"There are some jobs Americans just will not do." - President George W. Bush.
I don't know about most folks but I find that statement disturbing. And it's not because I disagree with it or even take umbrage with the president for saying it. What I find unsettling is that it is most likely true.
President Bush made that startling revelation a week or so ago in remarks concerning illegal aliens, mostly from Mexico, coming into the United States to perform whatever manual labor they can find. That includes a lot of crop work, hoeing, picking and packing all manner of commodities. Illegal aliens and some with proper papers also tackle a lot of landscape and construction work that, apparently, most Americans are too good to perform.
I don't begrudge them the work. I don't begrudge them the mostly minimum wages they collect for doing it and I certainly don't begrudge them the opportunity to send a good chunk of that money back to Mexico (or wherever) to families that desperately need it. I've witnessed many of them at work and I've never seen anyone work harder, longer and with less complaints. They realize the value of sweat and muscle and are not ashamed to display either.
And that's what disturbs me: Has America lost its work ethic?
That's an easy question for me to pose, sitting here in a comfortable, air conditioned office, about 14 steps away from a coffee pot and a refrigerator stocked with food, soft drinks and bottled water. I'm not admitting that writing is easy work. Sometimes the words come through only after much anguish and wrinkled-brow efforts to construct a sentence that says exactly what I mean. (This one was particularly difficult, for some reason.)
But, even on the most stressful, deadline-looming, brain-muddled day, I'm not in the bottom of a 10-foot ditch, in 95-degree heat, shoveling and flinging hard-packed clay up to the ditch surface, wondering if the walls are going to cave in before I expire of heat stress. And I'm not stooping for 12 hours a day in a South Texas vegetable field, cutting, packing and loading crate after crate for less money than a lot folks make in a half hour.
But I would. And I have. Never spent that much time all at once in a vegetable patch, but that ditch image comes straight out of my summer job resume, along with 12-hour days hauling and stacking hay in a barn loft in the humid August environment of upstate South Carolina.
I'm not trying to brag about that. The point is, I needed those jobs to pay my way through school. I'd do that work again, had I the stamina left, before I'd allow anyone in my family to go hungry. When I was growing up work was assumed. It had to be done before we could go fishing, run off to the swimming hole or lie around under the shade reading about pirates, adventurers and detectives. My parents insisted on that.
We got no allowance. We earned our spending money, even when we were small. There were always peas to be picked, grass to be mowed, watermelons to be weeded.
I'm afraid that my generation, which didn't work nearly as hard as my parents' generation did, may be the last to have a strong work ethic ingrained into our psyches. I've tried to instill some of that in my children, with limited success.
Apparently, we, as a country, have had even less success in holding up honest, sweaty, hard work as something to be proud of instead of to be avoided at all costs. And that, I think, as much as anything going on in this country, indicates what kind of society we're becoming. We're degenerating into a people content to sluff our hard work onto those we assume, erroneously, to be of less value. But that gives us time to go to the gym, run marathons, and ride impotent bicycles in the comfort of our family rooms while we watch Desperate Housewives portray the lifestyles we covet.
We should be ashamed. And we should realize that there is no shame in hard work unless it is done badly.

Clemens/McNamee Hearing
Just watched the final two hours.
Clemens came off as an inarticulate, poorly-prepared, question-dodging, excuse-making dolt. He said the only one in his family who has used HGH was his wife. When asked about excessive B-12 injections, he blamed his mother.
He rambled through some patriotic pap about the WBC, said a former president had tracked him down in a Texas duck blind, and otherwise gave answers that bore no relation to the questions being asked. He said that Andy Pettitte and his wife has "misremembered" various conversations about Clemens and steroid use. He also admitted he has no idea what a "vegan" is.
For the most part, the Republicans attacked McNamee and were ultra-soft on Clemens, indulging in copious amounts of praise, though it was Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-District of Columbia) who assured Billy that "I'm sure you're going to heaven". Several of the more sycophantic Clemens admirers, including Virginia Foxx (R-North Carolina), came down for hugs from the pitcher after the hearing was over.
Many Democrats pushed Clemens on his dubious claims that his honest and God-fearing best friend Andy would repeatedly lie about him and his alleged steroid use.
Elijah Cummings (D-Maryland) was the hero of the day: "Mr. Pettitte said he had 'no doubt' about his recollection. ... Why would he tell Congress that one of his closest friends was taking an illegal performance-enhancing drug if there was any doubt in his mind? ... What possible reason would Mr. Pettitte have to fabricate a statement about you, his friend?"
Clemens: "Andy would have no reason to."
Most of Cummings's questions were along this line. He destroyed Billy.
McNamee's answers, for the most part, were short and to the point. He stumbled when he took offense to being called a "drug dealer"; he should have been contrite and added that if so, then Clemens was a "drug user".
Jayson Stark blogged the hearing.
New possible nickname for Clemens? The "palpable mass".

I got to watch large chunks of this as well (I was home "working"), and my impressions are similar to Allan's. Since when is baseball/steroid use a partisan issue with Republicans siding with Clemens and Democrats opposed? How odd. I found the idol worship sickening, especially from the NY rep (a woman, name is escaping me) who played on Roger's service to NY. And was Norton being facetious?? Her questions seemed pretty tough, but then she ended with the "heaven" remark.
I felt sorry for McNamee---he was being painted as the bad guy for lying and giving out drugs with Clemens being treated as the dumb but heroic victim. For the most part. And his lawyers made me ashamed to call myself a lawyer. Clemens' answers were so evasive and so obviously "prepared" by his lawyers.
I did love that he didn't know what a vegan is, and I also loved the whole dialogue about the expression, "It is what it is." It is one of Harvey's expressions---one that drives me crazy!

I'm totally biased against Fathead, but it was also pretty obvious. And for prepared answers, he was pretty bad at repeating them back. He's also not much of a reader, is he!
I did not hear Norton's comment, I only read it, so I don't know how she meant it. It could have been wildly sarcastic, I guess.
Nice to see Clemens leave the hearing practically arm-in-arm with (no, not his wife or his attorney), but one of the top Republicans on the committee. Campaign contributions clearly have their perks.

Also, Pettitte admitted to injecting himself with HGH at other times (2004) in addition to the two times he had previously stated.

I was perplexed by Norton's comment. It certainly was not clear she was being facetious, but given her general reputation and her questions, I cannot believe she was sincere.
- February 13, 2008 at 1:00 PM
- redsock said...
News story: "Pettitte said in the affidavit that he asked Clemens in 2005 what he would do if asked about performance-enhancing substances. Pettitte said Clemens responded by saying Pettitte misunderstood the previous exchange in 1999 or 2000 and that, in fact, Clemens had been talking about HGH use by his wife in the original conversation."
IT WAS MY WIFE! Right up there with I THOUGHT IT WAS THE BALL.
So Roger agrees that McNamee shot up Pettitte with HGH. Roger agrees McNamee shot up Knoblauch with HGH. Roger agrees McNamee shot up Debbie Clemens with HGH.
But when McNamee says he shot up Roger with HGH, well, he's lying.

I too am completely biased against Roger, a.k.a.Sluggo, and more so because his Texas lawyer orchestrated such ethically dubious stunts as the taped phone call with McNamee (an ethics violation in DC; only OK in Texas since 2006) and the ex parte lobbying of the committee members (outrageous, but not prohibited). Randy gave a post-hearing statement in which he actually said that the fact Sluggo was willing to testify before Congress under oath and risk perjury charges proved he was telling the truth. Of course, McNamee can say exactly the same thing.
I see Sluggo's defense as essentially the Jimmy Durante defense from "Jumbo" when he's caught trying to steal an elephant: "Elephant? What elephant?" If you just keep denying what is obvious, some people will end up believing you.
Why the Republicans were supporting Roger is a complete mystery to me. And the suck-ups from New york humiliated themselves.
Isn't this depressing?

I listened to the whole thing over the 'net. I'm not going to bother with a politically correct preamble about objectivity etc. Some things just make me shoot from the hip. Here's what I left with:
1. Clemens is still an over-bearing bully who thinks that his stature, money, star-power and hitching his wagon to "family values" party line will permit him to spin his way out of anything.
2. His friend Pettitte didn't back him up.
3. His family values were ok with taping a phone call with his accuser, lobbying with members of the committee, allowing his wife to be injected with HGH in his bedroom by his accuser and inviting a witness (the nanny) over to his house for a 'talk' a few days before the hearing (but he was just "Helpin' y'all out.").
4. The only quandry for me is deciding where more horse-shit came from, Fat Billy or certain members of Congress.

Norton's "heaven" comment was meant to be sarcastic. She had just finished a line of questioning as to why Clemens would stick with McNamee knowing he was dirty, offering amphetamines and HGH, etc. Clemens responded that he's a very trusting and forgiving person. That's why she said "you're going to heaven," if he is indeed that implausibly naive and innocent. Most commentators were puzzled by this statement, which is why legislators should not try to be comedians.

Just spoke with an attorney friend who agrees that Clemens has been advised that none of the evidence against him is conclusive enough to convict him of anything, including perjury, and that his best bet is just to deny, deny, deny.
Agreed, but if sportswriters can conclude McGwire was a steroid user from his evasive act before Congress, surely Clemens earned at least as much contempt by his performance today. Pettite's deposition---the fact that Knobloch and FB's pal confirmed all of McNamee's alegations about them---the slimy phone call gambit---the dishonest answers about discussing HGH---Clemens hates drugs but keeps a guy who surrepticiously (he says) injected his wife with HGH in his employment for years after---tampering with the nanny's testimony---the way Clemens moved his trainer from Toronto to NY---and especially the fact that Clemens has no explanation for why McNamee would lie just about him, while it is obvious why Clemens would lie to preserve his own reputation; all that PLUS what we already know about the character of the arrogant bully who has such "integrity" that he'd accept thousands of dollars worth of retirement gifts, including a car, while having no intention of really retiring; who dogged it, fat and out of shape, through a four year contract with the Sox, and then still insisted on being the highest paid pitcher in the game to stay with the team (which he said he aspired to stay with for his entire career, like "Ted Williams and Yaz"---right!); who claimed that he would only play in Boston or near his kids, and then signed with TORONTO...BAH!
There's no smoking gun and there's nothing that would get him convicted in court. But the hearing just confirmed everything I've thought about Roger Clemens for more than a decade. Thug. Creep. Liar.

Wow.......that seems highly unethical.......it begs to ask, are they telling him to lie or deny....? Because today was for real, he was under oath and if his attorneys advised him to deny, in this case lie, can't they be disbarred?
Or does it all just go away now, or do they build a case against him?

Was following this via the globe today at work...and what a load of crap this partisanship is on the issue. It's a non-partisan issue, why bring partisanship into it? I think Ds and Rs are so scared of going against the grain, and automatically do the opposite of what their counterparts do. As well, my general theory that the general population in this world perpetually getting stupider and stupider as each day goes by comes into play here.
But as for this case...I personally think that it's pretty clear that he has done steroids and is just trying to cover up. Of course, there isn't that "beyond a reasonable doubt" evidence and I doubt there ever will be.
But really, in the midst of all this malarky, I think we just need to sit back and think about how meaningless this is to the world. With everything going on, who cares if some fat bastard took needles in his bum? It's not like it's going to effect much, if anything, at least I don't think...oh well, it just makes for good entertainment.
And the hope of watching a con artist burn at the stake will always draw my attention....

Josh Levin from Slate on-line mag has a nice piece on this also - he was there, and just blown away that there seemed to be a party split on an issue like this - steroid use of all things.
These freaking politicians would argue 2 + 2 = 3 if the other side said 4. (Let's leave quantum physics out of the picture for now)
So the repugs side with the self-righteous, party supporting, grandoise, Texas good ol' boy.

Tim's comment is more than cynical; it's dangerous and wrong. Small corruptions clear the way for large ones; high-profile cheats in any sphere, but especially one as well-rewarded and and well-publicized as major league baseball,build support for cheating all the way down generational lines. Read the SI story about the father who started forcing his 12 year-old athlete son to take steroids. You really think the Clemens fiasco is irrelevant to that? Clemens achieving success by getting steroids shot into him affected other players' careers and income, pennant races and the world series.He was given money that would have gone to other people, that would have sent someone's kids to better colleges, or perhaps been given to important charities. Who succeeds and how affects many, many lives in micro, and societal values in macro.
The old "in the vast scheme of things, what difference does it make?" has been used to rationalize wrong and hurtful conduct for eons, but one would think its intellectual bankruptcy would be pretty obvious by now. Cultural values like honesty, integrity and trustworthiness die by inches, not yards, and guys like Clemens, gifted people who achieve success legitimately but are just greedy for more and who don't care who they step on, are like dry rot.
Go to Africa, where everybody cheats everyone and bribes are a way of life. The lawyers there (I was just at a conference) say that's the Number #1 reason why, despite human and natural resources galore, children are starving and the entire continent is stuck in a cycle of violence and stagnation.
This story isn't meaningless by a long-shot. In reality, its about as important as anything I can think of. Shrug off cheats and liars if you like, but you just make it harder for the rest of us to try to make society work fairly.

I was watching it live and saw the "heaven" comment, and agree with the other two comments that she was indeed being sarcastic. Like, "if you could forgive that, you're definitely going to heaven."
And in regards to the Tim/Jack marshall/ NOT Laura argument, like I've said before, if this Clemens thing is "silly and meaningless," why is the entire game of baseball, and us spending so much time talking about it--again, a bunch of people spending countless hours not running around after a little ball but TALKING about OTHER people who do--so meaningful.
I see what people like Tim mean, and I wouldn't vote for Congress to become a 24-hour baseball watchdog agency, but, still...

I remember that, Laura. Some day I'd really like the chance to discuss it in detail with you---something I that can't be done well in type---because I hear that frequently and can't understand how people reach such a conclusion.

Irrelevant? Pretty much. It's far too reductionist to draw such a distinct connection. That's the black & white crap the Repubs on the committee were blabbing about when they went after McNamee while wringing their hands about "the children".
What got the blame when parents did bad things to their children before there were handy, public scapegoats to point accusingly at?
- February 14, 2008 at 7:01 AM
- Jack Marshall said...
Big distinction between being relevant and being a "distinct connection," don't you think? I think it's pretty much beyond argument that the perception created by successful athletes like Bonds and Armstrong that steroids are the road to sports riches have something to do with encouraging young athletes to use them. That doesn't mean their parents can "blame" Clemens for their own bad conduct. It does mean that Clemens et al. share responsibility for creating an environment in which those decisions become more common.

Not really. You are talking about "the perception created by successful athletes like Bonds and Armstrong [and Clemens, I assume] that steroids are the road to sports riches", so there is an obvious connection/inference.
However, Clemens has never said that steroids helped him -- indeed, his comments (while we might think them silly and hypocritical) are that steroids ruin your body -- thus he has not given kids the idea of taking them and being successful.

But in my several years of intertubes travel, I've learned that no debate ever results in anything at all and it usually accumulates to a shitload of wasted time and energy for everyone involved.
So, I'm out of this thread. I've said my 0.02 and really don't feel like pissing away my long-weekend arguing on here. Spring training is finally here so we can focus on the important issues in baseball...such as, BASEBALL!!!!!

Kim Rhode's Outdoor Shooting Review
If you cringe at the thought of blowing up bunnies with RPGs and miniguns, then this game is definitely not for you. Seek out something a little more cuddly instead. But if you've got the steely nerve of a hunter, Kim Rhode's Outdoor Shooting is a game with massive artillery that packs quite a punch as far as entertainment value goes.
Shooting gallery hunting games are plentiful on the App Store, but Outdoor Shooting takes the genre to the next level by allowing you to freely roam around a variety of areas, including a farm and different forests. Each of these is quite large, and you will rarely come across a boundary. They also have their own location-specific game to hunt.
The buck stops here.
Outdoor Shooting also brings to the table some of the most outlandish (and, to the animals, cruel) weapons we've seen in a hunting game. Besides the standard pistol, shotgun, and rifle, you also have a chance to use an AK-47, RPG, and minigun.
All six weapons have their own strengths. For example, the rifle has a scope, the minigun can shoot lots of ammunition before reloading, and the RPG kills anything in its radius with one shot, including you. Some of this is overkill, as you can take down huge grizzlies with just your pistol.
One challenging aspect is that you can only bring one weapon with you at a time. Many players won't mind this, but we would have liked the ability to switch on the go.
There are some issues that diminished our enjoyment of this hunting game. The first is immediately noticeable in the screenshots and likely to put many players off: the graphics are not that good. While the draw distance is exceptional, the textures and 3D models look like blobs of color. It is possible to overlook the visuals if you enjoy the core gameplay, but considering the graphical power of some iPhone games, Kim Rhode's Outdoor Shooting doesn't hold up.
Say hello to my little friend!
Our other major gripe is that the animals have very little sense of their surroundings. Many times we were able to step right in front of them and kill them on the spot, taking a bit of the fun out of the hunting experience. This also makes the game too easy.
Even with no campaign mode, our interest was held for hours by unlockable maps, weapons, and achievements. Plus, the game is surprisingly entertaining, as long as making BBQ steak out of deer with the help of your handy RPG doesn't offend you. For an entertaining afternoon hunting, try loading up Outdoor Shooting.

Awesome, I actually started using z-index on a couple projects recently. It really doesn't make sense to merge a bunch of separate "objects" in Photoshop just to keep stacking order and visual effects. Too bad about that transparency… it can be tough matching colors with 8-bit and matteing.
I'm glad to see others using the concepts. And while I probably won't be using the Karova site anytime soon I'm glad it was built so "progressively." Hooray IE7!! (though I hate IE in general) ;)

Ina's lemon bars (by way of Smitten Kitchen)
15 comments:
Is that pretty or what? Ina's recipes are great then tweked by a superblog, made even better.ReplyDelete
This is just kind of dessert that I eat right over the kitchen sink.
Nothing better than an Ina recipe. I'll have to try Deb's version. We adore lemon bars and they freeze amazingly well. I made a new one recently with a rosemary crust. Liked it best of all.ReplyDelete
Velva: That is exactly how I ate several of these bars...ReplyDelete
Barbara: I've never tried freezing them--but what a good idea! Even a half recipe was kind of a lot for two people.
Have I ever eaten lemon bars? I don't think so. Must try.ReplyDelete
And, btw, you asked about dogs on the Tennessee Valley trail - the signs say "no dogs" but every time I have walked that trail, I have seen dogs with their owners. On leash is a good idea as there really are bobcats and the occasional cougar out there.
- AnonymousFebruary 7, 2012 at 2:47 PM
I am always looking out for the ULTIMATE lemon bar! I made Ina's before but wasn't sure I liked the flour quantity. I was using one from Gourmet magazine/Sara Moulton with a large amount of lemon but recently switched to an Emily Luchetti recipe with even MORE lemon! And always a Martha recipe for the crust. But may have to try this now (ie. really just looking for an excuse to make/eat lemon bars!) - PeteReplyDelete
Zoomie: never had a lemon bar? My goodness. YOu must remedy this. Thanks for the follow up on the TV trail--we shall check it out!ReplyDelete
Pete: Well, I really liked these, but I'm not super picky about lemon bars. As long as the crust is good and the filling not overly sweet, I'm basically satisfied. These are better than all the other ones I've made though.
Oh boy, I've had a bunch of Meyer lemons in my kitchen this past week. Now I have to make this! Although, have to say, I love lemons so I may not make the thinned out layer, and may go full hog on the lemon to crust ratio. (2 to 1 for me!) Thanks for the reminder about lemon bars. I love them! Bette's Ocean Diner makes the best, more cake like, and I've been looking for a recipe in that range for awhile but no luck. :(ReplyDelete
I don't eat dessert, but I adore lemon bars. And I've got a little Meyer bush full of ripe specimens. Do the math. :)ReplyDelete
Thanks for your report; the tweaks make it sound like a recipe that would work for me.
Ben: Give the recipe a go, and if you do, let me know how you like the full-lemon version. I am sure it is delicious!ReplyDelete
cookie: no dessert? I don't understand...
Yeah... No sweet tooth. It's silly, but it keeps me thin!ReplyDelete
I love how you inspire me to try new things. I'm attempting these for the first time to serve after a port tasting evening tomorrow. We're also dishing out the favorite cardamom cookies with Strauss vanilla ice cream. Yum. Thanks for always keeping me inspired and pushing my baking comfort zone!ReplyDelete
cookie: I guess that would the upside!ReplyDelete
ash: Oh, you're sweet. Thank you! Let me know if you like how the lemon bars turn out. xo
Same here, I don't really read the other superblogs but I have definitely tried my hand at a few SK recipes that always turn out really well. The lemon bars look lovely and luscious :)ReplyDelete
Thanks, shaz!ReplyDelete

|Restaurant on the left
Gas Station on right
Some of the other customers included citrus farm laborers. At noon the workers would leave the orange tree fields and go to my grandmothers for lunch. The plantation owner wasn't too happy that his workers were spending the salaries he paid them paying his neighbor not only for lunch but also purchasing gasoline for their automobiles. My great grandfather, Emond, ran a gasoline repair business that sat on the same property.
So the good business owner built not only a lunch room but a gas station as well on his property. Then told his workers they must buy their lunch and gasoline there. Seems to me he wanted the salary he paid them put back into his pockets.
The question is "Why did the laborers do what they were told?"

The 1933 Goudey Baseball Card Set is recognized as the first important gum release. America was deep in the depression in 1933 and kids did not have many pennies to spend. For a product to get that penny, there had to be value. The Goudey Gum Company of Boston launched its revolutionary "Big League Gum" product.
The 1933 Goudey Baseball Cards were printed on thick cardboard stock, with bright colorful pictures and came with a nice big slab of gum. They were a great improvement over the smaller, thinner cardboard tobacco and candy cards that preceded them. It is important to remember that 1933 Goudey cards were the first color portraits of these stars that most people ever saw.
The Goudey Gum Company tried hard to give the customers what they wanted. The greatest stars of the game had multiple cards. There are 4 different 1933 Goudey Babe Ruth cards and #144 Ruth was double printed. The 1933 Goudey Baseball card set also has three cards of Joe Cronin and two cards each of Jimmy Foxx, Lou Gehrig, Rogers Hornsby, Carl Hubbell and Mel Ott.
Dean's Cards has a great selection of 1933 Goudey baseball cards. If you can not afford the original Goudey cards, please check out the 1933 Goudey Baseball Card Reprint set.
