Wow, that is the hottest 60 year old I have ever seen. by far the best of all shots. and I am 21. hahaha.
Wow, that's totally cool. I think the 10 year old is most amazing — it's hard to make people look that young when they've passed 20. I would have guessed she was the 30 year old, although I don't know why.
There is something fabulously enigmatic with maturity. I use that word advisedly because I am 62. The truth is, one becomes far more interesting, less demanding, more at ease with your self and that makes you far more attractive.
Besides, 60 is the new 40. Look at Sophia Loren, Raquel Welch to name a few.
No, nothing to fear about being older. Enjoy it to the maximum. Take care. The Baldchemist.
Yes, if you take care of yourself. If not, aging is no picnic.
Powerful stuff, no wonder Gordon Brown looks younger every day.
let me do the 1o year old
i think she doesn't seems to look like 60 at 60. she more to look like 30
yeap, nice work
Maybe because she seems to be right for 30 yr old.. anyway.. i hope for a world full of 60 yr.old ladies like this!
That's amazing!

Look at the teeths they are "not normal". in the first picture they stand to the left side. In the second pictur not. Sorry for improvable English 😉
I think the 10 yo looks at least like 13, the 20 yo is ok, maybe the 30 yo but the 40 and 50 yo (the 60 yo doesn't show)? No way, look at the hands!

Wow, that's really cool. I really stare at the photo that is supposed to be 10 years old… how she looked really young on that photo as if she were a kid.

By my opinion, these photos are not a representation of how well the make up artist or the photographer was able to capture this model looking "50" or looking "10" – anyone who has a critical eye for art should know not to take things literally. I can't read French so I can't get the entire scope of the series, but I would imagine the true statement has to do with embracing age at any age. "You're as young as you feel" if you will. On the other hand, it could be a statement to the categorization of aging. Pretty brilliant stuff

I think the 40 year old looks the best to me. At that age, you've past the stage of caring how others look at you and what they might say. But at 40, women have magnanimous confidence and an inner glow that says "hey, I've come this far. I'm great, I'm confident and I can beat the hell out of you!" It is so attractive — that devil-may-care attitude, that both men and women are attracted to women in their 40s. Look at Madonna, Sharon Stone, Nicole Kidman and Jodie Foster – all women in their 40s, and all ravishing!
Great bone structure and sophistication. All were very good, and if I didn't know what I was seeing I wouldn't be looking for the tell tale signs. Being 10 the give away to me is in the eyes but as I said I was looking – otherwise I would say she (you) are another "Pretty Baby" Brooke Shields with a sensual quality way to young. I won't argue with 20, 30 or 40 and I thought 50 was close to perfect, I could somehow see a touch of hurt experienced through life but next time don't forget the veins in the hands and last sweet 60, even with shading her neck is a give away that she is younger or has had help. This was wonderful fun – Thank you!
[…] Never believe what you see on camera! I normally don't have a lot of time for fancy lighting and make-up techniques, but this is truly extraordinary. […]
Uhhh.. Cool girl in 20 years! 🙂

well done!
Her eyes give away the fact that she's nit 10 in the first image.
For the 20 and 30 ones you've made her look too young but the rest are about right.
wow thats soo sick amazing
Interesting concept – done just so so. The hands don't show any aging nor does the neck – but there are def. age spots on the 10 yr olds chest…30 looks more like a 50 trying to look 30 and missing the mark…take a look at women who are really these ages and you will see lines, loss of fat pads in the face and cheeks, thinning fingers, deepening eye sockets – if you go to the effort and trouble of doing shot, for Gods sake do it the right way!

she looks at her most fabulous at 50. The 10 year old looks at least 17, not much different at 20 but at 30 she looks haggard. At forty pretty good but at 50 truly beautiful. At 60 elegance shines through. I will strive for that look!
I wonder whether it would be possible to prepare the same portfolio using make-up only when she's 50 ;).
damn thats freekin crazy
intrresting… 4 me 30 is so HOT!
i can barely believe those are all the same person!
when she's 40 she looks like michelle pfeiffer.
i applaud her modeling skills!!!
ahh, the power of makeup ❤
who is the arthist? this is amazing..
I'm not surprise that no one want me in my 30ties. Its amazing, she looks georgers in her 50ties and 60ties
The 10 year old is the best. The others are fantastic as well. The 60 year old is almost perfect, but doesn't look 100% genuine– looks a little fake.
veryyyyyyyy beautiful!
quality work
I think she looks more like 10, 16, 20, 30, 35, 50. No way does the 50 look like 50.
Wow really cool
Notice how the 30 year old is a little over the top with make-up?
Is this a single 30 year old in NYC?
Amazing! I wonder how they do it? Make-up and lighting? Nevertheless, BRAVO! 😉

Woah…no one looks that good at age 60. You need large 5 ton containers of make up to look that good.
I don't like to admit it, but this "10 years old" girl's face doesn't look like it really is a 10 years old girl…
But I think it's still a great idea to create such photos…
Thanks for sharing your work with us! Your theme is just awesome!
Wow … classic beauty. Classic pose, AND extraordinary creativity to portray a life time on a page!!
I don't know, the 10 and 50-60 pictures don't work for me. the first if it was 14-15 that would be alright, but not 10. And I have nothing aginst older people but there is something not right – not believable, in the older pictures.
I like the 40 picture best.
Anyway, this is amazing work and the model is sooo pretty
cool idea, but i'm still disturbed.
If my ex-wife had looked that good at 60 i wouldn't have married that 18 year old Gold Digging cheerleader.
When she is forty she looks kinda like Michelle Pfieffer.
I think its the lips…..
She looks Gorgeous in each one though…
It is pretty amazing.
This is wonderful! I have always maintained that you should always determine a womans age by looking at her hands. A well looked after face can hide the age but hands inevitably grow old. I would have instantly figured out that this was a make up job because of the hands. They are as young as ever

wouldnt be nice if we all cld look like this at 60, but in reality who does with out make-up excellent work.
Somehow there seems to be something wrong about the "10-year old" photograph but I guess it would entertain paedophiles. The "30-year old" photograph makes her look like she has a grudge against the world but both the "40-year old" and the "50-year old" photographs just ooze sex-appeal. Amazing photography, and they say the camera never lies!
this is really good, really shows what u can do with tecnology,
Very good, did you notice in the 60 year old photo she did not have any lines on her face like a 60 year old would have. Really very good though.
Yo that's definetly the hottest 60 year old around, the 10 year old only looks 10 because the boobs aren't showing lol 😀
She looks older in the 40 picture than the 50 picture. I hope I look that good at 60, but it would be with a lot of help!
By the age 60 you need a face/chin lift, botox for the wrinkles and an eyelift and probably liposuction for various areas and possibly a tummy tuck. Let's not forget laser resurfacing of the skin too. Whatever it takes to hold it all together as long as you have the money to do so.
Make up is amazing…love the stuff!!
That/s amazing hopefully I will be able to do that & look as good as that when I get to sixty
Although this is an amazing example of how makeup can be used to convey a certain age – and the model must be commended on her amazing ability to capture the essence of each age – I found the 10 yr old photo disturbing due to her concealed, yet alluded to, nudity. I know the model is actually 20, but it still doesn't make it right.
how about 20 years one, looking like ,say , 1 year old?
I prodigi della fotografia e del make-up…
Quando ho visto questa serie di foto della modella (Eniko Mihalik) fotografata dall' età di 10 anni fino a 60 anni, grande è stata la mia meraviglia. Il primo pensiero è stato quello di un'esperimento fotografico reale. In realtà si tratta di un sa…
I find it kind of bizarre that the 10 year old and the 20 year old aren't wearing clothes. Seems to me there's a touch of pedophilia here.
I don't usually click on Stumble Upon's invitations, and this is not a subject I would be interested in, however I quickly scrolled down to the 60-age, and I do not look like that. I am 60.
I look like I am in my 40's, that is not how 60 year olds look today. Just wanted to share that's all. I do agree with the person who commented on the nudity in the younger pictures. I would post my pix, but I am concerned since this is a very public sight and I am not a show off type.
Thank you.
no way!!!!
You're kidding me!!!

Nice ages work!
This must be what they did prior to photoshop!
How wonderful! I must put more effort in to my appearance I think! Amazing what you can do when you are an artist!!
I only hope I would look that good as a 60 year old. I think that is the best photo 🙂
great photos, they look like real, but i think they are photoshopped…
WTF? No 30 yr old I know dresses like that.
WoW amazing!! Just shows you what good maky up and lighting can do…Age is just a number- it's how you previece yourself that counts these days..
Absolutely incredible.
I can see how at 10, they tipped her face back to make her face smaller. Then they moved the lighting to control and generate shadows as she was aged.
I would say it says don't worry about aging, there is always beauty 🙂
its amazing, how creative!
Why did they feel like the 10 yr old pic, she needed to be topless?
woaaw thats amazing i would love to have tha done to me!

saw this linked from fb; had this to say; thought i'd share with everyone else:
no wonder the 40s are the beginnings of the prime of life, it shows in her confidence of style & simplicity… 30s tend to overdo the last stab at being youthful (i used to wear wild nail polish colors with outfits that matched for the entire week–only a classic french now…); 20s wear the freedom of expression with/without clothes; 10 was just naked so you can't really call it tens/teens-without-age-wrinkles & spots. ahh, been there, doin that… looking forward to 50 on up, Lord willing… who's the french translator in the house on the yes-to-this no-to-that statements? what would i be doing with stem cells now??? ;D
wow….what a wonderful art work it is………..

I Love her 30
[…] A 20-year-old model photographed as if she were 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 years old 20Nov08 […]
Awesome, amazing snaps mindblowing.
Really amazing pictures! Special effects can really make anybody look much younger or much older!
I personally find this type of photographing very interesting. I am going through my own personal stage about just what and who determines what is beauty. I was wondering who and what sets the standards. I find it difficult to swallow that once you are past a certain age what you are not beautiful anymore. I think that in our culture men tend to see all these magazine articles and pictures of 20 something women and that is what they base their standards on. I feel personally it is bullshit. I have watched America's Top Model and other shows on how they pick these women and they are not any more beautiful than I am. I just don't get where our society gets off. Beauty is definitely in the eye of the behold and what one person finds attractive is not necessarily the same for some one else. I do have an issue though with the person who wrote that they would do the 10 year old. Sick if you ask me.
Nice job were it not for, in my opinion, a viable means of making a mature woman, even if only 18 to 20 in reality, look as if she's merely ten. There also seemed to be a lack of attention to aging her hands.
This is simply astounding!
That 10 year old one is my favorite. 😉
That's a great cretive idea and shows well the versatility of the make up and the pose used to picture what's desired.
Fascinating, but why is the sixty year old given such a horrific hairstyle?
i have always used various moisturizers for my face. I work on a military installation and the soldiers believe i am about 35 and find it difficult to believe i am 52. I went to the doctor the other day and the Rep. was shocked i was as old as i am she thought i was 30 and just coming home from Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF). I am glad i have continually used moisturizers throughout my life, not to boost but i feel healthy and feel better than ever.
This is not just the result of makeups; the photographer also does tricks with the composition of the photo (esp. on the 10 years old one). By shooting from below the chin, the face looks shorter and more child-like. Second, the older photographs were taken from further away, giving the more graceful look that one gets as one gets older. The model was also acting her age greatly (esp. the sharp eyes of the older photos vs the cheerful eyes in the younger).
Makeup alone cannot produce the illusion here.

Marry me.
I thought the photos were great. Some people think 50-60 yrs can't look good. I have know women in this age range , whom don't have any wrinkles.It can be genetics, taking care of your skin. I'm 55 and my skin is still smooth. I use good face cream, wear a hat in the sun, drink lots of water. don't drink or smoke.
Please, show me a 50 year old woman who really looks like that. Actually, just put her in a box and send her to New Zealand, thanks.
Some genuinely good stuff on this website , I enjoy it.
I think she is beautiful in all stages of life!!! And although I have not been considered beautiful in the same way, cute sometimes but never beautiful, and have had not had any money or privilege in my life, I still hope that I age even a fraction as well regardless. 🙂 I'm almost 40 now and am looking forward to my mature beauty!
Let's see that 60 yr old if she was a smoking, hard drinking & hard living woman….maybe add in many weight gains and family problems/losses and some heartbreak…it is just not real enough…It is totally best case scenario.
I'm a 41yr old female looking to be a model
Interesting photos. A beautiful woman.
This is awesome greatness!! All the photo look like a different lady all beautiful in it's own way!
This is possibly what the age transformation of a wealthy, privileged, surgically enhanced and carefree "model" could look like however it is by no means an accurate account of the reality faced by most.
If you were to do this experiment on a non model and took into account a stressful life, possibly one in poverty and considered factors such as hair thinning, sun sports, skin discolouration, wrinkles, lines, lack of skin elasticity due to decrease in collagen once menopause starts, sagging face. What if there had been weight gain or loss then this would affect the face.
Also the neck is the place wear age really shows and in these photos her neck is exactly the same. Noses and Ears also get bigger as we age.
Overall, this is really badly done and for people to say "wow, she looks great for 50" blah blah….it is NOT real silly people!
You realize therefore significantly in relation to this subject, made me personally consider it from so many numerous angles. Its like men and women are not involved until it is one thing to do with Woman gaga! Your personal stuffs nice. Always maintain it up!
It's actually a cool and helpful piece of info. I am satisfied that you just shared this helpful information with us. Please keep us up to date like this. Thanks for sharing.
for me the 60 years old looks like 70
the 50 looks like 60
the 40 looks like 40-50
I was pretty impressed by this.
Neat idea, but she (or the photographer) has some really trashy ideas of what people would wear at different ages… maybe they were going for the cheap prostitute looks?
The 40 year old looks way way older than 40!!! I would cry if I looked that old and I am 42…yikes…30 should be the 40 shot and up from there…
Amazing captures. This feature should be advertised more. We need all of these representations.
Heya i'm for the first time here. I came across this board and I find It truly helpful & it helped me out much. I'm hoping to present one thing back and
aid others like you aided me.

Nice try but, hands and neck always give the game away!
[…] One twenty-year old model photographed as a 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 year old. […]
just shows what a bit of makeup and clothing can do xx makes me want to revisit my wardrobe
This is just make-up. It doesn't look like photoshop at all. Make-up can do cool things. This was an interesting project done. 50 and 60 year olds don't look like that without Botox, though. That part is clearly unrealiatic, but this 20 year old can only be fake-aged so much with only the use of make-up.
Interesting project but c'mon now, first of all they have altered the images to make her appear older so let's get serious now… at 60, she really looks 40ish and at 30, more like early 20. I have NEVER seen a 60 year old look like that, it doesn't matter how much botox and filler you've had, your age is always revealed. Aging is more than botox and fillers, the bone in your face changes, collagen and elastin has decreased, fat disappears… why is it that Kris Jenner with all her facelifts, botox and fillers still looks 50? Because you cannot replace what the body loses with age naturally and that is bone, collagen, elastic and fat. Artificially induce those things and you will still look your age.
This is another editorial to mislead women and now the aging process.

The corporate standard is "Cruise Control", it's a fine tool but annoying to configure and setup and not to mention that I personally prefer Hudson.
I have a couple of questions that cover different topics:
1) Can the java community provide some insights into the best plug-ins for Junit testing, pass/fail reporting, auto-deployment .. etc.
2) Is there an honest, supportable reason for me to spend the time to convince the 'powers that be' that it would be in our best interest to move to Hudson. I have both setup on different VM's but as an Sr Engineer my role is more directional and less hands on - I just want the best for the team.
All suggestions welcomed.

Backstage at John Galliano
For the Fall 2008 and Spring 2009 seasons photographer Mark Leibowitz went backstage at the John Galliano ready-to-wear fashion shows. He did not shoot the models as they were on the runway or getting ready, instead he shot the craziness that goes on behind the scenes-he went backstage. The result is amazing, the images are beautiful, full of colors, and capture the essence of a fashion show behind the runway. [ Continue Reading ]

Randle talks about recent visits
MORE: The Recruit Scoop
Decision day is not likely to arrive in the next few months for the class of 2013's top player, Julius Randle, but there has been progress in his recruitment.
The 6-foot-9 senior from Plano (Texas) Prestonwood Christian has now completed his first five in-home visits and just returned from his first official visit - a weekend trip to Kentucky.
Randle breaks down his general takeaway from each of those first in-home visits: Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, North Carolina and N.C. State.
Duke: "It was pretty good. Coach K didn't have to do anything special as far as bringing anything to show off. He just had to be himself. Just having Coach K in my living room was amazing. He was teaching me things about my game and telling me how he can develop me as a player at Duke."
Kansas: "I think Coach (Bill) Self's visit was probably one of the best of the week or maybe even the best at selling his program and why I would fit there. He explained to me what he would want me to do and how he would help me get better. It was at the end of the week and it was the shortest too, so that wasn't bad either."
Kentucky: "Coach Cal is Coach Cal. He came in and he's one of the coolest coaches out there. He was just himself. He wants me to come in and be the top draft pick. He sees me as somebody to get it to on the break to use my speed and quickness. He sees a way to use my dribbling ability whether it be on the break or playing at the elbows."
North Carolina: "Everybody kind of heard about this one. Coach (Roy) Williams came and he brought all of his rings and kind of put on a little show for me. It was a lot different than the others, but also very informing. He really sold the culture of UNC basketball while he was here."
N.C. State: "They see me coming in there and filling the role of a guy like C.J. Leslie because they think he'll be gone for sure after this year. They see me as somebody who can play the four-spot in their offense. They are really confident that I could showcase my whole skillset in their offense. They also stressed how big basketball is at N.C. State and how they are trying to build and compete for a national title."
Randle also took some time to discuss his weekend trip to Lexington. It was his first trip and the Kentucky experience didn't disappoint.
"I kind of knew what I was going to get from the program and what they do," Randle said. "What I got out of the visit is that it is really just a family. They are going to push you hard to be the best you are going to be and you aren't going to like it sometimes. But at the end of the day you know they care about you. The coaches are good guys and care about you."
Current players also gave him an accurate picture of life as a UK basketball player.
"It's not really easy. It's going to be hard," said Randle, when asked what the Wildcat players told him about Kentucky. "But the reward is worth it in the end. Like last year they all sacrificed for each other and in the end they were all able to do what they wanted to do individually."
Randle also took notice of the local community's support for the hoops program.
"The fans are crazy," he said. "Everywhere you go the fans are saying 'Come here.' It's pretty crazy, but cool at the same time."
Next up for Randle is another round of in-home visits. Florida, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Baylor and Texas will all get a chance to pitch visits.
A plan had also been in place to visit Florida the first weekend of October for the LSU game but that has been postponed for now and likely will be rescheduled for sometime during the basketball season.
Randle will wait until spring to decide, and he's not feeling rushed to end the recruiting process.
"I'm not even sure what is next right now," Randle said. "Maybe after these in-homes I will cut it down to five or something like that. Or I might just take a quiet period away from it all. I need to focus on school and getting ready for the season. Since I'm not deciding until the spring some time away might not be a bad thing. We'll just see."

What to Worry About
Safety is a big deal on the railroad. It is real easy to get good and hurt. You are made of soft, breakable stuff, while railroad equipment is made of very hard, very heavy stuff. A rolling boxcar won't even flinch as it quietly rolls right over you in a sneaky surprise attack.
Furthermore, accidents make everyone look bad. You, me, the railroad gal who told you what train to get on, all the people who saw you and were too cool to call the bull on you. This is why, every time you talk to a rail, he or she will tell you to stay safe.
Don't walk on the tracks. Don't cross under couplers or cars. And watch for cars rolling quietly through the yard. Be careful out there.
Some yards have a railroad cop. The railroad cop is referred to as the Bull. The only way to get caught by the bull is being stupid. The bull typically sits in some office somewhere until someone calls him with a problem, which is seldom. [Not at all true anymore. -ed] Occasionally, the bull will make a foray out of the office to cruise around in the bull-mobile, a white pick-up or bronco, typically. The bull may traverse all the roads through the yard before they retire back to their den. To avoid the bull, stay out of sight of the roads within the yard. Walk between strings of cars. Watch for the bull-mobile. Watch for flashlights. Stay out of danger. Steer clear of the office.
What to Bring
Keep everything dark, dark clothes, dark pack, dark sleeping bag or blanket. This will make it harder to get caught by the railroad cops as you blunder around the train yards.
You'll be walking a lot and throwing your pack on and off of trains, so pack small and light — under 25 pounds. If you have something in your pack that can break, it will. Leave your valuables at home.
And think about warmth. Dress in layers. You may end up on an open car in the middle of the night with a 60 mile an hour wind blowing in your face. Your clothes and your sleeping bag should keep you warm and comfortable and dry. If you're cold and wet, freight-hopping will be a miserable experience.
Bring some sturdy gloves and boots to keep you safe as you scramble around on freight cars. And if you prefer not to sunburn your ears and nose off, bring a hat.
Its nice to know where you are. An atlas can come in handy, both for finding where to catch-out and for finding out where you've been left. You may be able to round up a railroad map. Call up the railroad business office and pretend you are doing a study on rail transportation. Ask for a map of American freight lines.
Bring something to drink. Exposure to the wind sucks the liquids right out of you. Bring something that's not going to spill when you throw your pack on and off of cars.
Don't forget to bring your patience. Freight-hopping involves as much walking and waiting as actual riding. You spend most of your time waiting for information, waiting for a train, waiting for your train to get under way, waiting, waiting, waiting. For this you'll need flexibility and patience.
A quick checklist:
Where to Catch-out
Find your local freight yard. There'll be a train leaving or coming through there eventually. Look for train yards in the forgotten part of town, the part of town with all the rough neighborhoods. The yard is usually near big industry, maybe near a river or port. You can often find giveaway street names like Railroad Ave. The passenger train station is probably not too far away.
There are freight yards in almost every city in America. However, there are fewer marshaling yards where they make up and break down trains. These big yards are going to be the easiest places to gather information and catch-out. Here you can ask the yard crew which trains are leaving where when.
Some yards are crew change-points. A single crew can work a maximum of twelve hours, so yards at which trains receive fresh crews are strategically placed along the mainlines. These are good yards to catch out from.
How to get Information
Railroad workers are your friends and will help you out whenever possible. Crews can usually only tell you where their train is going and when power's called for. Yard workers often know the whole story. They make up all the trains that are leaving their yard. They know which trains are going where and often when the power is called for. They will sometimes call in to the tower to find out what track your train is on and when it leaves.
What to Ride
In order of preference, you want to ride in open boxcars, on the rear platform of a grainer or hopper, between the wheels of piggybacked trailers, in the well behind cargo containers (if there is a solid floor), on the second or third deck of empty auto carriers (if you can get in), or in empty gondolas. And when you get really bold, you can ride on the back engine of several coupled units at night.
Don't ride tank cars that carry all sorts of nasty shit, loaded flatcars and gondolas whose shifting load may crush you, or cars marked Bad Order that are broken but have not yet been removed from service.
Your safety should be your most important consideration, so don't take short cuts to save time. Ever.

Jimmy Fallon and Jon Hamm Spit Food in Each Other's Faces in Skit [VIDEO]by Thomas Chau | PopCrush
'Mad Men' star Jon Hamm stopped by 'The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon' Friday nightand during the appearance, the TV star and talk show host engaged in a skit that had them saying, well, a mouthful.
"We did a TV show together back in the '80s," Fallon jokingly said of Hamm. "It was called 'Palisades Park Pet Patrol.'"
"We had to work," Hamm quipped, defending himself to the audience.
After a cheesy parody of most '80s TV show opening titles, we see Hamm and Fallon standing around as patrolmen, first eating saltine crackers. As they try to hold back their laughter, both of them start yelling and debating each other while still eating. Their methods of food gradually get more and more disgusting, as they move from crackers, to pretzels, to eventually yogurt and milkshakes.
Disgusting? Maybe. Hilarious? Absolutely.
Click on the videos below to watch the gut-busting skit. Oh, and we don't recommend you do so while eating.

Capitalism and government: Friends after all
Americans will be getting an earful about the perils or virtues of government until they vote on Nov. 6. But they won't hear anything about what it is exactly.
To Republicans, government is a cancerous force, there to secure what their platform calls "our God-given liberties." Success comes only through individual hard work, nurtured by faith and family. As the platform explains: "We are the party of maximum economic freedom," which promotes prosperity so "individuals and families can maintain their freedom from government."
To Democrats, government can help you get a job, medical care and more. It enables us to show that "we're all in this together," as former President Bill Clinton said in his speech at the Democratic National Convention.
The Democrats have a view of government that is closer to my own, but even they struggle to explain the deeper role that it plays in our lives: creating and maintaining the very marketplace that Republicans worship.
There is this idea, not discussed because it is so widely accepted even on the political left, that some sort of independent, free-standing market exists with its own laws, similar to those of natural systems, such as the law of gravity. Democrats want to poke, prod and regulate this market; Republicans say they want to leave it alone. But this so-called free market doesn't exist, not even as a valid concept. Governments create markets.
Government is responsible for every aspect of the market economy, from writing the laws defining private property, corporations and intellectual property, to building the roads on which commerce depends. When business was simpler, centuries ago, government built simple markets. Today, it creates more complicated ones.
It took centuries of evolution to arrive at today's system of property ownership, where a piece of land can be measured, bought and sold like a commodity. For thousands of years, kings handed out patents — essentially a grant of government power — for land (thus "land patents") or as a grant of monopoly power to sell something, say salt or bricks. In 1474, the Venetian Senate was the first to set up a patent system aimed at promoting invention. The new law let inventors know, in advance, that they would be rewarded with limited monopoly rights for significant new creations. Other nations copied this.
Governments have invested in physical infrastructure, such as roads, ports and waterworks, for as long as they have existed. A high point was New York State's construction of the Erie Canal in 1825, inspired by an earlier federal plan for roads and canals put forward by Thomas Jefferson's brilliant treasury secretary, Albert Gallatin. Paul Johnson, the conservative British historian, called the Erie Canal the greatest public-works project of all time in terms of the wealth it created. Today's discussion in the United States of state and federal investment in high-speed train lines is a continuation of the long debates over which kinds of infrastructure to invest in.
Just as there can be good and bad forms of government, such as democracies and dictatorships, there can be good and bad markets. There used to be a vast body of law dealing with the buying, selling and ownership of slaves, for example. When Congress finally outlawed slavery through the 14th Amendment in the 19th century, all that was swept away.
If you like markets, if you applaud individual success and private business, you like government. One is not possible without the other. The relationship of government to the private marketplace and capitalism as a whole is one of parent and child.
Paul Ryan, the Republican vice-presidential nominee, might never accept this, if he is a strict believer in novelist Ayn Rand's view that government is a parasite on the body of a marketplace that work by itself. But there is hope for the rest of us. We can stop talking about markets versus government, and start talking about what markets we want. In a democracy, if we understand that government creates markets, it means that we — the people — shape them. And our candidates should tell us how they would shape them.
I would like to see Mitt Romney and Barack Obama talk about what changes are needed in the state and federal system of chartering corporations, for example. And does either candidate have ideas for how the patent and copyright systems should be altered in an age when words, sounds and images can be transmitted across the world at no cost? These issues should not be left to the courts and lobbyists.
Government doesn't just change the light bulbs in the arena that private businesses operate in. It designed the whole stadium. This election is about acknowledging this, or remaining willfully in the dark.
Marshall, a senior fellow at the Regional Plan Association in New York, is the author of the new book "The Surprising Design of Market Economies."

Riley Ranch Lawsuit-Oregon Dunes
Little blurb in last nights local paper that a conservation group filed suit Monday in U.S. District Court, Eugene, seeking to stop an access route from Coos County's Riley Ranch Park (north of Coos Bay and south of Spinreel at the Oregon Dunes NRA). This route will provide access from the park to the dunes proper. Park area was purchased with State ATV money. So far the big holdup is getting across the RR tracks, but an overhead bridge route is being planned.
They say the route goes through a "sensitive area that is now closed to motorized use".

Wildlands CPR and Four Other Groups Seek Protection for Oregon Dunes
Conservation Groups Sue to Protect Roadless Area
December 7, 2009
Five environmental groups jointly filed a lawsuit today against the United States Forest Service to stop construction of a new road for off-road vehicles (ORVs) in the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area (Oregon Dunes). The lawsuit challenges the Forest Services approval of the Riley Ranch Access Project, which involves building a 14- to 24-foot wide motor vehicle route through the heart of both an Inventoried Roadless Area and a section of the Oregon Dunes that has long been closed to motor vehicle use. The groups are particularly concerned that the new road will exacerbate existing problems with unlawful ORV riding within the dunes unique and highly sensitive habitats.
The Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area is something to truly behold, says Josh Laughlin of Eugene-based Cascadia Wildlands. We have a world-class treasure right here in our backyard that is being seriously damaged by reckless and illegal ORV activity. It is time to draw a line in the sand.
Going to the Oregon Dunes is like stepping into another world, says Francis Eatherington of Roseburg-based Umpqua Watersheds. Unfortunately, its becoming rare to experience this incredible place without hearing the constant buzz of engines and seeing tiretracks driven through sensitive and protected areas. Things have gotten out of hand, and the Forest Service isnt doing anything about it.
The Oregon Dunes is the most extensive and unique expanse of sand dunes along the Pacific Coast in all of North America. The area contains rare geologic features found nowhere else in the world, several globally significant plant communities, five sensitive plant species, critical habitat for the snowy plover, a threatened shorebird, and amazing opportunities for hikers and bird watchers. The Oregon Dunes was established by an Act of Congress in 1972 for public outdoor recreation use and enjoyment and for the conservation of scenic, scientific, historic, and other values contributing to pubic enjoyment.
The Oregon Dunes already contain thousands of acres open to ORVs, says Noah Greenwald, endangered species program director for the Center for Biological Diversity. Creating a new road in the roadless area is not necessary or in the public interest.
Since 2004, the Forest Service and County Sheriff have documented increasing lawlessness and gang-like mentality among groups of OHV riders within the Oregon Dunes. The rowdy culture has forced the Forest Service to conclude that it is unsafe for 3 or 4 armed law enforcement officers, much less unarmed agency employees, to make courtesy or enforcement contacts, even during daylight hours.
"The Forest Service should not expand the motorized trail system unless it is able to protect the globally rare dunes ecosystems from the unlawful ORV use that is already going on," says Doug Heiken of Oregon Wild, "The Forest Service is unable to do their job now, yet they want to grow the problem by expanding the trail system in sensitive areas."
The Forest Service needs to step up and give these serious issues the attention they deserve, says Sarah Peters of Wildlands CPR. The Oregon Dunes should not be treated as if it is just for motorized users, but should be managed to preserve and protect wildlife habitat, as well as nonmotorized recreation opportunities.
The parties are represented in the litigation by Susan Jane Brown of the Western Environmental Law Center and Dan Kruse of Cascadia Wildlands.

A Forest Service idea for a dunes access road draws conservationists objections
By Mark Baker
The Register-Guard
Appeared in print: Tuesday, Dec 8, 2009
NORTH BEND Several environmental groups, including Cascadia Wildlands of Eugene, are suing the U.S. Forest Service over a proposed mile-long access road the agency wants to build for off-highway and all-terrain vehicles such as dune buggies and Jeeps in the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area about six miles north of North Bend.
Cascadia Wildlands, Umpqua Watersheds of Roseburg, Wildlands CPR of Missoula, Mont., Oregon Wild and the Tucson-based Center for Biological Diversity filed a lawsuit Monday in U.S. District Court in Eugene against the Forest Service and the rock road proposed last spring by one of its districts, the Siuslaw National Forest, which manages the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area that stretches from Florence to Coos Bay.
Illegal off-road vehicle drivers have already effectively carved the roadway through the federal land off Highway 101, taking short cuts to the coastal dunes, said Josh Laughlin of Cascadia Wildlands.
The road is basically already there because of past illegal activity, Laughlin said. Off-highway vehicle OHV users drive across federal lands between the 135-acre Coos County-operated Riley Ranch County Park billed as a mecca for ATV users when it opened in 2006 near the community of Hauser, about six miles north of North Bend, and the sand dunes.
We dont have a problem with sanctioning OHV use in designated areas, Laughlin said. But this area has been trashed by illegal use. And we believe its in the best interest of Oregonians to protect the sensitive wildlife and vegetation in this area.
The tract where the road would run had never been designated for OHV and ATV use in the Forest Services long-standing rules for the area, so that agency had to go in and change the designation in order to approve the road.
The environmental groups argue that the proposed road is improper because it would go through a federal designated roadless area, a category of area where the federal government has banned new road construction.
The Forest Service approved the road in April, according to the lawsuit. The plaintiffs appealed in June, but the Forest Service denied the appeal in July. The federal agency has said the new road is permissable in an official roadless area because the ban on new roads applies only to logging roads intended to harvest timber, not to roads for other vehicles.
Joni Quarnstrom, a spokeswoman with the Siuslaw National Forest in Corvallis, would not comment on the lawsuit, other than to say the building of the road will depend on the lawsuits outcome. She said the access road would not be built on a route currently taken by OHV users, but would largely follow a road created when the area was private land.
Members of Oregon Wild, a nonprofit group dedicated to protecting Oregon lands, wildlife and waters, and the Center for Biological Diversity, regularly use the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area for hiking, recreation and bird watching, according to the lawsuit.
The proposed road is very upsetting to a lot of people, said Sarah Jane Brown, an attorney with the Eugene-based Western Environmental Law Center, which is representing the environmental groups. By building the road, the Forest Service would be legitimizing illegal OHV activity, she said.
The 31,500-acre Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area already has 7,350 acres designated for use by off-road vehicles, Laughlin said.
The 1994 Oregon Dunes Management Plan says that OHV routes had to be designated within three years of the plans approval, or not at all, according to the lawsuit. The federal agencys new designation of the land at this late date is illegal, the lawsuit alleges.
The Forest Service plans to build the road and also has authorized construction of a bridge to take vehicles over a railroad track that lies about halfway along the proposed route, the lawsuit says. The Forest Service said one benefit of the bridge is that it would be safer for OHV users who have created their own dangerous routes across the railroad tracks.
The road project violates National Environmental Policy Act by failing to disclose and analyze the impacts of the project, according to the lawsuit. We just want the existing plan honored, Laughlin said. The road will further exacerbate illegal activity and further trash this globally recognized resource. I think its important to remember that the awe-inspiring dunes are one of the things that makes Oregon special. We believe its time to draw a line in the sand.

I would say thanks for posting but now youve got me all pissed this morning already. I can't believe some of the stupid stuff that people say sometimes. Sounds to me like the planned road was basically an improvement of a road that was there already before it became a "roadless" area. So if that road was there before it should never have become federally designated "roadless" therefore someone needs to sue to get the roadless area thrown out or at least amended to areas that do not include roads.

This route will be primarily a new one. The existing one does get close to a lake/pond and some wet areas, and will be closed and only available for hiking and equestrian use (which can cause more problems than our rigs, but the quads and bikes can really sway the equation with what they can do).
Roadless areas (IRA's) have been around since the early/mid 70's (RARE I & II). Under the formula, the area does not have to be completely without roads. The area that Creek n Trail is run in, is an IRA, even though a very old road runs through from O'Brien to Smith River on the coast, as well as the McGrew and many olther timber and mining roads. Most of these are on the maps, and are classified roads, and some are user created. McGrew is actually still carried on the books as a road, even though it is treated as a trail for ost everyday purposes.

DISA to take responsibility for DoD's core data centers
Adam Stone
In the ongoing effort to consolidate the government's thousands of data centers to a more manageable number, the Defense Department may have offered the coup de grace.
In a July memo, the department's chief information officer declared that all core functions — including storage, computing, cloud services — are to be delivered via the Defense Information Systems Agency's Defense Enterprise Computing Centers.
The announcement, in effect, simplifies consolidation for the military services, giving them a predefined destination for their future data center operations. Still, the military branches have a lot of heavy lifting to do outside the DISA DECCS, and they face diverse challenges in their efforts.
In the big picture, the Army says data center consolidation is on track, despite some initial questions about definitions.
Early on, the service had 185 centers, of which 130 have so far been closed. A complication arose, however, when the Office of Management and Budget redefined "data center" more broadly, boosting the Army's inventory to 800 centers.
Despite the shift, a self-imposed target of a 60 percent reduction by the close of fiscal 2018 remains on course, said Neal Shelley, the Army Data Center Consolidation Plan lead.
"We have met quota in FY 2011 and 2012, and we are at 95 percent of quota for 2013," he said. "We will beat our goal of 66 closures in FY 2013."
As the DISA DECCs directive unfolds, it will help give direction and definition to the efforts, but it won't cut the Gordian knot, said Jeremy Hiers, Army's project director for enterprise services.
"What is the scope of DISA in this? There are a couple of items in the policy that leave room for exceptions," he said.
One key question: What computing services will remain outside the DISA framework? The Army and DoD are exploring this together.
Another issue is obsolescence. How many systems are so far along in their life cycle as to make them not worth moving?
Again, the issue is under analysis.
Perhaps most significantly, Army officials may feel compelled to bypass DISA when consolidating services could compromise field capabilities.
"In our business, light-speed matters," Shelley said. "There are things you cannot do remotely. The response time is not sufficient or it is so critical that you cannot have that application running several miles distant. So there will continue to be data processing going on at posts, camps and stations."
This question of proximity could be a major sticking point as the services try to sort out their most likely consolidation scenarios. That future infrastructure will be based largely in the cloud, and that may give pause to commanders in the field who worry about operational integrity.
"When you have a war fighter who needs a mapping data service, for example, being able to deliver that over a cloud service becomes a completely different situation" versus having a local server, said Gunnar Hellekson, chief technology strategist of the public sector division at open-source developer Red Hat. "You have to have a large amount of bandwidth, you have to have redundancy, while on the operational end you may have someone with just an intermittent satellite connection."
As consolidation continues, military information technology planners will need to strike a balance between the need for more efficient structures, and the operational imperative, said Hellekson, whose company plays a role in nearly every major DoD IT program.
Hand in hand with this come concerns about the changing nature of those situations.
"If things were static, it would be a heck of a lot easier," said Kevin Kelly, CEO of contractor LGS Innovations.
"Where is the military going to be 24 months from now with its deployed forces? It's difficult to say, and you certainly can't just place a data center in every corner of the world."
While issues such as mobility could be a deciding factor in the where and how of consolidation, outside contractors involved in the consolidation effort say the military branches could face other hurdles.
Territoriality may well be a sticking point, said John Garing, a vice president at ViON Corp. As DISA CIO at the turn of the millennium, he led a consolidation to DECCs that resulted in a reduction of 2,500 people and $300 million in annual operating costs. He predicts the military will meet some resistance from field officers personally attached to their servers.
"There are pockets of box huggers out there," he said.
Installations with highly specific missions, for instance, may be especially reluctant to toss their server functions into the common pot.
The Army acknowledges the hazard. With each command managing its own data centers, every server "is often considered a jewel," Shelley said. "It was built because it fulfilled a need, and naturally people think that if they are in control of something, they are the ones fulfilling that need. So we are changing lifestyles, changing cultures, asking people to rely on someone else to deliver services that they have always considered to be mission-critical."
Considering the variables — DISA directives, localization, territoriality — it becomes increasingly difficult to answer a core question: How's it going? While the Army, for instance, claims steady forward momentum, others still ask what exactly constitutes progress when it comes to data center consolidation.
"Throwing out numbers can be misleading," Hellekson said. "If a data center is a single server in a closet, it doesn't make sense to talk about losing 100 data centers here or 300 there. It is not usually apples to apples, so it's difficult to say which agencies are doing 'better' than others."
Data center consolidation "is not an exercise where you say you are 50 percent or 60 percent finished," he said. "It's a process where, over time, you get better at managing these systems."
Moreover, consolidation is a moving target. "The challenge with IT is that it changes so much and so often," said Angie Heise, vice president of enterprise IT solutions at Lockheed Martin, which is a key player in a $250 million Army cloud contract.
"The way all of these things look and operate today, this is not necessarily the way we need them to look and operate 10 years from now," she said. "It makes it hard to say that you can put a bow on it at some point in time."

Kiwi Country Clothing are the "go-to" company for quality wet and cold weather garments that perform to exacting standards.
While KCC is still a young company (based in Ireland) it carries the best brands available from New Zealand which guarantee high performance in their respective fields... lifestyle, farming, equestrian and in certain health areas (diabetes, Reynaud's, rheumatoid arthritis).
The oilskin range is 100% waterproof and 100% breathable ... and when you note the cleaning instructions on the care label as simply "hang on hook and hose with water" you know this is serious business!
As for the possum/merino, which heretofore has not been easily available, this amazing, eco-friendly product is 35% warmer than cashmere, 55% warmer than merino and truly durable. It also is very slow to pill or ball.
All the products are high performance garments, and have really taken off in this part of the world in very short timeframe.

Fresh back from a trip to California including a day in Napa Valley where we visited Darioush, Chappellet, Duckhorn, and Heitz. Some quick thoughts….
Napa Valley has perfected the experience of visiting wine country. The wineries are generally in beautiful buildings in picturesque settings surrounded by vineyards. Amenities from restaurants to B&Bs and delis abound. In terms of experience, Washington is still in its infancy. Many wineries are located in modest buildings, such as Woodinville office parks or the airport region in Walla Walla. While many find this charming, it is no doubt somewhat jarring for people used to visiting other areas. A number of wineries, such as Januik and Cougar Crest for example, have been upscaling. This trend will certainly continue. Additionally, most wineries in Washington are quite removed from their vineyards, assuming they have them to begin with. There is something to be said for looking at the vineyards a wine comes from while drinking the wine. There is certainly a trend in Washington of moving toward estate vineyards, although these vineyards remain in many cases quite distant from the wineries themselves. In terms of amenities, there are a lot of, how shall we say, opportunities throughout Washington.
Tasting fees for the four wineries we visited ranged from $0 (Heitz) to $25 (Duckhorn, Darioush), although many wineries go considerably higher. This fee included a flight of wine and in some cases a tour of an hour or more (Chappellet). In Washington tasting fees are increasingly common with most about $5 and topping out at about $10. Unlike Napa wineries, most Washington wineries refund the tasting fee if you purchase wine. I did not see this in the wineries we visited.
Many Napa wineries, while open to the public, require reservations. This involves a good deal of advance planning as you need to think about how long you want to spend at a winery and the time required to get to the next winery. You may need to make sacrifices because reservations are not available for the dates or times you seek. This has become increasingly common over the last several years. In Washington, while a number of wineries require appointments if they are not open to the public, few if any at this time require appointments if they are open to the public.
In terms of its modern history, Napa Valley – which has about 400 wineries compared to Washington state's 600 - has evolved over the last thirty or so years. I would expect Washington's evolution to be considerably quicker given that Napa and others have provided the template. In this way, I would expect to see a lot of these differences diminish over the next ten to fifteen years.
More on the wineries themselves in subsequent posts.
Thoughts on the Trip to Napa Valley

Great writeup, Sean! While I prefer the warehouse winery that is spending more money on grapes and equipment, and less money on landscaping, I'm willing to accept that I might not be the target audience for many of these wineries.
Will be very interested to hear what you thought of the wines...
One thing I'd like to add...although you may be paying a bit more per wine tasting in Napa, if you make reservations ahead of time, you certainly are treated very well and absolutely get more for money with regards to both wine and experience. Wines are phenomenal in both WA and Napa, just different.
Sean P. Sullivan Says:
This is a good point and is something I would put as part of the overall experience. In Washington, at present, the wine is often forced to speak for itself. In Napa, wineries frequently look to use service as a differentiator. This is not a political statement on Washington's part. Rather it is a matter of frank economics. Many wineries don't (yet) have money to throw at elaborate tasting rooms and dozens of service professionals to serve you.
This is not to say you are not treated well in Washington. In fact, part of the fun of Washington is interacting with the winemakers who are frequently pouring at the winery. I can't say I have met many winemakers pouring in Napa. However, in Washington, it is not uncommon as wineries start to increase in size and expand their tasting room hours beyond the weekend to get so so service, often because friends and loved ones are pulled in to duty. Sometimes this can have a large effect on service and your perceptions of the winery. Sometimes small but significant ones. Many a time I have asked someone in a tasting room about the wine - the origin of the grapes, etc. - and they haven't known anything about the wine. This is always disappointing. In Napa, word of this would spread around the valley like a brush fire. The reason of course is that Napa and Washington are at very different points in their evolution. As the wineries in Washington continue to grow there will be an increasing emphasis on all aspects of service. The tasting rooms will become more opulent. The person pouring the wine may know a lot about the wine but may no longer be the winemaker. The prices will surely not be the same and we will laugh at the day we lamented what they are now. So my fellow Washington wine lovers, enjoy the good things in Washington and don't sweat the bad too much. Both will surely change at some point in the future!
One final note, I agree with you that both Washington and Napa make phenomenal wines but I think that Ghandi said it best. I have taken some liberties. "I like your California wines. I do not like your Californians. They are so unlike your California wines."

Thanks to a new lucrative television rights deal, Premier League clubs can look forward to far greater income in the coming years and Christian Heidel feels Mainz are no longer going to be able to compete in the transfer market.
Mainz sold Shinji Okazaki to Leicester for 11million euros this summer – a fee they simply could not turn down.
"You are getting clubs like Leicester who are now capable of buying Mainz's best player," Heidel told the Die Welt newspaper.
"Okazaki's turning 30 and he's only got one year left on his contract, yet they are still prepared to pay a double-figure million fee for him.
"This new situation is mostly going to affect the clubs from the middle and lower regions of the Bundesliga.
"England are our new rivals. The amounts they pay their players by the week are the same as what we pay by the month."
The Premier League's new television rights deal is almost four times greater than the Bundesliga's, although the German league overtook the English one in UEFA's five-year rankings this season.
The Premier League risks falling behind Serie A next year and consequently losing one Champions League place.

There is a tendency to view elder law estate planning as a static process resulting in a permanent portfolio. Both are misconceptions.
There is a tendency to view elder law estate planning as a static process resulting in a permanent portfolio. Both are misconceptions.
While certain basic principles have held true over the years, new strategies are constantly developed and legislative changes alter the law and how it is applied. Proper estate planning is rarely a one-time event. Besides accounting for legal changes, the plan must be modified to account for life changes — birth, death, divorce, finances and health.
Also, when a plan is created poorly the first time, often by those without direct experience in this area of the law, it is often necessary for those more experienced in elder law estate planning to fix the "broken" plan.
One of the more common errors we see is a purported MAPT, a Medicaid asset protection trust, that does not comply with Medicaid law. Sometimes, such a trust states that the grantors (Mom and/or Dad) are also the trustees, which is not allowed. Other times, the trust gives the grantors access to principal in trust assets. This also is not allowed.
The common fix for a defective MAPT is creating a new one that follows the law: The grantors may not be trustees, and the grantors have a right to income only from trust assets. They have no right to principal. The downside of starting over is that the five-year "look-back" period must lapse before the assets in the trust are protected. However, the current situation must be assessed to determine if the new MAPT makes sense.
Even the best of plans may be obsolete by the time they are needed, sometimes many years later. At a minimum, an estate plan should be reviewed every three years to see if any life or law changes affect it.
Over time, clients may want to change their backup trustees or plan of asset distribution. They may wish to add inheritance trusts to keep assets in the family. They might wish to change from a revocable trust to the MAPT because they were unable or unwilling to obtain adequate long-term care insurance. Assets for married couples may have grown to more than $1 million and the couple may need estate tax protection.
A systematic updating approach allows the client to have a plan better suited to their current needs. Periodic review reduces the chance of broken elder law estate plans.
If you're competent, you can always update your plan by either amending a trust or signing a new will, power of attorney or health care proxy.
If you are not competent but have an elder law power of attorney with broad gifting powers, your agent under the power of attorney may create, amend or revoke a trust, and make other changes in your best interest, including protecting assets from nursing home costs. The goal is to avoid the last resort, which is a court proceeding to fix a broken plan, or worse, having a plan whose purpose is defeated.

Top 14
Elsom signs for Toulon
ESPN Staff
March 1, 2013
Elsom has signed with Toulon as a medical replacement © Getty Images
Australia international Rocky Elsom is the latest big-name to join French Top 14 league leaders Toulon.
The former Waratahs and Brumbies flanker has signed as a medical joker to replace Stephane Munoz. It is his second spell in European rugby; he played for Leinster in 2008-09 and was a pivotal figure as the Irish side won their first Heineken Cup.
"I am delighted to be signing for Toulon," he said. "They are a big club, with big ambitions. I know I am here because another player is injured and I will do my best to match his level."
The 30-year-old is into the first year of a contract with Japanese side Kobelco Steelers after leaving the Waratahs midway through last year, but his contact included a clause that allowed him to join a European club between January and June.
In recent years he has been dogged by groin and shoulder injuries, but featured for the Wallabies in the 2007 and 2011 World Cups and won the last of his 75 caps for Australia in the 2011 semi-final loss to New Zealand.
As well as leading the Top 14 Toulon are into the quarter-finals of the Heineken Cup where they will play Leicester Tigers. Head coach Bernard Laporte is hopeful his arrival will lift his team following defeats to Bordeaux-Begles and Castres in recent weeks.
"First things first, he is a very good player," Laporte said. "He has been troubled with injuries, but he has come back from them and his signing will be a good boost for us."

Astros Spell Chased
Chase Utley put an end to the Astros' 12-0, two-year run against the Phillies with a dramatic home run on a 3-1 pitch in the 10th inning this afternoon. 3-2 was the final score.
Future Hall of Famer vs. a rookie, 347-game winner vs. someone who has won 7 games, 44-year-old vs. 22-year-old….no matter the description, the pitching match-up of Roger Clemens against Cole Hamels during the wild card race created a real buzz.
The result, a standing room only crowd of 44,674 packed Citizens Bank Park. Of that figure, 10,000 tickets were sold after 9 a.m. today.
The game was packed with drama:
**Hamels got the first and only hit off Clemens, a looping single to left with two out in the third.
**Wildness cost Clemens in the fourth: walk, hit batter, walk, strikeout and hit batter gave the Phillies a 1-0 led. Clemens pitched one more inning and left with a strained groin muscle.
**Rookie Charlton Jimerson, in his first plate appearance in the big show, hit a pinch-homer with two out in the sixth, breaking Hamels' perfect game that included seven strikeouts among the first 17 batters.
**Ryan Howard did it again, driving a 3-1 pitch off the Bud Light sign in right field with two out in the last of the sixth to put the Phillies back on top, 2-1. No. 53 is now in the books. "MVP", "MVP", "MVP" chanted the full house. His 14-game hitting streak includes 10 homers.
**Aubrey Huff tied it with a home run to start the eighth, only the second hit off Hamels.
**Houston had a runner on second with one in the ninth but rookie Matt Smith relieved and retired the next two batters on an infield grounder and strikeout.
**Howard was walked intentionally by Houston manger Phil Garner to START the ninth inning. Jeff Conine drove a one-out double to left, sending Howard to third but an intentional walk, strikeout and soft liner to first sent the game into extra innings.
**Houston had a runner on third with one out in the 10th but Rick White struck out one and induced an easy grounder to Howard to end that threat.
**With two out in the last of the 10th, Utley broke an 0-for-11 with his 25th home run, sending the happy throng home.
Oh, one other note. It was Hatfield Phillies Franks Dollar Dog Day. Just over 60,000 hot dogs were consumed.
