Chivalry is Cool
Bow ties are back – and cooler than ever.
Yes, thanks to a well-loved BBC institution (Doctor Who, not Bargain Hunt) bow ties, alongside tweed, have had a resurgence of late, but Telegraph scribe, Tim Stanley, hopes that the fashion statement might herald a reversion to chivalry and 'good taste.' Both of which, I'm sure you'll agree, Doctor Who has always enforced (the latter particularly throughout the 1980s, right?).
Stanley recalls filming an interview by the Thames when a bunch of young'uns wandered by:
"But instead of the normal shouts of 'weirdo' and 'posh sod,' a boy cried, 'Where's yer TARDIS?' Thinking that they had walked into a filming of the new series of Doctor Who, I suddenly found myself surrounded by adoring fans. It was great for a while, until the questions about Daleks and Cybermen got too much."
Of course, he could do with a good editor who knows that Daleks and Cybermen should be given respect (by which I mean, capitalization), but Stanley might just be right. He goes on to explain:
"Theoretically – if approached correctly – mass bow tie wearing could change our society for the better. You're unlikely to vandalise anything, vomit in public or start a pub fight if wearing a bow tie."
He's clearly not met our editor, Christian Cawley (outside, now! – Ed).
Is chivalry dead? Or is wearing a bow tie an indication of charm, charisma and being able to 'speak proper'? It's over to you, dear readers…
One Response to Chivalry is Cool
In most American courtrooms (or at least the ones i worked in around St. Louis, Missouri), bow ties are not allowed to be worn by defendants, or anyone directly involved in the proceedings. Apparently they give too strong an impression of someone who is honest and trustworthy.

During her time as administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, Apple's new vice president of environmental initiatives, Lisa Jackson, listens during a Senate Environment and Public Works Committee hearing on the federal response to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, May 18, 2010. Andrew Harrer / Bloomberg
The UpTake: Since this environmental guru leader took over at Apple, the company's carbon footprint report has gotten worse. But the reason why is the real story.
Lisa Jackson was in the room with President Barack Obama as the full destruction of the 2010 BP oil spill became apparent. Now, in the first report since the former chief of the Environmental Protection Agency took over as Apple's vice-president of environmental initiatives the computer behemoth has reported a worse carbon footprint. And that's actually a good thing.
In the report published today, the company's carbon footprint increased 9 percent year over year, 2012 to 2013.
It turns out that before Jackson took over at Apple, its accounting of environmental impact ratings showed four times fewer emissions than what was actually associated with manufacturing, something the company has since remedied.
"Had we not changed our methodology, our emissions would have dropped 10 percent," according to the report.
Jackson, who served four years as EPA administrator, took over at Apple last October amid the company's renewed efforts to lower its carbon footprint.
H. Scott Matthews, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at Carnegie Mellon University, told me in an email today that Apple includes the carbon impact of those who use their products in their calculations and that the carbon impact of their own facilities means almost nothing.
"I wouldn't view their footprint getting bigger as an indictment on their activities," wrote Matthews. "I don't know of any of their peers that has made such substantial investments in renewable energy in the hopes of even partially offsetting the footprint."
In spite of the efforts the company still has a long way to go. Even if Apple reported the 10 percent decrease the reports says it achieved if not for the stricter accounting measures, the company's carbon footprint would have increased by 200 percent since 2009, the first year Steve Jobs publicly revealed its imprint: 10.2 million metric tons of carbon emissions.
"We have a long way to go," Jackson wrote in a statement published today. "But we are proud of our progress."

In Part 1 we covered only a small fraction of the "leadership PAC" contributions currently propping up the 2nd quarter numbers of Bachmann. Yet, for all of this attention and media coverage (most of which is with outlets far away from her district) her latest FEC report reflects a candidate being propped up, not by those in her district or even those in the corporate world but rather, by the helping hand of over 40 leadership PACS and campaign committees of ultra-conservative candidates across the country. These groups typically seek to help candidates in vulnerable districts and not candidates in areas deemed safe. Perhaps this swell of support from her … Continue reading

EMO 1 and EMO 3 are designed to be mounted on thermostatic valve bodies and are installed in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems in conjunction with corresponding controllers, e.g. Thermostat E. Even with strict requirements for precision or with process controlled systems with high severity, optimal results can be achieved.
The EMO 1 proportional actuator is designed for connection to temperature controllers with constant control response, e.g. Thermostat E 1.Four different models are available to respond to the particular output signal and control task: Control voltage 0–10 V; 10–0 V; 10–2 V (d.c. voltage). The actuator, in conjunction with an external resistor, can also be connected to controllers with a current output signal (0–20 mA, 20–0 mA, 20–4 mA).The maintenance-free actuator functions quietly and draws very little power.The compact body is made of highquality plastic and covers the motor, gears, travel recognition and an integrated microprocessor control system.It may be installed on TBV valves, thermostatic valve bodies and three-way valves. Adapters enable the mounting of thermostatic valve bodies of other manufacturers. The electrical connection is made via a 3-core earthed cable.
The EMO 3 three-point actuator is designed for connection to temperature controllers with a 24 V AC three-point output, e.g. Thermostat E 3.The three-point actuator EMO 3/230 is designed for connection to temperature controllers with a 230 V AC three-point output, e.g. boiler control systems (mixing control with e.g. three-way mixing valves). The actuators are maintenance-free. They work quietly and use very little power. The compact body is made of highquality plastic and encapsulates the motor, gears, and magnetic coupling. The magnetic coupling guarantees a non-wearing transmission of the motor torque as well as an optimized pressure power which is adapted to thermostatic valve bodies.It may be installed on TBV valves, thermostatic valve bodies and three-way valves. Adapters enable the mounting of thermostatic valve bodies of other manufacturers.The electrical connection is made via a 3-core earthed cable.

Six Flags eliminates front-of-line for disabled visitors
Written by Robert Niles
In an effort to eliminate abuses by visitors faking injuries and disabilities to cut to the front of ride lines, Six Flags theme parks are now offering disabled visitors reservation return times instead of a free pass to the front of the queue. (Think FastPass/FlashPass/Universal Express, etc....)Tweet
The upside is that guests with disabilities still don't have to wait in a queue, which might not be wheelchair accessible. The downside, for them, is that they lose immediate access to rides. What is unclear is whether the return time will be equal to the current wait time for the ride, or for a later time during the day. Readers, what have you heard?
An article in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram quotes a mother of two autistic kids about the policy:
She said they went to a ride, booked a time to return and then left.
The policy went into place earlier this month at all Six Flags theme parks.
Readers' Opinions
From Robert OGrosky on September 19, 2007 at 11:49 AM
I think this is great!!!!!
At my local SF park I seen people abusing the system on every visit so anything that cuts down on people scamming to get on rides sooner is a very good policy.
Now only if disney parks would not let people abuse there system to skip ahead in line.
I dont want to sound overly crass, but if kids or adults cant handle some waiting in line then maybe a theme park visit isnt for them.
Ive just seen way too many people abuse these systems and then later laugh about it among themselves as they exit rides or walk in the parks.
From Judy York on September 19, 2007 at 9:22 PM
HURRAY! It's about time. I've seen so much abuse of this practice it's enough to make your head spin. For the mother with autistic children, have a family member go to the ride without the child and get the fast entrance pass. This way the child will not see the ride to become so upset. Another practice that really grinds me are pregnant women....I wasn't aware that pregnancy was a disability...I also thought that it was a matter of choice. I've seen women who are not even showing yet acting like they are on their last legs.. maybe they should wait until after the baby if they can't tolerate the event or just take it a little slower. Then there are the older folks (of which I am one) and the people that should walk to get exercise to help get rid of a "few extra pounds"....well I could go on for hours here.. Again HIP HIP HURRAY... lets hope some of the other parks pick up the ball!! Hey wouldn't we all like to get to the front of the line...except for the Make a wish or Give kids the World I don't see why they should have special permission to jump in front of anyone else. I know there are a few exceptions but like I stated...a few...not every case.
From Claudine Deshaies on September 19, 2007 at 4:38 PM
I'm guessing they won't let another family member go in to get the pass because then they can't see the actual person with the disability.
To cut down on people faking, why don't they just have an office at the front of the park (like where they hand out the Qbots) where a disabled person (w/ family or guardian) would go in and get a wristband or pass that they could use all day to get to the front of the line? That way, no one could just walk up and say "hey I have a disability" just to abuse the system.
Re: cutting due to pregnancy - Don't most rides say not to ride if you are pregnant?
From Betty Rohrer on September 19, 2007 at 6:49 PM
my daughter, son-in-law,grandsons and myself were at SFGA in NJ the weekend after Labor Day. i went to guest relations and was given a paper listing the rides that i could use special enter. to board. the paper was to be siged as i boarded and could only be used once for each ride. as we did the poplar rides early we did not have to wait. i have a bad knee that steps kill, wish all rides had the sloping ramps. i was never given a return time and was given a seat along with one guest with in a couple trains on the coasters we did. i liked the way the program worked for me.
From Chris Walton on September 19, 2007 at 7:43 PM
Yay! Finally! Make them wait like the rest of us.
From Missy Renee on September 20, 2007 at 4:52 AM
I feel that in most cases handicapped guests should be allowed ACCESS to rides whenever possible, in a safe and appropriate manner. But I do NOT feel that disabilities should allow guests the privilege of bypassing every queue in the park. I think the idea of a pass allowing the guest to return after a designated period of time equal to the approximate wait time, therefore avoiding the physical (or mental) demands of waiting in the queue, is very reasonable.
If you allow guests with disabilities to move to the front of the line, then you are faced with the daunting task of determining at what LEVEL the disability justifies this privilege. Is it necessary for the physically disabled, who may tire more easily? Or the mentally disabled, who perhaps become distressed by the enormous visual and audio stimulation that a theme park offers? It is at that point in determination that people are able to take advantage of the system.
This is a subject that is sensitive to me because one of my children has a disorder on the autistic spectrum. Granted, my child has a very mild form of autism, probably much milder than the parent in the featured article. But I have never considered his disability justification to move ahead in a line. If he has a day that he is not able to handle a theme park (or a shopping mall, or a restaurant...you get the idea), then we just go home, try again the next time, and call it a lesson learned. Over time I have learned to take measures to prevent meltdowns, but it will always mean more work on my part. My family should be allowed ACCESS to the park and to the rides, just like everyone else. But I don't feel that it gives me the right to have a shorter wait than the other guests.
In summary, I think Six Flags has made a wise decision.
From Erik Yates on September 20, 2007 at 9:33 AM
I'll play devils advocate here. Sure you have a few people abusing the system, but I think that Six Flags is really going to lose business by doing this. People with disabled children will simply not wait. Should they? Thats irrelevant, their disability prevents them from doing so. On the same token, Six Flags wants their dollar just as much as someone who is not disabled.

Well, they could just say wait in line!
From Robert OGrosky on September 20, 2007 at 10:54 AM
It isnt a few people abusing the system, it is numerous people intentionally abusing a system. If people have a disability that is "so severe" that they cant wait a resonable amount of time to get on a ride, then a theme park visit may not be right for them and they should return when they can handke it.
From Mike West on September 20, 2007 at 12:26 PM
Well folks, here's a little education, some here are more ignorant than others.(You know who you are).
Ignorant is far more polite a word than you deserve.
Let's address a couple of things.
Some disabilites are permanant. Who the heck are YOU to say that someone should come back when they are better suited.
Thank god you are not in a majority(thus the Americans with disabilities act).
Thank god, people like you are NOT deciding for everyone based on your selfish perspective.
The fact is that some people cannot manage the effort neccessary, let alone navigate the queue.
You're not better than them, or derseve more by any stretch of the imagination.
To say that anyone who cannot stand the rigors of the hot sun for hours on end because the are somehow weaker than you shouldn't ride, well no one should be wished that they have a loved one with a diminished capacity, but in your cases, a lesson really is in order. When it's your child, see how you feel.
A return time is fair.
We recently experienced a refusal for the return time because the ride was listed as one with a queue which was navigable by wheelchair. The ride manager perceived that as meaning that all disabled persons could wait in the queue. Many disabilities are not about a wheelchair, they are about a weakness which prevents being in a crowed queue for that length of time. If the person waits offsite in the shade & returns at the same length of time it would take you, what difference does it make? The ride was also actually turning a woman away who's husband had cancer. When should he wait until to return to the park in your opinion? As a ride lover should you deserve less as of the day you are diagnosed?
Are you actually envious of persons who are disabled, for whom everyday is a greater struggle, because they are being given simple access to a ride?
Shame on you!
Do you really think that no one should get fair access because some people abuse the system?
I'm glad you are not my children, for I certainly would have failed to produce a human being out of you. Even worse is that you don't even see the ugliness in what you believe.
From Larry Zimmerman on September 20, 2007 at 1:55 PM
I am NOT ignorant - I believe in being inclusive, but if someone is so disabled as to require a wheelchair, then perhaps they shouldn't be riding the attraction. READ THE WARNING SIGNS! Suppose the car hangs at the top of the lift? Who's going to risk their lives to get them out of that situation? I'm not denigrating the ride workers - they have a hard enough job for darn few dollars as it is...but they shouldn't have to play Super(wo)man to rescue someone with not enough sense to avoid potentially dangerous situations. Ask the ride operators at SheiKra about the evacuation lift...
From Anthony Murphy on September 20, 2007 at 9:40 PM
Oh wow! Relax everybody!
I also do not think anybody is ignorant on this site. I think that we have all seen, including myself, people who take total advantage of it. Funny, its mostly at Six Flags. Also, if there is such a problem with them waiting in line (if thats the only option) then take it up with Guest Services. I am pretty sure they can accomidate that special request individually.
Oh and name calling on the site is not nice at all! Let everybody be entitled to their opinion without more or less saying they shouldn't be born or a failure to humanity.
From Robert Niles on September 20, 2007 at 10:23 PM
When I was an attractions host at Walt Disney World (1988-91), Disney's policy, as explained to me, was that "wheelchair parties" (as they were called) had no inherent right to skip the line. When possible, they were to go through the regular queue. Where not possible for a wheelchair to navigate the queue, the person in the wheelchair, plus an attendant, were to wait at load for the rest of the party to come through the queue.
In practice, we hated having wheelchair parties gumming up the works waiting long periods on already crowded load/unload platforms, so we just sent the whole party through with them and loaded 'em immediately. But that did lead to a public assumption that the policy was that wheelchair parties got a free pass.
Now, there were, and are, cases where a person's disability leaves them unable to handle long queue waits. In those cases, if we were making the "wheelchair parties" wait, then someone with the party would have had to explain the situation to a lead and convince him/her to let them through. Which, if you presented a stereotypical autistic-looking kid in a wheelchair (or were wearing a Give Kids the World or Make a Wish button) was usually pretty easy to do.
From rick stevens on September 21, 2007 at 12:24 AM
I must say that I have been on the receiving end of a group with disabilities. I did feel as if I was taking advantage of the situation, but you have to realize that everyone wants to keep their party together. I don't think there is a magical solution to this since no one will be happy with any of the scenarios.
I have friends who have children with various "special needs" and I really do understand that these children are not capable of standing in a line for a significant time. In the past these families would have to just skip visits to amusement parks. I applaud the industry for helping all of those in need to experience the thrills of going to Disneyland, Magic Mountain, Knott's, or any of the parks around the US.
I think that we have become a bit desensitized to the situation because we see large groups of people misusing the privilege. I don't think a teenager in a cast really needs to be allowed (with a huge party of friends) to go to the front of the line just because they are using a wheelchair. If people would not take advantage of the loopholes in the system, the people that really need to go to the front of the line would not be seen as a pariah.
From John Smith on September 21, 2007 at 6:45 AM
at magic mountain, i would see many guest abuse this system that were not disabled. on the card, they would try to get a come back time on every ride right away. i would always point to where it stated on the card that only 2 active reservations could be made at one time. i would tell them they could ge a time for this ride after one of the other ones was completed, or i could cross one of them off and give them a time for this ride.
From Matt Thompson on September 23, 2007 at 6:06 AM
I have to admit that I was at one point guilty of abusing the system. I have a cousin with a severe vision disability accompanied by a learning disability. We often took advantage of this to jump the line at theme parks. The problem lies in the fact that it wasn't just myself escorting him onto the rides, but everyone who was with us that day...ALSO...in reality none of his disabilites inhibited his ability to wait in line just like everyone else. Why am I telling you this?? For one, I was young (in my teens) ignorant and arrogant. In retrospect we have probably made problems for other guests by adding to their overall wait, we probably slowed the overall capacity of the rides for the day and we have probably broken up groups who planned on and put the work into riding together on certain coasters.
I no longer practice this..and I apologize to anyone who has been delayed by anyone doing this. When I see it happen in parks I really don't have the right to get mad, but it is easy to see who the abusers are. I, for one, am glad to see some parks gaining some control.

My husband also started following a Marriage Facebook page. I really don't know how long he has been following until he recently shared it with me. The messages it shares are very inspiring and thought provoking. I encourage all married couples or those about to get married to check out this facebook page to glean some great information. Here are a few examples:
Strive to be a source of joy and not a source of stress for your spouse. Be an oasis they want to escape to; not someone they want to escape from.
Every marriage faces difficulties, but don't let those difficulties become an excuse to quit. Walking away from your spouse because your marriage is hard is like walking away from your children just because parenting is hard. Fight for your marriage in the difficult times and never give up on each other!
If you're married, then the word "my" needs to be replaced with the word "our". Your possessions and even your problems now belong to both of you, so share the joys and also share the burdens. Don't claim ownership; claim partnership
If you live to please people, you'll end up frustrated. If you live to please God, you'll end up blessed
And a fun Ecard:
Salish Lodge and Spa in Snoqualmie. It's located at the top of Snoqualmie Falls, which is a destination for many visitors. There are 2 dining areas at the Salish. The Dining Room, more formal, only serves brunch during summer months so we opted to go to The Attic Lounge. We got there early enough that we were able to get a window table overlooking the falls. It's a lounge, so their lunch menu isn't that big. Lots of small plates and appetizers to choose from, though. For an appetizer I really wanted to try their Salish Seafood Chowder, but today they didn't have any. Seemed odd to me, since they just opened for the day and too soon to be sold out. Instead, we chose the Mt. Townsend Cirrus ($11). It came with brie, grapes, honey fig preserves, la panzanelle crackers, and some nuts (marcona almonds?) Yummy, Yummy! It was a small platter, enough for only 2 people. We love brie cheese and the figs with preserves was a great combination with the crackers.
They have wood-fired pizzas baked at 900 degrees. DH ordered the Fennel Sausage Pizza ($16). It came with roasted garlic and cured black olives for an added punch of flavor, otherwise it tasted bland. The crust was nice and crispy.
I ordered the Artisan Ham Sandwich ($15). It came with mornay, stone ground mustard, and brie on a toasted artisan roll and arugula salad on the side. The brie was melted and gooey. It was a really good sandwich and the arugula was refreshing. Iced tea was $4 a glass. Yikes! Should have stuck with water, but it was good tea. We were so stuffed that we opted out of dessert. I planned to make dessert for DH anyway. Something with key lime, since that's one of his favorites. I didn't plan very well. I would have liked to do a key lime cheesecake or pie, but those require overnight refrigeration and I needed it today. I found a recipe for Key Lime Cake on AllRecipes and chose to make that.
We really enjoyed our lunch at Salish Lodge. The view was amazing from our table. It was our first time dining here and it's very pricey, but lunch is more affordable. When they start serving lunch in the Dining Room (after the summer months) I would like to go back, since that menu looks like it has more to offer. We will try their dinner menu one of these days, it looks really good too.
This Key Lime Cake was really good and very simple to make. It really took
care of my husband's key lime cravings.

MLB Network's Hot Stove Analysis of Cubs
For those of you who may have missed it Tuesday night, MLB Network's Hot Stove had a segment where they analyzed the Cubs' offseason and where they feel that the team is compared to where they were entering the playoffs last year. Some of the key points that were brought up:
Key Additions: P Aaron Heilman, P Kevin Gregg, IF Aaron Miles, OF Milton Bradley
Key Losses: P Jason Marquis, P Kerry Wood, IF Mark DeRosa, OF Jim Edmonds
Addition by Subtraction?
The question brought up was whether or not they put back more than they lost. The guys on the show all pretty much agreed that their was a big question mark in the middle of the infield and around the backup situation for Ramirez and Lee since DeRosa was traded. Obviously, Hendry feels that Miles is a good replacement for DeRosa's versatility and I would have to agree. DeRosa was average at best at all of the positions he played last year. He wasn't a gold glover at any position which was obvious so I think that Miles can easily fill the role. Offensively, Fontenot, given a similar number of at bats, would have performed very similarly to DeRosa in almost every catagory, so Fontenot could end up replacing DeRosa's bat. The one thing that wasn't replaced however, was DeRo's locker room presence. What affect will this have? I am not sure, but what I am sure of is that I will miss him when the media starts turning to guys like Soriano for post game interviews. UGH!
5th starter and who's in center?
This is funny actually because when you look back a year ago they were asking the same questions. This was obviously before Dempster had a good spring training and a career year. The only thing that really is different about this year is that there is only one spot in the rotation guys will be competing for and we have two guys who can hit in the majors (well...kinda) competing for the starting CF job. The guys on Hot Stove made a quick reference to these positions, but pretty much brushed past them feeling that they are big question marks that Hendry and Pinella will need to address come spring training. I, however, don't feel that this is the case. CF is going end up being a straight platoon like last year with Fukudome taking the place of Edmonds and I am content with that. The 5th starter job will end up being a competition between Heilman and Marshall. Pinella doesn't seem to be a fan of Gaudin, so I consider him out. At this point, you could flip a coin with Heilman and Marshall. Who knows? What I would like to see happen (and also is the likely scenario) is to have Heilman as the Cubs' 5th starter will Marshall being the swing man. This would make the most sense because it would give the bullpen a second lefty and provide insurance in case of a needed day off (Harden) or injury (Harden). This scenario would leave Shark in AAA getting ready to become a big league starter. Stashing Shark away for a few months would be huge for the Cubs if...and this is a big IF...Harden stays healthy and pitches like he did in the second half last year because he would be a VERY valuable trade piece at the deadline. It's too early to speculate on July trades, but in a perfect world, it would happen.
And finally...
Hothead vs. Hothead
Now that Milton Bradley has signed with the Cubs and is being looked upon to balance the Cubs' lineup, people are waiting for Lou and him to go at it much like Big Z and Barrett. You put two historically explosive guys in the clubhouse together you can expect some fireworks, but for some reason, the guys on Hot Stove don't think so. And the odd part is...I agree. I think that Bradley will be great for the Cubbies and for their clubhouse. They need to lose that "You blew the game, but it ok, you tried your best" attitude that they seem to have. Bradley is the man to light that fire and really give it to someone when they lose a game they should have won. Lou seems to have lost his edge in his old age (sorry Lou) and I think that MB is the guy to bring that back. I see this becoming the Kobe Bryant/Phil Jackson love affair for baseball. But...I could be wrong and we could see Bradley break Pinella's jaw for taking him out of a game. Either way, I'll take him.
All in all, I think the offseason hasn't been that bad. It really isn't much different than last year. I mean we signed our big name lefty to play right field, we have questions surrounding CF and the fifth starter spot, and we were glued to our computers waiting for that big trade to come through only to see our Trade-O-Meter stay at Nuh-uh for 90% of the offseason. I am sure Hendry still has a few minor things up his sleeve, like he always does, but if the season were to start tomorrow, I would take this team even with the question marks...and so should you.
Sounds about right. I think
Sounds about right.
I think Heilman is this year's Dempster. I don't know why I expect lightning to strike twice with this reliever-to-successful-starter conversion, but everything I've read online suggests to me that Heilman has the repertoire to start.
I heard the same
From what I was reading on the link from MLBTR, he seems to have a hell of an arsenal. I think that if he can play with confidence and gel with the rest of the team, he will be another Dempster. And I would take that over Peavy and his back loaded contract.
Agreed. I'd also rather the
Agreed. I'd also rather the Cubs sign Sheets for two or three years, rather than Peavy for four.
Well, wait - I've been
Well, wait - I've been saying all along that the Cubs should play to win this year. So to be consistent I'd prefer Peavy over Heilman.
But I do see how this deal might work out better. Peavy does have an injury history himself, does have an ERA deflated by pitching at Petco, and would be ridiculously expensive. And maybe Peavy actually would have ended up costing multiple big-league pieces. Who really knows.
It would make sense to give Heilman the first crack at being the fifth starter in the rotation. If he were to fail in the role he can quickly and easily be transitioned to the bullpen, and then the same process could be repeated with Gaudin - with Marshall waiting in the wings serving in long relief and spot-start duty. It makes sense to keep some of the younger arms (Smardjz, Marshall, Hart, Guzman) out of the picture for the early part of the season. Most of those guys likely wouldn't be able to give the team 150-200 innings starting at the MLB level right now anyway, so it makes sense to bring them into the equation a bit later to preserve their innings and prevent fatigue towards the end of the season. I would much rather see any one of those younger guys come into the rotation in late May or early June and be able to pitch through the end of the season, with Heilman or Gaudin taking the starts in the early part of the season. The team has an enormous amount of depth to cover the 5th spot in the rotation, and as result the guy that's there in April doesn't necessarily still have to be the 5th starter in September and October.
Gaudin is younger than
Gaudin is younger than Marshall.
But, Gaudin has also thrown 199innings in a season before.
I would give Gaudin the second shot behind Heilman because I view him much the same way I do Heilman. I would like either one to get the starts early in the season, and if neither works out in the role they can both then be shuffled down to the pen. I personally, would value all of the other younger or more inexperienced arms a little more than those two as starters in the long-term, so I would be in no rush to put one of the younger guys in the rotation in April. This is a debate that really centers on Rich Harden's health, because if Harden isn't healthy then both could conceivably land in the rotation to begin the season.
Am I the only one that
Am I the only one that thinks Heilman is pretty much the same guy as Howry???
Bob Howry has no value
Bob Howry has no value because he is terrible. He is a pitcher with a LaTroy Hawkins-repertoire', which consists of nothing other than a hard fastball with little command. Heilman has a good assortment of quality pitches, and he's a pitcher not a thrower. When you see Heilman's slider, changeup, and other secondary pitches he shouldn't be anything close to a reminder of Bob Howry. Howry and Heilman each had poor seasons in their own right, but Heilman is a pitcher still capable of putting it all together while Bob Howry continues his all-too slow transition to a batting practice pitcher.
Joe Torre said he's still
Joe Torre said he's still pretty sure Kershaw won't start the season with the .... If he is truly ready for major league ball, he should light up AAA, and the Dodgers can bring him up later in the season as either a starter or reliever.

Sushi Ichiban
I've rushed past this restaurant on busy Macleoud trail numerous times. I recalled visiting it way back in 2005 (the year before I left for Japan) for their all you can eat sushi. I don't recall being overly amazed at quality but also don't recall being completely turned off.
In any case, between buzzing from class to class and studio to studio. I decided to meet up with the man to have their lunch special which I scoped out online.
The price is fair with lunch bentos starting at $10.95. They have a long list of menu items and you have your choice of two plus miso soup and salad. If you want to pick teriyaki steak or sushi, additional $0.50. If you want to pick sashimi, I believe it's $1.00 extra. I believe the price is still fair especially given the portions. The yam tempura was 50% off the two days I went back. Making it only ~$3.
The service is incredibly fast and efficient. Near the end of our meal, we felt a bit rushed to leave. The restaurant was busy but not full with no line-up. It didn't ruin the experience but felt uncomfortable after being asked ~5 times if we were done and wanted things packed up. I can only attribute it to how restaurants run in places like Hong Kong where people for the most part eat and want to leave. Not socialize. The temperature of the restaurant is pretty cold and my only real complaint would be that my food got cold pretty fast because of that. Maybe the Kate-o-pillar has to work on eating faster! Haha.
In any case, the tonkatsu was wonderfully fried without being too thick with batter. The teriyaki steak was incredible. Not pictured, but the second time back the chicken kushi was amazing with the tempura batter giving it a crispy texture. The sushi, soup and salad were pretty standard for lunch bento boxes… Actually, I would liken the quality and taste to that of Globefish minus the hike in price for their overrated sushi.
Would I go back? Yes, for a quick, easy, delicious and cheap lunch. :)

One of the questions I am asked most is how to filet a flounder.
I do try and go over that each year, but with our fluid population there are always newcomers who need help.
When you compare flounder to other fish -- well there is just no comparison.
Almost completely flat and more round than long, the lowly flounder will never win a beauty contest. They are a mottled brown color on top with the down side being very white. Small fins run around the entire length of the body. The very large mouth of a flounder is impressive with a row of sharp canine type teeth, but of course, the most distinctive aspect of the fish is the two eyes on the same side of its head. That is a trait found mostly in science fiction movies. All of that ugliness is soon forgotten when you sit down to a plate of flounder filets.
Firm, white flesh lacking in the Omega 3 oils that gives other fish that "fishy" taste leaves the flounder ever so mild on the palate. People who do not eat fish will usually eat flounder. Commonly featured in restaurants, the flounder is the darling of any seafood chef. It adapts well to any sauce or cooking method and a bit later we will touch on some of that.
Right now, lets talk about the cleaning. It always bothers me to see fishermen wasting flounder because they don't know how to filet them. They are almost all meat and have their organs conveniently bunched up right behind the head.
To clean, lay a flounder flat on a table (there is no other way). On the brown side take a knife with a sharp tip and cut a straight line right down the center of the fish. Depending on the size of your fish, the knife will go in from a quarter to three eights of an inch. Once you have a nice center cut down the length of the flounder make a diagonal cut from that line to the top of the fish's head. Now once again using the point of your sharp knife begin to peel away the filet by running the tip of the knife down the center line and slightly angling toward the top of the fish. Once you have it through, remove it and run your knife between the skin and the meat to yield your filet. Repeat that on the other half of the top side. Now turn the fish over to the white side. Many anglers ignore the white bottom, but there is good meat to be had there if you take your time. Treat the bottom of the fish just as you did the top and you should end up with four nice filets.
Lightly breaded and pan-fried, the delicate flounder meat is tasty by itself, but I like mine with lemon or a little vinegar. Don't over power the fish with heavy sauces. If you are a regular reader of this column, you know the driving force that constantly sends me into the river is stuffed flounder. To make that dish you will need to buy a small can of picked crabmeat. That comes packed in water and you should put the entire contents of that can into a bowl with seasoned breadcrumbs. Mix it until you have a paste and then "butter" one filet about a half inch thick with that paste. Place a second filet on top of that and sprinkle with paprika or any spice you like and place in the broiler for about 20 minutes. While that is cooking make sure your windows are closed or you will have the whole neighborhood knocking on your door.
My, oh my, what a treat! Serve with melted butter and cold beer and your life will be made. Just remember, when it comes to flounder, don't be put off by its appearance. Behind that ugly countenance hides a thing of beauty.

Notes on Italo Calvino's Time and the Hunter 2
I'm on the last few pages of Time and the Hunter now. When I read Invisible Cities, there were a few passages that reminded me of Kevin Lynch's concept of imageability1 , as defined in the book The Image of the City. There have been several such passages in this book as well. The first one was in the chapter "t zero," which is the shortest story I've read, in the sense of how much time passes. The scene is perhaps a savannah, and the entire story concerns a single moment of time, with a hunter with a bow, a lion suspended mid-air, and an arrow recently fired.
The hunter reflects on why he recognizes this particular situation. It is not, he thinks, due to a reference to a previous hunting experience. "Every lion we encounter in our brief life is different from every other lion; woe to us if we stop to make comparisons, to deduce our movements from norms and premises."
Here's a long quote from pages 97-98:
If I say this moment I am living through is not being lived for the first time by me, it's because the sensation I have of it is one of a slight doubling of images, as if at the same time I were seeing not one lion or one arrow but two or more lions and two or more arrows superimposed with a barely perceptible overlapping, so the sinuous outlines of the lion's form and the segment of the arrow seem underlined or rather haloed by finer lines and a more delicate color. The doubling, however, could be only an illusion through which I depict to myself an otherwise indefinable sense of thickness, whereby lion arrow bush are something more than this lion this arrow this bush, namely, the interminable repetition of lion arrow bush arranged in this specific relationship with an interminable repetition of myself in the moment when I have just slackened the string of my bow.
I wouldn't want this sensation as I have described it, however, to resemble too much the recognition of something already seen, arrow in that position, lion in that other and reciprocal relation between the positions of arrow and of lion and of me rooted here with the bow in my hand; I would prefer to say that what I have recognized is only the space, the point of space where the arrow is which would be empty if the arrow weren't there, the empty space which now contains the lion and the space which now contains me, as if in the void of the space we occupy or rather cross – that is, which the world occupies or rather crosses – certain points had become recognizable to me in the midst of all the other points equally empty and equally crossed by the world. And bear this in mind: it isn't that this recognition occurs in relation, for example, to the configuration of the terrain, the distance of the river or the forest: the space that surrounds us is a space that is always different, I know this quite well, I know the Earth is a heavenly body that moves in the midst of other moving heavenly bodies, I know that no sign, on the Earth or in the sky, can serve me as an absolute point of reference, I also remember that the stars turn the wheel of the galaxy and the galaxies move away from one another at speeds proportional to the distance. But the suspicion that has gripped me is precisely this: that I have come to find myself in a space not new to me, that I have returned to a point where we had already passed by. And since it isn't merely a question of me but also of an arrow and a lion, it's no good thinking this is just chance: here time is involved, which continues to cover a trail it has already followed. I could then define as time and not as space that void I felt I recognized as I crossed it.
This passage evokes a feeling of what happens as you try to find your way somewhere you have been before. Suddenly you just know where you are, although roughly, and in which directions other things are.
(I had this experience a few weeks ago when on a long walk around Djurgården in Stockholm. We approached from the opposite direction, in the woods, a place we have been to several times. First I was mistaken, when I saw a place that resembled another place close to where we were going. Then as we came nearer, I realized that this wasn't it. It was interesting how a similar configuration to that I thought I had seen could evoke such a strong feeling of certainty of location. When we finally came close to where we were going, and I saw another place, another configuration of terrain and trees, I had that same feeling again. And this time I was right.)
Note: Also see my first post on this book.

Bring it on, Karl baby. Bring it on, doughboy. Bring on your little whiteboard.Leading conservative Mark Levin on fellow leading conservative Karl Rove. The remark is emblematic of the civil war brewing in the GOP: On the one side are pragmatists like Rove, who believe the Republican Party needs to nominate more moderate candidates in order to win elections; on the other side are idealists like Levin, who would rather see radical right-wingers lose elections than moderate Republicans win 'em. The Tea Party contingent of the GOP is outraged at Rove's newly-unveiled Conservative Victory Project, which seeks to intervene in Republican primaries to make sure that would-be Todd Akins don't wind up with the nomination. source
If 2010 was the year the Tea Party cost the GOP several winnable seats, then 2012 could be the year Republicans' own candidates cost them control of the Senate.The Atlantic's Josh Kraushaar • Commenting on the slew of weak GOP candidates running for the Senate this year. Kraushaar makes a subtle but important distinction between now and 2010, when Republicans lost several winnable Senate seats by nominating weak candidates (here are two examples). In 2010, many of the candidates in question were insurgent Tea Party types who—to the chagrin of party elites—ran against establishment Republicans in the primaries and only gathered reluctant, late support from the party. This year, however, it's the establishment's own hand-picked candidates who are underperforming in polls. The first candidate profiled in the piece, 31-year-old Josh Mandel, is a good case study of why being young and sharp doesn't necessarily translate to political skill. A refreshing read for election buffs tired of presidential coverage. source (via • follow)
I want to apologize for being so late, I know that's not respectful of your time, so please accept my apology. We started out at about five o'clock in the morning at Fox and Friends and we've gone nonstop until the final stop at CNN a few minutes ago.Christine O'Donnell • Talking to the Women's National Republican Club in NYC on Wednesday night — a meeting she had apparently double-booked with the taping of "Piers Morgan Tonight" — you know, the one she walked out on after being asked a question about gay marriage. Sounds like someone made up a mini-controversy in an effort to get out of something. source (via • follow)
I have faith that our supporters and the general public will see right through these thug tactics. This is simply an Establishment trick to stop the anti-establishment Tea Party movement in its tracks.Christine O'Donnell • Regarding reports that the FBI is investigating her for election fraud. Protip: Have a second career besides being a candidate so you can ensure that you aren't spending campaign donations on rent and other expenses. It's wasteful, Christine. We like Wonkette's take on the matter: "Isn't it strange how a person who has earned no income over the past half-decade and yet is not living on the streets could be charged with any kind of financial fraud? Same old lamestream FBI bullshit." True 'nuff. source (via • follow)
I want to congratulate Conan O'Brien and his crew. They're back on television tonight. I don't know when… son of a bitch! They're on the same time as me. Now I'll never be able to watch me.Jon Stewart • Making a hilarious but well-placed commendation of Conan O'Brien's return to late night on last night's "The Daily Show." Letterman, George Lopez and Craig Ferguson also made some pretty good send-offs to the returning late-night host. Note that none of those guys are on NBC. Just saying. (On a side note, Leno's getting fellow pariah Christine O'Donnell later this week. Fitting?) source (via • follow)
