The attempt to overhaul European television regulations to take Internet broadcasting into account has run into resistance in the UK's House of Lords, where a parliamentary committee has expressed doubt about some of the proposed rules.
In its report, the Lords European Union Committee, Sub-Committee B, worries that many of the proposed changes to the Audiovisual Media Services (AMS) Directive are nothing short of protectionism. "We firmly reject the idea that regulators should act to preserve the market dominance of established players from new entrants," said the report, and added that the committee was also "unconvinced of the need for any quantitative restrictions on advertising in a market which is now clearly open to competition."
The row over the AMS Directive goes back to 1989, when the EU passed a set of regulations known as "Television Without Frontiers" that established a common broadcast policy across EU member states. Advertising content was capped at 15 percent of a broadcaster's daily transmission time, advertisements had to conform to certain rules (tobacco and prescription drugs were verboten), paid sponsorship and product placement were limited, etc. Satellite broadcasts that spanned multiple countries were also addressed, giving the rules their name.
The rules were overhauled in 1997 to better address the current state of a changing market. The overhaul came just before the explosion of Internet connectivity and the rise of "new media," and in 2005, it was decided that Television Without Frontiers needed yet another upgrade to make sure that new broadcasters had to play by the old rules (we reported on an earlier scare that the new directive would ban video bloggers). Along the way, the name was changed from the almost-catchy "Television Without Frontiers" to "Audiovisual Media Services," which sounds like the name of a dusty office full of cabling somewhere in the basement.
The Lords, led by Lord Freeman, worried that the broadcast market now had enough competition that regulatory changes might prove unnecessary. In the report, the committee pointed out that the number of TV channels across Europe has grown from 500 in 1989 to over 1,500 today. One of the key sections of the AMS is the regulation of advertising, but the Lords argue that consumers now have enough choice that they can decide for themselves how much advertising they elect to watch.
The worry is that additional rules will stifle the red-hot online advertising market in the UK, which is currently growing by 40 percent a year. The committee points out that Google UK is set to top the ad revenues from traditional broadcaster Channel 4 this year, and that broadband penetration in the UK is now a whopping 47.4 percent—far above US levels. Because AMS would cover any service that provides "moving images with or without sound, in order to inform, entertain or educate, to the general public by electronic communications networks," it could potentially affect everything from YouTube to the BBC's own online efforts.
The time to voice complaints is quickly running out; Germany currently holds the rotating EU presidency, and has announced that it wants to finalize the AMS by the end of June. Although the Lords do accept the need for reform, and remain in sympathy with many of the goals of the AMS, they are uncomfortable about extending it to new media businesses that are just beginning to come into their own.

FIFA 14 (iOS|Android) is this year's upgrade to what I think is the best sports game on iOS devices, and this latest version does not disappoint. Now with even more licensed teams, more leagues, more players, and refined controls, this game just seems to keep getting better.
Having played many of the previous versions of the franchise on consoles and all of the various soccer games on mobile, the FIFA franchise continues to be the best soccer game on iOS, adding even more content than last year's installment, with 600 fully licensed teams to play, over 16,000 players, 33 leagues, and 34 different stadiums. You can play as your favorite teams, pass to your favorite players with realistic attributes, and use an improved skill move system to get free and go for the goal.
Still the best graphics in a mobile sports game (pictures)See all photos
Better than the last and freemium?
There are more and more games switching over to a freemium model, and as I pointed out in my Where's My Water 2 review, it's often not a good thing. When a game prevents you from playing with wait times, it takes away from the whole experience and can make the game almost unplayable. Fortunately, FIFA (and EA) didn't go in this direction.
This is the first time that a FIFA game has gone free to play, letting you play online matchmaking, penalty shootouts, and Ultimate Team mode to your heart's content if you don't want to pay. But where there are definitely freemium models that annoy and let you pay to be the best, with FIFA 14, the pay wall is pretty straightforward. You can either play the three game modes for free or pay $4.99 to unlock Tournaments, Manager Mode, and Kick Off, the single-game exhibition mode. FIFA 13 (last year's version) is currently $6.99, so I definitely recommend paying the $4.99 for the full experience of FIFA 14. There is one catch, however. While the app is iOS universal, you'll need to spend $4.99 for each of your devices. So if you pay to unlock the game modes on your iPad, you'll still need to pay again to unlock them on your iPhone, which is pretty annoying.
The best soccer on iOS
What you get for your cash is an excellent "football" game. FIFA 14, like its predecessor, has beautiful graphics with high frame rates, crowds that cheer you on with chants and soccer songs, and excellent animations and physics as you work your way to the goal. It's also got tons of customization, letting you tweak the controls, change camera views, and adjust just about every setting within the game itself. Play long or short matches, toggle offsides calls and injuries, and choose from five difficulty levels.

Celebrating Hispanic Heritage
September 15 to October 15 is National Hispanic Heritage Month
9/17/2014, 1:37 p.m.
By TFK Staff
From mid-September through mid-October, America recognizes the contributions, culture, and heritage of Hispanic Americans.
The month-long celebration began on September 15, the anniversary of independence for five Hispanic countries: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. Mexico achieved independence on September 16 while Chile gained independence on September 18.
Honoring 'The Day of the Race'
The celebration extends into October to mark "El Dia de la Raza," or "The Day of the Race" on October 12. "El Dia de la Raza" is observed throughout most of Mexico and Latin America. The day celebrates the many nationalities—a people having a common beginning, tradition, or language—that are present in the history of Mexico, Central America, and South America. These nationalities include Native Americans such as the Mayas, Aztecs and Incas; and European nationalities such as Spanish, Portuguese, and French.
Hispanic Heritage History
Hispanic Heritage Month actually began as National Hispanic Heritage Week to honor the independence of Hispanic countries from September 15-18. In 1974, then President Gerald R. Ford proclaimed the week beginning September 10, 1974, and ending September 16, 1974, as National Hispanic Heritage Week. In 1989, it became a month-long celebration which we now honor every year.
Hispanic people were among the earliest European settlers in the New World, what is today the United States. Hispanic Americans have roots in Europe, Africa, and South and Central America and close cultural ties to Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America, South America, and Spain.
Today, the Hispanic or Latino population in the U.S. is estimated at 50.5 million people. According to the U.S. Census (a study that tracks population growth), the country's Hispanic population grew by 43 percent from 2000 to 2010, making it the largest and the fastest growing minority group in the country.
Famous Hispanic Americans
From sports to government to entertainment and science, Hispanic Americans have played important roles in America's history, its values, and culture. They include Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, baseball star Alex Rodriguez, actors George Lopez, journalist Geraldo Rivera, actresses America Ferrera and Selena Gomez, astronauts Michael Lopez-Alegria and Ellen Ochoa and authors Isabel Allende and Julia Alvarez. As of 2002, more than 63,000 people were on active duty in the Armed Forces according to the U.S. Census.

Hi – my name is Gary and I hate socks… (Feel like I'm at a 12-step meeting). I wear my sandals and flip-flops a lot – daily from April through mid October.
When I first moved to Idaho 12 years ago I bought some cheep knock-off sandals and had to replace them every year. Three years ago I pulled the trigger and made the jump to Chaco Z1 sandal. I've been wearing those same sandals since. These things are bomber. The Vibram soles show hardly any wear and the foot bed is still in great shape , as are the straps. And I'm usually wearing these things in rough terrain.
So to add to my Chaco collection this year I got a pair of Flip-Vibe flip-flops. These are light and comfortable. They have the same quality feel as my Chaco sandals and I'm sure I'll be getting years of use out of them as I am my Z1s.
So if your looking for great footwear that will work for town or out on the river check out the Chaco line-up at http://www.chacos.com/US/en or athttps://www.facebook.com/Chacousa
See you out there!

Garden SofasContemporary Garden Sofas | Modern Patio Sofas | Outdoor Seating
Garden Sofas
Italians are very fond of spending time in the outdoor, perhaps lingering in the garden and spending time with the family. Garden sofas can not seem like an essential piece of furniture that everyone should have in their garden, but it is also a very good place to just have some me time, relax while reading a book or just enjoying the nature and the weather. It is also very useful for all those families who like to spend some time in the garden together. Also, these families could have guests every now and then, so it is always good to keep some extra seats. A garden sofa is also a nice, ironic way to have come seats in your garden and it also gives it a great style and spirit.
The first we want to present you is called Olive by Scab Design. It was designed by Luisa Battaglia, a very talented Italian designer. It is stackable and can be used both indoor and outdoor. It is 100% recyclable, so the eco-friendly materials make it also a very high-quality product. We love it because it would give a touch of warmth and style to your garden. It is a simple piece, but we are very convinced that products which are going to be used in the garden need to be simple and not too elaborate, also because they can be easy to deteriorate or get dirty. The case of this beautiful sofa is perfect because it is easily washable, simple and comfortable. We love the white colour, but if you feel like white is a bit too "cold" to keep in your garden, then maybe you may want to go for another one of the available colours, which are anthracite grey, lino, bronze.
We also do like the modern, recyclable plastic sofa Lona by Scab Design, which has a very ironical shape and colour. It is suitable for outdoor and indoor use, it's stackable and completely made of polypropylene. It is very stable and resistant and it's available in different colours, such as dove grey, red, lino, light grey, orange, anthracite grey. The moments you spend at home with your family are very important. The ones in your garden make you appreciate your relationship with nature and indoors, which is very important, especially in a society where we spend a lot of time at work, closed up in our offices. The time we spend in our garden is amazingly valuable and My Italian Living would like it to be perfect for our customers, so our priority is to sell high-quality, eco-friendly products that would make the outdoor experience so much better for you and your family. Kids should learn early to associate outdoor with positive moments, so if there is any way you can help them do it, then maybe having a comfortable, bright and warm garden space is the best choice.
We are sure that our sofa will be durable, reliable and functional, especially if you have a big family or if you like to have guests for garden parties. If there is any other way we can help you, anyway, please let us know and we will try to do our best.

Grant Death a 'Tragic Error,' BART Lawyers Tells Court
An attorney for BART said in a legal filing today that the shooting death of Oscar Grant at the hands of BART police Officer Johannes Mehserle in Oakland on New Year's Day was "a tragic error" and Grant's own actions contributed to the tragedy.
Responding to a $50 million lawsuit filed against BART by attorney John Burris on March 2 on behalf of Grant's family in the wake of the man's death at the Fruitvale BART station, BART attorney Dale Allen said the transit agency admits Grant was shot in the back but denies the officers were unprovoked when they tried to detain Grant.
In a phone interview, Allen said witness accounts indicate that Grant, a 22-year-old Hayward man who had a criminal record, was involved in a fight on a BART train that caused the transit agency to send Mehserle and other officers to the Fruitvale station to quell the disturbance.
Allen said officers were justified in pulling Grant from the train because witnesses had identified him as being involved in the fight and he also believes officers were justified in using force to detain Grant because he was resisting arrest.
"There was a reason for officers to use force, but the amount of force is in question," Allen said.
Allen said there was no reason for Mehserle to shoot Grant, but he said the officer "made a terrible mistake" in firing his gun instead of a Taser in his effort to subdue Grant.
Allen said more than six witnesses have said that after Mehserle shot Grant there was "surprise on Mehserle's face," indicating they think the officer didn't mean to shoot Grant.
Allen said he's hoping that the lawsuit can go to mediation so it can be resolved before it goes to trial.
Burris said there have been conversations about mediation but nothing has been determined.
Burris hasn't reviewed Allen's answer, but he said he firmly believes Grant's civil rights were violated in the incident.
Mehserle, 27, resigned from the BART police force the week after the incident and has been charged with murder. He will have a preliminary examination May 18.

Matthias Schneck-O3ject Awareness and Advertising Campaign
At Design Interviews
Interview with Matthias Schneck : Frank Scott: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?. Matthias Schneck : It's all about giving a tap-proof space an aesthetic and desirable appearance. .Frank Scott: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?. Matthias Schneck : Our goal was to raise public awareness about how we deal with privat space and personal information in the Digital Age. In other words – taking responsibility by being another drop in the bucket. .Frank Scott: What are your future plans for this award winning design?. Matthias Schneck : Be exited. .Frank Scott: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?. Matthias Schneck : I started the project in 2013 as a reaction to some revealing events in our society (and politics). A previous version of the physical object has been exhibited at "Dortmunder U" in 2014. The project continued in August 2015 with the design of the chromatic cube. Graphic designer Laura Born got involved, and we started the visualization of the campaign in December 2015, followed by an exhibition at the NRW FORUM Düsseldorf in February 2016. To be continued. .Frank Scott: Where there any other designs and/or designers that helped the influence the design of your work?. Matthias Schneck : Generally, the research for our visual concept could be seen as a rhizomatic task to unite history and the contemporary, both philosophically and visually. But I also would like to emphasize the influence of Suprematism as well as artists of the Fluxus movement and a comprehensive awareness of a new media aesthetic. .Frank Scott: Who is the target customer for his design?. Matthias Schneck : Generally, everyone! But there are several occupational groups who are responsible for preserving independency in our society. So in some way it is dedicated to journalists, public workers, activists and politicians as kind of a beautiful reminder for their private home. .Frank Scott: How did you come up with the name for this design? What does it mean?. Matthias Schneck : The name O3JECT refers to the objectification of human privacy. The figure 3 is a reference to the hacker community, even if it's not actually used this way. They use the 3 for the character E, which I do understand but not accept at all… .Frank Scott: Which design tools did you use when you were working on this project?. Matthias Schneck : The origination process was shaped by a symbiosis between analogue and digital tools and methods, correlating with the transcription of our three-dimensional reality into a two-dimensional, virtual world. .Frank Scott: Who did you collaborate with for this design? Did you work with people with technical / specialized skills?. Matthias Schneck : Graphic designer Laura Born and music composer Benjamin Krause supported me in their fields of expertise and sometimes even beyond. .Frank Scott: What is the role of technology in this particular design?. Matthias Schneck : Every new wave of innovation brings new opportunities and raises questions about human ethics and how we design our society. It is a process we particularly like to participate in. .Frank Scott: Is your design influenced by data or analytical research in any way? What kind of research did you conduct for making this design?. Matthias Schneck : Yes. .Frank Scott: What are some of the challenges you faced during the design/realization of your concept?. Matthias Schneck : Frankly speaking, financial limitations have been a concern but I guess this affects most independent projects. But we like to look at it as a challenge which often leads to new inventions. .Frank Scott: How did you decide to submit your design to an international design competition?. Matthias Schneck : We were invited. .

Aotearoa New Zealand: Sweet As!
Eighteen students, thirty-thousand sheep, two Kiwis, twelve days, and one incredible experience in Aotearoa New Zealand.
These numbers only begin to describe the study abroad I recently participated in. This trip was organized for more than two years by two Kiwis: Dr. Ross Stewart, SBGE Dean and Professor of Accounting, and Dr. Daniel Schofield, Professor of Chemistry.
After Fall Quarter finals, eighteen students studied abroad in Aotearoa New Zealand. We focused on aspects of environmental and cultural sustainability from both accounting and chemistry perspectives.

Conceptual design for new stadium completed | Business
ATLANTA (WXIA) - Tuesday afternoon, the Atlanta Falcons officially announced the completion of a conceptual design for the new Atlanta stadium, and said they plan to move immediately into the schematic design phase of the project.
The Georgia World Congress Center Board of governors has granted approval to the conceptual design, which was required by the memorandum of understanding.
The schematic design phase of the project will further develop the design concept of the stadium.

MORE | Continuing coverage of new Falcons stadium
"The conceptual design phase of the new stadium project has been a dynamic, interactive and collaborative process," said Falcons President & CEO Rich McKay. "Our discussions and decisions have focused on creating an iconic asset for the city and state, a great game day experience for our fans and attendees of other events that will be held in the new stadium, and a connection with the surrounding communities. We look forward to moving into the more detailed design phase with our great partners at 360 Architecture and their recently-selected joint venture partners."
Three local architectural firms have been chosen to work with lead architect 360 Architecture on the project. The three firms - Goode Van Slyke Architecture (GVSA), Stanley Beaman & Sears, and tvsdesign - will contribute to the design of the stadium in a number of areas.
The Falcons also introduced its team of general contractors on the project, led by Atlanta-based Holder Construction Company. Holder is managing partner of a joint venture formed as part of the bid process, which includes Hunt Construction Group, H.J. Russell & Company and C.D. Moody Construction Company.
Holder, Hunt and Moody have worked together for the past nine years on one of the largest commercial projects in Atlanta - the new International Terminal at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
"We are very excited for the opportunity to work with the Atlanta Falcons and their partners, the City of Atlanta and the State of Georgia, on the construction of this iconic state-of-the-art sporting and entertainment venue," said Tommy Holder, CEO of Holder. "We look forward to working with Atlanta's local, minority and women contractors to deliver this landmark facility. This project represents a great opportunity to move our city and state forward with thousands of new construction jobs."
Construction of the new stadium is expected to begin in early 2014, with completion expected by early 2017.

Valparaiso University director of athletics Mark LaBarbera announced today that Brian Schmack has been named the 17th head coach in Crusader baseball history and just the sixth since 1946.
"We are very excited to have Brian Schmack leading our baseball program," said LaBarbera. "Over the past couple of years, we have added another chapter of championship play to Valpo's baseball tradition. This has been the result of hard work by many people, including Brian. Coach Schmack's baseball knowledge, ability to recruit, to teach, and to develop young men both on and off the field make him the right person to be our head coach."
Schmack has spent the last seven seasons as Valpo's pitching coach, helping the Crusaders to back-to-back Horizon League championships in each of the last two years. Prior to the 2011 season, Schmack was promoted to associate head coach. He also brings 10 seasons of professional playing experience to the position.
"I'd like to thank Mark LaBarbera and (vice president) Michael Joseph for giving me the opportunity here at Valparaiso," said Schmack. "I'm honored to be able to lead these guys and this program - it feels awesome and it's been a goal of mine for a long time. Our goal as a program is going to be to always win the Horizon League. Having success in regionals also is going to be a goal. Having played in the Horizon League championship game three years ago, then getting to a regional and then getting a win in a regional, we'd like to keep taking steps forward."
Over his seven seasons with the Crusaders as pitching coach/associate head coach, Schmack helped the Valpo baseball program to 187 victories, including the Horizon League regular season title in 2012 and the Horizon League tournament championship in 2012 and 2013. The Crusaders advanced to the NCAA Division I Tournament each of the last two years after a 44-year draught, and defeated Florida in the 2013 NCAA Tournament, the program's first tournament win since 1966.
Schmack shaped the Valpo pitching staff into one of the best in the Horizon League, molding a staff with an ERA of 5.73 in the year before his arrival into one which has led the league in ERA each of the last three seasons, posting marks below 4.00 all three years. The Crusaders' pitchers have also ranked among the top-10 nationally in fewest walks per seven innings each of the last two seasons.
Over Schmack's seven years at Valpo, six Crusader pitchers have earned All-League recognition, including two Pitcher of the Year and one Relief Pitcher of the Year honorees. In addition, five pitchers have been selected All-Newcomer Team recipients and five pitchers have represented Valpo on the league's All-Tournament Team.
Schmack has coached three of the eight winningest pitchers in program history, as well as two of the top five in Crusader history in career strikeouts and two of the top four in saves. Under his tutelage, Tyler Deetjen won eight games in 2012, the most by a Valpo pitcher in 25 years. Bryce Shafer tallied 121 strikeouts in 2010, second-most in program history and most by a Crusader in the last 40 years, while Jarad Miller set new Valpo and Horizon League records with 17 saves in 2009. In addition, six pitchers coached by Schmack have gone on to play professional baseball, including a pair - Shafer and Dallas Cawiezell - who were chosen in the MLB Draft.
Schmack pitched in professional baseball from 1995-2004 in the Chicago White Sox, Texas Rangers, and Detroit Tigers organizations after breaking in with the Newark Bison of the Frontier League. In 2003, Schmack earned a promotion to the major leagues with the Tigers, appearing in 11 games and posting a 1-0 record with a 3.46 ERA. He earned his first major league victory against Cleveland on September 2, 2003.
At Erie, Schmack was named to TOPPS' AA all-star squad in 2003, leading the Eastern League with 29 saves. In 2000, he tied for third in the International League (AAA) with 11 victories for Charlotte.
Schmack pitched collegiately at Northern Illinois University from 1992-1995. He earned his bachelor's degree in sports management from Valparaiso University in 2009. He and his wife, Cari, have three children, Kyle born in 2001, and twins Ella and Riley born in 2004.
What they're saying about Brian Schmack
"Having Brian on my staff for the last seven years, I've seen one of the better pitching coaches that I've ever been around. I think his move to being the head coach will be an easy transition. His knowledge of the game and his passion for the game will do him well as a head coach." - Tracy Woodson, former Valparaiso head coach and current Richmond head coach
"I think Brian is an outstanding hire for Valparaiso University baseball. First off, Brian is a quality individual, a quality family man. Couple that with his baseball knowledge, and I think Valparaiso baseball will be in great hands. He's been there seven years, and in that time no doubt has been a huge factor in the rise in the program. The continuity the program will have with Brian being named head coach is going to be good for everybody." - Ed Mathey, Northern Illinois head coach
"Brian played for me at Northern Illinois - he always overachieved as a player and picked right up on it as a coach. Pitching's a big part of the game, and Brian has done an great job coaching some outstanding pitching staffs in his time at Valparaiso. He's also just a tremendous guy - a good person who truly cares about his players and does things the right way. Valpo did well to hire Brian as its new head coach." - Spanky McFarland, former Northern Illinois head coach and current James Madison head coach

Seal installation, general industrial applications
To provide effective sealing, radial shaft seals must be installed properly. An experienced installer with suitable tools, working in a clean environment, is recommended to provide proper installation. The shaft counterface surface and housing bore should meet the demands specified in the sections Shaft requirements and Housing bore requirements.
To facilitate seal installation and to achieve initial lubrication, prior to installation, SKF recommends wiping the shaft and seal with the lubricant that is going to be retained. While the outside diameter of metal-cased seals can be lightly lubricated to ease installation, the outside diameter of rubber covered seals should always be lubricated.
Seals with an auxiliary, contacting lip can also be filled with grease between the sealing lip and auxiliary lip to reduce frictional moment. This does not apply to silicone rubber seals and seals with hydrodynamic features, other than SKF WAVE lip designs.
SKF also recommends using a hydraulic press, with suitable tools, to install a seal in its housing bore. Pressure should be applied as close as possible to the outside diameter of the seal.
Seals that are designed to sit flush with the wall of the housing bore must be installed perpendicular to the housing bore axis. The outside diameter of the tool should be larger than the housing bore diameter (fig 1).
When installing seals on stepped shafts, where the shoulders do not have the recommended chamfer or rounded transition, an installation sleeve (fig 4) must be used.
If the sealing lip has to pass over grooves, threads or gearing, thin-walled installation sleeves (fig 5) can be used to prevent the lip from being damaged. The outside surface of the sleeve should be coated with the same lubricant that is used to lubricate the seal and counterface surface.
Radial shaft seals made of silicone rubber should always be installed using an installation sleeve.

Christ Is Risen!
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
The new forum is not about Eastern Catholicism at all; instead, it is about Roman Catholics forcing Eastern Catholics to accept Latinized theology.
Perhaps you should strive for consistency and refrain from asking such questions... On the Byzantine forum, in relation to this matter, you said:Source: Link Disabled.
I made a PDF print of paradoxy's posting at CAF and will gladly share it with anyone who wants a copy.
The article on the reasons why members are banned has been copied into the thread above by Catherine Grant. All that I can add to it is this:CAF does not discuss with third parties the cases of individual members out of respect for their privacy. If they wish to make known their case, that is their privilege; we only ask that you keep in mind that there are two sides to every story. Because we choose not to violate privacy, all you likely will hear in such instances is what the member chooses to make public, which likely will be only pieces of the story and only those pieces that reflect well on the individual.When banning individuals, CAF has a choice: We can give a banned member a tag that makes public that he has been banned; or we can ban him privately so that a public stir is not created and so that he can retain the dignity of appearing to have stopped participating of his own volition. With members of longstanding, CAF staff often choose the latter option. The downside to this is that the member can then make it appear that CAF is engaged in covert behavior against him, but we feel that the positives often outweigh the negative.If you have any questions or concerns about specific mod/admin actions, we ask you to please contact a mod privately by PM or write to the administration staff at firstname.lastname@example.com. Although we cannot discuss individual cases with you, we would be happy to explain general protocol.
The administration will respond to your concerns today. Please do not post any new threads on this topic.
The reason a few links were disabled in posts above was because there is a general policy against linking to other web forums. The reason for this was to keep people from plugging other competing forums which used to happen here a lot. Reading over the threads above, some of these links were clearly for reference purposes and not to advertise. We are sorry if your reference was removed hastily but please do limit posting links to other forums. We also don't want to be a place where people feel free to trash other forums, although we understand the current need of the members from CAF to vent.
So, Father Ambrose and others, 'fess up: what have you really done to deserve the ban?
Understood. Sorry, we're new and obviously didn't bother to study those forum rules. .Obviously, the only reason we're 'trashing' the other forum here, 'behind their backs', is that we're not physically permitted to discuss this there openly and honestly. I'm clarifying this because I generally feel horrible about talking badly about someone behind their backs (but they turned their backs to us, so it's not like we enjoy gossiping just for the heck of it...) Whatever...
Father Ambrose ....... many times went beyond simple information exchange to the realms that emotions often take us.
*Dear Athanasios,I would not agree that that was a characteristic of my posting style. My emotions are usually under control. Of course I made curt comments about people who persisted in pretending to know more about Orthodoxy than they do, such as a renowned apologist who maintains that "final theosis" is the Orthodox equivalent of purgatory.
Father Ambrose ... many times went beyond simple information exchange...
. . . what do you mean "final theosis" is NOT the Orthodox equivalent of Purgatory.
Theosis is a never ending process, i.e., it is an eternal stretching (epektasis) into God
Fr. Ambrose, in solidarity with you I am cancelling my CAF account with this public notice that expresses my sentiments:Following what is now a discernibly concerted effort to muster up any excuse possible to purge this Forum of the most educated yet charitable and benevolent Orthodox Catholic critics of Roman Catholicism - the latest incident being the banning of Fr. Ambrose - deemed as "thorns in the side" of administrators who are keen on leaving as little trace as possible of their shamefully repressive actions, I am canceling my account as a mark of protest, no longer willing to associate with an entity showing itself to be hostile to the principles of free and open discussion to which both Roman Catholic and Orthodox Churches are committed in their ecumenical endeavours for rapprochement. It is difficult to comprehend the motives behind the most recent addition to the growing list of banned Orthodox participants, however all of us know that Fr. Ambrose never showed the least sign of unruliness, always adhered to forum rules and engaged his critics with charity and honesty. It is no coincidence, I believe, that a change in direction to reflect the more pervasive authoritarian nature of the Roman Catholic lay internet apologetics movement necessitated the departure of the esteemed former moderator of the now defunct Eastern Christianity forum, under whom vigorous dialogue and civil criticism was always tolerated, in order that these severe actions could be exercised. "Catholic Answers", in addition to presenting misleading, incorrect and unhistorical information on the Orthodox Church and Church History in their tracts, cannot be considered a helpful agent in this process of dialogue and rapprochement.
I think some people at CAF are in denial.
Kind of like those who deny the Holocaust?
Come now! Surely you are not suggesting that this is exactly like the Nazis who got rid of people and then attempted to destroy any evidence of their crime? Well, surprise surprise! CAF has taken down Papa Gregorio's post as well.Here are some snapshots for old time's sake:
Wait, I was just reading Papa Gregorio's post a few hours ago!
EDIT: to be fair, they now do give a reason - 'publicly discussing moderator actions'
I haven't read any posts from brother bogoljub over there for about a day or two ..i wonder did they .........stashko

The downside to this is that the member can then make it appear that CAF is engaged in covert behavior against him, but we feel that the positives often outweigh the negative.
*In order that I resist the temptation to "make it appear that CAF is engaged in covert behavior against him" would someone please inform the CAF staf that I wish to have "Banned" under my name.CAF is simply playing dishonest games with me and the others (about 11 members) who have been secretly banned. I have been alarmed to see posts which imply that maybe we are not banned at all and are just trying to make CAF look bad. To protect herself and to allow the blame to fall on those who are banned Catherine Grant is dishonestly concealing our true status.So, if anyone is in touch with CAF staff please tell them that that I encourage them to have the courage of publicly sharing their decision to ban us forever and that we desire to see the word Banned shown under our names. Let CAF stop being deceptive, stop issuing vacuous statements of self-justification and let them tell the truth. Is that too much to ask?
Father Ambrose ; Were are our names,,i don't see them anywhere ,,, where does one look for them .... stashko
Did they what? Make him disappear? Soon his posts will be sleepin' with the fishes...
Not a big deal. Yet, for the sake of facts, I never requested my account to be suspended.That's how ecumenical talks with some RC end.
Our names and status are shown at the top left of our messages, and in our Profiles.
I think youneed glasses"]"I just checked the Member List and I show he is not banned as you say he was.
How does one access his profile if you can't log in stashko
Father Ambrose, is 'athair ambrois' secretly banned too? Just a thought. Perhaps you could tell them 'in person' you'd like to be openly banned.
You do all realize, of course - and they must realize it as well - that we could all easily re-register under new names every time we get banned and post the truth about what happened every hour or so.
Just attempted to sign in as athair ambrois and this is what happened......____________________________Your account has been locked for the following reason:No reason was specified.This change will be lifted: Never____________________________
You do all realize, of course - and they must realize it as well - that we could all easily re-register under new names every time we get banned and post the truth about what happened every hour or so.

I love apples! Seriously. Love them almost more than chocolate. Biting into a warm, crisp, just picked apple is only one step away from doing the same in summer with tomatoes.
Living in Michigan, where apple production ranks number three in the States, the harvest of this fruit peaks in late September through early October. There are so many apples to choose from that I have a great time every week at the farm markets buying a mixed bag of a dozen.
Apples are wonderful to teach the youngest of children about our faith. When you cut an apple in half along the equatorial plane, the cross section in the core looks like a star; the five-pointed Epiphany Star. Most of you will remember from the teachings of the Church that the Epiphany is a celebration of the manifestation of the Incarnation of Jesus, the Christ. The five seeds inside the five-pointed star stand for the five wounds of Christ. Other stars in our traditions are the four-point star, often used in art as the star over the place where the child Jesus was born and called the Bethlehem or Natal Star. The eight-pointed star is known as the Star of Redemption, while the six-pointed star, two triangles interlocked is called the Star of David.
A second apple story used to teach about the Trinity is cut an apple in half from top to bottom and note the three parts: skin, meat and seeds. The outer skin represents the Father who encompasses all, Jesus is the meat of the fruit that feeds us, and the seeds are the Holy Spirit that when planted, will bring new life. An apple wouldn't be an apple if any one of these elements was missing; so, too, with the Trinity.
Now, since you're cutting up all those apples for educational purposes, how about a recipe! This is a savory and sweet soup more for the adult pallet; cut the spices by half for kids.
Apple-Parsnip Soup
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup chopped sweet onion (Vidalia is best)
2 1/2 cups (about a pound) chopped peeled Pink Lady apples (or any slightly tart apple is fine—Granny Smiths are too sour!)
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 1/2 teaspoons grated peeled fresh ginger or 1/2 teaspoon dry
3/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
3 1/2 cups (about 1 1/2 pounds) chopped peeled parsnip
1 clove garlic finely chopped
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup apple cider (don't use apple juice)
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Sour cream dollops when serving
In a stock pot, sauté onions in oil until tender. Add apples, curry, ginger, and cardamom. Simmer for about a minute to dissolve spices, stirring constantly. Add broth, parsnips, garlic, and cider. Cover and simmer for about 30 minutes or until parsnips are tender. CAREFULLY blend soup until smooth using a blender (or immersion blender). Serve with sour cream.
A side note here…I like to use oven roasted parsnips. They tend to be sweeter and lend a fuller flavor to the soup. Of course, your stove-top cooking time will be reduced.
Tony Esolen, our newest family member at the Catholic hub on Patheos.com, shared with me a small bit of information about the word, apple. The Old English word "aeppel" did not mean "apple" but "fruit" in general, excluding berries. So the early translations of the Bible into English that use "apple" are not really specifying the type of fruit it was. Not until the 17th century did the word apple come to mean only the pome and not all the other fruits. Our word "fruit" comes from the French, after the Norman Conquest (cf. Latin fructus). The word "fruit" in Hebrew is p'ri, and is used as "be fruitful and multiply."
Thanks Tony!

1 killed in weather-related crash in Westminster
Boy, 18-year-old also injured in 2-vehicle crash
A woman was killed and two people, including a child, were injured in a head-on car crash in bad weather in Carroll County on Monday evening, sheriff's deputies said.
Investigators said the two-car crash happened in the 2300 block of Uniontown Road in Westminster at about 6:45 p.m. Monday.
Jill Bowers, 45, of Westminster, died in the crash. A boy in her car suffered serious injuries that were not considered to be life-threatening, police said.
The other driver, Kendyl Puckett, 18, of Uniontown, was also seriously injured in the crash but is expected to survive.
Investigators said they believe Puckett's vehicle left the roadway for some reason, and she then overcorrected, causing her vehicle to cross the center line and hit Bowers head-on.
Deputies said weather was a factor in the crash, but they're still investigating. Charges are pending.

Don't worry, Bobby -- maybe Whitney will make a conjugal visit or two.
Cops in Norfolk, Mass. have ordered the arrest of singer Bobby Brown after he again failed to make his child-support payments, the Boston Herald reported.
The "My Prerogative" artist owes about $45,000, or nine months of support, in back payments and failed to appear at a June hearing to answer a complaint, according to the Herald. Brown pays out the cash to ex-girlfriend Kim Ward, the mother of his son, Bobby Jr., and daughter Laprincia.
U.S. & World
Brown has five children, one with Houston, his ex-wife.
The Grammy winner landed behind bars in 2007 after he skipped out on the child support for the first time, accruing a debt of just over $27,000.
His lawyer didn't answer calls for comment.

Mr. Speaker, certainly there were quite a few questions in there. I will hit them one after another.
First, contrary to what my hon. friend said, the export tax did work. In 1992 the Conservative government of the day put forth an $8 export tax on tobacco. Within six weeks smuggling decreased 70 per cent. What did the government do in response to pressure from the tobacco companies? It put its tail between its legs and removed the tax. The tax did work.
Second, this government earmarked $64 million for education. Less than 10 per cent has actually been spent on tobacco education. Where the other $54 million went only the government knows. Most likely it went into the general revenues. What is certain is that it did not go to where it was supposed to go; again another broken promise by this government, compromising the health and welfare of Canadian children.

Thomas Reiner (b. 1926) is a German voice actor who has been heard in several Muppet dubs, notably taking over as Statler in the most recent productions.
Reiner has had a long on-camera career, including guest roles on the long-running German TV series Tatort, Derrick, and Der Alte. In Mario Bava's 1964 horror thriller Blood and Black Lace, Reiner played Inspector Sylvester (dubbed in the English version by Paul Frees).
As a voice actor in his own right, Reiner has lent his slightly nasal, authoritative tones to Vincent Price in three films, Geoffrey Bayldon in Casino Royale, Paul Benedict in The Addams Family, Peter Sellers in The Magic Christian, Harry Secombe in Oliver!, and Wylie Watson as Mr. Memory in The 39 Steps.
TV dub roles include Hayden Rorke as Dr. Bellows on I Dream of Jeannie, Philip Jackson on Robin of Sherwood, and guest stars on The Incredible Hulk. In animation, Reiner voiced the donkey in the 1969 German animated satire Die Konferenz der Tiere, as well as dubbing Duke Igthorn on Disney's Adventures of the Gummi Bears, Grimsby in Disney's The Little Mermaid, Professor Farnsworth on Futurama, J. Jonah Jameson on the 1980s Spider-Man, and a variety of roles in the Asterix films (including stuffy Britishers, Julius Caesar, and Getafix the druid).

The weather characterized the Mets' series with the Rays.
On a generally clear, Friday evening, Mets pummeled the Ray 5-3. Pitcher Fernando Nieve once again showed why he belongs in the majors, shutting down Tampa Bay to only one run on three hits.
By Saturday and Sunday, rain clouds made their stop at Citi Field.
Even after the resurgence of Johan Santana, redeeming himself from his last disatrous performance, wasn't enough to stop Tampa's offense. Mets' offense on the other hand, did their dissapearing act again... Mets lose 3-1.
With Mike Pelfrey on the mound, their offense was the least of their problems. Pelfrey allowed four runs and gave no shot for a Mets victory yesterday.
Overall same problems exist for the Mets, and continue the win one, lose two trend.
Regardless of the Mets' performance the past few weeks, winning 4 out of their last 12 games, they are only 2 games behind the Phillies for the NL EAST lead and 2 1/2 games back for a Wild Card spot.
Carlos Beltran is the new guy on the Mets' Disabled list thanks to his ailing knee.
Mets' next opponents don't get any easier. Pitcher Tim Redding will try to get his first win of the season against the "Machine", Albert Pujols and the Cardinals on ESPN at 7.

ROCHESTER, Minn. (AP) — It was a tall order to fill, but the tallest man in the United States now has his own custom-made tennis shoes.
Igor Vovkovinskiy stands just over 7 feet, 8 inches tall. He's long struggled to find shoes for his size 24, 10E feet.
But the 30-year-old Minnesota man received three custom-made pairs Thursday from Reebok that took five months to make. As he tried on a pair, he said it felt as if he were "walking on pillows or mattresses."
For as long as he can remember, he's had one pair of shoes. He says he's had 16 foot surgeries in six years because of damage caused by ill-fitting shoes.
The Post-Bulletin reports that Vovkovinskiy knew who he'd tell first about his new shoes, saying: "My mom."

PHOTOPHILE- Nail polish: Women cut, saw, and pound
Peter, Paul, and Mary might have approved of the activities over on Rock Creek Road Saturday, September 16, even though the approximately 25 women who were there working weren't actually singing "If I Had a Hammer." The participants in the joint Wachovia Bank/Habitat for Humanity "Women Build" project didn't need to wish– they all actually did have hammers.
Julie Shuren, Habitat for Humanity's staff liaison for the project, says the group has been participating in such projects since 2001, building a new house every year in partnership with a sponsor. About half of Saturday's workers were from Wachovia.
Beginning with coffee and bagels at 8:45am and continuing almost non-stop until 4pm, the women measured, sawed, hammered, and hoisted lumber in their quest to build a house for single mother Brandy Lacey and her two children. While the women's experience ranged from beginner to advanced, everyone pitched in with enthusiasm. Lacey, who will spend two hundred hours working on the house as part of the project, expressed her gratitude for the group's efforts.
Habitat needs volunteers to continue to work on the house, which the group is trying to finish by the end of the year. Interested volunteers can email firstname.lastname@example.com or call the Habitat office at 293-9066.

The United Nations climate change body said it has made concrete progress towards a new universal agreement on climate change during its latest round of talks which wrapped up this week in Germany.
"This has been an important meeting because Governments are moving faster now from the stage of exploring options to designing and implementing solutions," said Christiana Figueres, Executive Secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
During the two-week talks in Bonn, participants focused on how to transform the world's energy systems quickly enough towards low-carbon, including renewable energy, energy efficiency and the consideration of carbon capture and storage.
With the longer-term goal of a universal UN treaty on climate change by 2015 which would enter force by 2020, this latest round of talks pave the way for ministerial-level UN Climate Change Conference (COP-19) in Warsaw, Poland, starting on 12 November.
"Over the past 12 months, solid foundations have been laid under the process both toward the 2015 agreement and in raising pre-2020 ambition," the co-chairs of a working group tasked to design a new agreement and to raise near-term global ambition to deal with climate change, Jayant Moreshver Mauskar and Harald Dovland said in a joint statement.
"As a result of the constructive and flexible engagement amongst Governments, nations now have a clearer idea of how to move to achieve demonstrable progress at the upcoming UN Climate Change Conference in Poland and beyond," they said.
In Bonn, Governments also examined key elements for such a shift, including reducing investment risk for investors, public-private partnerships, a long-term, legally binding agreement and strong domestic institutions to deal effectively with finance in countries which receive support.

In response to a comment yesterday, I wrote:
… when you have art that is created, not out of interpretation of real events, but based on how an artist imagines an historical person may have reacted in an unreal or imagined scenario, then you have an "imagined presentation." Is it, at that point really historical art, or over the top in speculation? The fact of the matter is that some of those who view the art may well see it as something depicting a real event (and thus, like it or not, this is "imagined memory"). This has implications on down the road; both in the way that the "beholders" interpret the art and the way that they [again, the "beholders"] convey meaning in what they relate to others about the particular historical character in the imagined art and about "imagined events."
My focus was on historical personalities…real people…in imagined scenes. I wasn't even thinking of how fictional characters portrayed in art might influence minds in an equally powerful way. Actually, it's funny, but for some reason I was thinking about Uncle Tom's Cabin and the stereotypes that it generated in the minds of readers. No, it isn't wall art (though the many covers created for the book over time might be considered works of art), but for some reason the book just came to mind. Then, this evening, while I was looking online for some early Civil War artwork (in preparation for another post), I found a book ("Uncle Tom's Cabin" as Visual Culture, by Jo-Ann Morgan) that focuses specifically on stereotypes generated as a result of the book and how the subsequent fall-out in art (among other things) was nearly as significant as the book. The description follows:
By personalizing the experiences of American slaves, Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin had a profound effect on public attitudes toward slavery on the eve of the Civil War, but Stowe's narrative was not the whole story. Jo-Ann Morgan now reveals how prints and paintings of Uncle Tom and other characters in the novel also shaped public perceptions and how this visual culture had its own impact on history.
Through illustrations in various editions of the book, advertisements for stage productions, paintings of favorite scenes, and even sheet music for Tom-inspired songs, Stowe's work took on a visual as well as a textual existence. Morgan explores the rich visual discourse generated by Uncle Tom's Cabin within the context of evolving social conditions and political events of nineteenth-century America to show how images associated with the text came to have lives of their own.
Although Uncle Tom is a recognized icon of American culture, this is the first book to concentrate on the visual discourse involving the character, interpreting a period of American sociocultural history that has been neglected by art historians. Morgan shows how these iconic images offered the country a means of both representing and reinventing its slave past. By examining illustrations by Hammatt Billings and George Cruikshank and the work of painters such as Winslow Homer, Eastman Johnson, Henry Ossawa Tanner, and Thomas Satterwhite Noble, she breaks down boundaries between high art and popular culture to demonstrate how these distinctions helped validate the views of elite producers of culture.
Morgan argues that the popularity of Uncle Tom's Cabin made it dangerous to prevailing attitudes and the institutional structures kept in place by them, as pictures joined words to challenge patriarchy. She shows how subsequent visual strategies were used to coax the subversive potential of Stowe's work back within accepted boundaries, as imaging of black people was involved in a cultural backlash against decades of abolition propaganda. Pictures of figures once read as sympathetic were redefined into an alternative propaganda to reinforce white supremacy and put limits on African Americans' access to citizenship after emancipation.
Despite the simultaneous existence of an urban-based, business-class clientele for paintings and a more popular audience for book illustrations, show posters, and sheet music, Morgan shows that representations of blacks tended to reinforce social hierarchies and protect established regimes. "Uncle Tom's Cabin" as Visual Culture is a compelling reexamination of an American icon—and a persuasive case study in how representations of African Americans change in response to social and political agendas.
Now, I just found this book online tonight, so apart from the description, I can't vouch for the content, but the argument appears to be sound. Since the artwork that sprang from a book reflected stereotypes, what stereotypes are formed (or have the potential for being formed) from "imagined memory" of the Civil War reflected in contemporary works of art?

Geek Up, It's Time for Deschutes' Reserve Series
Written by our in-house cellar dweller, Timperial Stout.
When it comes to big, specialty releases that make waves on a national level, the Northwest is painfully lacking. Washington state, more specifically, pretty much has none. We don't have a Dark Lord or a Black Tuesday or a Kate the Great or a Sexual Chocolate…
I can't think of a single time that I rushed out to the bottle shop for a WA release. I have rushed out to bars to catch WA beers while they were on draft, but that is such a fleeting pursuit. I want to be able to add a bottle to the cellar and age it and show it off and pretend that I'm cool that I have a crazy barrel-aged imperial stout that's 4 years old and nearly impossible to get. I have low self-esteem so if I don't have an impressive cellar I have nothing.
But seriously, why can't Washington brewers do this for me. I guess I do have that Black Raven wheat wine that they made for Malt and Vine's anniversary. Oh yeah, and those Pike Entires. Both are wax-dipped and shit, totally impressive. Well, whatever…I want more.
Our neighbors to the south are doing a little bit better than us on this front, but it's by no means a landslide. Hair of the Dog and Cascade bottles are pretty sweet trophies to show off. I've got a New Old Lompoc Oak Aged Dopplebock down in my cellar. Pretty cool huh? I know.
The ultimate bottled prizes in the PNW come from Deschutes in Bend, OR. I know you know what they are. I know you are jealous of my '07 Abyss. Your best bet to rival me in supremacy is to camp outside of your local bottle shop tonight, and every subsequent night until more bottle of The Dissident hit Western Washington (if we are so lucky). Then do the same thing in mid-December for The Abyss. Buy as many as they will allow, drink one of each on New Years and hide the rest in the deepest recesses of your cellar. In 15 years when your first-born turns twentyfun, make his/her first 'legal' beer be one of paramount class.
The following information is from the Deschutes Brewery website via Beernews.org:
The Dissident
Friday, November 19th
We are super excited to officially announce the release of The Dissident, our sour brown ale brewed with Washington cherries, that takes 18 plus months to reach near perfection. A limited amount of bottles will go on sale at both Brew Pubs and our Tasting Room on Friday, November 19th at 11 am. Fans will be able to pick up six bottles of this beloved brew at a time.
The Abyss
Wednesday, December 1st
The wait is finally over for the fifth release of The Abyss, our imperial stout brewed with molasses and licorice aged in bourbon and oak wine barrels. Join us at our Brew Pubs on December 1st as we tap the first kegs and make the 2010 bottles available for you to add to your collection.
…Also of note, here is information on those two beers and other upcoming releases as it was received this morning from a brewery representative…
The Dissident
When: End of November
What: Reserve Series (22-ounce wax-dipped bottles and draft)
Finally…. perfection. After nearly two years aging in isolation, the 2010 Dissident has reached its pinnacle. Deschutes Brewery's only wild yeast beer, brettanomyces and lactobacillus "critters" (a technical brewing term) create a distinctive Oud Bruin, Flanders-style sour brown ale, with a fruity aroma and flavor. To make things even more interesting, whole Central Washington cherries – pits, stems and all were also added to the mix. The result? A beer that's anything but conventional.
Where: Very limited available in most states where Deschutes is sold
Beer Geek Information:
10.5% Alcohol by Volume (ABV)
The Abyss
When: Mid-December
What: Reserve Series (22-ounce wax-dipped bottles and draft)
The Abyss has immeasurable depth inviting you to explore and discover its rich, complex profile. Hints of molasses, licorice and other alluring flavors draw you in further and further with each sip. And at 11% alcohol by volume, you will want to slowly savor each and every ounce.
2010 marks the fifth release of this dark and mysterious imperial stout rated the 4th best beer on planet earth by BeerAdvocate.com.
Where: Available in most states where Deschutes is sold
Beer Geek Information:

Welcome to the Scooter Capital of the World
Scooters in Taipei outside of the Main Station
Many people in the United States when they think of scooters, think about driving one in Key West or Hawaii along the beach and park and drink alcoholic beverages with umbrellas in them. That is the complete opposite thought of scooters over here in Taiwan. Scooters in Taiwan are a way of life. They provide transportation for individuals, families, and supplies. Just when I think I have seen it all over here something new pops up. I have seen 3 people on a 1 and 2 person scooter. I have seen infants as passengers, many elderly drivers, and workers transporting large gas canisters on the back of them. The other day when I thought there was a wreck in the middle of the street, it wasn't, it was a scooter who had too many cardboard boxes that fell off and made a mess in the intersection.
Scooters seem to always have the right of way when it comes to the road laws. There usually is a designated lane on the right of the road for scooters, but many of them weave in and out of traffic. From speaking with local players, they tell me that cars must give the right of way to all scooters and are liable for any accidents. Driving on these roads with the amount of scooters and cars can be pretty scary. Drivers will just pull out of side streets without looking and expect cars to stop or move out of the way. Scooters will drive on the other side of the road against on coming traffic to get to the traffic light quicker. The hardest part of owning a scooter is trying to find parking for it. There are designated spots for scooters, but with the amount of them here it becomes very tough to park "legally". If you make your "own" spot, you can be towed and they will mark on the street with chalk where your scooter was towed. Hopefully it doesn't rain and wash away the chalk or you will never find your scooter.
Luckily with all of the traffic and aggressive driving scooter drivers must wear helmets.
Big congratulations to Yo-Yo from the Lamigo Monkeys for winning the Homerun Derby during the All-Star game.
Our manager gave us Friday and Saturday off for the All Star break. Just got home from our Sunday workout with the minor league team. Day off tomorrow then practice Tuesday and games Thursday through Sunday. Come check us out. We will be in Taichung for most of the week.
Probably headed back into Taipei tomorrow. Yesterday I checked out the night market in Shilin off the MRT red line. The food there looked delicious and smelled amazing. The fruits were so colorful and fresh. I just need some help identifying what everything is. Also if you see me or one of the other imports in the streets, come up to us and say hi. We love interacting with local fans and will sign an autograph or take a picture. I noticed some people starring at me the other day on the MRT. I don't bite, I'm friendly.
Thanks as always for reading and sharing my blog with others. Thanks to my Taiwanese fans for translating my blog and posting it in your forums.
PS – There was a lot of talk about my comments last week about the all-star game voting and I think it got lost in translation. In no way was I disrespecting the player or envious of him. It was only my outlook of how the voting for the all star game worked. I found it interesting that only the fans vote, and not the managers, players, or media.
Please comment and leave feedback.
For my US fans, here is the link to my statistics. I know it can be tough to find them online or even understand them.
So far 39.1 inns 2.74 ERA 22k's 9 bb http://www.cpbl.com.tw/personal_Rec/pbat_personal.aspx?Pno=A0B2&Gno=01&Role=2&pbatpage=1
Due to the rain we were forced to practice indoors. Literally indoors taking ground balls on a marble floor and getting treatment on top of our ice cooler.
Im no special photographer, but I love this pic

I love the Panda Jeremy Scott Adidas shoes! I'm jealous Taiwan and Asia gets so many special sneaker releases. If anyone owns a sneaker store or has friends who do, please contact me. I'm a huge sneaker collector and would love to get in contact with more people in Taiwan.
It keeps getting hotter!
The first half gets under way tonight in Chayi against the Elephants. When I joined the team in late May we were a couple games out of first place. Once June came around we had a lot of injuries and went on a bad losing streak. I believe we only won 4-5 games in June. I'm glad that the season is split into halves. It gives our guys hope and a fresh start to go forward trying to win a championship.
This past week I went back into Taipei, this time with my "physio" athlete trainer Patrick Hung. Patrick is one of two athletic trainers on the team who take care of the entire team. I told "patty-cake", as the foreigners call him, to show me parts of Taipei a normal tourist wouldn't think to go. We started on the red line of the MRT and headed to Guandu. There was a magnificent temple there where many locals come to pray. I wanted to take video to show the act of worship here, but I did not because I didn't want to be disrespectful to anyones privacy during worship. It was very interesting though. There are individual rooms and statues for different types of worship. People will burn incense and bow and pray to their respective statue for certain help. Fruits, food, and other perishable goods are brought to the temple to show thanks. They also burn faux money in a fireplace for prayer.
Our next stop was to a natural preserve which was a huge mangrove park. There were crabs everywhere. These crabs were special and had one large claw and one small one. We then headed to Danshui which was like a large daytime street market. The air was filled with fresh cooked food ranging from pork, chicken, and squid. Many kids roamed around the boardwalk and played carnival style games. Ice cream seemed to be the biggest seller there. Everyone had cones with multi-colored ice cream over a foot tall.
We then jumped onto a ferry and boated over to Bali. We rented bikes and rode about 10 miles to Shihsanhang. There was an amazing museum there which gave a rich history of the area and architecture. There was a lot of artifacts from the aborigines, which helped cultivate the area we were in.
This past week the Monkeys as a team visited a temple to take part in a ceremony to wish us luck going forward with the season. I'm hoping for less rain. We were rained out for four days straight last week trying to get our final make up game in.
This weekend we had a three game series with the Elephants. They finished the first half playing extremely well and are looking to make a push in the second half as are we. In our first game Ken Ray threw a complete game, but was the tough luck loser as the Elephants scored on a safety squeeze. He only gave up three hits in the game. We lost Friday 1-0.
Steve Hammond took to the mound on Saturday in Kaoushung and threw a gem. He went the distance and threw a nine inning shutout for us. We won 1-0.
On Sunday it was my turn to try to compete with our starters magnificent starts. I threw eight innings giving up two runs and we won 7-2. Our hitters gave me a lot of support with a handful of home-runs. Our defense was great behind me and my catcher called a great game. It was a huge team win especially to take two out of three games on the road. Thanks to all the fans for coming out to all the games. It really makes playing in front of them very exciting. They are cheering non-stop. I apologize for not being able to sign too many autographs after the game. Our team makes us get on the bus as soon as possible so that we can get on the road since we had a five hour drive back. We truly love all of your support, cheers, and signs.
Please share my blog with all your friends and fans. Feel free to ask questions or leave comments. I'm very excited for the second half and to help our team make it to the playoffs.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand, July 22 (UPI) -- Minor damage was reported Monday in New Zealand's capital Wellington from the 6.5-magnitude earthquake that struck off the Cook Strait the previous day.
The Sunday evening quake injured two people, opened up sinkholes in the quake-prone country and damaged some buildings.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake, trailed by at least two smaller aftershocks, was centered in the Cook Strait at a depth of about 10.5 miles, about 34 miles south-southwest of Wellington, between New Zealand's northern and southern islands. The capital lies on the boundary between the Pacific and the Australian tectonic plates.
Wellington Mayor Celia Wade-Brown warned residents to be careful and "expect disruption," CNN reported.
"On the whole, most infrastructure and most buildings have been unaffected -- but we will obviously have engineers and experts double-checking the condition of infrastructure after daybreak," Wade-Brown said in a statement Monday.
The BBC reported the quake also damaged Wellington's Parliament building. Officials said there was no risk of a tsunami.
The report quoted a Wellington resident that there were some power cuts in the city and in nearby suburbs.
The New Zealand Herald, quoting experts, said the damage in Wellington could have been worse but did not rule more aftershocks as the fault line causing quakes in Cook Strait has a history of producing "swarms" of quakes.
"In general New Zealand is very resilient to this type of earthquake. This type of shaking occurring in other countries with very brittle buildings might have caused a lot more mayhem than today," one expert told the Herald.
In February 2011, Christchurch on the South Island, the country's second largest city, was devastated by a 6.3-magnitude earthquake in which 185 people died.

the documentation about installation on linux is a little thin. I did the install on a up- to date fedora 21 machine (64bit linux kernel 3.19.3-fc, dual Xeon, Quadro 2200 w. nvidia- driver 346.47).
There where some issues with the 32- bit libs. First the installer would not start and after installation, Medusa terminated with an error message.
I don't like to install big piles of libraries which might be used by some software, I normally check, which libs are really needed and then install only these. I put together a list of searched libraries by Medusa. This list works with fedora 21 and Gnome v3.14.4- Shell. First, download Medusa from the Schroer- Server and get your license as usual. To use the small script, download it to your home- directory, chmod- it to make it executable and start it. You need root- access to your machine.
On other Linux- flavours, there might be a similar way to install the libs. (for example Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install ... )
In case, there are more missing libs on your installation than I have detected on mine: On fedora (and other similar distros) you can detect which package provides a certain library by using the provides- command:
Hope, this helps other users.
Code: Select all
yum provides librsvg-2.so.2
Code: Select all
# script to install needed shells and 32- bit libs on fedora 21 / 64bit / Gnome v3.14.4 for MEDUSA4, V5.x
sudo yum install csh

sudo yum install mesa-libGLU.i686
sudo yum install libXt.i686
