Forum member Jörgemeister took the time to write up a nice in-depth review of the near-full-sized closed-back V-Moda M80 headphones.
Hollywood-based V-Moda are known for usually taking a bit of a style-over-substance approach to headphone design, but with the M80 they obviously got the sound aspect right as well – next to the flashy design with changeable ear pad covers and removable cables.
While one of their first products, the V-Moda Vibe (which I reviewed ages ago – back when I was young, stupid, and slightly less caustic in my posts) sounded nice for the median quality available back in the days, they certainly had bad build quality and durability issues. With the M80 however it seems that V-Moda tackled that problem as well, delivering a well built and flexible phone with quality materials.
Sounds interesting? Check out Jörgemeister's full V-Moda M80 review in the forums.

I think it's a bad move, no one is going to go see them, when they could see the Knicks. And with no Kidd, they can expect an average fan base of about 5,000. They should have stayed in NJ, a lot of the players don't like the move either.
I am almost certain they start playing there for the 04-05 season.

Fishing contest, boater safety and more
May 29, 2013 —
LAKE WALLENPAUPACK, PA — The Pocono Mountains Visitors Bureau held a press conference at the Lake Wallenpaupack Visitors Center on Thursday, May 23 to talk about the many outdoor attractions that the Pocono Mountains and Lake Wallenpaupack area have to offer.
Harold Luther from the sports outfitter Cabela's announced a nationwide fishing contest that will include Lake Wallenpaupack. This is the third year for the Fishing for Millions Contest, which began May 4 and runs until July 7. As of May 23, none of the tagged fish from Lake Wallenpaupack had been caught. The $1 million fish award is now down to $100,000. Luther said, "I don't know about you, but catching a fish worth $100,000 is still a good day of fishing." Every tagged fish is worth a prize, which includes a Ranger boat, a Chevy Silverado, Cabela's shopping sprees and gift cards and sunglasses. You must pre-register and be at least 18 years old. If you catch a tagged fish, take a picture of it, remove the tag from the fish (and release it if it's not in season or you're over the limit), then go to www.cabelas.com, and register your fish and Cabelas will contact you to let you know what your tag is worth.
Bob Plumb of the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission and local officer on Lake Wallenpaupack was there in uniform wearing a life jacket. "We want to help promote safety on Lake Wallenpaupack," he said. "We're trying to encourage people to wear their life jackets; that's why we're wearing our life jackets here today." He stated that an average of 80% of Pennsylvania boating fatalities involved people who were not wearing a life jacket.
New regulations that started last year require mandatory wear of life jackets for all boaters of all ages on boats under 16 feet in the months from November through April 30. But Plumb said they encourage all boaters to wear one even in the warmer months. Youth, ages 12 and under, must wear life jackets on all boats 20 feet and under. Lake Wallenpaupack is the busiest lake in the state with regard to boating traffic. "We want people to have a good recreation time, to get out and get away from your humdrum days," he said. "We don't want to see you having a bad time by losing a loved one by not wearing a life jacket." For more information, visit www.safeboating campaign.com.

The Phillies' signing of Delmon Young this offseason drew mixed reviews. Some believed his right-handed power was exactly what this lineup lacked and the modest one-year commitment carried little risk. Others felt that his poor baserunning, terrible fielding and lack of patience at the plate would hurt the Phillies far more than his potential power helped.
Player valuations are tricky because in addition to analyzing the player himself, the context in which he plays merits strong consideration. Young's value to the Phillies is partially determined by his own productivity, but also based on the alternative outfield solutions and their performance.
The Phillies' outfield has largely struggled this season. Even if Young's numbers were mediocre or worse, that mediocrity could represent an improvement. Phillies outfielders have hit a putrid .226/.290/.360 this season, with a below average fielding rating and -0.2 WAR. Only the Marlins' outfield has produced less overall, and with Giancarlo Stanton heating up, they might not be far away from besting the Phils as well. [Of course Stanton had to get hurt and ruin
my fantasy team this point].
Young is a better hitter than that slash line but it's also unlikely that Phillies outfielders continue to struggle at that rate.
What we're really interested in when looking at what Young can provide is whether or not he represents an improvement over what we expect Phillies right fielders to produce from this point forward. Under that guise it becomes more difficult to justify giving him the lion's share of playing time.
For starters, Young is a flat-out brutal fielder. No matter the advanced fielding metric, Young has posted poor numbers, and is better utilized as a designated hitter. Young claims his defensive issues are a result of his discomfort in left field, which is the main reason the Phillies are plugging him into right field. It's hard to imagine someone being terrible in one corner outfield post but league average or better in another. The positions just aren't that different.
He rates as one of the worst on the basepaths as well, and while fielding and baserunning are often written off by fans — or at least not treated with as much reverence as the more tangible offensive production — they have a material impact on the value a player provides to his team.
Putting everything together, look at the following two players from 2010-12:
Player A: .278/.311/.435, … 4.1% BB/PA … .156 ISO … 31.7 AB/HR … -16.7 UZR … 0.8 WAR
Player B: .257/.317/.446 … 7.7% BB/PA … .189 ISO … 23.2 AB/HR … 0.8 UZR … 2.7 WAR
On WAR alone, Player B has the superior numbers, and it's easy to see why. He has fielded his position much better, displayed more patience at the plate and connected for more power when the ball is put in play.
Player A = Delmon Young. Player B = John Mayberry.
It's understandable why some fans have gotten excited about Young. He was a former #1 overall draft pick and has hit 20+ HR before. But his overall game isn't impressive at all and the Phillies are already playing someone better at the same position.
While the Phillies outfield has struggled, Mayberry really hasn't, posting a .324 OBP and .476 SLG this season. He is swinging and missing more often, but good things have happened when he connects, and he has a very solid 11% walk rate.
Over the rest of the season, the ZIPS projection system sees Mayberry hitting .247/.305/.412, but if Charlie Manuel continues to platoon him and Nix, the numbers in right field will improve. Since Nix is already guaranteed a major-league contract this season — and that was a reason to get rid of Nate Schierholtz — the benefit of Young producing at the same rate as NixBerry in just one roster spot is moot.
The various systems at Fangraphs see Young hitting around .274/.313/.436 with poor defense and baserunning. All told, it's about a wash. Young could defy his projections and put up better than expected numbers as anything can happen over one season. But he doesn't figure to produce any more than Mayberry or Nix, and it's very possible he falls short of them if his defense really falters.
Young's projection falls well short of Domonic Brown's over the rest of the way as well, for those thinking the Phils could reduce his playing time in lieu of Mayberry's.
ZIPS sees Brown hitting .263/.331/.450 from this point forward but even his current slash line of .241/.312/.386 produces the same wOBA as Young's 2012 season. There is no clear spot in the outfield where Young represents a legitimate improvement over what the Phillies are currently using. The outfield has struggled on the whole but much of that falls on Ben Revere.
Young is a new player, and in his best-case scenario would help the Phillies from a relative standpoint. New players are often exciting, especially when juxtaposed against those who haven't necessarily lived up to their expectations. Fans also often develop opinions of new players based on the best-case scenario of production, assuming their team can fix his flaws. But new != good.
While the deal carried little risk from a years and dollars standpoint, it carries performance risk in the sense that both Ruben Amaro and Charlie Manuel likely view Young as an everyday player.
The Phillies' outfield has struggled this season, but not in the areas Young figures to play, and not enough for his contributions to represent even a relative upgrade. Here's to hoping that he tears the cover off the ball if pressed into an everyday role, but that the team understands overall value enough that he is given a fairly short leash as a regular.
25 Comments
Eric, this statement in the beginning of the posting-
"Phillies outfielders have hit a putrid .226/.290/.360 this season"
is a little bothersome to me because it is inclusive of the "putrid" year Ben Revere is having.
I don't know what the number would be if you removed him from it, but I bet it wouldn't be nearly as bad as it seems. One bad apple can spoil the whole bushel.
I'd like to see Mayberry given the opportunity to play CF with Brown and Young when he returns.
P.S. Stanton was placed on the 15 day DL, so the fish won't be catching up anytime soon.
It's not quite fair to remove the weakest link without doing the same with the other outfields, but taking Eric's numbers for the outfielders (which include Nix, Carrrera and Galvis), and backing out Revere, gives you .232/.306/.407 (.713 OPS, instead of .650). Better, but still 11th in the NL.
"Here's to hoping that he tears the cover off the ball if pressed into an everyday role, but that the team understands overall value enough that he is given a fairly short leash as a regular."
When he gets here he will play…but I have a feeling that his leash WILL be short. If he's a total defensive liability and really doesn't do that much at the plate to somehow balance that, then I think they will bench him or release him.
Mayberry is performing a little better than expected, hitting righthanders more than he ever has in the past. Brown performed extremely well in the spring and may heat up again. The Phils didn't really expect that kind of performance, which was one of the reasons for the Young contract.
Amaro has said that Young has to be able to field. At first I think he meant that he only had to be physically able to do it. But more recent statements, as I read them, anyway, seem to be more along the lines of "he has to play defense well."
I think he'll get a chance, but the front office says he's not ready yet, and therefore, I think his leash is getting shorter and shorter. If he makes the cut, I believe it'll be because he'll prove that he is an upgrade, not because they've got him under contract.
It's too bad Yuniesky Betancourt couldn't play OF…he now has 20 RBIs!
Down right sick with hearing about Nate! Move On!
Side note- How awesome is that we have a PLAYER in Galvis that can just about play every single position. And he costs the team next to nothing and is very young.
As long as his back is fine and he lays off the canseco juice- I am ecstatic that he's a Philly guy.
I am just hoping that Young will be released as soon as possible because I can't see him adding anything compared to Brown and Mayberry/Nix RIGHT NOW. And Mayberry and Brown still have the potantial to get better. The same cannot be said about Young,
For me Young will be alwas connected with the "I don't care about walks, I care about production" statement.
Well…ok….but let's see whether he can actually contribute enough before we start making statements such as "I am just hoping that Young will be released as soon as possible because….."
I mean if he actually produces enough offensively to be worth it and doesn't completely embarrass himself in the outfield….isn't that worth him being on the team???
Mayberry is 29. I doubt he has much "potential to get better." In fact, Young, at 27, would actually have two years more than Mayberry in which to improve.
Mayberry does draw walks and plays better defense, though.
You can look at projections all you want, there's no guarantee that those numbers will come to fruition! I'm looking at the right here/right now and Young has to be an upgrade offensively at this point. JMJ has been given so many chances to be an everyday player and just hasn't made it. Plus, the team needs a RH power threat behind Howard that they've sorely lacked since the departure of Werth and that will allow Ryan to see better pitches! If you are a major league manager with the game on the line in the late innings, do you pitch around Ryan knowing what the Phils have behind him now? Or does Delmon Young, especially if he can produce numbers like last year's ALCS, give you pause?
Salisbury reporting that Delmon Young has been activated and Carrera DFA'd
Ok…. so the leash is hopefully on and whoever is holding it better figure out what to do with it. Let the fun begin….
Since Cliff Lee had issues with Shane's defense last year, his relationship with Delmon Young should be downright fun to watch.
D Young is a .284 lifetime average over 7 FULL seasons…JMJ has not even come close to that with a .252 lifetime average with only one full season where he hit .245. Delmon Young had 16 assists in 2007 with 7 errors over 155 games. The next year he had 11 assists with 8 errors. 2010 12 assists with 4 errors. I have been a Rays fan for a long time and this guy came up through the organization and he has an excellent arm and seemed comfortable in right field. I think the biggest complaint I have about Young is he has a bad attitude and can check out from time to time, but I think Chase Utley will whip this guy into shape. He is in a contract year and will ball and is a huge upgrade over JMJ. The comparison over a very small sample size that JMJ even compares to this guy is complete malarchey.
I don't like his off-the field reputation, but let's forget about that for the moment.
1) There is obviously more to hitting than batting average, and whatever comprehensive stat you use (OPS and OPS+, or the more accurate wOBA and wRC+) in 5 of his 6 seasons as a regular he was a below-average hitter.
2) At the plate, there is not much difference between Mayberry and Young. They can both hit lefties, and aren't very good against righties. They've also each had a streak of bout 50 great games — Young in 2010, Mayberry in 2011:
51 G in mid-2010: 1.048 OPS
rest of career: .723 OPS
51 G in late 2011: .983 OPS
rest of career: .723 OPS
3) Errors are a really ineffective way to judge fielding, especially for outfielders. There is very little debate that Young is not a good fielder. Mayberry is not a great fielder, or base runner, but he is better than Young at both.

What Does Pure Michigan Mean To The Detroit Tigers?
Opening Day in Detroit is just a week away! To gear up for Tigers' baseball season, we asked some of the star players and coaches "What does Pure Michigan mean to you?"
See answers from Justin Verlander, Doug Fister, Alex Avila, Danny Worth and more in the video below, and let us know if you'll be heading to Detroit for Tigers Opening Day next Friday!
Learn more about the Detroit Tigers on michigan.org.
See Where You Can Meet Your Favorite Detroit Tigers Players (Plus A Giveaway!)
Spring is still a couple of months away, but it's never too early to start thinking about baseball season in Detroit! The 2013 Tigers Winter Caravanis set for this Thursday, January 24th and Friday, January 25th, where star players, coaches and managers will travel throughout Detroit and the state of Michigan spreading baseball fever. Members of the Pure Michigan team will be tagging along as well to provide fans live updates and behind-the-scenes info. See a full schedule of the tour here or follow @PureMichigan , @tigers or the #DETCaravan hashtag on Twitter.
To learn more and get the inside scoop on the Tigers, we spoke with announcer Mario Impemba. See his answers below.
Plus – we have a very special giveaway for one lucky Tigers fan in advance of the upcoming season. See details at the bottom of this post.
Q: Having been on the Tigers Caravan in years past, what are some of your favorite memories?
A: I would say traveling to Northern Michigan. The fans up north are very passionate about the Tigers and you can see it in the turnouts we have. I also think the visits we have made to local hospitals are very rewarding. Seeing the looks on the faces of patients when their favorite Tigers walk into the room is priceless. It's great to put a smile on someone's face when they are stuck in a hospital bed.
Q: What is it like calling games for a team that is very focused on bringing home a championship?
A: It's great. It wasn't too long ago when the Tigers lost 119 games in a season and to see how far the franchise has come in a short period of time is incredible. The 2013 version of the Tigers should be very good and I would expect that there will be a lot of buzz surrounding the team when we get to Lakeland for Spring Training.
Q: How do you see that passion to win resonating into the fan base?
A: Tigers fans are some of the most passionate in baseball. You can see how badly they want to win a World Series. When the team isn't doing well, they get very upset. They expect a lot out of their team and I would think this season will be no different. Everywhere we go on the road, Tigers fans are visible. They travel well and support the team as well as any major league club.
Q: Last year the Tigers drew 3+ million fans to Comerica Park. What is it like calling a game when the ballpark is packed, and how does it change the game?
A: Well, it's a different feel, that's for sure. We call a lot of games on the road where crowds are small and not very loud, so when we return home to 40,000 people, it makes a world of difference. There is just more energy at Comerica Park and it makes calling the games much more enjoyable.
Q: What makes up a perfect day at the ball park?
A: No rain! Ha-ha. Actually any day at the ball park is perfect for me, but the Sunday day games are the best because you see so many families with kids out at the park. Kids also get to run the bases after the game on Sundays.
Q: What is your favorite Detroit memory?
A: There are too many to pick just one. My favorite memories professionally include calling Justin Verlander's two no-hitters, Magglio's home run to send the Tigers to the World Series in 2006 and the champaign celebrations that I have covered in the Tigers locker room after clinching.
Personally, it was watching the Tigers play at old Tiger Stadium when I was a kid.
Q: What does Pure Michigan mean to you?
A: A 75 degree summer night in Detroit at Comerica Park watching Tigers baseball.
Detroit native Mario Impemba enters his 11th season as the popular play-by-play announcer on FOX Sports Detroit's coverage of the Tigers. Learn more about Mario at at MarioImpemba.com or on Twitter @Mario_Impemba.
To help spread baseball fever even further, we're offering one lucky fan the chance to win a Tigers World Series flag (pictured left), which measures 2 1/2 feet wide by over 7 1/2 feet long. To be eligible to win, simply tell us in the comments section below what you think makes up a perfect day at the ballpark. Please also include your email address. Comments must be submitted by this Thursday, January 24th at 12:00 p.m. (noon) ET. We'll then select one lucky winner at random as the winner and will alert the winner by Friday, January 25th using the email address provided (we won't share it or sell it to anybody).

SULLIVAN COUNTY, NY — Winning a Section Nine track and field championship is a monumental achievement, an honor most schools have never laid claim to. Thus it is with the utmost reverence and awe that one regards the consecutive dominance of the Tri-Valley girls in Class C and the Eldred girls and boys in Class D who, with this week's title wins, have run their streaks to seven, six and five years respectively.
For the T-V girls their seventh title was a fitting sendoff to their beloved coaches Joe and Missy Iatauro, who are retiring in June. Missy, who coaches the girls, was enshrouded by an immense group hug after the Lady Bears dusted Onteora 194.5 to 148.5.T-V was led by a trio of gold medalists abetted by a profusion of others who garnered points by placing in their events: Mareena DiMilia won the 100 hurdles (15.73) and the shot put (37-2.25). Colleen Jones took the discus (106-4), Katlynn Greffath won the high jump (4-8). Though T-V's win was the big story of the day, honors went to others including Fallsburg's Candhace Forrest who won the 100 (12.73) and the 200 (27.05).
Epic performances by Sullivan West freshman Courtney Meyerer resulted in second place finishes in the 400 (61:40) and in the 1600 relay (4:21.28 which she ran with Rosa Martinez, Megan Robisch and Erin Sumfleth. She also took third in the 800 (2:28:51). The Lady Bulldogs were fourth in the meet among 12 competing Class C schools. It was the swan song for Dani Myers, whose career at SW has been an epic one.
Meanwhile, the day before Eldred's girls buried second place Chapel Field 216 to 158 while the boys beat CF 216 to 125. Kayla Maas won the 3000 (12:10.80). The Lady Yellow Jackets won the 3200 relay (11:34.61) behind the combined efforts of Sara Jane Drewett, Selena Hudak, Jessica Davis and Maas. Melissa McMonagle won the pole vault (7-0). Livingston Manor's Ami Calo claimed the high jump (4-5) and the triple jump (33-2.75). Teammate Katherine Ellis won the discus (68-3) and the shot put (27-4.5).
Eldred boys who were victorious included Doug Leek in the 100 (11.68) and the 200 (23.73) as well as the 110 hurdles (17.63). Peter Vorstadt won the 400 hurdles (66.00) and the long jump (18-11). Jared Leon claimed the 3000 steeplechase (12:14.16) while Julian Gottlieb won the pole vault (11-0). Eldred's Andrew Halloran, Dylan Wolff, DeLeon and Gottlieb captured the 1600 relay. In the Class C boys meet, Tri-Valley finished second to Dover. Winning Bears included Zach Nilsen in the 400 hurdles (58.06), Aric Boyes in the shot put (47-4) and Aidan Woolsey in the pole vault (11-6). Gavin Dubois won the pentathlon with 2,269 points. Josh Winters won the non-scoring javelin (151-1). Sullivan West's Mitch Paciga took the 110 hurdles (16.27) and teammate Anthony Rydell won the discus (135-9). The Class B boys meet featured an attempt by Monticello to garner its first-ever Section IX track and field title on the heels of capturing their fourth straight Division III title. Unfortunately, they fell to New Paltz 195 to 157. Terry Duncan won the 200 (22.70), while Shane Jackson claimed the 400 (50.32). Duncan, Mistah Alli, Rahzel Smith and Trevon Rainey combined to win the 400 relay (45.09). Monticello got a big day from senior Mike Rogers who claimed third in the pole vault with a lifetime best 12-6, third in the 400 hurdles and fourth in the 110 hurdles.
In the Class B girls meet, Monticello was fourth. Port Jervis was third. Rondout Valley was victorious. Port's Kalissa Caesar won the 100 (12.67) and the 200 (26.30) and ran a leg in the winning 400 relay. Winning Lady Monties included Laura Doherty in the 400 hurdles and Yami Reyes in the non-scoring javelin (86-3).
In baseball, defending Section IX Class C champion Tri-Valley defeated S.S. Seward 7-4 in an opening-round fray behind the fine pitching of Alex Brown. The Bears advanced to take on top-seeded Chester on the road on May 28. In boys golf Sullivan West's Drew Billard qualified for states for the first time with his fifth place finish at the Section IX tourney. He fired a 12 over par 156. Boy's states are at Cornell University on June 2-3.
In girls golf, Fallsburg's Danielle Stratton qualified for her third straight state tourney (June 8-9) at SUNY Delhi with a 186. Teammate Madison Levine missed the cut for states by one stroke at 193. In softball, Sullivan West traveled to Spackenkill for an opening round in the Class B tourney.

Didn't find the coffee table you were looking for?
Shop for a wide assortment of coffee tables - from classic to handcrafted - from our other brands.
Classic Coffee Tables at Pottery Barn Luxury Coffee Tables at Williams-Sonoma Home
Handcrafted Coffee Tables at Rejuvenation
A well-chosen coffee table from west elm's extensive furniture collection combines form and function, serving as a useful surface for everything from morning coffee to the evening news while creating a focal point for any living space. A stunning marble-topped pedestal coffee table on a spun metal base is a durable option that has an elegant sophistication yet is sturdy enough for people to put their feet up if they want to. Tiered coffee tables bring home decor to a new level, creating interest with surfaces at varying heights. When choosing the table, consider the available space carefully. Round tables take up less room, and if they have a glass top, they help to maintain a sense of spaciousness, even in cramped surroundings. Console tables have a range of purposes, providing additional storage solutions, and making a welcoming first impression for guests when situated in the entrance hallway with a mirror and some flowers. It is also possible to use a console table to create a home office, bedroom vanity or home bar with the correct accessories.
For homeowners requiring additional surfaces for when guests come to call, side tables are an obvious solution. Nesting tables take up little room but are always on hand for providing an extra surface for a game of cards or a coffee morning. Terrace side tables are another great space-saving option, using several levels to maximize the surface area while maintaining a small footprint. Any of these products helps to make a space more useable for everyday living and special occasions.

Who is the Red Sox Fan talking to?…
You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me?
Julia (of Julia's Rants, or who I like to refer to as the one who will soon be wearing a pink Yankees hat) has called me out!
One week from today, the Yankees will begin a three-day weekend series against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park.
Boston Globe
This represents the Great Showdown III between Julia and me. We are 1-1 counting the two games in spring training (Showdowns I and II).
It is her birthday weekend so I suppose she can have a victory on Saturday sandwiched by Yankee victories on Friday and Sunday. The perfect solution! It works for me!
Courtesy New York Post
Julia detailed the stakes of our latest wager on her Friday morning blog entitled "One Week". Here is an excerpt:
In summary our wager is:
1.Which ever team loses the series, that blogger needs to put up a Logo from the other team for that Monday April 27th.
2. The losing blogger will also need to write a positive blog about a player from the winner's teams. (Much like we did for our preseason wager.)
3. Mark Newman, our fearless leader, has sweetened the pot with the following offer:
I will offer to throw in an MLB PRO BLOG template that day to sweeten the deal so that either Julia is a Yankees Pro Blogger or Scott is a Red Sox Pro Blogger. I also will offer to create an Honorary one-person category in that next week's Latest Leaders showing off your new blog colors to further deepen the pain. hahahaha
In 1923, the Yankees opened the original Yankee Stadium, the House that Ruth Built, with a four game series against the Red Sox. What was the result? A four game sweep by the Bronx Bombers! It is now 2009 and the year of a new Stadium. Can history repeat itself? Absolutely! Julia, I am sorry that you'll be so disappointed on your birthday weekend but you'll look great in a pink Yankees hat! J
Speaking of being victorious, the Yankees provided the first home win at the new Yankee Stadium today with a 6-5 win over the Cleveland Indians.
One of these years, Derek Jeter is going to begin showing his age. This is not the year. DJ provided the winning margin with a solo home run in the 8th inning, breaking a 5-5 tie. It was a day of Yankee solo home runs as Johnny Damon, Mark Teixeira, Melky Cabrera and Robinson Cano each connected with no men on base.
John O'Boyle/The Star-Ledger
Joba Chamberlain struggled and only made it into the 5th inning, surrendering 5 runs, with 5 walks. He struck out four. One of the hits was a home run by Mark DeRosa. I am sure that all hearts in New York stopped when Joe Girardi opted to reach into the bullpen. Fortunately, Phi Coke and Jonathan Albaladejo did their jobs before turning it over to the stellar duo of Brian Bruney (the winner, 2-0) and the great Mariano Rivera (3rd save). The Indians did have a man in scoring position in the 9th, but Mo struck out DeRosa to end the game.
Ah, the sweet sound of Frank Sinatra…
"Start spreadin' the news, I'm leaving today
I want to be part of it: New York, New York
These vagabond shoes, are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it: New York, New York…"
I have purchased the ticket for my first game at the new Yankee Stadium. I will be attending a game during the early May series versus the Los Angeles Angels. Fortunately, the cost was only of the double digit variety. Of course, that probably means the view won't be great, but this trip will be all about experiencing the sights and sounds of the entire stadium.
I am excited and looking forward to the trip. I have seen a number of the newer Stadiums so I am anxious to see how the new Stadium makes me feel when I first see it, breathe it, smell it, and touch it. I distinctly remember my first trip to the old Stadium in 1987, and the chills I got as I realized I was on hallowed ground.
I am also headed to Manhattan next week for a few days, and have successfully scored tickets to the Late Show with David Letterman.
It should be a lot of fun! This will be my first visit to his show (or any talk show for that matter). Other priorities include pizza in Greenwich Village and dessert at Serendipity 3!
Outside of Letterman, as you can tell, this trip will be about the food! Mmmm…
- The Yankees returned reliever David Robertson to AAA Scranton and recalled first baseman Juan Miranda as insurance for Mark Teixeira and Hideki Matsui (who has been limited to pinch-hitting due to pain in his knee). What? Did Joe Girardi forget how to spell Veras or Marte when he was trying to decide who to ship out?
- Congratulations to the Seattle Mariners' Ichiro Suzuki for breaking the record for most hits by a Japanese player. He broke Isao Harimoto's record of 3,085 hits. I attended a game in Seattle the year Ichiro set the single season Major League record for hits, and he was amazing to watch (you can see it on TV, but it's more magical in person).
- The San Jose Sharks lost Game 1 of their NHL Western Conference play-off series against the Anaheim Ducks, 2-0. The Ducks successfully shut down the Sharks' power play. When Joe Thornton and Patrick Marleau get only one shot, you know you're in trouble. It was the first time that the Sharks had been shut out at home this season. Game 2 is Sunday. Hopefully the Sharks will get back on track. Don't they know I have a showdown waiting against Julia and the Bruins?…
Have a great weekend!

Hi Scott – this is She who will NOT be wearing a Pink Yankees Hat soon – enjoy your win today – because in a week YOU WILL NOT BE SEEING ANY! Your boys are coming to OUR house and to borrow a phrase from the New England Patriots (You know that football team who has won more Super Bowls then say – oh – The Vikings!) – "We Must Defend Our House" – so Game On! And can you lite a fire under your Sharks! I am so looking forward to having my Bruins beat another of your teams!😉
Have a wonderful trip to NY! What night are you going to be at the Letterman Show? And enjoy the fine dinning; I'm sure your have a great time!😉
Julia (The pink RED SOX hat wearing fan!)
Scott – I noticed you failed to mention how Wally will be spending a week with Lou sitting at his feet when your Yankees lose! Thought you'd want to know!😉
Scott, when you go to Serendipity, you MUST have one of their famous Frozen Hot Chocolates if you've never had one. Dee-licious. Here's hoping Wang will get it together today!
That bet seems like an interesting one.. I do hope the Yanks repeat history, lol..
About Jeet.. I'm going to continue to enjoy games like yesterday, when he shows off the clutch player that he is, but boy.. I cringe at the fact that he will one day no longer be the ballplayer we know him as..
You're going to love the stadium.. Though some things [in my opinion] will not please you, it's beyond beautiful =)
– V [ http://flairforthedramatic.mlblogs.com ]
Wang made it through an inning and a third? I have got to drop him from my Fantasy team! He's killing me!
Now, understand I'm only a neutral observer, Scott…but, ahem, have you checked the scoreboard (or Fox) at SOME point in, oh, the last HOUR or so??
I mean, 15-2 Cleveland…and we're only in the 3rd inning, Scott!!! Never mind I'M still frothing over Joel Hanrahan blowing yet ANOTHER save opportunity today (and watching the Nats lose in extra innings…AGAIN!!!).
I feel for you, man. I really do. (And you can tell "She Who Will Be Watching The Capitals Hoisting the Stanley Cup"…GO HABS!!! LMAO)
Of course, that's only IF the Caps can get their heads screwed on right, that is…do me a favor, and stay away from me the rest of the day, all right?? I'm NOT having a good day, you know?? LMAO
Say hi to Dave for me….LOVE him! Maybe he can talk some sense into the Yanks pitchers too…ugh! Rough week for us all I think.
Hope you have a great time at the game! I will probably got to a couple of games later this year. Living in Jersey is convenient! Anyway, I just can't believe what happened today. 22-4? I just don't get it.
shortporch htpp://shortporch.mlblogs.com/
JANE – Yes, I've had the Frozen Hot Chocolate, and I will have it again! I am looking forward to the visit to Serendipity 3. I could use a Frozen Hot Chocolate right now to forgot about today's debacle…
V – DJ's career has gone so quickly. It seems like he was just an 18-year-old from Kalamazoo. It will be sad when he hangs up the cleats.
JULIA – If it were me, I'd drop him. He has never been a great fantasy pitcher, and of course, right now, he's not a great major league pitcher. I guess it depends on who you can pick up on the free agent wire or swing a trade for.
GARY – I am definitely looking forward to tomorrow. I've had enough of today! LOL!
JENN – Wang's a disaster right now, and I don't know what it will take to get him back on track. His starts put an incredible amount of pressure on A.J. Burnett. So far, Burnett's been great, but that has to be tough.
SHORTPORCH – I don't get it either…
Scott – It's a Wang Thang! That's gotta be it…otherwise, you may need Swisher to pitch again!

Different Risks to Bikers In Bumper to Bumper Traffic of Los Angeles
Cars, especially during rush hour, don't always pay attention. Motorcycles are usually two wheeled vehicles like a Ducati, Harley Davidson, or BMW, that will usually eject the rider in a high, or even low speed crash. This poses a different risk than a four or three wheeled conveyance. We realize that most rider injuries happen near the bikers residence, and occur at intersections with only seconds for a rider to react.
Typically, a passenger car makes a left hand turn, forcing the biker into a head on crash with the side of a vehicle and launching the rider into the air. Close calls are standard for bikers and not normally the rider's fault. Even pads and helmets do little to protect the motorcycle riders in a freak accident.
Rider experience is also a key factor, however, most accidents take place within 5 months of owning a newer bike, irrespective of how long a biker has been riding. The mischief arising out of these collisions isn't the same as that suffered in an enclosed passenger car with seat-belts and airbags. Injuries can vary from ruptured discs, road rash, a serious brain injury, or even result in loss of life. Because we have vast knowledge of tort laws, we can help guide you through the legal quagmire that other attorneys either don't have the time, or the desire to take.
The Statistical Dangers of Riding In Los Angeles County
Statistics show a chance of a smash up are great in the geographic area of LA. [1. The Hurt Report 1981] Riders don't have a chance against the four wheeled, steel beasts we call automobiles.
This is because, for example, a "safe" speed and not the posted speed is what is required for a responsible driver. Another example would be a roadway defect, or foggy conditions, or cases where the sun is in the car driver's eyes, impairing visibility.
These conditions would require extra care and caution when driving on the road, like pulling over to the curb when safe, or driving slower. If not, the driver could cause a smash up or serious spill onto the roadway, or into a curb or fence, vehicle, or other inanimate object. You need comprehensive info on dealing with the insurance company, and indemnification.
Get Legal Advice Now!
At Ehline Law Firm PC, our staff of seasoned motorcycle lawyers Los Angeles, offer free phone consultations to injured tort victims, and litigate surface street and roadway spills throughout. Valuating damages claims is just part of what we do. We have recovered gigantic sums of money for tragically harmed individuals.

These damages can also include, monetary recovery for mental and physical pain and suffering.

Battlestar Galactica (TOS)
From Battlestar Wiki, the free, open content Battlestar Galactica encyclopedia and episode guide
(Redirected from Original Series)
The original 1978 premiere of Battlestar Galactica was the show that began the saga of humanity's survival against the Cylons.
Introduction and Concept
The original Battlestar Galactica television series premiered on the ABC television network on September 17, 1978. One of the most spectacular television programs ever produced, Battlestar Galactica ran only a single season but has retained an active fandom to this day.
Battlestar Galactica (also known as the Original Series on this wiki to differentiate it from its Re-imagined Series counterpart) was created by Glen A. Larson. The show concept gradually evolved from an earlier project titled Adam's Ark. Although Larson had first proposed Ark in the late 1960's, it was not until 1978, after the success of Star Wars, that interest in the show developed.
Production History
Initially envisioned as a series of TV movies for ABC, which would consist of a three hour premiere and two additional movies of two hours in length[1], Battlestar Galactica was ultimately developed into a regular television series. The "first seven hours" of the series, consisting of "Saga of a Star World", "Lost Planet of the Gods", and "The Gun on Ice Planet Zero", was reported to have cost–"at over one million dollars an hour", according to Galactica's publicist, Joe Santley–over $7 million dollars[1]. However, this figure is contradicted by Richard Colla, who revealed that the budgets for the three-hour pilot were nine million dollars alone, despite the fact that it was sold to ABC for 1.8 million.[2]
To defray costs, the three hour premiere was re-cut as a theatrical release. Several weeks before the TV series premiered in America, the series pilot appeared as a two hour film in Canada, Europe and Japan. Opening on July 7, 1978, the theatrical release did quite well, given modest expectations.
The three hour Galactica pilot first broadcast on ABC on September 17, 1978. For the next eight months, 17 original episodes of the series were aired, totalling 24 hours of broadcasting.
Episodes of Battlestar Galactica
During its single season, the series went through a few phases, as the Fleet got farther away from the Colonies, and closer to Earth. After the initial series pilot, where the Fleet visited Carillon, the next stop was the mythic planet Kobol where the ancient birthplace of humanity was found. Together, these two stories established the mythos of the series.
Next, there were a series of episodes where the Colonials visited lost colonies such as Equellus, Proteus and Antilla.
In the middle of the season were some two part episodes that established foils for Commander Adama with the introduction of Commander Cain and Count Iblis.
Then, there were some episodes that focused on the life of the Fleet, focusing on characters such as Chameleon. This was followed by a series of episodes based around the Terra arc.
Lastly, the Cylons, who had been absent for awhile, were reintroduced in the final episode of the series.
Opening narration
There are two different opening narrations, both narrated by Patrick Macnee, who portrayed Count Iblis and was the voice for the Imperious Leader during the series' run.
The opening narration to "Saga of a Star World":
The opening narration used starting from "Lost Planet of the Gods, Part I":
Closing narration
The closing narration was voiced by Lorne Greene and began in the episode "Lost Planet of the Gods, Part II":
"Year Two"
In recent years, Glen Larson's son, Chris, discovered various memorabilia from his father's personal collection. In addition to packets for the official Battlestar Galactica Fan Club, he also came across a treatment for the second season of Battlestar Galactica. In the treatment, many changes were proposed, including the reduction of the cast size, the addition of Issac Asimov as a story and science consultant, and massive character changes.
While it is uncertain as to whether this document ever made it to Universal Studios, the document does shed light on the origin of various concepts introduced in Galactica 1980. These concepts included the human android Cylons, the concept of Boomer being Galactica's executive officer, and the character of "Troy".
Cancellation and Rebirths (of a sort)
Citing declining ratings and cost overruns, ABC canceled Battlestar Galactica in April 1979. Its last episode, "The Hand of God", was broadcast on April 29. Fans were generally shocked to find the series canceled as viewership was reasonably robust. However, after some years, some fans believe that ABC pulled the plug on the show after ratings began to drop after network executives ordered changes to storylines that resulted in a less appealing, "family oriented" format, as well as a distaste for the show and desire for more profitable fare. Some fans were more philosophical, believing that a continuation series or revival was possible, as it was for shows such as Star Trek and Night Gallery.[3]
After the series's cancellation, the pilot was edited together into a new theatrical release, with certain scenes trimmed or edited out completely. This release is notable for the incorporation of the Sensurround enhancement system first introduced in the film Earthquake in 1974, and is considered by most critics as perhaps the only film where the technology was used properly. It was, in fact, the last of only four films ever released in the US to feature Sensurround.
Special effects shots from the series were reused in the low-budget 1988 film Space Mutiny, which later had the dubious honor of being mocked on Mystery Science Theater 3000.
A news story in fandom was reported on the suicide of a 15-year-old boy named Eddie Seidel, Jr., who jumped 200 feet from a bridge out of despair of the series' cancellation.[4]
A series spin-off did appear some months later in the form of Galactica 1980. Despite initially promising ratings, the show became victim to questionable writing that was heavily influenced by science fiction clichés. The show was generally panned by critics and fans alike (with the exception of its last episode). Galactica 1980 was canceled after only 10 episodes.
Despite three attempts over the years to launch a continuation motion picture or series (the Battlestar Atlantis project from Glen Larson, the Battlestar Galactica: The Second Coming project by Richard Hatch, and the studio-endorsed Singer-DeSanto project), it would be approximately 23 years later before Battlestar fans would see a new series, but as a reboot, or "re-imagined" version where the central theme remained, but a far darker storyline and significant character changes that would introduce a new facet in the Battlestar universe.
Original Series fans also enjoyed new stories (which generally ignored Galactica 1980 plotlines) in several novels and comic books. As of 2007, Dynamite Comics publishes an Original Series comic as well as several comics based in the Re-imagined Series continuity.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- When the Dalai Lama arrives in Minnesota this week, he'll be greeted by the second largest Tibetan community in the U.S.
They'll be lined up along Mississippi River Boulevard in St. Paul Friday when the Buddhist leader arrives at the official residence of presidents of the University of Minnesota. They'll be present at several campus events during the weekend, as well as at a special audience for local Tibetans Saturday at the University of St. Thomas.
The Minnesota Tibetan community is estimated at up to 3,000 people, second only to the New York area's estimated 6,000 to 7,000.
The Dalai Lama will attend two public events Sunday at Mariucci Arena. One will be a ceremony promoting personal and societal healing. He'll also speak on "Peace Through Inner Peace."

I take 10,000 mg. every night and do not get the virus. If I feel like the virus is coming on, I take 10,000 mg. at bed time and next day 1,000 every hour. Feel great. It is also good for the heart

You may create and submit an FY15 Enrollment Summary and Ceiling Calculator on IWAS. When submitting Part I, you must confirm that your district has uploaded complete and accurate English language learner (ELL) student data on the SIS.
After March 3, 2014, EL student data will be extracted from the Student Information System (SIS) to generate your district's FY15 funding allotments for TBE/TPI and the Title III LIPLEPS and Immigrant Education Program. SIS data will be used to populate attendance center summaries and generate funding allocations in Part II of the FY15 application. Once this information is populated, it cannot be changed, so it is important to review your SIS data carefully.
The TBE/TPI and Title III Application (Part II) will be available on IWAS on May 1, 2014. It must be submitted to ISBE by June 30, 2014. For more information on the application process, please view the Division of English Language Learning webinar at: http://www.isbe.net/bilingual/htmls/grant-resources.htm .
Student Information System (SIS): Data Used for FY15 Funding Allocation
Multiple data elements are used to calculate district funding allocations. As you are reviewing your English language learner (ELL) student data on SIS for your FY15 Enrollment Summary and Ceiling Calculator, please pay close attention to the specific data elements listed below:
- LEP indicator - Select "Yes" for all students who are ELLs
- Class Periods Provided Per Week –Provide accurate periods of service for every ELL student. ELLs with Moderate and High levels of services are included in the TBE/TPI funding formula. ELLs with Low, Moderate and High levels of services are included in the Title III LIPLEPS funding formula.
- ELL Placement Entry Status – Provide accurate enrollment information for all English language learners. Only students with a placement of TBE-full time, TBE-part time and TPI are considered in the TBE/TPI and Title III LIPLEPS funding formulas. Students with a placement of Parent Refusal, Returning, or Other/Alternative will not be included in the funding calculation this year.
- Eligible for the Immigrant Education Program indicator: Select "Yes" for every student who meets the eligibility requirements for the Title III Immigrant Education Program. Eligible immigrant student means a student, ages 3-21, who was NOT born in any of the 50 states, the District of Columbia or Puerto Rico, and who has been attending schools in the U.S. for less than three full academic years.
Applications for Summer Migrant Education Services Funding Available

Recruiting Visiting Teachers From Spain for the 2014-2015 School Year: Meeting Reminder
The Ministry of Education in Spain and ISBE are sponsoring a teacher-exchange program whereby English-speaking teachers come to the United States to teach for three years and then return home. These teachers cover many of subject areas—but the chance to have a person from another country "in residence" in an American school is a valuable opportunity for the students, staff, and community. Visiting teachers from Spain have the appropriate state license and an International Visiting Teacher license with a bilingual endorsement. Districts interview and hire visiting teachers in much the same way that they hire American teachers.
The visiting teachers make a one to three year commitment to teach in the United States provided that the school district agrees to rehire them. Participating districts employ these teachers in accordance with local regulations and policies. Teachers are paid according to their experience and certification level.
ISBE tests the candidates' language proficiency and verifies their qualifications for an International Visiting Teacher License.
Visiting Teachers have at least three years of experience. The 45 teachers hired in 2013 to work in 13 Illinois school districts are highly qualified to teach early childhood, elementary, middle and high school that may include areas such as special education, ESL, math and science.
Districts interested in learning more about the Visiting Teachers Program may attend a meeting in person or by phone.
Please RSVP by January 17, 2014 by calling Jorge Berne at 312-814-5696 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com .

A wreath for the Pond Eddy Bridge
May 19, 2012 —
About 50 people gathered at the Pond Eddy Bridge on May 19, to bear witness as members of the Tusten, Highland, Lumberland VFW Post #6427 marched onto the bridge, which is also named All Veterans Bridge, to drop a wreath from the historic structure into the waters of the Upper Delaware River below.
The movement to save the span, which was built in 1904, is gaining momentum, as officials in New York are questioning the wisdom of spending nearly $5 million for a new super-highway-like bridge that will serve only about 12 families on the Pennsylvania side of the river.
One of the rallying cries from those urging to save the bridge is that Pennsylvania officials should do the right thing, and build a road to the tiny, land-locked community, and restore the existing bridge, rather than tearing it down. The residents in the community, and officials in Shohola, PA have been clamoring for a new bridge for years, because the old bridge can't accommodate large emergency vehicles or large trucks.
A significant environmental and economic concern has to do with blocking the flow of the river. According to Glenn Pontier, member of Friends of the Pond Eddy Bridge who is spear-heading the movement, plans for the replacement bridge call for the construction of a temporary causeway that would block and divert the flow of the river for up to two years, and boaters going downstream would have to leave the river at the causeway and portage around the causeway.
Because of the environmental concern, Catskill Mountainkeeper and the National Resources Defense Council have joined the cause.
Supporters are organizing what they hope will be a much larger rally and floatilla on August 4 , to further awareness of the cause. Go to http://savethebridge.tumblr.com/.
the bridge WE use on a DAILY BASIS
All, but ALL, of the energy being generated to save the bridge comes from people who enjoy its aesthetic but do not NEED it to get to home. Having lived here (and there are way more than the '12' of us popularly but falsely asserted) for 20+ years, I have followed the bridge saga from an intensely necessary perspective. PennDOT has taken decades to wade through incredible paperwork and interminable studies to see what was feasible for us to have safe passage home.
I was once also in favor of saving the then beautiful bridge. Unfortunate but true, it has now deteriorated to such an extent that PennDOTs assertion that replacement is the viable alternative is an obviously sound one. Studies as to all alternatives have gone on for over two decades. Now that action is finally to happen it seems people who do not live there nor need the bridge would like to go back to square one.
For 20+ years we have had no fire nor other emergency services. Currently we cannot even get winter heating oil delivered and must carry it in the backs of our cars on public roads. Horror accident waiting to happen with a simple rear end collision. This matter is urgent and I pray that the fully considered actions for replacing the bridge move forward before there is a truly dire event that makes everyone regret their delays and quibbles.
Yes, the bridge was cool, I surely thought that when i bought my home way back when. Now it is unsafe and a nightmare. I would wonder who would give up their modern car and ride in a buggy behind a horse because it is 'historical' and 'charming'. I suspect not one of you who is against a new bridge for us. I would not wish any of this on any of you who drive into your driveways, happy to arrive home and never considering what a pleasure and blessing that actually is.
