The Tigers used the long ball to support Doug Fister, who led the Tigers to a much-needed Game 3 win in the ALCS.

Adrian Beltre will likely wake up in pain on Wednesday, and he'll have no one but himself to blame. He repeatedly fouled pitches off his legs in Tuesday's Game 3 loss to the Tigers, starting with a glancing blow off his left shin in the first inning and a direct hit to his left knee in the fourth.
The hit to the knee is the one that appeared to do the most damage. It knocked him to the ground, as you can see in the screengrab from @cjzero on Twitter:
Beltre needed on-field attention from the Rangers' training staff before he could finish the at-bat, eventually grounding out to third base to complete the plate appearance while running to first with a noticeable limp. After the game, Beltre underwent an X-ray, which was negative. He told reporters that he expects to play Wednesday, but Ron Washington suggested additional tests were needed. From the Detroit News:
"He's getting an MRI and we'll know more about it (Wednesday)," Washington said. "It wasn't a difficult call for me. He said he wanted to stay in."
Assuming he's cleared to play, Beltre will likely continue to be hobbled -- not that he expects that to be a problem. From Ken Rosenthal:
"I'm not speedy," he told reporters. "I don't need to run hard."
Victor Martinez tied the game for the Tigers last night, powering a solo home run over the right-field wall in the fourth inning. Unfortunately, all that torque was too much for his body to handle, resulting in an intercostal strain on his right side.
Martinez, who felt a sharp pain in his right side as he left the batter's box, said rounding the bases was "uncomfortable" -- he took so much time that he admitted asking Rangers catcher Yorvit Torrealba to assure Colby Lewis that he was hurt and not showboating. After returning to the dugout, he slammed his helmet down in disgust, immediately retreating to the clubhouse to receive treatment.
It seemed likely at the time that Martinez would be sidelined for the rest of the game, and perhaps even longer. But he returned for his next at-bat, and vowed after the game that he wouldn't miss any time.
"The only way that I don't play tomorrow is if I wake up and I'm dead," he said, as reported by the Detroit Free Press. "That's going to be the only way that I don't play tomorrow."
Martinez, the Tigers' DH, used the time between at-bats to receive treatment and stay loose. "We did some work in the training room, and I was able to go down to the cage and take some swings before I went out there," he said. "I took some pretty decent swings."
Having already lost Magglio Ordonez (ankle) for the rest of the postseason and not knowing from game to game whether Delmon Young (strained oblique) is available, the last thing the Tigers needed was another injured hitter in the middle of their lineup. In fact, that's exactly what Martinez was thinking about when he realized he was hurt.
"Definitely," he said. "Like I said, this is an opportunity that you don't get every day to come and play in the championship series. I was frustrated. We've been going through a lot of stuff, tough moments. We just lost Magglio and Delmon. We don't need another one. That was my frustration."
So long as Martinez can stay in the lineup and provide protection for Miguel Cabrera, the Tigers are frustration free.
Doug Fister was superb for 7⅓ innings and Miguel Cabrera doubled and homered as the Tigers reduced the Rangers' series lead to 2-1.
Of all the deadline deals made at July 31st, and after sifting through 35,039 different Carlos Beltran, Hunter Pence, and Michael Bourn rumors, it was Doug Fister who ended up making the biggest difference.
Doug Fister.
Doug Fister.
Fister allowed a run in the first inning after he threw seven pitches and allowed three hits. He allowed a run in the eighth inning after Yorvit Torrealba doubled (by using his head as a battering ram) and the next two Rangers grounded out. Apart from the bookends, Fister was superb, striking out three without walking anyone. Of course he didn't walk anyone. The guy sneezes strikes.
He was pulled after 7⅓ innings in favor of Joaquin Benoit, and Fister left the field to a huge standing ovation. Benoit got Elvis Andrus looking to end the eighth.
Without Fister at the deadline, the Tigers would be starting Rick Porcello in this game and Brad Penny tomorrow. Heck, they probably aren't even in the ALCS. No one paid a ton of attention at the time, but it might have been the most important deadline deal any team made.
When Doug Fister got cuffed around by the Yankees in the rain-suspended Game 1 of their Division Series, it was easy to say, "See, I told you Doug Fister wasn't really a winner, and that his ERA and strikeout-to-walk ratio this season were just flukes. Also, if you'd bought gold three years ago when I told you, you'd be living in Monaco right now."
You'd still be right about the gold, but Doug Fister's looking pretty good again.
Fister beat the New York Yankees in Game 5, and he's going to beat the Rangers in Game 3, having given up just one run in seven innings.
Meanwhile, the Tigers brought their whoopin' sticks to this Game 3, with Miguel Cabrera joining the I-Hit-Home-Runs-Against-the-Texas-Rangers club. Granted, all three of the Tigers' home runs have been solo shots. But with the way Fister's pitching, solo shots are plenty. And even if we've seen the last of Doug Fister, we know the Tigers' bullpen isn't in the habit of blowing late leads - they're 80-0 after leading through the seventh inning.
There's a pitching change in the bottom of the seventh, and it's now Tigers 5, Rangers 1.
Miguel Cabrera put the Tigers in front 2-1 with a two-out double in the bottom of the fifth. In the sixth, Doug Fister came out and protected that narrow advantage, working around a leadoff HBP to keep the Rangers off the board. The HBP was of Ian Kinsler, in the back, so nothing serious, but it put Fister in a dangerous situation. Six pitches later, he was out of it.
To the bottom half we went, and immediately the Tigers produced a hugely important insurance run. I shouldn't say "the Tigers". I should say "a Tiger". Specifically, Jhonny Peralta. Peralta did it all by himself, blasting Colby Lewis' first pitch of the inning - a low-inside fastball - over the left field wall for a solo homer.
That doubled the Tigers' lead, and if you're a fan of Win Expectancy, it improved the Tigers' chances of winning this game from 74 percent to 84 percent. Maybe that seems underwhelming to you, but trust me, ten percentage points is a pretty big deal.
But! The Tigers weren't finished. Two outs later, Andy Dirks chased Lewis with a single to left. Dirks stole second base off reliever Koji Uehara, and scored when Austin Jackson rolled a grounder back up the middle and into center field. BAM! 4-1!
That's where the damage stopped, but 4-1 is a hell of a lot better than 2-1 going into the seventh, and Fister's thrown just 76 pitches. It's beginning to look like we might have a series.
Colby Lewis was rolling along.
He gave up that game-tying home run to Victor Martinez in the fourth, but everything seemed copacetic again as Lewis got Ryan Raburn on a long foul and Andy Dirks on a short fly. But then Austin Jackson singled, and so did Ramon Santiago, with Jackson scooting to third base.
That brought up Miguel Cabrera, with a possibly less-than-100-percent Victor Martinez on deck. Up in the booth, Tim McCarver was screaming for an intentional walk. No, first base wasn't open but second base was, and for McCarver that was close enough.
Ron Washington and Colby Lewis were having none of it, and Lewis got ahead of Cabrera quickly, 0-and-2.
There's a reason why Miguel Cabrera won a batting title this season: He's really good at batting. Lewis's next pitch, a fastball, got too much of the plate and Cabrera lined it into the right-fielder corner for an RBI double, Santiago stopping at third base.
That did bring up Martinez, who regardless of his current percent did draw a walk to load the bases.
Big inning coming, right? Ah, but let us not forget that Don Kelly is the Tigers' No. 5 hitter in this game. There are a lot of things that Don Kelly can do, but batting No. 5 in a postseason game probably isn't something he should do.
Easy for me to say, because I just saw Don Kelly hit a soft grounder to Beltre, who played a little staring game with Cabrera before finally retreating to third base and touching the base.
Heading into the sixth, it's now Tigers 2, Rangers 1. And Doug Fister's out there again.
Well, when it rains pulled oblique muscles, it pours pulled oblique muscles. Approximately four minutes after Game 3 started, the Rangers had a 1-0 lead. The crowd in Detroit was desperate for a reason to cheer -- any reason. As Colby Lewis mowed the Tigers down over the first three innings, the crowd was understandably reserved.
Victor Martinez led off the fourth inning, and he sent a line drive into the right-field seats. It left the park in an instant, and the crowd went berserk. The Tigers are a good team, but they aren't back-from-a-3-0-deficit good. The home run reminded everyone that a win was possible tonight, and a win tonight meant that a win tomorrow was possible, and by golly, the Tigers could head back to Texas just one win away from the World Series!
Then Martinez left the game and walked down the clubhouse steps because he hurt himself on the home run swing.
As he was hobbling down the steps, he pointed to his right side, just above his waist. That seems like an oblique tweak, but I guess it could be appendicitis, a pine-tar rash, or a swollen dingerz gland. Anything's possible. But it's probably an oblique thing, which could mean that tonight isn't the only game Martinez will miss. Just brutal.
Update: He didn't leave the game at all! He's back, and he walked to load the bases in the fifth! I couldn't tell he was still in the game because he didn't take the field after his homer, and I can't think of a good reason why he couldn't.
In the top of the fourth inning - with the score still 1-0 Rangers - Adrian Beltre fouled a Doug Fister pitch off of his lower left leg. It was not the first time that Beltre fouled a pitch off of his lower left leg in the game, and he went down to the ground in obvious pain. He got back up, continued the at bat, and even put a ball in play, but it was a routine grounder to third, and he had trouble running it out. Beltre more or less limped towards first base, then limped towards the dugout where he was attended to by trainers.
Not to worry, though. After the inning (in which the Rangers didn't score, or even get a guy on base), Beltre reached for his glove and went out to the field. So he's not done yet. He's clearly in pain and if I'm the Tigers I bunt everything, literally everything to third base, but Beltre's a classic gamer and he's not coming out unless he absolutely has to.
It's worth noting now that Beltre once finished a game despite sustaining a damaged testicle earlier on. It's not that Adrian Beltre lacks pain receptors. It's that Adrian Beltre does his best to ignore what his pain receptors try to tell him. Shut up and mind your own business, pain receptors!
Colby Lewis throws a deep slider.
We know this because Tim McCarver, in his first action this postseason, said deep slider four times in the first two innings.
Now, I have to admit that I don't know what deep slider means.
He does throw a ton of sliders, roughly 27 percent of the time in both 2010 and 2011. According to FanGraphs, it was an outstanding pitch for him last season, not so much this season. Still, it's fairly safe to suggest that Lewis's slider is the pitch that got him back to the majors after two seasons in Japan, and the pitch that's made him a huge part of the Rangers' success these last two years.
Deep Slider Update: McCarver didn't say deep slider once in the third inning, but Lewis just kept pitching well.
Score Update: With Doug Fister pitching exceptionally well, too, it's still Rangers 1, Tigers 0 after three full innings.
Three batters into Tuesday night's Game 3 between the Tigers and the Rangers, the Rangers had a 1-0 lead, thanks to three singles. One of the singles wasn't terrible!
The score is still 1-0 as I write this, and I'm writing this during the commercial break between the bottom of the second and the top of the third. In the second, Doug Fister made pretty easy work of the Rangers' hitters he faced, getting around a two-out single by Yorvit Torrealba.
Colby Lewis went and got himself into more of a jam, but, yeah, as implied, the Tigers couldn't cash in. Victor Martinez drew a leadoff walk, and he moved to second on Jhonny Peralta's one out single through the hole by short. But Alex Avila struck out - continuing his slump - and then Ryan Raburn chased a slider off the plate for another strikeout that ended the inning and stranded the runners.
So that's how we got to the oh would you look at that, Doug Fister just navigated through the top of the third. Weak single, double play, strikeout. Live-blogging is hard when the pitching is good and/or the hitting is not good. To the bottom of the third we go! Lewis has thrown 41 pitches. An unsurprising number of them have been strikes.
Colby Lewis is off to a good start. In the Tigers' first crack at the Texas starter, they didn't hit a ball in fair territory: pop foul, strikeout, strikeout.
As Al Yellon wrote earlier today, this is nothing new for Lewis, who entered tonight's start with four wins and a 1.67 ERA in five postseason starts.
The first four of those came last October, when he
That came after an excellent regular season. Lewis didn't pitch nearly as well in this regular season, but once the postseason rolled around he took up right where he left off last October, limiting the Rays to one run in six innings while winning Game 3 of their Division Series.
Tonight? Well, it's only one inning and the four-game postseason winning streak might well end tonight.
You wanna bet against him, though?
Meanwhile, Doug Fister's pitching in the top of the second and it's still Rangers 1, Tigers 0.
Okay, section 138 ... 138 ... okay, here we are. Hold the -- Chris, don't do that to your sister. Samantha, don't encourage him. Just don't respond. You're tipping your soda, careful, CHRIS DAMMIT STOP THAT. Okay. Row N. Z ... W ... T ... N. Seats 15, 16, and 17, guys. Come on. Keep up. Seats 15 ... oh, excuse me, I think these are ours. Yeah, you're one down, I think. Thanks. Thanks. Okay. Okay, we're here.
1-0? What the crap?
Sorry about that. Let me catch you up. Ian Kinsler led the game off with a single on the first pitch from Doug Fister. Elvis Andrus then chopped the third pitch of his at-bat just through the right side. Josh Hamilton got jammed and, uh, fisted a pitch just over the reach of Jhonny Peralta to score Kinsler. Just a few minutes after the game started, seven pitches in, the Rangers were up 1-0 and threatening to score more.
Fister did some exemplary damage control, though, getting Michael Young to ground into a double play, and striking out Adrian Beltre. Still, the early scoring really did a lot to quiet the raucous Detroit crowd.
Delmon Young, as you know, was left off the Tigers' initial ALCS roster due to a minor oblique injury. And then Young, as you know, was re-added to the Tigers' roster to replace the injured Magglio Ordonez. Young even started Monday's Game 2 in Texas.
But Young did not look good - even for him - and while he got himself into Jim Leyland's original starting lineup for Game 3, he's been scratched. The injury is still bothering him, and he's too sore to play.
Leyland doesn't know about Young's availability going forward, and it wouldn't be a surprise to find out that Young aggravated the injury by playing. But that's me trying to pass off speculation as insight. It might have happened, or it might not have happened!
Young will be replaced in Game 3 by Andy Dirks, and truth be told, this might actually make the Tigers better. It's bad that Young is hurt, obviously, but Dirks is the superior defensive outfielder, and his bat isn't a bad bet. Especially on Tuesday, given that Dirks swings from the left side, and Rangers starter Colby Lewis is a righty. Dirks probably should've been in the lineup from the beginning.
No word yet on whether Dirks will simply slide into Young's place Tuesday or whether Leyland will shuffle the whole lineup, but we'll let you know when we know.
The new lineup:
Austin Jackson, CF
Ramon Santiago#, 2B
Miguel Cabrera, 1B
Victor Martinez#, DH
Don Kelly*, 3B
Jhonny Peralta, SS
Alex Avila*, C
Ryan Raburn, LF
Andy Dirks*, RF
Rangers manager Ron Washington has announced his lineup for Game 3, in which his club will face right-hander Doug Fister:
1. Ian Kinsler, 2B
2. Elvis Andrus, SS
3. Josh Hamilton*, CF
4. Michael Young, 1B
5. Adrian Beltre, 3B
6. Mike Napoli, DH
7. Nelson Cruz, RF
8. Yorvit Torrealba, C
9. Endy Chavez*, LF
Two new players! Yorvit Torrealba hasn't started for the Rangers since Game 1 of the Rangers' Division Series against the Yankees, and Endy Chavez hasn't played in a postseason game since 2006.
Chavez is in there because he bats left-handed and hey, why not?
Torrealba's in there because hey, he hasn't played in a while and Mike Napoli's tired of squatting and also Mitch Moreland, while a left-handed hitter, lately doesn't look like he could hit an orange with a tennis racket. He probably could, if given a chance. But that rally-killing double play in the ninth inning of Game 2 was probably enough to get Moreland at least one game off. And if Torrealba hits in Game 3, you might never see Mitch Moreland again.
Tuesday's Game 3 of the ALCS between the Tigers and the Rangers has a righty on the mound for Texas, so in response, Jim Leyland has put together the following starting lineup:
Austin Jackson, CF
Don Kelly*, 3B
Delmon Young, LF
Miguel Cabrera, 1B
Victor Martinez#, DH
Alex Avila*, C
Jhonny Peralta, SS
Ryan Raburn, RF
Ramon Santiago#, 2B
I say "unsurprising" in the headline because this is basically identical to the lineup the Tigers used against righty Ivan Nova in Game 5 of the ALDS, except with Ryan Raburn in place of the injured Magglio Ordonez.
It's probably not the best possible lineup they could put together. For one thing, three of the first four batters are right-handed, and Colby Lewis is really tough on righties. And for another, Delmon Young is starting ahead of the left-handed Andy Dirks, even though Dirks is the superior defender, and probably the superior bat given this particular matchup. Especially with Young still below 100 percent due to his minor oblique injury.
But Leyland and the Tigers believe in Young as a big bat, so they're not going to leave him out in favor of some unproven kid. Not now, not with their backs against the wall in the ALCS. They want Young, so they'll play Young.
Wilson Betemit will be available as a switch-hitting weapon off the bench. Betemit's still hitless in the playoffs, but he's batted .290 over the last two regular seasons with an .838 OPS, and he's historically been more dangerous from the left side. He'd almost certainly be a better play at third base than Don Kelly, so go ahead and count that as another critique.

NFL's Buccaneers For Sale - Terrible Team Yours For ~$1 Billion
[size=12pt]NFL's Buccaneers For Sale - Terrible Team Yours For ~$1 Billion[/size]
Nicholas Carlson|Oct. 29, 2009, 9:44 AM
The Glazer family is trying to sell the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,their NFL franchise. Tampa sports talk radio station WDAE broke the news.
Forbes valued the Buccaneers franchise at $1.085 billion in 2009.
The source of the Glazer family's trouble may be the UK soccer team it also owns, Manchester United.
That was a highly-leveraged buyout, and Man-U is now thought to be in as much as $1.8 billion debt.
That debt may be one reason the Buccaneers' payroll is an astounding $30 million under the NFL's salary cap. It's almost unheard of for NFL owners not to spend as much on salary as they can.
The Buccaneers are winless on the year.
Thanks to Josdin for the awesome sig!

Re: NFL's Buccaneers For Sale - Terrible Team Yours For ~$1 Billion
That is funny.... I just posted in the parity thread that I thought they were shedding dollars.
Now that this is posted, it reminds me of Red and how he had the cap
down while he was trying to
sell the team..
I think it is a positive (Edit: for them to sell the team).
A new owner isn't handcuffed by the players he inherits.
They can build their own teams.
How many teams are sold when they are on top?
Re: NFL's Buccaneers For Sale - Terrible Team Yours For ~$1 Billion
It wasn't but a couple of years back, maybe a couple of couple of years back that they were gung ho about the Bucs.
The Glazers were one of the proponents that got this NFL in England going.
I wonder if they are getting out of sports or just concentrating their efforts.
They did/or still do own part of Manchester United I think.
Just did a search......

TAMPA - A group of British journalists arrived in Tampa last week to gather material for Sunday's National Football League matchup in London between the Buccaneers and the New England Patriots.
They toured the club's lavish facility and were granted private interviews with Bucs head coach Raheem Morris and veteran players Ronde Barber and Cadillac Williams.
But when they asked for a few minutes with Tampa Bay's reclusive owners, after a 5,000-mile journey overseas, they received a predictable response.
Access denied.
Almost 15 years after purchasing the Buccaneers for $192 million, the Glazers find themselves being pilloried on both sides of the Atlantic.

Any truth to a convenience store planned,7-11, at Santa Rita, West Las Positas...at Valero?

This really isn't a surprise. Many stores sell to minors without carding and/or kids go and get fake IDs. The donut shop in the Trader Joe's shopping center use to cell cigarettes to minors ALL the time back in the '90s and early '00s. Buy a certain amount of donuts and they'd put the cigarettes in the bottom of the bag.

A year in the life of a new garden
This is the story of the first year of the Transition Dartmouth Park community garden, based at Highgate Newtown Community Centre (HNCC), and of the people who created it.
Since deciding to embark on a food growing project at our open space meeting back in January, we worked in parnership with the community centre, and they allowed us to clear and transform their disused garden. Our aim was to learn, teach and inspire others to grow food, and to provide some fresh food for the HNCC cafe.
Our first look at the garden, on a rainy Sunday afternoon in January was quite daunting. The garden is north-facing, shaded by the community centre, and overgrown hedges blocked out most of the light. It was covered in weeds, and piles of fallen leaves from the London plane tree just outside the gate. Feeling slightly overwhelmed with the task ahead, we invited urban permaculture teacher Rakesh Bhambri to run an 'Intro to Permaculture' course. The course was wonderful, and thirteen of us learnt the principles of permaculture, how to observe and design our space, and most importantly what we could grow in such conditions.
Our plan made, we gathered on Sundays to cut the hedges, clear the leaves and most of the (non-edible) weeds, and eventually to build raised beds from salvaged floorboards from refurbuished flats on the nearby Holly Lodge estate (with a bit of help from Ian, a carpenter who lives above the community centre).
At the end of March we held a 'Seedy Saturday' at the centre to network with other local growers, let people know about our project, and of course to get some seeds. We had some brilliant workshops from Tom Moggach, who brought along delicious salad; and from Guerilla Gardener Richard Reynolds, among others. The best bits were some local children bringing along their home-incubated bantam hens and setting up a pen in the middle of the community hall(!) - that and seeing the previously dank and disused garden suddenly filled with sunshine and people eating lunch.
In mid-April we had a huge delivery of five tons of municipal compost and were amazed by how many people came to help us move it with shovels and wheelbarrows to the garden, and to other local food growing spaces in schools and on estates.
We started planting, our spirits undampened by six weeks of rain, and despite the weather our garden began to bloom – first our salad, then our runner beans began to climb their canes, broad beans rose from the soil and the herbs flourished. Worms multiplied in our new wormery.
In June we invited all who had been involved, neighbours, and community centre users, to bring along lunch to share and to harvest the first salad. We feasted on delicious homemade food; filled bowls with lettuce, mustard leaves, pak choi and oriental greens; and chatted to those we knew and others who were joining us for the first time. On the same afternoon we were joined by container growing guru Mark Ridsell Smith for a workshop and ended the afternoon with our own trays of newly planted chilis and beanshoots to take away. We were also working on a project with students from Central St Martins who looked at designing ways to tell the story of the garden and engage more people. That day they presented us with a beautiful prototype – a book for us to write our stories and messages, and enlisted garden users and visitors to fill in in.
Workshops continued monthly with Master Gardener Anita Gracie, local herbalist Kimberly Walker and our permaculture teacher Rakesh all popping in for weekend advice sessions. We also added a second weekly session on Tuesday afternoons, led by Claudia, a local mum with a passion for gardening, whose children attend the gymnastics class in the community centre at the same time. It has proved popular with parents and kids as it is held at the centre's busiest time of the week.
It has been hard to keep the momentum of weekly sessions - all of us work, garden at home and have other community commitments - but we've had a consistent core of people involved from the start, and the workshops have brought people along. The permaculture course and workshops have also been useful to others in the area who are learning to grow; our Transition garden sharers, a local tenants association and the organisers of our primary school gardening club have all attended.
Our crops have been pretty good - we were lucky that the garden was designed for very little sun, slugs and snails took a long time to find the new raised beds, and the municipal compost drains well and stays moist. Our salad crop was fantastic and so were our runner beans, nasturtiums, herbs, wildflowers and several kinds of spinach (including Russian Red). Yellow and red cherry tomatoes flourished (eventually) in pots and the sunny spots and even our baby sweetcorn did well. But snails ate one cougette plant after another and then moved onto the peas. Kitchen staff have gradually started to add some of the produce and herbs from the garden to their cooking as well as using the wormery for their veg peelings.
Catharine observed that what has been amazing about the garden is that we started it with no money and very little skills or experience, but still made it happen. We found that asking for help - seeds, advice, compost, wood - was always rewarded with us not only getting what the garden needed but also with more people becoming involved and us forming greater links with our neighbours and other local food growing projects.
Dinaz says: "The HNCC garden project was a magnificent opportunity for Connection. Moving into York Rise and immediately connecting with nature that was sprinkled through the Dartmouth Park area. Connecting with a community at HNCC that reflected the cultures of so many. Connecting with the basic inter-relationship between food, and humankind - growing vegetables, eating off the soil. Connecting with london waste to get 5 tons of compost delivered outside HNCC. Yes - its been a great connect. Thanks Transition Dartmouth Park."
The project was conceived not only as a chance to grow and eat food locally, but as part of Transition Dartmouth Park's initial awareness raising and outreach. Locating it in the community centre and using it for public events, including the centre's own summer party, has definitely helped to achieve this. The community centre has been amazingly supportive and like what we have done so much, they have agreed to allow us to begin work on their second garden. We're also discussing the possibility of turning some of the community centre car park (south facing and sunny) into a space for allotment bags for people locally who don't have their own growing spaces.
This Sunday we'll celebrate the harvest and Transition Dartmouth Park's first birthday with a potluck BBQ lunch, potato harvesting session, and listen to some winter growing advice from Anita. Rita's husband is bringing along drinks (alcoholic and soft) made from local foraged berries, Linda is baking a birthday cake, and there will be children's activities. Most importantly it will be a celebration of all that we have learnt this year and the neighbours we have met and become friends with.

The story of your community27 September 2012 - 10:31pm — Caroline Jackson
The story of your community garden is so encouraging Sara- it's enough to send anyone off to start their own. As well as having a good core of people with the enthusiasm to take it on, you also seem to have chosen a great space, not so good for growing but really well placed for community to see it and get drawn in. It's strange to see that having no money actually seemed to be an advanatage - it forced you to go asking for help and to make some brilliant links. Great blog!
Postscript30 September 2012 - 11:46pm — Sara Ayech
Thanks Caroline, and as a follow up, the BBQ was today, it didn't rain, and despite my 'nobody's going to come to my party' fears, they did. It was lovely - we BBQ'd purple potatoes, corn on the cob and even a huge squash which somehow grew in a container with hardly any sun! Then we had our vegan chocolate and local plum birthday cake - yum!!
I love your story too, it's so encouraging that all of your work in publicising and giving out leaflets really paid off. We've had our fair share of rained off work days too and I know how disillusioning it can feel.

Written by Nadine Cheung
October conjures images of falling leaves, Halloween, pumpkin carving, jack-o-lanterns and, of course, pumpkin pie. However, not all pumpkins are alike. In fact, there are dozens of varieties, some of which are delightfully delicious and some that are best used for decoration.
Before you hit the patch, there are a few things you should consider. First, are you looking for a pumpkin to eat, carve or paint? Once you've established what you want to do with your squash, you can use these tips to pick up the best variety for your needs.
Edible Pumpkins
The truth is, all pumpkins are edible. It's just that the bigger carving varieties have lower sugar content, thin walls and stringy, sometimes watery flesh. Of course, the meat from large pumpkins can be pureed for soups, muffins and breads, but you never want to use a pumpkin for cooking after it's been carved and displayed for decoration.
For fresh pumpkin pie, smaller and sweeter pumpkin varieties are best. Choose pumpkins that are 3-6 pounds in weight, and have names like Sugar Pie, New England Pie or Baby Pam Pumpkin. Look for a pumpkin with 1-2 inches of stem. If it's green, even better—that means your pumpkin is super fresh. The shape of the pumpkin is unimportant, but it should be free of blemishes and soft spots.
Carving Pumpkins
Technically, any type of pumpkin, gourd or squash can be carved, but you want to select ones that are easy for you and your kids to handle. Whether you're picking them out at a farm or at the grocery store, make sure that your pumpkin is healthy and free of decay. If you're headed for the patch, lift the pumpkin off the ground and make sure the underside hasn't started to rot.
You'll want a mature pumpkin with consistent coloring, and one that gives off a hollow sound when you tap it. Make sure the outside is firm to the touch, and never carry your pumpkin by the stem. It can easily break off and leave your pumpkin open to rot. The Jack-O-Lantern variety is the most common for carving, but white Lumina pumpkins are a beautifully creepy choice for Halloween, too.
Pumpkins for Painting
You can essentially paint any kind of pumpkin, but you'll want to start with a bump-free canvas. Since pumpkins often have ribbing, smooth-skin varieties like Orange Smoothie, Cotton Candy and Lumina are your best bets.
If you want to eat the pumpkins after the kids have decorated them, be sure to use non-toxic paint. Otherwise, acrylic, latex and puff paint will all stick to your squash. Use black spray paint for a spooky base, or try a gold metallic spray paint for an elegant spin on your holiday decor.
If you're still curious about pumpkins, here's more info on some of the different varieties (pictured above):
Red Kuri Pumpkin
Red Kuri pumpkins have a teardrop shape and smooth flesh. With their nutty flavor, they're great for making pies, muffins, breads and more. This variety is primarily grown in California, Florida and Southwestern Colorado.
Jack-O-Lantern Pumpkin
The Jack-O-Lantern pumpkin is the ultimate carving pumpkin, and likely the variety you're picking up at your local patch or grocery store. Their thin walls make them easy to cut and allow candlelight to shine through once you've finished your Halloween designs.
Long Pie Pumpkin
The Long Pie pumpkin is an heirloom variety with a long shape unlike traditional carving pumpkins. The fruits weigh an average of 5 to 8 pounds, and are best used for pies, since their meat is fleshy and not stringy. This variety is also known as the Nantucket Pie.
Sugar Pie Pumpkin
It's no surprise that Sugar Pies are great for baking fresh pies. This variety offers sweet, fine-grain flesh and thin skin, as opposed to the thick rind of a carving pumpkin. Of course, you also can use this tasty variety in soups, casseroles and more.
Cinderella Pumpkin
Cinderella pumpkins are another heirloom variety hailing from France, where they call them Rouge vif d'Etampes. The nickname was appropriately inspired by the carriage that Cinderella's fairy godmother turned into a pumpkin. Not only are they great for decoration, but they also make delicious pies.

The graceful ease with which a good bartender mixes drinks masks the difficulty of the job, one that requires knowledge and dexterity—not to mention charisma. The seasoned barkeeps at Bartender of America, a TIPS-certified school, know what it takes to be a good bartender and lead their students through deliberate exercises inside a fully simulated tavern environment. Amid ambient sounds and music, novice bartenders dole out maraschino cherries and shake martinis while refining their conversational skills and learning how to identify underage kids by their mustaches. Fully committed students can opt for the entire Bar 101 curriculum, attaining a bartending license and valuable tricks for managing their resume and acing job interviews, while abbreviated classes offer insight into the fundamentals of the trade.
Canadian electrofunk duo Chromeo exhales party-starting inertia, kicking off its Night Falls Tour by rolling out a carpet of dance-floor passports. Melding the talents of guitarist, vocalist, and French-literature buff Dave 1 with the dexterous fingers and throwback savvy of synthmaster P-Thugg, Chromeo has earned reverence from funkophiles for its slick grooves and mastery of jam architecture. Fans can expect congenial beats, riffing Moogs, and song craft that father-and-son yachts can enjoy together in support of the band's latest album, Business Casual. Inflating the soulful evening, singer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Mayer Hawthorne channels wandering Motown spirits with a retroactive Detroit sound, and French funk enthusiast Breakbot sets the scene with genre jumping and remixes that rumble like tubas in a Cuisinart.
Overhung with glittering chandeliers and surrounded by billowing red curtains, The Fillmore Silver Spring's main room easily holds elegant concerts and thrashing dance parties alike on its hardwood floor. Balconies equipped with tables and chairs allow VIP seclusion, elevated sightlines of onstage antics, and easy conversation with GA-ticket-holding giraffes.
Dance Place first leapt onto the scene more than three decades ago as an educational and performing arts company that toured local schools. In the years since, it has grown into a multi-faceted operation and source of both entertainment and instruction.
Every weekend, Dance Place dazzles crowds with performances in modern dance, African Dance, performance art, and spoken word. Rather than hiring a sketch artist to doodle each dance step into a flipbook, spectators can learn the moves they see on stage by enrolling in one of Dance Place's programs, or by dropping into an adult or children's class. Dance Place has remained true to its roots through its continued support of local schools, and to this day organizes family-friendly performances, workshops, and school assemblies.
The young Italian tenor trio Il Volo impresses audiences with pitch-leaping vocal performances rich in three-part harmonies. Performing renditions of classic Italian songs as well as material penned by contemporary songwriters, the teenage opera singers showcase budding international appeal and the promise of a bright future that consists of crooning crowds and autographing customs slips at airports. Opening act Ethan Bortnick, a 10-year-old piano prodigy known as the youngest entertainer to headline his own concert tour and attempt to purchase a monster truck, starts out the night with original piano compositions as well as recognizable classics.
Formed in the glory days of heavy metal, Queensrÿche rocks audiences with songs that reveal the fierce polish of 30 years of evolving artistry. The band's distinctive mix of prog rock, metal, and subliminal messaging rocketed their Empire album up the charts, launching hits such as "Silent Lucidity," "Jet City Woman," and "Best I Can." Normally reserved only for members of Queensrÿche's fan club, a backstage meet-and-greet lets a small group of the devoted make personal connections with the four lords of loudness, shaking their lightning-fast hands and comparing headbanging techniques. With experience opening for Nickelback and Staind, opening band The Fifth's wailing guitars rally fist pumps and head thrashes as raging as a riverbed full of angry bulls.

What Does the Future of the Fire Service Hold?
The year is 2038. Many of you who are entering the fire service this year will be just about ready to pack it in and head off for a retirement home in the southwest. If I am still around, I hope to be a healthy 91-year-old guy, sitting out on my front...
The year is 2038. Many of you who are entering the fire service this year will be just about ready to pack it in and head off for a retirement home in the southwest. If I am still around, I hope to be a healthy 91-year-old guy, sitting out on my front porch enjoying a tasty cigar. With any luck you might be able to get a job as a tour guide at the Alan Brunacini Memorial Museum to Fire Service Progress. I will be too old to walk the halls any longer.
However, before we go any further, I have a question for you today that relates directly to that faraway moment in time. My question to you is simple, but critical. What type of fire department will you be leaving at that time in the future? What sorts of jobs and tasks will they be performing and how will they accomplish these tasks? What tasks do you think that you will be doing? For this visit with you I have decided to put down my books and pick up a crystal ball to see if I can divine anything from the future, based upon my nearly 50 years in the fire service.
However, before I start my trip into the future, I would like to explain my feelings about time and how it works. An understanding of my view of life will be critical to making sense out of this article. I am of the opinion that time is like one big continuum. Every tomorrow that you will ever face in your entire life, is tied directly to a very enjoyable and comfortable today. And of course every today that you will ever live is tied immediately to a very happy and nostalgic yesterday.
Think about it. Do you honestly believe that people went around complaining about what a gyp it was to live in the Dark Ages? Conversely, do you think that people went around constantly thanking their lucky stars for being able to live through the Renaissance? I don't. I would suggest to you that the names for these ages are merely labels which were applied by historians and academicians at a later date.
So there you have it, The Harry Carter Theory of Time. What I am really trying to tell you here is that it is critical for you to get ready today. I say this because tomorrow is only a few short hours away. And do not forget the lessons of yesteryear, as they can serve as the baseline for your future-oriented GPS.
It's my firm opinion that 25 years from now each of us will still be faced with fires to fight. Regardless of how much we believe that we can do with public education, code enforcement or fire prevention, there will still be fires. Given that human nature will still be around to make mistakes, I feel safe in saying that fires will still be a part of our problem package. But this does not have to be cast in concrete.
Let me strongly suggest that if our collective emphasis can be shifted more towards fire prevention, there may well be a lot less of them to fight. And if we can move toward residential automatic sprinklers, there will be fewer fatalities and less fire spread. But we had best get up on our horse and begin riding out to sound the call to arms.
That is what the Vision 20/20 Project is working hard to accomplish. As the president of the United States Branch of the Institution of Fire Engineers of Great Britain, one of my areas of responsibility is this vital project. We have identified areas which must be addressed and have worked to create programs to assist the fire service in reducing the incidence and severity of fire.
These are truly tomorrow-oriented matters which can be pursued today. Hit the bricks and go to work on behalf of fire safety matters.
A Look Into The Crystal Ball
What type of services will the fire department of 2038 be providing? An even more appropriate question might be, will we still be called fire departments? Here is a short list of where we could be headed:

3260 Manual?
Well, I've got the 154 working pretty well now. I'm about to hook-up the 3260 to it, is there any special widsom in the manual? I saw that binder books seems to have it for sale for $9, wasn't sure if it was worth it. Thanks - Lance

Let me see if I have the 3260.. I know that I have a 3x60 mower manual.. Will get back to you tomorrow. If I have it, I will scan it tomorrow night and upload it.. it isn't all that big...
Confusion breeds Discussion which breeds Knowledge which breeds Confidence which breeds Friendship
Thanks Rudi - I really appreciate that. Personally, I'm becoming more and more disapointed in modern manuals these days. They seem to be written more by lawyers then engineers.

(14 Days - Departs Daily on a Private Basis)
Barcelona, Seville, Granada, Cordoba, Madrid, Atlas Mountains, Marrakesh
This tour is the perfect introduction to Spain and Morocco, two fascinating countries with much shared heritage.
Begin in Barcelona, one of Europe's most dynamic centers of modern design and cutting-edge cuisine. Discover Gaudi's fantastical structures such as Sagrada Familia, Casa Mila, Casa Batllo or the hillside Parc Guell. Visit some of the city's excellent museums, such as the Picasso Museum or Miro Museum. Stroll along Las Ramblas—Barcelona's most famous boulevard—and explore the narrow streets of the Gothic Quarter and La Ribera. If desired, explore the city's shopping districts, stopping at upscale boutiques along the broad Passeig de Gracia and design shops in the stylish Born and Raval neighborhoods. Also visit the city's leading food markets, including the Santa Caterina Market and La Boqueria Market.
Next, fly to Seville, the capital of Andalusia and a city flavored as much by the sounds of flamenco and the smell of orange blossoms as by its 500-year domination by the Moors. Take an insider's tour of this beautiful city. Explore the charming Santa Cruz neighborhood, tour the gardens and mosaic tile-covered rooms of the Reales Alcazares—a spectacular Moorish palace, see the world's largest Gothic cathedral (which contains the tomb of Christopher Columbus), browse specialty boutiques and markets, and other cultural highlights. One evening, you may wish to attend a local flamenco performance or a bullfight at the famed bullring.
Continue to Granada, one of the richest and most populated cities in Europe during Moorish rule and still one of Spain's most breathtaking cities. With your expert private guide, tour the extraordinary Alhambra—one of the highlights of Spain—a stunning Moorish castle, palace and garden complex on a hillside overlooking the town. Visit the Generalife, the summer palace and gardens of Moorish royalty. Also tour the labyrinthine streets of the Albaicin—the old Arab Quarter—and discover a world full of winding, hilly streets, Moorish fountains, and teterías (Arabic tearooms).
Depart Granada and visit Cordoba, a capital under the Romans and the Moors. During private touring, explore the highlights of the UNESCO-listed city center, such as the incredible Cathedral-Mosque, the ancient Roman bridge, and the narrow backstreets lined with whitewashed buildings and historic buildings in the old Jewish Quarter. Continue to Madrid, the Spanish capital known for its elegant squares, stately Habsburg architecture, leafy boulevards and superb museums. With your expert private guide, explore the highlights of the city. See world-renowned museums such as the Prado Museum, Reina Sofia, CaixaForum, and/or the Thyssen-Bornemisza. Tour the majestic Royal Palace. Stroll through the exclusive shopping and residential districts. Also visit historic squares and lively markets, including the gourmet San Miguel Market.
From Madrid, fly to Morocco and transfer to the High Atlas Mountains to Kasbah Tamadot, one of Morocco's most acclaimed luxury retreats, best known for its traditional Moroccan design and stunning infinity pool overlooking the spectacular mountain views. While there, enjoy private touring to local villages and a Berber market.
End your tour in Marrakesh, an ancient city of orange groves and weathered pink buildings at the base of the Atlas Mountains. During private touring, visit fascinating local souks (markets) selling carpets, ceramics, metalware, textiles and other traditional products. Visit the Djemaa el-Fna, a carnivalesque public square where water sellers, snake charmers, magicians and storytellers compete for an audience. See the most interesting palaces, gardens and museums, such as the Jardin Majorelle, stunning gardens created by French painter Jacques Majorelle in the 1920s; the Palais de la Bahia; the Dar Si Said Museum of Moroccan Arts; the Palmerie; and the Jardin Menara, a beautiful garden with reflecting pools surrounded by groves of olive trees. Also, browse the city's stylish new shops and galleries, and dine in gourmet restaurants that are putting Marrakesh on the culinary map.

Here is a hybrid marrying the best of both worlds. It seems the clever devils at He'brew have managed to broker a rather successful match between an ale and the nuances a wine can bring to the party. Using a dubbel works as aa witte would lack the substance but triple would overpower. Botom line is I like this a lot.

Loved its name, very funny.
Hazy brown color with a thin head with short retention.
Very nice aroma of grapes and dark fruits, Belgian yeast and some booze.
Very malty and fruity, flavor of bubbling red wine and prunes. Notes of brown sugar, molasses, toasted malts, and piney and floral hops. Medium dry aftertaste.
Full body with low carbonation.
As it states, it is really a half Doppelbock and half Dubbel. Interesting and fine beer, but it is hard to drink the full big bottle. But made me curious to try the new 2013 release with figs.

Served from bottle into a Boulevard tulip. Poured a massively dark red-orange with a half finger off-white head that subsided to a minimal amount slowly. Maintained nice lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of sweet malt, grape, bread, and dark fruit. The flavor was of sweet malt, grape, and bread. It had a light feel on the palate with medium carbonation. Overall this was a pretty decent brew. I went into this one not really expecting too much and it definitely delivered. It was fairly good for the style, but definitely lacked complexity in my opinion. I know they said it was the year of the grape on this bottle, but maybe they should have tried something else??? If you like grapes in your brew this one is for you, but if not, I wouldn't bother.

22oz bottle into Duvel tulip.
Appearance: Free pour yields a 1/4 inch bonewhite head that dissipates quickly. Pours a hazy dark red and leaves no lacing.
Smell: Sugary malt with some grape undertones. Some clove-y/fig-y Belgian yeast. Very inviting. Grape tinge plus dark fruit makes it a bit red wine-like. Sharp kind of watery note (sounds weird, but I don't know how else to describe it) present as well, but mainly fluffy sweet pastries with grape and Belgian yeast highlights. Makes me want to drink it.
Taste: Pastry like malt up front, grape juice through the middle, watery finish that gets redeemed by an estery Belgian yeast-forward aftertaste. Same powerful Belgian dubbel flavors present up front in the next sip, followed by some chocolaty flavors and a caramely finish. Stays pretty diverse and tasty.
While this is half doppelbock, half dubbel, with grape juice added, I'd say it tastes more like 80% dubbel, 20% doppelbock, with some grape highlights. Regardless, it's consistently more satisfying than the previous year's Year of the Date.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied. Bit overcarbonated. Nice dryness in finish. Flavors would benefit from some smoothness/creaminess.
Overall: Not on par with Shmaltz's best beers (e.g. Jewbelation 13 original release was revelatory), but very satisfying. Huge step up from the 2009 Rejewvenator.

3.53/5 rDev -3.3%
A: The beer is clear reddish amber in color and has a moderate amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a thin beige head that quickly died down, leaving patches of bubbles on the surface and a thick ring of bubbles around the edge of the glass.
S: There are aromas of Concord grapes in the nose along with some notes of malts.
T: The taste is similar to the smell and also has notes of raisins. There is a slight amount of sweetness with no apparent sweetness.
M: It feels medium-bodied on the palate and has a low to moderate amount of carbonation.
O: The bottle says this is half doppelbock and half dubbel but I don't really see many similarities from either of these styles. It's pretty easy to drink considering its strength.

Consumed at Blue Palms Brewhouse, Hollywood CA on January 27, 2012.
Beer is a dark amber brown with ruby highlights. Very fine one-finger off-white to light tan head.
Not much aroma - some red grape. Tiny touch of musty malts.
Flavor is strong and none too pleasant. Tastes like Manischewitz Concord Grape wine with bitter wood accents blended with musty old malts. Kind of like sneaking some wine in a cellar. Not enjoyable!
Slightly dry on the finish, which goes a little way to ameliorating the frankly bad flavor.
It is safe to say I did not care for this beer at all, though I did manage to finish my glass.

this was aged 2 years, 22oz bottle poured into a Duvel tulip.
Appearance: Good look to start, Browish-red, with very little head, no retention, and very little lacing.
Nose: Grapes, Figs, dates, and candy sugar
Taste: Grapes and raisins at the beginning with a bit of malt and toast, then it just fades into a nasty grapey finish that is hard to overlook
Mouthfeel: Carbonation supporting a medium body, but it's impossible to shake the grape aftertaste, it carries over into the finish.
Overall: This started out nicely, but there was way too much grape and raisin- it was a drain pour for 4 out of 7 of us.

At the same place where military families gather to say goodbye to loved ones heading to war, people lined up to bid farewell to Congressman Bill Young.
At the Armed Forces Reserve Center in Pinellas Park that bears his name, they passed flags carried by a group called the Patriot Guard.
Related story: Rep. C.W. Young's body returns home
"Congressman Bill Young, great guy," said Patriot Guard member Dave Swierenga. "He's gonna be well missed. He did a lot for this community. Just gonna say, just a great guy. His name is gonna go on for a long time around here."
Congressman Young is remembered as a voice in Washington for the military, including active duty, and returning veterans.
"Congressman C.W. Bill Young was a champion of the American fighting man and woman. He cared for them deeply. He was one of them," said Major General Emmett Titshaw.
Many consider the senior Congressman as much more than a lawmaker.
"It's a sad day. It's tough. We've lost a great public servant, a good friend too soon," said former St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Baker.
The family of Congressman Young released a statement reading as follows: "Our family would like to thank the thousands of people who have come out this evening to pay their respects to our husband, our father, and our grandfather. He touched so many lives over his 53 years of public service to the people of our nation, our state and our community. He loved this community and this is a special moment to see that love shared by so many this evening."
The funeral service is scheduled for Thursday at 1 p.m. at First Baptist Church of Indian Rocks in Largo.

In a private ceremony, Congressman Young will be buried at Bay Pines Cemetery next to his mother.

For centuries the Chinese therapy of acupuncture has been used to treat a number of conditions. In 1997 the U.S. National Institutes of Health formally recognized acupuncture as a mainstream medicine healing option. Nancy Naeve Brown talked to a family medicine doctor at the Avera McGreevy Clinic on 69th in Sioux Falls who is also now a Certified Acupuncturist.
Nancy asks Certified Acupuncturist Dr. Dawn Flickema at the Avera McGreevy Clinic at 69th, "What is it about sticking needles in your skin that fixes things?"
Dr. Flickema says, "It's a very old type form of medicine. Some texts will say 5,000 years old so it's been proven over time. A lot of research has been done over what a meridian is that the acupuncture needle is stimulating, but over many many years they were able to map out meridians and specific points on the body that are helpful in treating various medical conditions."
Nancy asks, "Can you go through some of the conditions you are treating with acupuncture?"
Dr. Flickema says, "I've had several patients come in for menopausal hot flashes, infertility treatments (to augment fertility), allergies were a hot topic this year and we've had great success with that, stomach conditions like some of your high acid or irritable bowel."
It really can treat everything from head to toe. For more information about acupuncture here at Avera McGreevy 69th call 605.322.5240 or for general questions 877-AT-AVERA. www.AveraMcGreevyClinic.org

The Alabama Highway Patrol says Carlie Suzann Lloyd, 16, of Phenix City and Ashley Cheyanne Arrowsmith, 15, of Salem, AL were killed Sunday night in a one-vehicle accident. They were traveling north in a 2001 Ford F-250 pickup when the truck ran off the road, overturned, and struck a tree. The accident happened on Flournoy Road and Highway 80 around 9:45 p.m., about five miles west of Phenix City. State Troopers say Lloyd was the driver. The coroner, Arthur Sumbry, Jr., says both girls died upon impact from blunt force trauma. Arrowsmith was a student at Smiths Station Freshman Center, while Lloyd attended Smiths Station High. Grief counselors were at the high school and freshman academy Monday for students. Both of the young ladies loved to ride horses. A memorial barrel race has been set up in their honor. The event is set for June 23 in Phenix City in the same location as the Bratton Automotive Rodeo. Money raised from the event will go to help the families of both girls with funeral expenses.

LIke the one in Clayton's hands, Galloway. If the Bucs only had receivers......
Quote from: Eli10 on October 30, 2006, 11:14:01 AMLIke the one in Clayton's hands, Galloway. If the Bucs only had receivers......If the Giants only had a Tight End. How many games has that wussbag Shockey been injured for over the years? How many passes have hit Shockey's hands, then hit the ground over the years?
You see where that got Ratboy!
Eli10, good post! Your right, you all had patience with Eli and it's paying off. Most of these posters know very little about football. They would have already cut Big Ben by now.
From ESPN:Bruce Gradkowski's Bucs lost to the Giants 17-3, but he threw 48 passes without an interception. Gradkowski has thrown a total 155 passes with only one INT in his rookie season. The only other players in NFL history with just one interception among their first 150 passes were Tom Brady and Gradkowski's current backup, Tim Rattay.

For any problem, you can find good and bad solutions. A Band-Aid on a broken leg isn't the most effective remedy. Likewise, Elaine's Seinfeldian answer to NYC's sometimes inhospitable citizenry -- name tags for everyone -- falls short. In shareholder activism, and for smaller investors looking to ride activist investors' coattails, the same standard holds. There are best practices, less effective means, and those that eviscerate shareholders' hard-earned dollars.
All of which raises the question: For individual investors trying to maximize their long-term returns, what's the best way to draft activists -- the investors whose outsize stakes and, often, influence give them the power to steer the company behind the stock? Let's look at some of the more common activist agendas, the qualitative merits and potential pitfalls, and how to put yourself on the right side of things. I expect this topic, among others, to receive airtime at IMN's 4th Annual Active-Passive Investor Summit, which I'll be attending next week.
Dress for success: A common-sense checklist
Most value hogs are familiar with the qualitative case for activism, as I've mentioned before. Managers, being human, mess up. They make poor capital-allocation decisions, build empires, willfully and greedily abuse their power, and in rare cases treat companies like their piggy banks -- the consequence of overconfidence, groupthink, or heuristic-driven decision methods. The sales pitch goes that activists provide accountability, independent perspective, and ideas on how to create value.
That's great on paper, but some activists are no different than the managers they criticize -- they're susceptible to short-termism, decision-making folly, and worst of all, greed. Some are outright self-dealers, verging on nefarious. Like whiskey's purportedly curative properties for colds and swine flu, there are effective ways to treat a patient -- and those less so. Aligning yourself with the right activists and situations is critical to successful long-term investments. Choose situations that stack the odds in your favor. Here's how.
1. Soft activism: Calling your significant other insufferably vapid doesn't elicit a positive reaction -- or a meaningful shift in behavior, for that matter. Telling managers they've got it wrong in bellicose, derisive language isn't the most effective tactic, either. Instead, you're more likely to encounter a defensive audience. Activists with a history of constructive engagement are received with open arms, as a partner with common goals. Follow them before the cage-rattlers.
2. The right jockey: Some folks have it, others don't. Aligning yourself with activists who have a record of success, who've consistently undertaken measures benefiting shareholders on a long-term basis, is critical. A few I like: Jeff Ubben's ValueAct, Alex Roepers' Atlantic Investment Management, David Nierenberg's D3 Family Funds, Nelson Peltz's Trian Partners, Barry Rosenstein's JANA Partners, and Jeff Smith's Starboard Value (some of whom will speak at the conference). Never forget: What's good for one activist investor may not be right for you.
3. Incentives and governance: In the end, all business is about capital allocation. An otherwise good business can wither under an ineffective, incompetent, or self-dealing capital allocator. Many varieties of activism apply a Band-Aid without regard to the long-term effects. Activism that encourages effective capital allocation -- and installs the appropriate checks and balances -- addresses the root cause and best positions shareholders for long-term value creation. Follow activists with a history of the latter. Specific measures to look for: creating independent boards, developing pay/incentives that align shareholders' interests with management's, and installing the right leaders. A recent example, and for long-suffering shareholders, hopeful beneficiary: Chesapeake Energy . A natural gas explorer endowed with legion resources, its share price has been dragooned by a governance nightmare, and former CEO McClendon's brand of cowboy capital allocation.
4. Spinoffs: In the sleeve of activism tricks, agitating for spinoffs or splitting companies is a favorite strategy. And the empirical evidence supports it. The Bloomberg Spin-Off Index has generated annualized returns of 15%, versus 6% for the S&P, since its 2003 inception. Managers at spinoffs have a way of finding so-called efficiencies -- but choose your spinoffs carefully.
Sometimes, the spinoff comes loaded with debt. Still other times, a strategic asset is decoupled from a parent, weakening its long-term prospects. Seek spinoffs of unrelated businesses, where a conglomerate discount is most likely, and appropriately leveraged balance sheets. One that succeeded: Fortune Brands Home and Security -- a cash-rich spinoff of great brands, previously obscured by a conglomerate discount. One designed to fail: Orchard Supply Hardware, a debt-laden home improvement retailer, formerly part of the Sears Holdings family.

Dolphins Blank Winthrop To Take Weekend Series
Related Links
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - On the verge of an offensive break out all week, the Dolphins finally delivered on Sunday with a season high 15 hits in a 8-0 win over Winthrop to give Jacksonville its first series win of the season.
Michael Babb (Jacksonville, Fla.), Connor Marabell (Jacksonville, Fla.) and Cameron Gibson (Conyers, Ga.,) led the way for the Dolphins offensively combining for eight hits in the heart of the lineup as eight of the nine starters hit safely in the game for the second time this season. On the mound Justin Russell (Jacksonville, Fla.) picked up his second win of the year tossing six shutout innings allowing only five hits and three walks with four strikeouts.
"It comes down to pitching and defense and I thought we executed as well as we have so far in this young season," said Head Coach Tim Montez. "We did a good job of scoring first today then extending the lead. Our 2-3-4 hitters had over half our hits when you get production from that part of the lineup good things are going to happen."
Good things happened for Jacksonville (3-7) early on when a double to left by Babb (2-for-4; 3 runs) and a single by Marabell (3-for-5; 1 run, 1 RBI) gave the Dolphins a 1-0 lead in the first. The club added another in the second when a two-out double by freshman Khalil Searcy (Jacksonville, Fla.) scored Seth Dewitt (Jacksonville, Fla.) all the way from first.
Angelo Amendolare (Edgewater, Fla.) made it 3-0 with a RBI single in the fourth setting the stage for the Dolphins breakout inning in the fifth. Jacksonville broke the game open with three runs on three hits. Gibson (3-for-5; 1 run, 3 RBI), Braddock Rowe (Jacksonville, Fla.) and Scott Schaub (Ocala, Fla.) all had RBI in the frame as the Dolphins built up their largest lead this season.
Coming off an off outing last Saturday, Russell returned to form on the hill following a momentum changing double play in the first. The junior right-hander put two on with one out in the opening inning before inducing a 6-4-3 inning ending double play that cut a Winthrop (6-5) rally short. Russell would then cruise through the next two innings before working out of another jam in the fourth and then again in the sixth when the Dolphins turned their second double-play of the game and 11th this season.
"That was the key to the ball game for him," Montez said of the double-play for Russell in the first. "It was just a matter of having him settle in there a bit and slow things down so he could keep making the pitches he needed when they could have had something going offensively. He did a nice job and we got two double plays today to back him up."
Ray Moody (Greenville, Ala.), Zach Gordon (St. Petersburg, Fla.) and Parker Perez (Winter Springs, Fla.) each tossed a scoreless inning out of the bullpen to seal the win.
With Russell's outing today the Jacksonville starters didn't allow a single run in 22 combined innings pitched in the three game series and gave the Dolphins staff its first back-to-back shutouts since the 2002 season.
"It was a good weekend for the starting pitchers, they took a plan into the weekend and executed it," said Montez. "We can enjoy this now for 12 hours then it's back to work on Monday. We have a very good nationally ranked Indiana team coming in next weekend that can absolutely swing the bats. It's going to be a tremendous test for our staff and great experience for our quest to continue to get better as a group and as we enter conference play in a couple weeks."
Schaub (2-for-4; 1 run, 1 RBI) and Dewitt (2-for-3; 1 run) each had two hits as well for Jacksonville. Josh Strong (0-2) took the loss on the mound for the Eagles.
The Dolphins begin a three game series at home against 2013 College World Series participant No. 17 Indiana on Friday at 6:30 p.m.
