I can see why this show only went two seasons: it's smart, and it doesn't
give you a case of ADHD. You actually had to figure out who was who, and
follow characters over an entire year. The writing was good, smart and
funny; a lot of it took place in a courtroom. Sort of a truer and grittier
L.A. Law.
It, and many other worthwhile shows, had to move out of the way so we could all get to see "American Idol," "The Swan" and "The Apprentice." Yes, our culture is headed downhill, but not in the way conservatives ofter say. An appetite for the fast buck and a contempt for the audience go a very long way.
I remember that I watched the first episode of "Murder One" because I
saw a commercial for it which featured a woman (Bobbie Phillips) whom I
found simply gorgeous. After I watched the episode, though, I thought,
"This is the best television show I have ever seen!" I continued to
enjoy Bobbie's beauty, but she was just the icing.
The cake was the story and the acting--especially that of Daniel Benzali who, in my opinion, crafted the most fascinating television character ever. Intelligence, refinement, rectitude...Mr. Benzali portrayed Theodore Hoffman as a Howard Roark/James Bond composite that I had previously hoped to see but felt would never materialize in any form of fiction, especially via the medium of television.
The first season of "Murder One" was an absolute joy to watch, every single episode. It seemed bigger-than-life yet believable at every turn. My hope is that it will find its way to DVD. Hey, Teddy Hoffman became "real" despite my doubts; perhaps the story of his law firm will one day become "binary" despite my doubts.
(It eventually happened -- the DVD set, that is -- and I am grateful.)
Yet again another great show was canceled. Good thing shows like "Law & Order" & "The Practice" are still on the air. "Murder One" was an excellent show with great acting. The twists & turns on the show kept it riveting. I am a bit partial to Dylan Baker who's a very good actor. There won't be another good show like this again. If on the slim chance there is it will get canceled. Good shows always do.
I am glad to see that Murder One was a hit in Europe--it deserved every
success. Great acting--Daniel Benzali was outstanding. I guess
audiences couldn't handle a balding, smart actor. (He played a mafia
boss on NYPD Blue before this show, and he damn near stole the
episode.) Stanley Tucci is always good--Richard Cross was a villain you
could hate and have a great time. And it had one of my favorite
actresses, Barbara Bosson (Mrs. Bochco). Season two was not as good but
had some fine moments. Anthony LaPaglia was clearly hired because he
was younger and good looking, but he did a fine job. The peak of season
two were the final six episodes, which ABC packaged as a mini-series
called "Diary of a Serial Killer". The accused, Pruitt Taylor Vince,
was absolutely the most compelling criminal I have ever seen on any
show. Great casting is a strength of Bochco's shows, and Murder One is
no exception. I cleaned house and foolishly threw out my tape of the
serial killer episodes. Bad move.
Ironically, although the American public couldn't handle a season-long series that covered only one trial, a decade later it went nuts over "24", a show that took place in one day.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I was like a lot of you -- the first season of this show was absolutely
amazing. Daniel Benzali is a PHENOMENAL actor, although I am partial to
Stanley Tucci as Richard Cross. The style, pacing and storytelling were all
first rate, and seeing almost every episode on A&E only enhanced my memory
of the show.
I had almost forgotten there was a second season -- and with good reason, at first. The first case introduced in the second season was weak by comparison, although I really like Anthony LaPaglia as Jimmy Wyler.
But the show began to pick up steam with the "Ricky Latrell" case, and then they began showing the "Street Sweeper" episodes. WOW. Amazing stuff about a serial killer who only kills criminals. The killer is played by an actor I've only seen once or twice, Pruitt Taylor Vince. He is ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. Vince plays the killer as walking a fine line between brilliant and unbalanced, and at times you feel very sympathetically toward him.
If you get the chance to see the "Street Sweeper" episodes, DO NOT pass it up! To see Vince and LaPaglia in scenes together is to see some of the strongest acting going.
That just about says it all. After this got cancelled, I stopped watching TV for almost 2 years.
Murder One has to go down as one of the best series on of the 90's. The
first series plot has you going one way and another spotting one red
herring after another, right up until the last episode.
Whilst I do remember the show well, I also remember is had a bit of a Scooby Doo ending to it, not entirely consistent with the previous 22 episodes.
According to the press, whilst it was a monster hit in the UK (and other parts of Europe) it died a death in the US. I'm not sure if that's purely academic propaganda, but the suggestion was that US audiences didn't like the idea of having to follow a series rather than encapsulated 60 minute stories. Who knows, all I do know is that the seconds series was a severe disappointment.
Clearly taking lead from some pressure state side, the trials became 3 episodes long, with little or no 'main plot'. UK audiences kept trying to piece together a bigger picture, only for there not to be one. As a result, it was widely criticised. Plus, the loss of Teddy Hoffman was a bitter blow. He'd become such a familiar feature of 23 episode run that when he wasn't there, it was never going to be the same.
Maybe it suffers a little from the X-Files factor. A second series was a mistake and it should have quit while it was ahead.
First series - Outstanding Second series - Fine for a rainy evening
I recently purchased the DVD of the first series. The very first
episode quickly reminded of how much I enjoyed all 23. It is truly
compelling television. All the characters, even the most minor are well
cast and played magnificently by all. I particularly enjoyed the
Machiavellian scheming of "Richard Cross", played by Stanley Tucci, the
smart comments of judge Beth Bornstein(I forget her real name) and
Miriam Grasso played by Barbara Bosson (with such aplomb!).
They don't make them like this any more, 24 does not cut it in comparison.
So I'm over visiting my Aunt in Italy in 2004. She is a stay at home mom and watched a lot of TV. While I was there I got to watch the last few episodes of the first season on Murder One. I fell in love with it and when I got home I looked it up and found out it was aired on TV in 95,96, and 97. In the summer I was at WalMart one day and I saw the first season on DVD. I figured me and my mom could watch it b/c she likes those kind of shows. Well we never ended up watching it so I took it to college with me and I watched it there. It became like my drug! I couldn't go a day w/o watching it! I was so drawn in it wasn't even funny. The lawyers are so hot and the women are beautiful. The last 3 episodes I watched like in a row. I couldn't wait to find out who the killer was because I left Italy before finding out. When I first started watching the second seasons I wasn't as impressed,but as the stories went on and thing heated up between Jimmy and Justine I began to love it just as much as the first season! I love all the office romances thrown in. It makes the show so realistic. The court room scenes are also awesome as those get heated up. All the supporting actors were outstanding as they each brought something different to the show. I was sad when I was done watched the DVDs. I just wish there was a way it could continue on with more seasons.
I have just finished watching the second season of "Murder One" on DVD.
A friend of mine had been talking about this show like it was the
pinnacle of TV-suspense for a very long time before finally ordering
both seasons on DVD. Now i have finished watching both and it was a
very mixed experience.
First of all it's difficult to review this show without mentioning the great differences between the two seasons. The way is see it there were three major differences that made the first season superior to the second.
The first season had one major trial that it covered in 22 episodes. The second season covered three different trials in 18 episodes. So the format was quite different. Personally i very much preferred the format of the first season. Of course i had the advantage of watching the show on DVD so that i could see several episodes a day sometimes and never risk losing track of the story. I thought it was a nice touch to have a single case throughout the season, it made the show stand out from typical court-room dramas that deal with a new case every time.
The second big difference between the two seasons was the departure of Daniel Benzali and the entry of Anthony LaPaglia. Changing leads between seasons is never easy and filling Benzali's shoes is very difficult. However i feel that this didn't present the major drawback that i thought it would. LaPaglia is a very competent TV-actor which he has displayed again and again. He doesn't have the commanding presence of Benzali, nor does he have that complexity in his character that Benzali had. One of the biggest points of the first season in my opinion was the fact that Benzali's character was one that gave me very mixed feelings. He was undeniably an absolute bastard in many ways, but also fair and a man of principles. So there is something missing when Benzali left the show, although i would put it down to a lot less quality in the script rather than a worse actor in the lead.
The third difference i would say is the fact that the second season lacked a villain or adversary worthy of the name. Stanley Tucci's character Richard Cross was perhaps one of the best characters i've seen in TV-drama. The kind of character you never knew what to expect from and that you never really knew whether you should love or hate. In the second season they tried to add some crooked politicians and the likes but without much success.
To sum things up i really liked the first season. It was good suspense and it especially had very well written characters. Benzali and Tucci had a nice duel-thing going that i appreciated very much and the case was interesting. The second season lost Benzali, lost the interesting villain and had three rather uninteresting (and rather disappointingly solved) cases. LaPaglia holds his own but the script is so much worse than in the first season that it doesn't really matter. My recommendation would be to definitely watch the first season. And if you feel up to it you could also watch the second since it's at least decent entertainment. But only the first season is required viewing.

Having a photo booth at an event such as a birthday party of a wedding or maybe even a bachelor party can be a lot of fun. A photo booth can help you save memories for years to come. Almost everyone who has tried to rent a photo booth or buy one for a wedding or other social event must have seen that there are different types of photo booths. Out of which two are the most prominent. One of them is a long- established arcade type that has a bench and a roof and also contains curtains that are for privacy. And then there is the new photo booth, which has a design that is relatively more open than the conventional photo booths. It is quite different from the old classical arched boxes that only had a camera and a backdrop.
Buying or renting an open booth can be advantageous. With the open booth, you can take as many group photos as you can. You can take shots off at least ten people together. A large group photo can be even more fun and is good for keeping the record of memories. Another advantage of taking a picture of a group of 10 people is that the jostling and the laughter and the giggling spread among all those in the party. It is fun for the ones who are actually in the photo. Open booths are usually easy to transport and can be fitted anywhere. Whereas the arcade type booth cannot fit, but there is a major advantage of the open booth that it cannot be used outdoors without there being a proper arrangement of lights.
The arcade type booth has its very own typical classical charm that cannot be replaced. They can be matched to the decor of the event as they have curtains and everything. It can be set in the smallest place available. The only problem is the size and the style. It can only accommodate 3 to 4 people at a time. Your final decision should be based on the-the type of event that you are hosting and the type of entertainment facilities that there already are in the event. It should be made sure that the venue of the event has sufficient space for either one of the two photo booths, whichever one you decide to rent of course.
There is another booth, the four flash photo booths that is dependable and reliable. They have a long-established design and have the latest technology. They add to the guest experience. They would ensure you and your guests to get an actual sense if the extravagant photo booth. They have the latest gear so that your guests enjoy photographing as well as enjoy those memories for long to come. This will leave every guest raving about the event and the memories and the amount of fun that they had in taking those pictures and getting the best quality pictures that they could have.

Shoeless Z
Re: Shoeless Z
sorry, lost the first comment when I reworked the Z pics.
from 6-0 to 9-0. Fukudome, Soto, Colvin, DLee all getting in on the fun. Even ARam gets a clean line drive single.
Bob Brenly said he wonders what the Pirates are thinking.
The 2nd pic
looks like his foot is invisible
In Things That Will Never Happen
Brewers could use some starters, we need a reliever
Gorz for Coffey and/or Villanueva and if it's "or" Brewers toss in a minor leaguer
or toss in Grabow and give us back Mitch Stetter
Re: Shoeless Z
The team is playing a lot looser now that Z has been sent to the bullpen. Obviously, it was his presence in the dugout that was making the hitters suck.
No fair, Soto is trying to pad his stats against some scrub, and they decide to get Hoffman some work.
Re: Shoeless Z
riot's raised his average 41 points today.
Re: Shoeless Z
Lou's decision to move Z has sparked the team!
Re: Shoeless Z
well, after the last 2-3 days it's probably safe to say soriano's "hop thing" is showing no signs of stopping.
if someone goes to the press and says a bunch of words people get satisfied for some weird reason. they see responsibility and "manning up" and other illusions of common sense coming into play.
soriano loves to placate situations with words then keeping on doing what he wants in action.
meh...it's not like he's a dick. he does listen to others about his hitting and puts his work in and all that crap, but he just tends to do whatever he wants when he feels like it.
Re: Shoeless Z
No one's told him to use a smaller bat, and to lay off sliders low and away?
Re: Shoeless Z

Re: Shoeless Z
when i see stuff like this in real life...such as on the street or in a coffee shop...i try to get away from it.
others tune in to listen to and participate in it...whew...not my thing. wow.
i barely made it through the 3 minutes...heh...
Re: Shoeless Z
I am going to call it as I see it... of as long as Soriano is coming off a .240 season, at least.
Re: Shoeless Z
You beat me to this one by almost 24 hours, but I just posted it anyway.
Re: Shoeless Z
i haven't seen someone so lost on the curveball as ike davis in forever.
Re: Shoeless Z
I would have to assume that he's thinking it is something else - he didn't just miss it, his bat was through the swing by the time it got there.
Re: Shoeless Z
Bats are afraid.
He really can't hit a breaking ball. That's followed him everywhere he's been. He strikes out a lot. 112 Ks in 488 PAs between A & AA last year. He had trouble hitting that weak ass breaking stuff. Once the big boys start snapping off the nasty stuff on him, he's going to have a lot more swings like that one.
Re: Shoeless Z
hell, he didn't even swing at marshall's and took a strike on one while "bailing" out of the box turning his back thinking it was coming inside.
tonight he's looked just as bad.
Re: Shoeless Z
I'm starting to understand the role of Byrd on this team. The Cubs have historically (and by historically, I mean the last 5-6 years) been terrible against lefties. It's nice to finally have a batter that mashes lefties.
Re: Shoeless Z
I would like to a serious platoon with him and Colvin. Let them both destroy their match upds.
Re: Shoeless Z
Just for fun...
Per BA webite, through 14 games at AA, Castro is hiting .426 wih 15 RBI and 11 XBH.
Re: Shoeless Z
small sample size still but Colvin is putting up some nice numbers, too.
Re: Shoeless Z
Word. Suddenly the Cubs have four outfielders with nice OPS numbers. If our first baseman and third baseman could hit like their usually selves, the offense would be really intimidating.
Re: Shoeless Z
In the double-header today Chirinos (C/inf, AA) hit his 5th homerun of the season and his 4th and 5th doubles. He's batting .383. With all those guys hitting, you've got to wonder if any one of them would be doing nearly as well if the others weren't also pounding the ball. But at Chirinos's age, he has to earn himself a callup to the majors if he can continue to show the ability to make contact and hit for power while playing C and being capable of playing a variety of other positions.
Re: Shoeless Z
Pelfry... the Silva of the East
Re: Shoeless Z
was looking for some info on a couple of early 00's cubs players and ran across a jim callis chat from 2003...
Q: Michael Smith from Chicago asks:
Hey Jim if Bobby Brownlie would of signed before you came out with your top ten Cub list where would he rank? With Brownlie in the mix where would the Cubs farm system rank overall in baseball?
A: Jim Callis: I'd be tempted to put him third, because I think he's more advanced than current No. 3 Andy Sisco and No. 4 Felix Pie. If I took the approach that he hasn't proven anything yet, Brownlie could go as low as 9th or 10th. The Cubs are stacked. One player wouldn't be enough to put the Cubs in the No. 1 farm system spot over the Indians. They're a top five organization, however, and we'll release our rankings in the upcoming Prospect Handbook.
Q:Keno Leighty from Vancouver, WA asks:
Hello Jim and thanks for the chat. Is Angel Guzman a future #1 starter or will he figure to be a middle of the rotation guy? Also what is his injury past? Thanks.
A: Jim Callis: Possible No. 1, though that's his ceiling and not a certainty. Some in the organization think he might follow Mark Prior's express route from Double-A to the majors this year. I'm not aware of any injury history with him.
Re: Shoeless Z
the q/a is part tragic and part funny...the cascade of injuries that took down most of the kids mentioned hadn't started yet.
it also seems baseball prospectus compared ex-cub brendon harris to albert pujols in their annual prospect rankings that year and people were shocked baseball america wasn't as high on him based on a chunk of the questions.
it seems to be from Feb. 2003...
also...from the lol dept...
Q: Sean from Calistoga asks:
What are your expectations for Carlos Zambrano this year and in the years to come?
A: Jim Callis: Long term, I see him as more of a reliever than as a starter.
Re: Shoeless Z
our future 8th inning guy is still on the DL...but he feels good!
(I know, I Know, let it go...)
Re: Shoeless Z
Kerry Wood? We can't afford no stinkin' Kerry Wood.
Why aren't you posting anything about Milton Bradley? He just took another week off. Didn't even have the courage to play in Chicago. Knowing stuff like that is very important to, uh...
not exactly sure why it's important, BUT IT IS!
Re: Shoeless Z
What is your problem? You have been doing this to every one of Cubster's post the past few days. When I follow players day in and day out while they are on the Cubs, I am still somewhat interested in what happens to them after they leave the team. In addition, we are always trying to evaluate Hendry's moves, including players he has traded away, players he had the chance to sign but didn't, etc. For example, I like to see Silva doing well and Bradley sucking, and it not the other way around. So ex-Cubs news is interesting. You've been here awhile, surely this is not the first time you've seen this. If you are not interested in reading anything about Bradley, then don't. But no need to attack Cubster for posting this stuff.
Re: Shoeless Z
I'd like to think that Lee's bomb is a sign that he's going to start turning things around soon. And Aramis hit the ball on the screws yesterday, but he hit it right at the defense. But time will tell if it actually starts clicking for them.
Re: Shoeless Z
It will be difficult for them to maintain a .250 BABIP & .149 BABIP respectively if they are hitting the ball as hard as they did yesterday. It's a completely different lineup when Aramis Ramirez is hitting. Also, with Marlon Byrd's massive 600/577/840 lefty split, maybe the Cubs lineup won't be so impotent against the Doug Davis's and Zach Duke's of the world like they have been in the past.
Still, for all the optimism, let's not forget these are the same guys that slumped for an entire season (last year).
Re: Shoeless Z
Ramirez's swings are looking better. He'll thaw in the next 20 games at most. A little bit of Santo Domingo weather wouldn't hurt.
Re: Shoeless Z
Aram's swings looked much better yesterday, but that makes one day in a row they looked okay.
He's been dipping all season and you can't even hit a ball off a tee when you move your head as much as he has been.
Re: Shoeless Z
So the Astros start out 1-9 this year, then they go 7-1 during the last 8 games. If anyone figures this game out, let me know.
Trophy on line in Cubs vs. White Sox
Re: Shoeless Z
I guess everyone is probably rolling their eyes at this, but I think it's pretty cool.
Re: Shoeless Z
If the annual series is split 3-3, the Crosstown Cup will be awarded to the winner of the series' last game.
Now that's just goofy. They should run it like they do the Ryder Cup. If the series winds up tied then the Cup is retained by the team that held it coming in.
Re: Shoeless Z
I will give it to Colvin he is really impressing me. He might be one of those guys who doesn't light the world on fire in the minors but just excels in the majors for some odd reason.
Keep up the good eye and power stroke. Next step in his evolution is when the league adjusts, can he?
Re: Shoeless Z
"Next step in his evolution is when the league adjusts, can he?"
So true.
Re: excels in the majors for some odd reason.
I can give you 25 lbs of Instant Magic Muscle reasons he's succeeding.
Re: Shoeless Z
Next step in his evolution is when the league adjusts, can he?
Absolutely. The real test is how does he react when he starts to struggle?
Re: Shoeless Z
Well, at least you have owned up that not every single prospect is shit and the Cubs have the worst minor leagues in baseball as you usually do.
Re: Shoeless Z
I didn't own up to anything, I have 20 years of history on my side that this organization doesn't know its ass from a hole in the ground in developing positional talent.
I am the biggest pro-prospect guy around here. I wanted Choi, Murton, Theriot, Patterson, Pie to all do good. But at the same time i recognize players glaring faults. Like Pie had no business being in the majors when everyone wanted him on the roster. What would it hurt for him to actually develop for the next 3-5 years? What he gets called up when he is 25? Clearly that would be to late in his career to be worth anything. Now everyone wants Castro to be Pie Version 2.0, brought up too early, destroying anything of value from him.
I like some parts of Colvin and not others, and I am still not part of the play Colvin over Soriano crowd. Though Soriano's defense lately will want me to have anyone out there but him.
Re: Shoeless Z
Well, the Cubs ran out of options on Pie.
That's not close to being an issue with Castro yet. But if Castro continues to hit he should see AAA soon, and then his offense will again be the determining factor in deciding whether he sees Wrigley before September. He's hardly being handed anything.
It'd be nice if Kyler Burke and Josh Vitters would start hitting. They seem to be the only high-profile slugger prospects in our system right now, though Chirinos (old for his league) and Castillo (of the sub .200 average but over .600 slugging percentage) are showing decent power for catchers.
Re: Shoeless Z
Well...they could have...I dunno....played Pie? For more than 6 weeks? I know I'm a pain in the ass on this..always have been, but they never really gave him a shot. Brutal.
Re: Shoeless Z
I'm assuming that is a response to MikeC, but just in case, I'm right there with you. They still ran out of options on him, though, which wouldn't have meant getting rid of him had they been willing to make a role for him on the major league team.
Re: Shoeless Z
Maybe the Cubs can pick up Embree:
Alan Embree said Monday that he will opt to become a free agent if the Red Sox do not call him up to the majors this week. "There's not going to be any extending of the deadline anymore. I've been a good soldier, I did whatever's asked, and I did what it took to get ready," Embree said from Triple-A Pawtucket, where he hasn't allowed a hit, walk or run in his last five outings. But with Tim Wakefield joining the bullpen this week, it's doubtful that the Red Sox will have room.
Re: Shoeless Z
he's a lefty...it seems they're in the market for a righty. i hope they find him fast.
i'm still getting over this Z-in-pen thing.
Re: Shoeless Z
Cashner and Diamond are both pitching very well in the minors, and so is Jay Jackson. They're all slotted as starters right now, but the Cubs shouldn't be that concerned about impeding Diamond's development, and most people (not necessarily the Cubs) seem to think Cashner is 8th or 9th inning material in the long run. Caridad is also due off of the DL fairly soon.
The biggest problem in that bunch of guys right now is Grabes, who's going nowhere. I'd be okay with picking somebody like Juan Cruz off of waivers, though. Those personality problems were all the way back in 2003, weren't they? Maybe he's matured.
Re: Shoeless Z
The other problem with Cruz is that you just don't know which Cruz you will get:
ERAs by Year
2002: 3.98
2003: 6.05
2004: 2.75
2005: 7.44
2006: 4.18
2007: 3.10
2008: 2.61
2009: 5.72
Re: Shoeless Z
True. That's true of most relievers, though, isn't it?
I'd be okay with Rob G.'s suggestion of a Gorzo for Coffey and a minor leaguer deal--the Cubs have a surplus of left-handed starter types right now, might as well use them somehow. But Cruz seems to actually be a better bet to be effective than Coffey (of the career 1.46 WHIP and nowhere near Cruz's K ability).
Re: Shoeless Z
Crazy thought of the day-
Call Sox offer them Gorzy and Soto for Thorton and AJ.
Re: Shoeless Z
There is a pretty lengthy discussion about the merits of Juan Cruz over at Goatriders. One reader (SMan) argues that Cruz's weakness has been that he cannot be trusted in high pressure situations and thus has been relegated to low pressure/mop-up type of situations. He concludes with the following statement:
"We need Bullpen help, we don't need mop-up guys with arguably average low-pressure results but horrible track records in pressure situations. Might as well take our chances on what we got if its between them and Cruz; at least we know they have upside…"
Check out the whole thread for the entire discussion over at:
More discussion at:
Personally, I tired of Juan Cruz several years ago and I don't want him back. Another million dollar arm with a 10 cent head.
Re: Shoeless Z
It's been implied, by one of the posters, that he imbided too much of the Wrigley night life. Maybe he matured.
Re: Shoeless Z
As someone correctly pointed out in the comments of Rob Neyer's blog, Cruz has allowed every inherited runner he's got this season to score. Sounds like a Wrigley disaster.
Re: Shoeless Z
i'm still getting over this Z-in-pen thing.
I happen to feel better about the pen. Let me put it another way: In Saturday's game, who were the Cubs going to turn to if not Z in that very key situation? Marmol? How would you feel about that?
Expensive bullpen arm, sure, but a great reliever fill-in until Hendry does what he should have done in the off season: solidify the bullpen. And I'm not dogging Hendry on this issue. He's screwed a lot of things up, but we don't know how short his leash was this off season. My guess? Real short.
Re: Shoeless Z
"In Saturday's game, who were the Cubs going to turn to if not Z in that very key situation? Marmol? How would you feel about that?"
well...Z didn't exactly make me feel better with that outing. all i saw was a 120+ pitch arm doing the same thing he always had with his day being over quickly.
the guy isn't holding back some "woah" pitch or something he doesn't want to show too many hitters than he can just let go because he doesn't want to break it out early when he might have to face the same 9 guys 2-3 times through the lineup.
Re: Shoeless Z
It's funny, we've decided not to use some guys in high pressure situations because they have given up too many runs in too few innings this year. But Z gets the 8th inning because he's got stuff, even though he has given up too many runs in too few innings this year. We excuse Z because he has a track record that says he's a good pitcher. These other guys simply don't have track records. How do you get a track record, again?

Welcome to the 2015 Cubs 400 lb Ryan Howard!!!!
Recent comments
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.
...i hate espn.
nothing like settling into a cubs game to get a few minutes cutaway for an ortiz AB in the 6th inning of the det/bos game.
oh, at least they're doing split screen now...i guess.

Hi there, everyone. I spent the better part of today looking around google for help with activating permalinks. I've looked up and down, on forums and sites and everything, and now, five hours later, I'm still getting a 500 error when I try to activate any structure besides the default ?p=1 and whatnot.
My .htaccess file generates in my host's root folder automatically when I delete it, but my wordpress files aren't in the root directory. Does this have something to do with the issue?
Here's what my .htaccess looks like:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# END WordPress
Pretty standard -- but do I need to change the RewriteBase / or the /index.php, or both to point it to my wordpress files?
Any help would be greatly appreciated guys, I'm nearing the point of no return.

When we Americans celebrate the Fourth of July, what word comes readily to mind? Freedom -- and rightly so. But you can't have freedom without other virtues.
Funeral service for Marlene Francis Taylor Dixon, 81, Lugoff, will be held Monday at 11:00 a.m. at Friendship Baptist Church with burial to follow in Malvern Baptist Church Cemetery, Camden. The Rev. Matt Galloway and Rev. Jimmy Atkerson will officiate. The family will receive friends Monday 10:00-11:00 a.m. prior to the service in the church fellowship hall. Memorials may be made to Friendship Baptist Church, 1056 Hwy 1 South, Lugoff, S.C. 29078.
• Having watched and participated in July Fourth celebrations, we are struck by the same thought that hits us each year on Independence Day: that despite this country's problems, even with the bipartisan wrangling that threatens to upend our political process, considering the economy that is having a hard time gaining traction, the United States is still far and away the greatest country in the world. We join others across Kershaw County in celebrating the magnificent heritage and promising future of the good old U.S. of A.
Congress is hotly debating media leaks about President Barack Obama's "kill list" of terrorists to be targeted by unmanned drones. They should be debating the drone policy itself.
Sanders Stoney Post 203 and Unit 203 sponsored students from Camden High School to attend the 66th Annual Session of Palmetto Boys State and Palmetto Girls State held in Anderson and Clinton, South Carolina which was a weeklong lesson in civics for 1,450 of South Carolina's top high school students. Also, the delegates were eligible to get a head start on their college career and potentially earn college credit hours that could transfer to the university they choose to attend. Pictured here (left to right) are Nierra Coleman; Jarvis Crim; Jazzmine Devlin; and Dre' Dubose. The South Carolina ...

Harris is one of only 125 students nationwide to receive a $1,000 Jon H. Poteat $1,000 scholarship.
Mr. and Mrs. Michael Dean Watson are pleased to announce the engagement of their daughter, Stephanie Anne Nye of Irmo, to John Kennedy DuBose, III of Camden, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Kennedy DuBose, Jr. of Camden.
This is the first year the Hobkirk Hill Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution has given (DAR) scholarships. For the past three years, we have had luncheons to raise money for a high school senior. Members of the DAR and benevolent citizens have contributed enough so that we are able to donate $500 scholarships to the following deserving seniors. These students have shown an interest in preserving history. They have participated in community activities and achieved high academic standards.
Mr. Richard James Tucker, 53, of 706 Calhoun Street, Camden, SC, passed on Wednesday, July 4, 2012.

Haile's Funeral Home is assisting the family.
An outdoor memorial for John Rufus Sanders, Jr. is set for Wednesday, July 11, 2012 at 2119 Camp Lystra Road, Camden, on Lake Wateree. A gathering of friends will begin at 5:30 PM. Service will be at 6:00 PM. Dress casually. Friends may come by land or boat. Call 803-428-5130 for directions.

Re: Closing Accounts[ Edited ]
05-22-2010 08:15 PM - edited 05-22-2010 08:16 PM
Once an account is posted to your CR, its subequent status as open or closed has no effect on inclusion of its aging from the opening date, and thus makes no difference in your AAoA calcuation. Closing an account is not the same as deletion of the account from your credit file. FICO continues to score its age until such time as the entire account is deleted from your credit file, which is normally not until at least 10 years from the date of account closing. By not closing it, you can possibly keep the increasing benefit of its account aging in your CR for many years to com by delaying its closing..
The only substantial reason to close an account in good standing is to avoid payment of annual fees. That is strictly an indiv. choice, based on financial, and not FICO. considerations

South Plains standout bound for Lady Raiders
By DON WILLIAMS
Morris News Service
LUBBOCK - It continues to amaze Aleah Johnson that the flat lands of West Texas can hold a quaint charm for a big-city native. But evidently, they do.
Johnson signed up for two more years of it Wednesday when she officially became a Texas Tech Lady Raider. The 6-foot-1 forward who attended Carrollton Newman Smith High School will follow Sheryl Swoopes and Angie Braziel in transferring from South Plains College to Tech.
The national signing period extends through May 15, but the Lady Raiders do not plan to add any other recruits, head coach Marsha Sharp said.
"I'm still surprised," Johnson said. "I just can't believe that I'm actually going to play for Texas Tech next year. I wanted to stay close to home. This was the only place that was right for me. I never thought I'd stay here this long. I didn't think West Texas was for me."
It turned out, however, to be the launching pad for a brilliant college career. Johnson poured in 23.4 points per game last season, an average that was tops in the Western Junior College Athletic Conference and third in the nation.
She also collected 7.3 rebounds per game, 1.4 steals, 1.0 assist and 1.0 block and was named a Kodak and NJCAA all-American. The Lady Texans went 22-8 and shared a conference championship for the first time in 22 years.
Johnson was a teammate during her freshman season of Braziel, who transferred to Tech last year and became the starting center. Johnson averaged 14.8 points per game her first year.
For better or worse, comparisons between Johnson and departing Tech all-American Alicia Thompson appear inevitable. They are identical not only in height but also in scoring average last season. Thompson hit 23.2 per game.
South Plains coach Lyndon Hardin said Johnson's game is more similar to Thompson's than to Braziel's.
"I'm sure not saying she's the quality of player Alicia is," Hardin said. "But she's got the attributes that can help her become, along those same lines, that type of player."
From a 26-5 team, the Lady Raiders will return not only Braziel but also starting guards Julie Lake, Rene Hanebutt and Melinda Schmucker next season.
Johnson addresses a need for a forward with proven scoring skills.
"We actually wanted to go the junior-college route," Sharp said. "We wanted to bring in some experience that would help give us some offensive power where we lost Thompson."
Hardin said Johnson "has only touched the tip of the iceberg as to what she can get done."
"She's a tremendous athlete," Hardin said. "Her game will improve."
Johnson picked Tech from two finalists. The other was Iowa, but she canceled a trip to Iowa City scheduled for this weekend.
The chance to team up again with Braziel played a role in the decision.
"That was a big factor," Johnson said. "We play well together. I expect a lot of pressure in playing for a program such as Texas Tech, but I handle the pressure pretty good. I feel confident that I can step in and play. I know I have to work hard."
The Lady Raiders in November signed three high school recruits - 6-0 guard Amber Tarr from Ozona, 6-1 post Tanisha Ellison of Alief Elsik and 6-2 center Alison Cudnoski from Monterey. One scholarship will be left open.
"We felt like we wanted to add a little scoring punch, if we could, in the spring and give ourselves a little more depth as well," Sharp said. "Then our team will be complete, and we'll be ready to go."

I have a student credit card right and it's been past due for a very long time, but I just paid off all of my debts last week, so basically I'm just starting to rebuild my credit again.
I'm planning to get a secured credit to build up my credit making me have 2 credit cards. I was just wondering what company to apply for a secured credit card. My score is at 570 right now. Which credit cards flags a secured credit card and which ones dont?
You should try to GW your lates. If it's only one CC, then GW them. Can you come up with an explanation as to why you hadn't been paying? Try searching on here under Goodwill or GW, or post in the rebuilder thread. Generally, you need some kind of a good reason to explain why you didn't pay. And sometimes it takes persistance.
You do need to be approved for a secured card. And I don't know how that would help you right now. You still have your student card, right? Just start using that a little bit and PIF every month. That will likely also help your GW situation since they'll see that you're using your credit responsibly now.
BTW, USAA will only counter for a secured card to FULL members, which means either you are in the military or you have a family member who is or was a member of USAA. Having family in the military who aren't a USAA member does NOT qualify you for full m'ship. They would need to join USAA first. And USAA is a pretty conservative lender. Yes, they give generous CLs, but they are not lenient by any means.

Hi everyone,
I've just returned to WordPress, it's been at least three years since I last really worked with the platform. Unfortunately I am hitting similar issues as I had last time too, despite a completely new version.
Both the site and admin panel are incredibly slow. Everything was fine this morning but I've been working on the site on and off for about 6 hours now and it is now unbearably slow. The thing is, I've only posted content and made a few CSS changes to the template.
- It is a completely clean install from this morning
- There are no plugins installed
- Switching to the default theme does not work
- I've disabled trackback (the trick from the old days)
- I'm hosted on a VPS solution and have Joomla running on the same slice, it runs fast
- There are no error logs on the server
Been Googling for an hour to find solutions and found nothing. Help! :)

Vices and Virtues
The Four Cardinal Virtues
The four cardinal virtues are called natural virtues because they can be achieved by human effort and with grace from God. These virtues govern our actions, what is in our hearts, and our passions.
Prudence is the foremost of the cardinal virtues. According to Thomas Aquinas in his treatise on prudence, " Without the moral virtues there is no prudence". Prudence sets the foundation of all the other virtues.
Justice is another very significant virtue. Justice is the virtue which enables man to give to each own what is due to him (Pieper 44). To be just one must be able to distinguish what is their own is distinct from what belongs to a stranger.
Fortitude is the third of the cardinal virtues. Because it is the third virtue, there is no fortitude without prudence and justice.The early Church believed Christians could acquire fortitude through martyrdom( Pieper 117).
Temperance is the fourth and final cardinal virtue. Aquinas defines this as "serenity of the spirit"( Pieper 147). Temperance is distinguished from the other virtues by the fact that it refers only to the active man himself. While prudence looks to the existent reality, justice to the fellow man and the man who possesses fortitude may give up all that he owns to another, including his life(147).
Three Theological Virtues
Virtues fighting vices, stained glass window (14th century) in the Niederhaslach Church
There are three other theological virtues that were added to the cardinal virtues by Christianity. These are faith, hope, and love. The Apostle Paul distinguished these three as the specific Christian virtues. He emphasized love as the greatest of these. " So faith, hope, love abide these three; but the greatest of these is love( 1 Corinthians 13:13). According to Christian teaching, these three theological virtues do not originate from the natural man. They are imparted by God through Jesus Christ and then are practiced by those who believe.
The Four Cardinal Vices
There are four cardinal vices. These are pride, envy, anger or wrath, avarice or greed. These are considered the worst of all the sins. Like the cardinal virtues, cardinal sins hinge on all other sins. These vices have been used to educate Christians on humanity's tendency to sin.
Pride is the first of the four cardinal vices. It is the father of all other sins or vices. The Bible puts repeated emphasis on pride as having its roots in self-centeredness. It is not only the worst sin but it leads to every other sin from which no one is free. For example, man can overcome envy, anger, and even greed but who can say that he has rid himself of pride.
Pride is first seen in the third chapter of Genesis, in the story of Adam and Eve. Man was made to go God's way but had a tendency to go his own way because of pride. They put themselves in the place of God, by setting themselves at the center of their world.
Aquinas said that every sinful act proceeds from an inordinate desire for some temporal good. The fact that one deserves a temporal good inordinately is due to the fact that he loves himself inordinately.
Envy or jealousy is the third cardinal vice. It is a resentment of others and their possessions. According to Dante, envy is love of one's own good perverted to a desire to deprive other men of theirs. Envy comes from the feeling of inequality. An envious man compares himself to others. If he feels he should have the same abilities or possessions of another man, and he feels inadequate he becomes envious or jealous. An example of envy can be found in the story of Saul and David in 1 Sammuel 18.
Anger is probably the most common sin. It is the first perversion in human nature to show itself. We can see anger in babies even before they can talk. Anger is the cause of other sins, from gossip to murder. An English Bishop once said that the control of temper is nine tenths of Christianity.
Avarice or greed is a sin of excess. It is a desire to have more than what you need. It can be a desire for food, money, and power. Aquinas wrote that avarice is a sin against God, just as all mortal sins, in as much as man condemns things eternal for the sake of temporal things.
Article Analysis for Title: Augustine on the Unity and the Interconnection of the Virtues
Author(s): John P. Langan
Source: The Harvard Theological Review, Vol. 72, No. 1/2 (Jan. - Apr., 1979), pp. 81-95
Publisher(s): Cambridge University Press on behalf of the Harvard Divinity School
Stable URL: http://www.jstor.org/stable/1509676
Focus- The author argues that virtues are not necessarily interconnected.
|Unity of Virtues
|Interconnection of Virtues
|There are many virtues not just one.
Every person lacks all virtues
Virtues cannot occur alone, that is they are inseparable on the level of ideas or forms (86).
|Every person that lacks some virtue lacks all virtue.
What Augustine's point obscures is that the doctrine of the interconnection of the virtues requires us to deny that a virtue is really present even when the actions of the person in question actually meet all the criteria of the virtue in question.
Speaks of the virtue possessed by the person rather than the individual who possesses the virtue.
Article Analysis for Title: Aquinas and Dōgen and Virtues
Author(s): Douglas K. Mikkelson

Publisher(s): University of Hawai'i Press
Stable URL: http://www.jstor.org/stable/4487987
Focus: The author argues how Dogen's treatment of the virtue list inherited from the Buddhist tradition contrast how Aquinas handled his classical and Christian legacy. Aquinas established a heirarchy of virtues; at the very top was caritas(charity) which others are connected. In contradistinction, Dogen handles his legacy differently, establishing the virtue of karuna(compassion) not at the top of a heirarchy but within all the others.
Implications: After reading this article, I think it would be interesting to see how other religions view the cardinal virtues.
Article Analysis for Pieper,Josef.The Four Cardinal Virtues.Notre Dame,Indiana: Harcourt, Brace & World,Inc., 1964. Print.
Focus: Pieper give us his definition of the four cardinal sins. He argues that prudence looks to existent reality; justice to the fellow man; fortitude relinquishes in self-forgetfulness, his own possessions and his life. Temperance on the other hand.

This quilt is colorful, too colorful for me. I hoped for a summer quilt of orange and pinks but this also has a lot or red and yellow and looks like a riot of color. Not for me. The photo didn't show all the colors. I waited 2 years for this to be Available only to be disappointed. I'm returning it and hopefully some girl, tween or teen or gen xer will think it's amaaazing.
Makes me smile every time I look at this bedspread. Well made, nice quality material.
I ordered this for a guest room, and we love it. The colors are perfect for the room, and the quality is excellent. It's also reversible, and washes really well.
Very colorful and all cotton which is increasingly rate.
The colors were just as bright as the pictures portrayed. My daughter love all the colors in the girls room!
Ranges more to the pink than I thought, but I am delighted by the look on my bunk beds. A bright spot for grey winter days-
A light weight quilt is a great solution for Southern winter weather. I bought both the pink/orange and the blue/green quilts (reversible, too) for my grandkids. The colors pop, the workmanship is great, the price was outstanding and they provide just the right amount of warmth for little bodies. So glad to have found them on Overstock 'cause I looked around quite a bit. P.S.-They washed up (always wash linens before use) just fine in my non-agitator washer, dried on low and the colors didn't fade non the material shrink. Great buy.
This quilt is very well made and exactly what I was looking for. It washes beautifully. The colors are as bright as shown online.
Great weight. good quality. Overstock rocks. Came in 2 days.
I got this clover for my daughter she loves the colors they are bright and playful. The cover is comfortable and soft. You can math this cover with many different colors that is why I got it. I have green carpeting in the room and it looks great with it. Easy to was as well.
Colors are true to the image and it brightened up the room immediately.
This is a great quilt set. The shams are really nicely made. Colors are great: hot pink, cantaloupe, a light rusty orange color. Nothing too vibrant but very colorful.
Good Quality, nice and heavy material. Nice Bright Colors, good for summer
This was for our daughter's room (who is away at college) her walls are painted Lime Sorbet, a very light lime and this quiilt is absolutely PERFECT! So all the accessories are either fushia or lime and I wanted to bring in hints of tangerine which I love with fushia...this did the trick. Truely, looks better in person! Great buy;)
Adds warmth and color to bedroom The quilt has many color combinations that one could add decor too
It is beautiful and vibrant also warm and comfortable. I love it! It makes me happy to walk into the room and see how bright and warm it makes the room feel.
The colors are exactly as shown. My daughter loves it and it looks great on her bed. The quilt and shams are well made and good quality. I'm extremely happy with the purchase.
Perfect size, (QUEEN). Good quality. Beautiful colors. It really brightens the room! I definitly would recommend this quilt.
Purchased this not knowing if it would be as nice as shown due to the low price. Am very pleased with the appearance and quality. Though not a heavy quilt, it's quite lovely and the colors are very pretty. I used this in a guest bedroom wanting to make it kind of a beach-like decor and with the white cottage style headboard and white contemporary chair both purchased through Overstock, it looks great. I added several "beachy" accessories and it turned out to be a nice, bright room on these dreary, winter days.
The colors are awesome! It's a very nice quality quilt! My daughter loves it!

Raspberry-Almond Linzer Cookies
- ⅔ cup almonds
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled, plus more for the work surface
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
- 1 12-ounce jar raspberry jam
- Heat oven to 350° F. Spread the almonds on a baking sheet and toast, tossing occasionally, until fragrant, 6 to 8 minutes; let cool.
- In a food processor, process the almonds and ¼ cup of the brown sugar until the almonds are finely ground.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and the remaining ¼ cup brown sugar on medium-high speed until fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Reduce speed to low and gradually add the almond mixture, then the flour mixture, mixing until just combined (do not overmix).
- Divide the dough in half, shape into two disks, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate until firm, at least 3 hours.
- Heat oven to 350° F. On a lightly-floured surface, roll out each piece of dough to a ⅛-inch thickness. Using a 2- to 2 ½-inch round cookie cutter, cut the dough into rounds and place on parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing them 1 inch apart. Using a ¾- to 1-inch round cookie cutter, cut out the centers from half of the cookies. Reroll and cut the scraps as necessary.
- Bake, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until the edges are golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool slightly on the baking sheets, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
- Sprinkle the confectioners' sugar on the cookies with the holes. Spread 1 teaspoon jam on the remaining cookies and top with the sugared cookies. Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

The Latest Person to 'Seriously Consider' a Run Against Kirsten Gillibrand Is Dan Senor
We don't really buy it, but okay.
Dan Senor, better known as the husband of CNN's Campbell Brown, is being wooed by state and national Republican leaders, such as Rudy Giuliani, to jump into the race against Kirsten Gillibrand. Though Senor is reportedly "seriously considering" running, and taking steps to make it happen, we've also heard that about 50 times before from other prospective candidates who eventually decided against it, and we no longer believe anything anybody says.
In fact, for someone considered to be such a weak candidate, Gillibrand has yet to attract an opponent that has even a decent shot at defeating her. But the GOP hopes Senor a former adviser to a Michigan senator and founder of an investment firm can appeal to the electorate as a fiscal conservative and social moderate. He has foreign-policy experience, too, but it may not be the type that plays well in New York: He was the chief spokesman for the Coalition Provisional Authority, the governing body that controlled Iraq after the 2003 invasion. We suspect most people won't remember what the CPA was, but the Gillibrand campaign has graciously volunteered to remind them, especially the part about George W. Bush.

How can I set Media Player Classic so that new instances of the player are opened when a new file is opened. Right now, the newly opened video starts playing in the already opened instance.
In the menu go to view->options->player
I've checked this on MPC-HC 1.4, but it should be true to other version including the non HC.
