DeRosa to retire after 16 big league seasons
TORONTO -- Veteran infielder Mark DeRosa has informed the Blue Jays that he has decided to retire after 16 years in the Major Leagues.
Toronto recently picked up its $750,000 club option on DeRosa's contract for next season, but his status had been in limbo for the past several weeks.
DeRosa was weighing a return for one more year, but he previously talked at length about wanting to spend more time with his family. It would appear as though that desire ultimately won out.
"I walk away with tons of friends, hopefully the respect of my peers, tons of memories, and proud of the fact that I was able to compete at the highest level in my profession for a long time," DeRosa said at the end of the season. "Something not a lot of guys were able to do. So I hold my head high."
DeRosa had been plagued by a severe wrist injury for the past several years, but he found a way to remain healthy while with the Blue Jays in 2013. He hit .235 with seven homers, 36 RBIs and a respectable .733 OPS. DeRosa was especially valuable against left-handed pitchers, and his presence in the Blue Jays' clubhouse will be sorely missed.
The 38-year-old played for eight organizations and finishes his career with a .268 average and 494 RBIs. His final home run -- No. 100 for his career -- came on July 27 against Houston's Dallas Keuchel. He never made an All-Star team but was considered a very professional hitter who had a lot of versatility in the field.
DeRosa likely won't have much difficulty finding work now that his playing days are over. He would be a natural choice as a future broadcaster (after working on TBS' telecasts this past postseason), while multiple organizations would be interested in his services as a coach considering his ability to connect with -- and mentor -- younger players.
"I'm happy with what I've done in my career," DeRosa said. "I'm not 100 percent happy with the way I've played this year, but I did a lot of good things. I've proved a lot of things to myself, which is what I wanted to do.
"I'm 38 years old and I can come back from a traumatic injury -- after three years of being unproductive, I helped us win some ballgames. So I'm proud for the fact that I didn't walk away, that I grinded through what was a tough situation for a couple of years and was able to reestablish myself as a pretty good ballplayer."
DeRosa exceeded a lot of expectations during his only season in Toronto. He was brought in as the 25th man on the roster, and one of his main duties was to provide some guidance to young third baseman Brett Lawrie. The two hit it off during Spring Training and were seemingly attached at the hip, but in the end, DeRosa's role proved to be much greater than that.
The former seventh-round pick in the 1996 First-Year Player Draft received some starts at second base and third because of injuries, and he also proved to be a solid platoon partner with designated hitter Adam Lind. Perhaps most shocking was that DeRosa ended up starting as the cleanup hitter in eight games, a testament to his resurgence in power that stemmed from a healthy wrist.
"It's just affirmation for me that I put in a lot of time and effort," DeRosa said. "I was hurt. I knew I was hurt. I knew I couldn't compete at this level for a while. So to be able to come back and for everything to settle, I feel like it's a positive year.
"I think it would have been a very easy decision if I was sitting here in agony all year. I think it makes it tougher, because I think I'm still capable of playing at this level."
DeRosa's decision doesn't exactly come as a surprise, but it does mean the Blue Jays are now officially in the market for another bench player. The club will need to find a suitable platoon partner for Lind, who has struggled against left-handed pitching throughout his career.
One possible solution is having outfielder Moises Sierra make the transition to first base. Sierra is out of options on his contract and recently began taking ground balls at first in winter ball, in an effort to increase his overall versatility.
With Lind and Edwin Encarnacion on the 25-man roster, Sierra wouldn't have to play a lot of first base, but he will still need to prove he can handle the position when required. Sierra's defense in the outfield is erratic, and his inability to play center field means the club likely will have to carry a more traditional fourth outfielder.

Alternative Tentacles Records was established in June of 1979 and is most likely the longest lasting (and still active) underground record labels around. Although it is perceived by many as a "punk" label, having released records by Dead Kennedys and others, it is actually best known for its impact on the world of underground culture.
In the early years the label gained international attention by introducing the world to artists such as : Dead Kennedys, Butthole Surfers, D.O.A., 7 Seconds, Winston Smith, NoMeansNo, Neurosis and Voice Farm. The label has continued to remain vital in its lengthy history by refusing to adhere to a formula for an easily identifiable 'Alternative Tentacles Sound.' Rather, the label has released many political spoken word releases; as well as releasing: Brazilian hardcore, bent pop, faux-country, twisted twang, and assorted rock & roll. Of late, the label is also known for its "Re-Issues Of Necessity Series".
The label is also well known due to its outspoken provocateur owner, talent scout and recording artist, Jello Biafra. Many may recall his run for mayor of San Francisco in 1979 at the age of 21; as well as his trial for "distributing harmful matter" - which stemmed from including an H.R. Giger poster in a Dead Kennedy's album; to his 2000 nomination as Green party candidate for President of the United States. Since the parting of Dead Kennedys, Jello has released many spoken word releases as well as collaborating with other musicians and bands such as DOA, Nomeansno, Mojo Nixon, and stand-alone projects like Tumor Circus (with Steelpole Bathtub), No WTO Combo (with Krist Novoselic), Lard (with Al Jourgensen), Jello Biafra with the Melvins, and his latest project with members of Victim's Family, Faith No More, and Sharkbait!
Alternative Tentacles Records employs two people in Emeryville , California. (The label has always been based in San Francisco, but in October 2002 the label moved here.) The company is a sole proprietorship owned by Jello Biafra. Aside from being a label, it is also a mailorder company selling its own wares, as well as a ton of underground t-shirts, books, dvds, music, and other merchandise.

A few weeks back, Brad and I planned this little last-minute weekend getaway to the Great Smoky Mountains.
Talk about a much-needed vacation... We had such a great time. We rented the cutest cabin in Pigeon Forge with the most AMAZING view ever, ate at some great restaurants there and in Gatlinburg, and just had the best couple of days spending lots of time with each other.
We had such an amazing time that I wanted to share a little vlog we filmed as well as some of our pictures. Mainly because I want to show-off the amazing pictures my new Canon S95 takes. It's seriously amazing. Since the focus is rather loud, I don't film with it, so the vlog was filmed with my same camera I've used for years (for photos and videos), my Sony Cybershot DSC W290. Which I don't recommend for photos. But I'm planning on getting a new video camera soon so wooohooooo!
Anyway, back to the Canon S95... it's awesome.
Here's a little look at our trip!
Awesome Bear hat.
We brought a picnic up the mountain to this quiet (and very cold) spot...
...which also happened to be labeled as a "bear habitat". Seriously. A bear habitat picnic area.
Brad got creative with the picture-taking.
After taking this, I realized I was standing in poison ivy.
Note: Burn boots.
...next he says "Lets do one on the log."
When I tried to mount the log, things got awkward...
He meant the camera goes on the log.
Obviously... I knew that. :/
"hmmmm.... How to make this small stream slightly dangerous...."
"...stand on a rock." Not super dangerous, but seriously... What is it about guys that makes them want to jump on every rock they see near water?

No big splash, but Rangers appear on verge
By T.R. Sullivan / 12/06/12 3:41 PM ET
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Rangers tried to sign outfielder free agent Josh Hamilton and pitcher Zack Greinke. They talked to the Mets about pitcher R.A. Dickey, they have interest in Rays pitcher James Shields and they were in the middle of a blizzard of rumors involving a multiple-team trade with the D-backs that would bring back outfielder Justin Upton.
They also talked to the Phillies about trading Michael Young. In what is becoming a biennial event with the Rangers, their seven-time All-Star infielder and club leader in most offensive career categories is once again in the middle of serious trade discussions. This one may just need his approval in waiving his no-trade rights to go to Philadelphia.
So while the Rangers did not make any major announcements at the Winter Meetings, they were certainly stirring up the rumors and at least appearing to be on the brink of doing something big.
That seems to be only a matter of time, and most baseball people at the Winter Meetings believe the Rangers will land at least one of the two big free-agent prizes, either Hamilton or Greinke. A deal for one or the other could come over the weekend or sometime next week.
"We're discussing a number of things," general manager Jon Daniels said. "We were hoping to push some things across the finish line. It didn't happen. We didn't push anything across the finish line, but I think we will soon."
The Rangers did bring home a trophy. They were named the 2012 Topps Organization of the Year for the first time in the 47-year history of the award. Texas also signed four players to Minor League contracts, including former Pirates All-Star reliever Evan Meek, and the club took reliever Coty Woods in the Rule 5 Draft.
But the big splash didn't happen. The Rangers wait on Hamilton and Greinke. If they sign Hamilton then maybe they don't have to make a big push for Upton. If they sign Greinke, then trading for a starting pitcher won't make much sense.
"We have an idea of what we want the team to look like," Daniels said. "A couple of big decisions will impact that direction. Some of that is up to us and some of it is up to the guys across the table."
Waiting on Greinke and Hamilton kept the Rangers from being more aggressive on reliever Koji Uehara, who agreed to a one-year contract with the Red Sox on Thursday. The Rangers made one proposal to Uehara, but then signed Joakim Soria to a two-year deal on Tuesday. The Rangers still want to add other relievers, but now they are waiting to see what happens with Hamilton and Greinke before they move on any other pitchers.
Daniels said he hasn't talked to Hamilton's agent Mike Moye since their meeting on Tuesday night, but he said he expects to in the next couple of days. There may be a big splash coming soon to the Ballpark in Arlington.
Deals done: The Rangers announced Thursday they have signed four players to Minor League contracts: first baseman Brandon Allen and pitchers Jacob Brigham, Evan Meek and Randy Wells.
Allen played in 10 games for the Rays and Athletics last year and has played in 116 Major Leagues in 2009-12, hitting .203 with 12 home runs, 41 RBIs and a .375 slugging percentage in 389 plate appearances.
Meek, a right-handed reliever, had a 6.75 ERA in 12 games for the Pirates last season and is 7-7 with a 3.34 ERA in 156 career games from 2008-12. He had a 2.14 ERA in 70 games for the Pirates in 2010 and was selected to the National League All-Star team before coming down with shoulder tendinitis the following season.
Wells, another right-hander, was 1-2 with a 5.34 ERA in 12 games for the Cubs in 2012 and is 28-32 with a 5.34 ERA in 98 games, including 86 starts, over his five-year Major League career.
Brigham was re-signed to a Minor League contract after being non-tendered last week. He was 5-7 with a 4.72 ERA in 23 starts at Double-A this past season. The Rangers traded him to the Cubs for catcher Geovany Soto on July 30 and re-acquired him last month.
Rule 5 activity: The Rangers acquired sidearming right-hander Woods from the Rockies. He will compete for a spot in the Rangers' bullpen. Texas also lost first baseman Chris McGuiness, who was drafted by the Indians, and third baseman Tommy Mendonca, who was selected by the A's.
Goals accomplished: The Rangers re-signed Soto and reinforced their bullpen by signing Soria to a two-year deal. But Soria is still recovering from Tommy John surgery and probably won't be ready until May.
Unfinished business: Hamilton and Greinke. Almost everything else waits on them.
Team's bottom line: "We want to make deals. We don't want to sit here and just talk about making deals. It just hasn't happened." -- Daniels.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by the holiday rush — too swamped, even, to spend an afternoon reading those books you got for Christmas, we have some recommendations for you — but these are audiobooks, so you can listen while you multitask.
Robin Whitten is the editor and founder of AudioFile magazine. Her list of the year's best audiobooks begins with a selection that might while away the hours on a long family road trip. "Toothiana is one of William Joyce's books that's in the Guardians of Childhood series," she tells NPR's David Greene. "He has the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny and St. Nicholas, who all become superheroes through these various books."
"It is so inventive and imaginative, and it's great for storytelling," she adds. And that storytelling quality is part of what makes a good audiobook. "Oftentimes, episodic stories and mysteries ... in fiction, it's easier to see how audiobooks and the audio medium work."
There is a nonfiction selection on Whitten's list: Jon Meacham's Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power, which chronicles the third president's life in an immersive style reminiscent of good fiction. Whitten adds that the book also benefits from the voice of a good reader. "You can be that involved [with the book] as you see the words on the page, but in audio, the narrator helps place you there."
Some audiobooks have celebrity narrators — for example, Colin Firth can be heard reading The End of the Affair by Graham Greene. "For a lot of people who've never really considered or been interested in an audiobook, they think, 'Oh, I love Colin Firth, I love his voice' ... and so they may try something," Whitten says. "And they also may not really know who Graham Greene is ... but they're attracted to it, so they're going to give it a try." Firth's voice is beautiful, she adds, "and he has a really special way of being inside the story, which is actually a personal, I think, a personal favorite of his ... it's in your head, as if he's telling just you."

As we approach the end of the year, we've been asking people for their best of 2012 lists. Let's turn to some books you may have missed. You should think about giving them a listen.
We're talking about audiobooks. Robin Whitten reviews them. She's editor and founder of AudioFile magazine, and she brought in some favorites.
Robin Whitten, welcome to the program.
ROBIN WHITTEN: Thank you, David. Glad to be here.
GREENE: Well, let's get right to one of the books on your list and it's called "Toothiana" by William Joyce. Is that right?
WHITTEN: Yes, it is. What a great name.
GREENE: Yeah, I like it. Let's give a listen.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #1: (Reading) Patter and Fog, feeling wild and industrious, catapulted themselves to the hollow of a tall tree where they had erected a hideout devoted to solving ancient mysteries. Such as: why was there such a thing as bedtime and what could they do to eliminate it forever.
GREENE: It's a - sounds like this might be a good book for listening on a family road trip. What's the story here?
WHITTEN: Oh, this is fantastic. Well, "Toothiana" is one of William Joyce's books that's in "The Guardians of Childhood" series. And he has the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, and St. Nicholas who all become superheroes through these various books.
GREENE: A-ha.
WHITTEN: And they are the guardians of childhood and of dreams, in particular - good dreams.
GREENE: What qualities really make it clear that a book is just perfect for audio?
WHITTEN: Well, oftentimes, episodic stories and mysteries. You know, mostly, you know, in fiction it's easier to see how audio books and the audio medium work.
GREENE: And, Robin, when you do have a sample of nonfiction on your list. It's a book called "The Art of Power." It's about Thomas Jefferson. Let's give a listen to that.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #2: (Reading) At age 10, Thomas was sent into the woods alone with a gun. The assignment, the expectation, was that he was to come home with evidence that he could survive on his own in the wild.
(Reading) The test did not begin well. He killed nothing, had nothing to show for himself. The woods were forbidding. Everything around the boy - the trees and the thickets and the rocks and the river - was frightening and frustrating. He refused to give up or give in. He soldiered on until his luck finally changed.
(Reading) Finding a wild turkey caught in a pen, the family story went, he tied it with his garter to a tree, shot it, and carried it home in triumph.
GREENE: You know, it really is - it's nonfiction, but it's almost told in a kind of fiction-style way. You kind of get into the scene and feel, you know, you're imagining yourself there.
WHITTEN: Right, and I think that the author, you know, wanted us to do that. And so, you know, some readers do that naturally. And you can be that involved as you see the words on the page. But in audio, you know, the narrator helps place you there in the woods.
GREENE: You know, one question I have, some of these audio books they bring in celebrities to do the reading. Like Colin Firth is reading "The End of the Affair," a book by Graham Greene. How do you think - I mean, a good idea to have a famous voice?
WHITTEN: Well, I think that what is quite exciting about that is for a lot of people who've never really considered or been interested in an audio book, they think, oh, I love Colin Firth. I love his voice.
GREENE: From the screen, yeah.
WHITTEN: From the screen, and so they may try something. And they also may not really know who Graham Greene is or ever, you know, encountered this book, but they're attracted to it so they're going to give it a try. And, you know, Colin Firth's voice is beautiful and he has a really special way of, you know, being inside the story, which is actually a personal favorite of his.
COLIN FIRTH: (Reading) I said Henry, Holmes is a stranger. And so his eyes light up as though we were old friends. Bendrix, he said with affection, and yet the world would have said he had the reasons for hate. Not me.
WHITTEN: And he brings across some of the interesting intimacy that the audio book medium is really known for. Because the book is so intimate and, you know, it's really - it's in your head, as if he's telling just you.
GREENE: Well, Robin Whitten, thank you so much for joining us to talk about this.
WHITTEN: Thank you, David. It was great.

Comments about Mens Brooks Versatile Singlets Technical Tops:
This singlet is great! Near naked feel, perfect for hot weather! The sprinklers were on at practice today, i ran through them twice and my shirt dried in no time. In no way does the singlet inhibit movement, theres no chafing, just silky lightness! Another thing i like is that the shirt does ride up in the armpit area, which is a major plus! I've tried an asics singlet, a nike singlet, and another similar brooks singlet, and i believe i like this one better!

Compilation on Linux
Each time Stellarium is released, the sourcecode is released in Sourceforge's packaging system. Building sourcecode that is released in this way should give you a working copy of Stellarium which is functionally identical to the binaries for that release.
It is also possible to get the "in development" sourcecode using Bazaar. This may contain new features which have been implemented since the last release of Stellarium, so it's often more fun. Warning: Bazaar versions of the Stellarium sourcecode are work in progress, and as such may produce an unstable program, may not work at all, or may not even compile.
If you're new to the command line, you might also find this page interesting.
First make sure all build dependencies are installed on your system.
We now use CMake instead of automake/autoconf. A common problem is that you don't have a recent enough version of CMake. Make sure you have the version specified in the build dependencies page (the error which is seen if you have an old version of CMake is something to do with curl).
If you have both QT version 4 development tools and QT version 3 development tools installed on your system, make sure the commands for moc, uic and so on point at the QT4 versions. Ubuntu/Debian users might want to use this script to swap between them.
Extract the tarball containing the source code. Open a terminal and cd to the directory where you wish to build Stellarium. Save the tarball to that directory and do this command in a terminal (if you prefer, you might use arK or some other graphical archive tool):
$ tar zxf stellarium-0.10.6.tar.gz
You should now have a directory stellarium-0.10.6 with the source code in it.
- In a terminal and change into the source directory:
cd stellarium-0.10.6
- Make the build directory and change into it
mkdir -p builds/unix cd builds/unix
- Configure the build using CMake:
cmake ../..
By default this will configure Stellarium to be installed in the /usr/local area. If you want another location, use this option to cmake, e.g.:
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/stellarium ../..
- Run make
- Install the program (as root if necessary)
make install
That's it. You should now have Stellarium built and installed. Build takes about five minutes on a P4 1.7Ghz/512 Mb.
Creating source package
After building of Stellarium you can create a source package for distributions:
make package_source
Creating binary packages
After building of Stellarium you can create a binary packages for distributions.
- After building of source code (simple binary package):
make package
- After building of TGZ binary package (Note: a building recommended with -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr):
cpack -G RPM
- After building of TGZ binary package (Note: a building recommended with -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr):
cpack -G DEB
Bazaar (development) version
First, make sure you have all the Build Dependencies installed.
Getting the sourcecode
Execute these commands:
bzr checkout lp:stellarium
or if you do not intend to change any source code (quicker):
bzr checkout --lightweight lp:stellarium
This will create the directory stellarium which contains the source code.
Building the source
- Change into the stellarium directory which was created by the bzr command above
cd stellarium
- Make a builds/unix directory and change into it:
mkdir -p builds/unix cd builds/unix
By default this will configure Stellarium to be installed in the /usr/local/ area. If this is OK, run CMake like this:
cmake ../..
or, if you would prefer to specify an alternative installation prefix, select it like this
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/mylocation/ ../..
- Now build using make:
- To run Stellarium from the source tree, change back to the root of the source tree, and call the binary like this:
cd ../.. builds/unix/src/stellarium
- If you want to run from the stellarium folder without using the terminal copy the stellarium binary from builds/unix/src to the stellarium folder. Then a click on the binary will start stellarium.
- If you want to install the program, from the builds/unix directory enter this command (as root if necessary):
make install
Updating BZR
If you have previously built the BZR code, but want to see what changes have been made since you did that, just cd into the stellarium directory and use the command:
bzr up
This will download just the changes which were made since you last retrieved files from the repository. Often, all that will be required is to build from the make stage, but if there are new files you will need to build from the CMake stage.
If you modify any files, bazaar will attempt to merge new updates with your changed files. This can lead to build problems, and you may want to revert your changes before updating. To revert such local edits, from the stellarium directory, do this before the update:
bzr status
And for all files which are listed under modified:, do
bzr revert filename filesname2 ...
Enabling Sound Support
Stellarium's sound support is a compile time option. To use sound in Stellarium you need to have a version of QT which supports the Phonon audio system. You also need a recent version of CMake.
Sound support is controlled by the CMake option ENABLE_SOUND. You can change this setting using ccmake, by editing the CMakeCache.txt file, or by supplying the -DENABLE_SOUND=1 option when you first run CMake.
NOTE: In Ubuntu 9.10 you should install the libqt4-phonon-dev package, but NOT the libphonon-dev package.
Current Build Issues
Note that the development code is a work in progress, and as such, please don't expect it to build straight off the bat. Often it will be fine, but sometimes the build will be broken.
If the build seems to be broken for extended periods, try a thorough clean of the build directory (i.e. remove builds/unix), and start from the beginning. Check there are no new dependencies which you are missing. If you still have trouble, post to the forums or stellarium-pubdevel mailing list.
2009-03-10: CMake's detection of Phonon for audio support is not working properly right now. It is necessary to hack up the CMakeLists.txt file to gt it working. I'm working on it. -Matthew

That situation led to what's turned out to be a controversial decision with our awards. To open up the fields and better recognize the breadth of great games this year, I suggested we separate the console platforms. In this generation, "exclusives" are thought of in terms of whether they are on PS3 or 360, and multiplatform developed for both. So that's how the awards are broken up. As part of that, Mass Effect 2 and Splinter Cell: Conviction received consideration as 360 "exclusive" games though they also appear on PC.
Some have inferred from this that PC isn't being taken seriously. This is not the case. The method of dividing up the titles merely reflects the competitive landscape of the video game industry. However, to be completely up front, it was an oversight not to include Mass Effect 2 in the PC category nominations. We have a lot of exciting games to look forward to in 2011 and regardless of what you play them on--PC, 360, PS3, Wii, DS, 3DS, PSP, iPhone, Android, or whatever--Shacknews will be in the thick of them, playing everything we can get our hands on and telling you about them.

I sincerely thought things were going to be different.
Benny, IC, a couple other buddies and I all arrived from various points in Columbus Friday evening. Staying on the north side of town, we checked into our hotel then went to a nearby sports bar/restaurant to grab a bite. We all were decked out in our Michigan gear and entered to find a sea of red. When we first walked in, we got a bunch of...looks. They were about as welcoming as those Eddie Murphy got when he entered that redneck bar in "48 HRS." I feared our reception would be the same.
Instead, many Buckeye fans came up to us and offered their condolences about Bo's passing that day and asked how we were being treated. The friendliness was even better than I could have imagined.
Leading up to the game, we had heard much about Ohio State university officials trying to change their fans' well-deserved reputation for, to put it bluntly, poor sportsmanship...and worse. Needless to say, for selfish self-preservation reasons, I sure hoped so.
As we left the restaurant that night to return to our hotel, I joked to Benny I hadn't heard a single "Fuck Michigan" the entire night. Maybe things were going to be different.
Boy was I wrong.
Driving to the stadium around 10 a.m. Saturday morning on High Street, pre-game traffic slowed to a crawl approaching Lane Avenue. Suddenly it started -- "Fuck Michigan!"
Outside our window as we drove in the right hand lane, Buckeye fans who appeared to mostly be around college age had either spotted the Michigan plates on our car, our maize and blue clothing or both. As we continued on at a snails pace, turning right on Lane Avenue, the verbal barrage continued from the passing fans, usually variations of "Fuck Michigan!" (often accompanied by a prominently displayed finger), "Faggots!" and/or various suggestions about sucking cock, and even a girl in front of an apartment building on Lane Ave, just west of High Street, who shouted at us over a megaphone saying, "Chad Henne has a small penis and so do you!" (Note: While she may be right, there's no way she could have possibly known this as we were still sitting in the car).
With traffic barely moving and the "Fuck Michigans!" (among other "greetings") coming at a steady clip (and not exactly sure what parking options lay ahead), we turned right and circled back to a business that had valet parking and assured us we could get right out at the end of the game. Our mistake (we would later learn) is that we were right near High Street and Lane Avenue, so no matter what the guy said, it wouldn't really matter much in a few hours.
After parking, we walked up Lane Avenue towards the Fawcett Center where the official Michigan Alumni Tailgate was. Folks, it's no exaggeration to say that every ten feet, we were met with cries of "Fuck Michigan!" and flipping us off as well as the seemingly-just-as-popular "Fags!," including one classy fellow who, walking past, simply pointed and said to each of us, "Fag...fag...fag...fag..." right on down the line.
Even more surprising, considering the OSU administration's stated goal of cleaning up the gameday experience were all the vendors lining Lane Avenue who were selling every conceivable variation of "Fuck Michigan!" t-shirts. I'm not talking about some guy secretly selling stuff out of a duffel bag but full-on tables and displays as shown in the pictures below. Did they have vendor permits from the University or the city? Who knows. Yet even if they did, I'm guessing Nike and Budweiser wouldn't appreciate their logos used as they were.
Passing the t-shirt merchants, somewhere around the Holiday Inn on Lane (or just past it), a group of Buckeye fans (again, college age or just older) on the other side of a fence at some party (not Hineygate) started in with the usual "Fuck Michigan" calls. That's when I felt something hit my jacket. I looked down to see what I thought was a piece of ice, until I looked at the white all over the arm of my jacket and realized it was a powdered donut. Another had just missed my friend.
Now I was pissed. This was complete bullshit. No opposing fan expects to have a welcome mat rolled out on the road, but when one starts getting pelted, coupled with the absolutely vulgar verbal barrage the last couple of blocks, it's just too much. Problem was, I hadn't seen a single cop during our walk down Lane Avenue. I had seen some at the intersection of Lane and High Street but none as we walked along. Finally, nearing the bridge on Lane avenue, I saw a group of seven or eight standing around talking. Not out among the crowd as the bulk of the folks were clustered closer to the Holiday Inn and Hineygate.
I approached an officer and told him some asshole was throwing shit. He asked if I knew who it was, I said yes and pointed. He said, "That group of guys behind the fence?" Yep. To which he said something along the lines of, "Ok, I'll go watch them" and walked over to "stake out" the scene.
By now, my gameday experience was pretty sullied (even before we passed the guy on our way back from the Fawcett who, seeing us, grabbed his neck and said, "What's that choking sound? It's Bo"). There's good natured trash talk (which I don't mind and even expect), then there's what we experienced in Columbus. And no fan of any school at any stadium in America should have to put up with it.
The ironic thing is, many of the older Buckeye fans approached us asking how we were being treated or wishing us luck. In the handful of times I've been to the 'Shoe, this had never happened before. I even had a girl and her friend who just witnessed the latest volley of "Fuck Michigans" shouted our way as we walked along say she was sorry, adding, "We're not all assholes like that."
While both appreciated and obviously very true, the sheer volume of abuse was about equal to the number of friendly comments we received. Thus, such bad treatment can't simply be written off to "a few bad apples" as, based on the similar numbers of positive and negative incidents Saturday, that would then make the many Buckeye fans who were great to us just "a few good apples." No, the problem portion of the fan base in Columbus is much, much bigger than that. Even more surprising to us was the fact that, probably 60% of the "Fuck Michigans!" hurled at our group came from college-aged girls (many with matching "Fuck Michigan" shirts).
But all the above just made me (very) mad. After the game was scary.
We left when Michigan failed to recover the onside kick with about two minutes left, hoping to beat the crowd and the raucous celebration we knew was coming. We decided to cut in a diagonal line toward High Street before heading north toward Lane Avenue.
For most of the way, we were ahead of the crowd. Then we reached the corner of Lane Avenue and High Street.
The crowd was growing by the second. People were streaming out from everywhere. Spotting a group of Michigan fans, we became the targets of every imaginable insult. Of course by now I was used to the "Fuck Michigans" I'd heard all day. But there was an edge to it all now. People were getting right in our faces now even more than before. The entire area was a tinderbox. Unfortunately, our Michigan clothing was like a flame to moths. Drunk, excited moths. Hundreds, if not thousands, of them.
But we pressed on, just keeping our heads down. Not wanting to provoke anyone (or provoke them anymore than Michigan's school colors apparently already do). Making it to our car, we jumped in, took off all our Michigan clothing and started to head back to our hotel, narrowly avoiding getting trapped on a side street in the neighborhood behind High Street and Lane Avenue (visions of that alleyway scene in CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER dancing in my head). And it's a good thing too as, no matter what OSU President Karen A. Holbrook says, things turned ugly with some 40 fires being set, 38 arrests and a car was flipped over by "fans."
Back at our hotel, we talked more about our treatment than the game. We were more upset about the abuse we endured from the moment we got near the 'Shoe than our team just losing to it's arch-rival. We also marveled at how, in the frenzy of the post-game "celebration," we heard way more "Fuck Michigan!" cries than "Go Bucks!" cheers. We never once heard anybody singing the OSU fight song but instead heard "Don't give a damn about the whole state of Michigan" numerous times.
That, in a nutshell, sums up what I believe to be one of the big problems that fuels the unacceptable behavior in Columbus -- it's not "Pro-OSU," it's "anti-Michigan." It's not "we're good" it's "you suck."
Doubt me? Check out Buckeyextra, the Ohio State football coverage of the Columbus Dispatch. The team just won the Big 10 and clinched a trip to the BCS title game yet what does it say in the upper left corner of the page -- Days since Michigan's last victory over Ohio State in football: 1094. Not 49 days or whatever it is until Ohio State plays for the National Title. Not congratulations team. Not way to go! Nope. Anti-Michigan.
And I wish I could say I was the only one. But I ran into Michigan fans on the way home who told similar tales. Which is why I find the Buckeye President's claim that the OSU fans were so good and there were no problems laughable (more about that in the post below).
And which is also why I might not go back to Columbus for a game. Because if Saturday was good, I'd hate to see bad.
NOTE: We'd love to hear about the experiences of other Michigan fans in Columbus last weekend. Drop us an email. Most importantly, let us know if you wore Michigan clothing around the stadium. I talked to one friend who said it wasn't that bad for him in Ohio. Then I asked what he wore. His answer? A red jacket.

Since I don't always do OOTD posts for each and every outfit on my blog, but I regularly post them on Instagram, I figured I would designate Wednesdays to OOTD Dump posts. Hump Day, Dump Day.
...yeah, I won't say that again. I mean, at least I didn't call the post that. Hump is another one of those words that always sound inappropriate.
Ok, mind out of the gutter, Tiffany.
Hopefully these types of posts will be helpful and interesting because everything is in one place: Photos, outfit details, ideas for where to wear it, where I wore it, and more interesting tid-bits.
This one contains photos not just from this week since this is the start of this whole series. For the following OOTD posts, I'll stick to just the particular week. No, the photos aren't always going to look super professional or all the same. Most photos are taken from my iPhone when I post to Instagram. Just keeping it real.
Occasionally, if I feel like it, I still may do a post on just one outfit here and there, but I'll still do these little collective posts once a week or every few weeks. Whichever makes most sense for the particular time. Some weeks may have more, some may have less. Just depends on how many looks I photograph.
Here are some of my recent OOTD photos I've recently posted on Instagram with alllll of their details.
I LOVE shoulder cut-outs. This top is silky, amazing, and versatile.
You guys may notice I wear A LOT of 7 For All Mankind... Well, the truth is I have a hard time finding pants to fit me and theirs never disappoints. My issue is that I have curves (ahem, hips and a rear), yet I wear a smaller size. The majority of pants I try on in the size I need don't fit me in the waist or behind. Or, if I get a size that fits those areas, they're baggy everywhere else. 7FAM seems to have a curvier cut and I like it. It's funny how different brands are cut totally differently. The problem is, they can be pricey. Every pair shown in this post were purchased from Hautelook or other similar sites. They do 7FAM sales often, so I just make sure to shop those when there's something particular I'm looking for.

Sha-Rok's thread in the Hot Topics Forum inspired me to start this thread. The golden age of House Music was in the mid-80's to early 90's but great house music is still being produced. I'm not talking about a remix from the latest pop sensation but music made specifically for clubs from the start.
Let's go back to 1986

With that house music
U cant go wrong
Gimme that house music

This guide teaches you how to jailbreak your iPhone 2G/3G (NOT 3GS) on the 3.0 firmware using Pwnage Tool 3.0 by the iPhone Dev Team. ONLY WORKS FOR OS X.
You can unlock your iPhone 3G AFTER following this guide by using UltraSn0w. Directions on that are here. If you want to unlock your iPhone 2G while Jailbreaking follow this guide. Anyways, lets continue.
Before getting started, you'll need to download a few things:
Pwnage Tool 3.0 - MMi Member Download | RapidShare | torrent
3.0 iPhone Firmware iPhone 3G Direct from Apple (iPhone 2G Firmware is here)
Note: Safari does not download the .ipsw files correctly - it decompresses them as soon as they're downloaded. We don't want that. Use Firefox to download the .ipsw, not Safari. Or you can ctrl+click the decompressed folder & click the compress button.
Alright, now that you've downloaded all that, lets continue.
Connect your iPhone to iTunes.
I recommend you sync up first so you get your contacts, photos, mail, etc current.
Note: restoring will remove any and all Jailbreak app settings and WinterBoard themes. bhz has a decent guide on how to back all that up here if you'd like. Otherwise, you can just redownload them.
Once you've downloaded the 3.0 firmware and placed it anywhere (I just put mine on my desktop) (or in your Applications folder) you can open Pwnage Tool by double-clicking the icon.
You may have OS X ask you about opening an app from the internet, don't worry about it - click Open.
Hit OK on the Copyright screen that pops up.
Since we're going to be jailbreaking our 3G iPhone, click that image on the left so the green checkbox comes up, and the hit the blue arrow button in the bottom right to move on.
On the next screen, Pwnage Tool will look for the 3.0 .ipsw file. It should find it automatically (again, mine was on my desktop), and list it there. It will take about a minute to find it. Click it and hit the blue arrow in the bottom right to move on.
Note: If you want a larger main partition (for installing Cydia apps and themes, etc), click the Expert mode and then the General icon, and increase your parition size.
Pwnage Tool will then let you know its going to create an .ipsw file.
Next, you'll be asked if you have a contract that would activate normally through iTunes - this is AT&T only in the US, or any other carrier outside the US that is a legit iPhone carrier who you bought the iPhone through. ''IF'' you have a legit contract with iTunes (e.g, you have AT&T or an approved iPhone carrier in another country) - say yes.
Once you've answered those q's, Pwnage Tool will begin creating your .ipsw. This screen should be up around 5 minutes or so.
Halfway through the creation of the .ipsw, OS X will ask you for your password. This is required for Pwnage Tool to build the custom firmware, go ahead and input your password and hit OK.
Pwnage Tool will ask if your iPhone has been previously pwned (and still is). If you aren't sure, just hit No, that's fine. If you know for sure its been pwned and still is, hit Yes, but make sure it really is.
Once complete, Pwnage Tool will let you know to quit Pwnage Tool, put your iPhone in Recovery mode (OR DFU MODE if you've never pwned), start iTunes, and restore with the custom firmware bundle it just created.
Now, pull up iTunes. You should see the following message:
Hit OK. Now, this is important - where it says Restore in iTunes, hold down the ''option'' key on your keyboard and press ''Restore'' in iTunes while holding it down.
Note: Its very important you hold down the option key while pressing Restore. Don't forget that.
Assuming you did that correctly, a window should pop up asking you which .ipsw file you'd like to restore from. Select the one we just created with Pwnage Tool. If you left it default, it should be sitting on your desktop and be named iPhone1,2_3.0_7A341_Custom_Restore.ipsw or something similar. Hit Open.
iTunes will now run through its typical flurry of windows and notifications while updating the firmware.
During this time, you'll see the nifty new progress bar on your iPhone as it restores.
If everything went correctly, you'll see the window stating your iPhone was restored to factory settings (heh, not quite, iTunes , and you can then hit OK.
Wait for iTunes to see the iPhone before disconnecting.
If you'd like, you can now restore from the backup you made of your iPhone before, to get all your contacts, mail accounts, and photos back. You might wanna clear off some photos/videos/music if you had it near full to make room for AppStore and Cydia apps now.
Congrats! That's it! You're now ready to go on iPhone firmware 3.0.

Ask Marilyn: Excluding a Son From a Generational Family Photo
Lucille Fusco of Westfield, New Jersey, writes:
Marilyn: When my great-granddaughter got married, a four-generation photo was taken of her, her mother (my granddaughter), her grandmother (my daughter) and myself. Now my great-granddaughter is pregnant with a boy. I had assumed that when he was born, a five-generation photo would be taken. However, her mother (my granddaughter) said that there would have been a photo taken only if the baby was a girl. I've never heard of this. Is she right? Isn't my great-great-grandson going to be the fifth generation of my family?
Marilyn responds:
Apparently, they are focused on a four-, then five-generation photo of females, and that's fine, but they shouldn't miss this marvelous opportunity for a darling photo: one of four generations of women—preferably looking very feminine—with an obviously male baby boy. An imaginative photographer could make the result adorable! I do hope you can convince them to have a photo taken and email me a copy. I'd treasure it!

The 2011 Daytime Emmy Awards in Las Vegas will likely forever hold the record as the worse of all time, but this year's ceremony on HLN was bad in its own right.
Let's start with the positives.
Doug Davidson was finally recognized after 35 years on THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS. His speech was wonderful as well.
Heather Tom won again this year and it was especially sweet that she thanked her son, Zane. She was pregnant with him when she won last year.
|Jess Walton and Corbin Bernsen
Kristen Alderson won for her work on GENERAL HOSPITAL and was incredibly enthusiastic and happy (a nice change of pace for the ceremony) even though she seemed to have the farthest distance to walk/run before getting to the stage.
Corbin Bernsen and Jess Walton presented the "In Memoriam" segment with Bernsen dropping "F" and "S" bombs and calling out the on-stage interviews that were happening (more on that below). Jeanne Cooper was remembered not only here but throughout the evening.
|Alex Trebek and Melody Thomas Scott
The Smithsonian presentation was informative and we got a chance to see Melody Thomas Scott on stage.
Betty White presenting one of the Lifetime Achievement Awards (to Bob Stewart) was money in the bank. At age 91, Betty is always flawless.
Carrie Fisher can be a trainwreck but she's always entertaining.
All the Father's Day shoutouts were nice, especially Chandler Massey's with a cut to his dad in the audience.
And now the bad. Where do we start?
|Robin Meade, Sam Champion &A.J. Hammer hosted the ceremony on HLN
The technical crew did not have a good night. Among other things, there were ongoing microphone problems and sound issues.
Those on-stage interviews mentioned above were incredibly awkward and unnecessary. Talk about a bad idea. Other than THE TALK hosts Sheryl Underwood and Julie Chen, the interviewers seemed to have no idea who the winners were. Giada De Laurentiis, who interviewed the Supporting Actor and Actress winners, was the worst. She was so shocked to learn Billy Miller had won an Emmy before, she dropped her own "F" bomb. Just horrible and surely a concept we will never see again.
Nancy Lee Grahn's "on the street" comedy bits were hit and miss. Compared to some of the other problems, they weren't that bad. The segments might have been great commercials for the Emmy telecast or as web additions. But in the context of what is supposed to be a classy awards show and taking time away from possible clips or acceptance speeches, they were not needed.
Speaking of clips, how can we not see anyone's work in an awards show that was only happening to honor the best of Daytime last year? I personally edited 16 montages for this year's Indie Soap Awards, we played them all, and the show still finished on time. The producers of the Daytime Emmys need to remember what they are honoring, and if they truly love Daytime TV, have faith in the audience to appreciate the clips of their favorite shows more than comedy routines, fake weather maps or "witty" banter.
Wayne "I didn't write this crap" Brady managed to insult an honoree again this year. A new Daytime Emmy tradition? For some reason, he just skipped the second half of his Lifetime Achievement Award intro for Monty Hall, carelessly omitting the set-up for a touching montage narrated by Hall's daughter, Joanna Gleason. The winner actually asked him what happened to his daughter's clip, and (at least) Brady confessed that he had messed up. Though he can be entertaining, Brady has a way of falling flat during the Daytime Emmys.
|IL Volo performed during the "In Memoriam" segment
It is nice to have the "In Memoriam" segment back at the Daytime Emmys, despite omissions such as Gene Bua and Virginia Dwyer. Having IL Volo perform was a nice idea, but at least for me, the distraction subtracted from the warm feeling I normally get as the pictures go by.
I now accept that the winners are almost an afterthought at the Daytime Emmys. It's hard to accurately select the "best" with hundreds of episodes airing but only a couple actually reviewed by judges. Also, in some categories, there are barely enough contenders to justify an award of the "most outstanding." Yes, I'm saying we could live without a Best Song if there are only two candidates. Regardles, though I was surprised by some of the winners, I was never shocked.
Those are my first thoughts. What are yours? Did you enjoy this year's Daytime Emmy Awards?

ClamAV Unofficial Signatures Updater is a script that provides a simple way to download, test, and use third-party ClamAV signatures. It checks for updated unofficial clamav signature database files and can download them. It randomizes download time to help distribute the load more evenly for the database host mirror sites. Signature bypass entries can be created for temporarily resolving false-positive issues with third-party signatures. It can report which mirror site a download came from. It reports if a downloaded database is actually different than the running copy. Many other features are supported.
Clement is an email server application. Its main function is to block unwanted mail (spam) as soon as possible in the email exchange process. It accepts or rejects email while the SMTP session, initiated by the email sender, is still pending, accepting legitimate email messages without the need to return an error status to non-existent or "borrowed" return address later. Clement can operate in two modes, either as a standard MTA (as sendmail, Postfix, Exim, Exchange, etc.) to store email in the recipient's own area, or to transmit the mail to an another SMTP server acting as smart spam filtering device. Each email domain name Clement knows about can be treated in one of these two modes depending on the group to which the domain name has been set. Each message is verified by a virus scanner (ClamAV) while the SMTP connection is still open, but the refusal of mail and the reason for refusal is notified to the actual sender. Mail management is done via a Web interface and can be delegated to three administrative levels (Root-Admin, Group-Admin, Domain-Admin). Standard users can access their own logs (sent email status, email rejected, quarantined email, etc.). With this interface, the user can handle the rejection and acceptance of mail. Users who are level "Admin" can access the session logs (via the Web interface). Clement uses a SQL database (PostgreSQL, MySQL) to store and manage logs, user profiles, and dynamic management of directives concerning the sender-receiver relationship.
Using email storage in single folders makes it hard to train DSPAM. Sending email to the email@example.com alias works, but a more user-friendly system is needed. Additionally, since Mozilla Mail (Thunderbird) does a good job with 'Junk', it would be useful to process all user files for 'Junk' in their home directories. This small program grabs the DSPAM signatures of each email in the files provided and feeds them to DSPAM.
ExtraWatch is a real-time counter and live stats module for Joomla!, Wordpress, Drupal, Magento, and Prestashop. It allows you to view information about your visitors and bots in real-time from the administration back-end. It details IP addresses, countries of origin, geographical location, which pages they are viewing, and browser and operating system. It creates daily and all-time stats from these data plus unique, pageload, and total hits statistics. Furthermore, you can block harmful IP addresses, see blocked attempts, evaluate trend charts, and create goals based on many parameters. In the front-end, it displays top countries, and user and visit information for certain periods of time.
Jaro Mail is an integrated suite of interoperable tools for GNU/Linux and Apple/OS X to manage email communication in a private way, without relying on online services (in fact, encouraging users to store email locally). It mainly features a system for mailinglist filtering, address-book integrated whitelisting, strong encryption and anonymous remailing, long-term email storage and archiving with functions for fast search and usage statistics. To accomplish all that, it makes use of solid Unix tools like Mutt, Fetchmail, Mairix, Msmtp, GnuPG, Abook, ELinks, and Mixmaster.
PicoMail is a fast, feature-rich mobile email application for any Java (J2ME, MIDP 2.0) or Symbian cellphone. PicoMail supports easy email account configuration, HTML messages, graphics, attachments, SMS / MMS, cookies, automatic spam filtering, search, hyperlinks, security, and much more. Image support includes GIF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and BMP. Images can be zoomed, viewed in fullsize, saved, sent via SMS / MMS, and analyzed with OCR. POP3, IMAP, and SMTP (secure and non-secure) are supported. Links can be followed within email messages. Word, Excel, WordPerfect, image, Zip, and PDF attachments can be opened. Other features include keyword searching, audio and video playback, contact list importing, and support for Unicode and many other character encodings.
SMS Manager is a replacement for the default messaging application for the Android operating system. It features seperation between the inbox and outbox, a detailed folder view in the inbox (unread, read folders), a detailed folder view in the outbox (sent, draft, undelivered folders), and a spam filter for unwanted senders.
Avelsieve is a Squirrelmail plugin for creating Sieve scripts on a Sieve-compliant (RFC 5228) mail server. Sieve is a mail filtering language intended for server-side filtering of email messages. Avelsieve provides a user-friendly interface for adding and manipulating mail filtering rules.

|I decanted the dressing to a recycled salad dressing bottle and made the tag in an extremely rare, Martha-Stewart-esque moment.
Nava Atlas is certainly one of the most prolific, plantalicious cookbook authors I know. And she's also one of the most gracious people in the vegan community – always there to give an encouraging word to aspiring herbivores, plug other cookbooks, and share her infectious positivity. Oh, and she's a visual artist and also writes non-fiction books, too. [Clearly this woman does not sleep!] Nava's newest cookbook, Wild About Greens, focuses, as you hopefully have deduced from the title, on recipes made with kale, spinach, chard, and the like. Gorgeous photos were shot by the lovely and popular blogger Susan Voisin.
I think this is a simple yet brilliant book concept. I don't know about you, but I am so over the "vegan series" of cookbooks: vegan this, vegan that, and vegan the other [and I am allowed to say this because I wrote The Urban Vegan and Celebrate Vegan]. Using the word "vegan" in a cookbook title is definitely a trend that's past its prime. I love how Nava has chosen to focus on an impossibly broad-yet-narrow area of cuisine. And Nava's 125 recipes give you plenty of inspiration and cover the spectrum from salads to smoothies, and just about everything in between.
|Wild About Greens contains 8, count 'em 8 recipes for Massaged Kale Salads. I made the Kale Salad with Dried Fruits and Nuts.

Recipe: Green Goddess Dressing
As if the book giveaway is not cool enough, Nava has kindly allowed me to reprint her Green Goddess Salad Dressing Recipe. I whipped up a batch this afternoon – it's light and the perfect dressing for summer salads. It looks like pesto, and that made me think it would taste great as a pasta sauce or even atop a baked potato. I'll definitely be making this again...
|I used this dressing over Trader Joe's Healthy 8 Veggie Mix
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup peeled, seeded and chopped cucumber
- 1/2 cup firmly packed fresh parsley
- 2 good handfuls of baby spinach leaves
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons white or red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, or 1 teaspoon dried dill
- Freshly ground pepper to taste

QPR boss Harry Redknapp criticised his players but had no regrets over selection after crashing out of the Capital One Cup at League Two Burton.
Redknapp made nine changes for the second-round tie and paid the price as Adam McGurk secured a 1-0 win for the underdogs with a superb 77th-minute free-kick at the Pirelli Stadium.
The result increased the gloom surrounding promoted Rangers' start to the season after defeats in their opening two Premier League games.
Redknapp said: "It was a poor performance. We gave the lads who haven't been playing an opportunity to show what they can do, and they showed me what they can do - and it wasn't an awful lot.
"We had chances in the first half and I thought we could have gone on to win the game but we faded in the second half and I was disappointed."
Rio Ferdinand, Steven Caulker, Joey Barton and Loic Remy were among the high-profile names given a night off while goalkeeper Robert Green sat on the bench.
Asked if he had any regrets, Redknapp said: "Not at all. We have got a massive game on Saturday (against Sunderland).
"Every team in this cup competition has made changes. Aston Villa have been beaten at home by Leyton Orient, Shrewsbury went to Leicester and won, MK Dons beat Man Utd.
"It is the way the competition has gone. You give lads a chance to play but obviously there are an awful lot of lads at Premier League clubs who are really very lucky to be there."
The only bright spot Redknapp identified was the first-half performance of playmaker Adel Taarabt, who after loans at Fulham and AC Milan was making his first appearance for the club in 16 months.
With the transfer deadline approaching, uncertainty remains over the 25-year-old Moroccan's future.
Redknapp said: "I thought he was different class in the first half. He got a bit tired towards the end but I thought his performance was encouraging. If we can get him fit he is a real asset.
"I don't know what he will do. He has got a buy-out clause but we saw in the first half that the ability he has got is on another level. When he wants to play he is a fantastic talent."
While it was a forgettable night for Rangers, whose best effort was a Junior Hoilett shot against the bar, it was a famous one for relative League newcomers Albion.
The Brewers are unbeaten this season, two points off the top of League Two after four games, and overcame Wigan in the previous round.
Manager Gary Rowett said: "It is absolutely amazing. The players were brilliant in everything they did. We limited them to a few long-range shots and not that many clear-cut chances.
"I thought we played with some really good attacking flair when we broke and counter-attacked, with some real pace and purpose. At times we opened them up quite well.
"We defended amazingly and kept our shape really well. We intercepted things and won balls. Sometimes, cyncially, we made fouls. That doesn't look good but it is part of the game.
"There were some brilliant performances in there and a moment of brilliance from Adam at the end.
"I was really pleased and I think the players, and everyone associated with the club, should be proud of what they have achieved."
