Moving Mountains
We are all struggling in this economic time. Some are just getting by, some are holding tightly to their jobs as their co-workers are cut down all around them, and some are searching desperately and disappointedly for a job. So when a man joined this blogosphere and announced that he was going to sell all his possessions, move into his car, and travel all over the United States watching his favorite baseball team, we were captivated. I mean, this guy must be insane! To give up everything and just watch baseball is probably something we only dream of. We would love to put our worries aside and just watch baseball. Well, Tom Walsh did that. He travelled to nine stadiums, caught many games, and met a lot of people. But the dream didn't last. Eventually, the economic situation caught up with him. The Baseball Across America journey is not over though. Sure, Tom's reached a big bump in the road, but I know that he'll be back out in the Rockies Roadster as soon as he can.
We have gathered here today to give messages of encouragement to our fellow blogger in this time. Tom's been an inspiration to us all, and well, I'll just let the messages do the talking.
From Kaybee (http://kaybee.mlblogs.com)
Tom, I've been reading your blog for quite a while, and it's definitely one of my favorites. Not because you have great analysis on the Rockies or anything, but because of how much you really put yourself into your entries. When you write about your journey, it's like we're right there next to you, experiencing the same things that you were. I've had so much fun watching your journey so far, and it is so sad that is temporarily over. But one of the things that has always stuck out to me about you is that you believe that everything happens for a reason. I know it isn't always easy to believe that, especially when something really hard happens. I believe that these experiences make a person stronger, and even if they can't see it when they are going through it, these trials in our lives really do happen for a reason. I really admire the way you hold fast to that.
I want to thank you for keeping up your blog, for commenting on my blog, for my support group and my Timeout and all that. You've been a great friend, and I really hope your journey can take you to San Diego someday soon. Still praying for you man, and I can't wait for you to get back on the road.
Baseball Across America PETCO Park: To be accomplished…
From Jen (http://ajroxmywhitesox.mlblogs.com)
Back in January, you created a support group for Kaybee. Back then, I'd only been blogging for about a month, but you'd been one of my most consistent commenters. And since Kaybee was another one of my consistent commenters and I'd suffered a baseball loss like hers before, I was more than glad to help you out with her support group. Now in return, Kaybee has one for you and Baseball Across America, which I'm more than glad to help with again.
As you started your journey, I looked forward to every entry you made because it was like taking your journey with you in a way. I got to learn about places I haven't been yet but want to visit. I got to hear about the various fans, and I learned more about the Rockies as well. And so many entries included pictures that just amazed me, as I've told you numerous times.
What I don't think I've said numerous times is that your blog is one of my favorites. Because you're a great writer. Because you're a great photographer. But mostly because you put so much of yourself into these blogs, and we all get to see how amazing of a person you
are. You gave up everything to find the good in people all across this country. You found it, and you shared it. You've had more of an impact on people than I think you realize. It's definitely more of an impact than I can accurately express.
Your journey is only on a hiatus, Tom. When you can afford it again, I know Baseball Across America will start up again. You're too good of a person to just let it end. You've made some great friends on your journey, some you've met and many you haven't. Until you can
resume this amazing journey, keep writing and keep being Tom Walsh. We'll always be here.
Baseball Across America Turner Field: Mission accomplished
From Hyun Young (http://hyunyoung.mlblogs.com)
I am incredibly sad that your journey has ended for now and I wish you for the best. When I read your post about this, you brought tears to my eyes. Your incredible journey across America inspired so many people not just in blogosphere, but everywhere you went. It is absolutely heartbreaking when something that was so brilliant and exciting comes to an end. It's almost too scary to turn to a next chapter in life, but it's something that happens to everyone. For me, going to high school next month is a nerve-wracking thing. I will get used to the new world eventually. The journey did not reach the finish line and it will not for a long time. You have an obstacle that is blocking you right now, but very soon, you will overcome it and keep going on and on. I thank you for what you do for MLBlogs and you have a friend in San Diego. Another chapter will wait and I pray that it will be a very positive one. Every single of us, the incredible bloggers, are here for you anytime, anywhere.
Baseball Across America Rogers Centre: To be accomplished…
From Jeremy (http://homerfoodandhistory.mlblogs.com)
We all run into financial trouble along the way. One way or another, the all-mighty buck can be humbling. Our big baseball trip again this year is Detroit (only 3 hours away, but still a good distance). I think it is amazing that you got experience all those cities, ballparks and places. Your journey has been truly impressive, and I honestly think people should be paying you to do it (i.e. sponsors). I've admired the all the places you've been to, and all the people you've seen along the way. If you were to ever come to the Toronto area, I'd definitely buy your Jays ticket. Good luck with everything! I hope that opportunity knocks for you, and I hope you find something you like. I'm currently looking for the same thing, as I've been stuck in an endless cycle of acquiring temporary employment. I lose my job grounds keeping at Mahoney Park in Hamilton, Ontario in late September. Again, what you have done already is amazing, and I hope one day you make all the way north to my area. There will be a Jays ticket waiting for you.
Baseball Across America Chase Field: Mission accomplished
From Jane (http://janeheller.mlblogs.com)
Hi, Tom. It's She Fan Jane. Or, as you like to call me, Joan Wilder from "Romancing the Stone." Now listen up. Yes, your trip has stalled and your dream has been put on hold. But that's how it is sometimes. And you're not the type to take defeat lying down. Neither am I. When I tried to get my Yankees book published after having written 13 novels, I had lots of rejections. Everybody said, "A baseball book by a woman? It'll never sell." I could have given up, but I didn't. And then along came an editor who said, "I love the book and I'm willing to pay for it." We can never take no for answer and we can never give up. Somehow, you'll find a way around your current problems, and solving them will make you even stronger and more
determined. I'm rooting for you!
Baseball Across America Wrigley Field: Mission accomplished
From Jeff and Allen of RSBS (http://redstatebluestate.mlblogs.com)
Hold your head up high! The game is not over until you hit the showers and as far as we can tell, you're still super dirty! Okay, so that was a poor analogy, but you get what we're saying. Truth is, whether you're at Chavez Ravine, Busch Stadium or a shantytown at the base of a mountain, as long as you got an internet connection you're still touching our lives (and even
without one you still are, though the travel and phone bills may add up). We at RSBS proudly support you wherever the journey takes you and if that means you have to give us your views on the Rockies, from Colorado, then so be it. We got your back. Say the word and we're on it (DISCLAIMER: This support does not include inflicting bodily harm on other humans, animals or
insects, unless said human, animal or insect is wearing a Cubs jersey, in which case, you needn't say anything else, just ignite the bat signal like I taught you when you were here in Chicago and one of us will go kick some serious tail).

Baseball Across America Yankee Stadium: To be accomplished…
From Emily (http://deconstrucingthoughts.mlblogs.com)
A day at the ballpark with Tom Walsh was a day to remember. How lucky I am to have spent some time with you while you were on your incredible journey. As we go through life, sometimes we encounter random strangers, people who come in and out of our lives, and some of us got to encounter Tom Walsh, a unique stranger with a phenomenal voyage. I have a lot of fond memories of that day, my favorites come in no particular order, but they are just moments that make me smile on the day I encountered Tom Walsh. The first one is when I sat outside those gates behind home plate lusting after that Ubaldo Jimenez shirt. I have got to get me one of these, Tom, you better get here. Fortunately for you, you did get there, and I got a shirt, and all was well in the world. I remember trying to tell you that I was the coolest person you'd ever meet, and it was a sentence that I couldn't even finish. We got to reminisce on Greality and think about the deliciousness that is Teriyaki Bowl. I got to witness probably some of the best butt pictures I've ever seen (not taken on my command though, lest we forget). We talked about my experiment and how dense I still am. We talked about the minor leagues and two dollar Tuesday, maybe that was what it was. Two and Tuesday make sense. You got to meet my weird friends and harass Manny Ramirez. You get a lot of experiences on your road, so you may not remember the events that occurred that evening, but I do. I remember that night fondly and it's because of the unique encounter with a stranger. The impact that you can have on people is phenomenal and I can only hope that we will all be so lucky to encounter such a unique stranger. I meant what I said when I commented on your blog, kid, you'll move mountains.
Baseball Across America Fenway Park: To be accomplished…
From Julia (http://werbiefitz.mlblogs.com)
TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
Unlike most of us – you actually took the journey! You did not sit around saying "should of, could of, would of"…you did it! How brave you are to face that unknown. To place that "one foot in front of the other" and walk out the door. It took courage to do that my friend; a courage that few of us will ever find.
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
You did not let the fear of the unknown stop you. You have a deep faith in your fellow man – you knew that you would find friends where ever you went. And you did! You knew that if you took that path a world of adventure awaited you.
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
Tom, the path you took was different from most. It was unconventional. I'm sure many told you you were crazy to be taking such a journey. But you did not let that stop you. You believed in yourself and in what you wanted to do. You knew this was something you needed to do. It was more than just visiting ballparks around the country. It was about discovering who we are; discovering, in a way, who you are. The stories you told of the people you met! You are right – we all have a story. But sometimes it takes a very special person like you to help us find that story within ourselves. Not many of us our very good at looking inward and seeing what is there. I think because most of us are afraid of what we will find. You gave us the courage to take that look and you inspired us to find the good that is there.
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
It is rare that we get the chance and go back and take another path in life. Even if we go back to the beginning – we are never the same. Our journeys shape and mold us into different people. You without a doubt are a richer person for what you have done and seen. I know, it ended much too soon. But Tom – as hard as it is – DO NOT BE SAD! Yes, the journey did not end on your terms, but look at what you did! Do you know that you carried all of us who read your blog on your back for the whole trip? You brought to life the people and events that you encountered along the way. You allowed us the opportunity to walk along with you. For that we are all richer. Do you have any idea how much you touched all the lives of not only the people you met on your trip but also the people who followed you from afar? I am so grateful that you let us – me- come along for the ride.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I–
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
You took the road less traveled Tom. And it has made a difference. You make a difference Tom. Please – do not waste any energy over "what ifs". Build off of what you've done. I know you care so very much about the people in this world – take what you have learned from your journey, no matter how brief it might have been, and make it better. That was the message of your journey. Now do it! God bless you Tom and thank you.
Baseball Across America Minute Maid Park: Mission Accomplished
From Kylie (http://kylie.mlblogs.com)
*Tom. I didn't know what to expect when I shouted that name at a vaguely familiar man in a Rockies jersey, but I was willing to try my luck in hope of finding something good. Come to think of it, that's precisely what you did when you decided to put all you owned into your journey. You put everything you had into what you wanted to do, and yeah, it didn't go forever, but damn you did more than most of us could ever accomplish. Because, for once in my life, I'm short on words, I'm going to steal from myself in the comment I left on your blog entry. You wonder if you had an impact, if you made a difference. The way you live your life has certainly had an impact on the way I will be living mine. Anyone who has read your blog can read about the people you've met who you've changed in some way, and something they read there has probably done the same for them. There's no need to worry about that, but I'm surprised you would worry at all. Of course, if you were to worry, it **would** be about something unselfish like if you helped anyone else, while I'm here worrying that my Tulo jersey will get lost in the mail (knock on wood!). I know you might also be worried about what's ahead, even if you would never admit to it, but if anyone can handle it, it's the guy who threw his whole life in the back of a Taurus and took off across the country without knowing what he'd encounter within the next twenty-four hours. It's the guy who stayed in random people's homes and talked to everyone he saw. It's the guy who loved a team who couldn't win and watched them become a team who couldn't lose. You've handled everything thus far. Why should the rest of your life be any different?*
*The best piece of advice I've gotten recently came from a good friend of mine–"Don't be so quick to await the destination when you have the journey." You aren't quite the awaiting the destination type, but you've got journey-enjoying skills, and now's the time to use them. I'll be up in Colorado in a few months and if you need anything, I'll be there. Slowly, because I'll probably be on the bus, but, you know, eventually I'll make it.
So go. Shine.*
Tom, we're all here for you as you go through this tough time. I hope this helped, and that you will eventually get to all the ballparks that are "to be accomplished." Who knows where life will take us, but let's enjoy the journey that gets us there.

This turned out awesome, Kaybee. So much love and support in the Blogosphere. 🙂 I really hope this helps you out, Tom (since I know you'll be reading this).
Now THIS is what I call SUPPORT. We got your back, Tom. We got your back.
Tom, just like you to know that I'm cheering for ya, Your one of the bravest people I know
Kaybee – thank you for being our facilitator in this!
Tom – WE LOVE YOU! We are all part of your family and will always be here for you! Never doubt that!
Tom's journey is remarkable and I hope that this support helps him one day complete it. Great job Kaybee! Shows how much us bloggers care! We rock.
Good job "facilitating" the support group, Kaybee. Hope it's helpful, Tom. We' here.
Kaybee, I love you for setting this up. Once again, all the kind words made me cry. Not that hard considering I just watched the Rockies lose, but still, I'm not an easy person to make cry. Everything everyone wrote was beautiful and you did a beautiful job facilitating.
Tom, I love you. We all do, as if it weren't clear enough already. Don't you dare ever forget it.
Kylie — http://kylie.mlblogs.com
Absolutely a great post, Kaybee. Thank you for letting me in a part of this. I sure hope that this will help Tom get back on track.
Kaybee, what a story. You are awesome.
Kaybee- Thanks so much for letting me be apart of this amazing post. It was a true honor to reminisce on my time with Tommy. Also, Jeff's analogy was kind of awesome.
Tom- I hope this helps, if you need anything, you know where to find me.
Sometimes you plant seeds and they grow just like you hoped they would. Sometimes they get overtaken by weeds and you get disappointed in the fact they are gone. Sometimes they get taken away by nature and grow somewhere else so beautiful that when the garden you are looking at is dead and you walk on you see them, it's amazing. They still grow and even more beautiful then you remembered them. They sprout up in cities like San Diego and Boston and Chicago and Denver and Santa Barbara. Northern lights help them grow in Toronto and it's reassuring to see. Because just when the sun is setting you catch the last glimpse of something beautiful and realize that the sun will shine on them tomorrow and you can rest assured yet again. Thank you each and everyone. Sincerely from the bottom of my heart : ) I came on the internet today to take care of some unfortunate business and suprised to get an email from Kaybee herself. I can't tell you the impact of this post, but I can write a blog which I will do tomorrow in response to this post. Thanks each and all. You'll just never know.
Tom- Rocky Mountain Way
Living a life in which I could just travel around and watch baseball would be something I could only dream of. It would be STELLAR.
i would love to do that! hey can you guys and girls check out birds blog?

This is basketball, all this dont fit bull**** is just that bull**** at the end of the day if they didn't wear uniforms and just had on shorts and t shirt guys would ball, thats what they didn't do tonight, ball, thats what we need to do, ball
as bad as Melo played on O(rusty), Lin got his ass whooped on D, STAT was STAT and Chandler got in foul trouble which hurt us, we also didn't rebound well and close out good enough, Atlanta coming in on Wednesday a day a practice and we should be better
not to mention the refs killed us
We aren't a plodding, half-court team. For better or worse.
Clean, well-designed open looks that we were generating was based off Lin orchestrating the offense as he has been; breaking down the D, and making a decision.
It was resulting in just clean, good mid range jump shots.
Melo was in the box plenty too, especially at the end. And he got his ass raped.
It was just a fail every which way, on the inside and with clean mid range jumpers.
Was calling for Novak since the 3rd quarter he barely played the 2nd half. Right at the end he comes in and sinks a bunch of threes. Could have used those earlier.
But it's swings and roundabouts, I ain't mad at anyone for this game.
LeFlume, sayin it best.
I think it is time to panic. the amare melo combo doesnt work obviously by our starting record before the lin era,no melo returns and your asking 3 ball dominant players to flow? idk i know im panicking
We dont need to fire, trade or bench anyone if anyone thought we were gonna look good in Melo and Baron's 1st game you should know better

Volvo Trucks now takes yet another important step forward with vehicles running on alternative fuels. Within a couple of years, trucks running on DME – an energy-efficient fuel with low environmental impact – will be introduced in the North American market.
"It's clear that DME technology shows great potential for North America and allows Volvo to further its commitment to both our customers and the environment," says Göran Nyberg, president of Volvo Trucks North American Sales and Marketing.
There are two things above all others that make DME highly interesting as a vehicle fuel. First, it is energy efficient. Secondly, emissions of air pollutants are extremely low. It is currently produced and used all over the world, but for other purposes than as a fuel for vehicles. What is more, DME can be produced from both fossil energy sources and from renewable sources (biomass).
Behind Volvo Trucks' decision to start commercial production of DME trucks in the USA lies many years of development work, cooperation with scientists and fuel producers and excellent results from field tests in Sweden and North America.
"With high energy-efficiency and good environmental properties, DME is one of the most promising alternatives to today's diesel fuel. By offering trucks running on DME we also hope to hasten the expansion of DME production and distribution - essential in order to establish a presence on other markets too," says Lars Mårtensson, director Environmental Affairs at Volvo Trucks.
Volvo's DME technology in the USA will be available in a Volvo VNL powered by a D13 engine.

One thing I found very interesting about Linux is the ability to have a whole series of classic games already present on your distribution, and therefore easy to install.
What do I mean as classic game ?
Games released prior to 2000 on Amiga or perhaps on other operating systems and now ported to Linux.
Follow me in this series of old games (as a concept), but always enjoyable and funny.

Currently, we have standard APIs for representing an XML document as a tree of objects through the W3C's DOM specification, and as a series of events through the SAX API. JAXP 1.0 gave us a standard Java API for XML parsers, and JAXP 1.1 expands on this to include a standard API for XSLT engines. This standard API is the Transformation API for XML, or TRaX for short. I will cover TRaX basic usage and explain the top-level interfaces to show how powerful this API is. The specific TRaX implementation that I am working from is the Xalan-Java 2 XSLT processor from the Apache project.
This article assumes an awareness of the major facilities for processing and representing XML documents (DOM, SAX and XSLT), but it is not specific to these technologies.
The TRaX API extends the original JAXP mission to include XML transformations: provide a vendor and implementation agnostic standard Java API for specifying and executing XML transformations. This is important to note, because TRaX is more than just a standard interface for XSLT engines -- it is designed to be used as a general-purpose transformation interface for XML documents. The TRaX specification is a product of the JAXP 1.1 API, Java Specification Request #63.
TRaX isn't a competitor to the existing DOM, JDOM and SAX APIs used to represent and process XML, but a common Java API to bridge the various XML transformation methods (a la JDBC, JNDI, etc.) including SAX Events and XSLT Templates. In fact, TRaX relies upon a SAX2- and DOM-level-2-compliant XML parser/XSLT engine. JAXP 1.0 allows the developer to change XML parsers by setting a property, and TRaX provides the same functionality for XSLT engines.
Here is a sample of how to apply an XSLT stylesheet to an XML document and write the results out to a file. In this example, both the stylesheet and the XML document exist as files, but they could just as easily have come from any Java InputStream or Reader class. The same follows for the results of the transformation; I could've just as easily written the results out to any Java OutputStream or Writer class.
// create the XML content input source:
// can be a DOM node, SAX stream, or any
// Java input stream/reader
String xmlInputFile = "myXMLinput.xml";
Source xmlSource = new StreamSource(new FileInputStream(xmlInputFile));
// create the XSLT Stylesheet input source
// can be a DOM node, SAX stream, or a
// java input stream/reader
String xsltInputFile = "myXsltStylesheet.xsl";
Source xsltSource = new StreamSource(new
// create the result target of the transformation
// can be a DOM node, SAX stream, or a java out
// stream/reader
String xmlOutputFile = "result.html";
Result transResult = new StreamResult(new
// create the transformerfactory & transformer instance
TransformerFactory tf = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer t = tf.newTransformer(xsltSource);
// execute transformation & fill result target object
t.transform(xmlSource, transResult);
Related article:
JDOM and TRaX -- Two innovative technologies have recently been announced to the XML developer community: JDOM, a Java-specific DOM; and TRaX, an API for XML transformations. [from XML.com]
What are your thoughts on TRaX?
The first three stanzas simply establish our inputs and result targets, and aren't that interesting, with one exception. Notice that the XSLT stylesheet isn't handled via a different class in TRaX. It's treated just like any other XML source document, because that's exactly what it is. We use the stream implementations of the Source and Result interfaces from the
javax.xml.transform.stream package to handle reading the data from our file streams.
In the fourth stanza, we use the TransformerFactory to get an instance of a Transformer, and then use the Source instance for the XSLT stylesheet we created in the second stanza to define the transformation that this transformer will perform. A Transformer actually executes the transformation and assembles the result. A single Transformer instance can be reused, but it is not thread-safe.
In this example, the XSLT stylesheet is reprocessed for each successive transformation. A very common case is that the same transformation is applied multiple times to different Sources, perhaps in different threads. A more efficient approach in this case is to process the transformation stylesheet once, and save this object for successive transformations. This is achieved through the use of the TraX Templates interface.
// we've already set up our content Source instance,
// XSLT Source instance, TransformerFactory, and
// Result target from the previous example
// process the XSLT stylesheet into a Templates instance
// with our TransformerFactory instance
Templates t = tf.newTemplates(xsltSource);
// whenever you need to execute this transformation, create
// a new Transformer instance from the Templates instace
Transformer trans = t.newTransformer();
// execute transformation & fill result target object
trans.transform(xmlSource, transResult);
While the Transformer performs the transformation, a Templates instance is the actual run-time representation of the processed transformation instructions. Templates instances may be reused to increase performance, and they are thread-safe. It might seem odd that an interface has a plural name, but it stems from the fact that an XSLT stylesheet consists of a collection of one or more
xsl:template elements. Each template element defines a transformation in that stylesheet, so it follows that the simplest name for a representation of a collection of template elements is Templates.
Java and XML
One of the main reasons the TRaX API is so clean and simple is the Interface-driven approach to design. The highest-level interfaces define the essential entities that are being modeled, and the interactions are left to the implementations. The interfaces themselves aren't very interesting. They are essentially marker interfaces.
public interface Source {
public void setSystemId(String systemId);
public String getSystemId();
Implementations of the Source interface provide access to the XML document to be processed. TRaX defines Source implementations for DOM trees (DOMSource); SAX 2.0 InputSources (SAXSource); and Java InputStreams, Readers and any of their derived classes (StreamSource).
public interface Result {
public void setSystemId(String systemId);
public String getSystemId();
Implementations of the Result interface provide access to the transformed XML document. TRaX defines Result implementations for DOM trees (DOMResult); SAX 2.0 ContentHandlers (SAXResult); and Java OutputStreams, Writers and any of their derived classes (StreamResult).
public interface Templates {
Transformer newTransformer() throws
Properties getOutputProperties();
A template implementation is the optimized, in-memory representation of an XML transformation that is processed and ready to be executed. Templates objects are safe to use in concurrent threads. To reuse a single Template instance in multiple concurrent threads, multiple Transformer instances would have to be created via the
Templates.newTransformer() factory method. Each Transformer instance may be used completely independently in concurrent threads, and both the Templates and the Transformer instances can be reused for subsequent transformations.

SAX 2.0: The Simple API for XML, David Megginson
A Transformer is the object that actually applies the transformation to the source document and creates the result document. However, it is not responsible for outputting, or serializing, the result of the transformation. This is the responsibility of the transformation engine's serializer and this behavior can be modified via the
setOutputProperty(java.lang.String name,
java.lang.String value) method. The configurable OutputProperties are defined in the OutputKeys class, and are described in the XSLT 1.0 Specification. Transformers are immutable, they cannot change which Templates instance gets applied to the Source.
The TransformerFactory is primarily responsible for creating new Transformers and Templates objects. New instances of Transformer are created via the static
newTransformer() method. Processing Source instances into Templates objects is handled by the
newTemplates(Source source) method.
Xalan 1 started off as the LotusXSL project at Lotus Corporation. Lotus contributed the code to the Apache Jakarta Project to create and maintain Xalan, Apache's XSLT engine. Lotus employees are still heavily involved in the Xalan project and currently, they are the primary developers. This is consistent with their parent company's (IBM) commitment to open source software through IBM's donations of their XML4J XML Parser (better known as Xerces Java) and their LOG4J logging package to the Apache Project.
Xalan 2 is complete refactoring of Xalan 1. The goals of the refactoring are to create an more easily understandable and maintainable code base through a more modular design approach. Consequently, the API for executing transformations is completely different in Xalan 2 from Xalan 1. Xalan 2 does provide a compatibility package to allow existing applications to move to Xalan 2 with no code changes.
JAXP 1.0 unified Java-based XML development efforts by providing a single, powerful, interface to all participating vendors' XML parsers. The addition of TRaX to JAXP 1.1 is a natural and necessary addition to ensure the success of XML on the Java platform.

HECO Net Energy Metering Changes
While many of you have likely already heard, we wanted to make sure our members were aware of the latest processing changes HECO announced for Net Energy Metering Agreements submitted on circuits with high saturation levels.
Previously, the NEM team at HECO used a percentage of the circuit capacity to determine whether interconnection could proceed without an interconnection requirements study (IRS) or upgrades to the circuit. To prevent surplus generation on any particular circuit, daytime minimum load (DML) will instead be considered--that is, the lowest load usage on record for a particular circuit.

Help! I have a 19-day old, and from the start, I had horribly sore nipples (bruised, cracked, with scabs/bleeding). They have healed, but on one side I have two blisters. I have tried following the correct latch on procedures religiously, but that doesn't seem to have helped. This is my third child, and I breastfed my previous two as well. With them, I also had the same nipple problems that got better by the third week--but I didn't have blisters
What can I do? I'm an emotional mess!

When my friend Trina started to talk about the fresh cranberry salsa she's been making every Thanksgiving for years, I was a bit skeptical until she told me the ingredients list. I'm not someone who loves all things cranberry, but the combination of fresh cranberries with cilantro, green onion, lime juice, and jalapeno had so many of my favorite flavors, it was pretty much a given that I'd like it.
As soon as I tasted Low-Sugar Fresh Cranberry Salsa with Cilantro, Lime, and Jalapeno (and loved it!) my brain started imagining ways to eat it. Of course, this cranberry salsa would be fantastic on your Thanksgiving dinner plate next to the turkey, but I'd also love it spread on a turkey sandwich, layered into a turkey casserole, dipped up with celery or pita chips, or eaten as a pan-sauce over sauteed pork or chicken. I can already tell this is one of those recipes I'll be making over and over, so thanks for sharing Trina!
I realize you need something to sweeten the cranberries, but for me it's definitely the savory flavors that make this so appealing, so please don't think of it in the same category as a sweet cranberry sauce. This is a flavor combination for cilantro lovers, but if any cilantro haters try it with something else like flat parsley, I'd love to hear how it works.
I'm adding this to my collection of Carb-Conscious Thanksgiving Recipes, and I might even try to sneak it past the cilantro-haters at my sister Sandee's, where I'm going for Thanksgiving this year!
Trina's Low-Sugar Fresh Cranberry Salsa with Cilantro, Lime, and Jalapeno
(Makes about 2 cups of salsa; recipe from my friend Trina who got it from her friend Georgianna.)
1 bag (12 oz.) fresh cranberries
3/4 cup Splenda, Stevia In the Raw Granulated, or sugar (use Splenda or Stevia for South Beach Diet)
1 bunch green onions, sliced (about 3/4 cup sliced green onion)
1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped (about 3/4 cup chopped cilantro, or use more to taste)
2 fresh jalapenos, seeds removed and chopped
(use more if you like it spicy; could also use a few tsp. of Green Tabasco Sauce)
1 T olive oil
1 T fresh lime juice (I used my fresh-frozen lime juice)

5 Big Stock Charts You Need to See
BALTIMORE ( Stockpickr) -- Even though Mr. Market is continuing to take a breather this week, not all stocks are following suit. That's especially true in the big names, where trading volume is the strongest; there certainly are still some attractive trades popping up in this market.
That's why, today, we're taking a technical look at the price setups forming in five of the biggest names on Wall Street.
>>5 Stocks Poised for Breakouts
If you're new to technical analysis , here's the executive summary.
Technicals are a study of the market itself. Since the market is ultimately the only mechanism that determines a stock's price, technical analysis is a valuable tool even in the roughest of trading conditions.
>>4 Stocks Ready for Big Dividend Hikes in 2013
Technical charts are used every day by proprietary trading floors, Wall Street's biggest financial firms, and individual investors to get an edge on the market. And research shows that skilled technical traders can bank gains as much as 90% of the time.
Every week, I take an in-depth look at big names that are telling important technical stories. Here's this week's look at the charts of five high-volume stocks to trade for gains .
>>5 Stocks Set to Soar on Bullish Earnings Estee Lauder
It's been a ho-hum year for cosmetics company Estee Lauder (EL) ; shares of the $24 billion firm have only moved around 4% higher since the first trading day of 2013. But EL could be in store for considerable upside thanks to the long-term pattern that's been forming in shares.
Lauder is currently forming an ascending triangle pattern, a trading setup that's formed by a horizontal resistance level to the upside and uptrending support put in below shares. Essentially, as EL bounces in between those two technically significant price levels, it's getting squeezed closer and closer to a breakout above that resistance level at $64. When the breakout happens, we've got a buy signal on our hands.
Momentum adds some extra confirmation to the upside setup in EL. That's because 14-day RSI has been able to maintain an uptrend over the course of the pattern, a sign that Lauder's price increase is accelerating. Since momentum is a leading indicator of price, that's a very auspicious sign for shareholders.
Wait for the breakout before putting your cash on the line in EL. Wal-Mart
We're seeing the opposite pattern in retail behemoth Wal-Mart (WMT) right now. WMT is currently forming a descending triangle, and as the name implies, it's the bearish inverse of an ascending triangle. In this case, we've got a horizontal support level at $68 and downtrending resistance above shares.
The trading signal is exactly the opposite in this stock; Wal-Mart will have to push through its horizontal support level before it triggers a sell signal.

Updated 03/01/2012: I've lived in Southern Illinois most of my life and cannot remember a time where we were hit with such vicious wind storms.
When I first wrote this post, our area was hit what was called an "inland hurricane". It's the closest thing I've been to a hurricane and/or tornado. I never thought our area would be hit again. That is until this past Tuesday.
Harrisburg, Illinois, about 30 minutes from me was hit by an EF4 tornado killing 6, injury 100's more, and leaving the community stunned. It's just a scary reminder that you never know when Mother Nature is going to come and you better be ready.
If you haven't taken any measures to be prepared for an emergency, then this applies. I've added newer pics that shows the preparation my wife and I have gone through. You can read more on her perspective here. If you are deathly afraid of storms, check her post out.
Living in Southern Illinois there aren't many emergencies that we have to be prepared for. We will have the occasional ice storm in the winter. During the summer humidity is almost unbearable, but we're not accustomed to much more than that. That was until Friday, May 8th, when I experienced a storm like no other.
I was set to play in the annual Carterville Chamber of Commerce and Rotary Golf Scramble that had a tee time of 1 p.m. It had rained all morning, but I was hopeful that it would still not prevent the days festivities. I had no idea by the end of the day that my main concern would be whether my home was still standing and not that I had shanked my drive on Hole #9 (or every other hole for that matter).

Dordt College News
Dordt College stance on the health care mandate for employers
August 9, 2012
Dordt College filed a statement this summer with the Department of Health and Human Services objecting to the contraceptive mandate accommodation. The college's argument focuses on religious freedom, and it does not take a position on birth control.
Many Christian colleges consider the accommodation problematic because it allows churches but not other religiously oriented institutions to be exempt from a new requirement that says all employers offering health insurance must cover contraceptive services, including pills like Plan B, which has been described by opponents as a potential abortifacient.
Dordt College objects to the fact that only churches will receive a special accommodation and exemption from the requirements. As part of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities, Dordt has signed on to a long list of religious institutions of higher education that have opposed the mandate from early on.
Following is the text of the objection filed by the college with HHS:
"We are writing to express concern about the proposed accommodation addressing coverage of contraceptives/abortifacients for religious or religiously-affiliated institutions. Because only churches are recognized as "religious employers" and fully exempt, an accommodation for other religious organizations effectively creates two classes of religious organizations in which only churches are accorded full protection of religious freedom.
"We object to the accommodation because it does not recognize Dordt College and similar faith-based institutions as organizations deserving protection of religious freedom. We object to the creation of two classes of religious organizations with different levels of protection. We also stand in solidarity with other religious communities and parachurch organizations that have a deep moral objection to the use of contraceptives and/or to drugs that can induce abortions, and we advocate for their freedom of conscience and their right to not be forced to cover drugs or procedures in strict opposition to their beliefs.
"We strongly object to having Christian colleges put in a different class of religious organizations with lesser protection under the law. There are some colleges that may be only Christian at a surface level. There are colleges that are Christian in the sense of having devotional activities or Bible classes alongside their regular academic work. However, there are also colleges that resonate with Dordt College's founding statement, namely "to give young people an education that is Christian, not merely in the sense that devotional exercises are appended to the ordinary work of the college, but in the larger and deeper sense that all the class work, all the students' intellectual, emotional, and imaginative activities shall be permeated with the spirit and teaching of Christianity."
"Our ability to carry out this mission as a religious organization has always been protected under the Constitution and we expect that will continue."

A Historical Remembrance of George Steinbrenner
The King is dead. Long live the King.
In Tampa, Fl. this morning, a legendary sports figure passed away. George M. Steinbrenner III, the principal owner of the New York Yankees since 1973, died at St. Joseph's Hospital. He was 80 years old.
Steinbrenner suffered a heart attack earlier today and had been in declining health for a number of years. His two sons, Hank and Hal, have been running the Yankee organization since late 2007 while Steinbrenner oversaw all of the decisions made within the team.
When he took the reigns as Yankee owner from CBS, he brought the struggling Yankees back from mediocrity. Four years after he took over the organization, the Yankees won their first World Title in 15 years. Under Steinbrenner, the Yankees captured 16 Division Titles, 11 American League Pennants, and seven World Series Championships.
A strong body of successful work brought on by a strong man.
In 1952, Steinbrenner received his Bachelor's Degree from Williams College in Massachusetts. While he attended Williams, he was involved with several extracurricular activities, including the track team and the football team.
One of his activities in college that struck me was his position as sports editor of the college newspaper. As a recent college graduate, the sports editor of my school's newspaper was a position I held. It's nice to know Steinbrenner and I had something in common.
After he graduated college, Steinbrenner went on to serve in United States Air Force, where he became a second lieutenant. He was honorably discharged in 1954 and went on to attend The Ohio State University where he got his Master's in Physical Education.
Talk about a hard-working individual.
At OSU, he helped Buckeyes' head coach Woody Hayes, serving as his assistant for a season. The Buckeyes were undefeated that year and went on to win the Rose Bowl. He also helped coach at Northwestern University and Purdue University, as he was always an avid sports fan.
As owner of the Yankees, Steinbrenner was known as a hard man. He maintained strict policies, such as the famous "no facial hair, no long hair" rule. He felt that the Yankees needed to look as professional as they possibly could, and ordered that all of his players be clean shaven with their hair cut short.
This edict was put to the test when Lou Piniella, a player and one of the 22 Yankee managers that served under Steinbrenner, once called him on it in Spring Training.
"Jesus Christ had long hair and a beard," Piniella told Steinbrenner. "Why can't we have beards and long hair?"
The Yankee owner showed him a small pond beyond the outfield fence.
"You see that pond?" Steinbrenner asked. "Walk across that pond and you can have a beard and long hair."
He was able to show up his players with his wit and intelligence.
Along with being able to hold power, Steinbrenner was often at the center of controversy and attention. When free agency first became available in Major League Baseball, he signed huge free agents such as Reggie Jackson and Dave Winfield. Many fans of other teams criticized Steinbrenner for "buying championships and big name players."
Not only that, but Steinbrenner was known for making questionable remarks about his players and even acting on those feelings. Winfield was an example of that. In 1980, he called out Winfield claiming that he wasn't producing. He was removed by Fay Vincent, the commissioner of baseball at the time, for paying a gambler to "dig up dirt" on Winfield.
And that wasn't the first time King George was involved with controversy.
Prior to the Winfield situation, Steinbrenner was suspended by Bowie Kuhn in 1974 for pleading guilty to making illegal contributions to Richard Nixon's re-election campaign. But in lieu of all the controversy, Steinbrenner always made his way back to baseball and the Yanks.
Forgive and forget.
Although he was sometimes a difficult person, his sense of humor was apparent in his personality. He was featured on the television show Seinfeld, portrayed as a funny, eccentric man and the boss of George Costanza on the show. In reality, Steinbrenner loved it. He once said about the character, "You have to laugh at yourself, sometimes."
His eccentric nature was evidenced during the 2000 World Series. A water pipe had burst in the visitors' clubhouse at Shea Stadium, and Steinbrenner bent over the help clean up the mess. He said the Mets were probably responsible.
Along with that, he thought the Mets were spying on the Yankees with monitors, trying to figure out their game plan in order to win the title. David Cone played into the Boss's speculation when he noticed a microphone under one of the tables in the clubhouse.
"Boss, there's the microphone!" Cone joked.
Steinbrenner screamed to have the mic removed and the wire cut.
Buster Olney, former Yankee beat writer and author of "The Last Night of the Yankee Dynasty" described Steinbrenner as an owner who "Would never entrust his team to God. It would mean giving up too much control."
According to Olney, Steinbrenner could be both gracious and ruthless; both happy and scared. One executive (whom Olney did not name in his book) said, "He would pull over on the side of the road and give money to someone, then hours later he would cut the benefits of his employees. It made no sense."
When the Yanks played in the World Series all the years Steinbrenner was owner, he was always convinced disaster was looming. The times the Yanks did win it all, his euphoria would never last. The day after the team won, he would be on the phones and in meetings, trying to figure out how to win the next year.
Winning was Steinbrenner's number one priority. He was even quoted as saying, "Winning is the most important thing in my life, after breathing. Breathing first, and then winning."
In a 2002 interview, Steinbrenner said he wanted this inscribed on his tombstone:
"He never stopped trying."
And looking at his accolades and his body of work, Steinbrenner never did stop trying; he put forth his best effort in everything he did and usually triumphed in the end. The Boss put the Yankees back on the map and at the front of the marquee. He may have been loved by few and hated by many, but the bottom line is, he was respected by all.

I got to know George Steinbrenner through baseball, and I am a better fan becuase of it.
The man brought the Yankees from a American legacy, to an Internationally recognized icon in matter of a decade. From a shipbuilder to a builder of baseball's most esteemed dynasty..He will be remembered with tears and cheers tonight at the All-Star game.
I personally have met him and have always been in awe of his strength, devotion and determination to be the best at everything he takes on in life. I bet St. Peter soon will be arguing with Steinbrenner because the wings do not come in pinstripes.

Love all those stories, A.J., especially the one about George and Lou and the facial hair. So funny! This has been quite a week for Yankee fans with two huge losses.
A.J.: You are so right. EVERYONE respected George Steinbrenner, despite whatever faults he may have had. What a man. I hope he's enjoying Heaven. I wonder how he and Billy Martin are getting along?

I believe that when the ancient aliens came it was from somewhere in orion they came from. The uncanny resemblance of orion and the layout of the egyptian pryamids is probably not a coincidence. When the pryamids of south america are all finally discovered there will probably be a correlation with orion or another constellation also. All the better to give further proof of ancient alien involvement with man on this planet.Jaxerback posted:7/15/2013 8:40:45 PM Two stars..whohooo!! I think the ancients were captivated by Orions belt simply because it appeared straight(ish),hence the slight deviation of the pyramids layout. Personally speaking I think the ancient alien theory is just too outlandish to be credible.Give our ancestors some credit.They had as much grey matter in their skulls as we have today...(neanderthals arguably had more). Gary is a perfect example....just kidding 107.LincolnGenghis posted:7/15/2013 9:25:26 PM Well the one thing allot of people do not realize is what the sky really looked like back then. We have so much light pollution worldwide (Yes that is a real term) that nobody is really seeing the sky the way it really was in those days. Orion would have looked brilliant and everyone would have been fascinated by it . All the stars in general were viewed in awe. They were used for navigation keeping track of time ect.. It would be well within reason that there could have been many tales made up about them. I am not trying to discount the alien angle but everything should be factored in on the matter to arrive at a more solid conclusion on the whole thing. Jaxerback posted:7/15/2013 10:08:32 PM no light pollution in rural Ireland...the nearest town is 30 km away..stars are cool!! bobprin posted:7/16/2013 6:01:54 AM How strange our planet must look from space. Why do we need light to see by at night? It would seem that a living organism which spends half of its existance in darkness would not need any artifical means to hunt or defend itself. Our lights we use at night are like a flashing neon sign to any outside observer.gary107 posted:7/16/2013 8:45:23 AM they are discovering more about fire in low gravity. Materials burn in a different manner out there in space, new techniques to manufacturing coming our way? Big improvements? Our Earth "turns" on and off or appears to do so at a certain great distance when looking back at it. Maybe something about this planet or materials in "empty space" between the observer and this world. Space may prove not to be so "empty." What is seen in rural areas is missed by city dwellers here in America. Orion seemed meaningful from an early age, perhaps the three large stars in a box type shape. First nation folk used one of those stars to test the eyesight of their children. One is a binary star system that can be seen as two stars by those with good enough sight. African tribes that moved east into the Nile river valley claim their people first came from a star in Orion. Sirius [dog star] can be seen in Egypt near the time to bring in the crops.

Woman denies shorting Eagles Club $800January 25,2013Woman denies shorting Eagles Club $800
BENNINGTON A Main Street woman is facing criminal charges after police said she cashed at least nine checks while an employee at the Eagles Club, leaving the club at a loss for more than $800.
Jasmine L. Millette, 25, of Bennington, was arraigned in Bennington criminal court Tuesday on nine misdemeanor charges of using false tokens to obtain less than $900. Millette pleaded innocent to the charges and was released on $5,000 bail.
In an affidavit, Officer David Rowland, of the Bennington Police Department, said he had originally been contacted by a representative of the Eagles Club in late 2011. Rowland said he was given copies of checks Millette wrote from her account in November and December, 2011, and cashed at the club although there were insufficient funds to cover the checks.
Rowland said he spoke to Millette at the time and she agreed to work out a repayment plan. However, Rowland said he later learned Millette had not made repayment. The clubs officials asked Rowland to resume the process of pursuing criminal charges.
According to Rowland, Millette did not return calls and failed to meet him at the police station as he requested. He said numerous attempts to locate her were unsuccessful.
Charges were filed in November 2012 and an arrest warrant, which was served Tuesday, was issued.
According to Rowland, Millette has a criminal record in Vermont.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of... Full StoryVermont fish hatchery changes focus, looks inland

Vanessa and Klaudia Hot
But then the physician has a surprise as Vanessa suddenly wields a huge flesh-colored strap-on which juts out of her crotch! Klaudia sucks it, getting herself in the mood for riding it cowgirl style on the exam table, which gives Vanessa plenty of opportunity to suck on those Hot hooters! Vanessa bangs Klaudia in doggie style, fondling her boobs at the same time; but then Klaudia gets into the strap-on act, putting the dong on herself and getting the good doctor down on her knees to suck it. Vanessa tit-fucks the rubber shaft, too, and then she kneels on a stool while Klaudia powers into her from behind. Things heat up further when Vanessa climbs on top of the prick for some reverse cowgirl and rides the shaft while sucking on her own knobs. Looks to us like both of these babes have earned a very clean bill of health--because gettin' down and dirty with beautiful boobs from time to time will do that for ya!

Engineers and workers on Monday morning checked the site where a 4-foot boulder crashed into a townhouse in Hawaii Kai during heavy rains.
The boulder hit a parking pillar at the bottom level of the complex. It happened just before 7:30 p.m. Sunday at 400 Kawaihae St.
No one was home at the time of the crash, police said.
Crews warned residents that there is a potential for more boulders to come crashing down.
The land above the townhouse belongs to Kamehameha Schools. The organization sent an inspector to the scene, neighbors said.
"We are thankful no one was hurt in this incident. Our initial site inspection could not pinpoint the origin of the boulder; however, we have been in touch with the homeowner association's property manager who is working with their insurance carrier to address the immediate situation. We will know better what our next steps will be as more information about this incident becomes available," Kamehameha Schools spokesman Kekoa Paulsen said.
The homeowners did not stay in the unit overnight but returned Monday to inspect the damage.
"We have talked to Kamehameha schools and the property manager and the building manager. We are trying to figure out where the boulder came from and where the property lines are and the contractor is coming out to make sure the building is stable," Darin Shigeta.
Neighbors say recently, smaller rocks have come down the hillside. Long time residents say about 25 years ago another large boulder rolled down and hit a pillar not far from the unit that was damaged Sunday night.

Behind the Screens with Joshua Maloni
By now, you'd think everyone in Hollywood would welcome a chance to voice a character on "The Simpsons."
To say the show is iconic is like saying water is wet or Homer likes doughnuts.
"The Simpsons" is the longest-running scripted show in American television history. It's also the longest-running animated program and longest-running cartoon. In 1999, Time magazine called "The Simpsons" the best television series of the 20th century. The show has more Emmys than a museum, its 500-plus episodes have netted millions (if not hundreds of millions) of viewers, and its promotional tie-ins have flooded the shelves of retail stores around the world.
Everyone from Phil Hartman to Steve Martin to Jackie Mason to Meryl Streep to Glenn Close to Winona Ryder has voiced a character on "The Simpsons." Tony Bennett was the first guest to appear as himself. Paul and Linda McCartney once taught Lisa a lesson on culinary tolerance, while Aerosmith and U2 have patronized Moe's Tavern. Magic Johnson once "Pulled a Homer." David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson reprised their "X Files" characters in one episode, and Johnnie Carson paid tribute to Krusty the Clown in another.
Paul Newman, Bob Hope, Elizabeth Taylor, Adam West, Leonard Nimoy: Yup, each stopped in Springfield.
And yet, for whatever reason, there are stars who have yet to go yellow.
"Yes, occasionally (we are told "no")," Executive Producer Al Jean said. "I've said before, there are people that even asked to be on, and then we wrote them a part, and then they declined. I won't name them. Alright, I will: Jon Bon Jovi."
Of the multitude of guest stars to grace "The Simpsons," Jean said he has "a bunch" of favorite appearances.
"I'd have to say Phil Hartman was absolutely wonderful," he said "Kelsey Grammar has been incredibly memorable in every part that he's done for us. Anne Hathaway won an Emmy for her role on the show. Kiefer Sutherland was terrific."
In Sunday's season 24 premiere, Zooey Deschanel, Anne Hathaway, Natalie Portman and Sarah Michelle Gellar all reprised their roles as Bart's paramours. Jon Lovitz will be featured in next week's annual "Treehouse of Horror" episode. Additional guest stars this season include Edward Norton, Janet Reno, Benedict Cumberbatch, Steve Carell and Tina Fey.
"The Simpsons" airs Sundays at 8 p.m. on FOX.

Spring Games Set To Begin
The Phillies take to the field tonight for the first real action of Spring Training in an exhibition game against Florida State. JA Happ will be the starting pitcher followed by Phillippe Aumont, Yohan Flande, Drew Naylor, Joe Savery, Jesus Sanchez and David Herndon. All eyes will be on Aumont as he was one of the prospects the Phillies got in the Cliff Lee trade. Many are anxious to see if the risk will pay off.
Shane Victorino has been left off the starting line-up for precautionary reasons.
Victorino has been suffering from a sore shoulder and the team will likely not want to push him. It does not seem serious, but it is usually better to be safe than sorry. John Mayberry Jr. will fill in at center and Greg Dobbs gets the nod as the DH. But as is usual in Spring games, the starters will probably not play long, giving the team a chance to look at some prospects. Game time is 7:05pm.
The game everyone is waiting for though is tomorrow's match up against the Yankees with Roy Halladay on the mound. It will be the team's first look at their off-season prize in live game action. The talk about Halladay's work ethic, poise and electric arm has been non-stop since he signed. Finally, it is time to see some results. Tomorrow's game starts at 1pm and will be carried on Comcast Sportsnet and then replayed on The MLB Network at 7pm.
And now for the disturbing news of the week: Phillies fans know Hall of Fame pitcher Jim Bunning as the man who pitched the only perfect game in Phillies history on June 24, 1964 which happened to be Father's Day as well. Considered one of the best Phillies players in history, Bunning is also one of only six pitchers ever to throw both a perfect game and a no-hitter in his career. So as a baseball player, Bunning gets two thumbs up. As a politician, not so much…
Bunning has served in the Kentucky State Senate since 1998 and in 2006, Time magazine dubbed him one of "America's Five Worst Senators." He routinely misses Senate floor votes and on Christmas Eve 2009, he was the only senator to skip the vote on the historic health care reform bill. Adding more fuel to the fire this month, Bunning single-handedly blocked a 30-day extension of federal unemployment benefits when more than 200,000 unemployed Americans were set to lose benefits. The proposal of unanimous consent on any legislation like this is generally reserved for situation where no one is going to object. Essentially, the proposal is thought to be a no-brainer….that is, for everyone on the planet except Jim Bunning.
The Senate was attempting to avoid a massive hit to the economy and considered the extension an emergency. After receiving public spankings from both Democrats and Republicans, Bunning finally relented on Tuesday night and the legislation was passed, but not before Bunning made a total as*s out of himself. Wait a second, I though the "as*s" was the symbol of the Democratic party?
We still love you in Philly Jim, but please, do America a favor and get out of politics while you still have some dignity left. Let us all remember you as the guy who tossed the only Phillies perfect game and not the guy who tried to make 200,000 angry, unemployed people storm his house, tie him and up and force him to watch tape of the 1964 Phillies collapse; they dropped 10 consecutive games at the end of the season and lost the Division after being in first place with a 3-game lead. This type of torture is cruel and unusual punishment. Please, don't make us do it…we don't want to remember that year either.

No comment on Bunning. A** doesn't begin to describe him as a politician. On a much brighter note, I'm looking forward to Thursday's Yanks-Phils game too. I know you'll love having Halladay front your rotation. He really is special.
I respect Bunning as a player but the man is and always has been an attention wh0re. I'm not surprised at his actions. At all. *sigh*
You guys are really gonna enjoy Halladay, I assure you, win or lose (even though it's unlikely) he's something different.
So have no comment on Bunning cause he is an AS* however Halladay was phenomenal today, and yes spring training game, but the Phil's spoiled the Yankee come back, I could almost hear the Yankee fans cheering in the top of the 9th then screaming oh Sh*t in the bottom… still felt good no matter how unimportant the game may have been…:-)
Outside the Phillies Looking In
there was a political cartoon in my student paper today with Bunning. him flippin off unemployed workers. the finger was censored out and i never understood what exactly went down til i saw your post. thanks for educaing this political inept college student

Chevy Camaro 1992, Lambo Door Conversion Kit by Vertical Doors®. Includes: 2 Gas Shocks, 2 Front Vertical Doors, Inc., Lambo Door Hinges (one for each side), All Mounting Hardware. REQ. MODS. Drill and Tap. This bolt-on Lambo door conversion replaces your door hinges so the door opens out a few inches and then rotates up instead of swinging out.
- Patented mechanism
- Made from hardened, domestic steel
- Gas shock counterbalances weight of door so it opens and closes with one finger
- Does not require any extra width for door opening over standard door
- All products are backed with a limited lifetime warranty, while the shocks come with a 6-month warranty
- Made in the USA
- Completely Reversible
Nothing grabs the eye like a Lambo door, especially when it's not on a Lamborghini. It's perhaps the most eye-catching, compelling modification you can make to a custom car. And one that won't flag you as a Bad Boy to the cops when you're driving normally through traffic, like a big-ass wing or full body kit would. But talk about making an entrance: a set of Lambo doors will really set your car apart.
Vertical Doors does it right. Their patented mechanism is manufactured here in the USA, from hardened steel. However, installation can be a challenge because it requires some drilling and welding, so if you're not a mechanically inclined person, professional installation might be a better solution. Vertical Doors uses a gas spring strut as part of the mechanism so the door actually opens and closes with little effort. The near-vertical arc swept by the door means that you can ingress and egress your car easily even in normal-width parking lots.
In business since 2003 Vertical Doors literally owns the patents on their door hinge. Replace your factory door hinge, and make your car as unusual as a Lamborghini. They also have a catalog of hinges, latches and accessories for converting your car to suicide doors. With a facility in Corona, CA where they engineer and manufacture their parts, they also install parts into customer cars on premises. That keeps the installers close to the product design people, and their product the best. By aggressively pursuing patent infringers, who often make an inferior product, Vertical Doors makes sure your conversion will be the best.
