As recently as early June, the plans for a stadium in Los Angeles to house a future NFL team were described as "essentially dead."
Yet the possibility of a stadium there still has the power to back a city and its citizens against a wall. It has given cities leverage to get taxpayers to build new stadiums or make expensive improvements to old ones—and now, it might subject Oakland and its citizens to the indignity of losing its favorite team to the same city twice in barely three decades.

"Of all the situations, this is the one where moving to LA is most likely to happen,'' said Victor Matheson, a Holy Cross economics professor and, with colleague Robert Baade, author of several studies on public stadium financing.
"It sucks to be an Oakland Raiders fan—not a Raiders fan, but an Oakland Raiders fan,'' Matheson added.
Oakland is on the hot seat because the Raiders' lease with the 47-year-old O.co Coliseum expires after the upcoming season. Owner Mark Davis—the son of Al, who moved the team to LA in 1982—has said he does not want to sign another short-term lease, and a month ago consultants hired by the team proposed a new $800 million, 56,500-seat stadium to local government officials.
The city and county, however, would have to chip in $300 million. With all the other economic challenges facing Oakland, they simply cannot afford it.
But, Matheson pointed out, "The NFL has been masterful in using the LA situation to extract new stadiums out of everybody.''
The Minnesota Vikings are the latest example: Their stadium in Minneapolis is scheduled to break ground this fall and open in 2016. Just over half of the current $975 million cost will come from public money, according to the Vikings.
At the very least, the Colts, Saints, Panthers, Chargers, Rams and Jaguars either have used or are using the specter of moving to Los Angeles as leverage to get either new homes or upgrades from the public, Matheson said, adding that in such cases, "the NFL can really engage in extortion.''

There are a few exceptions among recent new stadiums—but unfortunately for the Raiders, one of them is the 49ers' $1.3 billion palace opening in Santa Clara next season.
That only increases the owner's envy for Davis, Matheson said, and might derail any compromise offer of less-costly renovations to the old stadium.
"The Raiders are going to look across at Santa Clara and say, 'The Niners got a billion-dollar stadium—that's what we want,'' Matheson said. "Owners aren't going to be placated by some freshening up and a coat of paint.''
One other exception to the Los Angeles bait is the Dolphins, Matheson said, even though the team in May lost its bid for $350 million of public money to improve SunLife Stadium—and lost Mike Dee, its CEO and stadium advocate, to the Padres shortly afterward.
The Dolphins have no incentive to leave South Florida, even for LA, Matheson said, and it appears that the fight for the team will be between cities and counties willing to pony up to owner Stephen Ross. Asked by reporters last Thursday about the future of renovating the stadium, Ross said, "Have I given up? The answer is no.''
Ross added that where the stadium currently stands is "the best location.''
"It's harder to use the LA card if you're such an established team in a market like that,'' Matheson said.
The urgency for Oakland and its people is obvious, even with the two proposed Los Angeles stadium projects becoming too expensive and too complicated with ownership demands.
In late July, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said that he envisioned two existing teams eventually landing in Los Angeles. "It's more imminent than any time since we haven't had a team in Los Angeles," he told NFL Network.
Making Oakland's situation even more complicated is the fact that it's already on track to lose the NBA's Golden State Warriors to a new San Francisco arena in 2017, and that the baseball Athletics also want a new stadium.
During last week's local broadcast of the Raiders' preseason game against the Cowboys, the Raiders' announcers pointed out frequently how theirs was the only NFL team left playing in a baseball stadium, and on infield dirt in part of the playing field.
Davis and the Raiders have not commented on the proposal since the presentation to the Oakland-Alameda County Commission was made a month ago Friday. The next commission meeting—with the Raiders' situation on the agenda—was scheduled for this Friday, but was postponed without a new date announced.
City and county officials knew even before the proposal that the clock was ticking. "There is no set deadline … but we know time is not on our side, even if there isn't a deadline," assistant city administrator Fred Blackwell told the Oakland Tribune at the time.
Everybody is also painfully aware that Los Angeles is once again an option—the Raiders' fan that started an online petition to Davis this week named it, "Don't Move to LA."
This time—for the second time—there might be nothing Oakland or its fans can do about it.
It isn't fair to them, Matheson. But, when all factors are considered, "Los Angeles could end up paying less to get the Raiders than Oakland can pay to keep them.''

Did anyone see the interview with Hibbert in which he "chuckled" when asked if DJ was an upgrade over DC. I always loved DJ, but these rave reviews are exciting. Not to mention, Hibbert totally disreguarding DC in comparison to DJ.
I'm sure Hibbert is much more excited to receive good passes in the paint, instead of watching DC slash by him and get blocked at the rim.
witters: @imbtyler, @postgameonline
I'm glad that Roy is happy to have him on the team but I am hoping that he was laughing because someone wanted him to compare p.g. skills.
I certainly can understand his intolerance for O'Brien, it is well documented that several former players (not just Pacers) hated the man.
But let's hope Roy does not stoop to the level of throwing former team mates under the bus because IMO that would just be wrong.
There was nothing wrong with D.C., he was a good soldier & a loyal Pacer when he was here. He just didn't happen to have the exact point guard skills that we needed but that didn't make him a bad p.g. and from everything I have ever read, heard or seen he was an exceptional team mate.
Remember the guy lost his starting job due to an injury something that almost nobody ever believes is the right thing to do but he never uttered a negative word and even said he wanted to return.
So let's all welcome aboard Augistine but there is no need at all to kick D.C. while he is down.

Roy should be excited if an actual pg comes in and eventually starts to make the offense run as opposed to simply relying on shot creators who don't find Roy (or others) in scoring positions. With a point guard who specializes in running an offense, the Pacers would have an offense that would be almost elite, especially if Roy is getting more quality touches.
I just hope everybody is right about Augustin...
DC might have taken the first stab. Playing with Dirk and Kaman is going to make his job A LOT easier, he said in july.
Here is the whole interview:
FWIW, I understand both parties and what they are talking about. Our offensive system didn't favor Collison and even if it will favor him, he doesn't have the PG skills a guy like DJ has.
It's a breakup. Getting overly excited with the new situation is a way to draw a line under the past. They are both good guys, I wouldn't look for too much behind it.

Anyone know where can I watch the interview?
It's good to know the guys already think highly of DJ's game. Im sure it's a breath of fresh air for them to play with a real PG again. There were times last year when I felt bad for Hibbert and West. It can't be easy for big men to play with a PG like Darren, especially when the teams most used player has tunnel vision as well.
If he's as advertised I hope we can find a way to get him 25 mpg. I believe this team has the flexibility to go small with Danny at the 4 this year. All of our wings have size and athleticism. They can all defend and rebound. Even our PG is capable of grabbing 5 a game. In order to get our best players/team on the court I think we may need to go small.
edit: maybe that's why Danny decided to beef up...

Yay, we don't know what we're doing as a franchise! thanks PG!
And all these guys make millions of dollars. I think it's fair game to give them something more than the light feather treatment.
I think Peck's emphasis is important, too. Acknowledge loyalty and good behavior where it occurs. But not at the expense of criticism. These guys are paid to participate in the big leagues, both on the court and in the public eye.

I wonder how George Hill feels about all this "true point guard" talk.
Collison was a good dude. He was well liked as a person. He was not well liked as a player. At all.
"I had to take her down like Chris Brown."
-Lance Stephenson
So DC was brought here specifically because he would be good at running JOB's system? That isn't true. As soon as we acquired him I remember posting that JOB was going to have to change the offense or DC wasn't going to be successful. I mean it doesn't matter now, but DC was never JOB's type of point guard that fit best in his system.
Sorry, but for the record I wasn't the one who first brought up JOB in this thread.
While it is technically true that Collison was injured and while he was unable to play George Hill came in a took the starting job away from him, but really it was rather obvious that the team was much better with Hill as the starter. So whether he was replaced while injured or a little later, it was going to happen . I would argue if Hill hadn't missed a good chunk of the middle part of the season with his own injuries he would have replaced DC 30 games earlier

I have a problem with thinking that Roy was throwing DC under the bus. I remember an interview with Roy a while back in which he was asked who he was closest with on the team. He answered that it was Collison. He may have just chuckled because he was uncomfortable with the question, or something close to that. It is simply not in Roy's nature (in my opinion) to talk down a teammate.
I thought it would happen when we acquired Hill in draft night. Though Hill isn't a PERFECT fit, I've always just thought he was a better fit for the starters than DC was.
Even on the worst team last year, DJ still managed to rack up plenty of assists. That's what gets me excited to have him on this team.
He's a good PnR guy.
The only reference to this 'interview' I'm aware of is a Tweet from Wells yesterday. I don't know of this being an interview that is in print in an article or blog, or of this being audio or video anywhere. I think it was meant as more of an off-the-cuff comment from Wells.
But don't let that stop us from overreacting.
I remember early in the season Vogel hinted that he really had two starters at the point and when he was asked whether Hill would replace DC he sort of just said not at this time.
Well JOB wanted to push the tempo and shoot early and often which fits DC. I persoanlly don't think JOB has a system for a pg other than scoring.
Small ball is not JOB ball. JOB ball is put a feather-weight PF, who steals rebounds, hovers at the three, and is incapable of playing low post defense. Through Roy next to Danny and I think you have a better combo. We are going to have to play small ball in the playoffs. Melo, Lebron, Gerald Wallace, Thad Young, and Durant will all play minutes at the 4.
Hill creates what ends up being, in my opinion, a really good problem.
He's a tweener, so you can imagine a true point taking his minutes at one. You can also imagine a taller 2 man taking his minutes there.
However, he is so darn clutch, so good down the stretch at making decisions, so smart and such an important defender, you just have to play him at the end of games.
It is frustrating for us as we work with ideals on paper in our armchairs, but you can't have too many players with Hill's game time performance. Just ask Pop.
"Look, it's up to me to put a team around ... Lance right now." Kevin Pritchard press conference
This is the exact reason why I have been clamoring for Granger to develop a low post game FOR YEARS NOW! It drives me absolutely f-ing crazy, that DG hasn't show a willingness to play ball within the three point line. He has that little mid-range pull up jumper which is perfect playing the four. If he could post, we would have better roster options, but you absolutely cannot afford to play Danny at PF if we have four players on the perimeter offensively.
Another thing I wanted to mention with regard to Hibbert is this:
Why hasn't he tried shooting his jumpshots off the back glass. Go Tim Duncan style from the mid-range with the touch he has. I think it would improve his shot percentage from mid-range. Also, if he starts shooting that from the elbow, it will provide WAY more offensive rebound opportunities for him as the ball will be coming back towards him off the rim on misses. Hibbert is an offensive rebounding nightmare for other teams, because he doesn't have to time his jumps to get a hand on the ball. Especially with the soft touch he has. It will allow him to stretch the defense a bit more for drives from the perimeter. An open rim for GG and PG would have them both drooling for Top Ten Highlight reel dunks. Hibbert would allow more space for West to work on the weakside as well. I don't want Hibbert that far from the basket mind you, the last thing I want is JOB ball, but I think Hibbert's man really sagged off him pretty hard after he went foul line-extended. Hibbert has the touch and passing to make himself more of a match-up nightmare offensively, which is what we want. We need him to open things up for everyone else. And even a couple of "JOB's patented backdoor cuts" would be a welcome sight....
"Your course, your path, is not going to be like mine," West says. "Everybody is not called to be a multimillionaire. Everybody's not called to be the president. Whatever your best work is, you do it. Do it well. You cease your own greatness when you aspire to be someone else."
So what do we do if DJ ends up beating out Hill?
Seriously, as fans this is Not Our Problem because it means DJ is a good enough distributing PG to start.
We only have to worry if it somehow pisses off Hill and poisons the locker room, and I don't see that happening really.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Or throw in a first-round pick and flip it for a max-level point guard...
Explain the scenario where this happens. How badly does Hill have to be playing?

New York Yankees left-hander Andy Pettitte took another important step toward his eventual return by throwing a simulated game Wednesday, according to the New York Daily News.
It marked the first time Pettitte had faced hitters since suffering a fracture in his lower left leg when he was hit by a comebacker on June 27. The Yankees still haven't announced an official date for his return, and the newspaper reports Pettitte has yet to begin running. He will throw another simulated game this weekend.
"I felt like I threw the ball well," Pettitte told the Daily News. "I felt like I was pushing off full. I almost tried to make it like a game, so it was a good day. For me, it's a good way to ramp it up pretty quick."
With less than a month remaining in the regular season, time is running out for Pettitte to return to the rotation in preparation for a possible trip to the postseason.
Pettitte, 40, was 3-3 with a 3.22 ERA in nine starts before the injury. After sitting out all of last season, he announced during spring training he would begin a comeback this season. He showed some rust in his debut on May 13 but soon settled into a groove and pitched well.

Parks College Receives Henry Luce Foundation Award
November 13, 2012
Aerospace & Mechanical Engineering, Air Force ROTC, Aviation Science, Biomedical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical & Computer Engineering, Parks College News, Physics
The grant will support two fellowships for graduate women in engineering.
The Henry Luce Foundation, through the Clare Boothe Luce (CBL) Program, has awarded Saint Louis University's Parks College of Engineering, Aviation and Technology $127,192 to support two fellowships for graduate women in engineering. The University will provide an additional $68,000 toward costs, bringing the total offered to $195,192 over two years for two outstanding women to pursue doctoral degrees in engineering fields.
This is the fifth grant award to Saint Louis University under the CBL program since 1990, but the first grant to support fellowships in engineering.
Phillip Ligrani, Ph.D., Oliver L. Parks Endowed Chair and Professor of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering, said the fellowships will provide unique and exciting opportunities for exemplary female graduate students who want to pursue Ph.D. studies at Parks.
"The students will benefit from programs which are uniquely structured to meet specific academic and career goals as cutting-edge research activities are undertaken to bring multiple perspectives to solve challenging and current scientific and societal programs," Ligrani said.
"The emphasis on educating the whole person in a manner consistent with Catholic, Jesuit traditions will make these graduate studies experiences at SLU especially rewarding," Ligrani added.
Ligrani, who also is Director of Graduate Programs for Parks College as well as a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and Distinguished Advisory Professor at Inje University in Gimhae, Korea, will lead a special committee to oversee the recruitment, selection and mentoring of the CBL Fellows.
The CBL Program strives to increase the participation of women in the sciences and engineering at every level of higher education and to serve as a catalyst for colleges and universities to be proactive in their own efforts toward this goal. The CBL program is the single largest private source of funding for women in science and engineering. Candidates for the fellowships must be U.S. citizens.
Theodosios Alexander, Sc.D., Dean of Parks College, said it is very exciting to offer this award for the two outstanding Ph.D. candidates.
"I believe that Parks College will be able to offer a world-class experience for the recipients of the grant," Alexander said. "With the guidance of our faculty members, these graduate students will be able to make world-leading contributions to their fields in the future."
Since its inception in 1989, grants totaling over $120 million have been made to 152 different colleges and universities. These grants have benefited more than 1,550 women with undergraduate research awards, undergraduate scholarships, graduate fellowships, postdoctoral fellowships or professorships.
Clare Boothe Luce (1903-1987) was a remarkable woman whose career spanned seven decades and included many professional interests: journalism, politics, theater, diplomacy and intelligence. Under the terms of her will, she chose to establish a legacy that would benefit current and future generations of women with talent and ambition in areas where they continue to be extremely underrepresented – the sciences and engineering. Half of all awards made under the CBL Program must go to Roman Catholic colleges or universities, as specified by Mrs. Luce. Mrs. Luce was the wife of Henry R. Luce, founder of the Henry Luce Foundation and co-founder and editor-in-chief of Time, Inc.
For more information about the Clare Boothe Luce Fellowships at Parks College of Engineering, Aviation and Technology, contact Dr. Phillip Ligrani at firstname.lastname@example.com.

I hate the Cardinals. I hate the Cubs.
Let's. Go. Reds.
"Per Aspera Ad Astra"
Just read the last 10 pages in the "Cueto gets suspended 7 games" thread...the entire thing is just pitiful.
"Today was the byproduct of us thinking we can come back from anything." - Joey Votto after blowing a 10-1 lead and holding on for the 12-11 win on 8/25/2010.
Thank you for your feedback. It's not really what any of us wanted to do, but I've made a temporary change: registration is still open, but new members are not allowed to post without first being approved by an administrator/moderator. In the 10+ years of running this site, this sort of problem has never come about, so excuse us if we were unprepared because it was unexpected. On one hand, it's refreshing to see the Reds playing well enough to provoke this kind of reaction from fans of a rival team.
In the meantime, please continue reporting any posts that violate the rules of the board and we'll deal with them accordingly. Thank you for your patience.
Everyone, some of us Cardinals fans are here to have a different perspective from a different fan base. I'm honestly here to talk baseball and get to know what Reds fans think about the Reds, Cardinals, our division and baseball in general. I hope to have many civil discussions with Reds fans.
Certainly. I didnt want to come off sounding like I was giving the mods trouble or suggesting you guys are failures. I know there is a huge flood of just nonsense posters and I understand you guys dont want to curb registrations because of the Reds winning. I totally understand that and would do the same thing.
I also totally appreciate that you guys are willing to do what you guys are doing. I know its probably a pain but I'm sure everyone is greatful.
Very very reasonable actions.
I can understand why some posters would act the way they did. It's hard to tell who is and who isn't trolling. I'm okay with a few people questioning me, but it gets out of hand when they start to rip the opposing fans who haven't done anything to provoke the posters. It's going to take awhile for some posters to get used to other fans posting on their home team's message board. I can also understand why you are taking steps to prevent from more trolling to occur, which I think is a really great move.
Hey, take it as kind of a compliment for your site - I've found here (minus the nonsense posts) to be far better reading than the redbird board the past few days.
What if this wasn't a rhetorical question?
All models are wrong. Some of them are useful.
I know it's not going to happen but I wouldn't mind getting the other teams more mature fans/posters opinions in the ORG.While I know there are some other teams represented there diversity is lacking.Considering what the forum is and the rules(that are fine by the way)this is to be expected.
While it's a lot more work for the mods, it seem like this would be an opportunity for some of the better posters in the sun deck to interact with some other teams(i know it's mostly Cards) fans.This is something that ORG members don't have unless we want to join another teams site and be labeled trolls ourselves.With this stuff going on it makes me think that there could be some use in a forum that allows members(along with all the new members) in the sun deck and ORG members to discuss all things that are baseball.Preventing this seems to be the reason for the ORG and it's understood.After all there are no troll in our forum.I know moderating such a forum would be difficult but it does seem like there could be some benefits.
I don't know if some of you remember me or not, but I am a Cardinals fan who used to post on here 10 years ago (notice my join date and post totals), up until about 2003 (or whenever the registration process was first changed). The only reason I quit posting is because I was under the impression that, as with the main forum, only certain people were allowed to post now. I had tried to log in a few times but was never able to. I have lurked for the past 7 years however.
I feel bad that so many Cardinals fans are trashing your forum. They do not represent us as a whole. I don't know where they came from either as the Cardinals forum I post on regularly did not mention this place or link to it. Back when the Cards and Reds were both in contention in 2000, we had several Reds fans (Team Casey, Team Boone, etc) over posting on our site, and we would post here. It was ALWAYS friendly.
I can't speak for the rest of Cardinal nation, but I am only here because I love talking baseball and right now, it's all about the Cardinals and Reds to me. I promise I will never flame or cause trouble.
(Watching a couple kissing at Busch Stadium) Well, hes kissing her on the strikes and shes kissing him on the balls.---a classic "Shannonism" from Cardinals broadcaster Mike Shannon
I enjoy talking baseball with anyone. My philosophy is this about opponents' fans joining in the discussions here:
Good fan: ones that come over to talk strategy, personnel, decision-making, schedules, players, etc. They're pointing out stats and reasons why they are high or low on their own club as well as even the Reds. When a controversial topic arises, they're not afraid to give an opinion (as they should) but it's done in a politeful way and only based on their own philosophy, and not derogatory to others.
Bad fan: continues to point out how Reds fans are "homers." Focuses on belittling the actions of Reds players, especially the ones involved in last week's 'brawl.' More intent on focusing on alleged irrationality of posters and their responses than actually talking baseball. If you're here to mock the opinions of Reds fans, you shouldn't be here. If you find yourself in a conversation that is heading that direction, your true colors quickly come out. Bad posters make it about others instead of about them.
Personally, I'll take all the good posters we can find, regardless of fandom. But the bad ones... weed them out quickly!
"No matter how good you are, you're going to lose one-third of your games. No matter how bad you are you're going to win one-third of your games. It's the other third that makes the difference." ~Tommy Lasorda
the problem was just that the bad posters were so plentiful that it had everyone on edge, giving every cardinal fan a bad wrap, and that it was bringing the worst out of people who genuinely were pretty good posters. It was just a tornado of trash filling it up.
It's certainly calmed down as of late, still not perfect but it has calmed for sure. I'm guessing the storm it over.

Guest Since 1981
When I read about Paradise Point's 50th anniversary, I knew I had to share my story, as our family has been enjoying the resort for over 30 years. Looking through our photos of vacations over the years, you can see our sons age from very young to teenagers to college age and finally, full grown adults. Some of the early photos are stamped 1981 and the most recent ones, showing my husband sitting in one of the lagoon pagodas with gray hair, are stamped November 2010.
I fondly look back at the pictures of the boys enjoying various activities with their dad - biking, playing ping pong, playing shuffleboard, and of course sailing on Mission Bay.
Especially poignant is a postcard from the Barefoot Bar & Grill which I sent to my mother on our very first visit. In the margins, I describe the resort and all its activities and tell her how excited we are to be there.

Peel Away™ 2" Seedling Pot Kit
This item is currently not available.
Additional Information
Exclusive | Enjoy Seedstarting Success with the Peel Away™ Seedling Pot Kit
- 2" square pots are just the right size for starting seeds
- Reusable fabric pots air-prune roots for healthier transplants
- Self-watering tray keeps soil moist and reduces watering chores
- Choice of Red or Brown
- Set of 12 pots with tray
The Peel Away™ Seedling Pot Kit is an innovative, effective and convenient seedstarting system. The pots are made from VELCRO® brand fabric, which air-prunes roots so plants form healthy, dense root systems. This ensures optimal water and nutrient uptake and eliminates spiraling, which results in vigorous, robust plants. The self-watering tray uses a reservoir and a wicking capillary mat to deliver water to plants as they need it, eliminating over- and under-watering and minimizing problems with damping off. When it's time to transplant your seedlings, the peel-away sides make it easy to remove plants without disturbing roots, minimizing transplant shock. Pots are washable, reusable and store flat. The Peel Away Seedling Pot Kit includes twelve 2" square pots plus a self-watering tray.
Product Details
- VELCRO® brand fabric, recycled plastic, polypropylene
- Pots are 2" square x 2" H
- Reservoir holds 5 cups of water
- Handwash pots and tray for reuse
- VELCRO® is a registered trademark of Velcro Industries B.V.
- Imported
- Gardener's Supply Exclusive

Reviewed by 7 customers
Use for quick seed starters and winter herbs inside.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Convenient
- Mold Free
- Good Value If Reusable
Best Uses
My first batch of seedlings looks quite healthy. The bottom-watering action is uniform (unlike a couple of other systems I've bought). Best of all, there is no mold - quite a difference from peat pots. I had no problem with assembly, and I am in my 70s with arthritic hands. A perfect score would depend on re-usability.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
I feel mixed about these little pots. Had high hopes for them. But because the fabric inside is a texture, the roots get caught on them and tear when you remove the cube from the pots. I'm thinking of placing a thin piece of cardboard on the bottom next time I use them.
But I do like that they are reusable. I use a soil block press and that's good for small seeds. For larger seeds like squash and cucumbers these were great.
- Easy to store
- Easy to use
- Easy To Water
- Reusable
Best Uses
- Seed starting
I used the 2" pots to start seeds in 2014 and am ordering two more for 2015. I loved using them! I started my tomatoes, squash, and eggplant in these. I found them easy to use: I lined up the holes on the bottom first before attaching the sides. It's best to use all of them in the tray so that they keep their square shape. The self-watering (wicking mat) was a nice feature for a novice seed starter. It was easy to lift up the tray to see if it needed more water. Once the plants were big enough, I transferred them to newspaper (origami) pots. It was easy to remove the baby plants and all of their soil without harming them or the roots. When the season was over, I rinsed them out and dried them outside. Then I stacked them flat and put them in a small box. I bought these because they're reusable and store flat. I'm so glad I did!
- Was this a gift?:
- No
the pots do not air prune roots at all, they actually entangle them on the sides and bottom, so you are actually ripping roots off when you remove them to plant. whats wrong with the regular plastic pots , you can see through the drainage holes when they are ready to transplant and that works just fine. This is an unecessary invention it really has no positive extra benefits compared to conventional pots. i say dont bother with these overpriced useless pots.
- Was this a gift?:
- Yes
- Flimsy
- Hard to put together
- Too small
Best Uses
I intended to use these pots for seedlings that had sprouted on pellets. However, the Velcro edges were very difficult to line up square. The material was too soft to function as a pot. Worst of all, they were too small to be of any use anyway. Completely bad idea.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Reusable
- Large Drainage Holes
Best Uses
I ordered two sets of the pot kit. They came with instructions on putting together the pots, but nothing about using the tray. For example, should I put water in the tray first, then the capillary mat, then pots? I first tried placing filled pots onto a dry tray and I think I run the risk of floating the seeds out of the medium. It seems obvious after making the mistake, but wish I had the Peel-away seed starting kit guide for dummies. My young son helped put together one kit and it was an example of why the pots need to be square (so that all 12 fit into one tray). I bought the red color, which is rather attractive, but may prove to be a sub-optimal choice later if the soil stains them. I plan to update after more use.
- Was this a gift?:

Hill has made two boneheaded plays but to say anything means you're a Hill hater.
uh oh, West went for the end of the half rebound again...
They heard everyone touting their wonderful defense over the past two days so they thought Phoenix would cower in fear. Just gave up 62 pts. Come on man!!
Paul George is hitting impossible shots and we're still down 13. Not good.
I'm Sorry JOEY! Its not a foul just cause the player is too close to the jump shooter. Dragic landed just fine. Its only a ****ing foul if he landed on Hill's foot or something or stumbled back. You can't call a foul on ZERO contact.
You can't get champagne from a garden hose.
In an 82 game season, there will be 10 games you can't miss and 10 games they can't miss. This is looking like one of the latter.
Hopefully the 2nd half will be different.
Thats what happens when you turn it over what 12 times to a team like this and don't box out
Time for Vogel pep talk, or he could bring in Bobby Knight for this one. I think they could use a good kick in *** for that defense.
They made shots. Defense was fine. Suns could play the exact same way and put up 30 in the second half.
There is no NBA player named Monte Ellis.
Surprisingly, we only gave up one offensive board (a Plumlee put-back dunk).
And let them get to the rim regularly.
Defense wasn't good at all. Giving guys too many uncontested layups and shots at the rim. Perimeter guys have to keep their guy in front of them.
I wonder if we see less of Hill, hes slowed a step it looks like and that seems to be affecting our disruption of passing lanes
Joey can do what he wants, hell, he has made up Joey rules and them T up the player for questioning it. Joey does what he wants, Period. Can't wait for his retirement. I will celebrate!
Garbage players get 1st round picks, (WTF)! All of the NBA must hate the Pacers! LOL
Sucks that the Pacers are losing but.......way to go Miles. I always said on this Forum that you could play falling on deaf ears a lot of times. I wanted Plumlee playing ahead of Mahinmi last year. Also...how the heck are the Pacers making Gerald Green look like an All Star? Revenge of the Green so far I would say.
Plumlee would still be struggling in our system
Somebody needs to buy Joey some Haribo Sugarless Gummy Bears at half-time.
You can't get champagne from a garden hose.
I would agree with you most of the time but we gave up 60 points in a half to Pacer cast offs. Wow!
This is awesome. You want to provide the link or you want me to?
There is no NBA player named Monte Ellis.
The 3rd may be a good time to try starting Lance at the point. It's a risk but Hill isn't looking good tonight. Put PG on Dragic, Danny on Green and Lance on Tucker. I doubt if Vogel changes much though, if anything he'll give a little more pt to Watson.
I really just thought they made some tough shots. Yea, a couple of them were uncontested. A couple fouls were kind of frustrating, but its not over.
There is no NBA player named Monte Ellis.
And then some members love to just rip Pacers fans who don't support the team as much as he or she wants them to.
There is no NBA player named Monte Ellis.

Bay's home run highlights 'B' game win
PEORIA, Ariz. -- Right fielder Jason Bay hit a three-run home run in the first inning as the Mariners topped the Padres, 6-3, in an informal six-inning 'B' game Saturday morning at Peoria Stadium.
Bay's opposite-field launch over the 385-foot fence in right-center continued his strong spring start, but won't count in Cactus League statistics since "B" games are unofficial. Bay is hitting .400 with two home runs and four RBIs in 15 official at-bats. He went 1-for-2 with two walks in Saturday's non-counter.
The Mariners scheduled the extra contest after Friday's game was canceled in the fourth inning by rain, leaving some of their pitchers needing extra work.
Veteran left-hander Joe Saunders gave up three runs (two earned) on four hits in 2 2/3 innings while throwing 53 pitches. Logan Bawcom pitched 1 1/3 innings of relief, allowing three hits and no runs with a walk and two strikeouts, while Danny Farquhar struck out two in a perfect sixth inning.
The Padres threw several young pitching prospects in the game, with Seattle pounding lefty Robbie Erlin for four runs on six hits and an error in the first before the inning was halted with no outs because Erlin had reached his pitch limit. Erlin pitched in Double-A last year.
San Diego's Jonathan Galvez hit a two-run, inside-the-park home run off Saunders in the first when left fielder Eric Thames and center fielder Francisco Martinez nearly collided as the ball bounded high off the fence in left-center and rolled halfway back to the infield.
Jesus Montero tripled for Seattle in the third inning on a blast off the right-center field wall, while Vinnie Catricala went 2-for-2 with a walk.

TORONTO — For 29 years, Judy, now in her late 50s, lived what appeared to be an idyllic life.
Wife of a dentist, Judy (not her real name) had two sons, a beautiful home, and was able to travel a good deal.
About five years ago, however, she read a CJN article about domestic violence, and identified with the woman in the article. "I recognized myself," she said in an interview.
Judy, now divorced, is part of the speakers bureau co-ordinated by Act to End Violence Against Women and made up of women survivors and professionals in the Toronto area.
The goal of the speakers bureau is to educate the public about the widespread incidence of violence against women and to underline its impact by sharing real life, personal stories told by survivors of violence.
Judy said that from early on in her marriage, her husband blamed her for everything. "He made me the person responsible for all his actions. He swore at me and called me names.
"He manipulated me, and my self-esteem began to erode. He made me feel guilty, and I kept having to defend myself."
After reading the article, she said, she began to respond differently to his behaviour, "and his abuse increased. When he began intercepting my e-mail, though, that was the last straw."
Judy said that until she met Penny Krowitz, executive director of Act to End Violence Against Women, Judy did not consider herself abused. "Like many people, I thought abuse had to be physical. I didn't realize there is all kinds of abuse."
Krowitz, whose organization offers workshops, educational materials and programs on dating abuse and violence against women, said that people do not recognize the subtle nature of abuse and how it affects psyches. "Abuse can be verbal, sexual, financial, emotional – abuse is abuse, and no group is immune."
Abuse is an imbalance of power, she said, and it is unjust. "[Our mandate] is to help women live safe and secure lives."
Judy said she joined the organization's speakers bureau because she wanted to put a face on abuse. "It's a disease that can affect anyone. Penny validated me, and gave me a place to talk. It is a powerful way to spread the word. When someone hears me, they say, 'It could be me.'
"I am one of the lucky ones who got out. My lifestyle changed drastically, but I have peace. It feels like 29 years were wiped out of my life, and I do get lonely sometimes, but no one yells at me anymore. I have no regrets."

With a Main Array in Hibernation, What's Next for SETI?
Location: Atacama Desert, Chile
Debut: 2011
Images in: Visible light
One of the newest telescopes in the world, the VLT Survey Telescope (VST) opened this summer in northern Chile with shots of the Omega Nebula in never-before-seen detail. The 2.6-meter telescope has a 268-megapixel camera. Over the next five years, the VST will be making detailed surveys of the southern sky so astronomers around the world can analyze them. The VST is the largest telescope in the world that is made exclusively to survey the sky in visible light, and it has a field view of roughly four full moons. Its huge survey range is meant for exploring the large-scale structure of the universe as visible from the southern hemisphere.
Location: La Silla Observatory, Chile
Debut: 2010
Images in: Visible light
Another Chilean telescope, known as TRAPPIST, opened up last June. Short for TRAnsiting Planets and PlanetesImals Small Telescope (quite the mouthful), the scope is dedicated to studying planetary systems through two different methods: detecting and characterizing planets outside our solar system and studying comets orbiting the sun, because they're believed to have been a major factor in the appearance and development of life on Earth. While the telescope is located in Chile, it is remotely controlled from more than 7400 miles away in Liege, Belgium, by a collaboration of the University of Liege and the Geneva Observatory in Switzerland.
By detecting what are known as brightness dips from distant planets, the telescope will be able to tell the size of the planet based on the amount of light blocked (the more light blocked, the larger the planet). Its first-light image was this large panoramic view of the Tarantula Nebula, a galaxy located roughly 160,000 light-years from Earth.

SAN DIEGO, CA - Finding big time performances has proven to be an easy task on the second day of the adidas Phenom150 camp. Stephan Van Treese dominated down low as he arrived to the camp a day late after visiting a Big Ten school. A number of other young prospects shined as well and put their respective names on our watch list going into the summer.
Big man makes big entrance
Stephan Van Treese arrived to the camp a day late because he was at Indiana University on Friday but the big man from Lawrence North (Ind.) High School stepped into the game situations with little problem on Saturday.
There isn't a better big man in the camp and there isn't a body that can stop him down low. He's just too big, too athletic and too broad to contain let alone stop.
He may have been the body that Greg Oden banged against in practice last year, but Van Treese has a Josh McRoberts quality to his game. Van Treese is bigger and stronger at this stage of the game the Duke big man. McRoberts could shooter it much better. But know this much: Van Treese is one of the top big men in his class, just like McRoberts was. Early offers from Ohio State, Indiana and Purdue certainly help prove that home.
Surprise, surprise
Events like the Phenom150 camp will almost certainly yield a name that will find its way to the high-major watch list. Brendan Lane of Rocklin (Calif.) High School was Saturday's guy.
The 6-foot-8, 190-pound forward emerged as one of the top big men at the camp because, well, he played like a big man. Lane ran the floor well, used his length to rebound and showed a good looking turn around jumper. He kept his motor running the entire game and keyed in on the things that were being coached his way.
Lane will play with the 17 and under NorCal Pharaohs at the Reebok Big Time tournament in Las Vegas next month.
Lane said he has heard from UCLA, Arizona, Florida and Fresno State early in the process. Florida invited him to its elite camp last week, he said, but couldn't make the cross-country trip.
One of the easiest ways to find the real prospects at a camp that has boast hundreds of players is finding those with the fundamentals of the game. Jump shooting is one of the best things to find. San Francisco guard Teandre Hubbard has one. And he had it working on Saturday afternoon.
The well-built 6-foot, 155-pound guard from Sacred Heart Cathedral was connecting from all points of the floor. Hubbard did a good job of going baseline and then stopping on a dime and sinking in a good looking jumper. Hubbard will play at UCLA's elite camp next week and has interest from the Bruins, Arizona, Notre Dame, Stanford and Washington, he said.
Stevie Rogers is the envy of the camp. As the point guard on one of the top two teams, Rogers has weapons at every position and he knows how to use them. The 5-foot-10, 140-pound point guard from Houston's Strake Jesuit High School was a blur with the ball and an excellent distributor on offense. It's no wonder why the Houstonians are calling him the next good floor general from the big Lone Star city. Rogers said Oklahoma, Illinois, Texas, Texas Tech, Texas A&M and Florida are showing an early interest.
Rogers's high school teammate Joey Brooks, a 6-foot-4 wing, has impressed with his crafty and athletic game. He attacked the basket with confidence and quickness. Brooks plays on the 17 and under T-Mac All-Stars team but has patiently waited his turn on the AAU circuit. Brooks has taken advantage of his opportunity so far at the camp.
Vondrae Tostenson of Creighton Prep in Omaha, Neb., is a two-sport prospect with interest from a number of big schools in each sport. The 6-foot-5 combo forward said he is hearing from the majority of the Big 12 for both sports. He recently attended Florida's team camp, and counts the Gators as well as Florida State, Miami, Kansas, Kansas State and Nebraska as his early suitors.
Notes from the notepad
Tucker Halpern, a 6-foot-7 prospect from Noble and Greenough School
(Boston, Mass.), was Mr. Fundamental at the power forward position. The righty scored with his off hand, ran the floor well, gave guards a good target to throw to on the blocks and even stepped out and sank a three-pointer. He isn't an explosive of an athlete but plays well enough and smart enough to make himself a valuable contributor at the camp.
Wyatt Smith, a 6-foot-4 wing, opened some eyes, with his good looking jumper. The lefty from Maryland is long, lanky and knocked down a couple of good looking jumpers from the elbow.
Jeronne Maymon is a long fluid athlete from Madison (Wisc.) Memorial High School and he has shown flashes of good things when we have watched him. Other coaches in the camp even said he might be one of the top five players at the camp. That is still up in the air but the 6-foot-6 forward does just about everything well.
With a majority of the camp watching Van Treese do his thing on the center court, Hollis Thompson took advantage of all of the eyes on his floor. Thompson, a 6-foot-6 forward, attacked the basket with the dribble and matched anyone with athleticism. He has been one of the bigger surprises of the camp. As a rebounder, he has carved his niche out on his squad.
Chad Adams, a 6-foot-5 wing from New Mexico, has had a good camp. He's always involved in plays in one way or another.
When it comes to finding pure prospects, Rome Draper might be one of the top guys here. He has the size (6-5), length, raw skills, athleticism and a good looking jumper. The Etiwanda (Calif.) High School product said his early recruitment has drawn the Pac-10.
When it comes to having those wow moments, Michael Dixon of Lee Summit (Mo.) High School was the one of the top guys on Saturday. The 6-footer exploded to the basket time and time again. He connected on several difficult shots and challenged opposing guards to stop him from getting into the paint.
Darian Kelly, one of the top 2009 guards in the camp, said his initial school list includes Kansas, Florida, Penn State and Missouri.
Hi my name is…
What a difference a year makes. The talent level between the players in the class of 2009 and class of 2010 is remarkably different. The rising freshmen class has yet to see any action at the high school level and it shows with the way the kids have been playing here. It's a step slower, kids aren't the athletes that the 2009 prospects are and the speed of the game is just a step behind.
With that in mind, finding top prospects in the 2010 class is a bit of an easier task here at the camp. The better players stand out much more than the older players and a number of kids made strong impressions.
Josh Selby has that 'it' factor to him. He has it; the confidence, the toughness, the size, the skills. It is all there. The 6-foot-1 guard from Baltimore is a good looking rebounding guard that passes the ball very well and found ways to get the ball through the rim.
Josh Turner had his own cheering section in the late evening session. The 6-foot-4 guard gave the peanut gallery plenty to yell about, too. The rising freshman played above the rim and even put a smile on the oppositions face at times. Physically, the Connecticut native is far more advanced than most kids his age here. And he plays like it. He has been one of the better prospects in his class so far.
Coming into the camp with a big reputation in the class of 2010, Tony Chenault lived up to the early chatter that follows him on Saturday. Simply put, Chenault made plays.
The Neumann-Goretti (Pa.) guard would have made his Philly friends proud with his tough and gritty play. He mixed up his offense with an array of moves but his bread and butter is getting into the lane and scoring on defenders. His passing ability stepped up a notch and distributed the ball pretty well.
He's not the most athletic guy in his class but he's a playmaker. There are skills there and after a high school career in the guard factory known as Philadelphia, he'll be a good looking Big East level guy that fits into the mold of Kyle Lowry and Sean Singletary.
Sticking with the Philadelphia chatter, Rakeem Brookins certainly earned the respect he gained on Saturday with his good play. He is a point guard that knows he is a point guard. Brookins was dropping assists and patiently took his shots, and converted more times than not. The 5-foot-10 floor general has that same Philly confidence that the Philly guys have.
Trey Zeigler, the son of UCLA assistant Ernie Zeigler, has been one of the top prospects so far in his class. The 6-foot-3 wing is bigger and stronger than most and he has used that too his advantage by muscling guys around down low. He has some point skills to him, too.
North Carolina wing Keith Jordan Downing is long, can shoot it, has great hands and sunk home a couple of three-pointers. He'll be one to watch in the Tar Heel State over the next couple of years.

This review is from Laser & Ink Jet Rotary Cards 5385:
Being able to print up my Rolodex cards on the computer instead of hand writing is something I've wished for a long time. I LOVE this. The downside is my Rolodex wheel was the small one that takes 1 3/4 X 3 1/4 size cards and Avery doesn't have that size templates. I had to go back and buy the large size Rolodex wheel for these 2 1/6 X 4 cards. By the time I paid for the new wheel and the 5385 cards it was an amount of money the average person at home might not want to spend unless you're an organization freak like me. That being said I love it and can't wait to get started creating.
This review is from Laser & Ink Jet Rotary Cards 5386:
Easy to follow instructions. Good quality paper and perforated lines are nice and smooth. Does not rip when tearing them apart.
This review is from Laser & Ink Jet Rotary Cards 5385:
What a great product - I had to create Rolodex files for a couple of different departments so these were a true find ... so much easier to fill in the template and not have to handwrite 500 cards!!
This review is from Laser & Ink Jet Rotary Cards 5385:
The Avery small rotary cards (#5385) are great! I use them daily to update our address file for nursing staff at our hospital. They run through the printer easily and the perforations come apart easily after printing. The paper is heavyweight and doesn't "peel" on the edges after frequent use. My ONLY critique would be for the top edges to be rounded, but otherwise I LOVE the product!
This review is from Laser & Ink Jet Rotary Cards 5386:
I use these to print from my ACT! database. It really works. They hold together in the printer, and fit the Rolodex frame perfectly.

I have a deep eyebrow scar. What treatment would you recommend? And what is the expected outcome? (photos)
Doctor Answers 2
Scar therapy
The gold standard for scar therapy is pressure and time - occasionally a year or more. If this fails then scar revision surgery may be considered. Although the results of scar therapy vary from person to person and scar to scar, the results are considered permanent.
Not infrequently potential patients avoid surgery because fear of an unsightly scar. To remedy this, I now utilize and formulate compounded topical creams to treat, relieve and minimize scars for each of my patients:
• new scars
• old scars
• surgical scars
• keloid scars
• stretch marks
• hypertrophic scars
• hyperpigmented (dark) scars
• various acne scars, and more...
These scar removal creams contain prescription strength medications each individually known to reduce and/or reverse the scarring process but never before compounded together into one high potency formulation. These medications are added to a base of anhydrous silicone (the most common ingredient in everyday topical scar therapy) and Pracaxi oil, found in the Amazon rainforest and known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, and antifungal properties. Many health insurance plans actually cover the cost of the creams and they can be delivered directly to the patients door step. In other words, no need for multiple trips to the doctor for expensive and painful laser treatments, or wasted money on minimally effective over-the-counter topical scar therapy gels or silicone sheets that are unsightly and/or fail to stay on. Instead, with just two applications a day my patients now perform scar therapy in the comfort of their own home. Glad to help.

"Eighty per cent of our revenues are from products that didn't exist 60 days ago."
Think about that for a moment. It's quite remarkable, really. Apple has in that time released a new iPhone, two new iPods, a new iPad and a new MacBook Pro.
"I mean, no company would have done what we did this year," Apple boss Tim Cook told Bloomberg. "We changed the vast majority of our iPhone in a day. We didn't kind of, you know, change a little bit here or there. iPad, we changed the entire lineup in a day. The most successful product in consumer electronics history, and we change it all in a day and go with an iPad mini and a fourth-generation iPad.
"Who else is doing this? Eighty per cent of our revenues are from products that didn't exist 60 days ago. Is there any other company that would do that?
None of which changes what really matters – Apple's numbers. Apple's market cap fell below $500bn today after suffering the worst one-day decline in almost four years.
At its peak in September Apple's share price reached $705.07, but after a slide of ten per cent this week it today fell as low as $518.63, although it is still up 30 per cent year-on-year.

This recipe for Rosemary Goat Cheese Scones comes from Wendy Kirby of the lovely food blog, Le Phemme Phoodie. Wendy Kirby is a lawyer by day and foodie 24/7. Wendy maintains an active law practice while pursuing her passion for food writing and photography on her blog LaPhemmePhoodie.com. We've enjoyed her blog and hope you will too.
CHEWY ROSEMARY GOAT CHEESE SCONES (Gluten-Free and Egg-Free)
These savory scones are best served warm with a dollop of butter and your favorite cup of tea. Editor's Note: Wendy did this recipe in weight measurements. If you're not sure how to convert this to household measurements, there are several handy websites for making these conversions, such as this one: http://www.traditionaloven.com/conversions_of_measures/flour_volume_weight.html
- 1O ounces Gluten-Free Flour Blend*
- 1.5 ounces Coconut Flour
- 1 tsp Xanthan Gum
- 1 tsp Kosher Salt
- 4 ounces Unsalted Butter, chilled
- 2 ounces Goat Cheese, chilled and crumbled
- 1 Tbsp dried Rosemary
- 8 ounces Rice Milk, chilled
Preheat oven to 375°F.
In a large bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour blend, coconut flour, xanthan gum and salt. Cut in the butter using a pastry knife, fork or if you prefer you can also use your fingers. Continue until the mixture resembles a course cornmeal. You should not have large chunks of butter.
Add the rosemary to the dry ingredients by slowly rubbing it between your fingers to activate the flavor as you break it up over the bowl and onto the dry ingredients. Whisk the rosemary into the dry ingredients until combined. Add the cheese crumbles and toss until the cheese is coated with the dry ingredients.
Slowly pour the rice milk into the bowl. Stir the milk into the dry ingredients with a wooden spoon. Stir until just combined. If the dough is too dry, you can add some rice milk. Coconut flour is one of the more absorbent flours so you may need to add a little milk to create a soft dough to work with.
Roll the dough out onto a floured surface and gently flatten into a circle approximately 3/4-inch thick. Cut the dough into 8 equal triangles. Gently transfer the cut dough to a greased baking sheet. Make sure to separate the scones so that they have enough room to bake. If using a scone pan, gently shape triangles into prepared pan.
Bake on top rack of oven at 375°F for 25-30 minutes or until scones are light golden brown. Start checking at the 15 minute mark to monitor the color of the scones.
Serve immediately or transfer to a rack to cool. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for approximately 1-2 days. These scones are best when served immediately.
*Gluten-free flour blend: 11 ounces brown rice flour, 3.75 ounces potato starch and 1.40 ounces tapioca flour. Combine the ingredients and whisk together until combined. Measure out 10 ounces from the combined ingredients.

A Polish man accused of going equipped to steal in a stolen car appeared casually dressed before a judge yesterday.
Dawid Tychon, 29, of Ellison Road, Streatham, was remanded in custody at Kingston Crown Court for a plea and case management hearing in November.
Mr Tychon wore a red t-shirt with an England flag on and blue jeans in the dock at the short hearing where he listened to proceedings via a Polish interpreter.
He is accused of handling stolen goods, driving while disqualified, driving with no insurance, going equipped for theft and driving a motor vehicle without consent of the owner.
Mr Tychon looked unimpressed as he was remanded in custody by Judge Paul Dodgson.
He was arrested by police on Sunday, August 17 in Garratt Lane, Wandsworth. He will next appear at the same court in November.

|Climbed here for the first time today and there was some really incredible climbs for sure. The one thing that was a bummer besides height were the bolts. I'm not an ethical purist by any means (Rumney's home crag) and I agree with TR anchors to save trees, but the bolting here is a bummer at best and disgusting at worse. Saw at least a half dozen half drilled bolt holes were it looks like some one started drilling and then thought of a better place. Didn't look like Ken N.'s chopping work cause there was no damage besides half drilled holes. Worse then that were two bolts, presumably for TR. Both of them were on their own however, one was right above a perfectly suitable horizontal, and the other one WAS IN A HORIZONTAL CRACK, that could easily fit three bomber pieces...What the F#@!

jrathfon, I'm glad some one responded. As I mentioned I appreciate the TR anchors meant to aid in saving the vegetation, but those bolts aren't needed in to back up a horizontal since cams would be perfectly suitable. I don't find the user group to be a valid excuse for throwing bolts in for TR were a gear anchor would be bomber. That argument is exactly the same to me as though some one were making an excuse for bolting a crack. "College kids want to lead the crack, so we protected it with bolts since they don't know how to place gear." If all of the gear anchors have bolts, then what's to push them to learn to place gear. By the way, I am a college freshman leading trad and have been since last summer. My position would have been the same before I started leading, so the school group and college student argument really doesn't hold water in my book.
It sounds like you or other locals have put some good work into making the climbs accessible. I applaud that and say thank you, I certainly enjoyed it on my visit.

In the interest of historical perspective, I've reported the names that routes have been known by over the years based on the best information that I have. It's certainly possible that my information on ascents in the 1970s - and this is typically from my firsthand experience of these routes from this era - isn't the real skinny on the ratings, the first ascents or the routes' names when they were first climbed.
When I've become aware of a currently, widely used name for a route, I've updated my route description with that name in the interest of making it easier for people to find routes in this guide. I'm not interested in being the Righteous Route Name Police. If you want to post a helpful update on a route description that I've provided (don't be a troll about it), your feedback is welcome.

Hi, Any thoughts on how quickly Rose Ledge dries? After a rain, would it be dry to lead the climbs the next day?
We are looking at climbing Sunday, and Saturday is a 90% chance. Any thoughts would be great.

BREAK IN! - Watch your stuff!
On this past Sunday, my car was broken into and over 5,000 dollars worth of gear was stolen at Rose Ledge in Northfield, Massachusetts.
Below is a list of what was stolen, with the more odd/personal stuff highlighted (pictures included at bottom).
Thank you - I've also included contact information for both myself and the police officer who came to the scene.
A full trad rack including:
a full range of C4s to 3 - some doubles
a full range of C3s (except the smallest)
a full set of ball nuts - LINK to picture
30ish stoppers - mostly BD but some DMMs in there, too.
Standard, grey, Mammut rope.
All gear was on a gear sling - each piece was attached with their own, gold, keyless Black Diamond biner.
There is more misc. trad/climbing gear too, but that's the gist.
All of this gear was in a Mammut Neon Gear 45 Pack.
There were also 2 large packs of camping gear stolen including:
a North Face Flight Series pack - red and grey - roughly 3500 cu inches
an Osprey pack - roughly 4500-5000 cu inches - blue and grey
a Jet Boil w/ all accessories
a MSR internation stove - I bought this stove from EMS as a no return/as is - IT SAYS THIS ON THE BLACK BAG THE STOVE COMES IN
headlamps - Tikka plus, Princeton Tec (one with just one led and 3AAA(all black), one with 4AA on back - (orange/black)
two sleeping bags - one EMS 5 degree and one Mountain Hardware -30F, both with stuff sacks (I think the EMS bag is blue/grey and the Mountain Gardware is green/grey).
There was a bunch of other camping gear - I can't even begin to think what else was in there.
Thank you for your help and your keen eyes. (I've also attached the two pictures incase the links do not work.)

|Was there this weekend. If you go to the end of the paved road and up the trail there, you'll run into a wall of rocks from the power company. If you take the dirt road from the turnaround spot on the paved trail, it will carry you directly across the clearing and onto the right trail.

|Just a note on directions from Poplar road: There's a lot of construction for the power line going on, so the directions here don't work. From the end of the paved road, continue on the trail into the woods and stay left at the fork, reaching a wide gravel road quickly. Turn right onto the road and then take the next left and there will be a sign for rock oak ramble trail. Follow the gravel road in the direction of the sign which then leads back into the woods and eventually to Rose Ledge Trail, where you turn right.

Park in the lot, pay $3 (not sure who it goes to, or if it's checked since there's no receipt or tag to display in your car), and walk uphill.
You'll see a left fork in the road with a yellow gate across a newly paved road. Take the left, and you'll find yourself under the power lines.
Take the first left turn on to the marked hiking/skiing trails.
This will lead to the red trail if you stay straight long enough, not much more than a quarter mile or so. Take a right on Rose Ledge trail, and you're there in a few minutes.
