Product Description
Space Hulk is a lavish board game that allows two players to recreate exciting combat missions fought between Space Marine Terminators and Genestealers. It is the game of man versus alien in desperate battle.
Space hulks are ruinous space-faring vessels, formed from the wreckage of dozens of ruined starships, asteroids and chunks of space debris. Directionless and set adrift these derelict masses drift through the Imperium, posing a dire threat to the star systems they enter. Space hulks often harbor alien life, and none so dangerous as the monstrous Genestealers -- swift and deadly aliens whose claws can shred armor plates, and whose vile nature is anathema to Mankind.
Dangerous though they are, space hulks are too valuable to simply destroy. The vessels that have been crushed together to form their ponderous bulk are often rare and ancient, and untold treasures of technology from ages past can be found aboard them. So it is that the Space Marines are called upon to investigate these space hulks. Clad in suits of powerful Terminator armor and equipped with deadly weapons, the Space Marines heroically board these giant space wrecks, prepared to do battle with the Genestealers to achieve their objectives.
Space Hulk contains twelve tense missions, each with a different objective. During play one player takes the role of the Space Marines, while the other controls the Genestealers. Once the game is over, the players can change sides and play the mission again, seeing who has the best tactics.
The Space Hulk boxed game contains everything you need to enjoy countless hours of fun, from stunning Citadel miniatures, eye-catching tokens and counters, to a lavish board made up of more than sixty hard-wearing and intricately detailed sections.

Product Reviews
Average Rating: 4.5 in 4 reviews
I bought this game nearly 15 years ago. First the basic set and thereafter two expansions and the campaign book. Me and my friends spent many many hours playing game after game. This game is very easy and quick to learn. No game is like ehe other. The atmosphere is tense and exciting, its really man versus alien in desperate battle. The only thing which could be mentioned negativly is the price but you get lots of stuff and the figures look even better when they get painted.
Everbody who interested in a fast and exciting 'table-top' combat game should take the chance and get a copy of this really great game from games workshop. (And dont be afraid you dont need to buy houndreds of figures as needed in other table-top-games. The ones included are fully sufficient.) So get your storm-bolters ready and have no fear.
I have both versions and all the expansions from the earlier version. Either one is a lot of fun and tense. I have played many games that come down to the last die roll to see who wins. Of the two versions although the 2nd edition looks better the first plays better. In the 1st edition your marines are under a time constraint and it's fun to watch people who aren't quick on their feet sweat and panic. Also the two expansions add a wealth of new options. The basic game is an all out attack on the alien genestealers who have no weapons. They try to overcome you through sheer numbers and speed { hence the time limit on the marines only } With the first expansion you not only get rules for solo adventuring you also get rules for new type of marines. Captains who can give you extra moves and fire power { and extra time }Lightning Claws { marines who can rip through genestealer armored hide } Thunder Hammers and psychers. If you manage to get your hands on a copy of ' Genestealer ' Then the game takes on a whole new dynamic. You are no longer against an enemy without weapons and you also have to contend with powerful genestealer psychers and possibly the big daddy of the them all, the Patiarch. I have yet to play a game that captures the feel of tension the way Space Hulk does. You may have to pay upwards of a $100 to get this game but I feel it's well worth it.
Space Hulk is one of those great games that can captivate you for hours. Although its mechanics are simplistic in the likes of Warhammer 40K, the tabletop wargame that shares the same setting, Space Hulk is good particular because it can be played in a relatively short amount of time (sometimes the setup can be annoying) and does not get bogged down with Warhammer's complexity. The game revolves around fighting inside derelict space crafts or 'space hulks', as they are called. The space marine forces board the crafts and basically 'go to town' on the vile genestealer hoards contained within. There are certain eccentricities within the game however that make it somewhat quirky to play on a regular basis, namely the overhwhelming advantage of the space marines forces. Playing as the genestealers is nearly suicide-even though your forces are greater in number they die twice as fast. But I suppose if you're really determined, with a little luck and good planning you might win as the purple hoard; but don't say I didn't warn you. All in all though it's a great game that provides entertainment and contains several different scenarios to indulge the gamer, each with a special objective for either side. The game includes 10 space marine terminator Citadel miniatures (which if you play Warhammer 40K is an added bonus) and about 30 genestealers. The rules are simple, fun and easy to learn. You really can't go wrong with this one.
I got a new copy of this game from Singapore (they still have several brand new boxes left) recently - this itself is a feat since this is an OOP version! - and while it is not cheap, it is certainly worth the money!
SH is for 2 players or 2 teams (much more exciting with 4-6 players split into 2 teams); one team taking 'an elite space marine squad' and the other taking 'the horrible alien genestealer creatures'.
What I like about this game:
- Every game is very different as it is played by scenarios (which can even be linked to a campaign). The rules provide two campaigns and many scenarios, and you can easily create your own. Scenarios include rescue missions, recons, demolitions, spying, etc.
- You really feel the tension as the game is designed to be played between 'very small teams of heavily armed' space marines vs 'savage alien genestealer beasts who can only do close combat' but who vastly outnumber the marines. Great game for people who like playing against the odds.
- The game system, particularly where the marines do not know HOW many aliens are approaching, only their location(s) through their 'life trackers'. This shows where some POSSIBLE life forms may be - then again, the aliens may be using decoys to divert the marines' attention.
- Unlimited board (repesenting the insides of giant space vessels called 'space hulks') permutations.
- Cool figures (citadel) of 10 marines and 20 aliens - even cooler if you paint them!
- Simple combat resolution - you can read the rules and be up and running in 15 minutes (however, assembling the figures will take you another 15-20 minutes).
What could make this game better:
- More variations in creature variety, capabilities, as well as marine capabiliites. However, once you are into it, you can always create your own alien races, capabilities (same for marines) and you can even buy various citadel figures for that.

Definition of Russian Revolution in English:
Russian Revolution
The revolution in the Russian empire in 1917, in which the tsarist regime was overthrown and replaced by Bolshevik rule under Lenin.
There were two phases to the Revolution: the first, in March (Old Style, February, whence February Revolution), was sparked off by food and fuel shortages during World War I and began with strikes and riots in Petrograd (St Petersburg). The tsar abdicated, and a provisional government was set up. The second phase, in November 1917 (Old Style, October, whence October Revolution), was marked by the seizure of power by the Bolsheviks in a coup led by Lenin. After workers' councils or soviets took power in major cities, the new Soviet constitution was declared in 1918

RETIRED: Target & Super Target Deals Thread. Keep OT to a minimum. Please read first post and both wikis before posting.
Score 0
Thread Details
Welcome to the new Target & Super Target deals thread!
Please read this post and the 2 wikis before posting and/or asking questions. Thanks!
Please keep all OT and chit chat to a minimum. For anything that is not deal-related, please join us here at the Target Chit Chat thread, in the ever-popular SD Lounge for lighthearted chit chat that may or may not be related to Target.
When you make a post you need to avoid doing a copy and paste of the work of someone else. It is stealing to copy and paste things directly from other sites such as the TT site.
We have been contacted by them and asked nicely to stop doing that.
If you see good coupons or deals just we love to have you share them with us, just be sure to rewrite them before posting.
Target Thread Rules:
- Do not ask (even in a covert way) for any coupon that has been scanned or discuss any coupon that is not used for its intended purpose. This goes for ALL scanned � this is what ALTERED means � this will cause this thread to shut down, per Moderator warning.
- Do not post directly to Ebay auctions. It is considered self-promotion because the mods don�t have a way to verify if you are the seller or not.
- Do not discuss or promote unethical and/or illegal activities with coupons or GCs (i.e. using expired coupons, using fake coupons, etc). Do not post expired coupons. Do not discuss ways to use expired manufacturer�s coupons (Clarification of this rule can be found here.)
- Do not discuss ways to misuse the true intent of a manufacturer coupon.
- Target.com has changed to the E-Centives coupon printing system where you have to download special software that keeps track of what you printed, like bricks coupons. The coupons print out directly to your printer. The manufacturer coupons printed from the Target.com website can NOT be posted here as they have a unique serial number above the right hand barcode. Target coupons printed from sites such as RedPlum are also now individually encoded and can NOT be posted here as well. If a Target coupon (such as those currently from Target.com) is not individually coded, it can be posted here.
- In keeping with SD rules, multiple per pages (MPPs) must be hosted off site, such as with google docs.
- Finally - Mod Alert any fighting! The mods would rather catch it in the beginning, versus going back 5 pages to see what happened.
Target Coupon Policy - Take a copy of this with you!

Quote :Dear Target Guest,
Thanks for writing back regarding our coupon acceptance at Target. When a coupon states one per purchase, and you have more than one, you can use one coupon per item, as each item is considered a purchase and not a transaction.
We always welcome your questions, so if we can assist you in the future, please contact our Target Guest Relations team at (800) 440-0680. You can also speak with a team member at the Guest Services Desk at your local Target store, or visit us on Target.com. Either way, we're here to help!
Thanks for shopping with us. I hope we'll see you again soon at Target.

Other Target Information
1. Mark Down Schedule - Please note that the list may not be entirely accurate, as some stores have reportedly made changes to this schedule and other stores may be days (or weeks) behind schedule!
- Monday - Electronics, Kids Clothing and Stationary (Cards, GiftWrap, etc.)
- Tuesday - Domestics, Women's Clothing, Pets and Market (food items)
- Wednesday - Men's Clothing, Toys, Health and Beauty, Lawn & Garden items

- If an item you want is out of stock, there should be a little tear off pad with rainchecks. You tear one off and take it to the cashier, tell them the quantity you want, and they will print a raincheck. Please note, current rainchecks do not have a barcode and when you go to use a raincheck, the cashier has to manually type it in rather than scanning a barcode.
- Target.com has switched to using E-Centives coupon printable software that limits and tracks the number of coupons you print and Target coupons can no longer be printed at the in store kiosks because of this.
6. Missed Coupon Policy
- Target stores will now match prices of other stores with a physical ad of the competing store. Please refer to their official price match policy at their website here [target.com].
8. Out Of Stock Items
- If an item is out of stock (OOS) on both the shelf and the backroom and needs to be ordered from the warehouse, there will be a small gray dot sticker on the shelf price tag of the item. If there is no gray dot on the shelf price tag, enter the DCPI number into an updated price check scanner to check back room stock of the item. If your store has the old style of scanners, ask a team member to check the stock of the item for you.
9. Contacting Guest Relations
- (800) 440-0680
- firstname.lastname@example.com
- Questions, Comments and/or Complaints about Target/Super Target and/or Team Members.
- When sending a Team Member compliment and/or complaint, keep in mind that ETL's get share-pay bonuses, while Team Members don't. Stores are responsible for store-controlled things like clean restrooms and sales floors, carts and hand baskets available, response time to the jewelry and electronics counters and Guest call buttons, etc. Also, use a different E-mail/name each time, else after 2-3 complaints they just refer you to the Store Team Leader (STL).

- If you feel it would be beneficial and helpful to the thread as a whole, go ahead and post an answer.

The mods are watching our thread closely--we want to keep things helpful and pleasant.
New to couponing? Please read hawaiiandawn's thread - New Q Shoppers, Don't be Scared! You Can Do This!!
New to the thread? Please read:
1) Target puts out their own coupons on their website. You can combine Target coupons and use them with manufacturer's coupons. So if you have a Target coupon for Heinz Ketchup for $1.00, and a manufacturer's coupon for Heinz Ketchup for $1.00 - you are allowed to use them both together and get $2.00 off your ketchup purchase. So check Target's website, I think they put up new coupons every other weekend.
2) You can also find Target coupons in the newspaper. If they aren't in your newspaper, check e*bay and coupon clipper sites - do a search for "Target coupons" and see what comes up. You can also combine these with manufacturer's coupons. Right now there are Target insert/newspaper coupons for $2.00 off Kotex items and there are manufacturer's coupons for $1.00 or $.50 off Kotex items. This makes some of the Kotex items FREE.
3) Check your coupons and make sure that they don't say "excludes trial items" on them. If they don't, you should be able to use them on trial items, potentially getting them FREE. (This varies from store to store, some stores will refuse you.) Not long ago, there were $1.00 Tide detergent coupons, and you could use them on the Tide trial sizes which were $1.00 = FREE Tide.
4) Keep your eyes open for coupons in the actual store. Sometimes Target will have tearpads, peelies, hangtags, etc, that are Target coupons. Again, you can combine them with your manufacturer coupons. Right now there are $1.00 Target Ziplock coupons attached to some Ziplock items in the store + $1.00 Ziplock manufacterer coupons = some pretty cheap darn Ziplock stuff..
5) Watch the Target ads for gift card deals. These are AWESOME. Combined with coupons, sometimes Target will pay YOU to take items off their hands. The last major one I remember was the Venus or Fusion razors.. it was buy two, get a $5 or $10 gift card, I can't remember which. And there were $4 coupons available to use on the razors. Buy two razors, use two $4 coupons and get handed a gift card back.. good deal. There's also a Sobe gift card deal coming up, making the Sobe free using coupons.
6) Keep your eyes open for coupons that say "buy x product, get y product free." Then combine those with other coupons. Example: I had coupons for $1.00 off Chinet plates. I also had coupons for FREE Heinz ketchup when you buy Chinet plates. I ALSO had $3 off $15 partyware purchase Target coupon. Combine all those, and I now live in a Chinet fort and take baths in ketchup. My skin has never looked so smooth (and tomatoey) and my utility bills have never been so high. (I'm kidding, I'm kidding.. )
Hope that helps out a little bit. We were all new once. Feel free to PM someone when you have a question about something they post here.. if they don't answer, at least you tried, right? And a bunch of people will answer.

I highly recommend printing the coupons right away if you are able to do so, as they are sometimes only available for a short period of time.
There are some new printable coupons available at target.com. I'm unable to print the coupons, so I unfortunately do not have all of the details.
I need to make sure I have all of the information for the coupons before I can update the Wiki. For those who have already printed the coupons,
I would like to know of any noteable differences in the description on the printed version of the coupons versus what is posted. I will wait for the
feedback before I update the Wiki so that I don't have to redo it later. Thanks in advance!
Here are the coupons that appear to be new:

I think these are correct but lots of distractions this am. LMK if there is a questionable detail.
New Printable Coupons Chat Thread
first of all, almost all of them state one per transaction. that person used approx 200 in one trans.
most stores will let you use a few like tq's in one transaction which was wonderful when the produce q was out the last 2 summers or the on gc deals where you usually have to buy anywhere from 2-10 items per transaction. there have been many cheap/free/mm deals at target over the years and we would like to keep it that way.
however, when someone abuses the tq to such an extent, inevitably the store and sometimes other area stores (b/c that person probably didn't do it at just one store) clamp down on tq usage and limit everyone to like tq per transaction.
just for example, last wk there was a b3 aveeno get $5 gc. there is a 1.00 aveeno tq out. in stores that have cracked down on tq usage, you would only be able to get 1.00 off instead of 3.00 off from tq's.
if you were not able to use just 2.00 in tq's every wk, that ends up as over $100 in one year. such coupon abuse has long lasting ramifications. it's not just one isolated incident where nobody else gets free jeans b/c that person got them all.
there has been a 1.00 produce tq for the last 2 summers. wouldn't you like to get 4 free apples instead of just 1??? would you drive all the way back to target another day just to get 1 more free apple? but would it be worth your while to get 4 free apples along w/ some cheap or free pens, handbags, jeans, etc, etc, etc.
it only takes one person to abuse a target coupon to that extent to mess it up for everyone who shops at that target and surrounding targets, not just the one or 2 that post from that store on sd. we know there are many sd'ers who never post but do partake of the good deals to be had here.
if the situation is severe enough, it can affect everyone who shops at target with coupons. about 3-4 yrs ago, the 5 off 25 toy coupon was altered. there was a press release, it made the news and nobody could use that coupon anymore. one of the long lasting affects of such coupon abuse is that there hasn't been such a generous toy coupon good for any toy out since then. it's very rare to have a tq good on any item in an entire department and we will certainly never see another one for the toy department.
with every massive coupon abuse, target changes the ways the target coupons are distributed and it gets more and more difficult to obtain them. when i first started, there were target coupon generators at multiple websites and you could print as many as you wanted from home. you could print them out from the gift registry kiosks in the store. b/c people abused the tq's, target moved to hiring a company that limits prints to 2 per computer and the more popular ones disappear w/in hours. this thread gets overrun with people begging for coupons, even though it is not allowed. this wk everyone will be begging for glade tq's, esp newbies and lurkers who have never posted b4 and don't know what's going on and don't bother to read the wiki. it's very irritating for everyone following the thread and esp for those like me who are not going to be buying any glade.
the earthquake happened in japan and the waves reached all the way to california.
pls next time have an understanding of the situation and all the facts b4 you present your argument. this time you had no idea what you were talking about and you jumped in with both feet.
Thanks for the thoughtful and informative post.
Rose art deluxe super sand art kit for 50% making it$4.98.There were many Rose artactivity kits marked down to 50% making them $4.98
This was marked down 15%-
And now coming down to coupons,came a cross two more links (making it 6 links totally)for P&G Organize in Style Coupon Books.-
Just in case if others missed the 4 links,here it is-
So you can request 6 books (1 coupon book per link)..

What is in this article?:
- Trapping feral hogs a test of patience
- Figure-8 trap
- Trapping wild pigs is a lot more complicated than setting a trap and waiting until a pig stumbles into it. Successful trapping requires reconnaissance, bait selection, attention to detail in building the trap — and, perhaps most important, patience.
Figure-8 trap
Researchers are also looking at a figure-8 trap for areas where multiple groups of pigs come in at different times of the night. Each oval of the figure-8 would have a separate baiting area and a separate trigger, so pigs coming in later would not be closed out of the trap.
Telemetry, placing collars on wild pigs, also may help improve trapping techniques. The collars follow pig movements and increase understanding of travel and feeding patterns.
Trappers have a market for live hogs, Higginbotham says. "We average selling 80,000 pigs to buyers every year. A big pig will bring 40 cents a pound." Trapped pigs are slaughtered and inspected by the USDA.
No toxicants are currently permitted for hog control in Texas, but that may change, he says. "(Researchers) are evaluating sodium nitrate as a toxicant for wild pigs. The delivery system is the key."
That key is a heavy hopper with a lid that hogs can lift with their snouts. "When the hogs back away, the lid slams shut," denying access to non-target species. "Pre-baiting is necessary."
Higginbotham says one potential sticking point is that raccoons may have access to the feeders.
"Pigs are very susceptible to sodium nitrate, but it is very humane. The pigs just go to sleep and don't wake up. We see a good potential to get this registered by 2015. Every new tool we get will help."

Fruity Farm Frivolity at Craigie's, Perfect Strawberry Jam and a SPECIAL OFFER for YOU
When I was younger I spent many a summer afternoon on my hands and knees picking strawberries at a nearby farm. Tragically, this farm and many others like it have closed their doors in recent years. So when I decided, in a recent bout of nostalgia, to relieve my good friend of her brood and take them fruit picking for the last day of the school holidays, I had to do a bit of hunting around before I came across Craigie's Farm, about thirty minutes from Glasgow.
Craigie's farm has tractor rides, live animals, nature walks, a café and shop, and of course, fruit picking. It is fun, educational and best yet counts as one of your five-a-day. What more could a mother ask for? Table-top growing, that's what. I'd like to think I still have it in me to make it up from a kneeling position unscathed, but for those who might find it a struggle, Craigie's cater for everyone; growing some of their strawberries on raised platforms so picking fresh fruit doesn't have to be back breaking. Sadly we weren't there early enough for the Breakfast Tractor Tours and so, though they grow a wide array of fruit and veg we opted (perhaps in another moment of nostalgia) to pick strawberries, which thanks to frozen plants and covered tunnels can be picked at Craigie's six months of the year! Ideal.
After some seriously extensive picking (the kids LOVED it), we made our way to the café completely laden with strawberries for a well-earned seat. And whilst the gang entertained themselves in the play park (complete with toy tractor, eek the excitement) I sat down with the man who runs the show, John Sinclair, over a brew, to learn more about the farm.
As I suspected, Craigie's is a wonderfully family-run affair. John's grandfather first came to Craigie's over two hundred years ago and the Sinclair family have been running things since. Originally a dairy farm, Craigie's didn't even start growing fruit until the 1980s, but since then they have expanded to add the shop (great local produce at affordable prices!), café and butchery. What more do you need?
Maybe just the perfect jam recipe. I bow to John and his family's superior jam-making skills and generously they have bestowed upon us a fantastic recipe for strawberry jam and some top tips for making:
Any problems? You could always go along to one of the classes run by John's wife and mother (of course!). And to find out what on earth we did with all these strawberries coming out of ears, check out Mabel's Kitchen and Mabel's Nursery for some more scrumptious recipe ideas!
Thanks to the lovely John, you can mention Mabel's Log when you book for the Breakfast Farm Tours (running this October) and get a FABULOUS 15% OFF!! To find out more information about this fantastic farm visit www.craigies.co.uk.

Fifa threat to ban France over political interference
Sepp Blatter has warned the French government to keep its nose out football
Fifa president Sepp Blatter has told the French government not to get involved in the running of its national football team as the inquest into 'Les Blues' disastrous World Cup campaign continues. And he warned that any more interference could lead to the French Football Federation being banned from international competitions.
His shot across the bows of the French government came yesterday, as discredited French football coach Raymond Domenech prepared for his appearance this morning before the country's National Assembly. Domenech and the recently deposed president of the French Football Federation, Jean-Pierre Escalettes, were summoned to face the deputies at 9am sharp.
Blatter has become increasingly concerned with what he sees as political interference by President Sarkozy and his ruling UMP party following France's appalling World Cup campaign. France finished bottom of Pool A, failing to win a game and suffering humiliating defeats to Mexico and South Africa, but it was the internecine warfare that most dismayed Sarkozy with players going on strike after forward Nicolas Anelka was sent home for insulting Domenech.
Since the squad returned from South Africa on Thursday, the government has promised the French people that never again will such a calamity be allowed to happen. Escalettes was the first casualty. He resigned on Monday, a few days after sports minister Roselyne Bachelot announced that his position was untenable. Domenech had already intended to step down at the end of the World Cup come what may, but even with those two gone French politicians appear to want to go further.
There have been calls from the UMP for a commission of inquiry to be established and last week Sarkozy held a meeting with Prime Minister Francois Fillon and Bachelot to discuss reforming the way the sport is run in France. After the meeting Sarkozy's office issued a statement, saying: "The head of state asked the ministers to make sure that those responsible draw the consequences for this disaster." The statement went on to say that a report on the state of the game in France will be completed by October and "following their conclusions, the government will launch a more generalised review of the governance of sporting federations."
Blatter is reportedly so alarmed at the prospect of presidential meddling that he took the unusual step of warning Sarkozy not to tamper with how football is run in France. "We don't want political interference," said Blatter, speaking to reporters in Johannesburg on Tuesday. "The national sports law exists but in the Fifa statutes, no political interference can be tolerated."
Acknowledging that he was sending a "clear and clean message" to President Sarkozy, Blatter continued: "In France they have made an affair d'etat with football, but football remains in the hands of the federation."
And Blatter emphasised that Fifa would not hesitate to act if they felt they had to: "We will help the national association and if it cannot be solved by consultation, then the only thing we have is to suspend the federation," he said. "Definitely, I can tell you that political interference will be dealt with by Fifa notwithstanding what kind of interference and what is the size of the country."
Sarkozy's political opponents, meanwhile, accuse him of opportunism and exploiting Les Bleus' shambolic World Cup for his own political gain. Bruno Le Roux of the Socialist Party has described the fallout from the French team's failure as "grotesque and ridiculous" while a former minister of sports, Marie-George Buffet, labelled the decision to summon Domenech and Escalettes before the National Assembly as a "circus".

MONROE — Anna Gristina, the native Scot and Monroe mom whom prosecutors accused of running a high-profile, multimillion-dollar prostitution ring in Manhattan, was given her promised sentence Tuesday morning of time served.
Gristina was sentenced to six months in jail followed by five years' probation.
Prosecutors claimed she ran a $2,000-an-hour escort service and made millions over the last 15 years, the New York Post reported. At home in Monroe, Gristina lived with her husband, Kelvin Gorr, their kids and three rescue dogs. She also took in rescue pigs as co-owner of the Pig Placement Network.
She pleaded guilty in September to promoting prostitution.
Gristina's lawyer Norman Pattis took swipes at the Manhattan District Attorney's Office after Tuesday's sentencing, the Post reported.
"She pled out to a sting operation by one cop — who paid $2,000 of taxpayers' money to watch two women" engage in a sex act, Pattis said.
In written comments to the Times Herald-Record, Pattis said his client will be writing a book and tending to her animal rescue work.
Erin Duggan, spokeswoman for District Attorney Cy Vance, said there was nothing glamorous about prostitution.
"Anna Gristina rented women's bodies for profit, which makes her a pimp. That also makes her a felon, and the court has now issued that judgment. She has no one to blame but herself for her decisions."

You may have read about Jeremiah Glum, of East Cupcake, Iowa. He has diabetes. In 1951, he left our hospital superbly regulated and painstakingly instructed. He returned to the Out-Clinic a week later, complaining bitterly of seven subcutaneous abscesses. The abscesses puzzled us, but eventually we discovered their cause. The patient had tested the urine four times daily by boiling 5 ml. of urine with 8 drops of insulin, and had injected 20 units of Benedict's solution subcutaneously half an hour before breakfast daily. This apocryphal story stems, so far as I know, from the 1920's, but it emphasizes my theme, which is that many diabetics appear to have been poorly instructed and that what's past is prologue. Regulation does not connote simply the negative virtues of an orthodox doctrinal theology, but has meaning because a number of studies have suggested that good control favors a longer and healthier life

The Trials and Tribulations of Darius
Kea isn't so bad after all.August 8th 2007 6:55 am
[ Leave A Comment ]
Well I've (we've) been without Yoda now for almost a month. Mom is still crying and she hasn't been able to bring herself to put Yoda's kennel, bed, and stuff away yet. When she goes into the spare room she comes out crying and there isn't much that I can do about it even though I try. She doesn't seem to realize that I miss Yoda sooo much. At least I've been able to play with Kea. She isn't as bad as I thought when Mom first brought her home, but she still tries to steal Mom from me. I'll go over to spend some time with Mom and if Kea notices, she tries to get in my way and steal my Mom from me. Of course when Kea does that Mom tells her to back up and lets me get up in her lap. Then Kea puts her paws up on the chair and the three of us have some good family time together. Kea might just turn out to be fun to be with after all.

Bullock reflects on time as trustee
January 16, 2014
GENOA CITY — "I hope that people will remember that I cared and made a difference," said Karen Bullock.
In April, Bullock will no longer be a village trustee. In 2011, she was appointed to fill the spot vacated by Ed Lilla, then she was elected to the position in 2012.
But in a Jan. 11 email, she said she won't seek re-election because "as my children get older, the activities they are involved with have greater time commitments. I want to be available to support them in their activities."
On the phone Jan. 8, Genoa City Village President Bill Antti said Bullock has a young son and a daughter in high school. He said he can understand her reasons for not seeking re-election this April, but he also will miss her as a board member.
"She's an intelligent person," said Antti. "She worked really hard. It's kind of sad to see people leave that you work with and respect."
Bullock said there are numerous scheduling conflicts for her in the future. Antti said being a board member "takes a lot more time than people realize."
"I'm hoping she's coming back to the board some time because she's an asset, I think, to the community," he said.
JoAnn Hollander also called Bullock an asset. She serves on the village hall committee chaired by Bullock.
"She really did her homework," said Hollander, "she went beyond what was required for her to do the job, above and beyond. … I have nothing but positive things to say about her."
Perhaps Bullock's legacy will be as chair of the village hall committee, which was created by the board to identify current issues with the village hall and police department building and suggest possible solutions.
Hollander said Bullock spent several hours spreading the word about the village hall issue — in local newspapers, online and public postings — and "I just think she did an amazing job."
But there was controversy surrounding the issue, and in public, some residents openly criticized Bullock.
"I think it was unfair because I think she felt like she was under a microscope," Antti said. "I think she stood up to it well. Being on the board is not necessarily an easy thing, (but) I'm sure she could feel some animosity from some people."
Bullock discussed the village hall issue in her answer to the question of what she hoped to accomplish on the board.
"I think my mission as a board member was presented to me when I was assigned chair of the village hall committee. As I learned more about the issues of the current building and can visualize the potential of doing something different, it is a mission that I am passionate about and put a great deal of time and effort into. It is hard to please everyone and while there is some opposition to the idea, there are many within the community that are supportive. I am pleased that money has been set aside for a project and look forward to seeing a project come to fruition."
Below Bullock responded to Regional News questions for a Q&A.
Regional News: What is your favorite part of being a village trustee?
Karen Bullock: It was interesting to have firsthand, current knowledge of what is going on in the community. The village employees and elected officials care a lot about Genoa City. It was an honor to work with them and to serve the community.
RN: What is the worst part?
KB: About a year and ago, I went to a couple of programs offered by the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp. (WEDC). There are other communities the size of Genoa City that participate in programs that strive to make themselves better for the citizens and more attractive to business.
This community has a lot of potential and some complain that there isn't enough going on here. In order to change things, people have to be willing to get involved in supporting the positive things this community has to offer, whether that be business, service organizations or the local government.
To apply for a program like Connect Communities or Mainstreet, which are both through the WEDC, a great deal of volunteer effort is required both in the application process and to carry out the missions of the program. It doesn't seem like we have that within the community. So, the worst part is seeing potential and not having the resources to effect change.
RN: What did you learn as a trustee?
KB: The way that things are handled in a municipality, especially some of the financial aspects, (which) are very different than how things are handled on a personal level.
Yet, just like a household, the income is limited. The village has fixed costs and, on this scale, it takes a lot to move the needle, whether that refers to taxes or utilities.
Once you understand what goes into the budgets, both income and expenses, you understand the costs associated with living here better.
RN: Would you ever run for village trustee or any other municipal position in the future? Why/why not?
KB: I would consider it again in the future, but children are only young for a short time, and I will enjoy every opportunity and support their activities.

This is why you (and your art) get ignored.People often get the sense of being ignored in the art-scene, especially here online. We all try so hard to get our foot in the door, it's like trying to stuff yourself in an overfull bus like a sardine in a can.This is why you (and your art) get ignored. by Suzanne-Helmigh
Sometimes you just want to socialize with other artists you admire and you seem to be talking into a brick wall or perhaps you've send your portfolio to a company over a dozen times and still don't even seem to get the smallest response or feedback. I will try and tell you WHY you get ignored and HOW you can get noticed instead.
I will go through the following cases of being ignored:
Your comment.
Your art.
Your Portfolio.
Do know, that even though being ignored feels very personal it's hardly ever personal at all!
Your comment(s) gets ignored.
It happens ever so often. You notice an artwork or a discussion and you weigh in with your opinion or admiration, perhaps even some feedback? T

NW Denver's Live Music Round-up April 3 – April 16: A touch of greatness
April 4, 2014 by admin
by Maggie Tharp
"Some are born great; some achieve greatness; others have greatness thrust upon them," wrote William Shakespeare. This week I'll be thrusting greatness on you with this stellar lineup of shows. Now, to me, anyone who can get on a stage and bare their art and soul to even just 10 people is a definite big shot in my book. But there are others who, by hard work and talent, have achieved local, national or global renown. This week's lineup includes artists who have achieved that status and are bringing their finely tuned talents right here to North Denver.
Film Viewing of Our Vinyl Weighs a Ton
Thursday, April 3, 8 p.m. (doors open at 7 p.m.)
@ The Oriental Theater, 4335 W. 44th Ave.
Tickets: $10
In this in-depth documentary, director Jeff Broadway of Los Angeles explores the workings of the avant garde, L.A. record label Stones Throw Records, which was founded by world-famous DJ Peanut Butter Wolf. Stones Throw helped launch the career of soul and hip hop singer Aloe Blacc – whose current fame can be partially attributed to "Wake Me Up," an EDM remix of one of this songs by DJ Avicii that became an overwhelming success – as well as the careers of other non-traditional artists. The documentary features interviews with several well-known artists, including Snoop Dogg and Kanye West. In truth, it's not a music show like this column usually covers, but it deserves mention because of the subject matter and the prestigious fact that it's showing at North Denver's own Oriental Theater. "It's a pretty big deal that we actually got it," said Scott LaBarbera, owner and head talent buyer of the Oriental. Director Jeff Broadway, who reached out to LaBarbera about showing the film, wanted the Oriental because it's a theater that also offers a diverse line-up of live shows. "He wanted it to be at a place that wasn't just a regular theater," LaBarbera added. Our Vinyl Weighs A Ton has also been shown at the Leeds International Festival, the Stockholm and Los Angeles film festivals, and most recently at South By Southwest.
Highway 50
Friday, April 11, 9:30 p.m.
@ Local 46, 4586 Tennyson St.
No cover
If your idea of a good night out includes music that's both chill as all get-out and extremely danceable, you're not going to want to miss this show at Local 46. Boulder-based Highway 50 is an indie group that takes influence from ska, reggae, jazz, pop and R&B. The band is a project of Al Laughlin, a member of the well-known Boulder-based group The Samples, formed in 1987, who lead a successful musical career, which included touring with bands like The Allman Brothers, Blues Traveler and Phish, and even having Dave Matthews band open for them. "They're pretty legendary in the Colorado music scene," said Local 46's music booker Daren Hahn regarding The Samples. That's part of why he's excited for the show, which promises lots of good vibes and high energy. But Highway 50 isn't riding on the coattails of the Samples by any means. Highway 50 cites The Police (and The Samples… how meta) as sound-a-likes, which can be easily heard in Laughlin's youthful, tenor vocals on Highway 50's songs. You can hear an array of their music on ReverbNation, and I have to say, I loved every song. Some are chill enough to do a few a sun salutations to, while others made me want to bust out a reggae sway in the middle of my living room. If you're free April 11 (and if you're not, free up your schedule), check out Highway 50; because full dance floor, a cold beer and some spunky, hypnotic reggae never disappoints.
Rodney Atkins
Friday, April 11, 10 p.m. (doors open at 6 p.m.)
@ Grizzly Rose, 5450 N. Valley Hwy.
Tickets: $25-$30
For some reason, country music is a genre that most people seem to either love or hate. County music has its devoted disciples, and just as many from the other camp who thinks it's cheesy and hokey. Whatever your opinion on this issue, you'll probably find Rodney Atkins almost unbearably likeable. A good-old-boy who sports a frayed cap, slim jeans and camo with incredible sincerity and ease, Atkins is known for radio hits like "Watching You," a heart warming parable about the nice and not-so-nice things children pick up from their parents. The accompanying video features Atkins' own cherubic son. Also, "When You're Going Through Hell," which talks about weathering the hard times with the help of your faith. The 44-year-old singer and guitarist is completely sure of his voice and his subject matter, which, as evidenced above, deals in old-fashioned values. I'm not a country lover, per se, but after an Atkins ballad about love, honesty and tradition, I think I could be a convert. You'll notice this show is on the same night as Highway 50's. It's a hard choice, but I'm sure you can make it.

2013 to be the Year of Italian Culture in the United States, during which America will discover Italy and all its values: culture, arts, sciences, and advanced technologies. The aim of this yearlong journey is to communicate and promote Italy, and to create new, and reinforce the already longstanding bonds uniting Italy and the United States, by engaging Americans in numerous cultural activities taking place in major American cities throughout the year.
ble year presenting the innovative, forward moving Italy, was released.

It looks to me like so called Italophiles have decided to take over the world (or at least the United States).
It all started with Lidia the cooking lady on PBS when she started doing an "Italy in America" cooking series.
And now the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has declared 2013 "The Year of Italian Culture in the U.S." and has organized a massive year-long celebration with 180 events in 40 cites, all designed to highlight Italian culture in America!
Plus I also hear people talking about "Italian lifestyle walking tours" that are designed to guide the public through authentic Italian lifestyle experiences in cites and towns across America. (http://www.theitalianwayapp.com)
It's evidently a great time to be an Italophile. But I wonder if it's possible for most Americans to actually adopt the ways of the Italian people. We seem to have an epidemic of stress, yet find it difficult to slow down and learn the healthy lifestyle lessons Italians have to teach -- that true happiness comes from savoring simple moments, taking the time to enjoy fresh healthy food, appreciating good wine, and spending time with family and friends.
Life is not perfect in Italy, but I suppose it's possible that incorporating the Italian culture into American society will give us newfound health and happiness. Italophiles of all kinds seem to be committed to making this happen.
Io non sono uno di parlare, ma... "Italy ends at the Garigliano – no?"
I can't help but notice: Verdi, Michaelangelo, Boccaccio, Machiavelli...
17 million American Terroni, as per Gramsci brilliant concept of cultural hegemony, continue to be convinced that they have no history of culture. For example, in the March 2013 celebration of Italian photographers Lateza Battaglia didn't "make the cut"...outrageous! But than again she is not Italian... Lei è Siciliano!!!

CHARLESTON -- Third grader Catie Austin finished writing on her red heart-shaped paper, took a piece of tape from her teacher and hung it on the window of her classroom.
The 8-year-old then recalled what message she wrote about her late principal Becky Stewart: "She was a very nice lady. She had a good personality and has very nice kids. She was very smart, and I loved her a lot," Catie said.
Catie's classmate, Roge Modicue, 8, also wrote a message on his paper heart.
"Mrs. Stewart was a nice principal to have. I had great time with her, and she was very nice," Roge said.
Students and staff at Hearnes Elementary School in Charleston took time today to celebrate the life of their principal who died unexpectedly Oct. 20. Stewart was 36.
"This is for the kids to honor Mrs. Stewart," said third grade teacher Robin Smith. "This gives the kids a hands-on way to do something and express their feelings."
Red hearts like Catie's and Roge's featuring messages from students and staff to Stewart adorn all the windows at every building in the Charleston R-1 School District.
"The hearts are a sign of how important she was to us and means to us," assistant principal Tammy Brock said. "We're always going to keep her in our thoughts. ... We have an extra angel watching over us now."
Stewart's "school family" at Hearnes also honored Stewart with a "drop everything and read" session today.
"She loved reading, and that was very important to her that all kids read," Brock said.
At the conclusion of the reading, each student in prekindergarten through sixth grades -- about 700 students -- released a balloon in Stewart's memory from the school playground.
Brock said the celebration was planned by teachers at the school and with permission from the superintendent.
"They thought it would be good to do something in celebration of her life and also so the kids had closure," Brock said.
Mary Barnhill, second grade teacher at Hearnes, said she thought the celebration would "thrill" Stewart.
"She'd be so happy that so many people cared. (If she were here) she'd be right in the middle of it all. She liked activities," Barnhill said.
Even though the celebration was for the students, the adults in their lives also benefitted from it. Barnhill said in the 31 years she's worked as a teacher -- and 19 years at Hearnes -- she's never experienced anything like the aftermath of Stewart's death.
"It's a hard situation," Barnhill said. "When you work with someone every day, there's a void."
But Barnhill said she and fellow staff members feel blessed for what time they did have with Stewart.
"There's so much to say (about Stewart) and to pick one thing is hard to do because she touched so many lives here," Smith said.
In the school's office, a large laminated cutout of a tree called "Complimentary Tree ... in Bloom" where compliments are posted about staff members is full of pictures of Stewart and messages from her co-workers.
"We're going to greatly miss her," Brock said. "We're going to miss her laugh. She loved to tell stories. She enjoyed life."
But the educators know they must to go on.
"She would want us to be here with the students because it's important for the kids to be here at this school," Barnhill said. "She wouldn't want us to stop one minute so that's what we've done -- I think she'd be proud of all of us."

System needs to endJuly 12,2014
System needs to end
Sixteen-year-old Mohammad Abu Khdeir was found dead after having been burned alive in East Jerusalem, an apparent victim of a revenge attack following the killing of three Israeli teenagers on the West Bank. He was the 10th Palestinian killed by the Israeli military or right-wing extremists in the last two weeks.
We mourn all lost lives. To honor them all, we need to think about how to change the conditions that make such unthinkable violence possible. The ongoing Israeli occupation is at the heart of this crisis.
While we mourn the three Israeli teenagers killed in the West Bank, we should also mourn the 1,384 Palestinian children killed by the Israeli military since 2000, according to the Israeli human-rights group BTselem. Thats one Palestinian child killed by the Israeli military every three to four days. These deaths are virtually ignored by the mainstream media.
We cannot ignore the huge power difference between Israelis and Palestinians or pretend it is just a cycle of violence with no root cause or context. These horrific incidents are happening in the context of an ongoing colonial occupation, itself a system of daily violence.
That system, which by its very nature puts the lives and human rights of all in jeopardy, needs to end.

Study shows sonogram law does little to prevent abortions
AUSTIN — Preliminary results from a recent study on the 24-hour waiting period before having an abortion show that the time did not deter the woman's final decision to have the abortion.
Rep. Jessica Farrar, D-Houston, said she will file a bill this week that would overturn the waiting period passed by the Legislature in 2011. The sonogram law passed last session requires women seeking an abortion to get a sonogram and have their doctor describe the fetal development. Women then must wait 24 hours — or two hours if they live more than 100 miles from a clinic — before having the procedure.
Advocates for the law said it provides women more medical information and allows them to meet with their doctors prior to the abortion — something they complained rarely happened before the law.
And advocates said they hope that it will dissuade women from undergoing the abortion.
Farrar said she is not expecting a miracle with her bill, but it is important that legislators get some push back on the issue. In addition, she said she is hoping that millions that were cut from the budget last session can be restored to family planning programs.
"It's just ridiculous that we do things to women to manipulate their minds instead of trusting that they already made a very difficult decision," she said. "We don't put the woman first. The Legislature needs to step away and allow health care professionals to make those decisions. But unfortunately it has been a political issue."
Of the 89 percent of women who reported being extremely confident in their decisions to have an abortion, the number of women who felt the same after the consultation was unchanged.
The study also showed a negative effect on the emotional well-being of white women, women who are college graduates and women with insurance. It did show a decrease in the number of abortions statewide, which researchers cite is a result of lack of convenient access to care.
In the three months before getting pregnant, Dr. Daniel Grossman, one of the study's investigators, reported that 45 percent of women were not able to access their method of birth control because of cost, lack of insurance, or they couldn't find a clinic.
An abortion affiliate ban passed in 2011 ruled out Planned Parenthood as an approved provider making it harder for half of the state's 110,000 low-income women in the Medicaid program who used Planned Parenthood as their main choice for contraceptive and preventative care.
"It really highlights how particularly cruel it is to put these restrictions on abortion care while at the same time cutting family planning services that could potentially prevent these unplanned pregnancies," Grossman said.
On Tuesday, Gov. Rick Perry threw his support behind a bill by Sen. Glenn Hegar, R-Katy, and Rep. Jodie Laubenberg, R-Parker, that would ban abortions after 20 weeks.
"The state has a responsibility to prevent the needless suffering of our most vulnerable citizens," Perry said. "Texas has done a great deal of work over the last several years to nurture our culture of life, and we will continue to do everything we can to protect the lives of the unborn, until abortion is finally a thing of the past."
The study is an ongoing three-year effort by the Texas Policy Evaluation Project that surveyed 318 women seeking an abortion, and has so far followed up with 20 patients a few months after the procedure.
It was led by researchers at the University of Texas at Austin, Ibis Reproductive Health and the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
New coalition will try to get state to restore family planning funding
AUSTIN — A new bipartisan group will try to sway the state and ensure the restoration of family planning funding to the state preventive health care program.
The Texas Women's Healthcare Coalition, with the help of representatives Jessica Farrar, D-Houston; Donna Howard, D-Austin; Sarah Davis, R-Houston; and Justin Rodriguez, D-San Antonio, intends to urge the Legislature to restore funding.
The 2011 Legislature cut about $73.6 million out of the $111.5 million family planning budget for 2012-13 biennium, resulting in the loss of funding for about 147,000 Texans and more than 180 clinics, and the closure of more than 50 clinics.
"This is not about abortion, this is about prevention," said Dr. Janet Realini, chair of the coalition's steering committee.
The state family planning program is managed by the Department of State Health Services and funded through federal Title X dollars. The funding goes to clinics that provide low-income patients with STD testing and treatment, contraception, well-women exams and cancer screening exams.
Ana Vi Cantu, a mother of three living in South Texas and working while attending school, teared up at the Wednesday news conference saying her family planning clinic used to be open five days a week and now only stays open three days making it harder for her to get care.

In the Île-de-France region, the new gymnasium at Chelles by french firm LAN architecture is an exceptional example of a public building with a strong architectural identity. The town council's aim was that this local amenity should play a key role in the harmonious redefinition of the urban landscape. Located in the town centre, the project enhances the surrounding architectural heritage, composed of the Collège Weczerka, the Centre d'Art Contemporain "Les Églises" and the Town Hall.
Respecting each edifice's identity and acting as a link between them, it helps re-establish an aesthetic equilibrium. The reorganised esplanade was conceived as its natural extension and redefines its use as a pedestrian circulation area. The gymnasium is an innovative example of the increasingly adoption of HEQ norms in the construction or refurbishment of public buildings.
The project is the culmination of the town council's carefully thought-out plan to transform the site into an open public space. The double-skin façade, with glass on the outside and copper-covered wood panels on the inside, creates a strong architectural identity. The paving of the esplanade, a combination of bush-hammered concrete and large plaques of Core-ten finish concrete, echoes the walls of the gymnasium.
This so-called "contextual" architecture takes into account the dense and varied environment and dynamises the setting. The glass facade amplifies perception of the surrounding space by reflecting the buildings around the square, not merely by mirroring them but by diffracting their image and creating a specific optical effect. 60% of the gymnasium's total surface is covered with glass and copper.
The interplay of light and shade conceals the building's framework and gives it its mineral appearance, elegance and lightness. The technical system used for the envelope is simple: a steel structure, glass façades with the lower walls in insulated concrete with copper cladding inside. This double skin ensures optimum acoustic insulation. The copper-covered wood panelling absorbs noise and reduces resonance in the large gymnasium space within.
The new esplanade was conceived as both a meeting place and a transit space, and develops the idea already sketched in by the architect Marc Barani for the Contemporary Art Centre. The subtle chequerboard arrangement of large bush-hammered and Cor-ten finish concrete slabs gives the square another dimension and highlights the entrances to the Town Hall and college. As a natural extension of the gymnasium, the esplanade reinforces the overall impression of harmony.

Solana Beach: Fire-management services raising the bar and saving money
By Marlena Chavira-Medford/Staff Writer
It's not often city officials find a way to save tax dollars while improving services for their residents — especially if it involves navigating uncharted territory. However, the Fire Department Shared Management Services between Solana Beach, Del Mar, Encinitas and Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District is seemingly the exception to the norm.
After just one year, the program has already saved more than $1 million in tax dollars cumulatively across the four communities it serves: Solana Beach has saved $124,200; Del Mar has saved $226,000; Encinitas has saved $229,000; and the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District has saved $432,832. And thanks to the command realignment it brought about, battalion chiefs are now just minutes away instead of having to be paged in from places as far away as Vista. That's important because though firefighters serve as frontline responders, a battalion chief acts as the logistical command center during an emergency.
"A battalion chief can stand back and assess the situation and be that extra safety watch out, it's a very important role," explained Solana Beach City Manager David Ott, who helped design and launch the program.
Serving as fire chief in Del Mar and Solana Beach from 2003 to 2006, Ott gained a deep insight to fire services and soon realized it made sense for smaller communities like these to join forces. That lack of a unified firefighting service within the county became especially apparent in the wake of the devastating 2003 Cedar wildfires, he said. It was around that time he started exploring the possibility of establishing a joint-effort program, something that had never been done locally. Finally getting Encinitas, Rancho Santa Fe, Del Mar and Solana Beach all on one page was no small feat.
"We were working with four local governments, and each had its own different policies and training procedures," Ott said. "Condensing all of those was a challenge. I think the initial tendency was to get everything perfect. We eventually just realized that we were never going to get it perfect, so we agreed to resolve the issues as they came up."
And though the program's first year has "gone better than most thought it would," there have been a few tweaks along the way. The program has gone through two realignments, further consolidating the positions and duties shared by the four communities. Ott said the program will likely continue to evolve as needed in time and, currently, an ad hoc committee is exploring some governing options, like a joint-powers-authority.
"Overall, the success of this program has been a pleasant surprise," he said.
The program has done so well, in fact, that some communities in East County are looking to this program as a blueprint of sorts. The program's model is especially relevant now in the midst of a down economy and budget cuts, which is forcing firefighters to learn how to do more with less — a model that could potentially work with other city services. The program, Ott added, worked because "everyone bought into the idea that this was a good thing."
"This program has allowed us to provide a higher level of service for a cheaper cost," he said. "It's been a positive, rewarding program and we're looking forward the program's continued success."

Port Royal's Mouse-Hole
Lego Pirates Creation
"The stern rule and heavy guarding of this Royal colony was meant as a symbol to deter all piracy. Without the proper documentation and paperwork, leaving and entering the city is near impossible. But outside the walls are various buildings used for shops and bait houses. With the right form of distraction, 'Smith's Fishing Wares' is a great way to get into the city without the need of endless paperwork as is has a secret tunnel under the wall."

Arr...Nevermind....Because of the fact that the walls are a solid white I decided to go for a different background rather than my standard white expanse. So now you guys can see the actual build!

Fox gets start at DH against left-hander
It didn't take long for manager Bob Geren to tinker with his batting order, though he cautioned not to read too much into Wednesday's lineup against the Seattle Mariners.
Jake Fox was in the DH spot in place of Eric Chavez, and second baseman Mark Ellis batted second with Daric Barton dropping down to sixth.
Chavez went 1-for-9 through the A's first two games, and though Geren said Saturday that he considers Chavez his regular designated hitter, he also mentioned Monday that a rough estimate might have Chavez starting four to five games a week.
With Seattle throwing a left-hander in Ryan Rowland-Smith, Geren took the opportunity to give the right-handed hitting Fox his first start as an Athletic. Fox was acquired in December from the Chicago Cubs.
"He's a fine hitter and he's going to bring something to our lineup," Geren said. "He's a nice complement to Eric at DH."
Geren went with Ellis, another right-handed bat, as his No. 2 hitter against Rowland-Smith but said he still likes Barton in the second spot because of his plate discipline.
Barton was 0-for-5 through the first two games but drew four walks.
So it's fitting that the lefty makes his season debut against the Mariners this afternoon, then comes back and faces them Tuesday at Safeco Field in his second start.
Anderson went 2-2 with a 3.41 ERA against the Mariners in 2009.
"Even though they've got some new acquisitions, (Chone) Figgins I faced a bunch of times with Anaheim," Anderson said. "With most of their hitters, I've got an idea of what they're trying to do."
Conceivably, that could have him returning for a three-game series against the New York Yankees on April 20-22, although the following series against Cleveland might be more realistic.
Wuertz threw from the mound Wednesday, though the catcher was standing in front of home plate.

I know your hurting gooner, but please stop beating yourself and others up about it. Its plain you are a pessimist, but our glass is far from 'half empty'. There's plenty more left of Arsenal this season.Did you ever give a thought to how others feel with your constant belly aching about 'oh dear we must strengthen etc. etc.' What, if anything, is it that you want out of us? You talk as though anything we say on here reflects on decisions Arsene Wenger makes concerning who and what we buy!! Even how we play, for Gods sake!! Its just never ending with you. If you're getting a hard time from someone down the pub, then suggest you show a bit of back bone and get stuck into them, like a true 'gooner' would.
SSSsss! Oooooo! A right, a left, and then a stunning right uppercut. Almost cut you in half there gooner! Now, no bawling into your cereal tomorrow, if we dont measure up to your expectations. After all as good old Jimmy G once said."Its a funny old game". And I would add; 'so live with it'.

In a nonfiction work of tremendous vision, Michael Madsen pre-enacts how an alien invasion might unfold. Rather than wild speculation, this modern equivalent of Welles' War of the Worlds broadcast draws from erudite sources inside the United Nations' Office for Outer Space Affairs. Despite its factual foundations, Madsen's film still inspires wonder thanks to an enthralling interview technique that sees its subjects directly addressing the camera, putting us in the place of the otherworldly visitor and leaving us to question humanity's role in the universe.
