July 2009
House of Horrors
When the White Sox come into the Metrodome, do you think that songs like that are running through their brain?! Amazingly, after looking like a glorified Double-A squad against the Yankees, the Twins were able to put together a strong effort and inch back towards that runner-up slot in the AL Central.
Of course, in the first inning it helped when Chicago starter turned the game into the rough equivalent of one of these:
Danks walked the first four batters of the game and a big hit from Jason Kubel gave the Twins an early lead. Of course, since nothing is easy with this year's bunch, the White Sox kept pecking away at the defecit until finally tying it in the sixth inning (only a tremendous leaping catch from Michael Cuddyer at the base of the baggie prevented the Sox from taking a lead). I was a bit nervous at this point, but Blackie was still pitching well and the pen did their job the rest of the way. This should come as no surprise, but this guy…
…got the big two out hit in the seventh inning that put the Twins in front, while a perfect squeeze bunt from Carlos Gomez an inning later scored Matt Tolbert (pinch running for Kubel after his third hit of the game) with a big insurance run that allowed Joe Nathan to do his thing in the ninth:
Preview (44-43, 3rd, 0.5 GB CWS): Gavin Floyd (6-6, 4.33) vs. Glen Perkins (4-4, 4.38). Ozzie Guillen juggled his rotation to have his Big Three horses face the Twins this weekend. That went well (at least so far).
Emperors And Idiots
Just recently, I finished reading Mike Vaccaro's book entitled "Emperors and Idiots" and had fun re-living the Yankees/Red Sox rivalry of 2003 and 2004 (as well as down throughout the years). However, after watching the Twins get swept (once again) by the Yankees this past week, I think that title could very well ring true to the contests between these two teams as well. Basically, the Yankees are the emperors, and they make the Twins look like idiots.
Each of the three games of this most recent series was, in its own right, a little slice of why the Yankees thump the Twins so bad each and every game. First, was the big blowout where the Yankees just teed-off on Scott Baker. Second, was the Twins' bats running into the buzzsaw that is A.J. Burnett (I almost titled this post "Why do guys named A.J. always haunt the Twins?") while we throw Anthony Swarzak in against the most powerful lineup in the game. Finally, Thursday's matinee was just that kind of game where the Twins kept battling for all nine innings, but the Yankees always had an answer with their bats.
To put it bluntly, the Yankees make us look like a minor league outfit for one primary reason: our pitching isn't good enough to stop their tremendous hitting. Unless Nick Blackburn were to take the mound, there would be no starter-starter combination that would favor the Twins. Baker is too inconsistent, Liriano is Liriano, Swarzak's just a kid, and Perkins is erratic.
All told, the series can be summed up in two pictures:
Preview (43-43, 3rd, 1.5 GB CWS): John Danks (7-6, 3.76) vs. Nick Blackburn (7-4, 2.94). Coming into the Yankees series, the Twins were in second place and nipping at Detroit's heels. Now they are in third place and looking up at the Pale Hose as well. A "statement series" before the All-Star break would be nice, as would the bump in the standings.
The last time the Twins and Yankees met, earlier this season in mid-May at Yankee Stadium, the Twins got owned, plain and simple. We played tough in every game, yet the Yanks always found a way to come back and beat us in the late or extra innings.
However, things have always been a bit different at the Metrodome (save for the '03 and '04 ALDS series') for the Yankees. While they haven't exactly struggled at the park, they also haven't come in too many times and waltzed all over us, either. If the Twins are on their "A" game, they can compete with anybody, but the difficult part is doing it for all nine innings against the Bronx Bombers. With other teams you can have easy outs or innings, but against New York it is easy for things to spiral out of control at any time, what with the cavalcade of hitters they send up to the plate one after another (no Buscher-Punto-Gomez combination in that lineup).
As you can probably tell, I'm pumped for tonight's contest. Maybe we'll even see some of this…
Mean? Yeah. Deserved? Absolutely!
Preview (43-40, 2nd, 1.5 GB DET): C.C. Sabathia (7-5, 3.85) vs. Scott Baker (6-6, 4.99). All things considered, there really couldn't be a more fitting way for this series to begin. Baker is, rather mysteriously, a historic Yankee killer, while the Twins will be reacquainted with old nemesis C.C., who either owns us or gets rattled in the early innings.
Thoughts From The First Two Games
A few random thoughts from the first two games of the current Twins-Tigers series:
-Though going 16 innings and losing is bad enough for players and fans alike, I really can't pin the blame on anyone in particular. The Tiger bullpen was just throwing gas, and the Twins' batters were (by and large) having decent at-bats. They just couldn't string enough hits together to get that elusive run across the plate.
-The Twins showed a little moxie today after Liriano gave up the big fly to Magglio Ordonez to give the pinstriped ones their short-lived lead. In a game that needed to be won, the Twins came up with some clutch at-bats and were able to get the job done. Now, we just need to take care of business tomorrow and things will be okay again.
-I never like to see a pitcher like Kevin Slowey go on the disabled list, but hopefully this will give him some time to either: A. get his wrist checked out, or B. get his mind right and back in that groove he had been in until a week or so ago. Swarzak can probably fill in decently for Slowey, but we need Kevin back to his Brad Radke-esque form, where he can pitched deep into games and always give us a chance to win.
-I really think that Denard Span and Carlos Gomez need to stop fighting over outfield assists. Eventually there is going to be a nasty train-wreck out there if they don't get on the same page. I think the problem is that both players, being center fielders by natural position, are used to calling off all other fielders (usually the CF's perogative) to catch the ball. However, Span is playing out in left alot recently, and in the back of his mind he probably knows that Gomez doesn't take the best routes to balls but will scream for the catch anyway.
-Former Cubbie star Mark Grace was showing some serious love for the M&M boys today in the FOX TV broadcast. Well-deserved, too, as they contributed to most of the scoring. I look forward to watching them in the All-Star Game (which the roster for will be released tomorrow, by the way).
-Finally, today's Fourth of July holiday also marks the 70th anniversary of Lou Gehrig giving what is now famously known as his 'Luckiest Man" speech. I know that the Iron Horse was second-banana to The Babe for so many years, but in that moment he showed what was truly in his heart all that time…kindness, gentleness, yet a competitive spirit that made him choked up over being taken out of a lineup when he was actually dying. It still gives me goosebumps every time I see it. Greatest first baseman of all-time? Yes. Is there really any other serious competition?!
-Of course, for a little lighter holiday fare, you could check out the annual SciFi Channel Twilight Zone marathon. Still a creepy show all these years later!
Preview (42-40, 2nd, 0.5 GB CWS for 2nd): Rick Porcello (8-5, 3.90) vs. Nick Blackburn (6-4, 3.10). Need to win this series…that is all.
Ahh…That's More Like It
Up until just recently, the Minnesota Twins had owned the Kansas City Royals. During the "division title years" earlier this decade, the Twins would routinely come into KC and get fat both at the plate and on the mound. Recently (the past few seasons), though, the Royals have morphed into one of our toughest divisional opponents. Though perennial cellar-dwellers (although I won't gloat too much, as I, having grown up in the 1990s with Twins Baseball, know what that is like), the Royals seem to bring their A-game when the Twins come to town. The first two games of this series only served to continue that trend, with the Twins and Royals playing each other very tough, right down to the wire.
That being said, today the Royals reverted back to their old ways and gave the Twins a much-needed victory. Glen Perkins was by no means perfect (allowing 10 hits over seven innings), but the Royals could only muster a measly one run for all their efforts. More daunting, though, were the defensive miscues, such as a ball that went right through the wickets of second baseman Callaspo, and a ball lost in the sun by Willie Bloomquist. John Bale walking in a run even put a cap on things. For a time, and had the Twins not needed a win so badly I would have felt worse, I felt bad for the boys in royal blue, as this kind of play just seems to be their kind of lot in life. I know how difficult it is to compete in today's game without a large payroll, and the Royals continue to get bit time and time again. Whenever a guy gets good (Johnny Damon, Carlos Beltran, etc.) he gets shipped somewhere else, or else a player that once looked great suddenly falters and is gone within a year or two (too many to count).
The Twins were actually really lucky back in the early 2000s to have the nucleus (Santana, Hunter, Jones, Koskie, Dougie Baseball, Guzman, etc.) come together so quickly. The Royals have not been so lucky, instead reduced to playing "payroll roulette" and hoping the hit the jackpot. Were it not for the fact that the Twins need to make a living by beating them, I would love to see the Royals develop into a competitive franchise once again.
Preview (41-39, T-2nd w/CWS, 3.0 GB DET): Lucas French (0-0, 0.00) vs. Kevin Slowey (10-3, 4.41). The fact that the Tigers, playing in perhaps the most important series of their season so far (as are the Twins), are sending a guy making his major league debut to the Metrodome mound tells you something about where they are right now pitching-wise. Hopefully the Twins can take advantage of it.
One Man Show
Back in their hey-day, the Three Stooges used a gag in one of their infamous shorts where Curly and Larry create the "Two Man Quartet", much to the dismay of Moe (2:22 in the clip).
Tonight, the Minnesota Twins used a similar approach to beat the Kansas City Royals. A dinger from Justin Morneau (into the waterfalls!) and a run-scored from Joe Mauer provided the only offense of the game. The M&M Boys strike again!
Scott Baker did just enough (i.e. got lucky) to survive through five innings and a buttload of pitches, but was picked up nice by a very strong outing from newcomer Bobby Keppel. You mean we kept him the minors while Ayala and Crain stunk up the joint for months…grrr.
A strong showing? By no means. We should pound KC…we didn't. Baker should breeze through their lineup…he struggled. Yet, a win is a win and keeps us in the same spot we were last night: On the cusp of contention, on the brink of utter failure.
Preview (40-39, T-2 w/CWS, 4.0 GB DET): Glen Perkins (3-4, 4.70) vs. Gil Meche (4-7, 4.27). With a big Detroit showdown looming this weekend, the Twins don't want to fall any further behind in the "division race" (a.k.a. who sucks the least down the stretch).

Easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Daylilies perform well in a wide range of well-drained soils, but prefer a deep, fertile loam. Deadhead spent flowers daily for neatness and remove scapes when flowers have completed bloom. Tolerant of summer heat and humidity, but appreciates deep watering in dry spells to keep foliage attractive. Daylilies should be divided to maintain vigor when the clumps become overcrowded.
'Apricot' is one of the first daylilies to be hybridized and registered. Parents are reportedly H. flava and H. middendorffii. Yellow-orange flowers appear in early season on naked stems (scapes) that typically rise to 34" tall above a clump of arching, linear, blade-like, green leaves. Flowers are fragrant. Individual flowers open up for one day. Repeat bloomer. Yeld, 1893.
No serious insect or disease problems. Daylilies are extremely adaptable perennials. They are easy to grow and virtually pest free.
Borders. Mass over large areas or grow in clumps. Fountain-like leaves provide elegant foliage, color and texture for the garden when flowers are not in bloom. Daylilies can crowd out weeds and form a verdant ground cover.

Even on really large hackle it doesn't hold tight. I was really hoping these would be good for small and delicate hackle but, they are basically useless to me. At least they were cheap.

Convenient tool
Reviewer: A viewer from Ann Arbor, MI US
This a rather convenient tool, which is definitely worth having on your fly tying desk. The only flaws I can think of are the lack of a handle and its light weight. Although again, these are just properties of the item which you can learn to work with. Worth having.
Excellent investment for rookies
Reviewer: A viewer from New Westminster, BC CA
As a new tyer I am still all thumbs at times. This little gadget was like having a third hand and made it much easier during the tying process.
My only wish was that it was a little more weighted.
Doesn't hold tightly
Reviewer: A viewer from CHRISTIANSBURG, VA USA
I was a little disappointed in this product. I am not especially heavy handed but nonetheless have found it very difficult to keep a grip on the feathers. Bending the hook tighter helped a little but not much. It is also hard to get a good grip on the pliers. They work okay for allowing head cement to dry on small flies and for photographs but other than that I would suggest an alternative.

Swindle in Swanton, VT
The Marble Man came in the spring, when the rushing Missisquoi River tumbles gray and white past forgotten mills in Swanton, Vermont. He could have been just another regular at Pam's Place, swapping stories over coffee with the locals — hunters and fishermen, dairy farmers, truck drivers, border-patrol officers, and commuters to St. Albans and Burlington.
He was unassuming, tall and rangy in his jeans and baseball cap, affable and mild-mannered, with an appreciation for local history and eager to put Swanton back on the map.
He appeared one day like a miracle, driving up from Burlington in an SUV, steering past the village green with its Victorian bandstand, past the old cemetery with the Civil War monument, and stopping at Town Hall, which stands near a historic Episcopal church, fashioned a hundred years ago from rough red stone hewn from local ground.
It was the red stone that had brought John Byors to Swanton, one of only two places in the world (the other is Spain) known to produce a marble of this particular red hue: a rich, dusky, creamy-veined stone known here as Swanton Red. It was first quarried from a hill on the edge of town in the late 1800s by George Barney, who had also built the mighty Barney Marble Mill on the Missisquoi.
Once, the precious stone had been carted by boat down Lake Champlain and beyond, cut and polished to ornament the Vermont State House, the baptismal font of a church in Montreal, the Detroit Post Office, the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia, Washington's Union Station, and the Southern California Savings Bank in Los Angeles, among other sites.
But the quarry hadn't operated on a regular basis since just after World War II. When Byors arrived in 2000 to reopen the quarry, it had been more than 30 years since any stone had been taken out. But now, in the Middle East and the Far East, there were new markets of opulence demanding Swanton Red, and serious money to be made. And Swanton would profit, too. Byors planned a magnificent marble museum to lure tourists speeding by on I-89, complete with horse-drawn carts and old-fashioned barges on the Missisquoi: a northern Vermont Rock of Ages (like the widely visited granite quarry in Barre), tinted Swanton Red.
Over the next few years, Byors's plan progressed. The quarry came alive again, with trucks rumbling down the dirt road, carting away stone. Byors donated a polished red marble sign to Town Hall and a marble countertop to the visitor's center at the Missisquoi Wildlife Refuge. Swanton schoolchildren took field trips to the quarry. Byors optioned several hundred surrounding acres for his museum. He dropped by Town Hall and gave the secretaries red "Barney bears" — small animal figurines carved from polished marble. When residents asked, he paved their driveways with crushed marble chips.
Occasionally, investors would come by to view the operation and leave reassured by the cool, smooth touch of the rock. The Marble Man had promised to double their money, and any doubts faded away as they surveyed the fortune at their feet.
Dick Thompson, the Swanton town administrator, was cautiously optimistic when he first met John Byors and heard his plans. Thompson, a small, wiry man of 61, is a lifelong Swanton resident. He can tell you that Swanton, six miles from the Canadian border, is one of Vermont's earliest towns, built on the site of older Abenaki and French settlements and chartered in 1763. Town Hall, a former schoolhouse, was built eight years before Abraham Lincoln was elected president.
The son of a St. Albans railroad man, Thompson played as a boy in the abandoned shafts and tunnels of the old Barney plant, now Marble Mill Park. He worked 30 years for IBM in nearby Essex Junction, while marrying and raising a family in Swanton, and then became the town administrator in the mid-1990s. "Best job I ever had," he says.
Driving a reporter around town, past neatly tended homes and a downtown still struggling to come back, he points out signs of progress. The local industrial park contains a cheese processor, a manufacturer of maple-sugaring equipment, a precision-tool company, a maker of doors and windows, a pharmaceutical company, and Vermont's first biodiesel facility. The U.S. Border Patrol has a regional headquarters in town. Swanton retains its rural flavor, with dairy and agriculture, but has grown from 4,000 residents when Thompson was a boy to 6,400 today, thanks to an influx of commuters.
Thompson knew that there had been a quarry years ago on the edge of town, on a long, low ridge off Route 7. But it wasn't in his blueprint for economic development until Byors showed up.

We spent several hours with "Yellow Submarine" animator Ron Campbelll July 11 at Antiquities of California in San Francisco on beautiful Pier 39. We had a great time discussing when he worked on the Beatles cartoon series and the movies. It was also fun to see people come in and look at his pictures and make a choice and buy them.
Ron does a great thing if you buy a picture from him at the show. He writes out a custom certificate of authenticity with your choice of animation drawings on it. So you can have your COA with the "Yellow Submarine" or cartoon Beatles, the Flying Glove, Jeremy Boob or whatever you want.
He'll be at Antiquities on Pier 39 today from noon until 6 p.m. PT. If you park in the main parking lot and get a restaurant validation, two hours of parking are free. And you can see some pictures of our visit on this page. While you're there, also visit the Hard Rock Cafe nearby and see their Beatles and other memorabilia.
"Things We Said Today": We have not one but two "Things We Said Today" shows for your enjoyment this week. On the first show, we have author Dave Morrell, author of "Horse-Doggin', Volume 1," with his stories of meeting the Beatles and collecting Beatles memorabilia. Dave is also the guy who showed John Lennon a BBC session bootleg and also knows firsthand about the rediscovery of "Train Music."
The second show is Ken's review of Paul McCartney's Albany show. You can catch them both today on Fab4Radio.com and on our Podbean site. Let's face it: Ken Michaels and I love to talk Beatles. We can't stop. We hope you enjoy the shows.
Online specials: Until 6 p.m. ET Sunday, Pop Market has special prices on Paul McCartney's deluxe "McCartney" reissue and Ringo's singles box. Until 6 p.m. Monday, they have discounts on the George Harrison: Living in the Material World" deluxe set and the John Lennon "Box of Vision."

I want to see a Yosemite vs. Minarets football game. How about a Badger-Mustang basketball game, too? I know I am not alone. No matter the negativity and politics, it is time to begin a Badger/Mustang rivalry in football and basketball and all other sports for that matter.
For those that went to the Yosemite/Mariposa football pre-season game, that was special. Just ask the players. The energy was great on both sides. It rekindled an old rivalry. There will be that, and more, if the Badgers and Mustangs can begin their inevitable new rivalry. For YHS football fans, wouldn't it be great to play Mariposa and Minarets in a regular non-league schedule? For administrators, wouldn't that cut down on travel costs? For instance, Yosemite plays Tehachapi in basketball this season on Jan. 12, 2013. That is a more than eight hour bus ride round trip. Yosemite does play Mariposa in basketball on Nov. 30. That is great, but just a start.
Somewhere in the 2012-2013 basketball schedule there should have been a Yosemite vs. Minarets game. How great would it have been to schedule a basketball game between Yosemite and Minarets sometime during the holidays? How about a basketball game between Yosemite and Minarets with proceeds to help out former Badger basketball star and decorated, but severely injured Marine named Chance Gaal?
Fans, parents, and players: if this is something you want, tell your respective school athletic departments to let them know. If that doesn't work, go to a board meeting. Make some noise. Let's make this happen!
Speaking of Minarets, congratulations to the Mustangs who notched their first victory of 2012 with a 57-0 victory over the Riverdale Cowboys, coached by former YHS coach Dana Minard.
I am definitely bummed out that I could not see the 'Dogs on TV even though they lost to Boise State 20-10. I think it is a shame there is no more local TV to view Fresno State football. Here are the television listings in the Fresno Bee last week to watch the Bulldogs: (NBC Sports Network, Comcast 38/723 HD, Direct TV 603, Dish 159, AT&T U-Verse 640/1640). For those of us who have basic cable, this season has been a no-go.
What a difference a year makes! Look at Washington Union. The Panthers were last year's state champion in D-III. This year 0-7! This has to be one of the worst season turnarounds in Central Section history.

Metro Boston, north shore and western suburbs: A cold front approaches from the west today with low pressure developing along the front to our south. This low will be responsible for the rain and snow in the area through the day as it tracks along the New England south coast quickly exiting the area early tonight. Another weak disturbance will move out of the Ohio Valley early Sunday and rapidly move toward New England during the day.
Our weekend is going to feature considerable cloudiness and periods of light precipitation. Saturday will be the cloudier day with the greater risk of light rain or snow. It should be mostly rain along the coastal plain, with a mix west of Route 128/95 transitioning to mainly snow west of Route 495. The National Weather Service has posted a Winter Weather Advisory for northern Middlesex County and through most of central and north central Massachusetts until 7 pm this evening where 2 to 4 inches of snow could fall, highest amounts across the higher elevation. Also, the advisory extends across the border into southern New Hampshire and points north, so if you are traveling in either of these areas today expect to go from a rain or snow and rain mix to all snow. There could be a slushy inch or so of accumulation along the Route 128/95 belt, but along the coast it is doubtful any accumulation occurs although a change back to snow in late afternoon and evening could put down a coating before the precipitation ends.
As the low pulls away we dry out overnight as the winds pick up and colder air begins to transfer across the area on the backside of the low. Expect a colder and blustery night.
The next impulse for Sunday keeps us mostly cloudy with a chance for snow flurries or snow showers. This system will rapidly move out Sunday night with another push of colder air following in behind it.
Martin Luther King Day should see a mix of clouds and sun, cooler and breezy. Another in a series of cold fronts moves through during the day. Colder air will continue to overspread the area through the day and overnight is when we begin to fall back into the freezer as temperatures really cool down.
Winter makes a big time comeback for the remainder of the work week. It turns very cold Tuesday and Wednesday as the arctic air takes a firm hold on the area and keeps us uncomfortably cold into Thursday as well. Fair skies rule Tuesday and Wednesday, with a chance of light snow Thursday as low pressure approaches. As for temperatures highs in the teens to near 20 Tuesday and Wednesday, overnight lows in the single digits both Tuesday night and Wednesday night.
72 Hour Outlook:
Saturday: Periods of light rain along the coastal plain, possibly mixing with snow at times. Mix inland to all snow along and west of Route 495. Precipitation could change to all snow everywhere later this afternoon and evening before ending. High temperatures in the low to mid 30s well inland to near 40 on the immediate coast. Light north to northeast winds. Snow accumulations 2 or 3 inches northern Middlesex County, possibly a few 4 inch totals, ranging to maybe a coating along the coast by evening.
Saturday night: Precipitation ends early followed by a mostly cloudy overnight. Lows taper back to the mid 20s interior to 30 on the coast. West winds 5 to 15 mph.
Sunday: Blustery and cooler, chance of a snow flurry or few snow showers, especially inland. Considerable cloudiness. Highs in the mid 30s. Gusty west winds.
Sunday night: Generally partly cloudy, cooler and windy. Lows near 20 well inland to upper 20s on the coast. Gusty west winds continue.
Martin Luther King Day/Night: Partly cloudy and becoming much colder overnight. Highs in the low to mid 30s. Overnight lows in the low teens.

COLD FUSION MOVIES AND VIDEO - Cold Fusion Movies And Video
Best Movies and Films about Cold fusion energy
There was a brief period of time where cold fusion was treated as a legitimate science, a very brief period lasting not even a year. After many failed attempts to replicate the original results
and to speed up the reaction time of the
experiment, no headway was made. This led the media to denounce the scientists, Fleischmann and Pons that originally discovered the process of cold fusion. They lost their funding, and later, their careers as an indirect result of their failed experiments. Despite the fact that cold fusion did not seem promising, many different organizations attempted to continue studying it after Fleishmann and Pons, some of these organizations including the U.S. Army, Korea, and some automotive industries. Despite their best efforts, the legitimacy of cold fusion still could not be proven, and most of these branches of study ended up dissolving, or going bankrupt.
Eventually, Andrea Rossi and Sergio Focardi's LENR research brought cold fusion back into the spotlight, as well as the more subtle work of Francesco Piantelli. The invention of the E-cat has incited a worldwide response to the device, calling in expert scientists from Italy, America, and other countries, to view demonstrations of the device to see if it really works or not. The nickel hydrogen fusion that occurs in the body of the E-Cat has consistently been shown to produce energy as Rossi claimed originally though nobody can seem
to confirm what kind of reaction this
is and whether it is in fact successful cold fusion or not. Regardless of the needs for the scientific community to verify the claims of cold fusion, Rossi plans to accelerate production, having recently partnered with Defkalion green technologies and Ampenergo in
order to help produce and market
the device with or without the approval of the larger scientific community.
Ignoring Rossi's recent work though, little had been done to progress the science of cold fusion. Even though cold fusion was considered to be debunked and fruitless, this did not stop entire movies from being made about it. "The Believers," a movie set to be released in late 2011 is set to chronicle scientists researching cold fusion along with other scientific beliefs, and all of the things that prevent them from achieving their goals. True to the title of the film, the scientists featured choose to believe in their work. Despite culture telling them different and despite societal and physical restrictions, these scientists continue their work in order to further the agenda of all mankind. In the face of oppression, they ignore the bad aspects and simply focus on their own beliefs.
This is much like what Rossi had to deal
with. In a statement from Defkalion
after Rossi decided to part ways with them, the company cited stress from all around and pressures to discontinue work on the E-Cat as the reason that Rossi ultimately parted ways with them. Whether or not this is the reason Rossi left Defkalion is
disputed, but it is likely very true
that Rossi faces pressure from all around. In inventing a product that has the potential to be one of the first, most highly marketable and cheapest forms of alternative energy, it is only natural that bigger energy companies would try to take him down in order to further their own economic interests. Mean much like Rossi are featured in the documentary "The Believers," who continue to fight for what they believe in, ignoring adversity and opposition.
Other films such as "Cold Fusion: Fire from Water" try to highlight how controversial the subject is by following scientists on the cutting edge of cold fusion discoveries. The video focuses less on the specific science of the process, and more on how, if the science were to work, it would affect the world. It is a great film for a take on how the post nuclear energy age will pan out. Then, there are the more dramatized movies such as 1997's "The Saint" starring Val Kilmer, where he plays a master thief attempting to steal a cold fusion formula from a scientist that he eventually falls in
love with. It is then up to the
two of them to work on completing
the formula, and outwitting the Russian mafia in order to save his own life, the life of the scientist, and the future of the U.S. These are all some of the best movies about cold fusion because they highlight and help bring to light exactly how important cold fusion was culturally, if not scientifically, and lead up to a point in the timeline where cold fusion could be proven to be much more important than science ever realized with the introduction of Rossi's E-Cat.

Children with communication and movement disorders often have difficulty in their learning environment. Early exploratory learning, reading and writing are often affected, resulting in delays that limit longer-term educational outcomes.
When used appropriately and regularly, technology can provide a means for communication with parents, peers and teachers and for active participation in essential early learning and educational activities.

I tried to change the NERDTree root with
:BookmarkToRoot <bookmark>
command and with
C letter but when I close vim and open vim the root is not changed.
Do you know how to change the root forever?
You could try something like:
I have this in my .vimrc:
so that NERDTree always opens in the current folder.
With the 1st line, the working directory is always the one where the active buffer is located.
With the 2nd line, I make sure the working directory is set correctly.
With the 3rd line, I hit
As i don't want vim to change directories automatically, i just use:
so you can just do a ":Ncd path/you/like/" with path completion.

Harvest at Dyer Vineyards... Finally!
Vintage 2005 - the Napa Valley experienced unseasonably warm weather in the early Spring. Temperatures of close to 80 degrees in late February and early March led to speculation of an early harvest. This was followed by a seemingly endless succession of cold rainstorms that have lasted throughout April and May and into June. It rained over 7" at Dyer Vineyard between May and the middle of June. The good news is that temperatures remained cool enough that mildew and botrytis (our two main fungal problems) did not take hold. Bloom was long and finished in the 2nd week of June. The weather remained slightly cooler than normal throughout August. Sept and October were perfect for ripening Cabernet- no heat spikes, no raisining, just perfectly even ripening. The crop was about average in the Diamond Mountain District and up about 15% in the valley. We think this may really be the vintage of the century!

Steve Jobs, genius behind the Apple products passed away Wednesday October 5, 2011 at 56 years old. Bret Michaels released a statement from his website bretmichaels.com.
First I must express my deepest condolences to Steve's wife Laurene, his family and friends. He showed great strength and perseverance through his illness and continued to be an innovator all the while remaining positive while fighting his battle with cancer. I can only thank Steve for his innovation, inspiration and creativity while touching all of our lives in some way shape or form. Again my condolences. He will be missed.

As I am sure you will recall, we have an issue with the Goddard server that to date has not been resolved. If more than one person is feeding the server at a time, the resulting server output contains duplicate, or at times, two or more different data streams (sometimes one with good CRCs and an additional stream with bad CRCs, etc). This product spooks the P3T decode software and displays a garbled data set. We had hoped to assemble a "Telemetry Working Group" that would schedule feeds etc, in the hope of resolving this problem, however, I was not successful in gathering together those who are interested in this concept. SO, how about this approach: If you are an AO40 telemetry gatherer, by all means, CONTINUE, but prior to starting to up-load the stream to Goddard, open P3T and observe to see if someone else is feeding the server. If they are, just gather, but do not feed your stream to Goddard. If P3T reveals that no one else is presently feeding, then commence your uploading. Short of a scheduling plan or a revision in the Goddard software, this will give users the best odds of receiving a clean P3T feed. Any additional thoughts will be appreciated. Remember, this service to the Satellite community is only as good as the received data stream. Regards, Gunther Meisse W8GSM ---- Sent via email@example.com.

Searching for platonic friends, casual friends, and companionship, but mainly to engage in a mutually beneficial relationship/friendship, a REAL best friend, if you will. I am a single, laid back, shy, very open minded, kind, and gentle man. I have a good sense of humor and a caring nature. I enjoy a family atmosphere and adore children. I don't drink, but I do smoke. I'm NOT perfect in any sense of the word. I'm more of a fixer upper I'm into science, technology, computers (Linux, web development, PHP, MySQL), swimming, fishing, camping, hiking, gold prospecting (yes, there is gold to be found in VA), and more ... I enjoy all types of music but listen to top 40 and 70's-80's most often. I'm also a contributing member of communities for the underprivileged and displaced persons. I've even went as far as to take in a couple of displaced families in the past and helped them get back on their feet. On the mushy side, I am a Virgo-en, compatible matches for a Virgo include Scorpio, Taurus and Cancer, but the best match for Virgo is Capricorn. But who knows, they say opposites attract. I know the opposing polarity on magnets do. Not N2 drama or head games. If you're mental, fine, but you must take your meds on time. I believe friends should be able to work through their problems and conflicts or they don't need to be friends. Pet peeves: mean people, snobs, slow drivers, posting "any real men" if you know men that aren't real I think they make a pill for that, head games, people who are so naive to think that YOU waisting THEIR time. If you have made it this far you've probably guessed, I'm a kid a heart. I can even be down right silly @ times. But, that's just me ... If you want to know more, just ask! I don't bite ... hard. Love you all! -Troy What I'm Looking For I'm just looking for good friends and companionship mostly. I am very generous with my friends. Want to hang up that self destructive lifestyle and start over? If you'd like a shared living situation, that would also be acceptable. Asians and Latinos are a plus! No married women. Single Moms are cool ;)

Rheumatism, also medically referred to, as rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic disorder that usually affects joints in your arms and legs. The accompanying inflammation can be uncomfortable to severely painful. Individuals often face painful swelling. Without proper rheumatic treatment, the condition could also deteriorate to erosion of bones or deformed joints.
Some of the other symptoms include tenderness in the joints, soreness or redness on the knuckles, rheumatoid nodules, weight loss and stiffness in the joints immediately after waking up.
Individuals afflicted with rheumatism suffer from an autoimmune disorder where your body mistakes some of your tissues as foreign bodies and tries to fight it. Apart from joint aches, people suffering from rheumatism experience constant fevers and fatigue.
Despite various studies and research, there is no definite cure for rheumatism.
However, rheumatism treatment is an ongoing process and can combine medication, physical therapy and if severe, even surgery.
• Since individuals suffering from osteoporosis, arthritis and fibromyalgia also complain about joint aches, it is important that you have a doctor diagnose your condition correctly. Consult your doctor on your rheumatism treatment – whether you are planning to make changes to your diet, take supplements or workout. • While it is incurable, rheumatism treatment may consist of medication to reduce inflammation, prevent or slow down joint damage and relieve pain. Before you take any medication, find out about their side effects and increase your dosage gradually under a doctor's advice.• Individuals suffering from rheumatism will find that soreness in their joints can impede day-to-day functions like opening doors, grasping objects or moving things. One rheumatism treatment you might want to consider is physical therapy. It could help to strengthen your muscles so your joints do not bear the brunt. Your therapist could also teach you how to minimize the stress on your joints.• Since rheumatism affects the joints, another rheumatism treatment would involve losing weight via exercise. Excess weight can put pressure on already inflamed joints. However, stick to moderate intensity exercise routines like swimming or even aqua aerobic exercises. • Applying cold or hot packs also form part of rheumatic treatment. You can also try soaking your hands or legs in a warm and cool bath alternately to relieve numbness and pain.• While there are no specific recommendations for a rheumatism diet, if you find that certain foods increase inflammation or joint pain, it is best to avoid them. Do follow up with your doctor on the same. Some supplements containing plant and fish oils may give relief to aching joints, but ensure that you have a medical prescription/advice for the same. • Some studies have found that smoking increases your risk of rheumatism or worsens the inflammation if you are already suffering from it.
Rheumatism is an umbrella term used to describe various disorders of the joints, tendons, ligaments, and other connective tissue. The study of these disorders and rheumatism treatment is called rheumatology. Primer on rheumatic diseases. Many people use the terms rheumatism and arthritis interchangeably. In reality, there are a number of different types of arthritis disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis (inflammation of the joints), osteoarthritis (inflammation of connective tissue), psoriatic arthritis (inflammation of the skin and joints), and so on. On the other hand, rheumatism can refer to a wide variety of skin, bone, muscle, and joint disorders. While chronic pain and inflammation may be common to most of these rheumatic diseases, there are subtle differences in causes and rheumatism treatment.
Rheumatism diet is often prescribed based on the theory that toxins in the body increase inflammation and pain. Citrus fruits such as orange, lemon, grape fruit, and so on possess alkaline properties and may help to flush out toxins from the body. Similarly, whole grains and raw vegetables are rich in alkaline sources and may benefit individuals suffering from different rheumatism disorders. Certain studies on rheumatism also indicate a negative influence of smoking, alcohol, and caffeinated drinks on the inflammation in the joints. Rheumatoid arthritis. People suffering from this condition often experience inflammation and pain in the joints and connective tissue. Other symptoms include fatigue, morning soreness, tenderness in the joints, and loss of appetite contributing to sudden weight loss.Left untreated, rheumatoid arthritis can lead to permanent damage of the joints.
Rheumatic fever. Rheumatic fever goes beyond joint pain and affects the heart, brain, and skin. The chances of contracting rheumatic fever are higher in individuals who have suffered from an attack of strep throat or scarlet fever. Bacterial infection caused by Streptococcus bacteria can result in rheumatic fever. Symptoms include persistent fevers, joint aches, cardiac problems resulting in fatigue and shortness of breath, nosebleeds and skin rashes or skin growths. Individuals may also experience jerky movements or twitching in their face, hands or feet. Rheumatic fever treatment is a long-term process. Your doctor may recommend anti-inflammatory medication for the joint aches and antibiotics for the fever. Since there is a risk of recurrent attack by the Streptococcus bacteria, your doctor might also advise preventive medication. Ankylosing spondylitis. This rheumatism disorder affects the bones in the spine and pelvis region. In chronic cases, it causes the spinal bones to fuse together, causing spine bone deformity and severe back pain. The pain usually starts at the lower end of the spine and increases along the entire length of the spine. Eventually, your mobility is limited in the lower spine or you may lose complete mobility and flexibility in the rib cage area. Other symptoms include fatigue, joint aches and swelling in the hips, shoulders, knees and ankles.Tendinitis. An inflammation in the tendons is called tendinitis. It is a common cause of concern amongst many athletes and physically active people since it affects the elbows, wrists, shoulders and heels. Many common sporting injuries like golfer's elbow, tennis elbow, pitcher's shoulder and Achilles heel (Achilles tendinitis) are common problems due to overuse of certain postures and wear and tear of constantly used tendons. Your doctor may recommend rest and anti-inflammatory medication for the problem. In case of severe inflammation, you may have to undergo corrective surgery. Osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is an inflammation of the joints that worsens when pressure is applied to the affected area. Other symptoms include swollen joints and muscle weakness, joint pains that recur in moist conditions and limited movement.Systemic lupus erythematosus. Commonly referred to as SLE or just Lupus this is an autoimmune disorder where the body attacks its own cells and tissues causing pain and inflammation. The organs at risk include the heart, lungs, various blood vessels, liver, kidney and the entire nervous system. While there is no cure for lupus, some of the symptoms can be controlled via immunosuppressant medication under medical advice.Fibromyalgia. Another common condition that may occur along with lupus or rheumatoid arthritis is fibromyalgia. In this condition, individuals are likely to experience pain throughout their body and tenderness in the joints. Other Rheumatism symptoms include stiffness in joints and muscles, insomnia, headaches, numbness in the limbs, depression or anxiety attacks.
Rheumatism treatment depends on diagnosis and cause of inflammation or chronic pain. In the early stages, rest and medication may help control the problem. Moderate exercise and joint strengthening workouts recommended by a therapist may also address the issue satisfactorily. In severe cases, surgical intervention may be necessary.
Body cleansing with physical activity is essential. Sweating removes toxins and helps in preventing rheumatism. Keep a check on your weight.Refer similarly answered questions at,

White House Opens Push for Bush Trade Agenda
Greg Hitt reports on international trade.
The Bush administration kicked off an autumn drive to win congressional passage of the president's trade agenda.
Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez, Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns and U.S. Trade Representative Susan Schwab today joined Iowa Sen. Charles Grassley at a rally on Capitol Hill. The senior administration officials argued that pending deals with Peru, Panama, Colombia and South Korea will help open new markets abroad for U.S. exporters. In addition, the administration launched a Web site (www.tradeagreements.gov) touting the benefits of trade.
But getting the trade deals approved won't be easy. Skepticism runs high among lawmakers who are concerned that American workers have been hurt by increased foreign competition.
The Senate Finance Committee will convene a hearing Tuesday on the proposed deal with Peru. Among those expected to testify are Mickey Kantor, commerce secretary and U.S. trade representative under President Clinton, and Thea Lee, policy director for the AFL-CIO.

Coca-Cola. the company who once wanted to teach the "world wide to sing" and who most recently was broiled in a controversial Super Bowl ad has a new ad running on YouTube. In the short video Coke takes on the epidemic of obesity by showing people how fun it can be to burn off the 140 calories in a typical can of soda.
In the ad a montage of contestants are awarded a can of coke only after they've paid for it by burning off calories by pedaling a bike. The contestants pedal, pedal, pedal until they reach the magical number of 140 calories then a can of coke pops out and there is a celebration of their success.
How long does it take to burn off 140 calories?
According to the short video it takes the average person, who weighs around 140 pounds, about 23 minutes on a bike to burn off the 140 calories. But there is also a disclaimer about how results will vary based on a person's weight and speed of the bike.
Judith Snyder, a Coca-Cola spokeswoman, stated on Philly.com, the latest video is part of a series that show "moments of delight and surprise" with Coke. She said it's intended to address the theme of energy balance in a lighthearted way.
There are some criticisms of the ad from nutritional experts.
Coke's ad is clever on one level because it shows how many calories are in a can on soda and how much effort it takes to burn off those calories. Critics of the ad say the ad doesn't go far enough in addressing the long standing issue about the nutritional value of a can a soda and the results of consuming to many calories, which is weight gain.
At the end of the ad are these words "Movement is happiness," followed by these words "Where will happiness strike you next?"
Maybe with a can of coke as a reward for a good bike ride, but remember as the ad states for every can comes 23 minutes, at least, of hard riding to work off those calories.

It's Vegas, baby for Britney Spears! After months of talk, Britney finally announced the details of her two-year Las Vegas residency on Tuesday morning (September 17) during an appearance on "Good Morning America."
Wearing a very low-cut black jumpsuit, the interview-shy singer sat down with "GMA" to discuss her Planet Hollywood residency. "I love Vegas," said Spears, 31. "The energy here is really, really good. I'm definitely going to do the greatest hits, but I'm going to have to put some of my new material into it just to keep it fresh."
Starting December 27, Spears will be performing 50 shows a year under the banner, "Britney: Piece of Me," with tickets on sale starting Tuesday. The action-packed club-meets-theater environment is a key to the show, according to Spears. "We wanted the environment to be that way so people could come and stand up and feel like they're in the show with me," she explained. "I'm definitely ready," she added of her vocal, dance and stamina levels, noting that she's been training up to five hours a day in preparation.
Also, she teased that older son Preston might make some cameo appearances at the gigs, though Jayden is still a bit too shy to step into the spotlight.
With 28 buses hauling 1,300 fans (many dressed up in their Britney-alike best) into the desert for the early morning announce, the "GMA" appearance was a spectacle befitting Vegas' showy reputation. The singer arrived in a helicopter, descending into the middle of the early morning darkness to the sight of a giant flip-card mosaic poster held up by fans announcing the residency.
After a lengthy delay (possibly tied to some air sickness Spears said she experienced in the helicopter), the star finally touched down just before the 6 o'clock West Coast hour. Wearing dark shades, Spears also revealed that her as-yet-untitled new album is out on December 3, confirming that the ballad "Perfume" will be among the new songs on the release.
We've got liftoff @GMA!!!! pic.twitter.com/44Yyas2H30
— Britney Spears (@britneyspears) September 17, 2013
TMZ reported that there is a very good reason Spears is setting up shop in the Vegas desert. In fact, there are 15 million of them. According to the site, Spears' two-year gig at Planet Hollywood will earn her an estimated $310,000 per show, for a total of $30 million over 24 months. The gigs will take place at the PH Live Theater at the Planet Hollywood complex.
Spears rush-released her new single, "Work Bitch" on Sunday after the EDM-influenced tune leaked online. The song, which has a very pricey chorus , is the first glimpse we've gotten of Spears' upcoming eighth studio album.
Though details about the album are limited, Spears told "GMA" that you can expect to hear songs dealing with her break-up with former agent/fiancé Jason Trawick. "They suck. Breakups suck, they do," she said of the split.
