Doppler radar is one of the greatest meteorological advancements in history because it's not only able to see precipitation, but also the direction its going and just how fast it's moving there. Doppler is able to differentiate whether an object is moving toward or away from the radar by using what's called the Doppler Effect. Named after the scientist who discovered it in the 1800's, the Doppler Effect is what happens to the perception of an object if it's moving toward or away from you. Take a freight train for example. You are standing next to railroad tracks as the train is moving toward you. It blows its horn to warn you that it's on its way. It has a very distinct high pitched screech. As the train goes by, it blows its horn again. Now, all of a sudden the horn changes pitch to a lower more muffled screech. This is the Doppler Effect. You get one pitch with the train coming at you and you get a different pitch when the train is moving away. Doppler radar works the exact same way. The Doppler Effect produces velocity data about objects at a distance. It beams a microwave signal towards a desired target (typically precipitation) and "listens" for its reflection. It analyzes how the frequency of the returned signal has been altered by the object's motion and gives that object a color corresponding to the direction it interpreted.
Now that we are all experts on Doppler, it's time to see something cool. The National Weather Service posted a brief video of an event that happened early Saturday morning. See if you can guess what it is. The answer is posted below some come back when you have finished to get an explanation.
Here is the answer that is posted by the National Weather Service…
The location is Mystic Lake Casino where spotlights shine straight up in the air. The bright lights attract bugs, and the bugs attract predators such as bats or maybe birds. The radar beam is likely bending to a lower elevation, and seeing the bats/insects. What's puzzling is the clockwise rotation that is consistent until they all scatter at the end of the video.
The Doppler radar cannot distinguish precipitation from bugs, birds, trees, houses, wind turbines or any other object that it comes in contact with. It is designed to "see" exceedingly tiny objects so there will be times when bugs, birds, and even aircraft will pollute the image that would otherwise signify rain, sleet, or snow.

Mississippi health insurance exchange
MS enrollment in QHPs swells to 61,000 in final weeks
|Share this:

- July 24, 2014
Obamacare enrollment in Mississippi has ended for 2014. However, people who get married or divorced, change jobs, have a child or experience another qualifying event may be eligible for a special enrollment period. Enrollment for Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) continues throughout the year. Individuals who don't have health insurance that provides "minimum essential coverage" may have to pay a penalty: $95 or one percent of income, whichever is greater.
Open enrollment for 2015 coverage through the marketplace begins Nov. 15.
Signups for qualified health plans (QHPs) in Mississippi grew 141 percent — from 25,554 as of March 1 to 61,494 — in the final weeks of 2014 open enrollment. While Mississippi is not expanding its Medicaid program, 13,779 people who visited the marketplace qualified for either Medicaid or the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) under existing eligibility criteria.
Among Mississippi selecting a QHP, 94 percent qualified for financial assistance, compared to 85 percent nationally. A report released in June by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services showed the average monthly premium, after tax credits, for Mississippi consumers was just $23. That's the lowest average in the nation.
Eight percent of Mississippi residents selected a bronze plan (20 percent nationally), 79 percent selected a silver plan (65 percent nationally), 5 percent selected a gold plan (9 percent nationally), 7 percent selected a platinum plan (5 percent nationally) and 1 percent selected a catastrophic plan (2 percent nationally). Thirty-one percent of Mississippi enrollees were between the ages of 18 and 34.
State Commissioner of Insurance Mike Chaney clashed with two governors as to what form a health insurance exchange should take in Mississippi. Chaney, current Gov. Phil Bryant, and former Gov. Haley Barbour are all Republicans and on record as opposing the Affordable Care Act. However, Chaney consistently maintained that the state would be better off running its own exchange.
Chaney pushed hard for a state-run exchange. In 2011, he announced that the Mississippi Comprehensive Health Insurance Risk Pool Association would operate an exchange. The Risk Pool Association developed a plan in which the exchange would be developed in four phases, with work outsourced.
Early exchange planning was carried out by the board of directors of the Risk Pool Association and an advisory board appointed by Chaney. The Risk Pool Association, the advisory board, and the insurance department continued working throughout 2012, and in November, Chaney notified the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that Mississippi intended to implement a state-run exchange. However, Bryant told HHS in December 2012 that Chaney had overstepped his authority. In February 2013, HHS rejected Mississippi's exchange blueprint.
According to Kaiser State Health Facts, 18 percent of Mississippi residents were uninsured in 2012.

She's known as one of the most desirable women on the planet, so it's only fitting that Rosie Huntington-Whiteley would head up the "Inspired By Women" campaign for Moroccanoil.
The English supermodel showed up at the big launch event in New York City last night (September 17) sporting a white tuxedo-style blouse with a plunging neckline and slim-fitting black trousers.
Her live stage show definitely isn't for the faint-hearted, and now a Mexican state legislature is looking to crack the whip after Miley Cyrus' Independence Day gig.

With plenty of awards, accolades and fans, Matthew McConaughey seems to be more selective with his roles these days.
The "Dallas Buyers Club" hunk has decided not to participate in the forthcoming "Magic Mike XXL" film, despite his fan favorite role in the first flick.
She was scheduled to travel to Malta this weekend for her first official visit overseas by herself, and unfortunately Kate Middleton won't be able to make the trip.
According to a Kensington Palace spokesperson, the Duchess of Cambridge "continues to suffer from the effects of Hyperemesis Gravidarum," so she's staying put.
Back in August, longtime "Saturday Night Live" announcer Don Pardo passed away at 96, and now Darrell Hammond has been named as his replacement.
The former SNL cast member (he was on the show for 14 years) has some experience in the role as he filled in for Pardo when he came down with laryngitis.
"Never at any point have I sat down and plotted how I should proceed from here on. As soon as you start thinking about your career as a trajectory—like, as if you're going to miss out on some wave or momentum—then you're never doing anything for yourself anyway. Then you're truly, actually, specifically working for the public. You're turning yourself into a bag of chips."

To do the cool things, you have to be logged in first.
Great story casey:I really enjoy those inside stories about the players. I remember when Travis was hurt and was doing interviews, he would tell Rudy to hold up three fingers when he made a three to signal to Travis. Then Patty and now BRoy has taken it further. That is great.I haven't watched the game yet as last night was my league bowling night, but I will shortly.I have been preaching that we needed another Mr. fourth quarter for quite sometime, and I am hoping that may be Nic playing the 4 as he did against the clippers. I had completely forgot about the spanish connection because of all the flak given to Rudy, but maybe that is what he was missing to keep him fired up. For one thing, it sure won't hurt.Hg
Casey" As I just said on Barrett's Blog, with Rudy, Nic and Patty on the second unit we will have the foreign connection instead of the Spanish Armada.Hg
thanks for this story, casey; i see these goggles chant on the blazer chat and i've wondered what people were talking about; glad you could get to the bottom of this and whatever can help spark this team i'm all for it.
Patty Mills cracks me up. I loved watching him last night miss a three point shot and then rebounding/saving it under the basket. Wonderful intensity to see from a team that has been lacking it lately.
Yes, love these insights into the players off the court/behind the scenes. Thanks so much Casey! That play was #2 on NBA.com's Top 10 Plays - not bad. :-)
Great story. Glad to know what it's all about. I noticed Camby and Wesley doing the 3 goggles in the game last night.
I love this!! The connection between Mills and Fernandez is definitely evident. It makes me smile seeing Rudy back to his old self and Patty showing everyone what he's worth! :) Gotta love this team.
Thanks for all the comments everyone.
I loved the game last night!!! What fun! That no-look pass from Mills to Rudy was nasty!!!! Loved the story about the goggles with the threes--I noticed that they started doing it lately, and I love it!!! Thanks for the inside info--keep it coming!
Yay the mystery is revealed! Great story Casey. Glad to see the team is having fun and bonding while playing some good ball too. I think Rudy has definitely missed having someone like Sergio, who looked to get him involved, knew his style of play, so Patty might fill that void...but Patty can make those threes too, goggles or not. Best shot was Rudy hitting a three and Camby doing the three goggles on the bench, hilarious :)
ty for the story casey. i have heard others in chat talk about the three goggles and had no clue as i dont get to watch much blazer tv. i loved hearing about their freindship etc. it is geat to see themn playing off each other on the court. may we see many more nights like this..i chuckled a lot thru hearing you explain those goggles as i used to do those as a kid and it is cute. ty casey for writing this.your a gem and i enjoy reading your blogs
Thanks Casey! Love hearing these stories! I have seen them do the goggles thing and wondered what the story was behind it.It is great to see the chemistry with these guys and seeing them get some fast paced- fast break basket ball in as well. Hope we continue to see more of the same.Keep the Patty stories coming!
Oh, that's why Rudy's shot has dropped off so much... he's near-sighted!!
That is awesome, I was wondering when, and who came up with the three going up to the face. I am really liking Patty Mills he seems like a cool kid! Thanks for the great insider Casey!
okay, now finally i understand what the heck the three goggles is all about! i shall be better prepared for the next reference!~ Kassandra
Please share with Mike , Mike where the 3 goggle thing came from. Better yet ask them to read your blog!
Love watching Patty on the bench and on the court! Great member of this team. With some more playing time he could be very valuable.
Rudy learned The Three Goggles from his friend José Calderón.Calderón began using it a few years ago and it's his personal celebration.
Not true, as Crash22 said, this is a personal celebration used with Calderon but also with other members of the Spanish basketball team... But it's true that my friend Rudy need glasses... ;-)

Royal Courts of Justice The Strand
London WC2A 2LL
Friday, 5th November 1993
BRIAN HALL Appellant
IAN MALCOLM LORIMER Respondent
MR. P. GOLDSMITH QC and MR. L. HENDERSON (Instructed by The Solicitor of Inland Revenue, Somerset House, Strand, London WC2R 1LB) appeared on behalf of the Appellant
MR. S. ALLCOCK QC and MR. A. HITCHMOUGH (Instructed by Simmons & Simmons 14 Dominion Street, London EC2M 2RJ) appeared on behalf of the Respondent
(The stenograph notes of John Larking, Chancery House,
53‑64 Chancery Lane, London WC2A 071‑404 7464)
LORD JUSTICE DILLON: I will ask Nolan L.J. to give the first judgment.
LORD JUSTICE NOLAN: This is an appeal by the Inland Revenue in the person of Mr. Hall, Her Majesty's Inspector of Taxes, against a decision of Mummery J. dismissing the appeal of the Revenue against a decision of a Special Commissioner. The Special Commissioner by that decision had upheld the appeal of Mr. Lorimer against assessments under Case 1 of Schedule E upon his earnings as a freelance vision mixer for the years 1984/85 to 1988/89 inclusive. Mr. Lorimer contends, and the Special Commissioner held, that those earnings were properly assessable not under Schedule E but under Schedule D. Case 1 of Schedule E imposes a charge of tax "in respect of any office or employment on emoluments there". The charge under Schedule D is imposed upon inter alia the profits "from any trade, profession or vocation". For the first four of the assessments the relevant charging provisions were contained in the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1970. For the fifth they are in the corresponding Act of 1988. Nothing turns on that; the language is identical.
The case has been argued before us, as it was below, on the agreed basis that the critical issue is whether or not the contracts from which Mr. Lorimer derived his earnings were contracts of service. If so the earnings were properly assessed under Case 1 of Schedule E; if not they should be assessed under Schedule D.
The detailed facts of the matter which are so important in a case of this sort are set out with admirable thoroughness and clarity in the case stated by the learned Special Commissioner and in the documents attached thereto. I shall have to refer to some of the documents later in this judgment, but by way of introduction I cannot do better than adopt the summary of the facts given by Mummery J. in his judgment which was reported at (1992) 1 WLR 939. The summary begins at page 941 F and reads as follows:
"It appears from the facts found by the commissioner and set out in the case stated that the taxpayer, after a period in business on his own account and then in employment as an electrician, trained as a vision mixer in 1983. During his period of training and down to the end of January 1985 the taxpayer was employed by Molinare Ltd. as their one and only vision mixer in their business of producing television programmes. In 1985 the taxpayer decided to leave full‑time employment with Molinare Ltd. and became a freelance vision mixer, doing work for a number of different production companies.
Vision mixing is undoubtedly a skilled editing job. It involves selecting, in the course of making both pre‑recorded television programmes and live television programmes, camera shots taken from different angles which come up on screens in front of the mixer. The shots selected by the mixer determine what the viewer ultimately sees on his television screen at home. The vision mixer works closely with the director. He does not himself produce the film or television programme; he is one of many involved in the production. Others involved are the producer, director, musical director, cameramen, presenters, artistic directors, stagehands, electricians, engineers and so on. The production in which the vision mixing occurs usually takes place in a studio owned or hired by the production company. The studio is equipped with very expensive equipment owned or hired by the production company. The studio is equipped with very expensive equipment owned or supplied by the studio company, though the advice of the vision mixer may be sought on the equipment to be used in a particular production.
After he left full‑time employment with Molinare Ltd. the taxpayer prepared a curriculum vitae. He made contact by letter, telephone and personal visits with many companies in the television industry with a view to obtaining engagements as a vision mixer. In the first 14 months he built up a list of 22 companies and in the three succeeding years the number on the list has remained at about 20. Some of the original names stayed on the list. New names were added. Most of the time was spent on engagements with a relatively small number of companies, though not always the same companies.
The taxpayer kept busy in what is a volatile industry. He worked for over 800 days in the period from 2 February 1985 to 5 April 1989. His annual number of engagements ranged from between 120 to 150. In the relevant period he had a total of about 580 engagements. Apart from three occasions when he worked as a technical director, a director and a transmission controller, all of the taxpayer's engagements were as a vision mixer. On six occasions when bookings clashed he provided, with the consent of the production company, a substitute hired at his expense for a sum less than he charged the production company, so that on those occasions he made a profit from the engagement.
The taxpayer has had no full‑time or long term contract with any one company since he left Molinare Ltd. He has been free to accept engagements or not, as he wished, and the various production companies have been free to engage the taxpayer or not as they wished.
He takes bookings for periods of usually one to two days on a first come first served basis. The longest engagement was for 10 days. When he accepts an engagement the taxpayer goes to the studio and stays there until his part in the programme production has been satisfactorily completed. He does no other work for the company engaging him. Bookings are usually made on the phone to his home, where he has an office, and are subsequently confirmed by letter which often states the date, rate of pay, place of work and time. There are, however, no formal written conditions of engagement. Varying lump sum amounts are agreed and charged as reward for the work, sometimes with the addition of VAT. The taxpayer was registered for the purposes of VAT from 1 February 1985. Some clients are bad payers and keep him waiting for three months before they pay up. Some companies have deducted PAYE income tax or Class 1 national insurance contributions from the agreed payments. It appears that the taxpayer's charges are higher than the normal union rates of pay. For most of the relevant period the taxpayer was a member of a union, the Association of Cinematograph Television and Allied Technicians. All of the taxpayer's work as a vision mixer is done at the studios owned or hired by the production company on equipment owned or supplied by the studio company. The taxpayer does not provide any equipment or tools of his own. He does not contribute any money to the cost of the production of the programme. He does not share in the profits or run the risk of losses on the production. He does not hire any staff, either to assist him with his vision mixing at the production studio or at home, though his wife helped him with paperwork at home until their marriage was dissolved and he employed an agent for a few months from March 1989.
As to his financial arrangements, the taxpayer keeps a business account at his bank separate from his personal accountant. In January 1985 he effected a retirement annuity policy and a life assurance policy approved by the Revenue under the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1970. In October 1986 he took out an insurance policy against sickness, providing income after four weeks of ill‑health."
Before us Mr. Goldsmith QC, representing the Inland Revenue, made a concession which had not been made below. It was that tax could not be charged under Schedule E in respect of the profits made by Mr. Lorimer on the six occasions when, with the consent of the production company concerned, he provided a substitute to carry out the work for which he had contracted.
Mr. Goldsmith accepted that in those cases Mr. Lorimer could not be said to have earned his profit in the performance of a contract of service because in the result he was not paid for his own skill and labour. Mr. Goldsmith added, and I would agree, that the concession had no significant bearing on the proper classification of the other 574 engagements which Mr. Lorimer carried out during the 800 or more days on which he worked between 2 February and 5 April 1989.
Mr. Goldsmith submitted, and again I would agree, that the conclusion of the Special Commissioner on those other engagements was a conclusion of mixed law and fact. Therefore, it could only be disturbed on appeal if either the learned Special Commissioner had misdirected himself in law or the true and only reasonable conclusion on the facts found by him was inconsistent with his determination. The Revenue case before us as before Mummery J. was put forward primarily on the letter basis.
Mr. Goldsmith submitted that the most useful test to adopt in judging the reasonableness or otherwise of the Special Commissioner's decision was that stated by Cooke J. in Market Investigations Ltd v. Minister of Social Security (1969) 2 QB 173 at pages 184‑5 when he said:
"The fundamental test to be applied is this: "Is the person who has engaged himself to perform these services performing them as a person in business on his own account?" If the answer to that question is "yes," then the contract is a contract for services. If the answer is "no," then the contract is a contract of service. No exhaustive list has been compiled and perhaps no exhaustive list can be compiled of the considerations which are relevant in determining that question, nor can strict rules be laid down as to the relative weight which the various considerations should carry in particular cases. The most that can be said is that control will no doubt always have to be considered, although it can no longer be regarded as the sole determining factor; and the factors which be of importance are such matters as whether the man performing the services provides his own equipment, whether he hires his own helpers, what degree of financial risk he takes, what degree of responsibility for investment and management he has, and whether and how far he has an opportunity of profiting from sound management in the performance of his task."
That case was concerned with a lady who belonged to a panel of part‑time interviewers carrying out specific surveys for a market research company. It was held that each of her assignments constituted a separate contract of service in respect of which she fell to be treated as an insured person for National Insurance purposes. Cooke J.'s observations were cited by Pennycuick V.‑C. in Fall v. Hitchen (1973) 1 WLR 286 when holding that a professional dancer was taxable under Case 1 of Schedule E upon his earnings from a particular contract with the Sadlers Wells Trust Limited. After referring to the passage which I have quoted the Vice Chancellor continued at page 292 H of the report:
"In the present case, it seems to me that virtually all the relevant factors point to this being a contract of service. The taxpayer is engaged to work for a minimum period of rehearsal plus 22 weeks, and thereafter until the contract is determined by a fortnight's notice on either side; he is engaged to work full‑time during specified hours for a regular salary; the company has the first call upon his services, and indeed the exclusive call subject only to this, that its consent to the taxpayer performing elsewhere should not be unreasonably withheld; and then, again, the company provides and owns the gear used by the taxpayer with one exception. All these indicia point to the conclusion is that he is not a person who is performing those services in business on his own account and there are really no indicia to the contrary."
In Lee Ting Sang v Chung Chi‑Keung (1990) 2 AC 374
Lord Griffiths delivering the judgment of the Privy Counsel said at page 382 of the report that "the matter had never been better put" than by Cooke J. in the passage in question. The Privy Counsel proceeded to hold, reversing the decisions of the judge of first instance and the Court of Appeal, that the applicant who was a casual worker on a building site was an employee of the subcontractor for whom he was working at the time he suffered an accident and was, therefore, entitled to be compensated under the Employees' Compensation Ordinance of Hong Kong.
It was found that the applicant worked from time to time for other contractors, but when the work of the respondent was urgent would give priority to him, telling any other employer for whom he was then working to engage someone else to finish the work. The applicant had been working on this particular job for 20 days before the accident had occurred.
Lord Griffiths said at page 383 F of the report:
"All the tests, or perhaps it is better to call them indicia[1], mentioned by Cooke J. in Market Investigations Ltd. v. Minister of Social Security (1969) 2 Q.B. 173, 184‑185 point towards the status of an employee rather than an independent contractor. The applicant did not provide his own equipment, the equipment was provided by his employer. He did not hire his own helpers; this emerged with clarity in his evidence when he explained that he gave priority to the first respondent's work and if asked by the first respondent to do an urgent job he would tell those he was working for that they would have to employ someone else: if he was an independent contractor in business on his own account, one would expect that he would attempt to keep both contracts by hiring others to fulfil the contract he had to leave. He had no responsibility for investment in, or management of, the work on the construction site, he simply turned up for work and chipped off concrete to the required depth upon the beams indicated to him on a plan by the first respondent. There is no suggestion in the evidence that he priced the job which is normally a feature of the business approach of a subcontractor; he was paid either a piece‑work rate or a daily rate according to the nature of the work he was doing. It is true that he was not supervised in his work, but this is not surprising, he was a skilled man and he had been told the beams upon which he was to work and the depth to which they were to be cut and his work was measured to see that he achieved that result. There was no question of his being called upon to exercise any skill or judgment as to which beams required chipping or as to the depths that they were to be cut. He was simply told what to do and left to get on with it as, for example, would a skilled turner on a lathe who was required to cut a piece of metal to certain directions.
Taking all the foregoing considerations into account the picture emerges of a skilled artisan earning his living by working for more than one employer as an employee and not as a small businessman venturing into business on his own account as an independent contractor with all its attendant risks. The applicant ran no risk whatever save that of being unable to find employment which is, of course, a risk faced by casual employees who move from one job to another, and such casual employees are specifically covered by the Ordinance."
Casual employees are not specifically covered by the changing provisions of Schedule E, though provision is made for them in Regulation 50 of the PAYE Regulation S.I. 1973 No. 334. But it is, I think, clear from other passages in the Lee Ting Sang judgment that the specific mention of casual employment in the Hong Kong Ordinance was not essential to the decision in the case. Mr. Goldsmith submitted in effect that an employment properly so called is not the less an employment because it is casual rather than regular and that I would accept.
Mr. Goldsmith acknowledged that the work of Mr. Lorimer, unlike that of Mr. Lee Ting Sang, depended upon his own rare skill and judgment but submitted that the nature and degree of skill involved in the work cannot alone be decisive. Again I agree. A brain surgeon may very well be an employee. A window cleaner is commonly self‑employed.
Mr. Goldsmith invited us to adopt the same approach as that of Lord Griffiths in applying the test or indicia set out by Cooke J. to the facts of the present case. That is an invitation which I view with some reserve. In cases of this sort there is no single path to a correct decision. An approach which suits the facts and arguments of one case may be unhelpful in another. I agree with the views expressed by Mummery J. in the present case at page 944 D of the report where he says:
"In order to decide whether a person carries on business on his own account it is necessary to consider many different aspects of that person's work activity. This is not a mechanical exercise of running through items on a check list to see whether they are present in, or absent from, a given situation. The object of the exercise is to paint a picture from the accumulation of detail. The overall effect can only be appreciated by standing back from the detailed picture which has been painted, by viewing it from a distance and by making an informed, considered, qualitative appreciation of the whole. It is a matter of evaluation of the overall effect of the detail, which is not necessarily the same as the sum total of the individual details. Not all details are of equal weight or importance in any given situation. The details may also vary in importance from one situation to another.
The process involves painting a picture in each individual case. As Vinelott J. said in Walls v. Sinnett (1986) 60 T.C. 150, 164:
"It is in my judgment, quite impossible in a field where a very large number of factors have to be weighed to gain any real assistance by looking at the facts of another case and comparing them one by one to see what facts are common, what are different and what particular weight is given by another tribunal to the common facts. The facts as a whole must be looked at, and what may be compelling in one case in the light of all the facts may not be compelling in the context of another case."
Nonetheless in deference to the submission of Mr. Goldsmith I am prepared to follow his suggested path and see where it takes us. Listing the specific factors to which Cooke J. referred Mr. Goldsmith said that the production company in any given engagement controlled the time, place and duration of each programme, that Mr. Lorimer did not provide any of his own equipment, that he hired no staff to assist him in his work, that he ran no financial risk apart from the risk of bad financial debts and of being unable to find work, that he had no responsibility for investment in or management of the work of programme making and consequently he had no opportunity of profiting from the manner in which he carried out individual assignments.
Each of these points was considered by the Special Commissioner. He did not fully accept their validity as a matter of fact in all cases. Thus at page 27 of the bundle he said:
"Mr. Lorimer provides no equipment (i.e. he has no tools) he provides no "work place" or "workshop" where the contract is to be performed, he provides no capital for the production, he hires no staff for it. No; he does not. But that is not his business. He has his office, he exploits his abilities in the market place, he bears his own financial risk which is greater than that of one who is an employee, accepting the risk of bad debts and outstanding invoices and of no or an insufficient number of engagements. He has the opportunity of profiting from being good at being a vision mixer. According to his reputation so there will be a demand for his services for which he will be able to charge accordingly. The more efficient he is at running the business of providing his services the greater is his prospect of profit."
Mr. Goldsmith submits that the Special Commissioner was not entitled to attach significance to Mr. Lorimer's risk of having no engagements because as was pointed out in the Lee Ting Sang case, this is a risk faced by casual employees who move from one job to another. That is so, but the risk of bad debts and outstanding invoices is certainly not one which is normally associated with employment. Moreover, the income and expenditure accounts annexed to the stated case reveal that Mr. Lorimer incurred very substantial expenditure in the course of obtaining and organising his engagements and as an incident of carrying them out. For example, in the period from 1 February 1985 to 30 April 1986 his expenses, including the cost of running his car or otherwise travelling in the course of his work and of running his office from home, amounted to £9,250 against fees received of £32,875, though it may be that the figure for fees included some reimbursement of expenses. All of those expenses, as Mr. Allcock QC representing Mr. Lorimer told us, without contradiction, were considered to be deductible if Mr. Lorimer were assessed under Schedule D. In any event they would seem to me to be quite different in nature and scale from those likely to be incurred by an employee.
More generally, as the Special Commissioner noted, the special feature specified in the Revenue list would be found in the case of many individuals who exploit their talents in the theatrical, operatic, orchestral, sporting fields but who are nonetheless independent contractors. Mr. Goldsmith submitted that the fundamental distinction between a contract of employment and a contract for service is that in the former the contracting party sells his skill or labour; in the latter he sells the product of his labour. In one case the employer buys the man; in the other he buys the job. If that were right, it would have provided a short and simple answer in the Market Investigation, Fall v. Hitchen and Lee Ting Sang cases, but that aside, I find the distinction very hard to apply in the case of a professional man. Surely the self‑employed barrister advising in his chambers or the doctor advising in his surgery is selling his skill and labour and not its product. If the scene shifts to the court or to the operating theatre can the client or patient really be said to be buying the product which may be disastrous in spite of the best efforts of the advocate or the surgeon in the litigation or operation?[2]
Again the question, whether the individual is in business on his own account, though often helpful, may be of little assistance in the case of one carrying on a profession or vocation. A self‑employed author working from home or an actor or a singer may earn his living without any of the normal trappings of a business. For my part I would suggest there is much to be said in these cases for bearing in mind the traditional contrast between a servant and an independent contractor. The extent to which the individual is dependent upon or independent of a particular pay master for the financial exploitation of his talents may well be significant. It is, I think, in any event plain that Cooke J. was not intending to lay down an all purpose definition of employment. For example, his test does not mention the duration of the particular engagement or the number of people by whom the individual is engaged. At page 188 of the report Cooke J. said that he took account of the fact that the lady concerned was free to work as an interviewer for others but added that there was no finding that she did so. This is of little assistance in the present case of which the most outstanding feature to my mind is that Mr. Lorimer customarily worked for 20 or more production companies and that the vast majority of his assignments, as appears from the annexures to the stated case lasted only for a single day.
With these considerations in mind I am unable to accept the submission that the conclusion reached by the Special Commissioner was inconsistent with the facts found by him.
Was it however reached on the basis of a misunderstanding of the law? Three points are relied upon by Mr. Goldsmith in this context. First, he says that the Special Commissioner erred in placing reliance on the decision of Rowlatt J. in Davis v. Braithwaite (1931) 2 KB 628 as an authority on the meaning of employment for the purposes of Schedule E in its modern form. It is not surprising that the Special Commissioner attached importance to the case because it concerned an actress, Miss Lillian Braithwaite, whose income earning activities had much in common with those of Mr. Lorimer. Basing himself upon the fact that the legislature in 1922 had moved private employments from Schedule D to Schedule E, which dealt primarily with public offices and employments. Rowlatt J. concluded that the legislature "had in mind employments which were something like offices, and I thought of the word "posts" as conveying the idea required." Mr. Goldsmith rightly points out that since 1956 the charging provisions of Schedule E have simply referred to "any office or employment" and that, as has been agreed in the present case, in accordance with the decision of Pennycuick V.‑C. in Fall v. Hitchen the word "employment" should be accepted as synonymous with contract of service. Rowlatt J.'s conception of a "post", if by that is meant something which could be filled by successive holders, is therefore no longer a helpful analogy in deciding whether or not an employment exists. But his judgment continued:
"When a person occupies a post resting on a contract, and if then that is employment as opposed to a mere engagement in the course of carrying on a profession, I do not think that is a very difficult term of distinction, though perhaps a little difficult to apply to all cases. But I would go further than that and say that it seems to me that where one finds a method of earning a livelihood which does not consist of the obtaining of a post and staying in it, but consists of a series of engagements and moving from one to the other ‑ and in the case of an actor's or actress's life it certainly involves going from one to the other and not going on playing one part for the rest of his or her life, but in obtaining one engagement, then another, and a whole series of them ‑ then each of those engagements cannot be considered employment, but is a mere engagement in the course of exercising a profession, and every profession and every trade does involve the making of successive engagements and successive contracts and, in one sense of the word, employments.
In this case I think it is quite clear that the respondent must be assessed to income tax under Sch. D, because here she does not make a contract with a producer for a post. She makes a contract with a producer for the next thing that she is going to do, and then another producer, and then a third producer, and at any time she may make a record for a gramophone company or act for a film. I think that whatever she does and whatever contracts she makes are nothing but incidents in the conduct of her professional career."
In Fall v. Hitchen at page 295 of the report Sir John Pennycuick quoted that passage and continued:
"In that judgment, Rowlatt J. holds that the word "employment" means a post, and distinguishes it from a succession of engagements made in the course of carrying on a profession. He then goes on to hold that, on the particular facts of that case, Miss Braithwaite did not hold any post and that none of her particular engagements could be treated as post, but that on the contrary all her successive engagements must be treated as incidents in the conduct of her profession. Rowlatt J. nowhere says that if an actor enters into a contract in such terms as to amount to what he calls a post, then that actor is not chargeable under Schedule E but under Schedule D. On the contrary, it is implicit in the whole of his judgment, it seems to me, that if a professional person, whether an actor or anybody else, enters into a contract involving what Rowlatt J. calls a post, then that person will be chargeable in respect of the income arising from the post under Schedule E notwithstanding that he is at the same time carrying on his profession, the income of which will be chargeable under Schedule D. The instance of a musician puts that point very neatly.
I do not think that most people today would use the word "post," which does not seem very apt to cover the countless instances of employment in the sense of a contract of service; but every word of that judgment is applicable as between the carrying on of a profession and an engagement in the course of carrying on that profession, on the one hand, and a contract of employment, on the other hand."
With those words of Pennycuick V.‑C. I would respectfully agree as another helpful statement carrying general weight in the consideration of problems of this kind. The Special Commissioner was referred to Fall v. Hitchen as well as to Davis v. Braithwaite and I see no reason to suppose that he misunderstood or misapplied the latter decision in any respect.
Then it is said that the Special Commissioner was not referred to Lee Sing Tang and so was mistaken in his expressed belief that there was no reported case in this field where the individual provided service to an appreciable number of different people on very short engagements. But the report of the Lee Sing Tang case, to which I have referred, tells us nothing about the number or duration of the applicant's other engagements. I do not accept that the Special Commissioner was led by his unawareness of the case into an erroneous conclusion.
Finally, it is said that the Special Commissioner, and for that matter the learned judge, was wrongly influenced by the decision of this court in O'Kelly v. Trust House Forte PLC (1984) QB 90 and failed to appreciate that in that case there was a finding of the custom and practice in the industry which had no counterpart in the present case. But the Special Commissioner merely expressed interest in the Trust House Forte decision. He does not appear to me to have placed any particular reliance upon it. Even if he did so and did so wrongly, his conclusion would seem to me to be amply justified by the other authorities to which he referred.
Mr. Goldsmith told us that in pursuing this appeal the Revenue were not trying to extend the scope of the Schedule E charge but were concerned to prevent it from being eroded in the case of casual employments. The decision of the Special Commissioner in the present case does not appear to me to justify this concern. On the contrary, it seems to me to be fully in line with the earlier cases. Therefore, despite Mr. Goldsmith's careful and attractively presented submissions I would dismiss the appeal.
LORD JUSTICE DILLON: I agree.
LORD JUSTICE ROCH: I also agree.

Great Little RSVP Cards
Oui, Oui Paris! RSVP Postcards Came out just as pictured when I was going through the personalization. I just love the Oui, Oui Paris! design for its vintage and antiqued appearance. The inclusion of the street lamp on these is a great touch because the city I'm getting married in has old street lamps, as does the venue our reception is to be held so it fits perfectly with the theme. Quality is great and the price just can't be beat. Really happy I stumbled across Magnet Street for all my paper needs!
Beautiful Quality for a Great Price
Oui, Oui Paris! Square Invitations I found Magnet Street in a last ditch effort to make some fast Save the Dates. After playing around with the website I stumbled upon this design for Invitations and it's absolutely PERFECT for what I needed. My wedding is being held in downtown St. Augustine, Florida - the "oldest city" in America. I wanted a very vintage, antique sort of old work look and feel for my invitations and the Oui, Oui Paris! design works beautifully for this. I changed the base color to ivory and the "worn" color on the outside of the invitations to gold, gives it a perfectly old antiqued look. Being able to personalize with fancy script keeps it more formal and the quality of the paper - while not as heavy as some of the SUPER fancy invitations I've seen, is still excellent quality for the price you're paying. The ONLY thing i would have liked was the ability to make the font size just a tad bigger. But in the end it's readable and still looks really nice. On top of this, Magnet Street offers great deals. I got 20% off coupon code that arrived with my Save the Date magnets that I used for this order and it saved me over $100, how do you not love that?!
Great Card!
Oui, Oui Paris! Pocket Invitations My daughter chose this card because we were able to change the design to reflect New Orleans, the card it self is beautiful and you are able to select your own colors. The only suggestion I would have is to contact Magnetstreet and confirm colors prior to printing and we thought there was a slit to tuck the top part of the invitation into the pocket of the invitation but there was not but overall the invitations came in beautiful and Magnetstreet was wonderful to work with always trying to please the customer. Great company to work with!
Yet another great product in this collection
Oui, Oui Paris! Thank You Cards I used the Oui, Oui Paris template for most of my wedding materials (invitations, table numbers, thank you cards, etc.). The thank you notes are another great product from them. Really great design, excellent quality, and efficient processing and shipment as with all their other stuff. My only gripe is that the pictures on the front of the card appear smaller than they do on the template you edit. Not a huge deal, but wish the pictures took up more of the front of the card since that's the best part in my opinion.
Lovely, but small
Oui, Oui Paris! Wedding Table Numbers I guess it's my own fault for not paying better attention to the size guidelines listed on the website. They look great, they're just much smaller than I anticipated. Table numbers should be larger in my opinion, but it's really not that big a deal. Looks wise and quality wise they are excellent, as is everything from this company.

Borderites win soccer honors
Although knocked out 2-0 by South Whidbey in the North Cascades Conference playoffs on November 3 at Sultan, Blaines girls soccer team finished the season with a 12-6 record and won two major North Cascade Conference awards, two first team and two second team all league selections.
The Roll of Honor included Borderite head coach Dan Steelquist being named NCC Coach of the Year and keeper Shela Robertson, NCC Defensive Player of the Year, an award putting her above first-team all-league selection.
Steelquist turned a team of four seniors, two juniors, five sophomores and six freshmen into a defensive squad of awesome annoyance to rival goal-seekers. Robertson, the best keeper in the NCC, anchored Blaines goal-denying defense. Shes a very quick, fearless keeper, Steelquist noted, She stopped one shot at point blank range (four yards) in the South Whidbey game.
Other honorees were senior Anna Sticklin, the consummate competitor displaying incredible focus and outstanding athletic ability, named first team all league midfielder and sophomore Linsey Taylor, a bundle of energy and enthusiasm and throwback to a 1950s center half, named first team all league defender.
Borderites named to the all league second team were defenders Kate Lawrenson and Lori Robertson. Lawrenson, a steady senior and four-year varsity player who started as a forward, developed into a class defender. Robertson, a fearless freshman defender, reads game well.
The rundown on the other Borderites:
Forwards: Kimberly Harmening sophomore, fearless, determined and competitive. Ainsley Nix freshman, excellent ball skills, so intuitively good that she gathers defenders in double-teaming numbers. Krista Jones sophomore, cool under pressure, very accurate left foot. Ashley Oldaker sophomore, quick, gives 100% on field, possessor of great sliding tackle.
Midfielders: Ashley Olason: freshman JV forward, brought up to the varsity for playoffs to play defense, potentially a very solid player. Brenda Jones: solid senior, reads game and adjusts well, never gives up. Andrea Harmening: freshman, able to play different roles, tenacious, capable of playing forward. Kristina Tremblay: senior, filled a number of roles, plays at one speed (100%), great work rate, often disrupted other team. Rachelle Ramirez: sophomore, another all-out, all-round player, always driving to play better. Kristina Francis: very coachable sophomore with quick, hard accurate shot, reads game well. Nicole Riddle: very hard-working freshman. Lacey Taylor very coachable freshman, able to play MF and F, team didnt lose anything when brought in off bench.
Coulter, Walcon MVPs
Grace Coulter and Alden Walcon garnered 2001 Most Valuable Player awards at Blaine high schools cross country awards night on November 14.
Both harriers were selected All North Cascades Conference runners earlier this month, Alden finishing second and Coulter, third at the NCC championship and both competing at state.
Dan Marchio was selected by his Borderite teammates for the Inspirational award and Dan Balmer was voted the teams Most Improved runner. Coulter and Kenneth Cunningham were named Blaine cross country team captains for 2002.
Support Needed
Those fans wishing to help defray Alden Walcons expenses to the Foot Locker West Regional Championships at Mt. San Antonio College in Walnut, CA on December 1 should send their donation to Alden Walcon, 4390 Fleet Road, Blaine 98230. Runners qualifying for the championships, a privately-run event, must raise their own funding to compete.
From Borderite to Orca

The reason for the EVC crash is the 'ammo' parameter, more specifically the value 37 (it's supposed to make "Enforcer" appear above the icon) - how can this be fixed, Craig?

|032B: 11@ = create_weapon_pickup #BONUS 3 ammo 37 at 1236.0 -697.0 17.75;Enforcer
That's the line that causes the crash; when 37 is replaced by any other reasonable value, it works great (but it doesn't say 'Enforcer' above the pickup obviously).
I just need to know how and where the correlation between ammo value and displayed TEXT is defined.
Meanwhile I've fixed the RTB garage, it opens and closes correctly, even though the camera still goes inside the garage - maybe issue with cube coordinates?
- Download package has been updated
But it isn't included in the versions that you released so far, is it?
If it is, it doesn't work for me.

|That 37 is defined in the exe.
I thought so, I'd already checked the launcher files to see if the table was made available through the GUI. Should be a quick fix though.
Next missions to tackle:
Sayonara Salvatore - I've completely rearranged RTB, so what about recoding this one?
Gone Fishing - there's certainly room for improvement. Might be hard to test.

The Chaperone bugs are known - the crash and a workaround are even explained in the DOWNLOAD topic. The missing marker and icon have also been fixed (I know the icon definitely has, I'm not sure about the marker). but I haven't put the updated files into a download package just yet.
As for the "shortcut thing", make sure you create the shortcut correctly, run it, click on Advanced, find the Debug tab, and ensure that the Use Debug Script box is ticked (if you want to play in Debug mode - untick it if you want to play normally), then click Apply and then Exit. Then run LC and start a new game. That works for everyone else, and I see no reason why it wouldn't work for you.

Both are de-/activated together with a single line of code. So if the icon shows up, you can expect the sphere to show up, too (and vice versa).
Checked out the ASI, Enforcer does work, but it crashes when it's supposed to create the next pickup.

Oh no, it still crashes, but I don't think it's reproducable.

Your HUD changes don't work because I'm using the No-CD EXE. Other than that I wouldn't have an explanation for that.

Gone Fishing crashes near the end (when Ray's partner has left the boat), 'last opcode executed' shows a WAIT command.

The new HUD should appear, as well as my own position text. I used vcversion for adjusting the offsets, so you it should definitely work. (1.0 No-CD is the version I work with)

I think it's kind of strange that 00AC works for me in Chaperone (3 times), but not at all in Gone Fishing.
List for Ben:
Bugs to be added:
+ Drive Misty For Me: Camera points at the wrong place when you're waiting in front of Misty's apartment.
(+) Possible crash when Ray's partner has left the boat in Gone Fishing
+ text_box needs bold font (EXE-related) -> add that to 2-35
+ coronas need to be added (Info pickups) or have their color changed (weapon pickups) -> add to 2-35 aswell
Bugs to be removed:
3-33: It's not easier to pass the mission in LC, but it's exactly the same in both games. I might have gotten the impression because the ASIs and hooks (GTAIII handling hook) I had installed might've altered the momentum.
3-10b: needs a closing [/i] tag
3-18b: happens in normal mode aswell (as far as I tested this today to find a way fix it - no luck)
3-23b: What's the problem? You'll lose health as soon as you're inside the cube.
Oh, nearly forgot to mention it:
The object culling works great with your experimental version, ModelingMan.

I've modified the Car Crusher code; you'll die if you're inside the crusher when it's closed and you don't get a reward for crushing the car in this case.
ModelingMan, one issue I noticed with your HUD draw routine (I know that it's probably not finished...):
III/VC/(SA?) increase the visible amount of money step by step, while your code instantly sets the new amount. I don't know if this only applies to the money, but it's quite noticeable there (especially when you're in Debug mode and already have the $1,000,000 displayed that would normally rise till you reached the end of Callahan Bridge).

When modifying the code I have obviously forgotten to change the offset for the money. The variable I'm using for drawing is the same one I use for setting the player's money (re-spray cost), I should be using the variable after that, just forgot to set it when tidying up the code.
I'm taking a different approach with re-coding IIItoVC. I'm creating a plugins loader (got the idea from Dexx' car reflection topic), which will have a base dll with pointers to VC's internal functions and the vcversion module functions. It will also include other useful functions like code hooking, and anything else I can think of. Having such a loader would certainly tidy up alot of code, and make it easier to maintain.

Posted 22 June 2007 - 08:50 AM Edited by SteaVor, 22 June 2007 - 12:35 PM.
Meanwhile I've fixed the SSV garage door issue.
Some background (you can skip the technical mumbo-jumbo of course, the 'Solution' part is at the end):
Garages are simply cubes in the game world that have special behavior assigned, based off the type (save garages, pay'n sprays, bombshops, car eaters like the securicar garage). When they are defined, there's no parameter that sets which object the game should regard as garage door.
Now you might ask, how does the game know which object to move/rotate or how does it even determine that this special garage cube has a door?
Very simple: It checks if there are objects inside the cube coordinates and then consults its built-in object table that defines which objects are used as garage doors (amongst other things). If the game finds such an object in the garage cube, it automatically regards it as the door object belonging to this garage.
Now take a look at how the SSV garage is set up:
3 doors, the middle one (towergarage1) is supposed to remain static all the time.
The garage doors are named towergaragedoor2 (left) and towergaragedoor3 (right) respectively, we want them to be regarded as garage doors by the game, so we have to overwrite the hardcoded object table via the Launcher ('objects' tab of course).
So far everything is great and everything should work fine, but strangely towergaragedoor1 (the static one) has also been added as garage object to the EXE table(penultimate entry), and that's the reason for the behaviour that we're experiencing I suppose.
Even under normal circumstances, the SSV hideout garage is unique in that it uses 2 garage doors simultaneously. I don't think I recall any other garage in III, VC or even SA that makes use of 2 doors, so even that might be problematic for the VC engine, but with the addition of the middle one as door object the game finds 3 possible objects inside the cube, gets irritated and behaves completely unpredictable as a result.
EDIT: Looks like the 2 garage doors only work correctly because they aren't next to each other. If you're defining the middle door and either of the other 2 doors as garage objects, then the only door working will be the central one.
a) via 'Show Config':
Switch to the 'Objects' tab, scroll down to the penultimate entry.
It should say 'yt_main_body' to the left and 'towergaragedoor1' to the right. Click on the line, the box at the upper right corner of the tab should say 'towergaragedoor1' now. Click the 'Restore' button, the entry shouldn't be bold anymore. You're done already; click Apply to save your change.
b) via INI:
Open gta-lc.ini.
Scroll down to the [Objects] section and search for these lines:
| Esc_step=amcogaragedoor
It can be found at the end of the section.
Delete the middle line, the section should now look like this:
| Esc_step=amcogaragedoor
Save your changes and you're done.
You should definitely try it out, as it won't have any kind of negative impact on your game; you won't have to start a new game either.
If the door issue still occurs, then there's an issue with the recognition of the two seperate objects as garage doors, but the change you've made won't have to be reverted as this is definitely an error (because the middle door isn't supposed to be moved at all).
After some additional testing I'm pretty confident that this will get rid of the bug. It should definitely reduce the occurances at the VERY least.
3-22b needs to be moved to the EXE section because it the reason it won't work is opcode 0367 which isn't supported in VC.

STEVENS POINT, WI (WSAU) - The trial for a Bancroft man accused of causing a 2-year-old's death has been moved back five months. Reymundo Perez is accused of throwing Felix Espinoza-Villa to the ground twice October 26th of last year because he would not stop crying. The child died two days later.
According to court documents, Perez was babysitting the child for his girlfriend October 26th 2011 at his trailer in Bancroft.
An autopsy found the boy's spinal cord had been cut and that he died from blunt force injuries to his head, stomach and other parts of his body.
The child's mother has been charged with beating the child with a sandal and rhinestone-studded belt buckle. Police say the mother did not cause the child's death. Defense attorney Gary Schmalz doesn't believe it was Perez's fault.
Prosecutor Veronica Isherwood says this delay is adding hardship to the victim's mother...NWS 5842 :16 sec. "...this tragedy."
Assistant District Attorney Veronica Isherwood is disappointed the defense waited this long to request the services of an expert witness. Judge John Finn says Perez is entitled to the expert, and with other options exhausted, Portage County could end up paying close to $18,000 for Dr. Janice Ophoven's services.
Defense attorney Gary Schmalz successfully argued his client needs the testimony of the expert witness, saying there are inconsistencies with the medical reports and the autopsy. He believes Dr. Janice Ophoven's evaluation and opinion will support his client's position.
The trial was to begin in January. The new trial is set for eight days beginning June 12th of next year.

Order ANGEL TIME:
Audio Book
Listen to an audio clip from the book:
Posted 11/17/08
In keeping with my commitment to do Christian fiction in a variety of forms, I am developing a new series called Songs of the Seraphim. The first of these metaphysical thrillers, Angel Time, will be coming in October 2009. The second has already been written and the third is underway. I'm hoping for a long life for the series with many adventures for its hero. I continue to work on Christ the Lord, the Kingdom of Heaven, the third book in the Christ the Lord series.
First Review:
"Time travel, ultraviolence and medieval madness—divine intervention rendered fantastically by Rice... With two marvelous reimaginings of the Gospels and a spiritual autobiography recently extending her range, Rice revisits the shadows of her vampire classics; now, however, with her return to Catholicism, her sinners vie for redemption... Angelically inspiring. Devilishly clever."

I remember when I got my first smartphone I decided then and there to never go back to a regular phone. The added functionality was astounding to me at the time. I was able to stay more connected and plan my schedule without having to write everything down. Having numerous things I want and need all in one place is the best.
And the data plan you pay for... They must be making a killing off of that.
While they do look impressive and are becoming more functional. I don't think that I'm rich enough to afford a smartphone at the time... The combination of the calling plan and the data plan just puts too much strain on my wallet.
Mine is smart because it's out of contract and not freakin' expensive. (I use an old, smelly Razr)
I have a iPhone that I run on T-Mobil prepaid, the only time I use it is for testing on iPhone (have not built a hackentosh yet). I run I OS, Android, and WP7 using Cydia on it. Outside of that I use it as a phone. When I am out and about the last thing I care about is doing anything with the net. Oh and this includes email if it's not important enough to call me about it can wait until I am sitting there ready to do real work.
I really thought there would be more.
Maybe some of these adults were not sure what a "smart phone" is. They might have an iphone and think... Oh no this isn't a smart phone, it's an iphone. Or they could have any of the dozens of phones that are for sale today and not realize they are smart phones....
I very rarely ever see someone using a regular phone...
I agree acarzt, but as they said the likelihood is greater in a urban or suburban area. With the population movement seeming to be the same it throws up some interesting things sociologically speaking. A smart phone for all uses and purposes now is just a small computer you carry in your pocket. As has also been discussed they will be computers with quad core cpu's by October/November from what I have been hearing. I saw a guy asking a question somewhere the other day about should he just cancel his internet connection and just use his Verizon smart because he was moving into a new house. That idea sounds insane to me, but I guess if you wanna pay car payments for your smart phone bill, well you just go right ahead. Lol; he came back about having an unlimited plan, of which I told him he was severely mistaken because there was a cap on it, he wanted to argue, I would love to see his face when he gets the bill after running his smart phone as a wireless hotspot for a month.

Slowey and Buscher…and Johan!
Kevin Slowey was on his way to a smooth first outing. He struck out David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez to open the fourth, and it seemed like everything I heard about Slowey in camp was true: He found some extra movement.
But then came a single by Mike Lowell and a two-run homer by Kevin Youkilis. Slowey couldn't even get out of the inning, as Gardy had to bring in Brian Bass to get the final out.
"He kept trying to overthrow the ball," Gardy said.
Brian Buscher impressed, making a nice stab of Youkilis' hot grounder in the fifth and crushed a ball over the right field wall in the sixth – the first Twins' RBI of the spring. Gardy backed up what other Twins officials have said about him.
"He's kind of come here on a mission," Gardy said.
Now, just in case anyone missed it. That's right. Juan Gonzalez took Johan Santana deep for a three-run homer today…Santana's quotes look very familiar….
