There's no stopping Provy-based producer Falside the Beatsmith, who just released his most recent "seasonal beat tape," Snare Conditioning, and has plenty more in store by year's end, as he hand-crafts beats for some of the finest local and national indieground wordsmiths.
Kevin Fallon was raised "on a lake in the woods, deep in the sticks of West Greenwich, RI" and broke north to Boston immediately following high school with college aspirations, all the while honing his craft as a "beatsmith," or producer.
"My goals in Boston quickly shifted as things took off in music, and then I hit a few personal speed bumps — both figuratively and literally," Falside recalled when we caught up earlier this week. "I woke up in a local Providence detox, and decided to ultimately make this city my home."
Falside started the seasonally-inspired mixtapes in '09, releasing some serious boom-bap instrumentals along the way, like Cold Feat, Bugs In Ya Teef and one of my favorite albums of '10, Fall, Stand the Fuck Up.
"I started getting more experimental with my approach to promoting and making music, and I wanted to do something consistently dope that would reach far outside the city walls of Providence.
"The seasons generally affect my sound, and I channeled that into instrumental projects and decided to give them away on the internet for free," he said.
"It was a wise move."
Around the same time, Fal connected with venerable PVD rhyme collective Poorly Drawn People and stepped right in as an integral part of the pack, working with PDP's Reason on his solo disc, Landlords & Lullabies. He eventually provided beats and remix services for luminaries like C-Ray Walz, Wiz Kalifa, El Da Sensei, Jeru the Damaja, and Slaine of La Coka Nostra. DJ Premier shouted out his collabo with Emilio Lopez on his web radio show. It's a remarkable resume considering he's not even 23 years old.
"There is always that 'awe factor' when working with legends — I'm not that desensitized yet," said Fal.
"It's crazy, I've been fucking blessed."
The latest seasonal mixes, Beats for Spring and Snare Conditioning, boom with ol-skool swagger and neck-bobbing cuts and beats. Fans of Entroducing-era DJ Shadow will soak up Snare Conditioning's "Alone Together," "Green Tea and Nicotine," "Real G's Rock Tapes" (he's releasing a limited run of Snare cassettes), and the stoned "Stack of Boom Bap."
On the local front, Falside will pair with Juan Deuce (new single "Jimmy Buffet" is stellar) and drop the The Monty Brogan EP featuring Dirty Hank and Reason, and was talking up the forthcoming release with hard-hitting Queens rhymer Action Bronson. The next full-length instrumental album, Creative Capital Beatsmith, is slated for late '11.
And while we nominated him under Best DJ on this year's Best Music Poll ballot (hey, we had to include him on there somewhere), Falside politely clarified, "I prefer the 'beatsmith' or 'producer' title because I rarely get behind the wheels of steel unless I'm sampling."
As for the local wordsmiths hooting and hollering all over the open mic circuit — step your game up. You never know when Falside could be out scouting talent while posted up at the bar pounding beers. His tough-love outlook should not be taken as disrespect, though.

We extracted 55 gals with the three coasters. Perfect! Thanks so much for the information.
We extracted 55 gals with the three coasters. Perfect! Thanks so much for the information.
I am jealous, yours looks better than mine. LOL Nice cutout for the honey gate, love it! Also, great idea on the added height, I may have to take mine and modify it to match yours what a plus it would be to use a full 5gal bucket and still be able to change strainers. I use a 3.5gal when I extracted, but that was because I could not put a 5gal under with the strainer.
Nice job!

Well thank you. I would not have had this success without the suggestions and ideas you and others on this site so freely shared. This forum is a fabulous source of information! Anyway...truth be known...I started with a small opening for the cleaning water to drain out of the bucket depression and then realized after mounting the honey gates on the bucket the opening needed further opening. Fortunately I had not applied the finish before I realized this. I used the unit Sunday for the first time and it worked flawlessly. I would not have known to put the base on three wheels had I not read about the advantages on this forum. The unit wiggled a bit and shimmied a bit but never walked around and it was sitting on a smooth hard surface floor, Pergo to be exact. Sooooooooooo... Hats off to this forum for helping me...
What capacity wheels would one use on an 18-22 frame extractor?
I just went to Home Depot and purchased the 2 1/2 in hard castors. They have a 132lb capacity. That is per castor, so you shouldn't be exceeding the weight limit with 3 castors even with your 18/22 frame extractor.What capacity wheels would one use on an 18-22 frame extractor? .
Here is a link to the castor I used: http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1...&storeId=10051
They do have heavy duty castors available too if you are concerned about weight. I can tell you that the ones I got have performed flawlessly this year with my 12 frame extractor.
Good luck,

3 swivel casters with 3/8" studs through the leg mounting holes works fine. I don't understand the need for any platform or base? The casters give the height for a double strainer and 5 gallon bucket.
I put a "real" honey gate on my Maxant 1400. It extends out about 4" longer than the original. I tilt the unit kepping one foot jammed against one caster as I tilt it. At some point two front caters flop over and I can empty all but maybe a pound of honey/trash and the gate is inside the strainer. I just have to make sure I keep a hand on the side that is lower to keep it from kicking backward and falling over.
Why the bases & platforms?
I have used a piece of plywood with a large dot of silicon rubber at each corner to temporarily glue it to the floor. After the usage I cut the dots with my trusty hive tool and clean the rubber off the concrete. I would prefer anchors planted in the floor if I would ever decide for sure where to put them.
I doubt that it is really necessary but my uneducated, yet mechanical, mind makes me inclined to believe that the energy spent on allowing the extractor to move will relieve some stress on the bearings.
Either way I still don't think a platform or base does anything but as "stuff" to the extractor. Maybe I am missing a hidden benefit.
I love the 1400 extractor from Maxant but it does not like spinning an unbalanced load. The extractor will spin a lot easier and needs less friction from the knob when there is balance inside the tub. I know that balance is better after throwing out the bulk of the honey from the frames but I've loaded mine down with over 15 deep frames and 5 mediums several times. If it is balanced to the point that it doesn't start to wobble upon initial starting rotation it is usually going to spin fine. If I try to force it to spin a load that isn't balanced it will never get up enough steam to throw the honey. I think it has to do with the way the friction system works and I can appreciate this and live with it.
It is great equipment IMO.
"Challenger" as in the Mopar muscle car. Not a personality description .
Keeping bees to raise money for chordoma.
You guys have me convinced to try some wheels on my new 20 frame.
3 wheels work great and relieves the stress on the entire system.
I plan on doing my extracting in the garage so I will bolt mine to the floor 3 small holes in the concrete 3/16 " to run some Tap Cons in when done back them out until next time . Simple easy and sturdy.
The 3 casters work great.......IF, IF you've a balanced load! That does not happen too often. I started off with a wobble, advanced to a slow dance, then ended up doing the shag with the extractor leading!!! Now it's bolted to the garage floor when in use..........

Mounted 3 castors to the legs of our 20 frame Maxant last week. I'm very surprised how well it it did.
Can you fit a 5 gallon bucket under the honey gate with yours bolted to the garage floor? I'm thinking of bolting mine down this weekend.
I have a Maxalt 20 frame that's bolted down and a 5 gallon bucket fits under the gate but just barely so I use a 4. The clearance isn't enough with a 5 imo for changing the screens etc.
We have a 4' x 4' piece of half inch plywood with three flat-head bolts protruding up, held in by T-nuts. The feet of the extractor bolt down to the plywood, and we stand on the plywood. If it had the audacity to move, at least we would move with it.
Eventually we'll build a honey room with anchor points in the floor.

Americans and the Economy Need More Help
Original post made by stephen levy, University South, on Dec 5, 2009
But the end of job losses does not tell us when job gains will begin or how strong they will be. Unless job gains are much larger than currently expected, unemployment rates will remain above 8% for many years.
We can and should strive to do better.
The Obama administration is considering a new round of federal assistance to spur job growth. Americans deserve a smart and bold approach to further aid to help the economy and the millions of Americans who have lost jobs, income, houses or all of these.
The next round of federal assistance should focus on two clear and generally bipartisan objectives: 1) extending safety net spending and 2) making investments that offer a double or triple bottom line return.
We should extend safety net spending because the recession has gone on longer than expected and families are about to lose unemployment and health insurance benefits, not because the economy is in recovery, but because we misjudged how long these programs would be needed. Safety net spending includes unemployment insurance, help in paying for COBRA health insurance coverage for unemployed workers, food stamps and Medicaid coverage.
The reasons for federal safety net funding have not ended so the funding should continue. In addition economists agree that safety net programs like unemployment insurance and food stamps have the largest "bang for the buck".
Beyond extending safety net spending to honor America's social contract with people thrown out of work through no fault of their own, we should target remaining funding to programs that offer a "double or triple bottom line investment" a phrase first coined by Phil Angelides as California's treasurer.
Investments can be in people, in infrastructure and in programs that offer energy efficiency. These investments offer a "twofer". Infrastructure spending is the other category of federal aid with a large "bang for the buck" in terms of immediate job and income creation, but careful investments also provide an ongoing stream of benefits because they create assets that increase incomes or reduce costs for years into the future.
These assets can be transportation improvements, energy efficiency (the administration is considering a "cash for caulkers" program to spur weatherization) and a labor force with better skills.
A portion of this safety net and investment spending should be directed to helping state and local governments that are struggling to maintain services and investments for the future.
It is criminal that students and workers are being turned away from education and training at precisely the time when it is most needed and when people have time because they are unemployed. We are not acting like a nation that believes our future depends on the skill of our labor force.
And we get a triple bottom line if these investments create jobs now, leave a lasting stream of income gains or cost savings and address energy efficiency and other environmental goals.
Sadly the Debate over Past Federal Aid and Future Proposals will Continue
Our politics has become both timid and opportunistic. We have been in a mostly silly and misdirected debate over past "stimulus" efforts and, unfortunately that will continue even while persistent unemployment eats at the fabric of families and society and leaves us further behind in the race to be competitive in the world economy.
Republicans will criticize Obama's new initiatives partly for ideological reasons and partly for political reasons. I fear that if these were President McCain's proposals that Democrats would want to paint the long and lingering recession as his fault. Our politics is as if this were business as usual and not a serious period of economic distress.
The political debate also misses what I think is the real message from the disappointing economic indicators this year.
First, the $787 billion "stimulus" program is only one of a large arsenal of weapons thrown at the economic downturn including many that started before the November 2008 election and most that were bipartisan when approved. We have had interest rate cuts since 2007, the TARP program enacted before the election, ongoing support for financial and housing markets from the FHA, Federal Reserve Bank and Treasury and targeted tax credits for autos and housing.
If there is failure or frustration it cannot be linked to just one part of the massive effort launched to prevent even more serious economic turmoil or to start a recovery. All of these efforts combined have failed so far to launch a strong recovery in job growth.
To me the real message is that people and businesses are scared, are acting cautiously and have a major priority to rebuild their balance sheets and credit positions. All of these interest rate, tax and spending measures have not created enough customers to prompt businesses to expand production and hire more workers. For very sensible reasons our policies are facing a skeptical and fearful set of customers.
So the heavy lifting still needs to be done by government policies until consumers and businesses have the incentive to increase spending.
The government is needed versus government is evil debate is off point at best. The solid evidence is that government spending has the biggest immediate bang for the buck. I think the previous stimulus package was not sufficiently timely or targeted and it has given government stimulus efforts a bad name but we can do better this time.
But the money eventually gets spent in the private sector in any event. Infrastructure projects are done by private sector companies hiring workers and buying materials from other private sector companies. Unemployment insurance benefits are spent in the private sector economy as is nearly all of the extra safety net spending. Teachers and school janitors who have jobs through stimulus funding spend their income in the private sector.
And we are beginning to see the potential for energy grant funds to stimulate private sector venture capital activity.
So Let's get on with the Job of Turning the End of the Recession into the Beginning of a Strong Recovery
The need for additional federal assistance does not eliminate the need for a plan to reduce the deficit once the economy is in recovery. It does not eliminate the need to make sure that the money is spent wisely and quickly, which was not always done in the first stimulus program.
And it does not completely eliminate legitimate differences as to how best to structure the next round of spending although I think continuing the safety net and double bottom line investing are clear guidelines for sound funding strategies.

I prefer to eliminate all income taxes and capital gains taxes and inheritance taxes. We should be taxing consumption, both directly and via a VAT. Simply eliminating the capital gains tax would be a huge boost for small business...and they would start to hire. The elimination of the heavy burden of accountants and tax specialists dedicated to schemes minimizing taxation would also be a boon to business and government and individuals.
The one huge single thing that would make sense is to go on a crash program to build nuclear power plants. Private capital can and will fund these plants, but the government must allow them to be built. This would be a true triple bottom line investment. Of course, the electricity to be consumed from these plants would be taxed, like any other consumption product. The same basic argument works for solar and wind, but they are not serious candidates for base load electricity.
There are many things we should do, and could do, but just printing more money, and handing it out, is the wrong way to go. We need jobs, not welfare.

I prefer that all of the pork barrel spending that was put in the first "stimulus" bill be recalled and redirected to real (and honest) job initiatives. I'm still PO'd about that one...

Sarcasm alert...
No no no...let's keep doing what we are doing..giving water to a drowning man.
Economies have a natural expansion and contraction cycle, which nobody should mess with. But, of course, this time a natural contraction was distorted by and worsened by Fed govt interventions. Cpnservatives cried FOUL, but the Repubs and Dems both were so afraid to not "do something"..they did... unfortunately. So, Mr. Levy "bipartisan" just doesn't cut it when there is really just one party in power, the party of "bigger government" whether it is a Repub or a Dem.
Conservatives have been consistent. Go back to the original powers of the Feds. Stop messing around with free trade and distorting the ability of millions of people to drive our economy.
But, we didn't do that. We did the "bipartisan" wealth transfer and govt takeover solutions. Which addes more distortions and control by the Feds.
With GREAT RESULTS!! Which of course sent our economy into a faster tailspin. Which led the uninformed to believe that what we needed to do was elect into full and absolute power with no checks a party which wants to quadruple the glasses of water we are giving to the drowning man.
Honestly, McCain and his ilk in the Repub party were a huge part of the problem. They wanted to give 1 glass of water...still not good. Frankly, I am glad to watch the dreams come true of the leftists and have them take full responsiblity for the results. It will help clean up the Repub Party and bring it back to its roots.
But, in the meantime, clearly we need to have some more of the hair of the dog that bit us!
Let's do some more!
Time for a 3rd stimulus, since the first 2 have done such a great job! ( The first one was only about 300 billion, in the forms of checks to buy votes, remember that one?) And more regulations!! Time for more central power grabbing! More debt! More control of private businesses by Czars who haven't a clue! More separation of the market from the actual consumer, so the average consumer can't vote with his pocketbook!
Time to keep scaring investors away from our country, let alone scaring venture capitalists away from our businesses...since we have no clue how far this will go.
Mr. Levy, with all due respect, this sentence " The solid evidence is that government spending has the biggest immediate bang for the buck." is so patently proven false, so patently proven to be completely the opposite in multiplier factors and has been proven false sine Keynes first talked FDR into this fallacy, I have to wonder why you think it is acceptable to continue the myth.
When first proposed, in 1930 or so, before it was implemented and studied, it seemed to make sense. However, Keynes has long since been disproved, not only through economists, but through history. Few left still even rent the idea, let alone buy into it.
What do we need to do? Get Govt out of our way, let people invest and work and risk..and REAP THE BENEFITS of their work and investments..and start growing their businesses, their employees, their wealth..our tax base, our donation base, our economy.
Bring back a MASSIVE rich-poor gap..bring back flow-down wealth instead of flow-up poverty. Bring back tax coffers overflowing from a great economy.
Or not.

In favor of consumption taxes:
"It is a signal advantage of taxes on articles of consumption, that they contain in their own nature a security against excess. They prescribe their own limit; which cannot be exceeded without defeating the end proposed, that is, an extension of the revenue. When applied to this object, the saying is as just as it is witty, that, "in political arithmetic, two and two do not always make four .'' If duties are too high, they lessen the consumption; the collection is eluded; and the product to the treasury is not so great as when they are confined within proper and moderate bounds. This forms a complete barrier against any material oppression of the citizens by taxes of this class, and is itself a natural limitation of the power of imposing them."

Sounds good, good intentions, but I think we are so far away from doing whatever is reasonable for the American people.
The conversation is always about taxes and how to get away with paying little or no taxes, while the debt and deficit rise, the infrastructure ages and the damage that is done that we will never acknowledge or pay for to soldiers, or the workers just piles up.
Why is this country so self-righteous about everything we do, when we do very little compared with other developed countries? We justify it by empty appeals to religion and the Constitution, which is a great historic document, but the US Constitution is now the oldest or one of the oldest documents of its kind in the world at this point.
We have to change the way we work, and that is a long way off I fear, a lot of pain and misery and bad decisions and choices are still going to be made. We are not acting procactively, or intelligently. We are in the grips of minority elites who will do anything to justify their continued profit, people who are so far away from reality would need to be smacked over the head with it to see it.

Anon: We pay 30-40%, depending on which program, of th UN fees for all its programs, including all of its "giving" programs. Are we 30% of the population? No, we are 5%.
We give more per capita from our own after-tax pocketbooks to any disaster relief efforts than any other country in the world, either through the Red Cross or our local churches.
The conversation is not about how to get away with little or no taxes,..we are the 3rd highest corporate tax rate in the world..why do you think our corporations are moving to the lower corporoate tax rate countries?
We do, indeed, have one of the oldest documents of its kind in the world, and the REASON we still have it is because it works...a government whose job is to protect the individual rights to life, liberty and property ( translation....the fruits of your labor) protects a nation best and longest. A govt which decides it has the "job" of distributing the fruits of the labor of its people to those who didn't earn it rapidly falls apart. Not coincidentally, a country like that also does the best job of raising the standard of living of its lowest 20%, its poor in other words, as the water of economic activity raises the boat with everyone on it.
Study the history of our country. Study other countries. Look at the "great" utopian socialist countries of Europe right now. Compare their lowest 20% to ours in standard of living.
So, in one way you are right. We DO have to change BACK to the way we work when capitalism and freedom were still legal.
It is about, as you said< "We are in the grips of minority elites who will do anything to justify their continued... POWER , ( my replacement word) people who are so far away from reality would need to be smacked over the head with it to see it.".
We have been taken over by the Utopian dreams of the 60s, by people who never looked across the ocean to see what happened in just one generation to other countries that "succeeded" in implementing everything these guys are now trying to do. They never even looked north across our border to see what these "dreams of our parents" did even in Canada.
We have to go through this, for some reason, every 20-30 years. We did it in the 70s..and here we are already again.

Our direct foreign aid is tiny compared with other countries.
Corporate tax is very low here when you take into account how we permit the big companies to move money around off-shore to avoid taxes.
There is no evidence that redistributing wealth brings a country to its knees. The opposite is true. Compare the lowest 20% in Europe with our lowest 20% and then move to Europe.

First we should ask rich conservatives to pony up for their wars and interest we've been paying on all that debt. And for letting the infrastructure fall into ruin (infrastructure and stability they availed themselves of to make their money). And for the part of the economic collapse due to their rabid deregulation. For the health and environmental cleanup costs resulting from their polluting industries. And for their disproportionate use of and benefit from our security and strong military. At some point, they should be asked to pay their fair share. How much healthy international commerce would be have -- would the wealthy benefit from -- if our country and economy resembled Mexico more (the direction we're headed)?
We should go back at least halfway to the taxes of the wealthy in the Eisenhower years (which in case anyone didn't notice, happened with lots of prosperity then and to follow, and built the infrastructure and workforce of a great nation), pay off old debts, and invest in the future.
Concentrations of wealth and power stagnate economies.

America doesn't have a "social contract" with people. America was built on individual rights, not collectivism. Taking from the productive and giving to the unproductive won't build our economy. Everyone will benefit from an economy built on individual initiative.

Wray ... think "We the people" ... or maybe you do not believe in the Constitution. No one is talking about killing individual initiative, and the constant twisting of discussion based on posts like yours is such a waste of time.

The false arguments against Europe are just laughable. I have been around long enough to have heard about the imminent collapse of the European socialist countries for decades, and who is collapsing? Who is broke? Who is dead last in an increasing number of dimensions, and who is paying trillions of dollars they do not have to maintain troops in over 100 countries of the world.
So, what kind of talk is it that says in the US capitalism and freedom are illegal. Maybe the freedom to steal and rip off the public and to propagandize for a system that does not work? To give corporations rights over people, and put people under such pressure they cannot stand up for their human rights. This is just a disinformational argument in favor of fascism.

The challenge facing the economy now is that there are not enough custormers. Businesses and consumers are cautious and interested in rebuilding their balance sheets.
That is why it is still up to federal programs to be the customer of last resort through direcing money where it will get put back into the economy and create private sector customers. This can be infrastructure, safety net spending and aid to state and local governments.
Today's Wall Street Journal provides evidence for this view in interviews with small business owners in response to Obama's tax incentive proposals for small businesses.
"Business owners across the country said they appreciate the recent attention to their plight, but say that for the credit to make a difference they need to see more specifics--and more customers.
"Give me a tax so I can hire somebody? That's not a really big incentive for me," said Mark Simcavage of Simcavage Corp, a Blakeslee, PA commerical evacuation company that employs four. "We need customers in the door".
Most owners interviewed in the article agreed that lack of custormers was the big barrier to hiring.
The normal incentives of very low interest rates and tax cuts have been of only some help in getting job growth going. Policies that work in normal business cycles will not work fast enough when businesses and residents have seen a sharp decline in their wealth and the combination of legitimate caution and fear have taken over.
Americans and the economy need more help and I hope that President Obama is bold in funding the initiatives he laid out on Tuesday.
a resident of Duveneck/St. Francis

Obama is not "funding" these initiatives, number one; and if he were funding them it would be from the left pocket to right pocket, so no increase in wealth either.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Zack Greinke added to his century-best run on a historic night for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Greinke pitched six strong innings, Juan Uribe had two RBI and the Dodgers earned their 10,000th victory in franchise history, 6-4 against the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday night.
Greinke (5-0) struck out six and didn't allow an earned run through drizzling rain and temperatures that dipped into the 30s. He now has gone 18 straight regular-season starts of at least five innings while allowing two runs or fewer, the longest run since 1914.
He also has opened a season with wins in five consecutive decisions for the first time since he was 6-0 in his AL Cy Young Award season of 2009.
"My stuff was a lot better then," Greinke said. "I'm locating better, being smarter. I've gotten a lot of help here, nice defensive plays."
The Dodgers join the Giants, Cubs and Braves as the only franchises to win 10,000 games.
Manager Don Mattingly has been around for 275 of those victories. The laid-back former Yankee quipped that he might even keep a souvenir ball from this milestone victory.
"If I can get one, it wouldn't be bad to have one," Mattingly said. "It feels pretty good."
With the bases loaded and the Twins trailing 5-1 in the seventh, reliever Chris Withrow got Trevor Plouffe to pop out to shortstop on a 3-0 pitch to end the threat.
Plouffe's two-run double in the ninth made it 6-4, but Kenley Jansen retired Chris Colabello to earn his 10th save in 12 chances.
"That's why he's here. A chance for him," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said about Plouffe getting the green light on 3-0. "Get him in a fastball situation like that, that's what we want to see, and he took a rip."
Adrian Gonzalez, Andre Ethier and Yasiel Puig each added two hits and an RBI.
Eduardo Escobar had a career-high four hits and two RBI for the Twins.
It rained most of the day on Wednesday and a tarp covered the pitcher's mound and batter's box at Target Field 15 minutes before first pitch.
"It was a good game for us, a little bit of weather," Mattingly said. "You didn't hear any complaining. Guys were ready to play."
Greinke wasn't fazed, and won his 12th game in 17 starts since Aug. 5. The right-hander has pitched at least five innings and allowed two runs or fewer in 18 consecutive regular-season starts.
With Minnesota up 1-0, Drew Butera slid headfirst and touched home just ahead of Kurt Suzuki's tag after Hanley Ramierz singled to left in the third.
Manager Ron Gardenhire challenged the safe call by home plate umpire Chris Segal, but lost after the call was confirmed following a 2-minute replay review.
Uribe's two-run single made it 5-1 in the seventh.
Minnesota advanced a runner at least to second base six times against Greinke, but couldn't break through beyond Escobar's double.
Greinke had been 0-3 with a 5.63 ERA at Target Field entering Wednesday.
"I thought we made him work really hard tonight," Gardenhire said. "But he's a competitor. He always seems to find a way to get deep in the game and he makes pitches when he has to."
Kyle Gibson (3-2) allowed five runs in 6 2/3 innings and lost his second successive start after beginning the season 3-0 with a 0.93 ERA.
Twins second baseman Brian Dozier did his best to help Gibson. When Gonzalez's grounder to first took a bad hop and ricocheted of Joe Mauer's shoulder, Dozier hustled over, dove, and scooped the ball to Gibson with his glove for the out.
Tuesday's series opener was postponed due to wintry weather and the two teams are scheduled to play a doubleheader on Thursday.
Dan Haren (3-0, 2.03 ERA) will start the first game of Thursday's doubleheader for the Dodgers. Mattingly said Red Patterson will "probably" be called up as the 26th man to start the night game. ... Mike Pelfrey (0-2, 7.32) will start the first game for Minnesota and Kris Johnson will make his major league debut in the nightcap. ... Injured ace Clayton Kershaw makes his second minor league rehab start on Wednesday. If all goes well, Mattingly said Kershaw could rejoin the rotation later this week. ... The Target Field scoreboard displayed the score of Game 7 between the Minnesota Wild and Colorado Avalanche in the NHL playoffs.

Video: Obama's speech in Newtown
posted at 8:01 am on December 17, 2012 by Ed Morrissey
While the nation mourned the horrific murders at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut, Barack Obama arrived to deliver a message of political action. What kind of action? Despite some of the initial reactions to Obama's speech at the prayer vigil last night, a read of the transcript shows that the speech was as vague on solutions as most of us have felt since the shootings on Friday. Certainly, one could have some suspicions about the direction that Obama and his administration would like to travel for solutions, but other than promise to study the situation, Obama offered no easy proposals to solve the problems of brokenness, however one defines it:
Here is the most relevant part of the speech:
We can't tolerate this anymore. These tragedies must end. And to end them, we must change. We will be told that the causes of such violence are complex, and that is true. No single law — no set of laws can eliminate evil from the world, or prevent every senseless act of violence in our society.
But that can't be an excuse for inaction. Surely, we can do better than this. If there is even one step we can take to save another child, or another parent, or another town, from the grief that has visited Tucson, and Aurora, and Oak Creek, and Newtown, and communities from Columbine to Blacksburg before that — then surely we have an obligation to try.
In the coming weeks, I will use whatever power this office holds to engage my fellow citizens — from law enforcement to mental health professionals to parents and educators — in an effort aimed at preventing more tragedies like this. Because what choice do we have? We can't accept events like this as routine. Are we really prepared to say that we're powerless in the face of such carnage, that the politics are too hard? Are we prepared to say that such violence visited on our children year after year after year is somehow the price of our freedom?
But Obama never went any further toward providing his own answers to those questions. Instead, he returned to the tenor of the vigil service:
All the world's religions — so many of them represented here today — start with a simple question: Why are we here? What gives our life meaning? What gives our acts purpose? We know our time on this Earth is fleeting. We know that we will each have our share of pleasure and pain; that even after we chase after some earthly goal, whether it's wealth or power or fame, or just simple comfort, we will, in some fashion, fall short of what we had hoped. We know that no matter how good our intentions, we will all stumble sometimes, in some way. We will make mistakes, we will experience hardships. And even when we're trying to do the right thing, we know that much of our time will be spent groping through the darkness, so often unable to discern God's heavenly plans.
There's only one thing we can be sure of, and that is the love that we have — for our children, for our families, for each other. The warmth of a small child's embrace — that is true. The memories we have of them, the joy that they bring, the wonder we see through their eyes, that fierce and boundless love we feel for them, a love that takes us out of ourselves, and binds us to something larger — we know that's what matters. We know we're always doing right when we're taking care of them, when we're teaching them well, when we're showing acts of kindness. We don't go wrong when we do that.
In the face of such evil and horror, a little humility isn't a bad quality to demonstrate. We'll see whether that sticks, but the speech itself — on its own terms — expresses the anger, frustration, and grief that all Americans still feel after Newtown: how can we fix this? And perhaps the greater frustration: Is it really in our power to fix it?
Update: I wrote that the shootings took place on Thursday, but they took place on Friday. I've fixed it above.

Buying fresh produce from local farmers
EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA - Farmer's markets and roadside stands are commonplace in Eastern Carolina, and perhaps you've shopped at them. But did you know there are nutritional and economical reasons why buying from local farmers makes it a win-win?
First, local farmers are just that - local. When you buy from them, they and their employees spend much of that money in our own communities. Buying local is good for our local economies, but it's also good for your health.
We headed out to Garner's Farm in Newport, where farmer Clayton Garner, Jr., tells us "we've been in the produce {farming} for over 30 years, been farming for over 70 years."
The grow more than a dozen fruits and veggies on the farm right off Highway 70, and here family runs as deep as the vegetable roots. Brandon, Clayton's step-son, runs the farm stand in James City in Craven County. You'll often find Clayton's mother, Terri, at the farm stand in Newport. Clayton's father, wife and other family members also work hard to run this Carteret County farm, where customers come looking for locally-grown produce.
Why the desire for local? "I think two reasons - one is the freshness and two is the fact that we grew it. We know what we've done what we haven't done," says Garner.
Experts say one of the biggest benefits to buying local is that you can buy produce and know it was picked just this morning.
"Because it is fresh. As soon as they pick that fruit or veggie, it starts to loose nutrients, so the quicker you get it to the table, the healthier it is for you," explains Colleen Bucher, a registered dietitian with Vidant Health Systems.
To get those maximum nutritional benefits from "just-picked" produce, you can head to the farm or places like farmer's markets. At the one in New Bern, you can pick up fresh goods from places like Putnam Family Farms from Kinston. Steve Putnam says his fruits and veggies have the added benefit of no pesticides.
Prices are typically about the same as the grocery stores.
Fresh, local, family farms - all reasons Catherine Elkins with the Carteret Local Food Network makes sure those looking for fresh and local produce can find it.
"We publish a map that identifies for readers, all the places they can participate in local food," says Elkins.
The group exists to make sure our farming families keep their roots growing here in Eastern Carolina. "It's a source of food security to be able to have our own farmers."

NEW YORK -- Newly acquired point guard Jose Calderon is in the starting lineup for his Detroit Pistons debut against the New York Knicks.
Calderon was cleared to play earlier Monday and is in the lineup alongside Brandon Knight in the backcourt. The Spanish-born point guard had been unable to play for his new team because of unresolved visa issues.
He got in just a little practice time with his team, which had only limited time on the floor when it arrived at Madison Square Garden because the Knicks were using it.
Detroit acquired Calderon from Toronto as part of a three-team trade last Wednesday that included the Pistons trading Tayshaun Prince to Memphis and the Grizzlies dealing Rudy Gray to the Raptors. Calderon couldn't play for the Pistons on Friday against the Cleveland Cavaliers or Sunday against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Last year my wife and I purchased a GloryBee "brazilian mesh" suit. It is very nice since it is light-weight, airy, and sting-proof. We would like to purchase another suit but unfortunately they have stopped selling the suit (except for the small size). Does anyone know of a good substitute for such a suit? I do know that magnet-man has re-started production of his suit which would be a good replacement ... so long as MM can keep up production. Any other leads would be appreciated.

You can usually do this better with dig, but if you dont have dig, or the TLD only have an online service to check with, this will be usefull..
this is helpful because dmesg is where i/o errors, etc are logged to... you will also be able to see when the system reboots or someone attaches a thumb drive, etc.

Convert string to array using echo and sed =)
Simple function to permanently add an alias to your profile.
Tested on bash and Ksh, bash version above.
Here is the ksh version: PERMA () { print "$@" >> ~/.profile; }
Sample usage:
PERMA alias la='ls -a'
I like the fact the Patola's version uses only ones and zeros, but I also like the sparse output of the other versions. This one combines both of those features and eliminates some unnecessary cruft.
You can vary the sparseness by changing "$(($RANDOM % 5))" to another number. The number in this term "$(($RANDOM % 4))" controls how frequently the numbers are output bold.
This command will disable the beep sound from the PC speaker.
After this, just type:
You need to install "beep" before this would make the beep sound.
Save it in your .profile if you want to use it later
WARNING: this command won't exit until it is successful. You won't be able to CONTROL+C out of it.
If the connection works you should see a "hello" on host A. If not: check your cabeling etc :-)
You're behind on your TV catch-up, but how far behind? This command tries to open mplayer against all files in the current dir. If it's a video file it will contain ID_LENGTH, which is summed and output in hours, minutes and seconds.
Someone better at awk could probably reduce this down a lot.
I never can remember the syntax of awk. You can give a different -d option to cut to separate by e.g. commas. Also this allows to do more things with the generated SQL, e.g. to redirect it into different files.
Grab the RSS link to the Picasa album. Feed it to the script when its hungry. When its done writing the shopping list, just use
wget -c -i wgetlist
to get your stuff.
if "mail -a" fail, try "mutt -a" or "nail -a"
Very useful in shell scripts because you can run a task nicely in the background using job-control and output progress until it completes.
Here's an example of how I use it in backup scripts to run gpg in the background to encrypt an archive file (which I create in this same way). $! is the process ID of the last run command, which is saved here as the variable PI, then sleeper is called with the process id of the gpg task (PI), and sleeper is also specified to output : instead of the default . every 3 seconds instead of the default 1. So a shorter version would be sleeper $!;
The wait is also used here, though it may not be needed on your system.
echo ">>> ENCRYPTING SQL BACKUP"
gpg --output archive.tgz.asc --encrypt archive.tgz 1>/dev/null &
PI=$!; sleeper $PI ":" 3; wait $PI && rm archive.tgz &>/dev/null
Previously to get around the $! not always being available, I would instead check for the existance of the process ID by checking if the directory /proc/$PID existed, but not everyone uses proc anymore. That version is currently the one at http://www.askapache.com/linux-unix/bash_profile-functions-advanced-shell.html but I plan on upgrading to this new version soon.
This will log your internet download speed.
You can run
gnuplot -persist <(echo "plot 'bps' with lines")
to get a graph of it.
I often need to know of my directory in the PATH, which one DOES NOT exist. This command answers that question
* This command uses only bash's built-in commands
* The parentheses spawn a new sub shell to prevent the modification of the IFS (input field separator) variable in the current shell
I usually have 5 or more ssh connections to various servers, and putting this command in my .bash_profile file makes my putty window or x terminal window title change to this easily recognizable and descriptive text. Includes the username, group, server hostname, where I am connecting from (for SSH tunneling), which device pts, current server load, and how many processes are running.
You can also use this for your PROMPT_COMMAND variable, which updates the window title to the current values each time you exec a command.
I prefix running this in my .bash_profile with
[[ ! -z "$SSH_TTY" ]] &&
which makes sure it only does this when connecting via SSH with a TTY.
Here's some rougher examples from http://www.askapache.com/linux-unix/bash_profile-functions-advanced-shell.html
# If set, the value is executed as a command prior to issuing each primary prompt.
#H=$((hostname || uname -n) 2>/dev/null | sed 1q);W=$(whoami)
#export PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;${W}@${H}:${PWD/#$HOME/~} ${SSH_TTY/\/dev\//} [`uptime|sed -e "s/.*: \([^,]*\).*/\1/" -e "s/ //g"`]\007"'
#PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;`id -un`:`id -gn`@`hostname||uname -n 2>/dev/null|sed 1q` `command who -m|sed -e "s%^.* \(pts/[0-9]*\).*(\(.*\))%[\1] (\2)%g"` [`uptime|sed -e "s/.*: \([^,]*\).*/\1/" -e "s/ //g"` / `command ps aux|wc -l`]\007"'
#[[ -z "$SSH_TTY" ]] || export PROMPT_COMMAND
#[[ -z "$SSH_TTY" ]] && [[ -f /dev/stdout ]] && SSH_TTY=/dev/stdout
And here's a simple function example for setting the title:
function set_window_title(){ echo -e "\033]0; ${1:-$USER@$HOST - $SHLVL} \007"; }
Finds executable and existing directories in your path that can be useful if migrating a profile script to another system. This is faster and smaller than any other method due to using only bash builtin commands.

text: Trying to diagnose low coolant alarm every 2 weeks. This morning red coolant finally showed up on the garage floor. Two quarter size drops in the area under the power steering pump. I can see droplets forming under the round steel bar under the engine crank pulley (not sure if sway bar or steering?). Not sure if it is the water pump. I shined a light from under the front bumper towards the water pump area and could not find any wet spot. I will investigate further this weekend and keep you all posted. Any other cooling component that is prone to leak in the same vicinity? Thanks.

Machine Donation Helps Students
Methods Machine Tools has donated the use of a new vertical machining center and a turning center to Ivy Tech Community College's Orthopedic and Advanced Manufacturing Training Center (OAMTC) in Warsaw, Ind. as part of the Advanced Manufacturing and Orthopedic Quality Standards and Technical Skills certificate program curriculum.
Methods Machine Tools has provided new machines to Ivy Tech Community College's Orthopedic and Advanced Manufacturing Training Center (OAMTC) in Warsaw, Ind. The company is donating the use of a Feeler VMP-580 CNC vertical machining center and a Feeler HT30-Y turning center during the 2012-2013 academic year, to be part of the curriculum of the Advanced Manufacturing program and the Orthopedic Quality Standards and Technical Skills certificate program. Methods intends to replace the machines with the latest models in subsequent academic years.
According to Ivy Tech North Central Chancellor Thomas Coley, "This generous donation from Methods ensures that Ivy Tech students will always be training on the most up-to-date, state-of-the-art equipment available. Coursework and training at the OAMTC already meets rigorous standards, and students will now have the added value of experience on always-current machines. Employers who hire our graduates will also see the benefit of new employees who have a wider range of machine-related experience."
"One of the key issues facing our industry is the shortage of skilled, qualified machinists," Dale Hedberg, Feeler product manager at Methods, explained. "Through the years, we have partnered with different technical schools, colleges, and universities across the country to help train the workforce. The students get a great education on high-tech equipment, the industry gets trained people, and students leaving here know our equipment."
The Feeler HT30-Y turning center features linear guideways on the X and Z-axis, 30° slant bed construction and a Fanuc 18i-TD control. It offers a 3,500-rpm, 30-hp spindle with a hydraulic chuck diameter of 10" (254 mm) and a bar capacity of 3" (78 mm). X-axis travel is 7" + 3.2" (178 mm + 82 mm), Y-axis travel is 3.9" and +/- 2" (100 mm +/- 50 mm), and Z-axis travel is 31.3" (795 mm). It also includes a 12-station turret and offers a maximum turning diameter of 14" (356 mm) and a maximum turning length of 27.75" (705 mm).
The Feeler VMP-580 machine features a 10,000-rpm spindle with 15 hp, linear guideways on X- and Y-axes and boxways on the Z-axis. X-axis travels range from 23" to 43" (580 to 1,100 mm), Y-axis travels range from 16.5" to 24" (420 to 610 mm) and Z-axis travels are from 20" to 23.6" (510 to 600 mm). The VMP-580 also provides a 24-tool automatic tool changer and a standard Fanuc 0i-MD control.

Is it only natural selection that guides the shapes seen in nature?
Robert L. Dorit
The most accessible example of how to examine the shapes of the possible comes from work on shell forms carried out in the 1960s by American paleontologist David Raup and his collaborators (see the first figure). Shell shapes are beautiful; they are also geometrically well behaved and can be described relatively easily in mathematical terms. The mathematical model of shell shape, at its most basic, includes the rate at which a shell grows around its central axis, the rate at which it descends down that same axis and the rate at which the shell opening expands as its architect grows. With these three parameters we can depict a three-dimensional shape space: Any point in that space defines a single shell shape that may or may not occur in the living world. Real shell-bearing organisms are varied, abundant both in the current biosphere and in the fossil record, and their shapes can be plotted onto the shape space we have defined. When we do so, the pattern is striking. Certain regions of the cube, shown in color, are densely occupied, but most of the cube is uninhabited.
The challenge of understanding the distribution of biological objects in shape space thus consists of two separate, but interrelated, problems. The first of these problems involves the definition of the space of possibilities. For snail shells, we are fortunate, because the shape is mathematically tractable (a logarithmic spiral is a reasonable first approximation). The shape also involves a limited number of variables (in this case, three, which allows us to depict the space as a three-dimensional cube). For other biological shapes at other scales, defining the shape space may be considerably more challenging. How, for instance, do we define the space of all possible protein or RNA shapes? What mathematical expression will capture all of the possible architectures of tree shape? Not only are these spaces likely to be of a higher dimensionality, making them harder to depict, but the underlying mathematical function that can generate the shapes is likely to be far more complex.
The second problem with understanding shape distributions involves mapping the real objects of the world onto the shape space that we have constructed—and then accounting for the distribution of these realized forms. And it is here that we find an astonishingly consistent result. In every case studied, the distribution of realized shapes is nonisotropic: Some parts of the cube are densely populated with realized shapes, whereas others are virtually, if not entirely, empty. Such patterns in biology demand an explanation. What is this strange occupancy of shape space at all scales telling us about the forces that give form to the living world?

It means that all the training, all the miles, all the wakeups, all the cold, all the wet, all the sleep-deprived days and all the shit you've done to yourself over the last 6 plus months is finally about to pay off. It means you've put yourself where you wanted to be. You've given yourself an opportunity that very few will ever have. You've given yourself a chance. Now finish it.

text: The fifth annual conference pairs with the NMPF/UDIA/DMI conference for the first time. It will touch on the full spectrum of BVDV diseases. The bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) can really hurt a herd. By suppressing the cow's immune system, BVDV can cause a number of diseases. Making things worse, if BVDV infects a cow at 50 to 100 days into gestation, abortion is likely to occur, making this disease far more costly and at the same time harder to detect than most diseases and disorders. Because of this, we encourage you to look at the program for the fifth annual U.S. BVDV symposium. It is taking place November 17 and 18, immediately following the joint annual meeting of National Milk Producers Federation, the National Dairy Promotion & Research Board, & the United Dairy Industry Association in San Diego, at the same location as the aforementioned meeting. Because of this first-time pairing, the BVDV conference has a special Thursday morning session for those producers who may want to stick around to learn more. The rest of the meeting (Thursday afternoon and all day Friday) is not geared towards producers, but instead looks at the science behind BVDV. You can learn more about the BVDV conference by clicking here. Dairy producers need only pay $50 to attend, while all others are $275.

One of my KTBH's is proving to be a challenge to me.
First, their install, they decided they liked their gable roof better than the hive. So their first night in their new 'home' and I had to relocate the entire bunch BACK into their hive! yeesh.
Second week in, we had major flooding lasting a week.
Fourth week in, and they're building nicely - 9 combs built straight, built well, capped brood, capped honey, pollen coming in, etc. This is an observation hive, so there are windows on each side - but due to space, I really only peek in on one side of the hive. I've let them be since the flooding (other things going on), but did a full inspection today to make sure brood was capped, stores of honey in, etc., etc. There was a good colony of bees forming.
I found a pair of bars containing 3 combs! EEP! In moving things around, I've knocked it so it's now resting on the floor and being held in place with it's neighbors on the bars (right comb). I'll go in tomorrow (rain coming now) to repair the damage I caused.
I'm going to take a hair-clip (off to Walgreens!) and clip the comb into it, attach the clip to the bar with some zip-ties. Replace it in the same place it was in the hive (in terms of numbers of combs).
And try to not get stung too many times.
Is this a good fix? What should I do if I damage the comb a lot (i.e. finger-holes and/or smashed sections due to handling)? At what point is a comb no longer useful to the bees? How do you handle new comb without damaging it completely?! It's so soft and maleable at this point. The comb in question was #5 of 9.
Any advice or tips is greatly appreciated.

I like the stock that I have, so I have decided to let the splits raise their own queens. I checked on the splits three days later and one had several queen cells developing and the other did not. After three days, the eggs are past the point of creating a new queen at this point. So my questions are:
1. Why did they choose not to create a queen? There were plenty of fresh eggs.
2. What to do now? I can take a few more frames from the other hives that I split from or I can do a paper combine and make them one again.
Keep in mind that the popoluation of all four hives are great at this point. They are bringing in pollen and I am feeding.
Thanks in advance!

Excerpt: "If you were looking for Chip Kelly to declare who his starting quarterback was on his first full day on the job, then Thursday's press conference probably wasn't for you.
But there were words to be parsed and phrasings to be speculated upon, and the general sense from this vantage point was that Kelly's starting quarterback for 2013 isn't likely on the current roster.
"There is nothing that's on the board right now, there's nothing that's off the board now," Kelly said. "Our sole focus and goal is that we're going to put an offense on the field that's going to score points. . . . Whoever that is, I don't know."
Kelly, officially introduced as the Eagles' 21st head coach on Thursday, had nice things to say about Michael Vick and Nick Foles. He didn't crown the veteran or the rookie as the franchise quarterback either.
Neither Vick nor Foles is of that caliber, of course. The case once could be made that Vick was or potentially could be a franchise quarterback. He is slated to be paid like one. But the Eagles will certainly not pay Vick at his $15.5 million price tag next season." Read more...

[quote user="n420p69"]haha AG you hate the Mets? Or just their fans?[/quote]
No I don't really hate them, just certain things about the organization and players really irks me.
And all the fans talk about is the Yanks not being in the postseason when they need to just
focus on their own team.
Last night they interviewed Mets fans and almost all of them kept bringing up the Yanks..
Do you hear Yanks fans talking about the Mets when asked about the Yankees? nope....


text: I've had this costume completed since June 2012. I'm very proud to have it in my collection and portfolio, especially because it's the very first completed and club approved costume of its kind. I designed it and built pretty much everything from scratch (Beautiful helmet by Big_Water99). It's a mix of artwork from the comics with some influence from the figure thrown in. Sorry for the huge picture. I wasn't able to resize it for some reason.

Playboy.com's Picks 2012: Scandals
Playboy.com counts down the year's best and this week's it gets juicy with the best celebrity, sport and political scandals to grace the year 2012.
Every year about this time, lists recapping the year's best whatever start to surface, and we're telling you right now they're all bogus, save ours.
Over the next few weeks, Playboy.com's Picks 2012 will provide you with the year in review, from movies to music to viral trends, political and celebrity scandals and even ideas. We're showcasing the year's best across the board and on tap this week: Celebrity, sports and political scandals.
The David Petraeus Affair
High-powered political figures having extramarital affairs is nothing new. In fact, it's old. As old as time. We can go back to the salad days of the Holy Roman Empire and trot out a whole slew of serial philanderers who were a lot less discriminating and discreet about their sexual flings, pretty much propositioning anything within arm's reach with two legs (or four) and a pulse. What makes the Petraeus affair particularly intriguing is the elaborate web by which it was revealed, the people it entangled, the timing when it came about and, of course, the alarming lack of discretion on the part of the DIRECTOR OF THE CIA (!), the one man in America you'd figure could cover up something like this.
If we've got this right, some social butterfly in Miami (who had been exchanging thousands of inappropriate emails with General John Allen in what we'll assume was [probably not] an unrelated sexual aside) employed an FBI agent who had once sent her shirtless photos (putting the weird sexual asides tally at two) to investigate David Petraeus, who I guess had some busy hands under a table at a social function with said social butterfly (make that three). Shirtless FBI agent uncovers a series of less-than-well-hidden illicit emails exchanged between Petraeus and his biographer Paula Broadwell, prompting Shirtless FBI agent (hopefully now wearing a shirt) to tell House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, so House Majority Leader Eric Cantor can fly off the handle like only a Republican House Majority Leader can, but not before President Barack Obama is elected to a second term.
The result: The upper echelons of the American military establishment come crashing down, rumors from Republicans start to fly about Obama's transparency on the matter (ON EVERY MATTER!!) and Shirtless FBI agent is forced to put a shirt on to testify (something he really hates fucking doing). All over Broadwell, who, I guess, is…you know…okay for a 40-year-old married lady with two kids.
The Immaculate Reception
It took close to six weeks of absolutely awful football for the owners and the NFL to come to the conclusion that they may in fact need referees to continue playing their game in good conscience. And had it not been for the above event, it may never have happened at all.
Golden Tate's catch (or not catch or interception or whatever) sparked such a riot across social media sites, and forced close to 200 million dollars in bets to be negated, that the NFL had no choice but to, you know, pay people relatively reasonable sums of money to do their jobs. The $18 million the referees "shamelessly stole" from the poor NFL owners represents about 0.2 percent of the revenue the NFL made last year. But it made millions of fans question whether the NFL is actually concerned about their consumer base. That, compounded with the recent rash of lockouts that have spread across three of the four major sports and the ever-increasing costs associated with even attending a game, has millions more wondering whether major league sports are even worth the trouble; why should we care when it's clear the leagues' corporate owners only see us as walking, talking dollar signs?
Every Sentence Ever Uttered by a Republican in 2012
Honestly, pick one: "Binders Full of Women," "Big Bird," "Empty Chairs," "47 percent." Between all the talk about building 100-foot walls around the state of Arizona and the Pro-Death cheering that erupted from the far-right when Ron Paul was asked whether he'd let a fatally wounded but hopelessly uninsured man die in a hospital, it was hard to decipher whether the Republican party has said anything intelligible at all over the course of the last calendar year.
The fact of the matter is, the American Right has gone around the bend and the American electorate punished them for doing so. As far as scandals go, this one doesn't necessarily fit the bill, but its effects are far-reaching and long-term for America at large, who thankfully don't have to return to the polls for another four years; if they had to any sooner they'd find themselves living in a one-party oligarchy, the other "party" being so far-flung and unhinged that it would be hard to justify voting for a bunch of mutant lawmakers to live in the White House.
Listen, guys: no one wins seven consecutive Tour de Frances without cheating. The very concept of the Tour de France doesn't allow for dynasties. It's like a hundred thousand stages long and you pretty much have to clean up at every one to win it. One person might do that once in his life, but to do it seven times in a row is ridiculous. It's the stuff of fairy tales or poor plot-driven sports films from the '70s. It's just something that doesn't happen.
Lance Armstrong deserves every bit of what he got (the jerk abandoned his wife after she supported him through years of chemotherapy), but the fallout surrounding this scandal is troubling for two reasons. One, it raises questions about the entire sport of cycling; if Armstrong was cheating, what about the 20 or so other guys who finished the Tour de France not so far behind him? Were they all cheating? Why should we be bothered to respect a sport like that?
The second is more worrisome: what becomes of Livestrong, an organization that does exceptional work and through no fault of its own is forever sullied by association.

Video: Jay Carney won't name the capital of Israel
posted at 4:02 pm on July 27, 2012 by Mary Katharine Ham
The White House press secretary got his shoelaces pretty well tangled when asked to name the capital of Israel yesterday:
It's a fine diplomatic line for the U.S. government, which has long held the official position that Jerusalem's disposition will be part of final-status negotiations while politicians and presidents have often given more rhetorical support for Jerusalem as capital than the official line. Israel's governing body, the Knesset, is in Jerusalem but the U.S. Embassy remains in Tel Aviv despite a 1995 law passed by Congress requiring it to be moved to the holy city by 1999. Clinton, Bush, and Obama alike have failed to act on the law, and the U.S. maintains a Consulate General in Jerusalem.
Carney's being asked about it because the State Department, in March, was caught by the Free Beacon listing Israel and Jerusalem as different entities entirely. State later scrubbed the impolitic communique, but not before it led to an equally uncomfortable exchange over Israel's capital with State Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland:
Last year, Daniel Halper reported the White House was changing "Jerusalem, Israel" to just "Jerusalem" in its photo captions.
The fight over Jerusalem is nothing new, but this administration's obvious bumbling on the issue plays into a perception of Obama as unfriendly to Israel, which is one perception George W. Bush didn't have to worry about.
And, it can't help with this.

Benefits Of Using Noise Cancelling HeadphonesPosted by Rochelle on Saturday Aug 9, 2014 Under Headphones, Personal
Unlike your regular headphones, noise cancelling headphones enable you to listen to music without disruption. If you've listened to music in a noisy place, you know exactly what I am talking about. It's quite irritating because you can't enjoy music peacefully.
Your regular headphones don't block the noise. In other words, you'll be listening to both music and noise, which isn't very healthy to your ears. In as much as there's nothing you can do to stop the noise itself, there's a way you could cancel it out. Technology has made it possible so that you can get rid of any unwanted background noise the easy way. They may cost you more than your usual headphones, but they are worth your money, considering the benefits you'll enjoy from noise cancelling technology.
These headphones are battery powered, and they effectively cancel out any noise surrounding the user. In fact, they can even cancel out noise better than sound-isolating headphones. In most cases, these special types of headphones are used during flights to protect you from engine noise. But they are also used during train rides.
Other than being used during travel, they can also be used in a noisy office environment. Outdated air-conditioning systems are known to make unpleasant noises, and this can be combated using these special headphones.
These headphones come in two different categories. Active noise cancellation gets rid of noise through an in-built technology of the headphone itself. On the other hand, passive noise cancelling works by preventing noise from entering an individual's ears. They use small microphones that work by recording and reversing the frequencies of the noise surrounding the user. This technique blocks off unwanted noise that usually goes into the ear.
You can read the reviews of some of the best noise cancelling headphones on HeadYo which is a brand that provides genuine reviews about headphones.
That said, what are some of the features to look for when purchasing these headphones?
Obviously, you are buying it so that you can enjoy your music comfortably without any destructive noises. If you are determined to look for a true noise cancelling headphones, then consider its stated noise reduction capability before purchase. Some models are better than others. So it would be appropriate that you consider these factors, plus what consumers are saying about a particular model.
Your new headphones should be comfortable to wear. Before you can purchase them, ensure that you are comfortable when you wear then for longer periods of time.
Other than comfort, you must know how well it can produce quality. Yes, it might be blocking unwanted noise, but how is the sound quality of the headphone?
Most of these headphones come with an in-built battery compartment in their cables. That means such headphones can become quite bulky. If you want convenience, choose headphones that have their batteries incorporated into their unit. Then finally, pick a headphone that makes sense to you in terms of pricing. They may be the best headphones around because they allow you to listen to music comfortably, but it's not right breaking the bank just for any headphone irrespective of its price.
There are moments when you only want to listen to the sound of music or whatever you are listening to, nothing else. That's when you realize that noise cancelling headphones come handy.

• Singer/songwriter GRAEME KENNEDY is back in town, and he's got ambitious plans for his MCKEENSTREET MUSIC, a full-service label that handles everything from recording to booking for its bands. First up for 2010 is the debut full-length from BRENDA, which is as yet untitled, but should hit the streets in May. Following that will be monthly releases from the likes of DETHRO, "a mental patient currently living in Los Angeles," Maine's the LAST SIP and HORSE THIEF, and then a release from Kennedy himself, in September.
• The release show March 20 for MARION GRACE's debut Lying Down Looking Up is shaping up to be a humdinger. The PORT CITY MUSIC HALL stage will be filled to the brim with Marion Grace playing their disc in full, backed by ADAM FREDERICK conducting a 15-member USM CHOIR, along with an orchestra of sorts comprising more than 25 local musicians from the likes of ROYAL HAMMER, THIS WAY, SPENCER AND THE SCHOOL SPIRIT MAFIA, GYPSY TAILWIND, GRUPO ESPERANZA, FREDERICK, TREEYO, and A MURDER OF CROWS. Plus, MADGIRL, the gal who runs Mad Girl World, will be debuting her new men's fashion line with a runway show that precedes the music, before opening sets from SLY-CHI and the ADAM EZRA GROUP. The "Sibilance" staff is impressed. You only get one debut-CD release show. Might as well kick out the jams.
• The KOLOSKO-DIMOW DUO will release their new CD, border crossings, with a show at Trinity Episcopal Church, in Portland, March 27. The collaboration between classical guitarist NATHAN KOLOSKO and flautist CARL DIMOW is a mesh of classical, world, and jazz influences and consists of folkloric music from the Pacific coast of Mexico, a Klezmer suite evolved from Dimow's many years of performing and touring with the CASCO BAY TUMMLERS klezmer band, and Afro sambas by guitarist BADEN POWELL, whom the duo featured on their first CD, nos•tal•gia.

Pepe, thank you very much for your hospitality and your kindness.
I really enjoyed to stay at Pepe's flat. Everything has been exactly as shown and it was so plaisant to be close to the Center of London.
I shall keep your address and come back... if I have the opportunity.
we would next time spend a bit more money for a decent hotel. the accommodation was definitely not worth money. cleanliness and comfort can unfortunately also be desired. we are angry really. what a shame...
A perfect place to visit London. The apartment is clean and well placed great, Pepe is nice and did everything possible to make our stay is going well.
We'll definitely stay here.
Un endroit parfait pour visiter Londres. L'appartement est propre et super bien placé, Pepe est gentil et a fait tout son possible pour que notre séjour se déroule bien.
Nous reviendrons sans hésiter ici.
It's been a lovely time in London, good accommodation, right in the center of the town and nice weather. The only problem was finding the accommodation. We spent quite a while looking for the house. But it might be just our own problem not being able to read maps...
The flat was very pleasant and calm. We could even use the kitchen and cook our own meal. Somehow the bathroom was never very busy. It wasn't that everyone wanted to use it at the same time. Therefore it was as if we had our own bathroom in a hotel.
Enchanted by the warm welcome from Pepe apartment in which one feels good, Pepe fully to our listening.
The location is sensational, not luxurious accommodation but very sunny room with a good bed
Thank you again to Pepe for his kindness.
Enchanté par l'accueil chaleureux de Pépé, appartement dans lequel on se sent bien, Pépé entierement à notre ecoute.
