When Laila Ali strode down the center of the ballroom to the podium today as Club Industry's keynote speaker, the first thing I noticed was that she's not that big of a person, even though she proclaims to be a "big chick."
Laila Ali, of course, is the daughter of perhaps the biggest person in the world (figuratively speaking). In his prime, it was said that Muhammad Ali was the most famous person on the planet, and that probably holds true today. As we learned from his daughter, The Greatest of All Time will still remind you of how famous he is.
Laila Ali has made a name for herself, too, and like her dad, her fame initially came from the sport of boxing. At 15, Laila Ali was diagnosed with Graves ' disease, a thyroid condition that required radiation treatment. By 18, she had gained weight, so she decided to go to a boxing gym. It was for that reason--not because of her dad--that she gave boxing a try.
Today, Ali is the women's super middleweight boxing champion of the world with a 24-0 record, 21 by knockout. Although she has not retired from boxing, she did say she is not currently boxing because "there are no challenges in the sport."
Laila Ali used to be known as just a boxer or the daughter of a famous boxer. Now, a whole new group of fans know her from her time as a contestant on "Dancing with the Stars." She didn't want to participate in the TV program at first, but she eventually said yes and went on to become a finalist. She told us her partner wasn't all that nice and that the outfits she wore on the show were designed specifically for her.
Keeping off weight has always been a struggle for Ali, whether it's for boxing or for "Dancing with the Stars." She admittedly loves to eat, and even came to the podium with a Starbucks in her hand. For one of her fights, she had to drop eight pounds and wound up spitting just to lose extra ounces to make weight.
Ali made a great impression with the standing-room-only crowd by saying that you have to be comfortable in who you are. She's working on a kids program for Nickelodeon that focuses on getting obese children in shape. The show is being filmed in Decatur, IL, which Ali mentioned was "The Obese Capital of the World." A couple of people in the crowd said they were from Decatur, but they didn't seem to take too much offense with her comment.
Industry veteran Norm Cates stood up and had a request rather than a question, which made the crowd laugh heartily about what they thought his request was. But Norm got everybody on the same page when he told Ali, "Will you please tell your dad that we love him?"
"Yes," Laila replied, "I love him, too."
Muhammad Ali is now living in Arizona, close to where his daughter lives in California with her husband, former Chicago Bear Curtis Conway (who was dressed to the nines as he quietly stood near Laila Ali at the front of the room as she spoke to and took pictures with attendees after her speech). Laila said her dad still travels a lot despite his ongoing battle with Parkinson's disease and that he "looooves people." With her recent fame from "Dancing with the Stars," people come up to him and ask about her. That's usually not how it works with the most famous man on the planet.
In addition to the kids show, Laila Ali has a workout video with another boxing legend, Sugar Ray Leonard. She said it was a little hard to keep pumping herself up on camera so that she could get other people pumped up, too. Someone from the crowd asked if she wanted to do a talk show. She said it would be too much work, and she doesn't want to be on TV just to be on TV.
She is doing some promotional spots for Vaseline, and here, you can see more of the tattoo on her right shoulder that she displayed at the show once she took off her jacket. Judging by her arm(s), if she wanted to get back in the ring anytime soon, she'd handle herself just fine.

September 11th will go down in history as one of saddest days of our time. Terrorist and the malicious acts that they committed, took the lives of innocent people and changed the lives of all U.S. citizens. Regardless if you lost a loved one or not, everyone felt like their security and well-being was jeopardized. […]
Family is an important aspect in everyone's life. Bonding as a family is very important and can help members feel secure and loved. Many families take vacations, have movie nights or partake in hobbies together in order to bond and strengthen relationships. Another popular activity that families enjoy is Family Game Night. Hasbro, a popular toy company, has re-invented game night and re-released several of their popular games, in hopes of bringing families together.
In honor of families and strong bonds here are some of the most popular games that families enjoy to play together:
- Pictionary: Not an artist? No worries. This game is actually more fun if you can't draw. Get ready for loads of laughter when your team can't decipher if what you're drawing is a banana or an airplane! You can create your own game set with a white board and some fun words to draw written on small pieces of paper, or you can buy the actual Pictionary game.
- Charades: You can never go wrong with a classic game like charades. Simply split into teams and then have one person from each team act out a movie, book, or TV show to see who can guess the answer. This is a great game for introverts who want to be less shy.
- Telephone: You can never go wrong with a classic game like charades. Simply split into teams and then have one person from each team act out a movie, book, or TV show to see who can guess the answer. This is a great game for introverts who want to be less shy.
- Puzzles: An alternative to playing a game is to do a puzzle. This will give you a good opportunity to talk and catch up with family and friends instead of only discussing what is going on in the game. Puzzles come in a wide range of prices, but you can find some pretty good ones at your local dollar store.
- Twister: Twister is a game of physical skill produced by Hasbro Games. It is played on a large plastic mat that is spread on the floor or ground. The mat has four rows of large colored circles on it with a different color in each row: red, yellow, blue and green. A spinner is attached to a square board and is used to determine where the player has to put their hand or foot. The spinner is divided into four labeled sections: right foot, left foot, right hand and left hand. Each of those four sections is divided into the four colors. No one can share the same spot on the mat.
- Candyland: Candy Land is a fun board game for younger children. 2 – 4 players are allowed. Due to the design of the game, there is no strategy involved – players are never required to make choices, just follow directions. A "winner" is predetermined only by the shuffle of the cards.
- Sorry: Sorry! is a board game that is based on the ancient Cross and Circle game Pachisi. Players try to travel around the board with their pieces faster than any other player. Sorry! is marketed for two to four players, ages six through adult. The objective is to be the first player to get all four of his or her colour pawns from his or her Start location to his or her Home space.
- Jenga: Jenga is played with 54 wooden blocks. During the game, players take turns to remove a block from a tower and balance it on top, creating a taller and increasingly unstable structure as the game progresses.
- Uno: Uno is a popular card game that consists of 108 cards, of which you will have 19 of each color. Each card represents a number and players must use a wild card/pass card or use the corresponding number card that they have. The game is good for ages 7 and up.
- Scattegories: Scattergories is a creative-thinking category-based party game produced by Hasbro through the Milton Bradley Company and published in 1988. The objective of the 2-to-6-player game is to score points by uniquely naming objects within a set of categories, given an initial letter, within a time limit.
- Monopoly: Monopoly is an American board game published by Parker Brothers. The game is named after the economic concept of monopoly, the domination of a market by a single entity. The Monopoly game board consists of forty spaces containing twenty-eight properties (twenty-two colored streets, four railway stations and two utilities), three Chance spaces, three Community Chest spaces, a Luxury Tax space, an Income Tax space, and the four corner squares: GO, (In) Jail/Just Visiting, Free Parking, and Go to Jail.Over the years, several versions of Monopoly have been released. Monopoly is a fun game that is good for ages 8 and up; unless you purchase a version that is for smaller children. The game can last anywhere from 1 – 4 hours

Is it permissible for one to recite any of them he wishes? Like, I usually read Tayyiba from Hafs..
Assalaamu Alaikum Ustaadh-al-kareem,
I was reading your site, talking about the tajweed rules of Warsh..it was very interesting and fascinating to me..... I just memorized the Quraan a year ago (with Hafs). I found out that, every Qari (e.g. 'Aasim,) has 2 students (Raawis), for example, Hafs and Shu'bah (or for Ibn Katheer, Qunbul and Bazzi).
But recently, I also found out that every student (raawi), also has 2 Tareeqs (2 ways)!! So even Hafs that we all read from, has two ways. The reason this triggered me and came to my attention was that when I recite Quraan, I notice that some madds (certain ones), like if the hamza is part of the next word rather than in the word itself . So madds in which the hamza was not part of the word, many Qurraa shorten them while others prolong them.
I was told these were two ways (from Hafs). So they were...Shaatibyy (the more common one I believe), and also Tayyiba.
So, I wanted to ask you (may Allah reward you), that about these 2 ways from one student , is it permissible for one to recite any of them he wishes? Like, I usually read Tayyiba from Hafs, so, are we allowed to read from either, (without having to get special certificates..).
Like if I have a warsh mus-haf (from naafi'), then..(even though on the mushaf all the madds and so on are there, am I allowed to shorten them (because i heard one of the tareeqs from Warsh was different. Most Qurraa of Warsh prolong so many madds (like and and so on..) but some Qaris from Warsh do not! Or like prolonging a dhammah on the plural meem in and so on... some qurraa do not *though they are reading Warsh.
So my question is, can I read in that way (of course provided that I am aware and know all the rules concerning it...), am I allowed to read like that (in Salaat).
Also, (i wanted to know), if you could please tell me the names of the 2 ways (tareeqs) from Warsh.
May Allah reward you, and give you the best rewards for your work, in this world and the aakhirah! AbdulBasit K., 14
Wa alaikum assalaam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
First of all we want to congratulate you on the completion of the memorization of the Qur'an. May Allah make it firm in your hear and may your actions reflect the meaning of the Qur'an so your manners are of the Qur'an. Ameen. We are especially pleased to read your questions and know from your signature that you are apparently 14 years old! May Allah increase you in knowledge and may your live one lived for the sake of Allah. We also apologize for the delay in answering your question.
Each Qaari' of the ten qira'aat (or seven) have two narrators (raawee). Of course these Qaa'ri had more than just two narrators that passed down the way that the Qaari' was an expert in, and thus named after them; but the two strongest and most mastered narrators were chosen by the scholars when they were documenting the different qira'aat.
Imam Ibn Al-Jazaree, in his work An-Nashr fi-l-qira'aat al-'ashr laid out the sub-ways that were also narrated in authentic chains for the two Rawee of each of the qira'aat. These "sub-ways" are called tareeq in the singular form and turuq in the plural form. There are two or four narrators of these ways, but the ways for each of the tareeq under each of these two or four raawee can be quite numerous. For example, Hafs 'an 'Aasim has four narrators and 52 tareeq in tareeq At-Tayyibah. So when one refers to tareeq at-Tayyibah, one has to be more specific, since there are numerous ways and each way has it own rules and specifics. One cannot just decide to read (a medd letter at the end of a word and hamzah as the first letter of the next following word) with two vowel counts without knowing and applying all the rules that go with this. We have laid out the rules for one of these tareeq previously and you can find it here: http://www.abouttajweed.com/The%20Reading%20of%20Hafs%20with%20qasr%20munfasil%20wassit%20muttasil.pdf
Tareeq ash-Shatibiyyah for Hafs is one of the 52 tareeq that are outlined in Tareeq At-Tayyibah. It happens to be the most prevalently read way in the world in this day.
If you are totally aware of all the rules of one of the turuq of At-Tayyibah and apply all of them, plus are aware of how to read words that are read differently, no matter which qira'ah you are reading, then you can read it in Salah because these all have authentic chains and are part of the revelation. A warning though, you must have practiced reading Warsh or any qira'ah that you want to read with a trained, mastered teacher of that way before you read on your own. There are rules that cannot be picked up from the mushaf and must be studied and practiced and approved before you read on your own. The Qur'an is a book passed down orally, and it cannot be learned without reading to and being corrected by a mastered teacher. Even in Tareeq Ash-Shaatibiyyah, the reading of Warsh has different allowed lengths for . It is allowed to lengthen it two (like the rest of the qira'aat read it), four or six vowel counts, but there are rules attached to each lengthening, so you need to study the rules first. The rules for Warsh min tareeq ash-Shatibiyyah can be found here: http://www.abouttajweed.com/lessons_on_warsh_recitation.htm
It is much better for you to study and perfect one way of recitation before going on to learn the different turuq. If you have not already learned and read Warsh min tareeq Ash-Shaatibiyyah to a qualified sheikh, then you should to that first before going on to learn the different turuq. It is not allowed to mix a tareeq with another in rules and words, so we greatly encourage mastering each way before going on to another.
The two tareeq for Warsh are Tareeq Al-Azraq and Tareeq Al-Asbahaanee (with a saad).
May Allah grant you all khair and make you a master of the Qur'an in the different qira'aat.
Wa assalaam alaikum

It Can Be Too Late to Lose Weight, Mouse Study Suggests
While losing weight helped younger mice reverse heart damage, it didn't do much for older mice that lost a similar amount of weight, says a new study.
MONDAY, March 4, 2013 — Losing weight may not universally reverse heart damage caused by obesity, suggests new research in mice. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine found that younger mice experienced greater improvement in heart function after losing weight than older mice that lost a similar amount of weight, which may mean the protective effect of weight loss on the heart is stronger for those who slim down sooner rather than later.
Although the findings are in mice, they offer clues as to what scientists should look for when exploring the effects of obesity and weight loss on heart function, says senior study author Lili Barouch, MD, a cardiologist and assistant professor of medicine at Johns Hopkins.
"I'm certainly not saying if you're older and overweight, don't bother, but the key finding was that in younger animals, there was more benefit," Dr. Barouch says. "The longer you wait, it gets harder to see the benefits."
For the study, published in the Journal of Cardiovascular Translational Research, Barouch and colleagues put two groups of mice — an older group and a younger group — on the same calorie-restricted diet. The younger mice were 2 months old, comparable to young adulthood in humans; and the older mice ranged from 6 to 7 months old, comparable to middle age.
Because they tested only two mouse age groups, the researchers didn't determine where in the mouse lifespan weight loss becomes less beneficial. Therefore they can't tell how the research might apply to people.
How Weight and Weight Loss Change the Heart
Earlier studies have shown that obesity can stiffen heart muscle — preventing the heart from properly "relaxing," which it must do in order to allow blood back into the heart after it squeezes it out to the rest of the body, Barouch explains. Heart muscle can stiffen in people with high blood pressure, abnormal sickness of the heart muscle, and/or obesity. If you're overweight and have this problem, it can lead to congestive heart failure.
"I've been interested in studying obesity and heart disease for quite a long time," says Barouch, "and I wanted to study how obesity affects heart function besides [being linked to] coronary disease. How it affects the heart in general, and what people can do to help reduce those problems, is the next step."
Normal diastolic function — the part of the heart cycle where the heart muscle is actively relaxing to allow it to fill with blood — was restored in the younger mice in the study, and fat deposits in the heart muscle cells (called myocardial steatosis) diminished. In the older mice, levels of oxidative stress (free radical damage, or cell damage) got better, but stiffness and fat deposits didn't go away.
Reversing Heart Damage from Obesity
Many other aspects of obesity observed in mouse studies also apply to people, says Barouch, so it makes sense that these findings would, too. "People should try to achieve ideal body weight and shouldn't wait until later," she believes. "Don't wait until you develop problems."
You might not notice or feel heart muscle stiffness or abnormal relaxation of the heart until it gets bad, Barouch adds: "They feel fine until it gets bad enough that they have congestive heart failure and it may not be reversible anymore."
That's what happened to one of Barouch's current patients, William Wildberger, 52, of Curtis Bay, Md. Wildberger didn't know Barouch back in October when he was diagnosed with congestive heart failure. Then 370 pounds, he surrounded himself with a good team of doctors, including cardiologist Barouch and his family doctor, and started making an effort to lose weight. He started with a 36-visit cardiac rehabilitation program and now goes to the gym six days week, sometimes twice a day. With the 60 pounds he's lost so far, Wildberger is close to reversing his diabetes and returning his heart to normal rhythm, and he is no longer in heart failure.
"Why we wait so long until something like this happens to just start eating right to make us healthy, I just don't know," says Wildberger, but with every extra hole he adds to his belt, he's glad he did.
That's the takeaway of the study, says Barouch: "Take care of these risk factors before they develop into major issues."

Toyota has officially revealed its new standalone hybrid hatchback model that will be called the Aqua in Japan and be known as the Prius C in the rest of the world.
The Prius C is set to be the fourth entry into Toyota's expanding range of Prius-badged hybrid models. There's the regular Prius, the new plug-in Prius PHEV and the Prius V minivan. The new Prius C five-door hatchback will occupy a position as the base model of the Prius family.
The Prius C is only slightly bigger than the Toyota Yaris but packs a hybrid drivetrain, consisting of a "high-output" electric motor with a 1.5-litre gasoline engine. The 1.5-liter petrol unit produces 55kW at 4,800 rpm and 111Nm of torque, with the electric motor adding in up to 45kW and 169Nm.
Toyota said that it expects the Prius C to return a fuel economy of around 4.7lt/100km when used in the city.
Standard features will include Bluetooth hands-free phone connectivity, steering-wheel audio controls, and nine airbags while the firm's new Entune multimedia system will also be available.
The Prius C is scheduled to debut at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show later this month and go on sale in Japan in late December. Expect it to reach global markets next year.

A unit square is inscribed in a circle which is inscribed in an equilateral triangle. What is the area of the triangle?
We can solve the problem using geogebra and some experimental math. Of course it can be solved analytically but let us just use these tools.
1) Create point A at (1,2)
2) Create point B at (8,2)
3) Use the regular polygon tool and click on A and then B and enter 3 in the upcoming input box. There is an equilateral triangle.
4) Use the midpoint tool and click A and B. Then click B and C. And then click C and A.
You will now have points D,E and F as midpoints of the sides.
5) Use the circle through 3 points tool and click F,E and D.
You will now have an inscribed circle in the triangle.
6) Draw line segment CD.
7) Use the intersect two objects tool and click on the circle and line segment CD.
Point G and H will be created. Make G invisible.
8) Get the midpoint or center of DH and point I will be created. This is the center of the circle.
9) Draw a line through I and parallel to AB.
10) Use the intersection tool and click the circle and this parallel line to create points J and K.
11) Use the regular polygon tool and click on points D and K and leave the 4 and press enter. You now have an inscribed square.
Make the points that are not necessary like L, M, E, F and I invisible. Do the same with the parallel line. Now we just have to get that square to have an area of 1 and we will have our answer.
Create a slider, call it P and give it a min of 2 and a max of 8.
12) Go into the algebra window and set B to look like this:
B = (P,2) and press enter.
13) Now using the slider move P until you get poly2 to be as close to 1 as you can without going under. You should get to 1.04.
14) Adjust the slider increment to .01 and repeat 13. Use the left and right arrow keys for finer motion. Make sure you have rounding set to 15 digits.
15)This time you will get to 1.00041666. Set increment to .001 and repeat.
Use smaller and smaller increments until you get poly2 to be as close to 1 as you can. I got 1.000 000 000 013 734. That is pretty close.
Read what poly1 is. I got 2.598076211389001
We have an empirical answer. We can go with that or we can try using modern techniques to get a little more. We take that number over to:
We enter it into the input box and run "Simple Lookup and Browser for any number." We find our number neatly sandwiched between two constants that are quite close. We take a guess and choose the one above it.
We say experimentally the area of the triangle is:
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.
Cool stuff! I hadn't seen that before. From here, you can find the ratio of the area of the ccsbumririced circle to the area of the triangle.The triangle has area .5*AB*Sin(c)The circle has area Pi*D^2/4, with D = C/Sin(c) = B/Sin(b) = A/Sin(a). D^2 = AB/[Sin(a)Sin(b)]. Taking all this and plugging it in together we get:A_circ/A_tri = Pi*AB*2/[4*Sin(a)*Sin(b)*AB*Sin(c)]= Pi/[2*Sin(a)*Sin(b)*Sin(c)]
Hi Vindaka;
Welcome to the forum.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

A windy weekend
With the team in Chicago for the four-game set, wanted to make sure those of you looking to watch it on TV aren't lost. There's been a slight change with the channel on Time Warner Cable, so if you used to watch it on Channel 413, please note that this week, it'll be on Channel 463 and then starting June 6, it'll be on Channel 464. Sorry for an inconvenience. If you didn't watch in HD, you're not affected at all.
As for the game out there, here's the lineup:
Pierre, LF
Furcal, SS
Hudson, 2B
Loney, 1B
Blake, 3B
Ethier, RF
Martin, C
Kemp, CF
Wolf, P
And here's Joe Torre's pregame chat:
The change in the lineup is really due to the fact that Casey is in the middle. We stacked left/righty from there.
We'll have to pay attention to Furcal. I'll probably give him tomorrow off and then he'll play Saturday and Sunday.
Kuroda felt good and he threw well. His movement just wasn't what he wanted. We'll make a decision next after he throws his bullpen tomorrow. He didn't have an arm issue so I'm not sure he needs another start down there.
Xaxier Paul left the hospital yesterday.
My guess is Brox won't be available tonight. We'd use Troncoso.
Kuo had a sim game that wasn't good. He was wild. But he had a bullpen that was better.
No Comments
Thanks for the line-up, Josh. LET'S GO DODGERS AND BEAT THE CUBBIES!!!!!
I'm so glad Xavier was released from the hospital. And, can't wait for Kuroda to come back.
It's good to see X.Paul out to the hospital……….wonderful news!!!!!
I like the lineup. It's easy to mix this group up for the most part, and hopefully we can see some power out of our power guys tonight. It's good to see Raffy in the lineup tonight.
Happy Anniversary Nelly!
I'm doing good, just breaking in the new laptop I got, and gearing up for another day of work (@ 5, which means I'll miss the goings on in Chi Town). I read that transcript before and nearly puked on the keyboard laughing. Forgot where it came from, though, thanks for finding it, Tru!
I don't know about the tour. Not because of money or anything, just time off. Finally getting decent hours at work, and need to take a weekend off in Early July for a family reunion, so I don't wnat to mess things up. Though I am sad that there's no Dodgers homestand remotely near when I can make it to SoCal. Blech.
To those who are going, though, enjoy it! It's a once-in-a-lifetime sort of experience for sure (unless you work for the Dodgers or are using 20's to light your cigars rolled in 100's. . . oh wait, that last one is for seats in the "Legends Suite" in the Bronx). It's nice to have an organization that takes care of the fans like this. $10 for a tour? can you still get a seat in the Pavillion for $10?
Alright, better start getting ready for work. KEEP THE CUBBIES LOVEABLE… KNOCK 'EM INTO THE NEXT CENTURY OF FUTILITY!!!
NSB ~ Best wishes on new job. Great posts on the last thread. I wish you could join us on the tour.
Glad you are back NellyJune! I'm glad you were able to get away where is was nice and cool. I've been sitting here sweating my a** off for the past two days!
Thanks northstateblues………………… and even though we understand why you can't be at the tour, it won't be the same without you. I still think us Nor-Cal (and any others who can come up here) Dodger fans should get together at a Dodger/Gnat game at AT&T Park sometime.
Hi Everybody
I'll also be watching a different channel tonight, In the other room, MLB Network, I'll at least be getting the game in real time and take a break from the screwy MLB.TV.
I need a new small TV in the computer room as the old one has lost it's picture. What can you expect from a 29 year old set.
We have to keep winning with no let up as the Padres won't give us a break
Hey everyone…. LETS GO DODGERS, LETS GO!!!!
Good Evening Dodger4life!!!!! How are you doing this fine Dodger Blue day???
Happy anniversary Nells!!!
For those of you going on the tour… if you get to meet Ned, kick him in the groin for me for signing Mota and Ohman. Then when you've got his attention, tell him nice job on the everyday line-up.
IMO, Mota and Ohman are two of the main reasons we have to have a 13 man staff.
Hello Nelly
Happy Anniversary to you and Bill…:)
Nice job JP and Raffy!!!!
Enchanted ~ we need you to come on the tour! You do the kicking and we will all stand behind you!!!!
NELLY – Your daughter is a Dodger. She just doesn't want to hurt your husband's feelings…GOOOO DODGERS!
NSTATE…WOW! I read what you said in the previous thread. The problem with men (and women) is that they keep pushing themselves to do better and break records, some of those records are becoming dangerous for humans….so for sportsmen they go for the PEDs. I do think that all sports should have to pee atleast once during the middle of the season.
I'm jealouse of EMMA…she is in Chicago enjoy the GAME…LOVE CHICAGO….LOVE THE DODGERS!
Thank you dodger4life and enchanted!!!
I think Wally and Beav want to remain boys of mystery, keeping all of us guessing what they are really like 🙂
NellyJune ~ that's not fair! lol
QUESTION: So does the Dodgers have the record of scoring in the 1st inning?
I don't think Andre flying out is bad, striking out…..yes. At least if he is flying out, he is making contact. It's the 2 K's in a game that are killer for me.
Well, that was a good inning for Wolf, thanks to that DP. Let's go Dodgers!!!!!
I notice Ethier's beard is filling in. If he gets hot he better not shave it.
Enchanted, I would not be surprised to find out Joe agrees with you (about the pitching, not about kicking Ned in the groin). However, if the starters could be counted on to go deeper into games, that extra pitcher would not be needed.
He is hot with or wihout the beard….oh oh hitting! Yeah no shaving allowed if he improves…
It's amazing that we keep winning when you consider that since Manny's been gone Paul and Hoffmann each have more home runs playing only a few games than Ethier and Kemp have playing regularly. I'd also venture to say that Pierre has more total bases than the other two outfielders combined in the same time span. Somebody correct me if that's wrong.
Please shut up, Rich and Charlie!
Matt has 10 stolen bases! Not too shabby!
Pierre is HOT right now but he will cool down. Ethier is cool right now but will get HOT….it is all a cycle. Hey just as long that they don't all cool down at the same time.
Well I hope ya'll enjoy the rest of the game & the chatting, but I have to feed some children, then I will go out for some Sushi!
It's like Juan is the only one on the team! I'm getting a little miffed! Casey Blake is playing great! Loney is heating up but, do we hear about them? NO!!!! I know Pierre is playing great right now but, we are a team damn it!
Hey Messagebear Are you just joking?
I'm sensing Trumom may be a Juanaphobe. LOL!!
I'm becoming a Juanaphobe more and more everyday, Enchanted! LOL
Maybe Rick and Charlie are Juanabees.
Yeah, Raffy and James!!!!
They sure are, Enchanted! They just can't stop talking about him!!!!
Nice productive out by BLAKE.
Maybe it's me but it looked like that ball bounced before Dre hit it.
The Dodgers sure do score a lot of runs on groundouts!
Greetings from Wrigley! Emma
The Dodgers sure do score a lot of runs on groundouts!
Hi Emma! Hope you're staying warm.
So far Wolf is looking pretty good . . .
I tell you, MLBN is not partial at all, they treat both team equally, very nice,
Charlie ~ "The amazing Mr. Pierre leads off".
Lets Go Boy's!!!!
Enjoy Emma 🙂
Eric, Psycho, Charlie and Rick should become Pierre's agents. They're doing a great job of selling him.
Isn't that the truth, Sparkleplenty!
..then I say "sell away!!!" Charlie, Rick, Psycho, and Eric………"sell away!!!" The mlb.tv is doing a great job of calling the game…………….they are talking about both teams very equally.
Hey everyone. Happy Anniversary, Nelly!
Sparkle, I had to buy a jacket to keep warm. Thanks d4.
Boy, that Randy Wells spent so much time throwing over to first like he almost forgot Furcal at the plate,
Thank you bluecrewgirl!!!
A very happy anniversary to you and your husband, Nelly!
Don't want to jinx him, but Wolf is pitching a pretty nice game tonight.
Happy Anniversary Nelly
WOLF looks good through the 5th and still looks strong.
A few more runs for us would be nice!
WTG Andre!
Yeah Andre!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now, that's our Andre!!!!!!
Andre, that's the way to hang in there and wait for your pitch! Keep it up!!!!
8 pitch double for Dre is a VERY good sign he may be coming out of it.
Thank you sparkleplenty and oldbrooklynfan!!!!!
Martin on the other hand…
BTW, does Gagne really want to pitch for the Dodgers, or does Boras just want to bilk Ned out a few more million?
In the article I read, it seems that Gagne wants to come back.
That's a quote from Gagne.
If Ned signs Gagne, then you can kick him in the groin one more time for me.
I don't think Gagne can pitch any more. So, there is a good chance he will end up with the Dodgers!
I'd like to know who Bradley's agent is – he really pulled one over on the Cubbies, $30 million. Can you believe that?
Yeah, I bet Tomko and Henderson want to come back too.
Boras? LOL!!!!!
JP sure doesn't believe in letting the pitcher get a minute or two rest on the bench does he?
Way to go Andre! Great catch!!!
Uh-oh, Mota's warming up in the bullpen.
Just love those double plays!!!
His agent is Levinson brothers not Boras.
Nice inning boys…………….let's get some insurance runs…………………10 ought to do it………….well, maybe 🙂
spit – I was just kidding about Boras, really I was 🙂
Actually 2/20 millions.
Sorry. Being a roider I naturally thought Gagne was a Boras man.
Actually that was directing to the Bradley one but I think he knew that already lol.
Damn Furcal bunt right there look like when Pierre used to do that lol.
Damn it would been nice for him to get out of this inning.
WOLF pitched a gem and he really deserves a win, if they could only get it for him.
He did pitch a great game. A double play would be nice right now.
YES!! Another DP!!!
Just what the doctor ordered!
I love the Double Play!!!
Whew!!!!!!!!!! Come on Dodgers……………….a 2,4,……….10 run inning would be nice.
Way to go, Ramon!
Way to go Boy's!!!
Let's get some insurance runs here.
2 more walks and we have a run.
That was one heck of a slide by Martin.
Okay Ramon………………it's up to you babe!!!! You can do it!!!!!!!!!!!
That should be RAMON
Shut Em Down Troncoso!!!!
So Troncoso and Torre better hold up not pinch hitting for P
Nail biting time . . . .
Hi ITD!!!!!!!!
can we get another DP!
Go Dodgers!!!
Damn, this isn't good!
Hi, Koufax!
One more out is all we need!
Pass the victory flask!!!!
WooHoo, win streak!!!! Way to sack up Tron!!!!
That was a little too close for me! Way to go Ramon! Way to go Dodgers!!!!
Gutsy show, Ramon!!!
He didn't have his best stuff, but he gutted it out. Great job, Ramon!
Ramon Troncoso says – OLE!!!!
I know it was tough good job Troncoso.
Holy moley Break out the shots! T&T did it. Go Dodgers!
Way to start it up and get it done! Wolf Just fabulous! just what we needed!
Wrong he had great stuff, that the way he had to pitch, in this situation BCG.
Way to go Dodgers….Wolf…Fantastic outing….Nice job Troncoso 🙂
2-1… Nice for the pitching staff to win a game for a change.
Any one for double shots???????? Double shots for ITD!!!!!!!!!
Where's seesky!!!?????
jhall is in the ITD House!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Tru blu
Just Awesome.! How are you?
I think I would of pinch hit for Mr. T, but Torre had it right!
When he put those first two runners on, I was about ready to empty the flask. But he did it!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great job, Ramon!!!!!!!
There is seesky!!!!……………………just in time too 🙂
Glad you had some left over for us, seesky ):
You would had who to close? Mota? Ohman? I don't think so. Belisario wasn't even available.
Maybe Wade or Leach? I really doubt it if that was the last year Wade yes but still don't trust him.
BonJoir Nelle'!!! Wow, nail biter, but nice win.
Wade! Thanks for the shots. I got more to share. and a victory walk!
Jhall, good to see you as always.
I wish we had a healthy Kuo.
That was as nail-biting as they come,and I am sure we are going to be in for plenty more. However, as long as we are on the winning end of them…………………..it's all good 🙂
We haven't had a lot of close, low scoring games this year. Winning these types of games are particularly sweet…. Does joepierre know about the Maglie no-hitter audio on youtube??? If not, I think he would really enjoy it.
Any bets we can go 3 games at Coors and 4 at Wrigley without a HR?
Wow, great win. Never got to comment. Was watching on the big screen downstairs and my computer is upstairs. Way to go. We need 2 of the next 3 at least.
…hopefully they let our nails grow back a bit before the next one……………………well, on second thought………..a tad before tomorrow 🙂
Merci BleuFille'!!! Likewise. I must admit, I wasn't too optimistic when Tron loaded them up with 1 out. Maybe the kid is turning the corner.
Nelly, we can always get press-on nail tips to chew on – LOL
We need good Billz tomorrow!!!!!!
I'd like to see a few long balls hit in Wrigley
Hell', I'm down to the first knuckle. I won't have any fingers left with this bullpen. LOL!!!
Me too, boblee.
3 out of 4 in this series would be great but it's tough to do on the road. Unless, of course, you're playing NL West opponents.
Koufax, Jhall and the rest of the gang ~ Wow, that was an exciting finish! I'll be all four games are like this one.
I'd love to take 3 of 4 on the road, but a split would be acceptable. If we play .500 on the road and take care of our house, we'll be sleeping in 4 leaf clovers!!!!
sparkleplenty – I am already wearing acrylic nails, and it won't be long before I am biting through those. LOL!!!!
jhall – no kidding!!! BTW – you and enchanted will be very much missed at this tour if you are not there.
jhall,you can always chew on your drapes if you run out of knuckles.
Hey Trumom!!! Almost a little too exciting!! LOL!!!!
I can't remember the last time this team was 19 games over .500, let alone started a season like this.
I actually thought we were going to lose the game. What a pleasant surprise!
The best Dodger record after 50 games would be an interesting stat to find out.
LOL Sky!! I was ready to set the darn drapes on fire if Tron blew this game. HaHa!!!
Thanks Nelly!! I'd love to be there, but unfortunately, it isn't in the cards this year. I'm sure you, Trumom, and Eric will represent me well.
Its the power of the garden gnome Tru. THINK JUAN and give it the old Juan-Blue!! LMAO!!!
LOL Trumom!!! I had pretty much accepted that we were going to lose it. I had to to keep from burning the darn drapes if we lost. :))))
Besides, I'm not sure Josh would not have Dodger security waiting for Beav and myself!!! LOL!!!
My luck if I went on the tour I wind up alone in a dark corner of the stadium with JP, Ned, Joe, Frank & Jamie.
Would be fun sitting up in the loge having a beer with all of you though.
We could call that Captain Beav and the ship of Fools!!!!
I'd certainly rather hang with you all than the aforementioned quintet!!!!
Anyone think Kuroda might need another week or so in rehab before we bring him back? 7 runs and 9 hits in 5 innings against single A hitters isn't what I'd call impressive.
If you ran into Frank, you could give him hot real estate tips.
I think he could use about a month Beav. No need to rush him back at this point.
During tomorrow's game I am going to keep track of how many times they refer to Juan as: fantastic; awesome; unreal, etc. I'll bet you it will be close to 50 times!
Maybe I could get him to take a few wooden marathons.
LOL, trublue! You're probably right about that.
I'm really shocked thar so far JP hasn't cost us any games with his arm.
Agreed on Kuroda Wally.
Or shocked THAT so far…
Obviously I was a pirate in a previous life.
I am much happier with our owners, GM, manager, and Phew (as long as he keeps his OBP above .360) than last year. They made some huge blunders the first couple of years, but, to their credit, seem to have learned from it!!! I can live with that. It is totally unacceptable to keep making the same mistakes however!!!!
Just a thought, but does anyone think it is a coincidence that the guys have come together as a team since Jeffy Kent is gone. I think he was a much bigger problem than we really know.
I admit, its hard to find fault when they're 34-15.
But I'll keep trying!!!
LOL Beav!!!! You go brother!!!!
Okay – I am back……………major connnection issues……….very frustrating.
I don't think it is jhall. They got it together when he was out last year.
Jhall ~ I think Jeff was a cancer in the clubhouse! Not just ours, but even when he was a Giant.
I love pirates, Enchanted! Thar she blows!!!
Nice point Beav!!!
It also helps that this year they have honest to goodness PVLs to take up the slack.
LOL Trumom!!! Totally on it!!! There's a reason he doesn't have a ring!!! Self absorbed A-hole!!!!
Jeff didn't like the "kids"!
Was that a pirate imitation Tru or were you talking about our bullpen?
The one PVL who has more than taken up the slack is Orlando. He's always upbeat, smiling, and plays his heart out.
I don't think he liked people in general trublu, lol.
…even JP has filled that role pretty good as a true pvl since being in his hot streak…………………..did I just say that?????……………….OMG!!!! I did!!!!!! ….just maybe I am turning a corner.
Nellyjune – Pierreaholic!!!
O-Dog is a really positive person, sparkleplenty.
Just as long as they aren't the Pittsburg variety, huh, tru???????
I don't think there's a veteran on this team that you couldn't point to as a positive influence – Hudson, Blake, Loretta, et al (even Pierre right now.) They didn't have any of that last year except from Manny and a little from Blake.
LMAO, Enchanted! It very well could be our bullpen!
NellyJune ~ what the hell happened to you?! Did the ocean air affect your senses?! Are you sure this is NellyJune?!
I wouldn't go that far enchanted…………………..Mariya perhaps. She gives us all a bad time for giving JP a hard time. We still have a little over a month for things to go back to the way they were in the Dodger Universe, and the Ethieraholics and the Juanpians will be just as they were meant to be.
But you'll never be a Torre-adore!!
We'll never be coaxed over to the other side, enchanted, lol.
Ethieraholics NEVER give up on Andre, no matter how hard it hurts sometimes. It's taking everything in my power to be nice when it comes to JP.
I don't know… what do you think Wally – is Mom a closet Juanpian?
That's right jhall!!!!!………………….you keep smilin because in the end the Ethieraholics will prevail and the juanpians will be left with nothing but a noodle arm to call their own 🙂
NellyJune ~ you have more restraint than I do…….I didn't say anything for a while but, I can't take it anymore. He is doing a good job but, so is everyone else on the team. I think Manny is missed by Andre, Russell and Matt. He had thm loose and seeing the ball well. When Manny comes back, then what happens? You know Joe love Juan, so Andre or Matt will sit and, I won't be able to tolerate that!
Trust the force Nelly. Don't be tempted by the Ned/Phew side of the force.
Trublu, Andre is showing signs of coming around and I am hoping the next few weeks will be like Sept. of 2008 for him. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Once an Ethieraholic………..always an Ethieraholic 🙂
LOL Beav!! No, I think Mom is biting her lip and showing composure until the inevitable real Phew shows up!!!!
enchanted – If I am……….I am not doing a very good job of hiding it. I get reprimanded every day from my daughter about my behavior, and I hear your father got the same talkin' to.
I had to vent a little bit tonight, NellyJune! I almost turned to drinking, listening to Charlie and Rick talking about how Juanderful Pierre is. he's just Juaninamillion, isn;t he?!
I'm so ticked, I can't even type! * He's, isn't
Oh June, I'm home……. what's for dinner?
….perfect timing as always Ward Dear. Thank God you are home. They are calling me names……………..of the worst kind too………………… a juanpian.
After tonight's game, the Dodgers placed Will Ohman on the disabled list, according to Dodgers broadcaster Charley Steiner (via Dodger Thoughts commenter Dave60). The team called up catcher A.J. Ellis, moving back to a 12-man pitching staff and freeing Brad Ausmus to pinch-hit more frequently.
I don't have a huge problem with people jumping on the Phew wagon. I have to say that I am impressed with the way he has responded and played since Manny got suspended. He is a very huge and pleasant surprise. I hope he can keep it up. Bottom line is, I want our Dodgers to bring home a championship. I don't care if it is freaking Lance Carter or Danys Baez that get the job done. LOL!!!! Just get it done!!!
……………dinner? What dinner?
Answer to "seeskybout": The best Dodger record after 50 games was 38 wins/ 12 losses accomplished by the 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers who starded the season with 10 wins and ended the season by winning the World Series for the first time in Dodger history in 7 games against the Damm Yankees. I hope the same thing happens this year. Especially for Torre!!!
Best Dodger records after 50 games, courtesy of baseball-reference.com:
Los Angeles Dodgers: 36-14 in 1974
Brooklyn Dodgers: 38-12 in 1955
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!!! How are you Chevelle?!!! My night is complete!!!
Amen to that jhall!!!!!
Just get behind me Junie, I'll protect you from those ruffians!! Well, you better turn your back for a minute as well. This might get ugly……
I need to answer messagebear's challenge (at least I think it was him)
Extra-base hits since, well, you know:
Pierre – 12 (9 – 2Bs, 3 – 3Bs)
Kemp – 3 (1 of each)
Ethier – 3 (all doubles)

Gee Dad, I'll bet you mess with bear cubs while the mama bear is nearby!!!
EXEMPLARY!!!© Beav. LMFTO!!!!!
It's okay Ward Dear………….I do know that information myself, but I am remaining optimistic that all things will be as they should come July 3rd.
It's okay Ward Dear………….I do know that information myself, but I am remaining optimistic that all things will be as they should come July 3rd.
jhall, mes ami! (Is that right? LOL!!!) Are you sure there's no way you can find your way out here next month? Man, it would be OUT-FRIGGIN-STANDING!®
I guess it should say big TOE, not big TO, but hey its late.
Thanks Chevelle!!! Not looking good for me. It would be totally freaking awesome to meet and hang with you and mom!!!! As well as the rest of this great gang of Blue Bleeders!!!!
I am with dodgereric on that jhall and you too enchanted 🙂
I think Beav and I are afraid that Ned, Phew's mama, and Dodger security would be there to greet us!!! LOL!!!
I didn't know e was still around, else I'd have included you in that lament! Great song e! And believe it or not, I caught the 'toe' thing and changed it when I posted 'er at DodgerLyrics.
I can hear Beav now; "I ain't afraid of Ned or Dodger security"!!!! Who ya gonna call; Phew Busters!!!!
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!! very funny jhall!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah jhall, they'd know who I was as soon as I kicked Ned in the groin.
Thanks E, and no worries – I had to write that quick little ditty so was gone a few minutes.
Gotta remember Dad, Beav is always around/present. Like Wolfman Jack!!! LOL!!!! Rock and Roll!!!!
Lyons mentioned during the game that Pierre can't be intimidated.
He don't know me vewy well, do he?
Shame Ohman has to go on the disabled list :{
I'd love to be a fly on the wall when Dad meets Ned, Nelly meets Phew, and Beav tells JoJo how to manage!!! LOL!!!
I thought that would make your day enchanted.
Time now for Mota to meet an unfortunate happenstance…
Oh…………that would be something alright.
jhall – I have a hard enough time meeting players I like.
LOL!!! Spring training Nelly!!! Got to meet most all the players I really liked at Vero!!! Brett Butler was by far the best!!!
By far! Wow, that's some endorsement! How many STs did you get to see?
I'd love to see Butler back in the Dodger fold. He would be a great influence on our young team. Class act all the way!!!!
I went to Vero 12 times Chevelle!!! One of the best things I ever did and experienced. Now that ST is out there, you should take advantage of it. You will never regret it.
I agree on getting Butler back. I'm big on tradition, and bringing guys back in the fold can be great.
I got close this year, I was in Phoenix less than a week before they opened camp. Maybe next year.
The only Dodger I ever met in person was Ron Cey, but it wasn't pretty.
That's great jhall!!!! I think Spring Training may be a great thing next year.
I don't think any player has to worry about me becoming a stalker fan. Both times I actually got to meet Andre, I was a basket case and barely got two words out…….and I would never go up to them if I saw them out and about in their private life activities outside of the realm of a Dodger function. I respect their everyday life as people.
My first ST was in 1988!!! Over the 5 years we had the rookie of the year, I carried the baseball back and got them all to sign it. One of my treasured possesions.
I'd like to hear that story Chevelle!!! LOL!!!!
Ohman was hurt damn now it's Mota turned and maybe Furcal lol.
That is cool jhall!!!! That is fabulous and what a great year to get that!!!!
….be careful what you wish for jhall 🙂 LOL!!! I am truly just kidding. If anybody can tell a wonderful story, it's dodgereric.
That's awesome! What a keepsake!
I've got a Duke Snider ball here in the house. A kid we used to carpool with was playing ball nearby and his dad spotted the Duke in the crowd and told him to go get his sig for me. What a surprise! Too bad I didn't get to meet him.
Damn, fell asleep in my chair. Now I KNOW I'm getting old. What I miss?
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!! enchanted – that happens to all of us!!!!!!!! You didn't miss much that you can't catch up on.
Too cool Dad/Chevelle!!! I'd love to have a Snider ball. Reese and Hodges too. I did run into Ralph Branca and got his autograph. It was funny, as that day, I wore my Brooklyn t-shirt and hat to the game. He autographed the ball and my Brooklyn hat. Nice fellow also.
I believe E owes us a bedtime story about Ron Cey.
I'll second that Beav!!!!
I bet he is working on it right now 🙂 He has been very quiet since it was brought up.
I myself have no Ron Cey stories other than seeing him at a racketball club once.
We need an Eric/Dad story!!!
Hope he doesn't say what Johnny says!! LOL!!!
Gee Wally, I'm surprised Mom and Dad aren't sore at us for staying up late on a school night.
What would that be Wally???
Well you know his stories take time. Ethier that or he is having computer issues and is yelling at his computer at the moment.
Gosh, maybe there to busy doing grown up stuff.
Me sore? I took the day off from school – LMAO!!!!!!!!!!! Now, your father……………that's another story.
Oh, twist my arm…………..
Probably '78 – '79. I went to a game with 3 friends. We worked together and played slowpitch together too. I don't think all 4 of us were ever in the seats at the same time. Must have had 80 beers between us. Oh, on the way into the park, we saw a 240Z (or 260 or 280) with the plates "3B 10" on it. Looking through the windows, we saw several bats inside.
Anyway, after the game we had to pass by his car again. There must have been 30 kids waiting. We thought we'd wait to see how he handled it. Once he got there, he signed a couple of autographs and got in his car and started it up. We said, "Man, he's gonna take off!" and we started walking through the lot towards my old '68 Chevelle.
He came roaring through the lot, passing by us about 25 feet away. One of my buddies yelled out, "I LIKE DUSTY BAKER BETTER!" He slams on the brakes, jumps out and yelled back, "DON'T YOU CALL ME A MOTHER-YOUKNOWWHAT". Only he didn't say youknowwhat.
We just kind of stared at each other for a second. We were awfully drunk, but we were pretty sure we didn't say that and told him so. But then I started ripping into him for not signing for all those kids. He said, "I signed for every kid who brought a pen." I said, "You just signed a big contract (I think it was about $300K, big at the time), you can afford to keep a 19-cent Bic pen in your car's visor for those kids who think you're God!"
This went on for a minute or two and then he took off again. We were actually both impressed and appalled that he would stop to confront 4 drunken construction workers all alone in the parking lot. At least we got said what needed to be said.
I told you – LOL!!!!!!! Didn't I tell you……………..boys, you never listen to me, do you?
Too cool!!!
That is some story Eric!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!
Now that I've had my story I'll bid you all a fond goodnight.
Nice having the family all together and chatting with you all!! Maybe next year if they do a tour I'll make it out there to meet you all and get you all in trouble 🙂
OK gang, have a great weekend. Going out of town for a wedding. It's been a pleasure blogging with you all. Goodnight and God Bless you!!! Thanks for the laughs.
Escelsior True Blue Believers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good Night enchanted!!!! We have an early game tomorrow so you need your rest. Take Care and God Bless 🙂
Glad you liked it! I don't like letting my family down!
Good night Beav! I still like the idea of meeting in AZ for a ST game, sitting in the stands, tossing back one or two and making fun of everyone around!
Good Night jhall…………….have a good time at the wedding. Take care and God Bless to you as well 🙂 It's always great seeing you, and it's even better when your father and Theordore can be here too………makes it that much more fun!! :)))))))
Good night Wally! Maybe after the game we can take in this place:
We're there Pop!!! Goodnight my friends!!!!
OMG!!!!!!!!! Andre needs to a review of that place!!!
dodgereric ~ I am not sure if you read the previous thread, but thanks for the song earlier this afternoon.
You're most welcome! I think that came from The Flintstones, but I wouldn't swear to it.
I'm very tired for some reason, so I'm going to have to say, "Goodnight and God Bless you and yours". And pass on my best wishes to Bill. He got himself a good one 21 years ago. As did you!
Thank you and good night to you!!!! I am falling asleep, and I have a very busy 6 days of school left with a busy weekend in between. Take Care and as always…………God Bless you and your wonderful family as well 🙂
Wakey-wakey, eggs and bakey.

Frank McCourt has no problem with Manny Ramirez playing in All-Star game
Dodgers owner says if fans vote him into the lineup, 'It'd be a great honor.'
By Dylan Hernandez
On The Dodgers
May 29, 2009
Reporting from Chicago — Dodgers owner Frank McCourt said he would like to see Manny Ramirez play in the All-Star game if fans vote him into the National League's starting lineup.
Ramirez, who is serving a 50-game suspension for violating baseball's drug policy, was fourth among NL outfielders in the first round of balloting. The top three will start in the game, which will be played July 14 in St. Louis.
"Do I want to see him?" McCourt said.
"Sure, if he gets voted in. It'd be a great honor."
The news of Ramirez's controversial All-Star candidacy made national headlines this week, but McCourt said he was unaware of where his $25-million left fielder stood in the balloting.
When informed, he said, "The fans are going to make up their own minds about this. I think fans think for themselves and they're entitled to do that."
McCourt, who watched the Dodgers earn a 2-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field on Thursday, said he hasn't spoken to Ramirez since they met at the outfielder's Pasadena apartment on May 9.
McCourt maintained his stance that he didn't think it was necessary for Ramirez to explain how and why he violated baseball's drug policy.
McCourt said the mounting evidence that Ramirez used steroids hasn't changed his mind. Ramirez was suspended for having a prescription for HCG, but The Times reported that no trace of the female fertility drug was found in Ramirez's system and that the drug test Ramirez took in spring training was flagged for having an unusually elevated synthetic testosterone level, leading anti-doping experts to say that Ramirez took steroids.
"I don't have the expertise nor have I seen any of the tests or the results, so I'm not in the position myself to address any of it," McCourt said.
Sources in Ramirez's camp have indicated that he will offer few, if any, details of the circumstances that led to his suspension.
McCourt said he would be fine with that.
"Only he can decide what he should say," McCourt said. "Personally, I would look forward not backward. That's just my philosophy. But he's going to have to deal with this the way it's most comfortable for him to deal with it. I think once you acknowledged your mistake, what more is there to say?"
But for Ramirez to acknowledge his mistake, doesn't he have to say what the mistake was?
"Personally, I don't think so," McCourt said.
McCourt said his preference to "look forward and not backward" wasn't like that of suspected steroid user Mark McGwire, who said at a congressional hearing on performance-enhancing drugs in 2005 that he wasn't there to "talk about the past."
"It's a very different situation," McCourt said.
McCourt said he's pleased with the way Ramirez has handled the situation so far.
McCourt asked Ramirez to address his teammates and Ramirez did that in Florida two weeks ago.
Asked if he was concerned that Ramirez's performance as a Dodger has been fueled by steroids and that he might not be the same player when he returns on July 3, McCourt didn't answer the question directly.
"I think Manny is a very, very talented baseball player and I think he's going to come back and contribute," he said.
"That's all I have to say."
McCourt said he expects Ramirez to play in the minor leagues to prepare for his activation.
Under league rules, Ramirez will be permitted to play in as many as 10 minor league games.
I know that it's not in Mr. McCourt's best interest to say he doesn't want his guy in the All-Star Game if elected. He's still paying him lots of money, he's still on the team, and obviously everything is emotionally compounded by the positive (no pun intended) impact Manny had in his short time with the Dodgers before the suspension.
But this begs the question:
Whatever happened to "No Comment"?
The Fifth? The F-i-f "Fifth"?!!!
This is just like lobbing a slow-pitch softball to those windbag Steinbrenners to do a bit of soapboxing while their roid-bunny will probably be starting at third that night (Why is A-Rod a bunny? Answer is it's 12:44am on a Thursday, and nothing like a few ice cold brews after work). I don't know what the talking heads of the nation's AM dial will have to say about this (since it is still very early), but I'm guessing that the old adage will be proven: Better to be silent and thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
Silence can be golden.
Look like it was Wade bday yesterday so happy belated 26th bday Wade.
Oh wow I didn't even know Bob Hope widow was still alive and celebrate her 100th bday but I really wonder what's the secret is to live that long?
Remain breathing.
Good morning ITD, Dodger Faithful
Enchanted I enjoyed your song once again…Eric funny story involving Ron Cey, North thanks for the read.
Boy's I enjoyed the game last night, Wolfy very nice outing once again, Pierre you have been fabulous thus far, keep on keep'n on. Orlando very nice showing at the plate, re – load, and fire away again. Outstanding defense from all.
Chad Billingsley on the hill today 11:20 am PT. LETS GO DODGERS, LETS GO!!!!!!
Enjoy your day and enjoy the game everyone…..:-)
Good Morning Enchanted & Dodger4life. With Chad pitching today, I am confident we will chalk up another WIN!!
Great late night reading material from all of you night owls.
Dodgereric, thanks for having the information to prove my point that Pierre has more total bases than Ethier and Kemp put together since you know what. I didn't say it to demean Andre and Matt, but it is about time for both of them to start HITTING. I'm also glad to see Ellis up with the big club. Not that he's a power hitter, but then neither is Martin, and maybe having another potential catcher presence will light some fire under Martin as well.
Bear ~ I think they brought Ellis up in order to give Joe more options off the bench. He can now use Ausmus or even Ellis as a pinch hitter and still have a back-up catcher just in case something should happen to Russell. Don't you agree?
Yes, I do agree that is the case, trublu. I just like to dig at Martin a bit, because his offensive history over the three seasons that he's now been with us is all going in the wrong direction. He needs to recognize that if he doesn't turn it around, he may not be the permanent catcher up here.
Good morning enchanted , tru and bear…Thats what they say tru. I think Ausmus could actually use a little more at bat time. It must be tough not being able to lend a helping hand in these good times.
I think it's a good move. The more options on the bench, the better!
Well in hockey Red Wings normal carries 3 goalies but they had old man Hasek so I guess carries 3 catchers won't be so bad but would like to see Mitch Jones up here or give Repko another shot but don't know if Repko is out of option.
I was just reading the power ranking from yesterday. 1. Los Angeles Dodgers (34-15; Previous: 1) – Lasorda to represent club at draft, promises to return from 62nd round with another Piazza.
I hope there is another Piazza but it won't be another 62nd rounds.
Enchanted ~ Thanks to you and the other Juanpians, Facebook now has: Juan Pierre, the forgotten left fielder (a bid to get him in the All-Star Game) and Juan Pierre is God (a group you can join)!
I hope there is another Piazza but it won't be another 62nd rounds.
I bet the AL fans are trying to get him in to win another homefield advantage which is a joke lol. Should do like basketball and hockey where the best record gets it.
I also think the best record should get homefield advantage, Spit.
Maybe Ellis can start a game…just to nudge Mr. Martin a bit. Tell me again why Martin consistently bats ahead of Kemp? Kemp has better numbers across the board…more hits, more runs scored, more RBIs, more stolen bases, more power. OK, Kemp leads the team in Ks, but he's hitting 30 points higher than Martin. Whatever, the Dodgers are 16-7 post Manny. I should probably take a chill pill on Martin………..or not.
To be on a major hot streak is one thing, but to be named an All-Star is quite another. Will this nightmare ever end, or is this just punishment for not being the nice person I normally am?
NellyJune ~ I think this nightmare is just beginning!
Kahli ~ I have a season-long supply of Chill-Pills! I think I'm going to have to re-order soon because my supply is already running low!
Good Morning ITD
Well it sucks to read about ETHIER, MARTIN & KEMP. But it is true. They do need to improve. Sometimes I feel like walking up to them and just slapping them across the face just to have the snap out of it. LOVE my boys, they are my fave but hey I'm a mom and sometimes the kids need a lil' something to make them behave and come to their senses!
I'm with you TRU and I know a lot of you feel the same here. I've complain so many times about how the media like to just give the credit to one person in the team. It is not about MANNY it is not about PIERRE. Last night games 1st inning scored was awesome, but it wasn't because of PIERRE. The punt hit was amazing, it went far and FURCAL should be the one getting the MOST of the credit (PIERRE+FURCAL=1RUN). Now I feel like walking over the media and slapping them across the face. DODGERS IS A TEAM! WOLF was great! HUDSON had a great hitting streak….GOOOOO HUDSON. BLAKE has been great consistently. PIERRE best improvement!
HOMEFIELD advantage should be based on best record. Can fans vote on who decides homefield advantage!
Well said, Msrussyethier!
msrussy, what article are you referring to regarding kemp, martin and ethier?
Oh no article PERU…just the comments from some people here, and hearing my family (which are dodgers fans). And hearing Vin and other commentators mentioned how they have been in a slump etc. etc.
Ahhh, thanks!
You know guys, it's day like this (an 11am start) that make me especially happy to work from home! 🙂 Go Blue!!!
Working from home, must be nice! I work at an office and my start is at 6:30 a.m.
Yeah, I worked in my office for the first 7 years at this job, for the last 1.5 it's been at home and it is pretty nice. 🙂

Steve Cooper, a member of the IASB, discusses an accounting approach for dynamic risk management.
One area of financial reporting that may leave investors struggling today is the accounting for risk management—particularly, dynamic risk management. Many entities are exposed to market price movements that affect their profitability. For example, a bank's net interest income is often the most significant contributor to profitability. However, net interest income is exposed to changes in interest rates. How well a bank manages this risk affects its profitability. Managing these risks on a continuous and dynamic basis is one of the key elements of financial risk management. Dynamic management of interest rate risk is therefore a critical component of a bank's ongoing risk management activities.

Translated by Marsha Kayser Whoever emigrates to America, the Golden Land, finds out that, no sooner does he get off the boat, than he can start to worry immediately about the unfortunate and suffering people exhausted by hunger and hardship, who were left behind in the old home, and thinks he will come to their aid as soon as possible. You are sure about this, that in the Golden Land, everyone rakes in dollars with shovels, and you will not encounter any hungry children, children who have no education or whose upbringing suffers it seems to you that, after you get a roof over your head, you will immediately immerse yourself in the effort and manage to get money somehow, in order to help out the miserable people left behind in the old home.
But the reality is entirely different. The rosy pictures described before leaving for the Golden Land are transformed into dark clouds. Your own friends, on whom you have built your golden fantasies, are themselves pressed in the struggle for a living and you look around, totally forlorn, in a foreign environment, without the language, no friendly glance, a stranger among thousands of strangers. Pained, you must refuse to think about those left behind on the other side of the ocean. And even during sleepless nights, in a morbid mood filled with longing and tormented by certain drudgery, the pale images emerge of the old home, and you must, despite the pain and awareness, stifle your feelings because your situation is also wretched and helpless.
Years went by in 1929, an economic crisis occurred worldwide, especially in Bessarabia. And a cry of desperation reached us from the honorable community leader Moyshe Ravich, regarding the tough situation with which the leaders of the Ladies Committee in Orheyev struggled. The community leaders, Mrs. Rachel Ravich and Mrs. Rivka Levinson, were literally desperate due to the critical economic crisis in which the Ladies Committee found themselves, unable to provide a warm bit of cooked food for the hungry suffering children from Talmud-Torah or Yeshivah.
Stirred by the outcry, I turned to my close friends and we went out to our Orheyev compatriots for help. Our first step was very difficult. For entire days we climbed up the hilly streets in the Bronx and Brooklyn. We returned tired and disappointed by evening with meager donations. But the image of suffering and hungry children in Orheyev stood before our eyes and would not permit failure. We prevailed upon more Orheyev women to dedicate themselves to the important campaign. With their help we achieved gratifying results. At that time my brother Avrum returned from a search in Bessarabia. When we had an opportunity we called together an assembly of Orheyev compatriots to whom he gave a moving and eloquent greeting and described the horrible situation in Orheyev. Moved to tears by the harsh news, we doubled our efforts for the relief campaign. In a short time we sent the collected funds. Our fervent wish, to establish frequent contact with Orheyev, unfortunately failed because the administration of Romanian postal officials was in disarray.
Twenty-five years passed from that time and from the time of the influenza epidemic. The active people, pictured here in Orgeyever Ladies Committee in New York, now worked not for Orheyev but for the State of Israel.
Mrs. G. Shafin-Spivak was the first to respond to our message, to participate in the book and sent us her memoirs, which show her noble responses to various community organization activities in which she served as a leader. Raised an orphan (without a mother) and with the father a sick man, she relied on her own abilities and earned everyone's respect. What a rarity - like no one else, she showed concern and valued the importance of the Yizkor book, thinking it the least possible expression of our duty to those murdered. Also, in the middle of everything else, she got out the picture of the farm from her brother's archive (a picture that went back sixty years ed. note: see Figure 84) and sent many letters promoting the distribution of the book and wished to live to see the fruits of the writing. As in her childhood, she had a bitter fate at the end of her life. After three hard sick years confined to bed, her soul soared.

So a couple weeks ago, I had one of those moments. I honestly don't remember what got me so upset, but my husband had been out of town for days, I had forgotten something for the Bub's school, I had overextended myself blog-wise and I was just feeling like a bad mom and wife in general. Just one of those days.
I was talking to myself (I do that a lot) and lamenting all the things I had done wrong that day and really just beating myself up about it. And then I started crying (just great), which is not something I do often.
So I'm standing in the middle of the bedroom, crying, and I it just hit me – I told myself (yes…out loud) to just give myself a break.
My husband was gone and during the fall that was a common occurrence (he's retired from teaching music but as busy as ever with other stuff) and you know what – like always, I was handling things by myself and doing a decent job of it. I needed to give myself a break.
This blog is now my "job" and I love it so dang much, but there are times that it gets stressful. And then I beat myself up for even thinking that this perfectly perfect job is stressful sometimes. Like that means I'm not grateful for it. But I need to give myself a break. Every job has stress.
And although I don't feel like a bad mom often, I do hate when I don't stay on top of things for my son. But in the end, he's an incredibly happy, well adjusted kid. And that night he went to bed content and without a care in the world, and that is all that matters to me at the end of the day.
I thought about all of us women – I believe the men in our lives stress just as much (you may not realize it but they do), but I think we expect every aspect of what we do to be pretty darn perfect, and our men take it a little easier on themselves.
So, as we roll into the holiday season I wanted to remind you all to GIVE YOURSELF A BREAK.
The past two years I've not had time to write out and send Christmas cards:
It is STUPID how bad that makes me feel. Like I failed at Christmas.
I didn't. Santa still came. Joy was had. My friends still know we exist. :)
I always like to hand write my cards – but this year maybe I'll print out address labels and do the photo card. Or not. Either way, life will go on.
I LOVE holiday traditions but they can get out of hand. There's only so much time in the day people! So our Elf doesn't get into crazy antics (although I enjoy seeing what he does at other houses):
And sometimes…sometimes, he stays in the same spot two (three!) nights in a row. Mama has stuff to do. I may not be able to pull that off this year though, the boy is getting older and smarter. (Last year was stretching it.)
I always have grand plans for baking and cooking and trying new recipes and entertaining like a BOSS…but then the day of the party comes and I end up throwing together my cheater cookies that are just as yummy and festive:
And the elaborate recipe I was going to try out ends up being frozen meatballs in the slow cooker.
But you know what? Who cares?? People are fed and it's good. Give yourself a break.
This is just a friendly reminder – think of me as the tiny voice in your head this holiday season. Take care of yourself. Try to take it easy. Cut yourself some slack. It will be wonderful, even if the Elf on the Shelf actually stays on the shelf. ;)

The Nerds Rock Inferno
with Bible of the Devil and Black Maria
Tuesday, April 25, Burt's Tiki Lounge (21-and-over); Free: As a pretty genuine, bona fide nerd, I can honestly say that these so-called "nerds" that make up The Nerds Rock Inferno scare the shit out of me. These aren't the type of nerds who internalize or bottle up their anger. Instead, one too many kicks to the groin via the high school quarterback have sent these comely Italian rockers into a rage-fueled fit of destruction. The Nerds work within a genre that could be defined as hardcore rabble rock that's fast, hard, dirty and not for your average malcontented spectacle wearer. Initial impressions of the band paint a picture of a somewhat chaotic mess of fast chord changes and barely audible screaming. There is, however, method to these nerds' madness. The complex layering and other intricacies can almost catch you off guard because of the Nerds' canaille musical persona. This is the only band I've heard that probably appeals to Rush and Cannibal Corpse fans equally.
In Memoriam
Remembering Ryan King
Local musician leaves behind a legacy of stellar musicianship and genuine passion
On Monday, April 10, Albuquerque lost a valued member of its music community. Ryan King, bassist for the Cowpunk outfit Swingin' Meat and ex-member of the infamous local punk ensemble Beefcake in Chains died at the young age of 34.
Sonic Reducer
Killing Joke Hosannas from the Basements of Hell · Adrian Belew Side Three · Half-Handed Cloud Halos and Lassos
So how do you rock so hard that 25 years and nearly as many releases later, you're still relevant? Ask Jaz Coleman, singer and keyboardist for Killing Joke, whose throaty cries atop churning guitars and tribal drums have spurred all the big names in rock over the last couple of decades. This CD, at its heart, is what's good about post-punk industrial rock: grinding riffs, bruising beats, forceful propulsion—in short, carefully managed chaos. Though some of the tracks are more miss than hit, those that do make contact are solid as granite and certainly worth your cash.

Bucs Foil Chase's Party
The season is normally 162 games in length. For the Phillies, it almost seems as sif they are having three different seasons this season, WC and WR. WC (With Chase) began last night, leaving 86 games left in that season. WR (With Ryan) is getting closer. If it is after the All-Star Game, that season has 75 games remaining.
Opening day for the WC season was filled with excitement and electricity. That turned up a notch when he homered in his first at-bat, calling for a curtain call. When Chooch followed with another dinger, the place was really jumping.
Two walks and a homer by McHenry in the next inning was like sticking a needle in a balloon. The excitement was sucked right out of the air at Citizens Bank Park as the Pirates romped, survived a late Phillies push and then added on.
Because of the split doubleheader on Sunday, the Phillies turned to the bullpen. Six different relievers worked the game, tossing 183 pitches, 75 out of the strike zone.
Chase's debut was impressive but the Pirates spoiled the party.
Series finale this afternoon, with the Pirates ace facing Kyle. Then, a charter flight to Miami and the start of nine games against the East leading up to the All-Star Game.
Down On The Farm
**Lehigh Valley lost, 4-3, to Rochester. RHR B. J. Rosenberg (2-1) allowed a run in 3.1 innings for the loss; he struck out 5.
**Reading beat Richmond, 7-4, behind Julio Rodriguez (5-1), 4 runs, 4 hits, 4 walks, 6 strikeouts, 6 innings. 14th save for RHR Justin Friend.
**Clearwater bowed, 3-2, at Palm Beach as LHS Adam Morgan (2-8) was charged with the defeat, 3 runs, 4 hits, 5 innings.
**Lakewood lost, 7-2, to West Virginia. DH-1B Chris Duffy, 2-4, extended his hitting streak to 13 games (.489).
**Williamsport was a 2-1 winner at Mahoning Valley. 1B Chris Serritella hit his first pro homer in the sixth inning, the decisive run. 3B Mitch Walding, 1-4, RBI.
**Gulf Coast League Phillies beat the Blue Jays, 5-1, in Dunedin, their first win after six losses to start the season. C Williams Astudello, 2-5, RBI; hitting .389. RF Dylan Cozens, 2-4, including a triple, 2 RBI.
June 28, 1887: Phillies shut out Indianapolis, 24-0, which still ranks as the largest scored in a shutout victory in team history.
June 28, 1994: LHP Fernando Valenzuela, signed out of the Mexican League, makes his debut for the Phillies with a no-decision in a 2-1 loss to Florida. Valenzuela allows an unearned run on six hits in six innings.
June 28, 2004: 3B David Bell hits for the cycle in 14-6 win over Montreal at Citizen Bank Park.
June 28, 2011: LHP Cliff Lee is the third Phillies pitcher to toss three consecutive shutouts (3-0 vs. FL, 6/16; 4-0 at StL, 6/22, 4-0 vs. BOS today). He joins RHP Grover Cleveland Alexander (1916) and (RH) Robin Roberts (1950). Alexander holds club record with 4 in a row in September 1911.

Our Approach to Leadership Development
Leaders: Good versus Great
A leader's role is to engage others in committing their full energy to creating value and success. Ultimately, leaders will be judged not on how well they lead but how well they are followed. We believe a leader's role is to integrate both Essence (character) and Form (what a leader does and says)—the "being" and the "doing"—in executing the leadership role.
While a balance of Essence and Form is required, effective leaders are first clear on what they want to Be (Essence) as a leader, before deciding what they need to Do (Form) as a leader.
Because Essence is more enduring and core to a leader, it tends to remain more constant over time. Form, in contrast, represents those elements of leadership that need to change as the level or functional role of the leader changes, and as the organisational challenges change. While distinct, both aspects are essential to effective leadership:

Hey Petertohen! Welcome to the forum! I hope we see more of you in the future.
The current plans for LT absolutely have you capable of making friends (or enemies!) with other factions. You'll have your own personal reputation, and then your faction will have a reputation as well. As for factions having starting territories - I think some of them will, from what we've seen. Some may not have their own planets and may have a space they consider their "territory", and some may roam as nomads, depending on what's most profitable at the time/where they are. The biggest factions will almost certainly have their own headquarters, though, likely as entire star systems, and of course as planets and space stations as well.
There is also a distinct possibility that things may happen that cause factions to fracture into smaller groups - the death of a prominent leader, for instance. Two factions might even merge at some point, or get swallowed up by much larger ones. If the AI treats factions as distinct entities, they could learn to put a value on it, and essentially "purchase" factions from other leaders... provided the leader wants to buy. They would be treated like companies in that instance, more than countries. If NPCs have different "goals", which I'm assured they will, some won't be able to be bought out. And of course, war is always an option.

Money Grows on Trees, The Book Launch
Two weeks ago, a friend of mine asked me if I would be interested to attend a book launch at Fully Booked in Bonifacio Global City (this afternoon) on April 22nd. I asked what the book title is. "Money Grows on Trees," he quipped. I hesitated with "Umm… we'll see." A week later, he came back to me to ask me again. Being my good friend, I agreed. It turned out, I didn't regret it.
I made my way up through the escalators of Fully Booked until I reached the fourth floor, then up the stairs to the enclosed roof deck where the book launch was going to happen. There was probably seating for a hundred or more in the main hall, with the foyer set up with a food table, selling of the book and a previous edition entitled, "I Wish They Taught Money in School (So I Can Start My Own Business Right Away)", a Sun Life Insurance booth, and the registration tables. I saw the word "Bloggers" labeled onto a makeshift place card and walked to it. A nice woman asked me to register. My friend, who I hitched a ride with to Fully Booked, introduced me to one of the authors, Sharon Que, who pointed me to another part of the registration area to get my goody-bag – her two books, a notepad and a bookmark.
When the event was midway, I was surprised that the hundred-plus seating capacity was almost filled up. Wow! This is one of the most attended book launches I've ever gone to. The daughter of a Filipino magnate was there; even Alice Dixson was there.
Sharon Que and Clarissa de la Paz are co-authors of the 104-page book entitled "Money Grows on Trees." It's quite different that each author had half of the book written by one, then flip the book upside down and the other author's writing begins. Their previous book, "I Wish They Taught Money in School" is 148 pages, longer than their second book. During their presentation, they mentioned it took them 90 days to finish their second book. How prepared they were when they started is something I missed hearing.
Clearly, each one gave their reasons for writing the first and second books. They were advocates of vision boards and showed the audience what each of theirs looked like. "Passive income" and "achieve your dreams" were a few of the phrases mentioned. At those instances, I was attentive (I was busy taking a few photos and sharing them in social media – what a digital nut I am; really!), I heard Sharon say she and other business partners bought a building with only ₱60,000 cash on hand.
I fell in line to have both first and second books autographed by Sharon and Clarissa, with a photo op, of course. Mind you, the snacks they prepared for all the attendees were filling – five or six pieces of one-fourth sandwiches, chips, popcorn and juice. Cool!
Writing both books all boiled down to their advocacy of teaching financial literacy to the public, financial freedom and independency – through their books. They have a website, www.lifestyleupgrade101.com or Lifestyle Upgrade 101, where their books are sold online. The regular retail price of the second book is ₱400.
"Do I have time to read it?" Aww, c'mon. The average reading speed worldwide is 200 wpm (words per minute) and the average number of words per page of a book is 250. Do the math and you can finish a page in 1-minute and 15-seconds. Reading 104 pages non-stop will take you only 130 minutes or two hours and ten minutes. Fine. Round it up to two-and-a-half hours. That's even lesser time than watching a Star Wars movie, and you don't get financial literacy from Jedis and the Dark Force.
"Should I fork out ₱400 of my cash?" Four hundred Pesos is like two Grande Frappuccino drinks at Starbucks. I'm sure you can equate it to other consumable items. It's not much to invest in a personal finance book, right? Buy one now! I'm pretty sure Fully Booked has the book stocked. National Bookstore appears in their website with a testimonial; so, that's another place to go.
It's Sunday tomorrow. So, marathon reading, here I come!
P.S. Congratulations to Sharon Que and Clarissa de la Paz for a job well done, not only with the event but by writing books that educate and inspire Filipinos to become financially free to fulfil theirs and their family's dreams in life. Keep it up!

So very excited to show off the Inspired by This Tassels and Tastemakers event that we were so lucky enough to be a part of! The Ace Hotel in Los Angeles is such an incredibly rad new space, and I was so excited to mix in the gold + black + white vibe that Leila was wanting for the party. I'm loving the juxtaposition of elegant and industrial that came together so perfectly.
Gotta love events with so much sparkle! See and read more about the event at Inspired by This.
Happy Monday!
