Another Opening Day of Spring Training
The slate of Spring Training games started for the Red Sox on Feb. 27. But in essence, today is the true start.
This represents the closest thing manager John Farrell has had to an Opening Day lineup.
Sizemore, Pedroia, Ortiz, Napoli, Nava, Victorino (Spring Training debut), Bogaerts, Pierzynski, Middlebrooks. And Jon Lester, who is all but certain to start on Opening Day, is making his first Grapefruit League start.
"We're starting to get what shapes up to be our regular roster back on the field. And as we talked about yesterday, this next turn through the rotation we'll have all of our projected starters on the mound," said manager John Farrell. "Clay did an outstanding job yesterday and I think the more we get that continuity from the starting staff, as we'll achieve here in spring training, I think it sets the tone for everything else. and the fact that we get Vic on the field today for the first time, this is definitely a positive step."
What is Farrell looking to accomplish over the final three weeks of Spring Training?
"To get all of our starters built up to the appropriate number of pitches inside of a given game," Farrell said. "To make sure our everyday players have gotten there 55 to 65 at-bats in camp. That Vic gets on the field with regularity and gets past some of the physical challenges, the physical challenges. And not just Vic, but any of our guys getting past the physical challenges that they face. And then for us to get a more accurate read on where Grady Sizemore is."
Toward that end, Sizemore will start again on Tuesday, marking the first time he'll go back-to-back this spring.
John Farrell also confirmed that the way his rotation is lined up now is likely the way it will be to start the season. Jon Lester, John Lackey, Felix Doubront, Jake Peavy and Clay Buchholz.
Saturday's Sox report
The Red Sox played their first road game of Spring Training today, albeit just a few minutes up the road to play the Twins. Here were the significant events.
Nava drills one from the right side: Daniel Nava hadn't faced a live pitcher since the World Series last year when he stepped to the plate for his first at-bat on Saturday. It ended with the left fielder pummeling a homer over the wall in left against Scott Diamond. The most significant thing about it was that it came from the right side. Nava has been a far superior left-handed hitter over the years, so it could make him an even more valuable player if he can start contributing as a right.
Last season, he hit .322 with 10 homers, a .411 on-base percentage and .484 slugging percentage against righties. Against lefties, he hit .252 with two homers and a .311 on-base percentage and .336 slugging percentage.
"I'll take any of them — left-handed, right-handed — it doesn't matter," Nava said. "But, obviously, I know I have work to do from the right side. Any time I can put together a good at-bat, whether the result is a home run or not, that for me is what I'm trying to allow one of the things of Spring Training to be about."
Britton looks like he belongs: Drake Britton looks like he means business this spring. In his first outing on Saturday, he punched out the first three hitters he faced, and four out of seven, giving up just one hit. Assuming Andrew Miller, Craig Breslow and Chris Capuano are all on the team, whch seems likely, that leaves Britton without a roster spot.
However, the Red Sox don't want him thinking about that.
"Do just what I've been doing," Britton said. "I've been told, 'Don't change a thing,' just keep doing what I'm doing, and that's what I'm focused on."
Pierzynski even booed in Spring Training: The one thing the Red Sox haven't had in recent years is a player who gets booed all the time on the road. Don't be surprised to see A.J. Pierzynski get his share of jeers. As has been well-chronicled, he is one of those players the opponent loves to hate. Pierzynski even heard it from the fans at Hammond Stadium on Saturday as he stepped in for his first at-bat. Pierzynski played along, tipping his cap..
"Whatever," said Pierzynski. "It's fine … [I] expect nothing less. It's fine, just one of those funny moments. It's good."
Webster still trying to prove himself: When Allen Webster arrived last spring, he dazzled everyone by throwing in the upper 90s. However, he might have set himself back. Webster was trying to impress his new team, so he sacrificed command for velocity. Today, Webster still looked like he was trying to find himself, displaying some of that same spotty location that marked his abbreviated stints with the Red Sox last year.
It could just be a case of Webster trying to refine some of his new mechanics.
"Delivery-wise, he was a guy who went over his head with his hands and was a little bit stagnant with his movement, where he'd begin his delivery and pause at the top with his hands at the top of his delivery," said Farrell.
And how will that adjustment help him?
"It takes the tension out of his shoulders and, in some ways, it's comparable to when Clay [Buchholz] made the adjustment, as well," said Farrell. "You would see Clay begin a game — every pitcher — as they're trying to get into the flow of the game, there's anxiety and there's some uncertainty — and that translates to some tension.
"The key with Clay was, let's work to get the first ground ball on the infield. Then, you could see the tension come out. This is taking it out naturally by the adjustment in delivery. It just feels more loose and fluid."
Grady gets a hit: Grady Sizemore played for the second time in three days, and belted a single to right and the last of this three at-bats. The plan is for Sizemore to get two down days and then resume action on Tuesday. However, Farrell said Sizemore could then get another break from game action after that game. The Red Sox are obviously trying to find the right balance to keep Sizemore healthy.
Quip of the day: Johnny Manziel — A K A Johnny Football — paid a visit to Red Sox camp in the morning as part of a sponsorship appearance.
"Maybe he'll come take over for Tom Brady," said A.J. Pierzynski, who then added, "I'm joking, I'm joking!!
Sunday's activity: Felix Doubront makes his first start on Sunday. Edward Mujica, who could be a key man in the bullpen, makes his debut. Regulars Dustin Pedroia, Will Middlebrooks, Mike Napoli, David Ortiz, Xander Bogaerts and Jonny Gomes should all see action.
Wrapup from first Grapefruit League game
The Red Sox had another first today, facing Major League competition for the first time. The opponent? The Minnesota Twins.
Prospect dazzles: The most noteworthy development was the lasers that purred out of Anthony Ranaudo's right hand. The top prospect mowed down all six Twins hitters he faced, striking out four of them.
Ranaudo doesn't come across as cocky. But he does have the type of confidence that is usually necessary to succeed at the Major League level.
"I don't really want to say I was surprised, but maybe a little surprised because some of them were up in the zone, even some early in the count. Obviously I've got to do a better job of bringing the ball down, but I wouldn't say I was surprised," Ranaudo said. "That's what I'm going for every time I go out there — either swing and misses or weak contact or getting outs. I don't like to use the word surprised, but I guess maybe in that context, some of them were up in the zone, but it felt good to get those swing-and-misses, for sure."
Miller rusty: Perhaps it shouldn't come as a surprise that Andrew Miller looked rusty pitching in a game for the first time since breaking his left foot on July 6 of last season. The lanky lefty walked three of the five batters he faced.
"It takes him some time to time up that delivery," said manager John Farrell. "Six-foot-eight, there's a lot of moving parts there. It's good for us to see him on the mound after coming off last early July because of the torn ligament in the foot. Spring Training is here to get him online."
Offense quiet: Aside from Mike Napoli, the Red Sox didn't have much to show in the way of offense. The cleanup man went 2-for-2. The other regulars who played, Jonny Gomes, Dustin Pedroia, David Ortiz, Xander Bogaerts and Will Middlebrooks, were all hitless. Farrell could only laugh when WBZ radio reporter Jonny Miller jokingly asked him if he was worried about the offense.
Saturday's info: A.J. Pierzynski will play his first game in a Boston uniform on Saturday against his original former team, the Minnesota Twins. Daniel Nava, slowed by a neck strain, will play his first game this spring. And Grady Sizemore will play for the second time in three days as he continues his comeback attempt.
Ellsbury reached out to Farrell
When free agents bolt for a new home — like Jacoby Ellsbury did back in December — you sometimes don't hear about the good-byes they have with their former organization.
Manager John Farrell noted this morning that Ellsbury called him shortly after signing his mega-deal with the Yankees, and it sounds like it was a good conversation.
"He called after the deal was agreed upon and to his credit, he called to say thanks," Farrell said. "I got the sense he was a little surprised it happened so fast and the magnitude that it happened. And I wished him well. We're certainly going to miss him but now he's on the other side. He handled it with a lot of class. He was very grateful for his time here and he gave thanks to the way things unfolded last year."
Farrell will see Ellsbury in person on March 18, when the Red Sox go to Tampa to play the Yankees. The Red Sox open a four-game series in the Bronx on April 10. But the more noteworthy meeting will come April 22, when the Yankees make their first visit to Fenway Park.
Odds and ends from college doubleheader
The Red Sox of 2014 have played baseball for the first time, albeit against college opponents Northeastern and Boston College.
Northeastern lefty has moment to remember: The most entertaining portion of the afternoon was when Northeastern lefty James Mulvy — a West Roxbury native and Boston Latin School graduate — struck out Dustin Pedroia and David Ortiz back-to-back.
Yes, the kid will have something to talk about when he holds court on the quad between classes this spring. And Ortiz doesn't blame him if he wants to brag.
"I was just trying to see if I could get a strike to hit or whatever. He ended up throwing me a nasty breaking ball, whatever it was. He can party tonight," Ortiz said.
Comeback story: It's doubtful Grady Sizemore will party tonight, but he has reason to be excited after playing his first baseball game since Sept. 22, 2011. Sizemore, an ongoing storyline this spring, went 0-for-2 in his debut.
"Exciting," said Sizemore. "I was looking forward to it for a couple of days now. I was happy to get out there and get back into games."
A more comfortable De La Rosa: Rubby De La Rosa, one of the pitchers the Red Sox got back in the August, 2012 blockbuster with the Dodgers, appeared at ease in firing two shutout innings against BC. The righty has been working on his mechanics and is much more familiar with the organization than when he arrived in Fort Myers a year ago.
"I just see a more relaxed guy on the mound," said John Farrell. "Yeah, I think the second year past, or second year of pitching further away from Tommy John is going to lend to that. He's come into camp I thought in pretty good shape physically. And all those things combined, I think it was a product of what we saw today."
A Workman-like effort: After what he did under fire last season, Brandon Workman would be almost a sure thing to make most rosters this spring. But the Red Sox are loaded in the pitching department and there might have to be an injury for Workman to make the team out of Spring Training. He was solid against Northeastern, firing two clean innings.
"It's a tribute to the focus and the concentration that he's gained a reputation of coming through the system, what he showed last year in the two different roles in which he pitched," Farrell said. "And today he comes out, he attacks the strike zone, showed a good breaking ball. I think in addition to him, overall, it was a good day on the mound."
Tomorrow's activity: The Red Sox open the Grapefruit League portion of their schedule on Friday, when the Twins make the short bus ride to JetBlue Park. Anthony Ranaudo, the talented righty Pedro Martinez touted earlier in the week, will draw the start against the Twins. Manager John Farrell said the entire starting infield of Mike Napoli, Dustin Pedroia, Xander Bogaerts and Will Middlebrooks will be in the lineup.
Werner goes around the horn
Red Sox Chairman Tom Werner held court on a variety of topics this morning with the media. Here is a rundown.
On the future of Fenway: "Well, I don't know when is going to be the last day they're going to play baseball at fenway but it will be after we retire. We continue to do improvements every year for the ballpark and I think it's one of the great places to watch a sporting event, I expect it will be there for many more decades."
Turning the page: We just got out of a meeting with John Farrell and I think that as much we appreciate what happened last year, the focus is on 2014, what we're going to do now. The team has come to work and John Farrell said let's think about not the last out of the World Series last year but how we approach the year, how we approach the first day of Spring Training and so I think as much as we can sort of appreciate what we did last year, we're all focused on today and tomorrow."
Difference from this time last year? "A lot different. Last year I think people thought we had taken a stupid pill. What john said is true. This is an extraordinarily close group of guys who almost, to a man, they came to work early this year. they're prepared, they're focused. Obviously we're very proud of what we did last year. I think John said it right today, the focus is on today and tomorrow and getting off to a good start in April and we'll see how we go."
Goal of the franchise: "I think our focus has to be to put competitive teams on the field every year. it's obviously a challenge. People are, we have a mark on our back this year. but I don't think we're thinking too much beyond getting the team prepared and getting off to a good start. Our goal is the same – just to see if we can be competitive on Labor Day and see if we can play postseason baseball."
Team's philosophy on putting together a team: "Well I think first of all, we don't think that necessarily spending the most money always produces a winner. obviously we're probably in the top three or four teams each year in terms of our payroll. I think that we have a great organization. I think Ben, I think we all know that the moves Ben made last year at the beginning of the year in terms of how we put this team together was probably part of the reason that we won. It wasn't that we went out and signed one player for 150 or 200 million dollars. I think that obviously that started with the decision we all made to shed payroll the year before with the dodgers and re-deploy it and I'm not saying that the Yankees aren't going to be very competitive this year. They've got an extraordinarily good team but I like our chances."
This team's likability: "Well I think Ben and John put together an enormously likeable and talented group of people last year that I think they were focused on winning. I think that we didn't have a period where we lost more than three games in a row all year. as much as we remember the great moments in the world series, the Victorino home run, the Ortiz home run, each night it was something kind of special. When Mike Carp hit that grand slam [at Tampa Bay]. So I just think it maybe a cliché but this is a really good group of guys. they perform well on the field, they perform well in the community. I thought the way they addressed the families and the people who suffered through the marathon day bombings, they didn't do that because somebody told them to do that. they did that because, to a man, they felt that sort of connection and responsibility. You guys know. you're around them as much as I am. This is an extraordinary group of people."
What was most impressive?"There were so many things that impressed me. I was impressed by Koji Uehara coming in every night and being lights out. I was impressed by Clay Buchholz coming back from an injury. And the way John Lackey, you all talked about it, the way that John Lackey sucked it up for such a long time then performed such a great role through the postseason. There were so many things that were impressive. I think it probably starts with John Farrell. We thought last March, a year ago today or whenever it was he spoke to the team, that there was just something how eloquent he was how articulate he was, that we were going to surprise people. I think last year is behind us but he was just as eloquent today."
On Jerry Remy's return to the broadcast booth: "I think what we said to Jerry at the time was we just offered him our support after a tragedy and said there is a place for you if and when you want to come back. This is going to be a very personal decision but you have a home here at NESN if and when you feel it's appropriate to come back. We're delighted he's back. We know he's very mindful of the tragedy but I think he's excited about returning to the booth."
On Jenny Dell not being the sideline reporter for NESN anymore after acknowledging she is dating third baseman Will Middlebrooks: "I think that we talk about it internally because I think Jenny is a terrific reporter. And I think we came to the conclusion and Jenny came to the same conclusion that it would be a distraction for her to be a reporter and so she's moving on. I think that it wasn't sort of a black and white decision because, can she sort of divorce her personal life from being a professional? But we decided in the end it was probably better for her to move on and not be a distraction."
Dell might move on from NESN, or be re-assigned: "She's looking for other opportunities."
Red Sox weigh in on Jeter's retirement
Sometimes you learn the most about a player from what his top rival thinks of him.
Several Red Sox players, and manager John Farrell, commented on Jeter announcing he will retire after the 2014 season.
John Farrell:
"In some ways, bittersweet. I think we all have enjoyed watching him play, the way he's carried himself, the way he's performed in between the lines. And yet you realize that players don't go on forever. I guess in a word, he epitomizes the word professional, in just the success he's had and the way he's conducted himself on and off the field in a city like New York and to do it in the style that he has — he's synonymous with winning and just a Yankee legend."
How about game-planning against Jeter?
"Oh, like many good hitters, you couldn't take the same approach each time.You had to find ways to stay ahead of him and his thought process. He was just a model of consistency. When you think of the guy, he's 10th on the all-time hit list, he's 120 to becoming the number six guy. All things wrapped up in one, you're talking about elite performance, durability, long-term career, multi-world champion. He sets the bar for the way guys go about their game."
Jeter's last regular season game will be at Fenway Park.
"If it wasn't in New York, maybe it's fitting that it's in Boston given the number of series he's played both regular season, postseason — he was in the middle of a rivalry for 20 years. "
Clay Buchholz:
"A little bit surprised, but the guy has done about as much as he can do in this game and … First-ballot Hall of Famer. Growing up idolizing him as a player, he was the ideal shortstop, it was fun to get to pitch to him a couple times I got to. And also fun to watch what he could do."
"He was as down to earth as down to earth gets. For somebody to be the captain of that team and that franchise for as long as he was there, being able to keep everything on an even-keel, do everything as a professional, it was pretty special.
"He was obviously always a threat first pitch of the game — you saw him a number of times hit the first pitch of the game out of the park. Oo I had to spot up pitch and hopefully get him to chase something out of the zone. That's what's hard about him – everybody says his hole is down and away, but you see how many hits he gets to the opposite field, so he's just a tough guy to pitch to overall, and just a really good baseball player."
Farewell tour, "I have no idea. I'm sure it's going to be really special. There wasn't one person in the game that disliked him in any way. He'll get the best of everything at every park he goes through throughout the season. It's what he deserves too. I wish him the best of luck."
Last regular season game for jeter at Fenway: "It's going to be crazy. There's not going to be any boos in the stadium. He's going to be treated well in his farewell. It'll be a special day for everybody."
Interactions with Jeter: "When they're taking BP he'll pass me, that's basically how it's been. The last couple years it's, 'Hey Buch, how you doing? Good start last night,' or whatever. It's never been sit-down dinner or anything but he's always been really personable to me."
"His consistency speaks for itself. The type of he player he was to everyone, whether you were a rookie or 10-year vet. I know for me, he knew that was my first season in 2010, he said congrats and everything like that. It means a lot when it's your first time. We had a lot of rookies on the team and they all said the same thing."
"Clutch. As clutch as they come. I think everyone admires a guy like that, who can do what he does in the regular season and then obviously in the postseason on the biggest stage, and he did that consistently."
"I think at least for my generation, that's all you know. I'm sure prior generations can say the same about any great on any team, but certainly for the Yankees and a lot of guys that grew up watching Derek Jeter play for the extent that he's played.
Last reg. season game against Red Sox: "I haven't gone that far down the schedule yet. It's going to be a special day. I hope for his sake his last game would be at home in front of the Yankee faithful, but either way it's probably fitting that it's either at home for the Yankees or against the Red Sox.
"After the year he had last year, battling injuries, trying to come back, I don't know. He knows his body best. It's kind of sad to see this is his last year, but, my God. I mean, growing up, looking at a professional athlete, you'd probably want to take a good look at his career and how he handled it."
"Just the way he went about his business. He played for a big-market team that won five championships. He came to work every day and handled himself well. It's sad to see him go."
"I got to talk to him at my first All-Star game. If I don't really know you, I'm not going to go up to you and try to talk to you or anything. But I definitely watched the way he played and the way he went about his business.
"It's crazy. The run they had. You looked at the Yankees, you looked at those guys."
Last game against Red Sox, "Someone like that, one of the greatest Yankees, to be on the field with him for his last game would be pretty cool.
Facing him, "I was hoping he'd get himself out. I remember calling the game the way he stayed inside the ball. Hopefully he was getting himself out, rolling over a pitch or popping something up. He's always a tough out. You knew he was going to give you a tough at-bat every time up."
Farrell on Sizemore
Red Sox manager John Farrell knows Grady Sizemore rather well, considering they overlapped together in the Indians organization for several years when Farrell was farm director.
"We had a brief conversation, but it was more about getting a comfort level with what he's come off of with the knee injury and surgery, the opportunity and the need to create further depth with our roster. Knowing who he is as a person and a player, yeah, that certainly aided our comfort level. Comfort level being he's going to do whatever's in his power to come back from what he's gone through physically. We're certainly excited to have Grady in the mix.
"We added Grady because one, he's available and two, it provides some competition. And yet we have to see once we get to spring training, Grady's tolerance physically and what the — we don't have a projected number of games that we look at that he might be available for. We have to gradually build that up, build his endurance up. That's how spring training will be spent with him.
"I know he's running right now. Whether there's been a lot of work with change of direction, I think that's the next step in his progression. But straight away speed, it feels like he's at 90, 90-plus percent. He's swinging the bat every day, he's thrown."
"The one thing he hasn't done in a couple of years has been on the field for any length of time, or reps had in center field or at the plate. We feel like he's making good progress health-wise, otherwise we wouldn't have signed him to the deal we did.
"Yeah, I think what we have to do is get a read on where he's at from a baseball standpoint, does that project to be ready Opening Day, is more time needed. Those are things we'll adjust to as we get into spring training, particularly the games."
"Uh, it doesn't take Jackie out of the mix at all. There's questions that we have to answer in spring training with our roster. So the fact of Grady signing and being added to our roster doesn't remove Jackie from [consideration]. I think one of the things that Ben and all of us have set out to [do] in these final weeks before spring training is add to the depth of our team, and Grady certainly does that right now."
"We've gotten enough of a comfort level with Grady's physical condition to move forward and sign him to a contract. This is an All-Star caliber player when he was healthy, and yet over the last couple of years there have been some physical ailments that he's had to endure. But we feel like he's making very good progress, and he adds to the depth of this team as we stand today."
"Well one, we've got a lot of history with the person, he was — as a member of the Indians when I was there — we understand who he is as a person. He fits what we value in a player in terms of he's strong, he's tough, he's got character."
"But we also know we've got to get him back on the field, and to what level of tolerance and consistent games played is a question we still have to answer. But all the due diligence and the background that we've done on him with respect to his knee has given us that confidence and the comfort level that he's going to regain a level of performance that will make us better."
Take it slow for Spring Training?
"He will, and we'll get a read on that once we start everyday workouts — what his tolerance is and how he recovers from added volume. We're fully expecting that to be, I want to say give-and-take, but we'll adjust accordingly. Everything points to him getting back on the field as a Major League player."
Hello, Mr. President
President Barack Obama was in Boston to speak on healthcare reform before the decisive Game 6 of the World Series last Wednesday. On Monday, he called manager John Farrell.
"I'm sure customary to past winners during his administration, he called to congratulate," Farrell said. "And hopefully there's a chance somewhere around Opening Day next year when we open up in Baltimore that we might be able to swing by [the White House] and say hello."
Boston opens the season in Baltimore on March 31.
President Obama noted the great job that Farrell did in his first year managing the team, remarked on the incredible pitching performance by closer Koji Uehara and extended his congratulations to David Ortiz on being named the World Series MVP, according to a team press release.
The Red Sox were also invited to the White House, as they were the year following their World Series titles in 2004 and '07.
— Jason Mastrodonato
Victorino bats sixth in Game 6
With a chance to win the World Series in Wednesday night's Game 6, right fielder Shane Victorino returned to Boston's lineup after missing the previous two games with tightness in his lower back.
However, for the first time in this postseason, Victorino was dropped from his usual No. 2 spot in the batting order and instead batted sixth.
Victorino came into the night 0-for-10 in the World Series. Since the start of the American League Championship Series, he is 3-for-34, though one of those hits was the game-breaking grand slam in Game 6 of the American League Championship Series which helped the Red Sox win the AL pennant.
Manager John Farrell said that the overriding factor in moving Victorino down was that he liked the look of his Game 5 lineup, when Dustin Pedroia batted second and the red-hot David Ortiz hit third.
"In talking with Vic about this yesterday, he was understanding of it," said Farrell. "He's hit in the five-hole quite a bit, particularly against right-handed starters when he was hitting left-handed. I gave him my reasons for it, for what we mentioned as well as to keep the other two guys at the top of the order."
Victorino was just happy to be able to return to the mix in Game 6. He probably could have played Game 5, but he agreed with Farrell to play it safe.
"I feel a lot better," Victorino said. "Progressively, I've gotten better every day."

Da Vinci's glider was a mechanical flying apparatus invented by Leonardo da Vinci.
In 2374, USS Voyager Captain Kathryn Janeway and the Leonardo da Vinci hologram from one of her holodeck programs attempted to launch a prototype of the glider from a bridge in Florence. They immediately fell into the Arno and had to retreat in embarrassment to da Vinci's studio.
Later, when the hologram was stolen from Voyager by spacefaring pirates and outfitted with The Doctor's mobile emitter, he spent several days on a trading center planet, where he rebuilt the glider using duranium. He and Janeway used it to escape pursuers after they had recovered Voyager's stolen goods. (VOY: "Concerning Flight")

What's the difference between these to pictures (besides the lighting).
JP took me to two fabulous stores today … what did I get?
Based on the placement of your hair…I think that you are wearing something in the 2nd picture. New bra & panties?
I agree with Vanessa, given the bag and the hair I'd say new lingerie.
In the 1st pic you are nekkid and the present is in the bag. in the 2nd pic you are wearing the present!
I feel dirty now 😉
You're wearing 2 different pairs of sunglasses.
oh so you're wearing underpants in the second one?

How Green Design Will Propel the Planes Of The 21st Century
Posted By Timon Singh On August 1, 2011 @ 6:24 pm In Environment,Green Transportation,Innovation,Renewable Energy | No Comments
Aircraft are responsible for a staggering 11% [1] of the United States' CO2 emissions, however a lot of work is being done to make them more environmentally friendly. Plane designers are doing everything from developing biofuels [2] and more efficient engines [3] to experimenting with lighter construction materials [2]. A recent report from energyNOW! [4] correspondent Josh Zepps reveals the innovations that aviation designers are pursuing to make flying as green as possible.
I doubt you'll be surprised to learn that among the many companies developing next generation planes is NASA [5]. At the space administration's Langley Air and Space Research Center, America's brightest are working on reducing the weight and drag of planes in order to improve propulsion efficiency.
On top of that, NASA's boffins have reportedly created a new composite material that is 10 percent lighter than the most advanced carbon fiber composite materials on the market today, and 25-30 percent lighter than aluminum. Known as PRSEUS, it is almost as thin and malleable as a piece of cloth, but exponentially stronger.
Meanwhile, at the Green Lab facility in Cleveland, researchers are using science to improve the oil yield of biofuel plants. Not only will this save crops that could otherwise be used for food, but it could cuts costs — especially as the general expenditure for aviation fuel each year is $39 billion.
Last but not least, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) [6] is working on NextGen, an advanced system for guiding commercial flights. By creating more efficient flight paths for commercial airlines, the FAA believe they could save 1.4 billion gallons of aviation fuel and cut 14 million tons of CO2 by 2018.
This is all brilliant news, but the verdict is still out on whether it will ever be more comfortable sitting in economy class.

What is the make.conf file? What is its purpose?
Make.conf is Portage's main configuration file. It contains many variables that define how a package will installed in a Funtoo system. The really cool thing about portage is that you can customize how it installs packages, what packages it installs, how it builds those packages, etc. This page will attempt to explain the uses of the make.conf file, different variables that can be added to it, and their uses.

On Behalf of Endangered Species
The Federal Endangered Species Act recently turned 25 years old. Congress authorized it in December 1973, in response to a growing recognition that the planet is losing large numbers of species that we are unable to gauge the value of and that we have no way of replacing.Actually any loss of a species is by definition a loss of value. Not only do plants and animals provide us with important medical or genetic benefits, such as cures for diseases and more productive agricultural crops, but species have value merely by existing.
It is a given in biology that the more species there are in an ecosystem the more stable, productive and resilient that ecosystem will be. In biological and evolutionary terms, prairies are superior to crop fields, bottomland forests are more productive than parks. Nature's richness is counted in species.
Thick lawns, waving fields of grain and huge flocks of snow geese suggest fertility and lushness to us, but such monocultures, in which a relatively small number of hardy, adaptable species dominate the landscape, are fragile, and their yields are relatively small. Research has shown that as the number of species declines, so does the total biomass, the amount of material produced as measured by dry weight. Low diversity also increases vulnerability. Fewer species means individual members of the same species grow closer to one another, and diseases can spread easily.
The Endangered Species Act is designed to counter severe losses in the world's biodiversity that have arisen largely as a result of human activities. It's unfortunate but true that the human species has been and continues to be the primary cause of the disappearance of many other species.
Humans have chopped down rain forests, overhunted mammoths and passenger pigeons, introduced rats, cats, mussels and other aggressive species to new places where they thrived at the expense of the species that had evolved there, cleared and cultivated vast areas for grain and other crops, paved over habitats, filled in wetlands, plowed under prairies, killed off insects and other "pests" and sent millions of tons of pollutants into waterways and oceans. We've discharged chlorofluorocarbons into the atmosphere, disrupting the ozone layer, and may have dramatically altered the weather of our planet with our carbon dioxide emissions.
Our impact on the planet is unprecedented, comparable in scope to previous mass extinctions caused by stellar or geologic events. Scientists speculate that we may eventually cause the disappearance of one-half

|トウウ Tōu
|Naruto Shippūden Episode #66
|Appears in
|Voice Actors
Tōu (トウウ, Tōu) was once a member of the Twelve Guardian Ninja. Tōu appears to be the only female member of the 12 Ninja Guards of Fire.
When she was still alive, she was part of the Twelve Guardian Ninja. Ten years before the start of the series, six of the members tried a coup d'etat. She, alongside Asuma Sarutobi, Chiriku, Kitane, Seito, and Nauma, fought against them, only to be killed by Kazuma when she and the three other survivors tried to use Limelight on him.
Tou has black hair and yellowish eyes. She wore a pair of pants and a red short sleeve shirt. She wore bandages wrapped on each lower arm and she had a yellow ring of color wrapped around each knee. She also wore the 12 guardian shinobi waistcloth around her waist.
As one of the Twelve Guardian Ninja, she was one of the strongest kunoichi in the Land of Fire, powerful enough to be choosen to be the direct guard of the daimyō. She has an elemental affinity for lightning. When in the the four cardinal directions Tōu, Kitane, Seito, and Nauma could use a jutsu called Limelight to reduce everything within that area to ash.
Part II
Twelve Guardian Ninja Arc
In the anime, Tōu's, Kitane's, Seito's, and Nauma's corpses are stolen by grave robbers, and later revived using lightning. After being revived they were all approached by Asuma who had figured out the scheme of the robbers. There he tries without luck to stop the three who seem to have become mindless puppets. She started walking towards an unknown point emitting large amounts of lightning, only to arrive and prepare her part of the Limelight technique. When Kitane was killed by Asuma Sarutobi, Kazuma's plan failed and he decided to release the summoned Nauma, Tōu, and Seito.

FULLERTON A man with a syringe believed to be filled with heroin was arrested Monday near Maple Elementary School after he fought with officers, injuring the hand of one of them, police said.
About 9:42 a.m., a school staff member reported a man, possibly on drugs, standing on a pedestrian bridge near the school, police Sgt. Jeff Stuart said. The man threw the syringe at one of the arriving officers, Stuart said.
"He fought with the officers while they were trying to take him into custody," Stuart added.
The contents of the syringe have not been confirmed.
The man, who did not have identification and was not being cooperative, was expected to be booked on suspicion of assaulting a police officer, possession of narcotics and aggravated assault of a police officer, Stuart said.
Officers responded to a similar call in the area last week, but the person was not there when they arrived.

Violence against the Press in Latin America: Protections and Remedies in International Law
Perkins, Michael, Journalism and Mass Communication Quarterly
This article identifies a trend in international law addressing the murders of journalists in Latin America. Recent cases by international human-rights tribunals are analyzed for their holdings that murders of journalists violate the free-expression guarantees of the American Convention on Human Rights, the hemisphere's leading human rights treaty. These rulings required governments to investigate attacks on the press in good faith, punish journalists' assailants, indemnify journalists' survivors, and protect journalists working in war zones. This article concludes that this international case law, though developing slowly, offers a new weapon in the fight against vengeful and violent attacks on the press.
Literature Review
In 1999 the Inter-American Court of Human Rights ordered the government of Guatemala to pay $161,000 to the family of North American journalist Nicholas Blake, who was killed by Guatemalan security forces in 1985. The award was compensation for expenses and injuries suffered by the Blake family as a result of the Guatemalan government's intentional efforts to cover up its role in Blake's murder, which occurred during an intensive period of Guatemala's long civil war.
The Inter-American Court's decision is more than justice for a murdered journalist's survivors, though. The Blake case is one of just three cases, all decided since 1997, in the inter-American system for human rights protection inwhich violence against journalists was viewed as a human rights violation. This article proposes that when these three cases are considered together they represent an emerging international jurisprudence in the western hemisphere that demands government responsibility and accountability for violence against the press in Latin America, where nearly all countries have ratified the western hemisphere's leading human-rights treaty, the American Convention on Human Rights.
Violence against Latin American journalists has been an issue for studies of the region's press systems at least since Gardner's examination of the Guatemalan press in 1971.1 Since that time, the risks to journalists in Latin America and the impact of violent attacks on the Latin American press have been well documented in research by human-rights organizations dedicated to the safety of journalists, by professionally oriented trade groups and think tanks, and by academics studying the region's press.
The Committee to Protect Journalists reported that between 1989 and 1998 nearly one-fourth- 117- of the 472 journalists killed worldwide were killed in Latin America.2 CPJ documented that six journalists were killed in Latin America in 19993 and seven in 2000.4 For 2000, CPJ was investigating murders of another seven journalists in Latin America where the motives were not clearly tied to the victims' work.5 In 1998, CPJ identified Colombia as the most dangerous country in the world for journalists to work in because four journalists were killed there;6 in 2000 Colombia, still the most dangerous country in Latin America for journalists, tied Russia and Sierra Leone-with three murdered journalists each-as the countries with the most journalists killed in the world.7
The Inter-American Press Association documented that between 1988 and 1998 in Latin America, 202 journalists were murdered, 87 were kidnapped, and 1,731 were assaulted in the course of their professional work. IAPA also reported that for the same time period there were 250 violent attacks on media offices or property.8
The International Federation of Journalists reported that ten of the thirty-seven journalists that the group documented as murdered in 2000 were killed in Latin America.9 Of the thirty-one journalists murdered worldwide in 1998, as documented by the IFJ, twenty-two of those occurred in Latin America: ten in Colombia, six in Mexico, three in Brazil, two in Peru, and one in Guatemala.10 In 1999, IFJ reported fifty journalists killed, eight of them in Latin America. …

The Russell Group, which represents 20 elite institutions, including Oxford and Cambridge, has said: "We remain concerned that the Government's proposals on access do not fully recognise the root cause of the problem and the great work already being done to improve participation.
"They risk focusing too much on regulation of universities rather than resolving the real problems: underachievement at school and poor advice on the best choices of A-level subjects and university degree course."
Is the coalition shifting the blame from schools to universities? Should universities be making more effort to widen access or has the coalition's raising of tuition fees made that impossible?

I'm sure many of you, those who have lived a little, remember your first semester of college.
For me, it went something like this:
Arrive at first class at 8 a.m., go through that one and another until 10 a.m. and then head for the Student Union, where friends would congregate. When it got cold, we would listen to music piped into the room by the college radio station and sit in front of the fire.
Suddenly, that 1 p.m. class didn't seem so important. Some days I would make it. Some days not. Those chairs sure were comfortable. And there were lots of girls around.
There were no bells or buzzers to tell you to get to the next class, no teachers checking out the halls to make sure you weren't loitering. When you didn't show up, no one seemed to care.
In other words, it was heaven.
Then there was the whole deal about dropping classes that weren't quite right. To put it bluntly, and accurately, I was plain stupid. In high school, there was no such thing as dropping a class once it began. I figured it was the same deal. I was wrong.
I signed up for a class called "History of Western Music." I thought it was about jazz or blues or rock. Nope.
The first day I was greeted by a professor who wore glasses that didn't have any glass in them. One of the students asked about it the first day.
"It's because I can't hear," he said.
Everyone laughed. Then he said he wore the frames to conceal his hearing aid. Might have drawn a little less attention with regular glass lenses. Strange.
In any event, the class ended up being for music students, and I hadn't touched an instrument since the recorder in second grade. The "Western" part had nothing to do with Johnny Cash. The professor would do a little "Name That Tune," with 10 seconds of Chopin, and we were expected to identify the piece and its significance. I had no chance, and I knew it. But I didn't realize I could have dropped the class. It was the only one I ever failed.
My wrestling coach called me to his office after my first semester. "A 1.8 GPA?" he asked, giving me the stink eye. "Another one of these and you are gone."
Years later, I still am impressed when I hear stories of freshmen who succeed immediately at the college level. I can attest that it's not easy.
This past weekend, Columbus East graduate Shelby Holland, now a college freshman, helped the University of Indianapolis to the NCAA Division II final four in Pensacola, Fla.
Obviously, Holland has made a seamless transition to college volleyball even though she has changed her position as she went from libero to defensive specialist. She has handled all the heavy academic requirements as well as being away from her family, which includes parents Steve and Kim, and younger brothers Jarred and Nathan.
"It is a lot tougher than high school," Holland said Monday. "Everything is more intense. It seems like it is a lot more demanding on your time.
"Our coach (Jody Rogers) has a saying. 'Do your job.' It's school first, then volleyball. I put so much work into it. It is a job. But I enjoy it still."
It's comforting to sit around and say, "They don't make kids like they used to." But the truth is that these students such as Holland, who was the Republic's volleyball player of the year as a Columbus East senior, would blow many of us out of the water when it comes to dedication and commitment.
Holland hasn't blinked even though she faced a solid veteran lineup that she has worked hard to crack. She knows that every moment is being scrutinized by Holland as the Greyhounds (31-8 this season) have become one of the best programs in the nation. "If you mess up, you wonder, 'Is she looking at me,'" Holland said.
Part of her transition involves being a small player at 5-foot-7. "Against Tampa (which beat Indianapolis in the NCAA semifinals), we faced a girl who was 6-5," Holland said. "And the game plays a lot faster than in high school. You have to react faster."
Holland, who studies exercise sciences, has shown the mental and physical strength to adjust. "At first I was kind of intimidated," she said. "Once you're playing, though, you get used to it. I have the same bruises that I had in high school."
She has gotten significant playing time and looks to be an even bigger factor next season. She has gotten used to the grind of being a true student-athlete. "You need to have good time-management skills," she said. "But it's always been my goal to play volleyball in college, and this has been a great experience."
A great experience as a freshman? I am so jealous.

Students in Colorado and the rest of the country do much worse on a tough federal test than they do on state exams in reading and math, raising doubts about how much kids are learning.
The number of children who were proficient or better on state exams was pretty solid in 2005.
States have wide latitude to decide what it means that students have reached proficiency.
But a new analysis shows that on the National Assessment of Educational Progress, most states don't come close to matching up.
In Colorado, 89 percent of fourth-graders were proficient or better in math on the state test.
On the federal test, 39 percent were.
The size of that discrepancy and those in other states raises questions about whether states are setting lower standards.

The Virginia Beach Public Works Department, in collaboration with the Parks and Recreation and Police Departments, is enlisting the help of volunteers for Keep America Beautiful's Great American Cleanup. Volunteers are needed Saturday, March 23, from 8 a.m. to noon, at the 17th Street corridor near the Oceanfront.
The Great American Cleanup is the country's largest annual cleanup, beautification and community improvement program, drawing millions of volunteers in more than 15,000 communities each year. Virginia Beach will focus on picking up trash in the wooded lot between 17th Street and 19th Street, beside North Birdneck Road.
Virginia Beach encourages residents, businesses, faith-based organizations, civic associations, other groups and individuals who cannot attend this event to take some time on March 23 to clean up in the community. They can help make a difference in Virginia Beach by being a part of Great American Cleanup and reporting their stories.
Photos and captions of neighborhood cleanups will tell the story and show the commitment that communities have to Keep Virginia Beach Beautiful. Pictures and descriptions can be emailed to Waste Management Recycling at email@example.com.
The City will be working with the Virginia Beach Clean Community Commission, askHRgreen.org, Keep Virginia Beautiful and Keep America Beautiful to continue building an even cleaner, more sustainable city. For more information about this event, or to register to volunteer, contact John Mayer with the Public Works Waste Management Recycling Team at firstname.lastname@example.com or call (757) 385-3855.

Squirting and Sex
posted 4/22/2008 11:23:31 PM |
what's this?
report abuse
I have a unique fetish about squirting. I love it when I can make a woman cum so hard she squirts on me while we're getting busy, or when I'm just playing with her pussy manually. Can you people tell me what you think of this? Is there a way to tell before you date a person whether or not she squirts? I've been told the more chubby women are easier to squirt, since there is more fat around the G spot and makes stimulation more intense. Can any women confirm or deny this?

The chicks you see squirting on video are never fat, so I'm not sure that makes any difference.
Apr 23 @ 12:01AM
I don't think it has anything to do with a woman's size,since I have been with slender & average women who are squirters. I love a woman who squirts. You can feel more when she rides you or if you do oral on her then you can really feel the squirting against your mouth and face..
Apr 23 @ 12:27AM
Here is a bit of insight from a squirter who has been both thin and full figure...weight has absolutely nothing to do with the ability to squirt.
Also..just a heads up..a woman does not need to have an orgasm to squirt. The squirting is more of a release which closely resembles an orgasm. Now...when a women can combine the squirting and the orgasm...omg watch out...it's incredible.
Apr 23 @ 12:48AM
personally, i have always had an orgasm when i squirted...varied intensities..but always an orgasm...
Apr 23 @ 1:08AM
All sizes from my experience. Personally I love it and it is my main goal...to make my lady squirt but as one comment above mentioned many I have seen have two separate things going...trying to get them to have them together is the goal...lots of foreplay is the best. Always the best...
Apr 23 @ 4:39AM
You asked: "Is there a way to tell before you date a person whether or not she squirts? "
Yes there is...ASK HER!
And if she says no, or not sure, then ask her if she would like to learn. And go from there....IMO
Apr 24 @ 1:32PM
In my experience squirting is something that any woman can learn, if she wants to. It took my wife about 15 years to learn how to do it. It's like a faucet. Once you turn it on, the water flows. Over the last 4 or 5 years she has just perfected it. She has squirted 40 to 50 times an hour before, one right after the other. She says each one is an orgasm.
I have made 8 or 10 different women squirt. Some for the first time in their lives. One thing I do know is if a woman can't orgasm, she can't squirt.
The best way to do it is to clip your nails. Have your lady empty her bladder and lay back on the bed. I am right handed so I insert my middle finger on the right hand about 2" in. Then make the "come here motion with your middle finger". If your doing it right you'll feel a ripple or ridge.( It kind of feels like the roof of your mouth if you need a decription. ) This rippled or ridged area is the Graffenberg Spot or G-Spot for short. Gentle rub this area with the "come here motion". If you are doing it right, your lady will tell you she feels like she has to pee. Ask her to right that feeling out, let it pass. Once she feels like she is going to orgasm tell her to force it out. If you are really in touch with your lady, like I know most of the guys are here, and can tell when she is going to orgasm by her breathing and noises, you can slide your finger our and rub right to left across the clit.
Once you get the first trickle from her, it's on.
After you get her to trickling, insert your middle finger back inside and move left to right really fast over the G-Spot. She'll explode and call you the "Prince of her Pussy". Give it a try it really works. I'm sure there are others here that will agree.

Privacy concerns are helping thwart large-scale use of high-tech scanners that might have spotted the would-be plane bomber Christmas Day.
Full-body scanners show great detail, including body contours, but critics say they amount to a virtual strip-search. In June, the House voted overwhelmingly to prohibit the use of whole-body imaging for primary screening. They're currently used for primary screening at six airports, and for secondary screening at 13 more.
Supporters say such scanners provide the best protection for the widest range of threats.
Another type of machine is said to give a very accurate and very precise image of things on the body that are not the body. The Transportation Security Administration says it's bought 150 of the so-called "backscatter" machines, which are expected to be deployed next year.

Fantastic FPS RPGcocobaigh | July 9, 2013 | Review of Borderlands 2 NA Overflow 1 - PC
The game tells a great story and was really fun to play through multiple times. The humor of the game and the characters you encounter make it entertaining and worthwhile in itself. This game lives up to the hype and I would recommend it to anyone.

I'm working on a term paper on the environmental change in Kathmandu Valley of Nepal. For the research I would like to have access to satellite images to detect the valley's land use change. GIS would be used to quantify land cover maps created from satellite images. I would also use MODIS data to look at atmospheric conditions and humidity distribution in the valley. In the end I hope to create maps to convey the findings in be included in the paper.

User talk:Chaoarren/Archive 1
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Hello, Chaoarren, and thanks for joining Uncyclopedia! Before editing further, please take a gander at our Beginner's Guide. If you want to find out more about Uncyclopedia or need more help with something, check out the following pages:
- About Uncyclopedia and The five pliers of Uncyclopedia
- Help Pages - if you need help with a specific issue
- Votes for Highlight Page - read the very best articles and have your say about what goes onto our front page
Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~) or use the "sign" button () above the edit box. This will automatically produce your name and the date.
If you need help, feel free to ask me on my talk page, ask at the community forum or in the chatroom, or ask an administrator on their talk page. Additionally, our Adopt-a-Noob program can bring experienced editors straight to you. Simply leave a message on an adopter's talkpage to join. I hope you enjoy editing here and being an Uncyclopedian! ---- Simsilikesims(♀GUN) Talk here. 21:38, August 14, 2013 (UTC)
I am userspacing this article so that you can work on it some more. You can find it at User:Chaoarren/Wyvern. Less than a paragraph does not make a proper article. Read some of our features (use the Random feature link on the left side of the page to see some) to get an idea of what we are looking for. Our format is that of a parody encyclopedia. Please also take some time to improve your comedic writing skills by reading HTBFANJS - it gives an idea of which jokes have gotten too old to use here, avoiding lists, etc. -- Simsilikesims(♀GUN) Talk here. 21:41, August 14, 2013 (UTC)
Not funny for sober people
I take it one of us deleted one of your pages with this (canned) message. However, creating gibberish pages with this title, a play on this title, or any other title, may be funny for you, but the goal at this website is to be funny to the reader, and gibberish is not. If creating such a page is a protest against past administrative action, it would be drama, which is even less funny. Spıke Ѧ 15:59 23-Aug-13
I created the page chao then moved it to my user space but it ended up being renamed to User:User:chaoarren/chao because I typed in user in the renaming. So I had to move it again as User:chaoarren/chao. Its now complete but I can't move it to the main acticles. What should I do. Chaoarren (talk) 12:46, August 26, 2013 (UTC)
- Apologies for the confusion with our new move user interface. It seems that the function of the pulldown menu on the left is to add a prefix, which you must not also type on the right side.
- Regarding your inability to move Chao back to mainspace: Any time you move an article, the old name is turned into a "redirect" that points to the new name. You cannot delete stuff, and you cannot move stuff if it would result in the deletion of a page (the redirect). You can ask for a redirect to be deleted at QVFD--and in fact you should, any time you want an old name to no longer work. Read the rules carefully when asking for a redirect to be deleted, so we don't mistakenly delete the thing pointed to. I should be able to delete this redirect. Spıke Ѧ 13:28 26-Aug-13
- I was indeed able to delete the old redirect, and a move now should succeed. Get in practice by immediately listing the old (userspace) name on QVFD for deletion. PS--Regarding your Change Summary nearby, "It is now funny enough to be in the main articles," I'm not saying you are wrong, but you can ask for a second opinion at Pee Review. Spıke Ѧ 13:31 26-Aug-13
- Two more things
- When you are referring to an Uncyclopedia page, such as Chao, put it in double brackets, as I just did, so anyone reading this page can go right there with a click.
- I have looked at this article and I don't think it's ready for the main encyclopedia. It has no photos; it talks to the reader rather than looking like an encyclopedia article; Section 3 looks like a comic book, and WHAT THE FU- especially is not something you would read in an encyclopedia; and your section headings seem to be screwed up. Also, as above, there are no links to any other article. Please don't move it to mainspace, especially as an Admin recently moved it out of mainspace. Spıke Ѧ 13:38 26-Aug-13
Uncyclopedia:Pee Review/Xbox One
Thank you for trying to review this article! However, you don't do a Pee Review by editing this page. Because of the coding, your edits are invisible on the page. Instead, press the Review now button and it will bring up a form to let you grade several different aspects of the article. Please make sure your review is helpful to the author. Don't just say, "This article lacks the humour that would make it funny enough"--say why, or what he seems to be doing wrong. And "out of date information" is not a problem, because Uncyclopedia articles don't have to be true. I'll reset the page and you can try again! Spıke Ѧ 21:51 26-Aug-13
I have been watching the Xbox One request since I sent it in. I wrote most of the stuff, though not the nazi jokes. However...
- Pee review is not done in that way. Check out the finished reviews. You must fill in a table.
- "People may be offended".. This is Uncyclopedia. If someone is offended here, then we are doing it right, because many articles are meant to be offensive in a funny way. Look, simple nazi jokes aren't that offensive. I don't think it was many nazi jokes in that article, except for the top image. Also, there are far more offensive articles than this. Look at Rape, Woman, Allah's True Prophet Muhammad and 9-11, for example. (Saddex (talk) 20:33, August 27, 2013 (UTC))
- Yes, I told Chaoarren in the previous section how Pee Reviews are supposed to be done, and he replied by making his comments slightly more gentle than they had been. Don't tell him "You must fill in a table," although he should; be glad someone read and evaluated your page.
- The problem with Nazi jokes is not that "people may be offended." The problem is that Nazi is a meme, a cliché, that some authors throw out expecting them to be automatically funny. Clearly there is no real link between Nazism and the Xbox. Unless you have done a very good job of dreaming up a real link, please consider whether you used memes as an escape from writing something truly funny.
- I am not sure your article is offensive. But the defense that other Uncyclopedia articles are more offensive is simply asserting that two wrongs make a right.
- Everyone please try to get along with one another. Spıke Ѧ 20:53 27-Aug-13
- Now having looked at the article:
- The only "Nazism" in the article is the initial illustration. (Too big! Make it a thumbnail!) You have a comedy strategy, which is to play on the possible intrusiveness of the new Xbox and the potential for government spying. You found a convenient swastika illustration. However, the US N.S.A. is not Nazi Germany--whatever their similarities--and this slap is too hasty and imprecise. No, it won't overly offend.
- You need to ask Pennyfeather to go over this next week when he returns from vacation. I can tell what you're trying to say but several of your phrasings simply aren't English.
- Although your lists are not one-liners that will attract junk from anonymous editors, Special Features presents seven ideas with bullets and no other organization. This might be improved.
- I do not know where you were heading in Section 4, but you never got there. Section 5, your Summary, is too much cheerleading and advice to the reader. It doesn't read like an encyclopedia, and there is no humor in deviating from the encyclopedia style. Spıke Ѧ 21:05 27-Aug-13
- Now having looked at the article:
- I should notice you about one thing though. I am the original creator of the article, and added at least 75% of the content in it, but there are some exceptions;
- The top and bottom images were not added by me.
- The "summary" section was not added by me.
- Several statements on the existing sections, including the one about Bill Gates being a vampire, wasn't added by me either.
I did not intend to assign blame for anything! But you asked for a Pee Review, and I gave a mini-review of what you provided. It is quite good that you are willing to correct mistakes in it, no matter who it was who put them there. Spıke Ѧ 15:57 28-Aug-13

Talk:Pokémon (video games series)
Placing {{VFD}} on an article's talk page does not nominate it for deletion. You must place {{VFD}} at the top of the article, then follow the rules at Votes for Deletion and write a nomination. I would vote in favor of such a nomination; but please note at the top of the talk page that we tried two times previously to delete the article and it was kept--and follow those links to see why it was kept. Spıke Ѧ 01:46 1-Sep-13
Your new ban
Okay, here is what happened. Admin Simsilikesims userspaced Wyvern. You worked on it some more, never getting it beyond a weak imitation of Dragon, but yelling at the reader, and acting out in the text of the article over the fact that I gave you a ban. I am sure all of it was fun for you to type, but it was downright painful for a visitor to read. Then you decided you knew better than Simsie and put the article back in mainspace. It is gone, and for a week, so are you. Spıke Ѧ 13:40 1-Sep-13
And now im back Chaoarren (talk) 15:29, September 8, 2013 (UTC)
- I would agree it was downright painful to a viewer. I tried to improve it, but I couldn't have a chance after changing a spelling error, and it then got deleted on the 1st of September. Newman66 Visit my table here! Contributions My works 20:12, September 8, 2013 (UTC)
Putting Vocaloid on VFD
If you want Vocaloid to be on the VFD page, you must nominate it there and post it in the "Pages for deletion" portion and follow the steps. Make sure to put it above the nominations and put a space between
later nominations it and the below nomination if you do this. Newman66 Visit my table here! Contributions My works 15:49, September 8, 2013 (UTC)
- Yup, he's right: Just putting a tag on the article doesn't nominate it, though it is a required courtesy to notify the author his article might be going away. VFD is subject to rules, and please read them. Spıke Ѧ 16:04 8-Sep-13
I have read the rules for deletion. Now I all I need to know is how to post it. Chaoarren (talk) 16:12, September 8, 2013 (UTC)
- You edit the page UN:VFD (as you do merely to vote). Copy the blank form from the top of Section 1 down to the top of the list of articles awaiting deletion. There are more instructions on exactly how to edit in the source code. Spıke Ѧ 16:19 8-Sep-13
- PS--But you are going to have to lobby me to get my vote (which should not be done on the ballot itself). Going by your Change Summary, I agree with you that an article should not tell the reader how to interpret what he hasn't started reading yet. Beyond that, the idea that an article is a war between two Uncyclopedians is burdening the reader with our internal drama (though this author went on to write Aluminium, which is all about himself).
- Thing is, the problem you note is a problem with the first line, not a problem with the article! If you finish nominating this, I will go in, remove this line, and vote Keep.--unless you can show me why deleting the article is a better solution. Spıke Ѧ 16:27 8-Sep-13
- Well, pretty close. Only--
- You didn't copy the blank ballot, you copied the first completed ballot, so voting on your nomination is already closed (with the padlock symbol). If you had followed instructions, the date and time would have been done for you.
- You didn't vote.
- You didn't explain why you think the article should be deleted. If I talked you out of it, please undo your edit. Spıke Ѧ 16:47 8-Sep-13
This page has been deleted
You have just again made or re-made an article such as "Delete this page!" that is useless and Uncyclopedia's admins have to delete this. Newman66 Visit my table here! Contributions My works 18:16, September 8, 2013 (UTC)
- As I did. Indeed, unless you have an excellent concept executed in excellent fashion, what this site is about is creating imitation encyclopedia articles that go in a comedy direction--not inventing any notion that comes to mind, giving it a name, and loading it with babble. Sorry about that. Spıke Ѧ 18:24 8-Sep-13
Spike has already told you what to do to nominate something on VFD, but I will just copy and paste a paragraph from the VFD page that talks about the same thing, just to make sure that you don't miss anything:
<!-- COPY, do not CUT, the below template, and place it at the TOP of the page, replace "ARTICLE NAME HERE" as appropriate and please remove the arrows and stuff. It's unnecessary to keep that stuff. == [[ARTICLE NAME HERE]] == {{Votervfd|time=~~~~~ |keepnumber=0 |keep= |delnumber=1 |delete= |comments= }} Don't finagle with with the above template. Seriously. You may succumb to peer pressure.
Anton (talk) 19:40, September 8, 2013 (UTC)
Groundhog Day
When creating a talk page on an article, always type feedback that will be helpful to the author. Your unsigned talk page, "Stuff with a bit of vanity"--though it isn't clear whether this is a recommendation or an analysis of what's there right now--if it's a recommendation, it is not a helpful one, because "a bit of vanity" is against our vanity policies and would be undone just as quickly as I deleted your new talk page. If you had analyzed the article's history, you would have seen that what is there is quite deliberate. Spıke Ѧ 19:20 9-Sep-13
Three-month ban for ban evasion/sockpuppetry
Thank you for your confession, at User talk:Tamerial horror, that you and he are the same. Trying to evade a ban by creating a new user name is of course bannable.
And you continue, with The abuse filter, creating ranty articles of no interest to the general reader, mostly documenting your disagreements with me.
And the contents of that article, before I deleted it, disclose so much familiarity with the Abuse Filter (not the one that warns people not to insert links to external websites but others) that it suggests you have tried to damage this website in other ways. Have a pleasant autumn; if you try to evade this ban, I am sure we will recognize you. Spıke Ѧ 13:37 14-Sep-13

Tallahassee, Florida - April 1, 2011 --
Statement From FSU Football Head Coach Jimbo Fisher:
"Candi and I ask for your prayers as our family is dealing with a very
personal matter concerning the health of our youngest child. We ask that
you please respect our privacy as we deal with this as a family. We will
rely on our faith, our immediate family as well as the entire Seminole
family as we face these challenges in the coming months. With the right
medical care and the proper optimistic approach, we are confident of
positive results."
Tallahassee, FL (AP) - The 5-year-old son of Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher is facing an arduous treatment schedule after being diagnosed with a rare blood disorder.
In a statement released by the university Friday, Fisher said he was hopeful an optimistic approach and good medical care would yield a positive result. The second-year Florida State coach missed practice Tuesday while traveling with his youngster to an out-of-town medical appointment. Fisher asked for prayers and privacy as he and his wife, Candi, help son Ethan cope with the situation. Ethan is the youngest of the couple's two boys.
Fisher told his team Friday about the challenges his family faces over the next several months. Florida State is midway through its spring practices and just two weeks from its annual spring game.

Nudges From Nature

Even using a road map, printed directions and a GPS, I can still find myself driving in circles. I'm one of those directionally-disabled people who can get lost on her own block. Landmarks help me find my way, but I often get anxious that I'm not where I ought to be.
I'm a lot like that in my spiritual life too, looking for signs from above that I'm on the right track. Sometimes I get caught up in deadlines and to-do lists as I pray, asking for the perfect job by summer or that big purchase by the holidays, but my time zone is not divine. All in due time.
In the meantime, I find my signs in nature: the cherry blossoms burst back onto the scene at the appointed time each year. The bumblebees rumble back into town. They don't deliberate or procrastinate. They just buzz on in and pollinate. Pray for the flowering of your dreams today.
Praise Song
Praise to You
Who whispers to us
in a spring breeze,
in the sigh of leaves overhead,
in the chuckle of a running stream.
Praise to You
Who cries out to us
in the roar of waves
ever present,
all encompassing,
making You known.
Praise to You
Who calls to us
in the pop and creak of ice,
in the thump of snow sliding
in the stillness of a frozen day.
Praise to You
Who puts Your song
in the hearts of the birds
and in all who gather
to sing to You.
Praise to You.
I wake up every morningand I expect to do the same thing each day.Put on my slippers, throw on my robe,and eat my cornflakes
