Macabre Kind of Day
Sunday, July 14, 2013
I woke up this morning at about 1am when my husband was just going to sleep. Per normal, I could not go right back to sleep so I got on the internet for a little bit. I went to my usual website and was stunned to see Cory Monteith had passed away. He was just 31. Normally, I take most celebrity deaths with a: well that was sad, but I didn't know them personally. However, for some reason this one has hit me extremely hard. I don't know if it's partially because Glee is my favorite show and I've spent the last few weekends re-watching all the seasons. Or if it's because he's my age. He's actually only 5 months younger than me. And I realize I don't have a drug problem (though to be fair that hasn't been determined to be the cause of death yet) I do have an obesity problem. Who's to say I won't go to bed one night, have a heart attack and never wake back up because of my weight?
To top it off, I'm not happy with my life. It's not because of any one particular thing but I always had higher hopes for myself. When I was in high school, it was not my dream to be in my 30's, fat and working a non college educated job. I was going to be a professor, or a doctor, or a lawyer. And then I got lazy. I got complacement and I've slowly watched my life drift out of my control. only, it's not every really been out of my control I've just been too lazy to really bring it all back into focus.
Today that all changes. I have been watching my calories and that will not change but I am going to be more conscious of how active I am. And I'm going to start going to the gym more. This week is a horrible example because I am going on vacation on Wednesday evening for a week but I'm going to the Mall of America so I will have plenty of opportunities to get steps in there. I also have goals in my mind. I want to own a house so I've started working on my credit again. I don't want to wait 4 years for all the weight to be off. I don't want to wake up in 10 years and wonder where my 30's went. I also don't want my husband to wake up one day and not be able to wake me up either.
Sorry if this post was a little on the depressing side today. It's where my thoughts are all day.
RIP Cory Monteith "Finn Hudson" May 1982-July 2013

It's not too late to make changes. I went back to school in my mid-30s and, in the end, earned a Ph.D. I was 50 when I started teaching in a full-time position. I am not the only woman who has done this. I did it because my husband's family died young and mine lived long, so I decided I needed something to occupy myself. Fortunately both of us are alive at 73 and well on our way to 75.

I have to admit that I haven't seen the programme, but to die at such a young age is a tragedy. Well done for turning such sad news into a positive step. It's the first step - and you only need to take small ones. Make each one positive and before you know it you will be well on the way to becoming your desire. Just one step. You've made the first. We are all rooting for you.

Good Luck! I loved Glee too and bothers me to see Cory die so young. He was a very talented person. I hope you get your house and everything else you want from life. Have a long, healthy and happy life!

A Valentine for JKO!
Hello Friends and Family — it's Jackie Santi Flaherty here checking in after the holidays and hoping your New Year started off with a bang. Mine sure did!
This is my seventh dog-blog and the first of 2015. Yes I am a dog whose Pet-Mom (a.k.a Tina Santi Flaherty) thinks is so clever that I am actually capable of writing a blog. She's got that right — I am a bit clever if I may say so myself — and all my dog pals think so too! Especially Skippy (see photo), a gorgeous golden retriever who's a real stud muffin and who I obsess about day and night because Valentine's Day is coming up. I hope he gives me a special present that expresses his true love! I confess I am a few years older than Skippy but my Pet Mom tells me age is just a number and I should feel free to go for him. Skippy says it doesn't matter in the least and that I am always the cutest and most adorable fur-person in the park.

Customer Reviewswrite your review
This scale was reasonably priced, easy to read and light weight. My only complaint is that because the display window was not protected it arrived marred and scratched. Customer service was helpful and sent another one without even wanting the first one returned. Unfortunately the second one arrived worst that the first. I've decided to live with it because its not that bad but it definitely feels like I paid full price for a used item.Reviewed by: K Smith from Townsend, Ma on (11/24/2013)
Ordering and check out were easy. Delivery was quick. I am very happy with the scale. It is lightweight, easy to read, and slides under my sock/underwear cart in my very small bathroom. I will now be placing another order for a food scale. Thank you!Reviewed by: Kathleen Mitchell from Canton, MN on (3/16/2013)

Auburn pastor to begin 6-month deployment to Middle East
By: Jon Schultz, Journal Staff Writer
Donny Crandell takes extended leave from congregation to help troops
In his youth, Donny Crandell couldn't fathom joining the military because he feared the possibility of deployment. Today that possibility is becoming his reality. The senior pastor at Parkside Nazarene Church in North Auburn will leave today on his six-month deployment to Kyrgyzstan, where he will serve as a chaplain at an air transit base in Manas, about 1,000 miles from Afghanistan and more than six times that far from his congregation. "When I was a kid, I was very afraid of going into the military because I didn't want to get deployed, but as I've grown older the opposite of that has come true," said Crandell, a captain in the Air Force. "Now, it's like I want to go into the military so I can go to the frontlines and make a difference." While this will be his first overseas deployment, for the past four years he has been chaplain at the 144th Fighter Wing, California Air National Guard in Fresno, for one weekend every month. As chaplain, he will provide counsel to troops, hold chapel service and do visitations – all things he's done at the Fresno base but he knows he's in for a "shock" on multiple levels. Subzero temperatures are just one of the aspects he'll have to adjust to, he said. "It's a climate shock, a culture shock and it will be somewhat of a ministry shock just to do something of this nature," Crandell said. "People will be tired and fatigued from being gone from home so long, and I'll need to encourage the troops to persevere." Some of them will be 18 years old, fresh from boot camp and suffer from the fear and anxiety that comes with being deployed for the first time, he said. Crandell let go of his personal fears. He hopes to cross into Afghanistan and actually had been scheduled to ride to Bagram before his orders changed, he said. The Bagram Air Base has been a past target of afghan insurgents, including an attack on Sept. 11 this year that killed three afghan intelligence employees and wounded NATO personnel amid the destruction of a NATO helicopter, according to a report from the Associated Press. He admits there would be safety concerns if he travels into Afghanistan, where Operation Enduring Freedom continues. "There's one statement that's like a bumper sticker, and it kind of rules my life: 'All gave some, but some gave all,'" Crandell said. "If I happen to be one of those who gave all? Yeah, I'm OK with that." Bittersweet sendoff Parkside Nazarene Church is having a sending-off service for Crandell at 9 a.m. today, and, aside from prayers for him, the pledge of allegiance and national anthem will be performed. Barbara Schwab of Colfax has been attending the Parkside church for a year and Crandell's deployment especially hits home with her because her son is in the Army. "I think there's going to be lots of joy and lots of expressions of appreciation for Donny," Schwab said. "It's very bittersweet. We're so proud of him, but it's hard to let him go, and he's lined up great staff to stand in the gap while he's gone, but it's going to be hard because we all really love him." Little more than a year ago, Schwab's son returned from a yearlong deployment in Iraq. Sgt. Timothy Schwab, 23, is currently stationed in Hawaii and is coming home for a month in November, she said. In the middle of his tour, he came home on leave and loud noises from construction and jets flying overhead caused him tension, reminding him of the rockets that hit his base in Iraq – even though it was not on the frontlines of war, she said. Knowing how difficult it was for her son to find a good chaplain, those who Crandell will serve are "really blessed," Schwab said. "It's hard work to be a pastor and shepherd a bunch of stinky sheep, it really is, and also to do the chaplaincy," she said. "When he tells the stories about what he's done, it just melts my mother's heart." About 1,200 military members and about as many nationals will be at the Kyrgyzstan base, and Crandell will be the only protestant chaplain, he said, while there will also be ones representing different religions. Encouraging perseverance Chaplains are on the front lines for suicide prevention in the military, which has become an especially heightened issue, Crandell said. Marriage counseling will be another one of his important roles, he said. Crandell teaches a suicide prevention and resiliency class at the Fresno base, and he said he has already been called on during several situations of potential suicide. "(When) I'm able to encourage them to keep living and help them find reasons for living is probably the most rewarding thing," he said. "And then being able to encourage the troops to persevere." He said he hasn't worked with any wounded troops – something he could likely do on his deployment – but he's seen his fair share of pain. Part of the chaplain's role is to notify family within four hours of receiving confirmation of a soldier's death. The most difficult experience of his chaplaincy came on Christmas day, when he had to deliver one such message to a San Jose family. "We went to the house and while they were having Christmas festivities and Christmas presents around the trees and little kids running around the house, we had to knock on the door and break the news. It was to the mother," he said. "The wife was not there." Crandell is a man of "tremendous compassion," and he's going to need every ounce of it along with his pastoral skills on his deployment, said Lt. Col. Wes Clare, wing chaplain for the 144th Fighter Wing and Crandell's supervisor. "When you have a warrior who is wounded in the battlefield, when he's in the theatre hospital, it's the chaplain who will see him, who will pray with him, who will listen when they need someone to talk to," Clare said. "When someone writes a 'Dear John letter' who is just going to give up on life because he thinks no one cares for him, it is the chaplain who will chase him down and spend time with him. "If you have a warrior whose best friend just got killed or seriously wounded in the battlefield and the image has haunted him, and he's afraid of getting post traumatic stress disorder, he can go to the chaplain and get the wounds of his heart and battlefield off his chest." Working his magic Crandell began preparing both himself and his church for his deployment six months ago, he said. He joined a local fitness boot camp that meets three days a week and has been cycling and playing softball to stay in shape. Along with an officer's training classes and a basic chaplain course, he had to pass a physical test that required him to do 40 pushups in a minute, 45 sit-ups in a minute, and run 1 1/2 miles in less than 14 minutes. As for Parkside Nazarene Church, Crandell spent months of preparing lesson plans, programs, ministries and bringing in an interim pastor. And he wanted to get the church refinanced, help its softball team win its Auburn Recreation District league and win his division at the Toastmasters. Missions accomplished. "Every goal that I had hoped for has been accomplished," Crandell said. "So I can leave this Sunday feeling good about everything." On Friday, he was brushing up on some tricks he has up his sleeve to keep the mood light overseas. Crandell is a professional magician and put on a magic show at Romero Elementary School in Santa Nella. "One of my little tools I use is magic tricks to keep people laughing," he said. "It's my little trick of the trade to lighten the mood, get guys' minds off of what we're doing from time to time." While he's working his magic in Kyrgyzstan, Barbara Schwab and others from his congregation will be praying for him back in Auburn. "The stinky sheep will be OK," she said.

(He should not be confused with the Canadian astronomer Jacques Paul Vallée. ) In mainstream science, Vallée is notable for co-developing the first computerized mapping of Mars for NASA and for his work at SRI International in creating ARPANET, a precursor to the modern Internet. Vallée is also an important figure in the study of unidentified flying objects (UFOs), first noted for a defense of the scientific legitimacy of the extraterrestrial hypothesis and later for promoting the Interdimensional hypothesis similar partly to Mac Tonnies cryptoterr...

Biography of John Marshall
John Marshall (September 24, 1755 July 6, 1835) was an American statesman and jurist who shaped American constitutional law and made the Supreme Court a center of power. Marshall was Chief Justice of the United States, serving from February 4, 1801, until his death in 1835. He served in the United States House of Representatives from March 4, 1799, to June 7, 1800, and, under President John Adams, was Secretary of State from June 6, 1800, to March 4, 1801. Marshall was from the Commonwealth of Virginia and a leader of the Federalist Party. The longest serving Chief Justice in Supreme Court history, Marshall dominated the Court for over three decades (a term outliving his own Federalist Party) and played a significant role in the development of the American legal system. Most notably, ...

Definition of Islam in English:
- They argue Islam is a religion of peace and that Islamic faith is not the cause of terrorism.
- It does not cover cults within other world religions such as Islam and Hinduism.
- Now we have to watch some other clerics on TV talking about Islam being a religion of peace.
- Still, we have to take some steps of our own for the sake of the future of Islam and Muslims in India.
- We can read the Koran and study Islam, but we are not Muslims and cannot know what Islam means to a Muslim.
- To me it shows what little knowledge they have of Islam and how out of touch with Muslims they are.
Founded in the Arabian peninsula in the 7th century ad, Islam is now the professed faith of more than a billion people worldwide, particularly in North Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Asia. The ritual observances and moral code of Islam were said to have been given to Muhammad as a series of revelations, which were codified in the Koran. Islam is regarded by its adherents as the last of the revealed religions, and Muhammad is seen as the last of the prophets, building on and perfecting the examples and teachings of Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. There are two major branches in Islam: Sunni and Shia
- Example sentences
- Their ideology was Islamization and Muslim communalism respectively.
- The Islamisation of politics gives clerics a freehand to rule, with little regard for individual freedoms.
- Bhatty underlines the need for studying the ways in which the process of Islamisation has affected caste-like divisions among Muslims.
- Example sentences
- I like to imagine what would have happened had the Arabs won at Potiers and gone on to conquer and Islamise Europe.
- What is their attitude to say banking, is there a desire to Islamise many of the institutions of the West?
- But there is a common underlying ideology to them all that seeks to Islamise the world.
From Arabic 'islām 'submission', from 'aslama 'submit (to God)'.

He wasn't the star of the show, but a Camas boy enjoyed VIP treatment during Saturday's birthday celebration for Packy, the Oregon Zoo's famed Asian elephant.
Six-year-old Leland Heflin was among a handful of children to deliver Packy's 50th birthday cake. The group wheeled the cake — topped with carrots, bananas and celery — directly into the pen before the birthday boy walked in.
"And we all got to see Packy eat his birthday cake," Leland said.
Leland earned his spot in the celebration a few months ago, after he won a drawing and was named the zoo's 50 millionth visitor. He also won gifts and a year-long zoo membership.
Leland's mother, Ericka Lytle, said they made sure to leave time to explore the rest of the zoo before the birthday celebration. Leland saw his other favorites — penguins, wolves and giraffes among them — before heading Packy's way. Lytle said they were also allowed into the trainers' area during the event, attended by thousands of people.
When Packy was born on April 14, 1962, he was the first Asian elephant born in the Western hemisphere in nearly a half-century, according to the Oregon Zoo. His parents were bred nearly two years earlier in Woodland, according to the zoo. The young pachyderm's name was chosen through a contest held by a local radio station.
The birthday celebration wasn't the only honor for Packy this weekend. Portland's Rose Festival also announced that the elephant will serve as grand marshal of the event's Grand Floral Parade in June. (He won't be marching the parade route, however.)
On Saturday, the elephant didn't waste any time digging into his birthday cake. Lytle estimated it was gone in five to 10 minutes.
"It didn't last very long," she said. "He had it gone pretty quick."

Thunder-Mavericks quoteboard — Kevin Durant: 'We have to come up with a better effort the next game.'
Select quotes following Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Dallas Mavericks.
Thunder coach Scott Brooks:
*"I thought Dirk was pretty good tonight. He made some tough shots. We tried to defend him as close as we could and obviously got a little too close."
*"I thought we came out good and then in the second quarter our offense went south on us."
*"(Dirk) had a good rhythm. He got off to a good start and then we were fouling his jump shots. That's just too many fouls. He's one of the best I've ever seen at that position, offensively. A lot of shots you don't think he has a chance of making it, but he does."
*"Kevin was good offensively. Russell missed some shots. He's going to come back better. He was attacking the basket, and that's what we want Russell to do."
*"Defensively we just have to do a better job of stopping their players. One guy had 48 points. Our starters played well, but we have to figure out how to stop those players."
*"I felt we needed a spark, and that's what (Nate Robinson) does."
*"We just can't foul him that many times. Twenty-four free throws is too much."
*"I just think that (Dirk) had a terrific game. He was making his jump shots, and he was making his free throws."
*"Barea is a talented young player that has improved every year. He's good. I read the paper yesterday, and Jason Kidd compared him to me, but that's way off. I'm no where near as good as that kid."
Thunder star Kevin Durant:
*On defending Nowitzki when he's hot and getting foul calls: "It's frustrating, but we have to keep our composure. We know we got to continue to play our game. We have to make adjustments. But we can't get discouraged. He's a good player. He's going to make shots."
*"Both teams are very aggressive on the offensive end. Those guys did a great job of putting pressure on us."
*"We have to come with a better effort the next game."
*"We were down 14 but came back and made it a game."
*"We have to do a better job of helping each other out. The pick and roll is something they did well tonight."
*"With Dirk, you can't put a jump shooter on the free throw line 24 times."
*"On what makes Dirk so hard to defend: He's a 7-foot jump shooter, and he shoots one-legged fadeaways."
*"I was trying to play (Dirk) physical. I tried to knock the ball out of his hands and I picked up two fouls."
*"I could bet my whole house that Russell Westbrook won't go 3-for-15 again. You can quote me on that."
*"I have a lot of faith in my teammates. I'm still going to pass them the ball. One guy can't win a series. Two guys can't win a series. We have to stick together."
*"We were still in the game. They made more plays than we did. We have to keep pushing and play harder. It's a series. You don't win a series in one game."
*"They do a great job of spacing the floor with the shooters they have. We have to do a better job with the pick and roll."
*"It's going to be a tough challenge for us, but it's something we can handle."
*On the foul calls: "It's frustrating. After playing a physical series with Memphis, that's what we were used to. It's a learning experience."
*On the value of being able size up Dallas: "Nah, we're professionals. Our coaching staff gets us prepared every day. You have to make adjustments and be able to turn around. I knew we had a Game 7 against Memphis. You just have to adjust."
*"We can't get discouraged. (Dirk) is going to make tough shots. I think that next game it'll be a little different."
Thunder guard Thabo Sefolosha:
*On foul calls on Nowitzki: "More than playing against a guy that's on fire like that is when he gets some questionable calls. It plays with your mind because then you start thinking, 'What should I do?' You can't be too aggressive, but at the same time you want to be aggressive."
Thunder guard Russell Westbrook:
*"I just missed shots."
Thunder guard James Harden:
*"We'll be fine. We're just getting a feel for them (coming) from a different series. So we're just going to have to adjust and watch film and be ready for Game 2."
Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki:
*"Is it now or never? We feel like every year is a new opportunity for us. We're just trying to go for it."
*"I was working a lot on my shot. I was in the gym every night (on our time off). When the first couple go in it's even better for the confidence."
*"I was really looking to shoot early and really was able to get my rhythm; made the first couple of shots and that is always big for a shooter. And after that, I just kept attacking."
*"Our bench was really great attacking. Everybody came through for us tonight."
*"It's a win. Really that's all I care about. It was a tough Game 1. They kept coming. Durant kept making tough shots."
*"We found a way to win, and that's what it's all about."
*"Numbers don't mean anything if you lose."
*"(Westbrook) is so good in the open court. He's so explosive getting to the rim. We've got to get back, and I thought we did a decent job. He still shot 18 free throws, so he's still getting to the rim."
*"We weren't quite as sharp as we needed to be in the first quarter."
*"I thought we held our own on the boards, which was big."
*"I thought both teams tried to play physical, and there were a lot fouls called. They shot more free throws than we did. That's on the players to feel their way through the officiating early and to find a way to adjust."
*"We've got to be better. In the fourth quarter, we had a nice lead and we started trading baskets."
*"I think Game 2 is even bigger than Game 1. We've got to be better, and we've got to stay solid defensively."
*Teammate "(J.J. Berea) is fearless. He can finish off the dribble with the best of them."
*"What really helps him now is that he's really worked on his 3-point shot. Now, you can't just go under him and ... dare him to shoot."
*"(Durant) is tough. He started off really in a groove. He's got a quick release, and he's long. He's a tough cover for the entire league. He's so long he can basically get a shot up at any time. It's not one guy, you've got to put several guys on him. He made some tough shots tonight, and that's why he's one of the best players in the league."
*"We know they're more of a perimeter oriented team with Durant, Harden off the bench as well as Westbrook. I thought Tyson did a good job trying to protect the paint, and that's what I try to do as well."
Mavericks guard Jason Terry:
*"This was a big game for us, and we needed to win this one after the long layoff."
Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle:
*"I thought maybe the biggest key to the game was (Shawn) Marion coming back after he got his nose broken by (Kendrick) Perkins. We need him out there to try and deal with (Kevin) Durant. He was bleeding. He had things stuck up his nose. It was a really difficult situation. But we desperately needed him out there."
*"(Dirk) played great, obviously. We had a long layoff, but guys worked hard during that period. Dirk spends a lot of time working on his game. Getting to the bonus was big because that helped get him to the free throw line."
*"We're going to have to quit fouling (Oklahoma City) as much. This series is going to be, in large part, about the free throw line."
*"We're going to have to play better. Westbrook had a very subpar game for him. We had a lot of loose possessions that we're going to have to clean up."
*"I thought maybe the biggest key to the game was Marion coming back after he got his nose broken by Perkins. We desperately needed him out there."
*"Nowitzki was spectacular."
*"We're going to have to have some more guys get involved in the scoring, and I think Oklahoma City is going to feel the same way about their team."
*"One thing that is disappointing is that we got out-rebounded."
*"(Dirk is) so good that in efforts to prevent him from getting the ball he draws a lot of fouls. There are very few guys in the league that can do that. Unfortunately for us, one of those other guys is Durant."
*"I wasn't worried about the rust. I was worried about concentration slippage."
*"They have a lot of pride in their ability to guard people. There will be an adjustment. They're going to do what they have to do."

U-T EconoMeter: Will latest economic stimulus help?
But they say immediate results are not assured
In the long run, the payback will be good in the form of a recovering economy that can pay down this debt.
Infrastructure investment is a good stimulant and the nation needs better infrastructure.
Yet, I do not see this investment as having anything near the impact locally as, say, the recent upsurge in military spending that is circulating throughout San Diego. That is way bigger, and significantly more important to our region.
Norm Miller, CoStar Group
We have strong needs for transportation infrastructure and we would benefit greatly from R&D support for our fledgling bio-tech and other tech industries. We have groups like CleanTECH San Diego that may be able to help us lobby for a share of such funding. I hope we can do better than our education system submissions for funding which were negated by teacher unions.
Seems to me we are a natural for some significant R&D funding.
Lynn Reaser, Point Loma Nazarene University
R&D spending represents one of the cornerstones of San Diego's economy. Although much of this investment would proceed even without tax incentives, enlarging the tax benefit and making it permanent should support key industries, including biotech and medical devices.
Funds for infrastructure would also be welcome, although San Diego might receive at most about $600 million (spread out over two years or more) based on its share of national GDP (gross domestic product). The president's proposal to allow 100 percent expensing of capital spending through 2011 could also help, although firms remain anxious over other possible tax increases as well as rising health care costs.
Dan Seiver, San Diego State University
Public infrastructure investments and government R&D subsidies are two powerful, long-run stimulants to economic growth. They may not provide a lot of jobs in the short run, but they increase our productivity in the long run, and that is what makes real incomes increase.
Whether the spending will benefit San Diego directly in the short run depends on just which infrastructure projects are undertaken, and which San Diego companies take advantage of the R&D subsidy.
In any case, the effects will be small in the short run, even though the national effects will be strongly positive in the long run.
Ask the economists
Each week the Business section will ask its panel of economists to weigh in on an economic issue of concern to San Diegans. They'll answer yes or no, up or down or give a neutral response.
If you have a question you'd like them to address, send it to firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Aquarius loves a party. Anytime, anywhere is their motto. It is not unlikely that an Aquarius will consider a wake a good place to meet chicks. Aquarians love to be naked. It is even better if they are naked and crocked. Froot Loops is a very Aquarian cereal. So is Rice Krispies, since it will engage in a friendly chat with the Aquarian as he or she is eating breakfast. Count Chocula is off-limits, however. It belongs to the Scorpios. Aquarians use the phrase "Dude, man..." frequently when describing philosophical concepts. Aquarians have out-of-body experiences on a daily basis. If you are talking to an Aquarian and he or she zones out, consider the conversation hopeless. He or she is talking to the guy three feet away from you. Aquarians are fun because they channel people. Plus, if you tell them to, they will run around naked. Aquarians like astronomy because they've been to all those places. If you want to know what the food is like on Saturn, ask an Aquarius. Aquarians can allow themselves every possible vice on the planet, and don't think twice about it. That is why they piss everyone else off. They are cosmically entitled to do this.

It turned out to be a disappointing year, but that doesn't mean we didn't have fun…let's take a short look back.
March -
Spring Training begins late because of the WBC. Ryan Braun was on the USA team, but after hurting himself a little bit, the team wanted him to return. He stayed and ended up hitting .381. Meanwhile, Casey McGehee was making a push to make the team which he did. Tyler thought he should just give up. Ah hindsight is a powerful thing because nobody stood up for Casey either except for some guy named Jim. Come back to our site, Jim, and post more counterarguements. We were all happy when Brad Nelson made the team.
What we enjoyed:
- Casey hitting bombs
- Hardy hitting .400
- Hart, Nelson, Duffy, and Hall all looked good (this is what Jared meant when he said hot hitters in spring are made into news, but it doesn't mean anything)
What we didn't
- Hoffman getting hurt
- Yovani walking almost as many as he struck out
April -
The opening month started off not how anyone expected. The Brewers were 4-9 by mid-April, but were able to turn it to 12-10 by the end of the month. I was totally wrong that J.J. Hardy was going to turn it around, but I was totally right that Prince Fielder was going to turn it around.
What we enjoyed:
- Winning the home opener
- Rickie Weeks hitting the ball and scoring runs
- Todd Coffey getting out of jams
- Yovani Gallardo hitting home runs and pitching a complete game
- The unveiling of Hells Bells upon Miller
What we didn't:
- Losing the season opener against the Giants
- Manny Parra's pitching woes
- Being under .500 most of the month
- Prince and J.J slumping
May -
In May, the Brewers went on a winning binge, including winning 7 straight games. This was the team the fans thought we had. Hoffman was saving everything and things were clicking…well not everything. Brad Nelson and Chris Duffy weren't hitting so they were sent packing. Manny Parra couldn't get things right, and Jorge Julio stunk. By the 50 game mark, the Brewers were 30-20
Things we enjoyed:
- Prince knocking the ball all over
- The lights going out at Miller all of a sudden was fun to see
- Brewers team ERA under 4
- Trevor saving everything
Things we didn't:
- Corey Hart didn't look right at the plate or in the field
- Bill Hall being Bill Hall
- In what might have been his best year, the team lost Rickie Weeks for the year
June -
The Brewers went 12-15 in June but were somehow still on top on the Central. The Cubs and Cards were struggling as well. The Brewers were swept by Colorado and Detroit, but it wasn't because of Braun and Fielder who hit 20 home runs together in June. Matt Gamel started hot, but quickly faltered. Casey McGehee hit over .360 in June which gave him a lot more playing time. Craig Counsell was in the midst of his renaissance season and Brewers fans felt good about Counsell at second and McGehee at third. If only J.J. could have turned it up.
What we enjoyed:
- Prince and Braun being big boppers
- Casey McGehee showing that his strong spring wasn't a fluke
- Prince hit his first grand slam for a win against the Indians
- DiFelice looked great out of the pen
What we didn't:
- Dave Bush and Manny Parra were killing the team
- Tony Gwynn Jr. was traded for Jody Gerut
- The Brewers were losing more than they were winning and could have pulled away
July -
With the Brewers, there always seems to be one godawful month. This year, it was July, when the Brewers went 9-17. The Brewers started July in first. July 4th would be the last time the Brewers would see first place. The Brewers lost every series in July, exept one. A series tie with the lowly Natinals. When the Trade Deadline came and the Brewers needed a shot in the arm, they were given Claudio Vargas while the Cardinals recieved Matt Holliday. An underappreciated move at the time was the aquisition of Felipe Lopez.
What we enjoyed:
- Prince, Brauny, and Trev in the Mid-Summer Classic
- Prince winning the home run derby!
- Felipe Lopez being acquired
What we didn't:
- Bill Hall, Corey Hart, and J.J. Hardy not performing
- A lack of clutch hitting
- A pitching meltdown. The Brewers had 7 pitchers start in July and only two had ERA's under 4.
- The Brewers went from first to 4.5 down
August -
With visions of last year's August still in our memories, Brewers fans were holding on for hope. The Brewers almost hit .500 in August, but it was the Cardinals that had a monster month. The Brewers by the end of the month were 12 games out of first. The pitching woes never let up. It was so bad, I stopped blogging (also due to moving across the state).
What we enjoyed:
- Casey, Prince, Felipe, and Braun.
- Bill Hall sent to the Minors
- J.J. Hardy sent to the Minors (and quick thinking by US Cellular officials turned the J.J. Hardy Cut-out contest into the Yovani Gallardo cut-out contest)
- Bill Hall traded away
What we didn't:
- Relievers started dying out (see DiFelice, Mark)
- Hope faded
- Again, there were 7 starters for the Brewers in August. Not one pitcher had an ERA under 4.
- Corey Hart on the DL
- Cardinals pulled away
September/October -
By September, fans knew the team was done. J.J. Hardy came back and didn't impact anything. Prince Fielder did some sort of bowling thing and the media tried to turn it into a big thing, but it wasn't (only one Giant said boo on it). The Brewers were swept by the Cards in mid-September. The wild card wasn't even a thought this year. We were hoping for .500 at home, then .500 at all, but didn't get either. To be honest, September is kind of hazy to me. The Brewers went .500 over this stretch, which meant they weren't terrible. But they threw lineups and pitchers out there just to see if there was a future for them.
What we liked:
- The team never showed that they stopped trying.
- Prince finished his career year (162 starts, about .300 BA, most RBI's in a season by a Brewer)
- Braun had his 200th hit of the season be a home run.
What we didn't:
- Any time we went to the park, less and less people showed up. It was the opposite of last year.
- Braden Looper giving up more home runs than anyone in a Brewer uni
- Being under .500 at Miller and overall
- Dave Bush and Manny Parra, the two pitchers the team needed to step up, ending their abysmal year on very low notes.
All the hope at the beginning of the year turned into mush at the end of the year. The organization gambled on the pitching they had and lost that bet badly. Ken Macha had his first losing season. The Brewers wasted amazing efforts by Prince Fielder, Ryan Braun, Casey McGehee, and Craig Counsell. And even though the pitching gets a lot of the blame, the team also had offensive outages. That said, it's impossible for sucess when the team's ERA was second worst in the NL and 4th worse in the ML. The team has already said that they are looking to improve pitching, but how much can you improve when all the players you're willing to part with underperformed this past year? That's the question on everyone's mind heading into the offseason.

This paper examines two recent contributions to the hate speech literature – by Steven Heyman and Jeremy Waldron – which seek a justification for the legal restriction of hate speech in an account of the way that hate speech infringes against people's dignity. These analyses look beyond the first-order hurts and disadvantages suffered by the immediate targets of hate speech, and consider the prospect of hate speech sustaining complex social structures whose wide-scale operations lower the social status of members of targeted groups. In Heyman's and Waldron's accounts we find plausible insights into the nature of identity-based social hierarchies, and the harms that redound to subordinated people under the operations of such hierarchies. I argue, however, that both analyses are unsuccessful as justifications for the restriction of hate speech, because they do not ultimately provide reason to think that hate speech is responsible for creating or sustaining identity-based social hierarchies.

adidas' Feet You Wear technology is coming back, as the 1996 innovation looks to be one of the many technologies at play on the new adidas FYW Prime Skin. That 90s cushioning system (Seen on models like the adidas Top Ten 2000) is paired here with quite the futuristic looking upper, one that keeps up the anatomical inspiration with its tight Prime Skin wrap. What's more, the models also come equipped with an asymmetrical zipper set up should you find that second set of skin a little too constricting. See more on the adidas' new FYW Prime Skin pairs just after the jump and keep in mind that they should be releasing around February 2014.
