The Green Goblin "Gobby" super-rare that I sold for $45 almost as soon as I opened a 79¢ Marvel Dice Masters: Avengers vs. X-Men booster pack. The red stripe under the text denotes its rarity.
Hey kid! You want to buy a Green Goblin card and a single, six-sided die for $45? Sure, I paid less than a dollar for it … but it's super rare! Welcome to the Marvel Dice Masters: Avengers vs. X-Men speculation bubble. Enjoy it while it lasts.
A little more than a month ago, Wizkids Games released Marvel Dice Masters, a collectible cards and dice game that is already a smash hit at retail with a hugely speculative (and temporarily lucrative) aftermarket. With a two-player starter set and randomly packaged boosters, it's got kid appeal written all over it. And for the comics fans, there are plenty of Captain Americas, Wolverines and Spider-Mans to go around.
Well, maybe not.
Wizkids grossly underestimated demand for the game and, as a result, the $15 starter set was sold out at the distributor level and has been more or less unavailable since the game released. Unless, of course, you don't mind paying a 500-percent markup to grab one from a speculator or an unscrupulous game shop selling their stock on eBay rather than to customers that had preordered.
The booster packs, which sell for less than a dollar, have been more plentiful and have even been sighted in Target stores, but supplies have dwindled. Reprints are on the way, but there just isn't inventory for retailers to sell right now. I haven't seen anything like this since Magic: The Gathering released back in 1994. It is definitely a hot commodity right now and probably will be throughout the summer—especially with a new X-Men film in theaters and demand for Marvel characters at an all-time high.
The game itself is good and really quite innovative. Players select from their collection of cards, each depicting a Marvel hero or villain, and equip that card with special character-specific dice that come packaged with the cards. Over the course of the game, you draw dice out of a bag and roll them to get resources to claim more dice from your cards to put in your bag or to field the dice as characters to battle the other player and his characters. There's some resource management, some luck mitigation and plenty of smash-mouth superhero showdowns.
On the left is the starter set, one of the most in-demand game products on the market today. Wizkids simply did not manufacture enough of them to go around and, until restocks arrive in the coming weeks these are speculatively selling anywhere from $25-$60. On the right is a "gravity feed" booster box of 60 packs, each containing two dice and two cards.
I think it's a brilliant product. The $15 starter is a low-cost entry and the boosters are the cheapest thing you can buy in a hobby games store. The dice are fun—they're all color-coordinated with their characters and you can easily tell which one is a Loki and which one is a Dr. Strange from across the table. Hobbyists will appreciate the design, which follows on from an earlier non-collectible dice pool game called Quarriors that was also a big hit. Kids and casual gamers will love the characters, the low cost and the portability of the game. If I were a 12-year-old, I'd throw my cards and dice in my backpack for Dice Masters battles in the school lunchroom. But at 38, I saw the game not only as a fun time but also as a fun way to make a little money.
I was lucky enough to find an out-of-the-way online retailer that had preorders available for the starter and a display box of boosters for preorders, so I got mine the week of release. I thought about flipping the starter, which was already fetching $45-$50 the day the game came out. But I actually wanted to play the game and was fairly excited about it so I didn't. Out of my booster box, I pulled one of four "super rare" cards—a Green Goblin variant—and sold it within an hour for $45. I had only paid $41 for the booster box, so one card effectively bought 60 packs of cards and dice. Since I'm not a "power gamer" and I won't be playing in tournaments or at stores, I also sold all 12 of the "rare" cards out of what I got, ranging from $8-$12 apiece.
So, from one booster box, I managed to make around a $120 profit by simply opening the packs and selling the rarer, more scarce cards at a premium to buyers who were presumably looking to complete a full set of cards and dice. I took that money and did what any enterprising person would do. I bought another box.
Any Marvel Comics fan will thrill to bring favorites like Doctor Octopus, Nightcrawler and Black Widow into battle, even in in their much less valuable common varieties.
The second box didn't have a super rare, which are estimated to be distributed on a 1:90-booster-pack ratio, so that was like not finding a $50 bill in the box. But I did get another 11 rares and plenty of uncommon cards, and I managed to make more than $100 on the second box. These sales were all within a week of the game's release. The aftermarket was on fire, cards were being quite frankly overvalued due to perceived rarity and the general lack of product on shelves.
And then, a couple of online retailers started posting singles for sale. One retailer had five of those Green Goblins in stock for $30 apiece. Quite tellingly, they were also sold out of booster boxes. I think they realized, like I did, that there was more money to be made from opening the packs and selling the booster boxes parceled out.
But here's the thing: this is just another Dutch Tulip Craze. I knew from the start that this kind of wild speculation—which started quite literally when some guy posted a super-rare with a $45 buy-it-now price on eBay, thus setting the pace—wasn't going to last. The super-rares are holding out around $35-$40 in most places, but many of the rares that I was getting up to $12 for are coming down to less than $5. The uncommons that I was getting $5 for are plummeting to $1 and $2 for some of the more desirable ones. The common cards are almost not worth the paper they are printed on.
A diagram of the Dutch Tulip Craze of November 1636 to February 1637. Google it. Believe it or not, this whole thing really relates to how Marvel Dice Masters has blown up in the aftermarket.
This trend is going to continue as more product gets to store shelves. In short, the Marvel Dice Masters market is already crashing less than a month after it started. There are a couple of underlying factors as well, such as the fact that players do not need more than one copy of each card. Multiple dice are needed to fully stock a character card, so there is some slight value there, but we're still talking less than a dollar there. I'm predicting that the super-rares will drop $10-$20 in value by the end of the summer (after the big gaming conventions, such as GenCon and Origins) and the rares will remain in the $3-$5 range, with some spiking higher after tournament results and session reports come in.
It's been interesting to watch the pre-release hype, the scramble for starter sets and the flash-in-the-pan speculative aftermarket. Now that the dust has cleared, I'm happy to have a big collection of the game to play with and I'm looking forward to September. That's when the next set, focused more on the X-Men, releases. I don't think the demand will be as crazy, but the early rush for rares and super-rares may prove profitable. And I love the X-Men!

Insider knowledge: Sugared Almonds 1982 - Wemyss Malts (Aultmore) whisky is named whisky by virtue of the fact it's from Scotland. If distilled in America the spelling would be Sugared Almonds 1982 - Wemyss Malts (Aultmore) whiskey, as opposed to whisky.
Nose: Just as the name suggests, sugared almonds to the fore. Very nutty and sweet, with hints of barley sugar, grist, marzipan and calves leather. Danish pastries too.
Palate: Sweet and very spicy with notes of cardamom and hints of cassia bark, this develops on clove oil, black pepper and marzipan. Malty.
Finish: Long, salty finish - all becomes quite coastal. More of those pastries, which have become Cinnamon Whirls...

Manning Gottlieb retains DWP enrolment brief
Manning Gottlieb OMD has retained the media planning contract for the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) automatic enrolment campaign, after a three-way pitch.
Theo Paphitis: Dragon's Den star features in the DWP pensions enrolment campaign
The Omnicom agency successfully defended the business against WPP's MediaCom and another undisclosed agency.
Manning Gottlieb will now continue its work on the DWP's 'I'm In' campaign, on which the department plans to spend £8m.
The campaign launched in September 2012 and has starred celebrity bosses including Theo Paphitis of 'Dragon's Den' and Karren Brady from 'The Apprentice'.
The TV and print campaign, created by Adam&eve/DDB, aims to educate businesses about sweeping pensions changes that mean employers now automatically enrol their workers into a pension if they meet certain criteria.
Robert Ffitch, the chief executive of Manning Gottlieb OMD, said: "We are incredibly proud to have won this competitive pitch for a campaign of such high national importance, and are looking forward to continuing our on-going relationship with DWP."
Manning Gottlieb won the media planning brief in October 2011, following a pitch against PHD and MEC.
Media buying for the campaign will continue to be handled by Group M's M4C.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) - The Buffalo Common Council has sent a letter to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, supporting the proposal for a new stadium on the Buffalo Outer Harbor.
Below is the entire letter:
"Dear Commissioner Goodell,
On behalf of the Common Council of the City of Buffalo we would like to bring to your attention of the unanimous resolution of this body in support of the efforts to explore the development of a new multipurpose sports facility on the waterfront site known as the Buffalo Outer Harbor.
The Common Council has carefully deliberated over this matter. City officials have participated in presentations by HKS, Inc. of Dallas and their local development underwriter, the Greater Buffalo Sports & Entertainment Complex, LLC. Over the last year, the development group has also hosted numerous
informational community forums.
It is the intention of the City to exercise all due diligence in exploration of the feasibility of the proposed project. We believe the City of Buffalo will be the lead public agency in any necessary collaboration with other government agents for the express purpose of extending a land option to the development group.
There is significant community support for this large-scale economic development opportunity and the City stands ready to work in partnership with the NFL by pursuing the opportunity presented by the development team. We understand that it takes almost a decade to build a state of the art facility and we
also understand the risks of not preparing for the inevitable challenges of the future.
We hope that a pro-active approach, early communication and cooperation with the NFL will allow us to work in conformity with League guidelines and practices and in planning a facility that will enhance the NFL brand and improve the brand and economy of the City of Buffalo and Western New York."
We will have more information tonight on Eyewitness News.

Minor clarification on Step 1 of Roo Boy's solution
'1. Right-click key and select Permissions <---.(not Properties) If Administrators (My-PC\Administrators) is listed under Security\Groups or user names, just highlight that and check the Full Control box under Permissions for Administrators. Then proceed to step 7. If not, then proceed to Step 2.'
I didn't need to switch the ownership...I just had to give my regular user account, which is a local admin, Full Control.
Anyway, thanks again and hopefully my comments will add some additional value to your already priceless post. Anyone who is savvy enough to muck around in the registry would figure this out without my comments most likely.

"There's a lot of... *wheeze* running and... *wheeze* jumping, isn't it?"For many years, the dominant form of console video game. The Platform Game or Platformer is characterized by gameplay dominated by leaping over or onto enemy characters and between platforms of varying heights. In the traditional 2D platformer, play progresses from left to right. Other such games, mostly involving infiltration or return scenarios, choose the sneaky approach from the right. Some games (especially older ones) only allow movement in one direction. An Auto Scrolling platformer advances the scenery independent of the Player Character's movement, and thus the player can be pinned by a platform as it scrolls off the screen. Auto scrolling was rare for entire games, but frequently appeared for individual levels. As a rule, Player Characters in the platformer are Bouncing Battlers who are critically injured by colliding with enemies, can jump very high, and, in accordance with the special laws of physics applicable to video game characters, are able to change direction in mid-air. Bottomless Pits and other kinds of pit traps are common hazards. The first games which started to have platform game elements are Frogs (first game which included jumping, but no platforms) released for the arcades in 1978 and Space Panic (which had platforming, but no jumping), released in 1980. Finally, Donkey Kong, which was released a year later, put those two things together, and Jump Bug added side scrolling to the mix. The first game widely considered to fit this format is Pitfall, but the style gained its widest acceptance with Super Mario Bros. 1 2D platformers are still being made, due to their accessibility and ease of programming, as independent PC titles, web-based Flash games, and for the various handheld console platforms and cell phones. Games where the player is given a firearm and emphasis is put on such weapons are known as "run-and-gun" games, with some famous examples being Contra and Metal Slug. Although they are often associated with the Shoot 'em Up genre, the player is still bound by gravity and often jumps across platforms, so they are still platform games in a strong sense of the word. The 3D equivalent to the platformer is almost always rendered in the third person, as with Super Mario 64 and Crash Bandicoot (1996), but Metroid Prime and its sequels are considered by many to be hybrids of the 3D Platformer and the First-Person Shooter (with Metroidvania elements, of course). The only straight first-person platformer series are Jumping Flash! and the more recent Mirror's Edge. This genre has heavy overlap with the Action Game genre, especially in games in which enemies aren't defeated by jumping directly on them such titles as:Metroid, Jak and Daxter, Ratchet & Clank and the Mega Man series among others are still characterized as platformers because they have a dedicated jump button and jumping is still a large part of the gameplay. Like most game genres, platformers are steadily evolving with the times; they started as linear obstacle courses, but gradually became less linear, with multiple level paths, playable overworld areas, and/or map screens with different routes; eventually, the genre even began branching into the Metroidvania genre. They became much less linear with the jump to 3D, and became known as 'collectathon' titles. The first few were fine, but after the thousandth or so knock-off, gamers eventually began to get sick of this. As a result, "collectathon" titles began waning in popularity. As of right now, the genre is in a weird stage of either being based on particular gimmicks, or going back to its roots - in particular New Super Mario Bros. and LittleBigPlanet are generally credited with reviving the 2D platforming genre. The former became puzzle games of a sort (eventually becoming prevalent enough to be considered a sub-genre), and the latter tend to be more linear, pure platforming challenges, and spawned the Platform Hell phenomenon. Subgenres include Cinematic Platform Game (which has a more realistic style), Platform Hell (which is really, really freaking hardnote - no, seriously), Elimination Platformer, and Puzzle Platformer (which combines elements of Puzzle Games).
Games in this genre:
2D Platform Games
(Single-Screen Levels)
(Limited Scrolling)
Horizontally-Oriented Levels
Vertically-Oriented Levels
3D Platform Games
3 D Platform Games

The hotel was very nice, and clean. The room has a nice big flat screen tv, and I had a refrigerator and microwave in my room. I slept so well in the bed, and the room even included a ceiling fan. The breakfast was great, and the service was exceptional. I definitely will stay here again.

Limited servicesPosted Oct 10, 2012 on Hotels.com
Out of main Lufkin town centre & limited eating choices (1 restaurant in the complex, not open Sunday's). I paid through Hotels.com (2 separate bookings as I added another night after I first booked) but Holiday Inn also charged me & I had trouble explaining to them that I had already paid. Eventually I received a refund. The room was modern and well cleaned. Basic Breakfast is included (help yourself but plenty of it). I probably would try something closer to restaurants in walking distance next time.

Psychosis can create a particularly terrible kind of pain that leads to suicidal behavior. Robert Bayley, who suffered for years from schizophrenia, recounted his struggles with extremely frightening hallucinations:
The reality for myself is almost constant pain and torment. The voices and visions, which are so commonly experienced, intrude and so disturb my everyday life. The voices are predominantly destructive, either rambling in alien tongues or screaming orders to carry out violent acts. They also persecute me by way of unwavering commentary and ridicule to deceive, derange, and force me into a world of crippling paranoia. Their commands are abrasive and all-encompassing and have resulted in periods of suicidal behavior and self-mutilation. I have run in front of speeding cars and severed arteries while feeling this compulsion to destroy my own life. As their tenacity gains momentum, there is often no element of choice, which leaves me feeling both tortured and drained.

:) I think I have made a mistake without actually thinking it through. I have decided to move away from my xp1800 machine as it's been causing me problems so decided to go with the competitior Intel.
From reading the verdicts in terms of performance I wish i had gone with an athlon dual core but its too late I have brought a motherboard and cant return it and I might as well take the risk and give intel a try.
So i purchased myself a ASUS P5ND2 SLI (Nforce 4 sli chipset, Intel LGA775, FSB 1066, Dual DDR-2 667, sata 2 3gb/s)
and was interested in getting a Intel Pentium D 930 Socket 775 3GHz 2x2MB FSB800
I just want to know if these two are compatible with each other. I presume because I have brought a LGA775 motherboard. the two are compatible
I also brought a Maxtor Maxline III 250GB sata 2 HDD. I presume this will all be compatible as well.
If someone could give me a simple idea whether its all good. That would be great.
Also i have a Geforce 4 FX5200 AGP card. WIll this be compatible with this. I realise now that there is a more funky version called the PCI-E.

Kids Helping Kids Raise Thousands For Community
Updated On: Dec 10 2013 08:19:06 PM CST
Students in the advanced placement economics class at San Marcos High School are raising thousands of dollars for the community.
The students make up Kids Helping Kids, the nonprofit on campus.
The AP economics starts out like any other class as kids find their seat and put their cellphones away. But then the students take over.
"We're asking for $100,000 for five years. So every year we're going to get that hopefully," said a student about a future fundraising effort.
The classroom turns into the Kids Helping Kids headquarters.
"It's just fun for us to feel like we're doing something important. I think that's what it comes down to. We actually get to have a say in what happens in class. And Kids Helping Kids and econ become one," said Carter Hudson, the Kids Helping Kids CEO.
The goal is to teach the students responsibility and business skills while helping others.
"This is a great responsibility for us to join and give back to the community which is awesome. I think it's incredible because we're only students in high school," said student Agustin Angel.
The group has raised thousands of dollars to help students pay for needs such as advanced placement and SAT exams or even a wheelchair for a disabled student. They have also sent money to help young people in Africa.
Now, they are raffling off a Mini Cooper. Tickets are $10 and the winner will be announced at the annual benefit concert on Jan. 11 at the Granada Theater in Santa Barbara.
On Friday, Hudson will join two other students and a teacher to meet with a big casino boss in Las Vegas. It's just one a the dozen Fortune 500 CEOs they'll meet with.
"Maybe partner with them financially, but more so just have the opportunity to go into a meeting in a more high pressure situation and meet with some really influential people," said Hudson.
For more information on how to purchased a Mini Cooper raffle ticket, click here.

Which is what will have to happen if they actually list the Kentucky Creation Museum as one of the top 15 places kids should see before they are of 15 years age. Budget Travel is running this crowd source internet poll and of course the Fundies are out in force clicking on the Creation Museum, Kentucky, which is currently in third place behind the US SPace and Rocket Center in Alabama and the Smithsonian, but ahead of Yosemite.
You can click on as many attractions as you want, and do it every day. Personally, I've been clicking on everything with four digits worth of votes so far but that is not the Creation museum. It only takes a minute. Go and help out!

More Information
Fall Creek Falls State Park, in Tennessee, is one of the largest natural areas in Tn. The park also contains a large amount of resort development, and is probably the most heavily visited state park in Tennessee. In the summer, the intern would be working with a general population on a variety of natural and cultural programs.

Because I monk in ab, i usually get picked for a lot of guild teams. In the middle of the match, all twelve started to buch up. I pointed out we were mobbing, and suggested we spread out. Then i got a few replies from the guild group that mobbing=win. So I played along, mostly because it's not easy to go off and cap by yourself when you are a monk. I have started hearing it a lot now, which got me sick of it and I have started going off on my own to cap as monk, letting them shout whatever they want at me.
So my questions are...
1) Are there many people that believe mobbing is a good strategy?
2) Is there a better way to stop them mobbing other than shouting at them (which has no effect apparantly)?
P.S. Started going with guildies and alliance members, because i couldn't be bothered trying to find people who agree with me.

The Mob Strategy?
20-08-2008, 16:46 #2
The solution you've chosen is the best one. Not many people will agree and even if one other from your team does, the fact that the 2 others will go in another direction will make your team fail anyways.
1. too many hence the popularity of MM's and whatever tank builds are popular at the time.
2. Not really. If people decide they think mobbing is good, there's not really any way to convince them it isn't because AB has such a large room for error.
21-08-2008, 10:56 #3
2.) I sometimes run an 8 spirit ranger bar with "the nasty ones" that screw up everyone(e.g. quicksand, quickening zephyr, eoe etc). Usually, they realise it isnt worth it, or at least the players with some part of a brain left lol.
21-08-2008, 15:35 #4
That's just stupid. You screw over your own team just as much and they can't even remove the effects themselves by killing the spirits. Besides you are running around useless effectively reducing your teams number of players by 1 making the match 11v12 or how many there's left.
21-08-2008, 22:10 #5
I just have something to say when you realize everybody is mobbing....
22-08-2008, 00:47 #6
A big phat NO!
that does in no way help out your team. you'll most likely be interrupted a lot and won't do anything besides doing minor damage. Oh and did I mention being 99% useless the rest of the match?

Trapper in no way suits ab, too much space,
04-09-2008, 13:26 #8
1) Mobbing's purpose is to overpower the enemy by sheer numbers. For example, Group A is at their shrine. Group A2 start attacking said shrine. Right now, Group A has the advantage. They have at least four people from their group and at least 2 NPC's at the shrine with very powerful skills at their disposal. Whereas group A2 only really has up to 4 people.
Looking at another scenario, same situation however group A2 is backed up by group B2. You now have eight people going up against a shrine that has about 6. That's a lot more people to watch for group A with only 32 skills to go off of where the other two groups get 64. Chances are groups A2 and B2 will win the shrine.
2) However the problem comes in when people keep mobbing. When you mob, you also don't maximize your capping abilities since the speed at which you cap is topped out at 4 people. That's 4 other people that are essentially out of the game just sitting there. So mobbing is a very slow way of capping shrines. Therein lies the counter. If a team A is being mobbed by team B, then team A should try to issue better mobility maneuvers in order to out-cap said mob.

While you do overpower that one shrine with a mob there are at least 4 other shrines to worry about. three groups of four can cap three shrines at once, while one mobb can cap one shrine.
A mob will also gain pts by kills and a full mob will get a good chunk of kills. A smart team will see a mob and run the other way calling to his other teams to avoid the mob. Thus 1 big mob ends up running around with no targets and poor capping ability. They loose because capping shrines is the key in there.
The only good mob tactic would be to let the other team take the rez shrine, and make sure you have some good kills already. Stand out of cap range and kill them as they rez.
If you are running off as the monk to cap something else good. A few smarter players will notice the monk is leaving and follow you. The others will use group think and keep mobbing.
05-09-2008, 09:21 #10
There are also advantages in trying to stall a mob with your small group as well.
When facing a mob and your team is at your shrine, there is a good chance that you are going to lose that shrine. However, sometimes its best not to just let them have it. For example, a shrine being attacked by a mob will realistically have at most 3-4 people actively trying to cap it (casters will be in back trying to fend off your team and not actively moving in to help cap it). Even if they have more people, say five, that means that for the however many people above four people is there, really only equates to one or two people capping. So if your team is at your shrine and there are only really three to four people trying to take it from you (even if there is more) then that means that you are putting people out of the game, more than your team. Now if you can hold onto it for as long as you can before calling a retreat, you can slow the capping speed of a mob even more. The trick is to figure out when to call the retreat.
Again, as to everything, there is a counter in tactics. If people start realizing what is happening and start moving in to help cap, you ether have to focus on those people (try to drive them back) or just fall back altogether. They bested you and you did all you could to prevent a capture at your shrine, good job. However if they start killing off your teammates, then you failed. So figure out when your team loses control of the fight and fall back so this doesn't happen.

Yay!! School.
So, school has finally begun for both girls. I don't know if I'm in the minority here, but A6 and her ADHD is difficult to deal with and having her back in school for several hours is a blessing. Plus it's just nice to be back on a more regular schedule
New family member
So this week I added a new girl to my family. Her name also starts with an A, but she's 13, so I guess I'll be referring to them as A13 & A6 😉
Sadly, A13 has a strict "no contact" rule with her family which she is finding difficult to deal with. As would anyone, I suppose.
Short Placement
So I just had a one week placement! Two teenage sisters joined our household for one short week. They were sweet girls, this was their first detainment.
The 16 year old was helpful & cried a lot. The 13 year old helped when asked and was very angry at her situation, but they were both very respectful.
It was good for my 6 year old though, she definitely benefited from having big sisters who help without arguing first, and who offer to help all on their own. 😉
Forever and a Day part Two
It's been so long since I've been on Tumbler that I had to make up a new password. (Yikes!!) it's amazing how much busier life gets when you're actually being a mom!
Forever and a Day
So, yesterday I celebrated my first Mother's Day. (Yay!) I've had my six year old, A, for a little over five months now, and the highlight of my day was our dinner time prayer. It was myself, A, and my mom, it was my turn to pray, I was thanking God for my mom for what a good mom she was and asked that I would be as good a mom as she was; A started whispering to me during my prayer, "you're a good mom, mom. Mom, you're a good mom."
New Blessing & Karma
So, I've had my new 6 yr old darling for one week & one day now. And she is adorable and yet one of her particular quirks is that she constantly tells me "I know."
My mom thinks that she is the perfect child for me, as she reminds me I used to drive my Granny up a wall telling her "I know" to things I couldn't possibly know.
Oh, karma….how you haunt me.
Timing is everything…
Advent reminds us to "look" for Christ's coming. To remember anew that Christ did come2013 years…
As I sit waiting for a Foster Placement at Christmas. (I was REALLY looking forward to having kids at Christmas) this blog post about God's perfect timing is a good reminder.

Latest Player Updatesclose
Jesus Colome
Wed Aug 18, 2010 10:18 am Rangers signed RHP Jesus Colome to a minor league contract.
Fantasy Source Spin: He was assigned to Triple-A Oklahoma City. Colome was released by the Dodgers last month after being lit up for five runs over 1 1/3 innings in three appearances with Triple-A Albuquerque. The 32-year-old right-hander had a 5.29 ERA in 12 appearances with the Mariners earlier this season.
Sun Sep 6, 2009 2:25 pm Brewers released RHP Jesus Colome.
Fantasy Source Spin: There had to be some sort of off-the-field issue here. Colome, who recently missed time with a forearm strain, hadn't pitched since coming off the disabled list on Friday.
Source: MLBlogs.com
Fri Sep 4, 2009 8:34 pm Brewers activated RHP Jesus Colome from the 15-day disabled list.
Fantasy Source Spin: The move gives the Brew Crew 10 pitchers in the bullpen. Colome had made just five appearances for the Brewers before being put on the disabled list; he was beyond awful during a stint with the Nationals earlier in the year. He offers no fantasy value and probably never will.
Fri Aug 21, 2009 3:37 pm Brewers placed Jesus Colome on the 15-day disabled list with a right forearm strain.
Fantasy Source Spin: Colome took a pitch off his hand last Wednesday, which might have something to do with the ensuing forearm strain. Colome had made just five appearances for the Brewers before going down.
Wed Aug 12, 2009 10:25 am Jesus Colome exited Tuesday night's game after being struck on the pitching hand by a line drive.
Fantasy Source Spin: "He got hit on the back of the hand, and they just think it's a bruise," Brewers manager Ken Macha said. X-rays showed no broken bones, but Colome is going to have a good amount of soreness and probably won't be available for a few days. He was signed to a minor league deal in late July after being released by the Nationals.
Source: MLBlogs
Thu Aug 6, 2009 5:51 pm The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports that there is a "very strong possibility" that the Brewers will call up Jesus Colome on Saturday.
Fantasy Source Spin: Either Chris Smith (13 earned runs in 31 1/3 innings) or R.J. Swindle (12 runs in 6 2/3 innings) would probably be demoted to make room. Colome was let go by the Nationals earlier this season after he posted a 8.40 ERA, 1.93 WHIP and .348 BAA in 15 relief appearances. The 31-year-old right-hander would possess no fantasy value if promoted.
Source: Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel
Sat Jul 4, 2009 5:18 pm Nationals designated RHP Jesus Colome for assignment.
Fantasy Source Spin: Jason Bergmann is expected to get the call from Triple-A Syracuse before Sunday's game. Colome was awful, compiling an 8.40 ERA and .348 BAA in 15 appearances this season.
Sat Jun 20, 2009 11:02 pm Jesus Colome departed in the top of the 11th inning Saturday with a right quad strain.
Fantasy Source Spin: The right-handed reliever is listed as day-to-day. Colome walked the Blue Jays' Adam Lind, walked off the mound and bent over at his waist. Trainers immediately rushed out and removed him from the contest.
Sat Apr 4, 2009 8:36 pm The Nationals said they were prevented from carrying Jesus Colome because he was released in December.
Fantasy Source Spin: One more present from former GM Jim Bowden. Colome was in fact released, two days before he could have been non-tendered and re-signed without any conditions. Manager Manny Acta must not have realized it either after penciling Colome into his pen last month. Since he was released and re-signed, he's not eligible to pitch for the Nationals until May 15.
Source: Washington Post
Sat Mar 14, 2009 4:25 pm Jesus Colome earned the win in relief Saturday by pitching a scoreless inning versus the Mets.
Fantasy Source Spin: The Nats gambled and won when they let Colome go and then got him back on a minor league contract. He has a 1.50 ERA and a 4/0 K/BB ratio this spring, so it looks like he'll be back in the team's pen, possibly in an eighth-inning role.
Wed Dec 10, 2008 4:04 pm Nationals released RHP Jesus Colome.
Fantasy Source Spin: The Nats were going to non-tender Colome, but they decide to make the move a couple of days early in order to free up a second spot on the 40-man roster in advance of Thursday's Rule 5 draft. Colome made 61 appearances for the Nats in each of the last two seasons and finished with ERAs of 3.82 in 2007 and 4.31 last year. The team is moving on because he was probably going to earn $1.75 million or so in arbitration.

Empire of Tea (04 Edition)by Iris Macfarlane
Synopses & ReviewsPlease note that used books may not include additional media (study guides, CDs, DVDs, solutions manuals, etc.) as described in the publisher comments.
Publisher Comments:
"[An] unfailingly informative history of tea... An absorbing read."-Kirkus
From Darjeeling to Lapsang Souchon, from India to Japan-a fresh, concise, world-encompassing exploration of the way tea has shaped politics, culture, and the environment throughout history. From the fourth century BC in China, where it was used as an aid in Buddhist meditation, to the Boston Tea Party in 1773, to its present-day role as the most consumed substance on the planet, the humble Camellia plant has had profound effects on civilization. Renowned cultural anthropologist Alan MacFarlane and Iris MacFarlane recount the history of tea from its origin in the eastern Himalayas and explains, among other things, how tea became the world's most prevalent addiction, how tea was used as an instrument of imperial control, and how the cultivation of tea drove the industrial revolution. Both an absorbing narrative and a fascinating tour of some of the world's great cultures-Japan, China, India, France, the Britain, and others-The Empire of Tea brings into sharp focus one of the forces that shaped history.
A fresh, concise, and world-encompassing exploration of the way tea has shaped politics, culture, and the environment throughout history: An absorbing read. - Kirkus

Here are observations from coach Dennis Erickson on the day after his third ASU team opened with a 50-3 win over Idaho State:
"The management of the game went very well. Calling plays wasn't a problem. Rich (Olson, offensive coordinator) sees a lot upstairs that he sends down. That makes a huge difference. I'll ask him to call some plays."
"We didn't turn it over, No. 1, which is amazing in a first game. There weren't a lot of sloppy penalties. We executed well at times but had some growing pains in the front as far as assignments. We dropped too many balls. If there was anything negative, it was that."
On starting QB Danny Sullivan: "Danny played within himself and showed great leadership. He was throwing it away (when needed), not taking sacks and not throwing where he shouldn't be throwing. We protected well so he didn't have very much pressure."
On drops by WRs Kyle Williams and Gerell Robinson: "They don't drop very many balls. It was just one of those days. Some were tougher catches than they looked."
On true freshman QB Brock Osweiler: "He stuck that touchdown in there. It was an outstanding throw, but I'm not sure you want to make that throw very many times because the coverage was there. He had composure and moved around."
On the tailbacks: "We were fortunate to play all of them. All of them had some good things happen. Dimitri (Nance) was solid in there as we knew he would be. The young kid (Cameron Marshall) played well. (Ryan) Bass made some runs. Shaun (DeWitty) also did some good things on special teams. They all pass protected way better. We've got to get that thing (rotation) down. We're trying to evaluate that."
On the defense: "The biggest thing was they went out and played with great passion and great intensity regardless of the opponent. You go through the tape, it's unbelievable how hard we played, every single guy. There wasn't one guy who dogged it, not one loaf. We run to the ball, and it became contagious as the game went on."
On settling for five field goals of less than 30 yards: "It was just mistakes (in the red zone), not what we're doing. We dropped balls and missed assignments here and there. It's not anything that can't be cured. You do things very well in practice then in the game it becomes a little different."
On linebacker Mike Nixon's three interceptions and blocked punt: "That's a pretty good day's work, I don't care who you're playing. He's got a great feel for things."
On Trevor Hankins punting instead of Thomas Weber: "I'd like to be able to do that and take pressure off Thomas to do both. Hankins has been punting good, and it's about even (in practice) so I decided to go with him. The biggest thing is not getting it blocked, and he (Hankins) is getting it off just as fast or faster."
On walk-on WR Brian Matsumoto's TD catch: "He's a pleasant surprise. He's done it in camp and took it on the field."
The Sun Devils, who have a bye this week, will practice Tuesday-Thursday then get most of the weekend off. That's their only break of the season as they begin an 11-week consecutive run of games against Louisiana-Monroe on Sept. 19.
