Rated as one of the top 10 best golf courses in Aquitaine by Fairways Magazine, France 2013
Donald Steel, considered to be one of the very best "natural" golf course architects, created our unique 27-hole course in its peaceful and scenic setting amidst plum trees, oak woods, lakes and vineyards
Donald Steel has contributed to many world-famous courses such as the Jubilee and Eden courses at St. Andrews as well as Chantilly in France. He designed the course with Château des Vigiers as its centre-piece and the 9th and 18th holes finish off in front of the Château. Many of our other undulating greens will enable you to enjoy different perspectives of the Château.
When asked by Golf World to name his favourite hole from his long career, Donald Steel chose the eighteenth at Château des Vigiers, with its dog-leg over a ridge for the second shot over the lake on to the green; finishing in front of the Château. It was subsequently described in Golf World under the heading "Vintage Finale".
With the addition of the new 9-hole course, Vigier golfers now experience a much wider variety of playing conditions. The new course opened in early 2008, and integrates into the existing 18 hole course to form 3 new 9-hole courses: "La Vallée", "Le Lac", "Les Vignes". Golfers can now play three different configurations of 18-holes, each with different challenges and gradients.
Opération de carottage possible entre le 15 Mars et le 31 Mars.
The three 9 hole loops:
"La Vallée" Course: PAR 36, 3112m (3403 yards)
"Le Lac" Course: PAR 35, 2937m (3212 yards)
"Les Vignes" Course: PAR 36, 3083m (3372 yards)
18 hole combinations:
Vallée & Vignes: PAR 72, 6195m (6775 yards) slope 129
Vallée & Lac: PAR 71, 6049m (6615 yards) slope 125
Vignes & Lac: PAR 71, 6020m (6584 yards) slope 127
Château des Vigiers' courses promote quick play and accessibility for higher handicaps. However, the greens are frequently lightning fast and prove a test for any golfer. With strategic pin positions and longer rough, the course can be turned into a challenge for the best golfer.
One of our Members, Per Ulrik Johansson, who played for the winning European team in both the 1995 and 1997 Ryder Cup, took five years to get down from his initial score of 75 to 66, now the course record. He adds "It is an interesting and enjoyable course with tough greens. There are a few really great holes and a lot of good ones". John Bickerton, winner of the French Open in 2006, who represented us on the PGA Tour in 2006 and 2007, equalled Per-Ulrik's record of 66 in 2007.

Public Policy and the Legal Process
Understanding how public policy works gives a deeper knowledge of how the United States functions. Introduction to Public Policy and the Legal Process will explain who or what creates public policy and how public policy is created. By examining classic and ground-breaking public policy cases, students will witness how legal processes inevitably affect public policies.
This course covers topics such as religion of law in the United States law and justice and injustice, policymakers and lawmakers, theories of decision making, approaches to policy study, formation of policy proposal, communicating policies to constituents and implementing policies. By the end of this course, students should understand the basic history and process of policymaking, various ways to analyze public policy, and central ethical and public service issues relating to public policy and law.
Assignments may include a paper that analyzes a public policy case and involves critical thinking about how public policies are created and the results of public policies. Additionally, students may be asked to create a campaign proposal for a public policy issue. By incorporating procedural steps they've learned over the 10-week term— such as defining a problem, setting an agenda, gathering evidence, selecting criteria, constructing alternatives, projecting outcomes and trade-offs, understanding law and related technical processes—students will gain a better understanding of how policymakers think.

Take Your Rage to the Page: The Subversiveness of Zines and How to Make Your OwnTuesday, September 2nd, 2014 - 7pm
High school students only.
What makes you angry? What do you want to say about it? Zines have a long history of giving a voice to the silenced, publicizing stories that the mainstream media refuses to cover and, most importantly, offering people an outlet for whatever it is they are angry about. By taking their rage to the page, zinesters not only find a way to articulate their perspective but also share their vision with the world, often discovering a like-minded community in the process. On Tuesday, September 2nd, the Zinezards from Microcosm Publishing in Portland will teach you how to turn the issues you care about into a powerful tool for social change. Or, just how to use zines to tell a really good story. All participants who register will leave with a blank book as well as the Microcosm Zine of their choice .

'Looking forward, looking back'
By Stanley Harper
Councilwoman Eileen Falk, commenting on the proposed "Riverwalk" project during a public hearing: "Not trying to make Narrowsburg into something different, just trying to make it what it was."
Something we often hear: "I don't want Narrowsburg to change from the way it was."
Was when? In the 1800s, when pioneers built the settlements that became our towns? The '30s, when merchants built our Main Streets? The '50s, when many families prospered as tourism flourished? Some of them are still present. Some survive only as the names that mark our country roads, gravestones, or on businesses and buildings no longer their own.
In the '70s recession, tourism floundered. Peck's Plaza opened. The era of roadside malls and big-box stores began. Nationwide, the "big boxes" grew ever bigger, and brought impossible competition. Main Streets were emptied. Here, a few clung to the Main Street tradition. Our Main Street had a "group home" and many empty storefronts, some used for storage or apartments.
Today, agencies offer millions of dollars to help us develop riverfronts, but back then, some looked at our riverfront and envisioned a toxic waste dump for profit. The pall of intolerance lingered long, the presence of the Brown Shirts and the Klan still too recent a memory. Growth seemed impossible. The past is, in many ways, present.
But there were other visions: the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance, a newspaper and a chamber of commerce were established. A gallery here, a gift shop there. Some survived, some failed, all struggled. An overlook deck was built on Main Street for tourists and residents alike, over militant objections. Residents warned, "Outsiders will come! A waste of money! Not for the locals!" In their time of hardship, no one was looking forward. They had forgotten to look back.
Today, Main Streets are vital to small towns. Our location near New York City, spectacular frontage on the river and quality businesses on Main Street give us a triple advantage to revive our traditional tourism-based economy. Governments invest in revitalization because unique businesses differ from the big box stores' cheap foreign goods. Sparsely populated areas like ours prosper by "importing" an economy drawn to higher quality.
A living Main Street increases your tax base. Home sales increase as new residents enjoy its vitality; 50% of the sales tax collected stays in the county. Institutions benefit from the generosity of those who've prospered far away but now feel grounded here. The young return as entrepreneurial opportunity expands. Rural traditions like farming are revitalized. Narrowsburg's Main Street is alive with children's laughter again as in years past.
However, for some, all development plans must exclude Main Street in order to find approval. Conversely, any plan that helps Main Street (even as it benefits the town) is opposed. Main Street's residents, merchants, its customers, and its revitalization represent a wedge issue in 2012. Investment and hard work, which had always bound communities together, now divide us.
Some of us look forward to a new Main Street in the same spirit as that of the founding families, but many here no longer honor that spirit. As we look forward, we also look back to the struggles of earlier times, and hope that future generations will find meaning in our struggles after we are gone.
[Stanley Harper became a second homeowner in 1983, and has lived on Main Street of Narrowsburg, NY since 2000. At that time he bought a commercial building, renovated it, lives in it, and has started two businesses in it, the present one being Narrowsburg Fine Wines and Spirits.]

What the fark? Did Madson finally come to his senses???
According to Phillies.com, Ryan Madson and the Phillies have come to an agreement, in which Madson now accepts the Phils' earlier offer of a three-year, $12 million contract, thus avoiding arbitration. Either Madson has just realized that the Phillies' deal was the best that he was going to get for a while, or he has just told his agent Scott Boras to go stuff it and accept the deal. Either way, it's good news for the Phils as they now have their 'Bridge to Lidge' around in their bullpen for another three years. I am so happy.
Oh, and Scott Boras, I hope Madson did tell you to stuff it, you bad for baseball agent.
Now I do the happy dance. Three down, five to sign.
2 Comments
Oh my – there seems to be an epidemic of Boras clients suddenly coming to their senses! I think Jason Varitek is infected also! Let's hope that Mr. Boras needs to be quarantined in some far away location!
So it would seem. Let's hope so, as Manny needs to get away from him real quick if he wants any money for the next few years. As for quarantining Boras, that wouldn' t be a bad idea.

20 Best Beachmobiles of Recorded History
This our favorite afternoon beach. It's especially fun when we can take a break on a weekday, when you have the best chance of finding a secluded spot all to yourself. With fine white sand, shade from the occasional coconut palm, and the soothing whisper of the wind, this beach on the eastern end of St. Jean is especially relaxing. The water is usually very calm, especially toward the right-hand side of the beach, where it can be so placid and clear that it feels like you are swimming in an azure lake. One big advantage of this location is that it is just steps from the heart of the village of St. Jean, with plenty of small restaurants and shops when you need a break from the sun. When the water is calm, this is an ideal beach for children.
Maya's restaurant has been a sought after dinner reservation for decades, but as Maya's to Go it's become the insider's choice for breakfast and lunch too. In the morning, you can find muesli on fromage blanc, a perfectly flaky croissant, freshly squeezed exotic fruit juice, and killer coffee. Some days we go just to watch the island waking up. You see all the workers going to work, the tourists getting ready for the beach and the planes taking off at the airport. It is a vibrant and fresh, the archetypal St. Barth spot that attracts equal amounts of locals and tourists. Randy and Maya are in and out all day, greeting loyal clients who make Maya's to Go their first stop upon arrival. They know better than anyone else who is and is not on the island at any given time.

Counting Crows
Riviera Theatre – Chicago, IL
It's hard to believe that the Counting Crows are approaching two decades since the 1993 debut release of their acclaimed "August and Everything After." They are presently touring in support of their 2012 album of cover songs, "Underwater Sunshine (Or What We Did on Our Summer Vacation)." The Sunday evening show at Chicago's sold-out Riviera Theatre represented a solid mix between re-worked covers and Counting Crows classics.

Pregnancy possible throughout month
Sex fascinates many -- if not most -- people. It is considered an integral part of many marriages and other romantic relationship, drives wedges between young people and parents and, let's not forget, keeps the species going.
Despite its importance, some people cling to myths about sex. Holding beliefs about what is right or wrong, or what is fun or not, can be personal and often don't have obvious implications. But getting the facts wrong about conception can cause a surprise pregnancy and a host of other consequences.
Dr. Laura Berman says on her Web site that one of the big falsehoods that people believe is that women can't get pregnant the first time they have sex.
"You can get pregnant any time you have sex, whether it's the first, second, third, or thousandth time!" she writes.
WebMD.com also takes on a slew of misconceptions about conception.
The site points out that women get pregnant even if they're breastfeeding, don't have an orgasm or use the withdrawal method of birth control. None of those things can do much to prevent pregnancy.
Having her menstrual cycle timed down to the minute can make it more difficult for sperm to reach and egg, but since they can live in the body for quite some time, and the cycle of a woman's body is never that precise, accidents can happen.
Men, Women Not That Different
As for getting ready for sex, many people believe the notion that something visual has a greater effect on most men than most women. But a Foxnews.com says even that isn't true.
Researchers studied the brain activity of men and women shown full-color slides, some of which showed sexual activity. The authors of the study said that there were not differences in the reactions based on gender.
And, lastly, remember what the experts say: No matter what TV ads and spam e-mail say, a pill can't give you a size boost.

My 3 month old son has had a history of projectile spit up since approximately 2-3 weeks of age. His pediatrician prescribed Zantac for assumed acid reflux, but we saw no improvement. In fact, his spit-up has gotten worse, at times continuing for up to an hour and a half past his last feeding. His pediatrician then instructed me to eliminate dairy from my diet, suspecting lactose intolerance. I did this for four weeks, but after the first week or so, noticed his stool change from standard BF yellow stools to dark green. His symptoms also worsened and are now coupled with severe gas, associated abdominal pain and reduced bowel movements. I wouldn't be concerned over the reduced/lack of bowel movements, but after 3 days without a BM (versus typically 3-4 a day) he was in increasing pain. We were sent to the ER where abdominal blockage and pyloric stenosis were eliminated (though the staff was amazed at how much gas they saw on an ultrasound). The doctor recommended I stop breastfeeding, stating it must be something I am eating.
I refuse to give up breastfeeding (unless there is absolutely no other option). I believe there must be a way to continue to breastfeed without causing my son such agony. I am a 16 year (lacto-ovo) vegetarian, so when I cut out dairy, I slightly increased my intake of soy products in order to ensure I was getting in adequate protein. Could it be my son isn't lactose intolerant, but soy sensitive? Are his symptoms really due to what I'm eating? He continues to get worse (no temperature) and has been screaming in obvious pain (tender belly) for much of the past day and a half (I have had no dairy or soy today). Please help me!!!! I'm tired of being told to quit breast-feeding my son when I know it is the best thing I can do for him (more so if I could figure out what is causing him such agony), but it is killing me to see him in such agony.

Get Mike Sims-Walker now
I hope you took my advice from two weeks ago in this blog on Mike Sims-Walker. I watched him closely this past weekend, and he looked very good. He runs very good routes, so he gets open, and he comes back to the ball very well. Most importantly, he can run – at least he can compared to their other receivers. He also has very good hands. His QB is quite solid, and there's very little otherwise at WR for the Jags. Sims-Walker looks like he should be their unquestioned #1 WR. I wanted to push him hard all year, and he was on our players to target list before missing almost all of the summer with an injury, but I've been on the bandwagon after that final preseason game, and especially now after his big Week Two
But the more I look at him in this situation, I think he could have a major breakout season. I think his upside is about 70-75 catches for 1100-1200 yards and 7-8 TDs.

Spring: the start of new life
April 19, 2012 —
Spring is the time of year when all aspects of nature seem to come alive; buds and sprouts are appearing on bushes, trees, and out of the ground, and bears make their appearance after wintering in their dens. Birds are heard in the forests and fields chirping and trilling away; many of these calls heard are breeding and territorial defense calls.
In this region, large birds start nesting first; some of the local eagle pairs started incubating eggs during the latter part of February. Larger waterfowl, such as Canada geese, are close behind. By the time you read this, the flute-like melody of the wood thrush, and a myriad of sounds of other breeding birds, will be evident in varied habitats across the region.

- Glutaurate-Aspartate Transport Defect
General Discussion
Glutaricaciduria I (GA-I) is a rare hereditary metabolic disorder, caused by a deficiency of the enzyme glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase. One of a group of disorders known as "organic acidemias," it is characterized by an enlarged head (macrocephaly), decreased muscle tone (hypotonia), vomiting, and excess acid in the blood. Affected individuals may also have involuntary movements of the trunk and limbs (dystonia or athetosis) and mental retardation may also occur.
Babies with glutaricaciduria I are sometimes mistakenly thought by medical professionals to be abused babies because they present with subdural and/or retinal hemorrhages.

- Sivakugan, Nagaratnam; Arulrajah, Arul; Bo, Myint Win
- Abstract
- Testing rocks and aggregates are rarely covered in soil testing books and there are no separate books on rock or aggregate testing. Laboratory Testing of Soils, Rocks and Aggregates includes laboratory testing methods for most tests for soils as well as rocks and aggregates, which are becoming increasingly common in professional practice and university teaching. Part A gives a general overview of laboratory measurements, equipment, units, safety and standards. Part B covers soil tests from grain size distribution to consolidation, triaxial and direct shear tests. Part C covers rock tests, which includes the indirect tensile strength test and point load test. Part D covers the common tests carried out routinely on aggregates, which includes the aggregate impact value test and Los Angeles abrasion test. Each test consists of the following descriptive parts: Objective, Standards, Introduction, Procedure, and Cost. References are made to ASTM International (ASTM), Australian (AS), British (BS) and International Society of Rock Mechanics (ISRM) standards and any differences are noted.

Jack rested his head on the steering wheel, his shit seemingly together. "Bucholz, I have been editing comedy writers for most of my adult life. I cannot be freaked out anymore."
"That's good."
"No. No, it's not. Think about how sad that actually is. I am basically dead on the inside."
"That's fantastic," I said. "Congratulations," I added, clapping my hands together twice. Moving on from our celebration, I continued, "Look. The reason I'm here, stepping into your car in the middle of traffic, asking for money, is ..."
"... the reason is, I'm undercover and can't be seen near the office."
Slowly Jack raised his head off the steering wheel, then brought it down again, quite violently really, onto the horn.
"Honk," went the horn.
"Why?" Jack finally said. "For what? What possible reason could you need to go undercover? Why even you? How on earth do you think you're qualified for undercover work?"
"I am the least recognizable person in existence," I pointed out. "Do you have any idea what I look like?"
Jack raised his head and looked right through me. "Now that you mention it, no."
"Which is why I'm the only one capable of busting up this cyberbullying ring I've found."
"Cyberbullying," Jack repeated.
"That's right. This has been in the news a lot lately, but none of that mattered until this weekend, when it happened to me, at which point, interestingly, it became an important issue the world needs to immediately address." Seeing Jack start to lose disinterest, I moved in for the kill. "I was on the Xbox, just ruining people's day, when some chunky, misshapen turd of a human suggested that I was gay."
"And? And? OK, two things. One, I'm not gay. I am powerfully, and, reportedly, sometimes even uncomfortably heterosexual. And two, calling someone gay isn't an insult!"
Jack nodded glumly. "And so you're going to go undercover in a middle school to try and track down the 12-year-old who did this to you. And you need $40 to change your hair to look like Justin Bieber's first."
"Do you know me that well?"
"Did I mention the bit about how I'm dead inside?"
3Children: Incredibly Easy to Fool
"So we have a new student in our class today," Ms. Phillips said from the front of the room. "I'd like everyone to say hello to ... Justin."
"LOL guys. Thanks," I said, standing at the front of the room, shaking my head to allow my new haircut to gloriously spill over my face. It turns out you can't get a Justin Bieber for anything less than $200, so I ended up going to Supercuts and asked for a backward Meg Ryan.
Getty It only cost $8, so I got it done twice.
Thanks to several laws I'd broken, I had found out where my cyberbully attended school, and with the help of an underfunded administration in desperate need of two cartons of Marlboros, I was able to enroll myself in the seventh grade of Alan Thicke Middle School. With my naturally fresh-faced face, combined with the youthful effervescence with which I conduct all my business, I was pretty confident I'd be able to remain undetected among 12-year-olds for long enough to complete my mission -- although I was also trusting that the children's natural stupidity would help cloak my true age.
"Thank you, Justin, take a seat beside Andy there," said Ms. Phillips, who had a no-nonsense approach to classroom management that I kind of dug. I resisted the urge to blow my cover with a very adult wink. I sat down beside my new desk mate, Andy, who looked like he knew something about getting bullied himself.
"Respect," I wanted to, but didn't, say to him. "It gets better, Andy, hold those sloped shoulders high," I also didn't say. "Jesus, is your chest fucking hollow?" also failed to pass my lips. My cover story was that I had just transferred to this school because my parents wanted to ruin my life, which is exactly the kind of whiny, self-important bullshit that 12-year-olds are always saying.
Once embedded in enemy territory, I would begin surveying my classmates to find the kids in this school who think they're such hot shit at Battlefield 3, and then play the rest by ear. I deliberately wasn't planning what I was going to do after that so the police couldn't say anything was premeditated, a little trick I learned from someone on a forum who said he was a lawyer.
Getty "Post-meditated violence? Sounds legit."
The other option was to track down bullies directly, and I was presented a golden opportunity to do that moments later.
"Does anyone know the answer to this one?" Ms. Phillips asked, pointing at a math problem on the board.
"Five-eighths," I said, because the answer was five-eighths. "Or 0.625," I added. If I recalled anything from middle school, other than that DuckTales was frickin' awesome, it was that math excellence was not a very cool skill to possess. Thrusting my massive brain about the room would surely draw out the local bullies, meaning I wouldn't have to employ my backup plan: wandering the halls with the waistband of my underpants dangerously exposed.
"Very good!" Ms. Phillips said.
"Thanks," I said. "You did pretty good yourself. Setting that one up, I mean."
"Neeeeeeeeeeerd," a spiteful, shit-eating voice chimed in from the back of the room.
"Be quiet, Tyson," Ms. Phillips said. I turned around to examine my taunter. An ugly, stupid-looking kid directed an ugly, stupid-looking smirk back in my direction. Wearing some kind of ugly, stupid-looking mixed martial arts shirt covered in ugly, stupid-looking crap, he looked exactly like I'd imagined, except somehow, improbably, uglier and stupider. I smiled inside, already struggling not to premeditate.
2They Also Attack in Packs
"So this Tyson kid, he's a real dillbag, hey?" I asked Andy while sitting in the lunchroom, working on the third of four Lunchables I had brought for lunch.
This wasn't an undercover thing. It's what I eat every day, ever since my doctor said I needed to eat more extruded things.
"I guess," Andy said. Because I hadn't whaled on him like a kettle drum within seconds of meeting him, he had apparently assumed I wanted to be his friend, and had sat beside me in the lunchroom. He reminded me a lot of myself at that age, aside from the fact that I didn't hang out with 32-year-old men in disguise. Unless I did. Shit, I'd be the last to know, wouldn't I? I shook myself out of my disturbing reverie.
"He probably plays tons of video games, too, I bet," I said, looking at Tyson across the lunchroom with his ugly, stupid-looking friends. "Just dilling it up all the time, like some kind of ... dillsmith," I said, grasping. I honestly have no idea what the current standard for insults are among 12-year-olds. Probably something Pokemon-related.
"Maybe," Andy said. "I dunno. I try to stay away from him." Of course you do, Andy.
Well, no time like the present. "Let's change that," I said. "Hey, Tyson, you beautiful son of a bitch!" I shouted across the cafeteria. "Come over here and pick on me." All eyes were on me as I tried to look mousy and scared.
Tyson grinned his ugly, stupid-looking grin and walked across the room. "What's up, math nerd?" he asked.
"Depends on the context. 'Up' is usually an adverb or a preposition relating to a higher position, but it can also be a noun or even a verb," I said, chummily. "What? Couldn't your parents afford to send you to dictionary camp?" A slam which, as designed, resulted in stunned silence, as everyone present considered what the fuck my deal was.
"What the fuck's your deal?" Tyson asked, incapable of thinking something and not saying it.
I slapped the table. "I'll tell you my deal, Tyson. You like video games, right?"
Tyson squinted at me, immediately suspicious. "What? I guess."
"Yeah? I'm looking for someone who likes video games. I'm looking for someone who sucks real bad at video games. That you?" I asked.
Tyson laughed, a stupid, ugly bark of a laugh. "I bet you're the one who sucks at video games," Tyson suggested, his lips spreading into a cruel smile. "Fag," he added, dropping the nuclear weapon of 12-year-old conversations. This was him. I had my man. My ugly, stupid-looking pre-man.
I waited for the mushroom crowd of "Oooooooohs" that rolled over the gathered crowd to settle. "You see, Tyson, that's where you're wrong; I don't suck. I'm supercool. And I'm not gay."
Tyson sneered, not intimidated at all by my accurate claim of supercoolness. "I bet you've never even kissed a girl!"
I sighed. "I've kissed tons of girls. And I mean a large number of fairly regular-sized ones, not a small number of the larger type."
"Although that has happened, too."
Tyson shook his head, trying to shake away the confusion caused by my use of polysyllabic words. "You liar," he parried. "You haven't kissed anyone!" A number of similar accusations echoed up from Tyson's crew of less ugly, less stupid-looking associates. "I dare you to kiss a girl right now!"
Another chorus of "Ooooohs" from the mob.
"Oh, I could," I said, bluffing like mad. "But I don't even like any of the girls who go to school here. The girls here are trashy," I suggested.
"Chicken!" Tyson shouted. "I dare you to kiss Rebecca!" He pointed at one of the girls in his posse, who, in all fairness, looked pretty trashy.
"Screw you, Tyson," she shrieked, though she didn't make any effort to run away, and in fact she looked like she was enjoying the attention.
"I really, really can't do that," I said, meaning it.
"He's gay!" Tyson shouted, his proof seemingly airtight. I was trapped. The reason this child-kissing situation was a problem -- the part about kissing children, specifically -- was obvious to me, knowing my actual age. I was living the nightmare of every undercover cop; imagine Training Day if it had balls.
But although I had somehow been outflanked by a 12-year-old moron, at least I no longer needed to maintain my cover: I'd found my bully. I ran my fingers through my hair, reforming it into the Zack Morris wave I normally wore, and swelled up my chest, adopting the posture of a grownup, someone who'd forgotten more about Ninja Turtles than these children had ever learned.
"You got me," I said.
"We got you what, fag?" Tyson asked.
"What? You got me. I'm not a student here." I shook my head, confused, then reformed my hair wave again. "How old do you think I am?" I asked.
"I don't know. Like 4?"
"He's a baby!" one of Tyson's wingmen shouted.
"Like -4 then," Tyson offered.
"Look," I said. "I'm 32 years old. I can't kiss Rebecca because I'm 32 years old. It's illegal and ... and that's a really good law."
"What a liar! You're not 32!"
"No, it's true!" I protested. "I'm a grownup here to hunt you down for saying awful things to me on Battlefield 3, and yes I know that doesn't make me sound like a grownup! Shut up!"
"You're not an adult!" Tyson said, ignoring my command. Also, I couldn't tell if he was speaking figuratively or literally. "You look like you're 11!" he added. Literally, it seemed. My shoulders sagged. "And I don't even play Battlefield 3. Battlefield 3 is for fags."
"BATTLEFIELD 3 IS FOR EVERYONE REGARDLESS OF SEXUAL ORIENTATION!" I bellowed, alarmed at the unusually high pitch of my voice. I actually kind of sounded like I was 11.
"Whatever, baby fag," Tyson said, walking away. Furious, I whipped my last Lunchables at him, missing, hitting Rebecca in the back of the head, forever ending whatever chances I might have had with her, and marking only the second time in my life I've ended a relationship with a Lunchables.

The Luis Castillo era is now over. Ruben Amaro Jr. said moments ago to the media that the team has released the second baseman and they will move forward with what they currently have on the roster.
Castillo was 6-for-22 with the Phillies in seven games this spring, giving him a .273 average. He knocked in one run, stole one base, walked four times, and struck out twice. Castillo's OBP was .385.
Hard to say what Castillo would have had to do to make the squad coming out of the exhibition season. His numbers were decent over a small sample, but perhaps the Phillies had it in their minds that he would not stick in Philly unless he really wowed them. With Castillo being shown the door, it's now down to Pete Orr, Michael Martinez, and Delwyn Young, along with darkhorse Michael Stutes, for two roster spots.
UPDATE, 1:29 pm: According to Charlie Manuel, Rule 5 pick Michael Martinez has made the team. Manuel says, according to David Hale of the Wilmington News Journal, Martinez will "get to play a bit."
UPDATE, 3:43 pm: Jim Salisbury of CSNPhilly.com joined Mike Gill and the Sports Bash on 97.3 ESPN FM in South Jersey today. The scribe talked about a number of Phillies related issues including the release of Castillo and what the roster may look like. Take a listen to Salisbury's interview with Mike Gill.

Wow . . .I haven't seen any of the games he played, or got any indication of what type of defense he was playing, but I fully expected him to make the roster
and I wondered if yesterday's lineup of: Vic, Castillo, Rollins, Howard, Raul, Fran, … was some type of indication that they were leaning towards keeping him
I'm shocked.. what's the lineup now, and does Valdez play everyday at 2b … I guess batting 8th?
Rollins, Polanco, Raul, Howard, Victorino/Francisco, Francisco/Victorino, Choochster, Valdez…
Not bad. But Castillo could've added so much more flexibility to Charlie with his lineup. Oh well…
thank you jeebus
I guess offense isn't a concern of Ruben's because he just swapped a guy capable of hitting singles like they're going out of style for a guy who grounded into 20 double plays last year. Wilson Valdez is a great replacement fielder, but he's still Wilson Valdez when he steps up to the plate: A guy with almost no speed and even less power.
Happy with the move the Phillies made in releasing Castillo!!
I was rooting for Martinez. His + defenense in most positions and his small ball and speed caugt my eye. I like Orr a lot also for the same reasons but I think Martinez is ready. No offence to Castillo, the only thing I know about him (Mets) I didn't like so riddence and good luck. What I would like to see but I really doubt Charlie would do is put the gold glove second baseman back at second and give his arm a break. Then put Valdez and his rocket launcher of an arm at 3rd. Go Phillies!
Why did they release him!?
Castillo is a guy you could bat 2nd if Polanco is down (will probably happen)… can still run and is pretty damn fast, takes a ton of pitches, can bunt (I've seen several of his at bats with the Phillies and he hasn't disappointed me at all)… I think some announcers mentioned this and it's very true: This team is a free swinging bunch… the only two guys who take a lot of pitches are Utley (down) and Werth (Natinal). Castillo would've helped a lot in that regard. Overall, I think he's a better offensive weapon than Valdez… Although clearly Valdez is superior defensively, even at 2B. Still…
Label me SHOCKED.
Why? Because he actually could be a leadoff hitter? Guess Amaro wants a lineup of quick outs.
but how is Martinez going to do going from playing everyday this spring… to batting once a week in the majors?? I trust they know what they're doing, but i was shocked
I'm shocked as well. Amaro was asked what Castillo could have done to make the team and he said, "I'm not going to get into that." Could they know something we don't?
I am surprised, but will have to trust the Phillies brain trust on this. I am sure they had some solid reasons for keeping Martinez and releasing Castillo. I cannot help but think that Martinez' ability to play all over the field had some weight in the decision.
There's gotta be something more to this story…
Polly's throwing arm isn't the one bothering him . . . and he would actually be involved in WAY MORE PLAYS at 2b than at 3b .. leave him there unless you NEED to make a move
I bet Castillo slept with Utley and Hartnell's wives
I was concerned that Castillo might make the team. Ruben knows what he's doing by releasing him. Glad to see that Martinez has made the team. It would have been tough to give him back to the Nationals.
I really think that his being late to camp didn't help his cause.. Say what you want, but I think that after that he DID have to really wow them. They were pissed, rightfully so, but gave him a legitimate shot nontheless which was the right thing to do. And, who knows, he could have wowed them and then they would have almost HAD to have picked him.
I like this kid Martinez but agree that going from playing a lot to playing once in awhile will be interesting.
his being late had nothing to do with anything . . . if he was the best player, they would have kept him
I agree. But he didn't exactly make himself out to be the most popular guy right from the start. I think he did "OK" in his little audition….but not good enough ….and his initial impression COULD have set him back. I know you don't agree…and that's cool.
I hope Stutes and Orr make the club. I like Stutes a lot, and like what I hear about Orr's professionalism. I like Delwyn and Barfield too. All of them may be needed to play this year at some point anyway.
IMO- Castillo simply didn't outplay the guys we already had.
I saw stutes pitch in lakewood a few years back. They made this big tado about him. I didn't think he pitched all that well. He was a starter then. What I have seen of him so far this spring has REALLY impressed me. If Baez has another off year we may see him sooner than later.
Oops didn't mean to forget Martinez! Just realized that Charlie's statement came after the fact and their would only be one spot left.
Surprised, and a little disappointed (at least on the bat side). I know Rube and co isn't perfect, but I also think they know something that they aren't saying. Purely speculation, but I wonder if it has to do with whether Castillo would spend some time down in LV if needed (although eh signed a minor league deal, so not sure that is it).
I really prefer Valdez in a utility role, and hope that between Martinez, Young, Barfield, and Orr, one will pan out to be a good defender, decent offensively.
All you people saying that he should have made the team cause he can hit singles, and run, which he can not really do anymore. Plus his defense was bad this spring mentally and physiclay.
sorry hit the wrong button, I was saying he had some glaring mental lapses in a few games down there, and some bad physical errors as well. I say good to see him go. With this starting rotation, you have to put the best defensive team behind them and scratch out 3-4 runs offensively. Doc, Cliff, Roy, and Cole are all control pitch to contact guys, and the more faith they have with the D behind them the better they will pitch. Hope they play Friday night suppose to rain, any chance they would play 2 on Saturday or Sunday to make it up right away, or would they play on Monday? It would suck if it got rained out. Oh well only 2 days til the opening (hopefully) It is almost here
I'm not thrilled with the Martinez move, as he's getting the full Rule-5 treatment. Even if he hits .200 and has a bunch of errors he'll be on the team all year, just so they don't lose him. I'm not a Castillo fan, but he would have given the Phils more flexibility in the lineup and you know what you're getting with him. I would have kept him around until Utley's return. The offense as-is terrifies me. The only consistent hitter in the lineup is Polanco (you know he'll hit at least .290) and even he's a question mark at this point with his lingering injury. You don't know which Rollins you'll get, ditto with Howard, Ibanez, Victorino and Francisco. Chooch can't be expected to hit .300 again. Color me worried.
I agree that Castillo messed up by being late and blaming it on miscommunication with his agent. I thought that was lame. If I wanted to make the team, I would have been in Clearwater the next morning!
Oh by the way, my picture is with Punxsutawney Phil.
Here it is:
Not the best lineup. But its Charlie's lineup.
The Dipsy
I would do:
Here's the way it's going to be- like it or not. I like it.
"Manuel said the Phillies likely would start the season with the batting order they used Wednesday.
To wit:
Shane Victorino RF, Placido Polanco 3B, Jimmy Rollins SS, Ryan Howard 1B, Raul Ibanez LF, Ben Francisco RF, Carlos Ruiz C, Wilson Valdez 2B."
Charlie seemed to be praising Martinez and his defensive abilities quite a bit and was probably showing how he was leaning. Until Chase gets back, I think they are better off taking the stronger defense of Valdez and Martinez and hope the offensive output holds up.
Pitching and defense wins championships.
Congrats to Pete Orr, whose hustle and versatility won him a spot on the opening-day 25. I hope he has a great experience with much success. He does bring some valuable experience to his new team, as well.
I'm glad Castillo is gone. Martinez has that "bounce", he seems to be a quality infielder that can also switch-hit,(natural right handed) he'll be a good fit. Castillo isn't anywhere for good reason. I think he was brought in for competition and comparison. I don't think he was really being considered too seriously. Perhaps to see if he had any "gas in the tank", for later in the year perhaps.
Since it seems the Phillies' infield wasn't so healthy last year…. right Mr. Valdez? hehe
Valdez deserves more credit and money than he has gotten. Without his glove and timely hits, the Phillies would have been struggling to make the playoffs
I am NOT surprised that the Phillies waved bye-bye to Castillo. I knew it was coming from what I seen and read of Castillo's problems with his former team, the Mets. Amaro and Manuel are going with younger players who are skilled in defense (Orr and Martinez). The Phillies know, at least in the early going, they are relying on pitching and defense. With key injuries to Utley and Brown and with Polanco hurting (elbow), offense may struggle and I think there will be greater emphasis on smallball. Since runs may be a premium, there can be no slack on defense (and Castillo can hurt the team here if he had stayed) to support stellar pitching.
Nor am I really surprised. If Jimmy is batting 3, I like that. @Chuck – Ibanez batting third? I am curious as to your reasoning.
The Dipsy
He seemed to excell at #3 a lot last year. But I'm ok with Jimmy 3 and Raul 5, too.
Jimmy should NOT be batting 3rd as a lefty (against righties). He was downright terrible batting as a lefty last year!
RAUL should be in the 3rd spot against righties. His average, power numbers, OBP (everything basically) against righties CRUSHES what J-roll can do. Add to that RAUL's monster numbers when he's batting 3rd, and it's a no-brainer.
Agree fully – Jimmy hasn't been a good left handed hitter in a while – 286 in 2007, downhill ever since (although not really enough abs in 2010, but the trend is pretty clear: 08- 272, 09-257, 10 – 219). I expect him to improve a bit in 11, maybe back up to 265-270 form the left, but certainly not a #3. I'd prefer him and Raul flip depending on the pitcher, but Charlie likes to set it and forget it. I also think Ben Fran should be #5, just for the split, rotate Raul and Jimmy between 3 and 6.
I am so ready for the season to start. I have been reading reports that Chase will be back sooner than later, which I am excited about.
If you are going to be at the stadium this weekend, be sure to stop by and order your Portapong Table.
Is that the same as a Porta Potty?
they are $30 folding tables . . . but since they drilled holes in them, you can't use them for anything besides beer pong.
I usually bring a plastic folding table, you can fit both sides of cups on the table and just stand farther back when you shoot … and you can use the table for other things when you're done

Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS)
We went the other way and decommissioned a LIMS by another vendor and chose Promium's Element. We're very happy with Element, and it has vastly increased productivity in our wastewater lab. Particular good points: very low initial cost for high value; excellent installation experience; excellent tech support.
Element's "data tool" app is so good, we switched and put on the shelf a very expensive stand-alone product ($30K!!).
Chuck Lytle,
City of Portland, OR
We use Element by Promium but I plan to switch in the next couple of years. I do think the product is good for a small lab but maybe not for a medium lab. My lab has just outgrown what Promium can provide. Their documentation - especially on LIMS administrative tasks - is extrenely poor. Their support use to be great but now is almost non-existant. Plus there are no user group meetings and interaction between Promium users is almost non-existant on either their website or their Linked In discussion forum.
They have a product called Client Connect which is included free with Element. This is a huge plus. The program allows a lab's client to log-in over the web and see their data and download reports. However, the documentation is very poor. We spent several weeks trying to implement it but continually ran into issues. We even had their guru on the phone with us and our web site consultant to no avail. The guru tried to reinstall the product several times with no success. We finally got the product developer on a conference call and discovered that the instructions for installing the product and setting up security were wrong. Very frustrating!
We are now dealing with an issue where we subcontract out some analysis to a nationally known laboratory that does not have Element LIMS. Element will not accept the generic EDD format used by most commercial LIMS. Thus our contract lab has been trying to work with Promium to develop an EDD format that Element will accept and the folks at Promium keep missing the deadlines.
Again- I think Promium is a good product for a small inhouse LIMS that doesn't have to generate many reports, interface with other programs such as Linko or need to import EDDs. It is very cost effective. Hoever if you are a lab with more than 5 to 10 analysts with multiple customers and need some advanced features such as interfacing with other programs, tracking of complaints or tracking of training- I would look elsewhere.
We are a small WW plant lab doing simple stuff such as BOD and SS. The rest is done by contract labs. The lab bought HACH WIMMs more than a year ago but did not implement using it.
Does anyone have experience with WIMMs in a small lab enviroment? Especially using worksheets to calculate results and the importing of EDDs from contract labs?

Kind of funny that Jeff has Leonardo on his car because of his son Leo and also Leonardo is the oldest of the turtles and he's on the AARP car...
The characteristic's of Raphael are an aggressive nature, alternately fierce and sarcastic and oftentimes delivers deadpan humor. Yes, Tony has those qualities too, and Ryan has kind of lightened up in the last year or so, but I think Raph fits on Ryan's car.
I just thought it was interesting and nice to have something non-controversial to post.

Presidential speeches can be memorable for many reasons: they can capture the nation's mood after a tragedy; they can issue warning; they can be a call to action. This September 11th is the 11th anniversary of the World Trade Center attacks. Listen to Bush's famous 9/11 speech, as well as many others and see how many lines you recognize from these famous presidential speeches.

text: Can anyone offer advice on the best way to night wean my 12-month-old? I'm not ready to wean her completely, but I am ready for a decent nights sleep. She still wakes up several times a night to nurse. And I've been ok with that (she has refused the bottle since she was born and I work two days a week out of the house, so she just doesn't get BM when I am gone...therefore, I felt like it was impt for her to get the extra calories/nutrition overnight). But it's time for her to start eating more solid food and for her to give mommy a break at night. But if somone else tries to soothe her or I refuse to nurse her, it's terrible. She cries and screams, etc. She has quite a temper! I'll try anything....help!

The ECH log was a log kept by The Doctor on the USS Voyager while he was an Emergency Command Hologram and was in command of Voyager. The log was a counterpart to a Captain's log and took the place of the Voyager's captain's log while he was in command. (VOY: "Workforce, Part II")
Entries Edit
2377 Edit
There were at least two log entries made into the ECH log:
- "ECH log, Stardate 54622.4. I've found an ingenious place to hide while we make repairs – a moon with a paramagnetic core that masks our energy signature. I've turned my attention to Lieutenant Torres, whose treatment will also require ingenuity."
- "ECH log, supplemental. All the crew have been transported back to Voyager, and thanks to my experience with Lieutenant Torres, their treatment is proceeding rapidly. While they're recovering, I still have a few command duties left to perform."
