Upcoming Conferences and Events
SBD/January 12, 2011/Leagues and Governing Bodies
Published January 12, 2011
MLB owners will begin their two-day quarterly owners meeting today in Paradise Valley, Ariz., with preparation for the upcoming CBA negotiations with the MLBPA again at the top of the agenda. No significant formal action items from the owners are expected, but much like owners' meetings throughout '10, discussion toward the upcoming labor talks will be paramount. The current five-year accord expires after the '11 season. As been the case for the past year, MLB Commissioner Bud Selig has invited team GMs to take part in the meetings, as many of the discussions up for negotiation with the players involve onfield-related subjects such as the First-Year Player Draft and postseason format. Selig tomorrow afternoon will also convene another session of his Special Committee for On-Field Matters. That panel will continue to discuss an expanded postseason format and enlarged instant replay, though no changes will be enacted for the '11 season and instead will be collectively bargained for '12 and beyond (Eric Fisher, SportsBusiness Journal). MLB.com's Barry Bloom reported both an expanded playoffs and instant replay are "being discussed at the committee level," but there is "insufficient time to implement any changes prior to the March 31 start of the regular season." Selig said, "There continues to be fruitful talks about it, but they're definitely off the table for this year. Really, I think that's what we've been saying all along." Selig added expanded use of instant replay is "still under discussion, but there's nothing new" (MLB.com, 1/11).

"Equipped with two fans, one above the large 122x146mm aluminum cooling fin array and the other below it, the Glacialtech Siberia heatsink packs a lot into a thermal solution that stands just 122mm tall, roughly 145mm square. Six 6mm diameter copper heatpipes support the two differently sized translucent blue fans which hang from ~45 louvered aluminum fins, giving the Glacialtech Siberia a somewhat top-heavy appearance. The heatpipes are packed closely together and covered by copper heatspreader, rather than left exposed."

Every season, several true freshmen make an immediate impact in the SEC. Judging by the way things look to be heading at some SEC powerhouses there might be even more than usual this season, but here are five that we predict to make the biggest splash in 2014.
Leonard Fournette, LSU: When well-respected college football writers are projecting a true freshman running back as the Heisman Trophy winner -- and more than a few have at least mentioned Fournette's name in the conversation -- you know the kid is special. LSU fans rejoiced when Fournette announced that he would become a Tiger, and he has done nothing since then to temper their excitement. Blessed with exceptional size, speed and power, Fournette is going to become a star. The only question is when. Even if he must share carries with backfield mates Terrence Magee, Kenny Hilliard and Darrel Williams, Fournette's debut will be celebrated with Mardi Gras-like fanfare around Louisiana. -- David Ching
Cam Robinson, Alabama: It might not be the toughest position to learn on the offensive line, but there's an argument to be made that left tackle is the most critical. And considering Alabama is breaking in a new quarterback, it's even more important to protect his blind side. Which makes it all the more impressive that Robinson, a former five-star prospect, came into spring camp as a true freshman and won the starting job for the final spring scrimmage. He has size, he has agility and, apparently, he has the consistency few rookies possess. Even in today's day and age of young guys playing earlier and earlier, the fact that he's gone all the way through fall camp without any setbacks or doubt about his starting from Week 1 is flat-out impressive. -- Alex Scarborough
Roc Thomas, Auburn: The hype all offseason has been on Fournette at LSU, but he's not the only talented freshman running back in the SEC. If given the opportunity, Thomas has a chance to be just as productive his first year. The question is whether or not there will be enough carries to go around. Despite losing Tre Mason to the NFL, Auburn has four capable running backs who should all contribute this year. Cameron Artis-Payne and Corey Grant will get the first crack because of experience, but Thomas is too good to keep off the field. Don't be surprised if he's the guy by mid-October. -- Greg Ostendorf
Myles Garrett, Texas A&M: After signing him in February, Kevin Sumlin jokingly referred to Garrett as "Batman" in reference to the sculpted body that the 6-foot-5, 255-pound five-star prospect boasts. Since arriving on campus this summer, Garrett has earned the respect of his teammates and performed well on the practice field. "Myles is about what we thought when we recruited him," defensive coordinator Mark Snyder said last week. For a player ranked No. 4 overall in the 2014 class, that means look out. Garrett will play early and often and should provide a boost to the Aggies' pass rush immediately, something sorely needed after a down year for the Aggie defense in 2013. -- Sam Khan
Tony Brown, Alabama: The Texas native and two-sport athlete wasn't going to let some silly shoulder injury slow him down, even if that meant wearing a protective brace. The former five-star prospect got to school early and made an interception during the final spring scrimmage, albeit with one good shoulder and a black no-contact jersey on. Now closer to 100 percent, he hasn't given an inch, appearing second on the depth chart at cornerback. He'll see the field plenty as is, but if Bradley Sylve or Cyrus Jones falters, we could see Brown in the starting lineup making plays. -- Alex Scarborough

Global PC shipments decline again, Acer and Asus cling on for dear life
Apple also struggles in the US
MARKET ANALYST Gartner has reported that PC shipments declined again in the third quarter, slipping more than eight percent worldwide year over year, with Taiwanese hardware makers Acer and Asus bearing the worst of the slump.
Gartner conveyed the continuing bad news in the PC market by announcing that 80.3 million PCs shipped in the third quarter, a drop of 8.6 percent from the same quarter last year and marking the seventh consecutive quarter of declining worldwide PC shipments.
Though things look bad for the industry in general, Acer has much more to worry about, seeing the PC industry's largest decline in shipment growth.
Shifting 6.6 million PCs in the third quarter compared to the 8.6 million PCs it shipped in the same quarter last year, Acer saw shipments drop 22.6 percent year over year.
Taiwanese rival Asus wasn't far behind, though, with shipments falling from 6.3 million in the third quarter of last year to a rather depressing 4.9 million in the same quarter this year for a decline of 22.5 percent.
Gartner said that its data accounts for sales of desktop PCs and mobile PCs such as notebooks and ultrabooks only. Tablets are excluded from its PC figures.
Despite the general plunge in sales, Dell, HP and Lenovo were the only PC makers that managed growth in the third quarter, with the three firms demonstrating 1.0, 1.5 and 2.8 percent growth year over year, respectively.
As it did in the second quarter, Chinese computer firm Lenovo managed to boost shipments year over year and accounted for 17.6 percent of global PC shipments in the third quarter. According to Gartner's results, HP had 17.1 percent of shipments, showing how both firms have been virtually neck and neck for the top global position in the PC market. Although Lenovo took the lead, as it did last quarter, the upcoming holiday sales season will be a key battlefield for both companies.
"The third quarter is often referred to as the 'back-to-school' quarter for PC sales, and sales this quarter dropped to their lowest volume since 2008," said Gartner principal analyst Mikako Kitagawa, who went on to blame tablets for the continuing decline in PC sales.
He said, "Consumers' shift from PCs to tablets for daily content consumption continued to decrease the installed base of PCs both in mature as well as in emerging markets. A greater availability of inexpensive Android tablets attracted first-time consumers in emerging markets, and as supplementary devices in mature markets."
As for Apple, Gartner didn't yet have the figures on hand to give us its position worldwide as a global computer supplier. It did, however, list Apple in its US-focused PC shipments table, ranking the Cupertino giant in fifth place in terms of growth, and demonstrating a decline in shipments of 2.3 percent, behind Lenovo, Toshiba, HP, and Dell, which all showed positive growth of 24.6, 13.5, 4.5 and 3.3 percent, respectively. µ

based on the design of my site. http://dev.danielryan.net/ to see the theme Pink Is the New Black.
Sorry but pink and black really does not go well together.
hmmm, I like this a lot. It looks a little "packed in" in some places, especially the side bar. Looks a little like this (only much nicer). Keep up the good work!
while pink and black don't realy go together, I like the contrast, makes each sections headers easy to read. And easy to find.
I'm one of those who simply cannot see web pages very well if the text and background are close to each other in color/hue/shade/whatever.
it's pretyt good, I think the header title is a little harsh, even though it uses the same tone of pink - the use of pink on the menu is very well done, though the last links are perhaps to close to their respective menu ends.
Generally it's very, very well done I think. Perhaps adding a tab like effect to the posts too, would level out the page, or make it worse I'm not sure which. But I think the pink header title certainly doesn't work on it's own.
thanks for all the input
I like that one. *nods*

Closure For Billy Buck?
Former Cub Bill Buckner threw out the first pitch before the Red Sox home opener Tuesday against the Tigers. In a tearful press conference--lot of that going around this week--Buckner said he had finally been able to forgive the media for the brutal treatment he and his family had received following Buckner's fateful error in Game Six of the Sox' 1986 World Series loss to the Mets.
For a whole generation of fans, Buckner's connection to that Mookie Wilson-hit ground ball has obscured the fact that the guy was a terrific baseball player. The onetime Dodger played seven full seasons on the North Side after the Cubs had acquired him and Ivan DeJesus in a January, 1977 trade for Rick Monday.
Buckner played on some terrible Cub teams between '77 and '83, and he played for some terrible managers, including Herman Franks and Lee Elia. In fact, Buckner's first season with the Cubs was the only one in which the club finished .500. But Buckner hit better than .300 four times for the Cubs and won the NL batting title in '80 with a .324 mark. He managed to do that while limping around on chronically sore ankles that required extensive treatment and taping before each and every game.
The Cubs eventually traded Buckner to Boston in May of '84, a deal that opened up an opportunity for young Leon Durham to play first base full-time and brought Dennis Eckersley to Chicago. Durham and Eckersley were key figures in the Cubs' 1984 NL East championship. (Durham, of course, had an unfortunate post-season encounter of his own with a ground ball.)
Buckner was not as productive in Boston has he had been with the Cubs, though he did collect better than 100 RBI in his two full seasons with the Red Sox. Then Mookie Wilson happened to him. And the jokes. And the bitterness.
Buckner, who ended his 22-year career in 1990 with 2715 hits and a .289 lifetime average, was one of my favorite Cubs in the years he played here. And I am happy to see that on Tuesday in Fenway Park, where he received a long standing ovation as he hobbled out to the pitching mound to throw that ceremonial first pitch, Buckner seems to have closed a miserable chapter in an otherwise distinguished Major League career.
For the record, Buckner's numbers in his seven full seasons with the Cubs ('77--'83):
Buckner's contemporaries included the likes of Steve Garvey, Ken Griffey, Eddie Murray, Pete Rose, Robin Yount, and Dave Winfield. And in the years Buckner was a Cub, he had a higher batting average than all of them.

Re: Closure For Billy Buck?
And it's total BS he was even blamed for that game anyway. At the time he made the error, the game was tied anyway. No chance the Mets don't finish it off at that point. Bob Stanley and Rich Gedman were the real goats, and no one says boo about them. What an awful catcher Rich Gedman was.
Re: Closure For Billy Buck?
Exactly right, just like it's stupid that Bartman is blamed for the game named after him. I thought it was great that Buckner got the reception that he did and was glad that he was able to get a little closure after 20+ years.
Billy Buck and Bartman
Buckner is easily in my favorite Cubs list.
Mike and Mike were trying to make the comparison between BB and Bartman this morning on ESPN (which reminded me why I stopped listening a couple of years ago. I was just flipping channels. honest!). They said something along the lines of "Hardcore Cubs fans still won't forgive Bartman." Idiots. From what I see, hardcore cub fans never blamed Bartman after that fateful game. Just the casual fans who needed talking points did.
Re: Billy Buck and Bartman
Who you calling casual, friend? I'm as die hard as they come and I still blame that motherfucker. You analysis is BULLSHIT.
Re: Billy Buck and Bartman
So you're on the fence, Chad?
Re: Closure For Billy Buck?
Yeah, the press can never just blame the team or a group of players or plays - it's always one guy as a scapegoat for a meltdown (see Bartman). I really like those ESPN shows "The Top 5 Reasons You Can't Blame ________" - they usually do a good job of showing that there is a great deal of suck and choke from a lot of people that went into those catostrophic collapses.
First Night Game!!
about time...day games are nice and all, but i'm ready for some end-of-the-day cubs baseball on TV.
btw...great bunch of articles posted lately, including this one.
Re: First Night Game!!
It's absurd, I haven't seen a first pitch yet this year. I haven't seen more than a few innings. Between crap going on over the weekend, the opening day blackout (seriously, wtf?), and all the day games I've pretty much missed the entire first week.
In fact, I would support a shorter MLB schedule if it meant:
* Starting the season in a little bit warmer weather.
* More night games.
* No blackouts.
And tonight the game is on CSN+, so I don't even know if I get it. Last year Ft. Wayne Fios TV didn't have CSN+, but I think they do this year. I'm not getting my hopes up, though, I think there's a conspiracy against me to prevent me from watching my Cubbies.
Okay, I'm done bitching.
Re: First Night Game!!
Now here's the way I understand this deal with providing CSN+. Since you're in the Cubs market (Ft. Wayne, Indiana I presume), I believe they are required to provide it to you. It shows up on my cable only on days when the Cubs or Sox are on CSN+. Any other day the channel doesn't exist.
As far as I know, games on WCIU are exempt from that, since it's not a cable channel.
Looking at the last week
Ok, so I went to look at the standings.
Notice a trend? Our pitching has been a real problem. Funny at face I thought we weren't hitting, but pitching seems to be a real issue. Looking at all the standings the common theme of 1st place teams is low runs against. We are very lucky to be over .500, this staff needs to get it straight. I thought bad weather schedules were suppose to help pitching?
Re: Looking at the last week
The only "trend" bothering me is Ted Lilly, and Bobby Howry.
OF those RA stats, they are probably responsible for 10-14 of those.
The team pretty much should be 5-2 now. But, I expect that they'll get back some of the games grabbed from the jaws of victory
when the team's other two stars start hitting, and when Theriot sits more.
Re: Looking at the last week
I think if Ted Lilly & Bob Howry had a bad week or even two weeks in July no one would think anything about it. Let's not panic yet.
Re: Looking at the last week
When was the last time a Cubs team had an offense that could carry their pitching? I'm liking it so far cos I know our pitching is good and it will come around.
Re: Looking at the last week
That block of code/table is definitely messing with the layout...
We probably just need to see the Runs Scored and Runs Against in order for you to make your point.
Re: Looking at the last week
can you edit past posts?
Re: Closure For Billy Buck?
I believe that Darrell Johnston was the BoSox manager at the time, and he was the true idiot in this scenario. All year long he had used another 1st baseman as a defensive replacement for Buckner, but for this critical moment he leaves the poor guy in, gimpy legs and all. Predictably the ball ate Buckner up, and Johnston never offered a credible answer for his decision - nice way to throw your own player under the bus.
Re: Closure For Billy Buck?
John McNamara was the Bosox manager.
Re: Closure For Billy Buck?
YIKES -- I read the heading and thought I was being censored.
Re: Closure For Billy Buck?
if anyone is getting a free pass for 2003 it that stupid shortstop gonzalez i think,
he is the one who made the big error.
Re: Closure For Billy Buck?
Gonzo error, Dusty sitting in the dugout while Prior labored, and Farnsworth serving up the back-breaking, 2-out, 3-run double to a dink-hitting Marlin (Mike Mordecai?) when the score was 4-3.
I'm sure Dusty thought he had no better option than Prior -- given what happened to Farnsworth, he was probably right.
Re: Closure For Billy Buck?
Not to mention the poor pitch selection following the Bartman incident. As I recall, Prior had two strikes on Castillo and was trying to finish him off by blowing fastballs by him, which Castillo was barely getting a piece of him. For some reason, though Castillo was clearly barely staying alive, Prior or Miller decided to deviate from the string of fastballs, and Prior bounced a curveball to walk Castillo and let Pierre get to third. The inning devolved from there.
Re: Closure For Billy Buck?
if anyone is getting a free pass for 2003 it that stupid shortstop gonzalez
Yep. It was a "tailor made" double-play ball.
It also didn't help that Dusty sat on his ass in the dugout after the Bartman play, when he should have gone out and calmed his pitcher down. And Prior lacked the mental toughness to ignore the play and just pitch.
Re: Closure For Billy Buck?
We were never turning two on that play.
Dusty Baker Says He Begged Cubs For One More Year
And they flatly turned him down.
"Not much about him has changed. Baker still drops Hank Aaron's name every few minutes, and says "big-time" at least once every sentence. He still walks through the clubhouse and calls his players "dude" and "homie." He still chomps on toothpicks and passes out unsolicited advice."
In case this isn't 3/44 ...
Re: Dusty Baker Says He Begged Cubs For One More Year
I'm personally glad to hear he's the same "O.G." as he used to be.
Re: Closure For Billy Buck?
I think the moral to the Billy Buck and Bartman stories is that getting angrier at the guys who are involved in the mistake made in a game than the people who hound them and their family afterward is ridiculous. Bartman made the dumb mistake of reaching for that ball, just like a bunch of other people in the stands, and Buckner's body failed him on the ground ball, but it was malicious to hound these guys.

Re: Closure For Billy Buck?

If Alou makes that catch, Gonzo doesn't have to rush to try to turn two and he doesn't make that error. :P :P

What a dumb line. He becomes the Cubs' only left-handed reliever? He replaced a left handed reliever.
Re: Marshall Up, Piggy Down
Cotts can't be too happy right now.
Re: Closure For Billy Buck?
After the Bartman thing, people would always ask me what I thought, while telling me that it wasn't Bartman's fault the Cubs lost.
I agree. It was not Bartman's fault. HOWEVER, that incident changed the complexion of the inning, and even Bartman's staunchest defenders can't deny that.
Re: Closure For Billy Buck?
i think non-cubs fans loved it and followed it more than cubs fans.
bartman right or bartman wrong most cubs fans i ran into found it stupid/unfortunate/etc. but generally just in passing.
many other team's fans jumped on it as if bartman ran onto the field and took alou's knees out with a baton.
Z, prior, wood...couldn't get it done.
agonz plays a full season with hardly an error and makes the error of his career...
Re: Closure For Billy Buck?
i also blame dusty for not going to a starter out of the pen in game 7
instead we had dave veres i think in there while marlins manager
used josh beckett,needless to say dusty was once again out managed.
Re: Closure For Billy Buck?
what starter?
wood + farns (who was an ace pen guy in 03) gave up all the runs in the game.
veres+crew pitched like 2ip for 0er.
what other move should have been made? bringing in a 110 pitch Z to pitch for farns...who was one of the team's best pen men?
Re: Closure For Billy Buck?
It's what Hank Aaron would have done.
Re: Closure For Billy Buck?
since i think dempster is gonna win 15 games this year
here is my prediction 6.1 innings 3 earned runs i see
a 5 to 4 game .
hopefully my prediction is a little closer than the
ted lilly fan club

I thought the same. It'd be great luck to face these non-contenders after the trade deadline.

FOX Sports @MLBONFOX
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.
I hope the D and bullpen show up. Cubs haven't had much luck against Davies, and he's been going well lately. A little uncomfortable with the Cards only 6.5 back--feels like they're right on our tails compared to the 11 game lead I've grown accustomed to.
Cardinals, stop that. Right now.
In a year or two, a lot of fans are going to point at trading him as a mistake. He'll probably be slashing something like 280/400/480 for Seattle at the time. Of course, by WAR, he'll still be worth less than 3, since we're talking zero defensive value.
vogelbomb debut for tacoma (AAA SEA)... 3-3, 1bb, 1 HR, 1 double...DH'd.
while he mostly played 1st considerably more than DH for AAA CHC, DJ Peterson is probably going to see most of the time at 1st for AAA SEA.

Appetite Like A Horse? Try This Early Bird Special!
Photo: Courtesy of Michael Jordan's Steakhouse
Be it a special celebration (one-month anniversaries included), or an occasional dietary diversion, nothing beats a full-blown steakhouse dinner experience. But while we aren't about to part with that nice glass of Cab to wash it all down, we could do without the hefty price tag often associated with such a feast — and we're thinking you could, too.
Lucky for all of us, Michael Jordan's Steak House on the Mag Mile is now offering a three-course prix-fixe menu for $49.95 per person. Choose from one of two options per course (starter, main, dessert) to curate your perfect meal. Our picks? A Caesar salad with olive-oil croutons and Sarvecchio cheese; petite filet mignon with crispy potatoes, pickled onions, and chimichurri; and bittersweet chocolate pudding to take us to that slightly uncomfortable, but oh-so-satisfied level.
Now that you're salivating like Pavlov's dog, there's something you must know: This deal is only available between 5 and 6:30 p.m. So, make like the early bird and go get that delicious worm.

No More 'Bigfoot Love Slave' on Magazine Racks
Supermarket checkout lines will soon be more drab. The Weekly World News announced that it will cease paper publication, and will only be available on the Internet. Scott Simon laments the end of an era.
(Soundbite of music)
Unidentified Man: "Man Grows World's Longest Nose Hair," "Dead Puppy's Ghost Breaks Wind and Burst," "I was Bigfoot's Love Slave."
SCOTT SIMON, host:
Supermarket checkout lines will soon be more drab. The Weekly World News announced that it will cease paper publication and will only be available on the Internet. Several times a year, I bought a copy when some headlines proved they're irresistible.
Unidentified Man: "Aging Space Alien Applies to Social Security," "Donald Rumsfeld Sleeps with GI Joe Dolls," "Castro Smuggling Big Macs into Cuba for Himself."
SIMON: WWN is the supermarket tabloid that didn't feast on the misfortunes of Lindsay, Paris, Brad, and Jen, but ran stories that practically winked from the check-out rack.
Unidentified Man: "Bat Child Found In Cave," "Saddam and Osama Caught(ph) in Torrid Love Affair."
SIMON: Papers said that they danced slowly and tenderly to "Wind Beneath My Wings." Weekly World News isn't satire like The Onion or even Saturday Night Live; it's comedy. The Onion makes me laugh, but it reads like it's written by Harvard Crimson kids holding down jobs until they sell their first screenplay. WWN reads like it's put out by people who aren't mocking the world, but looking to make a little laughter out of it.
Years ago, they headlined that 12 senators are space aliens, several senators happily confirmed the story, including John Glen who admitted, his space flight was a desperate attempt to get home. Of course, the stories are ridiculous but in the best way, preposterous and laughable.
Unidentified Man: "Pope Wants Mel Gibson As Successor," "Twenty-two-pound Horse-fly Captured," "Man Collects 119 Lbs. of Lint from Bellybutton."
SIMON: Adults and children, both know that there really is no monster in that closet. But now and then, we just enjoy the game.

Don't expect rooms like you find at a Hilton or Marriott. The holiday lodge rooms have seen better days, but they are still decent. Powerful showers and comfortable beds. A/C was a little loud but ran constantly so I slept well. Hallways smelled a little stale, but the rooms were fine. The racquet ball court was being used as storage while they do renovations, so we didn't get to use that. The bar was a little rough. Not a place to quietly hang out for a drink like you find in a hilton, but a quick stop for a drink to take back to the room is fine. It's more of a local bar hang out. Best of all was the staff. They were beyond accommodating. We had accidentally made reservations for a smoking room and they did everything they could to switch us around even while being booked solid. We also had to make a couple last minute changes and cancellations and they didn't charge us. Similar cases have happened with holiday inns and we were charged. I would definitely stay here again while doing activities at the new river. It's close proximity and great staff make it a decent choice.

Now that you have only good, clean makeup in front of you, it's time to pull out what you use every day. If you have a gorgeous, glitterly eye shadow that's just for special occasions, we're not saying to throw it away. Rather, grab a small tray or bowl and place those lesser used items in a different space. When you are done, you should have very basic items left to be placed in your bag: foundation, concealer, blush/bronzer, powder, eyeliner, primer/mascara, two eye shadows, lipstick/lipgloss, and any makeup brushes that go with the aforementioned items.

New Star Trek video game doesn't seem to be typical movie game

Gabriel Knight creator needs help setting up new gaming studio
One of my all-time favorite PC games would have to be the Gabriel Knight series from Sierra On-line. Remember those games from the 1990's? They were about an author and New Orleans bookshop owner who investigated the weird and unexplained. The games featured stories about voodoo and werewolves and even tackled topics from The DaVinci Code before that book was ever written.
Arrested Development on Netflix: All the details!
Who isn't excited about all-new Arrested Development on Netflix? I cannot wait to get back to visiting with the Bluths. And Netflix is making it easy on us, too. It was announced at a recent press event that we can expect the all 10 new episodes in 2013.
Christopher Nolan agrees with me: 3D sucks
I've posted my share of movie reviews, as well as studies about 3D, so I think it's fairly obvious that I don't particularly care for it. Unfortunately, most of Hollywood still insists on ruining films with it. But Christopher Nolan, director of The Dark Knight films, has basically come out saying that he thinks it sucks.

One of my close friends who lives in Austin told me about this place. They said that if I ever came to visit San Antonio, I must eat at Kohinoor Restaurant. I went to this restaurant with very high hopes. Surprisingly, I underestimated this restaurant even with the high hopes. It's a casual restaurant, we have to order over the counter, but they bring the food to your table. It's a lot like every other pakistani restaurant in Houston in service and appearance. However, when the food arrives at table, you can see the freshness and quality in the food. The taste is straight from heaven. It's run by a family. So, they give individual attention to each table. It feels a lot like home, comfortable. I would recommend this place for those who are interested in eating fresh, tasty, and all around great food. But, if you're expecting a waitress who's going to open the door for you and usher you to a table then you should be going to 5-star fine dining restaurant; which is obvious from the moment you walk in that this is not that type of deal.

I go to TOMMYS about 3-5 times a week. I don't cook much. This little restaurant on Wurzbach has caught my attention for about a year. The food is great and the service has changed and everyone is so CHEERful. If you go in sit on the right side (near the front) of the restaurant the waitress that takes care of those tables is just GREAT! The food reminds me of home-cooked meals from my mom and grandma. Great Portions, Little Price.
Imagine the smell of fresh garlic, mozzarella and pepperoni. These are just a few of the aromas that surround you when you walk into Capparelli's. The welcoming smile and a friendly hello greets you at the door. The service is superb, the food delizioso, and the atmosphere is right out of Calabria.

Wow! I just got an email from SportEvents.com with a list of professional football championship packages you can buy. Yes, I know it's wishful thinking, but then again, the Saints winning it all in 2010 was just a dream at one time, too...
. The Baltimore Ravens, winners of last month's Super Bowl XLVII are apparently very appreciative of the welcome they received in the City that Care Forgot.
With all the sports hype on television on Super Bowl Sunday, I thought I'd share something you may have missed. Two of the best features I saw on Louisiana were on the CBS Sunday Morning program...
Facebook funnies were flying last night after the lights went out in the Superdome! I have some really clever facebook friends- take a look at what some of them posted!
Joe Flacco threw three touchdown passes, and the Baltimore Ravens withstood a stadium power outage and a furious 49ers' rally to beat San Francisco, 34-31, at Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans on Sunday night.
A power outage in the Superdome during the biggest televised event of the year... Was it a last ditch effort by the 49ers? Was it all part of New Orleans Saints Owner Tom Benson's plan to get a new venue for his team? Was it ol' Marie Laveau getting her revenge on NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell? We may never know, but we can laugh about it, courtesy of the jokers on Facebook.
Performing the national anthem at the Super Bowl or any sporting event is always a nerve-wracking task, since pop stars tend to flub the lines with regularity. Maybe it's nerves. Maybe it's the pressure and being on such a national stage. Who knows. But it happens... a lot. Alicia Keys performed 'The Star-Spangled Banner' at Super Bowl XLVII tonight (Feb. 3), seated at a white piano in the middle of the field. We're proud to report that it was flawless, both lyrically and melodically.
Everyone likes a Super Bowl party, but not everyone like all the people who show up there.
It's countdown to touchdown y'all, and Beyonce is working it.
The Queen Bey shared a 42-second clip of her rehearsals for the big game. It's nearly a minute of bootyliciousness set to her '4' track 'Countdown.'

PHILLYCLOUT hears that two of Gov. Rendell's favorite people are up for big-time policy jobs in New York and Washington, though neither was interested in talking about it.

We hear that Torsella, who briefly ran for the U.S. Senate last year, is up for a high-level job at the United Nations, in New York City.

I am considering buying a rollable, portable solar charger for my Z10. Would such a product with these specs,Max Power: 4.8 Watts, 300 mA (model f15-300) produce enough power to safely charge my device?
Solved! Go to Solution.
300 mA is not nearly enough for a modern smartphone. You'll need at least 850 mA. Better to invest in a battery pack that can recharge your phone a few times.
Thanks for the advice.
may i add some thoughts to this topic...i am working since a couple of years on solar chargers for mobile phones.
we do have a solution for this...our solar panel is foldable, keeps constant in performance under "hot" conditions (which most of the products in the market don´t do...your 300 mA are probably only available at 25 degree celcius...in the sun you get easily surface temp of over 60 degree celcius and your current will drop to 150 mA or even less)...I use Q10...it can be charged with 500 mA (standard USB power) but not below 450 mA...for Z10 i cannot tell, because we did not test so far...best way is to use a solar panel and a seperate powerbank (no integrated designs!) which is dedicated to be charged by solar power...then you can charge your phone from this powerbank...it works very stable and you avoid keeping your phone in the sun...temp is too high! Smartphones will interrupt charging function at temp above 40 to 45 degree celcius...which means Smartphone must be in the shadow! We offer direct charging function as well, but recommend this only when sun is stable and temperature is low (or cold wind) I do not want to make advertising for my product here...but it really works...:-) but the solar cells we use and the powerbank technology has its price...solar power is great but so far expansive if done in a good way and not as a product which just just wants to catch the "green marketing trend"... since 3 weeks i have charged my phone ONLY by solar power...we have a south sided window at our office and i charge every day my powerbank and at evening i charge my Q10 from there. So finally...it may work! ;-) Outdoor i do have my solar bag...and collect the energy to safe inside the powerbank. But the solar panel can also be mounted on backpacks...and has better usability...and is cheaper! ;-)
maybe i could keep your interest for solar power solutions...create energy...it makes fun...and probably provides a bit more liberty when using our daily electronic gadgets...and it is renewable energy!
best wishes from Vienna, Rafael
Hi...we use the "middleman" battery...we call it "powerbank"...which is a rechargeable battery. can be charged and discharged at same time and delivers up to 1A constant current and voltage of 5V. capacity can be up to 10 000mAh but we recommmend 3000 mAh...it works faster and can charge a smartphone at least one time and a tabelt PC approx 20 to 30% .
Best wishes, R.

Life Partners (LPHI -5.8%), which helps terminally ill patients sell their life insurance policies to investors, is full of red flags, Citron Research says. Problems include unsustainable egregious fees; past indiscretions by management; and a questionable auditor.

" St. Andrew's Church (Sw. Andrzej)" Top 5 Page for this destination St Andrew's Church Tip by gosiaPL
St Andrew's Church, Krakow: 20 reviews and 30 photos
This church goes back to the 1080's but was then enlarged and hightened around 1200. It is considered to be one of the finest examples of Polish romanesque style, despite the fact that the interior was refurbished in the baroque era.
An interesting fact is that, according to one of the greatest Polish chronicle writers, Jan Dlugosz, the church was the only one to withstand the Tatar siege in 1241 :-)
This church stands next to St. Peter & Paul's church, the one with the lovely baroque facade (see previous tip). I must say I am rather taken by the architectural contrast of the two!
Address: 56 Grodzka St.
Directions: Exit the Market Square into Grodzka St. and follow towards the Wawel Castle. You'll see it on your left next to St. Peter & Paul's Church.

Skip to comments.GOP operatives crash the tea party
Posted on 04/15/2010 6:24:41 AM PDT by Brookhaven
Just days after the first widespread tea party demonstrators hit the streets a year ago Thursday, Joe Wierzbicki, a Republican political consultant with the Sacramento firm Russo Marsh + Rogers, made a proposal to his colleagues that he said could give a boost to our PAC and position us as a growing force/leading force as the 2010 elections come into focus.
The proposal, obtained by POLITICO, was for a nationwide tea party bus tour, to be called the Tea Party Express, which over the past seven months has become among the most identifiable brands of the tea party movement. Buses emblazoned with the Tea Party Express logo have brought speakers and entertainers to rallies in dozens of small towns and big cities, including one in Boston on Wednesday that will feature former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.
(Excerpt) Read more at politico.com ...
The left is trying to cause dissention within the Tea Party movement, so they are going to jump on everything they can find and spin it to their benefit. I have no problem with someone involed in the Tea Party movement making money. Even the Bible says "the laborer deserves his wages." It takes at least some full time staff to run any organization.
The other big criticism in this story is that the Tea Party Express actually had a plan. That's a bad thing?
On the other hand, we need to be vigilant. There is no doubt there are people that would love to co-opt the Tea Party movement for their own purposes. And I'm not just talking about the GOP. There are also plenty of 3rd parties and movements built around a single person (Ron Paul supporters, for example) that are trying to co-opt the Tea Party movement for their own purposes.
What is there to discuss. Telling people that have organizing skills and understand the political landscape to take a hike.
As long as they have shared values and goals ofcourse they should be welcomed.
You never turn away talent.
The only way to defuse this tripe is to attack liberal GOPers just as vigorously as we attack the Socialist Democrats.
I saw this was the lead story on Olberman last night. He is pushing it as some evil plot.
I occasionally flip to Olberman bacause (1) I have an uncle that watches MSNBC religiously, and gets no news from anywhere else; and (2) I feel like I need to know what the spin comming from the hard left is.
Nothing ever written in Politico is reliable. They have no credibility as they are a wholly owned entity of the far far left.
" Before its tea party days, however,
the PAC aired ads praising Palin,
both during and after her unsuccessful GOP vice presidential campaign,
for serving the people of America with a servants heart,
standing up to the liberal media and teaching her son
about the honor and valor of serving in our nations armed forces.
Politicio (sic) is proRINO proROMNEY anti Gov.Palin.
I agree with you, but the left is pushing this story as though it is some evil plot. Not everyone is that politically astute. We need to counter the idea the left is putting out that there isn't anyplace in the Tea Party movement for professionals.
You saw this same type of story popping up with that Tea Party convention that happened in Nashville. The press was critical of the organizers because (gasp) they were charging admission and might actually (gasp) end up making a slight profit.
Is that the way it happened?
Politico prints nothing that isn't directly from the WH fax machine.
on fox and friends today they had a story about the counter tea party where the rats plan to join the tea party but then make stupid signs with misspelled words and to cause fights and shout racial slurs at people.
So they are trying to devalue the tea party brand from within. It's an all out attack from the liberal power base from each party.
True words!
Sad to say, you are right on about the "Obama" communications organ known as "Politico". "Politico" founders, Jim Vandehei and Mike Allen are nothing but major spinners for Barack Hussein Obama and the Democrat Party. Those two gentlemen would not know political objectivity and fairness if it struck them in the face.
When I attended the Tea Party Express event in Jackson, Michigan last summer, I wondered how they could afford the big, plush, custom-painted buses. Who was bankrolling them?
The bottom line, though, is I showed up. Nobody paid me, nobody offered me kickbacks, bribes or freebies to be there. I did the research for the event myself using my own time and computer. I wasn't given a sign paid for by a group or union, and I even bought a "NOBAMA" button from an enterprising young man selling them.
These events are dependent on people SHOWING UP. The only buses I saw were the two belonging to the Tea Party Express, and I'm sure nobody was "organized" with promises of a day off work if they went.
So the argument is that we shouldn't link up with and use the talents of people who are good at organization?
I don't think I'm buying that.
>>You saw this same type of story popping up with that Tea Party convention that happened in Nashville. The press was critical of the organizers because (gasp) they were charging admission and might actually (gasp) end up making a slight profit.
And as someone who was there, I can say this was discussed at length among many of the attendees. No one I talked to had a problem with it, and people generally thought that the pricing was reasonable. And these are people who had typically been to similar events for professional society conventions, continuing education and the like.
You don't like the price of admission? Don't go! How hard is that?
Sometimes, when they attack like this, the correct answer is, "So what?" or, "What's wrong with that?" instead of people getting defensive.
Actually, a lot of the criticism of the Nashville event came from the leadership of many local tea party leaders who were leery of an outside group canniblizing the tea party name. Turned out that those concerns were mostly unfounded but the profit issue does undermine the grassroots format somewhat.
It's hard to present yourself as a non-profit group that welcomes all when somebody else presents their self as part of your movement, and seeks to turn a profit while doing so.
I am a really, really thrifty person but if someone is offering something for money that I find beneficial, I will pay for it and if that someone makes a profit, good for them.
If a Tea Partier was selling hot dogs and soda during a rally and I was hungry, I'd buy them and hope they were making money. At least I'd know that the money was going to someone who supports Capitalism.
I saw this was the lead story on Olberman last night. He is pushing it as some evil plot.
Yes, the Left is QUITE creative when it comes to their little Conspiracies, like:
The GOP intends to crash Conservative Tea Party Rallies in order to place blame the Democrats, while also preserving the GOP leadership's own RINO power-base
Global Warming
Dick Cheney's "heart attacks" are actually long-term lung injuries he received while SCUBA training to blow up the dams in New Orleans
Halliburton's hurricane machine (Katrina)
9/11 Truthers
Soros' 2010 October Surprise will be to have Obama pull a copy of an original Birth Certificate out of his back pocket, proving he's been TRUTHFUL the WHOLE time, just to embarrass Conservatives and thereby win the 2010 election (yes, this is really on some Left-wing websites AND was also "threatened" against the Hillary campaign in 2008)
I don't see a problem here. The Tea Party Express (TPE) is what it is. Go to one of their rallies or else don't. Give them a buck or else don't. What's the beef?
Organizing and operating the TPE costs money and requires talent and man-hours. There is nothing wrong with skilled, working people getting paid.
If others think they have ideas that will help our country better than the TPE then let them go for it. The people can decide who to support with their donations.
This article seems to say that the relationship between the TPE PAC and the consulting firm that organized it is normal and that the money spent is typical for this type of operation. What's the beef?
The Pravda Media lies. Lies by omission are lies as well.
They can type of their talking points to cause suspicion but they can't diffuse the spirit.
Much ado about nothing, imho. And by the way, I saw Debbie Dooley of TPP on CBS, and she came across as a nutcase. Someone tell her to take her meds.
As long as the participants main goal is to vote out socialists, why care who crashes? The more the merrier!
If you see one guy jaywalking, and another mugging an 85-year-old lady, do you attack them both just as vigorously?
Who cares what the Left says about the Tea Parties? Ignore them. The only power they have is if you take them seriously, which I don't. I haven't heard an honest criticism of the Tea Party movement from the Left yet - and I won't.
We can do both - cleaning out the GOP of its elitists while realizing the ultimate goal is cleaning out the entire government.
Pretty simple strategy, actually,
campaign and vote against the RINO in the primary
and against the 'rat in the general.
Thank heavens someone knew what to do and acted!
I can agree with that. It makes me sick to see that the largest earmarker in the Senate is Thad Cochran, (R) MS. RINOs are making it pretty difficult to revive the majorities we had and blew.
51% of Tea Party Supporters are Democrats and Independents. - Gallup.
The jaywalker is REPUBLICAN! GET HIM!!!!!
The mugger is Democrat. The old biddy had it comin', man.
"campaign and vote against the RINO in the primary
and against the rat in the general."
This can't be repeated often enough.
when they attack like this, the correct answer is, So what? or, Whats wrong with that? instead of people getting defensive.
Precisely. All they know how to do is "fight." So they attack. In every way they can possibly think of. If one of their attacks doesn't brush us back, another one will.
We have to STOP trying to appease them, and start standing our ground, and pushing forward.
Joe Wierzbicki (of the Tea Party Express) is a long time FReeper as are many other Tea Party members. FReepers were tea partiers long before the Tea Party movement was formed.
That's correct. The Democrat mugger is simply redistributing the wealth to himself. I'm sure the rock of crack he buys has a larger profit potential than the cans of dog food she was going to go buy for dinner....
Here's Joe's response to this article:
I've got some very big news to share with you that up until now has been a secret.
Today, Ken Vogel, a reporter for Politico.com broke a fairly big scoop. He managed to obtain a copy of what had been a very secret strategic planning memo I had written in my capacity as Coordinator of the Tea Party Express exactly one year ago.
And so now since the word is out, we wanted to share this strategy memo with you, our supporters. We are very excited to finally be able to share with you the behind-the-scenes strategic thinking that was behind the incredible success of the Tea Party Express.
You see the Tea Party Express wasn't an accident. It was a carefully considered and well-planned project that was designed to enage local tea party groups all across the country to join together to make a difference and help take our country back - while still allowing those local groups to retain their independence and autonomy. And it's been a phenomenal success that has infuriated the Left and many within the media as well.
Keep reading for more details below, but if you simply can't wait, you can read what had been the secret memo for yourself - HERE.
As you'll note when you read the memo, the plan was to find a way to engage in political action to defeat the worst of the tax-spend-bailout Democrats and RINO Republicans in Congress.
And for the past year, YOU - our supporters, have helped us to implement this plan. We have achieved a success far beyond our wildest dreams, and I know from reading your emails and talking to you at the 100+ tea party rallies we've held across this nation how excited you are about all that we have achieved.
We spent over $350,000 to help elect Scott Brown - and employed a national TV advertising campaign when the local advertising inventory sold out, so we could reach voters in the state via a medium that the Democrats had failed to think of using.
We helped to force the retirement of sellout Congressman Bart Stupak, after launching a $250,000 "Defeat Bart Stupak" TV and radio advertising blitz and series of 5 Tea Party Express rallies throughout his rural Michigan district.
We stood up for Doug Hoffman (the Conservative Party candidate) over the RINO Republican, Dede Scozzafava in Upstate New York. We almost beat the establishment of BOTH the Democrat and Republican parties. You see, we here at the Tea Party Express stand for conservatism, and sadly the Republican Party at times needs to be reminded to adhere to its conservative principles.
And, perhaps most notably, we've spent over $500,000 to "Defeat Harry Reid" - more than any other group - and watched as Reid's poll numbers have plunged along the way. You saw the impact we had at the start of this tour when we brought out 20,000 people to the middle of the desert for the "Showdown in Searchlight."
We don't just TALK about doing things, with your help we've taken real ACTION. And we did so without being a part of the political establishment.
So, please, take a few moments and read this memo, now that it's out in the public domain. We've already been putting together new strategies reflective of the current political environment we face, and you are going to be very excited about what we have in store from this point until November 2010 congressional elections!
FIRST: Read the once-secret memo - HERE.
SECOND: After you've done so, please support our efforts to achieve even greater success. Please make a contribution to the Tea Party Express - HERE.
Hear, hear! I've been a tea partier since April, 1998!
There are plenty of political virgins in the TPM. We can not allow them to be hoodwinked by the Dum Washington Propaganda machine.
Onward and upward.
It is pushed hard by the left because it is written by the left.
Tancredo turned Team America PAC over to the Buchannans, and Chris Simcox aligned with Alan Keyes.
First of all, simply saying "the GOP is trying to take over the Tea Parties" is disingenuous. Based on the numbers I saw the other day in some thread here on FR, something like half of registered Republicans consider themselves Tea Partiers, compared to a quarter of Independents and 9% of Democrats. Like it or not, the Tea Parties are a Republican gig, by and large. We definitely should not be turning away conservative Republican politicians and operatives who want to get on board and help push the principles espoused in this conservative activism.
Perhaps you should re-read my post and then (this time) apply some thought.
I haven't been online except for at the poofter hotel commuters for several days so am missing much email info
Thanks for the ping dirtboy
More later, end of tour dinner in a couple of hours.
At that same restaurant as last time Jim
Ooops. Boy, do I feel like a dope.

Who's Up for $50 Light Bulbs?
**Written by Doug Powers
A provision in the energy law signed by President Bush in 2007 mandates all light bulbs to be 70 percent more efficient in their use of electricity by the year 2020 (a bill mandating that government be 70 percent more efficient in their use of taxpayer dollars is nowhere in sight).
But don't worry, if you like lots of light, the 100-watt eco-friendly bulbs will be affordable — provided you're rich:
Two leading makers of lighting products are showcasing LED bulbs that are bright enough to replace energy-guzzling 100-watt light bulbs set to disappear from stores in January.
Their demonstrations at the LightFair trade show in Philadelphia this week mean that brighter LED bulbs will likely go on sale next year, but after a government ban takes effect.
The new bulbs will also be expensive — about $50 each — so the development may not prevent consumers from hoarding traditional bulbs.
An underground economy for incandescent light bulbs is born.
I'm beyond perplexed by government officials and assorted Gorebots who lose sleep over how much earth-destroying electricity my incandescent bulbs devour and then try to convince me to help save the planet by purchasing a car I have to plug in. They know that electricity is generated from the same source… don't they?
Coming soon, the sale or importation of old school light bulbs will be illegal, which means that the following conversation may soon take place in a federal prison cell somewhere in the United States:
"What'cha in for?"
"Bank robbery. You?"
"Incandescent light bulb."
Update: It's been suggested that Washington might provide a few light bulb law waivers — if the price is right.

On the eve of Iran's presidential election, the Islamic state shut off the text messaging services of all cell phones, and as I am writing this it is still impossible to text someone in Iran. Also, state-imposed "parasite" signals have been reported to be interfering with satellite TV channels particularly BBC Persian and VOA Farsi. The Iranian regime apparently has turned the country into a huge closed military zone. This odd situation is a good example of the Iranian style of democracy. Despite all the shortcomings though, today is a big day for democracy in Iran. The country is seeing record numbers of people stand in lines for hours to cast their vote for president. Here I report my personal account of this historical day:
Today I went to a mosque to cast my vote. The pile of shoes at the entrance indicated a large crowd inside (Muslims are not supposed to enter holy places with their shoes on). Amidst the rising heat, rotating ceiling fans wreaked havoc with the hems of the black chadors of the women standing in one line, alongside which men with visibly damp armpits formed a separate queue. Every now and then a surge of murmurs swept the interior of the mosque and then subsided.
"Would someone please open the window?"
A voice from the women's line piped up. A young man struggled with the handle of the rusty window and opened it. He was Amin, a friend. He noticed me in the crowd.
"How are you doing?" He asked.
"Cut the formalities! Who are you going to vote for?" I asked abruptly.
"Rezaii. He was the head of the Revolutionary Guards for so many years. He knows how to get us out of this mess."
Amin referred to the pragmatic-conservative candidate Mohsen Rezaii who is widely believed to have entered the race in order to cut back on Ahmadinejad's conservative votes. He owns the news website Tabnak. Its predecessor, Baztab, was closed down by Ahmadinejad's government for revealing 'undesirable' information.
"Do you think he can actually win?" I replied.
Here a man standing behind us interjected: "Of course not. But he's the best one among them all. All candidates proved filthy liars and corrupt in the debates."
The man seemed to have a very critical view of the debates. He probably had taken every candidate at his word and thus had come to this cynical conclusion. Of course he was not the only one who felt disillusioned with the Islamic system. For 30 years the Islamic Republic via its state-run TV has tried to instill the illusion of a perfect harmony among its loyal politicians. Khamenei, our Supreme Leader once said:
"We don't have good or bad choices in the Islamic state. These are for Western democracies. Here, all candidates have been approved. They all deserve being elected. The decision Iranians have to make is to choose the best among the good."
The televised vitriolic debates, however, gave a far different impression. In a short span of time the debaters crossed a slew of conventional redlines. Ahmadinejad accused powerful clerics - pillars of the Islamic Revolution, one could say - and their sons of being financially corrupt. Other candidates explicitly called Ahmadinejad a liar and a populist playing with figures and statistics.
Not surprisingly, many Iranians were shocked. My aunt, a teacher, turned red and almost cried in one of these debates. She could never imagine that there could be corrupt politicians in the Islamic Republic.
In the debates, Rezaii was the only candidate who tried not to get on Ahmadinejad's worst side. Faced with Ahmadinejad's financial graphs and histograms, he restrained himself from declaring Ahmadinejad an all-out liar. But even he was not spared from the incumbent president's attacks. Throughout the debate, Ahmadinejad addressed him condescendingly, forcing Rezaii to exclaim at the end that Ahmadinejad's main problem was that he assumed he was an expert in every field.
Ahmadinejad's unpleasant demeanor seems to have repelled many Iranians. My parents, while pro-Ahmadinejad, have said frequently that they would have voted for Rezaii in other circumstances. Many Iranians call Ahmadinejad a liar. An ad for Moussavi, Ahmadinejad's main challenger, reads: "On Friday, Pinocchio will be punished." It doesn't bode well for the Islamic state, which enforces strict moral laws on its subjects, that its head of government should be epitomized with mendacity.
The debates were but one of the unique aspects of this presidential election. There have never been so many text messages, blogs, and websites commenting on an election. Nor has there ever been such popular passion. At night, the honking of car horns in political solidarity has become a cacophony!
As I left the mosque after voting and searched for my sandals amidst the pile of shoes, I tried to send a text-message to a friend. It went nowhere. I had forgotten that the Islamic state had disabled the text-messaging services. I had forgotten that Iran has a far way to go before becoming a true democracy.
