Let's face it, James Spader is pretty much single handedly saving this show. I think I'd watch him read the back of a cereal box.

James Spader has to be absolutely one of the best of the best actors on US television.Every show or movie he has done has been exceptional,he makes this series.
|Posted by gulchman 8 months ago
When this show first started I thought it was a good show at best and I was not a fan of Spader at all however, since that very first episode I find myself waiting for the next to show. I would recommend anyone to give this show a chance and I think you will agree that this may be one of the best on tv at this time. James Spader brings something to the show that no other person could, whether you see him as a villain a hero or a little of both
|Posted by nononoyes 2 years, 8 months ago
for a 'villain of the week' type show with only glimpses of over-arching plot lines, this is without question among the best produced (ESPECIALLY currently). In the last few episodes ,starting around episode 9, the series has really hit its stride. Spader is by no means over-hyped in this role. he IS absolutely fantastic, and makes a role that would normally require a hell of a lot of suspension of disbelief- into a completely believable, chilling antihero. an added bonus i have been noticing over the last couple episodes is the inclusion of a fantastic and smartly placed soundtrack. johnny cash/gordon lightfoot, etc.. have to love great songs being played during intense moments of brutality. 9/10...only deduction is i wish they would give more focus to their 'long game' plotlines.

This show is quite honestly one of the top 10 shows ever created in my opinion. I'm enthralled in it each and every week. I just love the mystery and twist every week. Each week something makes you go DAMM! If Spader does not win an Emmy for this character, it will be a travesty. His best work yet in my opinion...

James Spader is great in this, didn't much care for some of his movies, but I thought he was great in Boston Legal, so was Shatner oddly enough. One of the things I like best about this show is the 22 episode seasons. That's what I grew up with and what I'm used to. Too many shows have short seasons (10 epis or less) or they break them up with months between half seasons. Drives me nuts. God I sound so freakin old.
|Posted by yomamasofat1 2 years, 12 months ago
Like others have said before, this show is interesting and has potential. This is largely due to the character played very well by James Spader. BUT...the weakness of this show lies in the female lead. I feel she is not credible in the role she attempts to depict. Alas, like in many other US TV shows, there is an emphasis on casting very attractive people at the expense of acting talent. For what its worth I would've put Emmy Rossum (Fiona in Shameless U.S.) as the lead female. She has gravitas and can portray the angst required for the role.

Came to the party a bit late, but I'm LOVING Red. He IS the show. I've been describing him to people: "He's Hannibal Lecter without the cannibalism... that we know of." (more of the Anthony Hopkins version) He's self-assured, well-read, well-travelled, nothing phases him, he's not someone to be trifled with. Actually, I wouldn't doubt he and Lecter have shared a few meals and even exchange recipes.

just watched pilot; I'm sold. Spader does the mastermind manipulator so damn well; liked his work since the Practice.
|Posted by inlawsis 10 months ago
James Spader delivers on the promise of a character who keeps us unsettled and intrigued as to his next move and motivation. A very enjoyable series.
|Posted by audsandFats 4 months ago
The person bellow is completely wrong. James Spader has been in the business longer than most if not all of the rest of the cast. Hello... '80's movies!!!!!! If you think I'm wrong, look it up. James Spader IS the show. Without him, the show would have not made it past the first season. Some of the other actors do a good job, but without his humor, sarcasm and sheer wit, the show would not be what it is.
|Posted by Repinski 11 months ago
Season three is absolutely insane so far. Astounding work by the wide majority of the cast. Most of them have come a significant way since the beginning of this show.
|Posted by ranwrap 3 years ago
I will watch anything with James Spader in it! Great come back. This guy is the Madonna of TV.
|Posted by Troll_Slayer 10 months ago ( Edited 10 months ago )
James Spader is the only thing separating this show from dross like the new Hawaii Five O , NCIS etc etc. The story lines really test one's ability to suspend logic . Diego Klattenhoff is at best a cardboard cliché of every strong silent type you've ever seen. And as for Megan Boone ... dear god she's woeful. I suspect if someone shaved her eyebrows off she wouldn't be able to carry on as she'd be deprived of her one facial expression, that of the puzzled puppy trying to figure out where the ball has gone. Having said all that, it is worth the bad acting and dodgy story lines just to spend 40 mins a week with the wonderful Mr Spader.
|Posted by moviefan543 2 years, 9 months ago
Honestly this show would be perfect if they had chosen a different female for the lead. If it werent for James Spader her wig and one expression would have run me off already.

One of the best series i've seen in a long time! It's my favorite now.

WOW WOW!! this show is amazing I am totally hooked, everybody's acting is great except for Magen Boone, imo is the weakest of them all most of the time with an expressionless face except may be for the last couple of episodes. Most of all James Spader is amazing as always I just love the guy...he is a genius he did make this show a success.

Next Act's 'Irma Vep' haunted by earlier version
In the second act of Charles Ludlam's madcap "The Mystery of Irma Vep," now on stage at Next Act Theatre, a frightened Lady Enid (a cross-dressed John McGivern) turns to housekeeper Jane Twisden (a cross-dressed Norman Moses) and pines for the protective presence of Nicodemus, her faithful manservant.
With the twitch of a smile and a twinkle in his eye, Moses' ordinarily prim Jane make clear that calling Nicodemus on stage just then simply isn't possible. »Read Full Article(1)

Report: Notre Dame's Chuck Martin To Coach At Miami (Ohio)
According to multiple reports, Notre Dame offensive coordinator Chuck Martin accepted the head coaching position at Miami (Ohio) on Tuesday.
Irish Illustrated's Pete Sampson staked Martin out at the South Bend Airport on Tuesday, where he said the Miami gig is a "great opportunity from a head coaching standpoint."
Miami went 0-12 this year and fired coach Don Treadwell following an 0-5 start to the season.

Play With Me 2: Iroquois Zero-Culture ICS (Part 8 online)
Play With Me 2: Iroquois Zero-Culture ICS
Welcome to my second public game, where I'll try to show just how broken ICS is by almost completely ignoring an integral part of the game: Culture. I've seen a lot of posts where people claim that you want to wait and grab Communism for an ICS approach.
Well, I'll let you in on a little secret: I've played plenty of ICS games and so far I took Communism exactly once, to test it out. By the time you can get Communism I'm usually done settling my whole landmass.
The policy I will try to get for ICS is Meritocracy, which means 3 social policies. If I can get a fourth one that is an unexpected bonus and would probably be the base Freedom policy.
I chose Hiawatha because I never played with him so far. Let's hope we have some nice forests!
As the last one, this game will be played on Immortal difficulty on an all-standard Pangaea game. I will try to update the game in a more timely fashion than the last time where I ran notes for long stretches of time which I then compiled later. You can click the images to get a full-sized (1920*1080 pixels) version.

Turn 0 - The Start of It All
Now that's a sucky starting position if ever I saw one. A single luxury, lots of grass, not even much forest. The only saving grace is its starting yield which isn't bad. No matter, I'll make the best of it. Settle on the spot because I can't find anything better available in the next two turns.
I'm not sure where to go now. I could try the Mohawk Warrior out but decide that the furs drag me into the horseman direction. Animal Husbandry it is!
I need to find some good settlement space soon so Onondaga starts with a scout. After that I'll directly go for a settler.
Turn 3 - More furry creatures
I find more furs and some marble to the south. Still not overly excited so I'll keep exploring the area around my capital. No sign of an AI civ yet which is good
Turn 5 - Baby Boom
Onondaga grows to size 2. And... I pop my first ruins which contains survivors, putting me instantly at 3. Nice.
Turn 7
Some forest at last, with shiny gems at the end. I will settle this one closely to save on road maintenance. Since this is partly a teaching exercise, I marked the positions I would like to settle with numbers telling you the likely order.
Still no sign of AI by the way - not that the term "intelligence" could be applied to it at the best of times, anyways.
As I said I'll keep the updates smaller this time so you can comment on my progress and make suggestions. On to Part 2

Thanks for the good wishes but it wasn't to be: I didn't get any
By the way, do you still wonder why you have such a large variance in your games? The whole start is totally based on luck
Play With Me 2: Iroquois Zero-Culture ICS, Part 2
Turn 8 - River Warlord
You guessed it, I meet Askia. I also find the first city state, Vienna. Good job Askia didn't find them before me. I like cultural city states, they're almost as overpowered as maritime ones and Vienna's refined culture will most likely be what will drive me to Meritocracy. Unfortunately, Vienna makes spot 3 above impossible to settle so I will change the order a bit to accomodate. What bugs me more is that I will have to get the gems from them instead of getting them myself. Ah well.
Oh, there's also a second ruin for me to grab and Animal Husbandry is finished. There are horses north of Onondaga. You know what that means: the city settlement plan has to be thoroughly rewritten
Turn 9 - Elephant Dung
Gah! Rammydammy or whatever he's called steals my ruins! Wait till I can lay hands on you, pal!
Turn 10 - No manners at all
Askia insults my army. Looks like he'd like his head bashed in by horsemen. I also meet an archer-scout of Bismarck's and Siam guarantees Vienna.
Turn 12
Curious, an empty barbarian encampment and a German warrior ran away from it last turn. I wonder why... maybe it's haunted? No matter, 25 gold for me.
Turn 13
I find Askia's border. He's so close I can smell the stench of his burning beard. The ruins will contain 60 gold I'll pick up the next turn.
Turn 17
A barbarian brute is making ready to harass Onondaga. Luckily my scout is at large and lures him into attacking so I can send my newly finished settler out unmolested to settle right on the horsies. Onondaga will build a worker while I wait for Liberty.
Turn 18
The wheel is finished, on to Horseback Riding.
Turn 19
I shortly contemplate waiting for Liberty for six turns but decide I want the additional production ASAP and settle Osininka on the horses. It will start with a worker, too. Ram asks for open borders but I refuse. I could sell mine to him for some gold but I don't like that, I only sell luxuries because I think that buying strategic resources or open borders is practically always a bad idea so I won't sell them to the AI, either.
Turn 21 - Barbarians galore
I find a barbarian encampment to the south that will be used to train my warrior a bit. Ram offers a pact of cooperation, which I accept. North of me is Tundra which means I will be more or less safe from attack from that direction.
Turn 22
My warrior finds the encampment deserted. That brute will be surprised to find it gone when he returns
Seeing all the barbarians abroad, I decide to slowly move my warrior home to defend.
Turn 23
Bismarck offers a pact of cooperation, which I also accept. I'm big on cooperation but for some reason the AI always cancels them sooner or later
Turn 26
Onondaga finishes the worker and starts on a second settler while I wait for horseback riding. The worker will move to improve the only road I need to hook up Osininka, thanks to the Great Warpath.
That's all the PWM2 action for today. Have a fine evening, folks! Read on in Part 3

Thx for sharing, it's very time consuming
Nice starting location...3 food cow to boost get to pop 3 earlier + science bonus
forests for not needing to build road for Iroquois.
this is too easy
side note...technically it's not "Zero Culture" as you put it....
you still need to buy CS to get to 3 social policies...
with all that extra income from your trade route so early (not needing to build road)
sell lux ($300)get Vienna ally,
buying culture from Vienna when you only have 2cities, you will hit Meritocracy early <T100
time it right settle your 3, 4, 5 cities on the turn that unlocks meritocracy...more cities can come online much sooner.
(monuments as first cap build).
not even need to hook up horses early cos no AI cap <10 tiles
and you got city ruins on? lol...you're pretty good, you don't need all these kind of bonuses...

I'm curious why you would want to settle cities in that order, especially switching 4 and 5. Isn't 5 (on the revised order) better to settle first than 4 since it will already be automatically connected to 3? Or are you afraid an AI will settle too close to the marble?
Also, is it possible to adjust 3 on the turn 9 picture to the northwest so you can settle to the west of the gem spot?

(pros sell for quick cash to get Vienna ally sooner),
but it's dangerous move, can't be sure to grab it before Vienna...
gem site fits well with marble (mining+masonry), prob earliest 2 lux sell possible
construction 1 tech away, +happy and CS bonus upgrade = ICS game over
alternative is hook up the marble site (1w, 1s of current Osnnka on the desert tile) sooner, then $600 cash...buy for +75 relation

You're right, though, it might be more instructive if I don't ally a cultural CS, either.
I don't like disturbing my lattice too much and I guess Vienna will have gobbled up the gems by the time I get around to settling the area. If they are still available when I found 3, I might settle a city three tiles east of it.

So he's banking on Vienna getting that gem tile before he makes city 3 and making a mine there roughly when he builds a quarry on city 4's marble?
Ah. I didn't see where Askia was. That makes sense.

if you want it for yourself to sell early, grab it with 2nd city
if let Vienna get it, it'll allow you to expand horizontally sooner because vienna will have that hooked up by the time we build settler 5 and finish quarry.
I've been experimenting with getting earlier Meritocracy with 2 cities' 1st built monuments, and settle 3, 4, 5 on the same turn after policy grab...it's not that much slower in terms of horizontal expansion pre T100...with HBR, Construction, this allow you to expand faster than you can build settlers post T100.
I would've look for more lux with my 2nd city, thus will able to hook up marble with his 2nd city (there's 2 marbles on this map), so if settle on the desert or the wheat tile, there will be enough time. Desert is good coz next to the mountain. Take loan to buy marble tile if money is tight.

Random recommendation: don't put the road where your red circle is. Put it directly West of Osinka so that it both hooks up your city and connects to the forest patches to the northwest, in case you settle up there in the future.

When you say zero-culture, do you mean you literally won't produce any culture except the +1 from your palace? If so, how are you going to get meritocracy? I guess you can still expand without meritocracy if you want, it'll just limit your city size a bit more.

Looking forward to see how you'll fare without theocracy
Small note: The Great Warpath is wonderful. However be aware that they only count as roads. If you want railroad connection later in the game, the trees just don't cut it anymore (pun intended). That is to say they don't count as railroads.
While I'm pretty certain you'll be biased towards Chivalry (Knights) into Banking (FP), I'd recommend Metal Casting for the amazing Longhouses.

Hi alpaca,
Thanks for sharing. Will be interesting to see how you handle the happiness situation here. I also have some questions
Why only 1 scout? Even on small maps I build 2 scouts, as my thinking is that more ruins, more city state encounters and more Civilisation meetings ultimately means those 4-5 turns spent making another scout gives you a bigger advantage than settling 4-5 turns earlier.
What's your "policy" on stealing workers from city states? on immortal, they bring the worker out around +/- turn 30, which is basically a free worker for no risk and will easily justify the cost of a scout. Of course, you don't want to steal it from a city state you want an immediate relationship with... which again is why i feel you need more scouts to discover more city states

Like Tulane a couple of hours before, East Carolina officially announced its partnership with the Big East, this one only in football, starting in 2014.
Here are statements from the involved parties:
ECU chancellor Steve Ballard: "ECU is excited to become a football member of the Big East Conference. We know we will be successful and add value to the Big East. While hundreds of dedicated Pirates have contributed to this day, I especially want to recognize the relentless energy of Terry Holland and Nick Floyd in making this day a reality. It is a great day to be a Pirate."
ECU athletic director Terry Holland: "It is our intention for today's announcement to be a strong first step toward finding the best competitive environment possible for ECU's nineteen varsity sports. Big East Football provides an opportunity to renew old rivalries and begin new ones, both of which will be exciting for our players, coaches and fans. A football-only membership provided ECU's gateway to an all sports membership in C-USA and a number of other successful programs, including Virginia Tech, received their opportunity through a football-only membership in the Big East."
Big East commissioner Mike Aresco: "We are very excited to welcome East Carolina University into the Big East Conference for football. They have a strong football tradition and a consistently successful program that will help elevate our football league immediately. The University is an outstanding academic institution that reflects the values important to the Big East Conference."

Watch this trailer and see if you can guess who made this movie. And if you check imdb, you'll also see that the one of the stars isn't shown or mentioned anywhere in the trailer or on the site. Interesting marketing tactic. I wonder if it will pay off.
Enter The Tarantino
Wait A Minute! Where's That Great Movie I Saw In The Trailer? I'm not in this world to live up to your expectations and you're not in this world to live up to mine, said Bruce Lee. Still, expectations and anticipation are an integral part of cinephilia and the fun of watching movies in general. For a lot of us, Tarantino's Kill Bill is by far the most expected movie of 2003. [The trailer and the screenplay reviews, whether enthusiastic or not, lead one to expect a sword-swallowing, fire-breathing mix of "Enter The Dragon", "Slouching Tiger, Creeping Dragon" and "Charlie's Dragon Angels". So - will it be up to Tarantino's best? I venture to say oh yes.]
And if you're not a rabid Tarrantino fan, which upcoming film(s) are you most eager to see, from now until 2006?

Three words: Charlie's Angels Trailer.
Three words: Charlie's Angels Trailer. This looks pretty funny, especially with Bill Murray involved. I guess the real question this movie raises is "are the re-makes of yesteryear successes going to continue in the 00's?" Personally, I thought it was a 90's thing, which I often call the "recycled decade." Side question: why don't the angels have guns in the ending silhouette? Is that because of the current anti-gun climate? [thanks Kristin]

Homemade Fabric Softener
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 0 mins
Here is an alternative fabric softener. You could also add some essential oil for fragrance, if you like.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup glycerin
- 1 gallon water
- Mix together in a large bottle.
- Add 1/2 cup to washing machine rinse cycle.
Most Helpful
I like the recipe with 1/2 cup of vinegar instead of glycerin. It's cheaper and is a lot better for static.
I was excited to find a recipe for fabric softener, because I'm allergic to the perfumes in commercial fabric softeners, and the unscented costs more than the scented. I made up a batch with high hopes, which were not met. My clothes were a little bit softer than without fabric softener, but this recipe did nothing for static. I'm sure it would work for people who live in low-static areas, but it just didn't do the job for me.
I was looking for a recipe to use up the bottle of glycerin I got from Oman, when I stumbled upon this. This is so easy to make and worked very well on my garments. I used some orange essential oil as well and the clothes are not just soft, but they also do smell wonderful. Now I do feel and smell(of oranges, ofcourse!) like a girl from the Orange County!;-)Thanks Amy!

Drowning In Dreariness
A future made grim by greed and the wanton destruction of the environment.
First there was Noah. Now there is Margaret Atwood.
For the subject of her latest novel, the prolific Canadian novelist has imagined life on Earth just before and after a "Waterless Flood." The time is an unspecified year in the near future, and the Waterless Flood is a SARS-like plague that has killed most of humankind.
A few of the survivors belong to a persecuted proto-Christian group called God's Gardeners, who interpret the Bible as an environmentalist text. The Gardeners, whose leader foretold the coming of the Flood, subsist in part on stockpiles of food they call "Ararats," after the mountain on which Noah's ark landed. Before the Flood, they had lived in a rooftop garden named "Eden" and were strict vegetarians. (They ate honey, too, but only after asking permission of the bees.) After the Flood, they are permitted to consume meat, just as, after the biblical flood, God told man that "every moving thing that lives shall be food for you."
That's not a bad starting point for a sci-fi novel, and in defter hands such a story might be entertaining. But Ms. Atwood is not known for her light touch. Instead, "The Year of the Flood" is preachy and grim and often downright silly. Anyone who has read an Atwood novel won't be surprised to learn that this one is imbued with the anti -capitalist, anti-religion and anti-male themes that characterize much of her fiction.
The Year of the Flood
By Margaret Atwood
Doubleday, 434 pages, $26.95
Ms. Atwood serves up an apocalyptic vision of a world that has been destroyed by overpopulation, greed and man's wanton destruction of the environment. If you like your dystopias green, this is the book for you. Al Gore and his fans may find "The Year of the Flood" a page-turner. The rest of us will have to struggle to stay awake.
The years leading up to the Waterless Flood are described in a series of confusing flashbacks. Science, we learn, has run amok: Genetic engineers have cooked up such hybrid animals as the "rakunk," which is a cross between a raccoon and a skunk, and a lion-lamb known as a "liobam." There is even a new super-human race whose mating habits involve every woman enjoying the company of four blue-hued men. (Don't ask.)
The "Corporation" that runs the pre-Flood world houses privileged citizens in gated communities and leaves everyone else to fend for himself in crime-infested slums. A profit-hungry pharmaceutical company called "HelthWyzer" sells supplements that it deliberately infects with disease for the purpose of sickening its customers, to whom it can then sell medicine.
In this not-so-peaceable kingdom, many animals have become extinct. The Gardeners mourn their loss and revere such figures as Saint Jacques Cousteau and the "martyred" Saint Dian Fossey, "who gave her life while defending the Gorillas from ruthless exploitation." In a sermon toward the end of the book, Adam One, the theological leader of God's Gardeners, intones: "Let us forgive the killers of the Elephant, and the exterminators of the Tiger; and those who slaughtered the Bear for its gall bladder, and the Shark for its cartilage, and the Rhinoceros for its horn."
No Atwood novel would be complete without a shot at the patriarchy, so of course "The Year of the Flood" is in part a feminist tract. It's not as ham-fisted as "The Handmaid's Tale" (1985), where a theocracy enslaves women as breeders, but the presentation of women in thrall to men is similar.
The novel is narrated by two women who have survived the Flood—the submissive Ren, who is a prostitute and trapeze artist, and the independent-minded Toby, who is a rape victim on the run. A third female character, Amanda, is an outgoing type until she is nearly killed by two rampaging ex-cons. None of the characters, female or male, is more than one-dimensional.
Ms. Atwood allows herself a bit of fun in describing the "AnooYoo Spa." (Get it? A "new you.") That's the palace where the pampered wives of HelthWyzer executives go to get replacements for their aging skin. But even here a laugh is not just a laugh. It's a moral lesson ridiculing women who care too much about how they look.
"The Year of the Flood" is a companion volume to Ms. Atwood's 2003 novel, "Oryx and Crake." It takes place in the same bleak, futuristic world, with some of the same characters. The dark visions put forward in both books are intended as parables, a warning about where we are headed. In an essay on the earlier novel, Ms. Atwood wrote: "The 'what if' of Oryx and Crake is simply, What if we continue down the road we're already on? How slippery is the slope? What are our saving graces? Who's got the will to stop us?"
In "The Year of the Flood," she continues to explore her answers to those questions. But her vision is more Revelations than Genesis, and as Apocalypse stories go, it's as dull as it gets.
Ms. Kirkpatrick is a former deputy editor of the Journal's editorial page.

Producer Foster plans Naval screenings
"The Core" got its Hollywood preem Tuesday night, but producer David Foster is still hoping for a bow honoring two of its larger stars — the U.S.S. Constellation and U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln, which were both called into action during the thriller's rescue sequences.
"We were planning for a screening but before we could do it, [the crew] had to leave for the Middle East," Foster recounted at Paramount's after-preem party Tuesday night at the Hammer Museum.
Greg McMurry, visual f/x supervisor, said the key challenge wasn't the dozens of massive explosions. "I had a lot of fun blowing stuff up, but what really counted on this one was making things believable like the Space Shuttle landing in the Los Angeles River," he said.
Viacom's Jonathan Dolgen, Par's Sherry Lansing, director Jon Amiel and stars Aaron Eckhart, Hilary Swank, Alfre Woodard, Bruce Greenwood and Delroy Lindo attended along with Danny Glover and Rob Lowe.

Draft and Trade Talk Message Board
Reason to draft CLOSERS
The teams I drafted at least one top notch closer, and one solid closer, I now have 5 or more closers to choose from. The leagues that I did not draft a 2nd closer, or waited til late to grab another, I have maybe 3. The leagues I didnt draft the closers highly, I HAVE NO CHANCE OF WINNING. I spent so much of the early and mid season chasing saves that not only was I taking chances on closers that blew up, but I was missing out on batters that are now being very productive, including Chris Davis.
So, now not only am I way behind in saves
I am also lagging in batting stats
My ERA and Whip are inflated.
Lesson? #$%$ the experts. DRAFT AT LEAST 3 solid CLOSERS, or take chance of missing out on better players at other positions. Lesson learned here.
Closers=High per inning K's, Saves, and low ERA/Whip
as well as missing other opportunities chasing closers....Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
I retained Rafael Soriano, Addison Reed and Kenley Jansen at the league minimum salary and then paid $11 for Kyuji Fujikawa at the March auction. I've run away with saves in my 10-team league after picking up free agents Edward Mujica, Koji Uehara and Jose Veras (dropping Veras when he lost his gig). I now have Soriano, Reed and Mujica on my bench because of an innings limit, keeping Jansen and Uehara for their peripheral numbers.
FWIW there is a team in my league that had 0 closers off the bat with Cook/Jensen/Uehara and he almost never lost ERA/WHIP. Now he is starting to win saves and chasing my #%$ for first. I don't think it makes sense to make blanket statements about closers (how many, when to draft) when there are almost always exceptions
I'm with Mike P & #$%$ Strong. Good closers are always available, & a lot of teams go through closer changes/adjustments during the season. I do like getting several good closers during the draft, but I wait until the later rounds. You miss out on good hitting if you take the top closers in the top 10 rounds. It's really not worth it. I'm winning & in the top three in most of my leagues due to my strategy. I do mix things up from league to league, but I find that you don't have to have three dominant closers in the first 10 rounds to win a league.
Please answer my post "Trade Advice". Thanks!
I drafted closers at the end of the draft, but I am still in first place. I have a 2/12 in saves, but my team can pitch and hit. It is a lot easier to find a save on waivers than to find 30 home runs. Cabrera/Chris Davis/Segura. You can have your closers.

Standard 5X5 league, a 2 in any category puts you down at 110 points already. Lose a couple points in Whip and ERA, and perhaps your starters dont get the wins even with low ERA's. Suddenly, you are looking at 100 points. Then if you have another Competitor in your league with nearly the same success in all the categories, also around 100 points, you are in a dogfight, one that because you dont have the saves in, he has the edge. That is the situation I face in a couple leagues. Great across the board, except saves.
I did not get Chris Davis, I was busy trying to find a closer. I did not get Segura, I was looking for a closer. Cabrera, Which one? How easy is it for the player that does get Davis to lead in Homers? How easy is it for someone with a Segura to lead in steals? All are more points gone. Picking up Tazawa, miss out of Uehara. Expect Rosenthal, and yet Mujica closes. A little bad luck, and Heck, I would have been winning those leagues.
Both Davis and Segura were FA's in all leagues. We arent talking draft here. If you know you have 2 reliable closers to start, you can be out there taking chances on Davis and Segura as opposed to Tazawa, and Rosenthal. (maybe not those players in particular)
I dont take the 1st closer off the board, EVER, My point being, that double digit points totals in every category, except saves, may just land you at 2nd place in your league. And SECOND PLACE is FIRST LOSER. (lord knows I have too many of those)
This is a very stupid post. I drafted one closer in the 14th round - Reed, and now have Reed/Mujica/Uehara/Melancon/Farquhar. Think you are gonna beat me with your dump squad? Wish you drafted Motte in the 6 round still? Get lost, stupid.

I didn't draft any closers at all. I am in 2cd place on both my teams. Picked up guys like Mujica, Jansen, Cishek from FA and have been doing just fine.
Dick Strong Dick Strong Aug 10, 2013 1:28 AM Flag
I agree, Mike. Unless it is a 16 team league or larger...you can always find a closer (or 3) in the FA pool by being an active manager. I always have 3 closers and I drafted two this year and picked up Parnell once he earned the gig coming out of spring training. Once Parnell hit the DL I picked up Fields and then I dropped Fields and added Farquhar. I still have 3 closers. There is no need to waste a prime draft position (anything higher than 13th round) on a closer.
I agree with #$%$ Strong. An example of normal drafting for my teams over the last 10 years. First closer I drafted was Grilli in rd. 14, Perkins in 17, League (uggh) in 20. Obviously dropped League early and picked up closers as the incumbents lost their jobs. The 2nd place team in 12 team league saves is 21 behind me, he has 86. Point being, closers are not that big of a deal in the draft, just draft well. And this is (mostly) consistent every league, every year.
Dick Strong Dick Strong Aug 9, 2013 2:43 PM Flag
I have never NOT drafted a closer. I have also never drafted a closer before round 12 and I try not to draft a closer until round 15 or 16. I drafted 2 closers this year and added 1 from the FA pool before the season starts. All MLB closer positions are never set before the season starts. There are always closers that go undrafted (unless it is a 16 team league or larger) so you can truly wait until after the draft and add 3 closers from the FA pool if you so desire.
There is no need to ever draft a closer if you don't want to however you should always own 3 closers and never own more than 4 closers.
- 1 Reply to Dick Strong
Well when you play in #$%$ leagues with ppl who don't know baseball then yes there are left over closers. But the ppl who take it serious and play in serious leagues can't just pick up closers..
I drafted one closer, and that was in a late round, Ernesto Frieri. I knew that closers never last and I would be able to pick up many over the year instead of wasting draft picks. At one point I had Jansen (through trade), Henderson, Brothers, Ziegler, Farquhar. You don't need to draft closers. Maybe one solid one thats it.
- 1 Reply to Harry
Must be no competition. The leagues I am in, if you are not picking up the newly appointed closer within 2 hours of the announcement, then you have missed out. I seemed to always pick the WRONG future closers. News was one guy to be the closer, and manager takes another, so I missed out on several due to wrong choice. I am at or near the top in all my leagues. Due to the saves situations, I likely wont win a couple of them due to that. 2nd or 3rd place is not what I am after. Right or wrong, I rather have the established 2 closers and not spend much of the season chasing saves. In the more challenging leagues, you dont have time to take a #$%$, or you will miss out, just that plain and simple.
I don't think you should completely not draft any closers. But I definitely think you should take them in very late rounds. My closers right now are Mujica/Jansen/Benoit/Rodney and I have Grilli on the DL. I'm in a H2H league and I have won saves almost every week. The only one of my current closers I actually drafted is Rodney (and Grilli in a late round) and Rodney has been my worst closer.
I never draft closers. Unless you are getting Kimbrel or someone like that, drafting closers is useless because most closers are a year to year thing. I never draft closers and pretty much always win K's, Wins, and i usually win one out of the two between the era and whip and my offense is stacked because i didnt waste early picks on closers and i therefore win at least 3 but usually 4 of the offensive categories and i usually win my matchups 6-4 or 7-3 and ive been utilizing this strategy for 5 years and it has won me a decent amount of money.

Gregory, I think you have adequately articulated the difference between owning quality hitters that contribute in 5 categories, or quality starting pitchers that contribute in 4 categories, or closers that contribute in exactly 1 category.
Own hitters over pitchers first and foremost. Then own starting pitchers. Closers/relievers bring up the rear. By doing this you have been able to have a strong advantage in the 10 standard scoring categories...7 of which are counting stats (R, HR, RBI, SB; W, K, SV) and 3 of which are average stats (BA, ERA, WHIP). Since the only counting stats that isn't controlled by hitters or starting pitchers is saves (SV) you do need some closers...but "quality" isn't an issue because a closer does not pitch enough innings to have a significant affect on your ERA or WHIP and they don't often acquire wins. Thus, a closer is an afterthought and you can wait as long as you feel is prudent before acquiring a closer. And if that means not drafting a closer...don't draft a closer.

|Increasingly Bullish On Long-Term Outlook
|Passenger Car Production, CBUs
On the back of increased production and ongoing investment from the three largest vehicle manufacturers and exporters in the country, we are revising our 2012 passenger car production forecast for Slovakia. We now believe that this segment will increase 20% in 2012, to 708,000 units - a more bullish view than our previous forecast of 2.7% growth.
The Slovakian domestic passenger car market remains relatively small, and much of this production is for export. More generally, growth in exports accounts for a large proportion of Slovakia's increasing industrial productivity. Indeed, we have revised up our forecasts for Slovakia's current account balance in 2012 and 2013 on the back of robust export growth. We now expect Slovakia's current account to move into surplus this year, coming in at 1.7% of GDP, from a previous forecast of -0.6%; and 1.5% of GDP in 2013, from a previous forecast of 0.8% ( see our online service, August 14, 'Current Account Surplus In 2012 and 2013'). This highlights the growing industrial strength of the country.
This vehicle production growth, in Slovakia and other CEE states more generally ( see our online service, August 17, 'Mercedes Plans To Double Production At Hungary Plant') can be seen in contrast to decreasing production levels in Western Europe as auto manufacturers strive to cut costs amid continuing economic uncertainty in the region. BMI believes that the Western European auto market will remain generally weak in the short-to-medium term, and we expect auto investments in the region to dwindle, in contrast to the generally increasing investor sentiment in the CEE region.
Although vehicle production in Slovakia remains considerably lower than in Czech Republic and Poland, we are bullish on the longer term outlook for the segment. We expect to see ongoing investment from manufacturers with existing facilities in the country, with the potential for investments from other players as companies seek to shift their production sites away from Western Europe.
Volkswagen (VW) has announced that production at its Slovakia facility increased substantially in the first six months of 2012, to 209,400 units. In year 2011, production reached 210,441 units. This growth was on the back of strong demand for SUVs, which make up 56% of the site's output, and rising demand for the Up minicar model, which accounts for 44% of output.
The company plans to invest an additional EUR1.5bn (US$1.88bn) in its Slovakian operations by 2016. VW plans to roughly double output in 2012, following a 45.6% increase in 2011. The H112 production figures suggest it is on target to achieve this goal. The company's Slovakian revenues rose by 43% year-on-year (y-o-y) in 6m12 to EUR3.44bn (US$4.31bn).
In 6m12, Kia's output from its Slovakia operations increased 10% y-o-y, to 149,000 units. The company introduced a third work shift at its site in the beginning of 2012, and also began production of the new Kia cee'd model in April. Further, engine production increased 22% y-o-y in 6m12, to 237,000 units.
In May, PSA Peugeot Citroen announced that it would increase production capacity at its Slovakia site ahead of the launch of the Peugeot 208 hatchback model. Over 2012, the company hired an additional 900 employees.

Future Free Agent Profiles: Jamie Benn
Cam Lewis
December 03 2015 04:11PM
It's time for the Dallas Stars to start thinking about Jamie Benn's next contract. The Stars' captain and last year's Art Ross Trophy winner is in the fourth year of a five-year deal signed back at the beginning of the 2013 lockout season, and if he makes his way onto the free agent market come July 2017 he'll certainly be one of, if not the most coveted pieces available.
Benn is in the midst of another star season in Dallas. He's leading the league in goals with 18, and he sits second in points behind only Patrick Kane with 35. If he continues at this pace, he'll finish the year with 115 points, which would not only shatter his own career high, but also represent the best individual season we've seen in terms of production since Sidney Crosby scored 125 back in 2006-07.
So yeah, I think it's fair to say that Jamie Benn has easily established himself as one of the league's best forwards at this point in his career. So what does that mean for the Dallas Stars? And what should we expect from his next contract? He's going to be getting an upgrade on his $5.25 million annual salary, that's for sure.
Future Free Agent Profiles: David Perron
Cam Lewis
December 02 2015 01:36PM
David Perron is really the only key player the Pittsburgh Penguins have hitting unrestricted free agency this summer. That said, they're already pressed right up against the cap, and while Perron is the only notable UFA (unless you consider Ben Lovejoy and Matt Cullen to be key players) they're going to need to sign Olli Maatta to a new contract, as his entry-level deal is set to come to an end and they're going to need to do something about the tire fire they have on their blue line. The Pens currently have nine forwards, four defencemen, and one goalie signed from their current active roster heading into next season at a combined cap hit of roughly $60 million. They'll likely be able to fill some holes internally, but that doesn't give them very much room to flesh out and improve their roster.
So what type on contract can we expect for David Perron on the open market?
Eyes on the Dollar: New Jersey Devils
Cam Lewis
November 30 2015 08:00AM
This was supposed to be a rebuilding year for the New Jersey Devils. It was expected the Devils, who were going into their first season without Lou Lamoriello as their General Manager since 1987, were going to be among the worst teams in the league as they searched for a new identity and built a new core through the draft. A couple months in, they're one of the most surprising teams in the NHL, sitting just one point behind Boston for the second Wild Card position in the Eastern Conference.
Obviously this is hot start is simply smoke, mirrors, and Cory Schneider, so the Devils should stick to the rebuilding path and look to sell high on some of their veteran depth players when the trade deadline rolls around. A playoff run is exciting and all, but the Devils aren't there yet, and the best thing they can do right now is load up on draft picks and prospects as they continue to rebuild their core.
Future Free Agent Profiles: Milan Lucic
Cam Lewis
November 25 2015 08:00AM
The Los Angeles Kings are set for another interesting offseason. Last summer, they had to flesh out a roster after terminating the contract of Mike Richards and losing Slava Voynov due to legal issues, and this summer, they're going to have to figure out a new contracts for arguably their most important player, as Anze Kopitar is set to his free agency come July 1. Along with Kopitar, newly acquired Milan Lucic's contract will also come to an end at the end of the season, making matters for the Kings even more convoluted.
Your Analytics Mean Nothing if Nobody Understands Them
Bobby Cappuccino
November 24 2015 10:48AM
I'm a "stats nerd" — or at least I'd be considered that based on my stance in the famous Corsi Battle of 2014. But what I really am is a hockey fan. I love the game. I love to watch it, play it, and learn about it. I'll use any available tool that I can have to further my understanding of this game and how it continues to evolve.
The public emergence of Corsi was a lot of fun and really quite revolutionary for me. I imagine I'm not alone in that. I've never been a numbers guy — other than having an encyclopedic knowledge of player goal and point totals and being able to remember the jersey numbers of ~95% of all NHLers, so being so into Corsi is still kind of surprising to me.

Rick Springfield Covers Fleetwood Mac
Springfield Mac, anyone?
Springfield Mac, anyone?
This summer should be extra special for fans of Fleetwood Mac's early years, thanks to an upcoming slate of reissues drawn from deep in the band's vaults.
Much has been made of the romantic entanglements that drove Fleetwood Mac to the brink of breaking up in the '70s, but -- as Mick Fleetwood reminded us during a recent interview -- over time, all that water under the bridge has only deepened the band members' fondness for one another.
With Fleetwood Mac back on the road and playing new material for the first time in a decade, fans have reason to hope that the group's on-and-off momentum over the past few years might regain some measure of consistency. Those hopes should be reinforced by comments Lindsey Buckingham made in a recent interview with 'Rolling Stone.'
Congratulations to Diane Perez —she's the winner of our trip to Tacoma, WA to see Fleetwood Mac!
After the huge comeback success of the live reunion album, The Dance, in 1997, Fleetwood Mac were back in a big way.
The last 35 years of Fleetwood Mac has often been told through the various relationships within the band. But just as it seemed that it was all in the past comes the news that Mick Fleetwood's marriage is breaking up.
Stevie Nicks wasn't kidding when she said 2013 was going to be "the Year of Fleetwood Mac." The group have just kicked off a tour that features the live debut of some new material, and now comes word that the new songs will see official release on an EP the band are set to release.
After another of the extended hiatuses that have defined the latter portion of the band's career, Fleetwood Mac is back. The band is on the road for an extended 2013 tour, the first show of which took place last night (April 4) in Columbus, Ohio.
Fleetwood Mac fans: Don't stop...thinking about Christine McVie's return. The suddenly reclusive singer, after consistently rebuffing such suggestions before, is now hinting that she might join her old group during its three-night stand at London's 02 Arena this September, which would be her first such appearance since retiring from music in 1998.
As 1972 rolled around, Fleetwood Mac were trying to re-invent themselves and move the band forward. 1973's 'Penguin' album would do exactly that -- but not before traveling a long, strange road.
Fleetwood Mac – including classic members Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham, Mick Fleetwood, and John McVie – embark on their first tour in four years starting April 4, playing through spring and summer 2013 all across the country. On May 20th, they'll stop through Tacoma, on the beautiful Puget Sound in Washington State – and we want you to see them there for free!

text: Surp God initially grabbed our attention for his light hearted raps that conveyed a wise beyond his years and a talent for song writing. Although he's been releasing demos and tracks on soundcloud nonstop for a while, God is definitely the most realized project he's put out to date. God demonstrates just how much producing know-how Surp has gained with the production taking front stage over his verses. Experimenting with vocal effects and ambient textures, God sounds equal parts influenced by Houston chopped'n'screwed music and cloud rap with Surp rapping in a pitched-down voice if he's rapping at all. Shifting beating noisy walls of sound and soft, decaying drones, Surp God is working with the kind of experimental sonic pallets that are defining noise-rap groups like Clipping. I definitely wasn't expecting such radically experimental material on from Surp God and I will definitely keep bumping this on my headphones for a while.

The only benefit to the weak and volatile oil prices is they may let Watson get a little more leasing done in the Permian. The additional hedges they've rolled in look smarter as the days go by also.
If the price oil would cooperate we'd generate some enthusiasm, but we're joined at the hip I'm afraid.
The numbers for Q2 are presumed to be awful for BAS because service prices have remained weak through June. It's all about commentary for Q3 and beyond. I like that they've put themselves on the agenda for EnerCom in Denver in mid-August. They're not ducking the public out of fear of pricing or their balance sheet.
Please, let's get past July options expiration before announcing anything positive.
In the vernacular of horse racing, AXAS got up late again today to post a green number.
From 1:45 pm through 4:00 pm yesterday the accumulation from $1.14 to $1.18 was almost frantic. Everything shown to those buyers was willingly taken.
Abraxas spudded the Company's first well targeting the Austin Chalk, the Bulls Eye 101H, on June 16. I'm guessing they're logging significant pay right now.
I see BAS on the list of presenters for EnerCom in Denver in mid-August. Their presentation will be webcast.
Something in the field must be looking up.
And now they're paying 29 cents. Oorah!
I intended to add that NBR and PTEN were also upgraded today by Seaport Global in Houston. Attention is coming back to this space.
From Morgan Stanley today:
Oil Services, Drilling & Equipment
Raising NAm Estimates,
Price Targets
Industry data indicate a NAm activity trough in April/May.
Conversations with service companies suggest a limited uptick in
customer activity thus far, but conversations have begun. We view the
recent sell-off as a buying opportunity, and are raising our estimates
and PTs for NAm services. (BAS is not on their coverage list, the smallest of the full line servicers being NBR, which got a 12% target boost)
The buyer of 500 contracts of 2018 Leap $1.00 Puts yesterday for $0.50 may have blinked a bit this morning. Does the CEO/CFO team suggest takeout to some or what?
I just think that if a dog like CJES can be helped to remain afloat, BAS will get help too should it become necessary, and I don't think it will be.
Added at $1.50. The algos will turn to the buy side somewhere in here, showing the shorts no mercy. We shall see.
Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley both talking today about a re-boot in the services industry. "Restarting the Shale Machine" is the title of the GS piece.
"After four straight quarters of sequential declines in US oil production, a new
pressure is building: how to ramp back up for the next cycle. By our forecast,
the US rig count will need to more than double by the end of 2017 to meet
the global call on US shale. We examine how the Oil Service sector can
accommodate this rapid growth and where it faces constraints in people,
capital and equipment. In a refrain common across the New Oil Order, we
see the growth opportunities concentrating in fewer hands and we lay out
winners across the supply chain with the access to capital and the logistical
skills and scale to restart the shale machine...."
C'mon were down today less than half of Delta's percentage loss. Our boys look great for today only. Ha!
The trend change in the rig count per today's BHI survey and the commodity prices are more important than the stock price at this juncture IMO.
"The U.S. oil rig count rose for the fourth time in five weeks, adding 11 oil rigs in the week to July 1 and bringing the total count up to 341, according to Baker Hughes' latest survey.The total U.S. rig count, which includes a loss of one gas rig to 89, climbed by 10 to 431."
Bob Watson, President and CEO of Abraxas, commented, "We are filing S-3 and S-4 Registration Statements in the normal course of business. Abraxas does not have any current plans to raise capital or utilize stock for an acquisition. These registrations must be updated every three years and Abraxas last filed the Company's Registration Statement in June 2013."
ESTE has some work to do.
I'm sure you'll tell us when the bonds rally, won't you?

Recently, I've been hearing the word "polyglot" at conferences: Long gone are the days in which developers rejoiced in programming-language-specific tunnel vision with an ecosystem to match, furiously declaring developments on any other systems as superfluous. Instead, today's engineers tend to spy on their competitors' forums, recognizing advanced developments and adapting them for use in the language or application stack of their choice. Hosters of web applications also support this trend and offer their services for a wide variety of programming languages and run-time environments.

"The days of people having to make due with whatever they can find are over. At least in the state of Washington," said Revolution Glassworks Owner Robert Dunn.
"With the legalization of marijuana and paraphernalia, business owner Robert Dunn jumped right at the opportunity to capitalize on the newly established laws in Washington.
"There's no one demographic that shops at our store," said Dunn. "From business people to retired people."
Dunn is the owner of Revolution Glassworks, a store that sells glass bongs for the use of marijuana and will eventually have a glass blowing facility in their store as well. And while they've only been open for two months, Dunn says business is booming.
"As a business person I can't really ignore that," said Dunn.
A bong of this size costs approximately $150 but they have pieces in here that range all the way up to $1,500.
In the past, stores that sold bongs could only refer to them as water pipes for the use of tobacco but after Initiative 502 legalized the drug, stores can openly sell their pieces of glass art for what they really are.
"Regardless of what your personal feelings are, or what you've been doing your whole career, it's legal," said Clarkston Police Chief Joel Hastings. "And you just have to change the way you think about it."
Hastings said their department will respect state laws which allows for the use of paraphernalia. But that doesn't mean they haven't gotten calls about the newly opened shop.
"Some citizens have expressed concern that because of the visibility...what message does that send to children?" said Hastings.
Dunn said the Clarkston community has been very receptive, and they have plans to join the chamber of commerce in the near future. As for the sale of marijuana in his shop? Well only time will tell.
"Under the right circumstances and everyone in the industry is waiting to see what those circumstances will be," said Dunn.

Candidates for General Studies Student Council emphasized the need for greater student outreach and better communication between GS and the larger Columbia community at a debate Tuesday.
Unlike elections for Columbia College Student Council and Engineering Student Council, all the positions for GSSC this year are contested.
Current council members said this is the first time in recent memory where there are multiple candidates running for all the positions.
About 40 students attended the debates, and candidates said that the sizable turnout was indicative of greater student involvement in the election process.
The three candidates for GSSC president mostly stuck to campaign rhetoric instead of specific proposals. Community Services Representative Robbie LeDesma, GS, said he wanted to make the council more accessible by publicizing resources designed to help GS students.
"Here at GS we're a proud bunch of do-it-yourselfers," he said. LeDesma plans to outline specific goals with the larger community and identify ways in which GSSC can work more closely with the administration.
Joseph Giovanni Ramos, GS and current vice president of student events, said he hopes to improve efficiency in the way GSSC is run.
"My favorite thing in the whole world is efficiency—things working how they should, when they should," he said. He said he sees the role of president as "the ultimate mediator" and a centralized leader for other GS student leaders.
Hannah Germond, GS and current first-year class president, said she would like to restructure the format of GSSC meetings. If elected president, Germond said she would move audience questions to the beginning to make meetings more appealing to the public and give council members a better sense of community issues.
Meetings would also include a presidential address summarizing current GSSC actions at the beginning of each meeting, to give the audience context.
All three candidates stressed the importance of reaching out to new students during New Student Orientation Program and placing a continuous emphasis on resources such as the new peer advising network and the Dean of Students office.
The candidates for vice president of policy said they want to improve student services. Michael Christie, GS, said he wanted to improve the accessibility of mental health services.
"There's a gap between those who need mental help and are considering seeking it, and those walking in the door," he said. Edgardo Martinez, GS and current first-year class vice president, said he wants to focus on a peer mentoring program to make advising more accessible to students, because the deans are busy and potentially more intimidating, he said.
Both candidates also talked up the need for better communication between students and the administration, saying that to create effective change they have to work as one community rather than two competing ones.
Ari Platt, GS and current vice president of communications, is also running for vice president of policy but was unable to attend the debates. While the turnout for the debates was big, a substantial portion of the audience consisted of current GSSC members.
Nonetheless, after the debate, LeDesma said, "This is the best turnout I've ever seen. More students are becoming actively involved."
