I talked about separating dates from times for certain columns in your database. One thing I have never really used before in SQL Server 2000 is user-defined datatypes and rules. Rules are like CHECK constraints, but from what I understand they are very non-standard.

DateTime Data
I don't like storing dates along with the time portion in my database tables. Sure, I use the datatype, but I wish SQL provided a "Date" datatype and a "Time" datatype that were separate. It really sometimes requires too much work in T-SQL to separate the date portion from the time portion, and often in a WHERE clasue you don't care about the time, you just want data for a single day.

This Slashdot post from John Carmack (thanks shul and Frans) offers his reflections on the release of DOOM 3, as he proudly says: "I think it is the best game we have ever made, and it exceeded all of my expectations." A subsequent reply from the id Software lead programmer on the subject of the OpenSource release of Quake III Arena, states: "By the end of the year. There are still a lot of higher priority things, but it is coming soon. Hopefully punkbuster will keep the source release from having any negative impact on the player community."

Xbox 360

The Elder Scrolls V: Dragonborn is the third DLC available for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
The plot of Dragonborn involves unraveling the mystery behind an attack on the Dragonborn's life that leads to the mysterious island of Solstheim, an island in the realm of Morrowind. A strange cult seeks to bring about the return of a former Dragon Priest and previous ruler of the island. Wheras the Dragon Priests of Skyrim served their dragon masters, this particular individual rebelled against the dragons and is revealed to be the first to possess the dragon's blood, and was able to absorb a dragon's soul, making him the first of the Dragonborn.
In addition, this DLC features many new quests, characters, armor, weapons, items, and shouts, including the ability to tame and ride a dragon.

EditGetting Started
To pursue the content of the Dragonborn Expansion, players must have completed Skyrim's main quest line up to the Quest: The Horn of Jurgen Windcaller. While certain aspects of the questline differ if you have completed Skyrim's Main Quest Line, it is not necessary to begin the Dragonborn Quest Line.
Players can either wait until they are accosted by two cultists in Skyrim that will ask if you are the Dragonborn, whereupon defeating them will yield a clue as to their motives - or players can simply head to Windhelm and take a boat to the island of Solstheim. For either method, encountering the cultists will begin the Dragonborn Main Quest Line.

Chester man challenges police computer search in sex abuse caseBy JAMES A. KIMBLE
Union Leader Correspondent
May 13. 2013 8:39PM
BRENTWOOD - A Chester man charged with an alleged series of sexual assaults against a young girl in the 1990s is asking a judge to reconsider whether police had the right to search his computer, which ultimately led to his indictment in four separate cases.Gary Britton, 60, is headed to trial next week in Rockingham County Superior Court on two counts of aggravated felonious sexual assault and two counts of felonious sexual assault for allegedly abusing a girl between 1991 and 1995. The alleged assaults began when the girl was under age 10, prosecutors said.Michael Verronneau, a digital forensic expert, testified for the defense on Monday, suggesting that Britton's landlord had to go searching for the images of child pornography on his home computer rather than seeing it in plain sight.The landlord testified at a previous hearing that he simply turned on the computer and saw the images. Chester police used that information to obtain a search warrant. Judge N. William Delker had already ruled in March that the police search of Britton's apartment and home computer was legal, but he allowed defense lawyers to add testimony to their bid to have evidence in the case thrown out.Delker is now reconsidering his decision. Assistant County Attorney Brad Bolton argued that Britton's computer could have been only partially shut down, or in sleep mode, and that the images could have remained on the screen."So, it's possible for someone to push a button and for that screen to come up," Bolton said, showing exhibits of the images recorded by police. "It's possible," Verronneau said.
Britton was being evicted by his landlords on Sept. 22, 2011, when Chester police were preparing to arrest him for failing to register as a sex offender.Once the landlords allegedly found child pornography on Britton's computer they called police. That set off a wider investigation by Chester police that resulted in Britton being indicted on the sex assault case, failing to register as a sex offender, being a felon in possession of a firearm, possessing child pornography.Britton, who was convicted of aggravated felonious sexual assault in 1983, is barred from owning a firearm because he is a felon.
He is expected to face separate trials on charges of possession of child sexual abuse images and being a felon in possession of a weapon.He pleaded guilty for failing to register as a sex offender and served 12 months in jail.

Published January 13, 2015
The Associated Press has learned that Andretti Autosport has signed on to compete in the environmentally friendly FIA Formula E championship next season.
Formula E will feature zero-emission cars racing in 10 cities around the world.
Michael Andretti says he plans to run one car for the championship, while his second entry could be a "star car" using well-known drivers such as IndyCar reigning champion Ryan Hunter-Reay, Marco Andretti or James Hinchcliffe based on their availability.
The races will be held September 2014 to June 2015 for a "winter season." Teams will have two drivers and four series-provided electric cars in the first season.
The car batteries will last up to 25 minutes at a time, so drivers will have to switch cars during the race while their batteries recharge.

GTA: Hot Coffee controversy was 'draining and upsetting', says Houser
Grand Theft Auto 5 chatter is also throwing up some tasty insight into the series' past, and Rockstar vice president Dan Houser has shed light on the studio's reaction to the infamous 'Hot Coffee' sex mini-game scandal that broke out around GTA: San Andreas. It was an upsetting time, Houser suggests.
Speaking with The Guardian, Houser discussed the studio's reaction to the fallout from the Hot Coffee content. It was left out of the core game but left in the source code and was subsequently discovered then flagged up by hackers, sparking a media outcry that led to staff members being interrogated by the Federal Trade Commission.
Houser recalled, "It was draining and upsetting, a tough time in the company," and added, "The massive social decay that we were supposed to induce hasn't happened. So in that regard, a lot of those debates that used to go on, they're not such a big deal now.
"We never felt that we were being attacked for the content, we were being attacked for the medium, which felt a little unfair. If all of this stuff had been put into a book or a movie, people wouldn't have blinked an eye. And there are far bigger issues to worry about in society than this."
What's your take on the Hot Coffee blow-out? Was it too much, or should Rockstar have been more careful? Let us know below.
Thanks Kotaku AU.

Swing arm (swingarm) swap help
Doubledown, in Yamaha 2 Stroke
Recommended Posts

By Lone Danger
Ok so I'm looking for opinions from those who have been on yz125s and 150 exc/xcw's and maybe the ktm 200's exc/xcw's. You gotta be out there.
Here's the deal...I'm 5'7" 165lbs. A couple years back I was looking for a small bike for my wife to learn on and for me to play around with and race. Could only afford one bike. I got a '09 ktm 105 sx. Once I got it sprung for my weight it was great. I have been top five consistently in my local harescrambles B class, believe it or not. Ya, you were not the only ones shocked. And did pretty good in the local mx races as well, junior class up here in Canada. Lack of power was sometimes an issue but I learned to deal with it and just scream, scream, scream!
However my wife is a complete beginner and she is scared of it. I have since moved her to a 4 stroke.
Just got a mint '01 yz15 mid summer. Like less than 200 hrs! I have absolutely loved it on the mx track. Suspension is perfect and I love the extra power. I had planned to set it up for woods/mx with a suspension revalve. However, did a harescramble race a month ago that was really technical. Granted I have not done anything to the suspension minus clickers, had too much psi in the tires (13 front and 15 rear) (yes I know that's wonkey, I only had time to get a heavy duty tube in the front and had a stock tube in back. Less psi in the back would have been instant pinch flat because its so rocky) and it was running rich. I had to scream the thing to keep it running and even changed a plug mid race. Well I'm sure you can guess but it was the worst experience I have ever had on a motorcycle. The more open sections I passed a lot of people but the tech sections required way more effort than I liked and the suspension beat the hell out of me!!! Like my knees, wrists, and shoulders were just done. (I was out there for three hours).
So keep in mind that I just came off a 105sx with suspension mods (set up for woods/mx). I have no problem slipping clutch and shifting precisely, yatta yatta. (I don't think the 105 would have done well here either due to even less power, however...) I've been second guessing fixing this 125 up for woods ever since I rode a friends '09 ktm 250xcw. I rode it on a local mx track. The power was just so effortless and I was absolutely floored by how the suspension worked. I never thought that I could hit the woops that hard and clear every jump on the track on an xcw and feel THAT good! It felt a lot heavier though, and I think the price tag on these things are going to be a stretch.
So here's my question. I want the lightness of a 125, but want to be able to race both woods and mx. How does a 150 exc/xcw ENGINE compare to an mx 125 engine? I love the 125 engine, but more low end would be usefull in tech areas. But if there is not a huge difference, I will probably just revalve the yz for woods and go tubless, etc. The 150exc's are so expensive and I hardly ever even see one for sale unless its brand new. I don't want the weight of a 200/250/300. I barely touch the ground on a 125....so it has to at least be light. Is it worth waiting for a 150 engine? Thanks guys.
By doolan
Hi guys I have a 2018 yz250 looking at changing springs front and rear I'm 200 pound ride b class moto.
Having problems choosing spring weights using the calculators as mx tech say I need .45 fork springs and 5.2 rear but racetech say .48kg forks and 5.8kg rear.
What are other bigger guys
By YamahaYz1
Hey TT, I know there's endless topics on YZ250/ two stroke tuning in general but I have not been able to find one that helps me get my 09 YZ250 set up for my riding style and where I ride so I'm here asking for help. I got this bike around 1.5 years ago and have not known how to set it up properly. I know no one can give me a perfect set up but I'd like a good starting setup to work from and tweak to perfection. Throughout this time I've had this bike, its always been covering the bottom of the entire silencer and dripping all over the swing arm and rims with oil. Also, the joint between silencer and expansion pipe has oil around it too but I've heard I have to close the gap a little to squeeze the silencer a little tighter and stop the leakage there. I don't have too much experience messing with carbs but I've messed around with previous two strokes and tuned them a little better. I change the oil on my bike after 15-20 hours on it and clean and oil the air filter after almost every ride. The sparkplugs never last me more than a few months but recently have been lasting me no more than a few weeks. With the excess oil from the pipe and spark plug fouling you can see why I need to set my bike up to stop this.
The bike:
Completely stock with V-Force 3 Reeds and a FMF Shorty silencer.
Usually running around 32:1 premix with 91 pump fuel because I prefer to keep it well lubricated instead of running rich.
I ride enduro in Ontario, Canada. So mostly single track and some fire roads but nothing close to MX and not a lot of time wide open. Therefore, probably mostly 1/4-1/2 or 1/4-3/4 throttle range.
Where I ride:
Usually 0-500' above sea level. With temperatures ranging from around 15-35 degrees Celsius (55-95 Fahrenheit).
If anyone can give me a setup to go from, that would be very much appreciated. Even multiple set ups for different temperature ranges or any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks and sorry for the long read, I just didn't want to leave anything out. Ask any questions if you have any, too.

Hey guys... so I have a problem... I took the bike at Cal City, broke it in, and while I was doing so, the bike was bogging in first gear (Yes, first gear). Also it doesn't idle at all. I have to keep blipping it otherwise it'll stall. So I adjusted the screw circled in image 1. Well I was listening to the sound of the of the bike, yet the rpm's weren't increasing, and it was still stalling. So then, I unscrewed the screw in image 2, well I found out that it was fully twisted to the right. So then, I twisted it to the left, still nothing; it was still stalling... where's the idle screw? I am sure that the screw in image 1 is for the air/fuel mixture screw, and the screw in image 2 is the idle screw, just broken? I don't know, any and every help would be appreciated.

On the road yesterday from Memphis (32F and snow/rain mix, no salt on the roadway) to Jackson (37F), MS., I noticed my moto was beginning to act like a waverunner, bobbing up and down going down the road. Later I realized the rear shock was leaking and lost all oil. Today I rode from Jackson (36F) to BMW Motorcycles of Baton Rouge (54F and sunny ) and they have a replacement shock being FedEx'd and will replace it tomorrow.
I was running with the ESA set to 1 rider with baggage. Total weight of passenger and baggage ~430lbs. I had my moto in storage (locked and secured) for a month prior to departing from Memphis. There are approx 38,000 miles currently on the odometer.
A couple of questions:
- Could the weather be a contributing factor of the failure?
- Is there a recommendation of a replacement shock other than BMW parts?
- Is anyone familiar with frequency of a failure such as this? Nothing came up in searching the forum (recently anyway) and at the shop they haven't seen many failures.
- Any recommendations/comments?
Since I am heading to mexico and Central America for 3 month road trip, I am fortunate this happened reasonably close to a BMW dealer rather than the middle of some remote area in CA.
Hats off to BMW Motorcycles of Baton Rouge. I had emailed the evening before from Jackson and Jim was expecting me and even greeted me by name when I walked in (also discount on parts and shipping). Looking up my VIN, there is another recall on a brake line I had a recall on before, so they will also take care of that. Also there were 2 other people in the store who had noticed me riding down the road, they mentioned to me how they had commented to each other on how low my GS was riding.
Thanks for your comments,

Estranged husband of missing woman a 'person of interest'
By MICHAEL COUSINEAU
New Hampshire Union Leader
At center, the daughters of missing Charlestown woman Kelly Robarge, Ciera and Gabrielle Robarge, are surrounded by friends and family at a vigil for their mother Tuesday night. (MEGHAN PIERCE/Union Leader Correspondent)
AG says body found in Unity is likely that of missing Charlestown woman
Husband of missing Charlestown woman arrested in Vt. after chase
Tears, fears flow at vigil for missing Charlestown woman
The estranged husband of a missing Charlestown woman is "an obvious person of interest" in his wife's disappearance, a state prosecutor said.
James Robarge, 43, of Rockingham, Vt., remained behind bars in a Vermont jail Thursday on unrelated motor vehicle charges. He called a Vermont medical center Tuesday and said "he might harm himself and he might harm others," Senior Assistant Attorney General Susan Morrell said.
Robarge pleaded not guilty at his arraignment in a Brattleboro, Vt., courtroom Wednesday afternoon to charges of attempting to elude, a felony, and reckless operation, a misdemeanor, according to a court official. He was being held on $5,000 cash or surety bail. Bail conditions included not operating a vehicle or consuming alcohol, the official said.
Mr. Robarge is accused of fleeing police before he was arrested at the Rockingham Medical Group in Bellows Falls Tuesday. He remained in the Southern State Correctional Facility in Springfield, Vt. on Thursday, according to a jail employee.
A week ago, the New Hampshire Attorney General's Office put out a statement saying they believe Kelly Robarge "suffered significant physical harm or death."
On Thursday, Morrell said Mr. Robarge was "an obvious person of interest being Kelly's husband and having been estranged for several months and she filed for divorce Thursday, the same day she disappeared, so he's an obvious person of interest in this investigation."
Morrell said Mr. Robarge "was arrested on independent criminal charges" separate from the Charlestown investigation.
Searchers who have been looking for the missing 42-year-old woman in both Vermont and New Hampshire took Thursday off.
"They are going to resume the searches (Friday) and I believe through the weekend and then if there are no results, we'll have to reassess where we've been and if there are any other areas we should search and if we have any additional tips," Morrell said.
Dozens of searchers from Fish and Game, state police and local police as well as volunteers have searched "targeted areas" in the two states, Morrell said.
"As we've said from the beginning, we were concerned for her physical safety and thought she could be seriously injured or dead and with every passing day when she's not in touch with other family members, our concerns grow deeper," Morrell said.
In a news release, Vermont State Police said that it became involved Tuesday after Bellows Falls, Vt., police received a report about a suspicious person that made an appointment at the Rockingham Medical Group.
"The reporting party also advised that 'This person was likely to become violent' and may be involved in a missing person case from Charlestown, New Hampshire," the news release said. Police said the suspicious person was identified as Mr. Robarge.
Vermont State Police said Bellows Falls police spotted Robarge traveling south on Vermont Route 121 in a 1996 Chevrolet Blazer with Vermont license plates. Officers stopped the Blazer, but Robarge refused to exit and sped into the village of Bellows Falls.
Robarge drove the Blazer into the medical building's parking lot, nearly striking pedestrians and coming to rest against a planter near the building's entrance. Robarge then immediately fled the vehicle and he ran inside the facility.
After running down several hallways, Robarge was taken into custody by officers from the Bellows Falls Police Department.

I like this book because of the daring characters. An example of a daring character is when Swan Circling stands in front of a runaway horse and the horse magically stops so the baby is saved. In this book the main character learns a hard lesson because of a mistake she made. I like that this book teaches lessons. I also liked the many descriptions of the characters and animals, and the illustrations were really good too.
I think people who like bittersweet but happy endings would like this book. I think girls would like this book more than boys.

Mass. residents charged after Hollis man beaten and stabbedBy APRIL GUILMET
Union Leader Correspondent
May 17. 2013 4:01PM
HOLLIS - Three Massachusetts residents face multiple felony charges after allegedly impersonating police and attacking a Hollis man in his mobile home early Friday morning.
Hollis police received a 911 call about 2 a.m. from an unidentified 41-year-old resident reporting people attempting to break into his Mooar Hill Road residence.
The victim stayed on the phone as intruders attacked him, police said. The victim was able to get free and made a second 911 call.
Hollis Police Chief James Sartell said the injured man was located at a neighbor's home. He was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital in Nashua with multiple stab wounds, lacerations and blunt trauma injuries.
The victim remained hospitalized Friday afternoon. He was being treated for injuries considered serious, though not life-threatening, police said.
Police arrested Lowell, Mass., residents Cynthia Nagele, 57, Ralph Doucette, 53, and Paul Carbonneau, 43. Nagele was arrested at the scene, Doucette and Carbonneau were apprehended a short time later.
Police said the men claimed to be police officers before assaulting the victim.
Police said Nagele attacked the victim with multiple weapons including a hammer and knife. She faces first-degree assault and burglary charges, both Class A felonies, and simple assault, a Class A misdemeanor.
Doucette and Carbonneau face felony charges of burglary as well as misdemeanor charges of simple assault and impersonation of a police officer.
Bail was set at $25,000 cash for Nagele and $15,000 cash for Carbonneau. Doucette refused the services of a bail commissioner. They will be arraigned in the Nashua Circuit Court on Monday morning.

~ Jeremy's friend Grace said that at the #FreeHammond/#FreeBB fundraiser in NY in August. It is doubtless true. Jeremy Hammond is a prisoner pending sentencing for computer hacking crimes. His crimes were acts of civil disobedience, acts of protest against an encroaching surveillance state. He is part of a new breed of electronic dissident, a list populated by such pop heroes as Edward Snowden, Chelsea Manning, Barrett Brown, Julian Assange and the PayPal14. Jeremy faces a maximum of 10 years under the plea agreement he signed. The government will want the full 10 years. Will you please help us ask the judge for less time?
Jeremy's sentencing is not going to be delayed any further. It will go forward mid-November. Letters to the court in support of Jeremy need to be in by no later than the 15th of October so they can be submitted to the court - that means you should do it now - TODAY! This is important. If you care about Jeremy Hammond, the freedom of the internet or the encroaching surveillance state, you need to take action on this now - this is the opportunity to have your voice heard on this matter. Any and all help that you all can give, including both passing this along and writing your own letter to the court about why they should not give Jeremy 10 years is not only appreciated, but is desperately needed. Please spread this message around and let's get as many letters as we can and let's make sure they are all thoughtful and powerful. This is important for Jeremy and important for freedom. Please speak now on this crucial issue.
In March 2012 Jeremy was arrested in his Chicago home and charged with violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, the same legislation used to prosecute Aaron Swartz. This outdated law, written before the Internet was even created, gives absurdly broad powers to corporations and prosecutors to criminalize an array of online activity and pursue extreme and disproportionate sentences. By contrast, of Jeremy's co-defendants in Ireland and in the U.K. none will spend more than 16 months in prison, and many have been released already.
Jeremy has been denied bail, cut off from his family, and held in solitary confinement– treatment normally reserved for the most egregious offenses. He did nothing for personal gain and everything in hopes of making the world a better place. He is facing a maximum sentence of ten years, but the minimum is zero. He has been jailed since March 2012 awaiting trial and now sentencing. It's time for him to come home.

For those that wish to participate but still wish to retain their privacy/anonymity: I will collect letters to go to Ms. Kellman's office. If you want your letter printed out and do not want to send it straight to Jeremy's attorneys of record, Ms. Kellman and Sarah Kuntsler, you can send them to me and I will overnight the letters.

Do not hesitate to write from the heart, and/or emphasize anything you feel is important. One of the goals of your letter is to enable the reader to see Jeremy through your eyes.
It is best to write in plain, everyday, conversational language, as if you were speaking to the reader. If possible, your letter should be typewritten, and, if appropriate, on business stationary, and addressed to me. I will deliver it to the parties that will be reading it.
If you are anonymous and wish to remain anonymous, please give enough identifying information about you to allow the reader to understand who it is that you are, without giving too much information.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- You've heard that shopping for health insurance under President Barack Obama's health care overhaul will be like using Travelocity or Amazon.
But tech industry experts and state officials say for many people it will be more mundane — like a call to the help desk.
New health insurance markets for millions of uninsured Americans are coming October 1.
But the deadline crunch is causing some states to delay online tools that could make it easier for consumers to find the right health plan.
And the feds and the states are investing in massive call centers.
The administration says consumers will like what they see. Others see a work in progress.
Consumers will be able to sign up starting in October, but benefits don't kick in until January 1.

Blistering Heat Continues to Bake Western U.S.
Featuring: Dr. Salvatore Pardo, Associate Chair, Emergency Department, Long Island Jewish Medical Center
Temperatures topping 110 and even 120 degrees Fahrenheit have much of the American West sweltering, and health officials are warning that people must do what they can to stay cool as the heat wave continues.
Temperatures in California's Death Valley hit 128 degrees on Sunday, NBC News reported, tying the record for the hottest June day anywhere in the United States. Thermometers soared to 117 on Sunday in Las Vegas, only the third time that's happened since the National Weather Service has kept records. By 1 a.m. Monday morning, Las Vegas was still baking at 102 degrees.
Residents of Phoenix were faced with punishing 119 degree-heat on Saturday, a record according to Weather.com, and Salt Lake City sweltered under 105 degree-temperatures for two days in a row -- a record-breaker for that city in June), NBC said.
In Yarnell, Ariz., 19 firefighters perished battling a wildfire that experts say has been encouraged by high temperatures and windy conditions, CBS News/Associated Press reported. It's one of the deadliest wildfires involving firefighters in decades, and is still raging out of control.
One man in Las Vegas died due to heat-related causes and another was hospitalized Saturday, authorities said. In both cases, the men were found without working air conditioning.
The heat wave will ebb slowly but is expected to last for the next few days, meteorologists said.
Health experts said there are key steps everyone can take to minimize their risk from extreme heat.
One essential step: Check up on elderly or ill relatives living on their own.
"Due to various reasons, the elderly are prone to suffer from the extreme heat," said Dr. Salvatore Pardo, associate chairman of the emergency department at Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New Hyde Park, N.Y.
"It is vital for loved ones and friendly neighbors to enter the home and make sure they have functioning air conditioning or access to a cool environment -- for example, a cooling center, senior center, public shopping mall -- during extreme heat events," he said. "This should be done at the beginning, during and after the extreme heat event."
Dr. Michael Ammazzalorso, chief medical officer at Winthrop-University Hospital in Mineola, N.Y., offered up other potentially lifesaving tips.
Keeping the shades drawn in the daytime can keep homes cooler, he said, and "if you live in a split-level home, stay downstairs. Heat rises, so upstairs will always be hotter than your living room. Open windows upstairs if you have no air conditioning to keep the room cool and have a fan blowing."
Alcoholic beverages dehydrate, so stick to water or beverages without alcohol, sugar or caffeine, Ammazzalorso said. Wear light, light-colored and loose clothing to stay cooler.
"Let the children play outside in the early morning or early evening when the air quality is at a healthier level and the temperatures are cooler," he added. "Head to a local swimming pool or beach to cool off, but never swim alone and be sure to observe all posted swimming advisories."
According to Ammazzalorso, signs of heat exhaustion include skin that is cool, moist and pale but may look flushed at times. Dizziness or fainting, nausea or vomiting, fatigue and headaches are also potential signs of heat exhaustion.
Signs of an even more serious condition known as heat stroke include red, hot and dry skin, high body temperatures (105 degrees or above), a rapid and weak pulse, rapid and shallow breathing and changes in consciousness. In these cases, 911 should be dialed immediately, Ammazzalorso said.

Fifth Element Technical Review, The (UK - BD RB)
Chris checks out the new Fox Blu-ray release of this Luc Besson sci-fi movie
It is the year 2263, and a planet-sized sphere of ultimate evil is heading straight to Earth with the intention of wiping out every living creature on the planet. The only hope for the future rests with Korben Dallas (Bruce Willis), an ex-military man who now makes a miserable living as a cab driver, priest Vito Cornelius (Ian Holm), and a mysterious young woman named Leeloo (Milla Jovovich).
Charged with the task of recovering four sacred stones—representing the elements of Earth, Wind, Fire and Water (there's a disco group in there somewhere)—from a stunning Diva on the beautiful planet of Fhloston, Korben must face many challenges along the way. The agents of evil, led by the despicable Zorg (Gary Oldman), are also searching for the stones, and they will stop at nothing to achieve their objective.
Long story short, I requested this title weeks ago and it's taken this long to get to me on a round-robin basis. Anyway, it's well past the street date now so I've opted for my favourite time-saving device: the technical (formerly mini) review. If you're looking for a more in-depth discussion of the film might I suggest my DVD review, linked at the bottom of this page. Anyway, on with the assessment of Fox's Blu-ray.
We begin the technical assessment with my main reason for wanting to see the disc: the transfer. Just in case you're not familiar with the whole Fifth Elelement on Blu-ray saga I'll fill you in. Sony originally released the film in 2006 to universally negative reviews, owing to a particularly poor MPEG-2 transfer that had inconsistent detail and more than its fair share of film and digital artefacts. Sony made amends in 2007 when they released a remastered version utilising AVC encoding and a BD50 disc (the earlier release was a BD25). The combination of a more efficient codec and greater storage along with a cleaner print and less processing resulted in a much nicer looking version of the film. Over time it has come in for a bit of criticism for its harsh 'digital' appearance typified by hard edges, but I still think it's a pretty decent looking disc considering its place in the format's lifecycle. However, the saga doesn't end there. A Scandinavian disc recently surfaced with a brand new, Luc Besson approved transfer. I was reasonably sure that this UK disc would arrive with said transfer and the Gaumont logo at the beginning of the film confirmed it.
As mentioned the new transfer was approved by Besson. Anyone who's seen Leon on Blu-ray might have an inkling what that could mean. Basically we're talking more or less the same quality as the remastered Sony effort with a couple of noticeable differences both good and bad. The first thing you'll notice is that it's been contrast boosted (see, told ya it was like Leon). This results in blown out highlights that obscure detail, even during scenes that occur in space. Colours have also been tinkered with and the palette has been pushed very firmly towards the warmer end of the spectrum, so think lots of yellows, oranges and reds. The image now 'pops' off of the screen, but it looks slightly unnatural. On the plus side the new transfer has not been sharpened so grain looks more natural (the Sony version is heavier and clumpier) and edges are less harsh, and while some halos are still present they're much less noticeable. Casting my mind back to my old DVD review the contrast boosting and palette shift are actually nothing new, as I complained about similar things back in 2003.
Sound like a case of swings and roundabouts? Well maybe. To be brutally honest I'm probably over-analysing and I'm sure most people will be perfectly happy with either version of the transfer. Both have their issues, so it's up to the viewer to decide whether they prefer the more natural palette and contrast of the Sony disc and put up with the artificial sharpening, or plump for the more film-like Fox effort and live with the nuclear whites and cartoonish colours. On balance I think I prefer the Sony disc, but the new transfer is director approved so what do I know? In any event I've included shots from both the UK and US remastered discs below so you can compare and contrast to your heart's content.
Okay, I promise this section will be a lot shorter (I'm a videophile, not an audiophile). Lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 and lossy Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtracks are the order of the day here, with the former being my track of choice for the review. In a fit of overkill Sony outfitted the remastered US disc with both LPCM and TrueHD 5.1 tracks that sounded very nice indeed (especially the TrueHD with its punchier bass). The DTS-HD track on this disc is every bit as capable, offering up plenty of multi-channel thrills and spills. There's a lot of discrete action right from the outset as Mondoshawan space ships cruise through space with smooth pans and the evil planet forms with a fiery explosion that ripples across the soundstage. This impressive surround utilisation continues throughout the film, with the many action sequences serving as major highlights: traffic whizzes by as Corben Dallas weaves through the city skyline; bullets fly all over the place as Zorg demonstrates the ZF-1; and the climactic shootout aboard the cruise liner on Fhloston sounds great. Also of note is the bass, which is extremely potent in even the most pedestrian of sequences but really kicks in whenever there's a gunfight or an explosion. Dialogue is generally pretty well balanced in the mix, although there are a few instances where it becomes slightly muddled, mainly when Eric Serra's wonderful score is in full effect. Beyond that there's not a lot to say, other than it's a pretty terrific soundtrack that's definitely on a par with Sony's TrueHD effort.
The disc includes nearly all of the extras found on the Special Edition DVD. First up there's a visual effects commentary track followed by the near-fifty minute documentary 'Discovering the Fifth Element', which covers all of the usual stuff you'd expect to find in such a feature. 'Imagining the Fifth Element' covers the special effects design while 'The Art of Jean-Claude Mezieres' handles the conceptual art angle. Next up comes 'An Audience with Diva Plavalaguna', which examines how the diva sequences was created, and this is followed by 'Elements of Style', which deals with Jean Paul Gotier's costume design. Things draw to a close with a collection of trailers and TV spots and the MTV Cannes Premiere. To my knowledge this is currently the most feature-packed Blu-ray release of The Fifth Element available. Okay, so there's nothing here that hasn't been seen before, but it's better than a bare-bones disc any day of the week.
As far as I'm concerned The Fifth Element is a guilty pleasure. I can sympathise with those who hate it, but I've always had a soft spot for the film ever since it was played to death on cable during the late nineties. In fact I think that's what converted me, as I remember being fairly nonplussed the first time I saw it. Anyway, it's taken an age to arrive on Blu-ray over here and I'm sorry to say that the disc is a bit of a mixed bag. The audio is top-notch and as previously mentioned it's the most bountiful release extras-wise, but the video transfer just doesn't sit right with me. It's not a bad transfer by any means, but like Leon before it there is something slightly annoying about having your retinas burned out by excessively bright whites. Still, if extras are your thing and you're not overly bothered by the blooming you could do a lot worse than to pick this up.
* Note: The images below are taken from the Blu-ray release and resized for the page. Full-resolution captures are available by clicking individual images, but due to .jpg compression they are not necessarily representative of the quality of the transfer.

Wow! That is quite a difference on some shots. I honestly don't know which version to go for. I was holding off on getting any BR version of this until the UK release, and now... Im still not sure which version I prefer... :/

I think I prefer the director approved, personally, but I haven't seen it in motion so its hard to say for sure. The Sony remastered disc wasn't terrible (close ups look great), but the clumpy edges you mentioned were very distracting. Particularly in backgrounds or scenes filmed from a distance. It looks like Besson's transfer vastly improves on that.
A friend of mine had this on blu-ray and was telling me that he was disappointed in the image. I told him they remastered it and had an exchange program, so we called them up and gave them the upc number. Turns out the one he watched WAS the remastered one.

The screenshots from the UK disc look better than the US transfer
Go technical review! I'm still waiting for Supes BD set review though (in case you have access to it). I heard the transfers are generally gorgeous (Supes Returns notwithstanding).
Chris Gould Editor Join Date: May 2001 Location: United Kingdom Posts: 7,171
They didn't send us all of the Superman discs so I couldn't do it (we don't review incomplete stuff). Other sites have had the same problem I believe. I wouldn't call them gorgeous transfers as only a few of them have been remastered.
Is that so? I heard of 7 movies, 4 got new HD masters (Supes Extended, Supes II TC, Supes III, & Quest for Peace). Also, the complaints are mainly come from Supes II Donner Cut & Supes Return.
Chris Gould Editor Join Date: May 2001 Location: United Kingdom Posts: 7,171
Maybe I should have said some, as few usually indicates three, but yeah some have been remastered but they aren't among the best looking transfers I've seen. Superman II looks a lot better than the Donner cut and the Superman SE is better looking than the theatrical cut, but none of them are hugely impressive. Sadly the best looking films look to be III and IV from what I've seen so far.

I know how you feel. Anyway, I'm still gonna buy this when there's a good bargain since this set looks like the one to end all Reeve's Superman set. Thank God I never bought any of them during the time of VHS, LD, and DVD.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – With the Women's New England Championship less than 10 days away, the No. 3 Yale women's sailing team has one final regular season regatta before the points really begin to matter. That last opportunity to work the kinks out is this weekend at the Emily Wick Trophy which will be hosted this weekend by the Coast Guard Academy in New London, Conn. After a dominant victory at last weekend's interconference regatta, the Bulldogs are looking to add to their momentum as they sail into the post-season.
The spring must officially be upon us because weather forecasts are calling for temperatures to break into the low- to mid-60s and for there to be 12-15 knots of wind from the southwest all weekend.
Representing the Bulldogs in A division at the Wick Trophy will be junior skipper Claire Dennis and senior crew Margot Benedict. Last Sunday, during their weekend off from competition, these two upperclassmen drove to New London to practice on the Thames against local sailors from the Coast Guard Academy and Connecticut College. Dennis reported that the practice day was "extremely productive," which bodes well for the team's sense of preparation going into this weekend's racing.
Junior skipper Emily Billing and sophomore crew Amanda Salvesen will be sailing Yale's B division boat at the regatta. A few weeks ago at the Navy Women's Interconference Regatta, this duo won B division by an impressive 26 points. They will be looking to perform similarly this weekend.
Much of the competition that will be present at the New England Championship next weekend will be on the starting line at the Wick Trophy. The New England district is arguably the most competitive district in collegiate sailing and therefore one of the most difficult districts to qualify for the nationals from. The Bulldogs' No. 3 national ranking definitely favors them to qualify at next weekend's event, but a strong finish this weekend is important for the team's momentum.

Bill Pakarek is the head football coach at Lansing High School.
The Lions (2-3) host Bishop Ward (0-5) at 7 p.m. Friday.
1. Do you think this team can beat anyone in Kansas if your defense can get to where you want it?
We are working hard on our defense to improve on many areas of playing better. We can beat a lot of teams if we can continue to improve.
2. What have you been doing this week to improve the defense?
Everything from alignment, to pursuit, to making solid tackles.
3. What has led to the success of the Krystian Abbott to Khalil Bailey connection?
Khalil is a very good receiver. He has height and jumping ability, speed, good hands, and runs good routes.
Krystian has good feet and has made some great throws to Khalil and other receivers like Porter, McQuillan and Johnson.
He has spread the ball around to several players, and Khalil has turned a lot of his catches into touchdowns.
4. Where does the Abbott/Bailey duo rank in QB/WR duos you have coached?
We have had a lot of good athletes here at Lansing. Quarterbacks, wide receivers, tight ends, full backs, running backs and linemen. They all have to do their part and nobody can do it all by themselves. It takes everybody.
5. After last week's game, you said your team didn't have the best week of practice last week.
Have you seen what you want to see out of your players during practice so far this week?
Practice is going better. Focus is better.

Official: More aid for Syrian rebels 'could help'
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama's intelligence chief says more U.S. training and equipment for Syria's moderate rebels could boost the fight against the Assad government.
Director of National Intelligence James Clapper didn't forecast any new U.S. policy in Syria's civil war. But asked about U.S. training and equipment for vetted moderate units, Clapper said greater support could help.
The Obama administration, fearful about growing extremism, has provided limited lethal aid to Syria's opposition.
It has focused most energy on peace talks between Syria's opposition and government. The negotiations have made little progress.
Clapper was testifying Tuesday before the Senate Armed Services Committee.
He said Syria's insurgency totals 75,000 to 115,000 fighters. Some 7,500 are foreigners, including veterans of Afghanistan and Pakistan fighting who harbor aspirations of attacking Europe or the U.S.

Paranormal Freakout: I saw a ghost.
This morning I saw a ghost floating up in the neighbor's back yard. When I looked again, it was really just a painter climbing a ladder. With the face of a human skull!
Holiday greetings
Boring and bizarre
Christmas is best tackled with a sense of humor. Otherwise it's a great occasion for a nervous breakdown or a stroke. I hope everyone will heed William Shatner's holiday advice. This Mennonite has a boring Christmas message (with hypnotic music) about saving the world without spending too much on postage. Here are the Christmas greeting cards you wish you'd received, and the family photos you're happy are not yours.
Rest assured your office Christmas party went better than the Bluth's party. Listen to some Neil Hamburger (w/ Canned Hamm) jokes! Enjoy the full Christmas With the Chipmunks album from 1961, or just forget the whole thing with FEAR.

Happy Birthday, Mr. President!
While mindlessly web surfing, I came upon some ad that suggested I click on it to wish Barack Obama a happy birthday. Due to my general mistrust of web ads, I instead decided to post this as a tribute to the POTUS' 51st.
By the way, seeing as Lindsay Lohan seems to be convinced that she's the second coming of Marilyn Monroe, it's surprising she hasn't performed this yet. Then again, Marilyn had class, whereas LiLo has about the amount of class as Ke$ha at a trailer park kegger.
Wait, what was I talking about? Oh yeah, happy birthday, Mr. President!

Toro Mecanico!
The mind reels at the thought of purchasing a mechanical bull. Judging from a brief web search, mechanical bulls are still extremely popular in Mexico, where they are also manufactured by a variety of companies. Here's the John Travolta link you are looking for.
Mindlessness, continued
Blame it on joblessness, blame it on the country going to shit, but whatever the case, one thing is true: People are getting very bored with themselves. This has resulted in several phenomena. Planking, leisure diving and Tebowing come to mind (to name a few). Now there's something else. I'm late to the game on this one (a coworker already beat me to the punch on this topic), but apparently people are cutting out the center of bread slices and putting it on cats' heads. Fucking for real. This probably violates several animal rights laws. Anyways, here's a breading website. Jesus.

"Not now—I'm drunk on Hanson ..."
As the tweenie boppers of the late '90s began skipping the junior high dances in favor of smoking weed and watching Being John Malkovich, the tow-headed Hanson brothers faded into obscurity ... or so it seemed. The only Hanson ditty anyone remembers is the unforgivable scatty earworm that surely made Cab Calloway roll in his grave.
Unbeknownst to anyone who's had a driver's license for more than a decade, the boys have actually released 11 studio albums and received three Grammy nominations, and will soon be releasing their own beer: MMMhop.
No, really.
Isaac, Taylor and Zac are all married now with little Hanson mouths to feed, and merchandising the heck out of the family name. The brew is set for release in 2012, but will the IPA be any good? Wouldn't it be tastier and less filling to rollerskate down memory lane with a can of of your favorite suds and a gander at similar schlocky nonsense?

The scene is Harvard Square, a few days after the opening of "Amistad," the Steven Spielberg movie about an 1839 slave-ship rebellion and the US court battle that ultimately set the Africans free.
Two young women, one black and one white, pass by the theater where the film is playing - and a conversation is ignited. It was only "so-so," remarks the black woman. She is especially bothered by the fact that Spielberg portrayed white Americans so heroically, "while somehow managing to overlook the fact that slavery was all over America at that time."
The women walk off, engaged in a lively exchange about slavery and American history. This one-on-one encounter with a topic that keeps pressing on the American consciousness may become increasingly common in the months ahead. Where President Clinton's panel on race relations has so far failed to spark a national discussion, popular culture might. Slavery looks set to become something of a cultural topic du jour.
"We could no doubt imagine better ways of creating national conversation, but popular culture is what we've got," says Kwame Anthony Appiah, a Harvard University professor of philosophy and African-American studies. "And we should use what we've got and build from what we've got."
In addition to the film "Amistad," and recent books about the rebellion, Toni Morrison's novel "Beloved," about a freed slave, is being made into a movie for release next year; a film about John Brown, the American abolitionist, is also due out next year; an opera based on the Amistad story has just opened in Chicago, created by George Wolf, director of Broadway's award-winning "Bring in Da Noise, Bring in Da Funk;" and African-American choreographer Ralph Lemon has just debuted a new work called "Geography," with an all-black cast that explores American slavery and African dance and culture.
Although many people have criticized Spielberg for creating a film in which "white people save black people," Professor Appiah applauds the director for approaching his subject with "moral seriousness." And, he says, "Amistad" may help trigger the kind of everyday conversations between black and white people - about their responses to the film and the differences in their responses - that at least mark the beginning of improved communication and understanding between the races.
"Conversations have to happen locally," he says. "You can't literally have a national conversation, because 250 million people can't talk to each other. But it would be easy to share things in informal gatherings."
Many people across the country, in fact, have turned to small-group discussions, dinners, and meetings as a way for blacks and whites to better understand the cultural divide of color. Some groups are organized by community leaders, while others happen much more informally. Conversations are based not so much on political beliefs or on who's to blame for what, but on everyday experiences that help people find a common ground to discuss their different worlds.
Newspaper columnist Richard Louv, a self-described "white liberal" who writes for the San Diego Union Tribune, was surprised by what he discovered when he sat down with other whites and middle-class blacks from his area.
Black and white fears
"I couldn't believe that my upscale, well-educated, successful counterparts, who were black, were followed in department stores by house detectives because they were black," he says. "Or that they were pulled over by cops and frisked just because they were black. It showed me that I didn't know all the answers."
In one conversation, he was struck by the remarks of a black woman who recounted her specific fear that a policeman would hurt her son. "My fear about my sons is a much more general concern that something will happen to them at random," says Mr. Louv.
"I came away thinking that one way to talk about race is not to talk about how we can get along better, but rather about how we perceive the world," he says. "What we fear, is one area. If you really compare experiences between people, go into it as an exercise in how we perceive reality, that can be very interesting, and the end product is that we get along better because we've walked in each other's shoes. What we're talking about is perception, and perception is the reality."
Pop culture too diluted?
Frank Gilliam, a political scientist at the University of California at Los Angeles, is among those who are not convinced that "Amistad" will spark serious dialogue. He says popular culture can be an aid, "but the problem with it is that for something to reach mass audiences, it has to be so watered down it doesn't get to critical questions."
Although some people praise Spielberg's film as a moving account of black misery and heroism, Mr. Gilliam notes that it "is as much about a white man, John Quincy Adams, as it is about slaves. It has all the elements of white salvation - if it weren't for Adams, these poor slaves wouldn't have succeeded. If you're going to make a story about the Middle Passage [of blacks from Africa to slavery in America], then why not just make a story about that?"
Gilliam has been conducting a series of studies to be published in book form next year that explore "perceived reality" and negative racial stereotyping. One study on crime involves showing participants a 12-minute newscast with a segment on violent crime, in which the suspect is sometimes portrayed as black, and sometimes white. The results show that exposure to a black perpetrator leads the audience to ascribe more negative stereotypes to black people - qualities like "lazy," and "unintelligent." Surprisingly, Gilliam says, the study found that the effect is more pronounced among people who call themselves liberals.
Gilliam has taken his work to a variety of forums, including juvenile-justice groups and academic conferences. The study prompts vigorous discussion, he says, because blacks must first accept the statistically true information that blacks proportionally commit more violent crimes than whites do, and liberal whites must accept that they may be part of the problem by being more prone to negative racial stereotypes than they believe.
"Changing culture is so critical, but the problem is that both sides are so encamped in a kind of rhetoric," he says. "Our work raises questions in an almost agnostic way, it's not accusatory ... because once you start an accusatory discourse, there's no hope of ever finding a common talking point."

FOXBORO — The Patriots' defense had one thing on its collective mind as time was ticking away in Sunday's showdown with the Saints at Gillette Stadium. "Get the ball back to Tom Brady as many times as possible," cornerback Kyle Arrington said.
FOXBORO — The Patriots' defense had one thing on its collective mind as time was ticking away in Sunday's showdown with the Saints at Gillette Stadium.
"Get the ball back to Tom Brady as many times as possible," cornerback Kyle Arrington said.
Led by cornerback Aqib Talib, who shadowed and shut down superb Saints tight end Jimmy Graham, New England's defense was passing its most stern test of the season for three-plus quarters. Then, quarterback Drew Brees went to work and led New Orleans on a go-ahead touchdown drive with 3:29 left. New Orleans added a field goal a minute later for a four-point lead and got the ball back with just over two minutes to go after a Brady interception.
"We've got to line back up and get the ball back," safety Devin McCourty said. "We have faith that when we get our offense the ball with time, we'll win the game."
The defense disposed of the Saints on a three-and-out, handed Brady the ball with 1:13 left — plenty of time — and he did his late-game thing, connecting with rookie wide receiver Kenbrell Thompkins for the winning touchdown with five seconds left.
"It's just special to have 12 on your team," Arrington said after the 30-27 win. "To witness that, it's just incredible. I was jumping for joy on the sideline."
The loss was the first for the Saints, who came into the game with one of the league's most potent offenses, but weren't demonstrating it early on.
Talib, whose assignments so far this season have included matching up against the Bucs' Vincent Jackson and Atlanta's Julio Jones, drew Graham, the NFL leader in receiving yardage who had gone over 100 yards in four straight games.
Brees targeted the 6-foot-7, 265-pound Graham six times. He finished without a catch.
"Aqib is a long, rangy guy himself," Arrington said, "so he can not only cover receivers, but tight ends as well, especially the athletic tight ends."
Saints coach Sean Payton thought the disruption with Graham started at the line of scrimmage.
"One thing they do a good job with is they disrupt you at the line of scrimmage better than anyone," Payton said. "They do a really good job of getting hands on receivers and tight ends. They are very well-coached. They are disciplined, and they did a good job of that."
Talib left the game in the third quarter with a hip injury and Graham later came out with an ankle injury.
The Patriots moved McCourty around and turned to rookies Logan Ryan and Duron Harmon when they went with some six defensive back packages late in the game.
"We just had to adjust," McCourty said. "Guys came in and stepped up."
After defensive end Chandler Jones had his first of two fourth-quarter sacks, Arrington intercepted a Brees pass intended for Graham. It marked the 33rd straight game the Patriots have come up with a turnover, the longest active streak in the NFL.
"I was trying to be as tight as I could on Graham," Arrington said. "Brees overthrew it a little bit. As big as Graham is, I just hoped he wasn't that big."
Arrington broke up a pass for Graham that Brees tried to force into triple coverage in the third quarter.
The Patriots held the Saints to 155 yards, seven points and six first downs in the first half.
"There were far too many three-and-outs," Brees said. "When you can't even get that first down, it's hard to get things going."
On the opening drive of the second half, Brees had consecutive completions to receiver Kenny Stills, running back Darren Sproles and tight end Benjamin Watson that led to a Garrett Hartley 28-yard field goal.
The Saints got their running game going a little bit later in the quarter and Khiry Robinson scored from 3 yards out to tie the score at 17-17. With Vince Wilfork and Tommy Kelly missing from the middle of the defense, the Saints managed 131 yards on the ground and Sproles had a team-high six catches.
After the Patriots took a 23-17 lead on a Stephen Gostkowski field goal midway through the fourth, Brees, on third-and-20, hit Stills with the 34-yard go-ahead TD pass.
"I just tried to use my eyes to manipulate the safety (Steve Gregory) a little bit to get as close to a one-on-one matchup out there as possible," Brees said. "I knew he would be getting over there late, but Kenny did a great job of getting by his guy (Alfonzo Dennard) and going up and making a play in the end zone."
Brees finished 17 for 36 for 236 yards.
"Obviously it wasn't a perfect game for us defensively," Arrington said, "but I'm proud of our guys. We fought all the way to the end."

White Sox lefty Quintana shuts down Red SoxBy BRIAN HEDGER
The Sports Xchange
May 21. 2013 11:40PM
CHICAGO — Jose Quintana needed some help to finish it off, but his impressive outing for the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night didn't go to waste.
Quintana picked up his third win of the season by taking a bid for a no-hitter one out into the seventh inning at U.S. Cellular Field before turning it over to the bullpen in Chicago's 3-1 win against the Boston Red Sox (27-19).
After Quintana left in the seventh to a standing ovation, there were some anxious moments for him to sweat out as a spectator. The first was the situation he left for reliever Jesse Crain, who came into the game with a 15 2/3 scoreless innings streak.
Quintana departed with a slim 2-0 lead, just one out and the bases loaded — so Crain had a tall order. Despite running the count full on Will Middlebrooks, Crain struck him out and followed it up by fanning Stephen Drew to end the threat.
A great play by first baseman Paul Konerko was the key to getting out of another sticky situation in the eighth — when the Red Sox cut the lead to 2-1 on a walk, single and fielding error. David Ortiz hit a sharp grounder to Konerko, who started an inning-ending double play by quickly throwing to Alexei Ramirez at second for the relay throw to first for yet another great escape by the White Sox (21-23) — who won their first series at home since April 5-7.
Chicago added an insurance run in the eighth to again make it a two-run lead and closer Addison Reed finished it off in the ninth — in a driving rain storm — for his 16th save. Quintana (3-1) didn't allow a run in his 6 1/3 innings and struck out five, while Crain extended his scoreless innings streak to 16 1/3 innings spread over 18 games.
Alex Rios led the way for the White Sox offensively, going 2-for-4 with an RBI double, extending his hitting streak to a career-high 16 games. Felix Doubront started and took the loss for the Red Sox (27-19), going six innings and allowing two runs.
Quintana allowed just two batters to reach base through the first six innings, a second-inning walk to Daniel Nava and a sixth-inning walk to Jacoby Ellsbury.
Doubront was nearly as sharp through the first four frames, but he ran into trouble in the fifth, starting with a two-out single by Dayan Viciedo. Jeff Keppinger followed with a home run to left to give Quintana a 2-0 lead.
Notes: LHP Chris Sale was scratched from a scheduled start today against Boston because of what the White Sox are calling mild tendinitis in the posterior of his left shoulder. Sale is expected to make his next start May 30 against the Cubs at U.S. Cellular Field. ... LHP John Danks (offseason shoulder surgery) is back in Chicago after a minor league rehab stint and could be close to returning to the White Sox's rotation. A decision is expected as soon as after Wednesday's game. ... OF Shane Victorino did not start for the Red Sox and is undergoing treatment for a hamstring flare-up that caused him to leave Monday night's game early. Victorino will stay on the active roster for at least a week to see how it heals, but Boston manager John Farrell said a disabled-list stint is still possible. ... Red Sox C David Ross (concussion) intensified his pregame workout routine prior to Tuesday's game. He hit off a tee, ran sprints and did some side-to-side agility work while experiencing no concussion-related issues.

My late brother's Nintendo system. My second brother and cousin messed it up so badly it doesn't play anymore, but we still hold onto to it since there's not many Nintendo systems anymore and it belonged to my bro.
Some people are hoarders. I like cardboard boxes for storage purposes.
jo momma
I have this origami swan that is old and not in the greatest condition anymore and i cannot throw it away. It still looks decent. It means so much to me that i cannot possiably throw it away. I got it from this AWESOME girl i met. I had sooo much fun hanging out with her for that 1 year but it was the best year i ever had because of her. Now everytime i look at it i remember her and all the fun times we shared.
I <3 you ALL so much :D
An old friend of mine drew a smiley face on this red sticky note and stuck it on my closet door five years ago.
To this day, it remains untouched.
I've got a bottle of ChocoVine wine that my #2 best friend gave me when I moved into my current place with my housemate. That was several years ago and there's still barely a quarter of it drank. You can be forgiven for having never had ChocoVine because it's not exactly common or well known. There's a reason for that. It's an $8 bottle of wine that tastes like cough syrup and leaves an awful aftertaste.
Despite the fact that it's terrible i've kept it because it feels like it'd be wrong to throw away a gift and if nothing else it's an interesting conversation piece.
If I had a type it'd be you, fortunately I don't have a type so please stop.
Mine is a part of a keychain my grandmother gave me 17 years ago. it's old and scratched but I cherish very highly
If you're a Sword Art Online fan, or enjoy gaming feel free to add me
I have an old trapper and binder from school that I won't throw away. A school friend of mine wrote a tribute to her dead best friend on them so it seems wrong to throw them out. Even though I'm not friends with her anymore.
My grandpa. I just love him too much.
pokemon cards
^ LOL. Good one, Thrashbar!
Used to save all the friend and love letters from relationships past. Now that I'm happily married I converted these post reminders from paper form to a gaseous state (conversion of mass). The memories that mattered are still stored in my head; the remainder are gone forever to protect the innocent.
Basement is full of stuff. 95% is mine. When we moved here United Van Lines weighed the mass at approximately 28K lbs. With the exception of the 2 vehicles not hauled we only need 5 K lbs of household items. My wife worries I'll die first. Silly woman doesn't realize she'll have the largest and best 1/64 scale diecast semi-truck collection in the county as well as enough stripped PCC streetcar parts (roll sign holders, destination signs dating back to the early '40's, farebox, trolley bells, headlights, MG set, brass trolley wheels, carbon shoes, builders plates), switch keys, turn of the century railroad franks (aka passes), books, 300 Logan boxes of 35mm original color slides of trains and streetcars, bus memorabilia to franchise a transit museum.
Oh, yeah, don't forget all this anime and the respective figurines. We have no heirs to hand it down to and 12/21/2012 sure didn't resolve anything. Sheeeeeesh, the task of redistributing those years of accumulating before I get senile is daunting. I'm celebrating year 7 and counting downsizing.
This spring I plan to paint on the roof in large white letters the word "HERE" so tornadoes know where to strike next. Ebay just isn't up to the task.
MYTH: the universal language. Always question AUTHORITY.
myself, i am old and worn out
old roleplaying game books and game books
My chuck norris shirt that says '' the boogey man checks his closet for chuck norris'' and it has a picture of norris looking through a crack in a door.
My hulk jean shorts. Ive worked fences with them for so long that theres rips and holse all through them.
My boxing bag. Theres holes and cracks in the leather all through it. That and it gets frozen in the winter and really hard so theres blood all over it.
high leg boots that lace up. the inside is falling out, theres a loose peice of plastic that cuts my heel, the steel in the toe is falling off, theres holes in the bottom from walking on boards with nails. theres paint, calk, glue, stucko, stain and animal blood all over them.
Im back. How was studyville you ask? Judging by that question, you should visit.
Aside from 3 stuffed animals, I don't really have anything that I couldn't part with. I'm really not much of a hoarder.
Edit: Oh, and a few books from my childhood. The Hobbit, the first few Harry Potter books that I originally received as gifts, Cardcaptor Sakura (my first manga)... hmm, a few more.
I keep 1 uniform to each school I've attended, school event's printed T-shirt and this CR account.
Because I'm her servant that's why I am reading this.
