ok, i've gotten further data on hallucinating the "x" phenomenon. i hope some
of you are still interested; my dreams are telling me that if i keep digging for
data (in a playful manner) i will eventually find a "message in a bottle" that
will dwarf me in size, a glass structure filled with many corridors through
which to traverse.
i woke up this morning on the wrong side of the bed, so to speak, and i felt a
little agitated. since today is sunday, that means it's the second day of the
weekend and i have already had all saturday to recuperate from the work week and
return to my truer vibration through solitude. i decided to do one of my will
activation maneuvers (castenada-style shifting of the assemblage point) by going
deep into myself, activating my will, and shift my state of mind to a more
focused and metaphysically powerful one. this does not work all the time; this
morning it did but the interesting thing is the following: i suddenly
hallucinated the "x" right after i succeeded willing a shift in my state of
mind, but instead of being below the mid-section of the cross like usual, i was
looking at the "x" from the top side, which means that i had crossed through the
portal already.
so, now let's look at card #6 from the archetypes, called the "transformation of
the mind". the card shows a man in the middle with his hands positioned so that
they form an "x". there are three people in this card, just as there were three
men in suits in my dream of the shrinking man. in session #100, ra says: "it is
to be noted that the triangular shape formed by the shoulders and crossed elbows
of consciousness is a shape to be associated with transformation." and speaking
of the two polarized ways of using the deep mind in a positive or negative
fashion: "in order for the transformation of mind to occur, one principle
governing the use of the deep mind must be abandoned." this basically means
those who have sto-polarized must abandon the negative use of mind altogether.
skipping to card #7, we have "the great way of the mind". in session #103, the
questioner asks: "there is a t with two right angles above it on the chest of
the entity on card seven. we have guessed that the lower t has to do with the
possibility of choosing either path in the transformation and the upper two
angles represent the great way of the left and the right-hand paths in the
mental transformation that makes the change from space/time into time/space, you
might say. this is difficult to express. is anything correct in this?"
ra replies: "the use of the tau and the architectãâãâãâãâãâãâãâãâãâãâã âãâãâãâãâãâãâãâãâãâãâãâãâ ãâãâãâãâãâãâãâãâãâ¢s square is indeed intended to
suggest the proximity of the space/time of the great wayãâãâãâãâãâãâãâãâãâãâãâãâ ãâãâãâãâãâãâãâãâãâãâãâãâã âãâãâãâãâãâãâãâ¢s environment to
my visions of the "x" have indicated that being in the lower mid-section means
that one is still dealing with polarity. the above remarks suggest that seeing
myself in the upper half of the "x" means that i have become seated in
time/space. when i activated my will this morning to shift my state of mind, i
had to reach time/space in order to do so. how does one reach time/space?
through abandoning the negative path for those who are already sto-polarized,
and vice versa for sts individuals.
shifting one's state of mind is a magical way of using the will. the conscious
will normally does not reach that layer. and my thought is that it is done
through "the transdimensional aspect of what you call will" as ra describes will
when discussing the act of healing in session #66.
moving further along, the general theory then is that situating the mind in
time/space is what triggers "magical" phenomena. let us take this quote about
the precognition ability during dreaming from session #86: "...dreaming takes on
another activity. this is what may loosely be termed precognition or a knowing
which is prior to that which shall occur in physical manifestation in your
yellow-ray third-density space/time. this property of the mind depends upon its
placement, to a great extent, in time/space so that the terms of present and
future and past have no meaning."

My name is Virginia Kennedy. I am a 50-year old mother of three. I was one of 65 citizens arrested in front of your house—my house really, the country's house—the White House, on the first day of the tar sands action on August 20, and I was kept in jail for the weekend.
We spent the weekend in jail because we asked you to reject the Keystone XL Pipeline. To reject tar sands oil, the extraction of which is destroying indigenous people's lands and lives and decimating boreal forest lands. The oil which if extracted and burned will mean, in the words of NASA climate scientist James Hansen, "game over for the climate." That's game over for my children, for your children, for everyone's children.
I was in a holding cell with 12 other women who participated in the action. Most were not perennial activists. Many had never participated in such an action before. These women, from ages 20 to 70, were retired schoolteachers, grandmothers, college students, working women supporting themselves or families.
Each had decided that this is the issue of issues, because we are talking about the viability of human life on the planet we are irreversibly harming. They decided to join with the other voices, trying to make you listen and to give you courage to take this step, to take this stand against the fossil fuel industry—the moneyed interests that regularly demand you yield to them.
We were in a holding cell for the majority of the time. A freezing cement cellblock with no windows and one solid metal door, no way to see out. No blankets. Nowhere to lie down. An open toilet in the corner. Glaring fluorescent lights that never dimmed. We were kept without food or water for 18 hours, then given a cold cheese sandwich and water.
I want you to know I thought about you a lot during those long hours. I wondered about the power you have or maybe don't have. Maybe it has just gotten impossible for any politician to stand up to the brutal, greedy bullying of the fossil fuel companies. Or maybe you don't want to.
I wondered how I could be in a jail cell with women who were guilty of nothing but trying to get their President to listen to reason. Women who stood peacefully with a whole group of citizens who said we want clean energy and an end to oppression by a fossil-fuel industry that wants the world to believe we have no choices but the choices they want to give us.
I wondered if you knew about Tim deChristopher, the young man in jail for two years for posing as a bidder to save public lands from being auctioned to mining companies. The auction itself was found to be illegal. No consequences for that, though. I wondered if you ever think about the 11 dead men killed in the BP Horizon disaster, the 29 coal miners dead at the Massey coal mine, the reports of negligence, the environmental decimation, all the lives and livelihoods destroyed. Not one indictment. No repercussions really at all.
And then there is us, tax-paying, law-abiding folks freezing in a filthy jail cell for standing politely in front of the White House and asking for clean energy. For asking you to do the right thing. For trying to give you the courage to do the right thing for your daughters and for ours.
I thought about you together with your family in Martha's Vineyard while we were body searched, shackled, and paraded, ankles chained, into a federal prison cell to await our time in front of a judge while our families worried about where we were and what was happening to us. I wondered how you'd feel if Malea or Sasha ended up in such a situation for such an "offense," what that would inspire you to do.
I wondered if you ever spent any time in the DC prison right in your front yard, filled with mainly African Americans of every age, many of whom are guilty of nothing much more than being caught in the terrible cycle of poverty and defenselessness generated by a system that would jail them instead of supporting their rights, education or humanity. A system that would incarcerate a poor woman for being drunk on the street and reward a CEO ultimately responsible for the deaths of his own workers with more profits.
I wondered who you are, Mr. Obama, what your values are. Because I can't really tell. I hold out hope you'll send a signal and reject this pipeline because I have to hold out hope. But, contrary to that famous slogan of yours, since you came on the scene, there hasn't been too much change, and you do not make hoping easy.
[Virginia Kennedy is a resident of Dingmans Ferry, PA.]

A day of debate between lawmakers ended with House representatives voting to advance the same-sex marriage bill.
All Wednesday, outside the House chamber the chants of "let the people vote" were deafening. Those gathered called for lawmakers to allow voters to decide the issue of same-sex marriage at the ballot box.
Click here to watch Paul Drewes' report.
Inside the House chamber, the chants periodically overpowered representatives as they debated amendments on the House floor. Some lawmakers also echoed the same sentiments as they gave their speeches.
"Why are you not listening to them? They want a constitutional amendment, we have before us an amendment calling for a constitutional amendment," said Rep. Bob McDermott.
While one group has been the most vocal during this debate, those residents are not the only ones getting their message out. Even many who did not give testimony at the State Capitol made their views known to their representative.
"It is not just about people who show up at the Capitol. Those who are in the gallery or gathered in the Capitol Rotunda, many more could not make it here to testify," said Rep. Cindy Evans.
When it came time to vote a pair of amendments, which would have taken this issue to voters, was defeated.
After that, lawmakers turned their attention to whether students, teachers and families would be able to opt-out of sex education in the schools if the curriculum disagreed with their personal beliefs.
"We need to protect our children. Mother after mother said, 'I don't want our kids to learn how homosexuals make love to each other,'" said Rep. Gene Ward.
"If you go to a school and say, 'I don't want my child exposed to the homosexual lifestyle'. They don't teach the homosexual lifestyle in our schools, so there is nothing to opt-out from," stated Rep. Roy Takumi.
The amendment failed along with others which would have given other exemptions for religious organizations. Just before seven in the evening, the debate zeroed in on the same-sex marriage bill that was passed out of committee with amendments.
"This is probably the toughest vote of our careers but we were elected to do the job.
The time for delay has come and gone. Justice delayed is justice denied," said Rep. Della Au Belatti.
Now that they House version of the Senate Bill passed its second reading it will be heard by the full House again on Friday.

Year-End Wrap-Up: The 10 Best Novels Of 2011
By Maureen Corrigan • Dec 14, 2011
This was a terrific year for fiction and a particularly strong year for first-time novelists. Some of the literary debutantes who glide through this "10 best" list are so young, their wisdom teeth probably haven't had time to become impacted yet. Majestically bringing up the rear of the procession are some much-decorated veterans whose sustained achievements in fiction should ensure that the young 'uns don't rest too comfortably on their laurels.

I've been saying Lee was a good fit with Lebron for a little while now, this just re-affirms my belief.
Along with that, notice that with the probable exception of Dirk, and maybe Amare, the other three will be free agents as well and we can sign any one of them. Finally something from ESPN that actually gives us hope.

"Let us then not be ashamed to confess the Crucified. Be the cross our seal, made with boldness by our fingers on our brow and in everything; over the bread we eat and the cups we drink, in our comings and in goings out; before our sleep, when we lie down and when we awake; when we are travelling, and when we are at rest."
~ St. Cyril of Jerusalem in his "Catecheses" (xiii, 36), on the sign of the cross, a practice familiar to Christians in the second century and which had passed into a gesture of benediction by the fourth century, as many quotations from the Fathers show

All In A Day's Fun
First off, quick recap of yesterday's game against the Cubs: Kevin Correia gave up four runs on eight hits in 4.2 innings. Kyle Blanks hit a two-run homer. As you can see, the pitching did pretty well. The attendance of the game was 13, 162. That sets a new Spring Training record! Well, that's enough of that game.
This morning I got up at six to go watch my brother's 8:30am game. It stayed overcast almost the entire morning, which was really nice. I just had to share this picture with you guys. Of the four fields in the park, only the one we were playing on had this:
I thought that was really cool!
The game went really well. I kept score again, and though I felt kind of discombulated at places, I got through it and got the final score right! The Pirates got three runs in the bottom of the first to set the tone of the game. They got four more in the third. The Rays (who were the best team in the league), scored seven runs over the course of the third, fourth, and fifth innings, but the Pirates scored two in the bottom of the fourth and won the game, 9-7.
Looking back, it was a really crazy game. The Rays were pretty good, but we sure beat them up. They gave us nine walks in five innings! It was a wild game, but the Pirates were able to hand the Rays their first loss of the season. My brother did well. He hit a ball into fair territory for the first time, though he hit it to the pitcher. He was getting a lot of good swings, and I think he's getting there. He also walked. This Pirates team is on a three-game winning streak. I might add that I started scoring the games on that first win, and I have scored the next two as well. Uh oh…I'm not going to be able to make it to their next game! Haha. Of course, me being there has absolutely no effect on the outcome of the game. I can pretend, though🙂
The next part of the day was going to my other brother's baseball game. To avoid any confusion, I have two younger brothers: one is ten, and one is seven. The games I have been talking about up to this point have all been the ten-year-old brother's games. Now here's where is gets a little confusing. Both of my brother's teams are the Pirates. But they are in separate divisions.
Now I am talking about the seven-year-old brother's game. They play against a pitching machine, and this was their second game. In the last game, the boys couldn't hit it at all. They lost 2-0. But afterwards, it was discovered that the machine was six feet closer than it was supposed to be. So this time, with the pitching machine in it's proper place, the boys did much better. They hit so well! Let's just say that the final score was about 23-7 Pirates. I wasn't scoring, so I don't know the exact score, but it was somewhere in that range. The other team's fielders weren't that great, so almost every hit was going past, under, or around a fielder. Apparently there wasn't much of a mercy rule. But I was very excited for my brother, who got two hits and scored a run. I think a lot of the boys were discouraged after the last game, so it was great to see them all go out and have a wonderful game. I really enjoyed watching it!
Now, the major-league Padres. The Padres got some horrible news yesterday: pitcher Mark Worrell is out for the year. I was listening to the game yesterday, and when Andy Masur told us the news, I just groaned. This is terrible news for the Padres. We aquired Worrell from the St. Louis Cardinals in the Khalil Greene trade along with a player to be named later. Worrell was almost guaranteed a spot in the bullpen. He did very well this spring, giving up two runs in 4.1 innings. Then he got some elbow soreness eariler in the week. He's going to undergo Tommy John surgery on Wednesday. Remember, this is the guy with the funky side-arm delivery. Apparently that weird delivery caught up to him. This is a huge blow to the Padres. Our pitching has been doing bad enough as it is, and to lose this guy now is devistating. So, Kevin Towers will continue his search for more arms, and we're definitely going to see some new pitchers in camp soon.
The third baseball game I observed today was the Padres-Giants game this afternoon. I got a lot of baseball in today! It was a pretty bad game. We had a 2-1 lead until the sixth. Then the Giants got nine runs. Walter Silva started the game, going four innings, giving up two hits and a run. I am really impressed with his guy. He can pitch, man. I think he's going to be in our rotation. He was definitely the highlight of the game. Our newly signed pitcher, Duaner Sanchez, had a solid inning. Enter Jae Kuk Ryu. How's eight runs for a day's work? And he only got one out in all that. He hasn't been the best this spring. Arturo Lopez gave up a run. Naturally, Joe Thatcher gave up two runs. WHY is he still here???
David Eckstein had a great day, getting three hits in three at-bats. Drew Macias hit his third home run of the spring. My boy Kevin Kouzmanoff had two hits and got hit-by-pitch. Yay Kouz!
Tomorrow we are playing the Diamondbacks, Josh Geer vs. Dan Haren. Let's see if this pitching can do good things for once.
After my brothers both won, I thought, "Hey, it's the Padres' turn!" They didn't get the memo, though. Oh well. Not to alarm anyone, (it's only Spring Training!!!), but the Padres haven't won since Wednesday, March 11, in the exhibition game against Team Korea. Wow, that was a long time ago. Just saying…a win would be really nice.
Jake Peavy was going to start USA's game tomorrow, but Roy Oswalt is starting instead. Roy is one of Jake's closet friends and hunting buddies, so Jake's cool with it. Did you that they got to start against each other on Opening Day last year? Jake definitely came out on top on the pitching side, and he even got a couple knocks off his buddy and drove in a few runs. What a great opening week that was. Seemed so hopeful, and look where our season went. Whew. Anyways, I am thankful that Jake isn't pitching because I don't want him to get hurt🙂
Last night I listened to the last eight minutes of the San Diego State – Kansas State basketball game. OK, the only reason I did it was because a friend was at the game, and I wanted to be informed. I don't know much about baseketball (it's too fast-paced for me), but it was really interesting to listen to. Padres broadcaster Ted Leitner called the game, so it was cool to hear him in his other job. One thing I noticed about the broadcast was the drastic change when the game is controlled by the clock. Ted didn't have time to talk about anything but what was going on in the game right then. During a Padres game, the guys have a ton of time to talk about anything and everything around calling the game. Much more relaxed in baseball. Anyway, the San Diego State Aztecs won 70-52. It was a really great game for SDSU. I didn't completely understand what was going on, but it was a very well played game. The energy coming from the crowd of 5100 was amazing!
Well, have a great rest of your weekend, everybody!

This has been a crazy year for injuries! Sorry to hear about Mark Worrell. Hopefully, he'll be back stronger than ever next year. I think Kevin Towers will do a good job filling in the holes. Let's hope for a happy and healthy year for Jake. Are you sure you can't trade Kouz to the Yankees? C'mon, he'd look so good in pinstripes! 😉
Congrats to both your brothers! Little league games are so great!
Hmm, somebody was having fun with the chalk that day! Pretty good job too! The circle is nice and round, not lopsided.
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
SCOTT, nooooooooo!!! NEVER!!!! MINE!!!!! You cannot have my boy Kouz. He's my Padre🙂
JULIA, thanks!!
SUE, yeah, that was very neat! I loved it.
Mark Worrell's injury bummed me out. I mean, entire season? We really should have kept Greenie instead. They are stuggling lately. I don't want to see that kind of performance during regular season! But as always, go Padres!!
P.S. Any word on if you can go the Fan Fest?🙂
I keep score during Cardinals games. I am such a baseball nerd. When you are doing it for real though, it helps to have a spotter to see what you miss. Sounds like you had a BIG baseball day! That's great. Glad Eckstein is doing well. I miss him with the Cards.
I hope you are talking to both brothers about the importance of leaning in on a pitch! Taking one for the team is a tried and true mannerism of the great game of baseball. : )
What a baseball filled weekend you have! It's sweet that you go to your brother's games! And interesting that they're both on the Pirates!
You must have fun going to all your brothers' games. Too bad the Padres didn't get tjhe memo. What is with all the injuries this spring?
Little League baseball is probably the most fun thing to watch, ever. It sounds like you had an amazing baseball-filled day!
Sounds like a great weekend. Thanks for all the Padres info and analysis; it's fun to read! Your enthusiasm for the Padres has me inspired to give the hapless Mariners a chance this season!
Injuries seem to be plaguing every team. I know hearing Jeff Francis would be out for the season was disappointing. It's hard to see players that were supposed to do great things for your team fall to injury.

I have several encrypted file containers. I have struggled a lot, but have not succeeded to automate the open/log-in process.
I have used default file extension (.tc) for the containers, and I have tried an uncommon extension like .sde (I prefer to use an extension not tied to any installed program.) I have tried to use the 'Define settings manually' feature without success.
Some times the file name is correctly entered into to TrueCrypt window, the 'Mount' button is pressed and the password windows appears. In the SP balloon I have to click on 'Temporarily copy pw to clipboard' and than paste the pw into the appropriate field.
In most cases TrueCrypt is opened but no file name is transferred. Sometimes the SP balloon picks the password from an incorrect TC account in SP (I have now several TC accounts). Most of the accounts have two options for 'Tie Account to': application/particular window. One of my accounts has four options, "window caption/application and caption" are the extras.
What is the meaning of 'Tie Account to'?

In our ongoing series of how cities in Michigan got their names, we've been able to share with you the history of cities from around our state. In case you missed them, here are Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7 and Part 8. This week, check out part nine, which shares the stories of how five more Michigan cities were named.
Bay City
Bay City was first known as the village of Lower Saginaw in 1838. Its name was changed to Bay City when Bay County was organized in 1857. By 1860, Lower Saginaw was becoming a bustling community of about 2,000 with several mills, and many small businesses in operation. In 1865, the village of Bay City was incorporated as a city. It was a time of rapid growth with lumbering and shipbuilding, creating many jobs.
Menominee gets its name from a regional Native American tribe known as the Menominee, which roughly translates into "Wild Rice." The area was originally the home of the Menominee Indian Tribe. They now have a reservation along the Wolf River in North Central Wisconsin. Menominee gained prominence as a lumber town. In its heyday Menominee produced more lumber than any other city in America.
The first settlers arrived in what is now the City of Pontiac in 1818. Two years later there were enough people there to form a village named after the famous Indian Chief (Chief Pontiac) who had made his headquarters in the area only a few years prior. The village was officially recognized by the state legislature in 1837 and it incorporated as a city in 1861.
The first important settler of what would become the city of Rockford was Smith Lapham. Lapham built his own sawmill on his side of the river, which was completed by 1844. Other settlers soon followed. By the fall of 1845, the settlement had about 5 houses. Since the settlement existed largely on land owned or sold by Smith Lapham, it became known as Laphamville. By 1865 the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad Company had begun a railroad extending northward through the village. The railroad had been advising the residents to adopt a shorter name, and when a newly arrived resident from Rockford, Illinois proposed the name of his former town, the new name was narrowly approved. It was replatted under the name Rockford in 1865 and incorporated as the Village of Rockford in June 1866 with 315 inhabitants.
Edward P. Vickery settled at the present day foot of Huron Boulevard in Marysville. He named the operation Vickery's Landing and the settlement surrounding it eventually became known as Vicksburg. However, there was already another Vicksburg, Michigan, so in 1859 the name was changed to Marysville, after Nelson Mill's (an entrepreneur in the area) wife Mary.

What is in this article?:
- Equipment Forum: Deere adds to product lineup for 2012
- New draper platform
- 7R Series Tractors
- Advanced engine technology
- Improved traction, longer wear
From combines to tractors to sprayers to precision farming equipment, John Deere has added numerous new products to the lineup for 2012.
More About:
MACHINE SYNC is a John Deere exclusive system that takes harvest automation to the next level and the first application that uses the Machine Communication radio hardware.
John Deere made a big splash this past fall with the introduction of several new lines of machinery.
Leading the way was the new S-Series combine line.
Available for the 2012 harvest season, the S-Series Combines include five models: S550, S660, S670, S680 and S690, which is an all-new Class 9 machine. The S-Series Combines are ideal for producers and agricultural service providers who demand a combine that provides exceptional harvest power, grain-handling performance and field productivity.
To bring even more productivity to the S-Series Combines, the cleaning system has been redesigned with a newly engineered cleaning shoe which delivers 33 percent increased capacity. The Variable Stream rotor is a new option that improves straw quality in rice and high-yielding small grains with tough, dense straw.
A new Premium Residue Management system provides more uniform material distribution; windrow straw for a baling application while spreading chaff; and a wind compensation feature added to the PowerCast tailboard.
The 400-bushel grain tank (standard on S680 and S690) is the largest factory-available tank in the industry and can unload 3.8 bushels per second.
The Active Tailings System (also standard on S680 and S690) increases threshing and separating capacity by 8 to 10 percent for improved grain and straw quality. It also has an updated Harvest Doc yield and moisture monitoring system.
The cab of the new S-Series Combines has been completely redesigned from the ground up for maximum comfort and visibility. The larger cab environment, with 30 percent more interior space, provides industry-leading visibility.
An integrated armrest display features touch-screen capability and AMS precision technology functionality. Changing gears is simple with electric push-button shift and ProDrive transmissions.
And to help make the new S-Series Combines even more productive in the field, John Deere is introducing the new 600 Series Corn Heads, including the company's first 16- and 18-row heads, which are ideally matched for use with the new combines.
The 600 Series StalkMaster heads have row-unit chopping disconnects that allow the chopping feature to be disengaged on-the-go, as well as improved header height control, which senses farther forward and on outer rows.

Articles 2
What Nature Makes One Think
Man is a being whom Allah furnishes with the faculty of thought. Yet, most people do not use this very important faculty as they should. In fact, some people almost never think.
In truth, each person possesses a capacity for thought of which even he himself is unaware. Once man begins to use this capacity, facts he has not been able to realise until that very moment begin to be uncovered for him. The deeper he goes in reflection, the more his capacity to think improves, and this is possible for everyone. One just has to realise that one needs to reflect and then to strive hard.
In the Qur'an, Allah informs us that in all circumstances the believers reflect and derive beneficial conclusions from their thinking.
In the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of night and day, there are signs for people with intelligence: those who remember Allah, standing, sitting and lying on their sides, and reflect on the creation of the heavens and the earth: "Our Lord, You have not created this for nothing. Glory be to You! So safeguard us from the punishment of the Fire." (Surat Al 'Imran: 190-191)
However, someone who does not think will remain totally distant from truths and lead his life in self-deception and error. As a result, he will not grasp the purpose of the creation of the world, and the reason for his existence on the earth. Yet, Allah has created everything with a purpose. This fact is stated in the Qur'an as follows:
We did not create the heavens and the earth and everything between them as a game. We did not create them except with truth but most of them do not know it. (Surat ad-Dukhan: 38-39)
Did you suppose that We created you for amusement and that you would not return to Us? (Surat al-Muminun: 115)
And He has made everything in the heavens and everything on the earth subservient to you. It is all from Him. There are certainly Signs in that for people who reflect.
Those who are able to see Allah's signs, the miraculous aspects of the beings and events He creates, and who, therefore, can understand, are people who reflect. Such people can derive conclusions from everything, big or small, they see around them. The Prophet Muhammad's words make this very clear:
An example to this is nature that surrounds us. He who believes in Allah praises our Lord for the beauties he sees in nature. He is aware that Allah has created all existing beauty. He knows that all these beauties belong to Allah and they are manifestations of His attribute of jamal—beauty. He takes great pleasure from all these beauties and remembers Allah knowing that "If people sit in an assembly in which they do not remember Allah or invoke blessings on the Prophet (saas), it will be a cause of grief to them on the Day of Resurrection," as Allah's Messenger (saas)says. (Tirmidhi)
And mankind and beasts and livestock are likewise of varying colours. Only those of His servants with knowledge have fear of Allah. Allah is Almighty, Ever-Forgiving. (Qur'an, 35:28)
While walking in nature, one encounters more beauty. From a single straw to the yellow daisy, from birds to ants, everything is full of details, which need reflection. As people reflect upon these, they come to understand the power and might of Allah.
Butterflies, for example, are very aesthetically pleasing creatures. With the symmetry and design of their lace-like wings—which are extremely precise as if drawn by hand—their harmonious, phosphorescent colours, butterflies are evidence of Allah's unequalled art and superior power of creation.
Similarly, innumerable plant and tree varieties on earth are among the beauties Allah creates. Flowers, all in different colours and trees of different forms, have been created and among their purposes is that they give great pleasure to people.
One who has faith thinks about how flowers such as the rose, violet, daisy, hyacinth, carnation, orchid and others have such smooth surfaces, and how they come out of their seed completely flat without any puckers as if ironed.
He Who created and moulded;
Other wonders Allah creates are the fragrances of these flowers. A rose, for instance, has a strong and constant ever-changing smell. Even with the latest technology, scientists cannot develop an exact match of the smell of the rose. Laboratory research to imitate this smell has not yielded satisfactory results. Smells produced based on the scent of the rose are generally heavy and disturbing. However, the original scent of the rose does not disturb.
Someone who has faith knows that each one of these is created for him to praise Allah, to present him the art and knowledge of Allah in the beauty He creates. For this reason, when someone sees this beauty while strolling in the garden, he glorifies Allah, saying, "It is as Allah wills, there is no strength but in Allah" (Surat al-Kahf: 39). He remembers that Allah has put all this beauty at the service of mankind and that He will give the believers incomparably excellent blessings in the hereafter. He takes more pleasure in the beauties he sees than everyone else, because as Allah's Messenger (saas) said, "People will not sit in an assembly in which they remember Allah without the angels surrounding them, mercy covering them, and Allah mentioning them among those who are with Him."' (Muslim) And because of all this, his love for Allah increases ever more.

Greatest Regular Season Day in MLB History? | Preview of the new 2011 season player cards
September 28, 2011 arguably goes down in MLB history as the Greatest single day in regular season history with a finish so unlikely and so dramatic it seemed it was scripted from the writers of "24".
Dan Johnson's 2-out, 2-strike Home Run in the bottom of the 9th that capped off a seven run comeback vs. the Yankees and saved the season for the Rays. For Johnson's heroics he earned a Clutch hitting situation rating on his new 2011 season DYNASTY League Baseball player card. It is very unusual for a non-RBI leader to earn a Clutch hitting rating, but it has happened before with Al Weis 1969 Mets, Tom Lawless 1987 Cardinals and Manny Mota's 1977 Dodgers player cards.
The Tigers Victor Martinez epitomized Clutch hitting by raking at a .375 clip with RSP/2 outs and .394 with RSP along with Miguel Cabrera (.382/724, .388/.673).
The AL East perennial powers Boston and New York both failed to earn a JAM situation rating for their relief aces Jonathan Papelbon and Mariano Rivera. Papelbon lost his chance for a JAM with an unimpressive .273 BA with RSP/2 out. Rivera was not only mediocre with a .261 BA/.435 SLG with RSP/2 out, but got rocked with RSP at a .326 BA/.488 SLG clip.
DYNASTY League Baseball fans Dave Kerpen and Andrew Kaufmann debated the merits of the Mets R.A. Dickey chance for a JAM rating in the 2011 season player card set. What it came down to is that even though Dickey won only 8 games he was a candidate for a JAM rating because he was amongst the Official ERA leaders with his 3.28 ERA. Dickey earned his JAM rating on the basis of a .184 BA/.241 SLG with RSP/2 out.
The poster boy for a JAM rating is Tim Lincecum who dialed it up with RSP/2 out allowing a .115 BA/.177 SLG. Now THAT is a pitcher who can get out of a jam!
Carp JAM rating? This year a resounding YES for Cardinal Ace Chris Carpenter.
How could he not after besting Phillie Ace Roy Halladay in a Game 5 NLDS 1-0 duel of aces to end all pitching duels? A .236 BA with RSP/2 outs during the regular season helps too.
Beer in the bullpen? The Red Sox cleaned house after the season becaue the clubhouse chemistry had gone awry. The starting rotation of Beckett, Bucholz, Lackey and Lester all got slapped with a D intangible rating for their Boston beer party.
Mark Buehrle staked his claim on this generation's version of Jim Kaat with an A+ Range rating and 90 Error rating. Buehrle ranked #1 in the Fielding Bible Plus/Minus leaderboard for pitchers with a +4 score to his right, +2 in the middle and 9 runs saved.
Troy Tulowitzki (A/100/-5) earned an A Range rating on the basis of his excellent 5.05 Range Factor (1st) and his solid Fielding Bible +10 score. Error 100 ratings are historically rare and Tulowitzki's .991 Fielding pct. got him the top historical rating on the scale. Tulo's player card is a true gem topped off by his -5 Double Play pivot rating which was earned on the basis of his #1 ranked DP pct. of .681.
In the AL, Brendan Ryan (A/70/-5) ranked 1st in the shortstop Fielding Bible rankings for the second year in a row with a +22 Plus/Minus.
It's rare that a rookie would debut with an A range rating, but that is exactly what the Angel's Mark Trumbo (A/70) did ranking 1st in Fielding Bible Plus/Minus (+11).
Washington's Rick Ankiel continues to not just impress, but to put himself in the pantheon next to Clemente in terms of throwing arms. Ankiel's 7 "kills" and 9 runs saved ranked him 1st among all CF. MLB scouts also graded Ankiel's arm an 8 on their 2-8 scale. Ankiel (B+/90/-4) earned a very rare -4 throwing arm rating in 2011 in both CF and RF.
Atlanta's Michael Bourn continues to be as menacing as Jason Bourne – only Michael does his killing on the basepaths. Bourn scores a 10 Baserunning rating and top tier lead (7/6/2) and steal (8/7/1) ratings at 2nd/3rd/Home.
The new DYNASTY League Baseball 2011 season player card set is available for DYNASTY League Baseball Online right here right now and available in the original Board version format at the Ticket Window.

I made my case for R.A. Dickey on the Facebook fan page very early and was happy to see him get JAM. The Mets were horrible, Dickey was not.
This is more of a gameplay comment/question, but it was with the 2011 cards so I'll ask here. I was playing a game vs the computer, CHW vs Clev, the computer started the game with Thome playing 2b. How is this possible? I know Thome played one inning (or just 1 batter?) at 3b irl and is rated there, but how can he play 2B in the game?
Was there an injury in your series Jack? Even with an injury there are other back up 2b on Cleveland. If you can forward the box score link to email@example.com we can research it.
I sent an email with the box score. No injuries, the computer apparently demoted all of Cleveland's 2B's so had no one rated to play there.
Problem has been fixed (a few days after I originally posted the issue, I'm just now getting around to posting here), I greatly appreciate it that Mike himself responds to questions and concerns.
It certainly was a day to go down in the history as one of the greatest baseball day. Unfortunately, I fell asleep in the middle of the games from exhaustion caused by the season up to that point.

I ordered my 2011 cards and game in late December, and am wondering approximately when to expect them in the mail? I can't wait.
Hi Judy, the new 2011 season player card set is shipped out on a first in first out basis for all pre-orders between August and October. Right now October pre-orders are finishing up being shipped and more recent orders are estimated to ship at the end of the month. For specific information on your order please email email@example.com
Also, I don't personally collect baseball cards, but it is incredible to me that they have such in-depth statistics. Kudos to the people who take the time to figure all of this out.
Just for clarification, the DYNASTY League Baseball player cards are game cards for the DYNASTY League Baseball simulation game which is available in both a board version and online version.

You have no items in your shopping cart.
This print started out as a baseball card more than twenty years ago. Every aspect of it is designed to preserve the original look and feel of the card, from the printing pattern to the slightly worn edges. In fact, this print started by finding the actual card in our vault and then painstakingly re-mastering it with a team of designers. The authenticity extends to manufacturing; each print is made on high-quality, cotton fine art paper that measures 1/64 inches in thickness. Framed prints feature 2-inch flat wood or metallic frames with high-end, glare-resistant glass. And all prints are officially licensed by MLB and the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
Future Tigers legend Kirk Gibson finally became a regular in 1983, the year this Topps card was released, at age 26. He played in 128 games, split between designated hitter and the outfield. Gibson struggled average-wise at .227, one of the worst seasons of his career, but hit 15 homers and knocked in 51 while stealing 14 bases. It would set the stage for several big seasons to follow.

Blue & Gray in full swing
Hello from Barbour County!
Congratulations to the winners of the Belington Emergency Squad raffle. Dan Scott was the grand prize winner of the Dodge Challenger and Steve Shanabarger is the winner of the camper. Thanks to all who gave to a good cause.
The Blue & Grey Reunion is this weekend. This is a great time of excitement and re-enactment in downtown Philippi. Attendees can see live action in the streets as soldiers fire off their muskets and march across the covered bridge. Re-enactment on Sunday starts at 2 p.m. After the battle, there will be a live "amputation" at the tent by the red light.
Congratulations go out to the Philip Barbour Class of 2013. Graduation is at 1 p.m. today at the Barbour County Fairgrounds.
Chris Foster, a Barbour County 911 dispatcher, has a desire to help those in Oklahoma affected by the deadly tornadoes. There is a trailer at the courthouse in Philippi, where donations can be brought to help this need. At the end of June, she will be packing everything into a U-Haul and delivering the items to Oklahoma.
A fund has also been set up at Premier Bank for monetary donations. The account there is "Barbour County Relief for Oklahoma."
With just a few days left in this school year, I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe summer!
Mark your calendars for June 8 for the city wide yard sale in Belington.
Tables will be set up at the Freedom Bank and there will be a flyer available for locations of yard sales throughout town.
Also on June 8, organizers will present the Annual Mikey Hart Memorial Poker Run. Registration is $10 per player from 9 a.m. to noon at the Belington Fire Department. The trip will take riders to five different fire departments throughout the day, ending at the VFW Park in Belington at 4 p.m. for food, music and drawings. This goes to benefit the scholarship fund in memory of Mikey Hart. For more information, call Judy at 304-823-2991.
The Philippi Knit Whits group meets the second Tuesday of every month at the Philippi Public Library. The next meeting will be on June 11 at 6 p.m. If you knit, crochet, do any type of needle work or just want to come and watch, you are invited.
If you have any Barbour County news that you would like to see in the Inter-Mountain, feel-free to give me a call at 304-823-2539. I love hearing from you!
With Memorial Day not too far behind us, I saw this quote that I wanted to share with you: "It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather, we should thank God that such men lived." – George S. Patton Jr.

NY man released after DNA tests, due in Vt. courtMay 15,2013
The Associated Press
MONTPELIER — A suburban New York man released from a life-without-parole sentence after new DNA tests cast doubt on his conviction for killing his wife in a Vermont condominium almost two decades ago is due to be arraigned again in the killing.
John Grega is scheduled to appear in court Thursday in Brattleboro on a charge of aggravated murder for the August 1994 death of his wife Christine Grega, who was killed in a Dover condominium where the couple and their young son were vacationing.
She had been beaten, sexually assaulted and strangled.
John Grega's 1995 conviction was vacated last summer after new tests found DNA of an unknown male in samples taken after Christine Grega's death.

Giant Powerball Prize Is Now Largest Ever In Game, Mega Millions® Also Climbing
DES MOINES, Iowa - There's jackpot news galore right now, with Powerball's big prize climbing to an estimated $600 million annuity ($376.9 million cash option) for Saturday's drawing and the Mega Millions jackpot rolling to an estimated $190 million ($140.9 million cash) for Friday's drawing. Not to be left out, the Hot Lotto® jackpot also continues to grow, with that cash prize hitting an estimated $6.21 million for its drawing on Saturday.
Saturday's Powerball jackpot is the largest in the 21-year history of the game and the second-largest lottery jackpot ever worldwide. The previous record Powerball jackpot of $587.5 million was won on Nov. 28, split between two tickets in Arizona and Missouri. The largest jackpot in the world was a $656 million Mega Millions prize won on March 30, 2012. That big prize was split by three tickets in Illinois, Kansas and Maryland.
The Powerball jackpot was last won in the drawing on March 30, so it has been growing for about six weeks.
Strong sales across the country are the reason the prize is taking big jumps now. Saturday's estimated jackpot is about $236 million higher than the $363.9 million prize that was up for grabs in Wednesday's drawing.
The odds of winning the jackpot in Powerball are about 1 in 175.2 million because there are about 175.2 million ways you can combine the numbers in the game to make a play. By tracking sales, lottery officials can estimate how many of the possible combinations have been purchased for a particular drawing. Lottery officials estimate that about 80 percent of all the possible combinations will be purchased for Saturday's drawing.
Players are encouraged to sign the back of their tickets and to keep them in a safe place. The lottery also suggests that jackpot winners should seek financial and legal advice as they make plans to enjoy their new winning experience.
"And don't forget to check your ticket for other prizes," said Lottery CEO Terry Rich "In addition to the jackpot, there are eight other prize levels in Powerball, ranging from $4 for matching just the Powerball up to $2 million for matching the first five numbers with the Power Play®."
When You Combine All That Money …
Between Powerball, Mega Millions and Hot Lotto, a combined jackpot estimate of $796.21 million will be on the line in lottery drawings this weekend. And that huge amount is the biggest combined total ever. When the Mega Millions jackpot hit its record level back in March 2012, a combined total of about $716 million was on the line in lottery drawings that weekend. Either way, it's an attention-grabbing amount.
Is This The New Normal?
If it seems like we've been seeing bigger jackpots more often in lottery games, that's because we have. Changes designed to achieve bigger, faster-growing jackpots were made over the past few years, and they are producing exactly that. In January 2010, most U.S. lotteries began selling both Mega Millions and Powerball rather than just one of the games alone, and in January 2012, $2 Powerball debuted. Both factors have contributed to the run of giant jackpots we're seeing today.
Two Iowa Tickets Came Sooooo Close Wednesday Night
Two Powerball tickets purchased in Iowa were just one number away from having a share of the jackpot in Wednesday's $363.9 million jackpot drawing. Both tickets matched four of the first five numbers and the Powerball to win a $10,000 prize. They were sold at these lucky stores: Kum & Go, 1001 Sanborn Ave. in Okoboji; and Kum & Go, 530 North Ave. in Norwalk.
Iowa's Lottery Hot Spots
Here is a list of the Top 10 retailers with the highest lotto sales in Iowa from Sunday through Wednesday, leading up to the last Powerball drawing:
California Is In!
This big Powerball jackpot run is the first that will include California. Powerball sales in that state just started on April 7. The addition of California to the mix truly takes Powerball to the national level - folks from New York across to California and Florida up to the state of Washington now play the game. And with that national exposure comes the possibility of lotteries working with other national brands. What if you could win brand-name merchandise as part of the game? The possibilities are endless.
How Do I Play?
The huge jackpot is attracting a lot of first-time players. Here's how to play, if you're just getting in: Powerball players choose five numbers from a pool of 59 numbers and another number - the Powerball - from a separate pool of 35. Plays cost $2 and you can choose your own numbers or let the terminal generate a play for you by asking for an easy pick.
Players who purchase the Power Play option for an additional $1 per play can increase their winnings (except for the jackpot) by up to four times the amount.
Drawings are held at 9:59 p.m. on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Here in Iowa, you can buy a ticket for Saturday's drawing up until 8:59 p.m. that day.
A Few Words About Office Pools
A lot of folks may be thinking about forming office pools or buying tickets with friends, family and neighbors. It's a fun thing to do, and hey, you don't want to be the only person still at work Monday when everyone else has won, right? The Iowa Lottery offers these reminders to keep your pool play fun and hassle free:
Please Play Responsibly
Rich predicts high sales in Iowa this week and reminds everyone to play responsibly. "As you've probably heard us say before, 'Remember to play with your head not over your head,'" he said. "The fun of our games is that you can do a lot of dreaming for just a few dollars."
About the Jackpot
The Powerball jackpot starts at a guaranteed $40 million and grows from there until it's won. Jackpot winners in the game can choose to receive their prize as a one-time, lump-sum payment or in 30 annuitized payments over 30 years, with the annual payment increasing over time to accommodate for inflation. The cash option is a one-time, lump-sum payment equal to the cash in the Powerball jackpot prize pool from the sale of tickets across the country. Here in Iowa, jackpot winners pay 25 percent federal withholding and 5 percent state withholding on their prize.
Eight lottery tickets sold in Iowa have won Powerball jackpots so far, including two just last year alone. The largest Powerball jackpot won in Iowa to date came in June. The Shipping 20, a group of co-workers from the Quaker Oats plant in Cedar Rapids, claimed that $241 million Powerball prize.
Powerball History
Powerball and Mega Millions are both lotto games with jackpots that have climbed into the hundreds of millions of dollars. Today, Powerball tickets are sold by 45 lotteries: Iowa, 42 other states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands..

Cobalt Plastic Bottle with Pump, 8oz
Convenient bottle is ideal for blending and storing aromatherapy blends. Best suited for lotions and oils. Some creams may be too thick. Includes pump. 8oz capacity.
This is the only bottle I use in my practice. The only reason I ever buy more is to replace the old ones after a few months. I find the tube/pump a bit hard to clean so after about 4 months, I just get new ones.
I am extremely pleased with this dispense bottle. It exceeds what I had expected. I have tried numerous other bottles and was always disappointed. The others always quit working or made some type of squeaking sound. This bottle works very well, it does not squeak and the quality of the bottle itself is exceptional!! I ordered two and I only wish I had ordered more so I would have one for every type of lotion and oil I use and also so I would have one for home and work. I highly recommend this bottle. I love it!
This bottle is great for lotions, oils and thinner creams.
I had previously used a lower quality bottle that broke down very quickly. I love this bottle, how easily it pumps, and the durability. Another review mentioned that a lot of product comes out with one pump-this is true. I actually prefer that to the pumps that dispense only a small amount. I haven't had a single issue with this bottle!
bottle is non-microwavable if you want to heat lotion or oil quickly, the blue color may help preserve it's contents longer, however it's difficult to view how much product is remaining in bottle before re-filling. Most important to me is that the pump spout has no open/close feature, which is really important if one's massage practice is mobile. Bottles may have a tendency to get moved around while in transit and in doing so the pump can get pushed and disperse oil/lotion on various items not intended for emollients. I think all lotion/oil pumps should offer an "open-close" position as protective safety feature of mishaps.

On a soft summer night in Vermont, 12-year-old Lisa went into the woods behind her house and never came out again. Before she disappeared, she told her little brother, Sam, about a door that led to a magical place where she would meet the King of the Fairies and become his queen.
Fifteen years later, Phoebe is in love with Sam, a practical, sensible man who doesn't fear the dark and doesn't have bad dreams - who, in fact, helps Phoebe ignore her own. But suddenly the couple is faced with a series of eerie, unexplained occurrences that challenge Sam's hardheaded, realistic view of the world. As they question their reality, a terrible promise Sam made years ago is revealed - a promise that could destroy them all.

"Not her best"
No-- I really enjoy Jennifer McMahon but this wasn't the best book.
The fairies-- least interesting
I don't think so. It was a great performance
"Still scared to turn out the lights..."
Just when you think you completely understand what's going on, a kink gets thrown into the plot and you start to doubt everything you know so far. It's an addicting mystery and it kept me lying on the cough listening to what was supposed to be entertainment for my commute.
I haven't heard her other performances, but she does a great job. Nothing ruins a book more than a bad narrator- Lily Rains gave all the characters their own voice, and the overall narrative a great delivery.
Lisa, hands down. I still can't decide if there was a supernatural element to the book or not , but I do want to reach into that book and take that girl somewhere safe. Both Lisa and Evie- it's one of those stories where you start out witnessing the train wreck and spend the rest of it wanting to let everyone know what's waiting for them if they keep on.
I wish the ending were different, the only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars, but the rest of the book was great, and my thoughts on the ending aren't negative enough to stop me from recommending it.
"Kept my attention but slightly let me down...."
It had such potential, and it WAS a good listen. I loved the narrator, she did her best to find distinct voices for the characters, never being annoying, even with the children and the men. (Often a female narrator has a hard time with male voices)
The story was enchanting at first, really bringing you back to being a kid and believing in mysteries and fairy tales. But it went back and forth between NOW and 15 years ago and I guess I wanted the NOW to wrap up more realistically. It had some twists I didn't see coming, and I liked that and it DID open the door for a sequel. Overall, a good listen with an excellent narrator.
"Good story, narrator should not do voices."
The ending was a let down. Not necessarily because it wasn't a neat tidy happy ending but in the end, but circumstances didn't unfold to solve the book - it was explained in way too much narrative. I would have liked to see a better, well put together ending.
Yes, I liked many elements of the story.
By far, not the worst I have heard, but i find it extremely distracting and irritating when narrators try to do voices.
No - too scary! Ha.
Counselor with eclectic taste, I enjoy all types of fiction, dark, strange and twisted things, humor and explicitly.
""Think of me. Remember me. Love me.""
Being drawn into the story, gripping, wanting, no needing to know more.
Lisa, for her never-ending belief and sacrifice for it.
All of them, she did well with all the variables.
Lisa and The King of the Fairies ..Lisa for her naivety and unfaltering faith and The King for his guise and twisted reality developed at the hands of twisted fate.
Good narration, Great dark story. I love the twists and the ability of this story to completely pull you in and leave you cringing.
"Great quick read"
The author kept me guessing til the very end on this one. A truly engaging and enthralling read!
Always looking for twists in a story that surprise me!!!!
"Scare factor just Right!!!"
Understand this is a 1st book by the author. If so, it is especially terrific. Couldn't stop until I had finished. Perfect scary level. I hope there are many, many more to come from this writer.
"Reality crossing over into fantasy"
I like a story of reality crossing over into fantasy and back again, but this one left me wanting more. The last scene was like the last scene in a horror movie, but it didn't leave me breathless. With that being said, I enjoyed the storyline, premise and most of the characters. McMahon kept my attention. Overall, I enjoyed this book.
"Don't breathe a word"
Good book. Kept me listening til the end. Are the real or not? You will just have to listen to find out.
"Unhappy ending"
This story had a good story idea but ended with the bad guy winning. Now I know as well as anyone that real life doesn't always end happily, in fact quite often doesn't. That is exactly why the good guys must triumph in fiction. I won't read this author again

Jacksonville Closes Out San Diego State
from press release
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Jacksonville scored
seven unanswered goals to wrap up a 15-5 victory over San Diego
State at D.B. Milne Field on Saturday afternoon.
Sophomore Taylor McCord (Jacksonville, Fla.) led JU scoring four goals on four shot attempts. McCord also added two assists for the Dolphins which improved to 2-2 on the year with the wire-to-wire win.
McCord started off the scoring with an unassisted goal two minutes into the game followed by a score 12 seconds later from junior Morgan Derner (Lake Mary, Fla.) as JU grabbed a 2-0 advantage. A second year program that is making its first ever trip to the East Coast, San Diego State did not go away quietly as the Aztecs continued to challenge the Dolphins throughout the first half.
JU eventually grabbed a 6-3 lead at the break as junior Kaitlin Stewart (Annapolis, Md.) scored on a free position shot with three minutes remaining.
"We struggled to get into an offensive rhythm and had a few to many turnovers in the first half," said JU Head Coach Mindy McCord. "San Diego State did a good job with their transition defense so they deserve some credit for causing some of our miscues. They certainly gave us a test."
The two teams traded goals the first eight minutes of the second half as the Dolphins held onto an 8-5 advantage with 22 minutes left to play. Freshmen Kelsey Wiglesworth (Towson, Md.) then helped jump start the 7-0 run with 21 minutes left when she scored her first collegiate goal off an assist from McCord.
Senior Amanda Hurley (Columbus, Ga.) added a pair of free position goals during the game-ending run to bring her team leading total to 10 this season on 11 shot attempts.
"We did a better job of capitalizing on our opportunities when we had them in the second half and Karli made some nice saves in the cage that allowed us to pull away," said McCord.
Senior goalie Karli Tobin (Moorestown, N.J.) matched a season high with 10 saves for Jacksonville.
The Dolphins return to action next Saturday at Presbyterian.

Ruf seems to be a baseball player to me.
Ruben will not like that though and deal him or something stupid.
Brown in right and Revere in center and ruf in left next year is a good enough outfield.
The issue would still be the 50 plus million going to 1B 2B and SS
Who 2 of the 3 really are not good enough and haven't been for a long time.
1-0 Phils
Make up some ground on the Mets!
Who signed Dice K today LOL
As previously noted, Ruf-Revere-Brown is the new Luzinski-Maddox-McBride.
Funny Lou – I have always thought of Ruf being the "baby Bull" – no neck and all but Brown's power suercedes that of Maddox and McBride and Revere – well, its hard to compare him to either of them. Speed yes but arm? Nada..
It is nice to think of these guys as anchoring the outfield for a few years to come though. We haven't seen Ruf at his full potential yet, Brown is just coming into his own and Revere? I'm anxious to see him back on the field. The new look Phils start with the OF, migrate to the IF.. btw – I really like what I see in Asche so far.
Andrew, in what way is the $50+ mil for 1B, 2B, and SS an issue?
That's over 100 million the next 2 years.
That could be used to address the multitude of problems this team faces.
Signing a closer long term not being one of them. As Ruben blew that also.
Tough to have the 3rd highest payroll and the second worst run differential.
They will stink the next 2 years with those guys being hurt or stinking.
I guess its nto an issue though with a GM who would squander it anyway.
so yes its not an issue as long as he is still GM.
If someone else had the job would like to see how he spent that 100 million in 2014 and 2015.
50 million is the pay roll for the Tampa bay Rays
68 million is the entire Pittsburgh Pirates.
Sorry to me it is an issue.
Even with that $50 M, there will be $139 left of luxury tax threshold to spend on the rest of the roster. I haven't seen anything that says they won't have enough to get additional FAs.
It's a lot of money, but someone will have to show how it's actually going to limit them.
Dear Ruben,
Why pick up Bernadina when you have Wells? Was it to option Mini, who has more lives then six cats, and should have been out of a uniform eons ago? Will you reveal it all in your new book, "How to dismantle a baseball contender" with a foreward by Minaya. Go away, Ruben. Far away to the LAN of classlessness with Papleturd.
On a friendly, positive note, it seems that Sandberg has imbued the players with some life, or had ye change itself done that? Why both are debatable, I'm just happy to see a little improvement, and I'm happy with the few things Ryne's done already, sans batting the Mart at lead off. Go Phils!!
Hey Big Ed yesterday I mentioned that although mini is gone for now that just like herpes he'll be back . He's only in remission right now big guy! lol
That was supposed to be "land" and "the" not "ye." Damn iPhone. and Bernadina is 0 for 2 with two strikeouts. Nice. When I look at the Val of his baseball card, Ruben, I see a lot of $hitty years and one flash in the pan year.
By chance, do you know where the Phils rank as fat as grounding into double plays? We have to be in the top five!
Open to anyone: Do we keep Kendrick next year? If so, why? If not, you would replace him? Just wondering because he is so amazingly inconsistent.
They're 5th in the NL with 102 DPs (average per team is 97). But more importantly, they've had fewer DP opportunities than average, since they've hit below average, and their DPs as a percentage of their DP opportunities is 2nd highest in the NL.
By the way, the team that has ranked first in DPs no matter how you count it, including as a % of opportunities, is St. Louis, the best hitting team in the NL.
Thanks for the reply and stats! I am blown away that St. Louis is number one, and would not have expected it.
Are these DP stats only "grounded into…" or do they include such things as lining into DPs, runners being thrown out trying to advance on flyballs and strike-out-thown-out-stealing types?
Further analysis might reveal that the Cards are first because they are aggressive and attempt to advance more often. Maybe they have more line-outs. Lack of speed with certain players might contribute.
A good hitting team will generally have more DPs because they have more runners on base in a game. But the percentage, to me anyway, needs further examination as to just how a team's players are doubled up before any hitting judgements can be made.
It only includes double plays grounded into, so the aggressiveness doesn't apply.
And it's true that having more men on first would result in more double plays, which is why I also offered GDPs as a percentage of opportunities, where the Cardinals are also the highest in the NL.
Two more homers and Ruff ties Howard this season in less than half the games.
Does that beat all or what?
I got to see that tonight
Fightins are back!
It's nice to see these games. Doesn't matter to me if it's too little too late, I still enjoy winning no matter what.
Should get on and chat sometime my friend.
Holy $hit! Two walk offs in a row!!! Way to go boys! Loved every minute of them! Go Phils! Chooch said since Sandberg there life has returned to the clubhouse and now…maybe the field? Go Phils! Woo!!
maybe throwing viagra at the tv and yelling stand up like men a win dammit is working. If it turns our to be a 4 hour game do I call the doctor? nahhhhhhh
You don't need to call the doctor, but that can get expensive man. 🙂
On the Gameday beer…at CBP I'd rather spend my $8 or $9 on something with more flavor than a Coors Light…UGH!! You might get more of a buzz from a $4.50 water. How about Victory Summer Love?
It is still possible for us to finish over .500. That's what I am hoping for.
It's not fair to speak for other people, but I'd imagine most people would scoff at this question. I mean 13 under .500 is a lot to make up in what's left.
But what's not necessarily a scoffable way of wording this is do they at least have a shot at making a run at .500. Tge answer to that is actually not no.
The reason I say that is one would do well to remember the 3 of 4 following the only winnavble game V LA are games they somewhere between could and should win, but they were all HOME games. See how the Phils compete starting Sunday, V Patrick Corbinand through a road trip against the Cubs and Mets. Then, they play a bunch of home games. Their on pace to win has dropped to as low as about 70, maybe as high as 72, maybe they dropped down to 69. That's a far cry to come back from to notch the 81 that .500 represents.
But if things roll well with Sunday's atrat, maybe they can still get in a position where they can make 77-78 seem possible That'd be a pretty good sign that they played good ball under Ryno.
But you gotta play some good games on the road at a minimum to take this recent uptrick seriously, and think it can be stretched.
Ken – you are probably right. But I can still hope…
Do we really need the h in your name? Ads to the spell it right challenge.
I was glad to catch your original post because I did a 2-3 day later flip on it thinking I made a little much of the road thing. Made me think, which is what I try to get of this here place.
I suppose the best approach is keep thinking positive, and the numbers will fall in as they would, .500, or at least a winning attitude, which is more fun than it was. Hope and a lean to the positive leads me to feeling last night was a blip.

this list will most certainly grow as we as a team grow stronger
this is a serious team we want to go out to these tournaments not only to have fun but to win. Practice dates, times, what we are doing (Scrimmage or drills), and locations will be posted here so check frequently. we so far do not have any sponsors but that is subject to change. if you are wanting to tryout come to any of the practices let us know who you are we will definitely work you in and you will not waste your time or money playing on another team if you come. we will be playing in the C.F.P.S tournaments for either d6 or d5 depending on how we grow to the next series. not only are we looking for players but a good coach as well to help us out for the practices. there are no age limits as to who can join the team. we are shooting to play the upcoming season.
Thank you,
