Philadelphia Phillies: Current Series vs. Giants Even More Crucial Than Last OneAugust 4, 2011
Last week, the Phillies played the reigning world champion San Francisco Giants in a three-game series at home at Citizens Bank Park. Sadly for the Phillies, it was a repeat of their NLCS matchup the year before—the Phillies ended up losing the series, dropping two of the three games, handing the Giants the series win and boosting their confidence that they were still the better team, despite the Phillies having baseball's best record at 71-39 and being a favorite to win it all this year.
Here's how last week's series went down: Game 1 was Phillies rookie Vance Worley against the Giants' overpaid-yet-underwhelming southpaw Barry Zito, whose start was pushed forward a day due to ace Tim Lincecum being sick with the flu.
Worley pitched his first complete game in his major league career, allowing just two runs on just three hits in nine innings and earning the win. He also struck out five batters and walked just one.
Game 2 of the series was a rematch of Game 3 of the 2010 NLCS—Cole Hamels against Matt Cain. Unfortunately, despite Cain's previous struggles against the Phillies, he ended up defeating Hamels like he did back in the playoffs, this time in a pitchers' duel, with the Phillies losing 2-1, with the Phillies' lone run being unearned.
In spite of Hamels fanning six batters compared to just one for Cain, the Phillies lineup just couldn't produce against the Giants, and with that, the series was tied at one game apiece.
In the rubber match, it was the Phillies' fifth starter Kyle Kendrick against Giants ace Tim Lincecum, who finally recovered from his sickness. Outfielder Carlos Beltran made his debut as a Giant that night, brought to San Francisco to give the team the offensive boost it had been longing for all season.
Although Beltran went 0-for-4, Lincecum was lights out. He did give up four walks, but he also struck out six and held the Phillies to just three hits in six innings, with the Giants winning the game 4-1.
Kendrick gave up three of the four runs, walked two and fanned four in 6.1 innings. With that win, what served as the first series rematch since the NLCS went to the team that won both the NLCS and that series—the San Francisco Giants.
However, a few things have changed since the Phillies played San Francisco last week. To start, the Phillies made a trade of their own when they acquired Hunter Pence from the Houston Astros the day after the Giants left for Cincinnati. Since Pence debuted in Phillies pinstripes last Saturday against the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Phillies have yet to lose a game.
Pence has done hit part in the No. 5 hole in the Phillies lineup, providing the right-handed bat the Phillies have needed, and giving Ryan Howard, who's been on an offensive tear since Pence came to town, the protection he's needed behind him since Jayson Werth signed with the Washington Nationals back in the offseason.
In addition, the Phillies will have ace Roy Oswalt back for this series, who's been on the DL since June 24 with a couple of bulging discs in his back. He's made two rehab starts in the last week or so, and he's allowed just two runs in each of them. According to the Philadelphia Daily News, Oswalt stated, "I don't have any pain," and that he was ready to return to the major league club. He's scheduled to start Sunday according to the Philadelphia Inquirer's Bob Brookover.
Lastly, the Giants did not have the privilege to face the Phillies' top two pitchers, Roy Halladay (who won't face the Giants at all in the regular season this year) and Cliff Lee, which showed that, if the Giants want to make a statement against the Phillies, they have to top their best pitchers before they can truly say they are the better team.
Speaking of which, the matchups are as follows:
- Lee will open the series and face the Giants for the first time since losing the World Series as a Texas Ranger, with struggling sophomore southpaw Madison Bumgarner opposing him.
- Friday will be Worley against Jonathan Sanchez, who will be making his first start since coming off the DL.
- Saturday will be another rematch of Hamels and Cain.
- Sunday will be Oswalt against Lincecum.
Talk about a great series.
It surely will be interesting to see what happens in this series. My guess is that Lee will win Game 1, Worley will continue his hot streak against the Giants and win Game 2, Hamels will bounce back and win Game 3 and Lincecum will win Game 4 against Oswalt, who will still need one more start before he settles into the rotation again.
That amounts to the Phillies winning three of four. Still, with the Phillies not losing a game since Pence was acquired, they could sweep the Giants in the four-game series, and boy, would that make a statement.
Now that the Phillies have their roster set with Pence, this series will be the true determining factor as to who would win a playoff series this year between the Phils and Giants. Before, the Phillies didn't have Pence and the Giants didn't face Halladay, Lee or Oswalt.
With Lee and Oswalt slated to start in this series, this is the time to see whether the Phillies or Giants truly trump the National League. This series is vital for the Phillies to win, even more than the last, because this is the series that will show the NL (and potentially the rest of baseball) who the best team is.
So, with that, may the best team win.
And, as always, let's go Phillies.

Corporate governance and public corruption
Corporate governance in the private sector and corruption are important for economic development and private sector development. This paper investigates how corporate governance in private-sector media companies can affect public corruption. The analytical framework, based on models of corporate governance, identifies two channels through which media ownership concentration affects corruption: an owner effect, which discourages corruption and a competition-for-control effect that enhances it. When the ownership structure of a newspaper has a majority shareholder, the first effect dominates and corruption decreases as ownership becomes more concentrated in the hands of majority shareholders. Without majority shareholders, the competition-for-control effect dominates and corruption increases with the concentration of ownership of the media company. Thus, the paper shows that cases of intermediate media-ownership concentration are the worst at promoting public accountability, while extreme situations, where the ownership is completely concentrated or widely held, can result in similar and lower levels of corruption.

On the same day that he was dismissed from his position as host of the long-running The O'Reilly Factor, O'Reilly joined others in a V.I.P. line at St. Peter's Square for a chance to meet Pope Francis.

O'Reilly, who is a Catholic, has taken exception in the past with comments made by the pope.
At one time Pope Francis said, "A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian."
O'Reilly responded on his show by drawing attention to the murder in 2015 of Kate Steinle in San Francisco, CA.
He remarked, "The pope. I would very much like to speak with him. And if I can arrange that, I would like to bring the family of Kate Steinle with me."

O'Reilly stated that millions of people in America have suffered economically due to the current immigration system, adding, "I think I could persuade the pope that providing protection and enforcing settled law is certainly not un-Christian."
After the news broke, O'Reilly released the followng statement: "Over the past 20 years at Fox News. I have been extremely proud to launch and lead one of the most successful news programs in history, which has consistently informed and entertained millions of Americans and significantly contributed to building Fox into the dominant news network in television."
He continued, "It is tremendously disheartening that we part ways due to completely unfounded claims. But that is the unfortunate reality many of us in the public eye must live with today. I will always look back on my time at Fox with great pride in the unprecedented success we achieved and with my deepest gratitude to all my dedicated viewers. I wish only the best for Fox News Channel."

text: Hi everyone, I am going to be (potentially) in the market for a new bass in a couple months and am curious to hear your opinions on midlevel double bass options in the 1500-3500 price range especially. I am currently playing a 1940-50s German laminated bass which I like but has given my lots of problems (unidentified buzzes, bridge movement, neck issues) over the year or so that I've owned it. I play mostly jazz in louder settings with a pick up but occasionally classical and pit orchestra work. Right now the options that I am seriously considering are as follows. A: Get an Upton Standard (ply bass arond 2500), I played one recently in their Boston showroom and enjoyed the bass. B: Get a Shen SB 150 Hybrid from my local luthier who is selling two of them at around 1900. C: Stick with my current bass and put some more money into it to fix issues as they arise and hopefully solve some of the problems with it. So I am curious what people think between these options for sound, playability and durability, tradeoffs between higher end ply vs lower end hybrid, price points, and so on. Really anything on the topic, or ideas I haven't considered yet. Sorry this post is a bit jumbled, I'm looking forward to your responses!

Today, Wallace is a champion; but in the summer of 2005, he was living in a shelter, a refugee from a suspicious pit bull-breeding operation. Then Andrew "Roo" Yori entered the picture. A scientist and shelter volunteer, Roo could immediately see that Wallace was something special. While on his honeymoon, Roo learned that Wallace was about to be put down. Roo and his wife franticly fought to keep Wallace alive until they could return home to adopt him - even though they already had two dogs.
Once Wallace made it home, Roo knew the dog needed a mission, and serendipity led them to the world of competitive dog Frisbee. It seemed like a terrible idea; large and heavy with thick muscles that can make them look less than graceful, pit bulls are everything that most Frisbee dogs aren't. But that was fine with Roo - because part of his mission was to change people's minds about pit bulls. Overcoming everything from injuries to prejudice against the breed, the unlikely pair persevered to become world champions.
Movingly told by best-selling author Jim Gorant, Wallace will capture the hearts of animal lovers everywhere - and help rescue this popular breed's unfairly tarnished reputation.
About the author: Jim Gorant has worked as a magazine editor and writer for 20 years and is currently a senior editor at Sports Illustrated. His work has appeared in such magazines as Men's Health, GQ, and Outside. He is also the author of The New York Times best seller The Lost Dogs. He lives in New Jersey.

"Having detailed the fate of Michael Vick's dogs in the heartrending and immaculately researched New York Times bestselling The Lost Dogs, Sports Illustrated senior editor Gorant describes the life story of another pit bull - Wallace, a rescue dog who went on to win or place impressively in dozens of local, national, and international doggie disc-catching competitions. The aim, though, was to clear up misunderstandings about the breed while letting Wallace have some fun." (Library Journal)
"Roo and his dog"
Put a dog in a story and I will automatically give it an extra star. Make the dog the star and well. I love dogs and I have owned two dogs who were mixed breeds that had Pit Bull in them. Of all the dogs I have owned those two are in the top three with a Great Dane mix I owned. All the dogs I have owned are mixed with the exception of one Wired Haired Fox Terrier.
Did you know that in the early 1900's Pit Bulls were nicknamed Nanny Dogs in Britain. That the dog in Little Rascals was a Pit, picked because of his ability to get along with kids. It is terrible that we have turned this breed's reputation around through dog fighting.
All dog lovers will like this book. I do not believe that non dog lovers will like the book. It is just not that compelling of a story the way it is written. Marley and Me is still the best book in this genre. Marley and Me is a funny book as well as a tear jerker, and should appeal to a larger audience.
If you like reading about competitions, then you will like this book. Matter of fact this book seems to be more about competitions then anything else. It also seemed to be more about Roo, the owner, then about the dog. Roo is a driven competitor who seemed to push the dog, when all the dog wanted to do was play. Roo was out to prove something and Roo has a large chip on his shoulder. The last half of the book is a list of all the tournaments they went to and how well they did. This was exciting at times and redundant at others.
I recommend this to dog lovers and sport lovers, but not to non dog people. If you have not read Marley and Me, by John Grogan, it is a must.
"I Have Never Been so sad When a Book Ended."
I just really wanted to keep listening to story after story of Wallace and Roo's triumphs. I just didn't want this book to end!
Wallace of course.
No sorry I have not!
When to cheer for the underdog!
"Loved It"
I loved the story of Wallace, hearing the fight his people put in for him and the message of positive PET ownership
"AWESOME Book for anyone"
I have spread the word about this book to everyone. As a Pit Bull advocate, I was so excited to listen to a true story of a positive nature concerning Pit Bulls. I love the breed and fight hard every day for them. EVERYONE should read this wonderful and true story of a win for the breed.
it was all too good to pick any part as a favorite
it was just an awesome book throughout.
I would love to hear a story that would continue with the Yori's about Hector. I've met one of the other Vick dogs and the positive change in these dogs would be wonderful to listen to.
"Fabulous read!"
Wonderful story about a great man and his dog, which dispels myths about Pit Bulls. Demonstrates how irrational breed legislation is.
"Well done Jim, Sean, Roo, Clara and WALLACE"
So sad to have reached the end. FANTASTIC life, story and so well read. Thank you!
"Narrator can't sink his teeth in this story"
Never give up on a underdog.
Wallace of course
No not unless he gets something to fix his teeth He sounds like he is having trouble with false teeth --very distracting
When Wallace went to his first disc competition
"Societies Prejudice"
The Pit Bull was left at the animal rescue shelter by a man who had called ahead the day before, explaining that he had found a stray and would they take the dog. This man had trained the Pit Bull himself and had even given him a name, Ranger Chuck.
The rescue shelter became more than frustrated when it became apparent that the Pit Bull, whom they named, Wallace, was quite aggressive. Wallace eventually became what is known as, unadoptable. Unadoptable dogs, at times, can be faced with euthanizia.
The couple, Clara and Roo, short for Andrew, had adopted a dog from the rescue center and became volunteers at the shelter. They worked with Wallace tirelessly, in order to decrease his aggressiveness. Society has the misconception that Pit Bulls are always aggressive. What society doesn't realize is that Pit Bulls can be trained to be aggressive by its owner but are not born aggressive.
Eventually, Clara and Roo had to take Wallace home to be his foster parent's. While at home with Wallace, Roo found a Frisbee-like toy in his basement. Roo took Wallace outside and in an attempt to decrease some of Wallace's enery, he attempted to throw the disc like shaped toy across the yard. Wallace was a born player. Now, if Wallace could be taught how to not snap at other dogs, not chase after people wearing shoes and not have to always be crated to keep other's safe.
That was the day that began the rest of Wallace's life. Wallace didn't just have a foster home, he now had an everyday home with Clara and Roo. Roo taught himself how to do team disc playing with a friend, Josh, and of course, Wallace. Success would take time. However, Roo was determined to make the impossible, possible. The Pit Bull, Wallace, would have to be taught how to play with a disc with two people. Remember, no Pit Bull had ever been known to play, team disc. Roo had another thing to prove, that Pit Bulls were dogs that could be trusted and loved like any other dog in the country. He wanted to bring Pit Bulls back to places that had banned Pit Bulls from living. He and those who loved Wallace had a rough road ahead to make other's believe as he did.
The book was a great listen. The narrator, Sean Runnette, was excellent. He made a great listen even better. I found the book a learning experience. I had never known that dogs played with a Frisbee anywhere but in their backyard or at the beach. Disc tournaments are played in many places and many dog's are their owner's participate in the sport. Trophies are won, no money is involved. I love dogs and have had a beginning lesson in how to not fear a Pit Bull. I have never owned one or known anyone who has owned a Pitt Bull. I was aware that some owner's of Pitt Bulls raised them to participate in dog fights. These fights are what have brought such a bad name to the dog breed, Pitt Bulls.
"Love Pitt Bulls, Liked Wallace"
My main gripe about this book is that there was too much overview and not enough detail in the story. I was hoping for a little depth in how Wallace learned so quickly and so well. I wanted to know how his owner taught this underdog to become a great freesbie dog. Their is more in the story about Wallace's owner and about his owner's drive to win rather than about the dog. I just found that I grew bored of the story because of the lack of depth. Maybe there was just too much information to cover and the subject matter should have been narrowed down. I have recently rescued a pit bull who shows great intrest in freesbie but I failed to come away from this book with any real insight or inspiration. I gave this story 3 stars because I love dogs and the story was Okay.
"Great story! Could have gotten a better narrator."
I enjoyed the story that was well written but it sounded as if the narrator had a lisp.

Recently, I met with Illinois legislators in Washington, D.C. as the parent of a childhood cancer survivor, Illinois resident, and representative of all the children of Illinois who have had, are being treated for, or have yet to be diagnosed with childhood cancer. I discussed the Conquer Childhood Cancer Act of 2007 with our legislative offices and asked for their support of this important bill to fund childhood cancer research. Childhood cancer is the No. 1 cause of death by disease in children.
Cure rates for childhood cancer are improving, but only with continued childhood cancer research.
My daughter is here today, happy and healthy, because of this research. Without continual childhood cancer research, my child and others with her diagnosis would not be here today.
To see how children's lives are affected by cancer, I invite you to view a YouTube video produced by families of children with childhood cancer entitled, "Childhood Cancer Awareness." Go to http://tinyurl.com/ywcoom to see the video.
The Conquer Childhood Cancer Act is a clearly bipartisan bill with 191 representatives and 46 senators co-sponsoring it.
However, the Conquer Childhood Cancer Act needs still more support to help the children of the United States.
This bipartisan bill needs to become law to save more children's lives.
I ask you to contact your representative and senators in Congress through the CureSearch.org Web site and ask them to support the Conquer Childhood Cancer Act of 2007 and the funding it requests.
The children of Illinois cannot wait any longer.

"I really haven't done it more than 10-15 times, Lindsay says she's also done using Adderal — and, for her, "that's a big deal." She adds, "I was convinced that it did ground me, but I notice how calm I am now [without it]."
The only drug she says she's on now: Nexium, for acid reflux. As for why this latest trip to Cliffside was different, she says "The other times it tended to be a punishment. I don't think in the past I fully surrendered to the fact that I need to shut up and listen. In this case, I wasn't fighting at all." "I don't blame anyone for my mistakes," she says. "I don't blame anyone for driving in a car while drinking. I did that and I'm not proud of it." Here's part of the interview:
Robin Thicke, Pharrell Williams have filed a lawsuit against Marvin Gaye's family over their hit song "Blurred Lines". Marvin Gaye's family had been asking for a cash settlement and threatening to sue…saying that "Blurred Lines" sounds similar to one of Marvin's songs "Got to give it Up". Thicke and the other plaintiffs don't want money; they want the court to rule that "Blurred Lines" does not infringe on "Got to Give It Up."

You may have employees who perform well but could do better—and you might have some ideas about how they can do that. So at evaluation time, you rate them as good or even excellent employees and want to include some specific suggestions in the narrative part of the evaluation. But you also know that some employees are sensitive to criticism. What should you do?

Hughes wants to keep Schwarzer
Mark Schwarzer's hopes of a dream move to Arsenal have suffered another setback with new Fulham manager Mark Hughes revealing he has no intentions of selling the Australian.
The 37-year-old Socceroos goalkeeper has been linked with a cross-London move for months after Gunners boss Arsene Wenger reportedly identified him as a target to replace current No.1 Manuel Almunia.
Arsenal have already had an initial STG2 million ($A3.5 million) bid rejected and were reportedly preparing an improved offer.
But it could be in vain with former Manchester City manager Hughes declaring shortly after his official unveiling as Roy Hodgson's successor that he doesn't want the likes of Schwarzer and sought-after defender Paul Konchesky going anywhere.
"There is always interest in quality players and it is not my intention to allow the better players to leave the football club," Hughes said at his first official press conference on Tuesday.
"We are in a position where we don't have to sell our better players.
"We want to progress and you want to have the better players, so I suggest the two players you mention will still be Fulham players by the end of the (transfer) window (August 31)."
Hughes, who is aiming to carry on Hodgson's good work and make Fulham a consistent top-10 side, said he plans to meet with Schwarzer to discuss his future.
"There was a conversation (with Schwarzer) some time ago but I have only just come through the door and will have to refresh myself about the conversations that happened," Hughes said.
"We want to resolve the situation as soon as possible but we are not in the position of letting our best players leave and Mark falls into that category."
Schwarzer has another year on his contract at Craven Cottage, but is believed to be desperate to move to one of the Premier League's biggest clubs and secure Champions League football in the twilight of his career.
The shot-stopper's performances helped guide Fulham to the Europa League final and a credible 12th in the Premier League.

LSAT Contradictions and Distortions
Once you have a handle on scope, you may suddenly find yourself tempted by contradctions on distortions on the LSAT test. These answers deal with the evidence in the argument, and are thus "in scope," yet they go against what the author wrote or make bad connections that the author did not intend.
This is the fourth article in a series of articles dealing with wrong answer choices on the LSAT test. The article series includes:
LSAT Contradictions and Distortions
Often, the LSAT test presents you with tempting answer choices that go against what the author is arguing. They may directly contradict the author or they connect two pieces of the argument that do not need to be connected. They seem tempting because the scope is correct, but unless you're dealing with a weaken question, you don't want to contradict the author. Besides, weaken answers are typically more sophisticated than simply saying the author is wrong. They usually ask you to attack the central assumption. And as far as making connections in an argument, all you care about is connecting the gap in logic-finding the central assumption. In this case, the connection addressed the red flag: what is the connection between chimpanzees and children in emotionally distant families?
Reread the same argument we used in the previous articles, but this time consider keep the a question stem in mind of "which of the following does the author infer?"
Researchers at State University are teaching chimpanzees to communicate using sign language. For years the research continued largely without success. The researchers would reward the chimpanzees with food when they used the right gestures. The chimpanzees simply mimicked the researchers' gestures in a sort of Pavlovian response. The researchers recently had a breakthrough. By adding emotional words and cues along with simple nouns, the chimpanzees seem able to grasp larger concepts and some even form simple sentences. This research proves that children raised in emotionally distant families have difficulty expressing themselves with language.
(A) Chimpanzees were able to phrase simple sentences after being trained using a Pavlovian response.
This is in scope, but is the opposite of what the author is saying. How could the author infer the opposite of what she wrote?
(B) Children who have trouble expressing themselves should learn sign language.
This answer takes two pieces of the argument and connects them in a way the author never intended. We want to find the connection between chimps and children, not sign language and children.
(C) Chimpanzees can only learn language if they are given emotional stimulus while learning.
This seems close to what the author is saying, but the extreme language distorts it. We know that chimpanzees learn language better when given emotional cues, but the author never said it was the only way to learn.
(D) When the chimpanzees were given emotional cues, they stopped imitating the gestures of the researchers.
Again, this distorts the author's words by making a connection where one doesn't exist in the argument. We know that they learned better and were able to form simple sentences after being given emotional cues, but we don't know that they stopped mimicking the researchers entirely.
(E) Chimpanzees and children both require emotional cues to learn language.
OK, so we're stacking the deck and all the right answers in this series are (E). Still, if this were the actual LSAT, you should just mark this answer as correct and move on-without ever reading it. Why waste your time if you've eliminated the other answers — one answer has to be correct so if the others are wrong this is it. This choice answers the red flag: what is the connection between chimps and children?
Next we'll take a look at LSAT Answers with Wrong Tone.

Here at TheAdultToyShoppe.com we're always trying to stay on the cutting edge of the adult industry. Keeping up with the Joneses also includes highlighting some rather wacky products that may appeal to some and appall others. Last night on Jay Leno, he talked about bacon flavored lubricant in his monologue. The next day at work, we all sat around the coffee room in the morning and talked about this. The consensus was that 3 people thought it was neat, 2 through it was gross. We'll let you be the judge of that.
Will we ever carry bacon flavored lubricant? Let's just say that there have been some other strange products that have been invented that actually ended up being very popular. A perfect example is the Clone-a-Willy and Clone-a-Pussy that came out about 5 years ago. We brought in a few and put it on the website and to our amazement they sold out so quickly that we ordered in a huge batch! 5 years later, it's still selling strong and one of those odd adult novelties that sell well even though first opinions might suggest otherwise. It goes to show you never know.
We're talking about bacon lube now and will most likely approach the company about wholesale and bring it to you. In the meantime however here is the link to their store if you want to purchase some right now. What is our opinion? It could be good, bacon scent really makes you mouth water so perhaps it might be nice for oral sex. Ask most guys and if it does a good job at masking pussy flavor with pig flavor, they might be a big fan. As long as it smells real then it should be a hit. Although greasy bacon is not really an aphrodisiac, it might be appealing enough to some that they'd want to bring it in the bedroom. Stay tuned and we'll see how this product takes off!

I have one very fun in crap or small waves, it keeps me off a longboard alot in the summer. My only complaint is I wish I had purchased the tri instead of the quad, but thats just my opinion. Worth the $ to milk most out of typical summer wind slop.
check out Al's Fishcuit. they're all worth a pretty penny but if you got the cash go for it.
Jan 7, 2009, 10:12 PM #5
my cousin bought the trifin 6'0 pod, its sick. lots of volume in the nose and the wide point is pretty far forwards. im going to order wynn surfboards version of it but with a quad/tri fin setup
Jan 8, 2009, 02:41 AM #6
Found a used 5'6 for 250

I have a 5'10" fishcuit. I like the board and the shape, but I think that CI does not glass their boards enough. It is super thin glass so you have to be very careful with the boards. I would have bought a different brand with similar shape but thicker glass If I had the chance. The board does fly across the summer mushburgers though.
Aug 20, 2009, 03:56 PM #9
They utilize multiple glassers, including Moonlight Glassing in SD (where they glass them so well they are almost bullet proof). It all depends on which glasser they used, if it's a custom you can request which glasser if your willing to wait and/or pay for it.
If your going to buy one off the rack, take the time to see which glassing shop was used if that's your concern.

Go with the fishcuit if you want a board for a smaller day but still ridable in bigger days. The only thing is that when its dumpy it cant really handle it as well because it has no rocker.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - PC - Review
With five out of seven planned books written and selling like hotcakes, three films destroying box office records, and a ton of toys and other merchandising, there seems to be no stopping the pop culture behemoth that is Harry Potter. Now, with the release of the film based on the third book in the series, the PC game version of the Prisoner of Azkaban is hitting store shelves. Unfortunately, the PC game doesn't quite live up to the rest of the Harry Potter empire, offering little in the way of gameplay or any real challenge. In fact, most players will be able to complete the game in one night. Very short and simple, the Prisoner of Azkaban won't hold your attention for very long.
As I'm sure everyone who hasn't been living under a rock for the past few years knows, the Prisoner of Azkaban is the third book in the Harry Potter series, taking Harry and his crew through their third year at Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Sirius Black, a prisoner from the wizard prison Azkaban (and one who has been implemented in the deaths of Harry's parents) has escaped and is rumored to be heading straight to Harry. On his tail are the frightening Dementors, the guards of Azkaban whose presence has some pretty troublesome effects on Harry himself. Controlling Harry, Ron and Hermione, you must uncover the mystery of Sirius Black's escape and the presence of the Dementors, as well as discover some secrets concerning Harry's parents and their deaths.
The gameplay in the Prisoner of Azkaban is pretty simplistic. You control your character casting spells that react against enemies and the environment, allowing you to break locks, push enemies, pull yourself to unreachable heights, and a variety of other activities. The game will automatically select the spell that is most appropriate to the situation. It also will automatically switch between the three main characters when necessary. The simplicity of the gameplay is good for younger fans of the Harry Potter franchise, as the game is extremely easy to pick up and play.
However, in this lies the fundamental fallacy of the Prisoner of Azkaban; the game is just too darn easy. The game simply does not present enough of a challenge, even for young inexperienced gamers. The puzzles are extremely simple and require little to no thought, and the game is very short. The whole game basically feels like a tutorial, holding your hand throughout the entire journey. Given this, there really is no incentive for someone to replay the game once they've finished it, even though you can go through and collect all of the extras (since you don't really get any kind of special reward for doing this, then you probably won't feel the need to).
The graphics are an improvement over its predecessors, and look very good on the PC. The game features dynamic lighting effects and much improved character models. The environments look great, too, with great textures and impressive effects.
The sound presentation is also very good. The voice acting is well done (although not by the film actors), and the music is very atmospheric and represents the story's theme very well.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban does a good job of retaining the atmosphere from both the film and the book from which it's based. However, the overly simplistic gameplay leaves a lot to be desired. Harry Potter completists should want to check this out, but everyone else will do just fine without it.
Gameplay: 5.0
The gameplay is extremely simplistic, and the game's tutorial-like presentation will undoubtedly annoy seasoned gamers. Everything is pretty much done for you, eliminating all challenge.
Graphics: 8.5
The graphics are a noticeable improvement over the first two games in the series, with cool features like dynamic lighting and great looking character models and animation.
Sound: 8.5
The music is very dark and moody, in line with the film and book. The voice effects are very well done and the actors sound a lot like their movie counterparts. All in all, a very solid sound presentation.
Difficulty: Easy
Concept: 8.0
The game does a fine job of capturing the look and feel of the film. However, the gameplay leaves much to be desired.
Overall: 6.5
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban presents an improved aesthetic for the series, with great looking characters and environments. However, the gameplay is too simplistic for even the most inexperienced gamer. Only hardcore Potter fans need.
Above Average

This is the completed Story Game of "Aunt Ethel" that you all did an outstanding job in authoring.
It's the week before Thanksgiving and you are just finding out that family members that you don't care for are showing up at your house for Thanksgiving, uninvited. You know this day will be horrible with these people, so we must devise a plan to save Thanksgiving day.
First, we are going to the local drug store to get some headache medicine - since aunt Ethel will give us all migraines with her mindless blabbering. Once we pick up the headache medicine, our next stop shall be the liquor store for a little wine to try to make a happy occasion out of this problem.
After that we probably will go get some ear plugs to use before the headache medicine kicks in. After that I think I'll feed the dog canned chili, then buy some new tiaras! Because nothing says festive and makes you feel happy like having a new tiara! Tiaras for all of the ladies except for mindless, blabbering Aunt Ethel. No new tiara for her.
Instead, Aunt Ethel will get a nice frilly pink gag with a bow on it but someone will have to just say it: Auntie we love you and all but you are terrible and you give us all headaches!" Auntie will get the idea and tell everyone that her will needs to be changed so that, but before she even finished the sentence, Uncle Bob butts in and said the barbeque is ready. So you grabbed a turkey leg and gave it to Aunt Ethel who has her mouth open because she was cut off as you secretly poured more sleeping powder in her drink.
Well, decide no matter what to be firm, tolerant and kind. Remember to enjoy and play music and smile and not loose the day to worry and most of all pray. Auntie Ethel was snoring from the sleeping powder, and Uncle Fred thought it would be funny to eat cake and not give her any.
Then they thought it would be great fun to get a marker pen and draw on her face they also thought it would be funny to dress her up in a clown costume and feed the dog some more chili.
Next time everyone should just bring their own food. A pot luck thing. As I sit here imagining all of this a stroke of genius hits me. Uncle Buck hasn't been to our house in quite awhile. What better time to invite the only man that likes to entertain everyone by projectile vomiting beer out of his nose, and hopefully as the projectile vomiting of beer is coming out of Uncle Buck's nose we can position sleeping Auntie Ethel so that it goes straight into her open snoring mouth and she will wake up with a terrible headache "ouch" and oh boy...what is that smell???
She now wonders what happened during thanksgiving dinner. Did she make out with Buck? He isn't even her husband, but I am sure she will be pleased because she had always admired Uncle Buck. He got married into the family so to her it is not weird. Her husband will need to just look the other way. After all it's the holidays.
Auntie Ethel has a terrible headache and feels like she drank a 24 pack of bad beer. She doesn't even drink beer. She isn't even sure she made out with Buck after all that beer that she doesn't even remember drinking.
Now the dog is sick from all that chili and just puked all over her new shoes. Auntie Ethel calls a cab and leaves. She has vowed never to return. Don't you just love a happy ending. Me too!

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in '2005 - 2014 S-197 Mustang -General/Talk-' started by timeless2, Jul 1, 2006.
i want it i want it i want it
The competition from Challenger and Camaro will motivate Ford to keep the Mustang on top. It really does look like history repeating itself. Now what I really hope for is a reincarnated Trans Am Series pitting these cars against each other with factory backed race teams and world class drivers! And let's not forget the street car spin offs: Boss Mustang, Z-28 Camaro and Challenger TA.
I plan on buying one - sit it right next to the stang
By that time I might be able to afford a new car, it really depends on price, demand, weight/power, and for me since I dont have much cash since I am in college..if mustangs are tons cheaper for the power Id rather get a cobra then
The price of cars seems to be getting outragous. IMO! Low income ppl can't afford most of what is out there now. I am glad that fomo has atleast offered the base stang v6r and hope that chryslr will do the same with the challenger.

Hey all,
It's my first day and I did the following:
Tried Sublime Text 2
Bought it
Set up everything for Python
Developed my first plugin!
One of the things I love from Coda, is the fact that I get a save notification, which is handy if I work on remote sftp sites. So I wrote a small plugin that tells you via growl when the file has been successfully saved.You can view it here: github.com/flxfxp/My-Stuff/blob ... otifier.py
Awesome, thanks.
It's something that I didn't know that I wanted, haha.

"Maybe the most beautiful,
powerful and important film ever made about the tragedies of the
Middle East."
A film by Udi Aloni
Starring: Itay Tiran, Clara Khoury, Moni Moshonov, Makram Khoury
Israel/USA 2007, 97 minutes, Color, 35mm
"Maybe the
most beautiful, powerful and important film ever made about the
tragedies of the Middle East....Forgiveness thinks with emotions."
-Slavoj Zizek, philosopher; Guest Director of the 2008 Telluride
Film Festival
"Told with the tumbling urgency of the
deeply personal…overlaid with an impressionistic vigor and
thematic intricacy." – Michelle Orange, Village
"A stunningly poetic feature. A boldly
imaginative and lyrical story." – Prairie Miller,
"Forgiveness provides us with a measure
of the distance between our capacity for understanding and the terrors
we choose instead…trembling the underground, indeed."
-Tony Kushner, writer, Angels in America
"Aloni is clearly an artist of intelligence
and talent. The cast is uniformly excellent…and the film is
stunningly beautiful to look at." – George Robinson,
Jewish Week
"My god, how could an Israeli-American
director capture the moment of sadness in a Palestinian woman's
eyes in such an accurate way? The director made me feel dry in my
throat and made me hold my chest to make sure that my heart was
still in place. And I wish for more powerful films, like this one,
that show me that there are still honorable men, and that you can
see the other's face as human, with no differences of race
or color." – Moheeb Al-Barghouti, Il Quds, Palestine
"Enormously powerful and important, wrenching
and beautiful and devastating."
– Judith Butler, UC Berkeley

Travis Hafner signed a contract to be the Yankees DH... because they had a shortage of aging veterans with injury issues.
The main reason he was signed? Because he once beat the Yankees in the post season.
It makes sense on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast!

The purpose of screening is early diagnosis and treatment. Screening tests are usually administered to people without current symptoms, but who may be at high risk for certain diseases or conditions.
There are no screening guidelines or tests available for early diagnosis of osteoarthritis. Patients are usually diagnosed when they begin to notice symptoms and bring this to the attention of their doctor.

Favourite Rosemary Shrager voted off I'm A Celebrity
BOSSY chef Rosemary Shrager was last night voted out of the I'm A Celebrity jungle, despite being the bookies' favourite to win the show.
"I was in it to win it but you get to a point where you get to the edge.
"I've loved it but if anyone had told me it was this hard I wouldn't have done it."
Rosemary, 61, backed boxer David Haye to win.

RE: A-listers. Eh, I've been happy for the most part with who they get in the cast. Ricki Lake has long been on my wish list, and most of the people who have yet to do the show that I'd love to see wouldn't qualify as A-list. However, I still think back in their day, when their fame was at its peak, some of the celebs they've gotten wouldn't have ever taken part. Most people think doing this show is a way to recapture the fame that the celebs have fallen out of, or to make a name for themselves other than 'someone famous's child' or 'the ex of an A-lister'. I'm sure Chaz was cast more for his story than his parents anyway, but having the Cher connection probably doesn't hurt. Whether it'll do for him like it did for Bristol we'll see. I feel like I at least knew of Chaz without automatically connecting him to his parents. I'd rather see him than the likes of Paris Hilton or a reality star whose claim to fame is getting wasted and sleeping with a bunch of random people in one night. I think if there were A-listers, people would whine that their fan base would help them win regardless of how they dance, why are they stooping to the show, there were better choices, let someone who needs the show do it...I think every season people find something to complain about Last season was the lack of star power, but it was one of the most enjoyable seasons I've had in a long time. Sometimes celebs I've known nothing about I grew to love, and continue to follow them in their respective careers long after their DWTS stints. As much as people say the producers are scrapping the bottom of the barrel this season, I think they've been there before. It'll take more than a cast of C/D listers to kill the show.
The only thing that can really ruin a season for me is someone getting by based on their political/social interest leanings when they can't dance for crap, producer manipulation, ringers who are better than the pros, or an outcome that's made obvious by week 1. As much as I'm rooting for Ricki, I will be somewhat disappointed if Derek wins again. I know it's not supposed to be about the celeb, but if his fans on twitter are anything to go by, I think they forget that rule and that he even has a celeb. I wish the judges wouldn't be so OTT, overly critical over minor things when letting other couples get away with a lot more, and that the producers would stay out of the drama and showmances. But I'll keep watching
I agree Fanny Mare that I think the media and TPTB are blowing this up into epic proportions. I have no doubt there's controversy, but suddenly Carson gets dragged into it? I think there just making a bigger deal out of it with headlines, snippets of interviews, and will use that to try and drum up ratings and turn this into another Bristol rated season. However, I think there's a line they can cross with all this hype and controversial casting and doing anything for ratings. I know there going up against the X Factor (not on the same night, but overall ratings for the week), which I'm sure will blow the rest of the competition out of the water, at least for a few weeks. I think that's been a lot of hype in itself, but that's another topic. I wouldn't be surprised for the producers to throw in a few kinks if it means saving people they think will make better press, or planting fake stories in the press to drive watercooler buzz, or cause drama and showmances if they aren't already happening. Such a good cast on paper, but I don't trust TPTB not to ruin what could be a good season.
So it looks like for week 1, we're up to the cha cha for Kristin, Nancy, Elizabetta, Carson, Ron (not 100% confirmed), and VW for Hope, Ricki, Chyna, and Rob. I really hope that some stars make a big splash on the first night and cause a shake up with the fan bases. I'd love nothing more than tosee Maks, Anna, or Tony win this season. Not really counting on Tony, but I think Maks and Anna might have a good shot. Also, the dance troupe is returning with 3 original members (Oksana, Kiki, and Teddy), and 3 new members. One of them, I believe, is Val's pro partner from his days of competing.

Eurofins Product Testing - RISKOFDERM project
"Risk assessment for occupational dermal exposure to chemicals"
Duration: 1st February 2000 to 31st January 2004.
RTD Project : QLK4-CT-1999-01107
Research Programme: Quality of Life and Management of Living Resources
- Key action Environment and Health
Project funded by the European Community
A major source of sickness absence in the workplace is due to skin irritation and dermatitis, as well as diseases caused by chemicals that impair optimal functioning of the skin, after contact with contaminated surfaces. Current methodologies for assessing these dermal exposures are, however, inadequate. The project aimed to reduce acute and chronic ill-health through dermal contact with chemicals, developing two essential tools for management of dermal exposure and prevention of ill-health: a validated predictive model for estimating dermal exposure for use in risk assessment of single chemicals and a practical dermal exposure risk management tool for use by SMEs and others, for workplaces.
The consortium was composed of 15 partners from 11 different Member States chosen for their expertise in the area of exposure assessment. Dr. J.J. van Hemmen † of TNO (The Netherlands) was the project coordinator.
Eurofins was responsible for Part 4 Working Group that develops a toolkit providing employers with means of ranking dermal exposure risks in workplaces and with guidance on control measures for improved protection.
RISKOFDERM was a shared-cost RTD project funded under the Fifth Framework Programme of the European Community, within the Quality of Life and Management of Living Resources Programme - Key action Environment and Health.
This project was sponsored by the Bundesanstalt für Arbeitsschutz und Arbeitsmedizin, Hauptverband der gewerblichen Berufsgenossenschaften, Dutch government and more.

Forget traffic cops on busy corners of Michigan Avenue. During the bone-rattling, snow-pummeling months of winter, the city needs a more urgent fleet of police planted on every corner: mothers, training their sharp eyes on every man and woman without a hat or gloves.
Each uniformed mother would blow a silver whistle to pull over perpetrators. Once apprehended, violators would have the choice of a mother writing them a ticket or commandeering their cell phones to call their real mothers and report them. "William is walking outside without a scarf or boots!" William's mother would take care of the rest.

The 828mkII contains everything you need to turn your computer into a powerful 24-bit, 96kHz digital audio workstation.

Expand your system by connecting additional 828 or 896 FireWire audio interfaces.
The 828mkII is equally well-suited for studio and stage, with or without a computer. As a computer interface, the 828mkII provides 20 separate inputs and 22 outputs, including separate main outs and headphone out.

Use any input as a return.
You can add additional send/return loops using the 828mkII's new CueMix DSP™ on-board mixing feature, a flexible DSP-driven 20-input/8-bus mixing and monitoring matrix that eliminates the need for an external mixer or patchbay. Connect all of your studio gear, including microphones, guitars, synths, keyboards, drum machines and even effects processors. Then monitor all of these live inputs via the 828mkII's main outs, headphone jack or any other output — with virtually no monitoring latency and no processor drain on your computer. You can even create separate monitor mixes for the main outs, headphones and other outputs. Control everything from the included CueMix Console™ software or directly from the 828mkII's front-panel.
Need to hit the road? The 828mkII operates as a stand-alone mixer, with no computer required. Need to tweak your mix? Do it on the spot with the 828mII's backlit LCD and front-panel controls. Every 828mkII setting can be accessed from the front panel.
Back in the studio, 8 channels of ADAT optical digital I/O, plus stereo S/PDIF, make the 828mkII an ideal companion for a digital mixer. All digital I/O connections support standard sample rates up to 96kHz.
The 828mkII includes 16-channels of MIDI input and output via the FireWire connection to the computer. Simply plug in your FireWire cable, and both MIDI and audio are ready to go.

Abusive Secrecy
Here are some statements from an op-ed published in February, 1989 in the Washington Post:
"It quickly becomes apparent to any person who has considerable experience with classified material that there is massive overclassification and that the principal concern of the classifiers is not with national security, but rather with governmental embarrassment of one sort or another."
The author also referred to the famed Pentagon Papers case of the early 1970s, in which the Nixon administration had sought to enjoin press publication of a Defense Department-commissioned history of the Vietnam War. The op-ed author wrote: "I have never seen any trace of a threat to the national security from the [Papers'] publication. Indeed, I have never seen it even suggested that there was such an actual threat."
Who wrote this op-ed piece? None other than Erwin N. Griswold, former Solicitor General of the U.S. during the Nixon Administration, who argued the Pentagon Papers case before the Supreme Court on behalf of the White House.
Griswold's words — not to mention his very example as a government servant who fought tooth and nail for secrecy only to acknowledge later that the fight was unjustified — resonate all too well today. Just this past week, we've seen the release of a classified document that was the subject of a major subpoena brouhaha until the government finally released the document and its innocuous nature became clear. Also released after twenty-five years was was the previously classified FBI file on John Lennon, revealing such shockers as the fact that "Lennon has encouraged the belief that he holds revolutionary views, not only by means of his formal interviews with Marxists, but by the content of some of his songs and other publications."
Today, the NY Times op-ed page features a stunning piece by two former CIA employees, explaining that the CIA refuses to let them release an unredacted op-ed about Iran policy. The CIA concluded on its own that the piece contains no classified material, but explained to the former employees (who are subject to a pre-publication review agreement as ex-employees) that the agency "had to bow to the White House." Because all of the redacted information apparently is in the public domain, the ex-employees have released the redacted op-ed along with citations to public sources that fill in the redaction gaps. The authors acknowledge that readers will have to review each of the citations "to make much sense of [the] Op-Ed article." Needless to say, such a cumbersome read is far less likely to be effective, let alone to get read, than would a single, unredacted piece.
I don't know of anyone who seriously suggests that the government must never keep secrets. Secret-keeping sometimes is a necessary evil to protect national security and other government functions. But abusive secrecy in the form of massive over-classification, unwarranted pre-publication restraints, etc. should not be tolerated in a system that is founded in large part on the free flow of ideas, an informed populace, and ultimately self-government. Nor MUST it be this way. Both Congress and the courts can play a much more active watch-keeper role over executive branch secrecy than they generally do. As I have written about here and here (and in a forthcoming piece on classification leaks and the First Amendment which I haven't yet released) such a role is entirely consistent with, even demanded by, the checks and balances that are supposed to keep our system from devolving into tyranny.

The Claw Money x Gabriel Urist jewelry is now available at clawmoney.com and at selected retailers.
