Many of us recently offered our thoughts on what we would say about sex and sexuality to a teenager and one of the common themes was to make sure that if that teen were gay, that was okay and normal and should never be a source of shame. Matt Barber of Liberty Counsel does the exact opposite in his open letter to gay teens. Most of it is just lame preaching like this:
You will read truth here, not because I say it's true – I'm nobody – but, rather, because the Creator of the universe, the very God Who wove you together in your mother's womb made it true.
His truths never change.
Really? Because, if the Bible is to be believed, he demanded that women be stoned to death if they aren't virgins on their wedding day, along with many other barbaric commands. Has that truth never changed?
I have three kids, a boy and two girls. My son will soon enter his teenage years. I've had many people ask me what I'd say to my children if one of them came to me and declared: "Dad, I'm gay."
Here's what I'd say. I'd tell them exactly what I'm about to tell you.
I love you. I neither judge you nor condemn you. I accept you and I would die for you.
But you are not "gay."
Yes, you may be physically attracted to people of the same sex, but how you act on those attractions is entirely your choice. Who you are – your identity – is not defined by your sexual feelings, temptations or behaviors. The difference between who you are and what you feel or do is as the difference between night and day.
He has it exactly backwards, of course. Who you are, your identity, is, in fact, defined by your desires and preferences. That's why it's called a sexual orientation. A straight person can choose to have sex with someone of the same gender (porn stars do it routintely) and a gay person can choose to have sex with someone of the opposite gender (lots of closeted gay people in sham marriages have done that), but that does not change who they are or what their orientation is at all.
Homosexual behavior is always wrong – demonstrably and absolutely wrong.
Every major world religion, thousands of years of history and uncompromising human biology declare this objective reality from the rooftops.
Though your heart may deceive you, something deep within you knows this to be true. Scripture says, "The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. …" …
If you are caught up in homosexual sin, you know – intuitively you know – that such conduct is wrong, that it is both immoral and unnatural behavior.
Don't you love being told what you really know? I'll take presumptuous bullshit for $1000, Alex.
In fact, homosexual sin is expressly identified in both the Old and New Testaments as being among the list of sins that, if committed without repentance, will prevent you from "inheriting the kingdom of God."
That is to say, yes; unrepentant homosexual behavior is disobedience to God. If we rebel against God and refuse to repent and ask His forgiveness, then we have chosen our own fate – we have chosen to disqualify ourselves from heaven.
We have chosen hell.
Yes, that's a good way to handle a gay teenager — tell them that they're going to burn in hell for eternity because they're gay. That will help so much.
Love without truth is hate.
This is what Daniel Dennett calls a "deepity." It is, quite literally, gibberish. It's meaningless nonsense phrases in a way that makes it sound as though it expresses some profound idea.
But there is hope.
Jesus loves you with a love that no human can fully grasp. This is true not because of your so-called "sexual orientation," but, rather, it is true in spite of it.
Jesus said, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28)
Kids, take your sexual confusion – your struggle with sin – to Christ.
Yes, and when that fails to change your sexual orientation, we'll blame it on your lack of faith. You obviously just don't want to change. And then you'll probably try to kill yourself. But don't worry, they love you so much that they want to change everything you are. Love — you're doing it wrong.

More NC private school scholarships considered
North Carolina legislative leaders are considering locating extra money so all children who applied and qualify for taxpayer money for tuition at private or religious schools can receive it.
House Speaker Thom Tillis and Senate leader Phil Berger signaled their interest in locating more funds for the "opportunity scholarships" while speaking Tuesday at a rally organized by a school-choice group in front of the Legislative Building.
The legislature set aside $10 million last year to give up to $4,200 per child starting this fall. About 4,500 applications appear to meet qualifications. The group Parents for Educational Freedom in North Carolina says between $6 million and $8 million would be needed.
The potential expansion comes four months after a judge blocked the program. The state Supreme Court later removed the injunction.

5 open source help desk apps to watch
- 29 September, 2009 10:53
If your help desk software is giving you trouble, there are some open source options available to help ease your pain – without the high cost.
In this instalment of CIO's five open source applications to watch we take a look at help desk software, which is the basis of incident response and IT service delivery.
RT: Request Tracker
RT is a ticketing system which enables a group of people to manage tasks, issues and requests submitted by a community of users. The RT platform has been under development since 1996, and is claimed to be used at thousands of sites around the world. Written in object-oriented Perl, RT manages tasks like the identification, prioritisation, assignment, resolution and notification for applications including project management, help desk, NOC ticketing, CRM and software development.

Help Desk Software
Help Desk Software (also Freehelpdesk) is feature-rich help desk system designed from the ground up to meet the demands of help desk staff and their users. It is a Web-based system that can accept new calls from your users directly into the system. Calls can be tracked and searched to enable faster response times. Help Desk Software has been updated to support PHP 5, but development pace has slowed since mid-2008.

OTRS (Open source Ticket Request System) has features to manage customer telephone calls and e-mails. The system is built to allow support, sales, pre-sales, billing, internal IT and help desk functions to react quickly to inbound inquiries. OTRS is a Web-based help desk and ticket system that provides a set of features to help service organisations to manage requests more efficiently. As a framework, it is the basis of OTRS::ITSM, an ITIL-compliant IT service management solution. It supports MySQL, MS SQL, PosgreSQL, Oracle and DB2.
URL: http://otrs.org Licence: AGPL
A Web-based help desk application written in Java using the Hibernate and ZK libraries. Triage provides interfaces for handling tickets with notes and solutions, full-text search indexing, and allowing for plug-ins which can generate tickets from external sources (for example Asterisk, OpenNMS, Nagios, and e-mail). The initial development is being done on Linux, using the Eclipse development environment. The idea is that as a technician enters a new ticket, the application will present them with previous tickets/solutions which may be related and be able to present a quick answer. This way, knowledge is not lost and can be easily leveraged even with new personnel in the IT work force.
URL: http://code.google.com/p/triage/ Licence: GPL
PHP Help Desk
PHD Help Desk is an application designed for the registry and follow-up of help desk incidents. A registry of incidents allows classification in two levels (type and subtype), the state of the incident, a description, ticket assignment and priority, historical registry, and an audit. Information can be reported in consultation format, to give reports or export the information for later processing in a database or spreadsheet.

Generating keys
This is a tutorial for creating keys for use with pony
Generating Keys
The command:
ssh-kegen -t dsa
will generate a DSA key pair that we can use to authenticate ourselves.
After pressing enter you'll be asked for a file location, with a default name of id_dsa located in your ~/.ssh/ directory. It's a good idea to give it a useful name (for our purpose, 'pony' will do). You'll also be asked for an optional pass phrase for the key. You can skip this by pressing enter if you like.
You'll now have two files, 'pony' and 'pony.pub' in your ~/.ssh/ directory:
-rw------- 1 switch switch 736 Dec 7 04:46 pony -rw-r--r-- 1 switch switch 602 Dec 7 04:46 pony.pub
Notice that 'pony.pub' is world readable, but the (private) pony key is only readable by you, the owner. Feel free to write your public key down on your wiki user page, your tax returns or your favorite bathroom stall.
Configuring Your SSH
We've got our keys, but we need to let SSH know which hosts we want to use what keys with. We'll need to edit the user config file for ssh, located in '~/.ssh/config' (If this file doesn't already exist, go ahead and create it there).
Configuring Pony
You'll need some help for this next part, specifically someone listed on pony's sudo list. Some guy does some stuff for you

Debatable on the draw at The Oval tbf, though I agree we'd have won, many would disagree
If you suddenly told the players on the last afternoon that there was going to be a sixth day I think it's irrefutable England would've won. However, if it'd been known all through the whole game that a draw would only happen once 450 overs had been bowled, the game would've taken a completely different course as Australia would never have stayed on and been ripped apart by Hoggard and Flintoff on the fourth afternoon.
You've ben hoping to change my avatar since martin Johnson was yours back in 07, haven't ya ripper

The 100-Minute Torah
In Judaism, revelation is a process, constant and ongoing, which leads to our literature being vast. Consequently Cliff Cohen's ingenious abridging and summarising of Jewish teaching is much to be welcomed.
The 100-Minute Torah opens up Jewish scriptures to non-Jews and Jews alike. It acknowledges the historical content of the Hebrew Bible without mistaking it for a history book and without being condescending. Yet this little book can be read in less time than it takes to watch a feature film or take the train from London to Birmingham.
Rabbi Julia NeubergerThe 100-Minute Torah
100 Minutes with the Qur'an
The Quran is so precious to Muslims that many are able to recite it from beginning to end. Yet for people outside Islam it is a closed book. Based on a template introduced by Shah Wali Allah in the mid-18th century this book seeks to bridge that divide such that the depth of the Qurans guidance becomes available to all. You may be surprised to read about many of the historical characters that you will also find in the Christian and Jewish bibles. For Muslims this book may reveal new insights into the Quran.
Published by The 100-Minute Press, The 100-Minute Bible is a new way of looking at the Bible. It is published with the hope that it will enable people who are not familiar with the Bible to understand something of the book that is the basis of the Christian faith.
The 100-Minute Bible picks out the principal stories of the life and ministry of its central character, Jesus Christ. The social and theological context of these stories is provided by outlining the ups and downs of the history of his nation, the Jews. It then proceeds to record the story of the growth of Christianity during the first century; firstly amongst the Jews themselves; then amongst the other peoples living in Israel and then throughout the eastern Mediterranean, even as far as Rome.
The 100-Minute Bible is primarily intended for people who have an interest in Christianity but not the time (nor tenacity!) to read the whole Bible. As the title indicates most people will only take 100 minutes to read it, making it ideal for an upcoming rail or aeroplane journey

The 100-Minute Buddha
This short book outlines the fundamental elements of Buddhism by recounting the life and ministry of the Buddha. Since then the teaching he offered has been expanded into a vast and complex bibliography. But for all Buddhists the teaching and example of the Buddha remains the core of their beliefs and way of life. For those outside Buddhism this book provides a comprehensive introduction to Buddhism that can be read in just 100 minutes. For Buddhists it reminds them of the Buddhas life-story.

Swampscott family with four children lose dog in massive fire
Family was not home at the time of the fire
Over 50 firefighters battled a three-alarm fire in bitterly cold temperatures for several hours Thursday morning in Swampscott.
Swampscott firefighters arrived at the scene and called for backup upon discovering that the rear of the home was engulfed in flames.
According to Wicked Local, it was just after 9 a.m. Thursday morning when Andrew Road resident Ron Trapaso smelled smoke coming from his next-door neighbor's home. Knowing no one was home, Trapaso headed to check out the residence at 50 Andrew Road. When he opened the front door, thick clouds of smoke came pouring out.
SLIDESHOW: Photos from the scene
"That's when he called 911," explained a neighbor, who asked not to be named.
Larry Guelfo, who lives across the street, said he was home when the fire started.
"I could smell the smoke from inside," Guelfo said.
Neighbors said the home belongs to a family with four young children, and Swampscott Police said that no one was inside when the fire started.
State Fire Marshal Stephen Coan said the fire appears to have started at the stove and was accidental. It's unclear if the stove had been left on or if it was turned on by the family dog, who was known for "counter surfing," fire investigators said.
The dog died in the fire.
"It's so sad that this is happening to them," Guelfo said. "These four kids are losing everything. I just feel awful for the family."
"Our hearts go out to the family at this difficult time," said Guelfo's daughter Victoria.
Firefighters worked diligently to locate and remove the family's dog and several bunnies, which were inside the home as the fire burned. Two bunnies were rescued, but firefighters were not able to get to the dog in time.
"I believe it's a Labradoodle dog," said neighbor Herrick Wales, who lives behind 50 Andrew Road. His Paradise Road home is only a few feet away from the house that caught fire.
"I was told that the fire department had to spray my house with water to keep the heat and flames from the fire away from my house," Wales said. "I'm being told that I have to stay out of my yard for safety reasons."
Nearly three hours after the fire started, at 12:10 p.m., emergency dispatchers reported over the police and fire scanner that the blaze was "under control" and firefighters from surrounding communities were being released.
Swampscott resident James Morando, the owner of Total Group demolition — a local company that provides emergency boarding for homes after disasters — was on the scene during the fire and said that the home was likely a total loss, in his opinion.
Damages to the home are estimated at $250,000 to $300,000.

Boston's 2013 sports stats heroes
Four major professional teams, four playoff appearances, two trips to the finals, one championship and a city that despite being attacked, rallied around their own and their teams during a year that no New Englander will ever forget.
Here's a look at the athletes whose statistics made them Boston's 2013's sports statistics heroes.
15. Jordan Crawford
Celtics guard
Acquired from the Wizards for Leandro Barbosa and Jason Collins on Feb. 21 as little more than a spare part off the bench, Crawford ascended into the starting point guard role in Rajon Rondo's absence, and is one of the main reasons Boston finds itself in the hunt for first place in the Atlantic Division.
Since donning the shamrock, Crawford has played in every game, leads all Celtics in assists, has one of the teams' two triple-doubles (along with Paul Pierce) and places third in steals (38) and total points (641). In a conference that features the likes of LeBron James, Paul George, and Carmelo Anthony, it was Crawford who earned Eastern Conference Player of the Week honors for December 2-8 when he averaged 23.3 points and 6.7 assists in leading his team to a 3-0 record.
14. Mike Napoli
Red Sox first baseman
The inspiration of the Red Sox' beard brigade that swept a nation, Napoli, signed twice as a free agent by Boston in 2013, put up big numbers in between. Fears of hip issues that delayed his original signing never materialized and a healthy Napoli placed second to David Ortiz on the team in home runs (23), runs batted in (92), slugging percentage (.482) and OPS (.842).
He shared American League Player of the Week honors twice with a teammate, first with Andrew Bailey during the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombing and then with Will Middlebrooks at the start of September, making him one of only two Red Sox players (joining Adrian Gonzalez in 2012) to take home two such weekly honors in a season since 2006.
13. Julian Edelman
Patriots wide receiver
Where would offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels and quarterback Tom Brady be without the former Kent State quarterback who entered the season in the unlikely role of the most experienced receiver on the Patriots roster? The fifth-year man responded to being asked to replace the production lost by Wes Welker's defection by more than doubling his previous career totals across the board while placing fourth in the league in receptions (96), or 23 more than Welker's total in Denver.
12. Jose Iglesias
Former Red Sox shortstop/third baseman
Based on his 2012 season, it would've been hard to imagine a more unlikely stats hero than Iglesias, but for the first part of 2013 the previously light-hitting shortstop put up some incredible offensive numbers. A seemingly permanent resident below the Mendoza line prior to 2013 with a career .135 batting average, Iglesias didn't see his 2013 average dip below the Williams line (.400) until July 7, reaching heights not seen in a century.
Best of all, his hot streak raised his value to the point where Ben Cherington was able to trade him for Jake Peavy, who solidified the starting staff that ultimately won the World Series.
11. Shane Victorino
Red Sox outfielder
Nobody tore up late August like the Flyin' Hawaiian. From the 17th to the 31st of the month Victorino played 13 games, collected multiple hits in nine, with five home runs, 14 RBIs, a .434 batting average and .811 slugging percentage. He had an amazing .474 clip on balls he put in play over that span while helping lead the Red Sox to a 9-4 record and raising his slash line .020/.022/.054 in the span of just two weeks.
10. Paul Pierce
Former Celtics forward
The Truth went out with a bang in his Celtics career, posting three triple-doubles in 2013 prior to being traded to the Brooklyn Nets. Pierce's biggest game came on Feb. 10 against the Nuggets when he scored 27 points to go along with 14 assists and 14 boards in a 118-114 double overtime win.
Since the ABA-NBA merger, the only other Celtic to reach all of those figures in a single game was Larry Bird who had 30-15-17 against the Bullets in 1987.
9. Rob Gronkowski
Patriots tight end
The validity of the saying "absence makes the heart grow fonder'' couldn't be any clearer than the case of Gronkowski, who proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that he's the keystone of New England's offensive attack. In the seven games he played between lengthy absences for surgeries on his forearm and back at the start of the year and now while awaiting knee reconstruction surgery to end it, Gronk showed what a beast he is when reasonably healthy, adding nearly two touchdowns to the Patriots scoring average, placing among the league leaders in first down receptions, and amassing a four-game touchdown scoring streak.
8. Clay Buchholz
Red Sox starting pitcher
In modern major league baseball history, only seven men have ever won at least 90 percent of their games with at least 10 decisions in a season in which their earned run average was below 2.00. Of those, only Buchholz and likely Hall of Fame shoo-in Greg Maddux (1.63 ERA, .905 winning percentage in 21 decisions in 1995) started as many as a quarter of their appearances. Sure, Buchholz missed a bulk of the season due to injury, leading many in Red Sox Nation to question his durability, but when he was on the mound he was the AL Pitcher of the Month of April.
His 12-1 mark, 1.74 ERA and 1.03 WHIP and 234 ERA+ makes him more than worthy of inclusion on this list no matter how much time he missed.
7. Chandler Jones
Patriots defensive end
Despite seeing a constant stream of his star defensive teammates heading to the sideline and injured reserve due to injuries, the second-year man is tied for fifth in the NFL in sacks (11.5) while also being responsible for 5.5 tackles of runners behind the line of scrimmage.
In the entire NFL, only St. Louis' Robert Quinn (27), Indianapolis' Robert Mathis (22), Houston's J.J. Watt (20), Tampa Bay's Lavonte David (19.5), and Buffalo's Kyle Williams (17.5) have dropped more opponents for losses. Jones' 11.5 sacks are the second-most for a Patriot in the Belichick era (Mike Vrabel, 12.5 in 2007) and fifth most for the franchise since sacks became an official statistic in 1982 (Andre Tippett, 18.5 in 1984, 16.5 in 1985, 12.5 in 1987)
6. David Krejci
Bruins center
The Bruins fell just short of their second Stanley Cup in three years, but it was no fault of Krejci, who led the league in the playoffs with 26 points and 17 assists while placing behind only Chicago's Patrick Sharp (10) in goals with nine, although Sharp took 35 more shots.
The Bruins scored 13 more goals than their opposition with Krejci on the ice during the playoff run, second-best among all skaters to teammate Nathan Horton's +20 rating.
5. Tom Brady
Patriots quarterback
There are few quarterbacks who wouldn't give anything they owned to have an "off'' year like Tom Brady has had in 2013. Despite playing without his favorite pitch and catch partner (Rob Gronkowski) for all but seven games, and with a green receiving corps, Brady has thrown for more yards (4,885) during January's playoffs and the '13 regular season than everyone not named Peyton Manning. Most importantly, he led all of the league's passers in comeback victories and game-winning drives (five apiece).
4. Tuukka Rask
Bruins goaltender
There's no Boston athlete currently better at his position in his respective sport than the Bruins netminder, who since New Year's Day 2013 (including the postseason) leads the NHL in shutouts (11), goals-against average (1.92), and save percentage (.934), while tying Chicago's Corey Crawford in wins with 52.
Tasked with replacing Tim Thomas between the pipes in 2012, in the 2013 postseason he matched Thomas' otherworldly .940 goals-against from the 2011 Stanley Cup run and bested his goals-against average 1.88 to 1.98, falling just 76 seconds short of forcing a Game 7 in the Stanley Cup Finals. (minimum 40 games played for the averages)
3. Andre Williams
Boston College running back
Normally the numbers examined for Boston.com's Stats Driven are contained to professional sports, but based on his incredible 2013, the NCAA's leading rusher will soon be among those playing on Sundays and deserves recognition for the greatest college football season anyone in this area has seen since Doug Flutie won the Heisman Trophy.
Williams placed fourth in Heisman voting, yet became just one of three players this millenium to rush for at least 2,000 yards and average at least six yards per carry. His 2,102 rushing yards not only led the FBS in 2013, he placed second in total yards from scrimmage behind Western Kentucky's Antonio Andrews despite not catching a pass all season.
2. David Ortiz
Red Sox designated hitter
Becoming the alltime leader in hits as a designated hitter, as he did in July, was enough to qualify Big Papi, already the recepient of Boston.com's quote of the year, for the No. 2 spot on this list. But when coupled with his insanely great postseason when he led everyone with on-base and slugging percentages of .500 and .706 respectively, Ortiz shoots up the list. His ridiculous World Series slash line of .688/.760/1.188 rank second/second/tied for eighth alltime in the Fall Classic — the first two of which rank as the highest in any Series that lasted more than four games — and earned him runaway World Series MVP honors.
1. Koji Uehara
Red Sox closer
Uehara wasn't only the greatest local stats story of the year, he was the top Boston newcomer of 2013 by far. A nondescript free agent signed in December 2012 to bolster what appeared to be a team strength, Uehara pulled the Sox season out of the fire, ascending to the role of closer after Andrew Bailey, Joel Hanrahan, and Junichi Tazawa all were given opportunities before him.
All he did was respond with one of the greatest seasons for a closer. His 38 straight batters retired amounted to a perfect game plus 3 2/3 innings and flirted with the major league record of 41. He was virtually spotless in save opportunities during the regular season, allowing just three runs (two earned) on nine hits and one walk in 25 innings of work with a save at stake, converting 21 of his chances, while raising his alltime strikeout-to-walk ratio to 8.74, the best, by far, among all major league pitchers with at least 20 career innings of experience.
He was just as good in the 2013 playoffs, saving all seven chances he received to tie the alltime postseason record. He allowed just one run in 13 2/3 innings and claimed ALCS MVP honors en route to winning his first World Series ring.

Recently I had a conversation with another animal rights activist, and this essay is a culmination of that exchange. It was in large part about the kind of emotional response animal rights activists have to the horrors of animal abuse. This really is my first foray into writing about animal rights in general, so bear with me.
She talked to me about her own personal emotional reactions as a vegan to those in her life who weren't. She suppresses a feeling of horror at having to sit across from someone who has a meat dinner, she averts herself away from the line of dead animal parts in the meat department of the grocery store, and has trouble forming close relationships with those who sees as normal the violence against animals.
And that is a perfectly understandable reaction. Most people don't support animal cruelty in a general sense, and are shocked when they are presented with information about the cruelty and torturing of animals in industries that are hidden from public view, with full financial and cultural support. Once the veil has been lifted, it's quite alarming to see the breadth and scope of the kind of carnage and torture that is committed in the name of fashion, food, entertainment, and research. Those that have been moved enough to make the compassionate choice to not support systematic suffering feel a disconnect with those that continue to do so. It is a natural reaction to want to have nothing to do with people that support cruelty, to separate from them and to be only with others who have made the commitment to be more compassionate. Just as it would be uncomfortable to form a friendship with someone who sees no problem with violence against women, for instance, once one adopts the ethical position of seeing no distinction between animal and human suffering, it would be disagreeable to form a relationship with someone who is willing to lay out money for a product of animal torture.
At first glance, that kind of reaction would seem an antithetical position for an animal rights activist. An AR activist not only recognizes the need for a compassionate stance in their own personal life, but of a need to counter the decades of social and corporate conditioning to convince others of their role of encouraging animal abuse; to do so requires constant interaction in situations and with people that have evidence and products of once-living things. To make the most impact to reduce animal cruelty requires one to interact in the culture that supports it, to inform people of the connection between their money and the cruelty that it supports, to constantly engage, inform, and educate in "mainstream" society.
The fear the activist I talked to had, was in order for someone not to express horror at the constant evidence of agony, one has to avoid thinking about the experience of the victim, to become desensitized. She made the comparison of experiences by emergency medical responders she had talked to. They were passionate about what they did and cared very much, but in order to perform their jobs, they said they felt like it was necessary to shut off the part of the mind that elicit emotional responses to the situations they encounter. They said in order to survive mentally, they had to numb themselves to the experiences of those in anguish. While this person admires the kind of outreach AR groups conducts, she was not sure she could do that, and felt that the outward expression of abhorrence was a natural response to the violence surrounding her; she didn't enjoy being expected to behave as if she wasn't horrified.
While I'm certainly no psychologist, and don't even pretend to know the inner workings of the human mind, I think that the kind of education and outreach that we do doesn't necessarily involve a level of desensitization to the horrors, but rather a channeling of that visceral human emotion. From my own personal experience, even though I had already been an animal rights activist, after I had watched the movie "Earthlings," and felt my insides knot up in suppressed rage at the unspeakable torture being shown, that made me more determined to reach out to the rest of the meat-eating, leather-wearing world with renewed vigor and passion in order to convince them of what they are directly supporting. There is no way that the normalized violence will end unless we can convince more and more people of their role in it and have them reject it. I think what we are doing at NARN, and by extension every other AR group, is more a redirection of that horror into a method by which we can convince others of their role in it. By bearing witness to those atrocities, and seeing exactly the hidden costs of the products that I'm constantly surrounded by, it increases my focus and reminds me that no matter what kind of discomfort I feel at any point in my life, it is nothing compared to what animals are constantly subjected to, day-in, day-out. The horror then becomes a call to action.
It is certainly not "bad" vegan behavior to act horrified at the situations and evidence we come in contact with; the point is not about condemning our very human reaction to standardized torture, but more about being aware of the perception by the non-vegan world. Most vegetarians/vegans started off as meat-eaters–still rare is the vegan that was born into the lifestyle. And in most cases it was that initial contact with a pamphlet, a video-viewing, or a polite conversation with an activist that planted the seeds of change. It's important that non-vegans see vegans as approachable, non-stubborn, and non-judgmental; to treat others with distain and militancy will solidify in their minds that our approach isn't worth investigating, with the net result being the cause of more suffering, not less.
And while it is still germane to feel disgust, we can still feel hope as well. The animal rights movement is still very young; the modern inception of it has only been around since the 1970's, and since that time, we've made many advances. And we've saved countless lives of animals–just imagine how much worse animals would have it now if there weren't a movement underway to eliminate animal suffering. And while it is important to maintain a compassionate lifestyle, the impact of our entire life spent not eating meat will literally double if we convince even just one person in our lifetime to also choose a more compassionate path. And the more people we reach out to, the more suffering we mitigate and eliminate, and the less viable the current structure of society and industry that allows cruelty will be. And that's something we can truly feel good about.

Mother's Day Breakfast Ideas: Bagels and Lox with Chive-Dill Cream Cheese
Bagels are nice for breakfast. But for Mother's Day brunch, it has to be bagels and lox. Nothing says "step it up a notch" quite like lox.
In a good New York deli, you might have to break a 20-dollar bill to get one. At home you can have fresh bagels, cream cheese, and lox for just a few dollars each. Ideally the bagels should still be warm from your local deli or bagel shop. Add silky lox and a thin layer of creamy, salty cream cheese and Mom will have no doubt just how much you love her.
Bagels and Lox with Chive-Dill Cream Cheese
Serves 4 (whole bagels) or 8 (bagel halves)
Print recipe only here.
1 cup whipped cream cheese
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill
several shakes of salt and cranks of freshly ground black pepper
4 plain bagels, sliced in half
8 ounces cured smoked salmon
dill sprigs for garnish
In a small bowl mix cream cheese, chives, dill, salt, and black pepper.
Slice bagels in half. Spread with half with the cream cheese mixture and top with 1 ounce of lox. Garnish with dill springs. Serve immediately.

I think of all Mother's Day breakfast ideas, this is the one mine would love the most. Unless my brother gets off his lazy butt and makes her breakfast, I suspect Mom will treat the day like any other Sunday and spend the day with her four-legged equine children, which means getting up and out early. I'm sure she'd love a good bagel to start the day - more so than anything heavier or more complicated. (In case you were wondering, I'm taking her out to dinner the night before, so that's why I was leaving Sunday morning to my brother).

Three Essential Laws for Working with Circuits
At the most basic level, analyzing circuits involves calculating the current and voltage for a particular device. That's where device and connection equations come in. Device equations describe the relationship between voltage and current for a specific device. One of the most important device equations is Ohm's law, which relates current (I) and voltage (V) using resistance (R), where R is a constant: V = IR or I = V/R or R = V/I.
The two connection equations you need to know are Kirchhoff's current law (KCL) and Kirchhoff's voltage law (KVL):
Kirchhoff's current law: Sum of incoming currents = Sum of outgoing currents at a node
Kirchhoff's voltage law: Sum of voltage rises = Sum of voltage drops around a closed loop

When doing circuit analysis, you need to know some essential laws, electrical quantities,...

Harbour cruises and great cafés attract visitors to the historic port town of Lyttelton, just 20 minutes from the centre of Christchurch city.
Lyttelton is a port town with a long history. Christchurch's first European settlers landed here in 1850 before trekking over the Port Hills to establish their new home.
Today Lyttelton is accessed by an impressive road tunnel. It's a colourful town, home to a community of nearly 3,000, brimming with bohemian artists, cafés, quirky shops and restaurants.
As you'd expect, the local museum has a maritime theme; it also has an excellent Antarctic gallery (Lyttelton was an expedition launching point in the days of South Pole expeditions). Harbour cruises depart from Lyttelton every day - with any luck, you'll encounter Hector's dolphins.
Another place of interest is the neo-Gothic Timeball Station, which was erected in 1876 to keep Greenwich Mean Time. The Timeball was badly damaged in the 2011 earthquake but a movement to restore this landmark is underway.

Demand for advanced detection technologies remains high, as weapons of mass destruction could result in unaccountable casualties. Chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear material detectors are must-have frontline defense tools to stand against all possible threats.
Two innocent-looking packages were discovered on cargo planes bound from Yemen to the U.S. on Oct. 29, 2010, each containing bombs made with plastic explosives and detonating mechanisms. While no lives were lost, US air travel became stricter than ever. Terrorist demonstrations with weapons of mass destruction show that chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) attacks do not take place on distant battlefields — the modern-day battlefield could hit closer to home.
CBRN detection enables a more timely response to any hazardous material. In the past, handheld detectors were developed based on ion mobility spectrometry (IMS), which remains common today. "Equipment based on IMS provides an indication of the presence of questionable substance; however, it cannot identify and analyze the substance for more information," said Dieter Rothbacher, MD of Hotzone Solutions.
In recent years, more products are developed based on Fourier transform IR spectrometry (FTIR). "FTIR-based instruments have the ability to analyze substance in both liquid and solid forms, and also give users a good idea of the gas substance in presence," Rothbacher said. "Also, more analytical instruments come with built-in database library, providing on-spot information to instantly notify and identify a situation." Presently, detection technology on these devices achieved great improvements in terms of sensitivity and reliability, which leads to improved accuracy rates.
For biological agent detection, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique has been taken out of laboratory settings and ruggedized for handheld biological agent detectors, said Lou Banks, Marketing Manager of Bio-Defense, Idaho Technology. "PCR is a molecular technology that detects trace amounts of pathogen DNA, which drastically enhances its sensitivity level."
Biological agent detection has benefited from development in matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization- time of flight (MALDI-TOF) techniques. "For identification purposes, PCR remains a favorite, but efforts are put into the development of MALDI-TOF in combination with a mass spectrometer," said Rutger Gaasbeek,Consultant at IB Consultancy. "Although most of these applications are developed for military purposes, they will slowly find their way to the civilian field, such as the health care sector."
For chemical agents, enhanced sensing capabilities aim for better detection range and higher sensitivity. "Previously only chemical warfare agent (CWA) capability has been expanded to cover up to 30 toxic industrial or chemical gases," said Osmo Anttalainen, VP of R&D Solutions at Environics. "In recent years,handheld detectors have become better at detecting a wider range of gases, resulting in better coverage of civil security needs in detection."

Deploying your solution on AppEazy makes creating custom installations as easy as spinning up a new instance.
Applianz is making technology easy.
We've figured out a way to give small and mid-sized businesses the same benefits of the cloud with full ownership and control over how they use it.
In doing so, we've figured out how to give business software developers and IT support providers a profitable way to help their end users. For instance, would you like to see how we run Sage products on Mac?
Your cloud in a box. Your box in the cloud.
Let's face it. With today's emerging technology, businesses have innumerable options when it comes to deploying their critical enterprise applications. But the hard truth is this - whether companies are using traditional solutions or leveraging the power of the cloud, there is almost always a tradeoff, no matter what technology is at play.
This catch-22 isn't an easy one to solve. Companies that utilize traditional solutions are able to exercise full control over their technology, but they're forced to deal with complex configuration and maintenance while missing out on the key benefits the cloud provides. Other companies that rely too heavily on the cloud are able to experience its grand functionality, but only at the expense of less control, less customization and being at the mercy of their cloud provider.
At Applianz, we've figured out a way to give small and mid-sized businesses the same benefits of the cloud with full ownership and control over how they use it. With the full intention of making a user-friendly product, we've created an on-site solution that businesses can set up themselves with no IT expertise needed.
Our hybrid solution, known as AppEazy, makes it simple for anyone to run a variety of applications from any system, anywhere, anytime. We've shaped AppEazy into a product that not only makes businesses more productive, but makes software better. For Independent Software Vendors, this means they have the ability to put their software in front of more faces and expand their product offerings.
Freedom from Company-Ending Disaster: Backups of backups. Not only making backups, but agile, smooth and quick recovery from crisis with minimal downtime or infrastructure change using the backups. AppEazy allows for simple hardware upgrades, restores to Live Hosted Replacement servers, and monitoring of the server 24/7 to make sure companies stay up and running. If the worst should happen, we can have a system up and running in just a few hours with the latest backup. The AppEazy Connect client will find the new server without configuration, so users stay productive, and the company stays in motion.
Freedom from Malware: On AppEazy, your company is sheltered from many threats including intrusion, viruses and unauthorized access. The connection method assists in preventing infections from spreading from workstations into AppEazy. Temporary Application Sessions remove the potential for viruses and malware to get their foot in the door. Backup Restorations turns back the clock on infections to the time before they happened, returning the entire system to an uninfected state. Separating users' Workstations from your Mission Critical applications provides a boundary between work and personal tasks.
Freedom from Tangled Wires: AppEazy lets users do more and go more places. With a simple firewall Port Range Forward or Hosting, the AppEazy Connect Client will allow users to work from any location, or from multiple locations at once, without reconfiguration. By double clicking a single shortcut, you will be connected to the installed application in seconds no matter where you are. Need to move your company? Grab the AppEazy Server and go. Install it in the new location, give it internet access, and users will be able to connect without reconfiguration.
Freedom from OS Dependency: AppEazy Connect runs on Windows, iOS, OS X, and Android. Install your company's necessary applications on our Windows environment, and use the client from your favorite OS in a quick transparent way without complex reinstallation of Mission Critical applications every time. Our Workstation Template allows for one configuration, which is then cloned, allowing for a consistent, dependable work session for all employees. Printing just works no matter what OS you prefer.
AppEazy is built for you to build a business on.
From the technical perspective, AppEazy is a Linux-based server which uses a hypervisor to launch Windows sessions. Using internal firewalls, we protect the server from intrusion. Our code maintains and connects users Remote Desktop Connections (using our AppEazy Connect Client) to pre-launched Virtual Machines which are networked via Windows Network Sharing to a persistent central server session (which we call the File Server), all internal to the AppEazy Server. Connection to temporary cloned sessions, which are discarded after use, prevents malware. Automatic exporting of certain (and configurable) file types, and quick import-export of files into and out of the server assists in using AppEazy transparently. Our AppEazy Start Menu can replace the traditional Windows Start Bar, further giving security to the environment.
Standardized hardware allows for quick upgrading of internal components such as Disks, RAM, CPU, or seamless entire server transfers in a few hours.
Backups are incremental, allowing us to transfer only the changes to the server each night, instead of transferring the entire system. Copies of backups are stored on the server for easy file or Virtual Machine restoration. Copies are made every night during Maintenance, which performs the backup and re-cloning of the Workstation Template to the sessions, as well as system updates and Linux upgrades to protect from 0-day exploits.
While some people might call us software developers, we like to think of ourselves as manufacturers of productivity.
We're an exuberant bunch of digital wizards, dedicated to helping businesses increase productivity by making the process of installing, accessing and maintaining business software applications easier, more efficient and more affordable. Our patented AppEazy system provides businesses a rock-solid method to run the applications they need on the systems they already have, taking upgrades and extra IT support out of the equation. And with remote access and automated data backups, AppEazy provides the complete package for any business looking to be more productive and more competitive.
One of the biggest problems we see with conventional technology is the fact that businesses are forced to bend over backwards in order to use the software that makes their companies run. The constant cycle of system upgrades and inefficient installation procedures leads to resources wasted and time lost. It is our opinion that if you pay for sophisticated software you really need, you ought to be able to use it on any system you want, anywhere you are.
With this philosophy in mind, we've created AppEazy in the hopes that businesses won't have to worry about technology and instead, concentrate on what matters most- productivity.

Swimming Pool Blog
by Rob Cox,September 22, 2009
Put your mesh pool covered pool to bed improperly, and you may find a mess come spring! Algae is common beneath a mesh cover, especially when the pool is opened in late May/early June. This article focuses on steps you can take to have a trouble free, green free pool opening next spring.
Mesh material covers do allow a small amount of sunlight to reach water - this is true. In suburban areas, pollutants, micro-contaminants, and algae spores and everything else in the air will wash into the pool during rain / snow.
In my opinion, this is the real reason that algae can grow in a pool. Sunlight helps, but the main cause is all of the microscopic junk that washes through a mesh cover.
Fear Not! This can be prevented. Simply use enough winter chemicals to keep any algae from blooming. Enough Algaecide, or Chlorine, or Enzyme. Or a mix of all three, especially during early fall and late spring. I like to use an enzyme and phosphate remover in addition to a good Poly 60 algaecide to keep most of the algae food neutralized. Your pool water should already be fully balanced before closing, and shocked well with granular chlorine several days before your closing date. Pool shock can break apart some algaecides, rendering them useless, so never shock your pool and add algaecide at the same time.
The time of year to make sure that your chemistry is working is March-June. Your closing chemicals will keep the water fresh through autumn. From December-February, most pool water in the snowbelt is too cold to allow algae to grow. But when the water gets over 60 degrees or so, algae will bloom in the absence of proper chemical levels. When the spring is warm, lift up a corner of the cover, and check for algae.
If you notice any algae, unbuckle the cover along one side of the pool, and flip the cover over on top of itself. Brush the walls to get some circulation and redose the pool with algaecide or enzymes or shock chlorine. If you can locate the floater, toss in a few more chlorine tablets. Check the pH while you are at it. Algae likes a high pH, so adjust if necessary to a range of 7.2-7.4.
Keeping the water level from rising too high will also keep water temperature lower in the pool during spring. If you notice a wet spot in any areas, the water may be touching the pool cover, this warms the water and prevents debris from drying and blowing off of the cover. This also creates a "tea bag" effect, allowing leaf tannins to leach into the pool water, which can stain some surfaces. Use a small cover pump or a siphon to lower the water down below the tile line. Water level under a mesh cover should not be lower than 18" from the cover.
Mesh covers are meant to fit tightly around the pool, to keep leaves (and kids) out. If you have flagstone or other flat coping around the edge, leaves may blow under the cover. Using water bags in certain areas, laid over top of the cover's edge, will prevent this. If your cover goes up and over a spa, or has to climb steps, this is another area to gusset up. Using pool noodles or other foam, or pieces of heavy material or inflatable pool toys, can seal up these gaps. Keeping leaves and critters out of the pool will keep your chemicals working to prevent algae growth, instead of attacking this other organic matter.
I have known some mesh pool cover owners that leave the cover on, but de-winterize the pool in early April. They run the filter just a few hours per day until they are ready to open it up in late May, after all the pollen and other spring debris flies. This also helps to spot problems with the equipment early, giving more time to make any repairs. Problems like leaking equipment or heater problems. But the main justification for this is that these pool owners can even open in June, without algae problems.
Mesh covers are great - beautiful, safe, low maintenance, durable. But they do have the drawback of allowing algae growth - if you let it! Completely preventable - just simply add another $20 worth of chemical, at the right time, and you'll save time and money later.

Shacknews is reporting that "multiple sources" inform them that Warren Spector "is said to be leaving" ION Storm, reporting the Austin Texas-based developer has also laid off 20-25 employees. Ion Storm Implodes is the headline on a similar story on IGN, which reports on the layoffs, as well as Eidos' explanation that this was a normal staff reduction associated with the completion of the pair of game projects that were underway at ION, quoting the publisher as dismissing the idea that Warren was laid off as well, though they don't actually come out and say he did not quit. They have yet to receive a reply from ION Storm, but this was Eidos' response to questions about Warren's departure:

catching up: a whole lot of bento pictures!
I'm not sure what this one was for. I think it was for an after-school snack...Ethan has some clubs and activities that keep him after school a couple days a week now and he needs a snack to tide him over. It was either for an after-school bento or a snack on a day he went to the babysitter. Hard to tell. ;-)
Clockwise from top left, and packed in a 4 square Lock & Lock bento box: cheddar cheese, grape jello, carrots, saltine crackers.
The jello was "set" in one of the Lock & Lock squares...not much else to say here. :)
This was an after-school snack a couple weeks ago. I'm almost positive. Note the Halloween-esque cheese shapes. I am so tardy getting things posted. Sigh.
This bento is packed in the divided Lock & Lock lunch set container, just like the one you can win in the giveaway going on now! ;-)
This bento snack box is holding Wheat Thin crackers, cheddar cheese, and kiwi fruit.
I specifically remember sticking a witch hat bento pick in the kiwi section before packing this one up in the lunchbox and kicking myself for not remembering to stick the pick in before I took the picture!
This is a bento lunch for Ethan from early October. I didn't post it right away and then before I knew it I was neck deep in Halloween themes and it just got buried back in my picture files...
Clockwise from top left: cereal bar and homemade granola bite, Wheat Thins and bear-shaped cheddar cheese, carrots & grapes, pickles.
And a similar bento lunch in that fantabulous Lock & Lock box -
Carrots, cereal bar & granola bar, mini saltine crackers & cheddar cheese flowers, strawberries.
Lastly, a little wayward snack bento. This is just a "normal" sized snack, typical for what Ethan takes to school everyday for his morning snack (similar to the batch of snack bentos previously shared)
This is packed in a two-tray Lock & Lock box and holds Goldfish crackers and kiwi fruit.
That's all, folks! Hopefully I'll get back on the ball posting some current bentos tomorrow. :)

Just found you from biting the hand that feeds you...found her through bento boxes and from muffin tin monday (can you say six degrees of separation?) Anyhow your posts are great. I love the idea of making the jello right in the container. I'm just beginning with this, but love the idea. We bring all our food with us because of allergies, so why shouldn't it be fun!

Question--I have been looking for both the wagon wheel pasta and the mini saltines after seeing them in your lunches. Where have you found them? I thought my toddlers would love both but I just can't find them!

The wagon wheel pasta I buy is by Barilla. They make a mini wagon wheel pasta...it says piccolini across the top of the box. The mini saltines are Premium brand and the grocery store I find them at is just a regular store (Publix) and they are stalked right next to the oyster crackers in the cracker section. I hope you can find them!
Eva, food should be fun! It's a great motto. :)

Anselmo Mendes was born in Monção and has followed the tradition of his family of dedicating their lives to agriculture and wine, from generation to generation. The passion for the land took him to "Instituto Superior de Agronomia" (Institute of Agronomy) in Lisbon, where he graduated in 1987. It was during his studies that his passion for wine grew. Two teachers, Pedro Belchior and Virgílio Loureiro, were very important to him. After a post in the "Comissão de Viticultura Regional dos Vinhos Verdes" – C.V.R.V.V. (Vinho Verde Regional Viticulture Committee), he worked for the "Sociedade dos Vinhos Borges" in 1988. At that time, there wasn't any oenologist responsible for the Borges wines, and it was there that Anselmo learned and improved his techniques. Borges it's a producer of Ports, Brandies, and wines from several Portuguese wine regions. Anselmo is still a consultant at there. Because his origin is Monçao, his first Quinta was in Vale do Minho, Vinho Verde region. This region is composed with three major valleys: Vale do Minho (Alvarinho grape), Vale do Lima (Loureiro grape) and Vale do Douro-Baião (Avesso grape). His passion is the Alvarinho grape variety, considered the most elegant Portuguese white grape and it is also the grape with most acidity. In 1998, Anselmo produced his first wine – Muros de Melgaço Alvarinho. Ever since, this wine is awarded year after year, by the Portuguese wine magazine Revista dos Vinhos. This magazine also awarded him in 1997 the Oenologist of the Year. At the moment he produces the following Vinho Verde wines: Muros de Melgaço, Muros Antigos Alvarinho, Muros Antigos, Loureiro, Espumante Muros Antigos, Passionada Loureiro, Alvarinho Curtimenta. Two new wines will be launched soon: Muros Antigos Avesso and Passito. His last achievement came in 2006, when his wine "Muros Antigos Alvarinho 2005" was considered one of the best 100 wines of the world by the magazine Wine Enthusiast. There's no doubt that Anselmo Mendes is responsible for some of the best and most famous wines of Vinho Verde region. Anselmo Mendes has an uncommon characteristic compared with the other Portuguese winemakers. Not only does he have a strong passion for viticulture, the techniques and processes, but he also has considerable experience in this field. His main concern is, first and foremost, in the vineyard because it is there that quality is born. The fact that quality white wines have been resurfacing in the last few years is not a mere coincidence due to the work and development by Anselmo Mendes. Not only in the re-organization of the vineyard but also in the cellar, where he seeks foremost to respect the true characteristics of each grape variety. Anselmo is a very versatile winemaker. He advises on the production of several wines at Quintas in Vinho Verde region, such as: Casa de Vila Verde, Provam, Quintas de Melgaço, Casa de Cello, Quinta do Ameal, Quinta de Lourosa and Touquinheiras. In Douro, with his talent and know-how, Anselmo Mendes has contributed to the prestige of important trademarks and Quintas, namely: Quinta da Gaivosa, Quinta do Vale da Raposa, Quinta de Santa Júlia, Vinha de Romezal, Quinta de Covelos, Calheiros Cruz, Domingos Alves de Sousa, Quinta da Silveira, Quinta da Peça and Borges wines. In Dão he's the winemaker of Pedro Paraíso producer. In Alentejo, he's responsible for winemaking of all Sociedade Agrícola Vale de Joana wines namely Grou. In 2003, he decided to produce wines in another region: Dão. He has chosen this region because of the quality of the grapes and he also thinks that this region has a potential still unknown. His Quinta is located in Tábua, in the south Dão, where the wines develop more fruit aromas and structure, and it has 30ha of planted red vines: 40% of Touriga Nacional, 40% of Tinta Roriz and 20% of Alfrocheiro. There's also a very old vineyard of white grapes with around 46 varieties all mixed. In May 2007, his first Dão wine came out: ONLY by anselmo mendes is a 2004 vintage red with Touriga Nacional and Tinta Roriz grape varieties and a 2005 white, with the same name, vinified with more than 30 white grape varieties.

Following the Final Four's steady diet of NCAA public service TV ads "most of our student-athletes go pro in something other than their sports," Colorado State's athletic department is providing more than lip service to the phrase.
The department is running a mandatory career night for all student-athletes Thursday night. Nearly 400 are expected to attend the job fair with 30 local companies.

I'm going to say something loud and bold: I'm glad the Mets traded Scott Kazmir.
I firmly believe that the much-maligned deal is the reason the Mets are in first place today.
And stories like this one by Lee Jenkins of the New York Times send me right over the edge. Here's a sampling:
Kazmir Deal Is a Debt the Mets Still Owe
"Four out of every five days, the Mets are a resurgent franchise, flush with charismatic leaders and bankable stars, hailed for their progressive thinking and bold strategy.
"But on the fifth day, when Scott Kazmir takes the mound for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, everything the Mets have accomplished comes temporarily undone. No longer are they the team that leads the National League East. They are only the team that traded Kazmir for damaged goods named Víctor Zambrano.
"The trade was bad enough, with Kazmir possibly bound for the All-Star Game and Zambrano out for the season because of elbow surgery. But add to the package all the teasing, tweaking and public flogging the Mets have endured, and maybe it really was their worst deal since they sent Nolan Ryan to the Angels for Jim Fregosi in 1971."
Jenkins makes some good points later in the story, but I absolutely reject the scenario he lays out here.
Nothing becomes undone and the team is still in first place. And why are they in first place? That's easy. It's because Jim Duquette traded fireballing prospect Scott Kazmir to the Devil Rays for sore-armed starter Victor Zambrano.
Follow me here. It was a horrible trade. Potentially the Ryan-esque blunder to which Jenkins makes reference. A certain "What in the heck were you thinking?" deal.
And that's the key. It made people like owner Fred Wilpon, or whoever helps him call the shots, wonder what exactly were they thinking, and who is making that kind of decision. It was a wake-up call, showing that something was seriously wrong with the Mets organization.
You have to know that something is wrong before you can get help from the doctor.
As soon as the season was over, Wilpon hired Omar Minaya away from the soon-to-be-moving Expos to be general manager and put him in control of baseball decisions.
Once Omar took the helm, he made some key decisions:
1) Allowing old but popular pitchers John Franco and Al Leiter to walk, and both moves were heavily criticized. The fact that neither lasted the season with their new teams proves Omar knew what he was doing. But also, it came out later that each of these guys had the ear of people making decisions and had a hand in decisions to send certain players and even a manager packing. There's no way to prove it, but I think if the Duke was still around, so would be Leiter and Franco, aging and ineffective.
2) Signing Pedro Martinez. It was openly assumed that Pedro would be returning to the Red Sox. But much was made of Omar's speaking Spanish and recruiting right in Pedro's living room It didn't hurt that the Wilpons opened the coffers to exceed any other offer, but think it is safe to say that without Omar, there would be no Pedro at Shea.
3) Signing Carlos Beltran. Everyone, and I mean everyone, had Beltran ticketed for the Bronx. But after Pedro came on board, people started taking the Mets more seriously. Again, a seven-year deal worth more than $100 million brings a lot of seriousness. But we also hear about Omar's passionate recruiting trips to Beltran's home in Puerto Rico. I think we can say that without signing Pedro, the Mets would have had no chance at Beltran.
4) Omar went hard after Carlos Delgado, and would likely had got him had Delgado's agent not been a goofball and then-new-Marlin Leiter not have dispensed some bad and bitter advice to avoid the Apple. But because Omar had made the big signings that year, he was able to hold on to prospects that he was able to dangle in front of the fire-selling Fish and finally get Delgado at Shea this year, and later catcher Paul Lo Duca.
Omar doesn't get credit for David Wright or Jose Reyes -- or the blame for Kazuo Matsui -- but I'm pretty comfortable in giving him all the props for Pedro, Beltran and Delgado. And without that trio, I think we're still looking up at the Phillies and the Braves.
So that's the trade: Prospect Scott Kazmir -- and a lot of cash-- for Pedro Martinez, Carlos Beltran and Carlos Delgado. I'd make that trade all day, every day.
And Kazmir's in Tampa Bay, where he'll never hurt us. And in four more years he'll reach free agency and will flee Tropicana Field for a deep-pocketed team -- like the Mets!
And by the way, Nolan Ryan would never have become a mega-star in New York. And we went to the World Series without him in 1973 and beat him in the playoffs in 1986.
