Vin in In for 2011!
What great news to start a Sunday morning…there has never been anyone like him and while I never say "never" when it comes to the future, it's fairly safe to assume that there will never be another like him in our lifetime.
He's not only the best at what he does for a living, but he's every bit as humble and kind as you would hope he would be. Welcome back, Vin. We're looking forward to a fruitful 2011 — hearing your voice and watching you "work."

Boo Yah! I can only think of three words to describe Vin…..
Simply the BEST!!!
Go Dodgers
Brox blows again!!!!!!!!
Best news I've heard in quite some time. LOVE YA VINNY!!!!
Tb4 ~ That is very good news. Especially for me as I have only been able to listen to Vinny on a regular basis since the advent of the internet. And I really love when he tells stories from the Brooklyn days and Ebbets Field.
�dgar Gonz�lez RP/SP Signed to a minor league contract by LA Dodgers
lol what more depth in the minor?
I didn't even know Betamit was playing for the Royals Avg .342 HR 7 RBI 24 Runs 20.
Wow the White/Sox series gone to 11th and 10th innings last night and now they had a 10th innings game.
oops that's White Sox/Royals game and I don't know how I made that mistake.
A wonderful day for the Dodgers, and a wonderful day for baseball! How lucky we are here on the West Coast to be able to hear Vin call a game throughout the baseball season. Let's all thank Vin and start winning for him! Win For Vin! Visit http://www.winforvintshirts.com to purchase your Win For Vin t-shirt and at the same time proceeds will be given to ThinkCure! to find a cure for cancer!
Oldbrooklynfan – thanks for the photo link on the previous thread. Great pictures!!
What wonderful news I heard yesterday about Vin Scully staying. I was listening to Ken and Josh on the way home from So-Cal yesterday, and other than the usually complaints about the team, it was good to hear all the wonderful things about what was being said about Vin Scully.
That is great news…Vin will be BACK! I'm glad Frank didn't cut him out of the payroll. Vin doesn't want to depart in a bad season. So I'm sure (HOPE) 2011 will be a better Dodger Season! VIN YOU ARE THE BEST!
BEAR – Yes I think I heard Vin say that too…LOL.
Now the big question is 'WHO WILL MANAGE THE DODGERS?" Torre???
Why am I'm not shock that everytime a pitcher goes on the phanton DL when the pitcher have a bad last games? It look like the belated bday boy Weaver was activated yesteday and Schlichting was placed on the DL.
As far as I can see, Manny hasn't hit anything.
Yet more positive news:
The Bums won't lose today!
Time warped eh?
Nice to see they care about the blogs so much they've fixed that problem also.
Terrific pick-up in Barajas. Surely he'll save our season. Sadly, even he's an improvement from Manny, Moe & Jack. (the Poop Boys.)
Is the entire front office so delusional that they're still stupid enough to be buying? They could get some damn good prospects right now for Lilly, maybe a middling one or two for Manny, and some good ones for Kuroda. Its the opportunity of a lifetime to replenish the farm with guys you'll only have 1 more month anyway.
But I forgot, that's what a real baseball club would do.
And we don't have anything like a real baseball club.
Dylan Hernandez……..
Baseball source confirms that Manny still hasn't hit the waiver wire.
lol Damon claimed by the Red Sox really.
It looks like, of course, unless we go on a wild winning streak, which I highly doubt, Manny along with several others will be waived. So much for "buying".
Testing, testing….just want to see what ITD Time Zone I'm in right now.
Thank you Vin!! I'm thrilled you are coming back and you have cast a huge ray of sunshine on this disappointing season!!!!

I'm with you Beav!!! If you can get something for them to stock our farm, it is time to go for it.
I wish we could unload Blake and Furcal!!!!
Now JoJo, just don't blow out Kuo chasing a lost season. Brox blows right now and I would trade him for a couple of top drawer prospects!!!!
Hey Jhall!!! Gnats happening to be playing the Reds, which I am currently watching. It is 5-2, Gnats 😦
Hi'Ya Nelly!!! How are you and yours tonight? Hope all is well!!! The Reds aren't quitting and I think they can still make this game interesting. Unfortunately, when we get behind, I don't feel that way.
Make that 7-2 now.
Yep, Jhall!! The Reds are definitely getting it done this season. As much as I wish the Dodgers were in contention for the playoffs, it is cool seeing teams like the Reds, the Rangers and I know, but even the Padres kind of make the experts not such experts. Nobody predicted any of these teams to do anything, and it was quite opposite with the teams such as Seattle and Boston who were predicted to do great things.
jhall ~ we are doing well, and yourself?
Put the whole damn team on waivers, then keep Kershaw, Bills, Loney, Ethier, and Kemp. Big Jonathon? Need to sleep on that one. Maybe for a change the Dodgers could squeeze some poor sap team for a couple good minor leaguers…maybe even a catcher!
Glad to hear Nelly!!! Doing well myself!!! Thanks!!!
Hi'Ya Kahli!!! Yep, I'd waive the whole damn' bunch except for Billz, Kersh, Carroll, Kemp, Kuo, Loney, and Ethier!!!
It's really a mute point as long as the McCourts are allowed to hold onto the team!!! The house cleaning needs to start in the penthouse!!! There's a foul odor eminating from the owners box!!!!
Get a viable ownership, and alot of the other pieces will fall into place!!!!
Hey Wally & Mom!!
The hills have been relatively quiet lately.
Jeez – that only took 45 minutes to post.
And timewarped at that!
From what I've read, no catcher has ever come back from the type injury Martin has, so thanks to Ned trading away the only two viable replacements over the last couple of years for crap, next year's catching corpse (no typo) will be Ellis and ???. Not that we want Martin back anyway – I sure don't.
Gonna look good with a banjo hitting catcher, a decrepit 3Bman, a shortstop that'll be lucky to play half the games, 3 starters short of a rotation, and assuming Pathednik stays (and why would he?), another crappy LFer that can't hit nor field. And that's not to mention the bullpen, a crappy 2Bman, and an underachieving CF and IB.
Hell, let's bring Torre back. He deserves that group.
SEH!!!! This is just driving me nuts!!!
Kahli/Jhall – I like Jonathan too much to give up on him yet so I understand the feeling of having to sleep on that one. I think with the right coaching alot of our bullpen pitchers would be doing better than what they are. That is one aspect of the game that I am just not understanding……………..why our young pitchers are not doing so well? They are regressing instead of progressing, and it just isn't right. I agree with keeping Billz, Kersh, Carroll, Kemp, Kuo, Loney and Ethier. They were talking yesterday on the radio about Lilly, and they were saying that he would love to stay in LA, but the Dodgers won't be able to afford to keep him. So, it will be a Wolf, Garland issue all over again, but I am not saying anything we don't already know, am I? LOL!!!
I am ecstatic about Vin coming back for 2011. Read why @http://www.neontommy.com/news/2010/08/dodgers-are-fortunate-have-vin-scully-back
Hi'Ya Beav!!! I agree with you on Martin!!! Hell', he was toast last year!!! The outlook is indeed bleak for next year!!! Go Pirates West!!!!!
Hey brownpaperbag!! Always fun reading what you are thinking. How are the hills these days?
8-2 gnats 😦
"The assumption is that Don Mattingly is heir apparent to replace Joe Torre, but AAA manager Tim Wallach is looming as favorite," so says Bob Nightengale. Lordy, I hope so!
I have heard about Wallach too. I am hoping it's true because that would be a much better choice IMO.
The gnats got Cody Ross today off the waiver wire. Not sure why they need a 7th outfielder (according to my hubby who was thinking of all the outfielders they have), but hey, who am I to judge. I am guessing somebody is losing their job tomorrow and being sent back down to AAA orrrrrr they have a phantom DL too.
Nevermind – they sent Matt Downs down to AAA.
enchanted, I see the Dodgers being pretty good next season. 2010 was just a bad year. Too many big things went wrong, like Manny's disappearance and Tiger's divorce…I mean Frank's divorce………………….
Did anyone seen that Rangers/Twins game? Harden was pulled with a no hitter in 6 2/3 innings and thrown 111 pitches and the Twins only manage 1 hit and that was Mauer and guess who was behind the plate in that game? Yeah you probably guess it Jim Joyce.
The top lawyer from the commisioner's office is prepared to testify that Frank has sole ownership of the Dodgers according to mlb baseball rules.
Appears the good old boys are gangin' up on Jamie…
I'm thinking Stewart said those comment to make Kemp look bad.
Not that I'm after Josh's job or anything (wait, what's the salary?), but I just submitted a request to Guinness.
It's occurred to me (and I think I've mentioned it here at least once) that there cannot be too many people on the planet that have:
Worked more than 60 years at any job.
If there are a few who have worked for more than 60 years, there have to be even less who have:
Worked more than 60 years FOR THE SAME EMPLOYER.
If there are a few who have worked for more than 60 years for the same employer, there have to be even less who have:
Worked more than 60 years for the same employer DOING THE SAME JOB.
And if there are just a very few who have worked for more than 60 years for the same employer doing the same job, there have to be even fewer who have:
4 – Worked more than 60 years for the same employer doing the same job WHEN YOU DON'T OWN THE COMPANY OR ARE RELATED TO ANYONE WHO DOES.
It's supposed to take 4-6 weeks to get results. Regardless of how it comes out, it'll be interesting to see what the record is if Vinny doesn't own it himself. Hopefully Guinness will take me more seriously than Selig. Haven't heard anything back from them.
THAT was a great idea Dodgereric!!!! I can't wait to find out what that result is.
Anyone see the tripe JoJo was spewing a couple days ago about September call-ups being unfair? (Of course they took THAT article down already.) Its unfair that crappy teams can call up as many minor leaguers as they want. Its unfair that AA and AAA players could knock you out of a pennant race. Yada yada yada. This from a manager and GM tandem that manipulate the DL everytime a pitcher has a bad game.
In fact, everything's unfair to JoJo this year – September call-ups, the schedule, the kids don't "get it." It seems to me that this is a guy who doesn't want to shoulder any of the responsibility for this season's disaster, though he's the author of much of it. "Its not my fault" should be printed across the back of his jersey. Could go right along with Ned's "It's not my fault" nameplate on his desk.
Tell you what I'd really like to see is a headline for Frank here in a few weeks reading, "Its not my team [anymore.]"
Unfortunately Bear, "common sense" and "upper management" are mutually exclusive terms on this club.
If we're lucky……
Well, this team used to play well all year long
It don?t no more, I don?t belong
The fans all seem to hate me, that's no lie
Table's turnin' now it?s my turn to cry
Because I used to own it, but it's all over now
Because I used to own it, but it's all over now
Well, she started runnin? around, in limos with surround
We spent all that money, playing our high class games
She put me out, it was a pity how I cried
Table's turnin' now my turn to cry
Because I used to own it, but it's all over now
Because I used to own it, but it's all over now
I used to wake up in the morning, get my hair cut at home
Then I got worried she was workin? another dome
But now she's takin? me for $200K a week
Sure is lookin? like my ownership is bleak
Because I used to own it, but it's all over now
Because I used to own it, but it's all over now
Because I used to own it, but it's all over now
Because I used to own it, but it's all over now
We can dream can't we BTPM1 🙂
Think we have to keep in mind two things with DeWitt – his numbers will be inflated playing half his games in Wrigley, and for the most part other than Wainwright and Carpenter, he's facing Central Division pitching. That said, I'd still take DeWitt over Thidiot any day of the week.
The only way we come out ahead in that whole deal is if Ned flips Lilly for some good prospects.
Hell COULD freeze over – couldn't it?
Another HR's by Dewitt this time in the lead off spot last night.
He was call up as a 22 years old back in 2008 probably why he was hot than struggling the rest of the way but there was no reason to trade for Blake that year. Dewitt should've had the job last year before we sign the O-Dog.
I think it's "e", jason. I think he'll roll around naked in it.
Some nice shots of Vin over the years:
What will Frank McCourt be doing with the money saved (4 mill) when Manny is hitting bombs for a AL team come playoff time?
a. yacht repair
b. jaimie
c. credit card bill
d.zack lee
e. none of the above
The solution is clear, for 2011, we're done this year so let's look forward. The McCourts are both declared insane or irrelevant by the court and therefore have to sell the team, Manny gets traded or claimed off waivers Monday by the White Sox, the same day Joe Torre announces he'll be back for 1 more season. OK, so this may be wishful thinking, but the McCourts really are insane or irrelevant.
lineup: Theriot 4 Ethier 9 Ramirez 7 Loney 3 Kemp 8 Belliard 5 Carroll 6 Barajas 2 Lilly 1
Jason – Put me down for "e", also. But I think he will squander it on something stupid – let's say a consultant to do a $4 million study on putting up a football stadium next to Dodger stadium. $4 Mill down the drain with nothing to show for it.
Jason put me down for "E" too. I think he will hire another Witch Doctor to see if the BOSTON-GURU is doing him wrong. Or give himself a raise!
I'll take "A'….then Frank can go on his yacht for a permanent fishing trip!
I guess Damon had a no trade clause and didn't want to go back to Boston.
It is being rumored that Manny has been picked up on the waiver wire from none other than the White Sox. Manny, JP and Andruw all together again 🙂
Hi ITD
First I'd like you to know how happy I am that Old Vinnie Boy will be staying at least another year, I wasn't ready to let him go.
Well another game tonight and another chance to tack on another win.
Hope "the Giglio" (Lilly) can keep his streak going, Wasn't he fantastic in his last start? I wish we could keep him.
The Dodger need 18 more wins to finish at least .500, I hope they accomplish that.[IMG]http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii148/Joepierrephotos/062709JO080.jpg[/IMG]
I've been happy we've had Manny, but I think he's finished in the N.L. now.
That why Bills should never had gotten booed because of that calf injuires.
Weeks Batting 1st 119 493 83 135 26 4 23 73 53 139 7 4 .274 .365 .483 .848
Weeks in the 1st spot have 23 HR's 73 RBIs and have more rbi than Fielders and he has 1 more rbi than Loney.
Kemp just hit the scoreboard for that homerun.
Wow!!! At least for tonight, Barahas is a hell' of a pick up!!! Way to go!!!! Anything from the catcher position is a welcome surprise!!!
It's good to see Matt hitting them out.
Barajas looking like a good aquisition so far. LOL!!!
Nice start for Barajas… when he hit his homer, I was looking at my computer and thought that Lilly had given up a 3 run home run. I'm glad I was mistaken and Lilly can get another win… I hope!
That was 447 feet.
Barajas looks like a heavy set Teixeira
I guess Lilly was due to get roughed up a little.
Do you believe this?
Looks like it took Barajas all of 6 innings to pass Ausmus in RBI. Next up, Ellis.
You don't think he could pass Martin do you?
A.J. Ellis and Brad Ausmus combined for 3 XBH in 133 PA this yr (all doubles); Rod Barajas does it in 3 PA, with a HR!

WTG Dodgers, shutting them down after we take the lead.
Just the same, I don't want a 35-36 year old starting catcher next year.
lol geez no he didn't.
You can put Manny on waiver now.
That inning looked like a flashback to '08 or '09.
WTG Belli.
I am stuck watching the gnats game on tv. They are already up 3-0 in the 2nd. They got Cody Ross kind of hoping they wouldn't. They picked him off the waiver wire, thinking the Padres were going after him, but they got stuck with their 7th outfielder. He is working out though. He had a off the bench hit last night and has a hit and an RBI already tonight.
That what happen to Gibbons making his 1st out with the Dodgers on a k's. Good dp there Belliard.
I see JoJo just HAS to get that Pathednik/Thidiot combo together every game some how.
LOL Beav!!!
JoJo has a poop fetish!!! And with Manny, its a soap fetish!!!
Think you're right Wally. Manny's the total soaps.
Somehow I don't think Kuo's cutout to be a closer.
I think Manny and all of his soap will be with the White Sox before weeks end.
That would be terrific Tru!!!
BPB1 ~ somebody said they heard it has already happened. Wanted verification.
Neither does Broxton and Dotel lol
Lilly 5-0 – strike while the iron's hot Ned.
Way to get yourself out of trouble, Kuo!
Hong Shi says….
I hope we get 2 more pitching prospect from them if Manny does go to the White Sox.
Enchanted – they aren't going to be able to keep Lilly for next year. He will cost too much for what Frank is willing to spend as we all already know.
Why did the Giants get Cody Ross? I was thinking Rowand would've been on the phantom DL.
I can see if they was going to block the Padres but do they know the Padres was going to pick him up?
Shad – the gnats were trying to avoid the Padres from getting him, but instead got stuck with him (not that getting stuck with him is a bad thing).
That's what I mean Nells – deal Lilly now while he's hot for some good prospects.
Doubt they'll get anything for Manny except not have to pay him what's left of his contract.
The only thing I can see is an upgrade over Venable but I doubt the Padres want to mess with chemistry.
WooHoo, win streak!!! Nice job Lilly and Barajas!!!
That's what I meant too enchanted. I was just trying to reitirate what you were trying to say, but it didn't come out like that, and there is no do-overs on ITD once you hit the submit button – LOL!!! If that were so, I would be doing them quite often 🙂
Shad – I doubt the Padres are going to mess with anything either, but the gnats GM was thinking they might so he tried to be sneaky and got caught with an extra outfielder instead. The fans are too happy with the move, but I am sure they aren't griping too much at the moment seeing how they are winning 7-2 against the Reds (make that 7-3, Phillips just hit another solo shot).
Jhall – It's all about the little things now. Take pride in the wins when we get them and hope for the best 🙂
In the gnat game just now……………….the bullpen pitcher for the gnats who was warming up just picked up a fair ball. The argument is if that were a fan, he would be thrown out of the ballpark. What happens when one of the players does it? Should he be kicked out of the game as well. Well, it's 7-5 now………… Sanchez is leaving the game :)) GO REDS!!!!
Well nothing wrong with that one and they have to be very careful.
Ned doo's all over everything.
All of the position players are have been used in the Phillies game, Howard got thrown out and Oswalt is playing left field. Too funny!!!!
I'd immediately protest the game as a precautionary measure.
Good evening all! I've been very irregular here as life has kept me very busy, but all is well. I'm glad to see a win tonight, and see Barajas do so well. Hey, I was wondering if anyone has an idea of who is going on the tour? Has nelly taken roll? 🙂
Wow Howard must've been mad and got ejected Oswalt is now playing LF and Ibanez moved to 1st.
I just saw that too tru. LOL!!!
Now Gload is ejected.
lol ibb Victorino with the 1st 2 guys out strange but not surprise when Oswalt was hitting next.
Oh n/m it was Herndon
uggghhhh!!! 10-5 gnats 😦
Okay – Where were these Reds pitchers when we were playing them? blahhhh!!!
Damn Reds I agree
lol Leake 6 ER's and I thought he was supposed to be good.
Jeff Fulchino pitching for Houston HOU PHI
B Schneider grounded out to second. 4 2
J Rollins struck out swinging. 4 2
P Polanco walked. 4 2
C Utley intentionally walked, P Polanco to second. 4 2
R Oswalt grounded out to third.
hahahaha I remember when Bochy ibb Bonds with the bases loaded.
If i'm not mistaken the Padres was ahead in that game.
Dylan Hernandez comes across some interesting things people think and say….. This is part of a conversation he is having with Joe Torre about suggestions people make to him about the Dodgers.
Joe Torre has been approached by someone who wants him to be to the Dodgers what Nolan Ryan is to the Rangers.
hmmmmmm………………..if he can't manage them, maybe he can own them.
From another article……………
The Dodgers owner, in town for the unveiling of a statue of Commissioner Bud Selig, says 'the guys are fighting [and] I'm proud of them,' but declines to discuss his divorce, his spending on players ? or anything else.
Questions about his upcoming divorce trial, the future of Dodgers ownership and the team's willingness to spend for new players remained off-limits.
But Dodgers owner Frank McCourt, in town Tuesday to help celebrate the unveiling of a statue of Commissioner Bud Selig at Miller Park, agreed to take one question from a reporter concerning the team's performance.
"It's been a frustrating season, there's no question about it," McCourt said. "But the guys are fighting. I'm proud of them for that reason."
In my quest in looking for some mlb news that I thought was interesting but couldn't (which I still haven't found yet), I came across this on facebook late last night/early this morning (I know………….but I couldn't sleep), but it wouldn't post for whatever reason, and it wasn't the usual SEH that I am used to. Anyhow, just know we are not alone in our thinking or beliefs on what is happening to our beloved Dodger Organization. This is a comment/post that is written by a Dodger fan that goes by Blue Rising Lasorda.
5 days from now we take our protest to the streets. 5 is to honor DEE GORDON, #5 for The Chatanooga Lookouts. He is The Dodgers top prospect in the minors and every day I wake up in fear that Frank has given him up in a trade so he won't have to pay someone's salary. Branch built The Dodgers in a very different and unique way- thr…ough a groundbreaking minor league system and MONEY SPENT TO SIGN AND DEVELOP PLAYERS. This tradition has sustained the Dodgers greatness for years. The great Dodger infield of the seventies all started out together in Spokane. Now the evil lizard carpetbagger from Boston has slashed money and gutted our system…taking us from #1 to #26. How long until he gives away Dee Gordon because he doesn't want to pay some corpse of a relief pitcher's salary?!? His ten year plan was to slash payroll and double ticket prices…how can you do this in the second largest media market in the country with record breaking attendance? Well, the major league documents leaked this week show that there is real money to be made in baseball by slashing prices and doing just enough to get by. This is what happens when you sell a team to a guy with nothing but a parking lot. We must blame Bud Selig for allowing this to happen. It was disgusting seeing Bud Selig get a statue today. It was very lifelike…the only thing it was missing was blue blood on his hands and steroid needles under his shoes. Enough talk! in FIVE days we take it to the streets and I hope we all get to see Dee Gordon play in blue heaven on earth under a new owner that cares about building a winner from the ground up in The Great Dodger Way. PROTEST. AUGUST 30th. THE COURTHOUSE.
36 errors (Dee Gordon) don't lie do they Bear? Neither does a .280 avg. and a .330 OBP.
I'm more than willing to give him a couple more years in the minors to develop, but bring him up now? Don't think so.
Speed, but no power or D – sounds to me like he'd probably make a better outfielder.
Ah, wait a minute…
Today may be the farewell of Manny…he is likely to be put on waivers.
I can just see McCourt in his huge office at Dodger Stadium, sweating at the desk with a fan on..Looking like Mr. Burns, rubbing his hands together as he is hopeful his assets are claimed off waivers for millions of dollars… He'll spin around in his chair like the Emperor in Return of the Jedi and say to his son…As you can see, my young apprentice, your friends have failed. Then morph into Sauron, etc
I wasn't posting the comments to promote Dee Gordon. We all have our favorites, both in the minors and the big club. It was more about what other fans are thinking of our team and what it has become because of the current ownership. I think our thoughts as a group of Dodger fans (from the casual to the fanatical) that without a change in ownership, we are screwed for not just this year and next, but perhaps many years to come.
Not going to get any prospects for him either unless McCheap eats some salary, and that has all the likelihood of spontaneous human combustion.
Thank God though we have Posednik to take Manny's place.
Yes, that's heavy sarcasm.
I'm hoping Gordon is the next Reyes.
Just remember Gordon is only 22 years old give him a couple of more year first. I'm a little bit dumb and have him in our starting lineup by 2012. I've heard that Jeter had something like 50+ errors in the minor.
Wow Sands was drafted in the 25th round in 2008 and already have 33 HR this season and hit 15 in Double A in only 213 AB's. Well let see what he can do in Triple A.
lineup: Theriot 4 Ethier 9 Ramirez 7 Kemp 8 Blake 5 Loney 3 Carroll 6 Barajas 2 Kuroda 1
It's done….Manny on waivers.
"Jon Paul Morosi of FOXSports.com reports that Dodgers outfielder Manny Ramirez finally hit waivers on Wednesday afternoon."
Only problem is that we're only dumping more salary here. No way we're getting any prospects for Ramirez. Oh, we might get a minor leaguer or two, but they won't be a "prospect". That is, unless we eat money. And we know that ain't happening.
Sorry Nells, I was commenting on the commentor about Dee Gordon. I think they we're a little overzealous about Dee right now.
And its a fine pedigree Dee would come from when talking about farm developed SSs: Offerman, Izturis, Hu, DeJesus Sr., Guzman, Castro (I'd add Landestoy, but I think he was 2B.)
This club doesn't exactly have a reputation of developing worthwhile young shortstops in the last three decades.
They are now saying, Kuroda, Poopsednick, Casey Blake and Jay Gibbons were all put on waivers too.
Is that Joel Guzman?
No worries enchanted. It was more about me clarifying myself.
It will be interesting who gets picked up off of waivers.
I seriously don't think Hu really had a chance to prove himself since I remember he had a problem with his vision when we sent him down.
E – Thank you for putting "spontaneous human combustion" and "McCheap" in the same sentence. We can always hope.
Someone please claim Blake and trade him asap but they probably won't bring up Mitchell when the roster expand.
Dang Braves I thought you guys would score more than 10 runs since you were up 10-1.
Such a hitter park in Coors 10-10.
Sherrill refused his assignment to get sent down.
You're welcome Crash.
And they said it couldn't be done…
BTW, how many times a day must I sign in without ever signing out? I must sign in 5-7 times a day. Sometimes I'll hit submit when it says above "Thanks for signing in… now you can comment", and it kicks me straight to the sign in page. Sometimes though if I just hit the back arrow without resigning in, it'll let me post what I was going to.
Then of course there's the wonderful "cannot display this webpage" that'll pop up when the page is trying to reload whether there are 3-4 posts or 500-600 on the thread.
Can someone pull their head out long enough to fix this blog once and for all?
JOSH – I invite you sometime in the offseason when you have a free evening to join us here as a poster (anonymously is fine), just so that you can see what it is we go though on a daily basis. Maybe then you'll be able to relate to the powers that be who are supposed to fix these things exactly what's happening.
I think he can be flat-out released without his consent, but if claimed, the Dodgers can pull him back and trade him. For THAT, they'll need his consent. Which will probably mean more $.
…….and don't forget that just because they've been put on waivers that it means they're gone. Sherrill is still here.
Shad, I am not surprised by anything the other clubs do but I am certainly disappointed at what the Dodgers have not been able to do this season. The magic from last season wore off a long time ago. Last season the Dodgers won a bunch of games in the late innings, many in the last at bat. This season they have lost a ton of games in the late innings or the opponents last at bat. Last season the bullpen played a pivitol role in the team's success while this season it has played a pivitol role in the team's lack of success. I said at the beginning of the season that I was not going to let the ownership issues be a distraction but with the team's struggles, it has been almost impossible to focus only on the team.
It certainly does look as if this season belongs to the Padres and possibly the Giants. At this point all I can hope for is that the Dodgers come out ready to play every day and hopefully can get some momentum and end the season on a high note. Maybe the Dodgers can make a run, maybe not. Maybe they can derail the Giants and keep the orange out of the playoffs. We will see.
e, that's an excellent suggestion.
I think so, too, E!
Hello ITD!
Exellent idea Eric about checking about the Guinness record.
If you re reading this, I just sent you an email about a job opening here at work for an associate Tax Accountant. Not sure if it's too far for you. I just happen to see it on the board. I sent you an email too.
You kidding me. The Rockies and Giants going to sweep the 2 teams that we couldn't sweep if the Giants hold the lead.
lol SF must be a bandbox.
Its simple shad – The Giants and Rox are better than we are.
The Rox aren't better without that stadium.

Dodgers' last-place stint a distant memory
Confluence of events -- and Puig -- led to remarkable run to first place
The Dodgers spent 55 consecutive days in last place earlier this season, and somewhere down the road -- say, October -- that may be the most remarkable piece of trivia about this team.
At the moment, they're a baseball team without a single significant weakness. Among the numbers:
• 32-8 since June 22.
• 15 straight road victories before Tuesday's 5-1 loss in St. Louis.
• 10 straight victories in one-run games.
Last place is a distant memory. After needing 95 games to get above .500 for good and 98 games to climb alone atop the National League West, the Dodgers have sprinted to a six-game lead, second-largest in baseball behind the Braves' 14 1/2-game lead in the NL East.
"We have so far to go," Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti cautioned Tuesday afternoon.
No argument there.
Still, it's a remarkable accomplishment how far they've come. It's a tribute to Colletti's patience and to manager Don Mattingly's leadership, and to the energy of a kid outfielder.
It's a dozen different things coming together, including some very basic ones. When the Dodgers were lousy this season, there were reasons. Outfielder Matt Kemp has played 62 of 112 games and is on the disabled list for the third time this season. Shortstop Hanley Ramirez and outfielder Carl Crawford have each been on the DL twice.
Ramirez, who has batted .356 since the 32-8 run began, started just three of the Dodgers' first 56 games. He injured his shoulder falling into the stands on Sunday, and the Dodgers are holding their breath he'll only miss a few games.
Right-hander Zack Greinke got hurt in his second start and missed five weeks. The Dodgers were supposed to have so much starting pitching that we wondered during Spring Training what they would do with it all.
On Opening Day, they had eight veteran starters. Within three weeks, they'd used nine starters. Given all that, the Dodgers were a mess for a few months. On June 21, they were 30-42 and 9 1/2 games out of first place.
Among the smartest things President and CEO Stan Kasten did was nothing. That's right, nothing. In the tough times, they continued to believe in their original blueprint.
Rather than fire Mattingly -- and there were plenty of people who wanted them to do just that -- they took a deep breath and saw their club in the context of the whole season.
"Look, we just had to exhibit patience and get healthy," Colletti said. "Patience is one of the toughest attributes to have. It's so important. If you make decisions too fast, you're going to make mistakes. We thought if we could get healthy, we'd get better."
He probably couldn't guess how much better. One by one, players returned. Ramirez and Crawford. Greinke and second baseman Mark Ellis.
And they became respectable. And then more than that.
"I'm pleased with how we've stayed with it," Colletti said. "I'm pleased with how our extra players stepped up."
He mentions Nick Punto and Jerry Hairston and Skip Schumaker and Scott Van Slyke.
"Those types of players are always going to be in the background, but they really kept us steady," he said.
Another thing.
"[Andre] Ethier moved to center field when Matt went out," he said. "We weren't sure what to do there. He was game for the challenge."
Little bit of this, little bit of that. Oh, and there was that 22-year-old outfielder. Yasiel Puig made his Major League debut on June 3 in the Dodgers' 56th game of the season.
There's no way to completely quantify his contribution. He has played with such energy and joy and passion that it impacted virtually every player in that clubhouse. He plays recklessly, too, at times.
"He plays with -- I'm trying to find the right words -- reckless abandon," Colletti said. "I don't know if he understands what the warning track is all about. He seems to run into the wall pretty often."
He has also put up fantasy league numbers: .373 average with 12 doubles, 11 home runs and a 1.024 OPS. The Dodgers are 37-18 since he arrived, and as Vin Scully said during one game, "It's not supposed to be this easy."
"He gave us energy and passion," Colletti said. "He also kind of parallels with us getting healthy."
Still, it begins with pitching. With Clayton Kershaw and Greinke at the front of the rotation, Dodger starters are 22-7 with a 2.72 ERA during the 32-8 run.
Ramirez and Puig have put up tremendous offensive numbers, but contributions have come from every corner of the clubhouse.
One of the questions about the Dodgers was how so many new players would mesh into a cohesive unit.
Mattingly has helped make that happen with his steadiness and consistency. But veterans like Adrian Gonzalez and A.J. and Mark Ellis have helped, too.
The Dodgers have come together so dramatically that Colletti said, "The last six or seven weeks, this has been the best clubhouse I've ever been around. They stay together. They pick each other up."
As Colletti said, there's still work to do. Considering how much money ownership spent and how high the expectations were, the Dodgers have accomplished nothing.
But they've gotten our attention.

Swim across Sound tests body and souls
Andy Davis, of Fairfield, has swum solo in past Swim Across the Sound events. He has also been part of four-person relay teams.
This year's crossing from Port Jefferson, N.Y., to Bridgeport will be special. The Fairfield man will be part of one of the first two-person relays across Long Island Sound, and his partner will be his 14-year-old son, Gannon.
There's just one concern.
"It'll be the most grueling," Andy Davis said. "My son is going to be competitive with it."
You'd better believe it. Gannon, 14, already has a goal in mind for Saturday.
"We're trying to win," the younger Davis said. "It's the first year for two people, so if we win, we'll set a record." This is the 22nd Swim Across the Sound Marathon, raising money and awareness for St. Vincent's Medical Center Foundation.
The Davises will be among around 200 swimmers who'll set off from Long Island in the morning. At around 12:30 p.m., a little more than 15 miles from where they began, the first should arrive at Captain's Cove in the Black Rock section of Bridgeport.
"The best part is you can't wait to finish. You can't wait to see all the people," Gannon Davis said.
This will be the third swim for Gannon Davis, who'll soon enter ninth grade at Fairfield Ludlowe High School.
"It's been a lot of fun, but really tiring," Gannon Davis said. "You don't really notice it when you're doing it, but you feel it when you go to bed." His father, 46, will be on the water for the sixth time. He has taken part in three relays and made two solo crossings.
"Solos are a tremendous challenge. They require a lot of training, more mentally," said Andy Davis, an executive recruiter for Smith Hanley Associates of Fairfield.
"A solo is 25k of what I consider, if you're in shape, a brisk walk. A relay is different. In a relay, you're racing. Although you're not swimming as far, it's a difficult challenge."
Ansonia's Greg Kohut and Matthew Anderson make up another two-person relay. Robert O'Boyle, of Fairfield, is half of the third; O'Boyle had been set to solo before teaming up. There are 15 solo swimmers and 23 relays signed up.
The Davises have been together on relays but are particularly looking forward to this one.
"It's just an opportunity to swim together," Andy Davis said. "A relay's a little more complicated; too many moving parts." Gannon Davis swims at the Westport YMCA. That's where Andy Davis first heard about plans to form a relay team in 2003; he thought it would be an interesting challenge.
"I draw a lot of motivation from my son, who's a good swimmer," Andy Davis said. "Plus, I have a history of heart attacks in my family, high blood pressure, cholesterol. For the fitness thing,' having a goal is what gets me in the water."
Gannon, one of four brothers, drew inspiration from watching his father. "I wanted to do it with him and help needy people by raising money."
It's mostly for St. Vincent's, Andy Davis said. Several family members have been treated there and treated well there, both for cancer and for other maladies.
Swim Across the Sound provides cancer screenings, support groups, wigs or prostheses, even financial assistance for those in need.
"I think it's a great cause," Andy Davis said. "The cancer center does nothing but good things for people."

With the less-than-stellar James Cameron's Avatar: The Game serving as the only current example of 3D stereoscopic gaming, you might be surprised to hear that the future is indeed bright for the display technology. Insight Media has just released a report predicting big things for 3D stereoscopic displays, estimating that over 40 million displays using the technology will be on the market in five years.
Gaming will actually be one of the biggest factors in the predicted popularity of stereoscopic displays, as lead analyst Dale H. Maunu stated "Our experience leads us to believe that S-3D gaming is more immersive and compelling than traditional gaming on a 2D screen, and it will help drive 3D adoption."
And to quell the inherent fear consumers have for every new display technology, 3D stereoscopic displays won't make you blind, as Maunu asserted "We have played Stereoscopic 3D games for hundreds of hours and can report that the latest technology does not result in eye strain or fatigue."
Gaming Market to See Three Dimensional Growth Says Insight Media
NORWALK, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Insight Media, the recognized leader in Emerging Display Technology Market Research, says that the stereoscopic 3D market is poised to grow from a handful of 3D-capable displays and a few thousand gamers, to an expected worldwide market of over 40 million 3D-capable displays by 2014. The results were published in Insight Media's groundbreaking 2009 Stereoscopic 3D Gaming Report: A Comprehensive Analysis of S-3D Technology for Gaming.
"We have spent considerable time on our forecasting methodology and believe we have created something that is truly groundbreaking," noted Chris Chinnock, President of Insight Media. "Our forecast approach is unique in its transparency; we provide all of the underlying assumptions and details that went into creating the forecast. After reviewing our forecast methodology, one of the leading display makers in the world called it, 'the most compelling forecast methodology we have ever seen.'"
For the report, Expected, Optimistic and Conservative forecasts were created for 3D-capable displays, with a second forecast that estimates how many of these displays are used by gamers. Forecasts for each of the following were created:
-- Monitors; x-pol, LCD Page Flipping, Two Panel and Active Retarder
-- Laptops; x-pol, LCD Page Flipping, OLED Page Flipping, LCD Active Retarder and LCD Autostereoscopic
-- Televisions; x-pol, LCD Page Flipping, PDP Page Flipping, OLED Page Flipping, Active Retarder and DLP RPTV Page Flipping.
-- Projectors; Page Flipping (DLP, 3LCD and LCOS).
"We have played Stereoscopic 3D games for hundreds of hours and can report that the latest technology does not result in eye strain or fatigue," noted Dale H. Maunu, lead analyst on the report. "Our experience leads us to believe that S-3D gaming is more immersive and compelling than traditional gaming on a 2D screen, and it will help drive 3D adoption."

Comedian Dave Chappelle says he 'wouldn't even go back to Hartford for ... gas'
HARTFORD >> Dave Chappelle has struck back at Hartford five days after he was heckled at a show and refused to perform his set.
According to audio posted on TMZ.com, Chappelle praises an audience in Chicago on Tuesday for being "so much better than Hartford." He tells the crowd that if North Korea were to drop a bomb on the U.S., he hopes it "lands in Hartford, Connecticut."
To cheers and laughter, he says he "wouldn't even go back to Hartford for ... gas."
Chappelle was the headliner last Thursday in Hartford at the Funny or Die Presents The Oddball Comedy & Curiosity Festival, which is touring the country.

For the first time in quite a while we had a talk at NWRUG, it seemed to go well and the free Pizzas and Beer provided by Engine Yard were very popular. About 12 people turned up. I was the only speaker and did a 45 minute talk on Nanite with a brief introduction to cloud-computing as that's the environment I see Nanite being most useful.
Thanks to everyone who turned up and Engine Yard for the sponsorship. I promised a blog post with links to some of the resources from the talk, and here it is!
Useful links from the talk
Nanite (of course)
Kestrel (a starling replacement)
Warren (A wrapper around AMQP from brightbox)
As I mentioned in the talk you can probably get away with using third-party APIs and calling it 'cloud-computing', this set of slides is really interesting:
Web Hooks and the Programmable World of Tomorrow
Lastly the slides on SlideShare, though they don't make as much sense as they do with the talk & my notes.
Pastie: control rabbitMQ using Nanite, controlling god using Nanite.
Next Month
More talks! Asa Calow has agreed to do a talk on Solr and I rather foolishley agreed to do another talk on Sphinx.

Liberty Hospital laying off 129 workers
Hospital points to federally mandated healthcare changes in 2014
Liberty Hospital is laying off 129 workers, citing upcoming federal changes in health care and Missouri's decision not to expand Medicaid in the state.
In a news release, the hospital said it was looking for ways to cut expenses by $20 million. The layoffs represent 7.6 percent of the hospital's workforce.
"In 2014 the Affordable Care Act will reduce payments to hospitals from Medicare. Hospitals also will experience reduced payments due to the lack of an expansion to the Medicaid program and growing bad debt due to patients being forced to manage increased out-of-pocket costs in the form of deductibles, co-pays and insurance premiums. The healthcare reforms, which began affecting hospitals in 2010, already have encouraged hospitals to focus on fiscal responsibility and to find ways to balance revenue loss with patient care," according to a statement from the hospital.
The hospital said that the cutbacks are occurring through May 24. In addition to staff reductions, the hospital said task forces charged with looking for ways to cut 20 million from the budget recommended eliminating the hospital-funded transportation program and closing its wound clinic.
Employees described their reaction to the decision as feelings of anger and betrayal.
"I think it's a shame because, for some reason, companies think that's the first thing they do, they cut labor," said patient Barbara Womack.
"Making a reduction is never an easy thing to do, but I think we have to be smart about how we're spending that money and how were best serving the community," said hospital spokeswoman Julie Simpson.
She said the Medicaid decision leaves the hospital in a tough position.
"(Patients) will still be coming to the hospitals and physicians to receive care," she said. "Hospitals and physicians simply won't be paid for that."
Amy Stone worked as telemetry nurse at the hospital for eight years until she was let go Tuesday. She said she feels betrayed by the decision.
"I'm really saddened for my hospital, but i think it's more of a management problem more than anything else," she said. "It has to be."
Among the belongings she took with her Tuesday were letters of appreciation from patients she has treated at the hospital. She said she was sad as she collected her things to leave for the last time and worries about her patients.
"They're just not going to get the care they deserve," she said.

Long-time AIDS activist Martin Delaney is the founding director of the AIDS organization Project Inform. He is one of a group of prominent AIDS advocates who have responded to an article written by Celia Farber in the March 2006 issue of Harper's Magazine_. In the article, entitled "Out of Control: AIDS and the Corruption of Medical Science," Farber includes a sympathetic overview of the AIDS denialism movement, which claims that HIV does not cause AIDS and that HIV medications, not HIV itself, kills people. This message by Martin Delaney is one of many e-mails exchanged between AIDS activists in response to the Farber article._
To read other responses to the Farber article, and to learn more about AIDS denialism claims and rebuttals, visit aidstruth.org a site put together by AIDS researchers or browse through The Body's collection of articles.
People have been responding to Celia Farber's article for over a week. Several well-written letters have already gone to the editor [of Harper's].
The problem is that there isn't a single word that's new or previously unanswered in this ugly excuse for journalism. This is the same old crap that Farber has been peddling for years. She hasn't had an outlet for some time, but I guess she's been quiet long enough that there's a new generation of editors who are deaf, dumb and blind to the issues and who are thus susceptible to her message. As usual, she cites and quotes only the five or six fringe people, most of whom have been out of work for years and not one of whom has ever conducted a single page of actual AIDS research. These people are cranks, disgruntled losers who have been left behind by the tides of science.
The one thing that's different this time around is that Farber has managed to make a twisted weave of her usual denialist story combined this time with the threads of the tale of a disgruntled NIH [U.S. National Institutes of Health] employee who declared himself a "whistleblower" when he saw that he was about to be fired. He dredged up a pile of cheap shots that had been tossed at the Ugandan trial of nevirapine from several years ago, complaints which were little more than a reflection of the fact that running studies in contemporary African nations doesn't look exactly like running such trials in the high-tech world of the NIH. Some things weren't written down properly; paperwork isn't as precise as computer work; a team running studies for the first time lacks the precision of people working on their 20th or 30th major study. Scandal! Horrors! Poor Africans are being abused by the rich white doctors and profit-hungry drug companies!!! The whistleblower opens a Web site entitled "Honest Doctor."
Give me a break. Even Hollywood doesn't get quite this bad. The fact is that the study in question has been reviewed and re-reviewed up the ying-yang and has been declared sound, ethical, and critically important for slowing the transmission of HIV to newborns.
So what to do with Farber and her band of loonies? Succinct, point-by-point rebuttals have been done over and over and over again. I've done several myself. The NIH has done them. Other activists and doctors have done them. There is virtually nothing new to say. The success of the drugs used to treat HIV is so dramatic, so well demonstrated that it is the envy of just about every other major unsolved disease out there. It proved that spending big dollars on treatment research really pays off. Next, it showed that spending more then greatly simplified treatment, making it possible today for many people's treatment to be reduced to as little as a couple of pills taken daily. Soon, it will be a single pill, and not long afterwards we can expect to see effective treatment taken just once a week or perhaps even monthly -- if the research is sustained. If there is a failure of research, it is the lack of concentration on an outright cure. And, of course, the failure to come up with a vaccine, and the failure to make these treatments available worldwide.
Whatever the weaknesses of AIDS research or the failings of the pharmaceutical industry, they are none of the things cited in Farber's absurd tome. The woman has had her head buried in the sand for so long that she hasn't the faintest idea what is happening in the lives of people with AIDS. As Larry [Kramer] says [in an earlier e-mail], there is indeed still a major problem, but it is the problem of the continued spread of the disease and the continued failure to make the benefits of the last 20 years of research available to all. When someone dies of AIDS these days who has had access to therapy, we understand why and how it can be prevented.
That's a huge, profound change from the agony, pain and uncertainty people faced in years past. The issues raised by Farber and her three stooges are a complete and utter diversion. Follow her, listen to her, and we will head right back to the disastrous conditions of the late 1980s and 1990s. One cannot help but wonder what their real motive is, since their primary activity is to try to turn people away from the things that have been proven to work, while supporting nonsense that has been left behind.
Yes, I hope Larry is right that there might be a way to turn around, though it won't be found in Farber's words. It will be found in concentrating on the major tasks that lie before us: developing a vaccine, stopping the spread of the disease by all reasonable means, and making sure that the tens of millions presently infected with HIV have access to the great successes achieved by science in the last 20 years.

Four dates — Feb. 7, March 31, April 15 and Nov. 4 — should be on advisors' radar as they are likely "pivot points" for events that could affect the markets, particular industries, and tax and financial planning, says Washington Update analyst Andy Friedman.
In his most recent white paper, Friedman lays out the importance of each of those four dates.
While Feb. 7 is the day when the federal government reaches its borrowing limit, March 31 is the deadline for those who don't currently have health insurance through their employer or under Medicare or Medicaid to decide whether to purchase coverage or instead to incur the penalty meted out by Obamacare.
Then there's tax day: April 15, which will be a bit more stressful this year for high-net-worth folks who will feel the effects of the higher tax rates on investment income. Nov. 4 brings midterm elections, when Americans will vote on all 435 members of the House of Representatives and more than a third of the 100 senators.
Also on lawmakers' minds this year is cybersecurity, which political strategist Greg Valliere says is the "new hot issue" in Washington. Hearings on cybersecurity are planned in both chambers this year.
While Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew recently warned Congress that the government would most likely exhaust its ability to borrow in late February, Friedman notes in his commentary that although the compromise reached in September allows the government to spend money through September 2015, the government is authorized to borrow to meet those expenses only through Feb. 7.
After Feb. 7, the government will be required to sustain itself without borrowing, which it will do for a few months using tax receipts and other funds, Friedman explains, but "at some point this spring the need to borrow will become acute. At that point Congress will have to act to raise the nation's borrowing limit. If Congress fails to do so, then the United States, unable to borrow to pay interest, will default on the national debt."
Friedman notes the two dates, August 2011 and October 2013, when negotiations to raise the debt limit came down to the wire before Congress reached agreement to avoid a default. "The same phenomenon could occur this spring. The partisan rhetoric already has begun."
While negotiations toward an agreement "can be harrowing, and the apparent lack of progress in the weeks leading up to the default date can rattle the markets," Friedman notes that he correctly predicted prior to the debt ceiling negotiations in August 2011 and October 2013 that "the markets, concerned about congressional inaction, would suffer a temporary downturn as the deadline approached."
Just as was the case then, Friedman says that investors should "look for similar buying opportunities this spring if Congress' partisan bickering rattles the markets and leads to a downturn. Because I do not believe Congress will allow the U.S. to default, the markets should come back once an agreement is reached." As for the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, an uninsured individual must purchase insurance by March 31 to avoid the individual mandate penalty. Shortly after that date, Friedman says that it should be clear "the extent to which young, healthy people in fact purchased coverage."
However, he says that "the early returns are not encouraging: Health insurer Humana has already announced that its enrollment mix in private plans sold through the federal website will be 'more adverse than previously expected.'"
Friedman counsels that those individuals that decide to incur the penalty "might want to adjust their tax withholding or estimated payments to avoid receiving a refund in the current or future years from which the IRS can collect the penalty."
April 15, when federal tax payments are due, will mean a bigger tax hit for some people. "The fiscal cliff compromise reached by Congress at year-end 2012, combined with the new Obamacare surtax on investment income, resulted in a significant increase in tax rates in 2013," Friedman notes. "For many investors, this rate increase can be as much as ten percentage points."
Taxpayers already have felt the effects of the tax increase on compensation and business income through higher employer withholding or estimated tax payments during 2013, Friedman continud. "But few taxpayers pre-pay taxes on their investment income. Instead, they will feel the effects of the higher tax rates on investment income on April 15, when they file their return or request an extension. Combine these higher tax rates with the greater investment income they earned in 2013 due to strong market performance, and many taxpayers will be facing severe sticker shock in a few months."
Then there's midterm elections on Nov. 4., which Friedman predicts will be a "spirited affair" marked by each party vying to hold onto one house of Congress and to win the other. While saving his predictions on the outcome for a later date, Friedman says that the results will indeed "affect Washington policymaking during the tail end of 2014 and the final two years of the Obama presidency."

I'm on a blood thinner (anticoagulant/antiplatelet) such as Warfarin - How does Vitamin K work with my blood thinner?
Warfarin (Coumadin) works by decreasing the chemical reactions Vitamin K makes in your body. This increases the time it takes for a clot to form. Hence, "thinning" your blood.
If you take Warfarin, you may need to limit and/or monitor your Vitamin K intake. This is because Vitamin K can affect how these drugs work.
Ideally you should consume the same amount of Vitamin K daily.
However, Vitamin K does not influence the action of other blood thinners, such as heparin or low molecular weight heparins (Lovenox, Xaparin, Clexane, Fragmin, or Innohep).
Can Vitamin K affect my INR?
INR stands for International Normalized Ratio. INR is a standardized way to measure how long it takes your blood to clot.
The lower your INR, the quicker your blood clots (the "thicker" your blood gets). Too low of an INR indicates risk for clotting problems.
The higher your INR, the slower your blood clots (the "thinner" your blood gets). Too high of an INR indicates risk for bleeding problems.
With an increase in Vitamin K, your INR could drop.
Alternatively, a decrease in Vitamin K intake may increase your INR.
As a side note, other things, like medications, antibiotics, and herbal products may also influence your INR.
What if I suddenly eat a food with a lot of Vitamin K?
If you are on a blood thinner like Warfarin (Coumadin) then you should alert your healthcare provider, because your blood thinner dosage may have to be adjusted to counteract the change in your body's clotting activity.
Where does Vitamin K come from?
Vitamin K is often found in food. Leafy green vegetables such as kale, spinach, and broccoli usually contain the most amount of Vitamin K.
Vitamin K is also produced by bacteria in your intestines and is contained in vitamin supplements.
Why is Vitamin K important?
Blood clots are formed through a series of chemical reactions in your body. Vitamin K is essential for those reactions.
Vitamin K is known as the clotting vitamin, because without it, blood would not clot.
Vitamin K increases the chemical reactions in your body needed for your blood to clot. The more Vitamin K you take, the more chemical reactions your body makes for your blood to clot. Hence your blood gets "thicker".
Also, some studies suggest that it helps maintain strong bones in the elderly.

Right now, Android tablet apps don't belong in the same conversation as the iPad. As much hardware versatility as Android tablets offer (and there are a lot of great things!), the app situation in droidland is pitiful. Sascha Segan at PC Mag took a closer look at the app situation and compared the same app on Android and iPad next to each other.
The difference? Segan likens Android tablets app to WAP browsers that look like a better fit for Razrs and dumbphones than a tablet app. iPad apps? Better than smartphone apps, as tablet apps should be. Check out Segan's full report here, where he compares more apps against each other. [PC Mag]
College Humor looks like a mobile website on Android and a full-fledged experience on iPad.
Not all Android tablet apps have to suck though! The CNN app on Android tablets looks just as amazing and arguably works even better than the iPad. Where's the stuff like this? [imgclear]

Current Theme Song (aka what's playing on my ipod right now): Katana by Justin R. Durbin.
The Archived Adventures!
Publishing capital of the US, the Statue of Liberty, and the most famous hot dog carts (that I know of), who can't help but love the city that never sleeps? This was my first time there ever, and you can tell I'm a little stoked about it. I was there for a day and a half and had four people's itineraries to fill. It was intense. It was crazy. It was amazing. We could only see our top two sites (luckily with everyone's, we got to see pretty much everything). Mine? The Statue of Liberty and the New York Public Library.
Waiting for the bus (and totally not ready for a candid shot)
Steam really does rise from the manhole covers!
Isn't that one of the most beautiful sites in the world?
My friend wouldn't get the camera off me, so here's me strutting my stuff, and getting really embarrassed about it.
The Carousel in Central Park!
Hot dog in Central Park. Dirty water hot dogs all the way. It was fantastic. It's the only way to buy a hot dog in New York.
Trinity Church.
Federal Hall. The history buff in me came out. This is where President Washington took his oath as the first President of the United States.
What is New York without its amazing street performers?
Just love this.
Make sure you see a Broadway show. I was skeptical. Not anymore. This one just barely opened. It was fabulous.
Oh, I love Japanese tourists, I really do. They all wanted a picture next to the New York street mountie, but they were all so afraid of the horse.
Here is my love and homage right back at the Japanese culture. ^_^
And my place I couldn't leave New York without seeing - the New York Public Library. I had to see those lions. I don't know which one is Patience, and which is Fortitude, but I think I was next to Fortitude.
Thank you for my small indulgence in sharing my adventure with you. And we totally watched Enchanted while getting ready for bed at who knows what hour. Times Square was amazing too. The bus ride there and back? Definitely an adventure in itself. :)
I HEART New York!

Juju - You KNOW who Patience and Fortitude are? You know their names? That's awesome! Do you live in New York Juju?
Sara - It was blast - run purely on adrenaline. No joke. I think I ate a hot dog and two slices of pizza the entire time.
Kirthi - you are so sweet, thank you. New York is a fantastic city. I highly recommend it. (When I saw the GentleMEN sign, I busted up laughing out loud in the middle of Central Park. It was so perfect. It's one of my favorite photos). Ah New York.
RkCharron - so good to see a new face! Thank you, and Happy Holidays to you as well!
Beth - I love those photos too. Like I said, I'm going to have to do a separate post for it. There is a small story behind it.
Vivian - that is one of the sweetest things you could say to me. I am so glad I come off like that. I really try to find joy all around me in everything (and joy is the exact word I use. Thank you for pegging it!).
Marjorie - Rock on to the manhole cover pictures! Can you send me a copy? :)

Horror movie staple Poltergeist is getting a remake, whether you like it or not. But before you chain yourself to the studio doors of MGM chanting "You moved the headstones but not the bodies!" take some solace in this little bit of news. Director Gil Kenan, who was behind the clever films Monster House and City Of Ember, has been hired to lens the remake. Plus, the film is being produced by Sam Raimi. Which, if Poltergeist is going to be remade, we're glad Kenan and Raimi are behind it.
