Yanks punch playoff ticket.

Facts machine: How the East was won
The Yankees' 8-4 win over the Red Sox on Sunday clinched the AL East title with one game remaining, despite the fact that the Red Sox and Yankees could finish the season with 95-67 records. But why? One word ... "Indians."

Yankees win the title
Saturday's win gave the Yankees a 10-8 edge in the head-to-head matchup, which is the first tiebreaker if the Red Sox were to win on Sunday. Since New York would finish with a 10-9 record against Boston in that scenario, both teams would have identical records with the Yankees winning on the first tiebreaker. But more importantly, the Indians' loss prevented a potential three-way tie between New York, Boston and Cleveland, which would have set up a pair of one-game playoffs to decide the AL East and Wild Card winners.

What about the Red Sox?
Obviously, the Red Sox are out of the East race, but the Wild Card is still there for the taking. Cleveland's loss on Saturday afternoon left the Red Sox one game ahead of the Indians in the AL Wild Card chase, so a Red Sox win or an Indians loss on Sunday would get Boston into the postseason. However, a Red Sox loss coupled with an Indians win would cause a tie atop the Wild Card standings and result in a one-game playoff on Monday. The winner of that game would be the Wild Card winner.

Yankees continue thier Div winning streak to 8, OUTSTANDING!! i stopped by and grabbed an extended Series 13 of Randy Johnson 3 ed. SAWeeet.

Lets Go INDIANS!!!! Thanks Scary Aaron, and now i root-A-toot for you team to win and we'll Knock off the BOTOX again guaranteeing your entrance to the post season, but we'll then have to pounce on ya. :)

eM249ine Design

I have been doing grafix for a number of years non-commercially. Application i was using was Adobe Photoshop 7. While in Iraq i did a few designs on my down time. This was to be a signature for a forum i frequent but never published. It was fun to design and get my mind off the deployment. I'll share a few with you.

M249 SAW
Description and Specifications A lightweight, gas-operated, one-man-portable automatic weapon capable of delivering a large volume of effective fire at ranges up to 800 meters. Two M249s are issued per infantry squad. It is scheduled to replace the M60 7.62 medium machine gun in certain units.

• Caliber: 5.56 mm
  
• Weight: 16.5 lbs
  
• Max effective range: 1000 m (area target) 600 m (point target)
• Rate of fire: 750 rounds per minute
  

While learning how to do face plates for media apps WinAmp, i created this one. Was fun after i got the hang of layers and manipulating shapes with bevels and styles. The final product came out decent. Wish i had a picture of the full version. I could re-create th whole thing in a few hours. Sux losing a whole batch of .psd files.


FTL - Fuck This Life. This is how i felt about Iraq when i first got there. I hated the heat and thought there was No way could survive 1 year in that hell hole. This was a rip i took of a wallpaper. I did 3-4 different styles of giving you the finger, hehe... It was easy, took me about 10 minutes to do. I used it as a Sig at X-N-C for a while. Later in my deployment it was our way of saying hi and or non verbal communication. I got plenty of these while Assphualt Pounding in Iraq. Hey you get one of These? Now we dont see each other face to face, so i'll post here for my fellow Wild Turkeys to see as they check out my blog. I got the original file and will create awhole page soley with this topic for you all to visit. But in email i send my ascii code of it oOoo.

Whisky Turds i made a few more designs for shirts. I'm going to need your sizes again so i can have one sent to each of you. Wild Turkey these are on me. Stay tuned for a few more pieces to be posted. eM~OUT!

Alias Season 5

Starts tonite @ 8pm on ABC. OUTSTANDING! Looking forward to seeing Sydney Bristow. I missed Season 4, due to Assphault Pounding in Iraq. Hopefully CJ, WT, DA-z watch it and send me feedback on the show. I'll def send my thoughts of it to you in the AM. I'm getting season 4 and look to copy and send out to you all upon me getting mine. Wish we could've watched while at drum, but Munyeka alterd those plans. Bacm to mis Bristow, she's all ears and with that DeTard, but there's Something about women and being HOT and saviors of man-kind AWESOME! i'm about it and to name a few others... Jessica Alba(Dark Angel), Charliz Theron(AeonFlux) .. Linnea Hand(Wild Turkey Infatranz), Angelina Jolie(Lara Croft, Tomb Raider), Jennifer Gardner(Sydney Bristow, Alias), and Joanna Dark(Perfect Dark).. give me that warm and fuzzy...

Quick question if you follow Alias who is your favorite Character? Sydney's character keeps me focused, but Jack Bristow IMO is the best character in the show. He is no joke and at all cost does what ever it takes ot protect Sydney. Some of his tactics, he does with out question or regard to authority. He's just as mean as the villians in the show. He is the ShiZz! Read more about him here: Jack Bristow [Victor Garber]

Ahh, before i leave off, want to shout out my Yankees. Have a few Boston, Pittsburgh, Phillies, and Indians fans that cruise thru, Dont Hate and good luck in route to the Post Season and Life after. Luckily the Xbox360 comes out next month and you'll be distracted form the MLB series playoffs. f0-sh0!!!! 1 more nite @ Orioles, then to the Bronx for the BOTOX. Like scary mentioned some one will leave Black and Blue, will it be YOU!

Technical Writing.

WOW, i'm diggin deep here. I got to unravel some hidden skill. I really liked this class while in school and almost persued it as a full time job. In Information Systems from time to time i have to write instructions for fellow staff and for the ID10T users on my network. This flux capacitor is connected to that do-hicky looped with that thing-a-ma-jiggy. Then take the 3 widgets and chuck them cause they are left overs, and you'll probably need them later, but i'll forget to add them in this document. Please call Help Desk if you have any questions and leave a message at the beep. ------BEEP!
Its awesome to write them out and add pictures of exactly what they'll look like or what the user will see upon starting them and they'll still call cause they are lost.

I didnt have anythig to stressfull to do at work this week. Nothing really mind boggling. Just some crazy issues with USB ports and WinXP. Dell Dell, Dell.... If i could get paid for tweaks and fixes i've done i could retire from this job where i dont do anything to begin with.

Hey no one attempted my puzzle a few posts ago, here is the next line:

Whew! Tuesday morn.
This past weekend went well. Celebrated my lil mans Birthday (9yrs old) at this place called the FunPlex. Not only can the kiddies have fun, Adults can have fun to the UTMOST! Wish i had my camera.. :( its on its way back from Florida with my aunt. The 3 major rides/events we did were Go Karts, Lazer Tag and Foam Frenzy. All were fun. My son like Lazer tag the most. I took a whirl at the batting cages. Felt the pain sunday morning taking all them swings.
Also on saturday i went to see my my brother who was in iraq around the same time i was. He's not really my brother, but we grew up together as military brats. We later joined the army and contiued where our dads left off. He's a combat medic and 2 weeks after i came home from Iraq he suffer'd a rocket attack on his APC (Amored Personnel Carrier) while trying to rescue some injured soldiers. He was the sole survivor of the 7 troops on board. He sustained some serious injuries, but pulled thru it and is doing well. He came back to NJ to visit. His sster threw a BBQ for him; all our friends from back in the day stopped by to see how he was doing and to say hello. Was great to see him rockin and his old self. Altho he lost a limb it isnt keeping him down. Keep rockin LeRoy, love you man and wish you the best.

Warning: If you TiVo shows carefull i go over ones i watched that came on last nite, dont want to spoil any eps for you.

Shows This week

* Surface - 8pm mondays - started slow and almost lost my attention as they are draggin thier feet with this monster. During the show there is a baby one running around i got to get a decent look at. Was a mystery like the Lochness Monster, till the end. WHOLY CRAP! that mofo is huge and no joke. It ate a whole boat. It could've swallowed a battleship. Previews for next week look good and cant wait for the next episode.

* MNF - 9pm mondays - KC @ Denver. Denver took to them.

* CSI Miami - 10pm mondays - only CSI i really like, but didnt watch due to MNF and my Demo disc that came in my November OXM (Official Xbox Mag) ; sorry mami i know we watch this one together i didnt come thru yesterday.. te amo!

* Bones - Tuesday 8:00 PM - missed the premier. Heard the commercial for it on my way into work and it comes on tonite.

* ALIAS - 8pm Thursdays - new time from last year. This will be the first episode of season. The trailers show SydneyBristow now has a baby.. Quit Playing! i missed last years season 4 due to my deployment to Iraq and the DVD hasnt come out. Its not fair, i need to see season 4 before 5. I'm going to be lost. Anyone TiVo it last year willing to send it to me i'd appreciate it. While in Iraq i was able to get a few of my platoon hooked on this show. Are you all going to watch this season? CJ, WT, DA-z??

* College Football - Thursday 7:30pm - no clue who's playing. Probs someone form the WHACK-10.

* Threshold - Friday 9pm - Show is getting better. Again, it reminds me of Species where they get all these scientist together to track/solve this alian problem. No review of last episode as there was too much beer over the weekend and its tuesday morn and i'm halfway thru my coffee. more later if i can rememeber. plus it kills my gaming nite on Live, but since its the weekend i can game all nite. See ya on Live!

* Inconceivable - Friday 10pm - right after Threshold. Cant get pregnant, see a specialist. Think Nip/Tuck with sperm instead of scalpels, or Six Feet Under with cribs instead of coffins. Thats what its about. Its pretty good as this clinic has a new alternative method. The chic from ER is in this show, Rachel Lu who played Ming Na. The first episode was good as there was serogate(sp?) mother that didnt disclose she had sex after the artificial insemination(sp?) to many big words this early in the am, hehehe... so when it came to delivery she had a bouncing baby boy. The couple was white whom she was carrying for, and the baby born was black! WOW! and there is a priest and his wife trying to have a child, but there isnt anything they can do atm. Welp the one doctor is messing with a receptionist. More like a eff buddy and she knows the situation with the couple. She wants to get her groove on with the docotor, but he doesnt want to rock her boots anymore. She wants one for the road and he agrees to a helmet polish. She pulls a cup out of her purse when he aint paying attention to get a sample of Monica Lewinski style for later use. eeew! At close of the show she swaps the sperm for the Priest's stuff that aint good. Someone sees her do it from another room. She doesnt know she was has been seen. In next weeks epsisode they let her knw that she was seen. I think it was the doctor. Ah, in this episode there was a moarine who's wife was sent to Iraq qnad died. Before she left she had some of her eggs frozen so he can have them fertilized and have a child even tho she wasnt around any longer. His wife's sister was to be the serrogate mother for him. It didnt happen, and eggs were destroyed. i lost forcus on that part as i was doing something and wasnt tracking that issue. Thats about it. Next week the father of the mishap delivery comes back for revenge. ahh i almost forgot, the mother didnt want the child as she had one already and times were rough, but the natural father came to get him. Yeah boy! DADs stepping up!

Out the Gate Smoke!

Camel Meat anyone?

For Jenni. Here are some pictures of Camels in Iraq and Kuwait. I almost broad sided one on a mission. Brought my 5ton tractor to a screeching hault as it crossed the road in front of me. I also remember the day we were heading north into Iraq from Kuwait we came across this delirious camel that almost broad sided one of our tankers. This crazy asz camel was running all over the place in 100+ heat. I was like if he cant handle this weather its going to be one long year for me. Here are a few more for you Jenni.
The very few day missions we ran we were able to get these pics. Altho at nite you see this mass of hunk of camel on the side of the road while doing 65+ mph you pray he wont cross as you come upon him. In my archive i have a picture of a camel toe, :) haha... got to find it tho.
