Coulson and the Continuing Remoteness of the Cameroons
Team Cameron's greatest potential electoral weakness is its lack of a feel or instinct for aspirational voters and lower-middle to middle Britain. In the general election campaign, it helped explain their leader's failure to connect adequately, and their subsequent failure to gain enough seats to win the election outright. Government tends to accentuate such weaknesses.
I've written at length about the phenomenon here before (Oka Conservatism, Out of Touchness and the Real Middle).
Now the one person in the PM's inner circle who was not from the world of "Oka Conservatism" has quit. Andy Coulson, who has resigned amid pressure stemming from investigations into the News of the World, the paper he used to run, was from a different corner of the planet from the Cameroons.
His background is what many of those in the political-media nexus tend to call, a little self-consciously, "ordinary." He went to a comprehensive school, didn't go to university and made his way in local newspapers and in Fleet Street tabloids. He had an understanding of what, again a little awkwardly, is referred to by some journalists as "the man or woman in the street." (Although they are not always on the street, sometimes they are in their houses, at work, in their car or on the bus). So Coulson had a very different perspective from the Cameroons.
Having the Osborne seal of endorsement (it was the then shadow chancellor who hired him for Team Cameron) Coulson was the only "outsider" to gain proper access to, and acceptance from, the true Cameroon inner circle. After he arrived, the "Quartet" that ran the Conservative show in opposition was Cameron, Osborne, Hilton and Coulson.
There's also a wider inner circle, of gatekeepers/friends and bag-carriers that have known Cameron forever. And Coulson, it appeared, was accepted and popular there, too.
It all made his relationship with Steve Hilton very complicated and difficult. Hilton has always expected, and gets, full unfettered access to Cameron. Hilton is his close friend and guru.
Cameron is quite a bit more cynical and pragmatic, but both share a passion for a particular approach. Neither of them were all that interested in the economics part of their PPE studies at Oxford. They leave that subject, largely, to the tactically minded George Osborne. Cameron and Hilton's fascination is with social policy and counterintuitive rebranding. Thus their obsession with the Big Society — rooted in conservative notions of self-help and volunteering to help others. It is a project to shrink the state and grow society, presented in language that is more warm and optimistic than their party has sometimes used.
Coulson was a potential threat to Hilton and the dominance of his agenda. The director of communications was in a position to dispute the premise of the Cameron/Hilton analysis and demand a more direct and clearly worded retail offering to aspirational and hard-pressed voters.
Interestingly, Coulson chose for the most part not to confront this. Despite robust tabloid views, on crime and tax, he isn't all that ideological and is pretty pragmatic. He mainly restricted himself to specific media and strategic advice — how stuff would play in the press, what to emphasize, who was a problem, and in government on restructuring the Downing Street spin operation after Labour.
The spin doctor's calculation, I suspect, was that a showdown over direction wouldn't make any difference. He would just be wasting capital on a war he couldn't win. Of course Coulson was trusted and is highly respected by Cameron, but in the end, there's nothing closer than the "Dave" and "Steve" relationship, not even the Osborne/Cameron partnership. Osborne himself realized that some time ago. That's probably why even though he was head of the Tories' struggling general election effort, he didn't or couldn't grab hold of the direction of the campaign. That poster with the overly long slogan and giant picture of Cameron's head? Cameron and Hilton working together. The Big Society manifesto (an invitation to join the government)? Mainly driven by Cameron and Hilton, with Letwin playing a major supporting role.
Hilton and Cameron will always text each other and take each other's calls. They love to plot, strategize and ruminate, with what insiders see as a unique intimacy. They feed off each other. Their friendship is the central relationship in the Cameroon project. It shaped the Tory leadership's approach to opposition and winning power. And it is shaping the life of this government.

Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
"Well-researched and thoughtful . . . Reconsidering how our diet affects our bodies, how we might modify it to be healthier, and being less harsh with those who struggle with their weight are all worthy goals. Taubes has done us a great service by bringing these issues to the table."
-Dennis Rosen, The Boston Globe
"Less dense and easier to read [than Good Calories, Bad Calories] but no less revelatory."
-Jeff Baker, The Oregonian
"Taubes's critique is so pointed and vociferous that reading him will change the way you look at calories, the food pyramid, and your daily diet."
-Men's Journal
"Gary Taubes is a science journalist's science journalist, who researches topics to the point of obsession—actually, well beyond that point—and never dumbs things down for readers."
-John Horgan, Scientific American
"Important . . . This excellent book, built on sound research and common sense, contains essential information."
-Larry Cox, Tucson Citizen
"This brave, paradigm-shifting man uses logic and the primary literature to unhinge the nutritional mantra of the last 80 years."
"Aggressive . . . An exhaustive investigation."
-Casey Schwartz, The Daily Beast
"Passionate and urgent . . . Backed by a persuasive amount of detail . . . As an award-winning scientific journalist who spent the past decade rigorously tracking down and assimilating obesity research, he's uniquely qualified to understand and present the big picture of scientific opinions and results. Despite legions of researchers and billions of government dollars expended, Taubes is the one to painstakingly compile this information, assimilate it, and make it available to the public . . . Taubes does the important and extraordinary work of pulling it all together for us."
-Karen Bentley, Seattle Post-Intelligencer
"Clear and accessible . . . Taubes's conviction alone makes Why We Get Fat well worth considering."
-Lacey Galbraith, Bookpage
"An enlightening treatise that is meticulously researched yet approachable by all, this will captivate anyone interested in the science of diet and disease."
-Starred review, Library Journal
"This is the book you can give to people who want to understand the science of why you're finally losing weight . . . without being hungry and miserable doing it."
-Tom Naughton, FatHead
"Why We Get Fat is nothing short of tremendous . . . This is a seminal book . . . What if the calories-in/calories-out hypothesis is wrong? What if we've spent two generations and billions of dollars re-engineering our food system and altering our eating habits away from fat . . . and making ourselves fatter and unhealthier as a result? That's what Taubes convincingly argues with clear logic, specific evidence, and brilliant illustrations on every page."
-John Durant, Hunter-Gatherer
"Compelling . . . Gary Taubes has done it again . . . [Why We Get Fat] takes a hard look at the commonly held belief that the reason why we gain weight is because we consume more calories than we expend and turns it upside down . . . Packed with eye-opening information and elucidating studies."
-Diets in Review
"This is the book I knew was inside of Good Calories, Bad Calories . . . Why We Get Fat is the book to give to friends, doctors, congressmen, and anyone else who wants to understand the futility of our current nutritional advice . . . Clearly, obviously, succinctly, Taubes shows us how scientific theories that explained obesity as a hormonal rather than moral issue were abandoned during World War II for simplistic theories based on thermodynamics that work in physics, but make no sense when used to describe the behavior of complex biological systems."

Everyone in the developed world knows what's causing our obesity epidemic. BBC nailed it: "We eat too much, and too much of the wrong things," and Michelle Obama tells us "We have to move more." Clearly what we need is a balanced diet of lean meats, some good fats, and complex carbohydrates like fruit, vegetables and whole grain bread, and exercise of 30 to 90 minutes per day. Their prescription is completely reasonable and makes intuitive sense.
It is neat, plausible, and wrong. It has in fact been disproved, as nearly as "disproof" can exist in nutrition science.
In his previous book, Good Calories Bad Calories, respected science journalist Gary Taubes exhaustively researched and cited two centuries worth of research in nutrition. He came to the conclusion that none of those recommendations is supported by science, because the fundamental theory on which they're based is wrong. Why We Get Fat is an updated summary of that earlier work, much quicker and easier to read, with some significant points clarified.
The most important point of the book is that all those public recommendations -- the food pyramid, the "eat food, not too much" approach, everything we know about a balanced lifestyle -- is founded on the premise of Calories In vs. Calories Out. That we get fat because we eat too many calories, or we don't burn enough of them through movement. But this is nonsense. It's not just wrong, it is actually not a statement about what causes obesity at all (or heart disease, cancer or diabetes, for that matter.Read more ›
There are many thoughts on why this is the case, and many "conspiracy" theories as to how it came about, some with substantial evidence and outright smoking guns. This area of health is rife with disinformation, misinformation, ignorance, and outright lies.
Taubes does not deal with any of that directly. He does something quite different and important: he uses solid research from the hard literature to make his case in a very precise and focused way. The case he makes is airtight and irrefutable, even from the most hard-nosed skeptic's viewpoint.
The first thrust of this book is to show that the old "calories in - calories out" steam engine view of obesity is not only mildly incorrect, it is so very obviously wrong on so many levels as to completely defy rational thought. While he does not deal with the reasons behind this deadly myopia in the professional, corporate, and governmental world, he does systematically dismember this superstitious silliness with glorious logic and hard evidence.
From the misunderstanding of the application of thermodynamic "laws" in biological systems to the research on obesity and disease connections, he deftly leads the reader to a greater understanding of what the real research on obesity actually says, and what that means in terms of personal health and public policy.Read more ›

Just wanted to find out if there is a way to use this to export for a specific block of time or date range other than monthly. (i.e. last 24 hours, last week, last 2 weeks, last 3 weeks, 5/14/2013 - 5/16/2013.
As it stands the export by month is nice, but I am thinking that in high volume networks, having more flexibility in this area would be very helpful.
Another very useful idea would be to extend this so that it could run on a cron job, automatically export and then import to another wordpress blog. WOW! This would knock it out of the park for passionate bloggers with networks of blogs.
Thanks for the consideration! Philip

Easiest Way to cut metal ever.
By Kentuckychet
from Mammoth Cave, KY
About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
This is the second set of blades I've gotten for my double cut saw, both times involved in a metal building upgrade. This time around I'm using it to cut new metal panels for a roof and walls. These blades cut clean and easily. The only "hitch" to using them is switching them out, you HAVE to pay attention to the spindle tabs and make sure to get them in exactly right. If you do, you're in business. My first set of blades lasted so long I'd forgotten this and as such had to redo them after the first switch-out.

Cuts through metal but not tough steel,gets dull,ordered new blades.will try to sharpen old ones. did an excellent job for a while.Good tool for minor thin tin or plastic.will keep in my workshop for further use
Triger Switch Is Hard To Use.
By The Tool Master
from Portland, Oregon
The trigger Is Hard to Turn on And Keep On But for this tool maby it should be. This thing will cut through ANYTHING. Seriously I have used it to cut 1/2" X 4" Steel Flat bar with no problems. You just don't force it and let the tool do the work and boy dose it work. The best part is the steel doesn't get Extremely hot and you don't have white hot steel flying and catching thing's on fire. But it dose throw hot shards of the cuttings off of it. I found if i where a welders helmet and long sleeve shirts and Welders Gloves it makes all the difference and you don't get it to bad. But you Definitely want to have compressed air to blow yourself off after your done. Especially your neck and arms.( With Cutting Steel ) Yes the blades are pretty spendy but if you use the tool properly they can last quite a long time even cutting steel. I have used a dremel tool with the diamond blades to resharpen the cutting wheels and it works good. Again just take your time with it.Also i opened up the Gear box and added more grease to it they don't put enough in. Use the special grease for hammer drills it is thicker than most greases and will take the heat a lot better. H.F Carries it in small tubes. Cheep To. I did all my Drills with it. They will last a lot longer .And So in Closing i will say YES to this Saw if you need to do some Serious Cutting.P.S it leaves a Very Clean Cut on your Materials no kick back AND DON'T FORCE IT. It's lot better than using Cut Off Wheels and you don't need much clean up and that saves Time. The Tool Master..

Not what I was hoping for.
By Bill the mechanic
from Roselle, NJ
I bought this tool primarily to cut steel plate and structural steel. It will do the job, but the speed of the blades is just too fast for steel. I did manage to cut about 30 linear feet through 1/4" plate before I needed to change the blades, but it was very rough going. It probably works really well for softer materials though. If they had a lower speed, it might work well with steel.

Self-reliance and sustainability in the 21st century.
By Sherry Leverich Tucker
okra, fried okra, Sherry Leverich Tucker
We are harvesting okra like mad right now! When the okra plant is at its peak, pods can be harvested practically everyday because they set on and grow so quickly. I love fried okra, it is a farm favorite around here. Occasionally someone will mention that they don't like okra because it is slimy. Do not fear; fried okra doesn't have to be slimy. Try this iron skillet cooked, cornmeal-dredged fried okra.
Fried Okra
Rinse okra well with water and set in colander to drip off excess water. Slice okra into ¼ inch pieces. If an okra pod is hard to cut, discard it. It is best to use young, tender pods for frying. In a bowl mix together cornmeal, salt and pepper. Dredge all of okra pieces with the cornmeal. Heat an iron skillet and add oil (whatever kind of oil you prefer for frying) to cover bottom of skillet. Use your hands or a slotted spoon to place all of the okra into the hot skillet without adding the leftover cornmeal. Fry at medium heat for a few minutes and turn with spatula. Cover and cook a few minutes more, then turn again with spatula. Continue cooking until most okra is a dark golden brown and tender. Watch with care, it can be easy to burn if not turned often enough. Lift cooked okra out with a spatula onto a paper towel lined bowl or platter.
A cornmeal mix or a seasoned cornmeal fish fry is also tasty to use for dredging the okra in. For a good country meal, try this with some fresh purple hull peas, sliced tomatoes, baked pork chops in gravy with mashed potatoes and blueberry muffins. Can you tell I'm hungry? Enjoy the fresh summer vegetables while it lasts!

While everyone - even Greenpeace - needs to operate within available technology, there must be some rationale to determine what efforts to protect the environment are worth the environmental destruction associated with each operation. Burning many tons of the dirtiest fuel available to take an old ship somewhere for a photo opportunity certainly seems questionable. Does Greenpeace even own a sailing vessel?

Was it really worthwhile to sail the MV Arctic Sunrise into the ice at Svalbard to put a piano on a barge (built for the purpose to look like floating ice and no doubt discarded afterward) so an Italian pianist could play some new music? He could have played in front a screen showing the same melting glacier, with the same effect and without hauling the production on a diesel-burning ship.

This isn't just an issue with Greenpeace. The Sea Shepherds are a well-intentioned floating environmental disaster, too. It seems very popular among environmentalists to travel to gather for conferences, getting there by jet aircraft and cars... ever heard of firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-12339127.post-49460966033491389872016-06-16T14:23:21.783-05:002016-06-16T14:23:21.783-05:00Savvy Humanist: One who does not know his/her assh...Savvy Humanist: One who does not know his/her asshole from a hole in the ground.Don R.

[..] Some of my fellow climate scientists had suggested earlier that as climate scientists, we should say something about the overwhelming scientific evidence of human caused climate change.

Wonder what he is referring to?

My thanks to Roger Pielke, Jr. for the following clarity on the subject matter at hand.

IPCC AR5 – Floods

"In summary, there continues to be a lack of evidence and thus low confidence regarding the sign of trend in the magnitude and/or frequency of floods on a global scale."

IPCC SREX co-authors – Floods

"a direct statistical link between anthropogenic climate change and trends in the magnitude/frequency of floods has not been established... There is such a furore of concern about the linkage between greenhouse forcing and floods that it causes
society to lose focus on the things we already know for certain about floods and how to mitigate and adapt to them. Blaming climate change for flood losses makes
flood losses a global issue that appears to be out of the control of regional or national institutions. The scientific community needs to emphasize that the
problem of flood losses is mostly about what we do on or to the landscape and that will be the case for decades to come."

Zbigniew et al. 2014 Hydrological Sciences Journal

IPCC AR5 – Tropical cyclones

"Current datasets indicate no significant observed trends in global tropical cyclone frequency over the past century ."

"No robust trends in annual numbers of tropical storms, hurricanes and major hurricanes counts have been identified over the past 100 years in the North
Atlantic basin."
---
IPCC SREX – Tornadoes

"There is low confidence in observed trends in small spatial-scale phenomena such
as tornadoes and hail."
---
IPCC AR5 – Drought

"There is not enough evidence to support medium or high confidence of attribution of increasing trends to anthropogenic forcings as a result of observational uncertainties and variable results from region to region. .

. we conclude consistent with SREX that there is low confidence in detection and attribution of changes in drought over global land areas since the mid-20th century."

"Recent long-term droughts in western North America cannot definitively be shown to lie outside the very large envelope of natural precipitation variability in this region"

In an email Hans wrote ...

"The essence of science is to be able to have a discourse and discuss pro and cons about hypotheses and theories especially if you claim that the organization you represent has the intention to reach a standard that is at a scientific level. I have found that leading members of PSI show little will to discuss scientific matters and to leave out personal emotions making it close to impossible to have a meaningful dialog.

"Doug Cotton might behave in a miserable way showing his anger towards certain scientists and PSI. Still, the book he has published contains many arguments which deserve a serious and thorough investigation. This is why I have recommended a number of Australian politicians to read what he writes. Much of it is essential in the debate of the IPCC false claims and even the future economies of western countries and even more. "

THE SUN'S DIRECT RADIATION CANNOT EXPLAIN SURFACE TEMPERATURES.

You can't assume (like Postma and Bright-Paul) that the mean of 168W/m^2 could produce a mean temperature above 233K (-40°C) just because the radiation is variable and can reach over 1,000W/m^2 for a very small portion of Earth's surface. The variability actually leads to a LOWER mean temperature than that for steady flux. How would you explain Venus surface temperatures with your conjecture anyway?

That's why the correct paradigm had to be discovered, as I did - https://itsnotco2.wordpress.com

IT'S ABOUT TIME all you CLAUSIUS FANS got it into your heads that (for NON-RADIATIVE HEAT) the Clausius corollary of the Second Law* only applies in a horizontal plane wherein gravitational potential energy does not change and thus does not affect entropy. THIS IS OVERWHELMINGLY IMPORTANT IN REGARD TO PLANETARY TEMPERATURES.

It is NOT radiation that supplies all the necessary thermal energy to maintain a planet's surface temperature - it is free (or "natural") convective heat transfer happening at the molecular level and carrying out the SECOND LAW* process of MAXIMUM ENTROPY PRODUCTION. But you will need to study my paper that arrogant people at PSI rejected in 2013.

* Second law of thermodynamics: "In a natural thermodynamic process, the sum of the entropies of the interacting thermodynamic systems increases." There's nothing in there about heat from hot to cold.

You need to study what happens in real experiments and real studies, such as mine which shows real world data confirming water vapor cools rather than warms. You need to realize that rain forests with 4% water vapor are not 50 degrees hotter than drier regions, that the Sun's radiation cannot make the surface hotter than it makes the middle of the troposphere and that mankind can do nothing about climate change which is 100% natural.

A location on the Moon's surface can cool by over 200 degrees in about two weeks, getting down to around -150°C on the dark side. Now, Antarctica is on the dark side of Earth for over three months in winter, but its temperature remains fairly steady in the vicinity of -50°C to -60°C. But there must be at least some loss of energy via radiation through the atmospheric window to Space. So what replenishes that energy? Clearly the difference between the Moon and the Earth has something to do with the atmosphere. Hence the energy must come from the atmosphere, but wherever the atmosphere is colder than the Antarctic surface, there can be no heat transfer by radiation. There can however be a process which increases entropy in accord with the Second Law of Thermodynamics, and you can read about that process at https://itsnotco2.wordpress.com because that is where this mystery energy does in fact come from. When you understand this process and note the overwhelming evidence supporting its existence then, and only then, will you have a correct understanding as to why the radiative greenhouse is nothing but fiction.

It is obvious to any physicist that the greenhouse conjecture is false, because the direct solar radiation reaching the surface is less than a third of what would be required to explain observed surface temperatures.

James Hansen noted this apparent discrepancy and, not realizing that the rest of the required thermal energy is in fact supplied during the day by non-radiative processes, he wrongly assumed that radiation from the cold atmosphere could be added to solar radiation and the total used in Stefan-Boltzmann calculations. But even the net of 390W/m^2 which included the back radiation would not be enough because it is variable flux and can thus only achieve a mean temperature much closer to freezing point. He really needed over 450W/m^2 but glossed over that fact and "taught" the world of climatology the totally incorrect physics based on compounding the radiation from two effectively sub-zero sources and assuming that the sum "explained" observations.

Now, most of the atmospheric radiation comes from the most prolific "greenhouse" gas, water vapor which is claimed to cause warming, though evidence suggests the opposite. So where did it all go so wrong? Hansen incorrectly assumed that, without IR-active greenhouse gases, the temperatures in the troposphere would be isothermal. That is not what the Second Law of Thermodynamics tells us, because it says entropy will be a maximum, not temperatures equal. Every vortex cooling tube in the world demonstrates how a force field (like gravity or centrifugal force) sets up a radial temperature gradient as that force acts on molecules in flight between collisions. The "lapse rate" (climatology speak for temperature gradient) is not due to imaginary "parcels" of air rising, expanding and cooling, because there is nothing to hold any such parcels together as the molecules move randomly between collisions at speeds of about 1,800 Km/hour.

This temperature gradient evolves at the molecular level in accord with the process of maximum entropy production, and that state of maximum entropy is reached when there are no remaining unbalanced energy potentials. That means that the sum of mean molecular gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy is homogeneous, and so there is a temperature gradient.

Once we understand that the temperature gradient is what physicists call the state of thermodynamic equilibrium, then everything falls into place. We can deduce quite simply that new solar energy absorbed in the stratosphere and upper atmosphere each morning will disturb the equilibrium and it can only be restored by downward non-radiative heat transfers, these being the real source of the missing energy Hansen tried to explain with back radiation.

So, in fact, temperatures in a planetary system build up from anchoring layers in the upper troposphere and above, all the way to the core, because the temperature gradient, forming at the molecular level, can be calculated and shown to occur in solids, liquids and gases. It forms by a slow process which can be over-ridden, and is, in the oceans and the stratosphere, but, in general, it dominates. It is observed in all planetary tropospheres, and so the probability of this "heat creep" hypothesis being wrong is millions to one against.

From 2005-2011 they added 2 600-megawatt coal plants per week, the equivalent to 1 and a half of the entire U.S. fleet of coal-fired power plants.

We heard nothing from President Obama, yet this is the threat of our lifetime.

I have yet to hear anything about China and Japan financing coal-fired power plants in Bangladesh and Indonesia.

Q.1: What is the sensitivity for each 1% of water vapor in the atmosphere?

Q.2: Based on your answer to Q.1, how much warming does a mean of 1.25% of water vapor produce?

Q.3: Also based on the above, how much hotter should be a rain forest with 4% WV compared with a dry region with 1% WV?

Q.4: Taking into account the fact that solar radiation reaching Earth's surface ranges between zero and about 1,000W/m^2 with a mean between 160 and 170W/m^2 and that radiation from the colder atmosphere is known not to penetrate water more than a few nanometers (thus unable to "warm" it) explain, using the Stefan Boltzmann equation and a typical range of flux between 0 and 1,000W/m^2 how the ocean surface reaches observed temperatures.

For answers, study the new 21st century paradigm shift in climate change science which will be widely publicized in 2017 and common knowledge by 2025 whilst the current hiatus continues until about 2028 to 2030. Long-term (500 year) natural cooling will start before 2100 and mean temperatures will not rise more than about 0.4 to 0.6 degree before the cooling starts, as shown here.

The morning after a race…. As I sat and looked at a place that would have once been called a living room, which is now full of race gear- I took a moment to stop and look at all of the photos and status updates online about the race and give some thanks to the experience.
Thank you Mother Nature who for providing us with ideal winter trail conditions – when all was said and done we had about 6-15 inches of fresh snow depending on where you live and the temps at race start were around 8 degrees- That gave us photos like this:
We had amazing photographers – VOLUNTEER time and services to us in single digit temps.. for that I am eternally thankful.
Here from Alex Tong
Here From Mike Lesher�
Here from Brian Van Buren�
Thank you to Ben Murphy – Sheila – and Dan Ostrander who gave up a Friday evening – to take on single digit temps to mark the course -
Thank you to Ron – for not only sitting in the cold and timing all day – but for leading countless runs on the course until we had it just right – We know you hate winter – but your love for the trails makes you seem to enjoy it. Thanks to Greg for being there ALL day to help out with timing and data details.
Thanks to Sean for getting up at an ungodly hour to drive from the west side down to Powder Mills Park to help us finish set up at 6am with headlamps – Thanks then for standing on a hill in single digit temps with Jamie Hobbs encouraging the runners all day long.
Thanks to Jamie – Susan – Ron – Heather for taking down the course markings and saving me from a brutal 5 miles at the end of the day!
Thank you to ALL of the other amazing volunteers who were inside the lodge or out at the water stop that I did not get to see much of on race day – Bethany, Matt, Ben, Stacy, HBO, Jessica, Erica, Theresa and so, so, so many more for keeping our runners fed, warm, and happy.
Thank most of all though to Sheila – Again. If anyone was going to be with me as I spent countless hours on a Friday and Saturday – 4pm-11pm Friday and 5 am to 5pm on Sunday I would want it to be her. We spent so many of those hours in single digit temps and she was smiling with me the entire way -
The way She manages our volunteers – the race food (including the amazing homemade soup you all got) – and all of the inside logistics so I can wander around and romp in the snowy woods with the runners is simply amazing – Without Sheila – there would be chaos inside at these events – In short, without Sheila, there would likely not be events-
THANK YOU, Sheila for letting me give what I can to #TrailsRoc. I could write an entire post about you but it comes down to thank you and I love you.
Thank you to the #TrailsRoc crew AND families – Sometimes on facebook folks mention just my name when talking about these events – They are our events, not my events – You give up time with your families and you bring them to help at our events – so thank you all for that – Who knew what a twitter meet up at Red Robin to talk about trail running would turn into!
It struck me looking at these photos that no one had to be out on the trails in those conditions, but there are people as crazy as me who just love stuff like this and that is an amazing feeling -
So thank you runners -
Thank you again for trusting us and putting your faith in us to venture into the woods on an unknown course in the middle of a snowstorm – Thank you for supporting our little organization as we seek to improve and share the world of trail running for and with you in Rochester -
Join us in our next event as we partner with The Center For Youth and Fashion Week Rochester under Sheilas amazing new idea – www.trailsroc.org/messthedress

juans: ok now what is the most likely scenario, who is going to be traded and what are we going to get in return?
Jose_de_Jesus_Ortiz: Mark Loretta and one of the relievers will probably get shipped off for an outfielder and a third baseman. They'll be looking for prospects who will be able to help them for the next couple of years.
Chad: If we start a "rebuilding" process are we going to be the Kansas city Royals of the national league? Or can we turn things around in a year or 2?
Jose_de_Jesus_Ortiz: Well the Astros refuse to use the word "rebuild," so I don't envision them becoming the Royals. But they have to make smart moves — no more Jason Jennings-type trades.
Chad: Do you see the payroll going over 100 million next year?
Jose_de_Jesus_Ortiz: No, I don't see that happening. I don't see Drayton taking that step, but they'll need to get over that mark if they plan to fix all their problems.
Chad: Can we pencil in Troy Patton as a starter next year?
Jose_de_Jesus_Ortiz: At sometime, yes.
Zooby: Do you think MLB will require base coaches to wear helmets after Mike Coolbaugh's tragic injury? Should they?
Jose_de_Jesus_Ortiz: Baseball has been slow to adjust throughout its history. It wouldn't be a bad idea. It doesn't hurt any body to be extra cautious.
gkateb: % chance that Jennings will be in an Astros uniform next year?
Jose_de_Jesus_Ortiz: Probably 50%. It's hard to say either way at this point.
astrosfan21: Do you see a future in coaching for Craig Biggio once he retires?
Jose_de_Jesus_Ortiz: Absolutely. I'd say he'll probably take a couple of years off. Some might say he's been managing this team for years now.
PAV: When is Everett due back? And is he going to be given the everyday job as soon as he's healthy?
Jose_de_Jesus_Ortiz: He'll be out at least another week or two. Eric Bruntlett may have won that job, or at least more playing time.
astrosfan21: Who do you see the Astros trying to get during Free Agent signing this winter?
Jose_de_Jesus_Ortiz: It depends on this trade deadline. Maybe a centerfielder or a third baseman. You can dream about Carlos Zambrano, so why not.
Hito: How likely is McClain to go back on his word and ship Lidge off for some magic beans?
Jose_de_Jesus_Ortiz: I wouldn't rule it out.
Jose_de_Jesus_Ortiz: They can always say the deal was just too good to pass up
crp012: You don't think the Astros will try and get something for Jennings now rather than let him go into free agency?
Jose_de_Jesus_Ortiz: I know they'll try, but that doesn't mean that they'll get what they want.
JDL: Do you think Mike Lamb wants to be in Houston next year?
Jose_de_Jesus_Ortiz: Mike Lamb wants to start. It that is in Houston, he wants to be in Houston. If it isn't in Houston, he'll take the opportunity elsewhere.
MikeyLegend: Luke Scott bats .294 vs. lefties and had our lone RBI yesterday. When will Phil realize a Scott vs. a lefty is better than Burke in RF?
Jose_de_Jesus_Ortiz: Phil Garner loves Chris Burke. I don't understand it, the only explanation I can figure is that he looks like him and went to the University of Tennessee. Maybe he sees him as the major league son his children couldn't be.
gkateb: You think that Selig is loving the diversion caused by Michael Vick and the NBA ref from him and Barry Bonds?
Jose_de_Jesus_Ortiz: No, I actually think Selig is enjoying the attention he's getting. If he weren't, he would've made a definitive statement about Bonds and moved on.
Fugimo: Chance of Garner returning next year ?
Jose_de_Jesus_Ortiz: I don't think they're very good. If one thing Drayton McLane is really disgusted about, it's the poor fundamentals and sloppy play of the last two years. That is a reflection of the manager. Major league players should play better.
Arick: What do you think our 2008 starting rotation will be?
Jose_de_Jesus_Ortiz: That's a tough question to answer this far in advance. Roy Oswalt, Chris Sampson, Wandy Rodriguez, Matt Albers and Troy Patton would be my best guess.
astrosfan21: Who would be the canidates for the GM if Tim Puprura gets fired?
Jose_de_Jesus_Ortiz: David Forst, Tony Bernazard, Gerry Hunsicker (yeah right, LOL)
lurch723: What is the latest on Hunter Pence with his wrist injury
Jose_de_Jesus_Ortiz: As of yesterday he expected to play today, so I'm assuming he'll be back in the lineup.
Will: Most likely reliever to be moved by the deadline?
Jose_de_Jesus_Ortiz: Dan Wheeler or Chad Qualls.
Proverbs3130: How is Brandon Backe progressing? Any hope of him pitching this season?
Jose_de_Jesus_Ortiz: The brilliant Brian McTaggart had a note about Backe in today's paper. He's set to come back to the Astros Sept. 1.
Travis: If Purpura is relieved of his duties, do you think he'll be re-instated as the minor-league player development guru he once was?
Travis: If Purpura is relieved of his duties, do you think he'll be re-instated as the minor-league player development guru he once was?
Jose_de_Jesus_Ortiz: They'll probably make him a consultant or something along those lines.
astrofan345: What teams could be interested in Loretta and what could the astros realistically get for him?
Jose_de_Jesus_Ortiz: I know the Mets are interested. I'm sure there are others. They could probably get a second-tier prospect for him right now.
djn: is there any chance for the astro to make the playoff this year
Jose_de_Jesus_Ortiz: Only if Brian McTaggart stops drinking, and that's not going to happen.
astrosfan21: Do you think Woody Williams would be a better fit in the bullpen as a long reliever than a starting pitcher?
Jose_de_Jesus_Ortiz: No. Be nice to Woody.
megastahr: Is Garet Atkins an option for trade or would the rockies just burn us again? (is he a free agent anytime soon?)
Jose_de_Jesus_Ortiz: It's not going to happen so don't even waste your time thinking about it.
joepuma: the lack of hustle at times during the season by the astros dissappoints and surprises me,given that garner was known for his hustle during his playing days.What's your take on this issue?
Jose_de_Jesus_Ortiz: My take is that they need a teacher as the next manager.
rickstyles33: what are are future plans for the left side of the infield?
Jose_de_Jesus_Ortiz: They would like to trade Morgan Ensberg. They would like Adam Everett to field and somebody to hit for him.
jose: Why are the questions slow coming? Is it the internet or not many questions asked/
Jose_de_Jesus_Ortiz: It takes time to read them and filter through the ones that have been answered.
edabsco: hear a lot of trade talk but Burke's name never comes up… why?
Jose_de_Jesus_Ortiz: Maybe he isn't wanted. Maybe Phil Garner is the only one who loves him.
HILARIO: wow, this was my first "chat" with writers experience, it really sucks, takes to long for you to answer, i expected more, disappointintg!!
Jose_de_Jesus_Ortiz: Maybe if I didn't have to answer your whining I could get to another one.
TJ: What's up with Berkman? Do you expect that he will play on Monday?
Jose_de_Jesus_Ortiz: I think he's a lot worse than they're letting on. Trust me, you don't sit a guy like that for three days if he weren't badly hurt. You'd be surprise but the management and player at times don't want you or me to know how badly a guy is hurt. By rule, I always assume a guy is a lot more hurt than he says. I've learned that in 11 years of covering MLB.
BringBackGerry: Have the Astros figured out that this is a lost season?
Jose_de_Jesus_Ortiz: I think so.
megastahr: Ok back to the astros…What is more likey us aquiring a CF prospect or Signing someone like Byrnes?
Jose_de_Jesus_Ortiz: I'd say a trade.
Darin: Did you know that over the last 4 weeks, Woody Williams is the Astros best starting pitcher? His sub 3.12 ERA over that span is the lowest among the 'stros starters by around a run and a half. O
swalt's second. Do you think Ausmus has alot to do with this?
Jose_de_Jesus_Ortiz: Yeah, but he has a long way to go before he's where he wants to be. A guy that age shouldn't need a catcher as a clutch.
edabsco: How much control does the managers have over the batters as far as giving them instructions to "swing the bat" instead of looking at all those strikes.
Jose_de_Jesus_Ortiz: Not much. I don't think there is much teaching going on with the Astros.
Travis: What piece of information do you have that would surprise even the most avid Astros fan?
Jose_de_Jesus_Ortiz: Wandy Rodriguez has learned how to give interviews in English after I prodded him.
Chris: Saw you mention in your blog and Baseball Notebook the possibility/ies of a "new" center fielder, anyone else besides Eric Byrnes strike your fancy?
Jose_de_Jesus_Ortiz: I want that 18-year-old phenom with the Mets. He is at Double-A.
gkateb: You ever think Roy O will win a Cy Young with the Astros?
Jose_de_Jesus_Ortiz: Absolutely. He should have won two already.
mark21: Who gets the boot when Backe comes back?
Jose_de_Jesus_Ortiz: Nobody. He won't be back until Sept. 1, at the earliest. By then the rosters will have expanded.
buAstrosFan: What do you think are the chances of landing Jacob Ellsbury?
Jose_de_Jesus_Ortiz: Red Sox fans acted like a bunch of babies when I mentioned this kid. They seem to really like him. If the Astros dont' give up Lidge, I cannot see how they would get him.
strosfan: whats the status of jason lane?
Jose_de_Jesus_Ortiz: He is where he can thrive: Round Rock.
Travis: No, Gomez is the real deal. He's the Mets's centerfielder at Triple-A, the Zephyrs.
Jose_de_Jesus_Ortiz: You're right. I met him in January when I spoke to the Rookie Development guy. Why did you say no? Did I ask you something?
Draytonlovestacobell: Jose, an 18 year-old is at least 7 years away from the Big Leagues, Signed Tim
Jose_de_Jesus_Ortiz: Funny guy! That 18 year old is better than any prospect the Astros have now. He'd start at Triple A for the Astros. He is the real deal.
Draytonlovestacobell: Oswalt's ERA is going up and his strikeout #s have gone down each year, what makes you think he'll win a CY?
Jose_de_Jesus_Ortiz: This year has been different because he's been trying to go further in games and also trying to play with this awful defense beghind him. Even I couldn't suceed with this defense.
shironeben: Are the Astros going to sign their first two draft picks. Or were they just another waste?
Jose_de_Jesus_Ortiz: It is leaning toward that. They better get it together. If they don't sign those guys, they'll be in trouble.
kmcbrid2: will biggio retire this year? If not, then why wouldn't he?
Jose_de_Jesus_Ortiz: I think he'll announce that he'll retire. If I could bet, I'd say Aug. 12 will be the day he announces his decision.
Ralph: JJO, time is running short. Are the Astros going to do anything before the trading deadline?
Jose_de_Jesus_Ortiz: Sure. Tim Purpura is working real hard. Drayton told me they had some things they are considering.
Jose_de_Jesus_Ortiz: Thanks for participating. If I didn't get your questions and you don't see it in the transcript, send me one to the blog. I'll answer all your questions in tomorrow's blog. Dig it?

So, signed up for MLB.tv and I'm willing to let someone use my login to watch all the games if they want.
It's $99/season..and I already talked to Dino about it and gave him my login.
Last year, BirdmanJr, myself, and a buddy of mine all used it at once so I know it can work...and we can all log in so you can see it works before..but I'm looking for another person interested that way we all can pay $33 and have the entire season.
If interested, go ahead and PM me or comment here...plus, I guess we can use this thread for general MLB.tv talk as well...or I guess for others who wanna do this as well.

Sunday June 15, 2008
BROOKLYN, Mich. (AP) -- Dale Earnhardt Jr. ended his 76-race
winless string Sunday, coasting to victory at Michigan
International Speedway under a caution flag with little but fumes
left in his gas tank.
NASCAR's most popular driver gave his new boss, Rick Hendrick,
only his second victory of the season as he somehow squeezed enough
gas out of his last fillup to go three laps beyond the regulation
finish in the Lifelock 400.
A spin by Patrick Carpentier on the 203rd lap brought out the
final caution and probably saved the victory for Earnhardt, who ran
out of gas moments after crossing the finish line behind the pace
