501 Crawford St, Houston, TX | Directions 7700229.756817 -95.357294
Neighborhoods: Downtown, Central
Plenty of cheap seats available. The – There are games all Memorial Day weekend, so you can take in a baseball game and have a hot dog and beer like a true American.
I was both shocked and astonished to find Minute Maid Park makes no accommodation for large people for whom the regular seating and standing an entire game is an issue
The Gift of Baseball – If your mom is like mine, she will love to go to the game as a Mother's Day present. She's always cheering for the Astros and getting all decked out even while watching the TV screen. Why not treat her with tickets to the ball park? With a quick stop at one of the restaurants around and maybe a beer in the park, it is just an amazing combination of sports and relaxing. Also, it is much better in person, when you feel the spirit and energy come over you. It is still early in the season and the Astros can only get better and better. This is a very practical gift for a very practical woman. I love my mom and I know that she will love it, especially if the Astros pull off a win. Afterward, we can round out the evening by visiting the Discovery Green and relax in the park while the traffic clears out of downtown.
Simply the Best in Baseball... – I've had the oppurtunity to explore 20 different MLB parks over the past few years, and clearly the "Juicebox" is the best. Parking is as easy as any stadium that I've been to. During the summer it's not unusual for it to feel like 110 or 115, so the roof is very necessary. It's pleasant during April, so it's nice to enjoy baseball outdoors in Houston. It doesn't take long to figure out that the seats are quite small, which is a compromise for the new intimate ballparks. What really makes it the best are the Astros fans. They're loud, but not obnoxious or drunk- for the most part. When the roof is closed, there is no louder stadium in baseball. A visiting fan can easily enjoy a game without any hassle. Love to see all of the unusual fan clubs around the stadium as well. I disagree with all who complained about the price. You've got to be smart and plan for trips to any stadium. I've been there 6 times and everytime spent a reasonable amount of money. Yeah parking is expensive if you park across the street, but you can buy a MMP parking pass for $15 and that makes it sooo easy to get on 59 or 45. Just stop complaining about price. Yes tickets to the dome were cheap, but the food was the same price and tasted bad, and you HAD to pay $20 to park and still had to walk a mile across Reliant Park to get into the dome. Don't even get me started on how long it took to get out of that God forsaken parking lot!!!
This $250 million downtown ballpark is a hit with fans enamored of its retro styling, up-close seating and retractable roof. – The Venue
The spectacular stadium, which opened in March 2000 as the Astros' new home, is built on the site of Union Station, a decaying rail depot, incorporating part of that structure as a cornerstone. There's even a decorative locomotive that chugs across a track above the left-field wall to celebrate game highlights. Criticized by baseball purists for its bandbox dimensions inviting easy home runs (315 feet down the left-field line), the field seems to please the average spectator.
The Experience
After decades of watching the game on artificial turf under glass at the cavernous Astrodome, fans appreciate the intimate, open-air (when the roof is retracted), real-grass setting. Playing a major role in the revitalization of a once-moribund downtown, Astros Field is developing into a civic as well as an athletic success story for Houston.
Go 'Stros – The Park never fails to show us a good time whether we win or lose....great food, great drinks, great atmosphere. For those who compain about prices, please try going to any other major league sporting venue...you'll notice every place is a little over the top these days. Minute Maid Park is clean, close to the action, modern, and the parking could be a heck of a lot worse!!!! Quit complaining and treat yourself to a game.
Sweet!;) – Minute Maid Park is sweet! Wherever you sit you really have a good view of the field and don't feel like you are miles away from the game like at the Dome.They have plenty of concession stands and gift shops.They usually have activities before and after the game that are interesting or involve the spectator. Also have "freebies" that are pretty cool for the first 10,000 to 15,000 fans etc. Ticket prices are very reasonable. The consessions offer pretty good food with a wide variety.Expensive though.If you sit too deep in right field you can't see the Nice BIG Scoreboard. I recommend sitting as close to the rail as you can wherever you sit. The Crawford Boxes are a plus! Have a great view as well as a great chance of catching a Home Run ball!
To Do – A Must-See in Houston, especially for any baseball fan! The baseball seats at the home plate entrance not only come in handy but are great for picture-taking!
Another opinion – Minute Maid Park is overall a great stadium. We have been season tocket holders since the joint opened. My biggest complaint is the lack of sufficient urinals! If you can't make it through the game, you just as well plan on missing an inning while waiting in line. The rumor is that the park is sitting on land owned by Ken Lay of Enron corruption fame. Evening sunsets make hard to see the first couple innings from the first base side.
Houston Got It Right With Minute Maid Park – Houston has gone the extra mile to assure this multiple award-winning ballpark solidifies its designation as one of the most impressive ballparks. You are guaranteed to feel apart of the action with the upclose seating concept incorporated into every seat in the house. The manual, field level scoreboxes are a pleasant nostalgic throwback, complimented nicely by the massive, eye-catching scoreboard high in right field. Timelessly the Astros Red steam locamotive whistles across the left-field stadium wall, celebrating home team highlights. A spectacle made even more memorable by the adjacent tower of glass providing form (destinguished west face of Minute Maid Stadium) and function (providing well-incorporated source of natural light). Furthermore, the food here continues to receive praise as some of the best ballpark eats around. Few parks have so masterfully recreated the pure fan experience that has made the game America's favorite pastime and current day Astros fans very happy.
Great Park – I have been to many MLB parks and this one is way at the top of the list. The roof retracting in the middle of the game was great. The gift shop was awesome. YOu have great access to get autographs before the game(and Craig Biggio always signs before game). Staf is really friendly. Food choices were great. Yes it is expensive but all MLB park food is. Parking is only bad if you show up 5 minutes before game time. Enjoy this park Houston. It is one if not the best in baseball.

"Anchorman: The Legend Continues" Fans of the 2004 cult comedy will be delighted to see that Ron Burgundy's back, along with Brick Tamland, Brian Fantana and Champ Kind. The teaser doesn't show much, but it shows what it needs to: Will Ferrell, Steve Carell, Paul Rudd and David Koechner in the same room, wearing funny clothes and being stupid. "Anchorman 2's" slated to come out sometime next year.
"Skyfall" Those of you who were disappointed by Bond's last outing, 2008's "Quantum of Solace," should be reassured by the teaser for "Skyfall." Little about the plot is revealed, nor what Skyfall means, but you do get to see Daniel Craig brooding, running, jumping, shooting, falling off buildings. And look! A creepy silhouette of villain Javier Bardem.
"The Master" In Paul Thomas Anderson's first film since 2007's "There Will Be Blood," a violent drifter (Joaquin Phoenix) becomes the right-hand man of a cult religious leader (Philip Seymour Hoffman). Brief but enticing, the trailer shows a very thin Phoenix lazing about the beach and getting a psych evaluation. It's 100 seconds of good ol' WTF that marks the return of one of America's greatest (and strangest) filmmakers. "The Master" hits theaters in October.

An animal's "behavior" is the product of its genetic composition, the environment in which the animal functions, and the animal's experience (ie, what it has learned given its previous genetic × environment interaction). This section focuses primarily on abnormal behavior of domestic animals and the methods used to diagnose behavior problems and modify behaviors in pets. For each group of domestic animals, the normal social and group behavior is outlined, followed by a description of common behavioral disorders.
Every animal has the basic needs of food and water, comfort, freedom from fear and pain, and the ability to express normal behaviors. Behavior, health, and welfare issues become a concern when these needs are not met. Behavior problems in pets lead to a weakened pet–owner bond and decreased owner commitment to pet care. They are a primary reason for pet relinquishment and euthanasia. Yet studies show that many owners do not report behavior changes to their veterinarian and most veterinarians neglect to inquire. Screening for any behavioral changes or emerging behavior problems should be done at each veterinary visit to ensure that the behavioral health, physical health, and welfare of the pet are being effectively and humanely managed.

Article Summary
For many people, commuting by bicycle is a fun, economical and healthy way of getting around. When their bike breaks down, they throw it in their car, drive it to the shop, then drive for several days until it's fixed. Some bicycle commuters, however, don't own cars. These people can't drive their bike to the shop, and have no independent means of transportation as long as their two-wheeler is gone. It is for people like these – and others – that Wyse Cycles exists. As far as its owner Ben Wyse knows, it's America's only self-propelled mobile bicycle repair service.

Merchant opened the game with a fly out to left field. Zahrn followed with a strike out, missing on a pitch from Johnson. Horan ended the top of the first with a high, fly ball to foul territory down the left line.
Dornbos opened the bottom of the first with a strikeout on Gironda. After taking a couple of pitches, Ramos grounded out to Sexauer for the second out. Kirkpatrick was the game's first base runner, looking at ball four on a full count. Grimes ended the inning with a chopper to Horan at second base, stranding one runner.
Johnson continued to pitch well in the second, opening the inning with a strike out on Darwin. DeLamielleure represented the Chippewas first base runner of the game, taking an inside pitch to the arm. Cox advanced DeLamielleure with a grounder to short for the inning's second out. With DeLamielleure on second and two outs, Sexauer battled off a few pitches before hitting a shallow fly to end the side.
Ledford started the second for the Flashes with a walk. Balodis attempted to move the runner over, but popped up a bunt that was chased down by Cox for out number one. Duffy laid down a bunt to move Ledford, but Dornbos was able to make the play over at second base, leaving a runner on first with two out. Warren ended the inning after fouling two pitches off to left, hitting a pop up to Sexauer.
Central Michigan will take the field again tomorrow against the Huskies (19-34, 7-15 MAC) at 5 p.m. The Chippewas swept Northern Illinois earlier this season on DeKalb, Ill.

Inflation adjusted Gasoline Prices
In 1969 gasoline was $0.35 a gallon but seven years later it had risen to $0.60 per gallon. And by 1980-81 everyone was suffering from sticker shock as gas prices rose above $1.00 for the first time. So in only 12 years, gasoline had risen a full dollar from $0.35 to $1.35. That is an increase of 286% in 12 years! Compare that to the price increase from 1998 where the average price was $1.02 and by July 2008 it had increased to $4.02 and you have a 294% increase in 10 years so it was even greater than the 1981 spike.
Price increases are obvious over short periods of time but because the overall purchasing power of the dollar has fallen, in order to compare the cost of gasoline over longer periods of time it is necessary to adjust the price for inflation.
In 1981 that $1.35 would be the equivalent of $3.47 in inflation adjusted terms for June 2013 dollars.
When we look at gas prices from our own personal perspective we only see a small window of 4 or 5 years at most. Rarely do we even consider a 10 year timeframe. Therefore, we might assume that gas prices "always go up." But if we look at the big picture in inflation adjusted terms we will will get quite a different picture, as we can see from the chart above. Yes, the black "nominal price" is always rising but in inflation adjusted terms gas is no more expensive than it was in 1918 but it is considerably higher than it was in 1998 when it reached an all-time low in inflation adjusted terms.
Except for a few short term spikes, gas in inflation adjusted terms, was actually trending downward from 1918 through 1972. Which is to say that the cost of living based on other things increased in price more than gasoline over that period. But then over the next decade it regained almost all it had lost over the previous 50 years. Then from 1980 - 2000 gasoline fell to new lows on an inflation adjusted basis. But since then gasoline has caught back up with other prices and is now back where it was in 1918.
Amazingly the average inflation adjusted gasoline prices for the following peak years were amazingly similar. 1918 was $3.87, 1938 was $3.31, 2008 was $3.49, the average for 2011 was $3.48 and for 2012 was $3.56. All of the peaks are very close when adjusted for inflation. So looking at just those years we might get the idea that the average price of gasoline in inflation adjusted terms was about $3.50 a gallon but that is not correct.
The Average Inflation Adjusted Price of Gas
The average price of a gallon of gas from 1918 to the present is $2.60 in June 2013 inflation adjusted dollars. So it is safe to say that anytime during that period that the price of gas was above $2.60 in inflation adjusted terms it was expensive and whenever it was below that price it was cheap. So obviously when it reached $4.00 a gallon in July 2008 it was expensive. And with the average for 2013 at $3.51 we are once again expensive.
If we look at the average annual Inflation adjusted gasoline prices for each of the following years (ending in "8") we see several of the "8" years are above average and several are below the average.
Inflation Adjusted Gasoline Prices
So if the long term average price is $2.60 then at $1.89 in 1988 gas was very cheap and in 1978 it was only slightly below average but in 1981 (at an inflation adjusted $3.47) but in 2008 it was extremely expensive on a historical basis.
People are Intuitive
In 1998, overall price inflation made it look like gasoline prices were rising, so most people didn't realize that gas was actually cheap on a historical basis. But they knew it intuitively since a smaller portion of their budget was going toward gasoline. In fact, gas had gotten really cheap by historical standards allowing people to buy gas guzzlers like SUV's and Hummers. But that reversed in 2008 as prices rose above the long term average. Fortunately, prices fell in 2009 - 2010 but in 2011-2013 gas was once again expensive.
Annual Averages
Remember that these are average annual prices and individual months had much higher averages and on a weekly or daily basis prices could (and did) spike much higher (and lower).
For Example: According to the US Energy Information Administration the average price of a gallon of gasoline in the month of May 2011 cost $3.91 ... although many places like California people would have been glad to find gasoline for $3.91 a gallon. So in addition to averaging over time it is also averaging over the whole country.

Gasoline Money Saving Tip:
One way to save money on Gasoline is to use a cash back credit card with an extra bonus for gasoline purchases. Some cards can save you 5%. A 5% cash back can reduce $3.91 to $3.71. Saving 20¢ a gallon may not sound like much but if your tank holds 15 gallons that is $3.00 per tank. If you fill up twice a week that is over $300 a year ($3.00 x 2 x 52).
We have compiled a list of cards that give Rewards on Gasoline purchases. See which Gasoline reward card is best for you here.
Inflation Indexed Bonds (i-Bonds) are supposed to protect you from inflation while providing a reasonable return. How well have they done?
I just got the following comment from Doug S.
I saw the chart on how gas prices
haven't really risen when considered with inflation.
I am 61 years old, and when I was working in
the mid- to late-60s as a high school student, I made
$1.60 an hour as minimum wage.
Gas was only .25-.35 per gallon (with 'gas wars',
much of the time cheaper) so with one hour of work I
could purchase 5-6 gallons of gas.
Now, with a minimum wage of
Based on what I have read, a loaf of bread might have gone up 5-6 times. I do know that you can use figures to make any point you want, but I am not convinced that gas is matching inflation and is 'less or about the same' inflated price as it was 40 or 50 years ago. This is garbage. Doug S.
My response:
I don't recall saying that gas is currently cheap or that it is less or about the same as 50 years ago. Although it is about the same as 1918.
If you look at the chart you will see that gas prices in inflation adjusted terms were at one of their lowest points in the 1960's declining from $2.50 in 2013 dollars in 1960 down to $2.00 in 1970 during the gas price wars that you mentioned. So compared to that specific time-frame, yes prices have increased. However, in 2000, when the inflation adjusted price was only $1.50 you could just as well have said that prices have declined since 1960.
What I said was, most people use a fairly short term perspective of only the most recent few years and so things look especially bad right now because prices have risen drastically since 2000. But if you compare prices to 1918, 1981 or 2008 we are currently near those peak levels. I also said that the average price from 1918 through 2013 was $2.56 (in 2013 dollars) and so anytime gas prices were above that level it is expensive (now) and anytime it was below that level gas was cheap in historical terms (i.e. 1960 -1970 and 1986-2002).
As far as your argument regarding minimum wage, although interesting in a practical sense, it is based on a faulty premise. That is that the minimum wage is somehow related to real prices. The minimum wage is an arbitrary construct of the government based on political posturing. Congress can set it at anything it wants to and only changes it sporadically, so at any given time it could be too high or too low compared to inflation. If tomorrow the government mandated that the minimium wage was $20 would that mean that gasoline is now cheap in historical terms? What if the economy is doing well and even McDonalds has to pay more than minimum wage in order to attract workers? How does that affect your argument regarding the price of gas? No, in historical terms gasoline is still expensive whenever it is above $2.56 a gallon in 2013 adjusted dollars and cheap when it is below.
If you wish to compare prices to purchasing power, a better measure would be average income or median household income because they are based on actual market based prices rather than on an artificial government construct. ~Tim McMahon, editor

Watched the match and considering haven't played at all, well she is doing pretty good and I see her playing very smart Tennis. Although her serve, especialy her 2nd serve, wasn't quite there but still able to produce few Aces. Overall great result and Good for you Maria.
Best of luck throughout this tournament.
Well done! what a score 6-0 6-0! First match was amazing I hope Maria goes on like this!Go Go Maria
If she had played somebody in the top 40 and achieved the same score line, I would have been impressed. But, since it was an unknown qualifier, ranked 107, who had already played 3 tough matches last week, I dont see it as a real achievement. I'll reserve my judgement until she plays a 'real' player. Looks like the interviewers are getting more and more stupider every year.
Girls of Russia & the Near Abroad playing Tuesday:
ALSO (not broadcast)
Maria was rusty first couple of games. After that she just sailed along. Impressed with her aces after her collar bone injury scare. Less DFs too. Overall, great first round match all things considered. Could have benefitted from a more competitive match but who's complaining? Bring on the next contender!
That would be Misaki Doi--okay, but she had to work to get past an ill, then injured Petra Martic.
First real competition would be Venus.
LIKE the dress--the iridescent thing going on there
An other mile stone in Maria's career is that she is in a exclusive small group of players who have won a double bagel match in each Grand Slam tournament. A great statement, a legency to continue, lol !!! I love writing too Maria.
Not up so far, I don't think. Here's the Twitter image:
If you have seen Serena during the match of Venus on Monday, you know why she is the drama queen of tennis.( Gatorate promotion on court). If you twist your ankle, you eighter stop play or continue. That you win with 6-0, 6-0 says enough. Serena you are in the wrong part of the world at the moment, you belong to Hollywood.
Ps; Does anyone has news about Doi ?? What kind of player is she and what do you expect from this match ?

Creating a fairer Britain
The key points this guide explains are:
An Employment Tribunal can decide a complaint involving unlawful discrimination in a work situation.
Employment Tribunals can also decide cases about:
An Employment Tribunal can only hear a case from a member of the armed forces if their service complaint has been decided.
A worker must bring their claim within three months (less one day) of the claimed unlawful discrimination taking place.
There are two situations where this is slightly different:
If a worker brings a claim after this, it is up to the Employment Tribunal to decide whether it is fair to everyone concerned, including both the employer and the worker, to allow a claim to be brought later than this.
When a claim concerns behaviour over a length of time, the time limit starts when the behaviour has ended.
For example:
An employer operates a mortgage scheme for married couples only. Someone who is a civil partner would be able to make a claim for unlawful discrimination because of sexual orientation to a tribunal at any time while the scheme continues to operate in favour of married couples or within three months of the scheme ceasing to operate in favour of married couples.
If the worker is complaining about a failure to do something, for example, a failure to make reasonable adjustments, then the three months begins when the decision was made not to do it. If there is no solid evidence of a decision, then the decision is assumed to have been made either:
For example:
A wheelchair-user asks their employer to install a ramp to enable them to get over the kerb between the car park and the office entrance more easily. The employer indicates that they will do so but no work at all is carried out. After a period in which it would have been reasonable for the employer to commission the work, even though the employer has not made a positive decision not to install a ramp, they may be treated as having made that decision.
A tribunal can hear a claim if it is brought outside the time limit if the tribunal thinks that it would be 'just and equitable' (fair to both sides) for it to do this.
The standard of proof in discrimination cases is the usual one in civil (non-criminal) cases. Each side must try to prove the facts of their case are true on the balance of probabilities, in other words, that it is more likely than not in the view of the tribunal that their version of events is true.
If someone is claiming unlawful discrimination, harassment or victimisation against you, then the burden of proof begins with them. They must prove enough facts from which the tribunal can decide, without any other explanation, that the discrimination, harassment or victimisation has taken place.
Once they have done this, the burden shifts onto you to show that you or someone whose actions or omissions you were responsible for did not discriminate, harass or victimise the person making the claim.
The main remedies available to the Employment Tribunal are to:
For example:
Providing a reference or reinstating the person to their job, if the tribunal thinks this would work despite the previous history.
The Employment Tribunal can also make a recommendation requiring the employer to do something specific within a certain time to remove or reduce the bad effects which the claim has shown to exist on the wider workforce (although not in equal pay cases). This might be particularly applicable where the claimant has already left that employer so any individual recommendation would be pointless.
For example:
If the recommendation relates to an individual and if an employer does not do what they have been told to do, the tribunal may order them to pay compensation, or an increased amount of compensation, to the claimant instead.
In cases of indirect discrimination, if you can prove that you did not intend what you did to be discriminatory, the tribunal must consider all of the remedies before looking at damages.
The tribunal can also order you to pay the legal costs and expenses of the person bringing the claim on top of your own legal costs and expenses, although this does not often happen in Employment Tribunal cases.
Taking legal proceedings can be a stressful and time consuming experience. It may be in the best interest of everyone to try to settle a dispute i.e. reach an agreement with your worker where possible to avoid going to an employment tribunal hearing (or the court where the case relates to an occupational pension scheme). There are three ways in which a dispute can be settled:
Before a claim is issued by your worker in the employment tribunal, you can agree to settle a dispute directly with them. An agreement to settle a dispute can include any terms that you agree with the worker and can cover compensation, future actions by you and the worker and other lawful matters.
For example:
A worker raises a grievance with her employers alleging a failure to make reasonable adjustments. The employer investigates the worker's complaint and upholds her grievance. The employer agrees with the worker to put the reasonable adjustments in place and offers her a written apology, which she accepts.
You may also seek assistance from Acas which offers a conciliation service for parties in dispute, whether or not a claim has been made to an employment tribunal.
For example:
A worker raises a grievance with her employer alleging sex discrimination. The employer dismisses her grievance. She makes a claim to the tribunal but before the hearing she seeks assistance from Acas to conciliate in the dispute. As a result of the conciliation, the worker and her employer agree to settle the claim on terms which are agreeable to both of them.
You and the worker can also settle a claim or potential claim to the Employment Tribunal by way of a 'qualifying compromise contract'. There are specific conditions which must be satisfied if a claim is settled in this way:

May 05, 2009
Are you ready to be the coolest parent ever?That may be what the kids call you after you throw your tween a rock star slumber party, thanks to games such as Rock Band and Guitar Hero World Tour.Granted, these games are needed for the party to work, which means having one of the three newish gaming consoles out there: the Nintendo Wii, the Playstation 3 or the Xbox 360.Provided you have the equipment, you can now start planning the slumber party your tween will hopefully remember for the rest of their life.In terms of the guest list, be sure to keep it small. Ideally, three to four would be good since it would allow everyone to play an instrument (two guitars can be used for one band). If that isn't possible, then be sure to have enough party goers for two bands, allowing each to take turns.As for invitations, mirror them after concert tickets or posters. As an added creative bonus, give the slumber party a music festival-sounding title that incorporates the name of your tween, like Mitch-apalooza or Kelly-chella.Finally, give your neighbors a break and have the band rehearse in the basement.

I just had a baby Tuesday via c-section and am still at the hospital with him. He has developed swollen, red eyelids that he can't even open. They were fine upon birth. I had our pediatrician look at him yesterday, but he just says it will go away. But it's not looking any better at all. I'm so stressed. Have any of you heard of this?

Preventable hospital-acquired conditions (HAC) persist as a major quality and cost of care problem more than a decade after the seminal Institute of Medicine Report, "To Err is Human" found that nearly 98,000 patients die each from medical errors. The Institute for Healthcare Improvement has been a recognized leader in efforts to reduce these errors through the 100,000 Lives and 5 Million Lives Campaigns. More recently, the Partnership for Patients established a goal of reducing preventable hospital-acquired conditions by 40 percent.
Medicare no longer pays hospitals for treating certain secondary diagnoses if they are not present on admission (POA). The following parameters are used by Medicare to identify HACs, including some infections, for non-payment:
Please click here for an overview of the HAC rule as well as the Agency's plans to add to the list in the future.
Hospital-Acquired Conditions Fact Sheet
Present on Admission Indicator Reporting Fact Sheet
A provision was included in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) that requires Medicare to reduce payments to hospitals in the top 25th percentile for certain high-cost and common HACs. This payment adjustment is in addition to payment penalties faced by hospitals under 1) the preexisting HACs-POA policy and 2) a Hospital-Value Based Purchasing Program that is supposed to be up and running by 2013.
The ACA also requires that Medicare submit a report to Congress on the appropriateness of establishing a HAC policy for other healthcare providers. The following healthcare provider will be included the report: nursing homes, inpatient rehabilitation facilities, long-term care hospitals, outpatient hospital departments, ambulatory surgical centers, and health clinics.

As I said, didn't mean to be a prick!
I think that in this format, two selections in a round gives you a distinct advantage for that particular round. In a "normal" draft, if you time out you might miss an opportunity to secure a player if someone takes him before you, so there is a slight penalty for being late. In this one, seeing all things are equal at the commencement of each round, having two picks in one round effectively doubles your chances for that round of securing a player. If you want a spinner, you can choose the best and second best available, and you have a higher chance of securing one or the other, than other players who haven't missed a round. It seems a reward for missing a round almost.
Just my thoughts, it seems like as we progress there could be a distinct advantage in missing a round then having two picks in the following round. I don't mind either way, but yeh...
And I understand it's meant to be fun....not trying to make it un-fun!

Make it so both players have to pass.
If somebody has to pick two players then they have to nominate Player A and Player B.
For those picking one player, they're all effectively picking Player As.
Jager will firstly consider all Player As in the usual manner and then he will consider Player B from the twice-picking player against all other pickers.
Example. Alan, Brad and Colin (Brad picking twice).
A - Neil Harvey
B - Chris Pringle, Neil Harvey
C - Chris Pringle
A - Neil Harvey
B - Michael Slater, Mark Boucher
C - Mark Boucher
A - Neil Harvey
B - Michael Slater, Archie Jackson

B]A - Neil Harvey[/B]
B - Michael Slater, Archie Jackson
C - Mark Boucher
In this format, it is not a matter of simply "making up" a pick. It doubles your chance for a round. So rather than picking after your allocated time with a smaller pool of players to choose from (as in a standard draft where everyone sees everyone's selections), you are given a full pool of available players in a fresh round, with double the picks of other drafters. Sure, you may have missed on players in the previous round, but you now have a distinct advantage in the current round over other drafters, which to me seems a slightly unfair reward for missing a round....
Did we decide on 12 hours, or sticking with 24, in the end?
First round 24, repick rounds 12.
I forgot to say sent - "sent"
R4.2 commences. 12 hour selection period here.

In regards to Prez's selections, he gave me two selections. His first one was awarded here and his second is now pending against everyone else who needs to pick now. Cevno needs to put up two selections as well, which I believe Marcuss is doing for him.

You can be the 'captain speaking' with a 30-minute jet simulator experience! Take-off and save 61%!
- Highlights
- Fine Print
- Company
- Become pilot of your very own 737 and rule the cockpit, with a flight simulator experience for only $69!
- You're the captain on this flight at Jet Flight Simulator, and you're saving a first-class 61%!
- Control the action in this 30-minute simulation, with a real pilot by your side to show you the ropes!
- Choose between Surfers Paradise or Newstead locations!
- It even includes a pre-flight briefing and hands-on experience that'll see you take off, practise handling techniques and even land the aircraft!
- Great for all skill levels – from aviation amateurs to professional pilots!
- Today you save a sky-high $106 and take to the air with a simulator experience, COMPLETE with certificate of participation! Bring it on!
What We Like
Pilots are a bit like dentists in those toothpaste commercials, in that they seem to have that enigmatic 'we can't show you their face' air of mystery. We trust they'll get us to our required destination safely yet we never get to see what's behind that secretive cockpit door. We'd also like to meet the person behind those mediocre in-flight meals, but that's an issue best left for another occasion!
Today you not only get to meet a pilot but you'll become captain of the cockpit too, thanks to the team at Jet Flight Simulator in Brisbane. All you pay is an economical $69 and in return you get to experience life in the driver's seat (or rather, flyer's seat!) of a 737, with a 30-minute adventure in a jet flight simulator! You save a first-class 61% and choose between their Surfers Paradise and Newstead locations!
And we're not talking about a child's-play, Wii-inspired experience here; this is a REAL flight simulator – the kind that professional pilots use to practise with when they're not in the air. And as all captains need co-pilots, you'll have your very own to guide you through this exhilarating, hands-on journey! They'll even give you a pre-flight briefing to begin with as you prepare to ascend!
The engines will roar as you burn rubber, taking off the runway and lifting the huge aircraft toward the skies! Once you're jetting through clouds, the ground but a distant memory, the time is yours to practise various turns and handling techniques. Just make sure you warn the crew if there's any turbulence ahead!
You even get to land the big girl, which will prove a whole lot more exciting than parking your four-door in the shopping centre car park! And as no aerial adventure is worth braving without some proof, the team will even hand you a certificate of participation!
Today you call the shots and pilot your very own Boeing 737, all with a top-notch $106 saving!

TRAVIS COUNTY -- One high school senior from Central Texas is raising money and awareness for breast cancer after the disease struck close to home.
Friday Night Football is where rivals rumble and players keep score, but in Lake Travis it's also a place where students have found a purpose greater than the game.
"It's just amazing," said Robert Faubion.
Faubion is a senior at Lake Travis High School and wise beyond his years.
"People can be taken in a snap. It's pretty eye-opening actually," he said.
For a few years now he's helped organize pink days at Lake Travis High School. October 4 was the football team's turn.
"Just looking out here and looking at the players, everybody has pink on and supporting it," said Faubion. "It feels pretty good."
There's so much more to this school's spirit. Their inspiration comes from the sidelines from Robert and his mom.
"It brings a tear to my eye," said Gina Faubion. "The pink means something to me. It's my survivorship."
Gina is a two-year breast cancer survivor.
"I can't even describe how scared I was," she said.
In 2009 she felt a lump, but a doctor told her it was nothing, so she waited another year and a half.
"Komen was doing a mammogram in Lakeway, and I thought, 'I'll just come in and get it checked out.' That's when I found out it was most definitely breast cancer," said Gina.
A lumpectomy, chemotherapy and radiation soon followed.
"I just thought, 'What is the future going to be for him or for me?'" she said.
It was a grueling year of treatment. She lost her hair, felt lousy, but persevered with the help of her son Robert.
Now cancer free Gina feels like she's scored in more ways than one.
"I'm glad to call myself a survivor for sure," she said.
She also honored to have a son who's inspiring a new generation to appreciate every single moment.
"Cherish life basically and not really take anything for granted, because tomorrow it could all be gone," he said.
Those are life lessons you don't often learn on the field.
Robert is one of the Fab 15, 15 co-survivors and survivors raising awareness this year as part of the 15th anniversary of the Austin Race for the Cure. KVUE invites you to join us Sunday Nov. 10. To register go here.
Dig Pink Day
Friday night (Oct. 11) the Lake Travis volleyball team hosts Bowie at 5 p.m. for Dig Pink Day. Proceeds from T-shirts and food will go to Susan G. Komen Austin.

I loved this book. It may be YA, but it has so many elements that appeal to all audiences. First, it may be about cancer, but it isn't sappy (no Nicholas Sparks here!), it feels very real. The author does a very good job of creating characters with cancer, with real emotions; anger, fear, diminishing hope. Secondly, a short review would state that this book is a page turner and a tear jerker, but it is so much more than that. An insight into human nature, with characters you can't help but adore with empathy. It is hard to put down. Lastly, it gives so much perspective. I can imagine many readers, such as myself, walk away from the book a little more grateful for the beauty of life. Highly recommended for anyone!
Last night, I crawled into bed at midnight. I'd received notice that a library book I hadn't yet started was due the next day. Since I wasn't quite ready to sleep, I thought I'd read the first chapter and see if it was worth paying a fine in order to finish it. I opened The Fault in Our Stars by John Green.
It's told in first person, from the point of view of a sixteen-year-old girl named Hazel who has terminal cancer. I didn't want to read something depressing nor did I want something falsely sweet. Hazel quickly wiggled into my heart, pulling me along with her brilliant humour, insightfulness, honesty, and truth. I was soon holding my duvet over my mouth to muffle my laughter and not wake my husband. I finally forced myself to shut the book at 2:00 AM.
I looked forward to finishing it all morning, hoping it would not become overly sentimental or callous or religious. It did not disappoint. The characters are beautiful and flawed. They surprise, amuse, and inspire. There are no pat answers to the tragedy of young death, just possibilities and simple, but powerful, realities.
By far, the best book, young adult or not, that I have read in a long time. I so wish I could give it six out of five stars. I am immediately getting John Green's other book.
Oh my goodness, I have never cried so much in years! Can't even imagine going to a theatre to watch this movie.
Overall, THE best book I've read this entire challenge.
Allison Hunter Hill (VOYA, April 2012 (Vol. 35, No. 1))
Hazel Grace is a sixteen-year-old cancer patient, caught up in the effort it takes to live in a body that everyone knows is running out of time. When she reluctantly agrees to return to her local teen cancer support group to satisfy her mother, the last thing she expects is an encounter with destiny. New to the group, Augustus Waters is handsome, bitingly sarcastic, and in remission. He is also immediately taken with Hazel, and what begins as a casual friendship soon escalates into a full romance. Through an impressive exchange of books and words, philosophies and metaphors, Hazel and Augustus tear apart what it means to be both star-crossed lovers and imminently mortal. While Hazel fixates about how her death will eventually hurt her loved ones, Augustus obsesses about how he will be remembered; the two are drawn together by the justified anxiety they feel over endings. grades 10 to Ages 15 to 18.
