Press Release Detail
Study Abroad Program Enhances Educational Experience
Every year, Fisher students pack their bags and take advantage of one of the many study abroad programs offered by the College, traveling to faraway places and getting an experience of a lifetime. And the program is now accepting applications for summer 2013 programs, which include travel to Italy (Florence), Spain (Seville), France (Caen), and Ireland (Waterford).
Chelsea Spain participated in the Spain program last summer, and said it was one of the greatest experiences of her life so far.
She lived in a Spanish family's home and said she felt welcomed into the family. Every week day, she attended classes and also participated in class excursions around the city to the different historical sites such as the cathedral, Christopher Columbus' tomb, and the Plaza de Espana. On weekends, she enjoyed short trips to cities close by including Cordoba, Cadiz, Rocio, Huelva, and Granada.
"Studying abroad was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I wouldn't change for anything. It is one thing to learn a language, but it is another thing to be immersed in the culture. When I studied abroad, I wasn't just a tourist in Sevilla, I was a Sevilliana," said Spain.
Dan Kelley spent last June studying in Caen, France, with the Fisher in France Program. He was with six other students, and each spoke the language on different levels. But he said once they arrived, they were completely immersed in French culture — the language, the attitudes, and most importantly, the food.
On a typical day, he attended morning classes taught by a French professor. The group would have lunch with Dr. Marc Papé, Associate Professor of Modern Languages and Cultures, who traveled with them. After lunch, they would either have class or enjoy an excursion — which Kelley says were the highlight of his time there. They spent a week in Paris, and caught up with Dr. Terry May, former program director, and he showed them around the city.
"Going to France was easily the most important and beneficial decision that I have made in my life. Every day, I woke up with such excitement to go to class, meet someone new, see something amazing, or generally take in life. I highly recommend that every Fisher student, no matter the major or knowledge of language or culture, experiences a foreign culture, whether it be through a semester program or a summer program," said Kelley.
He also said when he arrived home, he felt more confident in himself after learning how to live independently in a foreign country.
"I also made great friends, some of whom are Fisher students and we reminisce about the time we spent together, and some of whom are spread across the country, with whom I keep in contact through Facebook," he said. "Participating in the Fisher in France program has truly changed my life and I cannot wait until I get the opportunity to go back."

Happy Monday! If you celebrate it, I hope that you all had a wonderful Resurrection Sunday! The dawn of Easter always REALLY reminds me that it is Spring time. And the weather here in Central Florida says just that.
Thank you ALL for your support and involvement in Clumps of Mascara's Reader Appreciation Week. I know everyone couldn't win something but it was exciting to see all of the entries and overall excitement in the giveaways. Yay!!
This mascara is one that has been requested several times. And I am just now getting to it. Yikes!! This post will be picture heavy because I wanted to show each detail of this groovy mascara. Is it really vivid or a bust?
(blue & pink)
Price: 4 out of 5 ($10 from Ulta.com )
Packaging (Brush Wand): 4 out of 5
Overall: 4 out of 5
What it claims: "Dual color mascara that combines a traditional solid color base coat with an iridescent highlighting top coat to add a hint of color to lashes. Delivers sophisticated, bold and unexpected eye looks." (source)
The truth: Pink lashes? That's unexpected alright!!
What I loved about it: I love the versatility of this mascara. You can create many different looks. Whether it be the pink highlighting top coat just on the tips, all over, or just on the lower lashes. Such fun!
What I didn't like: For whatever reason, the mascara was a bit hard on the lashes.I mean….harder than most mascaras.
Overall: If you are lookin' for a mascara that will give you a "different" look or add a pop of color, this is it! I had so much fun playing around with mascara. I mean, think about it….pink lashes? How fun is that? As far as the performance of the mascara, I found that the blue basecoat gave me good volume. I'm talkin' Max Factor Volume Couture-kinda volume.
The pink highlighting top coat, however, isn't the same consistency as the mascara. It is a little thinner than a creamy eyeshadow. It takes quite a few strokes to get the color ON the lashes. And even then…it may appear a little streaky at first. I would imagine the color would really POP on lighter lashes but since my babies are dark brown….it is a little hard to see the pink.
Check out the wands:
You can see the pink up close and personal. But what about outside?
So it really does work. I love how it looks with a purple eyeliner. Reader Sabrina was really the inspiration behind me finally purchasing and reviewing this mascara. Look at how beautiful the gold mascara looks with her pretty blue eyes!
Would I recommend it?: Everyone should have one of these babies in their mascara stash. Fun-kaaaay!! Speaking of "funky"….count how many times I use that word in the video review. It's pretty funny.

Enjoy your Monday, family!

Is Letting Anger Come and Go as it Does
Who Was that Masked Man?
Anger makes its own rules. You don't have to obey them. A story –
You're out with friends some evening and have had a great time. The night has come to an end and you all say your goodbyes and go your separate ways. You decide that you're not very far from home and you decide to walk. Unfortunately, on your way you run into some thug who decides to mug you. He has a gun.
What does he say to you? Does he say, "Don't be afraid, because if you are, I am going to shoot."? Or, "Don't go feeling angry on me, because then I will have to shoot you."? Probably not.
He – or she, it could be anyone – will say something like, "Reach for the sky.", or "Don't you dare make a false move." (What is a false move, anyway?).
This is an intelligent robber. Our masked marauder knows that you are not able to control how you feel. If someone sticks a gun in your face, it would be normal to feel afraid. It would be normal to feel angry, too, wouldn't it?
Even if you are afraid or feel anger, you can follow those orders in the second paragraph. Even if you are mad or afraid, you can still put your hands up in the sky. You can still stay still. Of course you can, there is some clown in front of you with a dangerous weapon. You could even be thinking, "This asshole can't do this to me." And at the same time have your hands up in the air.
Do you see what I'm getting at?
Why Anger is Not What You Have to Manage
Feelings are evolutionary gifts; they are part of what makes us human. AngerFlex will help you move away from Anger Management to Anger Flexibility.
How would you like to be able to stand next to those angry thoughts and angry feelings to get perspective on them? It can be done but a lot of what we've all been taught gets in the way of doing it.
Let's look at how resisting may be the worse thing you can do.

Never fall in love with a musician...
A favourite line from Humoresque: "A French philosopher once listed 300 different ways to commit suicide. He left one out: " 'Fall in love with an artist.' "
Another fantastic moment is the scene in which Joan Crawford's divorce has come through and she rushes to her beloved's rehearsal to tell him at once. He's busy on stage. She sends the usher to him with a note. He reads it, then puts it in his pocket and says to the conductor "Can we go from Letter K?"
In the scene above, Joan Crawford is about to end up at the bottom of the ocean.
The violinist on the soundtrack is Isaac Stern and the music is Franz Waxman's Tristan Fantasy, written specially for this score.

Fort Collins to get $54.5 million for Mason Corridor project
- published_in
- Today's News
These dollars will complete the funding of the five-mile project, according to Mark Jackson, budget, policy, and communications manager for the city.
The $50 million fulfills the Federal Transportation Administration's pledge to fund 80 percent of the project, Jackson said.
The other 20 percent of the funds will come from the city, the Downtown Development Authority, Colorado State University/CSU Research Foundation and the Colorado Department of Transportation.
The city's share of the cost is between $4 and $5 million, according to the city's website. The bus rapid transit system is expected to be operational in early 2014.
The project's total cost is $87 million, and construction is set to begin in earnest this summer. To read more about the project, click here.
The city first applied for a $50 million Project Construction Grant Agreement in August 2011, and can now begin to use the money to finance the project. In 2010, Fort Collins was awarded $11 million for project planning and related work.
The total federal commitment to the project is $69.4 million.
FTA Administrator Peter Rogoff was in Fort Collins Monday to sign the official agreement granting the money to the city. Rogoff and city officials spoke at a ceremony held at the Midtown Arts Center.
Rogoff, Fort Collins Mayor Karen Weitkunat and City Manager Darin Atteberry, along with other dignitaries, signed the agreement awarding the funds to Fort Collins.

The new Volvo FMX
Volvo FMX Classic
The new Volvo FM
Volvo FM Classic
Sometimes it can be more than a little troublesome out there. You simply get stuck. Therefore it's reassuring to know that Volvo FMX is equipped with a towing device that really pulls its weight.
With one simple grip, you can release it to connect a wire or a pull bar to the towing device in the middle of the front. The device has passed tests with lateral pull/ push forces of an astonishing 32 tonnes at a maximum angle of 15°.
It is part of a cross member which is made of high strength steel. The whole assembly is stably mounted in the longitudinal frame members. It provides not only a very strong structure, but it's also a great solution to counteract the eigenfrequency of the chassis, thus enhancing driving comfort.

Policemen inspecting the damage at a gas station after an explosion in the Barzeh area of Damascus on Thursday.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Photo released by the government-run Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA).
An explosion at a crowded gasoline station killed or wounded dozens of people in Syria's capital on Thursday, according to opposition activists.
The station in Damascus reportedly was packed with people lining up for fuel, which has become scarce during a 21-month-long insurgency aimed at overthrowing President Bashar Al-Assad.
The opposition Revolution Leadership Council in Damascus said the explosion was caused by a booby-trapped car, but there were conflicting figures on the death toll. Reuters put it at 11 killed, with at least 40 wounded. The Associated Press had the death toll at nine.
More than 60,000 people have been killed in the 22-month-old uprising and civil war, the United Nations said this week, sharply raising the death toll estimate in a conflict that shows no sign of ending.
The explosion occurred in the Barzeh al-Balad district, whose residents include members of the Sunni Muslim majority and other religious and ethnic minorities.
"The station is usually packed even when it has no fuel," said an opposition activist who did not want to be named. "There are lots of people who sleep there overnight, waiting for early morning fuel consignments."
It was the second time that a petrol station has been hit in Damascus this week. Dozens of people were incinerated in an air strike as they waited for fuel on Wednesday, according to opposition sources.
Amateur video posted online shows disturbing images, including charred bodies, but NBC News could not independently verify that the video was from Wednesday's attack.
NBC's Ayman Mohyeldin has more on one of the bloodiest weeks of the 22-month conflict.
Meanwhile, rebels battled on Thursday to seize an air base in northern Syria, part of a campaign to fight back against the air power that has given Assad's forces free rein to bomb rebel-held towns.
After dramatic advances over the second half of 2012, the rebels now hold wide swathes of territory in the north and east, but are limited in exerting control because they cannot protect towns and villages from Assad's helicopters and jets.
Hundreds of fighters from rebel groups were attempting to storm the Taftanaz air base, near the northern highway that links Syria's two main cities, Aleppo and the capital Damascus.
Rebels have been besieging air bases across the north in recent weeks, in the hope this will reduce the government's power to carry out air strikes and resupply loyalist-held areas.
Dozens killed in Syrian blast as UN says 60,000 dead in conflict
A rebel fighter speaking from near the Taftanaz base overnight said the base's main sections were still in loyalist hands but insurgents had managed to infiltrate and destroy a helicopter and a fighter jet on the ground.
The northern rebel Idlib Coordination Committee said the rebels had detonated a car bomb inside the base.
The government's SANA news agency said the base had not fallen and that the military had "strongly confronted an attempt by the terrorists to attack the airport from several axes, inflicting heavy losses among them and destroying their weapons and munitions".
Rami Abdulrahman, head of the opposition-aligned Syrian Observatory for Human Rights which monitors the conflict from Britain, said as many as 800 fighters were involved in the assault, including Islamists from Jabhat al-Nusra, a powerful group that Washington considers terrorists.
Taftanaz is mainly a helicopter base, used for missions to resupply army positions in the north, many of which are cut off by road because of rebel gains, as well as for dropping crude "barrel bombs" of explosives on rebel-controlled areas.

My 8 year old daughter, Catherine, is as old as some of the Plebes (freshmen) at the United States Military Academy, West Point, NY. were ten years ago. Having grown up about an hour from West Point, I have visited and attended many football games in autumn. This was a special weekend for a football game. The sense of pride and respect I felt Saturday was at times all consuming. The men and women at West Point will be put in harms way upon their graduation as our country continues the war on terrorism. The football game against San Diego State University served as a cloak over a larger series of events this weekend. Former Mayor of NYC, Rudy Giuliani, spoke at half time to the Cadets and those in attendance.
The drive back home to West Chester, PA Sunday morning was spent listening to the memorial tributes being broadcast on the radio. When Paul Simon sang The Sound of Silence at the WTC Memorial my emotions poured out. From the back seat, I felt Catherine's hand on my shoulder and she passed forward a box of tissues. It is still difficult.
I spent much of the afternoon alone in my garden weeding upon returning home.

Comments: Just recieved these through the mail. They ran a bit small, so you must have a small head to have them properly fit. The lenses are great but the frame seems a bit fragile. I will still recommend it for it's price.

Ellensburg woman surprised home survived wildfire
Shannon Cogan can't believe her home survived the wildfire last month that destroyed about four-dozen homes between Ellensburg and Cle Elum.
She saw neighbors' homes in flames Aug. 13 as she fled with her dog and cat in her motor home from her property northwest of Ellensburg.
She told Daily Record she could feel the heat through her windshield.
When she was able to return three days later she found her double-wide still standing. But a well pump house and two other out buildings were destroyed. Her snowmobiles on a trailer in the driveway were melted.
Cogan believes neighbors helped save her home. She had been thinking of moving, but now she says it would be difficult to move away from close friends who were looking out for her.

Due to the holidays, the World Literature Book Club will meet on Tuesday the 18th of December instead of Tuesday the 25th.
The global economy has erased arbitrary boundaries between cultures. On a daily basis, we interact with the world in both large and small ways. We call phone banks in India, e-mail on-line businesses in England, drink fair-trade coffee from Columbia, read about micro-lending in Africa, and shop for green toys made in Thailand. But what about literature? Does the country define the writer or does the writer define the country? Or can literature take place in a global vacuum, devoid of setting? Join us as we wade in the literary waters of many cultures and sample some of the best of the best, one book at a time.

Salutatorian Madeleine Garza, during her commencement speech at Pettus High School Friday, said, "Now it is time for us to put all that we have learned into practice and contribute something significant into this world."
Garza reminded her classmates at the stadium that it is up to them to accomplish their goals.
"This class deserves success. Only time stands in the way of accomplishing all of our goals and success."
She reminded her fellow students that achieving their goals will not be easy.
"We made it through all the hard work and demands that school gave," she said.
"With the same effort and hard work we invested to get here, we must also make sure to take on life with this same attitude.
"We must be sure to know and understand that we are ready to go through some trying times and difficult situations."
She urged her friends not to lose hope even during the most difficult situation.
"We have to take one day at a time and know that our successes in life will be based on the decisions we make."
Valedictorian Lane Kruger recalled events back to his kindergarten years when he and the others were given their school supplies.
"The diplomas we receive tonight do not guarantee success any more than that kindergarten pencil did," he said.
"It is what we do with that diploma, that piece of paper, that represents all we have been through at Pettus ISD."
High school, he reminded, is not the end of the education.
"Now we need to use our knowledge and skills to move on to the next phase of our lives," he said.
"The world is now our hallway, and college auditoriums, office buildings, oil fields and battlefields will be our classrooms.
"My hope is we become fearless. My hope is we live with no regrets."

Popular orangutan, 5, dies at Milwaukee zoo
Zoo staff believes cause of Mahal's death may be pneumonia
A young orangutan at the Milwaukee County Zoo has died.
Zoo officials said 5-year-old Mahal died in his exhibit Saturday about 8:30 a.m. Zoo officials said he'd been showing signs of illness since Thursday.
The zoo's veterinary staff believes the cause of death was pneumonia. An official necropsy will be conducted to determine the exact cause.
Zoo officials said Mahal was especially popular with zoo visitors and they intend to plan a way for the public to commemorate him.
A Milwaukee Journal Sentinel report said the red-haired orangutan was born in Colorado in 2007 but his mother rejected him. Mahal was brought to Milwaukee to be raised by a surrogate mother.

How to Make Biscuits and Gravy
For many Southerners, learning how to make biscuits and gravy for breakfast is an essential part of growing up. While the dish is now popular all across the United States, its roots are in the American South, where biscuits and gravy are served up morning, noon, and night -- pretty much any time when one might need a "stick-to-your-ribs" meal. While no two gravies are exactly the same, the type of gravy most commonly ladled onto warm, fresh-from-the-oven biscuits is white and creamy, flavored with bits of sausage. Though some folks think of biscuits as hand-held food (Yankees!), the biscuits in this dish are so heavy with gravy that a fork is the only way to go. This biscuits and gravy recipe makes things nice and easy by using canned biscuit dough, so you can focus your efforts on the country gravy. The whole meal is ready in less than 30 minutes -- we think time well spent!
-Hi, I'm Miranda and if you're wondering what's for dinner? I have a recipe for you. How about biscuits and gravy in under 30 minutes. Today, we are gonna whip a batch of biscuits with peppered sausage gravy. So, I have our ingredients all laid out here, let's get cooking. We're gonna start with 1 can of buttermilk biscuits. Now, these are fresh out of the oven, 5 biscuits in total. We have 1 pound of pork sausage. We also have a 1/4 cup of butter here, 1/3 cup of all purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon of coarse ground black pepper. We have 1 and 3 quarter cups of chicken broth, and also we have a quarter cup of half and in half. So, over here I have a 10-inch skillet. I'm gonna begin by putting this on medium high heat and I am gonna cook up our delicious pork sausage. So, I'm gonna let this cooked in the skillet for like 8 to 10 minutes out. I'll begin to crumble it as it begins to cook. I'm gonna keep an eye kind of stirring occasionally for 8 to 10 minutes. Alright, check out deliciously cooked sausage, amazing. What we're gonna do is just pop this onto a plate and wanna let this drain. Now, you could use a new pan if you want but because this has all the really tasty like, you know, yummy sausage juices, I'm gonna use this one to make a par gravy, so just gonna pop in that butter and let that all nice and melted. Do they sound like a medium heat? Alright, butter is melted. Next, we are going to whisk in our flour. Look at that all bubbly delicious with some nice whisky, wispy, wispy, wispy action here. Well, not whisky but like wisping like baby talk for whisking. Look how great that look. Let's put in our garlic powder. How about some pepper. It wouldn't be peppered sausage gravy without that pepper, right? beautiful, okay, give this nice little paste here, do our half and half, lovely and then that chicken broth, awesome. Alright, over medium heat, we're just gonna keep whisking this until it starts to thicken, give just a few minutes, and it will start to get nice and thick and gravy like. Alright, take a look at this gravy, so you know, obviously still liquid, but it's thick just like a gravy should be, check that out, beautiful. If you want it a little bit more, you know, thick. You are welcome to kind of keep stirring and cooking, but this looks delicious for me. So, I'm gonna turn the heat off, add in the all important sausage that cooked sausage, gorgeous, give that a nice stir around. Okay, and then all we have to do, so easy, I have our warm split biscuits right here and we're just gonna spoon it on top this wonderful sausage gravy mixture. Look at that delicious, ready to eat. Now, you know how to make biscuit and peppered sausage gravy.
What You'll Need

Step By Step
Bake biscuits as directed on can.
Meanwhile, in 10-inch skillet, cook sausage over medium-high heat 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly cooked; drain. Set aside.

The Phillies celebrated Roy Halladay's return with a pitching-dominated 3-2 win over the Dodgers, befitting of the ace of aces.
– 42 days. 42 long days. While he was out, the Phillies went 15-27–the second worst winning percentage in baseball during that span. It was a long, dark road. But Roy Halladay finally returned to his rightful place on the mound tonight, and his results were positive.
– Halladay went five innings, striking out six and walking none. He ran into some trouble in the second, when four straight hits to start the inning led to a 2-1 Dodgers lead, and a jam with two on and nobody out. But Halladay caught a break when Utley caught a bloop pop up and turned it into a double play. Suddenly there was just a runner on second and two outs. He struck out the next hitter to escape with no further damage.
– Halladay's velocity on his fastball hovered around 90-91 MPH the entire outing, and he had excellent movement on his pitches. He ran a few deep counts, but, for the most part, he looked very solid. On an 80-pitch pitch count, Doc was only able to go five innings. Under normal circumstances, he probably could've gone another inning or two before being lifted. He gave the team an opportunity to win the game, and that's all you could ask of him.
– The Phillies have a habit of making young pitchers with little experience look like Sandy Koufax. Tonight, they upheld that reputation. Stephen Fife, a 25-year old making his big league debut for the Dodgers, stymied the Phils' bats for six innings. They'd muster just four hits and generally didn't hit very many balls hard. Their lone run against the pre-rookie came in the first inning, but it was smooth sailing for him after that.
– The Dodgers bullpen would hold the Phillies hitless in the seventh inning, but a golden opportunity presented itself in the eighth when Ronald Belisario loaded the bases with a walk and two HBPs. Trailing 2-1 and with two outs, Hunter Pence strolled to the plate in what could very well have been the Phillies last chance to score some runs. He would not waste it. His single up the middle, which was the Phillies' only hit in the final three innings, plated two runs. It was a fantastic job by Pence to stay within himself, and drive the ball back up the middle. He came through with a huge, game-winning hit.
– The bright spot of this game for the Phils was undeniably the pitching. Though the offense did enough to win, the pitching staff put forth a fantastic collective effort, worthy of a victory. With Roy Halladay unable to make it beyond the fifth inning, it was up to the Phillies bullpen to finish out the final four frames. A combination of Michael Schwimer, Jeremy Horst, Kyle Kendrick, Antonio Bastardo and Jonathan Papelbon worked together to hold the Dodgers scoreless.
– Manuel worked matchups through the final four innings, but his most intriguing move was allowing Kendrick to start the eighth inning. The eighth has notoriously been a trouble inning for the Phils this season, and management is clearly looking for someone to fill the role. Kendrick would get two outs before surrendering a hit and prompting Manuel to bring in Bastardo to face Andre Ethier. Bastardo struck him out, and Manuel reaped the benefits of playing matchups.
– Papelbon slammed the door in the ninth.
– Confession: I wrote that last sentence before the bottom of the ninth even started. Like so many times before during this season, Pap didn't make me regret it. You have to love that kind of dependability.
– Tomorrow's sweep opportunity will pit two left-handed aces against one another as Cliff Lee and Clayton Kershaw take the mound.
– The Phillies are now 1-38 when trailing after seven innings. It took 39 tries, but they finally got a comeback after the seventh inning.
– The Phillies have now won four games and two series in a row after losing their first game after the All Star break.

Hot Damn, now we're having fun!
I liked the confession. Great job all around, but yes, the offense needs to stop giving opposing rookie pitchers confidence and start hitting them around.
Rookie pitchers tend to confound a lot of teams though.
Very true. Even some of the Phils' rookie pitchers have done well: Kendrick in 2007, Happ in his first season. A lot of it is batters not being familiar with a pitcher's repertoire, motion, and pitch selection tendencies. Some of those rookies come back down to earth the following season. Some of them even come back down the same season, when they're forced to face the same team twice.
I think my last post (from Gameday) was important enough to me to repost here, this was in response to respected poster Chuck A who basically said "it's over" –
I certainly don't disagree with you Chuck. But this was true grit Phillies baseball like we've been seeing since 2003. Who cares that the Dodgers virtually gifted that 8th inning to us with a walk and 2 hit batters – and that Pence hit the ball off his ankles (unreal) that somehow squirted through the middle – it was a come from behind win!
Sit back for a second, Utley, Howard, Vic and Ruiz -and Pitiful Poly – I'll say it, the "heart" of our lineup went 1 for 11 and the team only had 5 hits in all. The likes of Schwimmer, Horst (!?), Kendrick, Bastardo and Paps came in and shut the Dodgers down in the last 4 innings. It was gutsy, it was good watch, it was Doc doing his best Doc imitation and they won.
Chuck, I'll take good baseball for the remainder of the season, not this horsebleep we have been swallowing for the past month and a half and I will be satisfied enough to purchase another round of tickets for next year – playoffs or not (but if they play like this, they will be in the post season – just sayin')
Brooks, just wondering if you would agree with this:
If 1) Pence hits the ball hard and it bounces through the middle, then the Phils showed true true grit and played good baseball.
If 2) Pence hits the ball equally hard but the shortstop reaches it and throws him out, then there is no grit, they've given up yet again, Pence has choked with RISP, and it's another stupid loss.
Not asking if you think that's the proper way to view it, just wondering if that's the way many fans (maybe even you) would view it.
The same question could be asked about Manuel's bullpen management. Had Schwimer been inefficient, or Horst not done his job, or if Bastardo walked that one batter instead of striking him out, would fans be critical of Charlie and claim he used inexperienced guys in pressure situations, or that he should have had Papelbon go for a 4 out save?
To some fans, it appears that when your players actually do their jobs, all's fine. When they don't, you're an old fashioned, completely stubborn moron.
It is a game of inches and luck is the driving factor. Is there anything that really determines luck?
A lot of people believe that if your outlook is negative, that is the kind of luck you'll have. Perhaps this "lucky" bounce will in fact alter the perspective of a few of the Phils key players who just could be pressing hard to change their "luck".
Yeah…it's a game of inches, a game of luck sometimes. Pence's hit was sort of just that. And with those relievers, an inch (or less maybe) here or there with where their pitches end up and it's an entirely different outcome.
I think we need to give props to the team for a nice win and a nice little streak right now. They are playing well on some…not all…levels. It's enjoyable to watch. But it's also important to not get too excited. I'm all for playing each game like it's the last game and taking it one at a time and seeing where it goes. But the chances of making the playoffs are still very slim and I would shocked if they made it.
That's 4 in a row!! This definitely feels like another team… Even when they were down it was fun to watch them (recall the play at home in which Howard was actually safe but called out). Kudos to Charlie for playing matchups (that was huge) and to Pence for his huge hit.
I had to chuckle when the LA times' story this morning started like this:
"This is turning ugly.
The Dodgers still can't hit. And now, their bullpen looks vulnerable."
Finally great games and I am asleep just as it gets exciting. Winning games is wonderful but how about doing it when we are back to 7PM EST. Just can't make it after midnight and wake up early for the job. Today's game is early so I hope they don't revert to their old selves again Kershaw.
Also, I am a central NJ fan here so I have to catch my games on MLB TV. Only get the home team feed so listened to Vin Scully for the past two evenings. Maybe I just don't get it, but I find him annoying as all heck. He just doesn't shut up at all and gives story after story. I am not a huge fan of our announcers but sometimes I like it when the announcers take a breath and let the game speak for itself.
I AGREE!!! Vin Scully was monotone and boring!!! My secret RatBastard is to turn the sound off on the live version of MLB and Play the gameday version on another browser and use the audio from that to follow the game. Much better. Although I don't know all the announcers in Philly there is a guy (older) who never stops laughing. Annoying!!! But still better than Scully. Is he for real with that yellow hair and fake tan??? Is that make up on his face??? I know people are vain but omg this guy needs a reality check.
Another comment…..why can't fans just enjoy the fact that we are winning and trying. Trying is the optimum word here, instead of the constant malaise of the last 6 weeks or so. To me the fact that they came back in the 8th inning and finally got some additional runs, no matter how we got on base is huge. Remember alot of this is a state of mind and their mindset is turning from losing to winning….that's a good thing!! And other teams took advantage of our problems and lack of good players to boost sweeping us or winning. Especially with a crappy inefficient bullpen we had, inefficient hitters and our main players on the DL, they were ecstatic to win over the Phillies…..it was a joke! It turns out that one of their bull pen pitchers had a bad day, why shouldn't we capitalize on that and enjoy the win. Go Phillies!!!
"…why can't fans just enjoy the fact that we are winning and trying."
I agree with half of this. Absolutely we should enjoy and celebrate the win.
But to go back to what I asked earlier, if the shortstop happened to be positioned a few feet over and was able to reach Pence's grounder up the middle and throw him out, would we still be talking about how much they were trying to win?
The point of course is not that they weren't trying last night, but that they've been trying all along.
I dont mean to be negative but the phillies only scored 1 run off of that triple A pither. I would expect more.
When I was a kid starting little league, the coach told us this- It's a round bat and a round ball…..
If you played the game, you know the rest. It can be a very unforgiving and cruel game, it's not always someone's fault.
That said, I do agree that JRoll does not run every ball out. I don't know precisely why, but it's not anything new, I think he may have stopped doing it after his first calf injury, but I don't really remember. I'm trying to recall if Bowa used to get on him about it? I don't know.
He's still a great shortstop, and a pretty good hitter, he just doesn't hustle down the line on every batted ball. Anyone can see that he's not Charlie Hustle. But he still adds a lot to the team. I do wish they'd bat Pierre lead-off instead of him, I think he could drive in more runs elsewhere. Just my 2 cents.
I'm with you on Rollins.
Regarding Pierre leading off, he certainly has gotten on base more this year (.351 to .317), but not since early May (PIerre .327, Rollins .336). So unless you entrusted Pierre (who many didn't even think should make the team) with the leadoff spot since opening day, you would have missed out on any advantage he might have given you.
Since the start of last year, their OBP is essentially the same (Pierre .336 vs. Rollins .329). The gap widens a bit, but is still not dramatic if you go back to 2010 (.338 vs. 327), and you would have to go back to 2009 to really see a difference between the two.
So I guess my position on this is if it's not going to make a big difference, and until they do have somebody who's clearly a better fit in the leadoff spot than somewhere else in the order, leave Rollins where he is most comfortable.
Agreed all the way.
I think you missed my point, friend. It's not that Pierre is so much better at lead-off, it's that
– to quote-
"I think he (Rollins) could drive in more runs elsewhere." Rollins is slugging .591 in his last 30 games, second only to Ian Desmond. I think it's a waste having him bat behind the 8 hole hitter and pitcher.
If Pierre will run out every ball, bunt, and be more of a threat (imagined or not) on the base paths at this point, I 'd like to see him hit up top. In simple terms, if he'll be a pest, a spark plug, a pain in the ass there, then I don't care if the OBP is similar. I can only go on my own managerial experience, it's just my way of doing things, it doesn't make me right and Charlie wrong, I just wish he'd at least consider trying it.
Shoot, went too fast again- Jimmy's SLG is second only to Desmond among shortstops
My two cents: Pierre can't be placed in the leadoff spot on a consistent basis because he's a platoon player. He doesn't usually play against lefties, and there's probably a reason for that.
Manuel did try Rollins in different roles early this year, and he drove in far fewer runs than he has in the leadoff spot. It could be argued that he was in a horrible slump at that time, but it could also be argued that he wasn't hitting because he was in unfamiliar territory. One could move him back to the three hole, but that would be fixing something that isn't currently broken.
With Rollins' slugging % he has one other advantage over Pierre. He can hit double, triples, and home runs. Pierre can basically only hit singles, and has to steal a base or two to get in scoring position, which can be risky.
Yes, a round bat with a round ball that you are asked to hit squarely!!
The thrill of victory. And the agony of reading about it the next day.

Fresh New Design
Sign up now and receive 5% off on your first purchase. Get the latest new products and sales before anyone else!
Recognizing the inherent aesthetic qualities of organic objects is at the heart of Owen's work. Although often unnoticed, these natural design elements are quite dramatic and beautiful (e.g. the veining of a leaf, the sculptural form of a bleached bone, the texture of a popped kernel of corn). Combining these qualities with clean, simple design distinguishes Owen's unique art form as he studies the interplay of organic elements juxtaposed with precise design. Often geometric in design, his work also explores repetition of both positive and negative shapes. Influenced by two contemporary European artists, Andy Goldsworthy and Chris Drury, Owen strives to set his work apart in an exciting new genre of art and design labeled by some as Organic Modernism. Owen hopes that his work will inspire viewers to literally stop to smell the roses and realize the intense beauty found in the everyday, mundane objects of nature. With undergraduate degrees in both Liberal Arts and German from Utah State University, Owen fulfilled prerequisites for architecture studies, which included many art and design classes. Simultaneously, Owen began creating and selling his first pieces of botanical art. After completing two years of post-graduate work in architecture at the University of Utah, he realized that his true passion was creating and marketing his leaf art. Owen believes his best training came from his childhood and the hundreds of hours spent exploring every natural element along the rural, irrigation canal behind his home in Northern Utah.

tsuwm has outdone himself today.... what a magnificent word!!
of course, M-W couldn't make heads or tails of it (they inexplicably wanted it to be "echocardiographic"), so i googled it and came up with the most amazing word list (so amazing, in fact, that i wasted my entire morning on it and have precious little time left to AWADize before i must be on my merry way to the mall). it's a aptly self-described "list o' nifty words", complete with definitions.
here's the link, but make sure you have some time on your hands (unless, of course, you are tsuwm, in which case it'll read like a primer):

ol' skb (steve baum) and I are on intimate terms (as these things go). his list is absurd.
actually®, one of his major sources is _Mrs. Byrne's Dictionary of Obscure, Unusual and Preposterous
Words_ of which I have an actual hard copy.
p.s. - one of steve's current projects is to find *on-line citations for all of the words in his list. good luck to him on that!!

What a great list! I love "a verbis ad verbera" (from words to blows).
"Abscotchalater" is equally cool. It sounds like it could describe one who has absconded with a bottle of scotch, but in fact means "one in hiding from the police." It is also a funny sounding word, perhaps because of the several hard consonants. It's like something that might come out of the mouth of one of those hard-nosed but very well-spoken British criminals in a Guy Ritchie film.
Thanks for the link; I've bookmarked it for further enjoyment.

an interesting aside to the eponymous Mrs. Byrne -- her full name is Josefa Heifetz Byrne, the daughter of violinist Jascha Heifetz. according to her book's dustjacket blurb, she "allowed her hobby of collecting odd words to sidetrack her career as a concert pianist and composer." imagine that....

Village officers investigating drug sales in the area apprehended Wilder after a foot pursuit, officers had to subdue Wilder with pepper spray after he fought back while officers were trying to arrest him. Wilder was found in possession of 34 individually wrapped packets of crack cocaine and over $500.00 in drug proceeds in his pocket.

Wilder was arraigned in the Town of Liberty Court and remanded to Sullivan County Jail without bail to appear in court again on 01/15/12 at 10:00am.
Chief of Police Scott Kinne states, "Wilder's arrest serves as a critical blow to the crack cocaine sales occurring in the downtown Liberty area. Those who choose to sell illegal drugs in the Village of Liberty need to be put on notice that this department will continue to engage in pro-active police work to investigate and arrest these dangerous criminals".

EXCLUSIVE Images of iPad 3 Digitizer
Posted on March 1, 2012
RepairLabshas already brought you exclusive images of the iPad 3 back housing. Now, just days before the official launch, this iPhone repair service can show you more pictures of Apple's latest release.
The picture above is the iPad 3 digitizer. This part controls the iPad's touch function, as well as includes your front glass. As you can see from our images, not much has changed in the look of your iPad. With the back housing in hand, and now with this piece, we can confirm your iPad will look a lot like the iPad 2, just that 1mm thicker. The picture above also proves that we will have the home button on the iPad 3, contrary to some reportsthat came out yesterday. We also can see that Apple is planning to have both black and white models of the iPad 3, which is not surprising.
Another change we have noticed is the digitizer connection. That difference between the iPad 3 and the digitizer part for the iPad 2 does confirm that the logic board will be different, just as we surmised by looking at the back housing.
Although there are quite a few internal changes coming for the iPad 3, including that much-anticipated LCD screen, the digitizer proves that Apple has not made any radical form changes to your favorite device.

Every year, in Taiji, Japan, dolphins are chased into a small cove and butchered in the most horrific and cruel way imaginable. The hunts are subsidized by the dolphin captivity industry, which pays top dollar for a few "show quality" dolphins that are ripped from their families. The rest of the pod is killed for meat laden with mercury and PCBs. Most Japanese don't even know the hunts exist. The Japanese government supports the dolphin killers and denies any health issues.
In 2004, we started our Save Japan Dolphins campaign. Through our educational work in Japan, the number of people eating dolphin meat has dropped dramatically. When we started, about 1,600 dolphins were killed inTaiji every year. In the 2014-15 season, fewer than 750 were killed. The Academy Award–winning documentary, The Cove, depicts Earth Island Institute's campaign in Taiji to stop the dolphin hunts. Recently, the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums, after 10 years of pressure, agreed to suspend the membership of any Japanese aquarium sourcing dolphins from Taiji. In response, Japan zoos and aquariums voted overwhelmingly to stop buying live dolphins from Taiji.
The Taiji dolphin slaughter continues. The government claims the kills are part of Japan's traditional culture when, in fact, they only started in 1969. Many Japanese who oppose the hunts are afraid to speak out publicly because of threats from the government and the extremist anti-foreigners groups. We continue to work inside Japan with Japanese activists and organizations to fight the dolphin killing and spread the news about mercury contamination of dolphin meat. We also joined in filing the first-ever lawsuit in Japan against the Taiji Whale Museum, which brokers many of the live dolphins caught in Taiji during the slaughter.
Mark Palmer, August 29, 2016
Last winter (the Antarctic summer), Japan killed 333 minke whales for "scientific research" whaling. During the 6-month dolphin-hunting season in Taiji, Japan, the hunters killed 652 dolphins (while catching another 117 live dolphins to be brokered to aquariums around the world).

Dear Friends of Istituto Acton,
James Joyce once remarked, "Rome reminds me of a man who lives by exhibiting to travelers his grandmother's corpse." Not surprising coming from the most representative of 20th century modernist novelists with his legendary hatred of the Roman Catholic Church. But for all of the ancient ruins and continuing attempts to assign the Church to the progressive ash heap of history, the Vatican and especially the office of the papacy manage to survive.
This remarkable (at least to said progressives and non-believers) fact has been fully evident here in the Eternal City since February 11, when Pope Benedict XVI announced his intention to renounce the papacy and officially end his pontificate on February 28 at 8pm. I happened to be in Mass when the announcement was made, and it was quite amusing to see a few of the faithful scurrying in and out of church to confirm the news they'd just received on their smartphones, although those less distracted or technologically advanced wondered just what was the cause of such improper behavior. Not too long afterwards, the global media focused their ever-shortening attention spans on the 85-year-old pontiff, at a loss to explain how the man known as "God's Rottweiler" could so serenely abdicate his throne.
Voluntarily giving up power is not something we're used to seeing, as witnessed by the resurgence of Silvio Berlusconi in the Italian elections that were held February 24 and 25. The election served as a perfect but unexpected foil for Benedict's resignation. On the one hand, the papacy is normally understood to be an office with absolute power, which changes hands only when the pope dies and the College of Cardinals elects a new one to serve for the remainder of his life. Yet for the first time since St. Pope Celestine V in 1294 (whose tomb in Aquila Benedict visited in 2009), we have a pope choosing to step down for the good of the Church he leads, vowing to dedicate the rest of his earthly life to prayer. That Celestine is a saint – the goal of each and every Catholic, from the most illiterate and unknown to the most learned and famous – is of no small importance, either. On the other, Berlusconi's attempt to become prime minister for the fifth time failed, with his party Popolo della Libertà coming in second to the center-left Partito Democratico and just ahead of the surprising MoVimento 5 Stelle, headed by comedian Beppe Grillo (no joke!). Far behind in fourth place was Mario Monti, the technocrat favored by the European Union and most foreign leaders. As happens so often in Italian elections, no single party won enough seats to take power, and we're about to see another weak, ineffectual coalition trying to hold the country together in the midst of an economic recession that has no end in sight. (For two perceptive yet differing takes on the election by American columnists who've lived in Europe, I recommend one by Bret Stephens of the Wall Street Journal and another by Roger Cohen of the New York Times.)
So Benedict the absolute monarch voluntarily resigns to make room for a presumably younger, stronger pope, while Italian politicians fail time and again but shamelessly represent themselves as competent and worthy of trust. The ironies are too many to list here. But if there is one take-away lesson, could it be that Christian understanding of ruling as service is superior to the modern liberal reliance on following one's self-interest? Mere talk about virtue can often be a cover for hypocrisy, something that modern theorists tried to reform through advances in the "science of politics" (see Federalist Paper n. 9). Still, regardless of how "realistic" a political system may be, can it survive without some understanding of the common good? It's obviously a complicated topic, one worthy of a dissertation in moral theology or political philosophy, but a disinterested Roman observer can't avoid this theological-political question for long.
Unfortunately, time is a luxury Italians themselves don't have, at least when it comes to fixing their economy. The populist but ultimately unserious movement of Beppe Grillo is founded mainly on outrage, a passion not particularly suited for governing a large modern nation. The austerity measures attempted by Monti were long on pain, short on gain – that is, policies to grow the Italian economy – and were therefore likely to be rejected. In the meantime, Italy will remain the sick man of the major European economies.
Like everyone else in this city, I have my theories on who may be the next pope and why, but I will spare you my amateur prognostications. Many are predicting a non-European could take over, while others think only a European or an Italian can effectively govern the Roman Curia. Will the Italian cardinals, still the most numerous national group in the college, reflect or reject the uncertainty and instability produced by the Italian elections? Are we in for a Karol Wojtyla-like selection that suddenly changes the public's impression of the Church? No one knows. The good news is we have the Holy Spirit to help the cardinals decide. Some of my Acton colleagues will be sickened by this blatant conflation of religion and politics; perhaps I'm thinking too much like a Roman. Then again, all Catholics are, through St. Peter and his successors, Roman in a certain sense, no matter where we live. And contra Joyce, our grandmother is still very much alive.

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking: Aug. 10, 2006
To address the unreasonable risks of injury and death associated with all terrain vehicles ("ATVs"), the Commission is proposing rules for adult and youth ATVs. The proposed rules include requirements concerning the mechanical operation of ATVs, requirements for providing safety information about operating ATVs (such as through labeling and training), and requirements for certification, testing and recordkeeping. The proposed standards would apply to adult single-rider and tandem ATVs and to youth ATVs. The Commission is also proposing a rule to ban three-wheeled ATVs. The proposed rules are issued under the authority of both the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA) and the Federal Hazardous Substances Act (FHSA).
