I've been cutting at 3" this year, but it looks pretty shaggy when compared to 2.5" which I prefer. Should I keep it 3" or will 2.5" be fine without any bad effects?
here's a pic @ 2.5" in the back: http://i52.tinypic.com/kd0rjc.jpg |

Ok, we need the @3" photo for comparison. |
If you like 2.5, then cut it at 2.5. All of the cool season grasses can handle that height. Keep in mind that your watering requirements might increase a bit, and you might have to mow more frequently since you should remove less blade length at 2.5 than you can at 3 inches. It will also be a little less drought tolerant, and heat stress tolerant. You might want to raise it to 3 in the hottest part of the summer, although if you have tall fescue, mowing lower will give you a thicker, less clumpy lawn, and will reduce the incidence of brown patch: http://buckeyeturf.osu.edu/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1191&catid=1:latest-news&Itemid=170 |

The 2.5" height looks good. Have you had your mower blade sharpened and balanced recently? |
Yeah just sharpened the blade, I mow twice a week either way... i'll try 3 again and see how it looks |

Where do you live? Switching from a low mowing height to a higher one takes weeks to see the benefit. It will look shaggy until all the grass blades have grown up to the new height. Then you can start to reap the benefits of the higher mowing height. If you live in the north and have fescue, then I would tend toward a 4-inch mowing height rather than something in the middle. With all that shade it doesn't look like anything else would do that well. Have you considered landscaping so it does not look so austere? |
i'm in west michigan, assume it's KGB mix? I water 1" a week when it gets hot, otherwise we've gotten a ridiculous amount of rain so far this year. I use scott's 4 step program currently. That's the back yard, not going to do any more landscaping here |

KBG can be mowed in the mid range you are talking about. If you like 2.5 better than 2.85123912, then go for it ;-) My eyes roll back into my head when I see decimal points in mowing height recommendations. |
- Posted by nearandwest 7 (My Page) on Thu, Jun 2, 11 at 10:34
@dchall: I completely understand and agree what you are saying about the decimal point measurement in home lawn heights of cut, but allow me to vent for a moment if I may. I am semi-irritated at the moment. In the golf course industry, putting green speeds are a basis for comparison. The difference between 0.125 (1/8") and 0.156 (5/32") heights of cut on golf course putting greens is significant in terms of ball roll speed. The often-abused stimpmeter provides data results that allow individuals to compare apples and oranges in terms of putting green speeds at different courses in a local area. Turf health is never given any consideration in the equation. Many excellent golf course superintendents have lost their jobs and ended their careers because of these slight incremental differences in mowing height. Thank you for allowing me to vent. I feel better now. |
Your lawn looks excellent to me. I used to keep aquariums, and I have noticed similarities between aquarium experts and lawn experts. Everyone has the magic equation for the perfect aquarium/lawn/insert specialty here. Biology is never an exact science though. What works for someone else (3") may not work for you. Maybe 2.5" is find for you. If you have found the equation that gives you a lawn this lovely, I think you should stick with it, and not worry about what the "rule" is. |
- Posted by dchall_san_antonio 8 San Antonio (My Page) on Thu, Jun 2, 11 at 22:01
nearandwest, I think we are in full agreement on putting greens. Professional grass growers, including the golf industry, pasture managers, sports industry, etc. have much different issues than the home owner. We are likely fairly close to agreement on home lawn heights, too. |

HI all, I purchased a pussy willow tree a couple years ago, this is its 2nd spring and it has not produced any of the fuzzy catkins, now I have learned that the male produces them? when we bought the tree, it had them so I know this must be the male, my question is, do I need the female as well to produce the catkins? should I be pruning ony a certan time of year? thanks for any help! :) |
Follow-Up Postings:
Have you pruned it? If so you have possibly cut off the potential catkins. If you must prune do so as this year's catkins fade, or would have faded if there had been any. But it would be better not to prune at all if you have the space for a large bush. You do not need a female tree to produce catkins since they are flowers not fruit. |
thank you so much for the reply |
What they were talking about - unless they were way off - was that male willows tend to produce thicker, fluffier catkins than female willows. So it's not that the males only have the pussies, it's that the males have better ones than the females. As mentioned you want to cut back right after bloom, otherwise there isn't enough time for the re-growth to get far enough to set flower buds for the following bloom season. |
Knowing your zone or general geographic area would help. We had such a bizarre winter it produced a spring where things just sort of happened in an unusual sequence. My forsythia did not bloom this year, and I was waiting for it to signal me it was time to go gather some branches to force inside. I got to the pussy willow and found out it was already in heavy fuzzy bud and I almost missed it. I don't know how closely you were watching yours but sometimes if we get a warm spell after long cold spells, if you have a larger property, you can miss the show entirely in a matter of days. |

How to Be a Responsible Dog Owner
How to Be a Responsible Dog Owner
By Lisa King
Dog Ownership 101
Being a responsible dog owner starts before you even get a dog. Before visiting a shelter or calling a rescue, be certain that you have the time, energy and finances to properly care for a new pet. Here are a few rules to follow before the fact:
1. Don't get a dog for your children unless you are prepared to do 100 percent of his care, if not right away then when they move out of the house. This is the voice of experience speaking.
2. Do your research and choose a breed or mix whose activity level matches your own. If you're a couch potato, don't get a Border Collie. If you want to go running or biking with your dog, forget the Pug.
3. How much space do you have? A large dog will be miserable in a studio apartment, while a small lap dog will be quite comfortable.
4. Do you want to deal with all the training required for a puppy? Adopting an adult dog who's already housetrained puts you ahead of the game.
Now that you have an idea of the type of dog you'd like, go online and search local shelters for a dog who fits your requirements. If your heart is set on a purebred, these can sometimes be found at shelters. Breed-specific rescues are also good sources for purebred dogs. If you go to a breeder, do some research to ensure she's reputable. DO NOT buy a dog from a pet shop—these adorable puppies usually come from puppy mills, which keep breeding animals in deplorable conditions.
Dog Health Tips
Once you get your dog home, follow these 10 tips to ensure he has a long, happy and healthy life.
1. Take him in for regular vet checkups. Spay or neuter your dog if it hasn't already been done. Keep him current on shots, dewormer and flea and tick protection.
2. Give your dog plenty of exercise according to the needs of his breed or breeds.
3. Train your dog. Take him to a training class or train him yourself by consulting books, magazines and online resources. He should know basic commands such as "Come," "Leave It," "Sit" and "Lie Down." Keep him on a leash when not in a secure, fenced yard. Even a well-trained dog with a strong prey drive can be distracted by squirrels or other small animals and run into traffic.
4. Brush your dog regularly to prevent mats. The frequency of brushing depends on his coat type. Take him to a reliable groomer if he is a breed that needs more complicated grooming, such as a Poodle or a Maltese. Keep his nails clipped. If you're nervous about clipping them yourself, have your groomer or vet do the job.
5. Wash your dog regularly. Depending on the dog's coat and environment that can mean once a month, once every couple of weeks or even more often if he gets into something nasty. Use a high-quality natural shampoo. Don't wash him too often, though; too-frequent baths can cause dry, itchy skin.
6. Secure your dog in the car, either in a crate or with a harness that hooks onto the seatbelt. A dog who's loose in the car becomes a dangerous projectile in a crash. If he's in the front seat, or God forbid on the driver's lap, he can be killed if the airbags deploy.
7. Provide proper ID for your dog so he can be returned to you if lost. Attach a tag bearing his name and your phone number to his collar. For added safety, consider having your vet microchip him.
8. Feed him the best diet you can afford. Your options are many: kibble, canned, frozen raw and freshly made cooked. Find a food that makes you both happy. Keep dishes clean and always provide plenty of fresh water.
9. Be a good neighbor and pick up your dog's poop. Cleaning up after him even in your own yard is important to keep harmful bacteria out of groundwater.
10. Provide plenty of love and affection; it will be returned tenfold.

ABC Dog Training Students Lend A Helping Hand
Animal Behavior College Students lend a helping hand by donating their time and skills to help train the dogs at a local Los Angeles Animal Shelter. Best Friends Animal Society is located just north of Los Angeles in Mission Hills, CA.
The Best Friends Animal Society has over 250 dogs on site and enjoys having a close relationship with Dog Training facilities who can lend a helping hand. Best Friends Animal Society Manager, Mike Harmon said "Since we opened this facility last year, we've wanted to work with dog training schools as a way to have … a regular source of trainers."
Dog Trainers
One benefit to the students helping to train dogs at the Best Friends Animal Society is having a well established, proper facility to complete the 10 hours of volunteer time, for the Dog Training Certification Program.
Our friends at Best Friends are fantastic and we would like to extend a special thanks for opening the doors to our Dog Trainer Classroom Program Students, for what seems to be a win-win, for our students and the Best Friends facility.
Great job students! Thanks for going that extra step to make the visits during the semester, a wonderful experience for the dogs, and for Best Friends Animal Society.

Why Training a Cat Differs from Dog Training
Can Cats be Trained?
They sure can. Anyone who owns a cat knows that they are intelligent, inquisitive beings.
Most people associate obedience training with terms that include stay, heel, come, down etc. However, obedience training is only one type of training.
While that might seem obvious to some, it is at the core of every successful training program. Cats might find different things rewarding to them than dogs but that doesn't mean they can't be rewarded and can't learn. Instead of a scratch behind the ear or tossing a stick, both of which will send the typical Golden Retriever into bliss yet earn you a blank stare or contempt with many cats, try a catnip toy or a delectable treat.

Solar flares are giant explosions on the sun that send energy, light and high speed particles into space. These flares are often associated with solar magnetic storms known as coronal mass ejections (CMEs). The number of solar flares increases approximately every 11 years, and the sun is currently moving towards another solar maximum, likely in 2013. That means more flares will be coming, some small and some big enough to send their radiation all the way to Earth.
The biggest flares are known as "X-class flares" based on a classification system that divides solar flares according to their strength. The smallest ones are A-class (near background levels), followed by B, C, M and X. Similar to the Richter scale for earthquakes, each letter represents a 10-fold increase in energy output. So an X is ten times an M and 100 times a C. Within each letter class there is a finer scale from 1 to 9.

American photographer Mark Cohen was born in Pensylvania and most of his works are shot in the Scranton and Wilkes-Barre regions of the state. Mostly Cohen shoots street photography that is heavily reliant of his exceptional timing and subject choice. Sometimes his technique is described as 'intrusive' and Cohen kind of agrees: "They're not easy pictures. But I guess that's why they're mine." More at artnet.com.

Stephenson Bell have received full planning approval for their new £24.5m school design and masterplan for Chetham's School of Music in the heart of the City of Manchester, England. Chetham's is the largest school of its kind in the UK and forms a major part of the cultural scene in a city which has produced bands such as Oasis, the Bee Gees, The Smiths and Take That.
The 10,600 sq m school will comprise a new music teaching school, an academic school and a full orchestral auditorium over 8 habitable floors. Within the building will be a 400 seat concert hall, a 100 seat recital hall, 57 music reaching rooms and 65 practise rooms as well as 21 academic classrooms and a 200 sq m recording suite. The teaching and practice rooms require a high level of sound insulation and are in the majority box-in-box rooms.
The new building responds to a complex brief on a tight island site made sensitive by its adjacency to existing medieval buildings which house some parts of the school and the oldest public library in the world. The external envelope expresses the solidity of the construction and the building is conceived as a carved solid. The building form reflects the island nature of the site and expressive features such as the large cantilever to the upper floors reflect the line of the river irk which is culverted below this corner of the site. The new building will link to the existing buildings via a new bridge which will act as the main entrance for the pupils and staff, whilst the main public entrance is located to the other side of the foyer, adjacent to Victoria train station.
An Outreach Centre and Music Tech, department provide other publicly accessible spaces on the lower perimeter of the building, actively engaging with the local community.
Enabling works will start on site in September and the project is due for completion in mid 2011.

The awards have been developed by coach and education professionals of British Gymnastics (the UK National Governing body) and are widely used in gymnastic clubs, schools and leisure centres.
These awards are endorsed by the Association for the Physical Education (afPE) underpinning the teaching of gymnastics within the National Curriculum.
Once achieved you shall receive: Levels 8 -
We have created our own Badge Scheme called
GYM FIT that our members shall be able to work towards once the British Gymnastics (BG) Proficiency Badge Scheme has been completed.
These awards have been created by coaches at the club and have been designed and created as an extent ion to the BG scheme.
GFA Badges Schemes at Pegasus
We have found in the past that once a member had completed the club badge scheme there was no longer a goal to achieve. A change was needed and this is what we came up with.... We shall use the British Gymnastics Proficiency Award scheme and once this has been completed members shall move onto completing our own newly designed badge scheme called GYMFIT.
Please note: Previous members that have achieved Level 4, 3, 2, or 1 on the past badge scheme shall start directly with the new GYMFIT scheme. Those that are new members or have achieved Level 6, or 5 on the past badge scheme shall start with the BG Proficiency scheme.
We shall be starting with Badges throughout October

The European Central Bank is likely to refrain from any new stimulus package in coming months as it reviews lenders' balance sheets, according to two euro-area central-bank officials familiar with current policy discussions.
Mario Draghi is betting the banking system rather than the bond market is his best ally for now in the fight against deflation.
Ireland has been functioning thanks to rescue loans since 2010. The government has nationalized five banks and the country's budget deficit will exceed 8 percent of output this year, European Union forecasts show.
Mario Draghi is building a united front for the European Central Bank's next big push should the threat of deflation turn into reality.
The European Central Bank will restart its controversial government bond purchases rather than offer banks another round of unlimited three-year loans as the sovereign debt crisis worsens, a survey of economists shows.
Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy may be enjoying the European Central Bank's emergency funds too much for Mario Draghi's comfort.
Mario Draghi said the European Central Bank is ready to move deeper into uncharted territory in the fight against deflation, with policy makers debating what form of quantitative easing they might need to use.
Divorced and unemployed, Fran Lopez is back at home with his parents again.
Euro-area inflation cooled to the slowest in almost four years in October, moving further away from the European Central Bank's goal.
Bank of England policy maker Adam Posen's 11-month push for more stimulus is now shaping the debate among officials as they consider whether the U.K. needs more quantitative easing to fight the danger of Europe's crisis.
"Shortly after announcing a multi-facetedpackage of policy measures, it is not a surprise that the central bankis reluctantto do more at this point."

I create and dance feminist Flamenco. My choreography and direction excavates the truths that I have always felt and resonated with as a woman- strength, passion, and determination. Historically, these attributes have centered on the male dancers, musicians and singers in the flamenco tradition.
I have chosen to use the flamenco language to unleash the feminist truth and peel away at these limits. I draw upon my cultural experience (Bolivian-born, Spanish, Indian and American) and the lives of contemporary women to keep the art form relevant in the 21st Century. My work celebrates women as the protagonists of their own story and not just a form of seductress, sexual object or a love object. I challenge all the historical roles that have been placed on women in this art form, and uncover the ever present truths.

Rhode Island Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative
Beginning in 2009, Rhode Island juvenile justice stakeholders have engaged in a comprehensive and detailed review of the policies and practices that govern the operation of their system. This self-exploration has resulted in their joining in a partnership with the Annie E. Casey Foundations Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative (JDAI) to provide technical assistance to support their system transformation.
Since beginning the work, Rhode Island has realized significant achievements, among these have been: the formulation of a strong and active collaborative (Steering Committee); development of a Risk Assessment Instrument (RAI) to make detention admissions decisions more objective, and; engagement of systems stakeholders and community-based partners in the system transformation work.
The Rhode Island JDAI Steering Committee includes representatives of key system stakeholders, including RI Family Court, RI Department of Children, Youth and Families (DCYF), the Attorney Generals Office, the Public Defenders Office, the Providence Police Department, the Office of the Child Advocate, and other agencies and providers. Rhode Island KIDS COUNT serves as the coordinator of the Rhode Island JDAI.
Background on the Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative (JDAI)
Since 1992, the Annie E. Casey Foundations Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative (JDAI) has worked in jurisdictions across the U.S. to strengthen juvenile justice systems, make communities safer, help youth, and save tax dollars.
JDAI promotes system-wide reform by focusing on a variety of ways to safely reduce reliance on detention, which many consider to be the gateway to the juvenile justice systems "deep end." JDAI has shown that jurisdictions can safely reduce reliance on secure detention, and use those efforts to strengthen juvenile justice systems overall.
JDAI works because it engages multiple stakeholders, including judges, prosecutors, defense attorneys, probation officers, elected officials, and community representatives, in the search for more efficient and effective programs, policies, and practices that can reduce inappropriate detention, improve public safety, and save money.
JDAI efforts are under way in more than 100 jurisdictions in 25 states and the District of Columbia.

I'm STILL confused!!! No, seriously, the "great options" that come with an internet connection are causing me to barely stifle a yawn. No one told me either way about having or not having it connected to the internet, I was just wondering why when you don't need it. TOS, pish posh!! Who reads those? *burp*
Anyway, I appreciate the fact that so many of you like to weigh in on my rather pointless posts

How to delete file logged on as Root
The problem is I have to be logged in as root so I have been unable to do it from Konquerer. Also, I tried doing it from Konsole and log in as Super User but when I get into the directory with the file I use the rm command but it won't find the file. Any idea how I can delete this file. Also, would it cause any problems if I delete this file?

Execute ls command in that folder. Does it list 06mysql file?
I would suggest you to check linuxcommand.org too.It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

Letterman: Department of the Interior Sex Scandal Gets My Blood Racing
- Sarah Palin
The hot topic of conversation during last night's late night monologues? Drilling. David Letterman said, "Big scandal in Washington, D.C. Did you hear about this? It turns out now members of the Department of the Interior were having sex with oil company employees. I mean, nothing gets my blood racing like a Department of the Interior sex scandal." He then followed up with, "But how about that Department of Interior and a sex scandal? Well, you know, the Republicans were calling for more drilling." Meanwhile, Leno cracked, "Well here's a great scandal. Investigators said that members of the Bush administration who were in charge of overseeing billions of dollars and oil royalties received gifts and had illicit sex with oil company employees. You know, when the Republicans said 'drill everywhere,' I had no idea." Conan O'Brien shied away from the scandal, but still joked, "Sarah Palin's husband, Todd, has been given the secret service name 'driller.' When he hear about it, Bill Clinton said, 'Wait, they told me my code name was 'retired.'"Mixing fame and politics, Letterman tried, "Matt Damon says he believes that Sarah Palin would be a disaster in the White House. That's what Matt Damon says. Now, wait a minute—I think I'll wait to hear what Ben Affleck has to say." Leno focused four jokes on the O.J. Simpson trial. This one got the biggest laughs: "I just hope this doesn't turn out like the first O.J. trial. That was so divisive. Black people thought one thing, white people thought another thing, and Michael Jackson—he didn't know what to think." O'Brien bypassed Simpson, but wasn't afraid to poke fun of females celebrities, including Lindsay Lohan: "In a new interview Lindsay Lohan says she wants to marry her lesbian girlfriend by the end of the year. Then Lohan said, 'Or I might just get drunk and pass out.'"
Wrapping it up, Leno spewed out the dirtiest punch line: "And a former Verizon technician was accused of racking up almost a quarter of a million dollars in phone sex calls. This guy would tap into the lines of customers. He mad 45,000 minutes of worth of sex calls. See, there's a guy who could really use the hands-free device."

The Best Part of Me
Loveland Primary School (LPS) second-grade students in Patsy Schlesselman and Megan Little's classes were in the spotlight and on the mic, performing before fellow classmates and parents for Reader's Theater. The assignment was a first for this annual event: write about the best part of you.
"The second graders had just finished a larger writing unit on personal narratives," explained Little. "We had spent a substantial amount of time in class learning about focusing our writing on something small that we have experienced and developing good details around that small moment. The Best Part of Me project was a great culmination to the personal narrative. The students picked one part of themselves that was the most important and had to do the why behind what they chose."
"Some said hands, some legs, hair, arms… it was fantastic to hear directly from the students what their favorite feature was and why," said Schlesselman. "We took a picture of their favorite feature and while they were reading their stories, we displayed the photograph using a projector. It was so sweet!"
To add to the ambiance the teachers decorated the classroom to look like a real café, complete with candles, flowers and cloths on the tables, and cookies and beverages for all to enjoy.
"This piece was great practice put into action and the students really surprised us both on how reflective they could be about themselves," added Little. "We hope that they learned to dig deeper when giving good details in writing and that they learned about themselves too!"

Puerto Rico Islanders News Release - www.prislandersfc.com
Tuesday, February 23, 2010
BAYAMON, PR -- Puerto Rican defender Marco Velez re-signed with the Puerto Rico Islanders for 2010's USSF Division II Pro League, Caribbean Football Union (CFU) Championship and CONCACAF Champions League. In 2001, Velez became the first Puerto Rican to play in Major League Soccer, signing with Toronto FC. He had a great season as starting center back for the Reds and repeated in 2009 until August when we signed with the Islanders for the last couple of months of the USL First Division season. "I am very happy to be back home with my fans, this time for the entire season, representing my team, the Islanders," Velez said. "I always followed them and supported them while I was away. I am an Islander at heart and no one can take that from me. This year I will give it all to win the first championship for the Islanders." The Puerto Rico Islanders have come close to winning their first championship, losing the USL-1 2008 Championship and CFU Championship in their respective Finals, and reaching the CONCACAF Champions League semifinals. It is a great motivation for Velez and the Islanders to win the team's first championship in 2010. He feels committed to the development of soccer in Puerto Rico and will take a big part on this in 2010. "This year, as well as fighting for a championship, we have a goal to continue developing the sport of soccer in Puerto Rico. There are a lot of young kids in clubs with great capabilities and dreaming to become professional athletes. We will be working hand in hand with soccer clubs and Municipalities to help these kids follow their dream. They are who will be representing Puerto Rico internationally in a few years," said Vélez. The Islanders Board of Directors are also very excited about Marco Vélez's return to the team. "Marco was always an Islander. We are very happy to have him back, for his game and for the fans. He is the best soccer player we have in Puerto Rico and he guarantees great play all the time," said club vice president Isaac Nieves. Head coach Colin Clarke added, "We were very interested in Marco. It is always good to have a quality player when available. He brings experience and leadership to our team, which we missed the two years he was away." The Islanders will begin the 2010 USSF Division II Pro League on April 16th at Juan Ramón Loubriel Stadium against the 2009 USL First Division Champion Montreal Impact.

Just for fun we've added some polls to our site. What do you think? Cast your vote to see the current results.
Decisions - Newest
What is your favorite Old-World wine producing country?
I've attempted to list the top Old-World wine producing countries (by volume produced) in an order very coarsely following the migration of cultivating Vitis vinifera, the European Grapevine, some 6000 years ago. Don't put too much meaning into the specific order of the list or exclusions (some paths were parallel, some I guessed on the order, some regions produced wine before this migration, small producers were excluded as were those beyond about the 5th century or where I could not find production values/dates, in addition to those with significant gaps in production). In other words: just have fun with the poll! Choose any number of favorites between 1-3.

Move over Wall Street, the next wave of protests will focus on the rising corporate threat of ... art museums?
Yes, the Occupy Movement has a new target: art museums.
Led by a small crowd of artists and students -- including a nameless MoMA curator in a gorilla mask who wished for their identity to remain anonymous -- protesters are now focused on what they call the "temples of cultural elitism," New York's Museum of Modern Art and the New Museum of Contemporary Art.
Among the targets: MoMA's $25 admission fee and "pyramid scheme of the 1%." (They even joined the picket line at Sotheby's auction house.)
Watch out cultural elitism, the Occupy movement is on the case.

Clutch isn't dead. This year, the titans of clutch are Carlos Beltran, perennial postseason superhuman, and David Ortiz, the "inevitable" hero of Game 2 Sunday night in Boston.
By Beltran's standards, he isn't even hitting well this postseason. He owns an absurd .340/.448/.740 line in 41 career playoff games and is hitting just .231/.333/.538 in seven games this October. He has, however, had a pair of gigantic games already. In Game 3 of the NLDS, he supplied the game-tying home run off Mark Melancon in the eighth inning and a two-run single in the fifth inning to boot, but the club ended up losing the game in the eighth on a Pedro Alvarez single. Then, in the Cardinals' Game 1 NLCS victory over Los Anglees, he supplied the walk-off single against Kenley Jansen, part of a 2-for-6, 3 RBI day.
Ortiz, on the other hand, has been above and beyond this year. His home run to tie Game 2 was already his third, and he owns a ridiculous .300/.462/.800 line in six games thus far against a .284/.394/.542 career line in 72 postseason contests. The game-tying grand slam was his first and only hit of the ALCS thus far in seven at-bats, but his timing was impeccable.
As these postseason legends continue to ply their trade, the concept of clutch surges to the forefront again. It's an October tradition, baseball's rise of the Great Pumpkin (aside, of course, from Dan Johnson).
Beltran and Ortiz make it clear: clutch hitting exists, and we've seen more examples of it from them than any players still alive in the postseason. Arguments that "clutch doesn't exist" cannot come from anything but a misreading of the statistical findings of The Book and other studies of clutch hitting.
It's not that clutch doesn't exist, but our observations of clutch hitting are not nearly powerful enough to tell us who will continue to be clutch in the future. The anti-clutch argument should not be "Carlos Beltran is not and cannot be a clutch hitter," but "We don't know if Carlos Beltran will continue to be a great clutch hitter simply because we know he has a 1.188 OPS in 41 career playoff games."
Where I personally take issue is when clutch stops being discussed as an achievement and starts being discussed as a characteristic. Stuff like "Who is more clutch, Tom Brady or David Ortiz?" whether it's coming from a local newspaper or the Worldwide Leader.
To me, this problem seems like one specific to the "Embrace Debate" era of sports discussion, an era that tends to treat its sports stars like video game characters. The wrong idea is not that David Ortiz's clutch performance is mystifying and incredible, but that it is an inseparable part of him like the clutch scores next to Hakeem Olajuwon and Robert Horry's characters in NBA Jam: Tournament Edition:
Defining "clutch" as a characteristic player either inherently possesses or inherently lacks presents multiple problems. It allows players to be dismissed as somehow inferior for a poor performance in a tiny sample. It derails the discussion of sports achievement away from the athlete's work and dedication to a nebulous, abstract quality they may or may not have been born with and they cannot hope to change (see particularly Alex Rodriguez pre-Yankees World Series).
Defining clutch as an inherent quality means we shouldn't be surprised whenever Carlos Beltran gets another big hit, and that we shouldn't have been surprised when David Ortiz mashed the game-tying grand slam Sunday night against Joaquin Benoit. I reject that definition. Every time Beltran and Ortiz continue to pass these nigh impossible tests, the hardest tests baseball can present a player, it only adds to their amazing list of accomplishments against long odds. That, to me, is both more satisfying — and probably closer to the truth — than assuming each hit is another expression of some "clutch gene."
I think this is generally understood. Ortiz's plaque from Red Sox ownership declaring him "The Greatest Clutch Hitter in the History of the Boston Red Sox" is a celebration of accomplishments, not a declaration of Ortiz's inherent superiority. When Dustin Pedroia says "I've seen him do some pretty cool things. But that's pretty special," even he sounds surprised, a teammate who has been with Ortiz through all of his clutch moments.
David Ortiz had failed in six straight at-bats before he his grand slam Sunday night. He said he wasn't at his best. "I was trying to produce for the team when the opposition was pitching me very carefully. I was chasing a lot of bad pitches," he said after Game 2.
But this is precisely what makes his clutch performance so amazing, so awe-inspiring even after we've seen it so many times before. Even for guys like Ortiz, they never become easy. So go ahead, marvel at clutch performances. It's not just fun, it's important. But don't mistake clutch as some binary "either he is or he isn't" kind of construct. Clutch is about passing a test under exceedingly difficult odds, about snatching victory from the jaws of defeat, and that is something we should never expect, something we should never take for granted.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Gus!
Facts about Gus
- Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier
- Color: White
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Gus's Info...
I am housetrained, purebred, a special needs pet, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
This is a courtesy post. Gus was being boarded and his owner never came back. He decided he didn't want him because he is deaf. He is the sweetest dog has a lot of energy and a lot of love to give. He gets along well with kids and other animals of all kind. If you would like to adopt Gus please contact Eprille at email@example.com
Other Pets at Faith, Hope and Love Rescue, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Gus, a Titusville American Pit Bull Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Pit Bull Terrier for sale in Titusville, or seeking a American Pit Bull Terrier dog from a breeder in Titusville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Titusville already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Titusville breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even American Pit Bull Terrier breeders who help with American Pit Bull Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Titusville paves the way for another one to be saved.

For those of you late to the game – basically Left4Dead was a really great zombie killing experiment. It forced people to work as a team. The recent addition of Survivor mode was great. That being said – there isn't that much to the game. Now instead of announcing a DLC to add content they announced that they're going to ship a sequel. Which means the end of Left4Dead 1.
Currently there are 10,000 people who have pledged to no buy the sequel. Guess Valve found a great way to spending the good will they had accumulated.

The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola – founder of the Jesuits – are a collection of Christian meditations, prayers, and mental exercises that are meant to help reveal how Jesus is working in our daily life. In the exercises, St. Ignatius discusses the concept of "spiritual poverty" – which essentially means recognizing that everything we have – our abilities, our assets – is because God provided it; and committing to using all of it for the service of God and others.
In the words of Fr. Kevin O'Brien of the Society of Jesus, "Poverty of spirit is an emptying of self so that God can fill us with life and love."
Think of what a better, more just place this world would be if we all thought of ourselves and our possessions in that way. It is through this attitude that we obtain true freedom. In spiritual poverty we find a wealth beyond anything we can imagine.

I spent all of the afternoon digging and cleaning cannas,bananas,calla and taros,also potato vine. I let them dry out on the patio overnight,my luck we have a thunderstorm( no rain to speak of all summer). So I look out this morning and all is well,everything in its place but wet from rain. The sun is shining and the wind is picking up and the patio is drying fast so everything looks great. My plants should dry also. All of a sudden I pass the window and can't see the potato vine tubers,or the taro bulbs. What I do see is two grey squirrels munching away like there is no tomorrow. I wish my irishsetter was still with me...he'd get them. |

Yummy! How deeelicious. I bet that 's what they were saying to each other. I even like to munch on a freshly dug up sweet potato tuber myself. How can you blame the tree rats? Hmmm? Sorry, I couldn't resist. I truly feel for you. They have overpopulated North America. No more predators to keep them in check, other than moving cars. We caught 7 - 8 of them in our attic during the past month alone. Don't know how they got in. We thought all the vents had been covered with hardware cloth. I hate them! |
Yea, these fuzzy tailed varmits cause loads of havoc here too. The neighbors have a few Black Walnut trees and they scamper accross the yard to collect the nuts. It's kinda eerie when your working outside on a calm day and everything is quite as a mouse and you suddenly hear this loud... THUMP.. you look up and don't see anything and a few minutes later.. THACK.. now your thinking your going nutts and have to find out what that sound is. Around the yard you go and nothing in site, then it happens again.. THUMP.. and it's RIGHT behind you! Twirl around only to see a walnut rolling to a stop and look up to see another smack down with an even louder THACK. Another quick glance around to see if anyone saw you walking around the yard like a scared cat. Nope, all safe from the white coats today, back to the garden! Here's to keeping squirrels at bay! |

Ahhhh! Squirrels - a lot of them, even in the city. They're cute to watch, but I don't like them near me - the idea of one of them nibbling on my ankle gives me the creeps. I'm always afraid they're going to jump me. My cat, Skitter, puts 'em in their place. |

what is hardware cloth?? where can i get some?? |
Hardware cloth is a type of screen, sort of like window screen on steroids. The wires in the screen are much heavier than WS, and the holes are typically 1/4" or 1/2" square. It is also galvinized and rather stiff. Many gardners use it to sift compost. You should be able to find it at your local hardware store or lumber yard. It's been a long time since I've purchased any, so I don't recall the price. HTH Dan |

It's been a pretty frenetic and fun week for the Dark Knight so far, but why stop now? So far, we've heard a lot about BATMAN INC., the new ongoing series kicking off in November, from writer Grant Morrison. But what of artist Yanick Paquette?
Well, ask no more. Here's a peek at the first cover to BATMAN INC., and it's a stunner.
Back in the past, Booster Gold is mistaken for himself and embarks on an untold journey in space with Blue Beetle to obtain a rare and secret artifact. Needless to say, their mission goes horribly, horribly wrong…
Brought to you by writers Keith Giffen, J.M. DeMatteis and artist Chris Batista, BOOSTER GOLD #35 hits tomorrow.

We've seen a few stunning images of preview art from rising star Nic Klein. We've heard from Assistant Editor Chris Conroy. But what about the new co-writing team of Ivan Brandon and Brian Azzarello? Well, as promised, we touched base with both of them and managed to finagle a few more pieces of new art from their first issue. So, what say you, guys?
A few weeks back, we unveiled half of the new DETECTIVE COMICS creative team. Namely, that AMERICAN VAMPIRE writer Scott Snyder would be stepping into the writer's seat, handling both the main story and a Commissioner Gordon co-feature. And now we're ready to break the news about the artist that will be paired with Snyder on the book.
When we unveiled the full roster of BRUCE WAYNE: THE ROAD HOME books last month, the covers were kept under tight wraps. But we did reveal one thing – it'd be a connected image, featuring a number of the key characters that reside on the Bat-universe, by none other than SUPERMAN: EARTH ONE artist Shane Davis.
Writer Paul Levitz and artist Kevin Sharpe continue their exploration of Superboy's early adventures with the Legion of Super-Heroes as the Boy of Steel discovers the heavy burden that comes with being the kid destined to grow up to be Superman.
ADVENTURE COMICS #517 hits Wednesday.
[gallery link="file"]
It's safe to say that it's been a pretty news-intensive time for Superman and Wonder Woman. And the news coverage is still going strong. Case in point, NPR's wonderful feature on Superman's walk across America and Slate's spotlight on Wonder Woman's new costume.

I won't tell...I bet it's still the same and you could just keep your eyes open and not bring it out until you're sure it is.
if they charged $50 for the mug, i'd say go for it. but, for $11? is it really going to kill your budget that much to be honest? you're going to sell your morals and soul for $11?
So are those mugs really worth it though? How much does it usually cost to grab a soda? I guess there is always the option of grabbing a case of soda nearby...
It really depends on what you're drinking. A lot of people choose the mug option cuz they like their morning coffee every morning. If you have kids who like to drink a lot of coke, they're definatley worth it- especially if you plan to spend some time at your resort.

I have posted this somewhere before but when I was on my honeymoon in 2003 we bought our mugs because the sticker said they could be reused over and over year after year. I have read on here that some say that has changed, but the past 3 times we have been at the resort I haven't seen anything posted where we couldn't use re-use them.

On my last trip, we brought 2 Port Orleans mugs from the 25th Anniversary (they even had the logo on them, too...)
They let us use them...at Coronado Springs. I don't think anyone will care (unless the CM working there is in a really, REALLY bad mood...)
Por favor mantanganse alijado de las puertas.
I know Im sounding evil but what the CMs dont know cant hurt them or us LOL
Remember without Disneyland there would be no mr.toad FOREVER
for belle and her fight
Most of the time the CMs are just thinking "I don't care, I would do the same thing if it were me..."
You know for $200 or more a night that you might be paying for a room, what is $11 to the corporation. After all, it only cost them less than $1 to make and who know how much they make on the drinks. Buy them and use them.
However, the angel on my other shoulder says it isn't right to do that. It would be stealing and not following the rules.
you know how much i costs the average store to fill a 16 oz. soda? foam cup and all, using post mix is around $00.20. so go ahead drink, drink, drink till you explode.
FYI: Back in 99 Disney used to say that the mugs were good at any resort (regardless where you bought them) and also forever...so yes..Disney has definitely changed the rules in the past few years.
