Remembering those who defend us
By LCDR Charles Bloomer, USN (Ret.)
As we gather with our families to celebrate the Christmas season, we should take a few moments to consider the sacrifices our soldiers, sailors, marines, and airmen make in order to keep our country free. Military service is a full time, 24 hour a day, 7 day a week job. The defense of our country, our freedom, our way of life takes no holidays.
As a result, on Christmas day (as on every Christmas) there will be ships at sea full of sailors who would rather be home with their families. There will be soldiers standing guard in Korea, Bosnia and other foreign places. Marines will be ready to deploy. Airmen in faraway, exotic places will keep our Air Force ready to fly. Even those who get to be home with their immediate families are often thousands of miles from other family members.
Despite the fact that many will not be able to enjoy the holidays with their families, that many will be deployed at sea or in some foreign country, these young people who defend us will not falter. Military people understand dedication. They understand the importance of what they do. They understand the freedom they protect. These men and women in uniform carry on the legacy of pride and professionalism that previous generations bequeathed them.
It is because of the selfless dedication to duty of these sailors, soldiers, marines, and airmen that we can celebrate this holiday season at peace. Yes, there are conflicts in the world. Yes, we have people engaged in those conflicts. But our homes and our families are not threatened.
Currently, there are nearly a million and a half active duty military personnel. These men and women volunteered to defend our country. None were forced or drafted. By their own choice, they embarked on an adventure they could easily have avoided. Whatever their motivations patriotism, money, career aspirations, benefits these Americans have chosen to dedicate a portion of their lives to doing unpleasant tasks in unusual surroundings in order to preserve our freedoms.
Much has been said lately of the growing gap between civilian and military cultures. Some analysts are afraid that that gap will lead to an arrogant, uncontrollable military. But what these analysts fail to appreciate (or choose to ignore) is that the military has remained steadfast in its commitment to traditional American ideals. Military people believe in truth, courage, hard work, sacrifice, honor, character. We should be more concerned with the lack of respect that the civilian sector has for these values.
So take a minute during this season to remember those who defend you. These men and women are our sons and daughters, our nieces and nephews, our neighbors and friends. Maybe you know one of them. If you do, you can't help but be impressed by their professionalism and dignity. If you know someone in the military, send a Christmas card and tell him or her that you appreciate what he or she is doing to keep our country free. If you don't personally know someone in uniform, send a note to the Secretary of Defense or your member of Congress and ask him to pass on your thanks to the troops.
Freedom is not free.

Your dental health is important, and our patients' safety is our top priority. We want to assure you of the measures we take to maintain a clean and safe environment so you can continue to receive needed dental care without fear or concern. We are monitoring the COVID-19 situation and all CDC guidelines very closely.
Dental Sealants in Goshen, IN
Some people may believe that cavities are something that only children experience, and they would be wrong. While it's true that children have a high risk of experiencing cavities, that doesn't mean that when people get older they don't have to worry about experiencing this common dental issue. In fact, older individuals have a particularly high chance of experiencing tooth decay caused by cavities, which is why it's important for this demographic to be proactive about preventing them. While brushing, flossing and using mouthwash are all good ways to keep cavities at bay, our Goshen dentists can offer people another way to keep their teeth safe from this dental problem – sealants.
A sealant is a thin plastic coating that is applied to the back molars, which are the teeth that are used the most while chewing. These teeth have a high risk of developing cavities because they come in contact with all of the food you eat, and since they are in the back of the mouth they can be more difficult to thoroughly clean with brushing and flossing. This means that food can get stuck in the grooves of these teeth and act as food for the bacteria in the mouth, which will in turn attack tooth enamel and cause cavities.
Applying these sealants is entirely painless. When people come in for sealant treatment they will simply have the plastic coating painted on their teeth and then it will immediately harden and begin protecting the teeth. Sealants can only be seen from very up close – pick a new phrase, and since they are on the back teeth, no one will even know they are there. Sealants can be clear, white or slightly tinted to match the look of natural teeth.
Dental sealants are often applied to children and teenagers, but our Goshen dentists offer them for patients of all ages.
Why should people consider a dental sealant? Decay can damage a tooth permanently and if left untreated it can lead to a person needing a root canal or some other extensive dental procedure. However, dental sealants will help prevent a cavity from occurring in the first place, potentially saving people time and money. Sealants can last for up to 10 years, and can easily be reapplied if they wear off. People who are interested in giving their teeth added protection from cavities should visit our Goshen dentists today.

You name it, they have a turbo upgrade. BoostAddict did not know how large their reach was until speaking with Simon Sharp of Sharp Motorsport Ltd.
This network of sites can often be quite critical as we question pricing trying to keep vendors honest and being located in the USA we use dollar priced products as the barometer. Now is a good time to mention we were very wrong in our criticism of TTE's Porsche 991.2 GT2 RS TTE1200 VTG turbo upgrade.
Why? Because much like the X51 package for the Porsche 991.2 3.0 Carrera models a VIN must be provided to Porsche to get the turbochargers which are then modified. Buying Porsche factory parts directly is not cheap. There are few VINS to go around and few GT2 RS owners that modify their cars.
It is not the same as machining some housings off a volume model and the price reflects the cost of the VTG's to begin with from Porsche then the work TTE has to do in order to get them to support a 1200+ horsepower level of output. PorscheBoost got it wrong saying the price was absurd.
On the bright side, TTE Global is aboard the network as a premium vendor and they are expanding their reach worldwide. APR recently tuned some 2.5 TFSI models equipped with TTE hybrids for example.
Additionally, TTE offers the largest volume of hybrid turbocharger upgrades in Europe. Many of those big Euro tuning houses you hear of go to TTE and private label. We will not name names but you have likely heard of a certain very big Porsche tuner with a single syllable name. Yep, they go to TTE. As do some AMG tuning houses by the way.
They are number one for a reason and it is because their products work. Yes, on a direct dollar conversion some of their turbos are more expensive than US competition but you know what you get for that money? A quality product that works and lasts. They are not sourcing cheap Chinese garbage. People will pay for quality.
BoostAddict will cover the TTE Global product line: https://tteglobal.com/
You can expect to see more of their turbo upgrades in the USA.
Welcome aboard TTE Global!

I used to be a Jesus freak. I bought bibles and bibles and bibles. None of them satisfied me. By chance, I read about the Johns Hopkins University Hospital treating schizophrenics by treating them with secular humanism. I read all the atheist and secular books at the Hawaii State Library. I have not been in a hospital since 1999.
just came back to california from Maui and saw my first really stupid "christer" sign while on the island...it was in high country and read..."stop thinking and start praying"... hand written and on the side of a little mountain, store front homemade church.
whats up with all the churches?!?!

Scientists on an aerial survey of Antarctica have come across an 18-mile-long break in an ice shelf — a sign that the sensitive area is giving birth to an iceberg that will be larger than New York City.

"We are actually now witnessing how it happens," Michael Studinger, project scientist with NASA's IceBridge survey, said in a statement Wednesday. "It's part of a natural process but it's pretty exciting to be here and actually observe it while it happens."
The scientists were aboard a NASA jet on Oct. 14, making measurements of Pine Island Glacier and its ice shelf, when they came across the crack.
Glaciers naturally give birth to icebergs, but scientists are concerned that warming temperatures might be destabilizing those in Antarctica and Greenland by eroding the ice shelves floating on water that hold them back up against the mainland.
Without the ice shelves, those glaciers could flow much faster into the ocean, raising sea levels.
Scientists call Pine Island Glacier "the largest source of uncertainty in global sea level rise projections," NASA noted in its statement.Story: More weather disasters ahead, climate experts report
"It is likely that once the iceberg floats away, the leading edge of the ice shelf will have receded farther than at any time since its location was first recorded in the 1940s," NASA noted.
The team estimated the ice might finally break away from the shelf "in the coming months" now that the Southern Hemisphere is entering its summer.
Pine Island Glacier last calved a large iceberg in 2001.
The NASA team measured the rift at about 820 feet apart at its widest, and about 260 feet wide along most of the crack.
The deepest points were nearly 200 feet.
The ice shelf around the rift is about 1,640 feet thick, the team estimated.
"When the iceberg breaks free it will cover about 340 square miles of surface area," NASA stated. By contrast, New York City comes in at 302 square miles.
As far as icebergs go, however, 340 square miles isn't anywhere near a record. A few have topped several thousand square miles and the record is a 12,000-square-mile behemoth spotted in 1956.

BastardChef: MasterChef Music
Monday, May 07, 2012
Here's the thing: after the initial success of Masterchef, they got Matt Preston to put his mug on the cover of a compilation CD.
It had a nice title with a pun in it: Music from Another Platter.
It had a varied line-up of artists old and new.
It claimed to be music for cooking and eating.
I think it was a missed opportunity, particularly given that Matt Preston set out as a music journo and ended up a food critic.
I reckon he should have compiled the best collection of songs about food.
But he didn't.
So I've done it for him: what with the premiere of the 2012 season of Masterchef, I present Bastard Chef.
It's actually a boxed set.
This is the track listing of volume one:
- Yummy Yummy Yummy I Got Love In My Tummy - Ohio Express
- Watermelon Man - Herbie Hancock
- Vegetables - Beach Boys
- St Alfonso's Pancake Breakfast/Father O'Blivion - Frank Zappa/Mothers
- Cook of the House - Linda McCartney & Wings
- Crawfish - Elvis Presley
- Cook Cook Blues - Rolling Stones
- The Raspberry Song - The Goons
- Popcorn - Hot Butter
- Beans & Cornbread - Louis Jordan and the Tympany Five
- Chewy Chewy - Ohio Express
- Agita - Nick Apollo Forte aka Lou Canova
If you want, you can listen to the album below. While you read through the track list in better detail. Go on, you know you want to. If you like them very much indeed to the point of wanting to own them, there are links to Amazon. You may prefer to keep your own local music store alive if you still have one; if you don't, the Amazon purchase will aid the upkeep of this blog, which is nice.
By the way, the cover artwork is by Alex E. Clark. (If you can only see an expanse of white immediately below, check this out on a computer rather than your phone or tablet.)
Bastard Chef from standanddeliver on 8tracks.
1: Yummy Yummy Yummy - Ohio Express
'Bubble gum' is a genre of pop that came into being in the late '60s when the kid brothers and - more importantly - sisters of the swingin' youth were getting to a record buying age. So it mostly consists of producer- and session-musician driven, sickly sweet ditties designed for tweens and teens buying singles. 'Yummy Yummy Yummy' is a prime example – but don't dismiss it. Fundamental truths are often communicated in the simplist aphorisms.
Even if 'Yummy yummy yummy/I got love in my tummy' doesn't resonate with the authority of a quote from Shakespeare or Dylan – the 'Love, you're such a sweet thing/Good enough to eat thing' might get us into Rochester territory – often the truest food of love is, in fact, food. And there's no denying that the love of food is one of the truest loves there is. (Just ask Matt Preston and his fellow judges.)

2: Watermelon Man - Herbie Hancock
If there's one thing you learn from MasterChef, it's the importance of fresh ingredients and the value of establishing relationships with providores: going to growers markets when you can't grow your own. Of course, back in the day, they used to come to you – hence the 16-bar blues of 'Watermelon Man': inspired, according to composer Herbie Hancock, by the memory of the watermelon man who made his way through the backstreets and alleys of Hancock's neighbourhood in Chicago. He distinctly recalls the rhythm of the wheels on the cobblestones, apparent in the groove of the piece.
Recorded for Hancock's first album, the 1962 Blue Note album Takin' Off, 'Watermelon Man' proved a modest hit before Mongo Santamaria turned it into a massive Latin pop hit the following year. It soon became a jazz standard. Hancock reworked it into an altogether funkier tune for his early '70s album Headhunters. There is a vocal version that makes obvious use of the unmistakeable 'watermelon man' cadence.

3: Vegetables - The Beach Boys
'Vegetables' – not only delicious, but good for you too. The hippies knew it. Hence this paean to the edible parts of plants. Originally intended for Smile, the long, lost Beach Boys masterpiece that was meant to be a follow-up to Pet Sounds. But Smile was shelved with much drama, intrigue and subsequent denials and recriminations, thought never to see the light of day again. Until Brian Wilson released a solo version of it earlier this millennium. And then the original Smile sessions were excavated for a mammoth boxed set that included a reconstruction of the lost masterpiece in 2011.
However, back in the day, when for whatever reason the original was shelved (Wilson's paranoia, stoked by summer of love chemical refreshments; the rest of the band's disinterest; the record label balking at the mounting costs of hippies frittering away their money…), the song was salvaged for the less spectacular album that was eventually released: Smiley Smile.
Apparently the 'tuned percussion' of munched vegetables include the chomping talents of Paul McCartney, who happened to pop in to the studio during the Smile sessions.

4: St Alphonso's Pancake Breakfast/Father O'Blivion - Frank Zappa/Mothers
In the early-to-mid-'70s Frank Zappa led his most jazzy line-up of the Mothers of Invention. They were (like all of Zappa's bandmembers) musicially brilliant, irrespective of the silly lyrics they were called upon to underscore – and I say that as someone who digs the silly lyrics!
To give you some idea of how well-rehearsed the band was, it's been told (by a local muso who hung out with Zappa's trumpeter, Sal Marquez, on the 1973 Aussie tour) that at any time, Frank could call upon a bandmember, naming a song and a bar. The musician was then expected to hum their corresponding part.
'St Alphonso's Pancake Breakfast' and 'Father O'Blivion' are two songs that make up the four-song suite that opens the album Apostrophe (') (it begins with 'Don't Eat The Yellow Snow', followed by 'Nanook Rubs It'). Another track, 'MAH-JUH-RENE', was recorded, but edited out of the final master before it was released; it may have fitted between 'St Alphonso's Pancake Breakfast' and 'Father O'Blivion' but it's hard to ascertain – a live recording from Sydney 1973 puts it after 'St Alphonso', but that rendition opens with 'Father O'Blivion' before proceeding to 'Don't Eat The Yellow Snow' and 'Nanook Rubs It'.
I'll leave it up to you to find the deeper meaning; I just love listening to that band play - Ruth Underwood's percussion especially - with Frank up front, singing lead.
Find it: on the CD Apostrophe ('). Not available for download.
5: Cook of the House - Linda McCartney and Wings
This song, essentially a low-fi blues jam, was written in Australia during – or perhaps just after – the Wings tour of 1975. It was recorded in early 1976 for the album Wings at the Speed of Sound. The album came out in March, giving the band an album to tour behind when they went back on the road (their 'Wings over the World' tour culminated in the US in 1976).
The story goes that Paul and Linda were staying in a house whose kitchen had everything they could possibly need, laid out around them pretty much as described in the song. The white noise of frying oil that opens and closes the song is a nice touch.
Wings at the Speed of Sound has always stood out as a particularly 'group' album - with everyone getting a go on lead: Denny Laine sings lead on 'Note You Never Wrote' and 'Time To Hide'; Jimmy McCulloch sings lead on 'Wino Junko'; Joe English sings lead on 'Must Do Something About It'.
'Cook of the House' was Linda's contribution. It also appeared on the flipside of the 1976 single 'Silly Love Songs'. And hardcore fans of Linda McCartney will know 'Cook of the House' also appears on Wide Prairie, a posthumous compilation widower Paul put together in 1998.
Irrespective of your thoughts on Macca's missus, 'Cook of the House' has a certain charm. Matt Preston please note: it is the most cooking of cooking songs.
Find it: on Wings at the Speed of Sound and Wide Prairie. Meanwhile, download it here.
6: Crawfish - Elvis Presley
In January 1958 Elvis Presley was able to defer his entry into the United States Army to March of that year, in order to make one of his few critically and commercially successful films: King Creole.
It's a bout a 19-year-old Danny Fisher whose mother died, and now finds himself having to help support his family after his dad dropped his bundle and the family was forced to moved to the impoverished area of New Orleans. Despite being well-meaning and diligent, Danny finds himself entangled with gangsters and two different women.
The film opens with 'Crawfish', a duet with jazz vocalist Kitty White on what sounds like the classic work song – the work song sung, say, by the fishmonger who'd push his icecart through the back alleys of neighbourhoods selling his latest catch. Those days are long gone, not so much because of the lack of pavement-bashing fish mongers, but because BP went and destroyed the fishing industry for good in that part of the world.
Find it: on the King Creole soundtrack.
7: Cook Cook Blues - Rolling Stones
As with all of the workhorse blues workouts the Stones are wont to record during album sessions, this is essentially an extended warm-up jam kept for a single flip-side. The lyrics are the customary underdeveloped sketches about sex, the music, an opportunity for the band to stretch out and have fun.
This one was committed to tape between 1982 and 1989 – meaning it could date from the sessions for Undercover (released 1983), Dirty Work (1986) or Steel Wheels (1989). Or perhaps all three, since the Stones still like to pull out an old song and finish it for a new album (or a new deluxe re-release of an old album, as the bonus discs of Exile on Main Streetand Some Girls demonstrate).
'Cook Cook Blues' saw the light of day as the flipside of the 1989 single 'Rock and a Hard Place' (from Steel Wheels), but features both the original Stones ivory tickler Ian Stewart, who passed away in 1985, and former Allman Brothers Bandmember Chuck Leavell, responsible for much '80s Stones ivory ticklage, suggesting an early='80s recording that was possibly polished and edited for late-'80s release.
I love the way it begins mid-song – as though what took place before the fade-up wasn't quite worth keeping. Or, perhaps, there was no initial plan to tape the jam, but it suddenly got good, so the person in charge of pressing 'record' suddenly did.
Find it: with difficulty! Completists will locate it on the 45-disc boxed set The Complete Singles (1971-2006), worth it for so many other hard-to-get gems!
8: The Raspberry Song - The Goons
In the late-'70s, Spike Milligan, Peter Sellers and Harry Secombe – collectively known as The Goons thanks to their long-running radio program The Goon Show – had a reunion of sorts: they recorded a couple of tracks that were issued as a single, and then compiled on an album called Unchained Melodies. One of those songs was The 'Raspberry Song'.
You know how important it is to health and diet to stick to the seasonal fruits and veges! 'The Raspberry Song' is about nothing, if not seasonal fruits. (That is, it's about nothing!) Thus, just like the raspberry, that trademark sound effect so beloved of Spike Milligan, the song pretty much speaks for itself.
Find it: on the recently remastered and reissued Unchained Melodies: Complete Recordings 1955-1978.
9: Popcorn - Hot Butter
Popcorn is everyone's favourite treat! And – apart from, perhaps, Lolly Gobble Bliss Bombs – something that exists only in and of itself. What else can you 'cook' or 'prepare' with popcorn? Only other forms of candy, apparently. Fittingly, 'Popcorn' it's also everyone's favourite instrumental – you know it, you've always known it, even if you never knew its name.
This legendary piece was originally written and recorded in the late '60s by Moog maestro Gershon Kingsley for his 1969 album Music to Moog By . Hot Butter, an instrumental covers band who gave everything the Moog treatment, recorded it – along with other hits of the day like 'Day By Day' from the Jesus musical Godspell, Neil Diamond's 'Song Sung Blue', the Tornadoes' 'Telstar' and the Shadows' 'Apache' – for their self-titled album in 1972.
It was a worlwide chart-topper, doing amazing business in unlikely countries. It was France's fastest-selling number one single, for example. It was also number one in Australia for ten weeks. Which is why it seems to be etched into everybody's psyche in Australia, irrespective of age.
Find it: as the title track on the album Popcorn. Download it here.
10: Beans and Corn Bread - Louis Jordan and the Tympany Five
Beans and corn bread sounds like everyman's food – traditionally 'poor people food'. The stuff MasterChef celebrates, as long as it has some sophisticated twist, or is plated up nicely. Fittingly, 'Beans and Cornbread' was everyman's music, the distinctive tenor saxophone opening typifying the 'jump blues' genre of the 1940s: big bands have given away to smaller, tighter combos that play a faster and more furious groove. It was very popular inded, hence Louis Jordan making a name for himself as 'The King of the Jukebox'.
'Beans and Corn Bread' sounds like there's a message being imparted about friendship and getting along, but it's all threat and bluster until they realise they belong together. Seems like there's not enough substance to read anything into. The song proved a highlight in the soundtrack to Spike Lee's film Malcolm X. And, it turns out, there was a tradition where the Space Shuttle launch crew were fed beans and corn bread following a successful launch.
Find it: on the compilation Best of Louis Jordan. Download it here.
11: Chewy Chewy - Ohio Express
Really? Two songs by the same group on this compilation? What was I thinking? But 'Chewy Chewy' is the companion piece to 'Yummy Yummy Yummy'. In fact, I'd argue it's the better song – 'a mouthful of cute things to say' is far more erudite than 'having love' in one's 'tummy'. (The other song that is easy to lump with those is the far superior 'Bread and Butter' by the Newbeats – look out for it on a future compilation, I promise.)
Find it: on the compilation Yummy Yummy Yummy: Best of the Ohio Express. Download it here.
12: Agita - Nick Apollo Forte, aka Lou Canova
This is where the collection should have begun – the ultimate song for people who are prone to fall madly in love. With food. (Matt, this should have been on your compilation!)
'Agita' opens the Woody Allen classic Broadway Danny Rose, about the biggest loser of a showbiz manager there is – the title character, portrayed by Woody himself. How can he make a living when his books include a one-armed juggler, a one-legged tap-dancer, and a ventriloquist with a stutter? His one chance at the big time is the lounge singer Lou Canova – except Lou's got a thing for extra-marital affairs, and his latest mistress is a gangster moll (played by Mia Farrow).
Lou's signature song, the theme to the film, is this ballad inspired by over-eating and woman trouble. Both lead to the heartburn known, in Italian dialect, as 'agita'.
Find it: on the album Legacy, available from Nick Apollo Forte's homepage. But do yourself a favour: enjoy the song in context, and watch the film Broadway Danny Rose. Best value is the The Woody Allen Collection boxed set.

Fearless Females #11- 21
Grandfather Lee HOFFMAN's sister Grace Hoffman SCOTT died young, it affected everyone at that time. I am told Cancer took her. I later learned cancer took more of the family down line. Some very recently.
Please do your Medical Genealogy and save a life.
Fearless Females: Working Girl
Rachel Plants Hoffman made hats for a side work. She taught this trade to her daughters.
Inez Scott Hoffman worked in a Line and Twine in NE when young.
Mom (Dorothy Inez Hoffman JONES) worked in school cafeteria making sandwiches and sharing time with the students. She loved doing this.
Fearless Females: Moment of Strength
This is tough to choose whom. I could write a book on the tough females in my lineage.
Mom for her not dying every time a Doctor told she was going to starting in 1979. 1980 she had a five bypass in four. Was told she had five years to live. She endured many years beyond with another pass maker changed and other things done. Doctors would say you are going to die and she kept on living.
Loneliness and disappointment finally took away her strength to continue to live, this Jan 10, 2011.
Grandmother Inez Hoffman for enduring a child hurt playing and after many years of watching him regress, had to put in a home and they lost him when he was 16 or 15. Mother never allowed us to jump on beds or trampolines due to the injury that caused her to loose her little brother.

She lost four children young or babies. One son died the day after Christmas preparing to go and propose to his bride to be. After fighting in the CW, saddling a horse had heart attack and did not survive.
Letter written by his Dad whom was there when it happened gave full account.
Very hard to loose a child, especially semi grown.
I suspect we would eat what ever was prepared as I was taught. I learned this family ate many Germanic Dutch English foods.
Fearless Females: Social Butterfly?
O dear, Margaret Mae Eastman Foulk, Grandmom's mother. Gadded about more than expected.
Her daughter IDA, did much social church work when older and retired from working also. Especially since she married a WYOMING Senator.

I have had a great time reading your last two posts. It is amazing how many stories there are out there and this is only a handful of them. Everyone has a story out there. Good job finding them! Just curious..how do the DuValls we are mutually related to tie in? That got me wondering after you mentioned the cancer in your family. It makes me want to go research my medical history a little more closely...cousin Susan (still getting a hang of how to post on blogs!)ReplyDelete
GGrandfather Franklin C Hoffman who walked behind the wagon coming west with his father Sanford Huffman/Hoffman and wife Rachel Plants Hoffman, married Samantha Abigail DuVall. I suspect they traveled in the same train at the same time. GG Frank was about 13/4 or so when they came to Iowa. Will put a post on her in next series. So good to hear from you.ReplyDelete

Hello All,
My hive is in the back yard in a residential area. I will be doing swarm prevention methods as well, but to prevent swarms causing issues, what do you think about clipping one of the queen's wings and having the hive on a stand high enough to place a 5 frame Nuc underneath?
So since the queen can hardly fly, landing on the ground, the swarm would go into the Nuc instead. I would then be able to see when they have swarmed and deal with the queen cells in the original hive.
Does anyone have experience with this?

Our resident racer Robb Holland keeps some pretty interesting company, so when he said he had video of a young woman hooning a Lamborghini we said "gimme gimme gimme."
Here's how Holland sets up the video for us:
Multiple choice quiz
The reason why you don't let this girl drive your Lamborghini
Is it:
A) She'll fry the clutch.
B) She'll crash it into the curb.
C) It will catch fire ... oh wait it's not a Ferrari
C) She'll drive it up a tree.
D) She'll drive it far better than you ever could and make you look like a no talent hack
Oh sorry did I forget to mention this "girl" is actually Sara T., a good friend of mine and also one of the top female stunt/precision drivers in the industry?
The hamster in the Kia Commercials? Yeah that's her.
The big stuffed toy monkey in those Sorrento ads? Yeah, that's her. She's also the stunt double for Grace Park on Hawaii 5-0. You get the picture.
Oh, but you say "I can do a flip turn just like that too. No prob."
So what you're telling me is that you've got the balls to do a flip turn in a brand new $250k, 60-hp supercar with the owner not only standing there but video taping the whole thing? Really?
But as it happens Sara doesn't need balls to pull that off. Turns out they just get in the way.
Well, she can borrow our's anytime. Our cars. I mean.

A running discussion on the Cincinnati Reds and everything else in the baseball universe.
Sunday, January 16, 2011
Reds Extend Votto. Good idea????
Early word is that the Reds signed Joey Votto to a three-year extension worth $38M.
In Major League Baseball, contracts are guaranteed. In essence, unless a player retires or kicks the bucket, he will be entitled to every last dollar under that contract. As a result, MLB contracts are, to a certain extent, risk shifting mechanisms. The longer the contract, the more risk incurred by the franchise. The shorter the contract, the more risk incurred by the player. And, in the case of Joey Votto, who was already under team control for the next three seasons, this contract is largely about managing the risk.
The problem with this contract is that the Reds incurred risk unnecessarily. Even if the Reds had decided to go year-to-year with Votto through the arbitration process, they still had the power to keep Votto in Cincinnati for the next three years. But, by going year-to-year, they would have forced Votto to incur the risk of injury or poor performance. Instead, the three-year extension operates to shift that risk to the organization.
So, what exactly did the Reds get for incurring the extra two seasons of risk? Typically, when an organization buys out the arbitration years of one of its young players, the player agrees to give up a season or two of free agency in exchange for the guaranteed financial security. Under that scenario, the organization agrees to incur the added risk, but receives the benefit of an extra season or two of control over that player. Both sides obtain something of value, as the player gets financial security for life by shifting the risk to the organization, while the organization gets a couple extra seasons of control over that player in exchange for incurring the risk.
So, the question remains, what exactly DID THE REDS GET for taking on the extra two seasons of risk?
Well, they clearly didn't secure any extra years of control over Votto, so the only thing they can hope to have achieved is cost savings. But, realistically, how much cost savings did they get?
John Fay recently reported that Votto was likely to ask for between $8.5-9.5M in arbitration this year with the Reds countering at around $7M.
If we break it down, I think there's a good chance that Votto would win his arbitration case. Let's assume that he asks for $9M. The MLB arbitration process is based in part on the market, which in this case is defined as players eligible for arbitration for the first time. The most obvious comparison for Votto's arbitration case would be Ryan Howard.
In 2008, Ryan Howard won his arbitration case after asking for $10M with the Phillies countering with $7M. While some will argue that Howard was coming off the better season, I think it's clear that Votto was the better player. And, coming off an MVP award, it would be difficult to come up with a compelling case AGAINST Votto's salary demand.
So, if it had gone to arbitration, Votto would likely have earned ~$9M in 2011. Taking that away from the total value of the three-year extension and you have $29M remaining. Basically, Votto would have had to get MORE than $14M in 2012 and $15M in 2013 for the Reds to reap any financial savings on the contract extension.
I just don't see a ton of cost savings here for the Reds. If Votto strings together two more seasons like he had last year, then he would probably receive more through arbitration than he is set to receive under the contract extension. If Votto won $9M in arbitration in 2011, then a repeat performance would reasonably get him a $5M raise. So, the estimated $14M in salary for 2012 under the extension seems pretty reasonable for Votto. And, if he puts together another strong season in 2012, then I could see him earning somewhere in the $17-20M range for his final season, which would be better than the estimated $15M he'll earn under the contract. Of course, that entire scenario comes with the rather large IF regarding Votto's ability to stay healthy and productive over the next two seasons. Forcing him to go through arbitration would have left that rather sizable IF (and the risk that comes with it) resting on Votto's shoulders.
For this deal to make sense, the Reds needed to get an extra season or two of control over Votto. Jocketty should have played hardball with Votto, informing him that if he wants the guaranteed financial security, then he'll have to surrender two years of free agency. In an offseason defined by the length of the contracts being thrown around, it's surprising the Reds couldn't do better here than a three-year extension.
Instead, the Reds took on the risk and got little in return for doing so. They may save a few million on the back end of the deal, but that's only true if Votto continues to be healthy and produce at near MVP levels.
Now, admittedly, there are other factors at work that militate towards signing Votto to an extension that buys out solely his arbitration eligible seasons. First, arbitration is an ugly process. The team is forced to bad mouth the player in order to drive down his cost. And, understandably, that can lead to bad blood between the player and organization. It's not a fun process for either side. Second, a player of Votto's caliber has the ability to establish record breaking awards in every arbitration cycle. If that happened, he would establish a new benchmark for every subsequent arbitration hearing, which is an undesirable result for the other owners as it would operate to drag player salaries higher. Still, while these other factors certainly bear mentioning, I don't see either as a reason not to force Votto to go year-to-year unless he is wiling to forfeit a year or two of free agency.
As for Votto, he did quite well here. He obtained his financial security without having to delay his free agency eligibility. And, judging by the length of the deal, it is now very clear that Votto either wants out of Cincinnati or wants to test the lucrative waters of free agency. Regardless of whether it's the former or the latter, it now seems increasingly unlikely that Votto will spend the bulk of his career in Cincinnati, as the next time his contract is negotiated the Reds will likely be competing with the Yankees, Red Sox, Blue Jays, and others.

Good will (from Votto, MLB Owners and the fans) and cost certainty is about all they got. Not sure it much matters, sure they took on some risk but in this case I don't know how they could avoid it without also losing something. This whole Votto thing is a cruel reminder that this is a business. But the Reds have taken on the risk and ironically did it with an eye towards something more than business?ReplyDelete
Yeah, I suppose there is some goodwill to be gleaned from this deal. And, I suspect, there is some value to continuity, but I still would have been damn tempted to force him to go year-to-year. I do, however, understand Votto's likely problem.
I suspect he only wanted a three year deal because he's already 27. So, when he hits free agency it'll be an easier to land a massive 6-7 year deal if he's 30 when he hits the market. If he's 32 or 33, then he won't get such a huge deal. Right or wrong, I suspect he'll believes he'll get two big contracts by not going beyond 3 years in this extension.
Either that or he simply wants to go play in Toronto.
Anyway, thanks for the comment!
still cant fathom why we would agree to this without AT LEST 1 year of his free agency... wierdReplyDelete
Yeah, I would have been seriously tempted to play hardball, but I suppose it's probably not worth it. The Reds are a good team and don't need the distractions that come from contentious contract negotiations.
In the end, I still think it all comes down to Votto wanting two big contracts over the remainder of his career. But, Votto's comments that he wanted a three year deal and it had nothing to do with wanting to get to free agency are a bit disingenuous.
He seems baffled that would anyone would infer that his desire for a contract length that only buys out his arbitration years as a sign that he wants to hit free agency. Odd.
Anyway, what's done is done. We won't have to worry about it for another 2 years. Hopefully those are good ones for the organization.
Thanks for the comment!

When the Jesuits try to explain the background of their mission in education, they frequently point to the experience of their founder Ignatius of Loyola and his early companions. Their spiritual experiences provided the ground work for the educational system that quickly developed after the founding of the Society of Jesus in 1540.
Today the term "Ignatian" is used to describe all sorts of praiseworthy educational and formational developments; some, however, are only tangentially related to the experience of Ignatius and his companions.
Sometimes the use of Ignatian terms devolves into jargon. One of the most commonly misapplied Ignatian term is the Latin cura personalis, which means care for the individual person.
The personal care for students is hardly a unique Jesuit value. Claiming that cura personalis is distinctively Jesuit is tantamount to trying to copyright the alphabet. Perhaps there have been some cultures and schools where teachers were not expected to care about the students as persons. They are certainly the exception. The Jesuits have no monopoly on cura personalis, a quality one expects every teacher to have.
The first documented use of the term cura personalis in a Jesuit context appeared in a 1951 letter to provincial superiors by Jean-Baptiste Janssens, S.J., superior general of the Jesuits. He urged the provincials to balance their concern for the welfare of Jesuit schools and other institutions with a care for individual Jesuits. Assignments of Jesuits should not be made solely for the benefit of the works; the provincial must also exercise cura personalis and consider the personal needs of the Jesuits.
Janssens would have been surprised to hear to how Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke used the term in February 2012, in her protest against the university's decision not to offer health insurance coverage for birth control. She said
... We expected women to be treated equally, to not have our school create untenable burdens that impede our academic success. We expected that our schools would live up to the Jesuit creed of cura personalis, to care for the whole person, by meeting all of our medical needs.
Misunderstandings like this one develop when one removes the Ignatian term from its original context.
The term cura personalis was not widely used in Jesuit educational circles until about 30 years ago. For centuries, the Jesuits certainly practiced personal care for their students, but they did not write about it as if it were a constitutive part of the Society's charism. Perhaps the contemporary concern for cura personalis reflects our own historically conditioned context, rather than a value deeply rooted in the spiritual experience of Ignatius and the other the early Jesuits.
Personal care for students is an essential in any educational endeavor because of what we know about learning and human development, not because the Jesuits say it is important.
— Anthony McGinn, S.J., special assistant to the Missouri-New Orleans Province of the Society of Jesus

Influenza activity in Northern Ireland has increased in recent weeks weeks. While this increase is expected at this time of year, it reinforces the need for people who are 'at risk' to get the vaccine as soon as possible, and this is particularly important for pregnant women.
Women can find they are bombarded with advice during their pregnancy and face making tough choices about what is best for them and their baby. However, one Northern Ireland mum-to-be said her decision to get the flu vaccine this year required no debating at all.
"This is my third pregnancy and I have had the flu vaccine the last two times, so I was in no doubt that I had to get vaccinated against the flu again this time as I fall into an at risk group, despite being otherwise in excellent health," explained Rebecca McGerrigan from Banbridge.
"I contacted my GP surgery after seeing the advice from the Public Health Agency as I knew that it would take 10–14 days for the vaccination to protect me and the baby and I didn't want to take any chances during flu season."
All pregnant women are being advised by the Public Health Agency (PHA) to get the flu vaccine, no matter what stage of their pregnancy, as they are more likely to develop serious complications as a result of flu compared with women who are not pregnant.
Pregnant women who get flu are more likely to have a premature birth or even a stillbirth. Their babies are also more at risk after being born. The flu vaccine protects against these risks and protects the baby against flu for the first few months of life.
These were the stark facts that grabbed Rebecca's attention: "Now I've had the flu vaccine I can go into the flu season confident that I've done everything in my power to protect me and my baby. If I hadn't had my vaccine I would really be concerned at this stage in the winter season. At least now I have one less thing to worry about.
"And it's great news that by having the flu vaccine I have also helped lower the chances of my baby being admitted to hospital with flu for up to six months after he or she is born as I will be passing on the antibodies to my unborn child."
Initial concerns about having a vaccine during her pregnancy were quickly eliminated after Rebecca spoke to her midwife Anne Kee.
Anne, a Caseload Midwife at the Royal Jubilee Maternity Hospital said: "A lot of the mums-to-be are unsure about getting the flu vaccine, as ordinarily throughout their pregnancy they are told not to take any medication other than paracetemol and not to eat certain foods. I have also heard concerns from mums about getting the flu from the vaccine, as mums-to-be don't want to risk harming their baby.
"But as midwives we advise them that they are at higher risk of developing complications if they catch the flu when pregnant. We refer to the advice contained in the PHA leaflet and once they understand the benefits of the flu vaccine and that it is safe for mum and baby, they are happy to get the vaccine."
Dr Richard Smithson, Consultant in Health Protection, PHA, said: "While flu is a mild illness for most people, it can be very serious for those in 'at risk' groups. Experience in the UK and other countries suggests that pregnant women are more likely to develop serious complications as a result of flu compared with women who are not pregnant.
"These complications include pneumonia and lung problems and pregnant women are many times more likely to become so ill they need to be admitted to hospital. Babies born to mothers vaccinated during pregnancy are 45–48% less likely to be hospitalised with flu in the six months after birth.
"It is best to be vaccinated as soon as possible so you and your baby are protected. If you become pregnant later in the winter you should get the vaccine as soon as you know you are pregnant. I would advise any pregnant woman who is feeling anxious about getting the flu vaccine to talk to their midwife or GP for advice
"We have had a very good response from pregnant women already, with nearly 60% having already had the vaccine, which is very encouraging. However, I would urge those women who have not yet had the vaccine and those who have just found out they are pregnant to arrange to get it as soon as possible by contacting their GP's surgery."
Rebecca added: "I am looking forward to the arrival of my baby in early February and now that I have had the flu vaccine I don't need to worry about catching the flu.
"I would encourage other pregnant women to get the flu vaccine, if they have not already done so, as it only takes a minute, it is painless and most importantly it will give you peace of mind during your pregnancy."
