On Syfy, It's War For Vegas Wizards
Debuting Tuesday, August 19, the SyFy show, Wizard Wars, will be the magic equivalent of Project Runway. The reality series, featuring Vegas magicians and Rio headliners Penn & Teller, will challenge the magically inclined to "come up with magic made from things you'd never expect." Sounds like a fun "unconventional" challenge on a certain aforementioned show, right? Well, make it work designers.. umm.. magicians.
Penn & Teller serve as celebrity judges and executive producers of the competition-style show and the show's online description sums it up neatly:

How ESPN's World Series of Poker Coverage Distorts Reality
Players are trading bluffs and deep penetrating stares on ESPN's World Series of Poker telecast, airing now through the final table of the Main Event in November.
But, what you see isn't always what you get. Televised poker often presents a rather misleading look into the world of tournament poker. In addition to some obvious differences, such as, you know, the fact that drunk who gave away all his chips in that $50 Flamingo tournament wouldn't ever play the $1 million buy-in Big One for Big Drop at the Rio, you'll find plenty of differences between what's myth and what's reality.

Trek Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself: Best Dressed At Rio's Star Trek Convention
Another Star Trek Convention at Rio has come and gone, and with it the hundreds of dedicated fans who "assimilated" (a Trek term) the off-strip property from July 31st through August 3rd. The annual sci-fi gathering is famous for celebrity meets-and-greets, entertaining presentations, parties, concerts, film screenings and vendor booths. This year's event even had a first-time-ever Star Trek-themed wedding, presided over by a convincing "Lt. Commander Data." But, the one thing Star Trek conventions are most famous for? Those wild and elaborate costumes worn by attendees.
Yes, Star Trek fans are a dedicated lot. As so wonderfully spoofed in the Sigourney Weaver comedy, Galaxy Quest, Trekkers proudly wear their geek-dom on their sleeves... and Starfleet tunics, Borg implants, blue antennas and Klingon ridges. While this writer, a lifelong Trek fan, has yet to participate in the regalia (a logo tank or "Starfleet Security" T-shirt have gotten me by so far), some fans spend weeks, months and sometimes years perfecting their creations.
Star Trek conventions always have a Best Costume contest, and this year was no exception. Leading up to the competition were presentations by various experts in the fields of makeup and costuming. Exhibitors in the vendors area offered tips and supplies for next year's hopefuls. It's estimated that nearly 1,500 costumed enthusiasts filled the halls last weekend, hoping to catch the attention of celebrity and expert judges alike.
Several photo-op stations were set up in the promenades amongst the various halls (even a red carpet with the Official Convention Logo backdrop), and they kept flashbulbs popping. I spotted a few party-crashers from the Star Wars universe muscling in on the action, like Wookies, Storm Troopers and lightsaber-wielding Jedis. This may be due to the fact that director J.J. Abrams is now actively involved in both the Star Trek and Star Wars franchises.
This year's competition took place last Saturday, with a $1,000 prize winner crowned that evening. Naturally, I sat in on the prejudging to note audience reactions, but it was much more fun to stroll through the Rio Convention Hall to pick my own favorites. How else would you get to share Klingon Warnog beer (which made its world debut at the convention) with a Romulan or plot to pillage a planet with the Cardassians (no, I didn't mean "Kardashians," although they're known for doing the same).

Why You Should Attend Rio's 2014 Star Trek Convention
It's warp speed once more as Star Trek fans from around the world beam into Las Vegas for the 13th Annual Official Star Trek Vegas Convention July 31-August 3. For the fourth consecutive year, it'll be held at Rio.
You don't have to be a Trekkie (or Trekker as some prefer to be called) to enjoy the four-day adventure. As an ardent fan attending for the third year, this writer can assure you that Star Trek conventions aren't just for geeks and nerds. There are plenty of reasons to check it out, especially if you've never attended a fan convention before.

The WSOP Don't Mean A Thing If You Ain't Got This Bling
The big event of the 2014 World Series of Poker is well underway at the Rio. Not the Big One for One Drop which netted one player $15 million and over $4.5 million for charity. The big one in this case is the Main Event which is currently on the second of two Day 2's that will eventually play down to one winner going home with $10 million dollars. And, if that hasn't sufficiently confused you yet, we're going to throw some facts and figures out now for what has been a bigger and better record-breaking year for the WSOP:

MJ Live At Rio Celebrates Second Anniversary And Now We Know Why
In Vegas as in life, don't judge a book by its cover. Or, a show by its venue. We'll admit, we had reservations about the MJ Live show at the Crown Theater inside Rio. While the show itself sounded as appealing as any other tribute show, more so possibly because of the appeal of Michael Jackson's music, the venue has been a bit cursed in recent years. It transformed from Club Rio in 2006 to Prince's (well, the symbol's) 3121 Nightclub for a few months before reopening as ND's Fuego in 2009 (which didn't last very long, either). Now, the round venue has regained a new life as a theater and is home to MJ Live and The Rat Pack is Back. But, enough with the Rio history lesson. The point is this venue has settled into its own and makes for a very comfortable theater. To celebrate MJ One's second anniversary, it was high time we checked out the show that is enjoying more longevity than many of its competitors.
Not to be confused with Michael Jackson ONE by Cirque du Soleil over at Mandalay Bay, MJ Live is a tribute show with live singing (duh, it says so in the name). While ONE is an amazing, big-budget Cirque production with spectacular choreography and elaborate sets, this writer actually found MJ Live to be more entertaining overall.

Let's Use Reports Of Room Thefts At Rio As A Safety Reminder
It's almost become an annual tradition like the World Series of Poker that accompanies it. It wasn't even a week into this year's WSOP before reports of hotel room thefts at Rio started popping up.
Professional poker player Lauri Pesonen says says a laptop was stolen while his roommate and fellow poker pro Joni Jouhkimainen reported some other items that were stolen. Another poker pro Manh Nguyen says $35,000 in cash was stolen from his room at Rio.

WSOP Players Get Special Hotel Rates And You Can, Too
May means it's time for the 45th annual World Series of Poker. As tens of thousands of poker pros, amateurs, fans, and dreamers make their way to Las Vegas, they will take up residence in the city's hotels. Caesars, which runs the WSOP, offers special rates for entrants at host hotel Rio as well as its other properties across the city. Many will take them up on the offer, but quite a few will instead take advantage of special year-round poker rates not generally advertised to the public. The cool thing about these rates is that they're open to anyone, not just the poker pros.

With The World Series Of Poker Less Than A Week Away, Here's What To Expect
We're less than a week away from the beginning of the 45th World Series of Poker at Rio. This marks the 10th year the WSOP will be at the off Strip casino. The tournament -- really numbering 65 over a six-week period -- takes place May 27 through July 14. It all culminates with the largest poker tournament of the year, the $10,000 No Limit Hold 'em Tournament more commonly known as the Main Event.
The Main Event takes place July 5-14 during which time a field of thousands will be whittled down to a final table of 9. The final table, also known as the November Nine, returns November 10-11 inside the Penn & Teller Theater. The prize pools are based on how many people enter, but this much is clear -- the Main Event winner is guaranteed to take home $10 million!

I even get 4 seconds of 30 Mbps PowerBoost.Dallas is the headquarters for AT&T and FiOS is available in several suburbs. TWC's Dallas cable plant is fairly current. That might explain why Dallas is often near the front of the line for the new stuff.

Another Dragon*Con is in the bag, and I have to admit that it was one of the best yet for me. The con has grown so much, and it does not appear to stopping. There is something cool about all of the people, having so much to do, so many things to see, meeting up with old friends, and hopefully I made some new ones. No two Dragon*Con experiences are alike, but I would like to take a moment to talk about mine and what caught my attention.
Friday was mostly panels for me, because there were a lot I wanted to see, and I have to say that my schedule was so much easier this year thanks to the Dragon*Con app. After getting my badge I made it to the What If…Elseworlds panel with Peter David, Mike Miller, and Dave Johnson, which was a fun romp through some excellent comic stories and discussions on the freedom of non-continuity. Also, Peter David is hilarious, especially calling out one fan for how the Young Justice show ruined his characters, when he had written the episodes in question. It is also great when one of the panelists agrees how dumb a recent comic death was, that the guy sitting next to him helped with.
The next was a Women in the Video Game Industry panel that really needed more time, but I was glad to see it packed. The next bit was light hearted and fun, An Audience with James Urbaniak and Dana Snyder, which involved a live radio show and a lot of silliness. Both men are renowned actors and thespians, but are best known as Dr. Venture (Venture Brothers) and Master Shake (Aqua Teen Hunger Force), and they did not disappoint.
I closed out the block with two writing panels, Building Alternate Worlds and Times followed by Critique Groups and Beta Readers. Each had a slew of awesome writers, too many to name, but I will say that it was a pleasure to speak with Delilah S. Dawson again, and to finally meet and have a beer with the wonderful Michael J. Martinez. Friday closed off with a few drinks and meeting some friends for food. And although it may sound like a lot of fun, I took some notes and set up some things for the future as well. This, combined with day two's networking, was worth the trip alone, but it gets better.
Saturday began with Martinez's author reading and some time left open to meet friends and wander about. I find that to be a fun part of the con itself, and always discover something fun or interesting. I palled around with Cary and Stephen for a chunk of the day while we traversed the dealer' area, which is still too crowded, and hit up the gaming floor. I think my two friends were bad luck though, as for the first time in my personal Dragon*Con history, a panel filled when we had actually gotten there an hour early. This seemed to be a common problem this year with panels though, as several I attended were just in too small of rooms or should have honestly been offered at more times. Something I hope to see addressed in the future.
After running into Kim and Danny in the food court I did make it to a wonderful Race and Gender Issues panel, that really needed to be about an hour longer, but after that I decided that it was time to meet up with Evan and Wesley. We could not get into the IT Crowd panel for the same reasons as above, but took the opportunity to go check out some of the cosplay in the Marriot. There was some great stuff as always, and I love the subtle stuff or really obscure characters, like seeing Haley and Jeff from American Dad, or Simon Dark. I thought I was the only one who read that comic book. After some photo ops though it was time to hit up the parties with Jessica, and after dancing with a female Deadpool and talking to a random Fire Emblem character about Smash Brothers, it had been a long fun day. So long in fact that I got on the wrong MARTA train, but that is a story for another time.
My last panel was on Sunday, Journalism and SF with Emilie P. Bush and some other ladies who all had backgrounds in journalism and law apparently. It was an interesting approach to the subjects at hand, and overall confirmed that every panel I saw was interesting in one form or another, also rounding out my networking attempts. I want to thank Andy for letting me pal around with him and his friends for a while, trying the dealers' rooms one more time and getting the talented and all around nice David Mack to sell me on Daredevil: End of Days and sign it for me.
I had one final adventure as I wandered the hotels and took everything in. Jim Sterling from the Escapist had been tweeting that he was at the con all weekend, and after a vigorous search I finally found him in the lobby of the Hilton. He was not a guest of DC, just an attendee like myself, and it was incredibly awesome to meet someone in the field I am trying to get more involved with. I am not one to get star struck by any means, but this was rather cool and I just had to get a picture. Meeting him was a pleasure, and I may have shamelessly given him my business card, but in the end, it was the perfect closing to my Dragon*Con 2014.
I am already looking into next year, and one must start early for something so packed. I had a great time, and have enjoyed recording it all down here as well. This will be a hard con experience to top, but I am looking forward to giving it a try.

it was declining when sheen was there
I don't see that happening because Sheen does NOT get along with Joe Lorre (the producer).
Sheen's doing well for himself: he's done two commercials (Fiat and Direct TV).
Never saw this show as funny

Ashton just brings a new element to the show. More fun, less badass, and more rich.

Wow, this community really hates the show. LOL.
I like it...mind you I didn't watch much of it when Charlie was still in it...I like him, but just never seen the shown on TV much and didn't get a chance to check it out in the early days. The entire controversy between Chuck Lorre and Charlie Sheen is what made me tune in to see how they were going to deal with the main character leaving and I've been watching since then.
It's all right, but it's no Big Bang theory.
Fun Fact: I hate heights
This show is funny in the same way that Nickelback makes quality rock & roll music.
the only bearable character to me is alan and yet he is the one that's horribly shit on episode after episode
Makes Season 23 of The Simpsons look Oscar worthy.
The show used to be good, It never was something great but I prefer the older chapters than the new ones. I mean Ashton Kutcher could work but the writters are doing stupid stuff like a "monkey brother" and a chapter only for puking jokes because they think that is funny, well it's not. it's disgusting

i know... just like it's your opinion that it isn't.
charlie- boring mysoginist, very one dimensional, maybe funny if your 13.
alan- I actually I want to punch him.
jake- lose some weight you fat shit! and your one liners aren't funny, oh I get it, you like food, and all your "jokes" are about food. fuck off, your not garfield.
the "maid"- a macho bitch that isn't funny.
ashton kutcher's character- probably another twat.
so yeah
Just watched last night's episode in which Alan suffered a heart attack and while he was in the hospital he was visited by the ghost of Charlie...played by Kathy Bates...I wish I was joking.
If you didn't see it here's what happens in a nutshell...Charlie tells Alan that he is in Hell, stuck wandering around in "This old broad's body...it's supposed to be some form of eternal damnation, but the jokes on them...boobs are still boobs".
OK that line was funny enough, but then they took it overboard...Charlie informs Alan that despite being a woman, he still has his balls, which "Dangle from my hooha"....OK Chuck Lorre we get it...you don't like Charlie...move on....then before he leaves he flashes Alan his Pussy/balls combo which we thankfully don't see but it's accompanied by a horrible jiggling noise "You gotta check this out...tell me that's not disturbing" Charlie quips....indeed.
He/She reappears a few more times throughout the episode, the first time Charlie convinced Alan to stop sponging off of Walden (Ashton Kutcher's character) and when he moves into a dingy, rodent infested apartment in a bad area Charlie reveals he was just fucking with him. "I had to come back from Hell to do it but I finally got you outta my freakin' house"...another funny line, and it's a vintage Charlie move, but given how Alan seems to have been the only person to show any affection for Charlie even after his death (Berta and Jake too, but they don't touch on them as much) it seems very cruel, plus earlier in the season Alan found Charlie's diary which revealed he really did love his brother and missed him when he wasn't around.
"I'm in Hell Alan, it's kinda what we do" Charlie laughs.
So then after Alan fakes a second heart attack in order to get back into the beach house and maintain the only real status quo this show requires. We get one more scene, this time with Jake seeing Charlie in Kathy Bates form. Charlie drops some pretty big hints as to who he is but Jake (Who is now a sorta skinny stoner since he's not a cute kid) but Jake...who is also now completely retarded to boot, doesn't pick up on it. Charlie looked like he was gonna say something nice but dumbfounded by Jake's stupidity he says "Screw it! I'm going back to Hell" where he is led off by two hot women in red outfits as he remarks "And me with just a nutsack"

Comments7 Responses to "Wheatpaste Research"
Would you be willing to write up a quick summary of the recipe that you decided on. Nothing special, just the outline with a little more detail. i.e. Some measurements if you have them, and heating-time if you use it. Thanks a lot.
How do you reuse wheat paste after you refrigerate it, right now i have a solid lump of the stuff i tried adding water and nukin it in a microwave neither worked, did I just make a bad batch or is there another way
Eh, mine kind of tends to do that too, but the paste still seems to work allright. I usually try and mix a litttttle bit of warm water with it and then just spread it onto the wall or paper in big globs. The stuff that I pasted back in February that wasn't removed is still up. Give it a shot and tell me what you think.

Core Courses
The law school offers each student a broad exposure to key areas of the law through its core course requirement. Students are required to complete at least 24 hours of "core" courses. These courses include:
- Administrative Law
- Federal Income Taxation of Individuals
- Business Organizations
- Conflict of Laws
- Criminal Procedure: Constitutional Issues
- Criminal Procedure: Judicial Processes
- Decedents' Estates and Trusts
- Family Law
- Estate and Gift Taxation
- Evidence
- Negotiable Instruments
- Secured Transactions
Perspective Courses
The law school also requires that each student take a Perspective course. The perspective course requirement is intended to ensure students encounter an "outsider" perspective on the American legal system, whether that perspective comes from the past, from abroad, from other academic disciplines, or from non-dominant perspectives within contemporary American society.
The Perspectives courses are approved on a semester-by-semester basis, depending on whether a given course offering meets these criteria.
Upper Division Writing Requirement
The writing requirement is designed to ensure students have the opportunity to engage in a significant research project during their course of legal study.
Public Service Requirement

Church Affiliation Colonial and Now ☀
So how were things in the good old days? A consensus questioned by a few serious scholars—Patricia Bonomi among them—is that fewer than 20 percent of the colonial citizens were active in churches. Change came after 1776, so that, in one common estimate, church participation jumped from 17 percent to 34 percent between 1776 and 1850. A better past, more illuminating for comparison in present concerns, is between the early 1960s, when participation crested, and today.

So dope!
We met at 14, our first date was at a bowling alley, we shared a blue sports drink, she would probably be surprised if you told her that I remembered that. And of course, not long after we found ways to screw around, do things we weren't supposed to do, emotionally and physically. We were able to grow up a little bit while it seemed that those around us were getting stupider, more undeserving of our attention (though they were probably doing the same things in their private worlds). We felt like we'd slipped out from under the printing of the barcode, that we'd found a shortcut, a way to go through the motions of broad daylight while still living out much better and more thorough dramas behind the scenes.
And like all dramas, it was a drama, meaning it ended up fucked over and broken. We turned into overgrown kids, 20-somethings with the minds of overripe flower children in weeds, overcrowded slates with no eraser. The last time I saw her she had gained weight and I was on a break from alcohol, there was something in the air but not enough.
you used to put
your ear on my chest
and listen to my
heart push capillaries
like rush hour traffic.
could always tell
what was running
through my head,
albeit via a rather
circuitous route

Monday morning I got an e-mail from Steve, the Producer at Opie and Anthony, a New York radio show co-hosted by comedian Jim Norton. The same Jim Norton whose review of Eat, Pray, Love inspired my "Why is Eat, Pray, Love a Joke?" post.
Norton, whose comments I called "sexist," "unoriginal" and "infuriating" wanted to discuss my blog comments on air Tuesday morning (the whole 20-minute segment can be found here). [Ed. Note: I strongly recommend you listen to it, as it was a phenomenal segment and featured our very own Sarah Arboleda, who is not only super talented in her writing, but is super articulate, too.]
Everyone associated with the show that I spoke with was fantastic. The producer and the hosts really let me get my thoughts across and while there was some good-natured sparring, I didn't think either side was "attacking" the other.
Let me just say that when I'm typing up these posts, I never assume that the people they're about are actually going to read them. And maybe I should. This experience has certainly made me more responsible about what I say and how I say it.
The one point that I had really wanted to get across — that I think unfortunately did not make it into my original article or the radio show (my fault, not theirs) — is that this isn't about making it "wrong" to laugh at crappy chick flicks. I hate crappy chick flicks. I believe it was Anthony who said, "If have to sit through another movie preview of women drinking wine and dancing to old music in their living room, I might vomit," and I agree.
But there is just a stigma about "lady films" that movies about guys just never get. The Expendables might be bad, but women will still go with men to see it because there is no ingrained belief that The Expendables compromises your femininity.
But I do think a lot of guys believe that going to see a movie like Eat, Pray, Love does, in some way, threaten their masculinity. And that was what I thought Norton was talking about on Red Eye. Particularly the part where he said he got ready for the film by repeatedly punching himself in the balls.
Now clearly Norton didn't actually see the movie. But my point was that, whether or not he had seen the movie, there was still the assumption that it was still a women's film about women's issues that a man couldn't necessarily relate to. Norton said he was being absurd, and as a stand-up comedian, Norton was trying to get some laughs. And let me be clear: he succeeded. I thought the bit on Red Eye was funny, and I should have said that in the original post. As a sidenote, I found out after the fact that Norton is a friend of my favorite comedian, Louis CK. And I'm also somewhat embarrassed to realize that Norton took part in one of the best scenes from CK's new show, "Louie," which you can see here (NSFW). If you're not watching "Louie," you're probably a bad person. Just saying.
But my attack on Norton made it sound like I was calling him a sexist, which was not at all intended. Instead, my argument was that his comments were a reflection of a societal attitude about women's films, and I was using his quick comedy bit on a TV show as a jumping off point to air my own concerns.
Ultimately, my issue — both as a woman, but more importantly as an avid filmgoer — is this: if you get two Oscar-baitey scripts or cool Indie films, one starring a man and one starring a woman, both of which are likely to do so-so at the box office anyway, I think most film companies look at the receipts for things like The Expendables and Eat, Pray, Love and think, "Even if this (Indie/Oscar bait) movie won't make a ton of money, movies starring men typically make more than movies starring women." And so you get a dozen films like Inception or A Serious Man before you'll get one Amelie or Kill Bill.
But even if a movie does star a woman, the film's advertising won't necessarily make that clear. Take Inglourious Basterds, for instance. All of the American ad campaigns — trailers, posters, TV and radio spots — focused on Brad Pitt and the "basterds." This film had a total run time of about two and a half hours, and Brad Pitt n' the Boys were in it for what — forty-five minutes? An hour?
The stars of that film were Melanie Laurent as Shoshanna Dreyfus and Christoph Waltz as Col. Hans Landa. A lot of people who went to see it complained that they had not gotten the blood-splattered WWII action film that the trailers had promised, but rather a dialogue-heavy drama about a young woman trying to outsmart a devilish Nazi who had murdered her whole family. Inglourious Basterds was Tarantino's most financially successful movie to date, and for my money one of his best. Would it have done as well if the ad campaigns had been honest and shown that it starred a woman? I don't know — but the American advertisers weren't willing to take that risk.
But like I said on the show and on this blog, at the end of the day, I really just want to see a well-made film with compelling characters and a good storyline. The gender of the lead character is a marginal issue. But that doesn't mean that I wouldn't like to see more films with lead females that are as plentiful and as good as the ones starring men. I love Stand By Me, Reservoir Dogs and Fight Club, but I also love Steel Magnolias, Run Lola Run and Jackie Brown. I just wish that I didn't have to work as hard to come up with my list of favorite female-centric films as I did my list of male-centric ones.
I want to see films starring women where the plot does not revolve around the fact that they're women. You know why Now and Then sucked? Because Stand By Me, the movie it so blatantly ripped off, was about four kids. Now and Then was all about four little girls — bras and lipstick and fashion and sugar and spice. I don't know about you, but at eleven or twelve, I wasn't a little fashionista.
There's a perfect line in Stand By Me where the boys are all lying around the fire, talking about Wagon Train and cherry-flavored Pez and Richard Dreyfuss's voice-over says, "We talked into the night. The kind of talk that seemed important until you discover girls."
That is why I love Stand By Me. It's that beautiful moment right before you become a teenager, right before you enter high school, where you're just a kid hanging out with your friends. Before all of the dividing lines of gender or status force everyone into labeled compartments. And that is what Now and Then got so wrong.
Because far too often, a movie starring a man can be a movie about people, while a movie starring a woman is almost always a movie about women. And that's what needs to change.

First Pitch: Saturday, Aug. 10
Reddick-ulous power display
Published: Aug 10, 2013
» Get updates via Sportsmail
3 Up
1. Josh Reddick, OF, A's. Reddick has been a major disappointment this season and entered Friday's game against Toronto in an 0-for-17 funk, but he broke out in a big way, going 3-for-5 with three homers and five RBIs. Reddick, who hit 32 homers last year, now has eight homers on the season, so a late-season power surge wouldn't be a surprise.
2. Brandon Beachy, SP, Braves. In just his third major league start after Tommy John surgery, Beachy dominated the Marlins, tossing eight shutout innings of three-hit ball. He walked one while striking out six. The 26-year-old righty has improved in each outing, and he has the potential to be a fantasy difference-maker down the stretch.
3. Alexei Ramirez, SS, White Sox. Three players (Ramirez, Justin Morneau, Oswaldo Arcia) from the White Sox and Twins hit a homer in each game of Friday's doubleheader, but Ramirez is the most notable because his shots were only his second and third of the season. Ramirez has been on a tear in August (.350, 7 RBIs), and he's already set a career high in steals (24) for the season. If his power comes around and he can drive in a few more runs now that he's hitting third, Ramirez will be very valuable going forward.
3 Down
1. Francisco Liriano, SP, Pirates. Liriano entered Friday's game in Colorado with a 2.02/1.15 line for the season. After giving up 12 hits, two walks and 10 runs in just 2.1 innings, his numbers ballooned to 2.83/1.26. You can blame Coors Field all you want, but Liriano only gave up one homer, so he clearly just didn't have his best stuff. It's a killer in fantasy leagues, but Liriano should obviously be much better going forward.
2. Jake Peavy, SP, Red Sox. Peavy's second start with the Red Sox didn't go as well as his first. He allowed 10 hits, a walk and six runs in five innings against the Royals. Even worse for fantasy owners is that he didn't record a strikeout. Peavy had seven punchouts in each of his past two outings, but this marks the second time in his past five starts that he's failed to record a strikeout.
3. Matt Adams, 1B, Cardinals. Adams' second-half slide continued on Friday with an 0-for-4, four-left-on-base performance against the Cubs. He's hitting just .196 since the All-Star break and will likely continue to lose playing time.
Start 'Em
- Coco Crisp is 16-for-52 (.308) with two doubles and three home runs against Mark Buehrle.
- Jayson Werth is 8-for-25 (.320) with a double, triple and two home runs against Cliff Lee.
- Jarrod Saltalamacchia is 6-for-12 (.500) with a home run against Jeremy Guthrie.
- Matt Joyce is 6-for-15 (.400) with a double and home run against Zack Greinke.
Sit 'Em
- Alfonso Soriano does have two home runs against Anibal Sanchez, but he's just 5-for-26 (.192) with four strikeouts overall.
- Austin Jackson is 2-for-14 (.143) with four strikeouts against Phil Hughes.
- Alberto Callapso hasn't fared well against Mark Buehrle, batting just 3-for-22 (.136) against him.
- Michael Cuddyer is just 5-for-28 (.179) with nine strikeouts against A.J. Burnett.
Call to the 'Pen
The Angels turned to Dane De La Rosa to protect a three-run lead in the ninth inning on Friday, and he got the job done. He issued a walk and didn't record a strikeout, but De La Rosa's successful conversion likely means he'll continue getting save chances in place of the struggling Ernesto Frieri. His upside is limited because of a mediocre K-rate (7.98), but he's worth an add in all formats. … Mariano Rivera blew his second straight save after allowing a two-run homer to Miguel Cabrera. Consider it a blip on the radar for Rivera, who's in no danger of losing his job. … Josh Fields entered in the seventh inning of a one-run game on Friday. He recorded an out and issued two walks (one intentional) before being pulled. This indicates that the Astros' closer job is still up for grabs. Chia-Jen Lo could see the next save chance. … Glen Perkins threw an inning of both games of Friday's doubleheader. There's a good chance he won't be available today if the Twins have a save situation. Casey Fien or Jared Burton would fill in, with Fien likely being the choice. ... Fernando Rodney blew his second straight save on Friday, allowing five base runners and three earned runs against the Dodgers. His job isn't in jeopardy yet, but Rodney owners might want to grab Joel Peralta as insurance.

Weather Watch
According to wunderground.com, the weather for today's action looks pretty good. The highest likelihood of rain is in Atlanta, where there's a 48 percent chance of showers for the Marlins and Braves. No other game has more than a 20 percent chance of being affected by precipitation.

"I think the dubstep that has come over to the US, and certain producers-- who I can't even be bothered naming-- have definitely hit upon a sort of frat-boy market where there's this macho-ism being reflected in the sounds and the way the music makes you feel. And to me, that is a million miles away from where dubstep started. It's a million miles away from the ethos of it. It's been influenced so much by electro and rave, into who can make the dirtiest, filthiest bass sound, almost like a pissing competition, and that's not really necessary. And I just think that largely that is not going to appeal to women. I find that whole side of things to be pretty frustrating, because that is a direct misrepresentation of the sound as far as I'm concerned."

"We absolutely battled and fought and pulled our hair out on Dummy to make a record. I can't see what use there is to release material that we didn't think was worthy for the record. We never have much bonus material – it's not like there's me playing acoustic guitar and Beth [Gibbons] singing on it for a song that didn't make it, it doesn't exist. We would only do that if we were maybe forced into it by some label contractual thing."

I think there's been an awful amount of suppression and censorship... The world is becoming more and more based on moneymaking and less and less actually on supporting a good quality of life for everybody. I think the result that we're seeing, people getting so frustrated that they feel like they have to rise up, is partly because of this."

-- The Replacements bassist Tommy Stinson doesn't think there's going to be a 'Mats reunion any time soon. (via Rolling Stone)

Trainee lawyers require protection from bullying bosses
Readers' comments (4)
As a training principal, I think that cases of bullying should be raised not just with the Law Society but with the SRA. It is "conduct unbefitting" to treat any human being in the way that some trainees are treated.
I absolutely agree. Trainee lawyers are vulnerable and they need and deserve maximum protection against abuse, mistreatment and bullying etc.
I think this shows just how ineffective the HR department is. Will HR really go against a partner of a firm? I doubt it. Unfortunately trainee lawyers are left to sort things out by themselves.
I can only speak from personal experience but I don't recognise the scenarios written in this article (many of which appear to derive from criminal firms, whose trainee salaries alone are the real scandal).
To be frank, whilst you encounter the odd prat of a partner, 9 times out of 10 the trainees struggling in the situations described above are either too soft to stand up for themselves or are simply too slow at the job and hence cannot ever clear their backlog of work.
As for the racist/sexist accusations - absolutely disgraceful if true, but anybody who puts up with that nonsense needs to re-evaluate why they're willing to put themselves through it. Such instances should be reported to the police, not just the SRA; the job be damned.

Principal leadership
Parent involvement
TK used to an okay school, but it has changed a lot since I have left and gone to the high school. My little sister goes here and is always telling me how bad it's gotten. The dress code has gotten unreasonable, girls can't carry purses because boys can't, no hole in pants even with something under it and just other unreasonable things. Teachers show a lot of favoritism towards the more "popular" students. After the old vice principal left its not the same. This school needs to show every child here respect and care more about the education and the bullying that's going on, not minor problems in dress code!
My daughter has went from struggling in 5th grade to all A's and B's. She participates in extra activities and has shown just a complete turn around since coming here. I thing the staff and all involved are just a tremendous asset and I adore them!
TK Stone has a great family atmosphere, and teachers/staff are helpful to students/parents. The students are very respectful and hard workers to earn their grades. Academic area is not challenging, but their grading scores are higher that county schools. Sport participation has 100% favoritism, which it s not good for the school athletic Dept. Coaches favorite their athlete, regardless if they are not the most talented athlete. So watch out for that favoritism when it comes to sports. If we re to settle here in Etown, we would allow our children to attend Etown Independent Schools. Their test scores are higher than county schools and less stressful environment for students/parents within school.
After moving here from CA. I also wanted to keep my child in a good school with top ratings. I am very pleased. After being station all around the the world this is one of the best schools my child has attended . Hats off to all the staff at Talton K Stone Middle that really makes a different in the lives of students. Thanks Mrs. Sago
Talton k. Middle School, I think, has worked really hard to make it a better place. The academic rank of this school is also quite high. One thing they can do to improve the students academics is to offer more challenging things for students who think that the class isnt challenging enough or is to easy for them. My child experienced this. She is a straight A student I think however the classes were too easy for her. And when I went to have a conversation with the principal about this she didnt even give me a valid reason for why she couldnt take more challenging class which were more appropraite for her level.

this school has nice people great teachers and amazing parental involvment
I fell this is one of the best schools in the country. Claysville has some of the best teachers and the parents are awesome. I would also like to give a huge thanks to the Lunch Room Staff there. They have been awesome to deal with. Although i feel the prinicipal has alot of room for improvement over all the school is great.
This is a grade A+ school system, and I am proud to entrust them with our child's educational needs.
There needs to be closer monitoring in place for the 'No child left behind' act at this school so that our children are reaching their educational goals and not being passed on unprepared. There needs to be more parent involvement. Every school must have parent support!
Great school. My son has started pre-school there this year. He is the 5th generation in the family to attend there. Everyone has loved it and so does my son. Great small school to attend. I would recomend it to anyone and to all parents.
Great school--my granddaughter attend's there and love's it---i like the fact that it is a small school and i feel the students recieve quality time with the teachers.I would like to thank ms.Bonds for making our granddaughter feel comfortable since this was her first year of school.
I think that Claysville is a wonderful learning enviroment. It offers alot more of one on one with the students. A majority of the teachers have taught for 20+ years. I attended this school and now my child does. The faculty and staff couldn't be any friendlier. I am a very satisfied and proud parent
My son goes to Claysville and I feel the school has not and is not a good experience for my child and my self. I am very disappointed in the performance of the Principal and some of his staff. My son's teacher is a breath of fresh air and I would like to give her the credit she deserves. She is a wonderful teacher and my son has enjoyed learning from her. Ms. Moore is an excellent teacher and I would recommend her to a friend. She is an assest to the Marshall County School System. As for the overall school I think it has a lot of room for improvement.
I love Claysville school. I went there as a child and so my children are currently attending. I do think we need to offer more sports and activities, or at least make them more known if there are any.

Tax Revenue Stats
The GOP is trying to push their BS agenda of how "Cutting Taxes will increase federal revenues". Obviously the fact that they are doing this is because they want to protect their rich donor friends who own them (like the Koch Brothers) and NOT because they actually care about America and the problems we face (btw its not only GOP, some corporate democrats do this as well). But from what I have seen, this policy does not hold true.
"But wait! We cut taxes under Reagan and Bush, and revenue INCREASED!". Yes, while technically that is true, theoretically, it DECREASED.Who cares if revenues increase if it does not meet you growing needs. America has both a spending problem AND a revenue problem". We spend to much, but we also dont have enough income (in laymans terms). Not going to address the spending side here today, that is another post. But for what we need as a country, we dont produce enough revenue.
Total Direct Revenue
Total Federal revenue as a share of GDP 1975-current
So why dont we produce enough revenue? Well, while right-wingers complain that the tax rates are too high, weve had MUCH higher rates in the past….and weve done fine.
But that is not even the main issue here. The amount of taxes we RECEIVE is the problem!
Looking at the chart above, we (in 2010) are at the LOWEST rate of income tax as a % of GDP since 1949! And as for the corporate income rate, the 1.3% rate in 2010 (corporate taxes as a % of GDP) is WELL below the average of 2.83% (since 1934). With RECORD profits and corporations sitting on $2 TRILLION of cash, I see no reason why they would need more Tax breaks.Also corporate taxes as a % of GDP is the lowest amongst Germany, Canada,France,United Kingdom and Japan. It is also 1.7% lower (nearly half) of the OECD average.
We need to cut all the tax loopholes that get some companies to 0% Tax rates. I am NOT in favor in cutting tax write-offs, I believe this actually is actually a good thing (Wont explain why now,thats another blog post).
REMEMBER, we have a REVENUE PROBLEM, along with a spending problem. I am NOT suggesting we go to 50% tax rate, like we had during Reagan in the 80s. What I am suggesting to do is to cut all loopholes that companies use to get out of paying taxes and cut the Bush Tax cuts (right now, for people making over 300K or so a year). That small measly 3.6% increase is nothing for millionares. In a time of need, my solutions will increase our revenue's dramatically.
BTW, you cant use the argument that lower taxes = more jobs! They dont! Total US tax revenue as a % of GDP is at the LOWEST since the 50s. Yet, I see a 9.1%, unemployment rate! WTF! That makes ZERO sense.
IF YOU HAVE A RESPONSE, do not just say you are WRONG. Give me facts,stats,REASONS why I am wrong. I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATEEEEEEE people who say you are just wrong without providing a logical argument!!!!

You know its funny how every compliments about racism and tries to be more accepting of others cultures and beliefs when in reality, racism exists. What's even worse is racism among cultures because apparently having dark skin means you're unattractive and unpleasant. Hello, like do we not live in 2013? SInce when did skin colour become one of the predicators for marriage, work, love and success? How can skin colour define any of these things? Someone please explain it to me because clearly I don't understand how people around me are thinking.
I am sick and tired of being treated indifferently, feeling insecure and different because of my physical appearance. Honestly, physical beauty disappears with age and looking at the big picture, skin color is very irrelevant. It doesn't define a person neither does it say anything about a certain individual. I hope for a better year in 2014 where people are more accepting of each other, looking past the physical appearance and getting to know people more.
Honestly, I just randomly wrote this. I wish I had more to say about it but it is one of the sensitive topics that I have to overcome and still somewhat insecure about. I hope I can stand up for myself more often and set an example for the future so I can work towards a better tomorrow for my children ( I know it sounds somewhat cliche but I think it's important to do so).
Delilah =D turned 2 today!

News and Updates
Latest News
Quote: Kotaku - Yes
The bright spotlight being shined on its core figures and villains makes Skylanders: Trap Team feel like a fresh start for the franchise. Without completely abandoning the characters and concepts introduced over the past three years, it feels more like a self-contained experience rather than a continuation.
Quote: Gaming Age - A-
What's great about the Skylanders series is that, beyond the humorous story and light action RPG gameplay, the games are so chock full of content that players can spend weeks trying to play through it all.
Quote: BioGamerGirl - 10
Skylanders Trap Team on tablets matches up well with the home console version of the game. While the tablet version doesn't look quite as good as the next generation version of the game, Skylanders Trap Team still packs a whole lot of high quality content for a tablet release that most other mobile games simply can not compare with.
Quote: Nintendo World Report - 9
Skylanders Trap Team is a fantastic, well-made game. The lengthy story mode is filled with excellent gameplay set in gorgeous environments with top-shelf graphics and sound. The bonus modes, while focused mostly on combat, are a lot of fun.
Quote: TheHDRoom - 4.5 Stars
Even with its creative zigzags that shift Kaos' allegiance for a time to provide new enemies for the Skylanders to chase and jokes for Flynn to crack, Trap Team feels more like a standalone reboot ordered from the top of Activision's food chain; a reaction to increasing competition in the Toys to Life genre that shifts the target demographic back a few years.
Quote: The Escapist - 4.5 Stars
But what exquisite pieces of plastic they are! The designs for the Trap Team Skylanders all have a translucent weapon that's undeniably cool. The expressions on the faces and the poses of the figures telegraph movement and style, and the new Mini Skylanders are all cute as hell.
Quote: Canadian Online Gamers - 89
If there are two things that always astonishes me about any Skylanders game it is the creativity that goes into it and how they don't rely on licensed characters, and Trap Team carries on this heritage. The new Trap Master characters are great.
Quote: Gaming Nexus - 8.8
As with all Skylander games, there is a lot of variety here in the gameplay department. In addition to battling enemies you will do a lot of (simple) puzzle solving. Remember, this is a game designed for the younger gamers in your household so don't expect anything that will truly tax your brain.
Quote: Game Informer - 8.75
Giving Toys for Bob an extra year to work on this sequel paid off, not just with the concept of villains partnering with heroes, but the world they inhabit feeling more alive.
Quote: IGN - 8.2
In most ways, Skylanders Trap Team is the best game in the series. The abundance of inventive and genuinely fun characters, and the inclusion of playable villains, means there's always some amazing new trick to try.
Quote: Joystiq - 3.5 Stars
Gameplay in Trap Team feels distinct from previous series entries as a result. The trap-and-swap mechanic works well, and it makes combat more eventful and strategic than before.
I've only spotted the one 3DS review so far and it is definitely on the negative side.
Quote: Nintendo World Report - 6
Skylanders Trap Team's main gameplay is very mediocre. At its best, it's a passable 3D platformer, and at its worst, it's a stiffly controlled and boring mess. The other gameplay aspects, that is, the focused villain challenges and Skystones card game, are fun, but it's not enough to wash away the tedium of the main game.
High Five's story has been expanded upon to give further details on his personality:
High Five is one of the most skilled sky racers of all the dragonflies. But as the fifth son of the Royal High Flying Dragonflies, he was not allowed to enter any of the racing tournaments that took place each year because of his age. Instead, he was forced to watch from the sidelines as his four older brothers competed for the coveted Trophy of Sparx, which legend has said holds magical properties. One year, during the biggest racing event of the season, High Five learned that the Troll Racing Team had stolen the valuable trophy and were going to use the race to cover their escape. He quickly took action, jumping into the race and using his amazing flying skills to weave and dodge his way to the front of the pack, where he caught up to the trolls and brought them down. For his actions, High Five was given the Trophy of Sparx. Even more importantly, he was made a Skylander, where he now helps protect Skylands from any evildoers.
And in a twist (that forum goers have already spotted on the back of boxes) the other two voted upon names, Flip Wreck and Bat Spin, have also been chosen to be used as the official names for their respective Skylanders.
As for how to get him, starting in mid October Frito-Lay will be running a giveaway of High Five using the Blippar app, you'll just need to scan the back of a specially marked variety pack to enter.
Instead of using Traps to capture the villains the 3DS makes use of its touch screen to capture them, meaning that the villains cannot be used in the console version and vice versa. You can use the villains in regular gameplay but also in some special "boot camp" training levels.
The game also features a multiplayer version of Skystones which you can play online over WiFi, interestingly it's the original form of Skystones seen in Skylanders Giants rather than the new Skystones from the console versions of Trap Team.
The 3DS Starter Pack will come with Gusto, Barkley and a Portal of Power. So no traps and no exclusive alt-deco.
Check out the gallery for some more screenshots of the game and this EvanTubeHD video for footage of the game in action (including a glimpse at a Moon icon and a Sun icon at the bottom of the other elements).

And hey, look at that, darkSpyro is nine years old today!

This reminds me of the years we repeatedly had to go to grandma's house and clean her house because the books were suffocating her. I bet she read at least over 100,000 books in her lifetime, because she never repeated one.
More ironically you couldn't tell off of a first impression because she was Madea Pt.2

WIFT – Atlantic (Women in Film and Television – Atlantic)
FCTA (Les Femmes du Cinéma et de la Télévision en Atlantique)
Founders of the WIFT – Atlantic chapter have worked steadily since August 2008 to open an Atlantic Canadian chapter of the international group, Women in Film and Television.
"There is such vibrant talent among the women in Atlantic Canada – it makes complete sense to bring everyone together in one organization committed to ensuring that the talents and voices of these women are nurtured and celebrated. We're so ready," says founding Chair, Jan Miller.
WIFT is an international organization that was created in 1973 to give women who were struggling to have a voice in Television and in Film a network and support system.
There are now currently 35 chapters worldwide. WIFT continues to grow with a mandate to be a global network dedicated to advancement for women in professional development and achievement in film, video, and other screen-based media.
