CASE Study 2nd Anniversary Blog Hop... click HERE
Cloud 9 Blog Hop... click HERE
Or simply scroll down. Thanks, and apologies for "spamming" your Blog Readers, folks :)
It's new release time at Flourishes blog and I can tell from the sneak peeks that it's going to be one of my favourite ever releases to date. The floral bouquets are simply A-MAH-ZING!
I wanted to take part in the release challenges before the time runs out, and for now it seems that I will miss one of them, which is also right up my alley. Not to worry... "Country Road" challenge - here I come!!
We are supposed to pick a photo of our countryside and create something inspired by it. Here's my photo...
What you see there is the Hanging Rock. As the one from the "Picnic at Hanging Rock" book/movie. It's half an hour drive from where we live, it's also a good example of how the hills around our place look like. It's an enchanting sight :)
I'm pretty sure you can see the course my inspiration took. I stuck to the vertical layout of yellow grass fields, green stripe of shrubbery, light brown rock and blue sky. Because of the way the rich yellows dominate the picture, I couldn't think of a better stamp to use than Sunflowers.
I hope you likey :)
Tomorrow brings two more posts, already scheduled nicely, and that's only if I don't chose to have any more stamping on Saturday... ermagherd!! You're gonna hate me for this week :P

Lance Scranton: The mirror that reflects
February 19, 2013
Many artists, writers and philosophers began the 20th century thinking that traditional methods of viewing the world were outdated and in need of a contemporary fix.
One such movement that flourished in the early 1900s and continued through the 1950s was cubism. Cubism was an attempt to elicit an understanding of the fourth dimension (time) by the artistic representation of multiple views of an object.
Picasso is the most identifiable cubist, but the movement to expand on the length, width and depth of our understanding of reality was made possible by the Renaissance artists whose humanist tendencies were made famous by artists such as Leonardo da Vinci.
Literature was held in such esteem during the Renaissance period that moral philosophy, poetry, grammar, history and rhetoric were considered the "five humanities" that would assert the "genius of man." These movements were in response to traditions that didn't seem to answer the questions that were being asked by great thinkers of the time.
History points to our difficulty with movements that become bogged down in excessive contrivances and refuse to adapt to a changing world and culture. When an idea gets old, it becomes traditional, with little regard for its merits.
Recommended Stories For You
In the latest James Bond movie, 007 discovers that going back to some of the more traditional strategies of dealing with sophisticated, diabolical, arch-criminals provides a definite tactical advantage.
Tradition has merits that long outserve the perceived advantages of the latest, greatest movement in art, writing, philosophy or technology. Tradition is the mirror that reflects the enduring values of family, culture and country.
Every advance we make technologically, culturally, as writers, philosophers or scientists, owes much to the stability of tradition and the flexibility of the old adapting to provide stability and support for the new.
Anyway, that's what I teach.

What To Do With Brad Lidge
Brad Lidge blew his 9th save of the season Tuesday night against the Pirates, in a game that the Phillies really should have won. With the Phillies large lead in the NL East, the actual loss doesn't hurt as much as it does to see Brad Lidge blow another save, and continue to not be able to get batters out. The Phillies went to the 9th down 1 run, and managed to get 2 across off of Pirates closer Matt Capps. For Capps, that was his 4th blown save, to go along with his now 3-7 record, and 6.38 ERA. Those numbers look horrible, but aren't even close to the horrible numbers of Brad Lidge - 9 blown saves, 0-6 record (record isn't really big deal for a closer), 7.33 ERA.
Lidge threw 6 pitches last night, allowed 2 singles, a home run, and threw a wild pitch. Lidge didn't record any outs, and gave up 3 earned runs. If Lidge had to continue pitching until he got 3 outs, he still might be pitching right now. Not only do I think that Brad Lidge had nothing on those pitches, he admitted this after the game, saying that he struggles when he goes out 4 games in a row. In a way, this in Manuel's fault for sending him out there, but Manuel probably wanted to send Lidge out to get some confidence against a crappy Pirates lineup that he should be able to mow down even if he threw 50 days in a row. But he couldn't. And this is officially getting to be ridiculous. Lidge has been the worst closer in baseball this season, and it isn't even close. Late August isn't the time when we can still continue to wait for Lidge to find his stuff, or figure it out in his head, or whatever is going on with him.
These games are going to matter in the playoffs. Again, we can get away with it now with such a big lead, but we won't be able to get away with it come playoff time. We actually have to win 1-run games in the playoffs, and since it is the playoffs, there probably will be many close games we are going to have to hold onto.
I will support whatever decision Manuel makes, but he has to at least do something. If you want to continue to run Lidge out there, then fine, but give him some 1 out saves. If a lefty is starting the inning, start the 9th with Eyre, or Romero when he comes back. Even if a righty is starting, send out Madson, or Park, or Myers when he comes back to start the inning. Manuel could also send Lidge to the 15 day DL if he thinks Lidge needs to re-focus and almost start over when he comes back. Madson or Park could close while Lidge is out, and even possibly Myers if he shows his stuff is nasty when he comes back. Or you could completely demote Lidge, and make Madson, Park, or Myers the closer. This is also risky since it is so close to the end of the season, and a lot of pressure filled games will be coming up. What Manuel will probably do, and what he says he is going to do is continue to ride Lidge out until the end, hoping to have another happy ending to the season like last year.
Let's just hope this doesn't turn into another Mitch Williams incident.
Speaking of Mitch Williams, as if I wasn't mad enough after watching Lidge blow the game, I have to watch Phillies Post Game Live, and listen to Mitch Williams of all people let us all know what Lidge is doing wrong, and what he can do to correct that. Yeah, Mitch is exactly who I want to hear from in this situation... go back to the MLB Network.
7 comments:
Good post, though I'd be reluctant to give Madson another shot at closer. Been there, done that, and it didn't exactly work out so well. But at this point of Lidge's continuing and utter futility, the moves you suggest might indeed be the only options available. The guy clearly has no business taking up space on a major league roster this year. This may a continuation of his puzzling MO -- pitch lights out one season only to look like he's never even seen a ball the next. But in the meantime, the Phils are at the point of diminishing returns with this guy--they simply can't afford to keep trotting him out as we get closer and closer to the "second season."
Now in regard to the comments about Mitch Williams, I couldn't agree more. Since when did this loser become the darling of the local media? I suppose since he did a stint with WIP's Chief Morning Clown Cataldi, yukking it up about his colossal failures under pressure, we're all supposed to forgive his history of utter incompetence and embrace his new-found wit and wisdom. Sorry, Mitch, but this ain't St. Louis, San Diego, or one of those other bastions of wimpy, brain-dead, robotic "fans." We're the real deal, and our opinion about you doesn't change with the seasons -- once a bum, always a bum! This guy should be banned from every media station and outlet within a 50 mile radius of Philly. So just crawl back to your little hole in the wall at the MLB Network, Mitch -- no true Philly fan really gives a rat's ass what you think about anything!
- August 26, 2009 at 3:08 PM
I don't know why everyone is so down on Madson. I mean if Vick can get a 2nd chance, can't Madson, come on. In all seriousness, I know Madson didn't work out the first time, but that doesn't mean he can't do it, or doesn't deserve to get another chance at closer, because right now, he has the best stuff in the bullpen, Lidge included. I feel like you keep Lidge out there until the end of the regular season, and if he is still sucking, you go with whatever bullpen member is hot, be it Madson, Park, or Myers.
As far as Mitch Williams goes, couldn't agree more, what a jackass he is.

I think Mitch Williams is the perfect person to understand what is going on.
- August 26, 2009 at 10:38 PM
Well now, Mr. Madson had his "second chance" last night and succeeded spectacularly in raising his blown saves total to 5. I get that the Fightin's don't exactly have much in the way of alternative options right now, but Madson's appearances in late innings are not exactly reducing the incidence of panic attacks among the fan base (and probably among teammates, as well)...
As for Mr. Robinson's insight, the key difference between Lidge & Williams is that the former actually has a history of success, and quite brilliant success last season. Overall, Lidge has admittedly had a somewhat erratic career, but Williams was simply an overrated loser year after year. The idea that Mitch's failures make him the "perfect person" to understand what Lidge is experiencing is akin to saying that a 12-handicap golf hacker would be the perfect person to give advice to a PGA touring professional in the midst of a slump. While I'm certainly available to help out Adam Scott or Phil Mickelson, I'm not thinking they'll be calling me anytime soon...

First, I would like to know in what world T-Bone thinks he is a 12 handicap. Second, I believe the bullpen should be as follows; Eyre/Walker in the 7th(Durbin will replace Walker when and if he is healthy), Madson in the eighth alternating with Romero, lefty, righty(I don't think Madson has the killer mentality to be a closer, he is a way better setup man), and Brett Myers as our closer. I know he isn't available yet, but he is the only one that has done it before.
I wouldn't mind trying C.H. Park closing. He has been lights out since joining the "Pen". Moyer will be used in long relief. I should be the damn manager.
Lidge is not himself, and shouldn't be treated as such. The guy was a phenom last year, and he sucks this year, plain and simple. What do you do when a guy starts sucking in baseball... let's take the example from the Red Sox. John Smoltz is a hall of fame pitcher, enough said, but he had an ERA bordering 7 and couldn't get hitters out. The only choice they had was to designate him for assignment. Maybe it is too early for the Phillies to do that... but something has to be done.
- August 27, 2009 at 7:19 PM
I think from now to the end of the season, the closing job is open to everyone in the bullpen. Who ever has the best September, should have a shot at the closer role in the playoffs.
Oh and fuck Mitch Williams, Mitch Williams is a CUNT!!!
- August 27, 2009 at 9:27 PM
Regarding C-Money's typically snide and cynical swipe at my handicap, I would refer him to the concept of poetic license, defined as "The liberty taken by a writer in deviating from conventional fact to achieve a desired effect." The purpose of my comment was clearly not to represent the state of my golf game (which would be irrelevant to the topic), but to highlight the deficiency in geoffrobinson's assertion that Mitch Williams would be "the perfect person to understand what is going on" with Lidge. I would only add, however, that it's quite interesting how C-Money's best golf rounds seem to be posted when he's visiting in-laws in far away Michigan, safely cloistered from disinterested witnesses.
However, in all fairness, I must also give Mr. Money deserved props for his bullpen insights. The moves he suggests might indeed be the best options available right now. Good work on that part of your post!

From the time he was nearly old enough to stand up straight and put one foot in front of the other, Max Francis has played tennis.
Francis recalls the neighborhood tennis court near his West Barnstable home where he used to tag after the other kids with a miniature racquet in his hand. Later, he trained at the Mid-Cape Athletic Club "with other kids who were very good and we just got each other better," he recalled.
According to his Barnstable tennis coach, Mike Sarney, it seems as though Francis has been banging around the courts forever.
"His dad (Steve Francis) used to be the athletic director at Barnstable," Sarney recalled, "so as long as I can remember (Max) has been around, even before he was at the high school."
Getting his start at Barnstable as an eighth grader on the varsity team, he was third singles for his first three years on a very talented Red Raiders squad.
Last year he rose up to second singles (behind Tyler Shibles) and this year will be the team's number one player.
"Max is probably one of the top five players in the state, maybe even higher," said Sarney. "Tennis is a lot about heart, practice and playing, and he has all of that. He's loved the sport since he's been a little kid; it's all he has done. That's the only way you can be the top, top-type player."
As Francis looks back, the highlight of his career to date has been helping his Barnstable team to the 2015 Division 1 state championship.
"The goal was always to win the state championship and (my) sophomore year we finally did it," he said.
In fact, Francis was not just a member of that team, he was right in the thick of things, notching the clinching points in the South Sectional final, the state semifinal and then in the state championship match with Westboro.
Going into his senior season, Francis has a total of 84 victories and is chasing the school's all-time record of 98, set by last year's graduate Donnie Brodd.
"Setting the record at 99, then getting to 100 would be pretty cool for Max," said coach Sarney.
While Francis would like to sit atop the all-time victory list, there's nothing quite like the feeling of capturing the state championship that he felt as a sophomore.
"I need to win 15 matches this year to break the record and I hope to do that," said Francis. "But team comes first. I just want to make sure we win our matches and then we'll let things fall in where they may."

The man-in-the-middle attack (MITM) or Janus attack is a form of active eavesdropping in which the
PGP can be used to send messages confidentially. For this, PGP combines symmetric-key encryption and public-key encryption. The message is encrypted using a symmetric encryption algorithm, which requires a symmetric key. Each symmetric key is used only once and is also called a session key. The session key is protected by encrypting it with the receiver's public key, therefore ensuring that only the receiver can decrypt the session key. The encrypted message and encrypted session key are sent to the receiver.
Early PGP software was pretty good until MIT bought the license, worked the software under a program funded by the National Security Agency and sold it to the public with a back door. A back door in cryptospeak is an engineered solution in the algorithm that will allow a third party to crack the cypher and thus, read your mail. The FBI and other federal law enforcement jumped on this MITM solution in the mid-1990's. Possibly as early as 1995 according to EPIC (see link below).
This is now news because the FBI's use of Stingray, which facilitates a government-initiated MITM attack, is going to court. (EPIC Lawsuit) In the case, which you can read for yourself at the Electronic Privacy Information Center's website.
The technology took quite a bit longer to reach Mexico, though it has been in use for at least the past three years. It will never be illegal for the government to use in Mexico, but explains why nobody is talking on cell phones.

A local band is reuniting Friday, April 4, at Amos' Southend music club.
Livalie formed in 2006. The six-member band, all Lake Wylie- and Clover-area natives, grew up together and bonded through their love of music.
"We were all best friends with a huge passion for music, so forming a band was a great way for us to satisfy our creative desires, and have a blast along the way," said Patrick Gerasia, band drummer who works as a professional percussionist and instructor.
They put out an album, "A Perfect Compromise," selling about 1,500 copies. After two years, they disbanded.

"As time went on, it became increasingly difficult for all of us to be on the same page as pressures of college, careers, and life choices increased," Gerasia said.
Three members – Gerasia and Drew Cyphers and Paul Wright – created Fusebox Poet, which is disbanding this year, saying farewell at Friday's show.
"A few of us saw the potential in our writing/playing and wanted to take it to another level," said vocalist Cyphers, who is an audio engineer and owner of Outlier Studios in Clover.
Fusebox recorded two full-length albums, opening for 20 national artists and playing throughout the East Coast.
"Livalie was a huge part of their musical influence in regards to writing and style," said guitarist Sean Cody, who also is a film composer. "They even put two songs on their first album that were originally Livalie tunes."
When members of Fusebox Poet decided to disband, it sparked the idea for a joint reunion/farewell show with Livalie. This will be the first time all the members of Livalie have shared a stage since 2008.
"I don't really look at it like a reunion show," guitarist Wright said. "It's just one more time I'll get to play music with all of my best friends. I believe for some of us, it will be the last time. There's something special about that."
Other members of Livalie are Jeremiah Park on bass and Kyle Sandersonon keyboard.
Alongside the Clover-rooted bands will be Charlotte band The Centennial and Cairo Fire.

SD9 – JENNIFER McCLELLAN
Delegate Jennifer McClellan is the Democratic candidate in Senate District 9, vacated by Donald McEachin who won election to the U.S. House of Representatives. McClellan faces Independent Corey Fauconier, and no Republican opposition. Jennifer Leigh "Jenn" McClellan 2006 has been a member of the Virginia House of Delegates since 2006 (71st district, made up of parts of the city of Richmond and Henrico County).

This seat would be a pick up and give Democrats the 20th seat in the Senate – making a tie in the Senate (40 seats in the Virginia Senate) allowing our Democratic Lt. Gov. Northam to cast tie-breaking votes. Ryant has two opponents, a Libertarian and Republican – he can win.
Ryant Washington is the Democratic candidate in Senate District 22, vacated by a Republican Tom Garret who won a seat in Congress. Ryant is a former state trooper who spent fourteen years serving his community as Fluvanna County Sheriff; his life and career are dedicated to keeping our neighborhoods safe. He has seen people at their best and he has seen them at their worst, which is why he knows that education is the key to helping people get good paying jobs which in turn means they can lead better more hopeful lives. And families with hope and stable jobs are when they are their strongest and at their best. Simply put, it's all connected: (1) education, (2) jobs, and (3) public safety. And those will be Ryant's 3 priorities in the senate.
He has the strong support and backing of Governor McAuliffe, Lieutenant Governor Northam, Attorney General Herring and the Senate Democratic Caucus and DPVA.
Ryant has 2 opponents, a Republican and an Independent. Mark Peake is a Virginia Republican Party insider who believes that the biggest issue facing the 22nd district is "free markets" – not growing the economy or attracting good paying jobs. Neither he nor Joe Hines, who calls himself an independent conservative, have ever served their communities with the passion or commitment that Ryant's entire career demonstrates.

Cheryl is seeking to fill the vacancy of Republican Scott Taylor, who has been elected to Congress (CD2). The 85th House District is the most competitive special election of the new year and is our best hope in sending another Democrat to Richmond.
In the most recent election, Hillary Clinton lost by less than 1% to Donald Trump in our toss-up district. With Cheryl's deep roots in the district as a long-term public school educator and a community organizer, she is in a unique position to energize the Democratic base pushing her to victory and a positive change for our district.
Cheryl grew up in an active military family. After serving in the Army for 23 years, Cheryl's father retired from service and her family resided in Fairfax County, Virginia. For the past 18 years, Cheryl's family has called the Kempsville area of Virginia Beach home. Her two adult daughters, Ellison and Patricia, attended Virginia Beach City Public Schools and are graduates of Kempsville High School. Cheryl received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Education from Virginia Commonwealth University and earned a Master of Education Degree from the University of Virginia. She has invested herself and her appreciation of education into the lives of local students for the past 24 years while serving as a High School Science teacher. For the past 8 years, she has taught Advanced Placement Environmental Science.

Bon, ça avance. When does something -- an event or a routine, say -- become a "tradition" ? How long is necessary ? Years ? Decades ? Centuries ? Is uniqueness essential ? Who or what confers the appellation "tradition" ? Is consensus required ?
All are questions worthy of careful consideration, indeed, although perhaps not here, in the interests of brevity.
So, descending through the clouds, back to reality (smile) ... in music, matters appear to be relatively simple: one hears locutions such as "traditional American folksongs" or "traditional Anglican hymns", for example, or "presenting the opera with the traditional staging". Food, too, is simplicity itself: "traditional French cooking", "traditional New York cheesecake recipe", "traditional German bread", or "in the tradition of Auguste Escoffier's Ritz."
Holidays -- and other significant dates during the calendar year -- can and do give rise to a multitude of traditions. Some of them may very well take root within families: the annual American Fourth of July picnic with accompanying baseball game, the Thanksgiving turkey dinner, and the French Christmas messe de minuit followed by a reveillon repast spring immediately to mind. Parents cognizant of the importance of tradition may even invent their own with their children, discussing it beforehand with them, to confer a clear continuity and unique solidarity between immediate generations. Reading portions of Shakespeare's Henry V en famille at dinner on October 24th every year ("... will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbour ..."), for example, turned out to be an excellent excuse for measuring the past year's historical temperature and putting events in perspective.
Some social actions lend themselves easily to being called "traditional". Supping after the theatre in London's West End is traditional -- most everlastingly so, if Conan Doyle is to be believed. (smile) The Spring Break among American college students can be called a tradition. Sports "traditions" abound: from drinking a mint julep at the Kentucky Derby, through partaking of strawberries at Wimbledon, to devouring a foot-long hotdog during the seventh inning stretch at Dodger Stadium.
Beware: one should not be overly cavalier in labeling something traditional. A consequential period of time is definitely necessary for a tradition to take root and for something to be termed "traditional": a few years are just not enough. Amerloque was reminded of this when travelling in the US in 2003 and seeing advertising for a restaurant which proudly proclaimed "A Tradition Since 1995." Eight years and already a tradition ? Things happen quickly in the USA, granted, but that's simply a misuse of language -- a field itself filled with tradition, from the use and meaning of basic words to proverbs and sayings passed down from time immemorial.
Traditions die out, too. The reason for the tradition can simply vanish: for example, a young girl sewing a sampler to demonstrate proper seamstress's technique. People may no longer attach importance to what was once flourishing and necessary to society: the disappearance of springtime village fairs in France, at which one was to take on hired help for the upcoming year, (la loué) is a good example.
Ending a tradition with forethought is never a simple matter. In France, a country where tradition is fortunately alive and well in many spheres, a national drama took place last week. On Wednesday, June 15th, the renowned Paris department store La Samaritaine closed its doors, undoubtedly for the last time in the form Parisians have known until now.
Founded in 1870 by an itinerant stallholder from the Charente named Ernest Cognacq eight years after the opening of the Bon Marché over on the Left Bank, La Samaritaine took its name from a water pump which distributed water from the Seine into the Tuileries and Louvre neighborhoods. On the pump was a gilded ornament showing Christ and a woman from Samaria, the former capital of Judea: hence, une samaritaine.
Cognacq and his wife Louise Jay, a former shopgirl at the rival store, built the Sama into the very best people's department store in Paris. Located only 100 meters or so from Les Halles, the store's clientele was overwhelmingly populaire and a far cry from the bourgeois, almost Brummelled patrons of Printemps, Galeries Lafayette and Bon Marché. In 1905 the Sama employed over 6,000 people. Cognacq and Jay, both concerned about workers' welfare, were enlightened and (to use an older word no longer in vogue) paternalistic: they instituted a profit-sharing scheme, one of the first in France, for everyone working at the Sama. In 1916, they launched the Fondation Cognacq-Jay which among other activities built and managed a maternity hospital, a retirement home, a day-care center, and employee residences. After World War One, the Sama employed many war widows as a gesture of national solidarity: a member of Amerloque's French family, whose husband was killed at the front in 1915, worked at the Sama from 1919 through the 1950s.
The first of the current four buildings, with its iron-framed structure, dates from the 1890s; architecturally it was heavily criticized, just as the Eiffel Tower was when built. In 1906 the Journal de Débats went so far as to trumpet theatrically: Maintenant, l'horreur est consommé.. ("Now, the horror is consummated.") Fortunately the lengthy procedures to preserve all the buildings and Art Nouveau / Art Deco facades as historical monuments were brought to a successful conclusion in ... 1990.
La Samaritaine celebrated its centenary in 1970 and Amerloque was there. (This was just a few years after the closure of Les Halles, by the way: a memorable last day and night that was.) As a matter of fact, in the 1960s and 1970s, Amerloque spent many hours wandering around the Sama, discovering and studying strange and wonderful things: it was like strolling through a living, full-size catalogue. Many items were quintessentially French and offered clear insights into just how French society was organized, with a thrift and economy of movement that would have put the much-vaunted skinflint New England Yankee to shame.
How different it was then and there compared to the nascent consumer-oriented society in the 1960s USA. One went to the Sama when one needed a piece of thread (or a sewing machine), a window pane (or an entire frame), a pair of work pants (or a complete bleu de travail), a bicycle (or just an inner tube), a bidet (or the full porcelain bathroom suite), a birthday gift (or simply a greeting card) or a christening spoon (plated or solid silver, if you please). One could purchase one nail, or a kilo of nails; one dust bag for one's Hoover, or the entire package; a radio for one's automobile, or just one fuse; a cotton or linen pillowcase for one's bed, or a thin paper pattern to embroider a pillowcase oneself. One brought one's empty wine bottles to be filled with pinard from huge barrels, in an odoriferous part of the Sama where strange, unknown - French - smells and fragrances mingled unceasingly with those of freshly baked goods wafting in from the outdoor stalls. One never had to go outdoors to change stores, though: the basements of the four buildings were interconnected by a warren of passageways. One could spend an entire morning ambling in the aisles, go to the top floor for a summary lunch in the customers' self, with its fantastic view of Paris, and explore at will until closing.
That was a time, too, when television sets were pretty few and far between. One could trundle over to the Sama on a blustery evening and watch TV, free. When an important soccer game was scheduled to be broadcast, the store would put sets in many of its windows; passerby would congregate on the sidewalks to watch the silent, flickering pictures on screens, behind the store's thick glass. There was always someone who would pull un transistor out of his pocket and turn it up to full volume. After the game, the spectators would treat him to a few refreshments at the closest café. Needless to say, Amerloque always brought his radio along: it proved to be an invaluable tool for making acquaintances, a few of whom have remained friends to this day.
Fast forward. LVMH, the luxury group which currently owns La Samaritaine has been forced to close the stores. The prefectoral safety commission decided that the store "no longer fulfilled safety requirements" and, in its February report, said that the Sama should be shut down "for public safety". LVMH has stated that the Sama "will remain a retail store" and at the end of the month will decide either a) to close it all down for three or four years to do the necessary work or b) to remain open and stagger the works over the next decade while c) not sacking any employees at all, whatever the solution adopted. The unions are furious and really don't believe LVMH. They feel a) that the Sama is gone forever, b) that the 1500 employees will be thrown out of work through no fault of their own, and c) that the closure is linked to real-estate speculation. Note that the "not up to standard" bone has been thrown to jackal developers and speculators time after time since 1981; the future will reveal just how right the unions are.
Parisians will no longer be seeing the classic advertising with the inimitable On trouve tout à la Samaritaine ! ("Everything can be found at the Samaritaine !" or, more colloquially, "You can find anything at the Samaritaine !"). It was true. One could, indeed, find anything and everything at the Samaritaine, if one looked hard enough.
Shopping at the Samaritaine, a Paris icon, was a precious tradition. That tradition is gone. Probably forever.
Update on June 24th: Off on a break. Back after July 4th, US Independence Day and July 14th, la Fête Nationale !

Made these on the Autoknitter this morning, and for some reason, even though I used identical weights, method etc, the tension went off and I have vastly different patterning on these. Mildly annoying, still, I'm sure they will appeal to someone and as they are a child size being a bit skewiff will probably be a bonus.

Physiologic development of speech motor control: articulatory coordination of lips and jaw
Green, Jordan R
MetadataShow full item record
The objective of this investigation was to describe development of lip and jaw coordination during speech. The potential influence of labiomandibular coordination on phonologic acquisition was also considered. A computer-based movement tracking system was used to transduce movement of the upper lip, lower lip, and jaw. Productions of syllables containing bilabial consonants were obtained from four age groups (i.e., one-, two-, six-years, and young adult). Two complementary analytic techniques were used to quantify interarticulator coordination, one reflecting spatial and temporal coupling of articulatory pairs and the other isolating each articulator's contribution to oral closure.The coordinative organization of these articulatory gestures was shown to change dramatically during the first several years of life and to continue to undergo refinement st age six. At one year of age, jaw displacement contributed the most to oral closure. The contribution of the lower lip increased gradually with age, whereas the contribution the upper lip was greater for two-year-olds than for any other group.Spatial and temporal coupling of movement of the upper lip, lower lip, and jaw were shown to increase with maturation. A similar developmental trend was exhibited for each measure. Coupling of upper lip and lower lip movement was rigid in even the youngest subject groups. In contrast, coupling of lip and jaw pairs was initially weak and gradually increased with age.The present results can be interpreted as representing three primary phases in the development of lip and jaw coordination for speech: integration, differentiation, and refinement. Each of these developmental processes entails the existence of distinct coordinative constraints on early articulatory movement. It is suggested that these constraints will have predictable consequences for the sequence of phonologic development.

Well, I said in my review that the high-tension Brazilian kidnap thriller "A Wolf at the Door" was highly impressive stuff, and it seems the jury at the Miami Film Festival agreed. Not only did Fernando Coimbras' debut feature take the top prize at last night's festival awards ceremony, beating nine other films in the Knight Competition for Spanish and Latin American narrative cinema, but Coimbras was further rewarded with the Best Director award.
That the jury — led by Spanish producer Enrique Lopez Lavigne, whose credits include "The Impossible" — chose to doubly honor Coimbras in this fashion marks a serious show of faith in a filmmaker whose snappy arthouse-genre chops have serious crossover potential. ("A Wolf at the Door" also won the Latin Horizons section last year at the San Sebastian fest, where it premiered; Brazil has a formidable candidate for Oscar submission here.) It's not as if the competition was lacking: among the films it beat were Mexican coming-of-age dramedy "Club Sandwich," about which I enthused earlier this week, and the tightly-wound Chilean revenge thriller "To Kill a Man," which was a Grand Prize winner at Sundance in January. (The latter was handed the Future Critics' Jury Award.)
The corresponding Documentary Competition was equally strong — so much so that the doc jury (headed by "Born Into Brothels" Oscar winner Ross Kauffman) couldn't decide on one winner. Sharing the top prize were two American films that have already made a splash on the festival circuit: Jesse Moss's "The Overnighters" and Charlie Siskel and John Maloof's "Finding Vivian Maier." The former was a critical sensation at Sundance, where it landed a Special Jury Prize; the latter, which hits theaters later this month, debuted in Toronto and has gained plaudits in Palm Springs and Berlin. I'm looking forward to catching up with both.
The Audience Awards, meanwhile, split the difference between high-profile fare and more far-flung options. "The Mountain," a mountaineering tale from the Dominican Republic, won the documentary section, while the popular favorite in the narrative section was John Turturro's comedy "Fading Gigolo," which stars Woody Allen as an unlikely pimp to a middle-aged hustler played by Turturro himself. The Miami fest has been generous to Turturro: the actor-director was the recipient of their annual Career Achievement Tribute last week.
The world premiere of Raymond De Felitta's Bronx-set crime story "Rob the Mob" — in which the "City Island" director collaborates once more with Andy Garcia — followed the award presentations, with the Miami-raised actor's arrival on stage greeted with whoops of approval from the crowd. Rum-fuelled festivities followed at the city's spectacular Freedom Tower, a Mediterranean Revival beauty that put me oddly in mind of "Vertigo" — this is a festival that puts as much thought and invention into its parties as its programming.
I'm heading back to London today, but there's more Miami coverage to come; stay tuned for more reviews, as well as interviews with Garcia and festival director Jaie Laplante.
The full list of winners:
Knight Competition – Grand Jury Prize: "A Wolf at the Door" (Brazil)
Knight Competition – Best Director: Fernando Coimbra, "A Wolf at the Door" (Brazil)

Anger Management (FX, 9:30 p.m.) — Martin Sheen guest stars. Here's a fun parlor game: is that more or less depressing than Marlon Brando in The Island of Dr Moreau?
Bullet in the Face (IFC, 10 p.m.) — Series premiere. The Eddie Izzard show once described as "the most violent show on television" debuts tonight with the first of two nightly installments. Dustin's got the review, if you're interested in a show with a slew of beheadings and random shootings for the sake of comedy.
The Next (The CW, 9 p.m.) — Series premiere. "When the mentors head to Orlando to meet contestants, Gloria Estefan shows a musician how to deal with stage fright, and Joe Jonas brings a young woman out of her comfort zone." I can't think of an episode description that appeals less to the average UPROXX reader. It's like "ALISON BRIE JOEL MCHALE NUDE SEX BOOBIES," but the exact opposite.
Louie (FX, 10:30 p.m.) — Louie gets a rash and says, "Might as well be a maggot sucking a dead cat's face."
Childrens Hospital/NTSF:SD:SUV (Adult Swim, 12 a.m.) — "Madonna" visits Childrens Hospital, which is a bummer because it's not Mandonna, and Trent infiltrates a gang that's planning to take down a restaurant. I hope it's the Denny's in San Diego. They got my order wrong, and you do NOT mess with a man's pancakes.
LATE NIGHT GUESTS: Tracy Morgan on Letterman; Kristen Bell and Ryan Lochte on Leno; Jennifer Garner and Paul Scheer on Kimmel; Tyler Perry on Ferguson; Ricky Martin and Piper Perabo on Fallon; Rob Corddry on Stewart; and the Flaming Lips on Colbert.

From the outside it may appear that everyone in Ohio is a Buckeyes fan. Ohio State probably gets more publicity than all the other institutions in Ohio combined, and for a long time it was the only Ohio school in a BCS conference, so it's easy to see why some may believe this.
Anyone who knows me knows I've been an Ohio Bobcats diehard since the day I stepped on campus in September 2008. Coincidentally, my hatred for Ohio State, which had laid dormant during my grade school years, has awoken while on the campus of another university. This is partially due to the fact that on game day I see more scarlet and grey jerseys in campus bars than green and white ones in the stands of Peden Stadium. This article in Ohio University's student newspaper pretty much sums up my opinion on the Ohio State issue.
It's hard to be a fan of a non-BCS school (unless that school is a perennial power like Boise State, TCU or Utah). The mainstream media only reports on our team if something really amazing or really terrible happens, and you won't see Lee Corso putting on a Bobcat head anytime soon. The only times our games are shown are early in the season when we pick up our paycheck to play one of the BCS schools or during the conference season on a Tuesday night on ESPN U.
I decided to document my experiences this past Saturday as my beloved Bobcats opened Mid-American Conference play against the Toledo Rockets in an attempt to describe what it's like to root for a school big enough to play at the same level as the big boys, but small enough to remain off the mainstream radar.
Penn State travels to Tuscaloosa to battle Alabama in the nightcap of an excellent second Saturday of college football. Penn State enters the game ranked 18th in the AP poll and 14th in the Coaches after a 44-14 win over Youngstown State. Defending National Champions Alabama sit atop both polls after their 48-3 thrashing of San Jose State.
This game is yet another National Championship rematch, the 1979 Sugar Bowl, when #2 Alabama stopped #1 Penn State on the goal line to give Bear Bryant his fifth National Championship.
None of us have forgotten the last time these teams clashed in the 2003 National Championship game. You would think after seven years these players wouldn't look to that game as a source of inspiration, but the 'U' is out for vengeance. None of the 2010 Hurricanes were even out of high school yet, being somewhere between 10-14 years old when the Buckeyes took down the favored Miami team in a double-overtime 31-24 upset that prevented the 'U' from back-to-back titles. Even still, the Miami Hurricanes of today haven't forgotten about the loss.
Defensive end Olivier Vernon told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel: "It's revenge time. Nobody's forgotten about that. I feel like I was playing in that game."
For the Buckeyes what happened in 2003 simply happened in 2003. Even Jim Tressel claimed to be puzzled by the idea that this game holds a sense of revenge for Miami. As for the superstar quarterback of the Buckeyes, the game wasn't even important enough at the time for him to watch.
Terrelle Pryor, originally from Jeannette, Pa., said, "I'd be lying if I said I watched that game".
If this were earlier in the decade, a nation would've turned its eyes on this match-up. A regular season clash between Florida State and Oklahoma? If Saturday Night Football existed then, this game would've been a no-brainer. Possibly the most important match-up of the season!
But it isn't 2001 or 2002. In 2010, a Florida State-Oklahoma match-up gets to be a national TV game, but it's scheduled opposite the more hyped Ohio State-Miami game, and the prime time slot belongs to Penn State-Alabama.
Like its afternoon counterpart, these two teams also met in a championship game. The 2001 Orange Bowl, where Oklahoma beat an FSU team that leapfrogged Miami in the BCS standings 13-2, was their last meeting. Unlike the Fiesta Bowl re-creation though, this is no grudge match. It's pitting two teams battling back to respectability.
As reported today, troubled former Oregon quarterback Jeremiah Masoli is now eligible to be a nuisance for the Ole Miss Rebels. Masoli may have stolen from a fraternity house and cited for weed possession during his time in the tolerant Pacific Northwest, but Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt insists that'll change. Because apparently he's "in the people-helping business." Are you a social worker, Houston?
Nonetheless, Nutt has to be on to something. Because not only will Masoli have to contend with people like this in the beautiful south, he'll be on the straight and narrow with his master's program… in Parks and Recreation Management!
This dynamic program just had to prepare Masoli to be a shining example of an American leader. I just had to investigate…
- This is a growth industry, but he'll be facing "keen competition" as well as a couple priors for that position as Student Activities Officer.
- He'll be taking such rigorous courses as "Leisure Programming for Senior Adults" and "Advanced Independent Study". Read the rest of this entry »
The college football season begins in 24 hours, the final season before yet another seismic change in the landscape. But before Nebraska bolts to get their ass kicked by Ohio State instead of Texas and Colorado moves to become irrelevant on the west coast, there's still one last chance to challenge the system as is.
Boise State for the national championship.
The Broncos were thought of as a cute little sideshow for beating Oklahoma in 2007. Two consecutive undefeated regular seasons later, they're being scolded for wanting to leave their little niche in search of a BCS-level program. Kid Cudi can't empathize here- the haters won't even shake the Broncos' hand. Read the rest of this entry »
Madden has been the power house of sports gaming for decades, but this series is one with a very dark past. The game series debuted as John Madden Football in 1988 for Apple computers if you can believe it. Madden made the jump to the SEGA Genesis and began it's rise to power in the gaming world from then on. John Madden was the face of the game every year up until 1999 when the company finally realized an old ugly white dude who was simply continuing to get older and uglier just wasn't who they wanted to promote an ever evolving simulation of the American gridiron. Coach Madden felt betrayed. The franchise that his name built had turned their back on him, and this was something that John could not just let go. Ever since the hall of fame coach has been dethroned he has vowed vengeance upon anyone who dares to take his place. Behind closed doors Coach Madden is a very dark and powerful sorcerer, and he has hexed the featured player from 1999 up until now. He will not stop his unrelenting quest for vengeance because this is a wound that John has never been able to close.
Lets explore the curse a little deeper. In 1999 when the new Madden 2000 was being set to be released Electronic Arts decided to ease out of the old coach by putting a faded blue picture of Barry Sanders behind a picture of Madden himself. When John got wind of the betrayal he used his dark magic to end Barry Sanders playing days for good. Sanders, under a commanding curse from Madden, unexpectedly retired from the game for good. With this the battle between EA and John Madden began. Coach Madden in a blind rage cursed Sanders well before the games release giving EA time to replace the graphic and eliminate Madden all together. They replaced the image with Dorsey Levens who played for the Green Bay Packers. In years prior the Packers had just played in back-to-back super bowls and been a dominant force in the NFC, but with the newly cursed running back they couldn't even make it to the playoffs. Since Madden was just getting his grip on his magical forces Levens actually had a decent season, but he was dealing with a bad knee all year that eventually turned into his demise. He was cut from Green Bay at the end of 2001.
This was only the beginning. Eddie George from the Tennessee Titans decided to step up and be honored as the 2001 Madden cover. Madden used a curse that went undetected by EA for nearly the entire season. Eddie went on to have his best statistical year of his career. EA seemed to have won the battle until disaster struck in the Titans divisional playoff game with the Baltimore Ravens. Eddie George bobbled a pass that turned into an interception, and subsequently cost the Titans the game and their season. The 2001 curse lingered and Eddie George turned out his worst rushing average as he was hampered by injuries for all of the following season.
Madden 2002 brought on the next contender in Daunte Culpepper. A man who was regarded as one of the elite quarter backs of the time, but you take on John Madden and he will destroy you. Daunte struggled for the Vikings as they were only 4-7 before Madden decided to put him out of his misery with a season ending knee injury. The Minnesota Vikings went on to a misreble 5-11 record after going to the NFC championship game just one year prior.
For 2003 one of the all time greats figured he was up to the task. Marshall Faulk came into the season with four back-to-back-to-back-to-back +1,300 yard rushing seasons. EA figured they had an unstoppable force with Faulk, but once again they underestimated the power of vengeance. Faulk was plagued with an ankle injury all year and failed to even reach the 1,000 yard mark.
Michael Vick was a cocky young rising star who had been called Superman for his speed and electrifying quality on the field. John Madden ended his high flying expectations for 2004 when he cursed Vick just one day after the release of the Vick covered Madden. Michael only saw the field for the last five games after a fractured fibula in pre-season, and the Falcons suffered greatly going 5-11.
Electronic Arts figured they could beat the system by replacing the Madden cover player with a defensive guy in 2005. Ray Lewis didn't believe in any stupid curse. For the first time in his career he didn't record a single interception after picking off 7 just one year before. He also sat out the last game of the season with an injury as the Ravens missed the playoffs. They had made the playoffs three of the past four years.
The ignorance of the players continues to keep the tradition going. In 2006 Donovan McNabb took on the task by saying, "…might be a trend, but I don't believe in the curse at all". If only he weren't so naive. In the very first game McNabb suffered a sports hernia. He attempted to will himself through the season all just to prove the curse wrong, but Madden clenched his grip and reinjured McNabb against Dallas ending Donovan's season. Philadelphia placed last in the NFC East after making the playoffs five straight years prior.
In 2007 Shaun Alexander graced the cover after a great season that led the Seahawks to their very first super bowl appearance. Also in an attempt to reconcile EA put out a special addition with Madden on the cover just like old times. After John realized no one was buying the game with his face on it he snapped back into his vendetta on EA. So in week three Alexander broke his foot and missed the next six games. Same old story. John Madden will always prevail.
2008 brought on a new challenge for Coach Madden and his curse when Vince Young took on the cover. Young hurt his quadriceps in week 5 and missed his first game due to injury in the history of his playing career (high school/ college/ pro).
EA got real clever for 2009's game. They decided to put Brett Favre on the cover after he retired. Good luck injuring a player when he no longer plays the game. Do not test the might of Madden. He used his dark magic on Favre to bring him out of retirement so he can lead the league in interceptions with the Jets while playing with a torn biceps. In a crude joke Madden also cursed Favre with a retirement loop. Every year Brett will retire only to come out of retirement until he is either dead or unwanted.
EA was stubborn. They refused to wave the white flag in surrender. They tried something new that opened up a possible weakness for John Madden. They put two players on the cover at once. Madden scrambled to handle with the two players at once, but only got to Troy Polamalu in time. He sprained his MCL missing three games only to come back and be re-injured. He hurt his posterior cruciate ligament in November and missed even more games. For all intensive purposes Larry Fitzgerald got out of the season untampered with. John realized he had been tricked and finally gave some ground back to EA, but in a last ditch effort Coach Madden cursed Larry with a rib injury causing him to miss the pro bowl.
The war between Electronic arts and John Madden will more than likely never end. EA has finally caught Madden with a weakness, and intends to continue to fight back. They seem to have gotten over confident as they fell back into their old cycle this year by putting only Drew Brees on the cover, but my guess is they've got some sort of trick up their sleeves. Best of luck Drew, and watch your back because the power of John Madden has no bounds.
Usually the only time I see my hometown in the news is when the latest most dangerous or most miserable cities list is released, so I was surprised to see this gem while browsing Deadspin.
If you've been following OK Confucius through its early stages, you know much of our output has concentrated on sports and art. Naturally, it was only a matter of time before we were writing about an intersection of the two…
No, can it be? Has NCAA 2011 finally become a game worth buying on it's own? It's not just an addicts fix to tide them over until August when our saving grace finally comes in? If you're like me then you have always felt like NCAA plays like a year old version of Madden. Also if your like me you annually shell out 60 bucks of your hard earned cash on a game that gets a month of play. Well my friends I think the year has finally come for NCAA to join it's big brother on center stage, and for fans to rejoice. The game we have always wanted out of a college football game has finally arrived.

The cupcake batter was thick, but packed lots of peanut butter flavor. I omitted the extra chopped nuts because, while I like nuts, I don't like crunchy interrupting my soft, tender sweets. It's a texture thing I just can't get past - like the occasional jello with celery that would turn up at the church basement potlucks.
I decided that a dollop of Jelly on the top of the frosted cupcake just wasn't enough, so I scooped a well out of the cupcake and filled the peanut butter cupcake with jelly as well.
