text: We stayed with this Web-streamed production until we were absolutely certain there was nothing there (about an hour and a half) and then we cut out. The staging was pleasing to look at but largely empty of sense and meaning; the onstage performers amazing as we can't imagine how they managed to perform the work at all; the music doctrinaire Philip Glass minimalist — mind-numbingly hypnotic and also empty of sense and meaning as is all Philip Glass doctrinaire minimalist music; the text, what little there was of it, intentionally mystifying; and the designation of Einstein on the Beach as an opera an aggressive, willful attempt to be transgressive. Avant-garde sophomoric.

Any 'Friend' of Carell and Knightley is worth watching
Sometimes when a film meanders, it can be exactly on point.
If the tale is about the impending apocalypse, it makes sense to try to cover a lot of ground, even if it seems aimless.
Seeking a Friend for the End of the World (* * * ½ out of four, rated R, opens Friday nationwide) takes a few worthwhile detours to reach its poignant end. By its conclusion, we see that those turns in the road were essential in helping us empathize with and root for the lead characters.
If the performances of Steve Carell and Keira Knightley weren't so superb, director Lorene Scafaria's wryly funny screenplay might not have been enough to captivate audiences. But with their combined efforts, the tale of two ordinary people thrust into an extraordinary situation is wonderfully poetic, though still grounded in reality.
The film is set in the near future when an asteroid is on a collision course with Earth. Scientists' final attempt to counter its cataclysmic crash has failed. The end is all too near.
About the movie
Seeking a Friend for the End of the World
***1/2 out of four
Stars: Steve Carell, Keira Knightley, Adam Brody, Martin Sheen
Director: Lorene Scafaria
Distributor: Focus Features
Rating: R for language, including sexual references, some drug use and brief violence
Running time: 1 hour, 40 minutes
Opens today nationwide
But Dodge (Carell), a mild-mannered insurance salesman, continues to go into his office and carry out his daily routine with joyless determination. Only a smattering of employees rattle around. At a meeting, a supervisor asks "Anyone want to be CFO?'' In the opening scene, his wife leaves him, bolting from a car following a breaking news report announcing Earth's demise in 21 days.
The aptly named Dodge resists the efforts of his friends to draw him into reckless behavior. "Sarah and Dave brought heroin," Diane (Connie Britton) gleefully announces at a party. It seems plausible that all bets would be off when it comes to illegal or dangerous pursuits. Dodge, however, has never been the carpe diem sort.
His neighbor Penny (Knightley) is Dodge's polar opposite. She's sprightly and adorable, with a wistful quality underlying her extroversion. But in her flightiness, she forgets to pass on a letter to Dodge mistakenly delivered to her. When Penny learns that it was from his first love and might have changed his life, she's determined to rectify her mistake.
Dodge's inherent decency — heightened by the urgency of riots breaking out — propels him to offer a sort of last-days trade: As Penny pledges to help him seek out his long-lost love, he'll help her get to England to see her parents. Only in such an extreme situation would these two people come together, but they do in a way that is poignant and hopeful amid the bleak scenario.
TV news provides background noise. One program highlights "The Best of Humanity" with a list including Jesus and Oprah.
This is a romantic comedy for people who don't like rom-coms. There's no chance of a happy ending, but its tender mercies speak volumes. It's the warmly intimate moments, the bittersweet wonder at the beauty of the world and the value of family and forgiveness that leave the deepest imprint.
It's the end of the world as Dodge and Penny know it, but for a time, they feel fine.

Ride Rx vs. Flux Super Titans
which do you prefer and why?
The rides are a good all mountain binding for the price. The convertable toe strap likes to slip off your toe sometimes, but other than that i have no complaints. I have heard good things about the Flux toe caps.
well what are the best and cheapest ride bindings???
The Ride RX are really solid bindings with a all mountain flex. They have an all aluminium base so they will be a bit on the stiffer side. They are also not the lightest bindings because of that. Durability wise they are great.
I'll take Flux all day everyday over Ride. I don't like Ride's aluminum baseplates. I think it translates a lot of chatter up through the board that a lot of other bindings will soak up. I also prefer a softer binding in general. As far as durability goes, again I don't like Ride's aluminum baseplates. They don't flex, they bend. I warped the shit out of the baseplates on my SPi's.
Take that for what it's worth coming from admitted Flux lover and Ride hater.
I agreed. But if you are on a budget Flux may be out of your price range, unless you find them on clearance. My next purchase is probably going to be some Flux Super Titans.
2010 ride ex if you want something more freestyle-oriented
year-to-year feature creep has brought both those bindings high-end parts for low-end prices
4 Attachment(s)
As far as these two specifically, I've owned a bunch of Ride bindings over the years, even recently, and they make great stuff. That said, I preferred Rome for aluminum baseplates, and these days am loving Flux. I got 2 pairs of them last year, and am hoping to try their newly redesigned ones this year too.
my first binding were a pair of 2009 Flux Super Titans, and used them earlier this year through the european alps. So I guess I can't really compare them to anything, but I can definately say they they were the heaviest from the guys in my group, who had various Burton bindings. The highback was so beneficial in the deeper powder, felt so controlled even when I was waist deep. It was totally shithouse when it came to park jumps (no rails).

realness of concealness
The easiest way to make sure you don't leave the house looking like a hag. Just grab this kit to conceal dark circles, de-puff icky morning eyes, and highlight cheek bones.
This trio of concealers really conceals! I've even been able to hide those pesky dark circles that have been lurking under my eyes since I had my daughter. They are compact and easily fit in any purse or make-up bag.Tags: beauty, cosmetics, makeup, mineral makeup, concealers, travel sizeAdded 7 Years Ago from Physiciansformula

Portugal village worth its salt with the tourists
By Andrei Khalip
SALINAS, Portugal (Reuters Life!) - Shoveling drying salt in a pit under scorching sun while tourists and fellow villagers drink beer and look on from above may sound like a miserable experience, but not in Salinas, Portugal.
The presence of tourists in the cafes on the ancient wall above the salt pit in this tiny Portuguese village some 100 km (62.14 miles) north of Portugal's capital Lisbon is more than welcome and causes no consternation.
"One thing works with the other. Without tourism, the salt business would probably collapse, and vice versa," said Casimiro Froes Ferreira, 82, and the head of the Salinas cooperative.
The village has been extracting salt since at least 1170, when the local ruler sold part of the pit to the Knights Templar -- the first known record of Salinas.
In the middle of a pool in the salt pit lies a deep well of water heavily laden with salt -- Portugal's only natural saltworks. The water is pumped to shallow cells in the pool where it dries up over a few days, leaving a layer of salt.
"We work seven days a week between May and October when the weather is good and when salt needs to be dried and removed -- practically the same way our ancestors did. After work everyone just joins the crowd in the bars overhead," Froes Ferreira said.
Most of the village's old salt depots and stores -- made entirely of wood, including door locks to avoid corrosion from salt -- have been transformed into souvenir shops and bars, where one can try a local cheese baked in salt.
Even the local bikers club is headquartered in such a hut. Continued...

The boundary between 2 plates moving together is calle _______.
Types of plate boundaries
Three types of plate boundary.
Main article: List of tectonic plate interactions
Basically, three types of plate boundaries exist,[10] with a fourth, mixed type, characterized by the way the plates move relative to each other. They are associated with different types of surface phenomena. The different types of plate boundaries are:[11][12]
Transform boundaries (Conservative) occur where plates slide or, perhaps more accurately, grind past each other along transform faults. The relative motion of the two plates is either sinistral (left side toward the observer) or dextral (right side toward the observer). The San Andreas Fault in California is an example of a transform boundary exhibiting dextral motion.
Divergent boundaries (Constructive) occur where two plates slide apart from each other. Mid-ocean ridges (e.g., Mid-Atlantic Ridge) and active zones of rifting (such as Africa's East African Rift) are both examples of divergent boundaries.
Convergent boundaries (Destructive) (or active margins) occur where two plates slide towards each other commonly forming either a subduction zone (if one plate moves underneath the other) or a continental collision (if the two plates contain continental crust). Deep marine trenches are typically associated with subduction zones, and the basins that develop along the active boundary are often called "foreland basins". The subducting slab contains many hydrous minerals, which release their water on heating; this water then causes the mantle to melt, producing volcanism. Examples of this are the Andes mountain range in South America and the Japanese island arc.
Plate boundary zones occur where the effects of the interactions are unclear and the boundaries, usually occurring along a broad belt, are not well defined, and may show various types of movements in different episodes.

How can I learn the sport of sailing? Is it best to sign up for a sailing school?
Mark Matthews responds:
Generally speaking, you will learn faster and become a better sailor if you learn first on small boats. An error on a small boat is magnified, whereas larger boats can be more forgiving of mistakes, you want to know what went wrong so that you can avoid it in the future. Likewise, larger boats are usually more expensive. Most sailing schools start you off with small boats and work you up to larger ones. There may be local clubs, volunteer organizations, or informal groups that can impart the skills you need.
The US Coast Guard Auxiliary and the US Power Squadron teach courses covering topics ranging from basic navigation to diesel engine maintenance. Finally there are national schools and certification levelsUS SAILING and American Sailing Association are among the most widely recognized. Their programs teach several levels of certification from small dinghies to basic keelboat handling, and successful completion of the courses yields certification recognized by many charter companies. Coastal cruising and overnight passage-making are taught, and there may be additional classes in celestial navigation and piloting. Prices can range from a few dollars at a local club to six three-and-a-half-hour lessons for $700, or three eight-hour days at $450, so again, do some research since prices can fluctuate based on season and demand. Best of luck to you.

Engaging the Public in Modernising Medical Microbiology Through Art
Online Exhibition – 'Gut Flora' – showcasing the artwork of Researcher Nicola Fawcett can be found here
Modernising Medical Microbiology 'Artist in Residence': Anna Dumitriu
Anna Dumitriu is an Artist in Residence for the Modernising Medical Microbiology Consortium. As part of her residency she is shadowing researchers in this consortium with a particular focus on M. tuberculosis, S. aureus (and its drug resistant form MRSA) and antibiotic-resistant infection. The aim of the project is to develop new artworks, investigate the aesthetic and cultural implications of the research and to communicate the impact of new technologies in microbiology and how they will improve understanding, diagnosis, treatment and control of infections.
Artworks from the series have been showcased internationally including The Museum of Contemporary Art in Taipei, Taiwan, The V & A Museum and The Wellcome Collection in London, UK and at Kapelica Gallery, Ljubljana, Slovenia. Her work about MMM has been featured in The Lancet, on BBC and in The guardian.
"The Romantic Disease: An Artistic Investigation of Tuberculosis", is an 'open lab' workshop, and a one day symposium which was originally exhibited at Watermans in London, UK, funded by The Wellcome Trust, and is now touring internationally. This exhibition takes the form of an art/science investigation into mankind's strange relationship with 'the Romantic Disease' Tuberculosis (TB) from early superstitions about the disease, through the development of antibiotics, to the latest research into whole genome sequencing of bacteria. Read more here.
Anna has also created a "The MRSA Quilt" that tells the story of MRSA (Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus) research and diagnosis through a textile work stained with MRSA bacteria (grown on chromogenic agar) as it undergoes a number of commonly used tests. The final work has been autoclaved and made safe. It has been made in collaboration with Dr John Paul, Dr James Price and Rosie Sedgwick.
Why create a MRSA quilt?
There is a significant gap between the public's understanding of the issue of hospital acquired pathogens or 'superbugs' as the press describe them. MRSA is a mutated form of Staphylococcus aureus which is part of our normal bacterial flora and thought to be carried by around 25% of the population (this figure could potentially be much higher as it may simply be that our testing methods are flawed). MRSA has acquired genes which mean that it can withstand treatment with Methicillin based antibiotics. However Vancomycin is usually still effective. MRSA is not only acquired from hospitals, there is also community acquired MRSA. In hospitals patients are more susceptible to infections if they are immune compromised or have operation woulds hence the risk of MRSA there. Patients are routinely tested. However transmission vectors (how the bug moves from person to person) are not properly understood and the Modernising Medical Microbiology Project is now using whole genome mapping of bacteria to try to understand far more about this important factor.

He's no Oprah. But FBI Director and avid reader Robert Mueller has started a new bureau reading list to help his G-men broaden their horizons. The list has more than 60 books about the FBI's history, terrorism, intelligence, and professional development.
"He just thought," says an insider, "that we must have more formalized intellectual stimulation." Some gems: Public Enemies, by Bryan Burrough, about the birth of the FBI; The Looming Tower, Lawrence Wright's book about al Qaeda's road to 9/11; China, Inc. by Ted Fishman; and Louis Gerstner's Who Says Elephants Can't Dance? about IBM's historic turnaround. We also hear that Mueller's a big fan of former GE bigwig Jack Welch. So naturally, Welch's Winning also gets top billing.

Yes, Adobe stops supporting Flash on Android 4.0 onward. So you barely see Flash Player pre-installed on newer Android devices. But that does not mean it is not supported anymore. You still can install Flash Player apk manually instead of download from Play Store. Of course, there won't be any official support from both Google and Adobe.

Track II
We lead dialogues on strategic, regional and security issues with think tanks, universities and counterpart organisations in Asia
About the programme
Key people
About the programme
The Foundation leads New Zealand's track II diplomacy efforts in Asia. We regularly head New Zealand delegations to talk with leading think tanks, universities and counterpart organisations in Asia about the major political, economic and strategic issues facing the region. We also host dialogues in New Zealand, as well as roundtable discussions on major events in the region, including elections.
What is track II?
Track II diplomacy is another term for "unofficial" diplomacy. While track I diplomacy is held between governments, track II diplomacy typically involves people from outside government.
Track II diplomacy offers participants more freedom to discuss topics and issues that may be too controversial for discussion at government level. Because the focus of track II diplomacy is dialogue, not negotiation, participants can be more frank in what they say.
Participants in our dialogues include academics, retired diplomats and journalists. Government officials may also take part in an unofficial capacity. Members of our Leadership Network also take part.
- Bulletin - read stories from past Track II dialogues
- Read Leadership Network member Alice Wang's article on the importance of track II diplomacy
Track II publications
- Resource library - our publications, including those on New Zealand's diplomatic relations with Asian nations
Which organisations do we hold track II talks with?
The Foundation is currently linked with think tanks in seven countries. We also take part in track II dialogues run by other organisations, including the IISS Asia Security Summit: The Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore and the ASEAN-ISIS Asia Pacific Roundtable in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia,
- ASEAN Institute of Strategic and International Studies (ASEAN nations)
- Asialink (Australia)
- Chinese People's Institute for Foreign Affairs (China)
- Indian Council of World Affairs
- Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses (India)
- Japan Institute of International Affairs (Japan)
- The Asan Institute (Korea)
- Myanmar-ISIS (Myanmar)
- Shanghai Institute for International Studies (China)
- The Habibie Centre (Indonesia)
- The Prospect Foundation (Taiwan)
- Diplomatic Academy of Vietnam (Vietnam).
We also take part in track II dialogues run by other organisations. These include:
- IISS Asia Security Summit: The Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore
- ASEAN-ISIS Asia Pacific Roundtable in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
How are delegates selected for track II dialogues?
We select track II delegates from a pool of New Zealanders who have skills, experience and expertise in Asia. This group include academics, retired diplomats, journalists, and sometimes government officials (acting in an unofficial capacity).
If you're already involved in New Zealand's track II activities, or you have the specialist background and aspiration to be involved, please contact director engagement and research Pip McLachlan.

Cimi-Shield kills bed bugs on contact, leaves residual that will kill for up to 12 months, company says.
CARSON, Calif. - Pest Barrier has introduced Cimi-Shield, a product that kills bed bugs on contact, the company announced.
Cimi-Shield leaves a non-smelling, non-staining, non-toxic residual in cracks and crevices, and on textile surfaces like mattresses, furniture, drapes and carpeting that will kill for up to 12 months in managed sanitation sites, Pest Barrier said.
Cimi-Shield is available in two formulations: Knock-Out, for active infestation, and Protect, for sites where there is constant pressure such as healthcare facilities, hotels or dressing rooms. Cimi-Shield is not recommended for hard surfaces because the insects cannot make effective body contact with the residual, the manufacturer said.
Cimi-Shield is non-toxic, FIFRA 25 (b) exempt. The active ingredient, ResidulenTM, is derived from soy bean oil and dissolves the cuticle of the insect. Because it acts mechanically and is not dependent on entering through a receptor site, it is not believed to contribute to resistance, Pest Barrier said.

Is Serbia about to become the new Korea?
The question seems preposterous but a close look at recent festivals reveals a surprising number of hard-hitting genre films which are either gobsmackingly beautiful (like "Tears For Sale") or painfully shocking (like "A Serbian Film"). Films where creators are constantly able and willing to "think out-of-the-box", without forgetting to couple strong content to a strong message. And even the last time a Serbian movie did not manage to enthrall me (which was "Devil's Town") I could not deny that it looked competently made with pleasing production values.
So with that in mind I went to see "Life and Death of a Porno Gang" at the Imagine Festival in Amsterdam. And guess what? It's again a pretty strong film, shocking, funny and surprisingly well-made for all of its grungyness...
The Story:
It's 2001 during the final days of Milosevic' government. Film student Marko dreams of creating socially relevant science fiction horror movies, but can't get producers interested in financing him. Looking for investors he stumbles into the sordid world of the mob-owned Serbian porn industry and soon lands a job as an adult film director. But when he squanders some of his producer's money on a socially relevant science fiction horror porn movie, Marko needs to leave Belgrade in a hurry.
Unperturbed, Marko and his girlfriend buy a van and rustle up a few available porn actors. Some are overweight, some are suffering from AIDS, and some are addicted to heroin, but beggars can't be choosers. As "Porno Gang" they start touring the backward peasant villages in Serbia with a live cabaret, pretentiously trying to educate the farmers on political issues using radical pornographic satirical sketches.
Surprisingly this plan is not as financially successful as imagined: the poor population has little money (and even less patience) to spend on this "art" so the few smiles they gather are often accompanied by a pitchfork-wielding lynchmob to drive the "Porno Gang" out of town the next day.
Unable to return to Belgrade, things look increasingly desperate for the group who barely earn enough money to buy food. But then Marko meets a German producer of snuff movies, who makes him an offer he can't refuse...
The Movie:
A couple of years ago director Mladen Djordevic made a documentary about the Serbian porn movie industry called "Made In Serbia". And even though "Life and Death of a Porno Gang" is not a documentary, he calls it a straight sequel because "Made In Serbia" was such a huge inspiration for it. Much of the film does indeed look like a documentary, featuring handheld cameras and natural lighting. It all adds to the grungy atmosphere of the film and the bleak surroundings in which the outlandish story takes place.
And outlandish it is: people doubting the authenticity of it all get handed some solid proof of the director's whimsical handling of reality when the "Porno Gang" comes across a radioactively polluted village, complete with cows that glow green in the dark.
But Mladen Djordjevic' vérité style of filming manages to win you over after a while and instead of looking like a badly made holiday video, the image is often filled with clever visuals. It also means that the characters in the "Porno Gang" have to come to life through the quality of the performances, rather than through flashy camera tricks.
This might be Mladen's biggest achievement here: despite the freakishness of the "Porno Gang" performers and the inclusion of a wild variety of extreme actions (accompanied by extreme images) these characters still manage to grow on you. In the second half of the movie when the "Porno Gang" starts to lose members you know each and every one of them and... well, you sort-of miss them when they're gone. For me it speaks volumes that, days after seeing the film, I'm able to read the castlist on IMDB without a single picture attached and still can remember the face of each and every character on that list, and also what happened to that person throughout the movie.
It helps that the acting is uniformly good. Mladen Djordjevic toyed with the idea of using the real porn actors featured in "Made In Serbia", but quickly that idea was discarded because (according to what he said during the Q&A) those people could
A: not act well enough for the dramatic parts of the film and
B: were extremely unreliable.
Real actors and film students were used instead and it shows, with a standout performance for Mihajlo Jovanovic who plays Marko. His character in the movie is charismatic and good-looking, but also arrogant, unbelievably full of himself and comically pretentious about everything he does with the "Porno Gang".
Things go right? It's because of his brilliance. Things go wrong? The world is not ready yet for his radical visions.
This logic means that Marko in his own mind never fails, and it forms a trap from which escape is almost impossible. And Mihajlo Jovanovic shows that, yet you always see a nagging self-doubt lurking not far behind. Jovanovic truly gives a magnificent performance here.
Still, before you think this is a comedy-drama for the masses, do consider that things get dirty and rough in this movie. VERY dirty and rough. And instead of confronting you with extreme images right away, Djordjevic eases you in slowly. The first pornographic material in the film is pretty softcore, with people always standing in the way of the action, like a grubbier version of the US cut of "Eyes Wide Shut" (or "Austin Powers", for that matter). But then, suddenly: BAM! A hardcore insert of half a second, gone before it properly registered, undoubtedly leftovers from Mladen's earlier porn doc. At the screening I attended you could see the whole audience going "HUH??". And more follow. Things later get pretty gruesome too, so be warned.
But the thing is, the images do support a story. In the film you also see (or hear) eyewitness accounts of terrible atrocities performed during Serbia's recent genocidal civil wars, and it's almost as if Mladen Djordjevic dares you to become outraged at the sex and violence in his film, while it is so obviously peanuts when compared to what actually happened in the background. And he is also quick to point out that Western media were almost insatiable for shocking material coming from the Yugoslavian wars.
In the end "Life and Death of a Porno Gang" comes together impressively and fulfills most of its ambitions (unless I missed some). It's funny, it's shocking, and it makes you think without hammering its message home.
This could so easily have been an easy shockfest full of extreme sex and extreme violence, cheaply shot by a couple of hicks just for the hell of it. But it isn't. This is a very well-made clever bit of filmmaking which features a multi-layered story, fine acting by all involved and some biting satire aimed both at Serbia and the rest of the world.
Not for the squeamish (although I cannot imagine this will come as a surprise) but nevertheless highly recommended.
Audiences in Amsterdam apparently thought the same thing, and rated the film 7.1 out of 10, which (let's face it) is pretty damn high for a film with hardcore inserts.

iHeartRadio @ ACL 2014: Bleachers
Listen to Austin City Limits Radio on iHeartRadio
Jack Antonoff is no stranger to the city of Austin. Though this was his first time playing the stage at the Austin City Limits Music Festival with his current act "Bleachers," Antonoff shared the story of his first time in the Texas capital. "I came to Austin my first time when I was 15. I borrowed my parents mini-van went on tour. I booked a place that I thought was called 'Earland' but it was actually called 'Beerland.' So I had to play and leave because I wasn't 21."

Fantasy Baseball Morning Update: Will Miggy play?
The headline for Tuesday morning's baseball post in this space was "Pedroia Calls it a Year." On Tuesday afternoon, Pedroia decided he was going to play despite his fractured left ring finger. This scrappy little guy deserves a round of applause, because while many of your fantasy players are looking for any excuse to shut things down, he's doing everything he can to stay on the field.
Hisashi Iwakuma dropped the hammer on the Angels with six scoreless innings, raising our streaming starter record to 107-63. Today's pick is Cubs' lefty Travis Wood (owned in 6.6 percent of FOXSports.com leagues) against the Astros. If you need a backup option, see if you can grab Oakland's A.J. Griffin (31.4 percent owned) in this afternoon's huge game against the Rangers, or maybe Cardinals' rookie Shelby Miller (0.2 percent owned) against the Reds. Since the Cardinals clinched a wildcard berth last night, Miller will start in place of Adam Wainwright.
On to the news:
- If Josh Hamilton doesn't hit a home run this afternoon, there's a decent chance that Tigers 3B Miguel Cabrera won't play tonight in order to preserve his Triple Crown. I wish I had better advice than "wait and see," but ... wait and see.
- Tigers SP Max Scherzer has been scratched from tonight's start after twisting his ankle during Monday's postgame celebration. Reliever Luis Marte will start in Scherzer's place.
- Even though the Dodgers were eliminated on Tuesday, Clayton Kershaw will make his final start of the season today. The Giants say they'll play their regulars against Kershaw.
- Blue Jays DH Edwin Encarnacion (trapezius muscle) missed his third straight game on Tuesday, and you shouldn't expect to see him in the lineup tonight.
- Today's schedule includes six afternoon games, with Braves-Pirates leading off at 12:35 p.m. ET. You're not going to forget to set your lineup on time on the last day of the season, are you?
- Remember that the regular season might not end today. If the Orioles win and the Yankees lose tonight, there will be a one-game playoff on Thursday in Baltimore for the AL East title. Your fantasy league will almost certainly count stats from that game.
- On the AL MVP debate: I'd vote for Mike Trout, but wouldn't have a problem if Cabrera wins. To listen to the opposing camps discuss this issue, you'd think that Trout was nothing more than a good, speedy defender who should be happy with his AL Rookie of the Year Award, and that Cabrera is a big fat loser whose terrible defense outweighs his largely team-dependent offensive contributions. The only thing I like less than opinions on this right now is the stream of political rants on my Facebook page.
- Ben Sheets will start for the Braves today, and then retire. Sheets is only expected to throw a couple of innings, so don't get all sentimental and try to pick him up.
- Astros 2B Jose Altuve (groin) and 3B Scott Moore (shoulder) won't play today.
- Brewers 1B Corey Hart won't play today after re-aggravating his foot injury.
- R.A. Dickey has apparently been pitching all year with a torn abdominal muscle. And I thought I was already impressed.
- Phillies SS Jimmy Rollins (calf) probably won't play today. I thought about simply making a list of who will play today, but it would be filled with a bunch of guys I've never heard of who wear number 67.
- Did you know that Padres SS Everth Cabrera leads the National League in steals with 43, even though he didn't come up from the minors until mid-May? It's too bad Cabrera can't hit, since stolen bases alone don't guarantee job security.
This is probably my final baseball post of the 2012 season. If the Yankees and Orioles play Thursday, I'll write a brief entry if there's anything interesting or fantasy-relevant to tell you. Otherwise, thanks for following the blog all year. This concludes my fifth season of posting every weekday morning, and I truly appreciate your support.
I'll try to have my initial 2013 rankings ready by early November. If you have any offseason questions, you can always reach me via Facebook and Twitter. Enjoy the playoffs!
Great blog John, really enjoy it everyday during the season. Till next year, Cheers!

Vancouver advanced to the Canadian Championship final on Wednesday, defeating FC Edmonton 3-1 on the night, for a 5-1 aggregate win over two legs.
VANCOUVER – FC Edmonton made it tough, but a Sebastien Le Toux double pushed Vancouver through to the Canadian Championship final Wednesday night with a 3-1 victory on the night, and a 5-1 win on aggregate.
Yashir Pinto got things started with a headed effort 54 minutes in, putting Edmonton within one goal of bringing the tie level on aggregate. Le Toux stepped off the bench to make the difference, bagging goals in the 75th and 87th minutes, before Darren Mattocks added a stoppage time effort to put the cherry on top.
In the third minute, John Thorrington hit a low ball across goal, which Michael Nanchoff stubbed home, but the referee's assistant raised his flag, signalling offside.
On 19 minutes, Edmonton had its first real attempt, as Michael Cox hammered a shot from the centre of the penalty area. Yashir Pinto set Cox up for the attempt with a pass from the left, and Jordan Harvey lunged to block the shot, but Brad Knighton was forced to parry the ball before gathering at the first attempt.
In the 27th minute, Matt Lam's shot from outside the penalty box gave Knighton some trouble, but the 'keeper managed to push the ball to the right of his goal before Greg Klazura knocked it to safety.
Six minutes later Michael Nanchoff was taken down outside the box by Fabien Vorbe, and the FC Edmonton defender earned himself a yellow card for his trouble.
Camilo stepped up to take the ensuing free kick, curling a right-footed effort just wide of the upper 90 to the relief of FCE's David Monsalve.
In the 42nd minute, Cox collided with Knighton, sliding into the goalkeeper. Knighton stayed down for an extended period but was eventually able to continue. Cox received a yellow card on the play.
In the 53rd minute, Pinto gave Edmonton belief, finding the back of the net with a clever run into the box, bundling home from an Antonio Rago delivery from the right to bring the score to 1-0.
On 69 minutes, Knighton was forced into an awkward clearance, as Jay DeMerit hit a weak pass back toward the 'keeper, but
In the 75th minute, Le Toux equalized the score on the night, beating a stumbling Vorbe before firing a low shot to beat Monsalve.
The Frenchman followed that up with an 87th minute header, before Mattocks fired home a stoppage time insurance marker after some fancy footwork by Davide Chiumiento, who centred the ball for the Jamaican to have a dream comeback from burn injuries suffered in late March.
The 'Caps now head to New England for an away game against the Revolution on Saturday, before facing Toronto FC on Wednesday in the first-leg of the Canadian Championship final.

Dynamite Christianity (7 of 7) by Jeff Schreve
This content is part of a series.Dynamite Christianity (7 of 7)
Series: Unleashing the Power of God
Pastor Jeff Schreve
Acts 1:1-11
Well, back in 1984, the summer of 1984, I graduated from college, from the University of Texas, and I came back home to Houston to look for a job. And I had a degree in Petroleum Land Management. In 1984 there wasn't a whole lot going on in the Petroleum industry, and guys were losing their jobs. And so I was looking for a job. And that summer there weren't a lot of jobs out there.
My brother-in-law said to me, said, "Jeff, why don't you mow my yard?" And I thought, "Well, that's not really the job I was looking for after my degree, but I'll do it." And he said, "It's just a one-shot deal. Got to check you out, see if you can do it." So I went to mow his yard. Now he had a really dinky front yard and a huge back yard, about a third of an acre. And he wasn't good about mowing his yard, so his grass was really tall. And he said, "Now I have a mower in the garage." So I went and got his mower out of the garage, and, and it looked pretty nice. And so I started mowing the front yard. And it wasn't too bad. And, then, I began mowing the back yard. And I was in good shape in 1984. And I'm mowing, and a third of acre, it's big. And it is so hard. I'm looking at the grass and thinking, Why is this so hard, the grass? Maybe it's just too tall. And I would mow and mow, and then I'd have to stop …..I was heaving. And, then, I finally, as I got further into the yard, I started getting blisters on my hands as I was pushing that mower. I was thinking, This is the worst mower that you could possible buy.
I finally got about, oh, almost 95% of it done. Gary came home. He said, "Well, how's it going?" I was kind of crashed on the chair. He said, "How's it going?" I said, "I must not be in very good shape. I'm having trouble mowing your yard." I said, "You have the worst mower." He said, "I do?" He said, "It's a new mower." He said, "What's wrong with it?" And he fires i ...

Monte Kiffin
"We feel we got the best defensive coach at any level," head coach Lane Kiffin said. "The addition of Monte Kiffin not only puts us in position to play great defense, but also gives us the ability to sign the best defensive players in the nation if they want to prepare for the NFL every year they are here."
Kiffin was a catalyst for Tampa Bay's 2002 Super Bowl championship and coached units that ranked among the NFL's top 10 in both total defense and points allowed in 11 of his 13 Buccaneer seasons.
His Super Bowl champion unit became the first since the 1985 Chicago Bears to lead the league in total defense (252.8 ypg), fewest points allowed (196) and total interceptions (31). Kiffin's crew continued its impressive play in the 2002 postseason, allowing just 16 points in victories over San Francisco and Philadelphia, before turning it up a notch in Super Bowl XXXVII. During the Buccaneers' 48-21 win over Oakland, Tampa Bay recorded a Super Bowl-record five interceptions, including three picks that were returned for touchdowns (also a Super Bowl record). Kiffin's charges added five sacks and allowed only 19 total rushing yards in capping one of the most dominating defensive performances in Super Bowl history.
Kiffin now returns to the collegiate ranks at Tennessee, where, in fact, he previously considered a position with the Vols under then head coach Johnny Majors.
"I was last here in 1983 when I was under consideration for the defensive coordinator's job," Kiffin said. "I chose instead the Green Bay Packers to start my NFL career, but this was an impressive place. Now that I'm back 25 years later, it's bigger and even more amazing than I remember."
A native of Lexington, Neb., Kiffin was his state's High School Athlete of the Year in 1958. Then after playing collegiately for the Nebraska Cornhuskers from 1959-63 as both an offensive and defensive tackle, Kiffin sat out one season with a knee injury before taking a turn at defensive end for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League.
He then began his coaching career in 1966 at his alma mater under a pair of legends in Bob Devaney and Tom Osborne. Kiffin first helped command the Big Red defense to consecutive national titles in 1970 and 1971. When Osborne became Nebraska's head coach in 1973, Kiffin was named defensive coordinator. Kiffin moved to Arkansas as defensive coordinator under Lou Holtz from 1977-79, including one season as assistant head coach. The Razorbacks led the nation in scoring defense in 1977.
Kiffin was head coach at North Carolina State from 1980-82, compiling a 16-17 record that included winning seasons in 1981 and 1982.
From there, it was on to the professional ranks, including stops with the Green Bay Packers under Bart Starr in 1983, the Buffalo Bills from 1984-85, the Minnesota Vikings from 1986-89 and the New York Jets in 1990. Kiffin then returned to the Vikings, first in his initial professional role as defensive coordinator in 1991 before spending the 1992-94 seasons as inside linebackers coach. The 1995 campaign as defensive coordinator for the New Orleans Saints was Kiffin's last before moving to Tampa Bay.
Kiffin and his wife, Robin, have three children, including daughter Heidi and sons Lane and Chris; and four grandchildren, Preston, Landry, Presley and Knox. Chris currently serves as an intern at the University of Nebraska.

Subaru WRX Forum (http://www.wrxtuners.com/forums/)
- Problem Diagnosis (http://www.wrxtuners.com/forums/f72/)
- - overboost (http://www.wrxtuners.com/forums/f72/overboost-2421/)
I just installed all my upgrades, which are:Walbro fuel pump/sti injectors/Turboxs fmic/Turboxs UTEC/Turboxs shorty intake/up-pipe/HKS down-pipe/Greddy EVO cat-back/APS sr30 turbo. I installed the base maps found on the Turboxs website. The only real difference I can see is, they design their stage 4 base map using a IHI VF30/34 turbocharger. If you put my APS turbo and a VF34 side by side, the APS has a much bigger compressor and housing. I'm having a problem with overboosting and fuel being cut. When installing the UTEC, you must also install the provided ABC. I'm told it works like a "pop-up turkey timer" to bleed off excess boost. Whether the screw on the ABC is all the way in or all the way out, it still overboosts. I just wanted to know if anyone else has had a similar problem and how to fix it.
You need to manually control the boost. Install the ABC, switch to a closed loop boost, start at 100 through 1000rpm-4000rpm, then turn the abc up until the desired boost is reached. If your ABC is always closed and you are still over boosting (don't see how at 100) start at 30 on your UTEC Boost Control Map, then work the ABC up. If you need detailed intructions, as always, my phone number is in my profile.
p.s. If you would be willing to meet halfway, I could do an entire tune up on your UTEC to get you max gain, if you have an EGT probe installed.

A few months ago I was introduced to one of the tastiest energy bars called a "Clif Barâ€. The flavor was carrot cake and it was amazing, it really did taste like carrot cake. So I looked at the ingredients expecting to see a long list of artificial flavors and chemicals. To my surprise there were none, it was just organic stuff and vitamins. I believe that's why it tastes so good, it's all real food.
You may be wondering why it's called Clif Bar, don't worry I was confused about the name at first, too. At first I thought it was named after the rock formation you climb on and for some reason they decided to spell it wrong. But right under the list of yummy ingredients, it tells you it's named after the creator's dad and childhood hero, Clifford. After reading that I was sold on the name, dad was my childhood hero too.
I could go on and on about how good these things are but I don't want to type that much. You're just going to have to go to the store and get one for yourself. I would recommend carrot cake, chocolate chip, or banana bread. If you can't find them in the store you can buy them by the box on Amazon.com.
One last thing, be sure to check out their website, clifbar.com, for all kinds of tasty information.

Error 41 is the "print head up the creek" message which came on within 6 months of purchase. The engineer changed the head and as one previous reviewer has already pointed out, this is a KNOWN FAULT to Brother.
He duly changed the head to a new one (new?!!) which lasted another 3 months and then died the same way. Hit by the Error 41 plague.
Brother should not be permitted to get away with producing sub-standard goods but unfortunately they will!
I won't buy any more Brother products which is the only way I can get my own back on such a large manufacturer.
I spent a lot of time deliberating about an All-in-One machine. I thought that I had found the answer to my search. Unfortunately, I am extremely disappointed with this machine on more than a few points.
1. BROADBAND: It wasn't made clear that it cannot be used with B.Band. In this day and age, a serious over thought.
2. CONNECTIVITY: I cannot attach my answer machine as a TAM mode, (as I have always done with other machines). Although this machine does have a loop through socket, I have been told by Brother not to use it its for America !!))
3. RUNNING COSTS: The use of ink is totally unacceptable. Brothers system of continual Self Cleaning runs away with the ink. I've printed less than 200 pages of 'home use' stuff (mainly mono letters) but have had replace the cartridges 4 times now !
3a/ DOWN TIME: Once the machine is out of 1 ink, you can't use the other features of the machine ! No ink = No scanner ???
Isn't this another oversight ? Shouldnt another method be sought to alleviate this ?
4. PRINTING - COLOUR: The Colour printing has never been good enough to talk about,,, rather the opposite.
5. ERROR 41: I have recently hit the dreaded Error 41. This is a know defect to the printheads that Brother are aware of. They will exchange the printheads & say that they are an 'improved' design. The fitter who did mine would not let me keep the old one, & explained that they have to go back for REFURBISHING !
Brother has been a good company, producing some good stuff,,,, & usually their customer care is o.k. Sadly this is diluting. If Brother wants to keep some credence, they have to do something,,, and fast !

The leader of one of Britain's biggest teaching unions hinted at further strike action today as she declared herself proud to be a member of the left-wing "blob".
Christine Blower, general secretary of the National Union of Teachers, said the organisation had already taken more action in recent times than at any other point in the last 30 years.
She insisted the NUT should be prepared to launch "as much action as our members feel is right" to win changes to government policies over pay, pensions and workload.
Addressing the union's annual conference in Brighton, she also branded Coalition reforms to early years education as "sinister" and insisted she was a signed up member of the blob - a term used by Michael Gove to attack critics of his reforms.
It comes just a day after the union confirmed a strike would be staged in the summer term unless "significant progress" is made in talks with the Government.
A resolution passed by the conference will see members walk out at some point in the week beginning June 23 - when more than a dozen GCSE and A-level exams are scheduled to take place - with the possibility of further action in the autumn.
They have been angered by the introduction of a system of performance related pay combined with mounting workload that sees many teachers operate a 60-hour week.
Speaking to NUT activists, Miss Blower said the union needed a "manifesto for education" ahead of next year's general election.
"Perhaps we'll call it 'Better Learning Outcomes for Britain' or 'Blob'," she said.
"I'm certainly very proud to be included in that group whom Michael Gove seeks to disparage with his use of that term."
The NUT has already staged a series of walkouts, including a national strike last month.
But Miss Blower insisted the escalation of its industrial action campaign "must influence manifestos and commitments from the parties on education".
She said she would be pleased "to listen and to lead as much action as our members feel is right".
"We will mobilise, put the case and lead," she said. "We will also be at the lobbies and on the streets, wherever members are standing up for free, high quality public education.
"Winning for teachers is what we want to do. If we can win by negotiation, so much the better."
She also told delegates that the union had already "led more action than at any time in the last 30 years".
"We have had assaults on pensions, the prospect of working to 68 and beyond, deregulation of pay and punitive performance management, morale at a low ebb, an accountability system ruining the careers and lives of many good and experienced teachers - as well as two in five teachers leaving in their first five years," she said.
"The Secretary of State is on notice, he knows what he has to do and so do we. This time the stakes are so high that we have to win - for teachers, for children and the education service."
Miss Blower also claimed that a "sinister" expression is creeping into early years education - the phrase "school ready".
This follows claims from Sir Michael Wilshaw, the head of Ofsted, that more children should be enrolled in school-based nurseries from the age of two to give them better early access to the basics of literacy and numeracy.
But speaking to the NUT, she said: "Not only are we testing children at far too young an age, but a new and sinister expression has crept into our language. Children are now to be made 'school ready'. Surely what we want is for schools to be child ready."

One of our kitties got in a drawer one night. We kept hearing a meow but couldn't find him anywhere. I finally found him in Ben's sock drawer. Silly kitten.

Jahmile Addae
Jefferson Avenue Sports Complex Groundbreaking
Groundbreaking event at the Jefferson Avenue Sports Complex on March 16, 2010. (All photos by Brett Hansbauer).
Phone: 513-556-5986 | Email: email@example.com
Jahmile Addae (JUH-mall UH-dye) is in his second season at the University of Cincinnati coaching the running backs.
In his first season, Addae mentored Second-Team all-BIG EAST selection Isaiah Pead who rushed for 1,029 yards while leading the conference in yards per attempt (6.6), a mark that ranked him in the Top-10 nationally among running backs. Pead, who averaged 93.6 yards per game, was UC's first 1,000-yard rusher in almost a decade and only the Bearcats' seventh all-time.
John Goebel was selected as the 2010 American Eagle Outfitters BIG EAST Football Scholar-Athlete of the Year. He is the first UC football player to win the award, which is selected by the league's Academic Affairs Committee and is presented on the basis of academic credentials and athletic performance.
In 2010, the Bearcats led the BIG EAST in scoring offense (27.1 ppg), total offense (417.3 ypg), passing offense (260.7 ypg), first downs (21.9 pg), third-down conversions (45.6 pct.), and touchdown passes (27).
Addae has also been recognized by Rivals.com as one of the top-10 recruiters in the BIG EAST Conference in 2010-11.
Addae previously served as UC's director of player development. In that role, Addae worked directly with UC's student-athletes, providing guidance and counsel while ensuring they adhered to the seven core principles of Coach Jones' program, regarding intellectual, social, spiritual, physical, and skill development.
He also managed many of UC's off-the-field responsibilities including overseeing the highly-successful Cats In The Community program.
He came to UC after two seasons as a defensive graduate assistant at the University of Michigan working with the Wolverines' defensive secondary and scout team offense.
Addae was a graduate assistant in the football video department at West Virginia University in 2007. Prior to joining the Mountaineers staff, he taught English at Riverview High School.
He was a four-year starter and two-time captain at West Virginia. He was a finalist for the 2005 Ronnie Lott Trophy and was named to the watch list for the Jim Thorpe Award that same season. A three-time all-BIG EAST performer, Addae received first-team accolades his final two seasons (2004-05) after garnering second team honors as a sophomore (2002).
A native of Tampa, Fla., Addae signed a free agent contract with his hometown Tampa Bay Buccaneers and spent the end of the season with the Indianapolis Colts. He was selected for the Senior Bowl in 2005 and participated in the NFL Combine.
Addae and his wife, Maryann, have two sons, Agyeman (4) and Ayden (1). His brother Jahleel is a junior defensive back at Central Michigan University.
