With Decimation Master you will be able to easily reduce the polygon count of your models in a very efficient way while keeping all their sculpted details. This solution is one of the fastest available and is able to optimize your high polycount models from ZBrush, allowing you to export them to your other 3D software packages.
Sculpt your model with ZBrush, add all your small details and push your artistic skills, then optimize your ZTool. Export it to your favorite 3D package which will now be able to open your sculpting to create specific textures like Normal Maps or Ambient Occlusion maps by baking the high resolution mesh information on a low resolution mesh.
Another use is to export your model for a Rapid Prototyping process (3D printing) and bring your virtual art to a real object but also displaying your model in a real-time viewer such as PDF 3D. The possibilities are infinite!
Main features
- High quality optimization with accuracy details.
- Two different optimizations for a better control of the result.
- Optimization based on the polypainting information
- Support of Masks for details protection.
- Border protections.
- Support of the symmetry and partial symmetry.
- Optimization of your UVs for exporting models for 3D Color printing
- Export all SubTool as one OBJ file
- Clone all SubTools

***8220;I've really enjoyed working with the Pixologic team during the development of Decimation Master. The results are very clean, and the plug-in makes the process of getting models from ZBrush back into 3ds Max as painless as possible. I love the ability to process all SubTools at once, and then dump them all out into a single .obj file. Decimation Master is now an integral part our pipeline because it saves a lot of time, and allows us to process an insane amount of detail at a fraction of the original poly count.***8221;
Shane Caudle, Technical Art Director, Epic Games
"I have been decimating everything today and taking it all into Mental Ray for renders, HOLY CRAP!!!
What a time saver!!! The masking rocks as well! I will most likely be using it this week for some 3D prints. I have only scratched the surface but this is going to be one of my favorites!!!"
Scott Patton - Lead Character Designer, Legacy Effects
"The Decimation Master plugin for ZBrush not only helped speed up production time, its results were of a consistently higher final output quality. The ability to mask areas and preserve resolution after decimation is nothing short of incredible!"
Brandon Fayette - Lead Artist, Bad Robot Productions
"If ZBrush is a rock factory, Decimation Master is the catapult: 2.000.000 points down to 100.000 without noticeable difference***8230; You really have to press the wireframe button to believe it!"
"It was definitively the missing plugin in our previous production pipeline for Tom Clancy***8217;s Ghost Recon Advance Warfighter; using Decimation Master now greatly improves quality and efficiency for our next games."
Vincent Delassus - Art Technical Director, Ubisoft Paris
"This works beautifully - the on-the-fly ability to adjust quality level works great and the resulting fidelity preservation is unbelievable! The Decimation Master is better than any reduction tool we've seen available with regard to details and speed; it grants the ability to efficiently work with any level of mesh density with precise control over quality."
Matt Vogt - Artist, Offload Studios Inc.
"This plugin is essential for rendering or printing in 3D. With this tool you can easily achieve the 250 MB file size requirement of 3D printers. Decimation Master makes it possible to freely work on your models with over 15 or even 20 million polygons for high resolution detailing, than transform the model to a medium or low resolution while retaining the same best-resolution details! In other words, you can convert 20 million polygons to 2 million. Decimation Master is an amazing tool!"
Alonso Varela - Green Apple Workshop.
"The Decimator is allowing us to work much more efficiently with ZBrush tools that have insanely high poly counts! The detail that we are able to maintain in the 3D printing process will yield some of the most amazing tactual 3d sculpts ever seen!"
Bill Henderson - Creative Director - Offload Studios Inc.

Ever Imagined a World Without Internet? [INFOGRAPHIC]
Steve Carrell may be seeking a friend for the end of the world, but here at Mashable, we're more concerned with the end of the Internet.
Can you imagine it? Instead of an iPad, you'd be clutching a weighty $1,200 Encyclopedia Brittanica as you rock yourself to sleep. And instead of tweeting with pals halfway around the world, we'd be licking stamps that would total $6.3 trillion in the United States alone. We're cringing at the thought.
Online Education created this graphic detailing the nightmare that would be the world without Internet. Sure, we're grateful to the World Wide Web for giving us all the joy of narcoleptic cats and the controversy of @Sweden. But evidently, what we really have to be thankful for is how many jobs the Internet has created. Facebook alone has created 450,000 jobs, and the Internet establishes 2.6 jobs for every job it renders obsolete. And we all know that cat videos are that much more enjoyable to watch when you're supposed to be working.
What would be your biggest nightmare in a world without Internet? Let us know in the comments.

Hebrew singular and plural for hybrid supernatural creatures associated with the presence of God, and in postbiblical tradition identified as one of the choirs of angels. Among the nearly one hundred occurrences of the word in the Bible, the usual image is that of a huge eagle‐winged, human‐faced bull‐lion, iconographic features familiar in Assyrian and Canaanite sources. Four interrelated roles for the cherubim can be identified.
Guardians of Paradise.
As guardians of the entrance to Eden (Gen 3.24; Ezek. 28.14–16) they are the functional counterparts of the colossal, human‐faced winged bulls used in Mesopotamian architecture to guard the entrance to temples and palaces.
Protective Bearers of God's Throne.
In descriptions of the ark, a three‐dimensional cherub stands at either side with wings protectively outstretched over its cover (e.g., Exod. 25.18–20). Before the Temple was built, when the ark was still a portable shrine and housed in the tent of meeting (See Tabernacle), the Lord spoke to Moses "from between the two cherubim" (Exod. 25.22; Num. 7.89), where he was understood to sit invisibly enthroned (1 Sam 4.4; 2 Sam 6.2; Isa. 37.16; Pss. 80.1; 99.1). Portable shrines similar to Israel's ark are known from Egypt, Mesopotamia, Canaan, and Arabia, and some also feature cherubim as a decorative motif. In Solomon's Temple the ark became a permanent fixture (1 Kings 8.4–8), and the size of the cherubim increased dramatically (1 Kings 6.23–28). Notable Canaanite parallels are the Megiddo ivory reliefs (ca. 1200 BCE) and the Ahiram sarcophagus from Phoenicia (ca. 1000), both of which depict winged cherubim supporting the throne of the local king.
Decorative Elements.
The walls and doors of the Temple were carved with cherubim and palm trees (1 Kings 6.29–35). In many ways the art and symbolism of the Temple replicated the garden of Eden, where the cherubim guarded the tree of life, widely depicted as the date palm.
Means of Yahweh's Mobility.
In the theophanic visions of Ezekiel 1 and 10, the cherubim become the power by which God's chariot‐throne is able to fly. In 2 Samuel 22.11 (= Ps. 18.10) the Lord is said to ride on a cherub, equated in poetic parallelism with flying on the wings of the wind.
The etymology of the Hebrew word kĕrûb is uncertain, but some connection with Akkadian kāribu, the intercessor guardian creature, seems probable. The cherubim of the Bible have no relationship with the winged infants or putti often featured in Renaissance art.

What do you do if a dominant breaks a promise? Do you accept an apology, forget about it and go on? Watch to see if it becomes a consistent pattern? Does it matter to you whether the promise was made to you or to someone else? The circumstances and details? Does it matter if it's a sin of commission or omission?
What I do depends upon exactly what was promised, how and why the promise was not made good on, and indeed, whether or not there is a pattern present.
Does he just tend to forget to pick up the milk on the way home from work when he's said he would? Did he promise to take me out to dinner and forget his wallet so I ended up having to pay one time? Or are we talking about repeated violations of limits and boundaries? Is it a similar broken promise to one that you know he's done with others before? Involving you nonconsensually in a promise he breaks to someone else, or just breaking a promise to someone else at all? Decides to take the scene somewhere other than flogging, even if he's promised you that (assuming your agreements allow that)?
*Very* different responses would be warranted to each of these sorts of broken promises.
The stage of the relationship matters to some of these decisions for me, but not to others.
Some broken promises, lies, or other transgressions don't get a second chance – or at least never will again from me. Either they are too damaging in and of themselves, or they are far too likely to be harbingers of things to come.
Watch what he's done with his exes, too, particularly the ones he spent the longest periods of time with, because that will become what he does with you eventually. Even if it's not the exact same broken agreements, the fact that he broke important ones with them should be a major red flag that he'll eventually break something major with you as well.

Pavia names Bobby Valentine Stamford's public safety director
Pavia names Bobby Valentine Stamford's public safety director
STAMFORD -- Mayor Michael Pavia announced Thursday morning he has appointed former New York Mets manager Bobby Valentine to his cabinet as the city's director of public health and safety.
Valentine, a lifelong Stamford resident, will begin in his new role immediately and will earn $10,000 annually, a salary he said he plans to give back to the community.
"I'm going to give this my best effort," Valentine said during a press conference with Pavia at the Stamford Government Center Thursday. "The thought of trying to do good in a very public way is a very exciting challenge in my life."
Pavia cited Valentine's management and leadership skills as a local business owner and international baseball manager as the rational behind selecting him to head the public safety department. He also pointed to Valentine's work over the past six months as chairman of the mayor's fire department task force as an indication that the job was a good fit.
"He knows the operation of fire service as well as anybody in Stamford," Pavia said. "What that shows me is his commitment to what has to be done."
Valentine said Thursday his main function will be to improve communication between the mayor and the city's police, fire, emergency medical services and health departments.
"I'm going to be learning on a daily basis all of the things that my job will entail," Valentine said. "(The departments) run ... extremely well in the city and the mayor and I think that I'm going to try to help coordinate the flow of information both ways, from him to them, and from the different services to the mayor's office."
Valentine said his full-time job as a Sunday night baseball analyst for ESPN would not interfere with his ability to serve as Stamford's health and public safety director. He said his work for ESPN will mainly consume night and weekend hours, leaving the days free to oversee Stamford's health and safety departments.
"I get up early, I go to bed late," he said. "There's plenty of hours in the day that I get to do the things that I need to do. I'll be very accessible to anyone who needs me here in the city."
Valentine said he would trust the city's department directors to handle any public safety emergency that might occur while he is out of town.
"It will be handled the same way it will be handled as if it was handled yesterday," he said. "I think the plan is for me to be here and when I'm not here to have a plan so that it's covered."
Board of Representatives President Randy Skigen expressed concern that Valentine's commitments to baseball might prevent him from giving enough attention to his city job.
"The areas that fall to the director of public health and safety are large budget drivers," Skigen said Thursday afternoon. "I think that whoever's in the position needs to devote their full time to getting those items under control and my concern is that with his job at ESPN, how much time he's actually going to be able to devote to this position."
Sgt. Joe Kennedy, president of the Stamford police union, said he was skeptical that Valentine could really contribute to the city's public safety departments.
"When do we get to meet Derek Jeter?" Kennedy said Thursday afternoon. "Honestly, I guess this is going to be a ceremonial position. I know he's a nice guy, I have no idea what his professional background is going to bring to this position."
When asked about Valentine's qualifications Thursday morning, Pavia responded that a background in public safety is not necessary in order to serve as the department's director.
"Bill Callion, the former director of public safety and welfare, did a great job," Pavia said. "Did he have the public safety experience? No. He was a good leader, he was a good manager. Those are the qualities that I've learned are extremely important to a public service career."
Assistant Fire Chief Peter Brown of Stamford Fire & Rescue said Valentine stood out as chair of the mayor's fire service task force for the hours of hard work he put in, whether it was holding court at weekly meetings or surveying nearby fire services on how they conduct operations.
"He did a lot of work on that task force that people don't realize," Brown said. "He spent numerous hours doing that and I thought that was a great thing.
"He doesn't just talk. He does."
Board of Representatives Public Health and Safety committee co-chair Scott Mirkin, R-13, said he was pleasantly surprised by the mayor's appointment.
"It's a choice I never thought of but I couldn't be happier that the mayor has asked and that Bobby Valentine has accepted," Mirkin said Thursday afternoon. "He's obviously bright, he's articulate, he's professional."
Police Chief Robert Nivakoff said he is happy Valentine, whom he has known for 30 years, will be heading the public health and safety department.
"He has a passion for the city of Stamford and compassion and caring for its people," Nivakoff said. "I feel he will support the police department and its endeavors and promulgate our new programs, which are cutting-edge."
On Thursday morning, Valentine walked through the tenth floor of the Government Center. He popped his head into a modestly sized office, which he was told would soon be his. Valentine may assume his duties immediately, according to the city Charter. The Board of Representatives must approve the appointment, however, and will most likely vote on the issue at its regular board meeting in March, Skigen said.
The public safety director job is a cabinet-level position that typically pays between $118,000 and $138,000. Pavia eliminated funding for the job and appointed himself to the vacant position shortly after taking office a year ago as a cost-saving measure. The move saved the city $122,000 and two city jobs, Pavia said.
Valentine said he plans to donate his $10,000 annual salary to community services in Stamford. He cited the Mickey Lione Jr. fund and Stamford's Citizen of the Year scholarship as entities he would be interested in supporting.
"This is a non-salary position," Valentine said. "To receive is wonderful, to give is divine, I guess."

It's kind of a weird situation with the Twins right now.dhabums wrote:It was the most exciting series because of the context, not the actual hockey.Tiger wrote:Bobbie Clarke said after the summit seriesIts all about winning .. and this was the most exciting hockey series ever played.. I don't expect the Sedin's to do a Bobby Clarke but it would be great if they played a tougher game..When asked about the slash years later, Clarke said, "If I hadn't learned to lay on a two-hander once in a while, I'd never have left Flin Flon
I'm not sure what a "tougher" game would entail. We should have some guys willing to play it a bit tougher, but to put that on your 2 best players isn't all that bright.
The league seems to think that if you cheap shot them after the whistle they will play poorly. The Twins on the other hand claim that it doesn't bother them and they are glad to take the penalties.
Unfortunately the rest of the team doesn't seem to be on board with allowing the Twins to take the shots.
So what you have is people cheap shotting the twins, them backing off in the hope of getting a call, then a canuck coming to their defense and taking a retaliation penalty.
Everyone seems to be quite confused as to what the game plan is supposed to be.
I'm not sure what the answer is but I tend to think trading Hodgson and Raymond, is a big over reaction to the issue.
We aren't losing games because of this, but it cant be good for team morale to have sand kicked in your face on a consistent basis.

"O Give Thanks Unto The Lord (3)"
SIH's Think On These Things: Psa 106:1-2
Ps 106:1-2 (KJV) … Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? who can shew forth all his praise?
In our last devotional of this series, we will end with these two questions….
"Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD?"
"who can shew forth all his praise?"
Over the past month, as we have thought on a few of the multitude of ways that our Lord deserves our thanks…it all boils down to this one issue. After all is said and done, we cannot begin to really appreciate, nor thank, our Lord as we should. This theme is repeated again and again by the Psalmist in a variety of contexts…
Ps 40:5 (KJV) Many, O LORD my God, [are] thy wonderful works [which] thou hast done, and thy thoughts [which are] to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: [if] I would declare and speak [of them], they are more than can be numbered.
Ps 71:15 (KJV) My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness [and] thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers [thereof].
Ps 139:17-18 (KJV) How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! [If] I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
King David understood the dilemma that we face…. we serve a Lord that is so kind, loving, gracious and merciful that He is CONSTANTLY blessing us. Every breath we take, every flower that we may see, every second we are not in the Lake of Fire, is a miraculous blessing from our Lord…. How can we begin to recognize all of them and then give Him the appropriate praise? All we can do is fall upon our knees and ask the Lord forgiveness for failing miserably to recognize His continuous displays of tender love He has shown towards us.
Let us all come before our God and thank Him for the forgiveness that He grants to us as we fail to appreciate all His gracious workings.
May the Lord bless us as we "Think On These Things".

Branch Axe Paper Scissors LIMITED EDITION GICLEE PRINT Print by Emily McPhie is signed by the artist and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
Emily Christensen McPhie was born in Utah in 1978 into the highly-artistic Christensen family. As a child, she toured the museums of the United States and Europe with her family. At each museum, Emily and her brothers and sisters were told they could choose a postcard as a souvenir, and young Emily's postcard collection quickly filled with early American portraits and Degas' studies of young dancers. The influence of these museum trips is apparent in Emily's portfolio of paintings. Growing up, the pursuit of art was second-nature for McPhie, who went on to win awards for art in high school and beyond. Emily graduated from Brigham Young University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, with an emphasis in painting. Emily currently resides in Chandler, Arizona with her husband Gavin and daughters Cordelia Lavender, Clover Iona and Ezra Petunia. "Motherhood has brought out some pretty strong emotions and ideas," says McPhie. "Translating those thoughts and emotions into images gives me clarity, and I find I want to document them before my perception changes." Her daughters show every sign of following in their mother's footsteps. "Half my studio is theirs," she laughs. "They have their table and their easel and all their supplies. I find that they're in here even when I'm not. They just love it - they're very creative."

Its official: IBM has dominated the U.S. patent race for two decades.
IBM earned 6,478 utility patents last year, topping the list of patent winners for the 20th year in a row, according to data from IFI CLAIMS Patent Services. With its record haul, Big Blue bested its 2011 patent tally by 5%.
RELATED: Googles patent count spikes 170%, beats Apples 2012 tally
Samsung was the second most prolific patent winner, with 5,081 patents received in 2012, according to IFI, which tracks and analyzes patent data from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Canon placed third with 3,174 patents, followed by Sony (3,032), Panasonic (2,769), Microsoft (2,613), Toshiba (2,447), Hon Hai Precision Industry (2,013), GE (1,652), and LG Electronics (1,624).
Overall, the USPTO issued a record 253,155 utility patents in 2012, an increase of 13% compared to 2011. Seventeen U.S.-based firms made the top 50 list in 2012, the same number as in 2011. The number of Asian firms also held steady at 26, IFI reports.
Earning its first appearance among the top 50, Google increased its 2012 patent count by 170% to 1,151 patents and landed at 21 in IFIs rankings, up from 65 in 2011. With its 170% spike, Google made the largest gains, percentage-wise, in patent awards among the top 50 assignees.
Apple, which made its first appearance in IFIs top 50 in 2010, also made big gains. Apple earned 1,136 patents, an increase of 68% compared to its 2011 tally, and landed at 22 in the rankings, up from 39 a year earlier. Googles patent haul exceeded Apples by just 15 patents.
Other big gainers include: Alcatel-Lucent (636 patents, a gain of 59%); Hong Fu Jin Precision (782 patents, a gain of 59%); Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (843 patents, a gain of 59%); Research in Motion (986 patents, a gain of 49%); and Taiwan Semiconductor (650 patents, a gain of 49%).
Ciscos patent count declined. The company earned 951 patents in 2012, down from 980 patents in 2011, and slid in the rankings, dropping to 31 from a rank of 22 in 2011. HP increased its patent count to 1,394 (up from 1,308 patents in 2011) but slid one slot in the rankings to 15.

After European Central Bank (ECB) President Mario Draghi said last week he would do "whatever it takes" to preserve the euro, he's upping the ante by pushing both central bankers and political leaders in the joint currency bloc to agree to take drastic action to cut borrowing costs for Spain and Italy before an ECB policy meeting on Aug. 2.
Bloomberg reported Monday that as the debt crisis continues, Draghi hopes to quell market jitters that have sent bond yields steadily higher for the two countries considered next in line for possible bailouts. If he fails to win over other leaders in the eurozone, a bond market selloff could result in the sundering of the euro.
At the heart of his efforts, according to two ECB officials with knowledge of the plan, is the purchase of government bonds on the primary market by the region's temporary bailout fund, the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF). That would be backed by the ECB stepping in on the secondary market to make additional purchases and ensure the preservation of its low interest rates.
In addition, further rate cuts by the ECB and more long-term loans to banks are being considered as part of the strategy.
Moody's Investors Service said in the report that while the ECB's willingness to act is necessary to buy time, it cannot solve the crisis by itself. And the central bank may have a tough time persuading Germany's Bundesbank to plunge in—just last week the central bank reiterated its opposition to bond buying, saying that such an action crosses boundaries that separate monetary policy from fiscal policy.
Another possible obstacle to a crisis solution is Germany's reluctance to cede authority over its banks to a central body that would have control over a banking union—a plan previously discussed as a way out of the eurozone crisis.
Although Germany has insisted that other countries must surrender sovereignty over their banks and budgets in order to receive bailout money from common funds or to set up joint euro bonds, it has resisted doing so itself. In fact, during stress tests on financial firms last year by the European Banking Authority (EBA), Germany's regulator allowed one of the country's lenders to keep back results of the test and registered an objection to the definition of capital.
"Germany didn't let the EBA dictate any terms to its troubled banks; why would it now hand over controls to a new regulator?" said Nicholas Spiro in the report. Spiro, managing director of Spiro Sovereign Strategy, a London consulting firm specializing in sovereign credit risk, added, "The prospects of a new central authority are shaky at best." While Draghi "put his personal credibility on the line" and "would not have done so without being confident about his key constituency," according to Erik Nielsen, global chief economist at UniCredit Bank in London, he also said in the report, "the ECB under Draghi does not like to mess around in the market, but if it sees a need, it will come with overwhelming force."
Whether that force will be enough to overrule Germany remains to be seen, although others in the eurozone seem to be coming to accept the need for a drastic step of some kind.
Jean-Claude Juncker, who heads the group of eurozone finance ministers, was quoted saying in a weekend interview, "We have reached a decisive point. The world is talking about whether there will still be a eurozone in the next few months. We have to make abundantly clear with all available resources that we're completely determined to guarantee the financial stability of the currency." He added, "We have no time to lose."
However, Moody's said in Monday's Credit Outlook, "These conflicting remarks [from the Bundesbank and from other eurozone finance ministers] illustrate the diverging views that have dogged the euro area authorities' policy development and significantly contributed to the depth of the crisis."
Clemens Fuest, an Oxford University economist who sits on an advisory panel for the German finance ministry, said in the report, "I'm skeptical that Weidmann would be easily convinced. I would certainly think that Draghi will try to reach some consensus here rather than go against Weidmann."
Influence in the eurozone has shifted, however, since the election of President Francois Hollande of France, who has not been afraid to challenge Germany's influence on policy in the bloc. In addition, Draghi has worked with Juncker, European Commission (EC) President Jose Manuel Barroso and EU President Herman Van Rompuy to map out a survival plan for the eurozone.

ADHD is the most commonly diagnosed neuro behavioral disorder in children today with 1 in 10 kids being diagnosed. This prevalence has sky rocketed over the past generation. Following diagnosis, children are commonly given a prescription for Ritalin. This medication is a schedule II controlled substance that has effects similar to both amphetamines and cocaine. As more parents are learning about the effects of medication on their children, they are looking to alternative treatments for ADHD. Pediatric chiropractic care can be an effective, natural, and very safe option for parents.

|News and Articles - Upcoming Events - QN4U BBQ HOUSE - Clovis
By Brent Walton
I see this commercial on television that features three or four guys sitting in a highly advertised restaurant dressed in plaid you know, brawny, manly-looking clothing, no close shaves with beers sitting on the table, just all the trappings for what looks like "real guys." Then, one orders food because it's less than 500 calories, like that would be normal. To me that would be like, "Hey Bob do I look fat in these jeans?" The other "guys" start to tease him but are won over by Bob's food when it arrives, "Wow, that's less than 500 calories? I think I'll change my order and get me some of that." I have throw up in my mouth at this point. Was I born in the wrong century? Have I lived too long or something?
Manfood is really pretty simple and consists of not that many things. So I thought I would try to lay out some of the guidelines to sort out what is Manfood and what is not.
The following is a list of Manfood for clarification:
Breakfast: Manfood. No croissants or "F" (French) toast.
Lamb: Manfood except with mint jelly.
Chips and all fried snack foods: Manfood.
Tofu: Not Manfood (any imitation meat also).
Noveau or almandine: No way.
French named foods: Absolutely not.
Mexican food: Manfood.
Asian food: Not Manfood.
Fusion: Forget it!
Soul food: Manfood.
Organic anything: Hell no!
Low calorie foods: NO NO NO.
Real pizza= Manfood: bastardized versions: Not Manfood.
Deli meats: Manfood. Gotta love that headcheese.
Turkey hot dogs: Not Manfood-bait!
Gravy: Manfood heaven.
I think you know this, as real men know by instinct. Girly dudes will soon be exposed.
We are slowly falling prey to this eat healthier food that is not natural for us man- types. I think this is a dangerous trend. Guys are changing and I'm not seeing the good in it. Is your wife or girlfriend any happier? I thought so. No matter how much they try to civilize us it will never be enough. I personally like the fact we are behind the civilization 8-ball. I think men and women are different for a reason. A woman's goal is to civilize us and our goal is to go kickin' and screamin' like real men. So I say stay within the Manfood guidelines and remember to wipe your face with your sleeve…that always gets 'em!

Ivan Menjivar has fought enough that he knows how to appreciate a home bout.
And that's just what the bantamweight plans on doing this week for his fight at UFC 154. Menjivar (24-9 MMA, 3-2 UFC) meets UFC newcomer Azamat Gashimov (7-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC), and he gets to do it close to his Tristar Gym training home.
UFC 154 takes place at Bell Centre in Montreal and features a main event between Menjivar's Tristar teammate and welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre and interim champ Carlos Condit. The main card airs on pay-per-view with prelims on FX and Facebook.
"It's fun because I don't have to do any traveling for fight day," Menjivar recently told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio). "It's close to the gym, close to my family, easier on my diet. After the fight, you can see people you know – your friends. And you spend less money on phone calls to the house. I like it."
Menjivar also said that as one of the night's first bouts, part of the Facebook-streamed prelims, he'll get to experience the thrill of a home game, so to speak, and also get to experience what the rest of the fans experience, he hopes, when he's done.
"I'm one of the first fights of the night, so I get to see the people coming into the place, and I just want to enjoy that moment," he said. "Anything can happen. But right now, I just want to feel the energy of the show and enjoy the fights after my fight. It's special."
Just 22 years old, his opponent finds himself on a big-time UFC pay-per-view just eight fights into his career. When Menjivar was 22, he was making his UFC debut, as well – as a lightweight against future welterweight champion Matt Serra.
Menjivar said because he's been there, he knows just what Gashimov is going through.
"It's a dream come true to be that young and be in the UFC," Menjivar said. "It's amazing. It's a great opportunity (for him). I was feeling so happy to be there (for my debut).
"When they start the music, we're in such a little bubble. We feel the energy, but we just want to get to the cage and get into the fight. For the three rounds, you are the center of the world. People look at you, they're there to watch a good fight. But you're the center of the world for that moment, and that's amazing. After the fight, win or lose, even if you're tired or injured, you feel grateful – I did something good. It's an adrenaline rush, it's happiness."
But it's not such a great opportunity for Gashimov that Menjivar wouldn't be happy to spoil it for him. After a three-fight win streak that included a "Submission of the Night" bonus in February, Menjivar dropped a unanimous decision to Mike Easton in July at UFC 148.
Getting back in the win column is of the utmost importance for him.
"I don't want to make this fight like my last one," he said. "So don't be scared, don't make errors and fight for real. That's what I want."

"Walking Towards America" Features Work of Three Remarkable Women
Ilga Vise is a longtime Springfield resident and community volunteer with a riveting refugee story. As a child, she and her family fled their homeland of Latvia during World War II.
Her story, at times harrowing, at times humorous, was captured years ago for the Ethnic Life Stories Project. Ilga's story and others are collected in a volume that's available in local schools and libraries, and in the Library's digital collection at thelibrary.org/lochist/els/menu.cfm.
On July 14 and 15, you can see Ilga's story performed on stage at the Library Center. It's a special engagement to benefit the Library Foundation.
Ilga's story comes to life through a one-woman script, "Walking Toward America," written by Sandy Asher, former Springfield resident and a popular author of children's and young-adult books and plays. Sandy wrote the script based on Ilga's Ethnic Life Story and her memoirs.
Former Springfieldian Annie Meek Montgomery, a New York actress with family ties here, portrays the young Ilga during her courageous journey "walking toward America." Ilga and Sandy will be at both performances, as well.
Sandy had gripping material to work with. In one passage of Ilga's memoir dated December 1944, "…The soldiers ordered us to walk to the hangar. We passed a barracks, which was cornered off by more barbwire. Arms reached through the wire, women in raggedy clothes, hollow eyed and skeleton thin, begged to us for food. On their tattered coats was sewn the yellow Star of David. It was a horrific moment. If anyone wondered what the future held, it was in front of us, written on the faces of those women. We were all captives, imprisoned under the rule of men with guns.…"
As a testament to Sandy's script, "Walking Toward America" was chosen for development at New York University's New Plays for Young Audiences workshop at the Provincetown Playhouse in 2011, a Friday Night Footlights reading at the Dramatists Guild in May 2012 and a world premiere full production at The Open Eye Theater on Memorial Day weekend 2012.
The performances are at 7 p.m. July 14 and 2 p.m. July 15 in the Library Center auditorium. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students in grades 5-12. Proceeds will benefit the Library Foundation. For more information, call Foundation Director Valerie Richardson at 616-0586.
Underwriters for "Walking Toward America" include Empire Bank, Kwen and Cheryl Griffeth, and David and Sandy Harrison.

LA County Fair
Hopefully you've all heard by now that it's Dodger Day at the LA County Fair, and several Dodger greats will be signing autographs over the next five hours or so. If you print out a coupon from www.lacountyfair.com and wear Dodger blue, you get half off the admission and half of what you do pay will go to ThinkCure. Not a bad way to spend an off day or night.
Meanwhile, in looking through yesterday's comments I could tell there was some anger over various players being rested. I love the lively debate and am glad that you don't always agree with what Joe Torre does, but I can assure that no one here is trying to lose games. Reaching the playoffs and earning home field advantage is of the utmost importance and we're trying to win every single game from here on out (and as it turned out, even while resting several regulars yesterday, we still won the game and swept the Pirates).
Anyway, it just seemed a little strange to have people so angry about guys getting rest. There's no perfect recipe for success in the final weeks of the season, but my faith is in the guy with four World Series rings and more wins than all but four other managers in baseball history! He's got our team leading the NL in victories, which must mean something, right?
No Comments
It sure looks that way, doesn't it!!!!
Damn, I think we've been scolded…
JPG, whatever gives you that impression? Better you get mad at Josh than at me since I said pretty much the same thing at the end of the previous thread. You know I would never scold you.
I'm sorry for complaining so much about the lineup but, I would be very disappointed if I spent my money, drove all the way to LA to see my boys play and 5 of the regulars were out of the lineup!
I don't live in the LA area and have to plan when I can attend games.
Doesn't change my mind that Joe is an IDIOT!
JOSH – I may have something for a Think Cure auction I'd like to maybe donate sometime. Its baseball related, but no one I know can afford it, and its not doing me any good sitting in a closet. I'd be better salvaging some of my investment in it as a charitable contribution writeoff (heck, Frank may even want it for his office.)
If you're interested, let me know where to send some information to you.
No worries Birk – I'm Josh's worst nightmare!!
Don't mince words Bear, say what you feel!!! (You know I'm with you there 🙂
Trublue4ever, no need to apologize. I think you have a right to be disappointed when the players you want to see are not playing, especially when attending a game in person is a once in a while opportunity.
Nice JPD……Very Nice indeed 🙂
Thanks, lbirken 🙂
Thanks god I could see the lineup first before I attended a game.
Their is a player by the name of Fred Dunlap and not only he was a player he was also a manager. He had a record of 66-16 in 1884 when he was only 25 years old with the St. Louis Maroons and also were leading the league in over 10+ offensive categories as a player. He was 2nd in saves with only 1 and was 2nd in singles with 125.
Wow, we've been spanked! Josh, I never commented on the line-up (I was working)…but if I had, I would have been a bit peeved, too, not because I felt Torre was trying to lose, but because he insists on resting mass human beings all in the SAME game. How intelligent is that? Yeah, the Dodgers won….so hindsight is 20-20 and the argument looks water tight. But come on, they got a grand total of 3 runs on 2 jacks. If Kuroda isn't lights out, we're having a VERY different conversation today.
Well he did get help from another manager that had a record of 28-3 in Sullivan and was 8 years older than Dunlap. I wonder who called all the shots when Dunlap played 2nd bases. Gosh freaking dead ball era. I wonder why these players never had a lot of homerun there and not like the stadium back than was much bigger than the current stadium now.
It probably could've been a lot worst if Manny, Blake and Furcal didn't signed with us than you might have a bigger problem. I still think Dewitt could handle the job at 3rd or even 2nd but who would had played SS and the other IF position? If you signed the Odog to played 2nd base you moved Dewitt to 3rd bases leaving the SS spot wide open but to bad Hu can't seem to hit major league stuff. Castro been so good for us but come on he's not much of a hitter and I'd rather give his spot to Luna. Loretta had a good year last year but they seem to always suck when they played here in LA. I think this is why he's struggling now because he used to be an everyday player and making the transition to an everyday player to getting 1 ab's a game is tough. Loretta is a better defender at 2nd baseman than any other infield position and a waste having him on the bench is just wrong. I love the guy when he was a Padres/Red Sox/Astros but didn't know him much when he was a Brewers and it was just wrong the Astros couldn't find a way to get him in the lineup last year.
Ausmus C
Loney 1st
Odog 2nd/Loretta
Luna/maybe Hu SS not Castro
Dewitt/Belliard 3rd
? LF Anyone else over Pierre and bring back Jones/Paul/Hoffman or just 2 of them.
Kemp CF
Ethier RF
I still think this lineup would probably produce more than yesterday or this one. Ausmus/Loney/Loretta/Dewitt/Belliard/Blake heck put him in LF with all that experience/Kemp/Ethier
To bad you could've had the 2004 Thome maybe he could had played 3rd base but he hasn't played that position since 1996.
Good evening ITDers!
No, I did not go to the L.A. County fair. I got to save my vacation days for early games for the playoffs and maybe a final road trip to SD for one game there.
Josh** Don't forget what I asked you if you find out let me know please!
If you can and want, you can check my latest blog entry titled "Mr. Miracle, Andre Ethier: The King of Walk-Offs!"
I can't wait for the series with the Giants! Auction day tomorrow too! Jpd reminded me that I bought a wool jersey off the auction last year but I did not try it on and is huge and also I am alergic to wool. I don't know what I was thinking when I bidded. I did not even see how big it was.
When are we getting the playoff tickets!?
Blake had 1 game at SS (sorry Furcal)
Thome (believe it or not he has 93 career homeruns as a 3rd baseman and started 471 games out of 492 games there.
That would be one scary lineup. I'm going to try that on mlb the show instead of Martin I'm going to put Mauer or Martinez there.
Who cares about Loney hitting 30+ homerun and driving in 100+ rbi's at the same time without those numbers by Loney that's just too much power in the lineup.
I mentioned it last night and I will mention it again. There are not too many teams who can sit 2,3,4 or even 5 starters and still win games. That is something I am sure many teams envy. However, that being said………………..I remember August 1,2 and 3 of last year. I spent good money on tickets a month in advance, not knowing, at the time, Manny would be wearing Dodger blue. I sat the entire weekend and did not see a certain outfielder, #16 if you must know, play the entire weekend with the exception on that Sunday for an inning or two at the end of the game of the last game of the series against the dbacks. I realize our issues were different back then…………Andruw Jones and JP, but it still sucked not to see him play. I am just of the mind set if I had paid money to see that game on Wednesday, I would have been highly disappointed. So, the lesson I have learned between August 2008 and this season. If you are going to buy single game tickets, make sure you don't buy them for a Sunday or a Wednesday day game because you probably not see the starting 8 you hoped for.
lol but the defense might be a problem there.
red pen – I screwed up that last sentence badly – sorry 😦
In Detroit, they are calling Andre a Walk-off Wizard.
Also, I talked to our gnat fan head custodian this morning about our respective teams. I don't see him as much as I used to since I moved rooms. I have Adolf now, and he is a Dodger fan. Anyhow, in his circle of gnat fan friends (and he has alot of them), he says they all worry about Andre the most when he is up to bat against them. Also, they were very happy when Andre wasn't in the line up against Sanchez.
One day earlier, it was Kemp who hugged Andre Ethier at the plate after Ethier won that game with a home run. Wednesday was Kemp's turn.
"It showing that we're growing and learning how to play the game," Kemp said of the clutch home runs. "Sometimes in those pressure situations earlier on in my career, I was a little too intense to try to make things happen. Now I'm letting the game come to me."
Good Morning ITD
JOSH, yes our boys do need to rest, but just for one inning…LOL…No we all want to win and I sometimes do get carried away with my comments. GO DODGERS!
Dodgers are starting the GIANTS series at home. For those attending the games…HAVE FUN! I will be watching from home with some family. And 2(two) of the members are GIANTS FANS (booooo). It will be fun.
NELLY – ANDRE the Walk-off Wizard…LOVE IT! Giants are scared of ANDRE the GREAT! Well I guess ETHIER will be doing alot of walking. I just hope they put KEMP to bat right after ETHIER!
OH YEAH BUCS were BEATen By L.A.
CPO – I am glad your mom is doing great and she is attending the Dodgers game….And ETHIER's great success and walk-offs are sure good remedies to get better for an ETHIERAHOLIC! I have seen the lil' Phillies Fan throwing the ball and the Dad's reaction. LOVE IT! I guess Phillies do have great fans; the Dad and the Lil' girl.
BEATen by LA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BEATen by LA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just one more mention of the complaining about the lineups. I had said earlier and Nellyjune said it too, that when we go to a game, it is not an inexensive venture. We have to spend the night, pay for tickets, gas driving there and, I think we deserve to see the "A" team out there.
Also, like Nellyjune said, if we do go, it won't be on a Sunday or Wednesday. And, when the fans figure out that the regulars aren't playing on those days, except for season ticket holders, the attendance will drop off by a substantial amount.
trublu, that last sentence surely caught the eye of Frank!!!
I confess, I'm a lineup complainer…So, Joe is a genius because his crappy lineup squeaked by 3-1 over the AAA Pirates?
No rest for players under 30 if they're not hurt.
Listen up Josh, Joe & Ned: This is the Los Angeles Dodgers!! Most of us grew up watching Steve "162 games" Garvey before anyone ever heard of Cal Ripken. So don't lecture us on resting players.
I'm not a stats person but I wonder how many days off Puhols and Howard had this season?
Or, have Puhols and Holliday been off the same day?
It's not just a question of a day off, but Dodger fans have been put through the ringer. Ethier off today, Kemp off tomorrow, Manny off the next day, Loney and his .280 average and great defense benched for .220 hitting Loretta.
McCourt is all about marketing and sucking every last penny from Dodger fans any way he can as evidenced by all the shameless Manny promo's and ads.
Even if the Dodgers win the Series, is Joe Torre really a Dodger? Ned Colletti? Frank McCourt? Man, I don't know, something still doesn't feel right…especially with that Boston chowderhead McCourt in charge.
If its true that baseball is part of the entertainment industry, then the people spending their hard-earned dollars on the game should expect to get what they pay for. You could easily rest 1 regular every other game and not see much drop off in quality. You pay for tickets to La Boheme and you get one understudy you grumble a bit, but you aren't necessarily shortchanged because the rest of the cast were the regulars and the production didn't suffer. You go and find that more than half the cast are understudies and it was average at best, then you've got a right to complain.
Or what Scott said 🙂
Pujols has had 5 days off for the season from his duties at 1st base, but only once since 7/23.
Two of those five he was a DH.
Holliday has had one day off since acquired by the Cards. Interestingly, it was the same day that Pujols was rested. September 5th, on the road, against the Pirates. The Cards won, 2 – 1.
In comparison, Kemp has had 7 days of "rest" and Ethier 10.
Even more interesting, comparing LaRussa and Torre, let's review.
Since 7/23, I think we can all agree that both clubs were (or should have) been kicking into playoff gear. It was a week before the trading deadline. The Cards started it by getting Holliday.
Since 7/23, the Cards have rested Pujols and Holliday (both 29 years old) once each – both on 9/5 against the weak Pirates on the road.
Since 7/23, the Dodgers have rested Kemp (24) and Ethier (27) 3 times each – twice on the road (@ CIN and SF) and 4 times at home (against the Braves, Cards, Cubs and Padres).
The difference? LaRussa doesn't have a Pierre to placate. He always says he's resting these guys. He's not resting anyone, he just wants to play Pierre.
It's Torre's choice, he's (unfortunately) the manager. I just wish he would tell the truth about it.
Well laid out dodgereric. Thanks!
Everyone has great points about resting players. I do expect to see my fave players when I pay to see them.
We are #1 right now and of course; have won 5 more than the Cards. How does our top two players KEMP & ETHIER stats (for this season) compare against the Cards top two players PUJOLS & HOLLIDAY (over all with or without the CARDs)?
Are our players better players cause they are rested?
What is keeping us in the #1 spot?
How about against D. Jeter? How many times have he rested? Sorry I bring the Yankees in (I'm just thinking ahead….World Series).
Now when Torre was with the Yankees how many times did he rest his top players???
If it's worth resting our players to keep winning then I say rest them….if not then play them….
Good morning ITD boys and girls!
Okay, let's agree to disagree and give it (no pun intended) a rest. That's what I love about ITD. We all know that not each and every ITDer agrees on everything, but that's what makes this site such a great site! We all have our own opinions and thoughts, but we all love our Boys in Blue!!!
Thx msdodgersrule. Oh, and did I say that my mom is back home now! She went back home on Sunday night. My sister stayed with here that night, but she went back home. I've talked to my mom several times and she's been doing well. Okay msdodgersrule, now I know I'm going to embarrass myself (so what else is new?) I know I should know, but didn't you change your screen name? Isn't this Rose?
Hey guys, have you heard anything about a Star Wars night at the Stadium on 10/3? On the website it shows calendar night, but I have seen stuff on the net saying it's Star Wars night.
Tru makes a good point. When I mentioned last night about the expense, I wasn't even thinking hotel, gas, etc. I was just talking tickets.
rose – Walk-off Wizard is a pretty cool name.
jpd – perfect analogy
Great stuff Dodgereric!!!
Yes CPO it is me, Rosie (Rose). It is a mixture of both my previous screen names (Dodgersrule1655 & MsRussyEthier). Show my support for the entire team and not just Martin & Ethier. I'm glad your mom is back home. And yeah this blog is great and the difference in opinions makes it fun. I learned something new every day. The others bloggers help me understand a lot about the game and why this or that…but I still don't understand MR. TORRE…LOL FRANK is easier to understand ($$$$$$), but MR. TORRE (?????)
Sorry MIKE I have not heard anything regarding StarWars night…should be interesting and if you find out more….please share!
Thx Rose! I thought as much, but of course, dense me, I did not get it right away and, well I had to ask. But thx for clearing that up for me!
As far as trying to understand Joe, I've long since stopped trying to understand him. I mean, you know, there are MANY moves he makes that are, shall we say, head scratchers at best? For me, I just chalk it up to he understands baseball a lot better than I do. I may THINK I know better, but I don't. There may be small snippets of the game that I understand here and there, but I still have to believe that he knows a lot about baseball. I'm with Josh – my faith lies in Joe's hands.
gooooood morning ITDers!
Looking forward to the series with the Jints!
I came to work early so that I could go to BP!
Go Vicente!
Go Dodgers!
Dodgereric ~ Thanks you so much for the stats. I knew they would be revealing.
Rose, some of your questions are going to require more time to research than I have to spare. But I'd like to respond to some of what you wrote.
This year, Jeter has NOT started at short 13 times. Five of those he DH'd. But since 6/28, he has either been at short or DH every game but one.
I posted some stats a few days ago that showed Ethier and Kemp having worse batting games the day after they were rested, particularly Kemp. Pierre hasn't hit so hot when replacing them either. The number .211 seems to stick in my head.
We've won 3 more than both the Cards and the Phils, not 5.
What's keeping us #1? Well, the Cards have lost 5 of their last 6 while we were winning 5 of 6 against SF and PIT. And although the Phils have won 5 straight against the Mets and Nats (while we were winning 5 of 6 against SF and PIT), they lost 6 of their last 9 before that. So don't mistake us for being all that dominant. We're still right around .500 since the All-Star break.
Let's ask that again: What's keeping us #1?
Answer: April and May.
CPO…Great advice…I don't need to completely understand TORRE or the behind the scenes of the games (all the politics). I have noticed that getting to involve in the politics will make me enjoy the game less (well atleast for me). I am just going to keep cheering for our BOYS IN BLUE. I am also learning not to get attached to a player wearing the Dodgers uniform, cause they can be traded anytime (that is why I decided to change my screen name). I am still an ETHIERAHOLIC & a MARTINISTA, BUT first of all I AM A DODGER FAN! I am extremely happy that ETHIER exploded as a great player during his DODGER YEARS and he will always remember DODGER BLUE!
Oh, not a problem Rose. I just know that there is A LOT MORE going on behind-the-scenes and in the clubhouse that none of us are privy to. And we shouldn't be privy to everything that goes on in the backgrounds. We have no idea what's going on there, and I for one am not going to try to guess. Like you, even if I did know, I wouldn't want to know because it would take away the enjoyment of the game away from me. For me, keep it simple regarding baseball – watch the game, cheer when my Dodgers do something good, and know that there is another game if they lose. At least until they play their last game in the playoffs! Well, there will be another game; it'll just be months and months away. Well, I've gotta go. In the meantime…
Thanks ERIC your stats and knowledge helps me out alot and are very fun to read. I did check out the stats you had post-it about KEMP & ETHIER. Between you & CHAD I have been reading alot of stats. I don't need all of my questions answers, I just wanted to see if it's worth resting our best players. And I know we are not a dominant team (hey we lost to the D-backs…LOL) and every team has their ups and downs. Thanks ERIC
I guess a lot of the wins also have to do a lot with LUCK! Angels last year had great stats but were elliminated at first round. And we barely made it over the .500 and yet se went further out in playoffs.
Nice points ladies.
Growing up, I don't remember being upset on a daily basis – maybe it's this darn internet age we live now! But I remember a couple of times when I went to a game as a kid and Reggie Smith was not in the lineup and I was ticked!! But at least I could count on Garvey, Lopes, Russell and Cey to be there – barring injury.
SCOTT before instead of voicing our opinions here on-line…we just screamed at the TV or RADIO and just let the fustration out…LOL We are just die-hard Dodger fans and we want them to WIN! I have also notice that when you start betting (specially $$) the funs starts disappearing.
Good thing the old tv's could take more abuse than the HD sets everyone has now!
LOL!!!! Yes, I am laughing at you dodgereric 🙂 BTW – I hear the Cheville is sick, yes? It was all the news yesterday in the house.
I remember listening to a game on my mom's car radio while sitting in the driveway one night and getting so mad at something that I snapped the horn ring off the steering wheel.
That was the last time I was allowed to listen to a game for a while……….
Hey now-a-days you can text your comment and the next thing you know, it shows up on TV or the big huge screens they have on the games and concerts…LOL I would love to see what ERIC, ENCHANTED, & SCOTT will text to TORRE…LOL!
I am out…..GO DODGERS…LET'S WIN!
I am sorry dodgereric. I got time warped – Crap!!!!!!
Rose, I'm sure the texts are reviewed. So I doubt most of mine regarding Torre would make it.
Junie, yep. She's a little sick. The throttle cable shredded while Matt was going to school and jammed the accelerator down. Three hundred and fifty horses started roaring up the hill with a lot of traffic in front of him. Praise God, he had an escape to the left and no traffic in the other lane to keep him from going into it. I told him if it ever happened again he could simply shift it to neutral and he says, "Oh……yeah." LOL!!!
Getting it home was fun. With no cable, I ran the throttle with my hand enough to get him about 20 feet to the top of a hill. From there it was down hill the rest of the way home. We were thinking it might have been fun to run a rope from the carborater through the window, but smarter heads prevailed.
I spent most of the day running one down and finally found one in LA. So it looks like we'll be able to get her up and running again tomorrow.
Yep – that's exactly how Mariya described it, other than her car terminology was very Mariya like – LOL!!!. It sounded pretty scary when she said what happened. I am glad she (the Cheville) will be better, and at least you got a father/son day out of it. Oh, she walked out of the house today like a Dodger nightmare……………..decked out in orange and black from head to toe. It is their football team's first home game, and as you know, it just happens to be their school colors.
Also, it is crazy hat day here at school, and Gilbert, our head custodian, almost…………….almost wore a Dodger hat because that would be crazy to do as a gnat fan. Of course, he had to enlighten me of his plan, and I thanked him for not doing it. Giants fans wearing Dodger gear is just soooooo very wrong. I wouldn't be caught dead wearing anything that has the gnats on it.
First I thought you meant crazy hot then I read some more. Is just that is hot today here in Chatsworth.
i know what you mean about the betting and taking the excitment of the game. I remember a long time ago betting $100 and throwin myself on the floor because within seconds of me winning, I lost when the Seahawks came back and won against the Raiders. It did not help that I worked for a beverage company where many betted and the sister of a bookie worked there. The was the last time I betted on a game. I realized it was not fun watching the game that way.
I can understand why everyone was upset when there were only 3 regular players on Wednesday but I can see the reasoning behind it. The game the night before was four hours long!. I was tired just watching it from the stands. Russell definitely needed a rest. As everyone knows I watch Andre, Manny and Matty pretty closely and they looked tired. Andre, Matty and James all played. It was good to let Ausmus catch for Kuroda since they seem to understand each other. Belliard has been a hitting machine so it was good to rest Hudson. Raffy probably is feeling his back this late in the season so Castro played. Blake just is getting off DL so Blake DeWitt was a good choice. Manny doesn't always play a day after a night game. He hasn't been hitting all that well anyway so Pierre was a good choice. Remember, they were playing the Pirates, not the Rockies. It is better not to stress our regular players now so they will be good during the playoffs.
Cpompe1 I hope your mom is better, sorry she was ill. How is everything? If you ever have time take a peek at my blog http://catlovesthedodgers.mlblogs.com. The blog is mostly pictures.
Maybe Manny should make 15 mil instead of 20 if he can't play a day game after a night game. He's got the rest of his millionaire life to rest. These guys are in great shape, they get totally pampered with massages and great food and hot tub treatment. Geeze. Thursday was an off day.
Have a good evening everyone!
I am heading to the stadium now.
Let's hope for more magic at the Magic Castle!
LEt's go Dodgers
Let's go Padilla!
cpompe1-glad your mom is home and doing well.
Look who got the lowest ba/obp this month and no surprise who it is?
Good Evevning ITD, Dodger faithful and Our Beloved Boy's in Blue……
Well I made a bet on the series today…..When the Dodgers win. I will be enjoying a Baskin Robbins banana split, courtesy of one disapointed Giant fan, with a big smile, and whipped cream all over my face………:-)
Enjoy the game everyone…..
Look who has the best pitching this month considering that the 2nd team has 1 fewer game and 10.1 innings less but the Giants are allowing a baa of .211 and that's first but they do have 60 walks and we have walks only 39 and that hard to believe when we had Bills/Kershaw ranked in the top 5 in walks.
The Dodgers pitchers issued 2.6 walks a games this month while the Giants pitchers issue 4 walks a games and with the 21 fewer walks we now have a total of 527 walks to the Giants 526. The Giants had a huge lead over us in this category but not anymore. To bad espn.com won't show the Starting Pitchers ERA and Relievers ERA this month but they do have it in the total.
Wow!!! It's Billz out of the bullpen.

Swiss-Italian photographer Christian Tagliavini's contemporary antique photos blend fine arts and craftsmanship seamlessly into "1503," his captivating portrait series. 1503 is the birth year of Agnolo Bronzino, an Italian court painter for the Medici family of Florence, whose realistic paintings had an enormous influence on portraiture.
Though Tagliavini's photos may appear to be historically based oil paintings, they are more than just a literal translation of antiquated art through new technology. The clothes and body positioning echo Bronzino and the light in these portraits is tender and perfect, but it's the details of the photos that emphasize the modernity of the work-the stylized outfits, exaggerated necks, translucent skin and clear directness of the models' gazes. Unlike the bold colors of the paintings, the photographs are printed in pale, unsaturated tones, which work to make them feel more contemporary.
"Christian Tagliavini loves designing stories with open endings (requiring observer's complicity) on unexplored themes or unusual concepts, featuring uncommon people with their lives and their thoughts made visible. This rich and exciting collision of circumstances results in photos as a final product."
Tagliavini is impressively skilled-not only is he the photographer, he is also the costume designer, set builder, and casting director. He says, "I'm fascinated by the fact that I don't simply release the shutter, but that the real fun for me is before I take the pictures. I say that I'm not really a photographer, but a workman of photography."

Gunpowder Falls State Park (Baltimore and Harford counties)
Gunpowder Falls State Park, which encompasses nearly 18,000 noncontiguous acres in Harford and Baltimore counties, was established to protect the stream valleys of the Big and Little Gunpowder Falls and the Gunpowder River, which begins at Days Cove where the Big and Little Gunpowders converge.
There are more than 100 miles of trails, including the 21-mile Northern Central Railroad (NCR) Trail, now known as the Torrey C. Brown Rail Trail, named in honor of the third Maryland Department of Natural Resources secretary. The park features trout fishing opportunities, as well as other freshwater and tidal fishing areas.
Gunpowder Falls State Park areas include the Hereford Area, along York Road in Parkton in Baltimore County; the NCR Torrey C. Brown Trail, which extends from Ashland Road in Baltimore County to the Pennsylvania line; the Central Area, which extends from Baldwin to Days Cove along both river valleys and includes the historic village of Jerusalem Mill; the Hammerman Area, which is in Chase near the intersection of Eastern Avenue and Grace Quarters Road, and offers a swimming beach on the Gunpowder River; and Dundee Creek Marina, also located in Chase, which offers boat launching, rowboat rental, fuel and a marina store.
Palmer State Park
Located in central Harford County, Palmer State Park is a 555-acre unbroken tract of forest. Two miles of scenic Deer Creek run through the park. Historic sites can be found along the creek banks, and native flora and fauna can be found in the forested habitat. Access to the park is limited, and there are no maintained hiking trails. Parking areas are limited to roadside pull-offs. But plans are under way to add environmentally friendly recreational activities.
Rocks State Park
Rocks has 855 acres of dense forests and massive boulders rising above Deer Creek. The King and Queen Seat, once a ceremonial gathering place of the Susquehannock Indians, is a natural 190-foot rock outcrop. This well-known cliff, reached by scenic trails, offers a view of the rolling hills and farmland of Harford County. Also preserved on park property are many structural remains from the days when the Maryland and Pennsylvania Raiload wound its way through Rocks, helping the farms and quarries of northern Harford County to prosper.
Deer Creek is popular for fishing and tubing. Secluded glens along its shores are great for picnicking and relaxation.
Susquehanna State Park
Situated along the western bank of the Susquehanna River between Conowingo Dam and Havre de Grace, Susquehanna State Park offers a variety of outdoor recreational opportunities as well as points of historical significance. The park is home to some of the most popular mountain biking trails in Maryland, and the river beckons anglers and boaters. Susquehanna State Park also contains a very family-friendly campground with traditional campsites and cabins. History buffs will be drawn to the restored Rock Run Historic Area with its working grist mill, the Rock Run House, Jersey Toll House and the remains of the Susquehanna Tidewater Canal.
Park information was compiled from Harford County Government and Maryland Department of Natural Resources sources.

IN PICTURES: Mandela's Journey Home
On the final leg of 10 days of mourning, Nelson Mandela's body was flown from the seat of government in Pretoria to his ancestral hometown of Quno on Saturday.
"A guard of honor carried his casket from the hearse onto the transport plane that flew the late South African statesman home to the Eastern Cape for burial on Sunday," NPR's Ofeibea Quist-Arcton tells our Newscast unit from Johannesburg. "The two-hour flight was preceded by a moving memorial, organized by his governing ANC Party."
With that, we'll leave you with a collection of photographs that tells the story:
