All Hail the Wale: Corduroy Enthusiasts Dress to Impress for 11/11/11
This Friday is all about the 11s. The date — 11/11/11 — bears special significance for gamblers, newlyweds, math nerds, and of course, our troops. But the palindrome has also found a major following among fans of corduroy.
The fabric's devotees have been celebrating since Nov. 1 due to that date's resemblance — 1/1/11 — to corduroy. Foods that look like the wales in the fabric -- celery and Ruffles potato chips — have been eaten with gusto by members of the secret social Corduroy Appreciation Club while red velvet cake (due to its reference to velvet) has been shunned. The so-called 11|11|11 celebration culminates Friday night with a Best Wearer of Corduroy competition, performances in praise of the waled fabric and the hushed presentation of a "Messiah Child" who will turn 11 years old on 11/11/11.
To get into the festivities at the Desmond Tutu Conference Center, which the Corduroy Appreciation Club reports to be sold out, attendees must sport at least three pieces of the fabric.
"I'm going to be wearing a silver corduroy suit with a houndstooth vest, a blue-and-green bow tie, a corduroy pocket square, corduroy cuff links, corduroy boutonniere," said Queens artist Jean Barberis, 33, who joined the Corduroy Appreciation Club in 2007. "And what I'm most excited about is my shoes, which I made, which are going to be two-toned yellow leather and blue corduroy."
Corduroy suspenders, Barberis added, would bring the number of articles of corduroy he'll be wearing to — you guessed it — 11. He also plans to give away 50 homemade corduroy tote bags on Friday night.
Stacey Whitmire, a 37-year-old hair stylist, actress and performer who lives in Brooklyn, will be wearing medium-waled rust colored corduroy bell-bottoms from the '70s, a pair of royal purple culottes that she made into an over-the-shoulder shrug and a corduroy headband.
"It's sort of a dapper fabric," she said. "But I think you're a little quirky if you wear a lot of corduroy — especially with a wide wale."
Whitmire said leading up to 11|11|11, she'd been tweeting platitudes about cords like "Nothing comes between me and my corduroy," "How wide is your wale" and "You're always on my mind, Corduroy."
Other events organized by the Corduroy Appreciation Club this month, which was founded in 2005 by Miles Rohan, included a corduroy crafting circle and a charity corduroy clothing drive. Kurt Schlachter, the club's brewer in residence, also brewed two special beers for the month's events, which resemble corduroy when they stand side by side.
"They are both made of 25 percent rye malt and so they are a quarter rye, each of them," he said.

Schlachter, who has been a member of the club for four years, said although there was general agreement among corduroy lovers that cords were comfortable and utilitarian, it wasn't clear where or when corduroy was first worn.
"There's a myth that we at the club don't subscribe to that it has French origins, translating to 'the king's cloth,'" he said. "We think that's rubbish. Some folks think somewhere in Scotland. I like to think that it probably dates back to the Fertile Crescent, along with beer."
He'll be wearing a handmade corduroy suit, corduroy shoes, a corduroy tie, corduroy pocket square and a corduroy boutonniere to Friday's event.
"Unfortunately my corduroy unmentionables probably are going to stay at home for later," Schlachter said, adding that people who couldn't attend could still hail the wale by hanging out near items that resembled corduroy like crosswalks, accordions and harps.
Artist, curator and art administrator Michelle Levy, 35, will be attending Friday's event in a black corduroy suit and corduroy knickers. She said she thought that while a wide-range of people dug corduroy, the fabric's biggest devotees were children of the 1970s.
"My theory is that it's a generational thing," Levy said. "There are people of all ages that love corduroy but people who especially grew up in the '70s have a particular nostalgia for it and there's something comforting about it."
11|11|11 celebrations will also take place in Washington, D.C., Chicago, San Francisco, Portland, Oregon and Fromberg, Montana.

MMO players will love the PlayStation 4. Earlier today Sony announced that Planetside 2 will be coming to the PlayStation 4, and later, developer Digital Extremes confirmed that its upcoming MMO Warframe will be a PlayStation 4 launch title this Fall.
Now Sony has confirmed that DC Universe Online, the MMORPG that's available on the PC and PS3, will be coming to the PlayStation 4 as well. The game was originally released back in 2011, and has established a large player base.
And while PC and PS3 users have had to pay $15 a month to play DC Universe Online, the PlayStation 4 version, just like Planetside 2 and Warframe, will be free to play. Even better, players who have already played the game on PC and PS3 will be able to transfer their characters to the PlayStation 4.

Lil Wayne Is Bored with Rapping
August 4, 2012 | Posted by
NME reports that Lil Wayne wants to put his rapping career on hold while he focuses on skateboarding instead.
He told Atlanta radio station Hot 107.9, "Being me, I always feel like I ain't done nothing yet, so I'm always looking for the next thing to do. It does get pretty boring when it comes to just the rapping and all that type of stuff. I've been doing it since I was eight and I'm about to be 30 in September."
He also said that he didn't want his fans to become tired of his music. "I think I deserve that. I think fans deserve a little-to-no Wayne. I've been everywhere. I've been out on everybody's song. My artists are doing awesome; I believe the fans deserve some peace from me, so I'll be on my skateboard in the meantime."

Rihanna: Gearing Up for SNL Gig
She's the musical guest on "Saturday Night Live" this weekend, and Rihanna was spotted at NBC Studios in New York City earlier today (May 3).
The "Russian Roulette" songstress looked a bit cranky in a black jacket, red ball cap, and skinny jeans as she made her exit from a rehearsal.
And it sounds like Rihanna is also participating in a few of the show's skits alongside guest host Eli Manning.
Lorne Michaels told press, "Yes, are hoping so. We'll know [soon]. I wish I could report on everything that's been written [and] if this were tomorrow, I could. I know that there are a lot of things in the works, but I don't frankly know how they turned out. And I think it's our intention."
Enjoy the pictures of Rihanna seen leaving NBC Studios after practice for her live appearance on 'Saturday Night Live' (May 3).

U.S. soccer coach writes note for your boss to get out of work
Players will line up on the field for the crucial U.S.-Germany match on Thursday morning.

Ambiance: Mirrored walls make the already spacious bar and restaurant seem even larger. Patrons take breaks from their conversations to keep tabs on the baseball and football games playing on big-screen televisions on the wall. Not far from the bar is a casino area, where mostly white-haired locals try their luck at Keno and video poker machines.
Who you're drinking with: Among the people at the gaming machines and those enjoying lunch in the Silvertip Restaurant is 84-year-old Gene Shuler. He's sipping a brandy and soda at the bar. "I'm an educated drinker," says Shuler, who attributes his ongoing virility to his beverage of choice while flexing his biceps. "I'm feeling pretty gosh-darned good."
The Silvertip is a 24-hour, seven-day-a-week establishment and, as such, draws a smattering of college students on the weekends. But the casino's typical clientele, at least during our visits, more often looks like Shuler.
What you're eating: Tasty American cuisine, but you probably already knew that from the restaurant's ad campaign featuring "The Silvertip Food Guy," who strikes a suspicious resemblance to a certain celebrity chef. The Silvertip serves pork chops, steak, prawns and chicken. It also offers a full breakfast menu featuring eggs Benedict, corned beef hash and "the Big Boy," which is chicken-fried steak served with gravy, hash browns and toast for $7.95. Keep an eye out for lunch and dinner specials.
What you're doing: In addition to playing a host of gaming machines, you're scrutinizing your opponents during nightly live poker games.
What you're drinking: The Silvertip offers screaming Happy Hour specials. Weekday afternoons between 4 and 6, well drinks run $1.50, domestic drafts are $1.75 and microbrews set you back just $2.50.
How to find it: 680 SW Higgins Ave., at the corner of Bancroft.
Happiest Hour celebrates western Montana watering holes. To recommend a bar, bartender or beverage for Happiest Hour, email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Some of you may know that I have relatives along the Texas-mexico border. After receiving another phone call from my BIL telling me how bad it is just in the ElPaso area I decided to read the El Paso times newspaper on line. Boys, something needs to be done and done quickly.This has gotten completely out of control and it appears to be getting worse daily.
El Paso is a major city right on the border and when U.S. citizens are afraid to travel in their own city something is bad wrong.
So if you want to get your heart rate up may I suggest a little reading of the El Paso Times.

text: I just purchased a "Tuck This" for my PPK and though I haven't worn it yet throughout an entire outing, I am not a fan. The tuckable clip is what I can only describe as "funky". It attaches at the rear of the holster which creates a fulcrum while wearing the holster. The entire holster kept wanting to swivel while I was wearing it pushing the firearm further and further below my belt line. Also, I think the folks on the Hight Noon site make some valid arguments against the J-Hook attachment. Had I seen the High Noon holsters before ordering the DeSantis, I'd have gone for the High Noon.

Miller Co. deputy remains hospitalized after cardiac arrest
22-year-old Miller County Sheriff's Deputy Tom McClelland collapsed while on duty Friday.
MILLER CO, Mo. - Miller County Sheriff's Deputy Tom McClelland was serving a search warrant in Eldon Friday when he collapsed to the ground.
Deputies with the 22-year-old McClelland immediately started CPR when they discovered that he was not breathing and had no pulse.
McClelland was taken to Lake Regional Hospital where he was stabilized then transported
to Mercy Hospital in Springfield.
According to a Facebook page set up in his honor, McClelland suffered unknown medical emergency
and went into cardiac arrest.
The most recent post on that Facebook page said more tests were done Monday to try to determine a cause for his collapse, and that his heart was functioning at 20%.
McClelland was still listed in critical condition at Mercy Hospital Monday afternoon.
He is a graduate of Eldon High School.
Family and friends started a Go Fund Me page to support Deputy McClelland, and "Prayers for Deputy Tom McClelland" on Facebook.

Retirement is not a nice thought. Okay, maybe other people may think that not working again is a good thing, but you know different. Retirement means you have to keep occupied and entertained, and it also means you have to keep financially stable. Once you retire, there is no way of earning money, apart from your pension.
Some people have more wealth than others, and they don't have to worry about the prospect of retiring. You, on the other hand, may not be as lucky. If you think you might struggle financially, you need to take a look at the tips below.
Turn Savings Into Income
The best piece of retirement advice is to have a steady flow of income coming into your bank account on a regular basis. Then, you don't have to worry about having to budget your money for the long haul because you can live your life like normal. So, how do you turn savings into income? Start by getting your private pension paid into your account at the start of every month instead of being paid in one lump sum. Also, if you have investments in property, rent it out so that the rent acts like a monthly wage.
Apply For Grants
The government will not advertise it, but there are grants for people who hit retirement age and you may be eligible. To find out, you need to go on the Internet and do a bit of research. For example, if you cannot afford to pay your energy bills, the government will subsidize them for you so that you don't freeze during the winter. They do it for a whole range of situations, which is why you should check them out as soon as possible.
Pay Off Any Existing Debts
Unfortunately, debts do not disappear once you retire – they stay with you until you pay them off or die. And no, that is not an over exaggeration. Obviously, without a solid income, it is going to be very hard to pay off the debts once you finish your job. The only option, then, is to pay off your debts before you retire. The last thing you want for the bank to take your home or personal possessions as collateral because you couldn't keep up with the repayments.
Make A Budget
Money is going to be tight, and you cannot afford to splash the cash like you could in a previous life. In retirement, you have to be more frugal with your expenses. Luckily, there is an easy way to budget your cash – make a financial plan. A weekly or monthly plan accounts for all your money and all of your expenditures, so there should be no surprises in the future.
Invest Before It Is Too Late

History for travel
For many of us travel is usually for pleasure, so that we are unlikely to associate travel with hard labor or torture. However, the ultimate source of travel is a spoken Latin verb trepaliare, "to torture," derived from trepalium, a name for an instrument of torture. Trepaliare developed into medieval French travailler, which meant "to torture or torment," as well as "to suffer or labor." Middle English borrowed the French verb as travailen with the same sense. But the difficulties of getting from place to place in the Middle Ages, when any journey was an exhausting effort, led medieval speakers of English to apply travailen to making a trip. We still use the word, though travel is now much easier.

What would you compare the recoil to? I really want to get one, but I am not sure.
I shot my S&W 442 yesterday and was pleasantly surprised at how well it and I did. I was unsure of using +ps, but I must admit, it handled them well. Of course, I was shooting from 10 yards down to 5 yards. The 1 and 7/8 inch barrel is not great at a distance, but it's not meant to be. For a little guy, the 442 is really sturdy.
What would you compare the recoil to? I really want to get one, but I am not sure.
That's a tough question. Everyone handles recoil differently. I'm a big guy with large hands and the recoil for me was minimal. I'd say my keltec p3at had more recoil issues. That was one reason for the 442 and selling the keltec. I think anyone could handle it with practice. Remember, however, you are only accurate within a short distance. They are called belly guns for that reason. S&W makes a sturdy revolver and that really helps.

Definitely helped my indigestion and heartburn
Who would have thought that indigestion and heartburn is also caused by low stomach acid. All of those years of force feeding myself because I tried to gain weight, has weakened my stomach. My digestion is so much better now. I simply take one before each meal. If it has a lot of protein, then I take two. No burning feeling at all, it's actually the opposite. Great value for such quality. It's so much more expensive in the store for less quantity. Order was extremely fast. I highly recommended it.

Best Digestive Support I've Found in 20 Years!
Posted by mirindalikethedrink on Sep 23, 2016 | Verified Purchase
I've needed to take an acid supplement for low stomach acid since I was a teen. In the past I used a different supplement that gave me stomach discomfort. Country Life, Betaine Hydrochloride with Pepsin works well for me. I actually have to take double the normal dosage but was able to tailor my dosage to meet my needs. One of the best products out there, in my opinion.

I'm gonna be a bit blunt, and say you need to slow down.
You're making great progress, but you're sacrificing a lot of the detail that turns a costume from good to great. The shoulder bells particularly are what stopped me.
Plastidip won't hide imperfections. You need to sort those out before you dip them, and definitely before you paint them.
You really need to work on your seams and smooth and fill any imperfections. From what I can see, it really looks like you didn't bother to do any smoothing aside from the initial cutting of the EVA. You didn't even bother going over it again with a sharp knife to smooth out the cuts, let alone sand it down with a high (fine) grit sandpaper?
You really are doing great work, but I don't think you're putting as much patience into it as you should. You're making a costume that could definitely be A-grade if you slowed down and learnt some easy techniques to produce a smoother finish. If you don't know how to go about it, jump over to the props and armour section and post up there. I could name a half dozen users on here who could be priceless help to you.

Iaconelli and Dustin Wilks just traded spots and each caught a nice keeper. Iaconelli has resorted to a flat-sided crankbait while Wilks has his Power-Poles down and is working the spot Ike just came from.
The sun has come out and is warming things up nicely, and also seems to be positioning the fish tighter to the many stumps in the area.
Randy Howell must have wore out his small primary spot as he's working toward the mouth of McDade.
Iaconelli just explained the Classic in a nutshell.
"You fish this tournament to win it, not do well. I'm not there yet. I've only got one of the right kind of fish. I think I'll stay here a few more minutes then make a move."

Iran is working on producing an atomic bomb even as Western nations enforce one sanction after another. Israel is raising fears of an attack upon Iran in order to wipe out its nuclear facilities. On the left is fear of an air attack, on the right is the prospect of destroying Iran's economy through economic pressure. So,what is a nation to do? General Mohammed Ali Jaffari, commander of the Revolutionary Guard has decided to find a way that will prevent any assault on his homeland.
His Revolutionary Guards, the Passadran, are being prepared to launch an environmental catastrophe which would contaminate the Straits of Hormusz despite the fact his nation uses this waterway in order to export oil. "Murky Waters" is the name of this lunacy and, although it makes scant sense, Jafari is more consumed by ideology than common sense.
We inhabit a world in which the lunatics are in charge of the asylum!

So... after charging all night (and part of the morning, as I forgot to take it off, and had the wife take it off) I get home and couldnt find my meter (just moved into house, and had to move toolbox out of the way to get truck in garage).
So I opened the door and dome light turned on. closed it and it turned off. good start. theft light flashing "normally". So I turned key on, and radio came on and wipers. cool. Started it. all still working.
then I put it in drive. GUESS WHAT!? The radio and dome light and wipers stayed on!!! HOLY CRAP!?
So, I pulled off wiper cowl and saw a bunch of white household grade sealant that was cracked and seperated from steal and window. Hummm...
So, the only thing not working at this point that worked a few weeks ago was the blower motor. that doesnt turn on at all right now.
other than that everything works!
So is it that the GEM is drying up more and more or a good charge helped it? not sure still... LOL. still will pull gem and fuse panel apart and check for corosion and clean them up and put some dielectric grease and then get wind sheild replaced professionally!

Hi all,
I was reading up on mange because my puppy started losing fur around her eye. I was told that 1% ivomec solution could clear it up. I was told by the vet that it's considered "localized" and would probably go away on it's own but I can't just do nothing so I want to do some sort of treatment.
He wanted to charge about $500 for mitaban dips but I just don't want to pay that much if I don't have to.
While reading I found out about ivomec, my vet wont tell me anything about it. He is one of those try to make every last dollar sort of vets (Banfield) but im stuck there for at least a year because I did one of their pet plans for regular vaccines.
Anyhow, I'm looking for a new vet so don't worry! I'm not going to stick with Banfield.
Anyway, I bought this exact stuff:
I got it at a feed store for about $40. Now, i've never used it but i'm doing my research. I would love to be able to use this for heartworm prevention as well as clearing up this mange. Does anyone else use it? Would anyone be able to give me some tips on typical dosage, etc...
Also can the injection formula be given orally or does it have to be injected? I've read mixed things on this. Thanks!
Oh also my puppy isn't a hearding breed if that's any concern.

I know, I know.......enough of the scratchbuilt antics from me.
Well, this time I mean it when I say this is my last scratchbuilt.
This is the same helm I started with WOF's templates and there are
a few MS parts on here (keyslots, RF, stalk, and MQ1 board), I
was thrilled when they matched up! The colors are Rougue's Except
for the red and the tan on the back of the bucket. I used a Rustoleum
Redwood toned down with brown pastel for the Mands, and Rustoleum
taupe for the damage on the back. I hope to hollow the RF and put some
electronics in it someday, but for now this will do so I can finally move
on to other parts of the project.
Got a bunch of paint sitting here waiting for a certain New Englander to
let me roll on to his bucket.
Thanks for looking.

I'll be back to blogging about Silicon Valley, entrepreneurial finance, and corporate law in my next posts, but a recent entry over at The Faculty Lounge posed an interesting question that many of us might be thinking about during the law review submission season: How much information should authors give editors when seeking an expedited review? The prior post (and the interesting comments it generated) focused on whether authors should update an expedite request when new offers come in, even if it doesn't change the deadline. I want to pose a different question: Do editors like it when authors tell them that so-and-so journal has selected the author's piece for final review (which the journals usually let you know) and therefore an expedite request might be coming their way?
Speaking from personal experience, in the past I've encountered this situation twice, and both times the journals taking my piece to final review were in the top 20 (I mention this because it might make a difference in how the editors answer). I thought that letting the higher-ups know might attract some attention to my work (after all, the goal is getting pulled from the pile and read, right?), but also worried that these journals might not care if it wasn't yet an offer – and worse yet, what if it didn't become one? So the question boils down to: Does making it to final review stage with one (well-respected) journal generate sufficient buzz that it's worth the risk of annoyance and no offer coming through? Also, how does the journal taking your piece to final review feel about this practice – if it finds out, would this potentially nix an offer? Wouldn't want that. Editors: any advice would be appreciated!
UPDATE: In thinking through this some more after I posted, I realized that one reason to alert higher-ups at the final review stage rather than wait for the offer is precisely because an offer might not come. You still get what an expedite request provides (the higher-ups reading your piece) even if the original journal ultimately rejects you. All of which is evidence that this process will make you crazy if you let it, and a much better course of action is to submit and move on to new projects!

Wow! Fantastic recipes. All so yummy. Angela Redfern has thought of everything. She thought of everything eg how to cook the basics - Qunoa, israeli couscous etc, conversion charts, useful tips. The recipes are easy to follow and she doesn't assume you already know what to do - Highly recommend.
Customer review on 31/03/2012
This is the "must have cook book for NZ cooks". I absolutely love it and have bought numerous copies for friends as gifts. The recipies come out exactly as pictured. It is fool proof and the salads especially are magnificent. I would recommend to everyone.

i absolutely love this cookbook. Already i have made about ten things from it and they have all worked out and tasted fantastic. Our family is gluten free and when i made one of the cakes i just changed the flour and you wouldnt have even known. A few of the recipes used pommegranate molasses and i sourced some over the internet and im so pleased i did because it has an amazing flavour. I own alot of cookbooks but id have to say this one is top of my list.
Customer review on 29/06/2011
I've just received this cookbook and it looks absolutely fabulous! On almost every page there are large colourful pictures of how the finished dish/baking/preserve would look. The recipes make use of ingredients that would either be in your pantry or easily available at your local shops. This book is broken up into seasonal sections (e.g. February/March) to make the most of seasonal products that are available at that time, however, many of the recipes are based on ingredients that are available throughout the year. This book would make a beautiful gift for someone (or yourself). I think it is a bargain for the price and highly recommend it.

SanDisk has just added a fast read/write memory card to its Memory Stick product line, the Extreme III Memory Stick PRO-HG-Duo. How fast? If 30mbps read and write capability ain't fast enough for you, better wake up, cause this is the fastest that a memory card could possibly read so far.
Slated for launch during the PMA Australia Imaging Technology Show which runs from May 30 to June 1, this new memory card will come in 4GB and 8GB storage capacities. Suffice to say that this card would be of great use for photography purposes. Be reminded that Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo is the direct off-shot of the Memory Stick PRO format memory card and was developed by both Sony and SanDisk to answer the needs of PRO-HG capable Sony cameras.
The 4GB and 8GB memory card will start hitting the market worldwide sometime in June for $89.99 and $149.99 respectively.

WoW World of Warcraft Draenei
Draenei, the exiled ones, originated on the world of Argus where they were known in a lesser form as the Eredar. Sargeras, the Destroyer of Worlds, noticed the grace, intelligence, and potency of eredar magic. Sargeras made an offer of the Eredar to amplify their strength, magic, and knowledge in exchange for their services as commanders of the Burning Legion.The offer fractured the race. Those who accepted Sargerass offer became demons, tremendous and vile.
A benevolent race of light, the naaru, offered the remainder of the Eredar safe haven. They fled their evil brethren taking up the name Draenei. They learned the magic and gained knowledge from the Naaru and eventually settled on a planet, Draenor. Eventually, the persistent burning legion, found their home. Kiljaeden corrupted the native Orcs, unleashing them upon the Draenor as the vile Horde, destroying most of their race.
A new race to Burning Crusade, the Draenei make their home in the Azuremyst Isle, northeast of Kalimdor where their dimensional ship crashed.
Draenei can play as Warriors, Paladins, Hunters, Priest, Shaman, and Mages.

Wood basement wall below grade - what to do?
1 Attachment(s)
We just purchased a house and are in the process of finishing off the basement and have a problem with one section of the house. The house has a walk out basement with a block wall, with half of the basement wall being wood. One section of the house where the wood wall is happens to be underground and get's wet when it rains. Unfortunately this area is under the front door where a deck is so it is not accessible. There were a couple other areas on this house where the corners of the wood wall was underground and we were able to dig them up, fix the grading, and replace the rotted wood. I attached a picture that might explain things better.
So.. is there anything that can be done to prevent this section of underground untreated wood from rotting - and keep the moisture out without tearing up the deck? We cannot get to this area from the outside because of this enclosed deck / porch area.
Any advice would br greatly appreciated!
There is no magic bullet to solve this type of problem. Wood framed walls below grade are a no-no for a multitude of reasons. Water rots the wood and rusts the fasteners. Even pressure treated lumber rots, only less quickly. Termites travel underground and eat the wood. Mold and mildew eat the wood and cause odors. Damp wood looses its shape and its ability to carry vertical or horizontal loads. It's a never ending maintenance problem.
You can spend a lot of money trying to damp-proof the outside of the wall, but that ground water is there 24/7/52 and only needs the tiniest hole to penetrate. Once inside it's guaranteed to do damage before you get around to re-repairing it.
You probably don't want to hear this, but your best solution is to excavate outside and replace the below-grade portion of the wall with damp-proofed masonry. Based on your sketch, you may need to remove-and-replace part of the porch in the process.

The Cardinals scored two runs in the ninth inning to break a tie. Earlier, they had pulled off bizarre double plays in back-to-back innings. They overcame an astonishing three errors by Gold Glove first baseman Albert Pujols. The net result was a 6-4 triumph over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday night.
The win enabled the Cardinals to hold their position 4 1/2 games behind the National League wild card leaders, the Atlanta Braves.
But the Cardinals still lost.
Left fielder Matt Holliday had to yield his final at-bat in the ninth inning, having sprained the
underside of his right hand swinging the bat in the on-deck circle. Holliday was
to return to
With just two weeks left in the season, the likelihood of him playing much the rest of the way seems slim.
"I'm concerned. I've never done anything like this before," Holliday said.
"We'll see what happens (Wednesday). You hope it's just a bruise or something and maybe it'll be a couple days or a day."
But a worried teammate said, "It's not good."
It's been a very strange year, indeed, for Holliday, who is hitting .295 with 22 homers and 74 runs batted in.
Holliday already has undergone surgery for an appendix condition after the first game of the season, injured his side when he was reaching for a weight in the weight room and had a quadriceps injury, and he even had to leave a game when a moth flew into his ear.
1B Albert Pujols had committed two errors in a game four times at first base and three times at third base before making three at first base on Tuesday, including two on one play. "There's a first time for everything," said Pujols. "It's crazy. All you can do is laugh."
RHP Kyle McClellan, who gained his fifth win out of 11 from the bullpen—he had started much of the season - threw just one pitch in the eighth inning to get the victory. "That's not what we're there for. We're there to hold the lead," said McClellan.
LF Matt Holliday determined that Pittsburgh SS Pedro Ciriaco had left third base too soon as he tried to score on Pirates 1B Derrek Lee's flyball in the fifth. The Cardinals appealed at third and got the out call although television replays indicated that Ciriaco had not left early.
3B Nick Punto delivered his second game-winning RBI in the last four Cardinals wins with a run-scoring double in the ninth. Punto has been ravaged by injuries this season and has spent three tours on the disabled list. "That's one of the real negatives of the season - that he's missed so much time," said manager Tony La Russa. "He's proved that he could have been a difference-maker."
RHP Chris Carpenter got a two-year, $21 million extension in the afternoon, a two-run single in the second (doubling his RBI total) but a no-decision. Carpenter gave up a two-run, game-tying homer to Pittsburgh CF Andrew McCutchen in the seventh inning.
RHP Jason Motte recorded his sixth save in six tries since taking over as the closer. He had to pitch around two leadoff singles in the ninth, with C Yadier Molina making a bold play to force a runner at third after fielding a bunt.
BY THE NUMBERS: 93 - RBI for 1B Albert Pujols, who is shooting for his 11th straight season of at least 100.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "It's about being a St. Louis Cardinal for the rest of my career."
- RHP Chris Carpenter, on why he agreed to a two-year extension for a total of $21 million rather than elect to go to free agency. The Cardinals would not have picked up Carpenter's $15 million option for 2012 but instead rolled it into his new deal.
LF Matt Holliday
(sprained right hand) was injured while he was in the on-deck circle Sept. 13
and had to leave the game. He was scheduled to go back to
RHP Lance
RHP Eduardo Sanchez (mild right shoulder strain) went on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to June 13 and was activated on September 13.
RHP Adam Wainwright (Tommy John surgery in February 2011) went on the 60-day disabled list March 25. He will miss the entire 2011 season. Wainwright was getting closer to throwing a full-strength bullpen session in September, but he will not be allowed to throw his signature curveball until next year.

Find the fourier series of
F(x) = 1, -L<=x<0
f(x+2L) = f(x)
You can take the functions:
e_n(x) = exp(i pi n x/L)
to be your the basis functions. If you define the inner product as:
<f,g> = 1/(2 L) Integral from -L to L
of f(x)g*(x) dx
Then the e_n are orthonormal. So, you can expand a function f(x) as:
f(x) = sum over n of <f,e_n> e_n(x)
The coefficient of e_n is thus the integral from -L to 0 of
exp(-pi i n x/L) dx
If n is not equal to zero, this is:
-1/(2 pi i n) [1 - (-1)^n]
So, for nonzero n, only the coefficients for odd n are nonzero. The coefficient for n = 0 is easily found to be 1/2 . If you now combine the contribution from negative and positive n, you find that the Fourier series is given by:
1/2 - 2/pi sum from k = 0 to infinity of
2/(2k+1) Sin[(2k+1)x/L]

Escaping Winter
Spontaneous trips are my favourite, and 10 days before Christmas California was calling my name! I couldn't find anyone able to join me on such short notice so I went down solo and don't regret a second of it. Right before my week-long adventure down south, I had one more exam to write. The sky was full of colour that morning during the drive to school.
Like many people who grew up on Vancouver Island, I hold a bit of a grudge against BC Ferries. As awesome as living on the Island is, traveling by car gets expensive. So I tried giving the Washington state Ferry a chance for the first time. This is a cheaper and more direct route down south from Sidney BC to Anacortes WA. I highly recommend this ferry and it's also a great way to avoid border lines ups!
18 hours later I arrived in Scott's Valley, CA at the Fogelquist residence. Despite the long drive down south I hadn't escaped the rain yet. So Jack Fogelquist and I braved the wet conditions and headed for the Santa Cruz Mountains.
The conditions were foggy, slippery, and very wet. Riding Santa Cruz in the rain is way different than riding on the North Shore in the wet. The high clay content turns the forest floor into a mud pit, it's like surfing on slick muddy singletrack. We kept trail conditions in mind and stuck to a rockier trail called "Crack Shack".
Weather cleared up the next day and it was looking promising throughout the week. All the dirt jump spots were too wet still so we sessioned the Scott's Valley sand step-up.This jump was awesome for getting tricks dialed in.
Day 3 was perfect. We woke up to sunshine and dry conditions.
Santa Cruz local and shredder Ray George invited us to his jumps. These are in such a unique spot! The line consists of a single row of jumps running alongside a river behind some housing development and the dirt was amazing- zero rocks or roots. It was a treat riding here.
Part way through the session Jack noticed a hair line crack in his frame, so he ended up filming us ride instead. Later that night Ray called up Jesse Nickel to fix up Jack's bike. Jesse is the man! He welded up my frame 3 years ago when Justin Wyper, Mitch Chubey, and I went down to Santa Cruz. He's also a local land developer and one of the people responsible for keeping the legendary Post Office jumps alive.
The next couple days consisted of all-time sessions at the Post Office riding with all the local Aptos shredders like R-dog, Cam McCaul, Greg Watts, etc. This quickly got me back in shape on my hardtail.
Once 4pm comes around everyone knows to show up and session for the final hour of daylight. This is when the best sessions go down.
My final day down in Santa Cruz was a rainy one. Jack and I finished up some Christmas shopping and I headed back North early the next morning. The conditions were looking pretty snowy on the I-5 near the California/ Oregon border so I decided to take my time and drive up along the California coast.
My short but awesome time down in Santa Cruz was 100% worth it, I cant wait to visit again!
It's every Canadian dirt jumper's dream to do a pilgrimage to Aptos in the winter. Mark got after it with this quickie between semesters… what'd you get up to over the holidays?
stephenmatthews - Jan. 3, 2013, 8:05 p.m.
Those jumps look wacky! Nice whips!
I've never been to California…it looks awesome though! Road trip time.
myarmisonfire - Jan. 3, 2013, 5:28 p.m.
For an even quicker way south catch the ferry. 2 hours after getting off the ferry you are south of Olympia and you have missed all of the Seattle traffic!

The president of London's biggest students' union today pledged to launch an investigation after a 'blacked-up' party-goer won a fancy dress competition at a union event.
Michael Chessum, president of the University of London Union, spoke out after students complained that a man wearing red devil horns and with a blacked-up face won a bottle of wine for his costume at a Halloween party thrown by the union.
The man, believed to be a student, paraded on stage alongside other students wearing fancy-dress, and was pronounced as the winner after getting the biggest cheer from the crowd.
Mr Chessum said: "What he was wearing was offensive. It is blacking up. There is no defence for blacking up." The union is trying to identify the student as part of the investigation.
Maham Hashni, ULU's black students officer, said: "Going with a face blacked up has racist connotations, there is no other way to put it. His face was black with red lips and his arms were red. It didn't make any sense. For his costume to be complete blacking up was not necessary."
Ms Hashni said the man should not have been allowed into the building for the party on Thursday. She added: "We have a safer space policy. If someone came in a Nazi uniform they would have been stopped.
"If someone came in stark naked they wouldn't have been allowed in. If we have rules and regulations we pass for students because we want our spaces to be self regulated and that is not listened to the whole point of having a union for the students ceases to have any significance.
"People shouldn't be in a space where they feel threatened or upset."
Mr Chessum said students should have more control of the events held on union premises. It comes after the controversial song 'Blurred Lines' by Robin Thicke was played at a ULU club night despite the union banning the song saying it trivialised rape.
Mr Chessum said: "Our main response to this will be trying to bring the commercial arm of ULU more under control of students and officers.
"Often the problem with student unions is that the bars and cafes are not really run by students."

A little more "historical perspective" on the "National Council for a New America"
Blog ››› ››› JAMISON FOSER
The Atlantic's Marc Ambinder offers some "historical perspective" on the GOP's new "National Council for a New America":
AMBINDER: Lou Zickar, the editor of the Ripon Forum, e-mails to note that the National Council for a New America "is very similar to one Haley Barbour pursued in 1993 when, as Chairman of the RNC, he established the National Policy Forum." The NPF, of course, was a fundraising, grassroots and policy idea vehicle, and the ideas developed at 70 forums around the country helped "form the foundation for the Contract with America," which was officially released two months before 1994 midterm elections.
That's a pretty Republican-friendly description of the National Policy Forum. A more complete description would note that Barbour and the RNC essentially used NPF to launder funds from a Hong Kong businessman to the RNC for use in the 1994 elections:
The embarrassing episode dates back to the heat of the 1994 congressional elections, when Barbour sought out financial support from Ambrous Tung Young, a wealthy Hong Kong businessman and Republican Party loyalist.
Barbour arranged a $2.1-million loan guarantee from Young Brothers Development USA, the Florida-based subsidiary of Young's Hong Kong-based real estate and aviation company, to support the National Policy Forum, a GOP think tank created by Barbour in 1993 to promote the Republican philosophy.
The Forum took out a $2.1-million commercial bank loan, guaranteed by certificates of deposit purchased with funds provided to Young Brothers Development by the parent company in Hong Kong. The Forum then immediately sent $1.6 million to an RNC account.
Barbour ran both the policy group and the RNC, a dual role that the Democrats say effectively merged the two organizations into one. The policy group sought tax-exempt status that would allow it to accept foreign funds. The RNC, however, was prohibited by U.S. law from taking foreign donations.
(See also: "Hong Kong Money Returned by G.O.P.")
Barbour claimed not to know that Young couildn't legally contribute to the RNC, a claim even Republican Senator Fred Thompson found hard to believe during the 1997 Senate campaign finance hearings:
HALEY BARBOUR: I thought we were having a guarantor that was an entity that could contribute and was contributing. And I want to be fair to 'em. I think the Young Brothers people thought they could legally contribute too. I think they honestly thought that.
SEN. FRED THOMPSON: But when you're sitting on a boat in the Hong Kong harbor, talking to a gentleman, who's a citizen of Taiwan, I mean, that does raise certain other potential implications in terms of appearances, but it's an appearance business that we're both in, isn't it?
That wasn't the only foreign money Barbour and NPF took:
In March 1997 he appeared on the NBC News program Meet the Press and was asked by moderator Tim Russert: "And yet you will not disclose who gave how much money. Why don't you tell the American people who gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to this National Policy Forum, and did any of that money come from overseas?" Barbour replied, "Well, none of the money came from overseas." Russert: "Period?" Barbour: "Period." Barbour was in a position to know, inasmuch as he created and chaired the National Policy Forum, a now-defunct organization that did not have to disclose its donors and could receive foreign money, legally.
Months later, according to Russert, Barbour called him, apologizing "that he had misled me." Barbour said he had discovered that the Pacific Cultural Foundation, a Taiwanese entity, had contributed $25,000 to the National Policy Forum. What Barbour didn't say — and Senate investigators later discovered — is that the RNC chairman sent a personal thank-you letter for the contributions to Ambassador Jason Hu, the U.S. representative of the Taiwanese government.
Given that Barbour is involved with the new GOP "National Council for a New America," you would think any comparison between that group and the National Policy Forum would note that Barbour used NPF to inject foreign money into Republican Party spending on the 1994 elections.
Then again, the media never paid nearly as much attention to that foreign money as they did to foreign money that made its way to the Democratic Party two years later.

Is BJJ more or less complex than Muay Thai?
To me it seems alot simpler to learn alot less technical, you have alot more time to think as you grapple. It just seems easier to pick up.
They are both totally different disciplines, and to me, can't be compared.
Agree with Killz they are completly different but to say you have more time in BJJ is false.
Yes some times you can see a set up coming for lets say an ARM bar but not always. You can be sitting in a persons guard and next thing you know you are tapping.
I'm bias as can be, but grappling is way more complex than striking IMO.... in the context of MMA anyway. You see a lot more grapplers pick up striking than the other way around.
I've never done traditional muay thai, so I can't say with any true expertise how complex it is in and of itself. I assume, like anything worth practicing, you could do it for a lifetime and never come close to learning everything there is to know.
Saying that BJJ is simple is incredibly false. You could train BJJ for over 10 years and still feel like a complete beginner when training with other black belts. There is an infinity of techniques out there, it's a never ending sport.
That being said, I would be tempted to say that BJJ is more complex, but that simply because I train BJJ and I never tried Muy thai, so I won't.
If there's one real way to find, go train BJJ and Muy thai and you'll be able to compare them.
One last thing, are we talking about no-gi or gi? You couldn't even imagine how more complex the gi game is. My teacher always tell me that no-gi is kind of like "checkers" while gi is a "chest" game.
This is an excellent question. I've thought about this many times and again today after watching the Gracie breakdown of UFC 152.
The problem with BJJ is that athletic and strong fighters/grapplers can negate some of the technique by using their strength. So they can sort of cut corners so to speak and power their way out of a submission or force even without properly applying it. But competition at a high level it's difficult to discern one martial art from another and say this one is better or that one is easier.
I've taken quite a few different art forms and I have to agree that BJJ is highly complex. The beauty is that for every submission there's a counter and for every counter there's a counter attack.
It's a beautiful artform. It really is because you don't aim to hurt your opponent.
As one poster said you can train a lifetime and still continue to learn because of new variations. If only I could see one seminar live with Rickson Gracie.
I've trained bjj for 7 years and muay thai for 15 years. In both I have trained with world champions and I have come to a simple, stark conclusion.
Anyone who says either art is simpler than the other doesn't know what the hell they are talking about. They are both equally complex with an equal variety of moves, methods, and strategies. In both raw athleticism can allow you to cut corners so to speak but you should never do so. Both are reliant upon the four factors of effectiveness for use and both teach all four.
