Denver fans showed more TV loyalty to their Broncos than Baltimore fans did to the Ravens in Thursday night's NFL opener.
The 49-27 pounding by the Broncos was seen in 43.9 percent of the TV homes in Denver, while 37.6 of the homes in Baltimore were tuned to the game. And the game was played in Denver, which means the most devoted fans were in the stadium not at home in front of their TVs.
Denver was the highest-rated market followed by Baltimore with Indianapolis third (must have been Manning and all those former Colts on the field).
That 37.6 rating means Thursday's game does not even rank among the Top 10 regular season Ravens games since Local People Meters were introduced here.
See that list here.
A bad night all around for Baltimore Ravens fans.
UPDATE 4:55 p.m. Friday: Nationally, the telecast was seen by 25.1 million viewers, a 5 percent increase over last year. It was the third largest audience in the 12-year history of the "Kickoff Game."

Alcohol Involved In Crash That Killed 4
MONTGOMERY (AP) - The Minnesota State Patrol says alcohol was a factor in a crash that killed four people in Le Sueur County last month.
The patrol says both drivers killed in the crash had been drinking before they collided near Montgomery Sept. 27.
Investigators say the driver of the SUV that crossed the center line, 51-year-old Condon Hulgan, had a blood alcohol content of .214, more than twice the legal limit to operate a vehicle. The crash killed Hulgan and his 11-year-old stepdaughter.
The driver of the other vehicle, 22-year-old Jeffery Miller, had a blood alcohol content of .032, below the legal limit of .08. Miller and a passenger in his Mercedes were killed. Miller's brother, Mark, was injured in the crash, but survived.

Medical claims costs could jump 32 percent nationally by 2017 for individual policies under the Affordable Care Act health care law, according to a study released recently by the Society of Actuaries.
While some states will see medical claims costs slump, the study by the group of financial risk analysts found that 43 states will see increased premiums in their individual health insurance market, where people purchase health insurance on their own.
The research estimates that of the 52.4 million Americans who would not have had health insurance, about 32.4 million will gain coverage if all provisions of the Affordable Care Act are implemented next year.
The Affordable Care Act's impact on costs has been a major issue since the law was passed in 2010 and has remained contested just months before the new health insurance markets roll out on Oct. 1.
In Tennessee, the study found that individual health care premiums could gain 46.4 percent by 2017 as more people join the individual health insurance pools. A separate model found that individual health premiums in Tennessee would rise by 43.4 percent without the Medicaid expansion.
In states like Alabama, the research predicted a 60.3 percent increase, while states like New Jersey can anticipate a 1.4 percent decline in premium costs.
Officials in some states and the Obama Administration disputed the analysis, saying it was based on flawed data and design. Critics also said the Society of Actuaries study left out key cost relief strategies such as tax credits to help people purchase policies and the possible price-cutting impact of increased competition. The study also did not fully model the differing results from states that decide to expand Medicaid, and those like Tennessee, which have declined the law's Medicaid expansion.
The pricing disparities between states are complex, but the Society of Actuaries report said, on average, states that will see large increases generally have low current individual costs, and those showing decreases have high current individual costs. Other state-by-state disparities can be attributed to Medicaid expansion, whether or not the state sponsored a separate high-risk pool, demographics, income level difference, and current underwriting practices.
–Kristi Bohn, Consulting health staff fellow at the Society of Actuaries
Geoffrey Lindsey, an attorney with Rainey, Kizer, Reviere and Bell PLC in Memphis, says previous Tennessee laws allowed denials for pre-existing conditions and pricing disparity for other factors like age.
"You can see that the underwriting we've been dealing with in Tennessee has been totally different than the underwriting that has been going on in blue states," he said.
The Affordable Care Act restricts insurers from denying coverage to Americans with pre-existing health conditions and varying premiums based on an individual's health status. To help with rising costs from adding sicker people to the individual insurance market pools, the new law provides premium and cost-sharing subsidies for lower-income Americans. Individuals who do not purchase health insurance coverage will pay a tax penalty. Employers with more than 50 employees who do not offer coverage also will pay a fine.
The Society of Actuaries report did not make estimates for employer or group plans, which provide the majority of coverage in the U.S. That's because people who don't have health care coverage at their jobs will be the most impacted by the Affordable Care Act. The majority of those individuals will be required to purchase insurance through individual health insurance markets.
The study anticipates that the size of the individual market will more than double, an increase driven in part by people who are below 200 percent of the federal poverty line joining the market.
"This group of people are considered to be 'good risks' and are generally expected to bring down average costs," said Kristi Bohn, a consulting health staff fellow at the Society of Actuaries. "But other changes in composition of the individual market will more than offset these lower costs, and in fact, will drive average costs up."

The announcement of the 2013 Hall of Fame class was great news for seven men, but several others were left to wait at least one more year before they could schedule a fitting for a yellow blazer.
Former Giants defensive end Michael Strahan was one of those left without a ticket to Canton on Saturday. His credentials for enshrinement are very strong, leading some to call his omission from this year's list a snub but Strahan was a bit more philosophical about it when he spoke to Bob Glauber of Newsday after the announcement.
"I'm honored to be in the top 10, and I look at it like I'll get in eventually," Strahan said. "I'm blessed. I have so many things going on right now, so this is just a delayed blessing. It'll eventually happen. I don't define myself by what I do, so if I don't get in, I'm not going to yell, scream and pout. It wasn't meant to be."
Strahan also pointed out that getting elected to the Hall next year would allow him to celebrate the honor at a Super Bowl in the stadium that's a few hundred yards from his old stomping grounds in East Rutherford, New Jersey. That would make for a nice setting, although we're reminded every year not to start inducting someone until the votes have actually been counted.

Carrie meets Porky's as Charles in Charge co-stars Scott Baio and Willie Aames re-team for this mischievous-minded teen comedy about a hormonal high school science student suddenly bestowed with telekinetic powers. Emerson High School genius Barney Springboro (Baio) has a keen understanding of the periodic table of the elements, and a curious knack for experimentation. One day, while Barney is conducting a particularly sensitive experiment in horticulture, the lab is suddenly set ablaze, and his dreams appear to go up in flames. But any scientist will tell you that some of the best discoveries appear from the ashes of failure, and when Barney realizes that he now possesses the power of telekinesis his high school life suddenly becomes a lot more interesting. Of course the jocks don't stand a chance against a geek who can knock out a home run with the power of his mind, and as Barney's hormones take hold the skirts begin to flip and the tops begin to pop. Now, as the senior prom draws near, Barney does his best to land a date for the dance as his horrified parents put in a call to the local exorcist, his best friend Peyton (Aames) joins in on the fun, and a local reporter attempts to break the biggest story this small town has ever known. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Dearest Gigi,ReplyDelete
Well, the baseball part is something we didn't grow up with so you left me behind on that one. Summer bliss and the perfect days leading up to it, that is something one would love to frame and hold on to!
Lots of love,
Hey Gigi, love your beautiful, dreamy image and your thoughts on summer and baseball ... but can I just say, SusanReplyDelete
Sarandon, Kevin Costner, bathtub scene? That is why I would watch that movie 108 times!!
Haha! Yes, the bathtub scene is pretty awesome--all those candles! Sigh. I just love that movie.ReplyDelete
Baseball is still a mystery to me, but I did love that movie!ReplyDelete
Great picture. Really lovely.
Aw, the ROMANCE!! Beautiful post, Gigi. Growing up, it was only ever in movies for me, but it feels as real as anything!ReplyDelete
I get it! :-)
well, you know me. it just doesn't get any better than baseball. summer sprawls in front of us, indeed just like a baseball game - no idea when it will end, only sure of the beginning. that's always been one of my favorite parts - it ends when it's over, not just because a buzzer goes off. many's the year summer extended into october here in texas, and that's always the way i like it best.ReplyDelete
Gigi- That photo IS the dream of summer! So beautiful.ReplyDelete
I remember stopping by the Sea Dogs stadium (the old Hadlock Field) soon after the team was formed. I didn't see a game but I loved the feel of that stadium. My husband has a Sea Dog T shirt that's starting to shred, but he still wears it.
Summer is grand, all right. Being seated in the grandstands makes it that much sweeter. ;)
I do so remember a summer long ago just as you describe here. Baseball, corn on the cob, watermelon, and that first boyfriend. Oh you have brought back a summer I will never forget. Warm sultry evenings and laughing.ReplyDelete
Wow, when we were kids summer was so full of adventure and excitement - it just went on forever. Now, it can so easily just turn into another season.ReplyDelete
Your beautiful post servers as a reminder of all the promise summer can still hold - we just need to go out and savor it!
Lovely days, indeed!
Your photo is beautiful Gigi! As for baseball, it's not huge in my part of Canada...especially since our hockey team is in the Stanley Cup finals. Finally.ReplyDelete
Hope all is well in your world!
You sound like my husband on the poetry of baseball. Ilove it.ReplyDelete
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous photo!ReplyDelete
i love a good baseball game!ReplyDelete
all the trimmings too, a good hot dog, a cold beer, and the excitement in the stands...it is just FUN!
Baseball is my favorite sport to watch or listen to too....maybe because my father loved it so much...maybe because I love the slow pace of it...and the sound of the announcer's voice...and those Red Sox and PawSox...ReplyDelete

There is no instant mysticism, John Main said. But, then he went on, there is the infinite love of God welling up in our hearts and that is more than enough.
This puts very well both what we have to let go of – our impatience and the demands or expectations that we carry into our meditation each time. And also it says what we who truly seek will surely discover in our own experience if we truly do the work of letting go.
Most of us start off well on this journey, ready for absolute renunciation in the time of meditation. But then we slow down wanting to put some more clauses in the contract that we think we signed too hastily. But, the more demands and expectations we have the harder it is to meditate. After many mistakes it dawns on us that renouncing in order to get something in return isn't real renunciation. This doesn't mean we can't make some real progress even when we still have mixed motives and flawed practice. If it meant that we'd all be pessimistic perfectionists. But instant gratification it isn't. The 'atom of time' that the Cloud says the work takes, however, is the present moment.
Because of this, our disappointments and let downs, our periodic waning of enthusiasm and our false starts and relapses are all immensely useful and positive. The times we are sure we're going to do well and we botch it are windows of opportunity for discovering better what we are actually seeking. Happily accepted and put to work, the energy of disappointment becomes transformed into renewed commitment. The hope for instant results dissolves into the daydream it is. And then the full experience of love's meaning at the core of our being surges forward and carries us away. Turning defeat into progress is not a passing trick of the motivational speaker.
Learning to meditate is the simple effect of enduring the debunking of our illusions and adapting to a wholly new way of seeing.

Announcing The Official 2011 Superpark® Video Showdown Brackets
Welcome to the Official 2011 Superpark® Video Showdown presented by Gatorade Brackets. This interactive contest is a bi-weekly video faceoff where two Superpark® 15 edits from this past Spring at Mt. Bachelor, OR go head-to-head with the victor being decided by you the snowboardermag.com visitor. The entry which receives the most Facebook "Likes" each round advances. The videos will be posted side by side on snowboardermag.com and each will have its own Facebook "Like" button attached to it for voting.
All told there are 16 filmmakers in contention, each with hopes of advancing all the way to the end of the brackets, where they will receive the $5,000 grand prize courtesy of Gatorade. The 2011 Superpark® Video Showdown begins Sunday the 12th of June, 2011 and continues until the first week of July with two Showdowns taking place each week until we arrive at the best edit from Superpark® 15 as decided by you.
Week 1 Wrapup:
The first full week of the 2011 Superpark® Video Showdown presented by Gatorade is now completed and we have two film crews advancing to the quarterfinals where they will face off against each other on July 10th, 2011. In this first matchup, a majority of snowboardermag.com viewers didn't "Like" Think Thank's down-to-earth entry which used over-the-top editing to highlight some
low impact antics. In turn, Canada's NuuLife produced more "Likes" than a Valley Girl spotting Scott Baio backstage at a Go-Go's concert in '82. The second Showdown of Week 1 put the high-falutin' skills of RC Aerial Cam with their remote control heli against Bend local Sam Tuor. Despite producing some of the most dramatic imagery of Superpark® 15, the snowboardermag.com faithful found RC's music "unlikeable" and gave their approval en masse to Sam Tuor and his choice of Motorhead for the score.
Week 2 Wrapup:
Week 2 of the 2011 Superpark® Video Showdown presented by Gatorade has concluded and two more film crews are moving on to face off in the next round starting on July 13th, 2011. The first bout of the week had the cameramen of Don't Sleep Productions following the Triple Based boarders of Bataleon as they hipped and hopped around Mt. Bachelor to the beat of Gangsta Rap wannabe's CB4. Despite rockin' like Chris Rock DBK, Kyle Lopiccolo, Gulli Gudmundson and the Bataleon gang couldn't trump Wildcard. With an eclectic crew of Superpark standouts Wildcard stacked the deck and
laid down the best tricks of the entire event in a tight, action packed edit. The latter faceoff of Week 2 was equally as compelling with Superpark veterans Sandbox paired up with newcomers Keep The Change. While Sandbox
like Bataleon before them kept their edit focused on a tight crew, Keep The Change not only opened up their roster to include anyone who was throwing down but they also took the risk of allowing viewer fatigue by doing a two-song submission. Ultimately it appears that the gamble paid off as Keep The Change garnered more "likes" than Sandbox and has been kept in contention for the $5,000 overall title of the 2011 Superpark® Video Showdown presented by Gatorade.
Week 3 Wrapup:
Another weekly bracket of the 2011 Superpark® Video Showdown presented by Gatorade has come to an end and two more film crews are advancing to the next round starting on July 17th, 2011. This week commenced by pitting The House against Quiksilver. The narrated and clean approach of The House was no match for Trent Ludwig's highly stylized Quiksilver offering. After failing to advance out of the first round in last years Showdown Tommy Little's YKWII came to Bachelor with camera's in hand looking for redemption. The YKWII partnership with Ride Snowboards at Superpark®15 garnered more recognition than the rookie entry by Big Boulder Park's Videographer Trip Brown.
Week 4 Wrapup:
The first month of the 2011 Superpark® Video Showdown presented by Gatorade is now complete and another duo of Superpark® 16 documenters have proven themselves dominant. On Sunday July 3rd the eco-forward Arbor filmers entered the Showdown arena against the enigmatic Mystery District digi-camers. There was no half-steppin' in the Arbor edit as one-footers, gap to lipslides and various other keepers clicked with the voting clique. To say LCQ longshots Sentury were underdogs is an understatement. Going up against the auteur behind 9191, one of SNOWBOARDER's top 3 videos of the year for 2010 is a daunting prospect for any Showdown producer. These last minute entrants gave it the college try though, but Jake Price and Veeco crushed it.
Week 5 Wrapup:
In the first matchup of the quarterfinals all eyes were on 2010 Showdown 2nd placers Nuulife to take one step closer to redemption. Apparently Nuulife's adversary, Bachelor local Sam Tour, had different plans. While both edits exuded character and next level skills were on display the Canadian Nuulife crew couldn't usurp Sam Tour's Tour De Force. The latter part of Week 6 saw the most heated heat of this years Showdown. It was the Northwest versus the Northeast as Jeremy Dubs Wildcard films faced off against Colton Feldman's Keep The Change. Despite technical difficulties at the onset and a restart happening 36 hours into the matchup, both productions mobilized their supporters en masse. Once the polls closed over 2600 people had weighed in to show their support for their respective scenes. Ultimately it came right down to the wire and though Keep The Change took the win, both edits deserve mad respect.
Week 6 Wrapup:
With a month and a half of matchups concluded the 2011 Superpark® Video Showdown presented by Gatorade continues to build momentum with the average number of votes cast in each round continuing to climb. Early in Week 6 we saw YKWII and Ride faceoff against Trent Ludwig and the Quiksilver team. Ultimately Quiksilver edged ahead of YKWII by just 28 "likes." The final pairing of the quarterfinals was one of the most anticipated contests to date. The illustrious Arbor team including current Superpark Standout Scott Vine and 2009 Gatorade Go All Day recipient Chelone Miller dueled against Veeco Productions Jake Price and the esteemed Volcom Stone squad. While both videos included cameos by Shawn Farmer the rest of the action couldn't have
been more different. The spontaneous shooting regimen of Jake Price ultimately eclipsed the stylized set up shots of Arbor. That said both edits were awesome and each one's ender were definite highlights of Superpark® 16.
Here's the official list of video producers who'll be competing in the Superpark Video Showdown.
1. NuuLife Cinema
2. Think Thank
3. RC Aerial Cam
4. Sam Tour

New Tasting Rules at Liquors Hasegawa
here (in Japanese) and my good friend Eric over at the Malty Moments blog took the trouble to translate them for us. Basically, tasting is now only possible when it is in the context of helping you decide what to purchase, with a limit of 2 samples at a time (and 5 a day, for which you'd have come back a few times on the same day, I guess). The new rules will come into effect on April 20th, the first day of Whisky Live.
6 comments:
My comment is not really linked to these new tasting rules (which seems fair to me by the way) but is there an equivalent to Liquors Hasegawa in Osaka ?
Or at least a good liquors store in Osaka with more choice than the classical Suntory whiskies?
- April 18, 2013 at 9:50 PM
- Stefan said...
Not really. There are plenty of good bars there, but in terms of liquor shops it's a bit of a wasteland, to be honest. I visit Osaka a few times a year and so far I haven't found anything that even comes close to the top liquor shops in Tokyo.
- April 18, 2013 at 9:57 PM
- Niels Viveen said...
Stefan, that wine/whisky store behind chrysta and the LV store is decent enough. Not awesome, but decent.
- April 18, 2013 at 10:19 PM
Thank you Stefan for your quick answer... which unfortunately confirms what I have seen through my Internet research prior to my visit in Osaka next week...
Niels Viveen, where is located that decent wine/whisky store? Do you have the name of that store?
My goal is to find some Mars Maltage but also the Kirin Sanroku and my feeling is that this is going to be pretty hard...
- April 18, 2013 at 11:01 PM
- Stefan said...
The store is called "Bon Repas" and it is basically an import food/drinks store (wine, cheese, ham, a bit of whisky - including the most foul Japanese whisky you'll ever come across). They had a decent selection of whiskies years ago, but basically, they stopped "updating" it. Friends of mine who live in Osaka told me that the selection is such now that when they go there (and these people are maltfreaks!) they usually leave the store with cheese and Belgian beer.
In Japan, the reality is that most people usually buy whisky on the internet and have it delivered to their house (which is often free).

The stipulation on buying is fair: maybe precharge people a deposit of a few thousand yen. Two at a time is too few, and nonsensical with five in a day.

Casey Drucquer, a spokeswoman for Greene Street Consignment, confirmed that the company would be moving into the storefront at 8524 Germantown Ave., a site formerly occupied by Chestnut Hill Yoga.
Drucquer said the owner, Lynne Mastrilli, a former Chestnut Hill resident, recently moved back to Chestnut Hill.
"She loves the community feeling of Chestnut Hill," she said. "It was just a natural progression to opening our seventh location, and we are thrilled to be here."
In 1990, Greene Street opened its first consignment store on Lancaster Avenue in Bryn Mawr. Since then, the company has opened stores in Lambertville, Princeton, West Chester, Manayunk and South Street in Philadelphia.
"Greene Street is not your typical consignment store," Drucquer said. "When you walk in, people just don't 'get it.' – meaning that it is such a clean, bright, well-organized, boutique-feeling store, they think it is a new [clothing] store. We are very particular about the items we consign – all items need to be two years new and in excellent condition.
Drucquer said Greene Street was also a store where the term "one size fits all" really doesn't exist.
"It makes us different from most," she said. "We take items from 'Gap to Gucci' in sizes S-XL. All styles, sized, make it a one-stop shop for the mother or father in Chestnut Hill and their children. Consigning at Greene Street is very easy as well, I think people appreciate that you don't need an appointment to consign with us. We offer a 40 percent commission on all items that are sold. So, it is a great way to make money on items you would never wear."
So, has Drucquer ever bought anything from Greene Street Consignment?
"Of course, as a pricer at all locations, I have a hard time not buying a lot everyday," she said. "My favorite item was a beautiful pair of vintage leather Frye boots that I wear all the time with jeans or sundresses. It's that one-of-a-kind item that you never know what you will find every single day you walk into a Greene Street."
While the merchandise varies from store to store, Greene Street usually carries designer brands such as Gucci, Diane Von Furstenberg, Prada, Tory Burch, Louis Vuitton, Drucquer said.
"We also get in a lot of Anthropologie, one-of-a-kind designer labels, which I personally love since the labels are usually priced high, it is such a bargain to find," she said.
Besides obtaining merchandise from consignors, the company also purchases new accessories seasonally from wholesalers in New York, she said.
Why should people shop at Greene Street Consignment store?
"I really think people love getting a bargain," Drucquer said. "Our items are in excellent condition. The merchandise is easy to find and organized. Not to mention when you consign with us no appointment is necessary, which is not the normal procedure."
For those who have never shopped at a consignment shop, Drucquer said, "I would tell them to get their idea of a consignment store out of their head and 're-think' what your idea is."
"Nothing smells, everything is clean and steamed before it gets put on the floor," she said. "We professionally tag and secure each item. Merchandise is arranged by size and style. We pride ourselves on being very organized and neat, not too bunched together and easy to look through. And all stores have changing rooms."
The owners of Greene Street Consignment also recently opened Greene Street Animal Rescue. The shelter was "a dream for Lynne and her sister, Donna," Drucquer said.
"It is a 14-acre farm in Chester County," she explained. "Since the opening a few months ago, they have taken in 11 dogs, which normally would have been euthanized. Our Greene Street stores will help to fund the rescue, in addition to tax-deductible donations that we welcome from the public."

kathryn alexander needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 187 designs submitted by 66 freelance designers.
Smart Patient (sub-text: your voice, your choice)
Smart Patient refers to a growing number of people with chronic disease who have realised that in order to get the best value from the health system and to realise their own aspirations, they have to take greater self-control. This brand will represent the emerging recognition that of all the parties involved in the treatment of the 40% of population that are now drug-dependent, the expert patient offers the best value and most hope to generate wellness.
Any person from any part of the world who has a chronic condition (such as asthma, arthritis, autoimmune conditions, cardiovascular disease, cancer etc.) or who is caring for somebody with a chronic condition.
Typically, they are people who are looking for greater self-determination because of their age group (younger people distrust the medical system), they are dissatisfied with the health system or they are part of one of the new communities of common interest groups associated with their particular condition.
The logo needs to convey the characteristics of the smart patient community that will provide a practical methodology that enables them to define where they want to go and how to get there:
"The road map teaches you how to make informed decisions about your health with confidence. It allows you to take a step back and look at all your options and their outcomes to see if they match up with your personal desired endpoint. It gives you the courage to ask your practitioner questions so that you can take the reins of your life and no longer live in the dark. By weighing up the pros and cons of each treatment, it makes it easier to choose which one suits you and enables you to tailor your own pathway dependent on your lifestyle and values." ER, Australia
It needs to convey the level of hope and excitement that through the sharing of the knowledge of what works (from a clinical perspective) many people throughout the world are already turning their lives around by making smarter, informed decisions.
Please bombard me with as many questions that you like and I will provide immediate responses and links to any additional information.
I have no particular preference or logo to offer as a basis (sorry) other than I intend I intend to trademark the logo so it's probably wise to incorporate the words Smart Patient in the design to help distinguish the words themselves.

49ers WR Crabtree suffers torn Achilles
Santa Clara, CA – San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Michael Crabtree tore his Achilles tendon during organized team activities Tuesday and underwent surgery on Wednesday.
The 49ers do not expect the injury to be season-ending.
"Surgery was successful and we do not anticipate it will be season-ending for Michael," said 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh on the team's website. "It was completely torn and it was completely repaired."
Crabtree enjoyed a breakout season last year, finishing with 85 catches for 1,105 yards and nine touchdowns.
Originally selected 10th overall in the 2009 draft, Crabtree has caught 260 passes for 3,345 yards and 21 touchdowns in 58 career games with the 49ers.
With Crabtree sidelined, Anquan Boldin, acquired in a trade with the Ravens in March, becomes San Francisco's No. 1 wide receiver. Mario Manningham and Kyle Williams are both coming off serious knee injuries.

Okay, pure horse-race politics here. It's just three days away (finally) and it's time to put my chips on the table. Here's my predictions for Tuesday night. I may be hysterically wrong, or prophetic, but's that's the fun of predicting, right?
- Obama-Biden 379 EVs
- McCain-Palin 159 EVs
- Turnout: 130,000,000 votes
- 70,000,000 Obama
- 60,000,000 McCain
- or Obama 54%-46% (neglecting third parties)
State-by state results:
Obama keeps all the other Kerry states and wins the "battleground" states of: FL, NC, VA, GA, OH, PA, MI, WI, MN, IA, MO, CO, NM, NV
GA is my long-shot pick. CW is it's out of reach, but turnout there may surprise us. Obama has made plays for IN, WV, AZ, and has a chance at LA, MT and the Dakotas, but I predict all of those will narrowly stay in the McCain column.
Here's my predicted map:
Dem 58
Rep 42
This includes Lieberman and Sanders in the Dem caucus, for the sake of argument.
Dem Pickups:
- VA Warner (open)
- NH Shaheen (Sununu)
- NM Udall (open)
- CO Udall (open)
- AK Begich (Stevens)
- OR Merkley (Smith)
- NC Hagan (Dole)
Let's say a net Dem pickup of 20 seats for a Congress composed of 256 Dem to 178 Rep. That's a conservative estimate, but there have been a few setbacks in the House races recently. A big Obama night could conceivably run the Dems up to as much as 270 seats. That really would require running the table.
The cool map up there is courtesy of the Daily Kos Political Scoreboard. I don't care if you think DKos is a bunch of lefty haters, you've got to go check out the scoreboard. It's the coolest toy ever for a political junkie. You can of course play with the EV map, but you can also drill down to the state level, graphically looking at county-by county results, or individual congressional district results historically, all of which will be updated in real time on Tuesday. It's very very cool. Also, 538.com has a wealth of data on the current state of the races, and NBC's political guru Chuck Todd has a nice state-by-state walkthrough as well.
Okay, there it is. Now you all know that I am terribly, terribly wrong. Tell me where, and why. And be nice about it. We're all grown-ups here.

PALOS VERDES ESTATES — As a former world No. 1 looked on Tuesday, the Corona del Mar and Palos Verdes High boys' tennis teams battled for No. 2.
Two-time U.S. Open winner Tracy Austin has a son on the Palos Verdes team; Dylan plays doubles for PV. Austin made sure she spread around the love, voicing words of encourangement to all of the Palos Verdes players during the nonleague match.
Palos Verdes won seven singles sets and did enough in doubles to defeat CdM on games, 79-70, after the teams tied with nine sets apiece. Palos Verdes (11-0), ranked No. 3 in the CIF Southern Section Division I coaches' poll, appears likely to take the No. 2 spot of CdM (13-3) when the new poll is released next week.
Both squads are named the Sea Kings, but that was really where the similarities stopped. Corona del Mar has a stronger doubles lineup. Last year in the Division I quarterfinals, CdM swept Palos Verdes in doubles to pull out an 11-7 victory.
Senior Carter Wheatley and junior Alex Murray swept Tuesday, like they had in that quarterfinal matchup last year.
"We knew their singles were going to be strong and because of that, we knew that we had to do well in doubles," Wheatley said. "We had to really come with our 'A' games, all three of our doubles teams."
But Palos Verdes does respond with three tough singles players. Senior Jeff Hawke swept his three sets, handing Georgetown-bound senior Shane Korber just his third loss of the year by winning, 6-4. Palos Verdes senior Erik Lim and freshman Jake Douglas won two of three, each losing to Korber.
As importantly, they took plenty of games. Three of the sets were 6-0 victories for Palos Verdes, and three more were 6-1.
The set score was tied, 3-3, after the first round but CdM was already down four games. The score was also tied, 6-6, after the second round but CdM was down seven games.
CdM needed Korber to defeat Douglas in the final round as well as a doubles sweep. Korber won, 6-3, and the doubles teams of Wheatley and Murray, as well as Zach Williams and Carson Williams, each pulled out victories.
But Palos Verdes' No. 1 doubles team of Chase Ruth and Tony Dellovade deafeted CdM's Ismaen Aboubakare and Alec Adamson, 6-3, to help all-but clinch the match for the hosts. It came despite a valiant effort by the CdM duo, which saved five set points with Palos Verdes serving for the set at 5-3.
Ruth and Dellovade got both of Palos Verdes' doubles sets victories, helping offset Korber's victories over Lim and Douglas.
Palos Verdes Coach Danny Moscovici said his team should keep the No. 2 seeding, especially if it can beat rival Peninsula on the road Tuesday. But Corona del Mar Coach Brian Ricker knows his squad has already achieved a huge goal, clinching second place in the Pacific Coast League. That means CdM will be on the opposite side of the draw from top-seeded defending champion University.
"That's our big bonus so far," Ricker said. "I think No. 2 through 7, everyone's about the same. Since so many of the teams are from the same leagues, and certain teams have to go on the opposite side of other teams, it's hard to figure out who you're going to play – who the quarterfinal matchup is going to be. They're all going to be hard quarterfinals, because everyone's pretty tough."
Ricker said sophomore Paul Kacik, a lefty, continues to make progress on his broken right wrist he suffered April 1. Ricker said he thought it would be too risky to put Kacik in Tuesday's varsity match, but he played in the JV match.
"He's actually hitting the ball really well," Ricker said. "The cast is small and his arm doesn't hurt at all anymore. He's just got to figure out how to hit a slice backhand return."

For the time being, I'm living off my laptop. I use a PC to scan things and print things, but otherwise, it's a laptop.
The only qualm I have against it is that there's no number pad. I like number pads.
I'm supposed to be getting my laptop for college soon. There was a delay, I was supposed to get in 2 weeks ago... I won't get it until labor day.
Anyway, I bought an Apple through the school. My cousin has one too and she loves it. As of right now I'm having to rely on Dell computer on the campus library.
PC but if i have to ill use a Mac, im on a laptop right now.

by Hugh Gilmore
I play the role of "The Bookman," in the following story.
The drama begins, as usual, with a knock on the door. A large white dog came to the window and began woofing the news.
The front door opened and a slim, pleasantly smiling lady greeted me, "Hello Mr. Gilmore, I'm Elizabeth Gracious" (a pseudonym, as is "George" and "Lucy," to follow.).
The front door opened into the family room, where my eyes couldn't avoid being distracted by a giant television screen showing a World War II naval battle movie. An 80-ish man dressed in madras long pants and a Brooks Brothers crew neck sweater, his face puffy from medication, turned his attention away from the movie to notice me. Mrs. Gracious said, "George, this is Mr. Gilmore, the bookman, he's going to help us out today with the books we need to get rid of."
He smiled openly and welcomed me, more from residual good manners than comprehension I thought. He turned back to the movie.
"And this is Lucy, Mr. Gilmore." I turned and said hello to a middle-aged African-American woman who sat on the sofa, a small blanket over her lap against the chill.
When a caretaker is sitting in someone's living room at 10 in the morning, you have to know that person's presence is the answer to a question. You may not know what the question is, but you know it lies within a limited range of possibilities, none of them good.
Mr. Gracious looked away from the movie again, this time staring at me with genuine curiosity, as though after a lifetime of problem -solving for a living he was confident he could figure out why a stranger was standing in his family room during a World War II movie. His missus reminded him again of who I was and why I was there. He nodded and smiled again.
I snuck a glance at the wall of books behind his sofa. The cases were the sort that had cabinets below. A fireplace occupied the center of the wall. I also registered that the books were mostly modern and not what I'd come hoping to find. Fortunately, Mrs. Gracious asked me to follow her and showed me two more rooms with bookcases.
"George is having a rough morning," she confided as we walked through the house, "Maybe he'll feel better later. He loved books. All his life. He's read every one of the books in here. He can't read them anymore."
We were in the formal living room at the other end of the house, a room that spoke of casual elegance and years of happy companionship with family and friends.
Mrs. G. excused herself and left me free to work. My first goal at such times is to figure out if the seller was a book collector – someone who cared about editions and condition and rarity. Mr. G. was not.
In that case (the usual), I search the shelves systematically looking for anything unusual tucked among the "book books." Mr. G, it turned out, quite obviously read in depth about several topics, notably adventure travel in the Middle East and American Indians and the settling of western America. Here and there I'd find a better-than-average nugget and set it aside.
As I browsed, I wondered if Mr. G. had eye problems now, or if he simply couldn't concentrate long enough to read a book. Maybe some combination. I hoped I'd never know the experience myself. I think I've always taken it for granted that even if I couldn't be physically active, I could always sit and read. How doubly deprived I think I'd feel if I couldn't.
I left a little pile of books on the living room floor and went into the den, a small, dark room with bookcases on each side of the single window. A narrow bed occupied the space where you'd expect to see a desk. The books in here turned out to be literature. Interesting taste. A whole row of 50s paperbacks – Faulkner, T.S. Eliot, Saint Exupery – probably from George's student days. Including a paperback first edition of "Catcher in the Rye." That would be nice except that the spine was missing a piece. In fact, all of the books, even the first editions, were too beat up to be salable. But that's only the financial point of view. Books are for reading. "Well loved" we call the beat-up ones.
I went back to the TV room and found a handful. The cumulative stacks on the living room floor amounted to only about three boxes worth. I offered my buying price to Mrs. G and she accepted it. Then, not feeling I was removing enough books to have been of real help (and being genuinely useful to people is the best advertising I can do), I offered to take as many of the remainder as she wanted. I'd give them to libraries in the area or give them away for free at my curb.
She liked that idea and started pulling books from the shelves. As I carried boxes through the house and out to my van she began carrying armfuls to the TV room, wanting to help me.
Poor George couldn't resist the sight of them. He got up and crossed the room, Lucy in tow, saying, "Watch your walker, George, watch your walker, you're going to trip."
He began looking through the books on the piano bench. Every time he recognized one he carried it back to the sofa.
"We should hold on to this one," he'd say.
I continued carrying boxes out of the house, feeling like the Thief of Baghdad, as Mrs. G. behind me was saying, "No, George, we're all through with these. We can't take all these with us." Then she'd put the book back in the outgoing bunch.
Finally I'd boxed the last of them and loaded the van and shut the tailgate. I went back in and shook everyone's hands and said goodbye.
"Thank you," Mrs. G. said, "that was a big help. I'll recommend you to all my friends." Music to my ears.
Except that I drove away in the bright fall sunshine conscious of my precious cargo – another man's books – thinking of the stacks of unread books beside my own bed.
Oh my, I thought, this escalator is moving faster than I thought it was when I stepped on as a child. I can see the stairs ahead losing height, starting to flatten out. Weren't there some things I had meant to do before I must step off?

Actress Busy Philipps decided to share her pregnancy joy with her Twitter.com followers because she hates impersonal celebrity statements announcing baby news.
Last month, the "Cougar Town" beauty told her 178,000 fans on the social networking site she is expecting her second child with husband Marc Silverstein, instead of releasing a message through her publicist.
Posting an image of a positive pregnancy test on Twitter, Philipps wrote, "So this happened…"
Speaking about her decision to break the news online, she tells Anderson Cooper, "I just wanted it to come directly from me in my voice. I always hate those celebrity statements that are like, 'We are so over the moon and overjoyed.'
"I just wanted to be like, 'So this happened, it's life, guys. I am a woman, I am married, I have a kid, I am going to have another one, I'm pregnant.'"

CSS properties
transition and
animation allow you to pick the easing function. Unfortunately, they don't support all easings and you must specify the desired easing function yourself (as a Bezier curve).
Select an easing function to show its Bezier curve notation.
div {
-webkit-transition: all 600ms easing's Bezier curve;
transition: all 600ms easing's Bezier curve; }
Sass/SCSS can describe animations too! Compass removes prefixes before the
transition and
animation properties,
div {
@include transition(all 600ms ceaser($easing name)); }
jQuery with the jQuery Easing Plugin is the easiest way to describe animation with easing. Pass the easing name (like
easeInCirc) to the
.animate() function as the third argument, or use it as the value of the
easing option.
div.animate({ top: '-=100px' }, 600, 'easing name', function () { … })

If you have ever wished you could show children and teenagers how to enrich their lives with meditation and visualization, this book will delight you. It presents simple exercises in guided imagery designed to help young people ages three through eighteen to relax into learning, focus attention and increase concentration, stimulate creativity, and cultivate inner peace and group harmony.
The use of guided imagery has been internationally recognized as an effective method of "whole brain" learning. The author's approach will have special appeal to parents and teachers who are frustrated by an educational system that seems to reward only those children who excel at verbal, linear learning. With the exercises in this book, young people can discover learning styles that are effective and enjoyable for them. These techniques of guided imagery offer adults as well as children a unique way to tap the wealth of creativity and wisdom within.News & Reviews
"If you have a child, deal with children, or simply are interested in doing guided exercises that are pure and simple to the point of being elegant, then please consider this book. It is as much for and about us adults who need to regain our lost childhood as it is about us adults teaching children how to actualize their power. The children are our future. With people like Maureen at the helm, we can all breathe a little easier about what kind of world they will inherit." —Meditation
"Maureen Murdock has made a valuable contribution to our growing awareness of the importance of imagery in children, and gives invaluable outlines for the stimulation and development of it. Murdock's work should be fundamental to education, not stuck in the 'enrichment' category. Our brain thinks in imagery; imagery is part and parcel of symbolic-metaphoric thinking, on which all higher intelligence is based. This book will surely be on my recommended list to parents, teachers, and everyone interested in development." —Joseph Chilton Pearce
"Spinning Inward can be the critical event in children's lives, as it gives them ways to open to potentials of mind and body that will greatly enhance their capacities for learning and discovery. This is a book to be used again and again in home and school and wherever one wishes to avail oneself of rich and exciting exercises to expand human possibilities." —Jean Houston, Director, Foundation for Mind ResearchReader Reviews

Problem Solvers brand (from QBP). My friend Mark at Bikesmith Design provided a crankset with the arms shortened to 90 mm (and threaded for tandem, of course). The subsequent addition of the child-seat (shown above with my son Oliver, age almost 2 at the time) was a short-lived experiment that made the bicycle difficult to control. Anyway, Elissa and I rode the bike maybe 100 miles last Fall before we had some crummy weather in October that compelled me to put the tandem away for the winter. During the Winter, I asked Bikesmith to make me a 1-1/4" quill adapter (diameter of the adapter is 1-1/8" or 28.6 mm). The quill adapter slides into the threaded steerer tube like a normal 1-1/4" quill stem, and is just the right diameter to accept a 1-1/8" threadless-style stem. As you may know, there is not a wide selection (new or used) of 1-1/4" quill stems (the stock stem from Santana was not terribly comfortable), but there are hundreds of options for 1-1/8" threadless stems. The quill adapter gave me much more flexibility to fit the bicycle to my body, and made longer rides more comfortable and fun.
This Spring, as soon as it seemed reasonable to go camping, Elissa (now age 5) and I loaded up and headed to Carver Park Reserve.
Elissa rode about 65 miles over the two days, and had a great time. I couldn't have been prouder. On the down side, I decided (again) that the Jack Brown Blue tires were not for me (tried them on 3 bikes, and hated them every time). I switched to Panaracer Pasela 700x28, which made the bike much more lively and fun to ride on pavement. The problems with this tandem started to become obvious:
1. There was not enough tire clearance for tires that would allow me to comfortably do the kind of multiple surface rides and touring that I most enjoy. When we rode trails or gravel, Elissa complained about the bumpiness, and I felt that the skinny tires didn't provide enough control on loose materials like gravel and sand.
2. Cargo capacity is the same as on a single touring bicycle (front and rear panniers), but must be shared by two riders. It's workable, but sub-optimal for travel with children, who require toys, books, etc.
3. Elissa was a fun companion, but Oliver was getting to the age where he would enjoy bike rides, too. I felt bad leaving him behind when Elissa and I went riding.
One day, in the presence of some bike geek friends, I openly proposed the idea putting an Xtracycle on the tandem. That idea, because it is ridiculous, received some laughs. But I was half-serious. The more I thought about it, the better I liked the idea. I could carry lots of stuff, including an extra passenger, and the Xtracycle with a 26"/559 mm wheel has plenty of tire clearance. One day at the shop, I noticed my Pugsley fork and wheel lying in the corner. Porn music started playing in my head (wah-wah-chicka-wah-wah) and it started to come together: Tandem plus Xtracycle plus Pugsley. The cherry on top was the potential for using disc brakes, even hydraulic! I would be foolish NOT to do this! (yes, a headset adapter is required).
It turns out the Pugsley wheel and tire produces some pretty scary handling characteristic with a bike of this length. Luckily, this is the symmetrical Pug fork, which will take a normal wheel, too.Off with the Pug wheel, and on with a more conventional wheel with a Schwalbe 26x2.35" Big Apple to match the rear. Mr Rose at Shockspital modified an Avid Juicy brake by adding a hose long enough to cover the span from the handlebar to the rear disc.
The maiden voyage of this contraption was a 65-mile jaunt through the river bluffs and rolling hills between Minneapolis and Wilson, Wisconsin.
In Wilson, we over-nighted on the property of Dave's Brewfarm.
Last weekend (Independence Day weekend) we stayed closer to home, but still rode the tandem a lot for errands and general transportation. It turned out to be a 70-mile weekend for Elissa and me, highlighted by a trip to the St Paul Farmer's Market:
Once home from the grocery run, my wife mentioned that Oliver (now 2-1/2) is usually very enthusiastic about the bike, and very sad when we leave without him. I immediately found some suitable clothes for him, strapped on his helmet, lowered the saddle a bit, and snugged his feet into the toe straps. We made a tentative trip around the block:
Wow, he didn't jump off or freak out! We kept going. Down the street, turn here, turn there, pretty soon over the bridge and westbound on the Minnehaha Parkway bike trail. Then around Lake Nokomis. Some old lady rode behind us for awhile before making a snide comment about my decision to have a small child on the bike, but Oliver was doing just fine and having the time of his life.

President Snyder invites campus to serve at Case for Community Day
To the Case Western Reserve University Community:
Case for Community Day marks an opportunity for us to pitch in on projects throughout the area, and at the same time learn more about a wide range of organizations and individuals across greater Cleveland. I encourage all of our faculty, staff, students, alumni and other supporters to spend the afternoon of Friday, Sept. 19 participating in this important effort.
No matter your skills or interests, chances are that several of the more than 50 different opportunities will appeal. Our volunteers will help with voter registration and web development, landscaping and cleaning, preparing gift bags for new mothers and leading sports clinics for Cleveland students. And, as some of you may already have seen in Case Daily, dozens of volunteers will help paint a Hector Vega mural at the University Circle RTA Station. Vega has donated the mural, Sherwin Williams is providing paint and equipment and students from the Cleveland School of the Arts and Brush High School also will participate. Have no doubt, these activities will be as fun as they are rewarding.
This year marks the 6th Annual Case for Community Day, and over time our constituents have grown increasingly creative in encouraging involvement. Some faculty members offer extra credit or incorporate student writing about participation in their coursework. A few departments sign up for activities together, and so strengthen their connections as a team by engaging in an entirely different kind of work than they do every day.
I had the pleasure of volunteering at my first Case for Community Day last September, and look forward to taking part again later this month. The day's activities will conclude with a "Thank You Bar-B-Que" at the Kelvin Smith Oval complete with live jazz and reggae music performed by Cleveland City Councilman Kevin Conwell and the Footprints and the Carlos Jones Reggae Plus Band. I hope to see you there after a great afternoon of service.
Barbara R. Snyder

It's very tough for a rival to root for a division opponent and I was rooting for you guys. Yeah I wanted a home game for the NFC championship but I'm a fan of Wilson. I didn't give him a whole lot of credit until that second half in Atlanta. You have found a great one!!
Obviously alot of Atlanta fans are quite cocky right now because they beat the hottest team in the NFL and believe the 49ers will be not as much of a challenge as the Seahawks.
I personally think they are in for a rude awakening.
Atlanta failed to realize that you guys had to travel cross country twice and had to play in a 10AM slot. Your missing your best player Clemons and Lynch was banged up going into the game. All three of those aspects diminished your chances and even with those handicaps you still should have won the game.
I would like an outsiders point of view and try to just look at the teams and ignore the division rivalry in making your points who do you see coming out on top next week in the NFC Chamionship?

Today, join in celebrating the 98th anniversary of Girl Scouts! More than 3 million girls in the United States and more than are discovering their path to leadership through Girl Scouts.
Self-discovery and community service were core values that Girls Scouts founder Juliette Gordon Low sought to instill in girls from the earliest days. When the organization was founded in 1912, many girls' paths in life were limited and Low's vision was to establish an organization where any American girl could expand her personal horizon by having fun while exploring new interests and contributing to society. Low was determined to help expand opportunities and learning for the average American girl, and founded Girl Scouts on March 12, 1912.

As this is being written, most of the teams in the California League's South Division have 23 games remaining and there's a decent shot it'll come down to the final few games to decide the final two playoff spots.
Assuming Lancaster wins the second half (and they have a 3 1/2 game lead currently and are the most consistent team in the division), there are two spots up for grabs.
RIght now, Lake Elsinore (56-61) and the 66ers (55-62) are the leaders, but the Quakes (54-63) and Mavericks (52-65) aren't far behind.
One team might drop out of the running, but it seems likely at least three teams will be battling for those final two spots.
The Quakes missed a golden chance at a win Friday, letting a 6-2 eighth inning lead slip away with a six-run frame in an 8-6 loss to Lancaster.
Ryan Mount, Abel Nieves and Efren Navarro had two hits apiece for the Quakes.
The Sixers held on for a surprisingly low-scoring 5-4 win over the Mavericks. They will need to win a lot of low-scoring games to remain in the hunt for the playoffs.
