Rob Bradford Argues Mike Trout for AL MVP, While Ian Browne Supports Triple Crown Winner Miguel Cabrera (Video)
Originally posted on NESN.com | Last updated 11/14/12
The AL MVP debate has been waging since Miguel Cabrera clinched Triple Crown back in early October. The discussion is based on old vs. new, sabermetrics vs. standard stats, and "value" vs. historical context. Cabrera was the best hitter in baseball this season, but was he actually as valuable as the Angels' rookie center fielder Mike Trout? Trout led the Major Leagues in WAR — wins above replacement player — and is the much better base runner and fielder, while also contributing heavily with his bat. The award will be announced on Thursday, but WEEI's Rob Bradford and MLB.com's Ian Browne argued each of their points Wednesday on NESN Daily. Bradford took Trout's defense, base stealing and sabermetric value, while Browne took Cabrera's bat and historical achievement. The two also debated how much the Blue Jays-Marlins trade will shake up the AL East. Watch Bradford and Browne wage WAR in the video above.

Re: Scope Tracking/Repeatability test proceedure
Dave, you sir are correct. I do this before Any rounds are fired. It gives you a good start point before you start throwing other factors into the equation such as rifle accuracy, shooter error and even wind.

Re: Scope Tracking/Repeatability test proceedure
I had been meaning to add this here. Largely cut and past but should be helpful to many:
For others asking, I'll try and give a little primer.
First of all, check out Lindy's
How to Optically Check a Rifle Scope
for some excellent information some of which I'll duplicate below.
It's not rocket science guys, you don't need to be an Engineer or even be particularly smart. You just need to be smart enough to realize it's an important thing to do if you shoot long range much.
About the easiest method in "the real world" is with a yardstick because everybody has one and they work out nicely being exactly 10 Mils at 100 yds:
Naturally it's easier to be more accurate with a higher powered scope:
Easy way to verify the calibration of your reticle. 10 mils, 36". Bam, done.
Next you want to verify click value and/or reticle perpendicularity with respect to the turret movement. For this you need to hold the rifle very steady. It's very difficult to do by yourself by hand; if you do it a bunch of times and sort of take an average you can get an idea if there's a big error but you won't be exact. Having buddies hold the rifle and click the scope while you look increases accuracy somewhat. But by far the best is having a gunsmith vice of some type so you can solidly lock down the rifle.
I've seen people mention using calibrated paper. That's fine too as long as it's big enough (measuring 10" or so at 100 yds just isn't enough accuracy; I feel 10 mils or more is the minimum), it's far enough (the closer the paper or object is the smaller the errors will be that you're trying to measure) and it needs to be far enough you can eliminate parallax
You don't even need any measuring device to get some good data. With a good tactical reticle, you can get a relative measurement between the reticle and the turrets by pointing at anything. Typical Mil reticles are very easy as the top and bottom posts are usually 10 Mils apart. Simply line the top of the bottom post on an aiming point in the distance exactly and crank in 10 mils. If the top post's edge is now exactly where the bottom post's edge was, your reticle matches your clicks.
Relatively speaking they're dead on with one another. You should still check them with a yardstick, barber pole, etc, to make sure they're absolutely correct, but in my experience reticles are more consistent than click values so your odds look good.
The same goes for reticle cant with respect to the turrets. All you need is a straight edge at which to aim. It can be a yardstick, post, corner of a building, etc. But it needs to be perfectly straight.
Lock down the rifle with the reticle on the edge--exactly lined up on the edge and crank in 10 mils or so. If the reticle stays on the edge, you're good. If it moves laterally with your vertical turret input, you have a reticle that's not square with the turrets. Clicking windage to see how many clicks it takes to put the reticle back on the edge will allow you to calculate the angle.
Another tool one can use to check these things is a collimator. Some quality boresighters with a good grid qualify so we aren't talking about some super expensive lab equipment here. If you do things correctly, you will get exactly the same answers using one of these and doing stuff "in the real world." I've done it enough times both ways to feel very confident accurate results can be had using one of these--actually I feel this method provides better accuracy since rifle movement is taken out of the equation, mirage is taken out of the equation, parallax is taken out of the equation, etc.
Here's a visual on how that works:
First, line stuff up and check the reticle against the grid. This grid is in IPHY. As you can see, the 2 mil mark above the horizontal stadia and the 8 mil mark show 10 mils equal 36" on the grid--within a fraction of a line width or so which I figure is "close enough."
Then you line stuff up; I used a line to the right of the main one as it made the pics look less cluttered. For checking reticle cant you must line up the vertical line with the reticle as well as humanly possible.
Crank in 10 Mils. Here are your results. As you can see with this scope, the first thing you've noticed is the reticle is no longer on the line. It has not just shifted a tiny fraction laterally but you can actually see daylight between the line and reticle. This shows the reticle cant with respect to the turrets (the tool and the reticle are lined up making the turrets canted with respect to them).
Measure it numerous times, line the thing up over and over and you get an average of roughly 1.5-2 clicks required to put it back on the line. That translates into a degree or a bit more. Just enough I can't say "good enough."
Next notice the reticle has moved a bit more than 37" where it should have only moved 36". We checked the grid against the reticle so even if the grid was off, that would mean the reticle was also off as the reticle and the turrets don't agree. Either way, you have a problem.
Now while you don't need to calibrate a yardstick, you should calibrate (or at least check the calibration of) your grid in the collimator. The easiest way of doing this is checking it against scopes with known good reticles--that you've carefully checked in the real world and verified. I've done that with this one with numerous high end scopes (including the IORs pictured above but didn't happen to take a pic of them) so I know it's within a fraction of 1% true.
But for peace of mind it's always good to have a control, a standard, a sanity check. For this I threw on a Premier 3-15X50:
10 Mils on the reticle measures 36" within a fraction of a line width ("good enough").
Line things up the same way.
Crank in 10 mils. As you can see, the reticle is still on the line. It may have shifted a small fraction of the line's width amounting to a small fraction of 1 degree, but it's such a tiny amount likely challenging my ability to line them up correctly--definitely falling in the "good enough" category.
Also notice it moved 36", within a fraction of a line width. Notice the 10 Mil mark on the upper vertical stadia is exactly on the zero line indicating the reticle and turrets match exactly.
In other words, it passes as the deviations are so tiny the accuracy of the tool and my methods may be responsible for some or all of the deviations.
Hopefully if anything good comes of this thread it'll be people get educated a bit and measure their optics. I didn't start doing this when I bought the PST and it certainly isn't the first scope to have less than perfect results. The nasty truth is most people who are thinking their scopes are perfect only think that because they have not measured them.
People mention lack of QC.... I'll remind them once again Leupold says +/- 3 full degrees of reticle cant is within spec and will pass the best QC in the world because it's within spec! I measured this one at only around 1 degree.
There are manufacturers selling scopes a shitload more expensive than this one where +/- 2% is within spec for click value. This scope is just a hair outside that mark.
Most people would never notice these deviations. Many people would notice similar deviations on their own favorite scopes of whatever brand if they actually measured them.
So again I'll ask people keep the proper perspective. I get paid to be anal. I make my living worrying about tiny little numbers. It's hard for me to do things any other way--especially when I enjoy being able to make first round hits at crazy ranges with new equipment and new loads, etc.
When you worry about the little things, the big things take care of themselves. So you don't have to blame being way off on the first round on "ballistic programs aren't accurate, they just give you a rough idea," or "the BC of this bullet out of
my rifle
is really 1.5!!!" or "it must be a bunch of spin drift...yeah, that's it!" etc.

While that is technically correct, I don't agree it's a desirable condition. To me, a fundamental part of marksmenship is trying not to cant the rifle--especially when shooting at long range. The reticle is your first tool with which to do so. Yes, there are environments where this is difficult and one should resort to referring to an external bubble level of some sort.
But it's not difficult in many environments. From targets to target frames to window frames to door frames to buildings to pine trees to animals the world is full of vertical references. Having to hold your scope crooked with the world in order to make it track correctly is not the optimum setup in my opinion.
I do realize at least one manufacturer says reticles canted up to 3 degrees are just fine. I disagree. Here is a reticle canted 3 degrees with the world:
(Props to jonMT for that)
If people don't mind holding their scope that crooked and using an external bubble level in situations where it shouldn't be needed in order to get the scope to operate correctly, it's their money. That's fine with me.
However, I will choose to spend my money on scopes with straight reticles.
Again, this scope wasn't nearly that bad as I stated above at only around 1 degree--it was just barely out enough to bother me. If that isn't enough to bother some people, that's fine. People were wanting to know the accuracy of the adjustments so that's what I reported.
I know you always want a scope to be spot on but to be honest I do not feel 3% is that big of a deal.
You're right, it's really not. For Ballistic Geeks like me I can compensate pretty easily. The thing is as this thread demonstrates very few people measure their clicks. If it says .1 Mil they expect it to be and so when they can't make first round hits even after doing everything else correctly because of an error in the scope, that makes the scope a poorer tool than a scope that is dead on.
And while there is much software out there now that allows you to compensate, this was not always the case. Some of the most popular software for a very long time was unable to compensate for out of spec clicks.
And when you're swapping a Mil scope for another Mil scope on a rifle having to use different dope for the same rifle, same load, etc, is rather annoying.
So while I agree more sophisticated users can compensate, that doesn't make it right. When $400 scopes can have accurate clicks, in my opinion there really isn't an excuse for more expensive tactical scopes to be very far out of spec.
Again, some manufacturers may disagree, but Vortex isn't one of them. They agree the scopes should be in spec and are working hard to make sure that they will be.

You always need to do actual firing to be sure of a scope. One of the scope's job is to keep the reticle where it is supposed to be during recoil which it doesn't have to do on the collimator.
However, you can get much of the same information you'd want to get from a box test with the collimator, and arguably more accurately (it eliminates the shooter changing hold, canting the rifle, the rifle's accuracy, wind, mirage, and all sorts of other things that can interfere with a live test) so it's the first thing I do with a scope. One thing is for certain, if the scope isn't tracking correctly on the collimator, hoping it will in real life is a way to waste ammo and nothing more.
Unfortunately, most of the box tests I see done (especially on hunting boards) aren't good enough to tell much about a scope other than a complete failure in tracking. They're done over too small a distance, the group sizes are too large and often if the group is even remotely in the right vicinity they're declared a success.
If a scope tracks perfectly on the collimator that does answer most of the questions people shoot box tests to answer, so in a sense the answer is a qualified yes. I do let the collimator testing answer those questions (click value, reticle straightness, looking for erratic reticle movement or sticking, etc).
But of course, real shooting needs to be done. If recoil is causing erratic reticle movement, that'll usually show up in group sizes as well. And while I don't do specific box tests much, I do make a point of dialing way up for a far target, down to a close target, back up to a far target, etc, so much that any problems with elevation tracking will show up quickly.
But yeah, if you measure meticulously on a collimator, the rifle shoots tiny groups with the scope, it's really unlikely you're going to have any surprises tracking-wise unless you actually break something.

Leupold. They say that is within spec. People have had them refuse to fix scopes with canted reticles less than 3 degrees for that reason.

Really. Never heard that. I don't buy VX-Is, but I have never seen a canted reticle with any of mine. In fact I have never had trouble with Leupold in my life. They replaced an older FX I had with a brand new FX-II. It had a slightly can't reticle and wasn't holding zero. It was 35 years old too.
I might send a note to a buddy of mine that works there to give him a WTF? jab. That isn't right.

It's a widely known problem that is pretty common with MK 4's (VX-I or VXII, VX3 owners for that matter are oblivious for the most part) and Leupold doesn't seem to care about tightening it up as it has continued to happen for years. Plenty of reading material

North Shore Rescue is warning the public, hikers who trespass in the colder months are putting themselves and rescuers in danger.
"We still do see a large number of calls in those closed area through the winter".
Doug Pope with North Shore Rescue says hiking in the winter is a completely different ball game.
The chances of getting lost because of snow are high and there's also hypothermia to consider.
"The stakes go up for us as well. This time of year the rescue get more difficult because we have the same shorter light window means we have less use of helicopter. We're putting rescuers in difficult terrain in the dark which increases our risk".
In addition to hikers, Pope says the team is called in to help find lost or injured skiers and snowboarders.
"Hiking in the winter in conditions like we're starting to have on the north shore now is a completely different ball game then in the summer"
Many trails in the North Shore have closed their gates for the winter season.
Pope is reminding hikers of all levels to be careful. The stakes are higher.
"We have a shorter light window, obviously lower temperatures and the risk of hypothermia. The trail gets difficult to follow. Once there's a layer of now on the trail itself we find people lose trail a lot easier and get into difficulty that way"
Trails closed include Hanes Valley, Coliseum Mountain, Lynn Lake, Crown Mountain and Goat Mountain.

Some Scottish Premier League clubs could be forced out of business if broadcaster Setanta goes into administration, according to a former club chairman.
"I think it puts the future of one or two SPL clubs in jeopardy," said Labour peer Lord Foulkes, the former chairman of Hearts. "They are already struggling financially and this on top of it could be the tipping point. It is very serious.
"In some clubs it represents up to 20 per cent of their income and the loss of it would be really catastrophic," he told the BBC. "The bigger ones have got reserves that would carry them through even this kind of difficulty, but some of the smaller clubs in the SPL I know are already in financial difficulty and this kind of thing would just tip them over into a situation they could not recover from."
Lord Foulkes said Setanta had done "a very good job" in broadcasting Scottish football and added that he hoped a solution could be found. "The situation is now so grave in relation to the future of some of the clubs that all options need to be looked at," he said when asked if Sky could intervene.
Setanta suffered a fresh blow yesterday as BT Vision suspended any further sales of Setanta Sports. The board of the Irish broadcaster met yesterday to consider a last-ditch rescue package in a bid to stave off administration by selling off large chunks of the company.

Downtrend of the Australian is valid
Tatiana Norkina, FBS analyst
Yesterday the currency pair AUD/USD made another attempt to escape under the support 0.7260, but last week update of Friday's lows did not happen. The market consolidated under Tenkan-sen line into force oversold - Chinkou Span is in the relevant area.
At the same time, the downward trend is still relevant: Ichimoku Cloud continues to widen downward, and lowering of Tenkan and Kijun lines strengthens the action of the dead cross that makes us suggest the imminent resumption of the downtrend.
Technical levels: support - 0.7260; resistance - 0.7335.
Trading recommendations:
1. Sell - 0.7335; SL - 0.7360; TP1 - 0.7240; TP2 - 0.7130.

Jaydubya93, you are invited to the Teahouse[edit]
Hi Jaydubya93! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia.
We need help![edit]
Wikipedia:Surveillance awareness day needs help. There have been calls for "something special" on Feb 11.
I sort of took the lead, and began "Brainstorming" what "something special" might look like. Well, there are no judgments in brainstorming, so I wrote all kinds of content. In some cases, I would write something, only to add-- in the very same edit, that what I had just written lacked my support.
Unfortunately, what was just "preliminary brainstorming notes" caught the attention of the established mainpage bureaucracy, who misinterpreted my brainstorms as an actual proposal, and legitimately freaked out, since it didn't meet any of the guidelines and was just the insane scribblings of a single editor.
So we got a huge amount of backlash-- eventually I wised up and remove all links to my brainstorms, which is fine, as they never reached a quality that had my support anyway.
We need leaders, and I'm not one of them! lol. But you seem like you're up to the task!
In my estimation, we need two conversations (as proposed by Guy Macon)
- "Should we do anything special?"
- "If we decide to do something special, what should we do?"
It's critical to make the distinction between "discussing" a timely issue and "participating" in a protest. We may not have the answers-- but we can anticipate the questions.
But the idea desperately needs new attention. I tried to lead it for like three days, and ran it into the ground. You will do better-- you couldn't possibly do worse. --HectorMoffet (talk) 16:47, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
- Hector - I would be honored to help. And thank you for helping to get this idea off the ground. I've done my best to read over the current documentation but I would like to touch base with you to find out more about what's already been done. I can start creating content today.
- This controversy is unlike any issue that Wikipedia's editors and readers have dealt with before. Wikipedia is in a unique position to provide a complete, honest accounting of that controversy. Just as importantly, the ultimate outcome of the controversy will have a huge, long-lasting impact on the Wiki project.
- After reading through the the negative feedback to your proposal, I think what is escaping critics is that for us to do nothing in light of this issue is not a neutral position. Feel free to reach me here or contact me via email, my best address is the live.com address at www.joshwieder.com/p/contact-information.html (let me know when you have it so I can remove this info from my talk page). I look forward to getting something accomplished. Jaydubya93 (talk) 14:32, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
- Hi HM and JWya, I wanted to call your attention to User:Sj's comment here. I think s/he's got the right idea and it is time to move on this - Jimbo's is a good place to comment, if you feel to, since this is where the idea sprouted. I agree with your insight, Jaydubya, that there really is no clear way for someone who wants to help, to jump in via the Project talk page. What has happened there is a little bit inevitable with fewer than 10 editors weighing in on what is an extremely contentious issue - total fragmentation and paralysis. In my mind, we need to bring a general RfC to the community about whether we are going forward with this or not - whether it's a banner, the main page or a portal. While that RfC is ongoing, we can simultaneously be organizing volunteers and creating a 'to-so' list for article creation, clean-up and updating, etc. Whether Wiki participates in any way or not, the articles related to this issue are in need of work :D petrarchan47tc 20:35, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
- I concur with Petrarchan47 and SJ-- time for an RFC. I tried taking the lead before, and it didn't work out so well, so I'm not the person to set this up. But if you set it up, I'll be happy to participate. --HectorMoffet (talk) 07:31, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
- Alright time to get started. I agree that for simplicity and ease of communication we need to agree on a single option and push it. All suggestions thus far have involved replacing content on the main page. I support the idea of using primarily existing content and putting a surveillance-focused Featured Article, Did You Know and In the News. I think it will be easier to get that accomplished than a complete black out a la SOPA, there is more relevant content in the encyclopedia on this than SOPA and helps make it clear this is an educational effort. It also helps lighten the work load given time constraints. I also think we should push for the "Wikimania" header link text to be replaced with anchor text regarding "The_Day_We_Fight_Back" and leading to our wiki page on the topic. IMO we could use that to compromise should we receive continued disagreement from those opposed to doing anything. I will retype this idea on Wikipedia_talk:Surveillance_awareness_day/RFC. Please let me know if you approve - if so I will type the RfC and we can get it posted.
- My goal is to get the RfC up no later than Monday morning and start marketing it first thing. Jaydubya93 (talk) 04:15, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
- I just came up with this let me know what you think!
- Inasmuch as Wikipedia is a free online encyclopedia that depends on its users to provide accurate and unbiased content, concerns over widespread government surveillance that could lead to self censorship and retaliation for publishing is a growing issue for Wikipedia editors and readers. Should Wikipedia provide a surveillance-focused set of encyclopedia content for users on February 11 regarding the "Day We Fight Back" online protest? This proposal would involve pointing Featured Article, In the News and Did You Know to Wikipedia content concerning government surveillance while continuing to maintain the highest standards for "NPOV" encyclopedic content. Jaydubya93 (talk) 04:31, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
- We have had the most blowback and bureaucratic stagnation from proposing anything regarding the main page. I agree with your timeline of Monday morning. I would suggest that we need to gauge whether the community wants to support anything, rather than whether they support a specific plan. The RfC wording (question) has to be extremely clear so that consensus can be gauged more easily. People can argue so many points from this proposal, most of them to do with the main page, which has so many rules. As we found from the earlier Project talk page, main page regulations are close to insurmountable. Being so short on time, it might be more realistic to think of a banner, leading to a portal that would contain related articles and information - all of it in accordance with Wiki's rules. Another option might be to look into a community-wide straw poll, if there is such a thing. petrarchan47tc 05:31, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
- Understood. Jaydubya93 (talk) 13:30, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
Kelly Monaco[edit]
I've reverted your edit to the Kelly Monaco article. Non-free files, such as pictures of actors playing parts in television shows and movies, can only be used if no free images are available or could be made. See WP:NFCC#1. Since Monaco is still alive, a free file could still be found or made. Additionally, the image page must have a rationale for using that specific non-free file on each specific article in which it is used. Dismas|(talk) 13:57, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
- I didn't upload the file you're referring to. Its already in use, and has been in use for roughly 9 years on both Kelly Monaco and Sam_McCall. See, for example, Talk:Kelly_Monaco#Infobox and Talk:Kelly_Monaco#Other_picture. Theres a long-standing convo and consensus about using this image. I am going to reinstate the photo one more time and ask that you request consensus from the community before removing it again, because in order for your argument to make sense you need to remove the image from both articles. What I'm saying is you my in fact be right, but this image has been in place on Wikipedia for almost a decade and its inclusion involved a larger discussion that other editors deserve an opportunity to involve themselves in. If we are in violation of fair use by using the image for the actress, its doubtful that the fair use rationale works for the character and for the same reasons - we could use an image from a press conference or convention appearance because the actress is alive and the show still in production, etc. Jay Dubya (talk) 17:30, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
- I've moved this conversation to Talk:Kelly_Monaco#Use_of_Kelly_Monaco_Image_from_Sam_McCall to allow other editors an opportunity to participate. Jay Dubya (talk) 17:39, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
A barnstar for you![edit]
|The Original Barnstar
I'd like to thank you for your help on Teobaldo's Nina Mamani article. Thanks, Yasser Caminante77 (talk) 16:46, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
- Hey thanks! I've been going through unsourced BLPs and came across Nina there. Its an incredibly slow going process. IMO placing a "references needed" tag again isnt whats needed on these articles. When they have been sitting 5-6 years we need to go out and get the sources already (or remove the article until sources exist)! At first I was on the fence about Nina, because all sources I could find were in Spanish or French, and because I was completely ignorant of Nina. I'm glad I put the work in to do the translations. I was able to learn something new, and I was able to avoid damaging the encyclopedia by making a deletion proposal based on ignorance.
- Im glad you enjoyed the changes, and welcome any ideas or feedback you might have in the future. Jay Dubya (talk) 13:14, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

Rachel Foster[edit]
I had to decline your BLPPROD at [1] because of the limitation of that policy to articles created on or after March, 2010--the article predates that. I'd suggest AfD or a regular PROD instead. Sorry for the extra lap! --j⚛e deckertalk 18:49, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
- Not a problem. I've been going through the list of long-term BLP's without sources and placed quite a few up for removal recently. If anything, I owe you an apology for overlooking the date and placing in the incorrect removal queue. Thanks for your help. Jay Dubya (talk) 13:05, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
- Per your recommendation, I have resubmitted the article for deletion under a generic prod. See Talk:Rachel_Foster for details. You are welcome of course to provide your input and guidance. Cheers, Jay Dubya (talk) 13:31, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
Help with Time-Division Long-Term Evolution article?[edit]
Hi Jaydubya93, I'm reaching out to you as you're listed as a member of WikProject:Telecom and I'm wondering if you might be able to help me out with something.
I'm currently working on behalf of Qualcomm to update the article for Time-Division_Long-Term_Evolution, which suffers from a number of issues, as I've detailed on the Talk page. I've prepped a new draft that I think does a better job of covering the topic, and uploaded it to my userspace. Because of my financial conflict of interest, I won't make any of these changes myself. Instead, I'm looking for volunteer editor to review what I've done and, if it looks okay, move it over into the mainspace. Do you think you might have time to review my draft and move it over? I'm also happy to answer any questions or concerns. Cheers! ChrisPond (Talk · COI) 16:39, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
- Hi Chris. Thanks for reaching out. I've used Qualcomm gear in the past but have no fiduciary interest in the company. Id be glad to take a look and contribute to the best of my ability. Jay Dubya (talk) 15:22, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
- I've reviewed both drafts and after thorough review and reading the talk page, I've instituted your draft. Well done, its an obvious improvement well-sourced without COI. Please note that your draft will almost certainly be changed moving forward (as all wikipedia articles tend to be). That said, your work and related citations have allowed this piece to take a huge leap forward. Thanks for following the rules and helping with the project. I am happy to help with any questions you might have in the future. Jay Dubya (talk) 16:49, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited José Luis de Jesús, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page ABC (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

I seen your recent post in BPSN, I'm not sure how to rename to Article...but I would like to take the Almighty off of the title....as it is ambiguous if not rhethorical. How can it get done?188.8.131.52 (talk) 17:59, 26 March 2014 (UTC)Sorry forgot to sign inWnicholas70 (talk) 18:00, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
- Hi Wnicholas. Its my understanding that in order to rename an existing article you need an administrator to do so. Without an administrator you could create a second article with the new name, copy the content to that new article, and replace the content on the old article with a redirect to the new one. Either way, you'll need to get some community support to develop a consensus for the change to the article you mentioned, because its been around since 2012 under its current name. It looks like you are on the right track as you've launched a discussion on the talk page to gather consensus. I will join the discussion there. Also, no big deal but in the future its easiest to get ahold of me on my talk page here: User_talk:Jaydubya93. You can also reach it by clicking the Talk tab at the top of this screen, or using the Talk text link next to my username in my post signatures. Once I know youve seen this reply I will move this discussion there for record keeping. Jay Dubya (talk) 15:19, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

woah... thats random
the other week I had the hard drive wiped on one of my laptops, well after reinstalling windows and other stuff, I am left with no sound drivers, so no audio...that I can live with. But, what is annoying the life out of me, is that I now have an American keyboard!Everything is in the wrong place and just plane stupid, is this a post or a rant? I like to think both. Can I just repeat, American keyboard layout is just stupid...stupid.
Mine looks normal George! LOL I have never seen another kind before!
WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!! Tons of keyboards I wondered how you all were able to put accent marks over letters ours wont do that!
I recently learned that though the Swiss use the German QWERTZ keyboard, their lay out is slightly different from that of the Germans. The Germans have no key for an E with two dots, and no dead key for those two dots either; the Swiss have - probably because they have also French and Italian as their national languages. Some Belgians that reside in Germany and use German computers switchd the reional settings on the control pannel to Swiss because of that.
It used to be possible to get accented characters up and stuff (on Microsoft) by pressing alt and then three numbers on the numeric keypad. I haven't done that for ages...╚^That was ALT 456 (randomly chosen to see if it still works). Still works then. Don't ask me what codes produce what characters though!
Can you not simply go to the Regional and Languge section in the Settings and change your keyboard
...I type them in Word, using "Insert/Symbol...", and copy and paste them where I need them.

Your GMC dealership isn't the only place to buy trusted parts to repair your Envoy XL. It's not a regular occurrence that you discover you need a replacement Blower Motor Regulator Resistor for your vehicle. Auto enthusiasts appreciate the strong looks built into each GMC, and understand that only the best replacement Envoy XL parts will suffice when repairs are needed. GMC vehicle enthusiasts have come to expect a certain level of reliability when driving their Envoy XL around town.
Multi-speed climate control has been around for decades, and is a convenience we all take for granted. The small device that allows your heater to project air at different speeds is your heater blower resistor. Because it is connected directly to the heater switch, your GMC Envoy XL blower motor resistor adds varying amounts of resistance to the circuit that controls the blower motor. When the GMC Envoy XL heater switch is set to "Max", there is less resistance in the circuit so more amps go to the blower. And when you switch to low, the heater blower motor resistor raises resistance so that less amperage reaches the blower motor.
Given all the hassles associated with performing maintenance on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the number one store you go to make purchasing it easy. Don't let a broken Blower Motor Regulator Resistor bring about the demise of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by installing anything but the highest quality replacement parts. Buy all the car parts you will ever need from carpartsdiscount.com and realize incredible savings on all your upcoming repairs. Just choose your year from the list below to find the right GMC Envoy XL Blower Motor Regulator Resistor for your 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002 model.

Midlands-based Knight & Sons is in the final stages of negotiation with Lovells to join its panel of subcontractors for major client Prudential Property Investment Managers (The Lawyer, 9 October). It will give the 18-partner firm access to a legal spend that runs into millions of pounds a year. Managing partner Ian White says that to be chosen by fellow professionals is the ultimate accolade. He anticipates growth from landlord and tenant work as well as acquisitions and disposals.
This summer, Knights invested heavily in a new network infrastructure as part of an ongoing programme. It will enable the system to integrate with that of Lovells and allow for faster data transfer for all clients. "I hope that we'll become more nationally recognised," says White.
Careful recruitment is always vital, but for the firm to support its new alliance it will be paramount. So it is not surprising that White thinks it is time to start promoting the West Midlands. "Recruitment into the north Staffordshire area has been difficult for all firms," says White. "We've taken a policy decision to recruit mostly trainee solicitors from the local area, on the basis that they will want to stay here." For many years Knights has been dogged by losing good people to the large regional and national firms. White hopes that the Lovells link will help improve the perception of the firm.
Property supplies 40 per cent of the firm's turnover, with the next largest area being tax, trust and private client work. White is keen for the firm to grow across all departments, continuing its policy of organic growth where possible.
Client service standards will be key to the firm as workload develops. There are 34 other fee-earners and seven trainees. Turnover for the year ending last March was £5.3m and the rather cautious projected figure for 2003 is £5.5m. Average profits per partner stand at £130,000.
The corporate team, led by senior partner Derek Miller, completed deals worth £90m in 2001. The sale of share capital in Gardiner-Caldwell Holdings under the new provisions of the Financial Services Market Act 2000 was completed in January 2002. Knights also acts for the London Eye (part of the Tussauds Group); and Hanson, Ibstock and Midland Quarry Products in the niche market of mines and minerals.
White has recently been elected from 10 candidates to the council of the national Law Society. He represents 17,500 commercial property lawyers. It follows the restructuring of the council to ensure better representation. White was also appointed as managing partner of Knights, reducing his fee-earning role to allow him to take on such a commitment. White says: "My success indicates, in part, a desire within the Law Society that influence should be decentralised slightly. Many of the key individuals are from practices outside of London."

Galliano returns
John Galliano has been invited by Oscar de la Renta to return to fashion for the first time since the designer's anti-Semitic rant at a Paris cafe was captured on video.
De la Renta invited Galliano to spend time in his studio over the next three weeks. Galliano was dismissed as creative director of Christian Dior and left his own label two years ago after his rant went viral. A French court also convicted him on two other complaints of anti-Semitic behavior.
In a statement, Galliano said he is an alcoholic and has been in recovery for the past two years. He said he has apologized in public and privately for what he has done wrong.
De la Renta said he has known Galliano for years and is "a great admirer of his talent."
"He has worked long and hard on his recovery and I'm happy to give him the opportunity to reimmerse himself in the world of fashion and reacclimate in an environment where he has been so creative," de la Renta said in a statement.
The Anti-Defamation League said Friday that it welcomed Galliano's return to fashion.
Millions watch Armstrong interview
NEW YORK - Oprah Winfrey's much-anticipated interview with Lance Armstrong was seen by a total of 4.3 million viewers in back-to-back airings Thursday night on OWN.
But the interview with the disgraced cycling champion drew only 3.2 million viewers for its first airing, an audience that fell short of OWN's most-watched program: an interview Winfrey conducted with the family of Whitney Houston last March following the singer's death the previous month.
During the highly publicized program, Armstrong confessed to taking banned substances for all seven of his Tour de France victories, among other admissions.
Colbert's sister in politics
CHARLESTON, S.C. - No joke: Comedian Stephen Colbert's sister is running in earnest for a vacant South Carolina congressional seat.
Campaign manager Bill Romjue said Friday that Elizabeth Colbert-Busch plans to file as a Democrat next week and make a formal announcement. Colbert-Busch will file as a Democrat seeking the vacant 1st District seat. Colbert-Busch is a Charleston native like her brother and development director at the Clemson University Restoration Institute in nearby North Charleston.
One other Democrat and at least 10 Republicans are seeking the seat along South Carolina's south coast.
GOP candidates include former Gov. Mark Sanford who is returning to politics four years after an affair with an Argentine woman was exposed.
Adam Carolla sued
LOS ANGELES - A breach-of-contract suit filed against comedian Adam Carolla by three former business associates suggests that the new media world may not be all that different from old Hollywood.
Producer Donny Misraje - who claims to have persuaded the radio and television personality and longtime friend to use podcasts to reach his listeners - filed suit against Carolla on Thursday in Superior Court in Los Angeles.
Misraje is joined in the suit by his wife, Kathee Schneider-Misraje, a creative director, and Sandy Ganz, who helped rebuild and maintain websites for the company's podcasts and co-hosted a show, "CarCast," with Carolla.
The trio allege Carolla failed to distribute their share of the profits in the podcasting business - or even provide an accurate accounting of the books - in violation of an oral partnership agreement.
Great White benefit nixed
LOS ANGELES - Great White singer Jack Russell's plan to donate proceeds from a Feb. 7 gig in Hermosa Beach, Calif., to a memorial in Rhode Island to victims of a deadly fire that broke out during the L.A. heavy metal band's show there 10 years ago has been nixed by officials at the foundation Russell's show would have benefited.
Russell recently announced he would give money from his show to the Station Fire Memorial Foundation, which is attempting to raise $1 million to build a permanent memorial to commemorate 100 people who died in the 2003 fire at a Great White show.
Foundation vice president Victoria Egan said in a statement Friday Russell's donation would upset survivors.
In a statement of his own, Russell said he would honor their request and donate the funds to another charity, saying, "I am utterly saddened by the response of the foundation and the motives behind it."
'50 Shades' sealed
SAO PAULO - A Brazilian judge has ordered bookstores to ensure that the erotic trilogy "Fifty Shades of Grey" is out of the reach of minors.
Judge Raphael Queiroz Campos issued the order Jan 14 after he saw children in one of city's bookstores looking through erotic books, according to a statement issued by the Rio de Janeiro State Judiciary Department Thursday night.
Eleven copies of the "Grey" series were among 64 books taken from the shelves of two bookstores because their content was deemed improper for those under the age of 18.
Playwright wins prize
NEW YORK - Anna Deavere Smith has won one of the largest and most prestigious awards in the arts.
The committee that awards the Dorothy and Lillian Gish Prize announced Friday that the playwright and actress is this year's winner.
The Gish Prize, now in its 19th year, recognizes leading artists in such fields as drama, music and dance, as well as literature. Smith joins past winners including Bob Dylan, Arthur Miller, Chinua Achebe and Robert Redford. The prize comes with $300,000.
Smith creates documentary-style stage works such as "Fires in the Mirror" and "Twilight: Los Angeles, 1992." As an actress, she has appeared on "Nurse Jackie" and "The West Wing."
She also has won a MacArthur Foundation "genius grant."

text: Sep 18 10:29 AM CT By Todd Archer | ESPNDallas.com IRVING, Texas – After two games many of you are wondering which Cowboys team will show up on gameday. They played great against the New York Giants. They were whipped by Seattle. So what happens Sunday against Tampa Bay? I'm wondering about five things. Here's this week's Five Wonders: ** I wonder if Tony Romo will continue his personal success against the Buccaneers on Sunday. In three games against Tampa Bay, Romo has 11 touchdown passes and no interceptions. His passer ratings in the three wins have been 148.9, 140.6 and 133.9. In 2006, Romo tore up Monte Kiffin's defense for five touchdown passes. In the 2009 season opener, he beat Raheem Morris' defense for353 yards. Last year he completed 77 percent of his passes against Keith Millard's defense. This week he goes against Bill Sheridan's defense. The Bucs have allowed Cam Newton to pass for 303 yards and Eli Manning to pass for 510 in the first two games. Sheridan was the New York Giants defensive coordinator in 2009 and in the two games Romo threw four touchdown passes and was intercepted three times in two Dallas losses. **OK, Felix Jones won't be cut. Jerry Jones said so this morning on KRLD-FM. Jason Garrett was taken by surprise at the question during the post-game press conference, too. But should Jones be active? He's not an effective kick returner. Garrett keeps saying Jones is a big part of the offense. Why? He can't make a tackler miss. He's had one carry in the first two games. This is DeMarco Murray's running game right now, as it should be. If Jones can't be a special teams' help and can't make people miss as a pass catcher, then why should he be on the 46-man roster? Something has happened to Jones. He's lost that speed that helped him get by without much make-you-miss.

Truth Is Stranger #44: That Nasty, Culture-crushing, Book of Indecency, The Bible
Hong Kong watchdog group for decency receives reports that the Biblical literature is obscene.
You know, I have always said the Bible--as a whole--is definitely rated R.
But at least this story get some of my first year students more interested....
4 comments:
- Michelle said...
Apparently, my grandmother agreed. My mom tells me she opened the Bible once, read a bit, and decided it was "too dirty" for her eyes.
I liked to point out certain stories to my CCD students (6th grade). David and Bathsheba was a favorite. And there's one where Jacob's daughter is raped by an infidel who wants to marry her. Her brothers tell him he and all his men have to convert - and be circumsized - in order to have her as wife. They do so, but are in a lot of pain. The brothers take the opportunity to slaughter them.
Yeah, good stuff. Funny how children's Bibles leave that stuff out...
- KaleJ said...
Yeah that is why all those prudish Catholics keep going to Mass ever Sunday. They are hold out hope to hear the "good" stuff.
- Leticia said...
The Bible HAS to portay sin or how would we feel able to join the Church? It's a hospital for sinners, not a museum for saints. This demonstrates the infinite patience of our loving Father!
- CMinor said...
I've found that Muslim fundamentalists like to make hay out of the "dirty parts," as well.
To me, some of that sordid stuff in the OT is just a reminder for us when we think humanity couldn't possibly get more depraved than it is today, that there are very few "new" ways of being sinful. A lot of that stuff has been going on since our ancestors were beaning each other with Achuelian axes. We are neither original or unique in that regard.
It also indicates to me that the ancient Hebrews were onto something really new and different in the culture they were building--they were literally the eye of order and reason in a hurricane of depravity and chaos. The hand of God at work?

1500 or 2500? PLEASE Help a New Member!
Hello all. I just joined the forum, but have owned a few Rams over the years. I'm hoping someone out there could help me, please.
I am looking to purchase a new Ram for 2011, & am having trouble deciding whether I should get the 1500 or 2500. I primarily use it for transportation & occasional hauling & towing. I tow a 24-foot Wells Cargo enclosed car trailer with a car inside ('68 Charger), maybe 2-4x per year, max. I still want to tow safely, when I do. The trailer has electric trailer brakes, & I use 1000lb weight distribution bars. The car weighs approx 4000lbs, the trailer curb weight is around 3500. Any long-distance towing would be done in under a 6hr trip, max.
Bought my first Ram new in '98: Quad-cab Laramie 4x4 shortbed with the 5.9, 3:55 axle ratio. Towing capacity, if I remember correctly, was around 8400lbs. It pulled it OK, but struggled a bit on hills due to the 3:55's.
Next came a '97 Ram 2500 Quad-cab Laramie 4x4 shortbed, with a Hemi & 4:10's. MUCH better towing! Towing capacty on that truck was 10,850. Really towed nicely, but it turned out to be a lemon (don't ask) & I got rid of it under the NJ Lemon Law.
So... I am looking at another Hemi-powered Laramie 4x4 shortbed. If I go with the 1500, it will be the Quad-cab 4x4 shortbed with 3:92 gears & I was thinking the 20" wheels. If I'm reading correctly the towing capacity on that truck is 10,050 lbs. If I go with the the 2500, it would be the Crew-cab shortbed 4x4 with 4:10 gears. The towing capacity on the 2500 equipped like that is 11,600 lbs.
Do I need the extra power of the 2011 2500, or will the 2011 1500 handle it OK? The towing capacity on the 1500 seems only 800 lbs less than my old '97 2500, which towed great. My local dealer seems to think the 1500 will do fine, but then again that's coming from a dealer.
The only thing that's swaying me to a 1500 is that the incentives right now are really good vs the 2500. I just don't know 100% if it'll do the job.
Sorry for the long rant. Anyone have any input??
