Lou Piniella RANT
Yeah, we're all pretty sick of the 2010 Cubs. But just for a moment, imagine being Lou Piniella.
Close your eyes and just... imagine having to walk into the little "how come" room and explain this team to the media.
It has to be the absolute worst kind of hell.
Seriously, if you made a movie and had to depict hell, what better place than that little room? Day after day after day...
Now, I don't know exactly what he's thinking, but I would imagine it would be something close to this.
I'd give a million bucks to have a beer with the man, hear it for real...
You can view Tim Souers work on a daily basis at Cubby Blue.
Re: Lou Piniella RANT
Maybe if the reporters asked him day after day why he batted the two worst RBI guys in the lineup 3 and 4 he would have gotten a clue by, say June 1st.
Re: Lou Piniella RANT
Over the weekend I heard Len&Bob remark more than once, actually about ten million times, that Cubs hitting has been a problem all season and tailed off as the season progressed -- which is totally untrue. In fact, the Cubs started the season off at the bottom of the league in team batting and now are league average (Cubs-.257 .322 .408 .731 NL- .257 .326 .403 .729). And they rank 6th in home runs with 112.
But somehow, the Cubs have managed* to take an average offense and utilize it to rank 12th/16 in runs scored. I'm guessing that a lot of that falls on Lou-- the manager* and the black hole in the middle of the lineup he keeps penciling in game after game. Not to mention hitting Tyler Colvin first even though he's shown no ability to hit at all at the top of the order and Geo Soto 8th even though he's been around .400 OBP all season.
Yeah, the Cubs are lousy with RISP. It should be no mystery why. That'll happen when your 3 and 4 hitters suck as bad as Lee and Ramirez have.
Re: Lou Piniella RANT
given the cubs "i give up" record colvin/castro are probably batting 1/2 for no other reason that getting them maximum ABs to prep for 2011.
that said, meh...
who's ready for castro leading off with dewitt hitting 2nd in 2011? woo.
Re: Lou Piniella RANT
We've seen worse. Not sure why we don't do that now. If we're benching Colvin to get his head straight, why are we trying to maximize his at bats simultaneously?
Seems alright to me.
Re: Lou Piniella RANT
i wish mr. i can't run to 1st while i'm daydreaming about my winter vacation would have accepted a trade.
if he's going to be like this i hope he's willing to re-up with the cubs for 1yr 5m-ish or something risk reasonable...and shows up ready to have his head checked in a bit more.
i dont expect hoff or snyder to be suitable replacements, but dlee is a bit of a distraction, imo.
Re: Lou Piniella RANT
I think Byrd should hit higher. He's not a real number 3 in most other lineups but we don't have that type of hitter right now, unless you consider ARam to be a number 3 hitter when healthy. I always thought ARam to be better suited as a 3 hitter than DLee even when they were both in their prime. ARam makes more contact.

Re: Lou Piniella RANT
lou raised his voice a few times and they got scared.
if you listen to post game, the media sound like a 7 year old asking to cross the street.
Re: Lou Piniella RANT
Yeah I agree with this. I wonder if there will be "ding dong the witch is dead" tweets after his final game of the year from our fine press corp.
Re: Lou Piniella RANT
Is AZ Phil on vacation or something?

Re: Lou Piniella RANT
Re: Lou Piniella RANT
Lou: Not the Cub's biggest problem. A legit team has players that know and do their job. A manager basically manages personalities at this level.
Re: Lou Piniella RANT
Not the Cubs biggest problem, but his awful lineups this season has surely cost them several games. It's not like they'd be .500 though.
Re: Lou Piniella RANT
No lou is not.
But if i'm soto, i ' m wondering why i' m batting 8th.
If i'm z i'm wondering why i got shipped to the bullpen.
If i'm colvin i'm wondering why i was on bench behind nada for a month.
If i'm sori and byrd i'm wondering why don't get one game batting 3/4.
Lot more questions tham answers from lou.
But hey whatta you gonna do?
Re: lineups
I see we have the first baseman sub for Lee batting third again tonight.
Re: Lou Piniella RANT
Wow, 4 first inning runs vs. Lincecum. If the Cubs hold true to form, they're done scoring for the evening. Demp better be able to make the 4 runs hold up.
Re: Lou Piniella RANT
and the cubs are trying hard to blow it...4-1, 2 on, 1 out
someone out there needs to pull castro's choke collar, too.
he's given LA hits in the past 2 games trying to play the OF from SS and blocking the OF'rs from making plays...and his stupid throws keep coming. hardcore superman syndrome even if he's not some egomaniac.
-edit- woo, double play
Re: Lou Piniella RANT
You do know that OFers are allowed to call an infielder off, right?
Re: Lou Piniella RANT
i dunno if mlb.com has the replays, but if they do they'll show 1-2 guys standing or jogging while a youngblood coming full force and top speed missiles himself into the play regardless of who's calling what.
it'd be like stepping in front of a truck...well, a car...well, a motorcycle...a honda.
Re: Lou Piniella RANT
Did you watch the game last night? Soriano seems to think his job is to run around not catching anything.
He did a nice job making off line throws though.
Re: Lou Piniella RANT
im talking about specific plays where castro decided he covers the entire field and kept OF'rs from making plays.
it's just youthful over-aggression and not knowing how certain fields (even his current home field) plays with great familiarity.
i'm not calling the kid trash...i'm just saying he needs to recognize his limits as well as the talents of those he plays with.
Re: Lou Piniella RANT
The last thing I'm gonna worry about is a flashy 20 year old shortstop prone to overhustling.
Re: Lou Piniella RANT
Amen brutha. Who really gives a shit if he makes a couple stupid plays as a 20 year old because he's TRYING TOO HARD.
Re: Lou Piniella RANT
Damn that Castro for trying too hard.
If an outfielder is "kept from making plays," that's their fault.
Re: Lou Piniella RANT
Well, if the outfielders are calling him off and he ignores them then it's Castro's fault.
Re: Lou Piniella RANT
You all are ignoring the obvious: it's Michael Barrett's fault.
Re: Lou Piniella RANT
Reds and Cardinals finally got into a fight tonight after the stuff Phillips said. For a baseball fight it was actually somewhat entertaining. And Larussa and Baker were ejected. Video at the link.
Re: Lou Piniella RANT
FONTAIN! He's awake!
Re: Lou Piniella RANT
Ooh look... another passed ball by Koyie "defensive wizard" Hill. And then an error on by the Micah "slick first baseman" Hoffpauir.
Please tell me that those two won't be anywhere close to the Cubs big league team next year...
Re: Lou Piniella RANT
Sample size, anyone?
Re: Lou Piniella RANT
I never said that it was a meaningful sample.
They both suck, and last night was just more evidence. I don't want them to have anything to do with the Cubs next year.
Also... I wasn't using statistics, so "samples" are not very relevant.
Re: Lou Piniella RANT
An error is a statistic. You were using one error to dismiss the possibility that Hoffpauir is a slick fielding first basemen.
Re: Lou Piniella RANT
No... I was being sarcastic, and was hardly trying to prove a point based on one game.
And I still think that both K. Hill and Hoffpauir suck.

holy crap that was a clunker...horrible scoring not to call it an error, too.
hey awesome...passed ball k.hill...never seen that before...scored a wild pitch on cashner, not arguing that one.
Re: Lou Piniella RANT
9th inning and we're falling apart again.
Update: Nice to see Marmol settle down and shut them down.
Re: Lou Piniella RANT
Yeah, they weren't really getting good contact off of Marmol (a lot of stuff off the end of bats, falling out of gloves, dribbling up the middle) but Marmol wasn't making anybody look sick like he usually does. Suddenly, the Giants got two runs and have the winning run at the plate and Marmol gets royally pissed off -- he blows three straight fastballs past Uribe (swinging), then gets two feeble swings from Ishikawa before making him dribble the ball to 1st.
You could really see the difference that the extra adrenaline made on the quality of his pitches. One minute they were fighting him off and getting wood on the ball, to a greater or lesser degree, and the next minute they suddenly looked over-matched and pitiful.
Damn entertaining!

Re: Lou Piniella RANT

Brilliant after the fact insight. Lee and Ramirez are the teams best hitters, period. People wanted Soriano released to start this season, or at the very least buried at the bottom of the lineup. People got most of their wish and i think he has been wasted hitting 6th for our team.
You pay Lee, Ramirez, and Soriano to drive in runs and score them. Your team lives and dies by what they do. Switching them out of the #3 and #4 spot to be replaced by who? Fukudome? Byrd? Ohhhh wait Tyler "one year wonder" Colvin? We wouldn't of won more games by doing any of that, because our team needed Lee, Ramirez, and Soriano's combined production to win the division. It sucks 2 out of the 3 decided to have a bad year and the 3rd got buried in the lineup because of knee jerk reactions.
Come on dude arm chair managing is easy when you already know the outcome. Which is exactly where you comment comes from.
Re: Lou Piniella RANT
People wanted Soriano released to start this season
Name one.
And the reply button is your friend.
Re: Lou Piniella RANT
Sorry don't remember the names, but i do chime in time to time wondering why Soriano is still on the Cubs if he was so finished and washed up that he needed to be released ASAP according to some. Tyler Colvin is his successor afterall and the man deemed to take over his position.
I have had far more confidence in Castro's ability to hit than Colvin's. I have had less confidence in Castro's defense being a massive upgrade over Theriot, that little myth hasn't become reality yet despite everyone saying it is so. I have no doubt he has the skills to be better, but right now? No way in hell.
I want Colvin to play every single day so he can get exposed as a fluke and we don't go into next year hoping on his production. Because your going to get a massive Neifi Perez let down when that happens. Where did his power go? Why are his strikeouts up and walks down? Why isn't he hitting? Where is the 2010 Tyler Colvin "Awesome" show? Just get it over with now and don't go depending on something that won't happen with this kid as he goes on the Jerome Walton career path.
Producing talent doesn't mean 1 year wonders, it means producing a talent that contributes heavily to the parent club for many seasons. We still haven't achieved that since Mark Grace in positional talent. And our best hitting prospect in that time? Its more than likely Casey McGehee and he plays for the Brewers.
Just for perspective, the league seemed to have quickly figured out how to get Castro out, but he adjusted and is doing fine. Colvin the league might have had a harder time to figure out, but he hasn't adjusted anything in his game. And probably will not adjust anything, he has always been an aggressive hitter who ignores walks and thats gonna bite him in the ass. You see Castro making the fine tune adjustments needed to be a major league hitter, you don't see that in Colvin.
Like with everything i have time to watch this play out. I remember being the sad lonely Dusty hater even when he was first hired. I knew eventually people would recognize what a shit hole of a manager he was. I can wait on the Tyler Colvin bubble bursting as well.
Re: Lou Piniella RANT
I am fairly certain that I didn't start complaining about Lee and Ramirez batting 3-4 yesterday. I know I've been complaining about Soto batting 8th since April, but don't let the facts intetrude on your rants, they're much more entertaining this way.
I love the "You're making these conclusions in hindsight, but I can see Castro is better than Colvin" bit too, that's classic.
As to the other things you said about Colvin - he's hitting for about the same isolated power as he has been all season. During July and August he's struck out less often (once per 4 PA's) and walked more often (oncer per 12) than he did in June and May (3.3 and 21) - so really you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
If you don't see the difference between Theriot and Castro's fielding, I don't know what to say. I can only assume you're not watching games. Going by UZR which you can find at Fangraphs - (which I am not a big fan of), it puts Castro at saving about 23 runs more than Theriot over the course of a season - and that's including his errors (but probably not the bad tags on SB's attempts).
Re: Lou Piniella RANT
Lol..Soriano is only having a good year, when compared to Lee and Ramirez....Soriano has stunk too for a good part of the season..
June: .234/.310/.468
July: .225/.271/.450
August: .188/.229/.375
Poor Alfonso..getting "buried" hitting 6th....and sucking it up too.
Re: Lou Piniella RANT
"...Tyler "one year wonder" Colvin?"
So, are you going to come back next year and give us the, "The Cubs haven't had any farm-team talent in thirty years..." rant MikeC?
Or will Colvin and Castro then become "TWO year wonders" in your view of things?
We are waiting with bated breath.
Re: Lou Piniella RANT
I'm far from sold on Colvin at this point. 313 OBP, and his stats have really went south since May. Sub 800 OPS in his Minor league career.
Ultimately I still think he ends up a 4th Outfielder.
Re: Lou Piniella RANT
Still too early to determine anything, imo.
Personally, IF he can get better command of the strike zone, I think he could start no problem.
Even as a 4th Ofer and I think, as AZ PHIL does that he will be playing more at 1B next year, he will be a productive MLB player for the Cubs or another team.
Re: Lou Piniella RANT
I don't know what's going to happen with Colvin - most of his recent issues have been from bad luck (read post above - ack no numbers anymore). To me the jury is still out, but he still looks like he's going to have more power than anyone expceted. If he can hit 25 HR's, play really good defense and walk and steal a little more, I can live with 170 strikeout seasons as a pre-arb player.
Re: Lou Piniella RANT
Because he is capable of playing 1st doesn't mean he should.
Although I do agree he will have MLB value. Even if its just as a 4th outfielder who can defend all 3 positions. That is really the value of Fukudome on an MLB roster today.

Re: Lou Piniella RANT
I liked Trammell's lineup card last night with five left-handed hitters starting. I liked it so much I actually watched the game from about the fifth inning on. I haven't been able to stomach half of very many games this year.
And then another lefty pinch hit and knocked in the deciding runs.
Maybe it's just me, but I've gotten worn down watching right-handed hitters lunge at balls breaking outside. (Well, Soriano doesn't lunge, he just stands up straight and misses.)
There's an easier way to deal with sliders thrown by right-handed pitchers. Just put a balanced lineup out there. Old-fashioned, I know.
The Giants have a nice bullpen but they seem to be mostly righties. I'm glad Trammell noticed. I think he managed a little better than his boss yesterday.

Re: Lou Piniella RANT
Woohoo! Fontenot traded to the Giants.
"The Giants acquired Mike Fontenot from the Cubs, according to Andrew Baggarly of the San Jose Mercury News (on Twitter). The Cubs will obtain minor league infielder Evan Crawford in return (Twitter link). The Cubs are in San Francisco to play the Giants, so Fontenot simply walks over to the Giants clubhouse."
We'll probably be shorthanded tonight unless they called up Barney earlier in the day just in case.
Crawford is an OF, not an INF. He's 21 and in A ball, hitting .255 with little power (although he does have 12 triples) and 108 k's in 442 ab's. 6'2" 167 lbs.
Re: Lou Piniella RANT
It's been fun, Little Mike!
Re: Lou Piniella RANT
Fontenot told the Chicago Tribune he's happy with his performance this year:
"Fontenot lost playing time in May when Starlin Castro was called up and Ryan Theriot moved over to short. (2nd base) He said he was happy with his performance this year.
"Yeah, there've been times when I wanted to get out there and play more," he said. "But I've always been a team guy. And things haven't gone the way we wanted them to... in the end, I feel pretty good so far this year."
He's happy with his performance? This is one of the reasons this team sucks, everyone is complacent with mediocrity. 0 hr, 12 rbi in 40 starts this season. .287/.331/.382 as a starter. The avg is the only acceptable thing. His defense was crap, as usual. .969 fielding percentage at 2b. .909 at 3b.
Re: Lou Piniella RANT
----- 6'2" 167 lbs ---------
you could fit two Fontenots into that. Sounds like a good trade.
Re: Lou Piniella RANT
Ramirez is now out, with a sore rib cage, and Baker is in. I think the order has been altered a bit too, with Baker in the 6th slot.
Re: Lou Piniella RANT
Man, with ARam probably not available or preferred to not have to PH, and being down a spot from the Fontenot trade, I would expect Crunch will see his favorite Z pinch hit tonight with runners in scoring position.
Re: Lou Piniella RANT
well they dont have baker/fontenot to leave on the bench so Z can flail around up there. im not sure if that makes it more likely or not.

Soler likely to return Sunday, Maddon says
Right now, I'd like to see the Mets first, Giants 2nd.
I believe that since most of the team from last years' NLCS is on the squad this year, they will really amp their game up even more to kick their ass in payback for 2015.
The Giants just do not have the depth in years past, and I think all things equal - and at Wrigley - they could handle them.
I do not want to see the Cards, period. Or their fans, media, or Joe Buck.
I don't want to play Braves in the first round. Any friggin team in the league can win 3 of 5..I hate the first round. Furthermore, I wanted to play the Marlins in 2003 and the Mets over Dodgers last year.
With that said in reverse order:
3. Cardinals: It will be devastating to lose in the first round, but even worse to their main rival. It is increased incentive for the Cardinals, especially after last year. Cards would have nothing to lose, Cubs have everything to lose.
2. Giants: Rotation in the playoffs scare me a bit, but what a lousy team.
1. Mets--because of the losses in the rotation
2. Giants--because they're not the team they were BUT they maybe have bullshit even-year magic?
3. Cardinals--because rivalry and not making the playoffs hurts them more than losing in the NLDS plus getting eliminated by them in the playoffs would make for horrible sports commentary next throughout next season.
Who's asking?
CLE/DET rained out last night already, possible rain-outs in New York (vs. Baltimore), Boston(vs. Toronto) and Philly(vs. Mets) this weekend too.
Not only games involving playoff spots that would need to be played, but any that involve home field advantage.
I got the first one! Second one I'm not even sure what even/odd betting is.

Lenore Skomal: 6 degrees of Erie reaches Caribbean
This is a true story. The names have not been changed because there are no innocent.
My sister is sitting at a nameless bar with her husband on an island in the middle of the Caribbean last weekend. A man walks in and sits down next to her. He looks at her. She looks at him. She has no idea who he is. He looks at her again, this time more closely. The first thing out of his mouth is, "Do you have a sister named Lenore?" She drops her beer nuts with a soft clatter on the bar top.
Of course, when she sent me a text photo of him sitting with her in this unlikely of places, it oddly made complete sense to me. After all, I've lived here long enough to expect this type of the unexpected.
This friend of mine, seeing my likeness in a stranger thousands of miles from home, just assumed we must be related. And of course, he was right. He's from Erie, after all, and it just made sense.
When my dumbfounded sister and I chatted afterward, I told her, "Quite frankly, you've been Erie-ed." But unless you live here, you don't know what that means. It's hard to wrap your mind around the freakish six degrees of separation that's so commonplace here, it's considered as normal as freak snowstorms in spring and french fries on salad.
Because these things happen in groups, I knew there was at least one more to come. So I wasn't surprised the next day when I got an e-mail from a Boston friend, telling me about a recent luncheon with her former college roommate. I think you know where this is going.
Yes, her former roommate's from Erie, just happens to be related to one of my best friends and also knows who I am because her mother sends her my column regularly.
This goes way beyond the belief that Erie is a city within a small town. It's quite simply, otherworldly. I believe we live in some vortex of sorts with this curious, potent magnetic field that continually draws us to each other, regardless of where we travel. Once painted with this aura, it sticks.
My sister's been to Erie only several times. But apparently, it's enough. Still rattled by the chance encounter, she will slowly get used to it, just as I have.
It's to the point where I just expect to run into someone from Erie wherever I go on this planet. I have yet to be proven wrong.

It wasn't just the vintage wood reindeer in the breakfast room at this year's Decorators' Show House that caught my eye. It was the single white rose the deer was holding in its teeth – as if the animal were about to break into the tango.
This is just one of the many touches that remind me how important details are to decorators. Earlier this week, I watched the progress as they prepared their rooms for this weekend's opening. Decorators' Show House, presented by the Junior League of Buffalo and The Buffalo News, opens its doors to the public Saturday through May 19.
I saw books positioned just so on tables. Paintings and accessories artistically arranged on fireplace mantels. Decorative birds placed here and there. Area rugs angled. Towels rolled. Pillows perfectly plumped.
Among the other touches (some of which you will see if you visit the photo gallery at www.buffalonews.com/galleries):
• Multiple mirrors as artwork. In the front foyer, Will Faller of Will Faller Fine Art & Antiques hung a collection of 17th to late-19th century European mirrors. In the dining room, Kristen E. Webb, of Webb Trading Co., explained that the small mirrors grouped together on one wall are Florentine mirrors, a popular collectible among tourists during the 1940s through '60s.
• Glass domes. These have been a trend for some time now, but they're a stylish way to display decorative eggs, seashells or, as designer Mark Taylor put it, "other little curiosities inside."
• Pillow power. You can spend your entire visit studying the pillows throughout this show house. The unexpected color combinations. The creative layering. The motifs – ranging from traditional equestrian themes to whimsical butterflies and bicycles.
• Seating at the ends of beds. Not everyone has a bedroom big enough to accommodate a bench or side-by-side stools at the foot of the bed, but this bed-and-breakfast touch looks great and comes in handy, whether you park yourself there to pull on your socks or use it as a surface for holding a tray with coffee and newspaper.
Leafy plants, flowers – and moss, of course. Whether it's an oddly shaped vase with a single stem or a large floor plant, you'll see how decorators use these to add color, texture and life to a space. One twist: In the dining room, calla lilies are arranged entirely inside a 16-inch-tall glass vase, the stems in an inch or so of water.
• Wall planters. In addition to mirrors, these are an alternative to framed artwork. You'll find them in several areas, including the modern-equestrian themed great room designed by room, the Hertel Avenue store.
• Towels at the ready. In the black, white and silver butler's pantry, Mary Terese Nasca took a silver oval bucket and arranged rolled-up towels in it near the sink. Such a simple idea but so attractive. Plus they're right in reach when the "butler" needs one.

The Moon Jumpers by Janice May Udry, illustrated by Maurice Sendak; HarperCollins ($17.95) Ages 4 to 8.
This 1960 Caldecott Honor Book containing some of Maurice Sendak's most dazzling artwork is back in print for the first time in more than a decade. This is a cause for celebration. Udry also wrote the marvelous picture book, "Mary Ann's Mud Day," and her lyrical ode to the magic of a summer night in childhood is a match for Sendak's lovely images, some in color, some black and white.
As night falls, down in the sandbox the pail and the shovel are left by the castle door. The owl wakes up, "the cat steps out and walks around the edge of the garden," and Sendak's double-page illustration reflects a landscape empty of activity, save the cat's yellow eyes staring up from the page.
As their parents are framed in the window safely indoors, four children, alias Moon Jumpers, explore the glories of the night, climbing trees, making up songs, turning somersaults, telling ghost stories and jumping, as "the balloon of a moon grows and grows."
Sendak offers children bathed in moonglow, dancing with abandon, or with droll, expressive outlines in simple black and white, a comical frog and giant moth.

Touch & Go by Lisa Gardner; Dutton, 400 pages ($26.95)
Lisa Gardner, the master of the psychological thriller, has delivered another tour de force with "Touch & Go," which exposes the raw nerves of a family imploding, and an investigator trying to escape her past.
Justin Denbe and his wife, Libby, return from a night out to discover intruders in their home. They witness their 15-year-old daughter, Ashlyn, being attacked with a stun gun before they are attacked as well.
The family is taken to a state-of-the-art penitentiary that Denbe's firm built but was never put into use. As they wait to learn their captors' motive, they struggle to be civil to one other. (Justin had an affair, Libby is addicted to painkillers, and Ashlyn has a secret boyfriend.)
Private investigator Tessa Leoni still lives with the aftermath of the horrible events that changed her life forever, as told in Gardner's earlier novel, "Love You More."
She is hired by Denbe Construction to investigate the family's kidnapping. Both Leoni and the authorities are surprised there is no ransom demand.
Why were the Denbes abducted? How do their kidnappers know so much about them? And is it possible for them to get past their grievances and escape from captivity?
Gardner does an amazing job of creating realistic situations and characters with emotional resonance. The constant surprises will shock even the most jaded thriller reader.
A character says early in the novel, "Pain has a flavor. The question is, what does it taste like to you?"
"Touch & Go" is the opposite of pain; it's a total pleasure.

Last November, the promotional rate on my Comcast Internet and digital cable service expired and jumped from a somewhat reasonable $70/mo rate to an ridiculously unreasonable $140/mo rate. We tried to do the Comcast cancel dance to no avail as the CSR said "I can't do anything" and we said "I want to cancel" and the bozos at Comcast actually let us cancel. Almost the same day, Verizon started putting in signs around the neighborhood advertising their new FiOS service, fiber optic right to the house, and we were intruiged. Talking to the Verizon folks at their booth, it appeared that their rates would equal the promotional rates of Comcast so we decided we'd live without Internet for a couple weeks until they got the whole thing setup. Well, as expected, Verizon still hasn't setup FiOS is our area so I've decided to sign back up with Comcast for their promotional rate.
So, how do you avoid that ridiculous $50 activation fee? Well, the activation fee is so that you have the pleasure of waiting at your home during a four hour window, where they will invariably show up an hour after the end of the window, just so the guy (or gal) can do one of two things:
- If you live in an apartment, he will unscrew your coaxial cable panel from the wall, and connect the cable on the inside with the jack, or,
- He will find the box outside, open it up (it's hardly ever locked), and connect it.
So, to avoid the $50 charge, just connect it yourself and ask for the self-install kit (please do not steal cable and do not trespass on their property, I'm not advocating or condoning the theft of services that you aren't paying for). If you have a cable modem, simply hook it up and try to open any website. A Comcast site will appear where you can download their installation CD software and you can do the installation yourself. If you don't have a cable modem, wait for the modem to show up before you do all of this. If you're patient, you can avoid the $50 fee but you can't avoid a phone call, and the 30 minute wait because somehow they are always busy and they never hire more CSRs, to Comcast to activate your service.
The benefit is two-fold – not only do you avoid the $50 fee, you get internet the day you start paying… not two weeks later when their technicians are able to pencil you in for a four hour window they stand no chance of making anyway.

That is when things went south and for good reason. Think. He was no longer messing around with the API, he was now poking at a known vulnerability. He was scanning the entire system for weaknesses. There are practical reason's that those scanners aren't run routinely, namely that they can cause massive and unpredictable problems with the system even if it's totally secure.

Congratulations and THANK YOU to our May Advocates of the Month: Tom Chelius, Sue Enright (West Bend Area Myeloma Support Group Leader), Dick Skalitzky and his daughter Shauna Skalitzky.
On April 27, 2011 the group along with many others participated in the Wisconsin Coalition for Cancer Treatment Access (WCCTA) "A Day at the Capitol." The lobby day took place in Madison where constituents from all over Wisconsin gathered to show support for the Oral Chemotherapy Access bill.
Tom, Sue, Dick and Shauna met with Representative Evan Wynn, Repesentative Jeff Stone, Senator Mary Lazich, and Representative Richard Spanbauer to request that each legislator sign on as a co-sponsor of the bill.
We asked each advocate to share his/her thoughts about the day…
Tom – "After saying our good-byes, I headed back to Milwaukee. I had never done anything like this before in my life. When I got home, I could only think of how glad I was to have done it…absolutely no regrets. I originally had wondered if I actually would have been of use, since I didn't have insurance coverage issue, but I now look back at the day, and think that perhaps I did make a difference, which will hopefully benefit many of my fellow survivors. Like my struggle with myeloma, it took a team effort and we worked wonderfully together. Let's hope and pray that Wisconsin becomes state number 12 to adopt this important legislation."
You can read Tom's full personal story about "A Day at the Capitol" in the next Myeloma Today. Also, be sure to check out an article written in the Milwaukee-Wisconsin Journal Sentinel online about Tom and his brother.
Sue – "A Day at the Capitol was an excellent opportunity to speak up on behalf of cancer patients. Our voices make a HUGE difference and the individual journeys our team members shared were invaluable. Some of the legislators we spoke with were clearly moved by these accounts, which brought about a positive and influential impact. If we want change, we must let our voices be heard!! I am grateful to live in a nation that allows us the freedom and opportunity to express ourselves by meeting with our legislators and to help make a difference in the lives of others. It is an opportunity we must never take for granted."
Dick – "It is amazing what can be accomplished by working together with fellow patients, caregivers, the IMF and other cancer groups to support legislation that will benefit all cancer patients and their families in the future. What we did in Madison really was a team effort and all of us felt that we had the desired impact on convincing our legislators of the importance of the Oral chemo drug parity law."

Buffalo rolled out the red carpet for its newest polar bear cub Wednesday.
But Kali's time at the Buffalo Zoo may be short-lived.
"As far as we know today, the decision is just to keep Kali here through the summer. I don't think they have decided where he will go next – that hasn't been determined," said Donna M. Fernandes, the zoo's president, referring to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which has ownership of the bear.
"We'd obviously like to keep him," she added later, "but that's not under our control."
The 5-month-old, 65-pound orphaned cub was recovered from his den in northwest Alaska at 2 months of age after his mother was killed by a hunter who said he was unaware she was nursing.
Kali arrived in Buffalo via UPS Airlines at 5:19 a.m., after a 14-hour trip from Anchorage that included a stopover in Louisville, Ky. The bear traveled in a stainless steel crate and was examined in Louisville by Buffalo Zoo veterinarian Dr. Kurt A. Volle, who found him to be in good condition.
The Saint Louis Zoo, which like Buffalo is about to build a new polar bear exhibit, is considered to have the inside track as Kali's permanent home.
Whatever the length of Kali's time in Buffalo, zoo officials were excited to about his arrival.
"I'm delighted to announce that Kali has arrived safely in Buffalo," Fernandes said, hours after showing up at the airport with a small delegation to welcome the cub, and minutes before signing a ceremonial waybill accepting the bear cub's custody from UPS.
"Obviously, Luna has become the darling of Buffalo, and we're really excited that she will have a playmate that she will be meeting very soon," Fernandes said.
As Fernandes spoke, the bear cub who is a month older and 15 pounds heavier than Kali frolicked in a pool of water behind her, in the exhibit that Kali will be introduced to in the coming weeks.
Kali attracted big crowds, too, at the Alaska Zoo, and will be missed, said Patrick Lampi, the zoo's executive director, who made the trek to Buffalo with the zoo's curator.
"There were long lines, and lots of giggling adults along with children having joy watching the cub grow and become more and more active," Lampi said. "This is the best thing for the cub, to be with another one to grow up and be active with and socialize with."
Kali will be kept in quarantine for a week to make sure he didn't pick up a disease or parasites while in the wild.
After that, Kali will be slowly introduced to the outdoor exhibit he is expected to begin sharing with Luna in early June.
Fernandes said the two cubs will be gradually introduced to each other until they are allowed full physical contact, with multiple spaces present so neither could be cornered. She said the process of introduction – which is usually more difficult with adults – has begun.
"They are already aware of each other, can smell each other and hear each other vocalize," Fernandes said.
Kali's arrival was made possible through the combined efforts of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Alaska and Buffalo zoos, UPS and M&T Bank, which paid for the bear's transport.
"We greatly appreciate the Buffalo Zoo for providing Kali's temporary home," said Kofi Fynn-Aikins, project leader for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. "Polar bears are integral for the marine environment and depend upon it for survival in the wild.
He noted how habitat and population decline resulted in the species being added to the "threatened" list in 2008.
Buffalo's new exhibit is being designed with orphaned bears in mind.
Because of global warming, sea ice is now melting earlier in the spring and forming later in the fall, putting more strain on polar bear mothers, who increasingly are unable to make it back to their dens from long fishing trips.
Kali will join Luna in helping rev up interest to close the $3 million gap that remains before bids can go out for the Arctic Edge exhibit in the target month of July, with construction then following after Labor Day.
The zoo's new $4 million entrance is expected to open July 1.

A person who refuses to live their life according to the prep mold (abercrombie, american eagle, Blink 182, etc.) and styles their own personality. They don't all wear black clothing, and they are not all outcasts. Most just don't want to be a dumb jock or pinhead cheerleader. Anti-preps dress and act how they want, not how the popular kids dress and act, but they can still be popular. Not all shop at the Salvation Army store. And above all, they are not anti-prep because they cannot find friends with the more popular, athletic, intelligent, and skillful people. In fact, there is no one on this planet who is all four of those things.
Anyone who thinks that anit-preps are losers should take a look in the mirror and see what mold they fit into. Anti-preps just break the mold.

The last name of a very hot and awesome guy. Usually has an equally hot brother. A great kisser. Likes bowling, and knows cars. A Salas is very handsome, and on top of that his personality is off the charts. Sweet, funny and sexy. Always a gentleman, a good friend. A boy you will not want your friends to meet, because he is just delicious. Other guys consider a Salas very manly and a definite threat. Can be found all over the world, but usually resides in Alaska or Illinois. A Salas is the guy a girl will always compare other guys to, and a Salas will always come out on top.

As we watch and listen to what is happening in Washington (and government as a whole for that matter, from the White House to the courthouse) an old saying comes to mind: "Ignorance is bliss."
God is kinder when he states that man is "ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth (II Timothy 3:7)." I believe our President confirmed this notion recently in one of his many foolish statements. In regard to the outlandish, criminal activity of the IRS, he stated, "I found out about this the same way you did as I turned on the news." God help America!
Either this President is the biggest liar to sit in the Oval Office (and we have had some liars) or he is the worst leader of any administration that our nation has ever seen (or maybe both). This president must honestly believe that the American people accept that ignorance is bliss.
The reason that ignorance prevails in Washington is because our government runs from God's word and principles like they are the plaque. In the same text I already quoted, Paul reminds the young preacher truth is found in the scripture he had been taught since a child. He reminds Timothy the scripture that led him to salvation through faith in Christ Jesus was also profitable in his daily life for instruction in righteousness, correct living and wise decisions (II Timothy 3: 15-17).
Our leaders would do well to remember that it is these founding truths that have made America different from all other nations. In America's infancy it was well established, as George Washington stated, "It is impossible to rightly govern a nation without God and the Bible." In fact he admonished other nations, "You do well to wish to learn our arts and our way of life and above all, the religion of Jesus Christ. These will make you a greater and happier people than you are."
William Penn stated; "Those people who are not governed by God will be ruled by tyrants."
So is America being ruled by ignorance or by tyrants? Whichever the case, we find lawlessness and foolishness to be prevailing throughout our government. We find the military rampant with sexual abuse cases. So what does our military do? They increase the presence of women in compromising positions with men by allowing them in combat operations. OK, do we need to explain the birds and the bees to our military and Congress? Why do they question the increase in sexual assaults? And then to add to the moral dilemma they also allow homosexuals to openly live among the troops. Obviously moral ignorance has overtaken our military.
Many other decisions being made by our government would call into question their intelligence or their motives. Why are illegal immigrants such a dilemma? The obvious problem is enforcement of current laws; illegal means criminal. So why are we discussing legalizing 11 million criminals? Maybe we are actually talking 11 million voters?
Why have the hearings on Benghazi focused on the text of a press release, which was obviously riddled with lies, rather than where the commander-in-chief was when Americans were being murdered?
Many in the Congress and in the financial market have presented viable and wise alternatives to our flawed and criminal IRS. However, Congress will spend many hours "investigating" the IRS and ultimately no changes will take place and no one will go to jail. Why not replace the IRS code with a simple flat tax and totally do away with the IRS? Again, it would seem that tyranny or ignorance prevails.
As Penn stated, when God and his word no longer govern our land, our nation will suffer. We are quickly moving from ignorance to tyranny! God's people must not allow this to happen. Parents, pastors and churches must be involved and speak out lest we lose all freedoms to worship and share God's word. If not, tyranny will prevail.

As a very occasional blogger, it has occurred to me that I have at times used this space as a sort of rant: a veritable digital soapbox where I can electronically shake my fist at "the powers that be" over the injustices that still too often plague our globe. While I still I do think that it is the duty of concerned Catholics to raise our voices – digital and otherwise – out of concern for the unfairness of this world – and especially for those on the margins – at this particular time of year I also believe that we should recall, and be grateful for, the many good things that we have in our lives. One particular perk that I'd like to give special thanks for is one I enjoy as a benefit of working in for the Justice and Peace ministry here at Catholic Charities: all of the great invitations I receive to some pretty wonderful events. There is one in particular I'd love to share a bit about that was held this past Monday evening.
As a result of the generosity of the Archdiocesan Office of Black Ministries, and the Pierre Toussaint Scholarship Fund here at the Archdiocese, as well as the group Allied Faith and Family and the Weinstein Group– – I had the opportunity to attend a private screening of the new movie: "Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom", which is not scheduled for general release until this coming Friday. The film itself was extraordinary, detailing the events from the equally extraordinary life of President Nelson Mandela of South Africa, from roughly the beginning of his public life up through his long imprisonment by South African authorities for his work in opposition to that government's Apartheid system of racial discrimination, to his release and eventual election to the presidency of that country after its first multi-racial free election. The picture, adapted from Mandela's own autobiography, is beautifully filmed with wonderful vistas of the African countryside featured prominently, and the subject matters that the movie touches upon – from repression to liberation to imprisonment and eventually to triumph – are profound enough to, I think, eventually have it regarded as an epic film. It is the personal portrait that it paints of President Mandela and his struggles with the leadership of the African National Congress and the Anti-Apartheid movement, however that I think are particularly noteworthy. Often times at the conclusion of a particularly great leader's life, accounts of their deeds are recalled in a haliographic fashion, where these great men – and of course women – seem to trod among ordinary mortals, ever assured of their convictions and ever triumphant in their efforts. This movie suffers from little of that: growing out of a hatred of the way that native South African people were treated in their own country, it shows Mandela early on as a man of justice who – despite his flaws and very human defects – undertakes a lifelong crusade to end the racially discriminatory practices of his country by using any means necessary, up to and including violence. It is only later on -during and after his 27 year imprisonment for his anti-apartheid politics where he loses just about everything meaningful in his life: his possessions, his family, even his limited freedom – that we witness President Mandela begin to change. Never giving up on the belief in the his own dignity and the dignity of his own people, Mandela gradually comes to realize that for all their power, his white oppressors lived in perpetual fear of their own minority status – their own ultimate powerlessness – and that it was from that fear that all of their actions were twisted into the atrocity that was Apartheid. It was during this period that Mandela's struggle became about more than just opposing white rule, and grew to be about affirming the human dignity of all. So much so that after his release from prison – when the country was on the brink of violent revolution – Mandela risked his reputation and leadership of the anti-apartheid cause, and the respect of his own wife, to appear on television to address his nation, declaring his forgiveness of those who had imprisoned and taken so much from him. His actions that night have been credited by many for helping South Africa to avoid a violent, racially polarized civil war, and to helping that wounded nation move toward a racially integrated healing. It is through such actions that President Mandela became more than just a man of justice for his people, but became equally a man of forgiveness and, ultimately – a man of peace. Thankfully despite recent illnesses, President Mandela's long life and example on this Earth is – as of this writing – not yet completed, but certainly the people of South Africa – and the entire world – should be grateful for the extraordinary example that his life is to all of us.
On the ride home in the cab that night – contemplating the movie that I just saw – I began to reflect on the incredible leadership President Mandela has given the world, and how lucky we are to still have him with us. I recalled many conversations I've had over the past couple years about Nelson Mandela, and what his life and example have meant for the world, and how often those same conversations had ended in lamentation over the dearth of world leaders today who demonstrate the moral courage, growth and gravitas that a President Mandela did. Smiling to myself, I recalled that I often would join in that same lamentation too – but no more! I strongly believe – as the old cliché goes –that "there's a new sheriff in town" – or, in this case, on the world stage – who possesses some of the self-same "gravitas" that Mandela does, and – just as the old cliché goes as well – he too wears a white outfit…but it is there the analogy stops. The person I am thinking of definitely does not carry – or even possess I'm sure – a Colt 45 and a round of silver bullets, and he is not a fictional hero come on the scene to save the day. Instead, he is a very flesh and blood septuagenarian who goes by the name of Francis.
There has already been plenty of ink spilled across newsprint – and bytes expended on the blogosphere – about our Pope Francis: about what kind of Pope he is, and about what his Papacy will mean to the Church and the world. I don't intend to render my opinion here regarding these matters. Instead would like to share with you just a bit of why Pope Francis moves me as a leader, and why I count his leadership of our Church as one of the particular things I am most grateful for in this season of thanksgiving.
A man of justice, from the very beginning of his papacy less than one year ago – when he announced the choice of his new name as the same as the "little poor man of Assisi" – Pope Francis has bound together the work of the Church with particular care and concern for the poor and suffering of this world, to the point that – in the birthplace of Saint Francis on his Feast Day this past October – he stated his desire that the Church truly be a "Church of the Poor". A man of forgiveness, Pope Francis just concluded the Year of Faith this past weekend on the Feast of Christ the King by recalling the passage in Luke's Gospel, where Jesus – hanging on the cross – addresses the Good Thief with words of forgiveness and not condemnation. Pope Francis reminds listeners that: "whenever anyone finds the courage to ask forgiveness, the Lord does not let such a petition go unheard." A man of peace, it should be remembered that back in early September, in the wake of the atrocity of the Syrian government's almost certain use of chemical weapons against its own people – when a military intervention by the United States in the civil war there was almost certain – it was Pope Francis who – while denouncing Syrian President Bashar al Assad's alleged use of chemical weapons – was almost alone among the world's leaders who drew attention to the question of whether military intervention would have a plausible chance of improving the lives of those in peril, as well as advancing the security of those who would "go to war in the name of peace". In response to the proposed military intervention, it was Francis who called the world to a day of fasting and prayer for peace in Syria and the Middle East. While it is scientifically difficult to measure the efficacy of prayer, we should recall that it was only AFTER that day of prayer and fasting – as well as AFTER Secretary of State John Kerry's off the cuff remark that a U.S. military response could be avoided if Syria agreed to open its chemical weapons program to international to oversight and eventful destruction – that a diplomatic solution to the crisis was considered and ultimately pursued. If as they say, the "devil is in the details" in this case – on this particular occasion – it seems that the Holy Spirit was in the gaff!
One a politician, the other a pastor: yet both men of justice, of forgiveness of peace. There is much in our world that we have to be grateful for, and certainly such witness to our Gospel values should be included among those things. During his lifetime, Saint Francis of Assisi was known for greeting all he encountered with the expression "Pace e Bene!" or – in English – "Peace and all Good!". Now I am not one to try to "one-up" great Saints, but on this one occasion if you will allow me permission, I'd like offer up "Pace e Bene e Grazie" – peace and good and thanks – for these two great men, and wish you and yours every blessing for a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Hedgesville gets defensive in 10-run win
May 12, 2013
HEDGESVILLE — Hedgesville coach Dirk Webb thinks his team can do great things if it plays great defense. Cody Butts would agre....
Hedgesville outplayed Musselman in every aspect of the game last night, including coaching. How many errors did the Applemen have, five? It was plug ugly. On the plus side, it was a pleasure to watch those masterful defensive plays by the Eagles. They alone were worth the price of admission.

It's easy to sit back and always blame the coaches. The last game I attended it WASN'T the coaches who stepped into the batters box or made the fielding errors. A coach can only TEACH the correct way to play the game, the player must then utilize that instruction to the best of their abilities. It's sad that no matter the outcome of any sporting event SOMEONE has to bash the coaches. Until you actually have coached a HIGH SCHOOL or higher level sport, keep your immature opinions to yourself.

Coaches can sometimes make a winning move and, other times, make a losing move. Who starts, who is where in the lineup, how long a tiring pitcher remains in a game, anticipating a bunt, making good calls on when to send or stop a runner--all these things, and more, belong to coaches. Last night's game was a strong win for the Eagles and that incl;udes the coaches.

Published June 13, 2013
David Gerber, UB Distinguished Professor Emeritus in the Department of History, has been honored by the Organization of American Historians (OAH) and the American History Research Association of China (AHRAC) with a 2013 China Residency.
Gerber will lead a week-long seminar that marks the first OAH venture into the People's Republic of China. This event, set to take place this month, is being held at the Northeast Normal University at Changchun, Jilin. It will focus on American social history, an area in which Gerber's credentials are exceptional. The seminar will cover American ethnicity and immigration law and policy, topics examined in his book "American Immigration: A Very Short Introduction."
"In addition to gaining insights into the most dynamic society in the world, I am most interested in learning how the work of the American historians has been conceived of by Chinese historians," says Gerber.
The recipient of the SUNY Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Teaching, Gerber has received several awards for his contribution to the study of American history. Among them are the 2008 Rita Lloyd Moroney Award for Scholarship in Postal History from the U.S. Postal Service for his critically acclaimed book "Authors of Their Lives: The Personal Correspondence of British Immigrants to North America in the Nineteenth Century" (2006, NYU Press) and the 2001 Carleton Qualey Prize from the Immigration and Ethnic History Society for the best article published in the Journal of American Ethnic History during 2000.
In addition, his book "The Making of An American Pluralism: Buffalo, New York, 1825-1860" won the 1990 Herbert Gutman Prize for the best book in American social history published by the University of Illinois Press.
Besides the opportunity to share his expertise with students and scholars from across China, Gerber will receive round-trip airfare, as well as per diem funding to cover living expenses.
Mazel Tov and congrats, David. I'm glad to see you are receiving
well-deserved honors. If you have time from your adventures and
come to Martha's Vineyard, I'll show you the island. Warm

KAHULUI - Maui shoppers snatching up bargains and taking advantage of Black Friday sales expressed mixed feelings Friday about retailers opening their doors on Thanksgiving and offering sales hours earlier than they have in the past.
"I think they should stick to the Friday opening. Five o'clock is fine," said Pukalani resident Lisa Kalawaia, as she waited in line for The Home Depot's doors to open at 5 a.m. Friday along with more than 100 other customers.
Kalawaia said she had to shoo people out of her home Thursday, as she and her shopping partners needed to head down to Kahului for Walmart's sales than began at 8 p.m.

Longtime friends Celia Shibata (right) and Joy Davis pause to grab some coffee after getting an early start to their Black Friday shopping at Queen Ka'ahumanu Center. The pair said they hit the mall looking for deals at 4 a.m. and had already been to their cars twice to drop off bags when this photo was taken around 8 a.m.

"I should do it at 9 (in the morning) for breakfast," Kalawaia joked of her Thanksgiving celebration.
Jennelyn Batistel, 20, of Kahului said she liked the early openings but not for the expected reasons. On Friday, she and her friends could leisurely shop at Queen Ka'ahumanu Center around 8 a.m. without bucking the crowds that likely massed for store openings on Thanksgiving evening and at midnight.
"It's better that way," Batistel said. "Better than being in the crowd (that is) going for something big."
Her friends, Marielle Ramos and Maria Eliza Cu, liked the earlier store openings for the same reasons. All three Kahului residents looked tired as they sat on a bench at the Kahului mall Friday morning. They began their shopping at Walmart at 4 a.m., then went to Sears, Macy's and Toys R Us Express.
This year, stores across the nation and on Maui opened earlier than in years past and ditched the normal Black Friday sales offered on the Friday after Thanksgiving and instead began their deep discounts early Thanksgiving evening.
Walmart staggered its Thursday sales, advertising one event that began at 8 p.m. and a second at 10 p.m.
People reported waiting at least a couple of hours to get into Walmart when it started its 8 p.m. sales. Others said the line to get into the big-box retailer spilled out and snaked around in its parking lot and reached the nearby Panda Express at 9 p.m. Thursday.
Sears also opened early at 8 p.m. Around 8:20 p.m. Thursday, there was still a large crowd of people waiting to get into Sears' doors.
Merlita Tiburcio and husband Jonathan said they were OK with the early store openings and said they waited for two hours in line at Walmart to snatch up $5 Barbie dolls, which were on special at 8 p.m. Thursday.
"Yeah, it's worth it," said Merlita Tiburcio, about the wait.
In fact, the two were back at Walmart again Friday morning, picking up more items, such as a camera for $449, down from $649, and a computer printer.
The Kahului couple said they went back to Walmart because they had just gone across the street to The Home Depot to pick up poinsettia plants for 99 cents each. The couple bought 30 plants that they had planned to take to Merlita Tiburcio's workplace, Hale Makua.
Even the last merchants at Queen Ka'ahumanu Center to open Friday - at 6 a.m. - were pleased with sales in the first two hours.
"We were packed," said Details Boutique owner Marla Mings of her store when it opened its doors Friday morning.
Unlike last year, Mings had a "supersale" and had everything in her store at 20 percent off for two hours.
As she looked at her totals, she said the store was already doing better than last Black Friday, with sales apparently up by about 20 percent.
Store sales have been up this year, Mings added. She said no one really talks about not being able to afford to buy things or the high cost of necessities.
"Everyone had a tough couple of years," she said of wading through the recession.
Mings added a line of plus-size clothes this year that has been selling well. Probably the hottest gifts in her store this season were the leather wrap watches and bracelets she has from London, she said.
At one of Ka'ahumanu's new stores, Pitter Patter, one of its owners, Ellyse Onishi, said foot traffic was steady for at least the first two hours of opening.
Onishi estimated that about 200 customers had visited the store that sells trendy shoes, Japanese character items, and other gifts and accessories.
Although sales were brisk so far, Onishi said: "We want more. Who doesn't want more?"
She said her top sellers so far were the Metal Mulisha backpacks and kids T-shirts. She also was running specials on girls and womens shoes. She said many of the specials will last all weekend.
Onishi's business partner and co-owner, Eryn Chun, also was in the store helping out along with another family member. The two women have another store at Windward Mall on Oahu.
Although Kalawaia didn't like the idea of having to chase family and friends away from their Thanksgiving gathering Thursday night, she was successful in getting her deal at 8 p.m. from Walmart - a $129 toy white BMW convertible car for her 4-year-old daughter to ride in. It was $76 off of its regular price.
As she waited at The Home Depot before dawn, Kalawaia said that she hoped to get a 7 1/2-foot-tall prelit artificial Christmas tree for $59. She said The Home Depot's staff passed out coffee and pastries as they stood in the dark for the store to open.
"They are awesome," she said before dashing into the store.
