WASHINGTON — With emotions still raw from the fight over President Obama's contraception mandate, Senate Democrats are beginning a push to renew the Violence Against Women Act, the once broadly bipartisan 1994 legislation that now faces fierce opposition from conservatives.
The fight over the law, which would expand financing for and broaden the reach of domestic violence programs, will be joined Thursday when Senate Democratic women plan to march to the Senate floor to demand quick action on its extension. Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the majority leader, has suggested he will push for a vote by the end of March.
Democrats, confident they have the political upper hand with women, insist that Republican opposition falls into a larger picture of insensitivity toward women that has progressed from abortion fights to contraception to preventive health care coverage — and now to domestic violence.
"I am furious," said Senator Maria Cantwell, Democrat of Washington. "We're mad, and we're tired of it."
Republicans are bracing for a battle where substantive arguments could be swamped by political optics and the intensity of the clash over women's issues. At a closed-door Senate Republican lunch on Tuesday, Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska sternly warned her colleagues that the party was at risk of being successfully painted as antiwoman — with potentially grievous political consequences in the fall, several Republican senators said Wednesday.
Some conservatives are feeling trapped.
"I favor the Violence Against Women Act and have supported it at various points over the years, but there are matters put on that bill that almost seem to invite opposition," said Senator Jeff Sessions, Republican of Alabama, who opposed the latest version last month in the Judiciary Committee. "You think that's possible? You think they might have put things in there we couldn't support that maybe then they could accuse you of not being supportive of fighting violence against women?"
The legislation would continue existing grant programs to local law enforcement and battered women shelters, but would expand efforts to reach Indian tribes and rural areas. It would increase the availability of free legal assistance to victims of domestic violence, extend the definition of violence against women to include stalking, and provide training for civil and criminal court personnel to deal with families with a history of violence. It would also allow more battered illegal immigrants to claim temporary visas, and would include same-sex couples in programs for domestic violence.
Republicans say the measure, under the cloak of battered women, unnecessarily expands immigration avenues by creating new definitions for immigrant victims to claim battery. More important, they say, it fails to put in safeguards to ensure that domestic violence grants are being well spent. It also dilutes the focus on domestic violence by expanding protections to new groups, like same-sex couples, they say.
Critics of the legislation acknowledged that the name alone presents a challenge if they intend to oppose it over some of its specific provisions.
"Obviously, you want to be for the title," Senator Roy Blunt of Missouri, a member of the Republican leadership, said of the Violence Against Women Act. "If Republicans can't be for it, we need to have a very convincing alternative."
The latest Senate version of the bill has five Republican co-sponsors, including Michael D. Crapo of Idaho, a co-author, but it failed to get a single Republican vote in the Judiciary Committee last month.
As suggested by Mr. Sessions, Republicans detect a whiff of politics in the Democrats' timing. The party just went through a bruising fight over efforts to replace the Obama administration's contraception-coverage mandate with legislation allowing some employers to opt out of coverage for medical procedures they object to on religious or moral grounds.
Polling appears mixed over which side gained political ground on the fight, but Republican lawmakers are not eager to revisit it. State efforts in Virginia and Ohio to mandate ultrasounds before an abortion or ban abortions once a heartbeat is detected have further inflamed passions. And the Democratic National Committee on Wednesday pounced on a suggestion by Mitt Romney that he would eliminate federal financing for Planned Parenthood.
"There are lots of other issues right now that could be dealt with other than this one," said Senator John Thune, Republican of South Dakota, who is responsible for Republican messaging. "I suspect there's a reason for bringing it up now."
But if Republican lawmakers are not eager to oppose a domestic violence bill, conservative activists are itching for a fight. Janice Shaw Crouse, a senior fellow at the conservative Concerned Women for America, said her group had been pressing senators hard to oppose reauthorization of legislation she called "a boondoggle" that vastly expands government and "creates an ideology that all men are guilty and all women are victims."
Last month on the conservative Web site Townhall.com, the conservative icon Phyllis Schlafly called the Violence Against Women Act a slush fund "used to fill feminist coffers" and demanded that Republicans stand up against legislation that promotes "divorce, breakup of marriage and hatred of men."
The third reauthorization effort of the legislation started off in November the way the previous efforts had, with a bipartisan bill and little controversy. The measure, authored by Senators Crapo and Patrick J. Leahy, Democrat of Vermont, attracted 58 co-sponsors, including Republicans Susan Collins and Olympia J. Snowe of Maine, Ms. Murkowski, Mark Steven Kirk of Illinois and Scott P. Brown of Massachusetts.
But Senator Charles E. Grassley of Iowa, the senior Republican on the Judiciary Committee, found multiple reasons to oppose the bill when it came up for a formal consideration last month.
The legislation "creates so many new programs for underserved populations that it risks losing the focus on helping victims, period," Mr. Grassley said when the committee took up the measure. After his alternative version was voted down on party lines, the original passed without a Republican vote.
Senator Dianne Feinstein, Democrat of California, one of two women on the judiciary panel, said the partisan opposition came as a "real surprise," but she put it into a broader picture.
"This is part of a larger effort, candidly, to cut back on rights and services to women," she said. "We've seen it go from discussions on Roe v. Wade, to partial birth abortion, to contraception, to preventive services for women. This seems to be one more thing."
Republicans say they see that line of attack coming and will try through amendments to make the final version more palatable. But if Democrats dig in, Republicans will stand their ground, Mr. Blunt said, pointing to a new New York Times/CBS News poll that showed Americans supporting an exemption to the contraception mandate for religiously affiliated employers 57 percent to 36 percent. By 51 percent to 40 percent, Americans appeared to back Senate efforts to grant employers an exemption on religious or moral exemption grounds.
"Our friends on the other side are in serious danger of overplaying their hand on this one," Mr. Blunt said.

ORLANDO, Fla. – Alex Arhets is celebrating his daughter's high school graduation this week at Disney World. He's also celebrating being alive.
During his vacation, Arhets exclusively showed Channel 4's Orlando sister-station, WKMG-TV the video of what he calls a life-changing experience.
Arhets said the day started out perfectly back in June, when he and three other friends, one of them an experienced pilot, decided to go sightseeing through picturesque Idaho. Arhets is from Boise.
They'd taken off and landed already once that day, but on their second take-off, the vintage single-engine plane would not climb.
"We looked out, pop pop pop, trees started hitting. He tried to pull the plane up little, the plane rolled and then came down and landed on its nose," said Arhets. "We're all hanging upside down from our seat belts and started asking each other are you ok, are you ok?"
Except for the pilot, who was cut and bleeding the worst, all of them were ok.
Arhets said he knew how to survive a crash because of his experience treating trauma patients while working as a physician's assistant.
"As the plane stared hitting the trees I told myself go limp and relax. And so I did and that's when my arms dropped down and my arms flopped around," said Arhets. "As we hit, the plane turned over, and when it landed the windows crushed, debris, dirt was flying inside the cabin. I had expected to see the light flashing before my eyes, but instead I had an instant calm feeling we were going to be ok."
Arhets said first campers spotted the crash site and ran over to help, then firefighters arrived to cut down a swath of trees so paramedics could land a rescue helicopter – all within an hour.
"They were all amazed and surprised, we were so lucky, all the other crashes they came to see they were picking up body parts," said Arhets. "I feel lucky, excited I'm still here with my family. You understand the more important things like family and friends and learn to ignore the things that don't matter as much."
Arhets said he decided to post the video on YouTube to inspire others, realizing that it's rare to survive a small plane crash virtually unscathed.
The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the crash. Arhets claimed the plane hit a downdraft and the air was hot and thin that day, which is why the plane could not gain altitude. Arhets insisted the plane was not overloaded, as they'd already flown on that day once before and changed nothing.
Arhets and his friends posted this description under their video on YouTube:
"This is unprecedented footage of a small airplane crash from inside the cockpit from two different views. Miraculously, everyone survived. The pilot will make a full recovery and the rest of us escaped with superficial injuries and feel very lucky to be alive . This trip was much anticipated and due to our excitement we had our Gopro cameras filming at various times. After flying up into the mountains for a hike in the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness we were planning on flying to a small mountain town for dinner. Due to warming temperatures we had a hard time gaining altitude. After taking off we hit an air pocket that made us rapidly loose altitude, pushing us down into the trees. The cameras were left on for a couple of hours during the aftermath. Thank you to all the many individuals who eventually came to our aid and took the time and effort to help in any way they could. We appreciate you more than you know."

About Beaver Creek
Nothing defines "first-class resort" as perfectly as Beaver Creek, with its immaculately groomed slopes, charming village, heated pathways, escalators and some of the best skiing and snowboarding Colorado has to offer. This family-friendly village is just a couple of minutes up the hill from the conveniences found in Avon, but it offers a world-class resort living experience that feels worlds away. The 18-hole premier golf course has some of the most picturesque holes in the valley, while wintertime skiing offers guests a unique village-to-village experience connecting Beaver Creek to Bachelor Gulch and Arrowhead. The Vilar Performing Arts Center attracts big-name acts throughout the winter and summer months, offering a performance schedule so diverse that it rivals what you'd find in large cities. The Resort's slogan, "Not exactly roughing it," captures its elegance and luxury perfectly. Real estate includes condominiums near and around the Village's core, where European architectural influences transport residents and guests abroad. Impressive ski-in/ski-out homes scattered around Beaver Creek's base areas, as well as golf course properties below the village core, round out this gated community that's quaint in size but massive in its beauty, luxury, privacy and charm. Beaver Creek Resort is consistently ranked among the best ski areas in North America. Known for its impeccable service, pristine grooming, steep-and-deep runs, and the Vail Valley's home to World Cup alpine skiing with the annual Birds of Prey men's ski races, Beaver Creek offers a skiing and snowboarding experience that's hard to match anywhere in the country. When bakers serve warm chocolate chip cookies every day at the base of the mountain to boot, who could complain?

Went for a wander on Sunday the weekend before last from Wallingford to Swyncombe Down and then to Henley. Really nice day for taking photos: today's theme is trees.

Colourful Sunrise
Really pretty sunrise a few mornings ago.
Here's some photos from my wanderings at the weekend. This week it's the charming village of Ewelme in Oxfordshire and an equally delightful nearby pig farm. Factoid of the day: the building in photo #19 is apparently the oldest state school in the country.

Coronavirus – Technology industry operating at 86% (Agoria) As reported by Agoria, the sector federation: since the restart in early May, work within the technology industry has further increased to 86% in June. It is expected to increase further to 90% over the next six months.
New Agoria manual compiles good practices against COVID-19 As an employer, you naturally consider it important to offer your employees a safe and hygienic working environment. The manual 'How do I Tackle COVID-19?' is a handy guide to 'good practices' from member companies that are confronted with the same issues as you, supplemented by the insights on safety from our own Agoria experts.
Technology sector running at 75%, one in five people temporarily unemployed More and more people are working in the technology sector. While the average employment rate was 52.8 percent in early April, it has since risen sharply to 75 percent. One in five people are temporarily unemployed, reported sectoral federation Agoria on Tuesday. According to Marc Lambotte, CEO of Agoria, this is a major step forward: "Work is the basis of our prosperity. Going back to work in safe conditions is good for all of us."
Coronavirus – Slight increase in activity in technology sector There is cautiously more work in technology companies compared to two weeks ago. The average activity rate has gone up from 49.7% to 52.8% (+3.1%). According to Agoria, this is because a number of companies have found technical solutions to complying with the social distancing measures. One challenge, however, is the classic phenomenon that attention paid to complying with measures is also slackening among people working in companies. To prevent the virus from spreading further, Agoria calls for unremittingly great attention to be paid to this aspect of the crisis.

However, is it really necessary to have a separate neck moisturizer apart from your regular face moisturizer? How much is too much to spend on a bottle of shampoo? What's the lifespan of a bottle of nail polish? You have beauty questions?
We found a beauty "Yoda." Meet Laura Wolf, Texas transplant who relocated all the way to Brooklyn to beautify the world, one New Yorker at a time.
Laura has been a beauty consultant working for several well known brands such as Bare Escentuals in addition to some major skin care lines throughout her career. While educating herself in beauty 101 she managed to graduate from college with a degree in Public Relations. With poise and charm intact, she swiftly made the transition from Texan to Brooklynite as she accepted a job here in NYC as the manager of a luxurious, upper echelon, beauty retailer.
With her love of all products that make you pretty, we picked her brain for the latest and greatest trends in hair, make-up and skin care.
"Bright and bold lips of hot pinks, corals and bright reds are in for spring…no nude lips this season," she stated while showing us her latest color palate.
She recommended some higher end brands that have SPF and lip conditioners which result in longer lasting color. Some of her favorite brands are Chante Caille with lipsticks starting at $36.00 and By Terry lipsticks which start at $48.00. "With a bold lip goes a softer eye. Light eyeliner, darker mascara and neutral shadows compliment a brighter lip well, which imposes a confident, sexy statement," she said.
As we switched to discussing commonalities of eyebrow thickness, she got very serious and stated, "Untamed eyebrows in this day and age are nothing but a pure fashion violation, there's no excuse for it. Keeping them manicured emphasizes your eye shape and color."
"Your eyebrow shape is personal, versus universal," she said. "It depends of your facial structure." That was good advice that made us look in the mirror and double check our eyebrow status.
Laura's new beauty blog www.peaceloveandmascara.wordpress.com keeps you in her beauty loop. File in and figure out what she's using and abusing, what she's tossing and throwing.
Here's her top three picks for your make-up bag this season:
1. Serge Normant's Meta Lush Volumizer: Why? This adds volume without stickiness or interference with your hair's natural texture.
2. Bare Escentuals Skin Rever Upper: Why? Glycolic and Salicylic acid combined with botanical extracts slough off dead skin cells and reenergize your skin.
3. Kjaer Weis Cream Blush: Why? 100% certified organic providing vibrant color with a natural glow. Stays all day! www.kjaerweis.com

An unexpected 2.4 benefit
Courtesy of Rav, who sent me a brief email, I point to another reason to consider Disc. (Sheesh – all of a sudden it's the Bees Knees? No, it's just that Disc was so secondary for so long that it's worth noting when it gains.)
I present Enlightenment – in this case, 5/5. Second highest option on the Disc tree, making it purely a Disc spec option. So what's the big deal? Read it – +5% to stamina, int, and spirit. Now, everyone knows that's pretty good. But as Rav pointed out – the new method of mana regen makes this a Big Deal.
Oh, yeah. Mana Regen. See, before the patch, 5% spirit and 5% int meant 5% faster mana regen and 5% more mana. Now, you still get 5% more mana. But you also get… it depends, but 7.5% more mp5 is attainable.
Which means a Disc priest who's balanced stats decently and has both meditation and enlightenment maxed is potentially doing about 33% of mana regen in combat (before other toys, talents, and such come into effect).
Let's put that into perspective. If my regen from int and spirit is 400 mp5, my improved mp5 can be 430, which means my 'natural' meditation bonus goes from 120 to 129. +9 mp5 at 100% combat. More at my normal (70% IFSR) dance rate. Folks, there is purple gear with worse regen rates.
It isn't a huge thing, but if your "big deal" is mana, it's another benefit to Disc choices.
Go have fun.

Carrie Underwood released a video for her new single, "Love Wins." The vibrant clip was directed by Shane Drake, who also helmed Carrie's "Cry Pretty" video in 2016.
The inspiring tune, which was penned by Carrie, David Garcia and Brett James, follows the Top 10 success of lead single, "Cry Pretty," from her upcoming album of the same name. The new album will be released on Sept. 14.
"This song is hopeful," says Carrie. "It's saying no matter who you are, what you feel, what you think, we're all human beings. We all deserve love. We all deserve respect and we all should try to show that to one another."
Carrie co-wrote nine of the 13 tracks on Cry Pretty and co-produced the album with David Garcia. The new record will be Carrie's first since 2015's "Storyteller," which spawned hits such as "Smoke Break," "Heartbeat," "Church Bells" and "Dirty Laundry."

Candidates Night At The Maplewood Neighborhood Association: A Low-Key Affair
Every time there's an election, it seems that political candidates come crawling out of the woodwork. They work hard for about six or seven months, being seen at various venues throughout the constituencies they hope to win, garnering support for their campaigns. T-shirts, bumper stickers, buttons and pens bearing their names are freely dispensed, cheap trinkets to remind us that they are running for something.
Well, at least the t-shirts can be useful at a later date...to wash cars and floors with.
In ancient Rome, people were at least given bread and circuses.
Other accessories are spouses and children, reeking of mothballs since they were packed away and hermetically sealed in plastic after their last election campaigns.
In most cases, the various candidates' nights throughout the area are the first and last times most people will ever see their elected officials until the next election, no matter how much they assure the various groups they speak in front of about the "special bond" they have with them.
Oh, well. It's still nice to see who they are and what they have to say or how they respond to questions from the voters.
On Wednesday Night, October 3, the Maplewood Neighborhood Association had its
"Candidates' Night." It was a low-key affair, because only four candidates showed up: Republican State Senator Joe Robach, the incumbent, who is running unopposed and now represents all
of Maplewood; Democratic State Assemblyman the Honorable Joe Morelle, another incumbent, who is also running unopposed; Democratic State Assemblyman the Honorable Harry Bronson, the incumbent; and his Republican opponent, Peterson Vazquez.
Neither Maggie Brooks nor Louise Slaughter, slugging it out over a seat in the United States House of Representatives, were in attendance. Perhaps they had better things to do.
Each of the candidates were given five minutes to explain a little bit about themselves. The incumbents began with quick autobiographies, and then moved onto their work in the State Assembly or the State Senate. There was much praise for their bipartisan work in getting the budget passed on time this year, and then onto what they had done ( or plan to do ) for their constituencies.
And then, onto the question and answer session.
Oddly enough, most of that was about Rochester's dismal school system, rather than about the economic distress Western New York State has been undergoing. These are areas over which these particular elected offices have very little clout, belonging primarily to Rochester's School Board and, to some minor extent, the City Council. There were questions about returning to neighborhood schools, about the poor performance of the students in the schools, about "special needs" students. The candidates spent much of their time answering these questions; the incumbents from a more experienced standpoint, Vazquez from that of a parent who moved to the suburbs for the so-called "better schools," only to eventually enroll his children in private schools.
While this is an important issue, a member of the audience reminded everyone of that fact, and a few minutes were dedicated to economic problems in the Rochester area.
There was one question I asked. It had nothing to do with the economy, or the schools or the local infrastructure. It had to do with human dignity. It was asked of each candidate present tonight:
"Last year, the state legalized "equal marriage." Earlier this year, a Republican State Senator introduced a bill to repeal it. If such a bill were introduced into your respective houses, would you vote to repeal "equal marriage?"
The Honorables Harry Bronson and Joe Morelle, supporters of and fighters for equality, voted to legalize "equal marriage" in the State Assembly last year. They quickly affirmed their continued support for it by stating that they would never vote to repeal it.
State Senator Robach remained silent and never even attempted to answer the question.
It should be noted that Robach voted against "equal marriage" in ths State Senate last year. Robach has long been a proponent for "civil unions" for same-sex couples, an uncomfortable "half-way house" of separate but unequal. "Civil unions" might have been an acceptable stop gap a decade or so ago, but it is already an anachronism.
Robach later stated that he did not answer the question because it was "redundant."
But really, what did Robach have to lose by answering yes or no? He's running unopposed in his district!
Peterson Vazquez also never bothered to answer the question. Perhaps he was merely playing "follow the leader" with Robach, and when Robach never replied, Vazquez also remained silent. Perhaps Vazquez was fearful of losing the suburban Conservative vote if he stated that he would not support repeal, or the support of wealthy Republicans funding his campaign.
Or perhaps we should take the old Latin maxim to heart: qui tacet consentiret
( "silence means consent" ).
If they would have said "yes" or "no," at least we would have known where they stand on this issue.
And if anyone wishes to be gulled into believing that "equal marriage" is a done deal in New York State, one need only look at the State of Maine. "Equal marriage" was enacted there three years ago, only to be overturned by a referendum. Under the right circumstances ( such as complacency ), it could happen here.
At any rate, Maplewood got to see the candidates running for office who were willing to show up. And of these candidates, there's only one actual "race" going on, between the Honorable Harry Bronson and Peterson Vazquez!
Take your pick. You can always check out their campaign websites if you need to know more about them, even if they are running unopposed.
But if you are a supporter of equality, the choice should be clear.

Every woman's fantasy
This isn't my field of expertise.
But it sure does look to me like a cure has been found.
And that's it's been around for quite some time.
Have a look.
I can say one thing for sure.
That video is exciting. It's going to shock you. And entertain you. And most importantly, it's going to make you think.
Definitely the best health video I've seen come out all month....
Tom has a very unique approach to his field...and I've always got one eye on what he's up to...because it's always something different....
What I learned from that video....
You're going to learn EXACTLY what that cause is on this video.
And I mean it when I say...learn it there...or learn it nowhere...
Once you hear what he has to say you're going to say "gosh, why didn't I think of that"
And when you hear how easy his solution is....
You won't believe it...
But you're going to want to try it...
And when you try it...
Then you're gonna start believing.
Because the sizable bulge in your pants...and the smile on your wife's face...is going to make you into a believer.
I don't usually demand that everyone my list watch a video.
But I do demand that you watch this one.
You won't regret it.
Talk to you soon,

Blood Substitutes Linked to Deaths
Patients treated with experimental blood substitutes were
30% more likely to die and more than twice as likely to have heart attacks as
patients who did not get the blood substitute products, a pooled analysis of
the research reveals.
Combined results from 13 published and three unpublished industry-sponsored
trials showed the increase in risk for all the hemoglobin-based blood
substitute products tested and for all populations studied, including trauma
patients and those having heart, vascular, or elective surgery.
The study, conducted by researchers from the National Institutes of Health
(NIH) and the consumer advocacy group Public Citizen, is scheduled for
publication in the May 21 issue of The Journal of the American Medical
But the findings were made public online Monday, the day before a planned
two-day FDA-sponsored workshop examining the safety of the blood
NIH researcher Charles Natanson, MD, says the analysis makes it clear that
the products are too dangerous for use in human clinical trials.
One of the blood substitutes, Biopure Corp.'s Hemopure, is approved for use
in humans in South Africa. None is approved for human use in the U.S., but
there are five ongoing clinical trials involving the blood substitutes,
Natanson says.
"I don't believe this research should go forward in humans until these
products have been reformulated and animal studies show them to be less
toxic," he tells WebMD.
The Hope for Blood Substitutes
Blood substitutes that need no refrigeration, have a long shelf life, and
don't require blood type matching hold the promise of saving lives in remote
and battlefield settings and easing blood shortages everywhere.
Fears of a tainted blood supply in the early days of the HIV pandemic created great
interest in developing safe and effective blood substitutes. Much of that
research has involved the protein hemoglobin, which gives red blood cells their
ability to carry oxygen.
In the newly published analysis, Natanson and colleagues examined data from
industry-sponsored studies of five hemoglobin-based products involving 3,711
"It makes sense to examine these products as a class because they all
bind oxygen and have a common mechanism of toxicity," he says. "When we
did this we found the risk of death and (heart
attack ) to be consistent across the products."
But in a statement released Monday, a spokesman for Biopure calls the
analysis "significantly flawed."
"There are vast differences among these products that make any pooling
of data flawed, especially across different clinical experiences,"
Biopure's Vice President of Medical Affairs A. Gerson Greenburg, MD, PhD, says
in the statement.
FDA Failed, Researchers Say
Natanson and colleagues criticized the FDA for failing to do its own
analysis of safety data from the clinical trials years ago.
They write that such an analysis would have demonstrated significant risks
associated with the products as early as 2000.
"Had the agency placed a moratorium on trials at that point,
product-related deaths and [heart attacks] in subsequent trials most likely
would have been prevented," they write. "Such data were not available
to scientists, the public, institutional review boards, or competing [blood
substitute] manufacturers."
Ottawa Health Research Institute senior scientist Dan Fergusson, PhD, agrees
that more timely dissemination of the safety data probably would have saved
Fergusson co-wrote an editorial accompanying the newly published
"A lot of the safety data was not made public, and it matters," he
tells WebMD. "If I am someone designing and enrolling patients for the next
trial, I need that information."
Fergusson says a registry of blood substitute trials is badly needed to
address the issue of safety, along with regulaory changes to require prompt
reporting of both negative and positive study findings.
In his editorial, he called for a critical and systematic review of all the
hemoglobin-based blood substitute research before further human trials are
But he tells WebMD that the blood substitute research should not be
"A lot of good has come out of this research," he says. "We have
a better understanding of the basic physiology of how oxygen is delivered to
the tissues. But I think it is fair to say that many of the companies that did
this research were not forthcoming with their safety data."

Russell Crowe knows a thing or two about saving the day onscreen, but it was the Gladiator star who needed a little rescuing over the weekend.
The 48-year-old was bailed out by the U.S. Coast Guard on Saturday after he and a friend got lost while kayaking off the coast of Long Island, N.Y., according to authorities.
Crowe and his pal reportedly launched from Cold Spring Harbor and were paddling around Long Island Sound when they lost their way. By nightfall, the two supposedly beached their kayaks in Huntington Bay, which is about 10 miles from where they first started.
The duo hunkered down until about 10 p.m. when they were spotted by the U.S. Coast Guard, who heard the two calling out to them and swooped in to give the men and their kayaks a lift back to safety.
Crowe later took to Twitter to give props to the crew: "Kayak;Cold Spring/Huntington Harbour, thanks to Seth and the boys from the US Coast Guard for guiding the way...4 hrs 30 mins, 7m(11.2km)."
He also made light of the mishap, tweeting, "not lost, we knew where exactly where we were, paddling around from csh into wind, we ran out of day. Grand adventure eh."
Coast Guard officers, meanwhile, were abuzz over their brush with the Oscar winner.
"It is common for the Coast Guard to assist boaters like this, but it was very cool to help Russell Crowe and his friend," said Coast Guard Petty Officer 2nd Class Robert Swieciki, per Reuters.
The actor is currently on location in Long Island to shoot Noah, Darren Aronofsky's ambitious take on the eponymous biblical figure and his famous ark.
Note to Crowe: better start getting used to the water. We all know how that epic story turned out.

Published at 4:40 p.m. ET: Chris Rock, Tony Bennett, Adam Scott and Amanda Peet joined survivors of gun violence to support President Barack Obama's call for new gun-control laws at a press conference Wednesday in Washington, D.C.
Paul J. Richards / AFP - Getty Images
Tony Bennett spoke during a press conference by Mayors Against Illegal Guns on Wednesday in Washington, DC, as representative Elijah Cummings (D-MD), Chris Rock, Rev Timothy A. Boggs (right) and Amanda Peet look on.
"I am just here to support the President of the United States," Rock said. "The President of the United States is ... our boss. ... The president and the first lady are kind of like the mom and the dad of the country, and when your dad says something, you listen! And when you don't, it usually bites you in the ass later on."
The event was led Mayors Against Illegal Guns, a group of more 800 mayors from across the country who are working together to to help law enforcement target illegal firearms. The event was part of the group's campaign Demand a Plan, which presses elected officials for action to protect citizens' right to safety and security.
Singer Tony Bennett and Adam Scott of "Parks and Recreation" both referenced the Newton, Conn., tragedy when they spoke at the event aimed to urge Congress to take action.
"I still haven't gotten over Connecticut," the 86-year-old crooner said. "I'd like the assault weapons to go to war, not on our own country, and I'd like assault weapons eliminated."
Actor Scott said that as a father, he was "horrified and frightened" by what happened at Newtown. "Along with thousands of other Americans that day, I felt helpless," he said. "These shootings are rapidly becoming part of our culture, something you almost anticipate hearing about when you turn on your television or your computer. But this one, it was clear to me ... that if we as a people don't act after Sandy Hook, then what's next? ... We're asking Congress to follow the president's lead and act responsibly."
On Saturday, Jim Carrey shared his thoughts on the issue via Twitter. "Any1 who would run out to buy an assault rifle after the Newtown massacre has very little left in their body or soul worth protecting," he wrote. After Fox News criticized the actor, he wrote Tuesday, "Yes, i agree with the ppl who argue that cars can be as deadly as guns but a car is a lot harder to get through the door of a classroom."
But not all celebrities share the pro gun-control view.
Bruce Willis, who reprises his role as John McClane in the upcoming "A Good Day to Die Hard" (aka "Die Hard 5"), said in a recent interview with The Associated Press that he opposes new legislation that might step on Second Amendment rights.
"I think that you can't start to pick apart anything out of the Bill of Rights without thinking that it's all going to become undone," he told the AP. "If you take one out or change one law, then why wouldn't they take all your rights away from you?"

Seeing Wal-Mart spread across the U.S. in that video last month reminded me of a virus consuming mankind, but this Target one? Not so much. It's not a perfect store, but it's certainly no Wal-Mart.
While both companies saw explosive growth from when they were founded (both in 1962) until just a few months ago, when the retail sector imploded, the way in which they expanded was markedly different.
Whereas Wal-Mart spread from a central point like your traditional virus, Target was more like a metastasising cancer, beginning in the central U.S., like Wal-Mart, and then popping up in targets of opportunity wherever there was good business.
And now, just like Wal-Mart, they to have a Gizmodo writer comparing their stores to something terrible that can invade the human body. Victory! [FlowingData]

Publication Acceptance Date: 10/20/2011
Publication Date: 1/10/2012
Citation: Cannon, S.B., Crow, J.A., Grant, D.M. 2012. SoyBase and the legume information system: accessing information about the soybean and other legume genomes. In: Wilson, R. editor. Designing Soybeans for 21st Century Markets. Urbana, IL: AOCS Press. p. 53-66.
Interpretive Summary: This review describes two websites relevant for soybean research: SoyBase, and the Legume Information System (LIS). The soybean genome sequence contains the vast majority of gene and regulatory sequences responsible for characteristics of a soybean plant. Together, these websites provide access to the genome sequence and many related pieces of information, allowing researchers to locate and track important traits, to reconstruct and investigate metabolic pathways, to describe plant growth characteristics, and to identify how genes respond in different conditions or parts of a soybean plant.
Technical Abstract: This review describes two websites relevant for soybean research: SoyBase, and the Legume Information System (LIS). SoyBase and LIS have different objectives and areas of emphasis. SoyBase holds a wide range of specialized data in support of soybean breeding and research activities, with the primary focus on genetic data (i.e., markers, maps, and QTL) and genomic data (i.e., genome sequence, gene predictions, gene expression information). Other significant soybean data sets are incorporated where possible, for example, information about fast-neutron mutant populations and metabolic pathways. LIS includes similar genetic and genomic data, but for a broad range of species. The primary objectives in LIS are, in the words of the site's mission statement, to "enable productive applied and basic research in the legumes by relating data from multiple crop and model species, and by helping researchers traverse among various data types." To serve the needs for comparative cross-species analysis, LIS houses genetic map data for multiple species, and relates the sequence-based markers for each species to the genome sequences of the sequenced "reference" legume genomes (at the time of writing, soybean, Lotus, and Medicago). Sequence search tools are designed to display results with respect to the reference genomes and to other analysis resources such as UniProt. Additionally, LIS helps link and integrate resources at multiple online genetic databases.

Radiographic Analysis of the Response of the Proximal Femur to the Silent Hip Prosthesis
Suche in Medline nach
|21. Oktober 2010
Objective: Background With people living longer and the trend to earlier intervention, many patients will outlast the lifetime of current hip implants and require a revision procedure. Traditional THR involves a low neck cut and the insertion of a stem into the femoral shaft. This technique unloads the proximal femur, causing stress shielding. The SilentTM hip stem is a conservative collarless neck-only femoral prosthesis with less resection of bone and does not disturb the shaft. The prosthesis is designed to transfer loads in a more physiological manner to avoid loss of proximal femoral bone through stress shielding.
Methods: Methods We analyzed the radiographs of 47 patients (mean age 54.8 years) in a maximum follow-up of 66-months (mean 33.0 months) to determine the response of the proximal bone around the implant. To categorize these changes we used a modified Gruen classification. We also investigated the effect of the positioning of the prosthesis (insertion angle and penetration depth) on proximal remodelling.
Results and conclusions: Results At the latest follow-up 46 SilentTM hips (97.9%) were radiologically stable without signs of loosening. One stem was excluded from the study because of an early periprosthetic fracture. 29 stems (63.0%) presented positive calcar remodelling (modified zone 5) between 12 and 24 months, depending on stem positioning. Both a smaller prosthesis to shaft angle and a bigger distal clearance caused a significant higher incident of positive calcar remodelling (p<0.001). 30 out of 39 stems (76.9%) presented a trabecular bone formation between the tip and the lateral cortex, significantly correlating with a higher prosthesis to shaft angle (p=0.019).
The SilentTM hip femoral prosthesis is a good alternative conservative option for the younger patient, presenting a physiological loading of the femur with good calcar bone preservation. Smaller prosthesis to shaft angles (mean 133°) and a bigger distal clearance (mean 5.2mm) favor positive remodelling at the calcar, higher angles (mean 138°) favour positive remodelling at the tip of the stem.

Modules, Dependency Injection, and Newspeak
I'm about to put the finishing touches on the Heron design for its big 1.0 release, by putting in the module system. I left this for last thinking that it would be trivial. Boy was I wrong!
I was going to slap a module system on Heron that looked like Python and be done with it (see this StackOverflow question I asked ). However, through sheer luck I read this blog post by Gilad Bracha and he convinced me I was about to make a big mistake. The problem was, and in part still is, I didn't exactly understand what alternatives I had!
Gilad Bracha's new language is called Newspeak and is heavily inspired by Smalltalk. It is hard for me to follow everything that he proposes because I don't really speak Smalltalk, but he does make an effort to dumb things down a bit in the Newspeak language specification .
The blog post at first sounded like hand-waving to me, but Gilad Bracha is someone worth listening to when it comes to language design. To add to this his ideas receive support from someone else I respect, Phil Wadler.
Philip makes the connection between the Newspeak module system and dependency injection. In addition some people on the Lambda-the-Ultimate.org blog have helped me understand this point further here.
The lesson I have learned so far is that a poorly implemented module system has many downsides, and that it is possible to have a module system which makes it easier to refactor, mock, and enforce security, via explicit dependency injection.
Some useful links I have been using for digging into the subject further:

From Amidala to Audrey, things are looking pretty swell for Natalie Portman.
For one, she just accepted the Desert Palm Achievement award at the recent Palm Springs International Film Festival. For another, she's experiencing a whirlwind romance with fiancé and "Black Swan" choreographer Benjamin Millepied and is expecting her first child.
To add to that list? One-time boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal has (mostly) nice things to say about the 29-year-old starlet. (The couple dated for a short time in 2006). "Natalie is the Audrey Hepburn of our generation," Gyllenhaal told People at the festival. "She is elegant [and] graceful." What more of a compliment could a girl want? "[She] has amazing eyebrows," he continued, "…is talented, really short, funny, smart, dedicated, incredibly kind."
U.S. & World
Portman's next project is yet unknown, though she's apparently been hounded by that nagging question quite a few times. "Everyone keeps asking what movie I'm doing next," Portman told the Sun-Times. "Maybe you've heard. I'm cooking a child."
Portman's next film to be released is a romantic comedy opposite Ashton Kutcher called "No Strings Attached," where Portman plays the ultimate friend-with-benefits. She's also slated to be in the summer blockbuster "Thor."
But, just like Nina in "Black Swan," everyone has their flaws, and Portman can hardly be excluded from a bit of scrutiny.
"She's a vegan, which makes it really frustrating when you're picking a place to eat," Gyllenhaal joked at the film festival. As an afterthought, he added, "She's also recently announced that she's going to be a mom, and her child will probably need therapy after seeing "Black Swan."
Whether or not Gyllenhaal will have equally nice things to say about his flaxen-haired ex Taylor Swift remains to be seen.

14 years in waiting…
Ted Lilly obviously has a big assignment his first night out and I'm looking forward to seeing him in Dodger blue…I remember following him in our minor leagues when I first started out in the front office and he was at San Bernardino (and he pitched a no-hitter back in 1997). As he told the media the other day in San Fran, he always dreamed about pitching for Los Angeles and it's taken him 14 years, but he finally has that chance.
There's not a whole lot more that can be said here…we've got three games left against the Padres this week and we need to start winning to put ourselves in a position to make a move over the next two months.
128 Comments
JOSH thanks for the updates….I am looking forward to see Lilly pitch and hopefully he is our boost that we need, the Manny of 2008 boost.
I was in Saturdays game up in San Francisco. Sad that we lost. But the stadium is beautiful. Love it! And fans were great (most of them). Did see some people arguing. The funny part was that they were ladies, actual ladies! And they weren't young. The atmosphere and weather was great. I don't know about the whole fist pumping thing they do there, but whatever rocks the San Francisquiens…Giants.
This song is for Josh (in jest), for his is a job that with this [mis]management can?t be easy. From Bye Bye Birdie:
Ned gets us total zeros
Put on a happy face
Frank fiddles like old Nero
Put on a happy face
We?ve lost five or six in a row again
And play like bile
Crowd?s stay away in droves but then,
We don?t count turnstiles
Manny?s away on DL
Stick to your script and grin
Bench full of worthless VLs
Slip on a happy grin
And blow some smoky sanctimonity
And put on a happy face!
Put on a happy face
Put on a happy face
Just make up some bullshitt and gibberish
And don?t opine
Got us Pods, ?Lil, Dotel and Theriot
Now we?re just fine
ITDs sad and dreary
Won?t ever get a ring
Guess they can see right through me
But they?re all just ding-a-lings
I?ll spread my sunshine all over the place
Just put on a happy face!
So put on a happy face!!
� NedCo Broken Records 2010
Hello ITD! I also have hope, but we need to start making that hope a reality, stating tonight. I was glad to see us put up five runs last night, and hopefully we can put up that many or more, and hold the Padres to less. Let's do this!!!
Hello ITD. I still have a glimmer of hope.
Also it was my first time experiencing a Dodger game from a visitors perspective. The whole "BEAT L.A." chant really gave me the chills. But for me it just meant that we are the threat to them all. I just wish we had won that game.
Hello ITD!
I still have hope too. If you were able to hear Vin Scully he said no lead is safe in August. He sited a few inlcuded the infamous one in 1951.
I forgot that you were going to be there. We could not go so it was just as well. Is funny that the Padres and the Giant choose to emphasize LA instead of their own team. THat towel in SF looked like the same giveaway at San Diego last year.
hope returns with a healthy Manny. I hope it's not to late and hate the fact I even have to type that but feel it's true. As a bonus then maybe Belliard with his buddy Manny can hit like he did last two months when he replaced the O-dog and then can replace Theorit.
And what fires me up is there has not been one quote by Manny that I have read anyway saying to the effect, it's killing me that I can't be out there right now to help the guys I love so much. It's sad. What would Kobe Bryant be doing? All of LA would feel his anguish if he was loosing out on a chance two threepeat. Which is why sports is not just about talent, but desire. Like it or not Kobe Bryant basically rode Manny out of town, but his name was Shaq. Dominant when he wanted to be, but getting older and slower with more and more injuries….
Jason ~ how do you think Manny is going to feel when he goes out the left field and his Mannywood sign is gone? I'd feel like they've already disowned me!
Jason, I don't think Manny gives a crap about much of anything right now. As you said, we have not heard a word from him all season. He shut out the media since the PED thing. I don't doubt he is injured and I don't doubt he would rather be contributing than sitting on the bench. The fact is, his charm is gone along with his ability. If anyone is a poster child for what happens when the juice is turned off it is Manny. He was great when he got here and it was fun while it lasted. I am not sure how his presence in the lineup now would make much of a difference since he does not seem to be the power threat he once was (which kind of makes him like anyone else in the lineup). In fact, I would think fans should be quite concerned if in fact Ethier, Kemp and company still need someone like Manny to make them better hitters at this point in their careers.
No Mannywood sign..lol
I agree with you in general. But honestly he was OPS'ing .925 and getting on base 4 out of 10 at bats. I imagine his slug, obp and ops leads all dodgers. and That alone is solid by anyone. Add his past reputation to situational baseball and you can see why he is missed.
plus with RISP (same basically as with runners on)
So it means something to the other hitters in the lineup for sure and that's not taking anything away from those hitters. I imagine with Andre it's the hand and with Kemp it's the head. Not trying to defend Manny and agree with you also that he would rather be out there and is really hurt. I don't mean to question that at all. He wants his numbers I am sure as well as baseball is fun!!
lol oh geez I see that Pierre hit a HR and is no lied either.
Jason, I am reacting to Manny more emotionally, which for me is unusual. Of course we can't know what his presence in the lineup would have meant to the team this season. It just seemed to me he got his hits and walks at the wrong time. I just do not expect him to be much of a factor when and if he does come back but if he can help, then I will pull for him just as I pull for every player wearing a Dodger uniform.
Furcal out of lineup tonight….back pain. Just what we need right now. Also, Troncoso recallled and Weaver on DL. sore knee 🙂
The phatom DL has returned. Notice how a pitcher get bomb they so fast to put them on the DL. I wouldn't be shock if Broxton is next.
Where there's life there's hope. I'm hoping they start playing with a little life tonight. As frustrating as July was, I still can't give up.
Good Evening Dodger Faithful, and Our Beloved Boy's in Blue.
Congratulations to the Ethier Family.
I Still Believe!!!
Ned should've taken the million for Manny. Now outside of a few meaningless ABs before he goes back on the DL for the rest of the season, they get nothing.
But really, given the make-up of this team do you honestly think that even a 2008 Manny would make a difference when you've got messers. Blake, Theriot and Martin in the order, plus a struggling Dre, no bully, and inconsistant starters? Then throw in a first place team that substantially helped itself at the trade deadline. Unless these guys show a little pride, I think we'll finish 10 games under .500 easy.
That how you score take notes Dodgers players 4 straight hit in Coors for the Giants.
Garcia 3.0 7 6 2 0 3 0 1.31 2.42
Look like the Astros didn't have trouble scoring 6 runs on 7 hits in 3 innings.
Hello ITD
Well another night of starring at the screen and waiting for something good to happen.
I know most would like to forget it but it's hard to get over 5 consecutive hits without scoring a run.
And what a time for that to happen.
Someday it will probably be a trivia question.
We need a win, even if it is just to break this losing spell.
Hey the Dodgers got a Giglio, that means Lilly in Italian. maybe it's for good luck.
2 RUNS, I hope that ain't all for tonight.
Why in the hell wasn't Martin sliding into home on that play. Geez!! He would have been safe!!! Another base running brain f*rt!!!!
Does anyone else find it funny that one of our pick ups gave up a dinger to one of theirs?
I just saw the replay of the play at home on Russ. #1 he didn't slide (If he did he would of been safe and the knee wouldn't of been injured). #2 The on deck hitter (Lilly) should of been on the 1st base side of home and telling him to slide. He was standing on the 3rd base side watching. We continue to not play smart ball.
They just haven't played smart baseball all year and that is on the coaching staff/manager. If a guy keeps doing the same stupid thing then be a leader and do something about it. It seems as if Joe is just collecting a paycheck.
Hello there Wally — hey Beav…
Yup I was okay with Joe in the past but this year he has been just stupid in so many situations. Almost like he just wanted to have the boys have to fight uphill to stick it to these lame owners.
True — How long will Manny be out for …
Shad — What do you not hope for???
Looks like Manny will be out at least two weeks. Calf not responding well.
Game over but I hope not.
I wonder if Blake applogizes to Lilly for accusing him of cheating.
lol when was the last time a pitcher thrown 3 straight curveball. I don't even think Kershaw did that before.
0 for Juan.
Oh Vinny that would make me happy with that stats and you just have to thrown that 2.10 ERA in 16 games from our starters and yes we should win alot of games but we're not.
Let's just see how Kemp screw this up?
Last 10 games 1.5.
That would work.
Let's get Martin in.
Urgh that wasn't even closed and my isp is slow.
Tommy Boy.
Hi'Ya Collie!! They just can't seem to get their heads out of their a**es!! This team doesn't do the little fundamental things that win ball games!!! That is a reflection of the manager and coaching staff!!!
I guess Theriot wanted to wear #2 but couldn't.
Theriot is #2 if you ask me.
Hi'Ya Beav!! Podsednik is sure a god send. Geez!!!
LOL Beav!!!
Ain't he though?
That Ned's a genius.
Juan for 4.

By colliethec on August 3, 2010 8:08 PM
I agree Collie!! Nice post. You're super time warped!!!
lol 18-4 Astros damn I'm so sick of these teams getting double digit runs with ease.
Collie – you're coming from up above like the voice of God.
Zap Ned for me will ya?
So glad we've got another year of Blake coming.
If Theriot is #2….Blake is #1 🙂
lol it call reverse jinx and it work.
Collie ~ if you are still out there…Manny probably won't be back until the end of the month.
Hey TruMom!! Can't fault that logic! 🙂
Blake might me a 3 and Pods a 1
Blake might be a 3 and Pods a 1
We didn't need no stinky Pods. You could easy just call up Hoffmann or Gibbons.
Shad — What would make you happy?
Darn shame they can't come up with an injury for Sherrill!!!!
Oh man I was tryin' to have some fun but now I'm on ITDFST.
Hello there everybody I've caught up with all of you!
Manny's going into the Schidt, Tomko, Phew signing category!!! 20M down the drain!!! Sans the juice, he's got nothing!!! Ask Roger and Barry!!!
Welcome to real time Collie!!!
There is an injury for Sherrill, Jhall….Cantpitchitis 🙂
Juan for 3.
LOL Trumom!!!
**** you Theriot cost Pods a SB.
Is this pick on me day? Look at the comment on stink Pods you have your answer lol
Go back to Chicago Theriot.
Hey everybody, it's pick on Shad day!!! 🙂
Wow Loney knew it.
I actually thought they were going to score that inning and knock Latos out.
Shad — Don't worry I was trying to have some fun since I was on real time & everybody else was on ITDFST. Just trying to amuse myself. I'm strange like that!
It's all good Shad!!! Keep rooting hard. We're all a bit befuddled and p*ssed with our teams play these days!!!!
**** you lol
Lilly is doing a great job tonight. Just wonder how far good-old Joe will let him go before he screws everything up?!
hahahahahaha I guess so. I miss Amy and Sara.
Probably until someone get on base.
T Lilly 7.0 2 1 1 0 5 1 87-65 3.56
Yep Shad, me too. They were alright!! Keep those stats coming my friend!!!
Nice gem so far for "ooGil".
Hope it last, we need it.
You can't be seriously Kuo is already warming up.
I like espn better. I guess I was wrong here come GA.
hahahahaha Torre really wasted 2 PH in that spot and I never seen him do that before.
I have to say that Lilli has pitched a nice game. He settled down after that 1st bomb.
Hopefully the bully can save a 1 run lead. We are winning but again what's with the 2 runs?!
What's a waste and should had just left Lilly in to do that.
Is Belliard a waste or what?!!!!
Nice way to burn through the bench. Lilly was at 87 pitches, why pull him?
Joe is an idiot!!!!! A FREAKING IDIOT!!!!!
Let's be honest did we really think Lilly was going to pitch a CG?
I forgot the attendance but it's around 38,000+ and maybe this time it would be around that for the rest of the season
Now it's getting scary-can we hold this lead?
I just started having trouble with MLB.TV, first time in months.
A lot of freeze screens.
Get Jansen to warm up.
lol the slap half bunt
I will be very happy when JoJo goes away. I hope Honeycutt goes with him. I'm not sure that Mattingly is the answer. We need a manager with brains and balls!! Where have you gone Mike Scioscia!!!! Damn'!!!!
I can't believe he pulled Lilly, but Shad you are right! I didn't expect Joe to let him pitch a CG. How ridiculous would that be to allow a pitcher who has pitched so well to give his game up to our bullpen, but that's Joe for ya!!
It was a lovely evening watching the gnats win 8-0 😦
Well, we need some Johnny says gang!!!!
It's nail biting time.
Collie – I was stuck in the time warp last night too. It is kind of fun if it works.
Oldbrooklynfan – I am surprised any Dodger fans have nails left at this point.
Not liking this move at all! HATING JOE MORE AND MORE EVERYDAY!!!!!
Fu'Q'all!!! WooHoo, win streak!!! Nice job Lilly!!!
What does Johnny say boys and girls?
Fu Q y'all, but you should have let Lilly finish this one!!!!
well that is the best dodgers win Ive seen in a long time, and the best dodgers news all day. DL furcal? Manny extended, Weaver?
Geez! now we win 2 more in a row
Hi ITD Cheers!
I agree with you, Nellyjune! Lilly was sailing along.
Great pitching job by Lilly tonight. I was a little worried after the home run by Tejada, but he settled down really well.
I don't like the fact that we helped the Giants but I'm happy for Broxton and the Dodgers (and the rest of us).
That was a tremendous performance by Ted Lilly. Let me call him "The Giglio". italian for "Lilly".
Oh Nelly, not me, I don't have any left either.
Excelsior True Blue Believers!!
I was telling Wifey about the DL'ing of Weaver, Ferks back, and Manny's continued leg problem and she responed with the quote of the day… "That's what happens when you sign a bunch of old dudes…". She isn't just cute but funny!!
I am not to thrilled with helping the Giants out at this point, but I agree…………….we definitely needed this. If we want a chance at the top, we need the top to start falling down, and we just knocked the Padres down one.
My thinking while watching the Giants/Rockies game is that whoever is in charge of the game balls gave the secret ball bag of "leave the park in droves baseballs" to the wrong dugout.
Your wifey is funny!!!
Hello and goodnight once again Jhall!!!! Have a wonderful tomorrow.
lol but didn't the Giants win 10-0 instead of 8-0?
I am sure you are aware of this because I haven't read the entire thread, but JP hit a homerun today. Pigs must have flown overhead today 🙂
38,886 (69.4% full) – % is based on regular season capacity
They may have, but they changed the channel after it was 8-0, and I got to finish watching the Dodger game 🙂
First and foremost……We won a damnnnnnnn game. Not to take anything away from Joe Pierre and the expierience we all were privlidged to be a part off. But our own team mom and true mom, went beyond the call of duty, without any publicity. They invited me into thier home, when I was without one of my own. They gave me hope when few others would. I cannot begin to describe all the sacrifices that not only Nelly and Tru went through, to see me through these tough times, not to mention the other half. You know the Giant side. Bill~ Mike, I mean you……Love ya death…….This was brought about through ITD, and it is the foundation of everything, I want my Dodgers to stand for. I really don't know where I am going with this, but I feel propelled to say how I feel. I think the world of the comments on here, I really do. I am going to take a step back now…….but seriously, if this was you being critized, or someone you cared about, would you feel good with what was being said??? Would you say the same to a neighbor, a friend?? The Dodgers of yesteryear are a great example of what is good in the game of baseball….I think that is what we are all trying to portray…….I, just think ,somewhere along the lines we all, myself included have lost track of what we want this club to be……..I love the Dodgers, and in saying this, I believe in living life ,baseball and otherwise to the contrary……BE L.A.!!!!!!
This goes out to the Boy's………..
Come on/ Come on………..
Ain't nothin to it……But to do it…..
Ain't nothin to it, but to do it!!!!
Good Morning ITDland. Thank-you, Dodger4life, for your kind words. I enjoyed having you 🙂
Let's try for a two game winning streak tonight — GO DODGERS!!!
By firstname.lastname@example.com on August 3, 2010 5:49 PM
sorry my comp was having problems, but I agree with you.
A win..but gosh Broxton makes me nervous now. first pitch ball and always in hitters counts. but we won!! we can still do this, but not with those two loosers at the top of the order. Ned has made us worse on offense if thats possible cause now that idiot Torre is gonna hit low obp, low poer guys the most at bats again. It's a Juan Pierre nightmare all over again for me..
Hello ITD!
I was worry there for a minute when I saw Lilly wearing #29 but he came thru! And I was so happy for Broxton to get the save.
Great job on the song BP1!
I am excited that I and my guest get to watch BP ON the field tonight and I am finally going to get my baseball!
Thank you Jeff!
thank you Joe Torre!
I think it's pitching and defense. Every year, every team I have seen goes in and out of the offense but as long as you pitch well and catch well…Like there were alot of games earlier in the year we lost 8-6 or whatever. It's like in golf of course you want to stripe it but when you are not if you have a solid defensive game (short game + strategy) you can still score decent. Just ask Bob! Right Bob???
DODGER4LIFE: Your energy is contagious! LOVE IT! LET'S GO DODGERS, LET'S GO!
JASON – I don't like BROXTON…Each time he comes on I have to walk away. I've attended so many games were we are winning and BROXTON BLOWS IT AWAY! I don't know how HE GOT THE SAVE. 2 players manage to get on base and if it wasn't for the fast thinking of the INFIELDERS we would of tied or even lost last night's game. BROXTON sucks. BLOW IT BROXTON! ONE-PITCH PITCHER (he only has the fast ball). And yes he makes me extremely nervous too! Now I should completely blame him since management were the ones to put him as the closer when he was NOT ready!
But to keep spreading DODGER4LIFE'S ENERGY…….
and when he comes back
and something we didn't have
Oh just realized….we had all the above mentioned last year and it was NOT good enough. :0(
