Has The SNB Restarted The Printing Press?
Submitted by George Dorgan
Huge rise in Currency Reserves: The SNB has restarted the printing press
The game for the Swiss National Bank seems to have changed completely. Again the central bank had increase money supply, as measured by deposits at the SNB by local banks and by the Swiss confederation, this time even by 13219 mil. francs (source). This money printing implies that the SNB had to buy in Euros in similar quantities in order maintain the floor.
Already last week the central bank had to shift its strategy from selling Euros to buying Euros. The SNB managed to reduce money by 35446 mil. (i.e. sell mostly euros) between Sep 9, 2011 and May 11, 2012. In the last two week it had to increase money supply by nearly 17000 mil. CHF, loosing nearly 50% of all "gains" in the previous money supply reduction.
We have speculated that the SNB will double or triple the Forex reserves before it gives in and the floor will break.
At the current speed of 13 bln per week, this will result in 676 bln. CHF per year, i.e. they will have tripled money supply and currency reserves in one year. This sum exceeds slightly the Swiss GDP, implying that a break of the floor from 1.20 to 1.10 (about 10%) on the basis of 50% Euros in the SNB reserves would result in a loss of around 5% of GDP at the central bank. Moreover, in the week ending in May 25th, nothing really extraordinary happened, what would happen in case of a Greek euro exit?
Is the Swiss debt soon rising more quickly than Italy's one ?
If this SNB loss is realized, it would imply an increase of Swiss total debt (here the Swiss debt clock) by around 5% in one year. This is barely better than the 5.4% yield Italy has to pay on its debt services and is only weighted by the fact that Switzerland has currently negative yields on bills and a small primary surplus between 3 and 6 bln francs per year, abstracting from the small interest part).
As opposed to Italy, Switzerland cannot devalue the debt via inflation, since Swiss inflation is about zero and Italian inflation at 2.5%. On the contrary a break of the floor would even revalue the debt via deflation,
Swiss laws prohibit the state from taking too much, formulated in the famous Swiss debt break. The only institution that can do, what it wants, is the Swiss National Bank.
Should the floor continue to hold, it is possible that even bonds with higher maturities (up to 5 years) for the Swiss confederation (10 years yield currently at 0.64%) will have negative yields.
The SNB seems to be really anxious about this sudden rise in demand for the franc, they have even announced capital controls for the case of a euro break-up.

How? We are approaching he best part of the trading day. The part where they start doing push ups on the face of PMs while stocks stay high and yields are anchored near all time lows. Brilliant!
Exactly, ZIRP is printing or essentially "free money", just not for you. If you really believe that there is no real cost for creating capital without creating anything of real value, I have a few bridges for sale that you may be interested in.
The Swiss policy of neutrality does not apply to currency wars.
The EUR/CHF should get busy again...or not.
look at USD/CHF
"Has The SNB Restarted The Printing Press?"
Does a bear sh........????
Never mind.
This isn't surprising, it's something people want.
Isn't the Swiss Franc pegged to the Euro? If so, this is getting wild.
That's why you should forget about the CHF...prefer Singapore Dollars and Norwegian Krones---real AAA currencies...!!!
Sooner or later somebody is going to have to throw in the towel and let the other idiots destroy their own currency. Of course this is all part of the larger plan for a world currency.
Correct, but first all currencies must come to parity, as in, they will all be worthless, must occur at the same time, then all eyes on The Fed, the ECB, and the IMF.
Got to love this crazy fiat world we live in. Here are the Swiss - the bankers supreme - having to print their currency like mad to buy another fiat currency to offset the mad demand for their stable currency from people trying to get out of the currency the Swiss are buying like mad!!!!!
It only goes to show what a charade the whole thing has become, and how very close we are to a loss of confidence in modern currencies. Imagine if the Swiss currency was still gold backed.
All that printing seems very negative for gold. I will buy Swiss francs because as we all know, the more you print a currency, the higher its value.
I would love to start stacking swiss francs, short term a better play then gold. They will have no choice but to drop their peg by June 18th....
Amazing, and these people are supposed to be intelligent bankers. What should the rate really be? About 2 Euro's to a Franc? I went to Switzerland a couple years ago (Lake Luzerne/Mr Pilatus area) and while it was absolutely beautiful, the people are very upity - like nothing I've seen before. Talk about expensive, the place is crazy expensive - everything.
It won't hold the floor beyond the middle of summer at the latest, once confidence is lost the whole system crashes and burns - including Switzerland.
That's about the longest hourly bar on the active gold futs I've seen in a while. Anyone have any stats on odds of % price/time follow up after such a thing?
I hope they are buying gold with all these useless euros they are buying.
Committment of Traders showing commericals extreme long Swiss Francs against the speculators.
Very good post. Talking loudly (see Swiss Sunday press) about capital controls and negative interest rates is a lame attempt by the SNB to try to avoid the inevitable (break of the peg). Who would talk about introducting capital controls before enacting them? In order to prevent short-term frontrunning the SNB wouldn't "warn" markets of its intentions. So this is just another empty threat, like earlier ones (about raising the peg). After the SNB's credibility has been destroyed, markets will not fall for this one.
The CHF retains a safe haven flavour that lingers.

U.S., South Korea Said Reach Deal in Trade Talks
The U.S. and South Korea reached agreement to change automobile provisions in a pending trade deal, clearing the way for legislatures in both nations to approve the delayed accord, said a person briefed on the talks.
South Korea agreed to let the U.S. phase out its 2.5 percent tariff on automobiles over five years instead of as much as three years, a demand of Ford Motor Co., the person said, declining to be identified before an announcement. Earlier today, trade ministers for both countries reported "significant progress" at the end of four days of talks in Columbia, Maryland.
"We are going to take it back to our team to review," U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk said in an interview. Kirk declined to say if an overall agreement was reached. Korean Trade Minister Kim Jong Hoon said the two sides achieved a "significant result" and that he would provide details after returning to Seoul.
President Barack Obama demanded changes to provisions on trade in automobiles and beef for the agreement, which was completed by his predecessor in 2007. Obama and his counterpart, Lee Myung Bak, failed to reach a deal when they met in Seoul last month.
With almost $68 billion in trade between the nations, a deal would be the U.S.'s largest since the North American Free Trade Agreement in 1994 and would help President Barack Obama meet his goal of doubling American exports in five years. The accord, signed by negotiators for President George W. Bush, has languished as lawmakers complained about Korean barriers to exports of U.S. autos and beef. Ford and the United Auto Workers opposed the agreement and sought changes.
Amid high unemployment and opposition from fellow Democrats and organized labor, Obama hasn't submitted to Congress the trade pacts approved by Bush with South Korea, Colombia and Panama.

Sentencing to Be Less of a Lottery in Future
A VERY significant recent ruling by the Court of Criminal Appeal, which has the potential to have a major impact on victims of crime, probably slipped under your radar.
In fact it's had very little attention to date, but the Court's decision to effectively introduce sentencing guidelines for criminal cases, should be seen as a very welcome development both for victims of crime and the criminal justice system as a whole.
Far too often victims of crime and the wider public can be left feeling perplexed and dejected when what appears to be a lenient sentence is passed down for a very serious crime.
We have all been left scratching our heads on occasion when the perpetrator of a vicious sexual assault or violent attack is given a suspended or concurrent sentence.
UNJUST It can leave victims and their families feeling like they have been completely let down by the criminal justice system in which they have placed their trust. …

The film acts as a sequel to the 1911 novel Peter and Wendy by J. M. Barrie, focusing on a grown-up Peter Pan who has forgotten his childhood. Now known as "Peter Banning", he is a successful corporate lawyer with a wife and two children. Hook kidnaps his children, and Peter must return to Neverland and reclaim his youthful spirit in order to challenge his old enemy.
Peter Pan has become Peter Banning (Robin Williams), a 40-year-old mergers and acquisitions lawyer with a permanent scowl on his face and a cellular phone in his belt. Banning has lost any memory of being Peter Pan, and he is also in danger of losing his wife Moira (Caroline Goodall) and two children, Jack (Charlie Korsmo) and Maggie (Amber Scott). Peter and his family travel to London to visit Granny Wendy (Maggie Smith) who recalls Peter's lost youth and asks him, "Peter, dear, don't you know who you are?" With Peter's children asleep in the same bedroom where the original Peter Pan story began, there is a blinding flash. Peter comes into the room to discover a note from Captain Hook (Dustin Hoffman), informing Peter that he has kidnapped his children. Granny Wendy now tells him who he really is and encourages him to re-discover his happy thoughts, transform himself into the Peter Pan of the past, and go rescue his children. With the encouragement of Tinkerbell (Julia Roberts), Peter recalls the birth of his son and once again takes wing. Then it's off to Never Land to rescue his kids.
Interesting Food scene: When the Lost Boys begin feasting from empty plates and dishes, Peter is confused. He quickly realizes that its part of their incredible imaginations, so he joins the fun, and an epic food fight takes off. Do you remember the food fight, yes throwing colorful cakes over each other.
Let's have fun and make Rainbow cupcakes, of course without any fight.

Dr Rob Layfield's research at the University of Nottingham is funded by the MND Association. His research aims to investigate the cells waste disposal system, which could lead to new ways in how doctors manage the symptoms of the disease.
Our work focuses on the effects of SQSTM1 mutations on the structure of the protein it encodes, p62. We are also testing the idea that MND-mutant p62 is defective at mediating protein degradation via autophagy (the cells waste disposal system). Continue reading

#1 Comprehensive/Master's University in the Midwest
#2 Private Pharmacy Program in the United States
(US News and World Report)
#1 in Quality of Network and #2 in Use of Technology
#5 in Career Career Support
In 2001, Creighton University started the first and only accredited Doctor of Pharmacy Program Distance Pathway providing a full-time method to obtain this degree. This innovative pathway covers the same material as the traditional campus program, but allows students to complete coursework using distance education technology, from wherever they live. Interactions with faculty and mentors occur via conferencing software, discussion boards, internet chat rooms, e-mail, telephone, and other media.
The didactic portion of the distance pathway is taught on a semester basis. Some elements of the Distance Pathway are synchronous. Students complete laboratory courses on-campus during two- to four-week sessions during the summers.
Creighton's program reflects changes in the practice of pharmacy regarding pharmaceutical care, defined as the direct, responsible provision of medication-related care for the purpose of achieving definitive outcomes that improve a patient's quality of life. Today's pharmacy education focuses on:
The clinical component of the distance pharmacy pathway is the same as the campus pharmacy pathway. A total of eight five-week clinical rotations are required, five of which are in required subject areas, with the remaining three in elective subject areas. These unpaid clinical rotations provide experience in actual pharmacy practice. Sites for clinical rotations are available in a variety of locations throughout the country and internationally.
Graduates enter practice with strong basic knowledge, communication skills, critical thinking abilities and an empathic attitude toward their patients. Specialized clinical and internship programs are available to students who have particular interests in fields ranging from critical care to family medicine, pediatrics to gerontology, cardiology to home care and neurology to psychiatry. Graduates are prepared for employment in a wide range of health service settings including private businesses, hospitals, clinics, government, military, and academic and research institutions.
Technical Requirements for the Distance Pathway
Online Learning Readiness Assessment
Pharmacy education and pharmacy practice depends on graduates being well-versed in information technology and networked information resources. Pharmacists rely extensively on information systems for the provision of pharmaceutical care to patients. We intend to insure that our graduates are well prepared to capitalize on the opportunities that lie ahead for education, research and professional practice using advanced information technologies.
Have additional questions? Find out more about this program by contacting the admissions staff. Request more information or give us a call at 1-800-325-2830 Ext. 1.

April 25, 2013 - Products
Ancra International has developed a line of 7mm cargo strap winches it says are lighter than winches with a 9mm frame but every bit as strong.
"By heat treating a thinner, lighter frame, we maintain the same strength, WLL ratings and load capacity as our 9mm winch" said Tom Knox, Director of Engineering for Ancra's Cargo Division.
"Less weight equals more ROI" said Jim Calico, executive vice president of Sales and Marketing for Ancra's Cargo Division. "With a 30% reduction in weight over similar 9mm winches, our new line will be a great addition to our already high quality line of winches and will certainly be appealing to the operator looking to improve fuel efficiency."

Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
Glad to see he's working on his pitching.
~I know, I'm being a jerk~
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
Looks like budget constraints are keeping the Cubs from issuing Colvin and Marshall some Cubs practice gear.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
No matter how hard he works out or how much he slacks off, he always looks the same.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
guessing $ 15 mil a year
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
ESPN is reporting 3/37 for Lincecum.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
"Right-hander Tim Lincecum and the San Francisco Giants have settled their arbitration case, with the two-time NL Cy Young winner signing a $23 million, two-year contract ahead of Friday's originally scheduled hearing."
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
Hi Giants Management, here is $10 million dollars.
Warm Regards,
Tim Lincecum and my incomptetent agent.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
Not sure its incompetence. Dude is 1st year arbitration eligible and is going to get 23 million for service years 3 and 4.
As a pitcher it would seem more prudent to get all the security you can. Mark Prior was Lincecum 6 or 7 years ago.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
1 year $5 million is security for life.
He would have won and got probably $18 next year if healthy, so maybe $8 million - but that doesn't include the bonuses.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
Because his case was better than Howards'.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
No, it's not 100% certain, but I am sure if you survey around (and I bet one of the writers does) the consensus is going to be that Lincecum was going to win. Was places in voting mentioned as a criteria? The guy could simply say "here is the list of guys who won the Cy Young award in their first two full seasons:
Here's a list of the guys who didn't:
(every othe pitcher in the history of the game). Howard had won two of the major awards, he got $10 million three years ago. There are no pitching comps - I am incomprable."
Re: Mark Prior was Lincecum 6 or 7 years ago.
Mark Prior won two Cy Youngs in a row! Who knew?
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
He was the best pitcher in the NL. Maybe for only 18 months. Similar to Lincecum over the last 24 or so months.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
i hope that's not in any specific order because if it is it's loaded with retardation. good info aside from that, though.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
Of course it's not in any specific order. Castro would be first on the list if it was. Long live hype.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
s.strasburg is #31 on the list...for instance.
fwiw, the actual info in the article is top notch stuff, but the order is a little confusing.
maybe it's cuz strasburg throws an inverted-W therefore his arm is 100% gonna fall off just like john smoltz's waited 20 years to do...wait...
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
i know..i still disagree with the ranking, though.
the important part is the info and the stats along with the info is handy.

Phil Rogers is at it again...
"Starter Ted Lilly could be out until June"
where does he get his material, Dr. Nick Riviera?
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
Could be out until June? Sure and Sandberg could be the Cub Manager in June. Pujols could be out with hemorrhoid surgery until June.
Is Phil Rogers really a reporter? Lazy, dumb-ass reporter might be a better description.
I can only hope that Phil Rogers could be out with writer's block until June.
...at least Bruce Levine uses a Hendry quote (who relates his conversation with Cubs trainer Mark O'Neill regarding Lilly):
"I talked to Mark O'Neil [trainer] last week, and he said he is coming along fine," Hendry said. "If he starts April 15 that will be fine. I don't see it being anything unless there is some kind of setback that happens in camp. It was a real minor procedure. In fairness to Ted, we're not going to rush him either. If he's 95 percent on Opening Day then we will wait until he is 100 percent."
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
I, the eternal pessimist, also said June.
Just going on how Cubs report pitchers recovery times from the past, you usually add 6-8 to weeks conservative what they say.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
I, the eternal pessimist, also said June.
hmmm. Might as well skip 2010 then. Hope next offseason is better.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
*shakes fist*
damn you dusty!! he threw 119 pitches in a game in late sept...1 more pitch and he'd be out until at least 2011. at least we have that to take comfort in.

Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
Is it just me or didn't it seem like the Cubs had the best offense they ever had just 2 seasons ago?
Hopefully Rudy will preach patience at the plate.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
Hope Dawson got some money for that as well, after the settlement.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
the comments are brain-hurty...but most comments on articles are.
I love the one where the guy goes on for two paragraphs talking about how superior defenders know how to position themselves. Sammy Sosa is the only MLB player I know who got to position himself in the field, everyone else stands where the bench coach tells him to.
A little blurb by a blog I hadn't heard of on SIERRA and the Cubs.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
W/R/T #3, my understanding of it is that it's just a way of saying the marginal value of a strikeout decreases as a pitcher's strikeout rate increases.
I'm trying to wrap my head around #4. After thinking about it for a few moments I think it might be easier to describe what the hell is going on in Lost.
I think what #4 means is that under the theory that groundballs are more likely to be hits than flyballs, groundball pitchers are more likely to have runners on base when pitching, so subsequent groundballs are more useful since they are more likely to be able to induce double plays. The logic seems to be a bit circular, but that's possibly because I'm either not getting it or not explaining it correctly :)
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
3. I think is just saying that the difference between say 4 and 5 strikeouts per 9 will give more benefit than say 9 to 10. Say your HR adjusted WHIP is 1.5. So in an average inning you have one and a half baserunners. If you record all your outs via groundball and flyball, you're going to give up more 'productive outs'. If you get all your outs via strikeout, you don't care how many guys are on base, because they're not going anywhere without a hit (or a forced in walk). I think that's what it's illustrating.
4. Groundballs tend to be singles and maybe doubles. Flyballs which go for hits are rarely singles.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
they just came early to get out of the cold...
Sosa never had that issue.
Plus he needed the extra time to complete his steroid cycle.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes

Snow, my Aunt Fannie. Looks to me like Gorzellany, and the rest of those cats, know how much room there is in the rotation. Good for them for getting in early.

Interesting development in Oakland
I just read that the A's are talking a one year deal with Gabe Gross. If so, it looks like ex Cubs Eric Patterson, Jake Fox and Aaron Miles could be fighting it out for the last seat on the Oakland bench.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
Wasn't Miles traded from the A's to the Reds?
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
Off topic:
I was at a friend's house today while he was cleaning out a storage cabinet with old baseball memorabilia in it. He found a box of Slammin' Sammy Flakes, commemorating his 66 home run season. I had to read the fine print, and it said "Free Toy Syringe in Every Box!"
I didn't remember that on there before:)
Re: Wasn't Miles traded from the A's to the Reds?
Why this stuff showed up today, I dunno. It all happened two weeks ago. The A's dumped Taveras, shipped Miles and signed Gross. Fox must be safe. So that leaves Patterson who I believe must be put on waivers before he can be sent back to the minors.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
Cubs should jump all over EPatt.
2nd base/CF leadoff possiblility. Much cheaper than Baker,Theriot or Fontenot going forward.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
I agree, and he's got more upside.
But I wonder whose job the Cubs would have to give him in order to keep him on the active MLB roster. Probably Fontenot's, right? And then Fontenot would be released or traded? Which leaves the Cubs with Jeff Baker or EPatt (whose defense I at 2nd is still suspect, right?). It's a risk I'd be willing to take. I suppose giving Hoffpauir the shaft would be an option as well.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
Fontentot is shitty defensively just like Epatt is. Both are lefthanded. Difference is that Epatt is 55% cheaper. 4 years younger. Has a much higher ceiling. Can play the Outfield as well.
Really no downside that I can see?

DR AARON B: Thanks to the Cubs optioning him to the minors for disciplinary reasons on 9-3-2007, Eric Patterson is out of options a year earlier than he should have been.
E-Pat had a nice little run with the A's in 31 games in 2009 (287/373/394, playing 2B-LF-CF-RF) after hitting 307/376/494 with 29 doubles, 11 triples, 12 HR, and 43 SB (6 CS) in 110 games at AAA Sacramento while playing all over the place (2B-3B-1B-LF-CF), and is projected as the A's IF-OF super-sub in 2010. And being out of options certainly should help solidify his chances of making the A's Opening Day 25-man roster.
While he is definitely an "offense-first" type of utility guy, I suspect the Cubs would seriously consider taking Patterson back if given the chance. He would be a good "25th man" on an N. L. club, with the ability to PH and PR in addition to having the versatility needed to play a number of different positions (albeit none of them well).
BTW, despite what was reported at mlbtraderumors, both Eric Patterson AND Jake Fox are out of minor league options.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
fontenot's D is better than epat's D...which should say enough.
epat's footwork at 2nd is abysmal. who wants him for 2nd? seriously... technically, bj upton "can" play SS.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
I'd like to get Dr. AZ Phil's opine on this matter. He has seen Epatt's work at 2nd more than anyone else has.
His rate and fielding %'s don't look terrible.

DR AARON B: Eric Patterson has plus-range and an above-average arm for a second-baseman, is capable of making spectacular plays, and he's a good flyhawk. He has a lot of the physical attributes you usually see in a young shortstop.
On the negative side, he has difficulty turning double plays (rhythm & footwork problems) and he has Steve Sax Disease (the closer he gets to 1st base, the more-erratic the throw). He plays 2nd base like a bull in a china shop. No finesse. He's like a guy who keeps stepping on his girlfriend's feet when they're dancing. He's a two-guard playing the point.
I saw Eric Patterson as a prototypical CF or LF when he was coming up through the Cubs system, but the Cubs didn't try him in the outfield until mid-way through his third season in the organization. I know E-Pat prefers to play 2nd base, and sometimes a player's "comfort zone" in the field matters more than aptitude because it helps the player perform at his best at the plate. The more he hits, the better chance he has to play 2B. But he is a liability in the field.

What is your opinion of Fontenot's defense?
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes

What is your opinion of Fontenot's defense
DR AARON B: When Mike Fontenot was acquired by the Cubs, he was very stiff and had a lot trouble turning the DP (very much like E-Pat), and he had (and still has) minimal range going to his right.
While he doesn't bring a "Gold Glove" to the field, over time Fontenot has made himself into an average defensive second-baseman, capable of making most all the routine plays. He's not versatile enough to be a true utility player, though, so either he plays 2B (in a platoon if not every day) or he goes back to AAA. And he has to hit, too. His just average defense & speed won't carry him if he doesn't hit.
On the other hand, Eric Patterson does have the athleticism to be a utility player. He is below-average defensively no matter where he plays, but his combination of bat/speed/occasional power can help a manager overlook some of his defensive shortcomings, as long as he keeps hitting and continues to show patience at the plate.
I believe Patterson has a much brighter future than does Fontenot. I wouldn't be surprised if by 2011 Fontenot is playing 2B somewhere in AAA while E-Pat is on an MLB roster.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
Thanks for the info Phil.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
I thought his defense at 3rd was pretty solid last year, and think he could get by as a emergency replacement at SS or a corner outfield spot. He certainly needs to hit better than he did last year, though. I think he's the guy who suffered the most from Aram's injury ... well other than Aram. He had to play a newish position, and then he tried to pick up the offensive slack and didn't handle it well.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
I get the feeling, the Cubs are done with the Pattersons.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
if only he could play 2nd worth a damn.

if they dont win at least 130 games this season they can pack it all up, turn wrigley into a concert venue, and move the damn team to san jose.
I see where catcher Cael Brockmeyer was promoted to Tennessee a couple of days ago, to fill a roster spot vacated by David Freitas, recently promoted to Iowa. Caratini is the other catcher at Tennessee.
They've already clinched a minimum winning percentage of .607 for the month, and that's only if they lose the last 2 games. If they win both, they can push that up to .679. So much for "stumbling" in May. When you're winning over 60% of your games, you're doing baseball well.
If the best walk-off hit possible is a solo home run in a zero-zero game--Eloy did it tonight!
(But maybe it's a grand slam when your team is down three? He didn't do that.)
Number eight for Jimenez. His team is 31-17. Yesterday they scored 17 runs against Lansing. Two weeks ago it was 15 runs against the same team. This is a nice team, South Bend. The Cubs must have had a good draft last year.
Tonight the pitchers were Sands, Brooks and Effross.
RIP Zoobrest.
He'll be fine. He's not some wimpy young pup.
In all seriousness the Cubs have the fewest amount of games played in the NL which means they're gonna be facing quite the grind later on including 24 games in a row at the end of June and beginning of July so I hope he does get a few days off.
Meh. He only got one hit today. Maybe give him a rest?
34-14...awww yeah.
Good thing the Cubs have five left-handed batters in the lineup. Velasquez is just tearing thru the righties [edit - doesn't seem to faze Bryant!]
ben zobrist gets to ride up front tonight cause he's a good guy at sports.
cubs with a 5 run lead and a lackey shutout through 3ip \m/
HAGSAG: I have not seen Joe Nathan out on the field, but he is supposedly at the UAPC.
ERIC S: Best outing I've ever seen from Manny Rondon, and I've seen most of his outings since the Cubs got him from the Angels.
M. Rondon is competing with six others (Dylan Cease, Bryan Hudson, Jose Paulino, Pedro Silverio, Jesus Castillo, and Erling Moreno) for a starting slot at Eugene, and (as you can probably tell from the EXST box scores) the competition has gotten fierce over the last couple of weeks, With the exception of Moreno, the Eugene SP candidates have upped their game lately, and M. Rondon's outing yesterday was especially impressive/dominating.
E-MAN: Pierce Johnsion was mixing a 92-94 MPH fastball with a plus-change-up AND curve, and he threw strike-after-strike-after-strike with all three of his pitches. I believe that was the best command and pitch-efficiency I've ever seen from Johnson, who often pitches from behind in the count and issues too many walks.
Of course now he has to avoid a recurrence of the lat strain (whch he has had previously in his career) as well as all of the other miscellaneous physical problems he's had over the last three years (hamstring, quad, back, etc).
PHIL: Any movement on P. Johnsons pitches? What was his "out" pitch? I know he was working on a 4th pitch, so wondering what he is looking like these days. Thanks.
AZ Phil, has Nathan showed up in Mesa yet? Thanks.

If we notice Parineeti Chopra, has been running away in most of her recent films. She was seen running away from her wedding in Shuddh Desi Romance, where she was paired opposite Sushant Singh Rajput. In Hasee Toh Phasee as well, she was seen running away from her house, this time paired opposite Sidharth Malhotra.
The most recent addition to the list is Daawat-e-Ishq, starring opposite Aditya Roy Kapur. The trailer of the film suggests that Parinneti Chopra is running away in this film as well! When asked whether this is coincidence or some formula for successful films, Parineeti said, "May be makers thing if there is something to do with running away, we should cast Parineeti in it. (Laughs) No, but on a serious note its sheer coincidence, and I really never gave it much of a thought. I think in my next film I should make others run"
Well whatever it may be, it surely strikes a chord with Parineet's fans.

Immigration reform nowJuly 05,2014Nearly 10 years ago, I witnessed my community come together in defense of a family that had been torn apart. A migrant farm worker had been detained and deported to El Salvador, leaving his wife and three children behind, the youngest only six months old.
Our community came together because these people were not illegals, or trespassers they were our neighbors, our community members and, most importantly, our friends. Their kids went to school with me and my brothers, and they worked for businesses that supported our local economy.
Today, I join 1,500 women from all over the country in a fast to urge Congress and President Obama to end the millions of deportations that are tearing families apart. They have the power to advance immigration reform, yet they stand by idly, accepting no responsibility or accountability for turning the lives of millions upside-down.
Vermont is home to over 1,500 migrant workers and their families, and not a single one of them should have to live in fear of being taken away from their loved ones. As a community, we should be insisting that our local law enforcement comply with Vermonts Bias Free Policing Law, instead of helping immigration enforcement take caregivers and mothers away from their children.
Today, I am fasting to show Congress and the president that I am not afraid to stand up for whats right. Maybe then, they will find the courage to do the same.

Gov. Rick Snyder says he still hasn't decided how much he'll take in salary as Michigan's new governor.
The independently wealthy Republican said Monday it will be less than the official rate of $159,300 set in 2009 after the State Officers Compensation Committee cut the salary of top elected officials and legislators by 10 percent.
Snyder took office Saturday.
He says he's still weighing how much he'll be paid and will announce the amount "at an appropriate time."
Former Gov. Jennifer Granholm voluntarily cut her $177,000 annual salary by 5 percent before the rate was reduced in 2009.

SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Gov. John Kitzhaber now has control of a bill he requested offering low-cost loans to retrofit schools with energy efficient technology.
The Oregon Senate approved the measure on Monday, sending it to Kitzhaber, who says he will sign it.
The measure is known by supporters as Cool Schools and is aimed at helping school districts afford the high upfront cost of energy efficient technology.
Proponents hope schools could improve the efficiency of aging buildings and save money on energy bills while employing people to make the upgrades.
The legislative initiative would offer low-interest loans from the state that would be paid back with energy savings. It draws largely on existing funding.

Friday, October 28, 2011. The departure lounge of AeroSvit flight VV238 to Kiev. The atmosphere couldn't be more different from that of an El Al flight. Rather, there is no atmosphere. It could be pre-Gorby Russia.
I have not made the most auspicious of starts to the New Year.
Striding down Shderot Yerushalayim (Jerusalem Boulevard) last week, running late for an appointment in south Jaffa, Stuey and Dexxy, starting to wilt under the midday sun, were desperately trying to pull me off the tarmacked sidewalk and under the shade of each and every tree.
Can things possibly get any worse?
You will forgive me, I hope, for not jubilantly swinging my misbaha over my head in celebration of the Arab Spring.
Most things in life never turn out to be quite how we imagine them. A notable exception to this, however, is Russian movers (although not being one to generalise, I use "Russian" to describe any individual from any one of the 15 former Soviet Republics).
"What is going on in England, Mike?!"
Recent unrest in the Mother Country has given Israeli friends and colleagues the opportunity – in which they have revelled – to make the point that the English are not that much more civilised than the "monkeys" whom I so consistently (if jokingly . . . well, semi) disparage.
"There's something happening here, what it is ain't exactly clear . . ."

It was Jonny Levene – whose taste in music (if not quiffs) was way ahead of that of the rest of us – who first introduced me to the great man, circa 1983/4.

Driving past the Tel Aviv Cinematheque on Sunday evening, I witnessed the kind of scene which, though no longer new to me, never fails to sicken me anew: on this occasion, a demonstration by around a hundred keffiyeh-wearing Israelis to mark Yawm al-Nakba, or Day of the Catastrophe, on which Palestinians mourn the birth of Israel, in 1948.
After years of cunning and deceit, I have finally been found out. Well, almost.
When it comes to wine-giving, I have always been firmly of the Costanza school of thought: it is pointless being overly, or even at all, beneficent when no one knows, or remembers, which bottle was yours.
Having ignored invitations to various Anglo-Israeli Royal Wedding bashes – quite apart from my already admitted davka-ness, why would I chance having to share such a uniquely British occasion with Israelis, Americans and, worst of all of course, French?
Who says it is only working class goyim who fight on holiday? Or that only Catholics and Protestants mix religion, football and violence?
Amongst the many eyebrow-raising sights witnessed on the streets of Tel Aviv is the odd (in both senses) one of the Israeli male sporting the German national football shirt.

If nothing else, melchett mike has always endeavoured to take an honest, warts and all approach (what, after all, is the purpose of a personal blog?) It is with this in mind that, swallowing a large dose of pride, I document my major dating talking point this month.
As news filtered through, yesterday morning, of the slaughter by Palestinians of five members of the same family – two parents and their children, aged 11, 4 and 3 months – an Israeli friend, Itzik, remarked merely "chayot" (animals). Benny Gantz, the new IDF Chief of Staff, used the term "chayot adam" (beasts).

i would probobly have given it 4 stars but i dident get the ending how could his eyes open if he was decapitateted
that was actually cool
I liked all the action a lot like action from Hero, but the whole story was cool too(:
In my opinion, this flash was perfectly executed and worked exteremely well! Everything flowed nicely, and like some people have mentioned, a bit more of a storyline would be good, like some background info about the characters.
But nonetheless, it was great to watch. Fast and action paced made the flash exciting.
All my 5 are belong to this!
Keep it up, dude!
Nice work
I really enjoyed this flash. It's my personal belief that a good flash has to pertain to standards including (but not limited to) a good idea, effort, and most importantly the style that the author is trying to bring across.
The way that the story was brought across was a bit sudden and there was no character development aside from the protagonist's loss of kin, but I assumed that was the general idea (which worked pretty dang well).
Overall, the way the movie was animated was what grabbed my attention. It was very smooth for the line style and the characters of the flash held to their own very cleanly, creating an outstanding flash. Hoping for a sequel.
wow i didnt think anyone was still watching this. thanks for the review!
Am I only one who liked MJ?
I mean, I thought the music matched perfectly with this flash. I don't think hard rock or metal wouldn't have worked as well because this seemed like a fairly lighthearted flash (it's hard to take a pigeon warrior seriously).
I thought some of the action scenes were a little rushed though; sometimes it took me a few moments to registered exactly what just happened. And a minor detail: the storyline also kind of confused me because the pigeon's brother looks exactly like all the enemies.
Nice job though. You pulled off the "simple" style pretty well.
umm, that guy wasnt his brother, his brother actually didnt feature in the animation, that was probably a mistake by my part. Thanx for the review

Sometimes I don't feel like talking about food. I feel like posting a pretty picture. I took the above shot last month in Huntsville, Alabama, the town where my college roommate Kim lives and where I met her for the afternoon one Saturday. She treated me to high tea at this fancy little shop, and then she drove me around the area's historic neighborhoods, letting me ooh and ah at the architecture, and to this park off the highway, where we climbed into the woods and looked out through leaves at the parking lot and, off in the distance, the hills of her hometown. Tim was away in New York that weekend (you'll remember his happy homecoming here), and I was missing him, so when I came back to the empty house that night, I was glad to be so tired from driving and touring and eating little scones, because at least that meant I would fall fast asleep, a skill usually reserved only for the male half of this little family, and fall fast asleep is exactly what I did. The next day, … [Read more...]
Cheeseless Crustless Quiche (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free)
There are recipes you make because you like the way they taste (chicken pot pie, carrot risotto, thin and chewy pizza crust); there are recipes you make because you're trying to show love (hot chocolate cookies, homemade cheesecake, soft and chewy salted caramel); and then, also, there are recipes you make for another reason, one not unlike the reason to get a new job or start a garden or build all your furniture yourself: Because you didn't think you could. Maybe this is how climbers feel about new mountains, or runners, about setting a new pace. When my brother says he wants adventure, and we end up at the top of the Arcadia National Forest in Maine, maybe this is why. Because the thing about a challenge or, more specifically, about meeting one, is that it makes you feel powerful, like you can do things. And when we defeat something we didn't think we could, we learn to be less afraid. In a 2008 CNN article titled "The Spirit of ... Adventure," Brigid Delaney … [Read more...]
Sweet Tomato Jam + Grilled Cheese
I am sitting here at my computer screen, imagining you, at the office or on your iPhone or skimming through your Reader, asking myself what I can possibly say to accurately communicate to you the importance of today's recipe, and I'm thinking about the reality that you are probably doing ten other things right now, that while you are deciding whether or not to keep reading or click away, you've also got a Word doc up; your email inbox, open; if your kids aren't crying, they're about to. You and I both know that just because it's Friday, that doesn't mean there isn't a to-do list, physical or not, on your mind for today, and you're trying to remember things and wanting to go get jobs done, so when you click here for a second and I ask for your attention, even with a photo like this top one, I know it's not an easy sell. I know what I'm up against. But listen, please hear me on this one if you've never heard me before and will never hear me again: You want to hear about this tomato … [Read more...]
HOT Chocolate Cookies (+ BIG Announcement!)
Yesterday morning, I had an entirely different post planned for you today. It wasn't about cookies, it wasn't about Nashville, it wasn't about the person who likes these cookies most. But plans change. You might remember over a month ago, when I brought you these thin chocolate cookies and ice cream sandwiches, how I mentioned being on the hunt for a crisp chocolate cookie, the kind that was like a cocoa gingersnap, spiced and crisp, sharp and crunchy. What I didn't tell you then was that it was really Tim who wanted this cookie, Tim who had mentioned it and sent my mind to work. And so it was, last week in Chicago, that I first tried this new recipe, an adaptation of Mexican chocolate cookies I'd found online, while Tim sat in my parents' dining room working on his computer and I worked in a light-filled kitchen, hoping for crisp, spiced bites of chocolate. That first experiment was such a hit, I made the recipe again Monday, so I could bring them over to Tim's house … [Read more...]
Mama's Meat Sauce
I come from a long line of women who can cook: My great grandma, I'm told, made legendary pasta. My grandma rolled her own cannoli shells. My mom, a woman who loves to say, Oh, it's so simple (particularly when her only daughter asks for clarification on some new recipe trick), has a vast cooking repertoire that ranges from bakery-worthy apple strudel to hot chicken curry just the way my dad likes it. And as with a lot of things in life, I feel there are different ways to approach this kind of heritage: Embrace it. Or resent it. I'll let you guess which way I tended towards for most of my childhood and only say this: it's amazing how we can turn blessings into curses, how we can choose to be intimidated by that which can help us grow. You may call it perfectionism; I call it ugly. It's like, say, when you have the opportunity to start working from home: This is such an obvious good (especially as it is the thing---the very thing---you have wanted and worked towards for … [Read more...]

What should I be doing instead of this?

'Downton Abbey' Season Four, Episode Three
Bringing the Latest in Uppity British Television
Upstairs Recap: The ladies of upstairs, with their hair perfectly crimped and curled, are misbehaving as usual. While the rest of the family pushes "Tony" (Ew) onto Mary, Edith is wearing fashionable arm bracelets and casually losing her virginity. Go Edith! Edith's lover, Michael Gregson, has finally achieved Lord Grantham's approval by winning him some money he lost, so there's that. Lord Grantham only ever cares about money, anyway. He shared a tender bro moment with Mr. Bates, but after he gave his advice he said, "My goodness that was strong talk for an Englishman." Chuckles. Is anyone else enjoying Isobel and Violet's newly found ceasefire and camaraderie? They no longer fight about village rose garden competitions and anything else they can think of. My favorite Violet wisecrack of the week: "If we only had moral thoughts, what would the poor churchmen find to do?" So far this season, Rose has been very well-behaved. On last night's episode, she seemed pretty preoccupied with sexy Jack Ross who rescued her from deep humiliation — but, of course, her family rejected him. Tony Gillingham asked Mary to marry him and she is so not ready. Protip: If someone asks for your hand in marriage by using the fact that your ex-husband is dead, run away. I think "He's dead, and I'm alive," were his exact words. Solid point, Gillingham. The mere mention of Matthew's name by someone who never knew him makes my skin crawl. Tony and Mary share a passionate kiss before (probably not) saying goodbye forever. Downstairs Recap: Ugh, more sexual assault: Edna took advantage of Branson's emotional state and lack of sobriety by sneaking into his bedroom late at night. Then she tried to trap him into marrying her with a fake pregnancy. No one can replace Sybil, Edna — everyone knows that. So Branson had his tweed suits all in a bunch until Mrs. Hughes took care of business by basically chasing Edna off the estate (again). Carson's sweet and smaller storyline about his dead ex-girlfriend is still ongoing, and Mrs. Hughes gives him a small keepsake to remember her by. Also Carson is my new spirit animal because he is not a morning person: "I always think there is something foreign about high spirits at breakfast." Me too, Carson, me too. Jimmy is hitting on Ivy and Daisy hates it because she's also technically a widow (RIP William, you were so handsome). Anna has to lie about her assault while sitting next to her rapist at the breakfast table, and things get tense. Mr. Gillingham's valet, Mr. Green, is forcefully creepy. On top of that, she is dealing with her extremely violent rape in a society that shames all types of emotion, particularly for women. Sound familiar? What's most troubling to me is creator Julian Fellowes' view on the rape scene backlash. When the episode debuted in the U.K. in October, he defended the storyline: "If we'd wanted a sensational rape we could have stayed down in the kitchen with the camera during the whole thing and wrung it out," he told BBC. "The point of our handling is not that we're interested in sensationalizing but we're interested in exploring the mental damage and the emotional damage." Mr. Fellowes, there is no such thing as an embellished or "sensational" rape. Rape is rape. Therefore, your argument that not showing the rape makes it less rape-y is completely invalid. Watching Anna being brutally attacked and listening to her screams can be just as triggering as the actual event. Joanne Froggat, who plays Anna, said she supports Fellowes' the depiction of this heinous rape scene. "I was really proud of the show for tackling a subject like this...I really do believe that Julian's written that in a way that is not gratuitous at all, he does very much go on to explore the emotional journey of Anna and Bates," she told BBC in October. "He's done a beautiful job of hitting the right note with it. I think we all just felt a big responsibility to get it right." A Gaurdian commenter under the username Bidisha makes a valid point about using the rape for shock value: "The shock attack scene in Downton was harsh and terrifying — which rape is. It was also beautifully shot, like a horror film set in a Past Times catalogue. But we live in a real world context of endemic male sexual violence in which about 90% of rapes go unreported and only 7% of the remaining 10% are convicted … raped women are not objects to be used to shake up a dull plot or add juice to a sanguine character." Here's hoping Anna and Bates can have an empowering and happy ending — and in the words of the Dowager Countess: "I hope you find a way to make friends with the world again."

'Downton Abbey' Season Four, Episode Six
Bringing the Latest in Uppity British Television
Upstairs:EDITH IS PREGNANT AND SHE'S KEEPING THE BABY, PEOPLE. But her significant other, Michael Gregson, is still mysteriously missing. If he ends up dead, the Grantham spawn will officially be cursed with forever losing their loved ones in freak accidents. Robert "went to America" (aka filming The Monuments Men) while Rose sat in a canoe with Jack Ross, the only reoccurring black male character. This plot-line feels very forced to me. Instead of focusing on the romance of her whirlwind relationship, the show focuses more on the scandal of it all. The Dowager Countess fell ill with bronchitis, and her frenemy/nemesis Isobel Crawley nursed her back to health. While Violet ran a fever and cursed at her caretaker, Isobel smirked at the fact that she will be able to say she saved Violet's life. By the end of this week's show, they were playing cards like old friends. Lady Mary — who has never let a speck of dirt touch her porcelain skin — had a mud fight with Charles Blake. Since every man she interacts with is a potential suitor, this was an interesting scene. Because Blake is actively trying to dismember her estate farm by farm, he is not exactly her friend. Although, this could create some perfectly awkward sexual tension. They share a special moment — and by which I mean they looked at each other five seconds longer than normal — until they were interrupted by Ivy. Downstairs: Not too much is happening downstairs this week, but the servants take part in their usual hijinks. While Daisy and Ivy bickered over Alfred's return visit, Mrs. Hughes and Carson tried to keep the hormones at bay. Which never works. Anna's rapist, Mr. Green, ominously returned to Downton just as pompous as ever. His comments to Mrs. Hughes blaming Anna for the assault were eerie and uncomfortable. Mr. Bates has confirmed his suspicions about who attacked and raped his wife after he sees Anna reaction to Mr. Green's presence. We are all scared as to what he will do next. "I'm married, I know everything." – Lady Mary

Super Bowl Fun for the Football Illiterate

The Super Bowl has evolved from a football championship game to an annual popular culture event.

I Just Can't Get Enough...Golden Globes
Jac's roundup of pop culture news and Internet findings
The Golden Globe Awards are a true Hollywood party. Awards are given out for television and film categories, so you get the playfulness of the Emmys and the movie stars of the Oscars without as much seriousness. And it is a widely-known fact that everybody gets their drank on throughout the ceremony. Globes were awarded Sunday night; here are some highlights. Hosts Amy Poehler and Tina Fey served as ringleaders for this celebrity circus, supplying audiences at home and at the show with tons of laughs. Having a fine eye for detail (HA!), I appreciated that they swapped gown colors from last year's show. The duo threw hilarious digs at the nominees, calling Matt Damon a "garbage person" in reference to the caliber of A-listers and introducing the Wolf of Wall Street himself with, "And now, like a supermodel's vagina, let's all give a warm welcome to Leonardo DiCaprio!" There were also super funny cutaway shots, like Julia Louis-Dreyfus acting like she was too good for this mess, puffing on an e-cig and refusing to take a selfie with Reese Witherspoon. Flawless! Jennifer Lawrence accepted the first Golden Globe of the night — wearing what appeared to be a bed sheet secured with seat belts — for her role as a certified Real Housewife of New Jersey in American Hustle. She displayed her usual candor, expressing true befuddlement and, for lack of a better word, cute "awkwardness." And America's love affair with her continues. Jacqueline Bisset was shocked — or intoxicated? —when she was announced as Best Supporting Actress in a Series, Mini-Series or TV Movie for her role in Dancing on the Edge. Eventually she got her words together, speaking right over that "STFU" music and ended up defying the censor to get an s-word in that bitch. Go Jackie! Behind the Candelabra nabbed Best TV Movie or Mini-Series, because the Hollywood Foreign Press Association doesn't have a category for "Best Use of Bejeweled Thongs." Mad Men was SNUBBED! This year, but Peggy (aka Elizabeth Moss) got an award, at least, for Top of the Lake (Best Actress in a Mini-Series or TV Movie). And, seriously, she seems like a total sweetheart. Bryan Cranston won Best Actor in a TV Series, Drama for Breaking Bad's final season. The series also received the award (which was presented by Paula Patton dressed in a blooming tampon-inspired number?) for Best TV Series, Drama. Aaron Paul said it best: "Yeah, bitch!" Best Original Score - Motion Picture went to Alexander Ebert for All is Lost. When the camera cut to this fancy hobo, I realized that's the lead singer of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros! Way to go, you crazy dude. Also: new hair icon. One of the more surprising awards of the night was Best Supporting Actor in a Series, Mini-Series or TV Movie — that's a wide-spanning category packed with talent. The Globe went to Jon Voight for Ray Donovan, in which his character advised his grandson, who was sick with a stomach ache, "Maybe you need to faht!" in a heavy Boston accent (Read: This was one of the season's highlights). But Rob Lowe was fucking robbed of that award. I'll never forget that face (even if I could)! #californiadiet Amy Adams(' side boob) received the award for Best Actress In A Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy for American Hustle. She and her girls accepted the award in a neckline ripped from the film. Adams is well on her way to becoming a mega-star, but I still keep confusing her with Isla Fischer! The Globes have this weird tradition of selecting a Mr. and Ms. Golden Globe each year, which is basically a celebri-spawn that wears expensive clothes to help usher award winners out the correct stage exit. This year's Miss was Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick's daughter, Sosie Bacon. As for the Mister, Tina introduced her little-known adult son from a previous relationship. Robin Wright, female perfection incarnate, was awarded for her role on Netflix series, House of Cards (Best Actress in a TV Series, Drama) The princess attended the show with new fiancé, Ben Foster. Get it girl! Presenter Jim Carrey proved he's still got it (despite several bouts of public cray over the past couple years)! I don't know what made me laugh more: his Shia LaBoeuf sting or the face that he was announced as the star of Dumb and Dumber To. Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture went to Jared Leto, who portrayed a transgender AIDS patient in Dallas Buyers Club. He was really workin' them ombré highlights (not in the movie, he actually has female envy-worthy hair for a guy). And despite making a period joke, I will always love him because he will always be Jordan Catalano to me. Spike Jonze received Best Screenplay - Motion Picture for his human-OS love story, Her. We all need to start watching Brooklyn Nine-Nine! Andy Samberg nabbed Best Actor in a TV Series, Musical or Comedy for his new comedy. Seemed genuinely shocked and pretty adorable. And ICYMI, he's married to Joanna Newsom. Another award presenter fashion faux pas: Zoe Saldana's dress looks like a prom rag from Charlotte Russe circa 1999. She'd look hawt in a burlap sack, so her style cred will recover, but damn. I think I have an old purse from Claire's that would match. Next up was Michael Douglas (Best Actor in a Mini-Series or TV Movie) for his role as Liberace in Behind the Candelabra. Host Amy Poehler received her first Golden Globe for Best Actress in a TV Series, Musical or Comedy as Leslie Knope in Parks and Recreation. She was massaged by/made out with Bono upon the exciting announcement. Leonardo DiCaprio won his third Globe (Best Actor in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy) for The Wolf of Wall Street. The actor, often overlooked at awards events (always the bridesmaid, never the bride, that Leo), seemed extremely gracious. Rounding out the night, American Hustle was named Best Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy; Cate Blanchett (which is pronounced Blanch-it as I recently learned on NPR) nabbed Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Drama for Blue Jasmine; Her male counterpart: Matthew McConaughey (Best Actor in a Motion Picture, Drama), for Dallas Buyers Club — a role for which he lost 45 pounds. Or, as Tina Fey put it, "what actresses call 'being in a movie.'" Matt wore a cool deep emerald velvet tux and gave his signature catchphrase: "Alright, alright, alright!" The show closed with Best Motion Picture, Drama, which went to 12 Years a Slave. All in all, it was an entertaining night and the awards were pretty well-distributed. Next up is the Oscars with Ellen DeGeneres — only 46 days to go!
'True Detective' Turns Popular Cop Drama Genre on Its Head

Hello, May, thank you for your visit. if you are planning to visit Patzcuaro, yes, I can recommend this hotel. Originally a typic house of the region, it was conditioned as a hotel. It is small but comfortable enough. I think you would enjoy Patzcuaro and its surroundings, region known as "la meseta tarasca". Best regards.
Excellent photo! Amazing colors!
Very well done!
Have a nice day, Manol
Magnificent photo & view!

Orlando, FL (AP) - Brazen, combative and unabashedly liberal
Democratic U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson has been ousted.
The freshman lawmaker from Orlando lost Tuesday to one of
Florida's most experienced Republican politicians, Daniel Webster
of Winter Garden.
Webster spent 28 years in the Florida Legislature, including
stints as House speaker and Senate minority leader.
With 67 percent of the expected vote counted Webster had 56
percent while Grayson had 38 percent. Tea Party candidate Peg
Dunmire, an Orlando financial adviser, was third with 3 percent.
Grayson's outspoken support for the federal health care
overhaul, stimulus plan and other liberal policies made him the
darling of the left but a top target for Republicans.

Give her the K2 Girls' Missy Ski with Fastrack2 7.0 Binding and she'll have a grin on her face that's so permanent it might stick forever. A touch of tip rocker makes this ski easier to turn than ever and, when deep snow falls, she'll plane right up on top of the deepness.

- All-Terrain Rocker tip gives this ski a 30/70 rocker-to-camber balance in order to ease edge transition, lift the tip above soft and choppy snow, and aid overall ski maneuverability
- Camber along the rest of the ski provides precise and steadfast power and edge hold on hard, groomed surfaces
- Aspen core is lightweight and durable, and it offers a forgiving flex perfect for young skiers
- Cap Construction creates a durable and lightweight ski by molding a laminate and top layer over the core of the ski
- Torsion box construction creates a stable feel throughout the ski, with sidewall construction underfoot and weight reduction in the tips and tails
- 75mm Waist is wide enough to help this ski ride over choppy snow, float a little in powder, and remain highly maneuverable
- Fastrack 2 7.0 binding has a 7-DIN range, and this binding balances precise performance with plenty of safety features to protect your young one

Are you able to purchase these skis without the Fastrak2 binding as we have them on my daughters old skis.
Hey Brep,
I am so sorry, these skis are a binding-ski combo package. We don't sell them without the bindings. We do however sell some girls skis without bindings. Give one of our Gearheads a shout and they can help you find a similar ski without the binding.

To get by, city hires recent retirees
Critics dislike pay on top of pension
"There are certain key, pivotal people in positions that keep the city running," Jarman said.
Jarman said she decided to retire in late June to avoid the reduced retirement benefits but did not want to leave the city in the lurch and agreed to stay on.
She added, "I'm not going to work for free, either. I don't think anybody would expect that."
Jay Goldstone, the city's chief operating officer, said the provisional program is a common tool for public agencies. He said it keeps important projects from getting bogged down and allows the same level of city services during the transition.
"It helps to bridge the gap," Goldstone said. "We're keeping them on provisional . . . because there was a belief by the manager or director of the respective departments that there is a particular need and benefit to the city to keep these people on."
One of the returning workers, Charles Samples, a supervising management analyst in the wastewater department, said he spent much of his provisional time training a successor. Samples oversaw finances of a department with a $100 million budget and roughly 300 employees.
Samples, 56, left because of the July 1 reduction in benefits. He said his hours have dwindled since he was rehired, and he now works about 16 hours per week.
"We've earned 100 percent of our retirement, and secondly, we're earning 100 percent of whatever pay we might be getting right now," Samples said. "We could have another job somewhere else, perhaps making more, but we're still serving the city and the residents."
All but four of the 50 returning retirees participated in the city's Deferred Retirement Option Plan, commonly known as DROP. The program, which began in 1997, allows employees to collect pension payments in a special account while still employed.
The city's pension system had guaranteed an interest rate of 7.75 percent on the special accounts, but its board changed the rate to 3.54 percent beginning July 1. By retiring before then, employees locked in the higher rate of return.
Sanders successfully pushed to eliminate DROP for new hires in 2005.
The 50 returning pensioners averaged nearly $76,000 in annual salary before retiring and now receive an average yearly pension of about $62,500. The average tenure was nearly 28 years.
Sherrill Taylor, 74, a retired financial planner from La Jolla, said she doesn't understand how it makes sense to pay a retiree salary and pension at the same time. She said she would prefer that the rehired employees only get paid the difference between their pension and former salary.
"They're just dipping from the same trough twice, and the trough is what we're putting in it," she said.

No kidding. I guess that's the passing of an era. I'm glad I went ahead that November afternoon and saved that image. Thanx for the update Jeff.
And I'm afraid these old paintings are fading away too fast, literally and figuratively. You got a nice angle on this one. There are several buildings near me in Mooresville that have these advertisements and have been 'restored' in recent years.
hahahaha! Nice observation. Right up there with Lizard Lick.
Donald, Thanks for your recent comment to one of my photos, and thank you for attracting me to your gallery. I love seeing photos from fellow North Carolinians. I see that you and I have visited many of the same places. I'll be looking forward to more of your uploads.
