Jim, wasn't quite sure, but I hope all those dangerous cleaners you have around the house are up very high, and not under the sink??? I would NOT trust a 2 year old to understand how deadly those products could be , no matter how smart she is. Never underestimate what a 2 year old can do. When I was that age, I used to try and get out of the apartment we lived in. So my Dad put a lock up about 5 feet up on the door. So, one morning, I pushed a chair up to the door, got on it, unlocked the door, and left to explore the neighborhood! Fortunately a neighbor spotted me not too far from home. Oh, and to get me to wearing diapers, my parents told me that Goldilocks always used the potty, and for some unknown reason that worked. Perhaps I didn't want some little girl to be better than me, plus I was 12 at the time.... Kevin's advice sounds pretty darn good about taking a favorite toy away when she is bad. Of course if all else fails, there is always spanking!

I just can't get over the Cards collapsing like they have. At this point they don't deserve to get in, IMO. Cards have no pitching, LaRussa was badmouthing Edmonds for not playing sooner(He has post-concussion syndrome), just a bad scene.

Oh yeah, the Clip.... BEATING AROUND THE BUSH - BON`S LAST TV APPEARANCE

I see a few rock related links on the main youtube.com thread, but I was wanting to post an Bon Scott era tune I thought was pretty cool, and just didn't feel it belonged on the other thread. Might be a good way for people mentioning an up and coming rock artist as well....If no need, just merge this mutha!

Did they?? I just saw the highlights of the game, looks like Ultey hit a 3 run homer, hitting a ball off the fair/foul pole, but it was called a foul ball. Would hate to see a team bounced from the playoffs on a play like that.

Biblical-style flood tore Britain from France Jonathan Leake September 25, 2006 SCIENTISTS have found that Britain owes its island status to a catastrophic flood that swept away in less than 24 hours the hills that once joined the land mass to France. The flood, which took place between 400,000 and 200,000 years ago, instantly turned Britain from being a peninsula of continental Europe into a separate entity, changing forever the way it would develop. The finding has emerged from an advanced sonar survey of the sea bed of the English Channel that revealed huge scour marks, deep bowls and piles of rock that could have been created only by a giant torrent of water. If confirmed, it will force an important revision of British prehistory. It had been thought the Channel had formed by slow erosion combined with rises in sea level that took place over millions of years, rather than by a sudden, biblical-style catastrophe. "This could have been one of the most powerful flood events ever known on earth," said Chris Stringer, head of human origins at the Natural History Museum in London. "It would have cut through the chalk hills joining Britain to Europe and created a Niagara-style waterfall 300ft (91.5m) to 400ft high." Professor Stringer has been overseeing the Ancient Human Occupation of Britain project, which brought together researchers from a range of disciplines to trace how Britain first became populated. Among the researchers were a team from Imperial College, in London, led by Sanjeev Gupta, who used sonar to survey the sea floor several kilometres off the Sussex coast. The equipment is able to see through thick layers of sediment to the sea bed lying beneath. The team was surprised to find the remains of a huge valley, partly hidden by accumulated mud, running southwest from the Strait of Dover. "In places this huge, underwater valley is more than seven miles (11km) wide and 170ft deep, with vertical sides. Its nearest geological parallels are found not on earth but in the monumental flood terrains of the planet Mars," Dr Gupta said in an abstract published at an academic conference. "This suggests the valley was created by catastrophic flood-flows following the breaching of the Dover Strait and the sudden release of water from a giant lake to the north." In the scenario, there was a high chalk ridge linking Britain and France running roughly between Dover and Calais. Northeast of this ridge the land sloped down until it met the North Sea, which was much smaller then and was bordered by a shoreline that ran from Norfolk to northern Germany. Several European rivers, including the Rhine, Seine and Thames, ran northwards to this shore, emptying into the sea. Between 400,000 and 100,000 years ago, northern Europe suffered repeated glaciations. During one of these, an ice cap up to 1.6km thick reached so far south it stretched from Scotland to Denmark, damming the North Sea. This turned it into a freshwater lake that, fed by rivers, deepened over thousands of years. "The lake would have been hundreds of feet above then sea level," Professor Stringer said. "One day it just overflowed the top of the chalk ridge and started pouring over. Once the torrent started it would have ripped through the chalk and poured down towards the Atlantic." Global sea levels were far lower then than now because so much water was locked up in the ice caps. This meant that Britain was joined to France all the way along its south coast - and the cascading water had to carve its way across the landscape. The discovery of the Channel flood may help to solve one of the enduring mysteries of British archeology - the apparent abandonment of the British Isles by humans for 120,000 years. Researchers have found that humans first arrived in Britain at least 700,000 years ago. They were driven out by repeated glaciations but returned whenever the land warmed up. They vanished completely between 180,000 and 60,000 years ago. The Sunday Times

Jim, you will probably here from some of the other old folks like myself. No way you should have confronted these punks, mid teens or not. Those Duquesne University basketball players were shot by teenagers. The punks in your neighborhood could have just grabbed a gun from some house or car. If you didn't have a young wife or baby...no, you still shouldn't have confronted them, just call the police.(Man, I must be channeling my Mom!) Hopefully, they will stay away from your block from now on, but the close-circuit camera idea isn't so bad.

It seems to me Lucas could do more good with that kind of money than build a nicer film school...... George Lucas Donates USC's Largest Single Gift By Stuart Silverstein, Times Staff Writer 4:20 PM PDT, September 19, 2006 "Star Wars" creator George Lucas, through a foundation, plans to make a blockbuster donation to USC of $175 million — the university's biggest single gift ever — to build a new home for its prestigious film school. The landmark gift from the Lucasfilm Foundation builds on Hollywood's historical support for the film school, which was established in 1929 as a collaboration between USC and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The new 137,000-square-foot facility, along with modernizing and expanding the film school's cramped facilities, is believed to be intended to merge Hollywood storytelling skills with emerging digital technologies. University officials, who have worked quietly on the project in recent months, announced the gift this afternoon. Earlier in the day, in a separate ceremony, Lucas was named the grand marshal of the Rose Parade in Pasadena. A formal groundbreaking for the new facility is planned for Oct. 4. "I discovered my passion for film and making movies when I was a student at USC in the 1960s, and my experiences there shaped the rest of my career," Lucas said in a statement. "I'm also an ardent advocate for education at all levels and encouraging young people to pursue their ambitions by learning. I'm very fortunate to be in a position to combine my two passions and to be able to help USC continue molding the futures of the moviemakers of tomorrow." In one behind-the-scenes move this spring, USC officials altered the university's bylaws partly to clear the way for the formal name of the film school to be changed. It will be revised from the USC School of Cinema-Television to the School of Cinematic Arts — a switch possibly intended to accommodate the institution's growing focus on newer entertainment technologies. USC tipped its hand in recent days by sending ground-breaking ceremony invitations — albeit ones that kept the donor's name secret — to civic leaders, university officials and professors. The invitation credits USC with "a long and proud history of inspiring and teaching the artists, scholars and entrepreneurs who shape film, television and interactive media in the 20th century. This fall, we invite you to join us in carrying that tradition through the 21st century as we celebrate and break ground on our 137,000-square-foot state-of-the-art complex, made possible through the largest gift ever" to the university. USC's previous top gift, $120 million, came in 1993 from the late ambassador Walter Annenberg. The record for U.S. higher education overall was a gift totaling $600 million to Caltech in 2001, with half of the money from Intel Corp. co-founder Gordon Moore and his wife, Betty, and the rest coming from their foundation. Still, the Lucas donation is another in a series of fund-raising coups for the university administration under President Steven B. Sample. USC in 2003 wrapped up a 9½-year fundraising campaign that collected $2.85 billion in gifts and pledges — the biggest ever for an American university, until UCLA announced in February that it collected $3.05 billion in its 10½-year campaign. Donations and pledges have continued to flow into USC in the last three years, totaling $4.2 billion since Sample arrived at USC in 1991. http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-09190...ewed-storylevel

Just caught the top of the Sportscenter broadcast .... amazing. Too bad both those teams suck and one will lose to the Mets and the other will lose to the Cards. Dan, don't you think that both those teams have better pitching than the Mets and Cards??? I mean if Pedro doesn't get it together, no way Glavine's soft stuff away will fool anybody in the playoffs, it rarely has in the past...and who do the Cards have after Carpenter??? Still, it doesn't matter, an AL team will win it all...

Kin Reunited 65 Years After Holocaust By ARON HELLER The Associated Press Monday, September 18, 2006; 5:46 PM JERUSALEM -- Hilda Shlick thought she lost nearly all her family in the Holocaust _ until her Internet-savvy grandsons located her 81-year-old brother in Canada. "After 65 years, I have found the sister who I love," Simon Glasberg said Monday in heavily accented English, his eyes filling with tears. "I can't stop kissing her." Simon Glasberg, 81, of Ottawa, Canada, left, hugs his sister Hilda Shlick, 75, from Ashdod, Israel, during their meeting at the Yad Vashem Holocaust museum in Jerusalem, Monday Sept. 18, 2006. The two siblings have been reunited after 65 years thanks to Hilda's grandchildrens' search in recent months of a database of Holocaust victims' names. Hebrew in background reads "The database of victims' names." (AP Photo/Emilio Morenatti) (Emilio Morenatti - AP) Using the database of Holocaust victims at Yad Vashem, Israel's Holocaust memorial, two of Shlick's grandchildren, Benny and David, began unearthing a mystery spanning six decades and three continents. While improved technology in recent years has made the task of tracking Holocaust survivors easier, fewer and fewer survivors remain as each year passes. Scanning the database, the grandsons, both in their 20s, discovered an entry erroneously stating their grandmother had perished half a century earlier. That entry led them to other surviving relatives, who eventually brought about the siblings' emotional reunion Friday. When Glasberg, who lives near Ottawa, Canada, saw his gray-haired little sister for the first time, he recognized her immediately, he said. "I felt I couldn't talk. I just cried," he said. "You don't understand, 65 years ..." His voice trailed off. Shlick, 75, said she too was overwhelmed by the discovery. "For 65 years, I lived thinking I had no family besides one sister," she said. Since Friday's reunion, the family bond has clearly been re-established, with the two elderly siblings playfully joking and reminiscing in a hearty mixture of Russian and Yiddish. Their large families have quickly become close. The last time the two saw each other was in 1941, when the Glasberg family of Chernowitz, Romania, was separated after the Nazis invaded. Hilda, then 10, escaped to Uzbekistan with her older sister Bertha. The rest of the family _ parents Henia and Benzion, and brothers Simon, Mark, Karol and Eddie _ stayed in Romania, finding refuge in a basement. The fate of one sister, Pepi, remains unknown. She disappeared and is presumed to have been killed by the Nazis. Glasberg, his brothers and parents emigrated to Canada after the war ended. Shlick and her sister moved to Estonia, where Bertha died in 1970. In 1998, Shlick immigrated to Israel. During a family conversation this summer, her grandsons learned her maiden name was Glasberg, and they began to investigate her past.

Tag This Article They logged onto the Yad Vashem Web site and found a page of testimony submitted in 1999 by her brother Karol, of Montreal, who wrote about his sister Hilda, who "perished in the Shoah." Karol died that same year, but further searches through the Web site of the Montreal Burial Society and online forums of survivors of Chernowitz, Shlick's grandsons were able to track down his son, who filled in the picture of what happened to the divided family. Shlick's parents died in the 1980s in Montreal, living well into their 90s, as did her brother Eddie, who died in 2004. Mark Glasberg lives in Ottawa, but was too ill to travel to Israel to meet his sister. His son Irving, however, lives in Israel, just half an hour away from his missing relatives. The new extended family will share the Jewish New Year together this weekend, catching up on a half-century of history. Shlick said she plans to travel to Canada soon to see her other relatives and visit the graves of the parents she lost as a child. Yad Vashem director Avner Shalev said the story should encourage Jews from around the world to check the database for their relatives' names and to submit pages of testimony for those who have been lost. The database contains some 3 million names of Holocaust victims and has been visited by 10 million people since it went online in 2004. Yad Vashem spokeswoman Estee Yaari said this was only the second known case of living siblings discovering each other through the database. Last June, two sisters who had survived the Holocaust and moved separately to Israel were reunited after 61 years. Glasberg, though thrilled to find his sister, said the reunion was bittersweet because of all the years the family was divided. "My poor parents, they always said, 'We wish we would find all our kids'" he said. "It is such a tragedy, but now I am so happy." http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/conte...6091800686.html

Cocaine drink emulates illegal namesake LAS VEGAS, Sept. 17 (UPI) -- The new energy drink Cocaine from Las Vegas' Redux Beverages is being designated by the company as "the legal alternative" to its illegal namesake. The company and the drink's inventor, Jamey Kirby, claim the new drink will offer those drinking it both a physical high from increased vitamin B12 and sugars, along with a psychological high from the product's shocking name, said the New York Post. "When a person sees the name of the drink, some psychological effect happens and the person is already experiencing the energy buzz before they even open the can," said Kirby. "I can think of no other product except real cocaine that could have that effect on the public," he added. The paper said Kirby confessed that a throat-numbing ingredient was added to the drink to emulate its namesake. The drink -- like its illegal counterpart -- will be marketed to partiers. http://www.upi.com/NewsTrack/view.php?Stor...17-060812-5969r

Thursday, September 14, 2006 · Last updated 4:38 p.m. PT E. coli outbreak brings spinach warning By ANDREW BRIDGES ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER WASHINGTON -- An outbreak of E. coli in eight states has left at least one person dead and 50 others sick, federal health officials said Thursday in warning consumers not to eat bagged fresh spinach. The outbreak of the sometimes deadly bug killed one person in Wisconsin, said Dr. David Acheson, of the Food and Drug Administration's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition. The outbreak has sickened people - eight of them seriously - in Connecticut, Idaho, Indiana, Michigan, New Mexico, Oregon and Utah as well. FDA officials do not know the source of the outbreak, other than it appears to be linked to bagged spinach. "We're advising people not to eat it," Acheson said. http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/national/115...ed_Spinach.html
