A practical approach to the mathematical tools needed to increase portfolio growth, learn successful trading strategies, and manage the risks associated with market fluctuation
Mathematical Asset Management presents an accessible and practical introduction to financial derivatives and portfolio selection while also acting as a basis for further study in mathematical finance.
Assuming a fundamental background in calculus, real analysis, and linear algebra, the book uses mathematical tools only as needed and provides comprehensive, yet concise, coverage of various topics, such as:
Interest rates and the connection between present value and arbitrage
Financial instruments beyond bonds that serve as building blocks for portfolios
Trading strategies and risk performance measures
Stochastic properties of stock prices
The difference between expected return and expected growth and the geometric Brownian motion
Diversification through the creation of optimal portfolios under various constraints
The use of the Capital Asset Pricing Model to accurately estimate the difference between the return of the market and the short rate
To further demonstrate the reality of the discussed concepts, the author analyzes five active stocks over a four–year period and highlights the different methods and portfolios that exist in today′s economic world. Exercises are also provided throughout the text, along with the solutions, allowing readers to measure their understanding of presented techniques as well as see how the methods work in real life.
Mathematical Asset Management is an excellent book for courses in mathematical finance, actuarial mathematics, financial derivatives, and financial engineering at the upper–undergraduate and graduate levels. It is also a valuable reference for practitioners in banking, insurance, and asset management industries.

NSA & GCHQ Covertly Took Over Security Standards, Recruited Telco Employees To Insert Backdoors
from the not-so-secure deptAnd the latest report on the Ed Snowden leak documents has come out and it's yet another big one: the NSA and GCHQ have basically gotten backdoors into various key security offerings used online, in part by controlling the standards efforts, and in part by sometimes covertly introducing security vulnerabilities into various products. They haven't "cracked" encryption standards, but rather just found a different way in. The full report is worth reading, but a few key points are worth highlighting.
First, the NSA spends $250 million per year to "covertly" influence tech product designs. The report suggest two ways this is happening. First by infiltrating standards-bodies:
Independent security experts have long suspected that the NSA has been introducing weaknesses into security standards, a fact confirmed for the first time by another secret document. It shows the agency worked covertly to get its own version of a draft security standard issued by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology approved for worldwide use in 2006.That's disturbing enough, but it gets worse. While the Guardian report suggests that unnamed tech companies are "collaborating" in inserting these kinds of backdoors, that's not entirely clear, because later in the document, they suggest that the NSA is recruiting covert operatives within telco firms to insert vulnerabilities:
"Eventually, NSA became the sole editor," the document states.
To help secure an insider advantage, GCHQ also established a Humint Operations Team (HOT). Humint, short for "human intelligence" refers to information gleaned directly from sources or undercover agents.Did you get that? Rather than recruiting spies from, say, governments, the NSA and GCHQ are recruiting employees at telcos to help them suck up and access all your data.
This GCHQ team was, according to an internal document, "responsible for identifying, recruiting and running covert agents in the global telecommunications industry."
"This enables GCHQ to tackle some of its most challenging targets," the report said. The efforts made by the NSA and GCHQ against encryption technologies may have negative consequences for all internet users, experts warn."
All of this activity has apparently led to some major breakthroughs, allowing them to access plenty of data they didn't have access to previously. Just last week we'd written about major successes by the NSA having to do with encryption, and this report reveals more details:
"For the past decade, NSA has lead [sic] an aggressive, multi-pronged effort to break widely used internet encryption technologies," stated a 2010 GCHQ document. "Vast amounts of encrypted internet data which have up till now been discarded are now exploitable."Once again, we're seeing rather extreme behavior on the part of the NSA and GCHQ as they try to basically be able to dig into every possible communication.
An internal agency memo noted that among British analysts shown a presentation on the NSA's progress: "Those not already briefed were gobsmacked!" The breakthrough, which was not described in detail in the documents, meant the intelligence agencies were able to monitor "large amounts" of data flowing through the world's fibre-optic cables and break its encryption, despite assurances from internet company executives that this data was beyond the reach of government.

Welcome, readers regular and brand new, to a succinct round-up of great new bands we're simply titling DiScover Monthly. Once a month, DiS's top contributors will select five new bands for your listening pleasure; some, we'll even be putting on at our DiScover Clubs in London and Sheffield. More bang for next to no buck: brilliant.
We're keeping things in-house for our first instalment, with choices coming straight from the desks of the central editorial team. We've been wearing these MySpaces right out…
Teengirl Fantasy
"Something about that video loop disturbs me to my core." Teengirl Fantasy may have one of the most ridiculous MySpace pages I've ever seen, but that GIF of Van Damme in a lycra one-piece betrays the subtlety of a sherbet-kraut duo. Foaming out of Oberlin College in Ohio, Logan and Nick craft powdery, humming synth lines that wouldn't sound out of place scything through an M83 track, 'til they work all manner of midi drum over the top, and the old glitch/pop sod returns to make 'GasMaskk' the latest in a long line of brain-blowing tracks put together by the same dead-eyed lad pouring his Mountain Dew over a Casio. It's 'Portofino' that's the real acher though, slower and oddly majestic, like the mating ritual of a burst beach ball, sedate 'til the chorus interrupts the lone misanthropy of an idling snare thwack. A third track - called, simply, 'THIEVES' - sounds like John Maus with sand in his cock. Kev Kharas
Invisible Conga People
In equal parts Kompakt to Komische, New York duo Invisible Conga People are the next instalment from New Jersey imprint Italians Do It Better. But rather than the Moroder arpeggio flutters that tied the acts on the lauded After Dark compilation together (Glass Candy, Chromatics, Farah), ICP is a far more dark, detached affair, with aborted bass licks quivering like bleak dubstep lines knitted to a new beat. Comprised of beatniks Eric Tsai and Justin Simon, ICP release their debut 12" through IDIB in a few weeks, with 'Weird Pains' containing a Turkish dialogue from Tsai amid its slew of Neu-isms, backed by 'Cable Dazed''s modest minimal tech swell. With their Kraut-rock claws out, Invisible Conga People are one brilliant Kluster fuck. Samuel Strang
Even a quick glance at Gindrinker's MySpace influences is enough to make a grown man weep – Suicide (uh-huh), Throbbing Gristle (oof), fecking Whitehouse (eesh, that's going to hurt...) – and sure enough, the faint of eardrum should probably turn away now. Marrying Sabbath-esque riffs with lurching post-punk and a sense of humour you'd politely describe as 'savage', the Cardiff-based outfit sound like the ill-tempered sibling of recent DiScover act One More Grain, ripping the value system from your frightened maw and then leaving it to die in the dirt like the dog it really is. Enchanté. Alex Denney
Dinosaur Pile-Up
An ex-Mother Vulpine by the name of Matt teams up with two mates, forming Dinosaur Pile-Up, to play indie-pop that bridges the gulf between The Cribs' chirpy-chappie sing-alongs and the skewed intellectualism of Let's Wrestle; compositionally, it's square between these points – immediate, scratchy, pop to the core but rough enough to sound that little bit more dangerous than standard fare. 'Loveisaboatandwe'resinking' (I'm not certain it's meant to be written as one word, but it is on MySpace) absolutely will bury itself in your head after a single listen, leading one to conclude that if Matt and company refine these raw elements, they're likely to have a proper crossover success on their hands. Dinosaur Pile-Up play our DiScover Club on May 24 with Sky Larkin and Let's Wrestle – details HERE. Mike Diver
Who Owns Death TV
A pair of former Million Dead musicians, Julia and Tom, get together with a couple of guys intent on screaming the house down with hook-laden and hard-edged rock that's not exactly a million miles away from the furious bluster Mclusky kicked up back in the day. Who Owns Death TV aren't out to exclusively please the super-indie sorts populating the clubs they're presently playing – the four-piece have already supported Future of the Left, Qui and Jubilee; rather, their accessible cacophonies suggest they've sights set on conquering audiences most mainstream. Rock Sound has suggested they could be "the next underground sensations". We say: check them out… Who Owns Death TV play our DiScover Club on March 29 with Lakes and Beestung Lips – details HERE. Mike Diver
The next DiScover Monthly will arrive on your monitor the week beginning March 17, and goes monthly 'proper' from then onwards. Any band you think we should be checking out: suggest them below (links please).
Remember, remember: every week we're bringing you a standalone DiScover interview with an emerging act worth your immediate attention. This week: El Guincho (next, The Ruby Suns). Also, don't forget our once-monthly Discover: MySpace Trails, the latest can be read HERE.

NH fisherman guilty of assaulting USCG officer
A New Hampshire fisherman has been convicted of assaulting a Coast Guardsman who had boarded his vessel after he was found operating in a restricted area off Maine's coast.
Federal prosecutors say 53-year-old Scott Jellison of Derry, N.H. was convicted by a jury Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Portland.
Authorities say Jellison's vessel was operating in an area closed to civilians in November 2010 because of a U.S. Navy SEALs training exercise.
Coast Guard officers boarded Jellison's boat. Jellison said his navigation equipment was broken, but the Coast Guard checked and found it worked.
Coast Guard officers concluded Jellison was intoxicated. Authorities say Jellison assaulted a Coast Guard officer and resisted attempts to subdue him.
Jellison faces up to a year in prison and a $100,000 fine at sentencing.

Subaru has released a teaser image of its upcoming 2015 Liberty, due to be unveiled at next week's Chicago motor show.
The new Liberty will be officially revealed to the public on February 6, marking the 25th anniversary of the model (known as the Legacy in the other markets) that has been a mainstay of the hotly contested medium car market.
The new Liberty will also form the basis of the higher-riding Subaru Outback that also gets body add-ons to give it a more rugged look.
A concept version of the new Liberty was unveiled at the 2013 Los Angeles motor show in November last year.
Subaru has already confirmed that the popular mid-sizer will score sharper handling styling and more features in its newest generation. One highly-touted feature will be Subaru's updated Eyesight safety system, which uses a colour camera to detect brake lights on the car in front to avoid a potential collision. The system uses a pair of stereoscopic cameras mounted either side of the rear view mirror to look down the road ahead, warning drivers or applying the brakes in emergency situations.
All Liberty models will be fitted with all-wheel-drive capability.
Details of the upcoming Liberty are yet to be confirmed, but it's understood Subaru will continue with the base model's naturally aspirated 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine. Mated to a CVT automatic, that powertrain currently produces 127kW and 235Nm of torque.
Also anticipated for the new model is a carry-over version of the turbocharged 2.5-litre engine that exists in higher-spec Libertys. With a higher ratio six-speed automatic gearbox tipped, that engine will likely receive a spike in power over its current 195kW/350Nm output.
The new Subaru Liberty sedan will land in Australia sometime in 2015, with a wagon version also in the pipeline.

A perfect accompanyment to meals of any culture, Damoon is a new line of tableware that connects historical Korean culture and craft with the aesthetics of modern day life. Each plate and vessel is hewn from Yuhgee - a traditional Korean bronzeware with a uniquely high ratio of tin to copper. This ratio imbues it with a beautiful subtle sheen, heat and cold preserving properties and the ability to be sterilized – qualities that secured its position as the traditional tableware of Korean royalty and noblemen. Furthering its historical appeal, Yuhgee goes by the name "bowl of life" due to the metal's tendency to turn black upon contact with toxic ingredients.
The full Damoon line is made by skilled craftsmen with a touch of magic in Korea.
DIMENSIONS: 8.3" D x 2.4" H, 2.2 lbs
USE & CARE: Upon initial use, food stains and fingerprints may be left on the Yuhgee. Over time these stains will disappear, revealing the original Yughee texture. Strongly acidic foods such as soy sauce and vinegar may cause changes in color. For long term storage, please wrap in paper or plastic. Do not place in stove, oven, open fire or dishwasher.
CLEANING: Cleanse with dish soap and a scouring pad or scrub brush. Overtime, a subtle moonlight-light pattern will appear on the bowl's surface. This is to be enjoyed as a new development and not viewed as damage. Wipe dry with a towel.
DESIGN: Chaehoon Moon for Damoon
Approx 5-7 Weeks (Made Upon Order)

Adelaide is the fifth largest city of Australia having a large number of stunning attractions and places to see. If you have ever visited Adelaide, you must definitely know that this city is full of attractions ranging from exhibitions, beauty spots and guided tours. But for the people who have never been to Adelaide, I will describe some of the most popular attractions of Adelaide.
Rodney Fox Shark Experience
Rodney Fox Shark Experience is located in Adelaide's coastal resort of Glenelg. This attraction houses an exhibition about shark attacks and Australian sharks. Here you will find films, pictures and information about sharks and believe me it will not only be enjoyable but also informative. Some other attractions in Rodney Fox Shark Experience include:
- Shark-watching pleasure trip
- Shark diving trips
- Gift shops having a number of items
Are you surprised by the name of this place? Actually Rodney Fox is a celebrity in city of Adelaide who managed to survive a shark attack a number of years ago.
Adelaide Cruises
The most relaxing and exciting way to visit Adelaide is through Adelaide's cruises as they provide an opportunity to travel around this city and its surrounding areas. During these trips, tourists are entertained with commentary and refreshments.
SkyCity Adelaide Casino
Located in Adelaide city center, the SkyCity Adelaide Casino boasts of being one of the largest casinos in South Australia. It is an exciting place to visit as state-of-the-art gambling facilities are provided here including blackjack areas, fruit machines and roulette tables. Apart from these facilities, there are also some world-class restaurants providing excellent dining facilities.
Adelaide Zoo
Being operated on non-profit basis, Adelaide Zoo is the only metropolitan zoo in Australia. Most popular attraction in this zoo is children's zoo where you can find more than 120 animals. Some of the animals kept in children's zoo include fallow deer, domestic ferret, koala, rabbits, rat, lowline cow, sheep, miniature goat and of course, kangaroos.
Coastal location of Semaphore has become a popular tourist attraction because this seaside resort not only offers to see beautiful golden sandy beaches but also there is a theme park in this area where you and your kids can enjoy wonderful and thrilling rides, fishing, water slides etc. Here you will also find other attractions including bars, restaurants, cafes, shops, walking trails and last but not the least; beautiful and magnificent views of city.
Parks and Gardens
Adelaide also houses a number of natural parks and gardens where you can enjoy walking under trees in Veale Garden and watching beautiful flowers displayed there. You can also visit Adelaide Botanic Garden with your family or if you are interested in watching wildlife, you must visit Belair National Park.
I will suggest visiting above mentioned places and attractions if you ever have a chance of visiting Adelaide.

In one day you'll be done with your holiday shopping for the year. Just throwin' it out there…
For you minor league followers, Phil Gurnee caught up with De Jon Watson over at True Blue LA about some of our prospects.

Hey, thanks Josh…..I hope you all are making room for plenty of……………. ANDRE BOBBLEHEADS.
Josh, call me when I can buy some legitimate Dodger World Series gear. Or a Nelly bobblehead.
Josh, please notify us when Frank and Jamie are no longer owners. As long as they are, I won't contribute a dime to anything that benefits them. So, F the Left Field Team Store!!!
I am delighted with the honors bestowed on Andre and Matt. That should bode real well for them for the upcoming arbitration. Break the bank, guys – break Frank. Don't sign any measly deal with these F'ers. Ask for the big bucks in arbitration. Between that and Jamie's support, we ought to bring F to his knees and make him sell the team.
I like that lbirken a Nelly bobblehead 🙂
That's the spirit Bear!!
I'd like to see an Enchanted bobblehead complete with brown paper bag…
And a Bear bobblehead with a red face and flying F bombs waving a flag that has a picture of Frank & Jamie with a line drawn through it.
Hey Josh!! Do they still have the "Today is a Good Dre" t-shirts? I really, really want one of those seeing how I have all the other Ethier-related items. I will be making a trip down that way sometime before the 27th.
Dodger4life – They won't need room in the store. They will be sold out the first night – LOL!!!!
lbirken – much to kind, thanks!!!!!!
messagebear – I really hope the ownership (whatever that is right now) does what is best for Andre and Matt (and our others who will be in arbitration too) and make them glad they are still with the Dodgers and not want to jump ship the first chance they get.
That would be good Scott. Enchanted would have to have the brown paper bag because nobody knows what he looks like – LOL!!!!
I read that article on TrueBlue LA…..Those guys are very informative……Lindblom if he doesn't make the big league roster is slated for AAA. DeJesus was regaining his motion and is expected to ready for spring training, and Lucas May has been doing well with the bat, and progressing as a catcher.
Nellyjune ~ I'd like the Dre shirt too!
I think they must have seen Enchanted walking around lately………
In contrast, the Los Angeles Dodgers' owner and former CEO aired their dirty laundry in public, provided paper bags to fans to hide their embarassed faces and raised ticket prices with unemployment up near 12%. In a related news item, the record 3.7 million fans who attended Dodger games this season are being awarded the "kick me in the behind over and over" award as the fans most willing to forgive exploitation and duplicity by baseball team owners.
The article is actually about Andre, Matt and our other Dodger award winners so far, but this was pretty funny knowing how we think here on ITD.
I wish I could write a song about something other than this but at the moment this is what I have to work with.
The song choice was tough to listen to over so my apologies to you all…………….
Anyhooo here we go…………….
keep in mind though, I am new at this and the master seems to have retired.
Frank and Jamie Say Goodbye
Dixie Chicks….Earl had to die
Jamie and Frank had high hopes in L.A.
All through their power couple day?s
Both members of the cheat their fans club
cause we can?t believe anything they say
After being scorned by Boston, Frank went looking
for a new legacy to destroy
Jamie search all over Los Angeles
Until she found her a new boy toy
Well it wasn?t two weeks after she was promomted
That Jamie was feeling a little screwed
She remembered those documents that she had signed
That gave Frank sole control of the Blue
So as she worked out a plan to file for divorce
Off to Paris with her new doughboy she flew
Shortly after they returned, Frank came home from his run
Where he caught them making waves in his pool
Right away the Dodgers plan to acquire an ace
Went away as Ned, tried to save face
And as Joes horses, started turning to glue
Frank and Jamie, say goodbye
Goodbye?. Blue!
To your Dodgertown dreams
And your parking schemes?. Frank
Time to retreat!!!
Why don?t you save us the hassle?.Please
Just divide up the castles
Leave the team to someone who cares, Frank
Our boys on the field deserve better than this
And Frankly so do we
So excuse my demeanor as I call
You a weiner
Man that felt good,
just thought you should know
Well the weeks went by and
Spring turned to Summer
And Summer faded into the Fall
Turns out
whatever it takes to win a championship
Wasn?t whatever it takes after all
So as our boys get some rest
And think about the quest
You promised to help them achieve
It?s time for us fans to come up with a plan
That will cut you right off at the knees
Frank and Jamie say goodbye
We don?t want you
We don?t want your visions?. Frank (we have our own)
We don?t want your press??. Jamie (No TMZ)
We just want you to do whats best, (Both of you)
So leave, leave, leave
Hurry up and leave
Leave, leave, leave
Run Them Out Of Town Records
Whatever It Takes LP
It should read………….
And as Joes horses started turning to glue,
there wasn't anything the faithful could do.
Josh…….Speaking of (SERIOUS HOLIDAY SHOPPING!!!)
Here is our list
And tell Santa that there is extra milk and cookies (DodgerEric Brand) if he will take FRANK amnd JAMIE back to the North Pole with him.
LOL!!!! Like Dodgereric's cookies, maybe our owners will disappear.
BTW – fabulous song 🙂
Gagne wants a contract
yea right!! LOL!!!!
………..and you are welcome 🙂
I'll bet Ned already has his nameplate above his locker at Camelback.
Someone has to fill Milton and Ohmans place in the room, granted Weaver was productive, but can lightning really strike twice.
Now that Matt and Andre have stepped up, it's time for Billingsley and Kershaw. It's really the only way the Dodgers will win a championship. The future of the Dodgers rests on those two kids. I'd resign Garland, if for no other reason than they gave up Abreu to get him–plus he's an innings eater…Kuroda…then who…who's the fifth starter? Padilla?
khali I think we all will agree with you that Kershaw and Bills
are a big key to our pitching staff. Padilla seems like a gamble for an entire season, but what do I know. Heck I am starting to wonder if Charlie Hough can still throw that knuckleball of his. He could even moonlight as the pitching coach, making Honeycutt obselete. That would free up some payroll on both ends. He would be like a fresh new face no one has ever seen. Although I am pretty sure Ned has already had the scouts take a look at him.
Good Morning ITDland ~ Awesome song Dodger4life!
Good morning everyone………………
This date in ITD history…..Spring Training Is just 88 Days Away….Thread, November 14, 2008
The talk was highly energized last year this time, mainly about Manny Ramirez and CC Sabathia……Although there was much concern for the fires in the south land.
I am happy to report that those talks have been extinguished for good this hot stove season. Our master song writer Enchantedsunset was topping the billboard charts a year ago today with his artistic wizardry, bringing us three solo hits such as (Ned Flanders, When I Grow Up To Be A GM and Play for me)……DodgerEric also released his solo record that week titled (Your Not A Baseball Mind)
We look forward to both those Artist returning to the stage in 2010.
Readers and Writers who contributed to the thread a year ago today
Hmmmmm….Nelly must have been sick or something??
Anyhow, I was just curious as to what Ned whats up to last year this time, and took the time to reminisce a little. I hope everyone is doing well this off season.
In recent times Buster Onley rumors suggest that the Dodgers are thinking internally about Jamey Carroll as a utility infielder
Also on the thread from a year ago, we were joined by our gloating troll friend with his overwhelming wisdom, here's a little stroll down the Troll highway, which is currently under construction or has been rerouted through the Bronx
Greetings from the home of the reigning World Series Champs!
Now, what are you folks gonna do about your stripped-down roster? You guys look like a AAA team right now.
I still believe, 2010 is approaching….well it's approaching and I for one hope we all remain enthusiastically anxious to see the boys return to the Ravine…GO DODGERS!!!!!!!!!
Almost forgot…..Here is a quick link to a year ago today, enjoy your Saturday everybody……GO BLUE!!!!!!!!
Holy Cow!! Great stuff D4, Thanks!!!
I sure wish we had Bear or Trumom dealing with player agents. LOL!!! Not going to bamboozle those two with a load of s**t!!!
I was reading up on those posts from a year ago. Very interesting. Miss those names "junkyardjamie" (how prophetic), jungar, and MaxPower. Where have you guys been?
Thanks jhall…..I was trying to mix it up a little….It was an interesting read to go back in time a bit. I know the garbage we have been exposed to has people in a funk so to speak. Also the Time Warp issues are challanging as well, but as they say life goes on….and what a great life we have here on ITD. I see Ohio State has a challange today as well…GO BUCKEYES!!!
LOL D4!!! You are more than welcome my friend. Good instincts. We need a little diversion. Thanks for the Buckeye shout!!! I agree, you and all our ITD friends/faithful are great!!! Time Warp does suck!!!
You can't keep a good man down jhall……You too my friend
I see USC is in a dog fight with Stanford. Pac-10 is no easy row to hoe!!!
Actually, in the beginning, junkyardjamie was dnelson. Not sure how that all got switched around. That is why she is Nelly now!!! I think I got tired of typing dnelson. Nelly seemed appropriate and was easier to type. LOL!!!
I seen that too…I was kind of hoping USC would face my Broncos in a BCS game, they need to adjust at the half…they are at home….Come on Trojans!!!
I knew who it was jhall…I left that one out there as bait….LOL!!!
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you D4!!!
I figured you knew D4, I'm just not sure how dnelson got totally wiped from the archives!!! LOL!!!
namesnatchers I think…..I am sure she will respond later 🙂
I need to get back to my painting jhall…..stop by tonight if you can……good chatting with ya 🙂
Always a pleasure chatting with you D4. Catch you later!!
Always a positive my friend….as I head back to the paintbrush singing……………….
I also remember around that time, Enchanted had become brownpaperbag, went on vacation, and, we decided to change all of our names so when he got back, he'd get a kick out of our originality. And, boy, did he ever!!!
Hi tru, I remember that well, it was fun….We couldn't wait for him to return…LOL!!! What was your bag name again??? Malibuluebag???
I think I had a few of them and, yes, that was one of my names!!! You had several, too 🙂
YAY for Jhall….Buckeyes won in overtime….going to Rose Bowl!
Thanks Trumom!! Shouldn't have come to that, but, I'll take it. Hard fought game, got to give a lot of credit to to Iowa!!!!
Now, all we have to do is see who wins the Pac-10. Whoever it is, it will be an awesome game!
And, the way things are going, it won't be my Trojans! They look rather pathetic right now.
I think so Trumom, Oregon or Arizona. Now that you and Nelly are honorary Buckeyes, who do you root for? LOL!!!
I'm still a Pac-10 gal! lol
Good for you Tru!!! LOL!!!!
I was pulling for your Buckeyes today, however 🙂
Good for you Tru!!! LOL!!!!
Thanks Tru, we needed all the help we could get. Perhaps, you put us over the top. LOL!!!
I'm sure I did! I am a Lucky Charm! lol
Now we need you to get into Billz's back pocket!! LOL!!
That's my project for next season! lol
LOL!!!! You go girl!!!
Now, I'm all fired-up and, we don't get play for such a long time! lol
Sounds good for your hubby Tru!!!! LOL!!!
LMAO!!!! I have to suffer while he watches his Lakers play!
Too funny Tru!! I think you can out do the Lakers girl!!! Get it on!!!
I haven't had to shake my booty for quite some time! I'm not sure if it is in good working condition! lol
My Pom-Poms are in good working condition!
junkyardjamie – Where did that name come from?!?!!!!! LMAO!!!!!!!! Oh, what fun times those were. Another one of our many crazy moments to go into the ITD history books.
The Boss ~ My Hometown
Frank Take A Look Around
Thanks, Thanks a lot
1 2, 1 2 3 4
I was eight years old, watching the boys, pretending that I was Vin
I?d call out the line-up, and welcome the crowd as Sutton came trotting in
Yes that was me, back in 73, couldn't?t wait for the games to begin
They were Alston's squad, and O?Malley's team, and the scene was Chavez Ravine
These are hallowed grounds
This is our hometown
Frank take a look around
The bum is not a clown
Turn to 81, and although Alston was gone, Tommy took his turn in the sun
It was a heck of squad, Fernando on the mound
There was nothing gonna stand in their way
Not the two games down, as we swept the next three, on these hallowed grounds
As we took game 7, back in the Bronx
The bums were all jumping up and down
These are hallowed grounds
This is our hometown
Frank take a look around
The bum is not a clown
It?s 2010, and as we wait out the winter
the quest is on again
And this off season glory, it ain?t the story, that we all want to hear
So take a word of advice and do whats right with this is a talented group of guys
These are hallowed grounds
This is our hometown
Frank take a look around
The bum is not a clown
At the end of the year, it would be nice to hear
Vin have the last cry
As we look to the sky and not have to ask why
We came so near
It will be 61 years for the man, that help put us all in the stands
Cause these are our hallowed grounds
Proud Of My Blue Records
Win One for Vin CD
Restore The Order Tour
Whichever way your pleasures tend
If you plant ice you're gonna harvest wind…
Talk about holiday shopping, and I don't see any action forthcoming from our management to fill the holes in pitching and second base. Are we going to do anything proactive, or will we just wait until all the other teams have picked over the available players and settle for the bargain basement options?
I don't argue over not exercising our options on Garland and Padilla, because the dollars seemed too high for their value, particularly considering today's economic climate. I hope we try to land Padilla for maybe two years at something like $12 million total. I would also try to get Wolf for two at maybe $15 million. Padilla can still bring the heat and mix it with good command, and Wolf proved that he can put up the innings and would be a good #3 or #4 starter.
As for second base, I'm not sure that DeWitt has earned the starting position, so I would at least offer Hudson arbitration and try to get Belliard on a one year deal as a backup. In any case, I'm getting bored with no baseball for months to come and no action being contemplated by our management team. Who needs to hear about Mattingly possibly becoming a "manager in waiting" while we have so many questions about who will be on the team next year?
Let's hear what you think, ITD people.
Good morning all……………
Bear here is a look at what DeWitt has been doing in the Carribean Leagues, I am not sure what it means other than he is 7 for 30 at the plate?
I have shared my concerns with Padilla, yes he has good stuff, his MO is that he loses concentration at times and that worries me for a complete season. I cant say for sure but it seems he was asking for 12 million per season also?
Khali I was just falling asleep last night when i read your post, I googled….. and googled….. trying to understand the meaning. I never did quite get the complete understanding, other than Jerry Garcia was linked to it. I am so tired today from all of the late night wisdom I was searching for…..LOL!!! If you will please explain in further detail so that I can sleep tonight. Thank you 🙂
Well it's a good time to catch up on that lost sleep, have a great Sunday everyone 🙂
P.S. How would we be feeling if Ned had made that trade at the deadline for Gonzales and Bell…Discuss……..
Thanks Khali, I can sleep in peace now…jk. Well said 🙂
Dodger4Life…didn't mean to harass your senses or your sleep…but it is INDEED a line from the Grateful Dead–a simple little thought about bad planning, oblivious thinking, bad karma, idiocy, stupidity, lack of foresight, lack of a coherent vision, cockiness, a style-over-substance mentality, and whatever else fits our current ownership stewards. To repeat, "If you plant ice, you're gonna harvest wind." As ye sow, so shall ye reap. It is my nightmare apocalyptic vision for the Dodgers…should Frank and Jamie continue fiddling through the blaze.
bear, I like Dewitt…it's not his fault Ned blocked him with a three-year deal for Blake. The Dodgers need to find out about DeWitt. He's either a player of not. I feel he is. As for pitching…………………….free agents…trades…whatever, I'm into wishin' and hopin' and think' and prayin'….as in Billingsley and Kershaw rise up and take charge.
JR. DODGERERIC CLUB………This kid has got to be leading the way.
My 11-year-old son Jacob just told me what he wants for the holidays this year. He asked me for about 100 blank DVDs. "What in the world are you planning to do with them," I asked. "I want to record every televised game Vin Scully calls next season and keep them forever," he said.
If you only had access to dvd's back in the Eric……. so much more room for your toy's.
By the way thanks for sharing the Black Binder with me it was an enjoyable read. College ruled notebook paper, with line-ups for the entire season, not sure what year. Scorebook's and complete stats. I was astonished when I seen that he had a player…(unsure of who as my memory is slow these days) goes into the army, and it was notated, two weeks later he was back and it was notated agian. Great stuff 🙂
*back in the day, my bad
Ahem!!! Dodger4life – he already has a fan club – LOL!! So, a Junior Dodgereric Club isn't much of a stretch. However, that kid does remind me of Eric and his binders. BTW Eric – Great race today by the #48.
Congrats to Andre and Matt on their Silver Slugger Awards. Well-deserved for both of them. I thing the Dodgers should try and keep Padilla and Wolf and I've always liked DeWitt. I would like to see him get a real chance. You can't really judge what he did this past season because he was jerked back and forth so much.
What about Dan Uggla???
Good Evening Everyone…………..
I know we have been a little eager to see what Ned's been up to so…..
My imagination took a little stroll today, Hope you like it
It's time for…..
Scene: Ned Colletti's office………

Ned Colletti…..OKay! but I'm thirsty all this greetin on the smiley phone has my mouth a little dry.
Secretary….Alright, I'll run down to the break room and get you something to drink…(as she turns to leave the room.) You hear a big SNAP!!!
Ned Colletti….Ha Ha Ha Ha….I fooled ya!!! Get me Scott Boras on that smiley thing there. I think I can fool him now too….
End of Act 1…..tune in tomorrow for Hot Stove Action With Neddie
LMAO!!!!!!!!!! Dodger4life – very, very good!!! I read that thinking it was Enchanted. Way to go!!! Can't wait to see what happens in the next act.
Speaking of enchanted – I hope your travels to California are going well :)))
Here is a little more of Hot Stove Action With Neddy
Scene Ned Colletti?s Office????
Act 2
(Secretary)??Oh Neddy?uh hum? I mean Mr.Colletti, I will be right back with your refreshments, now you keep working on those phone skills while I am gone. I?ll be just a minute.
(Ned Colletti)?.(winding sound?..click click click click?.winding sound click click click click?.Ring Ring Ring)?.Hello this Neddy Colletti, I need to speak to Arn Tellum?.I want to make a deal with him on that kid of his what his name Furcal. Yeah were prepared to go as high as it takes to bring him back. Atlanta!!! No he?s not going to be happy in Atlanta, there is No Manny in Atlanta?.All the Manny is in Right here in L.A!! L.A.!! I say?.Yeah, I?ll throw in some incentives, I like incentives myself, I use them around the office every afternoon around 4:20 myself?..What scent is it going to take just give me an idea Arn!!
Secretary…. (returning with refreshments )….Here is your Capri Sun Mr.Colletti, yes I already put the straw in for you….I remember the accident we had yesterday. Have you been practicing your phone skills while I was away?
Ned Colletti……I am a master darling, me and Mr. Smiley just made a deal with Arn Tellum for Furcal……We need to order a whole bunch more of those vanilla incentives for the deal to go through though….Snap, Snap….Ha Ha…just messing with ya.
I am just missing our fearless leader ya'll where is enchanted and everyone else……Come on guy's and gals it's the season to be jolly…..fa,la,la la…fa,la,la,la….
LMAO D4!! Jingle Bells my friend. Just wondering who Jamie and Frank are hanging out with under the mistletoe now days!!! More importantly, how much money will be left to keep our team on track to win a championship!!! I don't really give a dam'n about their personal conflict as long as our team doesn't suffer!!!! Tis the season to improve our starting pitching, Fa La La La La!!! Deck the mound with a true ace and a bullpen teams hate to face. La, Laa, La, La, Laa!!!!
Good Nell', and yourself. So far, all quiet on the western front. I'm waiting for a bombshell!!!! I hope it is actually Ned making a good deal!!! Not holding my breath however!!! LOL!!! As Beav and Dad would say, I think Ned will be dumpster diving this off season. Not really his fault in lieu of the current situation!!!
Still Time Warped!!! Sigh!!!!
What about Brandon Phillips?
Play DeWitt at 2nd and spend the available money to get Greg Maddux to coach Kersh and Billz!!!
LOL D4!! We're obviously all touched here at ITD!!!
Happy to report, no serious cold here so far. We've had above average temperatures all this month. It won't last, but we are enjoying it while it lasts!!
Good to see you all gang!! Keep the faith!! Gonna rack it for now, catch you all down the road. Excelsior True Believers!!!!
Wow!!!!! Look who is here…………………….Collie and Jhall – How are you sirs?
Dodger4life – keep it up!!!!
Collie – you asked about Dan Uggla the other day- I would sign him if we had the resources to do so. Brandon Phillips would be worth looking into as well.
Hi tru!!! How are you doing? :))))
the Detroit Tigers and Cincinnati Reds doing some pro-active payroll pruning, and if the Reds are serious about trading Brandon Phillips as has been speculated, the Toronto Blue Jays will be all over him. Blue Jays scouts think he has the arm to play third base ? Phillips won a Gold Glove at second in 2008, but Aaron Hill?s not likely to be moved ? and Phillips is well-known to both general manager Alex Anthopoulos and adviser Tony LaCava. LaCava was with the Montreal Expos in 1999 when Phillips was chosen second overall, and as an adviser with the Cleveland Indians, he pushed for him to be included in the Bartolo Colon deal. Phillips has two years and $19-million (U.S.) left on his contract.
I remember he did some damage against us last seson as well Collie…..Any trade of signifigance will need to be scrutinized though. I like Gonzales from the Padres they will be discussing his future soon and chances are he will be too expensive for the Pads in the near future. Sorry James I still love my Loney though.
Nice touch, jhall…..
No, Jhall, I don't think we are going to get to blame Ned for much this off-season seeing how it looks he will have so little to work with by the time all the arbitration-eligible players are given contracts and Frank and Jamie have sucked up the rest.
Glad to hear/read you are doing well. Same old stuff happening around here, other than the weather getting colder, but I can't complain as I am sure you are much colder than we are right now 🙂
jhall nothing wrong with being touched these days….unless your next e-mail is from Swimmer……
Well, that's good jhall!!!!! You are right…………enjoy it while it lasts.
Good to see you all here tonight……it's been very slow around ITD lately….Dodger4life has kept the me going with his play, lol.
I've had enough of the pool floaties…..Next!!!
Good Night Jhall!!!!! Thanks for dropping by. I will let your father and Beav know you checked in tonight. Take care and sweet Dodger dreams Wally!!!!
Good Night Wally……I seen Collie here as well…..Good to see ya around DC….the mothership is gearing up again I can sense it……I am starting to worry that they have already abducted Enchanted and Eric…..
I'm A Blues man, A Dodger Blues Man
Good things come to those who wait
And I've waited a long time
I'm a Dodger Blues man, but a good man, understand
I had heard this original song on the way to Bakersfield a few weeks ago, and I had immediately thought of our present circumstances with our infamous owners. This song could have easily been unchanged and the lyrics still would have spoke volumes of how Jamie could do some serious damage to the Dodger Organization depending on how this divorce unfolds in the months to come. Let's hope they keep the Dodger Organization as far away from this divorce as they possibly can, but being Dodger fans, it's never an easy job, is it?
Original Song ? Witchy Woman by the Eagles
Jamie's hair and Jamie's lips
Paid for by the DodgerShip
P-oed voices on our site
Have a restless spirit with an endless plight
Wooo hooo witchy woman, see how
Jamie flies
Woo hoo witchy woman she's got
A new man in her eye
She had him spellbound in the night
Dancing shadows and firelight
Crazy laughter in Malibu
As she drove Frank to madness
And into sudden doom
Woo hoo witchy woman see how high Jamie flies
Woo hoo witchy woman she got a new man in her eye
******Musical Interlude******
Well we know she has a lover,
Let me tell your brother, she's been sleeping
In the driver's bed.
And there's some rumors going round
Someone's going down
She will rock him in the limelight
til his skin turns red
Woo hoo witchy woman
See how Jamie flies
Woo hoo witchy woman
She got a new man in her eye
Rockin Nelly, Flat Out Rockin 🙂
See How High….Jamie Flies
I Love It!!!
Thanks Dodger4life!!!!!
103 Days until the first Spring Training game 🙂
That will be here sooner than Ned can snap a bra strap Nelly……………….
Yep, I am sure. Once the holidays come and go, it will be here in no time.
It's officially November 17th, and time for a look back into ITD History once again…….
A year ago today the Thread was Andre is back.
We managed to wring out 423 comments on this thread, spanning right around 3 days….there were 5 new songs introduced, two released by the originator of Dodger Lyrics himself, (The Wonder of You, and A little ditty about retribution.) JunkyardJamie graced the billboards that thread also with (What's so funny about peace , Love and Understanding) once again she had the crystal ball in good working order….The master Enchanted, brought us a Joan Jett re-write with (I LOVE PVL'S) and our very own aesthetics coordinator the knowledgeable Khali himself graced our presence with an untiled hit we shall call (Take a Load Off Manny…Take a Load for Free.) There was plenty of laughter on this thread as once again it seemed as if Ned was nowhere to be seen.
Readers and Writers that contributed to the thread
Like I mentioned before there was allot of very entertaining stuff in this thread it is definitely worth a re read.
I will leave you with one excerpt that I found rather amusing, as it pertains to the Wish princess himself Andru that is…..
By enchantedsunset…..
ATLANTA (APP) The suspect the disappearance of the Three Little Pigs has been apprehended face down in a trough of Fritos near the east side Dairy Queen. Witnesses say his stomach looked enormously distended, and faint traces of pork were in the air. As he was being driven away in the back of a police squad car, he was seen mouthing the words, ?carnitas good.?
No traces of the Three Little Pigs have been found.
Here is the links folk's…enjoy 🙂
LOL!!!!! Is there a way I can get my name back to dnelly for those threads? I guess I should be thankful it's not tradejuanpaperbag. I noticed Kahli is kpookimon in those threads. He and Old Fogey were the originals who had their name changed without warning.
Good Stuff Dodger4life!!!!
Hot Stove Action With Neddy
Act 3

But, maybe Josh can let us know whether Frank is a
right-handed or a left-handed self-diddler.

WOO-HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AWESOME, Dodger4life!!!!!
Dodgers reported to be looking into John Smoltz
Dodger Stadium is pitcher-friendly, as are the Mets and Mariners' home parks. Smoltz likely would prefer to stay in the N.L. ? he went 2-5 with an 8.32 ERA in eight starts for the Red Sox last season before going 1-3 with a 4.26 ERA in seven starts for the Cardinals.
He could be a good guy to have around the youngsters.
HEY!!! I'VE GOT AN IDEA!!!!! Stairs is a free agent, so let's get him fast, so Broxton will not have to pitch to him next year when the **** gets thick…I still can't believe that happened.
Unf**kingbelievable. 20 years from now I'll still be saying that.
When is this hot stove going to start.anyway?
We'd be right in the fire of the Hot Stove season had our two "Caretakers" shut their mouths instead of bickering like children with double-speak that would make Big Brother's head spin.
Smoltz would be a decent add. Can't be any worse of an offseason add than… say… Milton or Ohman.
Not gonna take sides re: the divorce… it's like that politically-incorrect saying that was so big earlier this decade… the one that started "Arguing on the internet is like competing in the Special Oly…" nevermind… that's wrong. But Google that much of it, and you'll see what I'm talking about, and likely agree in this case.
Whoever "wins" this case will have tarnished their reputation with the fans, and whichever McCourt (if any) is left in control would do wise to take a page out of Artie Moreno's book on "How to Create a Loyal Fanbase Without Fleecing Your Fans". Might help a little…
I know one thing for sure: The way McCourt is handling the L.A. Marathon, he's going to lose major points with his whole "caretaker of tradition" facade. I can't fault the appeal of a "Stadium to the Beach" route, but A.) I'm not running the marathon, and B.) Just because the L.A. Marathon doesn't have quite the prestige of the Boston Marathon doesn't mean that one should feel free to fix what isn't broken once they sink their cla… I mean, take hold of the reins.
But isn't that emblamatic of the McCourt Era in L.A.? I mean, I'm the first to concede that they've done a lot of good, more than I could probably name. But the way that they're tearing down the traditions they're supposed to be upholding, it doesn't take 20-20 vision to see where their priorities lie.
P.S.: Did you know that registration for last year's L.A. Marathon had decreased by a third? Now you know, and Knowing is Half the Battle!
Josh, how about a new thread. Give us something, anything to discuss.
NSB, I agree that the McCourts have done a lot of good, positive things, especially compared to Fox. I believe they want to win and create a good experience for the fans. To me, they have tried too hard to be important people, big shots, celebrities or whatever you want to call it. They have tried to put their stamp on the organization, which I suppose is understandable. The problem is the McCourts seem to want to make things about them and for whatever reason they just come off as shallow and not totally believable. We just don't know for sure who these people really are. At least that is the way I see it.
Read where the Dodgers have contacted the agent for Mark DeRosa and John Smoltz. I gotta tell you, neither excites me at all. Nothing against DeRosa, he's a good player, but I see him as yet another PVL roadblock to a Dodger farmhand named Blake DeWitt. Recent history has shown DeWitt breaking in with a bang in 2008…the league adjusting…but DeWitt never getting a chance to make HIS adjustments. I would always choose to err on the side of home-grown talent and I still believe he's a keeper. Signing PVL DeRosa would pretty much make DeWitt trade bait and I think that's a mistake. Smoltz?…again, nothing against Smoltz, he's probably a Hall-of-Famer…but at this late date in his career, he's just another 6-inning pitcher at best–something this team needs to avoid, not collect. Rumors are just that, rumors. But these kinds of moves would hardly signal a commitment to bold, creative thinking. It smacks of typical Ned garage-sale items at the insistence of marginal ownership. Hey, Ned, Joe, Frank, Jamie, and "the driver." Look what happened when you gave those "kids" Ethier and Kemp a chance. I've got a sick feeling the PVL blues will be staring me right in the face again.
Hi'Ya Kahli!! Good to see you my friend. I tend to agree with you. Good post and well said. Lots of good posts I see. Enjoyed reading you all. Keep the Neddy saga coming D4!!!
As the Beav so succinctly put it, I think Ned will be relegated to dumpster diving this off season. Give DeWitt a real shot. Let's see what he can do before we panic. It's easy enough to pick up a servicable 2nd baseman in July. Concentrate on the pitching Ned!!!!
We need a pitching coach that can get Billz's head on straight.
And, as Kahli stated, I'm dam'n tired of these 5-6 inning starting pitchers we seem to collect.
Bonjour Nelle' bon mon amie!!!!
LOL, I'm clairvoyant!! DNelson will be joining us I foresee!!!!
It's very telling to read all the baseball rumors and hot stove talk and see that the Dodgers are very seldom if ever mentioned!!! We appear to be a lame duck this off season.
Jhall is in the ITD House!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kahli, Northstateblues and lbirken – great posts!!!!!!
Dodger4life – just fabulous!!!!!
Hello gang ~ Just to put in my two cents…..I don't want Smoltz!!!! He will not solve our problems. And, to me, DeRosa is also a NO!!!!
If we are going to get somebody, at least make them an asset to the team. Not somebody signed just to make Ned look like he is doing something important!
Trumom is also going to be joining us. LOL!!! How've you been Trumom? Always a true pleasure to see you!!!
Oops, stupid time warp didn't work that time. LOL!!!
LOL, Jhall….the time warp is very unpredictable!
Well gang, it's pretty obvious that our biggest need is Quality Starting Pitching!! No mystery there!!! I'm not very optimistic we will be in a good position to properly address it however!! Any thoughts?!!!
Submission error hell once again for too many comments. I have only made one comment all day – uuugggghhhhh!!!!! Attempt #24 to post 🙂
Do we need to start a campaign to get Ned to focus on pitching, pitching and pitching?
It's that ITD touch Jhall. Sometimes we have it sometimes we don't. Obviously, you have had it the last couple of days.
Good evening everybody…….
What I said about Smoltz was I thought maybe he would be able to nuture the youngsters, and with that in mind could maybe see him in a Weaver sort of role. As a starter I tend to agree with you all. Nothing excites me. Yes we have said it before that it is Honeycutts job to see to the progression of our kids, but let's face it….Who has confidense in that. I am sure we will be going through many arms once again this season….so……As Khali bhas mentioned several times the kids Kershaw and Bills need to step up there game and get us to that expected level. I have seen a rumor somewhere?? My memory has escaped me as to maybe trading Loney and Martin to San Diego for Gonzales. Lots of if's in that rumor but what a deal if Ned could manage to somehow pull that off and lock gonzales up for a few years……
jhall they enchantedtized me….that is when you hit the submit button and your post goes nowhere.
Maybe we can swap Juan Pierre for Bronson Arroyo!! LOL!! I'd throw it out there if I were Ned.
Neddy and Mr.Smiley Phone are working on that at the moment jhall…….
Jhall – don't tease me like that – LOL!!!!! That would be sooo sweet if that happened.
Sorry to hear it Nelly. I'm not having that problem as much these days since I updated my computer to 1 gig of RAM!!! Just a thought and seems to be making a difference. I'm with you Kahli on Smoltz being a great influence for Billz and Kersh. Hell', he could also help Brox in the closer mentality!!! I would be OK with signing him, if the price is right. Hell', I don't care if the price is right, keeps Jamie and Frank from spending it on big fancy houses. LOL!!!
LMAO!! I can see Neddy on his Play-Skool phone as we speak!!! LOL Nelly, I think it would be way cool!!!
I think Ned may have recieved a Fed Ex package today with some new high tech equipment jhall…we will have to wait and see though…
Dodger4life – It's either that or something from Denny Hamlin – hahahahahaha!!!! Fed Ex shows up at my house for that reason 🙂
Jhall – It's too cool, and that is why it won't happen 🙂
Arroyo would actually be a good fit with the Dodgers. A wanna be rock star and surfer kind of dude. He could flourish in LA!!!
Isn't Arroyo going to require allot of Happy Meal vouchers jhall??? I agree he has the right mindset for L.A..
It would be good to see Arroyo in Dodger Blue Jhall. Maybe Ned can get it done.
The Reds would be open to offers for him as they want to dump salary. He could be had very reasonably in a risk vs reward scenario. I listen to and see alot of Reds baseball, and Arroyo has impressed me. Take him out of the band box ballpark and put him in a pitcher friendly park with a better than average offense, and I think he would do well. Just my opinion.
I would agree with you on that Jhall.
I'm hoping Ned actually reads our blog and at least explores the possibility. Lots of good suggestions and ideas have been posed on this blog. Most of the time our instincts are spot on!!! Nothing wrong with gathering info from a different angle on it.
Let's hope so Jhall. It is kind of weird not seeing the Dodgers mentioned in the trade rumors and such.
And I will add, part of his job is to put a team on the field that more people will get behind and come out to watch. What better way to guage what they will buy and support than to actually read and listen to what they are saying. Hell', there are people here offering opinions that have watched and followed baseball seriously since Ned was in diapers. They've seen what works and what doesn't.
Its kind of discouraging Nelly!!!
Very discouraging Jhall I agree, if they want to know what the fans are thinking, they don't need to go further than right here. We have some very, very informed fans on this blog, both young, old and in between.
Jhall I have been sleeping with one eye open at night wondering whether Neddy reads our post. You should see me react every time a squirrell runs the rooftop…LOL!!
Those squirrels get you everytime – LOL!!!!They love those pecans :)))
Hot Stove Action With Neddy
Act 5 (Neds Office)
Knock, Knock!
(Ned Collett)….Oh Boy is it refreshment time already…..(Opens the door)…. Fed Ex.. for a Mr. Oh excuse me…. Neddy. I'll just need you to sign here sir. (Ned breaks out the Big Purple Dinasour Pen)…and scribbles XOXO……Pasta Fagoli…. Another great big box, I wonder what the Big Guy has sent me this time, Mr Smiley Phone… (as he breaks out the Swiss Army Knife and cuts it open.) Holy Schmidt….this thing looks a little high tech….
It looks like there is another note from the Big Guy, I need to my secretary in here pronto, it is written in some kind of foriegn language. ( Ned bellows for down the hall for his Darling)
(Secretary)……..Yes!! Mr.Colletti!
(Ned Colletti)…..I need you to translate this here note from the Big Guy… It is in spanglish or something??
(Secretary)….Sure Neddy, Ahem…Mr. Colletti….It is just written in cursive though, nothing to translate, you'll be learning this script soon. (She looks at Ned with much disgust)
I think we should just set this gadget aside for now Neddy as this note was addressed from Swimmer, and was addressed to Treader.
(Ned Colletti)…….Swimmer, are we going to the pool today!! Oh Goody, you better bring me plenty of Capri Sun…You know how I get thirsty treading water in the deep end.
(Secretary)……No swimming today Mr . Colletti… Ahem Neddy, we have a scheduled trip to the wiffle ball park to get you up to date on the kind of movement that Joe Torre will require of his pitchers this season. You will be treading in the deep end soon enough though. yes Iwill pack you plenty of Capri Sun and Mr McCourt has authorized the use of 2 Happy Meal vouchers for the trip today. He also has a very special motivational tool coming to the office later in the day to get you pumped up for the upcoming negotiations, he said you will truly enjoy this one.
(Ned Colletti)….Oh Boy this job has more perks than Mr. Coffee…..I am ready to go to the Waffle Park, who is putting that thingy ma bob on the Boy Scouts…..I still remember the scout handshake….
Yes they do Nelly. I was thinking of lining up a bunch of toy soldiers at the edge of the roof so when the pecans roll down they will knock them off one by one. Have me some good ole toy soldier war games.
Well, maybe your toy soldiers can have conversations with the squirrels. They talk as much as kids do – LOL!!!!!
Congratulations to Mike Scioscia and Jim Tracy for awarded Managers of the Year!
The famous, articulate Commissioner of Baseball, Bud Selig, on the Dodger ownership mess:
?Look, the Dodgers are in good hands,? Selig said. ?There?s no reason to get into any debate about what?s going to happen. The Dodgers are going to be in L.A. for as long as any of us are alive and many generations after.?
Can someone please translate that for me? Am I supposed to feel good about the Dodgers chances of fielding a championship-caliber team in 2010 based on Buddy's comment? I'm not worried about the Dodgers leaving L.A. I'm worried about Frank and Jamie staying…
I guess the Dodgers have plenty of collision insurance through All State…….unlimited coverage???
Hot Stove Action With Neddy
Act 6
(Ned Colletti) (Returning from the wiffle ball park)…..Wow!! I am glad we discovered those guy's first…and to think we were going to go all the way to Asia for prospects when the waffle park is right here in our own backyard. I haven't seen movement like that since…. The snapping incident…..( You hear a big snap again)…Ha,ha…ah ha,ha…. got ya agian darling…..
(Secretary)……Now! Now! Neddy, ahem Mr.Colletti There will be no time for horseplay….Here is the new motivational tool from Mr. McCourt.
and it came with a video…..
(Ned Colletti)…..Whoo Hoo!! Now I can belt out all my favorite new tunes as well, such as…….Jamie's Got A Bun……Frank Stinks…..and Simply Unexcceptable!!
(Ned singing)……
Frank stinks.
Frank stinks, yeah yeah
(Frank stinks.)
Frank stinks, yeah yeah
(Frank stinks.)
Frank stinks, yeah yeah
(Frank stinks.)
Frank stinks, yeah yeah
(Secreary)….Mr.Colletti, Ahem, Neddy….Mr. McCourt is on line 1!
(Ned Colletti)…(scurries over to Mr. Smiley Phone)…Hello, Ned Colletti, Ahem I mean Neddy here.
(Secretary) ……No, No, Neddy! It's the the red phone on the desk the one without the smiley face and red string.
( Ned Colletti)…Hello again, this is Neddy…..
(Frank McCourt on other line)…Ned, Ahem I mean Neddy…I am coming down to your office in a minute with my Guitar so we can get you psyched out for the big day…..
(Ned Colletti) Okay Big Guy….I'll fire up the stove, and get her ready. (Ned hangs up the phone and bellows for his darling)
(Secretary)…Yes, Neddy!
(Ned Colletti)….Get that aesthetics coordinator down here STAT!!
have him paint me a smiley face and some little blue eyeballs on the red phone and tell him to put an extra 3 feet of red string on it for me.
Collie – We did see that article, and I believe many of us thought the same way…………………..lame is right.
Dodger4life – You are doing good 🙂
Kahli – Who's "good" hands might those be?
Collie – I time warped ya sir – sorry about that. As you can see, we are still having these problems as well 🙂
I don't know if anyone saw this tasty tidbit as I've not been able to keep up due to work. But it sure is lame…
But Selig sidestepped the question of what he would say to Dodger fans concerned about their ownership squabbles – the saying "Let them eat cake" comes to mind.
Good Morning everyone…………….
At last a rumor, Billingsley and others rumored in a trade for
Halladay, yeah right!!!
Blue Jays asking price possibly includes, a MLB roster starter with upside…..a starting pitching prospect, a catching prospect and a shortstop prospect…..make of it what you will…..
And that is only the beginning – meaning only one year of Halladay. Who's going to be prepared to step up and offer him the kind of multi-year contract that he'll require after that?
Halladay is a pipe dream for our team. I see us having a payroll even lower than we did in the last of the Fox years. And we thought that ownership was bad!
Toronto has said that they may provide clubs with a window to renegotiate Doc's contract. Although as you said we wonder if Frank has the fund's to acquire anyone of significant. With the ownership status in lingo, and the anticipated retirement of both Scully and Torre, you would think there is a sense of urgency in keeping the Dodgers in the play offs and obtaining a World Championship. The loss of Scully is in no doubt going to take some shine off of the product. Frank likes to gamble as can be seen from his past dealings, such as the parking lots and the accusition of our beloved club. Can you see him doubling down as things get tight???
Too bad South Park takes place in Colo. There could have been a great episode or two for us on there.
Dodgers add DeJesus, Robinson and Jansen to the 40 man roster protecting them from the rule 5 draft….
Agree, messagebear, Halladay is a pipe dream. But the more I think about it, the less I want hired guns and the more I want home-grown Dodgers to rise to the challenge. Cliff Lee brought the Phils exactly zero championships on '09…same as the Dodgers. From the moment the World Series ends…no one gives a rat's a** who won except that city…and that's fleeting, at best. NO MORE STOP-GAP PVLs. No more DeRosa. No more Smoltz. No more "whoever" to bail out Ned and Frank and Jamie for dropping the ball on scouting and player development. Personally I would rather have seen DeWitt play an entire season than Casey Blake. Personally, I would rather have seen Tony Abreu than Orlando Hudson.

Air Tahiti Nui VonZipper Trials - 32 TRIALS INVITEES PREPARE FOR THE RIDES OF THEIR LIVES!
(Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010) An elite field of 32 internationals have been invited to contest the prestigious Air Tahiti Nui VonZipper Trials scheduled to take place at the notorious break of "Teahupo'o" in Tahiti over four days beginning August 16th.
The Air Tahiti Nui VonZipper Trials is a precursor to stop 5 on the ASP Men's World Tour, the Billabong Pro, Tahiti and only the winner is guaranteed a wildcard seed direct into the Billabong Pro's elite main event. A second position is open to the highest placed local Tahitian surfer.
All surfers have been chosen based on previous performances at either Teahupo'o or abroad, and for their dedication to riding the world's most intimidating surf spots.
The nature of the Teahupo'o break and the intensity of competition make the competition like no other. In surfing circles, the trials winner is lauded as a minor hero – required to put his life on the line inside the huge barrels that break across dangerously shallow, tropical reef - and the respect earned from his peers is on par with the eventual champion of the main event.
From there, further glory lies in overcoming one of the Billabong Pro's top three seeds in Round 1 of the main event. In 2010 those seeds include current world ranked no. 1, Jordy Smith (Durban, ZAF), world ranked no. 2 Taj Burrow (WA, AUS) and world ranked no. 3 Kelly Slater (Fl, USA).
Historically, the Air Tahiti Nui VonZipper Trials champions have a habit of putting a dent in the world title campaigns of their top-seeded rivals. Most notably in 2007 when relative unknown Brazilian Bruno Santos and local wildcard Manoa Drollet went all the way to the final, finishing first and second respectively.
Drollet is a two-time trials winner at Teahupo'o and sits at the top of the wildcard heap. As a result, the 34 year-old has earned a seed direct into the main event in 2010.
Billabong Pro, Tahiti competition director and former world no. 2, Luke Egan (Gold Coast, AUS) says Drollet's performances at the infamous break surpass anything he has witnessed during his career as a competitor and previous four years as Contest Director.
"Manoa's surfing over the years at Teahupo'o is regularly above and beyond anything I have seen from any of the Top 45 rated men," said Egan.
"There is not one world rated surfer in the competition, from Kelly Slater down, who will risk holding back when Manoa is in the water. He is the proverbial cat amongst the pigeons at Teahupo'o. It's very probable that by having him in the competition he could knock out one of the top guys and it will affect the world title race."
Along with 32 internationals, an additional field of 32 local Tahitian surfers make up the total trials field of 64.
The VonZipper Air Tahiti Nui trials begins from August 16th.
A series of pre-event webisodes will be made available over coming days and weeks for websites. Stand by for further info.

Clarification of OGS Fee Increase
January 13, 2011
Erroneous Publication of an OGS Fee Increase
Just after the holidays, there was an erroneous statement published on a private blog that is causing concern. It was claimed that there is discussion within the Society of a further fee increase and that there was a notion to require OGS members to also be a member of their local branch.
On behalf of the Board and the Executive, I would like to inform our members that neither of these ideas has been discussed at this time.
As one of the Board's responsibilities, fees are discussed at least once a year. Any fee increase recommended must then be approved by the membership. The Board is not recommending a change to the fee structure for 2011. The fee will remain the same as in 2010.
As to requiring members to be a member of their local branch, this has not been recommended nor discussed.
I hope that this explanation clarifies all concerns. If there are any further questions regarding this matter, please feel free to contact me (firstname.lastname@example.com) or the Executive Director (email@example.com).
Nancy Trimble,
President, Ontario Genealogical Society

Rock Band 4?? Yes, Please!
In case you haven't heard the news, Harmonix announced today (at about 5:30 in the morning..) that they're ready for their encore! The Rock Bands games 1-3 were once a staple in friendly-get-together fun for gamers for years. It seemed the project was all but abandoned after the market was a little too saturated with at-home music games a few years ago, but we're very happy to hear it's been revived!
The new game will be released for current gen consoles (PS4 and Xbox ONE), however the good news is that if you have an older gen console of the same type, your DLCs and previous game codes should work for the new game and new console. This will not work for changing platforms (ie: going from PS3 to the Xbox ONE), but that's pretty understandable. Harmonix is also working with Mad Catz to get older instruments working with the new systems/game, but no promises have been made there yet.
They will be introducing new instruments for the new consoles. Details have not been formally announced yet, with the exception of a Penny Arcade-themed guitar. This special guitar will be available for pre-order if you visit the Harmonix booth at PAX East this weekend in person, and reserve it there. Info on the PAX East pre-order as well as general info on the RB4 announcement is available here:
