From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Uncyclopedia is not just an encyclopedia of HAPPINESS, it is a very large encyclopedia of HAPPINESS that also happens to play host to numerous subprojects, including everything from some sort of poetry anthology to what may or may not be an offshoot of Twitter.
Many of the projects are currently in varying states of disrepair, but fortunately nobody cares, so nobody happens to be terribly fussed about any of it.

Ready or not, here I come...again: Catholics on the second coming
From disaster movies to fundamentalist techno-thrillers, Americans are fascinated with scary end-of-the-world scenarios. So what are Catholics, who in every Mass profess belief in the Second Coming, to make of that?
Along with oceans flooding over Himalayan peaks, the aircraft carrier U.S.S. John F. Kennedy crashing into the White House, and the statue of Christ the Redeemer crumbling high above Rio de Janeiro, St. Peter's Basilica in Rome is one of the show-stopping sights of the just-released blockbuster movie 2012.

Specialist Four Markovich distinguished himself while serving as a Rifleman with Company A, 3rd Battalion, 12th Infantry Regiment, 4th Infantry Division. On 1 March 1969, Specialist Markovich was on one of the first helicopters to set down in a landing zone northwest of Kontum and immediately assumed a position to provide security for the incoming helicopters. As the fourth helicopter touched down, an unknown sized enemy force subjected the landing zone with intense automatic weapons small arms and mortar fire from their well-concealed fortified positions. Continually exposing himself to devastating enemy attack, Specialist Markovich placed accurate suppressive fire on the enemy positions. During the ensuing firefight Specialist Markovich was mortally wounded by enemy shrapnel. His heroic actions were instrumental in repulsing the determined enemy attack. Specialist Four Markovich's courageous acts, initiative and exemplary devotion to duty are in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army.

roasting a whole pig
Fri Jun 20, 2003 11:34 pm
looking for any ideas, tips, etc.
Sun Jun 22, 2003 3:13 pm
Several thoughts on roasting pigs. When I lived in Hawaii, we did them underground in an imu, or Hawaiian oven. Often this entailed a few days, mostly for fun. Friday afternoon, the kane (men) would show up and dig a large pit. Someone usually had access to a backhoe to make this easy. We would pile wood in the pit and then layer river rocks on top of the wood. The river rocks must be solid or they will explode from the air trappen inside of them expanding. The fire would commence and beverages would be consumed. The pig was prepared by laying down a sheet of chicken wire and layering ti or banana leaves on the wire. the pig was then placed on the wire after being rubbed with salt and stuffed with pineapples and banana stalks. Once the fire died down and the rocks were hot the pig was trussed up and wrapped in burlap sacks. This was all placed on the rocks. The sand/dirt was placed back on the pig and the mound was guarded overnite by the men to prevent someone from getting a hot foot.
In the morning, the wahine (women) would show up and bring breakfast for the now ailing kane. Who knew watching a pig cook would cause a hangover. The pig would be unburried at about two or three in the afternoon. It was let to sit for about an hour and then eaten around four or five. Again we would spend the night and go home on Sunday.
Now that I live in Arizona, this whole process is a little more difficult. We have caliche soil, which is a cement like hard packed clay. I no longer have access to a backhoe, so I have started cooking pigs above ground. I am on my second low-cost home made grill and I will share what I have learned. the top of both grills are made the same way. Angle iron for side supports, expanded metal (grate) for the grill top, and rebar across the width for support. My first grill was three feet high with 1/8th steel sides. This grill was too high to get constant heat on the meat and was subsequently lowered with a sawzall. The first grill was 4' X 5' and would handle a 140# pig with room to spare. The problem was flipping the pig far out in front of your body left you will little leverage and little strength.
My grill now is a 3' X 4' grill that can handle pigs upto 100#. The grill top is built the same, all you need is a few quick welds. Hopefully, you have a friend with a welder or you can take the parts to a welding shop with some beer and maybe a little cash. I assembled mine in under 20 minutes. The grill now just stands on top of Common Masonary Units (CMU blocks). Yep, the stuff the back fence is made of . Depending on how much heat I have, the blocks can be turned to change the height of the grill. There's the low-cost grill for pig roasting. Sure you could buy a high-dollar smoker, but hey, we all can't afford $7,000 stainless steel grills.
Prepping the pig is simple. Get a big knife, Preferably not one from your wedding gifts. Use a big Buck knife or K-bar. Cut the pig open all of the way from tail to chin. I do this in the bed of my truck after washing the plastic bed liner down. You will need to break all of the ribs both at the sturnum and dislocate them from the spine. This will hopefully leave the pig relatively flat. Now rub the pig down with a rub if you choose and wrap it in chicken wire. Build some handles near the neck and by the rear of the pig. Once the pig really begins to cook, you will not be able to turn him by his arms and legs, The meat will become so tender that they will break off.
With the blocks in place and in a relatively sheltered area, start your fire. I use mostly mesquite that I collect from new subdivisions that are knocking them over to make space for more houses. Charcoal is no sin either, but it burns hotter. Let the fire burn down some and separate it into four piles to be placed under the four meaty areas of the pig. Your ready to go cooking. Place on the grill, then pig, and start to wait. The longer and slower the pig cooks, the more tender the meat is. Even if rushed, this is a six hour project; eight is good, ten is better. Flip the pig about every hour to half hour. Build a small fire next to the big one to start new coals/new wood. This will keep the flare ups to a minimum. The melting pig fat will cause flare ups, so you might have to move some of the coals to prevent the fat from landing on them. Tell the little kids that if they crank his tail, he will cook faster. The pig should be about 160F when ready. Let sit and then carve.

He has spent his life as a maintenance worker at a zoo in the Netherlands. Now, the 54-year-old — identified only by his first name, Mario — doesn't have much time left. He's incapacitated by terminal cancer, and his last wish was to see the animals at Rotterdam's Diergaarde Blijdorp zoo for a final time.
When Mario's hospital bed was wheeled into the zoo enclosure, a giraffe recognized his friend and nuzzled him.
'(It was) a very special moment," says Kees Veldboer, founder of the Ambulance Wish Foundation, which granted Mario's wish and posted a photo on its Facebook page. "You could see him totally light up … it's very special to see that those animals recognise him, and sense that he isn't doing well."

"I love to cook gumbo, but for the Holidays, with family and friends coming over and getting the perfect Christmas meal together can be challenging. This is something that can be done in 30 minutes and is great to have before and after Christmas as a wonderful meal with the ones you love," Chef Lee said.
Cook Time: 30-40 minutes
Serves: 4
1 Central Market Creole Gumbo Base
1 pound Peeled and Deveined Shrimp
4 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
4 tablespoon chopped fresh green onions
1 cup cooked white rice
1. Place stock in a sauce pan and bring to a boil.
2. Reduce heat and simmer stock for 5-7 minutes. The soup will slightly thicken, but if you are wanting a more thicker gumbo, simmer uncovered for an additional 20 minutes.
3. Add shrimp stirring occasionally for about 5-7 minutes or until shrimp are pink and cooked through.
4. Finish with fresh chopped parsley and green onions for that authentic Louisiana Flavor.
5. Serve with white rice.

The firm's site claims that it has made licensing deals with Apple, Google, Nokia, Sears, Sony and Orbitz.
Even if their patent does cover rollover images which we use for menus and other means, can they really enforce it?
What do you think?
I was just checking out Opera 11's page... and suddenly the 'click to activate' flash discussion in this thread got me laughing...
An option has now been added to have plug-ins such as Flash content load only when clicked on. This is especially helpful for speeding up browsing on computers that have difficulty handling lots of plug-in content. Simply check the "Enable plug-ins only on demand" box in Preferences → Advanced.
It's now considered a feature! :rofl:
And honestly, it's a good feature. =p
Yeah, I have to call bull on that too -- IE was the only one affected, I remember people joking about Opera being a Norwegian company basically told the American patent holder where to shove it.
You know, like the joke about Barnes and Noble's response to the one-click patent.http://ars.userfriendly.org/cartoons/?id=19991024
I know we're off topic but you'll have to post some links to credible information that substantiates your position on Eolas...
I was quite aware during the course of the patent/lawsuit and recall when my browser was updated with the click patch. I was also surprised that my other browsers weren't affected which lead me to information about the patent, particularly that the patent did (explicitly) not affect open source browsers that are available for free.
This article from 2006 quotes the patent holder discussing the reason why other browsers aren't affected.
I don't want to be rude so I'm just going to suggest you go back and do some more research, awasson. I can find plenty of examples with browsers other than Ie being affected, so I'm sure you will to if you take a look.
Yeah, I do remember it quite well... There was no scramble from the others because the Eolas patent only affects proprietary browsers. IE was clearly in their sights but the others being open source (even Safari) were safe from legal action.
BTW: The click to activate only affected IE browsers at the time of the infringement and at some point later IE was repatched to remove the click-to-activate feature. I recall something about Opera as well but I never ran into the click-to problem with it. Firefox and Safari never integrated the click-to-activate "feature". Perhaps the websites you've visited have some other reason for requiring a click to activate.
IMO the Eolas patent is an example of something that shouldn't have been patented and I'm also surprised that MS didn't mount a better defense with prior art. If they had put a call out for prior art the way that has been done via Groklaw on several occasions, they may have found better examples. For instance, Ray Ozzie claims Lotus Notes (which he created) used the same methods as described in the patent prior to the granting of the Eolas patent. That should have rendered that patent invalid. Unfortunately, the prior art they brought to the table's date couldn't be established and the judge prevented it from being used in the trial. In the end they had to pay more than half a billion dollars.
Microsoft was the first (and possibly only) browser maker to pay the licensing fee. If you were remembering it right, you'd remember that all browser makers, not just Microsoft, had to scramble to release "click to activate" updates for their browsers when the patent was deemed valid.
There are still sites even today, that are affected by that click to activate stuff. At least once a week I come across something I have to click twice and I don't even use Internet Explorer for sites other than my own.
Why stop there? Hold the makers of C++ responsible for the breach, as their code makes the browser possible.
I wonder when all those people will start demanding their cut of MS revenue since after all Win7 was their idea
exactly what I was thinking. Following that logic, they may as well target anything that relates to making a computer actually work.
Prototype... For that patent... That's a good one :goof::rofl::lol:
An obvious course of action for anyone threatened with a breach of a patent is to ask to have an independent third party do a comparison between their implementation and the prototype that forms the basis for the patent in order to determine whether they are similar enough in the way they work for there to be an issue. Of course most patent holders refuse such a request because they know that any such comparison will show that they are different enough for the patent to not apply.
Well the problem is any one can FILE a CLAIM for a patent. When people start to confuse a DESIRE with an IDEA, at the very least it can catastrophically clog the system.
This a technical forum 99% of us can tell the difference. Even in an artistic forum most people will be able to understand the TRUE concept of intellectual property. But both disciplines combine still only make up a sliver of the general pop. A population that has started confusing a desire or need with a solution. which is what I was trying to say earlier.
The people in my example would claim they invented the car, even though they knew nothing of physics, chemistry or mechanics.. because they felt there should be carriages with out horses.. way before Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach. (who technically only invented an IMPROVED coach utilizing gasoline).
ON a funny note, to support my argument. Look at the ad campaign for Windows 7. "Windows 7 was my idea" Yes, it's just a marketing campaign, but marketing campaigns often reflect a cultural wave.
So, what are the chances of this having an impact on the Internet similar to the patent that forced everyone but Microsoft (since they purchased a license) to force users to click Flash objects before they could interact with them ?
I don't understand why they're going after individual websites. I'd be going after browser makers if I were them.
I watched that whole thing unfold (via GrokLaw) from the beginning up until some time in 2008 when it became apparent that SCO was legally neutered and financial ruined. I wonder how their investors feel.
It was a pretty disgusting display of greed and power mongering. They really wanted to anyone ransom for using an operating system that they claimed used their copyrighted code but it was based on a hunch and they wouldn't provide any proof of infringement. Disgusting yet some of the victims actually paid.
I sure would have like to have been there when the courts declared that SCO didn't own the actual rights to the Unix codebase and that Novell still held them. That would have been a great day
Look at the wording of this one -- it's sufficiently vague it could mean anything, so you can't check prior art on it until they use the patent against someone -- therein defining it...
One 'cute' detail of patents, if you keep it completely vague you can interpret it however you like and many companies will give you $$$ to go away instead. For many smaller companies they don't have the deep pockets to drag it through the courts. It's the cornerstone of how patent trolls operate... especially companies who never actually developed anything and just buy up the rights to things TO sue companies for revenue. See "The SCO Group" post-Caldera... sad fate for a company that started out inheriting a legitimate anti-trust suit from... Novell (who inherited it from Digital).
Part of why I always liked Novell -- they've been around the bend a dozen times with patent trolls and will drag it the whole way through the legal system to squash them.
or are the honest ones female
Q: How can you tell when a lawyer is lying?A: His lips are moving.
Nothing worse then a lawyer.
I think this is in the wrong forum Paul, but that is besides the point. I get why we have patents on drugs, and stuff like that. When it comes to stuff like this, it gets gray, and down right stupid. This goes aloing with the Microsoft owning a patent on white space...

An explosion on a production platform in the Gulf of Mexico that left two workers missing is raising questions about the safety of offshore oil and gas operations a day after BP agreed to a record fine over its 2010 spill in the gulf.
The fire broke out 32 kilometres from shore on Friday, on a platform owned by Black Elk Energy Offshore Operations. It was extinguished and the platform is still structurally sound.
On Thursday BP accepted responsibility for a 2010 explosion at its Macondo well that killed 11 workers and resulted in the largest offshore US oil spill. BP agreed to plead guilty to manslaughter and pay $4.5 billion, including a record criminal fine.
The incident caused the US government to halt new deep-water exploration drilling permits for months and restructure its oversight of the industry.
Twenty-two people were on Black Elk's platform, which was not producing oil or natural gas at the time of the explosion, according to the Coast Guard. Eleven injured workers were flown to hospitals in the area.
''Today's accident makes clear that the hazards of oil and gas drilling are not in America's rear view,'' Frances Beinecke, the president of the Natural Resources Defence Council and a member of the commission that investigated the BP oil spill, said on Friday. ''Our leaders must keep that squarely in mind when considering where and how to allow further drilling along our coasts and in our communities.''
Four platform workers were in a critical condition.
A charter captain for Mexican Gulf Fishing Co, Scott Sullivan, was about 25 kilometres away from the platform when it exploded.
''I cast, and turned around and out of the corner of my eye caught a giant fireball,'' he said. ''Then they did all the maydays on the radio. As a boat guy, you never want to hear that.''
Unlike Macondo, the Black Elk explosion was not on a drilling rig and was in shallow water, about 17 metres deep. An oil sheen that measures 800 metres by 200 metres was reported near the Black Elk platform, the Coast Guard said. Two boats, two helicopters and a plane were being used in the search for the two missing people.
Frances Ulmer, a former member of the BP commission, said: ''Whenever there is a fire or a loss of life, it should prompt the government and companies to ask if we are doing enough to promote the safety culture.''

Whait a second here, do not put the bull in front of the wagon,... You could have all of the degree you want a PM is by definition a person that has a CREDIBILITY in a specific field of activity. A degree won't get you a job just because you did 6-7 yeras of Grad school. But rather experience and much more interaction with your peers will lead you to Manage Projects.

Relocating to GA in Lansing, Michigan

General Question if anyone in this forum can assist:
I have been laid off because my last employer had cash flow problems / technical product cert issues (failed to get UL certs for a new start-up company that I had joined from being a management consultant for over 8 yrs) and looking for work in Michigan for nearly a year.
I am thinking of relocating to GA and thinking of getting a PMI-PMP certification to stand out from the crowd. I have a MBA and certifications from GBCI-LEED, BPI-Building Analyst, and AEE (BEP)for primarily energy efficiency and building performance. Had Federal security clearance and worked for a government outsourcing contractor in the past as well. Will the PMI-PMP help in the job market in metro-Atlanta region? And if so, which companies are hiring?

Straight Talk from Ft. Worth INDEED. PMP is a baseline knit into your existing developer,manager,architect,engineer fabric. I so love optical & high end gear after 30 years of IT plumbing....yet every day I'm a new student working out.
Hey, new guy...fly to India and join a local TCS team or Anglo site. Open up some cross cultural skills, prove in @ an IT Helpdesk and pick up a few Unix/Network certs. Run the project $$ book and get IT done under budget because you filled the change control process....only then get a PMP. I'm sick of interviewing metrosexual queens who can hail a cab,look fab and fail miserably.
Be real, pay up and you will have your day....still looking join Special Ops,get shot at and every day after is real easy....

Gertrude in Tarpon Springs, Florida said: I am in the process of switching fields and its just not working. Even with a BBA in HR, a master in project management, my PMP and 10 years of experience in customer service and military, I still can't get a job. I'm doing something seriously wrong, I'm in the wrong place (Tampa Bay area), or I need construction or IT experience. One or all. Any advice would be appreciated, even a head hunter.
First and foremost they are correct without IT experince you can forget it, second your PMP is basically a joke no pun intended. That certification is just a piece of paper from a governing body who lets companies generate a number profile to account for points to verify their "own" people to be qualified to take a "test: which cost around $175 to get a piece of paper. Its BS, without proper field experience you won't make it. I used to require my engineers to be in field for me for at least 2 years doing "super's" work to get the field training needed to understand the functions of their scope of work. People with this "certificate" pmp or CCM from the CMMAA I would pretty much throw in the trash.

Here are some things you need to know about PMP before you go and sign up for the classes, the boot camps.
The person that said you need a godfather is totally correct.
So now PMP requires you to have 35 hours of classes. (Along with the hours)
Those classes cost $3500.
Also if an IT manager or Personnel manager refers you to the class they get a referral commission and I've seen this happen several times and anyone can get that referral commission.
Also when recruiting firms ask for PMP certification for a job and you don't have it they will say we can set you up for those classes (at your cost) they're just trying to make some additional money. That is happening here in Nashville quite a bit and those recruiting firms are affiliated with PMI here in town. They recruit for other positions as well but they make money with PMP.
So this has turned into not
LongTimePM and IT manager in Saint Louis, Missouri

So this has turned into nothing more then a money making scheme.
Also after you are certified you now have to pay them some amount each year to keep your certification and you arte required to take additional classes to get what they call PDUs and you have to have so many of those as well. Another way to generate more money on going.
I've been managing projects for 32 years and have never met anyone who did the required hours of experience before taking the test
I disagree with the person that said you don't need an IT background to be an IT project manager. Without a background in IT you will not know how to talk to persons in their respective areas or the correct questions to ask and understand the answers that they give you. You also need to know how things work together so you don't go down the wrong path and get yourself and the in trouble.
On half a dozen occasions in the past 4 years I've been asked to help the PMP certified Project Managers to get their project back on track or to get it back on schedule because they didn't know what they were doing in the real world. None of those persons had any background in IT or project management. Yet they took the test and now there project managers.
I've seen numbers that show that PMP managed projects have a failure rate of something over 60%. They don't meet costs, timelines requirements or quality standards. Much higher then the norm. Probably because the persons don't have the experience required to do the job.
Also PMP is playing catch up to other methodologies like SOX and Six Sigma and others and have changed several things to reflect the same functionally as the others. They just changed there names of the phases etc. I just bought the PMBOK V4 for reference and the changes they've made reflect the other methodologies more closely now then before.
I've taken classes for all of the above and several others dating back to 1977 and the fundamentals haven't changed.
Whenever a ce
LongTimePM and IT manager in Saint Louis, Missouri

Whenever a certification starts having you pay them an annual fee or requires you to take additional classes and pay them additional moneys then that certification is nothing more then a way to make money and is on its way down. Examples Novell, PowerBuilder, Microsoft etc. etc. etc..
Companies are starting to catch on and because of the above they are looking at PMP certification with skepticism.
I have been A CIO, Vice President, and director for 15 years and if I saw that someone said they were PMP certified because of the above and having been through it I would look for the persons with the experience.
If you already are an experienced project manager who are these persons to tell you that now you have to take there test and pay them several thousand dollars to prove that you can do what you've been doing for the past X number of years. They just want your money.

Not sure what all the fuss is about - in my experience, a PMP certification is about the most worthless credential ever. The PMs think they're the equivalent of a PhD in just about everything, nobody else attaches much value at all.

I would have to concur with LongTimPM in STL. I have a PMP and constantly get bypassed for openings where I work by people on the "inside" who have no Project Management training, education or experience whatsoever. Zero. Yet they get the PM jobs because they know the right person. Had a manager with 2 masters degrees leave a while ago because they were told they had to work for someone with simply a high school education. It's no mom and pop operation either; place has over 2,000 employees.

I know I'm on vacation right now, but I had to post another outfit post from Miami. There's just something about a beach location that just screams maxi dress. And when you're on the beach and you have to attend a pool party, you kind of want to dress up just a tiny bit. That's where this Torrid look came in.
What I'm Wearing: Torrid's Black Strapless Maxi Dress, Gold Hammered Chain Link Necklace, and Gold Hammered Chain Link Bracelet.
The dress is very simple and chic, that's what I immediately loved about it. Normally, I'm a size 1 at Torrid, so that's the size I ordered the dress in. I should've gone up a size to a 2. I had an issue with the bust being too small. Wonder if going up a size would help? And if it was up to me, the dress would've been about an inch or two longer. I'm 5'6, so it was fine with the sandals, but I love longer maxis. I can see the potential in the dress with those two areas fitting better. I adored the jewelry by the way!

A PUB landlord who waded waist-deep into floodwaters to rescue a woman from York's River Ouse has won an award for his bravery.
Dafydd Williams selflessly put his own life at risk to help the woman, almost certainly saving her life, said Chief Fire Officer Nigel Hutchinson.
Mr Williams, 33, who is the landlord of the King's Arms on King's Staith, swung into action when the woman jumped into the swollen river outside his pub last June.
"I was looking out of the window and she just disappeared," he said. "I asked a friend to ring 999 and I put on waders which we keep at the pub."
He said he then grabbed a life ring from near Ouse Bridge and ran along the staith as the woman was swept downstream.
He jumped on to a cruise boat pontoon and, up to his waist in water and holding on to a rail with one hand, grabbed the woman with the other hand as she was floating past.
He then hung to her until firefighters arrived in a boat, and rescued the pair of them.
"I was in there for about five or ten minutes," he said.
Mr Hutchinson, presenting Mr Williams with a Chief Fire Officer's commendation, said the pub landlord had been in a cold and tired state when the firefighters arrived, and the woman had been in grave danger.
"He put his own life at risk by entering the fast flowing Ouse in flood to rescue the woman," he said. "Without his actions, she would almost certainly have drowned."
He told Mr Williams: "You should be extremely proud of your actions."
The rescue came almost a year after barman Richard Horrocks jumped from a balcony into the river and drowned. His was the third death in the Ouse in 2011, and it sparked The Press' Think, Don't Swim campaign, which was backed by Mr Horrocks' family and encouraged people to think again before entering York's dangerous rivers.
Mr Hutchinson also spoke of the fire service's work in carrying out its own river rescues in 2012, which had been the wettest year on record leading to frequent flooding.
He said in four days in September alone, firefighters had attended more than 500 emergency incidents and rescued 175 people, while also pumping away millions of litres of water and trying to re-open vital transport routes such as the A1.

I purchased two of these chargers for my Moto Droid and i thought it was a good deal until they both burned out after a week of using them. I wouldn't recomend this product unless you only need the cord. I would instead recomened the original Motorola micro USB charger which you can also find here on Overstock.com and still for a portion of the price of what you would pay at your local wireless store, where the sales rep would sell you the same charger for $30 and then tag along a case, a car charger, a headset, or whatever else they can "bundle" for a so called "Discount". Although i wasn't fully satisfied with the product i must say that the the items where delivered in a timely manner which is always a plus, so overstock in that sense you get 5 stars. ThanksRead More

Porcello takes loss as Tigers dropped by red-hot Rays
Righty allows seven earned runs over 5 2/3 innings in series finale
DETROIT -- For the vast majority of Rick Porcello's brilliant first half of the season, he lived happily by his sinker.
Sunday night, with a chance to state his case for the American League's final All-Star Game roster spot, he died by it.
Former Tiger Matt Joyce got a hold of Porcello's signature pitch for a two-run homer that capped a three-run Tampa Bay first. The Rays went on to win, 7-3, behind 8 2/3 innings of David Price.
Porcello is one of five AL pitchers on the ballot for the 2014 All-Star Game MLB.com Final Vote Sponsored by Experian, but it was clear from the first inning that he wasn't going to make a very strong argument this night. Five of Tampa Bay's 11 hits off him came in the opening frame. The inning also marked the end of Porcello's 25-inning scoreless streak that included back-to-back shutouts.
Despite the rough outing in front of a national audience, Tigers manager Brad Ausmus maintained that his first-half ace still deserves an All-Star spot.
"Certainly, it's not indicative of the type of pitcher Rick is," Ausmus said. "His last couple starts were outstanding. It just so happens that, timing-wise, it wasn't great for him, but he certainly deserves to be an All-Star."
Early, Porcello struggled to grasp the lower part of the strike zone, which is where a sinkerballer breathes. It was a marked difference from Porcello's last outing, against the A's, in which he recorded 17 of 27 outs on the ground.
The ball was up, and it sailed out of the yard against him twice on a muggy night.
"When it gets up, it gets flat," said Ausmus. "You see more fly balls."
As the game progressed, Porcello began to locate with the two-seamer, but by that time, Tampa Bay had built a safe lead with Price on the hill. And some of the ground balls that Porcello did induce found holes in the Detroit offense.
Porcello also found himself working behind in counts for much of the night, like when he fell behind, 2-1, to Joyce.
"I got into a fastball count and it ran back over the middle of the plate," Porcello said.
The big right-hander recovered after the rocky first to retire 11 of the next 12 Rays. But, facing Price, the ace of the Tampa Bay staff who earlier in the day was anointed an AL All-Star, the Tigers had few chances to mount a serious comeback.
And the last batter Porcello faced, Desmond Jennings, knocked a two-run homer to left-center off a fastball with two outs in the sixth inning. Porcello tied season highs with two home runs allowed and seven earned runs allowed in the loss, his first in nearly a month.
Price allowed seven hits, with six strikeouts and three walks. He estimated that, of the 26 outs he recorded, 15 of them were hit "right on the screws."
"They hit me well," Price said. "They deserved better. … But I'll take it."
Ausmus agreed that his team mostly took good at-bats against the lefty. But, as the Tigers' skipper put it, "He's still David Price. … When they get a lead like that, we know it's going to be tough coming back against a guy like David Price."
The three blemishes to Price's linescore came in the first inning, when Miguel Cabrera scored Rajai Davis by way of a sacrifice fly; in the seventh, when Torii Hunter hit a solo shot; and in the ninth, when J.D. Martinez led off with a homer.
Two Tigers followed Martinez's homer by reaching base, but the rally fell well short. And Detroit, 10 games over .500 on the road, fell to just one game above .500 at Comerica Park.
The Tigers unanimously concluded that the Rays are a far better team than their 41-50 mark would suggest. But that didn't excuse dropping three out of four to Tampa Bay after a euphoric sweep of Oakland.
"It [stinks]," Hunter said. "We've been playing so well, and then these guys come. They're a better team than their record. Don't sleep. Those guys can play.
"We tried to battle back, we fought back today, we hit the ball hard, crushed the ball, just had no luck."

text: blueshogun96 2264 Report post Posted March 28, 2013 One thing I have been considering for my upcoming games is creating trailers. Tbh, I don't believe I've ever created a very effective trailer (one that I'd show to the public on a massive scale), but I'd like to ensure that I do not make common n00b or indie mistakes. There are some rules I've already read up on, and other (at least to me) are just downright common sense. What I did: 1. Made 3 video captures between 12 and 14 seconds. 2. Made some basic logos (to fit the style of the game). 3. Added some brief descriptions between footage. 4. Added a screen talking about what platforms the game will support as well as a copyright string at the bottom. 5. Used some basic and soothing music that would suit the game's genre and style (at least I tried to). What I didn't/refused to do: 1. Make the trailer longer then 90 seconds. 2. Waste time with flashy logos or put much emphasis on them. 3. Add some random heavy metal or techno song (really, anyone who uses "Let the Bodies Hit the Floor" as their trailer music is just asking for failure since people are notoriously tired of hearing it and will likely click the back button). 4. Do some lame commentary in the background. 5. Make an entire video with me just playing the game. What I believe I did wrong: 1. The screen at 0:24 saying "Simple but challenging gameplay ... and with progressive difficulty" probably wasn't a good idea since it looks obvious enough. 2. I didn't include a release date at the end. 3. I didn't include a link, or mention my website. 4. The X:Y coordinate debug output isn't very professional to have on a trailer. 5. Probably should fade out the music as it finishes. I'm sure there's more but that's what I've come up with at the moment. This isn't a trailer that I've made public because I already know it's not ready. And without further adieu, here it is. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8X1lVnQq5A[/media] Feel free to do your absolute worst. I like putting everything to the ultimate test before falling in love with it only to have my digital heart broken into a million and one pixels later. To be on the safe side, I assume that my game or my trailer is complete crap and let the masses decide. You guys have always been realistic and brutally honest (and sometimes downright douchey), but that's the type of critique I need right now. Thanks for watching.

The federal government is moving to close a loophole that exposes politicians to costly lawsuits.
Special Minister of State Gary Gray says MPs on all sides of federal politics will be indemnified for public and management liability and workers' compensation.
Mr Gray said the change, which does not require legislation, follows on from a recommendation in the 2010 Belcher Report - the first comprehensive review of MP entitlements in more than 35 years.
"In an increasingly litigious society ... politically motivated litigation has the potential to affect the work of MPs and the parliament," he said in a statement.
"The threat of litigation itself may affect behaviour in the parliament.
"We need to guard against this."
This would be done by purchasing management liability insurance, similar to that available to company directors.
The government has already implemented a number of Belcher recommendations like cutting expensive travel entitlements such as Life Gold Passes, overseas study travel and post-service travel.
The review had noted MPs weren't covered by public liability insurance for activities outside their electorate offices or parliament, leaving them exposed to potential civil claims.
Mr Gray said the new legal cover would apply from July 1.
But it won't cover wilful, reckless, dishonest, fraudulent or malicious acts.

SCHOOLS in Redditch and Bromsgrove are taking part in Switch Off Fortnight, part of a national education programme 'Pod' run by EDF Energy to encourage schools to reduce their energy use.
71 Pod schools throughout the county will be taking part in the fortnight, with recycling activities, saving energy, and using green transport to get to school.
Students at Birchensale Middle School in Redditch, and Finstall First School in Bromsgrove will also be taking their message home to try and spread their green message to their families and friends.
Robyn Thorn, EDF Energy's national education programme manager, said, "Switch off Fortnight continues to be a great Pod initiative that raises awareness of energy issues within schools and their local community. We hope it will spark year round energy saving behaviour. This year we're excited to be encouraging children to 'take it home', doing some of the great activities they're been working on at school back at home."
Olympic Gold medallist Katherine Grainger is backing the fortnight in Worcestershire schools.
She added: "I'm hoping the hundreds of thousands of children at all the schools taking part in Switch Off Fortnight put in gold medal performances. In rowing, conserving energy for the long haul is absolutely vital, and the same is true for how we use energy every day.
"What I've seen at just one Pod school is so inspiring. They are working hard as a community to become more sustainable and I'm not surprised that they are a gold medal Pod school. This year, children are taking the energy-saving message home and I'm sure will inspire family and friends to get involved."

A gay Plano couple is upset after a fun date night Sunday at Main Event was ruined when they were told they were not a family and asked to leave the venue.
Alberto Lesmes said he and his partner Chad Hemp went to the location at 3941 Central Expressway around 8:30 p.m. Sunday for a night of bowling. When their bowling lane continued to have technical difficulties, they requested a new lane.
Main Event Entertainment is a Dallas-based company with family entertainment centers featuring recreational bowling, billiards, laser tag and a unique selection of interactive games throughout Texas, according to its website.
Once the couple began to bowl in the new lane, a child from a large group next to them kept bowling in their lane. Lesmes said his partner went up to ask if they could be moved again. When Lesmes saw his partner get upset, he went over to speak to the manager on duty.
The manager was already irritated, Lesmes said, and said they were causing a problem by asking to be moved again. The manager asked if they were professional bowlers. When the couple replied they were not, the manager said the venue was a family environment. Lesmes said he told the manager he was with his family. When the manager asked where they were, Lesmes pointed to his partner and said they were family and wanted to enjoy their evening.
But the manager refused to move them to another lane and told them that they "were not family."

People recovering from a cerebral vascular accident (CVA), commonly known as stroke, no longer have to be saddled with visual deficits. There are new and progressive treatments to help make their lives better as well as the lives of their spouse or caregiver.
People who have had strokes can suffer many visual problems. These problems include:
We have all heard someone say, "Your eyes are your window to the world," and it's true. From birth through our elder years, 80 percent of what we learn is through the visual system, so, it's very important to have good visual abilities.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 9/7/2013 (1505 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I'm not close to my father, never have been. As a matter of fact, he was always a nasty person who would get drunk and loud and when I got older and had kids, he'd yell at my daughters about how terrible their mother was. Thankfully, I have a good relationship with my daughters so they never took him seriously. Now he's in his 80s and wants me to look after him, so he doesn't have to go into a home. Do I do it? I don't want to! -- A Bad Daughter, Winnipeg
Dear "Bad" Daughter: You don't have to look after him. Check out a book called Too Soon Old, Too Late Smart by psychiatrist Dr. Gordon Livingston M.D. where he's of the opinion that parents bring us into this world, so it is their duty to do their best with us and then age gracefully. It is our duty to succeed at life. Period. If a child chooses to look after an aging parent, as your father is suggesting, it should be done authentically or not at all. A burden that large with guilt as its foundation is rotten to the core and serves only to breed resentment -- which is no good for anyone. Visit your father when you like and make sure the nursing home is doing their job. Do not, under any circumstances, sacrifice another 10 years of your life to this hurtful man. Find a middle ground that eases your burden and go see a therapist to heal whatever psychological wounds he left you.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I'm tired of dating, and it's not because there's a shortage of men around -- it's my married friends who are driving me nuts. Because I'm at "that age" (over 40), they think my options are limited and they keep telling me I have to make some concessions if I want to be with anyone. And now, because I'm not dating, they think I've given up. First of all, I don't think my options are limited, but it's true I'm fussy. I've seen too many people "settle" with a partner only to look like they've had the life sucked out of them after six months. I'm also getting tired of people saying, "At our age, we have to take the good with the bad." Is it wrong to want a great guy? Have I been reading too many magazines? Is it all about compromise? -- Disheartened with Dating, Fort Garry
Dear Disheartened with Dating: Heck no. We won't go. Not down that aisle with the wrong person again! That's old news and old thinking. Back in the day a divorced or widowed woman sometimes had to "settle" because she had no career and no money and still had children to raise. Times have changed and women are naturally good at establishing nurturing relationships with other women, creating social groups and participating in community activities. They find that their lives are no less fulfilling for lack of a relationship. Most women would rather be single and happy than in a relationship that's draining. And, the same goes for men to an extent, although they don't bond as closely with their buddies and loneliness is a bigger problem. Good news: Maturing people improve their standards, although they must be more forgiving about natural changes in looks, like baldness and a few extra pounds. People can still expect new mates to be fit, attractive, well-dressed and sexually active though. So let your friends say what they will. Go for what you want and you'll never be sorry.

I don't want to write too much because I just started juicing. I thought this book was going to be a little bit more of a starter book. It has a ton of information that can be overwhelming as a beginner.Read More
this book gave me all the information I needed to be more than just a beginner juicer. I have tried several of the recipes and each one was good...some better than others but that is just individual taste.Read More
I bought this for a wedding gift with a juicer. I just looked at a few of the recipes and I was definitely inspired to juice!Read More
So I thought this book was going to be a standard recipe book cover to cover, but I was pleasantly surprised... It starts by describing the different types of juicers, both their strengths and weaknesses. Then it goes into a list of diseases or heath problems and what concoction would be the best, using the best kind of vegetable, fruit or herb. Its really pretty interesting to read about what fixes what and what to NOT use depending on your problem. If doctors didn't use medicine, and used home made juice remedies, this would be their reference. Great book!!Read More
Just started juicing, and this book is a great resource! I love that it breaks down into different health conditions, listing what foods help with them, then listing recipes in the book that will be beneficial. It also gave me some great ideas to creat juice recipes on my own. I liked it so much, I bought one for my sister, too!Read More
The book not only gave recipes to solve symptoms of many health problems but also descriptions of the herbs to be used and possibilities of where to purchase them locally. Some herbs sounded strange to be consumed, but after reading the descriptions we were more confident about trying to use them to combat our health issues, specifically gout and kidney stones.Read More
this book is a great resource for the beginning juicer like me. There are terrific recipies and a breakdown of all fruits and vegetables and their uses. There is also a guide that directs the reader to certain juice recipies that are particularlly good for certain ailments such as heart disease, etc. I only gave this 4 stars because about 3 days after using the book, the binding glue broke, which caused the pages to separate.Read More
I love this book! I look up ingredients I have handy in the index and find great juice recipes!Read More

HOUSTON - Police are looking for a group of burglars caught on camera breaking into a Shepherd Forest home.
Houston police said the burglary happened in the 1000 block of West 31st Street just after 9 a.m. on June 13.
The homeowner said she was running errands when she received a call from her alarm company that someone had broken into her home.
"You do feel kind of violated, like someone has come into your personal space," said the homeowner, who asked not to be identified.
Investigators said the burglars didn't avoid the security cameras inside and outside the home.
"Besides being scared about it, we're just grateful we weren't here, to be honest with you," said the homeowner.
Police said a silver Chevrolet Impala was seen pulling into the driveway.
Video showed a man get out of the passenger seat, walk up to the house and ring the doorbell. Police said they believe he was trying to see if the homeowners were there.
The man and his driver then left, only to return a few minutes later.
Then two men get out of the car and forced their way onto the property through the home's side fence, investigators said the video showed.
A backyard camera showed the men kick through a glass door.
A minute after they got inside, the alarm went off, sending the two men running out of the home, officials said.
"I don't like going to sleep and not knowing what's going to happen," said the homeowner.
The homeowner said she and her husband are afraid the men could strike again.
"We are more alert. We're beefing up the security and possibly getting a dog," she said.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.

The detail in this mold is extraordinary! This mold is so realistic, your pinecones will come out looking as if they were just collected! The mold is so easy to use, and best of all, nothing sticks to it!! This mold is very soft and flexible and can easily go from as high as 450 degrees to the freezer without affecting the mold! Kathy's Tip: Be sure to make your gumpaste ahead of time (by adding Tylose Powder to your Fondant), wrap it up and let it sit for 20-30 minutes so it can firm up slightly. Then place it into the mold, and it will come out much more easily, without stretching. Letting it sit in the mold for just a minute will help it come out even easier.These pinecones look fantastic painted with brown luster dust on the cones, and Holly Green Luster Dust on the pine needles.

When the manager says last night's loss reminded him of some of the games when they collapsed down the stretch, you know it was bad.
I am aware of the need for patience and understand pennants aren't decided in April. However, bad habits and attitudes can be forged early and the Mets aren't playing well.
-Aaron Heilman is a serious issue and they won't win anything until he's fixed.
-Carlos Delgado is also a problem, but the option is to hope for the best.
-Oliver Perez reminded us again of his unreliability. Get used to it.
-Situational and clutch hitting is erratic.
-We're not seeing Jose Reyes at the top of his game.
-Jorge Sosa is getting hit hard.

Redmond impressed with Stanton's raw power
JUPITER, Fla. -- Full-squad workouts don't get under way until Friday, but already baseballs were flying over the fence on the back fields at the Roger Dean Stadium complex. In shorts and a T-shirt, All-Star Giancarlo Stanton took batting practice on Wednesday morning.
"I watched him hit," first-year manager Mike Redmond said. "I know we lost a lot of balls out there on that field."
Stanton's presence is definitely felt, even during informal batting practice. Redmond is just now seeing the 23-year-old slugger's raw power firsthand. A former big league catcher, Redmond compared Stanton's force with that of Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire.
"I don't know if I've seen a ball jump off a bat like that since watching those guys play," Redmond said. "He gets that extension and leverage that very few guys are able to do. That's why everybody talks about him the way that they do. He's one of those special guys."
Stanton finished second in the National League in home runs last year with 37, which also is the second most by a Marlins player in a season.
Stanton hit in a group that also had Juan Pierre, Placido Polanco and Chris Coghlan.
Besides Stanton, Miami's lineup doesn't possess tremendous power. Who bats behind the slugger has yet to be determined.
"He's a monster in that lineup," Redmond said. "He's definitely that guy in the middle of that lineup, if you are on the other team, you can't let that guy beat you. It's going to be a tremendous opportunity for one of these guys to step up and hit behind him and have a chance to drive in a lot of runs. We'll see who that will be."
