More reviews by prettifulone91
I have tried literally every foundation for oily skin. Finally after spending money on expensive products that claim to help but clog up pores and irritate skin I came across this!!!! I am in absolute love with this !!!! It matches my skin perfectly...buff beige.. It controls oil and is semi matte. Matte face doesn't look natural so the semi matte looks nice and pretty. Feels light on my face. Stays on all day. I love it.
I generally liked this foundation. I have pretty oily skin and in the past couple years I've tried a bunch of different types of foundations (L'Oreal, Maybelline, Revlon, etc.) and most of them left my skin very oily and I needed a powder to mattify it. This foundation has definitely been my favorite because it indeed controls oil and sheen, although for best results and setting purposes, a powder is still a good idea. The only downside is the bottle, because I would prefer a pump.
I freakin love this foundation. The coverage is pretty good and it's SO NATURAL LOOKING. Blends right in and I wear classic ivory and the shades don't look matching but when applied on my face, it looks like I'm not even wearing anything. Covers imperfections without looking too cakey or fake. For an even naturaler look, I sometimes apply lotion (moisturizer) directly before applying this foundation and it blends so flawlessly. In the springtime I don't even wear concealer with it.
I got this foundation because I was attracted to the concept of "clean" foundation. I wear buff beige 525 with the accompanying powder and I actually appreciate this foundation a lot. (Side note, I use a foundation brush to apply the liquid.) It's light, matches my skin well, and covers my imperfections without looking cakey. It's pretty good quality for the price. I always use a primer when I want my makeup to last, so I can't make a fair judgment on how long it stays. I will agree with some of the other reviews in that the bottle could use improvement. It is difficult to get the right amount out of the bottle, and the shape makes it hard to drain all the makeup from the bottom. Overall, I find it natural-looking and inexpensive.
I have a very light complexion with a rare blemish but a friend recommended this due to such a light coverage.
I thought I was in luck since it was on sale for 4 dollars, but it was quite the opposite.
I have broken out in raised red blemishes, gross pimples, and grease!
My whole T Zone is destroyed and the red blemishes show up along my cheek and hairline, and it all STINGS!!
Horrible reaction, horrible product!!
I should have spent the 2 extra dollars on Maybelline!!
Covergirl is producing a product they claim keeps your skin "clean", so why is my face covered in horrific and painful pimples?!?
Returning this crap with a complaint!!!
More reviews by vanessa4thewin
First, I bought this in the wrong shade to start off with.. I have yellow undertones and probably a "beige" but I was inexperienced with make up back then so I bought the cheap and wrong product.. The packaging is horrible.. It's one of those screw caps that leaks out too much product.. Uncontrollable! The shade I got was ivory which was too light and had pink tones. The consistency: it's very watery, thin and runny so blending is not a problem. But the coverage is very sheer! I guess it is buildable. It will only even out your complexion and cover redness. It cannot cover your acne or scars. It sets matte on my skin and has a tiny bit of sheen. I like that.. It lasts quite a while.. I didnt need to reapply anything.The price was very cheap. Overall, I don't recommend this!
This foundation did not work for me. I broke out IMMEDIATELY in raised, red blotches on my face...and it burned! My face was irritated and red for days after.
In the midst of my allergic reaction, I also noticed that it is a very light foundation, almost as light as a tinted moisturizer. If you're looking for a full coverage foundation, this isn't it. Also, the range of shades isn't good for women of color. They don't have any deep toned shades in the range. Shame on Cover Girl!
Also, it is nearly impossible to pour out of the bottle. It is very thick, and I had to use a cotton swab to get it out.
I wouldn't have minded it being light coverage because I don't have a lot to cover; my skin is in pretty good shape. But, the bee sting reaction kind of overshadowed anything else!
Terrible on my skin. I tried the Covergirl Clean Makeup that wasn't "oil control," and it was fine. When I tried the oil control version, though, it caused dry spots and breakouts. It made me appear chalky, and didn't blend well at all. Coverage was terrible too. I have somewhat sensitive skin, but i usually don't have bad breakouts like what this caused.
Worst makeup ever!. I had a MAJOR alergic reaction to this! The old style was a lot better then I got the new fornula when i ran out of the old and it worked for a while then BAM woke up and my eyes were swollen shut and that was after i washed my makeup off
do yourself a favor and do noy buy this!
I bought the Classic Ivory shade because I have very fair skin. I find it a strange color; in the bottle very beige-y and on the skin it looks like I have a light suntan. I checked it against a different liquid makeup I have that is also ivory and the Cover Girl is a much darker shade. It is definitely not oil free. By mid day my oily skin was showing up greasy with this makup on. To call this a good makeup for oily skin is ridiculous. I applied it with a damp sponge which helps dilute it a bit. It's a pretty heavy foundation and needs to be thinned out unless you like a dense thick coverage. It went on smoothly without streaking. As to the glass bottle everyone complains about my guess is that glass is still the cheapest way of bottling it. I just shook it hard onto a damp sponge and the makeup came out ok. But I wouldn't take this bottle in my purse or travel in a suitcase. Then again, I don't plan to buy it again mainly because it's greasy and not for oily skin. Cover Girl is cheap; that's it's only really good point but I think I'll spend a bit more and get something better.

Arizona Cardinals
Ray Horton's focus is on being a defensive coordinator
When a team begins a season 4-0 and goes into its final game 5-10, rumors of changes are inevitable.
This is the situation the Arizona Cardinals are currently in, with both head coach Ken Whisenhunt and general manager Rod Graves on their respective hot seats.
On the other hand, Arizona's struggles have not done anything to hurt how people feel about Cardinals defensive coordinator Ray Horton, as he has become a hot commodity.
When looking at the statistics, Arizona's defense looks like it has been middle of the road. The Cardinals rank 12th in total yards allowed and 16th in points allowed.
They have forced the third most turnovers in the NFL, and Football Outsiders DVOA system, which accounts for numerous different factors which ultimately leads to a more accurate view of the overall performance of a defense, has the Cards ranked fifth. Those two numbers paint a much better picture of the unit that has been the one bright spot for the Redbirds this season.
With that success, Horton's name has been a popular one making the rounds as a possible head coaching candidate as "Black Monday" rapidly approaches.
"Today all I am trying to do is be the best defensive coordinator in the league," Horton said Friday before the Cardinals take on the San Francisco 49ers. "I didn't do it because we didn't accomplish our goals. The rest of that stuff takes care of itself and the teams that win more are rewarded that way."
Horton, who has been an assistant in the NFL for 18 years, has learned a lot over the course of that time in preparation of one day being an NFL head coach.
"You never know if you're going to get there," said Horton. "That's what you're pining for. If you prepare well and been raised, tutelaged, you should be ready."
When asked specifically about the situation in Arizona, Horton avoided the question.

Comments on Magic Mountain | Add Comment |
Show which comments —
Descent beta for routes in vicinity of Community Pillar: one 70 works perfectly on the raps, the first tree you see with slings at head height is an easy no-hands walkdown, head towards the Magic Triangle, don't bother with the rappel. The next tree is at the top of the Triangle gully proper, and is pretty short-50' or so off of small trees linked with a lot of cord and extended pretty far towards the lip. There's an interesting looking hole in the ledge not far down this rap-don't use this unless you brought 2 ropes. With a single, touch down beside the hole and walk climber's right to a slung boulder/nut anchor. A full rope rap puts you 25' above another tree, a solid scrub oak. I replaced the bleached slings on this one with a new dyneema. Another full length single rap leads to scrambling down the easternmost side of the gully to the final rap tree. On this rap, even with a 70, you'll come up 8 feet short. Aim slightly right to an easy varnished corner that is fine to downclimb at 5.3 or so. This lands you 20' from the base of Small Purchase. There are 2 other descents detailed in Larry's Red Rock Odyssey: the (2 ropes required) Edge of the Sun rap route, which places you pretty far from your packs and involves a bit of hiking to return to the route base. The last is down the Crabby Appleton gully, which I would only choose as a last resort, if my rope was destroyed. The gully itself is an interesting hike, but trying to get down the thing quickly and safely without having been up the thing beforehand would involve leaving gear and possibly some "creative" rappels. Rapping off slings buried under small cairns HAS happened to people up there, don't be that guy. |

Congratulations graduatesPosted Wednesday, May 25, 2011, at 9:12 AM
Congratulations to the Class of 2011.
This year's graduates have worked hard to achieve their success and they should receive the recognition for it. Many probably don't realize just how much they've accomplished. Not yet. With a sigh of relief, they think it is over. They're wrong. Graduation is not an end; it's a beginning. As much as they want to "get out on their own," they're actually leaving the period of greatest independence they will ever have. From this point on, responsibilities do nothing but grow. The amount of "fun" available will decrease. There won't be someone there to pick you up and push you anymore. Hopefully, you now have the skills to do that yourself. You are entering a world that will be constantly reinventing itself. You'll be required to constantly update and relearn. Hopefully, you'll have learned how to learn. We don't think you'll be found wanting. You've proven that when challenged, you can rise to the occasion and succeed. Believe it or not, you're ready. Congratulations, and good luck.

Jay Sekulow on Elk Grove Unified School District v. Newdow - Education Videos
1241 views
Jay Sekulow and the ACLJ filed an amicus brief with the United States Supreme Court on behalf of nearly 70 members of Congress and more than 260,000 Americans asking the high court to uphold the constitutionality of the Pledge of Allegiance and the phrase "One nation under God." In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court agreed with the argument made by Jay Sekulow and the ACLJ that Newdow did not have legal standing to file the suit. The high Court dismissed the case and removed the decision of the federal appeals court which ruled the Pledge was unconstitutional.

FPV Camera mounting.... Some thoughts and suggestions.
Here are some things to think about when mounting your FPV camera. Most people dont put much thought into camera position and just copy others that put the camera on the planes fuselage so that the airplanes nose and prop is blocking much of the bottom part of the video. Where do you look when flying FPV... Most of the time you look down at the ground, so it makes no sense whatsoever to block out exactly what you will be looking at most often.
Many people have the prop and nose of their plane visible in their camera just because that is the way they see it in full scale airplanes. Having a prop in front of you in GA planes sucks, its done out necessity, not because its something you want. Ever sit in an F-16, you can barely see the nose or the wings, its GREAT, same with a sailplane ! Ever see a predator UAV video, those guys dont have a nose blocking thier view either. Many people fly ultralights and hang gliders, to get rid of the prop, and the spam in a can feeling with limited visibility. The best flying is to fly like a bird, with nothing blocking your view, not like you are enclosed in a can, and looking at scale non-working instruments The best position for a camera on an RC plane is out on the wing, or in the nose of a pusher like an Easystar, far enough foward that the nose and wings never come into view. It will take most people about 5 minutes to realize that you dont need a nose constantly blocking your view to fly FPV. You just need to be open minded and and be able to accept new ideas. Here is something everyone should try.... Watch one of my videos full screen, ( they have no nose or any part of the plane visible ) Then cut out a peice of colored paper in the shape of the nose of an airplane, tape it to the bottom of your monitor so that it blocks about 1/2 of the bottom part of the screen, now you have see a planes nose in the video. Which one do you like better ? Which way gives you a better view of what you want to see, the video with the paper "nose" taped to the monitor blocking the ground ?? Or no paper ???? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hk9MoRBO1PA Real freedom of flight is flying like a bird, with nothing blocking your view. I have done it in both FPV and full scale, and nothing compares to it. Here are a couple of pictures of aircraft that give a truly amazing flight experience. |

here is my problem with the constitution
Altho I believe The Constitution should be restored for Public Sakes. There lies a flaw with regards to a government established by a system of Checks and Balances. Tyranny today is found within all Branches even in the Judicial Branch more importantly The Supreme Court. Lets be practical, even if Ron Paul were POTUS, every time he were sign a bill or an act into law (if it could get pass Legislative Branch in the first place). There is no doubt in my mind The Supreme Court would rule it "Unconstitutional" over and over again and The PEOPLE would Riot!
As far as im concerned The Constitution has created a monster out of Politicians and Corporate Lobbyist working together. History shows the smallest governments ALWAYS become the Largest. You can not "Contain" this Beast. hacking at its branches will only make it grow back faster. The only ensure way to protect people's freedoms is by abolishing it at its Roots and Eradicate the seed.
This Political Theory for a free-market anarchy is in no shape to take place today or even in 100 years for that matter. and so We ought support this noble cause to Restore the Constitution at all cost, even if it means risking our very lives not for ourselves but for generations to come. Telling those who do not understand that Will only hurt this cause.
"there's nothing fine and noble about dying in the mud unless you die gracefully. And then it's not only noble but brave."

Hundreds put feelings over Bolin case into words
Many said they cried when they wrote entries into the guestbook for Jamie Rose Bolin on NewsOK.com.
I cried when I read through their entries.
Debbie Moore of England had seen a photo of Jamie one day on the Internet, but didn't know why her picture was posted. However, since Jamie was the "spitting image of my own daughter," she saved the photo and told her daughter there was another little girl who looked just like her.
"It was later on that I found out why I had seen Jamie's photo and I cannot describe, in words, how that made me feel, it is like looking at my own daughter," she wrote just days ago. "I am so sorry for her father and send my deepest heart felt condolences to him."
Largest guestbook
How far has the hurt of this horrible tragedy reached? We don't have a definite answer. But the guestbook was at 135 pages within a few hours after Friday's guilty verdict against Kevin Ray Underwood.
In fact, Jamie's is the largest guestbook hosted by NewsOK.com. In addition to the entries from Oklahoma, the guestbook had been signed by people from 41 states and eight countries.
Her murder has touched people from Purcell, where she lived, to Brazil, Singapore, Kuwait and many other places.
While some comments are recent, others go back to April 2006, soon after the 10-year-old was found dead.
Who has signed? Parents, grandparents and the countless who hurt. Some people wrote an entry early on and then returned later just to let the family know they were still thinking of them and still mourning with and praying for them.
Some of those who have signed the book knew Jamie personally.
"Rose has forever left her smile in my mind," wrote De Anna Taylor of Purcell. "I remember each time she was in my computer class, she always had a smile, and something kind to say to each one."
Taylor wrote that she hoped to pass Jamie's smile on to others.
Her fifth-grade language arts teacher Lesley Jennings wrote: "Rose was a shy and quiet little girl, and a joy to have in class.

I need some help in starting a new dimensional model (star schema) for tracking organ donors. We have an OLTP database that contains a referrals table (terminology for deaths) with info such as (gender, race, age, date of death) and related lookup tables, e.g.,date,time, race, hospital, organ type, donated organ info, etc. Some of the referrals become organ donors. I understand that most of the lookup tables will become the dimension tables but wondering if I should have 2 fact tables - factReferralInfo and factOrganDonors or only 1 fact table to track everything. We may have queries such as 'total number of referrals', 'total kidney donors', etc.
After thinking about it, I guess I need a dimension dimReferral that has the attributes for each death referral. I think I am confused since I read that you should not have a dimension table the same scope as the fact table. Maybe in the fact table, I have a row for each organ donated, e.g., kidney, pancreas, lung, etc.

Very good
The room was very small and hot. Glad we only stayed for two nights.lack of storage......very disappointing
Location was good. Price for room & parking nearby were unbeatable!!
Bed wasn't very comfortable at all. The room was too hot & were unable to control the temperature.
The location is brilliant, walking distance to a lot of sightseeing places. The hotel is clean, the rooms comfortable, the staff are all so friendly and so helpful. Emmanuel was always there to give us tips on how to do it as a New Yorker and had us in stitches few times. We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel and would definitely stay there again. I would recommend it without hesitation.
Bed - very comfortable Bathrooms always clean Always quiet Free coffee!
Great location.. clean, confortable.. we stayed at the top floor and almost no nocie from the street.. Staff very friendly..
Good location! Pleasing personally staff!
Everything and Sure we will be back soon!
Excellent location within easy walking distance of plenty of attractions, and Grand Central station for whatever isn't nearby. The staff were fantastic - always helpful, always friendly. Room itself really comfortable (small, but it's NY so no surprises there) and reliable wifi. I had a room with shared bathroom - was there a week, never had to wait for the bathroom, and it was always immaculately clean. Highly recommend.
Only minor quibble was that it was a bit hot - very difficult to get right when it's snowing outside I realise but had to put the aircon on to cool the room down a couple of times.
staff so helpful and knowledgable, great location. all in all a great stay
The staff was very professional and friendly. They made it seem as though I was in a five star hotel. The location is amazing and the room was a lot more than one would expect for such a reasonable price.
There was nothing I didn't like.
Clean & tidy rooms (when made up), helpful friendly hotel staff. Good wifi.
Crummy old lift (elevator). They didn't make room up on a couple of days! The room was too hot, had to open all windows. Laundry returned not ironed!
beautifully presented, clean hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. Good size en-suite and powerful shower. Two blocks(5 mins) away from Grand Central. Shuttle service can get you to heart of Time Square in less than a minute.
Air conditioning was switched off so room got very hot. Room was fairy small with only a single wardrobe.
Nice location, free coffee and tea in the hotel lounge, nice restaurants nearby
The heating system is noisy during the night
location cleanliness staff bed comfort value for money
Spotlessly clean, we had a shared bathroom and in a week only found it occupied once. Rooms are a little small but added to the quirkiness of it. Would def stay again. Many thanks for a wonderful stay.
Excellent location made up for the smaller than expected room size
Excellent location Staff great Loved the lounge downstairs.
Nice room decor pleasant front desk staff
wifi instability
very comfortable beds professional staff clean, decent sized rooms
having to hand in your keys to hotel staff for safekeeping when you head out
Location and General Service was good
Room was smaller than the pictures depicted. Servicing of rooms wasn't the best, Ie. Beds were made and bathroom was cleaned but didn't look like the vacuumed the room
Very pleasant staff, comfy bed, handy location, stylish, quiet even though room faced onto street, ice and ice buckets available in common area downstairs. Good bagel shop round the corner!
Can't adjust room temperature, no fridge or kettle in room (though tea and coffee available free of charge downstairs), not much space in bathroom
Stylish Amazing value Friendly. Will come back
Ideal base just a couple of blocks away from busy/noisy Times Square. Easy access to bus tours, tourist routes. Clean, tidy boutique hotel, excellent reception staff. Had a room with two double beds - ample room for a family of 4. Tea/coffee station in lobby - free use - ideal start to the day. Would recommend to anybody
We found the hotel in a great location previously staying only in Hilton we thought we'd give it a try and were so glad we did was a great trip and a great stay.
Our room could of done with a new bed and the shower was cold most mornings but that didn't put too much of a downer on the lovely staff and fab location

Report: Solyndra-Style Problems Seen In $8.33 Billion Federal Loan Guarantee For Vogtle Nuclear Reactor Project
FOIA-Disclosed Documents Expose Inadequate Attention to High Risk Faced by Taxpayers, Problems with Loan Due Diligence and Apparent Political Interference.
ATLANTA, Jan. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Documents newly acquired under a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request and subsequent litigation show that Solyndra-like problems are plaguing the controversial $8.33 billion federal loan guarantee conditionally committed for the construction of two nuclear reactors (Vogtle 3 and 4) in Georgia, according to a new analysis by Synapse Energy Economics and Earth Track for the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy (SACE).
Available at http://bit.ly/nonukeloans, the new report and related memo are based on hundreds of Department Energy (DOE) documents dated between June 2008 and July 2012. The analysis provides extensive new information about problems with the handling of the loan guarantee process for the Vogtle Project, the adequacy of the financial terms for the federal loan guarantees, risks to taxpayers not fully addressed in DOE's credit subsidy analysis, and indications of political interference with key financial decisions related to the conditional loan guarantees.
Among the key findings:
- Repeated indications of involvement in the loan guarantee process and terms by political appointees . An e-mail from December 2010 points to unspecified communication between the White House and the Nuclear Energy Institute over issues of concern. (In this and other cases, extensive redactions in the FOIA documents make the precise focus of the meetings and discussion unclear.) An email from February 2010 notes that DOE did not "deal" with Shaw [the firm slated to do much of the reactor construction]; rather, "the [W]hite [H]ouse did." Efforts for DOE to close out consultation, most likely on loan terms, was handled "at the political level" of the Department of the Treasury, according to another email. Emails from DOE staff indicate that Secretary Chu was involved in discussions with key Vogtle Project players over loans details as well. "MEAG's CEO, Bob Johnston got a call on Friday from Secretary Chu and they discussed the progress that had been made with Southern and where we stood on our [the MEAG] term sheet negotiation," read one email. As the report notes: "Those discussions were generally with the top management of the companies. This is a potentially troubling blurring of financial risk review, political discussion, and potential modification of loan terms."
- Credit subsidy payments that appear too low to offer adequate protection to taxpayers in the event of a default . According to the report: "Even the high estimate for Georgia Power ( $52 million), for example, would add only about 1/8% to borrowing costs over the life of the loan. This increment, which is supposed to protect taxpayers from the risk of default on the first nuclear reactors built in the U.S. in 30 years, is likely less than the Federal Financing Bank (FFB) markup on the loan relative to the Department of the Treasury's base cost of borrowing." The uncensored documents also reveal that the other major utility partners were offered a conditional loan guarantee with substantially higher credit subsidy fees than Georgia Power, but were still not protective of taxpayers. Oglethorpe Power's fee was 2.5-4.3% for a range of $70-132 million and MEAG's fee was 5-11.1% for a range of $108-186 million.
- Stale credit subsidy values. Despite continuing changes to the loan terms and a deteriorating power market over the past two years, there is no indication that DOE has adjusted credit subsidy estimates to reflect those dramatic changes.
- Over-reliance on external contractors for key risk evaluations. DOE appears not to have built sufficient analytic tools and staff expertise internally to properly assess credit risks and deal structure.
- Inadequate control of credit subsidy assessment process. Credit subsidy values were issued to borrowers before the credit subsidy model was finalized, and there is some indication that Vogtle Project borrowers may have been given access to the analytic models DOE used to assess credit risks and subsidy rates.
- Over reliance on third parties to assess the risk for taxpayers. "While some external input is useful in order to bolster DOE's expertise (e.g., review by external credit rating agencies), the released documents suggest that all key tools used to assess project risk were developed and held by private companies, and that individuals outside of the government were relied on for most tasks related to modifying and interpreting model runs, and addressing deal structure. Extensive redactions in credit subsidy models precluded third-party review of the validity of either the input assumptions or the results."
- Principal repayment delayed as long as possible, maximizing the interest rate subsidy to borrowers. According to released documents, none of the more than $3 billion in principal that Georgia Power will borrow gets repaid before years 29 and 30 of the loan. Back-loading of repayments is known as a "balloon structure," and OMB expressed a desire not to see it repeated on other guarantees. Both MEAG and OPC are also slated to have large amounts of debt remaining at the end of the 30-year loan term and will need to refinance to pay off the DOE.
- Disagreements between DOE and OMB on credit subsidy amounts were evident in the released documents. However the details and extent of the disagreements, as well as how differences were bridged, have all been entirely redacted.

I must have the luck of the Canuck with me. Ordered item from BananaHobby and received it within 8 days on East Coast (includes Canada Customs).
Had one of my buddies check it out and test it. He found one of the wires came close to one of the arms to the head rotor - we just used a small screwdriver and moved it out of the way. There was a wobble he tried to hover it but I had read in 1-2 forums about an aileron Gyro issue (so I clocked it down 1 hour) and problem was solved. Was able to hover it (no wind) semi decently after 30 minutes (I did quite a bit of sim first). Make sure you have wide open spaces - parking lot or low cut grass). I did use the ping pong ball attachments for better stabilization and I did get a crack in the base of the training landing gear but was easily able to glue it Overall - for the price - verry happy and ideal camping hobby Tks BananaHobby |

I have also had trouble with tail rotor blades but a new problem happen yesterday night. I went to fly my contra to relax lol. it does relax me. I did the usual setup to get things configured. The heli setup up fine and on spool up the main motor did not seem to get to speed. I had a fully charge battery in trans and heli. I put other battery into heli and tried again. This time there was no throttle response to main motor and tail motor would only work with the rudder to the right. I did try another trans to see if that was proble but still no dice. Can the reciever fail that way and that quickly. I had flewn just to nights before and had great fun. Has anyone had this trouble and if so how did u fix it. I did check Bh for new receiver but of course they are out of stock. Anybody now where to get these????? Love flying this heli great fun but sucks when it breaks down

It's that time of year: St. Louis in the postseason, its fans in the spotlight, the rest of the country unhappy. We let a Cardinals fan defend the Best Fans In Baseball. Brian Gunn grew up in St. Louis, Missouri and for years ran a Cardinals' fan blog called Redbird Nation. A former guest contributor to sites like The Hardball Times and Baseball Analysts, he now works as a screenwriter in Los Angeles. We around here like him a lot, and we like his writing a lot, which is why we are letting him do the one thing the Internet generally does not abide: Stick up for Cardinals fans. *** When I was growing up in St. Louis I'd sometimes be hanging out with my grandma, and the city of Dallas would come up in passing. Like we'd hear someone mention the Dallas Cowboys, or J.R. Ewing would be on TV, or we'd see some news clip about something that happened in Dallas. And every time my grandma would seethe with anger and mutter through her teeth: "Ooo, I hate Dallas!" If you asked her why, she'd reply, matter-of-factly, "'Cause they killed Kennedy."

Aaron Judge has long arms. Hitters with long arms have swing-and-miss issues. Do two sentences make a destiny? Few things scare scouts off a hitter more than high strikeout totals. We're trained to look past the numbers and to see just the player, rather than be swayed by, for example, gaudy numbers in an extreme hitting environment or against inferior competition—or the reverse. But high strikeout totals are one number that can set off scouts' alarms. Even the most successful minor-league hitters can, and usually will, struggle when they get to the majors if they have extreme swing-and-miss issues. As George Springer showed this year, a hitter with extreme strikeout tendencies can still be productive; that production might just come with a painfully low batting average. A few weeks ago, I talked about how predetermined biases about a player can affect the evaluation process, especially with prospects for whom expectations play a large part. In the case of Yankees outfield prospect Aaron Judge, however, even if we can strip away all of the background information, forget about his success in college and forget that he was selected in the Yankees in the first round, we can't ignore that he is a tremendously large human being. I mean, he's just massive. We know certain things that are generally pretty true about tall hitters. They typically hit for more power than their shorter counterparts, and at the same time, they generally swing and miss more. Part of that is due to the aforementioned propensity for power (as powerful swings tend to bring whiffs), but part is due to physics. Taller hitters have longer arms, and long arms make for long swings. The longer a swing, the more holes in it.

What makes a moment slow-motionable? What makes a moment made for soft focus and sepia? What will make you cry this month? It's complicated. Throughout the playoffs, sportswritin' fella Miles Wray will be writing for us about the production of postseason baseball. What Miles takes that vague phrase to mean will be as much of a surprise to me as it will be to you. Here's his first piece. Allow me to propose a new term for the baseball lexicon: Octoberness. Noun. Used in a sentence: "Derek Jeter joyously dogpiling with Mariano Rivera, Jorge Posada, and Bernie Williams sure is peak Octoberness. Octoberness, along with all of playoff baseball, is something just slightly separate from regular baseball; not necessarily better or worse so much as easier to recall, easier to retell, easier to manipulate. Regular baseball is feeling your arms sunburn as the losing manager slowly strolls out to pull another reliever in an 8-2 game. Octoberness is David Ortiz launching a ball over the Monstah at midnight, his breath misting in the air as he rounds the bases. Regular baseball is Aramis Ramirez. Octoberness is David Freese.

What are we talking about when we talk about disappointment? "(A box score) doesn't tell how big you are, what church you attend, what color you are, or how your father voted in the last election. It just tells what kind of baseball player you were on that particular day." –Branch Rickey If only it were still that simple. Back when Rickey was making personnel decisions for major-league organizations, and those last three traits were actually factors in how people were judged, it was a lot easier to evaluate a ballplayer without knowing too much about him. But with phones and tablets now as essential to the scouting toolbox as a stopwatch, with three different prospect rankings appearing on players' Baseball-Reference pages, with signing bonuses public (and publicy debated), with the conversation about some players' draft stock now rivaling the lifespan and intrigue of a presidential primary, that's no longer the case. Colin Moran is not a bad baseball player. The University of North Carolina doesn't recruit bad baseball players. Bad baseball players don't get popped sixth overall in the major-league draft. And bad baseball players don't hit .296 between High- and Double-A, as Moran did in 2014, his first full year among the professional ranks. Yet to hear many evaluators talk—to hear me at certain points during this season—you might think Moran is just terrible. Throughout a season of sitting behind home plate, I saw no player inspire more head shakes, shoulder shrugs and eye rolling than Moran. "How was this guy the sixth-best amateur player in the country last year," I heard from more than one scout. I wasn't terribly kind in my initial write-up of Moran, saying "I came away feeling very underwhelmed with the player." August 29, 2014 6:00 am
Many a day has passed, the night has gone by, but still I find the time to put that bump off in your eye. Sam Miller: So with Jason Parks gone, we thought it was appropriate that the staff assess his tenure here and make sure that his future employers know what they're getting: A guy who will write the occasional scouting report in the voice of Bud Cort's character in Electric Dreams; a guy who will push to sign every cast member from the Venezuelan remake of The Outsiders based solely on the way they wrap cigarette boxes in their t-shirt sleeves; and so on. So, everybody: Now's the time to pile on. Consider this something like a roast. Profanity follows. Joe Hamrahi: Everything is fair game here folks! This is a BP Premium article.

It was classic McLain: charming, cocky, arrogant, reckless. A rebel or a punk, take your pick, and your choice likely depended on your age and your politics. Just 24 years old, McLain had played by his own rules his whole life, and as the first 30-game winner in baseball in 34 years, he could get away with just about anything. On September 19, 1968 at Tiger Stadium, Detroit right-hander Denny McLain was cruising along in the top of the eighth with a 6-1 lead over the New York Yankees. He had won his 30th game five days earlier, and the Tigers had already clinched the American League pennant. When Yankee first baseman Mickey Mantle came to bat with one out and nobody on, McLain let Mantle know that he would give him whatever pitch Mickey wanted. Mantle signaled for a fastball letter high, McLain delivered it, and Mantle hit it into the right field seats for his 535th career home run. Although McLain was coy after the game in the locker room, everyone knew what had happened. It was classic McLain: charming, cocky, arrogant, reckless. A rebel or a punk, take your pick, and your choice likely depended on your age and your politics. Just 24 years old, McLain had played by his own rules his whole life, and as the first 30-game winner in baseball in 34 years, he could get away with just about anything. He knew it. He had a prickly relationship with his teammates, managers, and the fans, all of whom he was apt to criticize in the press. Bill Freehan, his catcher, once wrote, "The rules for Denny just don't seem to be the same as for the rest of us." On the mound, he was a gunfighter. He pulled his hat brim down so low that he had to cock his head upwards to see the signs from his catcher. He worked fast and without deception. He used fastballs and hard sliders for the most part, challenging the hitter with every pitch. If a batter hit the ball hard, the next time up McLain would give him the same pitch in the same location. Off the field, McLain's life was equally carefree and, it would turn out, even more reckless. His idol was Frank Sinatra, not so much for his singing voice but because he exuded wealth and power. He was an accomplished organist--he played the Ed Sullivan Show, headlined gigs in Las Vegas, cut a few records. He flew his own airplane. In 1969 McLain and Pete Rose co-authored an instructional booklet called "How to Play Better Baseball." The project likely did not require that Rose and McLain get together to work on the book, which is unfortunate. If they had, they would have discovered that they had a lot in common. McLain won the Cy Young Award, MVP, and the World Series in 1968, and won the Cy Young again in 1969 when he won 24 games. He made $100,000 from the Tigers, and at least that much off the field. He seemed to be living the dream life. And suddenly, he wasn't. The remainder of this post cannot be viewed at this subscription level. Please click here to subscribe. This is a BP Premium article.

The phrase "a walk is as good as a hit" has echoed through our noggins since Little League. Though not exactly true, the ability to reach base without putting the ball in play is a valuable offensive weapon; advances in sabermetrics have enabled us to quantify the value of a walk and hit-by-pitch quite precisely. As a guy who regularly leads his slow pitch softball team in walks, I have an appreciation for players who find ways to take a leisurely stroll to first base. Ron Hunt's maddening ability to get some part of his body in front of a pitched ball, Dale Berra's knack for having his bat tick the catcher's leather, Lance Blankenship coaxing four wide ones while hovering around the Mendoza Line--all are uncanny talents. This study is designed to identify hitters that had the greatest percentage of their offensive game as a result of walks and hit-by-pitches. This is very different than leading the league in the counting or rate statistics attached to those categories. Ted Williams led the American League in bases-on-balls eight different times, but was such a force at the plate that he still would have been an outstanding offensive player had he walked half as often. The idea is to recognize players who made the slow walk up the first baseline an art form, who were and are somehow able to finagle pitches outside the strike zone despite being less than imposing figures with a bat in their hands. After monkeying around with various combinations of on-base percentage, batting average and slugging percentage, I tossed them aside and settled on the following formula, calling the result the "Walking Man Quotient" (WMQ): WMQ = 1.5*(BB+HBP) / (H+TB+1.5*(BB+HBP)+SB) The denominator is part of the basic formula that Clay Davenport uses to calculate Equivalent Average (EqA). Dividing it into the walk and hit-by-pitch components approximates those components as a percentage of the hitter's total offensive output. Patient sluggers like Williams and Mickey Mantle will occasionally have a high WMQ in years when their numbers are down, but the players with the best ratios will neither hit for average nor power while still collecting scads of walks and hit-by-pitches. With that background, here are the Top 20 single-season WMQs of all-time (post-1900, minimum 400 plate appearances): The remainder of this post cannot be viewed at this subscription level.

While we wait breathlessly for word from Cooperstown about the results of the new Veterans Committee balloting, the STATLG-L Internet Hall of Fame voters have spoken their collective mind here on BP. While we wait breathlessly for word from Cooperstown about the results of the new Veterans Committee balloting, the STATLG-L Internet Hall of Fame voters have spoken their collective mind here on BP. Well, sort of. The voting patterns on the two ballots (Players and Composite) were rather similar in some respects. On both ballots, only one person received the support of as much as half of the voters. On both ballots, the average voter cast votes for only a small number of candidates. On both ballots, nearly half of the candidates were able to attract the votes of fewer than 10% of the IHOF voters. Players Ballot It turned out to be a pretty good day for Chicago at the top of the Players ballot. If the Hall of Famers cast their ballots in a manner similar to what our 1,789 participants did, the long, long wait is finally over for Ron Santo. The great Cubbie third baseman made it past the 75% plateau with 42 votes to spare; he was named on just over 77% of the ballots. With just over 40% of the vote, Minnie Minoso, who spent much of his career playing for the White Sox, finished a distant second to Santo. The only other man to garner as much as one-third of the votes on the Players ballot was Dick Allen, who spent three years on the South Side (among them, his 1972 MVP season). As a long-suffering Phillies phan, however, I will forever remember him in red pinstripes. The complete tally on the Players ballot is displayed below: Player Votes Percent Ron Santo 1384 77.4% Minnie Minoso 731 40.9% Dick Allen 638 35.7% Joe Torre 559 31.2% Gil Hodges 394 22.0% Tony Oliva 388 21.7% Curt Flood 361 20.2% Roger Maris 353 19.7% Joe Gordon 302 16.9% Carl Mays 262 14.6% Maury Wills 225 12.6% Ken Boyer 213 11.9% Bobby Bonds 213 11.9% Thurman Munson 179 10.0% Don Newcombe 139 7.8% Wes Ferrell 135 7.5% Vada Pinson 128 7.2% Mickey Lolich 100 5.6% Elston Howard 91 5.1% Rocky Colavito 88 4.9% Mike G.

Between a careful analysis of what data is available, the creative use of proxy variables in estimating injuries throughout time, and the application of some principles of sports medicine, we are at least in a position to make some educated guesses about the nature of pitcher injuries. Our particular focus in this article will be the progression of pitcher injury rates by age. Pitching is an unnatural act that invites injury. The stress it places on the bones of the shoulder, arm, and back is immense. The strain it places on the 36 muscles that attach to the humerus, clavicle, and scapula is remarkable. It is widely accepted by sports medicine practitioners that every pitch causes at least some amount of damage to the system. It seems fair to say that the study of pitcher injuries is an important part of sabermetric analysis. The statistical evidence available to test theories about pitcher injuries, however, is often missing. While there are databases that contain every recorded statistic from the days of Al Spalding and beyond, and others that document every play of every game in the past 30 years, a comprehensive database of player injury history simply doesn't exist. However, between a careful analysis of what data is available, the creative use of proxy variables in estimating injuries throughout time, and the application of some principles of sports medicine, we are at least in a position to make some educated guesses about the nature of pitcher injuries. Our particular focus in this article will be the progression of pitcher injury rates by age. Methodology and Statistical Results To create an actuarial backbone for our study, we applied the same approach that is used to calculate attrition rate in the PECOTA forecasts. Attrition rate describes the percentage of pitchers who experience a decline in their innings pitched of at least 50 percent. Such a dramatic decline will not always indicate that a serious injury has occurred--it can also reflect demotion, retirement, and so on. However, by placing a few restrictions on our dataset, we can serve to limit these cases, and use attrition rate as a reasonable proxy for catastrophic injury. In order to be included in the study, a pitcher needed to have pitched at least 150 innings in the previous season, with a park-adjusted ERA no more than 10 percent worse than his league average. That is, our study was focused on pitchers who had already pitched at least one effective season in the major leagues, and who were likely to have every opportunity to do so again in the absence of significant injury. All pitchers from 1946-2002 were considered, with innings pitched totals prorated over a 162-game schedule. The chart below tracks attrition rate at different ages throughout a pitcher's career.

There is enough evidence to perform at least an exploratory empirical analysis of what types of skills are best accentuated by Coors Field. Up until now, the Coors Field Wars have been fought from the top down. There have plenty of theories advanced about what sort of hitter should do well at Coors. Joe Sheehan presented one theory (players who put the ball in play make best use of Coors), Rany Jazayerli presented another (high altitude provides a comparative advantage to whiff-prone hitters by reducing strikeouts), and Dan O'Dowd has tested out both theories and then some in his manic building and rebuilding of the Rockies. What hasn't been done, at least so far as I am aware, is a systematic study of what sort of hitters actually have benefited from high altitude. Baseball in Denver is no longer a novelty; the Rockies have accumulated tens of thousands of plate appearances in their decade of existence. There is enough evidence to perform at least an exploratory empirical analysis of what types of skills are best accentuated by the ballpark. Methodology Including the Mile High years, there have been 29 hitters with significant major league experience in another organization who accumulated at least 130 plate appearances in a season in purple pinstripes. Although it would be stretch to call any of those hitters an established superstar prior to his initiation as a Rockie - Larry Walker can make the best case - they represent every possible permutation of strength and deficiency. It would be hard to identify two more opposite players than Dante Bichette and Alex Cole, who took the outfield together in the Rockies' first ever home game on April 9, 1993. I turned back the clock and ran PECOTA projections for each of these 29 players. There are only a couple of differences between this set of forecasts and those that appear in this year's book. First, because we do not have Davenport Translations that far back into time, only major league stats were used; thus the emphasis on established major leaguers. Second, all players were projected into a neutral park and league. The PECOTA system makes certain assumptions about how to apply park effects - all players are not treated equally. In this case, however, we're using our forecasting system to test out certain theories about actual performance, and not the other way around; introducing PECOTA's notions about park effects would bias the analysis. We can get away with comparing park-neutral forecasts to park-affected results by using a measure for value that places all players back on an equal footing - in this case, Equivalent Average. Our nouveau Rockies are listed in the table below, sorted by the difference between their expected and actual EQA. February 20, 2003 6:35 pm
The PCL is famous for its pinball scores but there are other, better reasons to pay attention to it this year.

Whenever "competitive balance" is debated, the debaters inevitably turn to published information about team payrolls to support their positions. This sounds straightforward. Unfortunately, "team payroll" is a fluid concept. The four most widely reported measures each use different methods and can lead to different conclusions. Whenever "competitive balance" is debated, the debaters inevitably turn to published information about team payrolls to support their positions. This sounds straightforward... but unfortunately, "team payroll" is a fluid concept. The four most widely reported measures each use different methods and can lead to different conclusions. The four measures are (1) the Opening Day payrolls reported by the AP and USA Today a week or so into the season; (2) the August 31 payrolls reported by MLB after the season; (3) the August 31 average team salaries reported by the MLBPA after the season; and (4) the luxury tax payrolls reported by MLB after the season. The first three have a lot in common. Each begins with the salary of every player on a club's 25-man roster, or its major league disabled list, as of the stated date. Each computes each player's base salary in the same way: the actual amount he is paid during the season, plus a pro-rated share of his signing bonus and the discounted present value of any part of his salary which is deferred to a future year. Each has a common flaw: by taking a snapshot of the roster as of a specific date, it ignores the effect of midseason player moves. The MLBPA's formula has a more serious flaw which renders it essentially useless for meaningful team-to-team comparison. Its averaging method involves dividing the club's total payroll by the number of players on its roster-plus-DL. However, the size of the disabled list varies widely from team to team. In 2002 just 26 players were used to compute the Kansas City and Oakland averages, while San Diego's average was based on a 36-man roster. Thus while the August 31 payrolls for Oakland and San Diego were virtually identical, Oakland's reported average was $450,000 higher. Given the other information available, that's an unacceptable variance.
