1. | Second Life | ||
A game where desperate people with no lives or friends get to live out their dreams of social acceptance and sex.
The vast majority of Second Life players are unattractive and socially awkward. With Second Life, nerds everywhere that are deprived of sex in their 1st life can have virtual sex in their Second Life. Woo!
2. | Second Life | ||
A virtual world in which a desperately lonely person can adopt an alter ego and live out an utterly pointless existence every bit as mundane as their non-virtual life. The "noughties" version of Dungeons and Dragons but without the trolls and orcs. A baffling and ultimately sad indictment of how people interact today. Having failed to get a "first" life I think I'll try and make friends in Second Life. (Crushing disappointment follows)
3. | Second Life | ||
A digital world where people without a first life mingle and be pathetic togethor in harmony. "Timmy and I play Second Life and then we watch reruns of our middle school graduation while masturbating."
4. | Second Life | ||
An unstable, unsecured virtual real time chat platform/medium, that claims no responsibility for anything, brought to you by the creator of an internet video conferencing sofeware, which was later acquired by RealNetworks. Players are generally in their 20s or 40s'
Where one (as a predator or victim) can waste lots of real time and monies w/ delusions of reliving a bettered remembered "glory days" as any sex or creature or thing, killing time w/ desperate housewives, retirees, drunks, the mentally ill and different dregs of ppls on Government Assistance, validating their time playing by creating crap or on sexual conquests, while they avoid their real life (aka 1st life) waiting for their 3rd life (aka death). Recent media attention, I.R.S., pedophilia, hacked accounts, constant kiddie scripted disruptions. Second Life "Come for the hoes, stay for the lolz!"
Second Life "I hang on Second Life waiting for WOW to finish their maintenance." Second Life "Where PS/coding skills make you are God!" Second Life "The internet's' final frontier for your rents!" Second Life "One word, lag!" |
5. | second life | ||
A virtual world where it's so much more fun to be a griefer by loading up on bombs, guns, nukes, and other weapons to go around shooting people, blowing up events, and pissing people off than it is to actually waste your time & money in an otherwise pointless nerd role-playing exercise. Those losers in Second Life just hate it when I walk into their precious little "virtual party" and just start lobbing grenades all over the place.
6. | Second Life | ||
A Massive Multilayer Online Game made by Linden Labs, referred to as SL for short. It functions as an online metaverse where the content is created by the users from in game resources, and things uploaded from the computers of the users. Because of this the game has its own economy, and in game money (Lindens) can be traded for real world money. The game is free to play, but a fee is required if a player wishes to own in game land. Land in the game is divided up into Islands, the Islands are set from the Linden Labs owned Mainland, to the private Islands that sit apart from the mainland collection of islands. A island on SL is more commonly known as 'a Sim'. Almost anything can be found in second life from shopping to dance clubs, to cyber sex, and even roleplaying sims. Second Life is an Massive Multiplayer Online Game.
7. | Second Life | ||
A virtual world created by a company based out of California known as Linden Labs. The world takes the form of a collection of "sims" owned by players which cost an amount of rent to LL per month. Each sim is based off of a physical server at LL headquarters. In-world money, known as lindens can be exchanged to real world money (most world currencies) and it is this fact that makes Second Life so successful. Unlike other MMOGs (massive multiplayer online games), Second Life offers the opportunity for the acquisition of real world profit. I just got rich selling virtual shit that doesn't even do anything on Second Life.

Veteran actor Edward Woodward, who was known for his roles in The Wicker Man and The Equalizer, died today.
The 79-year-old had been suffering from various illnesses, including pneumonia, and died in hospital, his agent said.
Janet Glass released a statement praising his 'brave spirit and wonderful humour'.
It said: 'Universally loved and admired through his unforgettable roles in classic productions such as Breaker Morant, The Wicker Man, Callan, The Equalizer and many more, he was equally fine and courageous in real life, never losing his brave spirit and wonderful humour throughout his illness.
'He was further sustained by the love of his wife, Michele, children, Tim, Peter, Sarah and Emily, his grandchildren and numerous friends. His passing will leave a huge gap in many lives.'
The English actor, who recently starred in EastEnders, was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2003 and underwent triple bypass surgery in 1996.
In March this year he made his Albert Square debut as Tommy Clifford over a drink in the Queen Vic.
Woodward, who found fame in the 1980s TV series The Equalizer as Robert McCall, claimed to be writing a book.
Originally a Shakespearean actor, Woodward became famous in the Cold War espionage thriller series, Callan, in the Seventies and has starred in a number of films, including The Wicker Man (1973) and Hot Fuzz (2007).
Reverence the Sacrifice...

Donations From Near And Far Make "Super Saturday" In Bayville An Overwhelming Success
Event for storm victims ran from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Just before "Super Saturday" kicked off, the ambulance bays and storage areas at the Bayville First Aid Squad buildings were filled nearly up to the ceilings with donations.
The myriad of items were testimony to the generosity of others, not just from Bayville, not just from Ocean County, but as far away as Florida.
Just ask Bill Vernay - the third generation of a family-owned moving company and Paterson native - who helped truck 350 boxes of donations from Florida residents up to Bayville.
The devastation at the Jersey Shore hit home for many in the Ft. Myers and Coral Gables area, because many are originally from New Jersey, including Vernay, whose parents rented a home in Seaside Heights for many summers.
10,000 pounds of care
"There are a lot of people from New Jersey," Vernay said. "They came to me. One of my drivers brought it up. I flew into Atlantic City and rented a car."
The relief supplies were put together by the Notre Dame Club, The United Irish Club, the Moose Lodge and Eagles Club in Lee County, Florida, he said.
"Each box in essence is a hurricane relief kit that a family may use to help recover from the storm," said Dan McWeeny, President of the United Irish of Southwest Florida.
Some of the boxes and bags came with handwritten notes to storm victims.
"NY-NJ, God Bless" was written in Magic Marker one bag.
"These are people who really care," Vernay said. "They retired from this area. They never expected this to happen."
Donations included clothing of all sizes, shoes, cleaning supplies, personal items, toothpaste, toys, tools, non-perishable canned and boxed foods, paper products, hand-knit afghans, blankets, bedding and even some Christmas items.
The event was coordinated by Central Regional High School Vice-Principal Michelle Ramsay, who credited Superintendent Triantafillos Parlanpanides and Mayor Carmen F. Amato Jr. for coming up with the idea.
Other donations came from as far as Virginia. Some of the items given away yesterday were from previous local food and clothing drives, Ramsay said.
Yesterday's event ran from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Members of the New Jersey National Guard were also on hand to truck any leftover items to their barracks, where they have been deployed.
"The point of this was also to give back to all who have given to us," she said. "We are happy we are able to help and grateful to those who continue to donate."
At one point yesterday afternoon, a small boy approached one of the National Guardsmen as he loaded boxes on a truck.
"Will you be my Dad?" the boy asked him.
"Son, I'm every kid's Dad," he replied.

A HUGE Thank You, to the Bayville First Aid Squad, for offering the use of their squad building, time, and continued dedication to the betterment of our community. Especially Pat Sperber, Bill & Maryann Thoma, Bob Woods, Tom Higgins, Phil Bruce and Mike McCabe for your hard work these past two days.
Additional Thanks goes to Mark Vannella and his Sanitation crew, Berkeley PD, and Mayor Carmen Amato for their support.
Special thanks: CR Board member Denise Pavone-Wilson, Superintendent Dr.Parlapanides, Principal Dr. Corbett, Supervisors Louise Pesci & Felicya Morreale, Assistant Principal Tim Murphy, Central teachers and students that volunteered, and those from the community that graciously stepped in and sorted cloths for hours.
This event brought tears to people's eyes, and warmed their hearts with your generosity.

Oh forgot to say....that the township paid garbage truck employees sat on the side of road waiting to have left over items dumped in there trucks..I could not believe my eyes:(
Keeping whats mine
6:41 am on Monday, December 10, 2012
Thats what has been said before. Over paid and under worked. At least they weren't sitting at home with the truck, this time.

Michelle Ramsey and her volunteers from the school and first aid squad did a fabulous job. Tireless hours of dedication to this project was not overlooked ! Thank you
Patricia A. Miller

Public Works employees transported the leftover donations to AmVets and the Salvation Army. They worked on Super Saturday to help out.
Berkeley resident
11:20 am on Monday, December 10, 2012
My husband worked for hours with a bad back to help clean up the mess. He missed all family plans on Saturday and was so exhausted when he came home that he immediately fell asleep. Don't group all sanitation workers together especially when you don't even know what's going on -

Officials say some students from Junior High School 292 in East New York deliberately tossed garbage into the reflecting pools on Thursday.
The pools mark the footprints of the Twin Towers.
The kids were tossed out of the memorial after the incident.
Officials are taking the opportunity to remind people the site is a solemn place sacred to many who lost loved ones in the attacks and should be respected.

Ukulele Pup
Just a little sketch I did a few days ago.
I've been painting some dogs on the walls of a local animal shelter recently (it's a non-profit, so this is all pro bono). This fellow was just for me. Maybe soon, I will take some photos of the shelter walls and post them, too.

yeah, now go bring yourself home a doggie, or a kitten. yes yes, you look like the kind of person who needs a pet...ooor more pets. =)

Yes, Lydia, all three of our pets are from the shelter.
And Mr. Hobbit... Oh, yes! I love dem monkeys! I'll doodle one up and post it soon. Love your sight, by the way. I'm looking for the chords to "Ama'ama" by Sam Alama. Got any leads? I'm comin' up dry. - 7:29 PM
Awesome drawing, Tim! For some reason, it makes me think of "Lady and the Tramp." Have no idea why...
So is the dog playing a guitar, or a ukulele? My bet's on the uke.
A Nonny Mouse - 7:31 PM
- Tim said...
Yup, it's a Uke.
Kind of a visual pun: To tune a ukulele, you sing "my dog has fleas". to the notes G,C,E & A (the G being higher than the C - it's weird, I know. Trust me.)

Seems like te hound dog is howling, as he plugs into the setting . . . pickn' and a grin' his old uke.
Actually, I already knew about the notes on a ukulele. I had three friends in high school that played ukuleles. They called themselves the "Puky Ukes" but they were really quite talented.
The thing I didn't know was that you sang "my dog has fleas" while you tuned a ukulele. Now that's interesting!
A. N. Mouse - 5:14 AM
- Howlin' Hobbit said...
Sorry I haven't gotten back to you sooner (I never subscribe to comment RSS's so I just sorta have to remember to check).
I've never heard of the song you mention. My suggestion would be to ask around in the ukulele forums. I'd try the
>Flea Market Music one and the
>Ukulele Cosmos one. Both require registration but both are great resources (though I tend to "hang out" more at the Cosmos).
- Tim said...
Hey there Hobbit. The song is on Iz's Facing Future album (Track 2). It's a song about all the ways to eat fish.
I'll check Ukulele Cosmos. Already checked Flea Market. Nothing there.
Thanx for the tip! - 10:42 AM

Unreal Super Bowl Media Day Legends
by Patrick Imig (@patrickimig)
Cold Hard Football Facts Fabulous Fabulist
Today marks the annual spectacle that is Super Bowl Media Day. It's an outstanding event that gives media members unfiltered access to players, since the media never has a chance to ask questions of athletes and coaches. Right.
Before we watch the Super Bowl in all its glory this Sunday, read about how much better Media Day would be if these events actually took place. You'll notice the use of Arabic numerals as the timeline goes on. This isn't a knock on your ability to translate Roman numerals, it's a means to prevent you from straining your eyes while staring at the numbers on your screen.
SUPER BOWL III – Along with a victory over the Colts, Joe Namath guaranteed he'd sleep with every female sports reporter before the game in the trainer's room in Los Angeles.
SUPER BOWL IV – In an ominous sign for Vikings Super Bowl teams, the entire Minnesota roster failed to show for its first media day at Tulane Stadium.
SUPER BOWL VI – In the first sign of individual sponsorships in sports advertising, Dolphins head coach Don Shula placed packages of Nutrisystem meal on his podium during interviews. Following the Dolphins 24-3 loss to the Cowboys, the Miami Herald summed up the game with a headline that read "Nutrisystem offense."
SUPER BOWL IX (9) - Minnesota Vikings head coach Bud Grant scolded every media member who smoked cigarettes and drank during Super Bowl week.
SUPER BOWL XV (15) – Dick Vermeil made history when he conducted the first media day interview in history while openly weeping.
SUPER BOWL XVII (17) – Joe Theismann set a Super Bowl Media Day record with a 17-minute, 2,500-word answer to a reporter's question.
SUPER BOWL XIX (19) – Having learned from his head coach Don Shula, Dan Marino wore Isotoner Gloves during Super Bowl Media Day. Marino wore the gloves all the way in to the Super Bowl. He removed them after his second interception.
SUPER BOWL XXIII (23) – Just days before Jerry Rice set the single game Super Bowl receiving record (215 yards), a mystified Sam Whyche responded to a media day question asking, "Who is this Jerry Rice you speak of?"
SUPER BOWL XXVII (26) – Redskins quarterback Mark Rypien defiantly proclaimed he had a better sidepart than his Buffalo counterpart, Jim Kelly. He was right.
SUPER BOWL XXXIII (33) – While having sex with various hookers during Super Bowl week, Falcons safety Eugene Robinson wore Ray Buchanan's media day dog collar. According to one anonymous hooker, Robinson was also barking like a dog.
SUPER BOWL XXXVI (34) - When a Titans beat writer questioned Rams quarterback Kurt Warner's faith, Jesus appeared at Warner's podium and transformed the media microphones into officially licensed NFL Wilson footballs.
SUPER BOWL XXXVII (37) - ESPN'S Chris Berman actively sought international media members for interviews of Chris Berman.
Wait. That really happened.
SUPER BOWL XL (40) – Jerome Bettis made a majority of sports writers cry at Ford Field when he revealed his hometown of Detroit was actually Detroit, Oregon. A record 2300 retractions were published in the following 24 hours by writers clarifying their previous hometown hero stories.
SUPER BOWL XLIII (43) – James Harrison was fined $10,000 by the league for promising to reporters he was going to "hit someone" in the Super Bowl.
SUPER BOWL XLV (45) – Steelers DT Brett Keisel wowed onlookers when he dropped former teammate Amos Zereoue from the depths of his beard.
SUPER BOWL XLVI (46) - Mathias Kiwanuka sacked ESPN reporters after failing to get the hometown hero, Jerome Bettis treatment.
Also, Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski -- hobbled ankle and all -- starred in his own private film titled "Tight End entices hot MILF with a tight end" which was unreleased in NFL Films circles. Due to age and lack of children, adult film star Bibi Jones was overlooked for the role. As such, she sent out feelers for fellow Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez and former New England All Pro Ben Coates. Former H-Back Marv Cook was overlooked, however.

The National Foundation for American Policy released a policy brief last week that says international students who graduate from U.S. universities with advanced degrees in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) should get a green card "stapled" to their diplomas. With a growing number of Ph.D.s and Masters degrees earned by foreign nationals in these fields, plus a tremendous backlog on available green cards, US competitiveness is suffering.
Each day, Innovation Daily checks the pulse of global innovation-- courtesy of Innovation America. Here, we take a look at a handful of relevant stories it compiled last week:
Using words like "uncertain," "fragile" and "weak," 96 percent of top economics bloggers now share a gloomy outlook on the U.S. economy. Only half expect employment growth in the next three years while only 2 percent consider the US economy to be 'strong and growing' and two-thirds feel the government is already too involved in the economy.
What is going on in Canada?
A couple of weeks ago, we pointed out a recent Forbes study that ranked Canada as the 'best country for business.' Apparently Forbes weren't the only ones impressed with the US neighbors to the north as another study emerged last week with Canada on top.
A newly released study shows that new businesses have a higher propensity to use websites, email and to sell their products and services online—which makes absolute sense to anyone who has been to a Startup Weekend recently or even just thought about how get a business off the ground without a mountain of cash up front. The data from the study, "Casting a Wide Net: Online Activities of Small and News Businesses in the United States," also show the logical correlation between that activity and the resulting positive impact on capitalization and longevity.
Last Thursday, members of the Subcommittee on Science and Space met to discuss the reauthorization of the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) with a witness panel of five experts in the revolutionary field of nanotechnology. Created in 2000, the NNI has facilitated communication and collaboration between 25 federal agencies involved in groundbreaking nanotechnology research.
This Week in Entrepreneurship Policy.
Companies established in 2009 could employ one million fewer people than the historic norm. That is the alarming bottom line from a recent Kauffman study that shows the U.S. jobs problem pre-dates the Great Recession of 2007-2009. The research suggests that the country faces a far more fundamental employment challenge—a long-term trend that the researchers call a slow jobs "leak."
There is not an iota of doubt that the current tax code has serious problems, in the sense that it seems to favor more the issuance of debt, rather than the issuance of equity for businesses to raise capital. But what are some of these problems? A few of them came to light at a Joint Congressional Testimony of the House Committee on Ways and Means and the Senate Finance Committee.

Zsírozás: Overview
This card game for 2 to 4 players is known as Zsírozás in Hungary, Hola in Poland and Sedma in Slovakia. Two teams of two are formed in 4-player games. The game is played with 32 cards. The player who sets up the game must decide on the score that must be reached to win.At the start of the game each player receives 4 cards. Any card can be played. Therefore you need not follow suit nor take the trick with trumps. The last card with the same rank as the first card played wins the trick. The 7s are jokers.
The aim of the game is to take the most tricks. Once all of the cards have been played, and your team has outscored the other team, you receive one point. If you or your team scores 80 points during the game, you receive 2 points on your score sheet. And if a team manages to win all of the tricks, it scores 3 points.

Evolution and Christian Faith Grantees Announced
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
Series: Biblical and Scientific Shortcomings of Flood Geology
Gregg Davidson and Ken Wolgemuth seek to remove the stumbling block of the Genesis flood in this four part series. Though many believe in an ancient world-wide flood, the evidence given does not hold up to geological scrutiny, but points rather to something regional instead. It is their hope that Christians will not walk away from faith in Christ simply because a global flood is not supported by science. Looking at natural phenomena like the Grand Canyon, salt beds, and fossil deposits, they reveal reasons for these deposits and structures while showing that their origin did not stem from a violent flood that covered the planet.
Series: The Meaning of mîn in the Hebrew Old Testament
The related ideas of the "fixity of species" and "natural kinds" have been prominent in the science and faith conversation. Some Christians take Genesis to mean that God created (bara) fixed species (mîn). But does the text truly indicate such a concept? Biblical scholar Dr. Richard Hess looks at the Biblical context and meaning of the Hebrew mîn, and suggests that when Christians use it to frame our understanding of the entire created order, we may be asking too much of this single word.
Series: But Does it Move? John Lennox on Science and the Bible
Taken from Chapter 2 of John Lennox's book Seven Days That Divide The World, this three part series looks at scripture interpretation. Lennox looks especially at the Galileo controversy regarding the movement of the Earth and why our own interpretations do not necessarily call into question the authority of the Scripture.
Series: The Genesis of Everything
Theologian, historian and Christian apologist Dr. John P. Dickson addresses the history and interpretation of Genesis 1. Making no claims about human biological origins, Dickson urges us to treat the early chapters of Genesis as a literary and historical statement, and listen carefully to it on those terms.
Below the Surface; Behind the Scene
In this video, Alister McGrath discusses the importance of going beyond surface readings, both in Scripture and in the natural world. The parable of the sower, for example, contains a far deeper meaning than a story of a man scattering seed.
Gaining Perspective
In today's video, Michael Ramsden discusses the humility and openness we need to have before we approach Scripture.
Adventist Origins of Young Earth Creationism
Many evangelicals believe that Young Earth Creationism is the only authentic, biblical way for Christians to understand origins, and that until the advent of Darwin's theory of evolution, it was the only view held by Christians. However, in this excerpt from Saving Darwin, Karl Giberson explains that Young Earth Creationism's origins are surprisingly recent.
God's Accommodation to Humans
According to Calvin, accommodation is a pedagogical tool that God employs to communicate to human beings. If God wishes to speak to us, he must bridge the gulf by descending into our world and speaking our language. In other words, God accommodates himself to our ability to comprehend.
A Pastor's Perspective on the Dangers of an Ultra-Literal Perspective
In this video Conversation, Greg Boyd notes that some believers conceive of their faith as a "house of cards"—where shifting one element will collapse the whole thing.
On Myth and Meaning
In this video, John Walton talks about ancient myth and how we might better understand it if we think about its intended functionality—that is, myths were a way to explain a culture's origin and universal significance though they lacked the advances of scientific discovery.
N.T. Wright on Understanding Ancient Texts
In this video Conversation, N.T. Wright emphasizes the importance of understanding the context of biblical texts in order to know whether to read them as literal or metaphorical narratives.
Series: The Flood: Not Global, Barely Local, Mostly Theological
The three part series, written by Paul Seely, explores the scientific validity of the Flood in Genesis. He offers the approximate date of the flood according to Scripture, and then looks at various lines of evidence that contradict the idea of a global flood at that time. In light of other Mesopotamian flood stories, scholars conclude that the flood was local at best. In the end, he suggests that this story primarily reveals theological truths from a limited scientific understanding of natural events.
Reading Nature and Reading Scripture
I recently led a seminar on faith and science at a large Christian music festival in rural Illinois. One pugilistic gentleman bulldogged me all week, insisting that geologists and biologists were misguided and mistaken. "If evolution is right," he said, "then the Bible is wrong―about everything."
Comparing Interpretations of Genesis 1
For concordists, the temptation is to interpret every Bible verse to match the current scientific picture. For non-concordists, the temptation is to interpret every Bible verse that appears to disagree with science as figurative.
Revealing God's Nature
In today's video, Brian McLaren discusses the value of considering Scripture in light of the cultures that surrounded them. The Biblical writers were aware of the myths of the power nations that surrounded them, but flipped their stories on their heads to reveal truth about God.
Narrative Theology
When addressing the science and faith dialogue, one of the first things we must look at is how we interpret scripture. In today's video, Nancey Murphy discusses the importance of narratives as a tool for the ancient writers to teach theological truths, especially about the nature of creation.
Biblical Genre and Relational Truth
In today's video, theologian Chris Tilling discusses biblical genre and the relational truth of Scripture. Tilling notes that when we read the Biblical text, we bring our own presuppositions and assumptions to the text (what theologians call "eisegesis").
Series: From the Dust
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.
Evangelicals, Creation, and Scripture: An Overview
Mark Noll, historian and author of The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind, enumerates 15 attitudes, assumptions, and convictions he considers to be most influential in inciting anti-intellectual sentiment among evangelical Christians.

Motorcyclist Sent to Hospital with Life-Threatening Injuries
The accident between a motorcycle and a van has closed down Route 1 southbound to traffic.
UPDATE 2:15 p.m.: Route 1 at Telegraph Road is now open, according to Fairfax County Police.
A crash at Route 1 and Telegraph Road Wednesday afternoon involving a van and motorcycle has sent the motorcyclist to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, according to Officer Eddy Azcarate, spokesman for the Fairfax County Police Department.
The motorcyclist, driving a black Harley-Davidson motorcycle, was involved in a crash with the driver of a tan minivan and was flown to Inova Mount Vernon Hospital.
The driver of the minivan, a woman, was also sent to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
A 911 call came in to Fairfax County Police at 12:34 and police were on the scene at 12:35 p.m.
A crash reconstruction team from Fairfax County is on the scene.
The accident has closed down Route 1 southbound to traffic. Southbound drivers are being diverted to Fairfax County Parkway. Traffic headed north on Route 1 cannot make a left onto Telegraph Road.
Patch will update this story as more information becomes available.
6:09 pm on Wednesday, September 26, 2012
I go through this intersection almost every day. I constantly see people racing for long standing yellow lights going almost 70 miles an hour. Fairfax Police should pay more attention to this intersection during rush hours, especially in the morning hours.

Thank you for all the concerns....the family just asks for your prayers!
11:08 am on Thursday, September 27, 2012
93 year old woman in minivan ran a red light, hitting motorcyclist.
11:21 am on Thursday, September 27, 2012
How is the motorcyclist? How can we help him and his family????
Sally Spangler
12:46 pm on Thursday, September 27, 2012
SPEED! Make it across that light before it changes and you have to wait another 3 minutes! How important is it to get through that intersection at this instant and not the next light? I pray for both people, for the Major and for the elderly woman. Telegraph and US1 have ALWAYS been a problem spot! May they live to see active life once more.
6:29 pm on Thursday, September 27, 2012
there was a funeral precession directly in front of her going through the red light w/o any police at the light... and it may have played a role in her going thru the red light
margie cockrill
7:52 pm on Thursday, September 27, 2012
I hope I misread the age of the elderly woman? Did I see 93? What is she doing on the road....obviously has judgement problems.......
Sally Spangler
8:25 pm on Thursday, September 27, 2012
Margie - look up - her stated age is 83 - !
9:40 am on Friday, September 28, 2012
Margie...do you personally know this woman?? My guess is probably not...this is why they are called accidents. So why don't people stop and think about that. There are no further details on how it happened so before you go accusing people why don't you wait to hear the facts. All that matters is that they both are ok and make a full recovery.
Sally Spangler
9:57 am on Friday, September 28, 2012
There are two left turn lanes on that corner. Next to those is one through lane and then three lanes to turn right, two of them turn right only on the light. From what I see in the first picture is that the bike was destroyed and the car was damaged on the right side to the complete destruction of that side. That leads me to believe the bike was darting ahead to turn left and the car was in the through lane. Common speed would make that sort of damage. (I think) Both were moving and the bike was hit by a car whose driver did not see and respond fast enough to not hit the bike. The police will never give us an answer.
10:09 am on Friday, September 28, 2012
No they probably won't...the only obligation they have is to figure out the facts (by examining the actual scene..not pictures) and giving an answer the people who are directly affected by this ie the families and the two involved. So why don't we let them handle it...
Sally Spangler
2:26 pm on Wednesday, October 10, 2012
OKAY by me Meredith. I guess, my suppose is just that. Looking at the damage on the car supposes to me who was where and who is the hitter and who is the hit. BUT, it is a supposition. Anyone can do that. I did, sorry it doesn't seem right to you. S
Cynthia Mitchell
12:24 pm on Friday, September 28, 2012
The single most common accident involving motorcycles is a car turning left, from the opposite direction, in front of them. I hope the rider recovers. If you drive a car, the least you can do for the rest of us is to pay full time and attention while you wield your deadly weapon.
Michelle Nicholson Kight
6:22 pm on Friday, September 28, 2012
All witnesses have said the minivan driver turned left on red.
2:16 am on Saturday, September 29, 2012
All I hear is people making ASSUMPTIONS. As adults we all know what happens when we ASSUME things. Is rt 1 a dangerously fast moving highway with impatient drivers, yes. Should all drivers (motorcyclist included) pay attention when we "wield a deadly weapon" in the form of a motorvehicle, absolutely. Is there a law that people over a certain age can not be on the road, negative. Are there plenty of people that are younger than "93" with "obvious judgement problems", we all know a few. Witness accounts of a traumatic incident have been proven to be highly unreliable. So please let the accident investigators do their job. Let both victims of this ACCIDENT recover. And unless you are directly involved, there is nothing more that you really need to know to satisfy your own curiosity.
Luckless Pedestrian
10:02 am on Saturday, September 29, 2012
Haha, right. Well I hope the "victim" in the minivan is able to recover ok. Maybe she'll remeber to look next time. I don't even ride my bike any more, the three times a week chorus of, "I'm so sorry, i didn't see you.." was getting really old, then a woman crashed right into me from behind while I was sitting at a light behind other cars in broad daylight, on a red bike with a big, working tail light. You'll never guess what she said when I got up and turned around....
Concerned in VA
7:54 am on Saturday, September 29, 2012
From what I understand, they took him into surgery to release pressure on his brain. He is medically sedated, but can be awakened to respond with his hands. That's all I know. Very sad.
12:06 am on Sunday, September 30, 2012
Thank you for the update. I've been searching everywhere for an update on his condition. I even heard he passed away. I'm glad to hear that he's sill with us and I pray for his full recovery.
Michelle Nicholson Kight
6:56 am on Monday, October 1, 2012
I am a close friend of his wife, and I'll tell you he is an extremely conscientious rider. He was NOT at fault as detectives have confirmed.
Concerned in Lorton
7:13 pm on Tuesday, October 2, 2012
Please send our thoughts & prayers to his wife. I'm so sorry for what they are going through. :(
Concerned in Lorton
7:13 pm on Tuesday, October 2, 2012
I'm glad there are concerned human beings on this forum in addition to the negative people who acting like judge & jury. A poor man is critically injured. Pray for him. Pray for his family. Another woman (her age is irrelevent) was injured. Pray for her. Pray for her family. It was an accident. The police and lawyers will take on the responsibility of assigning blame for insurance and $ purposes. That has ZERO to do with the life that hangs in the balance. Imagine the fear of crashing in a vehicle with no doors or frame to protect you. Imagine the fear and worry for his family and for him as he goes through this nightmare. Kindly quit judging and just pray for those injured and affected. TO the families .... you're in our prayers. God bless.
8:50 pm on Tuesday, October 2, 2012
Concerned in Lorton...I couldn't have said it better. He has been in my prayers ever since it happened.
Michelle Nicholson Kight
9:09 pm on Wednesday, October 3, 2012
Prognosis is good. Still in ICU.
10:43 pm on Friday, October 5, 2012
My husband is still in Trauma ICU. He has severe brain trauma and has a long long road to recovery. He is only 35 years old and has 3 small children. He is a major in the army and served 3 tours to Iraq. He was hit by a 91 yr old women who turned left on red. These are the facts. It's been ten days and he is still on a breathing machine and has not opened his eyes. Please people keep us all in your thoughts and prayers!
Concerned in Lorton
2:48 pm on Wednesday, October 10, 2012
I'm so terribly sorry for what you & your family is going through. I've worked as an RN at Inova Fairfax Hospital and they have one of the best Trauma ICU's in the country, so he's in excellent hands. Do you and your family need meals or help? I can see what help our fellow members at our church could possibly provide. God bless.
Amy Wolf
7:54 am on Thursday, October 11, 2012
Keep the faith. I just went through a very similar MC accident with my father in Richmond. After 21 days in STICU at MCV on breathing machines, he came through. He required in patient rehab, etc but is doing well. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
12:30 am on Monday, October 22, 2012
Prayers to him and his family. Thoughts and prayers with them daily. Serious consideration for drivers at a certain age needs to be looked at with additional tests for license renewals at a certain age.
Steven M Kendall
5:12 pm on Tuesday, March 19, 2013
OK it's me, the motorcyclist. I am finally home and spending time with my family. It hasn't been easy and has been very hard, especially for my wife. I am still suffering from my TBI and my left knee is pretty much gone (all but one ligament torn) as stated earlier, we all on here need to quit making assumptions. I don't remember the accident or anything months after. What I do know is that I've always been a conscienctious motorcyclist and the other driver was found guilty in court for the incident. There is so much that I want to say but I will keep them to myself. Just know that my life and my families life has been forever changed.
Sally Spangler
10:21 am on Wednesday, March 20, 2013
Steve - the non-there at the time of the accident know more about the participants that the participants know about themselves!
God be with you as you get yourself back together. It is a long road!
Reinaldo Mas
8:09 pm on Tuesday, March 19, 2013
MAJ Kendall. I had the opportunity to be the first medical responder but I did not witness the accident. You were unconscious and not responding to painful stimuli. Pupils were approximately 3mm and equal. In addition you were having difficulty breathing with stridor. No gross bleeding observed at the scene. I secured the Aid Bag from the trunk of my car and performed basic measures while my wife waited. I apologize for cutting your clothes.
Later to learned that we were peers at ILE. I was on group 29.
Just want to said, I am glad you are back with your family.
Stay Strong.
MAJ Mas
Steven M Kendall
10:09 pm on Tuesday, March 19, 2013
Major Mass,
Words cannot adequately express my appreciation for all that you did. I don't know for a fact, but I would be willing to bet your actions saved my life. I'll even thank your wife for her patience while her husband worked magic.
Reinaldo Mas
5:39 am on Wednesday, March 20, 2013
MAJ Kendall, our appreciation to your remarks and our satisfaction is that God brought you back to your family through that magic. I was just an instrument. Thanks to you and your family for the service rendered to this great nation.
MAJ Mas

Minor League Baseball Team Introduces Bacon-Shell Taco To Menu
Mmm. Bacon.
From cupcakes to nails to fashion, no food is hotter right now than bacon. Now a minor league baseball team is getting in on the craze.
The West Michigan Whitecaps have introduced the Baco, a taco with a bacon shell.
The Class A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers held a contest featuring more than 150 fan-submitted menu ideas, with the Baco beating out an item called The Bad Joke, a corn dog covered in cheese with two strips of duck bacon on a bun. Third place was a virtual tie between Rascal Chow (popcorn, bacon and Reeses) and Teeny Weenies (little hot dogs in mini helmets).
Here's another look at the Baco, courtesy of the Whitecaps' official site.

Lent (R-East Rockaway) today launched an art com-petition for high school stu-dents in the Fourth Con-gressional District. The winning entry will be dis-played this coming summer, along with works of art from other congressional districts across the country, in a cor-ridor of the U.S. Capitol-an area dedicated to the artistic skills of today's young artists. According to Congress-man Lent, the contest is part of An Artistic Discovery, the fourth annual competi-tion implemented by Members of the U.S. House of Representatives to recog-nize the creative talents of young Americans. Between now and May 15, 1985, Members will conduct local competitions for high school students in order to select artwork to be displayed in the national exhibition. "Nothing is more impor-tant to the soul of America than its artistic heritage," said Congressman Lent. "I am happy to sponsor this competition, which allows us to encourage our young artists whose creative ener-gies are so vital to our rich cultural traditions." The competition, which is to be conducted at no expense to the federal government, is open to all high school students in the Fourth District. Artwork must be two dimensional and no larger than 30" X 30" (unframed). Eligible catego-ries are paintings, drawings, collages and prints. For further information, please contact Competition Coordinator Emma Tolm-ach at (516) 223-1616. Mother of the Year Search Several years ago the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks lodges search for the community mother who best exemplifies that appelation both inside and out of the home. The Elks thought this a fitting pursuit since the Order is family-oriented and the lodges depend heavily upon the wives of the members for support in their endeavors. Local winners are in com-petition on the district level and, finally, on the State Association level. Last year's State Association Mother of the Year was from Staten Island Lodge No. 841. She was the guest of the Association at its annual convention at the Concord Resort Hotel. Lynbrook Lodge No. 1515 is looking for a local resident, and anyone who has entered before may do so again. To qualify a mother must have excelled outside the home as well, for example, in hospital work, scouting, etc. Local mothers are invited to submit, in printed or typed form, a resume; family and friends may submit names for consideration.

Quotes to close the season
Here's a few quotable lines after the Orioles' dramatic 4-3 walkoff win over the Red Sox concluded their 2011 season…
"End of season like this, [to] make Boston go home sad, crying. I'll take it all day," said Orioles second baseman Robert Andino, whose two-out ninth-inning RBI was followed a minute later by Tampa Bay's walkoff win, effectively ending a reeling Red Sox's hopes of reaching the postseason.
"As tough as it's been this last month, we weren't ready to go home," Red Sox manager Terry Francona said. "You want to go home when you dictate. Not when somebody makes you. It's extremely disappointing."
Conversely, the Orioles will head home with wins in six of their final eight games against the Red Sox, and a collective 11-6 record down the stretch. Whether their second consecutive September surge will carry over into next spring and beyond, Orioles manager Buck Showalter –who has been heavily rumored to be a candidate to take over as the team's next president/GM – wasn't sure.
"Last year our record was better than the year before, and this year it's better than last year, and I want to keep that up," said Showalter, who –if he does move upstairs — will be faced with the tall task of reversing a trend of 14 consecutive losing seasons. "It may not seem like much to a lot of people who just look at it purely by the numbers, but it's inch by inch, claw by claw.
We didn't get where we were overnight and we've got to keep that type of relentlessness and not be denied. I don't pay a lot of lip service about what we're going to do and not do. Let's see it. That's what I'd be saying if I were the fans."

World Series Dreaming: A Never Ending Love
David Haugh column: Emotional goodbye for Chicago Cubs manager Lou Piniella - chicagotribune.com
Emotional goodbye for Piniella
Chicago Cubs manager Lou Piniella cries before the start of the game against the Atlanta Braves at Wrigley Field on Sunday. Piniella announced that he would begin his retirement after the game against the Braves Sunday.
Good Bye, Lou. We'll miss ya.Quote:
Manager happy about pleasing his family but sad about disappointing Cubs
Pinching the bridge of his nose with his left thumb and index finger as if to stop the flow of tears moistening his eyes, Cubs manager Lou Piniella winced.
Summing up his last day in uniform after 48 years in baseball proved to be more difficult than taking it off.
"I cried a little bit after the game I get emotional, I'm sorry," Piniella said Sunday in the cramped Wrigley Field interview room for the final time. "It's a good day to remember, and also it's a good day to forget."

It was a day of mixed emotions that began with the Cubs announcing Piniella was retiring effective Monday to return home to Florida to care for his ailing 90-year-old mother, Margaret, and ended with an ugly 16-5 loss to the Braves.
Before the game, Piniella delivered the news to his team in a moving speech about the importance of family and got misty-eyed acknowledging the crowd of 37,518 after exchanging lineup cards with Braves manager Bobby Cox.
Afterward, Piniella laughed and cried reflecting on his four seasons with the Cubs working in a ballpark he called "probably the most fun place in Major League Baseball."
The final Cubbie occurrence for Piniella may have come when he was asked, after an 11-run defeat that marked his team's 74th loss, if the day represented his best ever in baseball.
"It's been very special," Piniella said.
Indeed, on his last day in baseball, he was Bittersweet Lou Piniella.
Piniella felt happy about pleasing his family but sad about disappointing the Cubs, right about fulfilling his responsibilities at home but wrong about falling short of them at work.
Forgive Cubs fans if they were similarly ambivalent or had little emotion left to invest in another goodbye to Lou. After a week that included sendoffs to the organization's most popular player, Derrek Lee, and now its manager, the Cubs are running out of gold watches.
Everyone ran out of patience a long time ago.
Piniella's final day in a Cubs uniform really should have been July 20, when he announced his retirement. But Piniella originally wanted to stay until Oct. 3 in order to finish what he started, and the Cubs obliged out of respect for his Hall of Fame career.
In retrospect, the slow, painful process of disassembling a team with a $145 million payroll taxed Piniella professionally almost as much as his mother's health has worn on him personally.
For everybody's sake, the dugout probably was the last place Piniella should have been the last month. That takes nothing away from a managing career that included 1,835 wins and one day likely will land Piniella in Cooperstown, N.Y.
He is the 14th-winningest manager in major league history with a World Series ring from the 1990 Reds team he managed. Even if Piniella did most of his winning before he arrived in Wrigleyville, has a more accomplished Cubs manager ever stood on the top step of the home dugout?
Piniella's legacy with the Cubs always will be tied to being the first modern-day manager to lead the team to back-to-back playoff appearances, but careful not to exaggerate his historic impact. Revisionist historians repeated the notion Sunday that Piniella "raised the bar," for the Cubs, but that's not entirely accurate or fair to his predecessor, Dusty Baker.
Expectations changed Cubs culture most dramatically after the 2003 season under Baker, not after 2007 or '08 under Piniella, and credit Jim Hendry for making that distinction briefly as he otherwise lathered Piniella with deserved praise.
What both Piniella and Baker shared was the hefty reputation they brought to the job, a marquee quality nobody should expect the next Cubs manager to possess.
Dusty. Lou. Something tells me you will have to call whomever Hendry hires in October by his first and last names so baseball fans know who he is. The Ricketts Era could mark the end of the celebrity manager at Clark and Addison.
Could that mean no "Ryno"? Sure. If the Cubs believed Ryne Sandberg had the inside track at being their next manager, don't you think he would have been given the shot to manage the final 37 games instead of Mike Quade?
Given the parameters for the next manager outlined by a source close to the search process, Piniella's successor will be a young, hands-on teacher who is as likely to follow a spreadsheet analysis as his gut. Out with instinct, in with integers, and strategists must value statistics even more.
You might say the Cubs are in the midst of fully converting to baseball's sabermetric system.
If the next manager has an established name, great. But those guys also cost money. It's hard to imagine the new ownership regime taking measures to streamline a bloated payroll doling out $5 million a year for someone to fill out the lineup. The reality of that trend may not bode well for those hoping to see Joe Girardi change his pinstripes from Yankees navy blue to Cubbies royal blue.
"I don't have a front-runner,'' Hendry said. "To label anyone as the favorite right now would be absolutely foolish."
It would be equally foolish to think Piniella's successor will appreciate the opportunity more than he did. Ironic that, on his last day on the job, the guy who occasionally sounded like an outsider to Cubdom never felt more like he belonged.
The crowd was chanting "LOUUUUU,'' and not "BOOOOO," right?
"It was a nice tribute," Piniella said. "I was very appreciative, very moved, very touched. I want to thank everybody. I won't have to make any more explanations to you people."
With that Piniella chuckled and wiped away another tear before one of baseball's great managers walked off to be a good son.
Go Cubs!!

Joe Girardi: Great expectations
But, really, don't believe Yankees manager would bolt New York to attempt resurrection with Cubs
How much imagination do you have?
Mine was taxed by the sight of the Yankees manager sitting in the visiting dugout at U.S. Cellular Field, talking to a throng of reporters about whether he would consider leaving the defending World Series champions to manage whatever is left of the Cubs in 2011.
There was Northwestern grad Joe Girardi on Friday night, as scheduled, pleasantly holding court on the subject of potentially jumping ship amid a discussion of Andy Pettitte's workout and how he wished both the Rays and Red Sox both could lose when they play each other. He was congenial, if not forthcoming, and everyone involved was much more civil than they surely would have been 25 years ago across 35th Street at Comiskey Park.
Where was the great New York reporter Murray Chass or even a young Joel Sherman to yell at Chicago reporters for cutting into their time? And why wasn't the manager in fear of losing his job for speaking of life without pinstripes? Man, times really have changed.
But would Girardi really leave the Yankees to try to end the Cubs' curse? Could he get over being turned away in favor of Lou Piniella four years ago?
Normally I wouldn't think any of us would have that much imagination. But the longer Girardi talked before the start of the White Sox's biggest series of the summer, the more it seemed like the Peoria native might be ready for a homecoming.
"As I've said all along, my responsibility is to the Yankees,'' Girardi began. "I was hired by the Yankees to do a job. We're in a division race, a very tight division race, and my job is to prepare the club. I have a responsibility to the Steinbrenner family. They have treated me great, treated my family great. I have a responsibility to (general manager Brian Cashman) to do everything I can for this team to win.''
Through October, anyway.
"My faith has always been extremely important to me,'' said Girardi, a mixed image with braces on his teeth and Peter Fonda shades across his eyes. "I've never worried about next year. I'm happy with my contract situation. I feel I'm fortunate to be one of 30 managers with a contract right now managing in the big leagues. We're not worried about it for next year. I'm worried about right now.''
Girardi was asked if he was uncomfortable addressing a possible split with baseball's traditional superpower.
"Yeah, but I assumed (this) was going to happen,'' he said about his becoming the focus of interest in Chicago. "(Reporters) have a job to do. I understand that.''
Girardi never said the one thing Yankee fans probably would have loved to hear and the one thing the late George Steinbrenner in mid-life would have insisted he say: That he would stay in New York as long as the Yankees wanted him.
Girardi seemed wound tight in his first season in New York but has become remarkably open on a variety of topics, including his father's 15-year battle with Alzheimer's. He went to see his dad Thursday, an off day after a series in Toronto, and said with delight that his father had shocked him in a brief, unexpected conversation.
"Every time I see him I think it might be my last,'' Girardi said. " It was wonderful to see him.''
You can understand why Girardi and his wife, Kim, think about Chicago. But is the pull of home enough to walk away from a chance to have a shot at winning the World Series every season he manages?
I did a quick, highly unscientific straw poll on the question. The vote was 12-4 that he still will be in New York, and I find it surprising that one in four observers (none based in Chicago, by the way) believe Girardi could leave.
Call me cynical, but I don't see him at Wrigley Field next April. I think he's going to stay in New York, assuming the Yankees do present a super-sized contract extension.
Meanwhile, Cubs GM Jim Hendry (who bypassed him to hire Piniella) will work the four-corners offense in his managerial search, patiently evaluating Mike Quade and wading through interviews with Eric Wedge and others like him while waiting to see if Girardi does become available. He will ask himself over and over why he doesn't just give the job to Ryne Sandberg, and then he will go check the Yankee score.
Sandberg rocks vote
In first season at Iowa, Ryno named PCL's manager of year with Iowa
Ryne Sandberg was named the Pacific Coast League's manager of the year Friday, which can only put more pressure on the Cubs and general manager Jim Hendry in the search for a new manager.
In only one season at Iowa, the Hall of Famer topped 15 others for the honor with the Iowa Cubs still in a tight race for the playoffs. But more than potential postseason play for the I-Cubs, Sandberg, 50, was singled out for guiding the team to an 80-60 record with four games left -- good for a first-place tie in the North Division -- and for having the best road record in the league at 43-29.
That's the best league road record since 2002, when Las Vegas was 44-28.
At the same time, eight of Sandberg's players have come up to the major-league club, and they included some of the PCL's best talents -- including Class AAA All-Stars Thomas Diamond and Darwin Barney and pitcher Andrew Cashner. Many of the eight have come through the system under Sandberg's tutelage while managing at Class A Peoria for two seasons and last year at Class AA Tennessee.
All of which will beg the question of how Sandberg, whom Hendry spent several days with this week, won't be a leading candidate to succeed Lou Piniella -- especially with a team that likely will include a number of the prospects Sandberg has tutored.
The answer, Hendry continues to say, is that there is no leading candidate.
That would run counter to how Hendry has filled the job the last two times. He waited for his lead choices, Dusty Baker and Piniella, even as he interviewed others for the job.
This time his preference could be Fredi Gonzalez, the former manager of the Florida Marlins who has known Hendry since his high school playing days and when both were in the Marlins organization.
Gonzalez will be sought by other teams, as well, notably the Atlanta Braves. He coached in Atlanta under the departing Bobby Cox, who's said to be backing him as his successor.
''You'll read different speculation about who the front-runner is and who's been eliminated,'' Hendry said Friday. ''Trust me, it's all basically conjecture.''
Hendry said his plan remains to evaluate a number of candidates before coming up with a finalist to present to owner Tom Ricketts.
''We all understand in this business that this job, in particular, is held in high esteem,'' Hendry said of interest in the Cubs job. ''There is no leading candidate, there hasn't been and there won't be until I take the final evaluations to Tom Ricketts and his family.''
Therein lies what will make this manager search different than the last two, when the choice essentially belonged to Hendry during Tribune Co.'s ownership.
Hendry has talked to former Cleveland Indians manager Eric Wedge, who was fired last season but is being paid through this season.
If the New York Yankees don't move quickly after the season to re-sign Joe Girardi, the ex-Cub who was a candidate four years ago will become a contender, as well.
Hendry understandably wouldn't talk about the time spent with Sandberg this week in Albuquerque, N.M., where Iowa was playing. They discussed the job in general, though Hendry characterized their meeting as ''normal dialogue'' and ''no different than if I was going to Iowa in the middle of May.''
''Ryno needs to finish his season,'' Hendry said. ''We're not in any rush to complete interview processes or things like that.''
Hendry called Sandberg's latest honor outstanding and also praised Tennessee manager Bill Dancy for being named Southern League manager of the year in his first season with the organization.
''We've had a real good year in the system,'' Hendry said, with teams at every level winning or in contention for their respective playoffs. ''It's not just from the wins and losses but the development point of view.''
The Cubs have been playing well for manager Mike Quade, whom Hendry declared a candidate when he handed him the reins for the rest of the season.
''I think the guys are playing well,'' Hendry said. ''I think they've been playing hard. Mike's done a real nice job of getting people involved and giving people chances. It's not an easy job when you take over with five weeks left.''
Report: Aramis Ramirez to remain Cub
Chicago Cubs third baseman Aramis Ramirez cleared up his intentions for the 2011 season, telling the Chicago Sun-Times that he intends to exercise his $14.6 million option next season.
''I'm staying here,'' Ramirez told the paper.
Ramirez has a player option in his deal that would allow him to get out of the final guaranteed year that will pay him $14.6 million in 2011.
He also is guaranteed another $2 million as a buyout for the 2012 season if the Cubs don't pick it up at $15 million.
Ramirez, who has battled injuries the past two seasons, isn't sure how much longer he wants to play.
"It won't be very long. I miss a lot when I'm away from my family," Ramirez said on Saturday. "I have 12 years in the league. I don't know how long I'm going to play, but it won't be very long."
Ramirez, 32, has had a number of injuries this year, the worst year of his eight-plus seasons as a Cub. He is batting .242 with 22 home runs and 73 RBIs in 109 games. He has been hobbled by a right quad strain recently, and also dealt with a sore left rib cage and pain in his left thumb.
Girardi a long shot, but Cubs seem ready to wait
Yankees manager is free agent after season, but why would he leave
MINNEAPOLIS When the Giants played Atlanta in the 2002 playoffs, what kind of odds could you have gotten that they would win a spot in the World Series and lose manager Dusty Baker to the Cubs?
Long odds. Huge odds. CC Sabathia-sized odds.
Yet Cubs general manager Jim Hendry, with an assist from Giants owner Peter Magowan, somehow pulled that off. So at least there's precedent for the managerial heist he is weighing, if not yet officially attempting.
Joe Girardi, like Cliff Lee, Victor Martinez, Adam Dunn and Paul Konerko, can be a free agent when the Yankees' latest foray into the playoffs ends possibly as soon as Saturday but more likely at some point in early November, after a second straight World Series.
There are people in Chicago who swear they know Girardi would jump to the Cubs because he and his wife, Kim, want to return home to the Midwest. But the feeling around baseball is that Hendry is wasting his time if he's holding a place for him.
As the Yankees worked out to face the Twins in their American League Division Series, I polled a dozen people who either work for the Yankees or deal with them on a regular basis.
Asked to rate the chances Girardi will change jobs after the playoffs on a 1-10 scale, with 1 being the least chance, the New York insiders gave replies ranging from a -1 to a 3.5.
"The door's open,'' one said, "but just a crack.''
None among those surveyed thinks there is even a 50-50 chance Girardi is sufficiently weary of New York and all that life there entails to pull the plug. That could change if something goes very bad against the Twins, but one person close to the Yankees' brain trust offered a take that must be the worst fear for anyone who covets Girardi in the Cubs' dugout.
"If he does go somewhere, it won't be (to Chicago),'' he said.
Huh? Where else would Girardi go?
To Pittsburgh? Toronto? Milwaukee? The Mets? I don't think so.
But what about St. Louis?
Tony La Russa left there on Monday after meeting with owner Bill DeWitt Jr. and general manager John Mozeliak, carrying the offer of a one-year contract extension with him. He's expected eventually to agree to return for a 16th season, but he knows he's walking a fine line, saying Monday that "at some point it's going to be good when the new guy comes in it's going to refresh the whole situation.''
Replacing La Russa in St. Louis might be more attractive to Girardi than coming to Chicago.
"The Cardinals would be his kind of place,'' one insider said. "No media problems, total control but don't they want La Russa back?''
We'll see. The same person raised an interesting question about the Girardi-to-Wrigley scenario.
"Who would be his godfather in Chicago?'' he asked. "He wouldn't go there unless he had protection.''
Girardi got burned when he went to work for the Marlins with no one in ownership or the front office specifically looking out for him. His timing in that regard isn't great in Chicago because the guy who would have increased his comfort level (John McDonough) left for the Blackhawks three years ago.
There was no talk about the Cubs on Tuesday, as Girardi held true to his word about putting job speculation on hold until the Yankees' ride has ended.
That's the way it was with Baker when the Giants started their quest in 2002. But by the time the World Series rolled around, the word on the street was that Baker was so frustrated with Magowan he would walk away.
This situation might work out that way, too, but that's not the way it feels.
Hendry has promised not to leave a stone unturned in his third managerial search, one that may determine his own future. And until another organization begins to show strong interest in Ryne Sandberg, Mike Quade or anyone else he is considering, what's the harm in waiting to see what happens with Girardi?
None, really. Yet Chairman Tom Ricketts and Hendry would make a strong statement by choosing between Sandberg and Quade sooner rather than later.
They know their guys. They know if they're right for the job. The longer they wait to give one of them a commitment, the more it will seem it was Girardi they wanted all along. That scenario works well for Girardi, who gains leverage in his dealing with the Yankees, but is it the best one for the Cubs?

I've written faithfully every week for almost six months, recapping the stupidity that is WWE's Monday Night RAW.
Since they've gone to their expanded three-hour format, I've found that I simply cannot stand it anymore. It takes entirely too long to watch through with the extra hour of recaps and commercials they're running, and frankly, it's getting stale.
Same feuds, same storylines, nothing's moving nobody is getting elevated. It's stagnant.
Maybe at some point in the future I might rekindle my interested and resurrect this feature. But for now, it will cease. I'm sorry to the one person who actually stops by to read it from time to time, but it's for the best.
I hope to begin a series on another shitty show called "Nightmare Next Door". Stay tuned!
