My second thought? "Why did Don Mattingly spend two months playing Andre Ethier in center field and Yasiel Puig in right field?"

My second thought? "Why did Don Mattingly spend two months playing Andre Ethier in center field and Yasiel Puig in right field?"

The Red Sox held a ceremony honoring the 1986 team last night and one of the key members of that team, Wade Boggs, was in attendance wearing his Red Sox jersey. He also wore his Yankees World Series ring.
When I heard about this controversy a few minutes ago I did something that neither I nor most people who are a part of the Internet Industrial Complex usually do: wondered whether this was actually a controversy.
I quickly scanned around and found a good dozen or so articles talking about it and people talking about them talking about it. I noticed people making reference to how, theoretically, this could upset some Red Sox fans or be seen as a sign of disrespect. But I could not find anyone who actually cared. Anyone who was actually upset about it. I can't say that I read every comment to every article, but you usually don't have to dig deep to find people mad about something on the Internet and I could not immediately find anyone who was mad about this. Lots of jokes and comments about the idea of being mad, but no one who actually cared. It was like an obligatory ceremonial function the meaning of which everyone has forgotten.
There are a lot of "controversies" like that. They tend to be more common in the entertainment world than the sports world — people referencing a "scandalous" thing some singer or actor did which, in reality, scandalized no one — but it happens in sports too. In sports it's when a convention or custom is not followed or when someone doesn't otherwise conform to some set of expectations. A lot of the time no one cares at all. It's all about the politics of recognizing situations in which someone might, in theory, care. Or once did long, long ago.
Maybe someone is genuinely mad at Wade Boggs over this If so, I'd love to hear from that person and wonder why on Earth they'd care. But I sort of feel like such a beast does not exist. And for that I'm pretty glad.
I've always been critical of the concept of "statement games" in Major League Baseball. Maybe it matters more in football where there are far fewer games and thus each one means much more, but in baseball a win lasts, at best, 48 hours and usually less. Like Earl Weaver said, we do this every day, lady. When you're constantly talking, as it were, any one statement is pretty unimportant.
I'll grant that a "statement win" is a thing players use to motivate or validate themselves, of course. We on the outside can roll our eyes at the notion, but we can't know the minds of a major league player. If they think that they made a statement and it's important to them, hey, it's important to them. I'll admit, however, that a statement loss is a new one to me:
Kolten Wong provided the basis of that headline. Here is what he said:
"I think we still made a statement. We were down 6-1 right off the bat. The game before, we were kind of in the same situation. We were tired of it," second baseman Kolten Wong said. "Our pitchers have been our go-to these past few years. It was time for us to step up and I think we all kind of felt that, too. We just wanted to make this a game and show that we have our pitchers' backs."
In context it makes sense. A moral victory, as it were. They got to one of the best pitchers in the game after finding themselves down by several runs thanks to their starting pitching betraying them. The hitters didn't go into a shell when most folks would excuse them for doing so against a guy like Jake Arrieta.
Makes sense and no judgments here. Moral victories matter. Still, it's hard not to chuckle at the headline. I can't remember a big leaguer talking quite that way after a loss.
The Dodgers have been mulling this for a long time, but they just announced that they plan on calling up top prospect Julio Urias. He'll be making his major league debut against the Mets tomorrow evening in New York.
Urias is just 19 years-old, but he's shown that he's ready for the bigs. In eight Triple-A games this year — seven starts — he's 4-1 with a 1.10 ERA and a K/BB ratio of 44/8 in 41 innings. He has tossed 27-straight scoreless innings to boot. While the Dodgers and Urias' agent are understandably wary of giving the young man too much work too soon, he has nothing left to prove at Oklahoma City.
Urias turns 20 in August. Tomorrow night he will become the first teenager to debut in the majors since 2012 when Dylan Bundy, Bryce Harper, Manny Machado, and Jurickson Profar each made their debuts.
Richard Dietsch of Sports Illustrated reports that Fox officials asked Vin Scully if he wanted to work the All-Star Game, be it calling the full game, doing an inning, making a guest appearance or whatever. Scully, though appreciative, said no thanks.
We've been over this, but for however much it might make people happy for Scully to make this kind of national appearance, there's nothing in his history or in his apparent nature that would make such a thing appeal to Scully. For as much as an institution he has become, he still thinks of himself as an employee who calls Dodgers games, goes home and that is that. He has shown considerable discomfort, however politely he has communicated it, at being treated as something different or more special than that. And that's before you remember that (a) it would be a totally different setup for him which would require a lot of extra work; and (b) the All-Star Break is a time when most baseball people take a couple of days off.
As I said the last time we discussed this, if baseball at large wants to give Scully some sort of national sendoff, the best bet would be for the powers that be to figure out how to get the final Dodgers games of the season nationally televised without blackout restrictions. That way we can all watch him doing his thing, in his element, for a final time without it being gimmicky.

With her profits, she covers the daily expenses of the family since she's the only bread earner, and pay her children's healthcare. She also provides for herself. She wants to strengthen her savings and pay her interests.

The Cardinals know what their winning formula is going to be this season: play great defense, make a few plays on special teams and be efficient on offense.
They used that formula to upset the Patriots on Sunday at Gillette Stadium. And if they can stick to it, especially over the next month, they have a solid chance of being in the race for the NFC West title.
That's heady stuff for a team that hasn't been to the playoffs the last two years and is still searching for a quarterback.
But that's how big last Sunday's victory over the Patriots was. The Cardinals were the only ones who believed they could win. They were 13 1/2-point underdogs, partly because the Patriots rarely lose at home, especially to an NFC team.
The victory, however, was no fluke. The defense gave Tom Brady trouble all day. The offensive line protected quarterback Kevin Kolb well and opened some holes for the running backs.
The Cardinals also blocked a punt that was turned into a touchdown.
And the thing is, Kolb said, the Cardinals were far from perfect.
"The good thing is, is that it was an ugly game," he said. "It wasn't clean for us, either. It wasn't like we played a perfect game. We have a lot to improve on and like I said, if you can get those ugly wins checked off, that's big."
If the Cardinals are mature enough, they are set up to go on a run now. Three of their next four games are at home. And the only road game is at St. Louis.
Kolb likely will remain the start for this week's game against the Eagles, his old team. He missed the game against Philadelphia a year ago because of injury.
But John Skelton is likely to miss at least another week with an ankle injury, and Kolb played well enough in New England to hang on to the job anyway.
His only turnover was a fumble. He didn't have great statistics (14 of 28 for 140 yards and one touchdown), but he did what he was supposed to do. He didn't force the ball, he was content to check down and he avoided mistakes.

Bruce Jenner to Kendall and Kylie: No More Partying With Chris Brown
Kendall and Kylie Jenner may have grown up in the spotlight, but that doesn't mean their family is happy about all of their showbiz companions. OK! magazine reports that Bruce Jenner is livid after finding out that his teenaged daughters have been hanging out with frequently incarcerated singer Chris Brown.
The girls, who partied and posed for photos with the troubled star the day before the VMAs, will likely be seeing a whole lot less of their new friend in the future, now that Bruce has laid down the law. "Bruce told Kris she'd better back him in banning the girls from spending any more time with Chris Brown, and that it's not negotiable," an insider reveals.
While Bruce and Kris Jenner may be the only two close to having veto power over who their kids hang around with, they're not the only ones who have expressed their concerns. Kendall and Kylie's half-brother, Brody Jenner, is reportedly distraught over his sisters' hard-partying ways and is desperately trying to encourage Bruce and Kris to lay down some stricter rules for the girls.
Do you think Bruce is doing the right thing by keeping his daughters away from Chris, or is he being too overprotective? Sound off in the comments!

Other Visitor's Experiences
Everything about this hotel was just fun! The check in was fast and the staff was very friendly. There are gorgeous murals all over and Art everywhere you look. It really is a treat to stay here. The room was comfortable and the bathroom was so awesome!
We were looking for a cheap place to stay on an extra night in California and found this little gem. Don't be turned off by the pictures or the rating. This place was amazing and really helpful. We will definitely return.
The front desk was helpful and nice. They told us about the trolly and even walked out-side to show us where it would pick us up. No problems about a late check out time.
Our third stay at this motel which coincided with a heatwave. Nice room with balcony. Motel is about a mile from the centre of Laguna Beach and close to Crescent Bay Beach, which is great for a dip.
Being a local, the front desk person was well informed, and helped direct us to great beaches, restaurants, and bars. There is fresh baked goods available in the morning, fresh fruit, and lots of information on events. Will be sure to come back again
Staff were very friendly and helpful. Small continental breakfast at the front desk. Comfortable enough with a great location. Cute pool area that is great for a dip after a day at the beach.
This is my second time staying at this hotel. It is on the trolley route. The check in/out is easy. Pleasant staff. Continental breakfast a nice touch. It is across the street from a cove. Madison Square Garden is a walking distance restaurant that has outstanding ricotta pancakes!
Walking the neighborhood is a special treat. We loved the room with our ocean view. The free trolley system stopped right in front and we used it extensively both days we were in town. We will be back.
I have enjoyed staying with the folks at The Art Hotel for a couple or three years now. They couldn't be more accommodating. The hotel is older and could use some work but the rooms are always clean and the staff always available to help you with anything you need.

The match was set to be played behind closed doors, but the Red Devils' manager pulled out because of logistical concerns.The United States was set to take on Belgium in a closed-door friendly Thursday as its final preparation for the opening World Cup match against Ghana, but that match will no longer take place.
Instead, the Americans will conduct two training sessions at Sao Paulo FC, where the team is training ahead of the World Cup.
It appears the scrimmage is one of the first consequences of a transport strike in World Cup host nation Brazil, with Belgium coach Marc Wilmots telling the Associated Press earlier Wednesday that he "will not take the risk to go to Sao Paulo, looking at the possibility of a strike and traffic jams. I don't want to sit in a bus for five hours."
The AP reported that Wilmots is instead considering an intra-squad match at his team's home base.
The USA's World Cup campaign begins June 16 against Ghana, while Belgium starts the next day with a match against Algeria.

The Trayvon Martin killing has once again brought into focus the thorny and tragic issue of race in America. At his blog, Rod Dreher has asked what it would look like to have an Important Conversation about race:
The problem is, if we're going to have a broader Important Conversation about this stuff, it's going to have to involve a discussion of social and cultural contexts in which people make these judgments about young black men, and race, more generally. Trayvon Martin was almost certainly a victim of irrational prejudice — and he paid for it with his life. If what appears to be the case turns out to be so, then I hope and expect Zimmerman to go to jail, and I would hope and expect the local police department, if they did a sloppy, racially prejudiced investigation, to pay some price too.
That said, we don't see in our media discussions of victims of crimes committed disproportionately by young black males, nor do we hear much about the valorization of thuggery in hip-hop culture, and how these things affect perceptions of young black men in the non-black community. How can we know which prejudices are rational (that is, based on sound judgment of the facts) and which ones are irrational? Why does it matter, if it matters? These things are important to explore, but also pretty much impossible to.
I think it's unfair to blame the president's election for making it more difficult to have an Important Conversation about race in America. That conversation is not going to happen no matter who's president. There's nothing in it for white people. Don't misunderstand me: I think a genuine conversation, in which both sides (all sides?) aired their grievances and their fears, in an atmosphere of mutual acceptance and even reconciliation, would be hugely important and beneficial. Black-Hispanic tension and prejudice is a big deal too, though one that doesn't often get discussed in the media. I doubt there's a single soul — white, black, brown or whatever — who doesn't have some prejudice that he or she could stand to confront and dispel. But like I said at the beginning, non-liberal white people accurately sense that the Important Conversation is almost always going to involve them being told how racist they are, and being expected to agree and promise to do better. You can have these Conversations if you want, but they won't be Important, because they're not going to be honest. Think about it: a culture in which many media outlets won't give the race of at-large violent crime suspects — this, even as they report sex, height, clothing description — because they don't want to encourage stereotyping, is not a culture that is prepared to speak forthrightly about race and crime.
Dreher's own post is an extended reflection on this piece from Renique Allen in the Washington Post.
A few weeks ago, I was standing outside a posh bar on the Lower East Side of Manhattan with my friends of almost two decades. I made an offhanded comment about the ratio of blonde-haired-blue-eyed chicks to brown girls like me. It seemed like a zillion to one.
My pals, who are white, didn't get why I was bringing this up. "No one cares about race except you," one said.
I tried to explain my frustration with having to always choose between an all-black experience or being the "only one," whether at work, in grad school or even out for a night in New York. I waited for a nod of sympathy; instead, my best friend threw her hands up and said: "How can we all be racist? Look at who is president!"
I didn't have a response.
At this point, I'm a broken record on the subject, but once again we have to try and understand this issue through the lens of narrative if we are to understand it at all. There have always been two racisms at work in the United States – the naked racism seen most starkly in individuals. It's the racism of Bull Connor, the sort of racism that explicitly states that one race is better than another. With World War II, the American Civil Rights Movement and the ending of Apartheid, that sort of racism stopped being PC. The naked racists still exist – and it's highly possible that George Zimmerman is one of them – but the way racism is spoken of in our culture makes it utterly impossible to speak to those people directly. That kind of racism is no longer tolerated and so with the exception of extreme fringe groups that sort of racist is no longer going to announce themselves publicly.
And yet when Americans speak of the sin of "racism" that is still the primary sort we're thinking of. We're thinking of ethnic slurs, legalized racial segregation, and the like. But because of the stigma associated with racism in the public square, it's impossible to actually have an honest conversation about it. (The difficulty to which Allen is alluding.) If a black person raises the issue of racism with white people, the natural response a white person will have is to get defensive and uncomfortable. Being Archie Bunker isn't culturally permissible and being accused of racism makes you Archie Bunker, so we get defensive.
This is why we need to recognize a softer, harder-to-pin-down definition of racism that I'm going to call narrative racism but which could also be called systemic racism.
When I worked at Selby Wine and Spirits in St. Paul, MN I was the lone white employee in the store and the store was the lone black-owned liquor store in the Twin Cities metro. When Vernon started working to establish the business, it took the city three years to give him his license. Why? It wasn't because he lacked experience. He had been a manager at a liquor store for 15 years. Nor was it because he lacked the skills – he had a degree in accounting and had run several small businesses throughout his life. Nor was it because he lacked the means to make the business work. He had a building picked out, he'd poured tons of work into the building (an abandoned hardware store) and he had a sister who had also run a small business moving out to help him with the store. He was an excellent person to open a store and he had an excellent chance of succeeding at it (which he has).
But he was black and he was opening the store in a majority-black neighborhood. So the city drug its feet and did everything it could to keep him from opening the business. And to this day whenever he calls the police about a break-in or theft, he's fearful of it being held against him. Even in the cases of legitimate break-ins which we were unable to prevent, he doesn't want to call it in because if something really major ever happens and he goes to the police, they'll say "well, you've called us x amount of times, which suggests you're running a disorderly business." Then they'll do as little as they can to help him resolve the problem.
Are any of the city officials dragging their feet on the issue racist in the Archie Bunker sense of the word? Probably not. But they are judging a man they do not know to be unworthy or incapable of running a business based largely on his skin color.
So there's racism and there's racism. And nowhere is this more apparent than in the Trayvon Martin case. As it turns out, it's entirely possible – and highly likely – that George Zimmerman is more of an Archie Bunker racist. You can judge for yourself, but it sure sounds to me like he's using a racial slur on his 9-11 call. But in one sense that's kinda immaterial. Martin was a black man walking in an upscale gated community wearing a hoodie. And, sad though it is, I know Zimmerman isn't the only one who'd look at that and think "suspicious."
The solution offered by Giraldo Rivera of Fox News is that Trayvon shouldn't have been wearing a hoodie. But that misses the point completely. You don't fix social evils by accommodating them. You do it by addressing them directly. You don't fix the problem by telling black kids to dress less like black kids and more like a certain type of socially-accepted (white) kid. That makes the problem worse by accommodating the soft bigotry of certain people and by reinforcing the message to black children that there's something innately wrong with them that requires them to worry about things no one else has to worry about.
It's good that the naked racism of Bunker and Connor is no longer PC. I'm glad. But the narrative racism that shapes the social imagination and makes some outcomes more likely and others less is still deeply racist. And that's why we have cases like Trayvon Martin, Oscar Grant and Sean Bell.

Chavonnes Battery Museum
The Chavonnes Battery is a Visitor Attraction about the early History of Cape Town,
• It includes a Heritage site / museum,
• We host Contemporary International Art exhibitions,
• We offer guided tours of the museum,
• and the official V&A Waterfront Historical Walking Tour,
• The exquisite site is suited to presentations and "Old Cape" themed dinners,
• guests have the opportunity to fire an original 18th century Muzzle Loaded Cannon. (Under supervision of the Cannon Association of SA)
It is the only place that you can touch the sand of the original Cape Town shoreline that has been buried for 300 years, the sand Jan Van Riebeeck walked on and all our guides dress in period costume of a 17th century VOC soldier.
Built in 1724, the first in a range of coastal defence to deter sea-borne aggressors and named after the Governor, its stable firing platform with 16 large cannons enabled gunners to bring accurate fire to bear on hostile ships from its perch as watchdog of the bay.
The Chavonnes Battery was partially demolished in 1860 its stone reused for the Alfred Basin and the Clock Tower was built as its new sentinel. In 1999, the Chavonnes Battery was re-discovered, excavated and conserved in a spectacular example of architectural ingenuity.
Our visitors particularly enjoy:
• The spectacular layout and design of the Heritage Site/museum,
• engaging with knowledgeable staff and tour guides from local communities,
• the thought provoking International Contemporary Art on exhibition,
• the comfortable seating and reading nooks, the hats and taking photos,
• and how insightful they found the experience (click for Trip Advisor Reviews)
Visitors are invited to don an 18th Century tricorn hat and step below sea-level for a fascinating and informative perspective of the 17th and 18th Century Cape Town. Graphic information boards in Afrikaans, English and Xhosa tells the story, displays show the results of the excavation work, including a well. Detailed models depict the battery in 1726, and a bird's-eye view of Cape Town and Table Bay about 70 years later. One of the most popular sections is the gunnery display, a mixture of genuine artefacts, careful replicas and some of the best models to be found anywhere in South Africa. We have the largest selection of Muzzle-Loaded Cannon in SA and one of the few sites where they are fired off.
Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (Zeitz MOCAA) is the first major museum in Africa dedicated to contemporary art due to open in the old Grain Silo at V&A Waterfront. This partnership allows the Chavonnes Battery to act as a site for contemporary artists to create evocative engagements with site, space and time.
The Chavonnes Battery is open 7 days a week from 9 am to 4 pm. The average walk through lasts 30-40 min with ample seating and reading material for longer visits.
The Museum Guided Tour lasts approximately 1 hour and is available daily. Group and School Tours are available on request (up to 60 pax).
The official V&A Waterfront Historical Walking Tour lasts for 2 hours available daily at 11 am and 2 pm (Booking available on Viator)
Our guides dressed in period costume share stories of the people and events that led to the birth of Cape Town on the museum tour and The V&A Waterfront Historical Walking Tour which includes points of interest and fascinating historical relics of the early days such as the first power station, the last boom defence vessel and those added later as the docks developed, such as the torture Treadmill, still to be seen, if you let us show you. Experienced guides are shadowed by trainee Tourist Guides giving them the opportunity to practice their skills.
The Chavonnes Battery is a thriving learning organisation that provides the opportunity for personal development, work experience, exposure to the tourism industry and Tourist Guide training for interns and graduates in Tourism Management with the aim of assisting them to secure employment after.
We are committed to working with passion and pride to deliver a world class experience of the History of Cape Town and all our income and profit is invested in our social goals (youth development)

Wild West romp Red Dead Redemption's lassoed a whopping eight million unit sales since its release in May 2010, Take-Two has announced.
News comes following the publishing behemoth's Q3 earnings call overnight, where company chairman and CEO, Strauss Zelnick, said developer Rockstar's proved it knows how to churn out hit games and support their titles via ample post-release DLC.
Net revenue for the third quarter ending December 31 was down 7 percent year-on-year, while net profits shot up 7 percent to $40.8 million during the period.
Major contributors to profitability during the quarter include the likes of NBA 2K11, Red Dead Redemption, Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare, Grand Theft Auto IV: Complete, Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition, and Sid Meier's Civilization V.
"Strong holiday sales enabled Take-Two to continue to deliver better-than-expected revenue and earnings in the third quarter. Our results year-to-date clearly demonstrate the Company's ability to translate its world-class creative resources and diverse portfolio of triple-A franchises into meaningful profits," commented Zelnick.
"Looking ahead to the balance of the year and fiscal 2012, I have never been more enthusiastic about our diverse line-up of upcoming releases. In addition to producing triple-A titles focused on the traditional console market, we are also actively pursuing opportunities to grow our revenues by leveraging the strength of our brands in emerging markets and across new platforms and distribution channels. These include opportunities in Asia and Latin America, evolving downloadable content models and online multiplayer experiences."
Unfortunately, Zelnick remained coy on the status of Max Payne 3, stating, "We have no update on Max Payne 3 at this time."

Out of curiosity, why do you want RSX brakes specifically?
As far as I know, the RSX calipers were only produced for 8-sp RSX groups, in a satin-finish dual pivot.
Every 7-sp RSX group I've come across (and I buy 'em if I can afford it) had Exage calipers.
Other than eBay, Velospace, Road Bike Review, and other sales/trade sites, I can't imagine anywhere else.
Maybe try Site Mash and enter RSX. It may come up with CL listings.

351 Tasting Notes
This is pretty tasty.
Brewed 1 heaping tsp in 15 oz of water for 2 1/2 minutes.
The coconut is more of an aftertaste. But the jasmine is lighter than other jasmine teas I've had, and it works really well. I imagine the rooibos helps tones is down and helps all the flavors blend together.
It's very nice.
This was disappointing. The description stated "super-chocolaty blend." It tastes more like watery chocolate. However, I suspect that this would be better if the chocolate chips in the blend had actually melted completely and become a strong flavor. Maybe next time, I will let is steep for a short eternity. The combination of the flavors is actually really good, and I can see it in a hot chocolate mix working very well. The cinnamon and chocolate mix together nicely. I just wish it was stronger.
A very pleasant light green tea. Tasty and very vegetable like. I admit to not giving this tea the full attention it deserved since I was distracted by internet things. I will have to drink this again and write a more detailed note later.
This is easily one of the best Earl Grey/EG blends I've tried. SO DELICIOUS. Surprisingly light for a black tea. The bergamot wasn't overpowering, and the floral taste is so light that it acts as more of a garnish than an actual flavor. Lovely.
(Also, please please I hope Capital Teas keeps this one in stock for a while, even after royal wedding fever has died down. It's delicious.)
I fell in love with the smell of this and had to have some. Steeped, the tea is pretty delicious. The blueberry taste is not as strong as the other blueberry rooibos I've tried (Teavana) but I really like this too. And with a spoonful of sugar, delicious, though it was also drinkable without.
I was a little worried about how this would taste because the smell of the dried tea was so cloyingly sweet. I shouldn't have worried. The osmanthus was present, and there is an additional oily taste that I'm not used to in oolong, but overall it complements the oolong rather than overpowers is.
It's not my favorite oolong – it is missing some of the subtleties that I enjoy – but it's very good.
I tried this again with a spoonful of sugar. It's okay. The sugar overpowers the chai flavor, but I remember that I didn't much care for the tea without sugar. Maybe some cream would help it?
I finished the cup this time! I didn't last time.
Tried this for a third time. This time, I brewed 1 tsp of this plus 1 tsp of rooibos with 1 tsp of rock sugar in 16 oz of water. It was vastly more drinkable than the previous times I had tried drinking this tea alone.
The almond flavor is definitely still present throughout the tea, and the sugar enhances the rooibos and the other flavors in the Amandine Rose.
I think I've finally doctored this tea in a way I actually like it. I'm bumping up my score for this tea a bit in reaction, tho I wish I hadn't had to nearly jump through hoops to make this drinkable.
This tea is so pretty to look at in the little spice jar I put them in. The pearls are large about as wide as my thumbnail, and patterned brown and black. The smell is lovely too. The jasmine comes right to the front.
Steeped three pearls in 16 oz of water for five minutes, per the instructions on the label.
This is amazingly smooth and mellow for a black tea. Jasmine taste first, and as it rolls over my tongue, I taste a little woodsy/earth, and then a hint of bitterness as I swallow. This is just a beautiful tea.

Kaine's campaign fired back.
"It's disappointing that George Allen would choose to run an ad that he knows is false. This is exactly what's wrong with Washington these days and further demonstrates why George Allen would not be able to help break the partisan gridlock there," Kaine spokeswoman Brandi Hoffine said in a statement. "The facts are that the tax burden on Virginia families was lower under Tim Kaine than under George Allen. Tim Kaine cut taxes for the lowest-income Virginians, while George Allen wants to cut taxes for the wealthiest Americans."

Superb Build and Sound
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
The Bose Centerpoint system in my 2009 Saab is difficult to upgrade because the head unit and Bose amp share controls and crossover functions. The HD900, with its five channels, differential balanced inputs (you must have this to work with the Bose system), high level speaker inputs and size perfectly integrates into the Bose system so that your multiple aftermarket speakers get all the power they need to sound their best.
Pros: The size, power and build quality. Makes me happy every time I turn it up!
Cons: Price, but you get what you pay for!

Don't let me eat pears! I HATE PEARS!
If uni life wasn't keeping me so busy I'd spend my days watching DW episodes. Your rendition of Tennant is perfect! *makes little grabby-hands *
ahh yeah i only just managed to marathon all of the new seasons just before i started uni in 2011 but now.. there is no time anywhere;; but thank you!! he was quite a challenge to draw haha
I'm kind of a newcomer to DW, still only at Season 2 of the new series and advancing very slowly. It's kind of hard to fit in a 45-minute episode when there's so much else I should be doing. :/ Great show though.
i know right haha, catching up to any well-established thing is pretty difficult i actually downloaded all the episodes since 1964 but i just didn't have the strength nor time to get past the first few episodes sigh
but yeah it's awesome! last season i was pretty confused oftentimes but it's always enjoyable

This volume owes its genesis to Richard Murphy, ambassador and former assistant secretary of state, who first talked me into the project and then established a series of seminars, in New York and Washington, under the auspices of the Council on Foreign Relations, during which the ideas and some of the words written here were first presented. In those seminars a number of individuals closely connected with the relationship, and some analysts and critics of it, suggested ideas that have found their way into my and Howard Rosen's thinking and analysis and some into the text of this volume. In addition, a number of U.S., Israeli, and Arab officials and academic colleagues have been kind enough to review some or all of the manuscript and have offered numerous suggestions for its improvement. Among those who participated in the seminars and/or who reviewed the draft were Graeme Bannerman, Raghida Dergham, Thomas Dine, Mark Erickson, Marvin Feuerwerger, Stanley Fischer, Leslie Gelb, Joseph Goldberg, Stephen Gotowicki, Peter Grose, John Hall, Rita Hauser, Arthur Hertzberg, Malcolm Hoenlein, Gershon Kieval, Judith Kipper, Khalil Jahshan, Les Janka, Bernard Lewis, Samuel Lewis, Richard McCormack, Judith Miller, Joseph Pelzman, James Prince, Samuel Sislen, Herbert Stein, Howard Stoffer, Peter Tarnoff, David Wurmser, Dov Zakheim, and James Zogby. Each deserves our thanks for their efforts to improve this work.
At the request of the Council on Foreign Relations I am including the following acknowledgment: "Research for this book was partly funded by a generous grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur

Here you go from Google.
I saw this last night, very interesting little model. I might buy one if people get hold of some and review it. So far there are two videos about it on youtube:
To me it sounds a lot like the flyzone/eRC motor and gearbox, which isn't a bad thing. Also proportional servos, they got rid of the magnetic actuators.
I am thinking of getting one of these little beauties.....................
I nearly got one of their Tiger Moths, but this Pup looks very nice.
Cannot see any serious reviews yet, so if there are any out there, it would be good to know!
I'm collecting one tomorrow, and will let you know how she flies once I get some calm weather. Looks a little tail-heavy, but nothing a bit of trimming can't fix.
Nicely detailed, particularly the undercarriage and "quilted" cockpit sides. Dihedral increased over scale, but not obtrusively. Certainly looks very much like a Pup, and this model should be in demand if only for the prop, which would lend itself to a host of WW1 models. Ares just raised the bar again!
Too green, if colour is important to you, but I have yet to see an RTF model that gets P.C.10 or 12 anywhere near right. A carefully applied thin wash of brown should correct it. If you can bear to risk stripping the paint off, many gorgeous colour schemes were applied to instructors' personal aircraft.
The transmitter is similar to the one provided with the Taylorcraft, but the type number is 100 rather than 200, so it presumably differs, perhaps in range. It does have trim buttons for a fourth channel: it remains to be seen if they are functional.
My Tiger Moth cuts out unpredictably; that may be down to TX problems, probably with range, so I hope this one will be better.

Looks nice. What a horrible sounding gearbox compared to my UM T-28! Sounds like a coffee grinder.
[QUOTE=Welsh Dave;31353464]I'm collecting one tomorrow, and will let you know how she flies once I get some calm weather. Looks a little tail-heavy, but nothing a bit of trimming can't fix.
That's great Dave................the vid posted by R31 Mike gives you an idea of how it flys, but he was flying in a pretty restricted area IMHO.
My experience on ready built micro stuff is limited to the Nine Eagles P51,(nice flyer) and the eRC Spitfire(under powered, or under propped?)........................
I look forward to your opinion/review
BTW where are you getting your Pup from?................seems a little limited at the moment.
Steve Webb Models, Frodsham. Good service, very reasonable prices.
This model cries out for an Albatros D.III to dogfight. Listening, Ares?

Ares Sopwith Pup
You guys can have it -- too much dihedral for me.
First impressions: the model is very light but feels substantial, with a very high standard of finish, even if top and side colour is much too green. That's easily fixed.
The undersides of the wings are natural fabric colour, but that of the tailplane is left white, presumably for weight reasons. Looks better than the Flyzone S.E.5a, IMHO. No glossy decals! There's a very detailed Vickers gun, which can be omitted if you model a trainer or hack. Curiously and unaccountably, the windscreen is opaque silver rather than clear, but the shape is good and it will serve as a pattern for a clear replacement. Unarmed Pups had a standard hinged flat Triplex screen.
The rear top decking has a rather prominent joint running down the middle; I'd put a piece of embossed thin paper over it for a better appearance. The fuselage underside should be P.C.10 or 12 except for the silver metal panels up front.
Bizarrely, although the wing rib detail is excellent, the root ribs of the outer panels and the tip ribs of the centre section are missing! These are of a distinctive shape, expanding into a half lozenge between the spars. Their addition from strips of paper is recommended.
Only the real wooden interplane struts are magnetically attached, the lower wing, undercarriage and upper centre section being glued in place. The tops of the c/s struts are joined by neat spanwise strips of plastic recessed into the wing undersurface and painted to match. The model could easily be rigged, which would keep the i/p struts in line. If just one of them turns edge on, it induces yaw!
Scale is about 1/23. The undercarriage is sensational, the legs even having the tiny horizontal spacer bars moulded in. I love the prop, which has hub detail and could easily look like a German Axial or Garuda with a bit of sanding. See where this is leading...? A quantum leap in RTF micro realism!
As I suspected, the transmitter has a fourth channel like that of the Taylorcraft 130, to which it is externally identical except for the -100C suffix. In fact the Taylorcraft TX will happily fly the Pup, perhaps at a greater range.
The strong breezes look likely to be with us for at least a week, but it seemed calm in Chester as I was passing through on the way home, so I decided to risk a test flight on the Dee Meadow.
It was almost a flat calm as I fitted the charged battery I'd brought along and did a quick preflight check. I raised the model for a launch, and whoof! You guessed it - a strong gust from nowhere snatched her from my hand and propelled her backwards up to about 30 feet, where she hovered for some 10 seconds. Reduction of power and a bit of down elevator gave her some headway, and she responded predictably to the rudder until an even stronger gust stalled her and she fell tail first into the reedy edge of the only stream crossing the meadow. No damage beyond a slight scratch under one wing, but it was obviously too windy to fly any more. Anyway, results were encouraging, and she should be an absolute sweetie in calm conditions.
The Pup is designed to take a 50 mAh battery, which is what I fitted, and is as described in the blurb, but the actual battery supplied is a 30. Perhaps that accounts for the tail-heaviness in Steve's video. That and the fact that it was flown straight out of the box, with neither room nor time for trimming! Get some 50s if you can; the Pup thrives on them. Thoroughly recommended, even if the dihedral is strong and the flat profile pilot looks odd from some angles. There's no pleasing some people... That dihedral is the only thing I have noticed so far that justifies the description "semi-scale". This Pup is a darn sight more realistic than most "scale" RTF models, and remember it's just a tiny fraction over Peanut scale...
Why are the ends of words carried over to the next line? Never seen that before. Help!! Any suggestions? Is it a fault on my computer?
Update - it seems to have been a Windows fault, corrected by their latest update.
Pup at RNZAF Museum Wigram.
Here are some pictures of the model, showing how it goes together. The battery supplied is apparently a 50 mAh, but shorter and a bit thicker than previous 50s from Ares.
The dihedral seems to be a concession to beginners; I'm sure it can safely be reduced with a sharp knife and some glue. Remember aeromodelling?
