Support for Boise State in the BIG 12
One Associated Press writer, Ralph Russo, is advocating for Boise State in the BIG 12. Compelling arguments...but, nothing new from OBNUG's perspective. We are at least as polarizing as BYU, right? Well, maybe not. I love that an AP writer is targeting on the national fan base BSU has, comparing us to Notre Dame football and Duke basketball. Fairly elite class when you consider how these programs somehow capture the essence of college football and college basketball, respectively, in the collective conscious of a nation. How wonderful would it be to play Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas and Texas Tech every year...and, beat them consistently? A OBNUGGEr can only dream.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
Some will arguably consider this the premier section of the premier cliff of the premier area for the Denver Metro area. Many will agree that it contains the premier route for the area with The Naked Edge. This section of Redgarden Wall will include terrain left of Redguard extending to Ruper and including all above the Roof Routes and above the Lower Ramp.
Getting There
To access this section of Redgarden Wall, you should park at the east end of Eldorado Canyon SP, hike uphill briefly, cross the bridge. Here you may choose one of 2 approaches depending on your exact line and preference. To access the furthest R routes, you can hike either around either the L of the The Whale's Tail or you continue upstream, cross the concrete pad, follow the trail, take the right fork and you arrived nearly at the base of T2.

Ok, this is my final dig at Stafford, since its about 95% sure we're getting him, I'll be done looking for reasons not to like him for a while after this. ;)
Here's my question:
If Joey Harrington failed here, what do you think the reasons are? To me, he had suspect heart, so when he was thrown to the Lions (pun intended) he buckled under the pressure. No matter how talented a QB is, if your whole city hates you, and you have jack to work with, I believe that talent will not trump that, and you're destined for failure.
Now with that said, remove any thoughts that I'm comparing the two quarterbacks in any way other than that they will both have snapped the ball with the Detroit Lions. What do you think is going to keep Stafford from having the exact same problem?
I ask this because its my biggest block to accepting Stafford. I don't hate him; I just know we have much bigger holes on the roster to fill, and it does not seem economical for us to draft a QB with the 1st overall pick. He has about the same type of offensive line with MUCH harder competition in the NFL. This is not a recipe for success. That is why I do not want Stafford.
Someone please change my mind (Terry? NL?) :p

Lake Michigan looked a bit like a giant ice skating rink this week. As of Thursday, more than 80 percent of the water was frozen, the Chicago Sun-Times is reporting.
But those who want to practice their triple axel on the lake should think twice.
It is still unsafe to walk on, National Weather Service Meteorologist Kevin Birk said.
"There have even been cases when the winds will shift, and the ice itself will move," Birk said. "Somebody who ventures out on the ice could be pushed out."
Ice coverage for the five great lakes combined reached about 88 percent Thursday, according to according to the Great Lakes Environmental Research Lab.
Small bodies of water, such as ponds, usually freeze over in an even sheet of ice, but a body of water as large as Lake Michigan "become like a jumble of ice chunks that are pushed together by waves," Indiana Dunes State Park spokesman Ken Kosky said.
The "shelf" ice on Lake Michigan is much weaker than the sheet ice on inland lakes, officials said. As waves crash together, ice chunks create air pockets and weak spots.
"It's not stable and cave-ins have occurred recently. Warming spring conditions will only make it more dangerous," said Brad Bumgardner, an interpretive naturalist with the Indiana Dunes State Park.
But Gill said the ice isn't all bad. More ice means less evaporation and with the heavy snowfall, lakes have been getting more water fill.
"It protects the lake levels," he said. "From a water level standpoint, it will bode well for us come this summer."

GALLATIN, Tenn. - The American Center for Law and Justice, the legal group representing the Sumner County School District in a religious lawsuit, hosted a town hall meeting at Volunteer State Community College on Monday night to discuss the issue of religion in schools.
The meeting was brought on by a lawsuit filed against the district by American Civil Liberties Union of Tennessee in May, when four families accused the school district of endorsing religious activities.
Most recently, the school district was under scrutiny for the student-led prayer event "See you at the Pole" and after four Westmoreland Middle School football coaches were seen bowing their heads during a student-led prayer after a football game.
The American Center for Law and Justice used the meeting as an opportunity to answer questions and explain how the school district views religion in the schools.
"This school board is not in the business of suppressing constitutional rights, it's in the business of protecting constitutional rights." American Center for Law and Justice Sr. Counsel, David French, told Nashville's News 2.
He said the school district will fight the ACLU's allegations.
"The school board has drawn the lines the lines that need to be drawn to make sure students are protected and also to make sure that teachers rights are respected as well," he said.
French said that Sumner County students have their constitutional rights to pray and to engage in religious expression that's not disruptive to the school.
Several in attendance at the meeting held signs, American flags, cheered and clapped to show their support of the school district.
"Parents, teachers, students should be allowed to express our religious freedom, it's a right under our constitution," Sumner County resident Sandy Waller told Nashville's News 2. "It's [the lawsuit] just wrong, absolutely wrong and that's why I'm here. The constitution did not say freedom from religion, it said freedom of religion."
The ACLU has filed similar lawsuits against the Cheatham and Wilson counties in the past few years.
The American Center for Law and Justice expects the school district's case to go to trial sometime in 2012.

Does the Minimum Wage Have a Higher Impact on the Informal than on the Formal Labor Market? Evidence from Quasi-Experiments
AbstractThis paper investigates a puzzle in the literature on labor markets in developing countries: labor legislations not only have an impact on the formal labor market but also an impact on the informal sector. It has even been argued that the impact on the informal sector in the case of the minimum wage is stronger than on the formal sector. Using quasi-experiments of minimum wage changes and thereby exploiting geographical variation of the minimum wage bite, I find evidence for this hypothesis. Informal workers, workers without social security contribution, experienced significant wage increases when the minimum wage was raised while formal workers did not. This result highlights that non-compliance with one labor legislation, the social security contribution, does not necessarily imply non-compliance to other labor laws such as the minimum wage.

We don't have to tell you that social media is great for connecting with current and potential customers, clients, and supporters. Many small businesses and organizations already know this.
But unfortunately, many people think social media marketing is all about posting content and getting a few more people to "Like" your Page.
The truth is, that's just the first step.
To get real results from your efforts on sites like Facebook, you need to go beyond engagement. You need to run a social campaign.
What's a social campaign? So glad you asked. Check out this video to find out:
A social campaign is designed to get your customers, clients, and supporters to take a specific action — whether that's getting them to buy something; make a donation; download a white paper, video, or other content; register for an event; volunteer their time; or something else. You post an offer on Facebook with a specific call to action, and your fans take care of the rest.
Why's that? Because when you run a social campaign on Facebook, that puts the power in the hands of your customers, clients, and supporters, and lets them share your offer with others — broadening your reach and getting you in front of brand new customers. This leads to more people "Liking" your Facebook Page and taking up the offer, which means more business for you.
A new tool for you
Last month, we opened the doors to our brand new Social Campaigns product for a select, invitation-only group of customers. We've been so thrilled to learn that many of our users are already seeing real business results outside of the basic practice of posting and monitoring. (Stay tuned to learn more about them in the coming weeks.)
Today, we're happy to announce that Social Campaigns is available to everyone! The product allows users to customize their Facebook Page and to easily publish and manage results-oriented marketing campaigns on Facebook. Choose from templates for campaigns that include coupons, weekly specials, fundraisers, product showcases, videos, and more.
Users can publish and promote their campaigns to their Facebook fans, Twitter followers, LinkedIn connections, and email subscribers from within the Constant Contact platform, and then view reports on campaign metrics like fan growth, email list growth, participant sharing, downloads, clicks, visits, and more.
With a social campaign, it all starts when someone "Likes" your Facebook Page. After that, the possibilities are endless.
Want some tips for creating an effective social campaign? Download our FREE best practices guide, Turn Likes into Results.
Have you been using the Social Campaigns product? We'd love to know how it's working for you. Share your thoughts with us in the comments section below.

, the vegan haven on Colorado Boulevard, is offering a fondue special for two—for just $30—along with their regular dinner menu Thursday through Sunday.
The fondue special features "Lamb Chopper," an organic gouda cheese, plus salad or soup of the day and organic Eagle Rock Farms grapefruit or mint sorbet.
This is no ordinary fondue, given that Lamb Chopper is an artisan sheep cheese produced in Holland for Cypress Grove Chevre, a noted Northern California company based in Humboldt County that mostly makes goat cheese.
Cypress Grove's website jokingly describes the Lamb Chopper as a "born to be mild" cheese. It's "buttery in color and flavor, with a long, complex finish."
The cheese is made from young to middle-aged sheep's milk and "tastes so good you'll forget about the terrible pun on the label," according to The Functioning Cheese Addict blog. Sweet and fruity at first, the Lamb Chopper gives way to the "grassy tang" typical of sheep's milk, making it a cheese of "hearty, simple and straightforward beauty," according to the blog.
"We will run the Lamb Chopper special probably as long as we can get the cheese," says Fatty's co-owner Kim Dingle, adding: "It is really a magnificent cheese."
Click here to see our topic page about Fatty's. It has all our past articles about this elegant and widely loved gourmet restaurant.
Fatty's, 1627 Colorado Blvd., (323) 254-8804. Thursday through Saturday: 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday: 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

"This is a "guide", not a "look at my crazy stuff" like other threads.
My main goal was to make a build that will enable me (and other players after sharing) to reach Endgame content, to tank most stuff and to do sweet DpS without "BiS gear".
You will survive a lot of crazy stuff and have no problems killing everything with this.
If a player has the currency to get crazy gear, I would not tell him to play this build to the last skillpoint.
But such players should not need a guide in the first place or at least they should have played the game long enough to know what they are doing.
Also note that - like many other players - I have neither the time nor the currency to grind 75+ maps all day. I've done a couple, haven't encountered serious issues, but I have little to no idea if this build will hold up to Level 100, and to be honest, I don't give a shit.
You can comment all day about this "not being tanky enough for lategame" or "too much damage nodes, will die to xyz and qwert" or "lol n00b scrubcore trash will die to -maxresist map double dominus", why would I care? ;)
This build is as straightforward as it can get.
And because I am sick of all the "Path of Lifenodes" builds, I also wanted it to be balanced in terms of Life, Armor, Shieldblock, Damage and Attributes. It feels a lot more rewarding to put points into these sweet 24% Damage nodes than going from 8% life to 8% life all the time. At least imho.
It is designed to have a pretty good amount of tank, combined with enough DpS nodes that you can crack the 20k DpS barrier even without GG stuff.
I do not play this character in a hardcore league and I have died several times.
For me it is: If I fail, am too slow, not prepared, too stupid, unknowing or whatever I could do wrong, I have no issues with dying. I deserve to die then.
I will take that trade any day ("risk and quick progression" vs "even more tanky and slower progression").
However I don't see why it shouldn't be viable for hardcore. If a player is a bit more careful and patient than me, and is willing to grind for xp and items before rushing the content, I guess he can do it.
I hope you enjoy the guide, and maybe you even want to try a Reave Marauder yourself. Would make me really happy. I also enjoy critique, suggestions and other kinds of comments.
1.1 is actually an upgrade or a buff for this build.
I gain damage and life through the new "sword+axe" nodes and I have to invest less points into armor (outside of marauder start).
Basically I traded 1% less max resists (no elemental adaptation involved) and 1% block (74% seems to be enough, can easily be upgraded to 75% for 1 skillpoint) for ~500 life, a ton of armor and ~1000 DpS.
The scion life wheel nerf doesn't matter whatsoever as I didn't go there anyway.
Note that some "prices" in the gearing section are completly off now, I have no idea what a multistrike gem etc costs now in the new leagues.
Also note that I had just one try on my new skill tree. Of course I played around in the skill tree planner before I specced into this 1.1 version, but it may not be "perfect". There may be more costefficient approaches.
However I'm very pleased with what I came up with.
Basic Build Idea
Why go for a shield?
I've played a lot of builds that were supposed to be "tanky".
But I've realized that without high (shield)block, it is just not tanky enough for me.
I want to stand in the middle of monsters.
I want to live through periods of hitting nothing, be it desync or plain stupidity.
I want to be able to grab items while there are still monsters around me.
I want to facetank guys like Kole and Brutus without running away and TP to town to refill flasks.
I want to stand there and don't have to use cheesy decoy totems and kiting around.
"Stop trying to hit me and hit me!"
All this I cannot achieve with Twohanded weapons or Dualwielding, no matter how much life and armor I try to stack, maybe if I had godlike mirrored items, but I don't have. I like to waste my currency... ;)
Why go for a sword?
Apart from the feeling that sword and shield is looking wonderfully oldschool, the real reason is the Skill "Reave". I'm totally in love with it.
Most skills I've used so far have crazy effects. they enlighten the whole screen, burn fireworks, make it shake, let you jump around like a madman (really, I have no idea how anyone can play a flicker+multistrike build or a crit discharge without going crazy or epileptic in short time).
Reave has a very smooth animation, it is valuable both as AoE and singe target, and it can be supported by one of the sickest DpS upgrades, the "Concentrated Effect" gem.
Why a Marauder?
First of all, he is the MAN.
You can achieve pretty much the same build from Duelist, Ranger, maybe even Templar start. But he is of course the manliest slaughtering machine out there.
And in case you get your dirty little fingers on the wonderful Unique Helmet "Bringer of Rain", he looks best because he doesnt wear a red shirt, he shows his tattooed muscular body. ;-)
Endgame Tree
Click me for Level 85
Skill Tree Explanation
I circle around to Duelist and Ranger because they have sick shieldblock nodes and because most of the sword clusters can be found there.
The life nodes you can grab along the way are super-efficient (lots of 12% nodes there), but they are not too many. You will most likely be running around with 4000-4500 life, not 6000+.
But that's a fine value with high shieldblock, don't worry at all (75% block quadruples your effective HP against physical damage)!
If you really really want, you can skip some of the damage nodes and walk to the big Scion Lifecluster, but I really don't feel it is necessary. Especially not in the version (1.1).
Why so many sword and damage nodes?
If I had perfect gear, I would skip some of them, and go for a little more survivability, but I don't. I want to kill my enemies quick, and well... damage helps. ;)
I have absolutly no problem with survivability. Not at all. So why not?
Why no Iron Reflexes/Unwavering Stance?
You can take both (at the cost of damage) if you think it helps, it's only a couple of passive points. I personally don't.
I have never felt stun is an issue, and the little amount of Evasion Rating on my Gear still provides an ok dodge chance (20%) due to the high dexterity. I tested IR, but I only gain a minimum % of additional armor protection, that just doesn't seem to be worth it.
Why the +30 Int node?
For concentrated effect. It requires you to have about 110 intelligence.
I guess you can achieve this through gear only (I'm already running pretty intheavy jewelry), but I can't, so I invested the point.
If you don't wanna run CE, well: skip the node.
Wouldn't Amplify be great?
The increased AoE and Area Damage would indeed be wonderful. I decided against it because I wanted to use the skillpoints in the Ranger Zone and I felt the need to have enough Dexterity for Gems and Weapons. But it may be a viable choice.
Levelling Progression
At the start, it may be helpful to invest a few points into the damage nodes in marauder start, but later you should respec out of them to grab better ones.
You rush Resoulute Technique, because it is awesome, especially with low dex in the beginning, and then you walk to the Duelist zone, taking the life nodes along the way, skipping the damage and the armor nodes, leave them for later.
After you have grabbed the Duelist zone, you make your way through the Golem's Blood to Ranger zone.
After you have grabbed the shieldblock stuff there, the rest of the points goes into the damage nodes along the way.
If you want to level further than 85, there's several options:
There's still shieldblock to grab (4% in Duelist, 4% between Duelist and Marauder).
There's more armor in Duelist zone.
There's the Templar zone with Amplify, life and onehanded damage.
You can find a Selffound Walkthrough at the end of the guide.
I'll update as I progress.
Skill Gems
Main Attack:
Reave is excellent both against mobs and bosses, it is the bread and butter skill.
4 Link Setup (RRGG or RRRG):
Reave + Multistrike + Melee Physical Damage + Faster Attacks/Blood Magic
5 Link Setup (RRGGB or RRRGB):
Reave + Multistrike + Melee Physical Damage + Faster Attacks/BM + Concentrated Effect
6 Link Setup (RRRGGB):
Add Life Leech, Faster Attacks/BM, Added Fire, depends on what you prefer.
6,5 Link Setup (Bringer of Rain):
Reave + Multistrike + Concentrated Effect + LL/BM/AF
*In the beginning, don't run Reave until you have the Multistrike Gem. It's just to slow. In Endgame, you could get away without it, but why should you? It's a huge DpS boost.
*I add concentrated effect only on 5th rank because while it adds the most damage, it is also the only gem that has a drawback (reduced AoE).
*With only one Aura and 2% Manaleech somewhere on your gear, you can and imho should skip the bloodmagic gem. Running 2 auras you are kinda forced to use it. While levelling it is totally fine to use mana/manaleech for Reave.
*You can, depending on what you are doing, swap the blue gem around. I sometimes use the Item Rarity or Increased AoE Gem for Farming.
*It can be a pain in the butt to achieve 2 green and 1 blue socket on pure armor gear. So you might be forced to use an armor+evasion torso or burn through a lot of chromatics.
4 Link (RGGB):
Leap Slam + Faster Attacks + Culling Strike + Item Rarity
or (RRGB):
Leap Slam + Culling + Item Rarity + (standard league legacy) Item Quantity
Used to move around, jump over obstacles and finishing off boss monsters. I try to cull rare monsters too, but it's a bit tough to get the timing right with multistrike attacks.
I run it on my remaining mana, which gives me 3-4 jumps before I have to wait a little for my mana to refill. Not perfect, but absolutly fine.
Again it's a pain in the butt to get RGGB on pure armor, but it is doable.
3 Link (RRG, iE shield):
Reduced Mana + Determination + Grace or Hatred
or 3 Link (RGG):
Reduced Mana + Grace + Hatred
I use RRG and swap the green auras around, depending on the difficulty of the area I'm moving in. Hatred is a sweet DpS boost, Grace severly buffs the evasion rating.
I would not recommend using Tempest Shield.
Yes, 4% additional shieldblock is nice, but it's just not as good as the other auras. And even if you can't get your 75% block without Tempest shield, it's not like it makes a huge difference. Playing with 65% or 75% Block feels about the same.
Trigger Gems:
I run 2 Cast on Damage taken, but before I only had 1 and it didn't make much of a difference.
4 Link:
Cast on Damage Taken 7 + Temporal Chains 9 + Enduring Cry 9 + Molten Shell 10
You can choose Warlord's Mark or Enfeeble too, both work nice as well.
3 Link:
Cast on damage Taken 9 + Immortal Call 9 + Increased Duration max
You get invulnerable against physical attacks from time to time. This is completly optional, and more often than not it is either unnecessary or wasted because you don't have many Charges up. But it can save your butt and you have the Slots for it, so why not?
I am not 100% sure about how much you should level the CoDt gems, but the setup I currently run works pretty nice for me.
Other slots:
Not needed for anything. You can level up whatever you like in there.
Aquiring the Gems:
Reave: start a Shadow, kill Hillock, recieve Reave, put it in stash, delete Shadow.
Multistrike: quest in A3M (unfortunatly)
Concentrated Effect: drop or buy, collides with multistrike (unfortunatly)
Faster Attacks: quest A1M (medicine chest, rush there)
Melee physical damage: quest A1C (medicine chest, rush there)
Blood Magic: quest A2C
Reduced Mana: several quests in merciless, you can take additional RM gems and sell for 3c each.
Grace: several quests, not expensive.
Determination: some quests in Normal.
Hatred: quest A1N.
Cast on Damage taken: quest A3M, collides with multistrike. -> find or buy.
Gems related to CoDT: appear in several quests, take whenever you feel or buy them, they are all pretty cheap.
Quality on Gems:
Obviously it's nice if every gem has quality on it, but that's kinda expensive and I'd not consider it worth it to purchase them all in 20% right away.
Reave: +10% attackspeed, nice to have.
Faster Attacks: even more attackspeed, nice to have.
Curses and other CoDt related gems: some pretty nice effects here.
Useless: Quality on auras, reduced mana, blood magic.
Not too strong: Quality on gems that only grants "10% increased damage" for 20% (iE melee physical damage), Concentrated Effect (reduced mana cost).
At ~Lvl 85, you will have your gems at Level 20.
You will then be able to use the recipe "Lvl 20 gem with 0q gem + 1GCP = Lvl 1 gem with 20q".
Do this for the interesting gems, then level the gems up in a kinda safe zone (iE merciless fellshrine ruins) to ~Lvl 10-12 to compensate the temporal loss in damage.
Go for a high physical DpS onehanded sword, which means: %dmg, +dmg, attackspeed. Aim for at least 250 DpS lategame, which should be enough to progress. And then save up for bigger swords...
Elemental Damage doesn't matter at all.
Go for a high base block (30%) and a high value on additional block chance (up to 6%).
Other stats: see armor pieces.
The lowlevel Unique "Crest of Perandus" can carry you up to your 70s.
Armor pieces/jewelry:
Go for Life, Resist, +Armor, +%Armor.
Additional benefits are: attackspeed, flat physical damage, +intelligence, %life/manaleech.
On the amulet slot you will most likely have to use a +Int or Int-hybrid basetype.
I'm currently running several "increased block and stun recovery" items, but I don't feel they are needed at all.
The Bringer of Rain is a wonderful item.
It provides you 15% additional Block Chance and of course a 6,5 Link for Reave (I say "6,5 Link" because I have never seen anybody use the blind gem in a normal 5L/6L setup, even though of course it is not useless at all).
However BoR is not a must-have build-enabling uberitem you should go for 100%.
As I wrote above, the difference between 60% and 75% block may feel huge in theory, but in practical gameplay you won't notice it too much.
And the drawback of not having a chest piece and not having resists on BoR can be a little hard to overcome.
My BoR is "legacy" now, but if you don't have a legacy version, don't worry, the new one isn't that much worse. You lose 3% chance to blind (12 to 9%), 6% attackspeed (won't even notice) and ~200 life. The 15% Block alone are still worth going for it.
If and only if you have 75% Shieldblock, you can consider:
Stone of Lazwhar and Rainbowstrides.
They will provide you with some serious block chance against spells at the cost of being kinda subpar for this build in all other aspects.
In absolute Lategame (76+ maps), spell damage will kill you if you don't block some of it. Ideally you want to couple it with an Aegis Aurora, as this will make you practically immortal.
As all these items don't provide too much resists and life, the rest of your gear (gloves, rings) will have to be super resist and life heavy. Which makes it even more expensive to use.
At a certain point, it may be a good idea to drop the Bringer of Rain for a 6L chest, which gives you helmet + chest and therefor 6 possible resist suffixes.
But all this stuff is pretty exquisit and lategame, you won't need it to have fun in this game.
I'm poor, how do I gear up?
You should be able to cover the armor/life/resist part on your own. Carrying a shield helps a lot with this.
For the rest I'd suggest the following (ignore this if you are rich or at least have all the required stuff):
1. Your first ~4c should be spent on a multistrike gem. Then you can start some serious reaving.
2. Save up another ~3-5c worth of currency to buy a midlevel 150-200 DpS sword that gets you through the End of Normal and Cruel. You can skip this if you are lucky on drops or you can get away with lowlevel 1c uniques like Ephemeral Edge.
3. Save up 3-5c for Cast on Damage taken (if you want it early)
4. Save up ~15c for an ok chest with 5 Links and Concentrated Effect Gem.
5. Save up ~1 ex for a serious weapon.
6. Save up ~6-7ex for Bringer of Rain or a sexy 5-6 Linked Torso (you can do it till 75-80 if you don't waste your money like I do, I guess).
7. Save up for Aegis Aurora.
8. Save up a shit ton of moneys for a 400+ DpS sword or a Mirror of Kalandra. Good luck on that one!
Prices are from Domination league. Don't know standard or new league prices.
My current Gear:
You see I am at Step 7 of my "how to gear up" progression.
It's a wild mixture of self-crafted, self-found and shopped stuff.
Overall I'm pretty happy, but of course, everything is improvable.
I'm a bit overcapped on resist and not happy with some of the life values, but I guess it's fine...
6L gear:
That's what you get out of this:
Some chaos resist, and you maybe get rid of the BM gem for an allout damage 6L main attack.
I feel like something like this is a good setup:
You can add in an amethyst flask (where is this chaos damage? haven't seen it yet ^^) or another life flask for the jade flask, and if you are running Reave on mana, I suggest using at least one hybrid flask (in case you waste it due to desync and can't manaleech).
There should be "removes frozen and chilled" on one health flask, "removes bleeding" on another, as these are the only really annoying effects you have to get rid off sometimes. "Removes curses, shock..." is nice but not 100% needed, that's very situational.
Normal: Oak for additional 40 Life.
Cruel: Oak for physical damage, Kraytin for attackspeed (your choice)
Merciless: Kill all or Oak for the Endurance Charge (again your choice)
I went Oak all the way, as he is the true warrior.
Current Character Screenshots (sitting around in Standard League)
WIP Selffound Walkthrough (Ambush League)
In this post I will write a little walkthrough of this Marauder playstyle in Ambush League.
I won't get into too much detail, and it will take some time to be updated, as I don't have too much time to play right now. He is - of course, as first character in this league - selffound. I might do some trading, but only with his currency.
Up to Lvl 30 (Act 1 and 2 Normal)
Step 1: Create a Shadow. Name him askjdfglirf. Run to Hillock and doublestrike the shit out of him. Get Reave as quest reward. Put both Reave and Double Strike in stash. Delete Shadow.
Step 2: Create Marauder. :)
Passive Tree Progression
I rush straight to Resolute Technique, even though the endurance charge on the path is wasted at the moment. RT is super important to maintain constant damage output.
After this I take the life nodes in the Marauder starting zone, the damage nodes "Strong Arm" and "By the Blade" (to make progression easier), and then I start to head towards Duelist.
No reason to grab the armor and shield nodes just yet, those are more effective later on.
Skill tree Level 30
I usually do the "pathing" (all these little 10 str/dex nodes) right at the start, while the character still levels up quickly.
It is a real pain if you do this late game, when the skillpoints come in slower and slower.
The bonus points from quests are invested into "side nodes" (damage, life) for an occasional feeling of "reward". ;-)
Gear progression
Right from the beginning I notice I need Dexterity. But the Dex I planned for my tree is far far away. I spend a little bit of low currency (the blue stuff, chance orbs) on rings and dex amulets and manage to level my green gems and use swords. Fine. :)
Luckily I find nice boots and a nice amulet:
(unfortunatly still wearing these with Level 30)
While progressing I use one vendor recipe a lot:
Blacksmiths Whetstone + (blue) Rustic Sash + White Sword = Sword with %damage
This is the easiest way to get weapons for levelling, as you cannot rely on drops at all in this game.
In Act 2, I rush straight to the Weaver's Chamber to get Melee Splash as quest reward.
Reave is too slow to be an effective AoE skill at the moment, I use Splash with Double Strike to clear through Act 2.
In City of Sarn, I finally find a nice shield, and I craft - again using the recipe, this time with a shitty rare rustic sash I found - a sword to progress, it gets my DpS up to ~270 (Double Strike + Melee Splash):
It may even be worth it to use alchemy orbs on rustic sashes.
If it turns ou nicely, wear it, if not, use it in the recipe to get a sword with ~90% damage.
The rest of my gear is horrible, iE chest and helmet combined give me less armor than my gloves, but that's not an issue at all. It's just Normal. Relax.
Life at ~1000, all resists at ~50%. Fine.
Up to 46 (in the Middle of Cruel Act 2)
Passive Tree Progression
On the way to the bottom of the tree we can find two very nice nodes with "12% sword damage, 6% life". Be sure to grab them.
After I reached the entrance to the duelist area, I grabbed the Water Dancing Node (+18% damage, +20 Dex) and went through the life nodes to "Golem's Blood" and "Diamond Flesh".
Then I took the Dex Path to "Wisdom of the Glade" (+30 Int), "Fencing" (Damage) and "Thick Skin" (18% life).
The Dex and Int there provide enough stats to continue levelling my gems.
As I felt my Damage was not were I wanted it to be, I invested the 3 points to get the very nice sword node "Wicked Blade".
Next goal will be the 18% life node, then I will start levelling the interesting stuff: shieldblock, damage etc in the Marauder and Duelist starting zones.
Current Skill tree
Gear Progression
At Level 35 I invested one of the two chaos orbs I found so far to buy this nice sword:
I found gear to overcap my resists and get ~1500 life, which then easily got me through Dominus to cruel. I was able to facetank his stuff, even the "Touch of God" attacks.
Pretty happy with my jewelry and belt, they are mainly responsible for my nice resists:
Right when my damage started to be a little low, I got the "Melee Physical Damage" gem as quest reward (medicine chest), rest of act 1 was supereasy.
Somewhere in the jungle a little monkey gave me a "Cast on Damage taken" gem, that's a lucky drop, now I can use Enduring Cry and Temporal Chains without having to cast them manually.
Resists 75,50,75,-10, Life at 2000, DpS at 1000 (Double Strike, Melee Splash, Melee Physical Damage).
At Level 50 I will buy another sword with ~200 pDpS, which should almost double my damage output.
I try to save up all currency (=not "craft" items)with the exception of alchemy orbs, I have no problem wasting them trying to get nice levelling gear.
Oh, and I found a couple of useless uniques:
... and my first
Level 54 - Unlocking the Sceptre of God (Cruel)
Cruel Act 3 is where things get a little harder, especially the Dominus fight is a problem for many players. If you play completly selffound, this is a huge "gear check".
Passive tree progression
I focussed on survivability.
I entered the Duelist zone to get another 20% life (and some damage), and I grabbed the "10% all resist" node in the Marauder zone. There's a "flask regen" node on the way that is basically useless, I will respec out of it once I close the loop from the other side (the armor nodes).
Current tree (Level 54)
Gear progression
With the two resistance nodes, I managed to almost cap my resists. You really want them to be as close as possible to 75% when facing Dominus.
I also got ~3000 life, which I find is an ok value at this point, at least if you're not playing hardcore.
As offense is another form of defense (the faster you kill, the fewer enemy attacks you have to suffer), I bought a new sword with ~200 pDpS on poe.xyz.is.
Swords like this cost between 3 and 8 chaos, while 8 is super overprized and 3 is a very good deal, the later in the league, the cheaper they will be. I payed ~5 chaos for mine.
This sword will get me into maps, I will not have to buy an upgrade for quite a while.
The rest of my gear is horrible. I have no movespeed, shitty armor values, not the sockets I like...
But I stopped myself from spending any currency whatsoever in crafting or trading. As long as I can survive and progress, I will be fine.
Current Gear
With this stuff, I manage to have these stats:
This is not where I want it to be, but I think it's ok for now.
(Cut 40% resists for Merciless, this screen is from Cruel))
There's absolutly no point levelling or farming in a zone with itemlevel <60, so I will continue rushing through the content until I get at least to Fellshrine Ruins Merciless.
Dominus fight was ok, I got hit by a couple of "Touch of God" (leap slam is too slow to dodge without the "faster attacks" gem), but I managed to do the fight without any deaths, facetanking all minions and lesser bosses.
And the Hillock quest at merciless start netted a nice ring I will wear for sure, especially against the cold damage bosses to come:
Sweet physical damage and life.
Level 64: Destroying Merciless Vaal
Act 1 merciless didn't put up any resistance, I rushed straight through it, especially because I had max cold resist and therefor little to fear.
In Act 2 I burned through half a level of xp trying to zerg down a corrupted zone boss with a lot of chaos damage, fired in machine gun style.
I had to give up on him, this guy is nothing for low resists and negative chaos resists. ;-)
I started to use Purity of Elements instead of Determination, which left me with enough mana to constantly leap slam around. And it kind of solved the Resistances issue.
I tried to be super clever and not do the bandit quest until later on, as I wasn't 100% sure where I wanted to go (skillpoint, endurance or even try some frenzy stuff). Standing in the pyramid apex I noticed I need the f...ing apex to progress. Lol.
Oh well, did a quick bandit killing spree and helped good old Oak...
Passive tree progression:
After some nice guy gave me a little input on min-maxing my tree, I rerouted the marauder start a bit (to get 2x 10% damage instead of 2x +10str).
I started grabbing the shieldblock in Marauder and then invested the last "highway" skillpoints to get to Ranger. From now on, every skillpoint will be life, damage, block and armor. The unsatisfying work of "+10 attribute nodes" is done.
I still feel nowhere near as tanky as I want to be, so I started the fun part with the 3 life nodes next to Ranger. Next step will be the block stuff there.
Current skilltree
(For those who can count: I already did the 3 statues in act 3 merciless)
Gear Progression:
Before entering the pyramid and trying to kill Vaal, I wanted to have better gear. I tried farming some iLvl60 zones, but didn't get anything I was interested in (you kind of have to expect that in PoE).
I then alched myself a couple of shields with 30% block, the third one was this:
This is by no means a good shield, but it has additional block, armor and some resist. Should work at the moment.
Then I opened poe.xyz.is and searched for cheap life+resist armor pieces. I found a helmet and boots for 1 chaos each, and sweet gloves for 1 fusing (I think I would have payed a little more for these):
(it is nice to get a helmet with +Int btw)
Resists solved. For the moment. I burnt through quite some jewellers, fusings and chromatics to get the links I wanted, but I had a lot of them stashed up, so no problem here.
I haven't been too lucky with currency drops so far, no "real money" (Divine, Exalted), but I should be able to buy a 5L chestpiece pretty soon (you can see my pitiful currency in the screen below).
Currency hint:
Once you reach A3C, remember to visit the vendors every level, at least the last four of the game (A3C, A1M, A2M, A3M), as they sometimes sell 6S items that sell for 7 jewellers orbs (that's why I sit on so many fusings without real farming). Also buy the chromatic items, of course.
Later on, even go to A1N and A2N and buy all white stonehammers for the chisel recipe.
Current Character Screen:
The damage is nowhere near where I want it to be, same goes for armor, life and stuff. It is really time to buy a 5L and get my multistrike and concentrated effect gems...
This will be it for this little walkthrough. From now on, with resist and ok damage, it's all about finding and trading for gear upgrades. Especially a better sword (~300DpS), but this usually takes quite a while farming in docks and early maps...
Thank you for reading, feel free to leave comments!

BOSTON (AP) - Republican candidate for governor Charlie Baker is calling for the resignation of Department of Children and Families Commissioner Olga Roche, citing the need for a top to bottom review of the state's child welfare agency.
The department has been under scrutiny since social workers lost track of a 5-year-old Fitchburg boy who is missing and feared dead.
Baker, the 2010 GOP gubernatorial nominee, also said in an interview that Attorney General and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Martha Coakley should settle a 2010 lawsuit filed by a child advocacy group that alleged the state placed foster children in unstable and sometimes dangerous situations.
Democratic Gov. Deval Patrick and other administration officials have stood by Roche. Patrick asked the Child Welfare League of America for an independent review of the agency.

Vitor Belfort and Wanderlei Silva fought at the first UFC in Brazil in 1998. Belfort destroyed Silva in less than two minutes. Despite having both fought under the Pride banner for most of the 2000's they have not crossed paths since. Now it appears they both want a sequel.
Wanderlei Silva started it by calling out Belfort.
Belfort responded to Tatame.com:
"Let's do it, brother. I accept it", Vitor said, praising the fighter he defeated by TKO in UFC Brazil, in 1998. "He's a great athlete, a great champion, and it would be a pleasure to fight him. It'd be a highly anticipated fight, very important for the sport.
"Whatever Dana (White) says I'll do, I never chose opponents and I won't do it now. But he made the challenge and I'm accepting it. I just don't wanna wait for the UFC Rio to come back, I wanna fight first", he added.

we're going in the hudson...
The only remaining excitment I managed to suck from this plane crash was that Clemens got to go to the Superbowl with Sully and meet a bunch of celebrities, which I regard as the only acceptably excuse for missing my birthday. So as far as I was concerned, this snoozer human interest story was no big news, at least until we find out what happened to checked luggage. But this morning, checking in with the greatest blog on all of the interweb, Dlisted, I read, "Sully is a badass motherfucker" posted with the following 11 minute clip from 60 Minutes which you HAVE to watch. I was all worried about watching it at work until my boss came running over, grabbed my shoulders and screamed, "Oh my God, Sully! Turn it up!"
Whoa. You know, you'd think you'd want a wacky, fun pilot at the help of your flight, keeping the mood light and pointing out the Grand Canyon to your left. Nope. You want a serious, old dude with a thousand years under his belt who smelled "burning birds" and didn't have time to pray. I can't believe Katie Couric and her unfortunate new hair-do asked Sully if he prayed. I wish he'd said, "No, I was too busy using my God given brilliant brains to save lives, but nice try."
Anyway, I take it all back. Sully is indeed a badass motherfucker. He wasn't weeping for Darlene in 26B or regretting never taking the time to scubadive. The man had 3 minutes and wasn't screwing around, which in my eyes, makes him far more fabulous than Captain Feelgood who makes inappropriate jokes about floatation devices...
3 comments:
I was hoping he had some snide remark for Katie's awful questions.
- Patricia said...
Clemens is the BEST in the business if you know someone who might make it big tell them to call him first because let's face it with a professional like him and his amazing staff you would be able to hold your head up in public.
Yeah, all the women newscasters went to the same dumb saloon and got messed up do's Ktvu Heather Holmes, Katie Couric, Jessica Aguirre and Phil Matier-there must have been a buy 1 get 1 free coupon.
- Stephanie said...
I think that Sully handle the "Coriffic" questions elegantly. It would be beneath him to be snide to her just because she's got a stupid haircut. If there was a way to clone Sully and have him as pilot on every flight, that would be a better way to spend a few billion in government funds.

I just went to Gamestation today and GAME, and they said they stop taking pre-orders. I want to trade in my PSP and stuff for the Wii thats why.
How long should I wait to phone them and ask ?
I just went to Gamestation today and GAME, and they said they stop taking pre-orders. I want to trade in my PSP and stuff for the Wii thats why.
How long should I wait to phone them and ask ?
my pre-order was in with GAME from 30/09/06
I was number 17 or so... I will be the first on their friday... (and their are two GAME's within 5 minutes walking distance of each other)
p.s just because they aren't accepting pre-orders doesn't mean you cant trade in your PSP now and get it put on a "GAME card" for future spending
I have limited Ed. GAME "spending card" with Wii on it
I know gamestation and game were sold out ages ago. I had to go to woolworths - I think the HMV in my area had only 6 pre orders when game were totally sold out. - Getting back to the point - I would call them like every 3 days lol.
You think these stores would get guaranteed consoles as pre-order + a bunch for general sale first come first serve?
Yer, I know what ya mean, I went to Gamestation told him about ma PSP and he said I will get about £87 for the lot. So if i get the Zelda bundle which is 209.99, then I will only pay about 130.
I was in Game in Peterborough on Friday doing the dreaded Christmas shopping and they were taking pre orders but only guaraneeing to get it before Christmas, which isn't that long after launch date if you haven't already got yourself a pre order guaranteed for the 8th.
Peterborough, I'm all the way in South-East London.
i was preorder number 3 and theres 2 other stores (gamestation) about 5 minutes away frrom it i also have a limited edition wii card
Thanks to Pepper for the sig
I am leader of the Super Metroid fanclub
Pre order number 149
Gamestation fow the win.
Trading my Wii again! Come on home 360!
Games: Metroid Prime 3, Super Paper Mario, Ghost Squad, Link's Crossbow Training + Wii Zapper, Geometry Wars, Battalion Wars 2
Try the Game in South-East London then . . .Originally Posted by Godfather
2 Game(uk) in my city within literally 2 mins of each other, ones a big version in a shopping mall and ones smaller on the high street, the big one had 150 pre-orders and are receinving 150 consoles on launch day they only took as many orders as they could fill, I've preordered and have my receipt Guys who worked there confirmed it also.
To the person who was asking how long should they wait before they start ringing GAME/Gamestation etc, well at least a few days after the 8th.

Hundreds of Coca-Cola Consolidated employees are making a difference in a community they're visiting.
300 coke employees from 11 different states spent Tuesday afternoon working at the Roanoke Rescue Mission.
You might be surprise to learn everyone with brushes and brooms in hand are actually Coca-Cola consolidated managers, even the President and CEO was hard at work.
"We're visible, ubiquitous in stores and outlets everywhere, so we need to be out in the community as people," explained Hank Flint, Coca-Cola Consolidated, President and CEO.
"We are just impressed with coke that they spend a third of their time while they're here, they're here about a day and a half, so they're spending a whole afternoon with us, valuable time that they could be meeting, and so that's pretty impressive that Coke does this," said Leslie Littlefield, Roanoke Rescue Mission Volunteer Coordinator.
With 300 people volunteering three hours each Tuesday, the Rescue Mission is getting 900 total hours of service.
The Virginia Tech Marching Virginians are looking forward to a new building.

Family-Friendly Hybrids
Just in time for summer vacation, fuel prices have topped $4 a gallon in many places and by all accounts, are only heading higher.
The last time gas prices got this high proved to be the tipping point for the auto industry, driving families to start to take a serious look at the relatively unknown world of hybrids.
Toyota and Honda, who had been hybrid trailblazers for half a decade, saw sales of their fuel-sippers jump significantly, with other manufacturers quickly following their leads.
Today, families have a wide range of fuel-friendly vehicles to choose from, including plug-in hybrids, electric-only and compressed natural gas powered cars designed to limit or completely eliminate trips to the gas pump.
Here's a quick look at some popular family-friendly fuel savers for 2011:
The Toyota Prius (50 mpg) is still the leader of the pack when it comes to hybrid technology. In addition to its upgraded third-generation design, which offers a solar roof to power the climate control system, Toyota is also rolling a plug-in Prius that supplements the electrical power with household electricity, allowing the vehicle to run in electric-only mode for the first few miles. And look for a Prius V wagon in the near future, giving families an additional 60 percent more cargo space than the current Prius.
Honda's Insight (41 mpg) is designed with a similar egg-shape look of the Prius and is the most affordable hybrid on sale in the U.S., starting at $18,000. Honda's undercover hybrid, the Civic hybrid (42 mpg) remains a premium family-friendly hybrid, adding even better fuel economy in 2011. Honda also offers the Civic GX, a natural gas compression vehicle that requires not a drop of gasoline and has zero emissions.
A newcomer to the hybrid market this year is the Hyundai Sonata hybrid, a sleek four-door that rates an average of 35-40 mpg. Ford offers a trio of new hybrids to supplement its small SUV Escape hybrid model (32 mpg): the Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan and Lincoln MKZ hybrids all achieve mileage of 41 mpg in city driving, 36 mpg on the highway.
Speaking of SUVs, the Toyota Highlander (28 mpg) is the only hybrid offering third row seats, and the Lexus RX450h provides luxury living while topping 32 mpg it city driving.
Rather not stop for gas? Look at the just released Nissan Leaf, and all-electric, pod-like vehicle that will take you up to 100 miles before needing to plug into a standard household outlet to recharge. Also new to the market is the Chevrolet Volt (93 mpg), a plug-in hybrid that promises extended range driving on electric and gasoline power.
So don't let high pump prices foil your vacation fun. There are plenty of family friendly fuel sippers to keep your wagons rolling this summer.

While we don't want to be that guy, necessarily, there are some films that start to look like disasters from miles away. No one sets out to make a bad picture, but sometimes fate conspires in the worst possible way, and a pile up of misfortune leads to something that, even months before release, is clearly fated for horrible reviews, worse box office and a quick trip to the bargain bin. Think "The Stepford Wives," "Bewitched," "The Invasion," or even films that Nicole Kidman wasn't in, like "Jonah Hex," "Bonfire of the Vanities," or, most recently "Mars Needs Moms" -- films reshot, recut and delayed until they made even less sense than they did before.
All the signs are present for another one in "Dream House," the latest from director Jim Sheridan ("In America"). It's got a high-caliber cast in Daniel Craig, Rachel Weisz and Naomi Watts, but it also has a long-delayed release date (it slipped from this February to September), substantial reshoots, and an old-fashioned scandalous on-set romance, not to mention that the film is two months from release and hasn't yet started off its marketing campaign in any substantial way. Well, sort of: Recent Movie Posters have a one-sheet for the film, and it doesn't exactly give us more faith in the movie.
Using an image seemingly taken from the back of a spoon, and focusing on the old favorite of the psychological thriller genre, the haunted doorknob, we're not sure we can imagine anyone who'd look at the one-sheet and go: "I'd like to see that movie." The only plus point is that it may be early or unofficial artwork: it derives from a Russian site, and the credit block is lifted from another film, so hopefully the final product will be somewhat more successful.
Weisz has another long-delayed film on the way, the drama "The Whistleblower," which first debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival last year, a based-in-fact tale in which she plays a U.N. operative who discovers evidence of a conspiracy amongst corrupt colleagues involving sex-trafficking in Bosnia. Weisz picked up typically strong reviews, the film slightly less so, and even if the poster, which comes from Movieline, is firmly generic, it's still a step-up from "Dream House," mainly because it's got Vanessa Redgrave and David Strathairn on it, and that's rarely a bad thing.
Finally, moody actioner "Killer Elite" gets a moody black & white poster at I Watch Stuff, undermined, as everything about the film has been so far, by Clive Owen's hilarious mustache, seemingly an attempt to hammer home the film's 80s action-movie credentials by summoning up the spirit of Vernon Wells in "Commando." That film hits on September 23rd, with "The Whistleblower" coming first, on August 5th, and "Dream House" on September 30th.

Paragraph 2: "a high-caliber cast in Daniel Craig, Rachel Weisz and Naomi Watts"
What's the issue here, richardM?
richardM | July 6, 2011 10:31 AM
This is not the first time and Indiewire have done it again, slighting Ms. Naomi Watts. This poster for "Dream House" CLEARLY says it stars Daniel Craig, Naomi Watts and Rachel Weisz , not what you say in both your heading and contents.
Captain Midnight | July 6, 2011 9:31 AM
I read the original script of "Dream House," and it had a great twist about halfway through that turned everything on its head. It was a very well done supernatural thriller.
It worries me that I don't seen the original screenwriter's name on this poster. I would hate to think these guys dropped the ball on an exciting script.
om | July 5, 2011 3:21 AM
yeah dream house looks wack.
Iam | July 5, 2011 1:57 AM
I saw both films ( The Whistle blower in New York screening and Dream house in an test screening) with Rachel Weisz and as usual Rachel gives a great performance in both. Unfortunately, only one of them is any good and that film is Whistle blower, which is a great film. Dream House unfortunately has one of the most predicable scripts ever written and even with the good acting from Weisz and Daniel Craig, they still can't make this clunker work.

Brief mention in John Perrotto's On The Beat wrapup (subscriber) on Prospectus today:
"The Pirates would like to sign free-agent right-hander Jeremy Bonderman."
Seems plausible, as he's an experienced starter who eats innings and would likely sign for a reasonable cost, but he's also a low-strikeout, heavy-contact pitcher who just turned 28, had injury-shortened '08 and '09 seasons, and his ERA outside Comerica last year was 6.84 (with a 44-40 K/BB ratio). Maybe he wasn't fully healthy last year (though he did make 29 starts), but unless it's at a near-negligible cost, wouldn't this signing be the exact type of non-improvement over Duke that Charlie cautioned against in the Fix The Defense post?

DALEVILLE — The bar has been set high by the Daleville girls basketball program after a season of epic proportions a year ago.
The Broncos, coached by Jeff Wickersham, posted a 15-7 record last season. For most teams, that record would mark a successful season. But it is a superior campaign in light of the Broncos' history.
In the 12 seasons prior to last year, the Broncos averaged four wins.
But there are some significant hurdles this time around due to graduation losses.
Gone is Jamie Roberts, who finished her prep career with school records for most 3-pointers and steals in a career. She is also now the second-highest scorer in school history. Also lost to graduation was Brynn Gooding (career leader in assists) and Jordyn Marshel (career leader in rebounds).
Brandi Granger and Hannah McKinney are returning letterwinners.
"The Daleville Lady Broncos must adjust to losing the leadership and playmaking abilities of three-year starters Jaime Roberts, Brynn Gooding, and Jordyn Marshel along with Alex Pence," said Wickersham. "This year's team will depend heavily on experienced guards Brandi Grander and Hannah McKinney to carry this young team offensively throughout the season. Defensively, the Broncos will rely on their team speed to create turnovers and easy opportunities to score."There will also be new faces expected to make an impact.
"(We) only return two varsity experienced players so the key to this season will be the development of the young guards, Kayla Skinner, Hanna Hochstetler, and Mikayla Craig along with Kristen Zimmers inside," said Wickersham. "The sooner these players can adjust to the speed of a varsity game, the better the outlook will be for the Broncos this season."
The Raiders enter the fourth year with coach Chelsea Kilian, who played state championship basketball at Shenandoah. Her path toward getting the team back to former glory has been a slow, steady trek. Her first season ended with four wins. Each successive season, the Raiders have increased their win total by one.

@TrollBagQs Is it too late to trade for Michael Young now?
— OverTheMonster (@OverTheMonster) September 1, 2013
Aaaand we're back! For those of you who were comatose last week, you can read Part 1 of this month's TrollBag here.
Also, for those of you who might be so inclined, the TrollBag now has its own Twitter page right here (twitter.com/TrollBagQs). Give it a follow!
Anyways, let's get to it.
@PoarchDaniel If Scott Williamson could be a shut down closer in the playoffs, this bullpen should be fine, right?
— Timothy Brooks (@pastortimbrooks) August 27, 2013
@TrollBagQs Do you think Sox 'pen has enough to take them deep into the postseason?
— KWAPT (@KWAPT) August 28, 2013
I believe so. There are some questions regarding mid-relief – notably the conundrum that is Matt Thornton – but the Tazawa-Breslow-Uehara trio is solid and remember, a starter – most likely Doubront or Dempster – will be likely coming out of the 'pen come playoff time as well.
@PoarchDaniel @TrollBagQs Replace the Backstreet Boys with members of the Red Sox.
— Matt Collins (@RedSox_Thoughts) August 28, 2013
(Napoli as a Backstreet Boy is a hilarious mental image though.)
@RedSox_Thoughts @PoarchDaniel @TrollBagQs – Additionally, which #RedSox player do you think enjoyed the NSYNC reunion the most?
— Frank Stevens (@homecourtbias) August 28, 2013
I hear they're Jonny Gomes' guilty pleasure.
@TrollBagQs Is this the best season of Shane Victorino's career?
— Daniel Poarch (@PoarchDaniel) August 28, 2013
Wow, what an excellent question! It's like you read my mind!
In terms of WAR, it already is. Victorino has accounted for 5.7 WAR in only 109 games, surpassing his career-high of 5.6 in 132 in 2011.
On a deeper level, Victorino's 2013 measures up to his career numbers in a number of interesting ways. He's striking out more and walking less, but his wOBA is at the second-highest mark of his career, surpassed only by the aforementioned 2011 season. Offensively, he's hitting for slightly more power than usual, but with a bit worse of a plate approach.
The most dramatic difference in Victorino's stats, though, comes from his contributions in the field. Victorino has always been known as an elite defender, but his current 27.2 UZR is a dramatic jump from his previous career-high of 12.8 in 2006.
Victorino has been red-hot in September, and with 18 games remaining, could end up sizably surpassing his career-high in WAR. The Red Sox were panned by some for signing Victorino to a 3-year, $39 million this past offseason, but it's safe to say he's now exceeded even the most optimistic of projections at this point. With 18 games remaining, it'll be interesting to see just how much Victorino can raise that WAR mark above his 2011 level.
@TrollBagQs How bad are the Astros?
— John Shearer (@Skull360) August 28, 2013
Those of you who follow me on Twitter (@PoarchDaniel) may have seen my Brent Lillibridge Facts from a few weeks ago. Well, how about something similar with the Houston Astros?
Houston Astros Facts:
1. The Astros as a team have 3.1 offensive WAR. If they were a player, that mark
would tie them with Coco Crisp, Austin Jackson, Brandon Belt, Todd Frazier, Jed Lowrie,
Nolan Arenado, Gerardo Parra, and Everth Cabrera.
2. Those players rank 44th through 51st in the league for WAR.
3. The Red Sox lead the league with 30.1 WAR. That's ten times the Astros' mark.
4. The Astros rank second-to-last in team UZR with a mark of -50.8, behind only the
Mariners, owners of a staggering -76.6.
5. Only the Marlins (.293) have a worse team OBP than the Astros. The Marlins.
6. Astros pitchers have accounted for 0.3 WAR on the season. The Padres are the
next-to-worse, with 2.6 WAR.
7. Joe Saunders, one of the worst regular starters in baseball this season, has been
worth 0.3 WAR. Joe Saunders has a higher ERA (4.95) than K/9 (4.85).
8. The Astros' team ERA (4.87) is more than 50 points higher than the next-worst
team (the Blue Jays, at 4.34).
9. The Astros rank worst in the league in K/9, BB/9, and HR/9.
10. Jason Castro leads the Astros with 4.0 WAR. No other Astro has more than 0.9.
I could keep going, but you get the picture. The Astros are bad.
@TrollBagQs – Why hasn't Ellsbury returned my calls yet?
— Frank Stevens (@homecourtbias) August 28, 2013
Maybe he's just not that into you, man. You gotta move on.
@TrollBagQs where are my car keys?
— Patrick Fenelon (@Patrick_Fenelon) August 27, 2013
Never did hear back from you on this one. Did you find them?
Could they be locked in your car?
@PoarchDaniel Why haven't the Red Sox signed Bogaerts to a long-term extension yet?
— Scott Candage (@ScottCandage) August 27, 2013
Insider scoop: the Red Sox are about to sign Bogaerts to a 30-year contract for infinity dollars.
@PoarchDaniel Who is the Miley Cyrus of the 2013 Red Sox?
— Timothy Brooks (@pastortimbrooks) August 27, 2013
Well, Jonny Gomes's defensive technique is about as close to twerking as you can get on a baseball field, isn't it?
@PoarchDaniel Switch hitting is overrated, amirite???
— Timothy Brooks (@pastortimbrooks) August 27, 2013
@TrollBagQs Would you consider Shane Victorino's success from the right side a result of ritually sacrificing his left-handed hitting ways?
— Brett Cowett (@BACowett) September 7, 2013
Shane does what Shane wants! Just let Shane be great!
@TrollBagQs Do you think the Red Sox are likely to get friend zoned?
— Adam Koscielak (@AdamKoscielak) August 28, 2013
No clue what that question is.
@PoarchDaniel Xander recently impregnated me with his eyes. What should I name the child?
— Ben Carsley (@BenCarsley22) August 26, 2013
If it's a boy, you should name him Jose Iglesias, because comedic irony is the best.
@PoarchDaniel Jake Peavy just threw a CG but if Iggy was at SS wouldn't the Dodgers not have scored at all? #Cafardo

@PoarchDaniel Is it true that a certain member of the Boston media has personally contacted the Tigers about reacquiring Jose Igleasias?
— Chip Buck (@Chip_Buck) August 25, 2013
I'm really growing to love how Nick Cafardo and Jose Iglesias are permanently tied to each other. What's really surprised me is that Cafardo is still a Sox writer – you would have thought he'd have switched to the Tigers' beat by now.
@PoarchDaniel I get a burning sensation when I piss after watching Jonny Gomes bat. Is this normal? #trollbag
— Chip Buck (@Chip_Buck) August 25, 2013
You may want to see a doctor. Gomes's Disorder is a serious issue, second only to Drew Syndrome in terms of Infectious Red Sox Diseases.

@PoarchDaniel Mookie Betts lit up the low minors this year, and Keith Law says he is a legit prospect. Should we trade Pedey now or later?

@TrollBagQs – What year can we expect Henry Owens to break Cy Young's win record?
— Frank Stevens (@homecourtbias) September 4, 2013
Well, assuming he starts every game, it should take him a little over three years. Seems attainable.
@PoarchDaniel @TrollBagQs Matt Thornton and Dempster suck, could the Sox trade them for Glen Perkins and Joe Mauer?
— Tyler (@BayareaSoxfan) September 7, 2013
It's possible. Why shoot so low, though? The Giants have been pretty bad this year, maybe they would part with Buster Posey and Sergio Romo.
@PoarchDaniel @TrollBagQs why did Ben DFA Bard? He was the centerpiece to land Stanton this offseason. He should be fired right? #

Building off this, is everybody properly prepared for the Daniel Bard Comeback Tour next year with the Cubs? We all know it's coming; I just don't know if my heart can handle it.
@PoarchDaniel Who are the Red Sox going to beat in the World Series?
— Timothy Brooks (@pastortimbrooks) August 27, 2013
Aaaand on that note, it's time to stop. See you guys next time.
