Re: Jim Haslett as St. Louis Rams coach ... are fans willing?
You know, it does not have to be used to defend haslett. It can be used to defend the ideal that the roster plays more of a key role than any coaches past records or rankings. Otherwise Smith would have the defense his past record indicates simply because he is "Mike Smith DC Extraordinaire" with past top 10 defensive rankings.
The roster is a big key and you just admitted as much. Yet in one case it is sound logic and the other it is not. That's Bull****!
What significant players have the Rams added to a defensive roster that was at rock bottom when haslett took the job? Name one defensive stud they have aquired? You can't because there aren't any to name. Over the past 3 seasons they've drafted 10 defensive players; 3 of which are above average and have made contributions. They added spoon who plays out of position and some older guys that are past their prime but come at a cheap price.

Re: Jim Haslett as St. Louis Rams coach ... are fans willing?
I understand your basic argument about needing players and clearly the Rams need better players on defense - as do my Falcons.
Having said that (using my Falcons as an example), if Falcons defense is not any better three years from now and Brian Van Gorder(BVG) is the defensive coordinator for all three years, I'm going to place a lot of blame on BVG - now, I may place some blame on the GM as well if personnel has not been upgraded significantly, but I will be dayumed if I would make BVG the Falcons head coach if I was firing Mike Smith.......
I guess when you break down my basic argument "against Haslett" it really just comes down to this - I don't think Haslett has a track record of success and I want my new head coach to have that (at whatever level - position coach, coordinator or head coach). Its arguable as to why Haslett has not had a lot of success and I suppose you could blame the General Managers of the the New Orleans Saints and the St. Louis Rams and to some degree you would be right.......And, its certainly not beyond the realm of possibility that the Rams could hire Jim Haslett as head coach and he could end up turning the franchise around and being a good head coach....................I just would not make that "bet" myself....
Fair enough?

Re: Jim Haslett as St. Louis Rams coach ... are fans willing?
Well said, Falconator.
Quick q. for you as I get pumped/informed for the playoffs & I get to enjoy the games on a more dispassionate level; how do you account for the fact that The Falcons have indeed improved dramatically in sacks this year; from 30th to 11th? There haven't been many personnel changes up front. Is Abraham just having a monster year or has BVG changed the scheme?
It's a given that having a better O helps so that teams have to score more points & more quickly to stay with you guys now but is there something else going on?

Re: Jim Haslett as St. Louis Rams coach ... are fans willing?
You have not offered anything else that isn't as easily discounted as it is counted.
Once again, just so the record is straight:
I will be happy with whatever devaney decides, whether it is haslett or the latest greatest coordinator that the majority of fans think is 'sexy' because he has great players to work with.
As a Rams fan, I will support Devaney's decision until I see reason not to.

Re: Jim Haslett as St. Louis Rams coach ... are fans willing?
1) Rest for Abraham - the defensive coordinator is only using Abe on about 50-60% of the defensive snaps. John Abraham in the past has had a tendency for his body to break down and miss a few games here and there. Brian Van Gorder used the "less is more" philosophy with John Abraham and it has worked very well - I think he has 16.5 sacks.
2) Fast starts by the offense/playing with the lead - anytime you can make a team "one-dimensional" and put them in predictable passing downs then its bound to boost the sacks. I think that accounts for a lot. Little known factoid: Falcons have scored more points in the 1st quarter than any other team in the NFL.
3) Time of Possession - because the Falcons have dominated this stat this year, it has allowed the defensive unit to rest.
So, those would be my reasons for increased sacks......The reason why I am suprised by the stat is because very few other players other than John Abraham have had many sacks.

Re: Jim Haslett as St. Louis Rams coach ... are fans willing?
one HUGE area of improvement was the Falcons offensive line. They were better at run blocking and pass protection. I attribute many factors to this starting with:
1) Matt Ryan - very good at recognizing blitzes and getting rid of the ball quickly
2) Michael Turner - O-Line more motivated to block for a horse like Turner
3) Paul Boudreau - very good offensive line coach who instilled a "tough" attitude
4) Offensive Linemen themselves just elevating their play......
The only changes to offensive line personnel from last year - Harvey Dahl started all season this year (he only started half of the previous year for Kynan Forney). The next change was Sam Baker - but he was oft-injured this year.
Falcons offensive line was arguably as bad as the Rams offensive line in 2007 & 2008 a year ago. The above made the difference. I don't know what the stats for "sacks allowed" by an offensive line but I bet Atlanta was in the "top 10" and probably closer to "top 5" - previous year was probably in the 25th-30th range - if anybody has the stats please post.....
So, I think the offensive line play was a huge part of Falcons improvement - I think Matt Ryan helped a lot in this area - we also ran the "no-huddle" offense which helped.

Re: Jim Haslett as St. Louis Rams coach ... are fans willing?
You keep saying all I offer is my "gut feeling" but mostly what I offer is Jim Haslett's record. You seem to want me to "mathematically prove" why Jim Haslett should not be the choice. Not sure how I am supposed to go about doing that... Not sure you can do that for any head coach candidate. What are your standards?
Let's flip it around: Ferter, make your case why Jim Haslett should be kept - and please offer more than the players petition
-01-02-2009 #83
Re: Jim Haslett as St. Louis Rams coach ... are fans willing?
A good opinion at that too! It makes sense JJ. ...Martz + Bulger, Holt (assuming he returns), Jax and Pace. Coach Ellard, etc. The offense would improve I do believe.
Given our options and the Rams players position on Haslett, I'm still very willing to see him return as HC.

Re: Jim Haslett as St. Louis Rams coach ... are fans willing?
Thx for the insight, Falconator. Makes sense to me. Have you noticed anything about BVG's tendencies regarding blitzes,etc, that we should be looking at vs The Cards? Or does he tend to play "honestly" up front?
To be fair to our friend, Ferter, I think there is a strong argument to be made that few coaches could have done much better with the other factors in play at Rams Park. I just see very little evidence anywhere in his career record to indicate that he would have done better without the extra burden. He certainly didn't do much under the circumstances. That is a fact. Giving him a "do-over cuz it wasn't fair" seems like dodgy logic.
I keep forgetting to post this but your mention of the players petition reminds me: I think a similar thing happened back in the 60s for The Rams. The HC ( Allen?) was canned,then brought back after a locker room rebellion. The Rams sucked the following year & he got sacked again. Any of the wrinkly Rams out there remember this?

Re: Jim Haslett as St. Louis Rams coach ... are fans willing?
The record does not hold water as definitive proof. There are far too many examples that prove it is not highly reliable, let alone should it be the single deciding factor.
Refer back to the belichick record. After 5 seasons with the browns the record was 36-44. Several seasons later he was the DC of the Jets under parcells and hired by the pats as head coach. (of course this leaves out the fiasco of him being the Jets head coach for 24 hours)
Why? According to your logic he had already failed as a head coach. Look at the record.
After 3 seasons with the pats the record was 25-23 and 61-67 overall. According to your logic he should have been fired. Look at the record.
There are many examples like this. I'm not going to do all the research for you considering I only need one prime example to easily discount what you so desperately want to hang your hat on.
The standards belong to devaney. I believe he said the number one thing he was looking for was leadership qualities. Yet you don't seem to want hear that message. You think it should be based on the flimsy things you want it to be based on. If you read the post that bigred wrote it offers good examples of these qualities.

Re: Jim Haslett as St. Louis Rams coach ... are fans willing?
the whole purpose (in my opinion) of a messageboard is for "fans" to be able to share their thoughts and viewpoints about their teams or other teams they are interested. At least that is what most people do......take a side.....make a stand........dare to be wrong........but "get in the game".......
so far, you claim to "discredit" my attempts to say Haslett should not be the head coach - but you don't offer one single thing as to why he(Haslett) should be kept. I think you said you have no opinion on it either way......is that right?
You also keep talking about the players and only the players really matter so, I don't see why you should even be on the messageboard until the draft and free agency because it seems like you don't really think the coach matters at all.....
I think you are just goading me so I probably just need to drop it and quit playing this game......

Re: Jim Haslett as St. Louis Rams coach ... are fans willing?
I think that Haslett can lead the team, the problem is Shaw and his stale ways of doing club buisness. Surround him with good coordinators, draft well pick up an FA or 2 or 3 lol. Sign him for only 2 years and let Billy rebuild this team.

This mascara is waaaay too wet. So much comes out on the wand that, even if I wipe it down, it's still too much to work with. All I get is stuck-together dark lashes. The formula is very smooth and dark - I'll give it that. But it's not particularly volumizing or lengthening, and not worth the work. Will definitely not repurchase.

This came in an EL palette I got from Costco & it's wonderful!! I love EL products but I cannot often afford good quality makeup so it's a rare treat I do savor. I have been using this for awhile, I plan to extricate every last bit from the tube, even if that means holding on to it for a bit longer than is normally rec for mascara. I wish my little tube was waterproof, but it wears well, is dramatic & very black, very classy looking, I love this mascara! Separates, thickens, defines, & curls all very well. I can see why this is a best seller. I don't normally wear HE mascara so like I said this mascara is a real treat to wear :) :) :)

Like everyone else, I received a sample of this (in black) as part of an Estee Lauder gift-with-purchase. One swipe and wiggle through my upper lashes and my Diorshow Extase, Chanel Inimitable Intense, and YSL Babydoll mascaras became tragically and expensively obsolete. The Sumptuous mascara imparts weightless curled length, as if you just happen to have fluttery and immaculately spaced natural long lashes, and just enough volume without hard spidery thickness or ANY clumping, then wears all day without smudging or fall-out. I also apply to my outer bottom lashes most days. I hope you don't have to cry in public with this mascara on, but if you do, I can tell you anecdotally it won't run down your face. The formula doesn't seem to deteriorate or dry out over time, and I've been able to use my sample for longer than I care to admit. I plan to purchase the full-size in brown (my preferred color), and to try the waterproof version (only available in black). HG for sure.

I didn't quite like this mascara. I prefer a more natural defined look. And this product made my eye lashes stick together too much. Also too much mascara got layered on at a time; cleaning the brush was taking a long time.

I'm a mascara junkie love them all be it a volumizing, defining or a lengthening mascara. This mascara is hands down the best of all the ones I have. It gives me beautiful defined voluminous long lashes without having them look too clumpy or over the top. It's perfect for casual and formal occasions. Funny thing happened to me when I bought it the first time, I initially got a sample and loved it so when I went to purchase it, as I was walking to the Estée Lauder stand I was going through my bag looking for the sample to show it to the sales lady, I didn't find it but before I could speak the lady handed me the mascara I wanted!! She said its their best seller and most of the customers rummage through their bags looking for the sample to show her so she knew what I wanted.

Received a sample as a gift from somebody. I will most definitely be purchasing the full sized. I love this mascara so much. So much better than the overly hyped mascaras at sephora. I have been reaching for this every day. It gives such a full, lengthy look to the lashes. I love it! It doesn't smudge, very easy to remove with water, doesn't clump, seriously in love.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Dry, Olive, Warm

So I bought this mascara on a whim while I was at a MAC warehouse sale(they also had Estée Lauder, Clinique, Bobbi Brown and a few other brands because I believe they are all somewhat family companies). I paid $12 for it and it is honestly worth every cent. I wish I had gotten more because this mascara is soo amazing! I work at a makeup counter and customers are constantly complementing my eyelashes: ) definitely give it a go!

DataControls 101 Part 2: Why you should love Datasource controls
I've been scouring the forums recently trying to find problems people encounter when using the data controls. One thing that I found is mostly asked for but is kind of a hidden art:
How do I use the GridView/ListView/DetailsView.... without a Datasource control? (and still get all the fancy features offered).
Now I've always know that you can do this but I decided to explore how much is involved in making this stuff to work. This sample shows a GridView using raw Linq queries in C#. Let's dive into the code:
Data Controls 101
I've worked with asp.net a bit at school before I came to Microsoft. Being the "data dev" as you would imagine, I get lots of bugs that have to do with the data (datasource/databound) controls. I also scan the internal and external forums and try to help customers find solutions to their problems. This blog post is the first of a series on common scenarios using data controls, that I call Data Controls 101.
First Post
Hey everyone, my name is David Fowler and I'm new to the ASP.NET team. I've been an intern here in Redmond for the last 2 summers and I'm glad to be back as a FTE (Full Time Employee in microspeak). My responsibilities include all things data related to ASP.NET. This includes things like the Datasource and Databound controls as well as Dynamic Data. I look forward to posting some interesting stuff in the near future!

John Hall, chief executive of Essex Wildlife Trust, opens wildlife haven
/ Southend
AN idyllic wildlife haven has been created in the heart of south Essex.
Essex Wildlife Trust officially opened the restored wetland at Lower Raypits near Canewdon.
Funded by Natural England, the Environment Agency and Essex Wildlife Trust, the new site retains winter rainfall to ensure sufficient water for breeding wetland birds in the summer.
As well as providing a habitat for rare birds such as the avocet, oystercatcher and redshank, the reserve stores heavy winter rainfall to alleviate flooding and summer drought.
Mark Iley, biodiversity co-ordinator at EssexWildlife Trust, said: "The site is looking fantastic. It was used by thousands of wildfowl in winter and is now successfully providing breeding habitat for threatened bird species.
"The site will continue to improve as it matures, safeguarding wildlife and having a positive effect on the wider landscape and the environment, making an important contribution to this wonderful estuary and beyond."
John Hall, chief executive of Essex Wildlife Trust, opened the new habitat.
A spokesman for the trust said: "The project is also of high significance given the increased weather extremes of our climate.
"It is assisting with flood management and providing an answer as to how heavy winter rain can be stored, rather than wasted, and used to alleviate summer drought.
"The innovative technology is expected to be applied at many other sites across the country.

Good ole American comfort food. Ya know what? I was just sitting here wondering how the Japanese reduce calories from THEIR food.
This is very close to Flemmings but I found it too salty. We are a family that doesn't add much salt other than while cooking. After adding the two tsp. of kosher salt, it was so salty, I threw it out. For us, the saltiness of the cheese would have been plenty. You could add additional salt right before pouring it into the oven dish so next time I will wait for additional salt until that step.
By far best macaroni and cheese i have ever made. Super easy to make.
Sounds great but the restaurant recipe says it uses leeks. Has anyone tried this with leeks?
This is the most AMAZING Macaroni and Cheese I have ever had. I have been to Fleming's and it truly mirrors their recipe. This is an "adult" version of a child hood favorite! Thank you, this has become a classic for our Holiday's! :)
Fantastic! It definitely takes longer than the box, but it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Absolutely worth the effort.
I made this for a Super Bowl party and everyone enjoyed it...I substituted 1/4 lb of chipotle cheddar instead of the 1/4 lb of regular cheddar for a little extra kick...I can't wait to make it again.
My husband made this for Thanksgiving. It was RIDICULOUSLY good!
Even though it takes a little longer then I would like to prepare, it was well worth it. Right on the money and a big hit with the family. Mmmmmmm!!!

Inside the world of secure operating systems
Anyone who has been following the operating system market for long has probably heard about secure operating systems. But what exactly does this term mean? After all, security is purportedly a goal of most operating systems.
Generally, the term "secure operating system" refers to a system that falls into one of the following two categories: hardened and trusted OSes. Although the end goal -- a secure operating environment -- is the same, each approach is different. But do these offerings really deliver on their promises, or is "secure operating system" just another vendor buzzword?

For the sake of understanding, I would like to reiterate my hypothesis: A player can get what he wants out of SWTOR effectively without paying any real money but instead by using the GTN and other in-game means to buy items from the Cartel Market. But as we know with every experiment, the hypothesis gives the experimenter a goal. Right or wrong, I wanted to see the experiment to the end. As it turns out, my hypothesis was not completely right, nor was it completely wrong. I discovered that if I wanted to "win" at SWTOR's free-to-play, I could not approach it as I would a game that I bought off a store shelf and just started playing.

I discovered that if I wanted to "win" at SWTOR's free-to-play, I could not approach it as I would a game that I bought off a store shelf and just started playing.
Not everything was bad about the leveling process. Sure there were some oddball items like not being about to accept cash boxes from quests. (I guess that's understandable given that it's a free account and BioWare wants to avoid gold farming.) But overall, the first 15 or so levels worked out pretty well. If you're looking for a new MMO and haven't played SWTOR yet, then the free-to-play game up to about the time you get your ship can be fun and enjoyable, and it'll remind you of how well BioWare can make a video game.
A few months back, a friend of mine attended the Dallas Cantina Tour. Much like those who attended the one in Seattle this weekend, he was able to get some one-on-one time with the developers, asking his questions directly to the folks putting together the code. He asked in passing about free-to-play and some of the restrictions placed on free players. And in a statement that won't be much surprise to anyone, the developers admitted the free game is intended as a trial of sorts. Although a player can play the whole game without spending any money, he's not really supposed to. This is quite evident with the first two planets being on par with how they played at launch. That also explains the major slowdown after the player gains his ship. Beyond level 15, a player steps into the pay-to-play arena.
On Taris and the following planet of Nar Shaddaa, the experience gap did not matter. The point loss was easily offset by adding flashpoints and the weekly allotted warzones. However, I felt the slowdown on Tatooine right away. As I said in the fourth free-to-play experiment article, I had finished Nar Shaddaa on level; however, when I reached Tatooine (the next planet, mind you), I was two levels under the mobs I was fighting. Frustration set in and never let up. Eventually, in the middle of Balmorra, I burned out and absolutely could not finish the leveling process.
Although there were little annoyances from time to time up to that point, it was evident that I was being punished for not paying for the game. If free-to-play was how you were supposed to play SWTOR, then it was obvious that something was wrong. But as my friend found out at the community cantina, the free version of SWTOR is really no more than an extended trial, and it's intended that way. That mindset caused the F2P model to falter.
Had the developers intended F2P to be a viable way to play the game, they would not have included an XP penalty. As I have mentioned many times, if you're aren't a customer, you are content. And as a free player, I'm absolutely willing to accept that. My job is to enhance the experience for players who are paying for the game. However, that is impossible to do if I am not given the tools to do so. The fact that I cannot level on par with a subscriber makes for a giant hurdle in my being content for that player. Instead, I've now become a burden. Not only am I not enjoying the game, the person I'm playing with isn't enjoying it either.
Once you hit max level or are return to the game for free after having been subscribed, the field changes. Of course, I believe the restrictions placed on returning players are ridiculous. No matter the case, I don't believe that returning players should have been made to feel as if they were going to have to buy the game again just to get back to the level of entertainment they had before they left. As an armchair developer, I would have given all returning players the unlocks they needed to have a game equal to the one they started with, such as hide-head-slot unlock, two quickbar unlocks, and the artifact-equipment unlock. A good chunk of those players paid $60 or more for the game, and having to pay that again is a huge turn-off.
Preferred and free players at max level do become content for paying players rather easily, to my complete surprise. Although it's subscribers who buy the most Cartel Coins, free players buy the unlocks, and I would not be surprised if they are the ones who buy a good chunk of the other Cartel items on the GTN. A max-level preferred player can afford buying unlocks and weekly passes on the GTN, thereby allowing subscribers and Cartel Coin buyers to turn their real-life money into in-game currency.
In conclusion, I believe I have discovered the ultimate path to take full advantage of SWTOR's F2P model. If you're not interested in playing some of the more exotic species in the SWTOR universe, then level up to 16 or 18 and subscribe for a month. This will increase your XP gain as well as unlock more flashpoints and warzones (although when 2.4 launches you'll be able to do as many WZs as you like anyway). Then at max level, buy all the unlocks you like (account-wide unlocks are the best) and also buy some escrow unlocks as well. When your month is up, you can unsub and not suffer the loss of many of the things you became accustomed to.
If I had started to play the game when it switched to F2P, I might have stuck it out because it's Star Wars. However, this free-to-play model is not for me. I don't like the restrictions, and I am not patient enough to handle playing the market the way my guildie Thallahan does. Unfortunately, even after all the misconceptions, I still think that playing the game as merely a preferred player is far too much for me. It becomes a second job. For me, games, even MMOs, should be mostly about fun.
I commend anyone who can have fun with SWTOR's free-to-play model, and I'd really like to read what you have to say in the comments. But for now, I consider this experiment closed, and in Mythbusters-style, let's call this one not busted but certainly plausible.

In 2014, the electrical wholesale market was estimated to have grown by 4% compared with 2013. In 2011 and 2012, the market was supported by price rises driven by high raw material costs, development of high value technologies such as LED lighting and expansion into the renewables sector. This positive trend has continued through to 2014, though at a significantly slower pace.
Overall factors supporting the market include growth in specialist markets, product development, demand for additional services and non-core products, and evolving legislation leading to a requirement for higher specification and new types of products, in addition to an improving economic and construction background. Factors negatively affecting market growth include wide ranging government spending cuts, continued low levels of construction, increased price competition, a growing threat from competitive channels and longer product life-spans reducing the replacement market.
The market is dominated by three large companies which together account for around two thirds of the electrical wholesale market. Electrical wholesalers remain market leaders in the distribution of electrical products and are particularly strong in core product areas such as electrical accessories and lighting equipment. Direct sales and specialist distributor channels are the most significant competitors to the electrical wholesalers with electronic component distributors, trade catalogues operations, internet retailers and merchants also significant.
The electrical wholesale market is expected to continue to grow in 2015, although at a modest rate, with current forecasts for construction output and for the economy in general suggesting that the private sector will see slow recovery. From 2016 onwards, the market increases at average growth levels of 2-3% per annum.

Thread: Rams dead money
-06-12-2004 #1
Rams dead money
I thought this wasn't the greatest thing:
ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli reports the St. Louis Rams have a $4.7 million salary cap charge this season due to the contract of former QB Kurt Warner.
BUT then I read this...HOLY CRAP.
ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli reports the San Francisco ***** have a substantial salary cap charge this season due to the contracts of former QB Jeff Garcia ($10.3 million) and WR Terrell Owens ($4.3 million). In total, the ***** have $26.96 million in "dead money" assigned to players no longer with the team this season.

Re: Rams dead money
Yeah, the Whiners have a lot of dead money this season, but should have a lot of free cap space next year, if I'm understanding their roster moves correctly.
It's like if we would have released Warner prior to June 1st. We would have had $11 million or more in dead money this season, but no dead money from him next year.

Re: Rams dead money
the whiners are smart to take all the pain right now. they arent going to be competitive this year anyway so they are best off to give themselves maximum flexibility next year by minimizing their future dead money. This is basically the only way to rebuild in the nfl. Of course, the smart teams like the rams and the eagles have avoided the temptation to overpay for aging guys over the last few years, thereby limiting the risk of dead money at all.
Dead money is a very underated and important stat in the nfl in the cap era. If two people each recieve 80 marbles to start a season, and one guy loses 27 of those marbles before the season starts, it is highly unlikely that he is going to beat the team that started with all of its marbles. Not impossible, just unlikely.
I believe that the rams and eagles have been at or near the top of the dead money list for the last 5 years and the records reflect it.

Re: Rams dead money
I belive there still his dead money on him next year. By cutting hium after June 1 we get to split the 11 million over 2 years. I THINK I am correct on this. Anyone?

You are correct, the cap hit on warner is spread out between this year and next year due to the fact that we waited until after june 1 to waive him.

Re: Rams dead money
Warners dead money for next year makes it all that much more important to get The Big Man signed to a long term deal before the season starts so that we get cap relief in 2005.
The combination of warners dead money and a 8.4 million cap number on pace if we had to tag him again in 2005 would be very tough on the squad, and that doesnt even count the questionable cap situation involving damione lewis and the fact that polley is an unrestricted free agent at the end of the year.

Re: Rams dead money
I think the Rams have generally done a good job of avoiding "dead money" problems. The Warner situation was unusual, and, in his case, I think the Rams did what they had to do by letting him go when they did. Hopefully, the same thing won't happen with other players who received big contracts (Faulk, Holt, Little).

When Faith is Attacked
It was not the stones thrown by his tormentors that made him suffer most, he said; it was the silence of his friends.

Our friends at the Huffington Post have had some fun with video sound bites from yesterday's GOP debate.
Favorite line comes from Texas Gov. Rick Perry who said, "I am the Tim Tebow of the Iowas caucuses."
So, for your Friday afternoon viewing pleasure, we give you "Last Republican Debate of 2011: Out of Context":

Someone didn't do his research.
On Tuesday, political commenters reported that GOP presidential contender Mitt Romney has been using a catchphrase in his stump speeches that the Ku Klux Klan favored in the 1920s.
When the white supremacist group used "Keep America American," it was to rally people against blacks American, gay people, Catholics and Jews. When Romney's used it, as he did in this Los Angeles Times piece, it was to promise that as president he would "keep America American with the principles that made us the greatest nation on Earth."
Romney's isn't the first campaign mishap that came out of a borrowed slogan. While a candidate's political slogan can be key to an effective campaign — as President Obama's "Yes We Can" slogan was — many politicians have shown by example how precarious slogans can be if you don't do your research.

Matsuzaka closer to actually pitching
Daisuke Matsuzaka's incremental return picked up some speed today as he threw off a mound in the bullpen to a catcher standing after throwing more long toss.
"Dice had a great day," Terry Francona said. "That was as good a day as you could possibly have. I don't think you can throw a ball like that and not be totally healthy."
Matsuzaka will have an easier day tomorrow then another good workout on Wednesday. He hopes to throw a regular bullpen by the end of the week. That could be Thursday.
"I want it to be better the next time," he said through an interpreter. "But everything feels good."
It is evident, and Francona essentially admitted this, that Matsuzaka will not be ready for Opening Day. But with the days off in the schedule, the Red Sox can use a four-man rotation for two weeks until he is ready.
Mike Cameron (left groin) did not run today but took batting practice in the cages and on the field and felt fine. "Everything is good," he said. "I'd be playing if we had a real game. We're just being careful."
Turns out Tug Hulett has a sore shoulder and is behind in terms of throwing.
Mike Lowell took some batting practice today but wanted to do it in the cages. "It sounds like it went real well," Francona said.
When could Lowell be ready for a game?
"I don't know. That's as honest as I can be," Francona said. "There has to be progression. Not only with his thumb but with running the bases and repeating some things. I don't think we can put a timetable on that. The next five or six days, I'm not sure that's realistic."

"Traditional family holiday on English South Coast"
Lovely apartment in fantastic location. Private parking space at rear of property was a bonus as it saved us trying to find a space at the front or in the nearby public car park. We used the car very little during the week as there is so much on the doorstep to do. The gardens to the front of the property were fantastic - kids loved the playground plus the tennis courts and putting green. There are not many places you can wave to the kids playing tennis while cooking their tea! Seafield is an extremely comfortable apartment with everything you need for an enjoyable stay. It was just a shame we had to leave!

Best Place to Buy Latin Music (2007)
Casino Records
This roomy record shop packs in everything from classic Spanish zarzuelas to vintage Argentine tangos within the walls of its Calle Ocho locale. In Miami for more than twenty years, Casino bills itself as "the paradise for record collectors," and it's got the musical goods to prove it. Limited-edition box sets of rare Spanish folk music from groups like Los Chavales de España abound, as do discs by acts from hard-to-find genres such as folklore Andino (Andes folk), Latin spoken-word poetry, and Sixties Latin pop. If an item isn't in stock, you can order it on the premises, by phone, or through Casino's Website (it's in Spanish). The shop also carries an extensive DVD collection that covers perennial live concert favorites such as Celia Cruz and the Fania All-Stars in Africa and an assortment of foreign films, particularly from the Italian and French cinema (all dubbed in Spanish, of course).
