Lauren Redfern, ex-coach: Sex with student charge dropped because he was almost 18?
In February, we told you about the arrest of former Basalt High school basketball coach Lauren Redfern, accused of having sex with a student. Now, however, a plea deal is reportedly in the works for a reduced charge that would keep her off the sex-offender registry. Was the age of the student in question -- almost eighteen -- when the relationship began a factor?
During recent years, as we've reported, there has been no shortage of male coaches at high schools who have been accused and/or convicted of having sex with students in their charge. Think of Broomfield High School wrestling coach Travis Masse, Longmont High School karate club overseer Alex Tinsley and Alameda High School basketball coach Wes Specht, a semi-pro player nicknamed "Wild Man."
Likewise, female teachers have gotten into trouble for crossing the line with students -- among them ex-Mountain View High School instructor Courtney Bowles, Englewood High School's Alexandra McLean and Hilltop Baptist Schools' Terah Rawlings, whose father and uncle, both school officials, were accused of knowing about her illicit activities with a fifteen-year-old but failing to tell authorities about it.
However, Redfern, who's 26, was the first female coach in recent memory to face such a charge. She and the student were thought to have been involved in a sexual relationship for three or four months; he was seventeen when it started but soon celebrated his eighteenth birthday. They're said to have trysted at her home or his, not at the school. Conveniently, they lived near each other in the community of El Jebel.

By the way, Colorado law says that a seventeen-year-old can have a consensual sexual relationship with an adult so long as the latter isn't considered someone in a position of trust. Like, for instance, a teacher.
Now, however, the Aspen Times reveals that Redfern, who resigned from Basalt High a week or so after news of the affair broke, is on the cusp of formalizing an agreement that would see her plead guilty to contributing to the delinquency of a minor. As a result, she will face neither prison time nor enrollment on the sex-offender registry. Moreover, the plea doesn't include a confession that she and the student had sex.
Eagle County District Attorney Mark Hurlbert, who gained national attention as the prosecutor in the Kobe Bryant sex-crime case, told the Times that the student's age weighed heavily in the deal. "The fact that he was almost eighteen (played a part)," he said, "and I think ultimately, too, what we were looking for was if there was any 'grooming' behavior on the part of Ms. Redfern, and there was not."
At this writing, Redfern continues to live in the area and is seeking certification as a cross-fit trainer. Here's a larger look at her booking photo.

La Salle A Manger: "Best place to eat in Aix en Provence" Aix-en-Provence Restaurant Tip by Rookb1
Aix-en-Provence Restaurants: 46 reviews and 50 photos
Quite a few of the restaurants in Aix are a little pricey and provide rather mediocre food. This place is really reasonably priced and the food and wine are great.
OK so it does have part of a car over the door, but they had some mellow music, soft lighting and a really great atmosphere. Plus the staff were really nice and really knew the food.
The address is La Salle a Manger, 4 rue Isolette, 13100 Aix en Provence. Tel: 04 42 38 06 23
Basically it is just on a small side street from the main pedestrianised route from the place du general de gaulle with the big fountain.
A lot of people will say that the nice restaurants are along the cours mirabeau, but in my opinion you pay a lot for what you get, so just take a walk away from the cours mirabeau towards rue espariat and find rue Isolette off of this. The restaurant is smaller and more romantic and just as good if not better than those on Cours Mirabeau and about half the price.
Favorite Dish: I visited twice in a weekend and everything was really good.
Address: 4 rue Isolette, 13100 Aix en Provence
Price Comparison: less expensive than average
Directions: Basically it is just on a small side street from the main pedestrianised route from the place de la rotonde to the market square. Very close to the place de rotonde end.
Phone: 04 42 38 06 23

I know today is the first of the year and the time for resolutions and healthy recipe searches, but while we were in Ohio last week, Tim got talking about some chocolate chip cookies his mom used to make, crisp around the edges and soft on the inside. It turned out his sister, Gina, had his mom's original recipe book on hand, one of those spiral-bound church club versions where Myrtle shares her meatloaf and Veera provides her famous recipe for banana cream pie. That's how I found out the cookies from Tim's memories came from the kitchen of one Marcia Maki and were marked with a handwritten "very good" in his mom's red pen. I love when people write in their cookbooks, almost as much as I love the way that food lets us remember people who cooked for us once they're gone. It's a way of making a cookbook more personal, more your own. It's also a great reference for posterity 20 or 30 years down the line, when they want to know if Mom liked the cherry pie and see a big "NO" written on … [Read more...]
Einkorn Spelt Homemade Graham Crackers + Little Gems USA (Giveaway)
My friend Leslie runs a Chicago-based jewelry business called LittleGemsUSA, from which 50 percent of all proceeds go straight to charity. Today it is our pure honor to feature that business here, alongside a recipe for the homemade graham crackers I am obsessed with, and accompanied by a giveaway for the sweet little bracelet I'm wearing in the pictures. I love Leslie and I love what she's doing, so it was my idea that she do an interview/giveaway (UPDATE: congratulations, Katrina!) here. When she sent me the answers to her questions, I cried, because, in case you're wondering, she actually is as kind and humble as she sounds. After the Q/A and photos below, you'll find more information about these graham crackers and more information about Leslie's business, including how to win the bracelet and you can go purchase jewelry that will support women and children in need. This is one of those posts that I feel really proud of and thankful for, so please do scroll all the way to the … [Read more...]
Blueberry Whole-Grain Kamut Scones
I'm a rusher. I do things quickly. Case in point, sometime years ago, I read about a cool cookbook, emailed it to Tim as a part joke, part serious suggestion of something he buy me for an upcoming gift, and as soon as the note left my draft screen, I forgot about it. On to the next thing. Good thing he didn't though because that's how Breakfast Lunch Tea joined my cookbook hoard last August, when he gave it to me as a birthday gift. It's such a fun cookbook. Written by a bakery owner, it's super spare and minimal in style but filled with highly tried and tested recipes and the kind of inspiring headnotes that say things like "everyone loves these at the bakery" or "this is one of my favorites." I loved it afresh when he handed it to me last year, and I loved it afresh again last night when we got talking about it and I immediately jumped up from where we were sitting to grab it from its home on our waist-high wooden bookshelf in the dining room. Soon the two of us were talking about … [Read more...]
Summer Squash Soup + Cheesy Zucchini Crispies
Our friend Terry said something to us last week about how culture is like a thumbprint embedded on our souls. Like a lot of things we don't pick or ask for, that thumbprint is predetermined for us when we're born; it surrounds us; we swim in it. Like the air we breath, our culture is part of everything we think and do, affecting us, being affected by us, and yet virtually unnoticeable. I am a different person because I was born into the geographic location of the Chicago suburbs and not South Florida or small-town Texas or northern California, I realize, the first child of a Midwestern couple who were starting a new business, not working at office jobs, and a new family, not a big one, in the early 1980s. My personality and perspectives have been affected by a childhood in private school instead of public school where my mom and not my dad cooked most nights and my family ate out often. I went to northern Wisconsin most summers, not the East or the West. It was normal to me that people … [Read more...]
Pecorino-Encrusted Cod in Brown Butter Dill & Carrot Potato Mash
Most nights, our dinners are simple: roasted vegetables, salad, whatever leftovers we have from yesterday's lunch or another day's project in the fridge. Sometimes it's previously prepared food we've stuffed in the freezer. Other times it's ice cream. We tend to go for easy and simple and mindless, despite what the stereotype of keeping a food blog might be. But every so often, one of us gets freshly inspired, like I did last week with this fish recipe, and making dinner becomes less about efficiency and more about fun. These are the times when I love the kitchen, when it feels like a way to creatively vent out all the tension of those crazy mental Ferris wheels and tangibly let my hands show my brain, again, that some forms of disorder resolve, making beauty in the end. Thinking about this just now, I Googled "why creative outlet," because that's what I'm describing here, I guess, what it means to have a creative outlet, be it cooking or writing or pottery, and I fell deep into a … [Read more...]
Einkorn Cream Puffs
I read somewhere this weekend that stepping into grief is a lot like stepping into a dark room. The door shuts behind you and you panic because you can't see, your arms go flailing all about, you're lost and alone and unsure. It's scary and it's lonely and you aren't sure what to do, but then your vision adjusts. You look around and with new eyes you see what at first you couldn't—that there are people who climbed in there with you when you went to that dark place, like my friend Joanna who cried with me and let me cry with her and who knew so well what to say and how to say it, I may never respond to anyone who is grieving again in the same way I once would have done. Then your eyes adjust more, and even more shockingly, you see there are people all around you who were already there, people who have walked through their own miscarriages, people like some of you who honored us with your stories, and you think, I had no idea you were in this place!, and you find real comfort in seeing … [Read more...]
Velvet Carrot Soup with Amaretti Crumble
"i said to my soul be still and wait so the darkness shall be the light and the stillness the dancing." t. s. eliot Winter has always seemed to me to be a season of waiting. Maybe that's why I've struggled to like it. All season long, we wait for the days to lengthen again, the sun to shine again, the weather to warm again. We don our heavy coats and rugged boots and trudge through gray days and cold houses and cracking skin. We remember the fresh fruit of summer farmer's markets and the warm light of balmy months, but we remember it faintly, in shadows, the way I imagine this world will someday be remembered when we are long from it, too. And then, just when it seems we will never see sunshine again, we will never put away our coats again, we will never go for long walks just to soak up the sky, Nashville goes and pulls a stunning Sunday like yesterday and gives weather forecasts in the 50s and 60s this week. It's striking how much and how often my soul yearns for … [Read more...]

"Choose love not in the shallows but in the deeps." Christina Rossetti It's Valentine's week and people are talking about love, and I already brought you two sets of hearts, so I better talk about the thoughts behind them if I'm ever going to. I've been thinking so much lately about the difference between lives looked at from far away and lives looked at up close. I don't know why this is hitting me now and not when I was 15 like it probably hits some people, but now that I've seen it, I'm seeing it everywhere. It's the difference between watching someone on TV and sitting with someone for coffee, between listening to a speaker at a conference and listening to a friend in your living room, between giving someone a run-down of your day and giving someone a run-down of your heart. Things look different from far away than they look up close. Loving from a distance, in the shallows, is usually easier, as there's less risk involved and more control. You can craft a pretty image when … [Read more...]

Brockmeier Issues Beginner's Guide to Vim Editor
Defenders of the somewhat unwieldy vi editor say, "Sure vi is user-friendly; it's just peculiar about who it makes friends with." Joe Brockmeier of openSUSE fame has now come out with a beginner's guide to Vim and what it does.
Most Linux users know "Zonker" Brockmeier as community manager of the openSUSE project who usually announces when a new openSUSE is in the starting blocks. (Brockmeier is also contributor to Linux Magazine.) He apparently also has other interests, as his article on the Vim editor for the Linux Foundation suggests.
No matter how Spartan a Linux distro might be, it almost always includes the "vee-eye" text editor. Anyone with the slightest Linux involvement will come into contact with it. To prevent users from running into catastrophes with it, Brockmeier wrote "Vim 101: A Beginner's Guide to Vim."
Vim is a further development of the ancient vi written by Bill Joy in the 1970s. Often vi is included as an actual link to Vim in some standard Linux distros such as Ubuntu and openSUSE. Learning Vim largely involves memorizing a handful of keyboard shortcuts. Brockmeier's article therefore lists the most vital shortcuts for cursor movements and deleting and copying words and characters.
Upon learning these relatively simple commands, work can proceed faster than with other text editors, such as Nano, at least as dyed-in-the-wool Vim fans claim. The alternative to Vim is emacs. Vim and emacs advocates have been raging an ongoing rivalry for the longest time, known as the "Editor war."
Further development?> Vim is a further development of the ancient vi written by Bill Joy in the 1970s.
And Linux is "further development" of UNIX then?
Somehow wrongness of former is less obvious than of latter. "Further development" implies derivative work.
Bram Moolenaar wrote Vim becase Joy's vi (which I have still /pleasure/ to work with on Solaris and HP-UX) is bad at pretty much everything. Concept is good - rest is bad. And "bad" is me putting it very politely.

Lyndon Johnson's War on Poverty
Weeks into Office, LBJ Turned Nation's Focus to the Poor
Forty years ago today in his first State of the Union speech, President Lyndon B. Johnson declared a "War On Poverty." Johnson's declaration came just weeks after succeeding to the White House upon the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
Making poverty a national concern set in motion a series of bills and acts, creating programs such as Head Start, food stamps, work study, Medicare and Medicaid, which still exist today. The programs initiated under Johnson brought about real results, reducing rates of poverty and improved living standards for America's poor.
The 'War on Poverty' Speech
But the poverty rate has remained steady since the 1970s and today, Americans have allowed poverty to fall off the national agenda, says Sheldon Danziger, a professor of public policy at the University of Michigan.
NPR's Robert Siegel, host of All Things Considered, talks with Danziger about the legacy of Johnson's programs.

Double win for RSV Motorsport in Estoril05-10-2010
The RSV Motorsport team enjoyed a fantastic result in Portugal
In the afternoon, both the Portuguese driver and his team mate completed abrilliant performance. After a good first stint by Amorim, Ronald Severin took the wheel leading the GT4 category cars, a position he fought hard to defend until the chequered flag.
The RSV Motorsport Aston Martin on the grid at a wet Estoril on Sunday morning
After a quiet Saturday a Sunday saw black clouds on the horizon which quickly turned into a strong downpour flooding the track. Despite the aquaplaning, Severin did not make a single mistake during his stint and gave Amorim the wheel, who brought the race to a memorable end. The hard weather conditions helped to balance the features of the cars. Amorim kept leading the GT4 cars with no problems and he fought for the podium In the end RSV finished fourth and first in their category. After the double win in Estoril, RSV Motorsport is already working on the Aston Martin for Jerez where the last meeting of the Spanish GT Championship season will take place on October 16 -17.

THE TV WATCH; Yom Kippur Piety on the Light Side
By ALESSANDRA STANLEY
Published: October 6, 2003
Vanity is one of the many sins that Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, is supposed to suppress. On this holiest of High Holy Days, Jews are expected to fast, repent and look deep within, blotting out for 24 hours the glittering inconsequence of our age.
So naturally a televised Yom Kippur service on the Hallmark Channel on Sunday included a pop song (''I Will Remember You'') and dramatic readings by Jason Alexander (''Seinfeld''), Larry King and Mary Hart (''Entertainment Tonight''). There was a costume re-enactment of Old Testament priests entering the holy temple in Jerusalem and a travelogue about the Western Wall, narrated by the tanned, handsome Rabbi David Baron.
Like Ramadan or Good Friday, Yom Kippur is a solemn occasion that does not lend itself easily to cheery holiday specials. But ''Yom Kippur: Prayers of Atonement'' (purchasable on DVD or videocassette at 866-TE-MPLE) is an inspirational ad, or inspimercial, for Rabbi Baron's Temple Shalom for the Arts in Beverly Hills, Calif. For nonbelievers it seems less a call to humility and introspection than a faith-based music video: Up with Jewish People.
The beauty of television is freedom, the viewers' right to turn it off when it bores or offends. Religion is the opposite: every faith hands down commandments that cannot be dismissed with a click of the remote. That clash is what makes religion and television both synergetic and so deeply incompatible. Television is the best medium for delivering a spiritual message widely and fast (faster even than a Hallmark card), yet television has its own rites and ratings requirements that inevitably abase the faith.
Religious programming can be wondrous; more often it is ghastly.
In fact, it was in order to provide a dignified alternative to televangelism that Faith and Values Media, a division of the National Interfaith Cable Coalition, a confederation of Jewish and Christian groups, set time aside on the Hallmark Channel to showcase more conventional denominations, mostly Christian and Jewish. The Hallmark Channel also recently introduced a faith-based daily morning show, ''New Morning'' at 7, sandwiched between ''Bonanza'' and ''The Rifleman'' reruns. ''New Morning'' looks like NBC's ''Today'' show or ''Good Morning America'' on ABC, except that all the news is good news, and beauty tips are for the soul.
''Yom Kippur,'' which was shown at 6:30 a.m., with repeat showings in certain markets, was produced and paid for by Temple of the Air, the television arm of Rabbi Baron's Temple of the Arts, which produced a similar Yom Kippur service for the Hallmark Channel last year. The rabbi's motives are impeccable: the televised service is meant to reach hundreds of thousands of shut-ins and other invalids who cannot attend temple services on Monday. (Some videocassettes will be distributed free to nursing homes, but by placing a telephone order a viewer can also have a video sent to a nursing home in his or her name.)
Some temples, like Temple Emanu-El in New York, put services on radio or public access television stations. Temple of the Air appears to attempt a nationwide television broadcast of a Yom Kippur service, perhaps because repentance, not attendance, is what counts on that solemn holy day.
''Prayer is obligatory, not the setting,'' Rabbi Ismar Schorsch, chancellor of the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York, said. ''People need to open a prayer book personally. It cannot be done vicariously in a virtual service.''
But the Temple of the Air special was also intended to appeal to non-Jews and lapsed Jews, which is why the program is essentially a Yom Kippur highlights video, less an exercise in humility than proud piety. (Or as the old Jewish joke puts it, ''Look who thinks he's nothing.'')
Rabbi Baron ministers to the show business community, and is himself an entrepreneur who in 1999 published, ''Moses on Management: 50 Leadership Lessons from the Greatest Manager of All Time,'' a self-help business guide that combines the prophet's teachings with interviews with business leaders like Bob Pittman of AOL and Sherry Lansing of Paramount Communications. (One lesson is entitled, ''Bring Your Staff Out of the Slave Mentality.'')
The rabbi explained that he was not worried that a glitzy, celebrity-packed service might offend observant Jews accustomed to more austerity at Yom Kippur. ''Sure, people say we are more show than temple,'' Rabbi Baron said, ''but the bottom line is that a well-known actor can attract people to watch.'' He noted that his Temple Shalom services, which feature music and dance performances, are unorthodox, but very popular. ''On a rabbinical ratings basis,'' he explained, ''it is successful.''
Rabbi Baron said he was planning a Temple of the Air program for Passover, but that he chose to start with Yom Kippur because it is the holiest Jewish holy day. In other words it is the most famous.

Lahair Club Not Just for Men
Bryan Lahair cranked a three-run homer to tie the game and then later doubled and scored, leading the Cubs to an 11-4 victory over the Cincinnati Reds in Cactus League action at sunnny and warm Dwight Patterson Field at HoHoKam Park in Mesa this afternoon, in what was the first-ever appearance by the Reds at HoHoKam Park. (The Reds relocated their Spring Training camp from Sarasota, FL to Goodyear, AZ this year).
Battling for a spot in the Cubs starting rotation, lefty Sean Marshall did nothing to hurt his chances, throwing three very solid innings (49 pitches - 33 strikes, 4/3 GO/FO). He allowed just a solo HR to Reds third-baseman Juan Francisco (a LH hitter, BTW) and a single to Wladimir Balentien. He struck out two (Jay Bruce and Paul Janish), and didn't walk anybody. Marshall threw strikes and got outs.
Meanwhile, Reds starter Homer Bailey shut out the Cubs through the first two innings, before the Cubs broke-through with a single run in the bottom of the 3rd. James Adduci sliced a double into the LF corner (he had three hits today, for a total of five over the last two games), advanced to third on a Starlin Castro ground out (three ground outs for Castro today), and scored when Darwin Barney grounded a single into RF that scooted just beyond the reach of Reds second-baseman Brandon Phillips.
Adduci has been working with new Cubs hitting coach Rudy Jaramillo on elevating his swing such that he might perhaps hit some HR (Adduci is a big guy, and looks like a 25+ HR hitter, except he hits mostly singles). But while he hasn't hit a HR yet, the extra work in the batting cage seems to have helped Adduci's overall approach to hitting. He has suddenly turned into an aggressive, ferocious hitter the last few days, after struggling at the plate early in camp. With his ability to play all three OF positions (and 1B), and with his plus-speed (he runs VERY well for a big guy, with 35 SB last year at AA Tennessee), he might actually be in the mix for the 4th OF gig, especially if Sam Fuld continues to struggle at the plate, and if the Cubs want Tyler Colvin and Brad Snyder to play every day at AAA. Piniella seems to really like Adduci. (BTW, Adduci's dad played in the big leagues with STL, MIL, and PHI back in the 1980's).
2009 Cubs Minor League Pitcher of the year (and NRI RHP) Casey Coleman entered the game in the top of the 4th, and really struggled with his control throughout his two innings of work (39 pitches - just 18 strikes, including a 25-pitch 4th inning where he threw just nine strikes). Coleman also struggled with his control in his last outing, and that's no way for a young pitcher to make a favorable impression on a manager who hates walks as much as Lou Piniella does.
Coleman walked Brandon Phillips leading off the 4th inning, before surrendering a long HR over the left-centerfield fence to Juan Francisco (the husky third-baseman's second round-tripper of the day), and then escaped what could have been a much-worse inning when Yonder Alonso hit a rope-liner right at shortstop Starlin Castro, allowing the Cubs to double Wladimir Balentien (who had walked with one out) off 1st base (Balentien was running on a 3-2 pitch). Then with one out in the 5th, Paul Janish homered over the LF fence, giving the Reds a 4-1 lead.
But that was the last time the Cubs trailed, as they rallied to tie the game in the bottom of the 5th, scoring all of the runs on one swing of the bat, the Bryan Lahir game-tying three-run tater off Reds RHP Micah Owings that the powerful ex-Mariners 1st baseman ripped over the RF fence with two outs, following an Adduci single and a Barney walk.
With Micah Hoffpauir having had a terrible Spring at the plate so far, Lahair may be passing Hoffpauir on the depth chart behind Derrek Lee. Barring an injury to D-Lee, neither Hoffpauir nor Lahair are going to make the Cubs Opening Day 25-man roster, but Lahair might get the call over Hoffpauir later in the season (like maybe on September 1st, when rosters expand) if the Cubs wish to add a LH power-hitting 1B at that time.
Rule 5 RHP Mike Parisi pitched the 6th and 7th for the Cubs, and was a perfect six up/six down (L-9, Ks, F-9, P-3, 3-U, and 6-3, on 21 pitches - 16 strikes), probably further solidifying his spot in the Cubs bullpen. Being a Rule 5 player, the Cubs are going to give Parisi a longer look than they might give to another pitcher who isn't subject to getting reclaimed by his former team (in this case, the division-rival St. Louis Cardinals), but he still has to perform well in Spring Training outings if he wants to make the Cubs 25-man roster. And so far, he has performed very well indeed.
While Parisi was holding-off the Reds, the Cubs scored five runs off Reds NRI RHRP Jon Adkins, and then two more off LOOGY Pedro Viola.
Chad Tracy led-off the Cubs 6th with a line-single to left-center, and then Alfonso Soriano pulled a line-drive double into the LF corner (Sori's second hit of the game). For some reason (brain fart, perhaps?), temporary 3rd base coach Ryne Sandberg (Mike Quade was with the split squad in Las Vegas) inexplicably decided to send Tracy home. But Tracy was obviously a dead duck, so much so that he turned around half-way home and tried to get back to 3rd base, where he was tagged out for the 1st out of the inning. But DH Bobby Scales picked-up Tracy (and Sandberg), following the gaffe with an RBI double, a sharply hit grounder down the 1st base line and into the RF corner that scored PR Ty Wright (up from Minor League Camp) from 2nd base with the go-ahead run. Koyie Hill followed with a line single to right, advancing Scales to 3rd, and then after Adduci struck out swinging, Hak-Ju Lee (also up from Minor League Camp) lined a two-run double into the LF corner, scoring Scales and Hill (and the speedy HJ Lee was standing on 2nd base before K. Hill even hit 3rd!). While Starlin Castro may be the Cubs top position-player prospect going into the 2010 season, Hak-Ju Lee (rated the #1 prospect in the Northwest League by Baseball America in 2009) is not far behind. Lee sprays line-drives from foul line to foul line.
Now up 7-4, the Cubs added four more in the 7th. Lahair almost decapitated Reds first-baseman Miguel Cairo with a lead-off low-flying line-drive double smoked down the first-base line, advanced to 3rd base on a Tyler Colvin single to left-center, and, after Chad Tracy struck out looking against Reds lefty reliever Pedro Viola (who had just entered the game), scored on a Ty Wright line-drive single to LF. Bobby Scales then hit into a FC (advancing Colvin to third), and Colvin and Scales both scored on a double off the top of the LF fence (a near HR) by catcher Chris Robinson. (With Uncle Lou having seen Robinson actually get a key two-out RBI extra-base hit, the Cubs might be more-willing to call-up Robinson if Geovany Soto or K. Hill get hurt, something they were not willing to do last year when Soto went on the DL in August). Adduci then plated Robinson with an RBI single to right to complete the Cubs scoring for the day.
RHRP Jeff Stevens (in contention for a job in the Cubs bullpen, but having a bad Spring) worked the 8th inning for the Cubs (18 pitches - 11 strikes, 1/2 GO/FO), allowing just a one-out double to NRI OF Josh Anderson (an outstanding diving-try near-miss by LF Ty Wright), but no runs.
RHP Esmailin Caridad worked an easy 1-2-3 16-pitch 9th (Kc, 5-3, F-8) to finish-off the Redlegs and send Cub fans home happy.
Besides Lahair's big day (he also made an outstanding catch in foul territory, reaching into the stands to grab a pop up), James Adduci and Tyler Colvin had three hits a piece, and Darwin Barney reached base three times on two singles and a walk. Barney also made a sterling defensive play in the top of the 2nd, ranging far to his left, diving to make the stop, and then nailing the base-runner at 2nd base with a throw from his knees.
While one Cubs squad trounced the Reds in Mesa, the other squad was in Las Vegas, edging the White Sox 8-7. Ryan Dempster threw three innings of one-hit ball in the hitter's paradise known as "Cashman Field," allowing just one unearned run, walking none, while striking out two.
The Cubs play the Angels tomorrow afternoon in Tempe.
Re: Lahair Club Not Just for Men
Nice writeup as always Phil.
On Adducci, it seems to me like a bad idea to skip a level and try to re-work your hitting approach simultaneously. Have you gotten a chance to see him play some CF? I'd probably prefer him being on the ML roster over Colvin, because I think that will tend to retard both their development, but Colvin's probably got a little higher ceiling right now.
Re: Lahair Club Not Just for Men
Now that Colvin has put on 25lbs of muscle this offseason, I'd like to see him play every day at Iowa and see if he can hit for more power. He also has to stay healthy.
I would think Nady's not being able to play defense is the final nail in the coffin for Hoffpauir making the team.
That leaves Fuld, Colvin, Adduci, and Snyder. Can Synder play CF?
Re: Lahair Club Not Just for Men
Cool, thanks. If he does turn out to be a 5th outfielder and 1st base backup, a 25th man- that's not too bad an outcome. I have a feeling that a lot of our minor league outfielders are going to get a shot at some point this year.
Re: Lahair Club Not Just for Men
Thanks AZ
Excellent write up
-and even better headline! lol!
Re: Lahair Club Not Just for Men
Nady will start the year on the DL. I think if Colvin continues his success, he has a real good chance to make the opening day roster.
Re: Lahair Club Not Just for Men
nady DL what?
Re: Lahair Club Not Just for Men
If Nady can't throw it might be tough to keep him on the 25 man once the 5th starter is needed. I wouldn't be opposed to giving him some DL time if that's what it takes to fill out the bench, as long as they're not making room for Millar. Maybe they can start the year with an 11 man pitching staff and keep a 6 man bench, but even if they do that they'll have to find someone to platoon with Fukudome, essentially replacing Nady on the bench while he's limited to RHPH duties.
Lineup (8):
The Fook
Bench (6):
RH Hitting RF??
Rotation (4):
Pen (7):
When Lilly gets back from DL, someone from the bench has to go. If Nady could at least get it to the cut off man we'd have this whole thing figured out, except for the pen sucking so bad.
I was just assuming a platoon for Fook and thought I'd look up some basic numbers.

Re: Lahair Club Not Just for Men
I would think a 5 man bench would be:
If a lefty is starting they can have Baker and Nady in the lineup, and with a righty starting they can use Fontenot and Fukudome, and in each case Lou has other two, plus Tracy to pinch hit. Tracy backs up 1st and 3rd, Baker can also play 3rd, Fontenot backs up short, and you have one 4th outfielder, like Fuld or Colvin capable of playing all 3 positions adequately. Late in the game you pull Nady and Soriano to have a solid defensive outfield.
If they go with a 6-man bench they could keep either Blanco, for a true backup shortstop and a great defensive replacement for both 2B and SS late in the game, or Millar who would play the same role as Tracy only from the right side - a veteran pinch hitter and backup at 1B and 3B. I would think they would pick either of those two over Hoffpauir since he hits from the same side as Tracy.
BUT, if Nady has to start on the DL, then this complicates things. A 5-man bench would be Hill, Baker, 4th Outfielder, same as above, but then they would need another outfielder. Perhaps this would be Hoffpauir since he can play OF as well as 1B. But then would the team keep Tracy when he hits from the same side? They might pick Millar over Tracy to give themselves a right handed bat off the bench. A 6-man bench without Nady could of course keep all 3 of those guys, but that is also a bit redundant and I would see Lou taking Blanco over one of them.
Alternatively, they could decide to keep two of the young outfielders, in addition to Hill, Baker, and Tracy, or for a 6-man in addition to Hill, Baker, Tracy, and Millar.
I wonder if Phil can tell us when to start expecting cuts from the big league camp? I would think they need to get some guys out of there so they can give these possible bench guys more of a look. For instance, Millar has played only 1B so far, and Tracy mostly 3B with just 3 innings at 1B. I would think they would want to see if both of them can field both 1B and 3B well. I would also think they would want to continue to give Fontenot a look at SS to really see if they can go without Blanco. And of course the young guys need to keep being given a shot in the OF. For instance, we know what Fuld can do, but he is hitting just .125 with no walks in 16 ABs so far. Colvin and Adduci are really out-hitting him at this point.
Re: Lahair Club Not Just for Men
Keep in mind Fountainout can backup Aramis at third base. I think Tracy really has to show he's a offensive upgrade over Hoffpauir and Fontenot to make the team.
My assumption has been that Millar is just Nady to the DL insurance, though Nady could probably play 1st base with his arm in it's present condition as well as Millar.
Re: Lahair Club Not Just for Men
I find it highly unlikely that Hoffpauir makes the team if they go with a 5-man bench. They won't go into the season with Hoffpauir, Nady, Fuld/Colvin, Baker, Hill, which seems like what you are proposing. That would leave Fontenot, Baker, Theriot, Ramirez to cover 2B, 3B, and SS. Lou won't do that. You pinch hit for one guy or double switch and then you are severely restricted for the rest of the game, not to mention if someone is just day to day for some little injury (read Ramirez). Hoffpauir not being able to play third hurts his chances considerably.
Millar has played 3 games in the OF since 2005, and they haven't tried him there at all this spring, so I find him replacing Nady if Nady goes on the DL to be unlikely. If you mean replace his RH bat with Millar, then yes, but then they have to take someone off elsewhere to add another OF. Because I also don't think Lou will go into the season with only 4 people on the roster who can play OF.
Also, Hoffpauir so far is hitting .133/.235/.200, while Tracy is .333/.429 /.333, so right now Tracy has the edge, especially since he can play third, and has experience staying sharp pinch-hitting, while Hoffpauir has options and struggled off the bench last year in limited playing time.
Re: Lahair Club Not Just for Men
You've got Fukudome and Soriano who've got experience in center field and Hoffpauir and Baker with experience in the OF corners, so it would actually be Fuld/Colvin that get cut at the expense of Blanco in my suggestion.
You've got 6 guys to "play" the outfield, 3 third basemen, 3 nominal SS's, 4 2nd basemen and 4 first basemen in that scenario. You don't have a really solid CF defensive backup, though.
And yeah, I think Millar is only there to play experienced RH PH if Nady can't go at the start of the year.
Re: Lahair Club Not Just for Men
First cuts were announced today, and Arizona Phil was 9-for-9:
"Mitch Atkins was optioned to Triple-A Iowa and David Patton, whom the Cubs acquired in December 2008 in the Rule 5 Draft, was optioned to Double-A Tennessee. Both are right-handed pitchers.
[Brett] Jackson, [Josh] Vitters, catchers Steve Clevenger and Blake Lalli, infielder Matt Camp, and pitchers Jeff Kennard and Vince Perkins all were assigned to the Minor League camp."
Re: Lahair Club Not Just for Men
Az Phil, have you had a chance to observe the minor lge groupings at Fitch yet?
Re: Lahair Club Not Just for Men
I know it's just spring training, but:
"Reds first-baseman Miguel Cairo"
Oh, Dusty, I miss you so...
Maple Bats
Someone asked if it was a maple bat that almost took out David Price the other day.
Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe seems to think it was:
"After David Price was nearly impaled, can we agree that maple bats aren't a good idea?"
He also thinks Kerry Wood "also is drawing interest from his former team, the Cubs."
Re: Lahair Club Not Just for Men
"Hey Cleveland, want to pay Kerry Wood to pitch for us this year?"
"well have a good day...."
Re: Lahair Club Not Just for Men
He forgot to say please. That's the problem right there.
Re: Lahair Club Not Just for Men
Actually... there is a way this could work out which isn't far fetched. Wood, in his desire to return to the Cubs and play for a team that is nominally in contention, defers a lot of his salary so the Cubs could squeeze him in at maybe $3 million on this year's contract. I would guess that jersey sales would tend to defer some of those deferred costs, too.
Wishful thinking on my part, I know, but not total fantasy land stuff.
Re: Lahair Club Not Just for Men
Crane Kenney (too lazy to verify the spelling this afternoon) mentioned he reads BCB but I hope he reads AZ Phil's posts, too. He'll learn more about the Cubs reading one post than he could possibly imagine.
Re: Lahair Club Not Just for Men
As long as he doesn't start believing the crap that Yellon spews about baseball strategy, he'll probably be OK.
Re: Lahair Club Not Just for Men
Colvin is the MLB ST hits leaders.
...After seeing the next 20, I'm less excited.
I sure hope they don't trade him for rental, though.
Re: Lahair Club Not Just for Men
No chat room?
Re: Lahair Club Not Just for Men
Castro hurts his leg on what should have been the game-ending double play(tripped over himself a bit on a hard hit ball up the middle), staying in though
Re: Lahair Club Not Just for Men
He played the ball decent, considering.
Re: Lahair Club Not Just for Men
What I believe will determine the final 25 man roster is Hendry and Pinella's uncertain future with the Cubs beyond the 2010 season. The logical question is: Are these Cubs realistic contenders for a 2010 pennant?
If yes, then of course they take a veteran bench (Hill, Nady, Baker, Tracy, and Fuld) and trade for Frasor. It appears Baseball Prospectus and other number-crunching groups don't believe they are with 79 to 82 win projections. I tend to side with them and don't see Frasor (or even Kerry Wood) as difference makers. And with the payroll already near the maximum, it's hard to see a trade or acquisition they could make that would put this team over the top.
Logically, they should accept that and determine in 2010 if players like Castro, Colvin, Cashner, Samardzija, and Gaub can make significant contributions and can demonstrate skills that would identify them as future MLB players. Again, since that's not in Hendry and Pinella's best interests AND since the Ricketts family give every appearance of focusing on other areas of Cubs business in 2010...........HELLO, 3rd or 4th place.
Re: Lahair Club Not Just for Men
I'm sorry bro, but I'll have to respectfully disagree with you. Good & bad luck in this game can be worth anywhere from 10-12 wins a season and this team has a good enough core to contend. If you have the potential to contend, you don't exactly write off the team before the first game is played. Though, I do agree with your assessment of the veteran backups the team picked up... it makes them more "injury-proof" and not very necessary if they fall out of contention.
Re: Lahair Club Not Just for Men
BP believes a lot of crazy crap. The NYY were finishing 3rd behind the first place TB Rays last I checked.
Their projections seem to heavily punish anyone over the age of 32 regardless of their game shape or ability. Meh...

He was a big key to the crazy start, a big key to the end of last year, a big key in not beating the Mets (although lots of help from a tired inexperienced team there), so although the team as a whole can get through a series with a good Jake it will be tough with a bad Jake. I don't think it's realistic to have the insanely great Jake again, but maybe it is. Seeing today's box score it appears maybe it is - but I haven't been able to tune in yet.
IMO Jake is really the key to winning the World Series, but maybe I'm putting too much emphasis on one player.
The reports that they offered EITHER Jimenez or Torres for Chapman are a little disconcerting. I hope 1) Those reports are wrong, and 2) if they are not wrong, that they will hold on to him, as the team could use the outfield depth. I have only seen him in the futures game, but he looks like a keeper.
Very nice. I saw him in Lansing in May. I'm still stunned that he hit a 400-foot foul ball onto Larch Street ... which is going the other way for a right-handed batter. It was perhaps the most amazing swing I've ever seen a minor league player take. I should also mention that it was about 40 degrees out at the time. Not that it's evidence of anything per se, but I feel his plate approach is way more advanced than Soler was at this stage in his development and that the comparisons aren't really fair to Jimenez. 50/50 chance I'll go to Midland tonight for the low-A debut of Oscar de la Cruz.
Eloy Jimenez grand slam tonight. Hoping Soler power returns and gets hot but future looks bright in the outfield regardless.
Finished the night 4-5, with two doubles - 32(!) on the season - along with the grand slam. Sick
Meanwhile, out West:
SF is 2-11 since the break, lead over LA is down to one game, and they are running out Cain and Peavy this weekend against the Nats. Challenging times by the Bay.
Thanks for the updates Phil. Too bad about Frazier.
The Cubs have released RHRP Scott Frazier (2013 7th round dfraft pick - Pepperdine).
A Cubs pitching coach told me in Spring Training 2014 that he thought Frazier had the best pure stuff in the organization. Absolutely electric fastball & breaking ball combo. Other pitchers would gather behind the screen just to watch him throw "live" BP. That's how amazing he was.
Got a chance to see Diamondbacks RHSP Zack Greinke (15-day DL - strained oblique) throw a rehab start at Sloan Park Friday night. Four of the first seven AZL Cubs hitters singled and the Cubs did score an unearned run in the bottom of the 1st inning, but then Greinke got serious and struck out five in a row.
ZACK GREINKE: 3.0 IP, 4 H, 1 R (0 ER), 0 BB, 5 K, 4/0 GO/AO, 49 pitches (34 strikes)
Have fun - It may be good for Arrieta to be facing a team that doesn't know him as well as the NL teams. A nice shutout would do wonders for his confidence. He is confident in public but baseball is hard and he could use a boost, I'm sure.
Me too. I'll be at the game tomorrow and would love to see Good Arrieta.
Last few games have been the April version of the Cubs that disappeared completely the past two months.
Hope they can sustain it.
Don't sell yourself short, Judge.
I love this team.
Looks like Mother Nature is trying to call this fight.
Hey! I remember this team!
The key for Heyward's offense: get early leads. Heard a stat on Mike & Mike on the way to work that his avg/power much better this year when the Cubs have the lead. And true to form he gets the two run dinger with Cubs winning 3-0 ...

"Consumer Capitalism will be a critical addition to the growing debate on the consumer as citizen and consumer protection policies. Gunnar Trumbull presents an insightful and thoughtful analysis on the origins of consumer protection regimes in France and Germany, and their influence on the development of consumer markets and producers. By basing his argument in detailed case studies, he shows how governments in France and Germany pursued different targets and objectives with the result that product labeling, product safety standards, product recall, consumer contracts, manufacturer liability, and advertising rules have greatly diverged. This is required reading for those who wish to understand why the European Union faces multiple hurdles when seeking to forge common standards for risk assessment and management and how it may succeed in bridging the existence of competing approaches to product regulations in order to build a genuine European consumer citizenship."―Paulette Kurzer, University of Arizona, author of Markets and Moral Regulation

** FILE ** A cable box is seen on top of a television in Philadelphia in this May 30, 2007 file photo. TV's big switch from analog to digital broadcasts is coming up in just one year, on Feb. 17, 2009. And while consumers may still be puzzling over whether they need converter boxes for older TVs, there's far less mystery over which business interests could stand to gain from the shift. (AP Photo/Matt Rourke, file)
They're hot commodities.. those digital converter boxes you need to keep your old analog-signal TV set working after February 17th. But funding has "dried up from East to West" for the boxes.. according to Topeka DMA market coordinator for the conversion, Sue Gilgenbach. She told Topeka City Council members Tuesday night that Kansans should definitely keep applying for the $40 dollar discount coupons for the boxes. If more money becomes available, either from new appropriations from Congress, or from unredeemed coupons for the discount, more can be issued. The earliest estimate is March on many of the boxes.. after the official conversion date.
Gilgenbach urged viewers to take advantage of the so-called "soft tests" of local station's digital signals. (WIBW-TV's soft test is coming up this morning at 6:00am, and again at 6:00pm on 13 News Wednesday.) Sue says fans of network shows will lose those shows if they're not digital ready with a signal from the local affiliates. And to the disappointment of Lana Kennedy, Gilgenbach told the council that there's no "free ride" or free service to help people get a digital television signal if they can't afford it.

1994 Jeep Wrangler Sahara 2dr SUV 4WD
this jeep was my first car, and here is my testament to it. i barrel rolled this jeep going 50mph down the highway about 6 months after i got it. the accident was my fault, and i drove it home the next day. a little at home body work, along with new doors, new windshield and new hardtop from the junkyard (cost $1500), and it was like new. exaust was as loud as a tank, and acceleration was not that great. there were lots of little repairs here and there, but what else could you expect form a car that old. it will be sorely missed, as i am selling it to the junkyard tomorrow. im only ditching it due to back left leaf spring coming unattached and grinding into gas tank. extremly fun, i loved it
turned on a dime, best engine on the market, 4wd never failed, and you could beat the heck out of it and it would still pull through
only what you want to improve yourself. this is a very customizable vehicle, with many add ons possible.
I have had my Jeep since day 1, reliable tough rugged vehicle. This year's Wrangler is probably the best of all time, with modern styling and heavy duty construction. Never a major problem, not even a flat tire. I give it regular maintenance and it keeps on going. Now that the Jeep is 11 years old, it is equipped with every high-end accessory known to man for this Jeep, except the stock engine & transmission. It now sits equipped with and Old Man Emu Suspension, and all the ARB equipment from bull bar to lockers. When it snows is when we have most fun! NYC potholes, I laugh and spit at! The only other vehicle I would switch to is a Rubicon. A new beginning!
Tough, 4WD strong, great engine & transmission!
Maybe all Jeep Wranglers should have been made with the Renegade body.
Zippers break with regularity. Heater
does not heat passengers side very
well. View out the back window is very
limited because it gets scratched
fairly easly when rolled up.
IT'S a great looking JEEP
Hard to find color for replacement
windows. Route heater outlet to the
passengers side better.

Scotland were left still searching for their first win after being held to a 1-1 draw with Macedonia in Tuesday night's World Cup qualifier at Hampden.
There had been pressure on Craig Levein's men to deliver the win following the disappointment of Saturday's goalless stalemate against Serbia in their Group A opener.
Kenny Miller cancelled out Nikolce Noveski's opener just before the interval but the Scots could not find the winner, leaving them with just two points from two home games in a campaign which has so far failed to live up to expectations.

Wordpress 2.8.3.: New Security Release
The 2.8.3 release of the free blog software Wordpress fixes some privilege escalation problems left over from a previous version.
It seems a hijacked URL was enough to allow registered users access to option pages like those for plugins and themes. These issues have now been fixed, say Wordpress developers.
The privilege escalation problem was supposed to have been fixed in version 2.8.1 but obviously some areas were overlooked, regrets developer Ryan Boren. The version 2.8.3 download can be found at Wordpress.org.

I went to Red river over Ney years. I had heard a lot of people from my town talk about how fun it was so I was excited to go. But when i got there I realized that red river wasnt really as good as they made it seem. On the second day I was there i had gone on nearly every run, even the double diamonds. The only reason i didn't go on all of them the first day was because i was learning how to snowboard. This was my first trip snowboarding and by the second day i was going on their "expert only" runs without a problem. The terrain park was pretty small but it had a few good rails and only one big jump. One good thing was that there wasnt that many people so it wasnt crowded. The runs are not very long because the mountain is really really small! So if you are wanting some where to learn how to ski or snowboard go to red river IF IT IS CLOSE but i wouldnt go out of your way to go there and dont spend more than two days because you will go on most of the runs the first day.

Missy's new song "WTF (Where They From)" is the first single from her upcoming 7th album. Missy did not disappoint with this new video. This is classic Missy and it's exciting to see. Her creativity has been lacking in this music industry and now it's like a breath of fresh air. You know what…I've done enough talking. Let Missy Elliot do her work.

thanks for the detailed reply Cheech. Do you think these travel insurance programs would cover something like
1) you are traveling in a cab during your vacation/trip. The cabbie gets in an accident you suffer health problems. Would they pay your medical bills?
The policy does not cover medical bills or health problems. It covers loss of life, limb, hearing or sight. I do not believe it covers cab rides, either. Can you even pay for a cab with a credit card?
2) you are walking somewhere during your trip. you slip and fall and sprain your ankle. would it cover your medical bills?
No. It only covers common transportation carriers. Your feet don't count. ;-)
3) your laptop gets stolen from your hotel room. would it offer any coverage for this?
No. Lost luggage, yes. Stolen property from the hotel room, no.
4) you travel by bus to get to your trip destination, and you buy the bus tickets with your credit card that has travel insurance. the bus driver gets in an accident and you are hurt. any coverage for your medical bills and/or future health problems?
No. Loss of life, limb, sight, hearing only. Of course, the bus company's insurance should cover your medical bills.Message Edited by urgent_help_needed on 02-08-2009 12:46 PM

Show us where Trayvon's parents are profiting over the murder of their son.
I can certainly show you where the Zimmermans are profiting over the murder of a child if you've been living on another planet the past few months.
ZimmerThug doesn't "deserve" to walk. He deserves Justice, just like anyone else being accused of murder.

Now you're showing your ignorance.
It is well known that ZimmerThug and his wife have paid off credit card bills and normal monthly expenses from his blood money fund. He and wife Shellie even lied and misled the court about their blood money fund.
Those same funds have been used to enrich his attorney, who originally said that he would take this case pro bono.
And now, ZimmerThug's parents want in on the action with their own blood money fund.
The Truth is not your friend, Idiot. If you're getting bored, good. It is but a symptom of those whose minds are wasting away.

George Zimmerman not only deserves to walk, but he deserves to be compensated from all those involved who have assassinated his character and dragged his reputation through the mud.

You mean the "child" who was found with burglary tools? The Child who'd been kicked from school for being a wannabe gangster? The "child" who was bigger and stronger than Zimmerman and only stopped trying to kill him because he caught a bullet in the pump? Trayvuns folks legally protected his name and likeness so they could profit from the whole mess. For the record, I don't care that the kid was a punk. I don't think he deserved to DIE for being a stupid kid. But when the Feds and their racist boss Holder try to railroad a citizen by forcing a State AG to file unreasonable un-provable charges then I think the citizen should walk.

President Obama dug himself in a little deeper this afternoon.
He admitted sending Susan Rice out to do the five Sunday shows on September 16th, five days after the September 11th attacks.
Rice said the attack in Benghazi was caused by a spontaneous uprising that was sparked by an anti-Islamic video.
Yet at the second debate in October the President said that he had called it an act of terror in the Rose Garden on September 12th.
Yet on September 25th at the United Nations address he blamed it six times on the video.
The President was squarely on the defensive this afternoon. As he was floating the Susan Rice trial balloon and thumbing his nose at Congress, the President dodged questions and thumbed his nose at Congress.
It's not going to go away!

ZimmerThug is a dirtbag.
Whatever is left of that Lying Scum's reputation, I drag through the sloppy mud of your filth.
Let his child-killing butt come and sue me. I have no shortage of accurate things to say about that POS or you...Sucker.
Truth will always rule the day!

You are uninformed, misinformed or just don't care about the Truth.
It is ZimmerThug who initiated and exacerbated the situation that led him to kill a child. He can dress himself up, go on TV, shout about it being God's Plan, swindle people out if their money, mislead the court. It doesn't change the fact the he's a child-killer and a murderer to many.
You have failed to show where Trayvon's parents are profiting from his death. The Truth is you cannot and you know it. Keep on spewing the rat wing's Lies about that.
Attorney General Holder did not force the State Prosecutor to do any such thing as you claim. Provide proof of such foolishness. Just more rat wing talking points. Here is what we know...the republican State Prosecutor was appointed by a republican Governor and republican Attorney General.
ZimmerThug deserves no special consideration, such as was afforded him by the Sanford Police Department and the local immoral State Attorney. He's an accused murderer. He deserves to go through the process just as other accused murderers.
Never before have I seen such unrepentant support for a child murderer. My Truthful conclusion is that it has everything with the victim being a Black child.
It is a valid conclusion.

I'm sure that you feel it is valid, I however think it is quite biased as nearly everything racists say is biased. I have declared that I did not think this kid should have been killed for his poor upbringing and subsequent stupidity. I have declared that the situation was caused by Zimmerman's actions. But the point is that he should walk because the Florida law demands more proof than they can provide to convict him of murder 2. And if the charge had not been racially motivated by the "Justice" department then they'd have been more realistic and gone with negligent homicide or some such. But NO, they had to make a special example of this idiot Zimmerman. The sad thing is that with everything else that's troubling the world this trial could actually spark violence in the inner cities because the media whores that call themselves leaders of the black community will stoke the anger as the trial approaches next June. If Z does walk - as he should under these circumstances - then more black "children" may die. Of course, they might pass away in the middle of a gunfight. Why is it so difficult to see that the hate helps NO ONE?

A kid, with a chocolate bar and a bag of skittles.... a violent criminal!!! ROTFALMFAO!! I guess that makes Georgie Porgie a pissant wimp for only assaulting a law officer, beating up his ex-wife, raping a woman over a period of years..... Another clear example of a brainless fright wing moron looking a pile of dog sh!t and calling it a rose...

You're just another lying racist N-word, consumed by your fear and your hatred of Whitey.
You voted for President Obama,(by far, the worst president in American History), not because he was the better choice for America, but because he is black, and because you somehow stood to profit from his reelection in the form of entitlements.
Sooner or later you will get caught committing a crime and end up in prison.
Perhaps we will see you on TV spouting off to a reporter about how you are innocent, and about how you were "framed" for the hideous crimes you have been convicted of.
But don't despair, prison life wont be that bad for you.
It never is for homosexuals.

LOL!....Trying to have a rational conversation with "Be Truthful Be Free", aka Crisco, is like beating your own self over the head with a sledge hammer.
She is not interested in having an honest respectful discussion.
You'd have a better chance of being struck by lightning than having an intelligent conversation with Crisco, zazz, zerosum, etc.
You'll find this out for yourself if you continue to pursue a dialog with this person and her big fat followers.
Welcome to the club.

Ain't it great that Obama's still president?
