No K's for Cole through 3 today. Must be working on pitches. I thought we might be looking for an actual season ready test this start, but with 2 starts left, maybe a little early.

Nice inning for Cloyd with defensive help from Cesar Hernandez. Two assists, one a nice play to his left. Hernandez could go a ways toward deciding the Phils position on Chase. 5 year pro not even at Triple A to date, but still only 23 years old.

Ruf,hit on the elbow told the press he's okay while icing it.
Different strokes for different folks I guess.
I'd have announced my retirement. That looked painful.
Not a great outing for Cosart today.

Maybe some of those prospects haven't been much, but the latest trade packages have been low minor leaguers with high upside and may still prove to be excellent ML players when they're called up. I believe a couple of the guys the Phils traded for Pence have yet to reach 21 years of age. Sometimes it takes more than a year or two to truly evaluate a trade, particularly when such young players are involved.
Also, many catchers besides D'Arnaud have had knee surgery, so I'm sure he's still a top prospect in the minds of most scouts.

Ok, so the jury is still out, and those trades for Halladay, Lee, and Pence shouldn't be considered bad deals just yet.

No, and you can include the Oswalt deal also. Anthibny Gose might still be a wish we still had him, but even just a good half season out of Roy, and it was very good, to this point was a plus deal.
By the way, while the Pence deal yielded good prospects, even if the deal looks bad down the road, Tommy Joseph was part of the return, and perhaps he winds up softening any pain that develops out of it. And you'd think Singleton will indeed provide pain even by his lonesome.

Absolutely Ken, Joseph could end up being the best player of the bunch, Singleton may get his shot this year after 50 game suspension.

I haven't heard many people criticize the Halladay and (original) Lee trades. The Oswalt and Pence trades are another story though. Eddie Wade did very well in those deals. The Phillies gave up a lot (probably too much) for two guys who were here for a short amount of time.

The net return for the package of Jarred Cosart, Jonathan Singleton, Domingo Santana and Josh Zeid stands at Tommy Joseph, Seth Rosin and one year of Pence.
I'd rather have Singleton & Santana in the Phillies' farm system than Joseph & Rosin.

Forgot about Santana, he had a strong season in Hi A last year.

There were 58 qualifying position players in the High A California League. Santana was the only one of the 58 wasn't 20 yet, and yet he was the 7th best hitter (by wRC+).
He still strikes out a lot (28.2%. or 183 per 650), so it remains to be seen if that catches up with him in AA.

While the jury is still out on the players the Phils gave up in those deals – to me, the Pence deal was by far the worst – the jury is not out on how much they gave up at the time relative to what other teams may have given up for similar players. When you compare the package that the Phils gave up for Pence to the package that the Braves gave up for Bourn, who arguably was a better player than Pence, it is clear (based on how those players were rated at the time) that the Phils gave up more. This is important because, had they given up a comparable package for Pence that the Braves gave up for Bourn, they might have held onto some prospects who could have enabled them to trade for Justin Upton or they might be in position to trade for Chase Headley.
Results-based analysis is only part of the equation. Analysis of the deal at the time is also important and it was obvious on August 1, 2011 that they overpaid for Pence.

While Bourn and Pence are somewhat comparable players, they don't play the same position and don't have identical skillsets. I don't defend the Pence deal, because it was a clear overpay, but at the time the front office thought they needed more of a power bat, preferably a righthanded bat, and had no real use (at the time) for Bourn. In other words, trade value can't be totaly based on what other teams may have given up, because other teams have different needs. If a team wants a power bat, they might have to pay more to get it. If the trade partner has no use for a speedy outfielder, they may let him go for less.
One other factor in comparisons should be contract length. In the case of Bourn, Atlanta got one season, then lost him as a free agent, netting only a compensatory draft pick in return. The Phils got Pence with two years of control, and when he didn't work out were able to flip him for a highly regarded prospect playing a premium position.
As I said, the Pence deal was a clear overpay, but it has little to do with what the Braves were able to do with Bourn. A better comparison, based more on types of skills, might be Pence and Beltran, although once again, service time enters in.

Two other factors I think are many times missed in trade comparisons: players' ages and potential. In the cases of Pence, Bourn, and Beltran, none of these are even close. Beltran was considered to be near the finish line, career-wise (although, strangely, he actually got better the following year with the Cards), Bourn is likely starting on the downslope, and Pence, at the time, was actually entering his so-called prime. These may all be projections, as Beltran's unexpected performance showed, but they are factors any GM will use in evaluating what to give up for which player. Sometimes they get it wrong; sometimes the numbers do lie. A GM doesn't have the all-seeing prognosticating power of a fan looking back, and he can't make up hypotheticals oconcerning who he might have gotten had he not done that initial deal. (Well, I suppose he could, if he wants ulcers!)

"Bourn is likely starting on the downslope, and Pence, at the time, was actually entering his so-called prime."
Bourn is 3.5 months older than Pence.

Hamilton has been so much better than Pence that his contract as compared to Bourn's has no place in a comparison of July 2011 Pence vs. July 2011 Bourn. BTW, I agree that some front offices have stressed power over speed and defense in the past; however, that doesn't mean it is (or was) the right thing to do.
I know that WAR is not the be-all and end-all statistic, but it is worth noting that Pence plus Schierholtz, who came over in the Pence deal, provided the Phils with 3.9 WAR in 749 PA's (0.0052 WAR per PA) while Bourn provided the Braves with 7.6 WAR in 952 PA's (0.0080 WAR per PA). In summary:
1. The Phils gave up much better prospects for Pence than ATL did for Bourn.
2. The Phils got worse production (as measured by WAR) from Pence + Schierholtz than ATL did from Bourn.
3. The Phils paid Pence + Schierholtz ~$7.6M while ATL paid Bourn ~$8.345M.
4. Going forward, the Phils have Tommy Joseph to show for originally acquiring Pence while ATL has a sandwich pick to show for originally acquiring Bourn.

Most people don't break down age to months and days. I'm sorry if I kept it to years.
That said, speed guys are generally considered to age faster (They always say the legs are the first things to go). I may not agree with that, but it's one reason why even at the time of the trade, most fans thought Pence was a bit younger, and one of the reasons why many people on this very site thought signing Bourn as a free agent would be a bad move by the Phils.
The two of them, Pence and Bourn, are not comparable players, in my opinion. If you believe they are, that's your opinion. I feel I've presented some valid arguments as to why they aren't (power hitter vs. contact and speed, length of team control, and others' perceptions, right or wrong, about age). You only picked on the age discrepancy (and Bourn IS older), which would indicate to me that that's your only defense of your position.
And as I clearly stated, I thought Pence cost too much. I don't need other teams' dealings to tell me that.
One last thing: although the Phils might have some extra trade chips if they'd kept those prospects, it's pure conjecture to think they might have scored Headley or Upton. Again, it depends on the other team's needs, and depends too on timing. Plus, there still might be a very good market for the Phil's catching depth, acquired partly with Pence.

If you kept it to years, you would have said Bourn is 0 years older than Pence.

On Bourn's and Pence's respective ages and on aging, they are practically the same age and I don't recall anyone expecting Bourn to slow down in his age 28 or age 29 season. I was among those who did not want Bourn for his age 30 season, but I also would not want Pence for his age 30 season, especially at the $13.8M price tag that San Francisco has him.
On team control, you are correct that Pence came with one more year of team control. He also came with a higher contract in 2011, which meant he would most likely get more than Bourn via arbitration (or via a pre-arbitration settlement) in 2012 and that Pence would command a very large contract in 2013. It turned out that way, too, as Pence and the Phils settled for $10.4M for 2012 while Bourn and the Braves settled for $6.845M for the same season. Team control is great, but only when the player is cheap. All other things being equal, I would have much preferred to acquire Bourn's contract than to acquire Pence's.

I think a quick summary of all these trades (and others) could read like this:
Some work, some some don't. All front offices make both kinds.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, California — Neil Young's annual Bridge School Benefit concerts traditionally take place around Halloween, so you'll have to forgive the 20,000 fans at this weekend's second show if they think they saw rock and roll ghosts on Sunday.
Yes, that was a leather-clad Billy Idol holding a cheat sheet while singing Buffalo Springfield's Vietnam-era protest anthem "For What It's Worth" as host Young stomped around ripping off stinging solos on an acoustic guitar. Although it was one of the strangest phantasms, the ghosts of the past were lurking all over on that crisp fall day.
In an all-star acoustic event known for strange-bedfellow hook-ups — Sunday's included Dave Matthews with Tracy Chapman and Pearl Jam with Ben Harper — it was not the collaborations, but the apropos covers and new songs that were the hallmark of this year's shows.
And unlike the traditional show-closing all-star jam, this time Young and his pals were mute at night's end. Their silence made for some of the most powerful, moving music of all. As Young — sporting a by-now-familiar FDNY baseball cap — and Crazy Horse performed an instrumental version of John Lennon's "Imagine," placards with the song's lyrics were displayed on the video screens for the audience to raise its voice and recite the song's humanitarian message.
Though the shows benefited the Bridge School, co-founded by Young and his wife for children with physical and speech impairments, pleas for peace, tolerance and understanding were the order of the day.
Young opened the event with his traditional solo rendering of "Sugar Mountain" as well as a cover of Bob Dylan's "Blowin' in the Wind." He would reprise the song at night's end in a subdued performance with his usually raucous cohorts in Crazy Horse. "How many times must the cannon balls fly/ Before they're forever banned?" Young sang in his quavering voice, summing up the tenor of many of the day's sets.
R.E.M. singer Michael Stipe apologized in advance for any "bum notes" he might hit during the band's majestic performance of "Everybody Hurts." It was unclear if he was talking about his sore throat or the difficulty of hitting high notes while singing the lines, "Everybody hurts/ Everybody cries … hold on." But when he bowed his head and raised his right hand in a peace sign at song's end, it seemed certain emotion was at the forefront of his mind.
Matthews took the stage alone and performed a restrained set that included the duet with four-time Bridge veteran Chapman on the humble paean "Eyes of the Maker" as well as a bittersweet solo cover of Willie Nelson's "Funny How Time Slips Away."
Five-time Bridge School performers Pearl Jam opened with a rousing tribute to the school's students, who took their traditional spot on a riser at the back of the stage. "You can figure out who this is for," Eddie Vedder beamed as the band ripped through the Who's "The Kids Are Alright."
Vedder, wearing a green army jacket and khaki pants, prefaced "Last Soldier," the second of two new songs the band performed Sunday, by saying that guitarist Mike McCready had written the tune just a week earlier. The folky, vintage Neil Young-like song featured lines about a new generation's trepidation about going to war.
"There's no time for laughing/ There's no time to cry/ Soon I will be leaving/ Look me in the eye," Vedder sang, his eyes half-closed. "The oath I took not so seriously/ My decision's been made/ By someone I can't see/ I don't know them, and they don't know me."
Vedder took on a Dylan-esque snarl for Lennon's "Give Me Some Truth," spitting out the lines "I've had enough of reading things by neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians," as the band picked up steam behind him and the song came crashing to a crescendo. After an intense duet with Harper on "Indifference" and the live debut of "Low Light," the set closed with the band's playful cover of Arthur Alexander's "Solider of Love," in which Vedder pleaded, "Lay down your arms/ And surrender to me."
While artists traditionally tone down their sets for the Bridge shows, someone apparently forgot to tell '80s rocker and three-time show veteran Idol. Decked out in full leather gear, dark shades and trademark sneer, Idol performed raunchy, fist-shaking versions of his hits ("Cradle of Love," "Eyes Without a Face," "Rebel Yell") while slapping hands and mugging for the kids. Guitarist Steve Stevens accompanied Idol on a toned-down version of "White Wedding," with the singer supplying percussion by slapping his leather-clad bum.
While Idol updated the lines to "For What It's Worth" to suit the times ("Nobody's right if Donald Rumsfeld's wrong"), it was Young's reworking of his 1987 song "Mideast Vacation" that highlighted his show-closing performance. In a set that included "Long May You Run," "Love and Only Love" and a cover of the Beatles' "All You Need is Love," it was a spectral, spooky rendition of the forgotten '80s song that made the loudest sound.
Accompanied by the crashing of cymbals and an ominous gong, Young and Crazy Horse performed a haunting version of the prophetic tune. "I went lookin' for Bin Laden aboard Air Force One," Young sang, replacing the song's original pariah, Muammar Qadhafi, with today's enemy. "They chanted, 'Death to America'/ I was feelin' like a fight," Young sang, his voice sounding weary and confused. "When they burned me in effigy/ My vacation was complete."
It was hard to forget who the show was for, but this year's Bridge gracefully managed to pay tribute to the kids and a world in need of some healing.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
A rooming house with a deadly rep
City's third slaying victim of year a tenant
Area residents and business owners call it Murder Mansion, and it claimed its third victim this week.
A tenant in the sprawling rooming house at 624-626 Balmoral St. was found beaten to death inside his suite by another tenant around 4:30 p.m. Tuesday.
A police source confirmed the victim's identity as Ron McKinnon. An autopsy is scheduled to determine the cause of death.
"When (police arrived), the man had already passed away," said Winnipeg Police Service spokesman Const. Eric Hofley.
He said officers responded to a 911 call from the rooming house.
McKinnon is the city's third homicide victim of 2013.
"Welcome to Murder Mansion. It's extremely, extremely bad," said Fred Redekop, owner of Fleet Autobody, next door to the rooming house. "I've had knives pulled on me in the mornings when I'm opening up."
Redekop said the 22-unit rooming house is known as a violent crack house where a handful of homicides have taken place in recent times.
"Families with kids don't live there," Redekop said.
McKinnon's death is the third homicide inside the rooming house in five years. Another man was shot several times there in December 2009. He was taken to hospital in critical condition but survived.
"This rooming house is certainly a place where we've had contact with," Hofley said.
Police yellow tape surrounded the home Wednesday. Officers had been there all night. Members of the WPS identification unit were on the scene Wednesday morning, probing for evidence.
Hofley said several residents of the rooming house were taken in for questioning, but police had no suspects in custody.
The building is owned by Shoal Lake resident Robert Shwaluk and his son, Jeffrey Shwaluk, who lives in Winnipeg.
Jeffrey Shwaluk said he was surprised by the fatal attack, adding the tenants are mostly older seniors who get along.
"I got rid of the gangs and hookers two years ago," he said. "Most of the tenants are now older, nice people.
"Everyone usually sits around and gets along with each other. I'm certain everyone (the other tenants) are heartbroken about this."
Shwaluk said McKinnon was between 50 and 60 years old, unemployed and had been living in the rooming house for between six months and a year.
Shwaluk said he installed eight surveillance cameras around the exterior of the building, adding he's certain whoever attacked McKinnon was caught on video while leaving.
"The police took all the video," he said.
In a telephone interview, Robert Shwaluk said he and his son bought the rooming house two years ago, adding they knew it had an unsavoury reputation at the time.
He said his son has made efforts to clean up the building and make it safer for tenants.
"He's been working as a security guard there to try and watch to see who is coming in," Robert Shwaluk said. "My son has been working quite diligently to clear that up.
"He's been trying... to observe the tenants and non-tenants that are coming in and out to try and make it a little bit safer place for the tenants that are there."
He said his son imposed rules on the tenants to make it safer and curtail the violence that dogged the building in the past, including mandating "quiet time" after 11 p.m.
Redekop said information he's received over the years as a neighbour to the building suggests the city has tried to demolish it and the Justice Department tried to shut it down because of drug-dealing.
Sex-trade workers had used the building in the past, but Redekop said the criminal activity and violence seemed to have quieted down in the last few months since the new owners purchased it.
MURDER MANSION: 624-626 Balmoral St.
Nov. 8, 2008, 4:30 a.m.: 39-year-old Philip Mayur is stabbed in the rooming house and dies later of his injuries. Kworo Ojulu, 26, and Ojullo Agwa, 42, are charged with first-degree murder.
Dec. 30, 2009, 4:30 a.m.: A man is shot several times inside the rooming house. Taken to hospital in critical condition, he is later upgraded to stable.
Jan. 18, 2009, 4 a.m.: Valerie Paypompee, 36, is fatally stabbed in a second-floor suite. Her boyfriend, Mulugeta Geddy Gillamichael, 34, is charged with second-degree murder.
Feb. 26, 2013, 4:30 p.m.: Ron McKinnon is found by another tenant, beaten to death in his suite.

ID on pink/purplish rose
plainswalker(Vancouver, Ca)January 2, 2007
A friend of mine showed me a picture of a rose, and I absolutely loved the colour... however she has no idea what rose it is (I believe she got the rose off of a free image site). Can anyone help me ID this rose?
Many thanks.
Image link:
There are some rose photos on this particular rose that look very similar to this. Hard to believe that some of the photos are of the same rose. Have to be because they're grown in different zones, different amount of sun/heat or someone has a rose marked wrong sometimes. But, here for your consideration, look at the ones that are similar to yours and ignore the others.

Madison- Madison Capitols defenseman Alec Vanko has had a great hockey career.
He starred at Oregon High School and will play at Minnesota State-Mankato next fall after his time with the Capitols. Vanko credits his dad, Bob with keeping him focused on hockey.
"He was always by my side throughout it, " Alec said. "I think that was always our relationship, hanging out at the rink and stuff like that."
But last November, Vanko's life changed dramatically when Bob passed away.
Alec Vanko has continued his hockey career with strong memories of his father.
"Getting back to hockey was all he would have wanted me to do," said Vanko.
"Before every game I leave one extra ticket. One for my Dad, just so he always knows he can have that spot, but I know he's watching from up above."

Notes from the Manager
Related Strips: #403: The Delusionist; #404: Too Much Information; #406: Mistaken Identity
First things first: the good news.
The survey has ended, and between the comments I got there, the overall number of people who said yes they would buy one, and (well, okay, mainly) a couple of very impressive printing quotes I've received, the cover price of the book will now be $20.
The bad news is… that's only if the Kickstarter project succeeds! Without the Kickstarter funding, the book will not happen. At least not for another year or so. No time to create all the new material for the book, no time to put it all together, and certainly not enough money to pay for the print run and shipping from China, customs clearance, an ISBN number, etc.
If you are a big fan of Multiplex, please consider pledging at the $30 level or higher. It's not just to get your copy of the print book (with free shipping!), the eBooks, a thank you, and access to all of the exclusive bonus content I will be showering backers with once the project is successful (especially in February and March, when I'll be buckling down to finish the book) — it's to help support Multiplex, because while every penny of the Kickstarter funds will go towards the book itself, the profits from the book will finance Book 2 and hopefully one or two spin-off projects (yes, Multiplex spin-offs), as well.
Even if you can't afford the $30 level, you'll get the first two HD eBooks free (the second one will be done in the next few weeks, I hope) and access to the exclusive content at any level — even if you just pledge $1! You'll also be eligible to win Cool Shit in occasional random drawings. But after December 11th, the Club of Awesome's doors are locked!
Think of the Multiplex: Book 1 Kickstarter Project like NPR or PBS: sure, you get (most of) the content for free, but if you want to continue getting the same great comics — or, actually, more of them — then please pledge today!
In other news (but kind of not), the Fanboy Radio interview from Sunday is online now, for your podcasting pleasure. The episode, #528, featured Kickstarter co-founder Yancy Strickler and cartoonist Jamie Tanner (The Aviary), who has successfully funded his second graphic novel through Kickstarter, and then of course myself, talking about Multiplex and the Kickstarter project.
UPDATE (10/23): Oh my god. When you guys get excited about something, you guys get excited. The Multiplex/Kickstarter project raised over $600 in the past two days — more than enough to be successfully funded on its end date — but please, keep those pledges coming! This Kickstarter update outlines (most of?) shows how reaching the $7500 goal just covers about 2/3 of the costs associated with printing the book and the Kickstarter Project — to say nothing of my living expenses while I finish the book, which the project was meant to cover, as well.
Thank you so much to everyone who has pledged to date. Keep telling your friends to support the project, though — we've got 49 days left to keep raising money for the book, and by gum, we should take advantage of them.

Leonard Nimoy (1931–2015)
Sunday, March 1, 2015
I was never a huge Star Trek fan, exactly. I love some of the early episodes, and I think Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is one of the greatest
science fiction movies of all time. I enjoyed Star Trek III and IV, too, for what they were. I read a bunch of the DC Comics Star Trek stuff at that time, because my brother bought them. And I watched a bit of the Next Generation and then fell off the wagon. Kirk and Spock were my Star Trek, and the Star Trek 2–4 "era" was its peak for me, warts and all, because that's the "era" that really hooked me. And really, for me, it was all about Wrath of Khan.
In addition to playing Mr. Spock, of course, Leonard Nimoy did a lot of other things. He was on Mission: Impossible. He directed a few movies (Three Men and a Baby!). He was a photographer. He was the voice of Civilization IV. But one thing I really loved of his was Standby: Lights, Camera, Action, on Nickelodeon from 1982–1987, which provided a behind the scenes look at movies like Star Trek III, Return of the Jedi, 2010, and more. Nimoy hosted and occasionally interviewed guests like George Lucas. As a budding film nerd in the pre-Internet Dark Ages, behind the scenes specials like Standby: Lights, Camera, Action were hard to come by. I ate that show up.
Anyway, as you're undoubtedly aware by now, Leonard Nimoy passed away on the 27th. As cartoonists do when they're sad about these kinds of things, I drew a picture:

"Sons of Anarchy" has been building up since the FX biker drama show started their production on their seventh and final season, and this time the highly anticipated finale will premiere on Sept. 9. SOA season 7 will kick off 10 days after the SAMCRO matriarch Gemma Teller (Katey Sagal) brutally murdered her daughter-in-law, Dr. Tara Knowles (Maggie Siff), and Juice (Theo Rossi) killed Sheriff Eli Roosevelt (Rockmond Dunbar) to protect her.
As the show is coming close to its September premiere, a second teaser clip has been released which made a lot of fans speculate about the SOA finale. Just like the first teaser, the short clip features a bike but this time there is no one riding it as it barrels down the same dark mountain road which was shown on the first clip.
With a title "Final Ride," the second teaser suggest major deaths in the SOA final season, but it's still unclear who will meet its tragic death and who will survive to the very end. Entertainment Weekly speculates that the ghost rider in the first teaser represents the ghost of John Teller, which could mean that Jax (Charlie Hunnam) will know that ugly truth about Gemma.
The 20-second teaser ends with a caption that reads: "Who will complete the final ride?" With so many deaths on its previous seasons, "Sons of Anarchy" is up for another thrilling season that promises more brutal deaths and twists as the show is heading for its final hurrah.
Series creator Kurt Sutter hinted on its video blog that season 7 is going to be an emotional chapter of SAMCRO's saga, so fans can only expect more bloodshed and major deaths in the show. "FX also announced that immediately following the premiere, a live post-show, "Anarchy Afterwords," will air," Variety reports.
Hosted by "Chelsea Lately's" Chris Franjola, "Anarchy Afterword" will be joining the trend with post-shows like "Talking Dead" for "Walking Dead" and "After Hours" for "Bates Motel. "Sons of Anarchy" season 7 will premiere on Sept. 9 at 10 P.M. on FX.

Paul Robinson: The Schengen Files
The Schengen Files is a movie about my most recent trip to Europe. During the first three months of 2011 I was fortunate enough to climb in both Fontainbleau, France and Ticino, Switzerland. This video will document some of the hardest climbs I accomplished during the three month period. The video is planned to premiere later this Summer after it has been edited all together. This video is about the purity of climbing, the high level of psyche that I have for climbing at my limit, as well as the amazing rock that these areas have. This film was shot to document some of the hardest climbs I have ever done and to show my perceptions of the truly magnificent climbing within the confines of the Schengen Union.
Stay tuned for more updates and enjoy!

How to boost your WiFi speed by choosing the right channel March 26, 2015 at 2:18 pm
Some channels in WiFi routers are indeed much faster — but that doesn't mean you should go ahead and change them. Read on to find out more about interference and the massive difference between 2.4GHz and 5GHz WiFi.
Snapdragon 810: Can big.LITTLE keep the dream alive while Qualcomm works on Krait's successor? December 16, 2014 at 2:32 pm
In the lead-up to CES 2015, Qualcomm has revealed a few more details about its upcoming Snapdragon 810 SoC — the company's first flagship 64-bit chip, which will most likely power the top Android devices released in the first half of 2015. The Snapdragon 810 is an interesting chip for a number of reasons, but most notably it's first flagship Snapdragon S4/800 chip to not feature Qualcomm's own Krait CPU cores. Where is your own in-house 64-bit CPU core, Qualcomm?
Move aside twisted-pair Ethernet, it's time for WiFi to take the network reins December 3, 2014 at 2:47 pm
Ethernet, the wired LAN networking standard, has always been remarkably solid. In much the same way that WiFi has ruled wireless networking since its inception in 1997, Ethernet has always stayed the course, adopting and refining new technologies as required, but never ever diverging from the path. Unfortunately, it now seems that the calm, gradual, standardized updates to Ethernet might finally be coming to a close; there's a crack in the Ethernet monolith, and ironically it's all WiFi's fault.
What is 802.11ax WiFi, and do you really need a 10Gbps connection to your laptop? June 18, 2014 at 3:29 pm
If you thought that your new 802.11ac router's max speed of 1,300Mbps was pretty crazy, think again: With 802.11ac fully certified and out the door, the Wi-Fi Alliance has started looking at its successor, 802.11ax — and how does 2Gbps from the router to your smartphone sound to you?
Linksys WRT1900AC review: Fast, easy to set up, and every feature you can imagine April 16, 2014 at 2:45 pm
The original blue-and-black Linksys WRT54G wireless router, released way back in 2002, holds an odd place in my heart. On the one hand, it was cheap and performed reasonably well, but on the other it also crashed regularly and was a pain in the ass to set up. Fortunately, 11 years on, things have changed a bit. The WRT1900AC, the spiritual successor to the WRT54G, is one of the fastest routers on the market, easy to configure, stable, fun to use, and attractive. The only real downside that I could find is that the WRT1900AC is definitely not cheap and cheerful like the WRT54G: Priced at $280, the WRT1900AC is a serious piece of high-spec hardware — with perhaps just a small price premium thanks to its prestigious forebear.
11 years on: Linksys cashes in on WRT54G popularity with overpriced WRT1900AC router January 16, 2014 at 9:38 am
Everyone remembers their first wireless router: The blue-and-black Linksys WRT54G. The way you fumbled with those ports. The way you left the admin password at its default setting. The way you tried, in vain, to get port forwarding to work. Now, 11 years later, to keep up with the popularity of 802.11ac and 802.11n, Linksys has announced the WRT54G's spiritual successor: The WRT 1900AC.
What will the PS4 and Xbox One redesigns look like? December 25, 2013 at 12:01 pm
The PS4 and Xbox One are fresh off the assembly line, and they're both incredibly popular this holiday shopping season. That feeling of novelty and excitement doesn't last long, though. After a while, sales will start to dip. Consoles will get discounted, and then the whole world starts to wonder when a redesign is coming out.
Nexus 5 released today: $350 (off-contract) for a KitKat-powered superphone October 31, 2013 at 2:57 pm
Google has announced the immediate release of the Nexus 5 smartphone, powered by Android 4.4 KitKat and the Snapdragon 800 SoC, available for just $350 or $400 off-contract (16GB and 32GB).
What is 802.11ac WiFi, and how much faster than 802.11n is it? July 11, 2013 at 11:24 am
Over the last few weeks, the first round of 802.11ac WiFi devices have started to emerge. In essence, 802.11ac is a supercharged version of 802.11n (the current WiFi standard that your smartphone and laptop probably use), offering link speeds ranging from 433 megabits-per-second (Mbps), all the way through to multiple gigabits per second. For more details on what 802.11ac is, and how it will eventually replace wired gigabit ethernet networking at home and in the office, read on.

My 10 Must-Have Summer Perennials
I am a hopeless collector of perennials. I can always find a spot in the garden for new additions. While I love trying new plants I have a few mainstays that I rely on for gorgeous flowers and foliage year after year.
Daylily (Hemerocallis sp.)
I'm excited that I now have developed 2 new varieties this year out of my daylily breeding program. I can't get enough of this old reliable favorite.
Hyssop Color Spires® Steel Blue (Agastache)
I love this plant. It has been a tremendous performer in my garden. No staking needed. After the flowers fade I cut back the old bloom stalks and it keeps on trucking.
Russian Sage (Perovskia atriplicifolia)
The wide drift at the farm is spectacular from mid May to late June. After the bloom I cut 25% off the top and it will flower again late August through September.
Mexican Sage 'Santa Barbara' (Salvia leucantha)
This plant is a mainstay in the late summer garden. It always gets comments from our visitors.
Summer Phlox (Phlox paniculata)
We trialed this variety Flame™ Purple last summer. It proved to be an excellent re-bloomer right through the intense heat we experienced in July and August.
Lamb's Ear 'Helen von Stein' (Stachy byzantine)
'Helen von Stein' has grown in the garden at the Garden Home Retreat for the last 5 years. Love the giant leaves and fuzzy texture.
Artemisia 'Powis Castle'
The frilly foliage looks great with Supertunia® Royal Velvet and Superbena® Royal Chambray Verbena.
Coral Bells (Heuchera sp.)
Heucheras are beautiful as singular sensations in containers. Plant 1 variety per pot. Many of the newer heucheras like Dolce® Key Lime Pie can take a half day of sun.
Variegated Solomon's Seal (Polygonatum odoratum 'Variegatum')
The arching stems are a graceful addition to a shade border. Looks great poking up through hosta and ferns. Here I've combined it with Spanish bluebells (Hyacinthoides hispanica).
Hosta are such a versatile plant. I use them in containers on my screened porch.
Hardy Cyclamen (Cyclamen hederifolium)
Subtle yet inspiring. I so enjoy seeing their pink blooms in autumn when the leaves begin to fall from the trees.
Chinese Ginger (Asarum splendens a.k.a. Hexastylis splendens)
This is a great low growing plant for shade. So easy and beautiful – I love foliage plants and this is a good one.

Is there a way to print this (with the photos). I'd like to take this to my nursery and do some shopping! I do not see a print option for this article. Thank you.
I just added print stylesheet that will strip out all of the unnecessary stuff when you go to print. All you have to do is go to 'File' and choose 'Print…' using your browser.
Let me know if that works for you.
– Caleb
Hey annie, just right click on picture and then click on "save as" When you have it in your picture file, print the picture just like any other picture. Jan
To print – Ctrl P and you will get what you need. You can do this on most anything if no print buttom. Good luck. Just so you know, this article is 15 pages long.
Go to the top line and click (left) highlight what you want to print and, go to file click print when the printer page comes up click selection and then print. Hope that is clear enough….LOL. I'm not the best at explaining.
Linda says: June 6, 2011 at 1:20 pm.
I posted this earlier, but in the wrong section.
I tried two different ways of printing and both worked beautifully, maybe it will work for you too.
Suggestion #1: Highlight only what you want to print, on the "file" drop down menu click print. When the print options opens, click "selection", and print. It will only print what you have highlighted. One plant and it's description will take up 3/4 of your page.
Suggestion #2: Highlight only what you want, right click and copy your selection to a word processing program. Adjust the word doc as needed. Print. This will take up as much or as little as you desire, since you can adjust the plant picture to the size you like.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for asking about having the setup for printing.
I bought a few Hardy Cyclamen bulbs . The where bluming last fall for weeks . If I find more in a catalog I will buy more the are so beautiful late in the fall when the days get gloomy here.
I tried printing but it included the comments section also. Is there a way to just print the text and pictures but not the comments. Although they are interesting I do not need to save them. It was 11 pages and two were from comments.
highlight and copy the sections you want and paste to a document and print that.
Hi Allen…. I, too, just finished printing this lovely article. It took 12 pages…. ONE plant picture per page, but it also had the "heading" of the next plant on the prior page! Guess I'll just have to manually "cut and paste" with my scissors this time (big smile headed your way!) When you have time, I would love to see an article similar this this one regarding Hydrangeas. Thanks bunches for all your information and a big hug is headed your way.
Sallie in Dallas, Texas
I tried the 'file' & 'print'. I would have ended up with 15 pages. Any other suggestions?
Lou, read comment to Annie
What a great email to read during lunch at work!!!
Thanks for the suggestions, the info and the awesome pictures!!
Keep your emails coming…please.

I'm so glad I'm on your e-mail list, Allen. I've been trying to find a pretty perennial for my shady yard. I especially like the Variegated Soloman's Seal and Hardy Cyclamen. Now, if I can just find them at one of the local nurseries. Can you also recommend a pretty flowering perennial that blooms in red flowers for shade in zone 6?
I've been seeing a lot more Russian Sage planted with Daylilies along the highways, and in the barren strips at intersections in Maryland. They look beautiful alone or together, and I can appreciate how hardy they are to handle these neglected spots. I'm glad you shared these in a list, it's always nice to see people's perennial collections!
This is a great list and I find it amusing that two of the "plants I'll never plant again" are on the sun list (artmesia and lamb's ear) but that's really because they performed TOO well. A few of my favorites are also listed, but we're not going to let you off the hook so easily: we're going to need lists of your favorite daylilies and your favorite hostas in the future!

... lunch!! This time in a modern little bar, almost like a tapas bar, in Porto. Very nice. Then they decided to take us on a little excursion down the coast to a coastal town, Alveiro. It is where there is a huge water inlet, like a massive harbour. It is a port, and lots of fishing. Called the Venice of Portugal as there are canals, and gondola like boats for tourism! All charming. And we drove along the water where there are many striped houses, which was ...

Spanish on the phone. Thank goodness for a information desk person who was
willing to help us on the phone. We took a taxi to the apartment and my initial
impressions of Lisbon is that is was really different then anywhere we had seen
in spain and anywhere I had been in Europe before. We got to the apartment
which is situated right in the middle of the historic center of Lisbon. The

... because I knew that I would be exploring the historical Alfama district soon. We zipped past advertisements for Kentucky Fried Chicken and Justin Timberlake concerts.
A half hour later came my stop, Baixa. As soon as I emerged from steep tunnel out of the metro, a wave of comfort overcame me. It was sunny, and the sky was this piercing, unforgettable light blue that I had lived with while I studied in Aix-en-Provence. The weather was mild indeed. ...

There are three mountain bikes available to us. We think they may need a tune-up before riding, we think we all may need a tune-up before riding and decide our legs will carry us. It would be safer for all if we stick to this plan.
Dinner is late and light, cards are played, plans made for tomorrow. It isn't long before the house is very quiet.

In this video you will be introduced to Lamri. A self made man with a great love for riding. Lamri Adjis ('84) is a young filmmaker, a part-time barista and more important: one of the organizers of Rotje Rond. Rotje Rond organizes races and other bike events in and around Rotterdam. He is a passionate fixed gear rider who's addicted to the world of the fixed-gear cycling. A fixed-gear bicycle (or fixed-wheel bicycle, commonly known as a fixie) is a bicycle that has a drive-train with no freewheel mechanism. More recently the 'fixie' has become a popular alternative among mainly urban cyclists, and is thereby also called 'the hipster bike'. This short video provides a short introduction in this fixed-gear cycling world, and gives an honest portrait about this passionate rider.

Well that didn't last long, did it?
I betcha your interest peaked too when you heard floppy-haired Hugh Grant was looking to replace Charlie Sheen over on "Two and-a-Half Men", right?
Great idea…. might have even worked (though personally I don't see the show surviving any longer than a season without it's original drawcard).
Liz Hurley's former bed bud was approached a few weeks back to replace Chuck – who, despite still being on a 'winning' streak, was fired and even after he begged for his job back, was sent away – on the top-rating sitcom. Up until this week it looked like a goer.
The "Four Weddings & A Funeral" star was apparently offered $1 million dollars an episode. The deal fell through. A scooper tells Deadline, "It was not the money. He didn't want to do TV because those 24 episodes are a grind and a lot of work. At the end he couldn't get his head around doing a series." Another insider tells us that, if Grant committed, "the show could have gotten another 3 to 4 more seasons".
So who else can they come up with? What's Anson Williams doing these days?

S. Gauranitica Black & Blue bloom in the Northeast
one of my S. Black & Blues has sent up a large flower
spike with two buds getting ready to open up. I was just hoping to keep it alive until I can put it back out in the spring. What a wonderful pick-me-up this is especially since our temp.right now is 4 degrees F. (about -15 C.)
and about 12 inches of snow on the ground. Since it is starting to bloom and put on some new growth, should I start watering with a weak solution of fertilizer or continue with plain water until spring arrives? This is the first time overwintering a salvia inside the house.
Yes, they sometimes bloom. They can grow several feet inside the house without any help from fertilizer. The problem comes in May when it is time to put them out. Even here in south Jersey the tall tender shoots grown out of the weather are often damaged by May's cold winds, more than once I've ended up with some very messy plants. Not that you're likely to kill them, because if Black & Blue is nothing else, it tough and vigorous. Why not enjoy the winter blooms, then cut it down to 6 inches or a foot at planting time. Sure you'll lose the early bloom, but the plants will look a lot better later in the season.
Thanks wardw for your experience. Usually i only get replies from the folks down south and California which is fine but it is nice to know that I am not the only one here in the northeast that tries to overwinter tender perennials. actually this is the first time I have tried to overwinter my salvias and I have 7 of them that I am trying to keep going until spring 3 of them are Black and Blues and one is a new hybrid of my black & blue then I have 2 greggis and one microphylla all grown from seed last summer except the large one that is starting to rebloom
I bought the Black and Blue salvia this past summer. Little did I know I could have left it in the ground over the Winter if I mulched it heavily! I have the tubers in the basement and my theory is if I can leave it in the ground, then less work for me! I bet I dug up at least 100 tubers off from one plant. Do they reproduce after they are initially planted? I thought they were only annuals in my area and they had stopped flowering so I was digging them up to put in the compost bin! Good thing I saw the tubers!
I wouldn't count on their hardiness in zone 5. Some years here at the border of zone 6-7 they don't come back. As a hedge I always bring one plant inside. I've been thinking about keeping one in a very large pot all summer so I don't have to dig it up each fall. A zone 4 friend says he has much better luck with potted B&Bs than he does with planted ones; they bloom sooner and grow bigger. He also has a very damp yard, and more than cold, it's damp that kills salvias.
This species not only has tubers, but stolons and stems with `eyes'. The tuber alone and with the stem trimmed off is unlikely to regenerate a plant in spring. Its best to leave ample stem and some stolons connected to the tuber. Some roots also help.
Also, pine voles feast on the tubers, following mole tunnels. I work in crushed rock into the soil to deter diggers.
wardw...Oh...you HAVE to know...once I found B&B salvia locally, it bought about 6 plants! The one I put in the ground actually grew taller and bigger than the ones I potted BUT the ones I potted also grew quite big. We get a few hummers and they went crazy over the stuff! We have a very limited selection of flowers in my area as nurseries are limited and if I want anything more exotic than marigolds, petunias and geraniums, I pot them. Ohhhh to live in a warmer climate and have a longer growing season....
Last year was my first black and blue. Last fall discovering it had tubers, I potted it in a rather shallow bulb type container lined with plastic. Actually it was a white wicker basket about 5 inches deep and 15" in diameter with a plastic liner used by florist for flower arranging. It died back, then about a month ago started (in my dark cold storag. room) sending up shoots. So I have been taking off about 6 inch lengths and sticking them back in the 16" bulb pan with the mother. I cover each group with a plastic bottle and water that particular area. While cleaning kitchen cupboards I removed a round spice rack which made a perfect turntable for easy turning under my flourescent light. At this point none of the new growth is over 6" tall. So far I have about 30 cuttings coming in 5 different areas in the bulb pan. (Babies galore)!!) Isn't gardening fun!!!
What a cool idea jamlover! I did have to cut my big one back here recently. It has been growing like a weed since my inital post. I cut about have dozen stems back and have rooted those so that is six new plants plus the main plant and the new stems that are shooting up around the rim of the pot plus 1 baby from seed that I must have missed that fell in the container. Looks like i will have enough B&B plants this year to play with.
Penny, make sure you save that baby. With a little luck, you might have something quite different. You might just have the next great guarantica, and the wait for the first bloom can be exciting. Make sure you pass some of these plants along to your friends; that's how I got mine, and that original gift sparked an interest in salvias of all kinds. Many of them are very easy to propagate, a half dozen species are now growing well in my semi-heated back porch, with another half dozen to arrive soon.
Wait a minute, I take it all back! Now that I write it down its perfectly obvious I'm suffering from some kind of addiction. Expose those Black & Blues to subzero temperatures, get to the mall as quickly as possible, and buy something plastic that won't hold soil, otherwise.....
The one baby that seems to be a hybrid did actually bloom close to the end of the summer. Here is a picture of it although it is a bit on the blurry side as I was trying to get a closeup of the bloom but you can see how different the color is from the Black & Blue. The tip of the flower is almost devoid of color and gradually goes to a pale lavender and then darker in the center. It is also much shorter and it has somewhat smaller leaves but the same texture. I will be anxious to see how it develops this summer and how much height it actually attains.
I'm sure there are some of us who would like to try it if it does well for you; it sounds like a nice flower. Did the leaves have that same cat box smell is B&B? From what I read out there, gaurantica's scent is quite variable; certainly others could tell you more about that.
I got my B&B from a fall trade with garden friend.I'm just a southern lurker.I got intrested in salvias last year.I was surprised to see it stayed evergreen for me.my others didn't,but have seeds in those spots sprouting under the mulch I seen.She sent me some turkish sage also& some other kind.(grayish whooly leaves.has sat same spot same condition it arrived in)I grew some forest fire from Winns(or close isUK seed)I really liked it.grew woody and had to stake.I liked the dark stem contrast.And have a red autuam sage.I cook with it some& have moved it 3 times and think might possibly be happy where its at.it gets part shade now,not full sun.
I've seen lots of pics of B&B.I like the color& google showed a pale light blue and called it B&B it had dark stems.Was that correct?the leaves looked the same.I ran the serach durring the summer when she said would save me a B&B plant for fall.I never found info on the turkish(purple leaves)

What tree is this?
savingferrisAugust 23, 2014
Would someone be able to identify this tree for me? I'm in central florida and have been seeing them quite a bit lately. I believe I must have been mistaking them for oak trees up until I really noticed one. They seem to grow wide or tall like an oak depending on the location of other trees around them. Unfortunately the one I saw today was covered in vines; so I just grabbed a small branch to photograph. I cut one of the small green things in half and it had kind of a strong almost minty smell to it.
Compare with the Asian tree in this link:

Competition Laws: Microsoft 7 without IE in Europe
The European Commission ruling is having an affect: Microsoft will market its new operating system in Europe without Internet Explorer.
In his blog, Microsoft lawyer and Vice President Dave Heiner, says the company was "working to fulfill its legal obligations in Europe for Windows 7" and goes on to explain how a pending legal case has raised concerns about the level of competition among browsers in Europe. He writes that Microsoft "must comply with European competition law" and adds " we've decided that instead of including Internet Explorer in Windows 7 in Europe, we will offer it separately."
Manufacturers have been informed of Microsoft's plans in an effort to keep the targeted release date of October 22. As a means of identification, the European version of Windows 7 will have an E added to the title. Manufacturers have also been told to install a browser of their choice so users can begin to surf the web immediately after purchase.
In an interview with the legal platform Groklaw, a member of the European Commission described the move as "a step in the right direction, but far from enough." and the Microsoft attorney already has a guess. Heiner writes further, "Our decision to only offer IE separately from Windows 7 in Europe cannot, of course, preclude the possibility of alternative approaches emerging through Commission processes."
In February 2008 the Commission served Microsoft a record fine of $900 million for breaking European competition rules. The reason was the tight linking of software applications to the operating system, making it difficult for competitors to develop alternatives. In January 2009, after a complaint by the browser company Opera, the European Commission again warned Microsoft its browser was too closely connected to Windows. The complaint was supported by the Free Software Foundation Europe, Google and Mozilla.

The administration at Ooltewah High School didn't waste any time finding a new wrestling coach.
Wendell Weathers announced last week that he was stepping aside after 13 years as the head coach to become the Dean of Students for the Owls.
Bryant Blackmon was introduced as the new head coach on Friday afternoon.
Blackmon is a 28-year-old former state champion who won the 171-pound title as a senior at Bradley after finishing as runner-up in 2003.
He followed older brother Rusty to Oklahoma State where he was a member of the Cowboys' wrestling team when they won a pair of NCAA championships. He transferred back to UTC after his sophomore year where he later graduated with a degree in Finance. He added a Masters degree from Lincoln Memorial in Curriculum and Instruction a few years later.
Blackmon was the head coach at Greenback for two years before coming back to Cleveland where he has been an assistant coach at Walker Valley for the past four years. He wasn't really looking to leave Walker Valley, but when the opportunity presented itself, he couldn't say no.
"I'm really excited as it was a great opportunity for me to take over a well-established program," Blackmon explained Friday afternoon after meeting his newest team for the first time.
"I'm sad to be leaving a great group of guys at Walker Valley. I was happy where I was and I knew that it would have to be the perfect situation for me to leave. Ooltewah is the perfect place for me.
"I came down to meet the guys this afternoon and they seem to be motivated," Blackmon added.
He's been teaching Computer Applications at Walker Valley, but he'll be an Economics teacher at Ooltewah.
Jim Jarvis is the principal at Ooltewah who was part of the group who interviewed Blackmon. He feels like it's a great opportunity for all parties involved.
"It's great news that Bryant Blackmon has accepted the offer to be our next wrestling coach," Jarvis said Friday afternoon.
"We're truly blessed to have a man like him take over in this position. Wendell Weathers did a great job of taking this program to the next level and we feel confident that Bryant will continue that process. We want to continue the progress that Wendell started and feel like Bryant is the one to do that.
"Bryant is a class person. He's a quality teacher and outstanding wrestling coach. We're looking for big things from him," Jarvis said.
Blackmon has served under head coach Alan Morris for the past four years, but their background goes way back before that as Morris was his coach in the Bradley Kids Club.
"I'm happy for Bryant and I know that he'll do a good job. If that's the route he wants to take, I'm 100 percent behind him. I've known him since he was a little kid and he's a good guy. We'll miss him, but I feel sure that he's ready to put Ooltewah back on the map in wrestling," Morris offered.
Blackmon and his wife Meghan are expecting their first child in June.

My mother, Helen Exum, went to be with the Lord in late August of last year and, in the way folks do, I was going through some of her files last week when I ran across an envelope with my name on it. Inside was a story and written in her hand were the words, "This is a wonderful story for you to tell!" Not being one to disobey my mother and not about to waylay the wishes of the ...

Go study databases. Its totally not the most boring topic to ever grace IT
I think you're thinking of Belfast.
Paddy or Patrick or Padraig
Never Patty.
I havnt a notion what you mean by the fleur and the sunny day so Im going to take offence and challenge you to fisticuffs
You arnt exempt from my wrath either
Why did Oscar Pistorius come to mind when I read this?
This may be the best sports weekend of my life.
Ireland won
Liverpool won
Ulster won
Galway won
Cavan won
The madness of this. This is the first win O'Connell seen since he began at age 22.
What a send off for BoD!
What a start for Schmidt.
:wub: hes out cold
With my Ireland jeasey and a pint of Gunness
I will do the same to you as to Oda
Long as its not Pattys your golden.
And funny you should mention that cause I sent this text:
"Apparently alcohol kills gains"
Only last week :surprise:
I plan on gyming heavily during...
Apparently its actually spelt Askeaton
Anywhere near Eskeeten?
2:30 by private (which is quite comfortable). 3:30 with bus eireann.
Never go Bus Eireann. Ever.
Shots fired.
Are you from the city or country part of Limerick?
Im out tomorrow night probably then I dont know about sunday then probably town on monday til bus then Galway on monday night probably then break then Wednesday and probably thursday.
Ya I am. Bus back to Galway at 6:30 on Monday so I'll see. I might in all.
If I was in Galway now Id have a litre of vodka, 3/4 litre of spiced rum and a naggin of absinthe looking at me.
Tomorrow if/when Ireland win celebration will be had.
I have a Canadian here. Its become a favourite of mine lately.
Id have a grand aul laugh at that.
What would get to me is the Yanks asking me to say Top O the Morning or Where are me lucky charms.
What are you drinking? Opening a can dosent actually sound...
Its not what you drink its how you drink it ;)
Say it enough times it might be true.
I think so. The international community seems to like us.
Tis a good sign when even China has festivities on St Patricks Day.
I will find you and literally bury you and everything you love under a mountain of patty meat if you call us "pattys" again.
But like ye I have no qualms with Francie in the Vatican at the...
Cause border counties are passionate about this stuff
One of my friends was introducing me to this fella she knew from back home and she was like "He's from Cavan so its like kinda the North". Me...
Im far from oblivious to the oppression of catholic communities or to the atrocities by both sides but your last line sums it up nicely
Its a fairly sore topic.
You wernt hated for being Protestant or Catholic but for where that insinuated your allegiance lay.
Its not a matter of religion.
The maths course is a load of bollocks. If you dont need higher maths I wouldnt suggest keeping it on cause its just a massive timesink.
What do you mod? In what respect.
No. No. No. No. No.
Its Paddys, or Patricks or if your feeling extra irish Padraig.
Never Patties.
Richard Bruton on today about making Ireland an ICT haven. 1000's of unfilled jobs and so on. Fills the Comp Sci courses right up. And then we get like a 60% average national dropout rate.
Enquire with college reps and college councillors about courses that interest you. I will say that its a bad idea to pursue a course based on money alone cause in my experience you just wont be...
I didnt know for sure til the start of my final year. I considered:
Psychiatry, Dentistry, General Science, Computer Science, History, Geology, Commerce and the list goes on.
Yea I remember that feel. Oh the paranoia. Have I chosen the right college? Will I find out that UCD/DCU/Trinity is so much better? Is my course worthless? Oh yes. I was sure that I had made a...
NUIG is good for Science. And its really no colder than the rest of the country. And when its hot going to Salthill is awesome.
Im not trying to be a shill for NUIG here but when it come to living...
All the craic is had when there are no girls to make you worry about keeping appearances :P
NUIG is great. I just love the place. What are you hoping to do? What year are you?
For this country we practically are.
Carrigallen. Oh jaysus. I'll say no more :P
I went to St Pats.
Im from Denn so if your from the town we live about 15 minutes from each other. Which is...
What are the chances that two people on a relatively quiet subforum on an American site for a relatively lesser known game in Ireland meet and are from the same smallish county?
Yes I am from Cavan
