Review: The Tiger by John Vaillant.
This is a book about no happy endings for either human beings or animals. It starts out more of a reference and technical book for almost the first half, about different species of tigers and their environment through Far East Russia, and it's surrounding borders. The book also brushed the surface about the political structure and government control on a variety of people from Russia as well as China. It discusses the policies by Putin, Stalin, Gorbachev and the effects on the people including the Bolsheviks, the sequestered in the Jewish area, Cossacks and the migration to the south east of Siberia. Then John Vaillant weaves a gripping story of man pitted against nature's most fearsome and efficient predator, a man-eating tiger close to eight hundred pounds to conclude his book.
The book wasn't what I thought it would be but history is interesting to me so I did enjoy the book. It must have taken great research to deliver the information that John Vaillant wrote in this book. He went back a few eras when different species were as long as fifteen feet from head to the end of their tails and paws over a foot and a half in diameter. There was data on how much food they had to eat every four hours to stay alive in the thirty to forty-five below zero weather. These tigers over the years became smaller due to the climate, fewer species, and through the mating process but they still are very large tigers. These tigers weren't considered man-eating tigers throughout the area where many villages settled. The people claimed that to live with the tigers was no concern unless a group of poachers went into the forest and hunted the tigers for the black market.
This is how the story of this one huge tiger became to prowl and revenge on man. The tiger story was possibly a third of the book which was well told with suspense, adventure, and kept my attention, and curiosity of how the story would end for the villagers and the tiger. It took only this one poacher to send this tiger on a killing spree to where the hunting enforcer and his crew had to stalked this now-wounded tiger and bring it down. It was against all his policies to end its life but he knew he needed to protect the people who lived in the villages and forest areas. The emotions of the hunting enforcer were heartfelt and it took all he had to hunt down the tiger knowing that man made the tiger a vicious predator….
This book took me forever to finish. The basic point of the book is a story about a rogue man-eating tiger in Eastern Russia, and how it was tracked down and killed. BUT, this relatively simple tale is drawn out over dozens of chapters, some of which veer off into in-depth explorations of tangentially related topics, like evolutionary theory (the relationship of hominids and large cats over thousands of years), or predator-prey dynamics, or the changes in the tiger's habitat over the past several decades. So a simple story ended up framing a series of pretty scholarly chapters that sometimes made me feel like I had to slog through them just to get to the part where I could find out what actually *happened*. I just wasn't sure whether I was reading a true-life adventure story or a textbook -- the hybrid was a little odd.
One of my all time favorite non-fiction books. A must read.
A great book about animal survival in a shrinking environment. Amazing abilities of large mammals if the theories here are true. I have always believed cats and dogs have the ability for the emotions of revenge, anger and being aggressive to the point of just being mean. Not out of necessity or desire. We are the caretakers of all animals but that does not always make humans the smartest or wisest animal on the planet.
Extraordinary detail regarding people of various local cultures and traditions & economies, plus animals, plants & ecology of eastern Russia ~ Siberia/China/North Korea. I chose this after reading Vallant's "The Golden Spruce," which had a similar depth of detail, but held more interest for me, probably because it takes place in my own environs. This writer plumbs the depths of history, interviews, research, and puts it together succinctly.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0307268934, Hardcover)Amazon Best Books of the Month, August 2010: Deep in the frigid Siberian wilderness, an Amur tiger hunts. Fearsome strength is at the command of a calculating mind that relentlessly stalks its newest prey: man. Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the taiga, John Vaillant provides an unforgettable true account of a lethal collision between man and beast in a remote Russian village during the late 1990's. At its core, The Tiger is the story of a desperate poacher who picked the wrong tiger to accost. Yet it engages the reader on political, socioeconomic, and conservation fronts in order to explain how the stage was set for a deadly showdown. It's a gutsy approach that could easily lead to chaotic storytelling, but Vaillant is careful to keep the bone-chilling storyline taut by capturing the intensity of an animal worthy of our greatest respect and deepest fears. --Dave Callanan
Christopher McDougall Reviews The Tiger: A True Story of Vengeance and Survival
Christopher McDougall is the author of national bestseller Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes and the Greatest Race the World has Never Seen. He is a former war correspondent for the Associated Pressand a three-time National Magazine Award finalist. He's written for magazines ranging from Esquire and The New York Times Magazine to Outside and Men's Health. He does his own running among the Amish farms around his home in rural Pennsylvania. Read his review of The Tiger:
A few years ago, I interviewed a Delaware state trooper named Butch LeFebvre who'd been assigned to investigate rumors that a mountain lion was roaming the outskirts of Wilmington. It was silly, of course--big cats had been wiped out on the East Coast more than a century ago. But just to be safe, LeFebvre strapped on night-vision goggles, loaded a rifle with a tranquilizer dart, and set off into the woods behind the Du Pont Country Club. By 3 A.M, he'd spotted nothing, so he headed back to his truck. The next evening, he returned to the same spot for another look--and found paw tracks following his footprints all the way back to where he'd parked. LeFebvre was an experienced hunter, but he learned something that night: one killer out there was doing a great job of watching and thinking and learning, and it wasn't him.
To this day, the Wilmington lion has never attacked or even emerged from the suburban shadows. Not so lucky, however, is the Siberian village in John Vaillant's chilling The Tiger: A True Story of Vengeance and Survival. In 1997, deep in the remote Russian backcountry, a gigantic Amur tiger begins acting like the only thing more savage than a wild animal--us. It doesn't just attack villagers; it hunts them, picking its targets like a hitman with a contract, at one point even dragging a mattress out of a shack so it can lie comfortably in wait until the woodsman returns home. A few days later, the woodsman's horrified friends discover remains "so small and so few they could have fit in a shirt pocket."
Vaillant is as masterful with science as he is with suspense. We feel what it's like to be in a tiny settlement cut off from the rest of the world, at the mercy of a beast so swift that it can't be seen until its mouth bites down on your face. Tigers, Vaillant explains, are nature's last word in mammalian weapons design. Big as three NFL linebackers bundled into one, armed with claws longer than fingers and jaws rated on a strength-scale used for dinosaurs, tigers are built like missiles and can out-swim, out-climb, out-fox and out-run just about anything that breathes. That's the bad news; the worse news is, they're also armed with memory and invisibility. "I have seen all the other animals," one poacher says, "but I have never seen a tiger--not once."
What enthralled me as much as the deadly cat-and-man game at the center of The Tiger are the side-stories that inform it. Vaillant introduces us to characters like Jakob von Uexkull, a Victorian-era baron-turned-physiologist who specialized in umwelt: the lost art of immersing yourself in another creature's psyche. You crouch to the height of the animal you're seeking, learning to see the world through its eyes, inhale scents through its nostrils, feel cool earth and crushed leaves beneath its padded paws. There are hunters in Siberia, Vaillant tells us, who can sniff the woods and identify animals by smell. These maestros believe killing a tiger without cause is as vile as murder, and such a violation of natural order that calamity is destined to follow. They feel such kinship with the big cats that they'll even share their meals by leaving hunks of meat in the woods, convinced the tigers will re-pay them in kind with a deer haunch when times are lean. They see themselves as blood brothers of the Amurs--but as Vaillant shows us, no one fights more fiercely than relatives.

The Earth has a new champion. This afternoon at a small ceremony in Bremerhaven, Germany, our Executive Director Kumi Naidoo, christened the world's first purpose-built, crowd-bought, eco-sleek sailing vessel, the new Rainbow Warrior.
The smashing of glass signalled a new chapter in the battle for the future of our oceans, forests and climate. As Kumi said, "The new Rainbow Warrior is the perfect ship with which navigate the perfect storm of ecological, economic and democratic crises lashing our world."
If you're one of the 100,000 donors who bought a bolt, an action boat, an anchor, a chart, a soap dish, a piece of her sail or the whole of her wheelhouse, we'd like to say a massive thank you. We said the Earth needed a new warrior, and we thrilled that so many of you answered that call.
This is no ordinary sailing ship: it is a sleek, efficient eco-vessel, every detail crafted with sustainability in mind, from the silicon-based paint on her hull to the FSC wood of her cabins, to the onboard recycling systems and biological sewage treatment. The new Rainbow Warrior will primarily be powered and propelled by the sun and wind. It has a revolution mast design, allowing her to carry more sail, and has all of the latest digital equipment allowing us to broadcast video from remote locations and tweet from any ocean.
The first ship to bear her name was a rusting fishing trawler scraped and sanded down by hand and painted with a dove and rainbow. She made history saving whales, stopping radioactive waste dumping, and sailing straight into the forbidden zone around nuclear weapons testing sites.
Her voyage into history was cut short by two limpet mines in 1985, when frightened politicians in Paris ordered French agents to sink the ship in New Zealand, believing this would stop our protests against nuclear weapons tests. It was a massive miscalculation..A supporter in Auckland coined the phrase that became a motto of opposition: "You can't sink a rainbow." When we returned to Moruroa in a refurbished sister ship, the legacy of the Rainbow Warrior as a parable of persistence was sealed.
As a purpose-built campaigning ship, the new Rainbow Warrior will confront environmental criminals across the world, she will investigate and expose destructive activities, but perhaps most of all will provide a beacon of hope and an inspiration to action wherever she goes.
Thank you again, you have given the world a new and stronger Rainbow Warrior.

Just a few weeks before the release of the PS4, we found out that the system wouldn't be launching with the YouTube application available for consumers to download. Obviously this made a lot of people mad not just because the app was missing at launch, but because Sony waited so long to deliver the bad news.
For comparison's sake, the Xbox One has had the YouTube app available since the console's launch last November. This brings up the question of what's taking Sony or Google so long to give us the app that's already available to PS3 and PS Vita consumers.
The PS Vita, Sony's most recent gaming device before the PS4, also didn't launch with a YouTube app. Instead, buyers had to wait until June 26, 2012 (about 4 months after the North American launch) to receive the app for PS Vita. Even then, the app itself wasn't perfect. However, with time, it's grown to be a great app that can hold its own against the mobile version on smartphones.
If Sony were to play this scenario out like they did with the PS Vita, then we would have to wait until around March 2014 for the YouTube app to appear on the PlayStation 4. According to PlayStation Access, more than 20 apps will be available on the PS4 by this Spring, including the HBO Go, DISH TV, and MLB.TV apps. Hopefully the YouTube app is on that list.
Until we receive the app, you can view YouTube from your PS4's browser:
- Visit youtube.com/tv
- Follow any on screen instructions
- Either in a separate window on your PS4 or on your nearby laptop/computer, visit youtube.com/activate
- Jump back onto PS4 and enter your activation code
That's the best you're going to get for now (unless you've got Chromecast)!
What apps do you want to see on the PS4 in the near future? Let us know in the comments below.

Our military and people involved in search & rescue are second to none. But, I suggest you ask the people of New Orleans and surrounding areas who suffered through Katrina about how much faith they have in our institutions. To call in to question someone's faith in America for wanting to prepare is downright absurd, unsound, and borderline offensive. Being self-reliant and prepared as much as possible instead of having to rely on your Government, having the ability to provide and protect yourself during a time of crisis instead of asking others who wear a uniform to do it for you is what makes a strong American in my eyes. You call this having a "shameful view", I call it being a MAN.
to that. In hindsight, it has been proven that much of what was reported as chaos and anarchy in NOLA was hype by News Media. Other than by drowning or illness, how many people lost their lives in that episode? How many were
shot dead other than by rogue LEOs who are now serving jail time?
Here's some additional perspective--- in the mid 1960s, maybe 1966-- NYC lost all power as did much of a wide swath of
the NE and Canada. Crime went down. No one knew what was happening, but people behaved themselves, even the thugs.
Take heart. There are plenty of good people around.
Oh, another example. The influenza epidemic of 1917-18. Look it up. There were huge numbers of ill and dead piling
up, there was a World War ongoing, but we didn't get anarchy from it. And, plenty of folks were quite well armed by the
standards of the day; this was before short barrel shotguns and full autos became difficult to impossible to own.
SHTF scenarios of the kind some folks talk about here are possible, anything is possible, but hardly realistic matters.
Again, how about thinking like Americans instead of scared animals. It is still The Home of the Brave.
If the Union is once severed, the line of separation will grow wider and wider, and the controversies which are now debated and settled in the halls of legislation will then be tried in fields of battle and determined by the sword.

You have spent a lot of $ on your arsenal, especially in such a short time span. I have fired both the .223 and the .22 versions of the AR and I can say there is a major difference. The only benefit I see of the .22 is it is very cheap to shoot as you noted and fun for the kids. I prefer paying the up-charge and firing the .223 or 5.56 NATO round as I find the accuracy to be more of a benefit when at the range. If needed for a defensive situation I would also go with the .223 hands down.

I didn't read the entire thread, but I will answer your question like this.
I have half a dozen or so .22 rifles, and zero .223 rifles in my safe. I personally don't have any use for the .223, and no I don't want to start a caliber war. I simply have other calibers that work better for what I want them for. I have pistol caliber carbines to go along with my pistols. I have larger caliber hunting rifles for hard hits and long range, and shotguns for that type of work if needed.
A well placed .22 caliber bullet will kill many things, including human sized prey if need be, so I would opt to keep the .22 and the other guns you already have if I were you.
Just remember that shot placement is much more important with what you carry than how big a bang you get with each trigger pull.

I have had this argument with my parents. They don't see any emergency lasting more that 45 days. They feel our government would be there to take care of them.
There is no argument not to prep. Currently food and ammo is relatively plentiful and cheap. Soon that might not be the case. I've bought over 2000 lbs of food. It will store for 10+ years. It will be eaten and buy purchasing in bulk I saved a money. We have a few canned goods that we always eat, I purchased enough for our average eating habits to last 3 years. 1500 gallon water storage tank for $700. Im trying to prepare for the worst.
Best case senario I my mind is hyperinflation of the likes we have never seen before on a global scale. The very people that caused the "crisis" will step in with a new world currency and the starving masses of sheep will give up liberty and freedom for the promise of "society" again.
Our founders warned us this very thing could happen. Many people won't be around to see how or what America evolves into. I plan to stick around.
The whole argument over .22LR vs .223 is trivial and we only pursue it because our basic needs have been meet. Americans are soon in for a rude awakening. Very few people are self reliant, I'm not. Soon we will be brought to our knees. The question is will we stand up and fight? I will.
If you don't want to prep that's your business. Just don't make it my problem with hard times come.
they amass and keep. That is their business.
I do care what their motive for doing such is. For example, if it is to engage in some form of criminality, it becomes everyone's
In this thread the stated purpose of collecting that ammo and the weapons is to protect ones self in a SHTF scenario.
If that makes you feel safe, fine. I guess that is better than popping pills to assuage your fear. But doing this sort of preparedness doesn't make you brave, or prepared.
It shows an unrealistic view of history, of our society, and of the effectiveness of our institutions.
It shows a level of unwarranted anxiety totally out of proportion with our present global strength; the actual state of
our economy; and our institutional preparedness for our collective defense.
Yes, local disturbances be they riots, earthquakes, floods, ice storms, can bring lots of misery and even small pockets
of violence. The likelihood of a society destroying cataclysm in which you will need thousands of rounds; months
of stored food, is near nil. Amongst the things to worry about a SHTF cataclysm is way below the chance that you will be in an auto accident,
get cancer, have a house fire, be killed in a commercial airliner, struck by lightening, win the big lottery.
Our nation has had two historical events in which things might have become (and appeared to those present as) that cataclysmic SHTF scenario.
1) The British invasion of Maryland, Viriginia and DC itself during the War of 1812;
2) The Sherman march through Georgia.
In the latter, you see a lesson on the ineffectiveness of armed resistance against an overwhelming military onslaught. In the former you have the determined bravery celebrated in our anthem.
Fill your stores with whatever gives you comfort, but keep thing in perspective too. Our country isn't about to fall apart or to be rendered to dust by outside forces.
If the Union is once severed, the line of separation will grow wider and wider, and the controversies which are now debated and settled in the halls of legislation will then be tried in fields of battle and determined by the sword.

Montgomery County Women's History Archive:
40 Women of Historical Significance in Montgomery County
Lavinia Margaret Engle
First woman from Montgomery County elected to the Maryland House of Delegates
First woman to serve on Montgomery County Board of Commissioners.
Lavinia Margaret Engle was born into a Quaker family in Forest Glen, Maryland in 1892. Her mother was involved in the suffrage movement. Her father was a Treasury Department official. Engle received her B.A. degree from Antioch College in Ohio in 1912, and did her graduate work at Johns Hopkins University where she was the first woman graduate student in political science. She received her doctorate degree in political science and economics.
Engle met Susan B. Anthony as a child and joined the National American Woman Suffrage Association in 1913 as a field organizer. She marched with thousands of other women in Washington, D.C. and New York City demanding the vote for women. She also did public speaking, legislative work, and campaigning for the organization. During World War I, Engle helped organize the Suffrage Field Hospital, a unit staffed entirely by women. Following the war, she went to Europe with YMCA Canteen Service and helped run canteens in France, Belgium and occupied Germany. After the 19th amendment giving the right to vote to women was finally ratified in 1920, she campaigned in 16 states for the amendment's ratification. After the suffrage amendment was passed, the National American Woman's Suffrage Association was dissolved, and a new organization was created.
Engle was instrumental in the formation of the newly established National League of Women Voters whose mission was to help women effectively use their new political power and to integrate them into the existing political system. From 1920 to 1936, Engle served as the Executive Secretary of the Maryland League of Women voters, investigating a variety of social problems that inundated the state including the unsanitary migrant camps, public health issues, and inadequate child and maternal health standards, and lobbying for early maternal and infant bureau programs and other public health services.
In 1930, Engle, a long time Democrat, was elected as Montgomery County's first woman Delegate to the Maryland Assembly. During her four-year term, she successfully introduced a bill for unemployment insurance in 1933. Engle was the first woman to become a member of the Ways and Means Committee. She was also the first woman to serve on the Montgomery County Board of Commissioners. She chaired the Montgomery County Welfare Board and the State Planning Commission during the 1930s.
In 1932, Engle chaired the Speakers' Bureau for Franklin D. Roosevelt's first presidential campaign. In 1936, when the Social Security Act passed, Engle began her federal career. She was appointed Chief of the Division of Field Operations of the Social Security Board. In 1942 she was appointed Director of Region III in Washington, D.C. She was responsible for developing the plan for the regional organization of the Department to include regional and district offices. Then in 1951 she became Assistant to the Commissioner of Social Security in charge of staff development. Engle held this position until 1963, when she joined the newly established Welfare Administration. Lavinia Engle retired in 1964, after 28 years of government service. After retirement, she continued her advocacy in the areas of medical care and housing for the aged. She served on the Montgomery County Commission on Aging in 1967 and continued as an active member of the League of Women Voters.
Engle received many honors during her career. She was awarded the Certificate of Distinguished Citizenship from the state of Maryland for her contributions to community and state, devotion to good government and pioneering efforts for the enlargement of freedom. She was granted the Susan B. Anthony Medal of the League of Women Voters for her contributions to the organization, and the Distinguished Service Award from the U.S. Civil Service Commission. She was a member of the American Political Science Association and the American Society for Public Administration. She was president of the Metropolitan chapter of Public Administration Society. Engle was inducted to the Maryland Women's Hall of Fame in 1989.
Lavinia Engle considered herself an "early crusader" for women's rights and believed that her best weapons were "justice, logic, and persuasion." Engle died in 1979, at the age of 87.

Senior midfielder Marlee Paton's Player of the Year stock rose after an MVP Patriot League performance over the weekend. (Inside Lacrosse Photo: Larry French)
The NCAA Tournament is approaching and teams are punching their ticket in exciting conference tournaments and/or building their resume to argue a case for the postseason. Last Friday, the Tewaaraton Foundation released its 27 nominees for the Trophy, highlighting the best of the best in women's lacrosse.
This was probably the toughest Player of the Year list to compile. I am pretty sure on a top-three, but the order of that three and the seven behind them is tough. I do not envy the committee that has to choose five nominees for the Tewaaraton.
Gilroy has led her team to an ALC regular season title after going undefeated in conference play, coming into its tournament with a DI-best 75 goals, adding 16 assists, 72 draw controls and 23 caused turnovers. Most recently, she was held to under four points in a game for only the second time this season, getting three, in a victory over Northwestern, adding three draws and a caused turnover. The ALC Tournament is coming up this weekend and Gilroy almost assuredly will earn First Team all-onference status.
Before the ACC Tournament, I considered Cummings and Kayla Treanor on equal footing for the Tewaaraton. After the game, I think Cummings took a leap forward: both had three goals, but Cummings grabbed seven draws to Treanor's two and Cummings was strong on defense and caused a turnover, from Treanor herself, leading the Terps to a sixth-consecutive ACC Championship and #1-ranking.
The First Team All-ACC member currently stands with 51 goals, 23 assists, 101 draw controls, 33 ground balls and 27 caused turnovers on the season. She is truly a threat in every primary aspect of the game.
In the first year with Syracuse in the ACC, Treanor proved herself to be the top offensive threat in the conference, scoring 13 points in the conference tournament and being named First Team All-ACC after leading the league in goals and points per game. She has tallied 66 goals and 32 assists and with one regular season game in addition to NCAA games remaining, she is just nine goals away from tying the single season goals record at Syracuse.
In Johns Hopkins' victory over Ohio State over the weekend, D'Amore contributed a key late goal and the game-winning assist, earning five points in an 8-7 victory. She became JHU's all-time assists leader and got JHU an important victory in ALC play. Going into the ALC Tournament, D'Amore has 48 goals, 43 assists, 55 draw controls and 18 caused turnovers, standing in the top-three in DI in points per game.
Defending the home field, Rix tried to get her team back in the fight against UNC will two late goals, totaling five points in the game. Despite the defeat, BC should be in good standing for an at-large NCAA berth in a week. Rix, a First Team All-ACC middie and one of the top all-around players in the country, currently has 51 goals, 13 assists, 64 draw controls and 11 caused turnovers.
Just two players earned All-ACC status from the top offense in the nation in goals per game, led by First Teamer Friend, who has tallied 58 goals, 15 assists and 11 caused turnovers. She scored five goals in the team's victory over Boston College before being shutout by Syracuse the next game, the first time all year that Friend was held without points in a game.
Despite being relatively contained in the ACC title game with one goal, a harded-earned goal where she was falling down away from a double team, the First Team All-ACC attack finished with 10 points in the tournament and stands with 47 goals, 33 assists and 25 draw controls. The offensive captain has almost certainly placed Syracuse with a couple of home NCAA games.
In the loaded ACC Tournament, Griffin stood out among Maryland's shooters and finished with 15 points, including three goals and two assists in the Syracuse game, to earn Tournament MVP honors; as the play-by-play broadcaster said, maybe Griffin felt slighted that she was named Second Team All-ACC. This season, she is shooting a stellar 66.7% to earn 54 goals and 19 assists. Of her 81 shots this season, 72 are on goal for near 89%.
Loyola took care of business in its first year in the Patriot League, led by a five-goal, three-draw control performance by Paton against Boston University to secure the conference title. The Patriot League Midfielder of the Year and the tournament's MVP has earned 47 goals, 25 assists, 34 caused turnovers and 39 draw controls, helping Loyola run the table in the league. Loyola has a big test before the NCAAs, taking on Syracuse on May 3rd.
Markham, with 41 ground balls, 32 draw controls and 35 caused turnovers, leads a Penn defense that did not allow double digit goals to an Ivy League opponent this year. Markham led the Quakers to a share of the Ivy League regular season title and will play in the conference tournament next week. One of her best games came in a win over Brown where she grabbed five draws and caused six turnovers.
Also considered:
--Alyssa Leonard, Northwestern senior attack (28 goals, 118 draw controls)
--Kelly McPartland, Maryland junior midfielder (51 goals, 30 assists)
--Courtney Swan, Virginia junior attack (49 goals, 24 assists, 86 draw controls)
--Frankie Caridi, Stony Brook senior goalkeeper (4.77 GAA, 56.5% save)
--Margaret Smith, Notre Dame senior defense (57 ground balls, 40 draw controls, 36 caused turnovers)
--Nikki Boltja, Louisville senior attack (61 goals, 20 assists)

- Stylist:
- Marlene
Feb 03, 2012 - Based on the recommendations from this site, I visited the salon twice. First time I chopped down a lot of my hair to try something new. She layered the back so much that after a year of growth, my hair is still very think on the bottom and growing it out has been a nightmare. Second time I went to see if maybe she'll do something better with my already bad hairstyle, but besides trimming the ends, she didn't do anything to help the curls form better or fix the awful choppy layers. She looked lost and confused as I tried to pinpoint the areas that needed to be fixed AFTER she already cut and styled it. I was very disappointed that she didn't have a clue about styling curly hair...she added a very light curling cream to my hair before drying it. Being a 3B which frizzes very easily...I ended up with super poofy bird's nest when I left the salon, no ringlets, no curls, just a big mess.. My hair needs hold- it needs a strong gel or mousse and/or smoothing serum to form and hold curls and diminish frizz, as a curly hair expert everyone claims she is, she should know this. I can do a 100% better job at styling my hair at home. So disappointed, I almost cried on my way home because it was a complete waste of my $$...I can't wear my hair down curly because it looks awful, so I'm wearing it pulled back until I have a few more inches of growth to try to even out the haircut. Now, if I can just find a stylist that will fix it.

John Currin's Embrace of New Eroticism, New Masters Art Is Thrilling, Not Chilling/
American artist John Currin is showing new work at Manhattan's Gagosian Gallery, November 4 through December 22, 2010.
John Currin is increasingly known for explicitly erotic flesh tones that might make Hugh Hefner blush — especially when Currin's focus is increasingly womanly sex without a studmuffin to run the show.
We've commented before on Currin's nearly Biblical references to human sexuality.
The New York Times critic Michael Kimmelman wrote in 1999, mixed "leering, light-headed kitsch, with old-masterish weight as if there were no distinction". Kimmelman called Currin's portfolio "a dizzying feat that makes every picture seem wholesome and evil at the same time".
From his Manhattan Soho loft, John Currin explained to The Independent:
"I love grand, classically nude paintings and there is really no situation where plausibly you have criss-crossing limbs and stuff like that except in pornography." Also fascinating to him, however, was the possibility of bringing his oil-paint grandeur to scenes of cheap copulation.
Currin's next comment is fascinating to us, as part of our ongoing discussion of fashion photography, nudity and sensual sensationalism. After the women have stripped bare naked, and most photographers are incorporating breasts and occasionally a bare buttock or bikini waxing into the images, what's next?
"I thought it would be interesting to make them explicit and see if there is any mystery or any space left after you completely drain the potential. It's like when you don't show things, you build up a kind of voltage. So what happens if you totally open it up? Is the painting going to have any kind of energy at all? In a way, these are very unsexual paintings."
As a woman, I don't agree with Currin that his paintings become asexual. To me they are more female-centric. I see the beauty of an openly expressed sensuality that may no longer be titillating in a Terry Richardson, porn-bad-boy style. Instead, Currin offers us an integrated sensuality that is liberating and frankly sexual.
We want to condemn his women, but the more brain scans show us about female sexual behavior, it's no wonder that we're deeply torn between religious demands for modesty and our natural desires. It's each woman's right to make peace with this duality on her own terms, and not be flogged into submission.
John Currin continues his March 2008 interview The Filth and the Fury, tapping into the same consciousness that motivates much of our writing at Anne of Carversville.
Like ours, his anger ebbs and flows over what Currin calls his digust of "Islamic fascism" — the assertion that the West is morally bankrupt because of our lack of morality.
The artist's journey into explicit nudity and entangled limbs resulted from the 2005 Danish cartoon 'incident' that unleashed staggering anti-West protests worldwide. Watching the Frontline show with hundreds of thousands of clamoring Muslims worldwide was frankly frightening, chilling and a reminder that the world is a powder keg.
Unlike Currin's more singular focus on Sept. 11 and the Danish cartoon publication, Anne of Carversville quickly moved to include all religious fundamentalism as the danger to modern, peaceful and productive societies.
When Pope Benedict lashed out at secular Spaniards this weekend, comparing them to Franco before stating that Spain should become the battleground for the faithful, we seriously question if he's making a call to arms, and a renewal of the Crusades that unleashed bloodshed all over Europe and the Middle East.
John Currin's paintings reflect the cultural currency of our times, yet he is a sensualist committed to creating beauty in his art. The total engagement our readers have with nudity, sensuality, religion, morality, philanthropy and global politics affirms that Currin has tapped into the emerging mood, one we call New Eroticism.
In his pursuit of old-masters techniques and the grandeur of beautiful skin, Currin aligns himself with the less constrictive sexuality of art that is centuries old. Art has struggled with sensual expression and power — and especially in the female body — with the rise of monotheism.
We view Currin's current works not only as full of sensual vitality, but as a rejection of America's purely pornographic, breast-fixated, one-dimensional bombshell obsession with female bodies.
Terry Richardson's style is looking oh-so-empty, now that it's mainstream.
By contrast, John Currin as a painter, and many photographers of both genders, are increasingly unleashed and perhaps unconsciously defiant in pursuing a more nuanced, sympathetic and intuitively beautiful exploration of cultural mores and its impact on the human body.
The obessesion with controlling and denigrating women's natural sexuality is perhaps the greatest scourge to planet Earth.
We reject this patriarchal, primarily religious demand absolutely and work daily to connect the dots of all its ramifications — not only on women's lives, reproductive and maternal health in developing countries and female self-image, but also on global health, environmental action, philanthropy and the desires of ethical, kind and caring, secular people to live a life based on 'positive values' worldwide.
Indeed, Smart Sensuality people do have a conflict of values with fundamentalism and orthodoxy, and we stand in our own secular judgment against these life-negating, hypocritical, patriarchal self-interested forces worldwide. Anne

text: Hello all, Sorry if this question has been asked a million times but with the search facilites down I'm unable to find any answers. Anyway, what's the difference between 150gram, 180gram & 200gram vinyl? Is it simply the thicker vinyl is less likely to warp or are there sonic benifits? Hope someone has some answers, as its always been a mystery to me. Thanks John

Myles' Weekend Adventures: Bonjour mon amis! Comment ca va? Myles Shaffer here. This weekend ranged from a living Doll to a lovely Haze. Now that should arouse the old curiosity. So, let us now move on to the discussion of sexy women.
Diana Doll
Thursday evening, June 18Th, I drove out to the Rialto Spearmint Rhino to meet Diana Doll and to observe both of her shows.
Actually, I fell behind schedule, as usual, and walked into the club after Diana was already down a pair of sparkly blue bikini bottoms with tassel-like strings and a pair of almost knee-high black boots that had stiletto heels, platform soles of moderate height, and laced up the front. (I did notice a bikini bra that matched the bottoms lying on the stage.)
When I walked in, Diana was dancing to, ''Leave Out All the Rest,'' by Linkin Park, and she finished the show to, ''Right Round,'' by Flo Rida.
At the start of her second show, Diana was wearing a white nurse's cap trimmed with lines of red and sporting a red ball in the front with a white cross in the middle. She was also wearing a short-sleeved, white, midriff top that had red trim on the sleeves, the collar, and on the breast cups. The breast cups also had a white cross within a red ball on the front. Next Diana wore a very short, pleated, white, mini-skirt. The skirt had red trim that looked like lacing at the upper left front. All three of these articles were made from latex-vinyl. Beneath the skirt, Diana wore a red thong, and on her legs she wore a pair of mid-thigh length, red, fishnet hose that had two inch wide solid red bands at the tops. For footwear, she wore a pair of almost knee-high, red, high-heeled boots that had platform soles of moderate height and that laced up the front.
Diana performed this show to, ''Cry for you,'' by September, ''Love Game,'' by Lady GA, and, ''Cool,'' by Gwen Stefani.
Diana performed so well as most of the feature dancers touring today and better than some. She also commits good interaction with randomly selected tip rail patrons.
Diana, who comes to us from Czechoslovakia, is a beautiful woman who has long blonde hair and green eyes. She stands five feet six inches tall, weighs one hundred ten pounds, and her measurements are 34C-24-34.
Ms. Doll struck me as being very sweet and friendly. And, she seems to enjoy meeting and chatting with her fans.
While speaking with Diana, there did seem to be just a little bit of a language barrier, but it was nothing we were not able to hurtle. It certainly won't prevent me from spending more time with Diana anytime I get a chance to do so.
I do recommend that everybody should go to a nearby club to see Diana perform and to meet her in person if she should ever be featuring in their area.
Diana can be ogled at: ClubDianaDoll.com
Julia Ann
Friday evening, June 19Th, I went to the downtown Los Angeles Spearmint Rhino to see Julia Ann.
My plan was to observe Julia Ann's first show and speak with her for a moment before moving on to another club. Unfortunately, a nice and very professional California Highway Patrol trooper picked this evening to notice the placement of my GPS unit and pull me over. (He only gave me a fix it ticket, which I have already gotten signed off. Now I just need to mail the signed off ticket and a check for the twenty-five dollar fee to the court and I'm done with it.) Being pulled over cost me enough time that I missed the show I had intended to see. But at least I did get to say hello to Julia Ann and to speak with her for a couple of minutes.
Since I have seen Julia Ann perform in person many times since I first met her, I can safely say that she is a must see! I would hate to learn that anybody who likes women had ever passed up an opportunity to go to a club to see Julia Ann perform and to meet her in person.
Julia Ann is a beautiful, smart, friendly lady with a good sense of humor. Anybody who is lucky enough to be able to spend a little time in her presence will be happy with the experience.
Check Julia Ann out at: JuliaAnn.com
I believe I will take a moment to share what I learned from the CHP officer. Forget all the conflicting things you might read here and there about the placement of a GPS unit under the new California vehicle regulation, and forget what a Los Angeles County deputy sheriff recently told me. If a person is going to mount their GPS unit on the windshield with a suction mount, it can not be more that five inches above the dashboard and no more than seven inches from either the left or the right corner post. (Who in their right mind would mount their GPS unit on the lower right-hand corner of the windshield? I would need a pair of binoculars to read mine at that distance! That, or I would need a co-pilot.)
Jenna Haze
After saying goodnight to Julia Ann, I drove on over to the Skin Gentlemen's Lounge to spend some time with Jenna Haze and to observe a couple of her shows.
Well actually, when I entered Skin, Jenna was on her last song and was already stripped down to a pair of mid-thigh length, black, fishnet hose that had an approximately one and a half inch wide black band around the top of each. The only other things she was still wearing were a pair of shoes that had clear soles and stiletto heels and black straps.
The final song Jenna was dancing to, when I arrived, was, ''New Shit,'' by Marilyn Manson.
For the one show I did see, Jenna wore a blue choker decorated with what appeared to be very small sequins. She also wore a bolero-style jacket that was open in front expect for two thin strips of material that hooked together between and just beneath her breasts. The top had elbow-length sleeves with a red bow at the bottom of each. Beneath her top, Jenna wore a blue bra that had a small red bow between the breast cups and was decorated with small sequins. Next, she wore a semi-sheer, very short, pleated mini-skirt that had a red bow at the waistline on the front of the right hip area. Under the mini-skirt was a pair of blue T-backed panties. The panties had a little red bow at the top front and were decorated with small sequins. Jenna also wore a red G-string beneath her panties. Covering her legs were a pair of mid-thigh length, red, fishnet hose with an approximately one and a half inch wide red band around the top of each. On her feet were a pair of red, spike-heeled, platform-soled shoes. The strap that went across the top of the toe area of each shoe had a row of steel eyelets and a little red bow on the outside edge of the foot.
Jenna performed this show to, ''Don't Stop the Music,'' by Rihanna, Give Me More,'' (I'm not certain who the artist was.) ''Turning Me On,'' by Keri Hilson, and, ''What Them Girls Like,'' by Ludacris.
Jenna is a smart lady with a great sense of humor and quite possibly the most positive attitude I've ever been exposed to. She is also a very lovely woman, and she truly loves meeting and chatting with her fans!
I have once again made the mistake of thinking that I already had some of the information I needed and didn't bother to ask Jenna about her physical statistics. However, according to Wikipedia, she stands five feet three inches tall, weighs ninety-two pounds and measures a cute yet sex-looking 34B-22-32. Jenna has brown eyes and, as a general rule, brown hair.
In the time that Jenna has been feature dancing, she has evolved into quite an entertainer. She performs very well on stage, and her interaction with the denizens of the tip rail is generally quite good! Therefore, it is my opinion that Jenna should not be missed. So, if anybody reading this ever finds themselves faced with an opportunity to get out to a club to see Jenna perform and to meet her in person, they should not allow the door to hit them in the butt on their way out of the house! Jenna will not disappoint!
Everybody should take a long look at Jenna at: JennaHaze.com
I had wanted to drive up to Santa Barbara Saturday, June 20Th, to spend the evening at the Spearmint Rhino with Mikayla Mendez. Unfortunately, things simply didn't work out; therefore, I wasn't able to make the trip.
Hopefully, I will get another chance to see Mikayla perform closer to home sooner than later.
Okay, that's it. I'm done. Let us all meet back here the next time and continue the discussion of hot, sexy, gorgeous women! Until then, everybody stay safe, have a great week, and live life as if there were no tomorrow!

Additional Location Information
Paradise Found in located in a quiet, upscale, waterfront community nestled at the most eastern point of the island. Less than a mile to a supermarket and tennis courts, 1.5 miles to a shopping plaza with medical clinic, pharmacy, liquor store, gym, Wendy's fast food and Domino's pizza.
6 miles to Paradise Island, Atlantis Resort and Downtown Nassau, various restaurants and attractions welcome visitors to The Bahamas.
There is a Five Star, world famous resort called Atlantis, located on the very popular Paradise Island. Visit the restaurants and shops at Marina Village, tennis, swim with the dolphins or participate in various tourist sea excursions. Tourists can buy a day pass for $136 per adult and $90 per child and be able to enjoy all of its facilities including the Water Theme Park, slides, underwater aquariums and gorgeous beaches.
A visit to Blue Lagoon Island is highly recommended where you can pat the Sea Lions and swim with the Dolphins.Guests can spend a whole or half day on the beach on this excursion.
If your looking for things to do in Nassau, forget it, leave the hustle and bustle behind and come to Rose Island! Spend the day snorkeling and kayaking or lazing on our private beach or in our hammocks. Be a true castaway and partake in the beauty and excitement Sandy Toes has to offer!
There is a full day 'Family Island' trips/excursions on the 'Bohengy Boat' (also called Bahamas Fast Ferries) which takes approximately 2-1/2 hours to travel to family islands like Harbor Island, Eleuthera, where there are more gorgeous, secluded beaches with pink sand.
Please find below 11 suggestions for 'Things To Do In Nassau' as follows:
1. The Straw Market - Start your vacation at Nassau's Straw Market. It's in the middle of town, and it's very popular with visitors.
2. Bay Street - If you're looking for bargains on designer clothing and other luxury items, you'll be delighted with the duty-free prices in Nassau's prime shopping district. Dance your way from store to store, with music from the steel drums at the nearby Straw Market
3. The Pirates Museum for families with kids seem to really enjoy this adventure.
4. Have your wedding or anniversary celebration at one of our gorgeous beaches or one of our Oldest Churches called Christ Church Cathedral in downtown where Prince Harry recently visited.
5. Ardastra Gardens - One mile west of downtown Nassau, you'll find one of the area's most enduring tourist attractions. A conservation center run by people who consider the animals--especially the flamingos--their companions, not pets. The Gardens' must-see attraction is their world-famous Marching Flamingo show which takes place three times daily. As their guide shouts commands, 30 or more flamingos perform in unison. No visit to Nassau is complete without a visit to this quirky site.
6. Fort Charlotte - While you're at Ardastra Gardens, visit nearby Fort Charlotte, the largest and most interesting of Nassau's three colonial forts. It features a waterless moat, a drawbridge, underground passages and even a dungeon. Be sure to look for graffiti etched in the walls by soldiers who were stationed here. Although this 18th-century fort isn't especially beautiful, you'll be glad that you brought your camera for the picture perfect views of Nassau Harbor. Admission to the fort is free, as are the regular guided tours .
7. Queen's Staircase - While you're touring the town, be sure to climb the Queen's Staircase. With one step for each year of Queen Victoria's life, the top of this limestone staircase offers one of the best views of the area. Considered one of the world's top ten outdoor staircases, it's also a short walk from the top to Fort Fincastle, built in 1793. This is another spectacular lookout to capture Nassau's magnificent landscapes in photos.
8. Junkanoo - If you're in Nassau in December, get ready to party at the annual Junkanoo festival.

"Paradise Found could not be a better name!!!"
As said previously, WOW. Barry & Diane are wonderful guests and welcomed my wife and I with open arms. We were celebrating our honeymoon and they gave us a card and a little basket of treats. Barry is very helpful and full of wonderful stories. You can tell they care about more then just money, they want you to have an amazing experience. The place was amazing, the pictures here are great but they do not even do this location justice. The water is beautiful and the view is better. The property is clean and they truly think of everything one could need while on vacation. As they recommend a car is ideal, we rented one and you are about 15 minutes from Atlantis and the downtown scene. I could not be happier with my stay, we will be coming back and I have already recommend this to everyone I know who will be traveling to the Bahamas

"Best Vacation ever!!!"
We stayed in Paradise Found for 8 nights in Feb. It was the best decision we ever made. The rental process was extremely easy. Barry and Diane were so very helpful and accommodating. The house itself is absolutely fantastic. More than enough room for 2 couples. Ideal for families. The views from every window are breathtaking. The house is located directly on the water where you can enjoy the sunrises, snorkeling, eating on the balcony and so much more. We rented a car for our stay which I would recommend if you want to see the island. However for a short taxi ride you can get anywhere you want to go. Thank you Barry and Diane for a trip of a lifetime. We will definitely be seeing you again. Five Stars is not enough for this rental property!

"Lovely Stay- wonderful rental"
We had a wonderful time at Paradise Found. We spent a week at Paradise Found in July. I know when I am looking online for a vacation stay there are certain boxes I am looking to check off to see if a place would work for my family. We are a family of 4 with two teenagers (boy & girl). Space: this is a very spacious rental. The bedrooms are large, the beds are kings and there is tons of storage space for clothes and such. Since our kids don't like sharing a room they took turns on the day bed and that was also very comfortable. The living space is nice- the patios are amazing- and the view are stunning. The kitchen is well stocked and very easy to use- we had breakfast at home every morning and we grilled almost every night. Barry and Diane provide bottled water which was also a huge plus. Facilities: I find having a washer/dryer great when you are in the ocean every day- it made packing simple and living clean ( nothing like a clean bathing suit every day). View: as stated before- beautiful. and the swimming is fun, comfortable underfoot, and very safe while still being exciting with all the waves. Hosts: Barry and Diane make Paradise Found- wonderful hosts, not at all intrusive but extremely helpful and generous. Other reviewers mentioned the garden- I have never had such delicious limes in my life! While this is not the luxury of a resort-fancy lobbies and restaurants, it is the luxury of space, privacy, and location, location, location. While we were here we actually booked a room at the Comfort Inn Paradise Island to save money on Paradise Island aquaventure, and it never occurred to us to sleep there. We were never so glad to head back to Paradise Found and float in the ocean after spending all day packed in with every other tourist. It was like coming home. Lovely. We highly recommend Paradise Found.

"Outstanding Experience!"
From the moment we arrived Barry and Diane were extremely helpful. We took my 82 year old mom on this trip. We both share an extreme love of the Bahamas! Great both indoor and out. There was a cooling breeze the entire time we were there. Sooo relaxing and no way to describe the hues and shades of the turquoise water that would do it justice. Mother nature has outdone herself. We were able to snorkel some and swim daily if you pay attention to the tides. With a patio both up and down views were exquisite. This is truly paradise. We will try and return again next summer and as many times as we can. Denise, Stephanie and Mom.
Response from the owner, Barry & Diane Matsas - 07/27/2013
Thanks Denise for your great review. We are thrilled that you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to seeing you again next year at Paradise Found. Best Regards, Barry & Diane

"Absolutely the perfect spot for a wonderfully relaxing week."
Barry and Diane, we had a wonderful week at your lovely vacation rental. It felt like home from day one. Truly appreciated your attention to detail i.e. binoculars on a hook by patio deck door.. Barry, Bob and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour of your "garden". Never knew how amazing a lime off the tree could taste. Thanks for sharing. We hope to visit again, Bob and Dianne
"Great time despite hurricane Sandy's winds:)"
My husband and I were lucky enough to find this great property and at first were only booked to stay 3 days but luckily we got to stay here for 5 days! The photos don't lie, the views are amazing, the apartment is huge and there is really nothing it's missing:) everyday we ate breakfast on the top floor deck enjoying the morning sun then ventured to the lower deck and enjoyed suntanning and snorkelling. We saw lots of beautiful tropical fish! And your hosts Barry and Diane are great people! Any question you have about the island they are more then willing to answer. Because of the weather/wind we weren't able to go to the beaches on the west side but thankfully this property offered us the sun, relaxation and water:) thank you again Barry and Diane! Next time we ll bring the little man!

"Truly "Paradise Found"!"
The house was perfect for our family of 5 with 3 teenagers, and we were truly able to spread out and relax here. It was extremely comfortable and had everything we needed. The best part was sitting and enjoying the view of the beautiful ocean, as well as the owners Barry & Diane. They are so welcoming and friendly, it feels as if we've made lifelong friends! Barry & Diane, I hope you do visit us in Virginia one day! Fondly, Bob & Caroline Kuhfahl and children
"Truly wonderful!!!"
This townhouse is truly Paradise Found. My husband and I traveled to Nassau with our 8 month old son and the owners had provided us with both a high chair and a pack and play, making it so much easier for us. The townhouse was beautifullly equipped, clean and very well maintained. The owners were very easy to get in touch with if we had any questions. The view is spectacular and breathtaking!!! This townhouse is conveniently located and it was a quick drive to get anywhere we wanted to go. This is the perfect rental for anyone looking to enjoy Nassau!!!

"For lack of a better word: Excellent!!!"
The property and the owners exceeded our expectations. Located in a quiet, beautiful and private residential area of Nassau. Could not be closer to the water (open the lower bedroom door and after two steps you can jump to the water). Fish and snorkel right from the patio. The home was very, very clean and had everything we needed (believe me, if the house does not have it; you don't need it). The owners are very hospitable and always available if you have any questions (this was our first visit to Bahamas and they helped us a lot by showing us and suggesting many different places to visit, showed us the area and pointed the best transportation options, it is very easy to get to and from down-town). Loved the boat ride and reef snorkeling trip. The coconuts Barry gave us were delicious. We even swam with sting-rays due to the fact that we stayed here (try that in atlantis and see how much it costs). Barry & Diane; we want to thank you again for everything you did for us, you made this our best vacation yet. If this website allowed me I would give you 12 stars rating, 6 stars just doesn't really say it. The only thing I regret is having booked the house for only a week. When we return to Bahamas we will not even consider any other option. When we return to Bahamas this will be our place to stay. Thank you very much from Pedro (the country boy) and the gang.
Response from the owner, Barry & Diane Matsas - 05/18/2012
Thank you Pedro for your excellent review. It was a pleasure meeting all of you.Hope you come and visit us again. Once is not enough at Paradise Found. Wishing all of you the best. Barry & Diane.

"Most relaxing vacation in years!"
This property exceeded our expectations for our family. It is located in a peaceful residential area of Nassau with the most gorgeous view of the ocean. Our sons enjoyed fishing and snorkeling daily from the patio. The home was exceptionally clean and had everything we needed for the most relaxing vacation in many years. The owners very hospitable and always available if you have any questions. We plan on returning again.

Masterson, Indians roughed up by Tigers, lose 7-0
Cleveland, OH — A sold out Progressive Field crowd was left wanting as the Cleveland lineup mustered no runs against Detroit starter Rick Porcello, as the Tigers beat the Indians 7-0 in the opener of a four-game series. The Tribe now trails the Tigers by 2.5 games in the American League Central, but still has a chance to move to the top of the standings with three more games against Detroit wrapping around the weekend.
Porcello (5-6, 4.82) pitched like an ace, holding the Indians to just five hits over seven innings of work. He was never really threatened outside of a Carlos Santana fly out to the warning track in center field to end the sixth. The righty fueled a dominant performance by the visiting team in the first matchup between the division leaders.
"He worked ahead," said manager Terry Francona. "He threw strike one. He reached back for extra velocity when he needed it."
Al Alburquerque and Bruce Rondon pitched the eighth and ninth to preserve the shutout. It was the first time the Indians had been shut out since May 13 against New York, a period of 47 games. Indians starter Justin Masterson labored throughout his start and failed to make it out of the fifth.
Detroit plated their first runs with two outs in the second, as number nine hitter Ramon Santiago singled homeJhonny Peralta and Don Kelly. Santiago had been 0-for-13 on the season with runners in scoring position prior to the two-RBI single.
The Tigers added a third quick run in the third, as Andy Dirks doubled to lead off the inning and scored when Miguel Cabrera singled, driving in his major league-leading 86th run of the season.
Detroit exercised their two-out muscles in the fifth, when with runners on first and second, Victor Martinez singled to right center, plating a fourth run. Peralta followed with a double that plated Prince Fielder and Martinez, stretching the Tigers lead to 6-0. Following the double, Masterson (10-7, 3.78) was finished, having allowed six earned runs in four and two-thirds innings of work. He allowed seven hits and four walks while striking out six.
"When the sinker is up, anyone can hit it," Masterson said. "It doesn't matter what the numbers are."
Rich Hill finished the inning and retired all three batters he faced in the sixth. Joe Martinez saved the bullpen, pitching the final three innings, allowing just one earned run on two hits. Following the game, Martinez was optioned to Triple-A Columbus to make room for starter Carlos Carrasco.
The Indians offense mustered just six hits against Detroit pitching, with Santana the only one with two hits. Second baseman Jason Kipnis did single in the bottom of the sixth, extending his hitting streak to 16 games. He has now reached base in 36 games in a row.
The Indians and Tigers will play game two of the series Saturday afternoon at 4:05 p.m. Carlos Carrasco (0-3, 8.17) will be seeking his first win of the season against Detroit right-hander Anibal Sanchez (6-5, 2.76), who is returning from the 15-day disabled list.

It seems that whenever I get tons of wind energy news, the solar market is not far behind.
According to this recent report from Linx-AEI Consulting, the global market for advanced chemicals and materials used in photovoltaic solar cells and modules might decline this year to $2.3 billion (probably because of the current economy) but it will resume strong growth by 2015 approaching around $15bn.
The driver of growth in the PV market will be the global end market demand for solar power, which is expected to grow from 5.7 GW to 36 GW over the same time period, said Linx-AEI.
The consulting group, cautions, however, that the solar energy industry is still strongly impacted by policy.
"There is a critical need for all value chain participants to continually monitor and understand levelized cost of energy, technology development, existing investment and changes in policy. This need has been clearly illustrated with the current turmoil in the supply of polysilicon."
Clearly, chemical companies are responding to the solar energy's blinding growth (*lol) with several recent investment announcements and product launches.
Evonik said it will build in Japan an integrated production facility for monosilane and its Aerosil product. Evonik said this is the first step in the positioning of the company's solar silicon activities on the attractive Asian market.
Silanes are key components for solar cells. Silicon tetrachloride obtained as a by-product of monosilane production in Yokkaichi will be processed into AEROSIL® and marketed separately. The facility is expected to come on stream in 2011.
Dow Corning is setting up its second Solar Solutions Application Center this time in Korea. The first one is in Michigan, USA, which opened in May 2008.
The company said the Korean facility will enable engineers and scientists to work with customers to develop, evaluate, and pilot materials solutions used to manufacture solar panels. This center also expects to capture solar industry and manufacturing growth in Asia.
The laboratory of the Solar Solutions Application Center Korea is scheduled to open in late 2009 and pilot production equipment could come online by early 2010.
DuPont recently launched its new PV5200 Series photovoltaic (PV) encapsulant sheets, based on polyvinyl butyral (PVB) polymer technology. The company said the new PVB sheets offer physical and processing performance levels proven in laminated glass manufacturing, with additional features designed to meet the needs of thin-film solar power generation.
Besides the PV5200 Series, DuPont anticipates the launch of several other PV sheet technologies in 2009.
PolyOne launched in April its ECCOH™ Low Smoke and Fume, Zero Halogen (LSFOH) compounds for cables used in photovoltaic solar cells. The company said solar photovoltaic technology requires specific cabling systems with zero halogen, flame-retardant insulation and sheathing layers. The outer jacket must also be resistant to moisture, sunlight, heat, chemicals and abrasion.

Come on Mozilla, to let Microsoft make browser gains in one month is a misfortune, but to let it grow two months in a row looks like carelessness.
According to data from NetMarketShare, Microsoft's Internet Explorer grew in use across the world by 0.42% in July, the second month in a row it has enjoyed increases, taking its total gain since May to 1%. In the US, it has grown for a worrying three months in a row.
The increase comes at the expense of Firefox, which has dropped by 0.9% and Chrome, which has decreased by a sliver at 0.08%.
This is good news for Microsoft, which briefly lost its crown as the world's most popular browser back in December. Sure enough, Microsoft was happy to crow about the feat on its Internet Explorer blog, and feeds nicely into the hype that it hopes to create for its forthcoming IE9, which is currently available in Preview.
""Ultimately, we know customers have a choice when it comes to the browser they use, and that choice has a lot to do with the good work that developers and our partners do to build a better web with Internet Explorer," Microsoft's IE head Ryan Gavin wrote.
The Mozilla foundation meanwhile has Firefox 4 waiting in the wings, and currently beta 2 is doing the rounds, while Google is still detailing its wild and crazy browser experiments on its Chrome blog.
