Trail Ridge, Rocky Mountains National Park
My fist trip into this amazing park. There are lots of pullouts for visitors to stop and admire the view or take photos! Breathing was hard even on short walks! The Alpine Visitor centre is at 11796 feet. My favourite walk was called Rock Cut where there were many different rocks visible and a I saw marmot and pika. First time I have seen either of these unusual small mammal. Also crossed the continental divide with photos of the 2 lakes and saw Elk on my way home.

Kizhi and cruising
Loved all the churches, farmhouses and peasants houses that had been transported to this island and rebuilt. The main church was under repair which looked very complicated. We had lovely weather for our morning visit here.

19 Jul Catherines Palace in Pushkin, City Tour St Petersburg
This Palace used by Catherine and her daughter Elisabeth has been beautifully reconstructed after a fire. Elisabeth lavished a lot of money on this palace which is opulent - full of gold. It was lovely to hear the young men sing in the Music room down by the lake and walk in the pretty gardens. The interior, however is in a class of its own with incredible decorations from the beautiful wooden floors to the intricate ceilings. The Amber Room - completely covered in amber was stunning, but we were not allowed to photograph this room. In the afternoon we did a city tour, and there was just such a lot to take in and to see.

Cruising and Mandrogi
The start of the cruise. It was lovely to finally leave dock and follow the other tour boats along the river. Our flrst meal afloat was a great success and I was able to get some sunset shots and saw my first of around 20 locks for this trip to Moscow. We arrived in Mandrogi and had time for a walk around the craft shops before having a lovely barbecue lunch with some delightful folk music. We were very impressed by how well the vegetables and flowers were growing in the garden as they were well in advance of ours in Scotland.

St Petersburg
Our first trip into the City. The traffic is crazy at all times of day. Many of these photos are taken out of the bus window as we drove to the Hermitage Museum.

Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg
The Palace Buildings in which the museum is based has been beautifully restored. There are many fine details on the building both outside and in. Everywhere you look there is gold, the interiors are sumptious. In just over an hour we were whisked around the museum to see the Highlights. One could easily spend several days in the museum.

Carrbridge, Loch Pityoulish, Cairngorm
A great day out enjoying the snow and some sunshine as we drove and walked around Speyside and up Cairngorm Mountain. Stopped by the River Spey at Grantown on Spey then along to see the beautiful packhorse bridge that Carrbridge is named after. A nice walk beside Loch Pityoulish before heading up Cairngorm Mountain to admire the skier and snowboarders in action with a final stop at Loch an Eilean before we ran out of light!

Edinburgh Festival
Had a great day out in Edinburgh with Mary. Started by photographing snails on a plant in her garden; next pigs and goats in Edinburgh - this was a surprise and then the Festival. The street festival was being enjoyed by lots of people, but everywhere seemed quieter to us. We went to see the Exhibition at the National Gallery - Van Gogh to Kandinsky. Some fascinating paintings, but not all to our taste! We also saw -Expanding Horizons | Giovanni Battista Lusieri and the Panoramic Landscape which were beautiful watercolours of Italy and transported me back to many places I had visited there. We were fascinated by the mirrors at the Camera Obscura and the light on the buildings in early evening. I love visiting Edinburgh as there are always new things to see, but also always the beautiful buildings in both the old and new towns.

Boat Trip to Inchcolm
I had a lovely day on Inchcolm Island visiting the Abbey, being attacked by the lesser black-backed gulls, looking for chicks and flowers. Climbed to the top of the Tower with Mary's granddaughter, Iona. The views from the tower were stunning. I always love boat trips and all 3 of us love this trip to Inchcolm under the Forth rail bridge. It is lovely to see the 2 bridges from the sea and to watch all the trains crossing the rail bridge. The sea was very calm on the journey and I love boat trips wherever they are going!

Smugglers Walk in Glenlivet
Sunday morning walk during the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival with 2 very different bridge crossings of the River Avon (A'an). The second was a wonderful swing bridge. It was mostly sunny, but cool - ideal for walk with a nice warming dram of the Glenlivet and Benromach thrown in!

Trip to Delft from Amsterdam by train
We loved the transport system of the Netherlands using ferries, buses, trams and trains during our 5 days. We got the train from central station with one change to Delft. The views out the windows were great and there was no worry about parking a car on arrival!! We traveled in an upstairs carriage which enhanced the views. It was a 5 min walk to the town. We started our day visiting Delft Pottery and then walking around the beautiful canals. We visited the Old Kirk and the New Kirk. The New Kirk is not very young being built in the 1500's! Loved the market and canals and beautiful buildings. Also loved seeing the tulip fields again on the way back to Amsterdam.

Glenlivet to Ullapool and Stac Polly
It has been lovely to have a few days with hard frost and the snow looking pretty on top of the hills. It has meant that it is easy to drive and the blue skies have meant that I need to be out enjoying this weather. I collected Ann and we headed from Inverness to Ullapool taking a few side roads on the way. We could not believe that the weather was this beautiful in February.

Addo Park, Plettinburg. Knynsa
We were amazed at the number of Elephants we saw withing the Addo Elephant Park. I know that we were supposed to find Elephants in this park, but the number we saw this time were far more than on our previous visit in 2008. This was our final mornning in the park starting with this lovely drive just after sunrise around 0630 and lasting until 1000. After breakfast we started on the 5 hour drive to George to catch the early evening flight back to Johannesburg. We had stops at Plettinburg and Knynsa to get out and enjoy the sea views. There is so much to see and do in South Africa and we have only scratched the surface!

Addo Elephant Park
The park certainly lived up to its name as we saw several herds of Elephants all enjoying the pool in turns on this very hot day in the park. Steve had difficulty getting me to leave as I was fascinated by the behaviour of the various families as they took turns drinking and bathing at the water hole.

Steve really enjoyed it, but I am not really keen on rides, but like to take photos of them. They then flew to George to visit my Cousin Ian. He took us to an Ostrich farm, The Cango Caves which were incredible and then to a very nice winery. It was another super day out in lovely weather.

Lemur Park, Antananarivo
This Lemur Park is on the edge of the city of "Tana". There was an opportunity here to get closer to the Lemurs although they are not tame. They certainly were more willing to hang around the place to be photographed. It was a beautiful day and we really enjoyed being taken round by a very knowledgable guide.

Isalo, Madagascar
As we moved north through Madagascar, we could not believe the changes in landscape. This is an incredibly beautiful land. We crossed many miles of scrub land and desert before we reached this incredible mountain range and the start of the areas growing rice which is the staple diet of Madagascar. Our walks in the hills had to take place very early because of the extreme heat. This was a spectacular one.

16 17 Nov Ifaty boat and birds, Madagascar
Ifaty is a spread out seaside resort area with individual hotels having large areas of narrow sandy beach. We had great views from our bungalow at the hotel, but no air conditioning. The temp was around 30C! I walked on the beach just after sunrise and enjoyed the peace as there was only me and some fishermen just off shore in their boats. I found a cemetery and some agave plants. This area in the very south of Madagascar is very hot and sunny all year round. The ground is covered with scrub or sand. Not many trees grow, but we did see some boab trees. It became very windy during our stay and we had an exciting ride in an outrigger canoe with sail!

Ankarafantsika to Tana
Stopped and had a look round a local weekly market in a village. It was lovely to see the range of goods for sale and to see the local people spending time together chatting and laughing and just enjoying the company of their neighbours. Michael spotted a chamelion in a tree near the road which gave us the chance for a close up view. It was a surprise to find a very wide river in the dry north west.

Journey to Ankarfantsika
We have an excellent driver in Michael which is just as well as the road is filled with heavy, heavy lorries and lots of pot holes. After trying 2 different baks in Tana, I was able to get the Euro traveller's cheques cashed and we could start out on our 9 hour drive. The landscapes we travelled through were changing round every corner and over every hill. We picked up some sandwiches, fruit and water before leaving. There are no toilet facilities for the first 7 hours of the journey and then a very interesting toilet at a restaurant where the our driver and guide had a meal. It was very hot, but fascinating to drive through the small villages and to see the rice being grown everywhere there was some space. Most people are involved working in the fields along with their Zubu (cows). Although the journey was fascinating, we were pleased to arrive at our accommodation for the next 3 nights.

Sadly our last morning in the Kruger National Park. It has been an awesome experience. The wildlife and birds have been very varied. It was interesting to watch the baboons eating and to be part of their lives for a short time. Always lovely to see Elephants, lions, zebra and antelope. Next it will be time to meet the Lemurs in Madagascar!

Our 2nd day in the Park and what a start - the local pride of lions had killed a giraffe about a 5 minute drive from Satara Camp where we are staying. It was incredible that the kill was close to the road so we were able to see all the lions including the the very handsome male and 2 young cubs. After that we saw Zebra, Giraffe, Wildebest, Hornbills, Elephants, Cheetahs and Rhino to name but a few. Kruger Park is amazing.

After leaving the family who had to return to work we drove along the Sabie River to the camp and then headed north again for Satara Camp where we stayed for 3 nights. We could not believe the range of wildlife that we saw on our afternoon journey. We were trilled to see the White Rhinos as last visit to a South African Park we had only seen ones retreating bottom! I love watching Weaver birds bulding their nest and also love their bright yellow colour!

We were able to hippos playing in the river!
Lion Park
The day after we arrived in Johannesburg, we had to get our first taste of African Wildlife by visiting the Lion Park. The white lions are rare and endangered.

Photos taken on a summer day. The Biblical garden which is open during the summer contains 110 biblical plants along with several sculpture. It is very colourful from the tulips in spring through summer into autumn. The garden is behind Elgin Cathdral making it easy to visit both on the same day. Opposite the main entrance to the cathedral is Cooper Park which has a wide selection of trees, a pond with ducks and swans and the library building. There are constant exhibitions of Art and Photography in a gallery at the Library.

Braemar 3 Sep 2011
Considered the finest and final Highland Games of the season. Braemar is the place to be on the first Saturday in September. This year there were 12 massed bands along the Atholl Highlanders led by the Duke of Atholl and his 2 sons. They were led into the area by another Pipe Band. All played magnificently. As well as the piping competitions and bands there is the hill race, heavy events including hammer throwing and tosing the caber, games for the children including races and pillow fights.

Ballindalloch, Elgin, Findochty, Cullen
Enjoyed trips to Ballindalloch castle and Elgin Cathedral and then with a friend had a wonderful day out at the seaside stopping at Findochty where we found a very active harbour and then along the coast to Cullen to enjoy walking on the beach watching everyone having fun with their children or their dogs. Enjoyed an icecream in Cullen and there is a choice of 2 icecream shops. After all the sea air, drove inland to Fordyce which is famous for beautifully maintained gardens and had wonderful views over farmland down to the sea.

Copenhagen is a fascinating city with many wonderful museums. It was a lovely evening on my arrival, but rained fairly steadily for the next 3 days. I used the Hop On Hop off Buses to get a feel for the city and did lots of walking - sometimes because I was lost! It is all fun when discovering a new place. My hotel was close to the Rail Station that linked the airport to the centre of town and also to Sweden where my journey continues. It was also close to the Tivoli Gardens, but it was too wet to visit them. I will have to do that on another trip!

Kilfenora is a magical small town in the Burren in County Clare. Built in 1189 A.D., Kilfenora Cathedral is dedicated to St. Fachtnan. The Cathedral contains a number of interesting carvings on grave slabs, windows, and doorways. The Cathedral is particularly known for its numerous high crosses, which today are, with one exception, displayed in the roofed north chapel in the cathedral. The most famous high cross is the 12th Century Doorty Cross.The wild orchids were growing in profusion by a small stream..

Let the cover do the talking. It'll do more than the tape.
This has to be the first time that box cover art is more exciting than the tape. One of the performers is so bored having his dick sucked that he spends the majority of the scene chewing gum and blowing bubbles. Light bulbs generate more heat.

A ship carrying liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the United States became the first LNG carrier to pass through the enlarged Panama Canal on Monday.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection has created a dedicated team to monitor violations of coastwise shipping rules as supporters tout the Jones Act's homeland security benefits.
Major freight railroads in the United States employed 152,426 workers as of the middle of June 2016, down 0.2 percent from the previous month and 11.55 percent year-over-year, according to data from the Surface Transportation Board.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
Both carriers have refuted analyst reports that industry leader Maersk Line intends not just to bring Hyundai Merchant Marine into the 2M Alliance it shares with MSC, but to merge with or buy the struggling South Korean line.
The struggling South Korean shipping line plans to return 20 containerships and 18 bulk vessels when their charters expire this year and next as the latest step in its cost cutting and restructuring efforts.
The London-based firm said it projects that container freight rates will rise modestly over the next 18 months from the all-time lows reached recently, but it won't be sufficient enough to rescue the industry from substantial losses in 2016.

Featured from ScubaEarth: Hawai'i is several destinations in one, as each of the major islands has its own unique dive experience. But, while each island is unique, almost 30 percent of everything you see can only be seen in the islands of Hawai'i. From December to May, the waters off all of Hawai'i fill with the haunting song of humpback whales.
Fishing nations at the annual meeting of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) have once again failed to adopt scientific advice and best practices to safeguard several species of oceanic sharks.
Featured from ScubaEarth:
All the beautiful islands that make up French Polynesia have the capacity to inspire even the hardest heart to romantic yearning. With wafts of frangipani on every soft breeze, a thousand shades of electric blue in every lagoon, coconut palms placed perfectly on every soft sand beach, the islands that make up the nation of Tahiti are beyond compare.
Overfishing, including through finning and bycatch, is taking a serious toll on shark populations - threats that will continue if shark fishing remains largely unmanaged in the world's ocean.
In November, Parties of the International Commission for Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)* have the opportunity and the scientific basis to take positive steps towards effective shark management in the Atlantic.
The annual DEMA Show put on by the Diving Equipment & Marketing Association is more than just a scuba diving trade show – it's the dive industry's event of the year.
With diving equipment manufacturers, training and certification organizations, apparel producers, travel companies and philanthropies from across the globe in attendance, it's a chance for all members of the dive industry to connect, collaborate and innovate.
The hunting ability and growth of sharks will be dramatically impacted by increased CO2 levels and warmer oceans expected by the end of the century, a University of Adelaide study has found.
Published today in the journal Scientific Reports, marine ecologists from the University of Adelaide's Environment Institute report long-term experiments that show warmer waters and ocean acidification will have major detrimental effects on sharks' ability to meet their energy demands, with the effects likely to cascade through entire ecosystems.
Team Tomahawk from Dive Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand is no stranger to Project AWARE's FinathonTM. The team has taken part in Finathons since 2013.
But little did the team know that their actions this year would reach a different kind of fame.
After a series of challenges and fun video compilations to raise awareness on the plight of sharks, Dive Otago received news they would never have imagined possible.
Cuba on Wednesday launched an initiative to protect sharks in some of the most pristine habitat for the predators whose populations have been in steep decline.
The action plan, reached through two years of collaborative research with the New York-based Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), will impose size and capture limits on fishermen, set aside protected areas and create closed seasons for shark-fishing, officials said.
Ghosts, goblins and ghouls may terrify on land, but what scares us most lies beneath the waves. Haunting habitats and endangering marine life, this silent killer doesn't discriminate, and its victims never see it coming. What is it, you ask, that sends shivers down our spines? Marine debris.
Freakier than Freddy Krueger, marine debris kills thousands of ocean animals and seabirds, chokes coral reefs, smothers critical environments and contaminates beaches and dive sites.
Once again, on 24 and 25 October, Birmingham's National Exhibition Centre (NEC) opened its doors to DIVE 2015, the UK's biggest annual event for scuba divers.
From raising awareness of the global marine debris crisis to rallying support for our Dive Against Debris citizen science programme, we had a fantastic weekend at DIVE 2015 doing what we do best: mobilizing the world's divers into a global force to protect the ocean - one dive at a time.
Project AWARE is excited to announce its newest Dive Against Debris Hero: Tim Latimer!
Tim's journey into scuba diving wasn't quite like most. In fact, he never really pursued diving in the first place! When he was in high school, faculty organized a trip to the Bahamas for the students – Tim was dying to go, but there was one small catch: students would be diving on the trip, and it was a requirement for any interested attendees to learn. Though he never had much interest in the sport, Tim reluctantly signed up for a scuba diving course and ended up loving it.
Every day, the scuba community sees firsthand the devastating impact of our trash underwater. And year-round, we're taking action. From reporting marine debris data to protecting vulnerable marine species, scuba divers everywhere are joining forces to ensure that we're working toward a clean, healthy and abundant ocean planet.
A free online course aimed at increasing awareness of, and stimulating creative solutions to marine litter has opened for registration. The Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) will begin on 26 October, 2015.
The Our Ocean 2015 international conference in Chile is less than one week away – October 5-6, and Project AWARE divers are taking action, now more than ever, to fight back against marine debris.
International explorer and 100% AWARE partner Paul Rose joined a Thames foreshore clean up on 30 September and called on Londoners to 'do the right thing' and make sure their rubbish goes in the bin, not in the river.

Cubs Trade Ronny Cedeno; Get Living, Breathing Pitcher in Return
The Cubs moved yet another once-upon-a-time prospect in Ronny Cedeno today, along with left-handed pitcher Garrett Olson to the Seattle Mariners for Aaron Heilman. You'll remember Olson as the pitcher the Cubs received along with Hank Williamson for Felix Pie about a week and a half ago. That makes the net trade:
Cubs get: Hank Williamson, Aaron Heilman
Cubs lose: Ronny Cedeno, Felix Pie
Cedeno's fate was likely sealed when the Cubs acquired Aaron Miles and I'll shed no tears on this loss. Cedeno might be more talented than Ryan Theriot, but he's shown all the baseball intelligence of a junior high dropout. I also find it a bit amusing that the one rookie that Dusty Baker ever gave much of a legitimate shot of playing time to - besides maybe Matt Murton - was Cedeno in 2006. Dusty Baker's eye for talent strikes yet again.
Heilman has been on the Cubs radar for awhile, always known to be a Hendry favorite. The Notre Dame alum had a brutal 2008 season, with a 5.21 ERA for the Mets and was part of the three-team deal for J.J. Putz earlier this offseason. His K/9 rate went up to a nice 9.47 last year, but it went along with a skyrocketing BB/9 rate of 5.45. Fangraphs (using Pitch F/x data) says he throws mostly a fastball and change-up with the occassional slider, while Sportsnet says it's a splitter and fastball with the occasional fastball and change. He has also made it clear on many occasions that he would prefer to be a starter, which is probably why he got shipped out of New York.
Heilman signed a one year, $1.625M deal to avoid arbitration with the Mariners and is set to be a free agent after the 2010 season and the deal cleared a spot on the 40-man roster.
I assume many are worried that moving Garrett Olson means the end of the Jake Peavy sweepstakes for the Cubs, as the Padres made it clear he was a pitcher they desired. I, of course, have no idea if that is true or not. To play devil's advocate, it could mean the Cubs are now willing to move Sean Marshall and covet Aaron Heilman more for that swing-man role. I think that's less likely of a scenario, but it is possible.
In the end, the Cubs moved a useless part (Cedeno) and a promising player with no roster flexibility (Pie) for a pitcher I think is a pretty good bet to bounce back next season. From 2005-2007, Heilman put up ERA's of 3.17, 3.62, and 3.03 with anywhere from 76 to 108 IP. Considering the volatility of relief pitchers, there's certainly a good chance that he can rebound to those levels.
Re: Cubs Trade Ronny Cedeno; Get Living, Breathing
He seems like Jason Marquis with a lower salary and acquired for relatively useless parts. Gives more depth to the starting rotation which is always needed, esp with Harden.
I choose not to look at it versus a possible Peavy trade because we don't know, but suspect that it was going to be an arm and a leg to get him.

Re: pitcher I think is pretty good bet to bounce back next seaso
I hope you're right but your opinion is based on what? Heilman battled tendonitis in his left knee all last season. Is it better?
Re: Cubs Trade Ronny Cedeno
As was mentioned in the previous thread, Heilman was putting up with some tendonitis problems in his knee last season which may have been why he struggled. If I can dig up some more info later today I'll add to this. To get traded (twice) somebody must have been reviewing these medical records and signing off on them.
Re: Cubs Trade Ronny Cedeno; Get Living, Breathing Pitcher in
Heilman is not a starting pitcher. He had success as a reliever in NY, and got shellacked in his run as a starting pitcher.
Cedeno was not much, but now Miles is the one back-up infielder? Ugh..
Re: Cubs Trade Ronny Cedeno;
Ok..who Juan Uribe? And add that to the pile of $$ the Cubs are spending.
What would that cost? Rich Aurillia?? Yikes...

Jerry Manuel: Knee problem has hampered Aaron Heilman all year
BY Adam Rubin
Thursday, September 11th 2008, 4:00 AM
Jerry Manuel offered an alibi for Aaron Heilman's miserable string of outings. The interim manager revealed, and Heilman confirmed, the righty has been dealing with left knee tendinitis since spring training. Manuel said the problem affects Heilman's landing during his delivery and therefore his location.
Heilman surrendered a game-tying two-run homer to Cristian Guzman in the sixth Wednesday night in a 13-10 win over the Nationals.
For his part, Heilman tried to minimize how much it has accounted for his 5.38 ERA. "There were probably a handful of games where I felt it affected me," said Heilman, who has appeared in just two games this month.
Re: Cubs Trade Ronny Cedeno
Isn't tendinitis a recurring problem that never really goes away? And did we really just pick up another injured pitcher? This would be a fine strategy if MLB made an exception and allowed the Cubs to carry another 10 pitchers without it counting towards the 25 man roster limit.
Re: Cubs Trade Ronny Cedeno
You misspelled crunch's name.
And, no, tendinitis is not a chronic condition. I am sure the good doctor can give a more thorough example, but I can fix my achilies' problems by changing shoes.
Re: Cubs Trade Ronny Cedeno
Similarly, I've got some shoulder tendinitis that is just fine as long as I don't do anything like throw a baseball.
Re: Cubs Trade Ronny Cedeno
I've always read that tendinitis is diagnosed when they can't quite figure out exactly what the underlying problem is.
Re: Cubs Trade Ronny Cedeno
also saw this history on Heilman from 2006:
Mets | Heilman has elbow operation
Mon, 23 Oct 2006 23:56:21 -0700
The Associated Press reports New York Mets SP Aaron Heilman (elbow) had surgery Oct. 23 for tennis elbow on his throwing arm.
The KFFL link has a boatload of stuff on Heilman with years of him being involved in trade rumors, one dates back to him being possibly acquired to compete vs Wade Miller for the Cubs 5th starter spot.
Also, it looks like he was getting the LaTroy Hawkins treatment from Met fans last year
Re: Cubs Trade Ronny Cedeno
Heilman was getting racist letters too?
Re: Cubs Trade Ronny Cedeno
Lol....yeah...from Michigan fans??
If he is a solid reliever, great...and if not, again...lots of sound, no fury this offseason..
Re: Cubs Trade Ronny Cedeno;
Heilman was getting racist letters too?
No, anti-Dome hate mail. Most were booing LaTroy just because he sucked as a Cub. The racist stuff was coming from the beyond, probably Commish Kenesaw Mountain Landis' grave.
Re: Dbacks get Garland
Wait...isn't he in our farm system? IS he out of options?
Re: Dbacks get Garland
Re: Dbacks get Garland
Man, you ARE gullible!
Re: Cubs Trade Ronny Cedeno;
There was lots of angry in the last thread about this, but thanks to Rob for summing it up.
Those of us who want Peavy want to be upset because of Olson's name being linked to that trade. Understandable. But I highly doubt Garrett Olson will or won't be the deciding factor in whether or not we get Peavy. Having said that, did we pay a semi-high price for Heilman? Probably. But again, Jim's running out of time and (literally) options.
I wanted badly to see Cedeno succeed, and it never happened, and wasn't going to. Good riddance.
Re: Cubs Trade Ronny Cedeno;
The one reason I will miss Cedeno is the fact that he is the only man I ever saw run the bases as if we were playing a good old fashion game of pitcher's hand. Seriously did he run with his eyes closed? I will NOT miss him.
Re: Cubs Trade Ronny Cedeno;
I don't even know that the price is that high, when you aren't taking Peavy into account. Assuming he gets over the tendonitis, Heilman's a decent pitcher, and Cedeno probably wasn't ever going to get much in return. Olson, well... NOOOO! COME BACK, JAKE!
Another thing that's important is to avoid thinking of this as Pie and Cedeno for Heilman, because then the wrists start bleeding and that's just too messy.
Re: Cubs Trade Ronny Cedeno
I just keep envisioning Hendry on the deck of the Starship Enterprise being suffocated by some devious Klingon weapon..crawling to the command console...just reaching up to press the life saving button..."Must spend money on middle relievers..."
I would have preferred a prospect and Olson.
Seattle got a starting spot for Ronny?
Re: Cubs Trade Ronny Cedeno
yeah Betancourt is no Izturis or Neifi...erm.
Re: Cubs Trade Ronny Cedeno; Get Living, Breathing Pitcher in Re
I've said this several times - but in the fall of 2006, I was THRILLED that Dusty played this speedy, strong-armed, SS with some pop. "We FINALLY have a shortstop!"
Then 2007 came - he was given the gig - and blew it.
Like Rob, and the Dr. Aaron said, we got a living, breathing body for him. I'm fine with it. Who knows what will happen with Garrett Olson.
There are quite a few "If's" on the Cubs 2009 version - add Heilman to the mix.
Just wish he was a lefty. Lou kept the wrong one.
Re: Cubs Trade Ronny Cedeno;
I do worry that Jim has really thinned this roster out quite a bit.
I know its a stretch, but imagine if something along the lines of
-Bradley injury
-Harden injury
-Soriano injury
-Aramis injury
-Theriot/Miles/Fontenot either Don't repeat career year/Continue to suck/Doesn't turn into Micky Morandini 2.0?
I don't know that we have the depth to recover like we've had before.
Backloaded deals almost always come home to roost. And Jim's aversion to confrontation may end up being his undoing.
Re: Cubs Trade Ronny Cedeno;
This ("IF" injury scenarios) has been discussed ad nauseum. Ultra 3/44.
Now we may add a Heilman injury, too.
Re: Cubs Trade Ronny Cedeno;
I'd say more than 50% of that list is a foregone conclusion, E-Man
It harkens back to the good old days of peciling in Wood and Prior at the front of the rotation.
I can't wait until the "When Milton Bradley comes off the DL. It will be like making a deadline trade" routine.
As of today, without Peavy. This club could be anywhere from a 92-75 win Club.
Re: Cubs Trade Ronny Cedeno;
And with Peavy we'd be a 97 to 69 win club, but with $80 million more of backloaded contracts. What's the point?
Re: Cubs Trade Ronny Cedeno;
I am starting to agree with this point of view. For the money, and cost in talent, I don't think Peavy improves us enough to justify the 5 useful bodies it would take, particularly Vitters and Castillo. Two way catchers are too hard to come by, and while you can debate the Cubs dubious record on developing front end talent, we really have not had a prospect like Vitters since I don't know when. And we won't be drafting #3 again any time soon. Marshall is a good #5, and cheap, and left handed, so has a lot of value.
But there are no teams in competition with us to land him, due to his no trade clause. They are stuck with him unless we agree to a trade. Hendry should apply the full leverage of this negotiating position if a deal is to be struck.
Re: Cubs Trade Ronny Cedeno;
Wait... you mean that if the a baseball team lost four of their best players, they would struggle?
Re: Cubs Trade Ronny Cedeno;
No reason to be glib here Matt Lauer
you know that on most teams the chances of that happening to four of their best players are much lower.
Re: Cubs Trade Ronny Cedeno; Get Living, Breathing Pitcher in Re

Re: Cubs Trade Ronny Cedeno; Get Living, Breathing Pitcher
Re: Cubs Trade Ronny Cedeno; Get Living, Breathing Pitcher in Re
found this ironic tidbit in a Will Carroll (Baseball Prospectus) column from 7/30/06:
The Mets haven't made the most of Aaron Heilman. Once expected to be a rotation fixture, the pitcher has instead found a home in the bullpen. He could find a home closer to his midwest roots if the information I got from a Mets official pans out. I'm told that the Mets are discussing shipping Heilman to the Cardinals in return for free-agent-to-be Jason Marquis.
Re: Cubs Trade Ronny Cedeno; Get Living, Breathing Pitcher in Re
Unfortunately I can't find anything more specific on Heilman's tendonitis other than it was his left knee.
Tendonitis means inflammation of a tendon and there are several around the knee. The largest two are the quadriceps tendon (which inserts into the patella/kneecap) and the patellar tendon (which goes from the patella to the tibia below the knee) both are common. There are also hamstrings (medial or lateral) and even the gastrocnemius which is more of a calf muscle but the tendons go behind and above the knee attaching to the femur.
My guess is it was a patellar tendonitis as it's probably the most common of these conditions. In a pitcher, this would a significant problem for both push off and landing from a mound. Heilman played through it most of the season meaning it was nagging but not incapacitating . It wasn't disclosed to the press until the 2nd week in September where there are multiple articles (see the link above for one of these) explaining why they hadn't used him as much in early September. Of course blowing 5 of 8 save opportunities might just be a better excuse to skip calling him from the pen.
I'm sure they had MRI imaging on him as that would be useful to rule additional conditions inside the knee that might make the tendonitis a secondary problem (like a torn meniscus). The treatment is the usual rest and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, better shock absorption in shoes. Therapy includes stretching and controlled exercises also various heat modalities to the inflammed area. In a pitcher it's unlikely to resolve until enough rest can occur, which means the off-season.
He didn't have this in 2007 so I'd expect him to be OK in 2009. I saw that he did have right (his pitching elbow) tennis elbow surgery immediately after the season on 10-23-06 by Dr. David Altchek (he's quite famous in Sports Ortho, who did similar surgery on Carlos Delgado that same week) and although it's obviously unrelated to his knee issues it is an example of a chronic tendonitis that rarely needs surgery but ultimately he needed it (and presumably got better from the surgery). His stats in 2006 (74 games, 3.62 ERA, 1.16 WHIP) were better than 2008 (78G, 5.21 ERA, 1.59 WHIP) so I guess it was the same nagging thing but he put up with it pretty well. He probably had a bunch of therapy, ultrasound/deep heat rxs and a few cortisone shots for it before the elbow surgery.
Patellar tendonitis can be chronic (which isn't all that common) and then the tendon can be surgically explored or consideration to ultrasonic shockwave rx, which is more often used to treat resistant plantar fascitis (arch inflammation). A variant on such an example of surgical treatment of a chronic tendonitis was the chronic achilles tendonitis in Cliff Floyd who had surgery (also at the same hospital/same week that Heilman had surgery, but a different surgeon) on it the offseason before he signed with the Cubs. Of course if you have HMO insurance like Neal, they just tell you to change shoes.
Re: Cubs Trade Ronny Cedeno; Get Living, Breathing Pitcher in Re
I wasn't on an HMO either time it happened. Both times I got it, I was living in Europe (London and CPH) and doing pretty lenghty walks 3 KM's or 5 KM's each way to work in dress shoes. I'd already partaken in socialistic medicine in both those countries so decided to forgo it if possible.
Doc Martins fixed it in London. In Copenhagen I just started wearing tennis shoes to work and changed at the office.
Re: Cubs Trade Ronny Cedeno; Get Living, Breathing Pitcher in Re
just kidding Neal...
Re: Cubs Trade Ronny Cedeno; Get Living, Breathing Pitcher in Re
NY Times article on Heilman...nothing earthshattering but upbeat
Re: Cubs Trade Ronny Cedeno; Get Living, Breathing Pitcher
Does anyone feel that Orlando Hudson would significantly improve our middle inf?
Miles/Theriot/Fontenot just doesnt do it for me. Theriot played well everyday last year, but we could use more D and Offense out of that spot. And Miles and Fonty have never played everyday.
At this point Hudson is getting screwed with the #1 Pick compensation which I cringe at giving up, but it is pick 29. Its possible Hudson could be had for 6m/yr? Switch hitter, gold glove D?
Our farm system is so thin, I just don't see any other options.
Re: Cubs Trade Ronny Cedeno; Get Living, Breathing Pitcher
Theriot and Fontenot seem like pretty good other options.
Hudson doesn't appear to improve our defensive shortcomings at SS, as far as I can tell.
Re: Cubs Trade Ronny Cedeno; Get Living, Breathing Pitcher in Re
one more little detail I noticed from the Rosenthal article on the Heilman-Cedeno/Olson trade:
Hendry completed the deal while on vacation in Italy.
"He's got to feel pretty good about the deal — we finally solidified it when he was in Rome," Zduriencik said, chuckling.
Re: Cubs Trade Ronny Cedeno; Get Living, Breathing Pitcher in Re
What? Why didn't he give me a call? We could have gone out for donuts (zeppole).
Seriously, why was he here? Surely not vacation.
Re: Cubs Trade Ronny Cedeno; Get Living, Breathing Pitcher in Re
I'm satisfied with Pie + Cedeno for Heilman, because I don't think anything of Ron Ce. Heilman has a track record of ML success, he had a bad year, looks like the Cubs buy low on someone for once. A 4th OF (Pie) with no plate discipline for a better version of Jason Marquis? I'll take that.
Now if Hendry can just eat a million bucks and dump Vizcaino off on someone, he'll be doing much better here. We have more pitching depth than just about any team in baseball.
I like the talk about Orlando Hudson BTW, push Fonty into a reserve role with Miles, that would make the bench look a lot better. And Hudson could leadoff, no? A slightly inferior version of Brian Roberts at the cost of a single draft choice and 8 million bucks? Do it.
Re: Cubs Trade Ronny Cedeno; Get Living, Breathing Pitcher in Re
I concur with both of you on Hudson.
Bats Lefthanded. Gold Glove defense. Perennial 800+ OPS guy from 2nd base. Could probably be had with a One year incentive clad contract.
Plus we can offer him arbitration next year and get the draft pick back.
I sure as hell like him more than Aaron F'N Miles
Re: Cubs Trade Ronny Cedeno; Get Living, Breathing Pitcher...
Count me in on Hudson. I agree with both of the previous posts. I've generally enjoyed watching Hudson play.
Re: Cubs Trade Ronny Cedeno; Get Living, Breathing Pitcher in Re
I'd have been all about getting Hudson instead of Miles + Gathright + Vizcaino. But where is the $8 mil gonna come from? Especially if, further down the road, they're going to entertain thoughts of Peavy?
I think the infield, after Uribe, is set.
Re: Cubs Trade Ronny Cedeno; Get Living, Breathing Pitcher in Re
If Hudson will cost 6 and Uribe will cost 4 then it really should be a no brainer.
Re: Cubs Trade Ronny Cedeno; Get Living, Breathing Pitcher in Re
I'd be surprised if Uribe gets a guaranteed roster spot. I'd be flabbergasted if he gets $4 million.
Re: Cubs Trade Ronny Cedeno; Get Living, Breathing Pitcher in Re
I know it gets beaten to death. But prime example of what Hendry does with his finances of the team. Which is better in your opinion?
A) Hudson,Fontenot,Cedeno,Koyie Hill,Pie
B) Miles,Fontenot,Uribe,Bako,Gathright
With a little bit of planning. Jim could have had either/or for about the same money
Re: Cubs Trade Ronny Cedeno; Get Living, Breathing Pitcher in Re
you missed a "." in the fonty money in a.
Re: Cubs Trade Ronny Cedeno; Get Living, Breathing Pitcher in Re
Heilman 1.625 in arbitration wouldn't have been added. So there is another 800K to close the gap.
I said about the same. In today's cubbie dollars. 1 million dollars shouldn't be a deal breaker.
Were paying that much to watch Jason Marquis pitch in Colorado.

I don't hate Coghlan as a PHer but he's leading off today which is as bad as Austin Jackson doing so last year. He doesn't even have the speed.
TLS has options. He will be up again in Sept, and maybe earlier.
Very odd -- TLS .308/.419 in July (in 26 AB). Strange move for a team struggling to score runs. Hard to imagine Coghlan doing better than that. Maybe they like Coghlan better as a PH?
Sorry to nitpick -- but the first game wasn't a save.
Wow La Stella sent to Iowa and Coghlan brought up. I'm not a huge Stella fan but he has been hitting lately and is to me better than Coghlan. Neither are good defensively but I guess Coghlan can play the outfield allowing Bryant to stay at 3rd more where he's better.
Not 2nd to last but Cubs are definitely bottom of the pack in the 2nd half in oWAR and wRC+. #1 in dWAR though which is certainly a good sign for the playoffs.
I was going to say that you wouldn't want Heyward to achieve Soriano's OBP--.317 with the Cubs--but now I see that he's already done that. Pitchers have lost their fear of him.
Oh, well, at least Chapman seems to be as good as advertised.
Thanks to E-man and Quiet Man for the link on Chapman in a previous post. It's funny because I never really noticed Chapman's delivery until I saw him doing it in a blue uniform. Two saves in a Cubs uniform already. I hope they don't need him today, despite that smooth delivery.
Cubs are middle of the pack in average, 5th in OPS, 2nd in walks, 4th in runs scored in MLB. Their runs scored ranks 17th in the MLB in July.
Boston, leading everything, continues to rake in July.
Lester has given up one run or fewer in 11 starts this year. So I'd answer yes. Three of his last four starts were duds, yes. Not worried about him at all. Arrieta is concerning, to be sure. I look it at as, what he was doing was historic, so the regression was bound to happen. He showed in his start against the Mets that he's still capable, and I'd bet on him regaining his form.
marlins getting a.cashner and c.rea from SD
This is not an attack...But In what stat are the Cubs second from last in MLB, in hitting? I don't see this.
How odd the stats:
Cubs 1st in pitching in MLB
2nd to last in hitting.
In May they were 1st in both.
trevor clifton (high-A) could be interesting in a couple seasons...could even become a high/middle rotation guy. he's got a lot of pluses in his pitching except control.
eric leal's (high-A) progression through the minors should be worth watching even if only projects to be an mid/end-rotation starter.
we also gotta keep a long-distance eye on guys like jose paulino (ss-A) and preston morrison (A).
As Johnny Bach used to say when it was time for the MJ Bulls to crank up the defensive pressure: "Release the Dobermans!", and Jordan, Pippen, Rodman and Harper would just suffocate the other team.
I'd love to add Carl Jr. to that group - he's got the stuff.
Historically, the Moneyball guys have been great at identifying productive hitters. Not so much with pitchers.

Somchai Neelapaijit
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (June 2012) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Somchai Neelapaijit (Thai - สมชาย นีละไพจิตร) (May 13, 1951 – last seen in 2004), a Thai Muslim-lawyer and human rights activist who "disappeared" on March 12, 2004 during Thaksin Shinawatra's regime. Strongly suspected to be deceased, he is still the subject of an investigation launched in 2004. Ousted Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra is believed by many interested in the case to have played a part in Somchai's disappearance and probable murder. Though his body has not found, the motive is thought to have been Somchai's representing Muslim defendants in terrorism cases. The day after Somchai's disappearance, concerns were publicly raised. In response, Thaksin said, "Oh, don't worry. I understand he had a fight with his wife, and will probably be back home in a day or two."[this quote needs a citation]
Prime minister's acknowledgement of government officials' involvement in death[edit]
In 2014 the Bangkok Post reported, "In January 2006, the court acquitted four of the accused but convicted Pol Major Ngern of the relatively minor charge of coercion. Then-prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra made a significant statement a day after the court verdict acknowledging that Somchai was dead and government officials were implicated".[1]
Later developments[edit]
In late 2013 the Thai Department of Special Investigation said the police file of the case had gone missing, but later claimed it had been found.[2] The actual status of the case and even which department is handling it is still unknown, although ten years has passed since Somchai's disappearance.[3]
The case of the (probable) death of Somchai Neelaphaijit has not been solved.

Painters to me are very important, we can learn a lot looking at ones from the past. I also wonder if photography had been available would they have been photographers as well, here is one painter that I think might have been. I don't know that Jan Vermeer would have been a photographer exclusively, but I could imagine he would have taken many photos for his painting. We know that he used new things like the camera obscura, so I don't think it is implausible to think he would have used a camera.
I know people will disagree with me, I find there is something very photographic about his images. He is described as a Dutch Baroque Painter from that period, he was born in 1632 and died 1675. He lived a short life.
There is something about the ordinary in his work. The way he tried to capture everyday life and the people around him. In the movie "Girl with a Pearl Earring" they depict him as setting up scenes and putting models in them while he did a lot of the background painting, and looking at his perspective and attention to detail, I suspect that part was very true. It is believed he used the camera obscura to get the perspective correct.
In the movie they say this is the maid, but I don't think they actually know who it is. We do know that it is one of his most recognisable paintings. Whether because of the movie or not. Most people know of this painting.
I think his style is quite unique and there is something about how he paints that really grabs my attention. I love his subject matter, the ordinary, in so many ways, and it is great for us that someone like him has given that to us, a glimpse into everyday life of the 17th century.
This sort of scene is something I go out with my camera to try and capture. The town with the river, and the beautiful light.I don't know if it is morning or evening, but have always assumed it is meaning.
It is easy for us to sit back and wonder what he would have been had he been born a century or two later, but I feel confident saying, he would have loved photography. Of course, that doesn't mean he wouldn't still have painted, there are many painters now that also enjoy photography as well.
I found a great website with lots of information about Vermeer, it is Essential Vermeer. Now here is a gallery for you to look at.

Vote Count 4.Final (aka the "1 down, 2 to go" vote count)
Lynch Votes:
Eagle4: LightWolf, Snaquaza, Metal Sonic, Blackhawk11 Lynched with Majority)
Following the unfortunate suicide of Celever, you decided to take his advice and lynch Eagle4.
Now's the correct time for me to give you a lesson about getting yourself godkilled: it rarely, rarely works. Barring some kind of absurd "I'M A FUCK TIGER" scenario, usually you just die for no significant gain.
Or do you?
Okay, so much for the teachable moment.
It is now Night 4. All actions are valid; tomorrow will still be a LYLO or MYLO situation if my calculations are correct.
Godammit celever e_e
gg wrekd
thank your role blocker for me
just saying that wasn't "at least twelve hours"
A new day dawns over Hyrule Town, brighter than yesterday - is it because Ganondorf has been defeated? Anyways, there is still more work to do; there are two more evil-willing creatures among you. Not everyone shows up in the square, however - LightWolf is absent. You check out his shack, and the door has been blown open, but there's no LightWolf to be found, though. A scream follows, from the other side of town. You head over to check it out, and find LightWolf, tied up and trampled by bullbos. In his hand, he clenches a note:
Who would have guessed that your princess was living in a shack right next to you? The economic crisis has struck Hyrule too, folks.
There's not time to chill now, as there is still mafia to be lynched. You gather in the town square, where you notice Blackhawk11 staring up at the sky. You recognize the look on his face, remember this is exactly what celever did yesterday, and sigh - Blackhawk11 won't be of much use to the town with his mind clouded in Twilight. No votes out of him today.
The players in the town square are:
1. Aura Guardian
2. Blackhawk11
8. Fire Blast Snaquaza
11. Metal Sonic
15. Yoshinite
Dead players (10):
0. shinyskarmory - Role PM Template - Vanilla Town - Godkilled day 0 for posting his role PM
1. Box - Ooccoo - Vanilla Town (retroactively changed to Neutral Survivor) - Godkilled and lost Day 1 for a severe Rule 1 violation
2. CB Terrakion - Malo - Vanilla Town - Lynched Day 1 with L-2.
3. Woodchuck - Postman - Village Tracker - Trampled by Bullbos Night 1
4. Cereza - Fyer - Vanilla Town - Lynched Day 2 with L-4
5. Gronkasaurus Rex - Ilia - Vanilla Town - Sliced to pieces Night 2
6. theangryscientist Meowmixx - Yeto - Vanilla Town - Lynched Day 3
7. Obbmud99 - Auru - Hyrule Mason - Sucked into Twilight Night 3
8. celever - Midna - Hyrule Convict - Godkilled for speaking while engulfed in Twilight Day 4
9. Eagle4 - Ganondorf - Twilight Role Cop - Lynched with majority Day 4
10. LightWolf - Zelda - Hyrule Safeguard - Trampled by bullbos Night 4
With five alive, it takes three to reach majority. Fair warning to everyone - FoS votes are going to be of huge importance today, as a tie in votes will result in a random lynch as of rule 5.
LYLO is active. Lynching a Hylian will end the game.
No deadline has been set yet. Please be active.
It is now Day 5. Feel free to post.
PS anyone who can change the thread title?
I shall change the thread title alright
we can't proceed on from here, its a deadlock!!!!
who invented a silence in a beginner NOC game???? ._______.
okay you know what
i got idea
I will grab the dead body of "godkilled" box, a neutral survivor
and use his vote
to give me 2 votes
Vote:Aura Guardian
Box and my vote on AG, thanks
seriously a multiple-silence in a beginner NOC
fancy stuff
Fos:Aura Guardian
if this really seriously comes down to a dice roll
this just shows that hax follows you everywhere
and i'll be content with just calling out the mafia(given that celever gave us a hint of course)
Hey, if you wanted the game to be easier, you shouldn't have lynched three villagers before getting to the mafia.
metal sonic needed a challenge
but silencer in a NOc is just... borked
but i wont complain.. .yet, until we actually see the real picture
keep going
Metal Sonic, did your role work this time?
i town hunted light wolf
as he said
as i predicted wont work
I'd like to point out that you can't FoS the guy you're voting as per a host ruling back in, like, day 1. So MS can only vote me and FoS yoshinte rather than vote me and FoS both me and yoshinite.
Erm MS why are you suspicious of me, Eagle4 was against me and i was against him for a while, so FoS Metal Sonic
Along with random voting
AG is posting without substance way to much lately, do FoS AG
if you are town, vote AG
if you are not town but you don't want anybody to find out, vote AG
maybe you can trick us the next day
snaquaza please vote ag
Vote Metal Sonic
FoS's to come later. Funny that MS is not nagging yoshinite.
No AG you hate me y.
Vote AG
Srry that i couldnt reach this place earlier, but anyway lynch aura guardian
Explenation and more scumreads in abou three hours
Srry that i couldnt reach this place earlier, but anyway lynch aura guardian

Stern and his V for Vendetta strikes again. Fight the power, Larry!Hide replies
Larry's desigated handler, Mike Fun3V, got there a little late to shoo him away from Crawford. Hey!!!! let's hear it for that 'dEEp' bLazer bench, Charlie Babbit aand a bunch of assorted RainMen.
Larry is selfish. He has NO common sense. Wish his brain was hooked up to his body. He has talent...Hide replies
I was at the game- Larry pleaded his case in a reasonable way and then was hit with a T, then he was a bit more unreasonable and Crawford threw him out. He didn't warrant getting tossed. I like the way Sanders plays- lots of emotion. Great win tonight...
He knows he is a target. Like his energy, but his energy does nothing for them in the locker room. I like him as a person; seems very genuine. Like him as a player; defense as he is playing it is rare.
But the Bucks should suspend him for a game, regardless of what the NBA does. They (and he) can't allow this to come to define him.
And why does Ellis insist on shooting 3's? He can't make them, so why bother. Take it to the rim.Hide replies
Monta make them all.
he was a volume sh00ter in a red jersey
justifies his bad shot selection
just one l00k, it's a bad mess
cause that Monstah sh00ter make them all.
Bucks win on the road trumps anonymous whine anytime.
The Bucks won't win very often if it is OK to have Sanders tossed in the third quarter, bp11. You can't allow a win to stop you from correcting egregious mistakes.
if that's egregious steady eddie, why didn't Doc suspend Garnett for runnin his mouth @ Melo? or calling Charlie V a cancer patient........on and on and on. You don't sit your best defender because of a lapse of conciousness, If the bux would have lost last night I'm sure Larry would have gotten the message.........as it was........he probably will stay clear of Crawford in the future. Case closed!!!
Crawford has always liked to flaunt his authoritie.
Quote of the day: "You can't allow a win to stop you from correcting egregious mistakes." That could be taken for SO MANY things!
Honestly, this makes me like Sanders even more.
Sanders needs the Wizard of Oz to help him as he did the Scarecrow.
I love Sanders energy also. Always have. However, he argues EVERY call against him, even though probably over 95% of them are correct calls. Doesn't Larry realize the referees never change a call?Hide replies
I love Sanders, but I don't think there are many things that he realizes.

However if I connect the WD TV to my iMac directly via ethernet (no router), all my movies stutter considerably and are unwatchable. These are not big files either, 700mb 2 hour avi's. I borrowed a friends DWA-160 wireless usb stick (this time going through my router) and have the same issue, everything stutters like crazy and is unwatchable. I stream movies from my iMac to my Macbook Air all the time without any issue. So it seems the WD TV Live is the problem, I've updated the firmware.. I don't understand what the issue is, no one else seems to have issues with stuttering unless they run out of bandwidth because they're streaming 20 gig files. I can't even stream over ethernet.. help!

Product Liability and Moral Hazard: Evidence from General Aviation
Product liability law reduces the costs of accidents to consumers, thus reducing their incentives to invest in safety. We estimate the impact of tort liability on a subset of consumers who have significant control over the probability of an accident: the consumers of general aviation aircraft. The General Aviation Revitalization Act of 1994 exempted manufacturers of small aircraft from product liability claims when their aircraft reached 18 years of age. We use the exemption at age 18 to estimate the impact of tort liability on accidents as well as on a wide variety of behaviors and safety investments by pilots and owners. The results are consistent with moral hazard. When an aircraft is exempted from tort liability, the probability that the aircraft will be involved in an accident declines. Direct evidence of pilots' and owners' behavior is also consistent with moral hazard.

It's always good entertainment when critics get passionate about something they haven't seen. Rudy Giuliani, meet Regina Hackett. She's your kind of girl.
The truth is, on a deep level, critics love criticism. And Regina keeps it coming to me.
This time, she's so irritated with me for panning SuttonBeresCuller's recent performance—which happened while she was out of town—that she takes the opportunity to slam me (once again) on her blog. (My review of the performance first appeared in longer form on Slog.)
First, she says, I don't know criticism from insults. This from the critic who wrote, in direct retort to Sheila Farr (who'd gotten an exclusive preview and written an incisive review of Paul Allen's art collection that made Regina's review look late and weak in comparison): "Those who think the container cancels out the pleasures of the art contained need a checkup from the neck up." That sentence still cracks me up.
(My other favorite Hackettism was her blog post about my being wrong in my criticism of SBC's boat in the biennial at Tacoma Art Museum. She cited the responses of local critics to the work—questioning the credibility of one of those critics along the way—and decided that the vote was in: 2 out of 3 critics say the boat is good, so it must be! Take that, Graves!)
In this latest case, it's not just that I don't know from criticism. It's also that I don't know from genius. Because I question the quality of recent work by SBC, I would also have hated John Cage, Merce Cunningham, and Morris Graves back when they were enlivening Seattle. Because—to quote once again from the review Regina wrote in 2005—John Sutton, Ben Beres, and Zac Culler are the reincarnation of Cage, Cunningham, and Graves.
Welcome back, Regina. I could spend all day trading barbs with you, it's so much fun. But I have to get back to the business of criticizing art rather than another critic—until next time, that is. See you on the flip side of another battle, lady.

Good drawing, by the way
I was wondering if you could get me a link to the Fic. I've been trying for some time to figure out who made this OC.
Like how the style isn't just a mixture of octavia and scratches dew, flares off into its own little strokes!
nice work, I could see this on one of those OBEY or BUCK or what have you posters you know red white and blue...
Blackjack... calm? Composed? Not covered in scars, blood and the stress lines brought about by existential angst and lack of sleep? Impossible!
But seriously. This is very good.
But seriously. This is very good.
You going to do Lil pip next cause I would love to have lil pip like this as my wallpaper! this is just awesome!
It's nice to see a Blackjack that isn't so "butch".
In addition to "Yay Blackjack!" I do have to say, you've nailed the "artistic style" of those you based it on very well! Good job!
I very much enjoy your art style. You really made Blackjack pop here.
She looks peaceful. THAT IS WRONG!
neat picture ^^

Jaguar considers Saudi plant
Jaguar Land Rover hope to tap into the country's vast oil wealth
Jaguar Land Rover is considering opening a manufacturing plant in Saudi Arabia to tap into the country's vast oil wealth. The Independent says that the carmaker - now Indian owned - has already started building a plant in Shanghai and is currently considering which of its models would be best suited to the Saudi market.
Dr Ralf Speth, JLR's chief executive, said: "We are committed to further international partnerships to meet record demand... The kingdom of Saudi Arabia is an attractive potential development option, complementing our existing advanced facilities in Britain."

The Broadmoor Seven Falls
For those who want to dive into nature and are looking for attractions in Colorado, The Broadmoor Seven Falls is now open. Take 224 steps up a magnificent series of waterfalls located in a 1,250-foot-wall box canyon. These steps lead to hiking trails and the banks of the glistening streams that feed the 181-foot drop of falling water at the falls. If you're looking for great sightseeing in Colorado Springs, Seven Falls is the only Colorado waterfall included on National Geographic's list of international wonders.
Broadmoor Soaring Adventure
For those who are seeking adventure, The Broadmoor Soaring Adventure zip-lines are now open. This one-of-a-kind Colorado experience features two thrilling zip-lines. Located outside Seven Falls, The Broadmoor Soaring Adventure consists of 10 zip-lines that range in distance from 250 feet to 1,800 feet as well as moderate hiking, rope bridges, and a rappel that provide stunning views of the canyon. The Woods Course cruises over pines, creeks, valleys, a natural granite arch, Midnight Falls, and the trails leading to the falls. The Fins Course soars above steep drops, unique rock formations and jagged cliffs, and across Seven Falls Canyon.
Restaurant 1858
The newest Broadmoor dining experience is every bit as unique as its location and setting. The restaurant, named 1858 for the year the Colorado gold rush began, is situated at the newly reimagined and reopened Broadmoor Seven Falls. Surrounded by the area's extraordinary natural grandeur, the rustic design of 1858 fits into its scenic setting beautifully, featuring hand-hewn stone, reclaimed barn wood and large wooden beams. This uniquely Colorado theme is carried through in the interior décor and menu. 1858 can accommodate up to 100 guests in the main dining area; patio and bar seating is also available.
Hours of operation vary during seasonal hours. Please contact reservations before dining at (844) 843-1858 to ensure reservation times are available.

Explosion In Nigeria Hits Gathering Of World Cup Fans
An explosion has rocked a northeastern Nigeria town where people had gathered to watch World Cup soccer on television, security officials say.
There were reports of casualties, but it was not immediately clear how many or whether anyone had been killed. Reuters quotes witnesses to the blast at the town of Damaturu, the capital of Yobe state, as saying they saw several trucks carry bodies to a local hospital.
"Open-air viewing centres - where people pay to watch live football - are popular throughout Nigeria.
"However, the Nigerian authorities have warned residents in some states to avoid public screenings of the World Cup, fearing militant attacks.
"On Thursday, the north-eastern state of Adamawa ordered all venues planning to show live coverage of the football tournament to close, saying they had received intelligence of planned bomb attacks.
"The states of Borno, Yobe and Adamawa have been under a state of emergency since May 2013. At least 2,000 people have died in the north-east since Boko Haram launched an insurgency in 2009.
"Analysts say Islamist militant groups, including Boko Haram, have described football as un-Islamic."
Update at 8:10 p.m. ET.
NPR's Ofeibea Quist-Arcton reports that "Earlier this month, more than a dozen people were killed in a bomb explosion targeting another popular, informal soccer watching venue in northeastern Nigeria."

San Bernardino Says Calpers Is Largest Unsecured Creditor
San Bernardino, the third California city to seek bankruptcy protection since June, listed the state's Public Employees' Retirement System as its biggest unsecured creditor, owed about $143.3 million, according to a bankruptcy court filing.
The city also asked the court to set a deadline of Sept. 21 for creditors to challenge San Bernardino's eligibility to seek bankruptcy protection. The court has scheduled Oct. 3 for a status hearing on any objections it receives, while a first hearing on the city's bankruptcy case is yet to be held.
San Bernardino showed the amount owed to Calpers for its unfunded pension costs in a filing of its 20 largest unsecured creditors, which collectively are owed about $281.4 million. The city also owes about $46.1 million on pension obligation bonds, and $3.3 million is owed to Public Agency Retirement Services of Newport Beach, California, for unfunded pensions.
Unsecured debt related to pensions totaled about $192.8 million, according to court documents.
San Bernardino filed for municipal bankruptcy Aug. 1 after disclosing a $46 million shortfall in the city's budget. The city of 209,000 about 60 miles (97 kilometers) east of Los Angeles, listed assets and debt of more than $1 billion in a filing with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Riverside, California.
The case is In re San Bernardino, 12-28006, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Central District of California (Riverside).
