Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
190 mistakes
Directed by: Irvin Kershner
Starring: Alec Guinness, Anthony Daniels, Billy Dee Williams, Carrie Fisher, David Prowse, Frank Oz, Harrison Ford, James Earl Jones, Kenny Baker, Mark Hamill, Peter Mayhew
Genres: Action, Adventure, Fantasy, Sci-fi, Star Wars, Thriller
Continuity mistake: When Lando is talking to Han and Leia in the cell in Cloud City, Leia says, "And we're the bait." As the shot ends, her hand is on the nape of Han's neck, but in the next shot, her hand is on his back. (01:29:15)
Revealing mistake: When the Falcon leaves Hoth and is being chased by the Empire, there is a scene where the ship gets rocked about. During the 'impact', C-3PO's arm becomes dislodged, and you can clearly see human skin underneath. (00:36:20)
Revealing mistake: When Captain Needa is killed by Darth Vader because they lost track of the Millennium Falcon, in the background, two guards come to take him away. You can clearly see the dead captain get up almost by himself. (01:10:50)
Other mistake: When the Falcon gets hit by an asteroid, Leia falls and is caught by Han. She tells him that "being held by you isn't quite enough to get me excited". As she is saying this you can clearly see Harrison Ford mouthing her exact words. (00:44:05)
Continuity mistake: When one of the stormtroopers unties Han Solo before he is put into the carbonite, watch his wardrobe - he has a disappearing / reappearing jacket on. This is fixed to an extent on the DVD - the jacket is now lightened to almost match his shirt, but it's still shiny like leather. (01:32:05)
Audio problem: After Luke frees himself from the cave in the beginning, he stumbles towards the exit. You can hear his lightsabre go off, but it stays firmly on. Cut to him emerging, and now his lightsaber's off. (00:09:30)
Continuity mistake: After Luke says to Yoda, "You want the impossible," Yoda's position jumps from the ground to a rocky boulder, where he then lifts Luke's X-Wing fighter from the swamp. (01:11:30 - 01:13:05)Cubs Fan
Visible crew/equipment: This can only be seen in the widescreen version. When Han, Leia and Chewie venture out of the Falcon to investigate the cave they're hiding in on the asteroid, as they walk towards the left of the screen you can see the edge of the tarpaulin sheet they're standing on as well as the faint outline of a crew member trying to get out of the camera shot.
Continuity mistake: After Boba Fett's ship, Slave 1, takes off, there's a close-up of Leia's face. In the background, Lando can be seen standing erect, putting his hands on his waist. In the next shot, he's crouching, with his hands in front of him. (01:39:25)
Revealing mistake: During the attack on the rebel base, after the headless AT-AT falls on the ground, another one shoots at the rebels. You can see the pyrotechnic charges where the impacts are.Dr Wilson
Continuity mistake: When Han, Leia and Lando are walking down the corridor to the room with 'refreshments' (aka Darth Vader), Han and Lando keep switching sides.
Revealing mistake: When Leia and the crew return to cloud city to rescue Luke from the scaffolding, watch very closely as Lando ascends up the lift, just after the top hatch opens from the overhead angle, you will see that Lando has been replaced with a G.I. Joe look-alike figurine. (01:55:10)
Continuity mistake: When the AT-AT that Luke destroyed with a thermal detonator falls over, Luke is nowhere to be seen, even though he should be visible, judging from his position in the previous shot. (As noted in another mistake, the AT-AT is suddenly further away from him after he falls to the ground, but he is still to close to be out of shot when it falls over.). (00:31:45)
Revealing mistake: When Leia and Lando are holding off the stormtroopers while Chewbacca and the droids escape into the Millennium Falcon, a stormtrooper comes running through the doorway. You can see the burn mark on his armour before Lando shoots him. When the trooper is shot, another trooper comes running through the door, also with a burn mark on his armour. Then Leia shoots another (or perhaps the same) trooper, and the burn mark is once again there before the trooper is hit (watch in slow motion). (01:44:20)
Continuity mistake: Near the end of the film, when the Millennium Falcon is trying to get away from Vader, there's the scene in which Vader asks the admiral if he disabled the hyperdrive on the Falcon. This scene is backwards, as you can tell by the insignia on the admiral's chest. Normally it should be on the left side of the chest, but in this scene, it is on the right side of his chest.
Continuity mistake: After Luke crashes during the battle on Hoth , the AT-AT is far away from him and is moving rather slowly. A few shots later, the AT-AT stomps on his snowspeeder, but it was too far away from him in the previous shots to reach it that quickly. (00:29:55)
Revealing mistake: When Luke and Leia are watching the Millennium Falcon leave at the end of the movie, its light goes through Luke's arm. (01:56:25)
Revealing mistake: Right before Luke nicks Vader in the shoulder with his lightsabre, Vader cuts through a railing. There's a hole in the railing exactly where Vader apparently cuts it. Also, if you play it in slow motion, Vader's lightsabre never comes into contact with the railing, yet it sparks.
Revealing mistake: When Luke and Vader are fighting in Cloud City, there is something looking like tape wherever they hit something with their lightsabers. Maybe it's pyrotechnic charges?Dr Wilson
Continuity mistake: When Luke is doing a handstand and has the vision of Han and Leia, in the last close-up of him upside-down, his elbows are bent, but in the next shot, his arms are fully extended. (01:14:05)Kylantha

Creative Reuse: Wine Bottle Borders
Although they could be tossed in the recycling bin, glass wine and beverage bottles seem too pretty (and useful and sturdy) not to repurpose. After spotting this garden border made of wine bottles in ReadyMade, we searched for some more examples and quite like the effect, especially when done with bottles of complementary colors and heights. What do you think?
• 1 Featured in ReadyMade, this outdoor shower and garden border was made by Annie and Alexis Thomas using 489 wine bottles collected from friends, restaurants, and wine stores. Check out the Solar Shower article for instructions and tips.
• 2 Bottles may be laid out in all sorts of configurations. Flickr member narcolanza photographed this circular garden border in Baton Rouge.

Royals sign four more minor-league free agents & formal Royals sign elsewhere
Royals sign four more minor-league free agents
By BOB DUTTON
The Kansas City Star
Posted on Tue, Dec. 03, 2002
The Frontier League is coming to Kansas City, Kan., but the man for whom its most valuable player trophy is named is among the Royals' latest off-season signings.
Morgan Burkhart, 30, won the award three times while playing for the Richmond (Ind.) Roosters in the late 1990s. He is a switch-hitting first baseman/designated hitter who also led Central Missouri State to the NCAA Division II national title in 1994.
Burkhart, who played last year in Japan, was one of four minor-league free agents signed Monday by the Royals.
The others were San Diego infielder Julius Matos, Milwaukee left-hander Jimmy Osting and a former Royal, infielder Mendy Lopez, who played last season in the Pittsburgh organization.
Matos, 27, is the most-likely candidate among the four to make the major-league roster. He batted .238 last season in 76 games for the Padres after hitting .312 in 50 games at Class AAA Portland.
Matos could emerge as the team's starting second baseman or serve as a backup for both middle-infield positions. He played primarily shortstop in the minors but split time at second and third once he joined the Padres.
Lopez, 29, projects as a full-time backup if he makes the team. He batted .252 last season as a shortstop in 101 games at Class AAA Nashville before going hitless in three at-bats for the Pirates.
Lopez played in the Royals' organization during 1992-99 and batted .257 in 81 games for the major-league club in 1998-99. He has experience at second and third in addition to shortstop.
Osting, 25, was 0-2 last season in three starts for the Brewers after going 5-7 with a 3.48 ERA in 22 starts for Class AAA Indianapolis.
All four players will join third baseman Jarrod Patterson and right-hander Jason Turman as non-roster invitees to spring camp. Patterson and Turman signed last week.
Burkhart became the first position player from the Frontier League to reach the majors in 2000 when he batted .288 with four homers and 18 RBIs in 25 games for Boston.
He spent most of 2001 at Class AAA Pawtucket before getting released. A shoulder injury limited him to 42 games last season with Japan's Fukuoka Daiei Hawks.
Burkhart batted .394 with 70 RBIs in 60 games in leading Central Missouri to its 1994 title. He was also 7-1 as a pitcher.
Signing elsewhere
Several former Royals have signed recently with other teams: first baseman Dave McCarty with Oakland; first baseman Chan Perry with Pittsburgh; outfielder Donzell McDonald with Atlanta; and infielder Jed Hansen with Milwaukee.

Royals sign three minor-league free agents
By BOB DUTTON
The Kansas City Star
Posted on Sat, Nov. 30, 2002
The Royals have jumped into the spirit of the holiday shopping season by signing three minor-league free agents.
Third baseman Jarrod Patterson, 29, spent the last two years in the Detroit organization. He batted .295 last season at Class AAA Toledo, Ohio, with 34 doubles, six triples, 13 homers and 70 RBIs in 117 games.
Right-hander Jason Turman, 27, is a former Seattle prospect who pitched last season in Japan. He was 7-5 with a 2.26 ERA in 2001 at Class AAA Tacoma, Wash.
Right-hander Andres de la Cruz, 22, is a former Yankees prospect who hasn't pitched since 2000 because of arm trouble. He has never pitched above Class A.
Patterson could turn into a significant acquisition because he might be the starting third baseman if the Royals trade Joe Randa.
A left-handed hitter, Patterson batted .268 in 13 games with the Tigers in 2001 after compiling a combined .322 average at Toledo and Class AA Erie, Pa. He did not get a late-season call-up in 2002.
Turman is a 6-foot-10 candidate for a middle-relief job. He struck out 85 and walked 26 in 76 innings in 2001 at Tacoma but opted to play last season in Japan after being released by the Mariners.
He spent most of last summer pitching for the Shonan Searex, a minor-league team, before going 0-2 with a 6.16 ERA in nine games for the Yokohama Bay Stars.
The Royals signed de la Cruz after clocking his fastball in the mid-90s in the Dominican Republic. He was topping out in the high 80s when released by the Yankees. He is likely to open the season in the minors.
Randa's salary rises if traded
Any team looking to acquire Randa must be prepared to shell out $5.5 million next season because his contract contains a clause that increases his salary by $1 million if he gets traded.
If Randa stays with the Royals, he gets $4.5 million in concluding a two-year extension signed before the 2001 season.
Randa's name surfaced recently among Yankees officials, who aren't interested in retaining free agent Robin Ventura at his 2002 salary of $8.5 million.
The Yankees want Ventura, 35, to accept a cut to about $5 million. If he balks, they are likely to seek a replacement. Randa and Mets third baseman Edgardo Alfonzo are believed to be their top preferences.
Unwelcome news
The Royals weren't helped in their quest to hold on to free-agent right-hander Paul Byrd when St. Louis signed pitcher Woody Williams to a two-year contract for $14.9 million.
"That's a marker (on the market)," said Muzzy Jackson, the Royals' assistant general manager for player personnel. "It's something we'll have to deal with."
The Royals are still awaiting word from Byrd and his agent, Bo McKinnis, on their multiyear contract offer -- believed to be valued at less than $4 million a season.
Greinke zeroing in
Right-hander Zack Greinke lowered his ERA to 2.33 by working five scoreless innings in his latest outing for Mayaguez in the Puerto Rican winter league.
Greinke, 19, was the Royals' first-round pick in last June's amateur draft. He has 10 strikeouts and two walks in 191/3 innings and has limited opponents to a .191 batting average. At this point, he is likely to open next season at Class A Wilmington, Del.
Rockies sign Pellow
First baseman Kit Pellow, 29, is heading to the Colorado Rockies after seven often-frustrating seasons in the Royals' organization.
Pellow led Class AAA Omaha in RBIs in each of the last four years but never got a summons to the majors until last August. He was released in October after batting .238 with one homer and five RBIs in 29 games.
Perhaps the thin air at Coors Field can help Pellow duplicate his minor-league hitting prowess; he averaged 25 homers and 81 RBIs per season after joining the Royals as their 22nd-round pick in the 1996 draft. He also has a .276 career average in 803 minor-league games.
At least three other former Royals have signed with other clubs: right-handed starter Chris Fussell, 26, with Atlanta; and infielder Donnie Sadler, 27, and left-handed reliever Brian Shouse, 34, with Texas.

Well Gentlemen,or ladies, lets be BRUTALLY honset. We are Never going to be worth a piss in the bucket with current ownership. He has proven that already. "Youth movement" my ass. Nobody wants to go watch a buch of just out of college kids play. SPEND some money. Get some PLAYERS, not these pretend to bes we have now. You have to spend money, to make money. I remember going to games in the 80s and EARLY 90s and the place was packed EVERY game. It could be that way again. Nobody wants to watch a loser 80 times a year at home. Hell we can hear that on the radio for free. One solution is to quit trading all the good layers off. Look at all the talent the Royals have supplied the league, its crazy. A few years back we were named minor league team(or something like that) of the year. Where are thoes guys now? Youth Movement huh? So I guess I can buy my Playoff tickets in ...lets say the year...2028?

Backsplash Idea for Rental Kitchens: Removable Fabric
When you're renting and you want to jazz up your kitchen, the options are often pretty limited. No paint, no appliance switcheroo, no new materials like tile, countertops, flooring. That's why we jumped at this nifty temporary backsplash idea:
Over at Remodelaholic, there's a tutorial on putting up a DIY fabric backsplash with starch. When it's time to move (or when you tire of it or it becomes worn or damaged), you simply remove it by saturating the fabric with water and - voila - the landlord-white walls are good as new.
While fabric doesn't quite seem the answer for a forever kitchen, it might be just what's needed to spice up the kitchen for now. See the full tutorial here.

Belgravia is one of London's most prestigious neighbourhoods and an ideal location to have as your base on a trip to London. It's clean, there are beautiful parks nearby and plenty of dog-care services, so if you're planning on visiting B+B Belgravia with your dog, you couldn't have chosen a better location.
Nearby Parks
Our B&B is conveniently located near some of London's most beautiful parks.
Buckingham Palace Gardens (around 8 minutes walk from B+B Belgravia)
Buckingham Palace Gardens are generally not open to the public, except in August and September when a section of the gardens are open. Dogs, unless for the visually-impaired, are not allowed in the Palace Gardens.
Hyde Park (around 15 minutes walk from B+B Belgravia)
Dogs are welcome in Hyde Park, although there are some parts of the park where dogs are not allowed. These will be clearly sign posted.
St James' Park (around 14 minutes walk from B+B Belgravia)
Like Hyde Park, dogs are allowed into St James' Park as both Hyde Park and St James' Park are part of the Royal Parks group of green spaces. Dogs are not allowed in the Memorial Gardens, located in front of Buckingham Palace or in the areas which are fenced off near the lake.
The Royal Parks website gives information on taking dogs into any of the parks, including Hyde Park. Please be aware that there is a large amount of wildlife, as well as other dogs and people in the park and your dog will need to keep your dog under control.
Dog Litter Rules
Anywhere you go walking your dog in London, whether in a park or on the streets, you will need to "pick up" after your dog does his or her business. As part of the Keep Britain Tidy campaign, fines of up to £1,000 are in place to ensure this happens.
Going Out Alone
If you are going somewhere in London that isn't dog-friendly and don't want to leave him or her in the B&B for too long, there are plenty of dog-friendly services available nearby from pet sitters to dog walkers who can take care of your dog while you're away. Alternatively Waggin' Tails, a pet boutique and spa offer a Doggy Day Care service in their store which is located between Chelsea and Fulham.
B+B Belgravia Rules Concerning Pets
B+B Belgravia welcomes pets. You can get more information about our "house rules" from our pet policy form.24th April 2013

In decades ahead, Kirby Smart will be the answer to the trivia question: Who was the first coordinator to earn a million dollars a year at the University of Alabama?
TUSCALOOSA | In decades ahead, Kirby Smart will be the answer to the trivia question: Who was the first coordinator to earn a million dollars a year at the University of Alabama?
The UA board of trustees compensation committee approved new initial contracts, extensions and amendments for the football coaching staff Tuesday, highlighted by a watershed raise for the Crimson Tide's defensive coordinator to $1.15 million. In 2014 and 2015, Smart will earn $1.35 million.
UA coach Nick Saban's contract was amended to include a bonus structure for the new BCS playoff system. The four-team playoff, set to launch with the 2014 season, will feature two semifinal games, with the winners playing for the BCS title.
Saban will receive $200,000 for making a semifinal game, $300,000 for winning a semifinal and $400,000 for winning the national championship.
New athletic director Bill Battle had his initial contract approved at $620,000 per year on a four-year agreement.
Other contracts for the football staff were as follows: Offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier received a raise from $590,000 to $680,000, with his contract extended through 2015. New offensive line coach Mario Cristobal's initial salary was approved at $475,000. Linebackers coach Lance Thompson received a raise from $375,000 to $400,000, while special teams coach Bobby Williams' pay was increased from $350,000 to $400,000. New defensive backs coach Greg Brown will earn $300,000 per year on a two-year contract, while new wide receivers coach Billy Napier will earn $300,000 in the first of two years, with a built-in raise to $325,000 in the second year.
Alabama agreed to pay a $75,000 buyout of Napier's contract to his former employer, Florida State.
Defensive line coach Chris Rumph's salary was increased from $310,000 to $360,000, while seventh-year running backs coach Burton Burns received a raise from $290,000 to $315,000.
Strength coach Scott Cochran will earn $350,000, a raise of $25,000. New director of player personnel Kevin Steele received an initial contract of two years at $200,000 per year.

New Car Review
2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport 2.0T
Hyundai's new Santa Fe Sport offers two engine choices: a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder or a more powerful 2.0-liter turbocharged. Our long-term 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport 2.0T clearly has the more powerful engine (the 2.0T in the SUV's name indicates the turbo engine). We're glad we opted for this one.
With the turbocharged engine, our Santa Fe Sport has more than enough power -- 264 horsepower to be exact, and that's strong for an SUV in this category. With this engine, the Sport is both quick and quiet -- one of our favorite combinations. Regardless of which options you choose, get the 2.0T version of the Santa Fe Sport; it's fun and fuel efficient.
This more powerful engine, combined with the 6-speed automatic transmission, also makes the Santa Fe Sport feel like a pricier V6-powered SUV. The vehicle feels heavy, as well. With the turbo engine, there's more than enough power, but from the driver's seat even the smaller Sport model feels substantial. That's reassuring, though others may disagree.
We've only had the Santa Fe for a short time, but we're already getting a glimpse at our 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport 2.0T's real-world miles per gallon. In theory, the benefit of a turbocharged engine is that you get plenty of power with the fuel economy of a smaller engine. The Environmental Protection Agency's estimates for the Santa Fe Sport 2.0T are 19 mpg city/24 mpg hwy. We're getting 18.5 mpg with a mix of about 90 percent city driving and 10 percent highway.

Don't be afraid of grabbing some attention in this color, you're already a hot mama in a bikini! The Sugar Rush is the ultimate summer bikini so many girls are lusting after, and this style and color won't last!
Black is never out of style and is a sexy color in itself. Every gal knows that it helps to make you appear slimmer and it goes with everything. We love black paired with gold, it just looks so luxe and enticing! The Gold Digger monokini is an undeniably sexy suit, with its cut that shows off plenty skin but still covers more than a bikini, and its extravagant gold hardware. Bombshells Shay Mitchell and Rita Ora look sultry and daring in their outfits featuring black and gold. Make an ultra-sexy statement in any of these swimsuits and leave a (hot) lasting impression this summer!

So I was searching around the internet and I came across a blog about pokemon and animal abuse. To sum up everything: it is animal cruelty because it forces animals to fight and it's a bad influence on children. Obviously this is non-sense but it got more ridiculous when I read that it was originally PETA that 'waged war' on Pokemon for virtual animal cruelty
get em teddy ◟ʕ╬ᴥ╬ ◟ʔ
They have a point. Even though they are fictional creatures, some of them represent an actual bird, e.g. Pidgey, therefore it does condone animal violence.
The way I hold you and the night just seems to fly
I remember this, aswell as that time when the new Mario came out on DS, and they said it promoted animal skinning because of the Tanooki suit.
In both the anime and the games of pokemon though, they repeatedly show how the pokemon love fighting for their trainers, and it increases bonds blah blah blah. So it's all good there, but I suppose Team Rocket and all that basically do engage in animal cruelty lolololo. But then again, it does also repeatedly point out that they're wrong in doing that, and it makes them appear evil, so...it's possibly contributing to making animal abuse seem worse. So it really IS all good.
Fuck you PETA.
*****Completely inactive, no other accounts*****
The next thing ya know they will go after Digimon
So much hate. If PETA ever had a purpose, it's been long-forgotten. Kinda like church.
FA LA LA LA LA LA, LA LA *runs away*
What nonsensory is this? I played Pokemon and watched it when I was little and it never once occurred to me it looked an animal except Pidgey, and the Pokemon don't actually die or get harmed except for the manga where Team Rocket cuts off Slowpoke's TAILS O.o and one guy in the game sold them for a short time, until the MC defeats them and the guy goes.
But seriously? Stop taking thinking things seriously. Children are smarter than they are when it comes to judging things.
Watch Cruel City! An amazing drama! :)

Next you'll tell us that Super Mario Bros. is a model for treating turtles poorly.
Squirrel3D, "The Independent Human"!
how come they never went after tom and jerry i mean that be animal on animal abuse right there man
Oh, PETA. It's like you don't want people to take you seriously.
Read Umineko
This is really old news, I figured everyone just accepted PETA's stupidity and moved on by now.
It's cute, fictional, pixelized critters in cute, fictional, barely even violent battles; I really doubt anyone honestly sees this as condoning animal abuse.
if you can't see the difference between fiction and nonfiction your opinion doesn't matter.

Well this subject is about little kids being affected, not young adults. I can understand that some kids could pick up some bad habits from that(on a tiny scale), but this is the parent`s responsibility. If they teach the kids that its simply fiction and not reality then it should not be a problem.
If I don't have to do it, I won't. If I have to do it, I'll make it quick.
PETA are a shit company, don't listen to them... I know they mean well with what they are trying to achieve, but they can't do that when they have already done so many stupid things, don't support them...
what is this cr stuff
I played pokemon Red, Blue, yellow, ruby, sapphire and emerald, and animal abuse is something that disgust me, like completely revolting.
if people abuse animals it's not because of pokemon, it's because they are fucked up mentally. there is no correlation between battling 2d pocket monsters and abusing an animal, IMO
I'm hungry.

Williams sisters to face off in Charleston semis
Charleston, SC – Venus and Serena Williams each won a pair of matches Friday and will face each other in the semifinals at the Family Circle Cup tennis event.
In a rematch of last year's final, the top-seeded Serena upended sixth-seeded Czech Lucie Safarova, 6-4, 6-1. Serena, who beat Safarova in last year's finale, also titled here in 2008 and was the 2003 Family Circle runner-up.
The fifth-seeded former world No. 1 Venus topped fellow American Madison Keys 6-4, 6-4 in her quarterfinal outing on Day 5. Venus was forced to play a pair of matches on Friday after rain postponed her third-round bout on Thursday.
Venus was the Charleston champ back in 2004.
The results set up the 24th meeting between the Williams sisters with Serena holding a 13-10 all-time lead heading into Saturday's clash. They haven't met since the 2009 WTA Tour Championships in Doha, and Serena has won the last four matchups.
Also Friday, second seed Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark was upset by Switzerland's Stefanie Voegele in the quarterfinals, 3-6, 6-4, 6-3.
The former world No. 1 Wozniacki was a runner-up at Indian Wells a few weeks ago, titled on the green clay here at Daniel Island Tennis Center in 2011 and was the Charleston runner-up in 2009.
Another quarterfinal saw ninth-seeded former No. 1 Jelena Jankovic paste Canada's Eugenie Bouchard 6-2, 6-1. Jankovic captured this Family Circle event back in 2007.
Before the quarterfinals were staged on Friday, four third-round matches had to be played. In those outings, Serena whipped fellow American Mallory Burdette 6-4, 6-2; Venus snuck past 12th-seeded compatriot Varvara Lepchenko 6-2, 4-6, 6-2; Safarova subdued 11th-seeded Romanian Sorana Cirstea 6-3, 5-7, 6-1; and Keys cut down fellow countrywoman Bethanie Mattek-Sands 7-6 (7-4), 6-4.
The winner of this $795,000 tournament will earn $125,000.

Well, you don't seem to give much importance to the process through which people may come to discover the Buddha's teaching, which is a very important point when it comes to teaching in western countries. Yet, you criticize the choices made by those who attempt to deal with this problem and regard them a "not good enough". This is how burmese Theravada, imo, is for a large part crippled by elitism and superiority complexes. But some people are more primarily driven by loving-kindness and take people as they are to make them achieve what is at their reach.mettafuture wrote:I don't proselytize.The minimal goal maybe to introduce someone to the teaching of the Buddha. That alone is a big achievement.
Besides, it has little to do with proselytism, because in the general case, people come to courses and retreats, not the contrary.
You repeat the same arguments, so I have to repeat the same counter-arguments: do you think that teaching anapanassati is not being authentic? Also, someone may be very interested in the teachings of the Buddha and yet not feel interested in the widely corrupt, dogmatized and ritualized religion that Buddhism is. This is my case, and I know there are a great many like me out there.mettafuture wrote: But if someone shows an interest in Buddhism, I believe it's important that they get an authentic, gradual, and complete overview of the teachings.
For the rest, I agree that people who want to dig deeper should get a complete overview of the Buddha's teaching, but that comes over time, as and when they get ready for it (unless of course they look it up themselves, which is also the case of many). But that excludes buddhist teachings that aren't the Buddha's teaching, like the abhidhamma, or the visuddhimagga.

Anatomy of a Law Practice Audit
Anatomy of a Law Practice Audit
Few visitors to a law office are less welcome than law practice auditors. They are generally there because a lawyer is in trouble with the state bar, and they will dig deep into electronic and paper records to get to the bottom of the complaint. Alas, the root cause is frequently poor (or nonexistent) business and practice management procedures.
There's a rather shocking dearth of literature on law practice audits, which is unfortunate because these audits are a very serious and highly detailed process for the lawyers who undergo them. We know because we serve as law practice auditors in the state of Virginia.
Usually, the process commences because the lawyer has entered into an Agreed Disposition with Terms (there are, of course, different names for the agreement in different states) and may have received a private or public reprimand from the bar, or even had his or her law license suspended. The terms of the agreement command the lawyer to engage the services of a law practice auditor, pay for those services, open all of the firm's computer and paper records to the auditor, and comply with all of the auditor's recommendations. Generally, the auditor will make a follow-up visit to ensure compliance afterward.
While hopefully you will never have to face the specter of an official practice audit in your own law firm, knowing how these audits generally work should serve as a cautionary tale for all lawyers. So here, to fill the void in existing information, is an anatomy of the process. A caveat: The exact nature of auditing practices varies widely from state to state, so be mindful that the following, while illustrative of the process, is Virginia-centric.
Ins and Outs of the Interview Phase
Once the contract has been signed and a retainer provided, the auditor sets up a meeting with the lawyer. The first step at the meeting is to sit down and interview the lawyer about various things surrounding the complaint (or complaints) at issue. The conversation might, though, open with things that set the lawyer at ease. For instance, the auditor may gather information about staff, law school, number of years at the firm's current address and other noncontroversial inquiries. This gives a behavioral baseline against which to compare when more sensitive questions are asked.
And the reason for that baseline? Most often, the auditor will look for telltale signs of deceit during the rest of the interview, much as a detective would. There are those, for example, who cannot meet your eyes, look skyward for inspiration, blink rapidly, change stories in midstream, contradict themselves, stammer, have rapid changes in voice tone or pitch, excessively clear their throat, grow wide-eyed, pale or red, use a defensive tone or become sarcastic. If particular questions elicit this sort of behavior, it helps to identify something the auditor may want to follow up on.
For instance, if a lawyer exhibits such signs when asked if clients other than those who made a bar complaint have also complained about a failure to return phone calls, auditors will know they need to check the phone-message records in the files. If asked whether clients are apprised of the lawyer's transfer of trust account funds to the operating account and an evasive answer ensures, then it's time to zero in on a comparison between those transfers and the monthly invoices.
So, after the basic initial inquiries, the auditor will then ask the lawyer to explain what happened in the complaint(s) at issue in the agreed disposition. This is where it gets interesting. The lawyer has already been found guilty of committing an ethics violation. And in some cases, he or she has also been found guilty of not cooperating with the disciplinary process by failing to provide the requested documents—or even failing to show up for disciplinary hearings. Yet many will still make a tortured attempt to explain, to lessen the degree of fault, to blame other circumstances in their lives or the like. No two cases are ever the same, but the answers to the "what happened" question tend to give quick insight into an attorney's character.
Follow-up questions about other similar (or different) complaints from clients will also be part of the process. And, depending on the ethics rules in the state, the auditor will ask about the following:
- How fees are handled
- How often the trust account is reconciled
- Whether engagement letters are used
- Whether e-mail communications are used with clients
- Whether e-mail communications are addressed in engagement letters
- Whether closing letters are used
- How time is kept
- How billing is accomplished
- What tickler systems are in use
- What law office functions are done by software programs
- How the return of phone calls and answers to letters and e-mails are monitored
- Whether the lawyer receives or pays any referral fees, and the like
Usually, auditors also find it is instructive to interview the lawyer's assistant, which tends to go one of two ways: The assistant is clearly protective of the lawyer and hesitant to divulge anything, or is cognizant that the auditor is there on behalf of the bar and will tell all, whether or not it is to the lawyer's detriment. Even if the -assistant seeks to protect the lawyer, the auditor will usually hear a tale that is somewhat different from the tale the lawyer told, which again points to avenues of possible investigation.
How the Office's Files Tell Their Own Story
A critical part of a law practice audit is investigating the office's computers, including everything from timekeeping and billing records to document management processes—and -beyond. Auditors will specifically look for information involving the cases that gave rise to the complaints as well as other client matters that the lawyer may have mentioned during the interview. But also amazingly critical are the paper files, which still rule in many solo and small firms.
One of the first things that gets checked is the lawyer's timekeeping mechanism. Signs of trouble here can include repeated entries that seem meaningless, such as "researched case," "reviewed documents" or the like. And frequently, time entries raise suspicion because they are all in one-hour or half-hour segments.
When questioned, many lawyers will say that they made a "best guess" as to time—often because it wasn't recorded contemporaneously. Quite often, unfortunately, the entries are so vague that the client cannot reasonably be expected to understand what the charges were for.
Looking through files in a troubled practice usually reveals the associated signs of client discontent. There may be angry or threatening phone messages from clients, which a legal assistant dutifully recorded on pink slips. There may be letters of complaint or threatening legal action, documenting what the writer believes was done wrong in the case. Most frequently, the complaints involve a failure to return phone calls or answer letters, excessive fees that the client wasn't expecting, missed filing dates, the failure to show up in court, and even showing up in court with incorrect paperwork.
There are clearly multiple lessons to be learned here, including this one: While engagement letters may not be required under the rules, they are certainly desirable as a way of clarifying the scope of work and financial arrangements with clients. When they do not exist in an office, auditors always recommend their use. Likewise, the use of closing letters is always a best practice in ensuring that clients have a final understanding that their case has been closed—and a final financial reconciliation is as well.
What Lurks Beneath
In many cases, just looking around the office can give clues as to why the lawyer's practice is in trouble. Although you would think lawyers in trouble with the bar would tidy up before a law practice audit, not all of them do. As an example, in one notable case, the office had built-in bookcases literally covered with papers and books stacked every which way in great disarray. The attorney's desk and drawers were a mess. Things were simply crammed haphazardly everywhere. The filing cabinet behind his desk held unpaid bills stacked so high that some of them had fallen to the floor. And upon closer inspection, a good many of the bills had not been opened—no good news to be gleaned from them, apparently. Of those that were opened, they were all overdue and some were threatening collection action.
Very often, it is clear that the lawyer's business and personal life are completely intertwined in credit card charges for home furnishings, vacations and other clearly non-business expenses. Moreover, a look at the business tax return and the personal tax return will often make it clear that personal expenses were charged against the business and never adjusted to show up as income on the personal tax return.
In too many cases, the sad fact is that the lawyers being audited are unable to get themselves organized, to establish the proper tickler systems, to enter time promptly, or even to get bills out in anything resembling a reasonable time frame. In one stunning case, the lawyer sent out no bills at all, so his clients had no way of knowing what they were being charged or when monies were being transferred from the trust account to the operating account.
In fact, many of these lawyers seem not to know that they are financially drowning because they don't keep the proper records and are unable to determine whether their business is profitable or not. The resulting financial pressures often make it more tempting to cut corners or to commit overtly unethical acts, such as putting unearned monies directly in the operational account rather than the trust account, sometimes in the belief that if they have a document saying that a flat fee was earned upon receipt, they will be okay. Obviously not so—as almost all state rules make very clear.
Others simply put monies in the operational account because they are seemingly oblivious to ethics rules, or perhaps so desperate to make payroll and pay bills that they feel they have no choice and simply hope that their acts would go undiscovered.
Some honestly do not know how to reconcile the accounts and must be taught. Others seem to regard it as a chore and thus avoid it. A lot of audit time is spent explaining the clear meaning of the ethics rules and how to comply with them.
Raiding trust accounts, unfortunately, is not uncommon. It is imperative in doing a law practice audit to review all trust accounts. Generally, where an account is being raided, auditors will see large withdrawals over a fairly short period of time, and a look at the invoices (if they exist) will not seem to justify the withdrawals. In many instances, the invoices will not indicate the withdrawals, so the client is completely unaware that funds have been disbursed. Plus, in some cases, long after a case has closed, the client has monies left in the account, but the lawyer stops sending out notices of the credit balance and simply coverts the funds to his or her own usage.
A great deal of evidence in these cases is on the computer—increasingly so as time goes on—and in most cases, the computer bears witness to the chaotic problems in the office. The technology environment is not secure, the virus and malware protection has probably lapsed, there may be no anti-phishing or spyware protection, or perhaps every piece of technology in the office has been left on default settings, well known to those who wish to steal identities or data.
Commonly, too, computer backups are haphazardly made, if at all. Moreover, it is not uncommon to find clients' credit card data unencrypted on the computers—or, worse yet, on paper notes stuck in files where any prying eyes can see them. And in some cases, lawyers are using software so old that it is effectively obsolete and will not allow them to perform their work competently. At this point, you have a pretty clear picture of the situation.
The Upside Comes in Rectifying the Situation
It is not wise to generalize too much, since each case is different. Auditors must get a sense of the lawyer as a person and note what questions evoke a reaction and check records relating to those questions. What they find in electronic records may lead them to paper records, or vice versa, and frequently some ethics violations not contemplated in the original complaint appear as the audit continues.
The approximate on-site time for a typical law practice audit is four to six hours for the first visit and two to four hours for the follow-up audit. Occasionally a third audit is required. The bulk of the auditor's work involves studying the electronic and paper records involved in the case, which are brought back to the auditor's office for study, and then compiling a detailed report of the results. It is not uncommon for the reports to be 15 to 20 pages and to contain dozens of recommendations for how the lawyer should rectify the problems in the practice.
The upside of the story, however, is that most of the lawyers involved in these cases are "salvageable." Their poor business practices meant they spent a lot of time scurrying to cover up errors or had to refund monies. Also, despite their unethical conduct, many were cheating themselves because they charged flat fees and had no idea how many hours they had to work to earn that flat fee. Post-audit, by following the recommended steps, most lawyers report that they are now making money and that their practices are ethically "clean as a whistle." This is, of course, the desired result.
On the other side of the coin, there are some lawyers who simply need to be in another business because they cannot be trusted to meet the high ethical standards required in the legal profession. Even there, law practice audits are invaluable because they ferret out these lawyers, amassing a body of evidence of their misdeeds upon which bar counsel can then act.
Ultimately, for every law office, a regular self-audit is a good thing. Shutting one's eyes to the problems that may exist does not resolve them. And remember, the state bars are there to assist lawyers who find themselves in trouble—the bar doesn't cavalierly suspend or revoke law licenses. The audit process is lengthy and serious, but every effort is made to allow the lawyer to come into ethical compliance while at the same time protecting the public. It's a delicate balance, and while it can always be improved, it works pretty doggone well.

'Twilight' Countdown: Will the sequels get made?
4 days left...
As many of you read on Friday, my former colleague and pal Steven Zeitchik at the Hollywood Reporter wrote a story about Summit Entertainment ramping up development on the next two films in the "Twilight" franchise:
The company has acquired rights to the next three novels in Stephenie Meyer's blockbuster vampire series and has hired "Twilight" scribe Melissa Rosenberg to pen scripts based on "New Moon" and "Eclipse," the second and third books, respectively.
Rosenberg has said that she would adapt anything Meyer writes and sources tell the Countdown that, in fact, she is already at work condensing "New Moon" into a feature-length script.
The movie's director Catherine Hardwicke told Entertainment weekly that "Twilight" would have to gross $150 million for the studio to give a sequel the go. ''This has to be a crazy hit,'' she said. ''Nobody can say that it can do that well right now.''
To put that in some perspective, the most recent "Harry Potter" film ("Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix") grossed more than $292 million in the United States alone. And the lowest-grossing of the franchise ("Harry Potter and the Prizoner of Azkaban") made almost $250 million in the U.S.
But the Potter movies are also considered family films, which appeal to a larger broader audience. A better comparison might be the female-skewing "Sex and the City," which in spite of its R rating made more than $152 million domestically.
It's not clear whether or not Hardwicke meant $150 million total (in the U.S. and abroad), but do you think "Twilight" can hit that mark? Is it a slam dunk? Are you planning to see the movie more than once to make sure "New Moon" will be brought to life?
Vote in our poll and leave your thoughts in the comments section below.
Come back tomorrow to read my exclusive interview with Stephenie Meyer, who talked about missing face time with her fans, debating Edward with star Robert Pattinson, and which scene from the "Twilight" book she asked to have added to the movie.
***A note to fans in the Los Angeles Area: Today (Sunday, Nov. 16) Twilight Live and Twilight Series Theories will be hosting a live podcast from inside the Westwood Borders (1360 Westwood Blvd., Los Angeles, CA). Wristbands ensuring access will be handed out when the store opens at 10 a.m. so get there early. Actors Peter Facinelli (Carlisle), Jackson Rathbone (Jasper) and Michael Welch (Mike) will be on hand. The event itself begins at 1:30 p.m. with a concert by the Twilight Music Girls.

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) Golf is proposing to ban the putting stroke used by three of the last five major champions.
The sport's ruling bodies announced a new rule Wednesday that would make it illegal to anchor the club in making a stroke. The proposed rule is aimed at belly putters and long putters that are pressed against the body. Keegan Bradley was the first player to win a major with the belly putter at the 2011 PGA Championship. Webb Simpson and Ernie Els used belly putters to win majors this year.
Officials say the golf stroke should be a free swing, and anchoring a club eliminates part of the skill.
The rule would apply to golfers at every level. It would not take effect until 2016.

With today's market conditions, it's more important than ever to market your home at a price that will attract buyers.
Consider the following 6-step method to a quicker sale at the right price.
- Hire a REALTOR® who carries out a direct sales comparison approach to market value after a thorough inspection of your home, not a quick walk-through and a stab at market price.
Experience has shown that the quick approach can cause one of two problems:
--A lower price that will give some of your money away, or
--A more likely higher than market price that will scare buyers and their agents away.
- The look and feel of your home creates a greater emotional response than any other factor.
Prepare your home for the market before you list to give it maximum curb appeal and make it more attractive to potential buyers.
- Consider ordering a prelisting home inspection. Then correct any defects or deferred maintenance noted in your report. The buyer has the option of ordering his own inspection, and you can avoid a possible renegotiation of the price or the potential of the buyer walking away.
- Once listed, have the company's other salespeople inspect your home and give their collective opinions of value. This is a great way to obtain other opinions from experienced REALTORS® and to see whether your list price is in line with the opinions of other industry professionals. These people work with buyers everyday and have a good idea of market value. They will also be totally honest since they are not competing for the listing. If their price differs, consider changing it. It's a great way to obtain more than one opinion.
- Welcome feedback from buyers and buyer representatives. Then be prepared to adjust your price to reflect what the market is saying if you want to sell.
- Promote maximum showings by making your home easy for salespeople to show and it competes for the attention of buyer agents.
We learned that successful marketing and results are dependent on good property and market research, a professional pricing analysis, proper home preparation, accessibility for showings and complete cooperation with other agents.
Century 21 REALTORS® are trained to help you with each step of the process and to negotiate for you with the goal of achieving your best market price.

How old is the wiring in your home?
Easy upgrades can boost electrical safety in older homesBy Kelly Trapnell
Nothing quite has the charm of an older home on a family farm or a cute cottage in a historical downtown district. But cosmetic and structural upgrades often come with older abodes.
When upgrading, a fresh coat of paint and updated fixtures may come to mind, but it's important to consider electrical safety upgrades. Do you know the hidden dangers of aged wiring in your home? What about hiring a professional to update the wiring behind a switch plate or outlet, just like you'd hire a painter or renovation contractor?
Don't take on wiring problems yourself — electrical upgrades often require a professional who knows what inspections and permits are needed.
Here are some signs and considerations in finding out if your home's electric network needs a professional switch.
Type of wiring
Modern wiring is insulated, meaning it is covered in plastic. Older homes may have copper or aluminum wiring. Copper wiring can work just as well as modern wiring if it is still in good condition and has not been altered or improperly installed. However, fire risk increases in homes with both copper and aluminum wiring. Corrosion to aluminum from copper can lead to loose connections causing fires. Use only aluminum-approved switches, outlets, and other accessories if your home has aluminum wiring.
Plugs fall out of outlets easily.
Loose plugs are a high fire danger. Older outlets that have lost their grip need to be replaced. Luckily, this upgrade is affordable.
Not enough outlets
The increasing use of chargers for cell phones and many other electronic devices means outlets are in high demand. A lack of outlets can result in overuse of extension cords and power strips. Be sure to use quality, 14-gauge or thicker cords that are approved by Underwriters Laboratories (UL). Never overload an outlet, which can cause heat and is a fire risk. Consider hiring a licensed electrician to add outlets.
Danger in wet areas
Today, GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) outlets are required in areas around water, such as outdoors or near a kitchen or bathroom sink. But in older homes, GFCIs may not have been installed. It is fairly simple to replace old receptacles with GFCIs; hire a professional to upgrade outlets near water.
Wind causes lights to blink
If you notice your lights blinking on windy days, it may be due to worn wiring in the weatherhead (where overhead lines enter your home). Contact your electric co-op to check weatherhead wiring. c

For centuries, humans have valued precious metals and gemstones, both for their aesthetic value and real world utility. They're also coveted because of their relative scarcity on Earth. Despite the rarity of these elements on our planet, there are places in the known universe where these stones and jewels are considerably more abundant.
Many have speculated that humans could eventually tap the resources of space, from rare earth elements on the moon,to exploiting near-earth asteroids and cometsthat could reduce the cost and time involved for future missions to deep space. However, the current technologies prohibit the retrieval of these extraterrestrial resources, which have often only been observed through deep space telescopes and spectroscopy techniques.
This week, Asteroid 2005 YU55 will pass between the Earth and the Moon, and although experts say there is no chance the asteroid will hit our planet, it is also an unlikely candidate for mining resources. According to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory,2005 YU55 is classified as a C-type asteroid, which generally are composed of primitive materials such as hydrogen and helium, and are unlikely candidates for more complex elements such as precious metals.
Although human understanding of the Universe is limited on a level detailed enough to identify exact compositions of heavenly bodies, some studies have revealed promising results, pointing to vast riches of other worlds.
So, where are some of the richest known places in the Universe? Click ahead to find out.

Kicking Out Clutter
Ways to eliminate exhibit overload
Based on an interview with MC² Senior Designer Ethan Hostetler
"We've all been faced with 10 stakeholders who each want 25 percent of the booth for their products," says MC2 Senior Designer Ethan Hostetler. And that can lead to massive amounts of clutter. "It's important to find ways to work together toward the common goal — THE BRAND."
What can you do if multiple people are clamoring for exhibit space? Basically, you have two options: Limit the number of products you'll display, or find a way to squeeze all the products into your exhibit without blurring your message. But before you decide which option to exercise, you have some prep work to do.
Get your ducks in a row before you take your first shot
Before you try to sell your approach to the people inside your company, get to know the people outside your company whom you'll be selling to. The best place to start is with an audience analysis. Figure out which products will interest your target group the most. After all, if you don't know what resonates with them, all your messaging will be lost.
Then, ask yourself, "What do I want to say to attendees? What story do I want people to take away from the experience?" Knowing the answers to these questions could make or break how you channel information to your audience.
Consider how attendees may be expected to experience (interact) with your products. For instance, if you have a cell phone exhibit, will this group focus on service or the phones' form or shape? Information like this will help you determine the best placement of products and how to allocate space in your exhibit.
Also, create a preliminary exhibit design using a forest vs. trees approach. Decide what you want your space to feel and look like first, and then incorporate the shapes and elements. As Hostetler says, "It's the whole gestalt thing: Consider the overall approach first, and the details become more obvious."
Then, you're ready to decide which path you'll take to create a clean, appealing exhibit.
Path 1: Eliminating overpopulation
Of course, the easiest way to de-clutter your exhibit is to limit the number of products you'll feature in it. Unfortunately, though, to cut down on what you take to a show, first you'll need to get everyone to set aside their egos and work together for the greater company good. How?
Call a meeting as early in the design process as possible. Relay the information you've obtained from your audience analysis. And present broad, possible solutions you can implement in your exhibit design that will meet the needs of each shareholder.
Encourage all of them to think bigger — about your company brand, not their small portion of it. In other words, motivate them to cooperate, not compete. Have everyone agree on a strategy and how they will support it.
Make them a part of the ongoing process of creating a knockout exhibit by establishing communication paths, so they understand the chain and how to communicate with you and each other. Getting everyone to play nice and work together will help in gaining support for which products really need to be in your exhibit and which wares go where.
Path 2: Making everything fit
Sometimes, despite your best efforts, you may not be able to limit the number of products in your exhibit. If this is the case, shift your focus from quantity to placement.
After you do your research, prepare for your shareholder meeting by determining how to represent your messaging and strategy and ways to utilize products to reinforce your message without making your exhibit look cluttered. One way of doing this is to eliminate redundancy. For example, if you have a line of closely related products, show one product for the focus piece and place a bulleted graphic behind it that explains its features.
If, for some reason, you must show the entire product line, use a strategic plan to organize placement. For instance, you can organize products according to business segments, such as function or solution sets, with solution ideas grouped together. Or group the products in a visual (e.g., by color) or architectural manner to make your exhibit visually appealing while still conveying one message. Or unify your exhibit space by placing an element that represents the company, such as your company logo, around or behind a group of products.
Lighting can create a unifying effect too.
For some variety, try mixing horizontal and vertical elements. "At a recent event, we aligned Dyson's products horizontally and in the line of sight as you entered the space," Hostetler recalls. "The Dyson line had a cohesive look, yet each product had its own vertical pedestal and stood on its own as a showpiece."
And keep in mind that, although you may be required to take a multitude of products to a show, you don't have to treat all of them the same way. You can always highlight a smaller number of products, perhaps the newest from a group, and store the rest in an organized cabinet or drawer that exhibit staff can easily access if an attendee wants to see another version of the product on display.
Discuss these options with your product managers and other shareholders and assure them no one's product is getting short shrift. Their buy-in is essential, whether you follow Path 1 or 2.
Don't be afraid to be the expert
Your strategy is key to designing a clutter-free exhibit. It keeps you — and all the other interested parties — focused on your brand, message and audience experience. Plus, it helps you better organize and streamline your exhibit while meeting everyone's needs.
Be ready to explain why your strategy is a better approach than jamming your exhibit full of too many products. Detail how it will achieve your company's goals, improve attendee experience and possibly save on expenses, for example, by reducing shipping costs.
Remember you're not just a message carrier; you're a source of valuable input, a leader who can keep everyone focused on the goals at hand. By being prepared, providing insightful counsel and getting everyone on the same page, you can design a clutter-free exhibit that will wow attendees and deliver the results everyone at your company is aiming for.

Holliday's 4 RBIs lift Cards past Rockies
DENVER (AP) — Matt Holliday admittedly misjudged a first-inning fly ball that sailed over his head in left field for a double. The Cardinals slugger more than made up for it.
Holliday homered, doubled and drove in four runs, and Kyle Lohse persevered through an erratic outing to win his fifth consecutive decision and lift St. Louis over the Colorado Rockies 11-6 on Tuesday night.
"I screwed up that ball in the first inning," said Holliday, who ran in initially before backpedaling only to have Eric Young Jr.'s fly ball go over his head for a leadoff double that opened the door to two runs after the Cardinals had grabbed a 4-0 lead.
"(Second baseman) Skip (Schumaker) had a chance to make a play on the pitcher's base hit" in the sixth inning, Holliday added. "So, I think Kyle pitched better than the numbers said. But he's pitched great all season. We were finally able to give him a little bit of a cushion and get him a win."
Carlos Beltran and David Freese also homered, and Allen Craig went 3 for 3 with two walks and three RBIs to help the Cardinals rebound from consecutive losses. The Rockies dropped to 0-4 on their homestand and have lost seven of eight overall.
Lohse (11-2), who also beat the Rockies three weeks ago in St. Louis, gave up nine hits and five runs in six innings, breaking a string of 10 consecutive quality starts. He struck out five and walked two.
"I had to make a lot of pitches, a lot of tough ones, had a lot of guys on base," Lohse. "It was just one of those nights where balls were falling in. We had chances to get out of some innings. Things started happening.
"We've got to start playing better. It started tonight. We've got to tighten things up and get the job done," Lohse added.
He got more than enough offensive support, though, and the newly reinforced Cardinals bullpen pitched in with three innings of one-run ball. In a trade completed earlier Tuesday, St. Louis acquired right-handed reliever Edward Mujica from the Miami Marlins for minor league infielder Zack Cox.
Rockies starter Jeff Francis (3-3) went four innings, his second shortest outing since he lasted only 3 1-3 innings in his initial start on June 9 for the Rockies. He allowed six hits and five runs, struck out two and walked none.
Trailing 6-2 in the sixth, the Rockies pulled to within one on Josh Rutledge's three-run homer off Lohse.
Reliever Adam Ottovino got his first major league hit, a single, with two outs. Eric Young Jr. followed with a single to right, and Rutledge followed with a drive over the left field wall for his third homer of the season.
But the Cardinals came right back in the seventh to rebuild a four-run cushion. Craig drew a one-out walk, and Holliday, formerly of the Rockies, followed with a homer over the center field wall, his 19th shot of the year. One out later, Freese extended his hitting streak to 11 games by connecting for his 15th homer.
Craig singled for a third time in the eighth, scoring Skip Schumacher and pinch-hitter Matt Carpenter after they each singled and advanced on a sacrifice.
"They just keep coming at you," Rockies manager Jim Tracy said of the Cardinals. "They threw up five runs in the first two innings of the game. Bottom line is 11 runs, that's a big number."
St. Louis jumped to a 4-0 lead before Francis, who had been 6-1 in 11 previous outings against the Cardinals, recorded an out.
"A couple of tough mistakes to some good hitters," Francis said. "I hit the guy and Matt and Beltran hit some mistakes. I really felt good all day, but when guys take advantage of mistakes early in the game, it put us in a big hole."
Francis hit Daniel Descalso, the first batter he faced, and Craig followed with a single. Holliday scored them both with a double to the center field fence, and Beltran drove Francis' first offering deep into the left field bleachers for his 24th homer.
The Rockies answered in their half of the first. Young led off with a double that went over the head of Holliday in left field. One out later, Carlos Gonzalez brought him home with a single to left that extended his hitting streak at Coors Field to 29 games, one shy of Larry Walker's team record, set during the 2002 season.
Michael Cuddyer followed with a run-scoring double to center.
St. Louis added single runs in the second and sixth innings. Schumacher tripled and scored on Craig's single to right to put the Cardinals up 5-2, and St. Louis went up by four when Beltran doubled and scored on a single by Jon Jay.
Todd Helton had an RBI double for the Rockies in the ninth.
NOTES: Mujica is expected to join the Cardinals in time for Wednesday night's game against the Rockies. … Rockies center fielder Dexter Fowler was a late scratch from the lineup after coming down with flulike symptoms. Young replaced him in the lineup. … Holliday is 10-for-19 with three home runs and 11 RBIs against Colorado this season. … Rutledge and Jordan Pacheco each had three hits for the Rockies. .. The Rockies' Drew Pomeranz (1-6) faces the Cardinals' Jake Westbrook (9-8) on Wednesday.

A Nashville House Tour from Cookie Magazine
Earlier today on Ohdeedoh, we featured Oden and Lucy's rooms (the kids who live in this fantastic Nashville reno). In addition to gaining all-ages inspiration from their kids' room design and furniture choices, the rest of the home is full of ideas as well:
A few things we love:
• built-in closets and bright accessories in a very white kitchen
• goes without saying: all that wood
• off-center conversation area in the living room
• b&w photography of the kids in the kitchen
See the full house tour here at Cookie magazine.

Christ the King's players eased up, thinking Day 2 of practice was over.
Big mistake.
New coach Tyree Allison wasn't happy with the way a few players finished up their springs.
"Again," he barked.
This time, nobody broke into a jog. As they gathered together, not everyone took a knee — one player sat down.
Another mistake.
"Get up," the new Royals coach yelled. "We're running again."
A few players got on the teammate who extended practice.
Even bigger mistake.
"This is a valuable lesson," he seethed. "Don't blame the other guy — pick him up."
Such is life in Middle Village, where Allison is the new sheriff, a demanding former NFL player who is attempting to resuscitate a dormant program previously run by Chris Higgins. The CK math teacher and former Hofstra star is attempting to do so by remaking the program his way, holding players accountable for themselves and each other.
The team motto is "TBA" — trust, believe and accountability.
"The main thing is to get them mentally tough, get them to buy into the system," said Allison, 35, who has coached as an assistant coach at C.W. Post and Stony Brook on the collegiate level and at Long Island high schools West Hempstead and West Islip. "What I want these guys to realize is this is serious. We don't want to be the joke of the conference. We have to do things right."
The players have bought in. They respond to Allison with "yes, coach," and met all of his strict off-season weight lifting and training requirements, which Buffalo-bound running back James Coleman described as "college rules." The senior tailback, who was third in the CHSFL AA-A in total offense with 2,108 yards to go along with 20 total touchdowns a year ago, said the overall feel at practice is different because of Allison. Every detail is harped upon, and the players don't mind because they know he's in their corner.
"If he's not out here teaching, he's in his office working on schemes or calling a college coach about a kid," receiver/tight end Jordan Fuchs, said. "He's always doing something for us. … He knows how to get people motivated, he knows what to say and he's very intense."
Coleman said: "It's a big difference. Players connect with him. We see him as an idol, he knows what it takes."
Allison does have a lot of talent to work with, starting Coleman and Fuchs, who is drawing tons of high-major interest from the likes of Rutgers, Connecticut, USC, Ohio State and Michigan after catching nine touchdowns last fall.
Quarterback Matt Gluick is back after missing plenty of time last fall due to injury. If the offensive line, led by senior offensive tackles Terrence Brown and Chris Banner and sophomore center Rashawn Williams, can give him time, Allison expects the Royals to ring up plenty of points.
"The sky's the limit for these guys if they continue to take football serious," Allison said.
Coleman will anchor the Christ the King defense at secondary, Brown, Williams and Banner will all be counted on up front and returning starters Josh Seaford, who led the divison in tackles last season, and Frankie Dimaiolo will anchor the linebacker corps. Allison is high on Fuchs and Coleman's basketball teammate Thomas Holley, a 6-foot-5, 280-pound defensive tackle new to the sport.
"He's definitely going to be a Division I prospect," Allison said. "UConn and Rutgers like him. He's the strongest kid on the team."
One of Allison's first moves had nothing to do with discipline or accountability. He posted the team's ranking — 19 out of 20 teams — for all his players to see. That sparked the Royals' inspired offseason training regimen and has them chomping at the bit to get the season going against Nazareth Sept. 8.
"It's no respect for any of us," Coleman said. "I took that personally. We have big-time players here. We're trying to go to the 'AA' championship [game]."
