Agreed. Holland never seems focused. Too busy with his mustache, harry carey voice, his socks and other BS rather than being 100% zoned in at the task and batter at hand.

Next year is a make or break year for Holland. Will he be our top of the rotation starter for years to come or be a 3rd or 4th pitcher who bounces around the MLB? It's up to him.
Perez should be in the rotation. Don't be blinded by his most recent starts. In his first three starts he didn't allow more than 2 runs. He's young and will be inconsistent. But we have to have home grown talent. It can't be all free agents and trades. Our success was built on a mixture and it's a very successful one. We can't give up everytime a young player allows a run or strikesout swinging.

That lineup is so heavily RH'd that I don't think it'd work. Only AJ, Murph and Moreland hit LH. We'd still probably put up runs in the early innings, but as games wore on, teams could use their situational pitchers to make it really tough for us.
Not to rehash the past, but Prince was the perfect fit for us last year. The best option now, in my mind, is Cargo and I'm just not sure we could successfully get a deal done with Colorado for him.
Who needs Josh Hamilton when you can have this for $11m?
Also...I still believe a priority is to find a #1 pitcher. Darvish is the closest thing we've got and while Harrison really solidified himself, I still think of him as a #3 ideally. Holland, at this stage, is no better than a #5/Long Relief and guys like Nefti and Perez will need development time. If Colby were healthy, I think we could limp by again and be okay, but at this stage, no way what we have in our rotation gets us back to a World Series.
Who needs Josh Hamilton when you can have this for $11m?
I would think by definition if Harrison slid down to our Solid 3 we would be in pretty good shape if Colby and some combo of Nefti, Perez, Holland et al held down the back end. At the end of the day though the frustrating thing this season was much more the amazing vanishing Offense! Time after time late in the season we had trouble simply moving a runner over or scoring a key run with men on base and 0 or 1 outs. Beyond Bizzare!
Not bizarre at all, that completely falls on the manager. Instead of bunting a runner over or stealing a base or having hit n runs, Wash just waited for the long ball. That is something that has transitioned from 2010. in 2010 he was all about small ball and manufacturing runs, then you saw a little less of that in 2011 and now this year it seems like that hardly even existed.

1. Darvish
2. FA/Trade
3. Harrison
4. Ogando
5. Holland
Perez would have to be so good in ST that it would force us to make room for him. He had a lousy year at RR and was so so with the Rangers. I'd rather put Ogando back in the rotation and rebuild the bullpen. With TJ surgery it normally takes 12-18 months for recovery. Anything we get from Lewis/Feliz would be viewed as icing on the cake.
well technically Profar is a switch hitter so that is another lefty, but I wouldnt want AJ anyway, he had a career year hitting wise, but defense sucks and he isnt getting any younger. I think they will prob stick with Soto and maybe add another catcher as a platoon if they dont work something out with Napoli. I also think Moreland deserves an everyday role at 1B, not just in there against righties, I cant stand that thought process of playing matchups. we all saw what he can do when he gets into a groove, so let him play even against lefties so he can get into his groove. No way Young should be the everyday 1B.
Y2K...that might be the most ridiculous comparison I have ever seen you make. Perez and his 5 starts to Holland and his multiple years. I could make a much more fair comparison. How about Mike Trout...who came up and was mediocre. Then got his chance again this season and became a star. Or Cliff Lee who was mediocre and got sent to the minors, then came back an ace.Originally Posted by Young2Kinsler:23883358
Those are both considerably more fair comparisons than comparing a guy who has yet to have a rookie season to a guy already on a contract extension. Yes, Perez might flame out. Then again, maybe he doesn't. If everyone acted like your statement, guys like Trout probably would have never got another chance.
"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind."

I personally would like to move on from Holland and give Perez a shot if he isnt traded. Holland didnt even come close to performing like he deserved that contract extension. I dont think he has a mindset of trying to improve, a change of scenery might do him good.....but to also be fair, I dont really see Perez becoming more than a #3 and we need something more than that which is why I would rather include him in a trade for a legit ace than to wait for him to develop into something more than what he will probably be. Holland was untouchable in trades years ago and he hasnt turned into much so I would like us not to go down that same path with Perez. If we can get a guy like Price by including Perez in a package then that is a no brainer.
the Rangers are playing it smart by not extending an offer to Hamilton until he talks with other teams to see what is out there. I really think the market for Hamilton is extremely limited and might find that his best offer will be from us. An offer that the Rangers are comfortable with making Hamilton will find out is going to be a fair market value for him with not a lot of teams looking to take on a huge contract along with all the question marks and baggage he brings.
Some team is going to extend Hamilton a 6 year deal at 30 million dollars and I hope to god we don't come anywhere near that. Will end up being one of the worst contracts in the major leagues.
those are the 4 teams I could see offering him a ridiculous amount of money.

Ok ... I guess my lack of emphasise on intended key areas of strength partially warranted that.
The SG I described would have 3 point shooting and tenacious defence as his primary strengths. He would be known for these.
His secondary abilities would be sufficient ability in driving to the basket to keep defenders honest and an ability to pick out a pass that keeps the offence moving and averages 3-4 assists per game.
I think it was the Mavs game when Hendo tried a lob to pass to a player and missed him entirely! Our SG has to be better than that at passing the ball. His Assist to Turnover Ratio is 1.7, was 1.3 last season (needs to be over 2.0). However he is currently shooting a very decent 0.400 from the 3, hit a woeful 0.234 last season; in fact it's better than his current Field Goal % of 0.348, last years very good 0.459 is more indicative.
So a high level defender, high motor guy who's stats are in the region of: A/TO >2.0, 3P% >0.425 & FG% >0.450 would be great. FWIW, I'd love to see Hendo get there ... but I don't see it happening, especially re. his passing.

Aaron Afflalo fits the bill, great defender, good 3 point shooter and has played some point so has decent handles and passing... Not sure if Afflalo is my dream SG...
Founder and Writer @ http://thelotterymafia.com/
If you are interested in contributing to the site please get in touch.
In terms of style of play, a young Arron Afflalo is exactly what I would want on our team. I think he compliments Kemba's & MKG's games very well. He's a Shooting Guard that can both Shoot & Guard. We have Kemba & MKG to drive to the basket.
If we're talking 'dream' them I'd want a better version of him, but in reality I'd be very happy to draft a young player of his calibre & style.
Last edited by kitch0202; 11-09-2012 at 11:55 AM. Reason: Typo
If Arron Afflalo's game doesn't spell treadmill, then somehow someway it must spell elliptical, because he's a good player and all but I don't see any team going far with him as their starting SG. He's 1st round exit material.
I'm not suggesting we trade for Afflalo, simply that drafting a young Afflalo clone would fit this team very well.
Similarly I'm not saying that a team with Arron as the 1st or 2nd scoring option is what we're aiming for.
To me a player of his ilk is a good guy to have on the team and would balance out our back-court & wings very well. We'd still need to draft/trade/sign a Star 20+ point scoring Big in this scenario, but an Afflalo type player would be a damn good complementary piece to have.
teej (11-13-2012)
Assuming we're picking in the top 5 then absolutely, I'd want someone better too ... a difference maker.
But if one of our owed picks comes in at the 10-15 range I think an Afflalo type SG would be a suitable return on that pick (he was a steal at 27).
Just my two cents worth ...

Unfortunately it never works. And, of course, this year they go off and set an all-time high with 190 hiking, paddling, running and riding events for the 19th annual event on June 4 and 5. I so don't have enough ingredients for that potion. And kudos to the association for coming up with that many events in one of the nation's smallest and most developed states.
This year's event will take place in 112 towns along 500 miles of trails throughout the state. Events include hiking, biking, trail maintenance, kayaking, educational walks, bird watching and geocaching. Each event is guided by knowledgeable volunteers from local hiking clubs, parks and recreation departments, state agencies, conservation organizations, historic groups, naturalists, educators and land trusts. The New England Trail – the most recently designted National Scenic Trail in the United States – will have 25 events as it winds its way through the center of the state.
So, if I could split myself off in various directions, here are the top 5 events I would check out. But remember if none of these interest you, there are 185 more to choose from!
Bolton, June 4, 10 a.m.: I love caves and the stories that come with them and this hike led by conservation commission chairman Rod Parlee and Bolton historian Hans DePold visits several of them in Bolton Notch. Meet at the Bolton commuter parking lot off routes 44 and 6.
Burlington, June, 4 10 a.m.: As I've hiked hundreds of miles across the state for my columns, I've often wondered if I could live off the land. "Wildman" Steve Brill could show me how as he leads a hike through Sessions Woods Wildlife Management Area searching for edibles and medicinal plants. I feel healthy already. Route 69. Pre-register to Paul Rochford 860-276-7134.
Kent, June 5, 9:30 a.m.: Iron Mountain Preserve and a rugged 3.1-mile "lollipop loop" trail. That about says it all, but the trail also goes through rocky terrain, piney groves, stone walls, old apple trees and hopscotch rocks. Sounds good to me. Trailhead on Treasure Hill Road near the intersection of Richards and South roads.
Meriden, June 5, 8 a.m., 9 a.m., 10 a.m.: For those early or late risers, Meriden has a lot to offer. One of my favorite places to hike in the state. Hikers can explore Hubbard Park, Quinnipiac River Gorge, Giuffrida Park and Mount Lamentation. These are places right in the middle of civilization, but you feel like you are in the netherlands.
New Haven, June 5, 3 p.m.: Who needs the woods when you have Edgewood Park, a 123-acre urban oasis designed by Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. Meet at the park gazebo on the corner of Edgewood and Yale avenues. Pre-register by calling Semi at 203-389-0745.
Connecticut Trails Day is part of National Trails Day, a nationwide hiking initiative established by the American Hiking Society in 1993. Booklets with full listings of events is available at the association's headquarters at 16 Meriden Road (Route 66) in Rockfall or at libraries across the state. Visit http://www.ctwoodlands.org/CT-TrailsDay2011 for an online version of the booklet.

Dreams of Better Schools
The Making of Americans: Democracy and Our Schools
Why School? Reclaiming Education for All of Us
When Mike Rose, who teaches in the Graduate School of Education at UCLA, made some positive remarks about public schools on a call-in radio show a few years ago, one listener phoned in with disbelief: he said he "didn't know one seventeen-year-old who could make correct change." Others followed with "assaultive" anger that "did not, in any way, invite engagement, or mutual analysis, or thinking through a problem together."
In some respects, it has always been so. With the possible exceptions of the postal service and the motor vehicle bureau, few public institutions rival our schools in public dissatisfaction. "We can all agree," according to the conservative magazine The Weekly Standard, "that American public schools are a joke"—and it is not hard to find comparable statements from commentators on the left.
What should one make of such claims? In a study published more than a decade ago by the Century Foundation, Richard Rothstein, who later became an education columnist for The New York Times, rattled off a list of similar lamentations stretching back more than 150 years. As early as 1845, when the nation's first standardized test was administered to a group of fourteen-year-olds under the direction of Horace Mann, the examiners were shocked by the "absurd answers,…errors in grammar, in punctuation and in spelling." Writing in 1902, the editors of the New York Sun declared that America's schools had sunk to the level of "a vaudeville show." By 1955, a best-selling book, Why Johnny Can't Read, charged that the failure of the schools was "gradually destroying democracy."
In 1983, the authors of an influential report commissioned by the US Department of Education, A Nation at Risk, summed things up with a memorable quip:
If an unfriendly foreign power had attempted to impose on America the mediocre educational performance that exists today, we might well have viewed it as an act of war.
And in 1998, the year of Rothstein's report, the National Constitution Center concluded that the war was going badly: barely 40 percent of American teenagers could identify the three branches of government, while nearly 60 percent knew the names of the Three Stooges.1
Measured against our aspirations for public schools, all these expressions of alarm doubtless have some warrant. But measured against the actual schools of the past, how, in fact, are we doing?
Some think this question can be settled by objective measures such as test scores over time. Between the 1940s and the 1980s, combined verbal and math scores on the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) did indeed decline (about 10 percent), which would seem to bolster the view that American schools have deteriorated.2 But today, the SAT is taken annually by roughly two million students of wide-ranging preparation and ability. When it was first administered in its modern form in 1941, it was taken by only around ten thousand students, or less than half of 1 percent of all seventeen-year-olds—a largely self-selected group seeking admission to elite private colleges. And there are other confounding factors, such as the growth of the test-prep industry, which serves the affluent as a sort of school supplement, as well as the growing incidence of allowing students with documented psychological difficulties extra time to complete the test.3 Such developments make it hard to know how well test scores reflect what actually goes on in the schools.
Meanwhile, graduation rates have been rising while reading scores have been falling. But what does this mean? Are today's high school students less literate than their predecessors, or do the data now include relatively weak students of the sort who would not have shown up in the past because they had left school before the testers got to them?
In short, the more one ponders the statistics, the more murky their meaning becomes. The most reliable data, lucidly presented by Daniel Koretz, a professor of education at Harvard, in his book Measuring Up: What Educational Testing Really Tells Us, do disclose some noteworthy trends. Especially in mathematics, student achievement has lately improved at the elementary school level, but the gains have not been maintained through middle school and high school. Test scores of African-American students in reading as well as in math continue to lag behind those of white students, though the gap has been narrowing. Hispanic students also score lower than non-Hispanic whites, although, as Koretz points out, the meaning of these data is complicated by the fact that "the Hispanic population is constantly refreshed" by new immigrants who, at first, may have difficulty understanding and reading English.4
Yet despite the manifest ambiguities of the data, Americans persist in believing that our schools have fallen from some golden age of excellence—an idea that Rothstein dismissed as a "fable." It was a well-chosen word, since "fable" is the name we give to a tale whose claims cannot be empirically verified but that may nevertheless contain some admonitory or normative truth.
Ever since its beginnings in antebellum Massachusetts, public education has been regarded as a national imperative, yet running the schools has generally been left to the states. Before the Civil War, when one western state school superintendent observed the "futility of attempting to operate a Free School System, without proper supervisory agents," supervision was considered a state responsibility, and so it has remained ever since. During the short-lived experiment of Reconstruction, Congress did seek to influence local educational practices through its oversight of the new state constitutions, and through the Freedmen's Bureau, which set up schools in the South for black Americans who had previously been denied access to education. But it took nearly a century till the US Supreme Court, in Brown v. Board of Education (1954), issued its order that all public schools must be integrated. And it was not until the presidency of Lyndon Johnson that the federal government got substantially involved in school reform by directing funds to the states through the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), with the goal of improving schools in high-poverty neighborhoods.5
So it is all the more remarkable that it was under George W. Bush, a president full of platitudes about the virtue of local autonomy and the folly of "big government," that Washington entered the field of public education more aggressively than ever before. The No Child Left Behind Act of 2002, supported by many liberal Democrats, notably the late Senator Edward M. Kennedy, required that states institute standards defining what students must learn grade by grade, test student achievement school by school and district by district, and improve—or, in the absence of improvement, eliminate—schools that fail to meet the standards.
In general, the Obama administration remains committed to such mandates. As part of the "stimulus package," it has announced plans for dispensing some $4 billion on a competitive basis to states that adopt what Secretary of Education Arne Duncan calls "common, internationally benchmarked K–12 standards." The new initiative is called "Race to the Top," and one of its provisions encourages the growth of charter schools that are exempt from many of the regulations governing the hiring, firing, and promotion of teachers, and whose charters are subject to revocation depending on performance as measured chiefly by test results.6
Not so long ago, charter schools were opposed by liberals wary of union-busting and privatization, and were supported by conservatives seeking to inject entrepreneurial energy into a system they regarded as paralyzed by life tenure for teachers and a salary structure based on seniority. Today, charter schools have found a degree of bipartisan support, public approval of them is growing, the teachers' unions are on the defensive, and in every region of the country—in traditional public schools, charter schools, private schools, and parochial schools—standardized testing has become so pervasive and begins so early that, according to Deborah Meier, founding principal of the well-known Central Park East School in New York City, "five-year-olds worry, not about whether they will make friends, but whether they will be held over because they haven't yet learned all their letters and phonemes."7 The notion that ideas about improving schools can be neatly divided between "liberal" and "conservative" seems increasingly incoherent.
Now we have two new books by authors who would seem to come at the problem of education from opposite ends of the political spectrum. Before assuming his current position at UCLA, Mike Rose taught for years a variety of students ranging from kindergarteners to adults enrolled in job-training programs. His tone and instincts affiliate him with the liberal left. He is suspicious of flag-waving patriotism, indignant at corporate greed, dismayed at the growing gap between rich and poor. E.D. Hirsch, an emeritus professor at the University of Virginia, has had a distinguished career as what might be called an anti-theory theorist associated with the traditionalist wing of literary academia. In the 1980s he achieved fame (in some quarters, notoriety) as the author of a best-selling guidebook, Cultural Literacy: What Every American Needs to Know, which conservatives welcomed as a counterattack on the identity politics of "multiculturalism." Since then, Hirsch has led the "Core Knowledge" movement, a nationwide initiative to establish a curriculum based on the premise that all children should attain shared knowledge of history, fundamental political and philosophical ideas, classic literary texts, and basic scientific concepts.
Both writers feel besieged, but from different directions. For Rose, the enemy is the number-crunchers who want to measure everything by tests and thereby reduce education to a "knowledge-delivery system." For Hirsch, the problem is the "anti-curriculum" crowd, people he regards as deluded by the romantic idea that children somehow possess innate knowledge that can be released through play or self-paced learning or other forms of what he considers vapid "progressive" education. To Rose, children—especially those whose parents are poorly educated—are ill served by schools that treat them as little learning machines; to Hirsch, they are cheated by schools that treat them as members of preciously distinctive cultural groups whose sense of self would be damaged by a standard curriculum required of all. But the real divergence between these two writers, and the one of most consequence to anyone interested in education, is the difference in their views of what Rose calls "the picture of human cognition."
Hirsch's account of early childhood has a determinist flavor. With good reason, he sees the fund of knowledge that children acquire early in life as dictating their prospects in later life, and he thinks we have failed to deal with the plain fact that children from homes where reading takes place and dinner-table talk reaches beyond household events enter school with an immense advantage. "The chief problem in American education," he writes, "is not diversity of income, race, and ethnicity but diversity of preparation."
Hirsch looks to schools to counteract this invidious diversity. His book amounts to a restatement of a faith once articulated by Horace Mann as follows:
Quoted in Mark Bauerlein, The Dumbest Generation: How the Digital Age Stupefies Young Americans and Jeopardizes Our Future (Tarcher/Penguin, 2008), p. 19. For the historical reputation of public schools, see Richard Rothstein, The Way We Were?: The Myths and Realities of America's Student Achievement (Century Foundation Press, 1998), Chapter 1. Alarm about school quality tends to rise whenever our security or economy appears to face a foreign threat. After the launch of Sputnik in 1957, something close to panic arose over the prospect that the Soviet Union was outdoing us in science. In the 1970s, with the incursion of Toyota and Nissan into the domestic automobile market, Japan's secret weapon was said to be its deployment of a "competent labor power prepared for company life and receptive to learning more specialized skills at the workplace"—in other words, a better-educated workforce. See Ezra Vogel, quoted in David K. Cohen and Susan L. Moffitt, The Ordeal of Equality: Did Federal Regulation Fix the Schools? (Harvard University Press, 2009), p. 103.↩
Verbal scores have continued to drop, but math scores have lately stabilized and climbed back to levels not seen since the 1960s. Moreover, while SAT scores were declining, average IQ scores, which have been shown to improve with schooling, were rising—a trend, Rothstein points out, that could hardly "have been registered if schools were decaying or even stagnant."↩
Diane Ravitch, "Student Achievement in New York City: The NAEP Results," in NYC Schools Under Bloomberg and Klein: What Parents, Teachers, and Policymakers Need to Know (Lulu Press, 2009), p. 25.↩
Daniel Koretz, Measuring Up: What Educational Testing Really Tells Us (Harvard University Press, 2008), pp. 98–103.↩
For extended discussion of Title I of EASA, see Cohen and Moffitt, The Ordeal of Equality.↩
At a recent meeting with educators and business groups, Secretary Duncan said that the No Child Left Behind law (NCLB), rather than raising standards, has, in some cases, "inadvertently" lowered them by threatening states with the loss of federal funds if they fail to show test-score improvements. Duncan praised NCLB, however, for "exposing achievement gaps, and for requiring that we measure our efforts to improve education by looking at outcomes, rather than inputs." See Molly Peterson, "No Child Left Behind Law Seen as 'Toxic,' Duncan Says," Bloomberg.com, September 24, 2009.↩

Fish - Typhlosion, Rhydon, Raticate, Fearow, Hitmontop, Magneton vs Dragon Hawk - Slaking, Clefable, Steelix, Corsola, Magneton, Exeggutor Warthog - Registeel, Sceptile, Crobat, Forretress, Dustox, Nosepass vs Lesm46 - Aerodactyl, Flareon, Mightyena, Charizard, Zangoose, Misdreavus Deadline once again is a week from now. Have a nice day.
hmm not too sure how Ill get past all those Fires but Ill give it my best shot. Ill be back on sometime this week.
So Dragonhawk, when are you usually on? I should be pretty easy to find on Netbattle from now til Friday. Nick will be either Noob Saibot or Fish.
I can see Warthog using something like a Hidden Power Rock Choice Banded Crobat to do a number on that Charizard and co. The rest of the other team is rather physical and is easily walled by Registeel, Forretress and Nosepass. So it can be done. Warthog and Dragon Hawk for the final IMO.
Not even the almighty Clefable could have saved me. :( Lost 4 - 0. Fish, just out of curiousity, was that HP Bug or Ghost on Hitmontop?
gg sir That was HP bug. I also gave 'Top a SpDef nature and max HP and SpDef ev's to ensure he'd survive Eggy's psychic. That combined with just the one bulk up made him quite the tank.
Lesm when is the best time for you? I can get on 7-12pm pacific and just about anytime on Friday/weekend.
Sorry I didn't respond to your irc pm's earlier; I was asleep when I got both. I can battle today in the late afternoon or evening (Central time). I'll try to be on nb so pm me if you see me.
gg Lesm, was fun indeed. GL in your next draw and hopefully it isnt a clear sweep as some of these have turned out to be.

I went to the Ravens second pre-season game, against the New York Jets, last night. But outside the stadium, there was nothing pre-season about it.
People were drinking, grilling, scalping, selling, and celebrating as if it were November against a fellow AFC North team. Fans were rubbing Johnny Unitas's foot for good luck, even though they all knew that the outcome of the game didn't really matter in the grand scheme of things. And, while admission lines were shorter than regular season, they were still substantial (good to be a female in that scenario).
During the first quarter, the stadium was electric, especially when Haloti Ngata intercepted a pass and ran it in for a touchdown. Ticket prices went up this year and 16 oz. domestics remained at their absurd $7 price. But it didn't seem like fans were hurting for money, as most were buying beer after beer and, just like regular season, some got a little out-of-hand.
While the game was great (even if the score got a little too close for comfort) it made me feel sad for the neighboring stadium that barely gets any end-of-summer love. Most people say that if the Orioles were as good as the Ravens, they'd be getting sell-out crowds every game, too.
But I think it has more to do with the experience. There are only so many football games per season, and going all-out for a tailgate is a little more hardcore than sipping Boh's outside of Pickle's. There's a certain intensity that surrounds football and its fandom, and even if the Orioles had a winning season (imagine that!), I'm still not sure it would be the same.

Local Atmosphere: Great Place to go to school. You don't need a car, if you don't mind getting rained on. It is quite expensive, but all colleges are.
Athletics: Athletics are a big part of the school's culture. School spirit is very high and the athletic facilities are great.
Off-Campus Housing: There is pretty good availability of off-campus housing. Although, cost can vary quite a bit and safety can be a concern depending on which area you are looking in.
Health & Safety: Campus crime is pretty low. I generally feel safe walking around campus alone, there are always multiple people around.
Diversity: The diversity on campus is great. Everyone is accepting of all races, political believes, religion, etc. All students are accepted and not looked down upon for any reason
Computers: Printing documents at school is fairly easy. Most of the time there is a computer available in one of the labs.
Weather: We have fairly mild weather in Portland. Most of the time it is raining, we get a few sunny days here and there, and we may have a week or so of snow in the winter. Overall the weather does not adversely affect my campus experience; most of the bad weather is in the form of rain, which does not bother most Oregonians (plus the buildings are close together so there is not much need to be in the rain for long)
Drug Safety: There really is not much presence of a "drug scene" at Portland State.
Campus Housing: Living on campus is fairly affordable, the convenience of classes being so close is really nice, although the amenities are not the best (old, kind of run down)
Greek Life: Greek students are not viewed any differently around campus than non-Greek students.
Scholarships: The financial aid process at Portland State University is a smooth and convenient process. I did not run into any issues and received the aid I needed in a timely manner.
Majors: There are a lot of different majors here and I find that refreshing. My first university had a restriction on majors and there wasn't a lot of different things to choose from. But here you can choose almost anything that you can think of.
Majors: I like the department that I'm in - Chemistry. It's a close-knit group of people that interact every week in one or another and that help each other through problems with classes, research, teaching, etc. There is a real sense of family here and I really appreciate that.
Off-Campus Housing: The closer you live to downtown, the more ridiculously expensive the place will be - with fewer parking options, older buildings, can be less safe depending on area... There are different districts around town, but the further out you go, the cheaper the housing will be (with better parking, newer buildings, a general feel of suburbia). It just depends on what you can afford as to where you'll live. Transportation isn't really an issue since there are the buses, the MAX lines, and the streetcar. I don't have a car and live about an hour away by public transport and it really is not bad. The only thing that sucks about public transport is that it can get expensive (but not as expensive as parking, gas, insurance, and time spent driving... because traffic can get ridiculous and parking is a nightmare closer to campus).
Campus Strictness: I don't live on campus so it's difficult for me to comment on a lot of topics that this covers.
Weather: I personally love the weather... It's mild all year round - not too cold, not too hot! It rains a lot here, so having the appropriate weather gear is important, but it's nothing that you can't handle... Honestly, the rain just makes you stay inside more and study/work.
Academics: I have had an okay experience with classes here. I might be a bit biased because I loved my first university, but I enjoy the department that I'm associated with. The professors are always willing to help but they also challenge you to really learn and push yourself.
Off-Campus Dining: There are so many different types of food available... All you have to do is be open to trying new things and just jump in. This city is a food city.
Athletics: I'm not really involved in anything like this on campus, so I'm not able to really give a good description of what it's like here.
Nightlife: Campus is right downtown, so there is a lot going on all the time. I don't know about parties in apartments or rooms or anything, but there are clubs and bars everywhere downtown!
Diversity: I love how diverse my friends are and how many different people I meet on a daily basis!
Drug Safety: I haven't observed anything crazy happening on campus and I don't partake in drinking or drugs and I have a great group of friends who have the same lifestyle.
Scholarships: The aid that is given is not enough.
Health & Safety: Campus safety is alright... There are attacks that occur, but the campus is in the middle of downtown, so some shenanigans are to be expected - people just need to think things through and travel with friends. As for the health services here, they are atrocious. I have never seen such a horrible program at a university before, especially a school where students are required to pay extremely high health fees every term and then get poor service in return... Not to mention that the insurance offered, for the cost, is a joke (there is no eye and dental only if you go to their dental services). You're only allowed to get counseling at the school if it's an emergency, and same day appointments for anything aren't given unless you're in immense pain. It's a complete joke.
Off-Campus Dining: There's a lot of food branches and shopping places around Portland. It's very tempting to spend money!

I have received multiple face creams in my monthly box, but this one is, by far, the best. Within a few days of using it, I noticed a clear difference. I was probably the most blemish-free I had been in a month when I used my sample. Lightweight, no irritation, just clearer skin. The true heartbreak is the price! I'm not sure I can reasonably work this into my beauty care budget, even if it is wonderful.
I've struggled with acne since I was a pre-teen, I can't even count the number of times I've looked in the mirror and just felt bummed out. Now in my late 20's I've finally got it under control, thanks to Evologie :) The cream is my favorite - it's light and goes on without making my skin feel greasy or dry. I'm truly, truly happy with this product.
I am a huge fan of the Evologie line, including this Stay Clear Cream. It has a great smell and nice formula. It is moisturizing and clearing as well, but with no sting and no medicinal type smell. I have been using the Cleanser, Serum, and Cream for over a year and have pretty much no breakouts now. I save the Serum for a spot on treatment but consistently use both the Cleanser and Cream. Def recommend this product!
Two days ago I went with friends from work to an Indian restaurant and all the spices in the food caused my skin to break out in hives on the sides of my cheeks the next morning. Last night and this morning I used all three products like directed and this afternoon the blemishes are already healing. These are the kind that normally would have gone through a huge cycle, gotten worse and then i a couple weeks finally heal - but Evologie really is almost magic. I love this product & have never had anything work so quickly before. I recommend this product to all age groups and for all different kinds of acne.
I have been using this under my moisturizer on clean skin if i have any bumps and I feel like it diminishes them by the end of the day.
I used this when I had a visible blemish or when I felt my face was looking dull. I only applied it before bed if I used it. I noticed in the morning my skin did feel better and the redness in my blemish went down
I've been using the sample regularly for several days. I've still had breakouts. I'd be curious how is worked with the other products in the line. As of now I'm not sure if it makes a difference with breakouts or not. Otherwise it's a decent non-greasy moisturizer, but for the cost I'm not sure if it's worth it.
I wasn't crazy about this product -- I really wanted to like it but it left my skin feeling kind of oily and grimy. If I rubbed my face, it would roll off in little balls. This is one that is staying up on the shelf for me.
I did not like this cream . It dried my face out terribly and it didn't seem to keep the blemishes at bay. Maybe it's just my skin but it was a no-go for me.
I loved my sample of the cream, so I bought the full set hoping it would keep my acne and oil under control. I don't believe my skin got any worse but it didn't improve. The bottles of cream and serum were my favorite part but were so small they both ran out about a month before the cleanser

Height: 6'1" Weight: 265 Age: 33 Experience: 11th season College: Florida State Drafted: 2004 R2 P23, Jaguars

Houston Texans RB Arian Foster said he is thankful the team brought back FB Greg Jones. "He's gonna help us out," Foster said.
Huddle Up: With the departure of James Casey, the Texans were looking for a FB for the second time in 3 offseasons, and they found one within the AFC South, luring Jones away from the Jags. If you're expecting some sort of fantasy production out of Jones, don't, as he's logged only 15 carries over the past 5 seasons after compiling 255 in his first 3 seasons.
Posted: 3/27/2013 5:41pm et
The Houston Texans have signed free-agent FB Greg Jones to a one-year deal. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Huddle Up: The Texans seem to cycle through fullbacks, and Jones is the latest to fill that role in Houston. Don't look for him to offer much in the way of fantasy value.

How does one select the Archive folder in Mail using Applescript?
Does anyone know how to select the Mail Archive folder in Mail using Applescript?
This code does not work, BUT if I change Archive to any other folder it works fine. It is only the Archive folder which is not working! Code:
tell application "Mail" set selected mailboxes of message viewer 1 to {mailbox "Archive"} of account "My Email" end tell |

Hi. I am using this in a script to process emails in a "Follow Up" folder to create a task in Omnifocus. I found that when I move mesages to another folder, Mail still thinks that message is in there and keeps processing it. So selecting the destination folder (Archive) makes Mail not keep that message in the original folder.
Anyway, this script on its own does not work (so nothing to do with the rest of my script). I just cannot see how to select the folder using Applescript. So I keep getting duplicate tasks created. I need to select the Archive folder in my automated applescript. Thanks |

Reviews for Italian-Style Salisbury Steaks(18)
Sort By :
Everyone loved it! Have made it several times and will continue to do so.
Split decision in our home. My oldest loved it, which is a compliment b/c he is very picky! I liked it, although the sauce seemed to dry up instead of making a sauce for the meat to simmer in. My husband didn't care for it, but he isnt really a fan of tomato based sauces.
Not bad. I used ground turkey instead of ground beef and I would make it again. Because some said it was bland, I did add some of my own seasonings to the tomato sauce, but the meat itself was seasoned very well. Next time I may salt my noodles.
I found this recipe to be quite bland without much flavor. I want to try it again but next time, I'll add more spices and Worcestershire sauce.
Definately a keeper. Quick and easy to make with lots of flavor.

It is one of the least visited National Parks in the United States, but what it lacks in tourists -- it makes up for in wonders.
Katmai National Park is home to the greatest concentration of protected Brown Bears anywhere in the world. An estimated 2500 of the animals roam the land here and in neighboring McNeilRiver State Park.
That is more Brown Bears in this one area than in all of the Lower-48 combined.
The park draws 10,000 visitors to Brooks Camp, where 100 of those bears enjoy feasting on the July Salmon Runs.
The odds of meeting a bear are so high, that the Park Service requires every visitor to attend a bear-safety lecture upon arrival in Brooks.
But the bears aren't the only attraction at Katmai.
It is also possible to ride out to the site of the biggest volcanic eruption of the 20th Century.
The Novarupta Volcano exploded 100 years ago this summer (well, technically this spring. The eruption took place on June 6th, 1912).It put a foot of ash on rooftops in Kodiak 100 miles away!
Remarkably, no one was killed by the immediate blast of the eruption -- even though it was bigger than Krakatoa (techincally called Krakatau) or Vesuvius, and way bigger than Mt. St. Helens (30 times bigger).
One woman did ultimately die from respiratory problems created by the ash. She lived in Kodiak.
And with an eruption of 3 cubic miles of magma, it put out enough ash and rock to fill the entire municipality of Anchorage tod a depth of 1.5 miles (according to Judy Fierstein of theU.S. Geological Survey).
If you visit Katmai, you can see the remnants of Novarupta. Ash deposits 1 mile from the vent are 800 feet thick.
Geologists say that if it ever erupted again like it did in 1912 (and one day it will), it would bring air traffic to a halt all over North America and devastate the economy of Alaska.
Fortunately, it's not likely to erupt in our lifetimes.

Riverview: Blast from the past
Riverview Park in Chicago was one of the great urban amusement parks, featuring rollercoasters, a ferris wheel, a fun house and a parachute drop, Riverview; wild mouse; paratrooper; water bug; tunnel of love; flying turns; baba the elephant; boomerang; the bobs.
Image 1 of 40
Flying Turns
Riverview Park
Riverview Park opened in 1904 at Western and Belmont Avenues on the Northwest Side. It became an iconic summertime destination that captured the imagination of young and old for more than six decades. It featured what some insist was the finest rollercoaster of all time, The Bobs, a terrifying white-knuckle hurdle into the unknown that a writer once called "a challenge to boyhood pride since the days of knickers." (It was challenge to girlhood pride, too.) There was much civic angst when the park was bought by a developer and closed at the end of the summer season in 1967. The park was sold by representatives of the Henry J. Merle family and George A. Schmidt, a grandson of the original owner. He said one reason for the sale was the rising problem of violence and disorder. The rides were dismantled and sold. Riverview was the last of the big amusement parks that once dotted the city. The park was opened in 1904 by William Schmidt, who had bought the 74 acres along the north branch of the Chicago River from the German Sharpshooter's Club for a few thousand dollars. It began with three rides: a small roller coaster, a carousel and a shoot-the-chute. When the park closed on Sept. 1, 1967, it had 120 rides, including six rollercoasters, a parachute jump and rockets. In terms of rides, it was said to have more than any amusement park in the world. Pictured here, George Yautz and Helen Olson sample the breath-taking thrill of the Flying Turns in 1951. |

Piggydb is a flexible and scalable knowledge building platform that supports a heuristic or bottom-up approach to discover new concepts or ideas based on your input. You can begin with using it as a flexible outliner, diary or notebook, and as your database grows, Piggydb helps you to shape or elaborate your own knowledge. Piggydb is a Web application provided as a self-contained package that contains a Web server and database engine.
phpOpenTracker is a framework solution for the analysis of Web site traffic and visitor behaviour. It features a logging engine that, either invoked as a Web bug by an HTML image tag or embedded with two lines of code into your PHP application, logs each request to a Web site into a database. One installation can track an arbitrary number of Web sites. Through its API, you can easily access the gathered data and perform complex operations on it (for instance, the analysis of your visitors' click paths).
The Apache Open For Business Project is an enterprise automation software project that includes ERP, CRM, E-Business/E-Commerce, SCM, MRP, and CMMS/EAM functions. It is a foundation and starting point for enterprise solutions and can certainly be used out of the box, but is also great for creating specialized applications.
Tapestry is a rich, component-based object model for developing dynamic, robust, highly interactive Web applications. Applications are constructed in terms of Java objects, methods and properties, instead of URLs and query parameters. It builds and interprets all URLs, dispatching directly to application-specific "listener" methods. It includes complete source code, documentation, tutorials and a complete example J2EE application.
Redland is a set of C libraries providing a high-level API for the Resource Description Framework (RDF), allowing it to be stored, parsed, serialized, queried, and manipulated. It has an object-based, modular design and comes with detailed reference documentation and examples. Redland supports all RDF vocabularies such as FOAF, RSS 1.0, Dublin Core, DOAP, and OWL, the query languages SPARQL and RDQL, and all RDF syntaxes including Turtle, RDF/XML, RDF/JSON, RSS, Atom, RDFa, and GRDDL.
WidgetServer is a Java/XML server-side GUI-framework which enables an application to run as either a monolithic Swing app, a client/server Swing app, or as a Web app without any change and without loss of functionality. An Eclipse Plugin is available as well. A rich widget set is supported that includes tree views, tabbed panes, split panels, and much more. Animations, all types of events, and several effects are supported, as well. A unified widget-based, object-oriented programming interface for Web and Swing GUIs is offered to the developer to control and assemble the GUI. Web applications are fully AJAX enabled. For Swing client/server applications, the framework handles client/server communication, including compression and security layers.
DOM Tooltip allows developers to add customized tooltips to Web pages. The tooltips are controlled through style class definitions and respond to events such as "mouseover", and avoids possible collisions with form elements such as select boxes and screen edges. While originally designed to create context tooltips, it is also possible to create a wide variety of dynamic layers, such as embedded windows, context menus, and hidden blocks. Additional features include sticky tips, tooltip fading, lifetime, relative positioning, class assignments, width adjustments, mouse dragging, captions, directionality, offset adjustments, adjustable activate/deactivate delay times, snapping to grid, fate adjustment (hide or destroy), and references to created tips. It supports Mozilla/Netscape6+, IE 5.5+, IE on Mac, Safari, Konqueror, and Opera 7.

So this was done in collaboration with the amazing detkef.deviantArt. She's got a huge collection of amazing artwork you should all go and check out if you haven't already.
We basically both started off thumb-nailing various ideas together and eventually picked one, and then we just kept sending the painting back and forth painting on it a bit each time. Used Photoshop for painting this, and took a while as well.
Be sure to check out my other gallery at thelazylion.deviantart as well.. Thanks :)

Excellent. Love the transparency of the wings. My only complaint is that some parts read as a little flat. Since the light source from behind is so strong, some stronger highlights and rim lighting really would have helped the figures pop.

CapTech was formed as the result of a friendship between the company's founders—Sandy Williamson and Slaughter Fitz-Hugh—that began while both were employed at Andersen Consulting in Washington, D.C. Eventually, each would leave the company to pursue other opportunities, but they stayed in touch. In March of 1997, the two found themselves back in their shared hometown—Richmond, Virginia—and this close proximity led to the creation of CapTech Ventures, Inc., an exceptional business partnership. The company has been successful from the very beginning, growing from $380,000 in revenue the first year to millions today. Always a privately held company, CapTech has thrived without the support of outside investors funding. Through partnership with clients and by providing exceptional service, CapTech has continued to grow and build on its successes. Now a full-service information technology consultancy and the largest private IT-focused comp any headquartered in the region, CapTech performs services for a diverse and growing client base.
Founded in 1997, CapTech Ventures is a private midsized consulting firm that designs and builds information systems. The driving force behind our success is the close relationships that we develop with our clients, getting to know their businesses and the vision that guides them. In 2004, we received the Impact Award of the Greater Richmond Chamber of Commerce for its achievements in growth, economic impact and community support. Our newest honor was winning the Customer Engagement 2012 AMCF Consulting Project of the Year. Over the years, we have been recognized by Ernst and Young, Association for Corporate Growth (ACG), Greater Richmond Partnership, United Way, RichTech and numerous other organizations for our steady growth and positive impact on the communities it serves. We are expanding our client base both geographically and across industry lines and are recruiting, retaining and nourishing a highly skilled workforce.
At CapTech, we strive to balance intense, mission-critical consulting with fun and camaraderie. In addition to regular corporate functions and events, we support softball, baseball, biking and running teams. Managers also organize smaller outings for their functional teams such as Segway tours, a deep sea fishing trip and cooking classes. We also have a long history of supporting philanthropic and economic development activities. We greatly prefer to promote from within and provide many training and development opportunities to help our people grow their skills across the board. Our company founders and executive team are easily accessible within our open communication environment because we value employee ideas and input, and our collaborative team-centered work methods help us build off of each others' success.
Additional benefits of CapTech include:
If you are an experienced Business Systems Analyst with strong leadership capabilities and you are looking for a rewarding new career direction, join our cutting-edge team at CapTech! We are seeking a Business Systems Analyst to manage and drive information system design projects throughout the software development life cycle from initial analysis and design all the way through to implementation and user acceptance.
