Summaries of Decisions Issued by the PDJ
No. 10PDJ088. People v. Cole. 11/30/2011. Attorney Suspended.
The Hearing Board suspended Derek W. Cole, attorney registration number 14761, for ninety days. The suspension was effective July 23, 2012.
Cole failed to competently represent his client, who was accused of sexual assault on a child, pattern of abuse. Cole, who had never before accepted a case involving such charges, did not acquire sufficient knowledge or skill to conduct his client's defense, nor did he adequately prepare or investigate the case. His misconduct constituted grounds for the imposition of discipline pursuant to CRCP 251.5, and violated Colo. RPC 1.1.
No. 12PDJ016. People v. Forsyth. 12/17/2012. Complaint Dismissed.
Following a hearing, the Hearing Board dismissed the complaint against Christopher Paul Forsyth, attorney registration number 22608. The People asserted that Forsyth engaged in frivolous litigation and prejudiced the administration of justice, in violation of Colo. RPC 3.1 and 8.4(d), by filing an appeal that the Colorado Court of Appeals deemed to be without merit. The Hearing Board concluded that the People failed to meet their burden of proving violations of Colo. RPC 3.1 and 8.4(d) by clear and convincing evidence.
No. 10PDJ097. Miranda v. People. 12/20/2012. Reinstatement Order Vacated.
The PDJ issued a notice vacating the Hearing Board's order reinstating Michael T. Miranda, attorney registration number 24702, to the practice of law. The Hearing Board's order was reversed by the Colorado Supreme Court, which concluded that Miranda cannot be reinstated until he has completed his felony sentence. Effective December 20, 2012, Miranda's name was stricken from the list of attorneys authorized to practice law in the State of Colorado. No opinion was issued.

Pursuant to CRCP 251.6(d) and 251.31(i), the fact of this private admonition is public information but the private admonition itself may not be published or otherwise disclosed.
Summaries of Decisions Regarding
Conditional Admission of Misconduct Issued by the PDJ
The PDJ's approval of a Conditional Admission of Misconduct does not result in a written Opinion but only a brief Order, which does not constitute precedent. Conditional Admissions of Misconduct are public record and are available for review at the Office of the PDJ, 1560 Broadway, Ste. 675, Denver, CO 80202; (303) 866-6658; www.coloradosupremecourt.com/PDJ/pdj.htm.

No. 12PDJ044. People v. Bernhardt. 01/4/2013. Attorney Suspended.
The PDJ approved a conditional admission of misconduct submitted by the parties and suspended Robert Leroy Bernhardt, attorney registration number 28915, for one year and one day, all but sixty days stayed on the successful completion of a three-year period of probation, with conditions. The suspension was effective February 8, 2013.
In one matter, Bernhardt failed to respond to his client's inquiries and to opposing counsel, and failed to file necessary disclosures and pleadings in the case. As a result, his client's case was dismissed with prejudice. In a second matter, Bernhardt was hired to assist a client with a modification of parenting time in a post-decree divorce case. Bernhardt failed to respond to a motion for attorney fees and untimely paid those fees on his client's behalf and did not object to a motion to modify his client's child support. Bernhardt's misconduct caused his client to pay more child support than appropriate under the circumstances. His misconduct constituted grounds for the imposition of discipline pursuant to CRCP 251.5, and violated Colo. RPC 1.1, 1.2(a), 1.3, 1.4(a), 3.2, and 8.4(d).
No. 13PDJ003. People v. Coulter. 01/16/2013. Attorney Suspended.
The PDJ approved a conditional admission of misconduct submitted by the parties and suspended Nancy Elizabeth Coulter, attorney registration number 21601, for two years, with reinstatement conditions to include restitution. The suspension was effective January 16, 2013.
In one matter, Coulter appeared in court smelling of alcohol, and in five others, she failed to appear in court on behalf of her clients. Coulter did not properly advance several clients' cases, failed to communicate with them, failed to return client files, failed to communicate the basis for her fees in writing, and failed to render services for which a client had paid. Coulter's misconduct constituted grounds for the imposition of discipline pursuant to CRCP 251.5, and violated Colo. RPC 1.3, 1.4(a)(3), 1.5(b), 1.15(a) and (b), 1.16(d), 3.2, 3.4(c), and 8.4(d).

The PDJ approved a conditional admission of misconduct submitted by the parties and suspended George C. Price, attorney registration number 10652, for two years and four months. The suspension was effective January 17, 2013.
Price failed to properly wind down his practice after his suspension in May 2012. He failed to provide his clients notice of his suspension and continued to practice law while suspended. Price also disclosed his client's identity and case information to another law firm without obtaining his client's consent. Price failed to provide an accounting to a client before distributing the client's funds to a third party. He also failed to disclose his receipt of attorney fees to the law firm that employed him, keeping all of those fees for himself without the law firm's permission. Price's misconduct constituted grounds for the imposition of discipline pursuant to CRCP 251.5, and violated Colo. RPC 1.4(a) and (b), 1.6(a), 1.15(a) and (c), 3.3(a)(1), 3.4(c), 5.5(a), and 8.4(c).

Following Jamie Moyer's eight-inning shutdown of the Indians, he was his stoic self in the clubhouse afterward. As pitchers often are, Moyer's analysis of his performance was monotone in delivery. He answered questions about tying Robin Roberts with his 505th home run allowed, the most all-time. "Today, he's probably smiling at me, or, laughing at me." He also spoke about Jimmy Rollins: "It's a good feeling to have key players back."
But what spoke volumes, to me, was the way he hung around well after he needed to. Most players speak their piece and off they go for the night. They speak in cliches and give the bare minimum in terms of quotes for the paper. Moyer stayed late and shot the breeze with a few writers and flies on the wall like myself. Pretty cool to listen to him just talk about the game like a young kid, when he could have been on his way home.
That is special. He's a student at heart, no matter his age. He enjoys speaking about the game; as he has matured into years where the usual player has been on the golf course for a decade, he continues to love the game with unbridled passion. Moyer may not laugh and smile like Jimmy Rollins, but the joy is there. He just does it in his own way.
Prior to the season, many (including myself) were led to believe Moyer was through. What else could we believe? A 47-year old starter coming off a rough 2009 campaign would surely be a candidate to be canned. He's proven the nay-sayers wrong again as he creeps closer to 50. Will this magic last through seasons end? Hard to say. But it's always fun seeing things that have never been done.

I'm glad he proved all the "We gotta get rid of him" folks wrong! He's a gamer!
I have to agree, and whats funny is he started off so shakey but he found his rythem and has been mowing teams down these passed 3-4 games
This was such a great, great post. Thanks for sharing your experience with us fans. We never get the opportunity to be up close and personal with the players. This gives us a taste of what it must be like.
Moyer is just phenomonal. There's no better word to describe him better.We are witnessing something special in a season where we've witnessed some hardships and disappointments. Karma comes in equal measures I believe.
It's nice to know that Moyer is a scholar as well as a generous giver of his time and passion.
Hats off to Jamie Moyer! You deserve our respect.
A 47-year old starter coming off a He's proven the nay-sayers
i think some words are missing here
I really love watching Jamie Moyer pitch. because he does it the right way. It is a pitching clinic every time he's on the mound. Every young kid that wants to learn how to pitch should be studying Moyer's every move. He is something special.
Just heard Radio Inteview w/ Digger Phelps who alluding to the fact that he (Phelps) was having a critical cancer diagnosis the wkend of Moyers Bad outing in Boston.
Digger(Moyer's Father in-law) felt as though that may have contributed to Moyer having is mind on other things and leading to the bad outing. Since then Jamie has put up back to back great outings.
But Dipsy wants to trade him. Read the other thread.
Yeah, I do wanna trade him. In short – buy high, sell low.
The Dipsy
Moyer is one of those guys it's fun to root for because he's such a class act.
If Moyer keeps this up, Happ comes back strong, and the Phils start scoring for Halladay, this 4.5-game hole they're in won't look so big.
I really think if he gets to 275 this year, the Phils have to consider bringing him back for another year with some sort of vesting option for a second (if he even wants to keep going). If he gets to 275 this year, he's got a shot at 300 and it would be in the Phils interest to try and help him get that 300 — which puts him in the Hall.
And if he's with the Phils two more years, has a WS (or maybe more) and his 300th with this team, he might go in the Hall wearing the Phils on his hat.
That being said, the vesting part of the contract has to be worded well. Because if he comes back and goes 5-15, I don't think the 300 will obviously happen and they wouldn't have to worry about keeping him around for the following year. Though if he went 5-15, I have a feeling he wouldn't want to come back…
Are you people nuts? This guy has a few good outings and you want him sainted. Guess what? Jamie Moyer is not a good pitcher anymore. He lives on the outside of the outside of the outside corner. If he doesn't get the pitch from the ump, he gets killed. Simple as that. I want Jamie to pitch well, just as I want all our pitchers to pitch well but please stop with the signing him for one more year baloney. Hey, I'd give him the going rate for a fifth starter but he won't take it – so later. I will gladly rethink all of this if we are looking at him in August with 13 or 14 wins and a 4.20 ERA (wow, what expectations!). News flash – 300 wins does not get him in the Hall.
The Dipsy
Isn't it the other way around….buy low, sell high??
If you had your way, Mr. GM, Moyer would be gone by the deadline, Jermaine Dye would be patrolling left and Scott Eyre would be here by August.
None of which have ANY chances of happening.
300 wins and he's in. But he won't get to 300. So save that debate.
As for the 13 or 14 wins….he has a great shot at that.
So why not a cheap, one-year, incentive-based contract?? WHY NOT??
Pingback: Tweets that mention We're Witnessing Something Special with Jamie Moyer | Phillies Nation -- Topsy.com
300 wins gets him to the HoF, Dipsy. He's already 9th on the career list for wins by a lefty. And he has more wins than anyone over the age of 40.
And as for the "outside of the outside" argument….so what!!. The fact that he knows how to live there and "convince" the umpire (more times than not) shows just how good he is. "Crafty" and "wily" are two words that come to mind.
reposted from previous page:
At what point will people realize that Moyer has helped us in each of the past 3 seasons??
Nobody is trading anything useful for a 47-year old pitcher … he's on our team to stay, and so far, that's a good thing.
Who cares what HIS record is.. i only care about what the Phillies record is when he pitches. . . for whatever reason, the bats usually show up when he's on the mound, except for his last two starts, when they needed him to fool hitters, and he did
his last two starts:
16 innings,
3 Earned Runs (all via solo HR)
10 Ks
5 Hits
2 walks
which has lowered his ERA by .60 .. from 5.03, to a respectable 4.43
only 8 NL starters have lower ERA, and more wins than Moyer
and his ERA is better than:
Derek Lowe, Randy Wolf, Dan Haren, Ricky Nolasco, Aaron Cook, Aaron Harang, Edwin Jackon, Randy Wells, and many more
Time to give props to the Phillies front office, for ignoring the fan base, and keeping Jamie Moyer around, realizing that the season is 162 games long, and you'll need as many quality arms as possible
It's also not true that he lives on the outside. A majority of his pitches may be aimed there, but he lives inside. That's where he gets his strikeouts and his jam-job grounders and it's where he goes when he needs a big out. I don't get to see many Phillies games because I live outside the area (and am too broke for the MLB internet package), so I watch a lot of games on MLB Gameday. It's awesome when Moyer pitches; not a single location in the middle of the plate.
Just when I was starting to like you Dipsy, I do see your point, that if some team came at you with a great offer for Moyer, you may have to look at it, but the Phillies are not trading Moyer. And it has been more than 1 or 2 bad outings, he has had 2 maybe 3 really bad outings, but even those with the exceptions of the Boston game he gave up 4 or 5 runs in an inning and then settled down. So you need to get over this one bad outing stuff. He is a fifth starter and if he goes 2 out of three starts like these last two I will take that from a #5 guy. He has a one hit complete game shut out, another complete game, just this year. There is just too much hate for the guy from you, you really do not like to be wrong that much. I mean I was kind of wrong last year about Pedro, though he did run out of gas in the WS. I admitted it was a good signing and it helped the team and then you move on. You never liked the way he pitches, and now he is proving you wrong that he can still win games and the hate still comes spewing out in your posts. This has been what 4 out of his last 5 starts have been better then good, celebrate it, and admit the guy is going to win more games than he losses for this team and enjoy it
I think the "if he doesn't get the pitch on the outside" arguement is pretty lame .. because its not anything that is specific to Moyer.
Moyer, Halladay, Lester, Sabatahia, Santana, Carpenter … if they aren't getting calls on the corners, they have to bring their pitches over the plate. and ALL PITCHERS get hit around the park if they leave pitches over the plate
A few years ago we would've killed for even a #2 starter that had a winning record, a low WHIP, and sub 4.50 ERA … now when Moyer is our #4-#5 starter, people are complaining about those numbers
He's got no trade value, as his contract runs out .. the Phillies should, and will, keep Moyer here and disrupt the timing of the opponents hitters, pitch as many innings as he can, and help the Phillies win another NL EAST title
I think some people are missing the point with this post. Pat Gallen only mentions Moyer's skills in passing. This post mostly is praise for Moyer's character and attitude.
In my opinion, that character and attitude are why Moyer has defied age for so long, and his character and attitude will probably help him to continue defying age.
Plus look at his era and that is one game where he gave up 9 runs in one inning for an 81.0 ERA and a game where he gave up 5 in the first and none for 6 innings after that. So he either gives up 5 runs or 2 you would not take that from #5 guy
jamie moyer needs to be gone sent back to the bull pen and the phillies needs to get rid of raul ibanez and jimmy rollins they are either getting worse or always getting hurt
John what is your problem Raul actually has been hitting around .300 for two weeks not great but better, this is the first time in 3 years JRoll has any significant injury, and Jamie Moyer has just pitched 16 innings of 3 run 4 hit baseball. What are you a Mets fan and want to pick them up or something, or a Braves fan who is already starting to worry since the Phillies gained on game last night
the phillies are getting worse as the the months go on yeah they beat the indians who r they they need to fire the manager the hitting coach and the batting coach they will not go the the playoffs this year because of the way the mets and the braves are playing i been a phillies fan for 25 years now and this is the worse i seen them play its like they r throwing these games like the chicago black soxes
The Boston game was the one that really killed Moyer's ERA. Before that game, it was under 4.00. It's once again headed in that direction. Not many fourth-fifth starters have Moyer's numbers; in fact I doubt if there are any. His wins aren't all because the Phils' offense scores big.
In the past two and a half seasons he's won 30 games, despite being relegated to the bullpen in the second half last year. Say what you will about the offense; some of his games the team hasn't scored any better than they have for the rest of the staff, yet he still keeps leading the team in wins. Sure, he's old, but that doesn't make him bad. So far this season, it hasn't even made him average.
Really John 25 years and this is the worst that they have played since then? Really? What where you asleep for the ninties when they were losing 90 games a year and you could not pay anyone enough to play here. I have been a fan since 1971/72 and they were some pretty bad teams then, a lot worse than this team, 72 Carlton won 28 games and phillies won 60 or something like that, now that was a bad team, a bad team with core players that were good and evetually great but a bad team. This team has potential All stars at every position, No way JRoll should go this year, and I am not even sure about Utley this year, but come on and come out of the closet you are a mets fan right
He either gives up five runs or two? So what, when most of the time it's two. Even an ace gives up a lot of runs sometimes, like Halladay did against Boston and NY. And please name me one fifth starter besides Moyer with two complete games and several more of seven or more innings. Name me one fifth starter who has lasted six in all his starts except two.
In fact, name me one FOURTH starter who's done that.
Further, I'll point out that in 2008 Moyer went 16-8, had an ERA of under 4.00, and ran off a streak of 15 straight quality starts. Fifth starter numbers, for sure.
George that was my point, I agree with your your 4/5 guys is going to get hit around sometimes, just like Aces, not as many games but if Moyer has 2 games where he gives up 2 runs and one he gives up 5 I will take that from any 4/5 starter. Because you know what if this offense ever performs up to what it is capable of some of those five runs games he may even win. Just like KK if he has 2 good to great outings and one bad I would take that from him also. Sorry if it sounded like I was bashing the guy, I am one of the few that has had his back for the last two years on here
good thing John Dinger chimed-in …
Worst play in 25 years? John Dingbat must have missed some of those late eighties teams. I saw them play against Los Angeles a year before they acquired Dykstra. Talk about zombies! They acted like they wanted to be anywhere but at the ballpark, and that would have included Hell.
I misread your intent with your Moyer comment; sorry. I think the lack of a question mark after the last sentence is what threw me.
guys, chill out. moyer is the man, end of story.
Jamie has like 8 kids? There's a reason he doesn't want to go home after the game.
Check out John Dinger's website….oh, that's right…."Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage."
Figures his webpage is non-'existent…..just like his logic.
Jamie Moyer is a saint. In fact the Catholic and Mennonite churches are going to lionize him in the near future. His spit will be turned into holy water and Ruben Amaro will sign him in August to another two-year incentive-laden contact as an incentive to get him to 300 wins. He will be under Phil Niekro's tutelege as he masters the knuckler and knuckle curve. Moyer will pitch for three more years. And he will reach 300 victories. He will be inducted into the Hall of Fame as an old-timer, but that will take place only two years after he retires. The stadium will be changed to Moyer Park and he will succeed Charlie Manuel, who will retire in three years, as the manager of the Phils. Kensington will change its name to Moyerville and Olney will change it to Moyertown.
Evan, that is an excellent and hilarious point.
Dipsy, get over your prejudices and give the man the respect he deserves.
I've been behind Moyer since before the season started, and he's only surpassed even my expectations. He's matching Halladay win for win, he has not one but TWO complete games (does anyone not named Halladay or Moyer have a complete game yet?)… his good starts this year have been truly stunning, and as is being pointed out everywhere, take away the Blip in Boston and his ERA is 3.5something. Hell, take away some rough early starts where he was finding his footing after 3 (3!) offseason surgeries, and I'm sure it's even lower. Another interesting stat to ponder: despite that one-inning start in Boston, he has still pitched more innings than anyone on this team not named Halladay. He is doing everything we could possibly ask of him and more.
If he runs out of gas later in the season, well, that's a shame, but for now, he is the man. There are a helluva lot of teams that would love to have a guy as good as Moyer for a #3 starter, and so far this year he's been our #3 starter. If other guys improve or he slips and he ends up back as a #4/5 starter, whatever – we're still doing great.
If he'll take a relatively cheap, incentive-laden, one-year-at-a-time deal, I'd love to have him back in 2011. The way it looks right now, there's no reason he can't be just as good next year.
The man's unkillable. Has nothing to do with baseball. Just can't die. And decided to be a ball player.
In Sellersville, where Moyer grew up, they are changing Main Street to Moyer Drive. The high school will be known as Moyer High and the local park — Moyer field. The public golf course will be Moyer Green. They even have a sandwich called The Moyer. Soon he will be hawking a longevity treatment called Moyer Clean for the colon.
Sorry guys, never liked Moyer. He was classless when the made the move to stick him in the bullpen last season. Went public. Not a good move on his part being a me guy. I still do not trust him. He can still have teams errupt for ten runs in the first. He does better off of young teams like Cleavland. The sox lit him up like a camel cig. Trade him today for bullpen help. do it ruby….fire yourself as well for killing this team.
Dobbs cleared waivers. Off to LHV for him.
Well, Moyer has been way better than expected and Halladay worse than expected.
Evens out I guess.
How has Halladay been worse than expected? We've given him about 10 runs over 20 starts lol.
How is Halladay "worse than expected"??
With run support, he would have like 3, maybe 4 more wins.
His FIVE complete games lead the NL.
His ERA is 2.43
He has 98 Ks to 16 walks.
Oh, and he pitched a PERFECT GAME.
Pingback: July 2010: DROID X by Motorola Lands on the Nation's Largest & Most Reliable 3G Network | Howse's Business Opportunity
Halladay also leads the NL in:
shutouts – 3
batters faced – 464
BB per 9 innings – 1.3
strikeout to walk ratio – 6.13
Yeah, I'm really sorry he's on the Phillies….definitely "worse than expected"
With run support (and without the bullpen meltdown on Sat), Cole Hamels would probably have 10 wins.
Name me another #1 and #2 combination that's any better right now than Halladay and Hamels.
What was I thinking.
Everything is great . Halladay is infallibel. None of the 11 hits v the Twins were his fault. None of those runs he gave up vs. Yankees and Red sox were his fault.
It's all the rest of the team's fault.
My bad .I should have known.
Jeff and his normally negative messages. Can't please them all I guess.
two better.
Garcia, Carpenter, Wainwright.
Make it 3 . How's that?
Whatever, teejvee….
You're the kind of fan that's gonna b*tch no matter what. You and Jeff and that guy from before, Just Crushed, must all either be related or the same person.
I believe you were asked yesterday why you bother to come on here if you're not a fan of the Phillies….and if you are a fan of the Phillies, why is every post negative beyond words.??
Do you EVER have ANYTHING positive to say????
Im having a hard time even coming on here anymore, because the same "fans" spewing the same negativity everyday gets old
….Halladay has been one of the best pitchers in the NL this season, and in his past few starts, gave up some hits
but to say that Halladay has been "worse than expected" is retarded, i guess maybe that he has 6 losses bothers some people
but his wins, innings, k's, etc .. are all up there with the best in the game
Not negative Pat. I root for this team just as hard as anyone. I do not trust Moyer in a big game. Yes, I was shocked what he did against the Yankees. He got crushed against the sox. The Mets laid a beat down on him. We bail him by scoring runs for him. Just being truthful.
Halladay has been very, very good. He has not been heavenly, but he never was. But to call him a disappointment is totally unfair.
Hey JEFF you been totally negative. But some people really do see that glass half empty. Don't be ashamed to be philosophically pessimistic. This blog, like all blogs, needs its sour- pusses.
Pingback: Bring Home an Asset From School – not a Boat Load of Debt | Express Cruiser Boat Building & Design
I agree with Pat and Don. This negativity EVERY SINGLE DAY is hard to freaking constantly take.
Jeff….do you "trust" anyone?? Just askin'
Yes, I have had problems with Moyer. Actually, my problem is more with Amaro signing Moyer to a second year, which was stoo-pid. I probably do transpose this hostility onto Moyer where it belongs elsewhere. I guess if someone offered me 8m cool ones to be mediocre, I'd take it, too. He pitched great last night. I want him to keep pitching great.
BUT, I am sick of everyone saying how otherwordly he his for being 47 and pitching in the majors. Good for him. Seriously. But I am really sick of hearing EVERYONE calling him "a great influence on the youngsters", "a second pitching coach", "plays the game the right way". Jesus…enough! And Chris Wheeler has a book of Jamie Moyer cliches that he just repeats over and over again like a broken record. I remember when Wheeler lauded Moyer one day when a batter popped the ball up to the catcher and Moyer was heard to yell "two hands" to Chooch, who was circling under it. "Wow! Did you hear that? Thats just playing the game the right way! Blah blah blah" I mean it was ridiculous. Then Wheels went down and gave Jamie a pedicure after the game.
Remember last year, when Jamie had that little hissy fit after being yanked from the rotation after sporting a lusty 18.38 ERA and then…then…having the unmitigated gall to complain about it???? Evidently, he was under the impression that, when he was given that bed of roses of a contract, that Ruben would permit him to work through his "rough spots". Yeah, let me tell my clients THAT when I screw up. And I'll say it….Moyer doesn't get his second year and Cliff Lee stays.
The Dipsy
p.s. Sorry Pat. I only read your article after the posts. Nice job.
And he's from Souderton.
The Dipsy
I'm not sure what you could get for Moyer at this point.
Excellent write up. Moyer has been dealing. The only way he goes if it's to retire a Mariner in a deal for Cliff Lee.
Dipsy, I wasn't happy with the second year, either. But you have to admit….he IS earning it….at least so far this season.
Oh, and let me repeat what I said earlier….300 wins gets him into the Hall. But he won't get to 300.
Hey, you need honest negativity. Its the negative verses the positive that makes this blog so outstanding. We have fun. This is not the end of the world. I beat my kids much less by venting on this blog. My wife still smacks me around a little, but I really like it. The blog is to have some fun, appreciate our differences, break a few stones from time to time and not take it so seriously that it ruins our day. Plus we get some great articles from Pat and the Crew that educate us and also stirs us up. Keep up the good work.
300 wins won't get him into the Hall of Fame … because, regardless of win-total, he's not a Hall of Fame pitcher
He's like a one-time All Star …
The Dipsy .. who, besides Chase Utley, and Roy Halladay .. DO you like?
I feel like you're taking over for the old GEOFF that used to post on here about trading Rollins, Howard, etc.. everyday
Moyer has been around long enough to know that Catchers, on high pops "up the elevator shaft" can sometimes try to snag it, but its spinning too much, and an easy out becomes just another foul ball …. For some reason you don't like Wheeler .. I think because him and Harry didn't get along in 1996? … but of all the announcers, he's easily the most knowledgable about the game, doesn't matter that he didn't play it .. that means that he probably studied it more, unlike Sarge who gives us insights like "you're gonna need some baserunners here..and in order to do that.. you're gonna need some guys to get on base!" …Thanks Sarge, that was really useful .. its gotten to the point where I usually don't even listen to innings 4-5-6- anymore
Moyer has been an "average" pitcher .. true … and thank god he's been an average pitcher, because while Myers, Blanton, Hamels, Happ, etc.. have been injured the past few seasons, he's really bailed us out
I think Moyer will, somehow, somewhere, make it into the Hall of Fame and will get 300 wins. He will make it for his perserverence, and his longevity, which translates into character. Satchel Paige made the HOF, so did Addie Joss after 9 years and dying early of TB. Both had extenuating circumstances. There are a number of pitchers who belong in the HOF, but 300 wins gets ALL OF THEM IN. Look for Blyleven, Kaat and Tiant to also be inducted someday. They deserve it more than Moyer.
Pat….I believe that Kendrick has a good future. I may change my mind, however, based on tonight's performance and wish him demoted to the deep minors. Hey, that is fando. And I admit to being a dumb fan, sometimes. But alway have fun.
I like a lot of players Don M, my good friend and respected poster, but who really cares about the players I like? Or who you like? I like a lot of players including almost all of the Phils. Who wants to read a post about how much someone loves a player.
RE: Wheeler. Without sounding like some kind of snobby so and so, I am more familiar with the story of Chris Wheeler than almost all….I think. No, I'm pretty sure. Harry hated him. Wheels hates Sarge Larry hates Wheels. The organization has kept him on and because of it we have this backwards ass broadcasting schedule where people get moved around to accomodate Wheels and so certain broadcasters don't have to work with him.
Scott Franzke and Larry should be doing TV. But as long as Dave Montgomery is here so is Wheels. Quite frankly, I don't know what either one of them are still doing here.

I couldn't agree with you more, Pat. This game keeps Moyer young, and you know he's got to be in touch with his innocence when he still goes by the name Jamie at the age of 47. hehe

Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
Clearly you pick the one with the least annoying fanboys. In this case, Gaara.
Just to humor you, the idiot that tired them up obviously, i don't even what to imagine what would happen to him if they caught up with him.
On the flip side, my boy naruto, itachi, kakashi, sasuke and garaa last.
i would have gone for itachi but he is sick and will die anyway so .... i would save kakashi
Caught me off guard, Itachi wouldn't allow himself to be captured like this...
I would personally rush to save Garra along the way pushing Itachi off the cliff n GTFO of there.D
None of them because with the nine tailed fox naruto can go BM mode with the tremendous amount of strength can brake free and free the others I don't need to lift a finger
Last edited by GEIxBattleRifle; 11-16-2012 at 11:17 PM.
i dont think they need saving at all
Gaara. That way there would be no annoying fanboys. I would also kill the rest on my way out for fun O. O
Kakashi first, then me and him could go back for Naruto and Gaara. I'd leave Naruto tied up so he doesn't insist on rescuing Sasuke. Having freed three of my friends, I'd go back and carry Itachi out, still tied up and wearing a blindfold so he can't Genjutsu me into rescuing Sasuke.
And I'd leave Sasuke there. Then he can ponder as he slowly dies how he's ostracised every last one of his comrades with his absurd irrational lust for vengeance. If you try and kill all your friends, who's gonna be there to rescue you when you need them, huh, Sasuke?
So yeah, everyone except Sasuke.
then Naruto,then Kakashi, then Itachi..Sasuke can be left to die but Naruto would probably go and save him though he's gonna run off anyways...:/
Kakashi or Itachi to make up a plan to save the others.
Kakashi, and only Kakashi.
Only one there who's not dressed like a blatant homosexual.
Looks like they're all going to get raped or something...
I feel like there about to get raped...
Naruto. Then he will use multi-shadow clone jutsu and then sexy jutsu and transform them into Inos, Tsunades, Hinitas, Sakuras, Mei, Ten-tens and my wildist dreams will come true.
I would save Gaara, he would save Naruto.
The three of us would join up with Kakashi and Itachi,
who only allowed their clones to be tied up and gagged.
All of us would walk off, leaving Sasuke tied up by himself, the ***mo.
i'd laugh and ask who tied them up...then leave
Really capture n restrian with ropes-___-
Ne who.. I would use multiple shadow clone n save em at the same time..BOSS .

Does anyone know the origin of the phrase "Teach my grandmother to suck eggs" ? It's such an amusing phrase, but where did it come from ?

I would love to know where this phrase originated, too! It also occurs in Brazilian Portuguese: vá ensinar tua vovô a chupar ovos. ("Go teach your grandmother to suck eggs") ... I was never quite sure what it meant, but I guess it's equivalent to "go fly a kite."

according to Quinion [see link], it's from an 18th century translation of a Spanish playwright; he also includes this verse to demonstrate the meaning:
Teach not thy parent's mother to extract
The embryo juices of the bird by suction.
The good old lady can that feat enact,
Quite irrespective of your kind instruction.

[pleonasm can be fun!]
research for my own modest word page has led me to discover (1) all of the good word sites in the known English-speaking universe [hyperbole] and (2) several useful tricks for taming the available search engines.
for instance, try this at http://google.com
enter the following search string as shown:
grandmother "suck eggs"
and there, right at the top, you should see the hit for Quinion, with whom I was already quite familiar and on which I leaped forthwith. this stuff really ain't rocket science!

Great seat covers with a perfect fit. Install wasn't too bad; front seats are the toughest but use a little common sense and you should be fine. Front and rear took about 2 1/2 hours. Theirs foam padding inside the covers for added cushion. Kind of pricey but a great product. Will definitely buy for future vehicles.

You have a good point about the giving tree, I never thought of it that way. I almost cried reading all this! Thanks for making me realize I really need to cherish each moment with DS. It's so easy to just let the time pass by quicker and quicker, you're inspiring with how you let your emotion out and you're enjoying these last nursing moments. I feel for you mama, and I'm not looking forward to that day

Watch Your Language
My DD only nurses twice a day, now. I know that she's young enough that she could pick it back up (esp. when I'm home with her over the summer) but I still feel that ?? of what if this is the last time ??? ??? whenever I nurse her because I also know that she could just be DONE at anytime. Being not sure if we'll have another baby just adds to the sadness... It is so tough to give so much and then suddenly, it's just over! But I see with my 3.3 year old that I can still give to him in other ways that really matter to him (snuggling, stories, hugs, kisses, even discipline!). Sometimes I think ahead to when they won't be around anymore, but I can only think about that for about 2 seconds because I just fall apart! Thanks for helping us to remember to cherish every moment!

Shelly, I don't know why I've missed this thread until now. It's very touching and I thank you for sharing your weaning journey. Your thoughtfulness and care in making sure that you are doing it the right way for both you and DJ is palpable.
This part made me for you. I hope it happens for you soon. You're a wonderful mother and you've been waiting a long time. As far as how different it would be, you never know. Maybe DJ would have totally weaned during pregnancy, maybe not. I still wonder how long Nora would have gone had I not gotten pregnant with D. I think I will always feel slightly guilty that by getting pregnant I pushed her away before she was ready.I wistfully wonder about how much different this journey would be if there was a baby and milk for another child.
"We are not put on earth for ourselves, but are placed here for each other. If you are there always for others, then in time of need, someone will be there for you."
s for you Shelly... I can only imagine how hard it is to see the end coming closer and closer. Your analogy about "The Giving Tree" made me .

My journey nursing MJ started HERE, but we got through it and she breastfed 19.5 months, self-weaned on 5/17/09
Mom to my current nursling, DS - "ME" born 10/2009 @ 10lbs 1oz, 22.25" He's 4 years old! And yup, he's still nursing.
Ask me about my successful VBAC! Click here for my birth story.
I feel the same way about my son who is 3.3. He weaned at one year b/c I was pregnant (I didn't really know what I was doing and helped him along a little). I TOTALLY wish that he had kept nursing and I had tandemed. sigh...
Oh well...

Wife to my handsome DH for 5 and a half years!
Whenever the weaning happens there is often saddness on the part of Mom. Did the child wean because society encouraged Mom to push the child along? Did weaning happen because of a new pregnancy? Did weaning happen because the child self-weaned? In all instances whether the weaning was forced, encouraged or gradual there is a permanent change to the mother-child relationship.
Shelly-You will someday look back at your journey with DJ and be so thankful that you had every nursing moment with him. It is so hard to imagine life without nursing him. It will be different and perhaps it would have been different if you had been given the possibility of nursing him through another pregnancy and possibly TN. But what you know and should be so proud of is your passion to give him all of you for these years. Your gift of Mothering him through nursing will have helped make your little guy who he is and who he will become. When the day comes that he no longer asks to nurse you can look into his eyes and know that you have given him the best start at life. You have taught him so much through your tender touch, your mothering instincts and your wonderfully powerful milk. He has been blessed to have you as his Mother.
Bump for Christine.

The Dallas Mavericks struck out on free agent priority Deron Williams, a loss that set back the franchise's hopes of contending for another title in the twilight years of Dirk Nowitzki's career.
Then Dallas opted not to match a contract offer the Boston Celtics made to Jason Terry, and days later, Jason Kidd stunned the franchise by passing on the Mavericks' offer to instead join the New York Knicks. Suddenly the NBA champions from just 13 months ago were a shell of their title team.
It took 11 days into the free agency period for Dallas to make a move and begin to recover from the shock of its failed Plan A. Contingency plans started to unfold with the signing of center Chris Kaman to a one-year, $8 million deal. The acquisition appears to have club focused on using the amnesty clause on Brendan Haywood, who is due $8.3 million this season and $27.2 million over the next three.
Needing a starting point guard, the Mavs pulled off a curious sign-and-trade with the Pacers. Dallas sent backup center Ian Mahinmi to the Indiana Pacers in exchange for 24-year-old point guard Darren Collison and defensive-minded wing Dahntay Jones. Collison and Jones both have one year left on their contracts.
The Mavs are also expected to make a strong bid for 76ers amnestied forward Elton Brand, giving Dallas a potential front line of Nowitzki, Kaman and Brand.
It's a start for a franchise that was knocked to the mat in the opening week of free agency and is trying to get back up and into contention in a tough Western Conference.

March 13, 2013 —
(A scene from the near future...)
"Hello, is this Mrs. Joanne Commoner?"
"Yes, this is Joanne."
"Good afternoon, Mrs. Commoner, this is Staff Sgt. Mark Striker with the U.S. Army, 14th Fundraiser Battalion. How are you this afternoon?"
"Good afternoon, Sergeant! Thank you for your service!"
"At ease, Mrs. Commoner. You may be seated. And thank you for your kind words. By the way, Mrs. Commoner, I am required to inform you this conversation may be monitored or recorded for quality control purposes."
"Of course, Sergeant. And do please feel free to call me Joanne."
"Thank you, Joanne. Rest assured that this conversation will be held confidential. Protecting your privacy is a high priority for your armed forces. As you know, since the passage in 2017 of the Norquist Act, which eliminated all federal taxation, all agencies and departments of the United States government have been charged with raising their own funds through direct solicitation of the public."
"Yes, Sergeant, I've been giving regularly."
"Of course, Joanne, I see that on your records. And we certainly do appreciate your generous past support. But today I'm calling you because we have an immediate, urgent need. We need a special extra push right now, to enable the DRZ-87 'Guardian Angel' Specialized Surveillance and Threat Elimination MultiDrone program to stay on track."
"Ooh, I think I heard about that program on the news this morning, didn't I?"
"Yes, you did, Joanne. At 07:53 on the 'Fox Homeland Bulletin,' in fact, while you were having your coffee. And thank you for keeping yourself so well-informed. So you are already aware of how absolutely, inarguably vital this program will be to maintaining our national security and protecting our freedoms over the next five years. You do agree that it is very important, don't you, Joanne?"
"Why, of course, Sergeant."
"Then can I count on you—can your fellow citizens, and our boys and girls out there in the deserts of Mongolia, Bolivia, Algeria, and Portugal—can your country count on you for another $25 this week?"
"Oh, Sergeant, of course I would. Well, wait, oh dear, I do have to pay to renew my prescriptions this week."
"I know, Joanne. Under the provisions of the Defense Fundraising Facilitation Act of 2018, I have complete access to your medical and financial records, which of course we do not release to any other party; protecting your privacy is a high priority for your armed forces. And I see that it's your blood pressure medication that's up for renewal, correct?"
"Yes, Sergeant, that's right—Blobitor, 25 milligrams."
"Tell you what, Joanne, if you will agree to an immediate withdrawal of just $25 from your account, I will contact your pharmacy and arrange for you to receive a 33% Patriot's Discount on all your medications this month, and we'll send you a certificate of appreciation personally signed by both Gen. Remington and the CEO of Lockheed-Boeing, suitable for framing, how would that be?"
"Why, Sergeant, that would be wonderful! Thank you so much!"
"It's our pleasure, ma'am. Oh, and one more thing, Joanne—if you see your neighbors, the Paxtons—we haven't heard from them for a while. Would you let them know we're looking forward to their renewed participation in America's defense?"
"Oh! Why, of course, Sergeant! Indeed I will!"
"Thank you, Joanne. Freedom bears a high price, and we all get to pay a part of it. You may now resume your normal duties. And have a nice day."

- Title
- Development of a plasma immersion ion implanter for the surface treatment of metal components
- Author(s)
- Collins, G. A.; Hutchings, R.; Short, K. T.; Tendys, J.; Van Der Valk, C. H.
- Abstract
- Plasma immersion ion implantation (PI3) has emerged as a viable alternative to conventional ion implantation for specific applications, such as the implantation of non-planar components and in hybrid treatments such as high energy, ion-assisted deposition and energetic ion nitriding. It is particularly suitable for the treatment of metal components where improvement in surface hardness and wear resistance is required. This paper describes the development of a PI3 ™ system, aimed at treating metal components up to a few hundred square centimetres in surface area with a hybrid implantation/diffusion process. Heating is provided by high energy ion bombardment. Complete process control has been implemented using industry standard equipment familiar to the process engineering community where possible. The implanter is described and its operating capabilities and reliability in a process environment are discussed.

Former Walker appointee sentenced for theft
A former associate of Gov. Scott Walker convicted of embezzling money from a veterans' group has been sentenced to two years in prison.
A jury found Kevin Kavanaugh guilty of theft in October. Prosecutors say Kavanaugh stole more than $51,000 intended to help veterans and their families.
The 62-year-old Kavanaugh apologized in Milwaukee County Circuit Court Friday. Judge Michael Guolee called the apology "worthless."
Kavanaugh will also serve two years of supervision after his prison sentence and must pay more than $51,000 in restitution.
As Milwaukee County executive, Walker appointed Kavanaugh to head the county Veterans Service Commission. Prosecutors say he skimmed money from phony withdrawals from a veterans-service organization.
Kavanaugh is the fifth Walker aide or associate to be convicted in a secret probe. A sixth is awaiting trial.

text: I had significant problems with OS and OALD when DS was born 2.5 years ago. Long story, but I experienced almost weekly plugged ducts and he had severe colic problems for the first 18 weeks until things finally leveled off . DD is now 4weeks old, and I started block feedings as soon as my milk came in at day 3. Nursing is better this time around, but I am still having problems. I am currently nursing in 4 hour blocks, but DD still chokes and gags when nursing and frequently pulls off the breast. She will also spit up very large amounts about once to twice a day. I know this is due to OALD. I will hand express some milk once I feel the let down (or before nursing if I feel engorged). I can easily hand express a couple ounces before the milk stops spraying (usually I just let it spray into a towel). I want to help reduce DD's discomfort, but won't expressing this much just continue to stimulate more milk production? I am also nursing her while either reclined or laying down with her on top to try to reduce her choking. She is otherwise doing well, having plenty of wet/poopy diapers and gained 20oz over the past 13 days . I will also be returning to work in a couple months so I have pumped twice so we can start introducing DD to a bottle. I was able to pump 4oz from one breast in less then 5min .

I used to say I preferred 20 below zero to 90 above zero any day of the week. That's how much I dislike hot weather. And how much I like the cold.
The vaunted polar vortex earlier this week proved me wrong.
I have betrayed my heritage.
While I have plenty of eastern European blood coursing through my veins, most of it is from the northern European Lillehammer region of Norway. I lived the first 13 years of my life in South St. Paul, Minn., and don't let "South" fool you. They had to call the town that shared a southern border with capital city St. Paul something, and they weren't particularly creative. Little Canada, Minn., a St. Paul suburb, is boldly creative, taking on and paying homage to our neighbor to the north.
St. Paul, the better half of the Twin Cities, is the coldest major metropolitan area in the country. It snows in May, for crying out loud. Below-zero temperatures are ordinary, and you best get used to them or they will devour you.
We moved to tropical southeast Iowa, where below-zero temperatures and deep snow were rare, and that took some getting used to. The people were soft. I returned to Minnesota to attend college and experience the cold and snow once again.
I got half of the pair – the cold. It might have been a snowless winter in St. Cloud, but it was cold. For two straight weeks, the temperature plummeted to at least 20 below every night, and zero was barely seen during that time.
It was cold, but you dressed for it. Heaping injustice upon the bitter cold was the 1974 yellow Vega I drove. That car didn't like the cold, and I had to baby it.
Student parking was more than a mile from student housing, and I soon found out that if I wanted the car to start in that cold snap, I had to remove the battery, lug it in all its heaviness across campus, and let it warm up in my dorm room, then lug it back to the car when I needed to use it again. This was definitely a "need" not a "want" time of my life.
Batteries then weren't sealed that well, and battery acid splashed on my dark blue parka, eating small holes in the nylon fabric. I wore that coat for several more seasons -- college kids didn't have a lot of discretionary money – and the holes were badges of fearlessness in the face of bitter cold, especially walking into a north wind. We didn't talk much about wind chill then.
While Iowa did not get the extreme cold in the winter, it got extreme heat in the summer. It wasn't unusual for the temperatures to climb into the 100s in July and August and the 90s were a cool front. I melted like an ice cube. I couldn't handle it.
And I worked outdoors on farms and feed mills, baling hay and unloading grain bins. It was hot work under extreme heat. You can't dress for it. You just sweat, which was fine when you were working but not so fine when you were going to church. The sweat glands did not turn off. It felt good to sweat at work; not so much so at church.
But that led me to state I would take 20 below zero over 90 above zero any day of the week.
I knew the polar vortex was coming as early as last week, according to my main weather source, Weather Underground, a great website. You can plug in any locale in the country and get current weather conditions and a long-range forecast.
Weather Underground told me that it was be 19 below zero Monday night, after a night of 15 below, and it was sticking with its forecast day after day. I had a meeting in the Hyde Park neighborhood in Chicago for 9 a.m. Tuesday, which would put me on the 6:38 a.m. train out of Woodstock, and waiting for bus transfers in Chicago well before 9 a.m. And it was going to be 19 below zero.
Me? The guy who prefers 20 below to 90 above?
I canceled the meeting because of the impending cold. I wasn't about to stand a half hour outside waiting for the next bus to come. It was too cold, especially with the wind off Lake Michigan.
I chickened out. And I can't honestly say I prefer 20 below to 90 above anymore. The extremes don't compare. I won't cancel a meeting on a 90-degree day. Maybe I'm wising up.

Kayak Options
I'm hoping you guys will share some of your kayak rigging and techniques. I've got a good platform for fishing and for the most part I've fished slower moving rivers and lakes. I've only targeted bass when fishing from the kayak. The past year and a half I've been in waders fishing for trout. A recent trip to the Clinch and threads posted on floating has me wanting to get the kayak out again.
The biggest question I have is where is a good location for the solo yaker. 1 car, 1 kayak, 1 person makes float trips a little confusing. I need somewhere to go that I can paddle back to the car (unless there is another way).
The other question was the use of a drift chute/sock. Needed or not. I seem to have issues with the motion of cast turning the kayak. I've seen a small paddle kinda like an emergency paddle that would probably work well so I didn't have fight with the larger paddle and the rod.
I'm hoping to target some of the bigger browns or just have a nice quiet float.
I float and fish out of a 12 ft solo canoe and have it rigged with a drag chain off the stern that can be raised and lowered while sitting. It works great for slowing your drift and keeping the boat straight. Most canoes and yaks do not have enough of a keel to prevent the twisting as your casting. Try hanging your left foot/ leg in the water if a right handed caster. I did that a lot when I fished from a sit on top kayak. Simulates a keel. Never used a drift chute but would be afraid of it catching lots of grass. I also use a kayak paddle but have a small back up paddle for quick course corrections especially when the wind is blowing the bow off course while drifting. It can get very frustrating dealing with current, wind, casting, and mending while trying to control the boat and fish at the same time. But it's nice to be able to get to places only a drift boat or pontoon craft can go. I usually paddle upstream from my launch point and fish back if by myself or paddle to shoals and wade around with the boat tethered to me.
Riverbassin forum has a lot more fishermen using kayaks and canoes to float rivers than this one and has a lot of info on rigging your boat
I've never had a problem using the dragchain but I keep a knife handy in case I need to cut away.
I fish from a kayak on a regular basis. I use the drag chain also. It's very cheap and effective. I do put duct tape all the way around the chain. that keeps it from hanging up as bad.
I have also used a ping pong paddle while I am fishing. It is small enough to put in your lap and does a fairly effective job.
Paddle upstream before you start fishing or stash a bike at the takeout and pedal back to car (leaving kayak at takeout).
No chute or driftsock, you are moving along pretty much at the same speed.
A drag chain is ok, but if it snags (and it will eventually) you are in for a sudden jerk. With the low freeboard of a kayak, it is very easy to end up in the water. I prefer finding places to wade (and using the kayak for shuttle) or using an anchor off the bow (only in calm water, otherwise it is like snagging a chain above).
I keep my paddle across my lap, or within easy reach. I do get line tangled around it occasionally but I figure that is just part of the nature of fly fishing. I have an anchor I made out of two old window weights. The rope is attached on one end instead of the middle so if my yak moves too much it lifts the end and slides over most rock structure. It has only ever got hung once in 4 years, and that day was exceptionally windy, I should not have ever launched.
don't go ninja'n anybody don't need ninja'n

One last drift effort
drag chain
an old bike inner tube works great for covering the chain are reducing hangups. I have it tied to a retractable dog leash which makes it easy up and down. It is pretty easy to find this set up on google.
