August 28, 2013 —
BETHEL, NY — The Stray Cat Gallery on Route 17B will hold an opening reception for a new exhibit, "Quantum States of Light," featuring the work of Joan Nicole and Nick Clemente, on Saturday, August 31 from 4 to 7 p.m. The show opens on Friday, August 30 and runs through Wednesday, September 11.
Nicole uses the medium of glass to play with light in the literal sense, employing its properties of reflectivity and translucency as well as color and texture. Using glass as a painter uses a palette, she creates mercurial designs of uncommon vibrancy and lucency.
Clemente's experimentation with light occurs on a more symbolic level. His works reflect his ongoing interest in Eastern as well as Western cultures, and an exploration of image-making media as "casting light" in a figurative sense, as a tool for creative transformation, and a way to awaken inner vision and aesthetic awareness. The two artists are partners and live together in Sullivan County.
Gallery hours are Tuesday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Visit www.straycatgallery.com [1].

Balsamic Pork with Fennel, Arugula and ParsnipsNovember 2008
Pete Bakel may have won the Rachael Ray show's second annual "Hey, Can You Cook?!" contest with his fancy Beef and Scallops Three Ways dish, but he proved he could please just as many mouths when allowed only five ingredients.
Makes: 8 servings
Prep: 10 mins
Bake: 30 mins
- 3 parsnips, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 bulb fennel, cut into 8 wedges each
- 2 1 pounds pork tenderloins
- 1 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 6 1/2 ounce bags arugula
- PREHEAT THE OVEN TO 425 degrees . On a baking sheet, toss the parsnips and fennel with 3 tablespoons olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Rub the pork with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and place on the baking sheet. Roast, turning once, until the pork is cooked through, about 25 minutes. In a large skillet, boil the vinegar over medium-high heat until reduced by half; transfer to a bowl. In the same skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat; add the arugula and cook until wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Slice the pork and place over the arugula. Drizzle with the sauce and serve the roasted vegetables alongside.

Breaking in as a first-time director in episodic television is never easy. It takes talent, persistence, and a helping hand. We interviewed some recent newcomers to see how they got started.
Karen Gaviola learned her craft as an AD and has now directed almost 100 TV episodes. For her, it's all about exercising different muscles.
With rapid-fire dialogue and complex visual schemes, The Newsroom was no easy assignment for director-producer Alan Poul and his team of directors. But no matter how big the stories, it's always about the characters.

With hundreds of extras, elaborate stunts, and numerous locations, the directorial team on the cop show Blue Bloods has plenty to think about. Making sure the subway is running on time is the easy part.
Working at a breakneck pace and with creative solutions, directors have made the everyday humor and documentary style of Modern Family seem like real life—only funnier.
Greg Yaitanes has directed 30 episodes of House, M.D., more than anyone else. Along the way he has streamlined shooting and coming up with creative solutions to production problems--right up until what might be his last show.
Two directors--Tom Cherones and Andy Ackerman--helped make Seinfeld one of the most influential shows of time.

The Quarterly brings together six of the most accomplished sitcom directors to discuss the creative and commercial side of making funny shows.
Capturing the intense emotion but limited movement of therapy sessions in HBO's In Treatment presents a challenge to the show's directors. Here's how they solve it.

As David Chase's 80-hour tale of crime and punishment comes to its grand finale, we look at the contribution of its unsung heroes-the directors.
With TV getting bigger, better and more competitive, pilot directors have a lot at stake.
It's not just about balancing books. UPMs on one-hour episodic television have to be nimble balancing a multitude of duties. And the job's not getting easier.
Few television shows enter the public awareness as brazenly as HBO's The Sopranos. Directors Timothy M. Van Patten, Henry Bronchtein and John Patterson discuss their experiences on the show.
The directors of Sex and the City, in its sixth and final season, bare all.
The verdict is in on Judging Amy, and the show is guilty — of being a television show that treats the issue of on-time script delivery as a serious mandate.
This HBO hit has brought the concept of working without a script into the TV mainstream, transforming its creator and star Larry David from the man behind the genius of Seinfeld to the butt of every self-inflicted joke on camera in Curb.
Many cinematographers said it was impossible to film multi-camera before a live audience. It just couldn't be done. But that was not a phrase in Desi Arnaz' vocabulary.

A Wandering Mind…
A few days ago, our favorite She-Fan, Jane Heller, mused on her blog that she had let her mind wander, and it was a dangerous thing. Not only did that give me a good chuckle, I was reminded of this comic strip from Calvin and Hobbes:
Well, that's the way I feel today – my mind is wandering, and right now it hasn't come back (and my husband might argue that it never will). So until some substantive news comes out of the Phillies training camp, I guess I'll just have to let you know where my mind has been lately.
First, baseball cards. Yeah, the new ones are all shiny and slick, with amazing action photography, or portraits worthy of a magazine cover. Yawn. What I really like are some of the cards from years past, the ones showcasing a really bad hair day, or that just made you wonder.
This card of Gus Zernial has always been one of my favorites, ever since I saw a picture of it as a kid, in a book called The Great American Baseball Card Flipping, Trading and Bubble Gum Book. Now there's a mouthful!
Gus was an outfielder for the Philadelphia A's at the time of this photo. He also played for the White Sox and Tigers during his career. The back of the card notes that Gus "tied the major league record for the most home runs in 3 straight games with 6 circuit clouts and hit 7 in 4 straight games to tie the American League mark." So of course I wondered why the photo only had six balls stuck on the bat, and not seven. More is better, right?
Also, though it might be hard to see here, Gus is wearing an obviously pink t-shirt under his uniform. Pink? I didn't think that was too popular for men back in the early 1950s.
I was lucky enough to meet Gus at a book-signing in 2007, sponsored by the Philadelphia A's Historical Society. So of course I had to ask him these two questions that had been burning in my mind for years. As for the 6 vs 7 balls, he explained that the day he tied the mark with six homers in three games, a photographer set up this shot (the balls are actually scotch-taped to the bat). Then of course in the next game he hit another homer.
And the shirt? Gus had had to do his own laundry, and a red item had gotten in with the t-shirts, turning all of them pink.
This particular card of Oscar Gamble always cracks me up (I'll try to refrain from the obvious Mickey Mouse references, but there, I've said it anyway!):
Oh, the questions in my mind! What would his hair look like fully unleashed? How many sizes too large was his cap, in order to accomodate all that hair? And what a nasty case of cap-head he must have had at the end of a game!
Earlier this morning, I was browsing around mlb.com, and came across a story about a book of batting lineup poetry, called Complete Lineups. I admit that I'm not much of a poetry fan, and I can't say that the excerpts cited did much to inspire me to buy this book. How, exactly, is this poetry?
Pope, ss
Keats, 2b
Shakespeare, cf
Milton, 1b
Spenser, rf
Chaucer, 3b
Jonson, lf
Yeats, c
Donne, p
They are all apparently great British poets, by the way. But it did remind me of an actual lineup from a co-ed softball team I played on during my tenure at a "major pharmaceutical company", as they always say on game shows (Why can't they ever actually say where they work? I guess it's considered free advertising or something.)
The top of the batting order was always this:
Go ahead, say it out loud. It just doen't sound good, does it? I swear, though, that these are actual people I once worked with.
Well, I better go try to round up my mind. Be a mind-wrangler, if you will. And maybe I'd better build it a corral.
(Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson, Universal Press Syndicate)

Okay – you are bad today!😉 My boys LOVE Calvin and Hobbes; but really who doesn't! And – what do the Brits know about baseball! I was strolling through a used book store today and found this great book of really random baseball trivia! I'm going to start including some in my blog!
That is awesome you got to get those answers as I was thinking many questions when I started looking at that card! What an interesting photo and thanks so much for sharing. I really love it when I can find a good story like that.
Julia – Calvin and Hobbes was my favorite. I was so bummed when it ended. Random trivia is always fun! I'll be looking forward to tidbits in your entries.
Tom – it is a funny card, isn't it? In good condition they actually go for quite a bit on eBay ($70-80!). This one is a bit worn so I got it for a lot less.
Love the Calvin and Hobbes lead in! I, too, was bummed the day the sledded off into the sunset. Great post!
My mind tends to wonders all the time. Happily, it tends to wonder towards good information.🙂

Cops ticketing in seat belt crackdown
[adrotate group="9″] NEWS-LEDGER — MAY 25, 2012 —
The West Sacramento Police Department announced last week it will participate in the statewide "Click it or Ticket" campaign this summer to target seat belt scofflaws.
The department promises to "help save more lives by strongly enforcing seat belt laws around the clock," in the campaign that runs May 21 through June 3.
A ticket for a first-time seat belt violation costs $142.
Fifty-one percent of the people killed in auto crashes nationwide in 2010 were not wearing seat belts at the time they were killed, said the department.

Dogs invited to 'Bark for Life'
By Steve Marschke
News-Ledger Editor
It was a sunny, yet blustery, day on May 5 as about 70 dogs and their owners converged on Dave Vierra's pumpkin patch in Southport for West Sacramento's inaugural "Bark for Life" event.
This is the second year that West Sacramento is participating in a "Relay for Life" fundraiser for the American Cancer Society, but the first time for the dog-centric "Bark for Life" event.
"We had about 68 people who registered ahead of time, and another five or so in person, and we had over 70 dogs," said organizer Julie Huber. "My husband, Rory Huber, designed a commemorative T-shirt and we gave that out and an event program. The mayor (Christopher Cabaldon) came out and did a welcome speech."
[adrotate group="7″] Then came the dog walk, on a track around the farm property.
"Next year, if we do it again at Dave's, we're going to have both a short route and a longer route. The bigger dogs want something more than a short route!" said Huber.
The registration fee was $10, and a lot of participants also collected pledges for the "Relay for Life" cancer-fighting fund drive. The event is more poignant this year, said Huber, because the founder of Relay for Life, Dr. Gordy Klatt, has himself just been diagnosed with stomach cancer.
"We raised over $6,000," reported Huber.
The event featured vendors, a police dog demonstration by Officer Roger Kinney and "Zar," a visit from firefighters, and contests such as ""smallest dog" and "best costume."
On June 23-24, the local "Relay for Life" chapter follows up with a 24-hour walk-a-thon for teams of humans. The event was held its first year locally in 2011, at River City High, but it will move to the track at Our Lady of Grace School this year.
"For the Relay, you commit to raising $100," said Huber, who is a captain for one team. "If you have a team of 15 people, they expect your team to raise $1,500."
Teams keep someone walking the track at all times for 24 hours straight.
"The theory behind 'Relay' is that cancer never sleeps, so we don't sleep for 24 hours."
Last year's local "Relay for Life" event raised around $60,000. Other local events are held elsewhere around the country.
Sponsors of this month's "Bark for Life" event included host Dave Vierra as well as Wag Hotels.

Simon J. Cooper grew up on a farm in rural Donegal, Ireland, and spent his time avoiding farm work, digging for dragon skulls, and daydreaming about the kind of characters and worlds he now turns into stories.
When his family moved to England, Simon fell in love with County Derbyshire, (you should go there,) and ale! It was there, at age eighteen, that he embarked on a quest for the meaning of life. This led to becoming down and out in both London and Paris, and three years philosophising in Lancashire, and a lot of other unprintable stuff, great and awful.
Finally, he found an answer, his own at any rate, and got lucky, and married, in Northern Ireland, which is where he lives now with his wife, two children and a dragon – sorry, dog.

The note was waiting for Jermichael Finley when he returned home that Sunday night.
I'm glad you got off the field, his 5-year-old son Kaydon had written. Because that hit looked nasty.
The Green Bay Packers tight end had suffered a concussion during the team's Sept. 22 loss at Cincinnati, absorbing a hit from Bengals safety George Iloka that he'd later say wasn't dirty. It was just football.
And that was the problem.
The next night, Finley was putting Kaydon to bed when his son turned to him with concern in his eyes.
"He said, 'Daddy, I want you to stop playing football,'" Finley recounted Wednesday afternoon, as the Packers prepared for Sunday's game at Baltimore. "It was one of those things where you're like, 'That's crazy that a 5-year-old would say that.' The violence, the intensity of the game … "
Finley's voice trailed off. He hadn't watched the PBS documentary League of Denial on Tuesday night, but he didn't have to. As an NFL player, he lives football, and he knows the risks the game poses to his well-being.
"I get calls from my grandma all the time," Finley said of the woman who raised him, Clara Mitchell. "I tell her I only want to play 8 to 10 more years, and she says, 'Boy, you need to quit this dang game.'
"That's the thing. I know the risks. But family members that care about you, they see it from a different perspective than we do."
Then, Finley puts himself in that point of view when it comes to Kaydon. His feelings are clear, which is why he didn't need to hear Boston University professor of neurosurgery Dr. Robert Cantu – the co-director of BU's Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy (CSTE), and a senior advisor to the NFL Head, Neck and Spine Committee – deliver what might have been the most compelling line of the entire two-hour Frontline report: That his recommendation would be that no child under the age of 14 play football because of the dangers the sport poses to their still-developing brains.
"All the side things that come with being a professional athlete, not just a football player, but a professional athlete, period – you've got people worshipping you, the money, the fame – are great. And, I really do love the game," Finley said. "But with him … I don't know about football. And, he doesn't know about football – and that's the good part.
"Right now we've got him in soccer, tennis, and he plays flag football at the YMCA. And that might be as far as he'll go. The thing is, where is it going to go next in the next 10 years, when he is playing at a higher level and he's going to really strike people? I don't think my son will play. He's really intelligent; he knows when I'm hurt. He doesn't forget anything."
There is no more experienced dad in the Packers' locker room than veteran defensive tackle Ryan Pickett. The oldest player in a room of youngsters – he turned 34 yesterday – he and his wife Jennifer have six children: Daughters Esther (9), Abigail (8), Lydia (5) and Phoebe (1), and sons Ryan Jr. (6) and Caleb (2).
Like Kaydon, Ryan Jr. is playing flag football and can start playing tackle football next year – and can't wait.
"I'm playing now. I can't afford to worry about concussions. That's part of the risk of the game. But when you think about it for your kids, it's different," Pickett said Wednesday. "I watch my son, and it's tough. Do I hold him back from playing? No. But I hope they get something done to make the game safer.
"My wife and I talk about it. My thing is, I don't want to hold my sons back if they want to play football. My son loves football. He carries a football with him everywhere he goes. He watches it all the time. That would be taking away a big part from him because he can't wait until he gets to the age where he can play tackle football. I'm going to let him, but I hope they can make it safer for him."
Finley acknowledged that he could face the same decision with his son, too. For now, he's holding out hope that Kaydon falls in love with soccer or tennis. If not, he has one more option.
"If it gets to a debate, I won't go that far with him. But I'm going to show him the nicks and bruises that I have," Finley said. "I'm going to remind him, 'Do you remember this (injury)? Do you remember that?' Those things stick with him. I'm doing it because I love him, I'm trying to make a living. I've been doing it forever, my whole life. I don't want him to be like me."

IAJE Day 2 - Esperanza Spalding

Hope is the thing with feathers. That's what Emily Dickinson wrote. Then again, Emily never left her bedroom, which sounds pretty hopeless. She never saw a moor, nor the sea. And she would not have gone to an Esperanza Spalding show, like I did this morning.
I always ask musicians I know for the scoop on who's coming up. Joe Lovano told me about Esperanza. I checked out her MySpace page, but I had not seen her live.
Her quartet featured Otis Brown Jr. on drums, Leonardo Genovese on piano and Fender Rhodes, and Jamie Haddad on percussion. Esperanza plays bass, and she sings.
Here are two songs about lost love, from two very different times and attitudes.

Venus is key to understanding what the early Earth was like during the late Archaean and early Proterozoic when precious resources were formed. While modern Venus is in a quiet state most of the time, is does enter into short periods of intense volcanic activity where the old surface of Venus is destroyed and a new one is created. In its early history when life evolved, Earth worked in a similar way to modern Venus.
Ghail will present his research, "A Venus Analogue of Catastrophic Mantle Overturns on Precambrian Earth," at the Earth Systems Processes conference on Wednesday, June 27, in Edinburgh, Scotland. The Geological Society of America and the Geological Society of London will co-convene the June 24-28 meeting.
Ghail's research has focused on understanding how Venus works during its
prolonged quiet state. (But there is still considerable activity during these relatively quiet periods.)
"I realized that there is a similarity between Venus and the early Earth because both situations involve buoyant lithosphere (unlike modern Earth, which is able to subduct its
lithosphere)," he said. "I will argue that, from the evidence from Venus, the early Earth did not have modern plate tectonics, but did have something that looked similar to it, which explains the confusing evidence from the geological record."
Ghail will also assert that since this situation is unstable on Venus today, that the early Earth was the same way. Geologic evidence such as bursts in continental growth and some apparently global outpourings of komatiite (very high temperature) lavas support this idea.
His presentation is an assimilation of his and other scientists' varied observations which explain several unanswered questions in the geology of the early Earth.

I believe most Aus RL clubs are financially supported by huge not for profit, multi million dollar turnover members clubs which gives a huge advantage for clubs both financially and accessing their community.
has there ever been the same model used in UK sport? I cant recall any, not even in other sports.
If so, are there any existing models and if not, why did they fail?
Seems to me that these membership clubs are a great example of clubs engaging with their community.

Let's say you have a typical, reasonable condition, not-seized muscle car Holley or Rochester Quadrajet. The bodies of these carbs are green chromate-finished zinc; the throttle bodies are natural aluminum. In my old carburetor shop (now closed) we would remove the throttle plates, choke plate and all shafts and fittings before cleaning.
For your own sake, remember that I'm presenting this information only for reference purposes – you must use your own judgment and be sure that you are aware of any hazards present if you're going to try any of these operations. Some of the chemicals and procedures used below are dangerous and are for professional use only. 'Nuff said.
Here is a typical cleaning sequence for a fully disassembled carb:
- Degrease: I use lacquer thinner, gunwash grade. This stuff is flammable and you don't want to breath the vapors. Use caution. An overnight soak followed by a thorough brush cleaning is sufficient. Use a wood-handled bristle brush, not a synthetic one (they will fall apart). Work outside or in a fume hood.You can also use commercial carb cleaner. If your cleaner contains dichloromethane or tetracholoroethylene (2-layer type cleaner) DO NOT soak aluminum parts any longer than necessary. They will corrode if left overnight. Many bike carbs and SU's have been ruined this way.
- Air dry thoroughly and blow out with air. Wear eye protection.
- Acid soak. I use a commercial metal cleaner which consists of mainly phosphoric acid and detergent. Soak for a couple of minutes until fizzing is evident and 'white rust' is removed. Don't overdo it or your carb will be destroyed! If you don't have this cleaner or you aren't restoring the chromate finish later, you can use vinegar instead. It won't attack the finish as fast, but will remove crud with a bit of brushing. Again, don't overdo it.
- Rinse thoroughly in hot running water.
- Air dry and blow out very thoroughly. The carb must be bone dry for the next step. Bake in a 200 F oven for half an hour if unsure.
- This and the following steps are only performed if you're going to restore the original chromate finish.
Glass bead: One way to get the carb down to bare, shiny white metal is to bead blast using very fine (#8) beads. Use clean beads and do the carb inside and out until it's a shiny silver color. Use a blast cabinet and wear breathing protection.
- Blow out thoroughly with a high pressure blow gun – a 'safety gun' isn't powerful enough. Wear full-face and eye protection and hearing protection and be thorough.
- Acid rinse: Using a fresh batch of the same type of phosphoric acid/detergent as above, immerse the zinc parts of the carb only for about 30s or so. Aluminum parts don't need this step, though they can be cleaned this way – no more than a few seconds exposure, or they'll go dark on you.
- Rinse very thoroughly in hot running water until all signs of fizzing are gone.
- Immerse in the chromate solution for the appropriate time (see below). This is the trickiest part, since it depends on the concentration of the solution, the temperature and on the type of carb – not all zinc alloys are the same. I will say more about the chromate solution below, but for now, suffice to say that it's dangerous, expensive and tricky to use. You can immerse both zinc and aluminum parts for corrosion protection, though only the zinc parts will pick up the green colour.
- Rinse thoroughly in COLD running water until all traces of coloured chromate solution are gone. Hot water will wreck the finish at this point.
- Air dry. Blow out with clean compressed air, thoroughly as before.
If everything is done right, the zinc parts of the carb will be an iridescent olive-green colour, just like new. Be warned though, it's tough to get it right.
If you're doing a backyard resto, you can stop after step 5. Usually, it's best not to remove the finish (step 6) unless you're going to redo the chromate. So, I would stop after the vinegar rinse if that's the case. Now you can invest in a can of Eastwood carb finish and spray the carb. It'll look OK from a distance, and even better when the hood is closed.
About the chromate solution
This consists mainly of chromium (VI) oxide (aka chromium trioxide) dissolved in water with a bit of nitric acid added. These are dangerous chemicals in untrained hands!
If you want to try, you can obtain the chromate mix (solid) from Atotech. Minimum quantity is 100 lbs – enough for a lifetime. Follow the mixing directions and prepare a solution of about 30 g / L of the solid mix in water. Add about 1 mL / L of concentrated nitric acid.
With this solution, it takes a 10 s soak for a typical Holley or Rochester carb to form the chromate coating, OEM style. The picture above shows a 1970 big-block Quadrajet that was refinished using this procedure.
As I said, this isn't really practical or advisable for most people.

That means the use of water is severely restricted. This is the first time restrictions that serious have been in effect in Beeville in years.
That means residential customers can only water their lawns and gardens on the days that the garbage trucks from Republic Services are in town to empty the trash toters.
Also, yard watering is not allowed at all between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., when the summer heat increases the evaporation rate.
No person may allow water to run off their property into the street or storm drains, and no customer may allow water to flow constantly through a hydrant or valve.
For commercial customers, yard and garden watering is allowed only on Tuesdays for properties east of Washington Street and on Thursdays for properties west of Washington Street.
Car washing also is limited to the days that yard watering is allowed unless the person washing the vehicle takes it to a commercial car wash.
Car washing at home must be done with a hand-held hose with a positive shutoff nozzle for a quick rinse.
Hand-held irrigation is allowed at any time and on any day of the week, and drip irrigation systems may be used if the system is equipped with a shutoff nozzle.
Residential and commercial fountains and waterfalls located indoors will not be restricted, but commercial fountains must be granted a variance permit to operate.
Water hydrants may be used for construction purposes, but contractors must obtain a special permit from City Hall.
Firefighters and public health officials may use fire hydrants for their specific purposes or for safety or welfare. That includes the draining of dead-end water mains.
Water also may be used to maintain the integrity of building foundations on any day as long as it is done by using a hand-held or drip hose.
Swimming pools may be filled only on designated watering days.
A special permit is now required to wash buildings and sidewalks except for business purposes or in the interest of public health safety.

More than 250 residents of two Des Moines apartment buildings may move forward with a class-action lawsuit over a bedbug infestation.
The Iowa Supreme Court says in an order issued Friday it deadlocked with three justices siding with a district court judge's 2011 ruling certifying class-action status and three who would reverse it. One did not participate. That means the Polk County judge's certification of class-action stands.
The building's owners and managers wanted the court to throw out class-action certification.
In 2010, residents of Elsie Mason Manor and Liguitti Tower sued the building owners, Johnston-based First Baptist Housing Foundation, and building managers, Minnesota-based American Baptist Homes of the Midwest. The lawsuit claims managers knew about bedbugs but didn't warn tenants or properly treat for them until the lawsuit was filed.

Fla. Restaurant Puts National Politics On Local Stage
By Greg Allen • Jan 29, 2012
Originally published on January 30, 2012 4:43 pm
The Fish House, a restaurant in Pensacola, Fla., has become a regular stop for GOP candidates. Mike Huckabee and John McCain came by in 2008 and Joe Scarborough has done his Morning Joe show here. In fact, as congressman, Scarborough used to play on weekends in the restaurant's house band. NPR's Greg Allen goes behind the scenes at the Fish House.

We can't expect to solve our problems if all we do is tear each other down. You can disagree with a certain policy without demonizing the person who espouses it. You can question somebody's views and their judgment without questioning their motives or their patriotism. Throwing around phrases like "socialists" and "Soviet-style takeover" and "fascist" and "right-wing nut" -- that may grab headlines, but it also has the effect of comparing our government, our political opponents, to authoritarian, even murderous regimes. Now, we've seen this kind of politics in the past. It's been practiced by both fringes of the ideological spectrum, by the left and the right, since our nation's birth. But it's starting to creep into the center of our discourse. And the problem with it is not the hurt feelings or the bruised egos of the public officials who are criticized. Remember, they signed up for it. Michelle always reminds me of that. The problem is that this kind of vilification and over-the-top rhetoric closes the door to the possibility of compromise. It undermines democratic deliberation. It prevents learning –- since, after all, why should we listen to a "fascist," or a "socialist," or a "right-wing nut," or a left-wing nut"? It makes it nearly impossible for people who have legitimate but bridgeable differences to sit down at the same table and hash things out. It robs us of a rational and serious debate, the one we need to have about the very real and very big challenges facing this nation. It coarsens our culture, and at its worst, it can send signals to the most extreme elements of our society that perhaps violence is a justifiable response.
-President Obama

The 1964-65 Topps hockey set is one of the most desirable sets in the hockey card hobby. The large designs predated the "Tall Boy" football and basketball sets that also became very popular with collectors over the years. In the high-number series, cards 56-110, there are 11 short prints (SP) that are considered very tough to locate. Key cards such as the Gordie Howe, Bobby Hull, and Jacques Plante cards fill the set with star power. In addition, the checklists are very tough to find, especially in top condition. While hockey may not be as popular as other major sports, this set is widely considered more difficult than both the football and basketball versions of the "Tall Boy" design. Poor centering and print defects plague the cards and, due to the large design, the corners were susceptible to wear over the years. This is a very tough and desirable set.

Killing the Gem
Last night, Jake Peavy pitched an absolute gem.
Eight innings, two hits, one walk. Eight strikeouts. That was Jake Peavy out there in Dodger Stadium last night. He's had some bad outings, some OK outings, but this was definitely one of his best. He's always owned the Dodgers, and last night was no different.
But on the other side, Clayton Kershaw was shutting down my Padres. Kershaw has been pretty good against us, and he held us to four hits and two walks for seven innings. We got nothing against three Dodgers relievers.
The whole story of this game was the ninth inning. Scoreless game, Duaner Sanchez comes in to pitch. He allowed a single, then two walks.
He's trying to get out of this inning, send the game into extras to give his team a chance. He's got the bases loaded, but two outs. Russell Martin comes to the plate.
Swinging strike. Good. Ball. Ball in dirt. Not good. Then FOUR foul balls. That must have been really stressing for all the people listening to the game. Then another ball. We've got a full count. Yet another foul.
The tension is at its climax here. The runners on all the bases crouch, ready to sprint to the next stop. Sanchez is dripping sweat. He wipes his face nervously, but it doesn't help the sweat that much. He glances over his shoulders, checking the dancing runners. Finally he turns to his catcher, picking up the sign.
The crowd of 47,210 is on their feet, cheering with all they've got. Full count…Sanchez finally throws the pitch…it sails to home plate…and it's a ball.
Game over. 1-0 Dodgers.
Sanchez has been terrible. I'm sorry, but we really need to get rid of him. He's done nothing but help us lose ever since the beginning of the season. You just can't put a guy like that in a scoreless game, bottom of the ninth. I have no idea why Buddy didn't take him out. But let me tell you, I wouldn't be suprised if he got sent down soon. I would be relieved. (Get it? Relieved, relievers in the bullpen? Haha? Wow, that's bad!!)
Jake, I mean, WOW. He did an incredible job out there, owning the Dodgers as he usually does. He deserved that win. I am so glad that he had a solid outing. He needed it, his team needed it, and the fans needed it. Unfortunately, we can't even win when Jake gives us a near-perfect outing. Reminds me of last year…
That's what's scaring me. We're 11-12 right now, having lost nine out of our last eleven. This year is starting to remind me of last year. We're not hitting, our bullpen is miserable, and we're losing. I'm really worried about this team right now.
I had hoped that we would be able to at least split this series with the Dodgers. We would have to win the next two games to do that. I just am not seeing a winning team right now. I'm pretty sure we can get this game tonight, but I don't know if we could handle winning two games in a row.
I don't know what to do with this team. I mean, there's nothing I can personally do, but I don't know what the front office can do either. We definitley need new pitching, starting and bullpen. Our hitters…I have no idea. We got four hits total last night, but we were going against a really good pitcher (I wonder how much longer I can use that excuse!).
We aren't hitting that great. Quite a few of our guys are off to sloooow starts. We definitely aren't pitching, especially at the end of the bullpen.
I'm not pressing this yet…
…but this team has got to get it going. We need to play hard. We need to be able to beat the really good teams like the Dodgers. We have to be able to if we want to go anywhere in this division.
Tonight it's an Opening Week re-match of Chris Young and Randy Wolf. Last time they met on that second game of the season, CY came out on top. I was at that game🙂
Hopefully, our second ace will be able to pull of an excellent outing. And our hitters had better give him some support. And the bullpen had better not give up so much as a run, or else…

kaybee, you and I share something in common and that is bad pitching by our teams. In the series that the Corpus Christi Hooks played against the Midland Rockhounds the pitchers gave up 108 hits. You do not win games when you give up that amount of hits. Of the four games which they played, the Hooks won one.
I keep a watchful eye out on the San Antonio Missions roster to see if Robert Woodard gets a call up to Double A. Are there any other San Antonio Missions players on their current roster that you would like an autograph of? If so let me know. Our family will be going up there next Saturday to see the Hooks and Missions play.
I hate Duaner Sanchez. No offense but we do need to get rid of him. He didn't deserve the win against the Rockies a couple of days ago! Anyway, Jake was lights out last night. No doubt about it. Jake was aggressive, dominat, and threw a great ratio of balls and strikes. Hitter with a slow start? That's easy. Brian Giles. I don't know what's going on with him. We, or they rather, need to step it up and give all they got as if they are playing in the World Series. I really hope CY can have the victory at LA tonight. Let's not say the words "give up" or "panic", ok?🙂
Tough Loss. Jake was AMAZING. We NEED to Win Today!!!!!!!!!!
Go Padres!!!!!!!
Try replacing the "panic" button with the Staples "easy" button :O) Who knows; stranger things have happened. Maybe it'll help. I keep trying to press the "dear God, please do not let my hair turn grey over this team" button…I'll let ya know if it works!
There is nothing worse then a pitcher having a great outing and the team giving no offensive help.

The Napa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District is the local sponsor for the award-winning Napa River Flood Management Plan and administers water supply contracts, watershed management and stormwater management programs throughout Napa County. The District's mission is the conservation and management of flood and storm waters to protect life and property; the maintenance of the County watershed using the highest level of environmentally sound practices; and to provide coordinated planning for water supply needs for the community.
The project will restore more than 900 acres of high-value tidal wetlands of the San Francisco Bay Estuary while protecting 2,700 homes, 350 businesses, and over 50 public properties from 100-year flood levels, a savings of $26 million annually in flood damage costs.
Involves maintenance of the Napa River and its tributaries which includes specialized watershed programs and services funded by local assessments as well as State and federal grants.
Napa County and the Cities of American Canyon, Napa, St. Helena, Calistoga and the Town of Yountville collectively administer the Napa County Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program.
Includes the Flood District, Milliken-Sarco-Tulocay (MST) Water Project, and information on watershed projects throughout Napa County.
A downed tree and flood debris threatened to flood properties along Dry Creek. But property owners and district staff had a better plan in mind, one that avoided flooding and built habitat at the same time!
A flood risk turns into a habitat restoration project in less than 2 days

You bring up a good point, if the Knicks do somehow come back and make the playoffs Isiah will be here longer. What are we the fans suppose to root for?
A) More losing leading to the firing of Isiah/higher draft pick
B) See some pride from the players fight to make the playoffs
As someone with alot of pride I want to see the team play with pride reguardless of all other factors involved but this ones got me thinkin. I know alot of people will have different opinions here. I think a poll should be added to this thread. Losing in most ways makes more sense but you still wanna see the team try hard instead of continuing to play like a bunch of P*ssys.

Plus D Lee will likely make less than 10 mill next season, Because to preserve cap Walsh will backload is contract so the big bulk of it comes after the 2010 season.
I'd give Utah Chandler and Nate for Kover and our pick back tho! The cap saved in moving Chandler for an expiring deal would even out the rookie we draft first season salary. But no way Utah makes a deal until they know their draft position and by then the deal would have to be just for Wilson straight up.
Truth be told, John Wall looks like the only incoming rookie who could reverse our fortunes and we have no shot at him!

The case of a former Tygart Valley Regional Jail correctional officer accused of forcing a female inmate to engage in sexual acts has been bound over to Randolph County Circuit Court.
Buddy Lee Leary, 41, of Elkins, waived his right to a preliminary hearing Thursday in Randolph County Magistrate Court. Leary was arrested on charges of the imposition of sexual acts on persons incarcerated or under supervision, a felony, on Feb. 22. He is currently free on a $75,000 personal recognizance bond.
According to the criminal complaint in the Randolph County Magistrate Clerk's office, Trooper C.E. Elliot with the Elkins detachment of the West Virginia State Police was dispatched to the Tygart Valley Regional Jail on Feb. 8 in reference to an inmate who claimed she had "made sexual contact" with Leary on Dec. 4, 2012.
During a recorded interview, the victim told Elliott that Leary asked her to disrobe, a request with which she complied. The victim also stated that Leary allegedly entered her cell and began to touch her genitalia before instructing her to perform a lewd sexual act on him. After "several minutes" of this, Leary abruptly exited the victim's cell, she told the officer.
Elliott asked the victim why she waited two months – December 2012 and January 2013 -before reporting the incident, and she replied that she was fearful of the repercussions of taking action.
On Feb. 9, Elliott interviewed Leary at the WVSP headquarters in Elkins, where he reportedly "denied all allegations made against him," the complaint states.
However, on Feb. 21, Elliott again interviewed Leary, at which time he allegedly admitted to having engaged in a lewd sexual act with the victim.
"During the interview, the accused (Leary) can be heard confessing to having sexual relations with the victim," Elliott wrote in the report.
The penalty for a conviction of imposition of sexual acts on persons incarcerated or under supervision is imprisonment in the state penitentiary for one to five years or a fine of up to $5,000.

don't be surprised if she was seeing someone else while you were with her. skanks and broads love doing that.
Was with this girl since May. Everything was perfect. A fight here and there but no different than any relationship. Everything just came so natural to both of us. I can honestly say we were both in love. I know everything there is to know about this girl, and the same with her with me. There were no doubts in either of our minds that we were getting married. **** we even talked about having a baby. She always brought up how much she "needed" me and how we depended on each other..it was all true. This girl's gone through so much **** in her life, and I was the one to bring her happiness, that was the best feeling in the world for me. What we had was real. The realest thing I ever felt in my life.
Then the other night we were talking, she seemed different. I talked to her about it yesterday and she said to her, it just doesn't feel the same anymore. Then that was it. Over. Eveything we built up, everything we had. All gone. I feel like my life just got ripped from my body. This girl was my life. Just so empty and dead inside. By far the worst feeling in the world. Like all my motivation for everything is just gone. The worst part is that every f*cking thing I do or see or hear reminds me of her. She's in everything i do. I probably sound like such a bitch right now lol but anyone else have this feeling before? Getting in too deep with a girl you think you actually found love with, just to get punched in the gut really, really hard?
**** sucks.
Damn player-centric usernames straight to hell.
don't be surprised if she was seeing someone else while you were with her. skanks and broads love doing that.
I have faith in Donnie Walsh
Yo Dlee, that does suck, but it could be way worse. My very first girlfriend left me for some guy she met online who lives in ****in texas. I mean really? What kind of **** is that? I wanted to kill myself. Took me over a year to get over it.
Then again, you were in love. I don't know what love is.
Damn player-centric usernames straight to hell.
Damn player-centric usernames straight to hell.
In the past, when we jussst started talking, I remember her telling me something like how she gets sick of guys really quickly and can't help it. (weird thing to say, right?) But this whole time everything's just been amazing. I remember her telling me she's never been so happy with the relationship she's in. Oh, and about a week ago we got into a conversation about how we depended on each other, and she told me that she was "greedy" and that even if it was better for me, that she could never walk away from me cause she needed me that much.
**** just changes so fast in a girl's head.
Damn player-centric usernames straight to hell.
It sounds like she was getting 2nd thoughts.
being addicted to a person is a blessing and a curse my friend.
Im guessing you both were mad clingy to each other?
Alright here's the part you're gonna laugh at.. we're 16 lol. But still, I have never felt anything more real in my life. We didn't get to see each other anywhere near enough, and that killed me everyday. But we were always talking 24/7 whether it be in person over the phone or texting. From the second we woke up everyday to the second we fell asleep every night. And when we weren't talking..**** drove me crazy. Her too..hence all the "depending" and "needing you" talk.
Damn player-centric usernames straight to hell.
All I needed to do was look at the first sentence..
Chill the **** out man. College holds better opportunities than high school.
I seriously thought you were in your mid 20s or something, thats a different story. But 16? Man, you got your best years coming up in a while.
High school sucks, when it comes to girls here, theyre all either taken, a slut, crazy, or all of the above
Damn player-centric usernames straight to hell.
Anyway, high school isn't where id want to find my special someone, I'd just regret it. I'd like a girl now, but I gotta be patient and wait for the perfect moment.
Just don't worry about it too much is all i can say to you man. Watch, you'll meet someone even more amazing 2-3 years down the line.

Actually...the AL's peak in performance happens right BEFORE most of the expansion (1962 was a minor expansion in either league...the big expansions didn't happen until 1969 and 1977...both of which BTW are signularly responsible for the drop in quality of play in both leagues IMHOOriginally Posted by Ubiquitous
The other approach I've seen to test quality of play has been W% mobility analysis...how doable is it for teams to find players and go from bad to good in short periods...there are times during the depressed 30s/40s/50s ESPECIALLY in the NL...where W% mobility is terribly low...where a couple of good teams dominated for long stretches and not many of the others had a chance to compete except for during the war where talent was essentially randomly scrambled.
The National League became seriously stagnant in the middle of the 20th century. Skewness values are astoundingly consistant...WWII aside...from 1927 to 1962 and begin slowly climbing during rapid expansion...(reflecting a drop in the quality of play)...you say "quality slides during the pitcher's era"...I say "quality slides during the EXPANSION era...and doesn't rebound until the leagues adjust to the expansion in 1981.
