Within a month, the refrigerator handles and some of the cabinet pulls began to peel. Not normal wear and tear, the finish was peeling off.
I was told to simply order new pulls, then ship back the defective ones and my money would be refunded.
The new pulls came. Although they were the same finish, they didn't match the previous order at all, but Myknobs refused help other than to say I should order, pay, and return the ones I didn't want.
By the time my contractor was able to reinstall my refrigerator handles - a cost which I will have to pay out of my own pocket, most of the other pulls had started to peel.
I told MyKnobs I wanted to return all of the pulls, rather than repeatedly order, pay, install, and return piece by piece. They said they would have to call the manufacturer and get back to me.
Several days later they returned my call and said they were shipping me two more cabinet pulls. I had the entire conversation all over again, and will have to wait several more days for someone to call me back.

I received my gorgeous pink spotted Joules Women's Millie Wellies last week. I have previously had Hunters but find the Joules ones to be more flexible and hence more comfy to walk in. A good quality product at an excellent price. Highly recommend.

So I assured her that their wasn't any problem and that I would personally contact Horizon Technologies and and get her on board. She had already paid for the unit and service, but was never activated.
When I started calling all of the business numbers all I got was answering machines to all of the numbers that I have. I went on line and all of my websites were gone, as well as my on line offices for Millennium Plus.
I have been a franchise distributor for Millennium Plus for two years and have never had a problem with the company. I have invested what I call a small fortune, and have sold a few units over the last two years.
My customer actually contacted another business in the same building as Horizon Technologies and they said that Horizon Technologies had moved out of the building the previous Friday. This was during the first week of Feburary, 2009.
They took money out of my account after the close of business, as well as several customers that they knew would never recieve service anymore. And my new GPS customers that are stuck with an expensive GPS unit that they can't use. What we need now is to find an Erin Brockavich and get on board with a class action suit.

Alpine snowboarding
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|It has been suggested that this article be merged with Snowboarding. (Discuss) Proposed since September 2014.
Alpine snowboarding is a discipline within the sport of snowboarding.[1] It is practised on groomed pistes. It has been an Olympic event since 1998.
Alpine snowboarding shares more visual similarities with skiing equipment than it does with snowboarding equipment.[2] Compared to freestyle snowboarding gear:[3]
- boards are narrower, longer, and stiffer to improve carving performance
- boots are made from a hard plastic shell
- bindings have a bail or step-in design and are sometimes placed on suspension plates to provide a layer of isolation between an alpine snowboarder and the board

I assume you meant in the comments, but yeah not sure theriot should be playing ss when marquis pitches, probably not Z either.
not like I'm the first to think it though as I mentioned.
Joe C, what are you talking
Joe C, what are you talking about? Theriot has had a great game so far on the defensive side. He turned a good double play and made an amazing save on that Eckstein ball. He missed the ball on the Molina hit when Soriano threw out Edmonds at the plate.
Great game so far--2 outfield assists and my boy Pie hits a homer! I love that kid! He makes me excited to watch the Cubs every day. For the first time in many years I am excited to watch every game (win or lose) when Soriano, Lee, Theriot, and Pie are all in the lineup. I could care less who is in right!!!
the lineup is likely righty
the lineup is likely righty heavy because Reyes has posted a .322 avg against vs righties this year. .220 vs lefties.

fantastic start to the weekend, let's keep it going! it's pirates-nats-pirates after this.
favorite part of tonight: len kasper mentioned the pythagorean theory of baseball! cubs are in fine shape.
Pie, nice homer tonite

Like the lineup, like the outcome. Dempster did a real nice job and a clutch performance getting out of the huge jam Cotts left him in. Pie hit a couple balls on the nose and Marquis did another nice job. Getting Fonzie in the home run column will help me sleep a little better at night however. Hopefully Z can make my visit to Buschy worth the while tomorrow.
How about Dempster's tailing
How about Dempster's tailing inside fastball for a called third strike against Spezio to end the 8th inning -- right after Spezio had just yanked a ball just wide of the right field foul pole.
Gutsy pitch.
I agree with Kaspar: that's the best save I've ever seen out of Dempster.

Wee. This one was the sweetest win yet. I love to see Marquis beat the old club and beat Reyes.
You know Marquis must love it, too, after Poop-hole's comments about him just being lucky. Yeah, lucked his way into a 2-0 record against the Cards this year.
Nice to see Soriano finally getting some good swings on the ball. No homer, but he's not missing entirely. He did swing at one in the dirt, but besides that didn't look entirely lost. That's better than the first stretch he had this year.
They were definetly on the

How about Dempster's tailing inside fastball for a called third strike against Spezio
I know what Brenley said, but it looked like a circle-change to me. It was 83 MPH, I think. I'd hope his 2-seamer would hit at least 88-89. Either way, it worked. Demp looked confident.
Ryan Harvey's season finally
Ryan Harvey's season finally started tonight with Daytona. Played DH. 2 singles in 3 at bats and a walk. Also picked off third by the catcher.

"Did anyone else notice the "greatest baseball fans in the world" doing the wave during the top of the 8th? What a bunch of d-sippers. "
I noticed that too and I don't know what a d-sipper is but I'm with you. The wave sucks.
What's a d-sipper? I like the term I want to use it in the future.
D-sipper is a "radio
D-sipper is a "radio friendly" way of saying c**k sucker. Ron Bennington came up with it a few weeks ago. If you have the XM radio, you should definitely check out the Ron & Fez show. You'd get a kick out of it. Best thing on the radio since mid-80's Steve and Gary.
BTW, I've seen enough.
BTW, I've seen enough. Felix Pie is ready to play CF everyday until he moves to right for the remainder of his career. I love this kid! I'm about to go to Oprah and go Tom Cruise talking about how much I love this kid.

Rynox - very well could have been a change up. whatever it was about had me fall off the couch in astonishment.

BTW, I've seen enough. Felix Pie is ready to play CF everyday until he moves to right for the remainder of his career. I love this kid! I'm about to go to Oprah and go Tom Cruise talking about how much I love this kid.
I agree. I especially love that he was just about rounding second base when he noticed that he had hit his first major league home run.
Nice to see the Cubs string
Nice to see the Cubs string two wins together.
Cotts seemed well on his well to shutting the door before one got away from him and hit what's-his-names button.
I was horrified to see Lou bring in Ohman. I'd just like to see him remain on mop up duty for another outing or two before he's trusted with any thing. Wuertz wasn't exactly rockin and rollin tonight, but I'd love to see him be the first line of defense when things start to get out of control even if it is to get a few outs in the 7th.
Izturis came up big late. I think that's the last that'll be said, but it's true. Even with all of the adventures at SS tonight, I'm still hoping to see Theriot get the bulk of the starts there for the next 10 games or so...that is unless his bat cools off.
Dempster was huge. Nice W.
I don't think that was a
I don't think that was a change. You can't get late tail like that on a change.
I thought it was a two-seamer. BB called it a back-up splitty, which is feasible and a pitch in the Dempster arsenal. I dunno if he even throws a two-seamer. Maybe he just took a little off of it.
That, and the gun could have been wrong, which seems to happen a lot.
Tip of the (CURVED) brim to
Tip of the (CURVED) brim to Izzy tonight.
Finally a hit with a RISP. YES!
Maybe he needs the competition to get better? In any case, it seems like Lou will try this late inning defensive replacement thing and then Izzy can bat as a LH with a righty pitching from the "bump".
So, w/a RH in Wainright, what's the lineup tomorrow?
Uncle Cliff or JJones in RF?
"BB called it a back-up

How is this pitch thrown, physically?

"So, w/a RH in Wainright, what's the lineup tomorrow?
Uncle Cliff or JJones in RF?"
It'd be tough to sit Floyd just coming off of a 4 for 5 outing hitting a few loose pennies below .300. But you gotta think if he does sit Jones for a second straight day, there won't be any peace in that valley.
#41, Maddux made a a career
Maddux made a a career on this pitch and actually Z throws one too.
It's a two seam grip but when you throw it you put the pressure on your index finger and turn your hand outwards. To give you an idea, hold your hand out palm down and while holding your fingers extended, make a Ebert style thumbs down.
Ok, Wes, I'm not going to
Ok, Wes, I'm not going to pretend to be a pitching expert, I just know 2-seamers and circle changes go to the right and everything else either goes left or down and it seemed too soft to be a 2-seamer. :)
Okay, now can someone go to the Cards blog and taunt them? Ask them how the sweep is coming along or something? I would, but I try to be the non-confrontational type.
Len and Bob were all but
Len and Bob were all but saying they expect Murton to be sent down when Guzman comes up. Who do you think we'll be shipped down?
I wish there was a way they could make it Cedeno but can you roll with only one back up infielder?
I think the invasion has
I think the invasion has already settled. Time for Joshie to clean it up.
When you throw what guys
When you throw what guys call a "back-up" breaking pitch, it's technically a hanger. Similar to what you hear talked about when a guy throws a back-up (or a cement mixer) slider. If those are in the zone, they get creamed. Reyes threw a couple of those tonight, but they were way up and in.
Demp's would not have been a very good pitch had it started on the inner part of the plate and worked back out into the middle. Speizio probably would have made it go boom.
I think Demp intended it to be a splitter and to keep that pitch inside and hope that he swung at it. BB was talking about pitches that you a hope a guy swings at. I think that was intended to be one of those. He took it, and because it was a hanger, it didn't sink and just rode up there over the inside corner for a called strike three.
"Okay, now can someone go to
"Okay, now can someone go to the Cards blog and taunt them?"
Funny. It's the only way he'll see any action over there. Doesn't "freelance" = unemployed sometimes?
Or, as Chad said, it was in
Or, as Chad said, it was in fact just a two seamer. I'd have to go back and watch it again to see if he had a two seam grip or a splitfinger grip on it.
"I don't think that was a
"I don't think that was a change. You can't get late tail like that on a change."
Sure you can. Circle grip so most of the pressure is on the left side of the ball as it comes out of your hand. I don't know for sure if that's what the pitch was, but circle changes can definitely have that much movement.
So both Demp & Duncan
So both Demp & Duncan screwed up. Demp was supposed to throw it out of the zone, Duncan was supposed to swing at it. I don't doubt you, but I find that funny.
Len and Bob were all but saying they expect Murton to be sent down when Guzman comes up. Who do you think we'll be shipped down?
Won't Gooz be replacing Miller? Miller will be cut loose (I don't know the technical term, roster moves are still very mysterious to me). Outrighted? Bought out? I have no idea.
"Okay, now can someone go
"Okay, now can someone go to the Cards blog and taunt them?"
I thought about it, but decided I didn't want to talk to myself.
To paraphrase that old unanswerable riddle: If a Cardinals fan writes a blog and no one's around to read it, does it actually exist?
OK, I love Z and all but I'm
OK, I love Z and all but I'm watching Baseball tonight and how about this, Z for Arod. This assumes that new deals are already worked out.
Just a thought. Not advocating it, but just a thought.

I'm thinking Rocky Cherry (what a name) took that roster spot. Since Pinella insists on 12 pitchers the writing is on the wall for a position player to be sent packing?
Doug, You can't get a
You can't get a change to do what that pitch did. I understand that changes and circle-changes, in particular, can move away from lefties for a right-handed pitcher. But not like that.
The more I think about it, I think it was a two-seamer. BB was wrong about the back-up splitty I believe. I guess I don't know for sure. I never threw a splitter.

Ok, it should probably be an OF then, since Derosa can play RF in a crunch. Seems a shame to send Murt down, but Pie being left handed, playing good D, and the HR tonight all but gave him a permanent locker at the Wrigley clubhouse. That burns Murt's final option, I believe. That will hurt his trade value, if so.
If so, and assuming Floyd
If so, and assuming Floyd gets the majority of the starts in RF, our bench would be (assuming tonight's lineup):
It is 2 LH, 2 RH, and a switch, but only one of them is hitting their weight right now, and I promise Ward's not hitting .325.
that's 2 left-handers and 3
that's 2 left-handers and 3 pieces of worthlessness.
If the Cubs send Murton down, well I hope Lou and Hendry don't read TCR. That would be the height of stupidity.
Dempster's pitch looked exactly like what Z and Maddux throw, can't imagine where he picked that up.
I guess Lou already had
I guess Lou already had Ohman up, but no idea why he was brought in to turn Miles around. I just would have went with Wuertz there.
As for Wuertz, he's the one who mucked up the 8th, although Cotts certainly didn't help.
And Dempster was 3 inches from blowing the game, but about time we caught some breaks.
Should have squeezed with Pie in the 9th and Murton on 3rd, but Izturis picked him up.
Well-played game though for the most part....
Someone needs to tell Carlos

This seems to also wave a flag that Pie is up for good-- though there seems to be little doubt about that anyway.
I'm guess this makes the Iowa OF:
Walker, LF
Pagan, CF
Coats, RF
With Moore, Hoffpauir, and Fontenot seeing time there as well.
I don't see how they'd expect Pie to fit back into that crowded OF-- he fits better into the crowded OF at the ML-level.
And it will be good to see if Walker, 26, is actually a prospect or not.
The Chris Walker move
The Chris Walker move solidifies Pie's place on this team.

favorite part of tonight: len kasper mentioned the pythagorean theory of baseball! cubs are in fine shape.
Not only that, but for those keeping track, with the win over the Cards last night, the Cubs now hold the MLB "TV Title". Bask in the glory fellow Cub fans!
How can the Cubs justify

Did anyone see the postgame interview where LaRussa got into it with the St Louis Dispatch reporter?
Classic, Captain Mullet was displeased with this article-
After the game he said he would not answer any Post-Dispatch questions and got into it with the Post-Dispatch reporter.
The video is at ESPN.com under baseball, the Larussa sorta squared off with the guy until the guy stood up.
It had to be the largest reporter I have ever seen, 6'5'" and about 350 lbs. Not making this up.

can't say i agree about
can't say i agree about squeezing with Pie....his bunting skills looked pretty ugly the other night against the brewcrew on the play where estraded got pummelled by fat fielder.
bringing ohman in last night was pretty outrageous, as was bringing in cotts after that. although why larussa would rather see taguchi over edmonds, even against a lefty, and even with edmonds not what he used to be, is beyond me. cards got very lucky so was hit bc he looked quite lost. start and end that inning with wuertz, with howry/cotts as your other options.
btw, on the other cards blog i know, vivaelbirdos, they're panicking about eckstein, how he's done. pretty funny that the rest of baseball thinks he's a god bc he had two good world series games.....idiots.
reading that other cards
reading that other cards blog makes me grateful to have TCR, where the writers make interesting/insightful points, don't say "we" when referring to their team, and compose artful sentences with, you know, um, verbs.
let's get it moving Z. it's close enough to may to just move on.
I agree with whoever it was
I agree with whoever it was above that said having both Cedeno and Izturis on the roster is a total waste. I agree. Neither can hit worth a shit. You want a 25th man middle infield glove, fine, but the Cubs don't need two of them.
Either send Cedeno to Iowa where he belongs, or move Izturis somewhere. Preferably, anywhere.
I also don't see the point of having fat Daryl Ward around when you already have Floyd and Jones. He's only getting a million fer chrissakes, DFA him if need be. Or move Jones, either one is fine by me.
Zambrano better fucken sack it up for once. Here's a tip Carlos--try throwing a goddamn strike this game. Ask Marquis and Lilly; it works.

I actually think that LaRussa did a very classy thing to not answer that guy's questions. And I don't say things like that about him a lot.
I don't care who you are, what team you play for/manage, what what team is your rival, or what newspaper prints something like that. that's just not a good thing to do to take a cheap shot. It upsets the baseball gods.

Here's why Demp was brought in for the 8th...from ESPN.com
Piniella extended Dempster because he had three days' rest and because set-up man Bobby Howry tweaked his back moving his barbecue grill off his patio.

I too thought that LaRussa
I too thought that LaRussa did a classy thing last night. He seemed really pissed about the whole thing. I live in St. Louis and articles like yesterday's about the Cubs, is the reason I no longer subscribe to the post. I believe the guy who stood up and got in LaRussa's face was Bernie "Fatass" Milkasz and I don't think I spelled it right. Anyway, they would rather make fun of the Cubs than analyze the baseball game and it's rather sad.
Saw the LaRussa video, and
Saw the LaRussa video, and it was an impressive confrontation. Basically he's protecting his team from stupid bulletin board fodder but he certainly was in the right to hold his ground when the media gets stoopid. The Tinkers to Evers piece was an extremely lame attempt at parody. I wonder how Dusty would have reacted/handled such stuff if it was a chicago press article. Lou might have been even more entertaining than LaRussa.
here's the Tribune link
here's the Tribune link showing that the Cubs were using the Post-Dispatch as bulletin board fodder:
loved the LouPa reference to the 7 "fountains" of Rome
on the field > in the press
on the field > in the press room
1. Re Friday's little poem
1. Re Friday's little poem in the St. Louis Post Dispatch, if you go don't win a World Series for 100 years, your rivals get to take shots at you I guess. However, I expect LaRussa was not to happy about the display of cockiness and arrogance at the beginning of a weekend series with the arch rivals, especially as he is aware of how thin the Cardinals talent has become this season as the result of injuries, age, defections, and a farm system that is now even slightly worse then the Cubs' system.
2. Speaking of the Cubs system, Pie may be the first real, full time major league position player with star potential the system has signed and developed since Mark Grace (Murton, drafted by Boston, and traded at the AA level, was not signed by the Cubs and his basic development was done by the Red Sox). And perhaps Theriot will be a good regular or, like Chone Figgins and Ryan Freel, star as a super-sub. However, there is not much behind them, especially in the way of infielders and catchers. Hence the need to sign players like DeRosa and Soriano. The Hendry/McPhail regime's inability to develop position players is one of the the principal failures of their regime, continuing a tradition that, except for the Dallas Greene interregnum, has been a constant in Cub history during the post-1965 draft era. A related failure is the constant undervaluing of strike zone judgment, usually manifested in a high OBP, as a talent while overvaluing pure speed and athleticism (called the "looking good in jeans syndrome"). Finally, the third principal failure is the arrogance, dishonesty and stupidity in taking care of the health of their young pitchers (not just Prior and Wood, as 2003-2004 saw the destruction of arms at every level in the organization).
3. Given the cows' ear the Cubs had become by the end of last year, the Cubs had no choice but to spend lots of money just to hope to be competitive. Lilly and Marquis, besides being established innings eaters, also had something that has been sorely missing in these parts, durability. They are both the past the danger zone, and especially in Lilly's case as a crafty lefthander, may be reaching their peaks. A year ago at this time we were sending Glendon Rusch and Jerome Williams out to take these starts. Enough said. Regarding the outfield, given the pathetic outfields of the last three seasons, we now have one that is overflowing in talent (which also makes this the best bench we have had since - well no Cubs team that I can recall had a bench this good going back to 1965 (my living memory). Shifting Soriano to left and putting Pie in center improves the outfield defense to above average. As sluggers this group is still under performing, but eventually their will be a regression to the mean and this group will produce.
4. I expect if a player is going to be sent down now, it will be Cedeno, who any way needs regular plate appearances if he is going to become a useful player (or prove that he can't be better than AAAA). Murton will not be sent down as he can platoon with Floyd/Jones in right and he has established himself as a good major league player. Eventually, someone will be traded (I know most folks hope it will be Jones, but Murton and Floyd have more value).
5. The Cubs had lost all of their close games until last night as everyone on this blog is painfully aware. Some of that is just bad luck. And unfortunately the past bad luck does not mean that they will have good luck tomorrow (see "gambler's fallacy). But it also indicates, as did Cleveland's poor record in close games last year, that the Cubs have a poorly performing bullpen (in this case Ohman, Eyre, and Howry) and a poor defense. An additional burden, which Cleveland did not have, is this as a low OBP team, the offense disappears when they get seven or eight hits or less and none are home runs. Hopefully, Pie in center/Soriano in left will improve the outfield defense, Theriot in the line-up improves OBP (Although I note from last night's box score in 12 plate appearances, the first three guys in the line-up only got on base (Lee's double and Soriano's single) twice.) If Theriot/DeRosa/Ramirez just make the routine plays and avoid errors by trying to do what they cannot do on the infield, the Cubs can live with that mediocre infield defense for the time being.
5. With his free agency pending, trading Barrett and one of the extra outfielders for a defensive oriented catcher, bullpen help, and a fifth starter might make a big difference.
Soriano showed a lot more
Soriano showed a lot more patience last year here in D.C. with the Nats. The greater patience also helped is power stats since when he got ahead in the counts he could sit on fast balls. However, I noticed in September of last year, when he trying to hard to become a 50 home run, 50 stolen base guy, he expanded his strike zone and both his power and his OBP declined sharply. Hopefully, going back to left will let him take some of the pressure off himself and not try to hit home runs on the first pitch he sees.

2nd in defensive WAR, NL.

Go complain about something else, like, "they never play good against the good teams", or some other shit.
Addy really has trouble breaking through .250 BA -- after his hot streak got him to .251, he has gone 1-for-17.
Thank goodness for Jansen's 2 WP on Friday -- otherwise this would have been a sweep.
There seems to be a direct correlation with overconfidence in the Cubs offense against mediocre/young pitchers and really poor offense against mediocre/young pitchers. So, let's fear the Pirate pitchers!
Rizzo due for a power surge -- one HR in August so far. He truly does hit them in bunches.
Sometimes I'm not as supportive of Cahill as maybe I should be. There, I said it.
Rough 8th inning all around -- HBP, Cahill error, Javy's poor decision.
Oh well - given that the Cubs didn't look like they were going to score, it's better to lose in 9 innings, save the bullpen and get changed for the PJ trip home.
Baez still learning
heyward with his 3rd multi-hit game since the all-star break (all in august)...2nd in the past 3 games during his 7 game hitting streak.
he's gone from flirting with a sub-.300 ob% to nearing .310 ob% in 3 games (1 game was just a 1 for 1 pinch hit appearance). all 5 hits in the past 3 games have come in a row...neat.
stewart with 7Ks through 3ip...of course.
that 10-13 mph difference in his fastball/change is working today...and they're swinging at his crappy slider.
brock stewart...steven brault...fun times for the cubs hitters vs allegedly competitive teams...maybe.
Maddon would have started three lefties against the Dodgers, Montgomery, Zastryzny and Lester, except that he doesn't have the juice to do that. No manager does. Maddon has a boss, Epstein (and probably Hoyer, too), who gave him a starting rotation of five guys including Hammel. Maddon was asked yesterday about the starting group for next year and basically said, Not my call, that's why I drive away in my RV in the summer and occasionally check in, etc.
video of Maddon.
always nice that he actually tries to honestly answer questions. Does mention that he wanted to give Zastr? a chance in a meaningful spot rather than a mop-up role.
from Muskat:
#Cubs Maddon: "I'm not going to make up an excuse for why I did what I did. It has nothing to do with lack of confidence" ... "It was the right thing to do today based on what I saw, what their lineup looked like and Rob Z.'s availability." #Cubs
Hammel not particularly understanding of getting pulled out...as he should. Be curious what Maddon had to say. All I can think of is is keeping arms fresh and maybe wanting to see if Zastr? is worth considering for the playoffs and how he'd do against the Dodgers.
great defense
Heyward, Russell, Baez, Bryant, Ross in particular...although Bryant's a bit hard to judge with all the positions.
Fowler and Rizzo in the top half of the NL for their positions as well (per fangraphs)...Zobrist right at the halfway cutoff for 2b in the NL.
I'm sure some luck is involved too, but the Cubs and Maddon knew what they were doing.

Lucas Matthysse Hopes To One Day Fight Brandon Rios
By Chris Robinson
On Saturday night, Argentina's Lucas Matthysse will set foot inside of the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas for his 36th professional boxing match.
Having clamored for a fight with WBA/WBC junior welterweight champion Danny Garcia for quite some time, Matthysse (32-2, 30 KO's) instead sets his sights on the capable Mike Dallas Jr. (19-2-1, 8 KO's) in a Showtime-televised attraction while holding on to the hope that bigger fights still await him.
Following his hotly-contested split-decision loss to Devon Alexander in June of 2011, a fight many had him winning, the 30-year old Matthysse has put together a four fight winning-streak, looking especially effective in his two most recent stoppages over Humberto Soto and Ajose Olusegun.
Speaking to members of the press inside of the Long Life Fit Gym ahead of the Dallas clash, Matthysse seems pleased with his progression as a fighter.
"I feel really good," he claimed. "I'm improving every day. I'm stronger. I'm getting better. I feel very good with what I'm doing right now."
On Wednesday morning, as reported by BoxingScene.com, Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer expressed interest in matching Matthysse with his countryman Marcos Maidana.
Such a fight would surely be mouth-watering to fans, yet Matthysse was quick with his answer when asked if he would prefer to face Maidana or Garcia next.
"Danny Garcia," Matthysse stated through translator Oscar Gonzalez. "Because he's a world champion and I'm the interim champion and I would like to fight him."
Garcia is presently lined up with a February 9th assignment against former two-division champion Zab Judah, the man responsible for handing Matthysse his first professional defeat.
Matthysse didn't have much to say about the matchup, but he does like the champion from Philadelphia to emerge victorious, noting "I think that Garcia is going to win."
When eyeing the 140-pound landscape, there is no denying the presence of former lightweight king Brandon 'Bam Bam' Rios, who has expressed his interest in a meeting with Matthysse and anyone else worth fighting in the weight class.
The two men actually crossed paths a few years back in Southern California and Matthysse too expressed his interest in a Rios duel.
"About two years ago I sparred at Robert Garcia's boxing gym in Oxnard and I remember that," Matthysse recalled of their session. "I wouldn't mind fighting Brandon Rios."
The only problem with such a scenario is that Golden Boy, who promotes Matthysse, and Top Rank, who oversees the career of Rios, are presently in the midst of a feud that has seen them doing no real business with one another.
Matthysse is fully aware of the cold war taking place but doesn't let it dampen his enthusiasm.
"I know the situation, what's going on between the companies, but I hope maybe one day that could happen," he stated.

Simple Green: Bake Things Together
It's easy. Bake things together.
There is no such thing as "canned pumpkin" in our world (call us crazy), so instead we've been baking a lot of winter squashes and sweet potatoes to make purees for breads, pies, and even cookies.
The charm of this is that all these healthy veggies can be cooked at about the same temperature for about the same amount of time, and used for myriad purposes (use half of that baked squash for a pie, and half for your weeknight dinners). Twice-baked potatoes, sweet potato casserole, roasted butternut squash... all great seasonal sides that can be prepared all at once in the oven.
We have two cakes to prepare, too, and we're going to make sure that the recipes have the same baking temperature. Promise someone you'll bring dessert and a side? The same goes for making a pie and a casserole.
With more coordination, we've learned how to bake things together and then freeze what we don't need right away. The efficiency helps in many ways: it alleviates stress, encourages even more planning, and makes final prep that much faster.
So, spend a few extra minutes coordinating your oven temperatures, and you'll save hours baking—not to mention, save all that energy!

Lexar XQD and Error Message D4

Hi Joe,
Sorry to hear of your problem.
Have you tried using CF cards?
If so, do they work or do you get an error message with the CF cards as well?
Best Regards,
#3. "RE: Lexar XQD and Error Message D4" | In response to Reply # 0
Check the XQD slot - since it sounds like you are using more than one XQD card, and that they both work in another camera, I'd guess that you have something wrong with your XQD slot. A good guess is that you have a bent pin, but it's far from the only possibility.

Alaska Laws on Workplace Drug Testing
Can employees and applicants be required to take a drug test in Alaska?
If your Alaska employer or prospective employer has asked you to take a drug test, you'll want to know your legal rights. Federal law places few limits on employer drug testing: Although the federal government requires testing by employers in a few safety-sensitive industries (including transportation, aviation, and contractors with NASA and the Department of Defense), federal law doesn't otherwise require – or prohibit drug tests. For the most part, this area is regulated by state and local laws.
Like many other states, Alaska has laws that allow drug testing in certain situations, as long as the employer follows the procedural rules.
Rules for Job Applicants in Alaska
Alaska employers may test job applicants for any job-related purpose, consistent with business necessity and the terms of the employer's policy. An employer may decide not to hire an applicant who refuses to take a drug test.
Rules for Alaska Employees
Alaska employers are allowed, but not required, to drug test employees. As for applicants, testing is allowed for any job-related purpose consistent with business necessity, including:
- to maintain productivity, safety, quality, or security
- as part of an accident investigation or an investigation of possible employee impairment, or
- on reasonable suspicion of drug use.
In addition, employers may conduct random drug testing.
Notice and Procedural Rights for Employees
An employer that conducts drug testing must adopt and distribute a written drug test policy to all employees, and employees must have at least 30 days' notice of the policy. The policy must provide specified information about the testing program, including the consequences of testing positive or refusing to submit to testing.
Alaska law also specified the procedures the employer must use for gathering specimens, testing, and maintaining confidentiality. An employee who tests positive must be given ten days in which to request an opportunity to explain the result; if the employee makes such a request, the employer must provide a confidential setting for the meeting and must hold the meeting within 72 hours after the employee's request or before taking any adverse job action against the employee.
Legal Claims Arising From Drug Testing
Have you been illegally asked or required to take a drug test? Even though Alaska law allows employer to drug test, employees and applicants may have legal claims based on how the test was conducted, who was tested, or how the results were used. Here are some examples:
- Violation of state laws and procedures. Although an employer has the legal right to test, it must follow the state's requirements. An Alaska employer that doesn't provide the required notice of its testing policy or observe state procedural rights (for example, by firing an employee for a positive result without giving the employee an opportunity to explain) could face legal problems.
- Disability discrimination. An applicant or employee who is taking medication for a disability is protected by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Some prescribed medications turn up on drug tests, and some drugs that would otherwise be illegal (such as opiates) are legitimately prescribed for certain conditions. If an applicant is turned down because of a positive drug test, and the applicant's medication was legally prescribed for a disability, the company could be liable.
- Other discrimination claims. An employer who singles out certain groups of employees – for example, by race, age, or gender –for drug testing could face a discrimination claim.
- Invasion of privacy. Even an employer that is allowed or required to test might violate employee privacy in the way it conducts the test. For example, requiring employees to disrobe or provide a urine sample in front of others could be a privacy violation.
- Defamation. An employee might have a valid claim for defamation if the employer publicizes that the employee tested positive, the test result was a false positive, and the employer disclosed the information negligently.

Linaceae is a family of flowering plants. The family is cosmopolitan, and includes approximately 250 species. There are 14 genera, classified into two subfamilies: Linoideae and Hugonioideae (often recognized as a distinct family, the Hugoniaceae). Leaves of Linaceae are always simple; arrangement varies from alternate (most species) to opposite (in Sclerolinon and some Linum) or whorled (in some Hesperolinon and Linum). The hermaphroditic, actinomorphic flowers are pentameric, or very rarely tetrameric (e.g. Radiola linoides, Linum keniense).
In Linoideae, the largest genus is Linum, the flaxes, with 180-200 species including the cultivated flax, Linum usitatissimum. Members of Linoideae include herbaceous annuals and perennials as well as woody subshrubs, shrubs, and small trees (Tirpitzia) inhabiting temperate and tropical latitudes of Eurasia, Africa, Australia, and the Americas. The largest genus of Hugonioideae is Hugonia (~40 spp); Hugonioideae are woody vines, shrubs, and trees and are almost entirely tropical in distribution. In addition to their growth habits and geographic distributions, Linoideae and Hugonioideae can be differentiated by the number of fertile stamens (5 in Linoideae, 10 in Hugonioideae) and fruit type (capsules in Linoideae, fleshy drupe-like fruits in Hugonioideae).
Genera in subfamily Linoideae
Genera in subfamily Hugonioideae
Under the old Cronquist system of classifying the flowering plants, the Linaceae was placed in its own order Linales. Modern classifications place it in the order Malpighiales.

FERRISBURGH — Students at Ferrsiburgh Central School are striving to reduce their town's carbon footprint, and they just took two giant steps toward their goal.

ADDISON — The Addison Central School board has for the third straight year adopted a proposed budget that if approved on Town Meeting Day will lower spending and, according to Addison Northwest Supervisory Union estimates, could also mean a lower education property tax rate.
In March, Addison residents will weigh in on a proposal for about $1.68 million of spending in the coming school year. It would cut about $28,400, or 1.66 percent, from the current budget.
SALISBURY — One doesn't have to read between the lines to see the United Way of Addison County's (UWAC) commitment to literacy.
The nonprofit organization on Monday announced a three-year, $30,000 commitment to promoting reading in four county grade schools, beginning with Salisbury Elementary.
VERGENNES — The Vergennes Union High School board on Monday settled on an $8.97 million budget proposal to put before Addison Northwest Supervisory Union voters in March. The plan would increase spending at VUHS by a little less than 2 percent — essentially back to the school's 2007-2008 level.
Monday's action followed a Jan. 3 meeting at which the VUHS board asked administrators to cut back their recommendation of a 2.47-percent hike to less than 2 percent.
MIDDLEBURY — For the next few weeks most Middlebury College students won't be studying typical academic subjects like biochemistry or economics. Instead, they will learn about topics ranging from adventure writing to Motown.

Review/Theater; Looking Inward and Finding Emptiness
By FRANK RICH
Published: January 21, 1992
In a theatrical space as intimate as the Manhattan Theater Club Stage 2, you can tell when a play has gripped its audience, for no one seems to breathe, let alone shift in his seat. The phenomenon can be observed first-hand these nights at "Sight Unseen," a smart and sad new comedy by Donald Margulies that has all sorts of unpleasant things to say about the 1980's art scene, the loss of love and the price of assimilation, both ethnic and intellectual, in an America where authenticity often has little to do with an artist's -- or anyone else's -- rise to the top.
The scene that reduces the house to a dead hush is an Act II encounter set in a sleek London art gallery where a provocative American painter named Jonathan Waxman (Dennis Boutsikaris) is being honored with a retrospective. Jonathan, an intense, fashionably dressed young man who wears a pony tail and may or may not resemble Eric Fischl or Julian Schnabel, has been the subject of adulatory profiles in Vanity Fair and The New York Times. He has a long waiting list of patrons who have commissioned his future pictures, sight unseen, at outrageous prices. But to maintain his marketability, he must suffer through tedious interviews, like the one he is now giving to Grete (Laura Linney), a leggy blonde German woman who is a ferocious student of his work and tends to ask long, multi-clause questions in impeccable, if strongly accented, English.
For all her flirtatious obsequiousness, Grete is a hostile interviewer. She demands that Jonathan reconcile his material success with his bleak paintings about the "emptiness and spiritual deadness of middle-class life." She asks why he employs a press agent. She traps him into spewing contempt for his own audience and for what she calls "the very system that made you what you are today." Worse, she attacks the content of his paintings from the politically correct left, reading sexual brutality and racism into a notorious canvas Jonathan regards as a celebration of physical love and a statement against bigotry.
Unsurprisingly, Jonathan squirms and grows defensive. But what holds the audience rapt is the double-edged drama Mr. Margulies has written into Grete's cross-examination. The more she closes in on Jonathan, the more Jonathan begins (and not without reason) to suspect her of anti-Semitism. But is she in fact anti-Semitic? Or is Jonathan, who has strayed far from his Brooklyn Jewish roots, just exploiting the charge of anti-Semitism to deflect this German journalist's legitimate attacks on his work and integrity? The brilliance of the scene, aside from its stiletto language, is that Mr. Margulies answers yes to both questions, refusing to let anyone, least of all the audience, off the hook. Both Jonathan and Grete are right even as they are wrong, and the rest of us, left with no one to root for, must confront Mr. Margulies's own vision of a spiritual deadness he finds in middle-class intellectual life of the present day.
Not all of "Sight Unseen" is as bracing as this one confrontation, but the evening is almost always absorbing, especially as superbly acted by its cast of four in Michael Bloom's flawless production. As Mr. Margulies's daring last play, "The Loman Family Picnic," toyed a bit with "Death of a Salesman," so this one takes a leaf from "After the Fall," its fractured time structure included. The narrative thread of "Sight Unseen," told simultaneously in the present and in flashbacks, is the tale of Jonathan's mid-life crisis: spurred by his empty pre-eminence, his father's recent death and the impending birth of his first child, the artist takes a journey into his past to find out how he lost his way. The quest leads him both to his bohemian student days and to a reunion with his first muse and lover, a self-described "sacrificial shiksa" named Patricia (Deborah Hedwall) who expatriated herself and married a British archeologist, Nick (Jon De Vries), after Jonathan abandoned her 15 years earlier.
While the overall arc of Jonathan's path to self-discovery is predictable, Mr. Margulies makes the individual scenes crackle with biting dialogue, fully observed characterizations and unexpected psychological complexities. In "Sight Unseen," the metaphor of the title extends beyond a hollow painter's distant relationship to his art to a collection of long intertwined and emotionally dishonest personal relationships. The scenes in which Jonathan invites himself to Patricia and Nick's cottage in the English countryside have the lethal undercurrents of Harold Pinter's love-triangle plays, for the archeologist, a fount of malicious facetiousness in Mr. De Vries's unsettling performance, becomes almost unhinged in his esthetic and personal loathing for his unwelcome house guest. As the two men battle over the history of art (and obliquely over Patricia), the question is not who will be the victor but who is the unhappier man, the bigger self-deceiver and moral sham.
The play is less effective, even glib, when it jumps back to the Brooklyn home and art-school studio of Jonathan's youth to show when the painter was at his most authentic, as a painter and as a Jew. Jonathan's scantly described offstage parents carry more thematic weight than they can bear, and the whole juxtaposition between the jaded now and the idealistic then seems pat. That these scenes more or less work anyway is a tribute to Mr. Bloom's production: the shortcuts that eventually crop up in the script are camouflaged by the designer James Youmans's evocation of a Brooklyn boy's bedroom, Michael Roth's shimmering incidental music and, most especially, the acting of the two principal players.
Mr. Boutsikaris, looking uncannily like Ron Silver, succeeds in keeping Jonathan from becoming unbearable in the present-day scenes without soft-pedaling his arrogance, then manages to find the frisky, likable artist as a young man in the flashbacks. As the woman he cannot forget, Ms. Hedwall is simply thrilling, and not just because of her technical mastery of abrupt time-leaping transitions that force her to jump from glassy-eyed middle-aged disappointment to youthful dewiness. In a play in which everyone, the older Patricia included, has made bad bargains with life and art, she is asked to embody the pure, direct human connection, the unclouded vision, that has been lost since the characters were young. This Ms. Hedwall achieves with a nakedness of spirit so incandescent that she adds a ray of hope to the otherwise angry brush strokes that dominate the canvas of "Sight Unseen."

The former world champion achieved the landmark feat in the second frame, and added a further 121 break as the Australian blew Khairy off the table.
He because the 18th player to make more than one competitive maximum break, and at one stage scored 451 unanswered points.
The Egyptian scored a total of six points in the first four frames, before restoring a modicum of pride by putting 39 on the board in the final frame.
Robertson was the first man through in Tuesday morning's qualifying session.
He will face nine-time world ladies champion Reanne Evans after she beat Thepchaiya Un-Nooh 5-4 to qualify for the main stages of a male ranking event for the first time.
Evans, 27, played on the 2010/11 tour on a wildcard but failed to win a match. She failed to win a place for this season in Q School but won enough matches to earn the right to try and qualify for the Wuxi Classic as an amateur.
Un-Nooh led 3-0 at one point before Evans reeled off four straight frames with a top break of 52.
The Thai levelled in the following frame but lost the decider.
"It's definitely the best result of my career so far," said Evans. "Hopefully this will show other women what can be done in snooker and there will be more to follow me.
"It's a really big win for me because I have done it on merit. I played well in Q School and my results there have earned me this chance.
"I've never been to China before but I'm really excited about it now and hopefully it will give me the chance to boost my profile out there.
WPBSA chairman Jason Fergsuon said: "We are doing what we can to try to develop ladies snooker and this gives it a massive boost. It's a tremendous achievement for Reanne."
The Wuxi Classic features a flat 128-man draw, with the 64 qualifying winners travelling to China for the main tournament.
World champion Ronnie O'Sullivan has withdrawn, while world number one Mark Selby was upset 5-3 by Andrew Pagett on Monday.

My big idea for cities in 2012: Cities with Shared Pod Car SystemsJanuary 5th, 2012
Pod Cars are automated driverless vehicles that will operate on traditional roadways creating personal rapid transit systems"
* use contributes to carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and hydrocarbon emissions
* are expensive and if not shared typically are parked for most of there lifetime
* uses of cars are for 1-2 people transports
* have the technical capability to have small, energy efficient cars
* some cases cars with automated drivers are safer than humans
* automated shared car system would reduce emissions, decrease grid lock in cities, increase safety, enable faster personalized public transit options, and better utilize vehicles

Next Act gives wings, radio style to 'It's a Wonderful Life'
Imagine a Milwaukee without its musicians and dancers, its singers and actors, its highly reputed symphony and its world-class theater. It would look a lot more like Pottersville, that mean-spirited burg of cheap thrills and third-class entertainment that greets George Bailey before his great awakening.
Such were my thoughts Friday night as six veteran Milwaukee-based actors tugged at my heartstrings for the second straight year, in Next Act Theatre's reprise of "It's a Wonderful Life," as transformed by Mary MacDonald Kerr into a 1957 radio play, coming straight to us from the studio of Milwaukee's very own WNAT. »Read Full Article(1)

As agencies position themselves to align with the vision of a 21st-century government, more are turning to wikis as a smarter way to work and share. Spreadsheets and e-mail, time-honored collaboration tools, are losing their luster.
In a July 13 presentation at Tech@State:Wiki.Gov held at the George Washington University in Washington, D.C., panelists discussed the function and use of government wikis – websites featuring information contributed and edited by a community.
The intelligence community has used Intellipedia since 2006, an effort inspired by a 2004 paper by CIA employee Calvin Andrus titled, "The Wiki and the Blog: Toward a Complex Adaptive Intelligence Community." The paper highlighted the need for the intelligence community to adapt to the fast-evolving world.

In 2005, Sean Dennehy, a CIA official, began spearheading the initial Intellipedia effort and a year later, the wiki made its debut to the intelligence community. The initiative kicked off first as a pilot program and was later integrated as a permanent feature.
But Intellipedia isn't the sole tool the intelligence community is using to promote better collaboration.
"It's not all about the wiki; it's about a suite of tools that have been made available to the U.S. intelligence community," Dennehy said. "Over the last five or six years, we have looked at what works on the Internet and [said], 'let's bring it in and see if it helps us do our jobs in informing policymakers."
Many of the collaboration tools used by the IC are based on open source code in an effort to minimize costs to the taxpayer, Dennehy said. "I think we've done this on a shoestring budget over the past several years," he added.
Throughout the inception and implementation of Intellipedia, Dennehy said he and fellow CIA colleague Don Burke discovered three core principles in how to best use collaborative tools.
On the first point, Dennehy said the way the intelligence community and many other organizations work is that employees either have access to a broader, open network or one that's closed and narrow. Intellipedia falls into the former category, which appears to be necessary for good collaboration.
"Start with a base camp of generic information but then also provide a link or a breadcrumb to the more sensitive data that could be in a proprietary database or just a link saying, 'For more information, call John,'" he said.
The second principle highlights is an effort to fight the mentality of ownership. In developing Intellipedia, some agencies wanted to put their name on certain wiki pages and keep other agency names off of them. The solution was to add organization credits at the bottom of the page and links to the contributing agencies.
Finally, Dennehy said to focus on replacing existing processes. "You can throw all these tools out on a network and expect people to jump in there and start using them – but they won't," he said. "People are busy. People are busy with doing their day-to-day work."
Dennehy suggested migrating some of the regular everyday processes to collaboration tools. For example, the content of an e-mail can easily be moved to a blog, discussion page or wiki, he said.
"All of us can agree that we have e-mail overload; when you start moving into these tools, you still get e-mail but they're just notifications you can throw away," he said. "All of the rich content you want to preserve is captured in these tools."

Gotta agree - the current e-mail paradigm is headed the way of the FAX. The problems though are is still interoperability and information assurance. My wiki won't talk to your wiki - and if they did, then there'd very likely be some unauthorized *** salesmen able to read EVERYTHING on all of 'em.
Email is so 1995. It's time we realized that email is not a collaboration tool. The name of the game now is activity streams, searchable profiles where people can find expertise, and access through mobile devices.
