I Can See Four Miles (ABs)
Aaron Miles got four at bats and reached base twice, and four Cubs pitchers combined to throw a four-hit shutout with 13 strikeouts, as the EXST Cubs blanked the EXST A's 5-0 this morning at Fitch Park Field #3 under mostly-cloudy skies.
Miles, on the Cubs 15-day DL since May 27th with a sore shoulder, got the start at shortstop, and hit 2nd in each of the first four innings. He was the middle-man on a 4-6-3 DP in the top of the 2nd, but otherwise had a quiet day in the field throughout his four innings at SS.
At the plate, Miles grounded out to 2nd base (4-3) on a hit & run play that advanced a runner to 2nd base in the 1st inning, walked in the 2nd inning, popped up to short in the 3rd inning, and singled to right (sending the runner on 1st to 3rd) in his final AB in the 4th.
In addition, IF-OF Ryan Freel (on the Cubs 15-day DL with a strained hamstring since May 28th) and INF Luis Rivas (on the Iowa Cubs DL with a hamstring strain since April) took "live" BP, but did not play in the game. (Rivas has actually been at Fitch Park for several weeks, but he is just now starting to get out onto the field).
18-year old Dominican LHP Jeffry Antigua got the start for the EXST Cubs today and was outstanding, throwing four shutout innings, allowing two ground singles and no walks, while striking out eight. He kept the ball down on every hitter, getting four ground outs in addition to the eight punchouts, including the 4-6-3 DP that featured a nice "turn" by Aaron Miles.
19-year old RHP Tarlandus Mitchell (Cubs 2008 22nd round draft pick out of Alto HS - Alto, TX) followed Antigua to the mound, and threw two hitless & shutout innings, striking out four while walking two. Mitchell had a very poor outing last week in Tempe (he was yanked out of the game after only one inning), so I'm sure he felt good with his comeback outing today.
RHP (and ex-OF) Andres Quezada then threw two shutout innings, and RHP Carlos Rojas finished up with one inning of shutout relief.
The Cubs offense got going right off the bat in the bottom of the 1st. Jose Valdez was hit on the foot with a pitch (he also was hit on the same foot with a pitch in his next AB), and advanced to 2nd on the Aaron Miles ground out. Then with two outs, John Contreras blasted a double off the LF fence, scoring Valdez.
The Cubs scored again in the 4th. Matt Cerda (2008 4th round pick out of Oceanside HS - Oceanside, CA) led off with a walk, and advanced to 3rd on a line single to right by Miles. Then with one out, Chris Weimer lined a single to CF, scoring Cerda.
The Cubs got three insurance runs in the 8th, as 20-year old lanky Dominican switch-hitting infielder Robert Bautista (batting right-handed) led-off the inning by blasting a home run over the left-field fence onto 8th Street. (The normally light-hitting Bautista hit an inside-the-park HR yesterday, so maybe I should stop comparing his speed and defensive play to Junior Lake and his hitting prowess to Veronica Lake). Jose Valdez and Dwayne Kemp singled, and Valdez scored on a passed ball. Then Contreras singled, scoring Kemp.
Here is today's abridged box score (Cubs players only):
1. Jose Valdez, CF: 1-2 (HBP, HBP, F-8, 1B + 2 R, 1 CS)
2a. Aaron Miles, SS: 0-1 (4-3)
2b. Dwayne Kemp, SS: 1-2 (4-3, 1B + 1 R)
3. Matt Cerda, DH-C: 0-3 (F-7, BB, F-9, 4-3 + 1 R)
3x. Aaron Miles, PH: 1-1 (1B)
4. John Contreras, DH #2: 3-4 (2B, 1B, K, 1B + 2 RBI)
5. Chris Weimer, 1B: 2-4 (K, 1B, 3B, L-6 + 1 RBI)
6. Jae-Hoon Ha, LF 2-4 (1B, 1B, K, 1-3)
6x. Aaron Miles, PH: 0-0 (BB)
7. Logan Watkins, 2B: 1-2 (1-3 SH, P-6, 1B)
8. Jesus Morelli, RF: 0-2 (5-2 FC, K, 5-3 SH)
9. Alvaro Sosa, C-DH: 1-3 (F-7, E-6, 1B + 1 PO)
10. Robert Bautista, 3B: 1-3 (F-7, F-7, HR + 1 R, 1 RBI)
10x. Aaron Miles, PH: 0-1 (P-6)
1. Jeffry Antigua - 4.0 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 8 K, 1 GIDP, 4/0 GO/FO
2. Tarlandus Mitchell - 2.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 4 K
3. Andres Quezada - 2.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 1 K, 1 GIDP, 4/1 GO/FO
4. Carlos Rojas - 1.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K, 1/2 GO/FO
1. C Alvaro Sosa - overthrow at 2nd base on stolen base attempt, allowing runner to advance to 3rd.
2. 2B Logan Watkins - dropped pop-up in short RF, allowing batter to reach base.
1. Alvaro Sosa: 0-1 CS, 1 E (see above)
2. Matt Cerda: 1-3 CS
WEATHER: temperature in the 90's, mostly cloudy, not as hot as yesterday,
Re: I Can See Four Miles (ABs)
AZ Phil-
I love ya, but please don't associate that piece of crap ball player with the one of the all time greats, the Who.
How about "2000 Miles" by the Prenteders(also good) as in keep Aaron Miles 2000 miles away from Wrigley.
Thanks always for the great reports.
A Tweeting fool...
Lineup: sori, riot, fuky, lee, font, rejo, hill, blanco, z.
McLouth will bat third tonight for Braves.
"Harden to throw today and head to Iowa for Sunday rehab start. Barring setback, returns from DL 6/12 vs. Minn."
No DL for Bradley for now.
and then seems like some jokes by Z about players going into Lou's office.
Re: A Tweeting fool...
Geo traded?
Re: I Can See Four Miles (ABs)
Hopefully there will be a Jeff Gillooly sighting, and a possible mysterious injury that keeps Miles in Arizona for the rest of the summer.
Re: I Can See Four Miles (ABs)
Oh my goodness, it looks like Antigua was trying to top Suarez' last outing.
Arizona Phil, is it safe to assume these two will be locked into Boise's rotation (along with Nagel) in a few weeks, right? I hope so because Boise allows you the option to watch their home games online for free.
Re: I Can See Four Miles (ABs)
loooooooooooots of rain.
delay...might be a long one.

LaRussa suing Twitter
St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa is suing the social-networking site Twitter, claiming an unauthorized page that used his name to make light of drunken driving and two Cardinals pitchers who died damaged his reputation and caused emotional distress.
Re: LaRussa suing Twitter
Good. In general I am against the US being 'A nation of litigants' as my grad school roommate described us. However, the amount of really nasty shit people think they can get away with on the internet is way out of whack.
Re: LaRussa suing Twitter
So we have a right to free speech unless someone doesn't like what you are saying? It's the Internet. People say cruel shit all the time. Grow a pair, Tony.
Re: LaRussa suing Twitter
No, but the right of free speech combined with assumed anonymity shouldn't over rule existing libel laws.
Re: LaRussa suing Twitter
I'm definitely no law expert, and I understand and respect your point, but libel is specific to harming someone's reputation. And if someone is talking about true events: i.e. Tony getting busted drunk driving, I'm pretty sure that is more about Tony La Russa hurting his own reputation. If he doesn't like it maybe he should do less drinking and driving.
The bit about his feelings being hurt is B.S. He can ignore Twitter if he wants. Litigators do this crap for juries. Throw a few different charges out there with the hopes that a jury will pick one: Plaintiff gets what they want and the jury can go home feeling like they split the middle.
Re: LaRussa suing Twitter
Impersonating someone and saying stupid shit is harming to his reputation, so that's libel right there.
I am going to go out on a limb and guess that the things quoted in the article aren't the only things these knuckleheads said.
Imagine, for instance, if Kile's kid thought this was the real Tony LaRussa and signed up for the Twitter.
Re: LaRussa suing Twitter
If only! It's not that easy at all. If all you had to do was impersonate someone and say stupid shit there would be millions of libel suits more than there are now.
You have to prove harm to your reputation, emotional distress, or loss of money. You can't just be annoyed. Just being bothered or annoyed by something is the first reason these cases are dismissed. The onus is on the supposed victim to prove this. Did someone call him wondering why he was saying these things, did the newspaper pick up on it and report those quotes as his, did someone cancel a talk he was supposed to do because they thought he said them, etc.? Did people believe he said them. The site explicitly said that "bio-parodies are funny." The quotes were also outrageous. Would a reasonable person attribute those quotes to him, did anyone? If Darryl Kyle's kid did think he said that and called him and Tony then experienced emotional distress as he had to talk to him, then fine, but he would have to show that.
Most likely is that an agent or friend said "hey, there is this parody site out there pretending to be you, how do we go about shutting it down and discouraging this type of shit in the future?" Answer - file a libel suit. It gets attention to the problem, shuts down the site, gets twitter to be tougher on who signs up for accounts, make sure they never let anyone else sign up as Tony LaRussa ever again - and then in the MONTHS between now and when the case would go before a judge, you drop the charges, or you let the case get thrown out early on.
Re: LaRussa suing Twitter
Well, yeah, there has to be damages, or there's no reason to sue. If Twitter people thought they had a rock-solid case, they wouldn't have taken the pages down. I would imagine they're going to wind up having to be a little more thorough on what is defined as a 'parody' page in the future. You can see my comment below if you want an example of a page that has been up for 2 years, with no policing of it whatsoever.
Re: LaRussa suing Twitter
What a load of crap! The Twitter Tony L was clearly labelled a PARODY which is protected speech. Here's Twitter's policy
The standard for defining parody is, "would a reasonable person be aware that it's a joke." An account may be guilty of impersonation if it confuses or misleads others—accounts with the clear INTENT to confuse or mislead will be permanently suspended.
What happens to impersonation accounts?
Parody impersonation accounts are allowed to exist. The profile information on a parody account must make it obvious that the profile is fake, or it is subject to removal from Twitter.com. If it is not evident from viewing the profile that it is a joke, it is considered non-parody impersonation. Non-parody impersonation accounts may be permanently suspended for Terms of Service violations.
But because the perpetually inebriated LaRussa is suing Twitter, all parody accounts using his name are being pulled including NotTonyLaRussa.
Re: LaRussa suing Twitter
How do you know that it was clearly labeled, since it's been taken down? For instance, they may have added the label after some people signed up. I don't know, I never even signed up for twitter, but a quick google search leads me to this:
Obviously not the real George Bush, yet no mention of the word 'Parody' on it.
Re: I Can See Four Miles (ABs)
Do they have any estimate as to when the game might start?
Re: I Can See Four Miles (ABs)
Re: I Can See Four Miles (ABs)
according to the hour-by-hour tab on that link, it should clear up around midnight EST for about 3-4 hours.
They can't possibly be waiting for that.
Re: I Can See Four Miles (ABs)
only trip to Atlanta this year so they'll wait it out as long as possible.
Bradley update
as long as he can pinch hit in Cincy, he won't go on DL, they'll find out tomorrow. Think he can play the field again by the time they reach Houston.
As mentioned, Harden should be back to open homestand.
Lou Backs off the Koyie starting comment a bit
"Obviously, Geo is my No. 1 catcher. I'm just giving him a nice little mental break."
Game called according to Wittenmyer...
Just like that, it's official. Game banged. Don't have a makeup date yet.
Game Banged? That's hot.
June 22nd is the makeup date. Greatest day ever.
Re: I Can See Four Miles (ABs)
At the bottom of the Tribune's Cubs article today it has this encouraging word:
"Aramis Ramirez will begin baseball-related activities this weekend in Cincinnati."
Re: I Can See Four Miles (ABs)
"Aramis Ramirez will begin baseball-related activities this weekend in Cincinnati."
Nice news. Today (Friday) is exactly 4 weeks after the Friday, May 8th shoulder injury to ARam.
So he is on track for the schedule the Cubs (via Tribune writer Paul Sullivan, link below) reported. As per the Piniella quote (below) we'll get a better estimate as to ARam's return as he returns to baseball activity. Everyone has extimated 6-8 weeks for this recovery then add a few games in the minors (rehab assignment). 4 weeks is vs Brewers at Wrigley (July 3rd) and 8 weeks is at Washington after the all-star break, July 16th.
MILWAUKEE (May 9th)-- Aramis Ramirez will be in a sling for one week and spend three weeks in non-baseball activities, namely motion and strengthening exercises on his shoulder.
That suggests his stint on the disabled list will probably closer to eight weeks than 4-6, though the Cubs said it's too early to speculate on how long he'll be out of action.
"You're looking at a while," manager Lou Piniella said. "We'll know more after the first month."
Re: I Can See Four Miles (ABs)
Baseball-related activities... Lou told him to go find a bat stretcher.
Re: I Can See Four Miles (ABs)
Impersonating someone and saying things in that person's voice might damage that person's reputation, but it's not necessarily libel. (He's suing for trademark infringement, among other things, not libel.)
A libelous statement is more along the lines of someone not impersonating him said, "Tony LaRussa likes to kill and eat kittens."
Re: I Can See Four Miles (ABs)
These are the tweets in question:
"Lost 2 out of 3, but we made it out of Chicago without one drunk driving incident or dead pitcher... I'd call that an I-55 series."
"Fortunately, Ian Snell sucks now... when Molina and Duncan Jr. go deep off of you it's time to look yourself in the mirror, have an ice-..."
"drinking a cold Zima and wishing fucking Hancock was alive, I bet he could've gotten Jack Wilson out."
Dumb but not libelous.
Recent comments
Here are the ERAs for the last five starting pitchers:
At what point does the manager note it's not the "other pitcher"?
And why does he start Montero in the middle of a downturn?
Some perspective (mostly for my own benefit): Dan Straily beat MadBum 2-1 today as the Reds took 2 of 3 in SF. Giants are 2-9 since the break and their lead over LA is down to 2.5 games. So, yeah...baseball. It'll drive ya nuts.
McNutt / Archer didn't work out well for us.
The floor is more valuable than the ceiling. It's the same reason we drafted Kris Bryant instead of Jon Gray.
Apparently the Yankees had the choice of either Gleyber Torres or Eloy Jimenez in the Chapman deal, and they chose Torres.
Chapman shouldn't be reserved anymore on 40 man.
Interesting split on Heyward according to ESPN. As a CF, his slash line .292/.363/.375/.738. At RF: .212/.204/.300/.604. 21/72 as a CF, 58/273 as a RF.
He's also been better when batting 2nd, but he had a nice start in the 6 hole, but has slumped ever since. He was heating up before the All Star break, but is only hitting .108 in the 2nd half.
When we played the Reds with Chapman, I always thought of it as an eight-inning game. So now other teams have eight innings to try to get a lead against the Cubs. Should be a challenge, assuming three or four Cubs ever start hitting again.
I don't really try to get to know and like these players personally. I'm rooting for laundry, for the most part. Exceptions might be when a player makes trouble in the clubhouse or in the dugout. (Zambrano and Bradley come to mind. Also Papelbon.) But I don't think Chapman is one of those jerks.
Unfortunately, a pretty good summary. It looks like next year Heyward will be getting yet another batting stance adjustment.
The recent good news has been Baez. I'm afraid about the next league adjustment on him, though, which is probably right around the corner.
Bryant I don't worry about too much. Just not seeing the ball well right now. He'll turn it around. Russell's been good with men in scoring position all year and he's 22ish. He'll be fine but next year is likely to be his breakout year.
If Travis' back-to-back-to-back walks cost Hendricks the ERA title, that would really suck.
Edit: "A lifeless loss to a lousy Sox team."
This place is a real downer after a loss to the Sox.
I expect they will go 5-9 games above .500 the rest of the year. 96-98 wins will win the Division.
They should have one more 2-3 week hot streak in them.
However, several players are just "average" for the last month: Zobrist, Ross, Russell, Ceasar. Montero is terrible, plus he cannot throw anyone out. -WAR. Heyward is abysmal at the plate, but a plus in the OF. Still with RISP he has been terrible. KB has not been driving in runs as of late. But Apparently the team is still above average with RISP according to S Sahadev.
I came to that realization tonight. I kept expecting them to play better, but now I realize they aren't going to. They are a .500 team now.
- They have one reliable starting pitcher. Jake's magic is gone, and it doesn't look like it's coming back. Lester has been lousy recently. Lackey's ERA goes up every time he pitches.
- Heyward has been dead weight all year. I can't remember a single series where he was a significant offensive contributor. Not one. Great defense, but but if he were hitting .270 with 10 HR and played average defense, the Cubs would be better off.
new rule...no one's allowed to throw k.bryant a changeup
Team is .500 since early May and is playing like a .500 team. Lack of offense seems to be putting a lot of pressure on the pitchers...and they aren't handling it terribly well.
.500 the rest of the way still may win the division though.

Adding some weight to the front will help add a little more steering. You could also lower the front ride height. Lighter springs and shock oil up front will all help also. :D

Any "high current" connectors are good. Power Poles aren't very popular in the rc car/truck world but are definitely a viable alternative, especially if you can't or don't want to solder.

Gonna have to rename ya SC-Rob soon:)
Yeah I believe Fri and Sat they had SC and 2WD buggies goin at it.

It looks like a hopped up HPI Sprint. The shocks definitely look like HPI.

Umbrella Penne
Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 45 mins
This recipe is from Carpungnino, a small Italian town where there is a statue of a cat holding an umbrella. This pays tribute to the Ombrellai, or umbrella makers of this town. This makes for a tasty meal with some bruschetta.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 3 1⁄2 ounces pancetta (or prosciutto)
- 7 garlic cloves
- 2 rosemary sprigs (leaves only)
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 -2 lb plum tomato (seeded, peeled, and passed through a food mill OR 4 cups Bellissima Salsa Di Pomodoro #124000)
- salt
- 1⁄4 cup heavy cream
- 1 lb penne pasta (dry)
- Mince the prosciutto, garlic, and rosemary leaves together. Cook the mixture over medium heat until the prosciutto just starts to brown.
- Fold in the tomatoes, (OR Bellissima Salsa Di Pomodoro #124000 sauce) flavor with salt, and bring to gentle boil. Cover and simmer for 30-45 minutes on low heat or until it has reduced to a coating consistency.
- Boil and cook penne until al dente. Drain, and return to pot. Stir in the tomato sauce and heavy cream, and spread evenly on the penne.
- Serve hot. Add chili flakes and extra salt if desired.

Really can't go wrong, excellent recipe, enjoyed the subtle taste of rosemary! I would love to see the cat with an umbrella :) Dinner was much enjoyed, thank you, made for Cooking Mania Tag, October 2013
Oh my goodness! I had to use proscuitto since we don't have pancetta readily available here in Missouri, and I'll admit I'm not a big fan. And come to think of it, I don't like rosemary either lol. But this is honestly one of the BEST pasta dishes I have ever had in my life. I used 2lbs of tomatoes and thought it could use more sauce so I did add a can of drained diced tomatoes and it ended up perfect. This was soooo delicious. It will go into our weekly rotation! Thank you so much!
One of the better Italian recipes I have found on zaar!

Tokyo -- A book by the wife of Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan includes not only details of her life, but also some sharp criticisms of her husband.
Nobuko Kan's book, "Just what will change in Japan after you become prime minister, dear," published by Gentosha, aims barbs at her husband's performance as prime minister, including an admission that "even a family member couldn't have given his general policy speech a passing grade," the Mainichi Shimbun reported Friday.
"Actually, he is more suited to being party secretary-general or head of the policy research committee than being the leader of the party," Kan wrote.

Troubleshooting PIN Access issues
Student PINStudents have two PIN codes associated with our core Student Management System (SMS)
- Global PIN - assigned and released to students by our office of Admission and Registration (OAR). Used for
- Quarterly PIN / Quarterly Registration Number - assigned by OAR and typically released to students by their advisor. Used only for quarterly registration activities.
Employee PINAssigned and released by the Payroll department.
Disabled PIN Report (Tech Services only, shows employees with disabled PIN.)
Troubleshooting scenarios.
Student cannot access resource secured by their global PIN from MyWWCC.
1. First verify that the student knows their SID and Global PIN by:
Having them manually log into a global PIN secured application from outside MyWWCC.
The unoffical transcript application is good for this purpose.(http://www.wwcc.edu/CMS/index.php?id=3216)
If the student cannot login to this application there should generally be an error or they most likely do not correctly know their SID and PIN and need to be referred to the OAR office.
2. If the student can successfully login via this method. Then there may be a problem with the saved PIN within MyWWCC. On the home area of MyWWCC there is a link "Manage Logins". On the manage logins page there there is an SID section where the student can save their Golobal PIN so that MyWWCC can pass it automatically to many different applications eliminiating the manual login.
have the student save their PIN again and retry the login.
If it does not work have them try to save their PIN again. Outages of services accessed by the student global PIN are very infrequent.
Employee cannot access resources secured by their employee PIN through CCNET
1. Verify the employee knows their employee SID and PIN.
NOTE: in the past an employee's ID was their SSN and unfortunately some of our systems still accept SSN + PIN. It can be helpful to confirm that they are not attempting to use their SSN and to use their SID instead. This provides less exposure of their SSN and is the best practice anyway.
Employee who do not know their PIN codes need to be referred to the Payroll department.
An employee PIN may become disabled after enough failed attempts use the Disabled PIN Report in the Overview section to check.

Europe Decides Air-Conditioning Is Not So Evil
Published: August 13, 2003
(Page 2 of 2)
Makers of air-conditioners are scrambling to find substitutes for chlorofluorocarbons, gases traditionally used as refrigerants. They were banned by the Montreal Protocol, a 1987 treaty signed by more than 150 countries, because the gases deplete the earth's ozone layer. Mr. Mutz of Daikin said that European Union rules required the replacement of the gases in conventional air-conditioners this year, and in heat pumps, which can both heat and cool living spaces, by January 2004. All of Daikin's equipment meets the new norms, he said.
But France, joining a trend throughout Europe, wants to go a step further, Mr. Plazy said. By next year, the government hopes to have in place changes to building codes that will require architects and builders to help limit the use of energy both in winter and summer. The measures, he said, ''require architects to look at alternative materials, walls that keep the interior cool, window openings that reduce the cold in winter and heat in summer.''
The idea, in effect, is to urge builders to construct buildings as though energy supplies were limited. As Europe deregulates its energy market, electricity supplies are expected to rise, thus reducing the cost of running appliances like air-conditioners. Governments across Europe, eager to comply with the Kyoto agreement to reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide that come from the burning of fossil fuels, are seeking ways to curb energy consumption and production.
In part, Europeans learned to appreciate air-conditioning from the offices they work in and the cars they drive. In France today, as much as 80 percent of office and commercial space is estimated to be air-conditioned, though important gaps remain. American travelers often lament the lack of air-conditioning in hotel rooms. More seriously, in the present heat wave there has been loud criticism of hospitals, where few spaces other than operating rooms and emergency treatment areas are air-conditioned. In Paris alone, more than 50 deaths, including those of some hospital patients, have been attributed to the heat. Many industry officials say this summer's crisis could increase hospital installations.
When automobile air-conditioning caught on in the 1990's, it was in part because of automakers' seeking to counter stagnant sales by making it standard equipment. In 1998, only 55 percent of European cars were air- conditioned, said Tom Devleesschauwer, who follows the auto air- conditioning market at Global Insight, a London consulting firm. For 2003, he forecasts almost 82 percent. That may be little compared with the United States, where 98 percent of cars are air-conditioned, but the market continues to grow.
''If you expect it in your car,'' Mr. Devleesschauwer said, ''the next thing where you'll expect it is the home.''
Still, resistance lingers. News reports about air-conditioning rarely fail to mention that Legionnaires' disease can be spread through air-conditioning systems. The leftist daily Libération recently warned readers with the headline, ''Air-Conditioning Cools You, While Heating Up the Planet.''
Will this year's heat wave move the market permanently? Some, like Mr. Mutz of Daikin, think it will. ''The French market for residential air-conditioning had been evolving anyway, with 15 percent annual growth rates,'' he said. ''In fact, only about 4 to 5 percent of French homes have it, and you're talking 25 million. The potential is immense.''

There's confidence among Kentucky lawmakers that $370 million worth of building projects that Governor Fletcher vetoed last year from the two-year budget, will be restored.
House Speaker Jody Richards said House Bill One will restore every vetoed project. Senate President David Williams said the Senate is likely to support the measure.
Richards said a projected $279 million surplus should go into the state's rainy-day fund until lawmakers take up a new budget in 2008.

About Jeff Masters
Dr. Masters co-founded wunderground in 1995. He flew with the NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990. Co-blogging with him: Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 10:29 PM GMT on July 09, 2005
Entry from Friday, July 8
Dennis has come ashore on the south coast of Cuba, and it took one of the worst possible landfall trajectories--a 70-mile long track scraping the coast with its right eyewall. The right eyewall contains the hurricane's strongest winds and highest storm surge, and normally only a 5 to 10 mile section of coast suffers it. Cuba just had 70 miles of coast with some of its prime tourist areas suffer a storm surge of at least 13 feet, and probably 20 feet or higher in many places. Add to this the hurricane's sustained winds of 145 - 150 mph, and the result will be a multi-billion dollar destruction of a key part of the island's economy. Dennis has also made a direct hit on Cienfuegos, a city of 200,000, and is now aiming at the Caribbean's largest city, Havana. The destruction occurring in Cuba from this storm must be truly staggering.
Ham radio reports from Cienfuegos indicate that more than 85% of the power lines were down and extensive damage had occurred to the communications infrastructure. Sustained winds of 99 mph and a wind gust of 149 mph was measured in the city at 1:30pm EDT.
Entry from 10am EDT
Yesterday afternoon, Dennis went through an eyewall replacement cycle where the inner eyewall collapsed, and a new eyewall formed with a diameter of about 20 miles. This ended a period of rapid intensification, and the storm stayed roughly constant in intensity as a minimal Category 4 storm (135 mph, 950 mb).
The 8:30am EDT hurricane hunter flight just found a central pressure of 938 mb and winds at 10,000 feet of 155 mph, which means Dennis has recovered from its eyewall replacement cycle, and is now intensifying again. The eye is a healthy 15 miles in diameter, and it is unlikely that another eyewall replacement cycle will happen before the storm hits Cuba tonight. Cuba will probably see Dennis at its peak--and this could very well mean Category 5.
Dennis is now the most intense June or July hurricane on record, beating out Hurricane Audrey of June 1957, which was a Category 4 storm with 145 mph winds and a central pressure of 946 mb at its peak. Audrey killed 390 people in Texas and Louisiana when it came ashore, making it the sixth most deadly U.S. hurricane on record.
Today will be the worst day in Cuba's modern history. Dennis is a worst-case hurricane following a worst-case path for the island. The storm is already punishing Cuba as it moves parallel to the island, subjecting much of the island to hurricane force winds and rainfall totals of 10 - 15 inches, and destroying much of the rich sugar cane fields and other crops. The situation will get much worse tonight when the storm makes landfall, pushing a storm surge of 20 feet or higher onto a long section of the coast. Dennis will pass near Havana, the most heavily populated part of the island. Although loss of life will be low thanks to Cuba's excellent civil defense system, the destruction of buildings will probably be the worst in Cuba's history. Building collapses are common in Cuba without having hurricane winds battering the cities. Dennis will damage or destroy hundreds of thousands of buildings, leaving a large percentage of Cuba's population homeless. Lack of fresh water and electricity will be serious problems, and Cuba's political stability could well be threatened by the scope of what is likely to be its greatest disaster in modern history.
On that cheerful note, let's talk about the plight of the poor people living in Florida's panhandle, which is likely to bear the brunt of yet another major U.S. landfalling hurricane. Dennis will cross Cuba over a realtively flat section of the island, and be reduced in intensity to only a Category 3 or weak Category 4. Once over the Gulf, some intensification is likely, but the amount remains uncertain. The waters get cooler further north, and since we are still early in July, the depth of warm waters is limited. Dennis may stir up enough cool waters from down deep to limit intensification to a Category 4, or perhaps even reduce it to a Category 2. Dennis looks likely to hit within 50 miles of where last year's Category 3 Hurricane Ivan hit, killing 25 and causing $7 billion in damage. Expect a repeat of this performance, although the exact strength of Dennis at landfall could range between Category 2 and Category 4, and will greatly influence how much damage is done. Key West will likely get hurricane force winds tonight, but miss a direct hit by 40 or so miles. The outer bands of Dennis are already affecting the island; a squall with heavy rain and winds to 30 mph passed through the island at 8:30am. The rest of the west coast of Florida is also likely to miss a direct hit, but still get tropical storm force winds of about 40 mph.
Entry from Thursday, July 7
At 3:55pm EDT, the hurricane hunters sent in an eye report of a central pressure of 957 mb, 1mb higher than the previous hour's report. They also reported the eyewall was beginning to break up, with an elliptical shape 9 x 6 nm, and open to the south. Satellite pictures also show the disintegration of the inner eyewall, and the storm should begin a slow weakening period that will last a day or so. It should maintain Category 3 strength until it hits Cuba. NHC is forecasting Dennis to continue intensifying the next 12 hours, which I believe means the winds will continue to come up into equilibrium with the rapid pressure drop we saw. I wouldn't expect much in the way of pressure falls until tomorrow, when the eyewall can re-establish itself.
Entry from 1 hour ago:
At 2:30pm EDT, the hurricane hunters sent in an eye report of a central pressure of 956 mb--an impressive 6 mb drop in just 70 minutes! The eye diameter was a tiny 9 nm (10.5 miles), and the storm is undergoing the rapid shrinkage of the eye and sudden deepening characteristic of an eyewall replacement cycle. I expect that within a few hours, the winds will respond to the sudden pressure drop, and Dennis will be a major Category 3 hurricane, and may make it to Category 4 status (135 mph winds) before the inner eyewall collapses and the storm starts weakening slightly. Dennis will not reach Category 5 status today, though--the pressure would have to be much lower than 956 mb at the beginning of an eyewall replacement cycle to achieve Category 5 status. Nevertheless, Hurricane Dennis has grown into an impressive Cape Verdes-type hurricane, and will be a serious threat to everything in its path. After blasting Haiti and Jamaica, Dennis's next targets will be the Cayman Islands and Cuba--and then the Florida Keys. Today, I will focus on the Caymans, Cuba, and the Florida Keys. Tomorrow--it's time to talk about the mainland U.S.
Florida emergency management officials have ordered a mandatory visitor and nonresident evacuation for the entire Florida Keys beginning at noon Thursday. At 6 pm, all residents of mobile homes are required to evacuate. The rest of the residents of the Keys have not been ordered to evacuate, but likely will be asked to do so Friday. With only one road out of the Keys, this part of the U.S. has the longest lead evacuation time--a full 72 hours is needed to evactuate the entire island chain. Last year, Hurricane Ivan prompted a mandatory evacuation order as well, and 30,00 - 60,000 of the 80,000 residents of the Keys heeded the order. The Keys escaped serious damage from Ivan, and no doubt many Keys residents will try their luck and ignore the evacuation order for Dennis. Like Jamaica and New Orleans, the Keys have had an inordinate amount of luck dodging direct hits from major hurricanes. I think their luck will hold this time around, too, but one of these days, those residents who ignore the evacuation order will wish they hadn't!
Grand Cayman Island is still years away from recovery from last year's Hurricane Ivan, which brought sustained winds of 150 mph, gusts to 170 mph, and a storm surge of 10 - 12'. 95% of all the buildings on the island were damaged or destroyed. Grand Cayman will likely escape the brunt of Dennis, but its sister islands Little Cayman and Cayman Brac, which lie 150 km to the east-northeast, may feel the storm's full force. Cayman Brac escaped Hurricane Ivan's rampage with minimal damage--winds only reached 50 mph there--but Dennis may bring winds of over 100 mph. Loss of life on Cayman Brac is unlikely, though, since the island's population of 1300 generally takes shelter in a large network of natural caves on the west end of the island that provide ideal hurricane protection. Cayman Brac's reefs--ranked by diving enthusiasts as some of the best in the world--are unlikely to be seriously harmed by Hurricane Dennis, though. Ivan, a much stronger storm, did only minimal damage to the reefs near Grand Cayman Island, and did divers a favor by clearing out old algae deposits and opening up new holes in coral walls for divers to explore.
After whipping the Cayman Islands, Dennis will likey hit western Cuba. This is the same region that was struck by Hurricane Charley on Friday, August 13, 2004 (Fidel Castro's 78th birthday). Charley was a Category 3 storm, with sustained winds of 120 mph and a storm surge of 13 feet when it hit Cuba, passing just 15 miles west of Havana. Charley did over $1 billion in damage to Cuba, and damaged or destroyed over 70,000 buildings. The 13 foot storm surge on the coast south of Havana was particularly devastating. For example, the fishing village of El Cajio on Cuba's south shore lost 290 of its 300 homes to the storm surge.
Charley caused serious problems in Havana and the surrounding areas. 70% of Havana's two million residents had no fresh water four days after the storm, and more than half had no power 2 weeks after the storm. The Cuban government shut down the entire electrical grid in the hours prior to Charley's arrival to prevent damage from power surges and intermittent service, or else the damage to the power grid would have been far worse.
Unfortunately for Cuba, Dennis is likely to bring a replay of the miseries brough by Charley. A storm surge of 12 - 14 feet is likely once again, and since the storm is travelling at more oblique angle to the coast than Charley did, the area of Cuba likely to be seriously affected by hurricane is much greater. Dennis will be another billion dollar hurricane for Cuba, and probably the second most destructive hurricane ever to hit the island, behind 2001's Category 4 Hurricane Michelle, which damaged or destroyed over 110,000 buildings. But thanks to Cuba's phenomenal civil defense plans, loss of life is likely to be low. Only five Cubans died in Hurricane Michelle, and four in Hurricane Charley.

Dennis is steadily intensifying, and will likely affect the islands of Hispanolia, Jamaica, and Cuba as a Category 1 or 2 hurricane before coming ashore in the U.S.--who knows where? Since it is way too early to speculate on where in the U.S. Dennis might hit, let's focus on which island will bear the brunt of the storm.
The latest computer model guidance is tightly clustered, bringing Dennis between Jamaica and Hispanolia on Thursday. Dennis could potentially hit either island as a Category 1, 2, or 3 hurricane. Let's consider Jamaica first. In 2004, Category 4 Hurricane Ivan was headed straight for Jamaica, and in the final hours just before landfall, made a sudden jog to the south around the island, largely sparing it from massive destruction. The track looked so suspicious, I suspected at the time that Jamaica somehow deflected the storm by creating some sort of alteration of the steering currents of the hurricane. I couldn't think of a very good mechanism for how this might have happened, though, since Jamaica is a small island, and the tallest mountains on the island are only 7,000 feet high. Steering currents for a hurricane operate at much higher altitudes, centered at an altitude of perhaps 25,000 feet. When I used NOAA's excellent Hurricane Tracking Tool to plot up all Category 2 or higher hurricanes for the past 150 years that passed within 75 miles of Kingston, Jamaica, it revealed that Ivan was the only storm that made a sudden jog around Jamaica, and that in general, hurricanes just ignore the island and blast right over it.
So, don't be surprised if Dennis rips straight across Jamaica like Hurricane Gilbert did in 1988. However, Jamaica is heavily forested and able to handle extreme hurricane rains without major loss of life; furthermore, the hurricane storm surge is usually not a problem, since the storm surge wave can just wrap aorund the island without being forced up on shore. The primary hazard to people are the winds, which easily destroy the tin shacks much of the poor populace live in, but usually don't cause heavy loss of life. A direct hit by Dennis will cause a lot of damage but not much loss of life on Jamaica.
Of greater concern is Haiti. A direct hit by even a Category 1 Hurricane Dennis could easily kill thousands on island, and even a side-swipe could well kill hundreds. The problem on Haiti is that they have chopped down 98.4% of all their trees, leaving the denuded mountains unable to absorb heavy rains. Heavy hurricane rains wash down the mountainsides, sweeping the helpless Haitians to their doom. Last year's Hurricane Jeanne--just a tropical storm when it hit Haiti--killed over 3000 Haitians, making it the 12th most deadly hurricane ever. Dennis' current projected path has it sideswiping Haiti's western tip, which is less populated than the areas of the island that usually suffer extreme devestation, so I am hopeful that Dennis will cause minimal loss of life in Haiti.
Entry from Tuesday, July 5
The newly-formed Tropical Storm Dennis over the eastern Carribbean looks poised to become Hurricane Dennis later this week. The storm has a typical look of a classic Cape Verdes-type hurricane at its formative stages. It has a large circulation covering most of the eastern Caribbeam, plenty of deep convection near the center, spiraling bands of low-level cumulus wrapping into the center, and a decent upper-level outflow pattern of high cirrus clouds. The storm is over warm ocean waters >28C and has a favorable environment with light shear ahead of it. The only strikes against it would seem to be the mountainous terrain of Cuba and Jamaica, plus history--Cape Verdes-type hurricanes are quite rare in July. Dennis is only the 3rd tropical cyclone to form in the eastern Caribbean in July. Despite this history, I will not be surprised if this storm becomes a large and dangerous Cape Verdes-type hurricane later in the week.
In fact, this hurricane season has set the record for the earlist hurricane season with four named storms (records go back to about 1850). The previous record was set in 1959, when there were four named storms by July 7. Does all this activity in June and July portend a record-breaking hurricane season for 2005? Dr. Chris Landsea notes in his excellent Hurricane FAQ that "the overall number of named storms (hurricanes) occurring in June and July (JJ) correlates at an insignificant r = +0.13 (+0.02) versus the whole season activity. In fact, there is a slight negative relationship between early season storms (hurricanes) versus late season (August through November) r = -0.28 (-0.35). Thus, the overall early season activity, be it very active or quite calm, has little bearing on the season as a whole."
Indeed, although four named storms formed by July 7 in 1959, the season turned out to be an ordinary one, with 11 named storms (which is average) and 7 hurricanes (one more than average). However, storms forming early in the season out in the area Dennis formed (south of 22 North Latitude and east of 78 West Longitude) are very often a harbinger of an active hurricane season. For example, take a look at 1933, when a record 21 named storms and 10 hurricanes formed, with four of the five June and July storms forming in this area.

Can we buy any version of IYP on a monthly basis.
I'm dubious on IYP effectiveness relative to our strength in the SE's but I'm up for testing them.
Which ones can we purchase on a test basis rather than on a 1 year contract. Also can we adjust strength of coverage over time?

Bloomberg reported from 3 different sourses. True, everyone hoped the sales is higher. But, since the devices were just out from 1 to 3 months ago, this 1.5 million units sold are acturally pretty good.
Especially for the Surface Pros, 400,000 units have been sold, since the Pros were launched about a month ago. This puts the Pros at about 1.5 millions for a quater. Since they sell for about $1 k a piece, this is about $1.5 billonsof fresh revenue. Add in the Surface RT, this is acturally way, way better than the street feared.
Surface Pros are basically sellign at 1.5 million untes a quater!!!!
Start from June, INTC shoudl start to have the Haswall chips ready. I am expecting MSFt to release Surface Pro 2 pretty soon. With Haswall chips, MSFT Should be able to make smaller , lighter , cooler and cheaper Surface Pros!!!!!
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Bill Gate on Bloomberg news said the initial sales were limited in distribution. He is pleased with the sales and its is picking up. Large corporate needs to go through their more vigorous process of acquisition. Don't you see this year Microsoft is breaking its pattern and rising after Jan 15, its the latency of the reported result is pushing from Dec, Jan to by few months. Be patience and the reward will be great. Dividend increase will be on the way.
BS. Just about no one outside Redmond ever bought one. Complete dud. Zunelike catastrophic market failure.
Who's buying these tablets? Not me! I own 2 iPads and I plan to buy a Nexus 7 next.
hey its the board ex con bashing Microsoft again ghosananon cant you find some dope customers or find some other criminal activity to keep yourself occupied

lights These lights work great and are very east to install. April 11, 2012
not submersible! They leak water and blow out the main blub. You can however remove the plastic lens cover and replace the 1157 blub and silicone it back on so it does not leak water. September 14, 2011
Useless waste of money I looked on the package for anything that may indicate these were not suitable for saltwater, but found nothing. So i purchased them and installed them on my trailer. They lasted a total of 3 launches and 3 recoveries. After that the interior of the brake light area was so corroded the bulbs would not work, and could not be removed from the bracket. While trying to get the bulb out, it broke and cut my thumb because it was so corrossion-welded into the bracket. Upon checking the brackets, the area the wires go into the lights, had holes at least twice the size of the wires. So much for the term "Submersible".... I wasted my money, and am writing this review hoping it saves you from wasting yours. August 16, 2011

Check out this great article about Alameda County's Girl's Court program that appeared on the front page of the NY Times, above the fold!
The Girls' Court was created in 2011, upon recognition by key stakeholders that young women in Alameda County had unique circumstances that brought them into the juvenile justice system. The Girls' Court is a collaborative effort between the Public Defender's Office, the District Attorney, the bench, Social Services, Probation, and a number of community-based agencies. The mission of the Girls' Court is to provide a non-adversarial, trauma-informed courtroom that is focused on addressing the trauma, healing, and empowerment of young women through comprehensive case plans that address each young woman's unique challenges.
Congratulations on the recognition for all your great work.

LOS ANGELES - Don't get the idea that Chris O'Donnell was in mortal danger when he had his moment of truth. He wasn't anywhere near a scary mountain at the time.
In fact, the actor was only 50 feet off the ground during a rock-climbing exercise while training for the mountain-rescue thriller "Vertical Limit."
Still, 50 feet is a lot for a fresh-faced, Chicago-based actor known better for starring in light comedies such as "The Bachelor" or playing Robin in tights in two "Batman" movies.
"Although it's true that I couldn't have been killed up there because I was attached to a rope, I could have fallen 15 or 20 feet and slammed into a wall," O'Donnell said.
"And then, all of a sudden it happened. My foot slipped. I didn't fall but it was one of those moments when your heart races and your life flashes before your eyes. In that moment, I thought to myself, 'What was I thinking?' My next thought was, 'Somebody better show me a copy of my paycheck again so I can remember why I'm doing this movie."'
O'Donnell might be joking now, but he insists that he was serious about having second thoughts on that climbing wall.
Mountain climbing and action movies are both virgin territory for O'Donnell, and that may explain why he accepted the role.
"However tough it was, the role was worth it," he said during an interview in his Los Angeles hotel suite. "I learned so many new things, and I think it changed me as an actor. I've never worked so hard on a movie."
The cast members, which include Bill Paxton, Scott Glenn and Robin Tunney, probably worked harder than they ever have on a movie. It is doubtful that any previous filmmaker required them to undergo four weeks of grueling physical training to whip them into shape and look like real mountain climbers.
"I was frightened by heights before I started this movie," Glenn said. "The highest mountain I ever climbed was a 3-foot stepladder.
"During the training period, I redirected the adrenaline that was coursing through my body out of fear into pure concentration, and that's how I made it through the movie."
Glenn did not just make it through the movie. According to Barry Blanchard, one of the world's top mountain climbers and the man responsible for training the actors, Glenn was the most proficient climber among the group.
"That actually is Scott climbing that ice wall in the movie, not a stuntman," Blanchard said. "He took to it like a passion and went further than any of us expected."
O'Donnell said he came out of the experience with a genuine respect for real climbers. But don't expect to see him climb Mount Everest anytime soon.
"Personally, I don't have any desire to do anything like that," he said, "but I think I understand what they're all about. It's like a drug for them. They have to have more. They climb one mountain, and then they have to climb a taller mountain."
In the film, O'Donnell and Glenn lead a rescue mission up K2, the world's second-tallest mountain, to save Tunney (playing O'Donnell's sister) and a billionaire adventurer (Bill Paxton), who are stranded at 26,000 feet after a doomed expedition.
O'Donnell remembers the unexpected call that he had gotten the role of climber/nature photographer Peter Garrett in "Vertical Limit."
"My wife and I were in the car with take-out food when my agent called," the actor said. "My wife was eight months pregnant at the time, and I told him that I had to get my wife's OK before I accepted the role. I turned to my wife and said, 'Are you sure you're comfortable with this?' At the same time, I could hear my agent yelling over the phone that it didn't matter what she said because he already had committed me to take the role."
Luckily, O'Donnell's wife, Caroline, was comfortable with the six-month commitment. The couple flew to New Zealand, where she gave birth to their daughter Lily.
Director Martin Campbell, whose last two films were the James Bond adventure "GoldenEye" and the Antonio Banderas-Catherine Zeta-Jones steamer "The Mask of Zorro," said O'Donnell was perfect for the part.
"We didn't want a beefy, chunky hero type. We wanted someone who could seem realistic in the action scenes but could also play the vulnerable, emotional scenes. There are not a lot of actors around Chris' age who can do both," he said.
Much of the filming was done in New Zealand, where the 12,349-foot Mount Cook stood in for the 28,250-foot K2 in Kashmir. Additional filming was done in Utah, where some of the film's breathtaking opening sequence was shot.
At least one avalanche in the movie was created by computer (the rest were real avalanches triggered by controlled explosions), and most of that opening scene was filmed on a 110-foot wall built by filmmakers. Still, the key word on this film, according to those involved, was realism, and they believe they accomplished their goal.
"There will be some climber somewhere who will find fault with this movie," O'Donnell said, "but show me any golf movie and I'll poke holes in that. You can always find something if you look hard enough."
O'Donnell, Campbell and producer Lloyd Phillips agree that this one is as realistic as any climbing movie ever made.
Phillips bristles at the notion that people will immediately compare the film to the hugely successful "Cliffhanger," a 1993 action film directed by Renny Harlin and starring Sylvester Stallone.
"There is no comparison," the producer said. "We are a way better movie because we set a higher standard for our movie. They had a great opening sequence just like we have a great opening sequence. But from that point on, their movie was not about mountain climbing. It was about guns, drugs and stuff like that. Our movie is about mountain climbing."
Phillips conceded that even "Vertical Limit" had to make some concessions to drama. "We did stretch credibility at times, but I don't think a lot of studios would put up a ton of money to make a movie about a bunch of climbers moving one step every five minutes. It would be a 44-hour movie.
"Let the purists worry about that; I'm comfortable that we've made a realistic movie within the confines of making a Hollywood movie."
The producer would be heartened to hear what Blanchard said in a later interview. The expert mountain climber said he would not hesitate to show "Vertical Limit" to his climbing buddies.
"I worked on 'Cliffhanger,' and it was a constant battle. I begged them not to use a bolt gun (a Hollywood invention) because I didn't believe anybody would buy a device that shoots studs into pure granite. That movie was a comic book.
"But I'm OK with the realism in this movie," he said. "Sometimes, the drama won out, but I think they did a pretty good job of reflecting what really goes on up there."

It's the new Freedom Torch! Hooray! Bernayse would be proud.
Nicole USED to be beautiful, until Ronald McDonald got hold of her with the Botox.
Wow, I totally agree with you, this seems very strange coming from the League of Women Voters. I don't think Botox is aging gracefully, I think Botox is denying that you are aging at all.
Scary! she looks like Hepburn from Golden Pond.
This is the weirdest story I've ever heard.
There are procedures that minimize the appearance of wrinkles and don't paralyze your entire face. Why can't actresses go with those options? The bat-boy effect is so much worse than a few fine lines.
League and Allergan Join Together to Launch Voting Campaign at New York City Event (NEW)
The LWVEF recently entered into a relationship with Allergan (a leading maker of eye care and skin care products) on their Freedom of Expression through Film campaign in 2008. The relationship has multiple components including sponsorship of the Leagues VOTE411.org Web site; creation and distribution of a League PSA featuring Oscar®-nominated actress Virginia Madsen; and sponsorship of ten GOTV events around the country that will allow us to involve a new demographic of voters that we have not previously reached as a group, workers in the beauty industry. These ten events are aimed at educating attendees about the importance of being able to express oneself freely and to make educated, informed decisions, including decisions as a voter. The events will also feature Allergans products, including their BOTOX® cosmetic product. Additional questions can be directed to Nancy Sturm at email@example.com.
Coming Soon!
Thong Depends!
Oh crap, Will. You just made me throw up a bit.
Yeah, this is weird. Isn't the League of Women Voters supposed to be, like, a respectable organization? As in the kind that wouldn't promote this kind of crap?
Nicole's got something more than just Botox going on there. Definitely lifting, and her whole face looked pumped full of something -- it's a completely different shape than it used to be.
But, yeah, this meeting sounds like the weirdest thing ever. Respect for Madsen just shrank to zero. Funny how a "feminist" organization like this is so much worse than their supposed enemies. This is far worse than a couple of douchebags shouting "iron my shirt" at Hillary.
That is a horrible, horrible picture.
I just remembered how sexist it was when they posted that really unflattering photo of Hillary Clinton. Funny how when you want to attack a woman it's easy to use a close up of her face in the wrong light. Women who are suspected of "cheating" to look better are particularly vulnerable. Which is perhaps what Madsen is speaking up about.
Personally I think she looks 40 and pregnant and perfectly fine.
Only one link per post. Sorry. That's the rule. Paralyzed and expressionless? Her face didn't seem paralyzed in The Golden Compass either; critics seem to have liked her work in that, if I remember correctly.
Also, since I gots my thinking cap on, how come this is a hit job on Nicole Kidman instead of Virgina Madsen? What did Kidman do to anybody deserve this abuse?
It's official... elenchos has a vendetta against Erica.
This post seems totally innocuous to me. But whatevs, you're free to waste time on proving Erica wrong every time she posts.
It's a fair point. Kidman wasn't at the meeting, didn't have fuck-all to do with it; she's minding her own business many thousands of miles away. Interesting.
"Its unclear why, exactly, a venerable institution like the League of Women voters would participate in a campaign like this.."
duh, erica. it's pretty clear to me that allergen inc. gave the lwv a bag of money to pimp their prod. how else could you explain this contrived and (otherwise) unnecessary promo?
I love it when feminism reveals itself for what it truly is: Misogyny.
Welcome to the club bitch, now get me a beer and STFU.
Erica is the primary reason I've cut down on slogging. She rarely posts anything that isnt some screechy femiprop diatribe. Her scope of interest is so limited and lopsided that most her posts are boring and predictable (Misogynists! Transit! . and the fact she is the most prolific Slog contributor cuts down on anything of interest out there. She also doesnt know how to properly link things or edit her posts so they wind up taking up several more pages than they should or what it warrants. Did I mention the piss poor quoting she does?
All in all she is the worst thing thats happened to slog and offers nothing.
Botox actually does have some legitimate medical purposes. The doctor I work for uses it to treat Parkinson's and other movement disorders. Medicare even pays for it. One patient came in the other day who I thought was just out of college. Turns out she was 89 years old.
I keep asking the doctor to save the leftover Botox for some after hours injection parties for her office staff. She said no. She also declined to sign a note declaring that I need medical marijuana. What a party pooper...
I can almost hear the ugly girl cackling when she found the weird pic of Nicole Kidman.
Bob, you're an ass.
I'm back from MN!
This just goes to show that Ginny got the lucky, never-to-be-repeated break of her life in "Sideways." (For more evidence, see "Firewall." Or "The Astronaut Farmer." Or "The Number 23.")
That picture is just - um, well, all I can think of is images of Katherine Helmond's face swarthed in Saran Wrap and Jim Broadbent saying, "snip, snip, slice, slice - can you BELIEVE it?"
Uh, that Bob is not the same as this Bob. Anyway, ECB isn't ugly, she's totally cute.
PS - from the photo he posted on his blog Bob is not exactly what I'd call a looker. Not ugly, but certainly a scruffy hippie-type.
Club Bitch, did that recently open in Belltown? Oh, and if you think ECB is indicative of feminism or representative of all feminists, you're crazy. Now STFU and get me a cosmopolitan.
That is a bit shocking from the league of women voters.
And on a superficial note, I don't blame botox for the Nicole picture- its her hair. It is so light it blends with her skin, it is teased straight up, and her hairline is very high. These things combine to make her look like she is going bald. Her face is still cute, if a bit stiff.
I'm conflicted. On one hand, yeah, Botox is sort of retarded.
On the other, should we care what Nicole Kidman, or any woman, does to her face? Shit, why do we have such a huge personal investment in what she looks like? Ok, she's vain! Who cares?
I hope they got a bunch of cash for doing these events (cash that they will presumably use for a good cause), because this is pretty ridiculous/weird. It's a pretty big stretch to say that doing these types of events would allow them involve a new demographic of voters.
Oh, thanks for taking my tip. whew. When I got the 'invitation' I decided I had to go in a way that would indicate my life/liberty was at stake. Two straight hours of doublethink. Please see my blog for my report I submitted as a blog tip to the Stranger office.
The Real vs. The Fake. The battle never ends...
Real keeps getting defeated, but there's so much of it to be squashed & replaced with Products You Must Buy Now or Be Left Behind.
I'mm still irked that Nicole is "blonde". It's like it's a law anymore.
I remember an America when teeth were ... tooth colored.

Jay-Z to play 1st Mariner
1st Mariner Arena is making a splash with some big acts.
By Jess Mayhugh. Posted on September 08, 2009, 2:00 pm
1st Mariner Arena (still hard not to call it Baltimore Arena) has really been stepping up its game lately. A couple weeks ago, the arena announced that Bruce Springsteen will play there for his first Baltimore show since 1973, when he opened for Chicago. Yeah, The Boss is also playing in D.C., but 1st Mariner will be one of the smaller venues on his tour.
Today it was just announced that hip-hop heavyweight Jay-Z will also be performing at the arena this fall as apart of a "College Arena Tour" to promote his latest album, Blueprint 3. His October 27 Baltimore show looks unique to the tour, as most venues are stadiums on college campuses, from Penn State to UMass to University of Texas, Austin.
According to the press release, there are 21 dates confirmed (which you can view here). Additionally, Jay-Z will hold a charity concert at Madison Square Garden on September 11, where 100 percent of the concert's proceeds will go to the New York Police & Fire Widows and Children's Benefit Fund.
Tickets for the Baltimore show go on sale September 11 at 10 a.m. and can be purchased at livenation.com. Can't wait to see who's going to play the arena next!

be greatful deadguy....thats a heck of a nice find.
long time ago i had similar, i say similar cause--though it was the shop owners gun, we could not get it to run proper.
and as i wanted it as a carry gun, i was sad. than along came the Defender a few years later and i was happy.
it is still on my short list of hand guns i am wanting.
enjoy !!

Beautiful! I drooled on one just like it in a hardware store back home, many times, when I was too young to buy it. However, the web of my right hand almost starts bleeding, just looking at it. Next to unmodified Browning Hi-Powers, no handgun bites me as badly as do those old Commanders.
Nice find.....I'll give you $100. for it!

text: In the sidebar widget that lists other posts belonging to a series, the title automatically says 'Other posts belonging to the Series: whatever" [whatever standing for the title of my specific series]. I would like to change the word Series to Issue, so that it reads 'Other posts belonging to the Issue: whatever'. How is this done, please? Thanks.
