Bad Decision
This pic is from the 10th Annual All Breeds Jeep Show in York, Pennsylvania. I was showing off my Rusty's long-arm kit to about 800 people in the middle of their off-road course. I guess it was too steep of an angle. Whoops!

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Thursday that the firing of New York Times /quotes/zigman/235682/delayed /quotes/nls/nyt NYT executive editor Jill Abramson demonstrates the need for equal-pay legislation.
"Look what happens — it appears — at the New York Times. The woman who ran that newspaper was fired yesterday. Why? It's now in the press, because she complained she was doing the same work as men, in different jobs, and made a lot less money than they did," the Nevada Democrat said on the Senate floor.
That's a reference to a piece in The New Yorker about Abramson's firing. The New York Times, it should be noted, disputes this allegation.

NJ Assembly Approves Gas Station Power Bill
New Jersey lawmakers have approved a bill that would allow gas stations to get zero-interest loans to pay for wiring stations to generators.
The state Assembly passed the measure Monday. It now heads to the Senate.
Proponents say the measure would help prevent another gas crisis like the one after Superstorm Sandy.
Fuel industry leaders have supported the bill, but stress the need to also focus on delivery issues that plagued motor fuel operations following the storm.
The measure would create a two-year pilot program that would provide loans for up to 10 years and $10,000.
Under the bill, qualified gas stations would be those on or near the Atlantic City Expressway, the Garden State Parkway, the New Jersey Turnpike and other roads considered evacuation routes.

After Macklemore Tour, Andrew Joslyn '12 Back to Berklee Online
Prior to recently touring the U.S. and world with Macklemore and Ryan Lewis and appearing on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Berklee Online alumnus Andrew Joslyn '12 had to take a "terrifying" leap. In July 2013, he quit his "dream job" as an A&R manager at the Seattle-based indie label Votiv in order to play the world's largest concert venues before tens of thousands of hip-hop fans each night.
A multi-instrumentalist, composer, orchestrator, and scorer, Joslyn plays violin on several of the tracks on Macklemore and Ryan Lewis's The Heist, which won four 2014 Grammy Awards, including Best New Artist, Best Rap Performance, Best Rap Song, and Best Rap Album (the album was nominated for seven Grammys, including Album of the Year and Song of the Year.) Joslyn also recruited and conducted other string players who perform on The Heist, and thanks to his string arrangements, Joslyn shares co-songwriting credits on two of the acclaimed album's tracks, "Neon Cathedral" and "Wing$."
Watch the music video for "Wing$" here:
Joslyn's day-to-day life changed overnight upon joining the Macklemore tour, but the call to do so came after years of hard work in Seattle and music education with Berklee.
From Studio to Stage: Making Music with Macklemore
Joslyn had developed a reputation in Seattle as an excellent multi-tracking studio arranger who was adept at bridging the worlds of classical music and rock. He connected with Ben Haggerty (a.k.a Macklemore) thanks to a friend who passed the burgeoning rapper a tape featuring Joslyn on violin.
"This was when Macklemore first got out of rehab," Joslyn says. "He had no career and no buzz. When I first met the guy, he was living in his parents' basement and he had a sound recording booth shoved up against a wall in the corner so he could track things like vocals and violin."
Soon, Joslyn started playing live with Macklemore, along with a trumpet player and a DJ. A couple months later, Ryan Lewis teamed up with Macklemore to work on songs that would eventually turn into The Heist and propel the duo forward as one of the most popular artists in contemporary music.
"It was an incredible feeling to watch this album that we'd all been involved with hit right at the top of the charts," Joslyn says. "And now for it to garner seven Grammy nominations? That's not something that I ever thought would be a possibility in my lifetime."
Still, Joslyn feels equipped to navigate his new path in music, in part due to his education with Berklee Online, through which Joslyn has earned a master's certificate in music business as well as a certificate in orchestration for film and television.
Coming Back for More: Joslyn and Berklee Online
Joslyn holds a bachelor's degree in English literature from Western Washington University and, even after earning two certificates from Berklee Online, he is enrolled in more Berklee Online courses this semester in order "to re-up on some things" such as advanced theory and counterpoint. He explains that he was initially drawn to Berklee shortly after completing his undergraduate studies while he was touring the West Coast with a rock band.
"It was just a bunch of bros hanging out and rocking out," Joslyn says. "It was fun, but at a certain point, I thought, 'I need to be realistic about this and find a way to have some sort of career longevity.' So I started taking online classes with Berklee."
The online format appealed to Joslyn because it enabled him to take courses while still working full-time at Votiv. Joslyn points to professors such as Brad Hatfield, Mike King, and George Howard as particularly helpful and says that Berklee Online was "instrumental in my development as a better performer, artist, arranger, and musician—period."
"The thing that I loved is that I had these Berklee professors who weren't academic stowaways up in some ivory tower," Joslyn adds. "They were working in their field day-to-day. I wanted to learn about publishing and licensing and the stuff that every single artist really needs to know, and I love Berklee for teaching that stuff so well and making it accessible."
The most important real-world result of his Berklee experience, says Joslyn, is that he now feels he can walk into a studio to deliver his next great track while getting a fair deal and protecting himself as an artist.
"I absolutely wanted to have a piece of paper saying, 'Yeah, I'm a badass from Berklee,'" says Joslyn. "But that only matters if the information that you're getting actually helps, and I'm still exercising the vast majority of the knowledge that I got from my Berklee classes, which is why I'm coming back for more."
A Sherpa for Orchestra Nerds
On Friday, January 10, 2014, Joslyn kicked off the year by appearing on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in support of Mary Lambert, who wrote the hook featured in Macklemore and Lewis' hit song, "Same Love."
Watch the music video for "Same Love" here:
The Tonight Show appearance was just the first stop on what looks to be another crazy ride of a year for Joslyn, who will once again find time for his music education in between a number of other projects, including work with his own band, the Passenger String Quartet, an album of original compositions, and collaborations with David Bazan from Pedro the Lion and with the rock band Walking Papers, which includes former members of rock powerhouses Guns n' Roses and Screaming Trees.
Despite the exciting prospects on the horizon and even after performing at many of the world's top concert venues, however, Joslyn seems most excited not about the gratifying ride he is on but about the fact that he can bring others along with him.
"I started out as an orchestra geek looking in on the rock world and contemporary music and thinking, 'I want a part of that,'" Joslyn says. "Because of Berklee and touring and all of these experiences, I feel like I'm now a sherpa for other orchestra nerd friends of mine, because a lot of rock artists don't know how to talk to the classical world—but when I'm conducting these huge sessions for Macklemore and Ryan Lewis with a large string group, it just feels really incredible."

Paper-wrapped Mini Sponge Cake Recipe. Soft, cottony, pillowy, and airy, the best sponge cake EVER, wrapped in cute paper cups!
Remember the mini egg cake recipe I posted a couple of months ago?
Many people left comments and tried the recipe, and everyone was asking me about the paper-wrapped mini sponge cake recipe that ones get at Asian-style bakery shops.
You know, those cute cup-shaped cake that is spongy, soft, airy, light, and oh-so-good at tea time, or breakfast time?
Yes, I've got you covered as I have invited my contributor CP Choong back to share this mini sponge cake recipe with you.
I love this mini sponge cake very much.
Every time I go to Asian bakery shops, I would always pick up a couple of these.
They are not greasy, and not too dense, so I feel less guilty eating them because they are probably lower in calories (I might be completely wrong but it appears so).
Plus, the paper-wrapped/paper-cup shape is always such an eye-candy, and I just can't help picking them up.
Anyway, my contributor CP Choong told me that she learned this recipe from a Chinese language website.
After a few attempts, she has perfected this recipe.
When I was home earlier this year, I was lucky to taste these sponge cakes that she made.
They were absolutely delightful, and taste exactly the same as the ones you get at bakery shops.
Try out if you love them.

|CSRI - History
The League of Corporate Foundations (LCF) is a membership organization of over 80 operating and grant making corporate foundations and corporations, seeking to provide business solutions to social problems in the Philippines through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). LCF's primary advocacy is to be the driving force in the formation of a highly committed business sector working effectively with communities and partner institutions toward the attainment of equitable and sustainable development.
One of the major milestones of the LCF is the establishment of the Corporate Social Responsibility Institute (CSRI) in July 2007 as one of its flagship programs. CSRI as LCF's capacity development arm, is envisioned to institutionalize learning processes and systematically organize sharing of information, experiences, best practices and lessons learned with the existing CSR practitioners, the academe, students, business entities, both large and small, civil society organizations and the general public.
Consistent with LCF's vision, CSRI aims to institutionalize the core values of responsible corporate citizenship into the way of doing business, to mold future business leaders who recognize their role in society and to professionalize the practice of CSR.
Towards this end, CSRI is working on two major thrusts: Academic and Professional development.
In academic development, CSR Institute is working for the integration of CSR in the educational curriculum. Working with various educational and industry associations, CSRI develops CSR syllabus, conduct faculty development trainings and builds up teacher training materials. The model syllabus on 'Social Responsibility and Good Governance" for business administration students in tertiary level has already been developed and currently being rolled out through faculty development programs. In the near future, CSRI also intends to provide professional consultancy services internship opportunities for students of corporate social responsibility.
For professional development, the CSR Institute conducts specialized seminars/workshops and events targeted to deepen the skills of the existing and would-be CSR practitioners. For these activities, CSRI taps on the wealth of expertise of LCF members and its partners to help them get to learn the rigors of managing social development programs that bring significant impact to the society at large while creating value to the business.
CSR teachings can only be effective if validated with serious and scientific research. Thus, research and publication is the cornerstone of CSRI in advancing the knowledge and practice of CSR to support academic and professional development thrusts. The CSR Institute undertakes topic writing, case writing and special research projects that can be ultimately used as learning materials for everyone interested in corporate social responsibility.

Oh manomanoman this is a long review. It's pretty good though.
Could never get into this band.
Album Rating: 4.0I'm somewhat attached to this album, so I felt the need to single out every song. I'm not a fan of the style either, but I couldn't really come up with a review any other way. :c
Album Rating: 3.5Not a fan of the TBT, but I do like this album. It's their first good album since the Keeper of the Seven Keys albums. If you haven't heard "Gambling With The Devil" than you should because it is an awesome album.
Album Rating: 4.0Very good review, this is one my favorite Helloween albums.
Album Rating: 4.5For me one of the best albuns of helloween... 4.5 rate
no more track by track
Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound OffThe next one will be better but Better Than Raw was the first really above average record these guys made since Pink Bubbles Go Ape. My favourite songs here are Hey Lord!, Don't Spit on My Mind, I Can, A Handful of Pain and specially Push. Andi Deris performance on Push is unbelievably powerful.

....I thought it was a joke since the post you made says April fools but I thought that was just acknowledging what day it was. My bad, and now I feel really dumb. In regards to your site, ya I think it looks great. It's really clean while holding a lot of aesthetics.
I'm glad to hear that. When I'm done with this and another project I'm working on, I'm planning a redesign of my actual site, infectionist.com. It's definitely in need of one.
Edit: Can anyone help me think of a clever snappy title for the service? I'm pretty uncreative when it comes to that.
Last edited by HaLo2FrEeEk; 04-02-2011 at 05:44 PM. .
Clever snappy title for the service? You mean the challenges one? IDK maybe: Efficient Challenges Initiative, Challenge Tips Initiative, Challenge Tips Database or CTD. Those are just off the top of my head.
One Spartan Army - 2000cR
Kill 400 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking.
- This will be a couple games, so probably go with Score Attack variants as they are the fastest way to do it. Be sure to do at least one 2X Score Attack though as they are the easiest way to get Points, Points challenge today too.
L.D. Spear - 5000cR
Complete Tip of the Spear, without dying, on Legendary with Mythic, Thunderstorm, Tilt, and Tough Luck on.
- Be sure you have the right skulls on and that it is on Legendary. Remember to go slow and probably trade out for Covenant weapons as soon as you can because of Tilt. Take out the AA Guns with vehicles from a distance to save yourself the trouble and remember if you do die, you can go through the level until the last checkpoint, save and quit, then resume to finish it off and still get it.
Points, Points - 1750cR
Score 20,000 points in a Firefight Matchmaking game.
- 2X Score Attack is the best way as it gives the most points in Score Attack mode.
I'm Rubber, You're Glue - 1100cR
Earn 2 sticky grenade Kills in a multiplayer Matchmaking game.
- Invasion could be good as the Elites get starting stickies and Humans don't start off with armor lock. Team Slayer can work too if you know the grenades spawns well. If you can get Elite Slayer you are even better off, though don't try and stick anyone with a Plasma Rifle, as they have Armor Lock. Team Objective can also be a good idea as often there is no Armor Lock and the focus, of the game at least, isn't kills.
It's the last checkpoint right before you end the level. I'm not sure if you get one after you kill the last sword elite though.
Last time this challenge popped up I got really lucky. It still took me about an hour and a half, but I was having the hardest time with the sword elite. Luckily I had a jetpack, so I lured him to the edge of the Spire and let him lunge at me. I jumped off the edge and saved myself with the jetpack...he wasn't as lucky. :D It was fun to watch him fall. Hopefully I'll get lucky like that again, I'm going for the challenge now.
Also, Tech Artist, you just gave me an idea to expand the Challenge project. People will submit tips and others can comment on them to clarify details and whatnot, like you did by asking about the checkpoint, that was perfect. But I don't want comments to be used for posts like your previous one, so I might add another layer for people to post their success stories. Maybe I'll just have a forum linked into it...idk, but I'll figure it out later, the idea is in my brain now, locked away tight.
Edit: Here's an interesting tidbit I just learned. I've been recording challenges for 59 days. At 4 challenges per day (not counting weekly challenges) I should have 236 challenges recorded, but I've only got 155. This means that the actual number of challenges is only 65.6% of what it should be. If my math is right, that means that challenges are reused about 35% of the time. Also, all of today's challenges were used within the last 59 days, in fact the oldest one is One Spartan Army, which I first recorded on 2/10/11, the newest is Points, Points, which I first recorded on 3/31/11, just 4 days ago!
Edit 2: Another interesting bit, I just did a query to find out the frequency of the different challenge images. As far as I know, no one has yet figured out exactly how these images are assigned to challenges, but I can at least take a look to see how common each different image is. We'll ignore image 1 since we know that it's always used for weekly challenges, we'll look at images 0, 2, 3, and 4:
0: Used 23 times out of 155, 14.8%
2: Used 21 times out of 155, 13.5%
3: Used 41 times out of 155, 26.5%
4: Used 70 times out of 155, 45.2%
Maybe when I get a hundred or so days recorded I'll have a large enough set of data to more accurately determine exactly how the images are chosen for challenges.
Challenges are often reused with different criteria than before, so for example you might get The Little Guys where you need to kill 75 grunts, and another where you need to kill 200. The most common example of this is with the challenge Shootin' and Lootin', for which I have seen 5 different variants ranging from 100 kills to 400 kills.
The average credit reward for daily challenges is 1,591.8387 with the highest being 5,000 and the lowest being 1,000 (remember this is only for the last 59 days). Average for weekly challenges is 12,919.6667 with the highest at 18,000 and the lowest at 7,777.
Well, you now have a new newest challenge.
Weekly Challenge:
Long Night of Solace: LASO - 14000cR
Complete Long Night of Solace, Legendary, All Skulls On (LASO).
- Remember, you probably don't need Blind on again.
I highly highly suggest doing this with a friend, one onu friendo as with each additional player the game makes it harder, so two good people is a good balance. HBO has a 3 Page Guide for this HERE. Main reason I suggest a friend is the Space Battle section, as you can easily get overwhelmed and then you have to restart from the beginning.
Daily Challenges:
Gunslinger - 2250cR
Kill 75 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking.
- About 3-8 games depending on skill and what you play. The easiest will be Grifball as longer games have lots and lots of kills, but don't be discouraged as you can play whatever you want though you should try and get this done as fast as possible in case you're going for the Weekly today.
Flat Tire - 1125cR
Kill 10 enemy vehicles in Firefight Matchmaking.
- Holdout in Sniper Attack or 2X Score Attack. Sniper Attack is preferred as it takes exactly 2 shots to kill the Banshees that fly in. 2X Score Attack takes a lot more finesse. Grab the Sprint Loadout, then check the Ordnance for a Sniper Rifle, if there is trade out your DMR for the Sniper. When Banshees fly in use short controlled bursts of AR to damage the Banshee a bit, then unload a Sniper Round in, if you don't damage it with the AR first one Sniper round kills the driver and not the Banshee. If there is no Sniper in the Ordnance, well Damage the Banshee a lot with the AR and finish off with the DMR, but not sure if this even works, if it doesn't try to Plasma Pistol then Stick it.
The Little Guys - 1500cR
Kill 200 Grunts in Campaign today on Normal or harder.
- The Package Rally Point Bravo or Nightfall Rally Point Bravo. The Package has a slightly longer setup, but more enemies, while Nightfall has a short setup and fewer enemies.
-- The Package is probably the way to go, sprint to the rock structure between Halsey's Lab and the first dropoff of Grunts and hide until a checkpoint, pop out and kill them, reload checkpoint and repeat.
-- Nightfall, sprint to the bridge and beat down the Elite, then back up off the bridge to get a checkpoint. Kill all the Grunts, reload, repeat a needed.
Legendary Friends - 2500cR
Complete any Campaign mission on Legendary in co-op mode.
- Because of this challenge, today may be the best day to do the Weekly. Otherwise get a friend and run through one of the easy missions quick. Probably Winter Contingency.
Alright guys, I'm sorry but it's not looking like I'm gonna be able to finish it by the 6th. I've just got too much left to do. I'll keep my twitter updated with my progress so if you want to keep track, just follow @InfectedTweets. I'm struggling with the user system.
Also, something happened for the first time today. Up until now I thought that image 1 was only used for weekly challenges, but it's being used for "Legendary Friends", which is a daily..hmmm...
Edit: Whoa whoa whoa, what just happened. I went into Fiesta Attack on Holdout, got the sniper and was able to take out two banshees. I know that I destroyed the banshees before I killed the driver because it only took one shot...but I didn't get the credit for the kills. Here's the game that shows that I did indeed kill the banshees:

Also, if you happen to have a listing of all the challenges and their symbol, I can look it over and see if I can discern a pattern.
OMG. This weekly was a pain in the ass. o_O
Here is my game: http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/Ga...=Tech%20Artist
3 hours and 9 mins to complete that mission(that is with skipping the beginning fight by running along the shoreline). 4 people makes the game ridiculously hard. We were all mentally and physically exhausted after beating that level. If Blind had been required, I don't think we would have been able to do it. In the end it was still a lot of fun even though it got very very frustrating most of the time. =)
Interesting note about our game: We got to the room where you have to activate the switch to put the Corvette on a refueling path for the Super Carrier(also the location of the BOB). We spent a good half an hour to 45 minutes just trying to figure out how to beat it. We tried every path just about to sneak up on the Elites. Eventually we all went down one path. We all crouch walked to the left, behind the Grunts, and got just about near the Gold Elite manning the terminal. When the 2nd Gold Elite came along, 2 of my friends jumped up and assassinated the 2 Gold Elites, while me and my other friend went after a Camo Elite above and the Gold BOB.
So basically in one fell swoop we eliminated 4 Elites. We then started killing Grunts while working our way as a group toward the other 2 Camo Elites(which we took out quickly). Of course, to my dismay, we still had a quarter of the level left, lol.
It took us many tries to get that to work. I'd say like 20. Mainly because of the Marines, the Elites taking different routes and seeing us or even coming up behind us somehow, and sometimes we screwed up. Lots of deaths on that mission. If we hadn't skipped the beginning, that time would have easily been 4 hours or more.
FrEeEK: Glad I could help! =) Looking forward to seeing your site!
Covenant-cide - 1100cR
Kill 120 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking.
- You will get this while going for Be Their Huckleberry. Not that hard, shouldn't take more than 2 games of Score Attack Playlist.
Be Their Huckleberry - 1500cR
Kill 200 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking with the pistol.
- 2X Score Attack or Gruntpocalypse. Trying to snipe with the Magnum may be kinda hard in Gruntpocalypse, so you may have to let them get closer, so you may be better off in 2X Score Attack because the stopping power is great with the double damage.
Iron Will - 2500cR
Complete a Campaign mission alone on Heroic or harder with the Iron Skull on.
- Nightfall or Winter Contingency. Nightfall is faster, but Winter Contingency can be slogged through more consistently for more novice players.
Put Your Quarter Up - 1750cR
Complete 15 games in multiplayer Matchmaking.
- It's a Tuesday, so depending on how much time you have you may wish to go for the shorter Grifball and Living Dead Playlists.
I'm not sure by April 6th, Duke meant that the site will be open through April 6th, or if it will shut down on April 6th (as in midnight). Regardless, I want to put this in here so future generations will see it and be redirected to the right place:
I've officially announced the project I've been working on. Short of writing it all out again, it's basically a way for the community to share their tips and tricks on the best way to complete challenges. It's totally community driven; users write the tips, comment on the tips, and vote on the tips. Higher-voted tips will be pushed to the top to make sure that the first thing you see is the best information, determined by the community. You can read a little more about it here:
As of this post, it's not done...honestly it's not near done. I've got a lot to do, but I'm working diligently on it. You can watch my progress on the main page, here:
And for more information, be sure to follow the Twitter @InfectedTweets. I've been keeping it updated with my progress and things related to (and not related to) the project. It's the best way to stay up to date.
Gunslinger - 2750cR
Kill 150 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking.
- 6-15 games depending on skill and gametype. Grifball is a great way to get lots of kills, but Multi-Team is pretty good too.
Killagruntjaro! - 1100cR
Earn 10 multikills in a Firefight Matchmaking game.
- Gruntpocalypse. If you can't get 10 multikills you have a problem. Grunts spawn and travel in groups of 4, so you should be able to get at least a triple in most groups. Do that to 5 groups and you're set.
Just a Shower - 2000cR
Complete any Campaign mission on Normal or harder with Thunderstorm on.
- Nightfall or Winter Contingency. Again Nightfall can be faster, but Winter Contingency is a good backup if you aren't used to it yet.
Triple Thrill - 2000cR
Earn any 3 Sprees in a multiplayer Matchmaking game.
- Play Living Dead.
- Get 5 shotgun kills in one life.
- ???
- Profit.

It wasn't too long ago that it was March and the Mets were telling everybody who was asking that spring training records and statistics mean nothing.
Well, the games and numbers count now, and the Mets are 2-4, losing consecutive series to the Marlins and Nationals, teams they should at least be beating at home.
Pitching will decide this season and already the winter concerns resurfaced during the first week. Mike Pelfrey pitched better, but he's had moments like that before and then regressed. For Pelfrey to be lit up in his next start, Thursday night in Colorado, wouldn't be a surprise.
John Maine did not pitch well in his first start and neither did Oliver Perez. While Maine goes tonight against the Rockies, look for the Mets to skip Perez to keep Johan Santana on regular rest.
Jon Niese was strong in his start, but still lost – primarily because the offense is still in Port St. Lucie – and Santana has had both a good and bad outing.
The pitching has not been good with an average of just under five a game. Everybody has been wild and no starter has made it past the sixth inning, and everybody save Pelfrey has an ERA over 4.50.
Is there help on the horizon? Nope, and let's not even think about trading for Cincinnati's Aaron Harang, who is due $25 million over the next two years. Despite the talk on the call-in shows, Bronson Arroyo is not available.
Let's face it, any pitcher of substance would, 1) be not be offered, and 2) if he were would cost a lot in prospects.
Help, quality help, isn't coming. These guys have to pick it up for themselves.
If they don't the bullpen will be quick to fall.
Without the bullpen, the Mets are 1-5 and there would be more wailing than wondering. Even so, a trend of recent seasons has returned, and that is an over reliance on the pen. At this rate, before you know it, the innings will have piled up and we'll be talking about the holes in the bullpen.
Fernando Nieve has the hot arm and he's been in four of six games already. With how Jerry Manuel has used the pen before, it won't be long before Nieve is burned out.
Some of the pitching problems would be offset if the team was hitting, but it is third worst in the National League at .245, and .189 with runners in scoring position.
All of the losses can be traced to their inability to hit with runners in scoring position.
It's too early to panic, but not too early to recognize a trend and how the Mets aren't headed on a good path.
And, that path takes them into Colorado and St. Louis this week, two of the more difficult venues to play in the National League. Those aren't places where a team gets well.

The fallout from the 9-11 hat flap was disturbing on several levels, beginning with MLB's inane policy to forbid the Mets and Yankees from wearing them during their games Sunday.
Joe Torre, VP of operations for MLB, said it was a decision to be uniform throughout the sport that day with teams wearing caps with the flag emblem. But, why deny the Mets, Yankees and Nationals, teams hit personally by the tragedy?
No good reason. MLB being MLB, I guess.
That Commissioner Bud Selig is reportedly angry at the Mets for making this public indicates his embarrassment over the issue, and he's that way because he knew he blew it. How could he, or anybody else with MLB, not forecasted this would have been an issue in New York?
MLB's offices are in Manhattan. Didn't anybody stick their head out a window last week to get a feel for things? Why do you think MLB had the Mets and Cubs on that night? Like ESPN, they wanted to country to look in that day at New York. It's why the Cowboys at the Jets was the NFL prime game. Get those ratings up, baby.
If the Yankees had been home to Kansas City that night, that would have been the game. If the Giants were home instead of the Jets, they would have been the attraction. This isn't all that hard to figure out.
Obviously, they weren't paying attention when the NFL backed down late last week to public opinion on players wearing gloves and shoes in support of 9-11. By the way, coaches and players for the Giants, Redskins, Jets and Cowboys all wore caps honoring first responders on the sidelines.
That this issue was still the focus last night says this is, and always will be, a hot button issue for MLB.
Now, we're speculating all sorts of things that continue to put the Mets and MLB in a bad light. Did the Mets back down because of their financial issues and the loan they received from MLB? Was this decision made because MLB could market their US flag caps?
Maybe none of those are issues, but it can't escape speculation.
Lastly, Terry Collins admitted the hat flap was a distraction last night. Tonight, the pregame questions of the players will be centered on was last night really a distraction? So, because of an anal decision by MLB, this turns into two or three-day story.
Personally, I can't believe he would have the nerve to pin the loss on that issue as a distraction. As an athlete, they have to disregard such nonsense. Collins was making an excuse.
The Mets lost last night because they couldn't field or hit the ball and wasted another quality start by RA Dickey.

More specifically I'm referring to when people tell you something like "God is punishing you" or "God loves you" when they know you're an atheist? The double standard in this is obvious when you reveal your view towards it and you're immediately labeled as arrogant or close-minded. I think this notion is asinine because the fact that they aren't receptive to your worldview is the very essence of being close-minded.
How do you "win" so to speak in these situations? What do you all do?
P.S. I'm thankful for atheist communities such as this because if I didn't have it to unwind I'd lose my mind.
Views: 991
That's the problem. You can't "win" when they refuse to acknowledge your differences.It's different if they don't actually know you are an atheist, but once they do know then they show that they obviously don't care about mutual respect.
What to do? It's simple. Do anything you want.
Depending on my mood I either humor them, by saying things such as "Odin and Mohammed loves you too!" or, "Which one? Why not the thousands of other gods you don't believe in either?" or the flat out, "You know I don't believe in that bullshit so stop with the "god this, god that". Don't want me disrespecting your beliefs? Believe in something more rational than bronze age mythology". Personally, I don't advocate brushing it off... It just leaves them to believe they can keep at it without being called out for it.
My response to this is to dismiss their views and move on.
When people act like this, starting a discussion only lends validity to their views as you tacitly accept their position as reasonable to talk about, and they are so ignorant and close minded you will only frustrate yourself trying to win.
It annoys me to no end when people dismiss my views or label me close minded, because I put a lot of thought and research into forming my opinions. I do get some satisfaction (real or imagined) from the thought of people like the ones you mention getting worked up as I use their own tactic on them.
Nowadays I tend to mentally replace "god" with e.g. "Odin" or "the fairies" in such statements, so responding by laughing at them, "that's nice" (as said to a child showing you a bad drawing they've done), "is that the reason why you're so ugly" or something similar comes much more easily and naturally.
+5 pleasure for you for not bottling things up and -5 pleasure for them for being treated like an idiot. If someone chooses to demonstrate a lack of respect for me like that, they will find the same attitude coming back at them pretty fast.
Disclaimer: I do not do what I have said above in some circumstances, such as where the other party is grieving over something or if I felt an argument would be worthwhile. I also agree with Jonathan's implication that we need to pick our battles appropriately.
All the evil in this world, and I'm the one God decides needs punishing? He needs to sort out his priorities!
Maybe if He spent less time punishing me and more time restoring the legs of amputees and feeding an infant in Africa before the kid starves to death, this world might be a better place.
I think next time someone says they'll pray for me I will say, "Pray if you want, but I would prefer that you do what you can to support me physically and mentally. I really need x,y,z."
Oh gosh I hate when people do that! This is a pet peeve of mine, so when someone says something like "God is punishing you" I respond something like this: "Which god?"
And sometimes the look in their faces is priceless!
Many years before an old man, who knew that I am an atheist, said that I seem to be doing fine because of my goodness in my past life!! How could I respond to this if I did not know anything about my own past life?
When I was an atheistic Wiccan, I would simply reply with the equivalent statement: God bless / Goddess bless, Merry Christmas / Joyous Yule, &c.
Here where I live now, and everyone in the county knows me, no one gives me such greetings. (They still greet me of course, but leave out the religious overtones, except for one woman who used to be our neighbour and still thinks she can save us from her idea of the devil.)
In the latter case, she was more comfortable with me as a Wiccan than as an atheist. (I still hear the "you gotta believe in something" remark, but not so much anymore, as I believe in lots of things, just not unsubstantiated stories.)

Children's National Health System has a team of individuals who are highly skilled and experienced in the treatment of bone tumors, including osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma. Children's patients have access to the most current therapies in treating pediatric cancer through Children's Oncology Group's protocols and other clinical trials.
In addition, the Patient and Family Support Program Cancer and Blood Disorders provides comprehensive mental health and psychosocial services and helpful resources for all patients treated in the Center for Cancer Blood Disorders, as well as patients' parents and siblings.
Ewing sarcoma is a cancer that occurs primarily in the bone or soft tissue. Ewing sarcoma can occur in any bone, but is most often found in the extremities and can involve muscle and the soft tissues around the tumor site. Ewing sarcoma cells can also spread (metastasize) to other areas of the body including the bone marrow, lungs, kidneys, heart, adrenal gland, and other soft tissues. Ewing sarcoma accounts for about 1.8 percent of childhood cancers. About 150 children and adolescents are diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma each year in the US. It is the second most common malignant bone tumor in children and adolescents. Ewing sarcoma most often occurs in children between the ages of 5 and 20. The number of males affected is slightly higher than the number of females.
The majority of Ewing sarcomas result from a chromosome rearrangement between chromosomes #11 and #22. This rearrangement changes the position and function of genes, causing a fusion of genes referred to as a fusion transcript. Over 90 percent of individuals have an abnormal fusion transcript, involving two genes known as EWS and FLI1. This important discovery has led to improvements in diagnosing Ewing sarcoma. Similar to osteogenic sarcoma, trauma or injury is sometimes involved with the site at the time of diagnosis. However, this trauma is thought to bring the condition to attention rather than to have any causal relationship. Some physicians classify Ewing sarcoma as a primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET). This means the tumor may have started in fetal, or embryonic, tissue that has developed into nerve tissue.
The following are the most common symptoms of Ewing sarcoma. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include, but are not limited, to the following:
The symptoms of Ewing sarcoma may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your child's physician for a diagnosis.
In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination of your child, diagnostic procedures for Ewing sarcoma may include:
Ewing sarcoma is difficult to distinguish from other similar tumors. Diagnosis is often made by excluding all other common solid tumors, and by the use of genetic studies.
Also called osteosarcoma, osteogenic sarcoma is one of the most common types of bone cancer in children and accounts for nearly 3 percent of all childhood cancers. About 400 children are diagnosed with osteosarcoma each year. The disease usually occurs in the long bones, such as the arms (humerus), legs (femur/tibia), and pelvis. It rarely occurs in the jaw and fingers, but often occurs at the ends of these bones near growth plates. Osteosarcoma affects children most often between 10 and 25 years of age. This cancer is also more prevalent in males than in females, possibly because of the rapid growth rate at this age. Prior to adolescence, the percentage of affected males and females is equal. Osteogenic sarcoma cancer cells can also spread (metastasize) to other areas of the body. Most commonly, these cells spread to the lungs. However, bones, kidneys, the adrenal gland, the brain, and the heart can also be sites of metastasis.
It has been suggested that repeated trauma to an area may be a risk factor for developing this type of cancer. It is uncertain whether trauma is a cause or effect of the disease. Cancer lesions in the bone can make that area of the bone weaker, thus, making injury more likely. However, repeated injuries to a certain area of the bone may lead to an increased production of osteoid tissue to repair the damaged area. The rapid production of osteoid tissue may lead to the malignancy. It is thought, most often, that injury simply brings the condition to attention and has no causal relationship.
Genetics may play an important role in developing osteosarcoma. Children and adults with other hereditary abnormalities, including exostoses (bony growths), retinoblastoma, Ollier's disease, osteogenesis imperfecta, polyostotic fibrous dysplasia, and Paget's disease, have an increased risk for developing osteosarcoma.
This form of cancer has also been linked to exposure to ionizing irradiation associated with radiation therapy for other types of cancer (i.e., Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin disease).
The following are the most common symptoms of osteogenic sarcoma. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include, but are not limited to, the following:
The symptoms may have been present over a short period of time or may have been occurring for six months or more. Often, an injury brings a child into a medical facility where an x-ray may indicate suspicious bone lesions. The symptoms of osteogenic sarcoma may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your child's physician for a diagnosis.
In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination of your child, diagnostic procedures for osteogenic sarcoma may include:
The specialists at Children's National Health System aim not only to cure the cancer, but also to minimize the side effects of treatment. Specific treatment for a bone tumor will be determined by a child's physician based on the:
Treatment may include one, or more, of the following:
The factors for determining the prognosis and long-term survival of children with Ewing sarcoma or osteosarcoma include the following: Prognosis greatly depends on the:
As with any cancer, prognosis and long-term survival can vary greatly from child to child. Every child is unique and treatment and prognosis is structured around the child's needs. Prompt medical attention and aggressive therapy are important for the best prognosis. Continuous follow-up care is essential. Late effects of radiation and chemotherapy, as well as second malignancies, can occur in survivors of Ewing sarcoma and osteosarcoma. New methods are continually being discovered to improve treatment and to decrease side effects.

We actually had two LOTW winners this week!
Congrats to our winning layouts!!
What an amazing, purpley layout!
A perfect fall layout!
Today we are going to take the time to get to know aevans96!
What is your name? Angela
Where do you live? Pennsylvania
Do you have a blog? angelascustomcreations.blogspot.com
How long have you been scrapping?
I started paper scrapping about 8 years ago and switched to Digi in March of this year.
What is your favorite GingerScraps product?
There's a few. I really love the kits The Solider and Jack O'Lantern. But outside of kits I love the Cardboard by Harmonystar.
What is your scrapping weakness?
Using Brackets lol. I see others use them and they look great. But I just hit a wall If I have to use them.
Scrapping strength?
I guess I'm best at extractions. I'm getting pretty fast. I did 2 for a SS.
What is your favorite LO you've ever made (besides this winning one?) Well I have 3 favoriates but If I have to choose one I guess I would choose 'Beauty'
I did it a SS back in August and It's one of the 1st LO's I ever printed. It's my Friends Daughter. Matter of fact most of my LO's come from SS's lol. I guess I think to hard on my own.
What is on your mouse pad? It's plain black.
How do you like your eggs cooked? Scrambled
If you could do any kind of work and knew you wouldn't fail, what would you do?
Getting a job in Graphic Design in someone's business or being successful at my own making stuff for others.
What's something that can always make you feel better?
Scrapbooking lol. It's a total stress reliever for me.
If you could have one super power, what would it be?
My initial reaction is to read people's minds. But, I think my feelings would get hurt to know what some people think. Not to mention would it ever be quite? lol. I think that I would have to choose teleporting. I think it would be great after a long day of shopping with tons of bags. Instead of walking to the car and then driving all the way home I would just teleport me and my stuff. I think it would come in really handy. Plus I would save money on hotels 🙂
It is so great to get to know you better Angela!! Thanks for playing!

Seriously, the 5 stars is for Patty herself!! And the other guy behind the counter whose name I didn't get. They are awesome people and I think that is why their cupcakes are so awesome!
I used a groupon I bought that was going to expire next week and we decided to get an assortment of cupcakes to share. We tried:
Lemon with Lemon Curd (suuuuper lemony and super delicious! I want an entire cake made of this lol)
The Elvis (pretty good! i love that the banana cake isn't like banana nut bread, but banana flavored bread – it is so fresh tasting! the peanut butter frosting and bacon were an awesome combo)
Chocolate with Chocolate Frosting (the bit of cream in the middle of this cupcake reminded me of a hostess cupcake, but on a bigger and better scale! it was super sweet and chocolatey – a little too much so for me, but it was still good).
Red Velvet (not our fave – hubby and i were splitting the cupcakes every time we tried them and we saved this one for last, but were kinda disappointed. the cake wasn't as cocoa-y tasting as i liked and the frosting was not as flavorful as i had hoped)
Banana with Cream (my personal fave! the frosting is like pudding and it was so nom nom nom!).
We have others to try but we are seriously cupcaked out for now. Seriously, though, if you're in the area or even close by, stop in! They frost their cupcakes fresh to order and they are so pretty. We waited in our car and they were delivered to us by Patty herself who was so excited for us to see them that she asked me to open the box and look at them and my hubby proudly proclaimed "Now THAT'S a cupcake!"
Thanks, Patty! Keep up the awesome job!

The World's End (Movie Review)
08.23.2013 | By Jack Rico | No Comments">No Comments
The "1-4-0″: @TWEMovie is a mix of the first 2 Pegg and Frost films – funny, witty, swift cuts and packs and emotional punch beneath it.
The Gist: After an attack of nostalgia, an ol' high school friend decides to get the boys back together to finish what they started decades ago – complete 12 straight pubs until they reach the king of all pubs… The World's End. But shit goes horribly wrong again when something stands in their way.
The Highlights: The fact that Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and director Edgar Wright made such an entertaining movie about such a ludicrous premise is just pure talent at work. This movie will connect with people. Why? It explores themes of nostalgia, regrets, bygone youth and growing up.
The Lowlights: The premise can be seen as the weakest link, but the guys make it work. There is a plot twist that is just ridiculous which has shades of Hot Fuzz's storyline.
Pay or Nay?: Pay for it because it is a very funny film with a level of human connection. Ultimately, these are the types of movies Wright, Pegg and Frost do and we are just lucky to be witnesses to them!

Phil Tippett on Mad God and Crowd Funding
1 comment:
Nice article, though the questions were more interesting than that ads.
$14.00 for part I ? Huh? It better be some earth-shattering animation for that price. So, he gets a kickstarter shot-in-the-arm to fund it and then charges $14.00 to download? Too rich for my blood. That's too bad.

Connecticut Criminal Justice Masters Degree On Campus Programs
Criminal Justice Masters Degree On Campus Programs enhance academic and professional knowledge in the criminal justice and public services fields. As a social science, criminal justice tries to identify and explain patterns of criminal behavior and to analyze society's ability to prevent or control crime and delinquency. Encompassing crime, criminals, and the criminal justice system through an interdisciplinary approach, earning a Masters degree in Criminal Justice might mean that you study a combination of legal studies, sociology, political science, psychology, forensic science, public administration, urban studies, and philosophy. Some students enroll in a dual-degree program that allows them to simultaneously study law and earn a Juris Doctor degree, a law degree that is usually completed by those who wish to take state bar exams and become licensed, practicing lawyers. Other students go onto doctoral studies in criminal justice.
Criminal Justice Masters Degree On Campus Programs | Top Criminal Justice Schools
Are you trying to decide between online and on-campus study? Earning a campus-based Criminal Justice Masters Degree may be exciting, as you may have the opportunity to come face-to-face with experienced faculty, network and brainstorm with classmates, and have a hands-on as opposed to virtual learning experience. Potential perks of being onsite might include participating in college life, access to university libraries, laboratories, gymnasiums, and social services. Plus, what many of the best criminal justice schools might do is have classes in the evenings and weekends, so even working professionals may find convenient schedules for advanced learning.
GradSchools.com makes it easy to review some of the best criminal justice masters degree on campus programs. You can review accredited colleges and universities by location; simply use the city,
state or country tabs to browse listings in that area. For instance, some of the listings might include: MS Criminal Justice, Master of Public Administration: Criminal Justice Concentration, Master of Arts: Criminal Justice, or Criminology and Justice with Sociology.
What is a Criminal Justice Masters Degree Program?
If you are at the stage where you are reviewing Criminal Justice Masters Degree Programs, you might already have an idea of what type of career you are looking for. Or, you may be in a current career where you seek upward mobility and want to learn specialized skills to be able to potentially take on higher-level positions in management or administration. Depending on your orientation and the school, you might pursue a Master of Science in Criminal Justice (MSCJ), a Master of Arts in Criminal Justice (MACJ), a Master of Criminal Justice (MCJ) degree, a Master of Business Administration (MBA) in Criminal Justice degree.
The two main types of Criminal Justice Masters Degree On Campus Programs are the Master of Science in criminal justice and Master of Arts in criminal justice.
An MSJC program will include more science in the curriculum and fewer liberal arts courses. Students might choose from specializations such as:
- Forensic science
- Criminology
- Cyber-crime
- Behavior analysis
- Forensic psychology
MACJ programs may focus on research and analysis. Students might study topics such as:
- Law enforcement administration
- Organizational security
- Legal studies
- Homeland security
- Terrorism
- Mediation
- Public policy
What is a JD MSJC Program?
Some students enroll in a dual masters degree program. A JD/MSCJ program is commonly composed of criminal justice courses and law school courses.
Curriculum is mainly focused on law, the legal system, legal processes, and legal research. Students may study topics that might include:
- Contract, criminal, civil, constitutional, and juvenile law
- Criminal procedure
- Evidence handling
- Correction methods
- Drug policies
- Victim advocacy
Curriculum For Criminal Justice Masters Degree On Campus Programs
While masters in criminal justice programs may emphasize different subjects, common to many Criminal Justice Masters degrees is the study of criminology. Criminology is the scientific exploration of the basic components of crime. Criminal Justice is built on Criminology, in which the behavioral, sociological and legal aspects of criminology intersect.
Statistics and Research are also common to many of the different Masters Degree programs in Criminal Justice. These help students analyze crime statistics and data, recognize trends, and help to understand or formulate policy.
Many criminal justice masters degree on campus programs also include a forensics course.
Criminal justice focuses on the definitions, causes, and prevention of crime, and with legal processes and the treatment and rehabilitation of offenders. Also referred to as forensic science, forensics is a field that applies the use of science and technology to investigate evidence that a crime may have taken place. Fingerprinting, ballistics evidence, footwear evidence, and body analysis are all forensic methods that may be used as part of a criminal investigation. Other applications of forensics include forensic accounting and forensic psychology.
Students might often encounter at least one course in that covers the relationship between crime and the legal system, such as laws that regulate how a crime may be investigated, or legal penalties to a specific crime.
Careers Choice and Criminal Justice
Some careers in criminal justice involve administration and management, while others are more investigative. If you haven't figured out your area of specialization, do a little research in order to ensure you pick the right school and the right masters degree. Potential careers might include:
- Emergency Management Consultant/Director
- Crime Scene Investigator
- Criminal Law Attorney
- Computer Forensics Investigator
- Legal Investigator
- Corporate Investigator
- Financial Investigator
- Law Enforcement
- Correctional treatment specialist

The best ever marinated olives (aceitunas aliñadas)
Well, I don't actually know if that title holds true, but when I made these olives recently, then my dear K stated that these are better than anything he's ever had before (read: shop-bought marinated olives). I loved them, too.
I had few friends over for a tapas night recently, and wanted to serve aceitunas aliñadas. I browsed tens of recipes for Spanish-style marinated olives, and finally came up with this version. I had run out of sherry vinegar, so used a mixture of Spanish red wine vinegar and some dry sherry instead, but feel free to use sherry vinegar instead. As far as the olives are concerned, try to find Spanish ones that are unstoned - these have much more flavour compared to the stoned olives. I used Spanish hojiblanca olives, but arbequina, sevillano, manzanilla (f. ex. Campo Real), arauco would all work well, too.
These last for a week in a fridge, if not longer.
PS If you've got a favourite marinated olives recipe, I'd love to hear about it! Feel free to leave a link to your recipe in the comments section.
Marinated olives, Spanish style
(Marineeritud oliivid)
Serves four to six as part of a tapas table
about 200-250 g olives (in brine, drained weight)
1 Tbsp Spanish extra virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp sherry vinegar (or red wine viner + 1 Tbsp sherry)
1 tsp coriander seeds, crushed in a mortar
1 thyme sprig, leaves only
1 rosemary sprig, leaves only
0.5 tsp dried red chilly flakes
1 or 2 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
Place the drained olives into a bowl, add the rest of the ingredients and stir.
Leave to macerate for at least couple of hours before serving.

I love marinated olives! And yes, you can get a much yummier (and so much cheaper!) version making your own instead of the store-bought marinated ones! I like mine like this too...with garlic and coriander seed :)

Never marinated an olive in my life, obviously, but oh, what a pang it gave me to see those photos of Campo Real olives...
I´ll be trying this when I feel homesick.

Your recipe seems delicious. I'm Portuguese and we use olives all the time - they're very cheap. Usually I use crushed garlic, a tbs of oregano, a litle olive oil and a sprinkle of salt. They can be kept like this for a long time. Just give them a stir now and then.
I love your blog.

I just came across your food blog....and as someone who studied (and ate) in the former Soviet Union for 7 years I really loved it.....in addition to all the other ethnic cuisines that you cover.
Great job!
P.S. will try out the estonian shashlyk next
- 10:45 pm, August 25, 2011
I´am an estonian living in Portugal and as Aurora said before, we/they eat lot of olives. One of the most simple way to make olives little more interesting without marinating them, is to use black unstoned olives and add some finely chopped garlic, fresh coriander and olive oil. This is the mild and fresh version and I could eat a bowl of them :)
