Westworld Episode 5 Trailer Teases An Epic Meeting
Posted on Monday, October 24th, 2016 by Peter Sciretta
Before Westworld made its world premiere on HBO, journalists, critics, and bloggers were given screener of the first four episodes of the new Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy television series. But now that the fourth episode of Westworld aired last night, we are all on the exact same train heading into uncharted territory on ominous DELOS park map. But we have a glimpse into the future thanks to HBO's Westworld episode 5 trailer. Get a sneak peek at"Contrapasso" after the jump, alongside some more information on next week's episode.
Westworld Episode 5 Trailer: "Contrapasso"
Westworld Episode 5 is titled "Contrapasso," which is an Italian word translating to "suffer the opposite," referring to the punishment of souls in Dante's Inferno, "by a process either resembling or contrasting with the sin itself." So we're looking at divine justice in next week's episode, which is directed by Jonny Campbell, a television veteran who worked on Peak Practice, Pheonix Nights, Shameless, Ashes to Ashes, Doctor Who, In the Flesh, The Casual Vacancy and more.
The trailer teases an epic meeting between Anthony Hopkins' character Doctor Ford and Ed Harris' character The Man in Black. I'll be honest; I wasn't expecting these two to meet until the last or next to last episode of season one — it was my guess as to what Harris would find at the end of the maze. Ford is the creator of Westworld, making him essentially God of this world. And The Man in Black is almost like the devil himself walking the land. So this meeting is sure to be exciting.
We should learn more about who The Man in Black is and perhaps what exactly he is searching for. What do you think might come out of this much-anticipated meeting? Leave your thoughts in the comments below.
The official Westworld synopsis for the fifth episode follows:
Dolores, William and Logan reach Pariah, a town built on decadence and transgression, and are recruited for a dangerous mission; The Man in Black meets an unlikely ally in his search to unlock the maze.
Westworld episode 5 entitled "Contrapasso" airs Sunday, October 30th, 2016 at 9:00 p.m. on HBO.

A major benefit of life in DC is the vibrant music scene. Generally speaking, ticket prices are reasonable, and the wide offering of venue sizes makes the city an attractive addition to the tour schedules of both big-name artists and those yet to be found. Two summers ago I convinced a friend to head to DC9, one of the District's smaller alternative venues to check out Royal Blood. A year later we barely managed to snag tickets for their sold-out 9:30 Club performance. This experience inspired me to ask some questions about music venues' size, location and pricing which I will explore over the next few posts. I'll go over the findings and graphs first and the coding/procedure at the bottom!
The first and most simple questions any frequent concert goer would ask:
- Where do we listen to music?
- How much does it cost?
To answer these questions I turned to common online ticket retailers in order to procure some concert data. Unfortunately TicketMaster and TicketFly and other primary market ticket sellers make it difficult to learn about event offerings; my web scrapers for those sites were frequently 404'ed. Instead, I turned to secondary ticket market SeatGeek who provide an awesome API and detailed documentation on how to pull down ticket data. Using secondary marketplace data for concert tickets does come with some limitations since scalped tickets are often multiple times more expensive than box office prices. Regardless, the SeatGeek dataset can answer some questions for us:
1. Music venues are geographically clustered. 60% of music venues in the United States are located within 5 miles of another venue. Analysis shows that these "neighborhood clusters" often have a consistent mix of small/medium/large locales, which presumably cater to artists of differing popularity. This clustering trend is apparent in the city-level graphs shown above; certain avenues and neighborhoods contain nearly all of a city's venues. It is likely that venues congregate due to specific sound ordinances in cities, which also has the positive outcome of proximity to bars and clubs.
Even with significant clustering, the effect of sound ordinance on venue location is still a hot topic. Officials in DC are currently considering the extension of stricter residential area sound laws into business/commercial areas. According to the owner of a DC rock club, Black Cat, the move "could effectively shut down D.C.'s live music venues." A better understanding of the relatively tight clustering of venues could help DC officials recognize the value of conserving more relaxed sound-level laws for "rock-n-roll-avenue".
2. More people = More Music. This might seem like a no-brainer but it's interesting to see the effect of population density on the availability of music venues. To explore this, I mapped each venue in the SeatGeek data set to its respective FIPS code (think ZIP code but better) and pulled in 2010 US Census Bureau population counts.
More populated areas are more likely to have more venues, a trend clearly seen on the All United States map at the start of the post - larger cities are easily accessible to musicians via air and highway and have the greatest concentration of music fans. (The Pearson correlation between population and number of venues within a FIPS area is .82 with a p-value of 0.000.)
Population heavy areas (cities) don't cost more per ticket than less populated areas ('burbs/country). There is no statistical relationship between population size and average ticket price. Concert cost is relatively consistent across venues nationally, likely due to nation wide tours maintaining prices between cities. This observation's extension into the real world is, however, fairly limited by the data set which contains mostly city-based venues. Perhaps with a larger/historic data set we could see just the opposite trend with time series analysis.
Where are the most expensive concerts in the nation? This question is only partially answered by the choropleth map below (think heat map by geographic area). The large grey swatches show that we don't have data for every FIPs county in the US. Even with the missing data, we can see that for our dataset of SeatGeek second hand market tickets, the tip of Florida, New York City and southern California have some of the most expensive tickets. The scale, however, is pretty tight and our above correlation findings showed that these more-populated-areas do not have a super strong relationship.
Without a more robust data set of primary market ticket prices we only have a partial glimpse of the nation's ticket prices, but it does allow us to visualize the geographic distribution.
So how did I make these graphs? I used a mix of Python, R (Get maps and SQLDF libraries primarily), SVG manipulation, Excel and coffee. Back in college I used ARCGIS a bit, but on a tight time frame and 0 budget I went the freeware route. I did try some freeware alternatives to ARCGIS but they were slow and clunky.
Ultimately the process was as follows. I am more than happy to share code and data if requested!
- Use Python to pull all events from the SeatGeek API - push to R
- Import/Stack/Munge events data. Summarize individual events to venue level. Explore correlations and plot points for specific cities and US in total. Use "noncensus" library, to crosswalk Zip codes to FIPs codes and pull in 2010 census population values. Summarize average ticket price by FIPs code and export to txt. Other packages used: ggmap, ggplot2, sqldf, rcmdr, hmisc.
- Use Nathan Yau's method from Flowing Data and Python to edit a FIPS code SVG (scalable vector graphic) document from Wikipedia. Import SVG to Adobe Illustrator and spruce it up a bit.
- Listened to lots of Mo Lowda and the Humble during the post creation. This band is like a jazzy Kings of Leon from Temple University and they absolutely rock out.

PALATINE, Ill. (CBS) — The latest figures from RealtyTrac show that in Illinois and nationwide, foreclosed homes now account for about a third of all home sales.
As WBBM Newsradio's Regine Schlesinger reports, a local realtor says he sees opportunities, especially for first-time homebuyers.
LISTEN: WBBM Newsradio's Regine Schlesinger reports
Ryan Gable's company, Starting Point Realty in Palatine, deals exclusively with first-time homebuyers. Gable says the sheer number of discounted homes through foreclosures and short-sales is offering buyers great opportunities.
"That market right now is ballooned, much more than it has been in the past," Gable said.
The RealtyTrac report says the average discount on a bank-owned property in Illinois is about 50 percent, and on a home in default, nearly 25 percent.

Ok, so I am going to have to give myself an out and explain that I very seldom throw lavish dinner parties, however we do have friends and their families over most Sundays or we go to them; so I thought that I would pull together some of my favourite quick and easy Autumnal recipes that would work great as a formal dinner party or equally as well in a relaxed setting.
Butternut Squash Soup
I know, it's a seasonal classic but, they are seasonal for a reason! Butternut is great this time of year and I make a huge vat of it so that I can take some to work on Monday.
Serves 4
1 Medium Butternut squash
1 Onion
3 Garlic cloves
1 Pint Vegetable or chicken stock
Olive Oil
Small tub Double Cream
A couple of days old Crusty Bread or rolls for croutons
- Preheat your oven to 160 degrees.
- Cut crusty bread into crouton sized squares.
- Cut up your butternut squash evenly and place on a baking tray with the garlic and the bread croutons and drizzle with oil. Season and place in the oven for 30- 40 mins until the croutons have browned and the butternut is cooked through.
- Cut up the onion finely and sauté on a medium heat with a tablespoon of olive oil in a saucepan until browned.
- Remove the butternut etc out of the oven and add to the saucepan (making sure to scrape everything out of the baking tray) with the stock and simmer for 20 mins (make sure to try the soup and add more seasoning to taste after simmering for a while as the stock could be quite salty.)
- Take off the heat and cool a bit before using a handheld blender to blitz until smooth (for an extra smooth soup, pass through a sieve.)
- Serve by swirling a tablespoon of cream over the top of the soup and add some croutons.
Coq Au Vin
I love this because it can be left to cook for hours on a low heat in the oven or Aga and is cooked in one pot so saves on washing up.
4 chicken legs ( if you prefer you could cut up a whole chicken into pieces)
20 shallots, peeled but whole
3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1cm slices
2 celery stalks cut into 1cm slices
20 button mushrooms cleaned
12 slices streaky bacon diced
1 bottle full-bodied red wine *
½ pint chicken stock
Bouquet Garni (parsley stalks, 2 bay leaves and 6 sprigs thyme tied together)
Olive oil
1 tbsp plain flour
- Preheat the oven to 160 degrees.
- In a heavy-based casserole dish on a high heat, add olive oil and colour the chicken pieces (should take about 5 mins) remove with a slatted spoon and set aside.
- Reduce the heat and add the bacon and brown for a few minutes until lightly coloured. Next, add the vegetables and cook for about 5 mins, it should all have a nice golden colour.
- Add a tablespoon of flour and stir in until a bit pasty, next gradually add the bottle of wine in thirds whisking as you add to incorporate the flour into a sauce and add the stock and bouquet garni.
- Put the chicken back into the casserole dish, season well and place in the oven for 2hours, check after about an hour and add more stock if needed.
- Remove the bouquet garni and serve over buttery mashed potato and garnish with parsley.*
*For a really rich version of this recipe, reduce the wine by half before using by simmering on a high heat to remove the alcohol and create a more concentrated wine to add. When ready to serve, remove the chicken and vegetables again and reduce the sauce down further until it is a really rich gravy.
Passionfruit Pavlova
4 egg whites
250g Castor sugar
½ tsp cream of tartar
1 large tub double cream
1 split vanilla pod and seeds removed
6 Passionfruit
- Preheat your oven to 150 degrees.
- If you have a mixer, add the egg whites to the bowl and turn to full power for about 5 mins or until the egg whites form stiff peaks. If not use a handheld or balloon whisk to get the same consistency.
- Turn down the speed to medium and add the sugar one tablespoon at a time with the cream of tartar until thick, glossy and no longer grainy.
- Take some baking parchment and draw around a large dinner plate and stick to a baking tray with a small splodge of meringue in the 4 corners.
- Using a large metal spoon, spoon around the outside of the circle drawn on the parchment then fill in the centre but not as high as the sides to create a well.
- Place the baking sheet into the oven for 1 hour and then turn off the oven and leave until cold (overnight if wanted.)
- Whisk the double cream and vanilla seeds until thick and then place into the well created in the centre of the meringue.
- Cut the passionfruit in half and with a teaspoon and spoon the seeds and juice onto the cream then serve.
Yes, there is some preparation involved in doing this as a whole dinner, however, it can all be prepared the day before and put in the fridge, or in one fell swoop the afternoon of the party. Then you can sit back and enjoy being with your guests.

This was another article that came out last week, discussing the conclusion of the hearings discussed below - this time from the Verde Valley paper. Sandy Fabritz-Whitney is the assistant director of ADWR, who testified at the hearing about the agency's role in the process and admitted that the state has been looking into the possibility of creating an Active Management Area (AMA) that would include the Big Chino area. This would be the first AMA created by the State since the Santa Cruz AMA was authorized to form by splitting from the Tucson AMA in 1994. All original AMAs were created by the Groundwater Management Act in 1980.
This might just be a way for the state to encourage local stakeholders to get their act together in this area or there may be genuine local interest in having the state manage the aquifer. Either way I suspect the announcement sent some shockwaves through that part of the state if they were as unaware of this development as I was. I can't wait to hear more on this.

Josh Hennessy
Brockton Massachusetts
Eligible for draft:
Trade with San Jose, 2006
192 lbs.
Prospect Talent Score
Probability of Success
Josh Hennessy was originally drafted by the San Jose Sharks 43rd overall in 2003. After turning pro with the Sharks farm team in Cleveland, Hennessy was traded along with Tom Preissing to the Chicago Blackhawks for Mark Bell. Hennessy's stay with the Hawks was brief to say the least as he was repackaged with Preissing and Michal Barinka to the Ottawa Senators in exchange for Martin Havlat and Bryan Smolinski.
2000-01: Hennessy played for Milton Academy in Massachussets before moving onto the QMJHL for the Quebec Remparts at the age of 16. He was a standout at Milton scoring 30 goals and 60 points in 28 games.
2001-02: In his rookie season in the QMJHL, Hennessy was the Remparts' top rookie and finished seventh in rookie scoring with 20 goals and 20 assists, good for sixth on Quebec. The team's defensive woes were quite apparent and Hennessy's plus/minus rating suffered as a result, finishing with a dismal -26. During the play-offs Hennessy stepped it up and led the Remparts in scoring with three goals and nine assists in nine games.
2002-03: Following a solid finish to the 2001-02 season, Hennessy was named Assistant Captain and picked up where he left off finishing second on the Remparts in scoring. Hennessy's 84 points in 72 games placed him 24th in the QMJHL, and his 16 power play goals were good for ninth. A nine-game, seven-game, and five game scoring streak were key in boosting Hennessy's production. The speedster's offensive exploits the final week of the season saw him named the QMJHL "Offensive Player of the Week," featuring a hat trick against Chicoutimi on March 12. Hennessy vastly improved his two-way game finishing the season with a solid +29. In the play-offs, Hennessy finished third on Quebec in scoring with 6 goals and 9 assists in 11 games. The Remparts hosted the 2003 Memorial Cup tournament and Hennessy lead the way in a losing cause with 4 assists in 3 games.
Hennessy's impressive season drew the attention of the San Jose Sharks who decided to trade a package of late round picks to the New York Rangers to acquire the 43rd pick overall and select him.
2003-04: In his third full season with the Remparts, Hennessy was named Captain of the Remparts and totaled 82 points (40 goals, 42 assists) in just 59 games. His stock soared as finished tied for fifth in goals despite missing 11 games with injuries including a separated shoulder. Hennessy's hard work and determination earned him the prestigious QMJHL's Humanitarian of the Year award. Despite Hennessy's career season, the Remparts missed the playoffs.
2004-05: In his final junior eligible year, Hennessy continued to serve as team captain for the Remparts. He was also the offensive leader for the team with a total 85 points (35 goals, 50 assists) in 68 games to go along with an impressive +28 rating. The Remparts returned to the QMJHL playoffs and Hennessy posted 11 points in 13 games.
2005-06: Played his rookie pro season with the Cleveland Barons (AHL) where he totaled 63 points (24 goals, 39 assists) in 80 games. He led the team in goals, assists and points. Although Hennessy had a strong year, he did not receive any call-ups to San Jose.
2006-07: Hennessy was traded to the Senators prior to the start of the season, the majority of which he played with the Binghamton Senators (AHL). In 76 AHL games, he totaled 57 points (27 goals, 30 assists). He made his NHL debut December 12, 2006 versus the Detroit Red Wings and scored his first NHL goal on January 7, 2007 against the Philadelphia Flyers. He appeared in a total of ten games with Ottawa picking up only the one goal and two minor penalties.
2007-08: Hennessy recorded 22 goals and 29 assists with AHL Binghamton, well enough for second on the team honors for scoring. He recorded 11 multi-point games that season and three game-winning goals. He played the first two games of the season in Ottawa and returned on Feb. 6 to play in three more games for the Senators.
2008-09: Hennessy's development has completely plateaued, being surpassed at the center position by several other Senators prospects.
Talent Analysis
Hennessy's primary strengths are his excellent skating, acceleration, and speed. He is the type of player who seems to be everywhere on the ice and always around the puck. An effective forechecker, Hennessy has terrific work ethic and skates hard every shift, making him noticeable every time he's on the ice. Hennessy is not afraid to through his weight around and is willing to get his nose dirty. He has been known to frustrate opponents due to his knack for jamming at loose pucks even after the whistle has blown. Hennessy has a good set of hands and can score goals as well as create offense for his linemates. He possesses a strong competitive nature and a stable frame with good balance. Some weaknesses include a tendency to circle and glide too much, more dedication to backchecking, and a need to add some extra size/strength.
Barring an unexpectedly impressive showing in training camp, Hennessy appears to be a career AHLer.

150 Clergy Appeal to Obama: Don't Lose Your Ethical Vision, Don't Move to the Political Center
In an open-letter to Senator Obama, over 150 American clergy appealed to the Democratic candidate for President to retain the ethical and spiritual vision that won him the nomination in the first place. Rejecting the "inside-the-Beltway" wisdom that a Democrat must "move to the center to win the election," the clergy disputed the very notion that this is an accurate understanding of American politics.
"Just look at Obama's downturn in the polls in the last few days, and you can immediately see how disastrous the switch in Obama strategy has been as he and his advisors capitulate to the inside-the-Beltway logic imposed by the media and the hired-gun p.r. advisors of the Democratic Party. The reason? The "experts" and the media mavens all misunderstand the psychodynamics of American politics. The central dichotomy in American politics is not Left/Right but fear/hope," says Rabbi Michael Lerner, chair of the Network of Spiritual Progressives, editor of Tikkun Magazine, and an initiator of the letter. "When Senator Obama positioned himself as the prophet of a new kind of politics, he energized millions of young people, and even older Republicans and people who had become so cynical about politics that they have not voted in recent years. But that depended on him being the voice of peace against war, social justice against capitulation to the rich and the large corporations, and ecological sanity. If he now moves to what the inside-the-beltway crowd call The Center, he ends up in an election campaign in which he will be trying to prove that he is a better general for wartime than McCain, and a better mini-manager of the same old system-and that will undermine the hopefulness that was the ticket to his political success and the Republicans will become Republicans again, the youth and the cynics will return to their other concerns, and Obama's political possibilities will be worse, not better."
"Still," Lerner continued, "we approach Obama not as his political strategists but as religious, ethical and spiritual leaders to challenge him to put forward a fundamentally new ethical vision, which is actually the oldest vision-the vision of our various religious and spiritual traditions and of the wise humanistic values that pervade all religions but can be accessed without being religious. We hope that Senator Obama will allow himself to be Obama again, rather than be swallowed up by the ethical visionless-ness of business-as-usual American politics."
The full text of the letter is below.
Dear Senator Obama,
As strong supporters of your campaign to become President of the U.S. in our own personal lives and as leaders in the religious communities in the U.S., we understand well the pressures you must be facing to tone down your message so that you can win the election and then later be more courageous in challenging major assumptions in American public discourse that have been inserted there by a powerful conservative assault for the past thirty years by conservatives and champions of the elites of wealth and power in this country.
Others have articulated elsewhere why "toning down" or "moving to appeal to the Center" is a politically disastrous strategy, not only because it causes disillusionment and passivity among the youth who momentarily thought that something new was happening in American politics and who might otherwise return to apathy when they perceive you as "playing the game" the same old way, but also because it generates despair among all sections of the population that had momentarily allowed themselves to hope that America might become under your presidency a society that unequivocally supported a politics of peace and justice. People who thought that they would vote for you as their peace candidate who seemed more unequivocal than others about ending the war in Iraq, for example, may become less enthusiastic about a candidacy that now calls for escalation of the war in Afghanistan and talks about giving Iranians ultimatums to be followed by green lights for military attacks.
We are writing you from a different angle, not as your election strategists, but as people of faith whose primary allegiance is to be prophetic witnesses to the ethical vision articulated in the holy texts of our religion and the elaboration of those religious traditions over the course of the past two thousand years.
It is our view that America needs "a New Bottom Line" so that both corporations and non-profit institutions, social practices, legislation, government activities, and even our own personal life activities should be deemed "rational, productive, or efficient" not only to the extent that they maximize money, material security, power or gratification of our sensual desires but also to the extent that they maximize love and caring, kindness and generosity ethical and ecological sensitivity, enhance our capacities to see others as embodiments of the sacred and enhance our capacity to respond to the universe with awe, wonder, and radical amazement at the grandeur of Creation.
It is from that perspective that we appeal to you to fulfill the promise and the hopes you raised in the early months of your campaign, and to sharpen the distinctions between you and past politics by articulating new principles that would govern your presidency. In particular, we call upon you to (unequivocally and persistently in your public appearances and ads) call for:
*Replacing the "Strategy of Domination or Power Over Others" (that has shaped too much of American foreign policy in the past) with a new approach that gives at least equal weight to "A Strategy of Generosity and Caring for Others" (for example as manifested by the Global Marshall Plan suggested by the Network of Spiritual Progressives http://www.spiritualprogressives.org). You should not allow the public discourse to push you into having to prove who will be the most effective candidate for running the next set of wars, but instead insist strongly and make this central to your campaign that that strategy for achieving Homeland Security is seriously flawed. Effective security strategy must rely on two legs, one the strong military defense of our interests, and second on the strong commitment to ending global (and domestic) poverty, homelessness, hunger, inadequate education, inadequate health care, and repairing the global environment (please see House Res. 1078 introduced by Keith Ellison and endorsed by nineteen other Members of the House for some helpful language in this regard-it endorses our version of The Global Marshall Plan). Those who are ill-equipped to articulate and implement the Strategy of Generosity are "weak on national defense."
*Rejecting the notion of armed struggle with Iran and opposing any military blockade of Iran (universally understood as an act of war) would then give the Iranians a reason to attack, which in turn would provide the pretext for a war, either before or after the U.S. elections. You should publicly call on the Bush Administration to refrain from taking any such provocative actions that might lead to military conflict before the next Administration takes office.
*A commitment to sign a Presidential Order that forbids and criminalizes torture and the direct or indirect aiding or abetting of acts of torture on the part of the U.S. , directs the U.S. military to abandon Guantanamo prison and end the activities of the School of the Americas related to training people in South and Central America in the techniques of counter-insurgency and torture, and directs the next Attorney General to explore criminal charges against those who have violated US or international law in regard to torture.
* A commitment to make saving our global environment a top priority not only through encouraging individual and corporate environmental responsibility, but by alerting the American public to the full scientific evidence about the degree of threat to the survival of the planet that is likely unless we make major changes in the way use the resources of our planet, how we decide what products should be produced and how, and how we decide what items to consume. Tell the American people what the planet faces if the US and other countries including China don't make a huge global effort to reverse the patterns of destruction that are already endangering our planet.
* Affirming the need for an American health care system that is based on the principle that we have an obligation to care for each other, not on the need for the health care profiteers to make a good return on their investments.
*Affirming as a guiding principle for American society in the 21st century that we have an obligation to care for each other, and that this obligation requires a rethinking of many aspects of American law, American corporations, government programs, education, and persona life, and that you will use your time in office to encourage this new ethos.
* Calling on schools to actively engage in teaching students the skills of caring a.for each other b. for those stuck in poverty or homelessness or hunger c. the disabled d. our senior citizens. e. for their own health and their bodies g. for the environment. This should include teaching about "non-violent communication" and positive negotiation skills, but also teach about the various religious and secular traditions that have made "caring for others" central to their teachings, or have made awe and wonder at the grandeur of creation part of their approach to protecting the environment.
We are firmly convinced, Senator Obama, that these are ways of thinking about what is needed in America that are unlikely to succeed unless you build a strong foundation of support for them during your campaign. By articulating this kind of thinking now, you will not only strengthen the possibility of mobilizing parts of the electorate who have given up on politics altogether, but you will also be serving God in a way that is necessary at this historical moment.
Your advisors may warn you of political dangers. We think the opposite. But as we say, our calling is not to be your political practitioners, but to provide you with the kind of ethical and prophetic voices that you need to hear.
Finally, if you are elected, as we very much hope you will be, and as we ourselves will try to help make happen by building support for you, we urge you to meet with us during your presidency to hear the voices not of religious cheerleaders, but of those who dare to speak truth to power even when that power, as your own, is mostly for the good and mostly in service of the God of the universe. It is precisely because we believe in you and your strong ethical and religious commitment that we are daring to write this to you, even though we know that its impact might be to make it less likely that your advisors will ever allow us to connect with you directly once you are elected.
With respect and blessings,

Bruschetta is the perfect appetizer at Italian BBQs. Just think about it: the bread gets grilled straight on the BBQ, garlic and tomatoes are found in every Italian house (especially in the summer) and the same applies for olive oil. It takes little to make it and it's such a nice and fresh treat to get your stomach ready for the night. At least, it works for me. I've been spending at least a part of my summer holidays in Rome for three years now, visiting my boyfriend's family and friends, and every time someone hosts a BBQ night, bruschetta is always what comes first. And I love it.
I am very careful when it comes to cooking with garlic. I like to use it, but in a very moderate way. My mom is the opposite: she is a huge garlic lover and would be able to put garlic in every dish. And we're not speaking a random clove floating around in the pot: she presses it, so that it releases its taste and smell to the fullest. "Don't complain, it's healthy" is her favourite line every time I snap at her that she put too much. I will not deny that garlic is healthy, she's probably right on that, but I just don't like it when all you can taste is garlic. And I never got used to the ultimate Polish remedy for the flu: hot milk with garlic and honey. No thanks, I choose flu.
Yet, when it comes to bruschetta, I must admit that I can become a little bit like my mom. I like to taste the garlic. It has to be there: no garlic, no bruschetta. When you want garlic to play gentle in your food, you have to cut it. If you want it to release its full flavour, then you press it. On bruschetta, you press it onto your slice of bread. You rub a clove of garlic against toasted bread. Most of it will stay on the bread, but it will be the tiniest layer. And although tiny, that layer of garlic will be prefectly noticeable. What you have on bruschetta is, to me, the essence of how one should deal with garlic: you can take it at its strongest potential, but with moderation. Then it's good. (No, even with moderation I will never have milk with garlic. Take it back, mom).
So the other day for lunch I made myself bruschetta, on Swedish bread. Dark, whole grain, rye bread. I toasted it in my electric toaster, then I rubbed a clove of garlic over it. Instead of placing diced tomatoes on top of the bread and then sprinkling it with salt and pouring some olive oil on top, I put my cherry tomatoes (cut in 4) in a bowl and sprinkled them with salt and olive oil. I prefer to have my tomatoes well seasoned and no dripping oil trickling around from the bread. I also added some random pieces of mozzarella here and there, because with the leftover cherry tomatoes I made myself a bowl of tomato and mozzarella salad, so I thought that a little mozzarella would look nice on my bruschetta. Last, a little bit of origano on top of it all.
I enjoyed it greatly. Even though there was foggy cold Sweden outside of my window, this thing tasted like summer back home.

At Choice Orthodontics, we believe everyone deserves a healthy, beautiful smile. Our orthodontist, Dr. Lauren Windhorst, and her highly trained team work hard to approach treatments on an individual basis, designing comprehensive, personalized plans that perfectly meet each patient's needs. But while you might think orthodontic treatment is purely about getting a great smile, there are actually many other benefits, including relief from chronic jaw pain, or Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD).
The "Temporomandibular Joint" (more commonly referred to as the "jaw joint") assists in the basic opening and closing movements of the jaw. The jaw joint is the most complicated joint in the body, connecting the mandible (lower jaw) to the skull. It is capable of movement across four axes of motion and rotation. Unfortunately, that complexity can come with painful side effects caused by TMD.
TMD is one of the more common orthodontic problems, with around 40 million Americans suffering from it at some point in their lives. TMD can be caused by clenching/grinding, facial trauma, parafunctional habits, and misaligned teeth. Misaligned teeth can force the jaws to sit improperly and create pressure and tension points in the mouth. These points can clamp down on nerves running through the face, causing a variety of problems including:
In order to detect a TMJ problem, or prevent one from escalating, your orthodontist will need to do a full evaluation at our Saint Joseph or Gallatin, MO office. The evaluation will examine the joint tissue in the "hinge" of the jaw, the fit of the top and bottom teeth, and other issues concerning your oral and facial structure.
If you do have a mild case of TMD, over-the-counter painkillers, self-massage, and cold compresses can provide relief from pain and other symptoms. For more serious cases of TMD, your orthodontist will recommend alternate treatments. Often, we will suggest using a mouthguard to relieve teeth grinding issues. In certain circumstances, we will instruct you to use orthodontic appliances or retainers to alleviate discomfort or redirect positioning of the jaw. In more severe situations, your orthodontist may recommend a more invasive procedure like orthognathic surgery (jaw surgery).
If you'd like to learn more about TMD, or you feel you may be suffering from jaw dysfunction, we'd be happy to speak with you. Please feel free to contact us directly or request an appointment with your trusted Northwest Missouri and Northeast Kansas orthodontist online now. We look forward to working with you in our Saint Joseph or Gallatin, MO office.

In this and splash photo Travis wears a jacket and trousers by Givenchy, shorts by Alexander Wang and a durag by Rags Worldwide
Waiting in the lobby of Atlanta's ritzy Four Seasons Hotel for Travis Scott to surface, his security guard, Mike Brown, shares some insight into the tardy rapper. "He's one of my most interesting clients," Brown says. "He's a real rock star." Along with displaying classic rock-star indifference toward time and schedules, Scott has the flashy itinerary to confirm Brown's assessment. In the past few weeks, from arriving to Alexander Wang's fashion week after party via helicopter to stage-diving into a crowd of fans at PAPER's Beautiful People party, Scott's shown a taste for bold entrances and high-octane performances.
But when the rapper finally emerges, it's with considerably less fanfare. In sweatpants and a hoodie, he looks less like the rock star we've come to expect and more like the guy next door. This low-key vibe continues when Scott and his crew pile into a SUV en route to the airport. When one of Scott's friend's acts as AUX cord DJ and the rapper's autotune-laden voice thunders through the speakers on "the ends," the opener from his new album, Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight, everyone seems moved by the cinematic intro -- everyone, that is, but Scott, who seems more concerned with rummaging through his backpack in search of enough weed to roll a blunt. He's similarly nonchalant when the subject of the album's enormous success -- a debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart and 50.2 million streams during its first week -- comes up. "[I] just want to stay focused," he says modestly. "There's more shit to do, and I've got a lot more to accomplish."
Though he's only 24, the rapper, born Jacques Webster, has been working hard to achieve this kind of success for years. The son of a drummer and grandson of a music scholar who grew up in Missouri City,Texas, Scott recalls being bitten by the music bug early, but his eureka moment didn't happen until he was 17 with the release of Kid Cudi's acclaimed debut Man on the Moon:The End of Day. "I was like whoa, this is a route you can take like therapy," he recalls, comparing Cudi's sounds to an escape from reality. Under pressure from his parents to go to college, he enrolled at the University of Texas at San Antonio before transferring to the University of Texas at Austin, but says he often blew the money his parents sent him for "books and shit" on studio equipment and flights to NewYork and Los Angeles for meetings with record executives. He eventually dropped out of school to pursue music full-time and re-christened himself "Travis Scott," a moniker inspired by a favorite uncle.
In 2012, he released a track, "Lights (Love Sick)," that caught the attention of both T.I. and Kanye West; Tip's label, Grand Hustle, gave him an artist deal, while Kanye's G.O.O.D. Music offered him a production deal shortly thereafter. That same year he also signed a contract with Epic Records, who released his debut album, Rodeo, last fall and shares label credits with Grand Hustle on Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight. Since then, Scott has become one of the industry's most distinctive soundsmiths, earning production credits on Jay Z's 2013 album Magna Carta Holy Grail ("Crown"), Kanye's Yeezus ("New Slaves" and "Guilt Trip") and Rihanna's monster single "Bitch Better Have My Money." It's this last collaboration that has been one of the most talked about. After modeling alongside RiRi in a campaign for her Fenty x Puma Creepers last fall, Scott joined the pop star earlier this year on her Anti World Tour. For much of this period, the two were even rumored to be dating.
With the release of BITTSM, Scott has matured from the promising protégé rubbing shoulders with rap's elite to a full-fledged solo star. But as much as his profile and platform have grown, Scott says he still finds himself confronted with people who doubt his opinions and talent. "I feel like people don't want to trust the young idea," he laments. This theme is echoed in the title of his new album, which, he clarifies, is neither a direct reference to drug dealing nor to the R&B crooner Brian McKnight. Instead, it's a metaphor for the feeling of inhibition that comes with having limits imposed on your creativity. The phrase itself, he told Billboard, comes from a line Migos rapper Quavo spat on "Pick Up the Phone," a track the two collaborated on with Young Thug.
Though he's expressed frustration at naysayers, at the same time he possesses a willingness to listen to criticism and acknowledge what he hopes to improve. "I feel like I can always become a better writer, make better music and better beats, perform better, make better videos," he says. The conversation turns to three types of hip-hop artists: those who can spit intricate flows, those who can create catchy hooks and those who are gifted enough that they can do both. "In my mind, I think I'm both, right?" he says, his voice ending in a rising inflection, indicating that this is more of a question he's posing than a statement of ability. He's more affirmative when talking about one of his biggest sources of inspiration, Kid Cudi. "He was like the guy that could rap, make a hook, and make a beat, and do a video and show you the life," Scott says of his hip-hop idol. "That's what I strive to be."

BITTSM feels like he's on the right track. From the woozy, psychedelic trip of "sdp interlude" to the grungy dancehall-inspired "guidance" to the slick "first take," the album is dark, intoxicating and idiosyncratic. It sounds like the future. And the one person he's wanted acceptance from his whole career, Kid Cudi, shows up for him not once but twice (he appears on "through the late night" and "way back"). Recent reports say Cudi has returned the favor by tapping Scott to appear on his forthcoming album, Passion, Pain & Demon Slayin'. BITTSM also features artists like Bryson Tiller, The Weeknd, Kendrick Lamar and André 3000. When discussing these last two collaborators in particular, Scott isn't shy about offering up his appreciation. "I look at them as the best artists, so for them to come to my world and rap with me is crazy," he says. He has that same sense of appreciation and excitement when discussing an upcoming fashion collaboration with an as-yet-unrevealed brand, which he says may come out in February."I just saw the samples -- fucking crazy," he gushes. "I'm happy that this company took a chance with me." The collab is the latest stamp of approval from the fashion world; after making his runway debut in 2014 modeling for Mark McNairy at the designer's Spring/Summer 2015 show, the rapper's been in an Alexander Wang campaign and showed off Riccardo Tisci's NikeLab collection in a Vogue editorial, among other high-profile opportunities.
Along with these music and fashion projects, he has a short film coming out soon that will take fans on a journey through the making of BITTSM. Most recently, he dropped a documentary, La Flame, a fly-on-the-wall visual that gives a glimpse into a never-ending series of concerts, recording sessions and screaming fans. It's a whirlwind lifestyle, and the frenetic pace won't be slowing anytime soon.
The SUV pulls up to a gate on the outskirts of the airport, where Scott and Co. will catch a private jet to Houston, where he'll be making a surprise appearance at Kanye's latest stop on his Saint Pablo Tour. Amidst all of this, Scott pauses to reflect, and once again we get a glimpse of the humility underneath the rock-star confidence. Looking ahead to the future, Scott muses on the challenges he'll yet encounter: "Sometimes shit crosses your path to try to throw you off balance. I pray I know how to avoid that."

As a recent convert to rotaries - an IP2 - I would be grateful for any views on oil. Having had a long term interest in rotaries I know that Shell Rotella was the recommended oil but is no longer available. Silkolene Classic 2T pre-mix synthetic 2 stroke oil seems to now be the preferred replacement, though I also read somewhere that synthetic oils must not be used in rotaries.
Having trawled through various oil suppliersâ websites, there is at least one alternative to Rotella, namely Morris Ring Free DD 40 which appears to be exactly what Rotella was - low ash engine oil with detergent designed for use in 2-stroke diesels and specifically recommended for Detroit Diesels. It is available in 25 litre drums at well under half the equivalent price of Silkolene.
Has anyone experience of using this Morris oil in their rotary?
And does anyone know if the Rotary Owners Club is still going? There are current topics being discussed on the forum which Iâve tried to join a number of times but nothing happens.
We are approaching Christm…
We are approaching Christmas and it is good to see that there is no shortage of chestnuts.
I can't help with the Morris equivalent to Rotella as probably I have a sufficient supply of the Shell product to outlive either me or the IP2.
Richard Negus advised the use of Silkolene Comp 2 Premix and it must work as the machine using it has done a good few miles without blowing up (yet). This oil too is no longer available but Fuchs Lubricants told me that Silkolene Classic 2T Premix is now the current product replacing the former one. I have not tried it yet as my Comp 2 supply is still OK for a while.
I have been around too long to know better than to engage in web-based oil debates but low ash oil for diesel engines looks to be in the right area. I am sure somebody will be on here very soon telling you more and if you are very lucky, they might actually own a rotary and have used some of the products being discussed.
[was it you that once had a very striking (bright yellow?) Commando that appeared in Roadholder?]
I work in an industry that…
I work in an industry that use Detroit Diesel 2 stroke generator engines, our engines use Shell Rotella DD+40, this oil is still available in bulk and 208 litre drums, not very biker friendly I know.
In 2014 I used up my stash of Rotella and "found" a supply of Castrol Tection DD40, which is also designed for Detroit Diesel 2 stroke engines, I checked the Tection data sheet found that it compared with Rotella and since then I have been using Castrol Tection DD40 in my Commander, I have not seen the Tection oil in anything other than 25 litre drums but to be honest have not had to look, having covered many thousands of miles I have not had any issues with excessive carbon build up, so as far as I am concerned the Castrol Tection oil is OK.
Any oil specifically designed for use in Detroit Diesel 2 stoke engines engines and is low ash is good to use, my advice would be to always compare the new oil data sheet with Rotella, as long as they compare the oil should be OK.
Using an oil designed for use in heavy industry or marine applications is unlikely to be sold in small quantities hence why Rotella is only available in large quantities, if this is a problem for you then you should look for an oil that you can buy off the shelf like the oil recommended by Richard Negus.
When switching oil manufacturers and/or grades on our ships I always check that the new oil is compatible and miscible with the old oil, you do not say what you currently use, in any case make sure that either all of the old oil is removed from the bikes tank and system or check that the new oil is OK to mix with the old.
I have done 50,000 miles o…
I have done 50,000 miles on my Commander without an engine rebuild mainly on Rotella. The exception has been when in Spain where you can quite readily buy an equivalent. I get my Rotella from David Cameron, Secretary of the Rotary Owners Club who has purchased a large drum on behalf of members. I know that other members use alternative equivalent low ash straight 40 oils without any problems.
The semi synthetic Silkolene Classic 2T oil is probably better if the bike is only used occasionally as it will stick better to the internals and is therefore more likely to leave a residue when left for a period of time.
Thank you all for your inp…
Thank you all for your input. The bike is currently running on Rotella and I was given about 3 or 4 litres when I bought it, so once that starts running out I'll decide what to top it up with. I plan to ride the bike from Spring until the Autumn but not through Winter, so I like the thought of Silkolene coating the internals for the Winter lay up.

Last weekend I was scrolling through photos on Instagram when I came across this photo in Jillian Harris' feed (if you aren't already following Jillian on social media, stop reading and go do that right now!), and immediately had an aha moment!
So while sipping my coffee and still in my pjs, I got to moving Grandma's china set from a corner cabinet in our kitchen to the glass front cabinets above the new workspace.
My original plan was to have only white dishes in these cabinets and I moved ahead with that plan, but quickly realized that it just wasn't going to work for me. Of course, I want our home to look great when it comes to the decorating, but I also want it to feel cozy and comfy. So then I started to add tea sets and loved the pop of colour. That addition of Grandma's china set was exactly what these cabinets needed.
I'm just such a huge fan of inherited pieces, pieces that tell a story and that have been passed down from family members.
We have yet to replace the shelves with glass ones and I still need to fill the holes, but so far I'm thrilled with how this space is coming together!

The Scout Handbook Through the Years
More than 36 million copies of The Boy Scout Handbook have
been printed since the first edition in 1910, which included an
illustration of a Boy Scout helping an elderly woman cross a street.
One requirement to become a First Class Scout at the time: be able to
stop a runaway horse. Later editions of the manual were also
representative of their times, as the following examples
|Merit badges emphasize World War II-era interests, such as airplane structure, signaling, and seamanship. Advertisements in the back of the manual promote Remington and Winchester rifles for achieving a marksmanship merit badge. Scouts were advised to seek advice on sexual matters from "wise, clean, strong men."
|Multiculturalism abounds in drawings. Text discusses pollution, conservation, and how to "Go Metric." Merit badges include atomic energy, space exploration, and computers: "Show how your name and address would be punched on a card.
|The new "Prepared for Life" section includes warnings on safe Internet use and sexual responsibility: "AIDS and other diseases spread by sexual contact can ruin your life and that of others.'' Elective merit badges include cinematography, disabilities awareness, and snow sports.

Today's game
My apologies that no lineup was posted yesterday. I'm actually not in Anaheim this weekend, so getting it up there in a timely fashion probably won't happen much in the next day or so. But, since we won last night when I wasn't there, maybe I should stay away for a little while anyway!
We already know that Mark Hendrickson and Toby Hall will both be starting today from Ken Gurnick's latest article. Beyond that, hopefully you guys can live with Gameday this weekend, which posts the lineup about an hour early.
41 Comments
Sounds like Hall is approaching the team change with a great attitude, and I welcome both players to the Dodgers. Let's hope that Tampa Bay doesn't stick us on this trade the same way they managed earlier with Baez and Carter, although let's hope that Baez may turn our all right yet. Looking forward to seeing Hendrickson in action in the Dodger Blue. LET'S SWEEP THIS SERIES!!!
Mark has an outstanding breaking ball, if he can spot his heater he might do very well for us. Let's go for 2 in a row, baby!! Dodgers own LA, not the Anahaeim Angels of Los Angeles.
Responding to Fisher928 yesterday re:Jeff Weaver.
No doubt about it, Weaver had meltdowns. I haven't forgotten that. It seems at times Jim Tracy left him too long when things started to slide and he is not a number 1 starter to begin with. I think that most of the respondents to this blog love the fram system and want to protect it. That's one reason why Weaver might be a reasonable option. The other is relative. Relative to Tomko, Perez, perhaps Billingsley, Weaver is not so bad. The last two years he has pitched 444 innings never missing a start, has won 27 games, has an ERA around 4.00, has 3 complete games and two shutouts and batted around .220. If his ERA was about 3.75 we would think the stats were quite good. He would have had more wins with better run support. Seems worth a try. Tried Seo, Tomko and kept Perez. Why not Weaver? It's not a perfect solution but neither is trading the farm even for a hot rookie pitcher who has to earn his spurs for a couple of years to be considered a number 1-2 starter.
Lets make it 5 in a row against this Last Place Team! I was there Last night Way to represent Dodger fans we were the loudest and happiest go Blue get on a winning streak!!!!!!!!!!
Just checking on 2006 Dodger draft picks. Twelve among the first 24 selections are on rosters of Columbus or Gulf Coast Dodgers. That includes Kershaw, Mattingly and Morris. D'Alessio apparently is going back to college (#10). Waiting to see if Kyle Orr (top Canadian selection) and Alex White sign. Ethier loves to hit against the Angels. Hope he is in today's lineup. Keep up the cheering for us at the games Diehardblue.
Josh. Can find lineup as you say one hour before if we want. Appreciate your faithfulness in posting lineups, offering tidbits and sites to find other articles about the Dodgers. A good number of posts lately so quite a few faithful Dodger fans are reading the posts daily. Thanks again for initiating this blog and maintaining it.
well based on his first three innings, I would say hendrickson is not going to be the answer. I know its soon but all of his pitches seem too straight and he does not look like he is a pitcher who can overpower a hitter.
Not a good start. Errors didn't help but just not getting guys out. Comeback time needed today. Hopefully get to Escobar around 5-7 innings.
there not really doin good in the clutch category today.a 9th inning rally would be awesome. COME ON DODGERS!!
What's the deal with Drew? He's rolling everything over, not hitting at all. Yet he still hits cleanup….why? As much as I would love to pick up a number 1 starter, I wouldn't mind seeing us grab a guy to put in that 4 hole. But, we all know that's not possible, we don't want to "mortage" the farm. Lol.
And how about a new 3rd base coach too, the guy has no clue. We can package him and Odalis for John Shelby.
Just my opinion and I know a lot of you will disagree with me , but I think we were better with Aybar as a third baseman. Ceasar is a better defender and should be a late inning replacement , but this team was stronger with Aybar starting. He 's a much better hitter and has some power. wich Ceasar dosn't have.
Ugly game, I just hate seeing the Angels beat us, but I don't think you can blame it all on Hendrickson. The errors killed us. I wasn't impressed with Hall either but we need to give these guys some time to fit in. I would agree moving Drew he's not producing the way a #4 should be. I also think it's time to send Kemp down and bring back Aybar. The kid is pressing and it shows both in the field and at the plate. We need to give him some time to develop in Las Vegas !! I'd like to see Ethier in the # 4 with Martin #5 then Drew !! I kind of hope they take Weaver, it makes more sense then any trade involving one of our kids !!
Lets get it done tomorrow guys !!
Go Dodgers !!
I'd think of this as Izturis' spring training, and remind you that Kent and Furcal didn't do much better than hit .200 when they started the season, and that Nomar hit the low .200 range in ST.
Incidentally, Furcal is 14-43 since Izturis returned. This is largely related to his continued recovery from nagging injuries, but it certainly helps that he's got less pressure on him defensively.
Good to know your computer's not broken.
yeah it would be cool to see ethier bat fourth just to see how he would produce.
In responce to Euhlman you are completly correct in how he pictched and the way Tracy handled it. Sooo many Times I was screaming at the TV or Radio to Lift him because we HAD the Bullpen to save it. another issue and reason other then the High era not to pick him up he had his chance and a good Offer to stay and totally snubbed the Dodgers. I feel that he is self centered and money grubbing in the same way as Perez and has no place on a Quality team. In reponse and defence to Izzy he plays the field like nobody else Furcal is Markedly Better with him at third and His hitting will come back around but feel everyone should be doing more of the little things to produce runs need some more sacrifice attempts put the opps on the line to make the great plays.I'm Totally with the 3rd base coach not looking like he knows his job.
Before I looked at the thoughts for today I was thinking the same thing about our cleanup area needing a shakeup. They just are not producing the numbers that they are capable of and everyone seems to be outta sync. I also agree that Kemp as well as he did coming up now has the scouts on him and really needs glove work and more time to work on his stroke. Bottom Line is that we still need a Top of the line starter and a good reliever. Top Players are:
They Do a great job
Players that are ok but need to step it up are:
Izzy(obp hitting)
Furcal(Hit for avg and fielding)
Drew (More RBI and power)
Kent(Defence and Run production)
Bullpen(Spot better and throw strikes)
Other Starters Get deeper quit walking sooo many
Phone Co Block all calls to or from Tampa bay from Neds Phones.
If we are to get real and have a real team to root for we need real trades that are agressive and productive otherwise we are going to be a .500 team who gets swept by great teams and kills bad teams.Weaver is just another throw away pitcher that we had limited production from we need another Great pitcher.
Why not try Nomar in the cleanup slot and either put Ethier in #3 and Drew in #6 or switch Drew to #3. You need some power in #4, and Drew just does not provide it right now.
Hendrickson and Hall are both not only stiffs, but old, expensive stiffs.
I did not like this move at all when I saw it, now I hate it. Don't forget that Tampa Bay still gets "A Player to be named". What a ripoff for us. Ned needs to stop making deals w/Tampa.
I know we have enough talent to trade for some1 like Willis or Maddux. Lets do it Ned. Stop beatin around the bush and gettin sheIsted by other GMs.
As far as the lineup goes. We don't need 3 leadoff hitters in the lineup. Furcal, Lofton, and Izzy. I agree that Aybar made this team better offensivly. But Cesar provides much better defense.
As for JD Drew, he will come around. He isn't seeing the pitches very well as of late. He usually draws a lot of walks and waits for good pitches to hit. But lately he has been swinging at bad pitches. Jeff Kent isn't his old self either. He really isn't connecting well on any pitches.
The deal Ned made for Eithier is looking better and better though. I really like this kid. I would not oppose moving him up to #4 or #5. But lets see if Drew and/or Kent start hitting.
is it me or why in the world was sele brought in RELIEF? when did this happen, and why follow him with kuo, (the human walk machine), with bases lodaded?!? why not broxton?
approaching the half way mark, and its still hard to figure this team. they are playing .500 ball, but appear to have the talent to be much better.
the relief pitching has been a major disappointment, and lost in all the o.perez flap is just how poorly baez has been. not only the several blown saves, but he just seems to be lost – i.e. he is not a closer and shakey, at best, as a set up man.
agree (nancy) drew has to vacate the four hole. i see the logic of going right/left/right with drew, kent and ethier, but why
not move kent up to the four hole.
also, is just me, or does the game usually seem over now when the dodgers fall behind by 4+ runs. i mean, the team just doesn't seem to have any fight lately to battle back from early deficits.
Baez is a strange case, considering he had 40+ saves for a team that only won 65. My guess is he expected to close here, especially if Gagne wasn't healthy, but he didn't consider Mr. Saito. Carter was considered a very good reliever, what happened to him?
Drew is still batting 4, for the same reason Furcal is hitting leadoff at SS. Ego. And Grady doesn't want to hurt theirs, but in the process hurting the team. 3-4-5=Nomar,Kent,Drew since moving JD is surely not going to happen. Our leading power hitter is Nomar who missed a month, and although he's hitting for average, 10 homers is nothing to get excited about. That say's alot about our other hitters, mostly the veteran one's.
The game IS over when we fall behind by more than a couple. And ususally it results in us giving up and getting blown out. Notice the majority of our losses are not close at all, kind of a disturbing trend.
Weaver would be interesting back here, he's not a 1 but he could help the backend of our rotation for sure. Maybe we outta start looking at Honeycutt as one of the possible problems. I notice Russ always sets up low for the fastball, however I believe when Brad, Chad or any of our pitchers with that 12-6 curve are in we should try a few more heaters above the strike zone. That pitch is very hard to lay off, especially when you've got 2 strikes and u already have seen a good curve.
Chad goes today, let's see if he figures it out at all. Need's to finish guys off, and obviously throw strikes. Also Jae throws 4 TB today and I'm gonna watch it, I hope he throw's a no-no.
Does anyone miss the lineups as much as me??!!!!
Lineup for the Sunday game (from Gameday):
Furcal – SS
Lofton – DH
Nomar – 1B
Drew – RF
Kemp – CF
Ethier – LF
Martinez – 2B
Martin – C
Izturis – 3B
i think ethier should be batting 5th and kemp batting 6th since ethiers swinging a hotter bat.
my version of a shakeup.
Go Dodgers!
Yeah good lineup dreed exept drew doesnt need to be 2nd with how hes been swingin the bat lately. Other than that i tottaly agree with it.
Angel's score 1st run on a boot by Drew, then Cabrera flat out takes advantage of the rookie and steals home. Chad didn't even get a throw off. Other than that he's pounding the strike zone, but he need's help behind him, and at the plate. 2-0….can we muster a comeback? 2 runs is a big deficit to make up, with the way we r swingin the lumber.
I really don't understand Grady's style of managing, with another of our key players (Kent) having a day of rest, even though the DH slot is available. I don't see Guerrero or any other significant Angel's player getting Sunday off. Is this how you manage multi-million dollar players? What happened to the days of Ernie Banks, when you played TWO on a Sunday. Oh, but then I forgot what a "players' manager" Grady is.
This is lackluster, sloppy, embarrassment of game, series and team. Very disappointed in this team. There is no urgency, no emotion and seemingly no fight in this team- I dont really see how that can be. Im starting to wonder if Gradys "whatever" attitude is rubbing off on the team, its very hard to root for them at this point.
Yes, this is a very sad game. I believe we have the best rookies, at least Ethier and Martin, but you see what a crafty veteran pitcher can do with them at this stage. I personally think that now that Izturis is back we should trade Furcal, and maybe throw in Drew, for a quality first rate pitcher. Today even Lackey looks like he might be a good choice. Maybe we can also get Scoscia in a swap with Grady. I too don't see any inspirational quality in this Grady guy. Nobody seems to get fired up on this team. It may be no wonder that other teams were not reaching to make him a manager since his Red Sox days. Aybar could come back to play third, and Lofton looks like he would do better in the leadoff slot.
Nothing bothers Grady, even loosing. Team really doesnt seem to care- its disgusting.
hopefully this is just a rough spot, but we still need to make a move to improve this club. We have so many good young players that others covet, trading 1 or 2 wouldn't be mortgaging the farm. We r beating a dead horse, but we need a spark. Perhaps Repko's attitude and fire will help raise the spirits of the ballcub and it's fan base. We are too often making average pitchers look like cy young candidates. Our team should be out front of this division, yet we are right in the pack with the Rockies, D-Backs, and Giants. Makes little sense.
It's hard to imagine our record is very similar to last year at this time, and we have much better health and talent these days. Hmmm…… Go Dodgers.
tough game for our rookies especially ethier.I hope he gets to start or even play in the next 2 or 3 games the way that grady plays him. I personally think he deserves way more playin time than kemp.
Yea Kemp is not ready, he need's to be sent down pronto and replaced with Aybar.
If i were gm i would send down Kemp bring up Aybar when Ledee or Repko come off the DL. Put Izzy back at short and trade furcal for a good quality pitcher so Penny and Lowe can have some of that always have to win pressure taken off of them.
Nomar deserves to be an all-star, I know we will all do our part, but I bet New Yorkers will stuff the box like usual. Expect to see Wagner, but hope for Nomar(and vote)!!!!
I thought Penny's tantrum was very bush league, but without him having his finest year, we'd be in last place. Congrats Brad, represent us well.
Another runner sent home by Donnelly today, only to be out by 10 ft. With us struggling to score, we can't afford blunders like that.
Chad pitched alot better today, still too many walks, but alot more strikes kept that pitch count decent.
Bobby Abreu would look great in a Dodger uni, but that's just my opinion. So would Zito for that matter. It's time to pony up a couple youngsters, it will take them, to pull off a useful trade.
LoDuca is an all-star again,congrats r in order…enjoy it now, Russ will be there next year and for many to come.
I'm going to be harsh here and say part of the reason we can't trade the farm is that's all we've got. We haven't had a third baseman since Beltre left, and we won't until Laroche hits the bigs, and that's not even certain. We have outfielders for sure, but there's a hole at the hot corner. Izturis is adequate as a shortstop, but his offense is not what is necessary for a third baseman.
I am going to make a plea to Ned Colletti to be bold, and consider the needs and capabilities of the club. Therefore, I'll be bold and suggest the following:
1) Trade JD Drew for Adrian Beltre. The Mariners could use a CF and they don't care much for Beltre in Seattle.
2) After blocking him, trade Andy Laroche for a quality starting pitcher, not a bad pitcher that's having a good year. We should be setting our sights on Scott Kazmir or Felix Hernandez.
We will not get a good starter for someone useless. But we are loaded with outfielders to the point where we don't need JD Drew.
We have needed Adrian Beltre, however, since Jose Valentin lost a ball in the chalk.
There is nothing wrong with throwing in Furcal if it helps acquire an ace starter, although we'd have to pay someone else his salary.
again with resting a veteran, this time kent?!? i would like to know how many times nomar, drew and kent have actually played together. geez, i know they are veterans but why couldn't kent bat at least, esp since is your last chance with a dh.
and why not sit kemp against the righthander and bat cruz. kemp is pressing a bit and cruz is no superstar, but he is a switchhitter and probably had seen lackey
and why is it a national league team like the dodgers do so horribly in AL parks, even with an added bat?
this team is really, really tough to watch right now. don't know who the team leader is, i.e the voice or soul of the club, but its time to grab this team by the throat and wake it up!
just watched a-rod hit a grand slam against the mets and lo duca got in his face as he crossed the plate…
we need a little fire or spark like that from someone. the rookies can't do it. drew is a non-personality, furcal is too new and struggling. does that leave kent or lofton to shake this team up?

Let's start with the rosy situation coming from Fernando Torres , chief economist at IPmetrics, retained by Mattocks' side.
In his submitted report ( study here ), he appears at
points like Television ratings and ancillary revenue from a third-party web site called Sulia.com that pays for referrals.
Maybe the most intriguing (and of course, controversial) aspect of his report comes when he attempts to figure out what The Game 's Facebook
page would sell for if it was in fact for sale. facebook likes hack 2014

I opened this to get the final score in today's game and I got everything but. . . .very disappointed.
