Give Braylon time, it could still blow up. And I think any player would be a malcontent thrown into that mess in Cleveland. But if TO wasn't an issue in the first year, he would be sooner or later. It's just a matter of time with that douche.Originally Posted by just-blaze

I eagerly await the FOLK HERO backpage after a GWFG next year.
Mo' Nut: One Smoove Brotha.
Jaret Wright's 2005 Cy Young Season: 20-3, 3.04 ERA
Per Cimini:
Rex Ryan showed up for his scheduled session with the media today at the scouting combined and delivered a 30-minute stand-up routine. He joked about his recent wardrobe malfunction at a hockey game ("I'm working on those abs") and addressed his unfortunate middle-finger incident in Miami. We'll get to that stuff a little later. For now, let's hit the football nuts-and-bolts.
Highlights from Rex:
1. VERNON GHOLSTON: He blamed Gholston's disappointing season on himself. Well, the coaches, really. He said the coaches did a poor job of using the former No. 1 pick.
"That's still a work in progress but I will say this: When we are going back
and looking at our cut ups and things like that, I think this young man deserves
a better chance than we are giving him," Ryan said. "We need to give him more playing time."
A noble gesture by Ryan, blaming himself, but let's be honest: This was just another way of talking around the truth, and the truth is that Gholston can't play. Ryan agreed that 2010 is a make-or-break year for Gholston.
2. THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES: Like GM MIke Tannenbaum the day before, Ryan offered what amounted to a eulogy for Thomas Jones, who is expected to be released.
"He is a great player, (but) there are tough decisions that our organization is going to be faced with," Ryan said. "So we have some time but clearly Thomas is an outstanding football player."
If the Jets were thinking of keeping him, he would've said so.
3. FUTURE JETS?: Citing the tampering rules, Ryan refused to take questions on Raiders CB Nnamdi Asoughma and Patriots LB Adalius Thomas, a former Raven. There's been a lot of Nnamdi-to-the-Jets buzz, and there's speculation that Thomas, an old Ryan favorite from Baltimore, will be released. If that happens, the Jets will be on him in a New York minute. Ryan loves Thomas, who also is close with Bart Scott. If they were to sign Thomas, you have to wonder how that would impact Bryan Thomas, who is due to make $3 million in salary.
4. THE SANCHISE: Ryan talked about how Mark Sanchez's late-season improvement will impact the offensive philosophy in 2010.
"We will still have a belief in the ground-and-pound system, but we may throw the ball a little more than we did last year," he said.
5. MORE SANCHISE: Ryan said Sanchez, recovering from knee surgery, is staying mentally on top of things.
"The thing I am really proud of with Mark right now, he is sitting in with our offensive coaches going over all the cut ups and everything right now," he said. "He can't work out with his rehabbing from his knee operation and things like that but he is in there and trying to find a way to get better. This really is his offense. He is trying to learn the defenses, the communication, whatever it is. I really think he is going to have a huge year for us this year."
6. THE MONOLOGUE: This is how Ryan opened his session. Vintage Ryan.
"I don't even know what to say, gosh, it's been a while since I get to talk about my football team, brag about my football team if you will. I appreciate everybody's interest in making sure that I was still in the papers and all those other things - the video. Hey, I am working on those abs a little bit I think (laughter).
"The problem that happened with that wardrobe… I was at the hockey game - and
first off all I would like to say USA, let's go take care of business, really proud of the way they are playing - but what happened, I thought I had the fighting strap attached to the t-shirt. Apparently I didn't. Big mistake. But I appreciate everybody having such a special interest in that."
7. SEXY REXY: A little later, he talked again about his ... um eventful offseason.
"I am watching ESPN and I'm like, 'Ooooh! That is not a real good shot,'" he said, referring to his exposed belly during a shirt change at a Carolina Hurricanes game -- prompted by Hurricane cheerleaders. "I mean, don't get me wrong, I get hit on all the time by women. But, nah, it is kind of funny."
8. FLIPPING THE BIRD: And, finally, on his obscene gesture to an unruly fan at an MMA bout in Miami.
"I mean, I got to be, regardless of the circumstances, I made a mistake and I
realized that," he said. "I have made a bunch of mistakes in my life. There is no question
about it. Just add that to a big list. But I've got to, I have to take responsibility for my own actions and I have to make sure I am doing the right things and I am trying to do the right things and avoiding making mistakes like that. I will learn from it, there is no doubt. I am no Boy Scout and I don't pretend to be. But I am certainly trying to mature a little bit more."

He was due a $3M roster bonus on March 9th. Any potential trade partner would have had to pay that as well.Originally Posted by PinstripePride
Don't tease me, you know what I do for a living.
Asomugha's contract is ridiculous. He didn't want to stay in Oakland before he signed it, and to get him to stay they gave him terms that are almost unbelievable. Although I'd LOVE to see it, it would be very difficult, if not impossible, for another team to take on the contract.

2010 Regular Season Record: 88-57
It's an uncapped year and if he wants to be a part of this team he can restructure it the way Pennington and Manning have in the past to help their teams. If the Raiders are willing to let us have him for anything less than an arm and a leg I don't think you can pass it up. You're talking about the chance to make it virtually impossible for teams to pass against an already top ranked defense. Can you imagine what Rex could do to teams knowing that both sides of the field are basically locked down? The opposing QB would have to be given a bible before the start of every game.Originally Posted by Snatch Catch
http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/blog?...26id%3d4938666Originally Posted by cyhughes22
The contract is totally whacked out, to the point that what a team would be willing to give up to acquire it would be almost nothing in comparison to what the Raiders are looking for.
Asomugha is scheduled to make a 100 percent guaranteed $16.59 million for the coming 2010 season.
As if that contract weren't problematic enough in a difficult economy, Asomugha has an $8 million roster bonus that is due on the first day of the league year -- next Friday -- meaning that a trade would have to be agreed to in the next 10 days and consummated before the Raiders paid that bonus. On top of that, Asomugha also has a $7.83 million option bonus due on March 19.
And what makes a potential trade for Oakland's Pro Bowl cornerback even more difficult is that, after his contract expires following the 2011 season, Asomugha's team is forbidden from franchising him -- or it must pay him the average of the top five quarterback salaries, which this year would be $16.4 million.
But in the coming months, new blockbuster deals are expected for New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning and New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady; this means the price to keep Asomugha beyond 2011 will be astronomical.I'm not arguing any of this. I'd pass out if the two of them anchored the secondary.Originally Posted by cyhughes22

Exactly. Its an

"I see Jesus Montero as a potential once-in-a-generation force on offense."
Wow I didn't realize it was that bad. I definitely know that you aren't against the idea of having him, I just feel like there's a chance it could still be done. I still feel like he'd restructure it to play for a good team with his friend Revis but who knows. If anyone in football can afford it though it's Woody Johnson. You take a shot next year and worry later as long as you don't have to give up an important piece to make it happen.Originally Posted by Snatch Catch

- http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/jets/Jets confirm Jones pink slip »
By Rich Cimini
This is the way it goes now in the NFL. You rush for 3,800 yards in three seasons, score 31 TDs, never miss a game, capture an AFC rushing title, make a Pro Bowl, get voted "most inspirational teammate" twice by your peers ... and get a pink slip with a two-paragraph statement from your bosses, thanking you for all your efforts.
The Jets released this statement this afternoon, confirmed the release of RB Thomas Jones. It includes quotes from GM Mike Tannenbaum and coach Rex Ryan. They provide no insight into what went into the decision.
Tannenbaum: "We have informed Thomas Jones and his representatives that we will release him on March 5. Thomas joined us three years ago and has been a productive, passionate leader both on and off the field who has served as a positive influence for our younger players. We were fortunate to acquire Thomas and wish him the best."
Ryan: "When I got here Thomas immediately became one of my guys. He had one of his best years last season - might have been his best. I have a tremendous amount of respect for him as a player and a person. As I said the other day, this is one of the tough decisions we had to make for our organization."
The team had no statement from Jones.
Would 1 year more of him really be a hindrance to this team from going the extra step to the Super Bowl?
I'm not sure if I like this release so much.
2010 Regular Season Record: 88-57
I don't think losing TJ kills the Jets on the field, but definitely a blow to locker room chemistry fwiw. Jones was good, but put any other decent NFL halfback behind our o-line and he will prosper. And Jones was too easily tackled, it seemed like he would take one hit and hit the ground.
Dem ol' grimy Jets...
We are clearly going to need another RB now. I also wouldn't be surprised if we make a strong run at Adalius Thomas.
I mean, people knew that Brown was out there, and that Randy was ornery all the time. And Pavano is whoever he is. But if youre their manager, you cant go out and write about them like that.
This is a TERRIBLE decision IMO. TERRIBLE.
Jesus Montero since June 1 (286 at-bats):
July 1 (182 at-bats):
This draft is so, so deep at RB that the lack of picks likely won't hurt.

To no surprise to anyone, Lito will be released on Friday (Cimini).
Step off the ledge, guys, you're talking about a 31-year-old running back who's lead the league in carries for several years. It's probably much sooner than later that that's going to catch up with him.
If they ask who was our star, give them twenty five names, and if you forget our names, just tell them we were Yankees.
Relax. If Jones wasn't willing to restructure his deal the Jets' hands were tied and they had to cut him loose.Originally Posted by dabomb2045
"I see Jesus Montero as a potential once-in-a-generation force on offense."
What happens if Washington takes awhile to get back to 100% (very likely since his injury was major), and Greene's running style means alot of nagging injuries--also meaning he cant handle a huge workload?Originally Posted by Melan-cynic
Greene's running style reminds me alot of Brandon Jacobs. He isnt as big as Jacobs is, but he has that same way of trying to run over and thru people. The problem w/that is you cant run that way and carry the ball 250-300 times a year for very long. Even Jacobs toned it down this past season...which also limited his effectiveness.
With the uncapped year coming up, Jones should have been held onto. Would have formed a nice three-headed RB tandem that would have given other teams problems.
Jesus Montero since June 1 (286 at-bats):
July 1 (182 at-bats):
According to Bart Scott, Adalius Thomas wants to be a Jet.
A RB you could get in the 4th or 5th (possibly third after the combine is said and done but he did miss this year) is James Starks out of UB. I'd love for the Bills to scoop him up. He is going to be a very good RB.
From Rotoworld:
Buffalo RB James Starks ran an official forty time of 4.50 at the Scouting Combine.
The time ranked seventh among running backs. Starks is a major sleeper with starting-caliber potential for the middle rounds. He's been a full participant all week after missing 2009 with a torn shoulder labrum.
From Kiper:
Kiper also was very high on James Starks, the University of Buffalo's career rushing leader, who missed the whole season with a shoulder injury but could be a steal.
"He's right now back to where he needs to be physically or close to it," Kiper said. "He would have been a second- or third-round pick had he played this year with Buffalo, so James Starks, if you can get him in the fourth or fifth round, the kid's got a lot of ability."
Buffalo Bills 2010 "Oh"-Line
The RB position is so freaking deep this year.

Given the RB options in the draft, Jones' lackluster performance towards the end of this season (which, at his age and wear and tear, indicates an impending decline), and his contract, I'm okay with this release. He would've been 2nd on the depth chart behind Greene and had a high chance of severe regression. Would it have been nice to have 3 good RBs? Of course, but with the risks involved with Jones and his contract, it was a reasonable move to release him.
Per Cimini, Washington & Brad Smith received second round tenders.
A 2nd rounder for Smith is a pipedream, but if someone wants to give a 2nd rounder for Leon in this draft, sign me the hell up.Originally Posted by CallOfTheCrow

'Morton Downey Jr.' film showcased at Tribeca, Montclair
Featured Writer, ANNA SPIEWAK
Before The Jerry Springer Show, The New Jersey Housewives and Jersey Shore became household names and trademarks of mindless trash television for the blue collar audience, and conservanazi Bill O'Reilly grilled liberals on his show, there was one man who started it all, back in the late 1980s. The chain smoking, finger-pointing, big-toothed loudmouth Morton Downey Jr. broke ground for controversial programming at a time when everyone was still behaving nicely on air. The brass, rude way that Downey Jr. puffed smoke into his guest's face, hollered obscenities at some of them and sometimes even threw others off his show while on air – made national headlines
While most may have stumbled upon the Morton Downey Jr. Show late at night airing on WWOR-TV in Secaucus, NJ, back in 1987-1989 and flipped the channel due to the loud noise of the host and his audience, directors Seth Kramer, Daniel A. Miller and Jeremy Newberger, back then impressionable teens, were mesmerized by the man who would become the founding father of what we call today populist entertainment.
The three friends, filmmakers and business partners who founded Ironbound Films in 2003, realized that all of them shared a fascination with Morton Downey Jr. while growing up. The next natural step for them was to make a movie about it.
"For anyone who remembers the show, it's not like being a fan of "Mad Men" today, it was not a normal TV show, the Downey Show had a bit of a cult following," said Seth Kramer, one of the directors and editor of the 90-minute documentary showcased at this year's Tribeca Film Festival (www.tribecafilm.com) in an interview with this reporter. "Part of us wanted to go back to that time and figure out what was the appeal to us about him. It was sort of a strange period in our lives and a strange thing to be interested in, we're not necessarily fans of Jerry Springer, nor cult followers of today's brand of populist entertainment, so what was the appeal of Downey to us?"
As the directors set out on the journey of Morton Downey Jr.'s life, career and death, they quickly realized that it was not only the show that appealed to them, and Downey Jr.'s conservative political views that he preached at the time, which all directors say they do not share today, but also his style in delivering his message. Celebrity personalities and other talk show hosts interviewed in the film describe MDJ as someone who reacted on emotion during his TV rants rather than reason, and yet someone with a lot of guts to tell some of his guests as it is straight to their face. In a time when television was mainly geared at women and an older demographic, The Morton Downey Jr. show had a certain appeal to the American male population searching for justice amidst political indifference.
"It was almost like watching wrestling, there is a wrestling character that represents America, chauvinism and patriotism, he's the blond-haired representation of everything you hold dear and there's another character who represents something foreign and evil and they're battling it out, either on the World Wrestling Federation or on the Downey show and you want the character who represents the good to win; and for a 17-year-old at that time it's very easy to see in such a black-and-white way, that's how Downey represented politics and that also appealed to us," said co-director Daniel A. Miller, who's also the writer on the film.
The directors compare the Morton Downey Jr. show to today's social media in a way, since there was avid audience participation and discussion of shows afterwards. The documentary, which premiered at Tribeca on April 19, shows guests such as presidential candidate Ron Paul and civil rights activist Al Sharpton, who are still making headlines today. The documentary doesn't shy away from more raunchy segments of his programs, such as Downey inviting a topless porn star to his show who wiggles her oversized breasts at the audience, while he calls her obscene names and pushes her with his pelvis to sit back down.
"Part of the appeal to us was forget about history, he was so over the top that even 25 years later you watch and still can't imagine that this was ever permitted on the air," Miller added.
Aside from his controversial show, directors tap into Downey's childhood, growing up in the shadow of his famous father, Morton Downey Sr. the Irish tenor and best friend of Joseph Kennedy Sr., the father of the Kennedy clan; spending summers at the Kennedys' homes and attempting a singing career himself in the 60s and 70s.
"His life story is pretty fascinating, so we felt compelled by the story and the filmmaking," said TFF director of programming Genna Terranova who chose the film to be showcased during the Tribeca Film Festival.
Founded in 2002 by Jane Rosenthal, Robert DeNiro and Craig Hatkoff, the lower Manhattan spring festival was aimed at revitalizing the downtown area of New York post September 11 attacks. Tribeca Film Festival's mission is "to enable the international film community and the general public to experience the power of film by redefining the film festival experience."
Evocateur: The Morton Downey Jr. Movie will also be showing on May 5 at 7pm at Clearview Claridge Cinema, as part of the Montclair Film Festival in North Jersey May 1-6 (http://montclairfilmfest.org), founded by comedian and news show host on Comedy Central, Steve Colbert, a resident of Montclair, a posh Essex County town.

Winchester student collapses and dies
10:25am Friday 14th September 2012 in News
A 17-year-old schoolgirl at a Winchester public school has collapsed and died.
The teenager was a boarder at St Swithun's School for girls on Alresford Road, when she was taken ill at 1.30pm yesterday.
She was taken by ambulance to the Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester but died an hour later.
Police were called to the school but confirmed the death is not being treated as suspicious.
It is understood the girl, who has not been named, did not have any underlying health problems and the coroner has been told.
A school spokesman said today: ''This has been a complete shock as she was only 17 and we are currently talking with her parents.''
St Swithun's School, whose headmistress is Jane Gandee, charges £9,070 a term for boarders and educates girls aged 11 to 18 on a boarding and day basis.
It has about 440 pupils of whom about 200 are boarders. It also runs a co-educational prep school.

Firefighters strike called off (From Redditch Advertiser)
Get involved! Send your photos, video, news & views by texting RA NEWS to 80360 or e-mail us
Firefighters will not strike
1:40pm Friday 18th October 2013 in Local By Sarah Taylor
FIREFIGHTERS will not be striking tomorrow as feared.
Members of the Fire Brigades Union had planned to down tools for five hours between 6.30pm and 11.30pm over proposed changes to their pensions.
Deputy Chief Fire Officer Richard Lawrence from Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service said: "We are pleased to hear that positive dialogue has been taking place between the Government and the FBU, with the result that this specific period of strike action has been postponed.
"The Service's business continuity arrangements for this period of strike action have therefore been put on hold but remain ready to be implemented should the circumstances require."
The union said the Government's proposals will see firefighters work for longer, pay more into their pensions and receive less when they retire.
The plans will also increase the retirement age to 60.

As I recently found the last update I've done to the Super Robot Taisen R translation guide, I've taken some time to regain my pace, and restart working on it. I'll be posting the updates here before I gather them up and send the full thing to GameFAQs.
For those who lost track (I did, anyway), here's a summary of what happened until now:
Raul/Fiona and the Excellence team are dragged back 5 years into the past after their machine was damaged in combat. They end up joining the Round Knights, an independent alliance forces made by the Gear Headquarters, Freeden and several Super Robot research labs.
The Round Knights, however, must split their forces:
Freeden team reaches Fort Seban, a city claimed to be a shelter for Newtypes. However, they're welcomed by Calis Nautilus, a Newtype boy who defeats Garrod, and captures Amuro and Tifa. After being interrupted by Gaizock's attack, Garrod joins Ryoma to try to rescue Tifa.
Meanwhile, Nadesico stays behind at the Gear Headquarters for an operation to bring out all Data Weapons at once. Assaulted by the Jovian Lizards and Galpha, Dendoh and Ogre succeed to collect the Data Weapons, and head out for their ultimate clash. Afterwards, doctor Gou convince them to head to Big Falcon to do some repair job on Voltes.
The full text for stage 17 on both routes is here.

Directed by Lauren Greenfield. US. 2012. PG. 100 min. Magnolia Pictures. 35mm.
Fri, Aug 31 thru Thu, Sep 6 -- Roll over to view showtimes.
"It has been said that we live in a new gilded age, in which the rich take it as their sovereign right and civic duty to get richer, while the rest of us look on in envy, simmer with resentment or dream of rebellion. The Queen of Versailles, a new documentary by Lauren Greenfield about life on the thin, fragile, sugarcoated top layer of the upper crust, captures the tone of the times with a clear, surprisingly compassionate eye.

You're watching...
One of 16 House Democrats who vote against bill
Jan 3, 2013
Also in this playlist...
Auto-advance: ON
Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
-- back and fourteen East Coast time with the house.
-- the fiscal cliff has been averted but it didn't come without both sides crossing the aisle.
Take a look at the break down here we go of the 257 passing votes.
85 came from the GOP sixteen Democrats -- the 151 Republicans who opposed the bill.
Joining us right now is one of those sixteen Democrats who oppose the deal Washington congressman Adam Smith good to have you here.
Good morning thanks for me on our -- so why did you oppose the deal.
Why -- concerned about the long term fiscal health of the country I'm also concerned that sequestration wasn't dealt with on the ranking member on the armed services committee.
The defense budget is subject -- how.
Half of those cuts.
Through automatic across the board cuts and now that's just two months from march 1 they're back in limbo.
As to how much money they're gonna happen fiscal year thirteenth I'm also concerned about the rest of the discretionary budget transportation education.
Infrastructure all of those things are still up in the air.
And also when I know this won't be popular with your viewers.
I'm concerned that revenue has been sort of taken off the table at this point 90% of the bush tax cuts are now locked in permanently.
So any effort to deal with the very large debt and deficit that we have going down that the road here.
Revenues pretty much off the table and we didn't didn't get much so those are my concerns and that's why right now.
So but paralyzed added there a number of Democrats who.
Worst -- congressman that above the 415 number should have been 250 they would like to have seen a tax cuts.
-- for anybody above 200000 individual.
Yes well I'm gonna -- a bit.
The head and be heretical here and say that actually I'm concerned that the 250 level was set.
Mean look when you look at the appetite that we have for spending on entitlements and social security and Medicare and Medicaid.
Our concerns about defense -- concerns about infrastructure and you look at the level of spending.
That -- -- poll shows that the American people don't just want but actually to mania.
A revenue level that says we're gonna take all twelve years worth of tax cuts for people under 250.
And -- all of the need.
You just not going to be able support all those programs that you want to support so.
And look I'm one of those people I've benefited a great deal and they make lesson to fifty never made more.
Bomb and make more than a 100000.
I've gotten you know twelve years worth of a lot of tax cuts.
But if we're gonna support the programs going forward I keep keep getting.
So I'm concerned that we didn't do more comprehensive tax reform that puts us in a better position to deal with the spending needs that the -- obviously demanding.
-- -- -- innocent as you know the president can mean Simpson Bowles commission doesn't really look and thoroughly entitlements.
But it seemed like a great jumping off point for president that's never gonna run for election again.
Are you concerned that the president's pursuing added to his personal agenda and not the things tickets.
Solve our economy long term.
That's why I'm concerned that everybody back here well not everybody but close to everybody most of the leaders.
You know are we all like to complain about the deficit we all like complain about the long term fiscal health and by the way that's the supplies most of the public as well.
But when you actually look at the choices that are involved in dealing with -- and generating the necessary revenue at looking at how to control spending long term.
There's -- there's no support that we we have to start having an honest discussion.
Or we have to say -- were willing to accept trillion dollar deficits for as far as the eye can see and I also think this has a short term impact in the economy.
The uncertainty.
Of whether we're not going to deal with those deficits in addition to the uncertainty of the debt ceiling and the uncertainty of sequestration.
Is still sort of undermines the ability of businesses and investors to invest in this economy.
Well congressman -- it's great that you're worried about -- spending and and taxes but you know there are a lot of people who are watching this and they see the president.
And he really took no leadership when it comes to cutting spending.
With the budget and with this latest crisis.
So you know it seems like what -- yet I don't the president.
Why don't actually agree with that the president put on the table.
Cuts to entitlements he put on the table.
The -- CPI issuing -- -- -- -- other issues but that was a non starter for a lot of people in your.
What what I here's the thing I mean you could say well he's not -- leadership but now what you're saying is he showed leadership.
But nobody else was willing to right so it's really hard to blame the president -- Long deal -- dishonest -- audio right but but I think -- just as an apple is we're talking about the president right also make the point speaker Boehner the Republicans.
What have they put on the table in terms of specific spend lots salute look at them I don't play against.
While the Ryan plan was -- -- -- -- the budget is not an appropriations bill -- the budget said across the board we will cut 10% we're not gonna tell you what.
We're not gonna tell you where we've just got to imagine that it's going to happen in terms -- specific spending cuts the president.
To actually put -- more on the table during this last negotiation.
Then the so called fiscal conservatives leaving the house really because I don't know anything that he wanted to cut.
Besides defense.
I just told you wanted change CPI which you couldn't get support from his own party.
Look it again if you want to say that he's having trouble getting the country behind a fiscally responsible approach that's one thing.
If you want to say he hasn't shown leadership what's different he said here's some ideas hears things that I am unwilling to do.
It wasn't just Democrats who were running away from those ideas and again let me just emphasize I'm concerned also was a Democrat.
That we just took 90% of the bush tax structure that's on concern on the revenue side yet be being a Democrat you know as much as I am in the long term spending side.
Well forbid that CBO says that in the first year for every dollar cut.
There will be 41 dollars worth of tax increases said that numbers jaw dropping -- -- congressman Adam Smith Democrat from Washington voted against it last night.
Sir thank you very much for getting up early to be with us.
Thanks for the chance you --

a non-linear gospel?
without uncertainty it is impossible to please G-d - as faith could not exist without it. (this first appeared on my blog - http://liquidlight.wordpress.com - entitled, "G-d and time". i started thinking today about how time-bound our perception of G-d and our interpretation of scripture can be, much of the time. while valid, this is but A point of view and not THE point of view in engaging our Creator, the bible, nature or anything else in the multiverse. this train of thought was sparked off by an interesting post on opensourcetheology.net - thanks Stacy! - about Christ's descending into hell. in it she suggested that Christ, being G-d and therefore not constrained by time, may have descended to free those in hell AT THE END of time - post-judgement - and not merely 2000 years ago. this thought hit me between the eyes and my heart whispered, maybe yes. apart from appealing to my fascination with quantum wierdness, it also highlighted how linear and time-bound my interpretation of scripture and G-d is, which is understandable, given that we largely live in a newtonian world and not at the sub-atomic level. (anyway it's my almost exclusive & habitual use of the linear-temporal view in relating to G-d etc that i'm underlining here.) could it be that our technologies have to some extent started to reflect elements of the realm within which G-d lives and moves - being more non-linear - but that our theologies and interpretations of scripture, in the main, have not? ie they have tended to remain more static, linear & "in time". (does orthodoxy demand this or can we envision and emerge with a more dynamic orthodoxy that shapes & in turn is shaped by the paradoxical @ non-local universe in which we dwell?) i sense Love as being non-linear which - embedded within the heart of the gospel - may be a clue and a way back-thru-beyond. could a rigid theology be a pathological response to - and defence against - uncertainty? in a multiverse where uncertainty = faith's anti-particle? if so then the inflexible theologies so esteemed by much of the evangelical church as reflecting "faith", could from a non-linear perspective be seen by G-d as idolatrous & stemming from a LACK of belief. without uncertainty it is impossible to please G-d - as faith could not exist without it - and so even the dark is redemptive and in service to the Divine. as echoed in, "For God has bound all men over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all." - Romans 11:32 surely? maybe. sitting down at my desk to work, a small voice suggested something to the effect of: "the bible is a book and G-d = G-d so always keep that in mind". things for me to meditate on after time out from wrestling. |
i love the non-linear and outside of time thoughts of god. tolkein and lewis and other fantastic storytellers take me there - to the mystery of the unknown. it is funny to me that the science that seems to have boxed in the modern period, may be the stepping stone for what ultimately links us to the kind of truth that cannot be contained in a formula, but only in an experience.
Einstein may have broken the
Einstein may have broken the conceptual constraint of time and space that mankind has been bound to since the beginning of history. But it has not converted into a popular recognition of it for humans. The earth is still flat on that account. Just as it took a while for us to believe the world is round, or the reality of the global village with global warming.
The Church diverts us from this spiritual truth. We can only get to the timelessness of God by making it into heaven. We have to pass the test here in time and space to graduate to that after death. It helps to keep humans in the mindset that they are not eternal now, that it is contingent, a bonus of Salvation. So we have to work hard on our theology to conjure it up in this reality of God, humans and inert matter. The only conscious thing outside of God is humans, so the only other 'spirit' we have to join with on our journey here are our fellow souls.
It contributes to mankind's eternal desert, struggling to conjure up 'spirit' in every generation through complex theology and a bizarre story called Jesus. Humans are still effectively the center of the universe in their minds, as God caters to our needs in this inert matter.
Nothing much has really changed, despite all our technical and theological prowess. Reality remains only God, humans and inert matter… time and space remaining our prison of perception of who we are, waiting for a promise.

I've been using Craftsman tools since I was old enough to hold one and they've never disappointed me. Over the years, many of my wrenches had walked away, so I rewarded myself with a shiny new set of metric combo wrenches. They're true classics. They always work, they always fit, and I've never broken one. Ever.

great tool at the on sale price! I ordered both metric and SAE set online and got *************, got it just few days after ordering. it come with a hard plastic case which is easy to open, I plan to keep my wrenches in this case, until i have the enough tool drawer spaces.

Sad was the day Craftsman started making their wrenches in China. Word on the street is the steel used is inferior, thus these wrenches are beefier to meet the same strength. Indeed it's not as nice as the old school skinny wrenches or the polished wrenches (which are still stamped USA, see in store) but I guess that's how these are offered at non-professional prices. Overall, these wrenches are wrenches and they work - nice part about them is there's no moving parts so they likely won't break and they still have a lifetime warranty. The bulky blow-molded case has a handle and will hold and protect your wrenches well if you don't have a tool chest. The midget wrenches look like toys, but come in a plastic ziplock bag that stores under the larger wrenches. The 4,4.5,and 5mm midget wrenches are 6-pt box end, though I hope if you ever need them it won't make a difference. If you are only interested in a few sizes, try a higher quality set, but if you're like me and will likely need the odd size at one point or another in your life (and would rather not use an adjustable wrench), this (hopefully) will cover the range.

This is a good set for a great price. Be aware that some sets are made in China and some are made in USA. They have the same Item No. though. The one pictured is the US set. The one I received was an import. I was able to exchange it for the USA forged set and love it.

Nice selection of wrench sizes and of course Craftsman life time warranty. Bought this set because of the hard case to call everything in. Case is really a nice tough.

TOWSON, Md. – In front of a packed crowd at the Tiger Softball Complex Sunday afternoon, the Tigers (25-26, 8-10 CAA) were defeated 7-0 by Hofstra (32-13, 16-0 CAA) in Towson's final home game of the regular season.
Prior to the game, a ceremony was held honoring Towson's eight seniors, who played in the final game in front of the home fans. Towson's seniors include outfielders Brianna Jones and Erika Stasch, pitchers Dominique Ortega and Paige Martin, infielders Haley Stueckler and Lindsey Kent, first baseman Andrea Stevenson and catcher Courtney Wittner.
"Over the four years, they all have added something in their own unique ways," Towson head coach Lisa Costello said of her senior class. "Every single one of them has led by example and they are fantastic kids."
Hofstra junior starting pitcher Olivia Galati limited the Tigers to just two base-runners Sunday, and picked up her Colonial Athletic Association leading 25th victory of the season in the circle. Galati threw seven innings and struck out nine in the shutout.
The Pride got on the board first in the second inning, when third baseman Krista Thorn hit a two-run home run to give Hofstra a 2-0 lead. Thorn had three runs batted in for the Pride, while Rachael Senatore had three hits and two RBI's for Hofstra.
The Tigers battled with good defense throughout the game backing pitchers Katie Lingmai and Ortega, as third baseman Delanie Dunham had multiple strong plays in the field at the hot corner. The sophomore also added a walk in the sixth inning for Towson.

B.A.Sc. in Computer Sciences at U.Q.A.Montreal, Canada.
B.Sc. in Physics at University of Montreal, Canada.
Ph.D. in Cosmology and General Relativity at Queen's University at Kingston, Canada.
Research Associate in Cosmology at Princeton University, New Jersey, USA
I completed my Ph.D. (December 2002) in Cosmology and General Relativity with Prof. Kayll Lake at the Physics Department at Queen's
University at Kingston in Canada. My graduate work included investigations in inhomogeneous cosmological
models; an inverse approach to Einstein's equations; oscillation modes in compact astrophysical objects;
and matching spacetimes using junction conditions.
Then, I joined the Physics Department at Princeton University as a postdoctoral fellow where I worked
on projects in cosmology, cosmic acceleration and gravitational lensing with Prof. Steinhardt, Prof. Seljak and other
researchers. After that, I worked as a Research Associate at the Astrophysical
Sciences Department at Princeton in collaboration with Prof. Spergel and other researchers on the same topics above.
While there, I organized the Princeton & IAS Gravitational Lensing Seminar and taught at both the Astrophysics
Department (Astro 203) and at the Physics Department (Physics 103).
On August 2005, I started an assistant professor position at the Department of Physics at the University of Texas at
Dallas (UT Dallas). I discovered that a real thirst for Cosmology and Astrophysics
exists within the students at UT Dallas and also the general public in the Dallas
Metroplex Area so I launched, with the help of colleagues, a number of initiatives
and activities in response to that. I formed the new Cosmology, Relativity, and Astrophysics Group with the kind encouragments of Prof. Rindler and other coleagues here at UT Dallas.
My recent research projects and interests at UTDallas are in Modern Cosmology, General Relativity, and at their intersection (see next section). I am involved in both theoretical, numerical, and data-related projects. For a partial list of my papers at Los Almos Archive click here (astro-ph), click here (gr-qc), For a partial list of my papers at NASA ADS click here.
I very much enjoy teaching and supervising students. The courses I taught at UTD include PHYS2325 Mechanics, PHYS3312 Classical Mechanics, and PHYS5395 Cosmology. I received the 2007 Outstanding Teaching Award from the School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics at UTD .
Our group is now funded by NASA, DOE, and NSF, as well as the private sector.

States Say Enough Is Enough, Tell Feds to Butt Out
Nothing gives this writer purer pleasure than to report on the multitude of states' rights initiatives being passed by state legislatures across our great Republic. As happy as such news makes me, it must in equal measure drive the journalists at the establishment's "newspaper of record" — the New York Times — crazy.

Debra Medina Defiant in Defeat
As Debra Medina sat with her husband in their hometown campaign office in Wharton, Texas, watching the numbers come in, she knew that she was not going to be the next governor of the Lone Star state. In fact, the statewide support demonstrated for Mrs. Medina (18 percent) was not enough to force a run-off with incumbent Rick Perry.
Gov. Rick Perry: Conservative When It Counts?
Tomorrow Republicans in the Lone Star State will go to the polls to select their party's representative in the gubernatorial contest to be decided on November 2. All three of the principal candidates — incumbent Governor Rick Perry, Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, and Debra Medina — have staked their claim to the conservative base of the GOP.
President Obama Publishes His Health Care Plan ... Sort of
In an effort to drag health care reform back onto the legislative stage, on February 22 President Barack Obama released a blueprint of his version of a comprehensive overhaul of the American health care system. The announcement was designed to set the scene for the pantomime show set for Thursday when C-SPAN will televise a confab between Obama and Republicans in Congress.

Obama, FDR: Who Is the Bigger Spender?
As reported by Tom Eddlem in The New American, President Obama on February 12 signed legislation to increase the federal government's borrowing authority by nearly $2 trilion, on behalf of all of us who will be stuck with the astronomical promissory note. Perhaps to distract from the jaw-dropping bottom line of that stroke of the pen, President Obama followed up the following day with an address filled with language that sounds nearly like a parody of the discourses he so often delivers.
Congressman Proposes Radical Pro-Homosexual Protections in Public Schools
On January 27, 2010, openly gay Congressman Jared Polis (D-Colo.) submitted House Resolution 4530, the so-called "Student Nondiscrimination Act of 2010." If enacted, this bill would empower avowed homosexual rights activist and "safe schools czar" Kevin Jennings, to institutionally inculcate America's public school children with his own degenerate notion of morality and sexuality.

In an uncritical August 11, 1997, World News Tonight report on "biomagnetic therapy," a physical therapist explained that "magnets are another form of electric energy that we now think has a powerful effect on bodies." A fellow selling $89 magnets proclaimed: "All humans are magnetic. Every cell has a positive and negative side to it."
On the positive side, these magnets are so weak that they cause no harm. On the negative side, these magnets do have the remarkable power of attracting the pocketbooks of gullible Americans to the tune of about $300 million a year. They range in scale from coin-size patches to king-size mattresses, and their curative powers are said to be nearly limitless, based on the premise that magnetic fields increase blood circulation and enrich oxygen supplies because of the iron present in the blood.

Eco Pro Tungsten Pro Wacky Weights 3 pack - $3.99 to $7.79
The Eco Pro Tungsten Pro Wacky Weights feature a revolutionary design that allows you to add extra weight to your wacky rig, while helping save your plastics from wear and tear and improving your hook up ratio.
Simply insert the eye of the Pro Wacky Weight into your favorite soft plastic, then put your hook point through the eye - and that's it. Available in several colors to better match your bait selection, the Eco Pro Tungsten Pro Wacky Weights let you fish with your hook at a 90-degree angle, save your plastics, and make the most out of every bite.
3 per pack
Comments: While these are awesome for wacky rigging and a must have item in your tackle box, there are other uses for them. I like to use the 1/16 to nose hook a worm or swim bait with a small octopus hook for a killer finess presentation. When rigged this way it bait looks like the drop shot presentation without the dangling weight. It's very effective in skinny water. It's also stealthier and allows more hook size options than a ball jig head.
From: Chuck: NJ, USA
Comments: Can't say enough good things about these weights. I was lucky enough to fish with these on Champlain this summer and they rock! Hands down the best wacky system out there!

Organizational rankings and top 10 prospects per team
October 26, 2010 Team Prospectus Buffalo Sabres
by Timo Seppa
Buffalo Sabres, 2009-10
Goals For: 235 11th Goals Against: 207 4th GVT: 28 6th Points: 100 10th
VUKOTA Projection for 2010-11
Goals For: 233 12th Goals Against: 221 5th GVT: 11 7th Points: 95 7th
Will the Buffalo Sabres ever win a Stanley Cup? Western New York�s team seems destined to put together good but not elite squads, keeping the ultimate prize just out of grasp. They�ve certainly got Ryan Miller�s superstar goaltending as a foundation for the next several seasons. But what�s Tyler Myers ceiling? And can they find other premium pieces to build that championship squad?
Buffalo has a few players who struggle on the Net Penalties front, including surprisingly Thomas Vanek at -0.5 Net Penalties per 60 minutes. And Craig Rivet was really bad in 2009-10, even for a defenseman, at -0.7 Net Penalties per 60 minutes. Overall, the stats among the Sabres young rearguard bode well for the future � Tyler Myers and Andrej Sekera placed in the top defensemen by four of the five stats below.
Sabres top forwards, by 2009-10 stats
Shots/60: Drew Stafford 10.6, Jochen Hecht 9.9, Jason Pominville 9.8# Hits/60: Patrick Kaleta 15.9, Paul Gaustad 6.6, Mike Grier 5.1 Blocked shots/60: Patrick Kaleta 3.9, Mike Grier 2.3, Tim Connolly 2.0 Takeaways/giveaway: Paul Gaustad 1.7, Jason Pominville 1.5#, Patrick Kaleta 1.4 Net penalties/60: Derek Roy +0.6, Mike Grier +0.5, Jason Pominville +0.5# Faceoffs: Paul Gaustad 57.4%, Rob Niedermayer 50.6%*
Sabres top defensemen, by 2009-10 stats
Shots/60: Steve Montador 6.0, Andrej Sekera 4.1, Tyler Myers 3.2 Hits/60: Shaone Morrisonn 8.2*, Andrej Sekera 3.0, Tyler Myers 2.8 Blocked shots/60: Shaone Morrisonn 5.2*, Jordan Leopold 4.7*, Tyler Myers 4.2 Takeaways/giveaway: Jordan Leopold 0.55*, Andrej Sekera 0.48, Craig Rivet 0.43 Net penalties/60: Andrej Sekera +0.5, Tyler Myers +0.3, Chris Butler +0.0
*New acquisition
#Out with injury
Minimum 40 games played
Sabres goaltenders, 2009-10 stats
Vezina Trophy winner Ryan Miller had a fantastic season as well as an otherworldly Olympics, nearly stealing the gold medal for Team USA. Surprisingly, backup Patrick Lalime put up a decent looking .907 save percentage�surprising because he had some very ugly moments in the 2009-10 campaign. Prospect Jhonas Enroth can�t be ready soon enough.
Ryan Miller
Save percentage: .929 Even strength save percentage: .928 Power play save percentage: .919 Shorthanded save percentage: .966
Patrick Lalime
Save percentage: .907 Even strength save percentage: .908 Power play save percentage: .884 Shorthanded save percentage: 1.000
Even when Jason Pominville is in the lineup, you�d ideally like three better choices than Pominville, Drew Stafford and Derek Roy among your top three shooters. Therefore, it would be worth their while for Buffalo to explore some other options. And regardless of their ability in the game proper, Tim Connolly (19.0%) and Thomas Vanek (23.5%) have proven to be poor choices in the shootout�don�t go there, Lindy! In goal, Ryan Miller gives the Sabres a good chance to winning any shootout.
Best options, shooters with 10 or more career attempts
Jason Pominville# 40.9% (9 for 22) Drew Stafford 34.6% (9 for 26) Derek Roy 31.8% (7 for 22)
Best options, shooters with a limited track record
Jochen Hecht 50.0% (3 for 6) Tyler Myers, 33.3% (1 for 3) Jordan Leopold, 100.0% (1 for 1)
Ryan Miller: .713 career (119 for 167), .645 in 2009-10 Patrick Lalime: .600 career (27 for 45), .615 in 2009-10
Big Question #1: Has this offensive group plateaued? Who should stay and who should go?
VUKOTA says: Thomas Vanek 69 GP, 28 G, 28 A, 56 P, 7.7 OGVT, 1.6 DGVT, 9.3 GVT. Paul Gaustad 61 GP, 12 G, 14 A, 25 P, 1.5 OGVT, 2.3 DGVT, 3.7 GVT. Tim Connolly 68 GP, 20 G, 39 A, 59 P, 7.3 OGVT, 3.0 DGVT, 10.2 GVT. Drew Stafford 68 GP, 18 G, 23 A, 41 P, 4.2 OGVT, 1.8 DGVT, 6.0 GVT. Rob Niedermayer 63 GP, 8 G, 10 A, 18 P, 0.2 OGVT, 2.2 DGVT, 2.4 GVT.
Timo says: Buffalo pays Thomas Vanek like a superstar, but he�s not. The Sabres need to open their pocketbooks for one star quality forward to give them a chance to compete for a championship. If this player can take faceoffs, it�s a bonus, because it makes otherwise useless Paul Gaustad expendable.
Ideally, this player would be an upgrade on the power play as well. But keep in mind that overall the Sabres have a nice mix of forwards�you don�t want to mess up the chemistry by making radical changes.
Answer: Other than the upside provided by Tyler Ennis, yes, the offensive group has plateaued. Tim Connolly and Drew Stafford should be re-signed. Rob Niedermayer unequivocally should not. And they need a star.
Big Question #2: What�s the ceiling for Tyler Myers and the other young defenders?
The talk:
Head coach Lindy Ruff (on the play on the young defensemen): �[Butler�s] play has improved. He�s steadily gained some confidence here in this stretch. Myers actually has had a tough time. He�s probably on the back end of our young D. He�s had the toughest time this year. Andrej Sekera has maybe been one of our best.�
Ruff (on rookie defenseman Mike Weber�s NHL debut): �He started a little tough, but he worked his way into it. It�s expected�He settled in. He did a nice job for us.�
VUKOTA says: Chris Butler 59 GP 4 G, 14 A, 18 P, 1.5 OGVT, 3.0 DGVT, 4.5 GVT. Tyler Myers 81 GP 10 G, 36 A, 46 P, 6.0 OGVT, 5.4 DGVT, 11.4 GVT. Andrej Sekera 55 GP 4 G, 12 A, 16 P, 0.8 OGVT, 1.7 DGVT, 2.5 GVT.
Hockey Prospectus 2010-11 says: Buffalo�s 2010 first rounder Mark Pysyk is another young defenseman coming up through the ranks. Corey Pronman rates him as Hockey Prospectus� #31 overall prospect.
Timo says: It�s nice to see Chris Butler having turned his game around from last season, when he was a constant liability on the ice; Butler looks like a completely different player now. Getting quality play from youngsters like Butler, Sekera and Weber should lower the overall price tag of the defensive unit in the short run at least, allowing Buffalo to spend more on some offensive upgrades. And yes, the Sabres should bid farewell to aging and rickety captain Craig Rivet by next offseason.
Answer: Tyler Myers should provide the anchor for the Sabres defense for the next ten years, maybe more. Chris Butler and Andrej Sekera may well pan out to be Buffalo�s second pairing.
Big Question #3: Are the Sabres young, energetic and tough enough to not get outworked and bullied in the playoffs again?
Rookie Tyler Ennis: �When we�re going well, we�re getting pucks in deep and we�re using our speed and getting to good spots. When it�s not going so well, we�re being a little too individual with the puck. We get a lot of our offense when we just put the pucks in good spots and work hard and use our work ethic to get it back and put pucks in the net.�
Timo says: Buffalo has plenty of youth and energy in the likes of Tyler Ennis, Nathan Gerbe, Cody McCormick and their young defensemen. Looking toward 2011-12, intriguing forward Zack Kassian fits the mold of a quintessential energy player as well. The re-signing of Mike Grier made some sense, in the fact that he was one of the few Sabres that didn�t wilt midway through the games of the Bruins series. While the Niedermayer signing didn�t to bring anything of worth to the club�he�s no tough guy�the Morrisonn signing was at least defensible for adding toughness to a squad that was bullied by Zdeno Chara and company.
Answer: When the Sabres are going well, energy isn�t a problem, and an injection of youth always helps in that regard. But we�ll see if Shaone Morrisonn, Patrick Kaleta and Cody McCormick will be enough to fend off the bad guys this time around. If not, there�s Zack Kassian.

I'm growing more and more convinced that Pominville's loss has affected the Sabres quite a lot. Pomibville had Buffalo's best ESTR in 2009-10. I wish they'd kept Zack Kassian up with the team out of preseason, but it's good to see that they've inked him now.
