Kanye West

I spent my last 8 checks's on a neck-e-lace

And would I do em again? Hmmm, hmmm?

And it's no coke sniffin just juice and gin
Grey Goose to get you loose then hit the nigga producing
The track that got you movin, this track got you movin
So crazy you don't know what you doin
You been telling them jokes, and its not a rumor
I like a girl with a sense of humor
To give me head til it ache and it's not a tumor
So let me know what's goin down 'fo I pay for this room cuz
[Chorus x2]
[Verse 2]
Now if you got it you got it
And if you don't then you prolly wont
Sissy niggaz call em maricon
I never hit a lady but my game might abuse em
By em boots just to tell them that I Jimmy Choose em
Take em back to confuse em
So she don't know if she coming or going
Cuz mami after I'm cumming I'm going
Back to show just frontin and flowin
Jewelry stuntin and glowin, this life is something I know it
And I been known to have a hoe or two
Cuz my diamonds yellow like a smoker tooth

Roll a joint, smoke a few, after that I'm pokin you
After that it's over boo, baby grab your coat and VOOM
[Chorus x2]
[Verse 3]
Now there's three different levels to relationships
Polly'n at the club wit em, talking getting affectionate
Leavin and havin sex with em, kickin them out
Trickin on models, dimes and rats, now I don't get into that

Let em seat in the Lex, never, eat em unless
That fuckin cat looks fresh

Who ready to fuck? You ready to fuck? Off the sizzurp
Says she ready to cut, then she grabs my scissors
She prolly look good but what's scary to me
Henny make hoes look like Halle Berry to me
[Chorus x2]

Last week, we discussed the potential of a feature adaptation of Disney's Gargoyles, a dark and Gothic animated serial from the mid-1990s. There was a good amount of support for the idea and more than a fair share of nostalgia for the property. To encourage more discussion in the comments, feel free to let us know if you think a particular adaptation is a good idea and why, who should star in the major roles and who is fit to sit in the director's chair. This week, we'll set sail for the distant waterworld of Mer in search of the lost Thirteen Treasures of Rule. If you don't know what I'm talking about, hit the jump to find out. Hollywood! Adapt this: The Pirates of Dark Water.
For decades, Hanna-Barbera was the king of cartoons: The Smurfs, Jonny Quest, Space Ghost, The Powerpuff Girls and Yogi Bear just to name a few (we'll be revisiting Hanna-Barbera properties a LOT in the coming weeks and months). Easily lost in their long list of properties was the short run of a pirate adventure series that thrilled fans during its duration but ultimately left them unfulfilled when it was canceled. Let's get into The Pirates of Dark Water.
What It's About:
The original series from creator David Kirschner (An American Tail) debuted in 1991 as a five-part mini-series. Later that year, the episodes were re-run (with some minor tweaks) and kicked off the series in earnest. The Pirates of Dark Water introduced viewers to Ren (voiced by George Newbern), a young lighthouse keeper who rescues a man from drowning when he washes ashore. The man turns out to be Primus, rightful ruler of the crystal island of Octopon and Ren's father. With his dying breath, he tells Ren about the Dark Water that threatens to cover all the land and gives him a magic compass that will lead him to the Thirteen Treasures of Rule, the only way to defeat the darkness. His last gift to Ren comes in the form of a broken sword which plays a part in restoring order to the world.
Unfortunately for Ren, as soon as he learns about his heritage and destiny, a winged-creature crashes through the lighthouse window and carries him away. The monkeybird known as Niddler (voiced by Roddy McDowall and Frank Welker) works for the evil pirate lord Bloth (voiced by Brock Peters), a massive villain who captains the Maelstrom, which dwarfs any other ship on the twenty seas of Mer. Bloth is obsessed with three things: finding the lost treasures to control the Dark Water, using them to rule the planet and eliminating the heir to the throne of Octopon. Bad news for Ren. The good news is that Bloth is a vile man and his men have no love for him; monkeybirds have even less. Ren and Niddler strike an accord and Niddler flies the young prince to safety.
The unlikely duo then seek a ship to transport them in their search for the treasures. They happen upon Ioz (voiced by Hector Elizondo and Jim Cummings), a rogue and a pirate who has an ugly history with Bloth and is interested only in treasure. He leds Ren and Niddler to The Wraith, a swift ship that will serve their purpose splendidly. (Ioz momentarily forgets to mention that he's actually stealing the ship from a fellow pirate.) Another surprise awaits the crew on board as Tula (voiced by Jodi Benson), has stowed away on The Wraith. Introduced as a simple barmaid, Tula is revealed as an ecomancer, with powers over the elements and biological life. She, like the rest of the characters in Pirates of Dark Water, is much more complicated than she appears.
So there you have it! The conceit, the heroes and the villains all set up nicely in the first half-hour! By the end of the 21 episode run, Ren and his crew had visited numerous islands, taken on a number of side quests, gathered eight of the thirteen treasures of Rule and freed half of Mer from dark water. But due to a combination of factors (expensive animation style, poor ratings and a takeover of Hanna-Barbera by Turner, to name a few), the show was cancelled without ever completing the quest or giving fans closure to the fate of the world of Mer.
Could / Should It Be Adapted?
Always the quest! Let's start with a financial/marketing angle again on this property. The original, short-lived series spawned a video game and a toy line, which could easily be resurrected today. The Pirates of the Caribbean franchise proved that audiences were willing to delve into a nautical fantasy full of bigger-than-life characters and pirate lingo. The Pirates of Dark Water has much more colorful and fantastic creatures and characters aplenty and sports one of the best made-up languages ever. Kids could run around yelling, "Noi jitat!" and not get yelled at for swearing. ("Jittatin' monkeybird," is still one of the best and geekiest insults I can think of.)
However, even PotC spent a good portion of their screentime on land because filming water scenes tends to jack up the cost by quite a bit. PoDW 's alien world of Mer is mostly water and a LOT of cat-and-mouse chases happen between the Wraith and the Maelstrom over the course of the series. Not to mention the dark water's presence and dispersal by the treasures. While the treasure-seeking can take place on land, a huge part of the production would be on water. But hey, there's also big franchise potential to look at as the quest would take place over at least three movies.
So should this property be resurrected? Absolutely! It's Pirates of the Caribbean with a plot people might actually care about. It's a classic coming-of-age story intertwined with treasure seeking, high adventure on seas swarming with pirates, the struggle of heroes against a faceless evil that threatens the world and a study in complex characters that evolve/betray/seduce/save each other over the course of the story. What more could you want??
The Final Word:
I absolutely adore this show and it breaks my heart that the story was never finished. A feature (or, likely, features) would go a long way towards filling a hole in my nostalgia from childhood. Kirschner is still active in Hollywood (though why he's producing the Direct-to-DVD Curse of Chucky, I'll never know), so there's the slimmest of chances of getting this some attention again. Of course it will need some modern touches and I think that goes without saying for any of these revisitations. But the core of the story is strong and high concept and is tailor-made for a feature adaptation.
As to who I'd like to see at the helm, James Cameron brought the world of Avatar's Pandora to life in a stunning fashion and I'd love to see him tackle the alien world of Mer (though, if rumors prove true, we may see a watery side of Pandora in one or both of the upcoming Avatar sequels). Unlike last week when I proposed keeping the Gargoyles voice cast in tact for the possible feature adaptation, The Pirates of Dark Water will require flesh-and-blood actors. At the risk of white-washing the cast, I'll say (grudgingly) that Zac Efron looks the part of Ren and is young enough to pull it off. (Go ahead and fire off the hate in the comments now. I fully expect it.) I'm not uber-familiar with Efron's work, but I don't doubt that a studio would at least consider making him a franchise leader.
As for Ioz, how about Danny Trejo? (Did I win you back with that one?) He's a tad on the old side for Ioz, who is supposed to be more of a big brother to Ren than a father (or grandfather), but I'll be damned if he wouldn't make a good Ioz. I'll probably lose you again with my suggestion for Tula: Glee's Lea Michele. I think she's got the look and might welcome the opportunity to move on from the musical series. As for Bloth, what's James Gandolfini up to these days? I know I'll get you on my side with this one: Niddler, as played by Andy Serkis. 'nuff said.
If you want more information on The Pirates of Dark Water, check out this extensive fan site. You can also pick up the entire series on DVD at Amazon:
Here's the synopsis for Pirates of Dark Water from the show's intro, which you can also check out below:
The alien world of Mer is being devoured by Dark Water. Only Ren, a young prince, can stop it, by finding the lost Thirteen Treasures of Rule. At his side is an unlikely but loyal crew of misfits; at his back, the evil pirate lord Bloth, who would stop at nothing to get the Treasures for himself.
It's high adventure with The Pirates of Dark Water!
Let us know your thoughts in the comments. Anything goes: is this a good idea? Who should play which part? Am I way off target on my casting/directing choices? Then, be sure to check back next week when we revisit the adventures of a boy, his dog, his adopted brother, his genius father and the family bodyguard!

HANOVER, N.J. – The youth movement is here, and the benefits can been seen at both the USL and MLS levels.
Since it's inception ahead of the 2015, New York Red Bulls II has provided an invaluable platform for rookies and Homegrowns to learn the system employed by the first team, while developing a skillset that directly translates at the highest level.
HOW AND WHERE TO WATCH #SJvNY:
Match will be broadcast in its entirety on MSG+
You can also stream the match on MSG GO
Off to a flying start in 2016, the USL squad has picked up an impressive seven points from their first three matches. Boasting talent and depth throughout their roster, the benefit to the squad is twofold; as fringe MLS players have used their opportunities with NYRBII to play meaningful minutes in a professional environment, while staying sharp for an eventual call up to the first team.
Seeing minutes in two of their first three matches, Homegrown talent Alex Muyl has already reaped the rewards of this system.
Entering as an 85th minute substitute in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Sporting Kansas City, the Georgetown product replaced captain Dax McCarty as the Red Bulls tried desperately to find a goal to claw their way back into the match. Muyl was pleased to finally step onto the Red Bull Arena pitch for the first time in his MLS career.
"It was really exciting," Muyl said. "You know that any time you're on the bench, you can possibly have a role to play in the game. When my number was called I knew what I had to do."
Given the nature of his entrance to the game, Muyl admitted that finding the match was a struggle. Still, the 20-year-old acknowledged the valuable lessons to be taken from his debut performance.
"It was definitely a hard game to come into," he admitted. "It was very fast-paced and I don't know if I even got comfortable in the game. But I think that little moments like that and building on it will be very important."
Even in a losing effort, a professional debut is still a milestone achievement and one that his teammates lauded after the match.
"He's a busy player," defender Sal Zizzo said of Muyl. "He works hard, he's around the ball a lot, and I thought he did well. I'm happy for him, I congratulated him after the game, so hopefully many more for him."
A day later, Muyl went back to work, this time at the USL level. Returning to the Red Bull Arena pitch for the second time in as many days, Muyl continued to impress, notching an impressive goal in his side's 4-0 romp over Bethlehem Steel FC.
With continued standout performances at both the USL and MLS levels, head coach Jesse Marsch admitted that Muyl may well be a player that will see more minutes as the season wears on.
"We like Alex," Marsch said. "He has a grittiness about him, a competitiveness about him, and he's got some quality. I thought he had a very good game [with NYRBII on Sunday night] and it was good to get him in the first team game, as well. I thought he made an impact when he went in, so he's going to be a guy that I think will establish himself as a guy we can count on."

Resources for Celebrating the Twelve Days of Christmas
- Martha Zimmerman Author
- 2004 14 Dec
All of the pre-Christmas parties, programs and concerts are over. Many people have very little scheduled and have extra time off from work. Often they feel a letdown and are lonely.
Your house is already decorated.
You probably still have some of your Christmas baking.
The Bible says, "The star stopped over [the house] where [Jesus was]" (Matthew 2:9, Phillips). If you have invited Jesus into your home, ask yourself, "What's it like because He is here?"
When the angel appeared before the shepherds, they were out in the fields caring for their sheep. Who are your sheep? How are you caring for them?
The angels announced the good news of Jesus' birth to the shepherds. It is always wonderful to hear the Good News. Who first told you the good news about Jesus?
The shepherds told everyone about what they experienced. Tell your friends and neighbors your story as you have experienced Jesus.
Twelve Ideas for Celebrating
1. Write or telephone the person who first told you about Jesus and say, "Thank you."
2. Call your church office and ask for the name or names of newcomers to your church. Invite them over for an evening to get acquainted.
3. Do you have new neighbors? Is there someone the Lord has been nudging you to reach for Him in your office or workplace? Invite them in for an evening or to a Saturday morning breakfast or brunch.
4. Invite a friend or a family to go skating or cross-country skiing. Afterward, warm up around a fire with pizza and some Christmas goodies. Share your story of what Christ's birth means to you.
5. After dark, take a senior citizen on a drive to see outdoor lighting displays and then to your home for simple refreshments.
6. Invite your children's Sunday school teachers for a meal or evening dessert party.
7. Visit an art museum to see the great paintings of the Nativity.
8. Invite an international student to your home. Many are not able to return to their homes and so have nowhere to go over this long holiday. They are eager to learn about our culture and are open to hear about our celebration of Christ's birth and how it makes a difference in our lives.
9. Take a photo, slide or video of the family in the same place every year. Watch how the children grow! They will love it! Our children are always eager to view family photo albums and videos. Take an evening to remember your family history with stories and pictures.
10. If you are a young single, invite a senior single out for brunch or lunch after church. Share your reasons for continuing to celebrate Christ's birth. Invite your new friend to share Christmas memories.
11. Read a story together as a family. Some suggestions are:
• Leo Tolstoy, "Where Love Is, There God Is." Martin, a shoemaker, wondered how he would receive Christ if He came to his door.
• Henry Van Dyke, "The Other Wiseman." Artaban, on his way to see the newborn king, stops to help a sick man. When he arrives at the meeting place, his friends have already started the journey. Great time to read this story!
• Barbara Robinson, "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever." Some unusual children take part in a church's traditional Sunday school Christmas program.
12. New Year's Eve and Day — Pass out paper, pencils, and envelopes for each person to write a personal goal for the new year. Write the name on the envelope. Insert the goal and seal the envelope. Collect the envelopes and store them in a jar or box in a safe place. Next year, distribute the envelopes to their owners. Repeat each year.
Share answers to the question "What was the best thing that happened to you this year?"
Unwrap a large family calendar. Mark with red marker all of the known special events for the year ahead: birthdays, anniversaries, family celebrations suggested in this book, and vacation dates.

Military plane, helicopter collide off SoCal coast
LOS ANGELES -- The U.S. Coast Guard and Navy were searching early Friday for as many as nine people off the Southern California coast following a collision between a Coast Guard plane and a Marine Corps helicopter, officials said.
The crash was reported at 7:10 p.m. PDT Thursday, about 50 miles off the San Diego County coast and 15 miles east of San Clemente Island, Coast Guard spokeswoman Petty Officer Allyson Conroy said.
A pilot reported seeing a fireball near where the aircraft collided, Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor said, and the Coast Guard informed the FAA that debris from a C-130 had been spotted. Seven people were on board the plane, a C-130, and two people were aboard the helicopter, he said.
Cpl Michael Stevens, a spokesman for the Miramar Marine Corps Air Station, said the AH-1W Super Cobra helicopter was on a training mission when it went down. The Cobra and its crew are part of Marine Aircraft Group 39, based at Camp Pendleton, and the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, which is headquartered at Miramar, Stevens said.
The missing Coast Guard plane and its crew are from Coast Guard Air Station Sacramento, said Coast Guard Petty Officer 2nd Class Jetta Disco. Crews from the Sacramento Coast Guard station fly search-and-rescue, law enforcement and logistics missions, Disco said.
The Coast Guard planned to search through the night, having sent three cutters and diverting an MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter to the area to search for survivors. The Navy, meanwhile, sent four vessels and multiple helicopters.
"The search condition are ideal for tonight," Lt. Josh Nelson of the Coast Guard told XETV in San Diego. "We`ve got a clear sky, the winds are calm, the seas are calm, and we have a lot of assets out there."
San Clemente Island is the southernmost of the eight Channel Islands located 68 nautical miles west of San Diego. The Navy has owned and trained at San Clemente Island since 1934, according to the island`s Web site. Naval Air Station, North Island is responsible for the island`s administration.
Earlier this week, it was an AH-1 Cobra attack helicopter that collided with a UH-1 helicopter over southern Afghanistan, killing four American troops and wounding two more, a Marine spokesman said. ©

Melvin addresses players before full-squad workout
PHOENIX -- Even the defending American League West champions need a pep talk every now and then.
There was never a better time for one than Sunday, when the A's gathered around manager Bob Melvin in their clubhouse at Phoenix Municipal Stadium shortly before their first full-squad workout.
"Go about our business the same way we did last year, prepare very hard," said Melvin, in relaying his message to reporters. "You take pride in what we did, that's for sure. You want to carry that forward but also understand that this is a new year, and you have to let that go. But once you let that go, you have to reflect and ask yourself, 'What made us good?' What made us able to win the West?'
"We had a lot of success, and we should be very proud of the fact that we did, but this is a new season, and unless you're moving forward, you're moving backward."
Players were also treated to a five-minute video montage that included highlights of their inspiring 2012 season. Soon after, Melvin was roaming around the multiple fields at the club's Minor League complex, the early stages of his evaluation process underway.
Melvin will have to make several tough decisions this spring, as an influx of infielders -- particularly at second base -- and relievers crowds his roster.
"There's competition here," he said. "We still have to find out where all of the pieces fit. There might not be too many 25-man roster spots open, but within the 25-man we're still trying to figure some things out. It's a good thing. You always want competition, guys going out there with a little extra edge playing to make a job, whether it's more at-bats or whatever."

A new GovTech Exchange poll says purchasing rules can block shared services and emerging technologies.
Nearly 60 percent of respondents to a new Government Technology survey call the public procurement process a significant barrier to innovation. Many said government procurement rules make it tough to adapt to changing requirements and adopt cutting-edge technologies while others pointed to difficulties in making financial commitments beyond one fiscal year or engaging in cross-jurisdictional shared services.
The results are based on responses from 51 members of the GovTech Exchange, an online community of senior-level IT professionals from state and local government.
Some respondents said they're trying to improve the procurement process. For instance, 48 percent said they're either implementing or considering greater use of pilot projects to try new ideas. But the most popular type of procurement reform was greater standardization of IT hardware and software — cited by almost 70 percent of survey respondents — which may have little direct impact on innovation.
And even though a majority of respondents said procurement rules hinder innovation, many also appear satisfied with their purchasing processes. Indeed, 57 percent rated their jurisdiction's process as "effective." Whereas, 35 percent called their processes either "not very effective" or "not effective at all."

Dear Mr Cameron,
I'm a little confused. If you follow my blog (and let's face it, why wouldn't you on your tea break) you would know that this often happens, usually following the announcement of some education policy or another. Then the confusion gets coupled with a bit of research, some healthy debate and then an opinion.
I thought that was what I was meant to do this time, with the whole 'EU in-or-out' thing. I've been doing my homework as an independently minded, resourceful citizen, and reading up on the EU from a variety of sources. I've looked at academic research on various aspects of the EU and Britain's relationship with and in it. I've read opinions from experts on economics, politics, human rights and business. I've had some hearty discussions well past my bed-time with my husband on the subject, and with a wider audience (even the mummies and grannies at playgroup). And then your leaflet drops through my door.
It's probably fair to admit at this point a couple of things:
1. I am broadly in agreement with the sentiments expressed in your publication;
2. I'm a qualified history teacher.
The first point should make you smile over your chocolate hobnob, as that's one less person to worry about stuffing up the government's plans for the next few years. The second point probably made you drop the rest of your biscuit in your tea and you're wrestling with whether to read on, or find a fork and rescue it (your biscuit I mean, although education might be nice).
You see, when I trained as a History Teacher back in the days of independent thought, emphasis on skills, and teachers actually enjoying going to work, we learned how to examine source material for bias. We learned the importance of constructing well-supported arguments, quoting relevant evidence and referring the discussion at the end of each section back to the question asked. As History Teachers, we then imparted in our students the importance of testing sources against a premise, of spotting leading information and considering the provenance of sources as that may prejudice the information presented. We encouraged students to form their own independent conclusions, which may differ from their peers, from their teachers and indeed leaders in that field, but as long as their arguments were well argued and justified, that was ok.
If I were to use your leaflet as a lesson resource with a class in the future (presuming you stop my government butchering my profession and I can actually face going back) I would expect them to identify the obvious weakness, the determined bias and the lack of any counter evidence that supports the other side of the argument. Sadly the drawback of this resource is that as a rather clumsily produced and obviously loaded piece of government propaganda it would fail to provide the requisite level of challenge for higher level students.
So I'm posting it back to you as sadly it is not fit for purpose. It does not fairly examine both sides of the argument, and it does not provide the necessary supporting evidence in order to critically examine the question that voters will be presented with on June 23rd this year. I could also opine at length about the paternalistic tone of the leaflet which makes the assumption that I am too stupid and incapable of researching this issue independently prior to voting that you need to tell me what to do…but then your tea is probably long cold.
And the 34p?Apparently that's how much it cost to send each household your little note*. Well, I feel really bad that you've wasted such an exorbitant sum of money attempting to patronise the electorate of the UK when you had such an opportunity to send us some useful info, that I'm giving you a helping hand. Maybe you can rustle up a leaflet for me (we'll call it Volume #2) before June 23rd that gives the other side of the debate. You know, for balance.
I hope you've had a nice tea break. It's been great to chat. If you'd like some help next time you want an informative leaflet knocking up, maybe you could let me and the mums at playgroup know. We're quite smart really, and we'd be happy to help.
Best wishes,
Jen x
*I'm happy to spend another 34p if it means you do your job properly. I'll try not to consider the fact that another £9m to fix this makes a total of £18m that could build a couple of schools and stuff.

Dear Mom,
I miss you.
Oh, how I miss you.
Not a day goes by when I don't miss you.
I'll always miss you.
Symbolically, I think about my life being like a box of crayons. So many beautiful colors fill my crayon box. The colors can be used together to create a wonderful masterpiece. Some days are colored in shades of blue, others in tints of gray, others with vibrant pinks and refreshing greens. They are all needed at one time or another to create the pictures of my life. My crayon box world is full of so many amazing people and wonderful life-experiences. I am truly grateful for so many.
But today, the brightest yellow crayon is missing. That vibrant hue has not been physically in my world these past 730 days. You've been taken out of my box, out of my world…at least for now. And because of this there is sadness, there is loss.
But also, I thank God for memories, SO many cherished memories! I can look back at so many days when that bright yellow color was ever-present, easily accessible, just a phone call away. Your unconditional love and care were present in my every day, adding your shade of bright yellow. And, I remember…and it gives me great comfort and joy.
Life without you here is harder, emptier, definitely not the same. I can't just pick up the phone and call you when I am struggling or hurting, call you when I want to share good news. The person who'd be one of the first people I'd go to for prayer is not here anymore, at least not in the same way. You always had a way of encouraging my heart and lifting my spirits, pointing me to the One who will always be my greatest encourager. Thank you!
"You hear, O Lord, the desire of the afflicted; You encourage them, and You listen to their cry." ~Psalm 10:17
There is no one here just like you. You will never be replaced. There is no one who loved me exactly the way you did. Oh, how I thank God for you. Oh, how I look forward to seeing you one day again in heaven. What a glorious, tear-filled, overflowing-with-joy kind of moment that will be! That gives me great hope and peace even as I miss you now…
The gift of your life/your love will carry on. Every yellow leaf, yellow flower, brilliant gold finch, fluttering yellow butterfly that crosses my path reminds me of you. Every anchor reminds me of God's faithfulness during this part of our journey. Your strong faith and devotion to prayer, your constant desire to bless and serve others, your uplifting, positive, hardly-ever complaining demeanor, your peace and your quiet strength…all continue to remind and inspire me in this life. Your faith and love, joy and hope will leave a legacy that will go on well into the future.
You lived a life of impact. Thank you for impacting me! You showed me how to truly live, how to truly love. For that, I will forever be grateful.
Mom, today I miss you.
Today I remember you.
Today I take the time to thank God once again for you.
I love you. Always and Forever.
Your daughter, Amy
"Now these three remain: faith, hope, and love.
But the greatest of these is love."
~I Corinthians 13:13 on this April 13.

Ryu's return to form leaves Dodgers atop NL at break
L.A. survives late scare to blank Padres for second straight game
LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers presented a one-day capsule of their first 97 games with Sunday's second consecutive 1-0 win over the Padres.
Deep starting pitching overcame a meager offense, as No. 3 starter Hyun-Jin Ryu rebounded from the Detroit debacle with six scoreless innings and Yasiel Puig singled home Dee Gordon for the lone run against fellow All-Star Tyson Ross.
The win sent the Dodgers into the break one game ahead of the Giants with the best record in the National League. After being 9 1/2 games back on June 8, they went 21-12, primarily because of starting pitching like Ryu delivered.
"The bounce back was almost perfect," manager Don Mattingly said of Ryu.
The Dodgers scored seven runs in the four-game series and came away with three wins. They have 12 shutouts by the All-Star Game for the first time since 1989. Ryu, who won 13 games last year, is 10-5 with a 3.44 ERA.
"Ten wins is a great thing. I feel very proud about it," he said. "My ERA, I'm very unsatisfied with that number, and in the second half of the season I'm focused on lowering that."
There were nervous moments for the bullpen over the final three innings, but J.P. Howell pitched out of Brandon League's jam and Kenley Jansen pitched out of his own with a pair of ninth-inning strikeouts for save No. 27, his turbocharged fastball exploding to 98 mph.
One of the knocks on Ryu when he hit the open market from Korea was a tendency to get bored with the monotony of the long season with the ability to up his game when the mood struck.
After getting pushed around by the Tigers earlier in the week, lacking fastball velocity and being chased after 2 1/3 innings, he rebounded against the Padres.
"It was definitely a wake-up call," Ryu said of the Detroit loss. "Last time I was very forgettable, so I came out today very focused in, and I tried to just remember the basic things I need to do. Specifically, I really had command of my breaking balls today. I was able to get ahead of the count to a lot of players, and that led to a lot of strikeouts."
The difference -- besides the contrasting batting orders -- was that Ryu's fastball added four miles per hour in five days. He said his fluctuating velocity probably keeps him from reaching the level of Cy Young-winning teammates Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke.
"I'm not sure exactly I could pinpoint something, but there is one thing at the top of my head and that would probably be consistency with velocity game in and game out," he said. "Those guys keep their averages very consistently, whereas I have a few different ranges in games."
Mattingly said Ryu can't help but get overlooked pitching behind Kershaw and Greinke. "But I think the people that kind of know within baseball, get him on the free market, see what happens," he said. "They'd be going crazy over him."
A lively fastball made Ryu's slider and curve better.
"He had a hard slider, probably the best slider I've seen from him since he's been over here," said San Diego manager Bud Black.
After Ryu allowed Detroit seven runs on 10 hits, he gave up no runs and two hits to the Padres. After striking out two Tigers, he fanned 10 Padres. After issuing two walks, he walked none.
Gordon made the game's sole run happen. With one out in the sixth inning, he singled off Ross, stole second (No. 43) on a pitch-out and Carl Crawford walked. Puig was given a flat slider over the plate and he singled to center as Gordon scored.
It was enough to hand Ross his 10th loss. Since June 6 he is 1-6 despite a 2.83 ERA.
"That guy today, I thought he was filthy," said Mattingly.

extra 10%
I guess it's because at the price the PC Ultrabooks are going for, I might as well spend the extra 10% and get the Mac. The PCs just aren't cheap enough.
Europeans don't want Ultrabooks - and their lack of interest in the platform will hit Intel's platform market share forecast where it hurts. So reckon Taiwanese notebook component makers, quoted by DigiTimes, some of who have suggested that far from accounting for 40 per cent of the notebook market, as Intel has predicted, …
Price is something that does appear to be an issue.
In most cases, I would say the PC price is roughly the same as the Apple price. When the former are significantly cheaper (and I'm talking over 10%), it's models that haven't shifted – for example, the ACER ASPIRE S3 first retailed for £900 (so fifty quid more than the entry level MacBook Air) and although some retailers are charging that much, it can be had for £300 less.
So far, just about every review I've read of ultrabooks – and I'll add a disclaimer that I've hardly read *every* single review of *every* model– is that they have been niggles. These vary, but generally these are niggles (e.g. badly-designed keyboard) that aren't found on Apple's offerings. However, a lot of punters aren't going to do a huge amount of research, so I suspect the allure of Apple is playing a big part.
The issue raised by manufacturers was that if Intel wanted ultrabooks under $ 1,000 then it would have to offer discount its processors and subsidise manufacturing marketing. There's been a lot written about this – e.g. http://www.slashgear.com/ultrabook-oems-demand-intel-chip-price-cuts-marketing-subsidies-12171279/ The entry level MacBook retails for $999, so straight off the bat there looked like issues for rival companies undercutting Apple or even producing comparable competiting products for the same money.
Come down in price to such a degree that a 'good enough' one costs relatively peanuts, I can't see them making massive headway.*
The cheapness of notebooks/desktops, plus the fact you can have a decent sized screen and keyboard is still attractive to a lot of people.
*Ok granted, 20% share is probably nothing to be sniffed at, but I mean beyond that.
I don't want a monstrous 15" notebook.
I don't want a 10" Netbook with barely enough power to render web pages.
I don't want a 12" Ultra book in shiny mental and SSD drive which will set me back close to £1000.
I just want a bog standard cheap laptop with a smaller screen - it doesn't have to be wafer thin - in fact I would prefer if it wasn't. So if they can flog cheap 15" laptops in PC World, why aren't there any cheap 12" laptops on display (that are not under powered netbooks or hugely expensive Ultra-books) ??
I have a portable, because it's, well, portable. For email/surfing/presentations 12" is fine, it fits a docking station with a pair of 1680x1050 monitors on my desk if I need it to and doesn't pull my shoulder off when hanging about in an airport between flights. It's cheap enough that neither I nor my company will be too upset if it dies after a few hard years.
For the big jobs I have a home desktop with lots of slots for additional cards &disks, and no worries about power consumption.
£1000+ for a skinny and unnecessarily powerful system that can't make up its mind what it wants to be? Why?
"So if they can flog cheap 15" laptops in PC World, why aren't there any cheap 12" laptops on display (that are not under powered netbooks or hugely expensive Ultra-books) ??"
Because in laptop land people have traditionally paid more money for light and small devices.
Problem for Intel is that preconception disappeared when the market was flooded with netbooks. People could get a cheap and functional PC in a form factor which served as an excellent machine for holidays, travel etc. So now the value proposition is all screwed up. I can buy a netbook for £200 so what exactly is in an Ultrabook to justify nearly £700 worth of difference in price?
Okay so perhaps ultrathin batteries, SSDs and screens do add a premium but is it £700 of a difference? And even if it were, who can justify spending a premium to get it when an equivalent specced laptop albeit in a thicker form factor costs substantially less.
Dr Xym: "People could get a cheap and functional PC in a form factor which served as an excellent machine for holidays, travel etc."
Here's my take on small format portables - if I have a machine which is light, compact, and has good enough battery life for me to take it anywhere then I will. For me at least this means it also has to cheap enough that (assuming I've been sensible about keeping the important data safe) I'm not going to burst into tears when, as inevitably will happen, I drop it in a swimming pool, leave it on a bus, or it falls out of the tank bag of a motorcycle at 80 MPH or so. A Netbook at £~200 is just about in that bracket - an Ultrabook at £~1000 emphatically is not!
With roughly the same list of requirements, I found an HP DM1 in PC World for £350. Nice small and relatively light package, reasonable performance, decent but not huge screen, HDMI output for when a bigger screen is handy. Also decent battery life, too. And cheap enough that I won't lose too much sleep if it does have an unfortunate accident whilst I'm travelling, although none of my previous laptops have.
I think the thing with Ultrabooks is always going to be that Windows laptops aren't generally items of desire, they are working tools. And as such, getting one that is a little bigger and made of plastic, for 30% of the price of the skinny aluminium version, is always going to be an easy decision.
There is a very positive review right here on the reg
Performance is a lot better than I expected - on paper, it should be a bit better than an Atom, in reality it's a lot quicker, and very usable indeed with Windows 7 on, very nicely responsive. Definitely up there with the Acer 2930 running an Intel Core 2 Duo at >2GHz that it replaced.
For 11.6" long document at 133dpI, you need more than 1500 lines.
Widescreen makes 15" screens too poor on vertical. We need 4 x 3 or even square screens.
The obsession with video is really annoying. Besides most cinema is actually NOT 16:9
To replace a 15.5" approx 1600 x 1200 ten year old 4:3 laptop you now need an 18" machine. Crazy.
Ultrabooks/macair/Ultrathin are a pointless luxury format.
What's not to like about a laptop with a 2-3x markup over a functionally equivalent conventional model simply because the case is a bit thinner?
I think that when manufacturers lower the margins and stop using materials like aluminium as an excuse to boost the price that they might just become a bit more popular.
People always say Apple kit is overpriced. But hey, see what happens when someone else - companies known for producing cheap kit - try to match them. They can't get them significantly enough cheaper than the Apple to make it worthwhile for non-Apple-haters to not choose the apple.
So is Apple's stuff really overpriced?
Guess what, when you come to sell the Apple laptop you get a really good price for it. Try that with a generic PC laptop.
When buying cars people talk about depreciation, well just like a desirable car (VW Golf, BMW 3 Series) depreciation is much less with an Apple laptop. That alone is worth paying the extra for IMHO.
Or buy your PC laptop (or Citroen C5) and get nothing for it when you come to sell.
"Guess what, when you come to sell the Apple laptop you get a really good price for it. Try that with a generic PC laptop."
Yes, but the Apple laptop cost a lot more to start off with. A lower depreciation on a higher priced item might still work out as a greater loss than the increased depreciation on a cheaper item i.e. Benz GL v Hyundai Santa Fe. The Benz may depreciate by a lower percentage but it's a fuck-load more expensive to start with.
Because Apple has been charging over the odds for it's stuff for years and due to it's current brand image, the other manufacturers want a slice of the pie and are trying to over charge for their stuff.
As Apple own and control OSX there are no other options to get that on a machine, other than hacking OSX on to a laptop or PC.
However the Ultrabook market faces an uphill struggle as the existing systems do basically the same job for a lot less money, so unless you want the fashion factor of the Ultrabook, they're overpriced!
People wouldn't have bought iPads at £1k a pop. That's a fact. Theya re not essential (not yet anyway) so have been priced accordlingly. If folk are interested in ultra books it will be because if helps them achieve something new, and that comes at a price which many precieve as being too expensive. I would like a portable device with a 15" screen (13.3 is too small for me) for my photography work. I don't need it to have the fastest processor, the most RAM, a 1tb harddrive or SSD for that matter, a wacky graphics chip etc. I just would like it to be well built, have moderate power (i3 is cool), good screen but not silly, of a decent weight (sub 2kg), look nice, come with good tech support and not cost the earth. I think these will sell like hotcakes. I suspect the market will pay more for portability and service but not double the price.
Some of the problems is that people have different requirements for PC's, which often overlap the silly group names.
I don't want a netbook, ultrabook, superbook or thebestestbook, I personally want a laptop, that is:
Powerful enough for: office, internet, watching video's, editing photos and occasionally editing video from snowboarding (games would be nice but I have a PS3).
Battery: I would like it to have 6hours of normal use, though I know it will be a bit heavier (if batteries were cheaper, they could come with a slim 3hr battery and stylish, but heavy 6/8hr one as I have on my work'slenovo T500)
Screensize: Large enough to use, all the grads get the manbag size 11 & 13inch and regret it after a while. I like to have a wide screen 15inch so I can have email and word open, or 2 excel docs, (or a video and firefox :) side by side for multi tasking and making life easier
I would like it to be stylish, sleek and not too heavy (when I think apple I think these, when I think PC, only Sony and some samsung come close, but then they are plasticy and break easy, all my perception of course).
But as said this is just me, I travel a lot in hotels most weeks, watch movies, use the internet, work with multiple docs, tools and screens.
The problem is the marketing, media and pigeon holing of machines. Really people prefer cheaper machines at the moment, possibly due to price or screensize.
Also if I am going to splash out, then might as well splash out on Apple as they make good stuff, that is nice to use, lasts and has good customer service, thus worth the higher price (which can be seen in the tablet and phone markets)
Not when you account unglamorous but very real depreciation factor. Just before Christmas I sold a 15" Macbook Pro from early 2006 for a shade over £400. Cost £1150 new (well, Apple refurb). So cost to me just under £11 a month (no repairs /replacements etc needed). Oh yes and I sold an iPhone 3GS (16GB) for about £200 in July which I'd had for nearly two years.
not to mention the fact that the next version of osx is unlikely to need x3 ram to run as we found in the xp to W7 jump.
Apple have taken the time to balance their configs and the MBA meets one of their market segments. Lack of A/V is probably one reason (just guessing) that the performance of OSX holds up.

Morneau powers up to fuel Twins in Motor City
Pelfrey submits second straight solid start for first win since July 6
DETROIT -- It wasn't always pretty, and came on the same night Joe Mauer was placed on the seven-day disabled list with concussion-like symptoms, but the Twins found a way to snap their four-game losing streak on Tuesday night.
Mike Pelfrey registered his second straight quality start and Justin Morneau provided four RBIs while falling a triple short of the cycle to help the Twins to a 6-3 win over the first-place Tigers at Comerica Park.
The Twins clung to the victory despite the Tigers sending the reigning American League Most Valuable Player Miguel Cabrera to the plate with two outs and two runners on in the ninth inning. But closer Glen Perkins was able to strike out Cabrera with a 96-mph fastball to end the game and pick up his 29th save.
"The bullpen came in and, as it always does in Motown, it gets entertaining at the end," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "But we got the outs when we had to. Everyone second-guessed me whether to walk Cabrera, but we got him out."
Pelfrey built on his last start, going 6 2/3 innings, giving up three runs on seven hits and a walk to pick up his first victory since July 6. It marked his second straight start of pitching into the seventh inning, which is something he's only done four times in 23 outings this season.
"I think I went through a little bit of a dead-arm period, but the last two times I didn't throw a bullpen to give myself a break between starts," Pelfrey said. "The last time out I felt sharper, and this time out I felt even better than before. It's definitely feeling better the last two starts, and the results show that, too."
The right-hander outpitched Tigers starter Rick Porcello, who was chased after just 4 1/3 innings, surrendering five runs on seven hits and two walks with six strikeouts.
Morneau, whose four hits carried the offense, got the Twins on the board with a two-run blast in a three-run fourth inning. Trevor Plouffe also brought home a run that inning on a two-out double to left field that scored Wilkin Ramirez from first base.
"The home run, to be honest with you, was one of the better pitches that I threw to him all night," Porcello said of Morneau's long ball. "Obviously, there was something there that I didn't see."
The Twins added two more runs in the fifth, when they loaded the bases with one out against Porcello. The Tigers opted to bring in left-hander Phil Coke to face Morneau, but the decision backfired, as the slugger laced a two-run double on the first pitch he saw from Coke.
"With a runner on third with less and two outs, I wanted to get something I could drive to just to get one runner in from third," Morneau said. "Those are the situations where you have to keep it simple, and if you get anything more than a run, it's a bonus."
Minnesota tacked on another run in the sixth on a solo blast from Pedro Florimon off right-hander Jeremy Bonderman. It was Florimon's first homer since July 31, and just his fifth hit this month.
The Tigers didn't get on the board until the fourth, when Pelfrey gave up a solo homer to Prince Fielder on a first-pitch curveball. Fielder brought home another run in the sixth on an RBI groundout, but Pelfrey was able to retire Cabrera all three times he faced him.
Pelfrey's final inning came in the seventh, as he was able to get two quick outs but gave up an infield single to Brayan Pena and a bloop single to Jose Iglesias. The Twins opted to pull Pelfrey after 96 pitches, going to right-hander Josh Roenicke, who promptly gave up an RBI single to Austin Jackson But Roenicke was able to get Torii Hunter to pop out to Morneau in foul ground to end the inning.
Right-hander Jared Burton came in for the eighth and gave up singles to Cabrera and Victor Martinez, and both runners advanced on a passed ball with one out. But Burton was helped by a diving catch in center from Clete Thomas for the second out before striking out Omar Infante to get out of the jam.
That set the stage for the big matchup in the ninth between Perkins and Cabrera, with Gardenhire opting not to walk last year's AL Triple Crown winner to load the bases for the left-handed hitting Fielder.
"We hated the thought of Miggy coming up there, but I didn't like the thought of Prince coming up there as the [winning] run," Gardenhire said. "It still took two swings to beat us, even with Miggy up there. But if you put Fielder up there, he can do it with one swing. And believe me, he can do it. We saw it earlier in the game."

(Bulk: 1949-1953)
Satterthwaite, Linton, 1897-1978
Extent: 1.2 linear foot
The Benque Viejo (Xunantunich), Cahal Pech expedition, conducted by Dr. Linton Satterthwaite, was an extension of his expedition to Caracol, British Honduras (Belize). It was conceived as a "Housemound Project" and continued for two seasons from 1950 to 1953. The area of Benque Viejo, Cahal Pech contained seventeen structures and five stelae for investigation. Much of the collection relates to the Ball Court and East Plaza sites, as well as Structure A6 first and A6 second. The expedition produced objects and numerous photographs of the area. The Benque Viejo, Cahal Pech expedition records consist of twenty-nine folders in three archival boxes. Materials relate to the proposal for the expedition, preliminary data, budget and financial records, maps, notebooks, field notes, diaries, bag study sheets, progress and summary reports, press and publication materials, and photographs.

Better late than never…
I had sketched out some goals I wanted to accomplish this year. I normally don't bother because follow through on goals never ends up as expected. I figured maybe if I do a recap at the end of the year it'll highlight points I failed at and how I can do things better. In either case, here's the short list:
On the personal side I'd like to be more active. I tend to be active in the summer with yard work and tending to the garden. It's nice to get that movement but it's never consistent. I've gained a few pounds over the past 5 or so years and am nearing the top of the "good" area of the BMI scale for my height. The plan is to do some regular exercise (2-3 days/wk) as well as find ways to change up my diet and hopefully lose 20-30lbs near the end of the year. Current weight is around 165-170lbs and I'd like to get back to something more healthier around 135-145lbs.
I'd like to also book and schedule the honeymoon cruise that we've already had to cancel one or two times. Now that the kids are older it'll be easier to get away for a week without them.
Lastly for personal goals, I'd like to make a habit of eating out with my wife, without the kids, at least one night per month. This shouldn't be too hard to do, we managed 4-6 times last year. Consistency will make this easily attainable.
On the business side of things I have an internal sales figure I'd like to hit. Will report on that at the end of the year.
I'd like to get to at least 6 WordCamps this year, with 1 of them being international.
I'd like to blog more regularly— I plan to offer some video tips and posts on workflows, etc. This will be implemented once I re-launch a new design of my business site. I'd like to shoot for 1-2 posts per week for the tips feature and as-needed on regular blog posts. Focus will be on content, not frequency.
Lastly, I'd like to find a way to contribute 1 day per week to WordPress core development, plugins, or other non-paying open source work. This will take some time to get worked into my schedule, but as long as I'm consistently doing it on a weekly basis by the end of the year and it's sustainable (i.e. I don't feel like it's a chore always finding a spot for it on my schedule) I'll consider this goal met.

Enterprise Security Risks, Part 2: Behind the Threats
In Part One of our Enterprise Security Risks feature, CIO Insight presented the results of a remarkably detailed report on enterprise security from IBM. The stats aren't encouraging: There were nearly 4,400 new vulnerabilities disclosed in first-half 2010, a 36 percent increase over the same time period in 2009. More than half of these incidents had no vendor-supplied patch. Nearly 95 percent of the vulnerabilities can be exploited remotely, with no local system access required. Numbers, however, do not tell the entire story. The research document, titled the IBM X-Force 2010 Mid-Year Trend and Risk Report , goes into significant depth with respect to the "why" behind the numbers - the emerging trends and future developments that could result in an even greater degree of risks for enterprises. For CIOs, the research can serve as a blueprint for the current and future nature of system violations. The report is the result of ongoing, in-depth research by IBM's 3,500-member skilled security services team.

Pedestrian hit by vehicle at crash site on US 52 in Cana
A Cana pedestrian has been airlifted to Winston-Salem, N.C. after being struck by a car following a two-vehicle accident on U.S. 52.
According to Virginia State Police Trooper S.M. Phillips, Angela Jones, 47, of Cana, was involved in a two-car accident on U.S. 52 at the intersection of Flower Gap Road this morning. Troopers were already working the scene of the accident, Phillips said, when Jones received a phone call from her son stating he had also been involved in an unrelated accident.
"There were multiple fire trucks and other rescue vehicles lined up in the center turn lane. She got the call from her son stating he had been in an accident, she stopped to check and stepped out behind a fire truck and that is when she was struck," Phillips said.
Phillips said Jones was struck by a 2012 Chevrolet passenger car operated by Melissa Nester, 37, of Fancy Gap at 8:10 a.m. Wednesday morning. Jones was transported to Northern Hospital of Surry County (N.C.) before being airlifted to Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem.
"I don't know the extent of her injuries," Phillips said. "She was alert and conscious at the scene and was speaking to us."
Phillips said Nester would not be charged.
"She couldn't have done anything about it," Phillips said. "I saw it happen. She tried to stop."
Phillips did not have details of the original accident Jones was involved in along with another vehicle. Another trooper worked that accident and Phillips said a man involved was complaining of neck and back pain.

One of the things I find utterly irresistible about summer is fresh seasonal fruit, don't you? For instance, apricots remind me of my grandma's summer house and to be exact her perfume which always smelled like freshly picked apricots mixed with vanilla. So last week after Balazs got tons of apricots from the market, I wanted to recreate that feeling in my own kitchen and try a new twist on my sentimental fruit. Everyone talks about roasted peaches but believe me, although apricots are smaller, they are great for roasting as well.
They take about 5 minutes to make and if you serve them right away with a scoop of ice cream you will experience the most delightful flavour collision, ever! Hot, sweet and a bit sour fruit mixed with ice cream will make this dish irresistible, promise:)
