Magic number is 12!
Here's the message I just sent around to the front office…
If and when we turn this series around, we would be the 12th team to erase a 3-1 deficit and come back to win the series. That's hardly considered rare in the game of baseball. In fact, it happened as recently as two years ago and the Red Sox have actually done it twice in the last five seasons!
We beat the Phillies four times in a five-game stretch earlier this year and just this season alone, we have had 15 winning streaks of three or more games. Fifteen!
Joe Torre, Manny Ramirez, Casey Blake, and Doug Mientkiewicz have all been a part of series where the team that was up 3-1 didn't win the series. No one here in Philly has given up and neither can anyone back in Los Angeles. A win tonight brings the series home to Dodger Stadium where anything can happen.
"Manny is a guy who has been through everything and so has Doug," Pedro Martinez said yesterday. "They can be really inspirational to those guys and I wouldn't be surprised if they do something to call it to their attention and turn them around. I hope they don't, to be honest."
See – even the Phillies realize this thing isn't over, so keep up the positive vibes and don't let down the preparations for Game 6! It'll be here before we know it!
Enjoy tonight and keep those spirits high! I'm hoping to see you all at the stadium on Friday.

I agree Josh. Go Dodgers!
We love our Dodgers 7/24, 365! Through thick and thin and everything in between. We believe in this team!
We have seen this year's edition of the Dodgers come back from adversity time and time again. Just win this one game today. No pressure whatsoever.
Just wanted to stop by and say:
Go Mattingly
Go Joe
Go Manny
Go JP
Go Ned… what? Oh crap. Well… anyway
Go Jamie
Go Frank
Okay, who is impersonating Enchanted?
Please tell me you really meant "Go Away", enchanted.
LOL, Bear!
As Blondie said:
"Don't go be bad
Cause you been had
Don't go be sad
Don't go away mad
Just go away (go away)"
Like Blondie said,

Sorry for the double post. Got impatient with this blog. Don't know why. Maybe because it takes 23 minutes to post my comment. Time Stamp: 2:53 pm
Good afternoon everyone! Unfortunately I won't be home for tonight's game, but my thoughts will be with you all and with our beloved Dodgers! Go Blue!!
Nice column…gives us all hope for the future…if not the present!!!!!!!!!!
Bear, you know me too well 🙂
Thanks for all your nice comments about my posts yesterday. Nelly, you have not heard from me because I was out of town for the first round and beginning of the second round of the playoffs. The good news is I was able to watch an exciting first round game on TV clear across the country with my grown son and daughter, something we all realized we had not done together for a long time. Why bring this up? Because Kahli hit it on the head when he talked in the previous thread about how he feels when baseball season ends. I feel the same way; it means no more games to watch just about every day and no more Vinny, whose voice just makes me feel good no matter what.
However, as much as I like watching the Dodgers (and I will listen to or watch even the last game of the season no matter the standings just to get every little bit), I do think the season is too long. I like the playoff format as there can be no doubt it adds to the excitement and interest most often to the last day of the season. The problem is playing World Series games into November and all the bad weather issues leading up to the Series. I know the owners will never shorten the season by giving up games but maybe the season needs to start a little earlier. Of course, we have just as many bad weather issues with early games so maybe there is no workable solution.
Hi gang,
LET'S GO DODGERS!!!!! I'm trying to be positive and have some hope. I'm watching the game with oldbrooklynfan tonight. We're going to a restaurant. I'm bringing my rally towels that I got at Dodger Stadium from the St. Louis series. Maybe that will bring us some luck.
How about less days off. Joe is always giving players days off on game days anyway.
Or…remember when teams played scheduled double headers?
This line-up is almost the same as our 3 hit, 11-0 losing line up, flip blake and martin, I guess JT is really going for the ultimate challenge/ revenge factor in this game. Fortunately it is not Lee on the mound. All that coming up, then Just Win baby! Go Dodgers!
Whatever the outcome in the game, will somebody turn off the hot water in the showers until the game is over.
Lineup from Dodger Thoughts:
Furcal, SS
Belliard, 2B
Ethier, RF
Manny, LF
Kemp, CF
Loney, 1B
Martin, C
Blake, 3B
Padilla, P
lbirken: I would rather start the season early than end it late. Play some games in March if need be. If the game is postponed, it can always be rescheduled later in the summer (remember when that would result in a two for one doubleheader? Now they charge twice). Much better than playing the NLDS, NLCS, and World Series in the snow.
Tough? Yeah. Impossible? No. Just get this thing back to LA.
Let's go out and get the win tonight and bring the game back to LA. You guys can do this. Remeber to BELIEVE IN BLUE.
Thanks for the lineup, Crash.
Thanks for the reminder, NSB.
Let's go get this one game. You can do it, Dodger Blue.
What about playing day night doubleheaders? That can cut days of the schedule and it won't reduce the owners all important revenue.
Not sure I like Andre in there, tonight, vs. Hamels. I'd like to see Pierre in there, leading off since Furcal has pretty much checked out of this series at the plate. Also, Kemp is one of the few Dodgers that can hit Hamels well. Seriously, in the 5 spot? Should be up in the 2 or 3 ahead of Manny.
BUT, alas, I'm not Joe.
LET'S GO DODGERS! and let's get this series back to LA!
should be – off
Holy crap anyone watching the Tyra Show? They showing this girl that should be 16 yrs old but she don't age and she like a 2 yrs old child in one of that swinging mo jig.
I'll be at work during most of the game… hope I get to hear us in a good spot on the way home. In the meantime, I'll repost this in case times get a little rough:
Just a friendly reminder:
Please Don't Feed the Trolls.
and remember:
Thank you.
By northstateblues on October 21, 2009 10:27 AM
I promist to NEVER feed a troll, North, tempted as I may be to do so!
Northstateblues great comment about feeding the Trolls. We will keep a blue light shining for you while you work and hope to give out some good reports for your drive home. GO DODGERS
Funny, thinking about double headers. They were introduced as a way to attract fans to games. What a deal, two games for the price of one. Remember double features (and a cartoon or two) at the old neighborhood movie theater? The owners figured out they really don't need double headers to attract fans and perhaps the player's union doesn't want them.
Batter up… bring this back to LA
No excuses now. Just hold the lead.
Let's score some runs in the first inning.
Always Bet On Blue!
Come on Dodgers. Lets do this guys. Bring this game back to LA.

Nice start I want 10 runsssssssssssss
Urgh walks
Both of Werth hits was homerun such a bandbox
Were not done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bandbox or not, this is another example of why the Dodgers are down 3 games to 1. The Phillies get one hit and score three runs. The Dodgers get two hits and one run. The Phillies get extra base hits with runners on base. The Dodgers have not been able to do this but then again, they had this problem all season long.
Thanks Loney come on dodgers
Too bad the Philly was batting around .233 with risp in 2 outs in the regular season.
Damn Martin should had took that 3-1 pitch
Look at thatr Hamels is throwing strike or getting the called please Padilla come on we need this game please no more walk.
Hamels 41 pitches 2 innings. I love this start for Hamels and hopefully they can knock him out in the 3rd to 4th innings.
What is this, home run derby?
Feliz 1 for 13 unbelieveable.
lbirken ~ it sure looks like it….just hope we hit more homeruns than they do!
Feliz hitting a dinger reminds us all that even a blind Squirrel can find a nut from time to time.
Padilla needs to throw less fastballs. He's leaving the pitches up, and they're jumping on them. Warning track flies at Dodger stadium for sure, but out of the yard in Philly. 😦
Why couldn't Padilla do that to Utley in the 1st inning?
The "phone booth" sure has been busy early tonight. Maybe Padilla has settled down. Win or lose, this is still the best toy store there is, as nelly so aptly put it. GO BLUE!!!!
I want to see a real Dodgers WS win. Hard to enjoy the last one when you was only 10 years old thanks god for the Lakers/Sparks/Galaxy.
We need to get some base runners in the upcoming innings. Solo shots are going to get it done against the Phillies. Go Dodgers!
Way to go O-Dog!!! It's rally time gang!!!!!
What was Ross Perot saying about that "giant sucking sound?" I think what we are hearing is the life going out of the 2009 Dodgers season. We are going to need some very big lungs to blow some life back in the next 4 innings.
Lets go Dodgers.
I'll Huff and Puff and Blow Your House Down
LET'S GO DODGERS LEt'S GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi, Jhall….how's it going, sir?
Hi'Ya Trumom!! Very well, all things considered!! LOL!!! How about you my friend!!!!?
I'm a nervous wreck right now! If we don't pull this game out, it will be the first time in my life I'll be pulling for the American League team to win.
I can't stand the Phillies or the Yankees, trublu, so the Dodgers had better pull this out.
Bluecrewgirl ~ I'm with you!!! lol
Rats!!! Me too Trumom!!! Well, we're still in it. Can't give up any more runs!!! I'm a devout NL person. I have to go with the NL team in the Series!!!
The only way I'd root for the AL this year is if the Angels get in. I'd never ever root for the Yanks. In a Philly-NY series, I'm neutral.
The Dodger pitching has really gone south in the last few games and put a lot of pressure on the offense.
I don't have a problem with the Phillies!! I'm not going to let one disturbed fan sway me!!! They are actually a fun team to watch and play really good baseball. Plus, I really detest the Yankees. If the Angels get in with Scioscia, I will be torn.
Glad is not the Yankees and Giants/
To have any hope of getting back in this thing,we need some quick shut down innings. Their bullpen is, definitely, beatable.
Let's Go Dodgers. We need this win guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
O-Dog is a far superior fielder to Belliard. I still don't get why O-Dog hasn't gotten any starts recently. Belliard was swinging a hot bat, but he's slowed down and O-Dog was an important part of the Dodger's success all season.
BonJour BleuFille' mon amie!!! Our offense kind of went south with them!!! Ferk and Blake going ice cold in this series really hurt. Overall though, our vaunted regular season bullpen, has dropped the ball, IMO!!!!
Good Evening ITD readers and writers!!!!! I am 99% of the time for the National League, but for the World Series, any team to beat the Yankees.
The only good part of a Phillies-Yankees Series would be that I could watch the game, enjoy it for the beauty that is baseball, and not care who wins or loses.
Really good starting pitching will almost always beat good hitting!!! And everyone knew the Phillies starting pitching was better than ours. Kemp really hasn't done much this series either.
That would be a very painful series for me to watch, seesky. I would need to swig heavily from the flask to get through it, lol.
Hi'Ya Nelly and Sky!! I'm with both of you!!! I can never root for the Yankees or Giants!!!
Rats!!! That was most likely the nail in the coffin!!!
This is so depressing. I had such high hopes for them. It will take a miracle now, which could still happen. The Dodgers gave up a bigger lead in a game during the regular season in the 80's.
Pass the flask Bleu!!!
I know what you mean, jhall. When I started following baseball as a very young seesky, the Yankees were perennial winners and that was reason enough to hate them. That sticks way down. And the Gnats, well, are the Gnats.
It's nearly impossible to win a series when you're outplayed at every single position on the field, and that's been our case against the Phillies. Didn't help that our pitching didn't show up either.
But, we did extend Ned's contract, and the BIG Frankie and Jamie Show will be something to behold, I'm sure.
Jhall – I am with you on the Phillies players. I can't blame them for the behavior of some of their phans. I actually like many of their players. And to give some of their phans credit, there have been some on here that have been very respectful and I have enjoyed reading what they have to say. I just wish others would take note and just be kind or don't say anything at all.
Yep Bear, should be interesting!! LOL!!!
I'll make it triple strength, jhall, lol. They have the guts of a great team with Andre, Matt and Loney, but they have some glaring weaknesses too, starting pitching being one of them, except for Kershaw. I think he will be a great one.
The bar is completely open. Multiple shots for everyone!!!
I am proud of them too, but hope that the divorce doesn't get in the way of signing a top starting pitcher in the off season. Andre and Matt are only going to get better and I think Loney's power #s will increase. As much as I love Raffy, this year has seemed like extended rehab for him, except for the NLDS where he showed how awesome he is when he's on his game. Your leadoff hitter needs to get on base more than he has most of the season. I hope he can come back strong next year.
Yep Nelly, I agree!!!
messagebear – the off season will be a very, very hot stove, don't ya think?
lbirken – I read your post from earlier this afternoon. That is great you got to spend time with your family watching baseball.
Merci Bleu and Sky!!!
Does Loney have another NLCS grand slam in him? Let's hope so!!!!
These guys need to play all 27 outs, keep on fighting Boy's!!!
Turn this around……………..
We all knew coming in that their starting pitching was better than ours and that we had the edge in the bullpen. Our supposed edge/bullpen has really stunk!!!
tdon where your Giant at loser?
I don't like any of the Phillies! I don't like any of the Yankees! So, I will have to find something else to do during the World Series!
Seesky – I felt that this season when I went to an Angels/Giants game at AT&T Park. I was able to watch the game just to watch a game. The Giants weren't a threat to the Dodgers, and the Angels aren't in our division so it was fun just to watch and enjoy the ballpark and the game. It's a fun ballpark to go to because of its location, but it's just too bad it belongs to the Giants.
BTW – Thanks for the drinks :))
Yes, you do Seesky!!!!
I am very proud of our Dynamic Duo for really coming into their own this season, and we all know they are still not done yet putting up fantastic numbers. I am glad Torre got to see what we have been seeing all along with Andre and Matt, but Andre especially.
Aw, c'mon Trumom!! You know you'll be here watching and blogging with us!! LOL!!! Why deprive yourself!!! LMAO!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Dodgers Suck! It was worth them beating the Cards just so this beating would demoralize their overachieving butts even more! Hope their plane ride home is LONG! WHOOO HOOOOO!
Maybe during the offseason, they can figure out how to make this blog work correctly 🙂
Our starting pitching has been, pretty much, a jerry rigging all season long. We're going to need to make a significant overhaul in that area, as well as others, before next season if we want to get to the next level. Clearly, maybe even more so than in last year's NLCS, the Phillies have outplayed us and they deserve to move on.
Jhall ~ I will be the only one pulling for the Yankees! LOL!
Boy, it's going to be a looong trip home for our Dodgers!!!!
Great, just what we need, another Troll!
I'll just go on record now and say, I'm proud of our team. We've got some growing to do. Thanks for a successful and exciting season. I've enjoyed it very much and look forward to seeing you develope into World Champs!!! Our day is coming!!! The Phillies are just a couple of years ahead!!!
I'm proud of our team too, Jhall.
Tdonovanj, hmm, sounds like some foreigner that still wipes his butt with his fingers!!!! Geez!!!
Troll here. A very very happy TROLL! How does it feel now Dodgers fans? Not so arrogant now, are ya? HEHEHHEEHEHHEHEHE
Hey, if you are going to rip on the troll here, at least be relevant, ok? How the hell do I sound like a foreigner? And the whole butt wiping comment? Weak, just like your Dodgers!
Wipes with the left and jerks off with the right!!! Poor, pathetic soul!!!
It always comes down to pitching and ours is stinking up the joint. Maybe Ned will believe Torre this off season and get us a #1.
Been a nice ride, though I'm less than thrilled with the finish. Embarrassing, really.
You're all welcome for the open bar. I guess I get to be Post Mortem Coordinator, too.
Somehow, this does not hurt as much as game 4…
Are you talking about me or Russel? Whiffed with bases loaded, oh my. Choke choke.
Tdon go back to Mexico you freaking immigrant you just a lost soul and you just mad your Giant blow.
Oh shut up tdonvanj I really wish you was here so I can kick your **** you loser so go cry to your Giants 1954 remember that year loser? You must had forgot about the 2002 WS game 6.
Sorry if I was insensitive, I just assumed you were right handed. My Bad!!!
Now Wally!!!! You need to behave or your father will have your hide when he gets home. Where is that brother of yours anyway? Oh yes, drinking his tequila ladened Koolaid I am sure. Then again, maybe he and your father are on the roof together. LOL!!!!
The troll must be a McNabb Phan. Now there's a choke artist if there ever was one. The biggest bridesmaid QB in the NFL, AND DEFINATELY THE MOST OVERRATED!!!
How does it feel to loose to Raider Nation fool?
Can't win the big one……….HACK!! HACK!!!
LMTO Nelly!!! It's all good girl friend!!!!
I don't understand why these trolls aren't on their own blog spreading their joy.
I think the difference between our bloggers and others is class…..we would never go on someone else's blog and berate their team or players.
If the Phillies win, and it appears they will…good luck to them!
We will still be Dodger fans, win or lose!
Actually I am 100% Irish. And what is wrong with being an immigrant? Our country was founded by them. And hey, half your beloved Dodgers are immigrants. Racism has no place here or anywhere for that matter. It just shows your ignorance. And regarding the Giants….I bet you wish you had their pitching right about now, huh?
Lot's of issues Trumom, lot's of issues that go way beyond their teams winning!!! Nice VL, good call my friend!!!!
Well guys, you got a good young team that has a chance to get back there again. You just happen to be playing in the time of a team built for a long run. The Dodgers remind me of the Phillies in the '70's when they couldn't get past the Reds and Dodgers. Good team; not good enough. But they eventually got their's in '80.
Hang in there and hope they keep the young nucleus. Cya next year and GO PHILLIES!!!
Maybe because their MLB blog has little to no activity on it, trublu.
No more Manny
LOL, Bluecrewgirl!
That's must be a Mets fan.
You got a good team. Your day will surely come, as long as you keep the nucleus together. Can't say that's easy these days, but good luck.
Agreed, tru. Couldn't have said it better myself. But….. WHO'S GOING TO FIX THIS DAMN BLOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go Lakerssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Well duh, my team is no longer in the race. Its much more fun to be here as the Dodgers choke two games in a row! Why would I want to be in a blog with no one to tease? One out to go, and the it really will be Dodger Blues!
You wouldn't have anyone to talk to, nevermind tease with a ******** 2 posts on the most recent entry.
Oh well.
The Dodgers still have a helluva lot more pennants, and world championships than the all time loosingest franchise in professioanl sports.
Last shot of the baseball season is bitter sweet……….
Thank God for Bushmills Single Malt. At least my head won't hurt tomorrow.
GREAT SEASON DODGERS!!!!! I know it ended earlier than you anticipated, but it was another fabulous year. Thanks for another rollercoaster ride. It was an awesome one. Wow!!!
I have no idea why I got censored, lol. The word I used wasn't remotely a swear word.
Jhall I am immensely proud of these guy's and the season they gave us……..Unfortunately I can not say the same about the ownership……Yes bringing Joe Pierre out was a fabulous gesture of good will, and deeply appreciated. That doesn't get them a free ride however. I was starting to warm up to them as caretakers of this franchise because of that and some very well thought of charity work. Through my short time span of acknowledging their existence with this club, they have said and did some things that come off as phony or just plain ignorant to the sensitivity of our patrons. The events that have unfolded and were released this past week are just one small example of this. They have asked the public to respect their privacy however. I can except in the matters of my beloved Dodgers. What will they bring to the future of my beloved blue??? I am skeptical to say the least that higher prices are a definite course of action in the future? I have my doubts that payroll will be increased, this is partially brought on by the fools gold that was ( whatever it takes to win a championship.) Yes…. I blame Frank and Jamie, Ned I think did as good of a job as he was allowed to do ( that might be a blessing in disguise, as the youngsters are still intact and gaining valuable experience? ) I wish and hope for the best possible outcome in this situation, but do not have the strength of faith in this…. as I do the ballclub itself. There will be a lot of hot toddy's brewing on the hot stove around these parts though……
I take my hat off to the PLAYERS of the Phillies, and their organization, they flat out played baseball!!! I wish them much success, as I am a National League guy, just the way I have been all my life. Even when The Big Red Machine was breaking my heart. I am a creature of habit, that is what I am.
To Our Beloved Boy's In Blue…………..Thank you for all the hard work and dedication you have provided us with, it has been a pleasure, I would like to give props to a few who were inspiration to me through out the year, Ethier you were outstanding in all aspects of the game and in life as well……Meintkiewicz the way you battle your way back into the season was admirable to say the least…..Juan Pierre what can I say you made me proud as well, you came the farthest in my opinion, you picked these guys up when they needed a lift, and helped them to move forward. I could go on and on with this club there were so many special moments. You all should hold your head high, and enjoy your off season. I will see you next year and then we will….
Werth just removed ALL doubt………..He's about as bright as a small appliance bulb, & dumber than a box of rocks!
Congratulations Phillies. Kick the Yankees butt.
Well, ITD folks, it has be a fun year. The Dodgers did as well as could be expected given their lack of a true ace pitcher.
Hopefully, our core players will continue to progress. We need more ability to hit three run homers at any given time.
Coletti has his work cut out for him this winter.
only 164 days until April 5th… opening day
only 164 days until opening day
Congratulations Phillies team, city, and fans!!! I'll be rooting for you in the World Series!!! Dodgers, hold your heads high, you have nothing to be ashamed of. The better team won, flat out!! We've got some growing to do. This is a learning experience!!! You've seen what it takes to be World Champs and I am sure you will learn and grow from it!!! Our day will come!!!
Outstanding post VL!!!!!
Thanks Phan52!!! Congratulations!! I'll be rooting for you in the Series!!!
It's been a great year and I've enjoyed spending it with all of the ITD faithful. Many thanks to one and all. Now we can look forward to the Hot Stove League and, hopefully, a better 2010!!!! Good night, all!!!!
Goodnight Sky!! We'll be here all winter.
Goodnight Seesky!
Bits and Pieces.
The very worst thing about tonight? Vinny no longer hangs around on the radio to put the season in perspective. The final day of the season was always such a treat with Vin's analysis. Those were the days…he and Doggett summing it all up. Interesting that what we all screamed in spring training came to horrible fruition. And it has a name: WeaverVargasMiltonEstesStultsHaegerSchmidtPadillaGarlandMcDonaldBillingsleyWolfKershaw
Did I forget anyone?
Bobby Valentine, on the post-game gabfest, feels Manny is injured, that he has no rotation on his core frame. Hope that's the case. In any event, he'll need to re-learn his swing and body, sans steroids.
Ethier and Loney and Kemp.
Martin, I like your grit, but my oh my, how you have fallen.
Casey Blake looks old…give DeWitt, another gritty player, a real shot next spring.
It has been a great year, and like we all say, the off-season should make for much ITD fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wally – Have you been drinking the Koolaid – LOL!!! (jk) For what it is worth…………………yes, I will be cheering on the Phillies myself.
Good Night seesky!!! Thanks for the rounds. It made the hurt much more bearable 🙂
only 164 days? LOL!!!! Thanks for the update 🙂
Declined Manny and get Sheets, Hudson and some other bullpen help.
Although we are all disappointed, this really has been a great year – all the ups, downs, ins and outs. (My manicurist will be very proud of me for not biting my nails for a few months, I'm sure 🙂 ) For me, I think one of the highlights of this season was the opportunity to meet several of my ITD blogmates at our ITD tour in June.
The Phillies were one tough team and they earned the right to represent the NL in the World Series. Much luck to them.
After all is said and done, we are still Dodger fans, love our team, and look forward to good things next year. Sounds like the old Brooklyn days, doesn't it? Wait till next year!
We still have a good core, no doubt about it. Our Dynamic Duo has come of age! They've shown themselves to be just as good as we thought they'd be, and will only get better with experience. Kershaw is gonna be an awesome stud – no doubt about it. Loney just keeps on driving in those runs and has been outstanding at first base. If we can get a true ace and if those who had bad/marginal years can bounce back, there will be no stopping us! We'll be good not only on paper but on the field, too.
Sparkleplenty – The ITD tour was a definite highlight, and we just need to make sure it happens again, with some good lead time so we can get more out there, especially our out-of-staters.
LOL Nelly!! Yep, Dodger Blue Kool-Aid is still the sweetest drink around for me. Been drinking it since 1965!! I will always wear the Dodgers colors loud and proud.
Hopefully, they'll fix the blog in the off season. I just typed a long post and got submission errored. Congratulations to the entire Dodger team. It's been a great run and it's heartbreaking to see it end. I already can't wait until next season to see what our Dynamic Duo will do next year. I hope Ned is smart enough to lock them both in. Kershaw and Brox will only get better and hopefully Bills will rebound. Wolf is pretty solid, but they do need to add a top starter. I really hope that we don't lose Mattingly. I think he will be a good manager when Torre retires. It seems like the young guys like him and I think his advice to Andre to be more patient against lefties is helping him to hit them like he always did in the past. It has been great hanging out with you all this season. I look forward another great one next year.
Jhall – It has been a great season………certainly nothing to be ashamed of, and we had phenomenal years from our Dynamic Duo, Andre and Matt, which we all know it's not the end of their growing and development.
Excellent posts Dodgers4 and Sparky!!!!
I'm with you on that, Nelly. An annual affair would be truly awesome! We can do a tailgate picnic and a game and plan it well in advance. What fun!
Nelly, they just interviewed Andre on the Dodgers Live Postgame Show. He seemed very disappointed, but classy as always. Matt is supposed to be interviewed next. I think all our young guys are a credit to the team in the way they carry themselves.
Guess I forgot Kuroda, huh??!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Yep Bleu, they need to upgrade their server and fix the blog. I'm having the same problem. Great post!!! I agree Nelly!! I guess we have all winter to break it down. Our seasons over, but hopefully, our blogging isn't!!! Interacting with you all really makes the journey more fun!!! Lot's to sort out and rehash thru the winter.
bluecrewgirl – Thanks for the info. Andre had an incredible year. I know this will hurt for a while for him, but he is one of the major reasons they got to this point in the first place. I remember back when he was going through that "so-called" big slump back in June, and we said when he comes out of it, it would just make him stronger. Well, it certainly did. I am so glad Joe got to see the Andre we knew he would be if he just had the chance to play everyday. What a season he and Matt had, and they are only going to get stronger, faster and smarter at playing this game.
Agreed, Nelly. I bet they'll have his interview snipet on Foxsports.com later, so you might want to check it out. It will be exciting to watch them both develop. You, I, tru and all the Andre fans have always known what a great player he would be, but it's nice to see him getting recognition at last. He had a great postseason overall. Even though he didn't get as many hits in the NLCS as he did in the NLDS, he had a lot of good at bats in the NLCS and he looked much more confident against lefties. I think the worst of that rough patch against them is over. It seems like Ron Darling likes Andre's game. He had a lot of nice things to say about him.
I was just reminiscing to myself about when the Dodgers were swept in the 66 WS by Baltimore. I just had to share the experience with you all.
My mom, brother and I went out to LAX to meet the Dodgers' plane and let the team know we still supported them, even though they landed during the wee small hours of the morning. I guess the highlight of the night was chatting with Sandy Koufax. My mom asked him what happened. He replied with, "Do you know the difference between a keppie (head) and a tuchas (rear end)?" We all nodded yes. He then said that the Dodgers used their tuchases to play, not their keppies! Ahhhh, the memories. . . . .
Well gang, its been fun!!! Not only our team, but interacting with you all!! Lot's to talk about over the winter and I hope to keep it going into the Spring. I'll start it off. Not really crazy about resigning Ned, I would have gone with Ng!!! I think she is proactive, not reactive!!! You're all great!! Excelsior True Believers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good night jhall!
That is too cool Sparky!!!!
No more burning our bullpen out again I knew it was going to backfire but are starting pitching didn't help me either. Thanks Broxton 2 years in a rows we should've been tied 2-2 and lost the momentum.
Goodnight, jhall! Great story sparkleplenty!
Tim Wallace for manager.
Great Story Sparkleplenty!!
bluecrewgirl – thanks again for the info on the video, and yes, Darling did have some good things to say about Andre.
Jhall – It has been another wonderful year being on here with you, and yes, there will be lots to talk about, both in and around the Dodgers this off season. Take Care my friend, and we will talk to you soon :))
Good night all. Time to settle in for the evening. It's been great chatting with you. God bless us everyone!
Good Night Sparkleplenty!!!!
Goodnight sparkleplenty.
Phil Jackson for manager just maybe lol
Great season Dodgers, sorry it had to come to an end like this again. We will be back next year and with some smart offseason moves, we will be better prepared to go all the way. GO DODGERS!
I am by default rooting for the Angels.
I only want to ever see the Yankees in the World Series if it's againt the Dodgers.
Generally I'll root for the National League Champ in the World Series — even if they knocked us out of the playoffs (or it's the Giants). But I really dislike two Phillies enough to be against the entire team. The two? Utley and Victorino.
Go Angels. (I'll root for them, but no exclamation point.)
Oldbrooklynfan and Truebluewill ~ I hope you enjoyed your time together tonight eventhough the result isn't what we wanted. I am sure you both made the best of it.
Just like Seanez did last year I have a bad feeling Park going to get a ring to and it just to bad Philly didn't get Nomar when they was rumor he would be over there.
Let the Hot Stove League begin.
The reality: we have only two offensive players who are clearly stars: Kemp and Ethier. Almost everywhere else we have good players with potential to be a lot better than they were this year. We need to improve our offense somewhere and I think that somewhere is 3rd Base. Actually left field would be the best place, but unless Colletti has the balls to try to void his contract we?re stuck with a fading and juiceless Manny.
I like Casey Blake but his offensive statistics for a third baseman are just fair and at his age we cannot expect improvement.
But who?s available? I love Blake DeWitt, but I don?t think he?s ever going to be a star. Josh Bell, Andy LaRoche, and Tony Abreu are no longer with the organization.
The list of 2010 free agent 3rd basemen is pretty thin. Adrian Beltre and Chone Figgins look like the best of a mediocre lot. Ryan Zimmerman and Jorge Cantu are due for free agency in 2011. Maybe we can make a deal for one of them.
I want Carlos Santana and Jon MeLoan back. Get rid of this freaking cancer on this time. Blake should be moved to LF if Blake have the leg for it and give the job to Dewitt now and to be honest after game 2 Belliard should?ve been playing 3rd bases. Thome should've bat for Martin or Blake and I bet the fan were upset not to see Thome get an ab's in these past 3 game. Ethier and Kemp better be our #3 and #4 and played everyday and it doesn?t matter which one you have bat 3rd I like Kemp better #3 or maybe 2nd behind Raffy.
Dump Manny and Blake and go with more kids.
Austin Gallagher 3B/1B

Oops forgot about Xavier Paul since I think he was in that 2002 draft.
As the late great Porky Pig said, "Evitta evitta evitta That's All Folks."
For one reason or another our boys just aren't ready for primetime. Walks, bullpen meltdowns, poor starting pitching and lack of timely hitting I think pretty much sums up the NLCS round. Everything the NLDS was, the NLCS wasn't – again. Philly went out and proved they were the much better team.
That said, it was a very fun season and I look forward to next when Kemp truely has his breakout season, and Kersh furthers his development. Lots of holes to fill this offseason. Let's hope Ned's up to the task.
Thanks for all the fun again this past season on ITD gang! The best part will start here after the WS – hot stove time. Always a pleasure reading and kicking it around when its who do we sign, who do we trade and for whom.
I am still proud of my DODGERS. They were wonderful and watching them throught out the whole season was great. The ending was NOT what we wanted. GREAT JOB BOYS!
BUT….. I don't know what the Dodgers needed to do to win. I want to blame the pitching! I just felt that we did not have a pitcher to match what Phillies had. I hope NED learned his lesson and concentrate on getting us great pitchers. Or the coaches better think of ways to improve what we have. Well our batters were getting on base, but somehow they were NOT crossing the HOME plate. I don't think that bringing YOUNG players will do the trick for next year.
Well I just want to congratulate the Phillies. They are a tough team to beat. Yankees vs. Phillies will be a great series. But Angels are still in the race and I will help my dad, father-in-law and my friends that are Angel fans in supporting & rooting for the Angels (Don't worry my heart will always be BLUE). They have it tough and wish them LUCK.
ENCHANTED well said!
I couldn't agree more, Enchanted and Rose. We were certainly entertained by this team and I am looking forward to next season. I know they are feeling pretty blue right now but, they should be proud of how they played all year.
Still a fan……always a fan.
The funny part is ….I am just weak, so I started to cry… I know, I know. My husband just told me "Welcome to the World of Sports". I can imagine how it will be when my kids get older and are competing. AAAAahhhhh!
Good Morning ITD………………..
I want to say thanks to everyone who comes on here and shares their joys, and heartaches through out the year. This being my first full season, (Hot Stove to Play Off Run.)
I can say it has been a wild ride, but one filled with so much emotion, excitement, anticipation and sometimes disappointment. I want to take the time to show Josh my appreciation for all the time and thoughtful energy he puts into this place, he is what makes this world go round…..Thank you for a wonderful 2009 season Josh…. I also want to thank Mark and Scott for their contributions as well… it is always a pleasure to see your post…..Thank you gentlemen.
I want to thank the organization again for the ITD Tour, where we were able to co – mingle with each other and enjoy a few laughs and stories, while watching this wonderful ball club up close and personal. The enjoyment I received at the Tour is one I will cherish for a lifetime, or two……Thank you to everyone involved…….I look forward to a great 2010 season as well and as always….. I Have Faith
Thanks Again Everyone……..Enjoy your day and your hot stove season……………
You need to do something about that starting pitching. Hope that Billinglsey and Kershaw can get their heads screwed on straight. Wolf is dependable. Padilla is not. Kuroda, I don't know enough about. Don't know if you have what it takes or if he will be available, but Halliday is a stud.
You have the nucleus to stay on top in that division (Ethier, Kemp, Loney, Furcal, Russell) , but that bullpen cannot carry you. Starting pitching is where it's at. Good luck.
Good luck to your Phillies, Phan. Hope they play against the Yankees as well as they did against us. It should be a fun World Series.
I almost forgot, hope we meet again next year!
Thanks Phan….I actually agree with you. But I think Kersh is young but he will be good. Congratulations (Again)!
Predictions an idiot could make (of which I volunteer, being an idiot, that is…)?
Kemp, Ethier, Kershaw and Broxton will be Dodgers in 2010.
Other than those four, they're all trade bait as far as I'm concerned, though Loney is very close to being included in the above group.
Love to see Halladay in blue, but who wouldn't?
Casey Blake needs to become the righty off the bench.
Russell Martin needs to…..oh, never mind.
Gotta admit Kahli, Loney's an enigma. I'd give him one more season to figure it out unless they could get a good return in player(s). Hard to give up 90 RBI, but at the same time he should be hitting over .300 with some better power numbers. 25 doubles and 13 HRs doesn't cut it anymore for a first baseman.
Have to say too that DeWitt isn't going to be able to put up the kinda numbers needed at second or third either.
Looks like the two teams squaring off in the World Series will be the two that invested in Ace front line pitchers, namely Sabathia and Lee. Second rate starting pitchers like Wolf, Padilla, etc. were not enough to get to the last step. Wonder if Halladay would have made a difference? Manny certainly DID NOT.
Its a good starting point Bear. I don't think anyone last year would've confused Lowe and Billz for aces, and certainly not messers Wolf, Padilla and Kersh this year.
To get through the world series you have to have 2-3 strong frontline starters. That's 11 wins in a max of 19 starts. When your starters have a tough time making it though 6 innings all year, oft against mediocre teams, and other than the odd game here and there like Padilla's first start against Philly, they sure aren't going to do much against a playoff team. You can get lucky and catch lightning in a bottle in a best of 5, but when you have to beat a team 4 times you need something better than baling wire and duct tape starters.
I'll give Joe credit, he wanted pitching this year. Ned didn't deliver. As it sits today, next year's starters shape up to be Kersh, Billz, Kuroda, Garland (assuming they pick up his option) and ???. Even money says they go after back of the rotation type pitchers again. They'll either try and resign Wolf, Padilla or some other PVL.
Good enough to win the West? – probably. Good enough to go anywhere in the playoffs? – no.
Gents, I gotta believe Ned will push HARD for Halladay. The media has thrown it in Ned's face for two weeks now, his lack of an ace, that is. Maybe even Lackey as a #2. I'd keep Wolf, if he wants to stay, so long as he's a legitimate #5 (behind Bills and Kershaw)…none of this top of the rotation stuff. What about a revitalized Manny (that possible?), our once-potent Canadian catcher, and a couple prospects to Toronto for Hallady? Manny can rake against NY and Boston regularly as a DH and Martin can go home. Is it the off-season already???!?!?!???!!?
I expect we'll find the mutual option for Garland to be too pricey, and given his record I'd probably agree that around $10 million is too much for him. I'd rather try for Padilla, but wouldn't go near $10 million for him either; same with Wolf.
Overall, I expect that we'll be cutting payroll again, if not out of habit, then due to the Frankie and Jamie scenario.
And yes, we'll probably be the team to contend with in our division, but not likely to improve enough to make it to the World Series. In fact, the way we played in the second half of the season, I would think we would not have made the playoffs if we were contending in the eastern division.
messagebear, way to slap me back to reality……….
Figuring that infidelity must have something to do with the Dodgers' marital dilemma, I hereby chastise any and every man and women on this planet for having decreased standards when contemplating amore.
Halladay would be a good target, but I'm not sure that we can swing that deal, especially if Frank/Jamie have to pay his salary. I would give up Martin and a handful of prospects in a minute for Halladay. At this stage I would not include Loney, because, even though he has been an enigma, I don't see us having or getting anybody better. I also think that Billz is worth keeping, remembering how he did the first half of the season. We probably need somebody better than Honeycut and Torre to figure out what went wrong and more importantly how to remedy that.
There is also a pitcher or two that the Florida Marlins have that would be worth trading for – not the same assurance that Halladay would provide, but maybe more reasonable in terms of what we have to pay.
The playoffs were a microcosm of the season – start out playing like hell, then spend the next half looking like it.
You're probably right Bear, Wolf or Padilla won't have as big a pricetag as Garland, and they're all about the same pitcher.
I'm not against trading Billz, Martin and about a half a dozen others if it'll improve the starting pitching. Of course, you also have to have a manager who's actually willing to let a guy pitch through 7+ innings. This 13 man staff is BS. Way too limiting when it comes to double switches, capable PHs etc. etc. A first rate starter or two would help that.
Hi ITD,
This was a great season, the ups and downs, we repeat going to the NCLS for this first time in 30 years, from Hudson hitting for the cycle vs the gnats to sweeping the Cy studded cards in the divsion series, it was very entertaining. I am proud of our Dodgers. I want to thank you ITD for providing such a great forum to laugh, cry, yell and complain about all things Dodgers (and more), it shows how special are the Dodgers are to each of us. I was really bummed after game 4, but I recovered and remembered the good of this season. I believe at this time last year we were faced with some of the same "rebuilding" concerns and now they present themselves again. I go back when we had no GM, and therefore, would not choose a manager. This upcoming year we have perhaps ownership problems, and nightmares of the Fox News (Murdoch) Era come to mind. But hey 93% of what I get concerned over never happens. My point is the Dodgers are getting better and will continue to get better despite the obstacles, because they are the Dodgers, a tradition that holds itself to higher standards. Looking forward (and how) to 2010 season, and that will be no cake walk, as I expect the NL west to be the toughest division, but bring it on; and yes to echo our ITD faithful; Bring the Ring to the Dodgers!
kahli, I caught the word "infidelity", and my ears went up right away. Who do you think did what? Is there a reality show in the making after all? If there is a guilty party, that should provide some leverage in deciding who will own the team, if either of the McCourts. I'm, of course, hoping that neither of them wants to give in, and the only alternative comes down to selling the team and settling for money. Watch for when this hits the sleeze tabloids!
Frankie deserts Jamie in favor of the Green Girdle. Scurrilous Dodger gang jeader Ned Colletti finds time to sing the blues, Joe Torre quips a lot, Randy Wolf walks a lot, JP whines a lot, and columnist Bill Plaschke kisses up to everyone…
He sits in the third row, she sits in the first. Its Frankie and Annette, I mean Jamie as you've never seen them before in BLEACHER BLANKET BIMBO.
Rated S for screwed. No one will be admitted (to the hot stove) without a barf bag.
Hi everyone,
Not much to say after last night. I think we are all feeling the same way. I am proud of what they have done, but feel that this year was incomplete. As far as next year, would we go after Matt Holliday if Manny didn't pick up his option? I can see a rotation of Kersh, Billz (if he can get his head together), Padilla, Hiro and someone like Halladay or Lackey (not necessarily in that order). I think with one lights out pitcher and maybe one more bat, we are in business. That bat can either be Manny returning to his old self, or someone from outside.

This video is being touted as the new Shroud of Turin for extraterrestrial hunters. It appears to show a fast-moving object cover incomprehensible amounts of ground to zoom and around over a pack of acrobatic jets during an airshow at El Bosque Air Force Base in 2010.
"From different locations, spectators aimed video cameras and phones at groups of acrobatic and fighter jets performing an air show overhead. Nobody saw anything amiss. But afterward, an engineer from the adjacent Pillán aircraft factory noticed something bizarre while viewing his footage in slow motion," said Leslie Kean, author of the New York Times best seller UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go On the Record.
It certainly does look convincing — the object appears to interact naturally with the environment and have substance, as well as appears to move faster and more nimbly than any man-made flying apparatus this writer is aware of. Then again, the Birdman video looked legit at first too.
What do you think? Hoax or close encounter of the second kind? Let us know in the comments!

On July 2 at around 2:20pm, three young men in their twenties allegedly stole 98 comic books from a video rental store in Sendai, Japan (at Japanese video stores, manga are often available for either rent or purchase). The total value of their alleged pull was ¥56,000 or US$702.
The trio escaped in a small car owned by one of the men and drove at high speeds on roads and highways, running traffic lights along the way. Over twenty Sendai cop cars and even a prefectural police helicopter pursued the three men.
After forty minutes, the car got a flat tire on the way to Sendai's port, and the three men were all arrested.
During the chase, there was minor car damage to multiple cars, but thankfully, no one was hurt.
Two of the three have confessed, but one, 24 year-old Yuuki Moriyama, denied the crime, saying, "I don't know anything about this." It was Moriyama's car that the three men attempted their getaway. Bet he knew about that bit, seeing as he was, you know, in the car.

Editorial: In world leadership, what we should ask for this Christmas
by OSV Editorial Board, OSV Newsweekly
The outpouring of tributes for Nelson Mandela this Advent season has underscored the world's hunger for leaders and for reconcilers. Although he began his political career as an armed revolutionary dedicated to overthrowing an oppressive racist system, Mandela evolved into a political leader capable of bringing together enemies. He eschewed revenge for reconciliation. He has become a symbol of what leaders can do, and the extravagant words eulogizing his memory seem in part a critique of a world today that lacks such leaders.
We see a similar hunger in the world's fascination with Pope Francis. Pontiff for nine months, he is a man "from the ends of the earth" with a remarkably common touch. Here is a man who lives what he preaches in a visible and direct way, who embraces the outcast, who welcomes the outsider, who humbly describes himself as a sinner.
We do not believe that this enthusiasm, which includes so many people who are not Catholic or even Christian, is simply the result of friendly press coverage. This enthusiasm reflects a hunger for leaders who live what they preach, who are servant leaders leading with humility and love.
|Although he was God, Jesus allowed himself to be raised and taught, to work and to serve. And in his actions and his words, he told us what we we were expected to do.
We commemorate this week the birth of the Messiah. In a backwater of the Roman empire, in a small town, in a manger, a babe was born. Yet the impact of this birth on the world continues to reverberate to this day.
God became man. Often this fact gets lost amid the tinsel and the trees, but it's true. At one particular moment in human history, he became one of us. And in this incarnation, this powerful intersection of the human with the divine, the temporal with the eternal, the God-man Jesus came to show us, through his life and his teachings, how we are to live.
The Savior of the world came in humility — born not in a palace, but in a simple dwelling in a small town. Although he was God, he allowed himself to be raised and taught, to work and to serve. And in his actions and his words, he told us what we were expected to do.
He focused on the poor, the sick, the dying. He embraced the outcast and, through his parables and lessons, challenged us to do the same.
He resisted the devil's temptations to power and wealth, and he humbled himself to such an extent that he was convicted as a criminal and died painfully on the cross.
And from such humility and such sacrifice arose a movement that became a Church. It proclaimed that the Messiah was not a king and not a conqueror, but a simple preacher walking the roads of ancient Israel. This Messiah conquered death and changed lives. He humbled the mighty and raised up the powerless. He taught us how to live and how to die, and he promised us eternal life.
This Christmas, as we gaze on the babe in the manger in the crèche, we are not just looking at a cute and innocent baby. We are looking at our Savior and Teacher, Redeemer and King. If we can see this, then we should also see that he is looking back at us, and asking us when we will begin following him and living as he taught us.
The world thirsts for a Mandela, a Gandhi, a Pope Francis, a Mother Teresa to remind us what true leaders look like. But the Savior born in Bethlehem wants us. He wants us to follow him in discipleship, with humility and sacrifice, and with love and joy. He wants us to be his.

This is similar to "http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/2057/how-to-write-to-uls-log-in-sharepoint-2010-from-a-net-app". But in my case, logs are NOT showing up in ULS when logging from a web app.

When I write the same line in a console app or linqpad, it logs just fine.
Any ideas of what else I can look at to figure this out?

125 gr (1 stick), unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
2 small size eggs*, room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 egg yolk whisked with 1 tsp water
Cream the sugar and vanilla with butter, break the eggs in it, mix. Then slowly add the flour and baking powder. Make sure everything is well mixed. Dough should be soft. Dived the dough in 16-18 pieces. First give long stick shape with your hands. Traditionally they should be given figure eight or braid shape. Put parchment paper on an oven tray and arrange them on it. Egg wash the tops, then sprinkle some sesame seeds on the tops.
Preheat the oven to 375 F (180 C) and bake for about 25 minutes or until the tops take a golden colour. Place Kurabiye on the wire rack to cool down.
Kurabiye is a traditional Turkish cookie. I love to have it dunked in milk. Every time I bake, the smells come out and I remember my mother for baking Kurabiye for us, when we were little:)
*Add 2 1/4 cups flour instead of 2 cups if the eggs are large size.
Makes 16-18 Kurabiye

I've done it again. I've went and spent a small fortune on myself when I should really be saving and planning ahead for Christmas! Damn instant gratification and online shopping. Unfortunately this month's favourites are predominantly on the expensive side of the spectrum, but if any of them make your want-list don't forget to drop hints for Santa. I'm actually very pleased with these purchases since I've been trying to really improve my skincare regime and I think I have the beginnings of a very good routine in place. Anyone else been overly indulgent in this area or have some suggestions?
Charlotte Tilbury Magic Foundation, £29.50: I'm usually more of a medium coverage kind of foundation junkie, yet I wanted something that would really perfect my skin for photographs, special occasions and general wanting-to-feel-fabulous days. In between these notions I've been obsessed with cultivating a look more focused on light, natural skin and glow, but that's for a whole different post. I've never been let down by Charlotte's brand before so when I'd heard she released a more full coverage foundation I instantly added it to my wishlist, and this month I just went for it. The rosegold cap and dinky glass bottle totally had nothing to do with it. The product is actually a medium-buildable formula, which I wasn't expecting, but now I'm thankful for it as it makes this a more versatile item in my makeup collection. Despite being a heavier formula it still feels nice and light blended on the skin, and allows for some glow so no cakey matte mask face here, but I have oily-combination skin and so unfortunately can't vouch for drier skin. If you have a little more money to invest in a fuller coverage high-end foundation then I definitely recommend looking into this magic little number.
Too Faced Bullet-Proof Brows in 'Universal Taupe', £27: This lovely little product is a tinted wax which comes with a spooly and angled brush duo making application easy. I generally don't have unruly brows, so I use this more for adding extra dimension and colour as it is the perfect shade for my hair and skintone. On its own it creates a natural looking brow, and for a more polished look it's nice paired with a brow pen to define the arch and edges. It is expensive though for what you get, considering how many dupes that exist out there, and I was lucky enough to get this as a present. I'll enjoy it while it lasts, but I'll probably purchase a cheaper option next time!
Clarins Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil in 'Honey', £18: I'm very prone to rambling, and since I've already posted a raving review (here) about this product last week I think I'd better check myself! To recap: this is a lipgloss and effective recovery oil-based lipbalm in one! And tastes like honey.
Origins Overnight Drink Up Intensive Face Mask, £23: This is a great product for skin that suffers badly in the Winter. I'd say from brisk chilly walks or something poetic like that, but for me it's the super drying central heating as I stay firmly inside the house. It's dubbed a 'mask' but it requires no washing off after several minutes have elapsed, making it the perfect option for lazy people who want a little special TLC before promptly getting into bed. I'd actually consider it a really rich and thick overnight moisturiser, which my thirsty skin just drinks up like crazy! Plus the smell is heaven – fruity with apricot hints.
Origins Clean Energy Gentle Cleansing Oil, £23.50: I had an epiphany this month following a stalker-like fascination with Caroline Hiron's skincare blog: oil can make oily skin less oily. My previous night time cleansing routine involved makeup wipes, micellar water followed up with another chemical exfoliant or a gentle washing with a facecloth and foam cleanser. I did this to fully remove makeup and grime and to achieve that 'squeaky-clean' effect that I didn't really feel throughout the day when oiliness factored in. Turns out by stripping my face of natural oils through this rather drying routine I was causing my skin to overcompensate with more oil throughout the day, essentially making my situation worse! To remedy this I opted for the Origins cleansing oil which is a lot more moisturising and gentle than foam-based products, and I follow it up with a bit of micellar water to remove any eye makeup or missed patches after. It's so simple to use: just massage it onto a full face of makeup and just watch it all melt away. Very therapeutic too. Then wash it off with a wet facecloth and pat dry. I love how gentle this particular oil is and have suffered no breakouts whatsoever since I started using it over two weeks ago! My skin doesn't feel so tight and uncomfortable after cleansing and before applying serum or moisturiser, which can only be good news. And you do get a pretty hefty 200 ml in a bottle which always helps.
Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate, £36: I was really investing in my face this month (damn you Hirons!) and opted for one of the most popular and raved about night oils on the market. Since I already loved the brand, my mind was set on this product and it was just a matter of waiting for pay day. This oil keeps skin hydrated and renewing throughout the night and by morning it reveals a bright, fresh face. I don't personally understand how it works, maybe they added fairy dust or something magical to the formula, but my skin looks radiant after a night of using this! It does contain essential oils, but I haven't suffered any kind of reaction or breakout since using it, and I'm usually pretty intolerant to anything heavily scented. Glad I risked it. Big thumbs up.
Kiehl's Ultra Facial Moisturiser, £24: This brand just does wonderful things to my face! When picking up the oil I also decided to try a light lotion formula for daywear, under makeup. This one was perfect for me as it seriously moisturises yet doesn't create a slippery, greasy base for foundation. I frequently see it on offer on FeelUnique, so if you're interested keep an eye out for it there.
COLAB Luxe Shine Glossing Hair Fragrance, £4.99: This is indulgence in a can! It is essentially a shine spray that is perfect for the festive party season, but it also has perfume notes of cashmere, bergamot and oud. The formula has a micro-fine blend of nourishing oils which lightly gloss over the hair to create a smooth, shiny finish without feeling like you've physically added a dollop of oil. Such a unique and useful product, I will be repurchasing! The shine payoff is a-maze-ing, and for someone with dry curly hair this is a godsend.
'Orlando' by Virginia Woolf: I used to be obsessed with everything Woolf related, so revisiting one of my favourite books by her this month through university really rekindled my love! For anyone unfamiliar with the basic premise; this book is about Orlando who lives an extraordinarily long life spanning centuries, and experiences a spontaneous sex change along the way. Witty and extremely funny, it usually takes me around a few hours to read this book since I can't put it down, and every time I notice something I missed previously. It's like finding hidden treasure. Reading pleasure aside, this novel raises some very key fundamental issues surrounding feminism, gender and queer studies, and the very nature of what personal identity is in the modern and now post-modern century. *book-gasm*
Happy December!

people with healthy hearts don't let daughters escape while in police custody.
Nor do they build bungalows worth millions when a lot of the people are suffering *coughcough*
a mum of a friend of a friend of mine worked in one ministry's audit department. She said that a project that was supposed to cost 2 billion was inflated to 16 billion ringgit. Why? because every level of the ministry had to be fed.

With year end fund flows making absolutely no sense for the most part, thank you global central planning, as the euro plunges and the market refuses to follow, with risk assets rising on speculation the ECB (and/or Fed) are about to restart printing yet gold collapsing (on one or two hedge funds liquidating, yet econ PhDs already rewriting their theses on why the "gold bubble has popped"), and finally with Treasurys soaring to near all time highs (10 Year under 1.9% yesterday even as stocks surged on data from the National Advertisers of Realtors, aka NAR, of all fraudulent and corrupt entities), here is the latest observation to make the confusion complete. As the Fed's critical H.4.1 weekly update shows (which is leaps and bounds more accurate than the Treasury's TIC international fund flow data), in the week ended December 28, foreign investors sold the second highest amount of US bonds in history, or $23 billion, bringing total UST custodial holdings to $2.67 trillion, a level first crossed to the upside back in April. This number peaked at $2.75 trillion in mid-August, and as the chart below shows the foreign holdings of US paper have been virtually flat in all of 2011, something which is in stark contrast with what the price of the 10 Year would indicate vis-a-vis investor demand. And going back further, the last week is merely the latest in a series of Custodial account outflows. In fact, in the last month (trailing 4 weeks), foreigners have sold a record $69 billion in US paper, a monthly outflow that was approached only once - in the aftermath of the US downgrade (when erroneously it is said that a surge in demand for US paper pushed rates lower - obviously as the chart shows nothing could be further from the truth).
So here is the conundrum for today: did China continue to dump US paper in the year end, something we saw started with the October TIC data, or was it French banks continuing to sell off any non-EUR assets, and in the process repatriate proceeds, keeping the EUR higher. We don't know, nor frankly, in this uber-centrally p(l)anned market, do we care much any longer.

Physical fitness double standards for male and female cops?
There is still no agreement on what it takes physically to be a cop — or what standards predict success
Comments on my articles "Why aren't there more women in policing?" and "Fewer women in policing because fewer want the job" that lamented double standards for fitness and questioned women's physical ability to do police work prompted this month's discussion:
• What are the physical demands?
• How should they be tested for?
• Should there be different standards for women and men?
There's plenty of variation, but here's a general breakdown of the kinds of physical testing.
Traditional Fitness Tests
Some academies and agencies use a basic fitness test like the Alaska Department of Public Safety.
Its pre-employment test requires:
1.) At least 25 push-ups within one minute
2.) At least 27 sit-ups within one minute
3.) Run 1.5 miles within 15:12
Common variations add a vertical jump and a shorter aerobic run.
Job-Related PAT
The Florida Capitol Police use a physical ability test (PAT) intended to simulate essential physical functions of an entry-level officer. It includes:
1.) Exiting a vehicle/opening a trunk
2.) Running 220 yards
3.) Completing an obstacle course
4.) Dragging a 150-pound dummy
5.) Obstacle course
6.) Running 220 yards
7.) Dry firing a weapon six times with each hand; and
8.) Placing items in a trunk/entering a vehicle
The entire test must be completed in just over six minutes.
Hybrid Approach
The U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) combine the above and add a height/weight requirement. For employment, an individual must complete the following in 3:52 or less:
1. Run through a 600-foot zigzag pattern
2. Jog up three floors and then descend, four times
3. Lift and drag a 165-pound mannequin 40 feet
4. Retrieve an unloaded weapon from a stand and pull the trigger 15 times with each hand
However, the USCP advises applicants that individuals who are able to run 1.5 miles in 13:50 and complete at least 33 push-ups and 37 sit-ups (each within 1 minute) have a better chance of completing the PAT.
The agency also has a Physical Readiness Test (PRT) with proscribed levels for flexibility, a bench press, a 1.5-mile run, an agility run, and body fat percentage. And there's a height/weight requirement. The PRT qualification varies for gender and age. The height/weight requirement varies for gender and frame size.
Pros & Cons
I started this article definitely favoring the job-related PAT approach. That was because I've yet to find a cop who ever had to stop and do push-ups in the course of a job task.
Then a corporal told me there's empirical evidence that push-ups, sit-ups, running, etc., correlate to the fitness needed to meet the physical demands of police work. That still left me asking, "Why settle for a correlation? Why not test for what the job physically requires?"
Seems there are also problems with the nominally job-related PATs. They've never been validated using a standard "criterion-based validation," which analyzes whether a test predicts on-the-job performance.
Even the "content-based validation," which focuses on whether test tasks parallel actual job duties, is questionable because there's no consensus on what physical tests should be used. The fact some police agencies don't use any physical tests adds to the question whether physical tests of any type are predictive of officer performance (page 8).
Some agencies and academies that use the traditional fitness testing have different standards for men and women, and for different age groups. Examples are in Ohio and Illinois. The military also has different fitness standards based on age and gender. As I understand the argument in support of this — given the different physiology of men and women — a woman who can do, for example, 35 push-ups is as fit as a man who can do 40.
Double Standards?
My beef with the traditional fitness double standards is they provide fodder for arguing women can't do the job unless standards are lowered, and they fuel resentment. Why should women suffer the hostility that double standards incite in those looking for reasons to conclude women shouldn't be cops when the standards are meaningless predictors of effectiveness on the job?
This reasoning favors the PATs, but since they haven't been shown to be predictors of on-the-job performance either, perhaps the best approach would be a hybrid one. First, give a physical readiness test for academy training. Check out the LAPD's 4-month pre-academy fitness routine, accompanied by a fitness log, that candidates are expected to bring to the department interview and again to the first day of the academy.
Then, for pre-employment, administer a job-task readiness test. This could be based on any number of police job task analyses — such as California's Entry Level Patrol Officer Job Analysis or the same thing from Michigan.
It might benefit academies to use such job task analyses as the basis of their scenario-based training and testing. At a minimum, use a PAT for pre-employment, like that of the Florida Capitol Police, that simulates entry level job functions.
Another Double Standard
For those expressing concern about entry fitness standards for women, what about maintaining fitness? Where's the concern about what kind of backup or solo subject control an overweight, wheezing, out-of-shape officer can provide? To those who question a petite female officer's ability to wrestle a "250-lb. drunk thug," I daresay that would eliminate a lot of men — including 280-lb., out-of-shape ones.
No matter how big and strong you are, there's always going to be a bigger, stronger bad guy. That's why officers are trained to use their intelligence, verbal judo, defensive tactics, OC spray, ASP baton, TASER, and firearm.
Any martial arts expert I've talked to or researched says mental ability is always more important than physical size or strength. To quote just one:
For winning a fight, assuming we are empty handed, the most important attribute is mental ability... during our experiences we witnessed, many times a smaller person less skilled beat the bigger, faster and many times better skilled opponent, just because he wanted it more, wouldn't give up and so on.
Most of the time officers aren't empty-handed, which increases their mental advantage exponentially. This citizen happily bets her tax dollars on a smart, well-trained, healthy, assertive and persistent officer of any size or gender over a 250-lb. drunken thug.

Feathers Preserved In Amber Give Scientists A More Colorful View Of Dinos
For most of us, the idea of dinosaurs covered in feathers is still something we're getting used to. It's the same with the idea that they weren't olive-colored creatures, but instead were imbued in a wide array of pigments.
Today, brings news that thumbnail-sized feathers found preserved in amber are telling scientists some new things about these glorious creatures. First, it opens a window — as old as 85 million years — into the evolution of their feathers and secondly it gives scientists a better idea of what they looked like.
The Atlantic'sHans Villarica says that in a new report out in the current issue of Science,researchers say the feathers found in a Late Cretaceous site in Canada show feathers "from early-stage, single filament protofeathers to much more complex structures associated with modern diving birds."
That's interesting, but the part of the find that captures our imagination is this:
After analyzing the preserved pigment cells, the authors add that these feathered creatures may have also had a range of transparent, mottled, and diffused colors, similar to birds today.
So what does that mean?
The New York Times spoke to Mark A. Norell, a dinosaur paleontologist at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, who said evidence is mounting that dinosaurs had feathers throughout their evolution — from 250 million years ago to 65 million years ago. Now, "we are filling in the color."
So, the Times asked him, why is still common perception that dinos are drab?
...Dr. Norell said it probably arose from their association with crocodiles, their closest living reptilian relatives.
But he said that was fast changing, citing several colorful examples from recent research. In China, Confuciusornis and a few non-avian dinosaurs appeared to have had ruddy feathers; Sinosauropteryx, a reddish banded tail; and Anchiornis probably resembled a woodpecker, with a black body, banded wings and reddish head comb.

The number of gay men being diagnosed with HIV has reached a record high in the UK, according to the Health Protection Agency (HPA).
One in 20 gay men and men who occasionally have sex with men are HIV positive in the UK – and in London, the ratio is as high as one in 12. Part of the reason for the observed rise is increased testing, but, says the HPA, it is also clear that too many men are unaware that they have HIV and are unknowingly infecting others.
"About 8,000 to 10,000 gay men are HIV positive and unaware of their status," said Dr Valerie Delpech, the HPA's head of HIV surveillance.
According to the HPA's annual report, released on Thursday in advance of World Aids Day on Saturday, 3,010 men who have sex with men were newly diagnosed with HIV in 2011 – 47.9% of all new diagnoses in the UK. The numbers have remained high since 2007.
Men who have tested positive and been put on drug treatment, which can keep them healthy and give them a normal lifespan, are unlikely to be infectious. Trials have shown that treatment has a role to play in preventing the spread of the epidemic – the drugs reduce the levels of virus in somebody with HIV to such a low level that they are unlikely to transmit the infection to a sexual partner.
The HPA and organisations for those diagnosed with HIV are all advocating regular testing for anybody at risk. Gay men and other men who have sex with men should take an annual test, they say – and if they have new or casual partners, they should be tested every three months.
Living a long and healthy life with HIV depends on starting treatment early. "People are still starting late: they are infected for three to five years before they are diagnosed," said Delpech. People who are diagnosed as HIV positive late are at 10 times the risk of dying within a year of discovering they have the infection. They are also more likely to infect people while they remain unaware of their status.
The black African community in Britain also faces a higher risk than average, with 37 out of every 1,000 living with HIV last year. Far more men and women in the black African community are diagnosed late than gay men – 68% and 61% respectively, compared with 35%.
The HPA is recommending safe-sex programmes promoting condom use and annual HIV testing as a priority for this community as well as for men who have sex with men. They want NHS clinicians to take every opportunity to offer testing to those at higher risk.
The total number of people in the UK living with HIV climbs steadily every year because treatment is keeping more people alive. Including both diagnosed and undiagnosed cases, it has now reached 96,000, with a total of 6,280 new diagnoses in 2011.
Nearly half of all new diagnoses were acquired heterosexually. More than half of all new UK infections were acquired while the subject was in Britain, compared with 27% in 2002: the small drop in new infections last year, from 6,400 in 2010 to 6,280 last year, was because of the drop in the number of people who had been infected abroad.
Deborah Jack, chief executive of the National Aids Trust, said: "What is striking about the HPA's data is how it really shows both our successes and our shortcomings in tackling HIV in the UK. On the one hand, we can hail treatment as a real success story. Treatment is effective, people diagnosed with HIV can access it easily and it is working in keeping the virus under control.
"However, when it comes to increasing the uptake of testing – the gateway to treatment – our services are patchy, inconsistent and ultimately we are still failing to make any significant headway in tackling the high rates of undiagnosed HIV.
"A quarter of people living with HIV are unaware they have the virus. As long as this figure remains high, new infections will continue to occur. We must increase our efforts in encouraging people to test and making sure that the health service is taking advantage of every single avenue in offering an opportunity to test – something that isn't happening at the moment."
Sir Nick Partridge, the chief executive of the HIV/Aids charity the Terrence Higgins Trust, spoke up for safe sex and said that testing could add 40 years to a person's life. "HIV is an entirely preventable condition, yet each year we see thousands more people across the UK receive this life-changing diagnosis," he said. "While there is still no cure and no vaccine, that doesn't mean we need to accept its continuing march."

Facebook will soon let you edit your 'Look Back' video
Look Back is essentially a customized video for each user that shows his or her most important Facebook moments. The video proved to be quite popular with Facebook users, and it seems like everyone is sharing it. However, it lacks one important feature: editing.
See also:Take a Look Back Into Your Facebook History
Oddly enough, the help page for Look Back does mention an edit function. "Click Edit Your Movie below the video player. Use the checkmarks on your photos and other stories to adjust whether they appear in your movie," it says. The only problem: There is no "Edit Your Movie" button yet.
According to TechCrunch, however, the button is coming "soon."
"We will be launching an Edit feature soon that will allow people to change moments in their movies or update the ones they shared. I don't have exact timing at the moment, but this will enable people to remove a post from the movie that was pre-selected and change it to a different one," a Facebook representative told TechCrunch.
So if you're aching to create your own Look Back video, you won't have to wait much longer. It'll be interesting to see where Facebook takes Look Back from here; judging from the company's level of commitment to the seemingly one-off feature, it might turn into a fully fledged new service.
