Striking Vintage Photos of Teenage Greasers
Hair slicked back, faces clenched, hands tucked in leather jacket pockets — you can almost feel the tension between the photographer and these teen greasers, these James Dean wannabes, the dolled-up gals laughing over their shoulders. In fact, while photographer Joseph Sterling prowled the beach, the tattoo shops, the cafes, and other teenage hangouts in the late '50s and early '60s, he got roughed up. "Then they turned around and gave him a couple of dollars to bring back pictures," Paul Berlanga of Chicago's Stephen Daiter Gallery explains. Sterling was shooting his thesis for Chicago's Institute of Design and captured a slice of history and raw vigor. Spotted by the Retronaut, check out these photos of beach-side make outs, double dates over ice cream floats, and girl gang night jaunts.

Website almost finished, but we need a design (background) for the header and footer.
The design is for an online litterary magazine. The litterary influence does not have to determine the design - we welcome suggestions that are thought completely out of the box. However, if used as a point of origin for inspiration, the litterary influence should not be expressed overtly in the design (i.e. no bookcases, no quills, no parchment etc).
No detailed audience description.
Graphically concise - almost to the point of being shockingly simple - but still dynamic and energetic.

Federal statisticians issued unexpectedly bad news Wednesday, saying the economy contracted in the last three months of 2012 — the first downturn since the recovery began in mid-2009. The sour numbers weren't as bad as they seemed at first, yet they still sent a clear signal that the economy is too fragile to withstand a sudden shift to fiscal austerity. Unfortunately, Congress doesn't seem to be getting the message.
The Commerce Department's Bureau of Economic Analysis reported that U.S. gross domestic product shrank by 0.1% in the fourth quarter of 2012, after growing 3.1% in the third quarter. The two main factors in the contraction were sharp reductions in military spending — not unusual for that time of year — and business inventories. In fact, much of the growth in the third quarter stemmed from increases in those two areas. Over the course of the year, GDP grew 2.2%, or about half as fast as would have been expected in the typical recovery.
Considering the havoc caused by Superstorm Sandy and the uncertainty surrounding the so-called fiscal cliff, the fourth quarter could have been worse. And the economy may still sink further. As a result of a last-minute compromise on the fiscal cliff, temporary cuts in payroll taxes (for all wage earners) and income taxes (for the highest incomes) lapsed at the beginning of the year. And in March, more than $100 billion in across-the-board cuts to discretionary spending programs are scheduled to begin. This kind of double whammy could push the country back into recession.

Thangamayil Jewellery Limited (TMJL) is a publicly listed Indian jewellery retailer based out of Madurai. Thangamayil Jewellery primarily sells gold, silver, diamonds and platinum jewellery. Prior to the formation of Thangamayil Jewellery Private Limited in the year 2000, business was carried on by the promoters of the company, in the name of "Balu Jewellery", at Madurai. The company primarily deals with four product lines, i.e., Gold, Silver, Diamonds and Platinum; the sale of gold being a predominant source of its income.

TMJL has also established four manufacturing units that employ in-house goldsmiths to craft designer jewellery, which are in vogue with the current trends in the marketplace. The company instituted a number of savings schemes to suit the specific needs of various demographics, distinguishing itself a great deal from the run-of-the-mill business practices in retail jewellery.

A couple of inspo images from Tumblr. The last one is probably my favorite out of the mix, something about it just screams "Carpe Diem" maybe it's the sheer insanity of riding a swing above the city, or the spontaneity of doing such a thing. Anyways, it's here on my inspo's because it's an image that inspires me to seize the day; be exhilarated and enjoy the broad spectrums of life. In other words - "yolo".

General Comments: Futures were higher on some short covering before the weekend. Trends turned down for the short term last week, but prices remain in the recent trading range longer term. Futures are testing support areas now. Current crop development is good this year in Brazil, and production areas are getting beneficial rain for the developing crop. Central America crops are mostly harvested. There are widespread reports of rust on the trees and leaves, and Roya has become a big issue as well. It is possible that many Central America and Mexico producers will harvest much less Coffee next year if they are affected by this disease, and many seem to be affected. Crops in Central America will see some significant losses due to Roya next year, and some yields have been impacted this year. Yield losses could be 30% or more. Colombia is reported to have good conditions.
Overnight News: Certified stocks are higher today and are about 2.619 million bags. The ICO composite price is now 132.98 ct/lb. Brazil should get mostly dry conditions this week and scattered showers and storms this weekend and into next week. Temperatures will average near normal. Colombia should get mostly dry conditions, and Central America and Mexico should get mostly dry conditions. Temperatures should average near to above normal. Vietnam exported 200,000 tons of Coffee in January, up 22.7% from December. Year to date exports are now 587,000 tons, from 371,000 tons last year.
Chart Trends: Trends in New York are mixed to down with objectives of 140.00 March. Support is at 145.50, 142.50, and 141.00 March, and resistance is at 151.50, 154.50, and 158.00 March. Trends in London are mixed. Support is at 1930, 1905, and 1900 March, and resistance is at 1965, 1980, and 1985 March. Trends in Sao Paulo are mixed to down with objectives of 179.00 March. Support is at 179.50, 179.00, and 176.00 March, and resistance is at 182.00, 183.00, and 185.00 March.
General Comments: Futures closed a little lower in front months and little higher in deferred months in consolidation trading. Most traders still note that big supplies appear to be available to the market, and that is the main reason for weaker nearby futures. Demand is there, but not in big amounts as most buyers are not worried about prices. Most statistical organizations continue to look for a big surplus production for the year. Production has been strong in Brazil so far this year, and reports say that the new crop production looks to be strong as well. Exports from Brazil continue to be very strong after the delayed start to the program. Futures trends are down. Big Brazil production remains negative to prices, and traders know that Indian and Thai production is in the market, too. The Thai crushing season is underway with good production expected, but the crushing pace remains slow. Traders wonder if and when India will cut offers to the market due to the lower prices and perhaps less than expected production due to some dry weather at the beginning of the growing season.
Overnight News: Scattered and light showers are expected in Brazil this week. Temperatures should be near normal.
Chart Trends: Trends in New York are mixed. Support is at 1800, 1770, and 1740 March, and resistance is at 1860, 1885, and 1905 March. Trends in London are mixed. Support is at 480.00, 475.00, and 470.00 March, and resistance is at 491.00, 495.00, and 496.00 March.
General Comments: Futures closed lower. Good arrivals in Africa are negative and are continuing. Ivory Coast arrivals are strong, and the trend for strong arrivals from there should continue. However, arrivals from other west African countries are starting to move lower. Malaysia and Indonesia crops appear to be in good condition and weather is called favorable. Overall weather patterns in West Africa production areas are good for harvest progress. Demand is reported weaker from the US and Europe, in part due to current economics and in part due to changes forced by the World Bank that encouraged forward marketing of the crops. Traders are starting to look ahead and past the midcrop harvest and note that the market could move to a production deficit next year. Ivory Cost growing conditions are reported good right now as the Harmattan winds are subsiding without causing any real damage to crops. Some showers have been reported as well. The better weather is needed as it was too dry last year.
Overnight News: Mostly dry conditions are expected in West Africa, but some showers are expected. Temperatures will average mostly above normal. Malaysia and Indonesia should see episodes of scattered showers, but Malaysia will be drier this weekend. Temperatures should average near normal. Brazil will get scattered showers and warm temperatures. ICE certified stocks are lower today at 3.738 million bags.
Chart Trends: Trends in New York are down with objectives of 2100 March. Support is at 2155, 2145, and 2115 March, with resistance at 2210, 2230, and 2250 March. Trends in London are mixed to down with no objectives. Support is at 1410, 1405, and 1380 March, with resistance at 1455, 1465, and 1480 March.

dealbst wrote:I think I removed the stick. I threw it for a dog. He was very happy
dealbst, thanks for your efforts, but the stick is still there. Actually, it's more like a "post"--I estimate it at 4x4.
I was driving back from the Racetrack yesterday and since the tide was pretty low I decided to venture out and take a look. I could only get to within about 20 feet of it before I was in chest-high water and sinking into the mud--I think my original estimate was off, it's more like 150 feet or so from shore. I snapped some pictures (see below) with my phone. I believe low tide was at 3:30 pm and I was there around 5 pm.
The post doesn't seem to be moving around a whole lot which gives me the impression it's pretty firmly planted in the sand, and not just some piece of junk that floated over there. So far, it looks like removal is going to require a little more than just walking over to it and plucking it out. But some of you probably know a lot more about these operations than I do. Don't know how feasible it would be, but hopefully all this will at least give you a heads-up so you can be cautious when riding in that area.
Here's the approximate location (courtesy of Google maps):
This is what it looks like from about 20 or 30 feet away. There's probably about four or five feet of it hidden underwater:
Here's what you see on the shore when you're lined up with the hazard. This is the first large set of trees you'd pass after launching:
This is approximately where you're lined up in relationship to the Point (actually, the hazard is about 20 feet further out):
This is to give you an idea of where the tide was when these photos were taken:

Cattle Branding: Tradition Without a Heart
by Kathleen Stachowski
— "On a cold, windy April morning…nothing beats standing around an open fire… warming a set of irons."
Thus begins a paean to cattle branding in an article ("A Family Affair") that recently stole into my house undercover—embedded in the monthly magazine from the Montana Electric Cooperatives' Association. Here in the rural west you don't have to go looking for stories of animal exploitation—often as not, they come to you, frequently extolling this celebrated heritage or that time-honored tradition that reduces animals to commodity or quest.
Soon the daily paper will begin its seasonal pictorial assault with ritual images of self-congratulatory hunters and their dead trophies. Then fur trapping season will roll around. Because a move is afoot to eliminate trapping on Montana's public land, the state management agency will remind us that trapping is a "time honored heritage" since the days of Lewis and Clark.
According to "A Family Affair" (full article, scroll down here):
Branding season has been part of the fabric of the west for well over a hundred years, and branding itself remains the undisputed mark of ownership for the millions of cattle that graze the rangelands of the region. For all those who have never been around to witness the time-honored tradition of cattle branding, you are truly missing out.
But longevity alone doesn't make a practice right. Some things are just wrong; others fall out of favor over time as science advances our knowledge. Fewer than 400 years ago, Cartesian scientists nailed fully-conscious dogs to boards and cut them open to view their inner workings, believing they were nothing more than organic machines devoid of thought and feeling. Yes, we've come a long way in our regard for animals since then, but shades of Descartes still haunt today. …

Home - Our Approach
For the past decade we have documented the most disruptive period in the marketing industry since television was invented. We've helped agencies and brands manage the transition from mass to fragmented media, from brand broadcasting towards consumer conversation.
A relentless curiosity about new technology underpins everything we do. Yet our primary concern is how brands should be using technology to deliver genuine benefit to the everyday lives of their audience.
Consumer Culture
Even the smartest marketing ideas are meaningless without cultural resonance. We balance a focus on innovation against an expert understanding of the nuanced patterns and shifts in audience behaviour.

With the pre-toy fair events behind us, we start the hunt for the best toys of 2010 tomorrow in earnest. Thousands of exhibitors, both large and small, present their new toys at the International Toy Fair in NYC. When I started covering toy fair, the big guys were all at the Toy Building at 23rd Street and Broadway. We would try to schedule our appointments so that we could walk our way down the building. The elevators – always a scary event were full of buyers, toy makers and reps…and when I first started, they all seemed to smoke. It was really gross. Of course, this was also the era of showbiz at toy fair. There were life size women that became Malibu Barbie…complete with pink shag rugs, moving stages and spotlights. If Hasbro was introducing a new pirates toy, you could count on pirates carrying on a sword fight in the showroom. There was plenty of sizzle! Now it's just a trade show–all of the actors are gone. The toy building is being converted into condos. Even Matchbox has stopped giving out special toy fair editions (very sad). In any case…here's what we see as the emerging trends.
Retro is In
Strawberry Shortcake, Alfie, Monopoly, Life, Twister–are all major players at toy fair this season. Monopoly now comes with a board you build yourself or here's a break through, a round play board (see below) as part of Monopoly Revolution. Pretty revolutionary–it takes two million dollars to pass go! The new versions of Twister no longer have that wonderfully smelly plastic mat. Many of these versions look like fun. And let's face it with the Twister brand, you're probably more likely to try it than if it had a whole new name!
Licenses Prevail
If there's a successful franchise, you'll see it everywhere. Ironman is back full force and Star Wars has captured the hearts of a whole new generation thanks to the Clone Wars. But we wonder whether Weebles really needed to incorporate the Hulk and Spiderman?
Battle of the Battling
There will be a battle for your child's battle dollars between Spinmaster's Bakugan and Hasbro's Beyblade. This will be determined by the nearest 8 and 9 year old near you!
Zhu Zhu Pets are Challenged- Last year's run away hit is being challenged by Hasbro who wants part of that rodent action and is introducing a competing line of motion activated pets called Furry Frenzies.
Sushi and Microwavable Easy Bake food
Food is big in toyland. Last year we got at least a dozen different food related kits including a motion activated birthday cake (Leapfrog). This year the trend continues with Sushi Ottomans (sushistyle.com) and perhaps one of the biggest sign of the times, Easy Bake Kits for the microwave. It's as if maybe enough kids mentioned in a focus group that they could make the same food in 2 minutes in their microwave!
Retro Dolls
Barbie is all about looking back at her past careers and Strawberry Shortcake, now 30 is a little big taller!

After a lengthy battle with the city over regulation and permit issues, the Logan Square Kitchen has announced that its business is no longer economically viable and that it will permanently close its doors on June 28.
The Logan Square Kitchen is a shared-use kitchen, which currently hosts about 20 active businesses, all of whom will need to find a new kitchen in order to keep their businesses operating.
Ed Kraft, owner of The Baked Escape, said he is concerned that he may not be able to find a new home for his baked goods operation, or that his business may suffer from a move to a new location.
"I was surprised. I know that there were problems or concerns with the city, but I thought they had been alleviated," Kraft said. "I guess we'll have to go from here and see what happens."
According to Logan Square Kitchen owner Zina Murray, there are limited options for her clients as they search for new homes, and Kitchen Chicago in West Town, the only other shared kitchen in the city, is completely full.
Certain businesses and restaurants throughout the city are licensed to host outside clients in their kitchen but coming up with an agreement that works for both parties can be challenging Kraft said. He has already begun reaching out to some other Logan Square-based establishments like Revolution Brewing with the hopes of finding a suitable new space.
"It's a heartbreaking situation," Murray said. "But I'm doing what I can to help my clients find new places."
Murray said her business was doomed from the beginning as she struggled obtaining the necessary permits and licenses, including certification from the city's Green Building Permit Program. When she took her business proposal to Department of Business Affairs and Consumer Protection, she was told her she had misrepresented her business and had to acquire new permits.
All together, Murray waded through red tape for more than a year and a half, and as a result, many of the funds that would have been devoted to stimulating her business were instead used to pay lawyers.
Mayor Emmanuel's new ordinance to streamline business licenses announced in April came too late to help the Logan Square Kitchen, and Murray said that the Shared Kitchen Ordinance, which went into effect last September did little to improve things for her or her clients.
"I don't consider it a failure. We have done so many good things," Murray said. "We motivated the city to look at these things and change them, but we were one of the first ones through the wall, so we suffered."

THE mother and maternal grandparents of an eight-year-old boy doctors said "looked like a Holocaust survivor" were ordered to stand trial on attempted murder and other charges for allegedly denying the boy food regularly and hiding him from public view.
District Judge Brian Arthur was so shocked by pictures presented in court and by medical reports of the boy's condition after he was removed from the family's Greenville home in Pennsylvania in June, that the judge ordered the three defendants jailed and set bail at $100,000 each.
Police allege the boy was fed only small amounts of food so he turned to eating bugs when he was allowed onto the back porch.
The boy was seven and weighed just 11 kilograms when caseworkers took him to Greenville Medical Center, where a doctor reported: "The young man is so emaciated he looks like a Holocaust survivor." A doctor said he was one month from dying.
The judge's decision drew applause from about 60 courtroom spectators — friends, relatives and some complete strangers to the boy — some of whom gasped when the pictures a Mercer County caseworker took of the boy this summer were flashed on a video screen minutes earlier.
Lawyers for the boy's mother, Mary Rader, 28; his grandmother, Deana Beighley, 48; and his step-grandfather, Dennis Beighley, 59; expressed disappointment that their clients were jailed.
The three family members had been released from custody after they were charged July 17.
Rader and the grandparents contend the boy has a growth hormone problem.
"I think there's no question what happened here was a tragedy, but the question is who's responsible for it and whether it's a criminal offence," Rader's attorney Jack Cline said.
Neil Rothschild, an attorney for the grandmother, told the judge the adults may be guilty of not seeking proper medical attention for a boy who "had trouble keeping his weight on" but nothing more.
"It sounds more to me like a situation that got away from them," Rothschild said.
County Detective John Piatek, one of two witnesses at the hearing, has said he believes the grandmother disliked the boy and influenced the others to mistreat him, but the detective didn't testify about that.
He told the judge that one next door neighbour thought Rader, who has four children, had only three children because the neighbour only saw two girls and a boy playing outside.
District Attorney Robert Kochems said the starved boy — identified in testimony only by his initials A.R. — was purposely kept from public view.
When a neighbour finally did see him on June 6, she called to report "what she said appeared to be a walking skeleton," county welfare worker Kendra Manning testified.
Medical personnel noted that the boy's bones protruded so sharply that his skin broke open in some areas, and a doctor at Children's Hospital of UPMC in Pittsburgh, where he was eventually transferred, concluded he was a month from dying.
Deana Beighley's lawyer noted that the boy told a caseworker he ate three meals a day, was treated kindly, and sometimes forced himself to vomit after meals.
But the prosecutor said the boy ate and gained weight normally once he was hospitalised, and has gained about 20 pounds. Kochems said the boy's statements that he was decently treated can be explained by his perspective as a child.
"He doesn't know that they're trying to kill him," Kochems said. "We do."
All four of Rader's children have been placed in foster care.

A few weeks ago, the digerati at Memphis-based marketing communications agency archer-malmo were deep into work on a website for one of the firm's clients.
The creative energy at archer-malmo is everywhere, especially on the fourth floor, where additions have been made that include a company bicycle and bike parking garage.
(Daily News/Andrew J. Breig)
A person wandering into that scene on the fourth floor of the Cotton Exchange building, at 65 Union Ave., would have seen nine people clustered together in a collaborative work area.
Monitoring two dozen tablets and mobile devices, as well as four monitors running different Web browsers, was a crowd that included a development team, a front-end usability team and graphic designers, among a few other archer-malmo employees.
Nobody, in the words of the firm's director of digital services Ken Rohman, wants to "go to work in a cube farm every day," and here was an example of how archer-malmo is, in fact, not that. No walls between them, just a team of motivated creative professionals huddled together, getting it done.
Within the past week, archer-malmo has announced four hires. It's representative of a steady clip of growth for which the firm has been recognized in some high-profile ways recently – growth that itself is representative of the firm's creativity-focused company culture.
"It's a combination of organic growth with existing clients and winning new clients," said archer-malmo CEO Russ Williams. "At the moment, I'd say it's more organic growth with existing clients. We've got about a dozen key clients that really drive our business. And our relationship with almost every single one of those companies is expanding and has been for the last 12 to 18 months."
The new hires include Lukus Blackford as a search engine optimization and analytics specialist, Cary New as a public relations senior account executive, Casey Lissau as associate creative director and Christina Comas as retail marketing account coordinator.
Gorkem Yamandag, joined by Tombik, works in the new collaborative space at archer-malmo. The new bike garage is visible in the background.
Blackford is supporting archer-malmo's digital team on SEO projects for all agency clients and social media listening and online reputation for Zoetis.
New spent the last 15 years at Viking Range Corp., where she specialized in corporate and B2B media relations. Lissau previously was a senior art director at Sullivan Branding, and Comas will support local marketing activities for all of the Palm Beach Tan corporate markets.
That growth helps illustrate why the agency recently was named to the Inc. 5000 list, a ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. The Agency Post also recently put archer-malmo on its Agency 100, a list of the fastest-growing advertising and marketing agencies in the U.S.
"Having the opportunity for 13 years to run a creative company, I feel like I've learned so much about how to inspire creative people, and I think that transcends creative people," Williams said. "We're known for our culture, we've won a lot of awards for our culture, and what I've learned is – do things that inspire people to come to work and that inspire them to do their best."
To accommodate its expanding headcount and the momentum from its business, archer-malmo took on more space inside the Cotton Exchange building this year. Renovations were done to new space on the eighth floor and existing space on the fourth floor with the idea of employee collaboration in mind.
The spaces, for example, are perfect for digital interactive launches that necessitate employees huddling on final-stage testing and implementation for client websites. There are also features like collective, multipurpose workstations.
Along with that, the agency added an indoor bike locker that can accommodate as many as 12 bikes, and the agency bought a communal bike for employees to use.
"Ken's department lives on the fourth floor of our building – although they're about to outgrow that floor, and we're going to have to get them another one," Williams said. "The fourth floor was renovated to accommodate the collaborative way our digital team works with other departments in the agency and across all their own different functions."
Rohman leads a digital department of more than 30 people that Williams said is paramount to archer-malmo's growth strategy. To give a flavor of the department's capabilities, Rohman said it has a few people who do nothing but social media full time, in addition to the firm having a very large presence in Web development.
"Renovating the fourth floor to look and function the way it ought to for a bunch of hip, young software developers – that's inspiring to those people," Williams said. "They want to be here and do their best job. Sometimes, it's easy to forget that at the end of the day, people just want to be inspired."

5 Things I learned from firearms training
For four years of Writers' Police Academy, I've heard writer-recruits gush about the firearms training simulation, FATS. From their adrenaline-fueled talk about shooting bad guys and trying not to shoot bystanders, I pictured video targets popping up a la Men in Black ("Little Tiffany" scene).
Not quite.
This year, I experienced the simulator first hand. Being a nice little Quaker girl without small arms experience, I wasn't so sure I wanted to shoot a gun. (All you peeps from my first career — stop laughing! Notice I said "small arms.") I'd never shot a pistol before, and hadn't fired a rifle in years.
The instructors briefed us on how to hold our guns, aim, and reload. My Glock 19 was easy to handle; not so easy to aim. (I did have new monovision contacts in and consistently missed to the right. That's my excuse and I'm stickin' to it.)
The scenarios were eye-opening.
I'd always imagined good guys vs. bad guys, a view reinforced by the thrillers we read and watch (and write). Most of the scenes start with a traffic stop or emergency call, and the officer has no idea what he's walking into; ie. whether these folks, these human beings (not black-and-white targets) are good, bad, or somewhere in between. The violence escalates so fast, there's no time to react.
Here are five things I learned:
1. People with empty hands can quickly pick up or pull out a weapon.
2. Weapons can be hard to identify. Did you know there's a cell-phone gun?
3. Upset bystanders can quickly turn into threats.
4. Things happen too fast for really accurate aiming. Even practiced law enforcement shooters lose accuracy because of the adrenaline-filled, split-second timing of an armed encounter.
Anybody who owns a gun needs to practice, practice, practice. Since there's no time to think, only those who've turned their skill into instinct have a chance.
5. I like the Glock 19. I don't want one. I'm so afraid of hurting the wrong person out of fear or bad aim, or that my own gun could be used against me in a surprise attack.
That's the implication in this News 2 story on concealed weapons, cautioning civilians about using their own guns. The video includes a clip from the simulator and features one of WPA's instructors.
I have even more respect for our law enforcement and emergency services folks. If they get a little tense in certain situations, like traffic stops, they have good reason! Thus the intense felony traffic stop in Writers' Police Academy 2013 — part 1.
Training opportunities like FATS not only make us better writers, but also better able to cope with life situations (like in WPA's past self defense classes). Guilford County Sheriff's Office just started a Citizens' Academy, which will include FATS as part of a weeks-long training program.

Review: iLuv Aud 5 Apple Lightning Speaker Dock
Company: iLuv (a unit of jWIN)
Website: www.iluv.com
Model: Aud 5
Price: $130
Compatible: iPhone 5, iPod nano 7G, iPod touch 5G
Price points matter a lot for all consumer electronics, including Apple device-ready speakers, which generally start at sub-$100 prices and climb to the sub-$1000 level. There's room for quality and feature variation within each price bracket, but particularly at lower price levels, developers strain to significantly differentiate their industrial designs and components from what's come before. Right-priced directly between the $100 and $150 levels, iLuv's new Lightning connector iPhone- and iPod-ready Aud 5 ($130) has a familiar look, very respectable speaker performance, and one predictable issue: a lack of case compatibility.
Like many earlier iPod and iPhone speakers, Aud 5's shape is a slightly edgier spin on the neutral-looking Bose SoundDock, here with top corners that curve outwards to form a 12.5" control panel above an 11.25" base. Rounded in back with a combination of glossy and matte black plastics, Aud 5 has only two rear ports—one for an included wall power adapter, the other for 3.5mm audio input—while the black fabric front ends at a plastic Lightning dock deliberately sized to exclude iPads and iPad minis. As with all of the Lightning speakers we've tested so far, Aud 5 is almost entirely incompatible with cases because of conflicting Apple requirements for speaker and case designs, but the connector is mounted on a spring-loaded hinge that flips forward to accommodate various iPod and iPhone thicknesses. If you can put the case incompatibility aside, Aud 5 otherwise has a nice design; nothing about it save for the slightly light weight makes it feel inexpensive.
Aud 5 isn't as minimalist in controls as a SoundDock, as iLuv went beyond including volume controls to add power, play/pause and track controls, oddly separated by the commonality of their button shapes rather than related functionality. Recessed within the center of the smoked translucent panel is a white circle that serves as a power indicator, arguably the only cosmetic disappointment in Aud 5 given that it doesn't match iLuv's packaging or marketing materials. Official imagery suggests that the light is pretty large and bright white, but in reality, it's so dim and small that you'll only notice it if you're looking for it. There are no other frills in the package; you'll find no remote control, wireless functionality, or rechargeable battery here.
If that sounds like a problem—which it might given the recent proliferation of sub-$150 Bluetooth wireless rechargeable speakers—that's not necessarily the case, since iLuv clearly used dollars that would otherwise go towards a wireless chip and battery to improve its speaker hardware. As contrasted with the Lightning- and Bluetooth-ready $130 Sound Step Lightning, which has three speakers inside, iLuv has four front-firing drivers, including both active speakers and passive radiators for bass. While the company regrettably doesn't specify the drivers' sizes, the speakers are actually pretty good, and backed by a quality amplifier that doesn't hiss during quiet or silent moments in the audio. Note that this isn't faint praise: few budget audio systems get this right, but Aud 5 does.
While iLuv's and Soundfreaq's systems are similar in peak volume levels, overall balance, and sonic fidelity, they diverge somewhat in the specifics. Aud 5 delivers somewhat deeper bass, particularly at high volumes, while Sound Step Lightning has a small edge in treble and mid-treble clarity. If you like your music deep, Aud 5 is the better pick of the two by a minor margin, while Sound Step Lightning is a bit better if you prefer more dynamic sound. Aud 5 exhibits some bass distortion at the top 15% of its nearly-small-room-filling volume range, and the system vibrates at peak volumes to the point where you can see it slightly shaking but not moving on a flat surface; neither is surprising for a budget audio system with bassy sound.
Overall, Aud 5 isn't the perfect Lightning speaker dock, but it's well-executed enough for its price to earn our general recommendation. It's one of the best-sounding iLuv speakers we've tested, with a nice though derivative industrial design, and a $130 price point that's appropriate given the overall quality of the package. While its appeal is undercut somewhat by case incompatibility, the less than ideal top surface design, and a tendency to distort bass at high volumes, it's a good alternative to the same-priced Sound Step Lightning if you favor added bass over Bluetooth wireless or remote control functionality. The name is also worthy of some commendation, as it's a lot easier to remember than the confusing alphanumerics iLuv previously used. This is definitely a step in the right direction for the company, and also for affordable Lightning speakers.

Before I start this post - just wanted to add something to my last post - other signs that my husband overlooked - his slut is from the same place (up north) where I spent the first 7 years of my life, which is rare since they met or we lived (down south). Wouldn't you think he would be like "Hey, my wife is from there." But no, that's not a sign of anything...idiot.
Or here's another sign. Her middle name is the same name as his ex-fiance who rescheduled their wedding three times and then broke up with him over the phone. Wouldn't you think, "Wow that gives me a bad feeling ... I don't like that name" Again...what an idiot.
Anyway, now for today's post.
My faith has always been strong but it's never been as strong as it is now. Whenever I go to mass, I always here a message being sent to me from the readings and liturgy. It's as if God is really trying to help me through all of this mess the best way that I need to be helped.
This past Sunday, we heard this story:
Matthew 15:21-28
The Faith of a Canaanite Woman21 Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. 22 A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly." 23 Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, "Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us."
24 He answered, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel."
25 The woman came and knelt before him. "Lord, help me!" she said.
26 He replied, "It is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to the dogs."
27 "Yes it is, Lord," she said. "Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master's table."
28 Then Jesus said to her, "Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted." And her daughter was healed at that moment.
Now, you may wonder how in the world does this have anything to do with my situation. Let's think of the Canaanite woman as my cheating husband. While she hasn't done anything necessarily bad, she is scorned and looked badly upon by others, just like my husband does (notice how Jesus' friends are saying "Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.") just like society would say "Don't stay with a cheater! Ditch that selfish pig!".
Jesus tries to ignore her because she isn't the most desirable person around... he wants to turn away but he just can't and knows that he shouldn't. He knows deep down inside that he isn't that kind of person. So when she begs and begs...and begs (much like my husband who has begged and begged and begged for me to stay and for my forgiveness or at least a second chance) ....he grants her the wish she desires (and so did I for my husband).
How powerful is that? What does this show me? That God knows what I have gone through, he knows my pain and he knows what is inside me. He knows me as well as he knows Jesus. I gave in to my cheating husband as Jesus gave in to the Canaanite - because we knew it was the right thing to do because they had faith and determination. No matter how much we told them to get away from us, no matter how horribly we treated them because we were disgusted with them (Jesus calling the Canaanite woman a dog and me calling my husband ...well, just about everything), they didn't turn away, they accepted the attacks and they continued to come back and beg for our acceptance.
If that's not a strong strong belief in us, I don't know what is... if my husband didn't truly feel as though he needed/wanted me, he wouldn't have fought to keep me the way he did. If he didn't love me, he wouldn't fight to prove to me that he loves me. Does this mean that I don't have ill feelings towards him? No. Does this mean that I am cured? No. It means that I am starting to realize that I have been hurt and God knows I have been and he is by my side helping me see that even though I have been pained, I am doing what I have to do to recover.
He showed me the actions of a great man like Jesus and how my actions reflected his... what more of a message could I have asked for?

He likes it for passing, and has had goal scoring success with it in the past. As particular as he seems to be about equipment, I don't see him looking to change it anytime soon, and I'm not convinced he should.
Besides, of all the different reasons going through his own head about his goal totals (and I don't think he thinks about it that much to begin with), I'm guessing his stick is last on the list, assuming it's even on the list at all.

This is the winning statement. Who cares if Crosby or Malkin are number 1. They both can't be number 1.
Geno: You know Sid, I was thinking maybe just one time you could let me win the scoring title.
Sid (unsure look on his face): Well, if you win how am I go win?
Geno: Yeah I was thinking about that, heh so stupid my bad.
Sid: There's nothing wrong with Silver.
ivand87, I think your acting to much like a puck bunny. I used to only think Crosby was the team too. You will change for the better soon enough.
penny lane wrote:Maybe I'm just ranting maybe but you are allowed.
Seven shots for the captain and 60% face-off wins; Sid just needs to close his eyes and let the puck fly. I don't need to see 5 points from him every game to validate his worth.

Welcome to Waldorf College's Net Price Calculator! You've come to the right place. We're happy you are beginning to explore how to plan and pay for your college education. We will help you every step of the way. Using the net price calculator, you can find out your eligibility for financial aid from schools to which you plan to apply and estimate your out-of-pocket expenses. Rather than shy away from applying to colleges that seem to be out of your price range, results from the net price calculator will show you how affordable those institutions may be.
Even if you're not going to college in the near future, the net price calculator will still be helpful. Younger students and their parents can use this tool to learn about college costs and receive early financial aid information. You can create "what if" scenarios based on expected family income and anticipated expenses, and start to plan and save well before applying to college.
Colleges have different resources and financial aid policies, so your "net price" will vary from institution to institution. Also, special circumstances are considered by financial aid offices on a case-by-case basis. If your situation is unusual, you may want to contact the financial aid office at the colleges to which you are admitted.
When you're ready to begin, you can sign in with your College Board user name and password or use the calculator as a guest. The advantage of signing in is that the information you enter will be saved in your account, so you can use it again and again to calculate your net price at other colleges of interest. Good luck!
How does it work? The calculator measures the financial strength of your family and uses other facts you provide to estimate the amount of grants, scholarships and other financial aid that is likely to be available to you. Your "net price" is the difference between that amount and the cost of attendance.
The calculator is designed to give you an early indication of how much and what types of financial aid you might qualify for if you were a college freshman attending school full-time in the academic year indicated. It is a tool which we hope will give you a clear picture of options and opportunities so you can make more informed decisions about your college choices.
As you use the calculator, please remember:
- This is not an application for admission or financial aid.
- The results will only be as reliable as the data you provide.
- The net price calculator will only give you an estimate of your net price and aid eligibility. The financial aid office has the final word on your financial aid award.
- You must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible after October 1st of the year you plan to attend college.
Completing the calculator should take no more than 20 minutes of your time. You will need to answer some basic questions about your parents' financial situation so it might be helpful to have recent tax forms or pay stubs on hand before you begin.
READY TO MOVE FORWARD? Sign in with your College Board user name and password, sign up for a College Board account, or enter as a guest.

Diabetes is a serious disease that affects millions of people worldwide. That being said, everything you've heard about a diabetic diet is usually a myth. If you are diabetic, you can still enjoy foods. You just need to regularly monitor your blood sugar.
At bistroMD, our food can be enjoyed by everyone, even if you are diabetic. Interestingly, you could classify our menu as diabetic-safe. One of our founders, Caroline J. Cederquist, M.D., is a real doctor and, as such, is aware of the needs of diabetics.
Diabetics require food that can be easily digested and absorbed into the blood. Our menu is nutritionally balanced, and is designed to be safe for individuals suffering from diabetes. A diabetic diet food menu shouldn't be restricted to limited numbers of foods. Instead it should be enjoyable, well balanced, and filled with all the nutrients your body needs; diabetic or not.
Restrictive diets aren't fair, that's why we at bistroMD make it our goal to bring you complimentary ingredients that we know you will enjoy. BistroMD's founder, Dr. Caroline J.

Don't give up on your diet - just ask about our diabetic diet food menu. We have the resources to get you the food you enjoy that will keep you fit and healthy.
There are a few things every diabetic should know when it comes to dieting. First, starches are very important. Include more foods like a bagel or a piece of toast in your breakfast.
Next, make sure you eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. The vitamins, minerals, and sugars found in fruits and vegetables are great if you are diabetic. Don't go for extra dessert. Keep your sugary sweets to a minimum. Eat insoluble fibers. This kind of fiber is extremely healthy for your digestive track.

Our world-class chefs, and medical expertise, can craft a menu that is suitable for anyone with diabetes. One thing to remember is to check your blood sugar levels at regular intervals.

On the NSA and Media Bias: An Extended Analysis
By Albert Wong and Valerie Belair-Gagnon, Information Society Project at Yale Law School
In a recent article in the Columbia Journalism Review, we reported that major US newspapers exhibited a net pro-surveillance bias in their "post-Edward Snowden" coverage of the NSA. Our results ran counter to the general perception that major media outlets lean "traditionally liberal" on social issues. Given our findings, we decided to extend our analysis to see if the same bias was present in "traditionally conservative" and international newspapers.
Using the same methods described in our previous study, we examined total press coverage in the Washington Times, one of the top "traditionally conservative" newspapers in the US. We found that the Washington Times used pro-surveillance terms such as security or counterterrorism 45.5% more frequently than anti-surveillance terms like liberty or rights. This is comparable to USA Today's 36% bias and quantitatively greater than The New York Times' 14.1% or the Washington Post's 11.1%. The Washington Times, a "traditionally conservative" newspaper, had the same, if not stronger, pro-surveillance bias in its coverage as neutral/"traditionally liberal"-leaning newspapers.
In contrast, The Guardian, the major UK newspaper where Glenn Greenwald has reported most of Snowden's disclosures, did not exhibit such a bias. Unlike any of the US newspapers we examined, The Guardian actually used anti-surveillance terms slightly (3.2%) more frequently than pro-surveillance terms. Despite the UK government's pro-surveillance position (similar to and perhaps even more uncompromising than that of the US government), the Guardian's coverage has remained neutral overall. (Neutral as far as keyword frequency analysis goes, anyway; the use of other methods, such as qualitative analysis of article tone, may also be helpful in building a comprehensive picture.)
Our extended results provide additional context for our earlier report and demonstrate that our analysis is "capturing a meaningful divide."
On a further note, as several commenters suggested in response to our original report, the US media's pro-surveillance bias may be a manifestation of a broader "pro-state" bias. This theory may be correct, but it would be difficult to confirm conclusively. On many, even most, issues, the US government does not speak with one voice. Whose position should be taken as the "state" position? The opinion of the President? The Speaker of the House? The Chief Justice? Administration allies in Congress? In the context of the Affordable Care Act, is there no "pro-state" position at all, since the President, the Speaker, and the Chief Justice each have different, largely irreconcilable views?

Should U.S. Export Its Gas Bonanza?

The 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class enters the market as a compact luxury SUV designed to be nimble within city centers, smooth on highway and off-road capable, if required. Both the all-wheel drive 4MATIC platform and later to be released front-wheel drive model are powered by a turbocharged 2L four-cylinder engine claimed to produce 208hp and 258 ft-lb of torque. First to arrive on U.S. shores will be the 4MATIC available Fall of 2014. The standard front-wheel drive GLA250 will arrive in early 2015. Pricing for each is to be announced but Motor Trend estimates base price to be within the $32,000-$34,500 range
"With the compact GLA we add a fifth attractive SUV variant to the Mercedes-Benz model portfolio in this constantly growing segment. The GLA impresses mainly with its progressive character and agile handling," says Dr. Joachim Schmidt, Executive Vice President Sales and Marketing Mercedes-Benz Cars. "So I am very confident that the GLA with its fascinating design and high everyday practicality will fill many new customers with enthusiasm for the Mercedes-Benz brand."
Instead of coming in as another beefy SUV, the design more closely resembles the sedans within the lineup such as the CLA. The low-slung and sleek design is also reminiscent of the Audi Q7 or Volkswagen Touareg – clearly the competition it hopes to steal market share from along with the Range Rover Evoque and BMW X1. Agility and around-town maneuverability is key within the compact SUV market and GLA's dimensions speak to that with a length of 173.9", width of 71" and height of 58.8".
"With its striking features, the GLA embodies our progressive thinking and enthralls with its off-road proportions," says Gorden Wagener, Vice President Design at Daimler AG. "The clearly defined surfaces convey power and serenity, and we have managed to combine as much emotional appeal as possible with as much clarity as necessary."
Aerodynamics was of great design importance for performance and fuel economy as was overall styling cues. Underbody paneling, additional paneling in the middle area of the rear axle and an aerodynamic rear silencer and diffuser improve the airflow underbody.
To the front, powerdomes on the hood, a twin-louver grille, simulated skid pad and diamond-pattern bumper grilles accentuate its smooth muscular appearance. Headlights with available daytime LEDs and tri-functional fiber optics improve nighttime visibility and overall demeanor. The side profile reveals standard 18" wheels (19" wheels available), chrome roof rails and the vehicle's curvature. A sweeping chrome trunk handle, roof spoiler and lower off-road guards define the rear.
The efficient turbo 2L DOHC 16-valve I-4 engine is claimed to reach 0-60mph in 6.4sec and a top speed of 145mph. A 7-speed dual clutch automatic transmission improves smooth shifting acceleration. The 4MATIC model includes the new generation permanent all-wheel drive system with fully variable torque distribution, which will come in handy off-road or on slick asphalt. Electronic assists such as Downhill Speed Regulation (DSR), an off-road transmission mode, which changes gearshift points and accelerator characteristics, the interior head unit's off-road display function, which shows roll angle, elevation gradient and more is also available for the 4MATIC.
Improving road comfort is a McPherson front axle and independent multilink rear suspension. Three control arms and one trailing arm per wheel help manage bumps by offering independent longitude and lateral dynamics. Electromagnetic power steering then translates driver movements to the road with the assistance of an ESP control unit. Steering assistance functions include: countersteering when oversteering occurs, steering corrections when braking on surfaces with various grip levels, reduction of front-wheel drive forces, and compensation for heavy cross-winds and road camber. A rigid body structure then further improves handling and increases safety.
Safety is a focal point of the GLA. Numerous electronic assists work to keep driver and occupants safe. Standard features include Attention Assist that detects driver drowsiness and radar-based Collision Prevention Assist Plus with Brake Assist, which helps minimize impacts with other vehicles. The Driver Assistance Package includes a function that allows the vehicle to autonomously brake at speeds up to 124mph and also brake in response to stationary vehicles at a speed up to 18mph. Also available is Blind Spot and Lane Keeping Assist and Park Assist.
Creature comforts within the interior are what you'd expect from Mercedes-Benz. All trim surfaces are galvanized in silver-shadow resulting in what Mercedes' calls a "cool-touch" effect. Five round air vents mark a dash that features matte and glossy graining. Aluminum or wood trim is also available. A large display offers all of the standard features along with the brands mbrace2 connectivity service. 12 function keys can be found on the 3-spoke steering wheel. Standard MB-Tex or optional leather upholsters the seats. Numerous color combinations and sport seats are available as options. Seat adjustment controls are found on the door panel. Noise-reducing material and design keep the interior quiet from outside noise.
The 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class compact SUV enters as an affordable all-purpose vehicle that does not forgo luxuries associated with the brand. Agile and responsive, it hopes to further solidify Mercedes in the luxury SUV market. The GLA will officially be unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show in Germany next month.

Whether you were injured, are accused of a crime, or are merely engaging in everyday affairs that affect your legal rights or property, an attorney can help you resolve problems or prevent new ones from arising.
Here are just a few situations where you might want to seek the advice of an attorney:
- You were injured in a car or truck accident
- You have been arrested and charged with a crime, such as DUI or shoplifting
- You are considering separating from your spouse
- You have been subjected to harassment or other discrimination at work
Use Justia to research and compare Simpsonville attorneys so that you can make an informed decision when you hire your counsel.
It is important to research an attorney before hiring him or her. Be sure to evaluate an attorney's experience (types of cases handled, prior results obtained, etc.). Although prior results are not indicative of the likelihood of success in your case, they can help you make an informed decision.
Also worth serious consideration is the attorney's location, particularly if you will be traveling to visit him or her for consultations.
Finally, research an attorney to see whether he or she has ever been subject to discipline. Although disciplinary actions do not necessarily impact the attorney's competence to handle your case, they may affect your decision whether to hire.

"A few clicks away" doesn't just refer to two websites. It is a way of saying it is easy to find the information.
Please go to the police station to settle the matter. It is just a few clicks away. Question: Is this statement syntactically and semantically acceptable?
And we don't have any slang terms for "kilometer" in AmE. Maybe on Star Trek, but not in real life.
this website, "klicks" was being used by US soldiers in Vietnam and probably earlier, to mean "kilometers".
Remember - if you don't use correct capitalisation, punctuation and spacing, anything you write will be incorrect.

Take One and Divide it By 998001
Take One and Divide it By 998001
For Surprising
by Max Eddy | 3:34 pm, January 23rd, 2012
Unfortunately, a lot of calculators are going to truncate the results. However, if you manage to get a hold of one that doesn't, solving 1/998001 will generate all the three digit numbers from 000 to 999. And in order, no less. I have no idea how this works, but it's a pretty neat trick and even a bit unsettling. If you're a fan of this kind of spooky math fun, solving 1/9801 will generate all the consecutive two digit numbers.

I'm back again finally after learning more about glsl 3.3/opengl 3.3 and I've been trying to get my multi texturing to work with little success so far.
This just draws a quad with a single texture, I loaded 2 textures and if I change the fragSampler uniform I can change textures but I want to make this change per vertex...
edit: in my frag shader fragSampler is just a uniform sampler2D.Code :glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, VBO); glBindBuffer(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, IBO); glEnableVertexAttribArray(0); glVertexAttribPointer(0, 3, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 6*sizeof(float), (void*)0); glEnableVertexAttribArray(1); glVertexAttribPointer(1, 2, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 6*sizeof(float), (void*)(3*sizeof(float))); glEnableVertexAttribArray(2); glVertexAttribPointer(2, 1, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 6*sizeof(float), (void*)(5*sizeof(float))); glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE0 + 1); glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, grass.getTexture()); glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE0 + 2); glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, rock.getTexture()); glUniform1i(fragSamplerLoc, 2); glDrawElements(GL_QUADS, (sizeof(index) / sizeof(unsigned int)), GL_UNSIGNED_INT, (void*)0); glDisableVertexAttribArray(0); glDisableVertexAttribArray(1); glDisableVertexAttribArray(2); glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, 0); glBindBuffer(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, 0);
I figured I could just add the texture unit at the end of each of my vertices data... like this..
first 3 are vertex, next 2 are texture cords and finally the texture unit.
If I just use...Code :float data[] = { -0.2, -0.2, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1, 0.2, -0.2, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 2, 0.2, 0.2, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0, 2, -0.2, 0.2, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 2 };
and pass the unit to the frag shader per vertex I thought it would work but it was drawing random colors instead of the textures. I also tried making the int textUnit into a sampler2D textUnit since that's how my current code works it just sets the samplers to the current texture unit... no luck with this either. I also tried..Code :layout (location = 2) int textUnit;
Code :layout (location = 2) int textUnit; in vec2 textCoord; sampler2D textSampler out outpurColor; void main() { outputColor = texture(textSampler + textUnit, textCoord); }
This didn't work at all. I'm sure I'm missing something simple here but it's been bugging me for 2 days so here I am again.
PS: If you notice some small syntax error like a misspelled variable it's cause I wrote this code out as I've been testing stuff all day and don't have most of the old stuff in my program anymore. It's likely not the cause of my issues.

Stock up on espresso and Red Bull. The autumn of dreams can be a sleepless season.
The Red Sox and Indians will play a seventh game at Fenway Park tonight to crown the 2007 American League champion. It'll be $103 million man Daisuke Matsuzaka vs. Cleveland's Jake Westbrook. First pitch, 8:23 p.m.
The Sox moved a step closer to a second World Series in four years with a shockingly easy 12-2 victory over the Indians last night at Fenway. On the third anniversary of Boston's Baseball Bastille Day - the day they completed the historic come-from-behind-sweep against the Yankees, the Sox rode the broad shoulders of Curt Schilling and the grand slam bat of much-maligned J.D. Drew to move a step closer to another improbable comeback.
Three days ago the Sox were on the brink of elimination, down, 3-1, to the muscle-flexing Tribe. But Boston pummeled Cleveland's 19-game winners, C.C. Sabathia and Fausto Carmona, in back-to-back blowouts and the locals are nine innings away from making more history and earning a ticket to the 103d World Series, which starts Wednesday against the Colorado Rockies.
Three years ago it was Schilling oozing blood into his sock against the Yankees. This time it's the Indians who are bleeding.
"It just has to stop and it has to stop tonight," said Cleveland manager Eric Wedge. "They need to go to bed tonight with a clear head and think good thoughts. They have experienced a lot. It's another step for us, but it's not completely unchartered. We handle these things pretty well."
"We're excited," said Sox manager Terry Francona. "We'd be crazy not to be excited to have a Game 7 at Fenway. We get to play. I'm glad we're playing at home. As far as the game goes, the momentum will be with both starting pitchers. What happened tonight won't dictate tomorrow."
Last night's game was over before the end of the third. On the heels of their season-saving 7-1 win in Cleveland Thursday, the Sox blasted to a 10-1 lead before making a second out in the third inning. It was then that the aptly named Aaron Laffey was summoned for mopup duty in a game that could have sent the Indians to the World Series for only the third time since 1948.
The emergence of Drew as Mr. October was sprinkled with irony. The passive right fielder has been a target of Sox fans since he came aboard for $70 million last winter and did little during the season to change opinions that he is overrated and overpaid. It was a mind-numbing moment for most of the Nation to see Drew crush a 3-1 pitch in the first inning and round the bases with the third grand slam in Sox postseason history.
"It was a great feeling," said Drew. "It has been a tough year. I just wanted to go into the playoffs and have good at-bats."
"J.D. certainly played a big part in this," said Francona. "One pitch and we got four on the board. That was huge."
Two innings after the slam, Drew's single off the pathetic Carmona ignited a six-run inning and triggered a parade of Cleveland pitchers and errors. It was 10-1 when Kevin Youkilis got his third hit in three innings and there was little doubt that Schilling (10-2, 2.25 career postseason ERA) would be able to hold the lead.
"The game plan was perfect and I'm glad it worked out," said Schilling (two earned runs, six hits, seven innings). "It's nice. We're playing a Game 7. It was a very gratifying night."
Sox choreographer Dr. Charles Steinberg treated the sellout to most of the "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" album before Game 6 and there was a lot of Schilling video on the big board while "A Day In The Life" played over the sound system. After the famous final chord, old friend Bill Mueller came out for the ceremonial first pitch. It was one more reminder of the magic ride of 2004, something the Sox still seek to replicate. No doubt the good doctor is trying to get Paul and Ringo for tonight.
It was pretty clear the baseball gods were on Boston's side when Grady Sizemore led off the game with a towering shot to right that might have been a homer but was ruled a foul ball. Replays were inconclusive and the Tribe went down in order.
The game was over when Drew connected in the first. Dustin Pedroia and Youkilis got things going with back-to-back infield singles, then David Ortiz walked to load the bases. After Manny Ramírez fanned and Mike Lowell flied to shallow right, Drew cleared the bases with a shot into the camera box in left-center. General manager Theo Epstein and senior baseball operations adviser Bill James had to be smiling while their $14 million per year white elephant went into his home run trot. It was arguably Drew's first memorable hit of the season, and certainly the highlight of his professional career.
The Sox blew it open and drove Carmona from the hill in the third. The overwhelmed righty walked Ramírez and Lowell to start the inning, then hit the showers after Drew's RBI single. Jacoby Ellsbury, starting in place of Coco Crisp, singled off Rafael Perez to make it 6-1, then Julio Lugo doubled to left and it was 8-1.
"We were trying to control damage, but obviously it didn't work out tonight," said Wedge.
The Indians were embarrassed after that. Youkilis drove a ball off the Wall and escaped being out when he headed the baseball, soccer-style, while caught in a pickle. There were a couple of Cleveland errors and two more runs before the end of the third.
The drama was gone, especially with Schilling dealing from his office. The big righty threw 90 pitches, 60 for strikes, and turned the ball over to Javier Lopez in the eighth and Eric Gagné in the ninth.
As easy at it was, and as bad as the Indians looked in Games 5 and 6 (outscored, 19-3), it's a mistake for Sox fans to assume the Series is over. Westbrook beat the Red Sox, 4-2, in Game 3. Matsuzaka, meanwhile, failed to get out of the fifth inning in either of his postseason starts and the rookie righty was visibly distraught after his failure in Cleveland.
With the pennant on the line tonight, Francona will have his starter on a short leash. That means Jon Lester will be ready. Tim Wakefield will be ready. And Josh Beckett, winner of Games 1 and 5, the most dominant player in the postseason thus far, will have his spikes on in the Sox bullpen.
Beckett threw 109 pitches Thursday night, but this is no time to worry about that. There'll be no rest for anyone around here until the 2007 baseball season is over.
