Location: Northwestern Romania (County: Maramures)
Size: 20 sq. miles (52 sq. kilometers)
Elevation: 729 ft. (228 m.)
Population: 136,000
First documented: 1329 AD
One of the most important mining centers of Romania, Baia Mare has a history of more than 2,000 years of gold, silver, and other nonferrous metals extraction. First mentioned in 1329, Baia Mare has preserved some its medieval past around the main town square, Piata Libertatii.
The oldest house here, dating from the 1440s, stands on the east side of the square, a lone remnant of a long-gone castle built by Transylvanian prince Iancu de Hunedoara for his wife Elisabeta. The house, appropriately named Casa Elisabeta, is used these days to house temporary art exhibits. Towering above the square is the Gothic-style 120-foot-tall watchtower, Stephen's Tower (Turnul lui Stefan), spanning six centuries of history. (Baia Mare - City Map)
Another square, Piata Izvoarelor, houses Baia Mare's main open-air food market.
Next to it stands the only remaining part of the town's 15th century medieval fortifications, the Butchers' Tower (Turnul Macelarilor).

Baia Mare makes an excellent starting point for the numerous cultural and natural attractions in the Maramures region, dominated by a landscape of mountains and rolling hills.
Gutai-Ignis natural reserve, the wooden churches in Surdesti and Plopis, Dan Les' potery workshop in Baia Sprie are within a 20 miles radius from Baia Mare.
The Gutai, Lapus, Tibles Maramures and Rodnei Mountains are cut by passes including the Huta, Gutai, Prislop, Setref and Botiza. Three large valleys cross the region: the Viseu, Iza and Mara.
The Rodnei Mountains National Park, a natural reserve filled with a rich diversity of flora and fauna, has been awarded biosphere status by UNESCO. Here, chamois leap between rocks, eagles' cries ring out overhead and as the snows recede in the spring, crocus and other flowers cut swaths of dazzling colors across the landscape.
Where: 40 miles northwest of Baia Mare
Nearest train station: Sighetu Marmatiei
Colorful, five-foot carved oak crosses, featuring portraits or scenes from the deceased's life, are inscribed with witty epitaphs that capture essential elements – both the good and the imperfections – of the villagers who rest here. Words and images were chosen by the sculptor as he saw fit at this unique cemetery located just 15 minutes outside of Sighetu Marmatiei.
The crosses also feature geometric designs in symbolic colors: yellow for fertility (the subject had many children), red for passion, green for life, black for early death. The townsfolks' ancestors considered death as a beginning, not the end. Therefore, the background is always blue, the color of hope and freedom.
Even without benefit of translation, visitors will appreciate the handiwork of sculptor Stan Ion Patras (1907-1977), who began carving these epitaphs in 1935. Patras' house in the village is now a fascinating museum. Vasile Stan, one of Patras' apprentices, continues the work of his master.
The Wooden Churches of Maramures are unique in shape and ornamentation and eight of them – in Barsana, Budesti, Desesti, Ieud, Plopis, Poienile Izei, Rogoz and Surdesti,– have been recognized by UNESCO as World Heritage Sites.
The characteristic high roofs and tall, narrow, pointed steeples are often collectively described as the Gothic Style of Maramures. The primary wood material used by the artisans was local oak, which has survived the elements with sturdy elegance until today. The interior walls of the churches were painted by local artists, with biblical scenes often juxtaposed against the familiar landscape of the village. Most of these houses of worship have stood proudly since the 17th and 18th centuries – some even longer. The oldest wooden church in Maramures is the Church on the Hill in Ieud, which dates from 1364.

What can I do with extra chili? :D
I really love chili so I made a triple batch.
Well I used a new seasoning pack and it's not the chili that I love at all
What can I do with this chili?
The only thing I know to do so far is:
baked potato with chili on top
macaroni add chili
Normally I like taco salad but this time I trying to actually hide the chili a bit LOL.
Thanks if you know of anything

-You listed mac and chili but have you made mac and cheese with just a cup of chili inside to give it just that little kick to make it "different?"
-Can you use some of it in a new batch of chili that you do like?
-Can you use puree a cup of it and toss it in a pot of soup?
-What about using a little pureed chili and mix it into a batch of bread dough?
-Can you doctor it up into a different style of chili like Cincinnati style?Sponsored Links Remove Advertisements10-12-2008, 05:05 PM #4
You could layer some of the chili with some cheese in between layers of tortillas and make a burrito pie. Bake in a 350F oven until hot and bubbly. Serve with salsa on top and a nice green salad on the side.
Make taco soup. Combine some chili with vegetable or beef broth. Add a handful of rice, some canned diced tomatoes, taco seasoning, and salsa to taste. Simmer until the rice is cooked. Serve with a few tortilla or corn chips crumbled on top.10-12-2008, 05:56 PM #5

chili rice casserole
leftover rice
black olives (optional)
can of beans (optional)
I slice up a can or two of black olives into the chili and maybe a can of beans. I mix some of the rice into the chili and keep adding in rice until until it looks "casseroley". Then, I mix in some cheese (how much depends on how much I have). I toss it in the oven to cook. I save some of the cheese to sprinkle over the top. If you don't have enough cheese to add in it, just sprinkle it over the top. You sprinkle the cheese over it like the last few minutes of baking time. I just get the cheese to warm up and get melty.
My guys love this. I "created" it one of the times that I had some leftover rice and some leftover chili. I added in the cheese and made it into casserole. The guys all said that it would be better with black olives in it. So, the next time I made it, I added in the black olives. They were right, it was nummy!!10-12-2008, 06:12 PM #6

I agree with ceashels - make Cincinnati 4 or 5 way chili out of it.
A "two-way" is spaghetti topped with chili only. chili is "three-way" if you put grated cheddar cheese on the chili, "four-way" (with added red kidney beans or chopped raw white onions), or "five-way" (with added beans and onions).
The dish is called The Five Way because of the five distinct layers usually served on a large platter. The first layer is a large helping of spaghetti. The next layer is ladles of Cincinnati chili. Next comes a layer of kidney beans. Chopped onions are piled over the beans. The entire dish is then crowned with lots of grated cheese, usually Cheddar.10-12-2008, 08:03 PM #8
Pour the chili into a casserole. Mix up a batch of cornbread batter and pour on top of the chili. Bake at 400 until browned on top.10-13-2008, 03:57 PM #9

Mexican Fiesta pie ( From Pillsbury)
3 cups corn or tortilla chips
15 oz can chili with beans ( can use homemade)
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cups shredded cheddar or monterey jack cheese
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease a 9 inch square pan or casserole dish. Layer half the corn chips, chili, onion and cheese in the dish and repeat the layers with the rest of the ingredients. Bake for 15 minutes or until hot through. Garnish with lettuce, tomatoes and olives.
* I use stale chips; a good use for them. We also like sour cream on ours.

Right now Hubby & Lovebug are out on the deck doing some quality bonding and working with power tools.
All for our very spoiled cat.
See, our kitty likes to go outside. That's not so strange, but the strange part is she won't even try to jump the fence (I don't think she knows she CAN) so she just stays in the backyard.
The problem?
The deck at our new house has some gaping holes underneath, and we now have a puppy that likes to playfully chase the cat. We don't want the cat to go hide under the deck where we can't get her out, so we need to cover up the holes before we can give her freedom.
I don't care about her freedom so much as I want to be able to leave open these beautiful french doors and enjoy the gorgeous weather we've been having. Obviously, if the doors are open she will head outside. So, it must be fixed.
So, Hubby & Lovebug headed to Lowe's to get some lattice and are now cutting it to fit on either side of the deck.
Soon…very soon…we will once again be able to leave the doors wide open and enjoy the fresh air.
That reminds me – I need to find our flyswatter!

I have too little time for reading these days and so ''anxious'' is not a factor
I have G&A and Handguns, plus My USCCA membership gets me the Concealed Carry Magazine - oh and First Freedom comes from NRA.
When the first two require renewal I will not continue - simply so hard to read everything fully. I no longer am on lookout for new releases of guns, altho interested of course in what is coming in .. some ammo related articles are useful too at times but - these days I can live without the rags pretty much.

I was going to write about why a general strike would be a terrible idea for the left.
I bet you're amazed, eh? Me, a moderate social democrat, saying I think that the Trade Union movement embracing a tactic of 'explicitly political' strike action (Which has worked so well, every time it has been tried before) would be a mistake.
But then I realised that precisely because such an analysis would surprise no-one, it was pretty boring. Centrists gotta centrist.
Instead, here's the definitely not at all centrist Andy Newman, author of the Socialist Unity blog, someone who in principle would welcome a General Strike against austerity if he thought it would have a reasonable prospect of success:
"Let us be clear that an ill prepared or poorly supported general strike could be an enormous self-inflicted defeat for the Labour movement."
Andy's point is about the tactics and practicalities of such action, while I think explicitly political industrial action is anti-democratic and mistaken in principle, so would be against it even if it were practical.
We may differ on that point, but I think his practical analysis is sound:
"I am far from convinced that any of those trade union leaders calling for such action could actually deliver it. Any such industrial action called without a ballot would be highly problematic and prone to failure; and there is a real danger of any industrial action call demonstrating weakness not strength. What is more, many unions, including some who took action on November 30th 2011, would likely decline to participate, endangering the unity of the movement."
Andy's more detailed article on the practicalities from last year is also worth reading.
I'm not trying to tie Andy to a past analysis of the practicalities if circumstances have changed, I've changed my mind on many things over the course of a season, and if circumstances change Andy and others on the left are free to do the same.
However, I don't think his analysis is at all out of date.
The practical dangers remain as big as they were in January. Trade Union density is still low, the number of industrial actions is low, and any strike would be largely confined to the public sector, thus revealing weakness not strength. Andy's comparison of a proposed General strike with that proposed back in 1980 is useful: The 1980 General Strike was such a disaster that until reading Andy's article I was unaware it had even taken place.
So more usefully than explaining why I think a General Strike would be a disaster. (It's not as if it'd even be popular) instead we should consider why calls for such an obviously impractical mode of opposition have begun to develop their own momentum. Why is the bus trundling gently towards the bridge?
I'd argue that it comes from a fundamental weakness in the Union movement, and a concomitant unwillingness to confront that weakness directly.
The weakness is clear. Union density has declined even as the law has become slightly more favourable for union recruitment, there's an almost complete absence from key business sectors and population demographics, and union membership is becoming ever more educated, white-collar and public sector, which suggests that there is likely to be less enthusiasm for long-term industrial action. (Public sector white-collar strike action tends to be symbolic – a one day strike, rather than an attempt to bring down the 'firm' if demands are not met) (See here for a longer post on these issues)
Yet read the public utterance of key trade union leaders, and these trends appear irrelevant. Even the fact that industrial action is at a very low-level seems to be ignored in trade union rhetoric. Instead, there is an ever-expanding coalition of resistance, an inevitable march towards a radical future, and the only people who fail to recognise this are Tories and their fellow travellers, whether in the LibDems or worse, inside the Labour party itself. Since each of these are contemptible and immoral, they need not be taken seriously.
At the same time, the realities of the difficulties of organising this resistance impinges on the opposition itself.
So talk of a General strike permeates Unite's strategy, but a recognition of how difficult such will be means that the General Secretary instead proposes only that "some unions, including Unite, might go away and talk among themselves about whether there is anything else they might wish to do, over and above the collective decision of the TUC."
You don't have to be Jerry Hicks to see how that will end up as a demo, a day of action and some tour of the Quaker meeting rooms of Britain, Owen Jones and Mark Steel in tow, rather than anything of any true impact.
So why do it?
I'm working towards the view that the position of the Trade Union leadership is in fact that it wishes to leave the impression that it could, if it chose, deliver a mighty blow to the Government, and use that potential for disruption as a social and political lever even though there is in fact no such potential.
Like a rake thin weakling posing behind the cardboard cut out of a weightlifter, the Trade Union leadership wishes to leave the impression of power, and use that impression to generate its own momentum.
This isn't a stupid strategy, in the short-term. It can win tactical victories: the fact that Ed Miliband has been forced to condemn planning for a General strike that will never happen is the victory in itself, lending credibility to an empty threat. Indeed, some on the right will have their own reasons for talking up the dangerous power of the Trade Unions. Boris Johnson will love red-scare-mongering, even as he does a deal with the RMT.
Yet no-one fears paper tigers for long. In the end, this strategy is doomed by its own weakness. At some point the bluff will be called, either from the left or the right.
Unfortunately, this strategy can do significant damage to Labour until the fact it is a bluff becomes apparent. The red scare will have to be denied, again, and again.
Much more importantly, this strategy will do little or nothing to improve the prospects of Union members, as it requires the sacrifice of their real interests on practical issues on order to serve a doomed political tactic.
On this basis alone, it deserves to be utterly rejected.

Mon. March 5, 2012 | Matt Baker | Email
One of ESPN's top 100 basketball sophomores in the country has his first college offer – in football.
Nature Coast sophomore ATH Rohan Blackwood has received a verbal offer from UMass, Sharks assistant Rob Kazmier said Monday morning.
Blackwood, a 6-foot-5, 195-pounder, is among Hernando County's best athletes. At receiver, the transfer from Gulf had 82 receiving yards and caught the game-winning touchdown against River Ridge. Blackwood totaled 37 tackles and a team-best five sacks at defensive end and also spent time at quarterback.
Blackwood is also a standout basketball player who became a national name in recruiting circles in middle school. He ranked second on the team with 8.0 points and 7.7 rebounds per game this winter to help the Sharks to their first ever appearance at state. ESPN puts him among the country's top 25 power forward prospects for the class of 2014.
Blackwood's offer came from UMass assistant Allen Suber, the Minutemen's receivers coach and former Tampa Catholic quarterback, but UMass will likely look at him at defensive end. His basketball teammate, center Tyler Bergantino, signed with the Minutemen this season. UMass has also offered NCT junior running back Matt Breida.

annual expense account.
"We are very aware of when City Council expenses show up on our report," said Councilman David Roy, adding that there is an ongoing dialog about what set amount each council member should have for his or her expenses. "There are limits on what we can spend money on ... commonsense sort of things. No personal items, etc."
The Fort Collins City Council uses Microsoft Excel files created by the city manager's office, which are in turn provided to the IT department for posting. IT staff converts the files to Acrobat portable document format, which are then published monthly on the Web site.
Though the Honolulu site only publishes reports from the current fiscal year, Fort Collins maintains an archive of information on its site. There are more than 70 pages of expense reports dating back to April 2002 for the council as a whole, in addition to individual member expenditures, available on the city's Web site.
Surprisingly the hits to the Web site only range between 10 and 28 per month. The average request is 18.8 per month, with a median of 17. Although the Fort Collins Web site feature is not as popular as Honolulu's, the council remains committed to offering the information.
With the decision to publish individual expense account information on the Web, elected officials in Colorado and Hawaii are making great strides in the battle for public confidence.

Multiple rattling noises (video attached) please help asap!!
hello all,
1999 M3.. I have an obvious pulley noise, but I have pulled off the belts and aside from the tensioner itself which has a very minor rough spot they are all spinning freely and not making noise when spun by hand... How can I pinpoint which is bad? I could just replace the idler and tensioner pulleys..
Also, there is a really odd rattling noise like a wrench dragging that happens once the car is warm (5-10min of driving really). I believe it's vanos but it has also been suggested as timing chain rattle... Took off valve cover today and chain tensioners seem tight and there is no play in the chain, but is there any "official" way to check? Vanos is making a obvious noise as well...
Any ideas what this may be?
Vid: sorry for bad quality http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=vnknm0&s=6
You def have a pulley/tensioner squealing AND VANOS rattling.

ccv changed....still issues, please HELP
Hello all, new to this forum...great venue, need deperate help..here goes. 2001 x5 3.0 6 cyl.
I live in Montreal, cold climate (o to -5 degree F winters), the truck is overnight garage kept, outside all day. Drove one day and smelled oil burning, realised the valve cover gasket was leaking on back rear pass side. said would fix that weekend, drove 3 miles further and engine siezed (hydrolock) after barelling smoke all of a sudden. Realised the valve cover was because of the CCV pressure. Had it towed, removed plugs..followed proceedures vacuumed all oil out, installed complete CCV kit, new hoses, changed oil, new plugs, replace valve cover gasket and drove for 2 weeks no problems. Even did the ballon test at the time on dipstick..seemed ok little vacuum=ok.
After the 2 weeks, did a maintenance check and noticed yellow mayo in oil cap area again, pulled hose from valve cover near rad and found blocked with ice and yellow mayo so cleaned line again, and did more research, realised I never updated the dipstick tube... so changed that. Drove 2 days no issues then today (33 degree F) driving uphill (forcing engine a bit) it chugged 3 times and barreled smoke again breifly. stopped engine on side of road, waited a few minutes and started up again, it seemed to barely smoke, let it burn off at idle, drove 3 miles and hit a hill again, chugged again and barelled smoke out, this time I continued to drive and it cleared up...got home and checked hose and cap (a little yellow mustard)
I am at a loss....changed all parts that were said to, changed the dipstick tube (upgraded) and I still have issues...what did I do wrong????
HELP please...I need this truck yet it is not trustworthy anymore....

Do you get the engine hot enough to burn off any condensation in the engine? Do you take a lot of short trip, 15 minutes or less, 5 miles or less? How often do you perform an oil service? 3000 mi, 5000 mi, 7500 mi, 15000 mi per BMW?
I drive 20 minutes each way every day, at highway speeds- approx 15-20 miles, the truck is brought up to temperature since repair was done before leaving. I have not done 1500 miles since the complete job was done and when done the oil was changed with synthetic as usual. Up until this issue happened, I never warmed to temperature, drove like any othe north american vehicle for 75000 miles..never a problem, I change the unit which makes it somewhat new like original....and now we have to warm up drive excessively...I dont understand...what was good before that worked for so long...now all is needed to change, even though all parts are new.
All said, I have followed every recommendation (all new parts- warm up before drive-long drives-higher revs, etc) yet the problem is always there...

not loosing coolant ?????
no not at all. No coolant problems, we even did a leakd own and have good compression...excessive blow by??? the oil cap never whistled...just mayo.
We just set up a catch can to see what is going on. After 200kms of highway driving I had about 3 ounces of water in the catch can. Nobody can say if that is normal or not, but with the catch can I have no mayo from the valve cover tube anymore. The ccv system is still there , I just tagged a catch can at the calve cover in and back to the original return that goes into the ccv.
The question is can a 3.0 produce excessive gases that convert to water droplets? and why is it doing this now...not for last 125000kms??
When these gases turn to droplets, they are supposed to be re-burned off in the valve cover, but it seems to create mayo instead, which blocks the ccv and then regurgitates oil into the intake.
I dunno....what a bad system tho
Like anything mechanical, your engine wears as you put on the mileages. When the car was brand new all the tolerances were tight, but as the engine wear the tolerances become more loose. Rings in the engine starts to wear due to the constant up and down movement of the pistons so as the rings and cylinder walls wear, more combustion gas is able to make it way into the crankcase. The combustion gas mixes with the oil in the crank case creating a mist that is drawn up by the CCV system back into the intake to be burned.
Also short drives on a car is a lot harder on the engine since the engine doesn't have time to get hot enough to burn off any water vapor that may have been created. The yellow mayo is when you mix oil and water, but to get rid of the water in the oil, the oil has to reach a temperature close to 212 for the water to turn to a vapor. If you are following the BMW recommendation for oil change every 15,000 miles perhaps you should perform the oil change more often say 7500 miles or 5000 miles.
I had the same problem with ours two years ago Changed all tubes & ccv but didnt change the dip stick tube (to cheap) just blew out all the crap
Changed the oil at the same time and the car has been no more problems But our travel is about a 100km trip to work one way So it hase chance to burn out all the condensation in the engine
We bought this car S/H and it was the first winter that we had problems We have approx 200,000Km on it now and hope many more to come
Not sure its a bad system our audi's have same system I dont think we get to run them hard enough for long enough in the winter in Canada
Thank you all for the input.
I agree age may have its toll on cylinders etc but Wouldn`t that show bad on a leak down or compression test? Our commute one way is 45kms and only in traffic sometimes, but never less that 45kms ...20-30 minutes...I am curious to know if the temps get to 212 in winter as it is cold here..not in germany tho...lol?.
Only find it funny to be a one day to the next problem...it was never drawn out, no whistle in oil cap, no signs, no heavy oil consumption...engine just smoked, 2 seconds later hyrolocked, I shut all down and I changed all parts and full oil change at same..havent done 1500 kms yet since it was all done and I have already had 2 cloggs with smoke screens...no hydrolock though...I cant even wait till 2500 kms to change my oil again..lets forget about manufacturers recommendation or quicker oil changes...does not make sense.
Let`s say whatever at this point....To resolve my issues do you think our catch can setup will do the trick permenantly, just emptying the water droplets out everyso often? (once a week or less-more as needed) I really like the truck but hate that every time my wife call`s me it could be to say that she is on the side of the road with my 2 young kid`s broke down again

Just a thought Just because its new dosent say thats its right
to the best of my understanding the ccv works by vaccum from the intake manifold, sucking in from the valve cover, seperating oil by centifrugal force alowing it to drain into the dipstick tube
I am guessing that the suction works because it hydrolocked Try pulling the return tube off the dipstick to see if it drains oil correctly
Agreed that even tho its new it may not be good..but...
in my first post I forgot to mention The first time it happened we realised that the system was not the cold climate version...so swapped all out for foam insulated crap thinking that it was the miracle solution that we missed..and the same happened...so the mecanical-maybe it was defective does not fly this time.
As for the drain tube...it too was working, but to make sure I paid more bucks and got the ``upgraded dipstick`` wich made no difference other than a thinner pocketbook.
if there is alot of water droplets in the ccv, it does not have time to centifugally seperate oil and sucks water to into the crank..probably via the dipstick or valve intake...needless to say it makes mayo ...probably too much to burn off...kinda like a damn vicious circle turning, the more I run it the more it creates steam-water in bigger quantities...so seems no matter how much its run..it never seems to all burn off.
start with 5 first as a number / run make 5 more /burn 5 while running still leaves 5 in ccv....sorta speak
now with catch can..drain 5 so start with 0/run make 5 into catch can-none in ccv...drain=0
sorry for the math...just dunno how else to explain.

OK Just another thought
I think when i did ours i took off the top valve cover and cleaned out all the crap mayo stuff
It has a "O" ring gasket and rubber seals around the bolts so you should be able to reuse them (I did)
yours just may be that full of this stuff As you say It is just going round and round

Combining Foods for Optimal Nutrition (Page 4)
Adzuki Beans & Raspberries
Pairing adzuki beans—classically used in Japanese desserts—with raspberries may bump up the duo's antioxidant power by 45 percent, according to a 2011 study in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry. That was the biggest boost researchers saw among 55 combinations of different fruits, veggies and legumes. Top a spinach salad with adzukis; for dessert, dig into fresh raspberries.

In 1815 Charles Dickens and his family made the move from Portsmouth, on the south coast of England, to 10 Norfolk Street in Bloomsbury, London – the city that became an essential source of inspiration for his later writing. This undated photograph depicts Norfolk Street (now Cleveland Street), where Dickens lived as a child from 1815–17 and as a teenager from 1829. The photograph's caption, referring to the Dickens's 'removal from Hawke Street', hints at the father's inability to pay the rent at their previous address and his growing debt problem. By the age of 21 Dickens had lived at at least 17 different addresses.
Like any typical city street, Norfolk Street was a mixture of housing and small businesses. Recently, however, historian Ruth Richardson has discovered something remarkable in connection with Dickens. Just nine doors down from Dickens's lodgings was a major London workhouse, built in 1775 – arguably the inspiration for the workhouse in Oliver Twist.

ePromos Recognizes Its 2014 Top Supplier Awards Winners
Distributor ePromos Promotional Products, Inc. (UPIC: EPROMOS) in New York City has announced the winners of its 2014 Top Supplier Awards.
Presented in four categories, the awards were distributed in Las Vegas during The PPAI Expo 2014. Inside Rep of the Year went to Scott Woodward with Leed's, Outside Rep of the Year went to Michael Leone with Hit Promotional Products, Supplier of the Year went to Bagmakers, and Elite Supplier of the Year went to Hit Promotional Products.
In its annual Top Supplier Awards competition, ePromos recognizes suppliers that the company says have consistently gone above and beyond and deliver unparalleled customer service and have made it easy and enjoyable for ePromos staffers to help clients achieve their marketing goals with promotional products.
"These suppliers win the Top Supplier Awards not only because they develop great products, but because they're real partners to us," says Hope Binegar, ePromos' senior supplier relations manager. "They help train our people on the benefits of using those products, and they're there to discuss creative solutions when we want to do something out of the ordinary for our clients."
The winners are selected internally by a team of ePromos employees based on two criteria: They must be an ePromos Top 20 supplier and they must demonstrate outstanding customer service.


text: Two, 10-week fundraising campaigns supporting LLS's vision of a world without blood cancer will kick off in April SAN FRANCISCO, March 21, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Greater Bay Area chapter of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) will launch its 23 rd annual San Francisco Man & Woman of the Year fundraising campaign on April 4, 2013 at the University Club in San Francisco and its inaugural North Bay Man & Woman of the Year campaign on April 18, 2013 at a private home in Sonoma. Thirteen Bay Area candidates will dedicate ten weeks to cultivating donations for vital blood cancer research and services for patients and their families. The San Francisco and North Bay campaigns will run almost concurrently and offer an array of opportunities for the community to support LLS's vision of a world without blood cancer. The candidates who raise the most money will be named the San Francisco or North Bay Man & Woman of the Year. Below please find a list of this year's candidates, several of whom have been touched by blood cancer. 2013 CANDIDATES FOR SAN FRANCISCO MAN & WOMAN OF THE YEAR David Bevilacqua (He is a lymphoma survivor) Dominic Chan Steve ChenEric Dew Jackie Omotalade Christopher Orr Tanya Petrossian Christina Resasco Marc Rosenberg Tatiana Takaeva Paul Tuan Jennifer Zanotto 2013 CANDIDATES FOR INAUGURAL NORTH BAY MAN & WOMAN OF THE YEAR Joanne Sanders Fran Templin Katie Leonardini LLS IS ACCELERATING NEW CANCER THERAPIES AND SAVING LIVES Since 1949, LLS has invested more than $875 million to develop better cancer treatments. Since the early 1960s, the survival rate for many with leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma and related blood malignancies has doubled, tripled and even quadrupled. Nearly half of all cancer drugs first approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) since 2000 were developed for blood cancer patients. Thanks to LLS support, thousands of Bay Area blood cancer patients today live normal lives. Some manager their condition with just a daily pill, rather than suffer acute treatment such as chemotherapy or radiation as in years past. CAMPAIGN HONORS TWO YOUNG SURVIVORS This year's San Francisco campaign honors two young and courageous survivors of acute lymphoid leukemia (ALL) – Sarah, age 11, of Pleasanton and Rhett, age 5, of Corte Madera. After two and a half years of treatment, Sarah is a typical 5 th-grader. She enjoys swimming playing softball, cheering on her favorite baseball team (the Giants) and playing with her friends. Rhett is on the tail-end of treatment and his prognosis is good. His cancer cell counts are few and his chemotherapy is less intense. Today, he is back at school and enjoys running and playing just like other preschoolers his age. Our inaugural North Bay campaign also honors two children with ALL – Hanna, age 5, of Santa Rosa and Brody, age 3 of Rohnert Park. Both are still undergoing treatment, although Hanna's official end of treatment is scheduled for March 29, 2013. Hanna loves to play dress up, play with dolls and dance. Brody, on the other hand, is about a year into treatment; he was diagnosed in January 2012. Brody loves to ride his bike and play with trucks and his older brother. In 1960, a child with leukemia had a four percent chance of survival. Advancements in treatment have led to an eighty-five percent survival rate today. However, despite the increased survival rates, the number of leukemia patients has almost doubled and the number of lymphoma patients has tripled since 1975.

About Drake Moore
Hi there! My name is Drake. I am a genderqueer, pansexual, trans man who lives in Texas. My pronouns are he/him or they/them. My preferred title is Mx. but Mr. works as well. I am married and have a b...eautiful stepdaughter. I love working with people and sharing skills instead of money. I am excited to be able to receive goods and services that I would otherwise not be able to afford. I have moved around a lot inside Texas and would love to get out and see other places. I am very supportive and love helping people. I would love to help everyone accept themselves and others. I love video games, art, anime, manga, music, and movies. I am very bad at taking pictures, trying to take one that I even sort of like that also "clearly showed my face" was more trouble than it should have been. I will never understand how some people can take great pictures on the first try. I am also very bad at about me sections because I never know what to put. If anyone wants to know more about me I will add that info here as well! show moreOpen to other proposals

A Massachusetts hospital that in July reported a data breach that could affect approximately 800,000 individuals now says it will not send via postal mail individual notification letters to those affected.
South Shore Hospital in South Weymouth, Mass., on July 19 announced that back-up computer files that were sent to a contractor to be destroyed have been lost. The files contained extensive amounts of protected medical and financial information. They were not encrypted because a back-up process for the files did not permit them to be encrypted. Specialized technology and knowledge, however, are required to access the files, according to the hospital.

While the "Premium Data add-on charge" starts on January 30th, those currently using a non 4G smartphone (defined as "devices with robust operating systems bringing the full function of mobile applications and programs to life including BlackBerry, Android, Windows Mobile, Palm, and the Instinct family of devices") are grandfathered "out" of the program and won't have to pay the $10/month fee until you activate another phone or upgrade.
In its press release, Sprint noted that smartphone's share of the cell phone market will double in the next four years and that mobile data traffic is expected to double each year through 2014, all of which tax a carrier's pipelines. Sprint says that the charge will allow it to continue offering unlimited usage plans for its customers "while maintaining a wireless network able to meet the growing appetite for a richer mobile experience."

Concrete Plaster coat Mix ratio needed, for brick interior wall.
Non load bearing Brick interior wall that partitions off the bathroom. The cross section sides of the wall are to receive replacement door frames. The other 2 sides of the wall already retains the old cement plaster coat.
I need to apply about 0.5 inches of cement plaster coat onto the brick and remanants of the old cement plaster coat.
What Concrete Mix ratio should I use?
Do I need to attach a metal lathe, even though I am only applying 0.5 inches thick cement plaster coat?
Can I apply the 0.5 inches as 1 coat or do I need to do 2 coats?
Can I use standard concrete mix ratio, the same used in contructing structural concrete columns?
Can I use Oridinary Portland Cement or should I use Portland Lime Cement?
I have a 2 month old nearly full bag of Ordinary Portland Cement that was stored in dry conditions.
Can I apply the concrete mix straight onto the old brick and cement plaster coat surface?
Does the below Mix ratio work fine?
I'll try and upload a picture of the wall section later, right now my isp is not being aggreable.
PVA = Poly Vinyl Acetate?
Instead of mixing separate Lime and separate Cement, can I just use Portland Lime Cement?
For the mix ratios, is it done by volume or weight? So 1 part cement : 4 parts sand would be sand that is 4 times the weight of the cement or 4 times the volume of the cement?
How long should I let each coat cure before adding the next coat?
For proper curing, should I keep each coat misted with water and for how many days?
I'm doing an extension at home today, I'll put a few photo's on later.
3 Attachment(s)
Here's a few photos Spud.
If you have any windows nail some straight to the wall and do the reveals first.
Attachment 53655
This leaves this when you take them off.
Attachment 53656
Then strut more straight edges to the reveal and do the first coat and stratch it for a key.
Attachment 53657
Hi Stuart
This is the wall thats going to get plastered, then receive a door frame.
I am going to be adding about 3/4 to an inch of plaster, due to the deep central channel. So I am going to apply 2 coats.
Should I affix a metal lath also? If so, I was goin to use 2 part epoxy glue to attack the lath to the brick and old plaster coat, should not be a problem?
Looking at the job I wouldn't bother with metal lathing. A coat of PVA, wait till it goes tacky and then put the first coat on and scratch it for a key. Then put the top coat on flush with the other plaster and rub it smooth with a wooden float or a piece of wood.

I just saw that this recipe used a mix. All I did was use 1 1/4 cup of warm water, 2 tablespoons butter, 3 cups of bread flour, 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of bread machine yeast.
So I guess I did not follow the recipe as posted by Saule. I'm sorry. I guess I really need to read and follow the REAL instructions.06-22-2012, 10:34 PM #5

Thanks Saule for the ingredients. I will try this again (the right way) using your list of ingredients. I can see where the use of powdered milk would be a great asset to the recipe.06-23-2012, 06:56 PM #7
Because I don't use it that often, I find it most economical to just buy one cup of milk at the bulk food store.06-23-2012, 09:37 PM #8

I pulled ds out of kindergarten and am homeschooling him. He is so resistant to doing anything except listening to stories, but he can listen to stories for hours and hours. My friend says we should just spend a month listening to stories, and then slowly pick back up where we left off with his other subjects. While I agree with her in theory, I find it really hard in practice. I'm mostly worried that he's going to fall behind in math.
I guess I just need a pep talk. =)
We're unschoolers. Just by merit of not being stuck in a classroom being "taught", my kids were 1 - 3 grade levels above their piers in every subject through grade school. We took the CAT5 every year to keep my xh off my back. Math has always been a weak point for both my kids...but that means they were only a little ahead of their schooled peers. This year, they both decided they wanted to focus on earning diplomas. Ds is 14. He'd be an 8th grader, by his birthday. He's taking Algebra I as a freshman at the local high school. He's earning a low A, and has life long public schoolers over several times per week to help them with their homework. Dd is 11. She'd be in 6th grade. She is also taking high school Algebra, but through a correspondence school.
Not only will 1 month of no instruction not hurt him, it will do him good. He is resistant because school teaches kids that learning is something that is forced on you. That's why it takes 12 years for them to learn such basic concepts. An 8yr old with an earnest interest and desire to learn can master the bulk of high school material. It's just odd for an 8yr old to have the interest, so you can only force really simple things on them. If you give him time to get over the harm that was done to his attitude toward learning, he will learn SO much faster. When a person is interested and wants to learn something, they can learn as much in a few months as it take years to force on an unwilling learner.
That's what de-schooling is. Even if you're going to use a forced learning model for education, it's far easier to start with a child that at least wants to learn.

I have been trying to get him to do fun things like games and art, but he doesn't even want to do that for the most part. I'll end up saying, "Ok, well I'm just going to do this by myself while you listen to your story" and start an art project on my own, and that usually draws him into it. He despises worksheets because that's all they did in school, so I'm not using them at all.
Thank you for your suggestions. I will check out all that good stuff.
And Moonlight, welcome out of the lurking!

I assumed you meant that you were reading to him, which seemed like a terrific way to deschool. I understand your concern if he's listening to audiobooks, since that's so non-interactive and (potentially) repetitive. Would he enjoy listening to stories if you read to him? If that's the case, you may have more opportunity to connect with each other over the stories, to pause and discuss interesting tangents, to cuddle up and enjoy each other's company. It would also give you much more variety in literary material -- interesting articles from magazines or the local newspaper, non-fiction, challenging picture books with amazing artwork, stories that nurture critical, moral or mathematical thinking -- and it would give you more opportunity to gently steer him towards ideas and subject matter that you think will pique his interest or fill a gap. Books like "The Phantom Tollbooth," or "Penrose The Mathematical Cat" or "The Quiltmaker's Gift" or "Anno's Mysterious Multiplying Jar" or "How Much is a Million" would be great ways to take his comfort and interest in listening to stories and use it to advantage.

Ooh, those books sound good. I will check them out. I read to him every morning, and he loves The Magic Tree House books (which I read) but I guess he's not really interested in picture books anymore-- or maybe just right now-- because he always refuses those. He's listening to _The Mysterious Benedict Society_ series on audio, and it's really long. I like it as much as he does, but maybe I could find some other long chapter books to read to him. Thanks for the suggestions!
He also loves yoga! =)
Kindergarten is so little. He will most certainly not fall behind in math for the rest of his life if he is given a break now.
Have you seen the Life of Fred elementary books? It is a series of math stories. My children love them.
Busy mom and loving it... dd (2/03), ds (6/05), dd (8/07), ds (12/09), ??? due 5/12
Ds is always interested in what 100 looks like in different things (I think we've been looking at 100 since he was 2.5 or 3). So 100 beans in ajar compared to 100 bottle caps or 100 stickers. And simply by virtue of skip counting being easier he learned counting by 2s, 5s, and 10s that way. I was not "teaching" those concepts they just evolved from the project.
If he's not going back to school next year you really have nothing to be concerned about. Even if he is going back to 1st grade most things can be mastered at home in a fraction of the time it takes 30 kids to get through an activity or concept in school. Having taught in schools most of the time is spent getting everyone to do the same thing at the same time not on the actual lesson material anyway.
Other kindergarten age "math" concepts, beyond counting to 100:
Shapes and their names: we love wooden pattern blocks, which we call "picture blocks". It is absolutely a toy, and I treat it as such. Some sets come with patterns to copy, as a puzzle, but we like to just play with them, so I prefer the big bins with only the shapes. Names are learned simply by talking about the shapes. I don't think they have them memorized yet, but I care less about this than their understanding how the shapes interact, both with another similar shape (like rows of hexagons) as well as with different ones.
Pattern recognition: Qwirkle is one fun game for this (we like the qwirkle cubes instead of the original game). Beadwork.
Counting coins: Allowance! I give 1 quarter for each year each week. Keep it small from the start. Now I've been giving them a snack and treat budget each week, the remainder goes into a jar to use for activities. I suppose this is more "money awareness" than counting coins. They are getting that as well, but I think financial skills are the more important.
Telling time: Keep a large clock in easy view, preferably one that can be taken down to look at close-up. I found one with a dial for counting the seconds. This Christmas I also bought them stopwatches, but I'm still learning how to operate the !@$ things.
I'm sure there are a million other ideas, but this gives you the idea that, like others have said, kindergarten-level math is easily learned from daily work and play. I would not sweat the math. I think kids easily catch up when they are ready-- and then watch out! It is quite likely they will both catch up and leap ahead all in one go. I am finding these kinds of things are not even and steady at all! They come in leaps and bounds, then they take a rest. (In my brief experience with this, anyhow. My kids are 6 and 8.)
"She is a mermaid, but approach her with caution. Her mind swims at a depth most would drown in."
Sorry for the delayed response. Life and all that. Thank you so much for these suggestions. I love the idea of counting different items to one hundred, and I've been eyeballing Qwirkle for a while. Time to jump on it.
We do have Life of Fred, but he hasn't been very interested in it.
SweetSilver, I've seen a few sets of wooden pattern blocks. Is there a brand that you recommend?
He loves timing himself, so we've been doing some of that, and he also loves saving his allowance for Bey Blades. We do a lot of baking, too.
I guess it's mostly his writing skills that I've been worried about-- because he is going back to school in the fall (if we find a good fit for him)-- but I've decided that from now till the end of February, we're going to do whatever he wants. This morning we played Battleship for a long time. Now we're going for a walk in the snow.
Thanks so much for the suggestions and the pep talks!
You have quite a lot of time for helping him with the few skills he'll need by the time he goes back to school - it won't take long later even if you let him just relax this year with the things he likes to do. He's so lucky to get this extra time to grow and mature and just be a 5 yr. old - even his writing will come easier after this time out to play and develop. Maybe getting him some chalk and child sized triangular colored pencils could help with that.
Just living and playing will give him all the understanding of it he'll need - especially if he has blocks and legos and things that involve numbers. Counting aloud while you're in the course of doing things with him, mentioning the quantity of food items or quantity and shape of other objects can easily acquaint him with all he needs at this age. The fact that he's interested in listening to stories for great lengths of time would seem to me that he has an active imagination. I'd jump on that and fill his life with lots of wonderful children's books. Enjoy!
Here are descriptions of lots of good children's books having to with various parts of math:

Awww but kindergarten is REALLY little!
I have kids who love to listen to stories. I mean they will do that in preference to almost anything else, and I'm fine with using audiobooks it, for up to a couple of hours a day, maybe more. We read aloud as a family but there is only so much of that that you can do, assuming you have other things to attend to. In particular with them they tend to have stories on while crafting or lego-ing or cooking or whatever, and the stories we have are generally ones where the dramatisation is important. My older two also read a lot, and don't watch much tv (although we don't especially limit it-they are just not that interested if audio books are on offer. Also we have very limited channels available and its a bit of a faff). I would say that they have got SO much out of audiobooks! We also read aloud as a family most nights, I read to them throughout the day at intervals, they read to themselves...you get the picture, a lot of reading happens here.
Although we are not unstructured/unschoolers, there are certainly entire months at a time when not much happens except audiobooks (plus knitting, lego, etc) and reading. I don't know how I'd feel about audiobooks as a child's only source of reading aloud, but I think as a supplement, they are awesome and work very well for a particular kind of multi-tasking kid who needs several parts of their brain occupied for any part to properly function, iywkim.
FWIW when my kids were that small I am not sure they even listened to audiobooks, I think they were just mainly playing. So audiobooks seem like more schooling than my kids were doing
eta sorry just saw he's going back into school. Ok I am not familiar with the US school system but my guess would be that the most helpful single thing he could have on reentry is concentration. Which he will certainly get from doing a lot of listening. IME of my kids (three aged nearly 5 through 9 1/2), writing is largely a maturity thing, and certainly a good way to bring it on would be to develop fine motor skills, probably as helpful as doing any worksheet. Certainly here (UK), also there is a really broad spectrum of abilities expected at this age in school and whatever level he was at could be worked with in the right school (although if I understand rightly you don't have a choice of public school?)
As a public school kindergarten teacher, (who dreams of going back to homeschooling) Reading stories is a great thing to do. Read stories about math- there are tons of them. Read stories about social studies, science, etc. Modeling reading is amazing and most of my students can't sit still for an entire book to save their lives!!!

Help Browser issue in 5.0.1 on Mac OS X
Has anyone noticed a (minor but irritating) bug in 5.0.1 Help Browser on Mac
OS X that wasn't present in 5.0.0?
The browser design in V5 seemed to have gone backward compared to V4 (on the
Mac front end at least). For example in 5.0.0:
Click on Add-ons& Links. The next column brings up the sub folders but no
scroll bar. You need to click on the bottom folder, in this case MathLink,
to bring up the scroll bar and access the folders below MathLink (such as
J/Link, webMathematica and so on. This was irritating.
Now in 5.0.1 the only way to access folders below MathLink in the help
browser is to search for a known folder, eg. By typing MSP and pressing go
the webMathematica folder appears along with a scroll bar in the Add-ons&
Links column. Something is clearly wrong with the Mac OS X HelpBrowser.
Are there any adjustments to the 'hidden' files that users can make to
correct this?
On another issue I've noticed that the frequency of crashes has increased
from virtually zero for 4.2 to regular enough to be noticeable with 5.0. I
haven't kept records or anything but I kinda feel like the crashes are
occurring more often when I have iTunes running (and perhaps when adding or
removing cell tags). Anyone else experiencing this? (on Mac OS X 10.3.2)

Pulled over again by the same cop - Ticket for obstructing windshield, STEVE!
So a few months back I was getting some gas, notice a bike cop (local PD) had a woman pulled over in the gas station. I drive a loud car, so I'm pretty sure this is going to be a hassle when I leave. Of course, officer pulls me over as soon as I leave the station. I am respectful as I usually am with most police officers until they cross a line. This guy, exceeded that. He ticketed me for everything under the sun and told me the reason he pulled me over was my sunglasses were too big. Well.... alright, fine. Told him I was dragging his ass to court and would have everything thrown out.
Fast forward a few months, I drag his ass to court with evidence and all sorts of stuff to get it thrown out. Turns out the moron forgot his paperwork, had 6 cases thrown out and was laid into by the judge.
This morning.
The SAME FUC!IN COP pulls me over. I immediately notice its the same guy so I'm a little hesitant, but still respectful, maybe he changed his ways. Nope. The as*shole decides today hes going to ticket me for everything again (front license plate, clear corners, too low, modified exhaust (all the same sh!t)) and this time the icing on the cake is I have a sticker in my windshield obstructing my view!
Guess its back to court. Think this guy might be targeting my car at this point, any recourse I can take against this officer?
just because you got off on the grounds that the officer wasn't prepared doesn't mean your car still violates your state's vehicle code. he can ticket you every day for the same for the same violations.
Next time show him your tits.
Now that's an idea! Here in hillbilly land most cops don't much care or I'd be screwed on the exaust aspect.
Sent from my VM670 using Bimmer App
You can file a restraining order if this happens a few more times. A friend in Scripps Ranch(San Diego) did this against a cop, as the cop kept pulling him over and ended up issuing him 15 tickets on 15 different occasions, but this only happened twice for you so I'm sure that would be a final recourse if it happened many more times.
talk with your local police department. it won't help you if you get ticketed each time and have to go through the same thing each time. they don't want to waste time either going to court and having things dismissed that are allowed. as much as many people hate the police, most departments actually want to help the citizens in their city, so talking constructively with them can actually be very beneficial.
If what you say is true, the officer has now given you solid grounds for filing an official oppression/unlawful detainment, criminal lawsuit against him and his department, professionally and also against him personally, civilly.
If he now knows (proven instruction by court) that your actions/vehicle are within the vehicle code, he is unlawfully acting towards you under the color of law.
fast forward to today- what violations did "stick" and have you since corrected them?
oh boy....
this is like, what happens in Glendale California.
Good luck OP, its too bad you can't clear all the fix it stuff over at a CHP office over a lunch break and have to waste your time in court.
It's annoying. No doubt about it.
As long as you're respectful, courteous and not breaking any laws... let the cop do his thing, he'll get tired of it soon enough. Who's to say it's not on a quota for the month?
Have a "Thank you and have a nice day" card, just in case he stops you a third time.
Here's a mental attitude > Look at it this way, least you have a police officer watching your back. (Just think if you really needed a cop... and one's where to be found.)
There is no evidence of a complaining party, and there are constitutional loopholes based on this idea.
Check out Marc Stevens on the internets, and you can learn for free, how to politely, and respectfully get out of these type of tickets in the courtroom.
My girfriends father is a friend of Marc and, he has helped people beat tickets using Marc's methods.
It's a defense that can work, but tough against MVC
If your state requires a front plate and you don't have a front plate. Are you honestly questioning why you're getting pulled over?
You openly admit your car is a cop magnet. No front plate, loud exhaust, No registration, and a banner. The only thing you're missing is front tint
The only reason I say all this is because I'm in the same spot you are.
My car currently has a loud exhaust I have tint on all 6 windows of the car. 15% all around and 55% on the front. I have smoked corners as well. My car defiantly turns heads when I drive by local leo's. When they pull me over I'm respectful also, as you stated you are as well. However I can't complain when the leo is just busting my balls lol. I hate it, but I can't get mad because at the end of the day I'm violating local laws.
I think if you had a current registration and fixed the issue with your license the leo wouldn't have busted your stones about the banner and front plate. Clear corners is a new one though.
In my state they are allowed to be clear or amber colored and blink white or amber. Most corners are DOT certified as well.
Good luck to you. I would just recommend that you straighten some of the "Silly" things out and I think you will have a more peaceful driving experience
Just because my car is a cop magnet does not mean it is breaking the law. Like I posted before, all the citations I received were erroneous and all the modifications were within the law. I show respect where respect is given, just because he is a police officer doesn't mean he can pull me over and act like an assh*ole. If he starts mouthing off to me, he's gonna get it right back. It felt awesome to say, 'hey remember last time, yeah, told you'.

Where can i find the MOMO Race Airleather shift knob for a good price? I'm new to this forum, and I've been have some difficulty finding the FS local section. When I say difficulty, I mean it is categorize as south western states. Is there a section where ONLY northern California exists?
I'm not 100% but if I remember right, socal subies, socal f4 and SCIC are all southern california forums. But I'm unaware of any northern california forums.
I do have my 06 WRX shift knob for sale. It'd fit, but even though it's MOMO, subaru got rid of all momo branding in 05 or 06 (can't remember). It looks like black baseball leather and is kind of cool. I got rid of it for my 6spd knob

no. 131 - curt blefary
Who is the man: In 1970, Curt Blefary had returned to the team that had drafted him. He played the year for the Yankees, but by May of 1971 had been traded to Oakland.
What a card: This is the first horizontal card in the set since this card. And I'm wondering if the photos are from the same game, since the same two teams are involved.
Right on: Check out that signature. That's a great one. It takes your attention off the fact that Blefary awkwardly fouled off a pitch.
You see this cat Blefary is a bad mother: Blefary was known to have a temper. When plays didn't go his way, he'd lodge equipment at the dugout wall. There's been speculation that this is what led the Yankees to put the future AL Rookie of the Year on waivers, only to be claimed by the Orioles. But more rational explanations blame the Yankees for leaving him unprotected in error.
Shut your mouth: Blefary's Orioles teammate Frank Robinson called Blefary "Clank" because of his mediocre fielding skills. Once, when the team bus passed a pile of scrap iron, Robinson told Blefary "go get yourself another glove."
No one understands him but his woman: Years after his career, Blefary broke the news to the New York Times that he was an alcoholic and had been since his days in the minor leagues. Until then, Blefary was known for his partying ways, but not pegged as someone who couldn't handle his alcohol.
(A word about the back): Up until this point in his career, Blefary had caught behind the plate only for the Orioles in 1968. This was before the DH, so Blefary was moved there to keep his bat in the lineup.

A Poor fielder (although some reports say he was better than Boog Powell in the the outfield), personal problems, possibly a club house cancer, and underachieving hitting (especially after rookie season) What's not to love?

Oregon Historical County Records Guide
Josephine County Records Inventory
County Commissioners Administrative Journals
Series documents all administrative actions of the board of county commissioners and the county court. In most counties, the board of county commissioners has assumed the administrative duties and responsibilities of the county court. Administrative actions include levying taxes; budgeting; approving appropriations; appointing county officials; approving officials bonds and annual reports; receiving petitions and remonstrances concerning county roads; defining and establishing county roads; calling bond elections for the construction of county buildings; compiling jury lists and conducting hearings; approving salaries and expenses of county officials; confirming elections; and issuing licenses for such things as liquor, ferries, warehouses, and groceries. The series may be referred to as the County Court Administrative Journal, Commissioner's Minutes, County Court Docket, or Board of Commissioners Meeting Records.
The commissioners journals have been recorded in the clerk's Book of Records for some years.
