Around the Farm: August 5, 2012
Around the Farm was originated here at Indians Prospect Insider, and takes a quick look at some of yesterday's performances by Indians' prospects throughout the system. The positions listed below are where the player was playing in yesterday's game.
Roberto Hernandez: SP, Lake County Captains: L (1-1), 7 1/3 IP, 6 H, 4 R/ER, 1 BB, 9 K, 4 HR:
Talk about your mixed bag with Hernandez, but I'm not sure it's on the good side at all. So, he went into the eighth inning, and that's good. He struck out nine, with only one walk, and you have to believe that's a good sign, especially considering his wild past. He only gave up six hits, and that's not too bad. Here's the thing, all four runs that he gave up were solo home runs. That's definitively not a good thing. So, where are we at with Hernandez? Well, one more minor league start…at least.
T.J. McFarland: SP, Columbus Clippers: W (5-5), 8 IP, 3 H, 1 BB, 5 K:
The big lefty has been all over the place this season in Columbus, and today he was in the place in the scenario that is a good thing. He had given up at least four runs in four of the last five ball games (23 total), so this was a welcome change. It's really hard to figure McFarland out. He's built like a guy that should be able to steamroll hitters, but he doesn't. He can bring some heat sometimes, but he lives in the low 90's or slower, and the higher he's gotten in the system, the more he's struggled with hitters. Then, he puts together a game like this. So, who is this guy? Is he a middle of the rotation, innings eater, or is he just another inconsistent starter that the Indians are so good at drafting and developing? Your guess is as good as mine.
Tony Wolters: SS, Carolina Mudcats: 3-for-5, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 HR, 3 RBI:
Wolters has a four game hit streak, and over his last two ballgames, he's 5-for-9. Wolters has had an interesting year that's had its well-documented ups and downs. Here's the thing. Those are the exact types of scenarios that showcase just how good a player can be going forward. Wolters isn't a guy that's going to hit 30 homers, and he's not a kid who's going to hit .350. He's just the hardest working player on every team that he plays on, and has one of the best attitudes of any player in the system. What will be interesting is where he ultimately plays, because there are better prospects or players at his position. Of course, you can never have too many options.
- Cord Phelps: 2B, Columbus: 2-for-3, 1 R, 2 2B, 1 BB: Phelps is playing some of his best baseball of the season. He's the only player with multiple hits for Columbus, and now has a four game hit streak. He has hits in eight of the last ten games, and is hitting .333 during that stretch.
- Columbus Offense: 5-for-33, 1 R, two doubles, 1 RBI, 2 BB, 8 K's: Their offense was putrid, but it got the job done. The one run was enough for T.J. McFarland and the Clippers staff.
- Frank Herrmann: Closer, Columbus: S (7), 1 IP, 1 BB, 1 K: Since Herrmann has moved into the closer role, he's really been light's out, minus one run, over the last 7 1/3 innings.
- Chun-Hsiu Chen: DH, Akron: 3-for-4, 1 R: Chen has been out for nearly a month thanks to a thumb injury, but he hasn't seemed worse-for-wear, going 5-for-12 since his return, with two runs, a double and an RBI.
- Thomas Neal: RF/LF, Akron: 0-for-3, 1 R: Neal saw his four-game multi-hit streak end, but I had to mention him in this piece because he's just exploded over the past couple of months. He's now third in the league in hitting at .321, and sixth in the league in runs. This kid needs a shot. How about letting his play dictate where he is, and not the Tribe pencil pushers…
- Nick Weglarz: LF, Akron: 2-for-2, 2 R, 2 2B, 1 RBI, 1 BB: Weglarz rolled out two doubles in this game, then had another in game two, which was suspended. It'll be finished next week, so that's when we'll talk about it here. Hopefully Weglarz can finish with a flourish.
- Danny Salazar: SP, Akron: 4 2/3 IP, 5 H, 4 R/ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 HR: Salazar made his first start at the Double A level, and got touched up pretty good. He made 76 pitches though, so it appears as though he's a few starts away from being able to pitch without a limited count.
- Rob Bryson: RP, Akron: L (4-2), 1 1/3, 2 H, 2 R/ER, 3 BB, 3 K, 1 HR: This is the dichotomy of Bryson. He's been dominant in his previous three starts, looking like a plus arm, than he got lit up, as he always does after a few appearances, proving that the only thing consistent about his pitching is his inconsistency.
- Carlos Moncrief: CF, Carolina: 2-for-4, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 K: He has a six-game hit streak now, but is only hitting .216 over his last ten because all those games were one-hit affairs, except for Sunday.
- Alex Monsalve: C, Carolina: 2-for-3, 1 R: Monsalve has slowly started to figure things out in the Carolina League. Over his last ten ballgames, he's hitting .303, but only has one extra base hit…a double. Cleveland isn't hoping Monsalve is a slap-hitting catcher, so that power will have to start showing itself as he moves through the system.
- Jesus Aguilar: 1B, Carolina: 1-for-5, 1 RBI: The big first baseman has been struggling of late, but his lone hit happened to be the game-winner on Sunday afternoon.
- Jose Ramirez: 2B, Lake County: 2-for-4, 1 K: Ramirez has a six-game hit streak with four multi-hit games during that stretch, and six in his last ten games. His ten game line is .442/.467/.535, and he has his season average up to .347.
- Jordan Smith: RF, Lake County: 1-for-4, 1 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI: This wasn't Smith's best game of his career by any stretch, but he hit his sixth home run, which is definitely something to take a notice of. If Smith adds power to his game, this kid becomes something special.
- Jerrud Sabourin: 1B, Lake County: 2-for-4: While I'm not going to say it out loud, those of you that follow my ATF's know exactly what I'm thinking of with regards to Sabourin. This is his third straight two-hit game, and his fourth in five games. He has six multi-hit games in his last eight.
- Leonardo Castillo: DH, Lake County: 2-for-4, 1 2B, 1 3B: Castillo is only hitting .207 on the season, but is hitting .297 over his last ten.
- Joseph Wendle: 2B, Mahoning Valley: 3-for-5, 1 R, 1 HR, 3 RBI: Mr. Wendle continues to rack things up in the New York/Penn league. He hit his third homer, and upped his average to .326 on the season.
- Joe Sever: 3B, Mahoning Valley: 2-for-4, 1 2B, 2 K: Sever has his average over .300 with his two-hit game, and is a bit of a surprise with the stick this year.
- Robel Garcia: SS, Mahoning Valley: 2-for-3, 1 BB, 1 SB, 1 PO: Garcia continues to rejuvenate his career with his second straight two-hit game. He has four in his last ten games, and is hitting .345 during that stretch.
- Eric Haase: C, AZL Indians: 2-for-3, 1 R, 1 2B: Haase had two hits, and the Indians had four hits. I'm not sure what's more amazing, the fact that Haase had half the total team hits, or the fact that in this league, there were only three total runs in a game.
- Dillon Howard: SP, AZL Indians: L (0-6): 3 1/3 IP, 5 H, 2 R/ER, 1 BB, 6 K: What is this? Did Dillon Howard just roll out a good start? It sure looks like it from this perspective. At the very least, Howard had his control, but was still hittable. Perhaps it's a step in the right direction though.
- Anderson Polanco: RP, AZL Indians: 2 2/3 IP, 2 H, 4 K: Polanco was absolutely dominant in perhaps his best outing in 2012.

Also, teams do not know about all the health issues a minor leaguer has. It is why sometimes the Indians get on me when I publish infirmary reports on the players and why sometimes they are so vague when they provide the info to me. They know other teams read this site, and they know that in turn it can drop the value of a player. Teams will do their due diligence by having a player complete a physical when they acquire the player, but before they acquire them they never truly know their health except for any already on-file health records they may ask for.
Now as to why Neal is in Double-A still is beyond me....although in all honesty it isn't that much of an issue. Triple-A is just a higher level, but I think in a lot ways the line between Double-A and Triple-A is blended in and there is not much difference between being in one of the other. Triple-A just has more minor league veterans. It's the only real difference.
Shadow, I never said stats don't matter, I just said they are not the be-all-end-all and that there were more important measures. You obviously always want the player to perform as in most cases it helps back up the thoughts of the potential a player has to translate and handle a higher level. But it always comes back to the tools and abilities of a player that ultimately determine how much they are valued. There are a lot of players that put up good Double-A and Triple-A numbers, but because of their skill set and tools, it does not translate well to the big leagues and they struggle. Teams know this model, and while it is not always right and some players prove it wrong, it unfortunately for some players like Lawson is why they never really get a fair shake. The bottom line when it comes to the minors is a player has to do something to standout because there are so many players, and of those 20 or so that stand out, maybe 5-7 get an opportunity eventually. It is impossible to give every player an opportunity, which is why teams prioritize their players.
I don't think not trading Perez was a mistake. They can trade him next July if they need to. The injuries to CC Lee, Stowell and Sturdevant thinned the Indians internal bullpen options considerably. You trade Perez, and next year's bullpen could be very frightening.
Please don't use logic when discussing Indians front office decisions. Just know that they are smarter than you and I. I'm so excited about the future of this organization and you should be too. Within 4-5 years they will be a .500 team, which will lead ti a 6 month window to trade 3 or 4 top prospects for an erratic 1 year wonder starting pitcher and then back it up with a few minor league free agents to push them over the top. Can't wait!!!

Mr. Bunde's letter (Feb. 4) in response to Paul Zimmerman (Feb. 2) is disingenuous. His question regarding support for "increasing royalties and severance taxes on those who extract our ... resources" is designed to deflect attention from the real problem that faces Alaskans. Either we approve taxes to pay for services we all benefit from, directly or indirectly, or we will all suffer the slow ravages of illiteracy, poor public health, crumbling infrastructure, and rising crime rates against persons and property. If our state was faced with the threat of enemy invasion, would we all say that we don't need an army because it would require paying taxes, that we'd be better off fighting as individuals? Only the foolish (or greedy) among us would prefer such nonsense.
State government is something we all benefit from - even Sen. Con Bunde can understand that. The Alaska Permanent Fund is a meager fraction of the wealth that has been and continues to be extracted from Alaska's wilderness, a public asset. It was designed to compensate Alaskans for a small measure of the massive profits private corporations have accumulated. The right thing to do is to assess a tax on the profits made from the use of public wealth. That revenue can then be spent running the state of Alaska and paying the likes of Senator Bunde for representing our interests. The Permanent Fund ought to remain as it is: Compensation for what Alaskans have collectively sacrificed for American energy needs, not a piggy bank for cowardly politicians.

Greg Norman believes Rory McIlroy can break long-standing record
Former world number one Greg Norman believes Rory McIlroy can break Jack Nicklaus' major championship record.
Last Updated: 12/12/12 10:31am
Current world number one McIlroy won the 2011 US Open and this year's US PGA Championship, with Woods failing to win a major since 2008.
Two-time major champion Norman said he would like to see the Irishman surpass Nicklaus' record of 18 major championship wins.
He said: "I think if anybody can break Nicklaus' record he could, because he is young, he is ahead of the game, he is ahead of the curve on a lot of things and he has a very balanced life across the board.
"So I will keep my fingers crossed for him because I would love to see that happen. Somebody will do it one day and it could be Rory.
"I am a big fan of Rory's, he can be as big as he wants to be."
Backing the Irishman to take the crown, Norman believes while Woods may be capable of winning further major titles, he will fail to break the 26-year record.
Norman said: "Every year that passes by that he hasn't won a major it just gets that much harder to win a major.
"I don't care how many you have won, it just becomes more and more difficult. He might win one or two more but I don't think he will win the four or five more that he needs to win to break the record."

A New Perspective {Vlog}
There was such a great deal on the glasses + my vision insurance that is better than the one I'd had all these years, caused me to do something I've not done before - purchase two pairs! Yep. I was able to get two pairs for basically what I would have paid for one. But even more than that, I have never been so excited about a pair of frames. I've wanted these style of frames for so long, but for different reasons I've never been able to get them until now. What say ye?
Pair #1: Black and Lime (Plastic Frames) - Nine West
Pair #2: Pink and Black (Metal Frames) - Armani Exchange
And because I'm loving this vlogging thing, I've created a short vlog on my Saturday out with my mom. Also, the day I got these glasses. Oh, joy!

Sunlight: Full sun to partial shade
Maturity: 90-120 days from seed to flower
Height: 24 to 36 inches
Spacing: 12 to 24 inches apart in all directions
Home gardeners everywhere are growing daisies. The simple white flowers with yellow button centers stand tall, gracing our landscapes with abundant blossoms, long after other flowers are fading away (see our article Summer Flowers for Color to learn more).
Beautiful both in the garden and as cut flowers, daisies are hardy, drought-resistant, and provide years of gorgeous, old-fashioned blossoms. The popular Shasta daisy, a good variety for high altitude, low water locations, is probably what most people think of when they think daisy. This hardy classic perennial stands 2-3 feet tall.
Daisy Seeds
Everyone loves daisies! Easy to grow and beautiful both in the garden and as cuttings.View all
Tired of the same old flowers? Heirloom flower seeds — the ones that Grandma used to grow — add charm to your garden while stirring memories with their abundant blossoms and arousing scents. Best of all, we ship them FREE!
Quick Guide
- Simple easy-care plant
- Grow from seed, get from your local nursery, or find a friend who needs to divide their plants
- Need full sun and average soil, though better soil produces healthier plants
- Plant just before the last frost — cold hardy
- Bloom early summer through fall
- Long-lasting as cut flowers
Site Preparation
Daisies like rich, fast draining soil, ample water and plenty of sunshine. However, they are very adaptable and will tolerate poor soil conditions and partial shade. Work some well-aged animal manure or organic compost into the soil to help promote abundant blooms. Read our article How to Prepare Garden Soil for Planting here.
How to Plant
Easy to grow from seed, division or nursery stock. Plant directly into the soil 1/8 inch deep when a light frost is still possible. Seeds will germinate in 10-20 days and plants will bloom the following year – after one season's growth. Apply an organic all-purpose fertilizer early in the season to promote strong, sturdy growth. Prior to blooming, switch to a bud and bloom booster high in phosphorous to promote spectacular flowers.
Remove the spent flowers, or use them as cuttings in flower arrangements to extend the flowering season into the fall. Plants should be cut down to the ground in late fall.
Insects and Disease
Insects and disease are not typically a problem with daisies. However, keep an eye out for slugs and snails and treat with diatomaceous earth or other natural pest control methods, if necessary.
Foliage and flowers are also susceptible to several diseases such as gray mold, powdery mildew and Verticillium wilt, which will disfigure leaves and flowers. To reduce plant diseases:
- Avoid overhead watering whenever possible
- Properly space plants to improve air circulation
- Apply organic fungicides to prevent further infection
Seed Saving Instructions
Daisies are heavy seed producers. When the flowers dry out, cut them off and hang upside down in bundles. The seeds are contained in the heads between the spikes. Once the heads are dry, they can be hand-crushed and the seed winnowed from the chaff. Learn more about saving heirloom flower seeds here.

We have received more compliments than we can possibly list on this fansite page. Ocassionally we will be replacing these with other compliments. Thanks for taking the time to contact us.
It was an honor to meet you at Bryson City, North Carolina. My two sons, Levi and Will are now big Lone Ranger fans. Thank you for the personal note from you in the diner car to the boys. The waitress gave it to them after you left. They had no idea that The Lone Ranger would dining close to them disguised in street clothes.That was very special. The picture we got will always remind them of that special time. I will remind them of the Lone Ranger creed as I feel it expresses what is best in people. Levi wants to say: "I made a mask out of black paper and tomorrow I will dress up as the Lone Ranger and I like the Lone Ranger better than trains now". We look forward to seeing you again. Thanks for the memories! Ride on and HI YO Silver!
So many of us enjoyed having you visit us at the Allentown Fair Grounds in Pennsylvania. I have been a "Lone Ranger Fan" since childhood. I was the grey haired guy with the framed membership card and badge. You are doing a "Great Job". May the spirit of The Lone Ranger be kept alive for years to come. It was great meeting you and Silver.
I would like to thank you for coming to the SPCA fundraiser in Winchester. Your appearance was a wonderful addition to this event.
I would like to personally thank you for your participation with our recent 17th Annual Hoiliday Parade and Toy drive in Greenbelt. Because of your enthusiasm, support and participation it was a great success. If possible I would like to schedule you for future events.
I am very proud to know a man like you whos is keeping the legend of The Lone Ranger alive...and all that his character stands for...You look stunning in your outfit sitting tall in the saddle as the masked legend (and what a saddle - it's by far the best one anyone out there uses). When you look in the mirror completely decked out in the attire of The Lone Ranger...you can say with confidence "I AM THE LONE RANGER"... and you know what ...you are!! God bless you in all that you do .
To: The Lone Ranger - I am forwarding you an email I sent to the Mayor of Ocean City, MD
Dear Mayor Meehan;
Reviewing the local paper and news channel we came upon the "Lone Ranger" appearance to be held at the OC Library. I want to let you know - this was Great!!! A most positive event that I trust you will continue to hold.
The news article reported that your Town Council voted 6 to 1 and there was discussion regarding the use of The Lone Rangers' Guns. Whoever placed the dissenting vote has little regard for the experience(s) of the children, both young & old that attended and enjoyed this event. Bah humbug to them.
The Lone Ranger stood for Truth, Justice and the American Way. He always fought for the Freedoms we so enjoy. Politicians come and go -- as do their petty ideals and personal agendas. As a lifelong Marylander, whose family helped found this Great State, defend this State and Nation and as fan of heros [so sorely needed] in these times, I hoped, to not only meet The Lone Ranger that day - but, to understand the controversy.
Well I must say, the library staff and volunteers did a remarkable job. And The Lone Ranger and his group could not have been more positive.
My only disappointment was not seeing any representation of your council as The Lone Ranger presented his message(s).
However, I will never forget the fact that the Ocean City Council contained at least one with such poor mindset regard and concern for what was an event that promoted Patriotism, Lore of the Old West, Aninal Care, Storytelling and yes, even our 2nd Amendment.
I am thankful that the majority of your council allowed me to view such a positive show in these times without constraint.

High School Soccer Player Attacked Another Girl [VIDEO]
Talk about being totally out of control. In the midst of a tight South Carolina girls soccer match between two area rivals, a player fell after a seemingly innocuous foul. Most people thought that she would calmly restart play, what she did instead has sparked a criminal investigation.
Watch the assault after the jump.The player who is now the subject of local law enforcement is Lewisville, South Carolina, is High school senior Annette McCullough. The attack, which you can see in the video featured hair pulling and punches being rained down on the Chester player.
McCullough who is 18 years old was charged with simple assault. She got off too easy in my opinion.

This wedding is about the sophisticated use of feisty color and style within the casual approach of a backyard BBQ. Ideally, the party would be shared with a modern indoor space that opens to naturally landscaped outdoors. An intimate guest list and relaxed tone should enable everyone to feel at home. The wedding would not be extravagant, but every detail chosen to set the mood will show that there was much thought put into each element. The feeling would be warm, hand-picked and unique. Tradition will not trump the individual style of the bride and groom at this affair.

Dutch Schnell: Egg In His Faceby Staff Writer / Minnesota Wild
Dutch Schnell, goalie-racer here, and as you can tell by analyzing the picture to the left, I am utterly perplexed on this frigid Friday.
The reasons are many State of Hockey legion, the reasons…are…many. I won't list them all, because, quite frankly, you have been slacking so much at work/school that even as you read this, I fully aware that you've got your mouse placed directly over the "minimize" button in case your boss or teacher sneaks up behind you.
Allow me to explain my rationale.
When you mix together a third cup of a three game losing streak, a quarter cup of injuries to the four of our top players, and toss in another quarter cup of the drivers side door of my lime green hatchback frozen shut on consecutive days (does that add up to a cup?), well you get a little perturbed.
To make matters worse, I am convinced that the reason for the Wild's recent (and soon-to-end) mini slump is due solely to the fact that I have been banned from telling the State of Hockey legion exactly how and why, the Wild will win on any given night.
I digress.
The genesis for today's bewilderment can be summed up in two words: Egg Olson.
|Do NOT let this goalie-racer in your house.
But if I had a dime for every time someone approached me and said, "Dutch, you are undoubtedly the greatest goalie-racer in the history of the world, and I plan on naming my first three children after you, but why such hard feelings towards Egg Olson?" I would be able to buy a really nice food dehydrator.
For some reason, people want to know if Egg is really such a bad guy.
In one word: yes.
But I am nothing if not a passionate linguist, so you aren't going to escape this column with just an affirmative answer. I am going to club you over the head with reasons to uninvite him to any of your upcoming weddings, receptions or Sweet 16 birthday parties on MTV.
|Is there anyone who doesn't like Tom Hanks? Just one...Egg Olson.
I can easily overlook his penchant for jaywalking, driving 30 miles an hour in the far left lane and shouting "WHO'S THE MAAAAANNNNN?!?!" every time he finishes 10 repetitions on the bench press at Lifetime Fitness.
His chronic head lice problem? It doesn't really bother me.
His dreadlocked back hair? Hey, we all have our quirks.
I could go on and on, but like I said, you really should be working right now.
Just read what I'm about to write, chew on it for a bit, and tell your family and friends what I said: Egg Olson is a disgrace to goalie-racing.
No one ever said that goalie-racing is a clean sport. No one ever claimed it was pretty.
But there is an art to my sport, there is a history that needs to be recognized and there are legends of the races that need to be respected.
Olson doesn't even know how to spell "respect." He's one of these hot head youngsters more worried about the fame and the money than anything else.
Between the boards, he's the Pablo Picasso of cheap shots. A butt end here, a thrown skate at my face
|This photo was taken milliseconds after Egg dropped Dutch with a goalie stick to the back of the head.
And what bothers me is, I don't know where else to turn. The Goalie-racing union is knee deep in drafting a new Collective Bargaining Agreement.
The International Goalie Racing Federation turns a blind eye, saying that Egg's antics have sent our sport's television ratings to an all-time high. Congress is too busy busting roided up baseball thugs.
Will this insanity ever end? Or are my future kids going to have to be nurtured in a world where goalie-racers who routinely put mouse traps in my skates and barbed wire in their blockers are accepted?
I bequeath you State of Hockey legion, don't let Egg win. And DO NOT let him into your lives. It's too late for me, save yourselves.
I pledge to you that next week's diatribe will be solely Wild focused. I just had to get these thoughts off my chest protector.
I am Dutch Schnell, and I…am a goalie-racer.

In Which I Arrive At An Overly Complicated Applesauce Recipe That I Adore
It's Thanksgiving week. Which is the culmination of autumn. And for me, the power of autumn lies not in the bullshit power of pumpkin (let's be honest, half-a-dozen other squashes will kick pumpkin right in the gourds — uhh, hello? Butternut? Acorn? Kabocha? Motherfucking delicata?), but rather, in the power of apples.
My son, he loves applesauce. He would stab me to get to the applesauce that I made — foolishly, of course, since I'm the dude actually making that applesauce. He kills me? No more applesauce, kid. But he loves applesauce so much it's like he's on bath salts. It clouds his brain. Ruins his judgment. Makes him run around willy-nilly in a sociopathic nightmare video game world of his own making where instead of eating dots and running from ghosts he's running from cops and eating people's faces.
Needless to say, we make sure he gets his applesauce fix.
I've been trying to circumnavigate a strong applesauce recipe for a long time — the proper spices, liquids, apples. Since we have a VitaMix blender, I can just take raw apple, chuck it in there, and arrive at a capable applesauce in like, 30 seconds. No cooking required.
As a sidenote, for those who do not possess a VitaMix and who are hesitant about paying the admittedly-exorbitant advice –? It's worth it. I use that thing as often as I use our oven, which is to say, with great frequency. It's like paying to have a grizzly bear hang out in your kitchen, a robotic grizzly bear who will gnash up in his mouth anything you require… uh, gnashed. The blender will chop up whatever you so desire. You can chuck a boombox in there and it'll turn it into a black slurry. If you throw a single molecule of uranium into the spinning blades, you will create nuclear fusion. Or fission.
Or maybe just uranium pudding, I dunno, shut up.
Back to this goddamn applesauce.
So, like I said, I've been working on various applesauce recipes over the course of the many moons, and I think I've arrived at one. This recipe is needlessly complicated. And when I say needlessly, I mean it — I suspect these steps (which drift toward the alchemical) are somehow irrelevant. I could probably do this much easier. Each component is almost certainly extraneous, but hey, whatever. This is the only way I've been able to arrive at an applesauce I properly adore. B-Dub loves it, too, because I tried one day to take this applesauce away from him, and he bit off my index finger with all his new teeth. And fresh baby teeth are sharp. They're like new knives. They are at maximum ouchieness.
Here's what you do to get the applesauce inside your body:
Four apples.
Strike that. Four honeycrisp apples. I have tried this with other apples — *angry buzzer sound* — nope, just ain't the same. Your mileage may of course vary in that you prefer other apples. Fine. Whatever. Philistine.
Take two apples and peel them.
Then roughly cut 'em up. Couple-inch pieces. You don't need to dice 'em. Get a cleaver and — whack whack whack — make it happen.
Then take the other two apples and dice them up. Little cubes the size of the tip of your pinky finger. Maximum surface area. That's what you want. Which is also the name of my Die Hard-esque action movie where I battle terrorists not in a giant skyscraper but rather in an empty asphalt lot. My catchphrase is, "You Want Valet Parking, Motherfucker?" THEN BOOM.
Now: bisect your apple supply. Little cubes over there. Big rough hunks over there.
The diced bits are going to be roasted.
The bigger chunks cooked on a stovetop.
For the roasting:
Take your HELL CHAMBER ('oven') and launch that badboy into the area of 425F. When roasty-toasty, take your apples and spread them on a non-stick cookie sheet. You will now become the Brown Sugar Fairy and sprinkle brown sugar over them. Also: a dash of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
Then into the oven they go. Fifteen minutes or until they are totally soft and show a little color.
For the stovetoppery:
Chuck (HAH I'M A VERB MOTHERFUCKERS) those apple chunks into a saucepan. Cover them roughly with — no, no, not water, put that goddamn water down. Don't be an asshole. Water is worthless here. And so boring! Water is the thief of taste. No, here it's — well, you know how in some recipes you cover beef in beef broth, or chicken in chicken broth? We're going to cover the apples in drum roll please, apple broth.
By which I mean, apple cider. Not hard apple cider, unless you're a liquor pig.
Use the apple cider of your choice. I like unfiltered.
Another sprinkling of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger.
Also: a half-a-TB of vanilla sugar.
If you have no vanilla sugar (which is easy to make: you bury a used-up vanilla bean in your sugar like you're a cat burying his, erm, "tootsie rolls" in the sandbox, then you wait like, a day and all your sugar smells like vanilla), maybe try just a splash of vanilla extract and the same amount of sugar. I don't know. I don't care. You do what you like, I'm not your mother.
*dun dun dun*
Boil, then reduce heat to a simmah.
So: cook until the apples are fork-tender. Shouldn't be more than ten minutes.
When done, you take:
The roasted apples.
And the stovetop apples.
And you throw them in a blender. Or a food processor. Or under a potato masher. Or in a bowl with a fork. Or under the feet of some dancing homeless person. I don't really care how you smoosh this stuff up.
Oh! But wait there's more.
Into the mix, pre-blend, put one-third a cup of the cider in there.
(The rest of the cider: Uhh, drinky-drunky-dranky that shit, hoss. It's warm and delicious. Especially with whiskey! Then again, aren't all things better with whiskey? THEY ARE IT'S SCIENCE.)
I blend on low for a short time to get a chunky sauce.
You may like a smoother sauce because you are a coward.
That's okay. Blend it to an airy froth if you like. I'm not the boss of you.
*dun dun dun*
One last thing:
You think, "Oh, I can just start eating this applesauce right fucking now."
But you would be mistaken.
Stop. Put it in a glass dish. Cover it up.
Then put it in your refrigerator (aka THE COLD-BOT). Overnight. Overnight. Do not test my patience. Do not ruin your own taste sensation. This applesauce needs time to cool down. For all the flavors to marry together in an autumnal orgy of sweet arctic fruit-sex.
Only then will you eat it.
And only then will you thank me for my needlessly complicated applesauce recipe.
I accept donations in the form of bottles of whiskey.
*waits for whiskey*

I wish I was a verb…. oh yeah, applesauce!
Thank you!
I am a verb once removed. 'Charlie those apple chunks into a saucepan'. Does sound very yummy to eat by the ladleful!
I've tried to blend things that were hot before and it led to glass-shattery badness. Maybe for those that don't have a robot bear, refrigerate THEN blend (or does the cider cool it down enough)?
How do you even make a recipe sound bad-ass?? You should write a cookery book. I'd buy it.
Would you please write a damn cookbook already!?
Oven = HELL CHAMBER. I love it.
I am not a verb. Sadly, I am a hamburger synonym.
Ooh, roasting the apples is a brilliant idea. Also, using an immersion blender in the hot mixture will work wonderfully, with no fear of glass shards. Also also, I want those hedgehogs.
I am a verb.
You really Jamesed that shit up! (go with it)
Despite what my friend Delilah S. Dawson says, this recipe sounds delicious…..if you add the 1 cup of bourbon to the mix.
Hedgies!!! I'ma come visit and provide free babysitting in return for applesauce. Also, some of that stuff you bragged about some time last year that I can't remember exactly when but it haunts me.
The vanilla flavoring, great idea, I'm gonna try that vanilla stick in the cat-box sugar bowl. Thanks for the tip.
Apple sauce and the likes are great when diapers finally end. I learned that anal retentive is not just figurative, literary, psycho-anal-litic terminology. It's a shitty reality. Yippy for apple sauce.
I write a cooking blog and am seriously considering changing my writing style.
Shepherd's pie in the HELL CHAMBER. I bet it tastes like actual shepherds if you make it in a HELL CHAMBER.
I'd buy a whole series of cookbooks just to see what titles you'd give them.
I am so jealous. This is a wonderful recipe and I can't eat any of it… but I *can* share it… and I have friends who will love it!
Thank you.
I love you, chuck wendig! I'ma come marry you so you cook for me! I pay in back rubs!

Weekend Wanderings – Taking the Colour Out of the Ordinary
Yesterday my daughter had to go into the city to pick up a text book for her first class on Monday at Uni. She wanted me to come, which meant I would want to take photos. I have taken photos in the city so many times over the last few years and I never get tired of it. I thought that I would take them this time of nothing specific, but just the city doing what the city does, so to speak.
I wandered around the streets, watching what was going on and took photos of it. I knew before I went into the city that I was going to make all the photos B&W, so that was an interesting thing for me. I had to think about what I thought would make great B&W images.
It was interesting photographing the mundane, in some ways. The things that we see every day as we walk around the city. I did add some architecture as well, and tried some things.
Initially I started with the 50mm lens. I know so many people love the 50mm, but it just isn't wide enough for me, and I can't fit enough into the frame. I think I should have opted for the 35mm. I have a friend who has that one and it is her favourite.
I never tire of how much you can fit into the frame when using the 14-24mm lens. I love the abstract nature of these images. I am not sure B&W is good for them, but it does make them more abstract.
The state library had something going on, beanbags on the grass and coffee shop out the front. I didn't really look to see why, I was too busy taking photos of it all.
So today's images are all B&W and they go from the mundane, to the ordinary, to some great architecture. I am going to put them all into a gallery for you. I am off this morning to teach my second class in Eltham. Great group of people, I am looking forward to teaching them what I know about Landscape photography.
Here is a gallery for you. I also wanted to let you know that the watermark in each of the image was done with the Mass Watermark software, so easy.

"She wanted me to come, which meant I would want to take photos." Well, that's a given. I hope your daughter understands. And you came back with some great images! I'm not sure what building it is but shooting straight up at the interior dome is my favorite.March 1, 2014
I think she does, she doesn't get too upset, I think it has to be a give and take sort of thing. I am rather happy with some of the shots, that building is Melbourne Central, and the brick one is an old shot tower, that the national trust, or whoever looks after these wouldn't let them knock down when they built the shopping centre there. Lucky for us really. Thanks Emilio.March 1, 2014
Thank you so much Ron.March 1, 2014
A fantastic B&W gallery. One way, I guess, to "think" in B&W is to think of your camera is loaded with B&W film only and color was only used by very few.March 1, 2014
Thank you David. It was interesting doing it this way. I usually think, I will just take photos, then later on while on my computer, I might feel the urge to make some images B&W and then go looking for them. It was different actually setting out to take them. I had to keep thinking if things would work in black and white, some did, some didn't. That is so true, I vaguely remember when colour became more accessible to people.March 1, 2014
Some great scenes rendered in B&W – especially the abstracts – good stuff, great tones. The mundane is often overlooked, but somehow these images stand the test of time.March 1, 2014
I agree Robert, the mundane is, and does. Thank you so much, I got your email, thanks for images, I will just use one, if that is okay.March 1, 2014
Fine – I wanted to give you a choice as B&W has so many ways it can work.March 1, 2014
Good choices Robert, thank you, I think the first one was my favourite.March 1, 2014
That was my guess for your pick 🙂March 1, 2014
I love those ones, which one would you pick? 🙂March 2, 2014
With only one to use – I agree that the Colorado River scene is the winner – Bracing for another big snow here in the next day or so.March 2, 2014
Then that one it will be. More snow how wonderful, I know it isn't wonderful to you, but I love it, love seeing it from afar.March 2, 2014
I really like the photos, Leanne. In some ways I thing b&w brings out textures more. A lot of the photos have a silkiness to them and some, like the cool upshot of the building, have that grid. The texture and values seem emphasized without the color. There's a different beauty to them, like with black and white movies.March 1, 2014
I think B&W does that as well. It was an interesting exercise to do. Thank you so much Nia.March 1, 2014
I think sometimes B&W photos make something ordinary worth taking a look at, like your top photo of people in the cross walk. Plus you have a great eye for detail and staging. I like your photos very much.March 1, 2014
It was an interesting thing to do, not something I have really done much of before. Thank you so much Iris, I appreciate that.March 1, 2014
Jackie Saulmon Ramirez #
I'm not a photographer so when I thought about black & white, at first I thought it may seem two dimensional. But these shots are great, they have depth and variety. The dome would be my favorite and I like the image in the mall with the checkered floor.March 1, 2014
I completely understand what you mean Jackie, it is weird, and it does seem to make you look at other things that you might not have noticed otherwise. I love the dome ones. Thank you.March 1, 2014
Nelson #
I really love your third photo, gave me vertigoMarch 1, 2014
Thank you Nelson, it is a bit like that.March 1, 2014
Black and white images are so interesting. I find that I'm not distracted by the colour and start to search more for details. I love the first photo – Young and Jacksons…this time next week we will be there!March 1, 2014
That is great point Carol, removing the colour does make you focus on other things. Oh Young and Jacksons, not quite the pub it used to be, but I am very happy it is still there. I think you might luck in with some great weather Carol, it is certainly looking like a mild week and not much rain.March 1, 2014
I just said to my husband yesterday we should check the weather forecast and he said, "Don't do it yet. It will change five times before next weekend!" Which is true.
When I see Young and Jacksons I know I'm in Melbourne. I don't think I've ever been inside, but it is just so iconic.March 1, 2014
He is probably right, you just never know around here.
I must say the building that does that for me is Flinders Street Station. I will have to buy you a beer there one day, or wine, we can drink it in front of Chloe.March 1, 2014
Lovely!March 1, 2014
🙂March 1, 2014
Love love love! And I could never tire of photographing in a city like that!March 1, 2014
Thank you, it is great fun and every time I go in, I see things I hadn't noticed before.March 1, 2014
Please go back to your artistic watermarks — it's fun looking for them!March 1, 2014
I still do them, but not on there, there are too many and it takes too long, haha.March 1, 2014
Leanne, thanks for all the replays …. *smile – you know what I will say about this … but I like the patio photo. I wish you a pleasant weekend … you playing with B&W and I playing with Oscar. *smileMarch 1, 2014
You and Oscar have a great time Viveka.March 1, 2014
I have seen some of the photos already, they are looking good and I like the way you are trying Oscar out on lots of subjects. Very foggy there in Sweden right now. It is overcast here.March 2, 2014
I can't remember we had fog like this .. so long as I have lived here, soon 5 years – hate fog, but good for great shots. Really like Oscar – easy going. And that 24-1200mm lens is out of the world. Thanks for your support and for looking after my "art"
Leanne, I asked yesterday what size you use when you post your photos, you musst have missed it.March 2, 2014
I love fog like that, you can get some amazing atmospheric shots. So go with it, see what you can do. I have heard that camera is really amazing. I have seen some fantastic work from it, so I imagine you will get heaps as well. You're welcome Viveka, it is all about supporting one another I think.
I thought I had responded, I sent you a link, but I post with my images being 800 pixels longest side, I try and get them under 200KB.March 2, 2014
It is a great thing to do Viveka, also protect yourself, you have some fantastic images, you don't want people to steal them.
You are welcome, it is good for all of us to support one another, so thank you too for the support.March 3, 2014
Thank you, I like that view, I love looking at them, they are strange.March 1, 2014
sandlera #
I loved these images.March 1, 2014
Thank you Anne.March 1, 2014
Magic photos … what an amazing city Melb is.March 1, 2014
I think so too Julie, thank you.March 1, 2014
I will Bob, thank you so much.March 1, 2014
In black & white, or in color, Melbourne and one of her best photographers shine, shine, and shine! Leanne, you and your family have a great weekend! Take care. 🙂March 1, 2014
Thank you so much Fabio, you and yours have a great weekend too. 🙂March 1, 2014
I will have to work out what they.March 1, 2014
As your images show, street photography is particularly apt for monochrome.March 1, 2014
It certainly seems to be Sally, not something I would have thought before, but it does seem to work well. Thank you.March 1, 2014
Love these B&W images, you've given it a real historic feel. I especially admire the photo of the statue with a bit of light over it. I've really enjoyed your photo work.March 1, 2014
Thank you, that is wonderful to hear. I haven't really done photos of the city like this before, it is very interesting.March 1, 2014
The tower beneath the glass is impressive enough, and then the black and white really makes the eye focus on the structures! Very nicely done, those are beautiful! The photo of the tables & chairs near the checkered floor is fun, too, especially with the two very different architectural styles behind them. Very interesting. And the cakes! Always pleasant to look at. 🙂March 1, 2014
Thank you Jen, I really like the shot tower and the glass dome ones too. I was worried removing the colour would take something away from them, but I think it makes them stronger. The checked floor is fun, not sure how long it will be there.March 1, 2014
Lovely set of images Leanne….a good mix of street, architecture and still life photography.March 1, 2014
Oh yes, I guess it is, thank you Mark.March 1, 2014
Its a supercular pic.March 1, 2014
Thank you.March 1, 2014
Thanks very much for the inspiration! Setting out to make b&w photos is for sure interesting, I think I will try today at the stable, see what I come up with. The sun's not our anyway and everything's still in dreary winter colours, might as well take b&w pictures. Have a great weekend!March 1, 2014
It is interesting to do, I have never really done it before, but I have to admit, now that I have been playing with some images, I am looking for B&W images everywhere. Sounds like your weather could be perfect for it. Good luck, thanks Bee.March 2, 2014
Nice work! Love the dome shots and the one of the front of Flinders Street Station with the clocks the most, but they're all really good…I think the street shots work best in black and white – it's not immediately obvious that they're recent shots, giving them a timeless aspect that I like…March 1, 2014
I have been thinking the same Marie, there is a timeless quality about them that I had never considered before, I think the street shots and that one of Flinders Street Station is especially like that. I like the way the domed images have come out more abstract and you seem to concentrate on the shapes more. Thank you.March 2, 2014
Thank you so much.March 2, 2014
Thank you, what a lovely thing to say.March 2, 2014
Wonderful photos!! Some day I'd love a full frame camera with a wide lens. Right now I use my DX with a 10-12mm lens but that creates some distortion at the edges.March 2, 2014
That sounds almost like what I have anyway. I love the full frame, not so sure about the file sizes, haha. I am struggling with my laptop, and know that I am going to have to get a new computer at some stage. There is always something, though my desktop is almost 10 years old, so it is almost time for a new one.March 2, 2014
May I suggest MacBook Pro? I switched to apple in 2009 and never looked back! I have a 15″ retina Macbook and love it!March 2, 2014
The words spoken to me about Mac or Apple were, "if you get one I will never help you work out what to do if something goes wrong, you will be on your own", not the words I was expecting, I half expected to be told "if you get one, it will be divorce." Get the idea, my husband hates apple, and all of their products. I do like to joke around with him, and even looked up some Mac's the other day, but he didn't like the price and wasn't too amused. 😉 or should it be 😦March 2, 2014
lol….well my hubby was a CIO for his entire career and was a Dell proponent. Apple's customer service is awesome! I'm in love with their computers personally but I know how it goes being in the company of someone who hates apple. I am on the "Down Lo", lol.March 2, 2014
My husband likes Dell too, and moved away from them, but is going back to them now. I think my husband thinks that apple is good, well their computers but they are way over priced, and you can get cheaper and just as good. That is what I get from what he says. I don't know. I know when I need help what he can be like, and I have seen what he is like with windows, he hates windows and if I have a problem he can be difficult.March 2, 2014
hahahaha i'm cracking up because I totally know what you mean. When my hubby came home from work and saw my shiny apple logo on the computer he said, "Well you won't get any help from me." I said, "Guess what, I won't need your help!" And it is so true. I've never needed help. 😀March 2, 2014
Brilliant Laura, I just don't have any money to get anything right now, but hopefully I will soon. Though not sure about a Mac, I do want lots of memory though.March 2, 2014
Reblogged this on dunjav.March 2, 2014
Very nice post! I like the architecture in your photos and the B&W makes it even more impressive! =)March 2, 2014
Thank you Justine, the B&W really gives the images a different feel.March 2, 2014
These are beautiful!March 3, 2014
Thank you.March 3, 2014
The clocks at Flinders Street Station, the city street with bicycles. Loved.March 3, 2014
Thank you Elen, that station is so photogenic.March 3, 2014
I've grown quite fond of shooting in black and white when I'm in Brisbane CBD, actually. I find that it gives the photos a sort of character that's just that little bit stronger than when shooting in full colour. It's also refreshing trying to think and frame in monochrome.March 3, 2014
There are a lot of people who feel the same way about B&W, I don't know myself, I like it sometimes, and others not. It really just depends. Though it is interesting taking photos that you know will be converted to black and white.March 3, 2014
That is very true, you do.March 3, 2014
Nice B&W photos. It's great to see someone that takes B&W. That is the only film that I shot for a couple of years when I first started.March 4, 2014
I don't do a lot of B&W but I have to admit I have been drawn to it a lot more. When I first started photography I only shot with B&W film, but I like the wider choices these day. Thank you MH.March 4, 2014

Thus far we have seen some strong starts around the area and the large school titans of Section Two through two weeks look to be the Crusaders from Catholic Central, the Shaker Blue Bison and the Dutchmen from Guilderland with teams like CBA, Albany,Bethlehem, Shenendehowa and Columbia among the leaders.
Let' start with Catholic Central. Chuck Mack's team is younger than most of the other top teams in the section but they aren't playing like it. Super-Soph Anthony Mack is one of the most dynamic prospects to come out of this area in recent history with his combination of ballhandling, fundamentals and strength. He has taken the time to work on his game and he has a high ceiling that could very well land him on a Division 1 roster if he continues developing his musculature and his game. The boys in purple are no one-trick pony however as speedy slasher Brian Brooks pushes the tempo for their high-octane system. Raquis Harris and Jiriem Tedders, the latter the QB on the football team and a great athlete in his own right, compliment the leaders well. Their biggest competition for the league title will be the Horses from Troy, but we will save them for the Class A portion. The other top squads are the senior-laden Brothers from CBA who have a strong lead guard in Nick Marini, the feisty Daniel Owens and his outside shooting as well as twin towers Greig Stire and Brian Renaud inside. With that kind of lineup and the coaching of the legendary Dave Doemel (7 titles in the past 10 years), the Brothers are down after the Troy loss but definitely not out. Hats off also to Albany High and their resurgence under the leadership of Sean Brown. He is a man who deserves this opportunity and if you are looking for a reason to jump back on the Falcons bandwagon, trust me he will bring a level of integrity to the program and they will compete night in and night out under his tutelage.
The Suburban Council is about to get very interesting as some early season battles are about to take shape in the coming week. First, Shaker may not have to wait much longer to burst onto the scene as they get a formidable test next Thursday night when they host the Dutchmen from Guilderland. The Bison are clearly led by Malik Dare and his girth inside but the complimentary scoring and shooting of Andrew Holmes, Seamus McHugh and Will Francis has been a pleasant inside-out combo for Coach Jeff Holmes who has his team shooting a solid 71% on team free throws. They will definitely have to be connecting from the perimeter against Guilderland who does not have the inside bull that Holmes has in Dare but who has a bevy of kids who can all score led by the steady Matt Cerutti who is finally recovered from injury. Cerutti and Dare should be a great matchup, especially if the teams go man-to-man and get a chance to battle but the key to this game, if the two cancel each other out, will be guys like Platek, DeMoulin and Simeone for the Dutch who look to have a bit more depth than the Bison. That one looks to be fun and should indicate who this year's Suburban favorite looks to be. One side not on this game is that it will be the only time these two teams from opposite divisions meet this season, so this battle will be for two very important crossover points in the Suburban standings.
Shenendehowa has quietly rebounded after the loss to Academy and Coach Dzikas likes this group a lot and they have better days ahead. Similar to our opening loss to Shen in girls basketball, sometimes an opening loss can indicate your flaws and get the kids back focused. You know that the team has a renewed sense of purpose and will be in it to win it when it matters. Another squad that has seen some early ups and downs but who is right there among the leaders is Columbia. Together with Bethlehem, these two Suburban South squads should contend with the leaders all season and must look to stay within striking distance of Guilderland so they can make a move down the stretch. Columbia has one of the top players in the area in Jahlil Nails and an underrated guard in Justin Luther who plays like a seasoned vet for a sophomore. Bethlehem also boasts one of the top players in the area in John Sica, the pogo stick with the smooth shot, who brings matchup problems every night he plays. Look for this team to make noise in the sectionals this season as I see a balance of power shift happening in the sectionals this time potentially vaulting 2 or 3 Suburban squads into the Final 4.
The final squad of major note in Class AA is Green Tech. Thus far this team has only played one game and it was against an out-of-area opponent so we cannot say too much about them yet. What we do know is that they have easily the most talented roster from top to bottom in the area with 7-8 top players led by the top senior player in the area in Jamil Hood, Jr. JHJ is the real deal and when people stop me and ask who they need to go see to spend their entertainment dollars, the convo always starts with the flashy PG with the million dollar smile. I'm a huge fan of this kid. Not just his game, but he as a person. The kid is hungry but humble and that is a very rare combination these days amongst the superstar athlete. Hood is mentored by the great Lloyd "Poohman" Johnson who has become one of the best players in upstate, NY in his career as a post-grad. Poohman is very focused on the small details of his students' games and you can see that he is a valuable addition to head coach Jamil Hood, Sr.'s staff. JHJ is surrounded by size, speed and strength as the Eagles have massive 6'7" big man Ramion Burt inside and athletic wings like Jizziah Carr, Najee Ward, Anquan McLean, David Clark and Isiah Dobere running the lanes and finishing for this strong unit.
The Troy High Flying Horses are my early favorites in the Big 10 and if the rumor that they will play in Class A this season is true, then this team could be in for a wild ride yet again in 2014. The reason why I think this may make things even more interesting is, and pardon and meaning no disrespect to the Class AA leaders, but two of the best 3-4 other top teams in the area this year are in Class A: Scotia and Albany Academy.
Troy has one of the strongest players in the area in Dyaire Holt and he has spent countless hours in the gym working on individual improvement with mentors like Talor Battle and coach Rich Hurley. Holt brings a veteran toughness to the court for a sophomore and his improved skill set is noticeable to those who have watched him play this year. Together with Zach Radz, a steady shooter who plays with high basketball IQ, they form one of the top backcourts in the area and should help make this team plenty dangerous in February and March.
One of their biggest challenges is going to be the Scotia Tartans, who have another great team of kids who play incredibly hard and together. Junior Joe Cremo leads the team in scoring and has a Patriot League D1 game already and has another 40-45 games to keep honing it during his career. His upside is scary and he should have a couple more Foothills MVP's and league crowns in his pocket by the time he leaves. Cremo is definitely not the only scoring option, however, as The points come from all over the floor as the Tartans run well but most importantly they run extremely smart. Kids like Alex Sausville and Dom LeMorta run the wings well and Scott Stopera is a very good passer and an underrated shooter. The force that powers this team, is the dedication of a great feeder program and the leadership of Coach Jimmer Giammattei. He puts in a lot of work with the kids and it shows year in and year out in the sectionals.
Academy opened with a couple nice wins over Shen and OFA, but they were taken down yesterday by Guilderland on the road. Coach Brian Fruscio gave props to the Dutch via Social Media shouting out coach Ron Osinski as "Hall of Fame" and the play of kids like Vince Simeone, Matt Cerutti and Andrew Platek. Although this loss will sting for the Cadets, Coach Fruscio knows it is tests like these that get you better for March when his run to the Federation will begin again. Matt Knezovic had a monster game for AA with 28 points but the tandem of Ray Jerome and John Motopolous were held in check while their big man Marcus Jackson managed just 4 points. Without having been there it is hard to comment, but it looks like defense played a factor in this one. The Cadets will be back and their upcoming game on January 26th with Green Tech should be a big one for Albany bragging rights and to propel them towards their Federation push!

This section outlines the types of statements that apply to assembly language. Each statement must be one of the following types:
An empty statement is one that contains nothing other than spaces, tabs, or formfeed characters.
Empty statements have no meaning to the assembler. They can be inserted freely to improve the appearance of a source file or of a listing generated from it.
An assignment statement is one that gives a value to a symbol. It consists of a symbol, followed by an equal sign (=), followed by an expression.
The expression is evaluated and the result is assigned to the symbol. Assignment statements do not generate any code. They are used only to assign assembly time values to symbols.
A pseudo operation statement is a directive to the assembler that does not necessarily generate any code. It consists of a pseudo operation code, optionally followed by operands. Every pseudo operation code begins with a period (.).
A machine operation statement is a mnemonic representation of an executable machine language instruction to which it is translated by the assembler. It consists of an operation code, optionally followed by operands.
Furthermore, any statement remains a statement even if it is modified in either or both of the following ways:
Prefixing a label at the beginning of the statement.
A label consists of a symbol followed by a colon (:). When the assembler encounters a label, it assigns the value of the location counter to the label.
Appending a comment at the end of the statement by preceding the comment with a slash (/).
The assembler ignores all characters following a slash up to the next occurrence of newline. This facility allows insertion of internal program documentation into the source file for a program.

1. Was the Genesis Flood global in extent or just local? Genesis chapters six to eight give a detailed account of a devastating flood brought about by God as a judgment upon Man. Genesis 7:18-24 leaves no doubt that this Flood was global: all the highest hills were covered, all the creatures on the dry land died and only Noah and his family and representatives of all animal life survived the ordeal. Upon leaving the Ark, 376 days later, God gave Noah a covenant promise to never again destroy the earth by a flood (Gen. 9:11).

1. Throughout history there have always been those who believe that life began on earth by supernatural creation and others who prefer to stick with the naturalistic explanation that life began spontaneously by chance events from non-living matter. The first view, the biblical view, is called biogenesis meaning that life can only come from pre-existing life.
The December 1, 1986, issue of Time magazine (128:75) reported the case of prodigy Stephen Baccus who, at 17, had just become the youngest known person ever to be sworn in as a lawyer in the United States. He graduated from high school at 12 and from university at 14. Such cases are uncommon and tend to catch the attention of the popular media.

To discuss this topic meaningfully, we necessarily must think in terms of a recent creation. If we are thinking in terms of five billion years of earth's history, about one or two billion years of life's history, and about one or two million years of human history, the study of the world before the flood would be more or less without meaning. One would then have to think in terms of a local flood, and the world before such a flood would be no different from the world after the flood.
By Henry M. Morris, Ph.D., Professor of Hydraulic Engineering at Virginia Polytechnic Institute, Blacksburg, Virginia and Chairman of Creation Research Society. This talk was delivered at the Creation Seminar, Springfield, Illinois on July 8, 1968.
It's no surprise that the history taught in our schools is a rather dull subject. Virtually all events in history, particularly European history, were motivated by religious causes: Muslims massacred Christians, Catholics slaughtered Protestants, Protestants killed Catholics, and all parties persecuted Jews. In the 1800s schools were run by religious authorities, and children attended the school of their parents' faith.

1. It is a wonderous thing for us human beings to have the Word of God, that very same powerful Word which formed the stars in space out of nothing and charged them with their incredible energy, among us for our use in the form of the Bible. Hebrews 11:3 gives us some sense of this power of the Word of God. The world in which we live is very real and it contains some incredible forces. Yet it, along with the stars, are all a result of God's directive use of that powerful Word.
In our time many people believe that the creation account is a myth and they deny what the Bible says regarding the flood of Noah. No wisdom of man or scientific knowledge can solve the mystery of creation; only God can tell us in His book, the Bible.
To understand the tragedy of the Flood, we must answer the question, "Are the masses of water now on earth in the same places as when God created the earth?" Land masses now comprise only 21 percent to 22 percent of the earth's surface while the remaining 78 or 79 percent is water. According to the Bible it has not always been so.

The discovery of the colored peoples by the Caucasian Christian West in the 16th century caused some to doubt that the Genesis Flood had been universal since the only family on the Ark were surely Caucasion! Later, at the time of the Industrial Revolution and during the search for coal and minerals, it was realized that rocks appeared in layers or stratum, each of different composition from those layers above and below.
1. Historically, the western mind has, until the beginning of the nineteenth century, considered the earth to be only a few thousand years old and this was based upon the Biblical account and the ensuing genealogies given into historical times. Following European and Elizabethan exploration, questions of race were raised and doubts cast upon the universality of the Genesis Flood.

rule of thumb for casual nights
Most lines require pair of slacks(either black, navy, or khaki) and button up shirt for the casual nights, sometimes a tie is required. For the informal nights just add a sport coat and tie. Formal nights vary by line but can vary from a black or navy suit to black tie(tux and appropriate black tie type accessories, look it up and memorize black tie ettiquette...........will serve you well). I get that there are athletic guys out there who don't like to get dressed up, but lay it out for him as a chance to shine as if he were in a hot manhattan or los angeles 4 star resteraunt. Really all the dress codes are about are atmospher and the practicality of making sure nobody dresses inappropriately to dine. Btw, just to mention, the only places he should be wearing white is as a shirt, a pocket square, or as a white/ivory dinner jacket(though definitely not required on Royal Caribbean) this time of the year. These are just basic rules to go by.
