Today is my fourth anniversary on 1up. I can't believe it's
been that long since I signed up. 1up was a relatively new place
back then. A couple months before I joined, 1up made the jump
from a regular gaming site to a gaming / social networking site.
Some of you may remember the name "1UP 2.0." It was a
time when there were many active people in the community. There
were a number of clubs that were active for more than a couple
months. Instead of the blog tools we have today, we had to use
HTML if we wanted our posts to look fancy. I had to learn HTML,
whether I liked it or not. One thing that never really changed
was 1up being a pain to load on slow computers. Actually, it's
not as bad as it was four years ago.
The first gaming website I ever signed up for was GameFAQs, before Gamespot bought it. That was in August 2004. I hanged out on the forums for some time and contributed credits to a number of games, including Aliens and Bad Dudes vs. Dragon Ninja. It wasn't long before I got tired of the forums and wanted to find a better place to hang out. This is where 1up came in.
Before 1up, there was the old Gamers.com. It's still active today, but it was a different place five to six years ago. I heard about Gamers.com through Electronic Gaming Monthly and I would go there on a regular basis. In 2003, the old Gamers.com became 1up.com, which was a really good move. The following year, 1up went through an upgrade and became the website we all know and love today. I couldn't have asked for a better place, especially when compared to GameFAQs. On November 2, 2004, I joined 1up.
Reading my blogs from the 2004 to 2006 makes me appreciate how far my writing has come. Seriously, take a look if you are interested. My grammar was awful, I had no clue what I was talking about most of the time, and it looked like I wrote most of my blogs for myself. You probably wouldn't understand most of my blogs from 2005 unless you know me personally. Feel free to tell me otherwise, though.
My writing started to improve by 2006. My blogs were actually interesting for once and I was active in a number of clubs. Just when things started to look good, I decided to leave 1up halfway through the year for two reasons. The first reason had to do with a promise I made about posting a story here. I failed to follow up on it and it got to the point where kept myself from writing another blog for the longest time. It sounds ridiculous, but that's how I felt. The second reason was a number of personal issues that came up. I had a falling out with my dad later that year. I won't go into details, but I haven't spoken to him since then. I also became really busy with homework. 1up no longer seemed that important to me.
Fast forward to February 2008. Just when I was ready to post a blog about how I was going to move onto better things, I realized how much I missed 1up. After being gone for almost two years, I made my comeback. One could say I had really bad timing, because 1up went through the dreaded server change a couple days later. All of the sudden, 1up became broken. Pages wouldn't load. Html tags didn't work. People got logged out randomly. Friend lists became mysteriously shorter. It got to the point where I moved my blog to Blogger, which lasted three days before I gave up and returned to 1up.
My turning point came when I finished "The Yu-Gi-Oh Brawl" and posted it on 1up after two years. My writing got a lot better afterwards and I started reading other people's blogs. I made a lot of new friends and got involved in the Anime and RPG Tournament League.
Thanks to AlucardsFate and GlassAdam, I discovered Foxkei. It's the best forum I've ever been on and I've met awesome people like Unit-Foxhound, Heiae, Red_Wizard, SnakeEyez, berkinG, and ilovepsm. If I'm not on 1up, chances are I'm on Foxkei. You're more than welcome to join us.
Thank you to 1up for being an awesome place. I'm going to dedicate my next blog to all the friends I've made here. Stay tuned!

wowPosted: Nov 03, 2008 12:00AM PST by Jenova
congrats man. 4 years is quite the long time in internet years. I think I joined two years ago but didn't really blog and get into the community until a few months ago.
Looking back at all the old blogs must be pretty interesting to observe one's evolution in their writing style. I realize my blogs get lazier and lazier by the day...so I haven't improved at all, lol.
Anyway, 1up is a great community not like some of the other fanboi filled gaming forums out there.
4 Years. Cool.Posted: Nov 03, 2008 12:00AM PST by trafar94
I wish I found this place when it first started. I would be more popular! Well, not more popular since I'm not popular on 1up.com now. But I'd be popular . . . Maybe. I don't know. It's kinds funny to read how you came back just as 1up was making changes to its format! Talk about bad timing! Anywho, it's kinds hard to leave 1up.com. I've tried blogging on other sites, but none of them compare to 1up.com. It's my home! Anywho, congrats!
Hehe wow.Posted: Nov 03, 2008 12:00AM PST by State_Alchamist
4 years,I think I've been here since sometime in '05.So I think I've been here almost three years and yeah 1up is awesome!:D And sorry to hear that about your dad..hope things will get better somday.
hehe the upcoming blog sounds neat,look farward to it and I think I know how my old blogs from the past might have been like...But yeah I have thought about doing a similar blog like this dunno when though,most of my blogs aren't pre-planned I usually just sit fro a while and think of stuff to put and write in the blogs heh. But how I found out about 1up was actually by just watching my brother being on the comp for a while and I eventually went and looked what he was up to and saw what was at the time 1up's site layout and had him help me make an account.
Looking back I never once felt like leaving,I am very happy I did join and to have met people like you Devon,it's so fun to talk to you guys.:D Oh and the random logging out thing kinda happens to me too cause there will be times while I am about to post a comment and I have to go do something real quick and then I come back and try to post it only to be sent to a page that redirects me to the log in page and I had been logged out for an unknown reason.:o
I found this pic while randomly searching photobucket,I thought it was funny hehe.
Jenova:Posted: Nov 03, 2008 12:00AM PST by egmmer
I've seen my share of trolls and annoying fanboys on 1up, but it's nowhere as bad as some of the other gaming forums where I used to hang out. Four years is a really long time on the internet. I was fifteen when I joined 1up. Wow, time sure flies.
Akimoto: I wasn't always popular on 1up. In fact, my breaking point came only earlier this year. My writing was leaps and bounds better than the stuff I wrote during the 2004-2006 years. My blogs were interesting for a change and I actually commented on other people's pages. It took some time, but it paid off. Don't worry about popularity. Just let it come to you.
I made a page on Blogger that lasted three days, which is still available. Feel free to check it out.
Cami: I really do hope things get better with my dad. It's going to take a long time, but if it never happens, I always have my stepdad. The way I look at it, things will work out for me regardless of what happens.
I know I should have done this in my blog, but I'll tell you the story of how I got my name. I was (and still am) a big fan of Electronic Gaming Monthly, so I wanted to sign up as "egmfan". Not suprisingly, it was already taken. I came up with some random word and ended up with "egmmer". If I had the choice, I would change my name to "WanderingMind." Oh well.
I'm so glad I met you. I love your pictures, as always, so keep them coming. We should play Brawl someday when I get the time. How are you doing?
capnsmak: You're welcome. It means a lot to me.
4 years...Posted: Nov 04, 2008 12:00AM PST by AlucardsFate
I passed four years awhile back...well I'm assuming so...I've been on this site for a LONG TIME. I don't know when my actual signup date was. The forums have one...but I recall signing up for the forums seperately from my normal page...so I dunno how right that date is. If Brian knows his date...mine may be around or just before that. He is my oldest friend around here. (With Ed running a close second...but I met Ed through Brian)
I didn't have to learn HTML...I already knew quite a bit...in fact, I probably have forgotten a lot of it. I knew more then than I do now.
But what HAS changed since then...I was logging on via an old Sony Vaio then. This one in fact!
Now I'm light years ahead of the game...on my amazing Sith Infiltrator PC of amazing powah! I haven't found any game or piece of software it can't run on high settings...not yet...
But either way...congrats! And you've found the Tournaments...now you can possibly see my legendary curse in action. I've been around since the very first one...and have 3 finalists that all lost...We have come to the conclusion that I am indeed cursed. (I even entered Vhorizon's tourney for the very first time just his last season...and the same thing happened...got to the finals...and lost)
I should refer to it as "Dracula's Curse"...it works with my avatar...
You'll do better the next round...learning how to pick characters is like 40% art - 60% luck. Sometimes you just run into the wrong person in round one.
Anyway...Happy 4th!
loadingPosted: Nov 04, 2008 12:00AM PST by crazycanadian
nice! I just hit that mark too, it feels crazy doesn't it? I can't speak for you but I have definitely changed a lot since I first joined. It's wild to look back on some of the first blogs and see how the writing has changed. looking forward to more years!
Alucard:Posted: Nov 04, 2008 12:00AM PST by egmmer
I didn't know anything about HTML when I first singed up. In fact, I learned HTML because of 1up. I find it hard to believe we've been using the new blog tools for only a couple months.
I used to log on here with one of the first generation iMacs. If you read my earlier blogs, you may hear me talk about PCs. I had a Gateway at my dad's house, so I used it whenever I stayed there. I later replaced my iMac at my mom's house with a hand-me-down PowerMac G4. I now have a three year old PowerBook. It can't run Call of Duty 2 or Spore, but at least I can play Cave Story.
I know...if only Syaoran didn't fight Hao in the first round *sniff*. Then again, I did point out Kluke's Extractus spell and turn the match against Quina last week.
Alice-in-Games: I'm glad you gave 1up a shot. I should get rid of my Myspace. Haven't used it in two years.
Conor: I remember you sending me a default friend invite just when I was ready to leave 1up for two years. I never got to read your stuff back then, but I can say that you have changed. I wish my writing was as good as yours when I was sixteen.
star_eye: I actually got around to doing the replies this time. Have fun reading my earlier blogs.
Looking back is yay!Posted: Nov 05, 2008 12:00AM PST by NosLived
Past blogs are always a good source for laughs, or in my case, a little heart break... but still laughs. I've been here since '05 myself. Congrats on 4 years! And I hope you hang around for loads more.
As for things with your dad. You have my hope and support, man. You're fortunate to have youe step dad. Mine isn't....um....well.... you get the idea.
True...Posted: Nov 05, 2008 12:00AM PST by egmmer
Some of my old blogs are really funny, even if they were poorly written. Lemme see...my favorite is the one where I argued why The Art of Final Fantasy IX was better than the actual strategy guide. Then there was the one time where I complained about my VCR back in 05. (I've since got a new TV. Thank god.)
Thank you for the support. It really helps me. You know, there was a time when I tried to speak to my dad after the falling out, but it didn't work out.
I see you took a break from 1up for two years. I'm glad you returned and here's to more years!
bargh! ! !Posted: Nov 05, 2008 12:00AM PST by BreakfastPills
I have to agree with both you and Cody. My blogs were a total joke as this was my first blog since the horrible days of LiveJournal and Blurty.
But yeah, I think I might be hitting four years soon. I can't really remember when I joined... is there any way to find out?
But yeah, it can take a while to crack into the 1up community and fully feel a part of it.
Heheh.Posted: Nov 05, 2008 12:00AM PST by State_Alchamist
Well it's good to know atleast things won't turn out too bad for you if things with you and your dad aren't ok,Haha that's cool and yeah I think that too but I'd change it to LuminousAtelier if I could but yeah I got came up with mine simply because I was watching FMA on CN at the time and thought "State Alchamist" sounded cool hahah and it was all I could think of that might not have been taken.
But The way I started to see it was I am already known as State_Alchamist so there's probably no need to have it any other way,hehe yup and thanks.:D Yeah that would be fun,I always find it funny to see peoples taunts since I've been on SSBB on wi-fi cause they usually have funny stuff on the custom phrase thingy.Heh I am doing good though life feels like it's speeding up somehow,I sometimes feel really busy and other times not,just hoping I can atleast be somewhat active on 1up when I start taking collage classes.
How about you,how have you been?:) This is a chibi Yusuke from Persona 4.
Cody:Posted: Nov 05, 2008 12:00AM PST by egmmer
Wow...your writing has really come a long way since then. We all have to start somewhere, though. :D
Aaron: Thank you for adding me on Facebook. I think you can find out when you joined 1up by looking at your message board profile.
Cami: I made some really random taunt messages in Brawl. If only I could play online right now...sigh.
I know how you feel about life speeding up and going by quickly. It only feels like yesterday when I started my first year in college. I've learned to enjoy life as much as I can and take the opportunity to do things before it's too late. Honestly, I've gotten so busy that I don't have the time to play a lot of video games. That should change with winter break, when I get my hands on Persona 4. I'm sure you'll find a way to stay active on 1up once you start taking college classes. Don't worry about it.
Nearly two years...Posted: Nov 05, 2008 12:00AM PST by rmsk8r05
In March but I was already posting art at Deviantart and Comicartfans before I decided to join 1up; I didn't really have much experience with the online persona stuff, I just jumped into it.
Congrats to you and all of us for wasting time here.lol
Congrats on 4 yearsPosted: Nov 06, 2008 12:00AM PST by smashbro
The 1UP community needs people like you. Anime characters. I dunno. Yeah, I too have noticed my writing has gotten better over the years, by blogging and commenting. Practice makes perfect, who knew? I'm too busy for 1UP nowadays too, but I try to keep up with my friends. Gotta max out my Hermit social link, if you know what I mean. You know damn well what I mean. Damn, we're a bunch of geeks. Getting Persona 4?
Holy crap!Posted: Nov 06, 2008 12:00AM PST by glassadam
Look at you, getting a comment from the BMOC himself, CapnSmak.
Thanks for the shout-out.
Speaking of the anime league, I gotta check that out, now that I'm back.
According to the boards, I signed up back in 2003. But I really didn't become active (at all) until 3 years later. I'm amazed I still remembered my password. Remember when there was all that ridiculous flash on the front page? Even to log in there was a thing up top that would expand so you could type in your username... I had dial-up, so I could never log in. It was a miracle I made it through the registration without a server time-out or whatever. So it wasn't until years later that I actually started using my account.
NostalgiaPosted: Nov 07, 2008 12:00AM PST by SnakeEyez
I celebrated my 4-year anniversary on 1up recently as well -- I joined on September 10th, 2004. The only reason I know the exact date is because I posted my first blog entry on the day I joined, so I can just go back and check the date if I ever forget it.
I originally learned about 1up through EGM; they printed a couple advertisements for the site and I figured I would check it out. As soon as I started my first year of college, that's when I joined and I've been here ever since. I used to be really active back when the site was still new, and I was even considered one of the best bloggers in the community for a long time. Then 1up started growing, I stopped updating my page as frequently, and I sort of faded into obscurity. That's okay, though -- I didn't expect my 15 minutes of fame to last forever. I still have plenty of fond memories of those days, and that's good enough for me.
And hey, even though I never update my blog page anymore, I still have Foxkei to discuss my daily happenings and hang out with my closest online buddies. Life is still good.
But enough about me! Congrats on reaching this milestone, my friend. Like Jenova said, four years is a long time to have a blog page.
One last thing: I probably don't say it nearly as often as I should, but I have to thank you for all your help in the Tournament League. I really do appreciate your continued participation and dedication.
Doesn't even feel like four yearsPosted: Nov 08, 2008 12:00AM PST by MajinLink
hard to believe this website is over five now. I kinda miss a lot of the people who quit during my time on 1up, but got many others after that too. Come to think of it, I think I'll be hitting my 4th annivesary in a few days
Ditto...Posted: Nov 10, 2008 12:00AM PST by bombtrak
...we must've started around the same time. I remember those early days and I'd see you here and there in clubs and such. Funny how time flies, but kind of amazing that some of us have stuck around one place for so long. It's certainly not due to the site itself (IMO) but the people who use it!
Yeah.Posted: Nov 10, 2008 12:00AM PST by State_Alchamist
Heh that would be cool,but yeah I've always enjoyed the small things in life though but when started getting a little more busy then I was used to I enjoyed them alot more. Hehe thanks and yeah I am excited about Persona 4 too I thought it was cool that a detective is a party memeber,I use her as my avatar currently but it seems in most of the pictures she is easly mistaken for a guy.
Though I kinda thought she was untill there was more info on the chararacter and more images I found that made it more obvous heh.

Fireflies are beneficial bugs. Not only are they one of the great wonders of nature, making our summer evenings more exciting, but they are also predators.
The larvae of most species are specialized predators. They live on slugs, snails, earthworms and many different kinds of destructive insect pests.
Firefly larvae hunt by following the trail of an earthworm, snail or slug. After locating their prey, they inject it with an anesthetic (a drug that causes loss of feeling) in order to stop their prey from running away. Then the firefly larvae can easily capture and eat their prey.
These wonderful insects are also helping humans. Researchers have discovered that the luciferase produced by fireflies is useful for anything from detecting blood clots to tracking the efficacy of cancer medications.
In fact, scientists have learned how to make synthetic luciferase, which means that the medical industry no longer needs to harvest this bioluminescent chemical from fireflies.
Fireflies also fascinate biologists for a simple reason — their flashes illuminate not only the evening, but how signals play a role in evolution. In the first place, how could something like a glowing rear end, which offers a target for predators, ever evolve?
Well, the flashes are an example of signals to predators, also seen in brightly-colored butterflies, that something tastes bad or is toxic. And fireflies are loaded with toxins, such as lucibufagins. So don't eat them because they won't taste good.

"Marvelous."—Scientific American
"Arthur Goldwag is a shrewd, fair minded, learned and entertaining tour guide through a world that's simultaneously funny and frightening. Not a page goes by without some "I-didn't-know-that!" nugget. Given what's going on this ever-more-paranoid society, a book like this becomes not only titillating but crucially important."—Steven Waldman, Editor-in-Chief and co-founder of Beliefnet.com
"The answer to your burning questions about subjects from Area 51 to the Yakuza."—Details
"Delightful." –The Weekly Standard
"Goldwag is a colorful writer who makes good use of his material as he aims to explain, rather than debunk or expose, a fascinating diversity of beliefs."—Boston Globe
"The author's delivery is engaging and entertaining. The amount of research done in this book is astounding. . . . An incredibly insightful, thoroughly enjoyable look at society's shadow."—Armchair Interviews
"Goldwag navigates his way through the wilder reaches of human belief with great urbanity."
—Mark Booth, author of The Secret History of the World: As Laid Down by the Secret Societies
"As entertainingly written as it is enlightening."
—Phillip Lopate

I've known about many of these cults, conspiracy theories and societies since I was a kid. Others have sprung into being during the half century that's elapsed since then. Still others are new to me. The wealth of information in these pages and the new details that Goldwag has unearthed on even familiar topics make this book a valuable resource here in 2009.
Some might quibble at the alphabetical organization within each of the book's three sections; I found it a bit odd at first. However, I'm hard pressed to come up with a better structure. It allows Goldwag to tell the full story of each topic he addresses, whether it stretches over tens or hundreds of years. It also makes it easy to zero in on items that might hold particular interest, and to find your way back to them later. Sources are cited frequently throughout the text for anyone interested in delving more deeply into a particular area.
Goldwag clearly is writing from the perspective of an interested rationalist. That's bound to push the buttons of some folks who hold certain notions as articles of faith. A few of the reviews here are evidence of that. For me, there's something intruiging and thought-provoking on every page. That's exactly what I want from a book of this sort.
Ultimately this is a book that very briefly touches all the topics listed on the books cover and inner chapter list. It is written by a writer who considers himself a true rationalist. He is a common-sense pragmatist, to a fault, since he considers any conspiracy, back room surreptitious plotting or hijinks all on, or above the surface, and mostly as isolated incidents. He sees no far reaching conspiracies at all. To show him different facts in any way would undermine his reality just as much as truth that UFOs and real nut bag alien conspiracies are false would undermine the very fringe people he so eagerly writes to debunk.Read more ›

I'm from a small violent city called Chester Pa, so Dover is nothing to me. I have noticed it's steadily gotten worse since 2012. Dover is a kinda do nothing town. Downtown Dover is probably the best thing about the town. You can walk around the historical district, you can walk downtown and it's nice. The Schwartz center has shows there and the Biggs Museum/Archives. It's not bad but it's not great.A car does help.

Stillpoint Residential Retreat 2016
"The Life of the Beloved"
Friday evening 22 July – Sunday 24 July 2016
(with an optional extension to Monday 25 July)
At Nunyara Conference Centre and Stillpoint House, Belair SA.
In this year marking the 20th year after Henri Nouwen's death in 1996, Stillpoint is offering this unique retreat centred on one of his finest works 'Life of the Beloved'. At a time when the world promotes so many voices demanding that we meet some expectation before we can be considered lovable, Nouwen reminds us of life giving knowledge that we are the Beloved, simply because we are all children of God.
The retreat format combines times of teaching, times to reflect in silence, the sharing of insights and questions, as well as, for those who wish to participate, experiences of contemplative prayer and joining in the Daily Office. The retreat leader will be Rev Dr Gary Stuckey, Director of Stillpoint.
The retreat may be undertaken on either a 'live-in' or 'live-out' basis.

Space for Yourself
We all need a little space now and then…
People decide to take a quiet day or a retreat for all kinds of reasons. For some it may be part of a rhythm of reflection/action that they find balances their life. Others may decide that they just need 'time out' to think and pray. For some a quiet day comes at a time of decision-making or struggle. For others it is the joyful embracing and celebrating of a particular stage of the journey. And for others it may just be that they feel tired and in need of some rest and renewal. You may have a significant reason for taking 'time out' or no real reason at all except that it is a good idea to balance life's busyness with rest and reflection.
Download the brochure 'Space for Yourself' to discover more about how Stillpoint may be for you a place for prayer, retreat, listening, resourcing, worship and community – a place where you can find a little space for yourself now and then. Click here…

Southwestern Music Academy
Music Preparatory Program
Quality education in a Christian setting.
Registration for the Music Academy is now Open
Music Academy Summer Registration
Welcome to the summer session of the Southwestern Music Academy!
As we finish up rich and fruitful fall and spring semesters we are ready to begin a more relaxed summer session. Looking back on this past year we are terribly proud of our students' accomplishments: 54 students passed the State Theory Test – most scoring above 90 and earning medals; 56 piano, voice, violin, and cello students are taking their Royal Conservatory MDP assessment – congratulations to our first 2 Level 9 students; and we are having 5 end-of-the-semester recitals to accommodate all of our students who want to perform in May!
All students are strongly encouraged to sign up for summer lessons and the session is offered in a flexible and cost-effective way to make that happen for as many as possible. With our emphasis on both excellence and fun in the Academy, we cannot stress enough how important it is that lessons continue throughout the summer – 3 months is a long time to be away from music study and much will have to be relearned in the fall if there are no summer lessons!!! This is a wonderful time to get a head start on both Royal Conservatory MDP Assessment material as well as theory work.
Scheduled on any day and week which is convenient to both teacher and student, 6 lessons will be offered between May 19th and August 25th. Lesson registration can be for a half hour, 45 minutes, or an hour in length and tuition must be paid in full before the first lesson. Please note that no installment plan or discounts are offered on summer tuition.
We hope that you will ensure your child's success for the coming academic year by registering for our SUMMER SESSION!
For your convenience registration and payment is now offered online. Please take advantage of this easy new system to begin your child's summer study!

MLB Approves Cubs Sale
The major league baseball owners have unanimously approved the sale of the Cubs to the Ricketts family. According to the Sporting News article, there are still a few hoops to jump through before the Ricketts officially take over day-to-day control of the team, which should hopefully happen before the end of the month.
The franchise still has to go through a 24-hour "pre-packaged
bankruptcy," which the Tribune reports will take place next Monday or
Tuesday. When that step is finalized, the banks financing the deal will
have a "10 day cooling off period" before they have to fund the deal.
When they do take over, Ricketts and Hendry will get to have this conversation (the following brilliance is from Andy Dolan at Desipio):
Jim Hendry: Mr. Ricketts, I need to talk to you about what we're going to do with Milton Bradley.
Tom Ricketts: Sure, I knew this was coming.
JH: We owe him $21 million the next two years, but
we have to move him. We can't possibly try to put him back in that
clubhouse with those players. They hate him.
TR: Fine. What are we looking at in return?
JH: Honestly, not much. There are only a few teams
that have any interest at all, and they don't want to pay much of his
salary, and they don't want to give up any real prospects. The best we
could do would be to trade for a player with a bigger contract, like
Aaron Rowand or Chris Young, and even then we'll have to eat some of
Milton's contract.
TR: So we're in a position where we're going to pay a guy to not play for us?
JH: I think we have to. It's better to pay him to not play here, than have him here poisoning the team and not producing.
TR: So it's your opinion, that the best solution to
this is to not try to make something that's not working, work, but
instead to cut the cord and eat the money and bring in somebody better
equipped to do the job?
JH: Exactly. Sometimes it's the best thing.
TR: For example, you have three years and $9 million left on your deal, right?
JH: Uh…yeah.
TR: So how about this? How about I eat that nine
million bucks, and pay you to not screw up our roster and our payroll
anymore, and bring in somebody else to do the job, instead of having
you try…again…to find somebody to bat lefthanded and not poison the
clubhouse and underperform? Because, as you read in the papers for
months, I need to decide what to do with Kenney. He thinks he's going
to stay on to handle the Wrigley Field renovations and be your boss.
But I could bring in a baseball guy like John Schuerholz or Sandy
Alderson to be the president, and instead of having them be your boss,
they could just do your job.
JH: Uh…I guess.
TR: Great. Now why don't you and Crane leak that
to your little toadies, Levine and Kaplan? I've got a completely
fucked up payroll to worry about.
Speaking of the payroll, Arizona Phil has updated the right sidebar with the latest estimates. The Cubs are on the hook for $118M in guaranteed contracts and an estimated $18 million if they auto-renew and sign all their arbitration eligible players (which they probably won't). That puts the grand total at around $136M before any dealmaking gets under way.
Completely OFF TOPIC
but Miggy the town drunk just dropped a 400+ foot two run bomb on the Twins. He's got a double and a HR so far.
3-0 Tigers bottom of the third.
Re: Completely OFF TOPIC
he also blew 3x the legal limit 12-ish hours before the game before this one.
way to prepare for an important game.
Re: Rumors and stuff
help...please take our .370-.400 ob% hitter off our hands...he's prone to being unhappy. we'll pay you!
i still can't believe hendry/lou bought a pit bull, ignored it, let it socialize itself around the house without much guidance, and then was shocked when it bit someone. way to go.
Re: Rumors and stuff
Why do you always mention that he is a .370-.400 OBP hitter? Why don't you also mention he will miss 2 months worth of AB's a season, struggle to get 50 RBI or even over 100 hits in a single season and his slugging % was a pathetic .397.
His career OPS is .821, his OPS this season is .775. So he isn't going to be much better than what he was this past season. What he did in Texas is out of proportion from what he did the rest of his career. It screams career year to never be matched again.
But not many guys are hanging their hats on a 22 HR 77 RBI season as their best ever and thinking their a great hitter. Well unless your Jim Hendry and the Chicago Cubs offering 3 years 30 million for a 1 season 70 RBI hitter at age 31.
Re: Rumors and stuff
well, the main point is the cubs are giving away a .370+ ob% guy...paying him to go away...because they bought a dog and decided to tie it up in the yard.
and we've gone over the "texas thing" before...i expect 30+doubles, 15-25 HR production out of him...it wouldn't be even mildly shocking to see milton hit 25 homers. i don't...and never have...expected him to be some ungodly power hitter. he does have gap+ power, though.
the cubs are about to pay a team to take a .370+ ob% who has more power potential than fuku away for things unrelated to what he does on the field. great stuff.
Re: Rumors and stuff
I liked the pit bull analogy, btw.
Re: Rumors and stuff
i'm just geting sick of called bradley a baby...paying homage to his irrational side.
Re: Rumors and stuff
$10 million for 15 HR's or so? He's never hit 25 HR's in a season...so why expect that? At age 31...seriously? 30 doubles? it's not like he does that every season.
Re: Rumors and stuff
Who knew that you only paid money for home runs these days?
BTW... ya'll should check out a pretty decent GM talking about home runs and RBI compared to OBP, SLUG, OPS, etc..
Money quote (paraphrased), in saying why JD Drew is good: "He is always going to have low RBI totals - I couldn't care less. ...
He does the single most important thing you can do in baseball - not make outs."
Re: Rumors and stuff
I agree. And a guy being a prick and prima donna hanging around the clubhouse doesn't have any effect on the team. Stats are what really matter.
Re: Rumors and stuff
Can you imagine? Montreal, Cleveland, Los Angeles(AL), Los Angeles (NL), Oakland, San Diego, Texas, and now the Cubs... getting rid of this guy. If they could just uncover the great and secret stat "OBP" they would realize his true value. Alas! how naive are these GMs?
Maybe Theo Epstein would take Milton Bradley since he loves OBP so much? Something tells me, though, Milton Bradley doesn't suit up as a Red Sox next year.
Re: Rumors and stuff
Just for the sake of Milty accuracy, he never played for the Angels.
Re: Rumors and stuff
You are a broken record.
I didn't say anything about Bradley's attitude (though, of course, JD Drew has often been criticized for many of the same things that Bradley gets criticized for).
I was simply responding to the silly, "$10M for 15 HR" comment.
But, FWIW, I think that if Bradley was better in April and May, then yea, his attitude wouldn't have mattered.
Re: Rumors and stuff
Ok....$10 million for the turd of a season MB had?
Oh...and his June wan't too hot either...273/.377/.348, 0 HR, 3 RBI, but an amazing 5 doubles. Please note sarcasm.
Re: Rumors and stuff
Bradley didn't get paid $10M for this past season. Good try though.
Re: Rumors and stuff
Ok. $7 million for this turd of a season??
Is that better?
Re: Rumors and stuff
Hey...another often injured, low production guy. Couldn't we get a guy who gets on base...AND drives in runs?
Re: Rumors and stuff
Yup... you are right. You know more about baseball and putting together a team than Theo Epstein does.
Did you even listen to what Epstein said?
Re: Rumors and stuff
I certainly don't know more than him. More than you? go get your magnifying glass to find any more rounding errors or something...
Re: Rumors and stuff
More than you? go get your magnifying glass to find any more rounding errors or something...
Awesome... when you have nothing of substance to day, resort to personal attacks. Are you MikeC/Real Neal now?

Re: MLB Approves Cubs Sale
The sale is finally (99%) over, thank the gods.
I'd like to have the cash Ricketts will spend just to furnish his spiffy new office at Wrigley. I see a solid gold urinal and a bust of Marla Collins.
Re: MLB Approves Cubs Sale
"a busty Marla Collins."
is there another kind?
Re: MLB Approves Cubs Sale
"Johnson or Fuld (why not both?)...Gordy thinks they'll resign Reed if he doesn't get too expensive
Fox, Fontenot likely on the block (think we can get Lincecum for them?)
Gordy thinks they can unload Bradley and not have to eat 80% or more of his contract (I guess 75% is okay)"
Fuld. Johnson is gonna want too much. Or, rather, Hendry will OFFER him TOO much. They are the same guy. Reed can hit a little better. Fuld is younger, faster, with a better arm.
Also, can Hendry pay some of the Bradley salary loss?
Re: MLB Approves Cubs Sale
I agree on the Fuld and Hendry remarks, though Fuld has also been a bit more injury prone throughout his career.
I was going to say it seems like Hendry is the only one he doesn't hold responsible for the sub-par season, but it looks like Lou is getting off pretty easy as well.
Re: MLB Approves Cubs Sale
Who resurrected Magglio Ordonez?
Re: Lee named......
"Sharp, the presenting sponsor of the National League Player of the Month Award, presents Derrek Lee with a 52" AQUOS®."
...well damn.
Re: Fuld vs. Johnson
I think Fuld and Fox should constitute OFer's #4 and 5
No arbitration to Reed Johnson. Why overpay for him when he is nothing close to a difference maker?
Grabow asking for 3 years makes me think he will turn down arbitration. So offer it to him. Take the picks and build up the system.
Re: Fuld vs. Johnson
The downside is?..... Bringing Grabow back on a 1yr deal. Certainly better than letting Hendry figure out his market value over a 3 year deal IMHO.
Re: Fuld vs. Johnson
If the dude couldn't get ABs at third base instead of Miles and Fontenot, it's utterly hopeless. Let's trade him for a non-prospect, then figure out how to get Lou his "big RBI bat."

I had the pleasure of seeing the Twins pound the Cubs twice this summer. Once with CUBSTER.
There cannot be two different organizations.
EDIT: "pleasure" in a facetious way.
The Twins also beat the Cubbies two of three their last trip to the Dome. Not much of a surprise there.
Re: MLB Approves Cubs Sale
...and OVER! As the Twins win it in 12 with a walk-off single, 6-5.
Re: MLB Approves Cubs Sale
Twins now 1-1 in game #163, also averaging 163 games over the last two years

Cards and Pirates lose. I'm OK with that.
I'm ready for the end of the Miggy era.
he juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust got there...1st appearance, injury...yow
b.matusz it is.
Oops. Colin Rea leaves the game with injury.
Cubs optioned Justin Grimm to Iowa after the game. No corresponding roster move announced yet, but it could be Brian Matusz.
Marlins with a quick 4 spot vs Jaime Garcia. Osuna HR the highlight.
Brian Matusz, supposedly he has attachments. Hope it's not like an email with a virus attached.
One thing to remember about Chapman -- he can be magic, but his ERA is higher than Rondon's this year. 100+ mph is fun, but I'd love to see a few more sliders. I think he enjoys the crowd reaction from 103 mph.
"Diamondbacks designated RHP Josh Collmenter for assignment."
aww...he was my 2nd favorite crapballer. his control issues are rather severe at the moment.
Wow -- Chapman gives up a hit and everything completely caves in. I think the Cubs went into collective shock.
Stolen base with the pitcher holding the ball, WP that should have been caught or blocked, then Russell with a 2-out error on a routine play. Cubs handed them 2 runs. Throw in a Fowler bobble and it was a mess.
Hopefully, that is all out of their system now -- let's get a W tomorrow.
First time I've ever seen a base running slump -- he's made some poor decisions recently, but I thought it was a great idea to try to score there -- it's not like Heyward was going to get a 2-out hit against a LHP. Sliding feet-first into home is probably the safe (ugh) way to go, but it's hard to get the foot on the plate.
Yup. He got squeezed (twice) on the first walk, but, when you have one-run lead and the other team is trying to make an out -- take the out.
Wasn't fun!
Clearly the Cubs need to clear out the farm and trade for another closer
Where's Ed Lynch when you need him?

Artist: The Beatles
Album: A Hard Day´s Night
it's been a hard day's night, and I been working like a dog
it's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log
but when I get home to you I'll find the things that you do
will make me feel alright
you know I work all day to get you money to buy you things
and it's worth it just to hear you say you're going to give me everything
so why on earth should I moan, 'cause when I get you alone
you know I feel ok
when I'm home everything seems to be right
when I'm home feeling you holding me tight, tight (Ummm)
so why on earth should I moan, 'cause when I get you alone
you know I feel ok
you know I feel alright
you know I feel alright

Always love attending ranger-led hikes and talks while at Rocky Mountain Natl Park. So wondered if the same is offered at the Redwood National Park? If yes, has anyone taken them?
Page 3 of this NPS publication has info about ranger walks:
"Park rangers and other staff lead a variety of seasonally available activities and programs throughout the parks that are free, informative, and fun for all ages and backgrounds.
Programs available mid-May to mid-September."
I'm pretty sure they offer them at Prairie Creek and Kuchel (Orick) Visitors Centers. No, I've not been on any.
Because redwood is managed both by the nps as well as ca park service you have 2 different sets of rangers and many more opportunities to talk to a ranger I have enjoyed talking to rangers at orick and prairie creek and crescent city.
BLM rangers lead hikes into the Headwaters Forest Reserve south of Eureka on weekends in the dry season:

Northern Ireland international striker Healy has not played since scoring in his country's 1-1 draw with Azerbaijan due to a calf injury but is set to provide an extra option in attack for boss Kevin Blackwell, who will be without ineligible on-loan Leicester forward Tom Hopper.
Skipper Schumacher came back into the Shakers' midfield ahead of schedule as a second-half substitute during Saturday's 2-0 defeat at home to Leyton Orient following an ankle ligament problem and is pushing for a start.
Aside from Hopper, Bury's five other loanees have been granted permission to take part in cup action by their parent clubs, but it remains to be seen whether the transfer embargo imposed on the Gigg Lane outfit by the Football League will impact upon the availability of Matt Doherty, Zac Thompson, Ethan Ebanks-Landell, Troy Hewitt and Gregg Wylde.
Former Leeds man Ben Parker was prevented from making his debut at the weekend by the embargo having agreed non-contract terms, while fellow defender Phil Picken (knee) remains a long-term absentee.

Product Description
An All New 3-Disc DVD Collection from The First Couple of Comedy! Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz star in the only movies they made together - Forever, Darling, The Long, Long Trailer, and Too Many Girls.]]>
Too Many Girls stars Arnaz as a South American athlete tapped by Princeton's football team to join its squad. The one condition is that he remain undercover until the season begins, forcing him to forgo women. Half-mad from deprivation, he shrugs off Princeton's heavy hand and agrees to join three football buddies hired to secretly chaperone a wealthy man's willful daughter (Ball) to a small, co-ed college in New Mexico. There the boys join the school's football team and immediately make it a success; of course, they also pitch woo to some comely young ladies. The Rodgers and Hart score is enjoyable, with a couple of minor classics ("You're Nearer" and "I Didn't Know What Time It Was"). The best moment, however, is Arnaz and Ball's very first scene together in what would become a historical partnership: Arnaz fainting at the sight of Ball, the first girl he's seen in months.
The Long, Long Trailer, in gorgeous Technicolor and directed by Vincente Minnelli, is a somewhat allegorical tale of a newly married couple who invest in a 40-foot trailer as their first home--and immediately regret it. Well, at least Arnaz's character does; he's the one who has anxiety attacks over operating electric brakes while steering up and down one-lane, mountain roads. Sight gags are plentiful: a scene in which Ball tries to make beef stew, a Caesar salad, and cake in a wobbling, moving trailer is classic Lucy. But there are some genuine dramatic sequences in this handsome movie, too, and the stars rise to the occasion. Forever Darling concerns the marriage of a sensible if visionary chemist, Lorenzo (Arnaz), and a high society gal, Susan (Ball). The latter can't decide if she should concentrate on entertaining friends and keeping up appearances or joining her husband on a two-year field test of his bug-killing spray. James Mason stars as a handsome guardian angel attempting to steer Susan toward happiness. But along the path toward resolution, lots of mayhem ensues. A lengthy camping scene full of disaster will delight I Love Lucy fans. --Tom Keogh

THE LONG, LONG TRAILER is truly one of the great screen comedies of all time, and although Lucy & Desi play characters named "Tacy and Nicky", they run pretty close to the Ricardos in many ways. The film gives both beloved performers many chances for their signature slapstick, but being based on a best-selling book, there are also touching moments that remain poignant. Deftly directed by Vincente Minnelli, it's no wonder, TRAILER was a box office smash.
FOREVER DARLING is a delightful collection with a bit of a twist, and the added bonus of James Mason as Lucy & Desi's guardian angel.....Last, but certainly not least, we get something special. TOO MANY GIRLS is the movie where Lucy met Desi and the pair fell in love. They don't have many scenes together, but it's a superb screen version of the Rodgers & Hart Broadway show that made Desi Arnaz a star, and Lucy, Ann Miller, Eddie Bracken and the rest of the cast make this a must-have for fans of classic film.
Cheers to Warner Brothers for bringing out this great collection of the only 3 movies our Lucy & Desi made together, and at such a low price, you can't pass it up!
Like I've said before, Lucy and Desi were a wonderful duo on screen together. Forever Darling is no exception. It's a hilarious comedy for the whole family. Highly recommended!

- Cited By
Neprilysin (NEP), a thermolysin-like zinc metalloendopeptidase, plays an important role in turning off peptide signalling events at the cell surface. It is involved in the metabolism of a number of regulatory peptides of the mammalian nervous, cardiovascular, inflammatory and immune systems. Examples include enkephalins, tachykinins, natriuretic and chemotactic peptides. NEP is an integral plasma membrane ectopeptidase of the M13 family of zinc peptidases. Other related mammalian NEP-like enzymes include the endothelin-converting enzymes (ECE-1 and ECE-2), KELL and PEX. A number of novel mammalian homologues of NEP have also recently been described. NEP family members are potential therapeutic targets, for example in cardiovascular and inflammatory disorders, and potent and selective inhibitors such as phosphoramidon have contributed to understanding enzyme function. Inhibitor design should be facilitated by the recent three-dimensional structural solution of the NEP–phosphoramidon complex. For several of the family members, however, a well-defined physiological function or substrate is lacking. Knowledge of the complete genomes of Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster allows the full complement of NEP-like activities to be analysed in a single organism. These model organisms also provide convenient systems for examining cell-specific expression, developmental and functional roles of this peptidase family, and reveal the power of functional genomics.

|DO NOT REPLY [Bug 50781] javac task creates long command line
|Wed, 28 Dec 2011 07:48:11 GMT
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=50781 --- Comment #4 from Stefan Bodewig <email@example.com> 2011-12-28 07:48:11 UTC --- The reason the code works the way it does is that many implementations of javac (the code is shared) do not support arbitrary arguments in the response file, only source files. IIRC this has been true for Sun's javac until 1.3 or 1.4 as well. In order to make use of the patch it has to be guarded by some kind of conditional that ensures we don't feed additional args to jikes or Microsoft's jvc. We may even need an attribute to control it for the JDK's javac as people may be using older javacs in forked mode. -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.

DENVER (AP) -- Opponents of a plan to expand the Army's Pinon Canyon training site contend the Army hasn't fully considered the environmental impacts of increasing training there.
Not 1 More Acre! and others suing the Army outlined their arguments in a brief filed last week in U.S. District Court in Denver.
They filed a lawsuit in April asking a judge to make sure the Army complies with the National Environmental Policy Act before making changes at the Pinon Canyon Maneuver Site.
The plaintiffs contend the Army violated the act by failing to fully consider reasonable alternatives to its plan to increase the frequency, duration and intensity of training at Pinon Canyon in southeastern Colorado.
They also claim the Army didn't include proposals to physically expand the training site when it wrote an environmental impact statement on the effects of increasing training.
The Army has said plans to boost training are separate from plans to increase the size of the training site.

AUSTIN (AP) - Texas used six pitchers and smart base-running to beat Kent State 5-0 on Monday and win the NCAA Austin Regional.
The Longhorns (47-16) will host Arizona State in a three-game series in Austin beginning Friday.
KANSAS CITY, Mo.
NORMAN, Okla. — Defending NCAA champion Jordan Scott of Kansas won the Big 12 outdoor pole vault title on Saturday.
His winning height of 17 feet, 7¾ inches gave him his seventh and final Big 12 Conference title. The four-time indoor conference champion's only blemish was a second-place finish at the 2008 Big 12 outdoors.
Scott's performance lifted the Kansas men to fourth place with 24 points. Texas leads the men's standings heading into Sunday with 54 points, followed by Nebraska (47.5) and Texas A&M (42.5).
The Big 12 will have a new look in men's basketball next season and not just because Nebraska and Colorado are leaving.
Kansas State settles with its former coach
MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Kansas State has agreed to settle a contract dispute with former football coach Ron Prince for $1.65 million.
The school announced the settlement on Friday, ending an embarrassing chapter in Kansas State sports history. Prince was generally unpopular with fans after going 17-20 from 2006-2008 as head coach. He was fired.
Maybe it's hard to picture now that he's a major-college middle linebacker, but there was a time back in high school when Bront Bird competed in the high jump.
Texas Tech on Thursday released its Big 12 Conference football schedule for the next two seasons.
The schedule, which is tentative, pits the Red Raiders against each of the other nine teams that will remain in the league after this season. In 2011 and 2012, Tech will face the following teams in the following order: Kansas, Texas A&M, Kansas State, Oklahoma, Iowa State, Texas, Oklahoma State, Missouri and Baylor.

30 hand picked films. A new one every day
Joe Ross is a corporate engineer who has recently invented a very lucrative process that has not yet been patented. With several untrustworthy parties all after it, it's hard to tell who's conning who…and the game is just beginning.
Thank you for giving this role to Steve Martin!
Campbell Scott looks so much like his father its ridiculous!
Twists and turns make for a good plot. Boom in shot a few times, can obviously forgive. A really enjoyable movie to watch, cared about what happened to Joe and enjoyed the ride. A gripe of mine for a lot of mystery/heist films is how the plot resolves in about 30 seconds
Best Mr. Mamet's heist trilogy.
Steve Martin owns this movie.
Mamet plays to be Hitchcock like he did in his first feature. The results are pretty good, a fine and engaging thriller that unravels its clues patiently and keeps you guessing what is going to happen next.
My first Mamet. Weird dialogue but very cool plot with the rare serious turn by Steve Martin.
The dialogue sounds like it got ripped from the pages of a typical thriller novel. It promises action but delivers none through the way it was shot(no dramatic or subjective camera work here) and the 4:3 aspect ratio makes me think it was a television movie, the ones played in the afternoon no-one watches. But the story is engaging i guess.

We Are the Willows perform live in The Current studio
Listen Feature audio
Dec 10, 2014 Listen to all 4 tracks:
We Are the Willows In-Studio (full session + interview)
We Are the Willows - Picture (Live on 89.3 The Current)
We Are the Willows - Dear Ms. Branstner (Live on 89.3 The Current)
We Are the Willows - Wedding Song (Live on 89.3 The Current)
With the recent release of their third album Picture (Portrait), We Are the Willowscomprised of Peter Miller (guitar/lead vocals), Jeremiah Satterthwaite (guitar/banjo), Leah Ottman (violin/voice/keys), Hilary James (cello/voice/keys), Travis Collins (bass), Stephen Lindquist (drums/voice)stopped by The Current studio to chat with the Local Show's host David Campbell and to perform tracks off the new record.
Picture (Portrait) is a concept album, but it's so much more than that. As an undergrad, We Are the Willows frontman lived with his grandparents and often heard of the 350 odd letters his grandparents exchanged during World War II. It wasn't until after graduating from college that Peter read the letters and was so moved by his grandparents' exchanges that he decided to write songs based on their long-distance love story.
Peter's grandfather died two years ago, but he gave Peter his blessing to pursue the project before he passed. Before its release, Miller's grandmother listened to Picture (Portrait) in its entirety. "One of the things she said that was most affirming was that she felt like she had just walked back through her life," says Peter.
It's nearly impossible to fit more than 350 letters into 10 tracks. Miller reveals that a second album will be released in the coming months and will act as a sister record to Picture (Portrait).
We Are the Willows celebrate the release of Picture (Portrait) at the Turf Club on Saturday, Dec. 13 with S. Carey and Marty Marquis.

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
Imagine sitting in the back seat of the world's largest Escalade, and that everyone in the car with you is auditioning to be an extra in a rap video. Most of the people in the car with you can be put into one of three categories -- rapper, model, or someone trying very hard to look like a rapper or a model.
In a nutshell, that was what it felt like to attend the Ecko Unlimited fashion show on Sunday night in the Penthouse Fashion Theatre of the Atlanta Apparel Mart. I didn't go so much to see the fashion show as I did to see rapper Killer Mike (who appeared on the invitation as "Killa Mike," presumably because Ecko's public relations people couldn't imagine a rapper with a name that didn't incorporate some sort of kool Ms. Spellin').
Killer Mike's hit is a track called "A.D.I.D.A.S." The chorus repeats, "All day I dream about sex." It's not a great song, but I feel a sentimental affection for it because when I was in elementary school, we used to joke that that's what Adidas stands for. Killer Mike and another equally large rapper performed while the models marched the runway. It's strange -- the fashion show used two overweight rappers during the show and in the background used two massive portraits of another massive rapper, Fat Joe. Nevertheless, the models were all thin. I guess in the fashion world it's OK to be fat if you can rap.
Ecko's fashions clearly weren't comfortable on the two big rappers, who wore them while performing. It seemed like every few seconds they had to grab their crotches to adjust themselves. How embarrassing to have to do that in front of so many people.
(Strange side note: If you look up "Killa Mike" on Amazon.com, instead of "Killer Mike," you get "Leading With the Heart," a self-help book by Duke University basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski.)
Today!: Here's a great rule of thumb for filmmakers -- If you want to guarantee media coverage for your film, put a journalist in it. I don't think that local filmmaker David Sarich had that in mind when he interviewed me for Feel Neil, his documentary about Neil Diamond super-fans and cover bands, or when he invited me to his party last Friday celebrating the film's completion and its acceptance into the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Film Festival. But who cares what his intentions were? I obviously love mentioning that I'm in a movie. I also wanna mention that a brief segment featuring the real Neil Diamond failed to make the final cut. That means I made it in, but Neil Diamond didn't. Ha!
The party was held at Lab 601 on North Avenue near City Hall East. Film or no film, the party would've been mention-worthy for its amazing food alone. Bang, Ami and Front Page News provided what was described to me by a couple of people as "the best cocktail party hors d'oeuvres ever." I washed the food down with Sarich-invented "Diamond Martinis." A Diamond Martini is a vodka martini with Goldschlager. The first sip is brutal, but by the fourth sip it makes perfect sense.
The party was also notable for its entertainment amenities, chiefly a fireman's pole that connects the first and second floors. Lab 601 describes it to their insurance company as a "28-foot vertical stainless steel sculpture." Two employees of the company insisted that fire poles are safer than stairs, an assertion undermined by the intoxicated woman who sprained her ankle using it.
Dear Dairy: If while making your way around town this summer you notice life-size fiberglass cows with strange and colorful designs, do not telephone your therapist. It's only CowParade, a citywide public art show that lasts through September.
Last Thursday at the art gallery in Sun Trust Plaza, art patrons and matrons got to watch artist Eric Waugh paint his contribution to CowParade. Waugh calls himself a "performance artist." That doesn't mean he stands naked with one foot behind his head reading Proust aloud while midgets in tuxedos pour pudding on him. Rather, he "performs" by painting in front of audiences. His promo folder -- which was handed to me by his pushy agents -- says that he's "the most collected original artist" not only "of his time" but also "of his kind." Whatever.
How About That: Other than mom, apple pie and preventive military strikes, there's nothing more American than Major League Baseball. That's why I'm so happy that baseball season has started. Apparently, I'm one of the few. I only counted 21,253 at Sunday afternoon's game against the Expos.
I'm particularly surprised because not only was the weather nice, but it was also Kosher Day at the ballpark. To mark the occasion, one of the vendors sold kosher hot dogs. There was also a medley of songs from Fiddler on the Roof during the 7th-inning stretch. (Note: The previous sentence is a lie.)
I didn't try the kosher hot dogs. I did, however, try Dippin' Dots, the self- proclaimed "Ice Cream of the Future" for the first time. Now that I've tasted the future, I can report that the future has a vaguely chemical aftertaste. Much better was the good, old-fashioned 20th-century beer. $7 is steep, but worth it to cleanse my palette of Dippin' Dots.
My girlfriend would like me to mention that Javy "Right Hand" Lopez is the "best thing about the team," "adorable" -- and that this ass looks nice in the Braves uniform. Thanks.
He didn't ask for any of this. She took it upon herself to start this…
Not a huge fan of the ankle cuff sneakers that Serena (and KD) are wearing…
Kind of strange that some random lady started a GoFundMe for that kid. I'm curious…
Can Tim Lee get any more pitiful?
Are my nards going to get irradiated?

When Wong got fired, we were all devastated for sure. But as far as how the
football team would do on the field? As long as VanOrden came back i was
absolutely sure our team would still be great (best in the state imo). More..

The same statement works absolutely fine on linux. Has anyone else come across it too? Do you know how I could fix it?
