Clutch hitters emerge on postseason stage
Baseball's most reliable shift into another gear when the stakes are raised
It is the same game in October, intensified immeasurably by rising stakes and pressures that lift pulse rates off the charts. While pitching is paramount, and everyone rolls out the big arms, you can't win without runs. Offense is at a premium.
Players who manage to control their emotions while retaining an uncluttered, confident mindset are the ones who tend to soar.
Reggie Jackson, on both coasts with the A's and Yankees, was the embodiment of such a player. A natural-born showman, he embraced everything about the postseason, making it his personal stage. That's how he became known as Mr. October. It wasn't handed to him; he earned it with consistent greatness under pressure.
Carlos Beltran, cool and reserved, is nothing like the flamboyant, outspoken Jackson in personal style. But with another postseason on the horizon, no player comes closer to Reggie's Mr. October profile than the Cardinals' quietly brilliant right fielder.
A .283 career hitter with a .496 slugging percentage for five teams across 16 seasons, Beltran has a history of transforming himself into a superstar in October. In 34 career postseason games, he has been a .363 hitter with a .782 slugging percentage. His 1.252 postseason OPS (on-base plus slugging) dwarfs his excellent .854 regular-season mark.
Beltran, who hit .357 with three homers and six RBIs in the 2012 postseason for the Redbirds, traces this extraordinary personal history to his playoff debut in 2004, after having been dealt to Houston at midseason following six productive seasons with the Royals.
In 12 playoff games against Atlanta and St. Louis, Beltran hit .435 with eight homers and 14 RBIs, scoring 21 runs. He stole six bases. But the star-studded Astros fell one win shy of a World Series date with Boston, losing Game 7 of the National League Championship Series to a Cardinals team led by Albert Pujols.
"All those years in Kansas City, I never experienced anything like it," Beltran said. "I wasn't expecting anything crazy. I just wanted to enjoy the moment and have fun. That Houston team went out and played hard and made good things happen. At the end of the day, I had a good experience."
The Cardinals kept Beltran out of the Fall Classic again in 2006 after he'd signed a free-agent deal with the Mets following the 2004 season.
Adam Wainwright, Beltran's teammate now, broke off a killer full-count curveball to freeze Beltran for the final out of Game 7 in the NLCS, leaving the bases loaded in a 3-1 St. Louis triumph. Beltran, who had homered three times in the series, took the disappointment with grace, praising Wainwright and the victors.
When the opportunity arose to join the team that twice had left him one win away from a Fall Classic, Beltran jumped aboard the Cardinals train in 2012 -- and again came up one game shy of the World Series. The Giants roared back to beat the Cards in Games 5, 6 and 7 of the NLCS en route to the World Series title.
In St. Louis' stunning triumph at the expense of the Nationals in the Division Series, Beltran was up to his old tricks, hitting .444 with two homers, four RBIs and five runs scored in five games.
At 36, having produced a characteristically superb season for the Redbirds, Beltran is about to resume his quest with another shot at the brass ring.
"That's what motivates every single player in the big leagues -- to try to win a championship and be the last team standing," Beltran said. "As a player, you have to understand that's not an easy thing to do. A lot of players have played great for 18, 20 years and not been able to win a championship.
"One reason I ended up in St. Louis was that it was a good chance for me to be able to win a championship. They showed what they could do [in 2011], and I would love it if I could celebrate another championship with them."
Beltran is surrounded by athletes who have lifted their performances when it matters most, such as David Freese and Yadier Molina.
Freese, a local kid who gave up the game and came back to it, emerged from the shadows in 2011 to claim the Most Valuable Player awards in the NLCS and the World Series during the Cardinals' improbable title run. Like Beltran, the third baseman has elevated his numbers dramatically in the postseason, hitting .345 and slugging .645 with six homers and 25 RBIs in 31 games.
Molina, who made his reputation as the game's best defensive catcher, is an offensive weapon in October. A .299 hitter in 63 postseason games, Molina has hit .341 in 15 World Series games. He drove in nine runs, while batting .333, in the 2011 Fall Classic triumph over Texas and crushed the decisive ninth-inning home run in that NLCS Game 7 at Shea Stadium in 2006 that left Beltran and the Mets brokenhearted. Molina hit .348 with six RBIs in that series.
B.J. Upton's debut season in Atlanta, alongside younger brother Justin, hasn't been anything like what he'd envisioned on a personal level, his offensive numbers at subterranean levels.
But going into the Division Series with a clean slate, the Braves' skillful center fielder might want to recall his own words from 2008 as he embarked on the postseason with the Rays: "Obviously, the numbers haven't been there and the production hasn't. But that's what the postseason is about. It's time to step it up."
And that is what he did, unloading seven homers and driving in 15 runs in 11 playoff games against the White Sox and Red Sox before the Rays fell in five World Series games to the Phillies.
When a player has experienced that level of success under pressure, it is something to draw upon emotionally. If you've done it once, you can do it again.
Torii Hunter used free agency to move to Detroit this season in large part because of the opportunity the abundantly talented Tigers gave him to claim an elusive World Series title after losing six of eight postseason series with the Twins and Angels -- through no fault of his own. The Tigers right fielder is a .305 career hitter with a .489 slugging percentage in 34 postseason games. He has four homers and 18 RBIs, scoring 19 runs, while playing his familiar Gold Glove-quality defense.
"When you get to the postseason," Hunter said, "you've got to stay cool mentally but play with fire, emotion, passion. Everything means so much, and you're facing nothing but top-shelf pitchers. But it's still the same game you've been playing all your life. You've got to let your talent flow."
David Ortiz, one of Hunter's teammates early in his career in Minnesota, has mastered that art. Like another popular "Pops" of an earlier era, Pittsburgh's Willie Stargell, Big Papi has been big-time, the picture of calm assurance while Red Sox Nation is in the grip of delirium.
In Boston's 2004 postseason ride to end all rides, Ortiz towered above everyone. He batted .400 with a 1.278 OPS in 14 games, going deep five times and driving in 19 runs. His MVP performance in the ALCS conquest of the Yankees -- homers in Games 4, 5 and 7, a total of 11 RBIs -- took its place with the greatest clutch displays in postseason history.
As Ortiz flows, it appears, so Boston goes. During the 2007 World Series championship run, he hit .370 with three homers and 10 RBIs in 14 games. But in his past two postseasons, 2008 and 2009, Big Papi was quiet, hitting .164 in 14 games. To reach another Fall Classic, the Sox clearly could use some vintage Ortiz in the mix.
New to Boston but not to the postseason, Mike Napoli has demonstrated a love of the bright lights of October as an Angel and Ranger. Batting .350 with two homers and 10 RBIs for Texas, Napoli would have been the likely World Series MVP in 2011 if the Rangers had found one more out in the ninth inning of Game 6 in St. Louis. But Freese, Molina and Co. assured that it simply wasn't in the stars -- or the cards.

LAST SEASON: 51-24-7, 109 points. Lost to New Jersey 4-2 in Eastern Conference finals.
COACH: John Tortorella, 6th season with Rangers, 145-100-26; 14th overall, 384-322-100 in NHL.
ADDED: LW Rick Nash, RW Arron Asham, C Micheal Haley, LW Taylor Pyatt, C Jeff Halpern.
LOST: C Artem Anisimov, C Brandon Dubinsky, D Tim Erixon, C John Mitchell, RW Brandon Prust, G Chad Johnson, D Jeff Woywitka, D John Scott, LW Ruslan Fedotenko.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Nash. The big power forward has finally emerged from relative obscurity and landed on the big stage. The 28-year-old Nash, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2002 draft by Columbus, played in only four playoff games in nine seasons with the Blue Jackets. His size and scoring ability will both be major factors for the Rangers' offense, which now boasts three premier forwards in Nash, Marian Gaborik and Brad Richards.
OUTLOOK: With reigning Vezina Trophy winner Henrik Lundqvist in net, and Nash teaming up with Gaborik and Richards up front, the Rangers have every reason to believe they can again top the Eastern Conference in the regular season and carry that through the playoffs, as well.
LAST SEASON: 42-32-8, 92 points. Lost to New York Rangers 4-3 in Eastern Conference semifinals.
COACH: Adam Oates, 1st season with Capitals; 1st overall in NHL.
ADDED: C Mike Ribeiro, RW Eric Fehr, LW Wojtek Wolski.
LOST: RW Alexander Semin, G Tomas Vokoun, RW Mike Knuble, D Dennis Wideman.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Alex Ovechkin. Something less than Alexander the Great the past two seasons, the Capitals' captain will be the key to how far Washington goes this season. There's been talk of shifting him from left wing to right wing in a bid to get him back to the form that earned two league MVP awards.
OUTLOOK: Under first-time head coach Oates, the Capitals will try to find the proper balance between the all-out, go-go style and sit-back-and-play-defense style they shifted between under past coaches Bruce Boudreau and Dale Hunter. For all the talent on Washington's roster, the team has never advanced beyond the second round of the playoffs with Ovechkin.

WASHINGTON (AP) – A Tennessee newspaper and the federal government said they have agreed in principle to settle the paper's lawsuit seeking documents about civil rights-era photographer Ernest Withers' work as an informant for the FBI.
In a court filing late Wednesday night, The Commercial Appeal of Memphis and the FBI said they were in the process of finalizing and executing a settlement agreement. To allow time to do so, they asked the court to suspend deadlines in the case until March 8. No details of the settlement were included in the filing.
U.S. District Amy Berman Jackson granted the request Thursday morning.
In 2010, The Commercial Appeal's publisher, Memphis Publishing Co., and one of its reporters, Marc Perrusquia, filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the FBI. Last year, under a court order, the FBI released 348 pages that were heavily redacted in places. In a court filing, the paper called the release insufficient.
"The Commercial Appeal and Marc are pleased with the agreement we have tentatively reached with the FBI," Charles D. Tobin, a lawyer for Memphis Publishing Co. and Perrusquia, said in an email Thursday. "The process underscores the public's right to know more about this troubling time in our government's history. We have no comment on the details of the settlement until the agreement is signed."
The Justice Department did not respond to phone and email messages Thursday.
About a year ago, the judge in the case said that documents confirmed that Withers, who died at 85 in 2007, secretly served as an informer for the FBI. Withers was known as "the civil rights photographer" for iconic images of the late Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and others protesting for racial equality in the South.
In 2010, The Commercial Appeal reported that Withers was an informant who regularly tipped off authorities about civil rights leaders, many of whom trusted him so completely that he was allowed to sit in on their most sensitive meetings.
Withers' photographs had chronicled the seminal Emmett Till murder trial in 1955, racial integration at the University of Mississippi in 1962 and the 1968 sanitation workers' strike in Memphis that brought King to the city where he was assassinated. Withers marched with King and was beaten by police while covering civil rights leader Medgar Evers' 1963 funeral.

Unfortunately, the Sahara granite grey sample that we ordered never arrived. We DID however, receive the Sahara in Onyx. The fabric, texture and appearance, is coarser than I would have imagined it to be, sort of like a tough tweed. This is NOT a style we'll choose for the look we're hoping to achieve, but the Lido in granite grey, grey, and light grey, are all good possibilities. We also like the step melange and the boss style fabrics.

So... what was different about this day?
- Each session was lead by teachers who volunteered to talk about something they were doing their in classroom.
- For some of these teachers it was the first time for them to talk publicly about what they do in their classroom.
- In each session I could hear real conversations going on, questions, answers, sharing of similar or different experiences, new ideas.
- In most cases there were no presentations, just teachers showing photos of their classroom, websites they used, examples of work with students... and talking.
- It was very relaxed...teachers could come and go as they like.
- This was not talking about what you could do in your classroom or in your Professional Learning, this was about what real teachers are doing right now!
e-Learning conversationsThis I would consider is the best Professional Learning you can have... teachers who are passionate about their craft that they would give up one of their Saturdays to talk to like minded teachers from different schools all over Auckland.

c) Approaching the Celebration
55. A separate chapter will be the actual celebration of the Great Jubilee, which
will take place simultaneously in the Holy Land, in Rome and in the local
Churches throughout the world. Especially in this phase, the phase of celebration, the
aim will be to give glory to the Trinity, from whom everything in the
world and in history comes and to whom everything returns. This mystery is
the focus of the three years of immediate preparation: from Christ and
through Christ, in the Holy Spirit, to the Father. In this sense the Jubilee
celebration makes present in an anticipatory way the goal and fulfilment of
the life of each Christian and of the whole Church in the Triune God.
But since Christ is the only way to the
Father, in order to highlight his living and saving presence in the Church
and the world, the International Eucharistic Congress will take place
in Rome, on the occasion of the Great Jubilee. The Year 2000 will be
intensely Eucharistic: in the Sacrament of the Eucharist the Saviour,
who took flesh in Mary's womb twenty centuries ago, continues to offer
himself to humanity as the source of divine life.
The ecumenical and universal character of the Sacred Jubilee can be fittingly reflected
by a meeting of all Christians. This would be an event of great significance, and
so, in order to avoid misunderstandings, it should be properly presented and carefully
prepared, in an attitude of fraternal cooperation with Christians of other denominations
and traditions, as well as of grateful openness to those religions whose representatives
might wish to acknowledge the joy shared by all the disciples of Christ.
One thing is certain: everyone is asked to do
as much as possible to ensure that the great challenge of the Year 2000 is
not overlooked, for this challenge certainly involves a special grace of the
Lord for the Church and for the whole of humanity.

text: Just back from the above Walensee, Switzerland, where Swiss curator Roman Kurzmeyer opened a show by young Swiss artist Kaspar Müller (on the right, next to Pedro Wirz). It wasn't really a show, more a necklace for an old and small haystack surrounded by snow and nature. Roman runs Atelier Amden as an ephemeral institution since 1999 and presented installations by artists such as Polly Apfelbaum, Mai-Thu Perret, Pawel Althamer, or Anya Gallaccio. Standing up there in the snow, it made me realize how much nature has vanished from contemporary art—maybe rightly so. There was a time when artists traveled to remote places, dived into foreign cultures, and exposed themselves to nature and landscape for inspiration and renewal. To escape the city became one of the trademarks of the avant-garde, from Tahiti to the American desert, from Gauguin to the artists of Land Art. It was a research that was as ambivalent as it was fruitful, but tell me about today's artists traveling to remote places! It's all about the city where most of the world's population lives. Yet, there is some stuff going on in the outskirts. Although artists (and curators) don't get any more inspired by nature and the primitive (whatever this is), they build up structures in the so-called margins: Andrea Zittel's High Desert Text Sites, Gela Patashuri's TCCA Museum Without Wall outside of Tbilisi, Georgia, Transformazium's project in Braddock/Pittsburgh, or Yto Barrada's Cinéma Rif/Cinémathèque de Tanger in Tangier, Morocco.

Watch 'Climb Ev'ry Mountain' and Highlights From 'The Sound of Music Live!'
The highlight of NBC's broadcast of "The Sound of Music Live!" may have been when five-time Tony winner Audra McDonald sang "Climb Ev'ry Mountain."
The show, which starred Carrie Underwood as Maria, generated plenty of buzz on Twitter as fans argued over the acting, the sets, the pacing, the lighting–basically the whole production. #TheSoundOfMusicLive and Julie Andrews, the star the 1965 movie version, were both trending.
The general consensus on social media seemed to be that Underwood's singing was great, but her acting didn't touch Andrews' performance in the film. Also Ariane Rinehart looks to be a breakout star, and McDonald showed a wider audience the towering talent that Broadway audiences have been enjoying for years.
Watch the highlights from "The Sound of Music." Which ones were your favorites? Leave your thoughts in the comments.

WHITE PLAINS, NY – July 25, 2013 – As an avid pianist and dancer, Ava Weibman of Bedford Corners, N.Y., has always taken an interest in movement. In the summer of 2012, after completing her freshman year at Oberlin College in Oberlin, Ohio, she followed that curiosity further by shadowing a neurologist specializing in treating Parkinson's disease, a chronic, progressive movement disorder.
"That was truly an enlightening experience not only because I learned more about the motor symptoms like tremor and balance impairment, but also how Parkinson's disease is a systemic disorder and produces many non-motor symptoms including depression, fatigue and loss of smell," Weibman said. "I also learned that we know very little about the disorder."
An ambitious pre-med student majoring in biology and neuroscience, Weibman decided to pursue further study on Parkinson's disease and in the process, won a $4,000 Summer Student Fellowship from the Parkinson's Disease Foundation (PDF) and a 10-week laboratory experience in Burke Medical Research Institute's Laboratory for Neuronal Specification.
"I'm very excited about contributing to research that has the potential to dramatically improve the quality of life for so many people," she said. According to PDF, approximately 60,000 Americans are diagnosed with Parkinson's disease each year.
"Research is at the forefront of understanding diseases and developing the best treatments and cures," Weibman continued. "By participating in the research of a disorder that currently has no treatments available to either cure the disease or permanently eliminate its symptoms, I hope to learn the approaches that scientists take as well as the questions they ask so that I may someday follow in their footsteps."
Weibman is currently helping to get a new Parkinson's disease research project at Burke off the ground. The project focuses on olfactory bulbs, the initial processing center for odorant information, which is one of the first regions of the brain affected by Parkinson's disease causing a loss of smell. The research aims to identify the specific neurons in the olfactory bulb affected by the disease. From there, the lab hopes to find biomarkers that can help identify patients at risk or are in the early stages of the disease and provide an intervention before motor symptoms appear—which means the patient is already at a late stage of the disease.
"It's hard to understate her contribution to our work," said John Cave, Ph.D., director of Burke's Laboratory for Neuronal Specification and Weibman's mentor. "From the histology to the sheer man hours logging data, she's been invaluable to getting these first stages off the ground. Ideally, we get sufficient preliminary data [this summer] and can put together a competitive grant application to take it to the next level."
According to James Beck, Ph.D., director of Research Programs at PDF, "The Parkinson's Disease Foundation is proud to support Ms. Weibman as a Summer Student Fellow to cultivate her early interest in the field and to prepare her to be one of its future leaders. She will work to identify which of the many neurons in the brain involved in smell are lost to Parkinson's disease that may even lay the foundation for early diagnosis one day."

If I hear one more time in reference to the Holmes situation, that it was done because the Steelers "hold themselves to a higher standard than the other NFL franchises, I am going to puke!
If they truely held themselves to a higher standard, they would immediately cut more than HALF their roster, and trade all their draft picks to St. Louis to move to number one and pick Tim Tebow.
They are just like every other organization that claims to be better than the rest: A BUNCH OF HYPOCRITES!

While iPhone 4 has stolen the spotlight these days, iPhone 3GS is still equipped with a great camera, especially for a phone. However, we never imagined a photographer using the iPhone 3GS during a professional photo shoot. Lee Morris, a professional fashion photographer and writer for f stoppers, has done just that!
The idea behind the shoot was to prove to his readers that a professional camera is not required to get professional photos. He assembled a team of professionals including professional model, Olivia Price, hair and makeup artists, a retoucher, and videographer, all of whom volunteered their time for the project. Morris also used his a studio and lighting equipment.
Morris also admits to using photoshop in post production. He claims that Photoshop is a "necessary tool" for his line of work. "I am in the business of making money and my clients do not care if I got it perfect in the camera or made it perfect in post, they simply want a perfect image."
Morris made sure to stress that the point of this shoot was to show that a photographer should not be limited by his camera; in fact, "the most expensive camera in the world is capable of taking bad pictures." He does a great job proving his point, but your average low budget photographer will not be able get the same results without the thousands of dollars of studio equipment that Morris used. He did mention that he may do a similar shoot in the future using only natural light. I would find that much more interesting and believe it would make a bigger impact. I also hope he uses an iPhone 4 next time!
Nevertheless, the images Morris produced are stunning and even more impressive because they were taken with an iPhone 3GS. You can see the entire set of high res photos on Flickr.
Follow us after the break to see a video of the shoot!

Some in case you missed it, some overdeveloped millionaire football player offed his girlfriend and himself.
A local newscaster went off on a rant about how it was all the eeeeevil guns' fault, and no one should be allowed to have an eeeeevil gun because not even professional athletes can resist the mind control rays.
Fox Sports "personality" Bob Costas repeated the rant.
I can't stand professional athletes as a group anyway--individually, some are fine people, but as a group they tend to be highly overpaid, entitled, arrogant asses--nor the talking heads on news and (especially) sports shows---ditto. I mourn the loss of life in this and similar tragedies, but yet another example of "celebrities" demonstrating that a specific skill set or talent that brings one fame does not, in fact, prevent one from being an ignorant ass.
UPDATE: This just in, Larry Correia with the QOTD, from Twitter:
Yes, Bob Costas, there is literally no other way for a professional athlete who can bench press 500 pounds to hurt somebody without a gun.

With Allen Crabbe pouring in a career-high 33 points, Cal had little trouble taming the Waves of Pepperdine in a 79-62A victory Tuesday night at Haas Pavilion.
The win enabled the Bears to start the season 2-0 before hitting the road for three weeks with single games at the University of Denver and Wisconsin and a Thanksgiving weekend tournament in Anaheim (Orange County).
A three-point shot with 6:23 left in the game gave Crabbe 31 points, one more than his previous high from his freshman season two years ago, and it also increased Cal's lead to 70-52.
Also prolific for the Bears was guard Justin Cobbs, who ably supported Crabbe with 23 points, 18 in the first half.
Pepperdine hung around long enough and did enough good things to make this a five-point game at 40-35 early in the first half, at which point the Bears went on an 11-4 run to make the score a little more comfortable.
Anytime the Bears can get an offensive contribution from Bak Bak it's a bonus. Midway through the second half Cobbs drove the lane, fed him the ball and the 6-foot-9 forward scored and was fouled. His three-point play gave the Bears a 60-48 lead.
A surge of eight points in a span of little more than two minutes by Crabbe enabled the Bears to stretch out to 51-39 in the second half but Pepperdine guard Lorne Jackson responded with a trey of his own to keep the Waves within striking distance at 51-42.
The game got uncomfortably close when the Waves cut Cal's lead to 29-26 on a three-point shot by Jackson in the final minutes of the half. But the Bears closed with a rush on a dunk and three-point shot by Crabbe and a layup at the buzzer by Cobbs as he finished a prolific half with 18 points.
At the break Cal's lead was back to 10 at 36-26.
The first half saw the Cal debut of Missouri transfer Ricky Kreklow, a 6-foot-6 sophomore capable of playing in the backcourt or on the wing. He played nine minutes in the half and had three points, three rebounds, a steal and an assist.
Kreklow had foot surgery in October that set him back after he sat out 2011-12 on the transfer rule. In his limited time on court in the half he looked capable of handling the ball as well as searching out rebounds. He finished the game with three points, four rebounds and two assists.
A pair of free throws by Crabbe pushed Cal's lead in the first half to 10 at 27-17 with 8:13 before the break. At this point, Cobbs had pumped in 16 points for the Bears as he looked comfortable with his shot from just about any spot in the half-court offense.
Briefly: This was Cal's last home game until Dec. 9, when UNLV comes to Haas Pavilion. That game and a Dec. 15 game at Haas against Creighton will be free to Cal students. … Pepperdine had players on its roster from Norway, Nigeria, Germany and Trinidad.

Pre-Owned Prestige
This story appears in the February 2000 issue of . Subscribe »
OK, so you can't afford a gleaming new BMW--maybe not even a spiffy VW Jetta--so how do you explain all those other people your age who are driving wheels you only dream about? You know they're not earning a dime more than you, so what's the story? Here it is, in two words: Used, or, as the marketers say, "pre-owned." Either way, slightly worn wheels just may be the smartest buy if you're on a tight budget but crave stylish transportation.
Case in point: A new 2000 Jetta GLS runs around $20,000--and dealers aren't coming down far from the sticker price on this super-popular car--but a `97 Jetta GLS, with all the options and low mileage, likely won't cost a dime over $15,000. Go more luxurious, and price cuts become still deeper. A search at the Hertz used vehicles site (http://www.hertzcarsales.com) reveals that buyers of year-old creampuffs pocket thousands in savings.
Doesn't buying a used car mean buying somebody else's problem? Used to be, but today's cars are dramatically better made. Many Web sites and books can help guide buyers through the used-car maze.
Robert McGarvey drives a '99 Camry, but his dream car is a '67 Morris Minor. A what? If you have to ask...don't bother.
What Should It Cost?
Get solid pricing info before ever stepping on a dealer's lot by visiting Kelly Blue Book (http://www.kellybluebook.com) and Edmund's (http://www.edmunds.com). Both offer easy-to-use price guides that, with a few mouse clicks, give a rough sense of what any late-model used car is worth.
Shopping Around
Let your mouse do your car hunting by visiting the many Web sites devoted to used cars. Especially fertile shopping sites are:
- AutoTrader (http://www.autotrader.com). With more than 1 million vehicles in its listings, this is the biggest used car lot around. You can search by make, model and ZIP code, and there are handy buttons to click for quotes on financing and even extended warranties.
- Autobytel (http://www.autobytel.com). This Web site offers a leaner inventory, but its certified used cars come with a few big differences. Car prices are no-hassle. Every vehicle comes with at least a 3,000-mile/three-month warranty. All cars have gone through a 135-point inspection; plus if you change your mind within 72 hours, there's a no-questions-asked return policy.
- Cars.com (http://www.cars.com). This used car database is linked up with dozens of newspapers, making it the Web's version of automobile classifieds.
- Ford PreOwned (http://www.fordpreowned.com). The giant auto maker's site for moving late-model used cars at hassle-free prices is one of the best around. A recent look found a gorgeous '99 Contour SE with less than 10,000 miles, under a fair warranty, selling for $13,450.
Lemons and Recalls
- CarFax (http://autos.yahoo.com/carfax.html). Is that car you're eyeing a lemon--meaning its repair history says it belong in intensive care, not your driveway? Click into CarFax, enter the vehicle's 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number, and you'll know, free of charge.
- National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/recalls/recmmy1.cfm). Has the car been subject to a recall (usually to fix safety-related items)? Being involved in a recall is no big deal--millions of cars get recalled yearly--but check this government database to make sure the repairs have been performed.
Book It
Buying a used car can be a great money-saver--or a fast plunge into a money pit. Find good, precautionary reading here:
- Consumer Reports Used Cars Buying Guide ($9.99, http://www.amazon.com). Issued annually, this paperback may be the smart car buyer's bible. Filled with tips, the book also profiles 200 used cars and offers suggestions on models to avoid and ones to snag.
- The Used Car Book 1999-2000 (HarperCollins, $13.95, 800-242-7737). The subtitle of Jack Gillis' book says it all: "The definitive guide to buying a safe, reliable and economical used car." Advice is offered on more than 150 types of vehicles, along with the author's "Best Bets."

I really don't know much about micrometers but on the body it is the difference between 3.815 (know original) and 3.813 my 1111499. That would be a difference of .002The cap area is 3.800 (known original) and 3.797 my 1111499. That would be a difference of .003That seems like an incredibly close measurement to me. Could this small amount be evidence that the distributor has been turned down?Al
Kind of like beating a dead horse because it sounds like the OD hasn't been worked down, but it is important to measure across the diameter right at the stamp.

Important Information:
These are the specie-specific fish used in our formulas. Combined, they are higher in amino acid levels and bioavailability, and higher in digestibility than "Whitefish". They are also lower in ash. We use the whole fish, including the meat. Some meat meals like "Whitefish" use the head and carcass only, after the meat is removed. This results in higher bone and ash content and lower digestibility. Used in some brands, "Whitefish" is not a specific fish specie. Merriam-Webster dictionary, and the human and pet food industry define Whitefish as: "any of various market fishes with white flesh that is not oily". Brands using this less expensive, generic fish will not be consistent, bag-to-bag. The meat filleted from the carcass goes into the human food chain...the head and carcass go into other brands of pet food. Whitefish is usually preserved with ethoxyquin. The specie-specific fish used by Eagle Pack® is naturally preserved; special permits to preserve our fish naturally have been granted by the US Coast Guard (#14-95), and by the Department of Transportation (#DOT-E11693). Our fish are carefully steam cooked, not burned at 900 degrees like some fish meals. This gentle cooking improves amino acid levels and bioavailability as well as digestibility.

Fish meal as the first ingredient (see note in review)
Inclusion of beet pulp, use of egg product rather than whole eggs
The ingredient list for this food is slightly confusing. It is unclear whether anchovy, sardine and salmon meals is one ingredient, or if it is three separate ingredients each individually outweighing the first grains in the food. The latter case would be significantly better than the former. There are no further meat ingredients in the food. We note that the manufacturer guarantees the use of ethoxyquin-free meat sources.
The main grains are oatmeal, rice and barley. All are good quality sources of carbohydrates and additional protein. Menhaden oil is a good source of Omega 3 essential fatty acids.
Beet pulp is a low quality ingredient and filler. It is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required.
We appreciate the inclusion of some fruit/vegetable matter in the food, but would prefer to see the use of whole eggs rather than egg product.
Note that this product uses citric acid as a preservative and should not be moistened prior to feeding (raises the risk of bloat in large breed dogs).

OK, after the last post on MD2, if I don't show you how to create your own MD2 models I haven't done my job…so let's do it!
Making your own Quake 2 (MD2) models is a must if you are going to be successful. The process described here will work for both 3DSMax and Maya, but there are similar procedures for other modeling applications. There is both good and bad news here.
The bad news: there are lots of steps
The good news: they are all easy
It's a four step process.
Resource Files Download (3DSModels, images, MD2 files, etc…)
To make things easy, and completely understandable, we are going to YouTube our way through these four steps:
Step 1: Create Your Model
There are extensive tutorials on the book's blog on creating 3DSMax models and texture. Check them out at
So we will not repeat all that info, but just create a very simple model to demonstrate the process. Import to the process is to make sure you hit the 7 key to keep those polygons down as you build.
Step 2: Texture and Export Your Model
It's actually simpler to put a texture on a model in Blender. So here's an outline of how it's done in 3DSMax (make sure you watch the video below as well)
- After creating your model in 3DS Max, add the Unwrap UVW modifier
- After selecting your model, select Face from the Unwrap UVW modifier
- From the parameters menu (of Unwrap UVW modifier) select Edit
- From the UVWs menu (pop up) select mapping and select flatten mapping and click OK (presets should be fine)
- You should now be able to see the different sections of your house, then click on tools and select Render UVW Template
- In the Render UVs popup change the dimension appropriately (for mitmapped textures 256 or below you get hardware acceleration, but you give up resolution – so it's a trade off – just use resolution when you need it)
- Then from the Mode drop down menu choose solid and then click Render UV Template
- Your Render Map should pop up, click on the disk icon to save this map to your hardrive for editing in Photoshop, Gimp, or your favorite image editor (defaults should be OK when saving image to hardrive)
- After editing your texture map and saving it (in this instance I saved it as a png since that format works well in Flex), from the Edit UVWs popup choose Pick Texture from the UV drop down box and the Material/Map Browser popup will appear.
- From the Material/Map Browser select Bitmap and navigate to and select your image. Your image should appear in the Edit UVWs window overlay (as in Blender use this window to edit your image position).
- Now place your texture on your house by hitting the m-key, select the first sphere, click the button next to the diffuse label. And your Material/Map Browser will popup, choose bitmap and navigate to and select your image. That image will now appear on your sphere.
- Drag the image from the sphere to your house. Click the "Show Standard Map in Viewport" button to see the uv map on your house (or do a quick render to see it).
- Click the export button from the file menu and choose the 3D Studio (*.3DS) format , name your file, and click save
- Choose Preserve MAX's Texture Coordinates and Click OK.
Step 3: Prepare Your Model in MilkShape
You can download MilkShape 3D and a MD2 Viewer from
The steps for creating a MD2 model for PV3D starting with 3DSMax (or Maya) are as follows:
- After creating your model in 3DSMax (or Maya)
- Export it as a 3ds file (fdx file)
- Import this file into MilkShape by choosing Autodesk 3DS… (or Maya)
- Click the model tab, then the joint button and insert a joint by clicking on a vertex of your model
- Select all vertices (control a)
- Go to the joints tab and click assign
- Check to make sure animation is correct (single frame for no animation)
- Export as an MD2 file (ignore the no md3.qc warning not loading into quake)
- Check it out using the MD2 model viewer found on the MilkShape site or the PV3D viewer provided on the book's website.
Step 4: Export to PV3D Model Viewer
After exporting to the MD2 format, change the markers XML data to include the pertinent resources, and upload those resources (xml data, MD2, image, and zip file) to your server. In an upcoming chapter, we will show you how to create an Air viewer.
In a previous post on
PV3D Quake 2 (MD2) Model Viewer and Download
we demonstrated a Papervision3D Viewer. You'll now load that viewer with the model you created previously.
You made it! Lots of steps, but the process is pretty fast. I can get through it in about 30 minutes, but my designers take a couple of hours. Of course, that's why their designs rock!!!

March 28, 2008
Nashville, TN - The Lady Bisons narrowly lost to Florida Gulf Coast 4-3 in the first half of the doubleheader this evening at Draper Diamond.
The A-Sun Game of the Week featured a back and forth battle between the top two teams in the league.
Florida Gulf Coast went up first in the top of the third inning when the Lady Bisons loaded the bases and allowed Eagle freshman Courtney Platt to score unearned.
The Lady Bisons tied the game with two outs in the bottom of the inning, when senior shortstop Sarah Simons reached on a walk and scored when sophomore shortstop Abby Keese laid down an RBI double off the left field fence.
In the top of the next inning the Eagles would again load the bases allowing pinch runner Paige Raulerson to score from third when LeeAnne McDowell, pinch hitting for centerfielder Jessica Gary grounded out to second base.
The Eagles gave the Lady Bisons two more runs in the second half of the inning when sophomore third baseman Kellie Sirus, scored on an error by the Eagle first baseman and wo batters latter, senior catcher Jenn Allsup hit an RBI single to the pitcher to score senior first baseman Heather Collins.
Eagle third baseman Cheyenne Jenks tied the game again with a lead off home run in the top of the fifth
Eagle short stop Jessica Paez added a solo home run to go up 4-3 over the Lady Bisons in the top of the sixth inning, and the Lady Bisons were unable to put together anything else.
Heather Collins finished the game two for two with one run, and senior catcher Jennifer Allsup went two for three with an RBI. Abby Keese, Kellie Sirus, and MacKenzie Tucker would each pick up a hit for a total of seven hits for the Lady Bisons.
Inclement weather in the area forced game two of the double header to be postponed tentatively till 12 p.m. Sunday.
The Lady Bisons (13-17, 5-2 A-Sun) take on Stetson in a doubleheader at 1 p.m. on Saturday.

Team 26 rolls from Newtown to Washington
WASHINGTON -- Connecticut lawmakers greeted the "bike messengers'' of Team 26 in front of the U.S. Capitol with a pledge to keep fighting for expanded background checks and other proposals to control gun violence, no matter how long it takes.
"Ultimately, nothing changes in this country unless Washington changes, and we have learned that the brick wall of the gun lobby is tough and it is difficult to overcome,'' said Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn. "But if Congress isn't going to change, then the people have the ability, every two years, to change Congress."
For the second year in a row, the bicyclists of Team 26 rode the 400 miles between Newtown and the nation's capital to promote their quest for changes in federal gun laws, including the expansion of background checks to sales at gun shows, and a ban on particular types of military-style semiautomatic rifles.
The team left Newtown on Saturday and stopped in Harlem, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Baltimore before concluding the ride in Washington and appearing at a news conference Tuesday on the Capitol's West Lawn.
Their organizer, Monte Frank, of Newtown, said the 26 cyclists -- a number representing the 20 children and six adults killed in the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14, 2012 -- were "bike messengers'' between the majority of Americans who, according to polls, favor expanded background checks, and Congress.
"Here's the message: Put politics aside and get it done to protect our children and allow their dreams to be pursued,'' said Frank, dressed in the team's biker outfit with a green shirt bearing the 1960s-vintage ban-the-bomb symbol, "peace,'' and "Team 26.''
In keeping with the athletic challenge of cycling the long distance to Washington, several of the speakers referred to goal of changing federal gun laws as "a marathon, not a sprint.''
A bipartisan compromise measure introduced by Sens. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Pat Toomey, R-Pa., fell six votes short of breaking a Senate filibuster last year. Although lawmakers have pledged to bring it up again, the chances may be dampened by the midterm 2014 elections. Democrats control the Senate 55-45 and six Democratic incumbents are running this year in pro-gun states such as West Virginia, Louisiana and Arkansas that President Barack Obama didn't carry in 2012.
"We're still pushing the rock up the hill,'' said Brian Malte, senior national policy director for the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. "Whether it's this Congress, the next Congress or the Congress after, we're going to stay the course until this happens.''
Lawmakers were not shy about pointing the finger of blame at themselves.
"It is shameful that Congress has refused to act, despite the overwhelming support of the American people,'' said Rep. Elizabeth Esty, D-Conn.
Nevertheless, she said, "we will keep on fighting, for however long it takes, so our children will have the freedom to walk down the street, to play in a park, to learn in a classroom without the fear of gun violence.''
In an email after the Capitol news conference, a spokesman for the National Rifle Association insisted it is the gun-control side that is unwilling to bend.
"These legislators had a chance to meaningfully improve our nation's mental health laws as they relate to firearms, but they opted join Mike Bloomberg and President Obama and play politics with this very important issue,'' said NRA spokesman Andrew Arulanandam.
, referring to efforts to make it more difficult for persons with mental illness to obtain guns. "Regrettably, they chose politics over substantive reform.''

China Investment Corp. is among three large funds vying to take a stake in Australian dairy producer Van Diemen's Land Co., or VDL, two people familiar with the matter say.
Executives from China's US$482 billion fund are due to visit Tasmania state in February for further discussions over investing in the company, which is seeking to raise 180 million Australian dollars (US$189 million) to expand its milk production, the people said.
VDL Chief Executive Michael Guerin told Deal Journal Australia the company had signed agreements for three large funds to conduct due diligence, but declined to confirm whether CIC was among them. All three have put in proposals featuring varying amounts of equity and debt, and he expects to finalize the deal by the middle of the year, he added.

Rethink/revamp Featured Questions on home page
Featuring unanswered questions on the home page may be a sincere attempt at transparency, also intended to build the nanoHUB economy; however, featuring questions that are not answered (especially after a good lapse of time is posted) merely raises a concern whether nanoHUB & its community _really_ answers questions that are submitted by users… AND whether that economy of points-for-answers is at all robust.
If there is a great question, and it is sufficiently answered by someone, by all means feature those questions on the home page for everyone's benefit, and then create some mechanism for displaying unanswered questions in a centralized space, perhaps?? The home page could then advertise this alternate space to users who DO utilize the nanopoints system and they could go to such a space, scan the list of unanswered questions, and zing off a few answers to earn a few points…
In my view, unanswered questions (especially old ones) serve to question the veracity of the nanoHUB economy, especially with new users who don't understand the system yet.

It was a fine morning but looked like it might turn to rain by the afternoon. I found myself with the day to myself and no real plans, so even though it was a bit late to start such an excursion, I decided to go hiking. After leaving through a guide on my way to the car, I decided to try a hike called Stairway to Heaven, just south of Harriman State Park and the Hudson Highlands, on the New York-New Jersey border. It looked to be a fairly easy drive to a hike that, the trailhead being out int he middle of nowhere, probably wouldn't be too terribly crowded.
Most of the Stairway to Heaven trail is part of the much longer Appalachian Trail, and the name of this section comes from the long, steep series of rocks and boulders you have to negotiate in order to get to the top. But it starts off innocently enough, in the middle of a flat field — one of the very few stretches of AT to cross such terrain and doubtless a welcome respite for thru-hikers from the usual "straight up the mountain, then strait down" ruggedness of the trail. There is a parking lot that can hold six or seven cars. When I pulled in, early afternoon, there was one other car already there. The first stretch of trail is nice and relaxing, meandering through high grass and wild flowers before plunging into that amazing sort of forest where you expect to see trolls and nymphs lingering about. The woods are strewn with giant boulders which would probably make for some good boulder, but at the time I was on the trail, I was not yet into climbing and so haven't really done a proper assessment. Whatever the case, you should enjoy the shade and relative coolness of this stretch, because things get vertical really fast.
After passing by the largest of the boulders, the white-blazed trail heads straight up the side of a small but steep mountain, forcing you to take the "stairway," which is really just a series of boulders, outcrops, and ledges, some a higher step than others, a few requiring you to pull yourself up. But for the most part, the entire trail is suitable for hiking without the need for climbing skills. It's just strenuous. And prone to population by snakes. In fact, in all my hikes, including many out west, this is the only place where I've come face to face with a rattlesnake. Well, by face to face, I mean I heard him from a distance, managed to locate it, and then went way the hell out of my way so as not to provoke it. However, not five minutes later, as I was walking up the remainder of the "stairs," a common garter snake slithered out and over my foot and caused a mighty howl and explosion of what I like to call "oh shit!" dancing.
After a mighty climb, the trail levels out and winds its way up to a short and worthwhile blue-blazed side-trail that leads to an open outcrop and magnificent view of the surrounding forest and farmland. You could actually end the hike here — the top is wooded, and side trails to other points afford more or less the same view — and it would be an excellent and hard-won picnic spot. I chose to continue. Returning along the blue blazed side trail to the main trail, it's only a short distance to the actual top, where you will find a mailbox containing a weather-beaten Appalachian Trail journal and register and, more than likely, a fair number of spiders.
From here, there are several options for hike extensions. You could, for instance, continue along the white blazed AT until you reached either Georgia or Maine, depending on your direction. But it was already late in the day, and my chances of reaching Maine before nightfall, with only a small Camelback and a Clif Bar in the way of equipment, was unlikely. I did, however, take a right-leading trail that terminates at another magnificent view, though the going gets confusing in some spots and required that I backtrack to find the proper way again. But it was worth the effort, as it rewarded me with another spectacular view, an eagle's nest with accompanying (and unfriendly) eagle, and the remains of an old stone wall. From there, it's possible to follow old, unmaintained trails to create a circuit back to the parking area, but I wasn't prepared for a bushwack on uncertain trails so late in the day and with storm clouds rolling in. So I took the more normal route, which is to come back the way you came.
It's not really repetitive, since the woods at dusk were entirely different than the woods in late afternoon. And the deadly snakes had been replaced by deer and something I am going to assume was a bear, though I'm pretty sure it was actually a small boulder. I hit the parking area at precisely the same moment the skies opened up and let loose with a tremendous amount of rain.
All in all, an excellent hike, and perfect for people looking for something with great views and some strenuous going without demanding much in the the way of technical skill. Just be sure not to slip and fall backward while going up the trail, because there's nothing waiting for you but a lot of rocks. I went back a short time later with a partner and saw a few more people (and no rattlesnakes, though there were several non0venomous varieties sunning themselves). As soon as I have a free weekend, I intend to go back up and see what the bouldering is like. Just have to watch out for trolls.
Stairway to Heaven is located where the Kittatinnies of New Jersey start to turn into the Catskills of New York. From the city, I took I-287 to Route 23 West, turned right on 515 until it merged with Route 94. The parking area is easy to miss, as the entrance is tiny and you'll likely be zooming along. It's in the middle of a field, so your best landmark is a small sign for the Appalachian Trail and an accompany set of rickety wooden stairs that help hikers negotiate a fence. On the opposite side of the road from that is the parking area and trailhead for the hike you want to do. If you pass by a large farming complex, you went too far.

From the six-shooters of the Old West's outlaws to the weapons used by assassins, this is a dramatic look at the guns that changed history.
There are guns that have earned a place in history for their innovations--breakthrough weapons that advanced the science of firearms. There are others, however, that secured fame through their use--the guns that have killed presidents, started wars and starred in legendary showdowns in frontier towns.
INFAMOUS GUNS is a dramatic look at the guns that fired bullets that changed the course of history. Explore the stories of the weapons used by the gunmen who killed Kennedy, Lincoln, McKinley and Garfield. Discover which guns started wars, killing the Archduke Ferdinand and firing \"the shot heard \'round the world.\" James Nottage, curator of the Autrey Museum of Western Heritage, shows off significant weapons from the Old West, while collectors and scholars talk of the appeal and allure of the individual guns that are most prized by aficionados.
It\'s a fascinating profile of the INFAMOUS GUNS that blasted their way into history.

There was no fairy tale for Luis Cruz this year, only frustration.
Unable to break out of his season-long slump, Cruz was dropped from the Dodgers' roster Friday, as the team designated him for assignment. The third baseman's place on the roster went to outfielder Scott Van Slyke, who was reinstated from the 15-day disabled list.
Cruz hit .127 with one home run and six runs batted in in 45 games. He couldn't recapture the magic of last season, when he went from being a career minor leaguer to batting .297 in 45 games with the Dodgers.
"Louie just got caught in a box this year," Manager Don Mattingly said. "He struggled early. Trying to get him at-bats after that got tougher."
Cruz started at third base on opening day, but eventually lost his position to a resurgent Juan Uribe. Once serenaded by the crowd with calls of, "Cruuuuuz," he was suddenly the target of boos.
But Mattingly said, "It's not necessarily the end of the road for Louie here."
The Dodgers have 10 days to waive, trade or release Cruz. If he isn't claimed on waivers by another team or traded, he could accept an assignment with the Dodgers on their triple-A affiliate. If Cruz fails to land with another major league team, he is undecided whether he would remain with the Dodgers as a minor leaguer or elect to become a free agent, according to his agent.
"The No. 1 wish for anybody that you designate is that they go to the big leagues," Mattingly said. "I'd rather see him in the big leagues than anywhere. If he doesn't end up in the big leagues with someone, then you hope he ends up in Albuquerque, where he'll have a chance to get some swings."
Crawford nears return
Carl Crawford could return from the disabled list as early as July 5 when the Dodgers open a three-game series in San Francisco.
Crawford has been on the disabled list with a strained left hamstring since June 2. He was batting .301 when he was injured.
Crawford is scheduled to start a four-game minor league rehab assignment Sunday with Class-A Rancho Cucamonga as a designated hitter, according to Mattingly. Ted Lilly, who is sidelined because of a strained neck, is supposed to pitch in that game.
Crawford is expected to play in left field Monday and Tuesday. He will be the designated hitter again Wednesday.
If he comes out of the four-game assignment without any problems, he will rest Thursday and rejoin the Dodgers for the start of their series against the Giants on Friday.
When Crawford returns, the Dodgers will have four players sharing playing time in three outfield positions: Crawford, Yasiel Puig, Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier.
As for Lilly, Mattingly was noncommittal when asked whether he would rejoin the rotation when healthy. Lilly said he expects to throw around 80 pitches Sunday.
Short hops
Van Slyke will provide the Dodgers with a power bat off the bench and could start against left-handed pitchers, Mattingly said. Van Slyke went on the disabled list June 11 with left shoulder inflammation. … Adrian Gonzalez will make an appearance at the Viva Los Dodgers festivities Sunday. The event will start at 11 a.m. in parking lot 6.

now i know dreams are not prophetic, but they can be representative of the subconcious/non-verbal mind. so i'm gonna post a dream i had and ask for discussion if that's okay.
I had a dream last night, i was tied with my hands above my head, in a run-down shack. I was being flogged by a dirty old red-neck while he
and two others made fun of me and laughed at horrific things happening on a TV. He was not only standing and flogging me but sitting on a
couch with the others, in two places at once. One of the other two was a smaller version of the man and the last was invisible. In front of the
three of them were place settings that were in order, a rat, a teddy bear, and a puppy, and they were all alive, pinned through what was left of
their abdomens, on their back to the table. I say "what was left of", because their bellies had been scooped out, cooked, and replaced. They were
all in obvious distress as the men ate of them, but the rat was attempting to eat what was in his belly, the teddy bear was playing with it, and
i'm not sure what the puppy was doing. They offered some to me and when i was repulsed they laughed harder and began flogging me again.
At some point i began trying to escape. In order to do so i turned into a woman, not sure why or how but i did and i was naked running
through an office building and when i got ahead enough, i ducked into an office and i knew the lock would keep him out. And i also knew that
when i was discovered in the morning may nakedness could be explained by what had happened to me. Then i woke up.

I've been watching documentaries about economic theory lately.
This one is interesting.
I don't like the reference to the (biblical) four horseman, but it is interesting none the less and is worth watching to see a different narrative than the one seen on national news.
Four Horsemen.
Published on Sep 13, 2013
FOUR HORSEMEN is an award winning independent feature documentary which lifts the lid on how the world really works.
As we will never return to 'business as usual' 23 international thinkers, government advisors and Wall Street money-men break their silence and explain how to establish a moral and just society.
FOUR HORSEMEN is free from mainstream media propaganda -- the film doesn't bash bankers, criticise politicians or get involved in conspiracy theories. It ignites the debate about how to usher a new economic paradigm into the world which would dramatically improve the quality of life for billions.
"It's Inside Job with bells on, and a frequently compelling thesis thanks to Ashcroft's crack team of talking heads -- economists, whistleblowers and Noam Chomsky, all talking with candour and clarity." - Total Film
"Four Horsemen is a breathtakingly composed jeremiad against the folly of Neo-classical economics and the threats it represents to all we should hold dear."
- Harold Crooks, The Corporation (Co-Director) Surviving Progress (Co-Director/Co-Writer)

It might not help with your dream, but is interesting none the less.
i always ignore people who try to sell me stuff. sorry if this is rude, but i was looking for a psychological discussion about dreams. I've read some Carl Jung and also Simund Freud but i'm not well educated in this relm that i have great interest in and love discussing. each of these psychoanalists had interesting things to say about dreams and i would like to explore what the community thinks on this subject. do you have an interesting angle on the dream i described? have you had a dream that was interesting and told you more about yourself? would you like to know how i read my dream? am i in the wrong place to discuss this altogether?

I thought the book was interesting because I like adventures. I liked it when they were looking for a broom and they found strange markings on the wall. That was one of my favorite parts.
The unique thing about the story are the journeys. They have a lot of journeys. They see the deer walking on the trail. They have to walk home in a foot of snow. These are all journeys. Some happen to just the boys, some happen to just the girls, and some happen to all of them. This book is part of the Boxcar Children series. It's similar to the other Boxcar Children books because all of them are mysteries. All the stories take place somewhere different and there are always new characters.
I felt like I was actually with them the whole time. From the time they found the broom to every time they had walked to the store. It made me think about a couple of times when I went camping and I got caught in a storm. Benny interests me the most because he is always hungry and always curious and asks a lot of questions.
I do recommend this book because it is not a hard book to read and it is really interesting. People that like mystery and adventure books should read this book. I think the characters will interest readers the most because they are all really interesting.

Heritage AuctionsI'm struck by the very simple attire, his solid pullover and cap (without the later the "GB" logo). In just a few seasons, he would introduce the team's first helmet logo and change the Packers' branding forever.
Looking past the Coach, you can see two players walking in the background.
They appear to be wearing the dark blue-green and gold uniforms of Vince's predecessor:
The Packers had a 1-10-1 record in 1958, their last year in those uniforms. 1959 brought a new coach, who brought a new attitude and new uniforms to boot.
Standing next to Lombardi on that late-summer day in 1959, I don't think any Packer Backer could have conceived of the changes in store for the once-proud franchise.

Anthony Mackie Says Falcon Will Fly in 'Captain America 2′
Anthony Mackie is on a roll. The actor has appeared in eight movies over the last two years (including the just-released 'Gangster Squad'), and has four more due out in 2013. In 2014, he'll play in front of his largest audience yet as The Falcon in 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier'.
Mackie recently revealed a few minor but exciting details about his character and you can read all about them after the break.
Naturally, Mr. Mackie is not about to give up a ton of info regarding his turn as Falcon, but what he did say will be to the delight of comic book fans everywhere. Mackie told Aint It Cool News:
I will have wings. I will be able to fly. I will be a superhero and fight people, namely The Winter Soldier.
Yes, Falcon will actually be flying around and assisting his pal Steve Rogers as they take on The Winter Soldier (aka Bucky Barnes, portrayed once again by Sebastian Stan). However, it's unclear whether or not he'll have his trusty bird sidekick Redwing. (Mackie is asked but he doesn't answer.)
Mackie also noted that he was not a comic book geek growing up, and that the preparation for the character was mostly done online.
It was funny; a lot of the research I found was online. My older brother was a huge comic book buff. So when the news came out online, he called me and just gave me the whole rundown. Luckily, I have a lot of friends who weren't cool growing up, but who are really cool now, so they read a lot of comic books. So I would just call and ask them, and they would send me all of this stuff online, and I got to read a bunch of the old comic books. It's fortunate, because it's a take off the comic book, it's not the exactly storyline of the comic book.
We'll see Falcon in action once 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' hits theaters on April 4, 2014.
