Interview with Former Major League Pitcher, Aaron Sele
Here is the dialogue from an interview I conducted with former All-Star Aaron Sele. Sele pitched 15 seasons for the Red Sox, Rangers, Mariners, Angels, Dodgers, and Mets, in that order. Sele was named to 2 All-Star teams and accrued a 33.6 life time fWAR, or Fangraphs version of wins above replacement. Sele is currently a special assistant to Dodgers GM, Ned Colletti, as a roving minor league pitching instructor.
Justin Millar: Being born in Minnesota, but later moving to Washington in your youth, which area do you associate yourself more with it?
Aaron Sele: "It's definitely Washington. I left Minnesota when I was 5, so I really grew up in Washington. I lived there for 30 years, went to school there and my parents and sister are still there and we visit often. I still have lots of extended family in Minnesota and visited quite a bit as a kid but not as much as an adult."
JM: In your freshman year at Washington State, former All-Star John Olerud was finishing up his junior year. What advice did he give to you, and how big was his impact on your fellow underclassmen?
AS: "John is a great person. Just by having a person like that on your team, it impacts in a positive way. Not to mention he was arguable one of the best college players, ever. Just the way he went about his business, handling the college lifestyle the right way, working at his baseball skills, never letting the emotions of the game interfere with him and just being positive rubbed off on everyone."
"He hit .424 with 24 HR and went 15-0 on the mound his sophomore year. Finished 2nd to Robin Ventura in the Golden Spikes Award. Robin had a 50 some game hit streak that year. He also had an aneurysm in the fall going into his JR year when I was there."
JM: What was the draft experience like to you?
AS: "It definitely was much different from todays world with all the information at everyone's fingertips like it is. I originally got drafted by Minnesota Twins in the 37th round out of high school. We knew there were scouts in the stands but there were probably more college guys than pros and we really didn't understand the whole process. When I got the call I was in shock. Minnesota made a great offer, more along the lines of 10th rounder, but I knew Washington State University was going to be a great thing for me and it was. I got a chance to grow up, mature physically and mentally and enjoy the college experience."
"I got drafted in the 1st round out of college by the Red Sox. I had talked to lots of scouts that year and heard I was going in the 1st round by all of them. Draft day came and I was really a mix of emotions, I just couldn't stick around the house. We got lots of phone calls from media wondering if we'd heard anything yet and we didn't. I was in a little shock because of everything I'd heard all year. The next day was the same thing, no calls from a baseball club. I was pretty disappointed. Around 9 pm on the 2nd day, finally got a call from a media person who said I can't believe you haven't been told yet and he told me I was taken by the Red Sox 22nd overall on day 1. Red Sox call the next morning."
JM: In 1993, you were involved in a brawl with White Sox slugger, George Bell. What went through your head when you saw Bell charging at you?
AS: "The first thought I had was, quit dropping your elbow and drive it in there. George was a big time pull with power guy and was on a tear at the time. We knew we had to double up in on him to open up the down and away slot. I had just thrown a quality 2 seam fastball in under his hands the pitch before that he didn't like and I was going to throw a "better" one. Instead of focusing on the location I tried to throw it harder and dropped my elbow causing the HBP. After that things happened pretty fast."
JM: You were the Opening Day starter for the Boston Red Sox at the age of 25, how did it feel to be on such a large stage at such a young age?
AS: "That's one of the highlights of my career. We were coming off the strike shortened spring training and Roger Clemens had a sore groin so they were going to give him a few extra days so they gave the start to me. Your first start every year gets you really excited but opening day in Boston is a really big event. The fans are excited, Fenway is decorated with all the bunting and it is absolutely electric. Great experience and we won."
JM: What was the experience like to be a member of the 2001 Mariners team that won 116 games? How was the atmosphere in the clubhouse? And how disappointing was it to win so many regular season games, but not the World Series?
AS: "A ML player really should only have 1 goal and that's to win a World Series. The 2001 team had 25 guys who all had that goal. Selfless ab's to move runners, guys accepting their roles and playing well in them, quality people on and off the field. Just a once in a lifetime group that played good, solid baseball everyday. It was fun to go to the field to work everyday with those guys."
"We were all very disappointed to not win the World Series that year because we knew how good we were. Those opportunities don't come around very often in a player's career. We were proud of what we accomplished but not satisfied with the season because of the WS. I only realized how close it was, winning the WS, after the next year when I was part of the 2002 Angels that did win."
JM: You made 2 All-Star teams during your 15 year career. What's the All-Star experience like from a player's perspective?
AS: "The All-Star game is a great experience. I think it's a game that gives the players a chance to give back to the fans who support baseball throughout the year. It's a chance to go show everyone who the best players in the game, for that year, are. It's an honor to be chosen."
"The process of getting to the game, getting family to and from, planning out tickets and all of those details can be overwhelming. MLB and team traveling secretaries really help with this process but it can be difficult. Especially, if you have already made plans to do something else during that time. It's well worth all those inconveniences to go."
JM: In 2006 and 2007, you pitched mainly out of the bullpen. What was it like to transition to the bullpen after starting for nearly your entire career and how did your mindset change?
AS: "In 2006 I started up until the July trade deadline and then we acquired Greg Maddux. I was moved to the pen and pitched out of the pen for the next year and half. It was a difficult adjustment for me. The biggest issue I had was, for 13 years as a starter, I was able to set the pace of the game and really control how the game unfolded. As a reliever, you jump into the middle of something you have no rhythm with and just go. That's why relievers usually have more "stuff" than a starter. He can go all out with his 2 best pitches and get outs."
JM: In 1998 and 1999, your strikeout rate was nearly 2 strikeouts per 9 innings higher than your career average. What was different those 2 seasons, and did you consider yourself more of "pitch to contact" or "swing and miss" pitcher?
AS: "I got traded over to Texas in 1998 and for a variety of reasons the strikeout rates jumped. I was mentally freed up from a few years of grinding in Boston with injuries and pitching coach transitions. Our trainer, Ray Ramirez, (now the Mets head trainer), got me on a great shoulder program so I was healthy all year. Dick Bosman, pitching coach, was a very solid, low-key personality that I clicked with. In that ballpark you also had to go for strikeouts because of the way the ball flies there. After 2 years there I went to Seattle and played "pitch to contact" because of the park and our defense. After that, my shoulder surgery really took away my best strikeout pitch, my curve."
"When I first got called up in 1993, I was asked a very similar question. Are you a power guy or a location guy? In 93′ I probably maxed out around 91-92 mph. That may be stretching it too. (Look how far arms have come) I really was pitcher. I had to mix speeds and use different locations. My stuff really played out to about 1/3 strikeouts, 1/3 ground ball outs and 1/3 fly ball outs."
JM: What was your favorite city to play in?
AS: "As a home park, Seattle was the best. We had a great team, the city supported us so well and it was home. The perfect storm for a baseball player."
"As a visitor, I loved going to Chicago. Great restaurants, nice people, perfect weather in the summertime."
JM: Who was the toughest opposing batter you every faced?
AS: "Probably Ken Griffey Jr. I struggled against left-handed hitters because I didn't have a change-up and he was arguably the best in the game at the time. He had power, speed and the ability to hit for average. Not a good combination for me."
JM: Could you give us a quick scouting report on Dodgers pitching prospect, Garrett Gould?
AS: "Garret is a young pitcher from Kansas who is currently with our Ranch Cucamonga affiliate. He is a great competitor with a plus curveball and above average fastball. He is a great teammate and really focuses on winning games for his team. He has continued to get better every year we've had him and is having another very solid year again."
JM: When evaluating a young pitcher, what are some specific things you look for? Also, who would you say had the best "stuff" of any opposing pitcher you've seen?
AS: "When looking at young pitchers I really look at the whole package. Since there is no 1 formula for being able to pitch in the big leagues you really have to consider everything. Does he command? Does the breaking ball have an edge or bite to it? Is there room for the throw to get better? What is his role in the ML going to be? Who have I seen like him before who has been successful in the ML's? What does this pitcher do well and not as well? How can you improve those areas? Does he handle himself like a professional, on and off the field? And many more of those types of things."
"The best stuff of any opposing pitcher has to be some of the guys I played against in the minor leagues. Most of the "stuff" guys didn't make it though. No command, not professional and things like that. There's a reason they say the best "stuff" is usually in A ball. Those guys have to try to figure out how to make it work as a package."
"As a teammate in the big leagues, Scot Shields, with the Angels, had the best stuff. We had a closer in Troy Percival, who saved over 300 games and should be a Hall of Famer and Frankie Rodriguez, who went on to have some very solid years as a closer and every one on the other team would say, "Oh man, I hope I don't have to face Shields""
JM: How much value do you put in statistics when evaluating one of your players?
AS: "As long as the numbers are in a decent range, not much. It's tough to say a guy with a 6.00 era is good but the one with a 1.20 era isn't always the best either."
JM: What was it like to adjust from playing to coaching?
AS: "For me, it was fairly easy adjustment. I always loved to talk the game and that's really what I do now. Pitchers and I talk about situations, pitch selection, routines and all aspects of the game. It's the one area I just don't see enough of anymore. If you talk about things and have an idea of how you would handle it then when it comes up in the game your better prepared to handle it. You also never know whose information is going to help and when. Some of the best advice I ever got about pitching came from players and hitting coaches."
JM: What was the best moment of your big league career?
AS: "I was lucky enough to play with some amazing teammates, have some great coaches and be apart of great moments. I'm not sure really. Opening day starter in Boston, 2 All Star games, 7 playoff teams, a World Series winner, 116 win season were all very special. I saw John Valentine turn an unassisted triple play, saw Andre Dawson get his 400th home run, Troy Percival get his 300th save, Tom Glavine get his 300th win, played with Mo Vaughn, Pudge Rodriguez and Ichiro Suzuki during their MVP years and so many other milestones for teammates."
JM: Ultimately, how would you categorize your experience in the game?
AS: "It's been the most amazing time anyone could ever dream of and continues to be."

Ive brewed a couple kits from brewmasters select and I've been about a gallon low each time although I'm right at my OG. Do you think the recipe's are wrong or am I doing something wrong?
I'm not familiar with those kits, but are they partial boils, i.e. you add water after the boil? It's common for the OG to be off due to the top up water not mixing completely.

When souls are exchanged for currency, horrible events that bring religion and our place in the universe into question usually follow.
Bart Simpson sold his own inner spiritual core to Milhouse for $5 to disprove the existence of the human soul. Even that fictional transaction was a moral mistake, because Bart soon felt spiritually detached and was shunned by automatic doors, all because a piece of paper with the words "Bart Simpson's soul" wasn't in his possession.
Brandon Jacobs has learned from Bart's teachings, and he refuses to sell his soul to anyone for anything, not even a chance to play football and underachieve again for the defending champions.
Jacobs is set to enter the final season of a four-year deal signed in 2009 worth $25 million. The Giants are asking him to take a significant pay cut, which is what happens when an employee is dramatically under producing, and the employer is restricted by a rigid salary cap. Jacobs averaged a woeful 40.8 rushing yards per game and 3.8 yards per carry, and when Ahmad Bradshaw is healthy he's limited to being a change-of-pace pounder and goal-line presence. He had less than 25 rushing yards in six games this year, including the playoffs.
Add all that up and throw in Jacobs' rocking chair running back status when he turns 30 in June, and it's easy to understand why a franchise that's reportedly up to $9 million over the cap doesn't want to invest heavily in their backup running back.
Jacobs spoke to WNBC-TV in New York on Wednesday and said he understands that equation and he's willing to reach a compromise, but only if the number on his paycheck still remains reasonable. (via Ralph Vacchiano)
"I want to stay in New York a whole lot, man, because this is where I started," Jacobs said. "It's a great organization. I got wonderful, great teammates. I won a second Super Bowl here with this organization. But I'm not willing to sell my soul, you know? It's a great organization and I want to be a part of it, but if not, if they're not feeling the same way, then so be it."
After restructuring his contract back in August, Jacobs has already seen his value shrink dramatically. He took a $1.75 million pay cut, and he's slated to make $4.4 million in 2012, a number that's far too steep for a running back who started only six games this year.
He's fine with taking a pay cut, but Jacobs also told WNBC-TV that it would "have to make a whole lot of sense." With Bradshaw five years younger and signed through his prime years until he's 28, there are only two options that make sense for the Giants.
Jacobs will either agree to a restructured deal worth roughly half of what he's scheduled to make next year, or he'll find another place of employment.

Short of brushing down every piece of clothing DD owns with a lint brush b4 putting it in the wash, how do I keep her hair from sticking to everybody else's clothes? I end up with hairballs in the washer and still have stuff coming out of the dryer with hair on them - DH is tired of having to pick it off his shirts and chinos!
We also have trouble with hair on the floor - carpets are OK, I don't have problem vacuuming it up (unlike my sister's hair, DD's is fine so never noticed it winding around roller brush, or my toes - and cutting off circulation!) But the tile and HW floors always have dust bunnies of hair around the baseboards - have to swiffer all the time. We even got a hairball stuck in wet paint low on the wall after painter came to touch up moving dings - now I have to skim and sand, repaint that area. DD just sheds like crazy! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I would like to know the same thing except for cat hair. After I wash and dry my sheets there are still little clumps of fur on it. PS: When my DD sheds too much I know it is time for haircut. Even just a trim will help. |
She just had a trim - hair is just to her shoulder blades now. DH keeps asking her if she wants her summer buzz cut when DS gets his! |

I used to be a dog groomer so lots of hair came home with me. I always give clothes a gentle shake before tossing them in the wash. Make sure the lint trap in the dryer is cleaned after each load. Toss in a microfiber cloth (I use the dishtowel size) and this will help trap any loose lint/strings/hair that are still on the clothes. |
Do you wash the microfiner cloth with the clothes or just throw it in the dryer (afraid it will burn if it's dry - I always air-dry them after washing b/c I'm afraid they'll shrink)? Thanks. |
- Posted by groomingal (My Page) on Sun, Apr 5, 09 at 15:19
I just toss mine in the dryer but I have run with the wash before. I don't worry about them shrinking. I buy the cheap dishtowel kind and cut them in 1/4. |

We learned of the microfiber suggestion on this forum and have used it in our dryer several times so far. It really works well. Haven't used it in the washer, though. |
I always use the loopy side of Velcro to remove hair from my tub drain, so....when I made the mistake of drying my cat bed in the dryer, I used the self adhesive Velcro (loopy side) to cover an old medicine bottle. I tossed the medicine bottle into the dryer and ran it for a short while. It did grab much of the cat hair, but not all. |
I use a combination of things in my clothes dryer-I use one dryer sheet (any brand) plus "dryer balls", They are 2 plastic balls, like tennis balls but covered with points. They make noise bouncing in the dryer but keep the lint down. I had a huge lint problem when I accidentally washed a load of laundry with one of my husband's used Depends .(Luckily it was wet not soiled0 Tiny white paper balls ended up on everything. I found the dryer balls in a local hardware store. Plus I and my 2 daughters all have longish hair, plus one dog and 2 cats to add to the mix. Good luck finding a solution! |
I also read online that re-washing an item with vinegar added to the washer will help. You might want to try adding a little vin. to your laundry. |

Obama in Good Shape for 2012

Ice Coast, baby!

The 20/20 rating on these pants holds true. I considered going the Goretex route, but I've taken these out in freezing rain and mixed conditions, spent long days off-piste, and nothing gets through these suckers. Even after full days of sitting to strap in on spring (i.e. wet) snow, there's no swamp arse. The pants fit true to size, and have a comfortable, loose fit. The emo kids won't let you into their group, but neither will the sag hags. The vents are great to get some air, as the pants keep me extremely warm with only a baselayer underneath. The key feature on these pants for me is the ziptech jacket to pant interface --- on the rare East Coast powder day, it saved me from getting snow in my pants even after EPIC wipeout landings when my board skipped out from under me, and I dragged ass for what seemed like a mile ;) In that sense, I can also speak to the durability of the material... no shredding or wearing as of yet on the seat area. As I said in my jacket review, I'm surprised that only 1 other outerwear brand uses a powderskirt zipper because it works so well. Other neat features... a glove pocket that's not fully enclosed so they can air out, ghetto slits so that it doesn't look like you're rockin' the 80's tapered jeans look (unless you wanna go retro), and a small metal lift ticket ring for those days you're not visiting your home mountain. Again, this is my 1st time in Volcom outerwear, and I like what I've seen. I highly recommend this stuff...

This was my 1st venture into Volcom outerwear, and I have to say I'm now a big fan. First things first... the jacket fits true to size. In the past, I've always bought size large in everything to run things a little baggy, but I ended up buying a size medium here (in addition to the Bjorn pants). The jacket is loose fitting, but not "thug" baggy. I considered going the Goretex route, but I've taken this 20/20 jacket out in freezing rain and mixed conditions, and it is bombproof. I like to layer up accordingly, and it keeps me dry in all kinds of temps --- it vents extremely well. On the rare East Coast powder day, the ziptech jacket to pant interface saved me from getting snow on my bum, and in my pants. I'm surprised that only 1 other outerwear brand uses a powderskirt zipper because it works so well. Other nice touches... the ghetto gloves (or wrist gaiters) are great, especially for those times when you *need* to take off your gloves to adjust something... the hidden pass pocket that allows you to pull your ID out to get scanned... and uber loads of pockets, including an easy access iPod/mp3 player slot. For me, this gear has become my benchmark.

Great, great, great board. I generally like park-oriented, all-mountain sticks (rode an 07 Agent all last year), but after I demoed the Anthem (and Design) at the beginning of this season, I couldnt help but pick it up it was SO stable at speed as I was gunning down the trails, and you could carve the living daylights out of it. The board cut through the crud and mush when the temps were a little warm, and when the ice coast lived up to its name, it held an edge like a champ. I always felt stable and centered --- even when I got a little stupid on my runs, the Anthem kept me planted, and I rarely caught an edge. Comparatively speaking, the stick seems to have a lot more pop, and feels significantly lighter than last years model. This is definitely a worthy choice!

I love straight white colorways, but they're difficult to find. This beanie has a clean look, and the fleece ear band lining really keeps the ears warm, while the non-fleece lined acrylic area allows the moisture to wick away and breathe. The beanie runs a tad bigger than most, so keep that in mind when ordering. Recommended.

First, the pros... these gloves look dope. The first day, I actually got a few compliments up on the hill from several shredders as we were all strapping in. When I capped the day off at the resort's watering hole, 1 bloke actually picked my gloves up off the bar, and asked where I got them, if he could try them on, etc. From a function standpoint, the Hoss has great flexibility and dexterity. Getting into my bindings, unzipping my pit vents, etc. was a breeze --- it didn't feel like I was wearing pillows on my hands.
The cons? After 1 hour of boarding, the graphics on the palm were peeling off... and not little bits here and there. Full "checkers" from the checkerboard pattern were literally falling off --- imagine putting a post-it note on a frozen plastic bottle of water, and you get the picture.
When I trekked up to a part of the resort where there was no lift, I carried my board all the way up. After a minute or so, my hands felt like they were on the verge of frostbite. It was as if I was holding snow in my bare hands. When I got home from the hill, I noticed that my gloves were holding a lot of water. The moisture didn't penetrate into the lining or anything, but they felt pretty heavy.
The long and short... great looking gloves, great "5 finger freedom", flimsy palm graphics, limited cold insulation, and expensive. I consider myself a huge Rome fan, but IMO, these just aren't worth the money.

Reviewed Almost-Famous Maple-Butter Blondies
Feb 12, 2011 in Food Network Community Toolbox on FoodNetwork.com
"These are VERY yummy! EXCEPT, I melted the butter before I mixed it with the brown sugar; I halved the recipe (since I was only making it for two people), and since it calls for 3 eggs, I put one egg and one egg yolk; also, I skipped the baking soda and baking powder to render a more dense, chewy blondie. I might've overcooked it by a few minutes..."

Summary: African art in transit is an absorbing account of the commodification and circulation of African objects in the international art market today. Based on extensive field research among art traders in Cote d'Ivoire, Christopher Steiner analyzes the role of the African middleman in linking those who produce and supply works of art in Africa with those who buy and collect so-called "primitive" art in Europe and America. Moving easily from ethnographic vignette ...show moreto social theory, Steiner provides a lucid interpretation which reveals not only a complex economic network with its own internal logic and rules, but also an elaborate process of transcultural valuation and exchange. By focusing directly on the intermediaries in the African art trade, he unveils a critical new perspective on how symbolic codes and economic values are produced and mediated in the context of shifting geographic and cultural domains. He calls into question conventional definitions of authenticity in African art, demonstrating how the categories "authentic" and "traditional" are continually negotiated and redefined by a plurality of market participants spread out across the globe. This book will appeal to anthropologists, art historians, and anyone interested in the production of value in the art world, the mediation of knowledge in transcultural exchange, the invention of traditional aesthetic forms, and the ethnography of trade and bargaining in a contemporary African setting. ...show less

Troy Cook will fulfill a lifelong dream while visiting his hometown of Eminence over the Thanksgiving holidays. Cook will take the stage at the Kentucky Center for the Arts' Whitney Hall singing in the opera, "Werther."
"I've always wanted to be on the Kentucky Center for the Arts stage," he said. "I guess you have to go away to New York and come back."
Cook has been relaxing at the Eminence home of his mother, Martha Cook for the past couple of weeks.

In more ways than one, Henry County High School may be a work in progress. While the school's physical structure is under construction, there's a movement within to improve the school's test scores.
Principal Jim Masters acknowledges there is still much work to be done, and said Monday that his staff is prepared for the task ahead.
Staff Writer/Photographer
When John Roberts had trouble using his hands the doctor said he suffered from carpal tunnel syndrome.
When his vision blurred, a detached retina was blamed. When Roberts, of Eminence, had difficulties with his balance doctors diagnosed an inner ear condition. The worst was when doctors said he'd had a stroke.
A 14-year oversight in a waste water treatment agreement will be corrected in 2009, as the City of Eminence will increase waste water treatment rates for the City of Pleasureville.
Pleasureville, however, has said it will not pass that rate increase along to its customers.
The agreement was signed in 1994 between the two cities, and initially was subject to review every two years. That review process fell through the cracks.
Executive Director, Henry County Chamber of Commerce
Often we overlook a good thing that is right under our noses. When we decide to have a meal away from home, we automatically think going out of county, but Henry County is blessed with many restaurants that serve wonderful food at reasonable prices.
Despite the sour economy, county employees will receive a cost of living raise next year.
The Henry County Fiscal Court voted last week to approve a four percent cost of living increase, but not merit increases.
Henry County Judge-Executive John Logan Brent said Monday that the four percent raise amounts to around 35-50 cents per hour, depending on each county employee's current hourly rate.
A 2008 Shelby County High School graduate is suing a former teacher and the staff of three Kentucky school districts, charging they were complicit in sexual harassment and wanton negligence.
In a lawsuit filed Nov. 6 in Shelby County Circuit Court, Elizabeth Reynolds, 18, has charged former teacher Scott Stumbo with "intentional and outrageous" conduct that has caused her to suffer "severe emotional distress."
This civil suit comes 10 months after Stumbo submitted an Alford plea to criminal charges of sexual harassment of a student.
Family-owned DJ's Towing Service in Campbellsburg has been open only six months, but it got a leg up from its predecessor, JR's Towing Service. New owners Steve and Jodie Judy took over the business from Jodie's father Junior Moore. "He owned the business for more than 20 years," Jodie Judy said.
DJ's has a trio of tow trucks at the ready 24/7. She said DJ's has contracts with AAA as well as four other roadside assistance companies.
The Eminence City Council and Eminence Independent Schools are prepared to enter into an agreement to continue services at the Eminence Community Center.
The council voted last week enter into a co-applicant agreement with the school district, but held action on a rental agreement for the center's operation.
EIS Superintendent Donald Aldridge told the council that if they approved applying for the grant, they would also need to approve an interlocal-style agreement with the school district.
In a dimly lit office a packet of information was handed over. Eminence Speaker's marketing director Chris Rose gave strict orders. "Do not under any circumstances let anyone know you have this list," he said.

...anyway. I got the job in Seattle # one of the best bike shops in the country, or at least the northwest. Anyway, I am going to be working full time in the GREENLAKE area of Seattle, which is, in my opinion, one of the coolest places to be in all of the Seattle area.

Top 50 CSS techniques Pt I
Part 1 of our Top 50 CSS techniques brings you 10 essentials tips and resources for creating perfect CSS
Part 1 of our Top 50 CSS techniques brings you 10 essentials tips and resources for creating perfect CSS. Discover how to create unordered lists, style text, control headers and more…
Unordered lists
Web designers have a couple of options when it comes to creating lists. There is the unordered list option or the ordered list option. Unordered lists create a list with bullet points and ordered lists use numbers, ie 1, 2, 3. To create a list, first add a set of opening and closing tags, ie

. Inside the tags, a set of list items tags,

, need to be added for each item in the list. To style the list, go to Text>CSS Styles>New, choose Tag from Selector Type and ul from the Tag drop-down list. Set the Margins to and click Apply and OK. Now head to the code and add list-style-type:none; to remove any bullets or numbers
ul {
margin: 0px;
Background images
Background images are an essential element in any web design process, and adding to the
body tag is a breeze. In Dreamweaver, create a new style (as in Tip 1), select the Background category and add an image. How it displays is determined by the repeat option. No-repeat gives a single instance, repeat-y repeats horizontally/vertically and repeat-x repeats horizontally/vertically. If a single instance of an image is used, this can be positioned anywhere within the tag, either body or a div tag. Use the default Horizontal and Vertical position options for quick positioning, or use specific measurements for more precise positioning.
Text styling
Text styling is one of the most common uses for CSS, and is guaranteed to be found in
almost every style sheet on the web. Create a new class, give it a name, choose a font, choose a style, choose a colour and it's good to go. Repeat this process for all the text in a page. Make sure to plan ahead and try to decide exactly what font styling is needed throughout a site. Be sure to choose a font found as default in the different operating systems, ie Georgia, Verdana, Arial, to avoid fonts being substituted.
Cross-browser tooltips
Alt tags are used to replace images with a text description should the image be unavailable. Internet Explorer also uses the text in an Alt tag as an image tooltip. however, other browsers, ie Firefox, adhere more closely to standards and use the Alt tag for its intended purpose only. To ensure cross-browser tooltip compatibility, the title tag needs to be put into place alongside any Alt tags. Simply add immediately after the Alt tag, eg, title="This is the text to be displayed"
Personalise hyperlinks
In Dreamweaver, go to Modify>PageProperties>Links to add the desired font, size and determine colours for the different states. Finally, select an underline style, ie Show underline only on rollover. This will apply to all links across a whole site. To style links to a specific element, ie div tag, a pseudo class needs to be created. For example, if the
div tag is named #news, then add #news a:link {color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none;}.This determines the colour and style of links in the #news tag. Add #news
a:visited, #news a:hover, #news a:active to determine different states.
Hot headers
To control the output of header tags, CSS can be used to determine the style for each tag.
The h1 tag should have the largest font size, with sizes decreasing for each header, ie h2, h3, h4. The simplest option is to determine the font size as follows: h1 { font-size: 25px; }, h2 { font-size: 22px; }etc. For further styling, add font: Georgia; font-weight: bold; for a bold header using the Georgia font. If all headers use the same font, group together as follows:
h1, h2, h3, h4 {font: Georgia;}
h1 {font-size: 25px; font-weight: bold;}
h2 { font-size: 22px;}
h3 { font-size: 20px;}
h4 { font-size: 18px;}
Straight to CSS
By default, Dreamweaver adds the 'Layout CSS' of a new document to the head of the
page. This means that the CSS is only relevant to the current page and will need to be placed inside a CSS file at a later on. To eliminate these steps, select Create New File from the Layout CSS drop-down list. Any new styles will be automatically added to the new style sheet. Alternatively, select Link to Existing File, click the Attach Style Sheet icon and add an existing style sheet.
CSS Play
Describing itself as "Experiments with cascading style sheets", CSS Play should probably be best loved for the Demos section. Here, you'll find a cavalcade of links to little design ideas that can be easily exposed by viewing the page source and studying the code. If you've ever wanted to achieve simple animations, photo galleries, puzzle games and various other CSS-powered ideas, then this is the place to find out how they are achieved.
Managing borders
Adding a border to a div tag will increase the width/height of the associated tag. If a one pixel border is used, this increases the height and width of a tag by two pixels in either direction. This can affect the page layout, so the size of the tag needs to be adjusted accordingly to ensure that the tag remains at its original size. Eg, if the original tag is 100 pixels wide by 50 pixels high, adding a two-pixel border will make the tag 104 x 54. Resize the tag to 96 x 46 to keep the original size.
Shorthand CSS
Standard CSS brings with it some plenty of plus points, including quick, site-wide
updates and lightweight code. However, using shorthand CSS tweaks and tunes standard CSS even further. Using CSS shorthand, the following code – #header {background-color: #FFFFFF; backgroundimage: url(background.gif);background-repeat: norepeat;}
– can be shortened to the: #header {background: #FFF url(background.gif) no-repeat;}

Hi All,
I'm a new member but have spent several years scouring these forums for ideas and advice for past renovations. It's my "go to" site when I have a question about paint color, technique or want to see inspriation photos. Presently, we're redoing a bathroom and are trying to make some final decisions on our vanity top. We are installing a honed carrara marble basketweave with a green dot for the floor. The green is called Verde Laguna and the color ranges from a dark to a medium gray green in the sample we had. We can't decide if we should go with a granite vanity top that has some green it is or maybe a darker gray? The only thing we can agree on is that it needs to be a granite. (teenaged daughter - 'nuff said) ;) Would love to hear what you think. Any of you use granite top with a marble floor? Which granites work well? Should we go green-ish, gray-ish, black-ish? Up until now the choices have been easy. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer... |
Follow-Up Postings:
I think we need more of a vision of your room. Can you post a photo of your bathroom vanity and a sample of the flooring? What are your other proposed colors for the room? Is it a painted cabinet or stained/natural wood and what colors? What is the style you're aiming for? If it's for a teenage daughter, what is the likely wall color? How much tile will you use on the walls? Below is the link on how to post pictures. The GardenWeb person who wrote it asks that no one post on that strand. |

My interior designer selected mother of pearl quartzite to go with my Carrara floors. Not in yet but it's lovely - a greenish gray. |
I'm using White River granite for a bathroom remodel. It's a lighter granite that complements the pale green mosaic tile we're using the shower. You can see pictures of the White River in this thread: White River granite |
I just remodeled my bathroom and used calacatta gold. Although it's predominantly grey in veining and very white compared to carrara, the veining has a lot of dark brown at times, which gave me a little more options. I spent forever trying to find a granite or quartzite to match. I finally came across antique brown in a leathered finish, which was awesome, but I had to scour the metropolitan area to find it in 2 cm. If you'd like to see that contrast/option, see below. |

@colorfast, the vanity will be shaker style cabinetry, custom made. The lighting and fixtures are brushed nickel. it's a rather small bathroom (4'4" x 7'4") in a traditional Cape Cod home from the early 1960s. We like BM Gray Owl for the walls. The only wall tile is the white subway in the tub surround. My concerns about cosmetics etching a marble countertop has me looking at other options. |
@dvarnell, i'm glad to see that i'm not the first to want to pair carrara marble with another stone. would love to see photos once your mother of pearl quartzite is installed - it sounds lovely! |

We also are using mother of pearl quartzite on counters. We have calacatta porcelain on floor and walls of two bathrooms for precisely the same reasons as you. |

Made possible by Pepsi. Are you #FanEnough?
Wide receivers are not created and groomed to be one thing. Some have skills that are more widespread, while others excel and thrive in a certain area. Neither approach is incorrect, but for those who watch, analyze, and discuss football, the end result gives us arguably the offensive position that has the most varied skill set.
If we were to make an attempt to simplify this, there's often the pure speed burner (think Victor Cruz, or going further back, Randy Moss in his prime), the hulking physical brute who will beat you up over the middle (Anquan Boldin), and the shifty slot pest (Wes Welker).
But then what complicates matters — at least for defensive coordinators — are the hybrids. The rare and uniquely constructed Calvin Johnsons who do all of those things at a high level: the blazing, the battling, and the elusiveness.
Demaryius Thomas is one of those receivers.
He isn't Johnson, because no one is. But Thomas' build is similar (he's listed at 6'3″ while weighing 229 pounds, and Johnson is 6'5″, 236 pounds), and so are his main attributes. Like Johnson, Thomas is surprisingly fast for a man of his girth, and in a preseason interview with the Denver Post he proudly noted that even when he was nearly 10 pounds heavier, he still ran the 40-yard dash in 4.38 seconds.
That's an unofficial time, of course, because Thomas wasn't able to participate in the major event at the NFL's yearly underwear Olympics because of an injury (a broken foot). But a man's word is his bond, and believing Thomas is easy to do after watching him. If he speaks the truth, here's some perspective on Thomas' 40-time even at a heavier build: this past spring Tavon Austin was — quite rightly — heralded as lightning in human form, and we saw that on display for the first time in a meaningful game last week. Austin's 40 time? He ran a 4.34 at the Combine, meaning a receiver who's much lighter than Thomas (Austin weighs 179 pounds) is only four hundredths of a second faster.
That makes me believe science is broken.
What that's translated to now under Peyton Manning in Denver over the past two seasons is a receiver who's ideally suited for an aging quarterback who can still throw the deep ball, but with his arm strength declining, short-to-intermediate routes are the more effective chosen weapon. The resulting chemistry has led to this: the often utilized Thomas wide receiver screen that sends fear across the land.
That was one of Thomas' two receptions for 70 yards or more this year, and of the 78 yards above, 75 of them came after the catch, which is how Thomas has combined with his running mates Wes Welker and Eric Decker to form the engine of of a Broncos passing attack that's on pace to break multiple single-season records. That includes total passing yards (current pace for 5,715 yards, and the record is 5,476), and passing touchdowns (current pace for 54, and the record is 50).
Thomas' primary contribution has been one of speed after the catch. That can readily be seen both above, and during his 70-yard reception Sunday night, two entirely different examples where breakaway speed is showcased. In the first example from back in Week 1 the result was solely of Thomas' creation after the catch as he found the seam and went untouched. The second from Sunday began when Thomas straight out beat Marcus Cooper by being the far faster man, and then he added about 30 yards while flying straight through the catch and out-running tackles. It was quite Megatron-like.
It's that speed — that post-catch, play-extending speed which is tailored perfectly for Manning because it can be used in a variety of ways — that gives him a unique blend of athleticism and physicality for his size, and it's put Thomas atop a distinguished group thus far in the 2013 season.
With 436 yards, Thomas is currently the leader in yards after the catch, and he's ahead of running backs like LeSean McCoy, Darren Sproles, and Jamaal Charles who pretty much only get yards after the catch when they're recording any receiving yards whatsoever. Charles even has more yards after the catch (390) than he has total yards (383). Thomas' YAC is nearly half of his overall receiving yardage (47.7 percent, and Thomas has 914 total yards with nine touchdowns at a career-high pace of 91.4 yards per game).
To put that into a larger context, Thomas' after the catch chugging puts him ahead — albeit narrowly — of Pierre Garcon using the same metric, who's used similarly in Washington. He's also on Garcon's level with a larger and more meaningful percentage, as Garcon's YAC comprises 15 percent of his team's passing yards, while Thomas is just behind at 12 percent.
Perhaps Broncos safety Rahim Moore, who shadows Thomas often in practice, best describes how the former Georgia Tech standout has reached those numbers:
"He's a big guy. The thing is, he can run past you too; he has 4.3 (speed). He can body you. He has a Shannon Sharpe body with Calvin Johnson speed. Great hands too. Strong at the point. You can have great coverage on D.T., but if he catches the ball and you try to swat-hook it or you try to bat it out, his forearms are so strong he just reels that ball in."
Turns out Thomas is a pretty self-aware guy too:
"If I get him in a certain position, I know [a defensive back] can't come through my body because I'm so big and heavy. Then the quarterback places the ball where only you can get the ball. So, sometimes if I have a go route, and I just don't beat him deep, I might have him on my inside hip. If he tries to come through my body, it's hard because I'm big and he can't break it up most of the time. I'm just going to shed him off. It's hard to knock a big guy off."
Yes it is, Demaryius. It certainly is.
If you support the Denver Broncos, Peyton Manning and Demaryius Thomas have made it very easy for you to be #FanEnough this season. Check out the #FanEnough hashtag on Twitter, and let us know what your favorite team is doing to make you #FanEnough.

In the present, Diggle sutures up Oliver's gunshot wound, while Felicity fidgets as per usual. Diggle wants to know why she isn't more shocked after the whole "Oliver is Arrow reveal" (hey, I'm still shocked it was actually revealed to her!), and she explains that the signs have been there all along. After all, "I may be blonde, but I'm not that blonde," she says.
Back on the island, Oliver manages to sneak into the flight tower, but the guard easily gets the drop on him.
It's a tense moment, so tense in fact that Oliver's heart actually stops in the present, which prompts Diggle to grab a defibrillator to charge him back into action. "You didn't say 'clear,'" Felicity points out. Someone's been watching one too many episodes of Grey's Anatomy. When the defibrillator fails, Felicity re-works the wires, and thanks to her, Oliver's heart starts beating again. Romantic pun obviously intended.
In the flashback, Slade rescues Oliver yet again. After he takes down the flight tower controller, Slade gives Oliver a gun and heads back out to handle the rest of the guards. It's not long before Oliver realizes there's a phone in the flight tower, so he does the one thing he probably shouldn't do: He calls Laurel. As he listens to her voice he seems to be on the brink of totally breaking down, and my heart kind of turns to mush. This may be my second-favorite Oliver-Laurel scene (their ice cream date earlier in the season is obviously #1). Just as Oliver is about to say something, Slade comes in and pulls the phone away. Slade warns Oliver that the calls could be monitored -- but he doesn't have much time to lecture him because the supply flight is on its way in. Of course, there's a catch. Isn't there always? The pilot won't land the flight unless Slade is able to finish his challenge code, which starts with: "Of all creatures that breathe and move upon the earth..."
Slade is totally clueless, and honestly, so am I, but Oliver (yes, Oliver!), knows the answer. It's a line from The Odyssey, a.k.a. the only book Oliver paid attention to in college. I have a hard time believing Oliver paid attention to anything -- other than girls -- in college, but I'll let this one slide. Oliver tells Slade that the line they want to hear is, "Nothing is bred weaker than man." It works. Turns out Ollie isn't so useless after all. He tells Slade that The Odyssey is all about a guy who is trying to get home. Fitting, no?
Slade assures Oliver that they'll be off the island soon, though before they go he has one more thing to cross off his list. Slade wants to call an airstrike on the island so he can destroy Edward and his men. Oliver isn't exactly on board with that idea, though. He refuses to leave Yao Fei to die, so he decides to be selfless for once in his life and try to rescue his friend. Slade lets him know that the plane leaves in three hours — with or without Oliver.
NEXT: Oliver faces Deathstroke...

Australia rediscovers its urban indigenous heart
But in addition to Aboriginal history, Sydney is also emphasising the present and future of its indigenous inhabitants. A chunky booklet called Barani Barrabugu (Yesterday Tomorrow): Sydney's Aboriginal Journey aims to stimulate independent exploration. It maps out and tells the story behind numerous sites of Aboriginal significance across Sydney, such as the now-covered over Tank Stream, a hugely important fresh water source. Some sights hark back to before European settlement in 1788, but the vast majority are tied to arts, education and the fight for indigenous rights. This includes Martin Place, where annual protest Aborigines Day protest events took place from 1938 to 1955.
The sites marked on the Barani Barrabugu map form a trail, which passes through some of Sydney's less heralded suburbs, including Redfern. It marks the Oval, the stadium where Aboriginal rugby league teams battle it out annually for the Koori Cup. There are also community centres and schools which mostly cater for Redfern's large indigenous population. Numerous buildings are adorned with murals and a sun on a red and black background -- the markings of the Aboriginal flag.
This is not the expected world of bush tucker and dot paintings. It is Aboriginal Australia in a contemporary, urban setting -- and there are more than just Dreamtime stories to tell.

I am looking to buy Au Gratin Pans for cooking Potatoes, Meats etc. I have looked at everything from All Clad to Falk Copper and can't decide. Anyone have a recommendation on whether to purchase SS lined Copper, or SS or cast iron (staub) or le creuset, or emile henry. You can probably see why I am in need of help!!
Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
All-Clad stainless, Copper is going to be more energy efficient than stainless. If you are looking for something scratch-resistant, you may want to try All-Clad LTD. It has a black, hard-anodized aluminum exterior that will not get scratched. MetroKitchen.com has LTD, Copper and Stainless Au Gratins with good information on each. Hope this is helpful to you. |
Here is a link that might be useful: MetroKitchen.com/all-clad
Connie, Is the pan going from the oven or broiler to the tabletop? If so, then splurge and get something that looks great! But if you're just looking for a shallow roasting/gratinee pan, almost anything will do - ceramic, iron, aluminum, you name it. Once it's in the oven or under the broiler, heat transfer efficiency is not a concern -- it's surrounded by heat or directly under it. |
