About Ronnie Milsap
Ronnie Milsap was one of the major figures of country music in the 1970s, developing a hybrid of country and pop that brought him a large audience. Milsap was born in Robbinsville, NC, and was raised by his father and grandparents following his parents' divorce. He was born blind from congenital glaucoma, and when he was five, he began attending the Governor Moorhead School for the Blind. When he was seven, his instructors noticed his extraordinary musical talents and he began to study classical music formally. A single year after he began learning the violin, Milsap was declared a virtuoso; he also mastered piano, guitar, and a variety of other stringed instruments, as well as various woodwinds. Eventually, he became interested in rock & roll music and while still in school formed his first rock band, the Apparitions. He briefly attended college in Atlanta where he studied pre-law; though he was awarded a comprehensive scholarship, Milsap decided to become a full-time musician instead. His first professional gig was as a member of J.J. Cale's band in the early '60s.
In 1965, Milsap started his own band and four years later, after having an R&B hit with "Never Had It So Good," moved to Memphis to become a session musician. There he frequently worked for Chips Moman and can be heard playing keyboards on Elvis' "Kentucky Rain" and singing harmony on "Don't Cry Daddy." When not doing session work, Milsap and his backing group were the house band at TJ's Club. In 1970, he had a pop hit with "Loving You Is a Natural Thing." Following its success, in 1971 he released his eponymous debut. Two years later, Milsap moved to Nashville in hopes of jump-starting his flagging career and became a client of Charley Pride's manager, Jack D. Johnson. Within a year, he signed to RCA Victor, where he would remain for the bulk of his career. "I Hate You," his first single for RCA, reached the country Top Ten in the summer of 1973. The following year, he had three number one hits in a row -- "Pure Love," "Please Don't Tell Me How the Story Ends," and "(I'd Be) A Legend in My Time," a cover of Don Gibson's classic.
Milsap had a handful of Top Ten hits in 1975, but in late 1976 he became a genuine star, with a string of six number one hits in a row. In turn, that string of hits began a remarkable run where Milsap didn't leave the Top Ten for 15 straight years. During that time, he had a number of pop crossover hits, beginning with 1977's "It Was Almost Like a Song." Between 1980 and 1982, Milsap had ten more consecutive number one hits, including the crossover smashes "Smoky Mountain Rain," "No Gettin' Over Me," and "Any Day Now." Milsap had yet another string of uninterrupted number one hits between 1985 and 1987, racking up eight consecutive chart toppers. He had his last number one hit in 1989, when "A Woman in Love" spent two weeks on the top of the charts. In total, he had 35 number one singles.
In the early '90s, Milsap's commercial appeal began to decline -- after 1992, he wasn't able to break into the country Top Ten. Nevertheless, he continued to record. In 1992, he left RCA and signed to Liberty, where he recorded True Believer, which failed to yield any major hits. Despite his decline in popularity, Milsap continued to record and perform successfully throughout the '90s. Working with producer Jerry F. Sharell, Milsap released the non-country Just For a Thrill in 2004, following it with a return to country (and a return to RCA) with 2006's My Life. The two-disc gospel album Then Sings My Soul landed in 2009, with another country album, Country Again, appearing in 2011. An album featuring new recordings of classic pop, R&B and country songs, Summer Number 17, was released early in 2014. ~ Sandra Brennan & Steve Leggett

Nat Reeves
Veteran altoist Jackie McLean was not familiar with pianist Junko Onishi's playing until shortly before recording this quartet CD (which also includes bassist Nat Reeves and drummer Lewis Nash), but he was apparently pleased with how she sounded. Onishi's bop-oriented style (which sometimes uses more complex chord voicings) fits in well with McLean, and the results are generally memorable. Jackie McLean, one of the few hard bop stylists to embrace aspects of the avant-garde, sounds quite advanced on the straight-ahead program. His distinctive tone is unchanged from the 1960s, and he still displays all of the fire and enthusiasm he had in his early days. McLean really digs into his two durable originals ("Little Melonae" and "Bluesnik"), five standards, Mal Waldron's "Left Alone" and Onishi's "Jackie's Hat" (based on "Sweet Georgia Brown"), making this outing into something quite special. Recommended. ~ Scott Yanow

Flora Belle Dubach died Thursday June 27, 2013 in Marvell.
Flora Belle Schaffhauser Dubach was born on Oct. 13, 1926 to Werner and Mary Martha (Leifer) Schaffhauser at their home outside of Marvell. She was one of six children, four sons and two daughters. Flora Belle graduated from Marvell High School in 1944, where she was a talented basketball player. She was always good with numbers and later served as bookkeeper for the Dubach Brothers Store and farm operation. She lived her entire life in the Marvell area. Flora Belle married Henry Dubach, the boy next door, in 1945, and they were married 54 years until he went to be with the Lord in July 1999. Flora Belle and Henry built their home between the Schaffhauser and Dubach homesteads. They farmed together and owned a store along with his two brothers, Johnny and Dave. Throughout the years they were blessed with two children, Mary Martha and Dan, four grandchildren, and one great-grandchild. "Mamaw," as she was known to her grandchildren, loved being outdoors whether it was for gardening, fishing, feeding her birds, or just sitting and visiting with family and friends. Even though she preferred the outdoors, she rarely missed "The Price Is Right" and she enjoyed "Gunsmoke" and other westerns. She loved flowers and in her younger days would often make arrangements for the church service on Sunday. Another faithful service she carried out for many years was to send cards from her Sunday School class to those who were sick, discouraged, or had lost a family member. She made sure those cards were in the mailbox each and every Monday morning just like clockwork. "Aunt Flu," as nieces and nephews called her, was a steady, loving, and dependable person. She was a loving wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, and friend. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her well. She was preceded in death by her parents, Werner and Mary Schaffhauser, her husband, Henry Dubach, four brothers, Werner Jr., Frank, Albert and Calvin Schaffhauser and a sister, Marie Elizabeth Beith. Immediate family members who survive include her two children, Dan Dubach and wife, Janine and Mary Martha McCormick and husband, Tommy, all of Marvell; four grandchildren, Dana McCormick, J.T. McCormick, Ryne Dubach (Samantha) and Clay Dubach; and a great grandchild, Dru McCormick. Flora Belle died Thursday June 27 in Marvell. Services were Saturday, June 29th at Brickell Funeral Home and burial was in Schaffhauser Cemetery. Arrangements were by Bob Neal & Sons-Brickell Funeral Home, Marvell.

Authorities say a new federal grant will open doors for disadvantaged students to become part of the nursing program at the University of North Alabama.
Officials say the $2.1 million grant goes to UNA's College of Nursing and Allied Health.
The Florence TimesDaily reports (http://bit.ly/R7PL64) that the grant will provide access to the university's Opportunities for Entry into Nursing program for what officials describe as "under-represented minorities."
UNA spokesman Josh Woods said the program enhances opportunities for "minority students who are not well represented in the nursing profession." He said the program equips those students with the knowledge and skills to "go back into their communities and make them better through better availability" to health care services.

A growing movement of people who do not accept establishment information when it is not backed up by scientific facts and logical reasoning.
The official conspiracy theory of 9/11 (executed by 19 hijackers and Al Qaeda) is false because there is peer-reviewed scientific evidence that shows conclusively that nano-thermite, an exceptionally rare military-grade explosive, was present in the dust of the world trade center buildings in quantities sufficient to bring down the towers--and several of the supposed hijackers have been shown to be alive and well. Further, those buildings were built to withstand large aircraft strikes and fires. As you can tell, I'm in the truth movement.

Well, after checking out the full chapter, I'm now 100% certain that Magellan is NOT a Logia. The way he travelled through his poison hydra definitely confirms this (there's also the fact that he got hit by Luffy, but we already knew that). Speaking of the warden, he's definitely awesome.... I see those horns on his head are actually more like weapons/accessories (you can see he has hair underneath the horns when he pulls them off). He also has some awesome facial expressions, too.... I especially like that close-up of him on page 8. His expression when chewing the poison gas bomb was rather amusing, as well. Now let's hope that Hannyabal is no slouch in combat, either.....
Oh, and it looks like Luffy's not far away from Daz's cell, interestingly enough. I also like how Sadi and the guardians are taking their sweet time drinking sake.
Yep, that's why Moria's my favorite Shichibukai..... he may be a lazy pig, but that doesn't mean that he's some pushover. Unfortunately, his pride (and a convenient plot device) got the better of him at Thriller Bark. Oh well, he still has another chance to shine during the Whitebeard war.....

^I am in the same boat (that is my One Piece joke for the day ). Part of me simply wants Magellan to be taken down so that the plot can move along (if I was actually invested in Magellan as a character (like say he was the one personally beating Ace, or something that actually affects the story) then I might want to see a drawn out battle. But, as it is, Magellan seems to be nothign more than a strange obstacle in the way of Luffy's progression. Magellan is a little bit like the crazy chef that knew Ramen-Kempo from the Eneis Lobbey arc - they are both important to the organization they are apart of, but they are never built up as anything but 'named' cannon fodder.)
Then again, another part of me likes Magellans character design just enough that I want to see if his size (et cetera) actually helps in the battle. Plus, the fact that he is the Warden of Impel Down is pretty cool...

I highly doubt that Magellan is down for the count. Not yet, anyway. However, I don't believe this will be a long fight, either. Sure, we've got both wardens plus the guardians to worry about now, but we still haven't reached level 5 (along with the rumored 6+) yet. There could still be some hidden dangers in the lower levels that are much more fearsome than the "Impel Down all-stars" awaiting Luffy and his band of prison escapees later in the storyline......

Actually now that i think about it,yeah Jet attacks are really strong to even break the Tekkai ,and Magellan is i'm pretty sure used to see people scared to touch him,so his body might not be that strong and in addition now Luffy has damaged his arms,so he needs to find the antidote or something to fix them back xd

After reading chapter I kinda ended up believing Magellan IS Logia user.
He pretty much dissolved to poison at some points and he seem to extract poison from any part of his body.
I don't think Blackbeard who is also logia user could completely vaporize to his fruit element, travel and emerge again. I think that there is quite a lot of diffrences with Logia family fruits, only common element would be able to manipulate 'element' such as:
Crocodile could produce diffrent types of sand, so can Magellan produce diffrent types of poison. In this chapter Magellan seem to be completely formed from poison, even his face is melting from heat.
Paramecia that most closely resembles Magellans fruit is Mr.3's Doru Doru wax paramecia fruit, but however even if Wax is very vulnerable to heat hes body won't show signs of melting, only if he summons his power wax starts to melt immediatly.
Logia users are so much one with their element that heat of Level 4 is actually infecting Magellan physically bringing out his elemental body properties.
Marvel based his argument that Magellan is paramecia because he used Venom road to travel instead just vaporizing into poison and appearing next ot Luffy, I think that in Venom road he actually proved he is Logia, he dissolved entire lower body to poison and formed road with it, I doubt that paramecia could do such.
Also I doubt that Blackbeard could vaporize into darkness and move around without physical form, I think that some Logia's you cant turn 100% into elemental form.

I just realized something, Magellan is significantly weaker by fighting on Level 4. With the constant heat and steam, poison will be less effective, considering that it can be expelled far more quickly when the body overheats. Added to that, Gear 2 (and potentially Gear 3) can force the poison out of the body entirely. (obviously, this does not account for the poisons that are hot enough to melt rock .)
Boy, do I feel stupid for not conecting the dots earlier.

Blackbeard D. Kuma I meant that Mihawk was even more arogant - however at that time Zoro was a nobody for him, and he unlike others can read people better - the greates swordman should be able to read people's abilities just by seeing them walk or something like that.
Now that I think about Nightmere Luffy - he was a great polot device that bring the lose of Moria much closer to his deafet, and him trying to take 1000 was to much, but don't know if he could handle 100 like Luffy (at that point of battle I don't see him fighting without trick like that), and he's too lazy to fight - but that's a diffrence between him and e.g. Kuma. They might be consider weak not because of his strenght, but because of his personality - but maybe that's because he lost at New World.
Most human beings are weaker on lvl4 - maybe Ace without handcuffs would feel good XD
Luffy can't use Gear 3 now - he can't bite his finger with posioned hands.
Prestige you're missing the point of Logia. Any Logia user can become the element, and if Magellan were logia than Luffy wouldn't be able to hit him like marvelB pointed out. Instead of becoming the element he used it to push through it - if he was logia he would dissolve and show up at the end of hydra's mouth instead (he used it like Iceman from X-men). He is paramencia like Mr.3, he creates poison like Mr.3 creates wax and that's it.
You pointed out that he looks like melting, but that's his ability and the posion that he creates all over his body - the heat just makes it evaporate quickly. He was like that back in Ace's level and it wasn't hot up there.
Your really missing the point here - Blackbeard said it himself that he is the only one logia user that can't turn into element.

Good catch on the unable to use gear 3 thing. i didnt realize that. but i think if he did activate it anyway he would break to bridge they're on. Incidentally though i'd have to disagree with you on the luffy being shichibukia level yet. My reasons are the same as Blackbeards. Both croc and moria saw luffy as a regular rookie that they wouldn't have to break a sweat over and held back/only half fought because of it. Anyways how strong was nightmare luffy? shichibukia level?

In One Piece I prefer to call it Luffy's super luck instead of plot devices XD This story is way better than Naruto because anything can happen
Ok, so Croc and Moria were beaten by luck, but what about Luffy now? Would he beat Croc easily? We know that Buggy or Mr.3 wouldn't be much of a fight.
I thought of something that could prove that Ace could be on level 6. Level 5 suppose to be for 100 000+ bounties, right? Than what about Croc - he was below that bar and even if it was said that he would be doubled - he was caught and no rising should happen. Why is he on Ace's level when his bounty wouldn't suggest him being worth it... that would mean that this level is for people that are just too dangerous, like the prison in Bleach where Mayuri was kept :P

Avoiding physical blow as Logia seem to require atleast some level of focus and we don't know what is Magellans fruits (if it is Logia) vulnerability, perhaps it is heat or perhaps Luffy's Jet bazooka just connects in blink of eye that no time to dissolve to avoid blow.
DON'T FORGET LUFFY'S HAKI. If Luffy's attack was infused by Haki then Logia is unable to absorb it, Luffy has Haki of the Kings but he is quite ignorant of his power and he cannot control it yet so its random and seem to be tied to his emotions...and Luffy was quite emotional during his attack, even going far enough to sacrifice his hands, he could very possibly to infuse some Haki to his attack to connect blow succesfully.
If we take Luffy's possible haki to account then Magellan being Logia would be more realistic... it would be good enemy to force Luffy master his haki.

So, over all, besides inevitable heat exhaustion and dehydration, Luffy is technically in a better position for a battle with a Poison user than if he were to have fought him in Level 1/2 or Level 5.

Y'know, I initially thought that Bon Clay would meet up with Daz Bones first, but since it looks like Luffy's actually closer to his cell, I guess they'll be the ones meeting up instead. I can actually see the scenario now: Daz asks Luffy something like, "Hey, Straw-Hat..... did Roronoa learn how to cut diamonds yet?" Then when Luffy answers no, he'll be all like, "Hmm.... I see." Cue Daz breaking out of his cell and slicing Magellan into confetti. Man, would it be awesome if that actually happened next chapter.....

For example, many lethal gas may enter the body through not only breathing, but also through your skin, and sweating, making sweat gland open bigger would be fatal. His rising body temperature would also push the chemical reaction into another level. Or many particular toxic would only react in acidic or base environment, or put a hole in or stomach, and eating certainly isn't a great idea. I also don't see why touching acid with a heated body is a better idea.
Again, only Oda is the one with the final saying.

"Hey, I made them swet and complain that it's hot, right?"
It's like with the hair burining thng - a common knowladge for some (even for people that just have a lot of free time and a lighter to play with) - but doesn't have to do anything with One Piece.
It's like a fan studies sience or biology so they can point such thing, but the autor actually study drawning stuff and has to make story on his own basics - as you progress with drawning you find that learning math and sience becomes harder and harder.

Goodbye and See You Soon: Nothing Dies on the Internet
A blog has a history—697 posts before this one, if I added up the sidebar correctly—but it exists mainly in an apparently endless present . Someone is on the Internet, on the publishing platform, reacting to the state of the world and the state of the commentary on the world at the moment (tag: " Ground Zero Mosque "). If you're that person, it's partly like having the entire potential of the Gutenberg printing revolution in your fingertips, and partly (often the greater part) like having a giant, hungry Tamagotchi with your name on it (tag: " The Machines ").
When I got up this morning, or even when I had lunch, I didn't really know I'd be shutting the blog down today, on the 698th post ( Go for 700, already , cries the part of the brain conditioned to tend the Tamagotchi). That's how the instant horizon works. Get mad about Bill Simmons' taste in shoes and—oh, time to make an announcement: I'm going to be managing editor of Deadspin .
(Slightly late with the announcement, in fact. That's the online news cycle.)
Deadspin appeared in the New York Times Magazine's Simmons profile , deprived of its name and false-pluralized, in the statement "[W]e have reached a point at which sports Web sites are posting photographs said to show Brett Favre's penis." Pray the gods save us all from an era when journalism consists of coverage of crotch photos .
("Anthony Weiner" was not showing up today among whatever my atomized-Internet version of Twitter flagged as Trending Topics; "Kazaam," however, was.)
Thanks to David Plotz, for opening part of his magazine for whatever I might write about, whenever I might write it, with no editing and no particular mandate. Thanks to Julia Turner, for managing the semi-feral employment arrangement with grace and enthusiasm. Thanks to the readers, for reading and reacting.
This blog, as a blog, is stopping. I'll continue to write for Slate as a columnist. Media historians of the unimaginably distant future, 50 or 60 months from now, will have no idea what this distinction meant. "IDK LOL," they will say, brain straight to tactile-enhanced video, on their implanted iPhones.
And there's also the book: Beijing Welcomes You , available August 4. Maybe I'll be at a bookstore near you, if your bookstore is within a four-hour radius of New York. Thanks again.
Bill Simmons Is Doubtful About This Grantland Project, Too
Add another voice to the chorus of anticipatory skepticism about ESPN Sports Guy columnist Bill Simmons' still-gestating Quality Sports Writing website, Grantland: ESPN columnist Bill Simmons. The New York Times Magazine profiled Simmons as he bopped around Los Angeles in preparation for Grantland's debut. Note: the most useful way to reconcile an "oppositional" regular-guy persona with participation in a huge corporate establishment is probably not to preemptively disparage your own contribution to the enterprise:
Simmons sounded as if he was having some regrets about Grantland. "It hasn't been as much as fun as I had thought," he told me. "I'm not sure I would do it again." Too much of his time was being spent in the office, dealing with administrative tasks, which was encroaching on his column.
Do it again? He hasn't done it once yet. Way to rally the staff.
Beyond that, there's a little of the usual Sports Guy racial/ethnic disciplining:
Between cheers, Simmons hunkered down over his BlackBerry, not to check his e-mail but to post gloating messages on Twitter. "I don't care if J. J. Barea is from Puerto Rico," Simmons typed. "We need to put him on a dollar bill. He's an American hero."
(Puerto Rico fields its own team in international competition, and Barea plays for it, but it is a United States commonwealth and its people are American citizens. It even has its own U.S. quarter.)
Also I finally learned what kind of person wears those atrocious Komfy Foot padded fake-old-timey Jack Purcells that Converse replaced its real Jack Purcells with a few years ago, thereby ruining a small but important part of my life:
ESPN's press presence at N.B.A. games is dominated by men who, in their slick suits and Italian loafers, seem to be taking their misguided fashion cues from the players themselves. Simmons, who is 41, was dressed more like a TV comedy writer — which he was, briefly, on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" — in a T-shirt, Jack Purcell sneakers, a baseball cap and blue jeans.
Yes, that is what a nonconformist wears to a Lakers game.
Bloomberg View: All-Cliche Edition
"Surely Professor Warren is clever enough to see the proverbial writing on the wall," Bloomberg View columnist William D. Cohan wrote in the site's current lead story, urging Elizabeth Warren to stop pursuing confirmation to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The proverbial writing, on the proverbial wall.
But all the writing is proverbial. William D. Cohan thinks Elizabeth Warren should quit. He is not Elizabeth Warren, nor does he appear to know any facts about Warren's situation beyond what anyone who would read a column about Warren would have already read in the news. So why not embrace the familiar? Aside from the occasional awkward Briticism—"bloody disagreeable," "a petty row"—the piece is a Levittown of opinion writing, stock constructions all the way to the horizon, till the effect becomes fantastical:
The inconvenient truth....for the good of the country...stop the charade now...get underway full- throttle....a well-deserved pat on the back....caught Obama's eye...in the aftermath of the financial meltdown....In retrospect, that may have been Warren's high-water mark....That's when the gloves came off....audible gasps....debate raged....did not concede any ground...what a partisan lightning rod Warren has become....faring little better....all but inevitable....Enough shenanigans already....argued forcefully...a fight worth having...serving the president best...Commonwealth of Massachusetts, head held high.
Words of the Times: "Rebellion" and "Monarchy" in Bahrain
Over the weekend, the New York Times published an overview of Saudi Arabia's efforts to shape current events in the Middle East and North Africa, through its "financial and diplomatic might." The Saudis are trying to buy off the Egyptian junta, "ease out" the president of Yemen, and "block Iran's influence" in various ways.
Because it was a front-page piece in the Times, the story took pains to respect the Saudi point of view. which is—transitively or owing to the regrettable realities of global petro-politics or just is—the effective American point of view, which is that anti-authoritarian protests need to stop before they get too close to the oil. Or, as the Times put it:
The kingdom is aggressively emphasizing the relative stability of monarchies, part of an effort to avert any drastic shift from the authoritarian model, which would generate uncomfortable questions about the pace of political and social change at home.
Speaking of political and social change, last week, the Saudi authorities arrested a woman named Manal al-Sharif for violating the country's ban on female drivers, a quixotic challenge to the Saudi system of gender apartheid. Overall, here's what the State Department had to say last month about the model that our Saudi allies are so busy trying to protect:
The following significant human rights problems were reported: no right to change the government peacefully; torture and physical abuse; poor prison and detention center conditions; arbitrary arrest and incommunicado detention; denial of fair and public trials and lack of due process in the judicial system; political prisoners; restrictions on civil liberties such as freedoms of speech (including the Internet), assembly, association, movement, and severe restrictions on religious freedom; and corruption and lack of government transparency. Violence against women and a lack of equal rights for women, violations of the rights of children, trafficking in persons, and discrimination on the basis of gender, religion, sect, and ethnicity were common. The lack of workers' rights, including the employment sponsorship system, remained a severe problem.
Of events out in the world where the United States does more than issue reports, the Times wrote:
President Obama, in his speech last week demanding that Middle Eastern autocrats bow to popular demands for democracy, noticeably did not mention Saudi Arabia. The Saudi ambassador, Adel al-Jubeir, sat prominently in the front row.
Among the things the president did say in his speech was this:
Not every country will follow our particular form of representative democracy, and there will be times when our short term interests do not align perfectly with our long term vision of the region.
Sorry, Saudi women. Or Saudi practitioners of non-state-supported religions. But Obama did mention Bahrain, another "long-standing partner," which has unfortunately used "mass arrests and brute force" against protesters—as "Iran has tried to take advantage of the turmoil there."
The Times mentioned Bahrain, too—that the Gulf Cooperation Council, a group of six countries including Saudi Arabia, had
authorized the Saudis to send in troops to quell a largely Shiite Muslim rebellion in the Sunni Muslim monarchy of Bahrain.
Here, the Times' word choices fit uncomfortably with the facts. The events in Bahrain were generally not described as a "rebellion" while they were happening. The protesters were nonviolent, and they weren't calling for an overthrow of the government—at least, not until the government had started shooting, beating, and tear-gassing them.
The phrase "in the Sunni Muslim monarchy" is another problem. Does "monarchy" here refer to a system of government, or to a country that has such a system of government? "Monarchy" is the object of the preposition "in," which suggests the latter—since the protests were taking place out in the streets, not among the members of the ruling Al Khalifa family.
But Bahrain is not a Sunni Muslim country; it is a majority Shiite country ruled by Sunni monarchs. The Saudi troops, armed with American weapons, are there to keep the country from falling into some form of majority rule. Their short-term interests in Bahrain align just fine with their own long-term vision.

American League Left Fielders Can't Hit at All This Year
Carl Crawford, the left fielder who signed a $142 million contract with the Boston Red Sox in December, went 4 for 4 with a home run and a double last night. That raised his batting average to .229 and his on-base plus slugging percentage— OPS , the simplest all-purpose measure of a hitter's production—to .599.
For comparison, fading 39-year-old Yankees catcher Jorge Posada, who got into a public dispute with team management over the prospect of being dropped to the bottom of the batting order, has an OPS of .664. Rickey Henderson, ending his major-league career in a short stint with the Dodgers at the age of 44, had an OPS of .627 .
But if Henderson could put up those numbers today, he might be able to hold down a job. (Note to general managers: he's only 52, and he's almost certainly willing .) Crawford is only the most expensive and visible example of the fact that American League left fielders have been incomprehensibly bad this year.
Left field is supposed to be a hitters' position. On Bill James' defensive spectrum , which ranks the positions by the relative importance of bat work to glove work for each, left fielders come just after first basemen and designated hitters.
Yet in the 2011 batting tables, AL left fielders are below even catchers and second basemen. Far below them. The average AL left fielder is batting .227 with no patience and no power, on pace for about 13 home runs and 65 RBI, with 52 walks and 138 strikeouts. In 2,615 at-bats, left fielders have a collective .637 OPS. That puts them more or less in a tie with third basemen—that is, third basemen in 1968 , the notorious Year of the Pitcher .
Dallas' Jason Terry Supplies Some Perspective on Basketball History
Mavericks guard Jason Terry, probably best known for crotch-punching Michael Finley during Dallas' last run to the NBA finals, reportedly got a picture of the league championship trophy tattooed on his arm before this season began. Hubris? Or was it humility? Here's how Terry elaborated on his confidence in his team after the Mavericks finished off the Oklahoma City Thunder last night:
"If you look, to a man, this team is better than it was in 2006," Terry said. "To a man. The whole makeup. The chemistry, just all together. … Just look at the point guard on that team. It was me. Look at the point guard on this team: Jason Kidd. Big difference."
That might be the most ruthless NBA self-assessment since Gilbert Arenas declared that he would choose Kobe Bryant over Gilbert Arenas ("I had a good game, but I mean, one's 6-8 or 6-9, one's 6-3 and a half. Hey, you go with the bigger guy. Jesus Christ. Just state the obvious").
Bloomberg View: An Unexpected Look
Bloomberg View has arrived. Do I agree with its expensive and precision-engineered consensus opinions ? I haven't read any yet, because I got distracted by the headlines. The lettering, not the words.
What is this? So very, very rounded. Rational little letter-planets, spinning individually in white space. If you look at the edges, you can see the haze of their planetary atmospheres—a little fuzziness, in counterpoint to the geometry, as if the letters are a little too finely crafted for a humble computer screen to do them justice. Like those boardwalk t-shirts that use a blurry font for gags about drunkenness.
(Blowing it up doesn't even capture the weirdness; New York Times online headlines look bizarre when enlarged, too, but are clean at normal display size.)
A newspaper designer tells me this appears to be a custom version of

Forgotten but Not Gone: The Dallas Mavericks and the Afterlife of NBA Reputations
There are two separate timelines in the NBA: one for a basketball player's career, and another for the things people say about a basketball player's career. The second one moves much faster than the first, which is why the Eastern Conference finals feature former MVP LeBron James, age 26, trying to reclaim his status as the league's best player from reigning MVP Derrick Rose, age 22—a series pitting the seven future titles James' Miami Heat have been built to win against the four titles Chicago Bulls owner Jerry Reinsdorf has predicted for Rose.
Meanwhile, over in the Western Conference, in slow time, Dirk Nowitzki—after 22,000 points scored and 10 consecutive All-Star games—has the Dallas Mavericks one win away from the finals. Alongside him is Jason Kidd, who leads all active players 11,578 assists and 2,477 steals in his career, the second and third most all-time, respectively.
It's not just that Dallas is a haven for aging players; it's that it's a haven for forgotten story lines. Kidd took the New Jersey Nets to the finals two years in a row, when Kenyon Martin was still a plausible superstar and before Facebook existed. Who's that springing out to double-team Oklahoma City's 22-year-old superstar Kevin Durant, as Kidd forces him to his right? Shawn Marion, of the now-disbanded Seven Seconds or Less Phoenix Suns. Back when the Suns were maybe going to sprint to a championship, Marion was supposed to be the next coming of Scottie Pippen.
There's Peja Stojakovic, formerly of the Chris Webber Sacramento Kings. And DeShawn Stevenson and Brendan Haywood, last seen as role players on Gilbert Arenas' up-and-coming Washington Wizards*. And coach Rick Carlisle, under whom the Indiana Pacers cryptodynasty collapsed in the 2004 brawl at Auburn Hills.
Or there's the Mavericks franchise itself—owner Mark Cuban's brash, new-money operation, bent on forcing its way into the league's elite. Flat-screen TVs in the lockers, remember? But the Lakers and Spurs kept winning titles anyway, and the Mavs blew a lead in their lone finals appearance, and everybody stopped caring.
Yet the Mavericks never stopped winning 50 or 60 games a year —57 this season, not that anyone was counting. That gave the old people a better record than the 23-and-under Thunder, who were already crowned the next great team in the NBA.
The new thing is always more interesting than the old thing, and the game right now—even though it only has 10 players in it at once—seems bigger than its overall context, let alone the vague sweep of history. This is what made people say Rajon Rondo was the best player on the Celtics, more important than the three future Hall of Famers beside him. (Really? Give him John Wall's minutes in Washington and see how that goes.) Tony Parker was the most unstoppable player on the Spurs. Chris Paul is the most dominant player in the NBA, when the Hornets are playing. Zach Randolph, two weeks ago, was the best power forward in the league. Sure, it helped that he had the now-formidable Marc Gasol beside him. ( Marc Gasol is totally better than Pau Gasol. )
You can come up with new ideas about reputation every day. Watch Oklahoma City's point guard Russell Westbrook: a triple-double to close out Memphis...a fourth-quarter benching as the Thunder won a game against Dallas...a 30-point game in a loss to Dallas. What do you say about how good Westbrook is?
Or about Nowitzki? His coach, Carlisle, said after the Mavericks swept the Lakers that he was "a top 10 player in NBA history." Well—WiltMagicJordan...RussellKareemBirdDuncan...OlajuwonShaq—mmmaybe? Oscar Robertson, Jerry West, Kobe Bryant, yeah, no. History is long. But the thought does count. Nowitzki has led a historically worthless franchise to the playoffs year after year. Measuring him game by game is silly. Forty-eight points* in game one: an unstoppable scorer . Then 29 in the game two loss: he can't carry a team alone . An awful start, then a flurry of points in the final minutes to win game three: the will of a champion .
Here's what can be said about Dirk Nowitzki: if he wins five more games, he gets an NBA championship. The same goes for LeBron James.
[*Corrections: I originally put an extra A in "Arenas" and wrote that Nowitzki had scored 41 points rather than 48.]
Gay Person Is Boycotting Straight Weddings Because He's a Tendentious Dope
Writer Rich Benjamin took to the New York Times opinion pages this past weekend to declare that he is "boycotting all heterosexual weddings," even though he is "not a gay-rights activist." (Why not?) In response to a suspiciously pat-sounding phone call from a newly engaged former college roommate, Benjamin wrote:
How utterly absurd to celebrate an institution that I am banned from in most of the country. It puzzles me, truth be told, that wedding invitations deluge me. Does a vegan frequent summer pig roasts? Do devout evangelicals crash couple-swapping parties? Do undocumented immigrants march in Minuteman rallies?
Maybe if Benjamin were a gay-rights activist, he'd recognize the problem with comparing homosexuality to a self-chosen ideological identity like veganism. It's an old problem, and sort of an important one, especially on the subject of same-sex marriage.
Even well-meaning heterosexuals often describe their own nuptials in deeply personal terms, above and beyond politics, but tend to dismiss same-sex marriage as a political cause, and gay people's desire to marry as political maneuvering.
What many straight people consistently forget is that same-sex couples aren't demanding marriage to make a political statement or to accrue "special rights." When I ask my gay friends why they wish to marry, they don't mention tax benefits. They seek marriage for the same personal reasons that straight people do: to share life's triumphs and trials with their beloved, to start a family, to have the ability to protect that family, and to celebrate their loving commitment with a wedding.
This is not even a straw man; it's some loose straw the writer is throwing in the air while yelling "Look at that man!" Who are these many straight people Benjamin claims to be describing? That same-sex couples want to marry for love, rather than as a political statement, is a commonplace among straight liberals. (Oddly enough, they, too, have gay friends they can talk to.)
This coming September will mark nine years since the Times itself—as good a proxy for well-meaning heterosexuals as anyone could hope to find—changed "Weddings" to "Weddings/Celebrations" and started printing same-sex couples' announcements. At the time, executive editor Howell Raines said that same-sex commitment ceremonies were "celebrations important to many of our readers, their families and their friends." The Times also wrote that same-sex couples' applications for published announcements would be judged the same way male-female couples were, by "the newsworthiness and accomplishments of the couples and their families."
Gay marriage is winning, in concept. Even Focus on the Family president CEO Jim Daly just said so, in an interview with Marvin Olasky:
We're losing on that one, especially among the 20- and 30-somethings: 65 to 70 percent of them favor same-sex marriage. I don't know if that's going to change with a little more age—demographers would say probably not. We've probably lost that.
So what is the point of this weird little time capsule of unfocused grievance? If you want to blame heterosexuals for something, don't blame them for not believing in homosexual love. Blame them for not doing enough to support it.
There's no sense in pretending that the arc of justice bends anywhere but toward two groom figurines on a wedding cake. The question is why the arc is still so long. The good opinion of well-meaning people has not yet repealed the Defense of Marriage Act, or gotten 41 states to drop their bans on gay marriage.
Instead of a blanket boycott, try asking your straight friend if he'll have the wedding in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Washington D.C., Vermont, or Iowa. Some of those places are lovely in June. Go, bring a date, dance. See how many people assume you're doing it to lobby for a tax break. Why be more unreasonable than the law is?

[Illinois] AVS Meeting 2012: Understanding Atomic-Layer-Deposition Synthesis of Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 Solar Cells
Published on
While many materials have been synthesized by atomic layer deposition (ALD), the application of this method to technologically important metal sulfides is underexplored, and homogeneous quaternary metal sulfides are absent from the literature. We outline a first-to-date ALD process to synthesize CZTS [2], in which a trilayer stack of binary metal sulfides (i.e., Cu2
S, SnS2 and ZnS) was deposited and mixed by thermal annealing. Since this ALD route relies on the facile solid state diffusion of chalcogenides for mixing we investigate (i) intermixing in the initial stack |substrate/Cu2 S/SnS2/ZnS| and (ii) effect of the annealing temperature. The first case is of fundamental interest, while the second one provides parameters needed to fully mix the binaries into a homogenous CZTS alloy.
The composition profiles were measured by time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry in high resolution dual-beam regime (gentleDB TOF SIMS) [3] for both as-deposited trilayer stacks (at 135 C) and after their annealing at elevated temperatures (275, 350 and 425 C) in argon ambient for 60 min.
Diffuse interfaces between layers were found in the as-deposited case, indicating that binaries greatly premixed at the synthesis temperature of 135 C. By using high-resolution SIMS depth profiles we were able to estimate roughly the diffusion coefficients between adjunct layers in the trilayer stack.
Under annealing, gentleDB SIMS results suggest that mixing of the metal-sulfide binaries into CZTS obeys the following predicted mechanism [4]:
(1) Cu2 S + SnS2 → Cu2 SnS3 + ZnS;
(2) Cu2 SnS3 + ZnS → Cu2 ZnSnS4,
Step (2) limits the overall solid-state reaction. Particularly, it explains why CZTS forms only at elevated temperatures in excess of 400 C (Cu and Sn concentrations homogenize at much lower temperatures) as was previously evidenced by Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction [2].
Temperature of 425 C was found to be sufficient to fully mix the binaries. One can consider it as a starting point for further device performance-driven process optimization in this ALD route to the CZTS system.

The fourth annual Tour de Yadkin, hosted by The Yadkin Riverkeeper, based in Winston-Salem, is set for June 9-29.
The fourth annual Tour de Yadkin, hosted by The Yadkin Riverkeeper, based in Winston-Salem, is set for June 9-29.
The 185-mile paddling adventure takes place on North Carolina's second largest river basin. For three weeks, hundreds of paddlers in canoes and kayaks will take to the water from the highlands of Wilkes County to the Uwharrie Mountains of south central North Carolina, according to a press release from the riverkeeper.
This year's Tour has expanded camping opportunities for the first 10 days of the tour and will feature "Women on the Water" Paddle Day and a Father's Day Paddle with the Adventure Guides. The 2013 Tour de Yadkin is sponsored by REI Sports with numerous prize sponsors including Get: Outdoors paddle sports and outdoor sports supplies and Maui Jim sunglasses. Registration for paddle days opens April 1.
The Tour de Yadkin offers an on-the-water experience for all levels of paddling skill. Paddlers can join the tour for a few hours or multiple days. Most events are free, and paddlers should visit YadkinRiverkeeper.org for additional details, start times, paddling opportunities, rentals, lodging and restrictions. New to this year's tour is a Woman on the Water paddle and Adventure Guides Program Father's Day paddle.
The tour will pass through Davidson County during its last week. The Tour de Yadkin begins June 23 with a Membership Appreciation Paddle, where paddlers will head 9 miles downriver from below Idols Dam to the U.S. Highway 64 Access in Davidson County. All paddlers as well as members and volunteers of Yadkin Riverkeeper can participate in a Membership Appreciation Barbecue Dinner on the river later that evening.
June 24 is a 12.4-mile REI Employee Paddle Day from U.S. Highway 64 to Boone's Cave Park. Legend says that Daniel Boone was only 16 when his family settled on the banks of the Yadkin River in the spring of 1750. Paddlers can explore "the shoals of the Yadkin" where Daniel Boone fished as teenage boy. Daniel Boone Park also includes a small cave thought to be Daniel Boone's hideout. Camping is available at Boone's Cave Park, but non-campers can take out at the 801 Access at 9.3 miles.
Paddlers continue June 25 from Boone's Cave Park to York Hill on High Rock Lake for a 9.5-mile trip, and then June 26 is a 12-mile paddle from York Hill across High Rock Lake to Tamarac Marina, with a camping option at Tamarac Marina.

Ms. Wanyonyi Kendrick
Mrs. Joan Newton, Dr. Bruce Taylor
Committee Chair Twomey called the meeting to order and informed the committee that the UNF Financing Corporation (UNFFC) met prior to this meeting and approved bonding for the Student Union Building but took no action regarding the bonding for student housing – there were a few more steps to go through before approval would be requested for student housing.
Committee Chair Twomey stated that the purpose of this conference call was to review the approval from the UNFFC and make a recommendation to the Board of Trustees.
Committee Chair Twomey asked for approval of the minutes for the March 15, 2007 meeting. The minutes were approved unanimously.
Committee Chair Twomey asked Vice President Shuman to speak about this item.
Vice President Shuman stated that the University was asking for a resolution of approval, from this committee to the Board of Trustees, for the issuance of debt for approximately $20 million to partially finance the Student Union building – a project estimated to be between $48 and $51 million. She stated that this proposal met the debt management guidelines recently approved by the Board of Trustees.
Vice President Shuman discussed debt issuance and service, stating that the debt would be secured by a lien against the Activity and Service Fee revenues and would mature within 30 years after issuance. The debt would be sold through a negotiated sale with an underwriting firm that was selected in a competitive process in 2006. She stated that the meeting materials included a Sources and Uses Statement, along with a pro forma showing projections.
Vice President Shuman provided an overview of the new Student Union building, stating that the building would contain a business side and a recreational side, including approximately 148,000 square feet, with offices for student organizations, a student lounge area, a food court, conference and meeting rooms, a restaurant, retail spaces, a bookstore and other support facilities.
Committee Chair Twomey offered opportunity for discussion. Chair Taylor asked if there was an option to retire the debt before the 30-year period. Vice President Shuman stated that there would be provisions for this option within the bond issue, and language could also be added for a defeasance to add money to escrow for pay down if this was in the best interest of the University.
Committee Chair Twomey stated that it was important to recognize that the University was only borrowing 40 percent of the cost of the building, which was a very modest use of outside funding.
Vice President Shuman stated that additional costs above debt service would be used to cover the costs of maintenance, and to fund building improvements and renovations.
Committee Chair Twomey asked for a resolution of approval, from this committee to the Board of Trustees, for the issuance of debt for the Student Union building. The resolution was approved unanimously.
Committee Chair Twomey asked Vice President Shuman to speak about this item.
Vice President Shuman stated that because the debt management guidelines had not been met for student housing, meetings with the BOG were continuing. She planned to provide further information at the upcoming Board of Trustees Meeting.
Committee Chair Twomey asked for further discussion – upon receiving none, he adjourned the meeting.

Border assistance to Moldova and Ukraine
The EU Border Assistance Mission to Moldova and Ukraine (EUBAM) – fully funded by the EU and implemented by UNDP - contributes to the delivery of good quality border and customs services to the citizens and companies of Moldova, Ukraine and the European Union. Together with border guard and customs services of Moldova and Ukraine, the Mission facilitates people-to-people contacts, legitimate trade and security.
EUBAM supported record seizure of drugs
- Odessa sea port is a major gateway, providing access to the Ukrainian, Moldovan and Russian markets, and to EU member states. On 30 July 2010, the Ukrainian border services seized nearly 1,200 kg of cocaine there. 1,200 bricks, worth around EUR 140 million, were stashed in metal furnaces on a ship from Venezuela. EUBAM provided support before, during and after the seizure.
Launched at request of Moldova and Ukraine
EUBAM was launched in 2005 following a request made jointly to the European Commission by the presidents of the Republic Moldova and Ukraine. A range of illicit cross-border activity, including trafficking of human beings, smuggling and other illegal trade, was occurring along the 1,222 km-long Moldova/Ukraine border. The situation was further challenged by the secessionist region of Transnistria in Moldova (which lies adjacent to 454km of the same border), over which the government of Moldova has no control. As a result both countries were losing substantial amounts in revenue to organized crime.
EUBAM's role technical and advisory
EUBAM does not have executive powers, its role is purely technical and advisory to enhance the border-management capacities of our partners. EUBAM provides on-the-job training, technical assistance and advice to the Moldovan and Ukrainian border guard and customs services, reinforcing their capacity to tackle customs fraud, detect cases of smuggling and trafficking in human beings, and carry out effective border and customs controls and border surveillance.
EUBAM organizes study visits to EU member States to observe EU best-practice and engage in information exchange. The mission also encourages improved inter-agency cooperation and harmonization within each State, and on the cross-border level between the counterpart services of Moldova and Ukraine.
More than 5,200 staff members from partner services have improved their skills with the support of EUBAM's training on EU standards and best practice.
Sharing EU best practices
By offering comprehensive support to partners on EU best-practice from both its headquarters in Odessa and from six field offices on either side of the Moldova/Ukraine common border, EUBAM believes that border and customs procedures and standards in Moldova and Ukraine will ultimately mirror those present in the European Union.
With EUBAM assistance, the key border agencies of Moldova and Ukraine, as well as EU agencies such as FRONTEX, EUROPOL and OLAF, participate in regular Joint Border Control Operations (JBCOs). These have led to numerous detections of smuggling activities, irregular migration and customs fraud.

"Zero Visibility: The Sharingan Shatters" (視界ゼロの戦い・写輪眼崩し, Shikai Zero no Tatakai - Sharingan Kuzushi) is episode 15 of the original Naruto anime.
Kakashi reveals his Sharingan to Zabuza once again, but Zabuza claims he won't be fooled by the same jutsu twice. He explains that Haku observed Kakashi's Sharingan and discovered a way to counter it. Zabuza says that Haku's jutsu even surpasses his own. Inside the Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals, Naruto and Sasuke struggle against Haku's superior speed. After watching Haku counter Naruto's shadow clones, Sasuke begins to see Haku's movements. He uses Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique and manages to hit Haku, but Haku says his ice is stronger than Sasuke's fire.
Zabuza uses his Hiding in Mist Technique to negate Kakashi's Sharingan and claims that the next time Kakashi sees him will be as Kakashi dies by his hand. Zabuza vanishes, leaving Kakashi to anticipate his opponent's next move. Kakashi finally realises that Zabuza will strike at Tazuna and Sakura and rushes to intercept the attack. Zabuza makes his move, and Sakura screams.

The importance of having awesome product photography in an online store cannot be emphasized enough. If your products don't look great, they aren't going to sell. Furthermore, since your customers are shopping online, they don't have the advantage of being able to try out your product in person. They can't pick it up, feel its weight, try it on, touch its edges or give it a squeeze. Your product photos need to bring the customer as close to an in-person shopping experience as possible.
After you check out this gallery, follow these 6 simple steps to help improve your ecommerce product photography. If you're ready to start shooting your products, check out these two mini photo studios you can purchase to help you achieve professional looking photos.
Here are 14 Shopify stores that make great use of their product photography:

Awesome Ben! Great blog post idea.
May 30 2012, 01:16PM
Love it, great list.
May 30 2012, 02:28PM
Wow, great listing, Ben!
Can't be emphasized enough how important product pictures are, indeed!
May 30 2012, 02:44PM
Glad to see Deckster make the list. Their photos are simply beautiful.
May 30 2012, 03:12PM
Beautiful examples. I especially like the photos from ethnotekbags.com.
If you sell a lot of products – or drop ship them – you can tap your customers to get some great pictures. They likely won't be as professional, but depending on your niche this might necessarily not be a bad thing.
We sell a lot of vehicle accessories and having pictures of our products installed on a wide variety of vehicles is valuable to our customers, even though they aren't the most beautiful shots on earth. To get them, we offer incentives (contests, cash back) for submitting installation pictures and then use the best ones on our website.
May 30 2012, 05:36PM
Great examples. I'll be using some of these as inspiration when we take new pictures for our product relaunch.
I've really been wrestling with the decision between straight-forward product shots (against a white bg) versus 'in the wild' shots of a product in use. I'm planning on the later since our travel bags are very much designed for a particular lifestyle.
May 31 2012, 07:31AM
Very very good examples Ben! Photography makes all the difference between a store that sells and a store that's stale. Everyone should check out the photography section in Shopify's experts area. If that doesn't work there are almost always creative art college students who can improve a site's photographic impressions for a reasonable price.
May 31 2012, 02:53PM
Thanks for the mentioning us (Deckster), pretty great company to be in.
May 31 2012, 07:07PM
One of the first questions we ask new clients is about their photography. It really is half the battle in winning over customers once they are in your store.
June 01 2012, 09:32AM
Crazy that I made this list considering I took all my shots in an iphone! In natural light with no additional lights. As I as doing it, I was thinking: "I should be making a video tutorial of this." I used a tiny tripod and pieces of white paper to reflect the light. Would anybody like to see a video of this?

The Marks and Spencer's holiday TV commercial makes a splash in the UK every year with its playful fashion. But this year it's making waves for another reason: its inclusion of 4-year-old model Seb White, who has Down Syndrome. Little Seb looks holiday dapper in a cardigan and bow tie, and is the first model with Down Syndrome to be included in television ad for a major British brand.
It all started with Seb's mom, Caroline, fed up with the lack of representation for kids with disabilities, took to M&S's Facebook page to ask them to consider Seb as a model. Facebook fans rallied around the idea, and soon Seb was being called in for the holiday catalogue. He nailed the gig, and was then booked for the TV ad.
Plus: "My Special Needs Baby Taught Me How to Live
"Our initial involvement with Seb was due to the overwhelming response to Caroline's post on our Facebook page... However, he won his place in our TV ad thanks to the natural charm and magical personality he showed on set at our magazine shoot," Steve Sharp, executive director of marketing of Marks and Spencer, said.
Seb joins Valentina Guerrero and Ryan Langston, cuties with Down Syndrome who have appeared in ad campaigns in the US.
How does the inclusion of disabled models make you feel about a brand? Are you more likely to buy from them? Leave a comment.

If you live in an apartment in Lynchburg, VA you can really enjoy the fall weather and the foliage in Virginia. If you are in the mood for a great fall beef stew, here is the perfect recipe that adds a touch of Oktoberfest with Guinness beer too.
Beef and Guinness Stew
- 2 pounds stewing beef
- 3 tablespoons oil
- 2 tablespoons flour
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Pinch of cayenne
- 2 large onions, coarsely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 2 tablespoons tomato puree, dissolved in 4 tablespoons water
- 1 1/4 cups Guinness
- 2 cups largely diced carrots
- Sprig of fresh thyme
- Chopped parsley, for garnish
Trim the meat of any fat or gristle, and cut into 2-inch cubes. Toss beef with 1 tablespoon of the oil. In a small bowl, season the flour with salt, pepper and cayenne. Toss meat with seasoned flour. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over high heat. Brown the meat on all sides. Reduce the heat, add the onions, crushed garlic and tomato puree to the skillet, cover, and cook gently for 5 minutes. Transfer the contents of the skillet to a casserole and pour half of the Guinness into the skillet. Bring Guinness to a boil and stir to dissolve the caramelized meat juices on the pan. Pour over the meat, along with the remaining Guinness. Add the carrots and thyme. Stir and adjust seasonings. Cover the casserole and simmer over low heat, or in a 300 degree F oven until the meat is tender, 2 to 3 hours. Garnish the beef with parsley and serve.

UK Gov't Considering Requiring A 'Porn License' If You Want To Look At Porn Online
from the seriously? dept
Both of these highlight the key problems with the plan. Once you go down the path of censoring the internet, suddenly very, very big questions are raised about what gets put on the censorship list. It's easy to say "oh, well, porn is blocked," but something countless people (including judges) have struggled with over the years is how to precisely define porn. It's not nearly as easy as many people think. In nearly every case with filters we see a pattern: perfectly legitimate content that almost no one would consider to be porn gets blocked. And tons and tons of "porn" isn't blocked. Second, people will very, very, very quickly figure out how to get around such blocks.
The other issue, which doesn't come up as often, is the sheer ridiculousness of requiring people to effectively announce to the government that they want to view porn. They describe it as an "opt-in," but as I've said in the past, it's really more of a "porn license." People may have all sorts of reasons for looking at porn, but having to tell your government that you want to look at porn seems like a clear attempt to humiliate people for no reason other than that some in the government don't like the fact that others like porn.
If there's concern about kids viewing porn -- often the "think of the children!" justification that we hear -- there's nothing stopping parents from putting in place their own filters (which are likely to be as effective as any national filters). Why go further and try to block things for everyone?
