are you sure its not just really clear cause its new?
Are you sure you put oil in it
Just bought this truck and this is my first oil change that I've done. It's a 2003 Chevy 4.8 4x4. I put in 6 full quarts of Mobil 1 and it doesn't register at all on the dipstick. Not sure what is up with it, all I can think of is maybe it has a bigger oilpan than others. It registered full before the change.
Am I right that it's suppose to hold 6qts?
***no oil on driveway - registers 40lbs pressure - motor hasnt blown yet***

yep, positive it's in there. I can start it up and it's all over the stick, and it's good and clean. I'll get a few more quarts tomorrow and see what fills it up. Dipstick looks stock.
check the owners manual and see how many it says you're suppose to put in there. too much oil can be a problem when it starts foaming up.
How much did you drain out when it was reading correctly on the stick?
mine takes 6 quarts and it registers halfway on the dipstick with mobil one.
O2 GMC RCSB 4.8L V8 AUTO 3.73's
rebuilt/beefed up 4L60E(at 43,000miles)
I wouldn't put more than 6 qts in there....
I'm not sure how much drained, filled the drain pan though. I will measure how much the drain pan holds in the morning. A few other things I noticed when I changed oil is that the filter I took off was larger (taller) than the filter I put on. I will get the model numbers in the morning. Also, my oil pressure is running a little higher (gets closer to 60psi on take off), probably the smaller filter.
The owners manual on Chevy's website said 6qts. I've checked my options in the glove box and do have the 4.8L. I am curious how much oil a 5.3 and 6.0 hold.

4.8, 5.3,6.0 liter all hold 6 qts. If it's a stock 4.8, with no addons like a bigger oil pan etc. Then it takes 6 qts. As far as the oil filter goes, some 2wds take the smaller filter, and some of the 4wds take the longer one. Same filter diameter. SHould make no diffrence in the oil quanity. I wouldn't put any more oil in there. It's probably either really clean or you could have a "brain fart" and put 5 in there.

Even the 8.1 only holds 7 quarts so no I wouldn't go dumping more oil in it. Somethings wrong.

someone else with a 4.8 needs to measure their tube and stick length, so you can compare

nope, pretty careful with my new truck w/50k miles on it and I put (one) 5qt jug and (one) 1qt 'bottle', so noway it could only be 5qts in there. I will go compare parts (dipstick and pan) with another truck asap. everything seems to be fine with 6qts for now. The guy that had it has added a few things so no telling whats on it as it went thru two dealers before it got to me. i will have to look for aftermarket oil cooler and stuff also.Originally Posted by grantfire319
Thanks for the info so far.
The 4.8 just takes 6 quarts like everyone else said, the higher pressure is because of the smaller filter(I noticed that on mine as well). Are you sure you are putting the dipstick in all the way? Drain the oil into something clean and measure it and make sure you put 6 quarts in before you go adding more oil into. Then you will know for sure how much you put in.
EDIT: I'd measure mine, but it's kinda pouring outside.
This may sound dumb, but anyway, are you sure it was a 5qt jug? I use Pennzoil and their "jugs" are a gallon=4 qts. Just eliminating the obvious stuff.Originally Posted by Jeremy11
Used to own a FSC, now I just have my extremely old Buick.
Have some perspective please. Thank you.

only half way, i do oil changes every day on 4.8s, 5.3s, and 6.0s, both the 4.8, and 5.3 show just a tad over with 6 when i do it, right on the full line with a 6.0. and a litre is just a tad less than a quart, .945ml is a quart.Originally Posted by NEUMANNZZ

Drained out all the oil. put oil in the new oil filter. & my change engine oil still comes on & no oil on the dipstick. its rly weird. i wantd to add more but dont think i will after readin this.

Seneca Falls, NY -- Everything at Empire Farm Days is done in a BIG way.
The annual show is on 300 -- count 'um -- 300 acres of farmland owned by the Rodman Lott and Son Farm. There are tents, exhibit buildings and people as far as the eye can see.
And where there aren't tents, there are tractors, and tillers, and combines, and hay choppers. There are silos and cow stalls and concrete feeders and windmills.
Oh, did I mention tractors. There are tractors of every imaginable size, shape and color. There are some with front end loaders and some with backhoes. The biggest one I saw was a Challenger that has a full operational weight of 60,000 pounds and tires that seemed about two stories high.
That tractor cost $300,000!
There were good eats -- chicken, beef and pork barbecue. I indulged in a pulled pork barbecue sandwich and salt potatoes. And a bottled water that I actually wanted to pour over my head.
It was a tad hot walking around the show grounds. A cool breeze ever once in a while helped, but not quite enough.
I recommend getting out to this show if you can. It's the 75th year and I'm told there are many new technological advances to see, such as demonstrations on Global Positioning Systems, a plastics baler, and an Ask the Experts area in the Cornell building where you can get advice on just about anything right from the horses' mouths.
There also exhibits of antique tractors if nostalgia is your thing. And there are displays from colleges like Morrisville, agricultural organizations like Farm Bureau and the American Dairy Association complete with a dairy princess and ag publications like Country Folks and Farming Magazine.
Empire Farm Days continues Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. It is at the Rodman Lott and Son Farm on Route 414 just south of the village of Seneca Falls. Admission is free, parking is $5.

We thought neutering would stop him from peeing in the house but it hasn't. Medical issues have been ruled out by our vet. He also has a problem with chewing things. Do you think he'll grow out of these problems? We never had a puppy this hard to housebreak. HELP!
Renee – Middletown
Dear Renee:
Some dogs are more challenging to housetrain than others. But I see one big problem with your training method. Praising and rewarding Dizzy after returning indoors only tells him he has to come inside to get a treat and be cuddled by his humans. Dogs associate things with the moment. After about two seconds you've lost the opportunity for him to connect the reward with eliminating outside.
Many dogs learn to ring a bell to signal their desire to go out. And it's adorable. But think like a dog, and there are lots of reasons to enjoy the great outdoors other than pottying. The smells and sounds of spring appeal to any dog's heightened senses. He may trot around the yard, take a few whiffs, bark at a neighbor and decide he'd better hightail it inside to get his treat!
Accompany him to the yard armed with bite-sized goodies and reward him immediately on the spot after he goes. If he is crate trained, use this marvelous tool to restrict his freedom indoors and get him on a strict potty schedule. Or else tether him to your waist so you can catch him in the act and get him outdoors the second he lifts his leg. Do not punish or yell at him harshly, just get him OUT.
He's both a male and a scent hound. Neutering alone won't block his desire to mark vertical objects, especially those he's already scented. Imagine his confusion. "This chair smells more like urine than the trees and bushes outside, so I guess I go here."
Use an enzymatic cleaner and odor neutralizer such as Nature's Miracle to thoroughly remove odors from carpet and upholstery he's marked.
At 8 months he's likely still teething and needs appealing, long lasting toys to satisfy his craving to chew, such as stuffed Kongs and hard bones. Beagles bore easily, so be sure to give him plenty of exercise and mental stimulation.
Dizzy will likely outgrow the chewing, but the housetraining will require vigilance and consistency on your part. Good luck!

In the beginning, Tom Izzo seemed to be set on three players for 2014: Cliff Alexander, Tyus Jones and Jahlil Okafor.
However, as the weeks roll by, it's evident that the Michigan State coach is willing to look outside of that trio in order to reel in quality athletes for his upcoming recruiting class.
Getting Alexander, Jones and Okafor, obviously, would be the best-case scenario. But there are others worthy of consideration, and Izzo, who has been to six Final Fours, continues courting them to ensure the integrity of the 2014 haul.
This slideshow will examine the remaining targets and address questions surrounding their recruitments.
Note: information on recruits comes via SpartanMag, 247Sports and Rivals.com.

NEW YORK -- A bystander who took a bullet to the thigh during a police shootout with another man at a Harlem block party says he's planning to sue police for $20 million.
Larry Garlick of the Bronx filed a pre-lawsuit document called a notice of claim today. City lawyers had no immediate response.
Police said they fired a total of 46 bullets after a man shot at an officer early Sunday. In a hail of police and other bullets, that man was shot 21 times. An acquaintance he'd been fighting was killed.
One officer was shot in his bullet-resistant vest. Another was grazed.
It's unclear whether Garlick was shot by police or another gunman. His lawyer, Bruce Baron, says police should be held responsible for their handling of the chaos.

During a recent presidential debate, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann was asked about a recent statement in which she said that wives ought to be submissive to their husbands.
It was a "gotcha" question, but Bachmann exhibited grace under fire. She answered that she loved and respected her husband, and that they had a great marriage -- one that produced five children and cared for more than 20 foster children.
It was a telling moment, one that showed that Rep. Bachmann of Minnesota can think on her feet. I suspect it also won the hearts of many wives, and husbands who crave respect from their wives.
Over the next few posts, I would like to offer a quick snapshot, as it were, of each of the remaining eight candidates for president, seven Republicans and one Democrat. (Sorry, I won't include Herman Cain.)
I would like to cover five this week, and the remaining three next week. To be fair, I'll go in alphabetical order.
The nation is generally moderately conservative, as I am. (It may not seem that way from New Jersey, but on balance, the nation is slightly right of center.) For that reason, my view of the candidates -- their strengths and weaknesses -- might be a good way to assess the chances of each to win the White House.
Let's start with Rep. Bachmann, a three-term veteran of the House of Representatives and the informal leader of the Tea Party movement. In my view, Bachmann is a much stronger candidate than many people realize.
A former federal tax attorney, Rep. Bachmann is a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the Financial Services Committee. Bachmann is far from the lightweight portrayed by reporters who are offended by her professed Christian faith.
Although Bachmann can get mixed up about Elvis' birthday (a "gaffe," according to hostile coverage), her experience as a tax attorney and work in Congress have given her an expertise on the biggest item that will land on the next president's plate: how to fix the federal budget.
Bachmann also has a subtle and sophisticated knowledge of foreign affairs. For example, when another candidate gave a black and white view of Pakistan, saying that we should cut them off if they don't entirely cooperate, Bachmann offered a much more nuanced view.
Refusing to play to the crowd, Bachmann rightly explained that Pakistan is at the heart of the terrorist network. We need to work with them, even if they are an imperfect ally, she explained.
In her personal life, Bachmann is the co-owner of a family business and the life partner in a household that has raised numerous children. In public and private, she has demonstrated executive skills which promise to serve her (and the nation) well, were she to make it to the White House.
In contrast to many of the candidates, Bachmann's biggest weakness is not of her own making. While her Christianity, and her refusal to hide her faith, is popular in many quarters, it has also made her a target among much of the secular media.
For example, when Bachmann was recently invited as a guest on a late-night talk show, the band played a disrespectful song as she entered. We can be certain the other Michelle would not be treated that way. The network later apologized.
All this is by way of illustrating that many self-proclaimed "feminists," many reporters, and many voters, do not like intelligent women in leadership roles, especially intelligent conservative women.
Sarah Palin, the previous informal leader of the Tea Party movement, connected with (conservative) voters through a shared emotional bond. Bachmann, by contrast, comes across as more as brainy than emotional. In my view, she's the most intelligent of all the candidates of both parties.
I also like that Bachmann has, as she puts it, a titanium spine. She showed the stuff she is made of when she refused to go along with an automatic raising of the debt ceiling last summer. In this, Bachmann demonstrated real leadership, obviously something the next president will need. (Something, by the way, the current president has not much exhibited.)
Although Bachmann comes across as very conservative, no doubt limiting her support among liberals and many moderates, she does bring some Electoral College strength to the table. Her nomination would help the GOP in Minnesota, at best a swing state and often a blue one, as well as in nearby Iowa and perhaps Wisconsin and Michigan. Conservatives in the South love her.
In addition, the GOP generally wins when it offers a candidate who clearly articulates a conservative choice (read: Reagan). As a leader in the House, Bachmann would also bring along an already-established coalition that would help her enact the nation's much-needed the fiscal reforms.
Why Bachmann will win: Voters will have decided that they want a candidate who is serious and capable of fixing the nation's fiscal problems. Enough Americans will agree with her conservative views and values. They will be eager to elect the first serious female candidate for President.
Why Bachmann won't win: If she does poorly in Iowa, Bachmann will have trouble regenerating any momentum in her candidacy, to overcome front runners Romney and Gingrich. The media has persuaded the public that Bachmann is too conservative for their tastes. The Tea Party influence will either be rejected by the populace or it will not be enough to overcome the established mainstream political forces.

Substantial and positive change is coming to your hometown newspaper on Feb. 2.
You've already heard home delivery will be available on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.
What you may not have heard is how we at MLive Media Group plan to pack as much of our current seven days of home-delivered content into those three days.
The first point I should make is that the new home-delivered papers will look familiar to you. We will maintain the core elements you love about your newspaper.
Our goal is to adapt your newspaper to make the most of the changing delivery cycle. I think you'll be pleased with what's coming. We listened to your suggestions.
And, remember, for those who prefer to read a printed paper seven days a week, copies will be available for newsstand purchase on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays after Feb. 2.
People comfortable with newer technology can make the delivery choice that fits their lifestyle: eReplica electronic editions, a tablet app, MLive.com (also with a new look coming in February), a mobile phone app, etc.
No matter how you prefer to receive your newspaper, the key deliverable is quality journalism about your community, state, nation and world. Without that, it doesn't matter how many days we deliver.
We know readers depend on us most for covering the local scene and that remains Job One. You'll see that the local news coverage will be up front in the new papers. Most front page stories will be local and the first section of news will be dominated by local and regional content that hits closest to home. Not much change there.
But we've also heard readers say they miss the extensive nation and world coverage our papers used to have before we reduced our page count in recent years due to the poor economy. Thanks to the cost savings associated with having fewer days of home delivery, we can add more nation and world coverage in the new papers.
The relative lack of bulk of current papers also has concerned many of you and we're adding new sections to address that.
For example, the new Tuesday paper will include a section called Live Smart, designed to help you get the most out of life. It will update you weekly on subjects such as personal finance, health, food, pets and the environment. We'll keep you on the cutting edge of the topics you care most about.
The new Thursday papers will continue to bring you the most comprehensive report on local, regional and state entertainment options. The format will vary from what you get now, but the information will continue to be valuable as you plan your free time.
We also recognize that you enjoy the paper for a variety of reasons, including the comics, puzzles and advice columns, and fear that reduced home delivery will leave you deprived.
Not to worry. The new Tuesday and Thursday papers will include another new section, which we're calling Diversions. It will more than satisfy your fix for these features. Tuesday's Diversions sections will include the daily comics and puzzles for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Thursday's Diversions sections will include the daily comics and puzzles for Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
There also will be a new Diversions section in the Sunday paper and it will include a week's worth of television programming information in the front and yet another batch of puzzles and advice columns for the entire week ahead in the back of the section.
Sunday delivery may also change slightly. Depending on where you live, the portion of the paper with the coveted advertising inserts may be delivered Saturday evening. The "live" parts of the paper with the latest news will continue to be delivered Sunday morning.
The bottom line is that a three-day-a-week home delivery customer will continue to receive much of what he or she does now.
Please let me know what you think of our plan so far by emailing me at email@example.com.
We will use reader feedback to shape our new products and if we misfire, we're counting on you to help set us straight. We're focused on making your newspaper the best it can be, and you can help us.
Paul M. Keep is executive editor of print at MLive Media Group. He has nearly 30 years of experience at five Michigan newspapers.

John Roberts, 48, of Thomas Township, said he and his fiancée, Stephanie Whisman, 38, are caretakers for five patients each, which under the law allows them to possess 12 plants and 2.5 ounces of harvested marijuana per patient. Roberts is holding a syringe of "Rick Simpson hemp oil" — a liquid cannabis extract ingested orally for pain and to induce sleep.
Saginaw County sheriff's deputies, with federal Drug Enforcement Administration agents, made seizures at the homes of two medical marijuana patients last week.
Saginaw County Sheriff's Detective Sgt. Randy F. Pfau said the seizures were some of the first from registered medical marijuana users in Saginaw County since the law's November 2008 passage. The patients weren't following state guidelines, Pfau said.
Prosecutors haven't charged the residents, and because the investigation is ongoing, Pfau declined to discuss the nature of the violations.
"I don't want people that are doing this for the appropriate reasons — for medical use — to think that the Sheriff's Department is going to kick in their door in some day," Pfau said. "As long as they're operating within the required law, we don't have a problem with it.
"We've come across several others who were operating inside the law, and we took no action."
Homeowner John F. Roberts, 48, of Thomas Township said the use was appropriate: to treat pain and other ailments of patients who need his "medicine."
Roberts said he and his fiancée, Stephanie Whisman, 38, are caretakers for five patients each, which under the law allows them to possess 12 plants and 2.5 ounces of harvested marijuana per patient.
"The true victims are the patients we are trying to assist," Roberts said. "Now my patients are going to have to suffer because they can't get their medicine."
He said some of his patients have terminal cancer, rheumatoid arthritis and other chronic diseases and ailments.
Pfau said tests by the State Police Crime lab will verify whether seized plants, harvested marijuana and other cannabis-derived products — such as oils and butters — are in fact marijuana; and the findings will be turned over to the Saginaw County prosecutor's office.
Authorities said they also seized 88 marijuana plants, "a large quantity of processed marijuana" and three guns from the home of Edwin W. Boyke, 54, of Saginaw Township.
Boyke said he uses medical marijuana for pain associated with a pinched nerve in his back and because he doesn't want to get "hooked on Vicodin."
He disputes the number of plants deputies reported confiscating but he admits he had 17 more than the law allows. He said his son-in-law, a registered medical marijuana patient, also uses his grow space, so he was legal to have up to 36 plants and 7.5 ounces of harvested product.
About 20 of the plants were clones, clippings from other plants and hadn't rooted yet, he said. Boyke said he is new to growing, and so far harvested less than an ounce from four plants.
Deputies also seized 4 ounces of dried marijuana, a 42-inch TV, a 2008 Chevy Impala, guns, two lawn mowers, an air compressor, a dehumidifier and a lawn blower from Boyke's home, he said.
The next day, Boyke said deputies gave him the opportunity to recover his personal items in exchange for $5,000 in cash. He said, after seeking legal advice, he paid the fee, which Pfau said was charged for impounding the items.
Boyke said the marijuana, TV, dehumidifier and guns were retained by the department.
He said he's not sure if he'll grow any more for himself or his patient.
"Right now I'm afraid to do anything," he said. "They're just harassing anyone they can."
Saginaw sheriff's deputies and federal agents plucked a leaf from each of Robert's plants during their search, Roberts said, for the purpose of testing in case he later is charged with illegal possession of marijuana.
In addition, deputies seized about 4 ounces of harvested marijuana, a pound of cannabis butter, a bag of leaf clippings for making butter and a quantity of "Rick Simpson hemp oil" — a liquid cannabis extract ingested orally for pain, Roberts said.
Kim M. Zimmer, 54, is a disabled Saginaw resident and one of Whisman's patients. She said she has fibromyaglia and stomach adhesions, and has battled stomach, colon and cervical cancers.
"This stuff works great for me," Zimmer said. "I got my first ounce last month from them ... and now I'm really in pain, because I have no product at all.
"If I have to, I'm going to have to go into the black market and buy it off the streets."
Roberts, Whisman, Zimmer and Boyke are members of the 140-member Tri-City Compassion Club, an organization that advocates for medical marijuana use and assists patients with procurement, consumption and growing information.
On Monday, Roberts tended about 112 marijuana plants in the garage behind his Thomas Township home. The bright grow room is filled with the sound of pumps and circulating water. Outside and inside the white garage, the musk of marijuana is distinct. He said it will be months before he can harvest more medical marijuana.

The University of Texas-Pan American has named its next vice president for business affairs Martin V. Baylor, associate vice president for budget and resource planning, from The University of Texas at Dallas.
"Mr. Baylor comes to us from The University of Texas at Dallas and has considerable experience with a broad range of Business Affairs functions as well as experience with the UT System and the state of Texas. He is excited about joining the UT Pan American family," Dr. Robert S. Nelsen, UTPA president, announced in a memo to the University community on Tuesday, July 6.
"We are extremely fortunate to have had such an outstanding pool of candidates and especially fortunate to have acquired the talents of Mr. Baylor. I am very grateful to the Search Committee and to all who provided input during the process," he added.
Baylor was one of four candidates interviewed for the position in June after a nationwide search. He will lead UTPA's Division of Business Affairs, which is responsible for addressing the business and finance needs of the University community and a $243.8 million budget. He is expected to take the leadership role Aug. 23.
"I was so delighted to get the offer. I couldn't have asked for a more wonderful opportunity," Baylor said.
As for what is on his agenda when he arrives on campus, Baylor said he will immediately review several concerns raised to him during his campus visit on June 25 regarding process improvement, in addition to meeting members of the Division of Business Affairs team.
"My initial goal is getting to know my team and the great folks working in business affairs. It is becoming very clear that there is a great team throughout the business affairs organization," Baylor said.
Since the announcement of his appointment, Baylor said he has received many congratulatory and welcome notes from individuals on campus. He said he is looking forward to working with Nelsen and all members of the UTPA community.
"I just can't wait to hit the ground running," he said.
At UTD, Baylor, who serves as the principal budget advisor, implements and manages the university's budget and strategic goals and provides forecasts to the president and administration. His responsibilities include budget and resource planning, business services and parking and transportation.
Baylor, a certified Transactional Lean Facilitator, is responsible for managing and monitoring the debt capacity for the university, which includes approximately $250 million of construction projects during the past two years.
He earned his MBA from Baylor University-Dallas Campus and a bachelor's degree from Illinois State University. He previously worked in the business and finance areas at The University of Texas at San Antonio, Baylor College of Dentistry, and UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas.
Baylor will succeed the current Vice President for Business Affairs James R. Langabeer who announced his retirement in February 2010 after 21 years of service to UTPA. He will officially retire Aug. 31.

American Airlines Flight AA 0955
Scheduled Departure: 10:10PM
Actual Departure: 10:09PM
Scheduled Arrival: 9:51AM
Actual Arrival: 09:41AM
Aircraft: B767-323ER - Departure Gate 7, Terminal 8, Arrival Gate 3
Last month, my friend and I took a two month trip to Argentina. Neither of us have preferred status on American Airlines but they are the only airline with a daily, nonstop flight in the JFK-EZE market. AR operates a nonstop in the summer time (northern hemisphere) and three times a week in the winter time, via Miami.
We arrived at JFK at 8:00PM. Check in was a breeze. My friend has AAirpass, thanks to his company, so we went to the First Class line in the old Terminal 8 (really gross place, by the way). Check in was quick. Our bags were tagged with premium tags. The check in lady was efficient, but really not that pleasant. She made us weigh our bags and told us we were very close to the limit in weight. After walking our bags over the x-ray we headed to Gate 7. The area is windowless, poorly ventilated, and stiflingly hot. There were passengers there waiting to board flights to London, Sao Paolo, and Zurich. American and the PANYNJ recently opened the new Terminal 9 yet it seems most of AA's premier international routes use the old Terminal 8. This is probably due to US Customs/Immigration facilities, which I do not think are fully operational yet in 9. Boarding was chaotic, as the place was crowded and the flight very full. Our aircraft, a Boeing 767-300ER arrived earlier in the evening from Paris CDG. Boarding started a bit late, as a flight from Santo Domingo had arrived at an adjacent gate that uses the same walkway.
The aircraft was in the old-style, not one of the 9 new look interior aircraft. The plane was tidy, in relatively good condition, and yet at the same time, very much lacking in any kind of amenities. The Business Class cabin looked worn, untidy, and not all that comfortable. I took my seat in the first coach section, row 12. This is actually a nice, small section with 6 or 7 rows of seats, between two cabin walls. My seat mate was an agitated man, who kept fretting about his laptop, which he had placed in the over head bin.
Push back was about a minute early. We were told that there would be no in flight entertainment as the projector screens were broken. It did not matter as this was a late flight and all I wanted to do is sleep. Taxi to the runway was quick and by 10:30, we were rolling down the main runway and on our way to BUENOS AIRES!!!
Take off was powerful, quick and smooth. The dinner service began very shortly afterwards and it was GROSS!!! The extra large trays featured small portions with virtually no meat. The garbage AA calls food was quickly removed (I did not eat it, but I also do not really like plane food anyway, so it was not a big deal) and the cabin went dark. People were mostly asleep as we proceeded on our 10 hour 44 minute flight to EZE by way of the Carolinas, Puerto Rico, Caracas, Manaus, and Asuncion, and finally into EZE (these were the route markers the pilot gave us). The cabin crew disappeared and were not seen again until breakfast was served an hour before landing. No in flight beverage service. Just bottles of water in the galleys with cups.
Breakfast consisted of a soggy croissant, over ripe melon chunks, and coffee. We began our descent into a sunny EZE around 9:10AM and landed at 9:41, 10 minutes early. Landing was smooth and we taxied to the terminal, parking next to a Delta 767 in bound from ATL, an LH 747-400, and another AA 767-300, which was headed for MVD.
Passport control and baggage claim were very easy and within 20 minutes of landing, we were in a taxi, on our way to Aeroparque Jorge Newbery for our AR flight to Mendoza.
Overall, I would rate this flight well in that in left on time and arrived pretty much on time, even a few minutes early. The cabin was clean if dull. The crew were OK. Nothing great, nothing bad either. Food was horrible and comfort level...well, that's the state of US legacy airlines today, minus Continental.
The convenience of the nonstop was worth it.
I will post my AR flights (AEP-MDZ, MDZ-AEP) and LAN Argentina flights from AEP to IGR and back, as well as my return, on AA 956, soon.

The owner of land along Brewster Road near Covington has asked the state 1st Circuit Court of Appeal to correct "flawed reasoning" by the district court and force St. Tammany Parish government to fix an error on a zoning map and label 10 acres of his property for intense commercial usage. The appellate brief, dated Tuesday, was filed on behalf of property owner Ronald Goux in a case that has been closely watched by area residents who oppose the change.
Residents in various subdivisions along Brewster fear the map change would lead to the construction of a large commercial development, perhaps a Walmart, on Goux's land along the two-lane road and ruin their neighborhoods. Goux also owns an adjacent 27 acre-tract that is already zoned Highway Commercial District, or HC-3, which allows buildings up to 200,000 square feet.
At issue is the zoning applied to Goux's 37 acres -- located on the north side of Brewster, west of Louisiana 21 -- when the parish government rezoned all property in the unincorporated areas of the parish, a two-year effort that wrapped up in 2010. Goux asked that all 37 acres of his land be zoned HC-3, and the parish Zoning Commission approved the request and sent its recommendation to the Parish Council.
The council on Sept. 3, 2009, approved an ordinance to reclassify the land as HC-3, and an accompanying map highlighted an area consistent with the shape of Goux's 37 acres, the court filing says.
But a parish staffer later erred when making the change on the parish's official zoning map, labeling the westernmost 10 acres of Goux's land as CB-1, or Community Based Facilities District, a less intense zoning classification that allows such things as churches, religious education facilities and clubs and lodges.
The parish acknowledged that an error was made but said the zoning map is an official document used by the government to decide zoning cases. Parish officials referred Goux's request for a correction to the Zoning Commission, which in December refused to change the 10-acres to HC-3 zoning.
Goux filed a lawsuit in 22nd Judicial District Court in Covington on Feb. 1 of this year asking the court to force parish government to administratively correct the error on the map. The lawsuit maintained that the 10 acres already were zoned HC-3 by law as spelled out in the 2009 Parish Council ordinance, despite what the map showed.
But Judge Martin Coady rejected Goux's request, ruling that such a map change would require an ordinance via the Parish Council.
Goux is asking the appeals court in Baton Rouge to overrule Coady.
The appeal filed by attorneys Jeremy Goux and Paul Mayronne says neither the parish's charter nor the development code offers a specific procedure for correcting an error on the official zoning map that is in conflict with an ordinance. "If this court of appeal were to adopt the district court's flawed reasoning, it would be placing form over substance and disregarding the real and actual intent of the Parish Council . . ."
"The correction to the parish zoning map sought by Goux is a simple, definite fix of an undisputed ministerial error in mapping," the court filing says.
Attorney Alex Peragine, representing a group of homeowners along Brewster Road, has argued that both the ordinance and the map have the force of law, and the parish government doesn't have the authority to simply change the zoning on the map.
Judge Coady agreed, writing in March: ". . . the requested action by the plaintiffs is not a ministerial act but must be authorized by the members of the Parish Council through an ordinance pursuant to . . . the Home Rule Charter."
The appeal also asks the court to reverse Coady's decision allowing homeowners to intervene in Goux's lawsuit against the parish government.
The Baton Rouge appeals court has not scheduled a hearing in the case.

SAGINAW, MI — Saginaw County Sheriff William Federspiel today released his estimates of what it would cost to provide policing services to the City of Saginaw, though Federspiel said he does not plan to sit down and negotiate such a contract with city officials.
Click here to read the sheriff's report, handed over today by Federspiel in response to a Freedom of Information Act request filed by MLive.com last week.
In the document, the sheriff lists the cost of staffing 137 new positions, including 108 sworn officers, at about $9 million the first year.
Earlier in the day, Federspiel said he would not negotiate any deal with the city until the city officers' union is brought to the bargaining table.
"I'm not a union buster," he said. "I don't believe in unfair labor practices. And until the city and the union can work this out, I'm going to continue doing my job, which is not doing the job of the city."
Federspiel said he felt required to turn over the numbers as requested by Saginaw City Council, since he is an elected official representing county residents and the city makes up about 25 percent of Saginaw County's population.
"It is not my intention to police the city under contract even though I have presented the numbers," he said. "From this point on, I want to let everyone know I am not negotiating with the city."
The numbers in the document he gave to City Manager Darnell Earley's office Monday, Federspiel said, are based on his current budget and assumes nearly every officer would start at his office's entry-level pay.
"This is what it would look like if I hired 108 people today," he said.
Federspiel said if the city eventually sits down with him and union representatives, these numbers would simply be a starting point. He would not agree to a contract under the terms outlined in his report, Federspiel said, because he doesn't think it would be feastible or effective.
The sheriff's proposal also takes into account other costs of providing service to the city, like the purchasse of new vehicles, uniforms, training and an increase in his liability insurance. Federspiel estimated the cost of providing the services would increase each year, with the cost surpassing $11 million in 2017.
According to City Manager Darnell Earley, the city police department has budgeted for 91 sworn officers for the currently fiscal year and has an about $12.3 million budget.
Earley has said the city would be looking for at least $2 million in savings from a contract with the sheriff's office to fill an anticipated city budget gap.
Federspiel said the process necessary to train a large group of new officers is one big reason why he doesn't think it would work for his office to instantly absorb the city police department. He added that he would first need to see the community wanted such a takeover.
"The public hasn't come out in great numbers saying they want the police department to fall into this office," he said.
Federspiel said he only negotiates policing contracts with government entitites without any law enforcement agency or those operating one without a valid contract.
He said he would still require police union representatives be at the table if the city is proposing a deal after the current contract expires in June 2014.
Neither Earley nor Assistant City Manager for Public Safety Phil Ludos could be reached for comment late Friday afternoon.

Tammy MacLaren set up an online petition three weeks ago to convince the Nova Scotia government to fund insulin pumps for children with diabetes. As of Sunday the petition had more than 4,300 supporters.
NEW GLASGOW – It's been three weeks since a local woman set up an online petition to convince the Nova Scotia government to fund insulin pumps for children with diabetes. Tammy MacLaren says this is something that should be covered by the government and said the petition been getting plenty of attention across the province.
As of Sunday, the petition had more than 4,300 supporters.
"I've gotten a few responses (from MLAs). I know for sure that one MLA has received over 2,000 emails," she said. "So, we're hopeful that it will be worked into the budget."
MacLaren started the online petition after her daughter's school raised the $7,500 needed for its student Madison Moulton, 10, to replace her malfunctioning insulin pump. The fundraiser prompted MacLaren to do some research on insulin pumps. She was shocked to learn that families in Nova Scotia have to cover the devices that range from $6,500 to $9,000. She also learned that Nova Scotia is one of only two provinces in Canada that does not cover pumps.
An insulin pump allows diabetics to live their lives free of multiple daily needle injections and allows more flexibility in terms of what they can eat and their activity levels as a pump can change the amount of insulin quickly with the touch of a button and monitors blood sugar levels. According to a 2012 report from the Canadian Diabetes Association, "the indirect costs for persons switching from daily insulin injections to an insulin pump lead to fewer serious complications. This, in turn, leads to fewer deaths and a reduction in the people experiencing difficulty with daily living."
After researching this information, MacLaren didn't understand why insulin pumps aren't covered by the government, so she started the online petition.
The online petition allows for supporters to comment with their reason for wanting to see government-funded insulin pumps in Nova Scotia. MacLaren said the comments alone tell the story of why they should be covered.
"It's just a lot of people that, like me, are shocked that this isn't covered. Then, there are the stories of people living with this and families with two children, both on pumps and that's $14,000 every four or five years (because they need to be replaced), that's a car. Some people commented, 'this is why I don't own a home,'" MacLaren said.
"A mother in Trenton commented that she is quite sure that her son would still have his sight if he had an insulin pump when he was growing up. A 74-year-old wrote in a comment that he has pricked his fingers so many times that it hurts just to think about it. So, I think the comments tell the story in themselves."
MacLaren said while she's pleased that in three weeks the petition has gained more than 4,000 supporters, she wants to see it continue to grow as the issues gains more attention across the province.
"We hope it continues because the larger the number, the harder it is for the government not to consider it," she said. "Last week was a great leap with Jamie Baillie from the PC Party making a statement about covering insulin pumps and Stephen McNeil's statement from Liberal Party about how insulin pumps should be covered and it was very encouraging what the Health Minister said (in the media), that they're seriously looking at it."
Health and Wellness Minister David Wilson told The News in January when the petition was launched that the government is researching the costs and benefits of such a program.
"While we don't have an immediate plan to fund insulin pumps, we are actively gathering the best information to help us assess the costs and benefits of an insulin program that would cover insulin pumps here in Nova Scotia," he said. "No question, the finance of the province plays an important role on what new services we can provide Nova Scotians. That's why it's so important for us to get back to balance and ensure that we have our finances in order so we can continue in the future to improve services, like adding new services like insulin pumps for children in the province."
MacLaren said it would be a win-win situation if the government decided to fund insulin pumps because a report released by the Canadian Diabetes Association shows that funding insulin pumps saves the government money in the long run. The report, titled "The Economic Benefit of Public Funding of Insulin Pumps in Nova Scotia," was released in 2012 and states that in the first year of implementation, the net financial cost to Nova Scotia is projected to be approximately $650,000 and the net financial savings is projected to grow each year, reaching approximately $1.4 million by 2032.
MacLaren said eventually, she would like to see insulin pumps covered for diabetics of all ages in Nova Scotia, but trends in other provinces show that it's easier to get government-funded pumps for children first and then expand the program later.
To support MacLaren's petition, go to change.org and search "Nova Scotia Legislature: Fund insulin pumps for children."

The Fort Meade Fire Department in Anne Arundel County is thanking the community for helping find its missing fire dog who was scared away by Wednesday night's fireworks.
The Fire Department told 11 News that its dog, Beau, was spooked by the exploding fireworks around 9: 40 p.m. and bolted out of the fire station and out of the Fort Meade gate that intersects Route 32 and Route 198.
Beau, who is wearing a wireless fence collar and has a gold name tag that has "Fort Meade Fire Department" on it, was found Thursday afternoon on 295 south of Route 32 by a woman who was headed toward Annapolis.
Fire officials said Carroll Hogan pulled over to grab the shepherd/mastiff mix as cars were slowing down so they wouldn't hit him. Officials said Hogan then took the dog to a state trooper on Route 32, who was aware of Beau's plight.
The dog was safely returned to the Fire Department in good shape.
Fire officials said Beau is important member of the force.

GRAND RAPIDS – ArtPrize 2010's prize-winning drawing by Chris LaPorte, which has remained at the Grand Rapids Art Museum since last fall, will leave the museum on Aug. 8.
But the $250,000 prize winning drawing soon will return to public view at The ArtPrize Hub during the upcoming exhibition and competition opening Sept. 21.
Aug. 7 will be the final day to see "Cavalry, American Officers, 1921," in the Grand Rapids Art Museum, which drew 170,000 visitors last fall during the two-and-a-half weeks of ArtPrize.
Thousands visited the museum specifically to see LaPorte's drawing after the Grand Rapids Artist was awarded the top prize in October.
"Like the winner that preceded it, 'Cavalry' has become a cherished icon of ArtPrize," said Catherine Creamer, executive director of ArtPrize. "We are grateful to Chris LaPorte for participating in the ArtPrize competition and look forward to maintaining this piece as part of ArtPrize's growing collection of inspiring artwork."
More than 300,000 people have visited the Grand Rapids Art Museum since the installation of "Calvary" 11 months ago, making it among the most-viewed works of art in Grand Rapids.
"It has been our honor to have exhibited the winners of the past two ArtPrize competitions," said Dana Friis-Hansen, appointed director and CEO of Grand Rapids Art Museum this month.
"The ArtPrize event is an inventive, unorthodox approach to engaging the public with art, and the best contemporary art pushes the boundaries of the familiar into something extraordinary," Friis-Hansen said. "We are looking forward to seeing what surprises ArtPrize has in store for 2011."
LaPorte's large-scale drawing, inspired by a photograph, depicts a group of uniformed military officers stationed at Camp Grant, located outside of Rockford, Illinois.
"'Cavalry' offered a significant opportunity to combine a number of different portraits into one massive drawing," LaPorte said. "Each face evokes its own tone and personality, like notes on a musical scale, which combined create something that's bigger than the sum of its parts."
LaPorte, an adjunct assistant professor of art at Aquinas College, created it in homage to his father, who died shortly before he started work on the drawing.
ArtPrize is moving into the former home of Urban Institute for Contemporary Arts at 41 Sheldon Blvd. SE which will serve as The ArtPrize Hub during the 19-day exhibition. Last year, The Hub was located in the Old Federal Building, which is closed for renovations to become a part of Kendall College of Art & Design.
ArtPrize's new home on Sheldon Boulevard also is closed for renovations but will reopen in September for the third exhibition and competition offering nearly $450,000 in prizes, chosen by registered viewers, voting online, via text messages or other social media.
Some 1,582 works by artists from 36 countries and 43 states will be seen in 164 venues during ArtPrize 2011. More than 500,000 people are expected to attend and vote.

The Fab Faux frequently play Penny Lane in their live shows. I have heard them perform it twice. Jeff Kievett played the solo the first time and John Chudoba was on trumpet for the second. Both guys absolutely nailed it and both got standing ovations. Both guys are monster players!
If you really want to hear Beatles music this is the show to see. Will Lee from Letterman's Band and Jimmy Vivino who was with Conan's NY Band are with The Fab Faux. They don't tour a lot due to their day jobs but they are really something to hear. They use a 6-7 piece horn section and a couple of string players in their shows.
Has anyone else heard them?

I totally agree, the Fab Faux is amazing! They really do justice to that music. I've subbed with them several times and have had the pleasure of playing that Penny Lane solo. A super fun gig!

During our trip to Scotland, we spent a week in the Highlands, hiking along the Great Glen Way, from Fort William to Inverness. At 10 to 12 miles a day, it was a lot of work, but we saw some beautiful areas of wilderness that we wouldn't have witnessed otherwise. At the beginning of the journey, it was too rainy to get out a camera. On clearer days, I found a new wondrous site to photograph at every bend in the path. We traveled through all kinds of woods, with moss in abundance. I could imagine fairy house neighborhoods everywhere! Speaking of fairy houses, the Fairy Houses of Highfield Hall exhibit opens on Sunday, June 28th, with an artist reception at 1:00 pm. I'll be there, along with a fantastic collection of 32 houses and their builders. More about that coming soon!

Toc, toc, qui est la? It seems fitting to start this post with an inviting door knocker, which we saw many examples of around France. Here's the last selection of miscellaneous photographs I took last fall during our trip to Provence and along the Canal du Midi. There are doors, gates, grape vines, mermaids and vegetable gardens that somehow touched my fancy. I've enjoyed bringing you along on this visit to beautiful France!

"Hither and Yon" Video!
I'm excited to share this new Hither and Yon video that my husband Rob made. It documents the making and installation of my sculpture, which is part of this summer's "Portals and Passageways" exhibit at Highfield Hall and Gardens in Falmouth, MA. The show will be there through Sept. 7th, so there's still time to roam the beautiful grounds and see all of the varied interpretations of the theme.
Over the spring, Rob filmed the making of the piece, starting with a scene of me cutting down the naturally bowed tree I found in the snowy woods. During the next few weeks, I called him into my studio periodically to record different stages of the process; drawing out the lettering, wrapping wire with felt, stitching and forming the words. The film ends with a time lapse sequence showing the installation of the piece at Highfield Hall. Rob and I had so much fun working on this video. I hope that you enjoy it!
I've really liked being involved with the exhibit and connecting with some of the other artists. I met Linda Hoffman, who invited me to bring Hither and Yon to her Frog Pond Farm in Harvard, MA for her annual sculpture walk, Around the Pond and Through the Woods. It looks like a beautiful property and she's picked out a couple of trees for me choose from. We'll be transporting the sculpture on top of my car and installing it soon after the Falmouth show ends. The exhibit opens Sept. 14th, 1-5 pm and there's an artist reception on Sun., Sept 21, which I hope to attend.
Hither and Yon installed
There's going to be another outdoor art exhibit at Highfield Hall in Falmouth, Massachusetts, Portals and Passageways. I'm excited to be a part of this Cape Cod Art and Environmental Sculpture Exhibit.
June 29 – Sept. 7, 2014 ~ Portals and Passageways, Highfield Hall, Falmouth, MA. Artist Reception: June 29, 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm.
Update: See the Hither and Yon video here.
Last summer, I curated the Fairy Houses of Beebe Woods Exhibit at Highfield Hall (to return in 2015), but this year I am happy to be just one of the artists who's made a portal or passageway for this year's show.
My piece, Hither and Yon uses the same felt covered wire lettering technique that I've used in other projects (see here). But this time, the scale is LARGE!
Last winter, after being invited to make an installation, I walked around the Highfield property, looking for a spot that called to me. Coming down the path along the west garden, I saw a beech tree leaning toward the path and envisioned a curved branch arching over, creating a space to pass under. I immediately knew that this was where my passageway would be located! I wanted to incorporate words into a kind of sign.
I searched the woods around our house and located an 8′ young tree that had grown with a natural bend. I cut it down and brought it over to the Highfield site to see if it would work. Rob took a photo of me holding the branch up against the leaning beech tree and it was the perfect size and shape! I reduced the photo's contrast and printed out a bunch of copies. After settling on the words, "Hither and Yon", I drew on top of the photo, outlining the branch with a marker, trying out several designs. I carried the branch into my studio, lay it on my work table and drew out the letters to scale on a large piece of paper. This would be used as a template to form the felt covered wire letters.
I wound wire with 1/2″ wide (or larger) strips of felt and embroidered it with rows of seed stitches. I used acrylic felt because it's cheap and I figured that it would hold up through rainy weather. There had to be decorative stitching, of course, even though the sign would be hanging up high, away from close inspection.
I bent the wire, writing out the letters and sewing them in place.
Being an outdoor sculpture, the sign had to withstand the forces of wind and rain. I attached screw eyes to the wooden branch, which anchored the wire (covered in white) and reinforced the lettering, helping to keep it stable and in position. I sewed the letters wherever I could to the grey underline strip and the white covered wire.
Yes, it had to be strong, but that doesn't mean I couldn't add another stretch of decorative zig-zagged wire and wooden beads along the top.
The last challenge was figuring out how to attached the sign to the beech tree without hammering or drilling into the trunk. My engineer husband Rob's suggestion of using ratchet straps worked beautifully! I padded the lower part of the branch with an old yoga mat and covered it with some cotton fabric that was a close match to the tree's bark. The glaring red ratchet straps were also padded and covered with the camouflage fabric. Hither and Yon is now installed and hardly moves at all in the wind– just the suspended beads at the tip flutter around. Let's hope that it holds up through the summer. It is so satisfying to have an idea, not knowing exactly how it will come out and working toward making it appear as you envisioned. And it's come out exactly how I saw it in my mind!
I'd like to thank Annie Dean of Highfield Hall for her perseverance and vision in making this show a reality. Portals and Passageways looks to be an exciting event and I hope that many of you can come see it. You can walk around the grounds any time, not just when the museum is open.
Cuba: nature
While in Cuba last March, we took bus trips out of Havana and had the opportunity to walk in the botanical gardens and in a mangrove forest. My husband Rob concentrated on photographing wildlife and I took pictures of trees.
Rob took tons of pictures of this bird and got one good one.
The botanical gardens…
We were told that this snake was harmless.
An agave plant. It's good to see where the liquid sweetener comes from.
The view from Ernest Hemingway's house, overlooking Havana.
it's foggy today
It's relatively warm today (in the 40's), but the snowy ground and ocean water are still chilly. Sometimes that combination creates a thick fog and today it lured us outside. After lunch, Rob and I grabbed our cameras and drove around Quisset and Woods Hole to take photos. This section shows another view of our seaside village, from a floating dingy surrounded by ice to the dormant communal garden behind Challenger House. Even in winter, Nobska light's fog horn sends a warning out to sea.

Syracuse, NY - A Syracuse man already facing charges in two minor arson fires was arraigned today on much more serious charges in two additional fires.
Senior Assistant District Attorney Timothy Hennigan said Glenn Winney also is a suspect in a number of additional fires in and around the downtown area in recent weeks.
Winney, 47, was arraigned before City Judge James Cecile on two felony counts of second-degree arson in a pair of blazes May 16.
In one, he's accused of setting fire to a home at 529 Park Ave., about 5:20 a.m. that day. He's accused of using a match to ignite a pile of leaves on the front porch.
The fire charred the porch floor and melted some vinyl siding, causing about $500 worth of damage, according to court papers.
The charge was filed as second-degree arson, a Class B felony punishable by up to 25 years in state prison, because it was a residential structure that contained furniture, clothing and assorted household items that should have indicated the possibility of people being inside, according to the court papers.
The second charge accused Winney of setting another fire 30 minutes later at the Gridley Building at 103 E. Water St. in downtown.
He's accused of using a match or lighter to set fire to three trees and a laundry cart next to the building. The fire cracked a number of windows and charred the outside northern wall of the building that houses the Prime Steakhouse restaurant and numerous law offices.
That also should have made it clear there might be people inside, accounting for the second-degree arson charge in that case as well, according to the court papers.
Cecile set bail in each of the two new cases at $50,000 and scheduled a preliminary hearing for Tuesday.
Winney is due back in court Friday in connection with the previously filed charges that accuse him of setting a May 19 fire in a garbage container at 201 South Ave. and a May 18 fire that destroyed a car at 204 Burnet Ave.
Cecile said Winney also had been arrested several weeks ago on a criminal trespass charge after he was found in the lobby of a building in the Franklin Square area.
Court records show Winney pleaded guilty to a lesser trespass charge May 9 and was sentenced to a one-year conditional discharge.

It was great to be back at the ballpark last night after a loooong, but nice, 12-day mini-vacation.
The weather was beautiful, the Red Sox are in town (always a good thing), and it was "Everything Irish night"...which provided us with some...ummm....I'll say "interesting"....pre-game entertainment.
I'm not talking about the Irish Step Dancers either. And I'll just leave it at that.
After the jump...
*Find out which Chiefs Irishman came through on "Everything Irish" Night
*Biased? Me? With the Red Sox in town? Nahhhh...
*Some very familiar voices are in the Pawtucket Radio booth
*Joe McEwing almost gets the rarest of baseball feats
*A "did you know" about Chiefs Pitching Coach Rick Langford
*And more!
More Tales from the Radio-TV Booth after the jump...
Way to go Lad!
Chiefs 3B Ryan Roberts, who regularly walks to the plate to the tune of Irish music, had an RBI single in the bottom of the 2nd on "Everything Irish Night" at Alliance Bank Stadium.
No word on whether he celebrated with a green beer at Coleman's after the game.
Reinforcement Report
*Curtis Thigpen started at catcher and batted 2nd after returning from Toronto. Thigpen went 2-for-4 with a RBI Double in the 7th. He was eventually replaced at catcher in the 8th inning by Sal Fasano. The Sox stole two bases on Thigpen. Thigpen played in 17 games with Toronto, primarily at 1B or as a late game substitution, and hit .270 with 0 HR and 4 RBI.
*Adam Lind made his 2007 Alliance Bank Stadium debut starting in left field and was 2-for-3 with an RBI double and 2 runs scored. Lind spent the last 73 games with the Jays batting .230 with 8 HR and 30 RBI.
*Scott Sauerbeck made his Chiefs debut out of the bullpen. Sauerbeck entered the game in the 6th inning after Lee Gronkiewicz only last a third of inning giving up 3 hits and 2 runs.
Sauerbeck, a MLB veteran of over 400 games with the Pirates, A's, Red Sox, and Indians (among others) went 1.2 innings giving up a hit and walk with 2 K's.
Where's Thiggy going to play?
As noted above, Thigpen was used mostly as a first basemen in his 17 games in Toronto. The question now is how much first base will he play in Syracuse? Will Toronto continue to see what he has there, or put him mainly behind the plate as he was before his call up?
If anything, the Chiefs are loaded at catcher now. Thigpen doesn't have the strongest arm to throw out baserunners, but is a top prospect with a good bat and alot of raw talent. Erik Kratz, who is currently on the DL, brings a big bat, great defense, and a very good arm to the table. Sal Fasano does a little bit of everything and can hit. He also of course brings the vast experience of his MLB days to the table.
Mini-Mac turns into Big Mac
Sox 3B Joe McEwing had a fairly nice night at the ballpark.
The former Met, Cardinal, Astro and Royal went 4-for-5 at the plate, including a 2-run HR and an RBI single, and was just a triple short of the cycle.
Fun fact about McEwing. In 2003, he played every position on the field for the NY Mets except pitcher and catcher.
Prieto pretty good too
Sox SS Alex Prieto would have been the Co-MVP with McEwing last night with a 3-for-4 performance with two doubles, three RBI's, and two runs scored
Did you know? Rick Langford Edition
Had a chance to catch up with Chiefs Pitching Coach Rick Langford for our Time Warner Sports pre-game interview yesterday.
I had no idea that Langford was quite the pitcher in his day. He still holds the American League record for consecutive fielding opportunites by a pitcher without committing an error and pitched 22 consecutive complete gamesin 1980, also an AL record.
Learn more about Langford from the one and only Ed Gonser, my partner in the Syracuse Crunch golf extravaganza, by clicking right here.
By the way, Gonser drained a 45-foot birdie putt in that tournament that I still can't believe went in.
I've heard that voice before
The Pawtucket radio team of Dan Hoard and Steve Hyder should be very familiar to CNY Sports fans.
Hyder, like yours truly, is a former talk show host on Sportsradio 620 WHEN and also served as the color analyst on 570 WSYR with Doug Logan for SU Basketball Games for many years.
Hyder was also the voice of the Chiefs for three seasons.
Hoard is a former WTVH-5 Sports Anchor and is also the voice of the Cincinnati Bearcats. Dan was a frequent guest on my talk show on WHEN.
Welcome back fellas.
Dr.Pawsox and Mr.Chief
It's no secret that I'm a big Boston Red Sox fan and enjoy seeing what the farm club has when Pawtucket swings through town.
But I'm also the Chiefs PA announcer, sometimes Radio and TV boy, Chiefs fan, and live in CNY.
So, where are my loyalties for this one?
Ummm...errrr...ahhhh. Gee, look at the time. I gotta... go now. Yep.. I have to go...do...something...important now....LOOK! ELVIS!!
Enjoy the fireworks tonight.

Sizemore tears ACL again, out for season
ANAHEIM — Having already missed all of 2012 while rehabbing his surgically-repaired knee, A's second baseman Scott Sizemore has re-torn the same ACL and will be sidelined for the remainder of the season.
Sizemore initially felt pain in the knee while chasing after a fly ball in Tuesday night's game in Anaheim, which marked just his second start since Sept. 2011, and he underwent an MRI administered by team orthopedist Dr. Will Workman in the Bay Area on Wednesday that revealed the tear.
Workman and the rest of the team's medical staff are still discussing when Sizemore will undergo the surgery, which will be his third in the last five years. Aside from last year's procedure, the infielder also underwent surgery on his left ankle for a fractured fibula in 2009.
"Unbelievable," said manager Bob Melvin, visibly shaken. "It's just awful. I've been with Scotty since I took over here. We actually came up around the same time. He had a great year, played out of position, and he's one of those guys you really pull for, because he's such a good guy and cares so much and wants to win. He's coming off two difficult surgeries in the last several years, and to have a third one is devastating.
"We're thinking about him, but I can't imagine what's going through his mind right now."
With Sizemore out of the mix at second base, where he was platooning with Eric Sogard, the A's will continue to rely on Sogard, as well as switch-hitter Andy Parrino, who was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday to take Sizemore's place on the active roster.

On Fox News' America Live today anchor Megyn Kelly explained how viewers can create a "porn name" for themselves.
It started with Kelly heading into a commercial break, teasing an upcoming story about EPA Director Lisa Jackson and a supposed "scandal" at the agency involving secret aliases.
"We're going to speak with a lawyer who first blew the lid off this story," Kelly said. "Without this guy we might have never known that Lisa Jackson also went by the name Richard Windsor. That was her alias which is the name of a pet and the name of her street that she grew up on. Which I think technically is what you do to get your porn name."
Kelly explained further for those who didn't catch it… "So, you go by your first pet's name and then the first street you ever lived on. And that would be your name should you decide to venture into naughty films."
And break.

comScore Shows Samsung Is Still On Top, Apple Second Place
comScore has once again released data pertaining to a three month period ending in October, showing us the distribution numbers for both manufacturer and mobile OS. Once again, Samsung is on top at 26.3%. Apple actually jumped ahead of LG to 17.8%, probably due to the iPhone 5 launch. It's surprising that there wasn't a bigger boost as other charts have shown. LG dropped to a close third at 17.6%, but might rise again in the next 3 month period due to its very popular Nexus 4 and well received Optimus G.
In terms of platforms, obviously Android will be taking the lead. While not the crazy numbers other companies have reported, Google holds a sizable lead at 53.6%, a good 1.4 point change. Apple holds second place with iOS at 34.3% with a 0.9 point change. Sadly, RIM, Microsoft, and Symbian are all dropping, not rising. We do wish Microsoft's Windows Phone would grow, but it might do so now that Windows Phone 8 is out.

So I was just surfing around on the Massport website when I found this:
Dated July 28, it says the that new security checkpoint in Terminal C is finished! I was departing BOS on JetBlue a few weeks ago (July 10) and it did indeed look very close to being done. It was already serving the B6 / 9K pier, but not the UA pier. The checkpoint for gates C25-C36 (B6) had vanished without a trace, and the checkpoint for gates C11-C21 (UA) looked like it was about to be gutted, too. Did the old equipment get moved to the new checkpoint?
I am curious about a few other things:
1. Is the old UA checkpoint still operating or has it been closed, too?
2. Does anyone know what is going in the old hallways where the checkpoints were once located? (New shops/restaurants, or just additional terminal space for pax?)
3. How about the exit lanes? I know that the exit hallways themselves are connected to escalators, which they couldn't really move. Are the current hallways/tunnels going to stay the same, or will it be a completely new layout?
4. When will a new and updated terminal map/virtual tour be available on the Massport website? Right now it still shows the old layout.
Ant additional information would be most appreciated!

It's remarkable how easy Piazza is to use, given how much complexity it embodies; I wish I could say the same for the many other web-based technologies we're asked to use regularly at my university. I really appreciate it for its ability to help us stay organized when helping a large number of students with a large number of questions, without getting lost or overwhelmed. I also love seeing the extent to which students are able to help each other productively. It's excellent, and I plan to use it for next term's teaching as well.
I tell about Piazza to all my fellow instructors, and I believe that it's a fantastic service.
The students in my course, CS 137 at U. Waterloo like Piazza. For me, that's good enough. We get a lot of interaction compared to previous offerings that have used the old cumbersome newsgroup approach. Nothing beats a web-based solution for this younger generation.
I converted to Piazza within half an hour of hearing a presentation about it in September and I am glad I did. I demand deep engagement from my students in the classroom. With Piazza, for the first time I can expect a level of engagement outside of class that enables me to challenge my students with harder problems. I know they will work through them and learn together using Piazza then come to class knowing what they need to learn. That's not just a better way to get questions answered, it's a more effective style of teaching and learning.
Instructors can create a Piazza for their class with a single click.
Students and instructors are automatically enrolled with appropriate roles, based on the course roster.
When clicking on Piazza in LEARN, users are automatically signed in to Piazza, so there's no need to remember a separate user name and password.

INSIDE HIGHER ED. JULY 22, 2013. The College Board and the Educational Testing Service have invalidated Advanced Placement scores at Mills High School, in California, saying that "seating irregularities" may have resulted in some students gaining an advantage on the test, The Bay Area News Group reported. The College Board and ETS aren't asserting that cheating took place, but that seating for the AP tests did not follow the rules and could have permitted cheating. The AP tests are being rescheduled. Students say that they are all being punished unfairly and that it will be difficult to score as well after their courses have ended. Students have created a website, Why We Need Our Scores Back, about their concerns.

Universal Jumps to SpiralFrog's Free Downloads: iPods Not Welcome
Jason Mick
September 17, 2007 9:20 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Universal and SpiralFrog are dancing to a different tune...and it's not playing on an iPod
(Source: elsevier.nl)
Spiralfrog.com launched its free ad-supported download service today, and there's some interesting quirks
launched today, providing music fans with a legal avenue to download some free music. The only catch -- the music is supported by the site's advertising revenues, so your clicks keep those tracks downloading.
Chairman and founder of New York-based SpiralFrog Inc., Joe Mohen
"We believe [SpiralFrog] will be a very powerful alternative to the pirate sites, with SpiralFrog you know what you're getting ... there's no threat of viruses, adware or spyware."
The site, which has been beta tested for months, currently carries about 800,000 tracks and 3,500 music videos available for free download. You must sign up for a free account and provide demographic information in order to gain access to the media. You must also use your account each month in order to keep it active, which is intended to prevent users from simply downloading and not returning to the site.
The site intends to have over 2 million tracks available within the next several months.
Most of the media on the site is from Vivendi SA's Universal Music Group, the largest record company in the world, and the only music label to currently have jumped at SpiralFrog's business plan.
In July
that Vivendi had jumped ship from Apple's iTunes service, declining to renew their contract, deciding to seek revenue from alternative sources. Now it appears that one such alternative source is SpiralFrog.
An interesting detail has emerged. Files from SpiralFrog are digitally protected and can be played on mp3 players, but cannot be burned to CDs. There is another minor detail, though -- the files cannot be played on Apple's wildly popular iPod MP3 players -- nor the less popular Microsoft Zune.
SpiralFrog's frequently asked questions section states, "Songs and video files that you download from SpiralFrog are not compatible with Apple's range of iPods or Microsoft's Zune."
The move to not allow its content to be played on iPod's appears to be a clear snub by the Universal Music Group, similar to NBC's
recent move
of its television content from iTunes to Amazon.com. Apple has not commented on this development.
For many, though, SpiralFrog.com presents an intriguing new business model that may present a legal alternative to file sharing or spending large amounts of money on CDs or paid download services, such as iTunes.
"A politician stumbles over himself... Then they pick it out. They edit it. He runs the clip, and then he makes a funny face, and the whole audience has a Pavlovian response." -- Joe Scarborough on John Stewart over Jim Cramer

I finally watched Kony 2012, the video documentary created by filmmaker Jason Russell to bring attention to the horrific exploits of Joseph Kony, the leader of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), a Ugandan guerrilla group. Kony's crime is abducting young Ugandan children – more than 30,000 according to Invisible Children, the organization cofounded by Russell - to serve as soldiers in his army or to act in the capacity of "wives" for his officers. The young soldiers are encouraged to rape, mutilate, and kill civilians.
Kony 2012 urges viewers to share the video with everyone they know and to make Kony "famous, not to celebrate him, but to raise support for his arrest and set a precedent for international justice. In this case, notoriety translates to public support." The Invisible Children website offers for sale kits with KONY-themed bracelets, T-shirts, an action guide, stickers, buttons and posters. April 20th, 2012 is the day earmarked to blanket the country with KONY posters to extend his notoriety and make him instantly recognizable.
As of today, Kony 2012 had racked up more than 76 million views on YouTube – an enormous accomplishment for a video launched a bit more than a week ago. The reason I hadn't watched it until this morning is because, almost immediately following its launch, a media backlash started, accusing Russell and Invisible Children of exaggerating facts, misrepresenting current realities, and failing to allocate sufficient donated monies to helping the children they purport to serve. Disgusted by what I perceived as "nothing being simple or straightforward anymore," as I complained to my Facebook friends, I simply avoided it as another "cause of the moment." Until this morning, when curiosity got the best of me.
And I was impressed with what I saw. I learned about a situation that is devastating children in the far-off land of Uganda. Prior to the watching the video, I had known NOTHING about it. I saw a filmmaker making smart use of social media to educate others like me. I was reminded of how much I take for granted living where and how I do, comfortable that my children will wake up every day to a home, food, education and an intact family.
I'm going to watch it again, this time with my almost 12 year old son. I'll send the link to my 20 year old college student son (though I would bet he has already seen it). It's important for them to know that not all children wake up in the morning to a full breakfast, school or day camp, some XBox time, karate or baseball practice and a warm bed…and then do it all over again the next day. My children need to absorb the message that by using our collective voices, working with others who care as much as we do and watching out for the most vulnerable we can make a difference, whether it's for the children of Uganda, the homeless here in the States, or the lonely and impoverished elderly.
Children and teens are like sponges – now's the time to expose them to the inequities that exist in the world to develop their compassion, empathy and helping spirit. It doesn't hurt to expose adults like us to these inequities either.
