Rated 5 out of 5 by Jerry1235 from Great knife Easy to cut , durable and nice sharp and good handle.Date published: 2018-09-18Rated 5 out of 5 by deez from Legendary Cutlery I added this rocker to my collection of Shun cutlery and was able to put it to the test almost immediately after receiving it. It was packed well, arrived on time and was ready to "rock & roll" out of the box. If you own any Shun knives you already know about the legendary blade edge and super durable craftsmanship which would take pages to describe and evaluate. If you don't own Shun knife, pick one, anyone, and take it for a walk in your kitchen. These knives take the "work" and tedium out of cooking prep, less fatigue and frustration when you're done. Finally, be careful, these knives are sharp. A few friends and family members have learned the hard way after coming into my kitchen and helps by taking over a cutting job that these knives are very sharp! This includes washing and drying.Date published: 2017-01-28Rated 5 out of 5 by Ladyceejay from So beautiful I was leary of getting a knife I had not handled personaly. But it felt great in my hands, nice weight and cuts beautifuly. Can't wait to get more from this line.Date published: 2015-08-25Rated 3 out of 5 by jccwc from Not So Much This knife came in the set otherwise I wouldn't have purchased it. I find the belly of the knife too large to really quickly chop. It chipped after one use chopping onions. The blade is too fragile to put it through any serious chopping work on carrots, potatoes, celery, etc. If you're already comfortable rocking while chopping this knife is unnecessary. Plus, the large belly doesn't allow it to fit in a drawer block properly, and it requires a large slot on a knife block.Date published: 2014-11-11Rated 5 out of 5 by RobinDensford from Took some getting used to but I absolutely love it. I find myself reaching for this knife over my chef or Santoku knives. Nicely balanced . . .and the rocking motion one can achieve with the exaggerated curve of the blade, makes quick and easy work of dicing. I use the same waxy polish and food grade mineral oil on the handles of my Shuns that I use on my cutting board to keep the wood well conditioned. Even with heavy use, the knives look new.Date published: 2013-12-28Rated 1 out of 5 by Lifetimefoodie from Big time disappointment I absolutely love the Shun Kaji Nakiri knife. The balance is exquisite. Just enough heft in the handle to power the work without fatigue. I bought the Kaji Rocking Knife sight unseen/felt. That was a not a good thing. The Rocking knife is too lightweight to do the job. It feels flimsy in the hand. The blade itself doesn't mince with ease. My old chef knife is better. A total waste of money.Date published: 2013-03-01

Another autumn, another Dream Party. The fall Dream Party was recently held in Tokyo, complete with cosplayers, booth companions and sticker-covered cars called "itasha" ("painmobile").
There is even moé pudding. As there should be?
Dream Party is a twice-a-year bishoujo gathering in Tokyo and Osaka for game developers, retailers and fans. Some, but not all, of the game developers (take UNiSONSHIFT, Navel and minori, for example) create adult PC titles.
What makes Dream Party interesting is how the companies have booth companions dress up as characters from their games or as the company's "image character", instead of just putting them in a mini skirt and branding their company name on them.

St Patrick's Day stimulates the nation's need to be twinkly, drunk and sentimental
Annual feast day underlines the cheapening, reductive nature of the patriotic aesthetic
Over the last few decades, we've worked harder than ever at dismantling unhelpful national stereotypes. You know the sort of thing. The Irish are drunk. The Irish are violent. The Irish are thick. With all our sleek pop stars and tweed-clad Nobel laureates, nobody can take those slights seriously any more. True, the collapse in the property market did suggest that, if offered Tower Bridge by a man in a trilby, most of us would not pause before shovelling over the cash. But, for 363 days of the year, the nation proudly gives the lie to those 1970s British comedians who represented us as lobotomised layabouts.
Do you know where we're going yet?
Sadly, awful Saint Patrick 's Day still stimulates the nation's atavistic need to be twinkly, drunk and sentimental. The authorities at various week-long festivals work hard at counteracting these dreary inclinations. On Tuesday, the smallest towns will celebrate their internationalism by inviting South Americans to parade down the high street in massive papier-mâché heads. Fire-eaters will obstruct Grafton Street. Some play or other will be staged in some theatre or other. Religious organisations – unfazed by the shaky, near-fictional foundations of the myth – will argue desperately for the "real meaning of Saint Patrick's Day".
Take a visit to Temple Bar over the weekend and the futility of these efforts will be revealed. (Well, it might not be. Who knows? But it certainly would have been in any previous year.) Saint Patrick's Day is really about vomiting into the gutter while wearing a fake orange beard and a tricoloured foam-rubber hat. For all our shiny buildings and Broadway-annihilating theatre pieces, we are still dab hands at drinking ourselves into blind insensibility. In recent years, however, we have tended to do more of our boozing in the privacy of home. Not on March 17th. The patron saint seems to encourage a particularly unhinged school of old-school idiotic drinking. Linda Blair in The Exorcist vomits with less propulsive force. Gangs wander the streets with a chemically induced menace that makes the Golden Horde seem like a nature ramble.
Then there's the depressing embrace of garish cod-Irish iconography. In a weird post-modern swivel, perfectly decent Irish bars take on the character of those Massachusetts taverns that – all leprechauns and shillelaghs – perennially strive and fail to look like perfectly decent Irish bars. It won't be long before we start eating corned beef and cabbage and wishing each other "top of the morning".
Indeed, one could reasonably view the notorious logo of the Notre Dame football team as a resonant symbol of the contemporary domestic Saint Patrick's Day. Representing a bearded leprechaun with his fists raised in preparation for aggro, this unlovely symbol – which appears on much of the Fighting Irish's merchandise – should be only mildly less offensive than those 19th century Punch caricatures that depicted the Irish as drunk gorillas. Yet the good people of Indiana seem to love it. Come to think of it, isn't the phrase "fighting Irish" more than a little troublesome? Why not the "lazy Irish" or the "stupid Irish"?
Anyway, come Saint Patrick's Day – hopped-up on weapons-grade patriotism – large parts of the nation happily embrace every cheap stereotype that has dogged the nation. It's rather as if, when Bastille Day arrived, the French nation all donned stripy shirts and began riding around on bicycles selling onions. Do the Americans, on Independence Day, dress up in loud plaid trousers and intervene disastrously in Southeast Asian civil wars? I am willing to bet that, on the Festival of the Republic, Italians don't impersonate gangsters while throwing comically lewd comments towards every passing bottom.
If you wanted to put a positive spin on the embrace of borderline-racist iconography, you could argue that it reflects increased levels of national confidence. Whereas we may once have found murderous leprechauns as troubling as Native Americans found the Cleveland Indians' caricature of a grinning brave, we now rise above it and smother the old insults in a warm, ironic hug. We are grown-up enough to laugh at ourselves.
That may be so. But what is really being demonstrated is the cheapening, reductive nature of the patriotic aesthetic. You see a considerably more unpleasant version of that broad-stroke approach to national identity on July 12th in Northern Ireland. On Saint Patrick's Day, celebrants rarely insist upon marching aggressively down streets with red-white-and-blue curbs. But the same simplistic shorthand is in play.
Here's the point. It's not easy to rally patriotically around diversity, cultural scope and a shared embrace of difference. The modern, inclusive Saint Patrick's Day festival could, without much modification, be mounted in any other, less luridly green corner of the calendar. They are all the more pleasant for that. Ignore my earlier cynicism. Embrace papier-mâché heads and Romanian piano accordionists. Say no to pie-eyed leprechauns.
What was it Dr Johnson said about patriotism?

Goldman Sachs Group Inc, Morgan Stanley and two other banks may agree as soon as this week to settle claims over botched foreclosures in an accord similar to one reached with 10 other loan servicers, two people briefed on the discussions said.
The agreement, also involving HSBC Holdings Inc and Ally Financial Inc, would end case-by-case reviews of foreclosures under earlier accords with the biggest mortgage servicers, said the people, who declined to be identified because the talks are private. The US Federal Reserve-led discussions specified at least US$1.5 billion in cash and assistance for borrowers, one of the people said.
Ten servicers agreed on Monday to a US$8.5 billion settlement with the Fed and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) that ends the outside reviews in exchange for a deal that limits their costs to US$3.3 billion in cash for foreclosures in 2009 and 2010, and US$5.2 billion in other mortgage-related aid.
The new settlement could bring the industry payout to US$10 billion and expands beyond the 14 firms required to review foreclosures under the April 2011 agreement.
IndyMac Bancorp's successor OneWest Bank FSB, and EverBank Financial Corp have yet to reach settlements with regulators.
"We continue to have conversations with the servicers we regulate who were under April 2011 enforcement actions but were not part of the settlement," OCC spokesman Bryan Hubbard said. OneWest, EverBank and HSBC are included, he said.
Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley entered the mortgage servicing business through acquisitions. Goldman Sachs bought Litton Loan Servicing LP in 2007, and Morgan Stanley bought Saxon Capital Inc in 2006, before a housing market collapse that led to the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.
Litton initiated 135,586 foreclosure actions in 2009 and 2010, and Saxon initiated at least 60,313 actions in the same period, according to the Fed. Both New York-based banks later sold the servicers.
Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs were separately ordered by the Fed to hire outside consultants to conduct foreclosure reviews. Their case-by-case reviews paralleled those ordered in the April 2011 settlement.
Eric Kollig, a Fed spokesman, declined to comment on settlement talks. Mary Claire Delaney, a Morgan Stanley spokeswoman, and Michael DuVally, a Goldman Sachs spokesman, also declined to comment.
HSBC "remains in discussions" with regulators, according to Neil Brazil, a spokesman, who declined to comment further.

I don't know why it came up now,
maybe because we're less than a week away from interleague play, but there talk of baseball realignment.
Trib baseball colleague Phil Rogers
but the general idea is to create two 15-team leagues, blow up the divisions, and let the top five teams in each league make the playoffs. The simplest way to get to baseball's magic number is to move the Astros to the American League, and voila, two 15-team leagues.
But really, there's no voila in baseball, and definitely not when it comes to realigning divisions, leagues, anything.
For one thing, while the idea of two 15-team leagues seems fair, it actually stinks because you'd be forced to endure interleague play all season, all six months, all the way through division races, and I'm tired of it after the two staggered months now. Way tired of. Stop it already.
The other realignment idea is based on geography, pure, straight and unforgiving. The leagues would be retained so winning a division would mean more than a wild card, but you might have the Cubs and White Sox in the American Midwest, Pittsburgh in the American Central even though it's in the Eastern time zone, and the Angels and A's in a National California division.
Either way, realignment turns into a bloodbath in every league everywhere everytime. Nobody wants to give up rivalries. Nobody wants to change time zones unless you're Texas or any team that has a chance to move east to improve broadcast times.
But wait. There's more. Baseball being baseball, it turns out baseball can't make a move until it makes the designated hitter either universal or history.
I'm all for killing it. But I also know it'll never happen because the players association will never let the big cash cow die. The DH is for baseball players who can't play baseball anymore, or maybe never could. It's for guys who are good at batting practice.
The DH also is one of the most expensive parts of a team's payroll, but only American League teams. The players will never let AL teams give it up, and the owners will never add it to the National League because it will cost them more money, and who would want to let Jim Hendry spend more money after Alfonso Soriano and Milton Bradley?
Realignment, then, is just idle talk, just something to imagine have fun with, all the while understanding it'll never happen. You know, like a Cubs World Series title.
But the realignment discussion involving the DH puts baseball at a bit of a crossroads. Baseball refused to worry about steroids or human growth hormone because the home run was saving the game. Baseball gave fans more home runs. Baseball created a nation ofr crack-of-the-bat addicts. Then Congres stepped in, and baseball had to act like adults, which is not something those people are ever good at.
All of a sudden, championship players are busted all over the place, everything we thought we knew about the cheaters was becoming fact, 'roiders were suddenly svelte, home runs are down, and pitchers were throwing no-hitters every month.
Latest Sports
And attendance is down. Way down in some places.
Well, crud, baseball is thinking. There's nothing fun about being clean. Nobody was liking this kind of pitching-dominated, hitting-challenged baseball before MLB turned its head to obvious drug use. And now, that kind of old-school baseball has replaced the Sammy Sosa-Mark McGwire live-action version of a video game, which means baseball is at a crossroads if it moves ahead with realignment and if that discussion involves teams wanting the DH or fighting it.
The argument could be made that baseball can't afford to drop the DH when pitching is more dominant. The argument could be made that National League teams ought to be forced to embrace the DH as a way of increasing the home runs the public loves.
That would cost the owners money. But it also might be the only way to save the endangered species known as the homer unless players discover some other way to cheat that owners can happily avoid confronting.

Accommodations in CalpeCalpe, a little fishing village in Alicante, has converted itself into one of the most desirable touristic destinations on the Costa Blanca.
The rock of Ifach (next to which is a nature reserve) that emerges from the waters gives an idea of this mariners town: a perfect blend of sea and mountain where one can spend unforgetable days.
While this little town has many attractive walking paths of its own, you can also take excursions to the nearby towns either by bicycle or on foot.
This coastal zone contains five kilometers of beautiful cliffs, coves, and fine-sand beaches. The most visited of these are La Fossa, Arenal, and Levante, which run along a kilometer of coast and where the greatest number of tourists is concentrated. These have many features to accommodate bathers, while overhead flies the Blue Flag of the EU.
(Dont forget that smaller and less boisterous beaches such as El Bol, Molí, Morelló, Calalga and Cantal Roig, all of excellent quality but less well-known arent far away.)
In the coves you can peacefully fish, dive, or scuba-dive, while in the bay sea sports like sailing and motorboat racing can be enjoyed.
July brings the celebration of the Fiestas del Carmen, for which the town fills with a festive and animated air.
The tourism that exists in Calpe has spawned such celebrations as the German Beer Festival, and the Festival of Moors and Christians carnivals that actually have a more German than Spanish feel to them.
For the summer holiday-maker, the nightlife in Calpe a tranquil town after all centers on the beach, together with the bars and discoteques in which you can enjoy yourself all night long.

A Very Busy Day – Rogero 4.30 Release + New versions of MultiMAN, PS Tools and Yet Another Bypass released.
It feels like the dev's have decided to just smother us in new versions of their goodness today. In my last post I mentioned the E3 4.30 CFW, and in just mere hours there has been a new version of Rogero updated to 4.30, PS Tools, Yet another bypass (allowing PSN access) and a personal favorite;
Closely following the release of E3's 4.30 CFW, Rogero has released his own. This seems to be a port of his 4.21 CFW to 4.30. This, like the last is a CEX CFW, so again, be sure to dehash your console.
Details on Rogero CEX 4.30 v1.00 CFW:

Yet Another Bypass by cotojestwtf is a homebrew that most of you are probably already aware of (and most likely love). It allows access to PSN on CFW consoles; the latest revision allowing us access on 4.21 and 4.25 (No 4.30 love yet!). For those of us who do not know how to use this, I'll write a little tutorial here (You will need a computer for this):
Step 1: Run the YABStart.bat
Step 2: Go to the Playstation 3 Network settings and in the Proxy tab write the IP Address of your computer using Port 27. This can be changed through the use of the port.txt file found in the config folder.
Step 3: Connect to PSN.
You can download the latest version of YAB Here.

A Million Butterflies
"There's 29,000 people in the ballpark and a million butterflies."
Vin Scully said those words while broadcasting the 9th inning of Sandy Koufax's perfect game against the Chicago Cubs in 1965 (If you want proof that Scully is the greatest broadcaster ever, here is the verbatim transcript of what he said during the final inning of that game. Keep in mind he was AD-LIBBING).
(Photo courtesy of Kelly O'Connor)
Yesterday in Louisville, 8,848 fans got to experience that edge-of-their-seat tension as Clay Buchholz took a perfect game into the bottom of the 9th inning against the Bats. And no one felt it more than the 24-year-old pitcher.
"The last two innings felt like they took forever," Buchholz told me after the game. "It felt like that took longer than the first six or seven innings. I'm still a little jittery right now."
Clay, of course, became the only rookie in Red Sox history to throw a no-hitter when he accomplished the feat in his 2nd big league start on September 1, 2007 vs. Baltimore. But he didn't think he had no-hit stuff when he took the mound on Monday.
"Warming up in the bullpen was terrible," Buchholz said. "I hit a woman in the face. . .I was throwing the ball over and I hit her right in the face. From then on I was like – man, that might be a bad omen right there."
But Clay retired the first 24 batters with only a couple of close calls. Wes Bankston led off the 5th inning with a long fly ball that Freddy Guzman caught at the left field wall, and Norris Hopper bounced one up in the middle in the 7th, only to be robbed of a hit by PawSox second baseman Travis Denker.
Louisville's leadoff hitter in the 9th was Danny Richar – one of two players the Cincinnati Reds obtained from the White Sox in the Ken Griffey Jr. trade last July. Buchholz's first pitch of the 9th was a belt-high fastball over the outer part of the plate, and Richar knocked a hard ground ball to the opposite field for a clean base hit.
"(Dusty Brown) called a changeup and I shook him off and went to a fastball," Buchholz said. "You can always second-guess it, but fastball is the pitch I wanted to throw in that situation. It was pretty fun – I'm glad it's over though, there was a little bit of stress going on there too."
After allowing the hit, Clay struck out Michael Griffin and Brian Peterson, before getting Norris Hopper to ground into a force play that ended the game. Pawtucket won 3-0.
"What stood out for me was in the 9th inning after he gave up the hit," said Pawtucket pitching coach Rich Sauveur. "The poise he showed to go out and get the next three guys out on 10 pitches. There were so many things going through his head – there had to be – to lose a perfect game in the 9th but keep your poise and get the next three guys out is just phenomenal."
"It's unbelievable," Buchholz told me. "I've never been a part of a perfect game regardless of who was pitching–whether I was pitching or somebody else. It was a pretty big thrill. That's what baseball is all about. You've got your good days and bad days and today was a good day."
The 1-hit shutout was the second 9-inning complete game of Clay's professional career (the other obviously being his no-hitter).
Buchholz only needed 96 pitches (70 strikes) to go the distance – after throwing 93 pitches in 4.1 IP in his last start. His fastball reached 97 mph on the stadium radar gun, but was clocked at 95 mph on the PawSox gun.
Here was the breakdown vs. Louisville:
48 fastballs (36 strikes)
18 curves (11 strikes)
16 sliders (12 strikes)
14 changeups (11 strikes).
His 7 strikeouts came on:
2 fastballs
2 curves
2 sliders
1 changeup
In short, it was a memorable Memorial Day.
"The word for eight innings was 'perfect' and that's exactly what he showed," Sauveur said. "He dominated the hitters with all four pitches. His fastball command was 'plus,' the curveball was a 'plus' major league curveball, the slider was a 'plus' slider, and I can't say enough about his changeup – the arm speed was phenomenal. That's what everybody is looking for."

Following the afternoon game, nearly everybody on the team attended a bowling party hosted by Mark Kotsay. The team of Kotsay, Billy Traber, Chip Ambres, Carlos Maldonado, and yours truly proved to be unbeatable (thanks in large part to Ambres improving his score by about 100 pins from the practice game to the ones that counted).
My best game was a 167 making me the clear winner in the broadcasting division.

I've been battling laryngitis for a few days, but my voice is slowly-but-surely returning. It had better return to full strength soon or I'm going to lose my job to Jeff Natale! In all seriousness, I thought he did a fantastic job of pinch-hitting over the weekend.
The series in Louisville continues on Tuesday night at 7:05 with a pair of lefties squaring off in Kris Johnson and Adam Pettyjohn. I hope you'll join us for the radio call beginning with the pre-game show at 6:50 on the PawSox radio network and PawSox.com.
I'd love to hear from you. The address is firstname.lastname@example.com

The latest CSR initiative undertaken by taxback.com took place in Romania this week.
Staff members in our Cluj office arranged to donate €2,000 to a Social Services Centre.
The centre supports abandoned children and old people who are in need of shelter, food and education. The money donated will provide much-needed supplies for the centre.
The centre was opened 15 years ago by a priest who was deeply concerned about the number of children and old people who weren't getting the care and support they needed.
The centre carries out valuable work every day but relies heavily on donations. Staff members in our Cluj office were invited to the centre where they received a very warm welcome from the children there.

The Construction of Oriole Park at Camden Yards
The Baltimore Orioles are celebrating the 20th anniversary of Camden Yards this year. Its a big season for the Orioles as they attempt to fight their way out of the cellar while celebrating the stadium that started the ballpark revolution of the 1990's.
I did some poking around some websites and found some great pictures of Camden Yards as it was being built.
I hope you enjoy.
Also, I'll be in Baltimore on opening day, in hopes of snagging one of these commemorative baseballs that the Orioles will be using this year:
Camden Yards looks like this now:
But it once was a pile of dirt
and a vacant warehouse that would be transformed into one of the most beautiful ballparks in the US.
Incorporating the B&O Warehouse, which was built in 1899, was a fantastic idea. It brought us back to the old days of baseball, where stadiums were built to fit into the surrounding neighborhoods.
Here's the outer side of the B&O Warehouse, facing away from the stadium. Just ahead, you see the building that now houses the Babe Ruth museum.
The Warehouse sat dormant for over 20 years, rotting… until 1992.
That's when the Orioles completely renovated it to house offices, a team store, restaurants, a ticket office, etc. What a view.
Here's the foundation of where the center field seats would later be built:
The unfinished exterior of Camden Yards… (is that a real kid in the picture?)
Construction began in 1989
And it took 33 months of work to get the stadium completed.
It was built by HOK Sport, and was the first of the retro ballparks.
There's really not a bad seat in Oriole park. The field is beautiful, the layout is gorgeous, and the Warehouse looming beyond right field is awesome.
Anyone have any idea what part of the stadium this is? A possible hidden chamber underneath the field or seats?
It looks like the upper deck was the first structure put in place. The lower level still looks a mess in this picture:
The stadium by the way cost $110 million to build. By today's standards, that's about $180 million. In contrast with other stadiums that have been built, that's pretty cheap.
Could this be a flag pole out in the famous right field 'flag court?'
How excited were the people of Baltimore when this stadium was being built? Anyone have any personal stories that lived in Baltimore during this time?
The playing surface at Camden Yards is Kentucky Bluegrass.
Once the grass starts getting installed, you know that the end of construction must be close.
A worker takes a breather to look at the beauty that surrounds him:
A view from center field. The upper level looks just about finished.
Looking towards left field into center field.
A view down the left field line from the second deck:
The stadium looks almost complete except for the lower level seating bowl.
One of the final touches is constructing the giant scoreboard in center field.
Since the stadium opened in 1992, millions have people have enjoyed baseball there, including me. I've been there 9 times, making the four hour drive from Pittsburgh.
Maybe one day soon, the Orioles will get their organization turned around like the Rays did in 2008 to be an annual contender. In the meantime, at least they have a beautiful venue to play ball in.
There's only 35 days until opening day, and 2 days until the first broadcasted game on MLB TV (Yankees vs Phillies). And, just 3 more days to win this LA Dodgers shirt.
By the way, welcome to March. Opening Day will be here before we know it.
Also, thank you for reading! February 2012 was my second busiest month in the history of this blog. We logged 11,000 views in the month. I'll keep turning out the entries daily as long as you keep reading. I'm looking forward to doing some ballhawking entries soon! Opening weekend is going to be very busy for me.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) Stefan Cvrkalj scored 18 points, hitting five 3-pointers, and Holden Greiner posted a double-double as Lehigh routed Navy 71-49 Wednesday night in Patriot League action.
Greiner had 12 points and 10 rebounds for the Mountain Hawks (15-5, 5-1), who bounced back from a 78-57 loss to Lafayette on Sunday that snapped their five-game winning streak.
Lehigh trailed 8-1 in the first 4 minutes, then rattled off 14 straight points en route to a 28-18 halftime lead. The Midshipmen could get no closer than eight the rest of the way.
The Mountain Hawks outshot Navy 46.3 percent (25 of 54) to 28.8 percent (19 of 66). Mackey McKnight dished out seven assists for Lehigh.
The Midshipmen (7-15, 1-5), who have lost three straight and nine of their past 10, have averaged 49.6 points in their five most recent losses.
Will Kelly and Worth Smith led Navy with 11 points apiece.

City have confirmed the Sweden Under-21 international will spend the rest of the season at the Britannia Stadium.
The highly-rated Guidetti, 21, joined City at the age of 16 but his progress at the club has been hampered by illness and injuries.
Guidetti has appeared twice on the City bench this season but the club feel he would benefit from having greater opportunities elsewhere.
He is behind the likes of Sergio Aguero, Alvaro Negredo, Edin Dzeko and Stevan Jovetic at the Etihad Stadium.
Guidetti spent time on loan at Burnley just over three years ago and also had a successful spell at Feyenoord in the 2011-12 season.
A statement on City's website confirmed the deal at Stoke would run until June 30.
The deal was made possible after Stoke confirmed they had converted midfielder Stephen Ireland's loan move from Aston Villa into a permanent deal.
That freed up another loan space for Guidetti to move to the Britannia Stadium.
The Potters have Liverpool's Oussama Assaidi as their other permitted Premier League loanee.

The running boards are of good quality though nothing is assembled when received which means you have to decide where to put the treads and end caps as well as drill and rivet them in place (rivets included). There was some confusion because two sets of instructions were sent. Customer service took a long time to resolve this confusion. Otherwise good.

A Bridgeport, Conn., father is in police custody after he tried to burn his 13-month-old son on a city street yesterday afternoon, according to police.
Police said the 28-year-old father appeared to be under the influence of something and a good Samaritan was thankfully close enough when the assault happened to stop him from causing more than minor injuries to the child.
Maribel Lopez said heard the baby crying in the area of Lexington Avenue and Calhoun Street in Bridgeport. At first, she did not think much of it.
"I hear the baby crying, so I don't pay attention because a lot of babies pass with their mother crying," Lopez said.
But the baby continued to weep and Lopez, a mother of four, noticed some disturbing behavior.
"When I look, he got the baby in the hands. He's hitting the face of the baby. He's hitting his head with the truck," Lopez said.
She ran downstairs and confronted the man as she called police.
Police said they received the call around 2:45 p.m. and have identified the father as Marvin Williams, 28, of Bridgeport. He is expected to be charged with possession of narcotics, risk of injury to a minor, reckless endangerment and third-degree assault.
"He threw the baby on the floor. He took a lighter and he tried burning the baby," Lopez said.
She managed to grab the baby and handed him to her daughter.
Officers responded to the scene and the baby was taken to the hospital to be checked out, police said.
Police are calling Lopez a hero. She said she just had to do something.
"I don't know if I'm a hero or not, but it's a baby. I see people passing and doing nothing," she said.
Police said Williams was under the influence of some substance. He was taken to the hospital as well.
Williams faces a number of charges including risk of injury to a minor and third-degree assault.

What is the significance of a moving a dot on a graph? If it is Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Data Warehouse Database Management Systems which it published on Jan 31, 2013, then it is rather significant.
IBM has obtained the right to distribute Gartner's report. However, we must reference the link and not send the document around. Here is the link:
To appreciate the movement of the dot, one must compare the Magic Quadrant from last year (Feb 2012) and this year's (Jan 2013) [courtesy of Glen Zimmerman, IBM]. It shows that Gartner has recognized the fact that IBM's "completeness of vision", not only is it in the desired upper right hand quadrant, has moved further right in its "visionary" axis beyond that of Oracle. It also managed to stay ahead of SAP (with HANA), Microsoft and EMC (with Greenplum) in both "vision" and "ability to execute".
As you will see in the report, which goes into fair amount of detail on each vendor, IBM's portfolio for Data Warehousing includes, ISAS, Netezza, IDAA on System Z, the newly announced PureData System appliances and for the first time, the Informix Warehouse Edition. More importantly, it points out that the Informix offering is the only in-memory solution for data warehousing and analytics within IBM.
Since this is a blog for Informix technologies, I will expand more on the progress of the Informix Warehouse Accelerator product found in the Informix Warehouse Edition.
Since its release in April 2011, IWA has attracted significant market adoption now spanning some 17 countries around the world and across many diverse sectors such as retail, transportation and government. While the majority of IWA customers are current Informix customers using Informix for OLTP, the product has displaced non-IBM vendors previously used for the customers' analytical applications. Customers can now use Informix as an integrated, cost-effective platform for highly reliable transactional applications as well as for large scale data warehousing and analytical needs. We recognized the game-changing BLINK technology from IBM Research for its in-memory, columnar, highly parallel capabilities and have brought the product to market almost 2 years ago.
We are pleased that Gartner has taken notice of our product and that we played a role, as part of IBM, to "move the dot".
For information about the upcoming Informix 12.10 release, please register to attend the webcast scheduled for March 5th at https://event.on24.com/eventRegistration/EventLobbyServlet?target=registration.jsp&eventid=571631&sessionid=1&key=6740A7076E0FE9C59EBFDC80C8487D34&sourcepage=register.

The Failures Of Facial Recognition Software: Drivers Losing Licenses For Looking Like Terrorists
from the you-know-you're-a-terrorist,-when... deptOver the years, we've discussed the technological failings of facial recognition software for law enforcement... but they just keep on trying. RichS was the first of a bunch of you to send in the story of the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles suspending licenses due to a match on facial recognition software designed to "detect" terrorists:
After frantic calls and a hearing with Registry officials, Gass learned the problem: An antiterrorism computerized facial recognition system that scans a database of millions of state driver's license images had picked his as a possible fraud.Massachusetts bureaucrats seem positively thrilled with the system, claiming that they're sending out 1,500 suspension notices a day based on such reports. To be honest, I can't believe that they really mean per day, seeing as the article also notes that the facial recognition system only called out 1,000 such matches last year (and then later claims 1,860 licenses were revoked last year because of the software, so the numbers are all over the place). But, still, it sounds like a lot of folks in Massachusetts have to re-prove their identity every day because some computer falsely thinks they're someone else.
It turned out Gass was flagged because he looks like another driver, not because his image was being used to create a fake identity. His driving privileges were returned but, he alleges in a lawsuit, only after 10 days of bureaucratic wrangling to prove he is who he says he is.
Either way, the bureaucrats don't seem at all concerned about relying on a highly questionable system to declare people guilty:
Kaprielian said the Registry gives drivers enough time to respond to the suspension letters and that it is the individual's "burden'' to clear up any confusion. She added that protecting the public far outweighs any inconvenience Gass or anyone else might experience.Ah, the logic of clueless bureaucrats.

FWD.us immigration push hits wall
Mark Zuckerberg's immigration reform push had all the capital, connections and star power to merit success.
But not even Silicon Valley could make this investment — and the Facebook founder's first foray into national politics — pay off.
Story Continued Below
Tech leaders poured millions into FWD.us, an immigration advocacy group that has dominated ad buys, launched elaborate hackathons and coddled conservatives in an effort to revamp the country's immigration system. It galloped into the debate with the tech industry's classic certainty but wound up facing the same obstacles that have halted reform for decades.
Now, as hope for an overhaul fades, the group must reconcile Silicon Valley's highflying ambition with the sobering lessons of Washington.
( Also on POLITICO: Denial of immigrants' licenses halted)
"In Silicon Valley, if you don't like the taxi industry, you start Uber, you go around it," said FWD.us President Joe Green, who helped establish the group alongside Zuckerberg, his former Harvard roommate. "With politics you have to work through it, and doing that can be very challenging."
FWD.us began with a lofty, if amorphous, goal: to ensure the success of America. But it also made initial high-profile stumbles with its ad strategy and, while trying to engage the tech community, ended up alienating some in it.
The group has stood out in other ways since it launched in April 2013, not least of all its ability to raise money and draw big names.
FWD.us surpassed its $50 million fundraising goal Zuckerberg set and has almost $25 million still squirreled away, according to those familiar with the group's finances. Much of the money went to media buys, for which it far outranked other pro-reform groups. FWD.us has reached into more than 100 Republican districts, from a $150,000 ad buy in North Carolina that defended the conservative credentials of Republican Rep. Renee Ellmers to a six-figure TV campaign in targeted markets.
( PHOTOS: Mark Zuckerberg with pols)
FWD.us spent about $5 million on TV and radio ads in the lead-up to last year's Senate vote, which resulted in the passage of an immigration overhaul. Along with its affiliates, Americans for a Conservative Direction and the Council for American Job Growth, the group has continued to run six-figure ads either praising conservative backers or touting the imperative for reform.
Contributors to the group include tech superstars like Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and Netflix CEO Reed Hastings. Its D.C. agents also read like a list of power players. FWD.us Executive Director Todd Schulte served as former chief of staff at Priorities USA, a super PAC that supported President Barack Obama. Its campaign manager, Rob Jesmer, worked as the executive director of the National Republican Senatorial Committee. Consultants worked for numerous presidents and both sides of the aisle.
"FWD.us is the most prominent, most active biggest spending group in recent years to come out in favor of immigration reform," said Elizabeth Wilner of Kantar Media's Campaign Media Analysis Group. But its spending, she noted, remains "paltry" compared with organizations tied to the money-churning causes of health care and energy.
Wilner likened the effort to a grass-roots group launched by former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg that intended to unite voters around gun control. It didn't.
( Also on POLITICO: Pol: Migrant centers 'preplanned')
"You can look at really influential people in business thinking they can put names and money behind something and believe it will pass," she said, "but they're basically running into the brick wall of Washington and polarization."
FWD.us' registered lobbying efforts total $780,000, a reflection of not only its political nonprofit status but its focus on popular appeal over policy details.
Its immigration priorities extended beyond many other tech groups, which pushed most strongly for changes that would benefit high-skilled foreign workers. FWD.us highlighted the need for comprehensive reform through local initiatives, individual stories of immigrants and polls that stressed Americans' desire for change. Green calls it a "dual partisan" effort.
"Instead of a business lobby, it organized itself as a political operation," said Frank Sharry, executive director of America's Voice and a veteran of immigration reform efforts. "It focused on both the right and left, put a lot of money into advertising and essentially took that advantage away from anti-immigrant groups."
That hasn't always gone well.

Who, when life's clouds come on,
Careth for me.
God who made all things,
On earth, in air, in sea,
Who changing seasons brings,
Careth for me.
God who sent his Son
To die on Calvary,
He, if I lean on him,
Will care for me.
When in heav'n's bright land
I all his loved ones see,
I'll sing with that blest band,
God cared for me.

Even with a bright sunroom, sun-loving herbs will need 12 to 16 hours a day of supplemental light. You have two choices: fluorescent or high-intensity discharge (HID).
The brightness of a light is measured in either lumens or foot candles. Lumens refers to the amount of light at the source, foot candles to the amount of light falling on a given area. As you move farther away from a light, the lumens stay the same, but the foot candles decrease. For perspective, a typical bright but overcast day is about 1,000 foot candles, and a bright summer day at noon is about 10,000 foot candles.
Fluorescent Lights
Home and school gardeners have used fluorescent lights for starting seeds and growing plants for many years. Because their light intensity is low, they are best for seedlings and low-growing herbs so that even the lowest leaves are no more than 8 inches from the tube. A standard 4-foot unit with two 40-watt tubes will light an area about 8 inches wide. A variety of special tubes for growing plants are available, but a combination of standard cool- and warm-white tubes is also effective. Verilux tubes approximate the color of natural light. Vita-Lite ″power twist″ tubes produce somewhat more light per watt, and the quality of light is balanced for optimum plant growth.
Fluorescent lights at 6 inches provide 700 foot candles, and at 12 inches the light drops to 450 foot candles. Fluorescent efficiency, 60 to 80 lumens per watt, though superior to that of standard incandescent, is far below that of HID lamps.
High-Intensity Discharge Lights
Serious herb growers, including commercial producers of fresh-cut herbs, rely on high-intensity lamps. Our stock plants grew fabulously through the winter under these lights. They produce a much greater intensity of light, meaning the bulb can be several feet above the plants and still deliver adequate intensity to lower leaves. There are two types: metal halide and high-pressure sodium. Both utilize large, long-lived, and relatively expensive bulbs filled with various combinations of rare gases and a remote ballast.
A 400-watt HID lamp delivers about 1,000 foot candles of light 3 feet below the bulb and can sufficiently illuminate 25 square feet. Cost of electricity is $4 to $8 per month, depending upon lamp size and your electricity rates. (Operate HIDs only during off-peak hours to reduce energy cost.)
Most gardeners prefer metal halide lamps because the light they produce is good for healthy growth and flowering and pleasant to work around. Efficiency is 120 to 130 lumens per watt. Bulbs are available in 150-watt to 1,000-watt versions.
High-pressure sodium lamps are the most efficient type of HID lamp, producing about 140 lumens per watt. The light they produce is reddish, so it's less pleasing to work around, but is preferred for some flowering plants. Bulbs are available in 150-watt to 1,000-watt versions.

Defense Officials Mull U.S. Military Aid to Pakistan
By Fred W. Baker III
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17, 2008 - Defense Department officials are assessing what help, if any, the department could extend to the government of Pakistan.
Pakistan has become increasingly volatile due to political instability after the Dec. 27 assassination of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto and stepped-up extremist activity in the ungoverned areas near the Afghanistan border.
"The character of the fight in Pakistan has changed to some extent, and it is more focused inward, and we're watching that very carefully," Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Marine Gen. James E. Cartwright said in a news briefing at the Pentagon today.
"Is it a threat that the (Pakistanis) are ready to handle? Do they need help? Do they need training help? Do they need other types of help? That's what we're trying to assess right now," he said.
Taliban and al Qaeda militants have taken refuge in Pakistan's remote tribal regions along the Afghan border since the United States ousted the Taliban government in Afghanistan in 2001. They have repeatedly targeted Pakistani soldiers with suicide attacks, roadside bombs and kidnappings.
"We're assessing what value we could have, or any other ally could have, in contributing to their security. But they're a sovereign nation. They have to make those decisions. And we will stand by and be available, particularly for those things that we might do in the way of training or in helping them in shortfalls, ..." Cartwright said.
This week, U.S. commanders in the region said the Pakistani government has become open to the idea of U.S. military help. So far, though, no official request has reached the Defense Department, Cartwright said.
"We have not gotten those reports back yet," Cartwright said. "We're trying to make sure we understand ground truth before we take any action so that it not misperceived, but contributes to their stability."
Cartwright said this could be an opportunity for the Pakistani and U.S. governments to work together in the interests of both.

Don't forget the greenery
Rules To Know
Plant Care Guide
Preparing Your Plants
Like any living thing, plants require special attention. If you're moving long-distance, you'll want to move plants in a temperature-controlled environment such as your car. Extreme temperatures and lack of fresh air in a moving van can be fatal to you r plants.
Here are some tips for making sure your plants survive the trip to their new home:
3 Weeks Before Moving Day
Repot any plants in clay pots into unbreakable, plastic containers. The new pot should be big enough to hold the plant, without being too big. Jumping pot sizes can cause plants to respond poorly.
2 Weeks Before Moving Day
Prune larger plants. Pruning will make packing easier and produce healthy, bushy, compact, attractive houseplants. You can prune by simply pinching back newer growth with your thumb and forefinger.
Succulents (e.g., cacti, jade plants) and ferns do not respond well to pruning.
1 Week Before Moving
Eliminate any insects or plant parasites. Pesticides may contain harmful chemicals so use them with care and always follow label directions.
Another way to kill pests is to put the entire plant in a black, plastic utility bag for about six hours with a bug/pest strip or an animal flea collar. Keep the bag in a cool, shady area. This method is environmentally safer for your home and your plant.
2 Days Before Moving
Make sure your plants are getting their normal dose of water. Keep in mind that during the winter months, roots saturated with moisture may freeze. In warmer weather, overwatered plants are subject to damaging fungus growth during transit.
Moving Day
Pack your plants in the morning, or the night before. Conventional packing cartons are good for moving plants. A dishpack, available from the van line, has compartments that easily adapt to holding plants.
Securely anchor each plant to prevent slipping when the box is lifted or jostled during transit. To do this, place the pot in a box, making sure it fits snugly in the bottom. Use paper around the base of the pot to hold it in place. Next, cushion branches and leaves of the plant with soft paper. Moistened paper can be used for shot periods; however, plants allowed to remain wet are more susceptible to disease.
Finally, punch air holds in the sides of the box and loosely fasten the lid. Set the boxes upright and clearly mark the lids to avoid putting them into the van with the furniture and your other belongings. If you follow this procedure, your plants will be ready to travel safely for up to four days.
Rules & Regulations Regarding Plants
Many states regulate the transportation of certain plants. Some states even require a "Gypsy Moth Inspection Certificate." Traditionally, California, Arizona, and Florida have the most rigid restrictions. Check with your State Department of Agriculture or Department of Natural Resources to find out the rules and regs of your destination state.
If you find out that you cannot take your plants along, consider taking cuttings instead. Place them in a sterile mix, or in a plastic bag with damp cotton or paper towel. The cuttings should survive several days' travel and be ready to take root in your new home.

It represented his second goal of the weekend and third of the season. Sophomore defenseman Simon Denis and senior left wing Kyle Bonis were credited with the assists.
However, Lake Superior State scored the lone goal of the second period as Zach Sternberg scored his second goal of the season at 9:44 on the power play with Nick McParland picking up the assist.
Neither the Bulldogs nor the Lakers were able to find the back of the net in the duration of the final period.
Sophomore Bulldog goaltender CJ Motte registered 43 saves on the evening while the Lakers' Kevin Murdock totaled 26 saves. The Lakers totaled 44 shots on the night to 28 for the Bulldogs.

The much awaited for and previously promised update on Lisa Croslin has finally arrived. Radio on her RadioNewz Blog Forum has told all. You just have to wade through all the B/S going on in her nasty excuse of a forum in order to find out.
But in case you have better things to do with your time, then this post is for you.
The Croslins have a very bad habit of going in and out of jail, forever. This post will only cover the small time period revolving around Lisa's incident of August 22nd. Whether Lisa, as a drug addict, ever experienced a relapse after getting out of jail is totally besides the point. The only time period at issue here revolves around the events of August 22nd.
Certainly Lisa Croslin in her October 8th picture, shown above to the right, outside of the St. Johns County Courthouse appears to be rather normal looking, even after witnessing her daughter getting sentenced to 25 years on a charge of trafficking oxycodone.
RadioNewz Blog Forum Exposé
I had last caught up with the all the snarking, tit for tat posting, and baiting over on the RadioNewz Blog in the following posts.
- Lisa Croslin – RadioNewz Blog Exposé
- Lisa Croslin – RadioNewz Blog Exposé – Backlash
- Haleigh Cummngs on RadioNewz Blog – How could it have happened?
- Persnickety Posting on RadioNewz Blog is Reminiscent of Wikipedia
- RadioNewz Blog – Simon Barrett's Snitch Exposé
Personally, I think that Lisa Croslin needs to spend some time in prison. She after all has committed a number of serious criminal offenses. A sentence of six months would probably be enough, but perhaps she deserves more? Theoretically, doing a stretch in jail would allow her to dry out. But whether Florida will keep her drugged out on strong prescription medication during her entire jail sentence remains to be seen.
Lisa Croslin's Story
The Lisa Croslin story was previously told by me in the following posts of mine.
- Kim Picazio Outs BNN's Lies About Lisa Croslin
- Misty Croslin – BNN's Double Standard
- Lisa Croslin – Where is the police report?
- Simon Barrett is Clueless As Usual
In this post, I will be making an exposé of what really had happen to Lisa Croslin around the incident of August 22nd, according to what has been commented upon on Radio's RadioNewz Blog Forum.
Lisa Croslin – RadioNewz Blog – Timeline
About the easiest way to reveal exactly what had happened to Lisa Croslin is simply to do a timeline, listing the events as they chronologically took place. I shall let my readers make up their own minds as to what these events might signify.
Unfortunately, it is quite obvious that a lot of information has been obstructed by Radio and her peeps by use her forum's private messages (PM), traditional email, not to mention telephone calls.
Most of the following information primarily came from Radio, GER, and NurseLady; who like to brag about their outside activities. Simon Barrett's good Samaritan / snitch, Harriet Sweet / Sweat, will be referred to simply as HS for brevity.
The Lisa Croslin timeline around the events of August 22nd, as available on the RadioNewz Blog.
7/23— Cocaine Purchase Booking#: 10-03153
During her incarceration, HS met Lisa in her jail ministry.
Lisa wears dentures. Her dentures were unavailable in her purse from the time that she was arrested. How Lisa managed to eat her food without any dentures is totally beyond me.
8/17— Released from jail
Due to Chelsea Croslin taking her motherinlaw's possesions back to Masscuhetts; Lisa found herself without money, picture ID, dentures, and no street clothes.
A good Samaritan (HS) provided her with some clothes.

-Putman Community Medical Center examination took place between 21:25 and 23:35.
-Lisa arrived by ambulance.
-Medical Diagnosis: Mixing Prescript Xanax with Alcohol
"The woman that roughed Lisa up has lived in that shelter for many years! And she still does. As far as the Police report – it's my understanding that was the last thing on the shelter's mind to do as they didn't want any more trouble than they have on a regular basis which is plenty. Lisa was picked up and sent to the hospital. Homeless shelters put [up] with a whole lotta stuff. I guess peeps can call the shelter and bitch at them."
-According to BNN, HS says that Lisa allegedly named two persons: KP and AH.
8/23 – 8/27 Lisa wanders the streets as a homeless person.
8/23— BNN publishes Haleigh Cummings Update – Lisa Croslin Crashes And Burns?

8/25— Radio allegdedly states in private email, forwarded to me from KP.
"Yesterday [KP] reached out & helped someone who truly needed it & there was no agenda. She has a much bigger heart than I do."
-Jan Barrett allegedly wrote, on the same email forwarded from KP.
"I have to find where she said she gave Lisa money, I know on one blog she did say like you said her husband said but regardless the money still came from her. And now we are being accused of paying Lisa for the very short email interview Simon did with her. Anyway this is the part where she trashed you again yesterday"
8/26— Lisa met with her Parole Officer and allededly answered untruthfully an inquiry.
8/27— Steady Rain since darkness has arrived.

-Spent several hours over the course of a couple of days in the company of LC, trying to find a suitable place for her to reside, that would accept her.
-Lisa is now staying with a friend in Satsuma.
-Personally fed Lisa a dish of Spaghetti after finding out where she was.
-Reports that she now has food, a pace to camp out in a tent in a friends backyard, and the bare necessities. She had no phone minutes to talk to Misty.
–One parishioner said that it would be irresponsible of him to not protect those he associates with and that Lisa hasn't shown a new leaf and that he doesn't want to victimize those in his parish.
-Lisa pitched her tent in someone's backyard (for one night) and is requested to sleep there at night. She can go in the house during the day, but is not being allowed in the house during the night.

–KP had set up and dealt with the money issues.
One of Radio's peeps pays Lisa Court fees of $1,900 in full.
8/31— Lisa was arrested on violation of probation
9/01— NurseLady:
She's got air conditioning, a refridgerator, and microwave oven. Her room has a locked heavy door that stands between her and the outside world. She's, also, finally gotten in contact with Hank. Lisa's got food and emergency food stamps, now. She should have her ID and personal things back by at least Friday. She has clothes to wear. Oh, and Lisa has access to bus service for a buck, to get around now as she needs.
[Isn't it amazing how a unreformed criminal drug addict, thanks to Radio's peeps have set Lisa up? The ordinary penniless law abiding homeless person, no doubt, fairs far worst. I wouldn't be surprised at all, if Lisa didn't have HBO to while away her days.]
9/20— BNN publishes Oops! My Dog Ate The Truth! – Not A Haleigh Cummings Update!
– GER helped Lisa retrieve her medical record, read them to her, so that she could understand them.

We take pride in what we do, and what we do is not always easy. We have strict guidelines that ensure our products are of exceptional quality and that no short cuts have been taken. This intricate process starts with the leather, closely examining each individual hide, making sure there are no imperfections. After the leather is cut, all edges are buffed, polished and painted by hand. When the product begins to come together, finer details such as stitching are inspected to ensure quality construction. Upon completion, we perform a final inspection to certify the Frank Clegg signature of approval.
Smooth Tumbled Leather
This leather is gently tumbled in rotating drums filled with vegetable extracts to give it a distinctively soft and relaxed hand, while at the same time remaining durable. This leather is also finished with polishable waxes that will patina, but due to its more natural grain, the aging process will take longer than the harness belting. And just like our belting leather, a fine protective film is applied during the finishing process for added surface protection.

One yuletide event has landed on at least one NYPD officer's "naughty" list.
Police Lt. John Cocchi sent out a letter to 30 bars in midtown and Hell's Kitchen asking them to not take part in the yearly SantaCon bar crawl, the Daily News reports. Last year, thousands of people came to the event dressed as Saint Nick and other holiday characters, bringing trouble with them, Cocchi said in the letter.
"Having thousands of intoxicated partygoers roam the streets urinating, littering vomiting and vandalizing will not be tolerated in our neighborhood," Lt. John Cocchi wrote in the letter. "It is my recommendation that you do not sponsor this event in any way."
The crawl, which this year starts at 10 a.m. Dec. 14, raises money for several local charities, according to the event's website. The starting point is revealed on the eve of the event, and merrymakers are given the crawl's route throughout the day via social media.
The event's website warns participants to behave themselves, but the NYPD and local residents both say that last year's event got a little too festive.
"What do you tell a 5-year-old when they see a Santa passed out on the street, or carried by his buddies, or vomiting or defecating in front of the house," Bob Miner told the Daily News. "We all grow up, but there's no reason kids have to learn the truth about Santa that way."
Organizers didn't respond to NBC 4 New York's request for comments on the letter.
