2009 was another great year for new Hard Rock and Heavy Metal albums and I was lucky to have heard a great many of them. There were hundreds of new albums released by hundreds of bands over a wide range of Metal genres, it was very hard to keep up especially when I'm spending my hard-earned cash! Unfortunately, I can't buy every new album so there are more than a few that I have missed. I am still very lucky to have many labels, PR firms, and bands sending in their CDs for review, to all of them I would like to extend a very grateful THANK YOU! Without these promotions I would have never heard some great releases and discovered some new bands. I have totalled up the CDs and there were 125 albums up for this year's honors!
The only criteria I followed for my Top 40 was that the album had to be a studio album, not a live record, best of, or covers collection AND the album had to be released in 2009. In the beginning of the year I decided that an album that was released in 2008, but was released in 2009 for the U.S., qualified as a 2009 album…..basically I went by the date on the back of the CD! There are plenty of albums that got late U.S. releases and there may be a few in this countdown.
The ranking of the Top 40 is based solely on my enjoyment of the album and not some scientific formula. Bottom Line: I had to like it! There were so many releases this year that I more than doubled the list this year so I will be splitting it into three posts. Be sure to check out the links to the album reviews. So here is part 2, my Top 40 Albums of 2009 (#11 – #25):
Ravage – The End Of Tomorrow (2009): Living in the New England area, there really isn't much of a local scene like there used to be, especially in Rhode Island, but there are a few bands worth checking out. Ravage has been a fixture on the Massachusetts scene for over a decade but this is only their second full-length album! With most bands on the local, and national, scene playing mostly Metalcore and/or Hardcore it's refreshing to hear a band play old school Traditional Metal. You could call this Power Metal too, maybe even Thrash in some spots. The bottom line here is that Ravage released a solid record that reminds me of my early '80s roots…..great to have another local band in this year's countdown.
Artillery – When Death Comes (2009): WHEN DEATH COMES was one of the biggest surprises of the year for me, as well as, one of the albums I was really looking forward to. Thrash is on a major comeback and it was good to hear a new Artillery album, this one with new lead singer Søren Nico Adamsen. I feel that Artillery has expanded their overall sound and added enough melodic touches to their Thrash base to make this album even better than expected. I didn't take WHEN DEATH COMES out of my regular weekly rotation until mid-November so I really spent a lot of time with it and it hasn't disappointed.
Slayer – World Painted Blood (2009): Any year with a new Slayer album is a good year and anytime you get a new Slayer album then you know it's going to be good. I'll be the first to admit that I'm not the biggest Slayer fan but I have been following the band since the early '80s. 2009 was a year for me to fill all the holes in my Slayer collection and give the entire catalog a serious listen. Then the new album was released and I've given that all my attention. The more I listen to WORLD PAINTED BLOOD, the more I like it. It's brutal, heavy, and dangerous…..just like a Slayer album should be!
Bloodbound – Tabula Rasa (2009): The only reason I picked this album up because Urban Breed (ex-Tad Morose, current Pyramaze) was the lead singer. Besides Urban, I knew nothing about Bloodbound but TABULA RASA turned out to be a great buy! I'd call this heavy Power Metal incorporating great guitarwork, a solid rhythm section and, of course, awesome vocals. This is more or less a concept album with most of the songs having the tabula rasa (Latin for "blank slate") idea but each song stands out on there own. Another big surprise for 2009 and an album I have kept in my weekly rotation for most of the year.
Mastodon – Crack The Skye (2009): I only started listening to Mastadon in 2006 with BLOOD MOUNTAIN so I'm not as familiar with the band's style as others might be. I'm not going to lie…..I had a hard time getting into this album at first, I just couldn't wrap my head around the wall of sound that Mastodon is. I bought this when it was released and gave it serious listening time but I didn't get it. After letting it sit and coming back to it, I get it! Mastodon is going to be like Dream Theater for me where I have to stop listening and then come back later for more, especially with Mastodon as they continue to evolve their sound from album to album. I didn't rank this as high as other websites' but this is definitely one of the year's best.
Candlemass – Death Magic Doom (2009): When Messiah Marcolin left Candlemass again in 2006 I didn't think that a new record would be anything short of a letdown. That's why I passed on 2007's KING OF THE GREY ISLANDS. I picked this album up because the sale price was right and I figured I'd check out what the band sounded like with their current vocalist Robert Lowe (Solitude Aeturnus). One listen to 'Hammer Of Doom' and I was hooked into the pure Doom influenced by Ozzy-era Black Sabbath…..after that, I was hooked. Robert Lowe puts in a great performance and the band hasn't lost a step…..another great surprise for me in 2009 and definitely in the Top 20.
Stryper – Murder By Pride (2009): I only bought MURDER BY PRIDE because I have been a Stryper fan since the early '80s and I still support the bands I grew up with. I had a lot of doubts about this album because the band's last album, REBORN (2005), was awful. Then there is the Boston connection, lead vocalist/guitarist Michael Sweet now fronting the Classic Rock band…..I wasn't sure about a cover of the Boston classic 'Peace Of Mind' being added to a new Stryper record. Talk about a comeback, Stryper does a complete about-face and shelves the grungy sound they used on REBORN for a return to their classic melodic '80s sound. The difference between 2009 and 1983-1990 is that the overall religious message isn't constantly crammed into the listener, the message is still there but it's more subtle. Stryper had me singing along almost right away and that's always a good sign…..and the Boston cover? It's pretty good!
U.D.O. – Dominator (2009): If you're an old school Metal fan, then you should be an Accept fan. If you're an Accept fan, then being an U.D.O. fan is basically the same thing. Udo Dirkscheider continues to fly the Accept flag through his namesake by playing uncompromising Traditional Heavy Metal that is always high quality. Every year U.D.O. releases a new record you know exactly what you're going to get and DOMINATOR is definitely follows the same path as other U.D.O. albums. It's great to have a veteran band that's consistent year in and year out releasing solid Metal albums, now if they could just find a better album cover for this one!
Outloud – We'll Rock You To Hell And Back Again! (2009): First let's settle the confusion on the album title. The band's label, Frontiers Records, lists this as "Self-titled" or "Outloud" but there is the title of "We'll Rock You to Hell And Back Again!" above the band logo on the album cover. Which is it? The Metal websites & blogs are split down the middle and so are the online retailers. All year I went with "s/t" but I will use what's on the album cover for this list. Back to the music…..remember the late '80s? Outloud does! This album is a heavy melodic Hard Rock record that is full of hooks and bombastic arena tailored riffs…..fans of Dokken, Europe, early Bon Jovi and definitely Riot will all like this. I had this ranked higher but it fell as other albums moved up, I wouldn't be surprised to see this on a lot of year end lists.
Jorn Lande – Spirit Black (2009): I swear that everything Jorn Lande does is near perfect! Doesn't matter if it's with Masterplan, Ark, solo or part of projects, Jorn always puts in a masterful performance. It's hard to believe that SPIRIT BLACK is Jorn's seventh studio album in ten years but he just keeps releasing album after album of great Metal. SPIRIT BLACK is a record that still has a ton of melody and hooks but a lot heavier, more Heavy Metal. When I was putting this list together, Jorn Lande was an obvious choice…..just listen to that voice, he's becoming one of my favorite singers alongside Halford, Dio, Turner, Hughes, Bonnet, Soto and D.C. Cooper.
Helix – Vagabond Bones (2009): This is one of the biggest surprises of 2009! I only picked up VAGABOND BONES a few weeks ago but it has been the most played album on a daily basis ever since. Helix always puts out consistently good albums and I have to give Brian Vollmer credit for following his musical formula and keeping everything sounding fresh. Sure, the Helix sound is rooted in AC/DC and the big '80s but isn't that what's so good about them? VAGABOND BONES is an absolutly fun record with a ton of hooks that had me singing right along almost immeadiately. Some of the great songs here are 'Go Hard Or Go Home', 'Jack It Up' and 'Vagabond Bones'. Go to the excellent PlanetHelix to give this album a listen and then go buy it!
Primal Fear – 16.6 (Before The Devil Knows You're Dead) (2009): The best thing Primal Fear did in the last few years was to expand their Power Metal sound by adding in a lot of different melodic styles. They did it with NEW RELIGION in 2007 and they have continued with 16.6. You've got serious heavy metal with 'Riding The Eagle' and then melodic balladry with 'Black Rain' moving into more traditional Metal on 'Killbound'. Basically, Primal Fear keeps you guessing as to what's next and the expansion of their overall sound makes them more diverse and exciting then a lot of other Power Metal bands crowding the scene. This album took a few listens to take hold but it became one of my favorite albums of the year and stayed in the weekly rotation for most of 2009.
Kreator – Hordes Of Chaos (2009): The best Thrash album of 2009 without a doubt! I've had HORDES OF CHAOS since mid-December 2008 when the kind people at SPV sent me a promo and I have been playing it regularly for the entire year. I know that Megadeth, Slayer and Artillery all released great Thrash albums this year but kreator set the bar high early on and no one has matched it. The intensity is there, the blistering guitar is there, the brutality is there too but what sets HORDES OF CHAOS apart is that Kreator wasn't afraid to expand their Thrash formula and add in some melodic flourishes to the overall sound. I hope we don't have to wait another four years again between new Kreator albums.
Praying Mantis – Sanctuary (2009): SANCTUARY is one of the big reasons why 2009 was such a great year for music, it was one of those albums that came out of nowhere and was just excellent. I grew up with bands from the NWOBHM so I know all about Praying Mantis but I really didn't expect much from the band 20+ years after I discovered them. SANCTUARY is one of the best AOR/Melodic Rock albums of the year…..there are enough fast songs, mid-tempo songs and ballads that blend together to create a diverse wall of sound filled with melody and hooks a plenty. Current singer Mike Freeland puts in as smooth and effortless performance as Joe Lynn Turner would and the music is striking in it's power and beauty. Tino and Chris Troy have kept the Praying Mantis flag flying and SANCTUARY is one of their crown jewels…..I certainly enjoyed this album all year long and it just barely missed out on the Top 10.
FarCry – High Gear (2009): Another band, and album, that came out of nowhere to really captivate my attention and turn in one of the best Melodic Rock albums of 2009! FarCry is a new band and HIGH GEAR is an awesome debut filled with some of the best '80s styled AOR/Melodic Rock I've heard in a long time with big harmonies, hooks and guitars. The music reminds me of classic Danger Danger, Tyketto, Firehouse and Warrant with a bit of Survivor and Journey mixed in. Sounds like good music? It is. Bottom line is FarCry isn't reinventing the wheel here, their sound is easily 20+ years old for a new band, but they do this kind of music extremely well…..they have great songwriting, good performances, and huge production. HIGH GEAR is one of the best purchases I made this year and it just missed my Top 10. Well worth checking out, I've listened to it daily for months!

There will be four categories:
- Opening batsmen (2)
- Middle order batsmen (4)
- Wicketkeeper (1)
- Bowlers (4)
- For the all rounders, keep in mind the desired role you want for them and select them in that category.
You may wish to vote for players other than the ones I list.
We'll start with the openers, please select two of the following:
Sunil Gavaskar

Croatia improved their record to 2-3, while Kazakhstan ended the first round without a win.The effective blocking of the Croatian side was one of the keys for the victory as they established a 9-3 margin in that category. Maja Poljak was the best scorer for Croatia with 12 points while Sanja Popovic and Ivana Milos added 11 and 10 respectively. Olga Drobyshevskaya notched 12 for Kazakhstan.After Kazakhstan dropped four straight points early on to fall three points behind at 6-3, coach Nelli Chsherbakova called a timeout to settle her players down. Sana Jarlagassova stopped the rot temporarily at 3-7, but the Croatians were spiking well and were better organised than their opponents. Sanja Popovic landed some hefty blows for Croatia, but all their attackers made good contributions. Kazakhstan struggled through the mid-section of the first set, but Jarlagassova and Olga Drobyshevskaya brought them back into the game, and they were able to pull back from 10-18 to within three points at 21-18 after a service ace by Korinna Ishimtseva. Two tip-overs by Popovic gave Croatia the advantage again, a long serve by Drobyshevskaya brought up set-point and a weak spike by Poljak was enough to put Croatia one set up. A similar pattern continued at the start of the second set, with Croatia spiking strongly – Mia Jerkov and Senna Usic Jogunica to the fore – and Kazakhstan making errors. But after falling five points back at the first technical timeout, Kazakhstan dug in with Drobyshevskaya contributing three good shots and Ishimtseva adding a service ace. With Kazakhstan closing to within two points at 12-10, Croatian coach Miroslav Aksentijevic called a timeout and his players then eased out to a four-point margin at the second TTO. Some poor play by Kazakhstan stretched Croatia's lead to seven points, prompting Chsherbakova to haul her players off court again. Drobyshevskaya came up with a huge hit and a fabulous block on Usic Jogunica, and Ishimtseva blocked Jerkov as Kazakhstan staged a late, but futile rally. Big hits by Usic Jogunica and Popovic ended the set and put Croatia 2-0 up. Croatia went off the boil at the beginning of set three and Kazakhstan found themselves three points clear at the first TTO. Ivana Milos helped bring Croatia back into the set with successive first-time shots at the net and three points earned from great defence brought them level at 12-12. They went ahead on a service ace by Milos and were four points ahead at the second TTO. Their eight-point run ended with a spike by Matveyeva, and Jarlagassova followed up with a monster hit. But Poljak responded in kind and Marina Miletic followed up with an impressive block on Matveyeva to give Croatia some breathing space. A spike by Milos brought up match-point and Ana Grbac sealed the win after winning a face-off at the net with Yuliya Kutsko.

VANCOUVER, B.C. -- The demographic of aging adults combined with the urgent need to control health care costs is fueling demand for walking trails, wellness and fitness centers and activity programs, according to research reported in "Active Aging in America, Residential and Commercial Fitness."
The active aging industry refers to builders and housing, government and social services, private fitness businesses and equipment manufacturers, said Colin Milner, CEO of International Council on Active Aging (ICAA), which published the report.
"These organizations are united by their need to find, serve and retain their older clients," he said.
Today, there are an estimated 77 million baby boomers (born 1946 to 1964) and more than 36 million people ages 65 and older. Older adults control the most wealth in the United States, and the baby boomers alone account for over $2 trillion in consumer spending each year. The aging population is a significant demographic with buying power.
Older adults dealing with chronic disease also impact health care spending. People over 65 accounts for one-third of the $300 billion health care expenditures in the United States, an amount expected to increase 25 percent by 2030 unless health promotion activities are successful. Since physical activity, healthy eating and a positive outlook are well-documented ways to improve health and quality of life, governments and private businesses are prioritizing physical fitness and wellness initiatives.
"Companies that do a good job of servicing the older adult are in the growth phase because there is a market for quality services," said Milner "In health clubs, adults 55+ are the fastest growing membership segment. The newest lines of equipment feature easier access and simpler displays to appeal to older adults. The data in the report shows these are all growth areas. The only segment of the industry that is not growing is skilled nursing facilities."

Jon Stewart slammed Republican Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham on The Daily Show Wednesday night for what he painted as hypocritical opposition to the confirmation of Chuck Hagel as the nation's next Secretary of Defense.
Stewart first took on Graham, who he mocked with a ridiculous fake Southern accent.
Then he moved on to McCain, hitting him for "hypocrisy" because McCain did not support Congressional investigations into the Iraq War despite repeatedly calling for ones into the September terrorist attacks on the U.S. mission in Benghazi.
"No, McCain. You don't get to pull the 'four-dead-Americans' [expletive]," Stewart said. "You lost that privilege over a period of, I don't know, the Iraq War — which I believe the casualty count for was Benghazi times 1,000."
Stewart played clips of McCain defending the call to go to war with Iraq and opposing Congressional investigation, saying "mistakes have been made — they've been well- chronicled."
Stewart also hit McCain for "junior-high-school level pettiness" in opposing Hagel, pointing to his assertion in an interview last week that "people don't forget" that Hagel called President George W. Bush the "worst president since Herbert Hoover."
In the end, Stewart said McCain had become the "antithesis" of his 2008 presidential campaign slogan, "Country First."
"Blocking a Secretary of Defense nominee who has absolutely nothing to do with the target of your current rediscovered outrage at American deaths overseas, whilst also copping to maybe a little personal payback, is the antithesis of your stated campaign slogan," Stewart said.

"Tosh.O," it was recently reported, is currently Comedy Central's No. 1 show, beating even "The Daily Show," the network's marquee program.
We're fans of "Tosh.O," which is hosted by comedian Daniel Tosh, and features him riffing on wacky Internet videos (a disproportionate number of which feature scenes of men getting hit where it hurts most).
His humor is broad and tends toward the sarcastic – definitely far more snarky than the show's gentler, spiritual grandfather, "Candid Camera," which got laughs with set up gags.
Both Tosh and the old Allen Funt-hosted show came to mind this week with the debut of a couple prank videos that show there's ample room for quirky, almost performance art-like humor on the Web.
In a video for Funny or Die, Jewel finds her inner Susan Boyle by going undercover at a karaoke bar as an office frau named "Karen."
The beautiful singer donned a wig, glasses, prosthetic nose and a padded pants suit. When she reluctantly takes the stage after much prodding from actors playing her co-workers, she blows away the crowd, singing her own hits. "Honey, with a voice like that it doesn't matter how pretty you are. You can be an ugly girl with a voice like that and you'll get" a lot of sex, one woman told "Karen."
Meanwhile, the folks at Improve Everywhere – who previously invaded the New York Public Library in "Ghostbuster" outfits and became human statues in Grand Central Terminal during rush hour – released a "Star Wars"-themed video that takes place on an urban Death Star of sorts: the New York City subway system.
An actress dressed as Princess Leia get on the G train and flips open a book called, "Galactic Rebellion for Dummies." Subsequent stops bring Storm Troopers, and ultimately, Darth Vader, onto the car. Straphangers laugh and take their own pictures and videos as the costumed Leia and Vader re-enact the characters' meeting from the original "Star Wars."
Both videos have clever conceits, provide a few laughs and let the prank victims in on the joke. The shorts are fine examples of using the Web to bring a whimsical touch of the surreal to the masses, whose in-person reactions are a big part of the show.
Not even Tosh could make too much fun of these efforts, which you can check out below:

We figure that if the whole is only as good as the sum of its parts, let's start with the freshest ingredients of the highest quality. Here, we celebrate sustainability and the organic operation by purchasing as many fresh, local,
and seasonal ingredients as we can get our hands on.
Focusing on items produced and procured locally not only supports the local economy; it also creates a distinctive menu that changes according to seasonal availability.
We use all-natural, free-range, grass-fed beef and pasture-raised hogs from Bradds Family Farm inClimax, NC. Our fresh milk, cream, and butter, all of which are free of hormones and anitbiotics, are provided by Homeland Creamery in Julian, NC. The goat cheese is from the Goat Lady Dairy in Climax, NC. Our all-natural, free-range eggs come from Eggman Eggs in PleasantGarden, NC. We receive much of our local, organic produce from Faucett Farm in Browns Summit, NC, as well as from other local farmers, letting the season dictate available selections. Fresh herbs are often picked from the beds right outside our door.
The cornerstone of the pizza, the dough, is prepared fresh in-house using locally milled, organic flour from Lindley Mills in Eli Whitney, NC. We use a slow fermentation process, producing a dough with greater character and flavor development. We also add just a touch of toasted wheat bran for a heartier, more nutritious pizza. The result is artisan pizza dough that is unique and nutritious and proudly supports whatever wholesome toppings you select. Pizzas are baked in an oven that is solely wood-burning – no gas or electricity – with an average temperature of 700 degrees. We not only recycle cans and bottles, but we also use paper products made from recycled materials.
Money received from recycled cans is donated to a deserving charity or person each month. Our recycled pizza boxes are stamped with an all-natural vegetable ink. In an effort to save paper, our Come Pick Me Up menu is available exclusively online. Though the effort of using local and organic products is slightly greater, it seems to us to be the most appropriate and mindful thing to do. Our aim is to provide the community with delicious, healthful food; to support local, regional, and sustainable agriculture; to be a good neighbor; to foster laughter, friendship, and sharing; and to pass along the notion of the importance of this simple philosophy.

Yea, Ice Cream hoodie, Bathing Ape tennis shoes

Note on the table, pay me or they go
You can't get the cash then pay me in yayo
Save me the drama don't go run and snitch
If that's your mama then I'll murk you right in front of that bitch
Im a Young Money, Cash Money, Universal soldier
Watch out Ms. Sylvia, I'm kinda feelin' ya, ha
I'm a headache, but they love the pain
I ask a bitch her name and tell her go board the plane
I'm so sure I know more, I'm so more than Wayne
I know whores that know whores that's always with some more whores
You owe whores, I show whores, I grow whores

Devin Hester showed again Sunday why he's the NFL's most dangerous return man. He also showed why he might be mentioned along with current receiving greats one day as well.
Devin Hester showed again Sunday why he's the NFL's most dangerous return man.
He also showed why he might be mentioned along with current receiving greats one day as well.
That's the plan, and consensus, talking to the Bears and their second-year wonder from Miami, Fla.
Hester hauled in a 55-yard bomb from Kyle Orton on a streak route for a touchdown that put Chicago ahead 24-14 with 1:48 to go in the first half. Less than three minutes after played resumed after intermission, he broke off a 64-yard punt return for a 31-17 cushion that helped the Bears beat New Orleans 33-25 and eliminate the Saints from playoff contention.
Hester broke his own NFL record with his sixth return via punt or kickoff for a score in a single season. He had five combined last year. He also led Chicago with eight touchdowns this season.
His touchdown reception was his second this season, and it might just be a preview of things for him as an offensive weapon.
"Of course I'm ready to step up to the challenge," he said about becoming a No. 1 receiver. "I feel I stepped up to the challenge when my name was called, and I'm hoping to continue to be called on."
His name, appropriately, should be on offensive coordinator Ron Turner's speed dial beginning with offseason minicamps.
"He can do about anything he wants to do," Turner said. "I look forward to that in the offseason, for him to take another step. He moved over this offseason (from defense), and slowly and gradually learned the position.
"Now, going into the offseason, we'll give him an opportunity to do that and refine his skills. He was learning from scratch."
The way Turner and Hester's teammates see it, Hester's barely scratched the surface of what he's capable of doing.
Said center Olin Kreutz: "I've never been around anybody like that on special teams and offense. He caught the punt, took one step up field and I just turned around and walked to the bench because I knew he was gone. It was just one of most amazing things I've ever seen."
You might not have seen anything yet, at least as a receiver.
"When all is said and done, I feel I gradually got better as a game-wise player," said Hester, who became the first player in NFL history with two 600-plus yard punt return seasons (600 in 2006; 651 in 2007). "That's what I wanted to get better at, just being kind of consistent on the offensive side.
"At the beginning of the season, I knew whoever knows football, they knew I wasn't going to come in and explode on the scene. Offense takes time, especially coming from a player who never played offense. It's going to take time."
Harris: Keep Briggs
Alex Brown tried to weigh his words carefully when asked if the Bears should re-sign free-agent Pro Bowl linebacker Lance Briggs, but fellow defensive lineman Tommie Harris wouldn't let him.
"I don't know. He's one heck of a player," Brown told a crowd of reporters Sunday after Chicago's 33-25 win over the Saints.
"Would you keep him," Harris shouted from one locker over.
"No question, I'd keep him," Brown said. "But for what he is going to require to be kept, it's going to be hard."
"There is more than enough money," Harris interrupted.
"I don't know how much money the team's got," Brown said, "so I don't know how that stuff works."
"You know what the salary cap is," Harris said.
"I know the salary cap goes up a little bit," Brown said.
"They can afford everybody," Harris said.
"It will definitely be stretching it thin," Brown said, trying to sound convinced, "but to keep 55 definitely should be a priority. He is one of the best defensive players in the league. He should be rewarded."
Harris ends strong
Harris, banged up for most of the year, said he felt so healthy Sunday he didn't even wear a knee brace for the first time in weeks and tried to get back in the game to prevent the Saints' final touchdown with 13 seconds left.
"I wanted to fight with my team," Harris said. "They wouldn't let me go at the end. We had them down at our 10 and they wouldn't let me back in under 2 minutes. I begged them. I went in there and got thrown down on one play. I wanted to be out there and enjoy this game."
Future mailing addresses
Special teams standout Brendon Ayanbadejo and wideout Bernard Berrian talked as if they definitely want to remain Bears. They are unrestricted free agents.
"I wouldn't be surprised at all," Ayanbadejo said of being back. "I think I make an impact here. I have a firm foot on the ground not only in the community but as part of this team. I am what the Chicago Bears embody as a player off the field. I think I'm a role model not only for my teammates but the city of Chicago."
"Not yet," Berrian said when asked if he'd thought about his contract situation. "Probably when I get back home I will sit and talk about it with my family.
"I really like Chicago. I don't want to go. I hate having to pick up and move. I love the Chicago fans to death."
Urlacher on the mark
Linebacker Brian Urlacher became the third Bear with five sacks and five interceptions in the same season since 1982, when sacks began to be recorded. Dave Duerson had seven sacks and six picks and Wilbur Marshall had 5.5 sacks and five picks, both in 1986.
"It's good to see Brian Urlacher -- a guy who's played as well as anyone at the linebacker position these last couple of weeks -- it's good to see him do that," Bears coach Lovie Smith said.
Failing to catch on
Chicago's Adrian Peterson needed six catches to tie Thomas Jones' team mark of 56 single-season receptions for a running back set in 2004. Peterson had one catch to finish with 51.
Passing fancy
Adrian Peterson's touchdown pass to Bernard Berrian was Chicago's first by a non-quarterback since punter Brad Maynard to throw a scoring strike (Dec. 1, 2002, 12 yards to Dustin Lyman at Green Bay). Edgar Bennett was the last Bear back to throw a touchdown pass (Oct. 14, 1998, 18 yards to Chris Penn against Detroit).
Falling shy
Wideout Muhsin Muhammad needed 95 yards receiving the final two games to reach 10,000 for his career. He was blanked against Green Bay the week before, and had 29 yards on three catches Sunday.
Muhammad began Sunday's play ninth among active receivers with 9,905 yards receiving, and he now has 9,934 yards.
You're out of here
Chicago began the weekend first in the NFL in forcing three-and-outs (61 for 198, 30.8 percent). Seven of the Saints' 16 possessions Sunday ended in three plays or fewer without scoring.
Something to kick about
Robbie Gould led the NFL in scoring the previous six weeks with 60 points (16-of-17 field goals, 12-of-12 PATs). He added seven points Sunday, including 1-for-1 on field goals.
Notes, numbers
The Bears lead the overall series 14-11, including 9-6 in Chicago. ... The Saints fell to 10-6 on the road under coach Sean Payton. ... New Orleans had won seven of its previous 11 games.
Rex Grossman was Chicago's third quarterback, while S Josh Gattis, G/C Josh Beekman, WR Mike Hass, LB Darrell McClover, DT Darwin Walker, TE Fontel Mines and WR Brandon Rideau were inactive.
That meant LB Lance Briggs and DE Mark Anderson were activated. Israel Idonije again started for Walker.
Deactivated for New Orleans were Tyler Palko (third QB), Robert Meachem, Jay Bellamy, Reggie Bush, Matt McCoy, Andy Alleman, Jermon Bushrod and Orien Harris.

I gave the arcade worker a print copy of the solution yesterday and he tried it while making a new card and. it didn't work. The card he took out didn't work. what happened?
I already lost my FT Spirit and 500k RX8.
During the inspection and it gets stuck. Even if you take the card thats being written on, won't the next card get stuck? I had gotten 5 copys of invalid rx7's and rx8's. Machine works fine when you don't buy or inspect cards. Ugh. i need someone to explain it to me.
Question: I might go to the mall and check the cardreader. Does it help if i take the stack of cards and move some of the ones on the top?

I noticed a small red light next on one of the card slots. Does that mean lack of ink?

From what I know, V3 cards dont run out of ink. The cards are heat-activated.

Probably far far too late to this thread for it to be worth a damn, but some info for anyone still using idas1-3 machines in the wild:-
1- The key that opens initial d card readers is a standard sega arcade cabinet key (the same for all locks on all sega cabs everywhere, only coin box keys are unique). You can source these keys on eBay or from places like riverservice in japan.
2- So long as the machine reads your card data ok, any jam is a recoverable problem, just don't turn off the machine. Clear the jam, make sure the mechanism is clean, make sure the card dispenser has cards and reseat them etc.
3- The card readers don't use ink, they have a thermal printer inside (it literally burns the print onto the card).

Just have to post and say that I am eternally grateful that there is a solution to my worst fear!
Myself and a few friends are new to the game and have heard of the dreaded card inhalation problem apparent on virtually all the cabinets. With this information I will not live in fear of losing any of the data I have collected now!

Pippa Middleton finishes Swedish marathon, Pippa Middleton completes 90-km cross-country marathon in Sweden, Kate Middleton's sister finished 412th amongst 15,800 in the Vasaloppet cross-country skiing race. ippa Middleton has completed a 90-kilometre cross-country ski marathon in Sweden — taking a respectable 412th place in the women's category.
The sister of the Duchess of Cambridge finished the Vasaloppet ski race in 7 hours, 13:36 minutes, alongside 15,800 competitors in bright sunshine.
Middleton told Swedish broadcaster SVT she had only prepared for the race for "a couple of weekends" and admitted it was tiring.
Pippa and her brother James, who clocked 06:47:27, raced to raise money for children's charity Magic Breakfast.
The competition is one of the world's oldest cross-country races and is based on Gustav Vasa's attempt to gather peasants for a revolt against occupying Danes in 1522.
The winner finished in 3 hours, 38.41 minutes.

NEWS- 'Hoo coup: Two Cavs chosen in NFL Draft's first round
Backstage at New York's Radio City Music Hall, with cameras tracking his every facial expression, UVA fourth-year defensive end and St. Anne's-Belfield alum Chris Long anxiously awaited the call that would determine his professional football fate. With the first pick, the Miami Dolphins had already signed Michigan offensive lineman Jake Long (no relation to Chris) days earlier, making their choice a foregone conclusion, so the eyes of football fans everywhere were locked on Chris as the St. Louis Rams' front office deliberated whom to choose with the #2 overall pick.
With five minutes to go before the Rams had to make their choice, a phone rang, and Long's adrenaline began pumping. But it was a friend of mother Diane ringing on her cell phone. Moments later, in the middle of an interview with ESPN and before a national television audience, a jittery Long smiled and gently admonished his mother.
"Good job, Mom," he said. "It's called vibrate."
Almost immediately it was official: NFL commissioner Roger Goodell announced, "With the second pick in the 2008 NFL Draft, the St. Louis Rams select Chris Long."
There was plenty of history packed into that pick. Long is the highest Cavalier ever chosen in the draft in the Super Bowl era, and the highest since running back Bill Dudley went #1 overall in 1942. And as father and Pro Football Hall of Famer Howie hugged his son, Chris became only the fifth son of a Hall of Famer to be drafted into the NFL.
As Long, dapper in a blue pin-stripe suit, strode onstage to shake hands with the commissioner, his teammate, UVA third-year offensive lineman Branden Albert, glued to the TV at home in Edgewood, Maryland, still had to wait.
Some had speculated he might go as the 12th pick to the Denver Broncos, who are in need of an offensive lineman.
"With the 12th pick in the 2008 NFL Draft, the Denver Broncos select Ryan Clady, tackle, Boise State."
Perhaps Albert would get to keep wearing orange and blue– as a member of the Chicago Bears, who had the 14th pick?
"With the 14th pick in the 2008 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears select Chris Williams, offensive tackle, Vanderbilt."
Next on the board were the Detroit Lions. They needed a running back, possibly a linebacker. Not much chance of Albert getting any relief with this selection. But then, as always seems to happen on Draft Day, came an unexpected development.
"The Detroit Lions have traded their choice."
Just then, Albert's home phone rang, as he got the news along with the rest of the football world.
"With the 15th pick in the 2008 NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs select Branden Albert."
A relieved Albert, a 6' 5" 309-pound lineman, hung up the phone, rubbed his head as if to wake himself from a dream, and as his family applauded, breathed a large sigh of relief.
It's only the second time that two Cavaliers have been chosen in the first round. The last time was 1997– at the zenith of the George Welsh era– when linebacker James Farrior went to the New York Jets as the eighth pick, and defensive end Jon Harris landed with the Philadelphia Eagles as the 25th selection.
The moment was especially poignant for UVA head football coach Al Groh, who recruited both Albert and Long away from more prestigious programs to play at UVA.
"Program-wise, it gives us confirmation and makes us feel good that we've allowed our players to live up to their full potential," Groh told reporters. "They're great success stories."
Both Long and Albert will get the chance to show their worth early in the season. Albert's debut protecting his quarterback for the Chiefs comes on the road against the New England Patriots, who sacked the opposing QB 80 times on the way to winning 18 consecutive games. The following week, Long's Rams face off against the offensive line that beat the Patriots' formidable defense in the Super Bowl, the New York Giants.

Mount Saint Mary College professors on sabbatical
take on a variety of academic adventures, both at home and abroad,
to brush up the knowledge they share with students.
Stanley Pycior (left), a longtime Mount history professor, spent
weeks poring over the League of Nations archives in Geneva,
Switzerland. It was the experience of a lifetime for the dedicated
"While working in the archives, I took a self-portrait and
noticed the painting of [United States President] Woodrow Wilson
behind me," Pycior noted, realizing, "He was looking over my
shoulder as I reviewed League records."
In 1918, Wilson, hoping to avoid the bloodshed of another World
War, outlined 14 points for world peace. The League of Nations,
formed in 1920, was based on Wilson's ideas, including his final
point: "A general association of nations must be formed under
specific covenants for the purpose of affording mutual guarantees
of political independence and territorial integrity to great and
small states alike." The organization was a forerunner to the
United Nations.
Ironically, America did not join the League, leaving Wilson
Back in the United States, education professor Frances
Spielhagen spent her sabbatical as a visiting scholar in residence
at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, VA. She crafted
a longitudinal study involving her former high school students, now
approximately 30 years old.
"When I was their teacher, I involved them in problem-based
service learning activities that resulted in significant community
problem solving," she explained. "I have been interviewing these
young people to determine the possible effects of their involvement
in my classes and this specific project on their lives as young
adults, their civic engagement, and their attitudes toward
community involvement."
As adults, all of the former students perform regular community
"They attest to the importance of the
service learning activities they did in my classes," said
Spielhagen (pictured at right looking over the shoulder of a Thomas
Jefferson statue, in the Colonial Williamsburg restoration).
Spielhagen also conducted a seminar for doctoral students at
William and Mary, detailing content analysis of qualitative
interviews; and presented her emerging research on the longitudinal
effects of service learning at the annual meeting of the American
Educational Research Association in San Francisco, Calif. She spoke
on various topics at the University of Muenster in Germany, and at
the Association for Middle Level Education in Portland, Ore.
During her research, the writing bug bit Spielhagen. She revised
and enhanced her book, "Debating Single Sex Education," to be
published in July 2013, and served as editor-in-chief of Middle
Grades Research Journal.
She also co-edited a book based on three of the Mount's Center
for Adolescent Research and Development conferences, along with
psychology professor Paul Schwartz. The book, titled "Adolescence
in the 21st Century: Constants and Challenges," and containing
chapters written by several Mount scholars, will be published this
"I have been grateful for this sabbatical as a time of study and
research," noted Spielhagen. "It will inform my practice as a
Sociology professor Margaret Bussigel stayed close to home
during her sabbatical, engaged in research.
In addition to developing an honors
component to the introduction to sociology course at Mount Saint
Mary College, Bussigel completed an analysis of Medicaid data over
the last five years, and surveys of providers and homeless clients.
The project was funded by the Department of Social Services on
homelessness in Orange County, NY.
She also designed a new program for adolescents who have been

Professor Dog: What Up Dog hits the Mall
Tom Jakubowski isn't the only person with a hot dog cart on the Downtown Mall, but he's probably the only one with a degree from Hot Dog University.
"I've wanted to do this for years," says Jakubowski, who opened his What Up Dog hot dog cart on the Mall just a week ago. "And then I saw something about Hot Dog University on CBS Good Morning, and decided to give it a try."
During the Chicago-based two-day intensive course, dubbed "the Harvard of encased meats" by CBS, Jakubowski learned what's called "the art of the cart." But cooking and restaurants were already in his blood.
When Dish visited, his sister, Susan Jakubowski-Ostrowski, was lending a hand. The two grew up in the restaurant biz, as their father owned the Roy Rogers on Preston Avenue, where Bodos is now.
Jakubowski wanted to open his cart, which is parked in front of the Downtown Regal, last year, but a car accident interrupted his plans. But he's full steam ahead, serving up jumbo gourmet dogs from Boar's Head meats, along with 25 different toppings, nestled in buns from Chandler's Bakery. He also had his shiny, stainless steel cart custom-made in Arizona.
"I bet there's no one else on the Mall who has to cut their rolls before putting the hot dogs in," he says.
Indeed, the jumbo dogs are tasty, the condiments unique and many, and Jakubowski, in his bright white chef's smock, looks the part of an artist of the cart.

Congratulations Tom!
I know ââ?¬Å?What Up Dogs" have got to be the best dogs in C-Ville not just on the mall. I can't wait until Crystal and I can get out there to check them out.
Best wishes,
Way to go Tom,
I can't wait to swing by and grab a bite.
Best of Luck and may the sun be shining
during business hours.
Hey dude, cant wait to taste your dogs!! Can you tell me your 25 condiments, I cant think for the life of me of 25 items and the folks at my work are asking!!!
Hope to see you soon
Like everything you do, What Up Dog is a class act.
I'm so very proud of you and wish you health, happiness, and success.
Take care.

It's been almost 4 years since SQL Server 2000 hit the street. With it, Microsoft unleashed a powerful but often underutilized toolset. Think for a moment about your own organization. Are you doing anything more creative with your SQL Server software than running an occasional backup and letting your applications do the basic reading and writing of data? Microsoft is projecting a mid-2005 release for SQL Server's next major revision, SQL Server 2005. This delay, combined with the traditional lag in customers moving to a new database platform, guarantees SQL Server 2000 a life span well into 2007 at least. So as we await the next upgrade, let's review seven frequently overlooked features available in SQL Server 2000 today and consider how they can help you as administrators and developers obtain a higher return from your existing software investments.
These 7 hidden gems can help you get the most out of SQL Server 2000
1. Log Shipping
Have you ever considered how to keep an offsite disaster-recovery server refreshed or how to deploy a hot-standby server to decrease local recovery time? Or what about creating a "mirror" server to off-load operational reporting from your high-volume transactional system? I often encounter organizations using standby servers to achieve these three goals. Many make a nightly database backup, copy it across the network, then restore it to another server. Other organizations often take their production systems offline, detach the database, copy the data and log files across the network, then reattach the databases on the source and destination servers. Both approaches—backup and restore and detach-reattach—work, but they're limited. In both cases, you must move the entire database, which results in a lot of disk I/O, increased network traffic, and a scalability problem because eventually you won't have enough time per refresh cycle to complete the process. The detach-reattach option also forces a system outage each time the refresh occurs.
Log shipping provides an often-overlooked alternative for maintaining mirrored servers. It uses built-in backup and recovery facilities to track data changes through a transaction log backup, automatically copying the transaction log backup to the new server, then applying the log. By moving only the data that has changed, log shipping avoids the common disk I/O, network traffic, and scalability penalties I described. SQL Server 7.0 introduced log shipping, and SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition takes it to a new level by providing built-in support and automation for establishing and maintaining the log-shipping process. Standard Edition also includes log shipping; however, similar to log shipping in SQL Server 7.0, it requires manual configuration. See Ron Talmage's December 2001 and January 2002 articles, "Log Shipping in SQL Server 2000, Part 1" (InstantDoc ID 23056) and "Log Shipping in SQL Server 2000, Part 2" (InstantDoc ID 23230) for an in-depth look at establishing and maintaining a log-shipping environment.
2. SQL Server Profiler
Of all SQL Server's utilities, I have to classify SQL Server Profiler as the single most misunderstood and underutilized development (yes, I said development) tool available. Profiler gives administrators a window into SQL Server's inner workings, letting them track performance metrics, perform database-auditing activities such as identifying the users who access the server, and capture various workloads to aid in tuning the server. But it also helps developers gain a unique understanding of how their applications interact with the database. As a developer, have you ever wanted to see the exact SQL statements that your application code generates? Have you tried to track down and debug a blocking or deadlocking problem in your system? If so, Profiler needs to be part of your toolkit.
Profiler's tracing facilities let developers capture and examine the internal attributes, metrics, and events that SQL Server exposes. Once you've captured these elements, you can perform realtime analysis through Profiler's UI, or you can store the data for later consumption by other analytical tools. For example, to diagnose a deadlocking bug, you could capture user information, the connections corresponding to those users, statements those connections have executed, and the time of each activity. With those results, you could then analyze the time dependencies and statements to identify exactly what combination of user activity is generating the deadlocks. Itzik Ben-Gan offers a valuable overview of Profiler in his May 2001 article "What's New in SQL Server 2000 Profiler" (InstantDoc ID 20126). In addition, Brian Moran regularly shares insights into Profiler tracing options in his SQL Server Savvy column (you can access column archives at http://www.winnetmag.com/departments/departmentid/721/721.html).
3. INSTEAD OF Triggers
What technology do you use if you need to intercept a particular Data Manipulation Language (DML) statement and perform some alternative processing? Maybe you need to change a non-updateable view to be updateable, or while tuning your production database, you realize that partitioning the Transaction table would result in a significant performance improvement. However, given all the existing application code, you need to avoid a major rewrite that would result in a lot of regression testing. If any of these situations sounds familiar, INSTEAD OF triggers might offer a solution.
New in all editions of SQL Server 2000, INSTEAD OF triggers provide the ability to do something else in place of the triggering action. For example, when an INSTEAD OF trigger exists on the insert action of a table (or view) and an INSERT statement executes against the table, the trigger code instead handles any necessary processing. And unless the trigger's code explicitly forces it, SQL Server doesn't apply any data to the table. Because views support INSTEAD OF triggers, this mechanism of intercepting and controlling data changes lets developers make previously non-updateable views updateable. Most important, when addressing the partitioning scenario, administrators and developers can hide schema changes from anyone or anything accessing the table while maintaining backward compatibility with existing applications. Kalen Delaney's November 2000 article, "INSTEAD OF Triggers" (InstantDoc ID 15524), explains their usage in detail.
4. Multi-Instance Support
All editions of SQL Server 2000 support multiple instances, letting you run multiple, independent instances of SQL Server simultaneously on the same box. This feature offers an opportunity to consolidate production environments, but where people frequently overlook its benefits is not in the production environment, but rather in the development and testing environments. If your organization supports multiple development projects and several teams need their own environments to evolve and build their applications, SQL Server 2000 lets you host multiple projects on one box while the teams operate as freely as if each had its own machine. Likewise, testing environments, specifically those used for functional testing, have the same opportunity to share resources. Depending on your hardware's capacity and your system's memory, CPU, and storage needs, this type of consolidation might not be practical. But don't overlook the potential cost benefit of eliminating one or more servers and the corresponding OS licenses from your budget. Kalen Delaney provides a good overview of multi-instance support in her July 2000 article "Multiple Instances" (InstantDoc ID 8686).
5. Workflow Management
Most SQL Server users are familiar with Data Transformation Services (DTS), a set of utilities for extracting, transforming, and loading data. However, many people don't realize that DTS's workflow engine also provides a straightforward, easy way to manage task execution, even when those tasks have nothing to do with moving or transforming data. Say you need to run several stored procedures and, for efficiency reasons, you want to run as many in parallel as you can. One DTS package could do the trick. The package could contain one Execute SQL task for each procedure and one connection for each parallel task. You could then use SQL Server Agent to schedule the package to run at whatever interval you choose. You can set up this type of workflow management with just a few clicks of the mouse.
6. Computed Columns
Often overlooked by data modelers are SQL Server 2000's abilities to define a dynamic or computed column within a table as part of the table's underlying definition and to improve query performance by indexing the computed column. Rather than storing a data value in such a column, which increases row size, SQL Server 2000 derives the column's value at query runtime. Centralizing the column's calculation lets your users access a single, uniform column definition, thereby reducing the inherent risk that arises when you duplicate a frequently reused formula across multiple queries. And if testing reveals an index is warranted, you can add it to the computed column to increase performance. In his October 2001 T-SQL Black Belt column, "Storing Computations" (InstantDoc ID 22091), Itzik Ben-Gan shows you how to implement computed columns.
7. Reporting
By now, you've heard about Microsoft's new reporting solution, SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services. Although it's too soon for Microsoft to claim total victory in the reporting arena, early customer feedback indicates that Reporting Services is quickly gaining popularity and will be a big player in the business intelligence (BI) and traditional relational reporting markets. But even if you're not yet interested in Reporting Services, you're likely equipped already with not just one but three other Microsoft reporting options: Microsoft Access, Microsoft Excel, and the Microsoft Office Web Components. Granted, these are in no way full-fledged, end-user reporting tools, but when combined with a well-designed database and a bit of custom coding, they all can offer a rich end-user experience for presenting canned parameter-driven reports. For example, in their June 2002 article, "Building a Web-Based Analysis System" (InstantDoc ID 24692), Mark Scott and John Lynn explore a reporting system they built by combining SQL Server technologies with the Office Web Components. Their solution includes Analysis Services' OLAP functionality, but you can also use the Office Web Components to report against native SQL Server tables.
Why Wait?
Don't let all the hype surrounding SQL Server 2005's new-and-improved functionality keep you from implementing useful solutions now. You still have plenty of creative ways to leverage SQL Server 2000's valuable, often overlooked features. Why put off until tomorrow what you can start today?

What's on the menu?
Ask, and ye shall receive. Welcome to New York, A.J.! It's an acquired taste, but I'm sure you'll get used to your meals prepared by pressure cooker as opposed to the slow roasting method you've become familiar with over the course of the past three seasons. Shouldn't be a problem, should it?
Like the esteemed Tao, I'm trying my best to be indifferent concerning the "A.J.-as-a-Yankee" era. After all, Team Burnett didn't break any rules, were well within their negotiated right to exercise the opt-out clause....and the situation played out pretty much - no, exactly - as we all thought it would, didn't it? So, what gives?
How about this quote, for starters?
"Whether you love them or hate them, everybody wants to be a Yankee."
Terrific. Thanks for the insight, A.J.
But wait - there's more. Remember the alleged conversation with (future Blue Jay) Carl Pavano regarding life as a Yankee? Yeah....that didn't exactly happen during an offseason career soul-searching session. It happened in September, during the Jays last trip to Yankee Stadium:
Down the stretch, Burnett even received a thumbs-up review of New York from a surprising source -- Carl Pavano, the much-maligned Yankees right-hander and a former Marlins teammate.
Standing down the third-base line during the Blue Jays' September visit, Burnett and Pavano dodged batting-practice drives and spoke honestly about what life is like pitching for the Yankees. Pavano's positive review surprised even Burnett.
"He said it's great," Burnett said. "He recommended that I come here and believed that I need to come here to really blossom and start something special. The first thing he told me is that he didn't do it right from the beginning and got off on the wrong foot in New York. But it's a great place to play and a great place to live."
Well, I'm so glad to hear that your commitment to the Jays was unwavering throughout the season, Allan James. Really good to know that you "honestly had no idea" what you were going to do with the opt-out.
So, about that breakfast, lunch, and dinner.....I hope you enjoy them, A.J. Try not to choke on it.

Checkin' in early this weekend dudes....not sure if I'll be around and had to get his off my chest.
But I feel MUCH better now....

When he inevitably does choke, and let's out a distressed "ACK," you can take it personally.
- December 19, 2008 at 2:38 PM
I don't care when he made his decision, or whether he broke any rules, or anything else. All I know is he's a Yankee, which means I hate him, rationally or not. That's just the way it is.
- December 19, 2008 at 2:50 PM
Asshole Jerk sucks! His press conference was a flop! Fuck the Yankees......
- December 19, 2008 at 4:59 PM
AJ is such a weak, rich, and fake douchebag that I kind of like him
His heaping flaws are even more obvious if you compare him with Doc (aka Jesus)
- December 19, 2008 at 5:28 PM
There's only suffering as Jays fans.
Chances are that within the next 5 years we're going to see Burnett in a World Series pile up.
We need our messiah.

Quote the first:
"Whether you love them or hate them, everybody wants to be a Yankee."
That's one of the major reasons WHY i hate them.
Quote the second:
"He . . . believed that I need to come here to really blossom and start something special."
Yeah, cause that is what happened for him.
Of course, what are you going to say at the press confrence - "I don't give a damn which team it is, it's all about the money"?
Like Brandan said, being a Yankee is enough (though I did make an exception to that policy for Jimmy Key and David Cone)
- December 19, 2008 at 6:21 PM
- Joanna said...
It's so nice that he mentioned Doc in the press conference
"Roy pounded it in my head that I don't have to throw 98 every day," Burnett said. "I don't have to go full-tilt, that I can win ballgames and be successful pitching at 94, 95 and 96. I threw a handful of two-seamers in '07, and that was probably half of my arsenal last year."
Ah, fuck you.
- December 19, 2008 at 7:06 PM
A.J. and Roy will bang each other on the mound in 2010 or 2011 when they win the World Series. Roy can't give A.J. a reacharound because he has a clit dick.
- December 19, 2008 at 10:38 PM
Everyone seems to hate the Yankees but think about this way. If the Jays had unlimited money to spend like the Yankees would you be pissed if the Jays were signing big free agents every year? Didn't think so.
For something you all knew would happen you sure seem bitter. It's over with. He's gone. Even with AJ, the Jays didn't really have a shot at making it to the playoffs.
I am and will always be a Jays fan at heart but sometimes you just have to be realistic. These days, what gets me through the day is just watching good quality baseball. I will continue to wait until the day the Jays put it together for 162 games and make it to the playoffs and make a run at the World Series again.
Until that day comes, I'm going to sit back and just enjoy the game. Maybe some of you folks might want to try that. Bitching is fun but it gets old.

I don't see people bitching about the Yankees' unlimited spending here. I see people bitching about AJ being a bit of a douche.
- December 20, 2008 at 9:54 AM
The best part of this signing for A.J. is he gets to continue to be a #2 starter
- December 20, 2008 at 12:27 PM
Why is AJ a bit of a douche? The guy was thinking about his future and made sure everything was secure financially while giving himself a chance to play for a World Series ring.
It sucks to see him leave but I do wish him well like I do with all players because all I want is to watch good quality baseball.
Dave - I think he'll be a #3 starter behind CC and Wang.

I never thought I'd hear someone argue that A.J. wasn't a douche, even before this off-season.
- December 22, 2008 at 8:50 AM
Maybe AJ just needs a better publicist
- December 22, 2008 at 4:24 PM
Can someone explain to me how Carl Pavano knows what it's like to pitch for the Yankees...?
Or maybe what he was really getting at is how great it is to get paid millions of dollars to NOT play in a town where they eat, drink, and shit baseball (not necessarily in that order)...

Personally, I don't think bitching ever gets old.
Fuck A.J. I look forward to Doc dealing with his case next season head-to-head.

If it's Tuesday, it must be Oscar nomination reaction day.
Vetern actors Gary Oldman (getting his first nomination ever) and Christopher Plummer took a moment to reflect on their nominations (for the films "Tinker Tailor Solider Spy" and "Beginners," respectively), while nomination announcement hostess (and 2011 nominee for "Winter's Bone") Jennifer Lawrence remembers what went through her mind when she heard her name on the ballot.
Gary Oldman – Best Actor Nominee, "Tinker, Tailor, Solider, Spy":
U.S. & World
"This afternoon in Berlin I have learned that I was nominated for an Academy Award in the category of Best Actor. You may have heard this before, but it has never been truer than it is for me today, it is extremely humbling, gratifying, and delightful to have your work recognized by the Academy, and to join the celebrated ranks of previous nominees and colleagues. Amazing."
Christopher Plummer – Best Supporting Actor Nominee, "Beginners":
"It's a shot in the arm for a young kid of 82 to receive an Academy Award nomination this morning. My gratitude to writer/director Michael Mills, the Academy, and to everyone involved with Beginners."
And we couldn't resist including Lawrence's vivid memory of her own nominated experience, which she shared with PopcornBiz after making the announcement at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences this morning.
"It's just such a journey," Lawrence recalled, "and such a bizarre thing to watch something that you worked so hard on and something that's so personal that you love so much, to see it appreciated by other people, and to meet the other nominees – that was my personal favorite part, meeting the other nominees, people I'm a huge fan of."
