Happy Easter all. Let's get the sweep today. Still looking forward to seeing Andre and Kemp in the lineup togeher. Go Blue!
Doesn't Gonzalez EVER take a day off? It's a shame that millions of dollars makes one immune to crappy play. Get Ethier in there already!
LuGo does not deserve to play and even wore Ethier is rotting away on the bench. Hopefully JP gets some hits today.
This Gonzalez stuff is getting ridiculous. Even if one believes he should play MOST of the time, today would be the obvious time to give him a day off. He's proven over the last few years that he can't hit lefties, while Ethier's proven that he can. And then there's the whole defensive issue.
Getting Gonzalez was one thing. Continuing to play him EVERY SINGLE DAY against all available evidence is simply denial. Guys that age just don't play every day, even if they're good, which Gonzalez is not. The fact that he is playing today is just one more bit of evidence that Flanders and Grady are so hard-headed that they're unwilling to admit a mistake even when it's obvious to the rest of the world. They're just going to keep riding that horse until he gets to the glue factory. They don't even realize he's already there.
I have a feeling Grady will let it ride for another week or two, and if he keeps playing this terribly he will be relegated to bench duty.
gonzo is playing because hes hitting 278, which is tied for second on the team with kent. kemp is leading the team. but he has fewer at bats than those two. plus hes a proven vet. and hes proven in the past that he can hit better than he can play defense. so i think he should play. veterans always get the nod over the younger guys because they ve done it before. ethier had a great season last year but gonzo has put up 16 great years. hes gonna play until he earns his way out of the lineup, doesnt matter how good kemp ethier and possibly loney do.
but i too am really looking forward to the day ethier and kemp are in the lineup together….and who knows maybe even loney as well :]
He may be hitting .278, but his OPS is .649 (which is pathetic for a corner outfielder). Combine that with his horrible defense and it screams "bench player."
What a FIERCE lineup.
Back to the 90's for the Dodgers.
Mediocre baseball. Barely hovering over .500.
That's what you get when replace a stud GM, DePo, with a old school fool, Colletti.
As always, http://www.joeyp190.blogspot.com
Arod is off to a great start, it will be interesting to see what happens with him. The Yanks will regret letting him walk if it happens.
annnnd Ethier has sat the last 3 out of 4 days. Id start to worry if I were him.
Playing Gonzo this much is INSANE…
I mean can Ned and Grady really tell us with a straight face that this is the best possible lineup our club can field?
RIDICULOUS is right.
last year vs. lefties
Gonzo: .259/.322/.408
Andre: .351/.378/.468
but of course stats don't mean anything when you have proven veterans!
even if Grady/Ned looked at stats, which I don't think they do all that much, I doubt they'd care that Ethier OPSed 100 points higher than gonzo against lefties. They'd say Ethier's stats is based on one year and thus are unreliable. I really don't think they have any intention of taking him out of the lineup. It appears that they've soured on Ethier, who basically hasnt been a starter since August. And considering he was carrying the whole offense at points during last year, I don't get it.
if you based every little thing on stats i guareente a baseball team would not win. baseball isnt just stats but i guess thats why gradys the coach and not some fans. and hes doing a **** good job of it too. postseason with the redsox and with the dodgers in only 3 three years of being a major league manager.
The Red Sox were a STAT BASED team when Grady was there.
momoracci- oh really? and how do you make that assumption?
Happy Easter to everyone. Looking forward to gametime. Let's get those Giants again!
I've got an awesome idea. This idea I think makes sense for the whole season.
Let's complain about every lineup fielded every day. Because, man, if you haven't made your point complaining about the five previous lineups they fielded, you will probably make your point the sixth time! Let's all keep it up! It'll be a great way to enjoy the season, micromanaging every move on the field – even before the sample sizes are large enough to be meaningful.
puppyhead01- well said!!
It's not an assumption, it's a fact – their GM, Theo Epstein, uses sabermetrics much like his friend Paul DePodesta. Bill James, who's an influential statistician and writer, also works for the Sox as a consultant.
the managers job is to put the best possible lineup on the field…i think as fans who pay and spend a S H I T load of money on the Dodgers we have a right to complain. Grady IMO hasn't done his job.
Here we go AGAIN. Why oh Why
does JP swing at the 1st pitch
He MUST work, that count, to start the game….NUTS ?????
NOMAR!! great dig!!
Wolf's command still isn't back. I think it would be smart for him to maybe make a couple of minor league starts just to get his command back.
**** even Gonzo's home run looked weak and pathetic.
This Wilson Valdez situation is eerily reminiscent of Cody Ross last season and he was let go
Max Power. Nice response to puppyhead.
Considering how much cash I contribute in terms of time and money to this team each year, I feel I have every right complain about poor line-ups. It's almost insulting to be told we can't speak out against the decisions our team make (and yes, even and a day by day basis). I mean, who are we dealing with here, the Ned and Grady or Bush and Cheney???
I would say a high number of the informed Dodger fan-base realizes that the quality of our line-up is suffering because management is favoring high paid veterans over cheap, promising youngsters. If there's the slightest chance that Ned might read our complaints and somehow rethinks his approach then I am totally in favor expressing displeasure.
I don't think people are complaining for its own sake. I think people see a genuine problem with the hard-headed tendencies management is starting to exhibit.
THAT CERTAINLY WAS NOT WEAK AND PATHETIC! TWO HR'S! 3 for 4 day for Gonzo! Bring out the broomsticks!
Wow! Way to go Gonzo! Two HR's on a power-starved team, I can't complain. I'm getting ready to blast the Randy Newman out of my windows for all the Giants fans up here. The Blue Broom looks as though it might sweep through San Fran once again.
nope. still don't like him. or his defense.
ya i guess we should only base our lineup on stats. i mean 3-4 with two homeruns and 4 rbis is not that great of a day.
and if lineups were only based on stats, then they wouldnt even have to play the games and the yankees would jus win every world series.
Guess we cant complain about LuGo today ;).
I'm not taking the hate bait.
Not gonna do it.
Trolls keep trolling.
Dodgers keep rolling.
Haters keep hating.
But I'm not baiting.
-Is it just me or did the strike zone shrink by a third when Billingsley went in? I thought he got robbed of strikes more than a few times.
-Garciaparra may not be hitting too well right now, but hopefully that changes after he sees the twins again tomorrow. He's really come around as a first baseman, and is starting put me at ease with his awesome digs.
-Wilson Valdes needs to play third base. Although his protect the plate zone seems to double in size in in x-2 counts.
-dictionary.com says the definition of durable is "Lasting; stable." Here's to hoping Zito 8.18's ERA keeps up.
It's kind of a bummer there's no shuttle going up to the stadium.
To quote the immortal words of Jackie Gleason, " HOW SWEET IT IS".
HAROLD, I don't know if you were able to catch the game today but GRADY wore his uniform shirt today.
kday01 – We were at my Mom's today with family and had a great Easter dinner. Couldn't catch the game. Glad to hear Grady wore the team uniform. Hope he is superstitious and continues to wear it. My Mom will be 87 later this month and still watches baseball regularly. Is a Blue Jay fan as there are so many of their games televised here.
Back to the Dodgers. Box score looks interesting. Nomar and Pierre will come around. Pleased for Kemp and Gonzo. Just not enough spots on the diamond. Valdez and Ethier need to play. It seems, regardless of management style, we are doing quite well after the disastrous season two years ago. I know we want the WS in a heartbeat but one step at a time. We took one last year and look like we can take another this year. Pitching is the key. Jim Traber again spoke very positively about the Dodgers on his show and he doesn't say anything he doesn't mean.
I still think there is a plan and the youngsters will appear in significant roles as they did last year. I can't really complain as I do not contribute anything to the franchise other than my support from four time zones away. And, complaining seems to be counter productive. I too dream of Ray's kids filling the lineup card – young, enthusiastic, real Dodgers and affordable. All in good time. I expect Ned has done a good job of making us respectible again in a hurry. If a mistake in firing GM's was made in the past, I think it was firing Dan Evans. His was under his watch that the farm system blossomed again. It's up to Ned to continue to cultivate it and harvest it. He will.
What is really getting old, just like the fake dodger thoughts poster guy is all the griping about Gonzo and Pierre. All you baseball geniuses out there calling the line up a joke etc….. we get it, you don't like Pierre and Gonzo- now give it a rest. Please. Its ruining the blog. And you guys look pretty silly today as we hang 10 on the Giants and Gonzo has 2 dongs and 4 RBI.
Some of the young guns are struggling on the farm. Loney and LaRoche terrible starts. I'm sure they will come around as will Pierre. All in good time. Greg Miller, pretty good start today, but still trouble with the strike zone with 5 BB in 3 innings. The guy I wonder about is Delwyn Young. He has hit well throughout the minors and off to a great start this year. Why is it he doesn't get a real tryout or a trade to a team who could give him a shot? Seems to have a good attitude and work ethic. Perhaps he doesn't have enough speed to emerge as a good player like Dave Roberts or Reed Johnson after their 26th birthdays. He is on the forty man roster so must been seen as having some potential.
as long as we come to the realization that Pierre isn't Devon White out there we'll be at peace with his errors out there. I'm expecting Pierre to be average in CF nothing more nothing less.
Opening day or bust!
It will be the same lineup against the lefty Jeff Francis tomorrow afternoon in the home opener. Valdez, Martinez and Kemp will all be in there.
drj884 – You are absolutely correct. We have what we have and not doing too badly. The Red Sox/Ranger game is on Sunday night baseball. JD Drew and Kenny Lofton are playing. They were last year's targets. Hard to critcize Gonzo today. Wait for things to unfold guys.
So Ethier is missing from the lineup again?
"I mean, who are we dealing with here, the Ned and Grady or Bush and Cheney???"
Dumb. You're dealing with a bunch of Dodger fans on this blog who hate hearing the SAME complaining day after day. Just grace us with your wisdom once a week and everyone will be happy.
What a great win today… and I completely agree with the Randy Wolf comment. He really did knuckle down and get the job done today. Bills had it rough for a bit, but he'll rebound quickly.
But what's really amazing is where all the anti-Gonzo posts are now? Where are they? Gee… the season's only a week old and people are already sending him off to the pasture.
As for Ethier and Kemp… they'll get their playing time. It's a very long season and who knows when they'll be called in to play every day. And we already know that Andre can hit lefties… so no worries there. These two have the rest of their careers to play every day.
So yah… the jury is still out on whether or not Gonzo can play at this pace all season long. But I find it utterly ridiculous that people could pass final judgement on this guy after only a few games. This guy is our teams' best hitter right now. Kemp and Ethier will be just fine…
Also, how many aliases does this troll have anyway? I've counted at least ten or twelve different email addresses. This dude has a real talent for holding conversations with himself. Truly pathetic…
And finally… I hope everyone had a very Happy Easter holiday… those who celebrate it that is. Harold, I hope your Spring is getting warmer for you. Four-in-a-row has a way of making you feel warm inside. And all of you who will be at the home opener tomorrow… have a Dodger Dog for me! I'll have something similar and not to mention my 99.9% correct Tommy's Chili recipe to boot!
Go Dodgers!!
Listen up PUP. You keep hearing the same complaining because management is making the SAME mistake day in and day out. Keeping JP and LG in the line-up day in and day out will is not an honest effort to field our best possible line-up. We may be winning a few games right now, but I fear that we'll see more games like the first 2 against the Brewers with greater frequency.
Also, WHO ARE YOU to tell us what we can complain about or how frequently we should do it?
BTW, if you hate reading it so much, then why do you keep coming back for more? I'd say that's pretty DUMB.
Well said, puppyhead. I have run into too many Dodger fans in my life that are so quick to react to some insignificant situations that really need more time before a comment or judgment can be made and well it does get quite annoying to see it so frequently. These are the kinds of people you wouldn't want to be stuck in an elevator with since they seem to carry with them a panic-kind of attitude. I mean…the season is 162 games!! I remember last year someone making a comment about Kenny Lofton being washed up after a few games (due to his lack of hits) and well he finished up with a pretty decent average.
I love the comment above. The "who are you" comment which is a comment that can be redirected right back at the very same poster. Let me demonstrate: Who are you to complain about who they are about your complaining?
I also love how the poster makes it seem like the reader merely comes back to read more complaining. I think the reader returns to read the unrepetetive banter. I'd say his high school conclusions are pretty dumb. But then again, who am I to say that 😉 LOL
Wolf looked AWESOME today….!!! Hopefully they will keep on playing good ball…!!!
Bleedin' Dodger Blue…
Ognir, I think have a right to complain about someone telling me to limit my discussion on a particular topic. I'm not on here telling anyone to shut up, which is what you and puppy seem to be doing.
We all have our opinions about what the Dodgers should and should not be doing. This blog allows people to express those opinions.
Also, wouldn't you think the fact that certain opinions are so "repetitive" serves an an indication that perhaps those people are on to something?
One last thing; and i think its something we all can agree about…
Dodgers looked awesome today. I dont think anyone is trying to be annoying, this is just an outlet for us fans, who care greatly about the team, to express our thoughts. Everyone has a different opinion and hopefully we can all learn from each other.
Complaining/outspoken fans is exactly what Frank McCourt wants.
The more fired up Dodger fans get, the more invested they feel in the team.
The more invested they are in the team, the more likely a fan buy tickets to games, buy merchandise, etc. Heavily invested fans increase their likelihood of being exposed to Dodger sponsors by watching games and visiting the Dodger website)
In the end, as with every successful organization, all that matters is the Dodger organization taking money out of your pocket and putting it in theirs.
Is there a point to this? I don't know. Maybe you'll run into former Dodger great Jeff Reboulet and he'll know the answer. But until that happens, it'll be open to ponderment.
Oh yeah, I'm not a big fan of pepperoni *******.
Dimes my friends… dimes.
the **** stood for n1pples.
I echo you're feelings David86 at the end of the day we all love the Dodgers
One more thing. I heard Ned's holding a "Most Handsome Dodger" event where we, the fans, get to vote for the sexiest Dodger.
My vote's for Ricky Ledee.
I mean, c'mon.. it doesn't get any more classic than his AB picture.
David and rgonza…THANK YOU!
Some people see the glass half empty, others see it half full.
Dodgerdude– say what you want, but dont chastise others for criticizing your views. After all, your views are stupid, but even if they werent, which they are, you are still being hypocritical. I think your handle is somewhat inappropriate, bc you seem to not be so much about the Dodgers as you are about your own pessimistic, uninformed opinions. I hate to add fuel to the fire, but it is very annoying- regardless if it meant to be.
People who do not understand and appreciate baseball tend to hit the panic button early, and look to place blame in all of the wrong places. I love Ethier and Kemp and there will be a day in the near future where they will both be starting, but they are young kids and Grady is treating them accordingly.
Really great game and great series. The starting pitching is look outstanding and i dont really see that letting up. We have a logjam on the 25 man roster, no doubt about it, but it is a great problem to have and will no doubt work itself out over a very long season. Anyone who says our management is doing a poor job is ignoring fact and going on personal bias. Feel free to espouse your beliefs, just know they are wrong and a cancer to this great blog where Dodger FANS (not those who "invest tons of their cash and time") like to discuss legitimate issues, and have rational discussion. Dodgerdog, i invest my heart in the Dodgers, so blow me bc your cash and time are meaningless to myself and anyone else who reads this blog.
Let's see, today's blog started out something like this:
momoracci – "Doesn't Gonzalez EVER take a day off? It's a shame that millions of dollars makes one immune to crappy play. Get Ethier in there already!"
davidb86 – "LuGo does not deserve to play and even wore Ethier is rotting away on the bench."
enders – "Getting Gonzalez was one thing. Continuing to play him EVERY SINGLE DAY against all available evidence is simply denial."
momoracci – "He may be hitting .278, but his OPS is .649 (which is pathetic for a corner outfielder)."
manny3vee – "Playing Gonzo this much is INSANE…"
To which Luis Gonzalez responded by going 3 for 4, two home runs, four RBI's, and three runs scored. I'm not convinced that Andre Ethier would have put up those kind of numbers, but I am confident that Luis Gonzalez will have several more days like he did today. Please don't give up on the old guys just yet. (Spoken by an old guy).
And how about Ramon Martinez? He was outstanding today at 3B. I would be a bit concerned if I were Wilson Betemit, that's for sure.
Great game today and great road trip. I'll take 4 out of 6 on the road all season long!
It's a long season guys. No need to bash the team (or each other) just because the line-up of your choice doesn't match Grady Little's line-up. We have an outstanding ball club and as long as we are putting up W's, let's praise our boys instead of bashing them.
Man I can't wait until tomorrow! I can taste those Dodger Dogs now!
after a bad start we win 4 in a row.Great week, WE could use a whole lot of weeks like this one. Lots of time for our prospects, they will help this year, just wait and see.
3 more quick wins againt col. is next up.
Look, if Gonzo playing well leads us to the post season and the WS, so be it. Although thats a lofty assumption. I think the frustration with Gonzo for me is I am just not excited to see him play. He's not an exciting player anymore. He was a star on a another team. As was Nomar. As was Kent. Not saying they can't be productive now, but I think for some of us, seeing the youngsters from the farm is far more exciting and entertaining. I understand the dodger management has to have stability, and went out and signed players who would bring that. Some fans care about recognizing the names on the jerseys more than having a young talent come into their own. The dodger management has to supply that. I think we all want to see each and every promising rook get their chance, and alot of them will. It is isn't realistic to field a team of rookies like the drays and marlins do. The Dodgers have a large market to answer to and a large enough payroll to ensure it never happens. I think again, what some of us might be struggling with is that there are no stars on this team blocking young talent, just mediocrity. Even the much ballyhooed pitching staff is filled with recognizable names but no true aces or stars. All of these things are fine for now if it brings stability and guards the management to criticism, but if mediocrity continues to usurp the place of young, upcoming talent even when its ready to contribute, its disappointing. That's how I see it, feel free to disagree.
very eloquent ewk…
Lets see. My view are stupid and uninformed. You don't even know what my views are!!!
I think you need to relax a bit. I'm a huge Dodger fan, and my point about spending time and $, which I don't have much of, was simply to illustrate the fact that this team really means a lot to me. Perhaps you've met people whose agenda is show people how smart they are, but you've got me totally wrong. I'm all about the Dodgers all of the time.
In fact, if the amount of anger in your post is a reflection of your passion as a Dodger fan, then I think we have something in common.
Lets stop hatin on our own…we've won 4 in a row for cryin out load.
For the record, i wasnt the one hating on our own…
and, come to think of it, you are the one who seems to be angry after winning four in a row…
"Keeping JP and LG in the line-up day in and day out will is not an honest effort to field our best possible line-up. We may be winning a few games right now, but I fear that we'll see more games like the first 2 against the Brewers with greater frequency."
"the quality of our line-up is suffering because management is favoring high paid veterans over cheap, promising youngsters. "
"genuine problem with the hard-headed tendencies management is starting to exhibit."
–Your words my friend.
For the record, I'm not the one calling other dodger fans "stupid" and asking them to "blow me". So i don't know how you can conclude that I'M the one hating.
…and to say that I'm angry about winning four in a row makes no sense
Look, you might think you have an idea about what type of fan I am and what my views are about how our team is run. But what you're really doing is constructing a straw man that does 2 things for you: 1) Make you feel like you're adequetely rebutting my so-called "stupid" views and 2) apparently, "blows" you.
Nonetheless, I agree with most of what you said in your post in terms of being patient and seeing how the current line-up plays out. My biggest worry, however, is that management might be under-valuing the contributions our young guys can make. This, in turn, could lead to stunting their development and/or perhaps bad trades. Now, it might turn out that our vets shine and we make some great trades to get us over the top. Or, it might turn out that our vets stink and management is forced to sit them down. The worst case, of course, would be trading our young guys before our vets stink. At which point we would be at the whims of the quality of those trades.
The gist of what I'm saying is that I really hope the presence of Pierre and Gonzo's contracts doesn't cloud Ned and Grady's sound judgment.
Those are some reasonable arguments you quoted. The problem with your post was it that it does not substantively respond to any of those points. You simply resorted to personal attacks about my character and propositioned me for some oral.
I noted the points on which we agree, but you have yet to say anything meaningful as to my other concerns.
hahahahahah.wow, that should shut every gonzo vs ethier lefty comparison down. thats not an average lefty on the mound, that was barry zito former cy young all star stud. please guys i think we can all agree gonzo is not ted williams, but he can hit still…the only thing i worry about is his pathetic defense, ive never heard in my 22 years someone say they are in a defensive slump. ethier is just not proven, anyone calling for ethier to carry this team and breakout like we all would like, just remember how bad he looked at the plate from mid july to the end of the season.
……totally overmatched and often left looking red faced….enter marlon anderson.
1) Opening day is tomorrow, and that should be fun for everyone. I'll be in class,
but I'll be rooting for the Dodgers and thinking about how much more intersting following the game on gameday would be than learning about how to use SAS.
2) Will Grady Little continue last year's practice of rewarding great performances with a day off?
3) Ramon Martinez and Wilson Betemit are both hitting for a .067 average so far. I would put Betemit in, though. The advantage of Betemit is twofold: he's more likely to hit the ball harder, and he's more likely to foul off a pitch. Betemit, at least from what I can tell, is among the more adept Dodger hitters at hitting foul balls and having long at bats, registering more pitches per plate appearance than anyone else in the regular lineup, including stats going back to 2001. Over the past few games, it's been clear that short innings are not good for your offense. Besides, he homered in a nationally televised game against a left-handed pitcher in Dodger Stadium last year (yes, Odalis Perez, but still).
4) The cynical "Dodger Blues" site wisely suggested that Furcal's return from the DL should be put off for a little while. Not only can Valdez hit, but it would be wisest to get Furcal to heal more fully, so he is not nagged by an injury for a month again, or worse, that his injury recurs. Remember Furcal was barely better than a pitcher in the lineup in April last year, and also remember everything Eric Gagne said. I know we've had some changes with the training staff, but all I ask is that they do the right thing here.
5) Where I go to school (George Mason University, thus "patriot"), one of the buildings in the freshman housing areas is named for former President Eisenhower. On one of the walls in there is the following quote:
"Here in America we are descended in blood and in spirit from revolutionists and rebels – men and women who dare to dissent from accepted doctrine. As their heirs, may we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion." – Dwight David Eisenhower
Perhaps this goes for us as Dodger fans too, in LA, Virginia, Canada, or wherever else we may be around the globe.
marlon anderson=luis gonzalez ,if he played every day.
…but better defense.
our outfield is packed and people are gonna start being held accountable by performance…. kemp is here to stay and i cant wait to see him go 30/30.
a. I am just calling you stupid, not "other Dodger fans"
b. You prove my point that you are uniformed/pushing the panic buttom by "worrying" about management trading youngsters, something that they have NEVER done.
c. I didnt say anything about your character, simply that your points were dumb, nothing about you as a person.
d. Why should i rebut your own biased concerns? you say management isn;t doing an honest effort– I say trust management because they have proven they can win and willing to do what is nesessary to do so.
You say management is favoring high price vets over promising rooks, but what you fail to mention is that the vets are PROVEN while the rooks are simply promising. Being PROVEN means you get the benefit of the doubt.
If i tell you to blow me, you know i am not propositioning you for anything, so why dont we leave the ***** retorts at the door.
If you cant see how you are hating from your very own quotes than i suppose you are blind– which would actually explain a lot. Please dont respond to this- agree to disagree.
And i am honestly dissenting from the opinions of dodgerdog. I just think my dissent is more honest than his.
the word that was bleeped out was p@nsy. I dont know why they censored that.
I'm all for debates about the quality of players or the decisions of management, but I don't think we need a running argument between dodgerdude and ewk216, and who's dumb, who's character was insulted, etc.
Here's what we know–after a one week road trip, we're 4-2. 88-68 the rest of the way should win the division, and if we win 4 games a week through October, we'll have a parade downtown in October.
As for the question marks on the board, JP is not doing well so far, but we know he's going to get a lot of opportunity. Gonzo after a slow start at the plate is hitting well. And though his defense leaves something to be desired, his offense is making up for it. Betemit is not hitting well, and neither is Nomar. But Nomar's going to play until he says he can't, and has proven that so long as he is healthy, he'll play well. The only question is with as poorly as Betemit is playing, does it become time to try to have him move across the infield and give Loney a chance. If Betemit is still hitting .067 a week from now, that issue will likely heat up.
The starters have been good, the bullpen has been great, the infield defense has been remarkable, and Russell Martin is quietly and unsurprisingly being the team's MVP (hitting, hitting for power, calling great games, throwing runners out, blocking the plate).
So for right now, don't expect anything to change. If you want Gonzo to ride the pine, you're going to have to wait until he plays himself out of the job. Until then, enjoy the games, enjoy opening day, and if you go to the Stadium, let us know how the parking system works out.
a. My opinions are similar to those expressed by "other dodger fans," thus, calling me stupid implicitly includes those dodger fans that agree with me.
b. I have not pushed the "panic" button. I am simply noting my concern that management might be going in the wrong direction.
c. How is calling me "dumb" and "stupid" not saying something about me as a person?
d. How is my concern biased? I do trust management. But its not a blind trust. If someone has a problem with how things are being run then I think there is nothing wrong with saying something about it.
Like I said, its totally possible the current plan will work out. I just don't think its the best way to go.
I don't think my view are dishonest, dumb, or stupid. They're just different than yours.
I agree to disagree–and I can respond to whatever post I please. If you want to make your own rules go start your own blog.
I agree leek. I'm done.
Thanks Kevin. Must admit the snow cover is beautiful. Highways clear in a day this time of year but snow right now is not my favorite thing. Getting anxious to plant. Nice post Kevin and leekfink. Great start to our season. The season will be punctuated with ups and downs. Guys not performing well, overachieving, getting injured, going on streaks, fans second guessing but it all averages out. Good to look at the positives.
I don't think we have an overwhelming #1 pitcher but several good ones with a few good starts in a row. I'm thinking the Yankees with all their firepower would love to have our staff. We do have good relief pitching and depth in pitching. That is to Ned's credit. Seven potential starters on the staff and guys like John Meloan and Greg Miller waiting in the wings. Some baseball analysts have concluded the Dodgers can best survive an injury to a starting pitcher.
I have to conclude Gonzo and Pierre are major league caliber ball players. Perhaps not the best but could play for many teams. The fact we have guys waiting to get in the lineup keeps them hungry and again demonstrates our depth, both on the Dodgers and at AAA. Again, not too many teams have that luxury. We, in fact, have two good lead off hitters, once Raffy plays. Another luxury.
One week does not a season make but it was a good week. Inner defense good, catching very good, pitching good, Kent looks healthy, Nomar, Pierre and Furcal yet to produce and history tells us they will, seventeen extra base hits in six games with four of them home runs and we haven't played at home yet. Doesn't get much better than this. GO DODGERS!!
I still think Gonzos washed up. That said ,I would be very happy to be wrong, if he helps us win games. Ditto about Pierre.
fliegel – Gonzo certainly isn't at the height of his career. We know that. We also know that he will give all he can contribute. When and if that is not enough, Grady has lots of options. He will use them. You are right, the absolute bottom line is games won so I have no doubt management will tend to that bottom line. GO DODGERS!!
That's the bottom line eulman. I'm just a little concerned about the games against the better teams,but time will tell.
you said >>One more thing. I heard Ned's holding a "Most Handsome Dodger" event where we, the fans, get to vote for the sexiest Dodger.<<
Dude that's ***, we'll leave that up to the chicks.
that was a joke, retard.
you obviously either
a) have no sense of humor
b) have no idea who Ricky Ledee is and/or what his AB picture looks like
c) you're totally overcompensating for the fact that you think you might be *** after reading my comment
I can almost imagine what bluebleeder went through while reading my comment –> "hmm.. Sexiest Dodger Contest.. for real?!?! man, that's a great idea!! oh no wait… i'm.. a GUY.. i should post a comment saying its the CHICKS' job to choose the sexiest Dodger… not.. me… yeah.."

It was all good just a year ago.
In 2014, Patrick Dempsey was still television's sexiest neurosurgeon, and living in a house designed by star architect Frank Gehry that had been featured in Architectural Digest. Sure, he had a couple of embarrassing romcoms on his resume — think "Enchanted" and "Made of Honor" — but he was still McDreamy.
Not anymore.
In just a few months, Dempsey, 49, went from being one of the most recognizable stars of Shondaland to co-starring in a Christmas dramedy with Dennis Rodman. His character was written off "Grey's Anatomy," where he was reportedly earning $350,000 per episode. His wife of 15 years, makeup artist...

This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2012, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
The Salt Lake City Redevelopment Agency is pumping new blood, in the form of a $4.5 million loan, into the partially finished Broadway Lofts near Pioneer Park.
"The significance is we finally have a rock-solid developer to finish the project," said Kyle LaMalfa, chairman of the RDA board, which is made up of the Salt Lake City Council.
"It's been an eyesore," he said. "We've been hoping for an opportunity to boost Pioneer Park and the 300 South corridor with new residents in this project."
Ken Milo, the original developer of the high-rise condo project nestled on the east side of 300 South, across from Pioneer Park between 300 and 400 West, ran into hard times in 2009 when the economy and the housing market hit the skids.
But the RDA continued to look at the project as a prime example of future urban living. Earlier this year, the RDA was poised to loan Milo $4.5 million to finish the project, but the deal fell apart.
Enter Micah Peters and James Chellis, who formed BPL South Tower LLC. They acquired the unfinished project for $3.5 million, according to an RDA report, and doubled back to the RDA for a $4.5 million loan.
Tuesday, the board unanimously approved the loan that is expected to be repaid in two years.
"The loft project brings with it an urban lifestyle, like none other [in Salt Lake City]," LaMalfa said. "It's for people who want to downsize and don't need a lot of square footage, but want to be in proximity to what's happening downtown."
It is expected to be completed by the end of 2013.
The Broadway Park Lofts are planned to consist of 17 two-story live/work units; two units of 580 square feet; 10 condos of 700 square feet; 10 apartments of 900 square feet; and 12 units of 1,200 square feet. They are projected to be priced from $95,000 to $525,000.
The collateral on the RDA loan is a first-position lien on the Broadway Park Lofts and a similar position on the Telegraph Exchange Building at 847 S. 800 East, the report said.
"This is a much safer loan than what we approved in March [for Milo]," LaMalfa said. "This is very attractive because [the project] is not a high-leveraged situation."

I used to be so passive
3 comments:
- Jyh Sew said...
Thank you for this interesting post. I would like to share the functions of passive as reasons why language learners would want to understand and differentiate the grammar structure from the rest.
1. Passive is the convenient structure that one can use in making a police report when the culprit is not known.
1a. My car was stolen last night.
1b. My boyfriend was kidnapped in the red-light district.
2. Passive may be used as a power pragmatics by mother-in-law in certain culture to distant the subject from the task as a form authority.
2a. Rice was cooked (by the daughter-in-law) already.
Instead of
2b 'X cooked rice already' with full attention on the subject.
3. One would use passive for less joyous information in Chinese if not all languages.
3a. The examination was taken half-heartedly (by my son).
3b. The interview was conducted hastily (between us).
- July 15, 2013 at 5:08 PM
I appreciate your insight about the use of passive voice. I agree with Jyh Sew that whereas academic language encourages the use of active voice, the passive voice is very pragmatic and most speakers including politicians find it convenient to use it to avoid taking responsibility for certain actions. This could explain why house-help may say:
1. The plates broke.
But I also think a sentence such as this expresses lack of clear intent of breaking the plates or may be the plates were weak.
I like the concept of 'middle voice' It is new to me since I have always held the notion that it falls under passive voice. Is middle passive or simply middle voice? Very interesting.
The song comes in handy to make it very memorable especially by virtue of urging the learner of English as Additional Language [EAL] to explore more about what it discourages- being passive.
'I will no longer be passive.'
Thank you.

Wetland Plants of Wisconsin
|Potamogeton hillii Morong
Hill's Pondweed
Family: Potamogetonaceae
Potamogeton hillii is one of the small linear-leaved pondweeds that often present difficulties in recognition, but healthy specimens should be identifiable. The larger leaves of plants from the few Wisconsin locations appear to be in the range of 1.5 - 2.0 mm wide (although Flora of North America Vol. 22 reports 0.6 - 2.5 mm). The leaves are bristle-tipped, 3-veined (one fainter vein on each side of the mid-vein) and there is a narrow band of lighter cells on each side of the midvein. The peduncles are short (6 - 13.5 mm) and the spikes are very short (few- flowered) and nearly globose. A quick survey of achenes from the Wisconsin populations found the mature, dry achenes to be 3.4 - 3.6 mm long, but this is a very limited sample (FNA reports 2.3 - 4 mm). The lateral keels reported for the achenes of this species are less pronounced than the keys suggest.

It relates to a PL/SQL stored object and is definitely something a PL/SQL developer should know.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous20 July, 2010 05:01
Personally I'd like to see more questions that expand beyond just the PL/SQL language a bit. As long as there is some connection to PL/SQL (as triggers are, obviously) I'd still call it the "PL/SQL Challenge".ReplyDelete
If there were a question regarding, say, CREATE vs CREATE OR REPLACE, I'd say it's relevant to this topic even though it's DDL.
A question about pure SQL is probably out of the question - however, if there were a "SQL Challenge" I'd be there in a flash.
SQL knowledge is required for PL/SQL as such I see nothing wrong with a "pure" SQL question.ReplyDelete
Sure it's strictly speaking DDL and not PL/SQL, but I would also say a question like that is definitely within the scope of PL/SQL Challenge.ReplyDelete
@Jeff Kemp: Quite agree - a SQL Challenge would be fun, there could be quite some tricky questions with analytics and model clause and all the good stuff that allows us to do almost anything in SQL ("almost" obviating the need for doing much PL/SQL ;-)
In my opinion, purely SQL is allowed. Writing a SQL query that takes away a PL/SQL program while executing fast has his benefits and should be encouraged as well. Especially analytical/aggregate functions is a very nice way to manipulate data.ReplyDelete
And it is off course possible to write your own analytical/aggregrate functions using PL/SQL. The STRAGG() function is a very useful enhancement of the language
Maybe you must enhance the rules a bit so that it is explicitly allowed.
Yes, it reasonable to have "pure" SQL allowed - but it shall be said in the rules EXPLICITLY.ReplyDelete
Excellent comments, thanks so much.ReplyDelete
I will generally avoid "pure SQL" questions - actually, what I will do is work on getting a SQL Challenge up and running ASAP!. I will, however, continue to offer quizzes that "intersect" with SQL and DDL, that are clearly of relevance to developers writing PL/SQL.
Do you think I need to modify the rules to make this much clear?

Pre-Spring 2014
Our Pre-Spring 2014 Collection is about making your mark. The aesthetic is rough, inspired by the concrete pavements, subways and brick walls that make up our urban wasteland.
We channel strong street culture energy and force the classic — check and leopard patterns — into raw, smudgy prints. Runny black ink and pink spray graffiti set the tone. Random flow pen scribbles create T–shirt, sweat and sweat pant graphics. A sprayed leopard print recurs on a mini denim skirt, jacket and jeans. The jersey program has been bombed with sprayed letters and skulls. The silhouette is loose with a strong street reference in boxy tops and wide, knitted sweaters. Bomber details on shirts, sweaters, contrast collars and cuffs add an active touch. Layered jersey dresses and a super short skirt gives a styled yet casual look with an attitude. The denim collection is focused with a new slubby super stretchy fabric in three classic shades of blue. A color story where the overdye effect is drifting between two shades brings brightness and vibrancy to the denim range. The grey and black leopard print runs through the denim line emphasizing the saturated scrawled look of the collection. A new, deep indigo denim is also featured in the rigid line, and is available as unwashed or in a light blue wash with a dirty tint.

Rated: PG for some thematic elements.
Release Date: 2008-08-15
Starring: Henry Gilroy, Steve Melching, Scott Murphy
Film Genre:
Country: USA
Official Website: http://www.starwars.com/theclonewars/
Go to our film page
Unless you are a hardcore Star Wars fan, it will be difficult for the average moviegoer to remember all six, oh my humble apologies, seven Star Wars film episodes. With that said, in preparation to see the new computer animated 'Star Wars: The Clone Wars' film, questions were beginning to emerge in me about George Lucas' creativity. Is he stuck for eternity in this Star Wars bubble and is he incapable of filming anything else? I believe it is a warranted question. This is the same guy who wrote, directed, casted, and edited 'American Graffiti', a cinematic effort that earned him five Oscar nominations in 1974. That is evidence he can do something else outside of 'the force' – so why doesn't he? This, my friends, is the million dollar question.
Lucas has been driven, for some time now, to create this new animated feature to coincide with the launch of his Lucasfilm Animation universe. The movie transports us to the middle of episodes two and three (as communicated to me by a Warner Bros. representative) where Jedi Knights struggle to maintain order and restore peace. Systems are falling prey to the forces of the dark side as the Galactic Republic slips further under the sway of the Separatists. Anakin Skywalker (soon to be Darth Vader) and his Padawan learner Ahsoka Tano (a sort of intern) find themselves on a mission that brings them face-to-face with crime lord Jabba the Hutt. But Count Dooku and his sinister agents, including the nefarious Asajj Ventress, will stop at nothing to ensure that Anakin and Ahsoka fail at their quest. Notable is a cameo of Samuel L. Jackson lending his voice for his character Mace Windu.
Since new characters are introduced here, and not continued in the following adventures of the Jedis, it is hard to say whether or not this film fits in nicely with the rest of the episodes. We will have to wait and see.
Nevertheless, boy was it entertaining! It began with great animated fighting sequences and it kept that tempo throughout the very end, a characteristic that spells out pure fun. I would actually dare to say it was more entertaining than Lucas' recent Star Wars trilogy – Episodes I, II and III. Most of this decision is based on Hayden Christensen's vapid and uninspiring acting as Anakin Skywalker in the aforementioned works, resulting in an unmemorable experience. These computer generated 'actors' did a better job of engaging me than he.
The premise was easy enough to understand, the characters were likable, the sequences were dynamic and full of brio. The film is obviously for fans of the Star Wars saga, but looking to attract young new legions of fans.

The turbines are being produced by Spanish turbine manufacturer Eozen. For now, the factory, located in the Granada district of Ferreira, is producing just two 1.5MW permanent magnet direct drive turbines for the nearby 3MW experimental Padul wind development.
In 2005, Eozen acquired rights to produce the turbine under license to German technologist Vensys, which was acquired by Goldwind in 2008. The 1.5MW direct-drive turbine designed by Vensys has been Goldwind's main product offering in recent years.
Eozen told Windpower Monthly it will test and certify the machine at Padul, with eyes set mainly on export markets. The company also holds hopes for a thawing of the domestic market, where it has orders for 70MW in the sidelines.
The Ferreira factory had barely turned out a dozen turbines — exported to Portugal and India — before the government froze approval of subsidies for new wind projects in 2009.
Speaking to Windpower Monthly in September, Goldwind chief executive Wu Gang said Goldwind had no ambitions in Europe and was comfortable leaving the market to Vensys.

Seventeen students will play six pianos in unison during the 17th annual Piano Bash at Missouri University of Science and Technology. S&T piano students will perform their final exam of the semester by hosting this event that is free and open to the public.
The bash will be held at 7 p.m. Friday, May 3, in Room 138 Castleman Hall, 10th and Main streets in Rolla. The concert will be conducted by Lorie Francis, a lecturer in the arts, languages and philosophy department at Missouri S&T and piano instructor.
The set list includes "Black Key Suite," "Bouncin' Boogie" and "Straw Hat Strut," as well as popular television themes for "The Munsters," "Star Trek" and "The Addams Family."
The pieces contain from two to six different parts, with several students playing the same parts in harmony, similar to a band or choir. The students who will perform are expected to learn their music, rehearse with their small group and attend two full rehearsals. Many have never been in an ensemble with a conductor, so they must learn the various conducting patterns and the skill of following the conductor.
"Performing in an ensemble is an important part of the students' music education," says Francis. "In this case, it means that you are not the only person playing your part. Everyone, beginning pianists to advanced players, gets a chance to perform without the pressure of playing alone."
For more information, contact Francis at firstname.lastname@example.com or call the Missouri S&T performing arts office at 573-341-4185.

JOHNSON CITY (Jan. 21, 2012) – While ETSU's men's basketball team struggled to make shots, Lipscomb's Jordan Burgason hit nine 3-pointers and scored a career high 33 points to lift the Bisons to a 73-65 win over the Buccaneers in Atlantic Sun Conference basketball action Saturday afternoon inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center.
A crowd of nearly 4,500 fans looked on as ETSU had its five-game winning streak snapped and dropped to 10-8 overall, 5-3 in A-Sun action. Meanwhile, Lipscomb improved to 10-10, 5-3 on the year.
"It's a tough loss. We just didn't play well enough to win," said ETSU head coach Murry Bartow. "We didn't have an answer for Burgason, and that was from the get go. They made some big threes when they needed them – especially late in the game. It's hard to win when you aren't shooting the ball well, and we didn't shoot it well tonight."
While Burgason and the entire Lipscomb team combined to hit 15-of-26 3-pointers (57.7 percent), ETSU shot just 37 percent from the floor for the game and only 20 percent (5-of-25) from 3-point range).
Even so, ETSU had its chances to win after going on a 17-0 run early in the second half which gave the Bucs a 51-44 lead after having trailed by 10 at 44-34. ETSU junior guard Jarvis Jones (Memphis) was the key to the Bucs 17-0 run, scoring 11 points during that run and finishing with a career high 18 points in the contest.
However, at that point Lipscomb hit four straight 3-pointers to regain the advantage at 59-56, and the Bisons never relinquished that edge the rest of the game.
Lipscomb's 3-point shooting was the story of the first half as well, as the Bisons connected on eight shots from beyond the arc and shot nearly 70 percent from outside. Burgeson led the attack for Lipscomb, hitting five 3-pointers – which included the first three baskets of the game for the Bisons – on way to a game-high 15 points before the intermission.
The Bucs trailed throughout the first half and had gotten to within three at 33-30 before Lipscomb closed out the half with back-to-back 3-pointers to make it 39-30 at the break.
For the contest, ETSU had an impressive 24 offensive rebounds, took 18 more shots than the Bisons, and actually hit one more field goal for the game. However, the fact the Bisons had 10 more made 3-pointers negated any of those positive stats for the Bucs.
Along with Burgason, the Bisons got 17 points from Martin Smith, including two clutch 3-pointers in the final four minutes that helped lift Lipscomb to the victory.
For ETSU, Jones led the way with his 18, while senior guard Tommy Hubbard (Boston) posted a double-double with 14 points and 10 boards. Junior guard Sheldon Cooley (Tampa) pitched in 10 points in the losing effort.
Despite the loss, the Bucs still have a chance to move even with Belmont in the conference standings on Monday, as the Bruins invade the Dome at 7 p.m. For more on ETSU men's basketball throughout the season, visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the men's hoops link.

That's right, a complete visual make-over. Perhaps you noticed?
First things first. Credit for the new design goes to Nicole Hanusek. She has a fine eye and the patience to deal with people who know exactly what they want, but are having a hard time describing it, because they really have no idea what they want. Except good, they want good. Oh, and like that other site. But not exactly. Or even really at all. Seriously, at least we both wanted basically the same thing, even if not quite exactly the same. We were definitely in agreement on almost every aspect, except that one bit. Oh, and that other bit.
If she ever rolled her eyes at us, we never saw.
Secondly, thank you for all the emails praising the new design. We really did get quite a few that complimented us by saying things like, "Hey, what happened to the rss feeds?", and "Where the hell are the alternate domains?", and also "p.s. yeah, um, the new site. it's ok." To all of the hundreds of thousands of people who use Mailinator every day, "You're welcome!"
To answer all your compliments, the rss feeds still work fine. We just forgot to paste in the little graphic. Oops. It's there now. The alternate domains also still work fine. You can keep using sogetthis.com, mailin8r.com, and the others. We're going to be adding more, and changing a few other things, so we decided to not put the list up just yet.
We didn't just put new make-up on the old Mailinator though, the back-end has been extensively tweaked to provide even better performance. Some bugs were fixed (though it seems like there's always one more). Throughput has improved, which is a good thing as we sometimes peak at over 10 million emails a day. The memory footprint is actually smaller now, so we should be able to keep emails around for longer. Yes, the whole thing still runs on a single server. If you need hosting, you should definitely consider ServerBeach. They've been great for us (much better than our previous host), and if you use the code BA83A6U6H2 you'll save $100.
There's more to come, too. For example, we're working on internationalizing the service by adding support for UTF-8 in email. We know that some of you want to read your Korean spam in Korean, and we're trying to help. To all you Germans who use Mailinator to sign up for accounts on sites that provide "art" videos, we want to process your umlauts with the passion they deserve. To everyone working hard in Bangalore (hi guys! hot enough for ya?) and using Mailinator to sign up for yet another linux forum, we would love - LOVE! - to be able to correctly render emails in each and every one of the 22 official languages of India. And do you think there's anyone in China who might appreciate an instant, anonymous, and disposable email service (but doesn't speak English)? Yeah, we thought so too.
Making the back-end do all that correctly is harder than we thought, but we're working on it. The real problem is that when we called up a professional translation service to ask how much it would cost to get our web site translated into, say, Icelandic, they wanted more than the cracked button, 5 bottle caps, and $2.87 in change we found under our desks. So we're asking for volunteers. If, for example, anyone out there speaks Lithuanian and would like to do us a favour, one of us could use a date. Oh, and also if you wouldn't mind translating some text for us so we can have a Lithuanian version of our homepage for all you Lithuanian speaking Lithuanians, that'd be great!
French would be nice too.

Will Microsoft Open a Branch Office in iPad Land?
Feb 22, 2012 9:49 AM PT
A sighting "in the wild" of Microsoft Office for the iPad set speculative tongues wagging Tuesday, even as the Redmond crew denied the existence of the app.
The buzz began when Matt Hickey wrote in The Daily that the app was only weeks away. He also scribbled that he had hands-on experience with a prototype of the app. A photo of an iPad running the software accompanied his report.
The software's interface contained elements of Microsoft's only app for the iPad, OneNote, and its Metro interface found in the company's mobile operating system Windows Phone 7 and its upcoming Windows 8 OS, according to the report.
Microsoft disavowed Hickey's report. "The Daily story is based on inaccurate rumors and speculation," the company said in a statement provided to MacNewsWorld by Serina Hall, account coordinator for Waggener Edstrom. "We have no further comment."
Exclusive for Microsoft Tablets?
Analysts interviewed by MacNewsWorld who are familiar with the tablet market were divided on the prospects of a version of Office for the iPad.
Microsoft may not want to bring Office to the iPad because it wants it to be exclusive to tablets running Windows 8, hypothesized Michael Cherry, an analyst with Directions On Microsoft. "If Office is only available on the Windows 8 tablets when they release, that might give people a reason to buy Windows 8 tablets," he reasoned.
There are financial considerations, too, he added. "Most of the apps for the iPad don't have a very high price tag," he noted. "Microsoft may be asking itself can it make money writing Office for the iPad?"
"I use my iPad all the time, and I don't feel like I have to have Office to make my iPad valuable at work," he added.
Windows 8 Carrot
The Office guys at Microsoft see the iPad as a huge potential market, but the device guys see Office as a carrot to attract users to Windows 8 tablets, observed IDC analyst Tom Mainelli.
"When Microsoft looks at the market and what it needs to do to make Windows 8 tablets successful, it sees Office as a key component for that," he said.
"Even if there's an Office for the iPad in the works, we probably won't see it until Windows 8 tablets ship into the market," he added.
As an iPad user, Mainelli confessed that he'd love to have a version of Office that ran on the tablet. "There are plenty of third-party apps that do what Office does, but none of them can promise a level of compatibility with a real-deal Office application," he observed.
Balancing Act
Microsoft needs to balance any potential financial gains from an Office for iPad product with financial and strategic gains for Windows 8, Mainelli's IDC colleague Al Hilwa explained.
"That's a tough decision," he said. "That's why I'd say," he continued, "that if Microsoft does support the iPad, it won't do it until Windows 8 is out and it's a big success."
That doesn't mean, however, that an Office for the iPad couldn't be in the works at the division of Microsoft that makes products for Apple's computer lines. Its Office team works separately from the Windows Office team.
"That group could do Office for the iPad and do it reasonably well," observed Rob Enderle, president and principal analyst of the Enderle Group.
"If this rumor is true, then the development path will go to the Mac development group, not the Office for Windows group, and that's how they're going to make it work," he added.
Best Guess: It's Coming
Microsoft is a big company, and in big companies it's not unusual to have divergent interests, explained Gartner Vice President for Mobile Computing Ken Dulaney.
"Not every business unit works in lockstep with the other one," he noted. "They all have individual profit goals."
So Microsoft could be hedging its tablet strategy, he continued.
"It's like betting on two things, hoping that both will work out, but if only one works out, at least you've won something," he said.
Historically, Microsoft has made Office for Apple products, he explained. So there seems, he continued, that there's some logic behind Microsoft creating a version of Office for the iPad.
"If I were writing a research note on this," he added, "I'd say that there are existing data points that would make me guess that they're going to make a version of Office for the iPad."

Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA)
Docosahexaenoic (or docosahexanoic) acid (DHA), one of the omega-3 fatty acids, appears to possess beneficial influences on human visual function and may be important in the infant diet. The triple long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid DHA is one of the least saturated fatty acids in the human body, and is highly enriched in the membrane lipids of rod photoreceptors in the human eye, but also concentrates in the brain. Docosahexaenoic acid, sometimes referred to by nutritionists as "brain oil," is one of the primary structural components of brain tissues, which are 60 percent fats.
View a second image of docosahexaenoicacid.
Naturally found in fish oils, such as cod liver, tuna, and mackerel, as well as some organ meats and eggs, docosahexaenoic acid is also synthesized in the laboratory and available as a commercial dietary supplement. One form of DHA is extracted from microalgae grown under tight controls and offers a vegetarian source for the fatty acid. In nature, docosahexaenoic acid acts as "antifreeze", and in general, the colder the water, the higher the omega-3 fatty acid content of the fish oil and seaweeds. The essential fatty acid, alpha-linolenic acid, provides the stock in the human body for the biosynthesis of DHA and the related omega-3 fatty acid, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), but many humans have depressed enzyme activity for their production.
Patients exhibiting retinitis pigmentosa have DHA levels in their red blood cells that are significantly reduced (40 percent less) from that of normally sighted people. Statistical analyses show a significant correlation between cone photoreceptor function and red blood cell docosahexaenoic acid levels. For normal vision to develop, DHA must accumulate in the retinal membranes. For pre-term infants fed commercial corn oil-based formula instead of breast-fed milk or DHA-enriched formula, delayed responses to light stimuli have been observed. In contrast, cow milk is high in saturated fats and low in DHA concentration. From other studies, adult dyslexics show poorer dark adaptation than normal adults, and if given docosahexaenoic acid as a dietary supplement (480 milligrams per day), scotopic vision improves significantly.
The balance of fatty acids in various diets around the world may reflect varying risks of breast cancer. Other health attributes for high docosahexaenoic acid intake include reduced heart disease, reduced blood triglycerides, partial reversals in diabetes mellitus, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, depression and schizophrenia treatments, and possible delays in the onset of autoimmune disease (primarily AIDS).

LW360 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de impreso o envases y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 102 diseños de 19 diseñadores freelance.
Live Well 360
Live Well 360 is launching a line of fitness bags, for what the company has termed, the sophisticated fitness enthusiast. These bags will be very different from anything that is currently on the market, as they combine style and function. They are the anti-duffel bag.
Live Well 360 is also about more than fitness bags. The company understands that consumers who buy fitness apparel and accessories are buying more than a commodity. They are buying a product that gives them permission to honor themselves.
Health and fitness is very personal, it's a commitment to oneself. For many people, it's a total lifestyle change. And fitness products, particularly the fitness bag, which is a core part of any fitness routine, should help the person honor this commitment, making it fun and easy, and should emphasize the visceral feeling that health and fitness is a gift to oneself. Something they "get" to do, not have to do.
Live Well 360's target customer is the sophisticated fitness enthusiast, an individual that places a high priority on health, fitness and the feeling of satisfaction that a stylish and functional product offers them. The majority of these people are apt to be college-educated professionals that view themselves as successful and trend-savvy. The mix skews towards women and in general these individuals tend to be between the ages of 25 and 45. They are searching for fresh and exciting solutions that will make their fitness routine fun and easy, while also offering style and individuality.
Live Well 360 needs a hang tag designed that will be used on all styles of its new line of fitness bags. The hang tag should align with the sophisticated yet fun message that the company's line of bags will offer.
Size: approximately 2" x 5", cannot be longer than 5" or it will not hang correctly on the bag (too long).
Tag should have a grommet.
Color: We are leaning toward neutral colors (black, white, gray), so that it will go well with any bag color/design combo, however we are open to any fun ideas you may have.
Website: Our current website is http://livewell360.com/ however the color/look/feel will soon change to match this sophisticated/fun message, and your design may help determine the new look/feel.
Tag Front: Use Logo Text and Logo Swirl, be creative.
Tag Back: Include the following text (or something similar):
"Intersecting style and function for the sophisticated fitness enthusiast that lives inside you.
Images of sample hang tags that we like are attached. We thought the idea of using the Liner Pattern as the shiny background detail might be cool. We will offer various color color combinations of the liner, so feel free to change the accent color and/or keep it neutral so that it can be used across the line.
Use of silver foil for text/logo might also be cool.
Deliverables: adobe illustrator or photoshop files and high res .jpgs.

OK ... so this "Kingston All Stars Meet Downtown At King Tubbys" on Kingston Sounds compilation is belatedly tempting me.
Am I just a chump, knowing full well as I do that KS is affiliated with Jamaican Recordings (and consequently I've avoided both labels like the plague)? Or might this actually be a legitimate release (i.e. actually played, voiced, and mixed in the 1970s)? I haven't found much about this release online other than here (where there is indeed the suggestion that the mixes aren't authentic , but I thought I'd ask nonetheless to see if there is any consensus):

Rule of thumb: When you have a great idea ... at 3:55 in the morning ... after a long night of drinking ... well, it's probably not a great idea. In fact, it might be a really, really bad idea. Especially if it involves your wife, your buddy and a "sex act." (Otherwise known as a threesome.)
Another rule of thumb: If you mention your great idea involving a sex act to your buddy and he's not into it, you probably shouldn't bring it up again. And again. And again. Because remember, your buddy's been drinking all night, too, and he's probably going to get a little ticked off and say something along the lines of howzabout he has a two-some with your wife instead and then, inevitably, somebody's gonna start swingin' ... an aluminum baseball bat.
Apparently no one ever told 44-year-old Robert Briley about any of this stuff, because if someone had, the Florida resident probably wouldn't have ended up in jail. (And, presumably, in seriously hot water with his wife.)
According to the police report, "Briley wanted his wife to engage in fellatio with his friend, and then the three would have sex. When Briley pushed the issue further, the friend said he would take Briley's 37-year-old wife into his room alone."
That's when Briley "allegedly became irate" and started swinging an aluminum baseball bat at his friend. Yikes! Good thing everybody was really drunk and tired, because they all fell asleep before anybody could actually get hurt.
Briley's unwilling-to-tango buddy called the cops anyway. Of course he denied the baseball bat swinging when the police officers roused him from his inebriated slumber -- possibly because he truly didn't remember -- but they charged him with aggravated assault and hauled him off to jail anyway.
On the bright side, Briley should probably be able to make that whole threesome thing happen in prison!
What would you do if your husband did something like this?

Draped French Braid Pony Seen on Pinterest: The How-To
If you happen to be one of MODERN SALON's nearly 90,000 Facebook fans, no doubt you've witnessed our addiction to Pinterest—where users create pinboards to collect and socially share images and articles that inspire them.
We love using the newly launched social media site to "repin" hair styles, nail designs, fashion, salon decor ideas, and all things beauty. Recently, we came across this braid on Pinterest—which was originally pinned from weheartit.com.
When we repinned it on Pinterest, and shared it on Facebook, our fans went WILD! This look was one of our top "talked about" posts ever. It reached 1,748 "likes," hundreds of shares and nearly 300 comments in about an HOUR. AN HOUR!
Though we were able to see how the braid was constructed, we didn't feel confident enough to explain how to do it. So, we turned to you, the experts, with a challenge to recreate the look. Marci, from 1033 Main Salon and Spa in Mumford, New York, not only did so, but provided a step-by-step video on how to achieve it. Watch her video below to see her in action.
Think you've got what it takes to tackle the Pinterest braid? Do it! And share it on MODERN's Facebook wall, or upload it to MODERN SALON TV's YOUSHARE, who knows, you could be the next MODERN SALON FEATURED ARTIST and appear on an episode of MODERN SALON TV, the professional beauty industry's leading community of beauty-related videos. Watch the current episode here, and start thinking of how YOU can be our next featured talent!

Mariah Carey & Nick Cannon Throw First Birthday Party For Twins
Most kids get paper hats and some cake for their birthday, but for Mariah and Nick twins, it's only the best. Little 'Roc and 'Roe were treated to a fancy party in a Paris hotel!
We expected nothing less from Mariah Carey and hubby Nick Cannon. They celebrated her twins Moroccon Scott and Monroe's first birthday all decked out in angelic white!
Lavish from beginning to end, Mariah, 42, and Nick, 31, had their hotel suite decorated with blue and pink star-shaped balloons and gave out champagne to their guests…well, we're assuming their guests of age. There were also custom-made French pastries and plenty of gifts inside the Plaza Athenee where the bash was held, according to the Daily Mail.
Mariah was in a form-fitting gown (of course) and Monroe was adorable in a white party dress with floral details and a tiny bow for her hair. Moroccan looked as handsome as his daddy, both in ivory suits.
This trip to France was also to commemorate the lovebirds' fourth wedding anniversary, where they renewed their vows in front of The Eiffel Tower on April 30.
Wishing the family lots of love in this happy time!
