Logan Schafer back in tough role with Brewers
Cincinnati — Logan Schafer faced some travel challenges trying to meet the Milwaukee Brewers in Cincinnati on Friday night, but he certainly wasn't complaining about it afterward.
"It's nice to be back," said Schafer, who was recalled from Class AAA Nashville earlier Friday, made it in time and went 0 for 3 Saturday after starting in left field.
"It's really nice to be back."
Truth be told, Schafer never expected to have been sent to Nashville on June 13. The move came as a result of Schafer's struggles at the plate — he hit .190 with six runs batted in over 37 games — in a reserve role as well as the Brewers' need to add some depth in the middle infield.
So up came Irving Falu, who's since moved on to the San Diego Padres, and down went Schafer. He played 124 games in Nashville in 2012 before sticking with the Brewers from September of that year through him being optioned back there last month.
"At first I was a little shocked when I got sent down," he admitted. "But then you look at it and you see the numbers....I didn't really pay attention to my numbers because when you're on the bench you can't really look at them, because you're not getting at-bats every day.
"I was a little confused at first, but they let me know, 'Look, we just want you to get some at-bats. Just go down there and try to get your rhythm and your swing back, play some good center field.'"
Schafer still wasn't 100% recovered from a right-hamstring strain when he went to Nashville, and he struggled initially. He bounced back to hit .235 with six RBI in 18 games, and when Khris Davis went down with a left-shoulder strain on Tuesday in Toronto, the wheels for his return were set in motion.
With Jeff Bianchi — like Schafer, a one-time bench mainstay who was sent out to Nashville earlier in the season after struggling offensively — back and providing coverage at those middle infield spots, the Brewers optioned out utility man Elian Herrera and brought Schafer back.
His defensive skills are unquestioned; he provides tremendous coverage at all three outfield spots. But with Davis entrenched in left and Carlos Gomez and Ryan Braun everyday players in center and right, that leaves Schafer back in the difficult role of trying to produce as a pinch hitter while getting the occasional start.
"It's the hardest thing I've ever done, but it's fun because it's a challenge," he admitted. "It's not like you get an at-bat and, 'OK, you'll get 'em tomorrow.' It's not like that when you're on the bench. The thing you have to understand is you will get more at-bats. It's not about results off the bench as much as it is process. You go up there and get a good pitch to hit, and hit it hard."
Schafer has been solid as a pinch hitter. In 2012, he went 4 for 8 with four RBI and last season he hit .256 (10 for 39) with a home run and five RBI. Manager Ron Roenicke played a similar role to Schafer in his eight-year career in the major leagues, giving him a very good feel for what's needed to succeed off the bench.
"The guys that do well as pinch hitters usually have great swings, a simple swing, and they've always just been pure hitters," Roenicke said. "It's such a hard role; it's hard to say who's going to be good at it.
"You certainly can get better at it. Look at (Mark) Kotsay. Kotsay was always a pure hitter. He hit everywhere he was. He has a good head and understands what he needs to do, so that type of player's got the best chance to do that type of job."
With Davis back in the lineup Saturday, Schafer was already back in his bench role eager to contribute in any way possible.
"These are some important games," he said. "I'm excited to be here, and hopefully I'll help these guys win some of them."
Schafer unexpectedly found himself in the game in the second inning of Saturday's 1-0 victory when Ryan Braun went out with back spasms. He went 0 for 3 to fall to .176 on the season.
Making moves: The Chicago Cubs continued their role as sellers, trading starters Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel to the Oakland A's on Friday night for top prospects Addison Russell and Billy McKinney, pitcher Dan Straily and a player to be named later.
The move continues the Cubs' trend of selling off their established major-leaguers for big-time prospects. The Brewers are helped by the fact they will no longer have to face Samardzija or Hammel, with the teams scheduled to face each other 10 more times the rest of the way.
While Samardzija is the bigger name, Hammel was especially hard on Milwaukee hitters. He went 2-0 without allowing a run in two starts (14 innings) against them earlier this season.
"I was thinking, 'We don't have to face Samardzija anymore.' Hammel's tough," Roenicke said. "You look at it and you think the A's are that good and all of a sudden they add those two guys? That's pretty nice."

Reid: "Cooperate, or Else!!"
Majority Leader Harry Reid (Nev.), Majority Whip Dick Durbin (Ill.) and Democratic Conference Vice Chairman Charles Schumer (N.Y.) pledged in a conference call with reporters Wednesday to work with the Republicans but also emphasized the GOP's responsibility to not block legislation.
Reid, especially, renewed a threat he made before, that Republicans must stop obstructing and start cooperating.
Can't wait for the House ethics investigations. For that matter, somebody ought to re-start HUAC.
I can think of at least three targets for that committee.

Again with the Republicans MUST cooperate. No, Democrats MUST cooperate. Did they not get a message from the election yesterday? Not a clue? Dude...we don't like your policies. Even a little. Cooperate with Republicans on tax cuts and smaller government and you MIGHT get to keep your job. Yes, Harry, you snuck by this time. Not next.
"Can't wait for the House ethics investigations. For that matter, somebody ought to re-start HUAC.
I see you are on your smear kick again. Pathetic. Apparently you forgot how reputations were needlessly ruined by power hungry politicians through trumped up charges? Guess not.
"I can think of at least three targets for that committee."
Rove, Rumsfeld, and a player to be named later. - 11/04/2010 7:39 AM
LOL @ anonymous. I see Democrats are still angry that their hero Alger Hiss went down in flames thanks to HUAC.
Yes, restart HUAC, even if just to annoy the liberals. Hey, didn't Nancy P and Joe B say that Republicans who didn't bow to her weren't patriotic?
Maybe it's time to play the same game as the Democrats. - 11/04/2010 7:44 AM

Sen. Reid must not have read all those 2008 emails from the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee about 60 seats as a means to one party rule.
- Dad29 said...
Apparently you forgot how reputations were needlessly ruined by power hungry politicians through trumped up charges?
Got some examples, Anony? Or are you just foaming at the mouth again? - 11/04/2010 9:29 AM
For starters, refer to the 1954 Senate Army Hearings.
You are embarassing yourself, Dad29. You tout protecting the Constitution, yet are willing to defend Joseph McCarthy's "patriotism" when he used the FBI, CIA, and the IRS to illegally obtain personal information about suspected communists. A REAL Christian would step up and denounce such heinous acts.
"Our weakness grows when we become intolerant of opposing ideas, depart from our standards of civil liberties, and borrow the policeman's philosophy from [Stalin who] we detest"--Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas
2nd Anony--Maybe it's time to play the same game as the Democrats.
What, are we four years old? - 11/04/2010 11:42 AM
- Dad29 said...
refer to the 1954 Senate Army Hearings.
An "embarrassment", eh?
You do know that SENATOR Joe McCarthy was not a member of the HOUSE, right?
Figured you didn't, which is why I asked, said the spider to the fly. - 11/04/2010 11:51 AM
- Dad29 said...
And by the way:
McCarthy was absolutely correct on EVERY allegation.
Reading might be hard for you, but try Stanton Evans' work on the topic.
Or try the Venona Papers (I'd suggest the translated version.) - 11/04/2010 12:43 PM
- Dad29 said...
Well, anony-deleted, that sort of comment makes you easy to identify by orientation.
"You do know that SENATOR Joe McCarthy was not a member of the HOUSE, right?"
No crap, Sherlock. The point is that McCarthy and others violated the Constitution in their quest to hunt communists. Ruined lives in the form of collateral damage? That's not what you say when your precious Roman Catholic Church is vilified. You go nuts when that institution is "unfairly" attacked through demagogic and unsubstantiated accusations.
Stanton Evan's work? Look at his particular bias. Of course he is going to defend McCarthy's actions.
He is a defense attorney who concedes nothing to McCarthy's detractors. He is also prone to conspiracy thinking—an approach that, by its nature, yields claims that can neither be confirmed nor falsified. Historians are not afforded that luxury. - 11/04/2010 4:46 PM
- Dad29 said...
He is a defense attorney who concedes nothing to McCarthy's detractors.
So? The questions are of fact, not of bias.
The point is that McCarthy and others violated the Constitution in their quest to hunt communists.
You have a cite? Or is that the opinion of some biased anony commenter? - 11/04/2010 5:32 PM
Do you have proof to the contrary? Or are you clinging on to an "icon" no matter what the evidence offers to his activities which clearly violates several amendments to the Constitution?

There never was a HUAC-That was a liberal invention. However, there was a House Committee on Unamerican Activities. Big difference.
Marine42 - 11/04/2010 10:15 PM
William--I don't even know where to begin with your stupidity. :)
Using its power to subpoena witnesses and hold people in contempt of Congress, "HUAC", I mean the House Committee on UnAmerican Activities, repeatedly pressured witnesses to surrender names and other information that could lead to the apprehension of communists and communist sympathizers.
Committee members often branded witnesses as "red" if they refused to comply or hesitated in answering committee questions. How "patriotic".
Following Senator McCarthy's censure, however, and his subsequent departure from the Senate, the general public grew increasingly wary of the "redbaiting" techniques employed by that and other committees. - 11/04/2010 10:21 PM
- Deekaman said...
And do you have the same disdain for those business leaders called "before the committee" by Waxman last year for having committed the sin of claiming Obamacare would raise their costs?
I didn't think so, since businesses just exploit the workers. Right? - 11/04/2010 10:24 PM
- Dad29 said...
William--I don't even know where to begin with your stupidity.
Gee. Wiki lists it both ways. I guess you're so f*&^n erudite that you don't use plebeian sources, eh?
ACS is strictly down the middle. No bias there./sarcasm The ACS article talks about HUAC--which was run by Democrat politicians for most of its existence, including a (D) Klansman. It does NOT talk about McCarthy.
And by the way, there are no mentions of specific "Un-Constitutional" actions by McCarthy there, or in Margaret Chase Smith's extended whine. - 11/05/2010 6:16 AM
Deekaman--Your "comparing" the Waxman hearings with McCarthy's hearing? Wow!
Dad29--"The ACS article talks about HUAC...It does NOT talk about McCarthy."
It is a BOOK review outlining the methods HUAC and McCarthy directly employed to attack the civil liberties of Americans. No biased interpretation by ACS, just straight up facts and details. McCarthy's actions are clearly detailed in that resource.
Chase was clearly referring to McCarthy's behaviors.
Typical of you to dodge the issue by focusing on perhaps the "weakest
" of the sources provided. - 11/05/2010 7:59 AM
Dad29--"I guess you're so f*&^n erudite..."
Does God approve of such foul language? Oh, that's right, you go to church and will be forgiven. My bad. - 11/05/2010 8:00 AM

After the Yankees came back from 5 runs down to beat the Rangers I blogged that the series was pretty much over and that the Rangers were done. It was such a devastating way to lose that I was sure that the Yankees were going to walk all over them. I was wrong. Today's Rangers victory pretty much wiped all of that out. The momentum has definitely shifted. The Rangers are very much alive. The Yankees have a fight on their hands.
I was also dead wrong about how I viewed the pitching matchups. CC Sabathia and Phil Hughes have both looked terrible. I thought the Yankees had the distinct advantage in this series when it came to the pitching matchups. So far, not so much. I'm hoping that the trend of me being wrong continues for at least one more game. I blogged that the Rangers had the advantage in game 3 with Cliff Lee starting. Maybe the Yankees will put a hurting on him. Fingers crossed.
All things considered I'm pretty happy that the Yankees are leaving Texas with a split. Leaving up 2-0 would have been ideal but winning one on the road is still big. You can't win the series if you don't win on the road. The Yankees have done that. The Rangers haven't. Advantage Yankees. The boys could also very easily be down 2 games to none. I'll happily take 1-1. Even if the Yankees lose in game 3 I'm still feeling confident they'll put this one out. Hopefully I'm right on that one.
A lot of wasted opportunities today. There's a lot of room for improvement across the board. They've got a day to figure it out. I'm really looking forward to game 3. I'd love for the Yankees to sweep these next 3. It would mean that they'd be back in the World Series and it would mean no more frigging antlers. Yeah, I'm sorry. That's pretty dumb. Real teams don't need gimmicks and real fans don't need props to support their team. Last year it was the thundersticks, this year it's the towels. Very lame. Use your hands and your mouths like real fans.
Peace, love and Pinstripes,

Full name Kesha Rose Sebert, she is another manufactured pop star who got famous because of the Internet, and who peddles disposable dance pop with the depth of a meniscus and auto-tune up the wazoo.
That's all you really need to know, to be honest.
Known also by detractors as "K E dollar sign H A" or "Ke-SHA!" (the latter of which sounds deliberately like a cash register), Ke$ha is definitive proof that the ancient dark art of creating and marketing a teen pop slut is alive and well. She first appeared in 2009 with an illiterately titled song called "TiK ToK" which is about, erm, getting pissed out one's skull and waking up in the bath before going out again to get pissed out one's mind while dressed as a tramp who's come off worst in a fight with a lorryload of sequins. This was then followed by other delightful ditties such as "Animal" which is about picking up men in a club following Dutch courage (are we seeing a pattern here?) and "We R Who We R" which is about, erm, going oot on the tap in a state of dishevelment. The latter of these was retconned to actually be dedicated to the spate of gay suicides in 2010 but I rather suspect that that's just PR guff by her record label to make money by capitalising on peoples' emotions. Because pretending to care = BIG ZLOTYS but that's a different node.
Ke$ha annoys me intensely. The stuff she comes out with is both original and good. However, the good bits are not original and the original bits are not good (apologies to Mark Twain for that). According to WickedPedia, she cites as influences "artists such as Madonna, Debbie Harry, Queen, Johnny Cash, Aaron Neville, Bob Dylan and Beastie Boys" for her material. However, this is, as is no doubt evident, proof that everything on WickedPedia is wrong. Madonna I can understand, what with the whole "Justify My Love" affair and tarting about in a hotel corridor, that's RIGHT up Ke$ha's alley, but Queen? Johnny Cash? Bob Dylan? Care to explain how this fits in? There's no guitars and stadiumage here. No tales about building a car with stolen parts. No, there's just vacuity and similar bollox and annoying bleepy synths that make you want to stab kittens.
Lyrics? Like I said, cockwaving about how "hot and dangerous" she is and similar bollox.
At this point you may be wondering whether Ke$ha can actually sing. The answer to this is, I don't know. Like I said, she's autotuned up the wazoo. Besides, even if she could, why bother when you can just talk in that fucking horrific Californian accent of hers over some miscellaneous computer generated bleeps that are probably about as difficult to write as wiping your bum. Let Auto-tune do the rest.
Naturally, to sell this mediocre rusty water, a gimmick is required. Hers is dressing like the aforementioned tramp that came off worst in a fight with a lorryload of glitter. Oh purlease. Heroin chic is so 1992. Except it's RECYCLED WITH GLITTER! OH NOES! Spare me. The pain. The pain. aaaa.
(That bit was written while listening to a song of hers called "Take It Off" for research purposes.)
I would go on about what sort of message this is all sending, but that's a whole other node and one that would make me sound like a Daily Mail reader, no less. Suffice it to say that had I kids, I'd be alarmed at them conceiving that this sort of dissolute, shallow nonsense which pushes as worthy of note being a vapid slattern for its own sake.
Right, I can't take any more. If you want to know any more about this dire excuse for an artiste, go and listen for yourself. I can't be arsed any more, because her stuff completely fails to excite me in any way other than contemptuous sneering.
And yes, I am just jealous. Because despite having vomited more tunefully than anything Ke$ha has ever done, I am not a platinum selling record artist. Now I'm off to go and listen to a song called "Start up the Incinerator, Here Comes Another Useless Fool."

While in Stockton, Clay brokered a deal with the Mexicans: the club is now muling pure, uncut cocaine for Danny Trejo. Remember that SAMCRO historically shuns the drug trade — and indeed, one of the tenets of their pact with Unser was that they'd keep drugs out of Charming. Now, however, Clay's getting very nervous about the inevitable day when he has to step down, and he sees this deal as his nest egg. Although Jax initially protests, he soon makes his own bargain with Clay, promising he'll maneuver the club into approving the new line of work so long as Clay lets him walk away from SAMCRO without repercussions.
The SAMCRO boys are bitterly divided on the issue: Piney and Bobby Elvis are adamantly opposed; Juice and Opie are opposed only because they don't care for the risk; Tig wants what Clay wants. Their division closes over temporarily when the contretemps of the week break out. This time, it's Opie and Jax in peril after the Russians ambush them at the Wahewa's bullet shop. Danny Trejo's cartel shows up to kill everyone. As any cartel headed by Danny Trejo would. The club still has to vote, but I'm guessing Opie is now pro-cartel.
The local law enforcement is none too happy about all those dead Russians, but their displeasure with the man Potter has dubbed "Mayor McCheese" runs a pretty close second. Although many of the suits have cleared out, Potter and Roosevelt quickly figure out that SAMCRO didn't kill the Russians merely for revenge, and begin speculating on what "bigger play" the club's about to make. Roosevelt decides to rattle the SAMCRO cage, which he does by finding a boatload of fire code violations and taking an ax to their wall of mugshots. He also buries the hatchet in the table at church. "You pushed me to this," Roosevelt tells Clay. "I strongly suggest you don't do it again."

More on those Democratic Defectors
The New York Times has a nice story today that, among other things, gives some nice historical context to the question of party defectors. The story also refers to some of the data that I presented last week on this blog. Definitely worth a read.

G'day mate
May I start by saying that I am surprised at your question Leica cameras are not aimed at the sort of buyer who goes to the corner-store: they are very expensive and therefore purchasers are people who really know what they're after ~ and can afford it As to why you would want a camera with a zoom but no moving parts is a mystery and a contradiction ... for an optical zoom to operate it must have electro motors which must also move lens elements to & fro > thus moving parts. I would invite you to examine the DP Review site for Leica cameras - and maybe Panasonic cameras as they & Leica are working together combining camera bodies & zoom lenses Phil

Physics can be a challenging course for anyone because it combines science with math and introduces potentially difficult concepts. One basic concept is the concept of speed and how it changes. Calculating the speed of an object can be a simple process if a few basic rules are kept in mind. Learn how to solve problems where you need to find the resultant velocity.
Step 1
Find the acceleration of the object, the time the object is being accelerated and the initial velocity. These values are usually given to you in the problem. If the force is given, find the acceleration by dividing the force on the object by its mass.
Step 2
Convert all units to standard units. Acceleration should be in meters per second squared. Velocity should be in meters per second, and time should be in seconds.
Step 3
Multiply the acceleration by the time the object is being accelerated. For example, if an object falls for 3 seconds, multiply 3 by 9.8 meters per second squared, which is the acceleration from gravity. The resultant velocity in this case is 29.4 meters per second.
Step 4
Add this velocity to the initial velocity. In the example above, if the object had an initial velocity of 5 meters per second, the resultant velocity would be 34.4 meters per second. The overall formula here is v (final) - at + v (initial) where "v" is velocity, "a" is acceleration and "t" is time. In this example the equation would look like this: v (final) = 9.8 x 3 + 5, giving us a result of 34.4.
After Impact
Step 1
Identify the initial velocity of the two objects, the mass of both objects and the final speed of either object if it is given. These values are usually given in the problem.
Step 2
Convert all velocities to meters per second and all masses to kilograms.
Step 3
Multiply the initial velocity of each object by its mass. Add these two products together to get the total momentum. For example, if both objects have a mass of 5 kilograms, one is at rest and the other is moving at 10 meters per second. The calculation would look like this: 5 x 10 + 5 x 0. This would give us a result of 50 kilogram-meters per second.
Step 4
Divide the total momentum by the sum of the masses if the two objects stick together after impact. This will give you the resultant velocity of the two objects. In the example above, we would take 50 and divide by the sum of the masses, which is 10, getting a result of 5 meters per second. If the objects do not stick together, subtract the product of the mass and the final velocity of one object from the total initial momentum. Then, divide the difference by the mass of the other object. This will give you the resultant velocity of the other object. In the example from the previous step, if the final velocity of the object originally moving at 10 meters per second was 2 meters per second, our calculation would look like this: (50 - 10) / 5, which gives us a result of 8 meters per second.
- Make sure all the units are in standard form before doing any calculations.
- Write down all the information you need before starting your calculations.
- Draw a picture of the problem to help you understand what is going on.

Chris and I are on our second Southwest flight and we should be in Salt Lake City in an hour. Cool air. Whoop. I've been awarded free drinks on this flight for giving up my bulkhead seat to a paralyzed man in a wheel chair. I don't ever sit at the bulkhead because you can't store your bag under the seat. (Those overhead storage bins might as well be the cupboards over the refrigerator. Bring me a chair.) But when you're traveling with a 6'8 friend, you sit anywhere there's a bit more leg room. I hadn't had time to buckle my middle seat belt before the lady in the window seat started quizzing me about my boot.
"Ooooh! I hope that's nothing serious. How did it happen?!?– I mean, if it's okay for me to ask."
I should have told her I didn't want to talk about it and buried my face in my hands. Instead, my "I'm a runner. Broke it running." was enough to launch her into a tubercular monologue that ended with an account of her praying tearfully over her air conditioner with the air conditioning repair man."
"I don't know what (Cough-Hack) your religious beliefs are… or if you even have any,… (Cough-cough-hack) or what you think about praying for air conditioners…(Hack- cough)." She was cut off by the flight attendant asking one of us to give up our seat and move to a middle seat further back in the plane. She didn't say why. She just said it was necessary. The faces of the five other folks at the bulkhead showed horror. It was fun to watch. (Chris, 6'8 with a pulled back muscle, had good cause for the expression. The others were lousy bulkhead hogs.) I was thankful for the chance to put some distance between me and Tubercular Talking Lady. "Oh, sure. No Problem!" The attendant was thanking me profusely and promising free alcohol when the paralyzed man was wheeled into view. I missed the expression on the four Bulkhead Hogs' faces as I clumped away in my boot. (Easy to be smug and gracious when you're 5 feet tall on a plane.)
Sadly it's not quite noon and I don't really feel like drinking.
9 1/2 hours in the backseat of Brian's car after this. (Brian's 6'5.)
I'll update with stories of adventure and drama if we find any today.)
Update: this is the text I got from Chris when we landed:
I got stuck in middle and its nonstop! I know her whole medical history! You are dead to me.

This review is from: Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900V 16GB Unlocked Cell Phone (Black)
Pros: This phone came to me in factory packaging. It could have been a new phone - the only thing that gave it away was a tiny nick on the chrome frame near the earbud jack. No other scratches anywhere. I transferred the contents of my S4 and then pulled the SIM card and moved it to this phone. Seamless switchover.
Cons: I should have bought more than one!
Other Thoughts: I am always wary of used electronics and look at seller ratings when deciding to buy. There were some complaints of dead phones and long delivery times, but mine came in 2 days and I had it on and operational on the 3rd day.

Pros: It fit the PCI-E slot
Cons: Card is recognized, but the setup process involves running an .exe program on the supplied CD to get the drivers. That takes a while. Then, the computer sees the card as active and no problems but as soon as you plug something into it (even a Thumb Drive), you get a "Device overload" error message. Nothing that I plugged into it worked.
Other Thoughts: It was cheap, so I didn't lose much money. Deciding on whether to return it or not.

2008 Ecampus Graduates
Jennifer Deason - Huge Achievement
B.S. Liberal Studies
Redmond, OR
What does completing your degree mean to you? How do you feel it will improve your life and career?
Completing my degree is a huge achievement and one of the biggest goals I have had since I was 13. No one in my family has ever gone to college, so it means a lot to show them that it can be done if you work hard enough and set your mind to it.
Why did you choose to complete your degree online through OSU Extended Campus? What did you like about this method of education?
I chose to complete my degree online because I needed to work full time and the online program made this possible. I really enjoyed the fact that I did not have to drive up to the Cascades Campus in Bend in the snow - I could just get online when I had time. It was never an inconvenience.
Did you have an instructor or advisor who was influential in helping you succeed as a distance student?
Yes, my advisor Louis Bottaro was very influential in helping me succeed as a distance student. He was almost always available and if he wasn't, he got back to me right away. He updated me on where I stood academically just about every term, which was very helpful. Since I am an online student, I needed someone to help me understand the requirements in order to graduate in a timely manner.
Back to Graduation 2008.

Search local bars using our interactive Chicago neighborhood map
Kerryman Bar & Restaurant 661 N. Clark St. (700N, 200W) Chicago, IL 60610 (312) 335-8121
"The original navigator 523 AD"
$2 Bud Light bottles $2 Miller Lite Bottles $3 Sam Adam drafts $3 So-co Lime shots $4 O & Jager bombs $4 Smirnoff cocktails
Kerryman is located on the corner of Clark and Erie in heart of the River North neighborhood. The refined exterior is painted dark brown with gold-lettered signage lit by hooded floodlights at night. A comfortable sidewalk café runs the length of the property along Erie, which is quieter than you might expect, unless there's a protest taking place in front of the nearby Chinese consulate.
You'll find Kerryman's entrance monitored by a doorman most evenings, so dispense with the formalities and enter into a lofted multi-level space. The smallish rectangular main bar area houses a dark granite-topped bar with mirrored window panes behind serving as an elegant backdrop. A row of high-backed booths runs along the south windows with some SRO space in between. Down a steep staircase located beyond the main bar, you'll find an ATM and the facilities for lads and lasses. The main bar gets incredibly packed on weekends, so those needing and escape and some much needed oxygen should take a look above, where a mezzanine catwalk sits beneath the exposed ducts running along the painted wood ceiling.
A pair of nifty staircases flanks the bar, with each step having a lit Kerryman logo cut intricately into the risers. Spanning both sides of the room, the narrow mezzanine level offers additional seating and a VIP view of the main barroom below. Beyond this section lies an additional room with a full bar of its own to handle the overflow traffic. The second bar often hosts DJs on Fridays and Saturdays, adding to the club-like vibe that overtakes the Kerryman at times.
Despite any thoughts to the contrary, the staff at Kerryman, many of whom were born in old Eire, know how to pour a pint of Guinness. If you can't wait for a proper two-minute pour, eleven additional taps, nearly all of high quality, await you. There are also 14 beers by the bottle a menu of "winter warmers" for those craving a hot toddy and, of course a full bar, though the whiskey selection seems a little thin. If the $6 pints aren't to your liking, Kerryman does offer a number of enticing specials on weekdays, such as $2 Stella and Blue Moon pints on Wednesdays.
Kerryman offers a fairly standard variety of high-end Irish-American pub fare ranging from salads and fish & chips to curry chicken and a "prawn martini." Having eaten here several times, my experience has been hit and miss, with some dishes being excellent and some a bit more ordinary. Either way, the $1 half pound burgers (with drink purchase) on Mondays are an excellent value any way you slice it.
Despite its modern interior looks, the site that houses Kerryman is rich with history. In the 1920s singing waiter turned mobster Dion O'Banion frequented the spot along with Capone rival Bugs Moran, when the bar was known as McGovern's. The Liberty Inn followed in the '50s and was for a time the largest strip in the city. In the late '70s, the bar was re-opened as O'Banion's, the original Chicago Punk Bar, which played host to a wealth of punk rock pioneers. For the full story on this historic site, please check out Chicago Bar Project founder Sean Parnell's excellent article.
The scene at Kerryman varies by the day and the hour. During weekday happy hour, you'll find everyone from young professionals to 70-something retirees reliving former Cubs pitcher Milt Pappas' 1972 no-hitter. On weekends, the crowd is overwhelmingly young, metrosexual and affluent. Many make the Kerryman their destination and you'll recognize them by their more casual attire. Others you'll find dressed to the nines as they pre-game here before heading over to the flavor-of-the-month River North nightclubs to wait in line to pay their $20 cover. Overall, Kerryman is less pretentious than the club scene and also less bush league than the Division street scene, making Kerryman a prime spot for seeking a snog (or a shag, for those more ambitious).
Kerryman's name originates from Irish monk, St. Brendan the Navigator, who according to legend voyaged to America in the 6th century, which if true would put Columbus to shame. Whether fact or fiction, Kerryman was opened by brothers Mick and Trevor O'Donohue natives of Castle Island, Kerry County Ireland, whose inspiration is to bring "modern Irish nightlife to the Chicago Bar scene." I've not yet had the pleasure of visiting the Emerald Isle, but if Kerryman is any indication of modern Irish nightlife, sign me up.
Kerryman is an attractive spot for those looking for a lovely pint of Guinness or for a lovely member of the opposite sex. If you like Kerryman, you might like Vaughn's, Celtic Crossings or Sully's Public House. For more information, check out the Kerryman website. Sláinte.

Slide 4 of 5
4. Evan Rachel Wood
Naturally, "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark" would have at least two people on this list. Evan Rachel Wood was booked to play the original Mary Jane Watson, but she too had to exit because of a "scheduling problem." Wood, who became an overnight celebrity after her performance in "Across the Universe," was supposedly never 100 percent on being a part of the production, having said numerous times that nothing was definite. Wood and Alan Cumming, both friends of then-director Julie Taymor, left within one month of each other. The role was taken over by Jennifer Damiano.

If you've been paying attention to the jailbreak scene lately, then you've heard the warnings about preparing for Apple's next counter move against jailbreakers. The question is this: have you heeded it?
It's imperative that you update to iOS 5.0.1 now and save your SHSH blobs across all devices, including the iPhone 4S and iPad 2. That way, you can always downgrade to iOS 5.0.1 later, which means you will always have access to an untethered jailbreak.
We'll show you how to create a firmware file for your A4 devices that can always be jailbroken. We'll also tell you what to do to preserve the jailbreakability of your A5 devices as well. If you haven't done this yet, now is the time to act… Read More

Oh, you really looked like you were suffering young man.
Morris t least if you stayed we had a chance but John and I were like babes in the woods with all these ladies and we are both such innocents. You have never seen LJ after a few belts in the morning. Let's not go there at this time of the evening.
That's OK, laura. It is well deserved. I should have taken more day.
You probably won't her the end of that for a long time, morris. This all could have been avoided....

I missed the flower show.. Glad you all had a blast!Wonderful pics as usual PG :) smiles
You got me there, pg! Doesn't make much sense, I ran to the Cold. It is a lovely 20 degrees F. I should have gone your way, my friend.
Awesome set for the album of Your Highness... Thanks so much for sharing..
What a wonderful set, glad you all had such a good time.
These are stunning, what a beautiful bouquet they would have made! (the sight of them could not have come at a better time, thanks!) ROTFL at your comment below . . . it ain't easy being in the minority at a Garden Show, kudos to you & John, young man :))))
This was a fun trip even with all the crazy jigidi people in the area. I think Ill is going to put up a poster at the border with our pictures and refuse entry into the state again. Glad you like orchids Hanne with all that were take between the group you will be in heaven. Morris did not attend the show because as a true northerner he ran from the cold and went home early. A few feet of snow should not stop a true person from WISCONSIN. Dang cheese heads run from snow? What would Vince say? Then the poor kid from South Carolina left 75 degrees to come to the tundra and had to stay....
A very long time. Heh heh.
Ohhh SOOO marvellous!! Thanks so very much PG, if you shouldn't know I LOVE orchids!!
Nice shot and a fun time was had by all. : )
I hope it does, pg!
A long time, that would be good... The flowers are so lovely... Deep rich photos... A good time was had by all?? Yes??? Kumbaya??? Have a delightful time.... I'd say take lots of photos... but then..... :) :)
WoW! These are unusual - great set today pg - thanks.
Ooooo! Beyond pretty!! Thank you photogent.
Your flowers are beautiful photogent, just what I needed.And thank you for your kind words, some days are better than others.I'm doing the best I can.Jeannie
These certainly look like orchids....are they? and what kind. Very unusual and exotic....

heavy front end, new sound
since the winch install, i get a new sound when i turn right or left (while under speed, jeep needs to body roll a little and i'll get the noise) sounds like a rub or something.
If i go slow and do full lock one way or the other i cannot mimic the noise, only under power and turning.....This happened just as a result of the weight of the winch on the front.... I have a RC 3.25" lift, what could this be....:confused: |
well your front end could be sagging down 1 inch which is making your tires rub against your fenders...have someone out side and check while you turn.

<style type="text/css"> <!-- @page { margin: 0.79in } P { margin-bottom: 0.08in } --> </style> Took a doe right before dark this evening using my Glock 20SF 10MM with 6.02" Lone Wolf Barrel and some handloaded 180gr Hornady XTP's pushed @ 1300 fps. The shot was about 50 yards and I scored a high lung shot that that dropped the doe in it's tracks., and the180gr XTP made a clean pass through. When I approached the doe she was barely hanging on (probably just nerves), but I went ahead and hit her again with the G20 because I like to make sure it's a done deal as fast as possible. Although I didn't get the buck I was hoping for this year I did have a young buck run directly at me while in the prone in some pine thickets over looking a fresh scrape. I decided to let him get a little bigger as he looked like he would make a decent 8 pointer in the future, and I was hoping a mature buck would come out after him. The cool thing about the young buck is that he was trotting directly at me and didn't notice me until he was right within 10 yards of me before he spooked. Next time out I hope to get another close shot, but using my 870 Police with slugs. I like seeing how close I can get as I find it a good challenge that takes some skill honing. I got bored hunting with my 700 LTR 308Win, and wanted to even the odds a bit. I had to put a lot more work in this year scouting to find the areas that would allow a close shot and offered good concealment, but I also learned a lot more about the deer and hunting. End result I'm happy to have made a clean kill with a handgun for the first time, and I'm extremely impressed with the 10mm and Hornady 180gr XTP. It's quiet impressive that the XTP gets such good penetration while also expanding very well.
Congratulations PrecisionRifleman, good shooting = good eating. Hopefully you will get the big buck next year.
Thank you! The doe was nothing to post pictures over, but I was really happy to have made a harvest with the 10mm and put some meat in the freezer.
Good job, man! Good to hear that the 10mm served you well. I've found that the heavy XTP's kill pretty quickly if you put them in the right place.
ShagZ, your sorrow is mine also. The Demokratik Peoples Workers Republik of Bankorrupt IL also does not permit semi-autos for hunting. I have to chose between my S&W 610 or the Ruger BlackHawk Buckeye convert if I want to use a 10MM for deer hunting. uncle albert

Tactical Pants - Galls A popular choice for public safety professionals, the Galls Tactical Pants are...
August 01, 2005 | by Michael T. Rayburn - Also by this author
We've laid the foundation with your feet and knees, so let's talk about your waist. It's natural to bend slightly forward at the waist. Again, this is preparation for either taking flight or fighting. If you were to stand straight up with your back stiff you could be easily knocked over, and you certainly don't run with your back stiff and straight. So instead, get into this crouched stance. It's also known as a "combat crouch."
In a crisis, you'll also automatically protect your windpipe by lowering your chin. You can't fight if you can't breathe. Years of evolution have taught us to protect our windpipes so that we can have the air we need to fight-or, in some cases, to flee. Your brain will automatically lower your chin when it recognizes your body is being threatened. Again, this is an automatic response that will occur once your brain has realized that your body is under attack. If it's going to happen in real life under the stress of a fight for your life then why not train this way to be prepared?
Meet the Threat Head On
The last area to discuss, and probably the most important when talking about stances, is the fact that under stress you're going to face your adversary straight on, square to the threat.
Turn on the nature channel and watch any predatory animal hunt its prey or get into a dispute with another predator. They don't stiffen their backs and legs or turn sideways to their adversary. They crouch down and face the danger straight on. We do the same things.
Both of our eyes are open because we are visual creatures.
Unfortunately, when our startle response kicks in on us another instinctive automatic response that occurs is tunnel vision. This reduces your vision by roughly 70 percent, which means you'll be operating with about 30 percent of your normal field of view.
This again goes back to years of evolution. When people were hunters and gatherers lo those many years ago, as hunters we focused in on our prey because a missed shot meant we went hungry. Plus, sometimes our prey tried to turn around and make us the meal. Because of this we have evolved to focus on the task at hand.
Think back to when you had to tighten a nut that was in a tight spot on your car's engine. Or had to replace a washer and nut on a sink that was in an awkward spot. You don't look around the engine compartment as you're trying to get that nut to fit on the bolt. The last thing you want to do is cross thread that nut and washer onto your kitchen faucet. We focus on the task at hand to get the job done properly. Now take that level of focus and combine it with your startle response mechanism and it's easy to see why we focus on the source of the danger with both our eyes open.
In a real life gunfight are you really going to be consciously worrying about your stance? No, of course not. It will come to you naturally. But knowing this, it only makes sense to train in the same way you'll react under stress during that gunfight. It makes more sense to train the way you're going to react and that is naturally and instinctively. With your feet shoulder width apart, your knees bent and bent slightly forward at the waist with your chin lowered and both of your eyes open.
If you doubt the validity of this stance I can tell you that several police academies have switched over to teaching this stance to their new recruits with dramatic results. Before switching over to this stance it would take approximately 700 to 900 rounds per recruit to get them to a point where they could hit the target consistently. After switching over to teaching this stance to the new recruits it now only takes about 400 rounds to get them up to speed. I firmly believe this results from building a solid foundation on which to build their shooting skills.

PS3 DVD and Blu-ray Region Change Guide
This is just a little quicky for people stressing out over region coding for their bluray and DVDs.
Fairly simple thing (some/most people may already know)
1) First you need to downgrade you console to 3.41 using the modified PUP and your prefered downgrader dongle
2) Choose your region 3.41 firmware...
a) NTSC/USA Firmware = Region 1 Bluray & DVD playback
b) NTSC-J/JAP Firmware = Region (?) Bluray & DVD playback (untested ATM but will try later today)
c) PAL/EU Firmware = Region 2 Bluray & DVD playback
You get the point really. I found this out by accidently flashing NTSC-U 3.41 onto my pal machine and realised when I tried to play some films and it complained about region lockout.
Not really rocket science, but usefull for those that don't know. I'll update with more info as I try more firmware
01-14-2011 #2
Or you could just edit the xRegistory.sys file.
01-14-2011 #3
Thanks for the guide mushy409 and +Rep!
01-16-2011 #4
01-17-2011 #5
In xRegistory.sys file (load up with the registory editor released ages ago) change the region of BD &/or DVD then just send the file back to the ps3 overwriting the original.
I don't think it can be set to region free, though I am happy to play around with it and post back if it works.
For now though, change the setting using:
1 for USA and dependencies
2 for AU, NZ, Africa etc
3 for Europe
You will more then likely also have to reboot after changing the region code for it to take effect. Possible issue could be the drive may have a counter for how many times it can be changed, though I found no evidence of it.
01-17-2011 #6
Hi gumbie,
Please, correct me if I'm wrong.
Instructions for 3.55 FW
1- Install geohot 3.55 CFW
2- Install FTP Server 1.2 for 3.55 CFW
3- Download /dev_flash2/etc/xRegistry.sys (and create backup copy ^_^)
4- Edit it with xRegistry.sys Editor or Multi tools
5- Upload modded version and overwrite original
6- Reboot PS3 and try it
ok, confirmed, this only works with DVD no for Bluray Disc.
01-19-2011 #7
I have a Playstation from USA and live in Brazil. We use the same Bluray region but use DVD region 4. It would be awesome if I could change it. I have a 3.41 PS3 and tried to change the xRegistry.sys file. It didn't work at all. I've changed the '/setting/bddvd/dvdRegionCode' to region 4.
01-19-2011 #8
It seems in 3.55 for some reason to no longer work for bluray. Using 3.41 and under I had to do it constantly thanks to the Mrs getting me 2 blurays from the USA.
01-20-2011 #9
Hi zemane2,
You must change /setting/bddvd/dvdTvSystem to 4 as well.
This works for you
01-20-2011 #10
xregistry changing doesn't work. i tried it long ago. feel free to prove me wrong though.
also the firmwares are all the same. the console is what makes it different.
perhaps a customised debug mode or changing the region in xregistry (along with the bd region and dvd region) might help.
but i really cbf trying, plus my laser died

Web Workers update for Firefox 3.1
Ben Turner has nicely written up the state of Web Workers that we will see in Firefox 3.1 (in beta 2 right now).
To show the latest, Ben got a demo working that decrypts Weave data in the client using a Worker:
- // Launch the main worker.
- if (!worker) {
- worker = new Worker("weaveDecryptorWorker.js");
- worker.onerror = onerror;
- worker.onmessage = onmessage;
- }
- worker.postMessage({ types: types,
- user: document.getElementById("username").value,
- phrase: document.getElementById("passphrase").value,
- server: document.getElementById("server").value });
What's changed?
- The
object has been added to the worker scope. It contains the following strings that identify the browser, just as from normal script:appName
- Workers can now be forcefully killed via the
function. Calling this function on a worker will immediately stop the worker's execution. - Workers may only be created from a worker script that is hosted within the same origin as the parent page.
- URIs for subworker scripts and imported scripts are now resolved relative to the parent worker script location instead of the owning page.
- Error handling has been reworked according to recent spec changes. A worker script can now define an
handler that will be called with an error event with details about the exception. If the handler callspreventDefault
on the event object then nothing else happens. IfpreventDefault
is not called then the error event propagates to the parent scope's (either a worker or the parent page)onerror
handler. - Numbers, booleans, and even objects may be passed to
in addition to strings. The only restriction is that objects may not contain functions or cyclical references (since we use JSON under the hood). This simplifies previous code that needed to use the JSON object to manually encode/decode the strings passed topostMessage

Ellaway, Rachel and Dewhurst, David and McLeod, Hamish (2004) Evaluating a virtual learning environment in the context of its community of practice. Association for Learning Technology Journal, 12 (2). pp. 125-145. ISSN 0968-7769 (print)/1741-1629 (online)

The evaluation of virtual learning environments (VLEs) and similar applications has, to date, largely consisted of checklists of system features, phenomenological studies or measures of specific forms of educational efficacy. Although these approaches offer some value, they are unable to capture the complex and holistic nature of a group of individuals using a common system to support the wide range of activities that make up a course or programme of study over time. This paper employs Wenger's theories of 'communities of practice' to provide a formal structure for looking at how a VLE supports a pre-existing course community. Wenger proposes a Learning Architecture Framework for a learning community of practice, which the authors have taken to provide an evaluation framework. This approach is complementary to both the holistic and complex natures of course environments, in that particular VLE affordances are less important than the activities of the course community in respect of the system. Thus, the VLE's efficacy in its context of use is the prime area of investigation rather than a reductionist analysis of its tools and components. An example of this approach in use is presented, evaluating the VLE that supports the undergraduate medical course at the University of Edinburgh. The paper provides a theoretical grounding, derives an evaluation instrument, analyses the efficacy and validity of the instrument in practice and draws conclusions as to how and where it may best be used.
