Director John Berry proclaimed in his letter introducing OPM's Open Government Plan: "We are very excited about engaging further with our stakeholders – employees, unions, the public, academia, other agencies, and non-profit organizations – to create a more transparent, participatory, and collaborative Government."
It has been one year since the White House released the Open Government Directive, part of a larger initiative to improve Government services through transparency, public participation and collaborations. Through OPM's Open Government Plan, we have honored the commitment to our stakeholders by making more information available to and usable by the public. We are engaging OPM employees, along with external stakeholders, in more collaborative and transparent ways to solve complex, agency-wide dilemmas through clearly defining the problem, generating creative ideas, and recommending new solutions to the OPM Executive Board.
Here are some of the highlights we have accomplished thus far:
We are moving forward with implementing the rest of OPM's Open Government Plan by focusing on ways in which we can build a culture that truly values openness - collaboration, participation and transparency - and learn how it can help us better do our jobs and fulfill our mission to recruit, retain, and honor a world-class workforce to serve the American people.
Visit the Open OPM blog at http://www.opm.gov/blogs/openopm/index.aspx for the latest Open Government news and events.
Sunshine Week is "a national initiative to promote a dialogue about the importance of open government and freedom of information." OPM has taken the challenge of Open Government and committed itself to becoming a model of openness and transparency. Director John Berry noted in his letter introducing our Open Government Plan, at the United States Office of Personnel Management "We are very excited about engaging further with our stakeholders – employees, unions, the public, academia, other agencies, and non-profit organizations – to create a more transparent, participatory, and collaborative Government".
The notion of Openness is built in to our strategic plan and our organizational values, which link directly to our mission: "Recruit, Retain and Honor a World-Class Workforce to Serve the American People." FY10 saw OPM make good progress in creating an environment of "openness", by making improvements toward proactive disclosure, and effectively responding to FOIA requests. You can read more in our 2010 Freedom of Information Act Report.
Below is a special invite for you to attend the Open Government Summit hosted by OPM on February 18, 2011 in Room 1350. We will kick off the session at 8:30 a.m. and the remainder of the morning will include breakout sessions with various folks across OPM, other agencies and private sector. We hope to share information about the OPM Open Government effort as well as learn best practices from other agencies and some external stakeholders. We have limited seating in Room 1350 so please respond to the invite below as soon as possible.
Look forward to seeing you at the session.

New York University School of Medicine
The New York University Grossman School of Medicine is the medical school of New York University. Founded in 1841 as the University Medical College, the NYU School of Medicine is one of the foremost medical schools in the United States, ranking 4th in research according to U.S. News & World Report.[2] As of 2017, it is one of the most selective medical schools in the United States, with an acceptance rate of 1.6%.[3] In 2014, New York University School of Medicine attracted over $304.5 million in external research funding from the National Institutes of Health.

The School of Medicine is part of NYU Langone Medical Center, named after Kenneth Langone, the investment banker and financial backer of The Home Depot. It is located at 550 First Avenue in New York City. The School of Medicine has 1,177 full-time faculty and 3,091 part-time faculty. Additionally, there are 104 endowed professorships, 1,078 residents/fellows, 68 M.D./Ph.D. candidates and 400 postdoctoral fellows as of 2011[update].[1][4] The NYU Medical Center is home to the School of Medicine, the Sackler Institute of Graduate Biomedical Sciences, and the Charles C. Harris Skin & Cancer Pavilion.
In 2016-17, NYU Langone Medical Center was also recognized on the U.S. News & World Report "Best Hospitals Honor Roll," ranking 10th[5] among the top hospitals in the nation with 13 nationally ranked specialties including cancer, cardiology & heart surgery, neurology & neurosurgery, orthopedics, diabetes & endocrinology, nephrology, geriatrics, gastroenterology, ear, nose & throat, rehabilitation, pulmonology, rheumatology, and urology.[6] Graduates of New York University School of Medicine are accepted into competitive residency programs and leading medical centers.
In August 2018, the School of Medicine announced it would be offering full-tuition scholarships to all current and future students in its MD degree program regardless of need or merit.[7]
Medical educationEdit
New York University School of Medicine has recently implemented the curriculum for the 21st century.[8] The new curriculum consists of 18 months of basic science and two and a half years of clinical training. Students take the USMLE Step 1 exam after the clerkship year (with the exception of MD/PhD students, who take it before starting their PhD work). This allows students additional time to take electives, conduct research, or go on away rotations. Other features of the curriculum include NYU3T (a joint program with the New York University College of Nursing) and PLACE (Patient-Based Longitudinal Ambulatory Care Experience).
The NYU School of Medicine also offers several 5-year joint degree programs, some of which can be optionally completed in 4 years.:[9]
- MD/MPA in Health Policy and Management (with the Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service)
- MD/MPH in Global Health
- MD/MBA in General Management (with the New York University Stern School of Business)
- MD/MA in Bioethics
- MD/MSc in Clinical Investigation
Since 1964, NYU School of Medicine has offered MD/PhD dual degree training through the Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP).
Recently, NYU School of Medicine has introduced a 3-year MD program based on the program first pioneered in Canada at McMaster University Medical School in 1965. The 3-year program can only be applied to by students accepted into the 4 year stream. 3-year program students are guaranteed a residency placement in their specialty of choice at NYU Langone Medical Center. They complete their preclinical training at the same time as 4 year students, however they start clinical rotations 6 weeks earlier and also spend the summer after their first year doing a summer fellowship in the department of their specialty of choice.[10]
Admission to NYU School of Medicine is among the most selective in the country. For the Class of 2019, NYU received 7,807 applications and interviewed 1027 applicants for a class of 132 medical students. The matriculating class had a median GPA of 3.87 and a MCAT score of 36, with 33% of the incoming class being underrepresented minorities.
The main NYU Langone Medical Center campus is located at the East River waterfront at 1st Ave. between 30th and 34th street. It hosts the NYU School of Medicine, Tisch Hospital and the Howard A. Rusk Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine. Other NYU Langone Medical Center facilities across the city include the Hospital for Joint Diseases Orthopaedic Institute, the NYU Cancer Center on 34th Street, and Woodhull Hospital in Brooklyn. NYU Langone Medical Center also has a long-standing affiliation with the Bellevue Hospital, NYU's principal teaching hospital, of the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation, and with the Manhattan Veteran's Affairs Hospital.[11]
Most recently, the NYU School of Medicine opened a new emergency simulation center at Bellevue Hospital in a joint effort with the City University of New York. Medical students, nurses, EMTs, and other medical staff will be able to practice and refine their skills on state-of-the-art mannequins, as well as actors playing standardized patients.[12]
Research facilities include the Sackler Institute of Graduate Biomedical Sciences[13] and the Skirball Institute of Biomolecular Medicine.[14]
New York University College of Medicine was established in 1841. The medical school merged with Bellevue Hospital Medical College in 1898 to form the University and Bellevue Hospital Medical College. The present name was adopted in 1960 together with the use the rod of Asclepius as logo.
The NYU School of Medicine is home to many key advancements in medical education. In 1854, human dissection in New York was legalized due to efforts of the faculty. In 1884, the Carnegie Laboratory, the first facility in the U.S. devoted to teaching and research in bacteriology and pathology, was established at NYU. In 1932, the first department of forensic medicine in the U.S. was established at NYU. In 1941, NYU opened the first department of physical medicine and rehabilitation in the U.S. The Institute and Department of Environmental Medicine were established in 1964. In 1980, NYU professor Saul Krugman, M.D., developed the first vaccine against hepatitis B.
In 1866, NYU professors produced a report for the Council of Hygiene and Public Health which led to establishment of New York City's Health Department. The same year, NYU opened the first outpatient clinic in the United States. In 1872, NYU Professor Steven Smith founded the American Public Health Association. In 1899, NYU graduate Walter Reed discovered the mosquito transmission of yellow fever. The 1993 construction of the Skirball Institute of Biomolecular Medicine is the largest building project in history of NYU.
During World War II, NYU College of Medicine was one of 131 colleges and universities nationally that took part in the V-12 Navy College Training Program which offered students a path to a Navy commission.[15]
Relationship with Mount Sinai School of MedicineEdit
In 1998, the Mount Sinai-NYU Health System was established when the NYU Medical System merged with Mount Sinai Hospitals. The joint organization included Mount Sinai Hospital, Mount Sinai Hospital of Queens, Tisch Hospital, Rusk Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine, Hospital for Joint Diseases Orthopaedic Institute, NYU Downtown Hospital, and Mount Sinai School of Medicine. The merger made NYU the only private university in the country with two medical schools.[16] The union dissolved in 2003 while confronting a shared debt of $665.6 million, but NYU continued to award Mount Sinai's degrees. In 2010, however, the Mount Sinai School of Medicine was accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education and became an independent degree-granting institution without a university affiliation for the first time in its history.[17]

An exchange of fire between the extremists and the security forces is still going on, said the source.
The source added that hundreds of gunmen attacked Arish Airport, a security camp in Rafah,a police station and two security checkpoints in Sheikh Zewaid by heavy artillery and rocket-propelled grenades in North Sinai that led to the killing of a soldier and injured three others.
The attacks came after the Egyptian army ousted Islamist-oriented president Mohamed Morsi on Wednesday in response to millions of protesters who took to the streets and public squares across the country demanding his removal.
Islamist supporters of the ousted president rejected his ouster as "a military coup" and vowed to struggle for Morsi's legitimacy.
Armed attacks on police and military premises and checkpoints prevailed in Sinai Peninsula due to lack of security following the 2011 mass protests that ousted ex-president Hosni Mubarak.

Call Of Duty Ghosts Just Can't Stand Those Awful Women
Call Of Duty's online world has something of a reputation. A reputation for being a cesspit of revolting idiocy, bile and cruelty, rather spoiling it for those who just want some multiplayer shootyfun. So it is to this that Activision have targeted their latest trailer for Ghosts Onslaught. To the idiots, I mean.
Call Of Duty is, in Activision's mind, what men do when they can finally escape the horrors of hideous wives or children. A game for men only. MEN. Not those awful nags! Just the lads! Cor eh guys, don't the missus just go on and on and stop you from enjoying shouting obscenities into your microphone because of something about raising the kids or whatever she's whinging about now?! Because it's apparently 1994, and we're all reading Loaded.
My explanation: an advertising executive time travelled from a more pathetic age. "Hey guys," he said, to the room full of other men. "What if we show massively traumatised women while men enjoy a sit down and a game of COD?" The others all sit up in interest, slicking back their slicked back hair. "Go on, go on," says their 27 year old boss, coughing slightly on the cigarette he's trying to smoke. "You've got our synergistic attention."
"Okay," continues the inspired one, "and you see…" He pauses, looks around the room at the open-mouthed rapture of his colleagues, and breathes in the moment. "Well 'COD' – that sounds a bit like 'KID'. We could say…" He stops again, as everyone leans forward. "We could say, 'CODNAPPED'!"
There's silence for a moment. And then just the throng of applause. One man weeps with joy, and is immediately shot in the head. The rest lift our genius onto their shoulders, and carry him from the room, cheering and explaining to each other about their potential for consuming alcohol and that time they saw a boob.
And scene.
It's rather pitiful really, isn't it? Which is a bit of a shame, because blimey, the game bits look pretty decent. Call Of Duty: Ghost's single player was utterly dreadful, but look at those massive alien things! That's part of Extinction Episode 1: Nightfall. That bit looked pretty interesting. Just showing the game, I imagine they'd have appealed to not only the fuckwits they're apparently targeting with the rest of the ad, but also, you know, other people. I'm pretty sure other people have some money too.

Children's car seats can get very dirty, very quickly so when you need to give yours a wash but still use the car seat, a spare is the only solution. As the cover is a safety feature of the car seat, you simply must have a cover on to use the seat at all.
The Britax Römer Spare Cover for MAX-WAY is an original replacement cover suitable for use with the Britax Römer MAX-WAY car seat (seat sold separately).
- Machine washable for convenient, easy cleaning
- Easy to install and remove as required
- Refreshes a tired looking car seat
All about me
The spare cover is easy to slip over the shell of the seat and gives your little one the same comfort they would get from their original cover. This cover is also washable at 30°c and can be used to refresh a tired looking seat. Maybe you've changed cars and want a new colour to match the new upholstery, or just fancy a change? it's all up to you.
**PLEASE NOTE; the product sold is a spare cover ONLY. Harness pads are not included and the car seat is sold separately**

Blog Caroling
Christmas music is my favorite music. When I was growing up and going to Catholic School, my favorite time was when we started singing the Christmas Carols. I think my favorite was " Come all ye Fathful" or the Latin, "Adeste Fideles". the best part was singing the chorus and getting louder with each verse.
This is from Google:The text to the Carol O Come All Ye Faithful was originally written in Latin (Adeste Fideles) and was intended to be a hymn, it is attributed to John Wade, an Englishman. The music to O Come All Ye Faithful was composed by fellow Englishman John Reading in the early 1700s. The tune was first published in a collection known as "Cantus Diversi" in 1751. In 1841 Rev. Frederick Oakley is reputed to have worked on the familiar translation of O Come All Ye Faithful which replaced the older Latin lyrics "Adeste Fideles".
O Come All Ye FaithfulJoyful and triumphant,
O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem.
Come and behold Him,Born the King of Angels;
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,Christ the Lord.

text: Raisin' Bran #1 Posted January 16, 2017 Welcome to Acrophobia 27! If you are like myself, you have sometimes wondered what would happen if two characters in the series had met. How would they react to each other? What would they say? Now you can take the characters' destiny in your own hands. They can have profound insight for the other, they can be snarky, humble, whatever you want. If you are interested, join the game and find out who meets who. Will they come off as jerks, or will they help shape Westeros' future? As a special bonus, have fun and grab your chance to win! The Rules: Spoiler 1. There will be 6 rounds. 2. Each round will introduce a pairing of characters who have not met in the books to date and a new acronym. The objective is to compose a line or lines of dialogue between the two, determining which one or both of the ASOIAF characters might say to the other using the letters provided in the acronym as the first letters of the words in the message. For clarity, I ask that the character's name be stated before the dialogue. Example: Characters: Jon and Dany, in the Dothraki Sea Characters: Ned and Drogo Characters: Arya Stark and Walder Frey, agreeing to truce Acronym: W S T H D I G H Acronym: B N T T A W Acronym: G M G F Y V M W A Dany - Welcome strange traveler. Ned - Best not try to attack Westeros Arya - Guaranteed? Jon - How did I get here? Walder - Mayhaps A - Good W - Farewell A - Yes, Valar Morghulis Wally W - AAAAaaahhhhh...... 3. Entries must only contain words that begin with the letters the acronym provided; therefore, you may not stick in a word like a, the, of, and, etc. to make your words make sense. 4. Deadlines for each round will be detailed as each round arrives. I will give at least 72 hours to submit, and maybe more (depending on the time of the week). Petitions for extensions may be submitted prior to the deadline, or I may allow an extension if numerous players have not submitted their entries as the deadline draws near. I will also adhere to the principle first proposed by the yomi (reference needed), where the entries will still be accepted after the submission deadlines, but without giving the late entrants their point for submitting. 5. Entries are to be messaged to me through a PM. Title your message Acrophobia 27 - <your Board Name here> and keep all communication to the same messaging thread. You may edit/change your entry until the deadline, but it must be done by sending a new message. 6. When all submissions are in, they will be posted on the thread. Entries are to be anonymous, so do not reveal which is your entry. Revealed entries will be disqualified. 7. Players will then have time to vote for their favorite entries. All votes are public. Submit your votes in a comment on the game thread and make it clear which entry is first, which entry is second, and which entry is third (and fourth), in your opinion. You may not vote for your own entry. You may change your vote up until the voting window closes by editing your original voting post. 8. After submissions of one round are over, voting and the submissions for a new round will run simultaneously. 9. Points will be awarded as follows: 1 point for a submission 1 point for voting 3 points for someone choosing your answer as their top choice 2 points for someone choosing your answer as their second choice 1 point for someone choosing your answer as their third choice and any additional places 4 points for having the answer with the most 1st place votes (ties get 2 points each) Points will be added across all the rounds and the player with the most points will be the winner. 10. You may join at any time, both during the submission and voting. If you have made up your mind to join, send me a PM so we can start as soon as possible. I have a list of characters to be included in the various rounds, however, if you have a pair of characters in your mind that you would like to see in this game, don't hesitate to let me know.

No, it isn't quite a Charlotte Wine & Food Weekend year yet. The next festival doesn't happen until April 23-26, 2014. But it takes a lot of work to pull it together, which is why they hold the official kickoff a year in advance.
So: Tickets go on sale Feb. 7 for the April 20 kickoff for the April 2014 festival. Got that?
The kickoff party is from 6:30 to 11 p.m. at Founders Hall, 100 N. Tryon St., with the theme "Motown @ Uptown." There's food from Aria Tuscan Grill, wine (a lot of wine), live and silent auction items and dancing. $250 includes a VIP dinner beforehand at Aria, $125 gets you the party and free parking. And there's a new ticket level, called Young Aficionados, that's $75 for ages 21-35 for just the party.
Four charities are beneficiaries of the 2013-14 "season of fundraising" events: A Child's Place Homeless Student Initiatives, Council for Children's Rights Services for Abused and Neglected Children, Pat's Place Family Advocacy Program, and Second Harvest's Backpack Project for kids.
Tickets will be available starting Feb. 7 at www.charlotteinweandfood.org.

Equity futures are down slightly, but came back from a deeper hole following the latest weekly employment report:
We're to the point that something is going to have to give – it's either sacrifice the dollar by sending stocks higher, or let stocks slide to save the dollar. The dollar is sitting right on the bottom boundary of that descending wedge as it has been for the past 3 days. It's been climbing out, but then diving back. The longer it stays down near that 77 range, the more likely it is to eventually break down. Bonds are slightly higher, moving the opposite direction of what is the normal relationship with the morning move higher in equities, move lower in the dollar. Gold is making a pretty clear down channel and is about $991 right now.
The trade data came out with a wider than forecast trade deficit. Both exports and imports gained a little, but when you look at the year over year figures, the monthly move is just noise, it is still a collapse of historic proportions with imports down more than 30%, and exports down more than 20%. Note Econoday does not talk about those figures, they only talk about the month over month noise because it was "positive" if you like being indebted to the rest of the world:
The U.S. trade deficit in July worsened significantly and oil had little to do with it. Businesses appear to be gambling on recovery actually happening as nonoil imports spiked. The overall U.S. trade gap worsened to $32.0 billion from a revised $27.5 billion gap in June. The latest deficit was notably more negative than the consensus estimate for $28.0 billion in red ink. The good news is that exports posted a gain of 2.2 percent after a 2.1 percent increase in June. However, imports jumped 4.7 percent after a 2.5 percent rise in June. The worsening in the trade deficit was due to a wider nonpetroleum goods deficit which grew to $23.5 billion from $19.8 billion the previous month. Import gains were widespread but led by autos and consumer goods. The jump in auto imports likely was related to the cash-for-clunkers program. The petroleum gap grew to $17.9 billion from $17.3 billion the previous month.
Today's trade report showed a spike in the trade deficit partly due to cash-for-clunks but businesses still anticipant demand to be up for consumer goods excluding autos and for capital equipment. And manufacturing is getting a boost from exports. Overall, the trade sector is warming up a bit and that is good news.
Jobless claims came in at a NASTY 550,000. That is a drop of 26k from the week prior. Econoday notes that continuing claims are down, but they fail to mention that it is solely due to people losing benefits and falling off the unemployment roles. People can't continue to file when their benefits run out and they are not counted.
First-time jobless claims fell a substantial 26,000 in the Sept. 5 week to a lower-than-expected level of 550,000 (prior week revised from 570,000). Aside from adjustment-related volatility during the summer auto shutdowns, the latest level is the lowest since the very beginning of the year. But one week isn't enough to pull the four-week average down much, at 570,000 vs. 572,750 in the prior week.
Fewer are also drawing continuing benefits with continuing claims down a sizable 159,000 to 6.088 million in data for the Aug. 29 week and the lowest level since April. The unemployment rate for insured workers fell 1 tenth to 4.6 percent.
Equities and commodities both popped higher in immediate reaction to today's 8:30 ET data that included trade data which show strength in U.S. exports. The jobless claims report certainly indicates improvement and points to continued month-to-month easing in payroll losses.
As the Fed updates the trade data I'll dig out their charts and present them.
The 60 minute stochastics are just rolling over from overbought, I would not be surprised by a pullback in here, watch the pivot points, 1,018 is support, 1,041 is the pivot above but the 1,030 area is heavy resistance. The dollar is on the verge, a break below 77 could be violent, but it could also be a fake in today's pushbutton Goldman controlled markets.

Microsoft's decision to discontinue OEM and packaged sales of Windows XP at the end of June - leaving businesses and consumers with the less-than-celebrated Vista as their only choice of Windows operating system on new PCs - has drawn considerable criticism and led to an outpouring of support for the continuation of XP sales.
Over 75,000 people have signed Infoworld's 'Save XP' petition; a Web site complete with an XP countdown timer, video tributes, and a series of articles detailing why a large number of businesses, organisations and consumers are unhappy with Microsoft's decision to force them into adopting the yet-to-be widely accepted Vista operating system.
In late November, a survey of 961 IT professionals conducted by King Research found 90 per cent of respondents had concerns about migrating to Vista. Apprehension stemmed primarily from stability issues, but also due to compatibility problems and the cost in both hardware and software terms of migrating. 44 per cent said they would consider non-Windows operating systems to avoid these migration issues, with many stating that virtualization had made it easier to implement alternative operating systems.
In response to Infoworld's petition and other pro-XP outpourings of support, a Microsoft spokesperson in the US told Computerworld: "We're aware of it, but are listening first and foremost to feedback we hear from partners and customers about what makes sense based on their needs. That's what informed our decision to extend the availability of XP initially, and what will continue to guide us."
The spokesperson said Windows will not disappear completely from the worldwide market place after the June cutoff, stating the software giant understood that some market segments such as small businesses and emerging market customers require "a little more time" before they upgrade to Vista.
"Therefore OEMs will continue to sell XP through June 30th 2008 and system builders will be able to sell XP through January 2009 as they cater to the small business markets. In emerging markets where XP Starter Edition is sold, it will still be available through June 30th, 2010."
According to Infoworld's Save-XP site, many businesses and consumers aren't excited about dispensing their time and money upgrading to a new OS that they believe does not offer enough considerable advantages over XP, and are not keen on dealing with the incompatibility issues upgrading invariably causes. Their argument is simple - 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'.
Among those who signed Infoworld's petition was Al, who posted the following message on January 14:
"We have got to save Windows XP. As of now, it is one of the most stable Windows systems...Windows Vista has still not been debugged enough and a good deal of (rather important) software is still glitchy under Vista. So until the situation is improved on both Microsoft and Third Party Vendors sides, we need to preserve Windows XP some more time."
Or this, from Kurt Morin, posted January 30:
"I have been working with windows ever since Windows 3.1. I support the desktop environment in a public school system and at this time because of hardware limitations [we] are running a mix of Windows 2000 and XP. There is no way this hardware (too old to upgrade) will run Vista and because of budget constraints will not be able to purchase new hardware. I have nothing against Windows but I do have a problem with Mr. Gates forcing us to eventually have to upgrade by dropping support of the other OS's."

Another important point about the Graham-Cassidy plan: The abrupt elimination of federal health care funding for block grants to the states in 2027 doesn't have to be in the bill, the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities says in a new report.
Authors David Kamin and Richard Kogin take issue with two claims the bill's sponsors have made in defending the funding cliff: First, that it's necessary in order to unlock the procedural method known as reconciliation that Republicans want to use to pass the bill without Democratic votes. Second, that it doesn't really matter because Congress will reauthorize funding for the block grants before they expire. "The first claim is false, the second highly misleading," the CBPP authors charge.
On the first point, the authors explain that the block grants could be made permanent because reconciliation requires that legislation not add to the deficit beyond the 10-year budget window. The Graham-Cassidy bill meets that test "since its cuts to health care funding are deeper than its tax cuts, whether or not the block grant continues."
On the second point, they warn that, even if Congress were to reauthorize funding for the block grants, the uncertainty surrounding the decision is likely to have consequences before 2027. States might pull back on programs to expand coverage, insurers might drop out, and health care providers might hold off on new hires or investments.
At the same time, the authors write that the budget baseline would suddenly be lower once the block grants expire, making it harder to renew the funding. Lawmakers would have to scale back the grants or come up with hundreds of billions of dollars in additional offsetting cost cuts.
And they suggest one other reason the legislation may have been written to have the federal funding end: Lowering the budget baseline and showing smaller deficits for 2027 and beyond could make it easier to push through the tax cuts Republicans are pursuing. "In this way, policymakers could essentially use health cuts to finance tax cuts, even if they are not packaged together in the same bill."

Spiced Rhubarb Cake Recipe
I've baked probably about dozen rhubarb cakes and tarts over the last few weeks, and I still haven't had enough. Rhubarb is the first local "fruit" (I know it's actually a vegetable, but it classifies as fruit for the cooking purposes, a bit like quinoa counts as a grain, even if it is not) to arrive on the market stalls, and after a long winter season of mediocre imported fruit flown if from the other side of the world, it feels like a blessing. I'm proud to say that I managed to resist buying the imported pink forced rhubarb stalks that arrived about a fortnight earlier - and the sweeter the home-grown rhubarb tasted (if one can use that word in relation to rhubarb :))
Here's one simple tray bake recipe, made special by generous amounts of cinnamon and cardamom, and the lack of eggs. It's soft, tender and tasty. Choose the pinkest rhubarb you can find, and you're guaranteed one Pretty in Pink cake (note that I never peel my rhubarb stalks. Cannot see the point, unless they're very large and stringy, in which case it's better to avoid them anyway).
Serve with icing sugar or vanilla custard. Keeps fresh for a few days because of the buttermilk content.
Spiced Rhubarb Cake
(Kevadine rabarbri-plaadikook)
500 ml kefir or buttermilk (2 cups)
50 g unsalted butter, melted and cooled
200 g sugar (1 cup)
300 g plain/all-purpose flour (2 cups)
100 ml potato starch/cornflour (just under 1/2 cup)
0.5 Tbsp bicarbonate of soda
0.5 Tbsp freshly ground cardamom
0.5 Tbsp ground cinnamon
400 g rhubarb, sliced thickly
7 Tbsp muscovado sugar
Preheat the oven to 200 C/400 F. Line and/or grease a baking tray (ca 25-30 x 34 cm)*.
Combine the kefir/buttermilk and melted butter.
Combine the flour, potato starch, sugar, bicarbonate of soda, cinnamon and cardamom. Fold in the buttermilk mixture.
Pour or spoon the batter into the baking tray, scatter rhubarb on top and sprinkle with sugar.
Place immediately into the oven (the baking soda starts reacting with the buttermilk as soon as they come into contact) and bake for 30-40 minutes, until the cake is golden brown on top.
* I cooked mine in a baking tray sized 25x34 cm, but you could easily use a large tray. Reduce the baking time accordingly.

Rhubarb cakes, yum yum! I'm partial to taking a standard recipe for gingerbread (can supply one if you wish) and folding lots of diced raw rhubarb into the dough. The "fruit" is so lovely with the molasses-spicy cake.

Pille, looking forward to making it. just wanted to clarify the amount of potato starch.should it be in grams - it is in ml.\Thanks.
- 10:44 pm, March 07, 2010
- Pille said...
Valentina, I didn't measure potato starch in grams, just used my millilitre measuring cup. An American cup is ca 250 ml, so 100 ml is 1/10 of a litre, aka a little under half a cup (or 7 even Tablespoonfuls).

International Airport | GEOG29 | Released: 22/08/04
Association! is the lead-off track on the stunning new International Airport album, Reunion Of Island Goose. Immediately we thought it should be a single, and that people would want to join in with this association without rules, a rule book or leaders. They�ve got a good song though, and when we started to think of it as a single, rather than abstracting out into the world of remixes, we invited the kings of song, Teenage Fanclub to play it straight with a simple cover version. Teenage Fanclub are just back from Chicago where they�ve completed a new album with John McEntire, who also mixed International Airport. Members from both groups play in The Pastels, so there�s a familiarity with the form and style of the Airport�s avant pop. Teenage Fanclub�s cut is a little harder with more focus on the groove, with soul handclaps and a great cutting guitar sound. It sounds close to some of The Beatles 1966 / 67 out-takes with double-tracked drums, and a �come by and play on it�, community vibe. Mostly it sounds like Teenage Fanclub of course, but it sounds like Teenage Fanclub moving towards a new sound once again full of possibilities. The instrumental cut is also really fantastic. Finally, Airport leader, Tom Crossley, imagining both versions running together, decided to make a mash, where they do run together, one in each channel, and bringing the subtle clang of the original into a somehow more physical space. Everyone�s singing �I�m part of the association!�.

Ibanez hoping to remain with Mariners
HOUSTON -- Raul Ibanez's prodigious first half with the Mariners has resulted in his name coming up as a potential Trade Deadline candidate for a contending team, but the 41-year-old outfielder said Friday he's had no discussions on that topic with general manager Jack Zduriencik and isn't looking to leave Seattle.
"I like being here," Ibanez said prior to the Mariners' series opener against the Astros on Friday. "I like being a part of this team and I'd like to win here."
With Seattle sitting 11 games out of a Wild-Card playoff berth at the midseason break, would he be interested in getting dealt to a club with a better shot at the postseason?
"I would say it's July and why can't we do that here? That would be my response," Ibanez said. "Why can't we do that here? Yeah, I want to play in the playoffs, right here. I think we've been playing good baseball the last couple of weeks, and I'd like to see that continue."
Ibanez has been in the postseason five of his 18 years in the Majors: once with Seattle in 2000, three times with the Phillies from 2009-11 -- including their World Series team in '09 -- and last year when he played a huge role for the Yankees.
But he's never been traded in his career and didn't sound eager to change that now after signing a one-year deal with Seattle and becoming the oldest player in Major League history with 20-plus homers and 50-plus RBIs at the All-Star break.
Ibanez is tied for fourth in the American League in home runs with 24 and also leads the Mariners with 56 RBIs while batting .267 going into Friday's game.
"It's never happened and that's even more confirmation for me as to why I don't think about it," he said of a potential trade. "A lot of times you end up worrying and stressing about things that never happen. I try not to worry and stress and think about things like that. I try to do my job."
Ibanez spent his All-Star break lifting weights, swimming with his kids and staying busy.
"When you get to 40, you have to work out," he said. "I always joke with these guys and say, 'Inactivity is the enemy of middle-aged players.'"
He watched part of the All-Star Game, including the dramatic moment when last year's Yankee teammate, Mariano Rivera, entered the game to an empty field and pitched in his final Midsummer Classic.
"That was awesome," Ibanez said. "Just amazing. A great moment just for the game of baseball and everything that he's done. Not just what he's done, but how he's done it. He's the ultimate professional, first-class. Obviously, the greatest relief pitcher ever, but also one of the greatest human beings I've ever had the privilege of being around. It was great. I was on the couch and I felt like standing up and clapping."

We showed some heart in San Francisco…
The lame headlines have to end at some point, but why start now. Believe it or not, this blog is the feed for the Dodgers' Facebook page, too, so we have to make sure it's something remotely exciting, right? I'm assuming you're all Facebook friends of ours by now, but in case you're not…
Also, for those of you so inclined to listen, KABC's DodgerTalk is now being podcast online. It's usually up within 24 hours of the show, so listen in the next day if you're not in Los Angeles or just want to hear Ken and Soosh talk about the team with your fellow fans.
And don't forget, Friday is the sleepover. Have any of you been to this before? It's a pretty cool annual event and this year is even better because we're showing Field of Dreams after the Dodger game (and then you and dad can have a catch on the field, right?)
Here's tonight's lineup:
Furcal, SS
Martin, C
Ethier, RF
Manny, LF
Blake, 3B
Loney, 1B
Kemp, CF
Castro, 2B
Wolf, P

Repost, slightly edited:
Joe Torre as the Dodgers manager has his upsides and downsides. The Downside is that he changes the lineups often, and goes through bullpen arms like Darryl Strawberry used to go through… nevermind.
The upside, though is because of or in spite of him, we've ended up the furthest we have been in the playoffs in a couple of decades. It wasn't Grady, Tracy, Davey or Russell taking us to the NLCS. Also, since we have Manny, he's the perfect manager to have to handle the media situation, after dealing with the NY media and fans for 14 years. It's hard for me to think of a Dodger manager who could've handled the somewhat delicate, blue-ego-crushing situation we have before us (though I could think of a couple of owners who could've handled it better than the current one. Might as well be pushing PEDs on their Dream Foundation fields the way they market him, hurts for me to say it too. But I'd have no problem if they did even one 30-second spot with Manny saying "Don't do drugs, mmmkay? Drugs are bad." Instead of turning him into a toy. Twice.) Sure, Lasorda would've probably had the same tolerance he had for Steve Howe, but that's not handling the problem, that's cutting it off at the bud, and making sure it doesn't grow into something worse that can end up damaging the whole plant. In hindsight, probably a better option, but one that is not an option with the current leadership.
Yet, Joe handles it, in the way that Tom Cable is uniquely qualified to be the Onfield Coordinator… I mean… Head Coach of the Oakland Raiders, hands tied behind his back, under a microscope 24/7, getting key plays called in by the bespeckeled man in the booth. Difference being, Al's won 3 championships, gone 5 times to the Championship game, and over the course of his life revolutionized his sport and the way people view it (Though PED use was much more rampant in the Oakland locker room than in the Dodger clubhouse). Al's gone senile, though he's forgotten more about his team's sport than Frank might ever know about his team's sport. With Torre's knowledge added, I think it's a push.
Joe and Ned want pitching? I think you'd better listen to what the baseball people are telling you, Frank, they've been around long enough to know that teams like this don't fall off trees, especially as the core that's up for arbitration sooner than we'd like to think is watching your every move, considering whether the Dodgers are a place they'd like to spend a lengthy part of their careers playing for. For some, you couldn't blame them if they wanted to leave at this point, let alone if the Owner shows a vote of no confidence in the team, while marketing a bobblehead for the same vacationing player twice, playing Colonel to Manny's Elvis.
Hey Josh,
I love my Dodgers but there are two things I won't do. sleep outside and get a tatoo! I have never gone camping. Not my thing and needles scared the **** out of me. For those that might not know, they were giving away a tatoo on Dodger Talk last Sunday from the owner of Trueblue Tatoo.
Josh – I did notice your entries are the same on facebook. That is very cool. Yes, we did show some heart in San Francisco, and some of were there to witness it.
Let's hope they can get the series tonight. That would be sweet to only have to worry about a sweep tomorrow. I guess tomorrow's game is sold out. My husband tried to get tickets to see the day game with my son. He is their baby, and he sells just on his pitching. To think he is only paid about $600,000 due to a bonus, or else he would be getting the league minimum just like James and Matt.
I am heading home……catch you all later!!!
He, meaning Lincecum – sorry 🙂
Now that I've re-ranted, I want to say thanks, Josh, for letting us know about the Dodger talk podcasts. I always feel left out of the fun here in NorCal.
Nellyjune, I just read your post from 3:31 AM. It sounds like you had a great time. You really gave a great description of not only the game but of the whole day's events. I especially liked the part about seeing the players on the team bus and having them wave at you. After all we give to the players as fans it's nice to get some acknowledgment back from them.
Also it's nice to see how ITD and the love of the Dodgers has brought all these different people together to form new friendships. I've only been blogging on ITD for about a month and a half, and have really enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone better and having people getting to know me.
First Torre want pitching Ned didn't really do his job and now both wanted them now lol

Manny Ramirez was moved from third in the lineup to fourth. "Just to do something different," Torre said, adding that he wanted to move up Russell Martin, who had an on-base percentage of .483 in his last eight games. . . . James Loney sat because a left-hander, Jonathan Sanchez, started for the Giants. Mark Loretta started in Loney's place. . . . Will Ohman, who has been on the disabled list since May 28 because of shoulder and elbow problems, is throwing off a mound.

Does it really matter if a left handed was starting Loney can hit them and Pierre can also but since Torre being a little bit smart not to ever bench Ethier for now Loney doesn't need to be sitting again.

This is not last year when he was hitting .249. This year he's hitting .319.
Urgh didn't see the new thread when I posted that
The Giants have the Panda but we have the Bison! Not to mention, Everyday Dre and Fear the Beard!! GO DODGERS….BEAT THE GIANTS AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!
TBW ~ it is very true that we here on ITD are a family. And, a very unique group to say the least.
Great post NSblues, as usual!
RIP JFK's sister Eunice Kennedy Shriver
NSB ~ I really liked your Lights Out (based on Journey's "Lights") post. Hopefully we can keep the lights out for two more days. I'm still wearing my Brooklyn hat how about you?
Tru, don't forget The Brim Reaper!
Perumike ~ Damn, I forgot about the Brim Reaper! Thanks!!
I didn't want to mention Wussybat and PP………..not very powerful sounding! lol
NS, I agree that Torre is good at managing personalities, but the bp is another story. I'm concerned about what they'll have left for the playoffs. Nelly, I'll have to go back and read your account of the game. Glad you had fun and that they won.
LMAO, Perumike!
Tru, I bet Noodle Arm would strike fear in them!
I was hoping a Boston and NY brawl and got a Boston and Detriot one.
I didn't know you can go on the DL with depression lol. I guess he not over his wife untimly death.
Pirates 1-0 but still early
Pirates and Rox tied… But Rox pitcher looks really shaky!!
Pirates and Rox tied… But Rox pitcher looks really shaky!!
Pirates and Rox tied… But Rox pitcher looks really shaky!!
2-1 Bucs….. runner on 3rd 2 outs
Rox pulling their pitcher… guy can't hit the broad side of a barn right now!!!
Delwyn Young coming through for us!!! That a boy Peewee!!! 2 run triple!! Pirates 4- Rockies 1!!
base hit!! 5-1 Pirates!! This could be a good night!
Boys the Rockies look bad tonight!! They're making mistakes all over the place
It's pretty sad… The Rox are having a great second half.. They're right in the thick of the wild card race and There's NO ONE at their game!
I posted on the wrong thread 🙂
northstateblues – The guy wasn't right behind me but he might has well have been. Instead of cheering on his team, he had some made up phrase for every one of our players, the worst, of course, being about Manny. His specific phrase was "Manny……………you are the father of my twins", which in and of itself was not so bad, but his real kids were sitting next to him (grade school age), and they were saying the same thing. All I kept thinking is "I feel sorry for whoever is going to be their teacher this year." I understand the cheering for your own team, telling us we suck, the "Beat LA" chant, and heckling, but I think that particular comment said by a kid was just disturbing, especially when the kid is not even old enough to have his own kids yet.
truebluewill – Thanks truebluewill. Seeing the bus leave back to the hotel was a nice nightcap to a very fun day/evening. We have Collie to thank for taking us to that spot. …..And yes, we are a pretty fun group, and thanks for sticking around to find out what it's like on a daily basis. Some of us worry sometimes that if a new reader were to read ITD today, what they must be thinking, but I think if you read a while and get to know the personalities, it becomes pretty clear, we are all here for the same reason……………….Dodger baseball. It only takes a few posts to make yourself known around here, and you have done a wonderful job in doing that. It is a pleasure reading what you have to say.
Hey Nelly… Let's go Pirates!
Just heard that Weaver will start tomorrow. Going to be a BP game and they called up a knuckleballer from AAA. I really worry about knuckleball pitchers…..and the ability of the catcher to hold on to the ball.
trublu… A knuckleballer? Who in the world would that be!?!?? And for WHO!?!? Hopefully not for O-Dawg or Billz!!
The pitcher called up is Charlie Haeger.
Did they say for who?
Brandon ~ I don't know who was sent down or if anybody was placed on DL. They just did an interview on the Giants pre-game and thats where I heard about the pitcher.
He's taking Eric Stults spot… That's interesting
I just saw it on the latimes blog
Thanks, Brandon.
Howzit Goin' Everybody.
Right now the Pirates are goin' pretty good, let's hope they keep goin'.
At least the Dodger BAs are O.K., all 8 regular position players are batting over the 260 mark.
If you add JP, that makes nine.
What do we have here, Joe Martinez, I wonder what he's got to show us, tonight
Make them pay for that ibb Blake
Sounds like you had fun, Nelly, but too bad Andre didn't get a hit or two.
Hello is anybody here?
Wow Martin finally got a bunt down.
Oldbrooklynfan ~ I was wondering the same thing! lol
Bochy is teaching Torre a valuable but simple lesson: he doesn't mind pitching to Casey Blake. Let Kemp protect Manny.
I thought everyone went someplace else.
Typical Wolf game. Walks kill him every time.
Wasted opporunities for the Dodgers so far They're lucky to be behind by only 1.
BCG ~ we will get them next time through the order! GO DODGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!
After 113 games, I'm still trying to figure out what Joe's strategy is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What does it take to get risp into runs?????????????????
Joe's as worthless as teats on a rattlesnake
Nice pitch Randy. Right where he likes them.
Where did all the cows go????
There we go… Break through inning here!!
Wow what a played but thanks for the gift.
Thatta Boy!!! You could feel that getting ready to happen!!
Everyday Dre strike again
The MAILMAN delivers AGAIN.
We should get Andre home with noone out
Nelly and trublu, would have been nice if Andre could have doubled twice last night, but if they get two wins in a row against the Giants, it's all good.
TrueBlueWill: Got in the car after getting off work again. Heard the Giants get the first run… again. Had to go to the store… again. Listened to the game on the radio… again. Raced inside the house, and threw on my lucky Brooklyn hat… again. Turned on the TV, and saw the Dodgers took a 2-1 lead, and is now 4-1… again!
Eerie, yes, but I wouldn't mind a little improvement for the Dodgers on the score tonight.
And because Kruk and Kuip are calling the game up here in NorCal tonight… I'm listening to the game in Spanish. I'll understand 60%-75%, but light years better than the other choice.
JoePierre, have your LA hat on?
Break on thru to the other side!! Nice job boys!! Keep em comin!!
Got a little excited! lol
Permission to enter the jungle?
See, I told you they would score!
where's the song!?!? where's the song!?!? It's been far too long!! I want to hear the oscyar Mayer Loney song!!
Hi, dodgereric!
Yes L O N E Y
Go ahead Eric
I think that error should've been charged to Martinez, it look like a bad throw to second.
Have to love to shut that crowd up.
Hey, dodgereric. How are you?
Alright, Wolf, no excuses now. Pitch with the heart that Kuroda displayed last night.
Come on!! He's coming out of a slump!! We can't get the Loney song!?!? My Loney has a first name!!
Alright, Rox losing, Gnats losing! Let's do this!!!
OK now Randy, a 2 run lead is your que to hold them.
Let have a 1 2 3 innings
Okay so I'm posting @ 8:53 and my posts are showing up way earlier… So what's the point!!!!
Hold that lead Wolf, like Kuroda last night.
Shut them down. Zero runs now.
My Loney has a first name,
It's J-A-M-E-S
My Loney has a second name,
It's L-O-N-E-Y
I love to watch him every day
And if you ask me why I'll say
'Cause James Loney has a way
With H-I-T-T-I-N-G!
I guess it was too much to ask you.
Now way later… this is impossible!!!!
Hi, Collie ~ how are you today? Thanks to you and Margaret for being great hosts yesterday.
There we go!! Nice dodgereric!
My Loney has a first name, it's J-A-M-E-S
My Loney has a second name, it's L-O-N-E-Y
I like to watch him EVERY DAY
And if you ask me why, I'll say
"'Cause James Loney has a way
with H-I-T-T-I-N-G!
– by leekfink and martinloneykemp/lny4loney
Nice inning Wolf
Now, let's get some more runs!
Okay so I got home late as usual and my thoughts were lead off walk and a run scored & that we hadn't done well with RISP.
Well that has changed in the last few minutes so my blood pressure is down…
I know that Roberto is there tonight in the Bleachers. So hang tough Roberto. They can be tough there and really try to instigate fights.
That's the way to do it.
The warp is placing my posts all over the Space-Time Continuum. If you read my post dated 8:50pm, you'll read about the new adventures of my lucky Brooklyn hat, which is spooky in how it happens, but no complaints.
HA! I was about to remedy my error by crediting The Loney Song to leekfink and MLK only to have north beat me to it!
Collie ~ we are going to stay over the next time we come to SF. At the special hotel, of course!
Good to see Wolf shut them down after we scored.
Hello there Tru! No problem. It was so much fun hanging out with you guys. Sorry if I was a little hyper. I was just excited to go to a game there with Dodger fans. I'm usually there with Giants fans and try to be respectful. So I was just excited to be with you guys after rooting on here for so long.
I see you guys got home late. Sorry to keep you there late but I think it was worth it. Next time you all will have to stay the night and go to a couple of games. Maybe we can all get rooms at their hotel. But shhh. Don't let the cat out of the bag!
D4 — I posted something up above for you…
Hows the leg? D4 took one for the team last night. A guy threw a beer bottle and hit him in the leg.
I call it the Giants fan way of buying a drink!
I think James is out of his slump…………FANTASTIC!!!!
Pirates beat former manager…..
It is good to see him going further into a game, truebluewill.
haahah glad Molina was running
NSB— I saw your post & story — NICE!!!
Wish you could of made it to the game last night. You were missed!!
I said some other things in a prior post but submission errors and 10 minutes later it is somewhere in the Mother Ship!
I want more runs on that #1 bullpen
Sucks to be a Giant fan the last two nights I bet. Imagine their disappointment……… BOO FRIGGIN' HOO!
NS ~ Just read about your Bklyn. hat. Glad to hear it still has it's magic. As long as we keep wining I'll keep wearing.
HA!!!! Not much else to say other than that!
I made outs, like the one Bengie just made many times.
Good to know the ROX lost.
LMAO, Perumike and Brandon!!!!!!!
Dang Castro could had a triple
If things hold up (they should, shouldn't they????), the Dodgers can relax a bit against Lincecum and get out the brooms. If things hold up (they should, shouldn't they????), these past two games will go a long way toward getting the Dodgers' swagger back. Manny starting to hit again doesn't hurt, either……
MANNYWOOD Just happend in SF!! NICE!!
Manny and Andre getting it done. Oldbrooklynfan, Vin was saying that after all the years of catching it's like running uphill to first for Molina.
Do you mean no decision ice Wolf lol
So, it's looking like we just needed to get back into playing the NL west!! Looking good tonight!
I love that TBW!
I wish I could be hearing him now!!!
Matt really crushed that one. It's good to see the offense back.
Matty, ride the Panda around the bases!
you can have your panda!!! I'll keep our BISON BABY!!
(channeling Journey as I look into the sky and see Bison's homer exit stage CF) OOOOOOO-WOOOOOO-OOOOO… Why so blue?
That MARVELOUS MATTY.
Bochy, losing 9-1, decides to ice Wolf.
First MANNY!!!!!! Now MATTY!!!!! Stick a fork in the Gnats. They are done tonight. As Vin just said hang up the phone at AT&T the Gnats dialed a wrong number!
Let's get another 1 2 3 innings.
Save the bullpen for tomorrow, Joe.
good point crash
Both Ethier and Kemp have 75 RBI
If Randy doesn't win tonight, I'll kill him.
Wolf is at 91 pitches. What are chances of him getting a CG?
probably pretty good if he has a low pitch count 8th truebluewill
I would say good too, except with how conservative Torre is in that regard, you never know.
Charlie Steiner and Rick Monday banter (don't remember who said what) : You know how you can tell it's the 8th? The Seagulls are shuffling about, yeah, they're getting hungry… (definitely Charlie said this) Yeah, HEH-HEEEEH, Just like Heh-heh-heeeh, just like the bullpen!
Some of the most interesting stuff ever said during baseball broadcasts happens in the late innings of a blowout.
Dang no need for that one Wolf
He'll at least get the chance to finish it
Urgh I guess no Wolf in the 9th
McDonald would be in
Testing….it is 9:54 pacific time. Want to see where this shows up on the blog.
With Torre, the complete game has become about as obsolete as a typewriter.
With Weaver starting tomorrow, all our relievers need to be rested tonight.
You are right Bluecrewgirl!
103 pitches for Wolf. MacDonald warming that looks like it for Wolf. If it was me I'd let him finish the game but that's not how the game is played now.
Let's just see if Wolf do come back out
Yeah I was right
Damn I want that bday boy Panda 0/4.
The problem with this is… If JMac gets in trouble.. then we use another reliver to take care of it for him. If we start with Wolf and he gets in trouble… then you bring in jmac
I'd like to see Big Mac show some of that "uncle charlie" curve of his.
Or the Dodgers whoop some Gnat ***!! Nice game boys!! Let's pull off the upset tomorrow and get the SWEEP!!
Okay, my bad. Wolf's next pitching performance is next Monday, while McDonald may be needed tomorrow. So, who should pitch the ninth inning? Oh, let's ask Joe: well, Randy's already over his limit, so let's throw McDonald.
BEATen by LA BEATen by LA BEATen by LA BEATen by LA
WTG Dodgers!!!! We did what we had to do, at least win the series. Wouldn't a sweep be sweet! Good night all, I have to get up for work in 4 hours. The lack of sleep is well the win.
Great performance by Wolf and the entire team. I feel a lot better than I did on Sunday.
oldbrooklynfan ~ I like that chant!
Fantastic, Oldbrooklynfan!
Wow espn.com is dumb look at this. They think we still have Ozuna in our organization.
· Orlando Hudson 2b – Aug 11: Day-To-Day
· Chad Billingsley sp – Aug 10: Day-To-Day
· Pablo Ozuna 2b – Aug 8: Suspension
· Jason Schmidt sp – Aug 7: 15-Day DL
· Freddy Sanchez 2b – Aug 11: Day-To-Day
· Aaron Rowand cf – Aug 11: Day-To-Day
Me as well Joe!
I think I might steal that!
In case you missed it D4 — the below is for you…
Nelly – Tru — D4 — Some shots of our game last night…
Thanks, Collie!
Rumor has it Nelly cheered for Juan last night!!!
Good Evening ITD readers and writers!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow!!! Obviously I wasn't home, and it was probably a good thing, considering screaming for my team like I did last night may not have been the wisest choice here. ……….but now that I am home and in the safe environment of ITD, I can now scream………………………..ALRIGHT DODGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!WAY TO GO BOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RAFFY, RUSSELL, ANDRE, MANNY, CASEY, JAMES, MATTY, JUAN, AND RANDY- JUST AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Collie!!!! How are you doing tonight? Thank you for being a fabulous host. I think it was seeing them off to their hotel last night gave them the motivation to smash the gnats tonight. That was definitely one of the many highlights of the evening. I am still so very impressed how many Dodger fans were there last night. It was a great feeling.
I did cheer for JP, loud and proud too. "WooooooooooooooooHooooooooooooooo GO JUAN PIERRE!!!!!!!!!!!! At that point I wanted to be as annoying as possible to the gnat fans around us (hubby excluded, of course) so I was really yelling for everyone in that manner, but I gave a special shout out to JP since he actually came in at the right time last night. My husband did relay that message onto my daughter, and she was especially proud of me.
Collie – That clubhouse photo has a nice shot of Andre's head – LOL!!!! Actually, the photos of warm-ups, I remember that stuff happening, especially the one where Andre, Matt, O-Dog and JP are seemingly having a good time stretching. Also, I remember Andre signing autographs. He spent alot of time signing in which I was very impressed.
Collie – good picture of Morton's salt – LOL!!!!
Has anyone talked about this? If the playoffs started today, we'd be facing the FREAKIN St. Louis Cardinals in the DS. Besides rooting for the Dodgers, how about rooting for a Central/East team to win the Wild Card? That way, we'd only have to face either the Phillies OR the Cardinals in the NLCS. Not that I don't have faith in our team, but I'd rather not face St. Louis or Philly in a DS. Here's to Florida/Chicago overtaking the Rox/Giants for the Wild Card.
nelly- don't let up on them
Tough match up for Weaver, but he's stepped up for us before: SWEEP! SWEEP! SWEEP!
KS – to be the best you've got to beat the best. Fear no one.
Good Morning ITD readers and writers!!!!!!!!!!!! Boy, listening to Bay Area sports radio this morning (KNBR), you would think the gnats got their butts kicked last night………………………………………………..WAIT!!!!!!! THEY DID!!!!!! LMAO!!!! All of their callers are calling in saying to not let Dodger fans into the surrounding bars and eateries in the AT&T Park area. Also, they are using the Star Wars theme today, thinking that Lincecum is their only hope for a win today. I think the Dodgers need to find their brooms. They just might need them to SWEEP today. A sweep would be mighty, mighty sweet today.
Good Morning Brownpaperbag!!!! It's good to see you around these parts again.
knouffbrock – All I had to do to my son is smile, and he knows exactly why I am smiling. I did the same thing to our custodian as I drove in the school parking lot today.
tru – Is the game on tv up here today?
NellyJune ~ game is on TV…..pregame 12:30 and then our boys can sweep the Giants away!!!!!!!!!
A game that we should had gave Lincecum a lost and all this Blake/Wilson feud.
That was last time Lincecum and Weaver face each other.
That when the bad Mota had an ERA over 7+
Another game that Mota used to suck lol.
Got a cheap win against us if are bullpen didn't blow it another lost for him against us.
Than another cheap win.
It just to bad Timmy is 3-0 in his career against us when he could been the other way around.
NELLY – TRU – ERIC – COLLIE – NS – you must be loved by your surroundings…feels good to be a Dodger Fan!
If Charlie Haeger (the knuckleballer) is slated to be the long reliever behind Weaver today, who will be catching? I'm guessing that Ausmus will start, partly due to the day game following a night game, and partly due to the difficulties of catching (or blocking) the knuckleball.
And mostly due to Martin not being able to hit the broad side of a barn from inside with the barn door closed.
Here is a marketing no-brainer.

What to do in Kolkata
Kolkata is a city in India that will both charm and surprise you. It combines both India and England into one, with classic temples and colonial-era architecture. Being the country's intellectual and spiritual capital, Kolkata is where you need to travel for reflection, solo adventures, and incredible cultural experiences.
Enjoy a stroll along Chowringhee Road and uncover the beauty of Kolkata. Look across the road and you'll see the lush parkland of Maidan. It's a fantastic place to observe the local way of life and the Kolkata skyline.
Bring your camera and take pictures of the incredible Victoria Memorial Hall. Go hunt for more awesome architecture in the city and check out St Paul's Cathedral, Nakhoda Mosque, and the Japanese Buddhist Temple.
Turn your hunt into an exciting temple run and visit Kalighat Temple, Parsi Fire Temples, Dakshineswar Kali Temple, and the breathtaking Pareshnath Jain Temple. And if you travelled to Kolkata for Mother Teresa, stop by the Motherhouse.
Can't get enough of Kolkata's culture? Spend hours exploring the Indian Museum, Birla Children's Museum, State Archaeological Museum, and Gurusaday Museum. You can also catch a show at the Nandan Theatre.
Join the city's best events to experience Kolkatta like a true local. Watch a game of cricket at Eden Gardens from April to May. Find Indian literature and more at the International Kolkata Bookfair.
Bring home a piece of Kolkata and go shopping at the New Market, Gariahat Market, and Dakshinapan Shopping Centre. Then complete your Kolkata trip with a boat cruise under the starlit sky at river bank of Hooghly and an incredible view of Outram Ghat.
