did, they told me that it was wrong, so I said again, this went in for a while and ended up with me giving the poor guy on the other end of the phone a bollocking because he was wrong-
turns out I was telling him my exHs number

Trustworthy reviews are our priority. Businesses can't pay to change or remove reviews.
Perfect place for gifts and favors. Everyone loves good chocolate! The presentation is lovely and the price is right.
The chocolates we got for our favors were a big hit with the guests! The ingredients they use are premium local ingerdients and are absolutely delicious! I highly recommend them for wonderful and not to expesive favors!
This is the perfect gift because the chocolate tastes delicious and its packaged so lovely. Very thankful for this service!
We ordered about 330 assorted chocolates for our wedding favors. They were delicious!! I am pleased that we have some left over that we enjoy at home:-). I plan to go back around the Holidays for more as it was quite difficult to pick up the order and not indulge in any of the other delicious things they had displayed in the cases and on the shelves.
We ordered their dark chocolate mint hearts wrapped in gold foil. The chocolate came overnight in insulated packing. Not melted at all even though we ordered at the end of June. They have plenty of chocolates to choose from and were already a favorite of mine. Their chocolate is the best.
Lake Champlain chocolates are my favorite. Being a huge chocolate lover I ordered the dark chocolate sea shells for my wedding guests and I gave boxes of the truffles to my bridesmaids. Everyone said it was the best chocolate they have ever had. Now I just wish I hadn't give it all away to my guests!
Their chocolates are always delicious, but it was the excellent customer service we received that would make us really recommend LCC.
Timely, considerate, and delicious. Apparently one of the colors that we had chosen had changed and they called to make sure that was OK with us and if it wasn't, they were willing to work something out. Great service and prompt reply!
My favors were very simple yet detailed. The shipping was fast & prompt! Everyone was raving about the chocolate bride & groom! Thank you so much!
Ordering the wedding favors was probably the easiest part of planning my wedding. Everything was done through the online store, and the chocolates arrived on time and as order. They tasted delicious!
I appreciate their help and time. Thanks.
I can't say enough about how great they are. They worked with me when my date got moved so that my chocolates arrived fresh packed. When they did arrive they where bubble wrapped and packed with Nordic Ice containers wrapped to prevent any possible dripping. You could have tossed the box down a flight of stairs and left them out on the doorstep all day the chocolates wouldn't have been messed up. I even got a free sampler of their gourmet truffles which where wonderful. I think I will get those for Christmas gifts now. The chocolate hearts (I got some milk chocolate some dark and some dark with mint) where a huge hit and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for favors. They are worth every penny you will spend.
Amazing chocolate! We got these as favors for our wedding.. and were lucky to have chosen them! Many of our guests were from Vermont and they were pleasantly surprised that their favors were made by a local company.
Like others, our guests thoroughly enjoyed these and we got many compliments. I enjoyed how easy it was to order the chocolates and how quickly they were delivered!
I purchased most of the wedding party gifts at Lake Champlain Chocolates.Everyone loved what they got, especially the bags with the bridesmaids names embroidered.The quality of the products were wonderful!
We ordered a few sets of chocolate to use as favors, and ordered 1 for ourselves to see what it was like. The chocolate is amazing, all the different pieces were some of the best chocolates I have eaten. Ordering them all was easy, and they were delivered in less than a week.

Roosevelt Rides Again!
CSN's Patrick Mooney broke the news that Theodore Roosevelt Lilly III is back with the Cubs. No, the 38 year old crafty one, who retired last November isn't being brought back from the netherworld to be another soft tossing lefty to flip at the trade deadline. He's there in a new capacity, per Rotoworld:
Ted Lilly has been hired as a special assistant for the Cubs front office. He will work with young players in Cubs camp during spring training and then help the organization with scouting for the draft.
Then there is this quote from TL upon making the decision to take the Cubs gig:
Ted Lilly: "I want to be around the game and I feel like I have something to offer. This is the organization I would prefer to be with."
A little more from Gulliver and the Voyage to Lilliput after the jump...
Carrie Muskat at cubs.com says that Lilly, Theo and Jed started discussions about a role with the Cubs during the recent January Cubs Convention.
"His reputation with the Cubs is sterling, which is fantastic, and not only as a person but as a competitor," Hoyer said. "I really liked what he had to say. A lot of guys want to get back in and don't want to work that much, and he made it clear he wants to work and wants to get involved in scouting. I think we'll use him in a variety of ways. He feels he has a pretty good eye and likes to try to evaluate but also was really humble and knows he has to learn how to do it. He was excited to get back involved and I think we'll feel out how to use him."
The terms of this contract have to be less stressful than when Lilly signed on for 4/40 in December 2006. GM Jim Hendry was on the stretcher to get an angioplasty when that deal was closed.
My thought is he's being brought back to teach those who will listen on how to slide into catchers given the new rules that are being invoked. Yadier Molina still aches from this lesson. Of course there are many reasons to love Ted Lilly. The TLFC, the TL Supercomputer, TCR has a long track record of showing some Ted Lilly love. Given that link showing some of Lilly's best Cub outings, maybe Travis Wood will learn a trick or two from the master crafty-sman.
Samardzija had better watch out if he gets too pranky, cause TL is THE master prankster.

Since you are talking about
Since you are talking about boners, I was at the game today, sitting in the front row maybe 30 feet from 3b. Bryant looks STIFF out there on D. I don't see his glove working at 3b long term.
If anyone is interested in two of these seats(face value) for the 3/11 game, let me know. I have 6 but only need 4. They are in the front row right next to the cubs dugout. It's actually a row in front of the dugout. Look to your right and you have a nice view right into the dugout. It's hot as fuck(for a person who has spent this winter in Chicago) until about the 3rd inning.

it's early spring arizona sun...get a wide brim hat that has ventilation to breathe and you'll be all good.
i haven't been to AZ in a year and 1/2...one of my favorite places to visit and hike (even more than hawaii).
i wish they still had full-time spring training games in tucson (one of my favorite places on this planet). i had some fun times at TEP and Hi Corbett Field watching games. i understand why teams left (and why many vets would skip the phoenix-area to tucson bus trip), but i'd rather be in tucson for anything but the games.
I remember when the Padres
I remember when the Padres were in Yuma back in 70s-80s.

"It's not so much that Baez's
"It's not so much that Baez's approach is overly aggressive. I think that comes off as a pejorative statement at times, and being aggressive isn't always a bad thing. You want to see hitters take advantage of opportunities and drive the baseball with authority. I think Baez's biggest problem at the plate is that his confidence with the bat/swing creates an environment where everything thrown in his general direction is considered an opportunity for him to drive the ball out of the park. It's often hard to distinguish between being aggressive and being overly confident, but in Baez's case, he's not a grip-it-and-rip-it hitter; rather, he's a guy who thinks he can turn around whatever a pitcher has to offer and send it out of the park."
I think this is a distinction without a difference. And if this is true, I mean I'm kind of tired of free swingers... meh.
There is a difference, at
There is a difference, at least in my mind. To this point Baez's view is that nobody can beat him consistently. To this point his stats suggest he's been proven correct. Moving forward he's surely going to come across guys who can beat him more often than not. What he does in response to that seems to be the key as to whether he's a AAA flameout or a perennial MLB All-star, and why the consensus is he has more space between his ceiling and floor than other high-end prospects. I read into the BP guy's definition of grip it and rip it that he thinks that condition is un-alterable.
some guys can get away with
some guys can get away with it...we'll find out if he can when he's exposed at higher levels.
we may have to live with his high-K tradeoff, though.
unlike some load-and-release hitters, he at least has the "unteachable skill" of extremely quick hands/wrists through the batting zone...just like soriano was so quick for many years with his hands/wrists he could stand in the front of the box hoping to feast on breaking stuff that was breaking late as well as being able to respond to fastballs. age caught up with soriano...but so did the learning curve of adapting and he's tweaked his approach a little bit.
i'm not trying to say soriano and baez hit the same, but they're both aggressive swingers with extremely quick hands/wrists (at least soriano in his youth, anyway). no one's ever called soriano's swing nice/pretty/etc...baez at least has better praise in that department.
And if you only had one guy
And if you only had one guy like that in your lineup, you can get away with it. For several years now we've had a lineup chock full of free swingers and the results are dozens of 5-10 pitch innings from opposing pitchers. If you don't have the other 90% of your lineup working the count, you will never realize the benefit of a free swinger.
cross your fingers and hope d
cross your fingers and hope d.vogelbach can play LF in the future with the drop in weight.
soler and almora seem to be guys heavily prone to swing even if they don't K much.
bryant might be patient...hard to tell at this point.
a.alcantara showed great improvement with his walk rate last year even though he still K'd a lot. that's at least a bit promising (especially for a 21 year old playing in AA).
Word is Bryant is too picky
Word is Bryant is too picky ala Frank Thomas
I'm not sure the quote is
I'm not sure the quote is particularly clear, but I would draw a distinction between the Javier Baez aggressive approach and the Starlin Castro aggressive approach. Castro gets into trouble when he swings at a pitch out of the zone just because he knows he can dump it into RF just beyond the 2B. Baez gets into trouble because he thinks he can drive anything. I'd call Baez's approach aggressive and in need of refinement. I'd taking Baez's aggressiveness of the type we see in Castro at times. But, obviously, they'd both be better off if they were a bit more selective and put themselves in situations to take aggressive swings on good hitters pitches/counts.
It'll be interesting to see how badly and how long Baez struggles against polished pitchers who can locate their breaking balls, which he hasn't faced yet. That part of his game might not become apparent until he spends a while in the majors, and that'll be when we see how his "aggressiveness" plays or gets adjusted.
That BP description made me
That BP description made me curious as to what was said about Vlad Guerrero as a prospect. Came across this early scouting report:
My favorite thing about that
My favorite thing about that scouting report is that the form has "cute" as one of the options for categorizing a type of pitcher.

Jerome Walton, future ROY. Report from 1987.

this is fun stuff...
Lean, live body. Curt Flood/Bobby Tolan look. Has added 10 lbs of muscle since last year. Lightning quick bat. Roberto Alomar hitting style. HR pop when he gets his pitch. Exciting speed. Big base stealing ability. Excellent base runner. Plus range. CF instincts. Skills to hit in either the 1,2 or 3 hole. 5 tool ability.
the kerry wood scouting
the kerry wood scouting reports were interesting...
fastball/curve/change showing in HS...no slider (slurve) yet.
heh...he turned that "hole
heh...he turned that "hole away" weakness into "whatever, i'll swing at that, too...just make better contact off the bat"
he was the best bad-ball hitter i've ever seen. even when you pitched him correctly he would swing at something stupid to swing at and do something with it.

Agreed. I think JD might be a bust, but gotta give him a couple more years I guess. I remember being skeptical of Brenly early on too. But JD and Kasper were two ships passing in the night as far as chemistry last year ... I hope they learn each other's sense of humor because so far it's just been awkward.
JD was rather awesome with
JD was rather awesome with the astros...but he knew the team rather well and that helped a lot in his banter.
it really seems like he came on board with the cubs without doing a lot of homework. i hope it gets better as he spends more time around the team (and i hope he's getting exposure to the kids in spring training). bob not only came on board having done his homework, he dove head-first into getting to know what's going on in the minors (beyond what his kid was doing) as well as the major league team.
i totally agree on the point about jd and len not matching wits well even though they were both trying to joke around...it was painfully awkward too many times for far too long. len/bob were great at setting each other up for jokes and playing off each other's commentary.
len/bob had great chemistry and bob was a strong color guy for the cubs.

Yeah, it's the past but you keep complaining based on the past. First they tanked and shouldn't have. Now they make some comments about needing to have a budget and you say they're crying poverty -- all before any trades/signings have been made. (They signed a $155 million pitcher last year, I recall.)
FYI, the Cubs have had a skating rink the last couple of years. It's not a permanent structure (obviously) and probably doesn't cost all that much. But who knows, maybe it'll be the reason they don't win a World Series.
Thanks guys! Pretty sure Bill Murray says thanks too.
Awesome job, Tim!
Outfielder Chris Young signs "multiyear" contract w BoSox.
Wow, Dombrowski is a buffoon
Not sure I understand the logic, especially for more than one year.
well, that's the past. we're left with the present. even though that past you're seeing is some weird black/white either/or where hybridization of ideas isn't allowed...nonetheless...
the present is ice skating, movies, concerts, beer gardens, hotels, office space and other wonderful baseball activities based around a young, successful baseball team.
Cheap bastards
All money making ventures, which would have been offset with a reasonable TV contract that previous ownership screwed up
Nah, I'll probably just contemplate how they should've done a Padres-style all-in plan.
of course not. maybe go ice skating and think about it a while. make advanced reservations at the hotel they're starting construction on. check new releases for possible entertainment from the movie screens they want installed. think about renting an office in the new office spaces. write a letter to the cubs requesting your favorite beer be added to the beer garden. lobby your favorite band to play the outdoor venue.
...and in between that maybe they can find $40-50m to invest in the product that all of this revolves around.
let's not get caught up on phrasing for a setup and lose the gist of the post. i don't care what one wants to call the playoff exit.
-crapping out
+they lost their playoff attempt
there. now we can focus on something other than not liking the tone of a line that's setting up a point.
I didn't like the entire post, if that helps.
Making the NLCS with a young team = "crapping out of the playoffs with a young team."

Remember Me
The Dossier
You don't have to look hard for Eric Krasno gems – there's a new one every week. But here
are six recent Kraz
appearances well worth your listening space.
Soulive at Mountain Jam, Hunter, NY, 6/8/2013
A typically raging Soulive set that focuses on band staples like "Cannonball," "Hat Trick"
and "El Ron" – abetted by the
Shady Horns – before Bill Evans gets into the mix on "Spark" and Mountain Jam host Warren
Haynes climbs aboard for
"Manic Depression." It's always a gas to hear Krasno and Warren spar – Kraz leans a little
more greasy rock, Warren a bit
more jazz-funk.
Eric Krasno, Joe Russo and Neal Evans, Brooklyn Bowl, Brooklyn, NY, 11/9/2013
An ad hoc trio that would reprise itself two months later at the same venue during the
Freaks Ball as Stirrers, this was an
example of the totally kickass, pickup, near-spontaneous "go for it" type of stuff you
wish you could still get often from
New York-area jam scene musicians.
Terrapin Family Band, Brooklyn Bowl, Brooklyn, NY, 11/14/2013
Phil Lesh posted up at the Bowl with the Terrapin Family Band, and the surprise of the
long set was Krasno, who'd
jammed with Phil and Joe Russo in Central Park a few days earlier, and here showed a
comfortable feel for Dead-style
improv, including a delectable "Sugar Magnolia > Cassidy" progression.
Lettuce, Bear Creek Music Festival, Live Oak, FL, 11/17/2013
Since becoming a regularly performing group again, Lettuce is one of those collectives
that seems to get nastier, funkier
and tastier every tour. This Bear Creek set had its share of surprises, including Nikki
Glaspie and Igmar Thomas in for
Adam Deitch and Eric Bloom, and sit-ins from Alecia Chakour, Mike Dillon and Nigel Hall.
But it's a monster showcase
for Krasno, too – this is a band where he so often blazes.
Soulive with The London Souls, Paradise Rock Club, Boston, MA, 12/31/2013
Soulive – and Krasno in particular -- played a big part in the rise of The London Souls
and it's no surprise the two bands
are so simpatico when sharing the stage. Listen to this New Year's throwdown – weapons-
grade Krasno all over it --
and get a taste of what might happen during the "London Soulive" set slated for this
year's Bowlive run.
Eric Krasno Band, Jam Cruise, 1/5/2014
Say this for Krasno: he knows how to put a hot band together. This Jam Cruise set put him
at the center of a seven-
piece lineup that included Alecia Chakour, Alex Chakour, Eric Kalb, Peter Levin, Nigel
Hall and James Casey, with Kofi
Burbridge jumping in near the end. A preview of coming attractions for Krasno's solo band

Blends well with black hair. I find the comb helps to blend a bit which I thought it wouldn't be able to do.

I used this brow pencil for the first six months of this year. I thought it was my holy grail. It is easy to use, I love the blonde color and it colors in my sparse (at the end) brows really easily.
But I also continued to read brow product reviews and I was intrigued with the Lancome brow pencil that is a powder-liner. I like the Lancome one more than this.
This is still a great product at a really good price. I just love the Lancome pencil more.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Normal, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Blond, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Green
best DS brow product and i have tried many. but there are two major irritations:
1) the comb at the end is annoying. a spoolie would have been much better (mascara wand type brush) and easier to brush the hairs with (which i find necessary to get good evenly filled natural looking brows). the comb is nearly impossible to brush the brows well with bc the teeth are too far apart. so i use my own spoolie.
2) the point sucks. it is not skinny enough to easily fill in arches/small areas precisely. it can't be sharpened. and it isn't retractable so if you twist out too much product the point will break off. to prevent this you need to twist more product out VERY often as you use it.
however, the colors look great, the formula is creamy, and it wears all day!
i am an anastasia brow wiz user and lover. if they fixed the point so it was retractable and thinner, i would switch to this stuff..even without a spoolie! (if there was a spoolie too it would be perfect)
it is about 8.something at the DS, don't know how many months the pencil will last. my HE pencil (anastasia brow wiz) cost about 20 but i got close to 6 months out of it, maybe more. so if i have to replace this more frequently it is not really cheaper than buying HE.
i am using dark blonde which i love. it is pretty much a pure dirty blonde, no odd red or yellow tones like many other pencils. perfect shade for my barely light brown/dirty blondeish hair and brows, which look too dark with a brown brow pencil.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Very Dry, Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Other, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Brown
I love this thing! its easy to apply. love the bristles...really do comb your eyebrows. the color matches very well depending on the hair color you have. you can do a very light fill in or a very dark fill in. and the price is not bad...
the only ONE thing i don't like is that it runs out quickly...i think it last me like about 5months...? which is not bad, but still...
anywho...i will repurchase.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair, Neutral
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Grey
I bought this after hearing it was a dupe for the MAC eyebrow pencil - and it definitely is! In fact, I even like like this one better! My MAC pencil (in LIngering) cracked off a few times but this one never has. It glides on smooth and the colour is perfect for my brows. So yeah, love it! The brush on the opposite end of the pencil, however, is useless. The bristles are too close together.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Normal, Tan, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Other, Other
Eyes: Black
Maybelline Define-A-Brow in dark brown has, unfortunately, been discontinued :( It was my favorite alternative for MAC's brow pencil in Spiked. Per Maybelline, the dark brown tone was not selling enough. It's a shame because there are no dark shades to cater to women of color.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Very Dry, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Brown, Wavy, Coarse
Eyes: Brown
I've had this product for about 2 months now and I still have quite a bit left. I had black eyebrows so I use the darkest color which is called Dark Brown. This color is alright for me but I wish there was a black because sometimes it's obvious that I am wearing this. I actually like the comb because it's great for travel when I don't want to bring too many items with me. The reason I gave this a 4 is because I don't like that when you take out some product you cant put it back in so you have to be careful when you twist out the product because you can't twist it back in. Other than that I would repurchase this, I just wish that there was a darker color but I can live with this.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Black
If I remember correctly, I paid less than 8 bucks and i've had this for about two months and I'm lovin' everyday! I don't like that you twist the product out but it makes sense since it is rather soft which makes transferring to skin easy and a light touch is good enough :) I tend to use quite a lot and i'm not filling in that much but i think that has something to do with the softness again.
I use brown and have very dark brown hairs that have pretty much no red and if I put too much 'out of line' it tends to appear a bit reddish brown but when blended well and lightly put on open areas is fine and a great match! Great for quick on the go but be careful anyways and don't be sloppy because it gets dark very fast!
Age: 44-55
Skin: Combination, Fair, Neutral
Hair: Brown, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Other
I really like this and use a color a shade lighter than my hair, Dark Blonde. It's easy to apply, lasts and the packaging is fine to me except for the comb on the end, I don't ever use it.
Age: 44-55
Skin: Sensitive, Medium, Neutral
Hair: Brown, Wavy, Fine
Eyes: Hazel
I bought the lightest color and while it's okay I think the pencil is a little too thin and hard. In addition it's not such a bargain because you get very little for the price. I found the comb to be pretty useless; I'd much prefer a spoolie. And although the Maybelline taupe color was okay, I found the brown color in the Clinique brow powder to match my hair color better so it sometimes pays to put up with the annoying dept store sales associates.
Overall in my search to find a substitute to what I was using previously (Chantecaille's eyebrow pencil) I found Clinique's brow powder to be the best bargain in my neck of the woods compared to my old love, Chantecaille's eyebrow pencil which was rather expensive and now very hard to find in my area without ordering it. I've been using Clinique's brow powder for over a month without a dent in it and it looks very natural on my brows and it's easy to work with, plus it holds up to heat and humidity.

Iwata: Wii U price not the problem, games will save the day (and princess)
A restrictive price-tag isn't what's harming Wii U sales says CEO, citing stronger performance of Premium console.
A restrictive price-tag isn't what's harming Wii U sales says CEO, citing stronger performance of Premium console.
Nintendo's consoles have sold 269m while handhelds are at 385m, but can history help Nintendo now?
President Iwata says the Wii U will remain region leaks, despite protests from fans to lift country-to-country restrictions
In something of a surprising move, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has issued a written apology to the first wave of Nintendo 3DS buyers, following the recent hardware price cut.
The latest news about the successor to Nintendo's Wii – currently codenamed 'Project Café' – is that the Japanese gaming company plans to stick with traditional buttons and directional pads (d-pads).
Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has admitted concern over 3DS sales and thinks the company needs to work harder to win over the gaming public regarding the usefulness of the device.
Nintendo's president Satoru Iwata has insisted that he will not be lured into a war of words over the newly announced Sony NGP, after a joke about the iPad was used against him last year.
Despite originally promising that the new Nintendo 3DS eShop would arrive at the same time as the console's launch in March, Nintendo has now delayed the launch of the new game download store till May.
Nintendo's president hopes that Hollywood movie studios will embrace the new Nintendo 3DS in order to promote 3D movie trailers.

Although an report, in early May, showed Smith partying hard in a New York nightclub with singer/girlfriend Rihanna during the playoffs, two sources are coming forward claiming that Smith is also using coke, claiming that Smith is hooked to the stuff.
"My source is the connect for his coke dealer uptown and JR is cooping $1,200 worth of blow every two, three days when in town. Personal use... Dude was sick from it," the source claims.
The NBA, during the regular season, gives four drug test to its players. Most NBA players are giving the heads up when a drug test is coming their way. If JR is indeed hooked on coke, then the reality is that the coke would be present in his system for 72 hours [3 days] before fading away.

Did Sisko ever break the Prime Directive?

Re: Did Sisko ever break the Prime Directive?
Of course sneezing is a violation of the Prime Directive. You're contaminating their ecosystem with your alien germs!
To the Emissary role... yes you said it yourself he discouraged it... at first. Later he didn't and fully embraced it. That's text book interference.
The Tosk incident wasn't a violation because he let him on the station. It was interference when Sisko underhandedly help O'brien break Tosk out so the Hunters wouldn't get him.
ITPM was textbook internal interference. It doesn't matter that they had prior conflicts with the Dominion, they weren't a part of the war at that point, and Sisko and Garak underhandedly manipulated the Romulan political system to force the Romulan Star Empire to enter the war. Garak took it a step further but that was what Sisko was setting out to do from the teaser of that episode. If that's not internal interference, what is?

Valentine's Day is meant to be spent with that special someone you love, but for many that special someone is fighting overseas. Wednesday night, Mountain Warrior family members celebrated Valentine's Day together in London with a special dinner and party.
They are wives, mothers, and daughters and many of them haven't seen the important men in their lives in months.
"He just made specialist the other day. We're so proud of him, very proud of him," said Melvin and Margaret Hoskins whose son is overseas.
But these Mountain Warrior families say even if they can't spend Valentine's Day with their soldier, they won't be spending it alone.
"It helps because I can help people and that's good and it helps because I'm not spending tonight alone," said Mimi Huntley whose husband is overseas.
"I have made so many friends, I have made friendships that will last forever and relationships and bonds and without these girls I don't know where I would be," said Reanna Johns.
Many say what made this day so special was seeing a video message from their loved one.
"It's awesome, I'm so excited, I haven't seen mine yet but I'm waiting and I want to take my personal time and do that," Johns said.
But for these families everyone had the same message to send.
Many of the families we spoke with say their Mountain Warrior will get the chance to come home for a few weeks later this year so now they say they are just counting down the days until then.

All of the examples I've found so far to upload a file with PHP involve:
- Choosing a file
- Pressing a submit button to upload it (using post).
Here are a few: Example 1 Example 2.
Is there a way to simply submit the file immediately after it's been chosen so the user doesn't have to click the "Upload" button? I know this is possible. Look at Dropbox's website, or Google Drive. I'm not sure if they use PHP, though.
