EMFs are Invisible, Environmental Toxins – and they are making Many of us Sick
Today, EMF protection for you and your family is more important then ever. According to a recent news release issued by the World Health Organization "Electrical Hypersensitivity" (EHS), an allergic-like reaction to Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMFs), is a growing worldwide health concern.
The new scientific evidence linking EMFs to many adverse health conditions and diseases is very compelling. Countries like Sweden, Germany, Russia and Australia, among others, have recently taken steps to protect their citizens from harmful EMFs as a significant portion of the population in these countries are now displaying adverse health symptoms related to EMF exposure.
The Swedish government recognized "Electrical Hypersensitivity" as a physical impairment and in 2001 calculated that 3.1 per cent of its population is severely affected – that's over 250,000 people.
In Canada, EHS is still an unrecognized illness, therefore as many as one million EHS suffers remain undiagnosed and untreated by the medical community. Instead they are given pharmaceuticals in an attempt to treat the symptoms but not the root cause of the problem. If you suspect EMFs may be making you sick perhaps you should have consult with a professional EMF expert and have your home inspected to help safeguard the health of you and your family.
"Electromagnetic (EMF) pollution may be the most significant form of pollution human activity has produced in this century, all the more dangerous because it is an invisible and insensible "toxin."
Dr. Andrew Weil, Natural Health Expert

November, 2008: Living near Electrical Transmission lines Doubles risk or dying from Dementia
September, 2008: European Parliament Recommends Stricter EMF Safety Limits

December, 2007: The Saskatoon Star Phoenix: Power sparks allergy
November, 2007: InsideToronto.ca: Convenience may be causing people to get Sick
The steady increase in exposure to EMF energy in homes, schools and in the workplace has been linked to many of today's unexplainable "new-age" health problems including sleep disorders, unexplainable muscle and joint pain, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, depression, headaches, dizziness, ringing in the ears (tinnitus) as well as MS-like symptoms such as tingling, tremors and numbness and many others. EMF exposure has also been linked to the huge recent increases in chronic diseases like Alzheimer's disease, tinnitus, diabetes, hypertension, ALS and MS. The health of our children is rapidly deteriorating with the rates of childhood cancer, autism, ADD/ADHD all skyrocketing in recent years. Why... because they are slowly being poisoned by our outdated electrical system and the unsafe technology we have embraced and welcomed in to our homes.

Well there you go have your home inspected for your EMF, might be your cause. if not then definatley look into other medical maladies that might be the cause.

Respond to Review of Cafe 821
by robpaterson
Review: I stayed at a hotel downtown and decided to try this place because I am vegan, and they deliver. I ordered the Buffalo Tofu Sandwich, which was so good that I ordered it twice. The first time I opted for onion rings, where excellent, the second time I asked for fried artichoke hearts (as a separate side), which were unbelievably good. The herbed orzo was a disappointment (did the job, just not amazing), but overall, if what I ordered is any indication of the quality of the other vegetarian items on the menu, I will definitely order from this place again if I am ever in Richmond. ACTUALLY... I was just informed that the Buffalo sauce AND the onion rings are NOT vegan, but I am certain the fellow I spoke with over the phone when I was there said they were vegan. So if you're vegan... BEWARE. Finally, I am extremely grateful that they deliver. If you are staying downtown, there is almost nothing for vegetarians (many restaurants downtown don't even have a single vegetarian dish on the menu, although most will make one if you ask), and many places either close early or open late or are not opened at all on the weekends, so the fact that they are one of the few vegan-friendly places that deliver is hugely helpful.

Medicaid Formula:
Differences in Funding Ability among States Often Are Widened
GAO-03-620: Published: Jul 10, 2003. Publicly Released: Aug 11, 2003.
Additional Materials:

Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
A primary goal in establishing Medicaid's statutory formula, whereby states with lower per capita incomes (PCI) receive higher rates of federal reimbursement for program costs, was to narrow differences among states in their ability to fund Medicaid services. States' ability to fund services depends on their financial resources in relation to their number of and costs to serve people in poverty. GAO and others have testified before Congress that the current formula does not address wide differences among states in their ability to fund their Medicaid programs and that the formula's reliance on PCI is the primary cause. GAO was asked to determine the extent to which the formula narrows these differences and to identify factors that impede further narrowing of differences. To evaluate the extent to which the formula narrows differences in states' funding ability, GAO used an alternative to PCI that more directly measures states' resources, number of people in poverty, and cost of providing services to this population. Using this measure, GAO determined the effect of the current formula by comparing states' funding ability before and after receiving their federal matching aid. If differences in funding ability were eliminated, the formula would have reduced differences by 100 percent.
The Medicaid formula narrows the average difference in states' funding ability by 20 percent but often widens the gap between individual states and the national average. Although the receipt of federal matching aid moves 30 states closer to the national average, making the average difference in funding ability smaller, it also moves 21 states farther away from the average, widening the average difference. These 21 states include 3 that are among the states with the largest populations in poverty--California, Florida, and New York. After federal matching aid is added, states' funding ability ranges from 26 percent below the national average for two states to 179 percent above for another. Because of the formula's current structure, in many instances, two states devoting similar proportions of their own resources to Medicaid can spend very different amounts per person in poverty. For example, in fiscal year 2000, California and Wisconsin each devoted about $8 for every $1,000 of their own state resources toward Medicaid. However, under the current formula, Wisconsin receives a relatively high federal matching rate despite its relatively high ability to fund program services, whereas California receives a low federal matching rate despite its relatively low ability to fund program services. With the addition of federal matching aid, Wisconsin is enabled to spend more than twice what California is able to spend per person in poverty ($7,532 versus $3,731). Two factors constrain the formula from further decreasing differences in states' funding ability. First, PCI is not a comprehensive indicator of a state's total available resources and is a poor measure of the size of and cost to serve a state's people in poverty. Second, the statutory provision that guarantees no state will receive less than a 50 percent matching rate benefits many states that already have above-average resources to fund health care for their populations in poverty. For example, 2 of the 11 states that benefit the most from the 50 percent "floor" receive matching rates that are 35 and 20 percentage points higher, respectively, than the rates they would receive based solely on their PCI. GAO received comments on a draft of this report from two external reviewers who have Medicaid formula expertise. They generally agreed with the analysis and provided technical comments, which were incorporated as appropriate.

Or is there something profoundly disturbing about people who take great pride and joy in "making history"? Osama bin Laden made history, after all, as did Yamamoto.
Is one of the stupidest movies ever made:
If Avatar were drawn like a regular cartoon, or had been made on soundstages with sets and the like, would it be interesting? Would it hold our attention? The answer is, unquestionably no. There's no chance anybody would even have put it into production, no matter that Cameron made the box-office bonanza Titanic. So the question is: Does the technical mastery on display in Avatar outweigh the unbelievably banal and idiotic plot, the excruciating dialogue, the utter lack of any quality resembling a sense of humor? And will all these qualities silence the discomfort coming from that significant segment of the American population that, we know from the box-office receipts for Iraq war movies this decade, doesn't like it when an American soldier is the bad guy?
Podhoretz' review is chock full'o'spoilers, but when something is as apparently ridden with PC cliches as this, it's pretty hard to spoil it. Let's hope they can apply the film-making technology to a good movie soon.
[Monday morning update]
Kurt Loder over at MTV has similar thoughts:
Cameron is a great action director. There's a lot to look at here: the luminescent glow of the jungle in which the Na'vi live, the ancient Tree of Souls with which they commune, a spectacular range of mountains hanging high in the sky up above Pandora — and there's a lot going on. The director and his battalion of digital technicians have cooked up a fantastical bestiary of Pandoran creatures — futuristic hammerhead rhinos; dogfighting battle dragons; and, in one virtuoso sequence, a vicious six-legged thingy that chases Jake through the jungle and off the edge of a cliff (see trailer). The meticulous detail in which these creatures have been rendered, and the complexity with which they're arrayed in the film's exotic environments, are undeniable marvels of moviemaking art.
Unfortunately, whenever the action lets up and we're returned to the piddling story, the picture slumps like a failed soufflé. It's also heavily laced with political instruction of a most familiar sort. Cameron, who's now 55, is a self-acknowledged aging hippie, and his boomer worldview is strictly by-the-numbers. Quaritch and Selfridge are evil Americans despoiling the Na'vi's idyllic planet in exactly the same way that the humans have (we're told) trashed their own native orb. The invaders are armed with deplorable corporate technology (an odd animosity in a major-studio movie that reportedly cost more than $300 million to make), and they speak the familiar — and here rather anachronistic — language of contemporary American warmongering. ("We will fight terror with terror!" "It's some kind of shock-and-awe campaign!")
The Na'vi, on the other hand, with their bows and arrows and long braided hair, are stand-ins for every spiritually astute and ecologically conscientious indigenous population ever ground down under the heel of rampaging Western imperialism. They appear to have no warlike impulses themselves, and they live in complete harmony with their environment. (They even talk to trees.) Why, the movie asks, as if the question were new, can't we be more like them?
No one argues that it's not a brilliant technological feat. It's just a shame that it seems to have a cliched, politically infantile story line.
I Love The Sound
…of exploding watermelons in the morning:
Polly Toynbee is blaming the whole fiasco on false consciousness.
…Sometimes we're inclined to dismiss Polly as a loveable comedy figure, what with her lovely house in Tuscany contrasting so amusingly with her prolier-than-thou politics, and the never ending japesomeness of her deft, lighter-than-air prose.
But you know what? When she reveals her true colours, as she does here, I think she's really, really scary. Her whole article teeters on the brink of demanding an eco-fascist world government to save us all from ourselves.
Save us from people wanting to save us from ourselves.
Let It Snow
…let it snow, let it snow.
Joe Lieberman went home to Connecticut for the last day of Chanukkah, and he's snowed in, which means no cloture vote until he gets back. I'm seeing messages from DC Facebook friends that they've had to shovel two feet of global warming off their sidewalks already.
Top Science Stories Of The Decade
Without getting into the issue of whether this year is the end of the decade, Alan Boyle has a list of science stories of the ten years of the double goose egg, of which this is definitely the last. I have a couple nits, though.
First, SpaceShipOne and the X-Prize had nothing to do with science really — they were engineering achievements. Spaceflight is not synonymous with science, and the notion that it is is one of the things that holds us back from doing more of it, and more cost effectively.
And if the 2007 Nobel prize to which he is referring was Al Gore's, it had nothing to do with science either, unless it was bogus science, as his "documentary" was (for which the Oscar should also be revoked). It was a Peace Prize, not a science prize.
Lit Crit
…of Al Gore's poetry:
I have read worse poems than "One Thin September," but not all that many. It is a dull, anaphoric litany riddled with malapropisms and marred by an unabashed tendency to pure bathos — no different from his prose. Close assessment of the piece might offer a corrective to those who continue to venerate its author.
…In sum, "One Thin September" is a dreadful piece of unmitigated fustian in every possible respect — tonal, structural, lexical, semantic, metaphorical — and should never have seen the light of print. If anyone ever needed fresh evidence for Al Gore's want of discernment and unstinting self-infatuation, this is it. Those who don't have the time to wade through 400 pages of largely tendentious argument and special pleading may content themselves by reading the poem. It tells them all they need to know. And the irony is unmistakable. For no matter how reluctantly, we owe him a debt of gratitude for this unintended exhibition.
One of my tests of someone's political judgement is whether or not they any longer take Al Gore seriously.
Apollo Nostalgia
It's finally time, long past time, really, to abandon it, if we want to make any serious progress in space. This was a major theme of my piece in The New Atlantis last summer.
The Geopolitical Problems
…of asteroid avoidance.
This, much more than the technology, is something that we have to think about very hard — how to deal with the international legal liability.
The Force Of The Gore Effect Is Strong In This One
Kyopenhagen abounded in irony, as all of these circuses do, but I found it quite delicious that Obama (and Pelosi, and many other DC denizens) had to rush home from a global warming conference to avoid getting shut out by an approaching blizzard* in the nation's capital.
I would also note that, while I'm agnostic, I like the old phrase, "Men make plans, and God laughs." This may put a dagger through the black heart of the health-care disaster, or at least its being passed by Christmas, which means that it may be dead for good (or at least this session, which will buy a lot of time after next year's elections). But I won't consider it over until it's over.
* Yes, I do know the difference between climate and weather. When it's warm, it's climate; when it's cold, it's weather. Thanks for asking.
Thoughts On Corporatism
From Ross Douthat, and Jonah Goldberg, which is on full display in the health-care debacle, with the weird and awkward bear hug between Washington and the insurance companies:
If you want to know why business takes such an interest in Washington, the answer can be found in your low-flow toilet, in the warning labels adorning your cars, in your 8 zillion page tax returns. It can be found while you wait on hold trying to get a human to answer your questions about your health insurance. And the answer is most certainly somewhere in your box of cereal, made with grains subsidized by Uncle Sam and coated in sugar that has no business being grown in the United States of America. Corporations meddle in Washington because Washington meddles with them.
It is simply naive to believe that a businessman will have no interest in politics when politicians have taken a great interest in him. And it is grotesquely unfair to assume that businesspeople are corrupt simply because they want to support politicians less inclined to hurt them.
Yes, Bill Gates learned that lesson the hard way.

I almost didn't buy this - because I didn't think I'd use it enough to justify the purchase. But, I took the wife to HF and she wanted it - and who am I to argue about a tool purchase.I've had this for over 3 years and have used it to clean up the garage, clean the track on our patio doors, clean up after a flooring install, and clean out our cars after a trip to the beach - along with countless other jobs.I'm not sure what some of the other reviewers are looking for in the way of parts. HF sells bags.. and a lot of the parts are generic, and I've traded attachments between this and another vacuum I have.

Great Vacuum, Powerful Suction
By JaredSK74
from Williamsport, PA
I bought this vacuum to use primarily as a dust collector for my table saw. It works well as a dust collector, but I have used it quite a bit as a shop vac and it performs very well. It's performance is equivalent to $100+ shop vac for this size. It works well and I highly recommend people in need of a wet dry vac try this out before going for brand names. Harbor Freight has a good return policy; if everyone's vacuum performed as well as mine does, then I doubt anyone would buy brand name ever again.

Delighted Dad Chopra Targeting 20 for the Season
Thursday, 16th Feb 2012 09:23
Striker Michael Chopra has revealed that he's targeting 20 goals in his first season with the Blues and dedicated Tuesday's winner at Portsmouth to his son Sebastian, who celebrated his fourth birthday yesterday. The goal at Fratton Park took the 28-year-old's total to 11, despite a year which has seen him spend time in rehab dealing with his gambling problems and spells out of the side.
Tweeting after Tuesday's 1-0 victory at Pompey, Chopra said: "Another great win tonight. Thanks to Ipswich fans travelling all that way, great support, Another goal tonight, 11 this season only nine more to go for my target.
"My little boy asked me to score for him for his birthday [on Wednesday] and I can't wait to tell him I did and see his smile on his face on his fourth birthday."
Only five players have scored more goals that Chopra in the Championship this season – Southampton's Rickie Lambert (16), Ross McCormack of Leeds (15), Burnley's Jay Rodriguez, Leicester's David Nugent and Darius Henderson of Millwall (all 12).
The Blues frontman, who signed for £1 million from Cardiff in the summer, is currently level in sixth with Leeds winger Robert Snodgrass and former Town target Billy Sharp, who joined Southampton from Doncaster last month.
Chopra's recent run of four goals in three games hasn't gone unnoticed at his former club, who visit Portman Road on Saturday.
Stand-in skipper Peter Whittingham knows his one-time team-mate will be looking to add to the goal he scored against the Bluebirds in the 2-2 draw in Wales earlier in the season to continue his current streak: "Let's hope Chops isn't able to hurt us too. He's a natural goalscorer and he thrives on putting the ball into the net.
"If he scores he is high on confidence and flying. Chops scored the only goal against Portsmouth in midweek – and next he wants to put one over us on Saturday. It's up to us to make sure he doesn't."

Video: Arrest of pregnant NY woman under investigation
The police chief says officers showed "tremendous restraint" while subduing a teenage boy and his sister
Associated Press
ROCHESTER, N.Y. — An officer struggling to subdue a woman at the scene of a family dispute acted properly when he hit her in the head and wrestled her to the ground, despite her repeatedly telling officers she was pregnant, the police chief said.
The chaotic Tuesday evening arrest of 21-year-old Brenda Hardaway and her 16-year-old brother was videotaped and posted on YouTube. WHAM-TV identified the person who took the video as the son of Hardaway's neighbor.
The first 45 seconds of the five-minute video show Officer Lucas Krull pinning Hardaway face-down on the hood of a car while trying to cuff her hands behind her back. She resists, repeatedly telling him and other officers that she's pregnant. Krull then punches Hardaway in the back of the head and tosses her to the ground before other officers help him cuff her and others take her brother into custody.
Rochester Police Chief James Sheppard told local media outlets that the officers showed "tremendous restraint" while subduing the teen and Hardaway, whose family said she's six months pregnant. Krull used a distraction technique that officers are taught to employ to disorient someone who's resisting arrest, Sheppard said.
"While the video may cause concern relative to the officer's tactics, I stress that it is important that the incident be viewed in its totality and to withhold judgment until all the facts are known, including those parts of the event that are not shown on the video," he said.
Sheppard said Hardaway had pointed pepper spray at officers checking out a report of a fight involving several family members. That part of the encounter wasn't shown on the video, he said.
Hardaway was taken to Rochester General Hospital, where she was treated and released. Krull was treated for injuries to his nose and elbow.
Hardaway pleaded not guilty Wednesday to charges that included assault and resisting arrest. She was being held Thursday in Monroe County Jail on $7,500 bail. A message was left for her public defender.
Her brother was released after being charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
Sheppard said the officers' actions during the arrest were being reviewed, as are all uses of force by city police officers. The review will determine whether the officers complied with the department's training and policy, the chief said.

Sunday Funnies: What ARE they going to do at this year's Winter Meetings?
While not alot of the activity involved our favorite team, I'm dizzy from all the signings and trades that have already happened this winter.
So, just wondering what all the general managers could possibly talk about at the Winter Meetings in Orlando tomorrow...
(Usually, I can give credit for an illustration's idea to someone's comment here, and while that's what happened I couldn't find it. So anyway, whoever did make that comment wondering if the gms would have anything to talk about...thanks!)
I LOL'd and I thank you for

per a completely untrustworthy twitter souce..A's/Cubs have a meeting set-up for tonight
Some talk of Brett Anderson and A's have had prior interest in Schierholtz and Barney...
normally I don't bother with those, but it actually makes some sense, other pieces would certainly be involved, but sounds like a good starting point for talks.
b.anderson for a bench OF
b.anderson for a bench OF (cespedes/crisp/reddick/c.gentry already in the OF) and a possible e.sogard replacement that's not a sure-thing would be interesting.

to be clear, A's at some point in the past may have asked about Schierholtz and Barney, doesn't mean they are asking now
I think Gentry possibly filled any OF depth issues, Barney may have some use to them and Anderson is certainly someone they'd deal to get out of his contract (they are the A's afterall), but no one knows exactly what they're looking for now. But they always have an eye on this season and the following seasons, so I'm sure there's some options out there.
they could probably use starting pitch depth, maybe a swingman like Villanueva or maybe a player that has more option years left than Anderson. Maybe they don't match up at all...

the guy can field 2nd adequately (as well as 3rd) and he's got 20HR power. consistent quality contact is his only knock.
I had a thought on Tanaka vis
I had a thought on Tanaka vis a vis FA spending. Theo appears willing to spend 'FA' money on players like Rizzo, Castro and 25-yr old T-O-R SP like Tanaka. My guess would be to see similar money spent on Baez, Almora, & Bryant as they enter their arbitration years. Until the Cubs are coming off an 88-90 win season, we won't see Ellsbury/Granderson contracts thrown out let alone Cano deals (which was just assinine).
The Cubs are nearing a
The Cubs are nearing a tipping point with Samardzija, who remains under club control for two more seasons at a time when the franchise is ramping up for 2016 and beyond. Samardzija's camp confirmed nothing has really changed since last winter, when talks about a long-term extension gained no momentum.
After years of shifting between the bullpen and the rotation and commuting from Triple-A Iowa to Chicago, Samardzija simply wants to let this play out and establish himself as a No. 1 starter before signing a new deal....
The two sides have different definitions of market value. The skyrocketing price of pitching could force a Samardzija trade.

Brown for Schierholtz
Brown for Schierholtz/Samardzija would make some sense as a starting point, obviously Phillies would need to add some prospects of which they have few, not sure if they'd deal Jesse Biddle.
Brown's not due for free agency until after 2017 season.
Can the Phillies Match Up
Can the Phillies Match Up with the Cubs on Samardzija?
Biddle + Brown for Samardzija
Biddle + Brown for Samardzija would be a helluva deal for Cubs imo, also probably a pipedream.
some folks seem to be freaking about Brown fading in the second half, but at age 25, no reason to freak out too much. #4 prospect in baseball heading into 2011, the path isn't always linear. BB rate over 10% in the minors, just under 9% in minors and with Bryant and Soler, he'd probably eventually move to left field.
Still a lot of potential in there, major league ready and 4 years of service time and Cubs could use some left-handed power.

way to kill my buzz...although as I said, think you'd have to throw in Biddle to make the deal and not sure he's available.
that being said, a pretty consistent 18.4% career K rate isn't indicitive of a huge hole in his swing and seems like he's played long enough that they'd figure it out by now.

d.brown's swing can get sloppy and long...he loves going for outside stuff, especially high.
he couldn't make up his mind whether he was a pull hitter or a reacher in a kinda erratic fashion last season. when he hit a lot of homers up and in the outer part of the zone last may, he spent a few months going back/forth biting at stuff outside the zone trying to replicate may.
his K rate doesn't mean much...quality of contact is in play.

FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports that the Indians are listening to trade offers for Justin Masterson.
The Indians are aiming to contend in 2014 and Masterson is their ace, but Rosenthal says the thinking in dealing him would be to explore "longer-term options." Masterson is entering his walk year, and the Tribe must not feel good about their chances of locking him up to a long-term extension. Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reported earlier this offseason that Masterson was looking for an extension in the five-year, $75 million range.

bats should be big this offseason. next year's FA market is pitching-heavy (pending extensions) and very bats-bare (and should get worse with extensions in the coming season). the OF market is really bare.
hanley ramirez, chase headley, and pablo sandavol are the batting "stars" of the 2015 FA market who aren't going to be 35+ years old...and it's expected that h.ramirez will be off the table pretty soon...and the 35+ year old crowd doesn't contain anyone to be too excited about.

d.barney is "a solid baseball player" who's "capable of turning it around"..."he needs to know we believe in him."

"two unidentified NL teams" in on Kemp trade talks.
Prediction: Mets are one, obviously. I just can't imagine who the other one is if not the Cubs. The only other team that makes sense from need and financials is San Francisco, but I simply do not think that can happen.
i can't imagine the cubs
i can't imagine the cubs would be in on it...unless for some reason the LAD want ninja...which makes as little sense as all the other SP they've been rumored to be looking at because they have a full house of pitching already (kershaw, greinke, ryu, beckett, haren).
vogelbomb will probably be a trade chip for the cubs eventually and would be attractive to almost any team out there who doesn't have a long-term 1st/DH solution. he will probably come in handy one day in a trade, if not this offseason. the cubs can also play fast/loose with some of their 3rd base prospects since they're flush with them, though bryant is almost assuredly going no where out of that group.
kemp's interesting...can play all 3 OF positions so he's got flexibility. he's had an injured shoulder nagging him for years, but it's his non-throwing arm. he's got a good enough arm to play RF should a situation dictate him playing there rather than CF (aka, almora).
that said...i dunno if the cubs have what it takes to get it done...or what the dodgers would even want. it's hard to guage what kemp's worth, especially without knowing how much (if any) money the LAD is willing to chip in to lower his contract value and get something done.
"CBS Sports' Jon Heyman
"CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports that the Cubs' brass will have a meeting with Jeff Samardzija's agents on Wednesday.
Heyman says an offer "isn't necessarily expected," and an extension is "unlikely anyway.""

One source tells me Samardzija will get moved soon. Another says nothing doing. Cubs official, "Yeah, both those sound about right."
Recent comments
BRADSBEARD: I haven't noticed any new rule or a change in the interpretation of an existing rule happening in Advanced Instructs, I don't know what rules will be tested in the AFL, although almost all recent rule changes and new interpretations of existing rules (the home plate collision rule, replay, time clock between innings, et al) do get their start in the AFL.
AZ Phil: I've heard that the AFL will be testing out a new force out rule that would affect break-up plays (like the Utley play). Have you heard anything about this new rule and any details about it? Are they testing it out at the advanced instructs as well?
Pretty sure I already know the answer to this, but since I will be in NYC next week I want to confirm... If the Cubs were to advance to the NLCS, the winner of LAD/NYM would have home field based on being a division winner (as opposed to Cubs by virtue of better record), correct?
CUBSTER: This "hammy" is on the other leg I heard last night. See you at the ballyard today young man!
Oh what do you know, Cubster? Go back to your day job.
--- Ducks, puts on Cardinals cap, runs.
Russell had a severe hamstring last year while with the A's system, forcing him to miss the first half of 2014. I've even wondered if his injury last year was a component of Billy Beane putting him on the trade market. He was quoted saying that last year's injury was a 10 out of 10 when it happened. Last night he said his hamstring soreness was a 1/1.5 out of 10. Hamstring injuries are tricky though, so I'd expect the medical team to be overly cautious here.
...I want to reinforce the observation that there was no sea of red in the crowd. The usual Cardinal fans roaming the stadium were few and far between.
Also, almost every 2 strike pitch brought the fans to their feet. Good for those in knee rehab.
"1st team hit hit 6HR in a game in the postseason." rises above obvious...i checked it with the official fact-finding commission of Douche, Douche, and Douchestein. they agreed with you, but they're a bunch of f'n douches so who cares?
btw, the cubs are 2-1 in the post-season series.
I should be able to watch the game on the NFL replay app, whatever that thing is called. I've got it on my iPad. This is the first year I haven't forced myself to somehow watch every game - no I take that back, last year was - in quite some time. Last year was so unbearable, no pun intended.
You make some good points about Cutler, and I was a holdout defender of Cutler for a long time. I gave up on him a bit after one too many dumb interceptions, but last year doesn't count. Trestman was the worst coach in Bears history.
Nice little reportage there!. I think you're older than me. Considerably older. Maybe several generations. Working out is so essential, especially as age kicks in, isn't it? I still lift weights, and so I'm confident that when I get to be at the hip breaking age, mine won't be a statistic. But I have a ways to go for that to be a concern.
What was impressive to me is that the Cubs won despite poor base running, several defensive miscues, Russell leaving due to injury, Arrieta having an off game and getting knocked out early, and Rondon giving up 2 runs in the 9th. If they can win a game like that...
I was there too. The crowd was absolutely electric. People were standing for every big and semi-big moment, from the first inning on. It felt incredibly strange and exhilarating to see the Cubs (the Chicago bleepin' Cubs!) score playoff insurance runs on the Cardinals. What a game. One to remember.
14 in attendance. What's the record for attendance in the fall? I guess I should ask what the record attendance listed is in one of your recaps.
I was there too, with my grown son. This is my miracle year-- I rose to the top of the season ticket list after eight years, completely unexpectedly, and my wonderful wife agreed to put the ticket fee on the emergency credit card. The whole point of course was that the Cubs were going to be good this year, and then for a while, so to get season tickets with the guaranteed shot at the postseason was incredible timing. We got to the remote lot at 4:10 after stopping at Nhu Lan for our usual banh mi sandwiches, only to find the lot full, way earlier than normal.

Did anyone get the Pippi Longstocking release?

And how does it look? I know it doesn't have the original Swedish soundtrack, but I'm debating the "movie" version boxset. Any comments are welcome.

I was wondering how this was too, some amazon.com reviews say it's a decent transfer. One said it will knock your socks off, but I seriously doubt that for a film it's age. Then again I have been wrong before.

Posted October 18 2005 - 06:36 PM
I have never seen a good transfer of any of the Pippi films, even when originally released in the U.S. And of course, we all know how notoriously bad they were dubbed. They should re-dub them and have Dakota Fanning play Pippi. HAHHA just kidding!

Yes, but this was part of the charm as a kid. I am expecting a copy for review, so I'll post the link when it is ready.

I know it was badly dubbed... In fact, I recall a "Pippi" sketch on "SCTV" years ago in which they made savage fun of that fact. In a perfect world, that sketch would be included on the Pippi dvd I'm looking forward to it anyway. Havne't seen these films all the way through since the early 80s.

I'd rather see them in original Swedish language with subtitles. Actually, that's how I have seen all of them, never seen a dubbed version.

The review will be posted shortly, but I will say that these versions look pretty good. It would be interesting to see these with the original soundtrack though.

Is this the version that was mocked in THE GILMORE GIRLS last season? There was an episode where Lorelei, Rory, and Luke go to the library for film night. The only movie they had was PIPPI. And, they had seen it so many times they do a running commentary on it, singing along with the theme, etc. Funny episode, probably funnier if you knew PIPPI (I didn't).

No, that looks like it's the complete TV series! The one we are talking about contains the 4 movies derived from the TV series, as released in North America. I don't think the TV series ever came across in its entirety. Does that French version have a Swedish track/English subtitles?

Deadly Premonitio
n coming to PS3!! (again)
For everyone that doesn't know Deadly Premonition is a quirky cult-hit survival horror game from Japan that was released only on the xbox 360 in the U.S. (although in Japan there's a ps3 and xbox version). But now a new "enhanced" version is making it's way stateside.
This is good news for fans of David Lynch and especially for fans of the show Twin Peaks. Deadly Premonition is kind of like the weird love-child of Alan Wake and Silent Hill and just flat out drips Twin Peaks. It's possibly one of the strangest, but most charming games I've played this console generation and it's coming back!! So excited. ^_^
Re: Deadly Premonitio

n coming to PS3!! (again)
If I had a nickel for every time someone recommended this video game to me...
I decided to order a copy of Deadly Premonition a little while ago (I honestly cannot wait to play it)…

Anyone knows if this is still a thing?
Re: Deadly Premonitio
n coming to PS3!! (again)
interesting, i've never heard of the game, and i've been aching for some new survival horror lately. sounds like i'll have to pay attention to this one.
Re: Deadly Premonitio
[ Edited ]
n coming to PS3!! (again)
Don't mean to bump an old thread, but I figured it was better than creating a new one...
So "Deadly Premonition: The Director's Cut" was supposed to come out today.
I pre-ordered it, went to my local GameStop this afternoon -- shipment was delayed (WTH!?)
The employee told me it "should" be there tomorrow.
After browsing some other game forums, I discovered others were reporting the same thing from their GameStops and/or Online Retailers. Did anyone here actually get their copy today?
I kind of just want confirmation that the game is in-fact out, and isn't getting pushed back. (the disc release; I see the digital release is available on PSN now.)
They recieved my pre-order the next day. The GameStop employee said "small" releases like this, they don't always get the game in on time.
"You must make a friend of horror. Horror and moral terror are your friends. If they are not then they are enemies to be feared."

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, I do not make any money from writing these stories and I have no rights to Harry Potter.
Eternal Night
The blue moon rose high and full that evening, the evening that his life had changed forever, the evening where he found the meaning of true love and devotion. He couldn't say it was completely unexpected, after all if anything weird was ever going to happen it was going to be to him. He was the master of the weird and strange even in the wizarding world.
He remembered the day continuing as normal, classes, Snape, classes, detention, Malfoy, classes and so on but that night he had awoken from his bed heated and restless. His shoulder length hair sticking to his face and neck as he fell out of his bed and stumbled down the staircase and out the portrait. Something was calling him; something was in pain, a lot of pain. He couldn't bear its screams of pain and anguish. Where was the voice, that sweet voice that serenaded him with its sadness?
So caught up in the voice he never noticed the trail of black glossy feathers behind him nor the blood that dripped to the floor with each step. He just had to find the voice, the screaming angel that called to him in the darkness of the night. He came to the doors of theHospital Wing and he laid his hands upon the dark grained wood. Behind here was the one he was searching for. Throwing open the doors he didn't care as they slammed and splintered against the stone walls.
His eyes glowed a fiery green as he saw his angel wreathing in pain on the small hospital-wing bed. Surrounding him was Dumbledore, Snape and Pomphrey none of them had heard the door slam against the wall and he smirked, silence wards. He let out a gentle coo at the silver and blonde creature in the bed and smiled as the others thrashing settled some, though the screams still tore from the raw throat. Walking past the Professors he ignored their warnings as he stepped up to the bed to finally look fully upon the screaming angel.
Silvery blonde hair fell about his shoulders and his chest was red and blistered from what appeared to have been a deadly boiling hex. Liquid mercury eyes looked up at him and a bleeding look entered them, the look of a boy who just wanted to die to escape the pain. He knew the feeling all too well. Carefully he slid into the bed next to the tortured blonde and whispered a gentle affectionate coo into his ear as he positioned a softly glowing hand over the wound. He could feel the dark twisted magic seeping from the wound, keeping it from healing.
With a snarl and pull of magic he forced the dark entity to vacate the wound leaving the blonde's own magic to heal the festering puss filled wounds on its own. A smile spread across his lips as the anguished screams finally left the still night air. The skin healed and repaired itself within only a few minutes and mercury eyes returned to their normal steel blue state. The two sets of eyes met and a connection was formed, one of understanding and pure raw magic.
Pale cracked lips split open to whisper, "Please don't leave me."
He smiled down at his blonde angel and shook his head, "Never again."
The End.

Professor Holly Hearon examines Scriptura Continua
Holly Hearon (T.J. and Virginia Liggett Professor of Christian Traditions) recently participated in an international conference at Yale University, "Double stories – Double lives: Reflecting on Textual Objects in the Pre-Print World." The conference explored the complex relationship between the textual and material nature of artifacts such as manuscripts, amulets, ornamental objects, and monuments.
Presenting a paper, titled "Manuscript and Melody: Written Texts Experienced in Sound and Rhythm," Hearon examined early manuscripts of the Gospel of Matthew written in a style that is unfamiliar to most modern readers. "When we look at an early manuscript of the Gospel of Matthew, we expect to see words on a page, and we do—except that to the untrained eye, the words all but disappear in the stream of letters written in scriptura continua – a continuous line with no punctuation or even separation of words," says Hearon.
This physical presentation is a reminder that reading a manuscript is a complex exercise which involves more than simply the translation of signs into words. 'Reading' also requires that we recognize and correctly translate the multiple functions that are served by the signs," she says.
Hearon further explains, "When we look at an early manuscript of the Gospel of Matthew written in scriptura continua, this unbroken line of letters presents us first of all not with words, but with a continuous string of sounds that are marked out in rhythmic patterns measured by vowels, long and short."
Being the lone biblical scholar among archaeologists, Egyptologists, art historians, philologists and classicists at the conference was a rewarding experience for Hearon. "I enjoy attending conferences where I am on unfamiliar ground," she says. "I learn a great deal from people who are using methods similar to those I employ, but to study vastly different material in different contexts. It helps me to ask new questions about my own field of study. For example, this conference raised questions such as 'what is the distinction between correction and censorship in early manuscripts?' That is a very provocative question when dealing with religious manuscripts!"

After a fast start, John Wall slowed down by midseason as he persevered through soreness in his right knee and two bad ankles.
Things to know - some tactical, some adorable - following Golden State's 104-90 victory over the Houston Rockets in Game 5 of the Western Conference finals.
Half of the NBA Finals is set. LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers finished off their non-competitive four-game sweep of the Atlanta Hawks with a 118-88 thumping Tuesday night.
It's OK to admit the NBA conference finals haven't exactly been riveting. But any basketball trumps none at all.
Hardly any words will be said by John Wall or Kyrie Irving -- in the media, about or to each other -- but they know what Thursday's All-NBA selections mean in the big picture.

Kenji is graduating with his ELS 112 Certificate. He plans to return home to Japan for a few months before starting at the New York Film School in Los Angeles to study acting. He has studied with ELS San Francisco-North Bay for one year.
ELS: Why did you choose San Francisco-North Bay as the center for your studies?
Kenji: I chose this center because it had very similar climate, it was very comfortable, and the reputation for the most difficult.
ELS: What was a favorite memory of yours while studying here?
Kenji: I love Special Coffee Day. This was my most favorite event. I can talk with many students and teachers. The donuts are delicious. It happens once a session, but I wish it happened every week.
ELS: Did you meet any American friends while you were here?
Kenji: Yes! Last summer I went to Novato and we played billiards many times.
ELS: Do you have any recommendations for any future students, who plan to study at ELS San Francisco-North Bay?
Kenji: Speak only English because I think it's not only about passing your class to learn English, especially if you want to go to university. Students should find as many opportunities to practice speaking English.
ELS: What is one thing you learned about American culture that you did not know before studying here?
Kenji: Halloween. I only knew about the concept of it, but I didn't know why it was celebrated or about the history of it. I misunderstood that it wasn't just for kids. Adults and college students dress up and participate too!
