"Grand Blanc" Grand Blanc by frenchmoxie
Grand Blanc Travel Guide: 1 reviews and 0 photos
I live here. There isn't much to do in this town, so I usually end up hanging around in Flint and going to the mall out there. It is quite boring here. I guess you could say it's a nice looking town. There are many wealthy people that live here, yet I am not one of them. The Buick Open is held here every year in August, and actually just got done with. That is about the biggest event here, sadly. The main thing here is golfing.
- Pros:Clean, Pretty in the Summer
- Cons:Boring, Snobs
- In a nutshell:Golf town, wealthy people, etc.

Italia Gardens isn't in Grand Blanc, but in Flint on Miller Rd. Not a far drive though if you take I-75 and get off at... more travel advice
Oliver T's isn't a restaurant, but more of a special goods store with a deli inside. They sell Godiva chocolates, yummy... more travel advice

Poison Ivy colors by SabinerichWatch
©2013-2016 Sabinerich
Well I finally got around to coloring the Poison Ivy pencils I did. Ended up added her name written in vines to sort of finish off the piece. I worked on it with a new monitor I got, so hopefully the colors and contrasts are good. Anyway, here she is.. I hope you like

Anarchism and Syndicalism in an African Port City

The revolutionary traditions of Cape Town's multiracial working class, 19041931
This paper examines the development of anarchism and syndicalism in early twentieth century Cape Town, South Africa, drawing attention to a crucial but neglected chapter of labor and left history.
Lucien van der Walt, 2011, "Anarchism and Syndicalism in an African Port City: the revolutionary traditions of Cape Town's multiracial working class, 19041931," 'Labor History', Volume 52, Issue 2, 137, pp. 137-171
This paper examines the development of anarchism and syndicalism in early twentieth century Cape Town, South Africa, drawing attention to a crucial but neglected chapter of labor and left history. Central to this story were the anarchists in the local Social Democratic Federation (SDF), and the revolutionary syndicalists of the Industrial Socialist League, the Industrial Workers of Africa (IWA), and the Sweets and Jam Workers Industrial Union. These revolutionary anti-authoritarians, Africans, Coloureds and whites, fostered a multiracial radical movement considerably preceding similar achievements by the Communist Party of South Africa (CPSA) in this port city. They were also part of a larger anarchist and syndicalist movement across the southern African subcontinent. Involved in activist centers, propaganda, public meetings, cooperatives, demonstrations, union organizing and strikes, and linked into international and national radical networks, Cape Towns anarchists and syndicalists had an important impact on organizations like the African Political Organization (APO), the Cape Federation of Labour Unions, the Cape Native Congress, the CPSA, the General Workers Union, and the Industrial and Commercial Workers Union of Africa (ICU). This paper is therefore also a contribution to the recovery of the history of the first generation of African and Coloured anti-capitalist radicals, and part of a growing international interest in anarchist and syndicalist history

Bernard Sigamoney, Durban Indian revolutionary syndicalist Dec 12 0 comments
A global movement, the anarchist and syndicalist tradition has influenced people from all walks of life. A notable figure was Bernard L.E. Sigamoney, born in 1888. The grandson of indentured Indian labourers, who arrived in South Africa in the 1870s, he became a school teacher with a working class outlook. [Italiano]

The first installation in the Zabalaza's new series on Black Stars of Anarchism: The son of a Wesleyan minister, Thibedi William Thibedi was one of the most important black African revolutionary syndicalists in South African history. Thibedi was a leading figure in the International Socialist League (ISL) and in the Industrial Workers of Africa syndicalist union. Later he played an important role in the early Communist Party of South Africa (CPSA), particularly its union work. He was active in all of the key black unions from the 1910s to the 1940s.

In my short time on this earth, I've actually seen some great games: the northern illinois game a few years back, last year's iowa game, nebraska game 3 years ago.
But my favorite moment looking back is DMac's last game where everyone was freezing their ***** off and Ryan Kock ran for like 150 yards. That was a great day.
There's also a Kansas State game like 10 years ago that I can barely remember but I do think they were really good or something and we almost beat them? I'm not sure, maybe somebody here remembers it. I was only like 6 or 7 years old.
Anyways, how bout you guys?
Seneca's run against Texas Tech
When my love for ISU football was born. I was about 11 years old and my brother (an ISU student) took my younger brother and I to a game at Clyde Williams. Luther Blue ran the 2nd half kickoff back for a touchdown. I know the stadium was small, but I'd never heard so many people screaming so loud before - and I was right in the middle of them screaming too.
THEN - shock of all shocks - the ISU student body started a cheer that included a SWEAR word. I couldn't believe it - it was SO COOL as far as I was concerned. Knew I was home right then and there.
ISU fans are the greatest in the world. All they ask for is hope and the belief that we have a chance to win every time we step on the field - Johnny Majors (paraphrased)
Ya gotta have the horses, man - Johnny Orr.

Marvelous Marv Sielor's (sp?) run all the way down to the 2 yard line when we beat Nebraska back in the early 90's. Also, the blocked punt that was a huge play in our win at Iowa that broke the 15 year streak. Let's just say my wife tried to get as far away from me as possible on both of those plays - I don't understand women.
The run, todd blythes game vs texas A&M and dmacs last game
I loved everything about the FSU game minus the loss.
I would have to say favorite moment was the second half comeback at Kinnick. Hawk fans were talking so much **** at halftime. We also got ranked all the way to #9 that year
Seneca's Run
Luther Blue's return against NU (1976)
JJ Moses end around at Iowa
This may sound corny to some, but my favorite f-ball moment is one that will create many more great moments to come, the day JP announced the hiring of Gene Chizik. I truly believe that he is the one who can take us to the promised land, and his loyalties to the A.D. and the program that gave him his chance will keep him here for a long time to come.
It can happen here! It will happen here!!
When I got *****ed at by that hackeye fan for standing the whole time at the '98 ISU/eiu game.

May perpetual light shine upon him.
Ellis hobbs interception in the 2004 independence bowl..
Stevie Hicks running 57 yards against Oklahoma just before halftime or the Meyer to Jon touchdown bomb against Nebraska back in 06 or Troy Davis getting his 2000 yards the second time..
Let Prohm's Posse Ride: Hallice, Brady, Stu, Lard, Naz, Deonte, Monte, Matt, Simeon, Jordan, and Babb.
There are many recent memories that I'd include on my list...
Troy Davis going for 378 against Mizzou in 1996
Seneca's first game in 2001, against UNI - you could just tell he was a special player (and my dad kept mis-pronouncing his name)
the comeback at Kinnick (2002)
the run (TT 2002)
Colorado, when Gary Barnet saw a real mascot (2005)
Funny enough, my all time favorite, and probably part of my intense fan loyalty, was when my dad took me to the OU game in 1986. Yes, we lost 38-0. And it was cold and rainy. But that was before the Jacobson Building, when Cy stood between the locker rooms (where is that statue now?) Dad took me down between where the players came out during half time. I will never forget when Brian Bosworth came out - no helmet to show off his mohawk/dye/whatever. People were throwing oranges at OU (hinting at another Orange Bowl, Dad explained and until just now, I had forgotten that "the Boz" didn't play in the bowl game due to steroids...) After the game, we took the Cy-Ride to a laundromat to dry our clothes for the ride home. But I think I became a Cyclone that day

Those fucking menus suck ass. I still can't find how to play 'Ambush,' etc. Just found out how to get those 'most wanted' cars.
Soundtrack stinks. 'The Who' are great. They're legends, but a remix of their stuff? Come on.
No new VH, no DT, no Accept, no. Ah, screw it, i just use my own.

Does the Autolog in this game freeze all of the time like it did in Shift 2: Unleashed? I really don't want to have to deal with that all of the time. I plan on getting this game and I really want to enjoy it but this issue (if it exists) will dampen my spirits somewhat

The lack of cops online, the autolog, the racing online, crashing all the time and watching a 5 second lame ass video. and is it just me or are the mics really low in this game?

This game is such a fuckin fail, and it had so much potential too. Compared to the old most wanted, whatever happened to the customization putting in superchargers and body kits etc, not some lame track tires pro shit. Game needs more muscle cars and lower level cars, the entire point of the game is based on street racing, when are you ever gonna see Bugattis and Bentley convertibles street racing.

only got today and the no quit option is a slight pain but the only main one i have is when you go online and the other people online constantly take me down before events and its like 1 after the other, it gets annoying simply because the clip is about 4-5- seconds. if it just said takeendown then carried on it would be ok.

I'm picking my copy up tonight (ENGLAND), thought i'd have a look at this thread for things to look out for, nothing posted here has worried me or made me less excited to play it...
With regards to what people have posted on this thread though, seems to me these things can easily be patched/amended once Criterion/EA have had some fan feedback.
I'm pretty sure once more people have played it and the majority have stated what is making the game less enjoyable and what could be done to make it better they'll sort it out, it's one of them trial and error things - you don't know until it's out there being played by the masses.

Honestly I like the game a lot, I think they are slowly making their way back to where it used to be but there is still a lot of things wrong when you "compare" to the older Most Wanted which is one of my favorite ever NFS's besides the Underground's. The soundtrack is fine, the soundtrack "sucking" is just based on you liking the type of music the game is using, I don't mind dubstep and techno as long as it sounds good while im driving which I think they did fine with.
However the thing that does bug me is the Customization in this game... I was really hoping for the ability to spend an hour or 2 on making my car look the way I'd want it to and then fine tuning all my Spec's. That's where this game is lacking imo, I don't like going to a Repair Shop and getting a random color and that's it... That is not "Customization" Criterion...
There are 2 (possibly?) glitches that I have come across that is annoying as well. One is when I would hit Retry if im not going to win the race and once in awhile the game would just sit on a Pause Screen and not be able to do ANYthing, I need to actually restart the game to fix it. And also sometimes when I get a bunch of Speed Points in SP then go in MP and play for a bit then go back to SP I will decrease in Speed Points somehow. Like MP isn't saving any Points I'm actually getting or anything, I technically lost about 60k points yesterday because of that... So generally im not touching the online till i have all the Most Wanted Cars at least...
I dunno if that is happening to anyone else but it is for me, hope they patch these sometime soon cause somehow I doubt they are meant to do that in the game >.>

It seems that, no matter what your political persuasion, many times those with opinion power are guilty of painting an opposing view with an overly wide brush. Such is the case with Leonard Pitts' March 5 column in which he opines "social conservatism is where logic fears to tread. It is a world view driven by fear of the world beyond its racial, gender, religious, cultural and intellectual borders. Historically, it always has been."
He then cites three examples of what that fear mongering has produced.
Unfortunately his example of "fear the Japanese" simply disproves his conjecture.
In 1941, the public at large had reasonable concerns about the Japanese after Pearl Harbor, as we did after 9/11.
But who was it that authorized the internment camps?
Sorry, Mr. Pitts, it wasn't a crazy conservative but rather it was President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who authorized the internment camps through executive order No. 9066.
It's interesting that one of the most liberal/progressive presidents of the modern era would get credit for the narrow-minded world view of conservative (Republican) fear mongers.
Pitts proves two things in his column: Historically, it hasn't always been just conservatives guilty of fear mongering, and don't believe everything you read.

So last week when my giddy facebook friends would post pictures like this:
I would assuage my guilt by saying something like "That's awesome! Obviously he must have been dissatisfied with the lack of immediacy in drone killing, and had them whip up some hand held laser blasters!".
So the magical Obama is bringing the gayness on his flying unicorn? Yeah, it wasn't the hard work of thousands.
Fucked up shit.
I wonder if the spurs jingle?
"Some people give me the creeps" (X). I reallly don't know how to talk to my nieces and nephews about all this. They've been totally sold on the flip side of this.
e.g. "I'm old enough to realize that Obama is more conservative than Nixon ever was."
They know Nixon was a bad, no good, republican president. So tell them that actually Obama is further to the right than Nixon was, and back it up with reasons if they ask why you say that. At least, that claim made a big impression on me the first time I heard it (though I wasn't an Obama-phile at the time either).
That's what I do.
When people accost me on my fb with this kind of shit, I am brutally honest, because they are asking for it by subjecting me to it. The problem with Obama isn't that he was one of two evil choices, it's that too many people are revelling in their tribes win, and not willing to criticize or fight for their rights. Pictures like this are a perfect example. He giveth all gifts.
Then again, I save my powder there, because nobody likes a scold and I try not to really ever talk much politics. It's family and friend time. Point is just because I was forced to vote for him doesn't mean I drank some kind of Obama droolaid. Put me down as the 2012 version of Vastleft.

I've lived in FL for three years now - we live in the country and I work in the Orlando area - and have limited time for pursuing skin care treatment, and shopping for skin care products,etc. (I thought that now that I'm 52 years old I'd have more time to spend on myself - but it hasn't happened!) I really appreciate being able to order Alchimie Forever products on-line, as I did when I lived in Colorado Springs in Colorado. I know I'm purchasing high-quality products that are gentle for my skin.
The Kantic+ intensely nourishing cream gives me the right amount of protection at night, especially since we sleep either in air conditioning or heating and both dry out my skin.

More than 40 million people tuned in to the Republican convention Wednesday to hear vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin introduce herself to voters.
That audience rivaled the one for Democratic presidential
candidate Barack Obama last week.
Nielsen Media Research estimated 37.2 million people watched Palin on either ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, Fox News Channel or MSNBC. PBS estimated it had four million viewers for the speech.
Last week Obama had 38.4 million viewers on the commercial
networks, topping 40 million with PBS and C-SPAN added in.
But channel for channel, Palin was the bigger draw.
Obama's speech averaged 3.8 million viewers for each of the 10 broadcast and cable networks counted by Nielsen. Palin's speech, which was carried live by four fewer networks, averaged 6.2 million.
Those are bigger audiences than the "American Idol" finale or
Academy Awards.
Viewers were far more interested in Palin than Democratic vice
presidential candidate Joe Biden. Biden's speech to Democrats last
week was seen by an estimated 24 million people.

Web's Largest listing of crowdsourcing and crowdfunding events
2,968 crowdsourcing and crowdfunding sites
Editor's Note: The following is a guest post from the founders of GuideHop.
I was recently reminded of one of the main reasons we started GuideHop when an old family friend was telling me about her honeymoon spent trekking the foothills of the Himalayas. She and her husband were led from village to village by a local Nepalese guide who helped them navigate the trails and communicate with the locals. Every night they would sleep in one of the townspeople's houses and eat a home-cooked meal with the family.
That is about as close to an "authentic" travel experience as you can get--interacting face to face with the inhabitants of a new place, who are more than happy to rent out a spot on their floor to world travelers. Encounters like these can't be mass-produced, and they are increasingly hard to find.
With GuideHop we set out to create a simple, reliable system that allows people (including ourselves) to get out of the hotel rooms, apartments, double-decker tour busses, and experience something genuine and unique. The result is a secure peer-to-peer marketplace allowing locals to share their world with curious adventurer-seekers from near and far.
Anyone can become a guide and post his or her own "hops," which could be anything from arts and crafts lessons to neighborhood bike tours. Each guide brings a fresh perspective to the table, allowing limitless new possibilities for exploration and learning. Even in your own hometown you can find a guide who can show you something you never knew existed. It can introduce you to exciting new activities and people, sparking lifelong new interests and friendships.
We have seen through sites such as Wikipedia how crowdsourcing can allow individuals to share their specialized knowledge for the benefit of the world. While our goals for GuideHop may not be quite as earth-shattering, we envision that hops can be used for a similar type of knowledge-sharing. Imagine traveling through a national park with a botanist who can explain how an invasive species is strangling the native ecosystem, or wandering the ruins of an abandoned manufacturing town with a former resident.
We hope that as GuideHop expands our users will invent new ways of taking advantage of our open marketplace, and change how we view travel, tourism, and authentic social interactions. We've opened up an avenue for inquisitive strangers to share their passions, and we are exhilarated by the possibilities of where that road might lead.
Thanks to the founders of GuideHop for answering our questions in the form of this guest post.

Additional Information
About ADIMLocated in Central America, ADIM is a small microfinance institution with a strong social focus. In the saturated microfinance market of Nicaragua, ADIM stands out for its emphasis on the holistic development of women as well as its provision of responsible financial services. Founded in 1989 by a small group of Nicaraguan women, this institution has remained true to its initial goal of providing its clients (90% of which are women) with an opportunity for economic growth, in addition to personal and professional empowerment. Supporting an ADIM borrower means contributing not only to the continued offering of the socially conscious services it provides, but also to the sustainable growth of a truly unique microfinance institution.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

Something I've Only Ever Talked About…Until Now! | Kera
"Why are the blue whales here?" is a common question I get while working on the boat. The answer I most often reply with is "They're here because they're feeding on krill which is a small, shrimp-like animal." Typically the krill they eat are pretty deep, around 500 feet or so, but I always mention how on rare occasions the krill are at the surface and the blue whales will lunge feed at the surface. I've never seen it done … until now!

Hugh's Top Ten Reasons For Volunteering 5000 Hours At The Aquarium Of The Pacific | Hugh
No matter what part of the country my business travels may take me during the workweek, be it the urban maze of New York, the wilds of Alaska, the mountains of Colorado or the swamps of the Carolinas, I've always made it a point of getting back to Southern California in time to cover my Saturday volunteer shift at the Aquarium of the Pacific. Sometimes it's meant taking a late red-eye flight or finding an unusual connection through tiny airports but somehow the majority of the times I've managed to make it back to cover my shift. In fact this month I've recorded my 5000th hour as a volunteer at the Aquarium.
To commemorate this personal milestone this week's blog is a list of the top ten reasons why I've volunteered so many hours to the Aquarium.

How Do Whales Nurse? Let's Find Out! | Kera
The past few weeks, we've been seeing a decent number of cow/calf pairs of blue whales. Just recently I got word that a calf was seen nursing! Now even though I haven't witnessed this with blue whales myself, I did recently get to see beluga whales nursing!

CHECKING OUT THE SEA OTTERS | Hugh
One of my newer duties at the Aquarium of the Pacific is to work with the sea otters in their home in the Northern Pacific Gallery. As I build my relationship with the otters and learn more about their personalities, I am beginning to interact with them using some of the more important husbandry behaviors that allows the staff to check over the animals health. Husbandry behaviors are behaviors that are taught to an animal to allow their human caretakers to monitor their health without causing undo stress.

Miller the Sea Lion's 29th Birthday | Hugh
One of the wonderful benefits of aquariums and zoos is that they allow some rescued wildlife a second chance at life. I at one time spent over a decade rescuing and rehabilitating wild marine mammals, so I know first hand that without these institutions many critters might have a disability or personality traits that would keep them from making it in the wild.

When Bottlenose and Risso's Dolphins Mix! | Kera
Just the other day I was talking to Alicia, my whale watching partner, and we were discussing how I haven't seen any Risso's dolphins this summer. Risso's dolphins are usually here all summer long, and it's not uncommon to see them on a trip when we're looking for blue whales. Well I guess the Risso's dolphins heard me because that's all I've seen the last couple of days. More than I've EVER seen, and even better, they were mingling with bottlenose dolphins!!!

SEA LION HIGH ENERGY BEHAVIORS | Hugh
Just like human kids, young sea lions have a lot of energy. Because of this, the trainers at the Aquarium of the Pacific are teaching our young sea lions high energy behaviors to keep them mentally and physically fit.

A Rare Sighting So Early in the Season | Kera
Although the blue whales aren't here every day yet, I've already seen a pretty rare sighting for this season…a mother and baby blue whale, also called a cow/calf pair. Last September, which is the end of our typical blue whale watching season, I got a call from one of the captains from the boats we tour with and he told me he saw a cow/calf pair of blues. I was so excited! I'd been out so many times all summer and never heard of any reports for a cow/calf pair! How amazing! I got out on the boat and spent two days with them before they continued on their way. That had to be one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. And now here we are at the very beginning of the season, and I'm seeing a cow/calf pair already. How exciting!!

Now that the iPhone 6's announcement is almost here, it seems Apple is turning its attention towards getting the iPad Air 2 ready for its own debut.
New components for Apple's latest 9.7-inch tablet are starting to roll out of supply chains sources, according the DigiTimes, and the parts themselves are revealing.
Sources who've caught wind of touch panel orders claim the next iPad Air will feature the same size screen and resolution as the current version.
As with the iPhone 6, the new iPad will however purportedly have a thinner frame. We caught a glimpse of the iPad Air 2's slimmer front panel in April and it looked like Apple was able to make an even thinner package by fully integrating the display with the front panel.
DigiTime's sources also noted Apple's tablet will come with an "enhanced processor," presumably the company's A8 chip. Lastly it seems the new iPad will finally get a Touch ID sensor, letting users unlock the slate and authorize app store purchases with a fingerprint scan.
A smidgen different
A few leaked screenshots from June revealed some slight design tweaks to the volume and lock buttons. Otherwise, it seems as though Apple will be sticking with the same fit and finish it introduced with the original iPad Air last year.
Tablet photographers will also be happy to know the iPad Air 2 has been rumored to come with an 8MP rear camera coupled with a 1.2MP front snapper.
With the iPhone 6 launch scheduled for September 9, we're anticipating the iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 3 will arrive in October.

Re: sharpest aperture nikon 18-105 ED VR
Check the image resolution analysis section of the review of the 18-105mm at lenstip.com. They plot out image resolution by focal length and aperture. it appears sharpest between F3.5 and F8 through most of its range.
As another poster noted.....I don't worry too much about trying to hit the sharpest point on this lens. It is sharp as sharp as I need everywhere.

Community Wind: Maine Island Community Lowering Energy Costs with Wind-Power Project
Borst, Alan, Rural Cooperatives
Conventional electricity generation from fossil fuels is associated with several policy problems, including pollution, import dependency from countries with hostile or troubled governments, trade deficits and periodic price shocks. Renewable energy sources are clean fuels that are domestically-based and substantially local.
Wind is one of the lowest cost and fastest growing renewable energy sources in the United States. Wind power provides clean and cost-effective energy generation, increases rural incomes, hedges against fuel price shocks and increases energy security.
Most U.S. wind-energy projects are remotely owned by large corporations, while the remaining fraction is owned, wholly or in part, by local residents and businesses--referred to as "community wind." According to Windustry, a Minneapolis-based nonprofit organization working to increase wind energy opportunities for rural residents, as of January 2010, community wind makes up 1,521 megawatts (MW) of the total 35,170 MWof U.S. wind energy. Community wind energy projects have all the benefits of remotely owned wind projects and some important additional ones.
Community wind developer Own Energy identifies three important benefits:
* Ownership is retained in the community and profits are "recycled" there, creating incremental jobs, wages, business income and local pride.
* Community wind developers and their financial partners are typically U.S.-based, further ensuring that profits from these projects are pumped back into the home economy, not shipped overseas.
* Increased success rate of community wind projects leads to increased knowledge, awareness and acceptance of wind power, thus reducing public opposition.
The bottom line: few would dispute that community wind is good for the economic development of rural communities and for the entire U.S. wind-energy industry.
Best in the West, Least in the East
Community wind is geographically concentrated in five states: Minnesota, Washington, California, Iowa and Texas. These five states have 88 percent of developed U.S. community wind power. States east of the Mississippi River have 2.5 percent of U.S. com munity wind. This is partly due to the more limited wind resources available in much of the East, especially the Southeast. It is also because of higher population density and real estate patterns. Landowners tend to own smaller parcels of land, which makes project development more difficult. Mark Anderson summed up the New England situation in the May 2007 edition of Windpower Monthly by commenting that it is a region "where vistas are sacred and naysayers can be rich and powerful."
Massachusetts has by far the most community wind of any eastern state, with 15 megawatts (MW). Massachusetts has been relatively successful at promoting community wind development through a series of programs and incentives over the last decade. The coastal town of Hull, outside of Boston, installed the first community-owned utility-scale wind turbine in New England in 2001. It proved to be popular enough that a second, larger wind turbine was installed in May of 2006.
With the success of the Hull project as precedent, several other community wind projects were developed in Massachusetts. All of these projects have been developed by either municipalities or a single business or organization. The cooperative model that has been so successful with community wind projects in the Midwest and West had not been used in New England until recently. All that changed recently on a Maine island.
Wind Power Down East
The largest community-owned wind project in the East was recently completed on the island of Vinalhaven--one of the Fox islands--in Penobscot Bay off the central Maine coast. The hope of the project developers and local community wind advocates has been that this project could serve as a template that would stimulate similar projects. …

Here's another interesting set of numbers—the performance of the Dodgers offense before and after the acqusition of Manny Ramirez:
Baseball may not be a one-man game, but Ramirez, .489 OBP/.743 SLG/1232 OPS in 53 games for the Dodgers, is obviously one man who made a significant difference for his new team. The two Dodgers who have had the most plate appearances batting right in front of Manny, Jeff Kent and Andre Ethier, have been particular beneficiaries.
|Jeff Kent
|Andre Ethier
Funny thing is, both Kent and Ethier were able to punish the Cubs even without Ramirez this year. In 23 AB's, Ethier hit .348 with a .423 OBP vs. the Cubs, and Kent, in 19 AB, hit 2 HR, with a .421 OBP and an OPS of 1211.
Starting Pitching -- Studs
Here is my concern. Look at what Sabathia and Santana did over the weekend. Dominating, complete game performances on short rest. That's what you need this time of year, particularly in the playoffs, and we don't have a starter who can do that. Our rotation overall may be the best in the NL, but that helps in the 162 game schedule. In some ways, the question over the course of the season is not how good your 1 and 2 are, but how bad your 3, 4, and 5 are. But in the playoffs, the question is how good your 1 and 2 are. And ours are good, not great.
If we can hit our way through the playoffs that will make the difference, but we will see some good pitching.
Dodgers in 5.
Re: Cubs vs. Dodgers—Stacking Up the Stats
I'd say your assessment is pretty much spot on as far as the starters/course of the whole season as opposed to a 5 game set. But it's not as if the Dodgers have the CC/Johan type #1. Personally with the cubs lineup against Lowe/Billingsly/Kuroda/Maddux/Whoever they run out their in the 3rd game, i'm not too worried for this series. Cubs in 4, count it.
Re: Cubs vs. Dodgers—Stacking Up the Stats
Has anyone seen the playoff roster? I cant find it on cubs.com or in the tribune...My hope is that howry is left off so he can practice a new grip for his fastball so it atleast moves.
Re: Cubs vs. Dodgers—Stacking Up the Stats
Cubs in 4
Re: Cubs vs. Dodgers—Stacking Up the Stats
a party in LA sounds good to me
Playoff Roster...
I don't think the Playoff roster has been announced. Or else you'd see many Howry posts.
Arguably, the 2nd half moves of Manny, CC, and Harden helped catapult their new teams into the Playoffs.
Without the addition of Manny or Sebathia, neither Dodgers or Brewers would have made it.
So, indeed, in these cases, one man DID make the difference.
Can Sebathia just pitch every other day?
Re: Playoff Roster...
If CC could pitch every other day, he would. Being a Tribe fan also, he was a gamer and as seen in MIL, he'll take the ball everyday if the manager would allow him.
here's the question, i know its looking forward, but who would you rather see the cubs face in round 2? CC and Mil, or Johan and NYM? I'd vote for neither if I could, because i can see both of those being a very very tough series to win. Perhaps i'd rather see the Brewers seeing how familiar the teams are with one another. And Wrigley Field North will be rocking
Re: Playoff Roster...
While your hypothetical question is interesting...it is moot, the Mets are not in the playoffs and the question should be: Who would you rather face, the upstart Brewers or the Phillies with that mashing lineup and Cole Hamels?
While the acquisitions of Manny and CC propelled their teams to the playoffs, Johan was unable to pulloff the same result with the Mets...Maybe they should have held him back until the second half instead of pitching him the entire season.
Re: Playoff Roster...
wow, mental lapse there. must be these damn high school kids yelling while i'm trying to write...Well, i'd rather see the Brew Crew than Hamels and the Phils..
Re: Playoff Roster...
Absolutely. Hamels has been death for the Cubs this year, and while CC has also been pretty good against us, the Cubs have managed hold back the Brewers offense in those games. Plus, who pitches after Sabathia? What are the Brewers chances of winning playoff games not started by CC? I think the Cubs' deep rotation could potentially make a bigger difference in games against the Brewers than any other team in the post season. The Phil's rotation isn't amazing after Hamels, but their offense could make the Cubs rotation not look so "deep," especially if they can get to the bullpen.
Re: Cubs vs. Dodgers—Stacking Up the Stats
here is a bit from Muskrat's late last-night entry:
"Whether DeRosa is ready will not affect the final decisions on the playoff roster, which will be announced Tuesday. Piniella was to meet then to set it with general manager Jim Hendry and assistant general manager Randy Bush."
Also, DeRosa is claiming "he'll be fine" for Wednesday's start...
Re: Cubs vs. Dodgers—Stacking Up the Stats
In Sun Times today Wittenmeyer believed that Dero would be playing second for first round, meaning more RF time for Fuku and I assume the wild tea cup ride of Micah Hoffpower.
Re: Cubs vs. Dodgers—Stacking Up the Stats
That wouldn't bother me if Dome could at least raise his OBP during the Playoffs to something reasonable.
Re: Cubs vs. Dodgers—Stacking Up the Stats
Slugging and OBP go together. Look at the league leaders in walks, slugging, OBP. A lot of power, a lot of meat on the hoof. Fukudome will have to hit to raise his OBP.
Re: Cubs vs. Dodgers—Stacking Up the Stats
An overlooked factor in the Pre- and Post-Manny Dodgers, and their offensive improvement, is that around that time they stopped playing offensive sinkholes like Andrew Jones, Pierre, and Nomar. Benching Andrew Jones alone had to be worth many runs. He would have been released in ST if not for the financial commitment.
Re: Cubs vs. Dodgers—Stacking Up the Stats
I'm trying not to be doom and gloom here. I am concerned with D(ouble play)Lee's hitting propensities, particularly with Derek Lowe on the mound. I thought hitters made in-game adjustments to pitchers?
I just hope this team can get itself back up if they find themselves behind the 8-ball (a'la 2004 RedSox).
This post season is not going to be a cakewalk. If we beat the Dodgers, I'm not so sure we can beat the Phillies when we not only have to deal with Cole Hamels, but Jamie Moyer(!?), who shut us down. Jamie Moyer is not supposed to be tough but he is to us. Their offense is downright scary too.
I'm not on the ledge, but somebody talk me out of this.
Re: Cubs vs. Dodgers—Stacking Up the Stats
If you're not on the ledge what are we supposed to talk you out of? What you're saying doesn't sound like doom and gloom. It IS doom and gloom. Here's a little bit of balance:
The other teams fear the Cubs even more than we fear them.
Re: Cubs vs. Dodgers—Stacking Up the Stats
That's a good point on D-Lee, but I worry alot more about the bullpen. If we lose this series, I predict it will be in the 6th and 7th innings. Wood and Marmol are good, but beyond that as you all know, we have been struggling. Meanwhile, the Dodgers have Saito and Broxton late, plus Kuo, Wade, Park, Bemiel....lots of RH/LH solid guys, with some strikeout guys, for those middle innings. We definitely need someone to step up in this space, be it Samardzija, Marshall, or someone else. Gaudin's back problems really hurt us, because he was pitching well until then, and providing that solid middle relief.
Re: Cubs vs. Dodgers—Stacking Up the Stats
Kuo out, FWIW.
Re: Cubs vs. Dodgers—Stacking Up the Stats
the grass is always greener...
Saito's still dealing with a bum elbow, If you ask a Dodgers fan, Beimel and Broxton are the only bullpen guys that would be considered solid this year.
Re: Cubs vs. Dodgers—Stacking Up the Stats
BTW, are we going to have Chip Caray on the TBS telecasts? I might have to mute the entire post season.
Re: Cubs vs. Dodgers—Stacking Up the Stats
Worse. Dick Stockton, Ron Darling, and Tony Gwynn.
Is it Normal?
to charge a good $30 in bullshit fees for 2 tickets to a major league baseball game?
F U Frank McCourt.
And I still have to add an extra $15 each day for parking.
Re: Is it Normal?
Yup, I about screamed when I saw how much fees were being added to the tix. Although some of that is ticket master.
FYI, I have tickets in the all you can eat pavilion on Sunday too. Would have prefered to buy my own food in cheaper seats.
Re: Is it Normal Or Is it Nomar?
I'd say gouging customers is pretty normal behavior for a crook.
Frank McCourt was born, to Malachy & Angela McCourt, in Brooklyn. Unable to find work in the depths of the Depression, the McCourts returned to their native Ireland in 1934, where they sank deeper into poverty.
McCourt's father, an alcoholic, was often without work, and drank up what little money he earned. When McCourt was 11, his father abandoned the family leaving Frank's mother to raise four children. After quitting school at age 13, Frank alternated between odd jobs and petty crime .... --- wikipedia
So, he just graduated from petty juvenile crime to bigtime bring the country to its knees kiss your 401k goodbye "legal" crime, i.e. Real Estate Investment..
Where's it going?---
me, I'm gonna riot if they run out of food in the RF pavilion.
Re: Is it Normal Or Is it Nomar?
That's a different Frank McCourt.
Re: Is it Normal Or Is it Nomar?
Gonna burn the place down to ashes?
Re: Is it Normal Or Is it Nomar?
Interesting, because at the very top of the Frank McCourt Wikipedia entry that you quote from and don't link to, it says this:
This article is about the author and memoirist. For the owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers and real estate developer, see Frank McCourt (executive).
You may want to look at this entry.
Re: Is it Normal Or Is it Nomar?
"baseball" frank was the parking lot baron of boston...which shows with his new "parking plan" he implemented in LA.
"the plan"...aka, "the disaster"...aka, just shut up and deal with it...
Re: Is it Normal Or Is it Nomar?
although it still sucks donkey balls to drive there and try to get out, it is better than 3-5 years ago. Not $15 worth better, but slightly better...
Re: Is it Normal Or Is it Nomar?
That's exactly why I don't go to more games. I can't stand the driving and parking situation. If a regular season game is boring, I have no problems leaving in the 7th to beat traffic. For the playoffs, I'll just plan on hanging out for an hour tor two afterwards and not even think about trying to get out of the lot.
Re: Is it Normal Or Is it Nomar?
You just need to know the secret parking spot.
Re: Is it Normal Or Is it Nomar?
you going to both games?
I forgot the Dodgers switched radio networks this year, so my sure thing contact no longer works for the Dodgers.

Re: Cubs vs. Dodgers—Stacking Up the Stats
Stockton was terrible last year, why do we always get the "B" team in these rounds? He didn't even correctly recognize many of the players last year - enough.
Re: Cubs vs. Dodgers—Stacking Up the Stats
quite simple really...as long as the Red Sox or Yankees are in the playoffs, they will have the #1 team, because they attract the most watchers.
This year will be an interesting test to see how well the Cubs do in the ratings. Last year, the ratings were weak for the Cubs in the playoffs...but I'm sure that was largely due to the 10PM EST start time for the two games in AZ.
Re: Cubs vs. Dodgers—Stacking Up the Stats
Hard to imagine too many other reasons that the Cubs wouldn't get viewers; it seems clear to me that the Cubs are one of the most popular teams in the nation, probably number three behind the Red Sox and Yankees.
Re: Cubs vs. Dodgers—Stacking Up the Stats
I would tend to think so too...but the key being they do fall behind the Sox and Yanks.
I would think ratings for a Dodgers/Cubs game would be huge (2nd and 3rd largest TV markets)...but maybe not because of no east coast presence.
I'd have to think Fox is dreaming for a Cubs/Red Sox series....and puking about the prospect of a Brewers/Rays series.
Re: Cubs vs. Dodgers—Stacking Up the Stats
I don't know. A Cubs vs. Rays series would allow them to play up all the feel-good vibes they want having a team that hasn't been a World Series Champion in 100 years and, well, the Rays. But maybe those narratives they create to attract viewers aren't very effective. I don't study this stuff.
Re: Cubs vs. Dodgers—Stacking Up the Stats
I'm sure Fox would be happy with Cubs versus anyone in the WS (probably happy with any combination of Cubs, Dodgers, Phils)...but no question in my mind that Cubs vs Red Sox would get higher ratings than Cubs vs Rays.
Re: Cubs vs. Dodgers—Stacking Up the Stats

Lohse agrees to $41 million, 4-year deal
Holy shit, what is Dempster going to get?
Re: Cubs vs. Dodgers—Stacking Up the Stats
The Cards give Kyle Lohse a four-year contract. As a Cubs fan, I'm tickled. Now they're stuck with Lohse, who had a career year in '08, through 2012. Didn't they realize that Lohse was trolling for work during spring training? And didn't they give Pineiro a long-term deal last year?
As long as they have Pujols, they'll win 85 games or so, but by signing Pineiro and Lohse, we won't have to worry about them winning 100 games anytime soon.
Re: Cubs vs. Dodgers—Stacking Up the Stats
I had a dream last night that Dempster went 8 innings, one run, unearned. Word.
Re: Cubs vs. Dodgers—Stacking Up the Stats
that sounds good to me,ramirez is the player who has
to show up aramis was 0 for the playoffs in 2007.
I totally agree. He sucked balls with an 0-fer in last years' "Playoff".
If he wants to be "The Man", this is the big SHOW.
How do we score against Derek Lowe? This team has done very poorly against him in the last couple of years.
Re: Ramirez
I have a hard time faulting A-Ram too much for not hitting in the three games the Cubs played last October. Pretty small sample size. Who DID hit that series?
Derek Lowe does worry me, though. I'm hoping the Cubs patience will help them squeak out a few runs and they'll somehow avoid grounding into too many double plays. I'm also hoping Dempster can shut down the Dodger's offense.
Re: Ramirez
"Who DID hit that series?"
Re: Ramirez
To answer my own question like a jerk:
Soto went 1 for 6 with a home run and two of the Cubs 4 total RBI.
Lee was 4-12, all singles, plus a walk. DeRo went 3-9 (singles) with two walks.
After those two the next highest averages were Theriot, Kendall, and Murton with .250.
Jacque Jones and Geovany Soto accounted for the only Cubs extra bases (a Soto homer and a Jones double).
They did manage 13 walks in three games, which isn't terrible, but the power and the averages were not there.
The pitching was less than amazing, but not as bad as the hitting. No wonder I've forgotten most of that series.
Re: Cubs vs. Dodgers—Stacking Up the Stats
It finally dawned on me that game times aren't pacific time and that I'll miss half of Wednesday's game and all of Thursday's because of class. Fuck. Also, I don't have TBS so I'll have to watch the games on a shitty feed from China on the internet. This might be good luck for the Cubs, though.
Re: Cubs vs. Dodgers—Stacking Up the Stats
Slingbox on your laptop from someone with TBS while in class...all the kids are doing it now a days...
Re: Cubs vs. Dodgers—Stacking Up the Stats
I don't know anyone with slingbox.
Plus, there's 4 of us in the class. Someone might notice.
Good idea, though. I'd love to do that. Hell, I'd love to just watch the game after class.

HAGSAG: I have not seen Joe Nathan out on the field, but he is supposedly at the UAPC.
ERIC S: Best outing I've ever seen from Manny Rondon, and I've seen most of his outings since the Cubs got him from the Angels.
M. Rondon is competing with six others (Dylan Cease, Bryan Hudson, Jose Paulino, Pedro Silverio, Jesus Castillo, and Erling Moreno) for a starting slot at Eugene, and (as you can probably tell from the EXST box scores) the competition has gotten fierce over the last couple of weeks, With the exception of Moreno, the Eugene SP candidates have upped their game lately, and M. Rondon's outing yesterday was especially impressive/dominating.
E-MAN: Pierce Johnsion was mixing a 92-94 MPH fastball with a plus-change-up AND curve, and he threw strike-after-strike-after-strike with all three of his pitches. I believe that was the best command and pitch-efficiency I've ever seen from Johnson, who often pitches from behind in the count and issues too many walks.
Of course now he has to avoid a recurrence of the lat strain (whch he has had previously in his career) as well as all of the other miscellaneous physical problems he's had over the last three years (hamstring, quad, back, etc).
PHIL: Any movement on P. Johnsons pitches? What was his "out" pitch? I know he was working on a 4th pitch, so wondering what he is looking like these days. Thanks.
AZ Phil, has Nathan showed up in Mesa yet? Thanks.
Eickhoff looks like a good young pitcher. Lets steal him!
Manny Rondon faced 13 batters ... and got 10 to K. Not a bad day's work.
With several other Cubs hitters bailing out on curves today I think overall it wasn't being seen well. It for sure looked silly but a good breaking pitch coming at you and then breaking down isn't the easiest thing to see and has made many hitters look silly. Also Soler should have more walks this year but for quite a few called strikes that were actual balls and even the called strike he bailed on was borderline.
it's not like we're talking about a guy who's never had issues with pitch selection and seeing the ball over here. we're talking about a guy who has some rather legendary swing-and-misses at breaking stuff who's been exploited low. going forward it's worth paying attention to seeing if he can be exploited inside, too. he seriously bailed out of the box on a called strike. sure it was a good curve, but he obviously didn't see that well at all.
It would seem like he is figuring it out now and it's really coming together. Really happy for him. Joe was really protecting him from the 3rd time through the order, but as you allude to, he is earning trust to go deeper.
Wondering if has potential to become a #3 pitcher? His current stats certainly support it.
That doesn't count b/c CRUNCH didn't see it on his 60" HDTV 5 times in replay.
I have seen many players "bail out" when the ball looked like it was gonna hit them.
Especially with the advent of the splitter and pitchers that can really get the ball to dance. Marmol, Sutter, Pedro Martinez, Curt Schilling, Derek Lowe, Smoltz, Arrietta...
These guys have made the best bail out only for the ball to come over the plate and be called a strike.
No shame in that. The same way players whiff hard enough to cause them to drill a hole in the ground from spinning.
a 60" TV with slow-motion replay and multiple looks on that replay helps...a lot...
it's one thing to shy away like he did the 2nd time, it's another to bail out of the box on a called strike. that happened in the 1st one he pulled away from. he misjudged that one by a foot or so...
Good Hendricks sure is fun to watch. He was hitting all his corners today and the Phillies couldn't do anything with his changeup.
Bryant and I believe Zobrist both did that too.
Soler BB acumen and plate awareness is excellent. Not unusual for even the best players to react as if they were about to hit them, "even though they weren't that close" from your vantage point sitting on your deck, or wherever.
soler vs inside breaking balls is scary.
he's had 2 inside curve balls today where he reacted as if they were about to hit him even though they weren't that close...one he bailed out of the box on, it was a called strike.
