The latest game to have its basic formula simplified and cloned is the massively popular tower defense game, Plants vs. Zombies. What you are looking at is Humans Vs Aliens, and yes, even the title font is uh… paying homage to Plants vs. Zombies.
The game moves a lot slower than PvZ, and it's much more on the difficult side. Just like PvZ, you get lots of new units very quickly, but the game still gets stale and boring. The battle takes place on a grid, with enemies pouring out of the right side, though it's more like drizzling really, and always moving left.
You have emergency lasers as back up, and you need to collect energy to uh, "plant" your various soldiers. You gather energy through oil rigs… that you place in the middle of a street? What? Anyway, there never seems to be enough energy to build a proper defense in this game. It just isn't very well balanced and it gets repetitive. It also crashes on me constantly, forcing me to repeat said repetitive levels.
There is an Unlimited Mode which is an endless wave survival mode, but it crashes every single time I play it before I can make any real progress, which is disappointing.
This game may just be a re-skin of the PC classic, but it's not all that bad really. Though this game is a poor substitute for the original, it gets the basic job done, and it's cheap. Give it a download if you want. Honestly though, Plants vs. Zombies is going to be on the Android in just a couple months, so I would just wait for that.

For this week's Cellars By Starlight column, the Phoenix had a radically inspired conversation
with Taraka Larson of PRINCE RAMA. We learned about the deep-psych duo's
roots in Boston's
underground experimental scene circa 2007-2008, particularly in the community
surrounding JP art/music collective house venue The Whitehaus.
>> READ: "Prince
Rama rise from Boston's underground" by Liz Pelly
Endlessly intrigued, we wanted to track down someone who was at their first
performance ever, so we called up former Whitehaus resident, musician, and poet
S. Ellis. (Pictured below; he recently moved to Portland, Oregon.)
Ellis told us about Rama's first show, at a Whitehaus hoot in the fall of 2007;
he also recalled the vibes of JP's underground house show scene around 2k8, a
time that Taraka called "a golden age." Here's the story:
"It was in the fall of 2007… It was just after the first anniversary of
the hootenannies. Towards the end of that summer, hoot attendance was going
down, and me and the guys we didn't know why… Then when college started again a
ton more people started showing up to the hootenannies again. Me and Adam and Morgan,
we forget about college…
Taraka asked to play, and she seemed like the kookiest substitute teacher you'd
ever met … with her hair and everything… She played harpsichord and Michael
played just a kinda crappy, small Casio. They played, they harmonized and it
was interesting…
At the time, Shane Don was on the West
Coast. He was actually in Portland
when they came. And I was sure that the two of them had sprung out of his
music. Shane had been making electronic music in the winter and then folk music
in the spring … And it seemed like their music was a merging of everything he
liked. It was pretty magical.
I remember we started the hoot at a regular time and then there was a dip in
the number of people, and then we got this blast. I later realized that all of
these people were SMFA students. It must have been the first time that Shane
Butler ever came over too, and all of those guys. I hadn't met Greg Besun
yet, but I'd meet him soon. Because the winter going from 2007 to 2008 was
the winter of Winter Camp. Winter Camp was when Greg Besun started having house
shows in his place in Inman Square
in the winter of 07-08. That was just after Prince Rama played at the Haus for
the first time.
Things were happening pretty fast by 2008. Then when Shane got back from the
West coast, he started hanging out with Prince Rama all the time. That's when Truman
Peyote started coming around too. We just made our first CD-R sampler that
year too.
There were a lot of house shows going on around Boston at the time … a lot of them had to do
with "The Folk Revival." What made the ones at Whitehaus different was, a lot
of folk musicians played, and also a lot of boys from Mass Art who were
sophomores and they thought they were too cool for life, and they would come
over with their little circuit bent toys and make this noise. But everybody was
like One or The Other. The kinds of music that was popular at Whitehaus those
couple of years was, you either played folk music or you made harsh electronic
noise. And Prince Rama just played both. Taraka played the harpsichord for a
while and then eventually picked up the guitar. And Michael's voice is so deep
that you don't even realize that that sound is coming from a person, it sounds
like a drum machine droning. I don't think they even thought about it or did it
on purpose. But it was sort of like the perfect melding of what was popular

Mariah Carey Demands The Red Carpet
She's arriving at a fucking hotel. I think the emancipation of Mimi, don't liberate her from being a demanding bitch.
There's nothing more amusing than a B-list star acting like a Queen and issuing ridiculous demands. This is the position that Mariah Carey has put herself in after news of her recent trip to London.
The singer was due to stay at the Baglioni hotel in Kensington, where her entourage had booked 15 rooms… However, the hotel had foolishly forgotten to roll out the red carpet flanked by the correct large white candles – at 2.15 in the morning. This oversight was so appalling to poor Mariah, that she had to suffer the indignity of driving around the block in a cavalcade of limos until everything was in order.
Her aides had rocked up at 2am to check everything was set for her arrival, when they were met with ordinary pavement and lighting. Clearly this wouldn't do, so hotel staff were summoned to rectify the situation – as Ms Carey will not step on a dirty pavement.
But once the plush red rug was rolled out and the big fat candles were lit, Mariah finally turned up to take residence in one of the 15 rooms she'd booked.

What Can I Do About the Depth of the Stretch Marks on my Breasts?

Stretch mark treatment with Palomar Lux 1540 laser
I have found the Palomar Lux 1540 erbium laser effective to treat stretch marks on the breast, abdomen and other areas. We usually give 4-6 treatments at 3-4 week intervals. There is temporary redness and swelling. The improvement is gradually seen over the course of 1-4 months.
This laser does not create any visible wound and can be used for any skin type. Hundreds of tiny laser beams interact with the skin, causing a micro-injury which quickly heals. Gradually the skin remodels and appearance improves.
This laser is also used to treat facial wrinkles, acne scars, and to improve the appearance of scars of any age.
Stretch marks on breasts.
Unfortunately, there are no solutions in the upper pole of the breast for stretch marks. These are essentially scars in the deeper layers of the dermis and excision is the only true method of removal. A supportive bra will take the stretch marks off stretch and make them a bit less obvious.

Breast stretch marks
There are really no non-surgical treatments for stretch marks and the only surgical ones are excision like in a tummy tuck which doesn't apply here. You can use an implant or a lift to tighten the skin a bit but the marks will always be there.
Stretch marks on the breast
Stretch marks are actual tears on the deeper layer of the skin, the dermis, caused by rapid growth and tension in the skin. They pale out over time, and the breast can look better if volume is used though an implant or a breast like to efface them somewhat. Nonsurgical treatments carry many promises with few results.
Best of luck,

There are a number of good women in society who would make any man a loving wife, a devoted long-term girlfriend, or an easy-to-get-along-with casual sex partner.
Then there are other women in society who are only looking to take advantage of naïve and sexually desperate men for their own egotistical and self-serving objectives.
In his second audiobook release, The Possibility of Sex: How Naïve and Lustful Men are Manipulated by Women Regularly, book author Alan Roger Currie once again highlights the fact that when a man expresses his romantic or sexual desires, interests and intentions to women in a very cautious, vague, ambiguous, or "beat-around-the-bush" manner, he potentially opens himself up to be misled and taken advantage of by women who are shrewd, savvy, highly experienced manipulators of men.
In Part One of the audiobook, Currie discusses women he refers to as Timewasters, which are women who are willing to initially, temporarily, or even indefinitely give targeted men the misleading impression that they have some degree of genuine interest in sharing that man's company in a romantic or purely sexual manner, but in reality, these women seek nothing other than to be flattered, entertained, or spoiled with financial (and non-financial) 'favors' and materialistic gifts.
In Part Two of the audiobook, Currie describes in detail at least five types of 'No Good Women' that he feels all men should totally avoid entering into any type of long-term romantic or sexual relationship with: Gold Diggers, Man Thieves, Drama Queens, Misandrists, Liars and Cheaters
Currie's first audiobook release was Mode One: Let the Women Know What You're REALLY Thinking.
(Warning: Some chapters in this audiobook include explicit language)

"Vitamins and Water"
It genuinely feels refreshing to listen to something so raw and forthright. Mr Curries speaks the unterthered truth, and one can really extract a lot life nurients from this Audio book. I highly recommend this Audio Book to anyone. What a grest listen!
"Just wow"
I wish Alan Roger Currie was one of my university lecturers, his explanatory style is extremely straightforward.
I much appreciate his fixing of my fixing my "reality alarm clock". I have now woken the f*** up and lots of encounters in the past now make more sense to me.
"Every men should listen to this audio book or read"
Women have been manipulating men from the beginning of time. But the question that remains unanswered for many is why do women manipulate men? Why is manipulation such a handy tool for women to use when it comes to dealing with their male counterpart?
The goal of this book is to get every reader to look at manipulation holistically, and then make a decision as to how they feel about it. It is not a do it yourself book on manipulation nor is it a lambasting of women for using their manipulation skills. It is a journey of introspection. Whether you are male or female, manipulator or manipulated, I know that you have given this subject some thought. Your perceptions may change as you read it. Throughout the book we look at how manipulation is achieved and why it was needed by women in the past. We look at whether it has a place in modern society, and what men's role has been in its use.
It is partly a historical walk with women, partly looking into their psyche's to see where manipulation is embedded in them. As a woman, it will give you a good view into why women use manipulation; why it has been used down the centuries and where it is still used today. As a man, it will give you insight into this powerful tool that you feel is used against you. Perhaps, after reading this book, your perceptions will have changed and you will have a kinder view towards why women use manipulation.
"You must listen to this"
I've known about Alan Roger Currie for some time and have owned the eBook version of his first work, 'Mode One' for years. However, listening to the audio version of that book and this one are essential to understanding his seduction philosophy. I also highly recommend the third book in this trilogy, which will complete your understanding of what Mode One really means, with practical examples. Having read these books, many guys seem to find themselves either in denial or having something similar to a Matrix-like awakening. If you find yourself in the former camp, I recommend testing ARC's philosophy out by acting as if what he says is true for a few weeks and seeing if your success with women improves. Best wishes wishes.
"top book"
Very good book from one of only 2 recognised direct approach guys there are. I've met Alan in London 5 years ago and we talked over chicken wings in his flat in Notting Hill.
"Take Your Medicine - A Tough Pill to Swallow"
This was the hardest book in the series for me to get through, namely because it was the painful truth that I needed, but did not want to hear. I persevered only because it's an important part of seduction education. Men are duped and seduced by a number of tricksters, but most often fellas are playing themselves. Go through this book like it's a dating health & safety course. Always wear your psychological protection and stear clear from the trap of the Possibility of Sex.
"Alan should have a PhD in The Psychology of Women!"
In Alan's first audiobook, he highlighted the weaknesses of men's behavior toward women, and he explained just how dishonest and manipulative men can be toward women. In his second audiobook, he turns the tables and describes in detail how dishonest, misleading and manipulative women can be toward men. Being a woman myself, I know firsthand that there are really good women looking for a good man, and there are really scandalous women out here looking to take advantage of naive, unsuspecting men.
Alan points out that in the same way many men will 'pretend' to want nothing more than platonic friendship from a woman, when in reality they want to have sex with that woman, many women do just the opposite. They will pretend like have an interest in having sex with a man (either in the context of relationship or casually), but in reality, they just want to collect a high number of male platonic friends. I believe if a woman only wants to be 'just friends' with a man, she should let a man know that from the very beginning.
Just like Alan's first audiobook, Mode One, my only minor criticism would be that he uses quite a bit of X-rated language and profanity (but I am used to it now!). My compliment for Alan is that he never minces words or holds back on telling the truth about both men's behavior and women's behavior as it relates to dating and relationships. He is a bold truth-teller. I do not think men or women under the age of 17 should be listening to Alan's audiobooks though.
Like Alan's first audiobook, most of the content is definitely geared toward educating men, but that said, it was also an enlightening and entertaining listen for me as a woman as well. If nothing else, it made me think more objectively about just how manipulative women can be with men. Most women I know have the tendency to only concentrate on the undesirable behavior of men, but the reality is, members of both sexes have strengths and weaknesses in their character and behavior.
Not only would I agree that the average man would be turned off by a woman who is a 'Timewaster,' a Gold Digger, a Man Thief, a Drama Queen, a Misandrist, or a Liar / Cheater, but I believe most good women also hate other women who fall into these categories as well!! (bad women make it more
"Don't let manipulative women waste your time!"
Looking back to my late teens, I can pretty much say that my first romantically frustrating experience in life was exactly with a type of girl who was a Timewaster. I allowed both my time and money be wasted while going out with her only to find out later that she didn't even want to kiss me or have sex with me when I tried escalating and, on top of that, with her words she was very vague and ambiguous, only offering me "the possibility of sex". Back then I felt it was enough, and during my next call to her I just asked one question "When are we having sex?". She kept playing head-games. I hung up on her and never pursued her company again in a romantic or sexual manner. It must have been my intuition that made me identify her as a "big time game player".
Many years later I learned about Alan Roger Currie's books. I decided to read all of them. And while reading to Alan's original Kindle e-book "The possibility of sex", I clearly remembered the time when I was hanging out with that girl: I was "hoping to get laid", I was "courting" her because I thought (and I had been told many times) that girls need to be courted, and that every man is supposed to know how to court women in a right way. A question that comes up is this "What is left to us, men? What are we left with? With the hope that our courting will lead to a desirable result someday? With the possibility of sex?"
Questions like this really show that, instead of knowing the outdated (and often ineffective) 'courting skills', we should…we HAVE TO know how to weed out women who are there to waste our valuable time and our money. We should also be able to see through any manipulative head games women often play, whether it's to test a guy or to pull his strings. And by weeding out such women (and let them deal with other men who are willing to accept this kind of behavior) we, actually, make room in our lives for sincere, genuine and loving female romantic and sexual companions…for a short encounter or for a happy long term relationship. And this is what Alan's book is about! It is to give us, men, the ammunition to be these secure and strong men.
Even though I read the e-book Kindle version of "The possibility of sex", I've enjoyed the audiobook 'delivery' more. Not only because I'm an auditory person, but also because I can feel the author's passion and commitment to do his best to inspire us, men, to learn the difference between sincere and manipulative women. I once had an hour long video consultation with Alan and, more than half of the time we spent talking, he helped me identify Timewasters among women I was interested in. After the consultation I thought "I wish every man could have this kind of knowledge on his hands". And here it is: 6+ hours of the author giving you a "personal consultation" and giving you the knowledge you will HARDLY ever get anywhere else (sincere women are usually not aware of all manipulative strategies, so they look surprised when you're discussing it with them; manipulative women will usually give you the IMPRESSION that they don't know what the heck you're talking about.."Manipulation…huh?").
Other than the 1st part of the book (the first part mostly focuses on the 4 types of Timewasters), I found particularly interesting the chapter on "Man thieves": I've always thought women competing for the opportunity to win a guy over is a good thing, but, as it turns out, getting involved with a woman who "enjoys stealing other women's men way too much" can be a really bad decision.
I would recommend this book to any man. And I've given advice to my friends on how to identify Timewasters and other No-Good women in their dating lives.
"Great book and must read for all heterosexual men."
Yes, I definitely recommend this book to all my male friends. It warns of the dangers of being sexually indirect with potential female love interests. Mr. Currie explains how women he calls timewasters, use sex as tool of coaxing indirect nice stupid men into being male platonic ego boosters and atm machines. "Mode one" sexually direct ballsy men cut off the Medusa's head of manipulation by being so direct and most times forcing even female manipulators into saying yes or no to sex or dating. Alan also breaks downs the myth of society that men are hornier than women. Complete goddamn bullshit. Women are conditioned by our christian corporate capitalist nightmare modern society to want something in return for their vaginas which are horny anyway for attractive men. Similar to how an illegal drug dealer would never give a addict free drugs regularly. Women withhold sex to make it a rare commodity. Alan gives us the red pill like Morpheus from the Cult film the Matrix and wakes us men the hell up. Great book.
Alan's real life examples of female teasers and the sexual duality of women were entertaining and educational. This book is words to the wise.
I read his first book and his magnum opus, "Mode one' but this is the first audiobook of his I have listened to. Alan has an excellent speaking voice.
Although I'm still extremely young and inexperienced, I will now always use a mode one approach with girls I am attracted to and avoid timewasters. Mode one is always great for "breaking down" pretenders (girls interested in a man sexually but pretending not to be to save face). I can't wait to listen to Alan's next book called "Say it again".
Mooooooooode OOOOONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Now I Understand Women! Thank you!!!"
The most enjoyable part of this book was the simple and clear way the author describes women's behavior. After listening to this audio book, I feel like I have 10 years of extra experience with women! I now know exactly how to deal with every situation so that I am never mislead nor am I having my time wasted by women who aren't genuinely interest in me. This book is literally a life saver in terms of my love life.
Mode One By Alan Roger Currie because it lays the foundation for the book "The Possibility of Sex"
Alan Roger Currie
Always being upfront and straightforward with women takes away all their power to manipulate me.
This is a book every man should read. It felt as though Alan was sitting in the same room as me; talking to me man to man. With the wisdom shared in this amazing audiobook, many men will avoid having their hearts broken - and this is great because there will be a lot less misogynistic men in the world. This book is truly a treasure.
"another raw and uncut classic"
excellent book that gives you the tools to chose wisely when avoiding the bad women.
"Worth the Purchase!"
I wish I had this knowledge years ago. I could've avoided a lot of time wasters.
"Much better than anticipated"
I would highly recommend this book to any men seeking to learn how women think.
"eye opening"
i find that a lot of what he talks about is very interesting and when i look back at certain experiences ive had with women fit the bill. thank you for the knowledge given!
The Ultimate Timesaver and Guide for Beta-Type Men!! This is the hardcore truth right here.
"Man, I can not even emphasize in words how TRUE and REAL this book is!"
I rate this book a 10/10. I enjoyed listening to this book because I am a big fan of Alan Roger Currie's work, and this one gave me more information, advice, and real talk about women who are wasting my time. If you are new to ARC's books, this one in particular emphasizes women who can be put in the category of timewasters. His other books emphasize pretenders, the mode one behavior, and stimulating a women's pu**y via aural sex.
There are a lot of men out there who NEED NEED NEED a man like Alan Roger Currie in their life! He is like the alpha male figure that could teach sound, honest, and bold principles to men when it comes to talking to women and social interactions with women and interpersonal skills!
All MEN who are wealthy and are tired of being used by women, paying for sex, or tired of flattering women in hopes of getting sex from them MUST read this.
All women must read this to learn to be honest!
I highly recommend you read this book and take notes. The book talks about women to avoid, how to screen out a time waster, how to deal with time wasters, and how to identify the different types of time wasters. Also, there are other general topics such as gold diggers, tricks, suckers, and other terms that are very good to read about and become a better man. You have nothing to lose, but your old self. Thank you for another wonderful book! -One of your biggest fans, Erfan Zahraei.

Enterprising expatriates: lifestyle migration and entrepreneurship in rural southern Europe
This paper focuses on the growing aspect of entrepreneurship associated with lifestyle-induced migration from wealthy countries, through investigating self-employment among expatriates from northern Europe in rural areas of southern France and Spain. Most expatriates had no prior experience of entrepreneurship and typically established their business opportunistically and some time after arrival. Based upon interviews with 41 expatriate households (operating 70 business ventures), the study explores the characteristics of the individuals involved, the nature of their businesses, factors influencing start-up, and processes and patterns of business development. Self-employment is shown to be the most effective available mechanism for supporting lifestyle objectives of expatriates who vary greatly in their skills, experience and resources. The study identifies significant differences between the respective groups from the two countries, reflecting the spatially differentiated character of migration in terms of age, education, qualifications and capital resources. These appear to have given rise to a more sophisticated profile of businesses in the French areas. Sharp differences in language skills as between the different countries are seen as influencing the ability of entrepreneurs to network with, and market to, the indigenous population, with implications for the future development of the businesses, and their local impact. The study seeks to augment standard conceptual approaches to entrepreneurship, through taking account of the primacy of the migration decision and specific related processes, and proposes a model that advances our understanding of the phenomenon.

Belated Merry Christmas!!!!! And I guess belated happy New Years as well!
So…I'm gonna do things a bit different. A little summary, if you will.
The Work Week:
N/A! WHOOO!!!!!!! Although I did do a small amount of planning, grading, and copy-making. Ugh. Moving on.
The Workout Week:
I RAN!!!!!!!! 2.5 miles on the Monday and Wednesday before Christmas…then one mile on new years!!!! GO ME!!!!!
Then there are the workout-related gifts!!
I also got some socks, and shirts from One More Mile! Super exciting stuff!!!
The Knitting Week:
MAN I've been busy. Not only did I get a ton of super-fun knitty gifties, but I also finished a project! Aunt Sarah's hat.
My pictures got a little discombobulated there…eh. Moving on.
Well…I'll go with Christmas presents. Here's a quick summary!
Hemi had a squeaky tennis ball…and he punctured it. And got stuck. 🙂 Poor guy.
The only thing more entertaining than watching Uncle Jimmy open presents, is listening to Uncle Jimmy stories. I think…this one is about using pant legs to hold funnels? You never know with him. And you can never quite follow it…
Sweet Little Shoutout:
Here's to Nemo!! You…probably will never, ever, ever see this blog. But I love you and I was very brave and held you for the first time this week!!! GO AUNTIE COURTNEY!!!!!!!!!!
And for those of you looking at me like I'm crazy, no the kid's name isn't Nemo…but that's what I've decided to call him. He is my best friend's firstborn…so…I have to learn to like babies now.
That just about does it! Hope you guys had good holidays!!!!!

Town Square
Spin This, Democrats: " $787 Billion in Stimulus, Zero Jobs 'Created or Saved' "
Original post made by Ruth, Another Pleasanton neighborhood, on Jan 18, 2010
Web Link
On February 11th, President Barack Obama stood on a windy hilltop in front of a dusty construction site in Fairfax County, Virginia, and promised the American people: "Here in Virginia, my plan will create or save almost 100,000 jobs, doing work at sites just like this one." Standing alongside current Democratic National Committee Chairman and former-Gov. Tim Kaine, the President continued: "Where we're standing, that could mean hundreds of construction jobs. And the benefits of jobs we create directly will multiply across the economy." Eleven months later, none of those promised jobs have been "created or saved." In fact, the Obama administration quietly announced last week that they were dropping the fraudulent "saved or created" terminology altogether.
The failure of Obama's $787 billion stimulus is particularly acute in Virginia where, as Heritage fellow Ron Utt has documented, despite $695 million in allocated infrastructure funding, only 16% of designated projects had begun. House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman James Oberstar (D-MN) even publicly complained about Virginia's slow transportation spending, writing to Gov. Kaine: "your state ranks last among all states [51 out of 51, including the District of Columbia], based on an analysis of the percentage of Recovery Act highway formula funds put out to bid, under contract and under way."
But even where infrastructure spending has been spent, the hard evidence shows that there has not been any positive effect on unemployment. According to an Associated Press analysis reviewed by independent economists at five universities, the $20 billion spent nationwide on infrastructure so far "has had no effect on local unemployment rates." And this was just the most recent embarrassing headline for the White House's signature economic policy. Since the first reporting deadline in October, newspapers and other media outlets across the country have identified 94,341 fake jobs reported by the Obama administration as jobs "created or saved" by the stimulus. After the Government Accountability Office issued a report finding "significant reporting and processing problems that need to be addressed," Obama administration spokesman Ed Pound offered this defense of the Obama administration's jobs numbers: "Who knows, man, who really knows."
Now Office of Management and Budget Director Peter Orszag issued a little-noticed memo last month ending the "saved or created" metric and instead directing agencies to count only jobs "funded" by stimulus dollars. But as Harvard University labor economist Lawrence Katz tells ProPublica, this is not really an improvement: "I just think it's a silly exercise." Instead Katz says a more accurate way to account for the effect of the stimulus is to look at the unemployment numbers put out by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
That is a great idea. The latest BLS report issued last Friday found that the U.S. economy dropped 85,000 jobs in December, bringing the jobs lost total to 2.7 million since the stimulus was passed and 3.4 million since Obama became President. In contrast, the President's White House Council of Economic Advisers had promised total employment of at least 138.6 million by 2010. Actual employment as of December was reported to be 130.9 million, leaving the Obama jobs deficit at 7.7 million.
The problem with infrastructure spending as stimulus, and really government spending as stimulus, is that Congress does not have a vault of money waiting to be distributed. Every dollar Congress injects into the economy must first be taxed or borrowed out of the economy. No new spending power is created. It is merely redistributed from one group of people to another. Businesses are telling pollsters that among the biggest reasons they are not creating jobs is the prospect of new tax and regulatory burdens. A better solution to reduce unemployment is to simplify and reduce the barriers to business success.

Ruth, I will give you more creditability when you stop the mindless copy & paste from the Heritage Foundation. I might as well drink Kool-Aid and listen to Limbaugh. Or,I might as well listen or read exclusively to Huffington.
Original thought is a good idea but even if you have to quote from other sources it's still a significant improvement. Live beyond the narrow.
BTW, did you hear that Limbaugh does not want you to contribute to Haiti even if President Bush is associated with the charity? Weird.

Clean the earwax out of your ears once in a while. Or, are you waiting for your government to do it for you? Limbaugh did not say do not contribute to Haiti. He encouraged people not to contribute thru the Fed's whitehouse. gov site. He encouraged people to contribute to Haiti thru more efficient and reliable organizations like the Red Cross and others. You moron.

Geez Ruth, Let's all go back to the fine leadership of the previous 8 years. I personally think both Parties are crooks - but to think this Administration was handed off (one year ago) a fine tuned economic machine is truly Kool Aid drinking material.

Don't waste your time responding to Ruth, or whatever name s/he is going by these days. Same person, same Heritage Foundation cut and paste, same bait to then insult you for disagreeing. Ruth, or whatever name s/he is going by these days, does daily hit pieces on Obama and the Democrats. Too much time on his or her hands, if you ask me.
Here is Rush's EXACT transcript, where actually does suggest that people shouldn't contribute to relief efforts in Haiti, because "Besides, we've already donated to Haiti. It's called the US income tax." Please, read the whole thing. He implies a bunch of typical Limbaugh BS with nothing to back it up. Even disproves his own theories at the end.
Ruth, or whatever name s/he is going by these days, shouldn't be so quick to call other people "moron..."

Had you and Rush looked, you would've seen that there is a Red Cross link on the WH website. You'd rather just believe the worst apparently.
I'm sure you and Rush are just groovy with the credit card companies taking 3% of all money donated. Got to capitalize on other people's tragedy whenever possible.
I'm surprised you like Rush. He's a drug addict with an affinity for little Dominican Republic boys.

OK, I read the transcript. Still looking for where Rush says don't make a donation?
I can see where he agrees with a caller to go directly to the Red Cross.
I can also see where the FIRST comment he makes about donations is the president "asks people who have lost their jobs because of his policies to donate to WhiteHouse.gov to the people of Haiti, and we will do it. We are the most charitable and the most generous people on the face of the earth. Each and every time a natural disaster like this happens, we step up. We are there. "Despite the fact we're experiencing tough times here at home, I would encourage those Americans who want to support the urgent humanitarian effort --"
I can also see where Janna is worried about credit card companies getting a cut, but I googled "haiti donation credit card" and saw this article:Web Link says in part "Rogers (Canadian cel phone provider) waived its normal text message fee to ensure 100 per cent of the donations made through its charity of choice,...Visa Canada and MasterCard Canada confirmed they are not charging their usual "interchange" fee on donations to specified charitable organizations."
and this article Web Link says: "American Express and Visa on Thursday waived transaction fees for donations made via their credit cards to quake-hit Haiti amid criticism over profits by banks and credit card firms on contributions." In addition, the companies are donating hundreds of thousands of dollars to the effort.
If you would like to continue taking any more false cheap shots, fire away. I am waiting.

The first quote you listed doesn't show Rush encouraging people to donate to the Haiti relief effort, and the second is actually Rush quoting Obama. So, whatever you were trying to show there didn't work out so well.
Here are a few choice quotes from the transcript, actual Limbaugh quotes -
"Now, I want you to remember, it took him three days to respond to the Christmas Day Fruit of Kaboom Bomber, three days. And when he came out after those three days, he was clearly irritated that he had to do it. He didn't want to do it. He comes out here in less than 24 hours to speak about Haiti."
"Oh, this is what he lives for. He lives for serving those in misery. Now, don't misunderstand here, folks. I don't have the whole press conference, but I wonder did he apologize for America before acknowledging we are the only people on earth that can possibly help 'em out down there in any significant way? "
"That place, Haiti, has been run by dictators and communists, and how long is it going to be before we hear Obama and the left in this country say that what we really need to do is reinstate the communist Aristide to the leadership position down there to coordinate putting the country back together? The Haitian economy is entirely dependent on foreign aid. They produce nothing. Zilch, zero, nada.
(Hi, it's me. For your edification, please see Web Link
Just so you notice, aid is actually 5.1% of the GDP. Which means they produce something more than nothing, zilch, zero, OR nada.)
"...it won't be long before somebody in the Obama administration suggests that we reinstate, reinstall Aristide, because there's sympathy with these kind of people. So we'll keep a sharp eye on this, but I'm just fascinated here the country the president of the United States feels the need to apologize for, the country the president of the United States feels is immoral and unjust, can barely contain himself running to the cameras in less than 24 hours after this earthquake to pledge aid and to ask citizens who have lost their jobs because of his policies to donate to the relief effort."
"Yes, I think in the Haiti earthquake, ladies and gentlemen -- in the words of Rahm Emanuel -- we have another crisis simply too good to waste. This will play right into Obama's hands. He's humanitarian, compassionate. They'll use this to burnish their, shall we say, "credibility" with the black community -- in the both light-skinned and dark-skinned black community in this country. It's made-to-order for them. That's why he couldn't wait to get out there, could not wait to get out there."
Of course, Rahm Emanuel's comments were not made regarding this situation or meant at all in this context, but whatever, Rush can just throw it out there and people with a chip on their shoulder can shout "Yeah! Yeah!"
"Would you trust that your name is going to end up on a mailing list for the Obama people to start asking you for campaign donations for him and other causes." More Rush BS, because it's just a link. He later goes on the complain the WH doesn't offer enought direction.
I won't even go post the parts about the peace prize money or the brother in a hut, because they are so disgusting.
I see a whole lot of BS trying to stir people up! Typical Limbaugh BS.

Call it BS if you like, but the evidence on the ground shows the reality of life in Haiti. Look at the before pictures in the earthquake slideshows. Poorest country in the Western hemisphere. The presidential palace (when it stood) made the White House look like a hovel, where many of the residents of Haiti live in actual hovels. 50% of the population lives on less than $2 a day.
So, yeah, ok, not nothing. NEXT to nothing. Oh boy, you got him there.
It is unfortunate that we have Obama in the WH as this tragedy strikes. A Bush admin would already have the CIA in there working to install a puppet government and promoting democracy and freedom. Instead, we are just going to keep shoveling cash into a campfire, all we will get is more ashes and smoke.
Heh heh, fruit of the kaboom, I liked that line.

Jim, my intention wasn't to "get him there." My intention was to point out that he said they are "entirely dependent" on foreign aid, when aid is actually 5.1% of the GDP.
As far as Bush v. Obama strategy, I'm sure you didn't miss your buddy's assurances that Obama is going to rush to reinstate a Communist dictator to the Haitian government, so you don't have to worry about the ashes and smoke.
I can tell you are a Rush fan, as you have adopted his sarcastic tone. Congratulations on being able to maintain your sense of scorn and sarcasm in the face of tragedy.

DWYT, do you want me to C&P your sarcasm & scorn? If you are trying to make me feel guilty about Haiti, then dwyt. I am pretty sure I have donated more to Haiti relief than you.
It is only sarcasm when it isn't true. The country was a wreck before the earthquake. The proper moves now could actually make things better there in the long term. I don't think the Obama administration will make the necessary moves.
Janna - the Red Cross link was apparently temporary. Now the primary link is to the Bush-Clinton-Obama relief fund. Great, our last three white house administrations who have accomplished pretty much zero in Haiti are now gonna take more of our money and make things all better there.
Clinton already mad the problem worse by flying down and taking up space on the runway. He could fly to DR or Jamaica or the USS Carl Vinson and copter in. His landing there hindered efforts.

Look, more Limbaughesque tactics: "I am pretty sure I have donated more to Haiti relief than you."
I'm going to try to take the high road here and say that I'm glad that apparently we've BOTH donated to support victims of the earthquake in Haiti. I hope they get the help they need, and that some fundamental improvements can be made in the process. That we're arguing about this on a blog while people are actually suffering physically and emotionally to that degree is silliness.
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Jan 19, 2010 at 4:52 pm
Whether you choose to donate to Haiti is a personal choice. Do not feel guilty if you don't because the taxes you pay help pay for disasters such as these. The USA has given Haiti over 2 million dollars since the early 1990's and 2 trillion since the 1960's. I believe we should help in the rescue, but I do not believe it is our job to rebuild. What have they done with all of the money we gave them? Is there that much corruption?
I am very disappointed in Obama. All he does is spend. And I don't like the idea of our government having so much control. I will NOT be voting for him next time, big mistake!!!!!

Saul Bass on the new AT&THelen Walters
Ok, not the latest version of the AT&T. But our new Innovation & Design writer, Matt Vella, just put together an analysis of the latest branding venture from AT&T as it continues to evolve after its merger with Cingular Wireless. I put together a slideshow on the evolution of the logo design, and in so doing, came across an interview with Saul Bass, published in Pacific Telephone Magazine in 1970. Bass and his team, of course, developed the pared down Bell logo that was introduced in 1969, while they also worked on the iconic "Death Star" globe implemented in 1984.
What's particularly interesting about this interview is both how prescient Bass (revered by graphic designers everywhere) was, and how so much of what he had to say resonates — and so often continues to be ignored — today. Direct quotes after the jump.
On corporate identity "A new 'look' for any organization cannot be a papier-mache cover, tacked on with Scotch tape under the heading of 'beautification.' It has to be based on a probing examination of the company and the people who work for it. As a result, the eventual external visual design becomes the graphic extension of the internal realities of a company."
On the importance of dynamic branding "The average individual lives in a high impact, complex, visual environment. It is more difficult than one would think... to break through and make a strong consistent impression."
On AT&T / Bell It's important to reflect in its appearance that the Bell System's responding to the needs of today -- not the past; that it is offering challenges to young people... not only security; that it plays an active role at the advancing edge of modern technology... that it is not set in its ways.
Judging by Matt's piece and the responses of the designers he interviewed to the company's latest branding activity, it seems like with all the mergers and the convolution of the wireless/mobile/telecom industry, AT&T may have lost its vision. What do you think?

Duane Graves and Justin Meeks, who both co-directed the popular indie The Wild Man of the Navidad, are reteaming for Boneboys, which is now filming in Dallas Texas. Penned by The Texas Chainsaw Massacre's Kim Henkel, Boneboys is comedic horror inspired by Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal," in which the author suggested, tongue firmly in cheek, that cannibalism might be a good notion. Henkel's script looks at the descendants of a culture that adopted just that philosophy. ""They discovered that eating human flesh is highly addictive," he said. "Eat too much and it turns you into a monster." Chain Saw fans will enjoy a few cameos by Ed Neal, who was the hitchhiker in the original film, and John Dugan, who was the grandfather. Bill Johnson, Leatherface in 1986's Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, pops up as Mr. Grimm, a baker who tries to lure the innocent into his shop.

The Dali Lama, who is noted for deep religious beliefs, shocked many members of the media by informing the world he was a Marxist, and he was not referring to the Marx Brothers comedy team. "I am a Marxist," and he then proceeded to describe how Communist leaders had combined market economics with government programs in order to create a new version of the Marxist ideal of equality. Although, the Chinese Communist government regards him as an enemy of the state and leader of reactionary religious groups, the Dalai Lama most probably is referring to the humanist ideas of the young Karl Marx whose vision of a society based on egalitarian relationships is what the Tibetan leader means by his reference to Marxism.
The Dalia Lama emphasized that harmony must come out of the heart, not out fear. The young Marx also had such idealistic goals but believed they could only be attained by crushing not merely capitalism, but capitalist ways of thinking that emphasize greed and individualism.

I have a few confessions to make. First, I can't take full credit for this very-simple-yet-very-delicious little recipe. Second, it came from Teresa Giudice's new cookbook Skinny Italian. Yes, that's Teresa from Real Housewives of New Jersey. Yes, I love that show. No, I'm not ashamed to admit it. Her cookbook was one of my law school graduation gifts. (I also got a new camera lens, which I used to shoot the photo below.) Now, if you're like me you're probably thinking, "Vinegar and strawberries? Really?" Really. As in, "really delicious." The brown sugar makes the glaze so sweet it's fantastic. I added a little bit of lemon juice just to mix it up a bit. Teresa's recipe calls for drizzling the glaze over strawberries and orange slices but I've drizzled it over some blackberries, too.
Also, I highly recommend her cookbook, especially if you're a fan of the show. There are quite a few personal tidbits and insights that a RHNJ lover will definitely appreciate (and not a small number of jabs at the show's villain, Danielle). My only criticism of the book is actually more of a compliment - I wish there were more recipes. The ones she includes are pretty darn tasty and I want some more! Maybe since Skinny Italian quickly became a NY Times Best Seller she'll put together a second cookbook with a little more gossip and a lot more recipes.
Strawberries with Balsamic Glaze
What You Need:
2 tbsp. brown sugar
2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
Sliced strawberries and oranges (or whatever other berries you want)
Little sprinkle of lemon juice (optional but it adds to the tangy-ness!)
What To Do:
1. Place sugar, lemon juice (if you're using it), and vinegar in a small saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil.
2. As soon as the mixture starts to boil, turn off heat and set aside too cool.
Seriously, I mean it. As soon as it starts to boil! If you over cook it, it will caramelize (like it did for me because I was distracted with my Property outline). Granted the caramelized version is still delicious, but it's really sticky and gooey and not so fun on your teeth.
3. Once the sauce has cooled, drizzle over your sliced fruit and enjoy!
*I'm still learning how to work with the new lens - hence, the blurriness.

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart's level of fame is "tragic," Twilight author Stephenie Meyer says in a new interview. Speaking with London's Sunday Times magazine, the novelist discusses how the wildly successful film series propelled its two leads to superstardom — for better and worse.
"Here's the thing: there are some actors who are looking to be world famous, to be that household name, and although they might discover that there are a lot of negative things involved in that, it's what they want," says Meyer. She explains, "But that doesn't apply to Kristen and Rob. That's what makes it kind of ironic and tragic."
"'I just don't think they enjoy the parts [of fame] that other people would," continues Meyer. "And I totally get that, because it would not be my thing either." In fact, The Host author admits she even feels "guilty" that while her books put Stewart and Pattinson in the paparazzi-crazed spotlight, she gets to escape most of the pitfalls of celebrity. "It's created this nice, peaceful place for me," says Meyer. "They took all of my heat, which I feel bad about." She adds, "If they had the choice, I've no idea if they'd even do Twilight again. I just don't know. I think this has all come at a heavy price."

- Publisher's Summary
- The present book is the first of its kind in dealing with topological quantum field theories and their applications to topological aspects of four manifolds. It is not only unique for this reason but also because it contains sufficient introductory material that it can be read by mathematicians and theoretical physicists. On the one hand, it contains a chapter dealing with topological aspects of four manifolds, on the other hand it provides a full introduction to supersymmetry. The book constitutes an essential tool for researchers interested in the basics of topological quantum field theory, since these theories are introduced in detail from a general point of view. In addition, the book describes Donaldson theory and Seiberg-Witten theory, and provides all the details that have led to the connection between these theories using topological quantum field theory. It provides a full account of Wittenbs magic formula relating Donaldson and Seiberg-Witten invariants. Furthermore, the book presents some of the recent developments that have led to important applications in the context of the topology of four manifolds.

I do respect the specialty a lot, and understand how important it is, but I think my interests lie elsewhere.

Difference Between Buddhism and Hinduism
Buddhism and Hinduism both have their origins in India and Lord Buddha, the prophet of Buddhism, hailed from a Hindu family. In fact, Hindus even consider Lord Buddha to be a part of 'dasavatar' or 'ten reincarnations of Lord Vishnu'. However, there are quite a few fundamental differences between both the religions.
Hinduism strongly believes in 'Atman', the soul and 'Brahman', the eternity of self. As per Buddhism, there is no concept of the self or I and salvation involved in realizing this concept.
Hindus worship several gods and goddesses. While Buddha did not deny the existence of any god, he preached that it is futile to search or seek something which an individual is not even aware of.
After his first experience of the world, Buddha became disillusioned and went on to preach that life is full of sorrows and the only solution to end these sufferings was to seek nirvana. While Hinduism also recognizes that there is suffering in human life, the sorrows are attributed to previous karma or actions of the human being. However, one can attain divine bliss by discovering the Atman and Brahman.
In Hinduism, the followers pray all natural sources of the earth like stones, water, sun etc. However in Buddhism, this is not so. They only pray Buddha.
As per Hinduism, there are different ways to seek union with God – Raja Yoga or meditation, Karma Yoga – righteously doing all the duties as demanded in this human world, Bhakti – prayer and devotion and Jnana Yoga or the path of knowledge. Buddha preached the four noble truths and the eightfold path to achieve Nirvana. The four noble truths involve acknowledging the universal existence of sufferings, that these sufferings are due to the misleading desires of the ever changing world and that the search for eternity only worsens human suffering and in order to overcome sufferings and attain nirvana, one must suppress those false desires and follow the eight-fold path.
1.Hinduism is based on the concept of atman and Brahman whereas Buddhism denies the existence of an eternal soul
2.Buddhism emphasizes on sufferings in the existing world whereas Hindus believe that one can enjoy divine bliss through moksha or reunion with God
3.Buddhism believes in attaining nirvana through the four noble truths and eightfold path whereas Hinduism believes there are several ways one can reach to God.
4.Hinduism believes in the existence of several gods whereas Buddhism reasons as to why one should seek a God which nobody is aware of.

There are quite a few errors in this article. Major ones being
1. Hindus do not worship stones, water etc
2. Hindus do not have numerous gods. What is usually translated as Gods in english are just deitys. Hindus believe in 1 God
kin i am a scientist and hindu people are polytiestic
jo u may be a scientist bust you lack complete knowledge of hinduism hindus have just one supreme beingthe paramatma and he can be worshiped in any form ,hence the muliple gods .they are acually dietes praying to who too leads to the supreme being .please read up some more beforer commenting thank you
what website work better is buddismforkids.comand tells you all and go information
Bro do you even English?
Don't matter if he do or don't, he here aint he?
He can talk if he wanna
You mean historian or archaeologist.
Hinduism is based on the concept of atman and Brahman
{{ whereas Buddhism denies the existence of an eternal soul}}
I thought Buddhism was all about reincarnation?
No friend, Buddhism is not on reincarnation, but on rebirth. I am not sure reincarnation is a special case of rebirth although. When someone dies, he dies. But his very powerful karma or his last karma (it is series complex of things) may give another birth in the the four hells, in human world, in one of six heavens or in a Brahmin world or will not give a birth if he had no any connection or possession in mind. There must be a reason behind each thing. If there is nothing, there will be no result. In brahmin worlds, beings have either body or mind, not both. However this rebirth is determined by karma in last last birth or some other factors, keen Buddhists know, but they cannot interprete, only Lord Buddha could. This birth, the being will have to suffer the karma done by the beings which created the chain up to this birth. It will be good or bad, but mostly bad. Hope u could get some sought of understanding
I'm confuse what to believe in. I believe we are all one with mother nature and everything within the planet, that karma is real and plays a part in our lives. What I'm asking is am I to be hindu or buddhist??
Use the teachings of both and follow your own path
look up daoism.
Following Hinduism wud mean you r free..free to think..free to study-explore-contemplate on the universal Truths dat Hinduism puts forward..Buddha was divine,compassionate &enlightened..but to be honest he did not preach anything new..anything that was not already there in the vast ocean of Hinduism..he only stated things that you need I already know..Eg. we know there is suffering in this world..nothing to discover..
.all Hindus believe in rebirth. .in karma..abt suffering being d result of a cumulative effect of bad karmas- u reap wat you sow..
Hindus know abt d various paths to Brahman. ..the Supreme all pervading Divinity of which we are a tiny part..Hindus believe that we need to overcome desires, Vices,attachments & do positive n good karmas & also meditate & seek God ..
It's like d big bang…we r tiny specks of d huge divine Brahman & we will one day become pure enough to merge wid d divine from whom we emerged..
You don't have to do anything to become a Hindu.
Excellent summary. I wish Christians would stop teaching their kids and all kids in schools that we r polytheistic. I am constantly correcting this and it annoys me to no end.
Thx for the help it may help me on my essay. 🙂
The beauty of Hinduism is that it is at its core a philosophy and a blueprint for living and allows for material prosperity as well as ignorance but also provides paths to moksha for those who seek it. But no judgement on those who don't because "we don't know what we don't know"

For the respectable classes, work is the order of the day. One visiting England during this period could easily compare it to the hustle and bustle of New York 100 years later. Men and women young and old as well as children work and work and work. It wasn't until 1874, however that children under the age of 9 were barred from all forms of wage-earning labor.
Women working in industrial situations is waning, but the 1871 census still showed 26% of women over 15 working as many hours as they could. Hours on the job for working men were also going down and the fear of losing one's job was always on one's mind. There were always more applicants than positions available whatever the job to be filled. Jobs were so scarce that it wasn't uncommon for clerical staff being made responsible for the cleaning of the office as well.
Unskilled laborers were most at risk and if one earned a bad name as a troublemaker, they were usually blacklisted and had to find work in another district. The skilled laborer fared better as he wasn't as easy to replace. However in times when it cost more to educate sons, and daughters still had no respectable marriage prospect, the death of a professional father could destroy his family.
With the construction of the docks on the East End, the population consisting of mostly working class people began to grow along with the establishment of its own entertainment network not unvisited and unrecognized by the rest of London.

(IDAHO FALLS) – The Bonneville County Prosecutor's Office is leading an investigation into the death of a Salmon woman who died in police custody Oct. 31.
The Lemhi County Sheriff's Office said Kari Lynn Stephanishen, 44, strangled herself with a seat belt after being arrested on drug-related charges.
Officers discovered the woman "some time" later after searching a vehicle in which she was a passenger. She was later taken to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center where she died.
The woman's family claims foul play was involved considering that the woman was handcuffed.
Lemhi County officials said its standard procedure for incidents like these to be investigated independently by an outside agency.

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by juck, Dec 17, 2012.
For the most part, I agree with you here. And Scipio, I love your Autobot logo with the Santa hat as an avatar. Pretty sweet.
Yeah, but in these situations sometimes its better to know who is actually putting in the good work. This isn't an area Jerry would even handle, looking on random couches for guys has to be some underling guy who is finding them.
I'm only dating this one chick cause she already owned Cowboy panties that she bought.
True story.
That would be the pro scouts...
and in this case, Scipio is right. If Jerry is the guy who signs the checks, he AND them should get pats on the back.
Just in this case? What about all the other cases?
There are other cases?
Think she meant in this one case you might be right but in all others your usually wrong.....not that I'm trying to start something......:laugh2:

CHICAGO -- Alfonso Soriano sparked the Cubs with his swing and saved them with his arm Wednesday night as Chicago reclaimed first place in the NL Central with another dramatic victory.
Soriano hit a leadoff home run and made a great throw to preserve a tie in the top of the eighth. The Cubs then scored a strange, go-ahead run in the bottom half of the inning after Ken Griffey Jr. was injured to beat the Cincinnati Reds 3-2.
The victory, coupled with Houston's 5-4 win over Milwaukee, gave the Cubs a one-game lead.
"If ever there was a must game for us this year, truthfully this was it," manager Lou Piniella said.
And Soriano provided the boost.
Brandon Phillips hit a sharp single to left field that Soriano fielded, and his throw cut down the speedy Norris Hopper at the plate to preserve a 2-2 tie. It wasn't close.
It was the 16th assist of the season for Soriano, a former second baseman.
"He hit it very hard and I took it on once bounce and made a good throw," Soriano said. "That's what I have to do. I know the runner on second runs very good."
Soriano's throw with a three-quarter motion is deceptive and arrives quickly.
"I'm happy that they run on me," he said.
"He's got that little fade into home plate. I wish I had that on the golf course," Piniella said.
With one out in the Cubs eighth, Ryan Theriot singled and made it second when Griffey fumbled the ball in right field for an error.
Derrek Lee followed with another single to right. As Griffey fielded the ball and started to make a throw, he stopped in pain. Griffey underhanded the ball back to the infield and fell to the ground as Theriot held third.
Griffey stayed down for several minutes and gingerly walked off with trainers at his side. The Reds said he had a lower abdominal strain.
"Hopefully it's not as bad as it feels," said Griffey, who will return to Cincinnati on Thursday to be examined by team medical director Dr. Timothy Kremchek.
Griffey said he got hurt when he made a little change of direction after backhanding Lee's hit and doesn't remember much about his underhanded throw.
"I knew I threw it, but that's about it," he said. "It's been a little sore for a while. But it's a situation where the games don't mean anything for us, but you have to go out there and try to finish strong and hopefully be tough on other teams."
Mike Stanton replaced Gary Majewski (0-3) and pinch-hitter Matt Murton hit a sinking liner to left that a sliding Adam Dunn was ruled to have trapped. Dunn threw to second to force Lee as Theriot scored.
"I have to look at the replay, but I know I caught it," Dunn said. "It wouldn't have mattered either way but that was kind of the reason that I slid that way instead of diving head first because at least I would have had a chance to maybe make a throw."
Dunn said the outfield at Wrigley Field is dangerous.
"I'm surprised more people don't get injured out there. It's as bad as there is," he said. "It's worse than playing in a parking lot. It looks like they had a monster truck rally. It's terrible. There's potholes. It's bad. It's unsafe."
Bob Howry (6-7) pitched two innings for the win.
Soriano and rookie Geovany Soto hit solo home runs off Tom Shearn. The Reds helped out the 30-year-old rookie by turning three double plays in his six innings.
Dunn hit his 40th homer and Edwin Encarnacion also connected off Ted Lilly. The left-hander went seven innings and gave up five hits and two runs while pitching on three days' rest.
Soriano's leadoff homer was his ninth the season, setting a Cubs' franchise record. Rick Monday hit eight in 1976.
Soto, the Pacific Coast League Player of the Year, hit his second homer since being recalled on Sept. 1.
Encarnacion hit his 15th, and second in two nights, to tie it at 1-1 in the second.
Dunn reached 40 homers for the fourth consecutive season -- a club record -- by launching a long drive onto Sheffield Avenue for a 2-1 lead in the fourth.
Like Carlos Zambrano on Tuesday night, Lilly worked on short rest so he could get two more starts in the final week and a half of the regular season. He gave up an infield hit to Hopper and a single to Jeff Keppinger to start the first, but escaped by getting Griffey to ground into a double play.
The Reds threatened again in the seventh when Dunn walked and Lee missed Joey Votto's grounder to first base for an error, putting runners at the corners. Lilly struck out David Ross and pinch-hitter Alex Gonzalez, leaving the game tied.
- Shearn spent 12 years in the minors before making his major league debut last month. He mixed an assortment of pitches at different speeds -- in one three-pitch sequence, his offerings were clocked at 86 mph, 68 and then 74.
- Mark DeRosa was 2-for-2 and is 14-for-15 in his last four games against the Reds.
- Dunn's homer was the 20th of his career at Wrigley Field.

A crucial 'on switch' that boosts the body's defences against infections has been successfully identified in new scientific research.
The breakthrough made by researchers at the University of Aberdeen and the University of Dundee could lead to the development of new drugs to enhance the body's immune responses to attack, which could benefit people suffering from cancer and other serious conditions.
Their findings have been published in the Journal of Molecular and Cell Biology.
"We have shown that the cells which turn on our immune responses to defend against, for example, infectious diseases, require a particular protein to activate them in order to function properly," explains Dr Martin-Granados formerly of the University of Aberdeen and now at Cambridge.
"This protein, or enzyme, (PTP1B) effectively acts as a kind of 'on switch' and if it is missing or dysfunctional in our body, we cannot mount effective immune responses to tumours or infections."
