NETS Can't Quite Come Back on Spurs
February 14th, 2011
NEWARK, N.J.Playing smart and coming through at the end of quarters, the Spurs clobbered the Nets, 102-85, at Prudential Center. Tim Duncan (15 points, 11 rebounds, 3 blocks) and Manu Ginobili (22 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists) led the Spurs while Brook Lopez (11 points, 10 rebounds) managed a rarefor himdouble-double in defeat.

NETS Can't Quite Come Back on Spurs
Monday at Prudential Center, the Nets almost made something of a game they shouldve been out of already twice. But both times, they learned a lesson in what an elite team looks like, as the San Antonio Spurs answered runs with big buckets in soul-crushing sequences, beating the Nets, 102-85, for a 46th victory in 55 games.
This is a terrific team we played against, said Nets coach Avery Johnson. They have the best record in the league for a reason. They dont beat themselves. They are pros, they go about their business. Theyre very methodical in their approach. We cant shoot 34 percent and expect to win a game like this against this team.
The Nets first fell far behind in the second quarter, when they scored just two field goals in eight minutes, as a 25-9 run by the Spurs flipped a five-point lead into an 11-point deficit. Guard Jordan Farmar created a three-pointer for Sasha Vujacic, who swished the shot with 5.9 seconds remaining.
Yet Spurs All-Star Tony Parker rocketed coast-to-coast off the inbounds pass, dropping in a layup while being fouled, just 1.5 seconds before the buzzer. His three-point play pushed the lead back to 11, deflating the Nets. Parker finished with 13 points, six rebounds and seven assists.
Its tough, Farmar said. Youve got to get back and create a wall. If he sees that, the only thing he can do is pull up and shoot a jump shot. For him to get coast-to-coast and get a three-point play, that was tough. We made a good play, a good read, got a shot off and cut into the lead. But for him to make a play, that was pretty tough.
The Nets managed to hang around in the third quarter, only allowing 15 points in the first 10 ½ minutes and pulling within six points on an offensive rebound and putback by center Brook Lopez. But the Spurs needed only 12 seconds to free undrafted rookie Gary Neal for a corner three-pointer, one soon followed by two free throws from Manu Ginobili (game-high 22 points) and another triple, this time from George Hill (13 off the bench). The 90-second, 8-0 outburst made the fourth quarter moot; the Nets never closed the gap any closer than 14.
Lopez tied for the team lead with 11 points, pulling down 10 rebounds to tally his second double-double in three games after only registering one in the first 53. But the 7-footer shot only 5-of-16 (contributing to a team-wide .348 mark), and struggled defensively against his NBA idol, Spurs forward Tim Duncan. The perennial All-NBA First Team big man scored 11 points in the first quarter, subjecting Lopez to the full range of postups and backboard bank shots the 22-year-old Net knows well from film.
It was tough, Lopez admitted. I tried to keep him from getting middle, and he spun back a couple times and hit a couple bank shots. I thought they were tough shots, but they were good looks for him; they went down.

A Des Moines County jury yesterday found a convicted Burlington drug dealer guilty again of Possession and Sale of Crack Cocaine.
Bennie Lenoir was convicted of four counts of Delivery, one count of Possession with Intent to Deliver, and a violation of the Tax Stamp code.
And because he had been convicted of selling "crack" in 2002, Iowa law allows the judge to tack more time onto his sentence. He could receive up to 120 years on the Delivery convictions, up to 75 years on the Possession with Intent to Deliver, and up to five years on the Tax Stamp conviction.

Huawei has abandoned plans for a smartphone that dual-boots Android and Windows Phone.
The company told FierceWireless that "at this stage there are no plans to launch a dual-OS smartphone in the near future," despite earlier statements from a Huawei executive.
Previously, Huawei marketing chief Shao Yang said that the company was working on a dual-OS handset running Android and Windows Phone. "If they have the Android and Windows together, you can change it as you wish and it is much easier for people to choose Windows Phone," Yang said.
Huawei confirmed to FierceWireless that those plans have changed, but didn't give an explanation. Huawei will release new Windows Phones this year, though most of the company's handsets will run Android.
Murmurs of dual-OS phones began last fall, with Microsoft reportedly pitching the idea to HTC. But so far, the only phone maker besides Huawei to mention the possibility is India-based Karbonn Mobile, which announced its own dual-OS plans earlier this month. However, Karbonn hasn't gone into specifics on how the device will work.
Meanwhile, Microsoft and Google have reportedly been squashing vendors' plans for PCs that run both Windows and Android. According to the Wall Street Journal, Asus canceled its Transformer Book Duet after showing off the device at CES in January, and will stop selling its dual-OS Transformer AiO.
The Journal cited an internal Asus memo, which said Microsoft had a "new policy" of not supporting dual-OS products, though Microsoft said its policies haven't changed. A source also suggested that patent issues were to blame. Last year, Samsung announced its own dual-OS laptop, the Ativ Q, but patent issues reportedly prevented this device from coming to market as well.
It's unclear whether Huawei's about-face on dual-OS smartphones is connected to the sudden demise of dual-OS PCs, or if it's just a case of coincidental timing.
This story, "Huawei won't dual-boot Windows Phone and Android after all" was originally published by PCWorld.

Everyone's favourite cranky uncle Rex Murphy just can't understand why more people don't like Stephen Harper. Christ, he's been prime minister for seven years. Can't you jerks give the guy a break already?
As it turns out, no. A new poll released last week showed that most people who didn't vote for Harper still, somehow, don't like Harper. Go figure!
To Rex Murphy, however, this just shows that people are being close-minded about ol' Steve, who is probably a really rad dude. In his National Post column, he begs his readers to reconsider:
For, step back a little, make a little space, and you will see that in his personal and domestic conduct, Harper is almost stereotypically Canadian. He's a mild, unobnoxious, hockey-mad fellow. He doesn't boast. He shuns the spotlight he could be commanding every day. He keeps his privacy and doesn't insist, like many public figures, in conducting a soap opera around his position or his family. He'd be the ideal neighbour — he wouldn't just drop in, too reserved for that (which is great), but I'm sure he'd lend a shovel when needed. Probably even help dig out your car if you were stuck, and take your thanks with a self-conscious smile and reassurance that it was no trouble.
This imaginary Harper, whom Rex has obviously spent many hours contemplating, stands in stark contrast to the Harper described in Lawrence Martin's 2010 book Harperland. In that book, both critics and loyalists describe the "dark, vindictive side of his character" and how intensely personal politics is to him. He is driven, above all else, by a deep "hatred for his opponents".
Both of these things could be true, of course, and just because Harper might be a good neighbour doesn't mean people who disagree with him politically are all wrong. But for Murphy, this is just another excuse to trot out his liberal elitist strawman, proof that all of Harper's opponents just think themselves superior to the prime minister because, "after all, they have the best tables at Twitter Café."
Murphy doesn't explain what exactly "Twitter Café" is but it's probably best not to challenge him on this. He is, after all, very knowledgeable about technology.
I urge anyone thinking of buying a tablet to get the Playbook. It is actually way cooler and more practical to carry around.

Indiegogo campaign aims to send handwritten notes to families of Newtown victims
For those of us who get most of our mail electronically, this is the one time of year when we actually get meaningful snail mail, in the form of holiday greeting cards. And we love them because there's something novel about an old-fashioned, paper-and-ink card (especially if the ink comes from a pen), and because knowing that someone put in a little extra effort to send a kind message makes us feel warm and fuzzy.
So imagine how mailboxes full of handwritten cards could lift the spirits of the families whose hearts were broken last Dec. 16, when a gunman went on a shooting rampage at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., killing six adults and 20 young children.
That's what Adam King thought about when he and a friend launched the Notes for Newtown campaign this week, with the one-year anniversary of the massacre approaching. King lives in Jamaica Plain and is a footwear developer at Reebok. He has no personal connection to Newtown or any of the victims' families.
He is, as he put it, "just an average guy who was appalled and wondered if there was something that could help."
The idea is simple: send a ton of cards to those who lost loved ones. But King knows that most people won't mail a card for any number of reasons. They don't have time. They don't have envelopes and stamps because they never use them. They don't even know where to send a card.
Notes for Newtown aims to remove those barriers. You submit the text of your note online, and Notes for Newtown does the handwriting, stamping and mailing for you. You don't have to write an essay. In fact, there is a 160-character limit on each message. That's only slightly longer than a tweet.
Isn't this effort a little late?
King and his partner, Les Charles, think the timing is actually perfect.
"After a while, the coverage goes away, but they still have to deal with it every day," King explained. "Wouldn't it be cool if we could do something for them a year later? To say we haven't forgotten you."
To pay for the paper, stamps and manpower needed to mail a boatload of cards, King and Charles are trying to raise $5,000 on the crowdfunding website Indiegogo. They estimate that will cover about 2,000 cards.
Notes for Newtown will begin taking submissions shortly after the Indiegogo campaign concludes next month. If backers exceed the goal, the extra money will go to the Newtown Memorial Fund.
And here's one more cool thing: King told me he and Charles weren't sure whether a crowdfunding campaign could work, but said they are regular readers of The Hive and were encouraged by stories about other successful fund-raising projects.
So all you innovators out there should be proud. You helped inspire Notes for Newtown.

Helping the Hurting
The question of what I love most has a simple answer: people. I love to be around people, I love to help people, and I love to take care of people. This would explain my current position as a caregiver and my future dream of becoming a nurse. My dream is one that can certainly be accomplished: I have already taken the first few steps, finishing my prerequisites in college and acquiring a job as a caregiver at a retirement community. I've even been accepted into nursing school recently. I have never wanted a job that would turn heads or make others notice me; instead, I want to be the one to notice others. To me, it doesn't make sense to even contemplate a lifestyle that doesn't include caring for those who need my help.
In our world, people are always hurting. Be it physically, emotionally, or psychologically… people hurt. Often times, it takes just one other person, one individual who cares, one human who sends a smile because they've been there, to relieve that pain. I want to be that "other person." As a nurse, I will be the one to hold someone's hand when they're about to go into surgery. I will be the one who listens to their stories and their fears of needles. I will be the one trying, with every fiber of my being, to make someone's life a little easier that day. I will change the world, one hurting person at a time.

Man returned to Kentucky to face murder charge

Man returned to Kentucky to face murder charge
Updated: 9:40 AM EDT Jul 16, 2014
GLASGOW, Ky. —
A southern Kentucky man charged with killing his wife has been returned to Glasgow after being arrested in an Ohio park.
The Glasgow Daily Times reported that 35-year-old John William Amis was taken in to the Barren County Detention Center on Tuesday night. Jail records list his bond at $1 million cash and do not list an attorney for him.
Amis is charged with one count of murder and two counts of felony tampering with evidence after Lorine Dawn LaBombard was pronounced dead on June 16 at the T.J. Samson Community Hospital in Glasgow.
Police arrested Amis on Friday inside a tent in East Fort State Park near Batavia, Ohio.

UFO Religion Founder Leads Topless Women in March Down Lincoln Road; Nobody Looks up From California Rolls
While we don't necessarily agree that aliens created life on Earth, we do concur that fat guys should have to wear bikinis. |
Riptide just doesn't know how some people find the time. Take Claude Vorilhon, for instance. The French "sports-car journalist" changed his name to Raël and in 1974 founded Raëlism, a religion based on his personal encounter with aliens who created the Earth, which of course had nothing to do with the enormous amount of psychotropics he was ingesting at the time.
Well, Raël is also the founder of GoTopless.org, an organization dedicated to fighting for a woman's right to bare her chest in public. And on Sunday afternoon, Raël's half-naked minions will descend on cities across the country -- including Lincoln Road in South Beach --- to protest the injustice of laws that allow men, but not women, to flaunt their nips.
From the press release:
GoTopless.org includes not only Raelians, who believe all life on Earth was created by advanced extraterrestrial scientists called the Elohim, but women and men representing many other beliefs. GoTopless's primary goals: nationwide legal recognition of women's right to go bare-chested and its acceptance by the public.
"Breasts are noble parts of the anatomy," said Raelian Priestess Nadine Gary, president of GoTopless.org. "They shouldn't have to be hidden any more than arms or legs. 'Free your breasts, free your mind!' is our message to women. Men can practice respecting a freedom they take for granted and help end the puritanical idea that children shouldn't see breasts unless a woman is nursing."
But something tells us the great majority of spectators for this march will care little about neither female rights nor alien creators. It'll just be the same pervy dudes who lurk around the free yoga classes at Flamingo Park.
Anyway, oblivious pervs and topless women alike should report to the north corner of Lincoln Road and Washington Street at 3 p.m. on Sunday.

The fountainhead of all philosophy and religion, teaches Brother David Steindl-Rast, is our sense of amazement at being in the world. To cross the gap between doctrine and the divine, we have been given the gift of prayer. On The Grateful Heart, you will hear Brother David describe prayer not as a dogmatic ritual, but as a way of opening to the blessings that await us in everyday life.
Since 1953, when Brother David retreated to the Mount Savior monastery in upstate New York, he has studied what he calls the lifting up of the human heart and mind to God. On The Grateful Heart, he focuses on the major characteristics of prayer, including: perennial prayer—the inner gesture that is the essence of prayer in all cultures and religions; the evolution and history of prayer, including the prayer house movement; and the future of prayer. With a passion for life, Brother David inspires a welcome dialogue that embraces the intellectual as well as the spiritual.

It's an alliance that owns just one station, which limits docking rights to anyone but the 3 corp members, effectivly locking everything inside.They are unbribeable because they are alts of the people that have no interest in betraying each other as there is no gain for them, they are also that high up in leadership they would shoot themselves in the foot if they did bite.
Currently, outpost destruction is only a dream. When you flip a station, there is a certain amount of satisfaction in the act, but it is hardly the death blow to alliances in this current climate of sprawling coalitions. It takes very little effort for a "defeated" alliance to slide one of their spy alts into the station, transfer over what is not able to be hauled out in the first undock, then ferry things out to friendly jump-capable ships put in place just before downtime, one convoy at a time. In that way, slow though it might be, you can eventually finish your evacuation of assets despite the loss of sovereignty and outpost control. Historically, the only thing really lost when sov is flipped is pride and the assets of some line members who weren't paying attention.
For many alliances over the years, the sov loss was only the outward sign of an internal collapse which was already underway. Usually, the two come hand in hand, so there is a correlation between sov loss and alliance collapse. However, correlation is not causation. A handful of alliances have been stomped into the ground, only to rise back from the ashes time and time again. So people who aren't thinking about the mechanics marvel at these phoenix-like alliances and say things like "Red Alliance never dies!" or "AAA does not forgive" (suggesting you can beat them down but they'll come back and return the favor). These alliances survive despite sov losses simply because they never actually lose much.
So, how do you hit an enemy where it hurts? How do you actually harm them? How do you finish them?

Manfred, of Pandemic Legion, pulled out an idea he had back when Pandemic Legion were rolling Northern Coalition, a work around that effectively "removes" the outpost. He had initially pitched it to Vince, but the idea never went further than the drawing board. Instead of flipping the station to the victorious alliance (in this case, PL), which would allow anyone with a spy on the blue list to access the station and thus evac the outpost, they created a new alliance. Deadzoned is an alliance with a single corporation. That corporation has only three members, each a person who can be trusted not to be persuaded by the bribes an alliance with trillions of stuck assets would offer up. The new alliance has the station locked down for alliance access only, effectively limiting access to the station to those three unbribeable people.
So what's left inside R3P0-Z? 200+ JF loads worth of minerals (T2/T1). 500+ fit Maelstroms from their SRP. Countless trapped assets of line members. To put these numbers into perspective, SOLAR alliance has between 1-2 trillion isk worth of assets locked up now. A trillion isk is roughly $30,000. Gone. What would you do to get that back? It will be interesting to see how this progresses. Thus far, SOLAR numbers remain perfectly flat. No one has jumped ship. Business as usual. No need to panic.
Right now, SOLAR and PL are in a staring contest. Who will blink first? Will Pandemic Legion let the station slip into SOLAR-friendly hands some day, by either forgetting about it or being busy elsewhere? Will SOLAR collapse? Will SOLAR and PL negotiate a settlement? There's a lot on the line, so it is unlikely either will back down quietly from this new turn of events. Three people have the keys and they remain anonymous. Manfred calls station locking the new meta and sends of an ominous parting comment:
"Whats the next Deadzone? Stay tuned!"

So let's discuss my recent MAC purchase.:)
Along with some basic goodies that I've been putting off getting, I also ordered Viva Glam Nicki. What the heck, if it doesn't work, the money still goes to an amazing cause and I'm a life long Viva Glam fan anyway. Nicki Minaj, not so much of a fan of hers, but she definitely is grabbing the attention of the beauty industry like, MAC and OPI.
I first, exfoilated my lips and moisturized them, at the advise of Erica of The Glamorous Gleam's post on VG Nicki. The formula of the lippie is a satin and it will bring out every flake and crease. That it does! Even after applying, I saw these crazy creases in my lips!!
I used NK liner in Brown from my local BSS...probably a close color to MAC Chesnut and topped with MAC Dazzleglass in Steppin' Out.....
I have to say....I love Viva Glam Nicki!!! Its a beautiful bright workable pink. Ladies of the brown shade persuasion, don't be afraid of it. I've worn it three days in a row!

The whipping boys are on tonight.
PREGAME: It's a crisp fall evening tonight as the Tigers look to manufacture a 4 game winning streak. The Tigers send out Nate Robertson who takes the spot of the gimpy-hip'd Kenny Rogers. It is Robertson's first start since he filled the Ballpark in Arlington with firework smog during a 5 homer, 3.2 inning stinker.
The A's send out Dana Eveland. The Tigers faced him once this year and he walked 7 batters and didn't make it out of the 5th inning. He was later demoted, but since returning has walked only 4 spanning 3 starts to go along with 14 K's and no homers.
OAK @ DET, Tuesday, September 9, 2008 Game Preview – Baseball-Reference.com
Game Time 7:05
POSTGAME: Well, Nate Robertson wasn't the problem. Nate went 7 innings on only 79 pitches, 60 of them for strikes. The A's are a poor offensive club, but that is a very nice line regardless. But then there was the bullpen. Leery of the fact that Robertson hadn't started in a few weeks, he didn't want to extend him to far so he went to a Farnsworth-less (groin injury) bullpen in the 8th.
Leyland ripped into the Bobby Seay walk and the Fernando Rodney 0-2 pitch leading to a triple. Rodney ended up blowing the save. His first blown save since the Tampa melt down, a span that included 14 games, a 2.12 ERA, and 9 saves in 14 games.
The offense did little, except return to their double play ways. Ordonez is an amazing 2 for 12 in bases loaded situations this year, and was one of the culprits. Inge lined into a tough luck double play. Granderson is a remarkable 0 for 11 in this series. Remarkable in the sense that he hasn't reached base in the last 2 games after having pushed his OBP to .391. Ergh.
The whipping boys are on tonight.
Robertson has been good against the Sacramento A's so far tonight.
Okay… Emil Brown is batting third. Just… I… COME ON!
Update: And he's DH!
btw I'm starting to put some stock in that Forbes article about Tigers fans being among the least loyal of fanbases. Over at SB Nation, nearly every other team's game threads manage well over a hundred posts a night. Bless You Boys currently has two.
I have noticed that a lot with people that I would always talk tigers with…many claim they don't follow anymore cause they are out of it. I think that the majority of sports fans just like football better. Even this blog proves it to be true.
It's weird, because Oakland's page at SB is still thriving, as are those of other out of it teams like Seattle. The only team that has as few posts as the Tigers' page is the Marlins' — a team that has never caught on with the local population. What's up, Detroit?
If the team wasn't so completely and utterly underachieving, there would be more interest. This was the team that was supposed to score 9 million runs and clinch a post season spot in July, remember? Fans take a cue from the players, who (up until the last few games) seem to have mentally checked out long ago.
Plus, what's not to love about football in the D? Will the Lions win 3 or 4 games this year? Woo-hoo, I can hardly wait 'til Sunday!
On the plus side, it looks like Nate can at least shut down a minor league roster of Oakland A's players through the first five innings.
If he can pitch against these jokers scrubs again tomorrow night, he could get his ERA down below 6.00!
Edit – sorry, forgot my Bay area vernacular for poor players.
It's true. The Tigers have mostly band wagon fans. Most are not even baseball fans.
fyi Dusty Ryan is on fyyyyyyyahhhh!!!
All right, Chief, I'll admit it. Most fans are of the bandwagon variety, and maybe 50% of the people in the stadium even remotely pay attention to the game. Sad but true.
It should provide some good deals at StubHub.com to watch some of the last few games of the year in person, though.
Is today the first day for yhe Sheff HR tracker? For some reason I feal that sign will cause Sheff to produce even less.
This is the first time I've seen it, Jim
8:30, and it's the seventh inning. It's like the exact opposite of yesterday.
Robertson at 79 pitches through 7 innings and now he is gone. I don't understand. Oh wait, now I rememeber, the manager is Jim Leyland.
Bandwagon fans are the fans down here in Tampa. The rays fans, red sox fans, and yankees fans down here make me want to hurl.
God our bullpen sucks
Leyland is retarded
I do not ever want to see Rodney again. WTF.
Granderson is in a slump… Clutch hitting is aweful tonight. Tigers should have put up 4 more runs.
Polly doubles. At least that takes the GIDP away.
CHris you are right about the offense. But Nate is just the unluckiest pitcher I've ever seen.
Because "awful" , in Middle English, was spelled as "aweful" (or, technically, "aueful", since they didn't actually have a w), I choose to believe that Chris is simply a time traveler from the 12th century rather than that he is just trying to irk me with his oddly consistent misspelling.
This loss definitely belongs to Leyland. Robertson was on a roll and could have easily completed this game.
I agree, the clutch hitting, as well as the relief pitching, has been offal.
Vince: Ha!
Chris: This loss… hasn't occurred yet. But as you're a time traveler who knows what wondrous things you've seen!
Ziegler's delivery is all kinds of nutty
Like Leyland overthinking the 8th inning pitching situation, I like to overthink the spelling of the word "aweful".
NOW the loss has happened. Recommence with the attribution of blame.
"Chris: This loss… hasn't occurred yet. But as you're a time traveler who knows what wondrous things you've seen!"
No. I just look at Ziegler's ridiculously low 0.53 ERA in 50 innings and I see no possible way this un-clutch lineup wins this game. None. And time proves me right.
BTW, who else here is rooting for the Lions to lose their next few games in hope that it will prompt the end of Millen & co?
That is silly, and hopefully hyperbolic. Of course a win was unlikely, but by no means was a loss a certainty — there were two men on base to end the game, it's not like Ziegler was dominating.
Do people really think the Tigers have fair-weather fans?
That's absurd. Check the ESPN scoreboard. For almost every game they list attendance and what % of the seats were filled.
The tigers are having a crappy year. It's a boring series. And it's a weeknight. Yet over 90% of the seats were filled at Comerica Park.
The Orioles are also having a crappy year. Guess how many of their seats were filled. 30%.
How about the White Sox? They're having a great year. Guess how many of their seats were filled tonight? 60%.
I bet other MLB owners WISH they had these kind of fair-weather fans…
I think Tiger fans are the greatest and most loyal fans in the world. I have yet to meet a fan who has ever jumped ship. Don't confuse not attending games( some people just can't afford it), criticism bordering on insanity( that is what baseball fans do),not watching every or even most games( a lot of people do have another life)with being a fair weather fan. They can be dear to your heart and the closest you ever get to a stat is checking the newspaper every morning for the standings. Some fans think they're more of a fan than others. That is an elitist attitude. Go Tigers.
Nate pitches well and the Tigers lose? What's up with that? To the A's? Come on, man.
Vince – Nate's been in the pen for a while. Not surprising that they're not going to let him go to 100 pitches just yet.
Still makes me glad when the Tigers win. Still bugs me when they lose. But they've played all kinds of lousy baseball this season. Not hard luck, boy they sure tried hard losing. Just lousy baseball. If I lived in Detroit and could go to the games, I certainly wouldn't feel guilty about skipping them, retroactive to early August.
Go Ron. Go Tigers.
I'm talking internet fans, here, ron. Like I said, I was making an observation based on one popular website (SB Nation). Judgment calls — let alone elitism — don't come close to entering into it (to be honest, I couldn't possibly care less about the definition of a "fan").
I just think it's strange that the Tigers have such an inactive page in that community compared to almost every other team (who generally have hundreds of comments per game per night, regardless of how crappy their season has been), and I'm curious as to why that may be. Is there a reason why Detroit fans would be less likely to use the internet than anywhere else in the country save Florida that I am missing? Considering that the Tigers page was thriving in the early portion of the year, I concluded that most internet fans were only interested in the team in the instance in which they were winning.
Dave: I think a lot of people subscribe to the theory of "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything". There hasn't been much positive to talk about with these Tigers in 2008, what with all of the high expectations.
"Dave: I think a lot of people subscribe to the theory of "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything"."
Well, I'm glad we're different. This would be a pretty lonely place…
Yeah, Chris, the disparity between expectations and results is really the key difference between Tigers fans and other fanbases this year. The only apt comparison is with the Yankees, and that probably isn't fair — you know, due to the whole being in New York thing.
I'd say Cleveland would be another good comparison. The Tribe and Tigers were supposed to have a Mexican death match for the division title, at least according to the pundits. Obviously both fanbases are a touch on the disappointed side.
Oh. I also forgot to mention the Mariners, since their payroll is roughly comparable to the Tigers (i.e. well over $100 million). I'm surprised the USS Mariner guys haven't committed ritual suicide yet.
And both the Indians and Mariners have huge amounts of posts each night on their pages. Craziness.
Dave bw aren't internet fans a very small percentage of fans in general? Did Forbes distinguish between the two? And what is SB Nation?
What is wrong with blogging only when thing are going right. This has nothing to to with team loyalty. Maybe loyalty to a site.
It seems, ron, that you're attributing my argument with more nuances than I intended. Yes, internet fans can be assumed to be a small percentage of fans in general, and granted, my first post on this topic was in retrospect needlessly inflammatory.
Anyway, SB Nation is a network of sports fan sites, and isn't necessarily indicative of internet fan behavior in general — though in my experience ALL Tiger fan sites (this one, motownsports, etc) have been slow for over a month. My point has been that posting trends for the Tigers seem to be completely linked to playoff odds, and this does not mesh with the posting patterns of fans of other teams (who seem to be consistently active regardless of performance). This doesn't mean that Detroit fans are absolutely less loyal, but that is one obvious conclusion.
I did not mean for you to construe that I was attributing value judgments to "team loyalty", posting trends, etc. I'm not. For fans that are concerned primarily with winning (which, again, there's nothing intrinsically wrong with) — or even with sound baseball — following a team like this year's Tigers would be ridiculous.
Seattle internet fans are just a bunch of over caffeinated, 2nd generation hippies sitting in rain soaked internet accessible cafes with nothing better to do than baseball blog. Cleveland fans, well they're just idiots. Detroit fans spend most of their time working, looking for jobs, taking care of their families, praying for the welfare of the nation and supporting the Tigers by ordering in Illitch's pizza every other night. It's hard for them to find time to blog when thing are going good. When things go South, they go outside and play catch with the kids, hoping to raise a future Tiger. They have their priorities.
Dave bw Sorry I overreacted. I just love my city so much. Well, at least the suburbs.
Not saying anything about right or wrong or loyalty. But it seems to me that if you're really interested in a team, there's always something to examine, revisit, propose, speculate about, and otherwise discuss. A losing or disappointing season only provides more fuel for this.
In fact, SL, there's MORE to discuss with a losing team. There's only so many ways you can say "Awesome game, tonight!"

Re: Question with code
The best advice I ca give you is when presented with and problem is first pull out a piece of paper. I always do. First write out the requirements in your own words. Then write out the things you may not know how to figure out. Next make a list of the things that you need as input and what you expect as output. Do this in all just normal English and math terms no Java terms. Then I write out a list in order using pseudo code. Like:
if this person spends more than this person then he is a bigger spender.
Then you can re-factor : if one person spending > than person two , bigger spender = person one etc.
some times it is easier to "funnel" down to your solution.
This is the time to ask questions research on the web on how to do things you don't know how to do. Then construct your code. The biggest value besides breaking your large problem down into smaller problems is that then you can post your code to the forum and be able to ask a specific question. Your learning will be accelerated and you will find over time you will establish a workflow where you will be able to figure out more of your own solutions.
hope this helps!

t's not in my best interest to advise executives how best to carry out a scheme to whiten the workforce. But I'm pretty sure that leaving a paper-trail is the dumbest way to do it, which is why I'm shocked to see that's how a lawsuit accuses then Wet Seal senior vice president, Barbara Bachman, of doing it. If it's true, I don't understand what's gotten into people these days. Proving racism is not the sort of thing you're supposed to make easy.
During the trial — if the racial discimination lawsuit against the company ever gets that far — I can see Bachman,who was the second in command of the company, sitting on the witness stand when the attorney for the plaintiff approaches and grills her about the email she allegedly wrote. (It starts on page 24 of the complaint below.)
Racial Discrimination Lawsuit Filed Against Wet Seal
Attorney: "Ms. Bachman, do you have a copy of the e-mail dated Monday, Mar 02?"
Bachman: "Yes."
Attorney: "And do you notice who is listed as the sender of this e-mail?"
Bachman: "Yes."
Attorney: "And who is that Ms. Bachman?"
Bachman: "Me."
Attorney: "And did you send this e-mail Ms. Bachman?"
Bachman: "Yes."
Attorney: "And do you notice the part of the email that says "Store teams – need diversity. African American dominate – huge issue."
Bachman: "Yes."
Attorney: "What did you mean by "huge issue," Ms. Bachman?"
Bachman's e-mail is exhibit 1 in a lawsuit filed yesterday in a California federal court by three African-Americans who are former Wet Seal managers. The lawsuit alleges that the company had a policy of firing, failing to promote, and raise the wages of blacks, because they did not fit the Wet Seal "brand image." It promises that more damning documents will be presented to the court. Face. Palm.
In case you're wondering what Wet Seal is, it's a chain store that should be boycotted sells sexy and funky clothing and accessories to teenage girls and the young at heart. In 2009, African-American R&B singer Keri Hilson celebrated the release of her album, In a Perfect World at New York City's Union Square Wet Seal store.
I've never faced outright racial discrimination in the workplace, but if I did and the company created a paper trail for me, I'm afraid I'd have to sue. Even if there were a part of me that didn't want the stress, hassle and stigma associated with litigation, I could not resist responding to the taunt implied in an e-mail like this. It's just begging for a legal beat down.

JACKSON, Miss. — The Coast Guard reopened the swollen Mississippi River north of New Orleans on Tuesday, allowing cargo vessels on the nation's busiest waterway to pass one-by-one in the latest effort to reduce pressure from rising floodwaters.
A 15-mile stretch at Natchez, Miss., was closed entirely earlier in the day, blocking vessels heading toward the Gulf of Mexico and others trying to return north after dropping off their freight. Had the channel remained closed, it could've brought traffic to a standstill up and down the river, which moves about 500 million tons of cargo each year.
That sort of interruption could've cost the U.S. economy hundreds of millions of dollars for every day of idled barges carrying coal, timber, iron, steel and more than half of America's grain exports.
Coast Guard officials said wakes generated by passing barge traffic could increase the strain on levees designed to hold back the river. Authorities were also concerned that barges could not operate safely in the flooded river, which has risen to the level of some docks and submerged others.
"We're closely monitoring traffic along the river and all vessels must stay to the center of the river," Coast Guard Cmdr. Mark Moland said.
It's not clear how long barges would only be able to move one at a time through the section. The river is expected to stay high in some places for weeks.
The Coast Guard did not have comprehensive figures on how many vessels were immediately affected, but the agency stopped at least 10 near Natchez on Tuesday.
In past closures, the numbers have grown quickly. In 2008, the agency halted 59 ships within a day of shutting down a stretch of the river near New Orleans because of a barge and tanker collision.
Shipping companies had hoped for a swift reopening.
On a typical day, 600 barges move up and down the river, according to Bob Anderson, spokesman for the Mississippi Valley Division of the Army Corps of Engineers. A single barge can carry as much cargo as 70 tractor-trailers or 17 rail cars.
"When it shuts, there's really no alternative," said Jim Reed, president of the Illinois Corn Growers Association.
The Coast Guard's traffic-management division hoped to prevent barges from piling up on either side of the closed zone by requiring them to be at least 1,200 feet apart.
Also Tuesday, at least 10 freight terminals along the lower Mississippi between Baton Rouge and New Orleans suspended operations because of high water. Vessels scheduled to use the terminals will either have to wait out the high water or divert elsewhere. Delaying a vessel by even a single day often costs $20,000 to $40,000, port officials said.
Throughout the spring, the Mississippi is a highway for barges laden with corn, soybeans and other crops headed from the Midwest to ports near New Orleans, where they get loaded onto massive grain carriers for export around the world.
The closure helped push corn, wheat and soybean prices higher Tuesday.
Traders were already nervous about tight supplies of all three crops. Farmers are behind on their planting because of cold, wet weather. At the same time, global supplies have been depleted by rising demand from ethanol makers and livestock producers.
The price of corn jumped 22.75 cents to $7.20 a bushel, while soybeans rose 14.5 cents, to $13.41 a bushel. Wheat rose 27.5 cents to settle at $7.64 a bushel.
While prices might spike in the short-term, flooding and port closures along the Mississippi River probably will not affect crop prices for long, said John Sanow, an analyst with DTN Telvent.
Traders are more worried that flooded acreage won't be replanted with corn, he said.
If the closure had persisted, the crop exports most likely to be affected are corn and soybeans, said Jason Ward, analyst with Northstar Commodity in Minneapolis.
The port, the largest in terms of tonnage in the United States, handles 54 percent of the nation's annual grain exports. It handles about 60,000 barges a year, along with 4,500 to 5,000 deep-draft vessels that carry grain and other bulk cargo such as steel.
The Mississippi also conveys most of New England's home heating oil and gasoline, along with 20 percent of America's coal, according to the American Waterways Operators, the trade group of the barge operators.
The closure was the third in a series of recent moves designed to protect homes and businesses behind levees and floodwalls along the river.
Over the weekend, the Army Corps opened the Morganza Spillway, choosing to flood rural areas with fewer homes to protect Baton Rouge and New Orleans. Another spillway near New Orleans was opened earlier, but it did not threaten homes.
The river is expected to crest Saturday in Natchez at 63 feet, down a half-foot than earlier predictions. But that level is still nearly five feet above a record set in 1937. It could take weeks for the water to recede.
Natchez Mayor Jake Middleton said if the city's levees were damaged, it could endanger hospitals, a convention center and historic buildings both in Natchez and across the river in Louisiana.
The floodwaters have displaced more than 4,800 people in Mississippi, including 80-year-old Leslie J. Sherwin, who was pushed out of his house in Tunica County three weeks ago and into a shelter.
"The road is cutoff. The house is flooded, and I can't even go home," Sherwin said. "But hey, nothing lasts forever. I've been knocked down many times. I'm just going to do what I've got to do, day by day."

Butternut Squash Soup in the Slow Cooker, Naturally Gluten-Free
Nourishing and warming Butternut Squash Soup in the Slow Cooker is naturally gluten-free.
Butternut squash is easy to cook several different ways, including the slow cooker, the stove top, the microwave or the oven. I've used each method in the past and found that they all have their advantages.
For this recipe I focused more on the set-it-and-forget aspect of a crock pot to cook the squash while I went about doing other things for a while.
All I did before putting it in the crockpot was to halve it and seed it.
Gluten-Free Roasted Chicken
Gluten-free roasted chicken with spice rub is a great way to perk up your dinner.
The aroma…the texture…and the taste are different, even if the same seasonings are used, as your favorite chicken breast recipes. Of course, chicken pieces are often easy to make and usually quick to cook, which makes them popular for a weeknight meal in a busy schedule.
I know because I often have gluten-free chicken on my menu. Everyone in the family enjoys eating it.
However, a whole chicken roasting in the oven is an entirely different dish than just chicken breasts or thighs. As I said, the aroma is different. The texture is different. And the taste is different, so…
…try a whole roasted chicken, unstuffed, with a spice rub for dinner. It takes a little longer to cook than chicken pieces, but once it is in the oven, it is easy from there on. A whole chicken can also be stuffed, but that adds to the cooking time, so I'm going with the simpler, shorter option with this recipe.
Sweet Potato Chili
Do you ever wonder what you can do with sweet potatoes?
Can you imagine sweet potato chili?
A lot of people, some of them in my own family, would rather go hungry than eat sweet potatoes.
But, due to a medical problem I was recently diagnosed with, they are getting only what I can cook and eat for myself… poor babies.
So, it's out with the old standbys like white potatoes, rice, and GF pasta. And, in with the new like…
Braised Beef , Gluten-Free, Paleo or Low Carb
Braised round steak is a stick-to-your-ribs kind of meal that will fill up hungry teenagers and satisfy even the most die-hard meat-and-potatoes lover. It can be served "au jus" or with a thickened gravy.
My mom taught me to cook this is braised beef round steak. In fact, it's one of my earliest childhood memories.
The recipe that my mother taught me survived conversion to gluten-free in 2000, when I was forced to go gluten-free by my celiac disease. And, it remained a family favorite ever since.
Chicken Broccoli Parmesan in the Slow Cooker
My husband did not like chicken or sour cream much at all when I met him, but he has since become a fan of them both, especially when they are together in dishes like this saucy gluten-free chicken and vegetable combination.
I especially like how easy this is to put together – it has simple ingredients that don't take much preparation except to add to the crock pot. I could easily throw it together before rushing out the door to work or to an appointment, and then later I can come home to a delicious dinner.
Gluten-Free Banana Strawberry Smoothie
Smoothies are among my favorite treats!
Even my husband, Al, loves this Gluten-Free Banana Strawberry Smoothie… almost beyond reason. If I forget and set mine down and walk away…leaving it momentarily unguarded… Well, I guess you can imagine what happens then 🙁 …
… He'd probably say something quite male like: "If you snooze, you lose" or "You got what you deserved"… The bottom line? I don't usually do that… EVER! But, that's enough about Al.
Not only is the flavor of this smoothie like a dessert but… It's good for me, too… For breakfast, lunch, dinner or snacks. It's full of powerhouse nutrients, vitamins and minerals!
There are many different ways to make smoothies, but this is a good way to start if you've never done it before…
… Or, if you love smoothies, I want you to know that this is my favorite smoothie recipe of all time!!!

By JOSHUA FREED
By JOSHUA FREED
It was another record day on Wall Street — barely.
After spending most of Friday flat or down, stocks rallied at the last minute and closed slightly higher, just enough to post new record highs for the Dow Jones industrial average and the Standard & Poor's 500 index.
The gains were tiny. And the new record doesn't mean much for investors, who hardly have any more money now than they did a day earlier. But it is a sign that investors believe the market's rally this year may not be over yet.
The S&P 500 has closed higher seven days in a row. The last time it did that was in March.
Investors had to look past a pessimistic outlook from UPS, which said it was seeing a slowdown in U.S. industry. And in the afternoon, Boeing shares tanked after one of its 787s caught on fire in London, reviving fears of the troubles that plane had with smoldering batteries earlier this year.
Other economic news was mixed. Profits at big banks Wells Fargo and JP Morgan came in better than expected, and that helped financial stocks. But a University of Michigan measure of consumer sentiment came in lower than expected for this month.
Investors will get a lot more information next week, when key reports on inflation and retail sales are due. That's also when the pace of company earnings reports picks up sharply. Results are due from the remaining big banks as well as General Electric, Intel, Microsoft and other industry bellwethers.
"This is the jump ball, this is the Lebron James of the market," said David Darst, chief investment strategist for Morgan Stanley Individual Investor Group, referring to the second-quarter earnings rush. "It's going to determine where the market goes."
The Dow closed up 3.38 points, just 0.02 percent, at 15,464.30. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 5.17 points, or 0.3 percent, to 1,680.19. Both indexes also closed at all-time highs on Thursday.
The Nasdaq composite edged up 21.78 points, or 0.6 percent, to 3,600.08. It's still well short of its record high of 5,048, set in March 2000.
The Russell 2000, which is made up of smaller companies, rose 3.35 points, or 0.3 percent, to close at 1,036.52.
All the big indexes are ahead for the week.
Stocks spent most of Friday down, but not down much. Analysts believe investors are waiting for several major earnings and economic reports next week before deciding whether the rally has further to run.
Anthony Conroy, managing director and head trader for ConvergEx Group, thinks it's likely that stocks will move higher, as long as second-quarter earnings reports at least match the low expectations that investors have. "The three most important things in the next couple of weeks are earnings, earnings, and earnings," he said.
Cost-cutting boosted profits at Wells Fargo, and its stock rose 74 cents, or 1.8 percent, to $42.63. JPMorgan Chase reported a 32 percent jump in profits, but its stock fell 17 cents to $54.97.
Conroy said JPMorgan's credit numbers were strong. "That means the consumer's out there spending and borrowing and propping up the whole economy, and that's a good thing," he said.
United Parcel Service sank $5.33, or 5.8 percent, to $86.12 after saying its second-quarter and full-year earnings will be less than analysts have been expecting because the company's customers are using cheaper shipping options. UPS also said it's seeing a slowdown in U.S. industry.
FedEx fell, too. Its shares were down $2.11, or 2 percent, to $102.29.

Unstoppable awards juggernaut "Argo" won yet another award Saturday night as New York screenwriter Chris Terrio, Wired journalist Joshuah Bearman ("The Great Escape") and ex-CIA analyst Tony Mendez ("The Master of Disguise") won USC's 25th annual Scripter Award. The Scripters go to adapted scripts as well as the original writers. It may have been just as well that the expected Scripter winners, "Team of Rivals" author Doris Kearns Goodwin and "Lincoln" screenwriter Tony Kushner, were snowed in on the East Coast.
"We're an anxious breed," said Bearman as he accepted for the BAFTA-bound Terrio and Mendez. Adaptations are scary, he added. But in this case producer David Klawans, who encouraged him to write the Tony Mendez story after it became declassified in 1997, saying it would make a great movie, and Smokehouse's Grant Heslov and George Clooney, who optioned the material adapted by Terrio, and finally director Ben Affleck delivered a movie he could be proud of, Bearman said.
The question is whether this award, which is voted on by 41 critics, screenwriters and film professionals (including me), suggests that the movie is heading toward another upset over "Lincoln" at the Writers Guild next week –not to mention the adapted screenplay Oscar. "Argo" was one of six Scripter nominees including "Beasts of the Southern Wild," "Life of Pi," "Lincoln," "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" and "Silver Linings Playbook."
Every year the USC libraries mount the elegant fundraiser dinner at the book-lined Doheny Library. The dinner looks like "Hogwarts on steroids," said USC Libraries board president Glenn Sonnenberg.
The other winners Saturday, accepting the USC Scripter Literary Achievement Award, were writing partners Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana. Films garnered from McMurtry's writing ("Hud," "The Last Picture Show," "Terms of Endearment," "Brokeback Mountain") have won 13 Oscars over the years.
Variety broke the news at 7 am that "Argo" had won the Scripter, breaking the embargo, and then removed the link, posting again at 10:45 PM. Other media showed up to cover the awards live.
"Bureaucracies and organizations make it hard to do the right thing sometimes," Terrio told THR. "So ultimately I hope that this movie is kind of about somebody trying to do the right thing amidst a lot of reasons not to."

Read more: IBM cloud computing software as a service cloud services
IBM is to launch two community-based cloud initiatives for both federal and municipal governments in the US. The Federal Community Cloud will provide a shared IT infrastructure to government users only. The product, which will enable US government agencies to run programs and access data, will be sold for a monthly subscription fee. IBM will release its Municipal Shared Services Cloud and a pilot project will offer local governments software-as-a-service until mid-2011. After reviewing the project, the company may begin selling the product as a service. Several cities in New York and Michigan have already signed up for the municipal pilot programme. Independent software companies will be allowed to provide their products on the platform. Two customers have already signed up to use IBM's Federal Community Cloud. The service will be available after IBM receives US government certification under the Federal Information Security Management Act. GTB

Ah, we're inching closer to the Canada Day long weekend. Can't wait. How's your week going? Hope it's been smooth sailing.
I baked a batch of Blueberry Almond Quinoa cookies...and they're not too bad for you. I've had two this morning already. Good start ;)
Blueberry Almond Quinoa Cookies - makes about 20
1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
1/4 cup almond meal
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup apple sauce
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
4 large egg whites
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup cooked quinoa, cooled
3/4 cup rolled oats
1 cup dried blueberries
1/2 cup chopped almonds
Preheat oven to 350f/180c. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together, flour, almond meal, baking soda, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, beat together the butter, maple syrup, brown sugar and apple sauce for a couple of minutes. Beat in the egg whites and almond extract for another couple of minutes. Add flour mixture, a little at a time, stirring with a wooden spoon, to combine. Fold in the quinoa, oats, blueberries and almonds.

It has been snowing in Crested Butte, where people pray and dance for snow; the whole winter economy is predicated on snow. Crested Butte's old miners used to call snow "the only crop that never failed." They also used to say, "You can't eat the scenery." But Crested Butte and most mountain communities have been surviving economically on a diet of commodified scenery for the past several decades. Let the snow come.
But winter looks different from where I live in Gunnison, just 30 miles down valley; it brings more cold than snow. The town is located in a basin at the confluence of several big valleys, and since cold air, like water, flows downhill, these valleys all drain cold air down to Gunnison. A classic inversion — a layered lake of cold dense air trapped under the high-pressure areas that often settle over the Colorado Plateau and Southern Rockies for weeks at a time in winter. A cold lake into which we release bubbles of carbon gases from furnaces working overtime and cars idling to warm up every morning, until the cold lake is befouled enough to be almost visible. Looking up at the low weak winter sun is like looking up from underwater. A high ratio of cold to snow makes for a mean time.
My general enthusiasm for life tends to follow the mercury. But today, there is a lot in the cultural as well as the natural environment that makes winter feel like a metaphor for life in general.
Nationally, most of us are in the sixth year of what is settling out to be a chronic near-recession — call it an "economic winter." I confess that not long ago, when someone started railing against the government, I used to reply almost automatically: "But the government is us." I no longer believe that. From where I live, down on the ground, the three branches of government all appear to be mostly in service to the denizens of gated communities around Washington's Beltway. They are not us or ours.
Whatever happens in Washington, the West always seems slightly depressed. Wages are chronically low in the amenities economies; costs are always high. Big economic opportunities are limited by low populations and large distances. Most of us accept this as part of the tradeoff for living where we do.
In the Upper Gunnison, we periodically decide to do something about this eternal economic winter and form a new "economic development" organization. The discussion always begins with how to diversify the economy, but eventually it comes down to how to get more people to the ski area, or more students for the college, or both. Yet little changes and just staying flat seems like an achievement.
Another way of looking at this is to acknowledge that we are beginning a forced experiment with a no-growth economy. I wonder how soon the same thing will happen in the mainstream economy, where unemployment remains a serious problem. Earnings outside the gated communities remain nearly flat, and the corporations that now run our society are sitting on their cash rather than investing in growth.
I tend to agree with economists like Paul Krugman, who argue that the nation will not "recover" from this economic winter, which is not a full-blown recession but more like an ongoing mean time, until the government injects some serious public spending into the equation. Heaven knows we need some serious public spending on everything from bridges to water systems — not to mention climate change.
Launching into all of that could put a lot of people back to work. But even the humane economists like Krugman — the ones who don't worship an abstract market — display a certain vagueness about what recovery would actually look like. That may be the question to be contemplating. In the meantime: Let it snow; keep shoveling. It's winter.

The fact that composer/vocalist Mike Kelleher just released "Mélange," an aptly named album of mixed genres, would be more newsworthy than saying he comes off as a genuinely decent person. But in these cynical times, it's actually relevant - especially given his line of work.

The String Quartet was initiated by Joseph Haydn. His pieces were written for, and performed by, the educated amateur, often an aristocrat and his friends and family. It was parlor music in the best sense of that phrase.
This is a piano quartet like you've never seen. Dedicated to "redefining the conventional chamber music concert," the Salut Salon quartet combines ...
Almost a month has passed since I played my final concert as cellist of the Emerson String Quartet after a run of 34 years. After thousands of concerts, incalculable hours of rehearsals, unforgettable meals, joke-telling and schlepping; one moment I was in, and the next I was out.
I've never before said a final goodbye to a piece of music, but just before Christmas I packed up two enormous suitcases of quartet music and took it to my basement storage bin. It was a strange sensation, somewhat ghoulish, like burying one's self alive.
I have told people often, in all seriousness, that I became a cellist in my teens through learning the solo literature, but that I became a musician in my twenties from playing in the Emerson String Quartet.
I must be crazy. I know that I have a great fiddle but, somehow, 11 years later, I also know that this isn't my final instrument. I am looking for my own beautiful Guad like Bernie still dreams about. I am looking for my final viola...
There is a good deal of curiosity about the private lives of string quartets, as if they were bizarre, secret societies. I answered a small variety of questions this way I can begin to give you some idea of what it's really like.
The musicians you and your future partner choose will provide the soundtrack to your distinctive love story, so it is important to consider all aspects before signing the dotted line.
Having announced that I would be vacating my chair as cellist of the Emerson String Quartet I had sailed through the rest of the densely-packed 2011-12 winter season, putting off for a future date the heavy thinking that I knew would come into play as my final year of concerts approached.
Maybe you're like me and know next to nothing about classical music, string quartets, and the men and women who perform it. But none of those things kept me from enjoying A Late Quartet, an impressive indie film.
