Doly JoNov 5 2013: This maybe ain't good answer on your question, but I can say that people who are jealous of others aren't jealous about their money, car, etc. In fact, they are most jealous of their happiness, actually of their life satisfaction - ability to enjoy in things you have and ability to appreciate that things.

How is it that a restaurant as spectacular as Casa della Luce escaped my notice for an entire year? The Westerly eatery celebrated its first anniversary in June, but for its first 360 days or so, I didn't even know it existed. If it weren't for the suggestion of a pleasant lady at the local Chamber of Commerce, I still might be stuck in the rut of eating at the same old restaurants in downtown.
Tucked inside Westerly's forgotten shopping center, the one on Franklin Street across from JCPenney, Casa della Luce is a serious contender for the title of Best Restaurant in Town. The kitchen makes its own pasta, and it won a pasta cook-off this spring against such longtime favorites as Guytanno's and Vetrano's, its competitors down the road. Casa della Luce is also winning over fans of what it boldly claims is the best pizza in town. The afternoon we visited, the kitchen was busy prepping pies for a graduation party at a nearby school. Indeed, the menu warrants a taste if you find yourself hungry this summer on your way to or from the beaches in Misquamicut.
Our visit got off to an appetizing start as soon as we arrived. Warm aromas, probably from all those baking pizzas, greeted us as we walked through the door. Our waitress greeted us just as warmly and served us cheerfully from start to finish.
We devoured a plate of "sausage and rabe" ($7), perhaps the perfect appetizer. Slices of sweet Italian sausage, seared to a heavenly crispness around the edges, made fireworks with tender broccoli rabe and a crusted polenta cake adorned with a sharp goat cheese, sweet red and green pickled peppers, and a tangy splash of balsamic—so many flavors that it was hard to keep track.
The sausage, which the restaurant gets from—where else—Westerly Packing Co. was juicy and fatty and immediately called to mind the addictive flavor of the best of Westerly's homemade soupy. The menu also offers this dish in sandwich form ($6), which is a frighteningly brilliant idea. A small bowl of minestrone ($5) completed our warm-up for our entrées, which were superb.
One of them, the cavatelli with cauliflower cream sauce ($13), was quite possibly the best use of cauliflower I've ever tasted. Cauliflower rarely gets the appreciation it deserves, but this dish promises to impress even the most finicky vegetable-haters. Unlike so many half-hearted attempts to make cauliflower more palatable by frying it or smothering it to death with cheese, this plate maxed out the cauliflower flavor in a comfort-food extravaganza.
Homemade cavatelli, dense and toothy, laved in a thick cauliflower puree beside heirloom purple, green, and golden cauliflower florets. The cream sauce tasted of bacon, or actually pancetta, and somewhat smoky, perhaps from the cheeses used in the dish, and an ultralight breading, more like a dusting, added a crystalline crunch on top. A sprig of basil lent some color, and a bulky garlic knot was handy for sponging up the last of the sauce.
Even better, though, was the truffled steak. A towering tenderloin wore a crown of herbed and peppered mascarpone that melted before our eyes, trickling slowly over the beef and onto a bed of fettuccini. Touched with white truffle oil, a light brown marsala demi cream sauce generously coated the noodles, again homemade, and tasted slightly mustardy. Crimini mushrooms added to the earthiness, and chewy sundried tomatoes contributed an exclamation point of tangy sweetness. The kitchen cooked the tenderloin to a perfect medium-rare, and another garlic knot filled the last remaining space in our stomachs. At $19, the truffled steak is the most expensive dish on the menu. That's terrific news—keep your prices under $20 and you'll keep customers like me coming back.
I took home a couple other items for supper, including an arancinu, or risotto ball ($3 each). Golden-brown and crispy on the outside, arancini are a Sicilian specialty. About the size of a baseball, mine was stuffed with Bolognese (appropriately light on the tomato), peas, and a little mozzarella. A couple of these and you can call it a meal.
A chicken parmesan sandwich ($6) made for a filling meal all by itself. Another customer at Casa della Luce insisted their chicken parm is the best around, so I felt compelled to try it. While her claim is debatable, my sandwich left me entirely satisfied. The fresh, fluffy bulky roll measured nearly eight inches long, and every inch of it was filled with tender chicken breast in a breading as light as the menu promised. With only modest amounts of mozzarella and marinara, the sandwich wasn't as messy as I like but it was delicious nonetheless.
From beginning to end, every part of my experience at Casa della Luce was excellent. It won't take me another 365 days to return.

This was very good. I needed a way to use up leftovers from St. Patrick's Day, so I served this for Brunch the following Sunday. The cooking time was a little long for my stove- I should have added the eggs about 5 minutes earlier. I also used skim milk- since I had no whipping cream on hand- and a conglomeration of veggies from my St. Paddy's leftovers- so I had some chopped cabbage, carrots and onions in the mix with the potatoes. It was a hit. I'll probably make this each year when I find myself with extra corned beef on hand!
Corned Beef Hash
Yield: 6 servings
More From Oxmoor House

9 Responses to Yummy Mummy Year-of-Self-Care Package Contest
One of the first things I have been doing this year for self-care has been to make healthy choices in food and other products I use. I am using more natural and sustainable products.
at this point my favorite Self care activity is a Massage. Hoping to add more to my toolbox..
My favorits self-care activity is a daily hot bath. Partly for the calming effect of the warm water and partly for the few minutes of peace from my busy household.
My current favorite self care activity is training for my first half marathon and doing my weekly long runs with other moms in my running club, "Moms Running Wild". It is such a treat to leave the house, get out in the fresh air, embody myself as I keep learning about my physical potential, and socializing with other moms who I can really relate to.
My favorite self-care activity is to run a hot bath, shut the door, and just lose myself in a book for awhile.
One thing I do for self care is going
to the bookstore. Grabbing a bunch of magazines. A hot cup of tea and sitting in the big comfy chair and reading them with no interruption.
I take time to sit on the deck with my coffee after the kids are off to school. No computer, no phone, just hot coffee, the water running in the fountain, and the birds. It is a still time of quiet and reflection where I can truly relax and find focus.
GIVEAWAY IS OVER! Thank you to everyone who participated!

Our new Guided Walking trip, Japan: Kyoto, Nara & the Kumano Kodo, (as well as our recent Six-Word Travel Memoir Contest) has gotten me thinking about one of my favorite exports from Japan—haiku.

This Mommy War story stinks like yesterday's basketball socks stuffed with Limburger, and the worst thing about it is how it's probably putting a smug smile on Mitt Romney's face. He must have loved Hilary Rosen's apology. "As a pundit, I know my words were poorly chosen."
Yes they were -- but at least she didn't back down completely. Rosen went on to point out how Mittens was the one who brought Ann into this in the first place: "When he goes on the campaign trail and says she is his economic surrogate... come on, I'm not bringing them into this." But get women to fight with each other and guess who wins? The GOP. Was Romney actually dangling Ann as liberal bait?
Gawker is already calling this round for Team Mittens. (OMG, they seriously made a mug already.) And it's kind of depressing to think the nonsensical Mommy Wars can distract us from how lousy Romney really is for women.
As it happens, the Romney/Ryan budget cuts disproportionately affect women. That's where you start wondering who really "gets" you and has your back. You want to talk about real "choices" for women? (And what a choice word for the GOP to use, anyway -- they'd better be careful with that.) There's no choice for women without opportunity.
And eight-plus years of Bush tax cuts for the wealthy did not result in more opportunities for women.
Don't even get me started on the idea of comparing Ann Romney's life with Michelle working-class-upbringing Obama. They are not in the same income bracket. Not. Even. Remotely.
Are we done here? In conclusion: Don't fall for this bullshit. The end.
Do you think the Mommy Wars debate benefited Mitt Romney?
Image via GOP
Lucy she can empathize with women. Because she listens to women, she gets their pain and struggles.
"And eight-plus years of Bush tax cuts for the wealthy did not result in more opportunities for women"
That's debatable, Adriana Velez. What's not debatable is the fact that unemployment for women has risen dramatically under obama, from 7% to 8.3% -- yes, the real "War on Women" is being waged by Democrats.
"Don't even get me started on the idea of comparing Ann Romney's life with Michelle working-class-upbringing Obama." And who cares? And has Ann been rich her whole life? The Left -- always trying to bring in class-warfare & divide Americans. There are at least 5 million stay-at-home-moms in the U.S. Very few of them are wealthy, most come from the middle to lower classes. Most make conscious decisions to sacrifice $$ to raise their children. That's right -- it's their "CHOICE", one of the Left's favorite words.
Keep digging that hole deeper, Adriana Velez; Rosen's attack on a hard-working wife & mother who has survived breast cancer and battles multiple sclerosis has Democrats back-pedaling furiously, up to & including the White House. Score: Ann Romney - 1; Democrats - ZIP
(And obama's Bus scores another victim as Rosen gets thrown under those voracious wheels by fellow Democrats)
Manchester: "Today few women get the luxury of choosing to work instead of staying at home. Most women have to work to contribute financially as well as be Mom"
Welcome to Utopia, Manchester, and "feminism" run amok! Ain't it grand?
Reality: Our children are -- should be -- our most precious possessions and our first priorities.
This is where the Left goes wrong.
LucyMom08: "She can empathize all she wants, and I'm sure she is a warm, compassionate person...but that doesn't mean she will ever "get it"...she doesn't know what it's like to be so worried about money that you don't know if your kids are going to eat, etc...that's why I don't feel she is a good face for this type of campaign move. The "average woman" will NEVER feel like she is "one of the girls", it's just not possible for her to be that relatable.."
Sooooo, Ann Romney is "just like" Michelle Obama, for instance?

Owning a 911 or 360 shows means and desire but little imagination, and most of us car nuts like to think we could have found a much better place to spend that money, or even a little less. Now you'll know where the ultimate connoisseur would go. It's the little backwater of Hamilton, Ohio, home to a population of 60,000 and, more significantly, 1g Racing.
This is the sole U.S. importer of the Noble M400, a UK export that's fast building an army of fans around the world. Nothing outside of the carbon-bodied hypercars from Mercedes-Benz and Porsche can provide more thrills, and those cost six times as much.
This silver-blue rocket is a development of the M12 GTO-3R that got a thorough workout in last year's european car, and looks ostensibly similar. There have been a few cosmetic touches and more aerodynamic tweaks to the GRP body that's outsourced to South Africa's giant car production facility High-Tech. But under the skin it's a total rework, and this time Noble has produced the finished article, one of the finest thoroughbred sports cars on this planet.
It's the best thing Britain has to offer right now; this car is better than Jude Law, The Office and even British military assistance. The M400 just might be Britain's greatest gift to America in recent years. It looks like a proper sports car, with dramatic styling and a big wing; it's mid-engined; it's lightweight and looks the business from any angle. The M400 oozes fighter-jet style cool, and from every angle it shows other road users it would be foolish to start anything.
The Noble hits 60 mph in 3.5 seconds, 100 mph in 8 and tops out at 185 mph. The power comes from a Roush Technologies-prepped Ford 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 that delivers 425 bhp and 390 lb-ft of torque at 5000 rpm. Its name refers to the power-to-weight ratio of 400 bhp per metric ton.
Acceleration throughout the range is a match for anything on the road; it will seriously edge out a Murcielago and stick with an Enzo. On the test track we managed to touch 170 mph down the straight, the crescendo in a series of gut-wrenching surges of torque-driven acceleration launched with each flick of the wrist as the deceptively light and easy lever finds the next gate in the Getrag six-speed.
The kick in the back just doesn't let up until you get on the other side of 150 mph, and the Noble never threatened to snap sideways as the turbos kicked in. Instead, it found each groove like an oversized Scalextric set. There's an added kick at the 5000-rpm mark, with peak horsepower coming at 6500 rpm and the redline set at 7300. The last 2000 revs can be used to provoke the car on the exit of slower bends, if you're so inclined.
There is no traction control but practice makes perfect, and Noble's own marketing director/test driver Simon Hucknall took a starring role in our shoot. It's possible to stroke the tail out of line at the apex and hold a graceful slide, tires smoking under a steady right foot. Long throttle travel helps here, as it allows sensitive input at the limit and around town.
But it was at high speeds that its true skills shone through and the Noble M400 carved itself into the supercar ranks. The beefy rear wing, sculpted bodywork, side cooling ducts and venturi all combine to create genuine downforce, and beyond 120 mph it feels planted to the tarmac in a way most drivers only dream about. While other cars float, the Noble cuts into fast sweeping bends, and there are few road-legal cars that work so effectively.
A lightweight frame and Lee Noble's 20 years of experience in building supercars like the Ultima GTR and Ascari Ecosse have produced a super-stiff steel spaceframe chassis heavily reinforced with alloy panels, a full roll cage and beams that make their presence known under the carpet of the sparse cockpit. It's not all about safety; it's about removing even a whiff of body roll, so the Noble can cut left and right like a skier at speed and avoid pitching in bends.
A rather serious suspension setup from Dynamics Suspension helps with the cornering capabilities, as do the Pirelli P Zero Corsas that resemble cut slick racing tires. It all adds up to a car that is absolutely geared to the apex, one that exists only to scythe through bends at abnormal speeds before howling down the straights. The mechanical grip from such an extensive suspension revision is inevitable, and this car corners so well it could give you whiplash.
The 3R had potential on the circuit, but there were problems. The seating position was crippling, the gearshift was awkward, the steering wasn't quick enough to save a big slide and the interior was, frankly, cheap. With the M400, Noble has gone back and corrected each of those faults, and this car now ticks all the boxes. Both cars are still on the sales list, with the M400 listed as a more track-oriented machine and the 3R for fast road use. The truth is that the M400 is superior in every way.
A new steering rack now means that you don't run out of lock when trying to catch a quick slide, as happened to some 3R owners. It also helps maneuverability at low speeds. It can undergo three-point turns in the road with ease and is just as easy to drive as any Ferrari. Porsche still has an edge in accessibility, but the Noble is no harder to drive than any other moderately powerful saloon.
The black Alcantara interior and embossed Sparco bucket seats, together with both standard seatbelts and a four-point race harnesses for track use, is now a fine working environment that can handle long distance driving since Noble has taken the opportunity to relocate the seat and reduce the pedal offset. It's no longer a case of sliding into a chiropractor's nightmare.
It's not too noisy either, despite the ferocious horsepower exploding just inches from your head. Our guide could offer no explanation why, as the exhaust is exactly the same and this car has 73 bhp more, but I wasn't the first to comment on the relatively mellow engine noise as we tackled the road part of the test.
Heavy attack on the circuit, though, bought a harder, more urgent growl from the V6. It's downright dirty as it heads for redline, instantly explaining why so many English fanatics have parted with their cash and helped transform Noble from a cottage industry to a genuine force in the UK car manufacturing.
Despite being firm, the ride is well tuned to British roads. The Noble maintains absolute composure under heavy braking, too, even when shedding 70 mph for the corner at the end of Bruntingthorpe's landing strip. On a concrete surface with numerous expansion joints that could send it out of shape, the Noble simply soaked up the bumps and slowed thanks to race-style calipers clamping down on 330mm ventilated discs front and rear.
To avoid the extreme cost of full federalization, Noble ships its cars in as rolling chassis, already equipped with suspension and brakes, and 1g arranges for an engine to be dropped in. None of this should matter to you, though. Just order your machine, turn up and drive it away. You'll get what amounts to a factory warranty, too.
If you're looking for a Sunday afternoon road ripper, or are working out how you can justify reducing your daily driver's luggage space to six small bags, this is arguably the best driver's car in the world. Before you put a deposit down on any other, go to Ohio, drive the M400, change your mind and buy it instead. It's that damn good.

On a separate occasion, my friend went back and mentioned the staff kept asking if she was ready to order while she was waiting for a friend. It was so frustrating for her that she had to walk out.
I guess this shows that they want you in, then out, and fast. Nothing wrong with that if you want a quick feed. But it's probably not the best place to sit and chat for hours.

Denver (Sunday, January 06, 2013)
I have been using the nailing gun for about 6 months and all is well. I purchased the nailer after using one of the framers nailers who recommended this product. I love the weight and size especially in tight places. The power is great and works perfect for my remodeling and framing.

30-60 Sec Video Ads Tops Engagement; 1-2 Minutes Tops Viewing
by Jack Loechner on Oct 11, 6:15 AM
According to a recent Jun Group study, the vast majority of today's online video advertising takes the form of 15-second pre-roll spots jammed in front of the video content that consumers are really after. At its core, opines the report, this is an interruptive practice that forces viewers to sit through something that's likely unwelcome and irrelevant. Increasingly, consumers resent it.

Memphis, early afternoon, just in time to get a hotel room and do some work. Adventure waits outside, but I have a phone interview and a story waiting on me. Night falls as the work is completed--time for dinner. After some driving, I find Neely's BBQ, a family-owned restaurant famous among BBQ connoisseurs. The giant turkey sandwich is stupendous and really is better than anything I can get at home.
A few hours' sleep and I'm on my way to Memphis Airport, to collect my co-driver. I've already grown tired of conversation with myself (I can be so hard-headed and nave sometimes), it'll be nice to hear a different point of view.
We leave the airport to find another beautiful morning and head to The Waffle House for breakfast. They're all over the place in Memphis and you owe it to yourself to have a plate of smothered 'n' covered hash browns at least once. Immediately after walking in the cloudy glass door, all conversation stops. I feel an uncomfortable tension I'm not accustomed to on the West Coast. We're the only white people in the entire restaurant. Luckily, there are two things that bring people together in Memphis. One is music and the other is food. I love both. A waiter sees the humor in the situation and directs us to our booth. We have a great meal and the other patrons have a story to tell people at work later in the day.
Before leaving Memphis, we have to pay our respects to the birthplace of rock 'n' roll. We head over to Sun Records Studio. In this tiny, awkwardly shaped building, the Big Bang of modern music took place. Little Richard, Elvis Presley, many big names recorded here in the dawn of the era. But even before there was rock 'n' roll, there was The Blues. And Beale Street is where it lives. A collection of nightclubs and restaurants still features some of the best musicians in the world--often playing free shows in dark corners of cramped bars. It would be easy to spend the better part of a week here, but the clock is ticking.
After a brief stop on the eastern bank of the Mississippi, we say goodbye to Memphis, hoping to return one day soon. We enter Arkansas and the country starts to flatten out. This time of year, things are yellow and dry. The land is parched and it looks as if time has stopped. There's no activity anywhere and we're an hour into Oklahoma before we even realize it.
Oklahoma is much the same as Arkansas, but around sundown we find the General Thomas P. Stafford Aerospace Museum. Named in honor of the test pilot and astronaut who flew both Gemini and Apollo missions, the museum is a welcome surprise right off the highway. It's getting late and we decide to stop for dinner. We find Lucille's Diner, antique gas pumps and muscle cars mark the entrance. Inside, we find real road food and a gentleman known as `Bill from the Grill.' He sits with us during our meal and we talk cars, traveling and life. Bill is the kind of guy who is instantly a friend. Every local who comes or goes says `hi' and he greets them all by name. We stay until the close of business and hit the road again. Halfway through the panhandle of Texas, we call it a night.

Can't see J.B. Shuck in the minors. Calhoun more likely to be in the minors where he can play everyday than on the bench if Shuck is also still on the team.
I typically lean towards projecting a young player with upside in the minors to play everyday while a guy who is already viewed as a bench player (Shuck) would be more likely to be on the major league team.
But in Calhoun's case, he's not that young. He's already logged a lot of AB's in AAA and had success. And he was one of the best hitters on the Angels in the 2nd half of last season. I can easily see Scioscia getting him 3-4 starts per week while giving the Pujols, Hamilton, Bourjos and Trumbo days off during the week.
Great job! I like the new format. Amazing to see how quickly this site has developed in only five months.

Alexander Skarsgård on Jimmy Fallon [x]
Ellen Page and Alexander Skarsgard going to hockey games together is my new favorite thing.
This is just too adorable .^_^.
I'm really glad that you think that way Alex XD
Five years later, only getting better.
He really did get better! UNF!
Could he look more adorable?
HOW ARE YOU REAL?!? Ughhhhh, I love his hair like that.
Drunk ASkars sexually molests his friends and strips a little. I have so many feelings.
I…this is so beautiful. I want to get drunk with ASkars and let him molest me and strip. I am so aroused and just a tiny bit creeped out. But oh my god. I can't decide whether to giggle or scream or fap.

The bob hairstyle is a classic and versatile cut. With many options for different lengths, cuts, and bangs, you can find a version that suits your look and lifestyle. Check out three ways to rock the bob with bangs – from chin to shoulder lengths. Bangs can be diagonal, cut blunt or indie-style, or swept to the side. This is a great look for summer – easy to wear and appropriate for every occasion from the beach to the office. Check out these bob with bangs pictures!
The chin-length bob is both universally flattering and a great cut for thick hair. Layers give this full hair a great profile and lots of movement. Angled bangs worn on the diagonal add a cutting edge to the rounded shape. The highlights add the illusion of more depth and shape for a fun and vibrant look.
In contrast to the previous rounded do, this choppy bob hangs sleek and straight. The fringe is cut straight across the forehead, softened by angled edges. It's a great haircut for thick and coarse hair, with all around layers to reduce bulk and give an edgy look. This bob hairstyle is fresh and modern.
The demi-bob is one of the season's hairstyle trends. This version with long sweeping side bangs just barely grazes the shoulder. It's a flattering cut that can be styled sweet or sassy. The long asymmetrical bangs are perfect for heart-shaped and oval faces.
There is a version of the bob hairstyle for everyone! If bangs aren't your thing, check out this short no bangs hairstyle.

Water Utility
The Village of Lumby operates the water treatment and distribution system. The water source system consists of three deep wells. In 2010, when the third well was completed, the source and treatment capabilities rose to 5,080,320 litres per day. More importantly the well delivery system offers a surety of supply.
The water is pumped to the filtration plant, where a filtration process takes place to remove iron and manganese (aesthetic purposes only) through a sand filter system. Sodium hypochlorite is introduced to disinfect the water as required by the Interior Health. The once filtered and chlorinated water is pumped to a lower reservoir with a holding capacity of 2,649,788 litres. The water from the lower reservoir is fed into the distribution system by gravity for the lower portion of the Village and is also pumped to the high Reservoir located above Miller Street for distribution to the community, also by gravity. The high reservoir is capable of storing 1,620,156 litres of water.
The regulations require that the water system have the capacity storage for a two day supply of domestic use and a fire fighting supply to meet the Underwriters requirements.
Daily inspections of the water filtration plant and pumping stations is required. During the course of the year as part of the normal operations of the utility, the Public Works Department inspect the fire hydrants, exercise all the water valves and flush the water mains on an annual basis to assist in cleaning the water mains. The department also repairs individual service valves to the property and repairs to the water distribution mains.
Monitoring of the available chlorine in the distribution water mains are collected within several sites throughout Lumby and inputted into a state of the art SCADA system. Within this powerful program, the deep aquifer Lumby utilizes for potable water is also monitored 24 hours a day, showing the reaction of the aquifer during heavy and light use.
Water Meters:
The Village has completed a universal water metering program in 2009 and during the course of 2010, water meter usage readings were now captured on a monthly basis. During the course of 2010, a rate structure was developed that ensures long term maintenance of the water system and future capital expenditures or replacement are covered. In 2011, the consumers were invoiced on a user pay basis. With the installation of water meters, a modest decrease of water consumption was targeted to be around 20% in annual consumption, but as of year-end of 2012, the Village of Lumby has seen a reduction of 32.6% in its annual water consumption.
Cross-Connection Control Program
The Village of Lumby Water Distribution System must adhere to conditions set out by the Interior Health Drinking Water Permit to operate their water system. One of the conditions stipulated by Interior health is to institute a Cross Connection Control Program. In 2010, the Village of Lumby adopted a Cross Connection Control Program and accompanying Bylaw that mandates all industrial and commercial property owners install a back flow prevention device at their building or property which protects from any back flow conditions. This program is administered and managed by the Village of Lumby.

FORT WAYNE – So now it's simple, at least.
Win, and you keep summer alive for 24 more hours. Lose, and someone else hoists the championship trophy in your own ballpark, in front of your own fans, in your own city.
These are the choices now, after Wisconsin 10, TinCaps 8 in Game 3 of the Midwest League Championship Series on Saturday night. This is where all the clichés go to be born, as the nights cool and summer shrinks to whoever gets to three wins first.
Wisconsin has two wins. The TinCaps have one. And so their backs are against the wall, and there's no tomorrow, and it's (choose one) do or die, or sink or swim.
We're not done, TinCaps manager Jose Valentin said, defiant in a situation that calls for nothing else but defiance. We're behind, but we've been in this situation before. So we just have to try to come out and score some runs early and try to make the game a lot easier for (starting pitcher James) Needy.
Down the hall, around the corner, and here sat catcher Austin Hedges.
We just have to go out and play the game we've played all year, he said. We need to go out and get strike one tomorrow, get ahead in the count on the pitching. We swung the bats pretty good today. We have to do the same thing tomorrow and we'll be OK.
Or, not. Saturday they swung the bats, yes, and they put up eight runs and 11 hits, but David Goforth and three Wisconsin relievers also struck out 13 of them. The last was Duanel Jones, who went down swinging in the ninth to end it with a man on third and the Timber Rattlers on the ropes.
The visitors led 10-4 going into the home half of the eighth. But the TinCaps scored two in their half, both with two out, and two more in the ninth, and left the premises believing they'd simply run out of time.
We're never giving up, Hedges said. Our guys battle to the final out. It was good to see tonight. We had plenty of opportunities, we just came up a little short.
We're fine, Valentin agreed.
Fine, as long as Needy gives them five solid innings and hands a lead to the bullpen. That didn't happen Saturday night.
To be sure, Frank Garces set Wisconsin down in order in the first and second, and Tyler Stubblefield drove one to the warning track for an RBI double, smacking his hands on his batting helmet in celebration as he arrived at second. The TinCaps led 1-0 after an inning, and 3-1 after three.
And then the wheels went thataway.
Cody Hebner came on for Garces in the fourth and Brandon Macias took him deep with two aboard.
Suddenly it was 6-3, a five-run inning for Wisconsin, four of the runs coming after there were two outs and nobody on. And the TinCaps, though they didn't know it yet, were deader than disco, the bullpen giving up six hits and five runs, Wisconsin scoring eight of their 10 runs with two out.
And now it's simple, at least. Now it's the TinCaps whose backs are against the wall, who are on the brink, who need timely hitting to stretch summer another day, plus a return of the pitching that, in the first two games, limited Wisconsin to four runs and six hits.
This game of baseball, it's about 25 guys, Valentin said Friday, before game three.
They'll need 'em all now.

an actual conversation from last night with some dude that was on a cool guy mission
- Standing next to the bar naming off musicians from the 60s being played and talking about the "new" ClubMasters he had just ordered at his optometrist because the ones he was wearing were "the cheap version"...
- Me: your friends' sister looks like Sara Barallis.
- Him: I don't know who that is.
- Me: you know, she sings that 'I wanna see you be brave' song?
- Him: I don't know who that is.
- Me: ...mhhmm..I know. I know you don't ...
- Me: you know who you look like?
- Him: well a lot of people say a mix between (some actor I've never heard of) and David Bekham.
- Me: oh. I was going to say my husband...3 years ago...

Today my beautiful and incredibly strong grandmother turns 87 years old. There are no simple words to tell you how much I love this woman and to tell you about how much she has inspired me to be a better daughter, a better sister, a harder worker, and a better mom and wife. My grandmother is the cornerstone of my incredibly large family. The confidant. The optimist. The gentle hand. The encourager. The comedian. Tomorrow we will take her off of life support, just as she requested, and she will go and be with her maker, pain free, and at rest.
Lola I love you so much. I don't want you to go but I know that I've been spoiled to have you for this long. Every day I will think of you. Every day I will wish you were still here.

With the first African American to have a viable chance of becoming president of the United States, it is inevitable that the race card would be played somewhere along the line. Now we are to understand that voting for Hillary Clinton to win the Democratic nomination is tantamount to an expression of racism and will result ultimately in irreparable damage to the party's chances of winning the White House.
Race had to be the reason a lot of lower-to middle-class white folks didn't vote for Barack Obama in Pennsylvania, didn't it? It couldn't be that they honestly questioned his lack of experience or any record of administration or that they felt he was paying lip service to their plight, now could it? The whole world knows we're a nation of unrepentant and unreconstructed bigots — just ask Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. Don't they tell us that every day?
Certainly that's the message being sent by some leading black Democrats, including the majority whip of the House, Rep. James Clyburn, of South Carolina, who explained that his assessment stems from the fact such talk is in the air. Denial of Obama at this stage, particularly if it comes from overwhelmingly white super delegates to the Democratic National Convention, would be met with a black boycott of the November election.
"If this party is perceived by people as having gone into a back room somewhere and brokered a nominee, that would not be good for our party," Clyburn was quoted in the press. "I'm telling you that if this continues on its current course it . . . is going to be irreparable."
So if a majority of those party insiders believe suddenly that Obama is unelectable, tough? They have to vote for him anyway or face a charge of intolerance?
Even a Clinton victory in the Indiana primary early next month — one the same day in North Carolina seems improbable — would make no difference, it seems. Nothing short of a Clinton withdrawal and unanimous anointment of Obama will satisfy many of the party leaders in general and the African American caucus in particular. Never mind that Pennsylvania revealed some startling Obama weaknesses among traditional Democratic voters and that he has lost all of the big states needed to reach the White House or that his rock star image has been tarnished dramatically in the last few weeks or that time and again he has been unable to put Clinton away, revealing a disturbing lack of punch.
Apparently Clyburn, who is the highest -ranking African American in Congress and remains uncommitted as a super delegate, was chosen to carry the word. The threat, while understandable if seen from their eyes, is probably the last thing their candidate needed. He has run a color-blind campaign for the most part, realizing that it is time to put away this black and white thing.
Misguided efforts to force out the first viable female candidate would have an enormously debilitating impact on Democratic hopes. Contrary to the conventional wisdom, she actually might do better in the general election than he. Impugning the motives of white voters who are concerned about Obama's ability to meet their concerns is likely to drive more of them to Clinton. White and even some black Democratic voters in lower income groups who are now the most damaged by a slowing economy have legitimate questions about him that have nothing to do with race.
If there is any demonstrable indication beyond Pennsylvania that Obama's momentum could be shifting it is the fact that Clinton's almost-broke campaign found a $10 million infusion of cash in one day immediately following that primary. A solid majority of Democrats obviously want this contest to continue no matter what concerns the party's leaders have about damage to their November chances. Inserting racial motivations for her recent success and issuing threats about not showing up at the polls is harmful both to the party and those making the charges. That's a two way street.
In 1933, an overwhelming number of African Americans fled the Republican Party and joined Franklin Roosevelt's Democrats, except in the South where they were prevented from voting. They have remained loyal ever since, winning through the years the respect and equality they were due but were denied after the Civil War. A major factor has been their willingness to demand and struggle for these rights without malice. Obama has conducted himself with that sort of dignity, a brilliant, charismatic young man. Are there bigots among us, certainly, and on both sides.
Playing the race card is not what the nation needs nor is threatening to walk away from the election.
(Dan K. Thomasson is former editor of the Scripps Howard News Service.)
4 Responses to "Race card plays both ways"
How dare you imply that there may be other more complex and legitimate reasons to oppose Obama. We need to keep things nice and simple, and here you are attempting to inject rationality and thought into an otherwise irrational and mind-numbing dialogue.
First thing: Please stop referring to Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton as the official leaders of African-Americans, as the media has been doing for the last 20 years. African-Americans don't vote in a bloc, and may actually oppose some or all of what these two have to say.
Second thing: Please get your facts straight. Hillary's campaign was the one that went negative and started playing the race card. I lost a lot of respect for her when she began playing to "win" instead of thinking of the best interests of the Democrats. She doesn't have to concede the nomination at this point, but using GOP-inspired dirty tactics doesn't endear her to the core group of Democrats (nor to African-Americans, many of whom may see this as a betrayal).
Finally, Obama has the lead in the popular vote and in pledged delegates. Far from being a smear campaign to encourage Clinton to drop out of the race, it would work for the unity of the Democratic party overall to resolve the issue now and direct the party's energy against McCain, rather than forcing the remaining superdelegates to overturn the votes of the people (You remember them, don't you? The ones who count in a democracy? Or maybe you are also convinced that Al Gore lost the popular vote in 2000.). Tearing the Democratic party apart just because you want to win at all cost can only guarantee yet another GOP presidency as well as weakened opposition to the ongoing march to facism started by the Bush administration.
Consider this: in that craptacular ABC debate, Charlie Gibson had the gall to present a video of a citizen who questioned Obama's patriotism because he didn't have a flag lapel pin. I also noted that Hillary wasn't wearing a pin, Charlie Gibson wasn't wearing a pin, and George Stephanopoulos wasn't wearing a pin. I also noticed that seldom if ever does John McCain wear a pin. Should we call them all unpatriotic, or just call it a racial double standard? (For the record, Richard Nixon was the first to wear flag lapel pins. You see what a patriot he turned out to be.)
Ah Dan, until I read your article, I was beginning to think common sense had taken a holiday at Capitol Hill Blue.
Pardon me, Sir, but, would that be your cross over there that is burning?

Today i am sharing with you my new collection from LOKI'S LACQUER.
After lots of deciding what my new collection was, i decided to go with one of my favorite cartoons......Futurama!
I Just love Futurama, so with all my favorite characters to inspire me i came up with 11 polishes to share with you.
You will notice that some of the catch phrases and quotes are not " exactly"the same as quotes from the show. i did this due to not wanting to get in trouble from the powers that be and copying all their shows lines.
All of these polishes are available for sale on my etsy site called LOKI'S LACQUER and i have for sale mini bottles as well as full size 12ml bottles. Prices start from AUD$5.00 and i have available listings for international sales as well as australian ones.
*Note* i also have a listing for Aussie buyers- if you buy 6 or more polishes in full size you get free shipping. just use the listing for this to qualify for the free shipping.
So lets go through the polishes.......
First up is the title polish of my collection... SPACE PILOT 3000
This is a beautiful with different effects depending if you are inside or out.
The polish is based on a black base and in the shade you will see many different coloured glass flecks through it. but once you go outside.... BAM!!! you are hit with a eye blinding whack of holographic goodness.
The swatches for this polish are 2 coats over ulta3 black satin.
Here is a couple of seconds video of it in the sun.
Next up is everyone's favorite character......BENDER.........
This is another one of my polishes which is just that little bit different. I used blue and green glitter with a duochrome base so the polish look like it has a greenish tinge to start with but layer it over black polish and it will change from green to a great reddish brown colour.
Below are 2 coats over Ulta3 black satin.
So who do we have left???
Next up is a polish inspired by AMY WONG.
I named this polish.... IM TOO RICH TO BE KIDNAPPED.
I tried to get as much pink into this bottle as i could! i used holo pink glitter, pink moondust pigment for a pink effect when layers over black and lots and lots of pink matte glitter in many different sizes!
The swatch is 1 coat over Essie supa bossanova
So we are over 1/2 way though the collection now, thirsty???
how about a can of SLURM???
And who is the spokesman for Slurm?? its Slurms Mackenzie!!!!
So i called my next polish.... WHIMMY WHAM WHAM WAZZLE!!
I SO wanted to a glow in the dark polish for this one, but every glow in the dark pigment i used did not work well with other pigment in this polish and it kept sinking to the bottom :( so not glow in the dark...sorry :(
Instead i created a bright green foil type polish with pink and blue glitter to match the Slurms can!
This is 2 coats over Ulta3 white lily.
Only a couple more polishes to go now.
Next up is a polish i called GOOD NEWS EVERYBODY. and before you all say it ...yes i am well aware the saying is "good news everyone" but like i said at the beginning i had to change up slightly to cover my butt for copyright. But We ALL know who says this dont we.....
I swatched this with 2 coats over Ulta3 white lily.
so what better way to represent him than with a polish named after one of those great quotes! There were so many to choose from but i ended up deciding on naming my polish..... KIF, WE HAVE A CONDRUMDUM,SEARCH THEM FOR PAPER AND BRING ME A ROCK.
I SO wanted to capture Zapps uniform with this polish. I used many different Burgundy glitters along with ruby glitter,and many different shapes of gold holo glitter, including large square,slices and stars.
The swatch is 1 coat dabbed on over China Glaze merry berry.

Unexpected success is undoubtedly the best outcome in sports. Sure, it's nice when we expect Roy Halladay to throw a complete game shutout and he goes out on the mound and delivers. But there's nothing quite as invigorating as watching a no-name player like Vance Worley start a game with few expectations and perform better than anyone could have rightly predicted.
As far as the Eagles go, that means that fans often take guys like Trent Cole and Jason Peters, easily two of the best players on the team, for granted. Meanwhile, players who give you a little more than you expect - guys like Jamar Chaney and Kurt Coleman perhaps - are lauded.
What I'm saying is that the expectations matter, sometimes more than the results themselves. Perhaps Cole and Chaney aren't in the same league, but what about Chaney and Stewart Bradley? There are lots of people who want to kick Bradley to the curb and move on with someone else. As I wrote last week, I think that the Eagles might agree.
But just because Bradley lagged behind his expectations and Chaney soundly beat his doesn't mean that such a move would be a guaranteed win. We should be mindful that our perceptions often outpace reality. Would King Dunlap really be an upgrade over Winston Justice? Was Dimitri Patterson much better than Ellis Hobbs in the long run?
Sometimes short term play and limited expectations for success can greatly cloud our judgement. It's good to keep that in mind as we consider the Eagles possible offseason moves.
