Jets' Todd Bowles raises eyebrows with comments on punctuality
"Sometimes you're late to work. It's life," the Jets coach said, referring to episodes with Sheldon Richardson and Muhammad Wilkerson. Is that enough?
"Sometimes you're late to work. It's life," the Jets coach said, referring to episodes with Sheldon Richardson and Muhammad Wilkerson. Is that enough?
Spending top dollar for a free agent isn't the way the Patriots typically do business, but that's just what they did in signing Stephon Gilmore.
Which free-agent move in the division was most surprising? The Cowboys' lack of moves is interesting, but Terrelle Pryor to Redskins was unexpected.
The latest notes, updates and analysis on the Knicks from around the web.
Brent Burns scored a power-play goal 3:10 into overtime and the San Jose Sharks snapped a six-game losing streak on the night they clinched a playoff berth, rallying past the New York Rangers 5-4
Philadelphia's win over Brooklyn leaves the Knicks (28-46) and Sixers in a tie for the NBA's 5th-worst record. Both teams are a game 'behind' Orlando (27-47) in the tanking standings.
It's once again time to break down every color change, every patch and everything else you will see on the diamond this season.
Dario Saric scored 23 points, Robert Covington had 21 points and 13 rebounds and the undermanned Philadelphia 76ers beat the Brooklyn Nets 106-101 on Tuesday night.
Patrik Laine scored in a shootout and the Winnipeg Jets rallied from a two-goal deficit to beat the New Jersey Devils 4-3 on Tuesday in the makeup of a game that was postponed by a snowstorm.
The Giants won't completely dismiss the concept of signing Adrian Peterson, but let's be real -- it's probably not something that will happen.
The scenario is intimately familiar to Mets fans. The club's chances will depend on the four primary starters staying off the disabled list.
Ben McAdoo says it's possible that newly signed quarterback Geno Smith could one day be Eli Manning's heir apparent with the Giants.
Giants coach Ben McAdoo holds court with reporters at the NFL annual meeting in Arizona, as Cowboys coach Jason Garrett draws a massive crowd behind him. Both coaches were expected to meet the press on Wednesday morning, but moved their session to Tuesday afternoon as the meeting ended early.
Jets head coach Todd Bowles, whose background is on defense, will make his presence felt on offense in 2017 -- both during the week and on game day.
Whatever his role, it looks as if right-hander Robert Gsellman has earned on spot on the New York Mets' pitching staff.
The Jets added depth along their entire offensive line by signing former Colts center Jonotthan Harrison.
The impressive young pitchers in New York's system aren't ready to ride to the rescue of an unstable rotation.
The New York Yankees likely will bat power-hitting catcher Gary Sanchez second in their lineup at the start of the season.
Brian Windhorst, Tom Haberstroh, Tim MacMahon and Tim Bontemps on the Cavs struggles, Sam Hinkie rumors in Sacramento, Joakim Noah, Kobe and Devin Booker's 70.
"The Diary of Myles Thomas" is an experiment in storytelling, a genre we're calling real-time historical fiction. Experience the Roaring Twenties through the eyes of a mediocre pitcher on the greatest baseball team of all time.

And if it doesnt happen then you can be sure a few other members will do the same thing. Personally I think its inevitable. Sony made some mistakes this gen but I like how they create new ips and exclusives all the way through the end of this gen and have kept their online service free. For that alone I think Sony deserves to pass the 360 in WW sales. And I'm saying that as somebody who prefers the 360.

Yours was the very first response. It said...
"Finally, lol"
So, obviously you believed it right off the bat, and you only changed your mind when a few reasonable people pointed out how far fetched it really was. Now you're just trying to CYA so you don't look quite so foolish as your initial post proves you are.
Revenue and profit wasn't even close this generation. MS made billions in profits, Sony lost billions, Nintendo started out making large profits but has been taking losses on the Wii for more than a year now.Last edited by Completely Average; 01-11-2013 at 05:33.

I don't think its that far fetched, its just not in any way official.

So the PS3 sold less than 700k in the US in all of December. So I am interested to see where the 7 million unit increase came from. The PS3 also did about 700k in all of November as well. Japan, the PS3 in the first half of December was 78,000. I found one week of sales for November and it was 18,000. So lets double the December numbers to 150k, and lets quadruple the November numbers to 72,000.
So that is 1.6 million units shipped between November to December. We know that IDC claims a 7 million unit improvement by the end of December, and Sony released 70 million shipped as of November 4. So that means Europe and PAL territories shipped about 5.4 million units in those two months.
Keep in mind that just 3 weeks ago Sony stated that they sold 30 million in Europe and all other PAL territories combined since the console has been released.
Should be interesting to see how IDC spins this...as well as spins the 6 million console improvement from the 360, which didn't happen either, lol.

MS is one of the most profitable companies in the world. They have 68 billion cash on hand. Sony is headed for bankruptcy if they don't change their corporate culture. IMO they need to abandon the PS3 and PSV so they can refocus on the PS4. They can't afford to release a year after MS again.
01-11-2013 #66
You have to hand it to Sony though. Coming from a year behind this is quite an achievement. Or should I say trophy?
Greatness Awaits
01-11-2013 #67
Awesome news, people have realised what a fantastic machine the ps3 is! well done sony!
01-11-2013 #68
As long as America stands MS will rise so what? As a proud ps3 user, I don't think I will leave sony, actually i wish sony to win not because I am a sony fanboy but because they have games , real games!
Like this!
But ms guys are lucky too, they surely will get their halo 100 around 2100 !!!! YaY !!

You know as long as Japan exists, Sony will gain ground
As for your games comment, I dont buy just exclusives. But when there weren't many game in the first three years of the birth of these system. Only one company made sure we had awesome games to play.
PS It wasn't Sony. i hope this changes
Next gen.

If Sony doesn't put out the PS4 this year when MS releases its new 16 core (with 2 threads per core) console then they didn't learn the lesson from the PS3. Had they released the PS3 in 2005 they wouldn't FINALLY be passing the 360's sales at a time when new games will start winding down. They should abandon. The Vita.

«Taking into consideration current peculiarities of Chinese architecture of the Global Net, the whole problematique of the Dubai conference could easily turn out to be irrelevant for Beijing. The country already copes with successful development of national internet segment without any influence by the ITU and with gradually decreasing impact by ICANN. Thus, it's quite premature to regard China by default as a mighty ally of Russia when it comes to transforming the global architecture of the internet" – Michael Yakushev, Chair of PIR Center Executive Board.
"Nunn-Lugar is the foundation for the vision that I laid out, once I was elected President, in travel to Prague. Russia has said that our current agreement hasn't kept pace with the changing relationship between our countries. To which we say, let's update it. Let's work with Russia as an equal partner. Let's continue the work that's so important to the security of both our countries. And I'm optimistic that we can." – Barack Obama, President of the United States.
"We are thinking about how the potential of modern open source information technologies including online geolocation services and social networks could be applied to enhance international cooperation, strengthen confidence-building measures and improve quality of monitoring in the field of arms control," – U.S. Under Secretary Rose Gottemoeller.
"The signs are ominous at the moment, there are rumblings that he 2012 Conference on a WMD-Free Zone in the Middle East will not take place. And I think this is going to be a major set-back. Which is why I think my talking to you today is particularly timely, because I think there is an opportunity for Russia to use its considerable international influence in order to prevent the breakdown because if we do not have this meeting this December I fear that we are storing up trouble for ourselves and for the NPT for 2015", – Ambassador Jayantha Dhanapala, President of the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs.
"More due to the fact that the five nuclear-weapon states is clearly reluctant to use nuclear wepons and some of the others (declared or not) are dependent upon one of the P5, the U.S.A. or China in a variety of ways. Some time the dependence is related to nuclear release, some time it is due to a much broader array of matters that create dependency. Accidental use has also become less likely since the high-flying concerns of loose nukes in the 1990s", - Head of the International Security Program of the Geneva Center for Security Policy, Pál Dunay.
"With President Obama we have passed the stage known as the U.S.-Russia "Reset", and we did it quite well. Yes, these aren't taintless, easy bilateral relations, but there is no perceived crisis as well. We have good dialogue on certain issues, and tough dialogue on other ones. In general the dynamics of these relations is pretty high. I think that if Romney is elected, Russia would manage to build such kind of relations that enables proper dialogue. Suffice to say that for Soviet Union and Russia it was usually easier to speak to Republicans rather than to Democrats. There's such a historic trend." – PIR Center President Vladimir Orlov.
«The intriguing plot around the future host of the White House for the next several years is unveiling right now – and the outcome is not clear yet neither for myself, nor for our reviewers Dmitry Evstafiev и Yury Fedorov, who have devoted a number of pages to the results of the Washington pre-election fight, nor for our polemists Christopher Ford and Thomas Graham who observe the developments of the campaign from the inside and express support their candidates — Ford to Romney, Graham to Obama», — writes Vladimir Orlov, the editor-in-chief of Security Index journal in his editorial.
"After 20 years, we still live in a world with growing nuclear risks. Expectations of enhanced global security after the end of the Cold War gave way quite soon to a gradual tightening in the positions of some major international actors, while new states became nuclear-armed ones. In addition, nuclear terrorism almost impossible to deter, has emerged as a very tangible threat. Today we can say that the world is much more complex and uncertain than at the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis. There are still nuclear weapons stockpiles totaling 20.000, many on high alert, deployed in 14 countries", - Founder and Chair of the Nonproliferation for Global Security Foundation, Irma Arguello.
"Autumn of 1962 when the Caribbean crisis erupted was the most terrible period of modern history. It was the time when the world faced the threat of nuclear war. Mutual nuclear destruction of two opposing superpowers has never been so real and inevitable. The Cuban missile crisis showed how close the world came to a nuclear exchange between the two over armed superpowers. Despite the past 50 years since that horrific US-Soviet confrontation in Cuba the world has not become more stable. As long as nuclear weapons exist, the world will be a very insecure place", - Ambassador (ret.), High Representative of the United Nations for Disarmament Affairs (2007-2012), Sergio Duarte.
"Even nowadays, in Tehran or elsewhere, the lesson of Cuban missile crisis is well learnt: if it smells real, not newspaper trouble, Russians and Americans would arrange it between themselves, behind closed doors, with no reflections with regard to betraying their friends. Indeed, in modern international relations just as half a century ago there is no place for such categories as friends. Everything is defined by interests, and is there an interest stronger than survival?" – Vladimir Orlov, President of PIR Center.

Pics - Savage Run: Energy SL Varsity, Shanti Crops, Double Back Tank
Photo of the Shanti crops cinched (meh) and uncinched (cute). I have to try these on and hope they get repriced because $86 is too high for non-technical cotton crops.
Finally, a photo of a color other than the green Double Back tank. It looks kind of cute with the Layer Me bra under it but I would have chosen something besides black. The green tank might not have looked so bad with a green bra under it but I don't think a Flow Y looks that great with this tank. I like how Lululemon demonstrated the tank without anything underneath it:
It might look cute as a beach coverup with a bikini top under it.

wish the savage energy were the tank not the ss. i have a few of the tanks and love them (plain and with writing) but the short sleeve one is really constricting in the armpits on me - a really awkward and uncomfortable fit. I think the shorts are savage/white horizontal stripe tracker shorts - they were on the website earlier. As much as I adore savage, I thought that version of the striped shorts was very ugly.
- June 12, 2010 at 3:19 PM
@ pilatesmom: I agree, I found the energy ss constricting in some areas, and loose in others, as well as the 'V' was way too low on me. I like the look of it - but on someone else. I have the tank in coal/lime varsity and absolutely love it.

love the new layout you have :)

I love it too -- pretty

Glad you like the new look. Blogger added a bunch of new options and I was playing around. I know I find it jarring when a blog I read regularly changes its look so I was aprehensive about making a change.
I would think if a short sleeve run top comes out in Savage, the sleeveless is coming, too. I don't think there has yet been a color in one style without the same color as the other. - June 13, 2010 at 10:35 AM
don't think I like the double back tank....looks saggy in the back but will have to try it on, I don't like to judge a book by it's cover....or clothing by a picture!
no offense, but don't like the new layout....the colour is almost blinding and very overwelming. It makes the screen difficult to look at and distracts from the pictures and your commentaries. - June 13, 2010 at 5:48 PM
- LuluAddict said...
@ anon - Thanks for the feedback. I'll try to tone down the brightness. I kind of like the red because it mimics lululemon's logo.
- June 13, 2010 at 9:03 PM
I agree that the orange is a bit bright~almost blinding. Love your blog and all the info you have on lulu.

Natsume sent over a list of E3 games and it had a few surprises like Harvest Moon: My Little Shop. It's a localized version of Harvest Moon Series: Ranch Story which Marvelous released on WiiWare a few weeks ago.
In this Harvest Moon game players run a store and play mini-games to make juice and paint Easter Eggs. Natsume plans to have the English version ready for release this year.
The most unexpected game Natsume is bringing to the show is Squishy Tank. We mentioned the Nintendo DS puzzle game last yaer under the name Touch de Taikyaku Yawaraka Sensha. This game is actually based on a Japanese online cartoon show which makes it a rather unusual pick up. Good to see Natsume diversifying beyond Harvest Moon with games like Squishy Tank, Afrika, and Yumi's Odd Odyssey. Oh wait a second, whatever happened to the localized version of Umihara Kawase Portable it's not on Natsume's list…
Here's what Natsume is bringing to the show:
Adventures To Go (PSP)

Money can be used to purchase new licensed cameras and equipment, all of which behave just like their real-world counterparts.

The game's story mode takes players on an adventure through school as they try to work their way up to star cheerleader!

Harvest Moon: Animal Parade (Wii)
In Harvest Moon: Animal Parade, a divine tree which once stood in the middle of the Harvest Goddess' pond has begun to weaken, the creatures are beginning to leave the land, and the five bells have lost their power. Only the strength of the Harvest King can help revive the earth and bring the tree back to life. It's up to the player to ring the five bells, bring the Harvest King back to the island, and help revive the Goddess' tree and the land.

If something isn't done soon, the once-tranquil island will be buried in an avalanche of vegetables! It's up to the players to solve the mystery of this produce predicament as they try to tame the crops and gather as many vegetables as they can. Set in the world of the recent DS hit Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness, Harvest Moon: Frantic Farming continues the tale of the island and its residents. Players can choose from 12 playable characters, each with their own unique story. See how the mystery unfolds from each character's perspective, and who they meet along the way.

I must take issue with your article âFrom Jill to Jadenâ (Dec. 30).
I guess it was a matter of time before you âcame outâ and joined the media frenzy to support the gay community.
The Press-Enterprise quotes Erma Bombeck on the editorial page â" âWhen I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left and could say, âI used everything you gave meâ â â" but also promotes a sex change on the front page.
The gay community is a tiny fraction of the nationâs population. Why do we need to know about a personâs sexual choices on the front page?
If The Press-Enterprise is reporting on a transgender personâs rights, then it should do so without sensationalizing a community that uses bullying tactics on those who do not agree with it.

NIDA InfoFacts HeroinJuly 2008 Heroin is a synthetic opiate drug that is highly addictive. It is made from morphine, a naturally occurring substance extracted from the seed pod of the Asian opium poppy plant. Heroin usually appears as a white or brown powder or as a black sticky substance, known as "black tar heroin." How is Heroin Abused?Heroin can be injected, snorted/sniffed, or smoked -- routes of administration that rapidly deliver the drug to the brain. Injecting is the use of a needle to release the drug directly into the bloodstream. Snorting is the process of inhaling heroin powder through the nose, where it is absorbed into the bloodstream through the nasal tissues. Smoking involves inhaling heroin smoke into the lungs. All three methods of administering heroin can lead to addiction and other severe health problems. How Does Heroin Affect the Brain?Heroin enters the brain, where it is converted to morphine and binds to receptors known as opioid receptors. These receptors are located in many areas of the brain (and in the body), especially those involved in the perception of pain and in reward. Opioid receptors are also located in the brain stem -- important for automatic processes critical for life, such as breathing, blood pressure, and arousal. Heroin overdoses frequently involve a suppression of respiration. With regular heroin use, tolerance develops. This means the abuser must use more heroin to achieve the same intensity of effect. Eventually, chemical changes in the brain can lead to addiction. What Other Adverse Effects Does Heroin Have on Health?Heroin abuse is associated with serious health conditions, including fatal overdose, spontaneous abortion, and -- particularly in users who inject the drug -- infectious diseases, including HIV/AIDS and hepatitis. Chronic users may develop collapsed veins, infection of the heart lining and valves, abscesses, and liver or kidney disease. Pulmonary complications, including various types of pneumonia, may result from the poor health of the abuser, as well as from heroin's depressing effects on respiration. In addition to the effects of the drug itself, street heroin often contains toxic contaminants or additives that can clog the blood vessels leading to the lungs, liver, kidneys, or brain, causing permanent damage to vital organs. Chronic use of heroin leads to physical dependence, a state in which the body has adapted to the presence of the drug. If a dependent user reduces or stops use of the drug abruptly, they may experience severe symptoms of withdrawal. These symptoms, which can begin as early as a few hours after the last drug administration, include restlessness, muscle and bone pain, insomnia, diarrhea and vomiting, cold flashes with goose bumps ("cold turkey"), kicking movements ("kicking the habit"), and other symptoms. Users also experience severe craving for the drug during withdrawal, precipitating continued abuse and/or relapse. Major withdrawal symptoms peak between 48 and 72 hours after the last dose and typically subside after about a week; however, some individuals may show persistent withdrawal symptoms for months. Although heroin withdrawal is considered less dangerous than alcohol or barbiturate withdrawal, sudden withdrawal by heavily dependent users who are in poor health is occasionally fatal. Heroin abuse during pregnancy, together with related factors like poor nutrition and inadequate prenatal care, has been associated with adverse consequences including low birthweight, an important risk factor for later developmental delay. If the mother is regularly abusing the drug, the infant may be born physically dependent on heroin and could suffer from serious medical complications requiring hospitalization. What Treatment Options Exist?A range of treatments exist for heroin addiction, including medications and behavioral therapies. Science has taught us that when medication treatment is integrated with other supportive services, patients are often able to stop using heroin (or other opiates) and return to stable and productive lives. Treatment often begins with medically assisted detoxification, to help patients withdraw from the drug safely. Medications such as clonidine and, now, buprenorphine can be used to help minimize symptoms of withdrawal. However, detoxification alone is not treatment and has not been shown to be effective in preventing relapse -- it is merely the first step. Medications to help prevent relapse include:
For pregnant heroin abusers, methadone maintenance combined with prenatal care and a comprehensive drug treatment program can improve many of the detrimental maternal and neonatal outcomes associated with untreated heroin abuse. Preliminary evidence suggests that buprenorphine also is a safe and effective treatment during pregnancy, although infants exposed to either methadone or buprenorphine prenatally may require treatment for withdrawal symptoms. For women who do not want or are not able to receive pharmacotherapy for their heroin addiction, detoxification from opiates during pregnancy can be accomplished with medical supervision, although potential risks to the fetus and the likelihood of relapse to heroin use should be considered. There are many effective behavioral treatments available for heroin addiction -- usually in combination with medication. These can be delivered in residential or outpatient settings. Examples are: contingency management, which uses a voucher-based system where patients earn "points" based on negative drug tests, which they can exchange for items that encourage healthy living; and cognitive-behavioral therapy, designed to help modify a patient's expectations and behaviors related to drug abuse, and to increase skills in coping with various life stressors. How Widespread is Heroin Abuse?Monitoring the Future Survey1According to the 2007 Monitoring the Future survey, there were no significant changes since 2006 in the proportion of students in 8th, 10th, and 12th grades reporting lifetime2, past-year, and past-month use of heroin overall. Heroin use has been steadily declining since the mid-1990s. Recent peaks in heroin use were observed in 1996 for 8th-graders, 1997-2000 for 10th-graders, and 2000 for 12th-graders. Annual prevalence of heroin use in 2007 dropped significantly, by between 38 percent and 40 percent, from these recent peak use years for each grade surveyed. Heroin Use by Students, 2007:
National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH)3According to the 2006 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, the number of current (past-month) heroin users in the United States increased from 136,000 in 2005 to 338,000 in 2006. The corresponding prevalence rate increased from 0.06 to 0.14 percent. There were 91,000 first-time users of heroin aged 12 or older in 2006, down from 108,000 reported in 2005. Among persons aged 12 to 49, the average age at first use of heroin was 20.7 years.

The Territory of Alabama (sometimes Alabama Territory) was an organized incorporated territory of the United States. The Alabama Territory was carved from the Mississippi Territory on August 15, 1817; lasting until December 14, 1819, when it was admitted to the Union as the twenty-second state.
The Alabama Territory[n] was designated by two interdependent Acts of Congress on March 1 and 3, 1817,[2][3] but it did not become effective until October 10, 1817.[1][4][5] The delay was due to a provision in the Congressional Act which stated that the act would only take effect if and when the western part of the Mississippi Territory were to form a state constitution and government on the road to statehood. A state constitution for Mississippi was adopted on August 15, 1817, elections were held in Sept., and the first legislative session convened in Oct.,[1] with the western part of the Mississippi Territory becoming the State of Mississippi on December 10, 1817.[6]
Located in the central area of the Alabama Territory, St. Stephens, on the Tombigbee River, was the only territorial capital. William Wyatt Bibb was the only territorial governor.
On December 14, 1819, Alabama was admitted to the union as the 22nd U.S. state,[4][7] with Bibb becoming the first state governor (1819–1820).
Territorial evolution of Alabama[edit]

- La Florida, 1565–1763
- Florida Occidental, 1783–1821
- Possession of Great Britain that would later become part of the Territory of Alabama:
- West Florida, 1763–1783
- U.S. states that ceded territorial claims that would later become part of the Territory of Alabama:
- State of South Carolina, 1787
- State of Georgia, 1802 (sold the Yazoo lands to the U.S.)
- U.S. territory with land that would later become part of the Territory of Alabama:
- Territory of Mississippi, 1798–1817

Birthday parties are like road trips: getting there is half the fun. Deciding on the theme, decorations, and activities makes the days leading up to the event seem like part of the celebration itself. It needn't be elaborate -- kids will be happy with a small party as long as they are made to feel special. Even a simple party requires planning; the sooner you start organizing, the earlier the excitement begins and the fewer details you'll have to work out on the day itself.
The birthday child will likely have ideas about the kind of party he wants, so involve him in the planning. Let your child pick the theme, help you with shopping and decorating, and take part in baking the cake. Doing so helps spread out the anticipation; that way the focus isn't on a couple of hours of a single day.
Although it might be more efficient to do it all yourself, there's pleasure in working with your child toward an important goal. Plus, he'll have the reward of enjoying with his friends the magical day he helped plan. (Print our planner and work on filling it out together.)
Pre-Party Timeline
6 Weeks Before
Choose the theme, draw up the guest list, confirm the date with your child's best friend, and reserve off-site space.
4 Weeks Before
Write out invitations; get updated class list; and decide on games, activities, and food.
3 Weeks Before
Mail invitations, purchase party goods, start homemade decorations and favors, and arrange for extra help, if needed.
1 to 2 Weeks Before
Purchase crafts supplies and favors, draw up a schedule of activities, make samples of planned crafts, and call guests who have not yet responded.
3 Days Before
Buy food.
1 to 2 Days Before
Bake the cake, decorate your home or be sure off-site supplies are gathered, and prepare make-ahead foods.
The Guest List
Whom to Invite
Make sure your child's best friend is free before you set the date. When including classmates, think "all" -- all the kids, all the boys, or all the girls -- if you want to avoid hurt feelings.
How Many to Invite
If you're not inviting lots of classmates, the rule of thumb is to ask as many kids as your child's age plus one. But take into account the activities you're planning. A larger, even number of kids -- at least eight or 10 -- may be best for team games at a 5-year-old's party, but you may want just three guests for a 7-year-old's sleepover.
Mail invitations three weeks before the party. Even if your child's school permits distribution of invitations on the premises (many don't unless the whole class is included), it's better not to. That way, children who aren't invited are less likely to feel slighted.
1. Include the date, location (with directions), drop-off and pick-up times, and R.S.V.P. information.
2. Spell out anything to bring, such as a swimsuit and towel.
3. Say if you'll be serving lunch or dinner.
4. Mention specific entertainment, such as a movie.
5. Call parents who have not responded the week before the party; after all, invitations do get lost.
Enlisting Helpers
You can't greet guests while supervising a game or cut the cake while pouring drinks, so figure on having one helper for every four to six children. Ask other parents ahead of time, or hire a babysitter or older sibling to help.
Where to Have It
At Home
At an at-home party, the birthday child's on his own turf, and you know where to find everything. To keep kids from wandering around, define the party area with balloons and streamers, and close doors to other rooms.
Parks are great for warm-weather parties; just be sure to have a backup plan in case of rain.
1. Suspend streamers or paper festooning between trees or along a fence.
2. Spread colorful sheets or blankets on the ground.
3. Mark the party's boundaries and blanket corners with clusters of bright balloons tied to thin wooden dowels stuck in the ground.
4. Draping fabric over a tall fence or over a clothesline provides an attractive backdrop for party photos.
Community Centers, YMCAs, and Churches
Prices vary according to locale, but generally run about $75 at a community center or $100 at a Y, with an hour for swimming. Book at least six weeks in advance, and get the name of a contact person.
1. You may only have a short time to decorate a rented space, so use portable decorations and plan for another adult or two to help you.
2. Have all the balloons already blown up and strung together in bunches before you arrive at the site.
3. Hang decorations with supplies that won't mar the walls, such as low-tack tape, string, and removable self-adhesive hooks.
4. Make a large room friendlier: Use streamers to define the party area.
5. You can also outline the space with balloons tied to anchors.
When to Have It
Time of Day
Schedule parties for young children when they will be at their best, neither too sleepy nor too hungry. After nap time works well for toddlers; lunchtime is good for preschoolers. As kids grow older, timing becomes a less important factor.
Don't feel like you have to entertain for hours. Toddlers and preschoolers do best with parties kept to an hour and a half. Anywhere from two to three hours is time enough for school-age kids.

What to Serve
Baking and decorating your child's birthday cake (or cupcakes) is worth the effort. Spend time on that, and choose other foods that are easy to serve, eat, and clean up. That said, even simple food can seem special. Here are some ideas:
1. Cut sandwiches into cute shapes using cookie cutters (cut crusts off first); or use a knife to cut them up into pieces like a puzzle.
2. Serve snacks in creative containers. Somehow, hot dogs are more appealing served in paper boats, just like at the movies. For a fishing-themed party, kids will get a kick out of being served punch from a fishbowl.
3. Turn lunch into an activity. Let kids top English-muffin pizzas. Show them how to make faces with sliced-olive eyes, a pepperoni nose, and bell-pepper mouth.
Choosing Favors
Trinkets and candy are popular and inexpensive favors. If you prefer, you can give out a single more substantial favor, such as a board book for toddlers or a small flashlight for older kids.
1. Match the goodies to the theme: You might give a teacup for a tea party, an action figure for a character party, or flowerpot and seeds for a garden party.
2. Let kids make their own party favors -- a potato-print T-shirt, for example -- as one of the activities.
3. Decorate with items that guests can take with them when the party is done, such as posters or pennants for a baseball party.
4. Arrange with the entertainer to use props or supplies -- individual face-painting kits or magic tricks, for instance -- that kids can then take home with them.
What to Do
Pacing is important. It's helpful to divide the party into 10- to 15-minute increments, with a new activity for each block of time. Allot about 30 minutes for an entertainer (or kids may lose interest), and 15 minutes each for lunch, cake, and opening gifts. If a game or craft isn't going well, drop it and move on; if kids enjoy a particular game, let it run longer than planned. To keep the party moving, jot down the schedule on an index card, and then refer to it frequently.
1. As kids arrive, you might usher them to a crafts table, where they can busy themselves until more guests arrive.
2. Keep games and activities simple for toddlers: Stick to games they know well or activities without complicated rules (such as dancing or tag).
3. Older kids need more stimulation: plan sports or organized activities based on what your child loves to do, or consider booking an entertainer.
Hiring an Entertainer
Gather references from other parents as well as children's museums or local libraries. When you call a potential entertainer, ask what age group the show is designed for before you mention your child's age. While magicians and clowns are classic for kids' parties, there are lots of other kid-pleasing options:
1. Balloon artists (their creations double as party favors)
2. Mobile petting zoos
3. Hairstylists or manicurists (call a local beauty school for suggestions)
4. Choreographers or dance teachers 5. Face painters
6. Professional storytellers
7. Deejays
Games Galore
The Classics
Tweak tried-and-true favorites to match the party theme. Simon Says becomes Fairy Godmother Says for a princess party, Musical Chairs is Musical Towels for a swim party, and Pin the Tail on the Donkey can be Pin the Trunk on the Elephant for a jungle theme.
Egg Relay Race
At "go," the first child in each of two teams balances a hard-boiled egg on a spoon, walks about five feet to a marker, returns, and passes the egg and spoon to the next in line. The first team to finish with an uncracked shell wins.
Treasure Hunt
Kids follow the first clue ("Go to the TV") to find the next clue ("Look inside the mailbox"), and so on, until the last clue reveals the treasure: goodie bags. For nonreaders, draw or photograph the clues (such as the refrigerator or car).
Obstacle Course
Guests go through a series of challenges set up in the backyard: walking along a two-by-four, hopping a figure eight around two chairs, crawling under the length of a picnic table, doing a wheelbarrow walk between two markers, and so on.
Dress-Up Race
Two shopping bags of clothes contain a skirt, shirt, hat, gloves, and jewelry. The first kid in each team puts on every item (fastening all the buttons), then takes them off and returns them to the bag. Then it's the next child's turn. The first team to finish wins.
Gifts Now or Later?
There are good reasons to open presents during the party, and just as many reasons to wait until afterward. Some kids love seeing their gift being unwrapped, especially if they picked it out. So guests don't get bored, put names in a hat; the one that's chosen is the child whose present gets opened next. Kids can forget their manners in the excitement, so help your child practice her thank-yous beforehand. It may be less chaotic, particularly for young kids, if your child opens his gifts after the party. In that case, snap a photo of her with each gift and send it with the thank-you.
A Proper Good-Bye
Have the birthday child personally say thank-you and good-bye to each guest at the door, and hand them a favor bag as they leave.

2 Ellises and a Cruz
Without these three guys, the Dodgers would be NOWHERE this season. The "Big 4" get all the publicity, but it's these three guys, grinding out tough ABs, starting and keeping rallies alive, who have kept the Dodgers chugging along. The Big 4, as a unit, have not lived up to the hype yet, and in fact, the hype has kind of faded for the moment. Ethier is having a nice season, Ramirez is a player on the decline, Gonzalez has yet to prove he can get a team over the hump, and Kemp is clearly still feeling the hamstring to some degree. It's especially noticeable on defense. When he and Ethier are hitting on all cylinders on defense, the rightcenter gap pretty much disappears. Not so these days. There's a gap between them now. And AT&T Park has a lot of green grass to cover.
Having said all that, it's a tough one for Timmy tonight. I think that, other than Victorino, whose glory years are behind him, and the pitcher's spot, there's 7 tough ABs for Tim to work through each time through the order. And it's especially important that he dispose of the 2 Ellises and Cruz without expending a zillion pitches, getting weary, and making mistake pitches to the Big 4. As always, he needs to get his pitches down in the strikezone, and stay consistent. Don't be walking guys. If a couple of the Big 4 hit a solo homer, no big deal. We still win 4-2. But if he's walking the 2 E's and C, trouble. The 2 E's and C have been catching some breaks, and those breaks are due to lessen at some point. They're going to put the ball in play, trust your defense, and DON'T WALK THEM.
40,000 people in the stadium, and untold thousands at home will be pulling for Timmy to help the Giants retake the homefield advantage for the rest of the season. Turn it back into OUR HOUSE in a big way. This is Giants baseball. You come into OUR HOUSE, and you get SHUT DOWN. We want it back to where opposing teams don't FEEL comfortable here, they don't LOOK comfortable, and they don't ACT comfortable. Dominant pitching, solid defense, and an offense that will keep battling, will find a way, and never gives up. It's Giants/Dodgers. It's September. It's a battle for the division title. Let's do this thing!!

I'm missing Loo.
yeah, what's up with that? He's been fighting this battle, SF vs. LA, for 50 yrs.
Might be auditioning for "Weeping for Vungo," the movie.
Early season craw never made that backhand play; couldn't pick the ball up cleanly every time I saw him try it.
Maybe hector redeems himself later, but he Beckett is making him look bad up there so far. -
Timmy's battling,making the big pitch when it counts.5 walks 84 pitches thru 5 alittle steep though.Still better then a Johnny Sanchez 84 pitches in 3 inning pace though.
FuckenA, I cannot TAKE a tit-for-tat Sanchez verbal donnybrook. Puhleeez.
Flavor, I don't think twinfan was dissing him. I've been anxious to see how Pagan does this month as well, since he's been so hot and cold all year.
Of course I wasn't dissing him.. And there will be no Dirty OR Pagan donnybrook, not with me involved, anyway.
…but don't you just love that word? I do.
There will not be a kerfuffle, either…
Well when you fucking start it for no reason and then post something like this, it makes you look even more culpable. But that's for others to judge, I'm trying to move on from that bullshit post from earlier–/still having trouble doing that
The umpire loves that Beckett pitch that slides back across the plate, got Hector twice.
Wouldn't Hanley's strike out looking look a lot better followed by his gay-ass "finger binocular" pose directed at the umpire post pitch?
I still don't know what the fuck the finger binocular thing was… -
Shades of Gwynn Jr… Fucking pathetic…
Blimey..after K's of Kemp Ramirez and Ethier..
Fuck. Dude goes yard every about every time a comet or lunar eclipse occurs. Sigh.
walking the 8th hitter, twice, so beckett isn't leading off the inning…don't get that one.
Let calmness prevail here. The Giants shall find a way. To win.
Perfect bunt. Way to go Angel!
One thing about the fantastic game of Baseball,you never know at anytime who might step up big.Adam Kennedy's HR only his 2nd in 168 AB's this year.Asshole….
Well, Tim almost got to 6 innings with just 1 run. 6 for 2 is pretty decent these days. He just can't seem to get people out without throwing a passle of pitches. Why isn't Pagan stealing BEFORE Scutaro gets through with his AB?….
Pagan should steal third. Nobody does it much, ever. Rickey Henderson sure did.
Look on the bright side: imagine the damage those 6 walks would have caused if Posey was catching.
The score really doesn't matter when judging Lincecum at this point in the game. When Timmy consistently gets beaten by guys like Adam Kennedy (and Tony Gwynn Jr earlier in the year) he is failing tonight as what used to be a former stud Cy Young.
The Timmy Apologists can rant on, but you CAN NOT let some dumb fuck utility guy like Adam Kennedy break the tie at this point in the game with a bomb. Same principle applied with Gwynn Jr earlier in the year, by the way…….
Big game pitchers don't get beat by small town hitters the way he has gotten beaten this year………-
I won't disagree with you on that. I will say that giving up 2 over 6 is one of the better efforts for a Giants SPitcher over the last fortnight, no matter how ugly it was. He kept them in a position to win the game, that's worth something, actually, quite a bit…
Beckett is an idiot as everyone knows. But he has all the credentials of an ace. Timmy gave up a bomb to Adam fucking Kennedy. Beckett got jobbed on a squibby bullshit thing to third.
Beckett has beaten him tonight, IMO. And that's the last thing we needed…….
Yeah that's right BF…Cause big time pitchers fuck the prom queen,while the small town hitter watches in dismay jerking his chain.
Horse laugh!
take that karma, fecking Kennedy
Times two. I'm witcha Pawlie.
Wow, that's crazy. We'll take it…
So. I start toward the tv and suddenly the ball goes under his hand. The run scores. Coincidence?
I guess Bochy has less confidence in a rested Mota than a tired Tim…
7 Walks,had to go get him but Timmy battled hard to keep at 2 runs hopefully.Casilla has to bail him out here.
Victorino your such a pussy.Eat Shit!!!
Ha, 6 walks? I just checked his line. Talk about a pitcher afraid of contact. Timmy has morphed into Zito…….
Zito consciously throws to avoid contact because he throws 82. Tim seems not to be ABLE to control his pitches half the time, mostly the fastball…
Snarkk, it's the same thing you just haven't seen it yet. He's avoiding contact too. A guy who used to throw 96 for years is now afraid to throw a FB at 91. And yet, there's a guy who has followed the exact same career path (Beckett), at least in terms of "Bye bye fast balls" who is beating his ass tonight………
disagree with you there…he got the big guns out all night, harmlessly. No way Z does that, and if he walked 6 or 7, they would have scored that many runs too imo.
Zito and Timmy shouldn't even be in the same discussion unless all the Timmy Apologists are ready to declare him a shell of his former self…….
This could be a defining moment for timmy in this inning.
Or not…will never know.
I love the call of bringing out Timmy for the seventh. Make a statement. Win the game. Dare to be dominant
Or not…
sorry, 7 walks……He's turned into Edwin Jackson's no hitter except for all the hits and the runs……
Fuck Tim Lincecum, I don't care what's wrong with him, He's clearly, at this point, a #4 or #5 pitcher………-
where's Denny?; maybe he fecking DOES need a haircut
Im not buying it BF, 2 time CY Young Winner is never gonna be a 4-5 guy IMO.Yeah this year could be alot of different issues,mechanics,hidden injury,mental,no daddy help letdown whatever, im just gonna say he bounces back next year and finds his mojo again.He still K's alot of hitters even while he has struggled,so that still a good sign to build off of.
Kat, the longer this goes on with Lincecum, I'm thinking we'll find out in the offseason that he's got an injury of some sort…
He walked 7 guys tonight. Go find another CY winner who did this in 6 innings. Preferably in a big game. He's afraid of contact. That should be obvious to most at this point…..
Very gratifying to see Hector help Timmy achieve a personal best.
I don't like how Timmy waited to be yanked. Sure, he was done; he knew Bochy would pull him. But, heck, Mr. Two-Time Cy Young, at least pretend you're like a prizefighter who tells his cornerman he is not surrendering, he's got fight in him.
He was pathetic tonight. Fucking Josh Beckett turned him face down ass up………
Both gave up 2 runs over the same distance. Tim's was ugly, but he kept the team in the game. Cain could walk only two, then give up a 3 run bomb, and we're down 3-2. That's worse, objectively,and practically than the uglier effort. Lincecum battled. I don't give a shit how he walked off the mound. I'll take 2 runs over 6 1/3 this time of year, as I said much earlier today…
that's fine, I'm not questioning your take. My take is that Timmy got his ass handed to him when it mattered most. Again, all the Timmy apologists love to ignore his gigantic failure against the worst hitters in the league (or those who used to be in the league).
I'm not in that boat………
If Sabean is able to get a ML ready starting pitching prospect for Timmy, i pull that trigger in a fucking heartbeat.
Meanwhile, Hanley is doing his best ryan howard imitation.
The hell. Make Casilla a three-inning starter replacing Lincecum. Somebody, I forget who, just announced they are going to a six-man rotation. (These statements make no sense whatsoever. Neither does Lincecum's pitching.)
steal third
hi Amy
flav, I understand how you feel, but how do you explain that the guys after ellis up to kennedy were 0-14 against Lincecum? That's Vic, Agon Kemp Ethier Hanley, not one hit all night btw them. And then add two more to the oh fer list vs. Casilla.
because this is a big game and you judge big games differently than the others……..
I think most big time pitchers bear down a little harder on the big guns and relax a tad on the bottom of the order guys. I think it 's only natural. My point is that the dodgers big guns did exactly nothing whatsover tonite—call it an epic heimlich if you want, but lincecum got them out all night without anything being hit remotely hard. I think that's quite an accomplishment, whether it's on him or on them for suckitude when their team needs it most.
Burriss with the good sac bunt. Yes, that makes me happy…
As of now the fight for who stays home in October is between Zito and Vogelsong..like it or not, Tim is the #3 right now…
Your right…That just scares the hell out of me…It's amazing how the dynamics of this team has changed since Opening Day.
Turn it up to eleven. YES.
fuck yeah.
And Mr. Beckett just went ass up..
one inning after Timmy did. He beat him. No other perspective should be considered unless it's one of your agenda's…
Hey, want to toss another Pagan Bomb out there? Ha ha ha ha..Ummm… didn't think so……..-
A bomb? Saying a big month would be huge or the team, and pointing out he was slumping? You were out of control, Craig.
Lincecum had a gutty efffort and but tor two misplays in the first by Scutaro and Panda- it was 2-1 when Tim left. I'll pray along with everyone else that we get as good an effort Sunday…And only in a delusional world did Beckett beat anyone. Tim-standing tall. Josh: ass up…
Scutaro is fuckin' NAILS. Great AB. At this point of the season, I wouldn't want anybody else up in that situation…
In a word: yes
Marco Scutaro, MVP MVP MVP. OK. Just for now. SCUTARO!!!!! Marcofuckin Scutaro. M.F. Scutaro. Scoots. Scutarian, Scooterinski. O'Scutaro. Anyway you spell it = HERO.
There is our second baseman for next year.
Well Beckett looks like a Fucking Loser now BF.So fuck him and the Dodgers!!!7
Nighty nite. I'l watch from the porch-it will be quieter…
bring a Pagan Doll with you to burn, it might be fun for you…….
Marco "Professional Grade line drive machine Scurato".Guy just will not be denied in the clutch..Money!!!
Flem says that according to Fangraphs, Scutaro has swung and missed exactly 6 times since becoming a Giant. 6 times! incredible.
Every young Giant player should watch this guy at bat and learn, and listen to what he has to say about plate approach and situational hitting. He's smart, he's a ballplayer…
yeah dawg. That was on a fangraphs article on scuts I read couple days ago, true stat.
Wow, Buster looked foolish on that last pitch against League. Me thinks he's in a slump.
Cool thing is we can now set the defense.
Fucking Ellis is getting on my nerves.The only Buttwad we can't get out.
Hairston goes down, and Skippy Ellis replaces him.
Read my post from earlier today. I said fuck Mark Ellis. He's been a thorn in the Giants side wherever he played.
37 of the 40 Man roster are available now with the big club. And, pardon me if I repeat something said earlier, but the Steve Edlefsen era is over. DFA'd…
Nothin is over Snarkk till the Flap says so.Edlefsen could still reappear like how we all willed Emmanuel Burriss back.
Include me out from "all" Kat…
Classic Dodger Giants. Wouldn't surprise me if this ended up 6-5.
Fuck, I thouight we were going to have a quiet inning.
Come on. Step on these cockaroaches…
Love that movie, Blade. That's where it's coming from. Ha ha…
Romo. Squish. Nice…
Outside of what, two bad outings, Romo has been fucking nails….Unreal!
I've got a nickname for Sergio Romo: The Desperado Kid, or Desperado for short. I'm probably late to notice, but his sly little half-smile — mad smirk — is worthy of a character in that movie "Desperado" with Steve Buscemi and Salam Hayek et al.
Grab some Pine Ellis!!! Romo to much for your pansy ass.
We could use a dinger here, just for fun…
I have forgotten how to act when a Giant hits a HR.
act like a prom queen
If you take meeeeeeeee . . . Puleeeeeze! (insert gay ass smiley face)
Love that run with Gonzales Kemp Ramirez Ethier due up in the 9th. Who closes this out?
ROMO Does Book It!
I'm singing arias for Arias.
Hell YES, Arias.
ARIAS!!!! Make's it so Captain!
Hey, that run Belt scored is as good as an HR. Clutch late inning hit by Belt to get started, and then the clutch AB by Arias to get him in. This game has been typical Dodger/Giant. Love this stuff…
That extra run made my "Belt" of Scotch go down alot smoother.
Scutaro, why not another clutch AB? Get 'er done….
Alright Romo.
Just one more cockaroach…-
What happened to Loo?
Ballgame!!!!!!!! 5.5, BITCHES!!!!!!!!!!!
Huge Statement Game.Doggy's are toast after we Sweeeep their asses!!!! Romo Nails!!! The Shutdown Closer!
Hell yeah!
Nothing whatsoever from dodgers middle of the order. Nothing…check the box…ellis and ellis, zum's two guys with 2 hits each, and kennedy with an HR. vic and the million dollar guys, with the season on the line? Not one hit all night.
For all that, Romo still scares the living shit out of me as the closer.
And, Timmy. as usual, pitches the heart of the order masterfully but gives up 2 walks to the 8th place hitter and a honme run to the 7th place guy on an 0-2 lazy curve among the 7 walks.
Let Timmy smoke.
Huge, huge win.
LA had to want this first game big time, and they failed.
Helluva'n effort. Up 6 in the loss column sounds nice… -
Great win.
As soon as Kennedy hit that homer, I knew Flav was gonna go ape-shit on Timmy. Glad they righted the ship and pulled out the W. -
Dear Dodgers: Click "Standings." Read. Refresh. Read. Refresh. You are just as close to the D'backs as you are to the GIANTS. Signed, Bill Neukom from Partsunknown, CA.
Stop watching Giants baseball and tell your doctor if you experience difficult or painful swallowing, chest pain, or severe or continuing heartburn, as these may be signs of serious upper digestive problems; or, if you experience an erection that lasts more than 4 hours.
5.5 up and 6 in the loss column with 24 to play. Magic number is 19. Which is only fitting since that is Scutaro's number.
Now, the only bad thing is, is tomorrow is a day game. Giants are 17-16 in day games after a night game. However, Cain is DUE for a win. -
Plus, our friend Nate gets a walkoff for the Phils. G'night, girls. (And where be Ted?)
Good for Nate…
0-20, Vic Agon Kemp Hanley Ethier. who comes through in the clutch like pagan scut casilla and romo, innings 7 to 9 when it's on the line, and who doesn't? sorry, but ned can't buy cojones for these guys.
I like to see Pence grow something these next few weeks…
He's actually not doing too bad in his last 15 games . . . .292 BA, 8 runs, 1 HR, and 10 RBIs.
He's getting RBIs, I'll give him that. Just doesn't seem to be really hitting strongly, consistently, or some kind of adverb, not sure which. Maybe this is how he operates, he hits around .280 or so, it's just not pretty. I would like to see a handful more of dingers from him this month. His RBI hit tonite was a lucky bounder, that thing down the 3rd base line. I'd just like to see him get that .slg up some more…
I remember the video footage of Ned, a day or so after the Big Trade, grinning a big crap-eatin' grin. However people feel about Sabean, our GM wouldn't be walking around with a crap-eatin' grin. Everything about the Dodgers is crap. Their under-achieving trade acquisitions, their fans that don't show up, their stadium that's been allowed to fall into crappiness. The way Vin Scully still thinks he's so good he doesn't need a color analyst for the TV broadcasts. I can't think of a single thing that's good about their organization at the moment. I do like Magic Johnson a lot, but he's a basketball guy, and he doesn't really know what's going on with a baseball organization.
Y'all want to talk stats, that's cool but Friday night Giants/Dodgers games in September? You can throw that shit against the fan and it don't stick .What does that that mean? Well, I'm not sure completely, but I do know we kicked some royal blue ass tonight.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot. That BLEEP was fucking epic!
I gotta busy weekend:
Sat: college football till 3pm ct
Giants- Bums 3pm ct
My Longhorns at 7pm ctSun: Texans-Dolphins 12pm ct
Niners-Packers 3pm ct
Giants-Bums 7pm ctIam sure my wife will find some.way to fuck up all of the above.
Joe, she sees that list, she'll trump ya with her "honey do" list.
haha, totally!
A-Gon looks pretty crappy out there
Pagan tonite: 3 for 4 including a bunt base hit, plus an intentional BB. So, on base 4 of 5 times. 1 Run scored. 1 RBI. That's a nice line for the leadoff guy. Hope he's feeling it again…
Ahhhhh, shit. The Giants game is after the Niner game on Sunday? I may not make it to Monday.
Yeah, Zumie, I said at the time that the trade was reminiscent of a basketball trade, and those usually didn't work in baseball.
Let me just make this comment number 335 – Way to go, coach Z.
Oh and, night all – great win.
A message to the Dodgers…..
This one was the Backbreaker. Must win night for the LaBumbos and look at what happened. Their money can buy anything bad karma came back to haunt them with their vaunted middle of the order going ZERO for the night. Kudos to Timmy and a spectacular effort by Casilla, Romo and committee to throttle the Bums. Casilla's clutch work to stifle a potentially very dangerous situation caused by Bochy's unwillingness to pull a pretty taxed Timmy after the first man got on. Whew! Santiago at his finest. And Romo's three-consecutive ground-out shut-down in the ninth probably spelled the end to LA's hopes for the NLW. If the Giants merely go a .500 12-12 the rest of the way, the Bums must go 17-6 to match them. A winning record the rest of the way for SF and only a Hollywood finish which even the '27 Bronx Bombers would have had a hard time pulling off would be LA's only chance.
Washington's GM may give him a run for the money, but Sabean's acquisitions in the offseason and at the break have made this team into a solid winner. Hell, he should get MOY for Pagan and Scutaro by themselves. Scutaro was a total steal ~ and from the Rox ~ WITHIN the Division. Amazing. Buster was befuddled tonight. He needs some rest. Probably would object, though. That's our MVP and very likely the league MVP.
Timmy toughed it out. Walks/warts and all. He came up big in a huge game. Bums simply could not hit him. Without the walks and some bad defense for their first run, the night wouldda been a romp. But we'll TAKE it. Too bad #55 couldn't get his 9th win, but with his sparkling effort Casilla deserved his 7th victory.
Halloween Machine once again is on a roll to another Black and Orange October.
Nice to see you back, Stix. How's the Northwoods these days?…
AS a Timmeh apologist I would like to say: I really do not want to be apologising this time next year. Not sure he is pitching to avoid contact, but the loss of the fb as a go to pitch is hurting him. The guy is nibbling and walking too many. I see, as twin said, that the Lincecum we see is the Lincecum we have and that is 50% of a cy young or even a top starter. As for an injury, if there is one, I will stick with the years of not icing his arm after games loses fine motor control muscles first.
Edd, I'm interested in that take on the ice. Is there some kind of data that shows that? And, when you say fine motor control muscles, generally speaking what are those that might relate to pitching and control?…
I do not have anything but empirical data. Ice stops damage from soft tissue swelling. Mostly in the muscles around both sides of the elbow and some times in the shoulder. Fine motor control muscles are the longer smaller ones more susceptible to injury over time. I will ask my physio friend for details.
One reason I have suspected it is because it would be a cumulative type injury. his arm is strong judging by the number of pitches he throws and no other noticeable injury so tendons and big muscles 'ok'. He has been "wild" indicating an inability to control his release consistently.
Of course there _could_be other reasons for what I am seeing. -
OK, thanks. Yeah, I'd be interested if you get more details. It does seem that the "release point" is his issue with the lack of control, that's practically all Kruk every talks about what is wrong with Tim. If the fine motor control muscles, ligaments, whatever, are in the hand, wrist and forearm, that makes some sense to me as where fine control is gained/lost, at least in a general way…
Let us not forget that B-Weezy was in the dugout tonight. Good luck charm? We miss you Willie!
Yes…great to see the Weeze in the dugout…
I know it got mentioned earlier, but that first run off lincecum was pretty cheap, with two groundballs not handled cleanly on the IF. Esp that last one to Pablo, if he picks it up cleanly they had a pretty good shot at getting ellis at the plate going on contact.
Look at the late inning stuff–casilla comes in with two on and shuts them down. SF gets a couple on, they score. Same thing with romo, a couple on he gets out of it, then SF comes up with the insurance. Great team effort in the clutch.
Dodgers, meanwhile, remind of an old Jonathan Winters joke about drinking "Old Cardtable…one shot and all your legs fold up." -
Let's do the same song with a different singer:-
Meh. Nice job, I love Frank (I BETTER) but Tony does it better
Interesting, but I don't like the phrasing as much as Tony B. sinatra was a perfectionist. Listen to his diction. And his phrasing is his own, isn't it.
Quite fitting after whooping ass on the Bums. I still like Tony better, but a nice mix. Great all around team effort tonight…and got the initial momentum going into the series. Go Giants…Sweep the Fucking Bums…
Adrian, Kemp, Hanley, Ethier: 0-17
screw you Las A**hole dogers -
Frank's version was good…but this IS IT…Fuck Yeah! Love my Giants and Love them Beathing L FUCKING A!
Union Bank.
G'nite, blokes-
Back in the late 70's, I opened my first checking account at the Union Bank in Palo Alto. It's been a wonderful childhood memory. And now you're telling me to fuck 'em?
Ok, I'm in.
Yes, after I went to AT&T and found out Tony sings after a win, I bought a single on iTunes. Ha. I've seen this very version on YouTube. Hey, does Tony sing after a home loss?
No, they don't play that song after losses. I can't remember what music they play after losses.
Witching hour. Adios, and Go Giants…
What a fine ballgame- a gutty effort from Lincecum, great relief, great defense after the first, Bochy proving why he's the best once again, flawless small ball by God!!,Scutaro clutch again, and oh yeah, the CFer was OK too 😉
Now Cain and Zito get their shot. Mr. 13 in the biggest game of his career here- a chance to show he can come up big against a top flight line up and dueling the reigning Cy Young holder. Style poiints don't count now, save 'em for the figure skating., Make no mistake, he's fighting for a win AND a spot on the postseason roster. There are scenarios where he and Vogie could both make it but Barry can go a long way to insuring a spot with a big effort tomorrow.-
Exactly, you and Stix nailed it, after all the hankey twisting TL showed a fighting effort, the pen was solid and the weakness BF always talked about – LA pitching showed up menaing we got some runs. After the two errors that got LA their first run Kennedy paid us back on that bad hop grounder.
5 hours and we are back at it
go GIANTS!

- - Getting rid of yellow algae...
Getting rid of yellow algae... Ok, even though i have been doing this for a while now, i made a bit of a school boy error. In my 3.3g dwarf puffer tank i have been leaving the light on a little too long, and now have a fine coating of yellow algae on plants, rocks and gravel. I've cut down on the light hours so hopefully there should be no more growing, but how do i get rid of the stuff that's in there now? obviously there is no space for any sort of biological solution (something tells me a plec might out grow a 3.3g...) Can i just wipe it off in the tank, or will it re-settle on the surfaces? I was thinking, wipe off as much as i can, then do a bigish water change, repeat as needed... Any suggestions greatly welcomed! |
Wipe off any algae you see and do water changes. It will resurface the moment you leave the lights on for too long again. |
LOL i was about to say get a snail, but puffers eat snails!! id just wipe if off and let the filter suck it up, probly do a water change too. |
Whenever I have an algae problem or bacterial bloom, I use a product called Algone. It's all natural, no chemicals, and after a wipe down and a water change, add the Algone pouch to the filter. My water clears in a few days. Can only be purchased on line or at a LFS though. |

Granisetron belongs to the class of medications called 5-HT3 receptor antagonists.

STORRS, Conn. (AP) — Auburn offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee has left the Tigers to join Randy Edsall's staff at Connecticut. The 33-year-old Lashlee agreed to a three-year contract with a base salary of $350,000 to be offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, UConn said Wednesday. He was making $600,000 a year at Auburn, where he spent the past four seasons and has twice been a finalist for the Broyles Award as the nation's top assistant coach. Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn said the UConn job gives Lashlee a "great opportunity" to implement and run his own offense. "I've known Rhett for two decades and he's a man of great character and integrity and this is another step toward his goal to become a head coach," Malzahn said in a statement. UConn athletic director David Benedict came from Auburn last year. Edsall is beginning his second stint as head coach at UConn, which fired Bob Diaco after a 3-9 season with one of the worst offenses in Division I. The Huskies were 74-70 during Edsall's first tenure from 1999 and 2010, with appearances in five bowl games. "(Lashlee) is one of the brightest minds in college football and I know that his experience around some of the highest-powered offenses and top players in the country is going to be an incredible benefit to our program," Edsall said.
