Shorter Excerpts (From A Work In Progress)
"The plan would cut the top individual tax rate to 29 percent from 35 percent, establish a single corporate rate and change how foreign income is taxed, eliminate the alternative minimum tax, and bring in $1 trillion in new revenue over 10 years by reducing tax breaks. The senators say it will amount to a net tax cut of $1.5 trillion. We'll know more when all the details of the plan are released."
View: Gang of Six Deficit Plan Could Save the Day - Bloomberg
More proof that GA-Senator Saxby Chambliss is a fucking idiot. The "Gang of Six" (he's one of the six) plan to fix the deficit throws in $1.5 trillion in additional tax cuts. We'll reduce the debt by adding to it! Take a pay cut at work so we can pay off our credit card faster! In a hole? We'll dig our way out!

Cutie pie ~Jared Leto~ had breakfast at the Fifth Floor last week. My spotter says, "Nearby diners said he was very polite, and looked casual (but good!) in his jeans, shirt, and jacket. He had a beanie on, but took it off when he sat down. Looked like he was with a few folks (perhaps a business meeting over breakfast?) And for those that are curious….he had chamomile tea, scrambled eggs, and granola."

A whiskey adventure for you and me.
This is important. The resurgence of craft cocktails is due to the insistence of bartenders who believed, above all, that a drink should be poured with quality ingredients and with a fanatical level of care. This ushered in waves of enthusiasts (you among them) who then attempted to mimic the classics, or adapt, refine, and reinvent. All of this mixing and infusing and wild experimenting was accomplished by a fleet of bartenders nationwide, many of whom are getting by without basic healthcare. (But let's not get into that discussion at the bar.)
Chief among those bartenders is Murray Stenson, a cocktail purist. He is an institution in Seattle, where he's tended bar down at Zig-Zag Cafe and Canon. He's held "Best Bartender" from 2010, though the title is rendered superfluous once you've tried one of his cocktails; you needn't be told to know. Yet he, too, lacks health insurance. After an after-work accident revealed a weakened heart valve, Murray faces harrowing medical debts.
Local bars swiftly orchestrated MurrayAid. Throughout Seattle, then the nation, even still the world, the proceeds of cocktail nights were pooled together to fund Murray's heart surgery and recovery. The events revealed the community beyond simply mixing ingredients in a glass to produce a taste; beyond all else is a reverence that admits there are real, hard-working, damn good people.

Patterns of Organization: The Library of Babel Revisited
Our assignment for next class was to revisit the map that we created for the library of babel and identify three forces that act on the system. We learned about the Markov Chain in Mathematics today so I was influenced by Markov's method using matrices to find variables that over an infinite amount of time converge to a certain value. This stochastic process has some indeterminacy where even if the initial condition is know, there are often infinitely many ways in which the process can evolve.

Insects: Their Natural History and Diversity. Stephan A.
Marshall. 718 pp. Firefly Books, 2006. $95.
Like most people who work with insects, I cut my teeth identifying
insects on what are called "dichotomous keys"—a
series of bifurcating questions about a specimen that must be
answered to ascertain the insect's family. I grew to love this
system of identification in a masochistic sort of way, and I
discouraged my students from "picture-booking" insects
because I wanted them to learn the critical characteristics of each
family. Along the way I filled students' heads with charming trivia
about the spurious vein of syrphid flies, the foot-shaped anal loop
of libellulid dragonflies and the split mesopleuron (a region of the
thorax) of pompilid wasps. I never wondered much about alternative
methods because this was how I had been taught. Yet whenever a
student asked me how I knew that the moth at the blacklight trap was
a tiger moth, I stumbled with a Gestalt definition of the taxon. I
certainly didn't examine the wing veins of the living specimen.
Last year I heard a lecture by Bruce Kirchoff, a biologist at the
University of North Carolina in Greensboro, about a Gestalt method
of recognizing taxa. What he described fit rather well with the way
I identify insect families in the field. In a nutshell, the Gestalt
method suggests that the way we learn taxa is that, rather than
focusing on critical characteristics, we use a type of holistic
processing that allows us to recognize and categorize groups based
on a constellation of characteristics and how they relate to one
another. Often this processing goes on without much thought. We just
"know" when we are looking at, say, a pentatomid bug, but
we are not quite sure why.
This is the background with which I approached Stephen A. Marshall's
book Insects: Their Natural History and Diversity. This
guide to the identification and natural history of the insects of
eastern North America contains incredibly detailed and beautiful
photographs of representatives of the most common insect families.
The preface outlines the way the book is meant to be used: You are
first instructed to go to a set of pictorial flowcharts in the back
of the text. These are dichotomous keys, to be sure, but they are in
a refreshing new color-coded format with figures scattered
generously across the page—right where you need them. No more
"if yes go to couplet 48 on page 337" or "see figure
14G." Once you have an informed guess at the order and family,
you are directed to a family section with detailed photographs,
which richly depict the diversity of representatives of each family.
This is where Gestalt learning takes over. The family theme is
immediately obvious, and the illustrations show its many variations.
There is also a useful text description of each family, packed with
the group's natural history. I cannot wait to try this text in my
insect-biology class. Will my students learn their insect families
as well as their predecessors did? I think they will, and I expect
they will find the process much more enjoyable.
That all said, I do have a few problems with the book. I wish it
contained more morphology, physiology, behavior and ecology at the
beginning so that I could use it as the sole text for an
introductory course in entomology. For years students of insect
biology have been forced to purchase two texts each semester, and
that requirement seems unlikely to change. Also, I think the author
should consider separating the flowchart keys into a slim volume
that a student could carry in the field, leaving the rest of the
massive 7-lb. tome back in the lab to use as a reference.
Overall, though, this is an outstanding contribution to entomology.
It will play an important role in the training of insect lovers for
the foreseeable future.

ANIMATION: Hydrangea Colors: It's All in the Soil
The Hydrangea macrophylla (big-leafed hydrangea) plant is the only known plant that can 'detect' the pH level in surrounding soil!
One of the world's most popular ornamental flowers, it conceals a bouquet of biological and biochemical surprises. The iconic "snowball" shaped hydrangea blooms are a common staple of backyard gardens.
Hydrangea colors ultimately depend on the availability of aluminum ions(Al3+) within the soil.

How to trigger keyboard combination every minute
Hi everyone,
There is no autosave for adobe illustrator cs6 "yet", and I forget to do cltr+s every minute. Is there a way to schedule it so the system triggers cltr+s every minute?
|My System Specs
|14 Nov 2012
Windows 7 32 bit
Check out the Send command in either AutoHotkey_L
or AutoIt
Basically you have to make sure the correct window is the Active Window(has keyboard focus) and send it Control-s. AutoIt may be a bit easier to learn for a beginner. AHK_L I think is a bit more powerful. But either can easily do this for a single application. There are forums associated with each language where you can ask for help. They are both free.
edit: I forgot to mention. They both work on XP or newer Windows. For what you are doing it shouldn't matter if the OS is 32 or 64 bit.

Ants on a log
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ants on a log is a snack made by spreading peanut butter on celery and placing raisins on top. The snack name was first used in the 1950s.[1] The typical peanut butter version of ants on a log is recommended as a healthy snack by the McKinley Health Center at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.[2] There are numerous variations, including:
- Gnats on a log: Currants[3]
- Ants on vacation: Without "ants", or no raisins[2]
- Ants on a Slip 'n Slide: Add honey on top of the peanut butter before adding raisins[4]

Understanding the audience is at the core of strategic communications—and knowing how to engage is what gives messaging a true impact. It's the right content delivered in the right medium.
We leverage messaging and values developed as a brand, and extend those to internal communications. Just as this powers consumer loyalty, it helps drive employee loyalty, and employee success.
Well-crafted design is at the heart of Vignette. In an increasingly visual world, the language of design enhances and expands emotional connections to brands.
Technology gives companies better ways to connect, and brands who recognize this gain an advantage in connecting with employees. Video, social networks, mobile apps— we blend communications with technology to engage employees wherever they are.
Video improves productivity and flexibility by connecting employees to their work. In a world where employees can create their own videos, they not only get to share the information that matters to them, they also get to feel personally connected to the company.
Bringing employees together is where meaningful relationships are truly formed. We harness the power of the offline world to help drive content and connections through face time.
Unlike most other agencies we focus on employees so they can better serve their customers. Our mission is to drive engagement from within by innovating internal communications.
Great communication isn't amplifying the noise across channels or making the graphics more colorful. We believe driving engagement starts by giving employees the tools to connect to the company in meaningful ways, in turn helping them push the brand forward.
Our culture isn't defined by a mission statement or marketing materials. It shows itself when our people bring their best everyday and work like a team to deliver solutions that drive value for Vignette and our clients. Our culture stands out during a brainstorm meeting to come up with a solution to a client's challenge, working late to finalize a pitch for new business, at the local bar celebrating a win, or when a team member is in need of help and someone proactively pitches in.
Our people are better defined by their actions – that's where you see our culture in full effect. From the newest member of the team to our senior leaders, support and dedication is embedded into how we approach our goals and how we work with each other to achieve them. We all own the outcome, we're all pushing each other toward greatness, and most importantly, we're all in this together.

A white wine normally made from red grapes, usually Pinot Noir, it contains yeast from 'Der frische Traubenmost', grape juice, so has so much "fizz" the bottles can not be made airtight, otherwise they would explode. This means unlike most wines they can not be stored sideways, because the contents would leak out leaving a puddle and an empty bottle.
With 4 percent alcohol it is more alcoholic than it tastes, so snacks to accompany it include roasted chestnuts and Pfaelzer Saumagen - stuffed belly of pork, but much more frequently the favorite is an Onion Pie or Flan, which in Germany is called Zwiebelkuchen.
Literally Onion Cake.
Federweisser does not keep for long or travel well, and despite refrigerated trucks etc., is still difficult to find the wine outside Germany, Switzerland and Austria, so if ever in those countries during the crucial few autumn weeks of late August, September and the beginning of October it is certainly worth trying.
However although Zwiebelkuchen is a favorite accompaniment to a glass or two, or three, of Federweisser in Germany it is also a dish to be enjoyed without "new wine", and wherever you are in the world.
There are many traditional, regional and family Zwiebelkuchen recipes, often baked using yeast dough as a base, but this Onion Pie, or Onion Flan, recipe is easy with a delicious crust, but as there is no yeast or rising time it's also quick.
"Well tested" over the years, it comes from Baden Wuerttemberg in South West Germany, the Black Forest area.
For the flan casing:
2 3/4 cups All Purpose Flour
1 cup Butter, diced and kept cold
1/2 cup Cold Water
Pinch Salt
1/2 lb Bacon diced (as a vegetarian alternative just use sufficient oil to coat the onions)
5 medium Onions, sliced whole and cut across into 'half moons'
Pinch Sugar
1/2 to 1 tsp Caraway seeds (when making it for the first time, might be best to use the smaller quantity)
2 Egg yolks
1 1/2 cups Sour cream
1/2 tsp Salt, 1/2 tsp Pepper, pinch Nutmeg
Flan Case
Using a large bowl add cold diced butter to flour and mix. Slowly add water, continually mixing, until dough forms into a soft mixture with some small solid pieces of butter remaining. These pieces of butter add to the texture of the finished pastry.
Chill, wrapped, for about an hour.
Lightly oil quiche or pizza pan and line with the pastry, fork the flan case to prevent the pastry rising, and chill for further half an hour.
(This is a yeast free Zwiebelkuchen crust but ready made pizza dough or bread dough from the chill cabinet can be substituted, however then the flan case cooking instructions must be altered to fit).
Fry diced bacon over medium heat until crisp, remove and drain off remaining fat on kitchen paper.
Stirring occasionally cook onions, with pinch of sugar, in remaining bacon fat over medium heat until light gold, translucent, and caramelized, add the caraway seeds and season with salt and pepper.
Return cooked bacon to the onion mixture and combine, spread over pastry flan case and bake in a pre-warmed oven at 400 F until the pastry is a light golden, about 20 minutes.
Mix egg yolks, sour cream and a pinch of nutmeg together until thoroughly blended and pour mixture over the onions and bacon. Return to oven for 10 to 15 minutes, until egg and sour cream mixture has set.
Take Zwiebelkuchen from the oven and allow to cool.
Sometimes a crushed garlic and chopped parsley is added to the onion mixture as it fries, or 4 oz finely grated cheese to the sour cream mixture, but these are just options that add an "extra something", and are not traditional.
Zwiebelkuchen is usually sliced into sections and eaten as it is, an accompaniment to Federweisser to minimize the effects of the deceptively alcoholic wine, or with any wine either then or at other times of the year, and also served as a meal together with a green or mixed salad.
Treberwurst is another German harvest time specialty from wine growing areas using grapes and sausages, which might sound a strange combination but it works.
Treberwurst originated in the vineyards as a meal eaten by the field workers, and uses the leftovers, the 'must', grape seeds and skins, from the wine making, to first marinate, then to wrap and cook the sausages over an open fire, however this is an adapted recipe we can all use.
1 lb sausages, with skins
6 oz shallots, finely chopped
1/2 lb large grapes
Large glass white wine
Freshly ground pepper
Pinch Sugar
Halve and de-seed grapes, just cover sausages and grape seeds with water, bring to below boiling point and simmer until sausages are cooked through. 30 to 45 minutes depending on the thickness of the sausages.
Remove sausages and cool in cold water, peel and cut into 1/2 inch thick slices, marinate together with grape halves for at least one hour.
Remove sausage slices from marinade, fry on both sides until crisp, take from pan and keep warm.
Put shallots and sugar into pan until lightly caramelized, add grape halves and heat through until beginning to soften, add wine and reduce by two thirds over low heat.
Season with pepper.
Pour sauce over cooked sausage slices, and serve the Treberwurst "as is" with bread as it used to be eaten in the vineyards during harvest. Or with mixed or green salad, a potato dish, perhaps one of the many different potato salads for example or the cooked potato and leek combination in the photo.
Guten Appetit!

A Reader Comments:
"I've been searching all of my adult life for this kind of wisdom! I have listened to Irvin Baxter for 13 years and the Prophecy Club off and on for the same amount of time. I felt like I only had bits and pieces of the big picture. Then I hit the "wisdom and understanding jackpot" the next night when I typed "Prophecy" into a google search and out of all the sights that were available, I clicked on Tim's site first! It was like God pulled a needle out of a haystack for me in answer to my prayer from the day before!"

Avalanche head start in race for playoff spot, and the column Roy mentioned
My Monday column on the Avalanche will be posted overnight and in the morning paper. Once it's available, it can be accessed here.
I cut out a brief analysis of the meaning of the 12-1 start, mostly for space, but also because I didn't want anyone to accuse me of joining the forces attempting to ruin sports — the champions of "metrics" and their seemingly daily invention of a new ridiculous statistic.
(Dorks, please go play in the corner and give us the games back.)
But I'll toss this out here.
Under Patrick Roy, the Avalanche already has 24 points in 13 games. I have no doubt Colorado will slow down, slump and have trials as the regular season continues. But this is a significant head start in the race for at least a playoff spot.
In the NHL's most recent full season — 2011-12 — the 30 teams averaged 92 points in their 82 games. For that season, at least, that was the true .500 standard, with the numbers skewed by the three-point games. In other words, it drives me crazy any time a coach tries to peddle the idea that, say, a 12-12-5 record is ".500 hockey." No, that's 12 wins in 29 games. A point a game is not ".500 hockey." Buying into that is falling for the NHL's contrivance to make records look deceptively better than they really are.
The average points will be slightly different each season, but if it's in the neighborhood of 92 again, Colorado could reach that by getting only 68 points in the remaining 69 games. (For example, 30-31-8 would do the trick.) Predicting the number of points needed to make the playoffs can be tricky, especially under the new alignment and tweaked scheduling, but for the sake of argument, let's say 96 points would be good enough in the Western Conference. In that case, Colorado could be back in the postseason by posting 72 points in the 69 games left on the schedule.
That's doable.
Now about WAR …
P.S.: I've been asked about Roy mentioning a 2000 column I wrote in his post-game news conference Saturday night. I wasn't going to mention this, because I feel a bit awkward and I am not a fan of grandstanding. But here's the context: Roy was asked if his 2000 experience affected the way he was reacting to and handling Semyon Varlamov's situation. "The answer is yes," he said. "I guess Varly is like me, appreciating that nobody is making a judgment. The best article I think was written by Terry Frei and he said let's not make a judgment before the process is done. I thought that was something I appreciated at the time and I'm sure Varly appreciates seeing that support from our fans and a lot of people around him."
Here's that 2000 column. Yes, the Post website looked a little different in those days. And I took Roy's point under advisement.

Impact of smoking on the outcome of patients treated with drug-eluting stents: 1-year results from the prospective multicentre German Drug-Eluting Stent Registry (DES.DE).
Summary of "Impact of smoking on the outcome of patients treated with drug-eluting stents: 1-year results from the prospective multicentre German Drug-Eluting Stent Registry (DES.DE)."
Cigarette smoking strongly increases morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular causes, but the relevance of smoking in patients treated with drug-eluting stents (DES) is unknown.
To assess the impact of smoking on the presentation and outcome of patients treated with DES. METHODS AND
We analyzed data from the prospective multicentre German Drug-Eluting Stent Registry (DES.DE) and identified 1,122 patients who had never smoked and 1,052 patients who were current smokers. Smokers were younger (56.5 vs. 69.4 years, p < 0.0001), more often males, with less frequent diabetes and hypertension compared to non-smokers. Smokers presented more often with acute coronary syndromes. After a mean follow-up of 12.5 months, smokers had both higher mortality (4.6 vs. 2.7%, p < 0.05) and myocardial infarction (MI) rates (4.9 vs. 3%, p < 0.01). There was no significant difference between smokers and non-smokers in the rate of target vessel revascularization (9.8 vs. 11.4%, p = 0.26). Major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (defined as the composite of death, MI and stroke, MACCE) were higher in smokers (10.6 vs. 6.1%, p < 0.001). Moreover, after adjustment for baseline clinical and angiographic variables, smoking continued to be a strong independent predictor for MACCE (OR = 2.34, 95% CI 1.49-3.68). In a subgroup analysis, we found that the increased risk of smoking was most prominent in patients presenting with stable angina pectoris (OR = 3.71, 95% CI 1.24-2.57, p < 0.05). Smoking almost doubled the risk for MACCE in acute MI patients, though this did not reach statistical significance (adjusted OR = 1.91, 95% CI 0.93-3.94, p = 0.74).
This large multicentre DES registry provides evidence that smokers treated with DES, despite lower incidence of predisposing risk factors for atherosclerosis, experience higher rates of death and MI compared to non-smokers, particularly in the setting of stable coronary artery disease. Smoking has only marginal effects on target vessel revascularization rates in patients treated with DES.

Formally, these works often use Minimalism, Modernism, Abstraction and Still Life as key reference points—often with the most minimal of gestures and/or humor. In the process the artist manages to explore the nature of perception, the physical embodiment of time, and how context and framing help to shape meaning and experience.
Daniel von Sturmer was has exhibited at numerous national and international venues including the 52nd Venice Biennale, where he represented Australia in the Australian Pavilion; the Gothenburg Museum of Art, Sweden; the Hamburger Bahnhoff Museum, Berlin; the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, Melbourne; and the Auckland Art Gallery, New Zealand.

Glancing at the names, one might surmise this is a psycho-core cannibal-metal sickfest. Not quite, as Blood on the Wall is surprisingly more of a raw, quirky, Pixies/Pavement-influenced offering who are fine in their own right. But opener Psychic Ills is the real prize here, featuring hypnotic bass grooves, tasty tripped-out atmospherics and dance-rock contortions, making them an unlikely cross between Cologne circa 1971 and Williamsburg circa 2002. For further proof, pick up their intriguing debut, Dins. Denton's Fra Pandolf is itself no slouch; the band's dense, overdriven guitar tapestries are punctuated by woozy vocal interludes and strategic breaks from the bone-crushing drum rattles. Show up early to see one of the pillars of the new Denton weird.

Replace a broken AirPort slot in older PowerBooks
Why not just buy a pcmcia wireless card? You can pick them up for about $10-20. It's a lot cheaper than an adapter for your airport card. Also, they're 802.11g, 5 times faster than the old airport cards. Check out dealmac.com for the best prices (I don't have any connection to them other than as a satisfied visitor to their site). Search pcmcia and 802.11.
That's Exactly What the Aria Extreme Is
Um, that's exactly what the Aria Extreme is--an 802.11g CardBus card. What makes it different from other brands is that it's the same chipset Apple uses for their Airport Extreme cards, so the Mac recognizes it as if it were a built-in card.
This subject is being discussed at MacIntouch as well. Someone there recommended the Motorola WN825G (802.11g) and I found one at shentech.com for $20.63 USD shipped! Works like a charm: much better than TiBook internals because the two antennaes are built into the module and sit outside the chassis of the computer.

Trenton city council, New Jersey, is under fire after it emerged that a contract row could result in public buildings running out of toilet paper. Civil servants are furious and there is talk of staff walking out of work until the situation is resolved. We caught up with Trenton Councilman George Muschal to find out the latest
Q: Hello George, so how did this happen and what's the plan?
A: City Hall had put an order in for $4,000 worth of paper cups and the council red flagged it. We asked them 'What are you doing?' and they didn't want to answer questions. We had to flag it. Everything's going up and we have a big problem with stealing, 200 cases have been stolen and nobody's keeping watch.
A new order goes to a vote and I think they'll get a yes. If not we'll have another vote Thursday.
Q: So could we have the nightmare scenario of public buildings being without paper?
A: I think we'll be fine, there's enough in each building to get through. We should be back to normal by Monday at the latest. I said I'll buy 100 rolls myself if it comes to it. I'll step up, even if no one else does. It wouldn't be the first time; I offered to buy generators when we had flooding.
Q: How can you tackle the stealing problem?
A: All these products are wide open in public spaces and nobody's watching. Put a lock on it! I'm an ex-cop and we used to check people's ID every time they went in and out of public buildings.

Set up an AirPort Base Station for fast 802.11n-only use
I replaced a wireless g D-Link router with the AEBS. Since I have both n clients (MacBook Pro) and g clients (Palm TX, Wii, Nintendo DS and iBook) I initially set up the AEBS in b/g/n mode. Later I realized that I could use both routers to have a g network and a faster n only network.
Set up an AirPort Base Station for fast 802.11n-only use
This is what I did as well and it works great.

text: Patrick Jason moves to California to secure the Job of his dreams - studying the biochemistry of plants. But when no reputable company is willing to hire the inexperienced young twenty-two year old, he turns to the only place that will allow him to work with plants. A medical marijuana dispensary known as the Green Room. It's a classic fish out of water tale as the straight laced Patrick must work with the wacky Green Room employees like Raffi, his chronically high boss, Charles a.k.a 9mm, the super scary security guard, Maureen, a girl who values weed over people, Autumn, the spacey cashier/ activist who can't remember what cause she is picketing for, and Brian, the prankster extraordinaire. With the Green Room facing constant bankruptcy, Patrick's green thumb and sane perspective may be the Green Room's last hope.

On Derek's defense, again
In 1997, during his age 36 season, Cal Ripken, a far superior defensive short stop than Derek Jeter, moved over to the Hot Corner. He knew he couldn't man short, and for the good of the team, he shifted to his right. In 2009, Derek Jeter will play his age 35 season, and the debate over his defense has raged for years. This weekend, Dugout Central chimed in on the issue and wondered when and to where the captain would shift positions. Jeter has been vocal in insisting that he's not going to move off short, but at some point soon, he should. · (88) ·
Looking forward on the cusp of the Hot Stove LeagueBy · Comments
I was on the phone with my dad tonight during game four of this lopsided World Series, and as is often the case, our talk turned to the Yankees. "I'm a bit worried about the off-season," my dad said. "The Yanks have so many holes to fill."
His voiced tailed off a bit at the end, and we both knew what went unspoken. The Yanks are on the cusp of a rather important off-season, one that could make or break the team over the next few seasons. They have a lot of old players coming off the books, a lot of financial resources at hand, and a few clear needs. They also have an aging core of players and a few needs, tougher to fill, that aren't so clear.
On the flip side, the 2008-2009 winter also offers up a rare combination of free agents. One of the game's best pitchers and one of the league's premier hitters are both free agents at the peak of their baseball prowess. Rare are the days when young players hit free agency at the right times in their lives, and in CC Sabathia and Mark Teixeira, the Yankees have two obvious targets who would both fill two of the team's glaring holes. Whether or not they can actually land them is a different story.
If the Phillies manage to dispatch the listless Tampa Bay Rays this evening — and with Cole Hamels on the mound, the odds are in their favor — we'll be two weeks away from the start of the free agent frenzy. Tonight, A-Rod won't opt out from his contract, but bigger moves await on the horizon.
For some reason, over the last few years, some baseball insecurities have crept into New York's attitude. Once upon a time, the Yanks had swagger. The team, coming off of four World Series in five years, was good, and they knew it. Free agents — Mike Mussina, Jason Giambi — wanted to come to New York. They didn't hedge their bets. They were the best; the Yankees had money; and everyone went home happy.
But the Yanks have won no World Series since then. For the first time since the early 90s, the team didn't make the playoffs, and before that, they hadn't advanced to the World Series since 2003. What if, fans have wondered, the team is just becoming a bloated semblance of a team populated by overpaid has-beens on the wrong sides of their careers? Is Bobby Abreu a Yankee or a Philadelphia reject? Are we really going to suffer through another season of Hideki Matsui's hobbled knees?
Of course, it's not as bad as the naysayers would have you believe, but it is not wine and roses in the Bronx right now. The Yanks are a flawed team in need of some fixing. But what happens if the Yanks can't sign these very alluring targets?
Well, on the one hand, it wouldn't be so great if the Yanks don't sign Teixeira — my personal first choice — or Sabathia. It may make them go out and waste money on lesser pitchers. But on the other, the baseball world will not end. Even as a flawed team, the Yanks managed to hammer out 89 wins this year. Soon, they'll have to replace Jorge Posada; he's one of those not-so-obvious holes. But in 2009, they'll have him back and healthy. They'll hopefully have September's version of Robinson Cano as well as a healthy Chien-Ming Wang.
Tomorrow, or later this week, when the World Series dust settles, the rumors will fly. But for now, we can't let the worries of next month get too overwhelming. The Yankees are still the Yankees, and money talks. The Yankees need to spend; the players want to get the best deals; and the pieces will fall right enough, if not just right as we all imagine them to in our little Yankee-centric bubble. Optimism becomes us. This is, after all, Yankee baseball.
World Series Game 4: Rays @ PhilsBy · Comments
Tonight's game promises to be less … chaotic, than last night's. The weather is nice and clear, so there will be no 10pm first pitch tonight, and you have to imagine we won't see the two teams be so self-destructive in the later innings again.
I've watched the replay of Carlos Ruiz's walk-off "hit" a few times, and I can't say for sure that the ball would have gone foul. It looks like it might have, but it was far enough from the line to make me think it would have stayed fair. Oh, by the way, that was the Phillies' first hit with RISP that actually scored a run in the series. They're up 2-1 in the series, but you can only rely on the long ball so much.
Cupcakes Blanton will be facing his first American League club since his midsummer trade to the land of cheesesteaks. He was 5-12 with a 4.96 ERA & 1.42 WHIP with Oakland this year, and then better, but not great after the trade, going 4-0, 4.20, 1.37 with the Phightin's. His strikeout rate has never been good, so he'll have to hope they don't hit them where they ain't.
Needless to say this is a big game for Tampa, who certainly doesn't want to go down 3-1 in the series with Cole Hamels looming in Game 5. Andy Sonnanstine is the Rays' version of Ian Kennedy – fringy stuff with excellent command – except he's already mastered the art of keeping the ball in the lower third of the zone, which is what he'll have to do tonight to keep the Phillies in check.
The game doesn't start until 8, so feel free to use this as an open thread to discuss today's NFL action.

The sweet sounds of Sunday night
Joe Morgan and Jon Miller could be headed for a 2009 break-up, says Bob Raissman. ESPN is seriously considering moving Morgan off of the Sunday night broadcast. This would be great news for those of us who find ourselves shouting at Joe Morgan's inane broadcast missives every Sunday night during the baseball season, and I have to wonder if this is in response to a growing segment of baseball fans who can't stand these prominent broadcasters. If only FOX would do the same with Buck and McCarver… · (14) ·
Straw to Joba: Don't do what I did
Via Jim Baumbach, Darryl Strawberry has a few words of caution for Joba regarding his DUI arrest. Strawman, who's problems are well documented and impacted what could have been a Hall of Fame career, suggests he seek out The Captain for advice because Jeter's mastered the art of being a superstar in New York. I've said this before but I'll say it again: Joba's rise to stardom in NY was meteoric, but the fall from grace could be even swifter. Hopefully he realizes this. (h/t Seamus) · (10) ·
Keeping the news in perspectiveBy · Comments
October is a slow month for a baseball team not in the playoffs. With a general gag order from the Commissioner's Office and no free agents yet, the other 28 teams that didn't make the Fall Classic are in a bit of a holding pattern with organizational meetings and preliminary talks with their own free agents.
So all we're left with is the same old-same old. Jon Heyman rehashes the rumors. Ken Rosenthal tries to find some new angle. Only ESPN, it seems, refrains from going overboard with the "anonymous scouts" and "one AL executive" stories. In two weeks, of course, that resolve will be thrown out the window, but for now, at least one sports news organization seems to appreciate the World Series for the games, bad managing or not.
Nowhere is this lack of news more disturbing than in New York. The city's tabloids thrive on the constant New York attention, and when a team from Philadelphia plays a team from Tampa in the World Series, New York must take second stage to the rest of baseball. Needless to say, no one paid to write likes that too much.
To sell papers, to keep people talking about the Yanks and about baseball, these papers and the bloggers that follow the team will post just about anything. Five years ago, hardly anyone had heard of the Arizona Fall League. Now, columnists and bloggers salivate over the daily results from an instructional league with little or no perspective on what those results mean.
Meanwhile, on the free agent front, any time a potential free agent — or a potential free agent's teammate's brother's cousin's former secretary — breaths a word about New York, it's front page news. No free agents want to come to New York! None of the Yanks' young prospects are any good! The sky is falling!
Over the last few years, folks in politics have had to adapt to a world in which the Internet exposes everything. Say something stupid in speech in California, and YouTube will have it available to the world within a few hours. Now baseball is suffering through the same problem. We have unfettered access to Minor League numbers and games. We have limitless access to everything but clubhouse insiders, and the response is overwhelmingly wrong-headed.
Instead of allowing for negotiating strategies — by saying you don't want to go somewhere, you raise your asking price — instead of allowing for the struggles of youth, writers and bloggers write off General Managers while displaying a willful ignorance of the role a GM and his scouting staff plays. These same writers throw in the towel for 2009 before the free agent signing period even begins.
Right now, no one knows anything about the next few months. We know that the Yanks have a lot of money and a bunch of options on the table. We can speculate until the cows — or Eric Bruntlett — comes home, but in the end, it's all meaningless. For now, we should just step back from the ledge, enjoy the World Series and worry about who's signing where and what young kids will play a role next year in a few weeks. Anything else is just idle, uninformed speculation.

Marquez spotty in spot startBy · Comments
That's the kind of quality title you've come to expect here at RAB…
AzL Peoria (15-4 loss to the other Peoria)
Kevin Russo: 2 for 3, 2 R – picked off first … 9 for his last 14 (.643)
Juan Miranda: 0 for 3, 1 BB, 2 K – 0 for his last 14 after a 10 for 20 binge
Jeff Marquez: 2.1 IP, 4 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 3 BB, 3 K, 1-3 GB/FB – 30 of 55 pitches were strikes (54.5%) … making the spot start in Phil Hughes' rotation spot since he started the Rising Stars Showcase on Friday
HWB Waikiki had their game rained out. Not sure if or when they'll make this game up.
World Series Game 3: Rays @ PhilliesBy · Comments
Jamie Moyer's thrown 3,781.2 innings in his Major League career, regular season & postseason combined, but for the first time tonight he'll take the mound in a World Series game. Matt Garza just wrapped up his first full season in the big leagues, and has thrown just 336.2 big league innings in his career, but like Moyer he'll be making his first World Series start tonight. Sometimes life just isn't fair.
Moyer's last three postseason starts (dating back to '07, obviously) have gotten progressively worse:
6 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 2 K ('07 NLDS Game 3)
4 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 3 BB, 3 K ('08 NLDS Game 3)
1.1 IP, 6 H, 6 R, 6 ER, 0 BB, 2 K ('08 NLCS Game 3)
Matt Garza, on the other hand, has gotten progressively better each time out this postseason:
6 IP, 7 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 4 BB, 4 K (ALDS Game 3)
6 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 5 K (ALCS Game 3)
7 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 9 K (ALCS Game 7)
It's hard to imagine Garza pitching any better than he did against the Sox six days ago, but stranger things have happened. The cards are stacked against Moyer so severely that this game just might be a reserve lock. That's why they play the games I guess.
The weather in Philly isn't looking so hot, but there appears to be a big enough window for them to get the game in. ESPN's Playoff Blog has an update saying that Rays' manager Joe Maddon was informed that they hope to start the game at 9:30.
Feel free to use this as an open thread until the game starts. Play nice.

Willie's options
While the Yankees and Larry Bowa won't be reunited this fall, I wouldn't expect to see Willie Randolph back in the Bronx either. The former Mets manager turned down a job in DC so that he could keep his name in the running for the Milwaukee managerial opening. Considering that Willie would have become the heir-apparent in Washington, at this point, it sounds like Willie will hold out for another top slot and isn't too keen on joining someone else's staff. · (4) ·

Vegan Casseroles Blog Tour!
By now I'm sure you've heard some of the buzz about Julie Hasson's newest book, "Vegan Casseroles." Julie is quite a dynamo - she's written loads of great cookbooks (including one of my favorites, "Vegan Diner"), she used to run a vegan food cart in Portland called Native Bowl (yum!), and now she's busy launching a vegan & gluten-free baking mix called Julie's Original.
Somehow, in the midst of all that, she also wrote this excellent casserole book. Casserole recipes are often super heavy on the eggs and dairy - since they rely on those ingredients to bind everything together. It's so fun to finally have a whole book of vegan casserole recipes!
ready to go in the oven
The first recipe I tried was the Italian Stuffed Peppers with Fennel and Garlic. This recipe called for TVP (texturized vegetable protein), which I hadn't used in years! Combined with some cooked rice that I already had on hand, this whole thing came together in no time at all. The flavors were absolutely delicious - I especially loved the fennel seeds in spice mix.
I made this dish on a day of the week when I don't typically return home from teaching until later in the evening. Casseroles are so great that way. I made it ahead of time, and had Mr. VE&T pop it in the oven at the appointed time. And then I came home to a delicious dinner! The recipe says it will make you eight halves, and I only got seven. That said, I picked out some pretty giant bell peppers, so I wasn't surprised. We enjoyed these for dinner two nights in a row, plus I had some for lunch for a few days after that. I loved that this dish came together quickly, was packed with protein, was quite low-cal, and made a ton of food!
after baking!
In fact, Mr. VE&T loved these stuffed peppers so much that he made a batch all on his own for our recent rainbow potluck! He used little mini bell peppers for that occasion and made about 30 halves with the mini peppers.
Like a lot of recipes in this book, you can take the "make it from scratch" route and make your own pasta sauce (she provides a recipe), or you can take the "I want something super easy" route and use store-bought sauce.
Next up on my list of recipes to try was the Creamy Spinach Florentine. Oh dear, this was SO GOOD. The sauce recipe made a ton of sauce and I thought it was going to be too much... but once you mix it all together, the result is a super creamy and rich casserole dish that was not lacking at all. The sauce also calls for sherry and nutmeg, both of which imparted a more sophisticated flavor to the dish.
The recipe suggested using frozen spinach, but I'd rather use fresh spinach, so I just steamed up a pound of fresh spinach and chopped it up. It definitely seems to me that these recipes are easily adaptable and quite versatile. Even Mr. VE&T who is an eager omni eater totally loved this and said "I couldn't have enjoyed this more if it had been made with cheese!"
This dinner was a bit more indulgent than my average weeknight dinner, but seriously, no regrets. I loved it. After I made it I also saw that Julie gives an option to reduce the cashews in the sauce a bit, so maybe I will try that variation next time. There are a load of mac and cheese type recipes in "Vegan Casseroles," and I think I will slowly try my way through them all. For years now I've pretty much avoided vegan versions of mac n cheese, but this dish totally lured me back in. Next up we'll probably try the "Boozy Baked Penne with Caramelized Onions." Doesn't that sound crazy good??
This dish had really excellent flavors - light, fresh, and tangy. We served this with a giant side salad and then some birthday dessert for my mom, so it was just great. That said, this was a lighter dish, and in my opinion, needs a salad or another side dish to be just right. Everyone loved it - including the healthy-palette folks and the not-at-all-health-oriented folks, so that alone makes it quite a winner in my book.
It's also worth mentioning that the book is very friendly to gluten-free folks, especially since Julie herself has been gluten-free for a few years now. The result is that almost all of the recipes in the book are either naturally gf, or easily adapted to gf needs.
Taco Casserole - straight out of the oven!
all served up and ready to eat!
The last recipe I've made (so far!) was the Taco Casserole. This recipe also called for TVP, and came together really quickly - just a matter of minutes really! It called for vegan cheese, but I don't keep any vegan cheese around. Instead I had some homemade noochy queso sauce that I poured on top and that was a nice addition. We got four hearty servings out of this dish. The serving suggestion of lettuce and tomatoes was a really important part of the final presentation. It was nice to have something so crisp and fresh like the lettuce along with the spicy, meaty casserole. In fact, next time I think I will make even more veggies to go with it, since unlike the other recipes I tried, this one didn't have that many veggies in the recipe itself.
Vegan Casseroles has a variety of rich and creamy casserole recipes, along with some that are lighter. Some of the recipes call for pre-made ingredients like "vegan sour cream," or "frozen hashbrowns," or "vegan cheese." If you're like me, and don't usually buy many products like that, obviously you can skip those recipes or just skip those ingredients - or knock yourself out and make the same thing from scratch. That said, there are some really amazing "from-scratch" sauce recipes in this book that are truly delicious and that don't require a ton of effort or weird ingredients.
I think almost everyone is guaranteed to find a few standby recipes in this book that they will really love and will come back to again and again. I'm glad to have this book, especially because it's hard to find tasty and reliable vegan casserole recipes. Casseroles are so great for holidays, potlucks, big gatherings, or when you want to cook on the weekend and eat all week. This book definitely meets those needs and I'm looking forward to trying a lot more of the recipes.
Two Giveaways!
#1) I was lucky to receive a copy of the book in exchange for participating in the blog tour... and then publishers accidentally sent me another copy! So, happily for you, I have a copy to give away. I'm happy to open it up to my international readers as well as US and Canadian readers. To enter, just leave a comment here on this post. I'll pick a winner on October 31st (Halloween!).
#2) Also, in conjunction with this blog tour, Julie's publisher (Running Press) is holding a special giveaway you can enter to win a Breville Smart Oven, and five runners-up will win a copy of Vegan Casseroles. That's pretty rad. That giveaway closes on November 12th.

In response to:
From ebonics to boecconomy is all the same with this grifter in chief. He's all bs and the stinch is getting worse even when you're downwind.
When President Barack Obama and others on the left are not busy admonishing the rest of us to be "civil" in our discussions of political issues, they are busy letting loose insults, accusations and smears against those who dare to disagree with them.
Like so many people who have been beaten in a verbal encounter, and who can think of clever things to say the next day, after it is all over, President Obama, after his clear loss in his debate with Mitt Romney, called Governor Romney a "phony."
