Apollo and R19 Drake
Old topic, perhaps no reason to post, but since I had the chance to ride Apollo(2007)
for about half an hour, and I thought to post some info in case it's of any help.
I am 98kg (1.93m tall), systematically training on formula boards during about the last 2 years. Wind was around 12knots having few lulls and gusts. Water a bit choppy but
nothing dramatic. Until now I was used to ride F2 FXII(I think 2003 model...).
I tried Apollo with a R19 Drake fin (taken from an old F160) and 11.0 sail (Aerotech VMG).
From the first ride it was obvious that the board planes really much quicker (than e.g.
from F2 FXII) without the need to pump hard.
The upwind pointing angle was really much better. Using the same
sail and fin on FXII, I was unable to reach such an upwind angle. However the board felt
slow and 'huge' - I guess this is the price to pay when you get a better angle(?).
But, this might be due to the R19 Drake fine, which is thick and cheap.
I think this board is a good choice for those who are heavy weight(>90kg) and really
strugle when racing in marginal wind conditions (10knots or less). But, in this case,
a second formula board is essential, in case the wind picks up more than 15knots....
It would be nice to have an Apollo board which has maybe better performance in
mid-wind range (I don't state 'high-wind' cause, I don't think it's easy to have a super
early planner board in 6-7knots and at the same time to be able to ride it in 20+knots).

RE: Anybody try the Apollo Yet?
Hi Roger,
I think that experimentation with different mast components is an interesting path. I've done some mixing out of necessity, and I've found the results can be quite acceptable if stiffness differences aren't that great. Yet, I think a lot depends on the focus of the mixing effort. I feel that concentration on different tops, as opposed to bottoms, will most likely lead to a more workable outcome overall.
Once you've had the opportunity to test and validate your ideas, I'd really like to hear more about what you learned.
|16th March 2007 07:15 AM
RE: Anybody try the Apollo Yet?
Hi Matthew,
As soon as I get some new masts and mast pieces tomorrow, I hope to get on the water and try these new ideas out.
As you may (or may not) know, I don't tell people about new ideas like this until I actually try them out.
As soon as I determine how much more I can get from some of my new '07 Sailworks rigs, I'll let you know.
I already have started using this same concept on the Hucker sails, but I need to check it out with a new 9.5 Retro and perhaps the '06 Retro 10.0 m2 mentioned above.
I'm also going to test this idea in some of my larger NX slm race sails.
I guess this is one of those "never say never" situations.
For years I've been "preaching" for sailors to get the suggested "best" mast to get the most from their sails, but it looks like there may be some options here.
Having said this, it occurs to me that one needs to be a bit careful about mixing mast parts and having a really good idea of what you want to achieve by using other than the recommended best mast.
The basic concept here is to give the sail more panel and perimeter tension by selecting mast pieces (tops and bottoms) with different stiffness and bend characteristics to move more and less tension into areas where you want more draft and shape.
Hope this helps,

RE: Anybody try the Apollo Yet?
Hi Bensen,
Sunday with the 10.0 Retro (which everyone who tried the board in 8-12 knots got going prettye easily was a True Ames Santa Barabara Weed 53 cm (20.8 ").
On Monday, I used a True Ames Santa Barbara Weed 58 cm with the 9.1 NX slm.
I have alot more finsx to try this week.
So far, the OEM 75 cm wide chord Drake seems to work to get planing, but I've found that shorter fins are significantly faster, so I'm working toward finding a fin/rig combination that's both fast and plaes super early.
Bruce P. gave me some suggestions to get more low end out of my sails yesterday , so I have a whole new spectrum of ideas to check out here.
I'm yhinking that for my weight, a 70-72 is ultimately going to be the best race type fin size for me, and as I say, I have about 5 or 6 different weed fin designs to test as well.
So far, in "easy to get planing conditions (around 7 knots) my first choice of fins would be a Deboichet Concept 64 and the True Ames
SB Weed 53 cm.
Hope this helps,
|13th March 2007 07:35 PM
RE: Anybody try the Apollo Yet?
I'm starting to think the wind is always blowing 10 knots plus!
Has anyone tried the apollo in 5-6 knots (windspeed)??
I would love to hear how it goes or doesn't go in this windspeed.
|13th March 2007 02:55 PM
RE: Anybody try the Apollo Yet?
Hi Hugh
I was using my best racing fin F1 S- 70cm +8 which I use in my F161 with 11 and 11,8 in both, Apollo and F161, for clear comparison. Its a super super soft, slim but powerfull fat profile fin. This fin provides the F161 with super lift upwind and allows very free unproblematic and fast deep downwind. Because of the +7,5cm wider tail of the Apollo I have to ride this fin more sensible. I dont believe to much in the 75cm in our gusty conditions. In stronger Gusts its to slow because to large. Maybe a good choice in constant 7-11kn, not in 7-15kn.
I will use my Apollo in racing with 11 and 11,8 specially in gusty conditions with 7kn areas. Will report after first competitions of Formula Super Cup in May.

RE: Anybody try the Apollo Yet?
Hi Roger
When you used your Sailworks yesterday, what fin did you use?
Any hints to get the Apollo planing i very low wind conditions?
So far, I have been using my Apollo with a Drake 70 cm fin and a NP Rss 9,2, but if I can use the 75 cm fin in combo with a 9,2 sail, it´s getting interesting.
Pls tell us your secret.

RE: Anybody try the Apollo Yet?
Hi George,
Well, I finally have my Apollo back from the WS Mag board tests.
They seemed to like the Apollo, alot!
Since then I've had the board out several times myself, and did a weekend demo with it.
To say the least, IT ROCKS!
One sailor was out in a measured 10 knots of wind yesterday and his GPS said he was doing over 20 knots.
I was out on it today, in < 10 knots (more like 7-9) with a 9.1 Sailworks NX fw and manged to pull away from a lighter sailor on a 10m2 + Ezzy and a Starboard F-147.
On a beam reach the boards were about even.
Upwind and off the wind Apollo (over a Formula board) the Apollo is a bit faster but the nice thing is that it's so darn easy to sail.
I did NOT say it's easy at first to get it planing, that takes a bit of figuring out, but once you get the magic combination, the Apollo takes off well before any other recreational board I've ever sailed, and in < 12 knots, I think it's probably the fastest recreational board ever.
George, if you are racing, then your Lab or the F-161 are probably the best tools.
For being the first to plane on Mission Bay, try the Apollo and I think you will be absolutely astonished.
Put a big drafty free race sail on it (not your Pryde double luff) and you will almost for sure be the first to plane. Might be great with the big double luff as well, but I don't think FW sails are the best tools for
use at the absolute min. planing threshold.
Hope this helps,
|13th March 2007 01:49 AM
|Hugh Jarmes
RE: Anybody try the Apollo Yet?
Thanks - it is great to get your view
But what fin were you using on the Apollo?
And what was the fin on the 161?
I think this is important information when making a comparison.
I found that the 75cm fin has a great deal to do with the early planing ability of the Apollo. Unfortunately, a 75cm fin is not legal for racing.

Spruce it up
I was going to put our Christmas poinsettias on the Laurens Street bridge and see how everyone would like the new look.
It's a bridge
For all of you complaining about the new Laurens Street bridge, you need to realize that it is exactly what it is; a bridge. It is not art, it was never meant to go in a museum, it does not need horses or anything else painted on it. It gets you over the tracks just like it was designed to do. Instead of spending money to try to make it "pretty," why not pave the roads that are in horrible condition downtown? If you hate it that much, don't use it. Try going by the courthouse or one of the three horrible wooden bridges that will rattle your car apart.
I'm ready to sell my house in downtown Aiken but there are a few behind me where the owner won't fix up his rental houses. Is there anything that can be done about this? The City doesn't seem to care that these homes are in such disrepair.
Bridge owner
Who is responsible for the upkeep of the bridge on Highway 28 going west from Beech Island into Georgia? Now that the rebar is showing and the holes are getting bigger, will it take the bridge collapsing to get someone to see the need for repair? There is a lot of traffic on that bridge and it needs immediate help; not just some asphalt thrown into the hole.
I'm dead
I applied for a credit card before Christmas and received in the mail that I couldn't be given any credit because Experian said I was deceased.

Sloan Research Fellowships is by far the oldest program of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, although those who receive the grants are among the youngest researchers the Foundation assists. The Fellowship program has grown in size and cost over the years and now includes several disciplines not covered in the beginning; its purpose – to stimulate fundamental research by early-career scientists and scholars of outstanding promise - remains the same.
The Sloan Research Fellowships were established in 1955 to provide support and recognition to scientists, often in their first appointments to university faculties, who were endeavoring to set up laboratories and establish their independent research projects with little or no outside support. Financial assistance at this crucial point, even in modest amounts, often pays handsome dividends later to society. Originally called the Program for Basic Research in the Physical Sciences, the Fellowships were first announced in 1955 with the award of monies totaling $235,000 to 22 physicists, chemists and pure mathematicians at 16 universities and colleges.
Over the first 17 years of the program, Sloan Research Fellowships were awarded in physics, chemistry, and mathematics. Additional fields were added in subsequent years: neuroscience in 1972, economics in 1980, computer science in 1993, computational and evolutionary molecular biology in 2002, and ocean sciences in 2012. The Foundation currently awards 126 Sloan Research Fellowships each year, bringing total grants in the program to $5.9 million annually. Since the beginning of the program, the Foundation has spent nearly $119 million for support of over 4,200 early-career researchers. Under present operating procedures the total number of Fellowships is allocated as follows: 23 for physics, 23 for chemistry, 20 for mathematics, 16 for neuroscience, 16 for computer science, 8 for economics, and 12 for computational and evolutionary molecular biology and 8 for ocean sciences.
Selection procedures for the Sloan Research Fellowships are designed to identify those who show the most outstanding promise of making fundamental contributions to new knowledge. Sloan Research Fellows, once chosen, are free to pursue whatever lines of inquiry are of the most compelling interest to them. Their Sloan funds can be applied to a wide variety of uses for which other, more restricted funds such as research project grants cannot usually be employed. Former Fellows report that this flexibility often gives the Fellowships a value well beyond their dollar amounts.
Aside from the monetary aspect of the Fellowships, less tangible benefits have been cited by former Fellows. The early recognition of distinguished performance which the Fellowships confer, after years of arduous preparation, was said to be immensely encouraging and a stimulus to personal and career development. Thirty-nine Sloan Research Fellows have won Nobel Prizes later in their careers, and hundreds have received other honors.

DENVER � A proposal to let illegal immigrant students pay in-state tuition at Colorado colleges got its first-ever Republican votes in the state Senate on Friday after a decade of failures for the bill.
Just a handful of years ago, the bill couldn�t even pass the Democratic-controlled Senate. But Friday�s vote puts Senate Bill 33 on track to pass the Legislature by this spring.
Two freshmen Republican senators supported the bill, and one of the Legislature�s senior members � Sen. Greg Brophy, R-Wray � said he has had a change of heart after getting to know the children of illegal immigrants in his Eastern Plains district.
The bill allows young people who crossed the border illegally with their parents to pay in-state tuition at public colleges, as long as they attended a Colorado high school for three years and graduated, and take steps toward becoming legal citizens.
Brophy talked about a student he knows who, Brophy said, at the moment was a net recipient of Colorado tax dollars thanks to his free public education. Without this bill, Brophy said, the boy wouldn�t be able to contribute much to society.
�He should be an engineer. He should be making $150,000 a year instead of $20,000, and then he would be paying us back in spades for his subsidized education,� Brophy said.
Despite his arguments, the bill remains controversial.
Sen. Kevin Lundberg, R-Berthoud, helped lead the opposition.
�Make no doubt about it. Amnesty starts today here in the policies for the state of Colorado,� Lundberg said.
Other Republicans questioned the bill�s claim that it would boost college budgets, without costing more taxpayer money.
Sen. Ted Harvey, R-Highlands Ranch, called it a �Jedi mind trick.�
�There are no illegal immigrants,� Harvey said. �Just move on. Don�t look at the numbers here.�
The bill died last year in the House, which was under Republican control at the time. But two other events have eased its way to passage this year.
First, President Barack Obama�s executive order last year allows young people without criminal records to apply for �deferred action� on deportation and get permission to stay in the country legally for a time.
And second, the politics on the issue changed after the November election. In Washington, a bipartisan group of senators is pushing for federal immigration reform, and Brophy echoed the arguments of some national Republicans on Friday.
�I want the GOP to become a Grand Opportunity Party,� he said.
Still, he acknowledged the tough politics.
�You have nothing to lose voting for this bill,� Brophy told Democrats, and then gestured to his party�s side of the chamber. �The folks over on this side of the aisle who vote for this bill are risking everything, politically speaking. It takes a lot of courage to vote for this bill.�
Republican Sens. Larry Crowder of Alamosa and Owen Hill of Colorado Springs also expressed support for the bill Friday.
Sen. Ellen Roberts, R-Durango, maintained her opposition. In-state tuition only offers false hope to students who will not be able to work legally after graduation, Roberts has said.
The bill passed the Senate on an initial voice vote, and a final roll call vote is scheduled for Monday.

For the third year in a row, the South Aiken High School boys' tennis team advanced to the Lower State championship. After near misses the past two seasons, the Thoroughbreds finally broke through with a rousing 4-2 victory over Region 5-AAAA rival Lexington to advance to Saturday's state championship match.
South Aiken (18-1) avenged its only loss of the 2013 campaign and won the season series against the Wildcats, 2-1. But for much of the match played at the Odell Weeks Tennis Center, it didn't look like the T-Breds would get over the hump and make the state championship. That's because at one point in the showdown, South Aiken players trailed in four of the six matches.
"It didn't look too good early. We were down and I thought this could be a long day," South Aiken head coach Rakesh Jasani said. "But this team has shown resilience all year. It's a special bunch. They're young, but they've been around and been together for a while. They support each other and it was a team effort."
It really took every last player to pull off the victory. Two of the matches were decided in third-set tiebreakers and another was determined by a tiebreaker at the end of the second set. In no coincidence, South Aiken won all of those narrow victories. That hasn't been the case in the past for the T-Breds, who often struggled in similar situations. Jasani said a greater focus on being better later in matches has paid off this season.
"It's who wants it more at that point," Jasani said. "We've become more comfortable in those situations. It doesn't faze them."
South Aiken needed the strong finish, because for the third time this season, the Wildcats (18-3) won the top two singles matches. Neither No. 1 singles player Jordan Dingle nor No. 2 Stefan Zotovic could defeat their opponents – Logan Adkins and Thomas Bryan respectively. Jasani said prior to the match he wasn't counting on wins in these spots, since Lexington had the upper hand in both regular-season showdowns. To their credit, both Dingle and Zotovic tried to rally, making the second sets very close before both fell 7-5.
That put the onus on the rest of the T-Breds to deliver. No. 5 singles player Jonny Bowman continued his strong play, winning the most lopsided match of the day 6-0, 6-2. But two other matches Jasani figured would be South Aiken wins – Preston Tiffany in No. 3 singles as well as the No. 2 doubles team of Zach Thatcher and Marko Zotovic – struggled at the start. Both lost the opening sets, creating doubt about the T-Breds' chances. But not in the mind of Tiffany.
"He was hitting good shots and I missed a few bog points," he said of his first-set loss. "But I was playing well and knew in the second set I could win if I played a little better. When I won that, I had momentum."
The momentum swing started with the No. 2 doubles match. Thatcher and Marko Zotovic rallied for a 2-6, 6-2, 10-7 win. When Petar Zotovic, playing in the critical No. 4 singles match overcame a 5-1 deficit in the second-set tiebreaker to win, momentum was clearly on the T-Breds' side.
He didn't realize it at the time, but Tiffany had the outcome of the match riding on his racquet. After splitting the first two sets 3-6, 6-3, Tiffany dominated the tiebreaker, prevailing 10-4 and setting off a celebration by his teammates who stormed his court.
"That was fun," he said. "I didn't know Petar had won. … I still can't believe it."
Jasani soon joined his players, celebrating the thrilling win that came after a dominant run through the first three rounds of the playoffs. South Aiken swept Blythewood and Summerville 6-0 before dominating Aiken 5-1. Winning a critical match with its season on the line was exhilarating, but posting back-to-back wins over top rivals Aiken and Lexington to advance to the state championship was icing on the cake.
"It could be sweeter," Jasani said. "These have been our arch nemesis' the last two years, so it means a lot. I'm proud of them, but there's still unfinished business."
That's a showdown with Dorman on Saturday at the Cayce Fitness & Tennis Center. Dorman won the state title in 2011 and knocked off Spring Valley in the Upper State championship.
"It's not going to get easier," Jasani said. "I expect a battle, but we're going to do our best to bring home a title to South Aiken. It's been a long time."

WASHINGTON � Several Durangoans visiting Washington, D.C. for the inauguration celebration today will have the chance to see their work come full circle.
For 16-year-old Hank Searfus, it�s the ultimate accomplishment.
Hank, a Durango High School junior and Fort Lewis College student, was an intern with Organizing for America-Colorado � a network of Obama supporters sponsored by the Democratic National Committee.
�It was two full years basically of work to get him elected,� he said during a phone interview from Washington. �This was the light at the end of the tunnel.�
Hank and his mother, Dr. Kicki Searfus, are in Washington for several days with tickets to the swearing-in ceremony, the official inaugural ball and a staff inaugural ball.
Hank plans to continue his work spreading Obama�s message when he returns to Durango, hoping to take a leadership role in Organizing for Action � formerly known as Obama for America.
�People come in for the president,� he said of his initial foray into the campaign. �They stay because of the organization. It�s something that you want to keep going back to.�
Kicki Searfus, 49, called her son�s work in the campaign �hugely transformative� for him.
�He hasn�t even learned to drive yet,� she said with a laugh.
Kicki Searfus also worked on Obama�s campaign, making phone calls and knocking on doors with her younger son, Oskar, 13, an eighth-grader at Miller Middle School.
Tiare Flora, 46, and her daughter Jessica, 27, also are former Obama campaigners from Durango in the capital for the inauguration.
Tiare Flora attended Obama�s first inauguration, but this is her daughter�s first.
�When you�re at the inauguration, it�s one of the most patriotic things you can do,� Tiare Flora said after picking up her tickets from U.S. Sen. Mark Udall�s office.
She called Obama�s re-election �a reaffirmation of what we wanted.�
�I feel really, really positive about the next 20 years,� she said.
Jessica Flora said Obama�s health-care changes really help her personally, as she is working toward a master�s degree in counseling and education.
�He is so inspiring, he�s totally changed things for us,� she said of her generation.
Monika Johnson, 24, grew up in Durango, but now lives in Washington. She said her time in Colorado inspired her to volunteer for both Obama campaigns. She was a canvassing captain in the most recent campaign and organized people in her neighborhood to visit southern Virginia.
She said she used her neighborly attitude from Durango and applied it to knocking on doors in Virginia.
�When it�s not an election season, we forget how much we have in common with Americans everywhere,� Johnson said. �We�re all each other�s neighbors.�
Michela Alire, 47, is looking to bring her community to the nation�s capital, as a member of the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe marching in the inaugural parade with the Native American Women Warriors.
�I�m excited to do this. I�m nervous,� she said. �I never thought that this is something I would be doing.�
Alire is part Southern Ute, part Ute Mountain Ute, and lives on the Ute Mountain Ute Reservation. She was an administrative specialist in the U.S. Army in the 1980s, stationed in East and West Germany.
Nine women and one auxiliary member from the Native American Women Warriors will march in their blue �jingle dresses� in the parade. The organization has 36 members, said vice president Julia Kelly of Billings, Mont., a retired command sergeant major in the U.S. Army.

DENVER � Breakfast at the desk isn�t just for grown-ups anymore. Colorado lawmakers are considering a bill to encourage more schools to serve the most important meal right in the classroom if necessary.
�It�s going to help with the attention span for kids that otherwise may be hungry and didn�t have breakfast,� said Colorado Springs Democratic Rep. Tony Exum, one of the sponsors of the legislation. The bill will get its first vote Monday at a House committee.
The legislation would require schools that have 70 percent of more students who qualify for free or reduced lunch to serve breakfast after the first bell of the day. Schools, from kindergarten to 12th grade, would have a choice on how and where to serve the meal.
�It can be during brief recess after the first bell, or it can be a grab-and-go, it can be while teachers are doing some instructional things, or doing announcements or something,� Exum said.
Schools already serve breakfast before classes begin, but Exum says that students don�t always get there on time to eat. He said schools that already serve breakfast after the bell, including those at an Adams County district, have found that more students eat breakfast than they did when the meal was served before classes started.
If the bill becomes law, it would be effective during the 2014 school year. Schools with fewer than 100 students, or schools in districts with fewer than 300 total students, would be exempted from the law, as would schools that don�t participate in the federal school lunch program.
Parker Republican Chris Holbert, a member of the education committee that will hear the bill, said when to serve breakfast should be left up to individual districts.
�That�s why we have local school boards that make the decisions for what�s for the community,� he said.
He said not every district may be interested in the new directive and used his school district, Douglas County, as an example. Douglas County is one of the most affluent parts of the state.
�In my house, I think my wife and I would not have an interest in the schools that our sons attend in devoting time and attention to that because we do that. Is that everyone? No. I would never presume to say that that�s right for everyone,� he said.

"I'm just average, common too"
By Anthony Castrovince/MLB.com
On Twitter: @Castrovince
Chris Perez said something the other day during the Tribe's short-lived stint in the national media (a product, naturally, of their annual visit to the Bronx) that rightly caught the attention of one of the astute writers over at Let's Go Tribe.
And no, it had nothing to do with LeBron, the Browns or attendance.
This is what Perez told Tyler Kepner of the New York Times, when pressed to explain the Indians' ability to stay in the AL Central race despite what is currently a minus-51 run differential (second-worst in the league):
"It's been kind of weird, honestly," Perez said. "If we're ahead after five, we win. And even if we're down by one or two, it seems big. It's just one of those anomalies."
With all due respect to Perez, who remains this clubhouse's go-to guy for catch-all (and sometimes controversial) quotes, there's nothing weird or anomalous going on here. As easy as it is to be negative at a time when the Tribe has just been handed its hat by basically the worst (Astros) and the best (Yankees) baseball has to offer, roughly 46 percent of the season has been played, and certain conclusions can be drawn.
Here's one conclusion I'm willing to reach at this juncture: The Indians are a very average team in a very awful division.
Now, keep in mind, this is not necessarily a deal-breaker. Baseball, after all, is set up in such a manner that all you have to do is set your foot in the door in October and anything can happen. This year, there will be added value to a division win, in that it will grant you a first-round best-of-five with a Wild Card entry that just exhausted its best available pitcher in a one-game play-in. The winner of what is currently a sluggish Central (where a .533 winning percentage currently gives you a 2 1/2-game edge and four of five teams have a negative run differential) will have a distinct advantage over the runner-up in, say, the vastly superior AL East (where a .533 winning percentage places you 6 ½ back and four of five teams have a positive differential).
Unfortunately, the division in which they reside is the best thing these Indians have going for them these days, because these are the facts — the excruciating minutiae, to use one of our old favorite phrases here — staring them in the face:
- Dating back to May 1, Indians pitching has a 4.83 ERA, worst in the American League and better only than the 5.80 mark posted by the Rockies. (You know, the guys who regularly pitch in Colorado.)
- Tribe starters, in that timeframe, have a 4.85 ERA, fifth-worst in the game.
- Ubaldo Jimenez has been better – much better – in June, going 2-2 with a 2.78 ERA in five starts. Likewise, Justin Masterson, who has a 2-3 record and 2.06 ERA in five starts. But this has been countered, in a big way, by the drastic steps back taken by Derek Lowe (6.44 June ERA), Josh Tomlin (6.75) and the newly demoted Jeanmar Gomez. Really, at any given point this season, the Indians have basically been two-deep in the rotation, in terms of reliability. Combine that with the pedestrian assemblage in Columbus, and it's going to be awfully difficult to be counted as a contender without a rotation upgrade from the outside.
- Indians relievers not named Chris Perez, Vinnie Pestano or Joe Smith have a 5.54 ERA.
- To borrow a line from Rick Pitino, Grady Sizemore is not walking through that door. Not anytime real soon, anyway. At last check, he's still not even running.
- Carlos Santana has nine extra-base hits in his last 177 plate appearances. He's hitting .177 on the road. The Indians have so much of their future wrapped into Santana's development that his continual decline is jarring and unacceptable, particularly considering he's one of only two switch-hitters in an otherwise left-leaning lineup.
- Oh, and that lineup, you probably noticed, has a collective .624 OPS against lefties. It's hard to put together any kind of sustained winning streak when 33 percent of the league pitches with its left hand. The Indians are, famously, 5-16 when the opponent uses a left-handed starter — even when that left-handed starter breaks his ankle midway through the game.
- The Tribe's depth (or lack thereof) is such that Aaron Cunningham (.484 OPS) has survived on the roster all year. It's apples and oranges, sure (and I'm not trying to pick on Aaron Cunningham, just the lack of depth), but I'm compelled to randomly point out that Cliff Lee has a .542 OPS.
There are other negatives, and there are certainly positives not being mentioned here. But the Indians are 16th among MLB's 30 teams in runs per game and 28th in ERA. They are not a bad baseball team, but they are not a very good one, either. They are exceedingly average. And in the AL Central, to date, that's been enough. I'm not sure how long that will be the case.
6 Comments
They're going to have to pay for a bat and hope the starting rotation settles down. They really can't afford to get a bat and an arm, and any trade they make is going to have to involve taking on a bunch of salary, because they won't be able to offer much else.
They do have a decent number of right handed relievers in AAA but, again, that's not going to get them a hitter and a starter.
They could actually make a decent run at the division if the rotation gets consistent and they get a right handed bat. We could probably survive with a three man bullpen if we have to, particularly if the rotation comes around.
it's going to be awfully difficult to be counted as a contender without a rotation upgrade from the outside.Indians relievers not named Chris Perez, Vinnie Pestano or Joe Smith have a 5.54

Holy crap............
2 for 1
Fasten your seatbelts people, we're going down to the wire!!!
Dirk is struggling in this one
BTW, this game illustrates why Blake shits on Kevin Love. Blake is clutch and a winner, Love is a loser. Blake actually tries on defense and isn't that bad, Love just pads his rebounds.
2 for 1 situation here- shoot it in about 10 seconds or less.
Few pages back I said last shot wins
BG with the BUckett.
BLAKE GRIFFIN! How clutch!
Blake Griffin what a MOVE for the layup!
Blake pis clutched!!!!!!!!!
Deandre jordan is the best rebounder in the nba! This mans been hoopin
Blake = MVP, MVP, MVP!
I see it as Blake stopped him cold in the fourth! COLD i tell you.
Blake unleashing the clutch gene!
WHAT A JOB by Jordan securing the rebound, then quickly gets rid of it to Paul!
there you go. i think. i think. i think we got this
Confident CP = MVP-caliber CP
Chris Paul nails BOTH, shhhhhhhhh.......
Great layup by BG. Great defense and 2 clutch fts by Paul. Looks like its our win .
Dallas just can't beat the Clippers, it is really weird
Blake got dirk scared to even make free throws ahahah
but. but but but but. I hope i didn't speak to soon when i said we have this win
Now,is this the type of game where you would have one of our guys immediately foul their worst shooter?
Blake playing great D on Nowitzki. Blake getting the call in the clutch and delivering off a beautiful spin move. He's evolving....
LOOK at that. CP and BG know how big this game is!!! Hug it out big boys. Hug it out!!!
*knocks on wood*
If blake can maintain this level of defense
the rest of the season and PO's
we will be in prime position to take it all this season.
That's our dynamic duo B!TCHES!!! Nice hug to put away the game, EAT THAT REFS!
JQuick is swear your reverse psychology is amazong. You diss this team and they come back
About FKN time they went to Blake
Best PG in the league
Yup Dirk even passed up a shot there he would have normally taken because Blake was owning him on D.
it was a nice spin move. Wright wasn't ready for it. his feet were glued to the ground
Game is not over. Just play defense and it should be though.
That's BS- DJ just went straight up. WOW. Whatever.
Did you see DJ running away from everyone in the inbound?
Looks like Blake's 20 point game will come to an end. Doesn't look like he minds though.
DJ the first player in like 30 seasons to get 1000 rebounds in a season!
Clutch Jamal = Best Jamal
Jamal hits a pair- game over.
jamal hitting freethrows and double fisting. blowing as much as turk licks
That's quite some feat- congrats to the big fella.
FINALLY. The team, Blake especially, stepped up and proved me wrong... that's all I needed to see.
Can someone tell me if DJ made those 2 free throws?
Dangit, the refs are calling fouls to the very end.
our guy has been proving these haters wrong. So happy for DJ!
foul blake foul blake foul blake give him 20
YES he did.

We�re familiar with puffs of white smoke proclaiming the election of a new pope. So here�s my question: Does the city of Durango have some sort of similar combustion-based signal to communicate when the new City Council is chosen? Sign me, Cardinal Sin
Unlike the Sistine Chapel, City Hall lacks a fireplace � though rumor has it that the reinstated La Plata Electric Association franchise fee will provide the city with ample funds to install wood-burning stoves in each office. Presumably, this is being done to offset the soaring cost of LPEA electric heating.
Chimney issues notwithstanding, City Clerk Amy Phillips never would burn ballots as the cardinals do after each pontiff poll.
Amy has to hold on to Durango�s ballots for a long time. �By law, we have to retain ballots for 26 months after the election,� she said. �We won�t be burning anything.�
That doesn�t mean the city couldn�t consider a conflagration proclamation.
Why not ask the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad to create white smoke on April 3, the day after municipal elections?
There�s a problem with that � the train normally billows black smoke. However, it could adopt the Vatican�s practice of adding chemicals to produce the appropriate-colored exhaust.
According to several reports, fire-tenders at the Sistine Chapel sprinkle potassium chlorate, lactose and pine resin on the burning ballots to ensure milky white smoke wafts over St. Peter�s Square. (To create black, they use potassium perchlorate, anthracene and sulphur.)
However, white smoke wafting through downtown and along the Animas River Trail might be mistaken as originating from cigarettes. And because the city banned tobacco-burning in public places, this might cause consternation.
There�s always the smoke-free option. The city could signal the election of a new council by draping white single-use plastic bags on the Florida Road roundabout bike sculptures.
That might not work, either, given local government�s keen interest in banning petroleum-based shopping sacks.
They did it again. Two city workers went through my single-stream recycling container before the big truck arrived. Are they really going to do this all the time? What a waste, what inefficiency! As if a small mistake now and then will mess up the whole process! Recycling advocates are careful anyway. They want to do the right thing. � Roman
The city is inspecting recycling precisely because people aren�t careful � despite the city�s sorting motto, �Do the right things.� More than a few of us include impudent impedimenta in curbside containers.
Durango�s blue barrels brim with plastic films, Styrofoam and glass, all of which the city doesn�t recycle under the new single-stream system.
Sadly, one �small mistake� does mess up the process.
�If the recycling truck picks up a blue container that contains glass or any of the other stuff we don�t recycle, we have to throw the entire truckload contents away. It�s contaminated and therefore useless,� said a city worker who didn�t want to be named.
�It�s a big problem, but it can be solved with education over time.�
The �precycling� inspection crews want to make sure inappropriate items are excluded.
Say you break a mirror and put it in your blue container. Not only would you have seven years of bad luck, but your recycling will be reprimanded.
�When we see stuff like glass in a container, we tag the container, note what was wrong and ask the owner to go through the recycling before we pick it up the next week,� the city worker said.
Inspectors will preemptively poke around until recyclers follow the guidelines, which can be found at www.durangorecycles.com
So put your left hand on the blue container, then raise your right hand and repeat: �I ain�t gonna taint.�
That ought to work.
On second thought, maybe the inspectors could keep patrolling for a couple more months.
Email questions to firstname.lastname@example.com or mail them to Action Line, The Durango Herald, 1275 Main Ave., Durango, CO 81301. You can request anonymity if you mention to those guys down the street that the city no longer picks up recycling left out in the rectangular blue bins so they need to stop setting it out on trash day.

The Clippers have the 15th and final spot available... Who should the Clippers sign for the remainder of the season???
Here's a list of some free agents:
Derek Fisher
Jonny Flynn
Gilbert Arenas
Antonio McDyess
Darko Milicic
Greg Oden
Tony Battie
Brad Miller
Ben Wallace
Most of these players are veterans except for Jonny Flynn, Darko Milicic, and Greg Oden... These three young players have either been injury prone or inconsistent but for that same reason these players can come cheap.
Low risk high reward type of players.
The Clippers can sign a third string point guard if CP3 happens to get injured again or a more solid back up center.
The two that caught my eye is Derek Fisher a solid hard working veteran leader and Darko Milicic a strong seven footer thats a defensive monster with a low post game.
My choice is Milicic...
Not bad picks in playoff tested clutch fisher and darko. I like brad miller on the list. He's a tough hard nosed player that can play one on one post defense, rebound, and shoot the mid range pretty well. He was also known as a pretty good passer for a center.
Yeah miller would get my vote barring any injuries. Replace odom for miller. We would have a backup squad of Bledsoe,Crawford,hill,miller,hollins.
A PG makes more sense than a Centre to me. We are much thinner on the ground in terms of point cover.
If a PG, fisher might be good. His playoff experience and clutch shooting would only help.
If a PG, fisher might be good. His playoff experience and clutch shooting would only help.
The only reason why I would choose a center over a point guard is because the Clippers struggle with rebounds... Darko can not only rebound but can be a defensive anchor and score. Milicic has a lot of potential and if there is something the NBA has learned this season is players being reborn with this Clippers squad like Crawford (Who had a terrible season with Blazers), Barnes (Who is having a overall career high with Clippers), and Odom (Everybody knows that story).
Miller would also be a solid back up center too... I just think Milicic will be a better fit but what Miller has over Milicic is the experience and that alone is important.
With that being said, If the Clippers choose to get the extra point guard instead than Derek Fisher would be a perfect fit.
if we sign miller we win the championship
Fisher is going to be a Thunder for the rest of the season again.
Fisher is going to be a Thunder for the rest of the season again.
He's signed for them has he? Where did you see that? I missed that piece of news.
DOH! Just saw it on Hoopsworld.
Marc Stein confirmed too... I don't want to say the Clippers missed out but Fisher would have been a solid candidate for that 15th spot
I'm actually glad we didn't sign that cheapshotting, front-running, family-exploiting POS Derek Fisher. I can't root for that guy. He's blatantly quit on and lied to two franchises and I'd rather not risk the distraction of becoming #3.
He's retired.
With all the pre-season hoopla I am surprised no one mentioned Adam Morrison is he still with the Trail Blazers? Not saying he'd be my choice but many on this board seemed to like him in pre-season.
Mutombo looks pretty good in those Geico commercials, maybe we can snag him?
Its smart to leave the spot open we have a ton of depth. So if injuries hit us hard at a certain spot we could sign a 10 day contract. What would happen if we signed a big and then are guard spot got hit with the injury bug. We would be **** out of luck and cant sign a d leaguer
We were already interested in Milicic this offseason.
something we can agree on. glad hes back with okc.
He could be DJ's mentor!!! lol
Don't sign anyone unless we need too.Some players are also coming back from China after the season there is over.Guys like T-Mac,DJ White,Gilbert Areans,and some others.Not jumping to sign any of them either but rather keep that spot open in case of an injury.
He's retired.
Yeah, he was crying when he was subbed out in his last NBA game.
BTW, I hope Keaton was just joking when he said that we will win the title just because of signing Miller.
Good point!
I think Delonte is a good backup PG/SG. He can play either.
I wish but apparently he has some pretty serious mental issues, which explains why he remains un-signed.
It's about time for Billups to hang it up. Sucks though. He can still shoot the rock. Grant Hill's looking real old too. Time to go. Re-sign Matt Barnes and Ryan Hollins. Let Turiaf walk and go after Byron Mullens. That would be a huge upgrade. I thought Lamar Odom did a helluva job, but for 8 mil I'd let him walk. If you want a player with a similar body type, then swoop up Earl Clark form the Lakers. Then our 2nd Unit can be reloaded with 2 guys that'll help Crawford and Bledsoe put the ball in the basket. In the meantime they should be looking to reload the 2 and 3 spots as well. That transition has to be made after the 2014 in Caron's case for sure, but the team really needs a starter at SG.......right now
I wouldn't mind keeping hollins, turiaf, odom, billups all for vet minimum. Good point, Earl Clark would be a good pickup for the right price. He's a pretty athletic, good defender and can shoot the 3. Plus he's young and improving. He played both the 3 and 4 for the lakers.

I had noticed several buses passing the top of the road at the Mount Pleasant Sorting Office, and thought that it would be a good idea to find one heading south, which would take me closer to Victoria railway station and home.
I walked a short way down the street and found the bus stop, and as luck would have it there was a bus direct to Victoria, the number 38. I had just missed one (I had seen it going past as I walked to the bus stop) and back home in rural West Sussex that would normally mean waiting another hour (or sometimes two) for the next one. Fortunately here in London the timetable said it would only be 4 to 6 minutes.
It has been a while since I travelled on a London bus, not that it is much different from any other bus, except that this one announced the upcoming stops to passengers. Anyway I sat down an relaxed, and before long we were stuck in traffic, but at least I was seeing more of the streets of London than I would on the Underground.
I sitting back enjoying the world outside the bus when I realised we were heading through the streets of Westminster, the area where Thomas KINGHORN (my 3x great grandfather) had lived. I strained to see the street names, trying to spot one I recognised.
We must have been travelling down Shaftesbury Avenue, because we turned left into Great Windmill Street (or one end of it) and I realised we were in the street where Thomas KINGHORN had lived! Not that much remained from the time when he was living here, but it was nice to be there anyway.
A bit further along I guessed we would pass the St James's Church, Piccadilly and sure enough we did. I caught a brief glimpse of the church and the colourful market outside, the church where four of Thomas KINGHORN's children had been baptised, including my 2x great grandmother Dorothy Isabella.
I could go home happy now, in fact I was over the moon, my escape by bus from Underground mayhem had turned into a genealogical sightseeing trip!

I was actually surprised to see that so many of you wanted to see this, but like with foundation, the texture of the product has a lot of impact on how best to apply it. My technique is actually a bit different than how I apply foundation so here's a step-by-step look at how I prefer applying BB Cream.
Skin 79 VIP Gold Triple Functions BB Cream (use code FRMHEADTOTOE for 5% off!)
NARS Concealer in Custard
Tarte Smooth Operator Powder
Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in Exposed
Lipstick is Urban Decay Naked
J. Crew bateau tee (similar/similar)
Nailpolish is Urban Outfitters polish in Hangover (similar/similar)
So for those of you new to "bb cream", they are Asia's answer to an all-in-one tinted moisturizer.
They give a natural coverage while giving additional benefits like sun protection, anti-aging properties, evening skin discoloration, and help to heal blemishes and unbalanced skin. I do have an overview review and post of several different kinds which you can check out here.
I show you the entire process in the video, but I'll break down my process into a few easy steps:

The last couple of weeks have been pretty quiet for my family history research. Apart from doing a little bit of filing, which took far longer than it should have, I haven't really done my family history work.
I have done quite a bit of reading and an awful lot ofworrying about what I should be doing, but not actually getting down to actually doing any research. It hasn't helped that there have been plenty of distractions this last couple of months.
I have been working longer hours recently, the weather has been fantastic enabling me to get out and do some walking (with lots of bank holidays providing me the opportunity to get out and about). On top of that we have entered lawn mowing season and several hours a week have been spent cutting my parent's grass.
So I haven't been sitting around doing nothing but I am starting to miss the pleasure of family history research. I am missing the excitement of waiting for a certificate to arrive, the sense of discovery in following a previously unexplored line or the challenge of overcoming a brick wall.
I need to try to get back into a routine again, of doing some family history research every evening after work. There are plenty of projects I could be working on at home, without having to get out to an archive. I am still supposed to be trying to find all my 5x great-grandparents and although I am going to be more reliant on visiting archives for this, there is still a lot I can do at home.
This week I am going to try to get a birth certificate ordered for one of the children of Thomas and Mary WELLER of Twineham, Sussex. This should give me Mary's maiden name and give me the confidence to explore this branch of my family tree with some certainty.
Whilst I am waiting for the certificate to arrive I need to get back into my DRAPPER/NICHOLLS research, if only in preparation for a visit to an archive. I know that visit probably won't be soon, but at least I can be ready for it when the time does come.
The other thing I want to work on is the Gun Inn/Farm in Blackboys, Sussex. Whilst organising my notes a couple of weeks ago I went through my notes from the license registers and need to tie all these together with newspaper reports and other census and directory information to create a history of the inn (technically it was actually a beerhouse).
I have a couple of other non-genealogy tasks to complete this week, but once I get them out of the way I am going to get stuck back in again!
