Title: Pack of Two

Standard Dis, No warnings
Author's Notes: Your comments are greatly appreciated. This was written mostly for myself, in an attempt to bring what I know into the world of Supernatural. So please- love it, hate it, I wanna know why. Thanks!
My name is Ralph, and I'm a purebred Golden Retriever.
I'm also a therapy dog, and this is the story of the day I met Sam and Dean Winchester.
"Okay Jimmy, you rest now. Ralph and I will be back in a few days to visit you again, okay?"
"Will Ralph do more tricks?"
"Sure he will. But only if you do everything the nurses tell you, okay?"
Jimmy sighed. "Even if they tell me to eat my vegetables?"
"Especially if they tell you to eat your vegetables."
I look up at my adopted mother. We've just finished making this little human happy and she's smiling, her left hand twisted in my leash. It tugs on my collar, jingling my tags. I take a step closer to her and continue waiting.
"Okay," Jimmy sighs, crossing his arms. He looks mad, but when he looks at me, he smiles. "Bye, Ralph!"
Before my mother can cue me, I bark once. My tail thumps against the doorframe.
"Goodnight, Jimmy."
"Goodnight, Lisa."
My mother turns and I back up, out into the hallway. "Good boy," she mutters, rubbing the ridge on the top of my head. "Let's go next door now, okay?"
As we walk, my toenails clack on the shiny floor. It looks wet and slippery in my grayscale vision; it took lots of practice before I trusted walking on it. I hate sliding on it.
It's warm in here. I open my mouth to pant, hating the way my cape traps the heat in my fur. Mother will give me a drink soon enough, though. She always takes care of me.
We stop just outside the doorway and I sit. I always have to sit before we go through a door.
Mother knocks. "Hello? Sam, are you awake?"
The window curtains are drawn but I can clearly see the figure on the bed, despite the dim light. This person is big, bigger than most of the humans we talk to. But I can smell the hurt and the sadness and a hint of something else, so I know we have not made a mistake. This male needs me.
"I'm awake." The voice is smooth and quiet and I have to perk up my ears to hear it.
"Would you like a visit from Ralph?" Mother asks.
I listen closely, cocking my head to hear what the human on the bed will say. The sheets rustle as he looks at me. I continue to pant softly and my tail swishes across the floor. Humans seem to like it when I do these things and I want him to like me. I want to show him that I'm not scary.
"I'm not a little kid- I don't need a visit from a dog." His voice sounds sad.
Mother smiles and pats my head. I look up at her.
"Careful, don't hurt his feelings. He just wants to say hi. Please? You look like you could use the company."
The man on the bed is quiet for a moment. I look around. There's another person's scent in this room, though no one else is here now. The other person smells like my adopted Dad- musky and reeking of the liquid he splashes on his face after he gets wet. Is Sam sad because the other person isn't here?
"Fine," the man on the bed says at last. "What do I say to it?"
Mother moves her foot and I stand up. I walk at her side as we approach the bed. The smell of hurt is a lot stronger here. I hope he likes me- I want to make him happy.
"You say whatever you want to," Mother says. "I'm Lisa."
They shake hands and I sit again. I know what's coming.
Mother turns to me. "Ralph, say hello to Sam."
I shift my weight and raise my paw, moving it up and down until I hear Mother's "Good boy." Sam smiles at me and I wag my tail. I'm happy; that trick always makes the humans smile.
"What else can he do?" Sam asks.
"Ralph can do lots of things," Mother says. "But he's really good at listening."
I scoot forward, my toenails scraping on the floor. This human isn't like the rest, and I want to know why.
"I don't have anything to talk about," Sam says. "At least not to a dog."
His voice is low and sad and I whine in response. The smell of pain bothers me. I hate it. The hurt in this human is very strong but he is very good at hiding it, just like me. The little humans aren't so good at it. I don't know which is sadder.
"Everyone needs to talk. Have you ever owned a dog?"
"No. My family moved around too much."
His voice is still sad and I scoot forward some more, pulling on my leash. Mother drops the length of it, remaining where she is with the handle in her hand. I rest my chin on the bed and squint up at Sam. This close to him, another scent tickles my nose, a strange odor I've never smelled before. It smells like danger. It makes me nervous. What is it?
"I see," Mother said. "My dad was in the Army, we had to move around all the time. It was upsetting. I hated leaving my friends behind."
Sam stared at me, his fur hanging down almost in his eyes. He needed to go to the groomers soon. Next to him, his machines beeped and whirred and dripped and blinked. I hoped they wouldn't start screaming. I hate it when they scream.
"It's not so bad, I have a big brother."
"Where is your brother?"
The lines on Sam's face disappeared and he finally reached out, lightly touching the top of my head. I closed my eyes briefly and waged my tail. His fingers moved from my eyebrows to the top of my neck and I groaned in appreciation. His pain was starting to go away.
"He went to get something to eat. He'll be back soon." Sam blew out air and my eyes popped open as I sniffed his breath. "He'll get a kick out of this."
I smell sickness and medicine on his breath. I sigh.
"He like dogs?"
"He'll never admit it, but I know he does." Sam continued smoothing the fur on my head and slowly, my eyes fell closed again. The combination of soothing strokes and dissipating pain relaxes me. I loved this job. Humans can be so calming. All I have to do was sit next to them and they pet me. Sometimes, when Mother isn't looking, they feed me human food.
I love human food.
"Why won't he admit it?"
"I don't think dogs qualify as 'macho' enough. Dean's pretty aware of his social image."
"Nonsense," Mother replied. "Ralph belches and passes gas just like every other guy."
Sam laughs and I open my eyes. They are both looking at me. I don't know my, but I wag my tail anyway.
Sam starts petting me again.
"So how does a handsome young guy like you end up in a place like this?" Mother asks.
Sam's fingers stop moving. I sigh. Sometimes Mother makes the hurt humans sad. I don't think she means to, but I wish she wouldn't. I have to work even harder to make them happy again.
"Bruised kidney."
There's a tension in the air, like when Mother wants me to do something and I don't understand what it is. I raise my head and look at her. She looks at me. She wants me to fix it, to make Sam happy again.
So I bark.
It works. Sam smiles at me, so I bark again.
"What's he want?"
"He wants you to keep petting him," Mother says. "Keep talking to him. He needs to finish his nap."
Sam reaches out to me and I hurry to put my chin back on his blankets. His touch is rough at first, sloppy and heavy, but soon his hand slows and resumes its original, hypnotizing rhythm. I groan.
The humans are quiet and the machines seem to get louder. The smells get stronger. I close my eyes and focus on Sam's touch, and his smell. He smells like outside, like a parking lot, like smoke and wood and blood. That prompts me to lick his hand, to find his wound and help him heal. But then, underneath all of those smells, I smell something else. The strange scent. It's dark, evil. It scares me and I open my eyes. What kind of human is this? What has he been doing? The evil hurt him, put him in this sick-place, I can tell. Why?
"What's he looking at me like that for?"
Mother runs her hand down my shoulders. "He's getting a read on you, that's all. He reads all the people we visit."
I whimper and shift my weight, raising a front foot and clawing lightly at Sam's bed. I was being bad, I knew, but Sam was different. Slowly, I rise up on my back legs and lean forward, so that my elbows slid into the small space between Sam's arm and side. My front feet draped over him and I stretched my neck to lick at his chin. The evil smell is scary and I want it to go away.
"Ralph!" Mother scolded. She grabbed my collar and I held my breath as it tightened against my neck. "Get down!"
"No, it's okay," Sam said as he wraps an arm around my shoulders. "He's not hurting me."
Mother hesitated, then let go. "I'm sorry. He knows better than this. I wonder what's gotten into him."
Sam looked into my eyes. I looked back, curious. What this human's secret? Why did he smell of evil? It made me shiver with fright and I didn't know why; it was the same way I always want to chase the strange little animals that live in the trees. Evil was dangerous, I know that. Evil meant hurt and death. All dogs know that. But I'd never smelt a human who smelled like evil. I'd never smelt anything living who smelled like evil.
I was confused, but somehow, I knew this human could be trusted. He was good. He was warm. I felt safe on his lap. The human wasn't evil, but he had fought something that was. This human was a guard-human, like the ones who wore dark clothes that jingled and smelled like burnt fire. This human protected other humans. And in turn, the evil had hurt him.
I whined and licked his face again. I wanted to help him. I wanted him to be happy. I wanted his hurt to go away and I wanted the evil to leave him alone.
But I didn't know what to do.
I know lots of human words: I know sit, down, come, stay, fetch, drop, good boy and no, heel, kisses, speak, spin, and wave.
But none of those things will work against evil.
This has never happened to me before. I've never met a human I couldn't fix. It makes me sad. I look to Mother. What do I do? Tell me- I'll do anything. Sam is good. I don't want evil to hurt him.
Mother just looks at me. She doesn't say anything. Her eyes get sad. Why is Mother sad? Mother never gets sad when we come here. She never lets the small humans see her sad.
I'm more scared now. I look back to Sam. His eyes are wet and he breaths in, wiping his face with his hand. He doesn't want Mother to see his wet eyes. His breathing is jerky, his muscles are tense. Something is very wrong here. Why are the humans so sad? Does Mother know about the evil that hurt Sam? Is Sam afraid of the evil? Do they know that I don't know how to help? I stretch forward and lick the salt from Sam's face. Salt equals hurt and I want it gone.
His hand drops onto my head and I try to stop licking him. The salt makes me even thirstier, but it always makes the little humans happy. I would do anything to make this human happy.
Finally, Sam smiled. His eyes were dry again and his hand was moving slowly on top of my head. I wagged my tail in encouragement. It was working!
I heard footsteps in the hall. They were fast and hard. Sam's friend was coming back. I turned to watch the doorway.
"All they had was tuna or chicken and I know you don't like- What the hell is this?"
A tall male stopped in the doorway. He looked angry. I started to back away from Sam. Maybe if I got down, the new stranger would like me.
Sam grabbed my collar and my tags jingled. I stayed.
"Dean- Ralph is visiting. It's okay."
I watched the new male enter the room. He smelled like human food and Sam, which was good. But this male also smelled like evil and I felt the hair on my back prickling as I shivered.
Mother stood up. "I'm Lisa. This is my therapy dog, Ralph. We were just visiting Sam- we can leave now."
Dean and Mother shook hands and I wanted to sit like Mother taught me but Sam was still holding my collar and I couldn't move. I was scared. The smell of evil was getting stronger, lingering on their clothes and skin like when I roll in the stinky stuff in the backyard.
Maybe someone should give these humans a bath- that's what Mother does to make my smell go away.
"I thought therapy dogs were for crippled kids and old people. Sam's fine- or he will be."
Mother gathered up my leash and moved closer to me, petting my neck like she always did when I was scared. "We were just passing by and thought Sam could use some company. Therapy dogs are for anyone who needs to smile."
Dean looked at Sam. "Sam's already a barrel of laughs, aren't you little brother?"
"I wanted them to come in. Ralph's an awesome dog. Here, pet him."
Dean looked at me and I lowered my tail. I was used to quiet people, slow people. I was used to hurt people. Dean was not hurt. He was loud. He moved fast. He didn't need me to make him happy. I didn't know what to do, but Sam still had his hand around my collar. I waited.
Then I noticed something. Sam's hurt was going away. He was watching Dean move and talk and it was making him happy.
Dean was doing what I could not.
Was Dean a therapy human? How did he know how to make Sam happy?
"Talk to him first," Mother said. "He's friendly."
"Nah, that's okay," Dean said. He reached past my nose and set the human food on the table next to Sam. I watched it, waiting to see if it would fall off. It smelled good.
"Well Sam, it was nice to meet you," Mother said. "But we still have an entire hallway to visit. As much as Ralph likes you, I'm afraid we need to be moving on."
I continued to watch the human food.
My mouth watered.
"Thanks for stopping by," Sam said. He let go of my collar, only to wrap both arms around my neck. He hugged me quickly and murmured, "Good boy," in my ear.
I drooled on his shoulder.
The human food was just sitting there. Was he going to eat it? I would like to eat it.
"Gross, look at what he's doing!" Dean said. "Sam, you're covered in slime. Don't think you're getting in my car without a shower."
Mother tugged on my leash and I backed up, sliding down onto the floor. My feet slid out from under me and I struggled to get my balance while keeping an eye on the human food. I wanted it to fall. Maybe Sam would give it to me.
I stared at him.
"I gotta say, Sam- I hope we don't see you again."
"Thanks for stopping by. Ralph's a special dog."
"Yes he is, isn't he?"
Mother patted my head. It was the cue that we were leaving, and I blinked, breaking my concentration.
Dean had brought the food for Sam, not me.
And anyway, now it was time to say goodbye to Sam.
We looked at each other. He smiled. His pain was almost gone now, and I knew it had something to do with his friend. The smell of evil still lingered on them but it was weaker now that they were together. I didn't understand it, but I knew that Dean would do the job I couldn't- Dean would protect Sam from the evil that battled them. These humans were safe together, in their own small pack. Everyone should have a pack. I was happy.
I knew that when we left, I wouldn't see them again. But I would never forget them; the humans who fought true evil and won. They were special. They were important in ways I didn't understand, I could feel it.
I wagged my tail and barked once. Goodbye, Sam.
"Bye, Ralph."

On Monday, I wrote about some of the new and different things the Milwaukee Bucks are doing to generate interest in the team.
Right now, Brandon Jennings, the flashy new guard for the Bucks, is the best marketing tool the team has. It's early, of course, but Jennings' third-quarter explosion last Saturday night should get any NBA fan excited.
That being said, the Bucks are unveiling another marketing gimmick that has great potential. It's a Speaker Series in which fans can buy a game ticket and get to meet and greet a well-known person.
The series begins on Nov. 15 and the first guest is Mark Cuban, the owner of the Dallas Mavericks. Conveniently, that's the night the Mavs are in town to play the Bucks.
For one-half hour, Cuban will host a question and answer session with fans.
Here are the various offerings: For $20, you get a $37 game ticket and a ticket to see Cuban. For $60, you get a $96 game ticket, a ticket to see Cuban and a networking event in the Bradley Room.
And for $100, you get a $121 game ticket, a ticket to see Cuban and the networking event.
John Steinmiller, the Bucks' vice president for business operations, says the team hopes to stage two or three Speakers Series events.
As most basketball fans know, Cuban is not shy about his opinions and is one of the more accessible owners in all of professional sports.

Sep. 23: Asian session
EUR/USD is consolidating in the tight $1.3535/20 range. The pair is, therefore, near a 7-month high of $1.3570 renewed on Thursday. According to the results of the German election, Merkel's Christian Democratic bloc took 41.5% of the vote vs. 25.7% for the Social Democrats. Despite the strong result of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), Merkel's coalition with the Bavarian Christian Social Union (CSU) lacks the overall majority, so they will possibly form a coalition with the Social Democrats. We'll watch how the market digests the election results. Don't miss the PMI releases of the euro zone's leading economies (07:00-08:00 GMT). The ECB President Mario Draghi will speak in the European Parliament at 13:00 GMT.
GBP/USD rose above the $1.6000 mark, remaining capped at $1.6030. USD/JPY is trading on the downside, though supported by the 100-day MA at 99.05. Japanese banks are closed in observance of Autumnal Equinox Day. US dollar fell versus yen as markets assess when the Fed will reduce the pace of its bond purchases. The FOMC voting member William C. Dudley is scheduled to speak today at 13:30 GMT. On Friday St. Louis Fed President James Bullard indicated an October move is possible. USD/CHF is trading above 0.9100, up from 0.9089.
AUD/USD rose by about 60 pips to $0.9430. Aussie rose as Chinese HSBC flash manufacturing PMI increased from 50.1 to 51.2, slightly above the forecast of 50.9. NZD/USD recovered by about 30 pips from $0.8340. USD/CAD opened with a bullish gap, but then slipped to 1.0290.

page 55
The next few days went by somewhat anxiously, punctuated by long cell phone chats with Bea about how scared we both were of the auditions' results.
Until, of course, she called me again and exclaimed impatiently that the letters had arrived. I literally ran down to the lobby of my apartment and opened my mailbox, pulling out the heavy cream-coloured envelope.
I ran my fingers over the red seal and inhaled sharply, knowing that some of the most important information concerning my life was lying inside.
"Let's open them together!" Bea said, "On the count of three."
"One, two....three!"
The seal snapped easily in my hands and I pulled the cardstock paper out, scanning through the contents to find what roles I had been cast to.
The Nutcracker-Sugar Plum Fairy
Romeo and Juliet-Juliet
Swan Lake-
My heart constricted as I continued on.
Swan Lake-Odile
I leaned against the wall, sinking to the floor.
"Bea...I'm not Odette."
"What?" she screeched, "Impossible!"
A second later I heard her sigh.
"And I'm not Giselle. I'm so sorry, Kat."
"It's still ten steps up from last year, I guess." I replied with uncertainty, feeling the taste of bitterness spreading in my mouth.
"What were you cast as? Those idiots must be blind!"
"Sugar plum fairy, Juliette, Odile-"
"-Odile?" Bea interjected incredulously, "But aren't Odette and Odile always played by the same woman?"
I shrugged, disheartened.
"I guess they decided to do things differently."
"Well, on the bright side," Bea said apologetically, "You've got two huge roles."
I looked at the letter again, my blood running cold. There was one last line I'd missed.
"Beatrice...I've been cast as Giselle."
I heard her pause before replying.
"Better you than one of the other snobs. Congrats."
"I'm sorry, Bea-"
"Hey, there's nothing to be sorry about. I have to call Alain and tell him the news. Later."
She hung up and I didn't bother trying to call her back. I read the rest of the letter, finding an invitation for a cast season-kickoff party, with the guest speaker none other than Talgus.
I would go, even if only for the chance to talk to him one last time before he headed back to Florida. Hopefully Bea would feel up to it too.

Sugar and Acidity in Preservative Solutions for Field-Grown Cut Flowers
introduction: As more and more growers are expanding their businesses by growing field-grown cut flowers, it is important to understand that all handling, from harvesting to marketing, will significantly affect the quality and the longevity of the flowers. Therefore, growing those beautiful field-grown flowers is only part of what it takes to have a successful cut flower business.
Once harvested from the plant, flowers undergo physiological changes that often lead to an early senescence. Steps to delay the process rely on consideration of many aspects of handling. Factors such as the stage and time of day of harvesting, bunching, sleeving, boxing (if necessary), temperature treatment, and the holding solution will all influence the quality and longevity of the flowers. In this article, I will discuss how sugars affect the postharvest quality of cut flowers and what a grower can do to optimize their postharvest performance.

Creating Little Clay Houses
|Beth S Macre on Etsy
Little Clay Houses
I have been making little clay houses for 8 years. I sell them on Etsy and in local arts and craft shows. Although I am not the only artist that makes little clay houses, there are not many, that I know of. There are others that sell them on Etsy (that are very cute), but I feel like mine are unique to those. Not to say that mine are better than others. Just made differently. As with anything creative that you sell, you need to make your product stand out from the rest.
The Creative Process
Occasionally people ask how to make something like my tiles or my houses. All I can say to that is to explain what materials I use (see my list below) and suggest that they buy some supplies and start creating. I took high school art and a ceramics class in college that taught me the basics of working with clay. The rest I taught myself. When I see something that I like, I do the research about the process and develop my own process and try to make mine unique from the other works that I admire. All artists, makers, and small business entrepreneurs should be doing the same. Find what you love to do and add your ideas to make it your own. You shouldn't take one person's idea and copy it. But you can make something that has been created before and make it original. Add your own ideas to it. Do some online research to see what is being done in your medium. Don't copy. We have seen how plagiarism has gotten some people into hot water lately. Plagiarism is not just about copying words. An artist owns copyright to their own original creations just as a writer does.
I will happily tell you what kind of supplies I use and where I purchase them. What I will not tell you is a step by step process of making my little clay houses. For one, they are all different. They are all one of a kind, but I do add, to each one, something to make them unique to my work. Things that I wouldn't want someone else to copy. That would be something that you will want to come up with for your own work. You would not want someone else to copy your design, copy your words, copy your ideas. So make your work original. Make it obvious that it is your creation. I have spent the last 8 years working on my designs and learning what works and what doesn't through trial and error.
What can you do to make your work stand apart
from another artist?
How can you be authentic with your own art?
Supplies I Use
Low fire white earthenware
- I buy it locally from a shop owner that is about a mile from my house. But I use to purchase it through Blick.com.
Variety of Ceramic tools
- I purchased my tools through Blick, several years ago. These tools last a long time. A good variety of wooden tools and carving tools would be a good start for a beginner.
Canvas cloth covered board
- I used cotton canvas that I stapled to a piece of 1/2 inch plywood.
Small Kiln (for small work)
- I purchased mine online, from Clay-King.com.
Variety of Low Fire Glazes
- I use Mayco Stroke and Coat (shown in the photo) They can be purchased online also. I have purchased from Blick, but they only sell the Pint size bottles and the 2 oz. bottles in sets. I like to order from Clay-King or The Ceramic Shop for the 8 oz. bottles and 2 oz. sizes for testing new colors.
Watercolor/Acrylic type paintbrushes
- I use a variety of styles of watercolor and acrylic brushes to apply glaze. You just need to experiment with a variety of styles and sizes to see what works best.
The supplies that I use are pretty basic supplies, except for the kiln. A kiln is not something that you would just go out and purchase without making sure that that is something that you really want to do.
So if you do not have a kiln, then you will need to find someone or some organization that does have access to one. I will talk more about my kiln in a later post. I will post a link here, when I get that post done.
Until next time, have a wonderful week!

By FRANCO PANIZO
Arsenal was one of the clubs reportedly interested in signing Clint Dempsey during this past summer's transfer window, but ultimately they lost out to rivals Tottenham in their bid to sign to him.
Now, Dempsey will have an opportunity to show them how big a mistake that was.
Tottenham travel to Emirates Stadium for the first North London derby of the season, and the match will give Dempsey an opportunity to rebound from a string of subpar performances. Dempsey has been known in the past to make an impact on high-profile fixtures, so manager Andre Villas-Boas will likely turn to him again on Saturday.
Mix Diskerud will be in action on Sunday, as he and Rosenborg BK will attempt to knock off Honefoss BK in their Eliteserien season finale. Diskerud is surely brimming with confidence after scoring his first international goal in the U.S. Men's National Team's 2-2 draw with Russia on Wednesday and he will be keen on building on that in the final game of his current deal with Rosenborg, who only need a tie on Sunday to assure themselves a place in next year's Europa League competition.
Another match worth watching will be Tijuana's game on Sunday against Monterrey, the second leg of their Liga MX quarterfinals series. Joe Corona, Edgar Castillo and Greg Garza could all be in action for Xolos, as they try to keep their 1-0 lead in tact at home against a very-experienced Monterrey side.
Here is who the Americans Abroad play this weekend:
Michael Parkhurst and FC Nordsjaelland play AGF Aarhus.
Clint Dempsey, Brad Friedel and Tottenham Hotspur play Arsenal.
Brad Guzan, Eric Lichaj and Aston Villa play Manchester City.
Tim Howard and Everton play Reading.
Jonathan Spector, Will Packwood and Birmingham City play Hull City.
Tim Ream, Stuart Holden and Bolton Wanderers play Barnsley. (Holden is out injured.)
Conor Doyle and Derby County play Crystal Palace. (Doyle is out injured.)
Zak Whitbread and Leicester City play Ipswich Town.
Robbie Findley and Nottingham Forest play Sheffield Wednesday.
Frank Simek and Carlisle United play Leyton Orient.
Mike Grella and Scunthorpe United play Notts County.
Robbie Rogers and Stevenage play Sheffield United.
Oguchi Onyewu and Malaga play Osasuna.
Carlos Bocanegra and Racing Santander play Villarreal. (Bocanegra is out injured.)
Steve Cherundolo and Hannover 96 play SC Freiburg.
Timmy Chandler and FC Nurnberg play Bayern Munich.
David Yelldell and Bayer Leverkusen play Jermaine Jones and Schalke 04.
Jozy Altidore and AZ Alkmaar play FC Groningen.
Sacha Kljestan and RSC Anderlecht play KV Kortrijk.
Terrence Boyd and Rapid Vienna play SV Mattersburg.
Conor O'Brien and SonderjyskE play Silkeborg IF.
Ventura Alvarado and Club America play Morelia.
Fabian Johnson, Danny Williams and TSG 1899 Hoffenheim play VfL Wolfsburg.
Andrew Wooten and SV Sandhausen play VfL Bochum.
Caleb Patterson-Sewell and Vitoria Setubal play Vitoria Guimaraes in the fourth round of Taca de Portugal.
Eugene Starikov and FK Rostov play Anzhi Makhachkala.
Clarence Goodson and Brondby IF play Esbjerg.
Josh Gatt and Molde FK play Fredrikstad.
Sean Cunningham and Stabaek IF play Stromsgodset. (Cunningham is out injured.)
Steve Clark and Honefoss BK play Mix Diskerud and Rosenborg BK.
Chad Barrett and Valerenga play Viking.
Joe Corona, Edgar Castillo, Greg Garza and Club Tijuana play Monterrey.
Geoff Cameron, Maurice Edu and Stoke City play West Ham United.
Michael Bradley and AS Roma play Torino.
Alfredo Morales, John Anthony Brooks and Hertha Berlin play Joe Gyau and St Pauli.
Charlie Davies and Randers FC play Odense BK.
Which of these games are you most looking forward to? Think Dempsey will have a big game against Arsenal? How do you see Corona, Castillo and Garza doing in Xolos' second leg versus Monterrey?
Share your thoughts below.
Arsenal never wanted Dempsey. Wenger got his targets and hoped van Persie would stay.
Parkhurst is leading the Danish league with 6assists. He needs a move up. maybe France or Germany
A hat trick against Arsenal would make Spurs fans bow before Clint
Daje Bradley
Greg Garza with the winning goal for Xolos!!!
dempsey has been absolutely horrible for spurs
My God you people get carried away. Dempsey hasn't been "absolutely horrible for Spurs". I have watched every game he has played in and has been as good as, if not better than the players around him in nearly every game (except two) he has played. When Spurs played poorly and were disconnected so was Dempsey. They are a team still very much trying to find themselves, especially amidst several key injuries to their team, Dembele, Assou- Ekotto, Parker, Adebayor (now healthy), etc. AVB's proposed team hasn't been fully assembled yet, but once it is Spurs will be buzzing. Dempsey looks to have beaten out Siggy for the CAM role. He should play this week, and for the love of God could you people please try and put things in perspective and quit getting so carried away. Separate your emotions from logic, then proceed.
I agree Joe. But hey let fans be fans.
ignore the frickin' troll, Joe. Simply ignore him. He is a Fulham fan angry at Clint for not signing the contract extension and going to Tottenham who swoops into SBI and signs in with a name for one thread to attack Clint with brilliant commentary such as, "duh, dempsey has been absolutely horrible for spurs. duh," and then the guy slithers out never to be heard again under that name and returns later with a new name for another duh comment. He's just trying to get a rise…Don't feed the troll.
Thanks Joe, I really needed your post.
In the 4 games I've seen, he looks solid, yet very much ignored on offense.
How in the hell did Robbie Rogers end up riding the bench for a League One side?
He's been out injured for a while, working back to match fitness.
I still cannot figure out why Lichaj is not getting a call up to the Nats. Klinsmann has made statements regarding calling up players who compete at the highest level and it would be impossible to argue that Lichaj does not play in one of the best leagues in the world. If we look at the last few call ups we see the following:
Carlos Bocanegra (Racing Santander), Geoff Cameron (Stoke City), Timmy Chandler (Nuremberg), Maurice Edu (Stoke City), Clarence Goodson (Brondby), Fabian Johnson (Hoffenheim), Edgar Castillo (Club Tijuana), Steve Cherundolo (Hannover), and Michael Parkhurst (Nordsjaelland).
You can certainly argue that Hannover, Nuremberg, and Stoke are in the same class as Villa. But Bronby, Nordsjaelland, or Tijuana? Racing Santander? Villa is currently sitting 17th and Stoke is at 11th but at least Lichaj dresses and gets on the field (unlike Edu). After watching the recent form of the defense, you have to admit that any change could be a good change.
If Klinsmann truly believes that we should only field Nats with big game, big league, and on field experience — than how can he not call in Lichaj? He can play on the right or left and gets forward. People have been clamoring for Omar Gonzalez to get a well deserved shot and I heard during the ESPN broadcast that Klinsmann would have called him for the roster. Yet Lichaj sits and waits for Chandler to make a decision — or Boca to have a comeback game — or Edu to start a Stoke game playing on the back line. I simply do not get it.
Ives — is there something going on in the background of this story? Has Klinsmann ever discussed Lichaj as an option?
away goals
No coach in history has based his entire selection policy on a single criterion. Any attempt to follow an ironclad rule (playing time for club, league status, etc) will eventually eliminate a top player from consideration.
At least it will for the usmnt given our lack of international quality depth.
Lichaj hasn't been playing well, it's not surprising at all.
Nick a
For now Parkhurst has been playing excellently and is a better option. Lichaj is a solid prospect but needs more playing time and to start playing better to get the call over Parkhurst and as a backup left back he may be better than Castillo but Castillo has helped lead Tijuana to first or second in the Mexican league and deserves at least a chance seeing as he's playing so well
Serious question, Nick. If Parkhurst has been playing excellently and is a better option, why did Klinsmann call up Chandler, who declined USMNT invitations the past year and is in poor club form, for the Russia friendly? Why not bring in Parkhurst to give him more international seasoning to prepare him for possible service next year in the Hex in case dolo gets hurt? Or, why not give Lichaj a chance to show what he can do? Lichaj might surprise.
Great point
Nick a
Don't get me wrong i like Lichaj but I think despite chandlers poor form he's still better than lichaj AND I think park hurst deserves a call up so I think our four outside backs will be dolo, chandler, Fabian Johnson, and Pankhurst. I stated that Castillo has been playing well also but I don't think he's better than those four. As for Chandler being called in and starting. I think we should just put the whole chandler thing behind us and move on w/o "punishing him". I think he got the start in Russia for a reason u stated, experience. Chandler hasn't played in a while so it was important to give him a chance to get back in the swing of things before Qualifiers begin. This way Dolo, Johnson, parkhurst (who has actually played quite a bit this year)'an chandler will all have experience just in case my starting pair would be Dolo and Johnson. Chandler and Parkhurst both have experience with team which seems like a good thing to me. Lichaj will definitely get a look but he needs to play more and stop averaging a yellow per game. I see him as a very likely gold cup starter next summer. I hope that answers your question well enough but that's just my opinion and I expect some to disagree.
All good points. Although Parkhurst has not blown my mind when appearing with the Nats, he serves as an example of someone who deserves serious consideration because if his club form. I still find it perplexing that Lichaj does not even get a call up for evaluation. Without explanation, it is hard for me to accept another Chandler or Boca call up without even evaluating Lichaj.
My overall impression is that his call ups are uneven. Some decisions make complete sense but others (calling up Boyd before he transferred to Rapid) seem odd to me considering the performance of other US players around the world (Wolo, Gatt). I suppose I can chalk up the early Boyd call ups as an investment but why not afford Lichaj the same opportunity?
Nick a
You make good points about Boyd but we are very thin a forward and I thought Lichaj deserved a call up for those five games at the beginning of the summer but Klinsmanns been smart in my opinion to leave Lichaj to fight for a spot now that the season has started. He deserved one IMO then but now we have 4 solid options all of which start for clubs. As I said Lichaj will have plenty of time and I see him breaking into the squad come the gold cup next summer. Does he deserved a chance? Yes. And I think the summer is when he gets it and hopefully makes his chance count because as I say, I like him. If you meant Wondo because I've never heard of Wolo he has had chances and I'm not sure he's quite got the soccer mind for international game but if there is a jan. camp call him in but I doubt klinsmann will because he stated it will most likely be a younger camp so I wouldn't be surprise to see Bruin, Sapong, Eddie Johnson(older but has seen success while Wondo has not. Perhaps the forth spot would go to Wondo but wouldn't be surprised to see Gordon (not a huge fan but klinsmann seems to be) or perhaps even jack mac
Anyone else getting up in the pacific time zone for Supus and Dempsey? I think I may try to stay awake…

Review/Theater; Resisting the Vortex By Living a Life Of Books and Anger
By FRANK RICH
Published: March 18, 1991
One need not be a jaded constituent of New York's literati to recognize Isaac Geldhart, the esteemed publisher and embattled Jewish father who stands at the center of "The Substance of Fire," the new play by Jon Robin Baitz at Playwrights Horizons. A childhood refugee from the "wrecked world" of the Holocaust, Isaac came to New York an orphan, reinvented himself as a bon vivant, married well and found a measure of fame and fortune as a rigorously independent champion of literary books that wouldn't be caught dead on a best-seller list. By the late 1980's, when Mr. Baitz's play unfolds, Isaac has long since been a brand name in the culture industry. He is one of those survivors, of post-war American intellectual firestorms no less than Old Europe's bloodbaths, who run Manhattan with an iron tongue.
Isaac is such a familiar type that one could draft an extensive list of actual literary power brokers -- no names will be named here -- who share some or most of his childhood background, professional resume, neo-conservative politics and cosmopolitan accent. But to recognize a Manhattan archetype is not the same thing as knowing one, and it is the searing achievement of "The Substance of Fire" that it keeps chipping and chipping away at its well-worn, well-defended protagonist until finally he and the century that shaped him and then reshaped him are exposed to the tragic quick. As written with both scrupulous investigative zeal and bottomless sympathy by Mr. Baitz and as acted in a career-transforming performance by Ron Rifkin, Isaac Geldhart is one of the most memorable and troubling characters to appear onstage this season.
He is also the harbinger of what is likely to be a major playwriting career for a dramatist who is only 29 years old. Mr. Baitz, who has previously been represented in New York by the highly promising "Film Society," is going to write better plays than "The Substance of Fire," but line by line, insight by insight, scene by scene, his writing is already so articulate, witty and true that it's only a matter of time before his theatrical know-how, some of which must come with experience, catches up with his talent. Mr. Baitz seems to understand so much -- about people, language, society -- and to be so eager to say what he knows that the naturalistic conventions of a work like "The Substance of Fire" simply cannot contain him.
Though this play wanders all over the place during its two enthralling hours, as if the young author were trying out different dramatic strategies for size, nearly every place it visits is of interest, not in the least because Mr. Rifkin's congenitally combative Isaac is always center stage. In Act I, the publisher is placed in a typical family-business conflict: to save his increasingly insolvent firm from Japanese takeover sharks, he must browbeat his three adult children, all principal stockholders, into philosophical and financial submission. In Act II, set a few years later, what seemed to be a potentially high-charged boardroom drama is all but forgotten (as are some of its players) while Mr. Baitz forces Isaac to confront the demons that would destroy him from within.
All of Isaac's struggles, of course, date back to the war in which his parents and grandparents died in the camps while he escaped incarceration. If Isaac has his share of survivor's guilt, compounded by the death of his wife six years before the play opens, he also has a survivor's arrogant omnipotence. With his natty, custom-made, double-breasted suits, verbal elegance and chilling charm, Mr. Rifkin presents the publisher as a figure of dazzling intellectual authority who long ago realized that he was the smartest person in any book-lined New York room. He never hesitates to remind all listeners that in an America where so many people dispose of their history and convictions for expediency's sake, he has kept the "fire" ignited by his youth, the spirit that keeps him sticking up for the highest standards in morality and literature alike.
Even his attractive and accomplished children do not escape his bullying condescension. Isaac refers to his Wharton-educated son (Jon Tenney), a partner in the publishing business, as an accountant and to his other son (Patrick Breen), a Rhodes scholar who teaches landscape architecture at Vassar, as an "assistant gardener." He dismisses his sensitive daughter (Sarah Jessica Parker), an actress in children's television, as "a hired clown." When all three suggest that a commercial novel of the brat pack school might bail out his bottom line, Isaac sticks to his plan of publishing a six-volume scholarly work on Nazi medical experiments and delivers a hilarious discourse on "slicko hipster" fiction that surpasses any diatribe yet published about "American Psycho."
For all his nastiness, it is hard to dislike Isaac, even as one is grateful that he is not one's own father or cocktail-party acquaintance. He is just too smart and funny and, on occasion, too right to be dismissed. Once Mr. Baitz ruthlessly challenges the premises by which Isaac has lived -- examining the real meaning of his survival, the substance of his "fire" -- the audience is caught up in the sad reckoning facing him in late middle age. Is Isaac's proud insistence on holding onto his past the choice that allowed him to survive, or is it a burden that robbed him of any hope for happiness?

Two weeks.
It had been two weeks since Daniel's death, and Eden hadn't heard anything from the police. Maybe they were collecting more evidence and would call her after to see what she knew. Though as the weeks stretched on, that possibility didn't seem likely.
John seemed to vanish during that time as well, but showed up at Millers on the night Eden took a chance and went out. They talked for what seemed like hours, but they didn't talk about the one thing that needed to be discussed.
"You're somewhere else," John observed softly.
"I'm sorry," Eden muttered, clutching her glass of beer. "There's just a lot going on. The police still haven't contacted me."
"Maybe they haven't gone through his phone yet."
"But one of them had to have seen me at his house. God, I feel so helpless."
John shrugged. "Just give it some more time. I want to know what happened as much as you do."
"This shouldn't have happened to Daniel," Eden whispered harshly. "Murder doesn't happen around here a lot."
John watched her, his mouth twitching. "It happens more than you even realize."

All About Playing Cards
Posted by David Russell on 3/6/2012 to Playing Cards
These purposes varied from casino-style card games, such as Poker, Blackjack, Solitaire or Gin; to fortune telling, in the form of tarot cards; to collectible trading cards with popular media characters imprinted on one side.
But whatever their purpose, they were almost always of a rectangular shape, one side identical to the others in the deck, or series, and the faces (or front) of the cards depicting a picture of some sort. In the modern, common deck of cards, we draw the faces from France. The kings, queens and knaves drawing from real historical figures; and they are as follows:
The King of Hearts: King Charles (or Charlemagne) The King of Spades: King David The King of Diamonds: Julius Caesar The King of Clubs: Alexander the Great The Queen of Hearts: Judith The Queen of Diamonds: Rachel The Queen of Clubs: Argine The Queen of Spades: Pallas The Knave of Diamonds: Hector The Knave of Hearts: La Hire The Knave of Clubs: Lancelot or Judas Maccabeus The Knave of Spades: Holger Danske.
Of course, there are many interpretations of who is really supposed to be on the faces of the cards, this is just one of many possible lists of possibilities.
In modern days, the playing card is almost always associated with Poker and the Old West. There are many versions of poker, as well. Texas Hold-'em and Five-Card Draw are the most popular.
Poker tournaments are famous for having high stakes, but a huge payout to one winner. Arguably, the most famous of these tournaments are the World Series of Poker and the World Poker Tour, both of which are held in Las Vegas.
Most people play card games exclusively online nowadays, but it is still alive and well and they will most likely be a large part of our culture for centuries to come....

Say I'm brilliant!Mature
Back at the office they waited for the results of the swab test from Donovan.
"I'm picking Julie up tonight, she lands at 8pm".
"Great I'm looking forward to meeting her, your sure she's nothing like you aren't you, because one Cassidy per lifetime is enough for anyone"
"Tony, if you had ten lifetimes you wouldn't get one Cassidy. Not this one anyway"
She smirked at him and spun away out of the office. Tony was reviewing the employee records, when Cassidy returned.
"Hey, I've got something".
"What you got hot shot"
"We have an employee, Robert Lock. Didn't turn in for work today missed his 8am cleaning shift. Very suspicious don't you think? He's worked there for one month. I think this might be our man"
Tony was desperate to contribute to solving the case, as Cassidy was obviously a much better investigator than he was. Tony continued.
"I've got his address, let's go!"
He jumped up and grabbed his coat before Cassidy had even had chance to stir.
"Are you coming to catch the bad guy...or I'm I to go and solve it myself".
With this Cassidy jumped to attention. They left for the address in downtown DC. Beth pulled up across from the address. They got out and walked across the road. As they approached they saw Lock coming back to the house eating a sandwich. When Lock saw them he froze, then he dropped his sandwich. He turned and ran away from them at great speed. Tony lunged forward followed by Cassidy.
"I told you he was our man!"
They raced down the road towards a row of shops and cafés. The pedestrian foot flow had become more dense and suddenly both men were bumping in to and pushing people out of the way. Tony had caught up to Lock and he rugby tackled him in to a fruit and veg store display. Both men went crashing in, fruit and vegetables flew everywhere. Several tomatoes hit an old lady who was leaving the shop splattering her in red. Tony wrestled the man, got on top of him easily, drew back his fist to hit him in the face. Cassidy screamed.
" Tony! NO!"
Tony had already stopped the punch himself. Beneath him was a cowering young man. His hands covered his face Tony could fell him shaking. He grabbed him by the scruff of the collar and jumped up, dragging him up.
"Where's the painting"
Tony ragged him. There was no reply, tears started to develop in the young mans eyes.
"Come on! Where is it?"
The old lady covered in tomatoes walked forward and started hitting Tony with her handbag.
"You leave this poor boy alone, you big bully".
She hit him again. Cassidy jumped in. She turned to Tony.
"Go! Go now"
She pushed him away. She turned to the Lock.
"Hi, do you know anything about the missing picture?"
The boy did not reply then he started signing to her.
"Oh your deaf"
She immediately started signing back to him and started a conversation. Tony walked back to see her with the man. He dipped his head and raised his hand to the old lady. Tony stood watching her sign with the young man who was now much calmer. Eventually Cassidy came over to Tony.
"It's not him"
"Are you sure?". Tony was desperate to salvage something from the situation.
"Yeah. He's just a kid. Turned up to work, cops everywhere. He just though they'd think it was him because he's different"
"Well then, I've made a right bloody pigs ear of this".
They walked back to the car.
"Who's got a pigs ear?"
"Don't worry about the pigs ear, I'll cook you one someday"
"What! You eat pigs ears in England, seriously"
"Hey I didn't know you could sign?"
"There's a lot you don't know about me" She paused. "Hey I'll teach you something"
She turned to Tony. She put two fingers on her chin then moved her hand in a downward arc.
"This means hello". Tony smiled.
Back at the office Wright was not a happy man.
"Do you realise I've had to go out and personally apologies on behave of the entire FBI, to an old lady who looked like a gunshot victim. I had to take her coat the cleaners myself, MYSELF GOD DAMN IT! Not to mention the compensation to the store. Jesus Christ Slater, I ought to put you on a plane back to England myself. Cassidy interrupted.
"If I might speak on Slaters behave..." Wright cut her off.
"YOU might not speak, Special Agent Councel, don't think your not in just as much hot water as he is. GOD DAMN IT, I should put you both on a plane".
He paced up and down.
"Get out! Find that painting!"
They both stood frozen.
They shuffled out. Cassidy shrugged her shoulders at Tony. Then spoke.
"I'm going to see if Donovan came up with anything"
"I'm going to hang myself"
"Don't worry he'll come round, he always does"
Tony sloped off to the office. Cassidy arrived back in to the office with a file and a smile.
"Go on say it!"
Tony frowned.
"Say what?"
"Say I'm brilliant Tony"
He frowned.
"I'm brilliant"
She punched his arm.
"That didn't hurt, now say it"
"Say it or your not seeing this 'FBI eyes only' file". She waved the file at him.
"Okay you're brilliant and gorgeous"
She blushed a little.
"I didn't say gorgeous"
"Sorry... I was thinking about someone else"
She looked a little disheartened by his comment.
"Can I see the file now please"
"No need, just wanted you to say it. It's got the address of our burglar, the DNA swab came back positive. We have a match, an address and previous form"
"Right then let's pay him a visit"
As they walked out of the office, Tony smiled at her and spoke.
"You are fairly brilliant" he nudged her "and a bit gorgeous".
She smiled. They went down for Beth.
"Only a bit though"

I often work as a substitute science teacher in elementary schools; I showed a fourth grade class this latest (great) photo of English Mtn just a few moments ago; one little lad said it looked like the Loch Ness monster ! I agree that it's difficult how someone could say anything negative or foul about this site or the lodge; by the way, about ten of my fourth graders want to come up for a stay at the lodge !!

Am going to write my blog coz I think Brownie wrote stuffs about me, I think he's exaggerating! I didn't threw the water, he was the one. And am not afraid of the ghost. Not me! Am brave! I guess…. Well because I heard dadi that he'll bring us this weekend to see the doctor. I think doctors are cruel coz they inject something on my fellow fur friends and they really shriek and said that it really hurts. So I think I won't like the doctor. But am looking forward to go out of the yard and play with other furry friends. Mami said were still young, what? Am already a grown – up, I'm 7 months already. Who said am young?

I realise it's the same date, BUT, who cares?
Tired. Cold. Harry Potter. That is what my day consists of. The idea of actually starting my drama essay seems to have failed terribly, and I'm just sat on my bed, being cold and watching Harry Potter. No no, not the film, the making of the film. That's right, I know what you're thinking ;) I know how to party!
Hopefully within the next few hours I will get myself in gear and do this essay! Or maybe I'll just sit here and watch Harry Potter ;)
Later! x

Rovers' unbeaten run came to a juddering halt as they crashed to a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Stoke City.After two wins and a draw in their last three, Rovers conceded sloppy goals at the beginning of the half through Danny Higginbotham and at the end of the opening 45 by Mamady Sidibe.Any chance of a Rovers revival was ended when Chris Samba saw red for two bookable offences on the hour, Matthew Etherington taking advantage with Stoke's third.It was a game in which neither side showed any quality, the whistle happy Steve Bennett playing too much of an influential role at times.The defeat for Rovers sees them slip to 12th in the table as Stoke go above them.Ahead of the game, manager Sam Allardyce made just the one change from the side that picked up a useful point away at West Ham seven days earlier.The change came on the right with El-Hadji Diouf dropping to the bench, Franco Di Santo slotting in his place.
But the side that looked so defensively resolute at Upton Park found themselves a goal down after just nine minutes. A corner kick from Liam Lawrence on the left was headed out by Martin Olsson, but Danny Higginbotham had too much time and comfort to lash the ball from inside the area through the crowded six yard box and into the corner of the net.
In what was a very scrappy stop-start half, Rovers should have levelled on twenty minutes. Good play by Niko Kalinić saw him turn on the edge of the box to find Givet who in turn fed Pedersen on the left. The Norwegian sent over an inviting cross that Franco Di Santo met perfectly with his head, but the ball went a yard over the crossbar.
The young Argentine, making his first start for a month, really should have equalised.
Chris Samba looked to have been pulled over in the area by Ryan Shawcross as Pedersen threw in a throw, but Steve Bennett waved away the claims from the giant defender.
Samba's tussles with Shawcross became one of the key points in the first half, both players eventually going into the book for their repeated clashes.
Then during a spell of no less than six consecutive corner kicks from Morten Gamst Pedersen Rovers came desperately close to getting back on level terms.
One of the corner kicks saw Samba head goalwards but Dean Whitehead cleared off the line, possibly with an arm, as Rovers started to turn the screw.
But as the game entered three additional minutes at the end of the first half it was the home side who grabbed the vital second goal.
A Rory Delap throw had to be hacked away after Paul Robinson had been blocked, then as the ball was then sent back in Mamady Sidibe arrived at the back post to bundle the ball into the back of the net to double the home side's lead, Gael Givet appealed for the offside, but it was in vain.
It had been an awful first half to watch, very little flow to the game with the whistle happy referee Steve Bennett playing too big a part in proceedings.
Ten minutes after the restart Paul Robinson was called upon to make a vital save, instinctively diving to his left to save one-handed as Shawcross powered a header from an Etherington corner towards goal.
That first half tussle between Shawcross and Samba would then come back to haunt the Rovers defender as he foolishly pulled Ricardo Fuller back as the Stoke attacker looked to break. Steve Bennett wasted little time in showing Samba a yellow, followed by the inevitable red.
That saw Rovers reshuffle. Givet moving alongside Nelsen and Olsson to left back. Franco Di Santo, who had missed Rovers' best chance, making way for Keith Andrews.
Moments after Rovers went down to ten men they very nearly conceded a third. From an Etherington corner kick Danny Higginbotham headed goalwards but Olsson was in the right place to head off the line.
Moments later it was Paul Robinson's turn to clear off the line as Fuller headed from an Etherington corner, the Rovers number one diving well to save.
After those two close calls the creaky Rovers defence eventually gave way on 67 minutes. Matthew Etherington cutting in from the left, to play a one-two with Lawrence and the former West Ham winger steered the ball left-footed past Robinson and into the corner of the net.
With the game won, Stoke were happy to retreat and defend what they had, taking full advantage of the extra man to deny Rovers any meaningful chances.
It was a frustrating afternoon for Rovers, they rarely got their attacking game going and unlike Stoke, when the chances did come their way, they failed to take them.
Next up is Hull City on Wednesday night at Ewood Park.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
One shouldn't make assumptions from observations while you "pass through" cattle country. Cattle will gleefully graze on corn if allowed to. However, they will tromp down a great deal of a very expensive crop to plant in the process. This is why we harvest the crop and feed it to them rather than let them do it themselves.DieselkW said:I'm on the Costco supply chain, grain finished - but that is NOT my preference, just my convenience and inherent scrooge-ness.
I'm self employed, so my "wealth" runs in cycles of enduring poverty to occasional riches.
When I have a few extra thousand in the bank and feeling secure in our future, I buy grass fed, grass finished, never frozen local beef and bison.
If you've spent any time in cattle country (I pass through) bovines of all variety are ABSOLUTELY NOT grazing in the corn fields. Given a choice between grass and corn, they choose grass. A cow will not eat corn by choice. Sure, mix it with molasses and oats and whatever other cheap government subsidized "stuff" they can throw on the ground they will eat and gain crucial and valuable weight in the weeks before sale to the slaughter house... yeah it marbles that muscle with fat... but you're paying meat prices by the pound for extra fat.
That's like spraying vegetables with water, then charging by the pound for wet broccoli.
Bovines eating too much grain will get sick and (even more) gassy. Of course I eat grain finished beef, but I prefer the natural kind.
It's not like I'm going to switch to tofu if I can't afford it.
