A Real Stocking Stuffer!
For your consideration...
STUBS: A Father's Tickets to the Greatest Shows on Earth [Outskirts Press] will be formally released on Friday, December 3 at Beaverdale Books here in Des Moines. The book is already showing as "in-stock" online at both Amazon and B&N. The cover synopsis and author bio are below. I've also included a link to the preliminary Amazon listing. I think if you order more than one copy you'll trigger the magic words: FREE SHIPPING!
A boxful of old ticket stubs is the framework for this account of a father's evolution. While his children grow his horizons expand, changing the way he sees the world. STUBS makes a case for holstering the camcorder, and the dot-to-dot of episodes intertwines with reflections on parenthood from the perspective of a man reborn by the births of his children. The venues range from Raccoon Valley Little League to Carnegie Hall; the occasions from Opening Day at Wrigley Field to Mozart's 250th birthday party in Salzburg. The result is an album filled with illustrations of how much kids have to teach.
Michael Wellman is the author of Far From the Trees: The Troubled Sons of an American Neighborhood [Outskirts Press], a finalist in the 2009 Indie Book Awards. He is a regular contributor to the Des Moines Register whose work has also appeared in The Iowan and on Iowa Public Radio. During the summer he blogs for The Cub Reporter. He was born, raised and lives it up in Des Moines, Iowa, a place he can't seem to get enough of. Contact him at [email protected].
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
Congrats Mike! Just resize the image to under Amazon's 4mb size limit and try uploading it again. If you don't know how to do that, email it to me and I'll do it for you. I sent you an email.
It's also free shipping if you have Amazon Prime.
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
I uploaded the picture to Amazon, it should show up now for everyone. Mike, I had no idea you were 12 feet tall! :)
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
Congrats again Mike, can't wait to read it after thoroughly enjoying FFTT. I uploaded to cover pic but then realized your text is now a bit out of synch.
From one stub collector to another...I love the book concept.
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
the odd thing is that on Amazon you can buy the book new for $14.95; but someone, (two people? Tom Ricketts and Crane Kenney?) is/are selling it used for $23.16 and $23.63...Seems that the Cubs ticket brokerage has gotten ahold of your Stubs and is scalping the pre-market!
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
Speaking of stocking stuffers, I also ordered a copy of Keith Richards autobiography, Life, along with Stubs...isn't he the half-brother of Astro's great pitcher J.R.? (just like the half brothers Tiger and Kerry)
Which book should I read first? Talk about a tough act to follow.
quote from Time magazine review: "The Evel Knievel of illicit substances, Richards wears his 66 years with a jaunty gauntness."
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
Thanks for the heads up on my favorite Glimmer Twin's bio. Lots of good links to visit from that article also -- Keith Richards photos, photos of the Stones' 1969 Tour, a book on their '69 Tour (with lots of additional photos), a list of Time's 100 Greatest Albums and list of Top 10 music festival moments. I got significantly sidetracked by all of that stuff for awhile.
Gotta love the Internet.
Tulo got payed
10 years/157.75M, essentially a 6/119M extension.
Rox also signs De La Rosa for 3/33, same as Lilly money.
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
They still had him under contract for 4 more years? Not sure what the rush to overpay that guy was?
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
obviously they feel like he's a franchise player, which he is.
Puts him under contract until 36 and he can move to 3b pretty easily if his fielding slips.
$15M average for Tulo, adjusting for inflation is probably gonna work out for them just fine over the long haul.
He's been worth $25M each of the last 2 years by Fangraphs goofy money ratings(and $22M his rookie year).
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
They are paying him 20 Million per year on this extension though. The cheap part of it is the 4 years already remaining on his existing contract.
I'm not saying he isn't worthy of being locked up. I just question the need to do it when he already has 4 years remaining on his current deal? It wasn't like they got a discount in doing so? I would have let it play out until maybe ST of his final contract year. Then you have a better idea of what kind of health shape he will be in.
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
Edit* that was stupid.
I guess I can agree, where was the rush if he was already under contract? Just another GM baring all of the risk for a very slim chance at reward. I wonder if he's got some player opt outs in there too.
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
It wasn't like they got a discount in doing so? I would have let it play out until maybe ST of his final contract year.
and then his agent and him smell free agency and decide they'll test the market or at least you risk that happening.
They like the guy and by all accounts he's one of those team leader types that works his ass off and is well on his way to to a HOF career(if he stays healthy, etc). It's obviously the guy they want to center their franchise around like the Yanks did with Jeter.
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
So maybe the summer before his FA year, but why now?
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
Well..it's certainly a calculated risk to extend him now...but he is a very good SS, at the plate, and in the field...In the top 5 in baseball, no? 10 years is silly long for a sports contract...6 I would get....but 10?
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
probably to be the face of the franchise now that helton's finished up being noteworthy.
hell of a risk, though.
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
Well didn't Helton's contract work out ok? Oh....not....lol.
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
they really, really like the guy?
I'm sure the Rox and O'Dowd will let us know the motivation soon enough.
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
Signing anyone to an extension when they have 4 more years under contract is stupid. Doing it when he also appears to be injury prone should be illegal.
Moyer isn't done
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
Looks like we found our opening day starter for 2012.
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
That's crazy talk. At best he's #3.
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
Agreed. Mark Prior's perfect mechanics will push him back to #3.
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
I thought you were reporting that Tulo got hurt already. Disaster in waiting.
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
We have Brian LaHair at the top of our 1st base depth chart. There are whispers of Dumpster diving to fill our massive offseason roster holes.
Sometimes I wish my dad was a Cardinals fan (dies a little inside)
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
Colvin's probably at the top of 1b chart at the moment, but there's 6 guys out there that can be had and probably some trade options as well.
Pena, Berkman, LaRoche, Dunn, Konerko, Lee
They have to pay Marmol anyway, I assume they're attempting to buy out a free agency year for a slight discount. Anyway, allegedly the article said they just talked briefly about it with no offers made. I assume that'll intensify once arbitration cases need to be settled.
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
Pulled this from Bruce Levine's chat. Bruce is responding to a Sox question. (1:19)
"The White Sox want Dunn and have been trying to make that happen. However Dunn is telling people close to him that he'd like to play left field."
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
Jeez. Dunn also wants to wear a pink tutu and sit on Santa's lap, but that's not going to happen either.
The more I hear of his demands the more I realize he's an idiot.
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
other noteworthy items from Levine...
- lots of Carlos Pena mentions
- calls them a $135M small market team this offseason looking for bargains
- looking at injured starting pitchers (aka cheap), Webb, Harang, etc.
- doesn't think Greinke's would fit Cubs plans, meaning they don't seem keen on moving top prospects in any deal.
- would eat up to half of Fuku's contract, but only if deal makes sense, not aggressively trying to move him.
- Colvin will work at 1b in spring, more for late-inning options or fill-in then as a regular
- Cubs asked about Loney but currently not available
- Ricketts suggested they'll continue to be in top 3-4 payroll in NL for the foreseeable future.
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
Well with the way the Dodgers have been spending money to fill up their roster, I can certainly see why Loney's not available.... not that I think Loney should be on an MLB roster.
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
oh my god what a shock!#!@#!@#!
seriously, there's a flush-as-hell 1st market. there's no hurry.
RP, 1st, and probably SP...in no particular order...known for quite a while.
the last thing going away in the FA or trade market is 1st basemen. it's not a good year to be a 1st FA.
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
Agreed, some of those FA 1b will end up taking whatever they can get, there just aren't that many jobs open, and since we are supposedly broke and going nowhere, waiting for a blue light special is a good thing for a change.

We have Brian LaHair at the top of our 1st base depth chart. There are whispers of Dumpster diving to fill our massive offseason roster holes.
DR AARON B: Tyler Colvin and Geovany Soto are at the top of the Cubs 1B depth chart.
One thing to keep in mind about 1B is that Soto might have to play 1B next season if his shoulder surgery rehab is still in progress, and even if he's 100% healthy and able to catch from the gitgo, Soto is not going to catch more than 120 games (max), and if he is the Cubs best hitter, would you rather have him sit on the bench for those 40 games he's not catching, or be in the lineup playing another position (1B) on days he's not catching?
And if 1B needs to be kept available for Soto (at least part-time), having a player who can play 1B and then move to the OF on days Soto plays 1B would be ideal. In-house that 1B-OF would be Tyler Colvin. Luke Scott would be a good candidate if the Cubs look to make a trade for one.
If Soto reverts to the 2009 version, then he can certainly sit on days he's not catching,. But if the Real Soto is the one we saw in 2008 and 2010, then I don't want him sitting on the bench for 40 games. And 1B is the only other position he can play.
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
I enjoy watching him pitch, but a 4 year extension is going to lead to uncounted strokes and heart attacks among the Cubs faithful.
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
Miles says Cubs will be "cautious" about any extension citing his "violent delivery".
Pitching coach should be named by next week.
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
Why sign a guy to a multi-year contract when you don't have to?
The best thing about players who aren't yet eligible for free-agency is that you can sign them year-to-year. And then if the player suffers a career-ending or career-limiting injury, you're not on the hook beyond just the one year.
A player (especially a pitcher, even a really good one) can have his career suddenly and irrevocably derailed by injury. And that doesn't even include the ones who just go south for no apparent reason.
I wouldn't approach Marmol about a long-term deal until he gets to his last year of arbitration (the 2012 season), and even then I wouldn't offer more than three years.
The best example of a GM going nuts and jumping the gun with contract extentions was ex-AZ GM Josh Byrnes, who gave Chris Young, Chris Snyder, Justin Upton, and Mark Reynolds long-term deals before they were anywhere close to free-agency. Reynolds, Upton, and Young got their deals before they were even eligible for salary arbitration!
A GM doesn't have to "lock these guys up." They are under club control for six freakin' years before they can be a free-agent.
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
Why sign a guy to a multi-year contract when you don't have to?
cost certainty? save a few bucks?
Reynolds and Young seemed like silly deals. Tulo's has already paid for itself as has Longoria's. Padres saved a ton on Gonzalez I assume and there are tons of examples on both sides of it working and not working.
Ryan Howard and Lincecum have pretty much scared the shit out of teams.
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
Totally agree Phil.
I'd be fine with year to year and even getting Type A arbitration comp for Marmol when the time comes. Surely this top shelf ML system can find a relief pitcher somewhere in the next few years?
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
K-Rod got $7M and $10M his last 2 years with the Angels after 3.75M his first arb year but he was a closer sooner than Marmol.
If Cubs get him around $7M a year for 3 years, it's probably a wise move.
Last I checked teams go more than 1-deep in the bullpen.
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
I'm obviously talking about finding a replacement close.
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
Jeter in a Cubs uni
curious to see why all these relievers are declining arbitration, haven't they learned?
why would anyone sign Scott Downs and give up a draft pick?
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
I just hope that Hendry correctly waits out the market on any bullpen moves he makes.
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
but hurry the fuck up on 1b, damnit!!!!
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
Take as much time as needed to get the right guy.
Just make sure that guy is Dunn, or Berkman as plan B I guess?
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
notice a lack of adam dunn news regarding the cubs or anyone looking a 1st baseman yet?
just simply wanting something doesn't make it any team's priority.
there's a young SS with a wild arm, dunn not liking 1st and showing it by being stiff and clumbsy with no range (he's not fast enough to see plays unfold off the bat and that is his main range issue, imo), and there's a huge ass 1st FA market with 20-30HR power...it's not like it's dunn or nothing though on bat alone he's obviously the best option.
it doesn't seem like anyone's in a hurry to fill the excessive 1st slots (or pick up a DH/1st for the AL).
speaking of a lack of news...wonder who will give dlee 6-8m bucks...he's been almost non-existent in the 1st FA talk all over MLB
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
Theriot to Cards for Blake Hawksworth...
B. Ryan/Theriot middle infield?
or Theriot/Schumaker middle infield?
possibilities are endless
suggests Cards want Theriot for SS.
Passan says Dunn's agent asking for 4/60 and "executives" believe Berkman will go for $7M.
if Dunn has finally accepted life as a DH, some AL team should pay that happily for him.
Passan also says Greinke would waive NTC for big market team, assuming he gets an extension or likes the situation. Your move Hendry...
owed $13.5M the next 2 years...
I imagine 3 top 10 prospects would be needed to make that deal.
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
In reference to Theriot playing SS for the Cardinals...
From Callis at Baseball America:
According to BIS, Brendan Ryan saved more runs with his glove (27) than any player in baseball this year.
It's not a complete list to look at. Just best and worst.
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
"Two days before they were likely to non-tender him, the Los Angeles Dodgers instead traded second baseman Ryan Theriot to the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday for right-handed reliever Blake Hawksworth, a move that bolsters the Dodgers' bullpen and also paves the way for newly signed infielder Juan Uribe to take over as the club's everyday second baseman."
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
STL's picked up brian tallet (cruddy loogie) on a 1 year deal and now they have theriot playing SS.
nice day for them...well, nice day for the cubs that STL had a nice day like that.
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
via Sarah Spain on Facebook - "via Jeff Gordon of STLToday: Theriot: "I'm finally on the right side of the Cubs-Cardinals rivalry.""
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
oh snap.
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
Insert curse word aimed at crappy ballplayer here.
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
I hope we sign Steve Dalkowski's corpse and he drills Theriot right in the fucking head.
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
Um, Dalkowski's still alive?
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
Brendan Ryan was much worse at the plate this past year than I realized.
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
Don't slam him too much, he'll be playing second for the Cubs by late July.
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
Probably on a ridiculous multi year Jim Hendry contract.
Miggy signs with Giants
missed this one from a few days ago, but Cubs in on Crain according to Gammons
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
6.5m for migs...crazy...they'll probably stick him at SS, too.
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
It's weird because the signings have been slow, but MLB owners definitely seem to think that their recession is over.
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
I think that's a little high based on his declining production. I can't see him playing SS everyday anymore, either.
A Scheduled Doubleheader
There will be a scheduled single-admission doubleheader this year, the first in 15 years. Not surprisingly, at least to me, it's being done by the Athletics, who are desperate to try anything given their attendance numbers.
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
Real doubleheaders rock. I once drove 7 hours to see one ... and the Cubs got swept to thank me!
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
"The Athletics will host the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in a traditional doubleheader July 16 — their first old-fashioned twinbill since 1995 and the first scheduled doubleheader anywhere since June 7, 1996, when the Minnesota Twins hosted the Athletics."
Passan against more playoff teams
the opinion don't matter, but he suggests all important parties involved want a 3-game set between 2 wild card teams.
Just hope a 7-game LDS comes with it.
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
And a world series game 7 the day after Thanksgiving!
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
they already adjusted the schedule this year to allow for the 3-game set on what was the final weekend of the season.
Take out all the unnecessary off days in the playoffs and it wouldn't change anything.
or schedule double-headers during the season or go to 154 games.
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
Well, I doubt that the 6 games of playoffs will make up for 120 regular season games.
The off-days are so that MLB can schedule the games on their prime spots, away from the NFL and other nights when there's something else to watch. Shortening the existing playoffs will make revenue decline.
Plus it's going to still going to look like a real stupid idea when the first 100 win wild card team loses to a 88 win wild card team.
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
well nonetheless, the 3-game WC playoff is coming in 2012.
Whether a 7-game LDS is coming with it, I don't know, although I read in this phantom article that I can no longer find that is what most of the GM's and players want.
that's not the story I read, but the suggestions from the players are if the owners want expanded playoffs they need to shorten the season and most want a 7-game LDS as well. The article I keep recalling in my mind was one from Stark or one of those types that also asked executives and such and a 7-game LDS is something a lot people want.
We'll see what gets negotiated, but Selig already said that he does plan to try to trim the off days in the playoffs.
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
setup reliever Jason Frasor accepts arb from the Bluejays...thankfully we won't have to hear about him as being on the Cubs radar all winter
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
Stl columist (Bernie Miklasz) points out that basically Theriot sucks...unless LaRussa uses him as the next Aaron Miles (scrappy/crappy utility guy).
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
forgot who Steve Dalkowski was...so for those who didn't remember
He is sometimes called the fastest pitcher in baseball history and had a fastball that probably exceeded 100 MPH...Dalkowski was also famous for his unpredictable performance and inability to control his pitches. His alcoholism and violent behavior off the field caused him problems during his career and after his retirement.
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
Does anyone remember the name of the guy Sports Illustrated made up for an April Fool's Day article?
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
Sidd Finch, according to Google.
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
Thanks. All I could come up with was Sid Thrift and I knew that wasn't right.
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
I Could just remember the tagline for the article was an acronym for "Happy April Fool's" and they used Yogi for the 'Y'.
I also remember the guy on the camel and the picture of the Met (Gary Carter?) showing his pained catching hand.
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
Pic of Sidd Finch honing his yogic pitching skills
Re: A Real Stocking Stuffer!
Hilarious, but now I want the rest of the pictures. I remember how mad I was at the time, since they already had Dr K.

Chris Sale was scratched from tonight's scheduled start due to a clubhouse incident before the game
he was sent home by the team, too. the wsox released a press statement and everything. they stated it was non-physical in nature.
He was scratched from his start today. No reason given.
At the start of the season the book was that he was trying to pitch to more contact so he could stay in the game longer and it seems to be working so far. Contact against is 77.5% this year and it was 70.2% the year before. He averaged 6.7 IP/game last year and so far it's 7 IP/game. His actual pitches per game are only down to 106.1/game from 107.2/game last year but if he's able to go a bit farther into games without throwing more pitches and without giving up more runs that is a good thing.
sale's skills and insane value makes it almost too hard to have a market for the guy...he's got 3/38m owed to him over 3 seasons (2 team options). he could easily pull in 30m/yr if he was on the market as a FA.
he's throwing a bit differently this season, especially with more sliders and less changeups like earlier in his career, but all his stuff still looks great even if the HRs are a little elevated and the Ks are down.
Torres, Happ, McKinney, Jimenez, and Candelario for Sale. Deal or no deal?
"The White Sox are reportedly asking for "five top prospects" for Chris Sale, FanRag Sports' Jon Heyman reports."
Unless he develops 30+ HR power and keeps his walk rate close to his K rate at the MLB level, he's not going to turn into Prince Fielder. And even if he does turn into Prince Fielder, he's gonna have a short prime. His very limited athleticism is likely to also detract some value from his ability to reach base--I don't buy making an out as being preferable to base clogging, but you'd certainly prefer just about any base runner other than Vogelbach, David Ortiz, etc.
seeing as arod has played a total of 27.1 innings of D at 1st/3rd and somehow managed a -0.5 dWAR with his 1 error at 1st and an overall positive total zone rating...he might end up even more in the shitter via the characteristics/flaws/whatever of how some sites determine various WAR values. dWAR doesn't directly lead to a WAR value, but the 2 main entities pushing the most popular variations of WAR sometimes lead to some interesting discrepancies in value.
I have a lot of faith in Baez that he's going to turn into a more consistent, solid player. It looks like it took him about a half season or so of futility at the plate to figure out he was not talented enough to get away with the crazy approach he had. I think his running game will eventually have a more measured aggression.

Skip to comments.Sean Penn Wants Reporters Jailed for Calling Chavez 'Dictator'
Posted on 03/08/2010 3:32:52 PM PST by mockingbyrd
First Amendment be damned . . . If Oscar-winning actor Sean Penn had his way, any journalist who called Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez a dictator would quickly find himself behind bars.
Penn, appearing on HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher" on Friday, defended Chavez during a segment in which he detailed his work with the JP Haitian Relief Organization, which he co-founded.
"Every day, this elected leader is called a dictator here, and we just accept it, and accept it" said Penn, winner of two Best Actor Academy Awards. "And this is mainstream media, who should -- truly, there should be a bar by which one goes to prison for these kinds of lies."
It was just the beginning of a busy weekend for Penn. When asked on CBS' "Sunday Morning" about those who question his motives for his humanitarian work in Haiti, he said:
"Do I hope that those people die screaming of rectal cancer? Yeah. You know, but I'm not going to spend a lot of energy on it."
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
Why do these idiots persist in believing that if indeed a real dictator took over, that they would be in the halls of power?
Yeah well he would want me executed for most of what I say about Chavez.
Isn't that a little ironic?
I want Penn jailed for openly advocating on behalf of dictator Chavez.....
One fascist talking about another one.
Who is "Sean Penn" and why should I give a sh*t about what he thinks?
I don't know what Napolitano is talking about. Has anyone suggested he shouldn't be allowed to say this?
He is a dictator.
Same as Castro (whichever).
Same as Mugabe.
I want Penn jailed for being an idiot. Or just for being.
Go back to your Bong, Spicoli .....
Some time ago, I read that a lot of Hollyweird elites never graduated high school. That would tend to explain the gross ignorance. But I don't know if it's true.
Wasn't Penn's father a commie?
We need more McCarthyism.
He must have depressive psychosis. Perhaps he should go back down to Chavez and get some more of that male bonding.
The Southern Poverty Law Center will hunt you down and place a "right wing" label on your back, watch out. ;)
Hey Sean. I didn't call him a dictator. "Taster".
That stupid ditz owes his fortune and his life of ease to the American capitalist system. Had he started in Hugo's paradise he'd probably be living in some hovel.
he's Hugo's perfect follower.
"Do I hope that those people die screaming of rectal cancer? Yeah". Sean Penn humanitarian
Shouldn't Penn be confined for roaming stupid in public?
Another Champion of the 1st Amendment demanding it be denied to everyone else....
He'd be the first to demand his First Amendment rights and the first to deny you yours ....
Fascism is the unspoken streak that lives in the heart of liberalism.
You can't fix stupid.
I'm sure Larry king will be happy to continue giving him a platform for the full hour.
Sean, come to my house, and knock on my door to tell me you are taking me to jail. My room mates, Smith and Wesson, might object.
Amazing how fascist these liberals are.
When you start poking what libs say, so often it turns out they are as bad as Hitler in taking away freedoms. But they get so angry when you point it out.
To the clueless Penn - if you want the press imprisoned for their opinion, you are a fascist. If you can't figure that out, you are a fool.
Sob, sob,,,?
Yes, and like father like son.
Just abbreviate dictator to dic. when you journalists write stories about him.
And his college degree is in... what?
I want sean penn jailed for being a moron.
I think Penn also said he was hoping to get an acting job soon to pay for the works he'd done in Haiti.
Wishing that members of a potential movie audience die painfully is not going to have the casting people flocking to your door, moron. The country's going conservative, or hadn't you noticed? Sarandon is practically doing made for TV movies now — and those aren't even getting any ratings. And all those fab anti-Iraq movies have died at the box office, along with SpongeMike Sweatpants Moore's last two fakeumentaries.
Ah, Sean .. once an assclown, always an assclown.
You should care because a LOT of people think like him.
If they get more power, we're doomed.
One day Mr Penn will have his eyes opened to the truth of Chavez, I hope he can live with himself then.
surely Daddy must have dropped baby Sean on his head at one point
You can't beat it out of them either but I think it would be wrong not to at least try.
I want people arrested for calling Penn an actor.
Yep. Penn made a CIA movie a couple of years ago. It sounded interesting and I probably would have seen it if anyone other than Penn had been the lead.
The idea of squaring Penn with national security and the CIA was too much for me.
BTW, Penn once gave an interview and his kids were begging him to STFU. They told him that he was embarrassing the whole family.
But, it appears he just can't help himself. Ruin his career, embarrass his family, doesn't seem to care. He is obsessed with promoting totalitarian Marxism regardless of the consequences.
Sean Penn is living proof that one can be a complete moron in America and yet make it somewhat big. Typical loudmouthed leftist-bashing the country that gave him a good life. Move to Venezuela already you anus hole.
I would say it right to this little pipsqueak's face.
In spite of his reputation, I have no fear that he would take a swing at me. After all, I'm not a woman.
He peaked at Spicoli.
Useless tool ever since.
No we're not, we have the guns. Don't ever forget that.

I was looking for a post a note dispenser at a local "office supply" store and was surprised at the cost of one. ($10-12) Since I am an educator I liked the apple shape and was pleasantly surprised that it cost much less through Wal-Mart.com. I had it sent to the store, so I didn't have to pay shipping either. What a deal!!!!
I read some of the other reviews that it is heavy, big and takes up a lot of space. Really!! Compared to some of the others that I have seen in a purse shape, shoe and pebble design- this actually stands up and doesn't lay flat on the desk. The weight is needed to keep it where you want it. It will take up approx. 3 square inches of your desk. If you think that is too much space to spare, maybe it is time to do a little clearing off of your desk.
It is eye appealing and functions very well. I don't have to look for a note paper anymore, I know exactly where I can find it; in my cute, practical and space saving Apple dispenser.
I bought this at the beginning of the school year. I am a teacher and sometimes my desk gets a little crowded, but I can I always spot my big apple with the hot green post-it's...love it!
The red apple Post-it dispenser garners nothing but smiles from friends, co-workers, relatives, aliens, and the occasional horse (who wants to eat it ;-) .. it's just an adorable piece of industrial design, and everyone who's seen mine usually reacts with a "where did you get that? I want one!" type comment.. it's perfectly weighted, just the right size, and works exactly as advertised.. of all the new Post-it dispensers, the red apple is, by far, my favorite, and I'd hazard a guess that it's probably the best-selling, most popular of the group of custom dispensers.. there are a bajillion different kinds of desk accessories that everyone's seen and used.. this one is simply in a different league from any other kind of desk accessory I've ever owned.. every time I look at it, I smile :-) ..
Best pop-up dispenser I have ever bought! I bought this for my house desk but it ended up on my seven year old son's desk. He loves it, not only is it adorable but it is just a well made product that will definitely last a long time in my house. Since it has made its way to my house I have to say that I have purchased several others as gifts for people, Especially the teachers....What a fantastic item!!! And who doesn't use post-it notes? I can't think of anyone who wouldn't love this! Thank you post-it for making such a great addition to my house!

I really love the look of this apple post-it pop up dispenser. The post-its come out easily and one at a time consistently. It's really nice that the apple is weighted down so that you don't have to worry about it slipping off of your desk etc. It also works as a suitable paper weight when needed. My only issue I have with this dispenser is the fact that once you take it apart to replace the post-its, the apple itself is a bit difficult to fit back together without worry of breaking something.
I have to say by far that this dispenser is the best dispenser I've ever used for Post-It notes. Its appropriateness, light weight, small size adds to the practicality. Teachers do not need one more apple item nor one more thing on his/her desk. However, this is one apple item that all teachers need on their desk. More often than not, teachers need to grab a piece of paper to write a quick note. This product allows for that. Plus, it's fun to use.
The Apple Pop-Up Notes Dispenser is the best dispenser I've ever had! It's weighted so that it doesn't tip over when I pull a note out and it is easy to reload new pop-up notes in it. Having it on my desk at school allows me to quickly make notes to myself about things I need to do as soon as I have a chance. It looks great on my desk, too! I liked this dispenser so much that I bought two more for my children's teachers to use!
I am enjoying my Apple Pop-Up Dispenser. It really stands out on my desk at school. As a teacher, I use Post-It notes frequently. In this whimsical dispenser, I can easily reach for my Post-Its. The apple itself is weighted just enough so that I don't pull the whole dispenser off my desk. It stays put and only the paper comes out. Filling/refilling it is a breeze. I'm going to have to get one for my office at home!
I have this right by my classroom door and it is terrific when a parent pops in to take a quick note for me or them. I also use it when others stop by and need to write a date,time,or etc. down. It is always handy and easy to change the dispenser paper when I run out. The apple is weighted so when you grab a post it note the dispenser doesn't fall on the ground! Great product!
You'll never have to hunt around for a piece of paper again! This bright eye-catching Apple Dispenser will not only make finding paper to write a note easy but you can also post a note on the side of the dispenser to alert others that you've left a note for them. You can also use it as a great accessory for your desk or countertop to send a bright welcome to all who enter.
I use a lot of your products for personal use as well as in my classroom. I purchased the dispenser for my desk. The dispenser helps me to stay organized. The quality of your products are just what the consumer needs and wants. I would like to thank your company for creating such products with everyone in mind from the average student to the business professional.
The pop-up apple has a cheerful and contemporary look to it, and it is a perfect addition to my desk. It is heavy, so it doesn't tip over or get overpowered on my occasionally (okay, frequently) messy desk. The bright green post-its look perfect in this dispenser. I have a red-accented kitchen, so I'm probably going to buy a second one for there!
I'm loving it! It's so cute. It is a bit larger, and it does make the "sand" noise when you move it, but it is extremely functional. I love how it is weighed. The weight is just right so that it doesn't move when I pull a post-it and I can also use it as a paper weight. It is very bright and I love how the red adds a pop of color to my desk!
As a non-traditional full-time student I rely on post-it products in any shape or form. My planner, desk, fridge, cupboard - everything becomes a message- or reminder board. The dispensers are great for the desk/office. They are cute, decorative and offer one post-it after the next. Refilling them is easy and it's always handy.
Gave this to my daughter-in-law earlier in the year for her desk at school. She is a first grade teacher and the children adore her pop-up notes from the red apple which sits on her desk. I would recommend any of these fun dispensers for both notes as well as scotch tape. All of them make great gifts for colleagues, etc.
I've been using this a for awhile now and just love it. I've been working on a project that has my desk covered in paper. But no matter how much paper I have on my desk, I can always find my Post-its. This fun apple dispenser sits up and is hard to miss. Much more fun that than just a pad of post-its sitting on my desk.
camt describe how much I love this post-it pop up dispenser. It has made it so easy to conference with my students, where I sit with each child and have to quickly jot down some goals for the student, and the student has to store it in his notebook. So quick to grab, jot, and stick! Thanks for the free Apple!,,
The Apple Post-it Notes Dispenser was very convenient to use. The Apple design is cute but it's bright red color made it a bit too conspicuous to use for my office desk; I am using it on my desk in my home office. The fact that it is well weighted is a plus as it remains in place when pulling out a note.
I keep this dispenser on my desk at school. It is a great way to quickly jot down notes for myself or to give quick feedback to my students. The weight of the dispenser allows you to grab a note with one hand, as opposed to the smaller paper holders (which are not as sturdy). Definitely worth the money!

SCOTTSDALE, AZ-Whitestone REIT continues to expand its area presence, most recently acquiring the 118,730-square-foot Mercado at Scottsdale Ranch. The Houston REIT paid $21.3 million to seller Rassier Properties of Danville, CA, for the grocery anchored retail property.
Located at 10105 E. Via Linda, Mercado at Scottsdale Ranch is 93% occupied. Tenants include AJ's Fine Foods and Walgreens. According to Vizzda News, Whitestone paid approximately $10 million in cash for the property and assumed the remaining $11 million CMBS debt in care of US Bank as trustee. Vizzda notes that Rassier acquired the property as a TIC with two other investors in 2003 and was refinanced with $11 million in new debt with Goldman Sachs Commercial Mortgage Capital. The note was securitized, and though the property never was noticed for trustee sale, the note was assigned to special servicer LNR Partners.
According to Whitestone chairman and CEO James C. Mastandrea, Mercado at Scottsdale Ranch provides good value-add prospects, located as it is in what he terms a "densely populated, master-planned affluent community."
"Mercado is the primary shopping center serving the upscale Scottsdale Ranch neighborhood and the nearby Mirador and Ensenada del Oro neighborhoods," Mastandrea goes on to say. "The center was purchased below replacement cost at $179 per square foot, and serves an area with significantly higher annual total consumer expenditure per person than the broader Phoenix metropolitan statistical area. Furthermore, because 80% of the tenants at Mercado at Scottsdale are small shop and service businesses, Mastandrea says it fits Whitestone REIT's model well.
Whitestone now owns approximately 1.4 million square feet of gross leasable area in greater Phoenix through 16 assets and future development land parcels. These centers include:
- The Shops at Pecos Ranch
- Ahwatukee Plaza
- The Citadel
- Desert Canyon
- Fountain Square
- Gilbert Tuscany Village
- MarketPlace at Central
- Paradise Plaza
- Pima Norte
- Pinnacle of Scottsdale
- Shops at Pinnacle Peak
- Terravita Marketplace
- Village Square at Dana Park
Whitestone also has future development land parcels at Pinnacle of Scottsdale and Village Square at Dana Park.

AbstractUp until the early twentieth century, several commodity chemicals were produced by the pyrolysis of hardwoods (e.g., methanol, acetic acid, acetone) or the extraction of softwoods (turpentine, terpenes, rosins, pitches, and tars). The expected long term increase in petroleum and natural gas prices will cause a gradual but steady return to biomass feedstocks over the next several decades. Other drivers include the presence of oxygenated functional groups in biomass liquids which may be desirable in the end products and environmental considerations which favor biomass over fossil derived feedstocks. Renewable materials from home-grown crops, trees and agricultural wastes can provide many of the same chemical building blocks as the petrochemical industry, plus others that are not readily available from petroleum. This project will produce a methodology for the evaluation of the resource potential of these materials and will greatly benefit the rural economy.

I am being constantly amused by the incessant banter of NGR, but i still prefer OT. I am on here about 9 hours a day while I am at work, so i see a lot of it.
My wife is 6 months pregnant as of two days ago, everything seems to be going well, which is relief as it has never been known. Overall I am the most happy I have ever been. Life is doing exactly what it is supposed to be doing.

SNAP Longboard 1055 (Complete)
Regular Price: $219.00

SNAP Longboard 1055 (Foldable Deck)
Regular Price: $189.00
Special Price: $169.00
"It is perfect for cruising. Big wheels make avoiding obstacles easier. The materials are high quality so it feels really good. I use a cabin bag to carry it in the underground. The block system is robust and the flex is really good (you don't even notice that the longboard is made of 3 deck parts). I have been using it for one week and it is really useful if you live in a little flat or if you travel by bus or underground." – 1055 longboard -- It works properly and it is really useful. Review by fermaca.
SNAP Skateboard Co. created the world's first folding skateboard and now introduces a 41.25-inch foldable longboard. SNAP Longboard is very durable and precision crafted to achieve its high level of quality. The 0.53-inch thick bamboo longboard is beautifully constructed and integrated with a robust folding mechanism for ease of portability and absorption of bumpy road vibration for fast and smooth cruising. The symmetrical deck has dual kicktails and ample standing room, and it can also fold compactly to easily carry or put in a locker after an exhilarating ride. Our company motto: "Ride it. Fold it. Stow it." means this advanced longboard won't ever be a burden to transport or stow away.

Eddie Sefko of The Dallas Morning News: "The right eardrum might never be the same. It wasn't so much the ear-splitting decibel level, although it was quite loud. It's that from the moment the caravan of the Mavericks' parade celebration pulled out of the Convention Center to the time when it pulled underneath American Airlines Center, the noise was constant. Dallas, you partied like champions. In the more than one-mile parade route, Rick Carlisle's chariot didn't witness one foul act. People yelled loud and stayed classy, the way champions like it. 'I don't know what 250,000 people sound like,'' Carlisle said. 'But this sounds like more. This feels and sounds like a million.' And this was just a few minutes into the winding journey that Carlisle, wife Donna and 7-year-old daughter Abby made with about 40 other vehicles and 250,000 of their closest friends who paid tribute to the Mavericks' first NBA championship. The parade was 'an incredible'' journey, according to Jason Terry, just like the Mavericks' season. Indeed, the first thing that came to mind in the Mavericks' celebration was a Robert Earl Keen song: 'The Road Goes On Forever, And The Party Never Ends.' For anybody."
Staff of The Dallas Morning News: "Jason Terry was an integral part of the Mavericks' championship season. His Game 6 heroics helped the franchise win its first NBA title ... and allowed Terry to keep his O'Brien trophy tattoo that was on his bicep. After the victory, Terry considered his career to be complete. Jet has played on All-Star teams, the playoffs, and now has the final piece of the puzzle: an NBA championship. And with one year left on his current contract, there are some that wonder if next season could be it for one of the Mavericks' top perimeter players. With next season up in the air due to a potential lockout, there's a possibility this past season could be it for Terry. And during Thursday's celebration at the American Airlines Center, Terry hinted he'd like one more thing before he goes: 'Brad Davis, Ro Blackman, move over, there's new jerseys coming to town.' As Terry has mentioned many times before, he always wanted to retire with the Mavericks and, if the Mavericks won the title, have his No. 31 jersey retired. With a championship under his belt, he very well could get his wish."
Mark Kiszla of The Denver Post: "Isn't Denver among those pro franchises that exist mainly to give LeBron James or Kobe Bryant a warm building in which to shoot jump shots on a wintry night in February, before the playoff race heats up for true contenders? Come on. Despite trying since the 1960s, the Nuggets aren't meant to hold a victory parade. 'I don't buy that,' Masai Ujiri said Thursday. So I asked him if I should put a period or anexclamation point behind his belief that the Nuggets can win a championship. 'Exclamation point,' Ujiri insisted. Gotta like the way this man thinks. It's bold talk. 'Who doesn't want to win?' Ujiri said. Now for the tough questions: Does NBA commissioner David Stern have the nerve, and will franchise owners maintain the unity required to bring significant change to the sport, even if it means shutting down the league for months on end? If there is to be any real hope for the Thunder or Nuggets to win a championship, the looming labor strife must be more about improving competitive balance than dividing billions of dollars. ... Predicting eight championships by a single team? That's bravado reserved for James and the chosen ones in a league that has long worshipped brand names and television ratings far more than a notion as quaint as a level playing field. 'Can there be a Green Bay Packers in pro basketball?' George Karl asked. 'Can there be a parity mentality in pro basketball that overcomes the elite teams?' Turn out the lights. Lock the arena doors. Until the NBA finds a good answer to the toughest question, the league has no business playing basketball."
Dan Bickley of The Arizona Republic: "Those who wish to trade Steve Nash present a logical argument. He's 37, an aging point guard in a young man's league. Without more talent around him, his services are being wasted in Phoenix. Peddling him to the right suitor could bring much in return, helping the Suns transition into a new era of basketball. Sorry, not this time. Too many players have left the Suns in a huff. Few have been as popular as Nash. And when Nowitzki finally broke through in Dallas, it was proof that loyalty matters, that faith can be rewarded, that patience is a virtue. Still, you wonder how Nash felt when he saw his close friend prevail in the NBA Finals. Does it make him believe in storybook endings? Does it trigger wanderlust, prompting him to request a trade and seek a championship elsewhere? Surely, he has noticed what the title has done for Nowitzki's reputation. ... There's much to love about both Nash and Nowitzki, and before Kerr left the organization, he wanted to reunite the former teammates in Phoenix. He asked Nash to help recruit Nowitzki if he didn't sign an extension with Dallas. Nash agreed, but the window never opened. 'Dirk's too loyal of a guy,' Kerr said. 'He and Steve are one and the same; Dirk is just the seven-foot version of Steve. They're basketball guys who want to get better and be great teammates. That's it.' Lesson to the Suns: You hold onto guys like that, whatever the cost, wherever the journey ends."
Tom Couzens of The Sacramento Bee: "With the NBA and Stanley Cup finals over, here's an idea. How about adding power plays in the NBA? No, not for routine fouls; we're thinking two-minute minors for technicals and five-minute majors for flagrant fouls. Playing a man short would open up the game; fans would love how the team with a full squad would attack the basket. And imagine the reaction of a coach if one of his players hammers an opponent -- the Lakers' Andrew Bynum comes to mind -- leaving his team short-handed for five minutes. Hey, don't laugh; after all, the American League uses the designated hitter."
Benjamin Hochman of The Denver Post: "Nuggets training camp won't start until late September. And who knows if they'll have one at all in 2011, thanks to the impending lockout? But whenever the Nuggets unite, Karl plans to teach them a lesson about the Mavericks, the team that beat The Big Three. 'We know we're a better defensive team than Dallas, but do we pass the ball as well as Dallas?' Karl said Thursday after Denver worked out six draft prospects, notably Texas' Jordan Hamilton and Michigan's Darius Morris. 'They're just a team that finds the open man. Period. They're going to find the open man. You had guys (on their roster) who five years ago weren't into finding the open man. Dirk probably wasn't. Jason Terry probably wasn't. (DeShawn) Stevenson, Shawn Marion . But they had a plan. The key to playoff basketball is the hustle, wild-card player -- who the great player allows him to (ascend). Would Dirk have allowed those guys to take the spotlight five years ago?' The Nuggets, of course, don't have a Dirk (perhaps they have Dirk Light in Danilo Gallinari, who is just 22 and shows flashes that are Dirk-like). Karl knows that for his players to make a playoff push, they must trust each other."
Rick Telander of the Chicago Sun-Times: "So what is going through Forman's opaque mind as the draft nears? We don't know, but this age thing seems to bode well for the Bulls. Rose is 22. Joakim Noah is 26. Luol Deng is 26. Taj Gibson is 25. Omer Asik is 24. The Heat, the Eastern Conference team to beat, has James, 26, Chris Bosh, 26, and Dwyane Wade, 29. Could the Big Three all be in decline? But above all, if the little tidbit Forman pondered was correct, Rose will get better. An improved MVP. That's something. But as Forman surely knows, numbers can mean little. Even can be lies in disguise. To wit, Michael Jordan was 35 when he led the Bulls to their sixth NBA title in 1998. Scottie Pippen was 32. Ron Harper was 34. Dennis Rodman was 37. But if LeBron and Co. actually have peaked? And Rose will be a better player two years from now? No wonder a GM's brain never stops spinning."
Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel: "Perhaps no NBA roster uses Twitter more than the Orlando Magic, and that fact dismays Otis Smith, the team's president of basketball operations and its general manager. Indeed, Gilbert Arenas, who was fined recently by the NBA for the content in at least one tweet, isn't the only Orlando player who likes the microblogging service. At least 10 of the 13 players who finished the 2010-11 season on the Magic roster have Twitter accounts. Smith, who played in the NBA from 1986 to 1992 and considers himself "old school" in many respects, won't be joining Twitter anytime soon. Asked by the Orlando Sentinel for his reaction to Arenas' controversial Twitter account, Smith made his thoughts clear. 'I have thoughts about everyone's Twitter account, actually,' he said. 'It's got to be the dumbest thing a professional athlete has ever done. But they do it, and I've got no problem with that. That's the world that we live in now: the mass media in which everyone is a reporter and everyone has an opinion on stuff and they continue to put it out there. God bless 'em all. Why a guy in the public eye would choose to do that kind of stuff is beyond me.' "
Mark Murphy of the Boston Herald: "Little wonder that Ray Allen exercised the option on the final year of his contract last week without much debate. He believes the Celtics have another Duck Boat parade in them. 'When I had to sit back and think about it, we were our own worst enemies,' he said. 'We have the personnel to be successful moving forward, so there wasn't a need for me to look for something greener somewhere else. I didn't flinch too much. I think about the teams potentially I could have went to, and what we have here is too valuable. We used to say we were a better team, but you have to prove it.' Allen touched on a wide range of topics yesterday, including his haunting belief that the Celtics were good enough not only to beat Miami, but to win the title this year. On the NBA Finals: 'Most of the time, watching the Eastern Conference finals, we were still, in my opinion, better than most of the teams that played. We lost to Dallas twice this year, but we still liked our chances against them. It was just us playing our best basketball. A kid asked me: Who was the toughest opponent we had to face this year? And, I said it was ourselves.' "
Jody Genessy of the Deseret News: "Brandon Knight missed the Jimmerpalooza-Kemba Walker Show by a day. But he gave the Utah Jazz a solo performance Thursday morning, which left a favorable impression on the team with two lottery picks. 'He showed himself very well,' Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin said. 'He did a really good job. I mean, it was one-on-zero, but (he was able) to show his talent level. ... His basketball IQ seemed to be high.' Though the Jazz would have preferred the Kentucky freshman to go up against Jimmer Fredette, Walker or other point guards, the franchise has a history of not letting similar decisions of going solo sway their ultimate drafting decision. To wit, Utah went through that same scenario six years ago when it last picked a premier point guard this high in the draft. 'We didn't hold it against Deron (Williams) when he came in here (by himself),' Jazz general manager Kevin O'Connor reminded reporters, recalling how D-Will only did individual workouts prior to being picked third in the 2005 Draft. 'Would you like to see him compete? Sure, but that's their decision and we'll go from there.' "
Jeff Roberts of The Record: "The bullet wound has healed, fading to a distant, unsettling memory. His fractured left wrist is '100 percent,' despite the occasional stiffness. The worst has passed, Jeremy Hazell hopes. He has overcome a devastating season that included the injury and a Christmas night robbery attempt that ended with a bullet ripping through his right side, just below his armpit, during a visit home to Harlem. And now he's been 'blessed' with a chance to show the NBA that the broken scaphoid bone that cost him 13 games of his senior season at Seton Hall -- from mid-November to mid-January -- is not a concern. The 6-foot-5, 188-pound sharpshooter has impressed evaluators in his pre-draft workouts, including Thursday morning for the Nets at the PNY Center. ... '[It] just humbled me man, just a humbling situation,' said Hazell of the past year. 'But I'm back, just trying to get these workouts done and get back on the radar and try to make it to the NBA.' "

ABINGTON – As many as 80 runners are expected to join the Boston Strong Memorial Run in Abington tonight.
The 3-mile run will step off at the Abington Target, 385 Centre Ave., at 6:30 p.m.
The run, organized by the Abington-based Colonial Road Runners, will pay tribute to the victims of the marathon attacks and their families, said Michelle Brokmeier, vice president of the club, which has about 500 members.
"It has taken off like wildfire. It's taken on that much more meaning," said Brokmeier, 50, a Rockland resident.
Runners from several communities, including Raynham, Brockton, Abington, Hanover, Scituate, Marshfield, Duxbury and Bridgewater, are expected to participate.
Last year, a day after the marathon attacks, a group from Colonial Road Runners ran the same 3-mile course starting at Target in Abington, officials said.
"We all rallied and everybody just kind of said, 'Do you want to?' and before you knew it, we had everybody there," Brokmeier said.
Les Laputz, president of Colonial Road Runners and a Duxbury resident, said he hopes today's turnout will be the same as last year "to continue the healing that we started back then."
"We're looking forward to the marathon next week, and to supporting the runners who have shown courage to go out and run it again," he said.

NYPD Rape Case Collides With Joel Steinberg Adoption Scandal in Surprise Testimony
Two New York City tabloid stories -- one current and one from a quarter-century ago -- crashed into one another yesterday in a Manhattan court room during a gynecologist's testimony in the rape case against two New York Police Department officers, Franklin Mata and Kenneth Moreno. During cross-examination of the day's expert witness, prosecutors grilled Dr. Mitchell Essig about his role in the illegal 1986 adoption by Joel Steinberg, who later beat his six-year-old daughter, also adopted illegally, to death. Dr. Essig had helped deliver an infant boy directly to Steinberg's law office. Though Essig clarified that he was never charged with a role in the crimes, it probably didn't speak well to the jurors for his reputation, or at least that was the idea.
Dr. Essig had just testified that the East Village woman, who claims she was raped by the cops assigned to help her get home after a drunk night, had just "common" bruises on cervix. Prosecutors allege that the red spot found during a sexual assault examination is consistent with her claim that she was raped while lying on her stomach.
"This is a normal cervix," said Dr. Essig, though on cross-examination, he admitted to never having administered a sexual assault exam.
Jury deliberation is expected to begin next week. For more on the case, read here, here and here.

I am going to do my best possible written recap of our stay at Holualoa Inn, but its going to be no where close to reality. My wife and I came here on the end of our 2 week Hawaii trip and stayed for 3 nights in the Coffee Cherry Room. From the moment we waled in, to the time we left, we were treated with love, respect and like family. The staff at the Inn were some of the nicest people we have ever met, and really took good care of us and other guests.

The past two days I've been craving tomato soup... w/chunks of tomatoes still in it- almost to to the point of it being a tomato sauce you slow cooked all day (can you tell I'm a foodie?)
