She became the second female U.S. Supreme Court justice in 1993.
She lived her beliefs, unafraid to voice them on women's legal rights, justice, LGBTQ+ rights, marriage, racial inequality.
Tiny, mighty Ruth Bader Ginsburg used talent to 'repair tears in society' Back to video
Her Supreme Court dissents and writings reshaped the justice system.
She shattered many glass ceilings and never shied away from uttering controversial comments, both in and out of the courtroom.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg was affectionately known as RBG, more powerful than an RPG.
Her dying wish: "to be not replaced (on the Supreme Court) until a new president is installed".
Other quotes:
"Dissents speak to a future age so the dissenter's hope is that they are writing not for today, but for tomorrow."
"Fight for the things you care about it in a way that will lead others to join you."
"Women will have achieved true equality when men share with them the responsibility of bringing up the next generation."
"Women belong in all places where decisions are being made instead of the exception."
"I ask no favour for my sex. All I ask of our brethren is that they take their feet off our necks."
"When will there be enough women on the court? When there are nine. Nobody's ever raised a question about nine men on the Court."
"Think back to 1787. Who were 'we the people'? They certainly weren't women, they weren't people held in human bondage."
"Real change, enduring change, happens one step at a time."
"Reacting in anger or annoyance will not advance one's ability to persuade. Don't be distracted by emotions like anger, envy, resentment."
"I'm a very strong believer in listening and learning from others."
"A gender line keeps women not on a pedestal, but in a cage."
"If you have a caring life partner, you help the other person when that person needs it. I had a life partner who thought my work was as important as his, and I think that made all the difference for me."
"You can disagree without being disagreeable."
"Justices continue to think and can change. I am ever hopeful that if the court has a blind spot today, its eyes will be open tomorrow."
"My idea of how choice should have developed was not a privacy notion, not a doctor's right notion, but a woman's right to control her own destiny, to be able to make choices without a Big Brother state telling her what she can and cannot do."
"Yet what greater defeat could we suffer than to come to resemble the forces we oppose in their disrespect for human dignity?"
"I try to teach through my opinions, through my speeches, how wrong it is to judge people on the basis of what they look like, color of their skin, whether they're men or women."
"I've gotten much more satisfaction for the things that I've done for which I was not paid."
"If you are a true professional, you will do something for those less fortunate than you."
She would like to be remembered as someone who used her talent to repair tears in society, to make things a little better.

Students and staff at the College of William and Mary campaign for higher wages for housekeepers 2010-2011
September, 2010 to September, 2011
Tom McGovern 02/03/2014
Beginning in 1999 and lasting into 2001, students at William and Mary and members of the Tidewater Labor Support Committee (TSLC) carried out what they called a "Living Wage Campaign," during which they protested and petitioned the school's administration to raise the salary for housekeepers employed by the college. The campaigners declared victory after the administration conceded to raising wages of the housekeepers to $8.29 per hour, which was far from their original goal, and ceased their campaign in 2001.
Connecticut Residents Give Up National Borders for Lent 2012-2013
November, 2012 to May, 2013
In 2008, the Federal Government of the United States launched a
program called "Secure Communities" that would allow Immigration and Customs
Enforcement to review records of suspects in the custody of local and state
police. In cases where officials found
out that prisoners were in the country illegally, officials could issue
detainer orders for local police to keep the prisoner in custody and begin
deportation proceedings. The effect of this enforcement policy was that

Lawrence Mill Workers strike against wage cuts, 1919
3 February, 1919 to 23 May, 1919
Kerry Robinson 16/02/2014
In 1919, the United Textile Workers and Central Labor Union, in
a rush of union activity, managed to shorten the work week from 54 hours to 48
hours. The unions negotiated this reform by making a concession of an overall
cut in wages, which were already below the cost of living. Immigrant workers at
textile mills in Lawrence, Massachusetts welcomed the change in hours, but
could not afford a decrease in wages. Aware of a successful strike involving
immigrant workers in Lawrence back in 1912, the mill workers decided to use the
same tactic to combat the wage decrease.
Wesleyan student-labor coalition wins living wages and unionization for campus janitors, 1999-2000
October, 1999 to April, 2000
Guido Girgenti, 02/02/2014
From the mid-1990s into the early 2000s a wave of economic justice activism swept through college campuses in the United States, spurred in large part by the global justice movement's spotlighting of corporate malfeasance in the United States and especially in the global South. Seeking to fight in solidarity with underpaid and unprotected laborers, a number of college campuses launched campaigns demanding their universities end the purchasing of apparel produced in sweatshops. Between 1999 and 2000, 18 campus campaigns used sit-ins and building occupations in pursuit of this goal.

British win repeal of Poll Tax (flat tax), 1989-1990
Spring, 1989 to November, 1990
Ojas Chinchwadkar 9/22/13
Margaret Thatcher was reelected for her third term in 1987. One of the changes she promised to implement was to levy a flat tax that she called a "Community Charge," although it became popularly known as the poll tax. A flat tax means that everybody, regardless of wealth, has to pay the same amount. The tax was to be set in the 1989-1990 financial year in Scotland, and in the 1990-1991 financial year in England. However, it was unpopular from the moment she proposed it, and she met resistance from both the people and her party.

North Carolina textile workers win union recognition from J. P. Stevens, 1976-1980
Abigail A Fuller, 13/05/2013

However, the company refused to sign a contract with the new union. In 1976, the TWUA merged with the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America (ACWA) to form the American Clothing and Textile Workers' Union (ACTWU). The new union immediately launched a campaign to pressure J. P. Stevens to sign a union contract.

28 June, 2009 to 28 May, 2011
The constitution of Honduras, established in 1982, did not provide structures for popular democratic participation.

He had been elected in 2005 as a cattle-rancher conservative but moved to the left and allied himself with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. He maintained that he wanted to guarantee wider and fairer representation to all Hondurans.

Israeli college students and politicians succeed in limiting yeshiva student stipends, 2010
26 October, 2010 to 17 December, 2010
On 14 June 2010, the High Court of Israel ruled to abolish state grants given to students at Jewish seminaries, or yeshivas. Prior to this decision married yeshiva students with children had received these grants to support their studies, but for nearly ten years secular students of higher education had not. The Knesset had passed a bill in 2000 ceasing stipends of secular students. Soon after this, Ornan Yekutieli, a Jerusalem councilman and activist, petitioned the Knesset to end the support of yeshiva students as well.

Violation would be considered a federal misdemeanor and could lead to arrest.
Brazilian laborers (ganhadores) strike against ID tag and tax legislation, 1857
1 June, 1857 to 9 June, 1857
During the 1800s, the slaves of Brazil held
uprisings and rebellions that led to the governments' careful construction of methods
of controlling black Brazilians. After one revolt in 1835 the Bahian Parliament
passed legislation to control the "ganhadores." Ganhadores were freed and
enslaved African males who transported goods and people through the city of
Bahia, now known as Salvador. Part of this legislation required that the
ganhadores pay taxes for their services.
Ganhadores refused to pay the required dues in every way possible,
Civil Rights activists campaign against de facto segregation in Milwaukee schools, 1964-1966
January, 1964 to March, 1966
In 1963, nearly
ten years after the Brown vs. Board of
Education court case declared school segregation illegal, de facto rather
than legal segregation remained prevalent in many northern cities of the United
States including Milwaukee. Milwaukee

1957, where black children were taught in classrooms separate from white
children and were not served in the cafeterias.

Belgians protest austerity measures, 2011-2012
Aileen Eisenberg and John Pontillo, 14/04/2013
On 2 December 2011, tens of thousands of Belgian citizens took to the streets in the capital, Brussels, to protest the austerity measures taken by the then-incoming government. The new socialist prime minister was going to be sworn in the week after this protest to try and fix the financial crisis that had left Belgium without a government for 19 months. The government needed to save 11.3 billion euros in the year of 2012 to decrease its budget deficit below the EU limit of 3% of gross domestic product (GDP).
Palestinians boycott settlement goods, 2009-2011
December, 2009 to May, 2011
In December 2009, Palestinians began a boycott of goods coming out of Jewish settlements in the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and other disputed territory. There was already a law established by the Palestinian Authority against buying these goods, effective in 2005, but most local salespeople and consumers did not observe the law because most complex non-food products sold in Palestine were produced in Israel or in the settlements. Likewise, the high-producing settlements depended on Palestinian consumers for economic survival.

The theory of economic growth is rich, interesting, and somewhat unsettled, but it stands to reason that emerging economies, where the fruit hangs low, can for a time grow much faster than advanced, fully developed countries. Furthermore, I find it reasonable to assume that, contrary to representing an alternative economic model, the Chinese experience over the past decade is itself evidence that even incomplete movements in the direction of free markets can pay large dividends. But even if you doubt that interpretation, the gap between the material circumstances of the average American and Chinese citizen is so large as to make comparisons about the success of the respective economic models premature by several decades.
"At least twice in the past century, the U.S. has re-emerged from deep crises to reinvent capitalism. In the 1930s, the Depression compelled Franklin Roosevelt to introduce Social Security, deposit insurance and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
"Policy makers' focus now, though, is on the financial sector that failed so spectacularly. Progress has been slow, and key pieces are missing, but the contours of a new system are taking shape. Banks will face stricter limits on their use of borrowed money, or 'leverage,' to boost returns. The Fed will keep a closer eye on markets during booms, and possibly step in to curb excessive risk-taking—a U-turn from its previous policy of mopping up after bubbles burst.
OK, but here is the central question: How can we be sure that the "new system" will be an improvement on the one it replaces? Some of the most significant failures of the last couple of years occurred in highly regulated industries. So the absence of regulation is not really at issue, but rather what kind of regulation we will have, and how it will be implemented. And there is the obvious point that regulatory change is not really reform if it undermines a system's existing strength. Some of the reform proposals on the table, for example, have the potential to seriously compromise "the ability of an independent central bank to get prices under control," the very feature of our current system that the article identifies as an historical source of resilience.
One of those major cracks is the "too-big-to-fail" distortion. Is it important to remember that too-big-to-fail is itself a creation of regulation, not markets? I think so.

A few weeks ago I purchased these sweet old plates with tiny flowers and scalloped edges from Marian a.k.a. Miss Mustard Seed.
I knew they would be perfect with my pale blue transferware and ironstone in the vasselier.
They arrived quickly, but when I opened the box I found two of them broken in pieces. My heart sunk, but I was hoping they could be glued back together. I also contacted Marian to tell her so that future packages would be wrapped more securely for breakables. I've seen on t.v. how these packages sometimes get tossed around pretty badly and on purpose. She immediately refunded me which was not the purpose of me telling her, but she insisted.
My repair man, Mr. Savvy glued the plates back together the best he could. They did not want to stay together.
He held them for a bit so they would set and as soon as he let go they came apart so that is when he tried the tape. They weren't perfect, but I knew they were just for display only and the way I placed them you don't really notice the repairs.
After I placed them in the vasselier I took these photos of how all my collections work together.
I love the china mixed with old books, wicker and even brass.
I'm so glad this was an easy fix.
Very pretty Kim! China is so hard to glue when it breaks...I've tried so many different glues that said it would hold china and glass and they never worked! Glad Mr. Savvy found a solution!
Oh no...such a beautiful plate to arrive broken...I am sure Marian was devasted too!....I have learned even with packing for a move, that I double box precious breakables...pack securely in one box...then place it in another box with packing paper...truly never had a broken item of glassware in all my moves!...the plates look very, very pretty in the vasselier and so do the other items!
I love the old vintage and the charm that it brings to a home. It makes everything seem warm and inviting. It has history and character. It all looks so nice. I am glad that plates were saved.
Your plates are so pretty and look beautiful mixed with the blue transferware. I'm so glad you were able to glue them back together and still use them. Almost everything I order these days comes damaged....it is so discouraging!!!! I have the most problems with USPS and cringe when something is being delivered by them. I bought a chandelier off of eBay a few years ago and it arrived just sitting loose in the box with absolutely no packing whatsoever!!! I had to laugh because it was so unbelievable....the amazing part was just the very bottom part was broken.
Love this piece and your displays are gorgeous.
They do look lovely and I would not have known they were broken from the photos. Great repair Mr. Savvy.
Im so glad you were able to fix it...very pretty!
Beautiful ! Glad you could repair the plates !
Hey Kim, I've been participating in several glue trials since spring-- 2 part epoxy is your answer with a fresh razor blade to scrape away the squeeze-out.
I've never come across your beautiful plates but I had the cups and saucers forEVer and just gave them to a niece! If she ever changes her mind about keeping them, perhaps I should pass them on to you!
Everytime I see your vasselier in your pictures--my heart skips a beat. Just beaUtiful!
What pretty plates. I am glad you were able to get them glued back together.
I had a special plate break this week. It was a high quality piece with great sentimental value. My heart sank. It was shattered, so there was no way to glue it back together. Because of its sentimental value, I saved it (in a ziplock) anyway. Perhaps I can figure out a way to use it in a mosaic or some other craft. BTW, I love Gorilla Glue. It has always held up for me!
The dishes are lovely, cracked or not! Thanks for the tip about Gorilla Glue! Boy do I need to keep that on hand!
So glad Mr. Savvy was able to come to the rescue again! Those beautiful plates were worth saving and look so pretty in your vasselier! Well, come to think of it, ANYTHING would look great in it because it's so beautiful!
Beautiful plates Kim and I love your entire display. How sweet of Marian to insist on refunding your money even though it wasn't the purpose of you call. I think the bloggy ladies in this genre are the nicest ladies of all!
Yeah Mr. Savvy for saving the plates. My heart would have sank on them coming broken too. Glad you could fix them and still use them. They are beautiful.
I have pieces arrive broken occasionally and hate when it's something rare or expensive. I saw Martha Stewart gluing china back together years ago using plain old Elmer's and I have always used that with great success. Great that you can still use them!!
Love the plates Kim and so glad they were easily fixed!
It looks great. The collections work so well together. 'Love the blacksmith sign!
What a bummer that it arrived broken.I send out lots of dishes too,I wrap things really well,I may go a little over board.But I am always concerned about pieces arriving broken.It was nice that she refunded you.Your cabinet looks so pretty with your plates!
My husband said they make clear Gorilla Glue!! He too is terrific at fixing everything!!! Love the plates even with the repair!

88% of college students skip breakfast, primarily because of lack of time, but that number is starting to turn (after) delivery robots arrive. Students are prolific users of food delivery apps and place a high value on convenience and having access to multiple options when they dine. During the morning hours, there is more emphasis on speed than any other part of the day. "During the week, people generally want quicker. They get to work, they have an hour at lunch." This follows a similar pattern seen at corporate campuses where delivery robots were added.
The Igloo cooler-sized robots from the Bay Area start-up Starship Technologies -- which were designed to deliver food on demand across campus -- appeared to elicit curious glances and numerous photos, but not much else.
During the first day of deliveries at GMU, the machines were flooded by so many dinner orders that school officials had to pull the plug, shutting off orders so that robots weren't operating late into the night, far behind schedule. Each robot is opened using a delivery code and can carry up to 20 pounds -- the equivalent of about three shopping bags of goods, Starship Technologies said.
Starship Technologies says GMU is the first campus in the country to incorporate robots into its student dining plan. With a growing number of students using delivery services like Uber Eats and DoorDash, the robots -- which travel 4 mph and make deliveries in 15 minutes or less -- are part of an ambitious plan to keep some of that business on campus. The hope, company officials said in January, was to replicate the fleet elsewhere.
"We've been very pleased with how quickly Starship has been embraced on college campuses," Ryan Tuohy, SVP, Business Development, Starship Technologies said, according to Monday's statement. "These campuses are hubs of innovation and activity, with both students and faculty needing convenient and flexible services."


RARE fiberglass kids chair designed by Gunter Beltzig, Germany 1966. In 1966, the Gebruder Beltzig designed a collection of single-piece, molded fiberglass play furniture, which they intended for both indoor and outdoor use. There was a play table and chairs, as well as a see-saw, a rocking tub-like thing, and the incredible, organically shaped slide. Everything was light and strong enough for kids to cart it around themselves. This is for a rare chair where presumably only 150 were made. This blue chair is in very good vintage condition, no cracks or bad damages, nothing to worry about being a chair which is over 40 years old. Would be a great collectable for any kids design lover / collector.

Hanging By a Thread
Understanding the Constitution
The New Challenge of Governments
February 28th, 2012 // 10:03 pm	@ Oliver DeMille
Globalization is changing the demand on governments around the world. Since the advent of the nation-state in 1648, the purpose of national government has been to protect its citizens from attack by international forces and domestic criminals.
Local government has focused on providing the various needs of citizens as deemed appropriate by voters and constitutional by the courts, and together these two levels of government (national and state in the U.S.) have been responsible for certain limited roles; the rest was left to private institutions and citizens.
With the growth of internationalism in the twentieth century, many governments took on the additional responsibility of helping its citizens prosper through the use of diplomacy, military strength and multilateral decision-making abroad.
Such responsibilities included, for example, the safety of citizens traveling the world, the protection of international investments by domestically-owned corporations, and the maintenance of trade and low prices in important commodities (from sugar to petroleum).
Where internationalism added a few such roles to many national governments, globalism is rewriting the entire purpose of government.
And where internationalism assumes a world made up of various separate nations with individual sovereignty and diplomatic arrangements between equals, globalism is based on a different perspective.
In the globalist view, we live in one world, everything that happens everywhere affects us all, and government should care for citizen needs by taking action around the world as needed to protect and promote the best results for its constituents.
Basically nothing is off limits.
This adds numerous implied responsibilities to governments that embrace the globalistic worldview.
For people who believe government should be limited to the authorities explicitly delegated by the people in the Constitution (as I do), this is a disturbing development.
It is becoming a concern for everyone as time passes.
On a technical level, the U.S. Constitution allows the federal government to engage in and ratify treaties with other nations, and when this occurs these treaties become part of the de facto constitutional structure of our nation.
In the era of internationalism (beginning around 1913 and expanding ever since, especially after 1944), the treaty powers have been used to drastically change our Constitutional model.
This is part of the "fine print" of our Constitutional society, and it has been ignored by almost all ordinary citizens.
But the shift from internationalism to globalism is a significantly bigger change (in size and also scope) than the shift from nationalism to internationalism.
Under the new values and ideals of globalism, the role of government is, well, everything it deems desirable.
This viewpoint is fundamentally the end of limited government.
Government in the global era is expected to survey the world, see needs, debate and vote about them, and pass legislation or issue executive orders to deal with whatever the government deems advantageous—the Constitution notwithstanding.
This includes taking action at the most local and personal level, including in peoples' homes and family decisions, and also at the macro-level in any and every corner of the world.
This is big government gone über.
In this view, government should do whatever is needed to accomplish whatever it considers popular or important.
The courts are allowed to sort out whether or not such action was acceptable, but only after the fact. No checks stop such government action and no balances are required before the government can act.
This is more than big government; it is closer to the philosophy of governance that Hobbes called Leviathan.
No wonder the government hasn't yet figured out quite how to respond to this changing sense of the state's proper role.
Congressman Paul Ryan argues that the federal government doesn't have a tax problem but rather a spending problem, but according to this new viewpoint of globalism the U.S. is going to have to spend a lot more—a lot more!—in the years and decades ahead to fulfill its proper role.
From this perspective, our federal spending spree is just getting started, and the only way to meet the need is to fundamentally reform taxation and get the upper and upper middle classes to foot the bill for a globalist government run from Washington.
In this outlook, we'll need to keep raising the budget every year and the required spending is deeply underfunded.
Only massive increases in taxes can get us moving in the right direction.
The old debate between Conservatives and Liberals just doesn't rise to the level of this new challenge, and the current energy in Washington is focused on a globalistic agenda that anticipates drastic increases in government for decades to come.
Georgetown University's Charles A. Kupchan, wrote:
"A crisis of governability has engulfed the world's most advanced democracies. It is no accident that the United States, Europe and Japan are simultaneously experiencing political breakdown; globalization is producing a widening gap between what electorates are asking of their governments and what those governments are able to deliver." (Foreign Affairs, January/February 2012)
Globalism is leading to a natural decrease in the living standard of developed nations, and citizens of such nations are turning to government to help bring back the lifestyles they've grown accustomed to enjoying.
As the lower and middle classes of the world join the global economy, and as competition for investment and credit is spread around the globe, the special benefits that the middle classes in advanced nations have carved out for themselves are becoming unsustainable.
The middle class was created by generations who worked very hard to earn such benefits, but their posterity seems to prefer keeping these same perks without putting forth the same effort.
When this doesn't work, they want their government to simultaneously block immigrants from "taking our jobs" and also find ways to maintain their parents' lifestyle without having to earn them the same way earlier generations did.
Except for the entrepreneurial class—and government is increasing the barriers to entrepreneurship.
This is painful.
And it forces a choice at the voting booth: either more freedom coupled with harder work on the one side or higher taxes on the rich combined with more government benefits on the other.
The "government fix" approach is predictably more popular.
The real answer is to re-establish a truly free system, where the government limits itself to the authority outlined in the Constitution and the laws are altered to re-emphasize true free enterprise where the laws treat everyone (lower, middle and upper classes) equally.
Freedom works, and a refocus on freedom will once again make America's economy the envy of the world.
Capital, investment and entrepreneurialism aren't fleeing the United States because of globalism but because Washington's policies have made the U.S. economy less profitable and attractive to business.
Unless the United States returns to a genuine free-enterprise model, our long-term economic trajectory will decline.
The battle has changed, though most people haven't realized it yet.
Now it's less about Left vs. Right and more the burgeoning issues of Free Enterprise vs. Globalism.

< 1985 NLCS 1987 >
The 1986 National League Championship Series was a best-of-seven Major League Baseball postseason series between the NL East champion New York Mets and NL West champion Houston Astros. It is the lone MLB playoff series in which the opponents were two "expansion" teams that had begun play in the same season (
REDIRECT Template:Baseball year) and was won by the Mets, four games to two, culminating with their 7–6, 16-inning triumph at Houston in Game 6. New York then defeated the Boston Red Sox in the 1986 World Series, four games to three.

5 Aftermath
After falling short of the NL East title in 1984 and 1985, the Mets, managed by Davey Johnson, captured first place in 1986 by posting a 108–54 record, 21 1⁄2 games ahead of the second-place rival Philadelphia Phillies. The title was the third in Mets' history and first since winning the 1973 NL pennant.
Meanwhile, Houston recorded a mark of 96–66 to capture the NL West title, clinching the crown when staff ace Mike Scott threw a no-hitter against the San Francisco Giants, marking the first time any team had nailed down a division championship with a no-hitter. It was also the first time the Astros had won a division in six seasons. Houston was managed by Hal Lanier.
The Mets won seven of their 12 regular-season contests against the Astros, taking five of six at home and losing four of six in Houston, including a three-game sweep in July during which New York's Bob Ojeda, Ron Darling, Tim Teufel, and Rick Aguilera were arrested for a scuffle with off-duty cops working as bouncers. Home field advantage, from 1969 to 1993, alternated between division winners, regardless of record. The Mets were to have home field advantage for this series, as the Dodgers (the 1985 NL West Champions) had it the previous year, however, a regular season game between the Chicago Bears and Houston Oilers made the Astrodome unavailable for October 12. Consequently, Games 1, 2, 6, and 7, were scheduled for the Astrodome to avoid conflicts.

Game 1 featured a pitching duel between eventual NLCS Most Valuable Player Mike Scott and Dwight Gooden. Scott allowed just five hits and walked one while striking out 14 in a complete-game effort as the host Astros prevailed 1–0. Gooden allowed one run in his seven innings, getting Scott to ground into a double play to end an Astros threat in the bottom of the fourth inning.
Houston first baseman Glenn Davis hit a long home run leading off the second inning, producing the game's lone run. Scott struck out Wally Backman and Keith Hernandez to escape a jam in the top of the eighth. With one out in the top of the ninth, Darryl Strawberry singled, stole second and reached third on a Mookie Wilson groundout. However, Scott struck out Ray Knight to end it.[1]

Game 2 saw the Mets knot the series at one game apiece as New York scored two runs in the fourth inning and then got three more in the fifth against Astros' starter Nolan Ryan en route to a 5–1 victory.
Lefty Bob Ojeda went the distance on a ten-hitter for the Mets, who were aided by an RBI double by Gary Carter and a sacrifice fly by Darryl Strawberry in the fourth inning. Wally Backman and Keith Hernandez combined for three RBIs in the fifth inning. The only Astros run came on a Phil Garner single in the seventh inning.[2]

Game 3 was a back-and-forth contest won by the Mets when Lenny Dykstra hit a two-run, walk-off homer against Astros' reliever Dave Smith in the bottom of the ninth inning, giving New York a 6–5 victory and 2–1 series lead on a Saturday afternoon at Shea Stadium.
Houston broke through with four runs in the first two innings against Mets' starter Ron Darling, highlighted by Bill Doran's two-run home run in the second.
Darling then threw three scoreless frames and the Mets came back by scoring four runs in the bottom of the sixth as Darryl Strawberry's three-run homer off Houston starter Bob Knepper tied the game 4–4.
However, the Astros struck back against reliever Rick Aguilera in the top of the seventh as a throwing error by Ray Knight led to an unearned run that came home when Denny Walling's fielder's choice plated Doran for a 5–4 lead. It was the only error committed by the Mets in the series.
With the Astros still leading in the bottom of the ninth, closer Smith allowed a lead-off bunt single to Wally Backman, who appeared to have run out of the first-base line to avoid the tag of first baseman Glenn Davis, but was called safe by umpire Dutch Rennert despite an argument from Houston manager Hal Lanier. Backman advanced to second on a passed ball, and Danny Heep then flew out to centerfield for the inning's first out. The next batter was Dykstra, who won it for New York by lacing a Smith pitch over the right-field fence for a two-run homer.
Jesse Orosco won the game in relief for New York by working two scoreless innings.[3]

Astros' ace Mike Scott, pitching on three days rest, was dominant once again in Game 4. The right-hander went the distance on a three-hitter to earn his second victory of the series in Houston's 3–1 triumph.
Mets' starter Sid Fernandez allowed just three runs in six innings, but surrendered a two-run home run to Alan Ashby and a solo shot to Dickie Thon to account for all the offense the Astros needed.
Gary Carter came to bat as the tying run in the bottom of the ninth, but flew out to center as the Astros tied the series 2-2.[4]

After rain postponed Game 5 to a noon start on October 14, the Mets took a 3–2 series lead as Gary Carter's single off Charlie Kerfeld in the bottom of the 12th scored Wally Backman with the winning run for a 2–1 victory.
Game 5 was a pitching duel between Dwight Gooden and Nolan Ryan as Gooden allowed just one run in 10 innings with Ryan also surrendering a single run on two hits while striking out 12 in nine innings.
With no score in the top of the second, Gooden surrendered consecutive singles to Kevin Bass and José Cruz, putting runners on the corners with nobody out. He then caught Alan Ashby looking on a full count, and induced Craig Reynolds to ground into a double play to escape the jam.
The Astros took a 1–0 lead in the fifth when Alan Ashby doubled, took third on a single by Craig Reynolds, and then scored on Bill Doran's ground-out. However, the Mets came right back and tied it in the bottom half when Darryl Strawberry took Ryan deep for the Mets' first hit of the game and his second homer of the series.
The Astros reached second base in the eighth and tenth innings. However, in the eighth Gooden got Denny Walling to fly out to Mookie Wilson left field, where Wilson doubled off Bill Doran from second base to end the inning. In the 10th inning, Gooden gave up a single to pinch hitter Terry Puhl, who then stole second base, and walked Bill Doran. He got Billy Hatcher to fly out to right field to end the inning with no damage done.
The game stayed tied until the 12th when with one out Wally Backman got an infield single off Kerfeld. Backman then took second on Kerfeld's errant throw on a pick-off attempt. Houston manager Hal Lanier opted to intentionally walk Keith Hernandez and pitch to Gary Carter, who had been just 1-for-21 in the series, but the catcher came through, lashing a single to center to give the Mets the win and a one-game lead as the series shifted back to Houston.
Jesse Orosco again earned the win for New York by hurling two perfect innings.[5]
Hernandez would reveal in 2011 that he had stepped off the bag as the first baseman in the top of the second inning, when the Astros had runners on first and third and one out, and batter Craig Reynolds, grounded to second and the Mets tried to turn a double-play. Hernandez would say, "[Reynolds] clearly beat it, but I cheated and we got the call." Had Reynolds correctly been called safe, Kevin Bass would have scored from third and the Astros would have taken an early 1–0 lead.[7]

HOU: Billy Hatcher (1)
In one of the most famous games in baseball history, the Mets defeated Houston at the Astrodome 7–6 in 16 innings as Jesse Orosco struck out Kevin Bass on a curveball for the final out with runners at first and second and New York advanced to its third World Series in franchise history.
Houston took a 3–0 lead in the first inning against Bob Ojeda with an RBI double by Phil Garner, plus RBI singles from Glenn Davis and Jose Cruz, giving Astros' starter Bob Knepper an early advantage. They were unable to add more runs as Kevin Bass was thrown out at third base following Alan Ashby's botched attempt to lay down a suicide-squeeze bunt and then Ashby lined out to shortstop to end the inning.
That lead held up for most of the game as Knepper was dominant, allowing no runs through the first eight innings. Meanwhile, Ojeda allowed nothing more through his next four frames, after which Rick Aguilera tossed three scoreless innings.
This set the stage for a Mets' comeback in the top of the ninth that started when Lenny Dykstra tripled against Knepper to lead off. Mookie Wilson singled in Dykstra to cut it to 3–1 and then with one out Keith Hernandez doubled to score Wilson and end Knepper's night as the southpaw was replaced by Dave Smith, who walked Carter and Darryl Strawberry to load the bases. Ray Knight then hit a sacrifice fly to right to score Hernandez and tie the game before Danny Heep struck out swinging with the bases loaded to end the inning.
Roger McDowell then came in to pitch for New York and allowed just one hit through five scoreless innings. Meanwhile, Houston pitchers Dave Smith and Larry Andersen held the Mets hitless until the top of the 14th when Carter singled, Strawberry walked, and with one out Wally Backman singled off Aurelio López to plate Strawberry with the go-ahead run as Bass' throw home sailed high. The Mets still had the bases loaded before Wilson struck out to end the threat.
The Mets were now three outs away from going to the World Series, but with one out in the bottom of the 14th, Billy Hatcher homered off the left-field foul pole against Orosco to tie the game 4–4.
However, in the top of the 16th, Strawberry doubled to lead off against López, followed by Knight's single that scored Strawberry to put the Mets ahead again. Jeff Calhoun then replaced López and threw two wild pitches, the second scoring Knight to put New York up by two. Dykstra then singled in Backman, who had walked, for a 7–4 Mets' advantage.
The Mets needed each of those three runs as Houston rallied once again when with one out, Davey Lopes drew a pinch-hit walk, followed by Doran's single. Hatcher then singled in Lopes to make it 7–5, after which Denny Walling hit into a fielder's choice for the second out. Davis followed with a single to centerfield that landed in front of a charging Dykstra, that brought home Doran to cut it to 7–6. Now with the tying run in scoring position, the winning run at the first base, and would-be Game 7 starter Mike Scott looming in the dugout, Orosco fanned Bass to end the contest and send the Mets to a World Series duel with the Boston Red Sox.
Orosco pitched three innings for his third win of the series, marking the first time a reliever had ever won three games in a postseason series. The time of the game was 4 hours and 42 minutes and the 16 innings was the most that had ever been played in a postseason contest at that time. Interestingly, the Mets and Astros had played a 15-inning contest that lasted 5 hours and 29 minutes during the regular season, which Houston won 9–8.[6]
In 2011, MLB Network ranked this as the fifth greatest game of the preceding fifty years.[8]
This was the last game in which the Astros wore their "rainbow guts" uniform top, which the franchise introduced in 1975 and became one of the most iconic, if infamous, uniforms in MLB history.

Terrance Mitchell is back. The Browns announced that they've activated the defensive back from the injured reserve. To make room on the roster, the team placed TE Pharaoh Brown on the IR.
Mitchell signed a three-year, $12MM deal with the Browns this offseason, and he proceeded to start each of Cleveland's first three games. The 26-year-old was productive during the early stretch of the season, compiling 19 tackles, three passes defended, two forced fumbles, and one interception. This followed a 2017 campaign where he established career-highs in tackles (53), passes defended (18) and interceptions (four) with the Chiefs.
Mitchell ended up fracturing his wrist in late September, landing him on the injured reserve. With the former seventh-rounder back on the active roster, he'll be joining a cornerbacks corps that currently features T.J. Carrie, Denzel Ward, Phillip Gaines, Tavierre Thomas, and Juston Burris.
Brown has split the season between the Browns' active roster and practice squad, and he's been listed as inactive for Cleveland's past five games. The move now leaves the Browns with four tight ends in David Njoku, Darren Fells, Seth Devalve, and Orson Charles.
Today's workout updates are below. There were some notable names, including veteran quarterback Landry Jones, who was released by the Steelers at final cuts.
Looks like the Browns are searching for defensive help, working out a slew of players on that side of the ball. Jones working out for the Patriots is interesting, as he isn't really young enough to be seen as a developmental project, and Brian Hoyer is entrenched as Tom Brady's backup.

Ellerbe - The Dark Side of Christian History
Downloaded: 16 times | Size: 221 pages | Add to wishlist | Download for @5 credits
Occasionally, a book comes along which belongs in every Pagan's personal library, but if it were up to me "The Dark Side of Christian History" would be required reading for the general population as well. Author, Helen Ellerbe, has written precisely the book I've been waiting for, and in fact would like to have written myself. While others before her have covered one or two of Christianity's more shameful exploits in a given volume, she has gathered together in one work, a definitive chronicle of events from each period from 100ce to the present day. She explains the evolution of the Christian world view and how this doctrine manifested itself in church policy, driving every aspect of its behavior. By viewing each step of this process in sequence, we see that the episodes of tyranny and oppression were not mere isolated incidents in an otherwise distinguished career of benevolence, but rather they were part of an ongoing process whereby each and every obstacle to hegemony was systematically subjugated, subdued, subverted and destroyed. In the chapter concerning modern times, entitled "A World Without God", Ellerbe demonstrates that while the power of the church is mostly gone, the effects of its doctrine in the form of a persistent world view are with us still. Western attitudes toward gender, race, sexuality and the environment have all been shaped by that doctrine created by the evolving church in its effort to impose rigid hierarchy on the entire world and everything in it. She goes on to show that while the rise of modern science has done much to strip the church of its power, most of the science of the last 500 years is in certain ways an extension of the Christian world view, rather than an affront to it, and we are only now just beginning to break free of this limitation. "The Dark Side of Christian History" though thoroughly researched and documented, is not difficult to read but it IS painful to read. I found myself hurting for all of humanity - past, present and future and asking myself the question "What if none of it ever happened?"
Alexander - St. Expedite
Expedite is one of a growing number of "folk saints". A folk saint is one chosen by the people as opposed to those saints canonised by the Holy Roman church. Folk saints are not recognised by the Vatican but by the people who love them.
This guide explains how to begin working with this unofficial saint of emergencies, businesses, shop keepers, examinees and anyone in need of a rapid solution. Call on Expedite with confidence, knowing he will provide those who petition him with exactly what they need, and remember, spreading his name about always wins his favour.
[ recommended ] Holy Blood, Holy Grail
Is it possible Christ did not die on the cross? Is it possible Jesus was married, a father, and that his bloodline still exists? Is it possible that parchments found in the South of France a century ago reveal one of the best-kept secrets of Christendom? Is it possible that these parchments contain the very heart of the mystery of the Holy Grail? According to the authors of this extraordinarily provocative, meticulously researched book, not only are these things possible, they are probably true! so revolutionary, so original, so convincing, that the most faithful Christians will be moved; here is the book that has sparked worldwide controversy. The authors argue that there is evidence that Jesus married Mary Magdalene, had one or more children, and that those children or their descendants emigrated to what is now southern France. Once there, they intermarried with the noble families that would eventually become the Merovingian dynasty, which is championed today by a secret society called the Priory of Sion


I am an English and Theater teacher at Naperville North High School.
Teaching is my fourth (?) career after working for the IRS, getting an MBA in Finance and working in the corporate world, chucking it all to become an actor which was always my dream, and then moving into the teaching world, which I have been doing for the last nine years.
For me, high school was all about theater. I don't have a lot of memories about classes, but I can tell you about the 11 plays I was in or directed. That was where I made most of my friends, some of whom I am still friends with today. I was really blessed to go to a school with such a terrific drama program.
Spend time with my kids, go to the theater, and watch the Bears, Sox, Bulls and Hawks.
Andrew Simon has a birthday today.

Guided snowshoe walks returning to Cedar Breaks National Monument
Cedar Breaks National Monument's colorful carved amphitheater of stone sits high on the plateau above Cedar City, Utah. Photo credit: Ray Boren, Deseret News.
CEDAR CITY — The National Park Service announced Friday the return of guided snowshoe walks to Cedar Breaks National Monument.
The guided walks will start up next weekend on Saturday, Jan. 21, and will continue through March. According to a news release, two walks will be available each Saturday and Sunday. Additionally, there will be an afternoon walk on Fridays.
Equipment will be provided for those wishing to participate. However, reservations are required.
While the roads to the park are closed during the winter, the NPS says there are still a variety of ways to enjoy the park. During the winter months, visitors can access the park by the use of snowshoes, cross-country skiing and snowmobiles.
The NPS says the guided snowshoe walks provide an introduction to the winter-time activity.
More about the guided snowshoe walks
The walks are 90 minutes in length, according to the news release. It includes a one-mile walk with a formal ranger program roughly halfway through the walk.
Reservations can be scheduled by calling 435-986-7120, or by email at cedarbreaksinfo@nps.gov. Reservation requests will be confirmed by the Friday before the scheduled walk. Those interested in participating are encouraged to make a reservation as soon as possible, as spots are limited.
The guided snowshoe walks may be canceled due to weather.
Visitors to the park during the winter months may access the park at any time on their own. The NPS says snowmobiles are only permitted on the marked, groomed path through the park.

Utah State Fire Marshal shares firework safety tips for Chinese New Year
The Utah State Fire Marshal is reminding those celebrating Chinese New Year to do so safely, especially when handling fireworks.


Last night, after a long day of running errands and doing the usual house cleaning, my husband, Anderson Anderson Hooper, and I cozied up in front of the fire with a bottle of wine. It was a perfect moment in peaceful quiet, and we just gazed at each other lustfully. He gently grabbed my hand and scooted a little closer to me. He smiled at me, as if he knew my thoughts. I released a nervous sigh.
"How many water bears do you think we unknowingly eat every day? And does that go against veganism?" I asked and twirled my wine glass pensively.
"Uh, yeah I don't know," Annie replied (I call him Annie).
"Do you think that they survive our digestive system? I mean, they can survive the vacuum of space. How many water bears, on average, are in human poop? Do they study this? Do we know any biologist that we can call and ask?" I quickly grab my phone and start googling, while Annie switches his focused cuddling on a nearby dog.
I still don't know the answers to my questions, but I've decided to start a charity to save the water bears. They terrify me, with their scary jagged vacuum mouths and dark stares with no eyes. But I just feel bad that I eat them all the time, even if they ARE delicious.
This is a recipe for buttered noodles (heavily seasoned with water bears, but you can just add grilled or roasted chicken instead). I am basically on a cooking vacation this month, because I'm burned out on life, so this recipe is excellent for fellow lazy assholes like me. Seriously though, this is as easy as Top Ramen, so all you college kids can make this for your dates you're trying to sleep with. Actually, this recipe doesn't work great for that because you WILL get butter all over your face and both of you will be greasy as hell. I will actually be making real things soon, not just skirting by on my good looks and charm. I can't let Serafina have all the glory.
I need to look into getting new plates and hipster cutlery.
I love having asparagus with pasta. It's like that great one night stand that you slightly regret the second you pee.
Cook the pasta according to package directions al dente. Drain the pasta, and then return to the pot. Add butter and cheese. If you want meat, add it now (make sure it's already cooked). Stir, and season to taste. Eat the pound of noodles yourself and order a pizza for the other person. I usually serve this dish with green beans, but I've honestly only done it once, so it's not like I've set up a precedent or anything.
My pet dingo, Nicole Kidman. Waiting for a noodle to drop.
You made me listen to a podcast about tardigrades. I'm a little upset about it, because I feel like you manipulated me into learning about something. But I would have just been working on grad school stuff, which could loosely be defined as learning anyway, so I guess I can't be that upset.
I can't listen to it right now, but I will tomorrow morning. I am warning you if it doesn't explain tardigrade levels in poop I'm going to be disappointed.
