Taliban have money problems
Friday - 9/3/2010, 10:40am EDT
A Marine two-star general says the Taliban is experiencing a serious cash flow problem after losing an estimated half of its annual revenue from the drug trade in southern Afghanistan. The Associated Press reported Maj. Gen. Richard Mills says intelligence reports suggest that last year's poppy blight and government eradication efforts are keeping the Taliban from buying weapons and other supplies. Mills said at a news conference at the Pentagon U.S. troops still have a tough fight on their hands in Marjah.

Who Knew A ZADF Story Chptr 6It has been two weeks since the friendship was made official. And every night Dib would dream off all the good things that would happen to Zim
but never the bad.He dreamt of the good times they had together, and what Zim eats and all the silent hugs Zim has with Gir. He dreams of the times when Zim goes out to steal those Chaco Tacos for Gir. He dreams of the times when Zim only fells good inside and he feels these good, warm, fuzzy feelings to.Zim often talks to Gir, about past times and things that have happened before Gir and Zim met and Dib dreamt about these conversations. Almost all of them
He is still oblivious to Zim leaving, or the mission, or the girls in which Zim has to save.Dib does, in fact, know of Zim's Brother Dax, dead sister Zeema, his Parent-units, family-unit, the Tallest and many other things of his life. But anything to do with the mission or the girls is, for some reason, blocked.Dib now knew Zim better, he knew of the mistakes he has made, the w
Who Knew A ZADF Story Chptr 7Zim couldn't wait to go to this
sleepover. Exciting! He had told Gir he was coming, and Gir jumped with glee.Dib had given a note to Zim listing everything that he needed to bring to the sleepover, after skool.1. Sleeping bag.2. Radio3. Night goggles4. Garlic5. Stake6. Silver bullet7. Small sleeping bag for GirZim had looked up before what a sleeping bag was and he now knew what it is used for. He had called the computer and told it to make two sleeping bags during skool.Now, at home, he packed what was needed. He put the bullet, goggles, stake, and radio in his PAK. He put the Garlic in a bag and put it in his PAK. Then asked the computer where the sleeping bags were.The computer dropped the two perfectly made sleeping bags. One was blue like Gir's eyes, with a black Irken symbol on the front and the other, the one for Zim, was red and had the Irken symbol on the front. Zim grabbed the bags and went to the elevator. He went down to his room and hurried and got a pair
Who Knew: A ZADF Story Chpt 1Everything is on fire. The skool, the buildings, my house
. The world
.I'm standing in the street watching the chaos. A half-dead man crawls towards me. He looks up and reaches to me. "Help me!" he pleads. I would, but he is already dead at my feet. I back away.I tried, I really did. But I guess it wasn't enough. This is all Zim's fault! He did this! I tried to stop him, I always have, but the world thought I was crazy! They called me insane! Now they believe me and the world is ruled by Zim and the Irken race.I fall to my knees and cry out in pain. The blood seeps down my back, from the wound Zim created."You should have left, Dib. Now you are dead!" Zim cackles. "Mwah hahahahahahahahahaha!"Dib wakes up scared and sweat staining the bed. He searches in the dark to find his glasses. When he does he checks the time. 6 o'clock. He should be getting up now anyways, so he goes downstairs to get some cereal.He shuffles down the stairs and goes into the kitchen. Gaz is alread
Who Knew A ZADF Story Chpt 2Dib walked straight to his room when he got home, to cover up all the cameras, hand cuffs and Alien hurting devices he had stored there. He didn't want to scare Zim away. Why? He still didn't know, he just figured Zim would leave if he saw the lasers, choking devices, many hand cuffs, plans to stop Zim's plans and spying equipment.When he was done throwing the junk in his closet, under his bad, in his drawers and anywhere else the stuff could fit, he went down stairs to make him and Gaz afternoon snacks; he didn't want Zim to see him eat, considering Zim doesn't eat.Zim entered his base, only to be crashed down by a flying Gir."MASTER!!! I MISSSSED YOU!!! Did you miss MEEE?!?!""Get off Gir!" Zim pushed the robot off. Gir just bounced off happily to the kitchen.Zim walked over to the couched and sat, down. "Gir! Did My Tallest call while I was at skool today?""YES! Wait a minute
. NO!" the robot bounded in with a block of cheese and sat down by Zim. He pulled a cheese grader
Who Knew A ZADF Story Chptr 8It was a few minute after Zim and Dib left and Gaz was sure they were gone. Gir was still latched onto her stomach and she just looked at him lovingly."Gazzems? Do you want a Chaco Taco?!" Gir looked up at her.Gaz had heard a lot about Chaco Tacos from Zim, but she'd never tasted one. "OK."Gir got all excited and let go of Gaz. He leapt up and opened his head. He grabbed out two Chaco Tacos and handed one to her. Then he sat down and started to eat his. Gaz looked at hers with slight curiosity and took a bite. It was chocolaty, with a nut-creamy texture to it. The waffle shell was tough, but easy to chomp through. She sighed with delight and took another bite.They ate in silence. When they were finished Gaz went to the tent door and looked back. "Do you want to come?" She asked."Yes!" Gir leapt up and ran to her. He hugged her and it almost knocked her down. "Were is we goin'?" he asked."To the small creek laky thing to wash up.""Oh! Sounds fun!" They walked together to the smal
Who Knew a ZADF Story Chptr 4"Gir I am home!" Zim called, shutting the door to his base behind him.A Squeal came from the couch and before Zim could do anything Gir came flying at him with Taco pieces on his face. He hugged him fiercely and didn't give notice to the bag Zim currently held.With an "Oof," Zim heaved back when Gir hit him, but made no move to stop him or get free of the hug that was killing his squeedily spooch. After a second he tried to struggle free, but he knew it was a losing battle and gave into the hug. Before he would never have even thought of hugging anybody, much less Gir, but thoughts of the approaching mission had made him somewhat soft on the little creature. And Dib
And Gaz.The tunes from the TV played the Bloaty's Pizza Hog song. After a moment of hugging the robot, Zim grew impatient. He had gone by Crazy Taco and got something for Gir. Something that hasn't even came out yet, and wouldn't for another 3 months; the time of which Zim would be long gone.He had to s
Who Knew A ZADF Story Chptr 10Zim and Dib ran into the tent, huffing and puffing. Dib stopped short when he saw Gaz and Gir asleep. He nudged Zim with an elbow and Zim looked up to see them. Dib was shocked to see Zim only smile softly and gaze upon the two with sorrow.Dib looked back at Gaz and Gir, and he was sure that if Gaz woke up she would break the poor robot and kill both Zim and Dib for seeing them asleep like that, but with everything that has happened; he didn't know what to think. He watched as Zim went over to them and softly picked up Gir and laid him inside Gir's sleeping bag.Zim then walked over to Dib. "Don't worry about them. I'm sure Gir went over there after Gaz fell asleep. At least now she won't kill anyone." Dib nodded in agreement. He stopped and held his neck as a stabbing pain shot through his body. He then realized that they were both still beat up from the fight."M-m-a-a-a

"Where is you gunna go, Master?!" he squealed into Zim's leg."I'm going to the Dib monkeys house," Zim answered.Gir looked up with a confused look on his face. "Wait right here Master, Imma get something for you!" He ran off to the kitchen, leaving Zim to stand awaiting the poor robot. Gir skipped back into the room holding something behind his back. He skipped right up to Zim and held out the contents of his master's disguise. "Here you go, Master!"Zim gasped. He was so caught up in thinking about the girls, the mission, The Tallest and Dib that he forgot his disguise. He reached down and took the wig and contacts. He set the wig in place on his head and carefully plopped the contacts into his eyes. "Thank you, Gir," he smiled, which was rare. He never smiles much and never says 'Thank you'. He reached down and patted the robots metal head. "If it weren't for you, I would have walked out the door with
Who Knew A ZADF Story Chptr 16Zim thought about what he read. He re-read it over and over again in his mind. 'Maybe this is why I shouldn't have friends
But Gaz never hurt me
I guess it's not all bad.' Zim thinks to himself. Zim did, in fact, hear the 'Wait!' Dib shouted, but he ignored him. Zim was on the couch and Gir was asleep in his lap. It has been an hour since he left and Dib has called him repeatedly since he left. Zim had also got word that skool was to end on Tuesday, not Friday; so Zim only had two days until he leaves for his mission.'I guess I'm going to skip skool tomorrow. I really don't want to see Dib.' Zim decided. He then went to sleep, and went through dreams; not to wake until Tuesday morning...***Dib was at home and attempting to call Zim again. "Hello! This is the MIGHTY ZIM! I'm not home right now, filthy meat bag! So leave a message and maybe I won't totally ignore you!" Beeep!!!Voice mail again. Dib then stopped trying to call; knowing it was a bitter failure to try. 'I sh
Will I...? ZADF Story Chptr 1Zim walks back and fourth in his lab under his base "My plans are great, but they never work 'cause of that worm baby, DIB!""Kill him, Master," Gir squeals, walking into the room."No! Why would you say that?" Zim asks strangely angry. Gir just shrugs. "I can't kill him
yet. He may be useful in the future. No I can't kill him for I have an idea!" Zim yells, raising a fist to the air."I shall gain his trust," Zim gulps and shivers, "and become his FRIEND'' Zim spats the word."Fine! No blood splatter! But maybe some ketchup on the waffles?" Gir mumbles to himself."You know, I think I should take a look at your intelligence chip sometime.""So why is you gunna be his friend?" Gir stupidly asks."Because, Gir, he is smarter than most stupid meat bags on the dirt ball, and he seems to be the only one who can see me as an alien. Everyone else is just too stupid. Except for Gaz, but she doesn't care. And I could use his smart goo. The many smart goo, that fills his big head of smell,
Zim's AntennaeZim's AntennaeGaz glared at her brother from the back of Zim's underground lab, he had broken in and decided to bring her along for the fun of it she guessed.Dib and Zim were having a go at each other, yelling empty threats back and forth, Gaz wondered if they ever got board of the same routine every day.She sighed and leaned against the wall behind her, as her eyes swept across the room she looked at the advanced alien technology that mankind could never dream of accomplishing, wondering what idiot race would trust Zim with it all, even GIR seemed to much a handful to him.When Gaz finished her little tour she gazed at the back of Zim's head and listened to the argument going on."Stoopid Human! You think that you can come in here and infiltrate Zim's Top Secret lair!?" Gaz always wondered why he talked in 3rd person, 'Must be a pride thing of something…' she thought absentmindedly.Then she noticed them, the two
I hate you-ZaDr Chapter 1"What is it?" A large purple alien with tentacles asked as it peeked through the bars of a certain scythe haired teen's cage."It's a human, a very rare find nowadays...which means it's far more than you can afford." The salesman said, shooing the poor alien away with his claw like hands.This was how it was every day, the human was packed up in his cage and set out like an item to be bought and people who noticed him were always too poor to buy him. The human had used to struggle and scream at the salesman in a strange language that nobody in their right minds knew, but after a couple of beatings he'd been silenced and he now obediantly sat in his cage cross legged, not even bothering to look up from his lap. Most would believe he was dead were it not for the calm rise and fall of his chest and occasional sick cough that escaped him. He was clothed in the skinny jeans he had been found in years ago and they were stained, ripped, and much to small for him."Well, how much is he?" A voi
Invader Zim Chapter 1Invader Zim - Through the Fangirl's Twisted Mind*PLZNOTE* This is not the canon IZ we all know and love. This is what IZ would be like if the fangirls designed it. So please don't complain. Jhonen Vasquez, in the unlikely event you are reading this, please don't, as we don't want you to have a stroke.Chapter One: Over the RadioDib's radio was picking up an odd signal. He turned the knob a little to the left. A little to the right. There was a short whine, and the sound came through clear. "Your turn, Zim," said an odd voice - it was high and low at the same time. "You've been assigned to...Earth. One more thing, Zim. This is NOT a regular conquer mission...it's a-" The signal faded out. Dib's eyes widened. This wasn't what he thought it was, was it? It had to be. Dib packed up his radio as quickly as possible and slid off the roof,
'IB' - Chapter FourChapter FourSoon all of Zim's tremors just seemed to halt. He pulled himself back up onto all fours, extending his head up with his neck still cocked at an awkward angle so he could see Dib's face. He parted his lips into the grin again, beginning to screech out in a single laughter with that eerie 'e' sound again.The sight of that haunting grin seemed to paralyze the boy as he slowly let himself down to the floor, wrapping himself in a fetal position as he rocked himself very stiffly as if to comfort himself. Violent shivers also shook him as the cackle rung in his ears as they only intensified the dread he was already feeling.Zim slowly began to drag himself over to him, seeing him as wounded prey now. His limbs still had trouble taking turns, looking even more like a creature in dire need of an exorcism.Dib's eyes expanded as the other drew closer to him. He didn't blink now since in his mind, blinking only made him made him more vulnerable than he already was, even though he wo

Ms. Bitters lectured, yelled at people, along with all the other usual things. It was average as average got...that is, until the principal came in. He and Ms. Bitters spoke in hushed tones, until she nodded and he left the room. Ms. Bitters spoke up in her loud, screechy voice, "Class, we have a new student joining us. Please be welcoming, as he might not be as bad as you kids turned out. Now come on in, whatever your name is." The door cracked open, and the new kid stepped in. Everyone's mouths dropped open. The new kid was AWESOME, and he hadn't even spoken a single word yet. He was very pale with black hair and blue-gray eyes, and he wore a nicely fitting long-sleeved shirt with an odd symbol on it - it
Invader zim: Hi-Skool (chapter 3)Zim sat on the floor; his purple bulbs of eyes looked sad and were down cased. It's been weeks since he had set a single foot in the transmissions room, and he could not believe the state he left it in.The transmissions screen, in which he used to talk to the tallest on, was broken, and dirty with dust and some sort of mashed potatoes.The floor was now covered in batter, flour, and other things GIR carried around with him. Zim stood, no longer too much in shock to walk around.He placed his three fingered hand on the screen and a lone tear began to run down his cheek. He stayed like that for a moment before tearing away his hand. The memories in his mind assaulted him with guilt sadness and regret. He could not believe what he had gone though, for just a petty lie."Zim needs no one." He said to himself, "Zim will show them. ZIM will show them that he isn't inferior, isn't insane!" He screamed.He then kicked a wall and sat back down on the ground, rocking back and forth s
'IB' - Chapter SevenChapter SevenDib stared at Zim wide-eyed in panic as he approached him slowly, backing up a few clumsy steps before bumping into the fence behind him. He looked over his shoulder and eye it, dreading the fact that he had to climb the damned thing if he wanted to avoid the same fate his teacher had met.After glancing back at Zim another time, seeing that he was getting closer to him quicker than he thought, he turned and faced the fence and backed up a few steps. He drew a shaky breath before running at it and making a leap as he got close to the fence, grunting as he hit it and started his desperate climb.A screech of obvious rage exploded from the hobbling being that was trailing far behind his escaping form. "IB!!!!" The name practically pierced through the air as wild eyes, even through those contacts, locked onto him frighteningly and his arms outstretched in a dire want to rip the other from the rusty chained fence.The screech shook the boy, causing his grip to sli
Dying Tonight-ZaDr part 3The human was banging loudly on the door to Zim's house, each knock resounding in an almost eery way into the empty base...not even answered by the insane robot who had surely been deactivated the second the irken had died. "ZIM I KNOW YOU'RE HOME, ANSWER THE FUCKING DOOR!" He screamed, trying and once again failing to kick the electronically locked barrier. "DAMNIT!" He yelled furiously as he plopped down on the front step. Why wouldn't the alien answer his door? Usually he at least had Gir try and keep him busy. He sighed, running a hand through his tossled hair, it looked like he was going to have to use a different entrance.The teen stood up and began circling the house as he looked for at least a window or something that wouldn't be noticed if broken..but it wasn't like anybody would notice if it was the front windows anyway, people on this planet were just plain stupid. Dib gave an exhasperated huff when he found no such window and was about to go back to knocking on the door an
Who Knew A ZADF Story Chptr 5Waking up was easy for Dib today, for he had no bad dreams last night.I wonder why I haven't had a bad dream tonight, he thought to himself. I did dream though
I like these dreams better though.He did, in fact, have dreams, plenty of them. None bad, all good; and all about the time he spent with Zim last night. He dreamed of the games, of the way Zim stood up to Gaz, even if he couldn't. He dreamt of things that never happened, or at least not to him. He dreamt of Zim stealing something called Chaco Tacos from Crazy Taco at night in a ninja suit. He dreamt of Gir hugging Zim when he got home and Zim hugging back and the delicious chocolate popcorn Zim ate on the couch; the smell, taste and feel it gave Zim in his mouth. He was never there, but he dreamt of all the good things that happened to Zim the night before.Before Zim got his old, tired, mature look, before the bags under Zim's eyes appeared. Before he went down into the room to think of the girls before bed, before the

Religion of the NRF
Are they Catholic? I see news reports that state they went to Mass, but I thought they were Lutheran.
Norwegian Royals are Lutheran, not Catholic. I don't think being Lutheran means not having any church services.
Oh sorry... I thought only Catholics called their services Mass.
I saw that, too - I think the photos were just incorrectly captioned, or the captions were poorly translated. The NRF are Lutherans, and Lutherans don't call services masses.
well yes, I was confused about that too.
Several captions said the Royals were attending the "mass"; which is not correct...
...but actually many people nowadays say "mass" when they mean church services... no matter if they talk about catholic or protestant church services.
Maybe that's also why the caption says "mass". At Norwegian pages you don't find that expression. They only say "church service" - which is correct.
I'm not quite sure about the situation in the Lutheran Church of Norway (don't know if that's the right name) but in Finland the Lutheran church service has been called "mass" for a few years. Might be that way in Norway as well.
At the beginning it sounded a bit odd to me because I linked the word "mass" with the Catholic Church (no offence here on my part) but now I'm used to it.
The Norwegian royal family is Lutheran, as been mentioned above. In the Lutheran churches there are two different kinds of religious services, one is (in Norwegian) gudsteneste, the more common church service without communion/nattverd, the other is messe when there is a communion/nattverd.

Santa hasn't been that good to Casey Anthony this year -- he's decided to bring her another lawsuit. This stocking full of coal is in the form of a defamation suit filed Roy Kronk, the meter reader who found Caylee's decomposed body in the woods 6 months after her disappearance. Kronk claims that he was defamed by Casey's defense team, citing that her lawyers used language like "Roy Kronk is the killer", "Roy Kronk is a childsnatcher" and "Roy Kronk is guilty" to help defend their client.
He's now seeking punitive and other damages, and I hope he gets everything he's asking for.
Because this was such a highly publicized case that drew the entire nation's attention, I think Kronk has every right to seek restitution. He never got a retraction from Casey's team so it makes sense that he's still pretty bitter about the whole experience. Even if he allegedly claimed he'd get "rich and famous" after finding Caylee's body, it doesn't mean that he doesn't have a chance to get what's owed to him.
Even though Casey Anthony was acquitted, she and her legal team are still culpable for any mistakes they made while mounting their defense. I don't think you can just go around willy-nilly accusing people of killing babies, so Kronk likely has a shot at getting some compensation for their carelessness.
And giving up money is something Casey should get used to -- Kronk isn't the only person who's filed a lawsuit against her. Zenaida Gonzalez has also sued for defamation since Casey once claimed that a woman with that name had kidnapped Cayley. Casey had made up the woman and the name, but there was a real Zenaida Gonzalez, and she's none to pleased by the reference. A search and rescue team is also suing Casey, claiming they spent over 100 grand on their fruitless efforts.
It will be interesting to see what Casey, who's rumored to be pitching an interview to a network that will pay her $750,000, will be ordered to fork over if the judge sees it Kronk's way. No matter what the outcome, though, it doesn't change the fact that countless people were hurt and damaged by Casey's trial, not the least of whom was Caylee.
Do you think Klonk deserves damages?
Photo via Orange County Jail
God, she is so freaking ugly. Inside and out...but onto what the article is about...I think Klonk deserves something from the defenses countless comments and accusations about how he somehow had something to do with Caylee's death. Also the Zenaida lady should get something too, heck...even the search and rescue team should as well! I think Casey got off WAY too easily and deserves any hardship that comes her way. Ok, I am done. Sorry, I haven't thought of that dispicable woman for a while now and when I read this all my emotions just went crazy. RIP Caylee.
Yes I do!!!

Obama remains a mystery man, and yet he is our president. How did this happen? Rather than focusing on uncovering his past alone, solving his questionable Social Security number, working to unseal his college papers, etc., why not have a grass-roots online petition campaign for regular legal American citizens to demand removal of Obama's name from the general election if he will not immediately unseal all those past records?
"If no complete, immediate release of all genuine proof of past identification and eligibility by Obama, then remove Obama from presidential office and from the upcoming presidential candidacy."
I would sign that ditty.

On the back of your appliance, you will find
a label describing the power requirements. You should see
a label describing the Wattage (W) or the Amperage (A) of
the appliance. Once noted, choose a voltage transformer /
converter which can handle a higher amount of wattage then
your device is rated at. Certain devices which are motor based
may require additional power to start up then indicated (know
as Surge), in this case always add an extra 20% to the power
requirements of your device.
Back to the 220 Volt Appliances page
to Top]
To connect a television to a converter you
must choose a converter more powerful that what is indicated
at the rear of your TV set, because it creates a surge when
it is turned on. We would recommend the VC750 for any TV or Monitor.
No you cannot connect an American 220 Volt
Dryer or other 220 volt american products to a Transformer. Voltage Transformers are made to convert single phase 110 or 220 volt. American
220 volt consists of 2 phase of 110 volt and European 220
volt consists of 1 phase of 220 volt.
[ Back to Top ]
If the label does not specify the wattage,
but you know the Amperage (A), you can calculate it using
the following formula: Amps (A) * voltage (V) = Watts
3 Amps * 220 volt = 660 watts
3 Amps * 110 volt = 330 watts
[ Back
to Top ]
Yes as long as you don't exceed the Wattage
capacity of the voltage converter.
A "surge protector" is required. You can find them
on this web-site as well.
If you want to operate 2 appliances on one transformer.
One of them consumes 300 watts and the other 130 watts then
you would need a VC-500 (500
watts capacity) or higher.
A voltage
regulator functions as a voltage
converter as well as a voltage stabilizer.
A voltage stabilizer will stabilize the
electricity to fixed current.
This unit is usually used in countries where
the voltage currency is not stable.
The voltage
regulator will stabilize a voltage fluctuation between
75v-130v to 110v (+- 4%).
The voltage regulator will stabilize a voltage fluctuation between 180v-260v to
220v (+- 4%)
All voltage
converters only convert the voltage and not the cycle,
however most appliances and electronics will function properly
with them.
The VC transformers have an American plug
on the picture, but I want to use them Overseas..
VC model transformers come with
an American-to-European plug adapter GS20 (American input and output of 2 Round pin grounded).
You can find additional types of "plug
adapters" on the web-site or view our Voltage
Guide to find out which plug a given coutry uses.

Yes, you can connect it directly to the VC
series transformers since they come with a UNIVERSAL outlet
which can accept any 220 Volt/50Hz (overseas) plug type except
for the South African plug.
North American 110-120 volt electricity
is generated at 60 Hz. (Cycles) Alternating Current. Most
foreign 220-240 volt electricity is generated at 50 Hz. (Cycles)
Alternating Current. This difference in cycles may cause the
motor in your 60 Hz. North American appliance to operate slightly
slower when used on 50 Hz. foreign electricity. This cycle
difference will also cause analog clocks and timing circuits
that use Alternating Current as a timing base to keep incorrect
time. Most modern electronic equipment including battery chargers,
computers, printers, stereos, tape and CD players, VCR/DVD
players, etc. will not be affected by the difference in cycles.
What is the difference between Servo and
Relay type voltage regulators?
The Servo type voltage
regulators,stabilizes the voltage by adjusting the transformer
to the desired output voltage. This ensures the highest precision
in voltage stabilization. The relay type is all done electronically,
therefore less precision.

The Note15 Reviews
Monica talks to the girls about their aunt. Gerard calls with disturbing news.
Kara sat across from her mother and Kelly who were seated on the sofa. Silently she watched her mom wondering once more what had really happened that day. She had loved her father very much but now the truth about him was revealed and she was questioning so much. Kelly knew something has been wrong but she was blocking things out trying to remember only good memories about him. Kara noticed how her mom glanced at her and she knew in her heart that something very bad had happened the day he died.
"So I shouldn't talk to Aunt Jenn?" Kelly asked.
Monica sighed "Honey, if she wants to talk to you I want to be there too. OK?"
She smiled trying to make sure Kelly understood without frightening her.
Kelly looked down at her Etnies and sighed, "I saw her today in front of the school. I was going in and was late so I didn't stop and I don't think she saw me."
Monica was surprised but tried not to sound as concerned as she felt, "She was in front of the school? Are you sure?"
"Yea, she was standing there looking around. I guess she was looking for me but I was late for Art class so I didn't say anything to her. Mom, can't you just talk to her and tell her you didn't have anything to do with daddy's death?"
Monica's heart felt heavy. She had tried so hard to keep all of this from her daughters. "Honey it isn't that easy. Look I just need you to promise me you will stay away from her at least until I can talk to her." Monica did want to talk to Jenn to ask her why the hell she was in Jersey.
Kelly still looked confused and hurt, "But mom you must think this is pretty serious. You weren't supposed to come home yet. Did you think you had to come cause you thought I was in danger?"
Monica was getting a headache and this conversation wasn't helping, "Honey, I missed you girls. I wanted to make sure everything was OK"
Kara spoke up, "But you really didn't need to come home. I can take care of things you know" She gave her mom a look that told her she understood.
"Kara, I am very proud of you, and I trust you could take care of your sister." She wanted to change the subject "So would you two like to hear some wonderful news?"
Both girls looked at her waiting. "What is it mama?" Kelly looked excited.
"Gerard asked me to marry him and I said yes" She held up her finger so they could see the beautiful engagement ring.
Neither girl spoke for a moment digesting the news. Finally Kelly spoke first, "Mama that's great. I'm so happy. I just knew he would." She spoke quickly, "Oh man I'm gonna have a famous step dad." She moved closer to take a look at the ring.
Monica looked over at Kara trying to gauge her reaction. She was smiling one of her knowing smiles. "That's great mom. You are Gerard are so much in love, I can tell. When did he ask you?"
"When we were in Denver. It was very romantic and very personal," she added to ward off too many questions.
"Translation, she isn't going to give us anymore details" Kara told Kelly laughing. "So Bob has known this and he didn't tell me."
Monica shook her head, "I asked him not to. I wanted to tell you girls myself, so don't be mad at him. He already has gotten teased by Gee who told him he will have to get permission from him to marry his daughter."
Kara thought a moment and giggled; "I bet that got him" She quickly grew more somber, "Of course we really aren't his daughters."
This comment seemed to upset Kelly, "But we will be his daughters sort of. I mean we will be his step-daughters."
Monica wanted them to understand how Gerard felt towards them, "Gee said he already thinks of you two as his daughters. He hopes you will accept him."
Kara looked unconvinced, "Why would he want two teen-age daughters?"
"He told me he wants is all to be happy, that we are all going to be a family. He and I are going to look for a place of our own and he even thought about how we have to stay in the same area so you won't have to change schools."
"That was nice of him' Kara said, "When are you going to look for this place?"
"The band has four more dates then they will be home for ten days. He said we would look then. She noticed Kara's look and laughed, "OK of course you know how many more dates they have. I'm sure you are counting the hours until Bob gets back" Kara nodded with a smile. Monica continued, "don't you think it will be nice if we have a place of our own together?"
Kelly smiled "Yea, but when are you two going to get married?" She had visions of a huge wedding in her head.
Monica realized she had no answer to that question, she and Gee had so many thing going on they hadn't even talked out a wedding date. "Well I'm not sure. We haven't really talked about that yet. With the tour and all things are just sort of crazy."
Monica phone alerted her to a call. Gerard's voice sounded strange. "Monica I need to talk to you." He said as soon as she answered.
"I was just telling the girls that we are getting married," she explained.
"Oh, that's great" he sounded distracted. "Can you go someplace where they won't overhear the conversation?"
Now Monica was worried, "Sure honey, just a sec" She smiled at the girls "I'm going to take this downstairs" They both nodded their understanding.
Once Monica was downstairs behind a closed door she asked, "Gee, what's wrong? Are you OK?"
His voice was weary, "Monica I really wish I could be there."
"Gee you are scaring me, what happened?"
He sighed, "Brian just called me. He wanted to get my take on something before he spoke to you. A letter was left at his office. It said that it hoped Gerard had said his final goodbye to Monica cause it would be the last time he would ever see her."
Monica felt the room tilt. "Oh shit. Did it say anything else?"
"Nothing. Brian has already called the police. They took it to dust for fingerprints. Monica I can't stand this. I want to be there to protect you. Instead I'm fucking thousands of miles away."
Monica tried to quell her fears. Her first thought was Gee. "Honey, please I promise I will be fine. This has got to be Jenn, she is just trying to scare me. Don't let her upset you. That's what she wants. You have to keep your mind on the tour."
"Fuck the tour, Monica' he shouted. "You are more important that this tour."
Monica closed her eyes and gathered her strength, "Gerard, stop it. Don't say that, I know I am more important to you than the tour. But we won't live in fear. I did that too many years. We won't let someone make us live in fear. Your tour is a big part of your life. You live for what you are doing. So many people depend on you. Think of your fans. This is a hollow threat. I will be careful I'm not the same person I was before. I am a strong person who isn't going to take any shit off of anyone especially Jenn. Please Gee promise me you won't let this ruin one minute of the tour for you. You will be home soon anyway." She hoped her words would calm him.
"Yea, for ten fucking days and then I leave again. What kind of life am I offering you?" He was beginning to doubt all the things that just hours ago he had believed.
Monica felt a tear escape from her eye, "The kind of life I want. I knew when I agreed to marry you the kind of life we would have. You will be gone a lot and I accept that. It's your life and I wouldn't want it to change for the world. I love you Gee."
His anger had turned to sadness, "I love you, Monica. Just promise me you will be careful."
She smiled sadly, "You just promise me you will get on that stage tonight and be the Gerard Way that your fans love. It will all be alright, I promise."
He tried to believe her but this feelings were so dark, "On stage I will be fine, honey. It's knowing that tonight when I lay in my bunk it will be without you at my side, that I hate."
"I will hate not being at your side, too. Just remember how much I love you. We will get through all this Gee."
He mumbled he loved her and hung up. Monica hung her head and cried.

If you would like to initiate mediation contact Aresolution on 08 9467 5996. Aresolution Pty Ltd. Ground Floor 185 High St Fremantle, Perth Western Australia
Within the family court the language has changed from 'child custody' to 'shared care' and 'shared parental responsibility'. What this means is that there is a push for both parents to 'share the care' and parental responsibility.
When children are treated as an 'entitlement' or 'tool' in the separation process it hurts them. Children see themselves as being half of their Mum and half of their Dad.
Depending on the developmental age of the child, you may find that 'sole care' is not necessarily in their best interests.
When one parent wins and the other loses, everyone suffers, even the children.
To find out more information about the development needs of your child and how you can minimise the impact of conflict on them you should arrange a post-separation parenting session or child-focused session. You can find out more about your legal rights by contacting a family lawyer and a family dispute resolution practitioner can help you negotiate a parenting plan with your ex.

What does Green mean to you?
'Green' is a color, the perception of which is evoked by light having a spectrum dominated by energy with a wavelength of roughly 520-570 nanometers. In our life, 'Green' has a variety of meanings as follows: In some cultures, 'Green' means hope and growth, but it also means death, sickness, envy, or the devil or both depending on the context in different cultures; all the meanings are belong to the nature.
Travel is like a miniature life.
Life is often likened to a journey. When we travel some strange places, we may feel the joy, anger, sorrow and happiness. Strange culture and scenery is not familiar, but we can learn a value of our daily life, the familiar, from them. Sometimes You may lost your way or may face some unexpected difficulties on your journey…

SAN FRANCISCO – Braves pitcher Tommy Hanson was hit in the eye by a batted ball that caromed off the ground during batting practice, but said he would make his scheduled Game 2 start Friday in the National League Division Series against San Francisco.
The right-hander was hitting in the batting cage before Thursday's series opener at AT&T Park when he hit a ball that caromed off a pad on the ground and back into his face. He left the field immediately to be checked out, and was expected to see an eye doctor as a precaution.
A small mark was visiable above Hanson's right eye, but he was checked out and cleared to pitch.
"11 for 6″ is Braves' postseason slogan
When Braves players entered the visitor's clubhouse Thursday, then found T-shirts emblazoned with a simple slogan: 11 for 6. It meant 11 postseason wins for a World Series title for Cox (No. 6) in his final postseason as manager.
"We've had some awesome T-shirts this year," infielder Brooks Conrad said.
Conrad said he didn't know who had the shirts made, and backup catcher David Ross, frequent ringleader in such matters, said he wasn't responsible this time.
"I think this whole season has been special, to be able to play for him, especially in his last year," said Tommy Hanson, the Braves' Game 2 starter Friday. "I don't think we're thinking about that too much, we obviously want to take it one step at a time. But that would be awesome to be able to do that [for Cox]."
Diaz in left field
Even though the Braves faced right-hander Matt Lincecum in Game 1 Thursday, Matt Diaz got the start in left field instead of slumping Nate McLouth or Melky Cabrera.
"Matty started the last game in Atlanta and hit balls hard, two of them I think were off right-handers," Cox said. " If Matty gets hot, he's going to hit lefties, righties, it doesn't make any difference. We had to pick one, and the coaching staff and I picked him."
Diaz was 1-for-3 against Lincecum before Thursday, while McLouth and Cabrera were each 1-for-6 against him, including four strikeouts for McLouth.
McLouth was 11-for-30 (.367) with seven extra-base hits (3 HRs) and 10 RBI in 10 games thru Sept. 18, but 4-for-24 with no extra-base hits and no RBI in 10 games since.

11:18 pm
11 for 6? Is that Conrad's errors and unearned runs allowed?
October 8th, 2010
12:01 am
11 is probably the amount of hits the Braves will have the entire postseason(LMAO).
October 8th, 2010
12:12 am
Braves made Lincecum look like Nolan Ryan. I wish Jason Hayward would worry more about hitting the ball instead of fixing his shirt. What ever happened to get them on, get them over, get them in.
October 8th, 2010
12:12 am
Good job Braves, you turned about 75 balls into strikes. I have never seen a team swing at so many 58 foot pitches in my life. If they get to see Mitch Kramer again, make him throw the ball OVER THE PLATE!!!!!!!
October 8th, 2010
12:12 am
"11 is probably the amount of hits the Braves will have the entire postseason(LMAO)"
11 hits by the offense and 6 runs given up by the pitching staff
October 8th, 2010

Hey Philsfan, its called class, look it up, you and your fans could use a TON of it.
October 8th, 2010
12:14 am
Kept surfing the channels looking for the braves playing tonight, but only found San Fran ! Bobby blunders again……….walk the free swinger to get to the guy that's gonna put the ball in play, and it cost him another game…….Lincecum is good, but swinging at balls in the dirt or over your head did the most damage. 2 more errors….what a shocker……and believe it or not, I am a Braves fan !
October 8th, 2010
12:18 am
"Cody Ross singled in a run in the fourth after Buster Posey was called safe on a steal of second by umpire Paul Emmel. Posey appeared to be tagged out by Brooks Conrad on the play."
Wed got absolutely Hosed on that call. Cost us the game
October 8th, 2010
12:22 am
Swinging at balls in the dirt cost us the game.
October 8th, 2010
12:23 am
This game was served on a platter; still looks to be a good series. I can't quite understand the intentional walk to the overweight guy in a slump.
October 8th, 2010
12:24 am
BMac threw out 2 baserunners tonight. Posey was out by a mile. Cost us the game. Mitch was great but so were our pitchers. We better get a call that big go our way these next couple games.
October 8th, 2010
12:28 am
so frustrating when you cant score. braves hitters looked intimidated. pitchers for braves did great. dont know if braves can score on any of the giants pitchers.
October 8th, 2010
12:37 am
I can't quibble with many of Booby's moves tonight other than walking the Panda.
This one is on the players. Infante has to at least smother than ball and keep the run from scoring.
I'm about ready to see Diory at 3rd and Infante back at 2nd.
October 8th, 2010
12:47 am
Hey Braves fans. Two things:
1) You did get way ripped off on the Posey steal.
2) Please don't think all Phillies fans are trolling losers. Chances are, if someone's hard-up for attention enough to go trolling on another city's baseball blog, his home fans don't like him either. Hope Hanson is OK to pitch and you guys give the Giants what-for.
October 8th, 2010
12:56 am
Great game tonight, if you like good pitching and tight situations. All credit to Lincecum — that was a beauty. And Derek Lowe — just terrific work in a couple of very dire situations. If Posey's steal is correctly called, we would probably still be playing. and wouldn't you know it, our defense lets us down — the Ross hit past Omar would have been snagged by Chipper or Martin, but Omar is a second baseman playing out of position and I'm not going to complain about his effort. Tomorrow is a new day — they won't have a better pitcher than Lincecum, so we'll have a chance, if Tommy Hanson pitches like he's been pitching. (i"m assuming the eye issue won't be a problem). If we can leave San Fran 1-1, I like our chances still.
October 8th, 2010
1:08 am
Yeah, the Braves got hosed but it wasn't like they were ever going to score any runs. Unfortunately, the Braves would have lost tonight anyway. Play Melky and Diaz or even Hinske. Ankiel/McClouth will strike out virtually every time against these pitchers.
October 8th, 2010
1:15 am
D. Lowe pitched great, got out of some tough jams, a still think Hayward is no #2 hitter, he is more a #5 hitter ,I like to see where the new manager bats him next season.
October 8th, 2010
1:21 am
thank you other phils fan
October 8th, 2010
1:44 am
Interesting comment by Posey, " I guess it is good that we don't have instant replay right now. " Neverless you have to look at what Lincecum did . It still comes down to getting the play right. In a 1-0 game with what is at stake is here. For sake of integrity of the game please implement instant replay next year.
I submit that instant replay in baseball would be very right and would not be time consuming like it is in the NFL. The bottom line is these games are too important to have a monumental wronmg call that could detemine the very outcome of the entire series.
It is to important to get it wrong instead of getting it right. Lets implement instant replay in MLB now.
October 8th, 2010
2:28 am
Great to hear something classy from a Philly fan – thanks Other Philly Fan. I may not like your team but I do respect them. Right now they look just ridiculous; impressive. We are just way too depleted. We looked awful at the plate tonight but the ump did not help….
October 8th, 2010
3:19 am
Frankly I'd like to see Troy at third and I got to ask, 'what in blazes is Bobby doing hitting Gonzales fifth. The man is as bad from the right side as Ankiel is from the left. Face it, we've got some huge holes in this lineup that can't be hidden…still we almost, and given a decent call, may very well have won. Nice job Mr. Lowe, you deserved better.
October 8th, 2010
7:53 am
Bad call @ 2nd, those are going to happen, but the lack of knowledge of the K zone was the worst I have ever seen, watching pitches down the middle and swinging at balls in the dirt. Once again Cox overmanaged by walking Panda and undermanaged by not attempting to play small ball when we did have a baserunner. I mean Heyward has to run sometime on a catcher that is one of the worst in the league at throwing runners out. They could have played all night and would not have scored. Please get an aggressive manager next year like the guy in Texas and get a hitting coach who has a clue on how to approach major league hitting.
October 8th, 2010
8:43 am
At least the Braves don't try to buy their rings, like the Phils and Yankees do. I am Ok with whatever happens to the Braves, since I know we do things the right way. This is why baseball and basketball won't be around in the next 20 years, cause the young people out here WILL NOT keep paying to watch teams that buy championships. Period
October 8th, 2010
8:49 am
This braves team is far from a playoff team people. They are going down and fast. No hitting, no fielding, no Prado, Chipper…..The lineup is pittyful and plenty of people know it. They make bad pitchers look good. Runner on 2nd and swinging at 1st pitches and grounding out. They are going noplace. Im not even watching the games. I have moved on to something more important.
See ya next year people, hopefully less McLouth, Ankle, Gonzalez, Lee, Caberea and the rest of the utility players pretending that they belong. But as long as we have Lowe and KK in the starting rotation, dont look for much else. That and Chipper Jones being hurt and sucking up that payroll. He needs to retire and move on so the braves can get some hitters who play everyday.
Go Braves 2011. Thats all we have here people.
October 8th, 2010
9:09 am
2011 Lineup:
Infante CF
Prado 2B
Heyward RF
Werth LF
Jones 3B
McCann C
Freeman 1B
Gonzalez SS
And hopefully an aggressive manager and competent hitting coach.
October 8th, 2010
9:14 am
One game guys. They had their best pitcher going who in case you hadn't noticed won the Cy Young the last two years. We've got Hanson and Hudson going the next two. It's not over yet.
October 8th, 2010
9:16 am
Werth will be worthless next year when he gets a big fat contract. He is helped greatly by the fact he is in the same lineup as Utley and Howard.
October 8th, 2010
9:19 am
I played against Matt Linecum in high school. Even then he was throwing 89-90….and he was a spray hitter…he'd look horrible on one swing, then hit a low liner to right on the next on a pitch off the plate. We used to call him the Freaky Caveman.
October 8th, 2010
9:19 am
Whatever, they make bad pitchers look good? Again, Lincecum may be the best pitcher in baseball.
October 8th, 2010
9:21 am
The Braves wish Matt Lincecum pitched last night
October 8th, 2010
9:27 am
I can't believe what I saw last night. Hey Braves Hitters – A BALL IN THE DIRT IS NOT A STRIKE!!! – I stopped counting at 30 our batters who were swinging at balls in the DIRT or very close to it…
October 8th, 2010
9:32 am
No defense= no win! Infante is a butcher at 3b, Chipper makes that play in his sleep! Worst starting lineup of all 8 playoff teams- no power or speed…
October 8th, 2010
9:38 am
>b>Second base UMPIRE needs to be BENCHED. Look where he is standing runner in first base. How the hell in earth he can watch tag if first base try to steal. That UMPIRE has no umpiring experience the way he is standing behind the mound. He cost us the game.
October 8th, 2010
9:47 am
Who is that 2nd base umpire? Second base UMPIRE needs to be BENCHED. Look where he is standing runner in first base. How the hell in earth he can watch tag if first base rummer try to steal. That UMPIRE has no umpiring experience the way he is standing behind the mound. He cost us the game.
October 8th, 2010
9:54 am
There have been a lot of comments about swinging at balls in the dirt. Folks — when you have two strikes on you, and the ball is coming out of Lincecum's hand looking like another fastball, you HAVE to swing. Let's just credit Lincecum here and move on. Lately, Jason Hayward has shown terrific awareness of the strike zone, and even he was looking bad. That tells me that Lincecum was just plain good. Graet pitching will beat great hitting most of the time, and our hitting isn't great to start with. Even the phillies and the Yanks would have had trouble with Lincecum on last night's form. All in all, we're fine — let's get a win to night and keep going!
October 8th, 2010
10:06 am
Braves are toast. They can barely field a major league lineup. Injuries depleted team for sure but Wren has only added junk -Cabrera, Glaus, Lee, Ankiel, Kawakami, Gonzalez, Farnsworth – and unloaded one of the best SS in MLB. Makes Bobby look like a genius just getting this soft bunch this far.
October 8th, 2010
10:33 am
Y'all do realize that Lincecum won the last two NL Cy Young awards, right? This is like going up against Maddux in his prime. Braves need to pull out wins in next 2 games before we face him again. If not, at least it will be fun watching him go up against Halladay and giving Phils a run for their money. Sorry, Cincy, I think y'all have it tougher than we do…
October 8th, 2010
11:01 am
People, this is a man's sport. While I am as much of a die hard Braves fan, you guys are such crybabies. Go put your favorite dress on and watch the game tonight. WAAAH NO CRYING
October 8th, 2010
11:02 am
As a former baseball player last night disgusted me………I've seen 12 year olds go to the plate with more motivation and a way better approach to what the pitcher is trying to do……..Esp innings 1 – 4 nothing breaking could catch the middle, forget the corners any breaking pitch out of his hand was a ball in the dirt, READ AND REACT OFF THE FASTBALL because that was all over the place also, I'm checking in on one pitch, fastball right down the D$#@# which he threw passed everyone because there waiting on breaking balls in the DIRT….PATHETIC SHOWING LAST NIGHT……..BUT I'M STILL WITH YOU GUYS COME ON BRAVES!!!!!!!!!! COME ON!!!!!!! BETTER AB'S
October 8th, 2010
11:07 am
@Stanley Crowe , That is exactly why you go with an approach, work the count to 2 -1 2- 0 ………if 0-0 first pitch fastball down the D$#@ i'm telling my guys smash it and good luck after 0 – 1, you then have a 50 50 chance at hitting first pitch fast ball and that is the most important pitch vs Lincecum its not 1 – 1 or even 2 – 1 with linecum, THE MOST IMPORTANT COUNT IS 0 – 0, if he gets you 0 -1, expect junk look going the other way that way we are seeing the ball deep, but 1 – 0 YOU ARE IN CONTROL, look fast ball or junk in the dirt simple formula………SEE THE BALL DEEP, GO THE OTHER WAY, CREATES MORE BALANCE WHICH WE CLEARLY DID NOT HAVE….WHICH YOU NEED FOR A JUNK PITCHER WITH A GOOD FASTBALL SUCH AS LINCECUM…..
October 8th, 2010
11:59 am
Can anybody figure out why Bobby didn't walk the hitter that got the winning run home to load the bases and pitch to Lincecum?? At each of his bats, Lincecum showed no signs of being able to touch a D-Lowe pitch, and the worse that could have happened if he'd batted with the bases loaded was a walk.
October 8th, 2010
12:00 pm
I was OK walking King Fu Panda. It worked. Infante booted that play even though it was ruled a hit. The blown call didn't do us in…helped for sure…but not making the play in the Playoffs ended up doing us in. Helping Lincecum out swinging at balls up in the zone did us in. McCann not making the adjustment to the 3-2 curve ball in the dirt after he saw the same exact thing against Jason…Not moving our leadoff double to third with nobody out did us in…BUT at the end of the day, we faced one of the best pitchers in all of baseball. You can't recognize the pitch out of that delivery until its to late. And to top this off THEY only scored ONE run off our staff – and that was umpire and error – aided…Think about that…makes no difference a loss is a loss, but its not like we were smoked out of the park…Don't lose the faith…I think our number 2 and 3 pitchers in this series are going to be better than SF's 2&3. Bullpen is still awesome..Ventors is back (what a DP he threw!)…Hanso makes it through the 1st couple innigs tonight and we win the ball game…if not…well we'll see. Bobby will have a quick hook in case he has to come back…Lowe will be ready now too for a short rest start if needed – and he pitched (and has been pitching) excellent!
October 8th, 2010
12:09 pm
The only celebrating the Braves, will be doing in the playoffs,has been done. When they slide into slide, into the N.L.Wildcard spot. They are the very very best team at ALL times, CHOKING,when it comes to M.L.B. ,playoffs. They have as much chance as winning the National League and World Series. As too the Georgia Bulldogs winning the SEC East. Their chances, are NONE.
October 8th, 2010
12:43 pm
Good call Blue Fox..with first base open and the pitcher up next..it should be an automatic walk! First off, Lincecum can't hardly put the bat on the ball, and it sets up the force at any base. Cox has been doing this since 1991 when he brought in Leibrant to pitch to Kirby Puckett in the World Series. He cannot make playoff decisions!
October 8th, 2010
12:46 pm
Troy Clause stll on the bench……………..Wake up cox…………..
October 8th, 2010
12:52 pm
As a Braves fan, I found it hard to take last night's debacle at the plate…So many Ball 3 and Ball 4 pitches were swung at, and of course, missed..Why Because they were 58 foot pitches! I thought we were facing Brandon Webb again!
PhilsFan is very generous at this point with assigning the Braves 11 hits in the playoffs…With 2 after 1 game, our squad will need to catch fire to reach 11!
I believe this is the key game anyway…Game 2…Come home with a 1-1 split, Braves, and I think we can win this series!

Man, I like Lowe's comments after the game. Posey was out, but umps are going to miss calls; that happens in the game. Just love the character of this group. They will win tonight and suddenly the wild card has home field advantage.
October 8th, 2010
1:24 pm
We are not going to do much with 2 hits whoever is pitching. If we lose today we are in big trouble and it will be sad to see it happen in Atlanta. We lost the post season in September when we were 7 games in front of the Phil's. T.P.needs to be held accountable for some poor hiting down the stretch.

5. Melky Center
6. Glaus 3rd base
7. McClouth LF

Hinske possibly at 3rd, better bat but idk know who is better at D at 3rd. Keep Conrad coming off the bench, he is a college level with the glove that almost cost the braves lastnight.
October 8th, 2010
2:29 pm
Hitting coach — Thanks for the follow-up. What you say seems right to me. It's getting into two-strike situations that causes the problem. It's just that once they're in that situation a pitcher like Lincecum, when he's "on," has hitters at his mercy. If you're suggestions about a better approach earlier in the count would work, then I'm all for them. And I agree with everyone else who says that if we had hit worth a damn, we wouldn't have to worry about the occasional blown call.
It seems to me, by the way, that Lincecum was getting a LOT of high strike calls — I watched the Philly's game earlier and the Cincy pitcher was getting nothing called, it seemed. Of course, I don't know that these "pitch-trak" gizmos are any good. Does anyone have any wisdom about that?
Be all that as it may — this is a team we have beaten and can beat again. Let's get it done!!
October 8th, 2010

October 8th, 2010

Of course the Phillies fans want the Braves to win our series…they've had our number all year when they were at full strength. Even if we beat SF, there's no way we can beat Philly in our current condition. Sad, but true. As a fan of a team in the NL, I would be happy to see an NL East team go to the World Series and win it all. It will soften the blow of losing the division to a World Champion.
October 8th, 2010

we wont get Werth… r u kidding.
October 8th, 2010

I wish we could get a team owner that is actually committed to winning. Liberty Media doesn't seem to care if we win or lose. Hey, Mark Cuban…are you interested in the Braves???
October 8th, 2010
3:04 pm
I'm looking forward to the three hits we get tonight. I hope it's three in a row. ( = 1 run )
October 8th, 2010
3:17 pm
Lack of fundamental baseball will get you beat in the post season every time. What has happened to the get 'em on, get 'em over, get 'em in philosophy? For example, we start the game off last night with a double by Omar Infante. Nobody out, Heyward at bat. With Lowe going against Lincecum, you knew that runs would be at a premium. So why not have Heyward bunting? Why not have Infante stealing? At least try and have Heyward hit to the right side of the infield to move the runner over.
Look how the Giants won the game. Buster Posey (a catcher!!!) gets a base hit, steals second, scores on base hit….ball game. You're telling me that Buster Posey has more speed then Infante? ABC baseball, that is all it is.
I love the Braves, and I support them, but I went to bed after the 6th last night knowing they wouldn't score a run. We don't have the offense to sit around and wait for a 3-run homer anymore. If the Braves are to continue their season, they are going to HAVE to manufacture runs, or it will be over in 4 games.
That is my 2 cents worth.
October 8th, 2010
3:22 pm
hahahahah….you walked the Panda??? Are you kidding me???
I'm a Giants fan and I was incredulous that Cox would walk the Panda to get to Cody. I knew Cody would get a hit! Panda on the other hand….will usually swing at anything when under pressure. of course..when he gets lucky it goes over the fence!
But that was totally a bonehead call to walk Panda!
October 8th, 2010
3:39 pm
When are these guys going to learn that when you are overmatched by a pitcher (almost always lately) you spread out in the box, choke up on the bat and just put the ball in play. Some of them are going to get through. 13 strikeouts is CRAZY.
October 8th, 2010
3:40 pm
Of course the blown call on the Pose OUT at second base allowed the run to score or we might still be playing.
October 8th, 2010
3:41 pm
oops, PoseY
Had they not scored, Lincecum would have been removed in the 7th or 8th for a PH and we would have gotten into their pen.
October 8th, 2010
3:53 pm
That Posey call was horrendous, but I'm optimistic since Hanson can pitch every bit as good as Lowe. The G-men can be shut down, and we're bound to score a run.
Couple of requests though: start Hinske!!!!, swing at first pitch strikes!!!!, steal with guys who can run, and hit and run!!! Must manufacture runs since we don't have any big boppers.
October 8th, 2010
4:08 pm
I'll bet dollars to donuts that the Braves have more errors than runs tonight.
October 8th, 2010
4:15 pm
Get Lee out of the lineup; Hinske @1st, Glaus @3rd; Infante back to 2nd. This isn't brain surgery. Also, bunt, steal, get dirty, make something happen. Since we picked up Gonzalez and Lee, we have gone downhill. I would love to even see Escobar back! Other teams don't trade away old, washed up players for no reason.
October 8th, 2010
4:19 pm
Here is my take in the inning the Giants scored a run. I don't think anyone mention this. In that inning Posey was at 2nd base. Bobby Cox elected to walk Sanoval and that put runners on 2nd & 1st. Well BC should have walked Ross and load the bases. The next batter was Tim L. It was up to Lowe to strike him out or anything and get him out. I don't think BC was thinking that way. Remember when Ross was playing for the Marlins he always got a big hit to beat the Braves.

Number 1 priority for 11- new hitting coach.
October 8th, 2010
4:37 pm
Believe brave, it has nothing to do with lack of support. Are you not smart enough to face facts? By the way, all caps are for kids.
October 8th, 2010
5:30 pm
I just have to LAUGH at the hitting coaches on this board with their half dozen proven strategies for solving Tim Lincecum. Phenomenal. And they sound so serious. Never mind the fact this guy is perhaps the best pitcher in the NL. When he's on as he was last night, there's no chance of beating him.
My take on the Braves comes down to the lineup. Lee is done, as are Ankiel, McClouth, and Gonzalez. All outs. Melky and Glaus are maybes. At least they take their BBs. Mac, Diaz, Omar, and Jayhey are all the bonfides we got. Brooksy is our rabbits foot.
I'd like to be as optimistic as the next die-hard but realistically our lineup would struggle in a AAA world series. Let's all lower our expectations and celebrate Bobby's last few games.
October 8th, 2010
5:41 pm
Oh, and btw, Cox has NEVER been a small ball fundamentals guy, even when we had Lemke, so why are we expecting he'll change now? This is why we are 1-5 in WS play even though we've had 14 post season appearances under his helm. Old #6 ain't gonna change. Certainly not now.
October 8th, 2010
6:09 pm
You Braves fans complaining about a bad call and blaming a playoff meltdown on the umpires? That's pathetic. Hall of Fame umpires don't whine and cry about bad calls, they overcome them.
Excuse me, I have to take a call from Don Denkinger on the eternal torture line.
October 8th, 2010

Excuse me, that's hall of fame managers, not umpires.
October 8th, 2010
6:16 pm
I would love it if the Braves won one maybe two games against the Giants but the history and reality is one and done—for years the Braves have found ways to lose in the playoffs and they keep throwing 14 division titles as a F'ing trophy–its just sad when you look at what this team has done when they do make it to the playoffs. This years team is anemic at offensively. Unless they get uber hot the Bravos and Bobby Cox will go down in flames like they always do.
October 8th, 2010
6:51 pm
It has been said "The team which won the first game of the playoffs would go on the win the series 75% of the time." For the braves, they would lose a series 110% of the time. It would not matter whether they won or lost on the first game because the braves were guaranteed to lose in this kind of situations.

Columbia Helicopters Goes Live with Ramco Offline Data Solution
Ramco Aviation (Booth No. 326) announced Tuesday at Heli-Expo 2014 that longtime customer Columbia Helicopters (Booth 4706) recently began the transition to Ramco's Solution 5.6 integrated suite of maintenance, finance, human resources and payroll tracking software.
The offline capabilities of V5.6 are especially important for Columbia, as the company frequently operates its fleet of twin-rotor heavy-lift helicopters in remote theaters around the world with limited to no data connectivity. The system allows Columbia field stations to collect and retain important personnel and equipment cycle data on site, for later upload to a field headquarters as able. At zero-connectivity locales the operator can save the information on a data card for later shipment to the central office.
Columbia president Stan Wilson noted that Ramco's software has also helped to "coordinate operations within our company. We found that some people were doing things in ways we didn't know about, and this has helped get everyone operating from the same page."
Columbia is the largest operator of and type-certificate holder for the Model 234 commercial variant to the CH-46 Sea Knight and CH-47 Chinook helicopters.
