[Mets Geek] Mets Bloggers Roundtable: He isn’t a manager of absolutes. He is flexible, patient and willing to take chances even if they go against the dreaded conventional wisdom of baseball. He has been steady and his character as a leader is evidenced in the fact that despite several moments already in this season where you might have reasonably expected the Mets to begin their traditional fold, they have resurrected themselves as heroes again, over and over. He learnt well from Joe Torre and exhibits the same patient tendencies.
[Paul's World] Photo Album: Wedding & Honeymoon: added yet. IMG Blog IMG June 05Next Stop - The Member/Member Championship Quick... than I did yesterday. I shot a 79 but more importantly I hit more quality shots compared to previous... the ball OK - not very long but mostly in control. This is a good round to have under my belt before
[CAPblog] Notes From the Recent NEC Meeting: Wait a minute. Is this the old "We are, but we aren't" thing rearing its uglyhead again? I've seen this a lot since 1994: The dueling positions of"We're a private corporation!" and "We're part of the Air Force!" usedwhen it suits the Corporation's needs. The Air Force attempts toexercise control over CAP, CAP counters with "We're a privatenon-profit corporation!" The Air Force says "OK, Mr. PrivateNon-Profit Corporation, now we're going to regard this(gliders, non-AF directed SAR flying, etc. Pick one) as 'corporatemissions,' so you guys are on your own here." and CAP comes back with"But we're part of the Air Force!!"

[Blogs.msdn.com] canthe's WebLog: Microsoft has in previous years actively supported the bill by sending a letter of support, but this year took no action.</P> <P>A seemingly minor issue, until local weekly rag <A href="http://www.thestranger.com">The Stanger </A>reported that Microsoft <A href="http://www.thestranger.com/2005-04-21/feature.html">changed its position after a meeting with a conservative Christian pastor</A> on the Eastside (aka the suburbs, also where MSFT is located in Redmond). Supposedly the pastor threatened Microsoft with a national boycott of Microsoft products unless Microsoft took a variety of actions, including a.) withdrawing its support b.) firing employees who testified in Olympia in support of the bill (as individuals) and c.) God only knows what else. </P> <P>The issue got national attention, with an article in the New York Times and, more importantly, a <A href="http://www.comedycentral.com/tv_shows/thedailyshowwithjonstewart/videos_corr.jhtml?p=stewart">satirical mention </A>on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart (which had me laughing on the floor - click on "Gaywatch").</P> <P>MSFT CEO Steve Ballmer (SteveB to us) sent a company wide e-mail last week explaining Microsoft's versions of events (very different) and saying that while he personally supports the bill, as a company MSFT made a decision to focus our lobbying efforts on other issues, but if you look at our company policies against discrimination on this very issue, we've led the industry for years.</P> <P>The Stranger has followed up its stellar reporting this week with the pastor saying that Steve's version is bull, and taking credit for scaring the big, bad Microsoft into changing its position.</P> <P> </P> <P>OK, so why am I repeating all this? Because however you feel about the bill/issue, (and I personally support it 100%), the whole idea that some local podunk pastor could scare Microsoft with a boycott is the most <U>ridiculous, inane argument ever</U>.
[All-baseball.com] Will Carroll Presents...: Well, it’s that time of the year again, the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue is out and here come the annual flood of letters from angry Mothers like “I didn’t purchase this magazine for my son so he could look at such depravity. Cancel my subscription.” OK, it’s time to stop with the letters ladies, SI has been doing a swimsuit issue for 41 years. Listen Mommies, if you don’t know the magazine features scantily-clad models on a yearly basis, then you should not only be forced to keep the subscription, you should be forced to slide it under the bathroom door to your 13 year-old son, with a bottle of Jurgens.
[Decatursports.com] On The Touchlines - DecaturSports.com - Archives of the al.com Weblog: When Briarwood Christian faced off against Huntsville in the 5A Girls Championship game, Arrington Mooney became Alabama High School’s equivalent of Iron-Man Cal Ripken, Jr. as she made her 123rd consecutive start for Briarwood dating back to her eighth grade year. That's almost 25 games a year and includes playing a lot of games when sick or injured.
[Wylie.blogspot.com] WylieBlog: By now, all Sooner fans are aware that OU super-frosh Adrian Peterson goes by the moniker 'AD' ('All Day'). But after seeing a preview Tuesday of the new movie Friday Night Lights, I feel a new nickname could become popular in the weeks to come - Boobie. Boobie is the iconic star running back that is going to lead Odessa Permian to the Texas State Championship, and Peterson is the iconic star running back that is going to lead OU to the Texas State Championship (Houston, Texas Tech, Texas, Texas A&M, Baylor)
